The Optics or the Coptics, Mr. President?
Maybe you peel off a drone or two from watching Beck’s ranch or Limbaugh’s mansion and you could introduce the next Jihadi who gets within 100 feet of a Coptic church with anything bigger than a birthday candle to the business end of a Hellfire missile?
And maybe, just maybe, for the first time since you made that promise in Grant Park about bringing America together, you would enjoy the gratitude and the respect of all Americans?
In all seriousness, friends, we cannot depend on this President to act; on every occasion, he has proven to be a reliable Marxist and therefore a despicable excuse for a human being. Up until this point he has lived by his father’s dreams and Alinsky’s rules, why should he waver now?
About a month before the breakdown of the Morsi regime in Egypt, I had the privilege of interviewing for the Uncommon Show, Avi Lipkin, an expert in Middle-Eastern affairs and Israeli security, and one of the few legitimate voices that predicted the events of September 11th. What he said was absolutely stunning.
Lipkin predicted the fallout of the “Arab Spring” and said that Obama knew what was coming and would welcome it because he has every intention of picking up after it fails and welcoming in possibly hundreds of thousands of “Muslim refugees.” If Lipkin is right, then we know that the President will treat the cry of our Coptic brothers and sisters in the same way he treated the pleading of our Ambassador and former Navy Seals in Benghazi – with cold, hard indifference, a little sleep and then a fund raiser.
But we, too, have a chance to regard again the events of Benghazi and this time, make a difference. The Christian voice worldwide must rise – rise up to the throne room of God and then echo in the war rooms of every State Department of man. Prominent Christian voices that have up to now focused on “fad diets and global warming” must shirk off the nonsense of men and take up the banner of our brothers and sisters … of our Lord.
Christians must come together and they must do more than pray. When Moses lingered in prayer on the edge of the sea, God asked of him, “Why do you continue to cry to me? … Lift up your staff!” That same God told Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face?” There is a time to pray my friends and so let us pray; and there is also a time to pick up stones!
