In Combat for Christ

When going to Google to flesh out my quest to write on the war being waged against Christianity today, I immediately discovered a primary attack strategy  the enemy uses.

In putting in research lines and terms, the search results often placed Christianity in the position of being the aggressor  against the social norm Christianity opposes—i.e., Christianity is most often at first presented by the search engine as wrongly assaulting the issue or event such as abortion, a homosexual convention, or whatever.

Although the search engine eventually got to the facts involving the Christianity-vs.-the-anti-biblical matter being researched, facts were reached only after going through several levels of attempts by the search engine to imply, at the very least, that Christianity, not the opposition matter, was likely in error.

There is no doubt, considering the way things are swiftly trending, that a war is being waged upon true Christianity-–that is, biblical truth.

Christians who engage in this battle are indeed combat soldiers of the cross. The proof is in every direction upon the prophetic horizon that this is an end-times battle of epic proportion. That proof is made clear through accumulating evidence such as the following:

  • UK pastor says he was arrested for preaching the gospel, speaking out against Islam
    A 66-year-old U.K. pastor arrested while street preaching in London, said he is facing hate speech-related charges for preaching the Bible and speaking out against Islam. “It’s called inciting religious hatred — which is false,” Pastor Steve Maile told Fox News Digital. “The cross of Christ is a message of hope, love, mercy, and reconciliation to a fallen world… How could that be hate?” (Rapture Ready News, May 16, 2026)
  • Irish Pastor Convicted, Fined for Preaching Near Abortion Facility
    Clive Johnston was arrested for holding an outdoor church service near a hospital (near an abortion facility) despite not mentioning abortion. He was convicted of violating Northern Ireland’s “safe access zone” law. “This is a very dark day for Christian freedom,” Johnston said. (The New American, Rapture Ready News, May 19, 2026)
  • Every year Open Doors USA releases its World Watch report of the 50 states most likely to punish Christians for their faith…

The group Open Doors USA figures that 360 million Christians last year lived in countries where persecution was “significant.” Roughly 5,600 Christians were murdered, more than 6,000 were detained or imprisoned, and another 4,000-plus were kidnapped. In addition, more than 5,000 churches and other religious facilities were destroyed.

American Christians talk of persecution, but that is what real persecution looks like. (“Christianity Is the World’s Most Persecuted Religion, Confirms New Report” by Doug Bandow )

Here in the United States, opposition to Christianity and its principles of morality is on the grow as never before. The following points to that burgeoning opposition:

“Progressive outlets are in an uproar this week over a White House sponsored Christian prayer event scheduled to take place on this Sunday at the National Mall.  The Trump administration and the Freedom 250 nonprofit will host ‘Rededicate 250,’ which will feature Cabinet members and conservative religious leaders to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary.

“According to event organizers, the program aims to reflect on the faith of America’s founders and serve as a national moment of rededication. Participants include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and House Speaker Mike Johnson.

“Leftists journalists and Democrats are accusing the Trump Administration of violating the US Constitution and the ‘separation of church and state’ by sponsoring the event.

“We have seen how governments devoid of religious principle behave—The atheistic regimes of communist Russia, China, Cambodia and North Korea have murdered millions upon millions in the name of ‘saving’ the populace from the ‘opiate of religion.’ We have also seen how movements like the political left behave when they gain power, injecting authoritarianism and degeneracy into every facet of society and even targeting children with irrational and anti-science indoctrination.” (“Establishment Media Outraged By White House Sponsored Christian Prayer Event,” ZeroHedge, May 16, 2026)

The same Zerohedge article gave a sense of America’s founders view of this battle involving Christianity vs the world’s evil:

“The Founding Fathers are often described by leftists as ‘followers of the Enlightenment,’ as if this means they were not Christian. [Most] of them were in fact Christian while also promoting some ideals of the Enlightenment.  Many prominent figures of the enlightenment were religious, including Isaac Newton, John Locke, and Christian Wolff.

“Their goal was to seek harmony between faith and reason, not erase the practice of faith from society or government.  As John Adams said:

“‘The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity…I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.’

“He also stated:

“‘Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

My Maternal grandmother’s maiden name was Adams. We are supposedly somehow related to John Adams and, of course, his son, John Quincy Adams.

Whether related in fact or not, I’m in complete agreement with President John Adams’ belief in engaging in combat for Christ in this increasingly wicked world.
