Crisis is the dominant strategy of the Obama White House. Crisis is not only their basis for “change,” it is also a tool of distraction. While the American people are put in panic mode by the latest “emergency” or calamity by a seemingly wrought White House and media, crisis provides opportunity for Obama and cohorts to hurriedly implement their agendas. But, now as more and more Americans are paying attention, they are catching on.  They are discovering that at the root of America’s crisis is the very President himself.

Early on complaints were, albeit legitimate ones, that Obama lacks business acumen. That he has neither business experience nor an education in economics. It soon became apparent to Americans that neither was needed.  One does not need business experience or education to bring down an economy or to inflict a deepening “economic crisis.” Business acumen is not needed to empty the U.S. treasury, trample free enterprise, hamstring small businesses with healthcare regulation and impending taxes, squeeze the middle class, increase unemployment/entitlement lines, raise taxes that will kill jobs, place a moratorium on oil production that kills jobs, regulate independent fishermen out of business, and, based on fraudulent global warming, push for a Cap and Trade/EPA regulated energy bill that will bust the budgets of households across America.  That is the making of a good crisis.  Obama’s White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is often quoted as never wanting a good “crisis to go to waste.”  (See:  “POWER AT ANY COST:  The Training of Barack Obama” atwww.DarwinsRacists.com)

Crisis in the making:  New welfare class. Obama’s policy of “redistributing wealth” historically requires a financial leveling of the masses.  Jobs must be lost.  A whole new class of former American workers must become dependent on the government for their very subsistence, which primes the pump of social welfare and government dependence.  In previous articles came my warning that Obama appears bent on implementing his Socialist agenda on the backs of America’s newly unemployed. With so many out of work and not paying taxes, independent business owners and the wealthy, who provide jobs, will become the next target for excessive taxation to keep the money flowing into corrupt government coffers. What money the Obama government then deems to “redistribute” will literally put a radically left, socialist government in control of who gets what and when. Control, repeat control, is the end result of each “crisis” that is “managed” by this White House.

Crisis in the making: Socialist/Marxist government of ruling elites. Nothing seems more important to this President than implementing Socialist/Marxist policies with the Fascist underpinnings of mandates and laws that force the citizenry to comply. In doing so, he foists on the American people a crisis that may prove insurmountable unless it is stopped. The Constitution of the United States stands between the American people and tyranny by the government. Yet it is Obama, his Attorney general, his State Department liaison on global law, multiple Czars and administration acolytes who reportedly view the U.S. Constitution as either defective or to be ignored. Again, the Constitution of the United States stands between the American people and tyranny by the government. The Marxist dream is that the government becomes “god” to the people and controls all facets of their lives from healthcare to energy usage, from a socialistic entitlement subsistence of the private sector to doling out government jobs, and by mandating or substituting government propaganda as history and education. Big red Marxist warning flags are waving.

Crisis in the making: Ignoring the Border threat. Violence at the American border is so intense that spill-over is inevitable. Is this White House allowing the border to become yet another “crisis” that it will not allow “to go to waste” when chaos enters our own cities and neighborhoods threatening our homes, schools, churches and businesses? Example to the U.S. is the fractious border between Israel and Gaza. The Obama administration announced it is sending $900 million taxpayers’ dollars to rebuild Palestine. Some $300 million goes to Gaza which is under control of the Iran-backed, terrorist organization Hamas, a group that is anti-American and anti-Israel. Wouldn’t that money be better spent on America’s border protection instead of financing an enemy? In yet another bow to globalization and a tactic to the undermine America’s sovereignty of self-rule, the Obama administration wants Arizona to answer to the United Nations Human Rights Council as “violators of human rights.”  As Arizona’s attempts to protect Americans from imminent threat, the Obama State Department wants Arizona to be judged by some of the worst human rights violators on the globe. Can the World Court be far behind?

The way this President creates or uses crisis defines his character and agenda. That he is driving the country off a cliff while posturing as an elite with endless vacations and a soie de vivre during times of hardship on our people, should move this nation of voters into action. Talk abounds about the George Soros backed, Sharia Law inclined mentality of this administration that portends the take down of America. The time for action is now.  Stay informed and inform those you know.  Rally to the vote, get on your knees and pray that this administration is a lesson to America to again turn its attention to Godly principles, the laws of the Constitution, to the strength of the good and the brave to protect what is right, and to give us the grace and charity to care for those unable to care for themselves.  The American dream is not dead. It is under assault. We are again reminded that freedom is not free by the very individual who swore, based on the Constitution, to protect our freedoms and our nation. Was it a sham oath by a President who now, by his actions, appears to have had other intentions in mind?

