Compartmentalize, Isolate, Demonize, and Destroy

The words in the title represent the plan to destroy Christianity in America.  It began with convincing Christians to compartmentalize their faith.  This is the concept that our faith should not bleed over into other areas of our lives.  Politicians should not govern according to the principles of their faith.  Teachers should not wear symbols of their faith at school.  In short, it is fine to go to church and pray in our homes, but religion must be kept out of the public realm.  More and more we were conditioned to keep our faith to ourselves, which is the exact opposite of the Great Commission Jesus issued to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth.  Sadly, far too many Christians chose compartmentalization over their commission.
 
The next phase is isolation.  This is the phase we are currently in.  It began with a shift in culture that painted Christian values as tools of oppression, objects of ridicule, and proof of ignorance.  The intent was to turn Christianity into a badge of shame, an affiliation so absurd that no one in their right mind would want to be associated with it.  The goal was to culturally marginalize Christians – to make them feel as though they were in the minority despite the fact they held the majority.  This effort has been wildly successful.  This culture shift has allowed the minority to claim unprecedented victories in the realm of public policy and has even started to shift our definitions of reality.
 
But this year isolation took on an even more concrete and troubling form.  The COVID-19 crisis created a pretext to shutdown churches and prevent Christians from gathering.  Christians have watched as grocery stores, home and garden stores, and abortion clinics have remained open while houses of worship were deemed unessential.  Christians have watched as “peaceful” protestors have gathered in crowds for days on end, shouting, looting, and setting fires, even as Christians are prohibited from singing or chanting in some of the very states were protesting has gone on unhindered.
 
What we are seeing is leftists groups that are being allowed to display shows of strength to influence and intimidate to advance an ideology, while Christians are separated down to the household level, thereby creating a psychological effect where Christians feel even more powerless and unable to fight back against the changes that are taking place around them.  And should churches dare to fight back, the next phase will soon be implemented.  The insistence of churches to gather will be blamed for COVID deaths in the months to come.  They will say we could have had this disease beaten if stupid Christians would have just worshipped at home.  They will say this even has protestors continue to fill the streets and liberal elites continue to display their hypocrisy by flouting the oppressive rules they put in place.
 
This is the demonization phase, where all ills of our current society will be blamed on Christians.  Critical Race Theory will advance to its inevitable conclusion and blame Christianity for slavery and the unjust founding of our nation.  Traditional Christianity will be labeled an irredeemably racist religion used to justify white supremacy and foisted upon slaves to condition them to endure their suffering.  Only a social justice version of Christianity will be allowed to continue – one that accepts homosexuality, abortion, unlimited genders, and denies the exclusivity of Jesus as the only path to Heaven. 
 
This will in effect be the destruction of Christianity.  Churches who do not obey the social justice doctrine will be forcibly shutdown.  Those who preach a gospel contrary to the socially acceptable one will be “cancelled”, charged with hate crimes and imprisoned.  This is our future if we do not actively work to change its course.  We need to reject compartmentalization, reverse our isolation, and refuse to be demonized.  If we do not do these things, Christianity as we know it will be destroyed.
