OUT SMARTED BY THE UNRIGHTEOUS?

“for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.”
Jesus spoke those words in the Gospel of Luke the 16th chapter and the 8th verse.
This may seem like a strange comment coming from our Lord, but the context is clear.
The unjust steward was commended by his boss, (not by Jesus), because he made a wise move to secure his status among those he would have to live with once he was fired from his position.
Jesus encouraged us to be as wise, in that we should treat people kindly (make friends with them), so that they will care for us when we fail. (Verse 9).
Please note that nothing in the text indicates a compromise of truth and righteousness or an abandoning of holiness standards. It simply reminds us to be friendly and not unnecessarily offend and make ourselves enemies of those around us.
But that is not my focus in this article. I would like to discuss this text from another perspective. Just as some Christians (children of light), were careless about their relationships with the sinners around them in Jesus’ day, and did not wisely keep proper relationships with them, so they would be supported if or when they fail, as the unjust steward did, we Christians today, fail to be strategic like the Homosexuals and Atheists are in their efforts to persuade the masses to think and believe as they do.
Many of us foolishly misapply the teaching of Jesus to mean that we should be friendly and tolerant of perversion. But that was not Jesus’ message or his point in Luke 16.
While many Christian leaders are striving to play nice with homosexuals and atheists to the extent that speaking truth has become unloving, and exposing lies, taboo, (Isaiah 30:8-11), the unrighteous are as bold as ever, and they are using every crafty tactic known to rally support for their agendas.
They, unlike Christians, can fight dirty and so we had better get close enough to God to be able to hear from Him as to how we should move, fight and work. (Romans 8:14)
This is why true holiness is so important. Just playing church or living on the borderline will not get it. (Revelation 3:15-16) Satan and his demons know those who are real from those who are not, and so does God. (Acts 19:13-15, 2 Timothy 2:19)
If we as believers are going to stand against the evil to allow those who want to be saved to find redemption before Jesus returns, (yes, He is coming), we have got to be more prudent about how we deal with these crafty, ungodly people who really hate true Christianity, the Bible and God.
Leaving them alone to practice their craft on society is not an option for the Church. We are called to lead them and those who are influenced by them to the truth of God's word.
(Acts 13:6-13, 16: 16-18, 17:23, )
Last year, many believers were persuaded by the demonstrations by protester's claims to be concerned about immigrant rights, women's rights, "minority" rights etc., when in truth, many of them were using immigration, and every other righteous concern to rattle people to act up, to cause disruption and discredit conservative policies, to generate a bigger and bigger following for themselves. Their goal was to shut-up and shut down, anyone who dared to object to their leftist ideas, Open boarders, gender confusion, homosexuality, unnatural sex, abortion and other immoral acts and deeds.
Christians seem to forget that these kinds of people are high energy activists.
We are sleeping (1 Thessalonians 5) on their crafty methods to make immigrants, women and African Americans, Asians, and anyone who is or seems to be experiencing discrimination, think that they are fighting for their causes, when in truth they are doing so not only to endear themselves to groups with legitimate concerns so they can insist they support leftist causes, but also to use it as an opportunity to disrupt in order to hinder any attempted progress against their new morality and anti-God agenda.
Yes immigration is an important matter and we must deal with it wisely and fairly. And we must do all we can to help the good immigrants, WHILE NOT CATERING TO THE BAD. Have you notice how that aspect is almost always ignored by protesters and leftists TV announcers? That's because their goal is not to be accurate and honest, but to disrupt and misinform to push their agenda by any means necessary.
It is clear that something needs to be done about the openness of our country to criminal, violent and unstable outsiders seeking to and gaining entry to our country, the past administrations before President Trump left the door seemingly wide open and Trump tried to correct the problem, but our current leftists administration does not seem so interested.
We as citizens must insist that the current administration deal with the issue of immigration in a manner that will be best for us as American citizens first, and then for those decent immigrants who seek to become American citizens legally.
Certainly, our immigration system needs correction. But just as much caution and care must be put into how we go about making correction. If we allow those with harmful agendas to control how we act and react, we play right into their hands, and contribute to the problem more than to the solution.
President Trump’s goal was to see to the safety of our citizens first, but this was rarely if ever address by the protesters or the left media, and the few times it was, it was trivialized even though that is just as important as the President’s responsibility to do it in a way that will not hurt the innocent. Why was that?
