I still remember when I was young, and during Sunday School, we would learn the song “Onward Christian Soldiers.” Just to refresh everyone’s memory, here are the lyrics:
- Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!
- Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
- At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
- Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
- Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never ’gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise, and that cannot fail.
- Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages men and angels sing.
Now, why do I bring this up, you ask? Simple, I want to know where the Christian soldiers are today. Where are the young Christians on college campuses volunteering to escort their fellow Jewish students to classes and home again? Where are these soldiers who should be standing in unity to defeat the true evil in the world today, radical Islamic supporters? The very people who will, if they are allowed to have their way, come after Christians next.
I call on all Christian college athletes to volunteer to serve as escorts for Jewish students on campus. I further call on all Christian organizations on college campuses to counter-protest and force confrontations with the true evil in the world. Those shouting “We are Hamas” are terrorists, and the only good terrorist is a neutralized one.
The time is now to show the world that America is not an anti-semantic country. Rather, it is time to show the world that we haven’t forgotten and that we stand ready to defend our fellow Americans and guarantee that the right our Constitution speaks of, namely FREEDOM of RELIGION, will be adhered to.
