The Political Animal

One of my biggest ways I waste of time is watching SJW videos on YouTube. I keep asking myself, ‘How much dumber/more bizarre/crazier/weirder can they get?’ They seem to be taking it as a challenge. The Left keeps getting more and more and more radicalized and I find it just that much more entertaining.

There are many, many people leaving the Left everyday and I saw one named, Brandon Straka (walkawaymovement.com) get interviewed by Mike Huckabee a couple weeks ago. He realized that in order to be on the left or to be called a “liberal” he had to be anti-American and violent and seek to actually silence other people. So he walked away from them. He came-out as a gay man to people on the Right and was not attacked or hated by people who were “conservative”. David Rubin of the Rubin Report has had a similar experience and his response has been documented in the following video entitled, Why I Left the Left:

Both Mr. Rubin and Mr. Straka have realized something significant that I also saw early during Mr. Obama’s (and Biden’s) election. That is, to be a “liberal” does not mean the same thing it meant when I was growing up. To be a member of the Left, is be a member of a group where violence and hatred are supported.

However recently, I was contemplating this while driving and the Lord put a large burden on my mind and heart.

It is easy to become wrapped up in these issues of politics and dreams and visions about the future of the United States and the desire to see our country be, “great again”. I realize that Jack Philips (the baker who was attacked for not making cakes for gay weddings) is contemplating this everyday and so are others as everyday someone of  faith is harassed as their Constitutional rights are challenged.

However, we have to always remember that our fights are not against flesh and blood but against “…against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12).

We also must remember that we are called to radical love in the midst of confrontation and challenge with anyone. Allow me to repeat that.

We are called to love our enemies radically, in the midst of confrontation and challenge. 

That cannot happen without power given from on high. We cannot do it ourselves. We need to ask and be given that love. 

We need to love and pray for the Satanists who erected the statue to Satan in Arkansas. We are to love  and pray for those who sue us for not supplying cakes for gay weddings or transgender transformation (if you decide that is what the Lord wants you to do). We are to love and pray for those who attack us for holding Bible studies on our property. We are to love and pray for Ruth Bader Ginsberg, despite the fact that she supports abortion and just about every far-Left perspective/agenda/cause. We are to love the Antifa member, the cross-gender person who does not understand what they are doing to their own bodies, and others.

Remember: First and foremost you are not a Republican, a Democrat, or even an American. First, you are a child of the most-high God and are called to love others as one. 

Maybe you are a person of faith like David Rubin or Brandon Straka were. Maybe you consider yourself a Liberal, even today. Then you are still called by the Lord to love unconditionally those who you disagree with. Before you are a Liberal, you are called to be a child of the most-high God and to love others as one.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
