2026 ARC CONFERENCE WAS A NOBLE ENDEAVOUR

Posted on by

The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) is an annual summit of some 4,000 culture-makers from across the globe who refuse the verdict that decline is inevitable, or that cultural self-hatred is a virtue. Instead — in the words of ARC’s founders — “by drawing on our moral, cultural, economic, and spiritual foundations, we hope to develop a more hope-filled vision for the future and re-lay the foundations of our civilisation”.

Great minds like Konstantin Kisin, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Rod Dreher, Michael Shellenberger, Sir Paul Marshall and Katy Faust reminded us, the West may not be perfect but it is the cauldron of humanity’s highest aspirations — from universal literacy to the free market to the industrial revolution and representative self-government. Ours is the civilisation that invented the individual, pioneered the university, birthed modern science, eradicated slavery and globalised human rights.

No civilisation’s faults are beyond critique. What defies all reason are blanket denunciations of the West, so fashionable today, that run in parallel with an amnesia about its countless blessings and a refusal to judge other civilisations by the same impossibly high standards.

The crisis before us, ARC argues, is one of deconstruction. “Generations of Westerners have been taught to hate their own civilisation,” as Kisin put it in the event’s first session. “They’ve been taught that up is down and that good is evil.” Our liberalising impulse, he argued, “has mutated from the pursuit of freedom from tyranny to the pursuit of freedom from reality.”

Worse still is that those sponsoring the West’s demolition offer nothing substantive in its place. Speaking to ideologies like critical theory, Net Zero, DEI and post-colonialism, Sir Paul Marshall explained: “Almost all of these ideas and narratives are parasitic. They feed off an historic body of good foundational ideas but then pervert and erode them. None come from a place of optimism. None of them bring unity. None of them set out a path to human flourishing.”

There is no one with more clarity or hard-won insight to interrogate our modern maladies than Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who fled Islam in Somalia in her 20s to become one of the West’s foremost apologists. True to form, she did not disappoint at ARC this year.

In a sit-down interview with Kisin, Ali described the conditions she escaped: violence, forced marriage, compulsory religion, a scapegoating reflex that blames all ill fortunes on the West or the Jews, schools as indoctrination machines, police as agents of state terror.

On securing asylum in the Netherlands, Ali explained, she was floored to discover a world untold — of women able to choose their own husbands and careers, people free to worship or not worship as their conscience led, schools that imparted knowledge and formed character, police whose goal was to help, journalism that held governments to account, and a society that resolved conflict without brutality.

This is the unparalleled bounty of Western civilisation, she told ARC’s audience — and it’s precisely what we risk losing unless we adjust our current trajectory.

In pressing home just one example, Ali explained that when she first came to the West, “I could walk day and night freely, bicycle about 24 hours a day if I wanted to, wearing whatever I wanted to. And now, a few decades on, we’re in a place where women are afraid to go out.” As evidence, she invoked Britain’s rape gang scandal that victimised up to 250,000 young people, according to a recent report.

In short, the third worldism from which our civilisation originally set itself apart is one we can expect to return to if we refuse to correct course. Fortunately, God has told us the end of HIS STORY and after Satan and his Antichrist are defeated, next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. The nation God established for His purposes will finally fulfil its destiny with its Messiah, Jesus ruling the nations of the world from a magnificent new Jerusalem.

HOPE, PATIENCE AND PRAYER ARE NEEDED IN THESES LAST DAYS

Posted on by

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12

Romans 12:12 is part of Paul’s sustained teaching on transformed community life. In Romans 12:9–21, Paul fires off a rapid series of characteristics of genuine love, and in verse 12 this compressed triad of joyful hope, patient affliction, and faithful prayer.

Each of the three is a pairing of disposition and circumstance. Joy paired with hope — the joy is not in the present situation but in the future certainty. Patience paired with affliction — the patience is not avoidance but endurance within the hard thing. Faithfulness paired with prayer — not prayer as inspiration strikes, but disciplined, ongoing, faithful practice. The three together form a sustainable way of moving through whatever life brings: looking forward (hope), leaning into the present (patience), and staying connected to God through it all (prayer).

