#0112 How Should The Christian React To The Culture War? How Did Christ? -Further. Every. Day.

We have a seriously sick culture. We are immolating our children in the name of wokeness and supposed niceness, prosecuting those who implement Godly policies, and stopping church services selectively, yes masks are coming back.

Roughly 5% of young adults identify as trans:

However, we know that this “surgery” is commonly permanently injurious to children, yet we do it anyway:

On a winning note, Target lost $9 Billion in stock value from their support of the transgender agenda:

We have a president who is being prosecuted for asking for a recount, one where they shredded the ballots and wiped the data before the recount could be vetted.

Now, it's clear that whether the election was stolen or not, the prosecution is ideological more so that on any “crime” related to asking for a recount. Trump, love him or hate him, largely carried the Conservative Christian's Policies over the goal line.

And now masks are back and Covid 19 is being brought to the forefront of public debate again:

So how should a Christian, a little Christ, proceed through these topics? Are we to do so agnosticly with no mention of Christ or our Moral Creed, definition of faith?

Matthew 10:33 gives us our answer I believe:

“But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.”

So how should we proceed then? Let us look to Christ for our answer:

In Luke 13:1-9 Christ speaks about two contemporary events, things in the news so to speak. And then gives us our application:

Note, Infrastructure failure and Political Turmoil are brought on by a lack of Godliness. The destruction of the temple was only a few years after this conversation. Many who were present were likely slain in the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

In Matthew 5:16, Christ says

“so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens.”

In Mark 7:9-13, Christ commands that the religious put down their man made morality and reinstate Goldy Theology and a relationship with God.

In Deuteronomy 18:9 we see God commanding the Israelites not to inherit the culture of the detestable cultures around them. A shrewd historian will understand that these practices were infanticide, promiscuity, and homosexuality to name a few.

So how should we proceed? As vocal advocates for righteousness, knowing our subject material well and the Scriptures better.
