It’s been a subtle shift of disunity over the years as God became degraded and discarded in our country and the two political sides became defined by whether they stood for godly principles. But two recent significant events have clarified and delineated the spiritual political divide: Covid and the disputed election.
Let’s start with Covid. A pandemic, like any traumatic event, should’ve united our country in fighting it together, but instead it divided us, even in the church. I wrote a few weeks ago about Don’t Let Vaccines Divide the Church, and then last year, Don’t Let Covid Divide the Church: We’re on the Same Team! But because Covid has been politicized, the country and the church are divided often along political lines. And we’ve let it happen. Lies from the media blame Conservatives and Christians for causing what they now refer to as the “unvaccinated pandemic,” when in actuality the highest number of unvaccinated are people of color regardless of party affiliation.
Democrat politicians show their ignorance about God by trying to claim that God wants everyone vaccinated and yet they’re the party that voted several years ago at their convention to take God out of policies and programs, even the Pledge of Allegiance. They wrongly think they can pretend to represent God now as they show their biblical ignorance by taking Scriptures out of context and trying to manipulate a Christian population they know nothing about.
It was the liberal blue state governors that forbid churches to meet during Covid lockdowns calling them nonessential and even imprisoning pastors and fining parishioners who defied them and met anyway. With never an apology, they think they can tell us they’re now speaking for God concerning His desire for vaccinations. Even going so far as to say you’re disobeying God if you don’t get the vaccine!
Which brings me to the next great divide: Diabolical progressives and godless liberal Democrats used Covid to perpetuate voter fraud and take control of our country, while falsely claiming to be the party of unity. Their idea of “unity” is agreeing with them or you lose your job, are fined, or even put in jail.
But good can never unite with evil, without denouncing faith.
14 Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? 2 Cor. 6:13-15 NLT
Let’s look at just some of the differences of Conservatives vs. Progressive Liberals (which have hijacked the Democrat party).
Conservatives Believe Progressive Liberals Believe
Sanctity of life protecting unborn babies Slaughter/sacrifice babies
Scientific biology of male and female Scalpels can change genders
Police/Military protection Defund police/woke military
Medical treatment is personal Government forced medicine
Following the Constitution Destroying the Constitution
A country with borders Borderless country
Freedom Mandates
Work ethic Social welfare
Democracy / civil rights Marxism/Communism
Against racism Critical race theory
Judeo/Christian foundation Godless government
God reigns Government rules
I’m sure you can think of even more differences like equality vs equity. But you get the point that there can never be a compromise, reaching across the aisle, or meeting of the minds with a political party or position that excludes God. We can never support a government that refuses to submit to godly principles and only uses God when politically convenient, but fundamentally wants to rule as gods themselves.
This radicalization has been slow in coming, but living up to their name, it’s been progressive. Several years ago, everyone was laughing at AOC and Bernie Sander’s “New Green Deal” and today it’s included in a massive spending bill before Congress with only two legislators holding out against it and progressives mad because the bill isn’t even bigger and include more socialism. And those two holdouts probably will go with the bill if the price tag is lowered, but it would still be a bill that allows the government to spy on your bank accounts, the IRS to harass you, tax your driving miles, and turn us into a socialist welfare state.
What’s Changed?
Over the years, we’ve watched the changes in government officials like Pelosi and Biden and the Democrat Party. They weren’t always totally godless as they are today, but they’ve succumbed to the alluring sin of power at any cost, even renouncing the ways of the God some claim to know. I don’t know the spiritual history of all the Democrats in Congress and the Senate, but no one in Congress who voted for the latest deceptively named “Women’s Healthcare Act” allowing babies to be killed up until birth, could have a clear conscience if they had a relationship with Jesus. Only one Democrat Congressman was brave enough to do the right thing and vote against it. I wrote about this in my blog last week, Satan is Running Scared: He Knows His Time is Short!
I’m not an historian, but I do believe the downfall of America began with Roe v Wade and has been on a steady decline to the historic deterioration we’re watching today. When a country decides that unborn babies should be violently poisoned and viciously ripped apart in their mother’s womb and taxpayers actually pay for it, God cried. God was angry. He’s still crying and angry! How could He not be?!
They have built pagan shrines at Topheth, the garbage dump in the valley of Ben-Hinnom, and there they burn their sons and daughters in the fire. I have never commanded such a horrible deed; it never even crossed my mind to command such a thing! Jer. 7:31 NLT
You have done more evil than all who lived before you. You have made for yourself other gods, idols made of metal; you have aroused my anger and turned your back on me. 1 Kings 14:9
And the worst part is that Christians and the church have actually done very little to reverse this atrocity or keep child sacrifice in front of politicians until recently and the Dems have noticed our sudden advocacy. What started over 50 years ago as a practice only to be used in an extreme emergency has evolved to killing babies on a whim and even as a form of birth control. Yet still for the most part the church and Republicans have been fairly quiet as millions of babies are murdered.
