“Millions of White Voters Are Once Again Showing Who They Are”

I thought this CNN article would be a good way to illustrate how the Woke (Marxist/Socialist) worldview creates its own ethical foundation. Remember, Marxism believes that anything that promotes the movement toward Socialism/Communism is moral; anything that hinders it is immoral. If you look at this headline and read the article, you will find that it is blatantly racist. Here is a quote:

Indeed, one thing that this week has clarified is the lengths to which many White Americans are willing to go in order to protect their Whiteness, to centralize it…

This should be deeply offensive to all Americans, not just white folks. To stereotype a group of people based upon the color of their skin, berate them and charge them with a motive of seeking white supremacy because they voted Republican is something that should be deemed distasteful if not deplorable. If the same article had been written against “black” or “brown” or “Asian” or “Latino” people, my guess is the author, Brandon Tensley, who works for CNN, would be soundly sacked. 

Now, I am not issuing a call for him to be fired. I believe CNN has the freedom to speak, even with deep racist tones, as they have. We also have the freedom to not subscribe to their products or tune them out. My purpose, rather, is to show that we live in a culture that increasingly buys the Marxist/Socialist worldview and with it, an ethical relativism that calls good evil and evil good. In Tensley’s article, it is considered good to speak racist words if it targets the cultural hegemony. He will not be called on the carpet for this, but rather praised. 

Why?

Because it attacks the cultural hegemony. It furthers the fomenting of hatred by one group towards another. It furthers discord and anger and violence in the hope of a revolution that overthrows the current cultural hegemony so that the Woke elites can rule with absolute power. This, of course, is a scam, for it promises “liberation” and “spoils of war” to the revolutionaries, but they also will lose in the end—the revolutionaries will themselves become slaves to the elite, as history consistently shows.

So, racism has been redefined. Racism can only exist in the hegemony, never in the Woke, even if their actions are racist. To them, they are not. This is why, since this worldview has captured our universities, you can have available the most racist of courses that will not be called racist. And, because it has captured virtually all of the social “powers” in our country, from Hollywood to Duke, from internet monopolies to big CNN-type media, those on the Woke team will always be given a pass. Since they are furthering the agenda, then their acts are moral. This is why Joe Biden could say: “If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black” and nothing came of it. Can you imagine if Trump had said, “If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t white”? There would have been not only a media firestorm of firestorms, but there most likely would have been violent rioting in our cities. Why? Because Woke is moral and Unwoke is immoral. This is why most Christians see things going on around them and have a deep sense they are “unfair” or represent a “double-standard”, and yet don’t understand why saying so is greeted with a blank stare from the Woke, who think it is righteousness.

This is also why you might not have heard that most of our cities were boarded up the night of the election in fear of the violence if Trump was re-elected. Star Parker writes how ShutDownDc, a leftist group, had created a “hit list” of 27 conservative organizations in Washington DC, including her Center for Urban Renewal and the Heritage Foundation, against which they were going to “execute vigilante justice” if the election went the wrong way. The Woke media, of course, was silent. Star was right to ponder, as she looked at a boarded-up DC, that this is what one would expect in Cuba or Venezuela, but not here.

But it is here. It is a worldview that holds an increasing sway in all the social powers and it seeks to destroy. It is demonic and it is gaining a death grip. 

I am quite aware that what I write here, according to Woke Think, is immoral, evil, hateful, racist, bigoted and should be destroyed, torn down, burned down. Don’t be surprised if someone tries to “cancel” it.

But what are we to think of these things? How are we to respond? Do we retaliate? Do we curse and burn and vandalize?

No.

In this instance, we are to pray that a true Christian enters Brandon’s life, builds a significant relationship with him, diligently prays for him, if perhaps the Lord will give him a new heart. 

That is the only way this nation will be preserved; it is the only way it will be healed.

And why do we care? 

