We Are Surrounded      

   The reality in our country is this:

   Marxists - now emerging from the dark - rule liberal arts departments in public universities.

   Marxists control teachers unions.

   Marxists co-opt corporations and Big Tech.

   Marxists dominate the party now in national political leadership. 

   Marxists operate in legal matters and judgments. 

   Marxists have conquered much of the "free press" and independent media. 

   What does it matter? Following the lead of George Soros, Bernie Sanders and other familiar operators, they wish to destroy capitalism and all freedoms. 

   Hundreds of millions around the globe have seen all this before. They wonder, What in the world are Americans thinking?  

   Prayers of Christians and Jews may or may not save what's left of Western Civilization. But Almighty God hasn't left us hopeless.

   Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Philippians 4:8. 

   Verse 8 came to my special attention twice, Wednesday morning, so I take it as a gentle reminder. His word also instructs us:

   Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. - Philippians 4:6 

   Applicable today? Life for believers was far more difficult when Paul wrote this letter.
