Third World

 

Do what you do best?

When one escapes from a third world country, one can suffer culture shock and find it difficult to adjust. When one is accustomed to lawlessness, it can be difficult to adapt to a society guided by the rule of law. When one has lived without freedom, reacting to almost unlimited freedom can be challenging. When graft, corruption, and fraud is part and parcel of your life, assimilating into a society that values truth, justice, and hospitality can shake one to his core, unless, of course, you can utilize those skills to your advantage. Especially if your religion frowns upon the very principles that hold western society together and grants license to cheat, lie, and steal when dealing with unbelievers.

Far too many Muslims practice a perverted form of Islam, known as Islamism. Islamism exhorts its followers on a path of radical militancy. Islamism admonishes Muslims to forcibly “convert” non-believers and permits violence if they refuse. US foreign policy that attempted to impose western democracy on theocratic Middle Eastern Islamic societies failed miserably. Democracy is antithetical to Islam. In Islam theocracies religious leaders control government, institute religious law, and lead their armies. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of association that we take for granted are prohibited.

It is no surprise when Muslims refuse to assimilate into a culture that offers freedoms that are foreign and conflict with the tenets of the religion they practice. In other words, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink, especially if their Imam preaches that they should refuse to do so. This parallels liberals that flee democrat, poorly governed cities and states that enact policies that are detrimental to them. While they seek refuge in Republican, well governed states, they often continue to foolishly vote for democrats in their new homes.

Somali Muslims in Minnesota and other states stand accused of running fraud schemes that could result in tens of $Billions of taxpayer funds lost. Quran 3:54 - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." “The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which means 'cunning,' 'guile' and 'deceit'. If Allah is supremely deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same.” From Thereligionofpeace.com. Islam permits or encourages followers to engage in deception as a means to defeat the enemy, or non-believers. Islam is simply a false religion. There is no other way to justify a religion that promotes that type of behavior toward your fellow man.

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6. Christians are called to bring the lost to Christ in the Great Commission. Lying, cheating, and stealing is prohibited. Violence is abhorrent to our God and Creator. God is a God of love, not hate. Because of the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we want others to come to Christ in order to receive the joy of salvation that we are so grateful for. We do not hate or disparage non-believers; we are especially called to not to judge those who are lost. There is no call to punish unbelievers on this side of eternity. God wants every single one of His children to come to Him of their own volition. But those who choose to reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will have no place in His kingdom. It is the choice of the individual to believe or not.

Has the will of God been perverted by His church? Absolutely! It continues to this day. But the tenets of faith, as attested in the Bible, are clear, convincing, and most importantly, true. God’s will is perfect. Man’s religion is not. Obedience brings us closer to Him. Islam requires obedience and imposes earthly consequences on those who fail to obey. God sent His only Son to take upon all our sins, suffer the fate that we deserved, and rose from the dead, ensuring all believers a path to salvation. Salvation is gained by faith alone. God’s word is Scripture alone.

Every day democrats raise the alarm that Christianity and conservative values are an existential threat to our democracy! The true threat to democracy is tacitly supporting the institution of Muslim authority. DNI Tulsi Gabbard recently decried the growing influence of Islam in several cities, including in Paterson, New Jersey. This prompted Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) to accuse Gabbard of Islamophobia and to defend the Muslim residents of that city. Too bad he could not get so fired up over the antisemitic and anti-Christian rhetoric emanating from he and his party. Paterson has seen a large uptick in crimes against persons. Paterson, NJ has crime rates higher than 93.4% of other cities in the US. Their Muslim mayor declared Paterson the capital of Palestine during Ramadan this year. Perhaps Senator Booker should be more concerned about confronting crime in his state.

We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves. That command carries great weight and responsibility. Islam is not another path to salvation. Islam views Jesus Christ as a prophet, not the Son of God and does not recognize His resurrection. Without Jesus, followers of Islam will not receive salvation. In our interactions, led by Christian love, we must realize that fact. As with any non-believer, we must reach out in Christian love until all have heard. Partnering with the Islamic faith should be undertaken with the realization that they are as lost as unbelievers. Plant the seeds of faith. Do not be afraid to proclaim Jesus as Lord and Savior. God wants all His children to dwell with Him through eternity. Treating Islam as another valid path to God only puts your neighbor at odds with Him.

Jesus said, “Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son, so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.” John 5:22-27

 

 

Words

 

Fever pitched rhetoric has consequences.

Enough already! Just because I disagree with your politics or you disagree with mine makes neither of us evil. We are all merely pawns that the proletariat uses to accomplish their ends. As we point fingers at one another, leftist activists, politicians, and journalists that continually provoke both sides are laughing all the way to the bank. When we engage in hateful rhetoric with our neighbors, evil secures and maintains its’ power. As we fight amongst ourselves, evil actions are kept hidden in darkness, allowing the purveyors of evil to prosper. Hate is a tool that the father of lies uses to sow division and strife, poisoning our very souls.

A house divided cannot stand. If this nation continues on its current trajectory, another civil war is not out of the question. The hatred sown, almost exclusively from the left, is tearing the fabric of society apart. Friends and family discussing politics often evoke a knock-down, drag-out argument that can end in relationships forever fractured. Some on the left even refuse to interact with family members that are conservative. How ridiculous is that?

For all you on the left that have never even bothered to watch any of his interactions or events, Charlie Kirk was not evil or a nazi. Charlie Kirk preached the love of Jesus Christ and that you should use your intellect to think logically for yourself. There was no hatred. There was no homophobia or transphobia. He spoke the truth and offered an invitation to all viewpoints to engage in productive and respectful dialogue. And for that he was murdered. Those who celebrate his death are overcome by the evil one.

For all of you on the left, guns do not kill anyone, only those who use them to commit violent acts. Black on black gun crime has skyrocketed, yet in the increasingly rare occurrence when police shoot a black man, newscasters report it as if it is an epidemic. Police kill whites at 3 times the numbers of blacks, so the argument that blacks are unfairly targeted lacks merit based upon the facts.

For all of you on the left, the criminal justice system in the United States has so many checks and balances that protect criminal’s constitutional right from unjust convictions, that an only an estimated 1-5% of all incarcerated criminals have been unjustly convicted. That means that 95-99% of individuals, no matter their skin color, have been justly convicted and sentenced appropriately. So, those persons of color in prison have earned their just rewards, rendering the argument that persons of color are unjustly and disproportionally incarcerated, moot.

