My parents listened to Charles Stanley a lot, and I listened along with them. This story is from a guy I know who was involved in Operation Rescue in the 1980s or whenever.
Charles Stanley standing with me across the street from Atlanta’s Surgi center watched the police arresting the men women and children blocking the door keeping the murderer away from His victims. On showing him the unborn child I was carrying in a small coffin in my hands, and explaining to him what was happening on this late term abortion day, his response was to quote to me what every Nazi in history every state worshipping follower of Moloch has said when cornered on the question:
“The police are just doing their job.”
Whatever Grace, or assurance or free will or predestinarian window dressing he might have gussied up his theology with, I don’t know. I just know personally what I saw.
At the highpoint of 10’s of thousands of Christians streaming into Atlanta, to personally make it impossible for anyone to get into the abortion clinics there — three of which bordered Dr. Stanley’s 10th Baptist Church property. I met with him twice once in his office and once on the street outside Surgi Center during a rescue. As police were dragging the Christians away, I pointed out the pregnant mothers whom the police were actively keeping the Christian women away from. It was their late term day. I mentioned this to Dr. Stanley and took the lid off the tiny coffin I held showing him an 8 month Saline aborted child. He looked and asked, “Is that thing real” I answered, “She is the same age as the children across the street inside their mothers. See how the police are keeping them from talking to those Christian women one of them is my wife.”
The fact is the man spoke in the name of Jesus Christ as the leading pastor of the Churches in Atlanta. He spoke for the Nazi concept that the police obeying the law — like the Roman Centurions with Christ — were only obeying the law. He met with Major Burnett who headed up the Atlanta PD and encouraged him to perform whatever it took to clear the door of these law breakers.
He is one with the Leaders of Old Covenant Israel, cut off from the vine if they were: “We have no King but Caesar may these children’s blood be on our head an on the head of our children.”
What did he unleash on his family and city and what have we all participated in unleashing on our country? Next time you complain about the flood of forced identity in every public place and the paralysis of Christian response, remember his words. and
Remember Charles Stanley’s confession of faith in the state when you look at the news and reflect on it in the light of Deuteronomy 28:32 “Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, and your eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all day long; and there shall be no strength in your hand. 33 A nation whom you have not known shall eat the fruit of your land and the produce of your labor, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually. 34 So you shall be driven mad because of the sight which your eyes see.”
