“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.” 2 Timothy 3:1

Though the Mid Terms have come and gone, what is not gone are the political and moral consequences of the voters’ decisions.
The surge of Jew hatred is most disturbing. Anti-semitism is not new. There are frightening similarities to the 1930s in Europe. The recent attack of bike riders on Jewish businesses in Philadelphia is an alarm bell. Where is the outrage in the media and the public?
The love affair with socialism is not a mere societal hiccup in the quest for political power. It is a worldview disease that “is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and gospel of envy, and its inherent virtue is the equal distribution of misery” (Winston Churchill).
Another chilling trend is the emergence of religious liberalism from its dormancy in previous decades. Take note of newly elected senators who espouse such nonsense as the Bible condoning homosexuality and God as “nonbinary.”
Some polls indicate that there was a low voter turnout of evangelicals. There is no excuse for political agnosticism (“they are all bad”). Is it that difficult to determine which candidates and their policies would do the greatest harm to our nation (Rom. 13:1-7)?
What then should Christians do in response to the ominous intentions of the newly elected?
