01/31/2023 – “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20 // So?: Engage! (Ephesians 6:13) (Comments)
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
― Edmund Burke (1729 – 1797)

And this, from the 60s prophet of the pagan Marxist left from the “dark” side of the Devil (surprise, surprise: Hillary Clinton wrote a dissertation on him in her college years. I’m shocked.):
“Saul Alinsky, the Marxist radical, told his followers how to mask their real agenda. Speaking of the current political structure, he said, ‘They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation until we are in power. Then we’ll abandon and ballot box in favor of the bullet.
Preach noble goals. Hide your end game.”
By God’s grace, we are assured of ultimate victory. The Lord just asks that we participate. “Fear not” over the Devil and his minions; it is folly. Therefore:
“Never despair, but if you do, work on in despair.” *
― Edmund Burke
“He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.” *
― Edmund Burke
(*) – Connecting it back to His infallible Word, just one verse for now:
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28.
Do we really believe what we say we believe is really true? —- “All” in the verse means exactly that, nothing less than that! Soli Deo Gloria; He is unfathomable!
Always connected by His grace and through prayer!
Your brother in Christ,
