I just finished reading an incredible book DARK AGENDA: The War to Destroy Christian America by David Horowitz. Horowitz is a Jewish agnostic who has written extensively on the left's attacks on America and Christianity. In this book he explains how the left has worked tirelessly to promote their radical agenda that will forever alter our nation. Much of their efforts have been directed towards attacking the Christian doctrines that have been foundational to our nation's past success.
The divisions that exist in our nation today run deep. Although conservatives, and especially Christians are blamed for these divisions, much of it is due to the left's commitment to transforming America through any means possible. Anyone who opposes or in any way disagrees with the "social justice" agenda of the left is attacked, marginalized, and maligned. This has had a chilling effect on any attempt to dialogue on the issues or try to reach any type of compromise on the issues. A great example of this is the recent CNN commentator's response to a statement made by a GOP campaign veteran. Rather than discuss his statement she went on the attack saying that "the greatest terrorist threat in this country is white men who think like you." How does this lead to any discussion on any issue? It doesn't, but such rhetoric continues to divide the nation.
Although I have long been aware of what is going on in America I had never read anything that so clearly detailed how committed the left was to impose their agenda on this country and how effective they had been. Whatever your opinion is about President Trump, one reason he has been under such attack since being elected president is because he stands in the way of the left being able to continue to push their agenda on the nation. The radical left will not allow anyone or anything stand in their way.
This is also why they attack Evangelical Christianity with a vengeance. Since they could not achieve their goals through public opinion or by state statute they turned to the Supreme Court who could change the laws impacting the entire nation simply by convincing six unelected lawyers of the merits of their case. This attack began by removing prayer and Bible reading from the public school. In many school districts in the nation today students can be taught about Islam but not Christianity. They continued their onslaught against traditional values by convincing the court to legalize abortion and changing concepts of marriage that had been understood for centuries throughout the world. They are not done yet.
Horowitz details in the book how the radical left continues to shape our nation by forcing their agenda on the nation furthering dividing it. They will use any means possible to succeed including the courts, the media, violence, and constant attacks on anyone who opposes them. This includes conservative Christians who do not accept their view of a better America.
Many, including some Christians, wonder why Evangelical Christians support Trump. It's not because they approve of his lifestyle or choices he has made in the past. They support him because they share a common agenda with him which is stopping the radical left from doing further damage to our nation. However, conservative Christians must understand that a man cannot solve our nation's problems nor return us to traditional values.
The White House cannot save us, the state house cannot save us, the courthouse cannot save us. Only God can turn this nation around. 2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us that when Christians confess their sins, pray and humbly seek God He will hear and heal their land. We need a spiritual revival to sweep through our nation, and that begins within the church and the hearts of individual Christians. We need to know what the enemy is doing, and this book does a great job of detailing that, but we must place our hope in God. He alone can turn our nation back to what it once was.