As we are in the last days before Jesus returns to restore righteousness He has told us that tribulation is ahead for believers that will refine His church and preserve the remnant. We will need hope, patience and prayer and empowerment by the Holy Spirit to remain faithful through this testing period.

Across Australia and the rest of the Western world, Christians are increasingly finding themselves treated as unwelcome because of their beliefs. Social hostility is growing simply for holding to traditional Christian convictions. How should Christians respond?

For generations, the foundations of Western civilisation were deeply shaped by Christianity. Its teachings influenced our understanding of human dignity, charity, justice, morality, and the belief that every person is created with inherent worth because they bear the image of God. Churches stood at the centre of communities, Scripture shaped public life, and Christian beliefs were not viewed as something strange or dangerous, but as a vital part of the cultural fabric of the West.

But something has changed.

Across Western nations, Christianity is no longer simply being questioned — it is increasingly being rejected, ridiculed, and pushed towards the margins of society. The beliefs that shaped generations are now often portrayed as outdated, harmful, or incompatible with the modern world. For many Christians, the concern is not that society has different opinions. Disagreement has always existed. The concern is that the conversation itself is changing.

A society that once encouraged debate is increasingly moving towards dismissal. A society that once allowed competing ideas to exist side by side is becoming more hostile towards certain beliefs (Christian and Jewish). And for many Christians, the question is becoming unavoidable: what happens when a culture no longer wants to debate Christianity, but wants Christians to remain silent?

This is the reality many believers feel they are facing today and we should not be surprised as Jesus warned us this would happen prior to His return to restore righteousness.

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:9-14

JACINTA PRICE’S HUSBAND ON FAITH, FAMILY, FREEDOM AND FIGHTING CANCEL CULTURE

Posted on by

Colin Lillie speaks out on faith, family, freedom and fighting cancel culture. Colin Lillie is an award-wining songwriter and musician and the husband of Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.

Colin Lillie is a man committed to faith, family and freedom. In that order. Speaking with The Daily Declaration, he said it wasn’t always that way. The talented musician (who is married to rising conservative star Jacinta Price) was born in Scotland. He’s also been in recovery for the past 18 years. Describing himself as a “Scozy” (Scottish Australian), Lillie testified to falling out with God, falling in with a bad crowd, and using alcohol to self-medicate trauma from an abusive past.

He credits God with righting the ship.

Raised in the church, he warmly recalled the experience as giving him time to breathe.

After his family had moved away from that Christian community, Lillie described a time of spiritual searching. Yet “nothing,” he shared, “seemed to ever fit.”

Discussing recovery and rediscovering the “connection with his higher power”, Lillie said, “I may have left God. He never left me.”

Almost two decades sober, he then recounted that reconnecting with Christ didn’t happen overnight. It took time.

While his Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step sponsor was a great man of faith, Lillie says he resisted the Christian concept of surrender as weakness.

It was only when he realised that God was the sole agent responsible for his salvation that Lillie put his broken life completely into God’s hands. With the sinner’s prayer in hand, Lillie turned his eyes towards the cross and asked God to turn his life around. This came complete with a desperate moment involving a river and the somewhat comical image of Lillie being kicked awake by an old Indigenous woman. Recalling his journey, Lillie said he “committed to doing whatever it took to change.”

His big three commitments today are: 1. Sobriety 2. Jacinta 3. Citizenship. In other words: faith, family and freedom.

Also big on the family list are his sons. “I’m proud of all my boys, Lillie shared, “and what incredible young men they’re becoming.” One of whom, he said, “became a strong Christian after doing the Alpha Course.” To this, Lillie asserted, “We need to remind boys and young men that they are very important in building a better tomorrow.”

