OBAMA LETS TERROR MIGRATE TO AMERICA, MOST OF ALL REPUBLICAN MAJORITY STATES & SMALL TOWNS FOR NOW
People are flooding social media to encourage Americans to call their congressional representatives to stop the resettlement of Middle Eastern migrants after government officials and contractors admitted the migrants cannot be tracked or vetted properly. The White House announced it was still accepting at least 10,000 migrants over the next year despite the Paris attacks.
Similar to what happened in France prior to the attacks in Paris. An armory in Massachusetts was mysteriously broken into on Saturday night, thieves made off with 16 guns, 6 rifles, and 10 pistols. Cartel gunmen pursued by Mexican Police walked right across the U.S. border and disappeared. While Isis calls for attacks on Washington D.C. and ramps up the possibility of terror on one of the many cities found on the ISIS kill list.

BIBLICAL REPROOF: “WHO ARE THE PIRANHAS?”
Who Are the Piranhas?
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational,
and research purposes:
There is a crowd of independent Baptists who despise biblical reproof when it is geared toward prominent preachers, and it is one reason why we say that most independent Baptist churches will be emerging within twenty years. When reproof is maligned, there can be no correction.
Public reproof toward a fellow Baptist preacher is invariably mischaracterized as cheap gossip, slander, and carnal backbiting, regardless of how true it might be. It is called “shooting the wounded” and is always characterized as a harmful thing.
You will wait in vain for these men to characterize public reproof of prominent Baptist preachers as a positive, biblical thing that can be done from a sincere, God-led heart or for any encouragement to be given by these men to reprovers.
The most recent example of the maligning of reproof is an article by Cary Schmidt entitled “What Christians Can Learn from Piranhas” published on the Ministry127.com blog.
The following excerpt sets the tone for the whole of the blog: “God’s Word warns us repeatedly about devouring each other, but it’s too easy to fall into this trap. We often mask our slander as ‘concern’ or ‘standing for the faith’ but in the presence of Jesus, those flimsy rationalizations will be vaporized, and our true hearts will be revealed. … This thought brought to mind the picture of a piranha–a regular fish that rabidly devours” (“What Christians Can Learn from Piranhas,” Ministry127.com, Sep. 5, 2015).
He implies that piranhas are motivated by pride, as are piranha-like critics, and he quotes Romans 12:3 and Galatians 5:26 as a warning in this context.
This is amazing both from the standpoint of natural science as well as of preaching, since the author can no more know what motivates a fish than he can know what motivates a “critic.”
I, for one, reject and despise backbiting, gossip, and carnal criticism. It is very harmful to the cause of Christ. Any time I have found myself to be guilty of this, I have repented. The churches we have planted have been hurt by it many times. I have personally been the target of it countless times. Anything that comes of deceit and false speaking and the spirit of James 3:14-16 is wrong and is not of the Spirit of God, and I renounce it most emphatically.
“But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work” (Jas. 3:14-16).
Yet by no means is this what the author of the piranhas article really warning about. When these men speak of piranhas and shooters of the wounded and buzzard chasers, they are talking about much more than the danger of carnal gossip, and IN TRUTH THEY ARE REVEALING A SERIOUS LACK IN THEIR OWN MINISTRIES.
First, they lack a biblical foundation and spiritual wisdom in this matter.
Though they have a biblical foundation in some areas of their ministries,* in this particular matter they lack one, because Scripture shows us the example of preachers who reprove often and plainly and name names in the process. We see this in Jesus’ ministry with the scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees (Mat. 16:6; 23:13-33). We see it in Paul’s ministry in the case of Hymenaeus and Alexander (1 Tim. 1:20), Phygellus and Hermogenes (2 Tim. 1:15), Hymenaeus and Philetus (2 Tim. 2:17), Demas (2 Tim. 4:10), and Alexander the Coppersmith (2 Tim. 4:14-15). (* For example, the author of the piranhas article has a book entitled Just Friends that is helpful for preparing young people for marriage.)
They lack a biblical foundation, too, because they fail to make a distinction between godly reproof and carnal backbiting. The latter is condemned in Scripture, but the former is most forcefully commended!
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; REPROVE, REBUKE, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:2).
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, forREPROOF, for CORRECTION, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).
“These things speak, and exhort, and REBUKE with all authority. Let no man despise thee” (Titus 2:15).
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather REPROVEthem” (Ephesians 5:11).
“But all things that are REPROVED are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light” (Ephesians 5:13).
“He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth REPROOFerreth” (Proverbs 10:17).
“Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth REPROOF is brutish” (Proverbs 12:1).
“Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth REPROOFshall die” (Proverbs 15:10).
