Reading for Christians Engaged in the Culture Wars
Every week I offer a curated selection of articles and posts of interest to Christians loving God with all their minds in a hostile society. My intent is to provide you with information that helps you stand firm in the faith despite the culture wars raging around us.
The DOJ Targets Domestic Terrorists — AKA Angry Americans
Anyone who disagrees with government policy is now a domestic terrorist, according to the U.S. Attorney General
The DOJ is becoming a weapon of the culture wars.
Merrick Garland is taking political weaponization of the DoJ to a whole new level. It started with the National Association of School Boards (NASB) asking the DoJ for protection against protesting parents. You know, those parents who have objections to making gender fluid racists out of their children. They should know that what schools choose to teach their kids is none of their business — just ask Terry McAuliffe. Luckily, the NASB’s union backers have been paying for influence for many years. Now they’re cashing in their chits for a little consideration. The NASB has asked that the DoJ treat misbehaving parents as domestic terrorists, with the full capabilities of the Patriot Act brought to bear. I can just image how that conversation went.
Why the Biden Administration Wants to Track Your Bank Accounts
This proposal by the Biden administration would infringe on our natural right to privacy.
It hardly strikes any of us as news that the government does not care about our privacy. But recent efforts by the Biden administration to put millions of Americans under the gaze of financial regulators take that disdain for ordinary citizens to a new level.
The Specter of One World Government Looms Large
The Biden administration is working with the United Nations to create a “One World Government.”
This has been a goal of Marxism from the beginning. Now it has become part of the American agenda. And is an ultimate goal of the culture wars.
The U.N.’s Agenda 2030 is still in place, and the clock is ticking toward its empowerment — only eight years and two-plus months to go. This Agenda is for a new world government, which will implement the policies of the Agenda.
This new government on our horizon explains many of the failures in policies in these first months of the Biden administration. The failures are based not so much on mistakes as on deliberate sabotage to weaken our country, dilute the power that undergirds our sovereignty, and prepare us to accept one-world government.
People Who Love Free Speech Can Protect It by Doing It Virtuously
Ryan Wolfe reminds us that Americans possess an almost unlimited right to free speech and the best way to protect this right is to use it with integrity.
The nature of free speech in America, in contrast to even other developed Anglophone countries like Canada, the U.K., and Australia, is such that the right to individual expression is nearly unlimited. For example, Canada criminalized “hate speech” in 1992, and the government is currently pushing legislation that would curtail online “hate speech” too, under the absurdly broad definition of “communication that expresses detestation or vilification of an individual or group of individuals on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.”
Yes, Abortion and Transgenderism Do Have Lots in Common
In this excellent piece, Nathanael Blake shows how abortion and transgenderism share the same false understanding of what it means to be human.
Reviewing a New York Times column by Jennifer Finney Boylan, he writes …
Although there are abortion supporters who oppose transgenderism and vice versa, Boylan is correct that the justifications for abortion and transgenderism share most of their ideological DNA. Both are rooted in hatred for the givenness of human embodiment and its limitations. Both should be rejected in favor of something better.
New Common Core Sex Ed Standards Will Force Graphic Sex and Abortions on Kids
The Common Core curriculum always pushes a radical agenda for our schools.
Our classrooms are targets in the culture wars.
Consider this important warning from lifenews.com.
Pro-abortion groups are pushing a radical new sex education program on public schools that promotes abortions and shows graphic sexual images to young children while undermining parental guidance.
Why Progressives Think Confronting CRT Is ‘Terrorism’
More good information on the U.S. Department of Justice’s attack on freedom of speech and religious freedom.
Critical Race Theory (CRT) is rapidly becoming a key weapon in the culture wars.
The Justice Department, led by that petty tyrant Merrick Garland (thank God he isn’t on the Supreme Court), has asserted that parents and anyone in general concerned with critical race theory and other tools of educational propaganda are domestic terrorists. What a surprise. Not.
You Are a Letter
You don’t need to fear sharing the Gospel and this post explains why.
I’ve often quoted Francis of Assisi on how to share the Gospel. “Preach the gospel at all times and if necessary, use words.”
David Murray fleshes out this approach to evangelism…
But the most effective evangelism, the most effective apologetics, the most effective marketing, the most effective organization, the most effective publishing and podcasting don’t compare with the evangelistic impact of a Christ-like life.
‘Enabling Religious Persecution’: Apple Obeys China’s Communist Regime, Quran and Bible Apps Removed
Apple will pursue business even at the cost of religious freedom.
“By obeying the Chinese Communist Party’s order to remove Bible and Quran apps from its platform in China, Apple is enabling China’s religious persecution, including the ongoing genocide of Uyghur Muslims. This decision must be reversed,” said Edward Ahmed Mitchell, national deputy director for CAIR.
The Next Place Wokesters Want to Indoctrinate Kids Is in ‘Media Literacy’
More on the Biden administration’s plan to radicalize our children.
As I read the comments from administration officials and educators, my B.S. meter reached its highest level.
K-12 instruction warped by Critical Race Theory (CRT) and related social-justice radicalism has become such a flashpoint that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland threatens federal retaliation against parent dissidents. Educrats are trying to quell the rebellion by changing definitions, such as the claim, “We’re not teaching CRT, we’re using culturally responsive teaching,” which is the same thing under a different label. Another tactic is to install anodyne-sounding curricular programs that accomplish subversive social-justice goals without alerting parents to the scam.
Nebraska Education Department Wants to Push Sex and Abortion on Kids
Even in the American heartland, our children are under attack by progressives.
Radical pro-abortion groups are lobbying to have these sex education “standards” taught across the country, and some states already are.
