The first time that I noticed the word 'narrative' being bandied about quite regularly was 17 years ago when as a fifty year old I went back to college pursuing a degree in higher education. A couple of the professors were using the word regularly. Well it's rather commonplace today on conservative talk radio. Controlling the narrative is like controlling the center of the board in chess.
Over the past few decades control of the narrative would go back and forth between the mainstream media and conservative talk radio. Recently Donald Trump elbowed conservatives out of the way so it's the media and the president's tweeting....back and forth....back and forth. In the process the president has shifted the conversation away from his globalist inner circle....who he put there.... and his backtracking and dallying on some very key issues that got him elected. So the same device that successfully befuddled Hillary Clinton's campaign is now befuddling the thinking process of the very people who put Donald Trump in office.
There was a day when the actual news of the world controlled the narrative. This all changed around 1980 with the Reagan Revolution and Moral Majority, and changed again when Rush Limbaugh and the Clintons faced off against each other. President Trump's Twitter account is dominant today in controlling the narrative.
My question is....where is the American pastor? The Christian pulpit controlled the narrative from Plymouth Massachusetts up to the American Revolution when it split the narrative control with pamphleteering in the fight for independence. By the way, these posts are certainly not a blog. I consider them pamphleteering....or dispatches from what essentially is the collapse of America. Example.....Dateline San Francisco....November 30th, 2017....American Jurisprudence....Does anyone doubt anymore that America no longer exists....?
I recently heard a second hand quote where a prominent pastor said that if he preached on hell from the pulpit that the people would fire him. The cross of Calvary is rarely preached in America. You disagree with this? Just mentioning Jesus Christ a few times in a sermon is not preaching Christ or the cross. Unless you have actually heard or read a sermon out of the past then you have nothing to compare contemporary preaching with!
The American pulpit needs to take back the narrative in America and this can only be done....should God will it.... by going back in time.....which is essentially going back to the only narrative that matters....which is the creation, fall and redemption of man accomplished on an old rugged cross and an empty tomb....along with covenants, promises and fulfillment of those promises in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ in power and glory. Our pulpits today are more comic-relief than dogma....more pacification than storming the gates of hell. Consequently we....the American people....are easy pickins for Facebook, Twitter, Google, the mainstream media and.....Oh look...there goes a bunny!
