It is just real dang convenient to tell Christians to get off their high horse while you negotiate with hardened terrorists in Iran.

It’s a put-on, and a complete distortion of reality, to proclaim, “God bless Planned Parenthood” – the same Planned Parenthood that is highly involved in the deaths of close to 58 million Americans in the womb.

There is a great classic rock song by The Who named “Eminence Front.”  It is music like this that helps one understand why subwoofers were invented.  The lyrics are worth a look.  The song is “about the facade one erects, or the pose one assumes, whether from pride, arrogance, insecurity or some other motive, in order to conceal his or her identity or essential self.”  Another source says this: “The song is a description of a party where everyone is trying to impress everyone else by acting fake.”  The song well describes our current White House occupants, along with the vast majority of politicians.  In the lyrics, The Who repeats the phrase “It’s a put on” multiple times.

There are volumes to be written on how we must deal with enemies and threats to our families and our country.  One side of the equation is best described by Martin Luther King who said:

To our most bitter opponents we say: "We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering.  We shall meet your physical force with soul force.  Do to us what you will, and we shall continue to love you.  We cannot in all good conscience obey your unjust laws because noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.  Throw us in jail and we shall still love you.  Bomb our homes and threaten our children, and we shall still love you.  Send your hooded perpetrators of violence into our community at the midnight hour and beat us and leave us half dead, and we shall still love you.  But be ye assured that we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer.  One day we shall win freedom but not only for ourselves.  We shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win you in the process and our victory will be a double victory.

The other side of the equation comes from the theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who risked and gave up his precious life in opposition to Hitler:

Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.  Not to speak is to speak.  Not to act is to act.

And his call to action:

If I see a madman driving a car into a group of innocent bystanders, then I can't as a Christian, simply wait for the catastrophe and then comfort the wounded and bury the dead.  I must try to wrestle the steering wheel out of the hands of the driver.

Great leadership is a key component of people shedding off the shackles of evil government and limiting it to its proper role.  Moses comes to mind in delivering the Israelites from Pharaoh, along with George Washington against the oppression of King George, and Churchill in overcoming Hitler.

When America jettisoned God in the 1960s, we also removed our understanding of evil that the Bible so profoundly provides.  The warriors of the Bible – David, Samson, Gideon, and many others – speak to the realities of evil and the need for good men to overcome it.

America as a whole continues to ignore God.  We do so to our own peril.
