Silent Christians Part 1


In Truth Talk USA's interview podcast with Christian author David Fiorazo, he discusses the current situation going on within the church.  

By keeping silent and not sharing the Truth boldly we are now seeing chaos and lawlessness abound not only out amongst the secular world but even within churches. Church attendance has dropped, division is occurring amongst churches, there is moral decline, and false doctrine abounds within many so called Christian churches. Consequences are now stemming from our silence. We were told many a times throughout scripture what would happen if we turn our backs on God and pursue wicked ways. God’s wrath against sinful humanity is clearly unfolding right before our very eyes as it is revealed in Romans 1:18-32

"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."

You can learn more about the consequence of Christians being silent in David Fiorazo's book The Cost of Our Silence: Consequences of Christians Taking the Path of Least Resistance

I will share Part 2 of this video series next week. 

Grace and Blessings to you all!

Keep Fighting the Good Fight



A Christian thought to ponder ....

As the woke mob and cancel culture invades our country, it takes root within our churches, our military, our schools, our government, and businesses, it's main aim is to cancel God and to cancel Christianity. However, Christians know that God cannot be canceled. He is sovereign and all-powerful and is the Creator of all things. God is bigger than the woke mob, He is bigger than CRT, and He is bigger than any corrupt government. 

To be sure, the radical left is blind to God's Truth, and the radical left wants to replace God with a Marxist totalitarian one-world government. Power corrupts people, and the people running our country have rejected God. Everything that is happening and occurring today is prophetic. The antichrist's spirit is running amok in the world and causing chaos and division everywhere, and it is trying to silence Christian voices. We must refuse to be silenced and canceled. 

In Olive Tree Ministries' newest video, we learn from author David Fiorazo about how the left is canceling Christianity and censoring and silencing churches. His latest book, Canceling Christianity, informs us about the epic battle we are facing and how to keep fighting the good fight and stand up for the Truth. 

The Christian soldier is always ready for battle to share the Truth. However, many Christians are no longer placing the armor of God on, and they are not prepared for the spiritual battle that is unfolding. Many Christians have become too focused on themselves or have become apostate. We must be united and speak the Truth, be alert of wolves causing division within our churches and spewing lies, and keep fighting the good fight. 

1 Timothy 6:12
"Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses." 



Pray you all have a blessed week!
In Christ,

Sharing the Truth



A Christian thought to ponder....

In today's troubling world, fear abounds, and there are many Christians around the world who are afraid to share God's Word for fear of being ostracized, fired from work, blocked from social media sites, imprisoned, or even killed.

You don't hear about this type of news in the media very much because that detracts from Satan's plan and Satan's agenda. This type of news might stir people up to have sympathy or support towards Christians. Satan does not want people to have any sympathy or support towards Christians.  Satan wants hatred to abound. He wants restrictions on freedom of religion and restrictions on freedom of speech. So Satan's big lie spreads like wildfire that all Christians are racist, homophobes, evil, wrong, and oppressive, creating an atmosphere of hatred and division.

Satan's world is full of lies. It is a world where people only want to hear things that will tickle their ears and not convict. It is a world where right is wrong and wrong is right.  In Satan's world, people don't want to hear anybody else's side or ever hear God's Truth. 

Christians must stand strong in their faith and trust in the Lord as we sojourn in Satan's world. When the Truth has fallen upon deaf ears, keep on sharing the Truth and continue to pray. As someone once said, “The greatest way we can show love to another person is by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to them.” And as it says in Mark 16:15-16, Jesus instructs us to share the Truth, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." Only God knows who will be saved or condemned. 

As you share the Truth with others, you will face bad times, but keep on sharing the Truth and continue to pray. For God is with you during the good times and the bad times. He will hold you up when you face trials. He is your anchor amongst the storm. In scripture, God tells us in Isaiah 41:10, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." Just as He told Isaiah to fear not, we too have nothing to fear, for God is in control, and He will strengthen us and help us. 

We share God's Word not to gain friends, not to gain rewards, not to gain social status, nor to condemn or crucify others. But we share the Truth to help the lost and misguided, to help others see that Jesus is the way, the Truth and the Life.

Heavenly Father,

You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. You are trustworthy and the Bringer of Hope. Help others to see how alive Your Word is and how much You love us. Help give us hope and peace when all seems dark and hopeless. Help us to be bold and to forgive those who would persecute us and even kill us. Help refresh our spirits and help our faith to grow and remain firm. 

We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Pray you all have a blessed week!
