I see a dichotomy in America. A large number of the people fomenting the violence are living, by nearly any historical measure, self-indulgent (but immoral) lives. Not unlike the rich of the Roman Empire at its peak. A society that, although affluent and comfortable…was rotting spiritually, morally and financially beneath. They are overfed, emotionally indulged, technologically modern, and materially rich yet spiritually dead. Most have families who love them. Underneath though is a seething rage and grievous resentment infect their minds and their actions. The violence within is spilling over and they kill with callous disregard, while their fellow citizen cheers them on — uploading videos of themselves grinning with glee or typing unthinking blurbs to social media— so confident are they that they’re right, justified, and, worse, that everyone agrees with them.
This anti-American, anti-Christian malady is not new. It is
not isolated. It is not exclusive to young, disturbed kids. It’s something
deeper and more insidious. We have a nation of rich, spoiled, aggrieved people.
Teachers — from preschool instructors to college professors — along with the
media and Democrat leadership have encouraged this wrath and inculcated young
minds with communist propaganda disguised as DEI. Some democrats have begun to
move more center because they realize some within their party have literally
gone insane and have fallen off the left edge. John Fetterman suprisingly is the first that comes to mind. The center left is still
complicit for doing nothing to stem the tide but are not the main spreaders of
the poison. The lunatics of the far-leftist organizations, including Open
Society Foundations, Tides, Ford, and the Rockefeller Foundation, as well as
funders like George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, and Reid Hoffman, have helped
shape and mold these disaffected and disgruntled people.
Antifa is now militarized, organized, and present in every
state. Black Lives Matter destroyed cities, and their founders currently live
in luxury. SSRI-confused aging hippie boomers, looking to recreate their
halcyon youth, fuel this insanity — bowing to BLM, protesting government
firings, and parading around in pink pussy hats. The whole of the Left — from
the moderate Democrat Party, which is increasingly overtly socialist, to the
militarized activist— is either insane or complicit in the insanity. Many clearly
have been diagnosed with mental disorders and are medicated.
The Biden administration did incalculable damage. The scope and breadth of it is overwhelming. Tens of thousands of children who entered the country illegally and unaccompanied did not show up for their court dates. Many were found as sex slaves and indentured servants “working off” their trip to America. Democrats were importing slaves not new voters. The illegals systematically replaced native-born Americans as the preferred form of cheap undocumented labor too.
How do you contend with or challenge the minds that believe this is acceptable? This is a spiritual problem with monstruous real-world implications because these two realms are interrelated. Furthermore, I don’t think the center Right grasps the implications of this. They too are spiritually disconnected by-and-large also. This is especially true of the leadership. Their greed and need for power have corrupted them.
1 Corinthians 2:14-15 The person without the Spirit
does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers
them foolishness and cannot understand them because they are discerned only
through the Spirit. The person with the Spirit makes judgments about
all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments,
While conservative influencers like me fight for the
Biblical worldview and a modicum of moral guidelines I risk ultimate failure
because people in power are only addressing those who share the fundamental
belief in free speech and the power of persuasive words. While I have succeeded
in winning some hearts and minds —most even on the moderate left reject a moral
and Biblical premise entirely. They believe that hurt feelings and what they
perceive as “mean words” deserve push back, sometimes physically to shut me up. If
you disagree with me, they reason, you hate me, and you deserve to be
forcefully silenced. The enemies of Western civilization are godless and
unmoored from what most would consider common morality. Accept this. Do
not pretend that the demon possessed can be reasoned with or persuaded by
words. Prayers and words to God, yes, words to them directly, no.
The enemy determines the battlefield, and many have now
resorted to using bullets. They have been implored to talk, and some have now responded
to grace with murder. To be clear, I am not seeking vigilantes or street
justice, but those will come if leaders do not take these dangerous Antifa and
far-left elements seriously. It is time to fully grasp that the America that sane
voters seek will not come through words or persuasion alone, but through
elected leadership and the power of the state to impose that vision and crush
violence. Rubber bullets are not working well. It’s just further inciting the malevolent
swarm mentally entrenched in their Marxist indoctrination.
What will happen if the sickness of progressive ideology is
allowed to advance unchecked? We don’t have to wonder. We can benchmark the
downfall on our mainline churches. One by one they’ve given way to false
doctrine of the Social Gospel and other heresies and horrific deviations from
the faith. Nearly every Protestant denomination has now been hollowed out from
within by cultural Marxism. The churches convulsed internally, and a small but
dedicated minority took them over, filled them with whiny women and social
justice warriors more concerned with people’s feelings than their salvation and
destroyed them in the name of gay marriage and women preachers.
We are fools to believe that the spiritual does not have a
profound and direct impact on the world we see around us today. The differences
and delineations between the two are now starting to blur and even merge. There
have been times in the past when the curtain has been pulled back almost fully
and we get glimpses into the unseen. What we’ve seen in these Biblical insights
is that the spiritual realm controls what we see in the physical world. The
Bible clearly states we’re not combating the physical flesh and blood but
powers and principalities. We cannot compete with this in our own power. It’s
like trying to hold back flood water with a screen door. The spiritual can only
be dealt with by the spiritual, only though God and faith in God.
Where Christianity has become naive is that they believe
persuading people toward biblical and conservative values would be enough —
that this would mean Christians in positions of authority would be willing to
use the power of the government to stop the violence of the radical Left. Unfortunately,
there are some extreme limitations to this approach. This approach has even
failed in most of our mainline churches. We need to remember that Jesus had to
first identify and then actively cast out the demons for the
bodies to heal (Matthew 8:28). We are in a ‘casting out’ phase and there
are no guarantees this will be successful. We already know that this unpleasant
cancer or parasite is so deep and so invasive that even if we are successful at removing
it, it will leave the body disfigured and weaker than it was. It needs to be
done though or all that will be left is a bloated and diseased corpse.
