One of the challenges for the Christian today is to separate out their faith in Jesus Christ from their political views. I confess that my Christian world view informs my politics. But I must be careful not to blend the two arenas and allow my politics to be expressed in my faith. For example, I have become fiercely opposed to abortion but this was not always the case. At one time in my life I was quite content to employ abortion as a method of birth control and felt that that was an option available to anyone else who so chose. But my acquired faith in Jesus Christ changed my thinking as my mind became conformed to the mind of Christ. I now understand that abortion is murder, a crime of which I am guilty and for which I have received forgiveness through Christ’s work on the cross in my behalf. My faith informs my political view on the matter of abortion. However, I see that many people today wave the flag as a patriot and combine that with their faith. The lines between faith and patriotism become fuzzy.
I used to think that the American body politic was a struggle between the “Left/Liberals” and the “Right/Conservatives.” Each point accusing fingers at the other and the disgusting display out of Washington DC is becoming ridiculous. And the thing that bothers me most is that this squabbling between right and left is all a distraction from what is really taking place. The United States has been moving away from its Christian heritage for a number of decades now. The courts are moving Christianity out of the public square, the schools are teaching from texts that ignore the Christian principles upon which we were founded. The US is in a serious state of moral decline. No, not decline but moral freefall. The courts, government, schools have been taken over by the Secular Progressives. The battle is not between Left and Right but between godliness and godlessness. Secular Progressivism is nothing more than godless Marxism dressed up in the flag. The theological equivalent of Secular Progressivism is Liberation Theology which is nothing more than Marxism dressed up in a Jesus suit. We heard snippets of Liberation Theology from Jeremiah Wright during the presidential campaign. Secular Progressivism and Liberation Theology hate the idea of individual freedom that can take advantage of a free market system and entrepreneurial gumption. They hate the idea of your right to bear arms or speak your mind. They desire control of the masses, to take what is yours and give it to someone they deem more deserving. Their plan is to make the populous so beholden and reliant upon government that they will give up their freedoms. All these freedoms we have enjoyed since the founding of our nation are being systematically dismantled before our very eyes.
The removal of freedoms is absolutely essential for the existence of the single-world government to be established in the last days. The Marxists and Secular Progressives in the White House, Congress and governmental agencies are at work to systematically dismantle the country we have known. In very short order, our dollar will be virtually worthless and a new world currency will have to come in to take its place. China and Russia and the United Nations are already calling for the dollar to be replaced as the currency in which world oil transactions are conducted. The US government is running up a debt that can never be paid off. In the last 50 years the US has gone form the largest lender nation to the largest debtor nation. The only hope to stave off the formation of a one-world government is to vote the Secular Progressives out of office before the can do any more damage. So, Christian, be informed and exercise your vote while you have it.