As this nation is shifting from a powerful, energetic republic into a nation in crisis, the American people are now focused on the White House and its collusion with a radically liberal Congress. Reviewed in Part One is that crisis is the dominant strategy of a White House that has brought the nation to the precipice of failure with a teetering economy and ethically bankrupt governance.  With a government composed of self-acknowledged Socialist and Marxist elites at the helm, many formally employed Americans are becoming the new entitlement class, violence threatens to spill over our borders, the President approves Sharia compliant representatives, and the Constitution, that stands between Americans and government tyranny, is under assault from the very form of government our founders sought to protect us from.

Crisis in the making: Obama’s globalist agenda. Americans now recognize the internal threats to the republic along with other elements in play that are forming the underbelly of America’s undoing – if left unchecked. Two major threats against America have both gained momentum under Obama. What Globalists and Islamic jihadists have in common is the demise of America. Globalists and jihadists today recognize an abettor in the White House when Obama apologizes for the United States as the cause of many of the world’s problems. Obama’s statement is incredulous and profoundly undermines this republic that forms the freest and most generous nation in world history. That Barack Obama seeks global favor and impending financial gain at the expense of America’s future appears no longer in question. (See: “Obama & the UN:  Agenda 21.”  Also see:  “Lean, Mean and “Green” – The Smoking Gun” (Part One) and “Lean, Mean and “Green” – Take Down of America” (Part Two) at www.DarwinsRacists.com)

That this White House seems loathe to acknowledge that jihadists’ are waging a war of civilizations against western culture and faith as opposed to the U.S. being duplicitous in bringing such attacks on itself – is beyond comprehension. Obama was raised in the Muslim faith, reads flawlessly from the Quran and knows extremists’ attacks will continue based on religious ideology. This President knows full well that America is responding in self-defense, that America was not the aggressor and must defend itself with robust intelligence, effective interrogation techniques, military trials of the enemy, and with a strongly supported fighting force on the battlefield. Yet, he undermines all of the above.  Why?

Crisis in the making: Obama’s Rules of Engagement.  Critical comment is that our military requires legal counsel by their side before returning enemy fire due to the Obama administration’s mandated Rules of Engagement on the battlefield.  Accounts of lives lost permeate the troops on the ground such as the report that a group of soldiers were not allowed to take out a sniper that had pinned them down until they could clearly see who was holding the gun that was firing at them. Requiring such restraint in the heat of battle comes either from a blatant lack of knowledge of military tactics and response or a blatant disregard for the lives of those fighting for our country. To allow troops to die based on an imposed “political legality,” devalues the valor and lives of our fighting forces and is both irrational and unconscionable.

Crisis in the un-making:  Ginning up class and race warfare. The White House, Progressives and liberals have tossed the emotion-baiting bombs of class envy, racism and bigotry so many times that people are no longer reacting to them except in the reverse. Those tossing the hate-grenades appear now to be the racists and bigots, including members of the Obama administration.

The worst enemy Americans can have is complacency. Complacency led to the war for the minds of America’s children as history books were rewritten, as government-backed science on origins remains intellectually dishonest, and as the founding faith is being demeaned and discredited. In times of national distress, like 9/11, Americans bent to their knees and prayed for God to stand with America. Overlooked is, that it is a prayer that is likely to remain unanswered until America first stands with God. The renewal of faith, along with the crisis of pain and destruction that is Barack Obama that wreaks havoc on household budgets, business owners, founding principles and warriors on the battlefield, may in fact, bring this nation back together.

See: OBAMA IS THE CRISIS (PART ONE) by Sharon Sebastian

Government can suppress it, deride it, attempt to lay claim to it, but they cannot stop it. Talk show hosts are speaking of it, many are now calling for it and more Americans understand the necessity for it, whether they believe in it or not. There is an uprising, a movement, a need to return to God. From the founding of this great nation, our forefathers knew that our liberty and rights are gifts from our Creator.

