Standing Up For God Against Sin
Operation Human Shield
Seymour, Missouri
January 16, 2011
Today we went to Seymour, Missouri to stand with hundreds of others in an event called, "Operation Human Shield". It was to shield the family of Sgt. 1st Class Robert Pharris of Seymour, MO from the Westboro Baptist Church who intend on protesting his funeral.
I am a Marine Corps veteran and I am a Christian. Two great reasons to attend this event.
This is different from many of our events where we go to stand against sin. The sin we are standing against today is from an organization calling themselves Westboro Baptist Church.

Here are some quotes directly from their brochure of this funeral they are protesting:
GOD HATES AMERICA & IS KILLING
OUR TROOPS IN HIS WRATH
Military funerals have become pagan orgies of idolatrous blasphemy, where they pray to the dunghill gods of Sodom and play taps to a fallen fool. OUR TROOPS IN HIS WRATH
This message to be preached in respectful, lawful proximity to the memorial of Sgt 1st Class Robert W. Pharris.

The Lord no longer builds the American house, nor does the Lord watch over and protect America. These soldiers are dying for the homosexual and the other sins of America. God is now America's enemy, and God Himself is fighting against America.
THANK GOD FOR IEDs

Their beliefs are wrong and goes against the Bible, even though they pull scripture out of context to justify their actions.
Psalm 94:16 says,
Psalm 94:16 says,
WHO WILL RISE UP FOR ME AGAINST THE EVILDOERS? OR WHO WILL STAND UP FOR ME AGAINST THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY?"
It is bad enough when sinners, who know not God, sin against Him. But when a group claims Christianity behaves this way, they need to be exposed. True
Christians aren't standing up enough these days to expose these wolves
in sheep's clothing. The apostles exposed false teachers by name in
order to protect God's people. We should as well.
Matthew 7:15-18:
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
The group that came to protest actually spent the night in town and ate in town for breakfast. However, they did not show up at their appointed protest time and place. I believe it was because there were probably a couple of thousand people who showed up to support the family and shield them from this group.
In your every day life, be sure to stand for God. It may not seem like you are making much of a difference, but you are.
God bless,
