When many of us hear the term, "Never Again", we immediately think of the unbelievable atrocities committed on humanity by the Nazis in the late 1930s and early 1940s before America and its allies liberated the death camps while liberating Europe from Hitler's Third Reich which was terrorizing the civilized world. As a Jew, "Never Again" has a special meaning. It's even more chilling when one realizes that had Hitler possessed in 1940 the technology available today, there would not be a Jew left on planet Earth.
Since those horrific years, throughout history there have been other "Never Again" Moments and times and even before. When innocent people with black skin and white skin are lynched for no reason....... that's a "Never Again" Moment. When Presidents, would be Presidents, Civil Rights leaders, and others are assassinated for no reason other than hate.......... that's a "Never Again" Moment. When 4 little girls, some proud and loving parent's babies are violently killed in a bombing while in the safe confines of a House of God........ that's a "Never Again Moment". When dozens of black youth are killed every weekend in Chicago mostly by other black youth in gang drug war violence and it doesn't even make the national news......... that's a "Never Again Moment". When a police officer is gunned downed and killed while risking his or her life to serve and protect us........... that's a "Never Again Moment". When an American Soldier makes the ultimate sacrifice defending our country and our freedoms whether on a distant battle field or at home at a recruiting center ....... that's a "Never Again Moment". When Christians are raped, burned alive, and beheaded in the world for no other reason than being faithful and we turn a blind eye....... That's a "Never Again Moment". Finally, when millions of unborn citizens are murdered every year because they have no voice yet to make it known that they would "choose" life if only given the chance........ that is a "Never Again Moment"! Unfortunately there are no shortage of these moments.
"Never Again is Now"! Right now! If we as civilized human beings don't rise and stand together as one (Red and Yellow; Black and White), we risk losing not just our freedoms but our way of life and even our very lives. If that doesn't matter to you, think about your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. If it still doesn't matter, then God help you. There are enemies outside and inside our once great nation that seek to divide us any and every way possible to weaken us because they know that united we are a force for good. We have fallen into the trap and we must pull ourselves out.
There is an event happening in Birmingham, Alabama on August 28 & 29 at The Guiding Light Church and The Jefferson County Civic Center called "Never Again Is Now". It has been organized by Bishop Jim Lowe, Pastor of The Guiding Light Church, a Godly man of great courage and Glenn Beck, another Godly man with a very good heart. Details are available at www.guidinglight.org and www.mercuryone.org. As a Christian I appeal to everyone who reads this post to come and be a part of this event. There will a rally at the church on Friday night, a march on Saturday morning, and another rally at noon at the Jefferson County Civic Center. Once again, details at www.guidinglight.org and www.mercuryone.org.
The purpose of this event is to rally Churches, Synagogues, Pastors, Priests, Rabbis, Believers, People of Faith, and anyone who loves America to stand together and join together to be the beginning of the next "Great Awakening" so that "Never Again" is never again.