Can the liberties of a nation be sure when we remove their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people, that these liberties are a gift from God? Thomas Jefferson

Of late, talk show hosts such as Limbaugh, Beck, Levin, Larson, Gallagher, Cunningham and an array of others are now openly calling for a restoration of God in America. All proclaim that our inalienable rights come from the Creator God and not from government. Most recognize the current, aggressive Marxist/Socialist attack on our great nation. Most American’s know that America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Increasingly, they are citing that America’s woes today and the internal threats to our freedoms stem from a disregard or abandonment of the Creator God. Even secularists and atheists acknowledge that a faith-based society enjoys greater freedoms and opportunities than those under godless Socialist, Communist and Fascist regimes. What many have yet to realize or espouse is the root cause of America’s drift away from God. To ignore the root cause is to be uninformed and ill equipped to address the issue.

Our rights and freedoms are from God, not from government. It is said, particularly in regard to socialistic welfare, that what the government gives, the government can take away. It is a dangerous and precarious position for any society. Socialist, Communist, and Fascist regimes eventually ignore the will of the people and seek power at any cost. Such regimes also seek to purge the Judeo-Christian God from society in an attempt to become god to the people. Fascist/Socialist/Communist leaders and ideologists such a Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler all touted and relied on Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution to deny and denounce God as Creator. Top theologians say that Darwin’s theory has done more to damage faith in America than any other philosophy. Top scientists today, many who once supported Darwin’s theory, are now calling it flawed science and bankrupt. The reason Darwin’s theory is taught in America’s schools and championed by government is based on perpetuating the peoples’ belief in government and not God. Charles Darwin’s theory is a political tool for Marxists and Fascists. To ignore the historical impact of Darwin’s theory on Marx, Stalin, Mao and Hitler is tantamount to ignoring the impact of radical Saul Alinsky’s teachings on Barack Obama’s socialist mentality. Each Marxist/Communist/Fascist wrote glowingly of Darwin’s theory as providing justification for their oppressive ideologies. Barack Obama, himself, gave a “shout out” on Charles Darwin’s birthday.

It is important for all Americans to fully understand the root cause of how and why God is increasingly being abandoned for a theory that requires no conscience. Answers are in the book, Darwin’s Racists – Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (Website: www.DarwinsRacists.com).  From God vs. Darwin to the role of the government, faith, media, the ACLU, healthcare, schools and our founding principles — to the scientists, theologians and historians themselves, the book explains how Darwin’s ideology took root, impacts faith and government today, and further details its looming threat to life in America tomorrow. Read how abortion became increasingly prevalent due to Darwin’s theory that bred the horrors of eugenics, how Darwin’s theory undermines the Judeo-Christian faith and substitutes a false scientific justification for government to become god in the lives of its citizens, how minorities, the disabled, and people of faith are targeted by elitist, power-thirsty leaders who use class and race warfare and the rebuffing of God to divide a nation.

To escape a tyrant King, an oppressed people came to these shores seeking freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Note these words from the Constitutional Convention, 1787: “In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine protection. Our prayers, Sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered. do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?” Benjamin Franklin. America should be “sensible of danger” again and dare not imagine that we no longer need His assistance. Socialist, Communist and Fascist governments fear such a revival of the faith by the people.

If you really want the answer, then let’s do this.  No bull, no taking sides, no politics, just Americans. Three ugly eruptions over race are hanging in the air like a stink bomb. One involved a black street activist calling for the killing of white babies, another was the NAACP labeling Tea Party patriots as racists and the other is an unconscionable and a vile “satire” from a Tea Party Express spokesman who reportedly blogged a mock letter about Abraham Lincoln’s emancipation of black slaves.

First, regarding the black street activist calling for the killing of whites and their babies. Though the man clearly spoke to the hatred of some, the vast majority of black Americans were appalled, embarrassed and disassociated themselves from the sick and inflammatory rhetoric. The street activist appears to base his hatred solely on skin color. Clearly, that is the most insidious and base form of racism. Sick minds come in all races as this black man demonstrates that racism is not the purview of whites, Hispanics, Asians, Arabs, etc.

Regarding the NAACP labeling of a group of  patriotic Americans as racists. Doing so presents an obvious political ploy for votes for Obama mixed with a strain of racism within the NAACP that is founded on past and present wrongs. To dismiss racism that exists within the NAACP based on whites and the racism of other peoples of color against blacks, is kin to dismissing this country’s slavery past because Arab/Muslim nations chained and enslaved more Africans than America. The book, “Darwin’s Racists” (www.DarwinsRacists.com), reveals that blacks captured and held blacks as slaves and sold thousands into the slave trade. The ugly truth is, many blacks are carriers of the disease of racism that they so strongly and righteously condemn. Two wrongs do not make a right. As an example, please view the following video (provided by Andrew Breitbart and posted on the Internet) of a member of the Obama administration speaking to the NAACP:

http://hotair.com/archives/2010/07/19/breitbart-hits-naacp-with-promised-video-of-racism/

