Iโm sitting here frustrated and disappointed on a Sunday morning contemplating the state of the American church, I write this as a form of peer pressure to those of you who believe in God.
Within my six months in Northern Virginia Iโve driven by hundreds of churches of varying denominations where rainbow flags and black power fists reign higher than the cross, and this isnโt a matter of cavalier placement - the religion of Leftism has conquered the religion of Christ here.
I am a Christian, and what I specifically mean is I am totally intolerant of sin and preserve forgiveness to those who uphold accountability. It does not mean I embrace diversity and accept everyone, far from it, absolute tolerance is definitively absolute weakness. It means that I look up to the church fathers and martyrs, that to be a man of God you must carry both cross and sword. It means having a public stance for your enemies to target your position because youโve embraced going down fighting. This Christianity prays that death will not meet him unscarred, as the embarrassment of standing for nothing out weighs the pain of physical backlash.
This is the Christianity I respect.
Where the warrior-spirit emboldens its followers to the boundary drawn by the scripture, to stand between that which is sacred and the surrounding radicals. The Christianity that understands that it was the state that crucified Jesus Christ (the ideal) and that the same collectivist ideology permeates in the modern world to silence the wholesome into oblivion. The Christianity that stands against vaccine mandates, abortion, censorship, taxation, sexual promiscuity and homosexuality due to their fundamentalist nature.
The bottom line is that Christianityโs primary selling point for the past millennium was in its rituals that upheld familial cohesion, acknowledgement of ontological hierarchies and finally the overcoming of death. And all three of these divisions have been replaced with gender based equity politics, the hippie-esque undifferentiated spiritual love of woo woo and keeping up with the Joneses. The majority of churches today are simply weekend social clubs wearing the costume of a higher order.
I ask, when is the last time you heard a minister bluntly point out the sins of the Democrat party? Then I ask, do you remember the most recent service where the minister spoke of Godโs unconditional love that makes everything hunky-dory, to just get on your knees and be blind to all evils in the name of love?
The answer is: never and last Sunday.
If Christianity wants to survive as a religion, the alpha male pastors in this country must consistently inspire their congregation by example. To make philosophical and political statements onto their local community whilst pointing out the transgender state of affairs in the American church. Because at this point of the narrative there is no other way but to offend, rock the boat, accept collateral damage and make some enemies.
If Jesus Christ is the ideal man, we ought to follow in his wake.
In other words the total acceptance that the mob will villify and harass you when speaking truth to power, readily expected.
This is what it means to be a Christian today and its time we get our balls back.
Great article! I am not offended by the title, but I think a better one would be "Christianity needs to get their faith back" because that is the more pressing issue. Faith will enable Pastors (who should only be men anyway) to speak against the evils of Satan with boldness. What we have today is squishy faithless bags of sin who condone sin because they aren't right with God themselves. They are more afraid of the mob than of God. The saints went to the fire preaching to the mob! Hebrews 11 says that is faith, not balls lol.