For all of you on the left, government is not the answer, it is the problem. Welfare has imprisoned generations of minorities, trapping them on the plantation of entitlements, eliminating God and fathers from the family unit. Healthcare costs have been inflated by penny on the dollar reimbursements by Medicare and Medicaid, causing providers to increase costs to private insurance companies to make up the difference. Obamacare provides subsidies directly to the insurance companies and not to the insured. That disastrous strategy will do nothing but drive up premiums! Public education continues to fail our children as legislators throw ever more taxpayer dollars at it to “fix” it. Over 80% of school budgets go to teacher’s salaries and benefits, so it is obviously not just about the children. This wasteful spending drives up property taxes, pricing potential home buyers out of the market and forcing homeowners, especially retirees, to forsake home ownership. In plain terms, when government intervenes, government fails miserably. Winners and losers should succeed or fail based upon merit.

For all of you on the left, perhaps it is finally time to follow the science. Biology determines that there are but two genders, male and female. Men cannot ever become fully functioning women and women can never become men, no matter how much they want it to be so. Gender dysphoria morphed practically overnight from a mental disease into a condition in need of “gender affirming care.” Any doctor performing any gender altering care to minors should be charged with malpractice and banned from the medical profession. “Transgender” adults, if you can reconcile your “life” choice with God, more power to you. Loving your neighbor does not require others to affirm poor decision makers within their fantasies.

The left is a clear and present danger to this nation. Democrats have hitched their wagons with the insanity that is the left. The left is doing the devil’s work, dividing and conquering this one nation, under God. The invective arising from leftist democrats is constant and deafening. The rhetoric masks their true intentions; They have nothing to better the lives of the American people other than casting aspersions at their “opposition” party and its leader, Donald Trump. Allowing democrats, in their current form, to have any power in the decision making in Congress, State, or local government, will be to the detriment of our Constitutional Republic.

We, the people, have far more in common than the difference in our politics. We are all unconditionally loved by our Father in heaven, despite our shortcomings. For all the differences that seem to take precedence in our worldly lives, it is our spiritual lives that matter most. While it may seem difficult at times to love our neighbors as ourselves, without it our world will continue spiraling out of control. Hatred is easy, love takes a conscious and concerted effort. If we loved one another as much as Christ loved us, wars would end, families would unite, and communities would thrive. Placing God first in our lives is the greatest commandment, loving our neighbors as ourselves is the second. Embracing those two commands along with recognizing, confronting, and rejecting evil, is the recipe to heal our broken nation.

“Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40

“You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.” 1 John 4:4-6

Resistance

 

Is encouraged in democrat run cities and states.

As a Star Trek aficionado, I watched as the crew of the Enterprise fought against the Borg, a species that forcefully assimilated other cultures into their own humanoid/machine hybrid species. “We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.” Overpowering force and technology made the Borg virtually invulnerable. While the Borg forcibly assimilated, America has welcomed many people from different cultures to add value to our community. Most immigrants have done just that.

As this nation grew in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries, immigrants were necessary to fuel the engine that was America. Immigrants entered through Ellis Island in New York, where they were processed, issued identification, had to demonstrate financial stability, pass a criminal history test, and were vetted for any infectious diseases. Those immigrants that passed admission tended to reside together in close knit communities, maintaining many of their customs. Those immigrants also felt a strong bond with their adopted country and made it imperative that they learn, speak, and write in the native language, English.

Fast forward to today and many of these “new breed” of immigrants have no desire to assimilate into American culture and society. Bi-lingualism has eliminated any incentive for Spanish-speaking immigrants to learn English. Enclaves of immigrants, particularly the Muslim community, refuse to speak English and are hostile to outsiders. These “outsiders” are the citizens of the nation that welcomed them in the first place! Democrat run cities and states acquiesce to these groups, allowing them to create their own government within their community that rejects the rule of law and replaces it with Sharia law.

Corrupt Somali Muslims in Minnesota and other states stand accused of running elaborate welfare and covid funding fraud schemes, with losses that reach into the $Billions. Over 80% of Somali immigrants collect some form of welfare, even after ten years of residency in the US. Some of that money is sent back to Somalia, accounting for over 10% of Somalia’s annual budget. More of those funds are redirected to Al-Shabaab, a Somali terrorist organization, making the Minnesota taxpayer their single largest funding source. Immigrants that cheat, lie, and steal from their benefactors forfeit any right to live in a civilized society.

Immigration law requires all immigrants to lawfully enter through a port of entry, comply with US immigration laws, follow all procedures necessary to apply for a visa, have the ability to be lawfully employed, and are not eligible for welfare benefits. Today, you can throw those rules out the nearest window. On the very day Joe Biden took office in 2021, the floodgates were opened and millions of illegal immigrants began to flood into the nation from our southern border. Over the next four years immigration officers were overwhelmed by the onslaught of 5-10000 illegal immigrants daily. Immigration officers became babysitters and paper pushers, processing the illegal immigrants that were then transported throughout our nation without proper vetting or identification. Tens of thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children remain unaccounted for to this day. This was an intentional and deliberate act on the part of the Biden administration.

The left acts with deference to any “oppressed” or “victim” class. All immigrants, that are not white, are considered “protected” classes. Assimilation is tacitly discouraged by democrat leaders. Immigrants have no incentive, whatsoever, to become part of the American community. Anyone asserting that immigrants should assimilate is met with derision from the left with accusations of racism and white supremacy. That is likely why Tim Walz’s administration in Minnesota ignored the corruption in the Somali Muslim community even after numerous whistleblowers brought the fraud to light. Better to be politically correct than confront criminality, I guess. So, in response, Walz now wants to invite even more Somalis to Minnesota. Good luck with that!

The Quran views non-believers as infidels, and if infidels fail to convert, all bets are off. Apparently, Islam teaches that non-believers are, somehow, less than human and are to be despised. Jesus said the second most important commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. Apparently, the Quran disagrees. Those who would pervert the freedoms afforded in this society and use them against the very people who welcome them, are ingrates, unworthy of the privilege of living in America. Those who support them are simply useful idiots. The true motives of Islamists have never been more apparent and they must be rejected.

