A Holocaust Survivor Loves Liberty

Hello All,

This is MassDogg once again, droppin ya’ a line.  It has been a crazy, but awesome few weeks here, as we have been getting ready for this week’s trip to Nashville, TN.  Currently, it’s almost midnight, and I just got home from an event that featured a guest speaker who was a Holocaust survivor.  As I thought about how tired I am and all the things we have to get done this week, everything was once again put into perspective as I listened to an elderly lady give her testimony.  She said two things that will probably stick with me forever.  The first was when she read Psalm 119:71: “In thy faithfulness thou hast afflicted me, that I might learn thy statues.”  She said, through her tears, that she would not trade any one of those twelve years of affliction because it was those years that she truly learned who Christ was.  

It is crazy to our natural mind, especially to us microwave society Americans, that the Lord will afflict his kids to teach them.  Most of us have been taught that trials and afflictions (the cross) is a bad thing and that we are to run the opposite way when it comes.  Yet the heroes of the faith were all tried and afflicted that they might learn God’s statutes.  It is in the fire that gold is made.  

The other thing that hit me was when she was telling the story of when her and her friends got out of the concentration camp and finally were able to get on a boat and head for America.  She said, again through tears, that when they were coming into Ellis Island and they caught the first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty through the fog, all they could do was weep - because of what that lady represented.  For me this put our duty into perspective.  Our duty is to restore the foundation of what God gave this country.  I see many times that people will push off duty because they are too busy, tired, selfish or think that it’s not their calling.  In turn what is happening? We are losing our country and God given freedoms.  

This lady said she has now been in America a long time and has seen society go down hill.  It’s sad when it takes a 70-year-old lady to tell 1,800 Americans how much she loves God and this country to get them motivated to do what they have already been commanded to do.   I thought to myself, it is the youth of this country who need to hear her story because they will take it and run with it.  If you are reading this blog, God has given you the strength to stand for His name.   A preacher named Vernon Jones said “My daddy always said if you see a good fight, get in it.”  We are at a moment in time where we must fight and I truly believe that it will be us young people that will take back the land. AMEN!!!
