Prepare To Go Underground

If current trends in Europe are a portent of what is to come for Christians in America, we doomed to be not just marginalized but possibly criminalized. Street preachers in Britain are routinely reported to the police for "hate speech" when they restate Biblical truths about homosexuality. Now, with an increasing Muslim population in Britain one must be careful to not speak the truth about Islam's prophet.  

From LifeSite,

"Sabaditsch-Wolff, a diplomat’s daughter who has lived and worked in the Middle East, was censured for having spoken at a meeting organized by the right-wing Austrian Freedom Party 10 years ago in Vienna. Her intention was to speak about the treatment of women and the practice of jihad (“Holy War”) in countries such as Iran and Libya, on the basis of her own experience.
During her speech aimed at an audience of about 30 people, she spoke freely about the prophet Muhammad and his relationship with Aisha, whom he saw and desired when she was six years old. He married her on the spot, and the union was consummated when she was nine. He “liked to do it with children,” she said, adding that she had argued with her sister about the words she would use to describe the facts.
She insisted on being straightforward: 'A 56-year-old and a six-year-old? What do we call it, if it is not pedophilia?'
A journalist present at the meeting taped her words. His editor-in-chief went on to turn them over to the police, and Sabaditsch-Wolff was indicted for inciting hatred toward Muslims and for having disparaged their prophet as unworthy of veneration.
She was not found guilty of the first violation. But she was condemned for the 'disparagement' in 2011 to a 480-euro fine (about 550 U.S. dollars) or up to 60 days imprisonment."

At least the court didn't pronounce a fatwa on her. Let us hope things don't go that far in Europe.

I had better start saving up my money in order to pay the fines when that form of "justice" comes to America.

In a recent interview with Prophecy Today, Bishop Gavin Ashenden touched on the growing influence of Islam in secular Britain, 

"There are only two ways to deal with Islamic ambition in history - and they're either to convert Muslims from Mohammed to Jesus, or to meet force with force. I'm still puzzling and praying about my own response to these two ways. I obviously prefer the first, and I don't know to what extent the second is accessible. 

I think if Christians want to preserve any kind of safe space to worship Jesus without interference from the state, we need to enter the public arena with more courage than we've found in the recent past and tell as much of the truth about the human heart, the prophet Mohammed and Jesus the Messiah as we can, in the hope that some secularists will listen and that this will buy us a bit more time. 

I think as I look at the history of Islam and the weakness of hedonistic secularism, my own sense is that we have to prepare for a Europe entering a period of darkness in spiritual terms, with the Church having to go underground."

My sense is that a spiritual vacuum has been present in Europe that is being filled by Islam, and the first consequence of this will be to silence Christians, effectively driving the Church underground.

The increasing secularization of America will create the same spiritual vacuum here.

So, be prepared to go underground.
