I respectfully disagree. We have one play left before doing that. We have to treat the political battle like it really is -- an extension of a larger spiritual war. Today's Dims are anti-church and require people bow to their cult religion -- just like the Jacobins.

One thing we have on our side that the Christians in 18th century France did not, is we're not dealing with a stain of a control-freak church intertwined with government. It was hard for the true Christians in France to convince people to stick to Jesus and love God and others -- when the church was part of the oppressive government. Christians in the U.S. today don't have that hurdle. We should take advantage of this opportunity to remind people that the anti-Christians are in charge of our ever oppressing government. We should ask people how hedonism is working out for them and their community.

This is too herculean a war to win without the Lord. We have to arm up with God's Spirit more than anything else. And that means playing God's long game (helping win the spiritual war).

I respectfully disagree back at you (I think).;-)

If you are saying that we have a functioning, true believing Christian church (collectively) in this country, I think you are (mostly) incorrect.

I think the churches have gone Woke too. And the ones that haven't gone Woke are filled with people who don't want to rock the boat.

Have I misunderstood your point?

Remember that the Lord may work with only a Remnant.
