The Christian faith has been under attack for centuries.

In the time of many still living, the war against Christianity has intensified to the level of bringing about the “post-Christian times.” Who and what Christians today need to follow is at a peak of confusion, especially since even the pope has cast doubt on the mission of the Church in the world and sided with “new world order” globalist moguls who have no use for any authority above theirs.

Authentic Christianity — and authentic Judaism — stand in the way of total control over every human being -– the grandiose goal of many a past dictator to “conquer the world.”

The campaign of globalists to rule over everybody accelerated after 1970, with leftist activists assuming roles of influence in the Protestant churches and started “updating” the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with input from Marxist “Liberation Theology.” The changes were injected into the mainstream churches in small doses over many decades. (I was a hired Catholic church organist since the early 1980s and witnessed this corrupting process.)

The intended transformation of Christianity was gradual at first, so as not to alarm anyone, as pulpits were used to deconstruct the faith and prepare its followers for life in a “new world order.”

The once-potent Catholic arm of Christianity had already been enfeebled in the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), a move that scattered many away from the Church and eventually made many wonder, ‘why go to church’? After all, if everyone is going to heaven -– “God don’t make junk,” remember? -– and sin isn’t even mentioned, why bother?

The truth, of course, is that authentic Christianity prescribes conformity to the moral precepts preached by Christ, teachings that encompass not just his love for humanity but the love of each of us for one another, that message for men and women of good that dawned with his birth.

Divisive, political conformity is not what is asked of us by God. Today’s so-called “Christian” church leaders have forgotten their mission, which is to lead people to God, not to Caesar. Theirs is the job to make the Church steer the times, not make the times steer the Church. To act as a rubber stamp for change, according to the latest political environment, is to desert one’s post as a servant of God and humanity.

The overused word “change” –- bandied about without clarification -– always makes me ask, change to what? 

Is it ‘change’ to follow Christ or is it change to follow the politics of the day? I am reminded of the changes made by masters of the art like Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and other dictators who have led people to great misery and tragedy. And I think of the so-called “elites” in Davos and Washington, D.C., busy at changes to the world far more destructive than any of the past.
