United, We CAN Make A Difference
When the enemy is attacking from every angle on the battlefield, unity is vital.
This past weekend, my wife and I took our sons to a pottery painting studio to celebrate our youngest son's birthday. As I helped one of my boys begin to paint, I noticed he took the brush and made tiny strokes in every different direction. I guided his hand, showing him how much better the pottery looked when he made intentional, coordinated strokes in the same direction.
As he started to blend the paint and the brush strokes worked together to cover the pottery, I was reminded about the importance of unity.
United, we can make a difference.
The enemy knows this; it's why they want us divided.
The enemy has succeeded in keeping us divided for years. We know the enemy's tactics, but they are still working in an attempt to keep us divided.
In the midst of the battles we find ourselves in, unity is more important than ever. We must be united against the real enemy, because there is a real enemy.
Satan is real.
Evil is real.
The DS is real.
The swamp is real.
However, just because the opinions of another patriot don't line up 100% with yours, it doesn't automatically make them a DS operative.
Several years ago the left devised a tactic to label anyone who disagreed with them a racist. For awhile, this successfully stopped many well meaning people from speaking up because they feared being labeled a racist. It was the same tactic that labeled everyone a conspiracy theorist; they wanted to deter people from asking questions so as not to to be labeled a conspiracy theorist. We saw through the name calling and realized the truth, but today there are some who continue the same tactics with different labels: they call anyone who disagrees with them DS.
I'm not saying to unite with evil for the sake of tolerance. Never compromise the truth. The truth is divisive and it will always divide those who accept it from those who reject it. However, the truth will also unite those who are fighting together.
Be cautious when you come across those who claim every patriot you see is DS is disguise. There's a good chance their ultimate goal may be to keep everyone divided on the battlefield instead of working together.
Are there fake patriots among us? Absolutely. Are their DS operatives masqueradeing as patriots? Of course. Never be ashamed or afraid to call them out. However, just because you disagree with someone it doesn't make them DS.
We are fighting a multifaceted information war, and discernment is vital.
Unity is vital.
We must stand against evil, but we also stand united together against evil.
Together, we can and will make a difference.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
Psalm 133:1
It generally takes two to have a discussion. When both parties are hurt and angry that becomes almost impossible. The key seems to be to find that one spot of common ground, and build from there. If you’re lucky enough to manage that, you can begin to delve into the harder topics. Its a tough process. Might take a long time to build a trust. One thing to be sure of, is it will be worth the effort. Strength as a team doesn’t mean we all play it exactly the same way. But we do want to be in the winner column, preferably together in the end.
