“…..Pride goeth before destruction and haughty spirit before a fall….”
Proverbs 16:18
The left are preaching unity to nearly 80 million people from one side of the mouth while trying to censor those same people from the other side of the mouth. The right and left have puffed up their chest in arrogance over the last so many years feeling rightly justified in doing so. Both sides feel like they have the moral high ground. But we have to admit both sides have been equally prideful. Only destruction awaits a prideful man. I’m afraid if we don’t humble ourselves as a people we will fall and we will have no one but ourselves to blame.
I would love to see unity happen. Who wouldn’t? But unity doesn’t come from just those whom we agree with. We have to come together on the things we agree but we are destroying each other over the things we disagree on. Now, true unity can only come by and through Jesus Christ. But let’s look at our 34th President for a moment…
President Eisenhower has been one the most under appreciated, overlooked leaders this nation has ever had. In my mind one of the greatest leaders we have ever had in the Oval Office. He was always well known for being able to reach across the aisle and bring people together.
Today we must ask ourselves the question: When we go to reach out to the other side of the aisle what do we find? I think we can all see for ourselves how divided we are spiritually, morally, culturally, economically. I believe we are more divided than we were during the Civil War.
Now one could argue this on both sides depending on what side of the spectrum you side with. We can all twist words and narratives to make them fit our side or agenda. But I want you to think about something…..Politics aside (seriously)
If the information that is being censored on social media and mainstream media has no weight to it then why censor it? Unless the ones doing the censoring have something to hide?
If there is absolutely no validity to any of the information then why the rush to silence any of these voices?
As a Christian I do not spend my time trying to censor Atheists or anybody who may have an opposite viewpoint of myself. If there is no power in the Gospel message then why burn a Bible?
What somebody else believes has no bearing on what I am going to do and how I am going to live my life no matter how much I may disagree with them.
Usually people who spend their time trying to censor other people’s beliefs or opinions are in fact insecure in their own opinions and beliefs so they feel the need to shut those down they disagree with because they are afraid that somebody may in fact actually form their own opinion on a the matter. They are not secure in their own belief and it terrifies them that people might actually think for themselves. It’s an “affirm my belief/opinion or else” mentality. Disagreeing is simply not enough. You must affirm the other side or you’re a racist, neo-nazi, or whatever they want to label you. That tells me that if you need somebody to affirm your opinion or belief then there is not very much depth to what it is that you stand on.
Now I am not sitting here saying that I am advocating for ALL of the material being censored nor am I advocating against it but what I am saying is that why not let the people see all of the information and then let each individual make up their own minds on what they choose to believe whether you agree with that information or not?
Who get’s to decide what is true and what is false? Big Brother? (Read George Orwell’s 1984)
Now I know in the day and age we live in it seems to be a scary thing to let people have the freedom to choose and think for themselves. Even if you think they are wrong, it does not matter what you think about their choice, making that choice is still their God given right.
Today, if you have a different opinion or idea that goes against popular public opinion then you are censored, shamed, humiliated, mocked, torn down and finally destroyed.
What has happened to us as a people in this nation?
If I do not want to kneel for the National Anthem that is my right and personally I will continue to stand for that Anthem because of what that Anthem represents and those who have given their lives to protect the very freedoms that I am able to advocate for this platform here today.
If I choose to believe this group of doctors over another group of doctors that is my right.
If I refuse to support the organization Black Lives Matter that is my right. If you look at what their actual organization stands for, its right on their website, it goes against my values and what I stand for. The founders of the organization itself has publicly claimed to be Marxist at its core.
So what is Marxism? – the political and economic theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, later developed by their followers to form the basis for the theory and practice of communism.
So in a nutshell Black Lives Matter is a communist organization.
Communism Cold Hard Fact “Twenty-five percent of millennials who know who Vladimir Lenin was view him favorably. Lenin was the first premier of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Half of millennials have never heard of Communist Mao Zedong, who ruled China from 1949 to 1959 and was responsible for the deaths of 45 million Chinese people,” noted Williams.
