  • Nihilism’s Collapse Into Totalitarianism

    by

    From the time that German philosopher Fredrick Nietzsche announced the death of God in the late 19th century, we have seen an ever rapid moral decline of humanity. Over the past 100 years we have witnessed the increase in nihilism and the deterioration of civil society, and now we are witnessing the pinnacle of its modern day reign.

    As history repeats itself time and time again, so we see this nihilistic behavior of ideologically possessed individuals escalating to the point of a complete collapse of America itself. This pattern of increase social discord occurred before in the Soviet Union with the Russian Revolution led by Lenin. And again it occurred in China during the Chinese Communist Revolution led by Mao. And again in Germany with the Nazi Revolution. All three occurrence took place during chaotic times where uncertainty loomed and nihilism reigned.

    After these brief years of radical revolutions, nihilism soon collapsed upon itself to give rise to tyrannical order in which millions of lives were lost through the means of execution and starvation. The same underlying ideology that possessed these revolutions is the same that possess the radicals today. A bizarre blend of Marxism and Nazism are what make up this modern day revolution, and they only have one goal in mind; that is total control and the full implementation of their corrupted ideology upon society.

    As Christians witnessing these chaotic forces of darkness work in our cities, we should feel compelled to not only pray for our nation and world, but to stand up against these tyrannical forces. We should be courageous in the face of evil and stand firm on the truth that holds us up.

    We are not called to be passive, but to be bold and courageous. We are not called to be silent in times of uncertainty, but to proclaim the truth to the lost world around us. We are not called to applaud those that cause destruction under the guise of social justice warriors, but to inform ourselves about their true motives and denounce evil.

  • The Glorification Of Emotional Expression

    by

    Our culture today glorifies the amplification of emotional expression while disregarding the necessity and validity of empirical evidence. The emphasis on emotional expression and the constant need to acquire validation, entertainment and stimulation is the very essence and nature of immaturity. This scenario was accurately predicted approximately 2,000 years ago by Paul in his second letter to Timothy:

    “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”
    ‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭3:1-5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    Not only has this corruption taken over our secular culture, but it has also seeped in and devoured much of the modern day church as well. The constant emphasis on grace apart from the necessity of growth and transformation has nestled comfortably within the pulpit. The falsified conceptualization of a judgment free environment where sins of various kinds are nullified, and in some cases almost entirely extinguished from the minds of those that occupy the pews.

    When churches are applauding and elevating homosexuality and transgenderism as an example of godliness and courage, we have not only allowed sin to overtake us, but essentialism of biblical facts is but a byword. If the church is so easy to accept sin, or to accept radical ideologies that underlie such movements as Black Lives Matter, what makes one think we will not just as easily accept the antichrist’s coming with the same applause and elevation?

  • Attention: Christians Seeking Unity

    by

    Attention: This is for all Christians who support the Black Lives Matter movement, and that seek to “create social justice” for all. If your desire is to make a difference in the world, then you must step away from the Marxist group as their views and ideology do not line up with scripture. Next, in order to make a difference you must go out in the power of the Holy Spirit and be a light in the darkness, not follow it. Now, here are solutions to problems facing both whites and blacks derived from the word itself. Meditate on these things, and then go and make a difference.

    The Past Issues of Slavery:

    “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

    Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV

    Forgiveness, not resentment is the answer to moving forward in life. The more we hold on to past problems, the greater those problems become. The more we focus on Christ, the more love, peace and joy are instilled within us, and the more we move forward towards peace and prosperity for all.

    Seeking Reparations:

    ““You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.”

    Matthew 5:38-42 NKJV

    Forgiveness and love is the best reparations, not anger and resentment. Seeking revenge is the devils due, and is the opposite of the character of Christ and a Christ centered life.

    White Privilege:

    “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

    Galatians 3:28-29 NKJV

    White privilege is a racist term, period. We should never feel ashamed of who God has created us to be. We should be ashamed of faults conducted in the past and learn from them, but never hold onto them and allow guilt to negate the grace of God.

    Seeking True Unity:

    “Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

    Colossians 3:12-17 NKJV

    In order to find unity in the church and the world as a whole, we must look past color and differences towards Christ Himself. Only when we focus on differences do differences amplify themselves which in due process causes division. A singular focus on Christ and His love and forgiveness is the only way in which we can discover unity, not through the means of an ungodly ideology.

    Black Lives Matter:

    “Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.

    But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.”

