There is a cultural and political war being waged by the secular Left against the Gospel, Christians, and specifically against the teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They are trying to recast Christ as a “woke” socialist who favors open borders and aborting innocent children.

Since March 1, there has been a wave of threats and terrorist attacks on our homeland. As Christians, we should not let this violence cause us to embrace fear or hatred. But we must understand what motivates these attacks.

We live in anxious and dangerous times. Throughout history, in times like these, our leaders relied on God. General George Washington prayed at Valley Forge with his troops, exhausted, shoeless, and facing the powerful British army. Americans North and South prayed during the carnage of the Civil War, during which 600,000 men fell in combat in a war to end the sin of slavery. Franklin Delano Roosevelt—FDR—led the country in prayer on national radio on D-Day to rescue Europe from Hitler and the Nazis. Sadly, America is not as Christian today as we have been in the past. This is troubling, and we are weaker because of it. We need God’s hand of protection now more than ever. There are signs of a budding revival, thankfully—only time will tell.
