The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. ~ Proverbs 15:3
In last week’s SMTU, The Foothold of Fatherhood, we promised to focus on an action plan to reclaim the foothold that has been slowly and incrementally surrendered to the enemy since the sixties. The father of lies replaced our Father’s love with his own counterfeit love during that infamous Summer of Love and the Woodstock festival. So, the Father’s perfect 1 Corinthians 13/John 3:16,15:13/ love was replaced with self-worshipping, hedonistic, and narcissistic love.
This quote from the book On Spiritual Warfare struck me this week, “Someone who needs Jesus is watching you, and it is far better to live the sermon than to preach it.” We’ve modeled the wrong father’s love for the past fifty-four years…and wonder why only 6% of millennials have a Biblical worldview? Oh, it gets far worse…
So now we take a look at the fate of 17 Christian universities (3 Catholic, 14 Protestant) in the hands of the its-all-about-me-free-love generation. This is taken from the book, The Dying of the Light by James T. Burtchaell. The institutions we trusted and paid insane money to prepare our kids for life walked away from God for:
- The desire for more PhD’s on staff.
- Accreditation
- Grant $$$
And, as it has now dawned on those of us paying attention, we are a modern-world Canaanite culture sacrificing our children to the fires of Baal each and every cursed day. Please, I encourage you to listen to Scott’s Podcast where he breaks it all down: The Root of Evil.
OK, that’s enough of how we got here. I promise you an encouraging view of the path forward, and it begins with the man, presumably a father, holding the poster at the top of the page, with the story of a Texas father I heard about earlier this year…and the Drag Queen Story Hours. Have you all noticed that this year’s Pride Month has all but fizzled out compared to last year’s, and the years before? Also, the pushback on social media this month has been extraordinarily intense. And I will tell you that yesterday’s Drag Queen Story Hour at the Yonkers Library was a total Napoleon’s Waterloo compared to the two last year in Montgomery, and Croton-on-Hudson. I tell you brothers and sisters we are winning where it matters most…against the principalities and powers!! And now, the Texas father. A Texas father was acquitted by a Texas jury for killing the man who raped his thirteen-year-old daughter. The story made me think of a father’s love. I wrote a song entitled Mother’s Love once because the idea of a mother’s love was more accessible to me. But this story helped me imagine how that little girl felt to know her father loved her enough to risk going to prison for her. It also made me realize, as the man holding the poster above seems to, men have to become dangerous to the enemy again. Amen? That is actually what is taking shape in the unseen, and the enemy knows it…I could see it in the eyes of the drag queen as she asked me if I wanted a ride in their getaway car yesterday! I am telling you…
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. ~Psalm 112:10
Make no mistake brothers and sisters, we are in for the fight of our lives to take back the ground we have for far too long ceded to the enemy, but as ever stalwart brother Doc says, if we focus on “controlling our controllables”, get out of the weeds of countless distractions, and fear porn, return to, and lean into our real Father, well…then our battle is all but won!
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, “Press On!” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. ~ President Calvin Coolidge
“Conscience is the most sacred of all property;” ~ James Madison from his essay on Property in 1792!
Extricate ourselves from the treason of counterfeit love: Cannonball
And reclaim the role of the protector our Father made us to be; of the Father, by the Father, and for the Father!

Standupnsing 
Pastor Chip, fellow Christian soldiers, we have been subjected to satanic brainwashing for the last four or five decades. Under the guise of “love” and “compassion” and “mutual respect,” we have been lulled into accepting evil. Evil that began with the message of universal tolerance, mouthed by singers like Bob Dylan, the Beatles and Leonard Cohen, Their melancholy strains gave way to Punk, to Heavy Metal, to Hip-Hop, to DEPRAVITY. ALL of this financed by evil men and women who were given the task by Satan to pervert our youth and to cast them into the bondage of moral confusion.
For too long we have tolerated this onslaught of the devil, in entertainment, in education, in politics. We just smiled vacantly and went along with the agenda of the damned. Now that God has shown us the consequences of our subservience, we have to rise to being ourselves again…To being Christian soldiers. We are at the brink of the collapse of Judeo-Christian civilization, and we have but one option left if we are to survive…We have to fight, and fight with everything we have. Jesus is coming again as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and he is coming for the blood of his enemies…Their blood will rise to the level of the reins of war horses and his enemies will be shown no mercy for they have chosen to be with Satan.
We have a duty now to be fighting soldiers. We must proudly take up the Cross, and the Sword, leaving the fields of shame, of subservience, of defeatism. We are the blessed generation, chosen to face the demonic hordes, ordained to be the heroes of the Lord God of Israel and His Son, Jesus Christ.
We are no longer playing defense, we are on the offensive, and we will prevail.
God bless all,
Eric M
