“The reason Christians still own the public square is because Jesus rose from the dead in it. I know that the militant secularists despise this truth, but truth it is, and they should have thought of those objections before they crucified Him there. And they somehow think they can do something about that foundational and drastic mistake of theirs by dragging real believers out there and doing the same thing to them. Go right ahead. This is how Christ conquered the West the first time, and this is how He will do it again.” — Douglas Wilson, Mere Christendom
The West was built upon the sacrifices of Christian men and women.
"The blood of Christians is seed,” — Tertullian
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. The West, it now seems, has seen better days, but it is not dead. And more to the point, even if it dies, it will rise again renewed.
John 12:24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
Christ's sacrifice laid the foundation of our salvation and Christian sacrifice laid the foundation of Christendom. When Christian men and women again begin sacrificing their lives and livelihoods for the glory of God, the West will rise from the ground and flood the earth like the wildflowers cover the land.
'If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism." — Thomas Sowell
Civilizations are built upon sacrifice. Christendom is built upon the once for all blood sacrifice of Christ and the everyday sacrifices of praise produced by Christian obedience.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
So, let's get to work. The heathen hordes must be opposed. We know that the gates of Hell will not prevail, so why are we not pushing against them any harder?
