And yet we see it happening on a regular basis.
Like I said, we have the words, but the words have become empty chants and mantras we sing at each other.
And nearly daily, people get demonitized on youtube for daring to speak against The Narrative; blogs are yanked off the web because not PC enough; people disinvited from speaking engagements because someone complained their not leftist enough; people harassed and hounded in their homes after being doxxed for supporting Trump or for posting a meme that was critical of the left, and on and on and on. Not to mention all those beaten in the streets for daring to wear a MAGA hat in public.
No man owns anything he is not willing to fight to keep.
I would argue no man owns anything....after all ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature” (Luke 8:14)
Yet...it is for us to stand and profess the truth.
I care not that another fail to provide me monetary gain for my words...or provide it for those who rail against the truth. I know the truth and the Lord, who triumphs.
I’m as practical as the next man and fight to ensure my family’s liberty as I can in the day to day world of the short game. Work hard, love those around you, live within your means, and praise God.
The long game isn’t our fight. We have only to ensure our faith and offer it to those we love. Evil will fail in the end. In our lifetime, unlikely, but possible. But the endgame, independent of the century, shall be sweeter than honey.
To be honest my greatest fear is that my wife and children do not make it into Heaven. I fear I’ve failed in my duty as a husband and father in educating and guiding them in the Word.
I’ll live my life and speak my words as I please. Should another “silence” me, I’ve still spoken. Should another cut me down, I’ve still lived.
