Thoughts on 'Preaching the Gospel' vs. 'Fighting Abortion'

-
Opposing and exposing evil and consistently speaking on behalf of those who are dehumanized and destroyed in our culture is not contrary to the preaching of the Gospel. The Great Commission does not cancel out a Christian's responsibility to rescue those being led to the slaughter and God's command to love our neighbor.
In fact the Great Commission includes teaching others God's commands, "teaching them to observe all that I commanded you." God has commanded us to love and rescue the orphan, weak and oppressed, to stand against evil, love mercy, establish justice, correct oppression, and bring justice to the fatherless.
Preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ and rescuing my pre-born neighbor from death are not contrary but harmonious.

Below are ten questions you can use to ask a Jehovah's Witness or someone else who you are concerned is in a high control group. Now, these questions are designed to help your Jehovah's Witness friend to start thinking critically because they are become conditioned to rely on an organization to think for them.  These questions are not designed to just start blasting one after the other at a Jehovah's Witness. They way to use these questions is by genuinely asking them in a calm setting and allowing your friend to answer. Then, after you have asked these questions you can return to your friend's original answer and apply literature and information exposing the organization. Now these questions also involve YOU doing your own research and finding the best information to bring into the conversation. 1. Do you believe the Bible was written to all people? Initially most cults would agree that the Bible was written to all people. However, after further research yo

Approaching Two Jehovah's Witnesses to Discuss Christmas and Their Double Standard

  Happy New Year! The day after Christmas I approached two Jehovah's Witnesses and asked them their reasoning for not celebrating Christmas. My goal was not to get them to believe celebrating Christmas is acceptable but rather for them to see how they carry a double standard.  Jehovah's Witnesses are quick to call out Christendom for its supposed false teaching and pagan doctrines. However, what is considered a false teaching for other religions is simply a mistake or error when it's taught by the Watchtower. Secondly, if we take a look at the teachings JW's held during the time Jesus was supposedly inspecting all the churches, they were not the proper food at the proper time. They interpret Matthew 24:45-47 as a prophecy to mean God will appoint a "Faithful and Discreet Slave" to feed God's people. They currently teach the Faithful and Discreet Slave is their Governing Body. However, this teaching has changed over the years.  You can listen to my conversa

The truth that sets free is Jesus!

This person left a comment on one of my "shorts" where I describe the agenda in a JW Book Study. Ironically, for them the truth in John 8 is referring to a person, NOT an organization. I told this person, they need to keep reading because Jesus is the one who sets free from sin. Jehovah's Witnesses are indoctrinated to believe that truth must be found in an organization. I've seen this with other religious groups where they are led to believe their church is the only TRUE church. When disillusion strikes these individuals because they've uncovered falsehood, lies or deception in their group they are still left with the question of "what church/group has the truth?" Instead, the New Testament continually points to a person for salvation and freedom. Our job is not to identify the true religion but rather to respond to a person and his work. "and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 "Jesus answered them, “Tru