Because many of those involved with the disruptions were either involved with the immigration corruption, were making money from the corruption or cared more about their agendas than they cared about our safety. But this was not discussed in the left media reporting.
And now that they have a dominant control over our media both regular and social, for the most part, only their side is being heard in far too many places. Even when they pretend to be allowing our side to be heard, it is controlled by them so that their narrative is what is heard.
And because the Church is so silent on the matter of what is really going on, many “conservative” Christians are left to the media and their influencing control. And they eventually start thinking like the “leftist” want them to think. Yes, Christians, watching TV and social media, are being conditioned to think like the leftist on major issues, and they don’t even seem to realize it.
I have personally experienced dialogue with people I knew for years who were conservative and who consider themselves to still be conservative who now defend leftists ideas they have gotten from the left media.
There is no question about it, they are crafty, they are hostile, and they are serious about taking full control of our country and running the biblical God and much He stands for out of town, and establishing their new morality, complete with their new reality.
During the 2021 elections, the voter fraud and last minute illegal regulation changes was a clear evidence of their lack of respect for due process. Add to that the way they have and are fighting to kill any serious investigations into the 2021 elections, and any honest person would understand the what we are facing as a nation.
Many of them are homosexual activists who join their organizations to other leftist groups to execute their agenda.
Some of the key homosexual organizations, with lots of money that are on the front line of changing our nation to suit their anti-God false reality are:
- Human Rights Campaign
- National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
- Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN)
- Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG)
- Lambda Legal
- ACLU Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Project
- Service members Legal Defense Network
- Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD)
- National Center for Lesbian Rights
- National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association
- Soulforce
- Gay & Lesbian Advocates and Defenders
Their people and associates were some of the ring leaders in the protests and they are very effective at playing friend to groups who are or think they are being mistreated by the government.
They are determined to shut true Christians up at any cost, and that includes any political official who even gives the impression that they are favorable to us, even up to the president, as most now see.
And I predict that now that we have allowed them to get this far, they will not allow us to regain moral control over the laws of our country. They will us violence if they see us taking back ground that they have worked so hard to take. If we should wake up and start speaking out like them, organizing like them and retaliating like them, however lovingly, (unlike them), they will escalate to violence because they cannot compete with truth and they know it.
That fear of violence has frightened many professing Christians and moral, conservative people into silence.
Just look at what was happening around our nation on our college campuses before the plandemic. These individuals were attacking in packs, forcefully stopping anyone who dared to express views that they did not like, even to the use of physical force so that many colleges simply banned anyone they thought would upset apparently unstable bullies.
Just keep them happy and we will have peace, so they thought. But all they were doing was encouraging them to be tyrannical and take what they want by force because it seems that good people don't have the guts to stand up in large numbers.
Thus they dominate our media, and on our college campuses, who opt to keep the peace by bowing to troublemakers to avoid the embarrassment of a demonstration. Isn't it time that we make it clear that we can make noise too?
And so what we saw on most TV and social media reports, was the kind of one sided reporting that was influencing people to think that President Trump was an evil, heartless, “racist” misogynistic, maniacal, tyrant, who wanted to destroy our good America by taking away the rights of homosexuals, women, immigrants and “minorities” especially African Americans.
And that it is the homosexuals, leftists and Democrats who are lovingly concerned about the interest of those mistreated groups.
What concerns me most is the apparent effectiveness of the one sided media reporting that is making many people think like they want them to think, and the apparent little effort being made by most who seem too busy to make the effort to hear from our side directly.
If you are getting your information from just about any of the major media, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, Time magazine, The Daily News, The Post, 1010 WINS, The New Yorker, The New Republic, the free (Pro homosexual) dailies Metro and AM New York etc., And just about all of the talk shows and social media, you are no doubt being heavily influenced to go with the protesters.
When I talk to people and hear them repeat almost the exact words that are being used by the dominate liberal media, to express what they believe and why, it is disturbing.
Hitler rose to power by means of the same blind willingness to accept what was fed to the masses by his propaganda machine, and when so many accepted it, the good people who knew he was wrong, chose to keep quiet and go along rather than get in trouble.
Have you noticed how they are trying to threaten us with trouble if we don’t shut up? But they are as loud as they want to be, and we don’t stand up for our right to expose their lies.
Those of us who do stand up and speak out find little support. Why, because we are living in the last days. And greed, popularity, money, success and easy street are more desired than God and his truth. Even among many of those who claim to love and serve Him. Is it any wonder why Jesus said:
“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:22
