We live in turbulent times—anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear knows that. The 4th Turning. The West has been unraveling, its moral fabric torn apart by decades of relativism, secularism, and a creeping authoritarianism dressed up as progress. In this chaos, Christians have a choice: cower in silence or stand firm with a declaration that cuts through the noise like a blade—Christ is King. This isn’t just a phrase; it’s a lifeline, a rallying cry, and a defiant assertion of truth. It’s essential for Christians today because it anchors us to the eternal when everything else is sinking sand. And make no mistake: those who smear it, who try to shame or silence it, aren’t just attacking words—they’re waging war on the soul of Western civilization. We must oppose them, not out of spite, but out of necessity if we’re ever to restore a moral core to our society.
Let’s start with why Christ is King matters. For Christians, it’s the cornerstone of our faith—Jesus Christ isn’t just a teacher, a philosopher, or a feel-good mascot for self-help seminars. He’s the sovereign Lord, the Alpha and Omega, the one who conquered death and reigns forever. In a world spiraling into confusion—where men can’t define "woman," where children are mutilated in the name of identity, where power is worshipped over principle—proclaiming Christ is King is a rejection of the madness. It’s a reminder that there’s a higher authority, a transcendent order that doesn’t bend to the whims of ideologues or the tantrums of the mob. When everything’s falling apart, when the institutions we trusted turn against us, Christians need that anchor. It’s not optional; it’s survival.
But here’s the rub: say those three words out loud, and the longhouse comes for you. You know the type—self-appointed speech police who clutch their pearls and cry “bigot” or “extremist” the second you step outside their script. They’ll call it divisive, offensive, even dangerous. They’ll dig through your past, twist your words, and sic their digital mobs on you. Why? Because Christ is King threatens their game. It’s a declaration of independence from their suffocating dogma, a refusal to kneel to the gods of the age—whether that’s DEI, climate hysteria, or whatever new fetish the left cooks up next. They can’t stand it because it’s a power they can’t control.
This isn’t new. Speech policing is a hallmark of the left, straight out of the longhouse playbook. You’ve seen it: the endless lists of forbidden words, the committees formed to enforce them, the nagging tone that demands compliance or else. It’s the same dynamic that’s choked Western culture for too long—matriarchal scolding masquerading as moral superiority. The longhouse doesn’t want debate; it wants submission. And when Christians say Christ is King, they’re not just speaking—they’re rebelling. They’re tearing down the idols and putting the true King back on His throne. That’s why the smears come fast and furious. It’s not about the phrase itself; it’s about what it represents—a refusal to play by their rules.
Look at the groups leading the charge against it. You’ve got the usual suspects: progressive activists, legacy media, atheists, NGOs, and those squishy “tolerant” Christians who’d rather sip lattes with the culture than stand for anything. They’ll say it’s “weaponized” by extremists, or that it alienates people, or—my favorite—that it’s “not the gospel.” Funny how they never cared about alienation when they were ramming their agenda down everyone’s throats. No, this is about power. They want to define what’s acceptable for Christians to say, to shrink our faith into a neutered, inoffensive box. Oppose them? You’re darn right we should. If we let them win this fight, we’re not just losing a phrase—we’re losing the ability to speak truth at all.
Restoring a moral core to the West starts here. It’s not about nostalgia or some utopian rewind to the 1950s. It’s about rebuilding on a foundation that lasts. Christ is King isn’t a political slogan; it’s a metaphysical reality. It reminds us that justice, beauty, and goodness don’t come from human schemes—they flow from Him. The left’s longhouse can’t offer that. Their lists and committees just breed resentment and division. We’ve seen where their road leads: a society of atomized, anxious drones, afraid to say what they believe. Christians have something better—a King worth following, a truth worth defending.
So stand up. Say it loud. Christ is King. Let the smears come—they’re a sign you’re hitting the target. Oppose the speech police, not because it’s easy, but because it’s right. The West hangs in the balance, and we’ve got a fight on our hands. Turbulent times call for bold faith. Anything less is surrender.
When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus." Or that, "Virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice.
1/ The West was never built on equality. It was forged by the strong, the bold, the best. Now we are told to kneel before mediocrity, to erase all hierarchy. But a world without excellence is a world without civilization. Reject weakness. Embrace greatness. Let’s discuss. 🧵👇
Pray with me
February 26, 2025
Father, today I seek Your wisdom and revelation. Your Word reminds us in James 1:5 that if any of us lacks wisdom, we should ask of You, who gives generously to all without finding fault. Lord, I ask for Your guidance, that You may enlighten my mind and open my eyes to the truths that lie before me.
Grant me insight, Lord, to understand Your ways and to discern the path You have set for me. Fill me with knowledge that comes from Your Spirit, so that I may walk in accordance with Your will. Teach me to listen to Your voice and to trust in Your plans, for I know that Your ways are higher than my ways.
Help me to be patient as I seek understanding and to remain steadfast in my pursuit of wisdom. May Your light shine upon my heart, illuminating my thoughts and decisions. I pray that through Your revelation, I may grow closer to You and reflect Your love and grace in all that I do.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