    Jude 1:8, 10-11 NKJV

    This racist group is the root of the chaos we see manifesting itself throughout America and the world. Groups as such are rooted within a corrupted ideology that costs millions of lives in the Soviet Union and Mao’s China, and that promotes division of groups and forced equality of outcome that negates competence and skill on an individual basis. They are against the nuclear family dynamics that has been proven to be essential in proper child development and the ultimate prosperity of society as a whole.

  • Beacons of Enlightenment

    by

    Mistakes are beacons of enlightenment that guide us towards our ideal self. When we encounter mistakes, it is best to take a moment to examine the mistake at hand by breaking it down into more manageable subcomponents to best understand why the mistake occurred and how best to avoid it the next time around.  

    Stillness and meditation are essential, not only to examine what our ideal self is, but what is hindering us from obtaining the ideal and how we should address the hindrances. Extract that which is unnecessary, and expound on those things which help you excel. 

    “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.”

  • The Collapse Of America

    by

    Nothing and no one is perfect. This evident fact goes for people, history, government, etc. What we are currently witnessing in our American society as well as throughout the world is not about racism at all, but rather about control by radical groups and their instantiation of their corrupted ideological framework.

    Tearing down statues that are deemed “racist,” and yet are foundational to western society is a show of power to rewrite history with their own corrupted ideology. Those they deem as racist were the founders of our great country and western society itself.

    Were they perfect people? No, of course not. My question to the radicals is, “Are you perfect?” The answer is simple-no, not even close. Perhaps according to their faulty ideal that is utterly incoherent with reality, but as to what we see in the streets and universities, we know that they are furthest from an ideal, universal moral standard.

    These radicals have been spoiled by the same system they are trying to take down. Taking for granted the hard work and sacrifice of their forefathers, they seek to demolish this sacrifice for a “utopian” idea that is rooted in corruption and that has failed many times over.

    The major difference between the men and women who founded our country and society was that they acted courageously against corruption, not immature children seeking to get everything they wanted. These men and women protected their fellow citizens, not harm them and burn their own towns down. These men and women stood against tyranny, not promote it. These men and women sought for the betterment of society according to the ultimate ideal presented by Christ, not for their own self interest.

    Not only is history not perfect but it repeats itself as well. What is currently taking place has already been done in the Soviet Union where up to 50 million people died of starvation and through the means of execution.

    Again we see the same scenario played out in China where some estimates of 100 million people were killed off.

    Again we see these radical ideas manifest themselves in Venezuela where a once prosperous country came under the tyrannical reign of a dictatorship and where people are starving to death.

    Again we see this corrupted ideological framework playing itself out in America-except this time it hasn’t become fully manifested and as Americans we still have the opportunity to stop it. Let us stand against the corruption and let democracy continue to reign.

  • The Fallacy Of The Pre-Tribulation Rapture View

    by

    The Fallacy Of A Pre-Tribulation Rapture View:

    A vast majority of the church is unfamiliar with end time prophecy for a variety of reasons, and yet most claim that the pre-tribulation rapture is the primary reason. Why study prophecy when you won’t be around to witness any of it? It wasn’t always this way.

    Until the 1800’s no one really thought in terms of a pre-tribulation rapture. But once John Nelson Derby coined the term in the early 1800’s and promoted the idea of an escape from the evil that is to come, people flocked to this idea and still hold on tightly to it to this day. But does this view hold any validity, or is it mere wishful thinking?

    ““Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

    Matthew 24:29-31 NKJV

    The problem lies within the Day of The Lord and the wrath to come being equated to that of the tribulation era, and yet this couldn’t be further from the truth. The wrath of God is to be poured out on the unbelievers following the tribulation era while the tribulation era itself is the wrath of the antichrist poured out on believers. During the tribulation era, those that submit to the antichrist and beast will live prosperously in the new “utopian” society, that which the radical left is so desiring to accomplish at this very moment.

    “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”

    II Thessalonians 2:3-4 NKJV

    As Paul states here, the falling away and the rise of the Antichrist must occur prior to the wrath of God being poured out upon the world. The falling away has already began throughout the world as the decline of Christianity has increased with each new generation, and this will only increase after the utopian society is completed and a cashless society prevails, and all those that believed in a pre-tribulation rapture lose hope and submit themselves to this new system.

    Stated several times throughout the New Testament is that the Day of The Lord is simultaneous with that of the last trumpet, which again occurs after the tribulation era. This trumpet is described as the seventh trumpet in the book of Revelations which following the trumpet Christ appears to gather His people and bring about judgment on the world, and then the 1,000 year reign of Christ is initiated.

