Surge Summary: As pressure against God-centered, foundational Christian ideas continues and increases, Americans will be forced to decide which path they want to take. Will they go along with the march toward tyranny? Or stand up and challenge, “Enough is enough!”
by Karen Testerman
Times they are a changing. We are in what some call a digital war, some call it a spiritual war. It is clear whatever you call it that we are fighting for the soul of America. Will we remain one nation under God? Will we continue to believe in God we Trust? Or will we choose to be entitled, putting “what I want, and what I like, and what I deserve ahead of what I really need”.
Once again we are faced with choices. One of the exercises presented in the past was “If you were challenged to confess your belief in Jesus Christ or die, what would you chose? As the song goes, “I am not afraid of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It seems as though we are in such a time such as this, where we are called to choose which of the two paths to follow. In more recent times we are asked will you choose he red pill or the blue pill?
In reality, is this at the core of why we as a nation are so divided? In every circle of influence there is this concerted effort not to be confronted or labeled. It’s all about the victim. You see it in the riots and demonstrations. Black lives matter except when it comes to protecting the children in the womb. Certainly those who are most vocal use all manner of methods to intimidate. As long as the rhetoric emanates from their mouths, regardless of the color of their skin, it is to be honored or protected. After all it’s a First Amendment Right…freedom of speech. Don’ tread on me. Let me burn, loot or destroy. “I’m exercising my free expression.”
Put the shoe on the other foot and you are a bigot, a racist, hateful and discriminating. IF you dare to contribute a small amount to support a cause you believe is correct, like God’s definition of marriage, or IF you choose an alternate social media from Facebook or Twitter, those self-identified “tolerant” leftists will cause you to lose your employment or harass you or taunt you. Somehow you will be silenced by these “playground” bullies.
Today, we are witnessing another group of bullies. It’s coming from those elected officials who have found a method to keep us from engaging in social gatherings, be they secular or religious. Instill in the common man a fear of an unknown, or potential infection or worse yet that we might die. They tell you about this one element that could cause damage to our bodies, but the millions of other elements that are toxic don’t matter. Just this one! You must don a medical device to obscure your identity, even though the label on the outside of the box warns that the device is ineffective against THE element.
Science claim the authorities. However the proven psychological and physical damage is ignored until the development of an experimental injection with which your activities will be controlled. No more purchase, no more travel, no more food, or access to your bank or gym or restaurants.
WHEN will enough be enough! You are backed into a corner. Will you draw a line in the sand and begin to stand against such tyranny? All through my life it has been my experience that when I choose to walk away from the bullying tactics, the perpetrator keeps infringing on my space. It only ends when I push back. When I choose to take the red pill. When I choose to stand on my Biblical-world view principles. When I say NO MORE! And strangely, when I do make that choice, I find there is someone else willing to stand with me. How about you?
