Musing – How Well do We Understand the Far Left Agenda?

 Hebraic Musing – How Well do We Understand the Far Left Agenda?

Pastor Emeritus, Erwin Lutzer, of Moody Church in Chicago has declared on behalf of us Christians that “We Will Not Be Silenced; Responding Courageously to Our Culture’s Assault on Christianity.”*  His book is said by me and by others to be a must read for all Christians.  Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”  Ps. 2:1-3  NKJV 

Lutzer’s book expounds on “the forces that seek to dismantle the core values that built up America.”  Let me tease you with chapter headings, introductions and a few salient snippets from the book.

Rewrite the Past to Control the Future, The strategies being used to delegitimize our Judeo-Christian past in order to make way for a wholly secular and Godless society.   What’s happening?  Destruction of History by burning books, toppling statues to delegitimize the Founding Fathers and America’s Judeo-Christian heritage.    After History is erased, then erase the constitution and Judeo-Christian heritage.   “If a person loses his memory, he does not know who he is.  When a nation loses its history, it becomes whatever people say it is. Based on the loudest and angriest voices.”  BTW – Similarly - The NT gets meaning from the OT.

Use Diversity to Divide and Destroy How harmful cultural ideologies are keeping the races in perpetual, endless conflict.    Using Diversity with Victimology to Divide Races, Genders, White Privilege, etc.  But John 17:22 says “…they may be one just as We are one.”  Victimization justifies Government dependency, providing “free” stuff for the “victims.”  But Prov. 14:23 says “In all labor there is profit,…”

Critical Role of Families in Our National Struggles. Biblical Marriage** What percentage of children going home to both original parents!?!?  Ask your public school teachers that question. (I suspect it’s less than 10%!)

Freedom of Speech for Me, but Not for Thee. The growing trend to stifle and shame those who uphold conservative or Christian worldviews, And Using Slogans to Mask Evil.  So they twist definitions to sell their agenda as Civil Right or as Love & Compassion.  Using Gaslighting to change Language to lower Crime Rates.
At first the Left applauded free speech; now it is deemed unfair, unjust and insensitive.  Ok for some groups, but not others.  Free speech for Christians is criminalized or shamed or mocked!  Defund the Police.  And calls from BLM to destroy images of Christ and deface houses of worship…(p.63)

Sell the Noble Cause. How propaganda is used to shape a population’s perception of reality so they will not change their minds even when confronted by compelling counterevidence.  The Importance of Climate Change.       “They” believe the earth cannot support more than about a billion people (not the 7 billion we have now), so abortion & euthanasia are needed.  Under the banners of compassion and justice, “Equality” is the banner for Same-sex Marriage, Economic (Socialism). The Focus is now on “Individual rights” instead of loving your neighbor.  All these issues are not to help the poor, but to organize for power.  Social Justice – Critical Race Theory (CRT) & Intersectionality stress inequality and assign blame and victimhood.  Their focus is on matters of diversity – gender identity, race, sexuality, ethnicity, class, etc. and ends with controversy about “White Guilt.”  BTW - Theirs is not a method to make people both free and equal.   “The Church is a Toxic Culture.”  Because of “social justice” and CRT it is difficult to have Biblical discussions about race and gender.

Sexualize Children.  How school curricula and popular culture are leading our children into sexual confusion and warped ideas of personal identity.  The Corrupting Influence of Our Public Schools.  Christian Colleges Submit to LGBTQ Values.   The Demonic Nature of What’s Happening in the Transgender Phenomenon.  Explicit curriculums subtly promote the LGBTQ agenda.  Destruction of the nuclear family.**   Promotion and legalization of drug use and pornography.

Capitalism is the Disease; Socialism is the Cure.   Why socialism is initially attractive yet ultimately leads to failure, and how capitalism can create wealth that furthers Christian work everywhere.   Capitalism is blamed for evil in society, charged with greed, materialism, selfishness, etc.; all leading to financial inequality.  
BTW - Is Karl Marx still ruling from the grave?

Join radical Islam to destroy AmericaWhy and how two very different worldviews are willing to set aside their differences to eradicate Christianity and capitalism.   

Vilify! Vilify! Vilify!  How disagreements today are no longer resolved with mutual respect and civility, but through shaming and outrageous denunciations.   “An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.” – Thomas Jefferson.

Wake Up!  Strengthen What Remains! Jesus, speaking to a New Testament church, gives a warning that applies directly to us today, and His assessment is the only one that matters.   “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.  Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent.”  Rev.3:2-3  Could Jesus have said this to us?

Points to ponder

Is Jesus our Lord, or has the world become our lord?  Whose judgement matters?

Can the Culture be Reclaimed without reclaiming the CHURCH?

How are we to protect Family, Friends and Ourselves from brain-washing?

“The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD…” Ps.2:2 NIV
