What is at the heart of the division in our nation, and in the world?  What is the crux of the matter, when it comes to making a decision about how to vote come November?

For me, it is a simple matter.  We are in a pitched battle between good and evil, so we need to decide which side we are on, good or evil? 

And then we need to decide which side in the upcoming election, Democrat or Republican, represents the greater good, or greater evil, for our nation.  Everyone can see that we are at a crisis, and we have never before seen such confusion among our people.  Families are divided, churches are divided, communities are divided, as we search for a way forward.

Part of the problem is that too much information, both true and untrue, is easily available.   Just go to google search, put in some words, and hundreds of thousands of responses pop up.  What is useful and what is rubbish?

crux of the matter. Also, heart of the matter. The basic, central or critical point of an issue. For example, In this trial the bloodstains represent the crux of the matter, or We think the second clause is the heart of the matter.

The crux of the matter is that we do not know what to believe, unless we have a background of information about what we are searching.  Those of us who are trained in Bible study have a background of information that has braved the test of time and trouble. That standard of informed thinking is considered old fashioned by the leftist.  The Marxist has rejected faith in God and the Bible, and will turn their anger against believers as they have opportunity.  

The Marxist rejects the old ways, and destroys its components, so as to institute new ways informed by the elite thinkers who have jumped on board the revolution.  Soon the elite are in charge, and arrange things to their own liking, and make themselves kings. And they destroy whatever they perceive to be in their way.  We have seen it at work in Portland and Seattle.  When will we ever learn?

THE DAY THE POLICE WERE NO LONGER NEEDED


August 19, 1966 - Chinese students launched a fight for social justice to fight for the rights of the oppressed in China. It was widely believed that the 'patriarchal system' in China had been created by the 1% and held down women, minorities, and the working class. The students cried out for a revolution and change, and consequentially launched the infamous Chinese Cultural Revolution.

Students put a red band around their arm to stand in solidarity with the oppressed and called for a change on old ideas that they called the FOUR OLDS. The Four Olds were: Old Customs, Old Culture, Old Habits, and Old Ideas.

The movement was supported by the Chinese media.
Mass demonstrations and looting by the students ensued.
Statues were torn down.
Chinese architecture was destroyed.
Classical literature and Chinese paintings were torn apart and burned.
Temples were desecrated.
The Cemetery of Confucius was attacked.
The corpse of the 76th-generation Duke Yansheng was removed from its grave and hung from a tree.
Wealthy homes were attacked and destroyed.
Many families' long-kept genealogy books were burned to ashes.


All of history, in short, was to be removed and replaced. This was the central meaning of Cultural Revolution: That China was going to destroy every trace of its bourgeois (privileged) past and replace it with a new culture built on the principles of Maoism and Marxism.

Communist leaders like President Liu Shaoqi were taken out of power and replaced with men Mao believed were not critical of his reign.

Public leaders who were considered to be oppressive were tried by angry mobs and vigilantes.

Three days later, August 22, 1966, a central directive was issued to stop police intervention. The police were disbanded in the city and the students formed a community solution called the RED GUARD. The RED GUARDS policed the communities and punished anyone who did not agree with their ideas. Even people that supported the movement, but had bad thoughts ("wrong think") could be punished.

Though many Christians supported the movement in the beginning, they quickly became the number one target of the RED GUARDS and public trials were held to condemn them to death.

Many of those that were on board with the cause of the rebellion, in the beginning, saw that it was not really what they had signed up for, but by then it was too late. The power that the Red Guard wanted had already been given.

More people died during the cultural revolution in China than any war, famine, or natural disaster in the history of man. An estimated 20 to 30 million people were killed.

Are you listening America?

Yes, the crux of the matter is a choice between God and mankind.  There is a way that seems right to mankind, but the end of that way is the way of death.  

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life for those who put their trust in Jesus Christ.  His cross is the crux of the matter.
