This week on Sermon Shorts, Pastor Ray talks more about the spiritual battle going on around us.
Thank you my friend and brother-in-Christ MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting the perspective from patriotpost.us author Mark Alexander
What Is The Woke Church?

Is the High Church of Woke Collapsing?
Christian denominations embracing immorality take note: Episcopal churches are hemorrhaging congregants.
If you’re not affiliated with the Episcopal Church, why does this matter? Because it is the church of the most influential, wealthy, white leftist protagonists, and a template for how they can infuse their rotten ideology into any denomination. Ironically, 50 years ago the Episcopal Church had a reputation of being “Republicans at Prayer,” but now it has devolved into a cesspool of degenerate ideology.
Our Founders were forthright about faith as an indispensable support to sustain American Liberty. They understood that faith and family were the primary pillars supporting the freedom of our Republic.
John Adams declared: “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
Benjamin Rush added: “The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments.”
But today, we are saturated in the cultural effluent of a country whose degraded politicians have, over the last five decades, outlawed public faith expressions and stripped our once-enviable academic institutions of their religious and civic curriculums. Currently, they are endeavoring to normalize and institutionalize the greatest cultural threat to the faith and family pillars — their gender cult orthodoxy, even in its most deviant manifestations, now to include embracing gender dysphoria.
That warped agenda was given a significant boost by Joe Biden six months ago, when he signed the misnamed Respect for Marriage Act, which accomplished the Left’s goal of disrespecting and demoting marriage. Basically, this legislation further codified the Left’s redefinition of marriage by establishing national reciprocity — forcing states to recognize “same-sex marriage” licenses from other states, much as they do driver’s licenses. (Still waiting on national reciprocity that forces states to recognize “right to carry” licenses!)
Marriage is the foundation of the family, which in turn serves as the foundation of society. The Christian marriage paradigm is built on a foundation of five principles: First, God is the creator of the marriage relationship; second, heterosexuality is God’s pattern for marriage; third, monogamy is God’s design for marriage; fourth, physical and spiritual unity is God’s plan for marriage; and fifth, marriage was designed to be permanent.
Marriage as an institution has been under assault from many quarters, one of the most menacing being the challenge to traditional sexual morality. It is no small irony that not only have homosexuals successfully challenged the status of traditional marriage, but sexual immorality leading to broken marriages also fosters homosexual pathology.
The Left’s long-war strategy against marriage is to redefine its timeless “binary” definition as between a man and a woman by attempting to redefine gender. Ironically, it is leftist women who are leading the charge.
It is not motivated to placate their gender-dysphoric constituents but to empower government by eroding Liberty, the nemesis of their statist agenda. They know that the best way to accomplish that is to attack faith and family, starting with children. The result now is a younger generation besieged with woke culture and gender disorientation, though the good news is that susceptibility to disorientation declines after adolescence.
Leftists also know that the best way to undermine faith is to infuse their agenda into long-established Christian denominations. That seeding sprouted first in the historic Episcopal Church of the USA (ECUSA), the American branch of the World Anglican Communion'

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
Well, you must also remember that in colonial times towns, cities, and states were formed by what today we would call woke religious people.