“As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise REPROVER upon an obedient ear” (Proverbs 25:12).
“The ear that heareth the REPROOF of life abideth among the wise. He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding” (Proverbs 15:31-32).
God commends reproof and correction, and if ever there were a time that calls for it among Baptist churches, it is today! Surely God is stirring preachers to reprove, rebuke, and exhort in this day, and nowhere do we find that certain preachers are out of bounds, particularly so if they have large public ministries and thus influence large numbers of people.
Two, they lack forthright honesty and (possibly) courage.
I believe that it is dishonest to hide one’s warnings behind generalities, innuendo, and strange metaphors. It is a lack of biblical candor.
Further, by this tactic, the preacher can always deny whom he is targeting. Is that not cowardly and disingenuous? Third, they lack love.
Those who speak about spiritual dangers in vague generalities lack love for the Lord’s sheep. If there really are piranhas in our midst, we need to know exactly where and who they are!
By not being specific, the preacher creates carnal suspicion.
What if the people hear such warnings and mistake a harmless reprover who is a man of God for a hurtful piranha who is an enemy of God, and in their confusion they try to net the man of God and do him harm?
In truth, and I speak by personal experience, if a preacher warns about the music philosophy or evangelism program or some other thing that pertains to a prominent Baptist leader, he will be the one who is the target of “piranhas” in the form of that preacher’s supporters and apologists!

F.C. Jennings: “People do not love unpalatable truths, and when they have the alternative of listening to soothing assurance, moving eloquence, pleasing illustrations, and entertaining anecdotes, they not unnaturally avoid and withdraw as far as they can from the scathing rebukes of the prophet” (Jennings, Studies in Isaiah).
R.A. Torrey: “It is clear that there must be difficulties for us in a revelation such as the Bible. If someone were to hand me a book that was as simple to me as the multiplication table, and say, ‘This is the Word of God; in it He has revealed His whole will and wisdom,’ I would shake my head and say, ‘I cannot believe it; that is too easy to be a perfect revelation of infinite wisdom.’ There must be, in any complete revelation of God’s mind and will and character and being, things hard for the beginner to understand; and the wisest and best of us are but beginners” (Torrey,Difficulties in the Bible).
Private Reproof vs. Public
It is time for this heresy to be buried.
They say, “Who do you think you are to speak against such men?”
I can’t answer for others, but my personal answer to that is, “I don’t think I’m anybody at all. I’m just a frail and simple man God saved and called to preach, but I have His authority to speak and so does every other God-called preacher.”
God solemnly charges the preacher to identify false teachers, to exhort, reprove, and rebuke with all authority, to speak as the oracles of God, to earnestly contend for the faith, and even to warn about born-again compromisers (Romans 16:17; 2 Timothy 4:2; Titus 2:15; 1 Peter 4:11; Jude 3; 2 Thess. 3:6; 2 Tim. 4:10). Nowhere in Scripture are these commandments restricted in their scope. Nowhere does God say that a Bible preacher can reprove and rebuke only the members of his own church or that he can reprove and rebuke anyone who errs except an influential Christian leader.
To reprove public sin and error publicly by the Word of God under the guidance of the Spirit of God and in His wisdom is not slander and is not gossip and is not “throwing rocks” and is not“shooting the wounded” and is not hateful and is not dishonoring to Christ.
Private offenses and private sins need to be dealt with privately, but public errors need to be dealt with publicly. When a man builds an ecclesiastical empire, of sorts, and influences thousands of people beyond the borders of his congregation, his errors are no longer private matters and they are no longer matters pertaining only to his church.
When a man admits and repents of a sin or error, that is one thing and is dealt with in a certain way. But when an influential man covers up sins and errors and lies about them and even goes on the attack against those who try to expose them, that is another matter altogether and is to be dealt with in entirely a different way.
We don’t publicly reprove every pastor who errs or call out every church that compromises. Contrary to the silly and slanderous accusation that some have made against us, we don’t consider ourselves the “policeman of the IFB movement.”
The reality is that some men’s influence is much greater than others. Some men’s ministries effect only their own congregation, whereas some men’s affect tens of thousands.
When the sin of hypocrisy and the compromise of the principles of equality under the gospel was spreading in the early churches, the apostle Paul singled out Peter to rebuke before them all, for the simple reason that he was the most influential personality in that mess. “But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I SAID UNTO PETER BEFORE THEM ALL, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified” (Galatians 2:11-16).
We must be wise in speaking, but speak we must when the situation merits it. Let us fear God more than man.“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe” (Proverbs 29:25).
“Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen” (1 John 5:21).
One can hide in the crowd in this life and take his “stand” with the weak-kneed majority, but no one can hide at the judgment seat of Christ.
