The gospel transforms people from the inside out. Socialism strives to transform society from the outside in according its own standards and godless ideologies. One trusts the power of God. The other trusts, and enforces, the power of the state above all else.

Modern socialism/progressivism present themselves as compassionate, enlightened, and morally superior. They promise “equity,” “inclusion,” and “social justice” but beneath the appealing slogans is a worldview that is hostile to God, his created order and his authority.

This hostility is often disguised as compassion. Sin is reframed as freedom; rebellion is rebranded as progress and moral confusion as enlightenment. And many Christians, rather than discerning the deception, have embraced it.

The tragedy is that many believers today appear to have been discipled more by progressive universities, woke media and activist/political movements than by the Word of God.

Our Allegiance is to Christ, Not Politicians

Many professing Christians support and vote for political parties who openly celebrate what Scripture condemns. Some even stand as candidates for these parties, justifying it by appealing to economics, climate action, welfare programs, or perceived government “compassion.”

Then they expect our support because Christians should support Christians, right?

No. A profession of faith is not the ultimate test; what they support, enable and refuse to oppose is the test; their fruit is the test.

• “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition… and not according to Christ.”
  Colossians 2:8
• “You will know them by their fruits.”
  Matthew 7:16

Tolerating Evil

How much evil are we willing to tolerate, excuse and empower for the sake of a preferred party, a smooth-talking candidate, a government benefit, or a social issue?

How long are we going to support or remain silent about:

• Abortion —even up to birth
• Gender ideology and the mutilation and sterilisation of confused children
• Attacks on biblical marriage
• Sexual immorality
• Censorship of Christian conviction
• The indoctrination of children
• Open borders
• The worship of “mother” earth?

What will it take to bring us to our knees in humility, weeping and repentance?

Abortion is not a political issue; it is not “health care;” it is murder. It is the intentional taking of an innocent human life. You cannot claim to follow the Author of Life while standing with those who strive to destroy it.

• “Do not participate in the sins of others.”
  1 Timothy 5:22

Scripture is clear; God condemns shedding innocent blood.

• “You shall not murder.”
  Exodus 20:13
• “There are six things that the Lord hates… hands that shed innocent blood…”
  Proverbs 6:16–17

Transgender ideology is not compassion either; at its core, it rejects one of the most fundamental truths revealed in Scripture: that God created humanity male and female.
