Great presentation of the enemies’ (and THE enemy’s) playbook in weakening the church. The strength of our culture (or the culture we want…free, flourishing, and God-fearing) begins with our pulpits having spines. Wherever Paul went after his conversion, riots happened bc of his boldness in telling the truth. Christ was clear that He came to not bring peace with the unbelieving world but rather the sword of sharp, cutting division (Matthew 10:34). There must be a swift and clear mark of division between the church and the culture. We, like Paul, don’t need to physically fight, riot, etc. We just need to present the truth in love and boldness. Our battle is on God’s playing field with His armor on loan to us. We are to stand firm, by God’s grace.
“The Word of God is like a lion. You don’t have to defend a lion. All you have to do is let the lion loose, and the lion will defend itself.”
Amen. I think Michael Clary (the author) is one of the finest Christian writers of our time. He has a book out now that’s a must-read, and I look forward to his next 100.
👏👏👏 A phenomenal article by Michael Clary that takes a courageous stand against Maoist-like censorship within the Evangelical Church! Thank you to Dr. Martin for republishing it!
It becomes a situation of truly “enduring to the end” to resist the Woke agenda at church. You will be stamped with the scarlet letter A because you are an adulterer of The Church, which is being transformed from a place where sinners go to repent, to a place where they go to be recognized. The newly recognized “victims,” which are often feminist with a wimpy hubby in tow, pridefully rise up in their self emulation. A friend of mine was castigated for saying the trans movement was against biblical truth. She was so humiliated, she sold her home to move to a more conservative state. This was very difficult for her as she was in her eightieth decade of life. She lost her husband right after they moved, and people still talk about her as if she committed a heinous sin that Jesus couldn’t possibly have atoned for.
The apostle Paul tells us exactly what to do in Ephesians 6: 10-20 “The whole armor of God.”
Yes, but that primarily applies to the one being struggle-sessioned. I think we could readily find other verses for the perpetrators.

“TRUTH” … for some odd reason it has become Hate Speech.
