Note to Mentors – Nov. 16,
2018 – Why the focus on World War I in recent posts? – CL
I will be the first to admit that in
the past my view of WW I was just a war in the many wars of mankind. And just
like most other facts, what I knew – wasn’t so! How so?
Although the seeds were planted
before, WW I literally launched the Progressive era – and we are living in it
NOW. Every institution is now run and controlled by and large by progressives.
What does that tell you about the ability of Conservatives and/or the church to
defend our traditions? But that is a subject for another day. Understanding the
cultural forces in play 100 years ago enables us to deal with and restore
sanity to our culture – which, if anyone has noticed – has been lost.
Human nature has not changed, but
trying to convince progressives of that fact is a fool’s errand. Furthermore,
as the Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians – “For our struggle is not against
flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” – do we assume that message
is only about our personal issues? Why?
It is becoming increasingly evident
that we have some serious and evil spiritual problems in our leadership –
government, religion, politics and culture. If you cannot see that, are you
part of the problem?
With that introduction, here is what
we posted:

And if that is
not enough – I word searched Progressives Progressivism in this archive - https://crushlimbraw.blogspot.com/search?q=progressive+progressivism
– a motherlode of knowledge!
Let’s understand –
our society and culture will not improve through our politics. Our politics are
the result of our culture – which is the result of what? As a mentor, our need
to understand that process is vital to Western Civilization – NOW!