The Gift of Music and Giving Glory to God

Letting God back into his life also unlocked Lillie’s vocation. With the gift of being sober came the gift of music. This gift, he explained, gave him a way “to speak truth in a way he never felt able to.” Talking further about his music career, Lillie told The Daily Declaration that music and testimony are “the best ways to communicate with people.”

As such, he now searches out opportunities to speak at rehabs. What grounds him is the Word, and a firm conviction that “You never stop learning.” One of those bigger lessons, he added, was learning that “You cannot stop God from being in your life once you’ve opened your heart to him.” Adamant, Lillie made it clear that he takes no credit for how far he’s come since then. Nor does he take credit for the family he has today. All that credit he hands back to God.

“When we follow Christ,” Lillie stated, “we are asked to examine our own hearts.” The goal is to be a good man, he added. That can only happen “by cultivating a relationship with God.”

ALIENS, UFOS AND GOD

Posted on by

Is there life beyond earth? Are UFOs real? Do aliens exist? Have extraterrestrials visited the earth? What’s real and what is not? Does the Bible speak of it? And what does it all mean? For the first time, Jonathan Cahn addresses it and opens it up – and reveals the existence of actual aliens on earth!

Polls reveal that 40% of people believe aliens exist and more recently that number is increasing. Perhaps because of the number of video games and movies being produced with aliens and extra-terrestrials.

This is another video that shows we are in the Biblical prophesied end times prior to Jesus return to restore righteousness and usher in His Millennial Kingdom. If you want to be prepared to rule and reign with Jesus in His Millennial Kingdom go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 22:12-13, 20 — “Look, I am coming soon!

THE NEW YORK TIMES MISREPRESENTS JORDAN PETERSON’S ALLIANCE FOR RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP (ARC) 2026 CONFERENCE

Posted on by

The New York Times (NYT) replaced Alliance for Responsible Citizenship’s (ARC) 2026 Reconstruction theme with White Christian Nationalism in a hit piece attacking the Jordan Peterson alternative to the World Economic Forum.

Correcting the sloppy write-up by Lauren Jackson (NYT), Katy Faust, President of Them Before Us wrote in a 16 July post on X, “A New York Times reporter had nearly 200 speakers, dozens of research papers, and three full days of programming to draw from.” Instead, the article’s author, Lauren Jackson, “quoted two people who weren’t even in the building.”

“I was on that stage,” Faust fired back. “I’ve served on ARC’s advisory board since before the project even had a name. So let me do the job Jackson skipped.”

The Them before Us founder and president then explained, “This year’s conference, held June 23–25 in London, drew roughly 4,000 attendees from more than 80 countries to discuss everything from artificial intelligence and energy policy to education and demographic decline.”

“Jackson’s article,” Faust argued, “frames ARC as part of ‘an escalation of Christian nationalist rhetoric that offers a unifying mission for the religious right everywhere.’” “It’s a serious charge,” she added, “and one [that] readers would reasonably expect to be supported by careful reporting from the conference itself.”

Jackson’s sources were “Yale sociologist Philip Gorski, author of The Flag and the Cross: White Christian Nationalism and the Threat to American Democracy, and philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah.”

By Faust’s count, “nearly 300 words are devoted to Gorski alone.” “The only quotation [the NYT used] from anyone who actually spoke at ARC,” she explained, “is a single 10-word line from Rod Dreher: “A civilisation will die if it loses its sacred story.”

Jackson’s article, titled “The Elite Conservative Trying to Revive ‘Western Civilisation’”, is one big pseudo-intellectual rant. This comes complete with an “oppressor-oppressed” Marxist dichotomy, whereby Jackson paints ARC attendees as a working-class hating, anti-‘progressive’ aristocracy. Right from the start, Jackson alleges that ARC is “funded by oil and gas companies, billionaires and evangelical Christians.”

One-Eyed Anti-Christian Wingers

Nothing is said about the millions of dollars that flood into the WEF, the LGBTQ lawfare racket, and left-wing NGOs aiming Moa’s Cultural Marxist axe at all that’s good, holy and excellent.

