You Must Take Action: Follow Up To 911..Who Cares?
This is being visited again because it wasn't just rumor-mill talk it. There was so much truth to it that it arrive on a Christmas card that I received today. Like I always say every rumor has a bit of truth it. The rumor usually contains a very small amount of truth entangled with a large amount of lies.
The following is info I got from the USPS (United States Postal Service), online store:
Eid Greetings is by Mohamed Zakariya
The Eid stamp is one of two issuances in the Holiday Celebrations series in 2001. It commemorates the two most important festivals - or eids - in the Islamic calendar. Previously issued stamps in that series are Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Cinco de Mayo. Eid al-Adha marks the end of the hajj, the annual period designated for Muslims to make their pilgrimage to Mecca. Eid al-Fitr celebrates the end of the Ramadan fast.
There is nothing wrong with Muslims having a stamp issued for the celebrations that are important to them but it should not be a slap in the face of America or any other religious group. It should not be eased into the celebrations of another group and then force that group out of the very thing that make its celebration important.
So why is it being connected to the Christmas celebrations?
Maybe it is part of the techniques being used to strip Christ and Christmas from American Christians.
This is important because:
many other countries look at what we do
many of them mimic and copy us.
If we as a great and powerful country have given up/squashed Christ what will follow? Maybe we feel there isn't a great need for Christ because we are now a big country. We can handle our own affairs without the need for guidance.
We as a country and Christians should never forget our God. Nor should we let someone remove Him or replace Him with other things or gods. When we let other things ease in we eventually replace God with them. It may not be intentional but other things receive the bulk of our attention. They take up more of our time and they become more important. We show this by prioritize our to do/must do list. And on this list the things of God are last. Many times we don't realize our actions have a tremendous effect on the future of our nation and our grandchildren. Thus much of the chaos we're experiencing in America.
"Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God an a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me." (Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 5:9)
What really amazes me is when the hard core atheist/non-believer gets into a life threatens situation or in dire straits he calls out to God. In that moment, he (the atheist/non-believer) doesn't care to know anything about God, he (the atheist/non-believer), just wants help and he wants it fast.
We should and must realize that our God is not an imposition or an intrusion in our lives but He is our Father. He is always moving in love to help us in all areas of our lives.
What will you do? To take no action is the same as agreeing with what's being done. You must stand up by moving on behalf of what's right.
