Just a Thought on the Crusades.

This picture is worth a 1000 words but I will say the crusades were not as bad as people try to make them out to be. The reason the crusades began was because Muslims in Jerusalem were persecuting Christian and Jews. Food supplies were cut off so the crusades originally started to protect the aid that the church sent. Now some of the knights became corrupt but with how Islam acts today I wonder if its not time for a New crusade. A NON VIOLENT ONE! sorry just wanted my point to be clear. Crusades means witnessing to Muslims and showing our government Islam is a political system as well you cannot separate the two. To those who are like me out on the front lines witnessing and praying and taking political action you are the new Crusaders for Jesus. I pray you keep focused on your goal and keep up the good fight you are the New Crusaders so put on the full Armor of God.

Ephesians 6:13-18 ESV
(13)  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
(14)  Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
(15)  and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
(16)  In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
(17)  and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
(18)  praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

God bless you all