Quran 9:14 "Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people." “Humiliating and hurting non-believers not only has the blessing of Allah, but it is ordered as a means of carrying out his punishment and even "heals" the hearts of Muslims.” From TheReligionofPeace.com

Islamism has no place in the western world. American values conflict with the tenets of Islam. Christian values conflict with Islam. Islamic theology devalues anyone who is a non-believer. Islam should and must be rejected. But those trapped within Islam are still our neighbors, beguiled by a false religion. They are lost without Jesus Christ. We are called to plant the seeds of faith, by our actions and words so that the Holy Spirit can nurture those seeds and lead them to God. We can reject Islamism without rejecting those who practice Islam. While they are not yet our brothers and sisters, they are our neighbors, lost without Jesus.

We cannot, of our own volition, bring the lost to Him. But with our actions we can set examples for the lost to see. We do not, by exercising our imperfect earthly tolerance and acceptance, acquiesce that those lost in false religions as our brothers and sisters. Those who do not belong to the fellowship of believers remain our neighbors, who we are to love as ourselves. We should not engage in futile arguments. When our neighbors are being led astray, we need to gently instruct with Christian love. Customs antithetical to societal values must be rejected. Assimilation is necessary to become a part of the community. Adherence to societal norms may be what is necessary to start immigrants on a path that leads to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

“In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity, and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.” Titus 2:7-8

Empty

 

Democrats got nothing!

As we ramp up toward the mid-terms, democrats are finding it difficult to articulate alternatives to the Trump administration’s solutions for the American people. What has become increasingly obvious is that the democrats offer no solutions, unless fighting tooth and nail against any and all policy decisions by Trump is a solution.

Democrats support;

·         Murdering the unborn,

·         Illegal alien criminals,

·         Open borders,

·         The LGTBQ+ community,

·         Men in women’s sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms,

·         Transgender surgeries for minors without parental consent,

·         Narco-terrorists,

·         Censorship of viewpoints opposed to their ideas,

·         Unaccountable elections,

·         Racial gerrymandering,

·         Wokeness,

·         Leftist ideology,

·         Diversity, equity, and inclusion,

·         Human caused climate change,

·         Hatred of conservatism and Christianity.

Democrats oppose;

·         Voter ID,

·         Fossil fuels, without a practical alternative,

·         1^st Amendment,

·         2^nd Amendment,

·         A color-blind society,

·         Equality of opportunity,

·         The rule of law,

·         The military,

·         Law enforcement,

·         Incarceration of criminals,

·         Every Republican policy initiative,

·         President Donald J. Trump,

·         American citizens,

·         The nuclear family,

·         Normalcy.

Get the picture?

So, what do democrats bring to the table that could be of benefit to the people that elected them as their representatives? Their policies recklessly spend taxpayer dollars. They berate and villainize Trump ceaselessly. They enrich themselves and their families at taxpayer expense. Democrats have decided that demeaning those who strive for a return to normalcy after four years of all things woke is the strategy for regaining power. The party of “NO!” continues to convey rhetoric and support policy that divides along political ideology, race, and gender. Democrats apparently do not believe that the Declaration of Independence and Constitution affirm our inalienable, God given rights.

Once past the propaganda that the legacy media, academia, and the democrat party spew, their message is clear; the democrat party agenda seeks to fundamentally transform a society built upon Judeo-Christian values that has endured and enriched millions, into a socialistic nation. Freedoms once protected by this nation will be granted via government edict. An economy that offers opportunity to all will no longer reward the hardest working, most innovative, and most successful. Government will no longer serve the people, it will rule the people, controlling the means of production and consumption.

In short, democrats will burn this nation down so they can rule over the ashes. It is all about wealth, power, and status. As long as they can tell you what to do, it matters not what the state of the nation is. The democrat party has thrown in with the evil one. Their party platform reeks of things of this world and deny our Lord and Savior. If democrats continue on their current path and regain power, our nation will be lost. If they refuse to return to God, they must be rejected and voted out of office.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill

“A claim for equality of material position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers.” Friedrich Hayek.

“Hayek warned that attempts to enforce material equality inevitably lead to tyranny. In his view, governments cannot redistribute wealth without undermining liberty, because doing so requires coercion and control. This quote reflects his broader thesis in The Road to Serfdom, where he argued that socialism’s promises lead down a dangerous path to authoritarianism. For Hayek, freedom and prosperity could only flourish in competitive markets.” Excerpted from Exploring Socialism.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the democrat party is hell-bent to fundamentally transform this nation into their idea of a socialist utopia. If they ever gain power again, it will become our worst nightmare, one that just may become a reality that ultimately destroys this nation.

 

 

Exposed

 

How government waste and fraud enrich the democrat party.

Elon Musk and DOGE exposed massive waste and fraud in USAID. Ever wonder why the democrats screamed so loudly opposing DOGE and in turn, villainized Musk and by proxy, the most successful American electric car company, Tesla? The democrat machine has made fraud and corruption the hallmark of their success. Politicians have enriched themselves, financially and gained power and status through their positions in government. Each and every time a politician promises to make your life better, they devise ways to benefit themselves, their family, and their friends. You are merely pawns whose vote allows them to continue cheating the very people they are to represent. Politicians lie, repeatedly, but the democrats have perfected the art.

·         Taxpayer dollars funding programs from the now defunct USAID were transferred to non-governmental agencies (NGO’s) with little to no oversight once those funds were distributed. In turn, those NGO’s donated money to the democrat National Committee (DNC) and democrat candidates, with which they can enrich themselves and their families on your dime. Without their favorite money laundering entity, USAID, it is much more difficult for the democrat party to raise funds. The European Union (EU) has increased their funding to many of the corrupt NGO’s, but there certainly is a shortfall for the democrats. They will continue to maintain a flow of cash from other government assistance programs, through welfare fraud, fictitious social security recipients, and fraudulent SNAP beneficiaries.

