Politically correct Christianity is killing us. Sure, nowadays a conflict is easily triggered just by having a different opinion. Following Christ has a conflict built-in. Jesus said, “I have not come to bring peace... For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother... And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household” (Mat 10:34–36). I came to Christ during my escape from communist Czechoslovakia. Lately, I have seen some Christians get uncomfortable when my story exposes the evils of communism. Some even asked me to leave out the “political part” - but how would the triumph of His light be revealed if the darkness from which I was saved was left out? We are called to testify to others by “the things in which (we) have seen, to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God” (Acts 26:18). Brainwashed by atheism through high school and college, many believe that communism is actually not that bad. Christians must always remember not only what we were saved for, but also what we were saved from. I came to the USA with a first-hand experience of what it's like when an evil minority wipes out the word faith from the dictionary and redefines the list of moral values. I believe one of the reasons for the spiritual collapse in the USA is the absence of preaching against evil. I also find that many Americans are quite naive saying “this is America, it can't happen here." Well, it's happening now! We are losing a war in which Christians are fighting for their right to exist. Yet, most remain silent while the enemy continues to present evil as good and good as evil. Who would have thought even ten years ago that satanists will be running afterschool programs and drag queens act as icons for a public education system in which the kids can pick a new gender identity without parental consent. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness…" (Isa 5:20). I don’t know about you, but to me the platforms for the gospel and exposing evil are one and the same. We can’t keep silent about evil because some are uncomfortable. The passive, even cowardly believers who say nothing are in fact personally responsible for the collapse of our Judeo-Christian culture. John the Baptist was killed for being critical of the king's immoral lifestyle. Paul was beaten, jailed and executed because his convictions challenged the government agenda. What about Jesus? Are there any reasons the government of his time used to kill Him which today would be viewed as “political?” The church needs a fresh infusion of moral courage to speak against all evil even as the government is outsourcing their censorship to giant media companies. Let’s ignore the labels pinned on us by this paranoid and dysfunctional world. Let’s not shrink under the judgments of fearful church goers. Our country can be saved, but we must act now lest we run out of time!

I don't know who penned it, but it IS something to think about: "The longer a tea bag sits in the cup, the stronger the tea. The longer you sit in God's Word, the stronger your faith."