In his book The Death of the West, Patrick J. Buchanan wrote:
“How does one sever a people’s roots?
Answer: Destroy its memory. Deny a people the knowledge of who they are and where they came from . . . Destroy the record of a people’s past, leave it in ignorance of who its ancestors were and what they did, and one can fill the empty vessels of their souls with a new history . . .”
I will continue to choose what I will believe regardless of whether or not Big Brother tells me what is right and what is wrong. Of course I will do my research and look at all the facts rather than just rely on the narrative of the media and my emotions.
Facts don’t care about feelings.
There is a battle that is being waged for the heart and soul of America as we speak. Our history is in danger of being severed from our memory. Our children are in danger of inheriting a new history, a new way of life, a new America.
The silent majority cannot be silent anymore. We must start taking a stand for our God given right to free speech, no matter how hateful you think it might be.
Can the Church stay silent anymore? My Bible tells me:
Matthew 22:21 Jesus said “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”
Romans 13:1 “Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities.
So I ask this question: Does the Church here in America belong to Ceasar?
The answer is no. How do I know this?
The First Amendment text reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
My most important mission as a Christian is to get the Gospel to a lost and dying world. We should not forget that our nation was founded in the pulpit and it will either live or die in the pulpit. She was founded on biblical principles by a very diverse group of men.
As Christians we should not be consumed the affairs of our nation but we should certainly be involved in the decisions that are made by politicians that effect our day to day lives? That is why we are in the shape we are in because we have decided to turn a blind eye to the politicians who have shredded the Bible along with the constitution for decades. We are reaping what we have sown. We retreated into our routines and our programs ignoring the fact that our history over time was deliberately being erased from the public square. We have given up our media, we have given up our schools, we have given into every demand until they come for the churches which is exactly what is going to happen next.
The law of the land states that my government has absolutely no jurisdiction on the affairs of the Church. This is what separates America from every other nation on earth. We have no state church…Yet.
As a Christian and as an American I am obeying the Law of the Land. These mandates that have been given by politicians to shut down Churches, order masks, prevent gatherings of a certain number of people, stop home worship, prevent musicians from playing their instruments during a service are not laws.
Now I am not here to tear down any church or pastor who has decided to implement masks as requirement in their church. That’s not my job. That is a decision that each pastor/church needs to make individually. I respect their right to make their own decisions nor am I against anybody who wants to wear one. Same goes with the vaccine. You do what is best for your health.
The governments job is to uphold the Constitution and defend it against both enemies foreign and domestic. Not to make decisions regarding my health. Government has no business in the health care field. Take a look through the Bill of Rights and tell where Health Care is a right or if it holds anyplace in that document.
Now if a politician says we are letting the doctors make these decisions or the opinions of the doctors are driving the decisions made by politicians then what we have are unelected “doctors” running the show which is in and of itself unconstitutional.
These may seem like little things to defend but once there is a cure for Covid then the mask debate turns to a vaccine debate? What then? What then? How fare does Big Brother take it?
I say let’s just leave the politicians out of it and let the People decide what is best for their own lives even if we disagree with each other. Just think about all of this.
The freedom to think and use that thought is the most dangerous weapon to the enemy. Politics aside. We have always been just one generation away from losing our constitutional republic where the individual has the freedom to worship, to read, to think, and to choose.
The left, the right, Big Tech, mainstream media, they are getting desperate and God is revealing who these people have been all along. It’s not Covid, the media or the politicians that have brought this upon our nation. It’s our fault, the people, the church, for falling asleep at the wheel. God has used all of what is going on to reveal who we have been for the last few decades. While we, the church, have been dead asleep the enemy has been working behind the scenes for years and now we see they are showing their desperation.
Is it enough to wake us up? I haven’t seen the church wake up yet. We just want our routine back. We want our normal back while the enemy is out in full force trying to destroy our nation, what’s left of it that is.
America as we have always known her may fall but God remains on His throne and in control! No Big Tech company can censor that!
It’s time to wake up folks! It’s the eleventh hour for America.
