My friend Mike Spaulding, author and pastor, has a daunting task ahead of him.
Some months ago, I read Mike’s latest book, Upside Down in America, and asked him to be the Peter Muhlenberg (look him up) of our time. As the fiery revival preacher Charles Finney once preached:
If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it!
Mike will find no help or support from the celebrity pastors, as he seeks to call ‘men of the cloth’ to take up their responsibility to preach and teach truth about self-government.
The striking 19th century painting above, The Wounded Angel, was painted by Hugo Simberg in 1903 and was voted “Finland’s national painting” in 2006. It now hangs in the National Gallery of Finland.
In the piece, two boys carry a stricken angel through Elaintarha Park towards the Blind Girls’ School and the Home for Cripples. The expression of the boy in the rear embodies the bitterness in the hearts of many American children.
To me, the angel is the body of Christ in America, which has become powerless against the enemies of God, despite the massive, wealthy institutional church franchises with elaborate facilities, corporate structure, and programs from Golf Tournament for Jesus, Ski-Trip for Jesus, Mediterranean Cruise for Jesus, not to mention fitness gyms and coffee bars in their facilities…which of course now commonly are closed to large gatherings in the day of American Communism’s last absurd attempt at control, through the Chinavirus Gaslighting Project.
First, the worldly, corporate churches produced cynics and epicureans. Now, they produce simpering, cringing, masked zombies, bowing to Master Government. And not one in five thousand pastors stand to tell the truth!
In public discourse, in parenting, in civil government: we Christians are supposed to be the salt and the light, bringing the counter-cultural, hard teachings of Jesus Christ. But the pastors in this country have conformed to the world, and to the petty, blue-light tyrants and their police crews, who embarrass themselves like so many of Hitler’s Gestapo troops once did.
In a larger sense, the wounded angel is the original hope of the New World: to glorify Christ, a mission held hostage now by religious careerists who sold their souls for mammon and popularity, and by a cruel, gaslighting Nanny State.
Simberg’s painting portrays our present condition in the body of Christ. But it need not be our future. God creates men and angels and upholds all by the power of His hand. When civilizations fall, it is God who chastises; when a people is renewed, it is God who brings new life.
TACTICAL CIVICS™ is “a mission to the Americans”, to teach our brethren to display the fruits of the spirit in everyday life — including our civil lives as one people OVER a Constitution, that now stands badly in need of enforcement. We can show the joy, the love, and the power of our High King to a hurting and lost world. We, the repentant Remnant.
At the same time, we must keep American Communism from getting its second wind, and giving support to Chinese Communism. We must demonstrate the power of the sword demanded by Romans 13 and by U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 8, Clause 15. This is no new kind of citizenship; just the old model envisioned by James Madison, chief author of the Constitution.
AmericaAgain! Trust, by teaching, supporting, and organizing Americans in the TACTICAL CIVICS™ way of life, will also restore the New Testament view of our responsibilities for ourselves and our children, and the early American view of our duty to oversee and limit our public servants. We will remove the angel’s blindfold.
As thousands, then tens of thousands, and eventually hundreds of thousands of Americans join us on this road to “repentance in action”, let us also appear to our poor, downtrodden brethren in far-flung places, as the angel with the healed wing.