Regarding the now former spokesperson for the Tea Party Express, Mark Williams, who reportedly blogged in a mock letter that slavery was a “great gig” and that slaves “did not cotton to emancipation” because it meant they would have to do “real work” – makes me recoil at the vileness of the misrepresentation of my fellow Americans and the plight of their ancestors. Williams has been tossed out and is no longer associated with the Tea Party Federation  Mr. Williams may call his mocking blog “satire,” but I call it racism. The Tea Party consists of patriotic Americans of all colors. Just as with the NAACP,  rotten eggs may slip through. Then, just as the Tea Party does, the NAACP should expunge the racists in their midst.

On radio, a young black woman was greatly distressed that Hispanics and illegals were taking over her neighborhood, a Hispanic was critical of a black president reshaping his American dream and a black man having witnessed extreme Muslim violence and oppression concluded that it isn’t the “white man” that is the devil. Multi-colored distrust and dislike is being heightened by those fearing differences from one another.

Where racism is least found in America today and where people from all backgrounds join together as one, is in houses of worship. Using the Christian faith as an example.  For true Christians – not Christians in name only – but true Christians who follow the example of their Savior Jesus Christ, racism is blasphemy against their Lord. True Christian churches see all people the same as being created by God and equal in His eyes. It is there you can witness a black ask a white to pray with her because she has just been diagnosed with cancer, an Hispanic being aided by hands of many colors helping him move his wheelchair-bound daughter, a black helping a white senior into a pew, the Christian Arab and Christian Jew enjoying fellowship together, or the bowed heads of people from every background praying to accept all others as they have been accepted by God. For the full story, read “Darwin’s Racists” (www.DarwinsRacists.com) a book I co-wrote that answers the question – who is the racist?

See companion article Part Two: OBAMA’S RACISM by Sharon Sebastian

On the issue of race, Barack Obama speaks for himself through his writings, actions, policies and appointments. Unquestionably, this President has set race relations in America back decades. Though racism brims around this president, it is second tier to Obama first implementing Marxism. Marxist’ controls  must necessarily be imposed on America first. Marxism allows for government enforcement over citizens whereby certain classes and races of Americans can then be targeted and rendered legally defenseless. The Obama administration’s “Marxists controls” are slipping into place under the innocuous term “mandate” of which hundreds are listed in the healthcare law, the financial reform law, executive orders and proposed legislation. Mandate means: “to force.” Force is the antithesis of a free people. Force replaces freedom and is a fascist tactic used to implement change. As with any government circumventing the rights and will of the people while forcibly imposing Socialism, the foul stench of fascism, “force,” now clings to this administration. Historically, mixing fascism with racism leads to devastating results.

For Americans today, the message is clear.  All who are not Obama’s favored people are in for a bumpy ride as Obama appears intent to turn the tables, right past wrongs by seeking reparations via jobs, healthcare, appointments, government positions and the biggest socialistic grab-bag of all – redistributed wealth. Obama’s proposed constraints on Americans’ self-determination and hard-earned prosperity carry both the chains of Marxism and racism. Which leads one to ask, is it a revenge mentality, a dispassionate disconnect, or the need for raw power that drives this president? Many believe racial upheaval is at Obama’s core – based on over 20 years of anti-white and anti-Jewish racist diatribes in his chosen church and associations now and in his past with those who espouse such hatred openly.

So, what indicators have Obama and his minions given to encourage racially charged behavior? The NAACP’s shameful and obvious race-baiting fell short when it could not present evidence on tape that Tea Party members in large numbers had hurled racial slurs or had held up racially inscribed signs. The NAACP learned that the Tea Party will kick-out any racist in its ranks. Former Department of Justice Attorney, J. Christian Adams, testified that Obama’s DOJ has been instructed “not to prosecute blacks” in future voter intimidation cases essentially where whites are targeted – such as the case involving the New Black Panthers. Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, dropped that case without explanation. According to Zogby, Obama’s FCC Diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd, reportedly said essentially that white people need to step down [from their jobs] because we need to have more people of color, gays and other people in those positions. Then, there is Obama’s former Green Czar, Van Jones, who accused whites of “steering poison” into minority communities. In an obvious bent, Obama took a black professor’s side over a white police officer before hearing the facts or knowing that the white officer was selected by a black police chief as an instructor in race relations. Truly shocking on a personal level was Obama’s casualness, inferring his grandmother was basically a racist because of a comment she made almost identical to one once made by Jesse Jackson.

