Church of Christ and The Terrorists At Our Digital Doors
by William Jackson
Westside Church of Christ


Safeguarding our children from extremists like ISIS, and
radical groups that have a doctrine of violence and terrorism
has become a priority for American parents. This nation felt
save and excluded from terrorist actions other nations are
experiencing until 9/11 and now with teens and young
adults being recruited across our nation there is a greater fear.
Terrorists groups are attempting to prey on American children,
youth, teens and young adults that have access and
consistently using Social Media to share content and
communicate globally.

The best defense against Social Media dangers is
through education and parents being involved. Youth,
teens, young adults and even adults are being bombarded
by messages that beg for their allegiance, their loyalty and
even their lives. The mind is the avenue to the soul......
The media through investigative reports are showing more
youth and teens engaged through Social Media attempting
to travel to foreign lands to be trained or finding sites in
the U.S. to be trained as terrorist in their homelands, this
is a deadly reality. On media sites like
(http://www.westernjournalism.com/) there may be more
than 20 sites in the U.S. that may base potential terrorist
organizations.



We must broaden intellectual abilities of children and teach
them how and why to pray, beyond being enticed to join
groups that try to brainwash them to look for rewards of
intangible things. Too many children in this nation are
conditioned to defy family values, wanting things to satisfy
a temporary need to have possessions in their hands,
needing instant gratification.

information shows that potential elements for terror
groups are on national soil of the United States of America.
This is not a condemnation on children being happy; it is a
call to place a priority on what is important. If we are to be
the example the Church of Christ, in order to raise the levels
of commitment the Church of Christ must start internally,
engaging members to attend and support the Church of
Christ first in order to battle the world that tries to take
our children away from us spiritually and mentally. Parents
must teach their children first why they are members of the
Body and this is not a leisurely decision, an action to make
the serious effort to Save Souls and Keep Souls
saved starting with our families. The devil is real and uses
access to the mind, spirit and emotions to change us.
Terrorist train children in their doctrine, their faith (wrong
in its direction of death and destruction) is undeniable.
As a new convert, I'm not condemning anyone, because
of my relationships and interaction with the Body and the
leadership I see the responsibility we have to follow
scriptures our faith is based on.



As my brother and minister (Elisha Taylor) has stated on
numerous occasions we are not perfect, we can strive to
live by the Word and share the Word because of the Death,
Burial and Resurrection of Christ. We must fight the devil
and his intentions to destroy all of us.
As we meet each Sunday and Wednesday the pews
should to be filled with members of the Body; that remind
us we are more than just bodies in pews. Our time on this
place of existence is limited as we can see by the deaths
either by natural means or other situations and
circumstances of youth.
None of us are promised the next day, nor the next week,
nor the next month, nor the next year, so it would be
foolish of us to think we can be lackadaisical in our duties
to share our faith with others. Reinforce our brotherly
and sisterly commitment to each other. The doctrine of
the Church of Christ is to Save Souls and Keep Souls Saved.

The Church of Christ must not limit their access to digital
tools to share the gospel, the world will use technology
and digital tools to lead people down the road to death
and eternal fire, the Church of Christ must use its resources
as a digital beacon for individuals and families to find their
way to Christ.
Terrorists, warmongers, chaos bringers, racists, anarchists
and others spreading messages of hate, fear, death and
damnation on the Internet, the Church of Christ must
work to bring hope, love, unity, faith and salvation. What
better way to spread the word of God, his plan of salvation
that we must obey. Social Mediais a direct and
transformative tool if applied correctly.

A Plan for Salvation:
The Hearing of the death, burial, resurrection, and
things concerning the Kingdom (1 Cor. 15:1-4, Act 8:5, 12)
The Believe in having faith in what you heard (Act 15:7)
Repenting for the sins and actions committed in life, also
understanding a time for redirection and change (Act 3:19)
Confession by your mouth that "Jesus is the son of God."
(Matthew 10:32, Act 8:37)
The priority of Being Baptized to have your sins washed
away. (Act 22:16)

As the world changes from one of safety to one of
continuous monitoring of groups that are dealing in
death and chaos, evil is involved and active.
The Church of Christ ministries must be diligent in
supporting each and every Church of Christ because we
all share the same doctrine of salvation. We cannot
allow our brothers and sisters to fall from grace,
especially our children that we base our futures on.

The time for scriptural study, reflection and true Bible
teaching is needed now more than ever. Satan does
not sleep, slumber, rest, pause nor relax.
We are the Church so our drive must match our
commitment to the Word of God and the Love of
Christ. Bringing salvation to people ready to hear
about the love of Christ.

Let's not brainwash our kids with the other guys evil doctrine, because it's different than our own... Everyone's got their own beliefs and has the right to choose. We shouldn't be forcing Christ down the throats of children because we believe it's fact.

There are just as many radical Christians as there are radical Muslims. People here are better off though, so you don't see them as desperate for salvation as those in the middle east.

Unfortunately, we've been sticking our nose in their business for too long and have done much more harm than good. It's up to those people to decide what they want. We can help them, but helping isn't the same as telling them what to do.

How would you feel if the Mormons, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists or any other religious group suddenly took over this country and started forcing their agenda on you? That's how everyone else feels when you pressure your "correct" agenda on us.

Live your values and do no harm to others. This includes trying to teach them ideologies against their will.
