If You Are Silent, You Will Be Next...

Jun 18, 2024

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil,” warned Dietrich Bonhoeffer. And I believe that in the face of what is hanging in the balance for the election this fall, SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION!

Across the board, people of faith are being maligned by the term “Christian Nationalism,” which is being used to vilify and silence them. It is used as a political term to conjure up frightening images that portray Christians as lawless and violent and who want a government-imposed religious creed forced on the populace. The idea of forcing Christian beliefs is antithetical to the teachings of Jesus. For the record, I don’t know anyone who identifies as a “Christian Nationalist.”

The term “Christian Nationalist” is a dangerous lie used to intimidate and silence people of faith.

The dark history of the 1940s was only possible because of what transpired in the 1930s. When Nazi Germany falsely demonized Jews, instilled unfounded fear that Jews were planning to take over the world and blamed them for disease and all the ills of society. At that point, too many pastors, churches, and people of faith were silent.

To help set the captives free, you can place in the hands of pastors and leaders our powerful booklet dispelling lies and offering truth, the Patriot’s Handbook of Political Action for Pastors and Churches. This booklet explains the freedom of speech that churches and even nonprofits have to speak up on political issues. Help put this one-of-a-kind resource get into the hands of key pastors with your donation today. — Mat

Shamefully, Joe Biden used his official position at president, and even two uniformed Marines from our armed services, to help him deliver an angry and dangerous speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. In that speech, Biden labeled “MAGA Republicans” as a “clear and present danger.”

He asserted that MAGA Republicans were lawless and violent. The irony is that we obtained a class-wide preliminary injunction against the Biden administration because of its lawlessness in violating the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

In his speech, Biden used the “clear and present danger” language because it comes from a Supreme Court case. To mitigate against a “clear and present danger,” the government may seek to violate your First Amendment rights to speech, religion, redress, and assembly. This was intentional, and it is astounding and dangerous.

That initial speech was because he was worried about an election for others. Now Biden is facing his own election. We need to respond now to prevent Biden and his followers from silencing people of faith, and anyone else with whom they disagree.

Biden has already said he intends to codify abortion as a federal law and to pass the “Equality Act” that is the most radical LGBTQ bill imaginable — and he will use government agencies to silence and, yes, even jail people with whom he disagrees. And he wants to control your money with a Central Bank Digital Currency, and he wants to give away your freedoms to a foreign dictator at the World Health Organization. Everything is on the line for this election.

Already we have seen Biden’s team prosecute the innocent and ignore the guilty. We have even seen him use the FBI in pre-dawn raids of innocent pro-lifers in their homes. This is a foretaste of what could happen if we do not vote our values in the next election.

Biden, like Obama, has used government agencies to target people with whom he disagrees. Under Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and IRS employee Lois Lerner were held in contempt of Congress, but neither one served a day in jail.

Now, Steve Bannon must report to serve a four-month prison sentence. MSNBC alleged Bannon was trying to “summon an army of Christian nationalists.”

This is the America that radicals are envisioning for us. Be warned — if you remain silent, they are coming for you. Their rhetoric has turned deadly serious, and our rights and freedom are under the greatest threat I have ever seen.

YOU hold the key to help us get out to pastors, churches, and nonprofit leaders the liberating message found in our Patriot’s Handbook of Political Action for Pastors and Churches.

I am counting on your help to sponsor TWO, FIVE, TWELVE, THIRTY or more of the Patriot’s Handbook of Political Action for Pastors and Churches.

Silence Is Not an Option in the face of these threats. Help spread the truth that sets pastors free by sending them this brief but powerful resource. Open the door for an entire community to be effectively reached today.

The radical left is desperate to push Godless Globalism, which offers a writhing, hopeless death of our nation. We cannot allow this to go unanswered.

Join this effort when you partner with Liberty Counsel Action with your donation to ensure that the voice of people of faith is not silenced. Consider becoming a monthly partner or giving a one-time donation that helps defray the expense of this campaign.

Thank you in advance, and may God bless our nation.
