The worse discovery a military guard can make is to find one, clad in a uniform just like his, working inside the camp to destroy it. No greater damage can be done than to have secret agents working on the inside to destroy the cause for which that army exists. However, the very worst thing that guard can, himself, do, is to assume that there are not any such spies lurking in the camp. And yet that is exactly what most Americans—including Christians—have done. In our quest for pleasure, possessions, and prestige, we have ignored the warning signs all around us that there are just such agents working within our borders to destroy our God-given liberty.
The Bible warns us over and over not to underestimate our enemy, satan, with his efforts to destroy the flow of the Gospel of Christ to our children. God warns us about letting satan deceive us with his strategies. The Apostle Paul wrote:
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” (2 Corinthians 2:11)
The Bible warns us:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (1 Peter 5:8)
But most Americans, believers included, have bought into the lie that there is no such thing as a personal devil; that demons are not really at work doing practical things to keep the Gospel of Christ from getting to the next generation in public settings.
And yet, just two weeks ago, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned us of a massive infiltration of our society through our institutions. He stated,
“The Chinese Government has been methodical in the way it’s analyzed our system…It’s assessed our vulnerabilities, and it’s decided to exploit our freedoms to gain advantage over us at the federal level, the state level, and the local level.”
(Washington Watch, February 13th, 2020)
Pompeo explained,
These are often Chinese diplomats…initiating these operations. Men and women, serving here in the United States, who are quietly “leading and executing programs that present a risk to American businesses, to Americans’ privacy, and to Americans’…security.” And the worst thing about it, he said, is, it’s not “on people’s radar screens.” “It’s one thing to pressure the Secretary of State of the United States of America.” It’s quite another “to go after a high school principal,” Sec. Pompeo argued. “It shows depth. It shows systematization. It shows intent.”
“Obviously,” the Secretary pointed out, “we want Chinese students coming here to learn.” But the reality is, these aren’t always groups with benevolent intentions. Our communities are partnering with education associations, not realizing they’re actually “controlled and directed by the Chinese Communist Party.” We think they’re coming here to teach Mandarin, when in fact, they’re deeply tied to the regime and its sinister ambitions.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are in a real war for the survival of liberty in this nation. The socialists are informed, financed, and supported by Communist regimes. Lenin, the Father of present-day communism promised us:
“The end of all socialism—is Communism.”
(Agenda: Grinding America Down, Curtis Bowers, 2010)
Shouldn’t we work to warn people where socialism will take us?
Think about it; because if you don’t, someone else will do your thinking for you—and for your children! And you won’t like what that brings to you. I’m Don Pinson; this has been Think About It.