With far-left talking points about Christians and conservatives in hand, Jackson’s piece then devolves into a contempt-laced deconstruction of Western Civilisation. This merges into a demonisation of Christians, then into a defence of “diversity,” mass immigration and multiculturalism.

Why the excitement over those policies? Well, Jackson makes her reasoning clear. These ideologies “challenged the idea that Western countries shared a single history, culture and religion.” Now a “coalition of conservatives are trying to bring the idea back.”

For Jackson and apparently the NYT, ARC is pushing the “oppressor’s myth” of Christian civilisation and its “sacred story.” In the end, it’s not ARC attendees who are pushing bigoted elitism. It’s Jackson’s Intersectionality lens that masks elitism and envy behind a veil of inclusion and equity.

Faust on Reconstructing Western Civilisation

Faust’s criticisms of the piece are justified. The Western Christian tradition is far from a figment of ARC’s imagination. Fallible men and women built Western nations on the back of Christian tenacity, guided by both godly wisdom and biblical morality. Western nations testify to the grace of God on full display in the uniqueness of Jesus Christ (John 14:6 et. al.).

Although more malevolent than benevolent at times, the West is an existential, historical, technological, and ultimately spiritual fact. Despite their revisionism, this fact and the common grace that God pours out on a world that often hates him are realities both an ungrateful Jackson and the NYT still benefit from.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. As Faust proclaimed in a separate post prior to this year’s “Age of Reconstruction” ARC exchange, “When people ask me, ‘What is ARC?’ I tell them, ‘It is the righteous inverse of the World Economic Forum.’” ARC is not “top-down elitism. It’s bottom-up responsibility.” It’s “not globalism. It is about embracing the best of nationalism.” It’s “not [an] ideology.” It’s “about building a better future, based in social, economic, historical, and biological reality.”

SOCIAL ATOMISATION IS RESHAPING OUR SOCIETIES

Posted on by

 Social atomisation. Most of us would be hard pressed to define it. Yet it is reshaping our society in ways we barely acknowledge — fragmenting our communities, eroding our connections, and leaving us isolated in the midst of billions.

We have become increasingly ‘separated’ from each other, with fewer and fewer experiences in common to unite us. This is social atomisation, the separation into the smallest unit of society — the atom, the individual. What are people to one another? All too often, they are merely vehicles for pleasure for each other, to be picked up and dropped off when no longer needed.

There has always been a generation gap, but today it seems wider than ever. The baby boomers remember the ‘old order,’ Judaeo-Christian values, the nuclear family and lifelong fulfilling careers. Today’s generation, by contrast, are taught about the colonial plundering of vulnerable peoples by Western powers, and about ‘first nations’ to which they have little personal connection — while entertainment and personal happiness are presented as the primary goals of life.

Aaron Lynn5 catalogues the following six causes of social atomisation:

  1. Urbanisation. Fewer of us now live in small rural communities where everyone knows everyone. Because of our vast desert interior, Australia is one of the most urbanised nations in the world with over 80% of us living in coastal cities.
  2. Open borders. Everyone is free to relocate and settle where they want and are no longer required to assimilate under multicultural policies. In fact, they are encouraged to retain their cultural norms under the banner of respect and tolerance.
  3. Demise of the nuclear family. Under the ‘old order,’ cultural norms were passed down through the family, with mentoring, modelling and the teaching of respect for others and the community. Today, so many can only attest to having experienced bad or absent parents, while doing whatever feels right at the time.
  4. Anonymity. Especially online, through the very real fear of identity theft and the reality of hackers stealing our inheritance, we are drilled into being careful to keep our presence online anonymous, and through fear of paedophiles, we never let our children’s faces figure on the internet.
  5. Anomie. Defined as a lack of community-based moral guidance, ‘anomie’ describes a condition of instability caused by the breakdown of social norms, standards, and values. God no longer exists and in control of His Cosmos. Anomie derives from the Greek anomos (lawless), a state of ‘normlessness’ where society fails to provide clear moral guidance, leading to alienation, anxiety, and a lack of purpose.
  6. Technology. The internet puts knowledge into every hand where we no longer need an intermediary, the librarian or the teacher, with the effect of increasing our self-reliance rather than mutual support. Adding to these internet-driven problems, the smartphone carries our insularity everywhere we go. It is said that there is a correlation between the introduction of 4G (2011 in Australia) with a significant drop in birthrate as ‘coupling’ took a big hit in the Western world.