First, because worldviews have consequences and they are sometimes dire. If we care for others, then we will fight against those things that will destroy them and make them an unfruitful creation. We fight against racism and bigotry and hatred and stirring up strife. And we fight against a worldview that speaks like an angel of light but, in the end, enslaves them.

Second, we care because we are dealing with souls who have been taken captive by the devil to do his will. When we see someone write things as Tensley did, it should move us with compassion, not anger. Remember, Brandon is not the enemy. The worldview that has taken him captive is the spiritual force of darkness with which we do battle.

We need to engage accordingly.

And third, we care because He cared for us. We love because He first loved us.

When a Culture Develops a Phobia of Truth... It Attacks Chick-fil-A
In the upcoming (hopefully and prayerfully) “Engagement” series, the first tour* will examine the rise of a phobia in our culture toward Truth… Truth with a capital “T” that is, for our culture is filled with little “t” truths… those truth claims that have their genesis in our own precious and special little hearts. We celebrate those truths so much that it borders on being a new cult… one in which the individual and the individual’s belief is elevated to something akin to divinity. To say “my heart tells me…” or “this is who I am…” is tantamount to speaking scripture and to speak against the feelings or desires of the individual is to be labeled with the culture’s current schoolyard names: bigot, hate-monger, intolerant, etc. etc. in hopes, as we did in grade school, that we can elevate our own significance and posture by sneering immature “put-downs” at our favorite “nobodies” and “deplorables”. It would be a grave mistake, as many Christians have done, to label what is happening here with things like “liberal” or “progressive” or “Democrat”. What we are witnessing is a wholesale attack upon truth that has infested much of the cultural powers. The New Democratic party has been deeply infected. But it isn’t the Party… it is the worldview. That worldview is one in which Transcendent Truth is no longer merely ignored nor just set aside so that we can go our own way. No… now there is a war against it. There is a hatred toward it… and a deep fear. An interview on several northwest campuses highlighted this fear. The interviewer, a 5’10” white guy, was trying to get university students to tell him that he wasn’t a 6’ 5” Chinese woman. Even though it was obvious to them, they were afraid to speak it, for to do so was to trump the individual’s declaration with something Transcendent… even that which was obviously real. So, last week, Daniel Piepenbring, writing in the New Yorker, decries the advent of a Chick-fil-A store to the City where, Daniel believes, it “doesn’t quite belong”. He writes that the store’s arrival “augurs worse than a load of manure on the F train”. Why? Is it because he believes there is something wrong with the chicken or the fries? Is it because the milkshakes carry a lot of calories? And, in a city that bans “Big Gulp” drinks in order to protect its citizens from consuming too much sugar, is the store simply out of “nutritional” step with New Yorkers? No. That isn’t why Piepenbring writes a scathing article against Chick-fil-A. It is because Chick-fil-A and its owners embrace a Transcendent Truth. Here is the caption under the article’s picture of the new store: “Chick-fil-A’s corporate purpose begins with the words “to glorify God,” and that proselytism thrums below the surface of its new Fulton Street restaurant.” Interesting, isn’t it? A corporate purpose that begins with “to glorify God” is viewed with distaste and is equated with one of the growing schoolyard taunts: “proselytism”? By the way, “proselytizing” is viewed as an attack upon the divineness of the individual, for It implies that the individual should be persuaded to a different way of thinking and living. In a culture that has made the individual divine, to say there is something wrong in the individual’s beliefs is to speak blasphemy and deserves a sentencing to the stocks… or worse. That is the tenor of the article. It is written with a sense of outrage, of seething anger and hatred toward an establishment, as Daniel states:  whose headquarters “are adorned with Bible verses”… Oh my! Or its stores have the audacity to “close on Sundays”… double Oh My! Then comes, of course, the thing that is probably stirring up the greatest phobia in Daniel, and that is the position of Dan Cathy, the CEO, who stood for “traditional marriage”. Our culture is in a war against Transcendent Truth and anyone who dares to stand for that Truth. If it is a transcendent truth about anything: sex, marriage, male and female, God, Jesus, salvation by Him alone, moral right and wrong… anything… you will be either opposed or openly hated by the cultural “elites”. Although the war against truth has been raging from the Garden, it has never been so openly waged in our culture as it is today. This is a recent phenomenon. But, there is a strong and faithful remnant in the land… take hope. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men revile you and say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Jesus, Matthew 5:10-11 Do everything in your power to live at peace in this culture, but don’t let it bully you into giving up the Truth. Jesus said He was the Truth. We will not turn away from Him, even if the beautiful people of Hollywood mock us, or the professors scorn us, or the NBA or NCAA move their games, or the state and the courts threaten us and close our stores, or even if a writer holds us in disdain and contempt. You are the light of the world. If you hide your light, then the whole house groans in darkness. We are a Remnant of Hope. Stand firm in Him.   *the Engagement: Tour 0: “In a Land of Nought—A Remnant of Hope”

