"This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” - Ephesians 5:14
By now everyone on the planet has heard about the Loudoun County School Board and Critical Race Theory. The parents of the school children got rather upset and were voicing their opinion and it made national headlines. This is not to lessen the news that the school board covered up a rape case that occurred on their watch.
The Democratic Candidate for governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, sure wishes that the sleeping giant, the parents of Loudoun County school children, never would have been awakened. Their votes likely swung the election in his opponent's favor.
There is a lesson that needs to be learned here. Two lessons really.
Lesson #1 - Remaining silent when our children are being taught things against our wishes, and God's wishes, is NOT an option.
Lesson #2 - We need to remember that we are "One nation, Under God." That comes with some responsibilities.
We have been silent for too long. And despite what Barrack Obama says, "We ARE a Christian nation." We have just forgotten to act like it.
Everybody should remember 2nd Chronicles 7:14 by now.
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14
Remember, we are called to "be holy, as I am holy." And what does "holy" mean? It means "set apart ones." If we as a people are truly holy, maybe we should start acting like it. We should be set apart from those in our communities who want us to blend in or to be eliminated. God is ONE "sleeping giant" we don't want to awaken to wrath.
May this November 2nd election be the first day of God healing our land.
