I was astonished to recently learn more about Dr. King and even more astonished to find the left making outrageous comments about him. His influence, for me, is not a dim recollection. While I was just over a year old for his "I have a dream" speech, its effects definitely shaped my worldview.
Did you hear that 12,000 (not a typo) people were baptized in California on May 20th? Part of the "Baptized California" movement. It's a start!!
I have gone back to my Catholic roots. It wasn't by those professing the religion; rather, it was by those professing the contributions of the Judeo-Christian ethics. This includes David Berlinski, whose debate with the late Christopher Hitchens on religion can be seen on C-SPAN and James Lindsay's work. Even agnostic F.A. Hayek understood the importance of the monotheistic faiths and warned of the consequences of their demise.
I have a friend who says, “There is no black, white or brown at the foot of the cross. We are all equal before Christ.” But that’s the point, isn’t it? Christianity changed the world in that it brings dignity to all classes and to all races. Freedom and justice are only possible if people are seen as having dignity. And that is what the new Marxism ultimately denies. It is the old racism tripe in a new package. Hatred is at its core, but it is first directed towards God—a shaking of the fist in defiance of the Creator. Such hatred cannot help but spill over and be leveled against those who were created in His Image.
The globalist and Marxist leaders of this world cannot stand the goodness of Christians who practice Christianity. Their faith in themselves as Gods, which in itself is a great delusion and used of course by the author and perfect or of lies, precludes them from ever seeing the error of their ways. Their only power comes from stealing liberty in all its forms from others. They fear death. We ( Christians) do not. They fear truth. We do not. They think they understand and can control the human biome. They do not understand the complexity and the built in resilience of the capstone of God’s creation, human beings, as we were fearfully and wonderfully made. They use the tools of division to divide us. Christ unites us. They inwardly fear Christ, the mere mention of His Name makes them shudder. And that is what we are up against. Gird your loins Christians because we are up against a powerful enemy, but one that if we keep our faith which can be overcome.

One of your best articles to-date.
Thanks, John. It's always nice to revisit the quotes of the great thinkers.
It is articles like this that indicate your firm grounding in timeless principles, and that tells me I'm in the right place.
Thanks so much for the encouragement!
