Christian Vigilantism?
A topic you’ve probably never heard anyone talk about. That’s because people in high places are too afraid to lose support for speaking their minds on tough topics. If no one else will tackle this issue, then I figure it’s up to me. What IS Christian Vigilantism?
What else are Americans losing that ought to cause us to take to the streets? Marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God, and it’s being steadily broken down day by day in America. Not only are divorce rates at 50%, but adultery is considered almost socially acceptable and there is no legal punishment. Dare I go further? Marriage is between a man and a woman, as defined in every one of the 7.5 billion Bibles produced in the world, and dictionaries too. Yet government officials even seek to change this! Is nothing sacred? Does morality exist in America any longer? How can justice possibly be served in such a hostile crisis as we are in?
The answer is simple. All that was ever sacred is still sacred. A select few of American society still possess a strong sense of morality, justice, and Christianity. Justice can stem from no better place. It’s time for us to stop just talking the talk and start walking the walk. In the midst of chaos and turmoil, Christian soldiers stand tall. The emotional and psychological resiliency of these men compares to no other. There comes a time in a man’s life when he must fight for what he believes in. And, my friends, that time is rapidly approaching. It’s time to stand up or sit down. Justice comes from the people, and justice is best achieved through the values of Christianity. You are either for it, or against it.
America may be wobbling, but she’s not down. She only needs a crutch to lean her broken body upon, the same crutch she used for centuries that the government has so fervently sought to burn to ashes. Actually, a crutch is a terrible metaphor. The FOUNDATION of this nation was built upon God, and the foundation is being slowly eroded by termites. And these termites are embodied by the criminals that flood our streets, breaking the laws and principles that our duty is to protect. This is a sad disgrace on the face of America. So we have a choice. We can follow the example set by Christ, leaving political correctness behind and rebelling against societal norm by supporting justice for all. Or we can pretend we don’t notice anything wrong.
As Winston Churchill said in a famous speech, “Never… never… never… never give up.” In the midst of all this, we can never give up on love. Loves is still the most powerful weapon in the Christian vigilante’s arsenal, and can solve more problems than gunpowder and lead alone. But nonetheless, crime must be punished and order restored when it is broken, and that typically involves a tougher form of love. Keep in mind that I am not advocating revolution, just vigilantism.
The principles of this nation crumble more with each passing day. People are suffering, dying, losing the fight between good and evil without knowing they’re fighting it. America is falling prey to her own failing morality. Crime is a direct result, and things that should be crime are not. The government has failed to protect our rights and principles. But justice never dies. God is still on his throne and still in control, and if we don’t stand up to fight for what He has called us to do, this nation will surely collapse from within. That leaves only one question unanswered: Will you take a stand?

I am a believer in Christ but I do have exceptions when it comes to abortion rights, gay rights, and our right in faith being taken away by the government. They can’t do nothing about anything. Pimps are holding women hostage everyday and politicians are having a big feast at the white house. Christians are always spiteful against abortion and homosexuality, they plot to commit murder. That’s not vigilantism, that’s just pure God-forbidden murder. We need to depart from that aspect of the bibile because I believe God is trying to test us and we must really love each other (and not in that way you think). If there is anything we should go vigilante against it should be our own government and the criminals. If my plans don’t happen in my future, I would fight all the pimps and human traffickers in this country and all around the world. If there was no suffering there would be no compassion, but there are some that can take action and I intend to do so.
