Tim Tebow has a national and world Christian pulpit – he and Billy Graham and his son, Franklin Graham, have this incredible opportunity for Jesus. We all do on a lesser scale. Only fear of the attacks of men – the atheists, the power hungry, the immoral, etc., stop our witness for Christ. Tebow said: in an interview, he was asked how he felt about the bitter criticisms? His answer? Jesus said: “Whosoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven” (Mt. 10:32, KJV).
We true believers should remember what Jesus told us would happen to those of unchanging faith: “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you” (John 15:18-20, NLT).
God has taken the hate of the lying world and turned it into good for all of the world. The data for this story was contributed to NACE/CEE by Assist News Service (Mark Ellis).
When I was traveling seven days a week, then home seven days a week while going to every State in the U.S. to build up our CEE Chapters (1710) in 15 years; it was my great privilege to be on T.V. and radio debates, weekly, with the likes of ACLU, PAW, NEA and other atheist groups. It was unprofessional and downright brutal, the made-up lies about our parents’ and teachers’ groups, to try to ruin our organization and discredit their leader (me). Winning the debates was easy, but trying to dispel the lies was harder. Christian “libel” attorneys said: “we have an open and shut case; however it would cost a fortune to prosecute.” That is what honest Christian leaders face today with such evil worldly men and organizations that I mentioned.
An example: one of these newspapers and articles in magazines is this “The Wall Street Journal” article. A female journalist with the ACLU wrote an article called, “The Most Dangerous Man in America” and ran a picture of me on the front page of “The wall Street Journal.” She said: “Dr. Simonds never graduated from High School. He portrays himself as needing support for his radical right wing Christian Teachers’ and Christian Parents’ groups, wanting to destroy our public schools. He sits in an all-glass ten- story building hauling in the money from little old ladies on Social Security, robbing them of their food.” Wow!
Well, you can imagine how these false statements would make you feel! All lies and published all across America. All we could do was ignore it and work harder. In reality, our headquarters was a small office in the front of our warehouse in a small industrial park: a one- story building with ten full time staff of godly Christian workers.
NACE/CEE had so few supporters that we were going to have to move because our income was so low we could not sustain our office and warehouse rent.
As for the wanting to “destroy the public schools”: we were only tax payers trying to save our public schools, and save our American K-12 children from atheism and openly homo/lesbian immorality. I met with the U.S. Dept of Education, and more than 30 State Departments of Education. There were four federal meetings a year in Washington D.C., for four years, and they cost a lot in airline tickets. They refused to give an inch with all my evidence, compiled diligently and my own special “white papers;” reports to also prove the Scriptures gave us a perfect plan. They were all rejected!
It hasn’t been a fun thing for me battling alonewithout most of our Christian Churches’ and Pastors’ help. Why? “Our wives work there, as teachers, and our other Christian teachers need their own jobs there or they will not be able to tithe to our church – so we can pay our very high church construction mortgages. We can’t afford a Christian School if we take our children OUT of public schools”. (A big wonder)-- what will God say about ‘beautiful’ churches at the cost of 20 million Christian children, lost to all forms of atheism, immorality, abortions’ slaughters of beautiful unborn babies…on and on! Talk about an exciting “Judgment Day” – called the “Great White Throne Judgment” – Truth will be the standard of Law and Grace at that event! (Rev 20:10-15).
There will be no excuses there! God haters as well as lukewarm Christians will all see themselves as God sees their sin – “too little, too late” – couldn’t commit.
The evidence for all the Biblical Truth about God’s Plan and fulfillment in Jesus Christ, our Lord is without end. For atheists and all doubters who are said by the great Apostle Peter to be “willingly ignorant” (II Peter 3:5); the Apostle Paul said: “without excuse” (Romans 1:20); King David said: “the fool hath said in his heart, there is no God” (Psalm 53:1). Men of Science, men of history, creation and Prophecy (Old Testament and New Testament) have proven: there isno defense at all for non-belief, or doubting.
Yet the greatest evidence is for the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The power of his miraculous virgin birth; His sinless life and miraculous works; His incomparable teachings; His volitionaldeath; His necessary and sufficientsacrifice to redeem all mankind from sin and death; and His glorious bodilyresurrection from the grave; then His ascension back into heaven are all true facts of history, with multitudes of eye witnesses.
He was God incarnate; the EternalWord made flesh; the Creator who became ourSavior; our hope and our complete trust to return to earth as our King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
There was never anyone like Jesus, He said: “Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:25). All of these factual occurrences were prophesied (told in advance of happening) beforehand (Old Testament) to ease anydoubt it was God doing it – a miracle (each one), that ONLYGod could do. All of these were fulfilled in the life of Christ Jesus – and many yet to come.
Rejoice, O’Christian, we do not live and trust in vain! His cross is a world-wide symbol of loving and caring. You and I are fulfilling that love for Jesus’ “little ones,” by helping our Lord’s work in saving them from a mandatory indoctrination into atheism and all its hellish abortions and gross immorality. You and I, (the Bible and the Bible ONLY Christians) are part of God’s promises as part of “the general assembly and the church of the first-born” (Heb. 12:23).
We are God’s team. Our usual first quarter income has not happened yet. However, we will WIN this battle with Satan for these souls. We do need you, beloved, desperately.
My life, gladly given for you and His “little ones”,
