The problem in America today is as it was in Noah’s time,[i] as in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah,[ii] and in Christ’s time:[iii] there are way too many people who do not know the first thing about Christ nor His truth and grace. Many even call themselves Christians. We can see this in the perverted godless politicians, the regressive antichrist LGBT agenda, our godless education system focused on teaching hate and debauchery, and worse, the godless faithless silent churches. Remarkably the leadership of the Democrat party is sponsoring these evils and many more.
To counter this evil agenda there is a void, a lack of biblical knowledge present in the body of Christ. The body of Christ does not know how to practice our biblical commission that would teach believers to publicly stand against these public evils. This lack of biblical knowledge is creating the uncertainty of how Christians should deal with and influence the public arena swirling around them. This is why misled Christians say, do you not know speaking of politics is not accepted in the Christian church! This is Satan’s lie enabled and condoned by naïve shepherds. They have bought this lie like Eve, and worse like Eve, they sponsor and spread the lie to the body of Christ. This is playing into Satan’s evil schemes and nothing is better for Satan than Christians who withdraw and silence themselves by hiding the truth of God from the public square of darkness.
The truth is Satan has been using politics since the beginning of time to persecute and kill righteous God loving people. Every Prophet in the old and new Testaments spoke against people running evil governments. A few examples are Pharaoh, Rehoboam, Jezebel and Ahab. John the Baptist called out King Herod the ruler of the Jews and the Sanhedrin who politically organized the murder of Christ.[iv] In Revelation, John sees Satan’s government as a beast rising out of the sea and gaining great power and authority,[v] and then Christ strikes the nations with the sword and rules over them.[vi] In Ephesians Paul reveals Satan’s demonic powers has four faces. The first rulers, second, authorities, third, the powers of this dark world, and fourth is the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.[vii] Christians were commissioned and given the power of the spoken word of God that allows the Holy Spirit to discourage and prevent these evils from growing and may even bring those living in darkness to the light of Christ.
Shepherds and Christians are not commanded to be silent. They are commanded to “Put on the full armor of God to protect themselves from the devil and his evil schemes.” and “…fight …against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, and the princes of the darkness of this world.” We fight with the sword of the Spirit, the word of God which is the word of truth, praying always in the spirit that we may open our mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which we are His ambassadors, (Ephesians 6:17-20 paraphrased). We are therefore warriors for Christ who stand against evil by being as visible as a light on the hill (Matthew 5:14) and controlled by the Holy Spirit of God.
It is true the church is not a political power. The church guided by the Holy Spirit is the greatest power known to mankind because Christ has commissioned us through the power of the Holy Spirit to witness Christ’s truth to the ends of the earth.[viii] “For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of wise discretion.”[ix]
In our culture, everything is political. Shepherds and Christians cannot avoid or hide from politics when evil political agendas are today attacking the very existence of Christianity in America. The question becomes can Christian’s support Democrat leaders who are actively supporting evil?
The following is just a sampling of what they believe.
- Democrat leaders support the persecution of Christians! (The Bible)
- They support the murder of the unborn! (Ex20:13-Matt5:21)
- They support marriage between same sex couples! (1 Tim1:10-Heb3:4)
- They support ending freedom of religion and speech! (Gal5-2 Tim3)
- Democrat leaders support the progressive woke religion embracing debauchery, racism, and delusion so many will believe the lie of Satan! (2 Thess 2:9-11 – Rom1:25)
- They support open borders victimizing millions and enable the sale of drugs, fentanyl, which is killing over one hundred thousand Americans yearly! (Rev6:4 – Acts 13:10)
- Democrat leaders support LGBTQ rights over Christians and persecute Christians for exercising their moral conscience! (Gal 5 -2Tim3 -Rom 1:22-32))
- They support elimination of the word of God in the public square! (Matt12:25)
- They support homosexual indoctrination of children in public schools and the butchering of children, physically cutting off their sex organs, who suffer trans depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues! (Ps 127:3 -Matt 18:6)
- They support men who self-identify as women and condone them functioning as women! (Rom 1:22-32)
- They support the end justifies the means, which validates any illicit or immoral behavior! (Phil2:3—Gal5:19-21)
- They support Marxism that replaces God with human authoritarianism. (2 Pet 2:19)
- They support election fraud to abolish liberty! (Acts 13:10)
- Their leader, the resident in the white house has proven he is pathological liar! (John 8:44)
In summary: The modern Democrat leaders are carelessly going on living, supporting their evil immoral ideologies, making anti-liberty laws, debasing people’s bodies and laughing at our Constitutional Republic that was created by the providence of God. They even scoff at those who believe in Jesus the Christ. This is the spirit of the antichrist manifesting itself before our very eyes.
This is a warning; Shepherds and Christians nothing you say will excuse you from your direct or indirect support of this godless diabolical satanic Democrat agenda. “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”[x] Jesus said; “for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, but narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to everlasting life, and there are few who find it.”[xi] Those who think they are Christian and support and vote for this demonic Democrat leadership will reap what they sow!
Pulpit Massagers; It is too bad there are so many shepherds pandering to those living in darkness who may be offended by the public exposure of biblical truth. These shepherds refuse to speak and then fail to teach the body of Christ, warning them by making it crystal clear that the antichrist Democrat ideology hates the body of Christ, and is trying to turn America into a Marxist state. This will happen if the body of Christ remains silent in the face of this evil, (Romans 1:18-32 & 2 Cor. 4:4).
Here is a memo to the uninformed Shepherds and Christians! You cannot be a Christian and be a Democrat. The Democrat party platform, their very foundation combined with their actions absolutely stands against every biblical truth the Bible teaches. Christians need to recognize this evil and “Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness, but instead, rebuke and expose them. Then Paul gives us the reason for exposing darkness. “But when you expose them, the light shines in upon their sin and shows it up, and when they see how wrong they really are, some of them may even become children of light,” (Ephesians 5:11&13)
Disciples empathically and compassionately confront your silent shepherds. If they will not “…turn from their wicked ways”[xii], wipe your feet at their door and leave. Otherwise, they will lead the faithful to join the largest body of church goers, the unlearned who without the knowledge of the power of speaking the truth of God will become silent, and American Christianity will continue to slide into iniquity.
Disciples of Christ know the power of Christ’s righteousness is embedded in God’s spoken truth. Disciples speaking His truth encourages and allows the Holy Spirit to become the barrier that exposes debauchery, tyranny, and the antichrist goal of authoritarianism. Best of all, when the truth of God is spoken by Christians, Christ’s spirit “…gives light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, and at the same time, “…guides our feet into the way of peace.”[xiii] Amen!
