Love, tolerance and socialism
In today’s society and propagated in all aspects the media,
we are finding a push towards an equality that rivals the views Stalin, Lenin
and Marx. Everywhere I look I see a
degradation of values, an infiltration of hedonism and a total disrespect of our
elderly. And that’s just in my own mirror.
All joking aside, I was raised to love, trained to defend, reminded to
be thankful for and encouraged to pray over daily; this great nation my forefathers
shed blood over.
Currently, our political temperature is that of tolerance. I
am supposed to accept every point of view even if I disagree because everyone
has the same rights that I have. If these other rights conflict with mine, that’s
ok as long as my views don’t conflict with theirs. I have to love everyone else’s
views and try to incorporate them into my life. If I don’t accept these other
views, then I am labeled a hater and I am encroaching on their civil liberties.
My tolerance is to be encapsulated in
love because “That’s what Jesus would do”. Everything I work for is supposed to
be shared with the “less fortunate” people and I am not to complain on how they
use it. “We are all created equal and deserve to have the same advantages as everyone
else.”
I strongly disagree! This is not the Spirit of Christ but
instead the spirit of an anti-Christ.
It has been rumored for years that former
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev stated before a visit to America:
“We cannot expect the
Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected
leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they suddenly awake
to find they have communism.”
What is currently happening in our nation not a new concept
and or strategy. It is a concept that can be traced back to Adam and Eve, as we
see in Genesis 3.
1 The serpent was
the shrewdest of all the wild animals the LORD God had made. One day he asked
the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees
in the garden?” 2 “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the
garden,” the woman replied. 3 “It’s only the fruit from the tree in
the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must
not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’” 4 “You
won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. 5 “God knows that
your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God,
knowing both good and evil.” 6 The woman was convinced. She saw
that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the
wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she
gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too.
God the Father was trying to teach man early on that not
everything belongs to man to have. And that there is a reason for this. That reason
is that it is not good for us.
We as humans have an insatiable hunger for what we can’t
have, an overpowering jealousy of others’ possessions and an adulterated desire
to get it “all”, no matter what. And the more level the playing field, the better we think we will all be. This kind of thinking produces a socialistic outlook. And this outlook has impregnated our country, our school, our homes and our lives. We are no longer drifting away from sound biblical doctrine, hard core patriotism and Godly values; friends, we are running from them. We are padding our lives with "tolerance" and "love" and forgetting to "eschew evil" as Job did. If we don't stop this obsession that is plaguing our lives, grab a knee and pray for forgiveness, healing and leadership of the Holy Spirit; this country will fall.
The late pastor Dr. Peter Marshal stated it correctly: "if we don't stand for something, we will fall for anything". Its time to make a stand for Truth!
Exodus 32:26 "....who is on the Lord's side.........."
Micah 6:8 … the LORD has told you what is good, and
this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with your God.