·         Which brings us to the next democrat scam. Many of those non-existent government assistance collectors are also likely on the voter rolls of democrat run states. Do you really think there are that many democrat voters that are in-line with leftism? Hard to maintain your power if, suddenly, tens of thousands of democrat votes are eliminated. Why are ALL of the democrat run states refusing to turn over SNAP data to the federal government that would assist in rooting out fraud? The fraud in “repurposed” taxpayer funds is bad enough without democrat candidates being elected to office by non-existent voters, allowing them to keep the gravy train rolling.

·         And so how else do democrats game the system to their benefit? $Billions are allocated to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, Ukraine, to fight a proxy war against Russia. Yes, Russia invaded Ukraine, but that has not slowed the democrat machine in taking advantage of your hard-earned money. Once the funds are allocated, oversight ends. You heard that right. We have no idea where the money went once it entered Ukraine’s accounts. Ukraine, (perhaps at the behest of democrat leadership?) “invests” funds into FTX, a crypto-currency fund run by Sam Bankman-Fried, currently in federal prison on a fraud conviction. In the scheme, FTX “donates” $Millions to the DNC, democrat causes, and candidates. Congress continues to allocate funds to Ukraine. Quite the vicious circle. Now do you understand why the democrats continue to call to continue funding this never-ending foreign war?

Corruption is ingrained into the system that is the swamp of Washington DC. Career politicians, on both sides of the aisle, have concocted a fine-tuned operation, where elected officials thrive. Follow the money trail. Elected “representatives” have increased their net worth, often by $Millions, or in the case of investment “savant” Nancy Pelosi, by hundreds of $Millions. These corrupt politicians do not warrant the trust we imbue our representatives. It is our responsibility as citizens to be an informed electorate. If your representative is acquiring wealth when he/she should be sacrificing for this nation, it is time that they no longer “serve.” If your representative does not reflect your, or your community’s values, it is time for them to return to the private sector. If your representative believes that they rule, rather than serve, it is time to vote them out of office.

“We will vote for the country we want; we will vote for the future we want; we will vote for the politics we want; and we will vote to put this corrupt government cartel out of business and out of business immediately.”  Donald Trump

Do you understand now why “Trump Derangement Syndrome” infects every waking hour of the democrat party hivemind?

Deceitful

 

The left seeks to destroy.

Once upon a time in this great experiment known as the United States, a more perfect union was formed. Thirteen States declared their independence from England, fought, won the Revolutionary War, and achieved their independence from England. Free at last from the bonds of monarchy, the founding fathers formed a new nation, with a new form of government, by, for, and of the people, a Constitutional Republic. Citizens would vote to elect their representatives in Congress, a President, and Vice-President. Each State also organized to govern each State’s affairs. Federal government was limited, but Federal statutes did take precedence over State and local laws.

This balancing act worked well until 1861, when a group of southern states decided that they were no longer bound by federal law. And so, the Civil War began, not exclusively about slavery, but begun by seditionists that wished to secede from the Union. A bloody war ensued, sometimes pitting brother against brother, completely unnecessary if all sides had adhered to the rule of law. Today, we have our own group of seditionists, also known as the democrat party. When a party is in the minority, they were intended to act as the loyal opposition. Today democrats have instead become a party of neo-confederates, attacking the rule of law.

Democrat run cities and states now proclaim their intention to ignore Federal law. Democrat leaders in those jurisdictions declare that Federal law enforcement can and will be subject to arrest by local law enforcement. Yes, they are actually threatening an armed stand-off, cop vs. cop. Will the first shots fired be tantamount to the first shots fired by confederate troops at Fort Sumter? It is indeed unfortunate that democrats, in their zeal to regain power, have thrown caution to the wind. Six democrat members of Congress, former military or intelligence officers, produced a video exhorting armed forces members to question authority in a misguided effort to undermine the commander in chief. This is nothing short of treason and those democrats should be prosecuted severely.

We are reaching a tipping point in the political discourse in this nation. It is one thing when criminals violate the laws but is another thing entirely when our elected leaders do the same, believing their positions of authority will shield them from accountability. Crime is rampant in many democrat run cities. When criminals are arrested, soft on crime District Attorneys often refuse to prosecute, releasing them to reoffend. Under the guise of the perceived racial disparity in prison population, democrat run cities are reluctant to incarcerate persons of color. Even though persons of color remain a minority population, they commit a majority of crimes.

Actions of the democrat leadership threaten the very foundations of this great nation. Outright lies to hinder the administration from conducting the people’s business to ingratiate themselves with their radical left base is unconscionable. As more of the democrat party’s corruption is uncovered, perhaps those who have long supported democrats will take a long hard look to see if the current crop of democrats represents their values. There is good reason that democrats fight so hard against streamlining government and rooting out corruption. They most benefit from the ill-begotten gains that a lack of accountability and oversight renders.

“Do not participate in the things these people do.  For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!  For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.  Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.” Ephesians 5:7-11

We must do our best to expose the evil that is overcoming this world. Democrat leaders are resolved to align with the left. The left is antithetical to God’s will. The left is opposed to our very way of life. The left wages war against our God and His people. Our leaders need to return to God. The only way to compel those in power to amend the error of their ways is to expose them to the light of day. Those that refuse to change must be voted out of office or they will continue in their evil ways. We are to shine the light of God to be a light to the world. The evil from the left will thrive if left to hide in the dark.

No longer can we stand by idly. No longer can we be quiet Christians. No longer can we wait for someone else to speak out. No longer can we go along to get along. If you wait for pastors to preach it from the pulpit, you may wait forever. The very souls of those influenced by the evil one are at risk. We must call out those who are content to gain wealth and power from their denial of God. If they are not called out, they will continue to travel the wide path to their destruction, and our nation will follow in their wake. The time is now.

Blissfully Unaware

 

“Peaceful” Islam is exploiting our tolerance to conquer us.

Tactics used by conquerors varied with the times and situation at hand. Overwhelming force could be used to destroy an enemy's will to fight. A siege would cause kingdoms to exhaust resources until they had no choice but to surrender. Spies were employed to infiltrate the enemy’s populace to collect intelligence or cause havoc. Radical extremists of the 60’s abandoned their strategy of committing violence to affect change in society by pivoting to infiltrating academia, politics, and the media. Democratic socialists appeal to those on the lower rungs of society with promises to take from the rich and give to them, with the goal of replacing our Constitutional Republic with socialism.

