The Action Report April 2010 My precious friend, "WE DON'T WANT TO OFFEND THEM". That is what some Christian leaders who support Israel say concerning the Jewish people. They may mean well. But they are not being true to the Jews by being false to Jesus the Messiah. And this is where, as a seasoned veteran in Christian/Jewish relations, God is using this ministry and this servant to call Christian leaders to a witness of honesty and truth as well as unconditional love. This is happening again on the East Coast as calls come in for counsel and help. What am I telling these leaders? "Love the Jews and Israel unconditionally. Most may not be open to believe in Yeshua. Support them anyway. Always. But never hide the Messiah from Jews - or anyone. Let your witness be bold but sensitive - truthful but never arrogant. Some will listen. Others will tune you out. Just continue to stand by them, as Jesus does." No true Christian wants to offend anyone. But not sharing what Jesus Christ suffered on the cross for all men is the biggest offense of all - against God who gave His beloved Son. It is to hide the only answer to the problem of sin - and allow others to die and face God without the Savior's atonement. Pray for me as I help Christians to escape this "We don't want to offend them" trap of Satan. One can accept Jews and others as they are, without hiding who we are - lovers of Yeshua who wish every person could experience His love, forgiveness and acceptance. Ezekiel (who warned his people) sure agrees with me. So does the Savior who said, "Blessed is he who is not offended in me." So does Paul, who was willing to be cursed if only his people would be saved. See why my task to teach this to Christian (and Jewish) leaders is tough, not always popular, but pleasing to the only One that counts - God Himself? Do we need your prayers and resources to keep doing it? Yes, a thousand times yes!! Our transition is complete. The office is now in Rancho Cucamonga, California - directed by our new Vice President Walter Contreras and team. Please discard your old envelopes and use our new ones with the new address. Also, the team wanted to offer my books to you who have supported this work so faithfully. See the enclosed flyer. I think they did a great job and I hope you will want this collection for yourself. Will you stand with us this month as we strive to serve as examples to others to truthfully exhibit the love of Jesus in action and word?! We need your help, Frank Eiklor Related Articles · More Articles Jesus said many would come in His name and deceive the hearts of the simple, sinful and proud. Eastern mysticism and meditation is a big thing in the gullible West. And one day a “world leader” will appear on the scene with the persuasion of a god and the heart of a devil. Jesus warns His children to know the Scriptures, live in obedience to the Father’s will, and stay alert to the signs of the times. They laugh no more. Now God’s description of how He will destroy the old earth and create a
new one makes perfect sense. The splitting of the atom turned many skeptics into believers.
After all, look what man himself is capable of doing with the atom and hydrogen bombs. Now
the fear is that nuclear weapons are being placed in the hands of madmen who wish to annihilate
their enemies. God has blessed man with incredible genius. We stand in awe as we watch men and women in a room full of computers and high-tech instruments guiding and landing spacecraft on distant planets. At that moment, we appear invincible. But then a mammoth tornado comes—or a terrifying hurricane—or rains that flood whole regions and never listen to our shouts to “Stop!”—or the shake that removes from under our feet any confidence or pride we carry, and leaves us numb with hardly enough breath to even utter the paralyzing word “EARTHQUAKE!”. And man is helpless in the face of it all! |