That this president defines his worldview from a racial and racist perspective has become painfully apparent.  Painfully, because many held high hopes for Obama to represent all Americans and to continue improving the nations’ race relations. What is most telling is Obama’s lack of mention or advocacy for racial unity. He remained mute when members of his chosen organization ACORN did not report to authorities the possible smuggling of young Hispanic girls to be used in the adult sex trade, yet he seeks the Hispanic vote. He stands silent and personally offers no defense for patriotic Americans unjustly accused of racism. He appears unwilling to denounce blatant racism among those he calls his close advisors indicating a similar mind-set. It has become obvious that racial dissention and class warfare serves Obama’s political schematic for re-election as he appears to put his racist and socialist supporters on one side and the rest of America on the other. Voters are beginning to realize that Obama and his political cronies are willing to divide a people and bring down a nation for political gain and an over-reaching control of the American people. Those hoping to win or benefit at the “expense of others” are being gamed.  They fail to understand that, in the end, the true Marxist mentality looks to eventually enslave all people no matter their color.

A final note. On the financial network show, Cashin’ In, guest commentator Christian Dorsey said something unimaginable that an American, much less a black American, would say. He said freedom was “a platitude” that he could agree with. Platitude means a tired expression, commonplace, a cliché. With due respect for Mr. Dorsey who frequently explains Obama’s policies – it is doubtful anyone who has suffered a loss of freedom considers it a “platitude” – unless it is those now in power who want to diminish its importance. Might I suggest my book, sir, called “Darwin’s Racists” that should prove enlightening on the matter of both freedom and race.

See companion article Part Two: WHO IS THE RACIST? by Sharon Sebastian

Many Christians were delighted with the further demolition of one of Richard Dawkins’s favourite arguments by the new Müller cell discoveries in the eye (see Backwardly wired retina “an optimal structure”: New eye discovery further demolishes Dawkins by Jonathan Sarfati (Ph.D.). Naturally, many of Dawkins’ fellow atheopaths were furious, including self-described “godless liberal” PZ Myers (familiar to CMI readers because of his vulgar response to a CMI debate challenge to the leaders of the recent worldwide atheists conference). Myers penned a response on his shameful blog, but as Dr Sarfati’s feedback response shows, backed up by experts in ophthalmology (which Dawkins and Myers are not), he misses the point again: since the retina is now called “an optimal structure” by experts in the field, precisely because of the “backward” wiring, it utterly fails as an argument from “bad design”.

It’s afoot. The target: Christianity. Hijack, overthrow, or purge, the Obama government is making its move. True Christianity consists of people of biblical faith who are tolerant and giving while adhering to the Judeo-Christian teachings of Jesus Christ. Rabbi Daniel Lapin of the American Alliance of Christians and Jews has witnessed the blessings of living in a Christian nation: “It is not an accident that America has provided the most tranquil level of prosperity that Jews have enjoyed for 2000 years and that is because America is a Christian nation. .I think always of America’s Bible Belt as Judaism’s safety belt.” (See page 110 - Darwin’s Racists – Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, www.DarwinsRacists.com.)  History records that true Christianity benefits nations.

Though over 75% of Americans profess to be Christian, Washington’s Liberal-Progressive leaders hold particular disdain for conservative Christian voters who steadfastly obey the biblical teachings of Jesus Christ. And, there’s the rub. True Christians always put faith before politics. To both circumvent or purge Christianity or ridicule Christians who question the left’s agenda, political instigators have three choices. The government can discredit the faith and its pastors, they can enact laws that prohibit specific Christian scripture, or they can, via Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky, infiltrate and falsely lay claim to the faith of Jesus Christ through the power of government by manipulating and counterfeiting it into something it is not, and still call it by its name – Christianity. All three strategies are currently in play. The first uses strong-arm tactics of denunciation. The public slap-down of Rev. Franklin Graham was a warning for voicing his opinion on Islam, abruptly followed by the tactic of a Presidential visit to his ailing, elderly father in his home for a photo-op. Rev. Graham expects to be arrested some day for preaching segments of the Bible. Federal laws are winding their way through a Democrat-controlled Congress, such as ENDA, that will shackle people of faith who dare to stand for their values and beliefs.

