OPINION:
For years, Christians have done little to counter the steady movement against God and Christianity in America. Often citing the need to be understanding of the views of others, much of the church has condoned this movement.
Last month, the Future Farmers of America (FFA) denied the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International (FCFI) an exhibit booth at the FFA convention, citing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) guidelines — even though the FCFI had had booths for many decades in the past.
During the May 2025 Mayday USA Tour stop in Seattle led by organizers Ross Johnston and Pastor Russell Johnson, counter-protesters — described by organizers as antifa and LGBTQ+ activists — clashed with worshipers. There were reports of water balloons filled with urine being thrown at attendees and police officers.

These are only two examples of the many ways Christians are currently being treated in the U.S. Considering what happened during the COVID-19 panic, when Christians were prevented by the Democrats in power from worshiping (while abortions were still obtainable), what will happen in the days ahead, when the far left has more people in positions of power?
Apathy and failing to do your civic duty are not ways to obey God — yet only about 17 % of evangelical Christians voted in this recent midterm election, down from 41% in 2024. No doubt this helped far-left candidates — including at least one new Muslim senator and six Muslims in the House — win control of Congress.
Some 112 Muslims have won or are leading in midterm races, Muslim Network TV reports. This is not good news for Christians.
Maybe the Rapture will occur soon and none of this will matter, but since it might not, Christians have to push back. They should speak up, send their children to Christian colleges or trade schools and vote the next time around.
