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 America. Why 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
