To the Ecclesia (εκκλησία)—Church scattered abroad throughout the world
Something is Wrong
Many of you sense that something is very wrong with the world. You are aware there is an abrupt change in the world of Man. At no time in the history of our existence, except the antediluvian—pre flood period, have we seen a “Great Reset,” due to what was declared a “Pandemic—COVID-19 virus – originating from Wuhan China, in which the entire globe stood still, leaving global death in its wake. The impact of the “lockdowns,” which stifled global economies, destroyed small businesses, shut down houses of worship, caused school closures, and cancellations of elective surgical procedures, cruises, weddings, holiday celebrations, you get the idea.
We’ve observed followers of Christ being slaughtered by Islamic extremist in Africa, manufactured inflation increases producing food riots, gas shortages, transportation disruptions in Sri Lanka and other parts of Asia, Europe and the Americas.
We have seen the rage on the streets of America, Paris, London, Canada, and Australia of those who justify rioting, assaulting, and burning down businesses, homes, and government offices—think L.A., Oakland, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, and the like. One of the saddest things is a reintroduction of racism this time toward our “White” and Black conservative Americans and the grooming of children by the LGBTQ+ community. Critical Race Theory is another Marxist attempt to undermine the foundation of Judeo-Christian principles for the United States of America, for they know if we are divided, we cannot be united.
Recently, The Supreme Court of the United States, in an Earth shaking 6-3 vote, ended the Constitutional right to an abortion by a proper interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, sending shock waves throughout America affecting those in support of the sacrificing of babies both within and without the womb.
We at Lost Lives Matter see a parallel to what Paul the apostle states:
[Rom 1:28-32 NASB20] 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper, 29 [people] having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, [and] evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, [and] malice; [they are] gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unfeeling, [and] unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.We believe these socio-cultural, pandemic, and geopolitical upheavals are just like some of the “signs” spoken of by Jesus Christ in Luke chapter 21: 8-12. This is a clarion call for the Church, aka People of God, to come together in unity and actively, intentionally, and unashamedly do what Christ, our Messiah, commanded us to do at His ascension in Matthew 28:18-20:
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.—NASB
We must remember that “For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” –Romans 8:15 NASB
We must never forget we are God’s children placed strategically in this time of history “for such a time as this” to reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ because LOST LIVES MATTER!
