It was roughly 100 years ago that the communists in the new Soviet Russia started to spread their tentacles wherever they could around the world. Their plans for America were very specific. They needed to put their people in key areas of American life where they could negatively influence America's ability to defend itself. They would be very patient and work their way up as the years passed to key positions in those areas. Ultimately they in effect successfully infiltrated education, unions, entertainment and even our government in the persons of Barack Obama and many of the people that he brought in with him
Many Americans in the first half of the twentieth century almost faddishly took to Progressivism. They thought that Uncle Joe Stalin may have had a good idea. Educators and celebrities were taken in....and there were even communists in high levels of our government. Congress had a couple of times investigated and purged as many of the communists as they could but by now the progressives in America were strong enough to not only fight back but turn the media against the efforts of Congress.
Meanwhile progressive education began to change how we school our children. We weren't teaching students how to use their minds as much as in how to use them to be productive members of society....a society that would take the responsibility of thinking away from them. The final result is that today up to half of Americans are not only not rigorous in their thinking but they have little use for common sense or logic....certainly not history....or at times even reality. This is what we see literally every day in our news! My initial question then would be to those who think we are going to make America great again is in how they propose to do that when half of the population can not only not help them but will vigorously opposes their efforts. It cannot be done....as our own people will wind up sabotaging us....and that's just what they are doing.
We have put ourselves in a position where we have to either convince people that cannot think straight that they are wrong....or we have to win in the political arena where half the population doesn't even accept election results! Neither can be done. Only God can quicken a conscience....and only God can restore a sound mind!
As I have written many times in these posts of almost ten years....it is the pulpit and not the podium wherein is our only hope.....it is in the Lord of Glory wherein is our only hope. Gideon defeated an entire army with but 300 men. We do not need a large majority of the people as we would in the political arena....and enemies of God cannot sabotage that which God wills! We need those who proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ....to trust only in Jesus Christ....and in Him alone....and if we do this then we will see that 'making America great again' is not a goal that God commissioned....therefore not even a goal that He could take pleasure in....but if be His will....we would see our own culpability and therefore petition God for mercy and not hegemony....and a quickened conscience and a sound mind would be restored to a majority of the American people....enough so that that we might as a people stand humbly before the Lord....and obtain His mercy and strength in the troublesome times ahead.
