​Do not be deceived.  There is an insidious movement in our nation that is cloaked in false virtue to conceal a diabolical end.  If you are one who has been left dumbfounded by the swiftness with which our culture seems to be disintegrating, understand that this is not the work of mere mortals.  There is something wicked at work here and it has an insatiable appetite to consume all that is good.
 
Let us begin by tracing the progression of events that have led us to this place.  In the early twentieth century, an ideology hostile to Christian values began to take over colleges and universities.  Initially, the focus was on education, journalism, and the social sciences – the mechanisms through which a society distributes and processes information.
 
Next came the infiltration of the entertainment industry – the mechanism through which a culture reinforces its value system.  It is a window that strives to be a mirror – providing a picture of a new reality it wants its viewers to become.  Over the later half of the twentieth century entertainment became increasingly violent and sensual, breaking down traditional boundaries of decency.  The line between hero and villain, evil and good, became increasingly blurred.  And through it all a theme emerged – the Christian as the hypocrite, buffoon, killjoy, or villain.
 
The 1960’s saw a massive influx of young people into colleges.  These were young people who had experienced the early titillations of the emerging popular culture.  They were welcomed by Marxist professors who encouraged them to reject their traditional values.  The result was the Sexual Revolution.
 
The Sexual Revolution had two significant outcomes – a skyrocketing of children living in unstable family structures and the legalization of abortion.  In a masterful stroke of evil, women were convinced that it was virtuous to hypersexualize their lives and to fight for the right to kill their unborn children.  It was the ultimate male chauvinist dream – sexualized women and sex without consequences.  And yet somehow it was called Feminism.
Step one in destroying Christianity is the destruction of the family.
 
The next significant cultural shift came in the fight for same-sex marriage.  In a breath-taking short span we went from a period where Barack Obama spoke in defense of traditional marriage during his 2008 campaign to lighting up the White House in the colors of the rainbow to celebrate a landmark Supreme Court case clearing the way for the legalization of same-sex marriages.  But this was never just about the love between two people.  In very swift order, lawsuits were launched against Christian businesses who refused to extend their services to same-sex weddings because of religious objections.
 
Next came the sudden normalization of gender dysphoria.  Suddenly we were told there are an infinite number of genders and that men should be allowed into women’s bathrooms and locker rooms.  The concept of proclaiming a child to be a boy or girl at birth became somehow insensitive and oppressive.  And then the Supreme Court issued a ruling granting transgender individuals civil rights protection.
Step two in destroying Christianity is granting protected status to behaviors that are incongruent with Christian doctrine, thereby pitting religious liberty against newly constructed civil liberties.
 
As this was going on, America allowed an influx of Muslim refugees into the country.  Suddenly there are conversations about Sharia law in Texas, teaching about Islam in Tennessee schools, and we have Minnesota and Michigan electing radical Islamic congresswomen.
Step three in destroying Christianity is amplifying the political and cultural influence of Islam in America.
 
This brings us to 2020.  First, we have the COVID-19 crisis.  “Two-weeks to flatten the curve” so as not to overwhelm hospitals turned into shutting down churches indefinitely.  What emerged was a rather alarming hostility in many places toward churches that attempt to have drive-in services or in-person worship following guidelines similar to essential businesses that were allowed to remain open.
Step four in destroying Christianity will be blaming Christians for spreading the coronavirus because they wanted to attend church.
 
Then we had the tragedy of George Floyd and the racial tensions that have exploded in the aftermath.  In the name of ending racism, much of American history and culture is being erased right before our eyes.  But an activist tipped the movement’s hand as to their ultimate goal when he inartfully spoke of the need to destroy images of the white Jesus.  This was followed by another activist claiming that the term “Pro-Life” was racist.  Do not be fooled.  Black Lives Matter as an organization is a Marxist front group determined to destroy America as we know it.  Do your own research on them and learn the truth.
Step five in destroying Christianity will be linking traditional Christianity to systemic racism.
 
In the end what we will see is a convergence of all these social justice movements to attempt to deal a deathblow to Christianity in America.  The Marxists, Feminists, Islamists, LGBTQ, and Radical Black activists will unite in a common cause to blame all the ills of America on Christianity.  And they will use a generation of indoctrinated youths from broken homes as their foot soldiers to march in the streets, burn churches, tear down statues, and call for the cancellation of all things Christian.
 
If you think I am being hyperbolic, consider how far things have unraveled since February of this year.  If this movement is not stopped now it will keep tearing down the relics of American culture, not stopping until it can tear down every cross in America.  Darkness is sweeping across this country and it despises the light.

July 4th, 1776 marked the day when a group of men took a stand and pledged their lives to proclaim their independence from the tyranny of the King of England.  In doing so, they gave birth to a nation that would do more to advance the cause of liberty and throw down the forces of oppression than any other nation or empire in the history of the world.  They created the freedom for an economic system that would foster innovations to cure previously incurable diseases, cheaply feed the masses, and give our current working class a lifestyle more comfortable than the king of their day.
 
To view that day through the narrow prism of our current culture is to miss the profundity of that moment.  The skin color of those men is irrelevant.  Did some of them own slaves even as they spoke of freeing men?  Yes.  That was a contradiction not lost on many of them, the unjustly maligned Thomas Jefferson among them.  That was a battle for another day, for slavery had been interwoven into the fabric of society and economics since the earliest days of human civilization.  To wage that intellectual war among their own ranks was to guarantee a division that would make the first step for the better world they envisioned impossible.
 
