We had a neat opportunity to have our “Occupy Wall Street” ministry featured yesterday on a program called “Focal Point with Brian Fischer” from American Family Radio. If you get a chance, take a listen:http://www.afa.net/FocalPoint/ (Click on “Hope for Occupy Wall St.”)
Please keep us in prayer as we go this week as well, and for more Christians to get involved in this situation.
Is there a standard for voting? How can we be sure to vote in a God honoring, biblical way? Brand new website and video reveals how to vote biblically in the 2012 Presidential Election. www.votebiblical.com and compare the 2012 Presidential Candidates.
Here are some highlights of our visit to the Occupy Wall St. protests. It got a little hostile at some points but overall everything was well received with many great conversations after each preaching time. We focused on what the bible says about some of the glaring issues, also preached the Gospel and God’s law as the ultimate standard for government, politics, the economy and all areas of life.
The “Operation Freedom” team was supposed to join some brothers in Washington DC this weekend, but we were not able to make the three day trip down to DC.
We are instead, visiting NYC tomorrow, Saturday October 15th, 2011. If you live in the NY area, and you’d like to join us, we will be visiting the “Occupy Wall Street” protests in Manhattan tomorrow from around 12 noon to 4 pm, to preach the gospel. (If you are interested or you have any questions, please reply to this email.)
In a nutshell, here are our intentions and focus in going to the “Occupy Wall Street” protests:
1. To stand against the communist/socialist/liberal spirit of theft and idolatry and to lay out God’s law/views on these issues.
( To ask the protesters, “What would God say about the views behind Occupy Wall Street?” There are some good things about it, anti-big government for example, but many dangerous views being promoted as well that clearly violate God’s law. Much of what is being protested is anti-Christian in nature and promotes unbiblical policies for our nation.)
2. To call people to turn to God, repent and believe the gospel.
3. To expose the sins of our nation: to show biblically why God could be slowly turning us over to more and more tyranny within the government, among other things, due to the shedding of innocent blood and the support of homosexual marriage to name a few. To show the way of forgiveness and restoration, through the cross of Jesus Christ.
4. To proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ as the only path to true liberty, personally and politically.

Prayerfully in Christ,

Before I answer the question proposed in the title, let me give you a quick glimpse into the movement called “Occupy Wall Street.”
On or around September 17th, 2011, hundreds of protesters gathered on Wall St. in Manhattan to stand against the unfair policies of our government and politicians.
Since then, thousands have rallied and the movement has quickly spread into various cities throughout the United States. With famous politicians, actors, actresses and many of society’s finest stepping out into the action to give their two cents, the movement has gotten international attention, and if nothing else, has made their voice heard.