Increasingly we are no longer aware of the society in which we live and work. It is certainly no longer a homogeneous group with a common knowledge base and mutually understood values. We are consumer units to be satisfied. We must prove our individual integrity for every interaction we have with others. Fear is now the driving force, a result of eroded trust and mutual respect.

What Can We Do?

“With eyes wide open to the mercies of God, I beg you, my brothers, as an act of intelligent worship, to give him your bodies, as a living sacrifice, consecrated to him and acceptable by him. Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould, but let God re-mould your minds from within, so that you may prove in practice that the plan of God for you is good, meets all his demands and moves towards the goal of true maturity.” Romans 12;1-2

Let God remould your minds from within, so that you may prove in practice that the plan of God for you is good. When you accept God’s offer of salvation through the costly sacrifice of His son on your behalf then God will send the third person of the Trinity to be your helper, counsellor, teacher and comforter to indwell your spirit so you can live the Christian life. He will produce the fruit of the Spirit in your life: love, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, gentleness, goodness, kindness, and self control. He also provides the nine gifts of the Spirit for ministry: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10

Interpretation of Tongues – translating messages spoken in tongues for understanding

Word of Wisdom – the ability to make decisions and give guidance according to God’s will.

Word of Knowledge – understanding spiritual truths or circumstances.

Faith – extraordinary trust in God that inspires others.

Gifts of Healing – the ability to heal physical, emotional, or spiritual ailments.

Working of Miracles – performing acts that demonstrate God’s power.

Prophecy – declaring God’s message to guide, encourage, or correct.

Discerning of Spirits – recognizing whether something is from God or not.

Speaking in Tongues – communicating in a language unknown to the speaker.

You cannot live the Christian life without the gift of the Holy Spirit which Jesus made possible by His sacrifice. Your spirit was always meant to filled by the Holy Spirit so that you can be the lamp of the Lord. A lamp requires oil to function. It is the Holy Spirit: “The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.” Proverbs 20:27

The gifts of the Spirit empower you to build up the church (1 Corinthians 12:12-27), serve others in love and humility (1 Peter 4:10-11), and demonstrate God’s power and guidance in the world (1 Corinthians 12:7-11).

AMBASSADOR HUCKABEE UNDERSTANDS THAT ISRAEL’s FUTURE IS SAFELY IN GOD’S HANDS

Posted on by

“One of the reasons that our nations are tied together is because it is upon the Jewish foundation that Christianity was formed and upon the Jewish and Judeo-Christian foundation, Western civilization was formed. And without that there would not be an America. It is as simple as that.

I had people excoriating me from around the world saying, “How dare you say it?” I would say, “How dare you flunked history?”

Are you not aware that our founders wanted to put as the seal of America the parting of the Red Sea? That in the House of Representatives in the United States there is a marble fixture of Moses, not of Cicero, not of Aristotle or Plato, of Moses. Because our history is tied more to Mount Si than it is to Athens or Rome. It’s tied to neither of them. It’s tied to Israel.

The 3,800 year continuity of the Jewish people from the time God said to Abraham, I’m going to make you a great people and through you the world will be blessed. When our founders understood, they understood it in such a way that even in our declaration of independence, we made very clear that our rights don’t come from government. They come from God. They come from the creator. And where did they get that notion? They got it all the way back to this very city in Jerusalem. They got it clearly from the time of an unbroken history of the people having been connected to God and being a light to the world.

