Christians
in the United States have many blessings with which to serve God including:
freedom of expression and assembly, a pro-Christian president and
administration, safety within our shores, amazing access to electronic knowledge
sources and communication, unprecedented financial wealth, wonderful biblical
learning tools, and a robust church all of which provide opportunities for wellbeing,
fellowship, learning and service. However, as in every past and future generation,
Christians face challenges to our community and freedoms.
Our
enemies
- We are surrounded by a totalitarian,
big-government culture which hates us. This should not surprise us
because Christ promised the world would hate us (John 15:18-24).
I
struggle to coin a name for these forces, but they have evolved from the
historical political left and now manifest strong elements of socialism, one-world
totalitarianism, and atheism. For this blog, I will call them “globalists”
because I believe the term encompasses the characteristics noted above.
The
globalists’ hatred is visibly demonstrated by the current violence, death
threats, and verbal abuse against Christians and against a president who supports
Christian values, as well as law and order. Indeed, it appears the unified
underlying motives driving the evil intentions of the globalists, is their hatred
of Christ and biblical principles. Sadly, they generally promote:
· Eliminating Christian
access to the public square
· Limiting free speech
· Early sexual exposure
· Abortion
· Race-based bigotry
· Blurring of the
genders
· Men using women's
restrooms
· Destruction of borders
to dilute American society and its exceptional benefits
· Forcing jihadi
immigration into America to destroy our culture
· Jihadi violence
against women and homosexuals, and mutilation of young girls
Their
goal
- Globalists replace individuality and personal freedoms by demanding that each
person depends on the government for their job, residence, social benefits, and
wellbeing. They fight to replace God, communities and family with an
all-powerful government.
Their
Methods
- In short, ‘Just shut up!’
Christians
often mistakenly believe that globalists think like we do, based in the same
values, and try to engage in the public square in a mutually respectful way.
Nothing could be further from the truth! While Christians generally treat
others and their views respectfully, globalists use repressive tactics with an
‘ends justify the means’ ethic to destroy those with whom they disagree.
So what
are their specific methods of culturally cleansing Christians?
· Shame - The classic argument
from a humanistic standpoint is that Christians are narrow-minded, unloving, judgmental
people in contrast to globalists who are all accepting of all and everything.
In reality, however, globalists themselves are very narrow-minded and
inflexible in their views, and condemn strongly those who disagree with them.
· Intimidation – They seek to
silence us by threatening violence and verbal abuse.
· Name calling - Of course, any
disagreement with a globalist earns one a title of homophobic, racist,
misogynist, anti-science or fascist. They cover their own agenda by calling us
exactly what they are themselves.
· Corruption (anything is fair) - They intend to eliminate
our influence in the public square by using voter fraud and by forced
integration of migrants to dilute our communities, destroy our liberty, and depress
our Christian culture.
Thank
you for reading my blog. Quite a challenge, but we have a big God! May we be
people of faith! Join me again next week as we discuss what our reaction should
be!