The left abhors mixing faith with politics unless it serves their agenda. Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi lays bare a blatant double standard as she now openlycalls on clergy to support the Democrats’ immigration agenda. The hypocrisy is that everyone knows (including illegal immigrants) that the issue is not about faith, but about the vote in 2012 when Democrats need immigrant-amnesty to secure an additional 20+ million votes to keep Barack Obama in office. Ironically, immigrants stand to lose religious rights along with everyone else. Christianity is not a political tool. Christians’ allegiance is to Christ.

Headlines are filled with policies aimed at breaking down the family, implementing abortions as just another form of birth control, the teaching of homosexual acts to school children, and so on – all gratis of Obama and his handpicked officials. The very act of “redistributing wealth,” that Obama desires with such avarice, goes against the “10^th Commandment of God” that declares we are not to covet our neighbor’s property or goods that are earned by the labor of our neighbor’s efforts. God’s word literally instructs against Socialism. Obama’s “wealth redistribution” teaches covetousness to the masses.

The President reportedly claimed Christianity through the prism of Black Liberation Theology’s politically infused doctrine of “social justice” which many call the “faith of liberal activism.” In 2008, Obama told Newsweek Magazine that he had “found Christ.” He then reportedly said, “But, I leave open the possibility that I’m entirely wrong.” I have said before that Obama’s faith is between him and His Creator. In this country, voters elect a president, not a Pope. Though religion may not factor into presidential qualifications, restraint against undermining the very faith upon which this great nation was founded does.

Mr. President and Madame Speaker, Christianity is not a call to street activism or Socialism (social justice), Christianity is a call to the Cross. Coercing or manipulating the faith towards anything else is egregious to Biblical doctrine. The Obama administration would be wise to understand that administrationscome and go, but no matter how doggedly they wage war against it – the Christian faith based on salvation by Jesus Christ – does not.

(Now read Christian Purge: The Hitler Factor (Part Two) on Hitler’s quest to purge Christianity and how it relates to today.)

by Sharon Sebastian - Website: http://www.DarwinsRacists.com

Mid-1800, the false scientific justification to deny God as Creator started with a man named Charles Darwin. Darwin’s theory of evolution divided humans into superior and inferior status. Darwin, in his own writings, labeled people of color, in particular black people, as sub-par and sub-human. The appeal of such a theory held great appeal to men who both denied the existence of God and sought superiority over fellow humans. Among them was Karl Marx, the father of Communism, who was so pleased with Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution that he sent him gifts, including a signed copy of Das Kapital in 1873 inscribed: “From a devoted admirer to Charles Darwin, Karl Marx.” Equally grateful to Darwin were mass murderers Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler. All wrote of Darwin’s influence on them and their policies to oppress masses of people. (For more on Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler’s views on evolution, see Chapter 5 of Darwin’s Racists – Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, www.DarwinsRacists.com.)

Though Marxism seeks to rid society of God, Hitler allowed religions. Early in his political career, he praised Catholicism. Initially, he also was favorably inclined towards Christianity. In time as he garnered power, Hitler came to find Christianity particularly troublesome when Christian pastors spoke out against his systematic annihilation of Germany’s Jews. Hitler set out to wash the veneer of Christian beliefs from German society. He sought a new religion that would spring from the Nazi party with the pagan Swastika as its symbol to replace the Cross in Germany’s New World Order. In time, Hitler allowed comment that: “You can be German or you can be Christian, but you can’t be both.” Hitler declared, “Evolution was the natural order of things,” allowing him to debase Jewish people, homosexuals and the disabled to a lower evolutionary scale. He allowed that “National Socialism and Christianity cannot co-exist together.” Historians record that Hitler’s religious views vacillated as his power grew until it became difficult to discern if the god Hitler actually worshipped was himself.

Hitler created the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis) and surrounded himself with men who were atheists or occultists who shared the desire to replace Christianity with a religion that did not require conscience. Men like Hitler’s Deputy Chancellor of the Reich, Rudolph Hess, and Heinrich Himmler, who oversaw the Nazi death camps, were occultists. Himmler stated a preference for the faith of anti-Semitic Muslims who were willing to die for the German cause to attain a reward in their heaven. German school children were indoctrinated to sing praise songs, “Hitler is our Savior, Hitler is our Lord.” Hitler made his memoir, Mein Kampf, the official bible of Nazism.

Early in his career, Hitler stated a favorable view of Christianity. Historians reveal that, in time, power turned him inward to self-worship that perpetuated a growing alienation resulting in the imprisonment and death of Christians. Nazi Germany stands as a warning to all societies that look the other way or tolerate a denunciation or assault on Christianity and Judaism by their political leaders.

