When Evil Shows Its Hand
A pastor recently said out loud what many Christians have sensed but hesitated to say: when every visible form of wickedness lines up against the same side, believers need to stop reacting emotionally and start exercising discernment. This is not about liking a personality or excusing flaws. It is about recognizing patterns that reveal where real opposition lies.
In todays political climate, the Democrat Party has grown increasingly comfortable aligning itself with movements and ideologies that openly reject biblical truth. What should alarm Christians even more is not just that this alignment exists, but that far too many pastors refuse to call it out. Silence from the pulpit has become the norm, even as moral lines grow clearer by the day.
A Pattern Christians Are Told Not to Notice
The pastors point was simple and unsettling: evil does not attack its own. Scripture makes this plain. A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. Darkness does not war against darkness.
Yet in recent years, Christians have watched self identified witches, abortion activists, and radical ideologues publicly organize, celebrate, and even cast curses against specific leaders and policies. This opposition has not been symbolic or fringe. It has been open, coordinated, and proud.
The question Christians should be asking is not whether they like a politician, but why the same cast of characters consistently appears on one side of the fight. When predators are prosecuted, abortion is restricted, and children are defended, the backlash is immediate and ferocious. That reaction alone should cause believers to pause and take notice.
The Silence From the Pulpit Is the Real Scandal
The most troubling observation in this conversation was not political. It was pastoral.
There are church leaders who eagerly lecture congregations about compassion, tolerance, and avoiding offense. But when openly demonic rhetoric, abortion extremism, or sexual confusion takes center stage, those same leaders suddenly find reasons to stay quiet.
Many will not even say the bare minimum: I may not like every decision, but I will not stand with this. That silence is not neutrality. It is abdication of moral responsibility.
Compassion Without Discernment Becomes Complicity
Modern progressive theology often elevates compassion while stripping it of truth. It sounds holy, but it produces confusion. Compassion that refuses to name sin, refuses to acknowledge evil, and refuses to draw boundaries becomes a tool of manipulation.
Christians are repeatedly told to ignore what their eyes can plainly see and instead follow their feelings. But Scripture never instructs believers to outsource discernment to emotion. The first deception began with the question, Did God really say? That same question is now echoed from podiums and pulpits alike.
Biblical Discernment Still Applies
For Christians navigating politics without surrendering their faith, a few principles remain timeless.
Evil does not oppose itself.
Truth is not determined by popularity.
Compassion without truth is not biblical compassion.
Silence in the face of wickedness is not wisdom.
These principles are not partisan. They are biblical. And they apply regardless of who holds office or how uncomfortable the conclusions may be.
Discernment, Not Emotion, Must Lead
The pastor’s warning cuts through the noise: stop leading with emotion and start leading with discernment. Christians are not called to pledge loyalty to parties or personalities, but we are called to recognize spiritual realities when they present themselves plainly.
If the coalition defending your political home includes those who curse, dehumanize, and openly mock Gods order, it may be time to re examine not just your vote, but your assumptions.
This moment demands courage from both the pew and the pulpit. Share the truth. Return to Scripture. And refuse to let silence masquerade as faithfulness.
