Reviewed and discussed NOTE, "God Sends...US Forwards."
(overview)
"Alien" & "Illegal" problems and opportunities.
"Sanctuary Movement."
People are blind to the obvious (referred to Basketball Passing Video). Misdirection leads to lost condition.
Contrasted Biblical evangelism with Calvinistic presumption.
Calvinist calls Biblical great commission "overzealous preacher agenda" and "conspiracy theory language."
DISCUSSION...
God is sending thousands of lost people to South Carolina to hear the Gospel and the Church in Myrtle Beach is not even trying to reach them.
It is not enough that others reach them, Seaside Chapel should be reaching them.
It is not enough that we witness, we need to volunteer for service in God's ministry through the local church, through Seaside Chapel.
It is not enough that we intend to do it later, because later will be too late.
God set up Sanctuary Cities in the Old Testament (called Cities of Refuge). If a person killed a neighbor (possibly by accident) he could flee to one of 7 cities and find refuge. If he left the city, he was not protected.
Church times brought protection from the State or law by allowing people to find refuge in a church Sanctuary.
Diplomatically, people find Asylum through an Embassy.
Today, American cities provide protection from the State to illegal aliens. The only connection between Sanctuary Cities of today and Cities of Refuge in the Bible is a contrived connection.
People are told to look for certain concepts in society.

People are told to look for certain concepts in society.
They are redirected to politics, racial issues, economics, academics, social concerns, conspiracy theories, entertainment, pleasures, amusements, false hopes and false messiahs.
People are so focused on everything else, they are oblivious to the threat of Biblical destruction and Biblical deliverance.
People are so focused on temporal elements, they fail to see the real dangers and the real solution.
Society's attention is being diverted from the Gospel.
The Church's attention is being diverted from a world in trouble.
Biblical Christianity is labeled “Conspiracy Theory language.”
American Christianity has been led astray by sinning religion and social salvation.
The attention has turned from salvation to political correctness and seeker friendly services and sinning religion.
Bible Preachers have become Pollyanna like.
Who will volunteer to spend and be spent in reaching a lost world for Jesus?