To view this event and these men in the proper context, we must never lose sight of the fallen nature of Man.  Jesus famously spoke “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”.  Judging from the number of stone throwers that have emerged in recent weeks, one might think we have suddenly entered the perfected Millennial reign of Christ.  But alas, no, for what we are seeing is nothing more than an age-old display of human hypocrisy and judgement.
 
Those who celebrate an ideology (Marxism) that has thrown more people into prison camps and graves than even the worst slaveholders in American history could contemplate, would tear down all the good that was done on that July 4th so many years ago.  For make no mistake, these new revolutionaries are not content to just tear down statues.  They mean to tear down American society itself.
 
They wear Che Guevara shirts as they splash red paint on statues of Washington and Jefferson to symbolize the blood on the hands of the Founders of this nation.  Che, who lined up those who were perceived as threats to Castro’s Marxist Utopia and shot them dead.  His hands were hardly unblemished, but perhaps he gets a pass because he killed the “right” people.  Marxism is very proficient at making sure all the “right” people are eliminated.  From Soviet Russia to Communist China, the road to Marxist Utopias is always paved with the bodies of millions who just refused to get “woke”, if you will, to the new more “just” society that was being created.  After all, to build a perfect society, you must first eliminate all those imperfect people.
 
And lest you be under any illusions, the people leading this new revolution are indeed Marxists.  If you do not believe me, do some research on the leaders of Black Lives Matter and these other social justice groups.  Yes, I am suggesting that you actually do a little intellectual work before you add your voice to the cacophony that is calling for the complete overthrow of Western Civilization.  In an age where we are discussing “what is owed”, you owe us that much, fellow citizen. 
 
I think I speak for many when I say that I am sick and tired of being brow-beaten and held under the threat of “cancellation” by the willfully ignorant and dangerously uninformed among us.  I am equally weary of those who want all the benefits of American culture but are too “busy” to do anything to help protect it.  I am speaking of those Christian conservatives among us who had time to binge-watch “Tiger King” but cannot be bothered to watch some of the great work men like Glenn Beck, Steve Deace, and Mark Levin have done to expose the concerted effort taking place to dismantle our society.  We are approaching the time of Rome again, only now many Christians have decided it is much more comfortable to partake in the bread and circuses than to stand on the floor of the Coliseum.
 
When will you stand?  They redefined marriage and you did nothing.  When will you stand?  They redefined gender, telling you with a straight face that men can have babies and menstrual cycles and you did nothing.  When will you stand?  They are programming your children to stand against every value you hold dear and you are doing nothing – worse than nothing – you are funding the reprogramming.  When will you stand?  They are in the streets of your communities burning your businesses, defacing your landmarks, and threatening to come for you if you do not bend the knee.  When will you stand?  In the name of protecting us all from a virus, they told you to sacrifice your business, to stay away from your church, to cancel all funerals, weddings, and graduations, and yet they cheered on massive groups of protestors, vandals, and LGBTQ pride celebrations and now they are telling you to sacrifice your business again and to continue to stay away from your church.  When will you stand?  They release prisoners from jail and allow looters to roam free, yet handcuff mothers at playgrounds, raid Jewish funerals, and arrest hair stylists.  When will you stand?
 
Voting for a Republican will not save you.  Posting a snarky meme on Facebook or Twitter will not save you.  Calling in to a talk show will not save you.  Complaining to your friends over the Starbucks coffee you bought and thereby helped fund their contribution to the destruction of society will not save you.
 
What will save you?  Run for political office.  If you are tired of the leaders we have, become the leader – and stand your ground once you are in office.  This applies to all levels from the school board to the United States Senate.
 
Engage in targeted boycotts.  The forces at work to destroy our society have so deeply penetrated the corporate world that it is very difficult to boycott everything all at once.  I suggest we develop a campaign to identify one organization at a time and engage in a very deliberate and tenacious boycott.  For example, let us say we launch a social media campaign to stop buying Disney products and services until they stop all funding and support for the causes that are destroying our society.  The same would go for social media platforms.  You do not need to boycott all of them at once.  Let us say we all just decided to close our Twitter accounts and moved to the Parler platform (https://parler.com/).  The financial impact of just one or two of these concerted efforts would be enough to remind all companies what the true values are of the majority of their customer base.  We have been taken for granted for far too long and it is our own fault because we let them do it.
 
And should anyone come into your community and tell you how you should live, you stand.  You do not cower in your home, however nor do you go out and engage in violence.  You stand and you let them see you stand.  If enough of us stand, the strength of our numbers will be sufficient to stare down any mob.
 
Most importantly, you must know why you are standing.  It is not out of blind allegiance to a flag or in hero worship of some long dead men.  It is not to prop up a president or put down a group of people.  It is out of love that we stand.  Love for God, love for our families, love for our neighbors, and love for people we do not even know.  We stand because no system of government or economic model has done more to advance the prosperity of humans and protect their liberty than the American capitalist system.  It is not perfect, but perhaps its greatest feature is the fact that it allows its imperfections to be pointed out and repaired.
 
Stand for the truth, no matter the cost.  Never let them force you to proclaim that men can be women and women can be men.  Never let them force you to apologize for sins you have not committed.  Never let them shame you into silence.  You may lose your job.  You may lose friends.  Family members may turn their back on you.  But despite it all you must stand for the truth.  When no one stands for the truth, any lie will be believed and lies lead to destruction.
 
But the sad truth of history is that too often people refuse to stand during that window early on when standing would have been enough to avert tragedy.  Instead, they stayed quiet and hidden away from the commotion being caused by those “fringe” groups.  Then one day the window closes, and they wake up and find their society completely transformed and those fringe groups are now their leaders – leading some of them to re-education camps and others to firing squads.  Our window is closing.  When will you stand?
