Applauding a church that wants to stand

By: American Decency Staff

Dear Friends:  Some of you follow us closely. Some of you show you are in it with us by standing with us in the many events that we host.  Some of you show by supporting us and praying for us and encouraging us.  All of this is needed and so deeply appreciated.

Stand with us once more – register for Jim Simpson
this Friday and/or Saturday.

Via Michigan Live,“U.S Representative Debbie Dingell (D-Dearborn) last week lambasted Bloomfield Baptist Church (greater Detroit area) for planning on having Jim Simpson (who will be ADA’s speaker this Friday in Fremont (203 E. Main Street)  and Saturday in Grand Rapids (Doubletree Hotel, 4747 28th Street, SE, Grand Rapids).”

The article begins:  “Michigan congressional leaders are speaking out against anti-Muslim events planned around the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

‘There is no place for hate in Metro Detroit, in Michigan or anywhere in the United States,’ U.S. Reps. Debbie Dingell and Andy Levin said in a statement condemning the events scheduled for Sept. 11-12 at Bloomfield Hills Baptist Church, northwest of Detroit.

“’We implore the Bloomfield Hills Baptist Church to forgo the anti-Muslim events planned for next week and instead recognize America’s rich cultural and religious diversity as we reflect on one of the most painful days in our country’s history and heal from recent acts of white supremacist violence,’ the lawmakers said.”

Initially, the church got “cold feet” and the elders voted to cancel the event, which included Jim Simpson, ADA’s scheduled speaker for this Friday and Saturday. 

But, the church leadership along with the Pastor Dr. Don McKay – who is a known stalwart for truth against Islam – returned to strength and voted unanimously to continue with its plan to host Jim Simpson on Thursday night at Bloomfield Baptist (3600 Telegraph Road, Bloomfield, MI)

Jim Simpson, upon hearing of the attack upon the church, reassured the church by sending an email of his background.  You, too, will find it invaluable.

“I am a credentialed economist, and taught at a major state university upon graduation. The university's terminal master's program was rated second in the nation and I attended on a full scholarship plus a stipend. I was in the top of my class and the first person ever hired by that department directly from the student body to teach economics. I then went to my first career job as an economist/budget analyst for the White House budget office (Office of Management and Budget). I worked for the Director's personal economics staff office where we provided economic analyses for White House staff, including the President. I worked under Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton. I then went on to found my own successful business in an unrelated field, but maintained interest and study in economics and public policy, especially military strategy and intelligence. Following 9-11 I began to write in earnest, believing my knowledge and insights to be of value to the nation. I quickly gained a following writing for David Hackworth's news magazine, DefenseWatch, read widely throughout the Pentagon. One of my articles published before Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), accurately predicted following events and articulated much of the military strategy subsequently used – a successful strategy until President Obama prematurely abandoned Iraq. I have since become a published author of five books and thousands of articles in many periodicals.

“I say all this not to impress you but to firmly establish the fact that I am a serious person with serious credentialsand can speak with authority on the subjects I cover. I am not motivated by hate, but genuine alarm – informed by 30 years of study – at the direction our nation is heading.”

Then I wrote the following to the church on Jim Simpson’s behalf:

“Dear Elders,

“Being an elder myself at my local church (in the past), I understand the responsibility that you feel regarding the matter of having or not having Jim Simpson come and speak in your church this coming Thursday (September 12).

“Last year I was at your church for the event that featured several speakers including Frank Gaffney, Phil Haney and Anni Cyrus and Farrah Prudence.  Your pastor also spoke very effectively.

“Your church has been a true lighthouse in the greater Detroit area.  Your pastor, too, is a deeply appreciated man of God who is recognized as a passionate man for the Gospel and for the righteousness of Christ!

“As presumably, we all are aware, churches in Europe have lost their courage, their boldness for trumpeting God's Word in the lives of their congregations and of their communities.  Many have folded.  Others are small in attendance and have lost their salt and savor.  As the church has retreated, darkness has engulfed their community, nation and lives.  That is happening in any community that flees the spiritual battles of our lifetimes.

“I have heard Jim Simpson speak and I have read his writings.  He is a truth teller and has been used mightily by the Lord.  He is not a radical, a hater and certainly not a "white supremacist."

“You have been appointed/elected by your congregation to ‘stand therefore putting on the full armor of God.’

“Please, men of God:  The need is so great for you and all of us to humble ourselves, seek His face and ‘act ye like men’ in these days.  Where else are people going to turn in the greater Detroit area who are looking for answers, godly answers, regarding major issues of our day like those being handled by Jim Simpson?

“As you have helped before, help those who need a place to hear the counsel from a good man.”

Jim Simpson was resisted in Bloomfield Hills not because he is so “radical” but because he is a straight forward truth teller.

Many of you have been to our events featuring Frank Gaffney, Steve Coughlin, Phil Haney, Patrick Poole, Sand Rios, Kevin Freeman, Mat Staver, etc. He speaks as they speak – with compassionate truth. 

Jim will be speaking on the Red-Green Axis

The Red-Green Axis is a strange partnering of Communism (Red) and Islam (Green) for the nefarious purpose of defeating the American ideal. Their goal is to undo our Constitution, strip us of our freedoms/rights, and bring us under the totalitarian rule of a new government. It’s an odd partnership because their forms of government are different; but they both have the same goal—the fundamental transformation of America. We must learn how to stand against these enemies from within.