    “Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

    I Corinthians 15:51-52 NKJV

    As daunting as this news may be to some, it should by no means discourage as we have the Lord on our side, and we will ultimately prevail at the end of it all. If we are indeed in the last times as though it seems, we should then orient ourselves appropriately by standing boldly before the opposition and defending the faith courageously. We shouldn’t sit by ideally and allow evil to prevail, but rather fight the good fight as soldiers of Christ.

  • The Rise Of The New World Order

    by

    “The COVID-19 pandemic has made the promise of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs [Sustainable Development Goals] more relevant and vital than ever,” Mohammed said Friday.

    We must understand what is going on behind the scene of both the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. This is not about politics but goes much deeper than that. The world is ran by much more powerful people than the puppets portrayed in governmental institutions, and the goals that are being pushed by the UN are aimed at the ideal of a global government.

    What we are currently witnessing is a game driven by the higher authorities and is what was prophesied in Revelations as the rise of the beast, that is the one world system. We will not have to wait too much longer before cash is deemed as an agent of the spread of Covid-19 and marked as unessential, and the cashless society is formed.

    We must be aware of the dangers that surround us and of that which lies ahead. For those that claim that we do not have worry about those things due to the pre-tribulation rapture are sorely mistaken. The pre-tribulation rapture was a false idea promoted within the church during the 1800’s and will be what causes many to fall away during the tribulation as the rapture does not occur.

    ““Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

    Matthew 24:29-31 NKJV

    The rapture is specifically located at the end of the tribulation time and time again throughout scripture. The tribulation is not the wrath of God, but rather the wrath of the antichrist. Just as in the days of Stalin, those who worshipped him and submitted to the corrupt ideology were accepted and thrived. And yet those that rejected him were either exiled into Siberia and starved to death, or they were executed.

    The same will be the case during the tribulation as the utopian one world society will seem as paradise on earth and those who subject to its rule and take the mark of the beast will enjoy its benefits. And yet those that reject will be starved to death (as they will not be able to buy or sell) or be executed.

    It is time for the church to not hide behind the false hopes of the pre-tribulation rapture and stand up against the opposition like faithful servants of Christ. It is time to inform those that are within the faith of what is to come, and at the same time inform those that are lost of the hope that awaits all of those that put their trust in Christ.

  • These Times We Inhabit

    by

    These are the times we are currently inhabiting; times of chaos and that of lawlessness. A time where people are possessed by radically corrupted ideologies rather than the truth. A time when people seek out stimulation rather than knowledge and wisdom. A time when the facts only matter when it fits the narrative of your radicalized ideological framework rather than what correlates with reality itself. A time when when evil is seen as good, and good as evil.

    These are the times in which lawlessness abounds and the desire for freedom to sin is paramount. For Chistians, though, this is a time to stand boldly before the opposition and contend with the chaos in hopes to produce proper order, not according to one’s own ideal, but rather to that which best fits the narrative of reality itself.

    “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

  • The Nobility Of Being Good

    by

    There is a great difference between being a nice person and that of being a good person. The former is of a passive nature and lacks any real virtue, while the latter seeks to do good and make a difference in the lives of those around him or her. The concept of everyone being nice lacks any real value in correlation with reality. And yet when we strive to do good to all, we are adding value to the fabric of social order itself. It is good to be nice, but it is noble to be good and act upon that goodness.

  • The Power Of Ideas

    by

    Ideas can be overwhelmingly powerful. And with that power comes the potential to shape minds that go on to shape society. Although there is transforming potential within ideas, of what value they produce is deeply dependent upon the underlying nature and motives of the ideas. Precision of conceptualization of ideas and their outcome is of crucial importance. ⁣
    ⁣
    If an idea is founded upon virtuous character and the aim to ameliorate a set of values in order to improve societies state of being, then the idea has the potential of immense value, not only for the individual or group that formulated the idea, but for all people. ⁣
    ⁣
    But, if an idea is conceptualized with an underlying attitude of resentment and retaliation, then the results of the idea will more than likely be catastrophic for all people except those that conceptualized the idea. And this same thought process is what made manifest the execution and starvation of millions of people throughout the Soviet Union, China, and Nazi Germany. ⁣

    YouTube: The Power Of Ideas https://youtu.be/sowoIoF4Uh4

    Deep thought and the proper aim is essential to formulating ideas that go on to produce value, not only for the conceptualizer, but for society as a whole. What we are currently witnessing are ideas that are inherently founded on a Marxist philosophy of resentment and retaliation, and of which produces only chaos and the potential cost of millions of lives. ⁣
    ⁣
    To resolve an issue one must do proper research from all sides and not only that from a point of reference that helps justify their resentful behavior. Examining all levels of analysis can help shed greater light on an issue as well as manifest its proper resolution.
