       We Must Not Remain Silent

       “So you, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of
       Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give
       them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you
       shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to
       turn from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity,
       but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the
       wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way;
       he shall die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your
       life.”
       [move](Ezekiel 33: 7-9)[/move]
       These words are both hopeful and at the same time a stern
       warning to all of us if we choose to remain silent in the midst
       of the swirling winds of evil. When we look at these words from
       Ezekiel closer, we can see how much they relate to our lives
       today and what’s been happening every day on the streets, in our
       schools, workplaces, and yes, even in our very own churches.
       We need to understand that there is hope first off in these
       words. The hope that they offer us is the fact that it’s our
       purpose on this earth to try and combat evil at all levels, but
       first must start at the bottom with those around us who have
       either lost their way because of falling for the temptations of
       Satan or they’ve never been able to find the right path that
       leads to Christ. Either way, it’s our duty to try and reach out
       to these lost souls. Because if we can get them to turn around,
       there’s still hope for them which in turn means there’s still
       hope for us. It’s a reassuring thing to know that God will
       forgive us as long as we recognize our sins and just turn back
       to Him.
       It is also our duty to be vigilant and fight back against those
       who would want to destroy us, our families, our schools, our
       churches, and our country which is under siege right now by
       evil. They are trying to remove God from our lives inch by inch.
       Every time you turn around they’ve removed God from the
       equation, and you know who “they” are, our schools, workplace,
       even in the “public square”. But even worse, their wicked
       ideology is even seeping through the cracks in our very own
       churches!
       It should be disturbing to any devout Christian when they hear
       about pastors that stand side by side with Black Lives Matter,
       Inc.(who openly admit that they are a Marxist organization.) Do
       these so-called “men of God” not know what Marxism is? Do they
       not know that by endorsing such an organization they are signing
       a pact with the devil himself? Do they not realize that by
       standing along side this kind of an organization is ushering in
       the destruction of the “Church” itself?!
       It should be disturbing to any Christian to realize that there
       are pastors out there that are making their parishioners recite
       and respond to,  as if it were a prayer, a mantra that admits to
       their “white privilege” and that they need to denounce their
       “white privilege” and admit that it’s this “white privilege”
       that has caused racism!
       It also should be quite disturbing for anyone who is a Catholic
       to know that their own leader takes advice from a man who fully
       supports both Antifa and BLM! That should make many wonder just
       how deep has Satan reached in our churches.
       As Christians, no matter what religion, it is our duty to stand
       up against this type of behavior. What they are doing is not
       glorifying God, instead it’s doing just the opposite. Christ
       calls all of us to speak out against such things as this and
       those who we speak out against and refuse to turn around to get
       back to the right path, that’s not our problem because at least
       we tried to warn them against the wickedness they are
       performing.
       If we don’t stand up and speak out against what’s going on
       around us that we know for sure is not what God wants for us,
       our families, or our country is going to put our own lives in
       danger of being lost. For when we remain silent God sees it the
       same as if we were complicit
       Remember that Christ is looking down at us right now and He sees
       it all and it must truly break His heart to see what the world
       has become. The darkness that is trying to engulf all of us is
       darkening by the moment and it must bring Him to His knees
       before His Father in deep sorrow as He weeps for each and every
       one of us. Let us stop breaking His heart and do what we can to
       fight the evil and to stand up for His glory!
