Our hurting brothers and sisters around the globe
Our Chinese brothers and sisters
Right after we ran the article on how the home-schooling Landahl family had narrowly escaped their persecutors in the Youth Office, the Mayor’s Office and the Court in Germany, we got an email from an old email acquaintance, an otherwise Christian conservative, who asked why we bother to write about German home school families. His argument was that the German government has laws against home schooling, so they should honor them. He said that to intervene in this was like writing to the Saudi government to protest the persecution of Christians there.
This attitude is one reason why
We have either forgotten that our allies still look up to us and that we do wield tremendous power as an opinion shaper.
The Left in
Conservative Americans must understand that Christians are a family, and their members are everywhere, scattered around the world.
Everyone who has read much of this site knows that we are militantly opposed to world government and stay up late at night worrying about the possibility of a future president signing on to the World Court and giving the UN power over our internal affairs. This kind of treachery has already been perpetrated in the Bush administration, and we have Huckabee poised to do the same but on a more grandiose scale. Almost all of the remaining candidates, except for Paul and Hunter, are CFR members, and as such are likely to give our sovereignty away at the first opportunity.
But the kind of intervention we recommend in these alerts on foreign persecution of Christians is not governmental. We simply want individuals to stand up to foreign governments and say “inasmuch as ye have done it to one of these ye have done it to me. Now back off.”
As we also recently said, Laigle’s has a life of its own, with international activists begging us to intervene on their part. There is now never any need to sit around and think about what topic to tackle. The question is: how to handle all the requests.

A New kind of “conservative Christian”
Christian Newswire recently ran a press release by a “new” kind of Christian on book touting a “new” kind of “conservative Christianity.” His name is Dr. Joel C. Hunter and he is the president elect of the Christian Coalition.
This “new” conservatism advocates that Christians should be “valuable contributors as citizens of the world.” Excuse us, but wouldn’t that be the repackaged old notion of world government, or, say of “compassionate conservatism”? Marx gave us the idea of world citizens, and the Soviet Union used the slogan “workers of the world unite,” so there is nothing new here, except it poses as Christian, and even that is old hat by now.
You can package “Christian” Leftism any way you want, but it is still leftism, and that is a concept not compatible with the Christian wing of Christianity.
I wouldn’t bother mentioning any of this, but these “new” Christians are everywhere, like an army of locusts and they are eating up all the tender shoots of sound scriptural doctrine in their path. That doesn’t leave much there for the “little ones” who need spiritual food.
The Master said that anyone who harms one of these little ones is better off being thrown into the ocean with a millstone about this neck.
