The war between good and evil continues, even though God is sovereign and the outcome is not in doubt. Nevertheless, “The devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” We are born again in Christ, but we are still besieged. Sometimes we win. Often we fail. When we fail we are sent to the field hospital, we confess, we repent, are forgiven by the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, and are sent back into the fight.
All well and good, but in the trenches, the battle is political. It is the U.S. supplying and supporting Israel as they ethnically cleanse Gaza. It is the United States sacrificing a generation of Ukrainian young men in order to destroy Russia for the sin of not bowing to American hegemony. It is America that is surrounding China with military bases and using Taiwan as a proxy to threaten China for the crime of becoming prosperous and powerful.
It is the United States of America that is fighting a rear guard action to the death to prevent the emergence of a new multi-polar world order in which there is equality of national sovereignty.
The pulpit cannot be the platform for advancing sides in this political war. All true Christians agree about the real struggle., but not necessarily about the political specifics. We are fish swimming in a sea of propaganda. The only sure truth is the Gospel.
