Are Conservative Christians at War With the Left? (Part 1)

Aaron Blumer

By all indications, conservative Christians have strife and conflict on their minds these days. But do we understand what sort of war we’re in, who the enemy is, and how we’re supposed to fight?

I’d love to do some man-on-the street interviews at a conservative evangelical event and ask, “Who or what are Christians at war with?” Answers would probably include “the world,” and “the devil.” Someone might quip, “one another!”

I suspect many would say “the Left,” and many who said “the world” would have the Left in mind.

When God says stop praying

SI Filings

“…so instead of praying, they needed to act. This is why we read, ‘Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward” ’ (Ex. 14:15).” - Robin Schumacher
