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.’” Psalm 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 of my salient snippets from the book.
Rewrite the Past
to Control the Future - The
strategies being used to delegitimize our Judeo-Christian past 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 our 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 – Notice how our NT gets meaning from
the history in the OT.
Use Diversity
to Divide and Destroy
- How harmful cultural ideologies are
keeping races in perpetual, endless conflict.
Using Diversity with Victimology to Divide Races, Genders, White
Privilege, etc. In contrast, 1 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,…” NKJV
Critical Role
of Families in Our National Struggles - Biblical Marriage** What percentage of school children go
home to both original parents!?!? Ask
school teachers that question. (I suspect it’s only about 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 a Civil Right or as Love and/or Compassion
by 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 and Economic Socialism. The Focus is now on “Individual rights”
instead of “love your neighbor.” All
these issues are not to help the poor, but to organize for power. Social Justice, Critical Race Theory &
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.” The tone of
“social justice” and CRT make it 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. Thus, the Destruction of the
nuclear Biblical 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.”
Revelation 3:2-3 Was Jesus speaking
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 brainwashing?

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