Many Muslims refuse to integrate and assimilate into western society. They form enclaves where it is not necessary to change their customs. The Muslim community in Dearborn, Michigan and Somali Muslims in Minneapolis, Minnesota are prime examples. The Somali community has conspired to commit welfare fraud on an extreme level, bilking taxpayers $Millions that are remitted back to Somalia and used to fund terrorist organizations. In Dearborn, Muslims hold a majority on the city council and are imposing their will upon the city. The lack of respect shown to non-Muslim residents is stunning. See this video. Dearborn City Council. Islamism is incompatible with western society, and “so-called” moderate Muslims are becoming increasingly rare.

Radical Islam, or Islamism, is a clear and present threat to western society. Not only are radical Islam purveyors, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, responsible for atrocities worldwide, they despise western society. By enlisting a plan to conquer the west from within and by exploiting our freedoms, they plot to embed themselves into political power. With that power, they will control the authority to enable them to destroy the very nation that welcomed them. On November 19^th, 2025, the Institute for the study of Global Antisemitism and Policy published a report on Muslim Brotherhood’s Strategic Entryism into North America. This report highlights radical Islam’s strategy to conquer the west without the necessity of an armed war.

It is time that any Muslim espousing radical Islam that is not naturalized, be deported. Any visas should be revoked, and deportation proceedings should begin. When Muslims use the freedoms that this nation affords to conspire to overthrow our nation, they are not welcome here. This is not some form of Islamophobia; it is simply the truth. Those visitors to the United States who despise the freedom that all Americans enjoy, should be deported. While western society is far from perfect, instituting Sharia law, which is the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal, should be fought against, by every American that values our way of life.

Women are subjugated and treated as property in many Islamic countries. Homosexuality is punishable by death. Violations of any number of Islamic laws necessitate unjust punishments, often carried out without any due process. We should never want to return to a darker time that radical Islam promotes. Boku Haram, a radical Islamic group from Africa is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Christians on that continent and continue with their genocide in Nigeria. To them, jihad against Christianity and any religion other than Islam, is fair game to kill and destroy. Islam, as it is preached today, is corrupted by radical clerics that promote intolerance and hate. Is this what the tolerant in our society strive for and support?

Civil

 

Are we in the death throes of our Republic?

This nation has never been more divided than it is today, perhaps save for the Civil War. Are we on the cusp of another inner conflict, pitting the left versus normality? Joe Rogan thinks that we, as a nation, are at #7 of 9 necessary steps for this Republic to go down in flames. Glenn Beck makes the following argument. The video is a little over 14 minutes, but is a must see.

Hospitality

 

Kindness is repaid with malicious recompense.

“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.” Romans 12:2, 13.

These verses are the rallying cry of many progressive churches that support and facilitate unfettered illegal immigration by welcoming all who “claim” refugee status. But, when hospitality is offered and accepted, respect must be given to the host. Failing to do so delegitimizes those imposing on their benefactors. Far too many of those welcomed into our nation pay back the hospitality with criminal actions. Instead of assimilating into their adopted homeland, they show contempt for the freedoms available to them. Rather than adding to our diversity and making a positive contribution to society, they are content to be a drain on our nation’s resources. Immigration without assimilation is tantamount to an invasion.

“They will devour your harvest and food; they will consume your sons and daughters; they will eat up your flocks and herds; they will feed on your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust.” Jeremiah 15:17

Those who advocate for those who take advantage of a nation’s good will are far from that which God expects. Those organizations that tout their tolerance, welcoming, and diversity as showing the love of Christ are completely misinterpreting Scripture. God’s love is perfect. Man’s love is far from it. The law of unintended consequences, or perhaps intended, impacts our imperfect love. Citing individual lines of Scripture, to fulfill human desires, without the context necessary to properly interpret God’s intent, is a recipe for disaster. Scripture must be the basis to guide our actions, and not as a justification of our actions. Follow God’s word, submit to His will, walk in obedience, and your path will be set straight.

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Some immigrants, in particular some Muslims, are exploiting the western world’s hospitality to enable their plan to overcome the majority and convert society to an Islamic state. Islam is a false religion that rejects the deity of Christ and should be rejected, not embraced as another path to salvation. It is not a religion of peace, it advocates for its followers to commit acts of violence against unbelievers, or infidels. Our tolerance is used by Islamists to trample upon the Judeo-Christian values that we have relied upon for centuries to establish and maintain an effective and productive society. 

When immigrants bite the hand that feeds them, it just may be time to shake the dust off our sandals and reject the premise of affording compassion. If they reject the customs and practices of their host nation, instead trying to impose their belief system, they pervert any privilege due them. Unfortunately, Muslims are not alone as we have witnessed rioting from illegal immigrants waving flags of the very countries they fled. All the while, our fellow citizens on the left encourage lawlessness with continuous anti-American rhetoric.

“Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.  Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.” Romans 13:1-2

Muslims are using our own compassion and desire to love our neighbors as a tool to defeat Christianity. Yet, some of our churches are the most naïve and are exploited by the very people they hope to help. As followers of Christ, we are also taught to turn the other cheek, but that does not require us to be led like a lamb to slaughter. But that is what our brothers and sisters are accomplishing, whether it is their intent or not. If we stand by and allow Muslims to attain a majority, they will be successful in their plan to fundamentally transform America and the west.

“It’s a sophisticated fusion of religion, politics and identity," said Mansour Al-Hadj, a Washington-based researcher on Muslim political movements and extremism. "The same networks that once focused on community services are now mobilizing voters and producing candidates. This is how political Islam adapts inside democracy." Fox News report.

Those that use the freedoms afforded those who live in the US to the detriment of the majority have no place in an open society. Those who would destroy us have made their intentions plain, yet those who are squarely in the crosshairs cannot see, nor understand the implications. Many diminish the risk that unfettered immigration of Muslims will supersede current geo-political mores, but a Muslim majority can and will shift the politics and religious freedoms currently enjoyed by western nations. Those coexist bumper stickers are antithetic to Islam. Islam seeks to overwhelm and replace religious freedom and institute an Islamic state. History has shown as much as former Christian nations such as Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and more became Muslim nations once conquered. Today, no weapons will be necessary to conquer this nation. Our tolerance and acceptance will become our undoing.

