Many of you remember the hymn, “Am I a soldier of the Cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name?”
Recently, Christians have been challenged by society to be still and not discuss Christian views on sex or science. Our universities that we support with tax dollars promote two lies—first, that God did not make the world and everything in it as the Bible describes, and secondly, that people have the right to determine which sex they prefer to be no matter which sex one is born with!
At Flint International Friends we are working to destroy these lies with God’s word. Last month we took over a dozen students to view the movie, “Is Genesis History”, which defends the Christian view of creation with scientific evidence.
This week, our partner church, St. Paul Lutheran Church (Flint, MI) hosted a movie and lunch event for our students showing the film, “God’s Not Dead – Part 2.” Students were challenged by the film to speak out in school when their beliefs are threatened by godless theories taught as truth.
A famous missionary to China, called for Christians to speak up and not be Chocolate Christians of the Cross—that melt in the face of opposition, like our familiar hymn warns. Instead we are to be like the 40 ice-soldiers bound in an icy pond who died rather than deny their Lord.