And I want there to be no misunderstanding. Americans, whether they understand it or not, need to be grateful to God for the Jewish people and the foundation upon which freedom and the sanctity of the individual was founded because that is what separates our values from the values of totalitarianism and dictatorship. I want no part of that. I like freedom and the heart, the soul and the genesis of that came from right here in this land. Let us never be apologetic for it. Psalm 121 says, “I look to the hills from whence cometh my help. My help comes from the Lord.”

When people say, “Israel will be destroyed,” I’m thinking they don’t understand, do they? that this is not into the hands of any man or any country or any army on this earth. This land is in the hands of the creator of the universe. And my confidence in Israel’s capacity not only to be here but to last and to stay is not because we have a great military and because Israel has a great military. It’s because all of us have a great God who has made a promise and he will keep that promise. I noticed when I started there is a lady over here on the side and she has a sign and it says stop and in her other hand there is a sword. I know what the sign means and I think I know what the sword means. And with that I will say thank you. God bless you and God bless the state of Israel.”

JESUS END TIMES COUNTERFEIT

Posted on by

This important prophecy proves that the world is being programmed to accept a false Messiah. This Nelson Walters video examines how this prophecy from the Bible, particularly referencing elements found in Matthew 24, points to a significant end of days scenario. This discussion offers a fresh perspective on Jesus victory and what it could signify for the future.

Satan’s strategy to establish his false religion in 7th century CE (Muslim) included his end times false characters to mirror what the Bible says will happen when the Antichrist and his False Prophet come on the scene. Satan knows the Bible’s end times prophecies so he established an end times Muslim Messiah called the Mahdi (Antichrist) and his prophet is Isa (who they say is Jesus). Both Shia and Sunni Muslims believe the time of their appearance is soon.

The Mahdi

The Mahdi (Arabic: al‑Mahdī, “the Guided”) is believed to be a righteous descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, specifically from the lineage of Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad, through Imam Hasan ibn Ali d1.islamhouse.com. He is expected to appear at the end of times to restore justice, remove oppression, and rule for a period of seven years إسلام ويب. His appearance is described in authentic hadith as a sign of the Hour, with some narrations mentioning his name will be like the Prophet’s and his father’s name will be like the Prophet’s father’s d1.islamhouse.com.

While the Mahdi is a prominent figure in Twelver Shia Islam (where he is Imam Muhammad al‑Mahdi in occultation), his role is less central in Sunni Islam, though still recognized in some traditions Wikipedia.

The Sequence of Events

According to authentic hadith, the Mahdi will appear before the Dajjal (the Antichrist) إسلام ويب. The sequence is generally understood as:

  1. Mahdi’s appearance – to restore justice and lead the Muslim community.
  2. Dajjal’s emergence – often linked to the Muslim conquest of Constantinople, followed by forty days of his presence.
  3. Isa’s descent – Jesus will appear, offer prayers behind the Mahdi, and defeat the Dajjal إسلام ويب.

This order is supported by narrations in Saheeh Muslim and other sunan collections, though scholars note that the exact sequence of all signs is not fully detailed in the Sunnah إسلام ويب.

Isa’s Return

The return of Isa (Jesus) is a well‑attested belief in both Sunni and Shia Islam. The Quran (Surah Al‑Imran 3:55) states that “none of the People of the Scripture will believe in him before his death,” indicating his eventual return. Hadith confirm that Isa will descend before the Day of Judgment, fight injustice, and ultimately defeat the Dajjal إسلام ويب.

THE PROPHESIED END-TIMES CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Posted on by

We are living in the prophesied last days of moral confusion and spiritual rebellion and a great falling away from Biblical truth. As the prophet Isaiah was inspired to write:

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, Who put darkness for light and light for darkness, Who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20

Christians have always had a sacred responsibility to speak God’s word both privately to individuals as well as publicly to those in authority. The Church in Australia though seems to have lost its nerve and has gone silent. Once again, the words of Isaiah could be applied to ourselves.

