As the woke agenda gains ground, it will keep getting harder for Christians to stand for Biblical truth. It’s easier to be accepting and tolerant of sin, but it isn’t right.
I believe persecution in America (and the world) is only going to get worse. I am reminded of the verse that says,
“If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?” Jeremiah 12:5
When Jeremiah complained about persecution, the Lord responded by telling him that his current problems were nothing compared to what was coming!
That’s why I’m concerned about the Church in America. We’ve been spoiled by freedom. We don’t know what it’s like to be persecuted. We still reside in the “safe country”, but that is quickly changing. When real persecution comes, will we be able to stand?
Jesus said, “When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8
When the Lord comes, will He find compromise and tolerance of evil or will He find Christians trusting in the Word and in Truth?
Some have decided to ignore Scripture and go along with the lies. What lies? Well, everything that is happening in our world which is contrary to God’s Word is a lie. Do not be deceived.
We can bury our heads in the sand for a while, but when a problem threatens our children, we are compelled to face it head-on. And our children are being targeted by the Woke agenda.
They don’t even try to hide it. Drag Queens have invaded children’s Story Hour at Public Libraries and bookstores across America. Target is selling LGBTQ Pride clothes for kids. American Public Education promotes the trans agenda. Disney has gone off the rails. And to top it off, Gay Pride Parades chant, “We’re coming for your children!”
We must fight for our children’s welfare. If we do, it will encourage others to fight, too. If we remain silent, others will be afraid to speak out. There is a lot at stake.
I pray that for believers we will not diminish our witness for Christ because we do not want to face backlash from this unbelieving world.”

We don’t want to face backlash. I think that pretty much sums it up. We don’t want to face backlash so we remain quiet.
But consider this. I was stunned when a Christian friend of mine recently told me that 5 of her 7 young adult children were “woke”. She said they were homeschooled and/or sent to private schools, but she warned me, “That’s not enough.” Once they attended college, their worldview changed.
She also shared with me that she has a friend whose 3 kids have all rejected the faith. They are now leftists and atheists. They are “Preacher’s kids”, two of which changed their worldview in college.
Don’t underestimate the power of peer pressure and social media. Don’t think this can’t happen to your children because you live in a small town or in the “Bible Belt”. I assure you it can. And there are probably people you know who are dealing with these issues right now and you just don’t know about it.
The problem is real and it is having an effect on our children whether we realize it or not. You can read Mandy’s inspiring article, Smoke here.
May God lead you and guide you as you traverse the narrow road.
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7: 13-14
In His Love, Cindy
