Defend the Front Line!

Jan Markell’s latest update is must read for all Christians.

Excerpts:

I was stunned recently by the story of a pastor from Brazil. One day in the not-too-distant past he was airborne and seated next to a lady who, at 6 p.m., began praying fervently. When an opportune moment presented itself, he asked her if she was a Christian. Much to his chagrin she said, no, that she was praying to her father, Satan, for the demise of pastor so-and-so.

As the conversation progressed, this Brazilian pastor found out that the Church of Satan worldwide has set aside the 6 p.m. hour every day to pray for the demise of the Christian church, and most specifically for its pastors.

From the "Fairness Doctrine" to "hate crimes," believers now have to watch their step.

Von Campe radio interview with Jan Markell

This week Jan Markell interviewed Hilmar Von Campe. I suggest every American listen to what this man has to say. Jan's Radio Show. Scroll down to January 24, 2009 - Hour 2.

Hilmar Von Campe was a member of the Hitler Youth movement. His book is "Defeating the Totalitarian Lie: A Former Hitler Youth Warns America." Von Campe says that the same totalitarian issues that were present in Germany in the 1930s when Hitler came to power are now becoming evident in America. It is must-listening even if bits are lost due to Hilmar's German accent. It is also another wake-up call though it seems few are listening. www.voncampe.com
