For several years now, there has been a massive move to bring to the forefront of our thinking a political theory known as CRT.  It stands for Critical Race Theory.  And those who believe it insist that all must be FORCED to embrace it.  I first began to encounter it, several years ago, among young Pastors who were graduates of seminaries where the concept of CRT was taught.  It manifested itself in an animosity that bordered on hatred for this nation.  They wanted nothing to do with the truth that America was birthed from Biblical principles; all they could see was the many faults which current America had picked up from the root of the very idea they were proclaiming:  Yes, what they didn’t know—because they’d not been taught our true history—they didn’t know that what they now believed about America was what those who wanted to overthrow the liberty of America had taught their teachers.  Yes, so-called Critical Race Theory was nothing more than the same old Communist garbage can, painted a different color.  The ultimate aim was the same:  Divide this nation along racial lines; let hatred produce civil upheaval; which would produce fear.  And when people are afraid, they will more readily change their form of government.

“If a man can make peace by fighting, then he is a peacemaker.”

His patrol was moving behind German lines who were ‘dug in’ within deep trenches.  The Germans discovered York and his troop, and opened fire.  The American patrol was pinned down and York would later report that the bushes all around him were shot to pieces, yet he was miraculously spared.  At great risk to his life he worked his way around the hillside where he could see the Germans entrenched above his men.  With his Tennessee sharp-shooting skills he began to pick off the German soldiers one at a time, until he had single-handedly killed twenty-five of them; and silenced thirty-five machine guns!  He then Continue reading →
