Kingdoms at WarFor those that believe that the spreading of the Gospel in some parts of the world is a fad, they should know that it is God moving, and in other parts of the world there is another type of spiritual war is occurring just as it is written in the Word about the end times. “Please don’t label me” is on one of the billboards of a new institution; with the subtitle “Let me grow up and choose for myself” This is the second publicity run of the atheist movement in the United Kingdom, orchestrated by Atheist Alliance which is directed by the scientist Richard Dawkins. The first publicity ads early this year read “God probably does not exist, so stop worrying and enjoy life”, this also brought to Spain in the midst of great controversy. Something very ironic occurred in this last campaign, as they searched for visual aids, they found themselves with a photograph of two children, that they thought, reflected an image of joy from freedom of the’ chains of religion’ thought by their parents but without knowing the photograph they chose was the photo of two siblings, baptized in a Christian church, “if they reflect joy”, according to their parents, “it is because of the Christian values that they have received in their church and at home.” Olli Mason, 7 years old, and his sister Charlotte, 8, appear in billboards throughout London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. They are the children of Brad Mason, a Christian who is known in religious circles for playing the base for the Christian artist Noel Richards. Mason is a graphic designer and photographer who sells his photographs as an extra income for his family, photos that are used by publicity agencies and newspapers. The Atheist Alliance in Brittan chose the photograph of their children because of the joy and freedom they reflected. “Obviously there is something different in their faces” declared their father to The Times “That is why they were chosen which is ironic and at the same time a fulfillment of a promise. It shows that we have educated our children in such a way that it has brought them joy” Though all the signs point to the end of times, there are Christians that are sleeping and have forgotten the purpose for which we have been called to watch and to be prepared as Noah was at his time. It’s time to increase our faith and fulfill our purpose in Christ, to go and share the Gospel with everyone, to be a light in this world. |