“Israel’s watchmen are blind, they all lack knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they lie around and dream,  they love to sleep. They are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack understanding; they all turn to their own way, they seek their own gain. ‘Come,’ each one cries, ‘let me get wine!  Let us drink our fill of beer! And tomorrow will be like today, or even far better.’” Isaiah 56:10-12

Rarely do we hear a pastor or denominational leader speak with clarity, boldness or conviction regarding the issues of our day. Even worse, there are more than a few who would even discourage such an activity claiming that it is a distraction from preaching the gospel. But by the grace of God though, there still are servants of the Lord Jesus Christ such as Rev. Chris Wickland in the UK. Rev. Wickland says that a number of recent issues have left him deeply ‘vexed’, and I would contend that anyone who is a genuine believer in the Lord Jesus Christ should be vexed as well.

Rev. Wickland is right the King of England should step down or be told to do so. One cannot claim the exalted title of being the head of a Christian denomination and at the same time not defend God’s people against those who are seeking to destroy it.

However, the Church of England is not alone. The rot of spiritual compromise has also infected the Church of Rome. As Rev. Wickland states:

“Then I saw some other footage this week of the Pope blessing all the illegal migrants coming into the country… and it’s just like one of those forehead slapping moments. It’s like why do we have a woke pope? Why do we have in this country an apostate archbishop and a whole bunch of viper bishops that sit underneath her? Why, why are we living in times where we seem to have this? Where’s the good men? Where’s the good leaders? Where’s the brave men? Where’s the brave leaders that speak up against injustice? Where are they?

“Instead, we have the archbishop going to the mythical country of ‘Palestine’ and talking about the occupiers. What you mean [by occupiers] is Israel and the Jewish people that live there, and actually all those other people that live there. So, they’re the ‘occupiers’, are they? Again, we have a virtue signalling head of the Church of England who is more interested in looking good to the liberal left rather than standing up for the truth of the gospel.”

Again, Rev. Wickland makes an excellent and salient point. The Vatican is the most protected, as well as restricted, country in the world. If the Pope really wanted to make a point about showing hospitality to refugees, then he should welcome them into his own country first. In short, he should practice what he preaches. Anything else is political posturing under the guise of Christian compassion. But of course, the Pope won’t do that even though he has the material resources to do so.

There is an even more important rebuke which the vicar is issuing though, and it’s where are all the men and women who own the name of Christ and who are willing to speak the truth in love? Being a prophet is messy and dangerous. That is why they are routinely despised, rejected and even killed (Matthew 23:29–36).

Unbelievers Want the Truth?

There is a strange irony which Rev. Wickland picks up on next. It’s that unbelievers long to hear the truth. We saw this especially during Covid when the churches — especially in England — enthusiastically shut their doors. Conservative commentator, Douglas Murray, who as a homosexual is not a natural ally of Christians, wrote at the time how saddened he was at both the closure of churches as well as the missed opportunity for spiritual leadership.

In Matthew 23, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees calling them “blind guides”, “blind fools” and even “snakes” and a “brood of vipers”. In fact, Jesus calls them “hypocrites” in one form or another no less than seven times!

There is no greater rebuke for a Christian than to be labelled as a hypocrite. Indeed, the most terrifying words one could ever hear from the Lord Jesus after rightly calling Him “Lord, Lord” is the response, “I never knew you; depart from me you workers of lawlessness” (Matthew 7:23). When followers of Jesus then are ashamed to declare what God’s Word says to an increasing hostile culture are we not guilty of hypocrisy?

Large swathes of the Christian Church today want to be liked by the world. They don’t want to confront or challenge people about their sin or the injustices they see in the world around them. They are like the Church of Laodicea:

‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.” Revelation 3:15-17

We are already in the Biblical prophesied end times, the Laodicean church will be left behind to face the wrath of God with the coming Trumpet and Bowl judgements of Revelation 8 and 16.