On Tuesday, useful idiots in New York are likely to elect an avowed radical communist Muslim as mayor of that city on a shining hill. His intentions are exposed by the light of day, yet he is expected to prevail, nonetheless. Somali Muslims have taken over a portion of Minneapolis and speak of instituting Sharia law, with the blessing of some of their city and state leaders. Dearborn, Michigan is predominantly Muslim and has seen a marked increase in criminality. This is our future if we are content to stand idly by. Any immigrant residing in this nation that espouses evil intent should have their immigration status revoked immediately and deported. Yes, we are a nation of immigrants that should welcome refugees with open arms. But only those who want to be here and contribute to society should be extended that hospitality, not those who would destroy us from within.

Immigration without assimilation is tantamount to an invasion.

Privilege

 

Taking care of their own.

Don’t you know who I am? I have powerful friends! These and other phrases illustrate that there are those who believe themselves to be above the law. Unfortunately, that does appear to be the case, especially for our democrat “friends.” The deep state is profoundly corrupt, much more than we can possibly fathom. The Potomac two-step is a little dance mastered by those in elective office. You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. There are many skeletons in many closets that act as a hedge against indictment. If I go down, so will others. Prosecution seldom occurs, except in the most extreme cases when someone must take the fall. There certainly does appear to be a separate tier of justice, reserved to “protect” our public servants.

Mainstream media, or what is often referred to as the “Fourth Estate,” has become a haven for leftist propagandists. Media ignore their responsibility to hold the powerful accountable as democrat corruption is ignored or minimized while even the slightest hint of impropriety by Republicans is amplified. President Trump is indicted and convicted of 34 felonies with a novel approach as a Manhattan DA prosecutes federal campaign finance violation. This same DA campaigned on a promise to “get” Trump, yet the media trumpets democrat talking points about the “convictions.” Biden administration bureaucrats are indicted after they lied under oath to Congress and the media accuses Trump of retribution and targeting his enemies. Evidently media orthodoxy requires ignoring democrat corruption and malfeasance. Holding the left accountable is antithetical to their standard operating procedure.

President Trump is convicted of mortgage fraud after he “overinflated” the value of his Palm Beach, Florida Mar a Lago property to receive more favorable loan rates. He is fined almost ½ Billion dollars. New York Attorney General Leticia (don’t throw rocks if you live in a glass house) James is indicted for mortgage fraud when she misrepresents her interests to receive a more favorable loan rate, and democrats and mainstream media calls foul again. James also campaigned with a promise to get Trump. Please disregard the man behind the curtain, nothing to see here. Without fear nor favor. Not so much! Lady Justice is far from blind when democrats are in charge of the scales.

Many representatives, particularly at the Federal level, use their positions to enrich themselves and their families with US taxpayer dollars. Public servants prioritize serving their own self-interests. For too long malfeasance has been swept under the rug by the DOJ. Private citizens that commit the same offenses are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  Elected officials skate, with the media often either refusing to report or minimizing the wrongdoing. It is time that those who lie under oath, those who practice lawfare in targeting their opponents, and those who are found with their hand in the cookie jar are prosecuted. No one is above the law and everyone who breaks the law should face the same consequences for their actions, regardless of stature.

Those deep staters that believe that their position shields them from prosecution need to understand that they should be held to a higher standard. These self-important representatives and bureaucrats need to be made examples of. Future leaders will take heed and walk the straight and narrow, so that the trust granted to them will be honored and respected. Democrats lead the field by a wide margin in committing fraud against the very people they are charged to represent.

As the democrat party continues their foray into radical leftist ideology, more of their intentions are being exposed in the light of day. The unmitigated gall is on full display as democrat leaders brazenly conspire against law enforcement by encouraging people to actively resist lawful actions. This has led to doxing of ICE agents, armed citizens attacking police, and heated confrontations obstructing officers performing their duties. These democrat leaders are inciting violent insurrection against the very government they have sworn an oath to defend and to support. Yet, there are no consequences for their unlawful behavior. When and if prosecution is finally initiated, it will be long past due.

“Don't be corrupt when administering justice. Never give special favors to poor people, and never show preference to important people. Judge your neighbor fairly.” Leviticus 19:15

The time has come when justice shall be served. Those who have been trusted to work for the people and have abused their authority need to be held to account. It will not be revenge or retribution, rather it will be a reckoning. Those who have witnessed malfeasance need to come clean to the DOJ, to save their skins or risk substantial jail time as a co-conspirator.

“Justice executed is a joy to the righteous, but a terror to the workers of iniquity.” Proverbs 21:15

 

Mimic

 

Hear evil, repeat that evil, then act out with evil intent.

If you tell a lie often enough, some people will believe it, particularly weak-minded individuals. Leaders have a responsibility to be judicious with their words. Words spoken by leaders can carry great weight, as people trust that their leaders work for the betterment of all. Leaders must be first to condemn violence and to be the “cooler heads that prevail” in lowering the temperature. Leaders cannot be the inciters of violence by rhetoric that vilifies those of differing opinions. Yet, that is the modus operandi of the democrat party. The uptick in violence by the left is a direct result of unhinged democrat’s rants that are unduly influencing those who would commit acts of violence to “save democracy from tyrants.” Words may not be violence, but rhetoric that incites violence can be just as dangerous as wielding a firearm.

Satan has manifested himself in leftism and in the leadership of the democrat party. The willing pawns that conduct the actual violence are simply following the marching orders of their democrat leaders. Funding that enables these anarchists are funneled through a never-ending list of NGOs and non-profit organizations, using funding obtained through government grants and leftist philanthropists. Yes, US tax dollars are diverted from funding intended to be allocated to domestic and foreign programs. We are funding the very people intent on destroying this nation, when all the while democrat leaders act as their cheerleaders.

The father of lies shapes the very platform of the democrat party as they advocate the murder of the unborn, promote the mutilation of gender confused children, support lawless District Attorneys, encourage violence against law enforcement, deny God, and oppose the nuclear family.  

