“If this endeavor or this activity is of human origin,
it will destroy itself.
But if it comes from God,
you will not be able to destroy them;
you may even find yourselves fighting against God.”
(Acts 5:38-39)
Dear Friends –
The immense zeal of the Apostles couldn’t be contained after Christ’s resurrection, for they were inflamed by the Holy Spirit to announce the Good News to the whole world, immediately. Their exuberance to establish a fledgling church 
was met with continual opposition, however, a respected member of the Sanhedrin stood up and uttered the above words as a reminder, that if this new religion being proclaimed was not from God, it would die out, but if it truly was from God they would be fighting a losing battle to try and silence the apostles and stop the rise of Christianity. Well, as we know today, Christianity was not defeated then or now for it is most definitely the work of Almighty God as that prophetic statement suggested centuries ago. Anyone fighting the church is fighting God, and they can’t win out against Him. The pages of history record the ups and downs of the Church’s survival for it has been the prime objective of the Devil to annihilate any glory professed to Almighty God. The Devil is extremely jealous of God, and that is why as a fallen angel, he was thrown out of heaven because he wanted God’s admiration and glory for himself. Hatred of God is what keeps the Devil motivated and he uses that hostility to infiltrate every walk of life with evil in one form or another, as in intolerance, revolution, and his chief tactic, deceit.
Deceitful people are all over the place, and starting at the top of our government with President Biden, he has been found guilty of lying on several issues; most recently the Washington Post awarded Biden their highest liar rating of “Four Pinocchios” for his false statements on the changes to the Georgia voting laws! New York Governor Andrew Cuomo 
deliberately understated the coronavirus death toll attributed to some nursing homes by 50% in order to maintain his image of handling the pandemic superbly! But the truth always comes out eventually because God ruled, that what is done in darkness will be brought to light, especially evil deeds. Congresswoman Maxine Watters has an extensive history of inflaming tensions with her vitriol, and she pushed the limits of tolerance with her recent remarks to incite rioting by asking the public to get out on the streets and be confrontational if they didn’t get a guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial! Such hatred in the cold-heart of this woman… pure evil. Will her like-minded colleagues reprimand her for such blatant hatred… don’t hold your breath for what’s highly unlikely. All deceitful acts by public figures, particularly liberal Democrats, will rarely get their lying ways made known to the public by the same-minded liberal media… they hide, distort, and manipulate facts always to their bias, and are not to be trusted, ever.
How does Christianity handle this overwhelming evil dominance? Evil is supplanting belief in God for it certainly isn’t the true and devout followers of Christ who are committing these grievous sins. Many evildoers call themselves Christians, but they are far from it in God’s ledger, and we must make every effort to point out their lying, 
duplicitous ways, which are as far from His truths as possible. These hypocrites are extremely detrimental to the true image of Christianity and by their multiplication and acceptance, the accurate Christian image is being destroyed! God will not allow that and we must be His champions to fight that cause with Him and for Him. Remember what Christ told Peter when He made him the first head of the new church, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18) We can shatter the gates of Hell with God’s help, but we must storm this horrible devilish entity on its grounds before it takes over our passive neutrality that benefits no one. We would certainly safeguard our family homestead if it came under attack, and we are rightly bound to do just that for The Church that is God’s home; after all, the odds are in our favor, God is on our side to prevail!
PROBLEM OR SOLUTION
The problems of the world are many. If we create problems for others, or even ourselves, we must own up to suffering the consequences, something this generation takes great pains to escape. Avoiding these consequences simply germinates more problems, and how often have we seen that happen in confrontations with the police of late. When you cross over the line of respectful behavior into 
unlawful and evil ways, you set into motion the necessity for authoritative judgment from your family members, workmates, and more seriously, the laws of man and Almighty God. Commit adultery, abort a baby or engage in homosexual activity, and Almighty God will step in with punishment sooner or later… but not man’s law. The lawman will certainly show up when you brandish a gun around on a public street at three in the morning, and while lacking the omniscience of God, a policeman must provide a solution to the problem another created, often instantaneously. We have seen how quickly the public disrespects and openly condemns the solutions the police have had to take, while the liberal media screams out unwarranted sensationalized headlines to further enrage… and now we live with riots and protests and stupid opinions after every confrontation… more evil germinated from an infringement of the law by a problem maker who wouldn’t rightly submit to the law or the consequences.
If you don’t like the solution, then don’t be the problem! Certainly, the problem lawbreaker isn’t perfect, but we expect our policemen to be perfect! They don’t have instant access to the perpetrator’s mind or motivation, and 
by necessity must safeguard themselves, others, and the whole area from immediate danger… so, quick decisions must be made and yes, human error might accidentally occur, but it’s not necessarily deliberate racism each time as black people often cry out with no foundation. Certainly, some policeman may be racists, and others hardened by the continual exposure to the dregs of society doing the worst of things to one another would turn anyone cynical in time, but no amount of training can adequately equip them to be instant all-encompassing experts to handle everything perfectly... only God can do that. Cries to reform and defund the police only add to bad morale for policemen who rarely get highlighted for all the good they do, so let’s fight those evil factions who want to abolish police departments for they want disorder to prevail. They are not Christian; they have no respect for spiritual law or civil law and they want neither to have jurisprudence over them, that cannot be allowed… another cause for Christians to champion for God.
Yes, there are many, many problems 
in this world, but Christians, true devout Christians, are not the problem makers, but they must help bring about the solutions or evil will thrive even more. “Tolerance” gets promoted as a “good thing” quite often when really it is a devilish tactic to make us accept and live with sin, and that is wrong and against God’s will. Fight on Christian soldiers! with God’s help, be defenders of His truths… rid society of its many, many devils.
