The Action Report Integrity Can't Be Compromised By Frank Eiklor My precious friend, In 1980 they were among the loneliest people in world. Lonely but happy. I’m just speaking of persecuted believers in China or the former Iron Curtain countries where I ministered. I’m speaking of Jews—Jews who believed in a Jew named Yeshuah. Messianic Jews. Why so lonely? When a Jewish believer entered a church, Christians tried to turn him/her into a Gentile. On the other hand secular and religious Jews labeled Jews who believed in Yeshuah as “traitors”—no longer Jews. And there was a third group—the one I joined. We spoke out against anti-Semitism and hatred against Israel. I led in the fight that called for strong action—not merely supportive words. Many Jews, weary of hate and centuries of “Christian anti-Semitism” applauded. But I was warned not to have visible fellowship with Messianic Jews or the Jewish leadership would reject me. “And don’t teach that Jesus is for Jews.” My answer was simple: “But Jews who have encountered the real Yeshuah are my brothers. And Jesus is for everyone—Jew or Gentile. I must offer Him graciously, openly and non-coercively to all— with unconditional love.” During the last 40 years, I continue to teach thousands each month on how to love the Lord—how to live Him—and how to share Him. They learn how to confront hate aimed at the Jews and Israel—unconditionally—regardless of Jewish response (or lack of it) to the gospel. And they don’t hide from the growing thousands of Jews who call Jesus Savior and Messiah— and are no longer lonely. Our aim remains: “To introduce to the world the unconditional love of God by fleshing out to the world the unconditional love of Jesus.” Your prayers and support keep that motto an up-to-date reality. Integrity can’t be compromised. Frank 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! |