Christmas - Offensive to the gods
  The day we call “Christmas” is a celebration of one of, if not equal to, the greatest events in the history of man. It was the culmination of a promise made thousands of years ago in the Gardern of Eden that God would graciously send the “Seed” to crush the head of the evil one and begin the process of making all things right again. Paul tags this moment this way: “But in the fullness of time, God sent forth His son, born of a woman…“ Galatians 4:4 Earlier he said, “Why then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the “seed” to whom the promise referred had come.” Gal 3:19 Even earlier, Paul states this Seed is Jesus Christ, who miraculously came to earth in the form of a man. The King of Kings set aside all riches and put on the robes of a pauper, entering the world in the normal, base process of human gestation, so that we might be reconciled to God once again, brought to life from death, clothed with righteous, made a child of God, a recipient of eternal life through faith in Christ. What riches we gained from his sacrifice.! For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9 Yet, in the midst of this most gracious, most kind, most truly loving act of God, the gods of the earth were offended and bent on destroying the Child and all He represented. Herod slaughtered the young in Bethlehem to eliminate Him; the Pharisees and church rulers conspired to kill Him and be rid of Him; Satan tried everything to crush Him. Nothing has changed, really. Today, our culture believes we are gods… equal gods, of course, so that we can all reign in a strange “co-regency”. We do this under the “covenant of tolerance” where each covenants to not impose upon the other’s “god-hood”: “I won’t tell you that what you are doing is wrong, if you don’t tell me that what I am doing is wrong.” In this world of godlings, we therefore can reign without guilt or condemnation or restraint. In this world, any offense of a fellow god is repulsive and tantamount to a capital crime, to be met with the most vicious and heated attacks. In this world, no one god is allowed to reign above another: "There is no one God!" That is horribly offensive and will not be tolerated. So, the celebration of “Christmas” to pay honor and praise to the One true God and His most remarkable act of coming to earth that we might be reconciled to Him, is offensive to all the gods. This year, a memo was circulated around the University of Minnesota from the Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Office stating any celebration that even included green or red was offensive because they represented colors that traditionally were used to point to Christ. Of course, no angels or nativity scenes, bells, doves, or anything else that might offend a god somewhere, someway, somehow. These seem silly to many, yet it is part of the whole of our culture that finds offense almost anywhere. It is why the traditional Bible on a POW table has been removed and why the symbol of the cross and references to anything of Christ are being taken out of crests, flags, mottos, laws, policies, platforms and any other public forum. Nothing is new, brothers and sisters, except that we have now become a remnant in the Land, and must begin to act as a Remnant. And remember... when Harrod and the Pharisees and Satan, tried to wipe Him out… He prevailed. And He prevails today, regardless of what the world will want you or me to think. Take heart, body of Christ! As we celebrate today the coming of our Savior, we will one day celebrate His return and the restoration of all things. “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Have a blessed Christmas!
