Our Sermon Section
By James Thompson - 25 Mar 2013
In Reference to: 24 March 2013 - Where is the True Jesus Christ?
What a truly brilliant sermon for Palm Sunday and the beginning of holy
week! Yes in++deed, so much emphasis amongst evangelical Christians
about the need 'to be saved1. Yes, and very necessary too! But when the
fruits of being 'born again' amongst so very many, lacks the compassion and
empathy for animals, then it becomes in my mind no more than bubble and
froth. Yes, plenty of clanging cymbals amongst today's born again. Yes, but
totally lacking in empathy and concern for animals horrendously exploited.
Indeed, from such shallowness and myopic compassion may the Good Lord
deliver us. But then, was it not the same as regards slavery and the abuse
of the Negroes in the time of Wilberforce, yes, and Wesley? Indeed, bishops
had vested interests in it and even George Whitfield condoned it!
Admittedly, isolated texts can be rooted out to condone almost anything, but
then there is surely an evolving form of progression in Scripture where, for
one example, the practice of one age is superseded by a more relevant and
fuller revelation in the next. For example, 'you have heard it said, but I
say un to you!'
Thank you Frank for your wholehearted dedication for the animals. I'm
cheesed off with so many of the arrogant Saved lot saying: 'Brother
Thompson, do not get side tracked by the animal cause. Just get people saved
and they will then care for animals'. Well, what poppycock! Most of them are
only concerned about assuring themselves further that they are amongst the
human elect. Indeed, most of My humble efforts shrink in to insignificance
alongside of you.
God grant all power to your pen.