“You are guilty of lying, violence, and murder. You go to court, but you do not have justice on your side. You depend on lies to win your case. You carry out your plans to hurt others. You are always planning something evil, and you can hardly wait to do it. You never hesitate to murder innocent people. You leave ruin and destruction wherever you go, and no one is safe when you are around. Everything you do is unjust. You follow a crooked path, and no one who walks that path will ever be safe.” Isaiah 59:3-4, 7-8

There are many verses in the Bible warning us of the very behaviors that the left engages in and the democrat party tacitly supports, yet there are those who believe and teach that the Bible is outdated and not pertinent today. When the democrat party chose to fall in league with Satan, they sold their collective souls for power, wealth, and position. Those who choose to vote for democrats are simply useful idiots that are being used against their own self-interests.

Leftists and those who gravitate to and align themselves with leftist ideology have one thing in common; Rage and hatred toward those perceived to be oppressors, which include pretty much every normal person in this nation. When one displays negative emotions, it opens an avenue for Satan to unduly influence that person. The father of lies loves division. He absolutely loves it when we hate, rather than love our neighbor. Once embedded into the psyche of a person influenced by negative emotions, Satan will build upon that negativity, leading that person further apart from God. The distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, will be blurred, amplifying that negativity within that person.

Evil must be resisted. Evil must be exposed for what it is. Evil must be overcome with the love of Christ. Evil is driving the left. The left must be rejected. The democrat party has adopted the tenets of the left and uses those tactics to gain and maintain their positions of authority. If the democrat party triumphs, we all lose. Democrats must never again hold power. Democrats must be voted out of office, wholesale or they will never return to God. We must shake the dirt off our sandals and expose them for what they are. Their deeds need to come into the light for all to see.

Satan has unduly influenced a generation, leading them far away from God. The hatred manifesting itself within the left has been allowed to fester and grow due to the inaction of God’s people. We have stood idly by as Satan has placed a stranglehold on our neighbors and even some of our brothers and sisters in Christ. We cannot be silent any longer! Satan depends upon good Christian’s silence to succeed in his wicked schemes. This nation was founded upon a covenant with God. The founding fathers, through prayer and righteous debate, established this Constitutional Republic as one nation, under God. There is still time to save this nation. There is still time to plant the seeds that can take root in our neighbors that have become manipulated by the evil one. There is still time to reach out in Christian love that can lead the lost back to Christ.

Jesus told His disciples in the Great Commission, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20. He was also speaking to all future generations. Will you listen and act?

 

 

 

Lost

 

Evil shapes a generation.

In the 2011 film, “the Adjustment Bureau,” Matt Damon and Emily Blunt are cast as star crossed lovers. A group of “Angels?” influence people to live their lives according to the “Plan” created by the “Chairman.” The “Plan” was to prevent the two from establishing a relationship, but unfortunately Damon discovers their intent and rebels. Spoiler alert, eventually the “Chairman” relents and alters the “Plan” so that Damon and Blunt can live happily ever after. Life is often portrayed as so simple in Hollywood movies, but at times it does loosely mirror reality. This movie is Hollywood’s attempt to show that the “Chairman” (God) has a “Plan” (which eliminates free will) that preordains the outcomes of our lives.

While everything that happens is part of the plan God has for this world, free will allows humans to deviate from God’s preferred outcome. Rest assured that everything that happens, good or bad, God uses to temper and mold His children. And we are all children of God. All are loved unconditionally by the creator of the universe, even those who commit heinous acts against their fellow brothers and sisters. No one is inherently evil, but anyone can be influenced by the evil one. God wants all His children to be saved. No matter what you do, you cannot make God love you any more, nor can you make Him love you any less than He already does.

Unfortunately, a generation has been unduly influenced by the evil one with gleeful assistance from academia, mainstream media, and, of course, all coordinated by the left as they strive to accomplish Satan’s preferred “plan.” Satan’s plan is simple, deceive and mislead. Encourage humankind to replace truth with lies. Exchange good for evil. Yet, there are those so gullible as to accept that which is undeniably false as right and good. Young people, indoctrinated by public education decry the freedoms provided by our Constitutional Republic while supporting socialism and all other manner of leftist ideology. Murdering an unborn child becomes abortion. Children are encouraged to experiment with transsexuality and homosexuality by leftist public teachers, without parental notification. See a pattern developing here?

Successfully tempting humankind to engage in sin is as simple as when the serpent deceived Eve. Become like God and make your own rules. If it feels good, do it. Sexual pleasure is the prize Satan offers to humankind to engage in and enjoy. And it has been successful beyond his wildest dreams. Homosexuality becomes normalized and celebrated. Transvestites are now drag queens and engage in story time, invited to public libraries and schools to read books to children in their full, over the top costumes. Sexual “hook ups” are promoted through dating apps to engage in “no strings attached” sexual trysts. Unwed mothers and baby mamas replace the nuclear family in the inner city. Pornography is a multi-billion-dollar industry.

God is a loving God, slow to anger and abounding in love and faithfulness. Satan thrives on anger and hatred. The left is filled with rage and hatred. Perfect pawns for the evil one. Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Palestine “Hamas” supporters, and anti-Ice are committing violence that fills Satan with delight. Despite rampant violence, democrat party leaders stoke that anger with over-the-top rhetoric directed at their political opponents with the intent to create havoc. Weak-minded individuals have and will continue to act out in violence, incited to do so by democrat leaders who apparently view this as a valid strategy to gain and/or maintain power.

The democrat party has hitched their wagon to the evil that leftism promotes. The refusal of democrats to vote for a continuing resolution to fund the government should tell you all you need to know about the objectives of that wayward party. When illegal aliens are more important than American citizens demonstrates that democrats have failed in their responsibility to represent those who voted them to represent them in Congress, State, and local government.

The only way to end this insanity is to remove from office those democrats that support this madness. The only way to return to the path God desires is to get involved and support leaders who love God. The only way to eliminate this rot from our nation is to vote democrats out of elected office. That is the only way they will relent from this recklessness and return to a semblance of normalcy.

“If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first. / It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them.” 2 Peter 2:20-22

The democrat party has left the Lord and has decided to be in league with Satan. But their rebuke of God’s will can be reversed. They can accept God’s plan and reject Satan. Unless they return to God, they must be shunned and removed from power. Perhaps then they will see the error of their ways.

These Days

 

God put us here for a purpose.

