I struggle with this myself and ask the Lord daily to lead me in these dark times. My heart tells me to spread the gospel, but it also knows that so many hearts are hardened to be deaf to the word. Satan rules this world and uses socialism as his instrument of slavery to sin. The church tells us followers to submit to the Lord's plan and accept whatever fate comes upon us, but as an American I cannot help but feel the need to stand and fight for our values, culture, and history for they are worth fighting for. My heart yearns for restoration to constitutional rule and to reject the mob just as I must also reject sin.

I respect the learned perspective of our religious leaders in the church and their righteous messages, those who are not tainted by the corruption of the enemy and stand firm in the unaltered word, and honor them by being cautious in my acts. But, to lay in wait and watch as the world burns, to me at least, is a sin in itself; to not defend God's work and protect what he has built is to dishonor his house.

Ultimately it is not a question of whether to fight, but when and how. It could be with weapons, or words, or other acts. I kneel before the Lord and ask him to lead me in the struggle and show me what acts I must do to glorify him. I feel many of us Christians are doing the same and waiting for the moment that his plan is revealed to each of us, uniquely, in the fashion that is best for us.

Praise be to God and his glory and God save America.
