As New York City sits under the oppressive rule or an Islamo-Marxist Mayor, Americans must remember NYC was once a Christian city.
Consider this quote from Philip Schaff, which comes a century before this picture.
“In 1854 there were in New York city, forty-eight Episcopal churches, forty-eight Presbyterian, thirty-five Methodist, nineteen Reformed Dutch, twenty-nine Baptist, eight Congregational, five Lutheran, and twenty-four Roman Catholic; besides the church edifices of several smaller denominations and sects, which must swell the number now to nearly 300.”
By Schaff's estimation, it was the prominence of these churches and their Sabbath-keeping that prevented New York City from becoming a “second Paris" (a city of infidels).
Tragically, as New York's churches departed from the faith, NYC became like Paris, so that today both are overrun by Muslims and Globalists.
For NYC, the largest part of the vacuum has come at the hands of liberal Christians who denied the gospel and emptied the churches and orthodox Christians who accommodated their faith and practice to culture so that churches no longer impressed Christian values on society.
Yes, there remains a remnant. But their voice has been drowned out by the "Sabbath-keeping" of Muslims praying in Times Square.
Hearing Mandami remake America into the image of his own ideologies is bad. But knowing what Christians abandoned to give him this platform only makes it worse.
If this is not a wake up call for the church in America's greatest city, I am not sure what is. But as America celebrates our country's 250th, may those Christians who love our country be so bold as to ask God to make the places where they live, Christian again.
The nations and its cities belong to Christ, and he has given his church the assignment of preaching the gospel to all peoples, so that churches would fill the cities, and cities would be turned upside down, as idols are thrown down and Christ is lifted up.
America began as a such a Christian commonwealth, with Protestant churches at the center of the city and civil spheres of various sizes shaped by a cadre of customs, laws, and commitments drawn from the Bible. But today the totalitarian ideologies of secularism, socialism, and Islam have moved into territory once occupied by Christians in the America.
Therefore, as July 4 drives us to consider our past, Christ's people must ask the Father to give the Son all the cities of the earth.
How often Psalm 2:8 has been used to catalyze missionaries to leave America and go the other side of the world. And rightly so. But the same Psalm should spur Americans to once again pray for our nation and all of its cities--the ones that were built by Christians and for the glory of Christ.
In 2026, we must remember our nation's Christian heritage and the full measure of our Christian calling. And we must not think that Christ will permit smug secularism and Mohammedan Marxism to win the day
Psalm 2:8 invites the Son to "ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession." And Revelation 2:26–27 applies this Psalm to the church. So on this day, as we celebrate America's history, may we remember its heritage and ask the Lord to have mercy on us and to pour out his grace again.
BREAKING: The Somali flag flying over Buffalo City Hall has been reportedly STOLEN just hours after it was raised.
Buffalo's Democrat Mayor Sean Ryan, claims that individuals cut the cable in the middle of the night and took the flag down. He then goes on a rant about "diversity."
Police are currently investigating, and no charges have been filed.
Imagine if a pregnant lady broke into your house and had a baby in your living room, and then says she now has a legal right to stay in your house FOREVER — that's how insane it is granting birthright citizenship to illegals.
Official transcript from the US Senate on May 30, 1866. Senator Jacob Howard, who introduced the 14th Amendment:
"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens...”
SCOTUS got this ruling 100% wrong. A total travesty.
Call me a stickler, but if you regularly paint public school as “government school” and “taxpayer funded indoctrination”, where those who “don’t know what time it is” send their kids, your opinion on what is or isn’t included in the curriculum is not particularly relevant. 🤓
JD Hall appeared on Tucker Carlson saying that Muslims were "very kind" to Christians, didn't "tax churches," and even "took care of our holy sites."
In this brief video, I debunk these claims with the actual historical record:
Islam is a dark, inherently violent religion that puts all citizens at risk. The most responsible course of action would be to make it illegal to practice Islam anywhere in America. If you're worried about ensuing violence, it only proves the point. Make it happen, lawmakers!
The idea of a “post-Christian society” assumes the prior existence of a “Christian society.”
Lamenting the loss of a Christian society assumes that preserving the Christian society is worth doing
Working to preserve a Christian society is….well…what should we call that?
My takeaways from tonight's Congressional elections in NYC
(1) I despise Mamdani but he has shown himself to be an incredibly formidable politician. Underestimate him at your peril.
He endorsed against two Congressional incumbents in high risk races and looks like he's going to win both of them with Lander and Chevalier. Plus his third "outsider" endorsement of Valdez also won easily.
(2) Mass Immigration and cultural drift has truly made NYC a post-American city. That's the future of America if we don't close the border and have mass deportations. All three of Mamdani's endorsees are literal self-declared socialists who will now be in Congress.
(3) Israel, and in particular AIPAC are absolutely toxic in a Democrat primary-- especially anywhere vaguely "progressive"-- Israel was arguably the central issue in all three of these primaries and the candidate that was more hostile to Israel won in each. Expect a lot of Democrats to swing much harder against both AIPAC and Israel going forward.
(4) The radicalism of these soon-to-be Congressmen is going to be a headache for Democrat leadership in the House and a gift to the GOP.
The future of the Democrat party is radical and post-American in it's orientation. Since all of these candidates are in the world's media capital, they are going to get tons of attention.
That isn't going to play well for the Dems in 2026 and 2028.
