A Perverse Declaration of Independence

Dec 21, 2023 | Article

America’s founding documents are masterpieces of reason and the application of truth from the minds of men well-schooled in classical philosophy and the Christian Scriptures. The fruit of their wisdom and their labors was the growth of a nation, under God, more free and more blessed in its goodwill and prosperity than any nation before it. There may never be anything like it again in this present evil world.

But our past and our present is under assault by intellectual and spiritual gnomes eager to be loosed from all constraints imposed by an ultimate authority they bitterly despise. Both the evil and the genius of these lackeys of Lucifer is evident in the diabolical impetus of their planning, its long-term horizon, and its destructive force in employing every immoral and amoral device to trash everything standing in the way of independence from our history and from our God.

Their primary focus is always the Christian heartland of America, by seduction, by intimidation and by deceit. They have been hugely effective in the dumbing down and coarsening of our populace by decades of assault on our formal education and by the perversion of our morals and values through corrupt media that entertain and misinform us. 

The greatest victories have come against our churches. There was a day in our history when it was said of our churches that their pulpits flamed with righteousness! “America is great because she is good,” was the inference drawn by Alexis de Tocqueville, in 1831. But he warned, “If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

Today, failing Christian communities and the church buildings their dwindling numbers occupy bear testimony to their ignorance of the Frenchman’s prophetic insight. Both pulpit and people are flaccid, faded images of what once was, no longer Christ-centered but slaves to prosperity and promoters of notions about social activism that replace the Gospel imperative of repentance with the effete allure of tolerance. 

At this critical time in our history, it is not Republicans or Democrats who will save us, but a fresh commitment to the God of our Fathers by those who still call on the name of Christ.
