THEOCRACY: THE ONLY EFFECTIVE FORM OF EARTHLY GOVERNMENT
The exodus of the Children of Israel out of Egypt occurred around 1,400 BC. When they entered the Promised Land, they had no king for the first 400 years.

Democrats Unleashing Demons
A new Gallup poll shows that more Democrats have a favorable view of socialism than capitalism. This pattern has been building for a while. Senator Bernie Sanders took socialism mainstream in the party during the 2016 Democratic presidential primary. Since then, Democratic Party candidates have been increasingly attaching themselves to the ideology. …several members of the Democratic Socialists of America are writers and editors at Jacobin magazine.
A magazine that would enthusiastically embrace this title is signaling that, like socialist movements of the past, the DSA is willing to drop the “democratic” part of their moniker and instead rely on the traditional method for socialist revolution – bloodshed, violence, and tyranny. The Jacobins were the most violent and radical political group of the French Revolution. Led by Maximilien Robespierre, the group responded to a growing backlash against the revolution by executing anyone their so-called Committee of Public Safety deemed insufficiently loyal. The Jacobin clubs located throughout the country were used as a secret police force to root out dissent among politicians and the general populace alike. Historian Timothy Tackett estimates that almost 40,000 people were killed under the Jacobin control of the French government. Many were beheaded by guillotine in a grotesque public spectacle after a show trial, and others were brutally executed with firearms. In the case of one period in the city of Lyon, people were executed en masse by cannon fire. This period of carnage was known as the Reign of Terror. It is hard to imagine a modern-day Reign of Terror happening in America. But consider the recent phenomenon of outrage mobs on social media demanding people be fired and ostracized for expressing un-PC points of view. Think about the left-wing activists taking over classrooms to prevent conservative voices from speaking. Think about the rash of people being attacked for wearing MAGA hats. Think about the violence of Antifa. Perhaps it is not so difficult to imagine.
EXPOSED: “Black Lives Matter” Marxist Agitprop
The Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) casts itself as a spontaneous uprising born of inner city frustration, but is, in fact, the latest and most dangerous face of a web of well-funded communist/socialist organizations that have been agitating against America for decades. Its agitation has provoked police killings and other violence, lawlessness and unrest in minority communities throughout the U.S. If allowed to continue, that agitation could devolve into anarchy and civil war. The BLM crowd appears to be spoiling for just such an outcome.

The Sham Social Gospel
Prevalent among many religious leaders who profess to be evangelical Christians (i.e., Bible-believing Christians) is the promotion of a gospel that is acceptable to, and even admired by, people throughout the world. Today, the most popular form of this is the social gospel. The history of the social gospel is, in nearly every case, a sincere attempt by Christians to do those things that they believe will honor God and benefit humanity. In every case, however, the practical working out of “benefiting humanity” has compromised biblical faith and dishonored God.

What’s Wrong With The Social Gospel?
Though, of course, they would vehemently deny it, the fact of the matter is there are a myriad of people who proudly associate themselves with the Social Gospel and Social-Gospel-based organizations and their works in society, who have never partaken personally of the genuine Gospel of Christ themselves, and become a “new creature” in Christ by surrendering their hearts and lives to Christ, becoming obedient to him from the heart. They are as lost and undone and without God in their hearts and lives as the entire current population of Canadian geese. They evoke Christian/Biblical terminology, but it’s nothing more than regurgitation of learned cultural lexicon, rather than divine truth emanating from the Spirit resident within their human spirit. It’s carnal culture-speak, rather than Spiritual Spirit-speak, and thus a phenomenon that every true, Born Again, Spirit-infused believer needs to be apprised of and avoid at all cost.

Powerless To Win The Abortion War!
Thus, the sin and evil of abortion simply cannot be overcome, halted, or even deterred by any means of civil demonstrations, protests, or expressions of evil. Evil cannot overcome evil. Evil is incapable of defeating evil. Evil-doing only begets more evil, which in time becomes exponential reproduction of evil, which is precisely what the result is with abortion, particularly in the African-American community and culture. Bottom-line is that it is evil spirits and their commander, the devil, who is possessed with a murderous hatred for God’s Mankind Creation that cannot be accurately quantified or expressed, behind abortion. Thus, no amount of protesting, picketing, organizing, or pontificating about civil rights issues, no matter how right, righteous, and just, will ever stem the tide of or win the battle against abortion. It will never work, and the proof is in the fact that it never has yet.

The Fallacy and Ineffectiveness of the “Social Gospel”
If the social gospel is the right and correct gospel, then why has it not worked over the course of its 150 years of existence and successfully attained its stated goals? Why is abject poverty still pandemic among the masses of the world? Why is grinding urban privation in America still so prevalent, along with all the baneful and distressing effects and circumstances thereof. If the doctrines and dogmas of the social gospel are so true and well-conceived, their strategies and means of accomplishment so right and proper, why have they not worked over more than 150 years? Why is the abortion rate among blacks at an astounding 51%? Why is the black population in American gradually decreasing rather than increasing? Why are the unemployment and public assistance dependency rates among blacks still so extremely high and increasing every day? The proof is in the pudding, the old adage reasons. Where’s the proof? Where’s the corroborating evidence of effectiveness that more than a century and a half should have produced for all to see?

The Laudable Legacy of MLK Jr. & CRM
From a theological perspective, it is vital to understand that while the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement (CRM) he spearheaded for more than a decade is highly laudable for the voluminous victories obtained with respect to manifold social inequities and injustices, if the integrity of the legacy is to be preserved, it must be bifurcated and distinguished from the spiritual appurtenances historically associated with it.
