Kinship Christian Radio Announcer Allen Jones has already written about the hack attack of the Kinship Christian Radio Facebook page, but I’d like to add a few thoughts and some prayer.
It was clear that there was an Algerian connection to this attack and specifically to postings about Beth Crosby’s recent trip to Israel.
Algeria has long been known to be anti-Israel. To this day, Algeria refuses entry to any citizen holding an Israeli passport or any other visa from Israel.
To Facebook’s credit, the problem was resolved early Monday morning and Kinship Christian Radio’s page was back to normal, praising and glorifying the One True God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
But, what could Beth Crosby possibly have written that caught the attention of a hacker? What threat would cause someone to want to keep people from seeing and reading about the spiritual blessings in the Holy Land?
The answer is simple: The Truth.
Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
To see pictures of the places where He walked and He preached and to read Beth’s descriptions about where He lived and breathed and healed and died and rose from the grave threatens those who oppose Jesus Christ because it means He was and is real.
Kinship Christian Radio’s Facebook page was hacked because the enemy of our souls feared what was posted there. The father of all lies fears the Truth.
Truth sets souls free from bondage. Truth conquers fear. Truth defeats sin. Truth is victorious even over death.
And so, like Allen, I see cause for rejoicing in this minor inconvenience because it means that Kinship Christian Radio is being effective in its mission or the enemy would not oppose it.
Lord, we thank you for Kinship Christian Radio. We thank you that you have blessed this ministry and entrusted its people to bring forth the life-giving Gospel of Jesus Christ. We thank you that your love, your mercy, your grace, and your truth are available to millions of people freely via the miracle of radio. We praise you and worship you, Lord, and we ask your continued protection, blessing, guidance, and provision for this ministry and all whom you have entrusted with the Great Commission.
We pray that you would open doors for more and more Christians to visit Israel, that they would see and touch and smell and feel the places where the Lamb of God walked, that it would make their faith more real and tangible to them, that they would be filled with your Holy Spirit, that this would help them to share the Good News and the Kingdom of God would grow and fill all the earth with people who would have the power to grasp the depth, the height, the breadth, the length of the love of God in Christ Jesus.
We pray, Father God, that you would bless and protect the Nation of Israel and the Holy City, Jerusalem, from all harm and evil always.
And Lord, we pray for the person of persons who attempted to disrupt this ministry. We ask that they would not be cursed, but that you would soften their hearts and draw them to you, that they would be overcome by your amazing love in Jesus Christ and come to be saved.
Let all this be so in the name of Jesus Christ, again, to the praise of your glory! AMEN!
HALLELUJAH!
