Reclaiming the Faith of Our Fathers Andrew Torba, July 12, 2024July 12, 2024 Share this: In recent years, we have witnessed the relentless erosion of our cultural and religious heritage. The faith of our fathers, the foundation of Western civilization, has been under constant attack by demonic antichrist subverters who have twisted and distorted it beyond recognition. As Christians, it is our sacred duty to reclaim this faith and restore its glory. We must rise against the forces of darkness and raise Christendom from the ashes of modernity. The State of Modern Christendom The modern world has seen a rapid decline in Christian values and morality. This is due to the relentless assault by the forces of secular humanism, cultural Marxism, and other nefarious ideologies that seek to undermine the very foundations of our society. Our once-great institutions, like the Church, have been infiltrated and subverted, leaving them barely recognizable. The subverters have taken control of the media, academia, and the entertainment industry, using these platforms to spread their anti-Christian propaganda. They have redefined morality, promoted sinful lifestyles, and pushed for the removal of God from every aspect of public life. As a result, our society has become increasingly hostile towards Christianity, and we are now at a critical juncture in history. As I reflect on the state of the church today, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of concern for the direction in which it is heading. The modern church, once a bastion of steadfast faith and unwavering commitment to the teachings of Christ, has become alarmingly lukewarm. It has chosen to appease the world rather than stand firm in its convictions, seeking to please and become like Christ. This lukewarmness is evident in various aspects of the modern church, from its teachings and practices to its engagement with the broader culture. The church has seemingly lost sight of its divine purpose, succumbing to the pressures of a secular world that demands conformity and compromise. One of the most striking examples of this lukewarmness is the church’s approach to issues of morality and biblical truth. Instead of upholding the timeless principles of scripture, many churches have chosen to reinterpret or even ignore certain teachings in order to align themselves with the shifting moral landscape of our culture. This has led to a dilution of the gospel message, as churches prioritize being “relevant” and “inclusive” over fidelity to the word of God. The church’s engagement with the broader culture is another area in which its lukewarmness is apparent. Rather than serving as a beacon of truth and righteousness in a world that desperately needs it, many churches have chosen to blend in and conform to the prevailing cultural norms. This has resulted in a church that is often indistinguishable from the world, lacking the distinctiveness and boldness that characterized the early church. This trend of lukewarmness is not only concerning from a theological standpoint but also from a practical one. As the church becomes more like the world, it loses its ability to effectively disciple and transform the lives of its members. A lukewarm church produces lukewarm Christians, who are neither fully committed to Christ nor fully engaged with the world around them. So, what can be done to reverse this trend and restore the church to its former glory? The answer lies in a return to the foundational principles of our faith. We must recommit ourselves to the study and application of God’s word, seeking to understand and live out its teachings in every aspect of our lives. We must also rekindle our passion for evangelism and discipleship, striving to reach the lost and equip the saved for the work of ministry. As Christian Nationalists, we must take a stand against the forces of secularism and worldliness that are seeking to undermine the church. We must boldly proclaim the truth of the gospel and call our fellow believers to a higher standard of discipleship and service. Only then can we hope to reverse the tide of lukewarmness that has engulfed the modern church and restore it to its rightful place as a shining city on a hill. The Call to Reclaim the Faith of Our Fathers In order to reclaim the faith of our fathers, we must first recognize the severity of the situation and the urgency of our mission. We cannot afford to be complacent or apathetic in the face of this existential threat to our faith and way of life. It is time for us to rise up and take a stand against the demonic antichrist subverters who seek to destroy everything we hold dear. We must begin by reestablishing the importance of traditional family values and the sanctity of marriage. We must promote the ideal of the nuclear family, with a father as the head of the household, a mother as the nurturer, and children who are raised to love and serve God. This will serve as the foundation upon which we can rebuild our society and restore its Christian heritage. In addition, we must work to reclaim our institutions, such as the Church, the media, and academia. We must support and promote Christian leaders who are willing to stand up for our faith and resist the forces of darkness. We must create alternative platforms for news, entertainment, and education that uphold Christian values and provide a counterbalance to the secular humanist propaganda that dominates our culture. The Role of Education in Reclaiming the Faith One of the most critical aspects of reclaiming the faith of our fathers is the education of our children. We must ensure that our children are taught the truth about our history, our culture, and our faith. This means that we must take control of the education system and create schools that promote Christian values and a biblical worldview. Parents must be actively involved in their children’s education, ensuring that they are being taught the truth and not the lies of the secular humanist agenda. We must support homeschooling initiatives and encourage more families to take control of their children’s education. The Importance of Spiritual Renewal In addition to the practical steps we must take to reclaim our faith and our culture, we must also focus on spiritual renewal. We must turn our hearts back to God and seek His guidance and wisdom in all that we do. We must pray for the conversion of our enemies and for the preservation of our Christian heritage. We must also recognize the importance of unity among Christians. We must set aside our denominational differences and work together for the common goal of restoring Christendom. We must support and encourage one another in our efforts to resist the forces of darkness and reclaim the faith of our fathers. The road ahead will not be easy, and there will be many challenges and setbacks along the way. However, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to reclaim the faith of our fathers and restore the glory of Christendom. We must trust in God’s providence and His promise to preserve His remnant. As we stand together in this battle for the soul of our civilization, let us remember the words of the Apostle Paul: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). Let us take up this mantle and continue the fight, knowing that victory is assured for those who remain faithful to the end. Let us join this movement and work together to reclaim the faith of our fathers and restore Christendom to its former glory.