“Maybe we were made for these days.” These lyrics from a Jeremy Camp song fall short of God’s expectations for His people. Equipped with the time and talents provided to us, God did indeed put each of us in this time and in this place for His purpose. We were created to pursue justice. We were created to spread the Gospel to all the ends of the earth. We were made to take a stand against evil. We were made to worship and glorify our God by spreading the love of Jesus to all our neighbors. Yes, we were wonderfully made, specifically created for times such as these.

Evil thrives and violence spreads throughout our nation and the world. The current strategy employed that ignores the growing threat only encourages further escalation of that evil. Just as children who do not face consequences for their actions become spoiled and disobedient, today’s left pushes the boundaries of lawlessness as far as the consequences, or lack thereof, will allow. The left’s embrace of evil is metastasizing as if it were a cancer spreading throughout the human body.

Leftist ideology is attacking the most vulnerable as our children are indoctrinated with deviant sexuality. It is attacking the very fabric of this nation as the left calls for insurrection and disregard of the rule of law. It has infiltrated our churches, replacing the worship of our God with the worship of tolerance, diversity, and the things of this world. Our institutions have been polluted with antisemitism, the embrace of socialism, and hatred of opinions deemed inappropriate to their chosen wokeism tenets. There is a real danger that our nation, the last bastion of true freedom in the world, will be lost forever.

There is a great evil overtaking our nation and world. Evil thrives in an environment that allows it to grow. The silence of good people is deafening. We can no longer simply remain silent and “let someone else” confront this evil. If unchecked the left will destroy everything that is good and true. If unchecked the left will lead this nation down a path to destruction. The democrat party has not only embraced leftist ideology, but they have also doubled down on all things woke. Democrats must be voted out of office until they become an impotent minority. We must retake our schools to eliminate the indoctrination of our children. If we fail to hold the left accountable, we will have no one to blame but ourselves.

The easy way to combat this rampant evil would be to respond in kind, but we cannot repay evil with evil. Hatred only begets more hatred that is certain to entangle us within the influence of the evil one. The easy path can often be the most dangerous path. We can only mend fences and open minds through and with the love of Christ. Christ died for our sins while we were still sinners and enemies of God, including those unduly influenced by the evil one today.

We are long past due to stand strong in our faith. We were made to be God’s hands and feet on this earth. We are called to plant the seeds of faith so that the Holy Spirit can nurture and grow those seeds within those we meet and receive. Sharing the love of Christ is our greatest calling and the best way to show God our gratitude for our undeserved grace. To share the joy of salvation with the lost is our sacred duty as Jesus called for us to make disciples of all the world in the Great Commission. We need to keep singing and sharing until all have heard!

The first step in reconciliation is forgiveness. Without forgiveness, doors will remain shut and walls cannot be overcome. Without forgiveness there is no avenue to engage in constructive dialogue. Without forgiveness both sides remain at odds. Once anger, bitterness, and resentment are eliminated on one side of the equation, one can truly love one’s enemy. There is but one bond that unites all humanity and His name is Jesus Christ.

“And now, Lord, take notice of the threats they have made, and allow us, your servants, to speak your message with all boldness.” Acts 4:29

 

Community

 

Hatred thrives in on-line solitude.

Human beings need community. Civilization developed to nurture that personal connection. Prolonged solitude turns the soul inward, toward selfishness. Without discussion and debate, we villainize those with values different than our own. Our faith is what drives our very being. Our God created us with an emptiness that can only be filled with an intimate relationship with Him. Corporate worship and Bible study offers us the opportunity to grow together in the Spirit. “Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.  For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Matthew 18:19-20

The lack of face-to-face interactions, instead relying upon the anonymity of device-to-device communication, has afforded users to avoid social interaction. Hiding behind a screen allows one to denounce and attack opposing viewpoints, without actual consequence, and enables animosity to fester. News feeds, X posts, and other social media are tailored by algorithms to each user’s preferences, presenting information that supports the user’s opinions, further isolating them from differing opinions. It has become effortless to foster hate by hiding facts that prevent one from learning both sides of issues. In fact, by filtering out competing news, the full truth is silenced while one side of the argument is amplified.

Incessant rhetoric from the left has increasingly raised the temperature in our political discourse. Democrat party leaders pour gasoline on the fire of division with comments likening their political rivals to Hitler, tyrants, and accuse them of opposition to any other “oppressed” class. Political leaders that stoke division and promote hate must be rejected at the ballot box if they fail to return to God. The constant drumbeat that villainizes those with Christian and conservative values has created tribal warfare as an acceptable response to settle disagreements. There are those who have become so radicalized by hateful leftist ideology that contemplating and/or committing violence has become a viable option.

Charlie Kirk literally accepted Jesus’ call to the Great Commission, to make disciples of the world. He engaged in debate with those who hated him because of his faith and political opinion. Through his platform, Turning Point USA, he literally entered the lion’s den of leftism to respectfully preach the Gospel and truly listen to those who disagreed, while doing his best to reach out with a sincere love of his neighbor.  Charlie was able to plant seeds of faith throughout the universities in which he preached. As democrat leaders mischaracterized, no, willfully lied about Charlie and his views and speech, people believed those lies. And those lies inspired a weak-minded individual to end Charlie’s debate forever with a bullet. We cannot let an assassin’s bullet silence and end the work that Charlie engaged in as he obediently preached the Gospel with the love of Jesus in his heart.

If we fail to engage those who have been unduly influenced by the evil advocated by leftist ideology, they will be lost forever. As Christians it is our duty spread the love of Jesus by preaching the Gospel, unashamedly. “And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.  He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.  Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will. 2 Timothy 2:24-26.

We have God’s handbook to assist us in performing His will. The Bible contains all the ammunition necessary to speak His Truth. Read it daily. Learn it. Pray on it. Study it with other believers. We can no longer be meek and quiet. We can no longer stand by and let evil overtake our brothers and sisters. No matter how lost our brothers and sisters may become, God loves them unconditionally, just as he loves each of us. There is nothing we can do to make God love us any more. There is nothing that we can do to make God love us any less. We have a duty to proclaim God’s love to the world so that none are lost to the evil one. Plant the seeds that just may encourage them to return to community of faith. Be bold and courageous, armed with the Holy Spirit that dwells within all of us.

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.” Ephesians 6:11-12, 18