Karl Marx described Socialism and Marxism as interchangeable. Socialism merely greases the skids from Capitalism into Marxism. Marxism and Fascism need to eliminate God so that conscience is muted and the government can become god in people’s lives. Socialism strips people of initiative, innovation and self-reliance and encourages a dependence on government, “the new god,” from cradle to grave. Americans are highly resistant to becoming wards of the state. The danger lies with a plethora of laws being passed that are currently legislating values and principles of faith out of American life. Laws in process in Congress carry fines and penalties to force all people to forego personal and religious liberties. Marxism, Socialism, and Fascism counter America’s founding faith. History begs that Americans take heed if America is to remain one nation under God with liberty and justice for all.

Did you ever have naysayers during your childhood who told you what a dreadful thing it was to grow up? It seems like all I ever heard when I was little were things like: “I wish I were a kid again.” “Going to school is easier than a job.” “I would rather be a student again.” “You don’t want to do what I have to do.” “Don’t ever grow up.” Everything I was told made it sound like being an adult was some kind of necessary evil.

And then I grew up. I found that I liked being an adult.

Lest you think that I am some kind of Pollyanna who has had it easy so far and doesn’t know what she’s talking about, let me tell you a little of what I’ve gone through during my adult years:

I’ve filled up a passport. I’ve learned another language. When I was 21, I had seven wild teenage girls living with me. I cared for Russian orphans for three years, basically functioning as a single mom during that time. I have cared for more children than anyone could ever have in a lifetime. I have lost children. I have escorted dozens of children back and forth across the Atlantic several times. I actually know what it’s like to have 20 kids. I have dealt with runaways, street kids, drugs, suicide, and violence. I have graduated from college twice, obtained every form of nursing licensure available in my state up to an RN, and am now in my third nursing job. I have watched people die. I have almost forgotten what it’s like to sleep on a regular basis. I have reached the point of burnout several times. I have supervised an entire nursing home during a real tornado warning. I have dealt with the nastiest people you can imagine. I have been lied to, lied about, vilified, and threatened. I have grown a few gray hairs.

And I still like being an adult.

Why? Because the possibilities are endless. The future is still before me. I am physically and mentally at the height of my productivity. Being an adult is good, happy, and fulfilling. Being an adult is God’s will for me. I am doing what I was born to do. I was born to grow up.

I have looked around with some sense of alarm at other 20 or 30-somethings in my own culture. For example, I know of one young man in his twenties who does not have a driver’s license or a job and sits at home playing computer games while his single mother works two jobs just to make ends meet. While that is obviously not typical, there is still a widespread resistance to growing up in Western culture. I find it very ironic that a culture that supposedly values independence has so many single (and sometimes married) adults who are dependent on their parents in a very babyish way. When I see people in their mid-twenties relating to their parents in a whiny, self-centered way, I wonder where all their self-respect has gone. The Bible says: “Honor your father and mother”. Expecting your parents to baby you is not honoring.

Being an adult. What does it look like for a single person? I’m going to talk about some really basic issues here. While I believe that it is a good thing for single adults to live with their parents until marriage, a single adult should be living with his parents as an adult, not as a child. In other words, he (or she) should be taking on adult responsibilities within the household and be actively preparing to establish a household of his own. It should always be considered a temporary arrangement. A real adult, regardless of his living arrangements, takes complete responsibility for his own behavior and personal affairs. It’s fine to accept help from parents, but it’s not something that should be selfishly demanded.

How does this work out in real life? For example, if I need to make an important purchase or do some complicated paperwork, I ask my dad for advice and interact with him about it. However, I am the one who does the work to get it accomplished. I ask him to teach me how to do things so that I can do them myself. That is how the parent-child relationship is supposed to work. Parents are to prepare their children to eventually function without them. That is why I am very concerned when I see adults in their late twenties who are living at home and lazing around watching TV while theirmothers are out working full-time jobs to support them.(I have personally witnessed several situations like that, unfortunately in Christian families.) There is just something wrong with that. We young adults need to realize that by the time we are in our twenties our parents are past the prime of their health and are probably towards the end of their income-earning years. We need to change to the mode of helping them instead of expecting them to help us. That is the Biblical pattern.

If God didn’t intend for you to become an adult, He would have let you die as a child. We are supposed to grow up. We should be characterized by growth in wisdom, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord. God gives all adults a few non-optional tasks: to worship, work, and reproduce (physically or spiritually). If you fail to do these things, the Bible classifies you as a fool and a sluggard. Sorry about that.

