Yes, if a truly born again Christ follower who faithfully believes and lives Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 they ought to be keenly paying attention to the times in which they live. Not obsessed. Not making the politics of the age their priority — but definitely paying attention, being aware, doing some homework that requires more than pressing a button on a television remote, or speaking into a remote to have a TV go to the channel of choice.
Understanding history. Understanding definitions and what is taking place. Not relying upon worldly wisdom in order to discern well and correctly. Relying faithfully upon the inerrant infallible living and active Word of God and the Holy Spirit to guide, to teach, to instruct and aid. In everything.
Be always prepared to give a defense of THEE faith. Be always prepared for the Lord’s return looking heavenward. Equipped for the day whatever it brings. Either opportunity to spread the gospel, be engaged in a truthful conversation with someone, or to have your individual soul, life ready to meet the Lord.
The American church, the Western church is a shambles. Not necessarily following Marxism as is stated by so many writers and speakers — I contend we drop the political labels which lay the cause at the feet of that labeled ideology and place responsibility where it needs to be placed. The influence of evil, of Satan and his ministers to have worked their way into the church for so many decades now. Their lies misdirecting attention from them and onto a political agenda, or a cultural problem that people then turn their attention to and begin offering up all manner of fixes.
Fix the internal individual heart, spirit, soul, mind, and life with God, for God, with the Lord Jesus Christ, for the Lord Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, for the Holy Spirit all accomplished, only accomplished by having a daily working knowledge and understanding of God’s Word. All of it. Not just the one minute with the Bible. A daily devotion. A devotion to the words of God since identifying as a child of God, as a disciple of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Easy to get lost, sidetracked, distracted in the bog, the swamp, the jungle, the babel of gridlock prevailing today. All part of the work of Satan and his ministers. Make noise. Add to the confusion. Keep the lies and distractions coming. So folks are kept from the simple and only fix that can truly fix anything — faith in God. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith in the Holy Spirit. Faith in the whole Word of God.
Able to fell and overcome every evil on earth.

Then engage. Fight the good fight. Be the light, the salt, the noticeable disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ rather than a such and such Republican, Democrat, this or that label affixed. Affix the ways and words of the Lord in our hearts, our minds, our spirits, and souls in the knowledge and understanding we’re but pilgrims here, sojourners, and our focus ought to be heaven and fulfilling the Great Commission. Spreading the gospel while living as best we can for the Lord.

Wake Up, Church!
Monday, June 17, 2024
By Joy Lucius
Reprinted from The Daily Stand
“I am convinced that the American church has arrived at an impossibly, almost unbearably significant moment of truth.”
With these compelling words, radio host Eric Metaxas opens Letter to the American Church, a new film adaptation of his book with the same title. In this documentary, Metaxas and other conservative voices expose America’s growing threat of cultural Marxism.
With concise precision, the film defines Marxism and traces its all-encompassing roots from Nazi Germany to Russia and China, and then viewers discover that modern, woke ideologies are only twisted versions of classic Marxism – the same poison in a different package.
Examining the past
The film also parallels eerie similarities between today’s American church and German churches during the 1930s, when churches remained virtually silent as Nazism took root and grew.
“The Germans didn’t see it coming,” Metaxas told The Stand. “They were just like we are. In 1933, they never dreamt where it was going. Therefore, the church was silent, silent, silent.
“I saw the parallels so dramatically in recent years in the American church. We’ve drifted away from the truth. We’re not aware of it, and we have to wake up … because the hour is very, very late.”
Through this film, Metaxas – along with Charlie Kirk, Rob McCoy, Dr. James Lindsay, Victor and Eileen Marx, and John K. Amanchukwu Sr. uncovers the systematic, threefold mission of cultural Marxism in America: Destroy the church, the family, and the economy.
This contemporary Marxist mission has simply assumed new cultural causes to camouflage its agenda within every aspect of American society. Accordingly, speakers in the film elucidate hot-button topics within this modern agenda. These culturally divisive tools specifically exploit gender and race through frameworks such as critical race theory (CRT) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Issuing a call
Compared to Germany’s timeline of totalitarianism, Metaxas believes the current Marxist mission of American destruction is near completion – unless the church takes an urgent stand.
“I am very, very blunt about this,” Metaxas stated. “We have literally around a year. …We are at the edge of the precipice. We are going over the precipice. If we don’t wake up now, it’s over.”
American churches are waking up to this imminent demise – but not quickly enough. Therefore, screenings of the film are offered free to churches.
“Let me be clear,” warned Metaxas. “We’re in a war, and if enough churches don’t wake up, … at some point, the evil wins, and you’re done.”
America is not done yet. But to preserve this nation’s godly heritage for the next generation, Metaxas says the church must be salt and light.
“Anybody who calls himself a Christian,” he explained, “this is for them. This is for those who say, ‘I’m a Christian.’ I say, ‘OK! You are the church, and God wanted me to write this for you.’
“The church is always called to come out of the church building and into every single sphere in the culture, to bring God’s values into politics, into culture, into education, into medicine, and into the courts. Everywhere. That is our job.”
To do its crucial job, the church must immediately answer the call to action resounding throughout Letter to the American Church.
