Thinking Allowed
We are all aware that America and now
Alabama are deeply in moral crisis,
thumbing our nose at God’s Word and
being told to institutionalize immorality
as “holy matrimony.”
I do not have easy answers to offer.
Christians must pray, we must vote, and
we must serve in public policy life and
at the highest levels of government.
Christians must be more Christian than
American. We must obey God, rather
than men.
Christians must stop supporting immorality by our entertainment choices.
Christians must live by and stand up for
biblical truth. Christians must not say
that it is none of our business.
Christians are not to hate sinners, but
surely not approve of their sin. We
must think biblically and make moral

“Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus!”
decisions, decisions about what is right
and what is wrong conforming to the
Bible.
We are all aware that our nation and the
world are in an Islamic terrorism crisis.
We have abandoned our embassy in
Yemen, and we have abandoned the
Yemeni people, as we abandoned the
Iraqis and the Afghanis. Thus, Islamic
terrorists are more emboldened every
day.
Christians must pray, we must vote, and
we must serve in public policy life and
at the highest levels of government.
We must serve in the military. We are
not to be blood-thirsty and cruel, but we
must take action to protect the innocent
and to protect free communication of
the Christian Gospel.
As to the Christian Gospel, a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ can bring
forgiveness for moral sins. Through
faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit of
God can change a life and lead us into
all truth. A personal relationship with
Jesus Christ can bring forgiveness for
any and all sins and turn hatred and
anger into peace and love. The best
way to defeat an enemy is for him to
become a brother.
I love you,
Brother Allan
PS: Please pray for Sunday’s business
meeting, as the congregation decides on
the nomination of Jonathan Jeffries as
Minister of Education and Family. At the
end of Morning Worship, we will go into
business session to consider questions
and then to vote.
I encourage you to let elected officials
know your convictions related to the
Pastor’s Thoughts to You
moral issues and defense issues we are
facing as a state and nation.
The youth led Sunday evening service is
a real blessing. Our young people use
their talent for the Lord. Thank you.