Let’s talk a little about the things that adults are supposed to do. Again, I am dealing with some very basic issues here. Work. All adults are to work. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 says: ” . . . if any would not work, neither should he eat.” Notice the period at the end of the sentence. Paul did not seem to think there were any exceptions. The fourth commandment commands us to observe a day of rest. But, as many forget, it also commands us to work six days a week. (The Bible does not recognize a five-day work week.) Now work, I think, can include all profitable activity, whether it is paid employment, caring for a household and children, learning, building relationships, or even prayer. Proverbs 31 gives us an excellent picture of a woman who works steadily all day long at a variety of profitable activities. Work is to be an all-day, six-days-a-week kind of thing. An adult is to steadily go from one task to another all day long. Entertainment is to be occasional, like dessert. That is the Biblical pattern.

It concerns me that so many “Christian” young people seem to think they are exceptions to the pattern, that somehow they can get through life without working very much or taking responsibility for themselves. When a guy from a Christian family can openly admit in church that he doesn’t have a job and really isn’t looking for one and no one rebukes him, that is a problem. When a guy and a girl in a conservative Christian church can cheer each other on for always waiting until the last minute to study for a test, that is a problem. Over and over again I have seen the following equation being insidiously taught and lived out in Christian circles:

Serious = bad
Funny (foolish) = good

All the while the world is going to hell around us, and “Christians” are worried about whether their youth groups are entertaining enough. “Of course”, they say, “we don’t have poor people on every street corner like they do in third world countries. There’s not really much we can do.” Oh really? Take off the blindfold, please. Let me show you.

We do not live in a day and age where we can afford to waste our time on trifles. Western culture has already morally collapsed while “Christian” young men have been playing video games and “Christian” young women have been going to the mall every weekend. The time has ended for such things. This is a time of war. We must take unto ourselves all of the armor of God to fight the battle that is all around us. We must actively engage the enemy, not hide from him. We must pursue maturity and wisdom. We must build Godly families and produce spiritual fruit. We must alleviate suffering and defend the downtrodden. We must work very hard every day at profitable labor. We must follow in the footsteps of a crucified and resurrected Savior, who also spent many years “just” working as a carpenter.

Think for a little bit about how our Savior lived most of His adult life. Hardly anyone knew who He really was during that time. He grew in favor with God and man, but He didn’t try to impress anyone. His life was so ordinary that His own family was shocked and confused when He began to proclaim Himself as the Messiah. During his adult years, He was educated according to Jewish custom, learned a trade, worked, and earned money. He supported His family after His father died, which would have required Him to exercise leadership in His family at a relatively young age. His life was filled with very grown-up, adult activities. He did not whine and complain about the difficulties He faced. Honestly, I cannot imagine Jesus complaining about not being able to get a good job with lots of vacation time and benefits (and using that as an excuse not to work at all). I cannot imagine Him going home, flopping down on the couch, and whining to Mary about the Pharisees not listening to Him. That would not be mature behavior. Why should we expect our lives to be different than His? Jesus grew up. Why shouldn’t we?

Let me go back to telling you why I like being an adult. It’s not because “I can do whatever I want.” (If anything, I have more people telling me what to do now.) Now that I am adult, I can be a full-fledged part of the work of God’s kingdom. I can use my physical and mental abilities to benefit others. When someone comes to me with a need, I can actually do something about it. There is meaning to my life that I did not have as a child. I don’t really want to be a kid again. Sure, it was fun while it lasted, but being a kid is not the epitome of existence. I now know my God in a way that I never did before. Because of that, I have great confidence in the future, even when I can’t see an inch in front of me. There is joy in every season of life, but there is a special joy in being able to work and invest in others. I would never trade my adult years for another decade of being a child.

When I was still living in Russia, I came back to my room one day to find a note on my desk written in a child’s handwriting scrawled in marker on a piece of purple construction paper. All it said was: “Dear Vanessa, Thank you for everything. I love you.”

If only that child could comprehend all the blood, sweat, tears, and sleepless nights involved in that “everything”. Winning the heart of a child requires some very grown-up skills. Such things are not won without a paying a dear price, as any mother knows.

You could not tempt me to give up that note – or the love of that precious girl – in exchange for an ocean full of silly self-indulgence.

The best thing about being an adult and pouring your life into others is that you discover a wealth of love that you didn’t know existed.
