Truth is the body of real things, events and facts, conformity with fact or reality, a verified or undisputable fact, proposition, principle or the like. Truth is not what you want or hope it to be. Truth is real. Truth is factual. Truth is tangible, genuine and unaffected by one’s perception of it. Truth has been twisted to fit the agenda of those who would destroy us. This is our reality: Our society is at a tipping point. Right is wrong, up is down and evil is good. There are those that would have you believe and accept lies as truth. Virtue signaling and wokeness is overtaking common sense. The following are the inconvenient truths that refute the direction of the woke left.
Truth is that an unborn child is a
human life from the time of conception. Every child has distinct DNA that will guide
their development in the womb becoming a unique human being. Choosing
to end that life with a procedure known as an abortion, dismissing the unborn
child as some sort of non-viable tissue, in order to make a woman feel less
angst and guilt, does not lessen the criminal act of homicide. Our constitution
states that we are endowed with certain inalienable rights by our Creator.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Actions that end a life, are
expressly prohibited by each and every State and punishable by up to life in
prison. How then does an abortion, a premeditated decision to take an action
that ends a human life, any different? How is this an individual right granted
by the Constitution? It is not! When the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, has the temerity to scale the
steps of the Supreme Court, pound on the door and intimidate seated justices by
name, in support of an abortion “rights” protest, perhaps leading an unhinged
left winger to attempt to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh, something is terribly
wrong.
Truth is that, even though I am not
a biologist, there are only two genders, male and female. Gender
dysphoria affects .005 to .014% of biological males and .002 to .003% of
biological females. Those that are gender confused are suffering from a mental
disorder similar to a person suffering from anorexia, according to Dr. Paul
McHugh, former psychiatrist in chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Persons that
believe that they assigned the wrong gender at birth and undergo sex reassignment
surgery have a 20 times higher rate of suicide than the general public. Leftist
talking points that blame non-acceptance of those who believe they are transgender
causes a higher rate of suicide is patently false. 70-80% of children that
experience gender confusion spontaneously lose those feelings and return to
normal. Teaching kindergartners about sex, transgenderism and homosexuality is
ludicrous. They do not possess the mental capacity to understand any of those
concepts and should not be taught to accept alternate lifestyles as normative,
especially at an age where they can be easily manipulated and confused.
Truth is that parents that are
concerned about the content and quality of their children’s education are not
domestic terrorists. Anti-fa and Black Lives Matter are domestic terrorist
organizations. Why would the Department of Justice target parents, yet ignore
the violence, vandalism and anarchy promoted and perpetrated by organizations
that actually advertise their desire to tear down our Constitutional Republic and replace it
with socialism, in turn, leading to communism?
Truth is one political party is in
bed with everything antithetical to the will of God. This drive to fundamentally
transform our society is of the world. “Do
not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and
perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2
We are called to follow the teaching of Christ, not embrace things that are of
the world. Foolhardy energy policies are driving up the price of gas to
its’ highest level ever, causing undue hardship on those in the bottom rungs of
our society. Unwarranted Federal spending is driving inflation to its’ highest
level since Jimmy Carter, 40 years ago. All goods and services are increasing
in cost. This administration advances immigration policies that disregard the
law and open our borders to crime, drugs and the facilitation of human
trafficking. The pandemic was used to ignore election laws and opened the door
to voting fraud by allowing unlimited mail in and drop box balloting in all the
battleground states. That likely turned the tide against Donald Trump and
helped “elect” Joe Biden. Some blue cities are even allowing non-citizens to
vote in local elections. Our military leaders emphasize inclusivity and wokeness
instead of producing soldiers that would be able to protect our homeland. Our
educators indoctrinate our children with CRT, SEL and the like, taking time
away from teaching science, technology, engineering and math, leading to
abysmal scores in the STEM areas of study. We are no better than many third
world countries in the quality of our education, producing a generation of
illiterates. This is not the direction our Savior would have us travel.
Truth is the dark path this nation
is traveling is pushing us into the abyss. There seems to be no way to slow
this rocket sled towards hell. We can feel lost, with the sense that we are
unable to stop this runaway train. We cannot, of our own volition, make a real difference.
“I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
In this broken, sinful and dark world, how do we, as Christians shine the light
of Jesus into the darkness? The only way we can overcome this great evil is
through Him. There have always been differing opinions, but most shared common
goals, no matter the politics. That has changed. Without any common ground, we
cannot reconcile with one another. Without any common ground, we make enemies
of our neighbors. Without common ground, we are doomed to failure and the fall
of our nation. There is one common ground that we all share. We are all
children of God, and that makes us all brothers and sisters. We have one
Savior, who gave His life for us even though we are all sinful human beings,
who love ourselves more than our Creator.
Truth is that we must be able to open a
door to dialogue with those in which we disagree. As Christians we are called
to “make disciples of all nations”, especially those in opposition to Christianity.
After all, Jesus told the rabbis in Mark 2:17, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but
the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” So, it is
incumbent upon us to reach out to the lost and open a door so that they can recognize their
true Savior, and we cannot accomplish this if we build walls and harbor animosity
toward those in which we disagree. Those who are lost are not going to find
their way to Jesus if we fail to engage with understanding and love. God loves
all of His children unconditionally and wants all to come to Him. Listen to
opposing viewpoints. Find common ground. Plant the seeds that the Spirit can
nurture and grow. Take the first step toward healing our division. “On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning
coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:20-21 It is difficult to hate someone who is gracious and respectful. We are not to
pass judgement. We are called to gently correct. God is reaching down His hand
to set things right, and that hand is tapping you on the shoulder to be His
hands and feet. Will you listen and act?
