Canceled or Courageous?

Wordsmith

Don’t answer the foolish argument of fools, or they will become wise in their own estimation. Proverbs 26:4 NLT

Anyone on social media knows how true this is, but where is the line drawn? Because while we shouldn’t stoop to the level of fools, is silence always wise?

Is it righteous?

All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children. “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”  Revelations 21:7-8 NLT

Notice God listed cowards with murderers?

Living in a Cancel Culture has made silence and being a coward, the easy choice.

Is that what the God who came so we can have a rich and abundant life (John 10:10) wants for us? To be filled with terror and crawl through life in fearful silence, hoping that society won’t destroy us?

That’s not life, that’s death!

Enough already.

Enough of the silence.

Enough of the cowardice.

I’m not saying we should be violent. In fact, God hates violence!

The LORD examines both the righteous and the wicked, He hates those who love violence. Psalm 11:5 NLT

Of course we shouldn’t want harm inflicted on our countrymen. That makes us just as bad as the fascists. However, we must stop them from harming us.

We can use the same tactics in this battle of speech that have been used against us for years.

This has been a battle of thought, of public shaming, and of words. So speak up!

Get involved!

Whether it’s at a city council meeting, or on your neighborhood app, when you hear or see someone being a godless commie, you should be the courageous American, and call them out for it. 

For example, instead of “You’re killing me with second-hand smoke!” You can say, “You’re killing my freedoms with your communist tyranny!”

Instead of, “You’re a bigot for being a Christian!” How about, “You’re a bigot for wanting to take my constitutional rights away!”

When you see someone else being attacked by some fascist, stand up for them. Let these commies know that they don’t have authority over their neighbors, and the tactics they’re using are the same that were used by Stalin, Mao, and Hitler. The desire to ruin your countrymen for their individual beliefs comes from the pit of hell, and shouldn’t be tolerated.

The godless have shamed us for supporting our flag, our Founding Fathers, our President, the military, but mostly for worshiping the living God.

It’s time we stand up, and turn the societal tables on them.

They can’t cancel half of the country, right?

But we can’t cancel ourselves either…

If silence is consent, then when we’re attacked for being Christians and loving liberty, we’re literally giving our freedoms away.

By not standing up for our beliefs, we risk the right to have them.

The Bible says:

“Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.” Joshua 1:6-7 NLT

The Israelites were facing giants in the land. Cancel Culture, is a giant in this land, and while it may not be the Promised Land of Israel, America is a land that was dedicated to the LORD.

So on this day of our Lord, I beseech my countryman to pray for God’s strength. While hating violence, and following God’s instructions, be courageous and stand up for your rights as Americans.

Stand up for your rights as Christians!

What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter. Isaiah 5:20 NLT

When you see darkness, call it out as darkness!

When you see evil, call it out as evil!

Remember, silence is consent. Your silence agrees with the lies. Your silence calls evil good and good evil…

Since our society has becomes an upside down world, let’s flip it, using the same tactics used on us, every day.

Of course, don’t say anything without prayer and following the promptings and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Don’t let yourself be canceled, be courageous instead! Then watch as we all unite and speak out against the darkness and call tyranny for what it is, call communism what it is, and call evil what it is, God will bless our courage and help us cancel, cancel culture.

Hopefully then, we’ll have peace.