Last year was the first time a sitting President, Donald J. Trump, appeared personally and spoke at a National Walk for Life in Washington DC. It seemed like the Republican Party and the church became emboldened. Some red states are beginning to pass laws forbidding abortion, especially after a heartbeat, which is a beginning. Now we have a political party in charge of our country that wants to, as Nancy Pelosi’s own Bishop said, pass a bill that could’ve only been written by Satan.
I hear more Conservative news pundits willing to call out what we’re watching take place in our government for what it is: evil! They use the word evil! Finally, people willing to verbalize what is happening in our country and world today. But is it too late? I don’t know. But what I do know is God is only going to put up with what He’s watching for so long, just like in the days of Noah.
God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to forgive those who repent from their sins but that promise is shouted down today by rioters, Marxists, and corrupt legislators who encourage sin and violence instead of repentance and forgiveness.
We will never be a united nation as long as evil rules in our nation.
Our only chance to take back our beloved nation is to vote the Democrats and Communists out of power and keep them out of power forever unless they have a spiritual awakening. They’re not going to go quietly and they’re going to do as much damage as they can while they’re still in the driver’s seat. You can see them squirming and frantically scrambling as I wrote about last week, that Satan is running scared because he knows his time is short. How short? I don’t know, but I do know that we can’t give up the fight and sit back and wait for the next election because maybe God’s not waiting. Any day He could say “Enough!” and it’s over.
So…
Be ready
Make your voice heard now for godly justice.
Vote and do your part for voter integrity.
Run for local offices like school boards and state legislators.
Make sure the people you love most are ready when Jesus comes to rapture His people.
38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Matt. 24:38-41

Excellent coverage of what is going on today in this nation!! I fully stand with you. Daily makes me think of how the Israelites under Egyptian control cried daily for God’s deliverance … and then He did … but too quickly after He delivered them they forgot … as Christ followers we must continually trust and follow/obey Him. Unfortunately, too many “Christians” are in the same camp as the progressive liberals and that makes no sense to me and I’m sure God sees that as well. Israel is the only nation chosen by God, but America is the only nation who founded themselves as lovers and followers of God … God will not forsake this nation, we just have to trust and have faith in His timing. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.” Blessings to you and David, dear cousins. Love your ministry, your love of Jesus and your steadfastness in God’s Word!
Such good points Cynthia. I wrote about the Israelites forgetfulness that we still see going on today in “Forsaken God? Remembering the Goodness of God Our Culture Has Forgotten.” I really appreciate your statement: Israel is the only nation chosen by God, but America is the only nation who founded themselves as lovers and followers of God. As Tucker Carlson would say, “such a smart point!”
Thank you for your encouragement and prayers! Blessings cuz, Janet
Janet, I fully agree with your statements, no one should believe that God is not ever-present. Too many people these days think he is a joke but they will be awakened one day just like the Jews in the desert
When Moses brought down the Ten Commandments. There are other examples in the Bible too where God corrected thinking in very dramatic ways.
Yes, when God moves it truly is dramatic! Thank you for your thoughts Maynard.
Thank you Janet for your articulation of what we are seeing happen in our Nation. It is refreshing and oh so encouraging, to read the truth and see it affirmed by sisters in Christ in their comments. It can sometimes feel very lonely trying to stand for God’s truth and shine His light into the darkness that we are witnessing trying to take down the soul of our Nation. I praise God and thank Him for His Word which is a light unto our path and a lamp unto our feet, as He reminds us that even in the darkness nights when sin is being revealed for the evil that it truly is, that He is at work for our good and His glory! And I believe with all my heart, through this chaotic darkness, precious lost souls are questioning and seeking answers like never before – And I echo your point on our family’s who are not yet believers. God has completely re-organized my day timer to who in my family and circle of influence, is a Believer to Be and what am I doing to share the “hope I have in Christ, with gentleness and respect.” I have been standing on this scripture as of late, and it has strengthened and encouraged me. I pray it will for all of you too “Look among the nations and see; wonder and be astonished. For I AM doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.” I believe!!
A good word Julia! I agree that the dark chaos we’re watching will lead many to the light of Jesus and we need to be ready to help them as the Lord leads.
