The New Dark Ages

August 4, 2015 The Prophetic Voice of Chuck Colson
By Eric Metaxas

If you’ve ever wondered what Chuck Colson would say about the way things are going these days, wonder no longer.

A new book, which is landing in bookstores today, warns that we are headed for a new Dark Ages. “Persecution [is] coming to the church soon,” the author warns. “It’s going to happen as a result of conflicts over sex.” He predicts that “the break in the wall is the tax exemption” churches now enjoy. If churches refuse to “marry” homosexual couples, they will lose their exemption.

Who is the author of these predictions? None other than Chuck Colson, who went home to the Lord more than three years ago. That’s three years before the Supreme Court legalized same-sex “marriage”—something biologically impossible, by the way.

The book is titled “My Final Word: Holding Tight to the Issues that Matter Most.” It’s a collection of never-before published memos that Chuck sent to his writing staff, reporters, even presidential candidates who wanted his advice. And as the examples I just cited illustrates, Chuck’s writings are incredibly prophetic.

Chuck read widely and had conversations with experts on many subjects. He also had an ability to look at the past and analyze current events in order to predict what was coming. For instance, he notes in one memo that “the entire sixties movement for personal autonomy was over sex.” He quotes Phillip Johnson, who, Chuck writes, argued “that the entire culture war is rooted in sex, and that the destruction of the rule of law itself is traceable to the desire for total sexual freedom.”

A string of Supreme Court decisions provides all the proof we need of our culture’s obsession with sexual freedom: Roe v. Wade, Casey v. Planned Parenthood, Romer v. Evans, and now, of course, Obergefell v. Hodges. All reflect the elevation of sexual freedom and personal autonomy above all other rights—including freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Chuck urged Christians to keep fighting to protect genuine marriage, but he knew the Supreme Court was quite capable of doing what it did in Roe v. Wade: ignoring the Constitution and simply imposing its own opinion about marriage on the entire country.

If that happened, he predicted, our religious liberties would be in the crossfire. As he asked in a memo to one of his writers, “Are [churches] going to be required to perform gay ‘marriages’ when the court rules that marriage is an inherent civil right?” He also pointed out that in Canada and Denmark, “preaching against homosexuality is already a crime.” And in America, he predicted that Christian ministries would be denied federal funds if they refused to hire practicing homosexuals.

What to do about this? Chuck—a former Marine who was known as the toughest of the tough guys in the Nixon White House—did not waver when it came to combating the coming assaults on religious freedom. “We fight every inch of the way,” he writes. “We’re certainly not going to conform—Lord help us! ... The church will have to hold its ground and refuse to knuckle under.”

But, Chuck adds, “We must also prepare ourselves by discipling people to be courageous about proclaiming their faith.” Chuck reminds us of what happened when the German Church gave in to Nazi demands. “It gave Hitler the power he needed. The Barmen Declaration came too late to stop him.”

Having worked for Chuck and having received my share of memos from him, I’m telling you, reading this book is like having him back with us. I hope you’ll go to our online bookstore at BreakPoint.org and get yourself and your friends a copy or two of Chuck’s new book, “My Final Word.” You’ll learn what Chuck had to say about the future of bio-ethics, Islam, persecution, judicial usurpation, and many other issues we’re facing today.

And then you, too, will understand why the church is facing a new Dark Ages—and, more importantly, what we can do about it.

Truth & Freedom Files
"With all these lies, someone has to tell the truth."
Truth, marriage, children, family, fathers, mothers, freedoms of speech, religion and conscience are good things and are worth fighting for, so please share, tweet, email, letterbox drop, start blogs, write and visit politicians, and talk with your family and friends until common-sense is restored.

"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." Ronald Reagan

"Marriage is, has always been and can only ever be between a man and a woman. It was 'born this way.' It can be nothing else, that is the truth. People who identify as homosexual have the same dignity as all other human beings and should be treated with the utmost respect. They are free to do as they like. But truth is still truth. Legislating a falsehood and imposing it on society, especially on children, does not change the truth. What should concern everyone is what comes next after marriage."

There are plenty of people speaking up for LGBTI and the cultural Marxists engulfing our once young and free society (or doing and saying nothing due to the intimidation tactics these movements employ). They do not need any more help, they have affectively taken Australia. But where are the responsible adults protecting our nation's children? Australia's children are Australia's future. This site seeks to speak up on their behalf.
This forceful movement, supposedly seeking to defend the rights of a minority, are in the process inflicting incredible damage on children, who are being so confused, and to be frank, abused, by this movement. How do we help children to process this forcefully imposed "normalization" or "mardi-gra-ification" of our society? Surely not by silence or capitulation. Probably through boldly and persistently speaking the truth.

Western freedom is under imminent threat. The enemy is at the gates, they have gained control of education, universities, media, political parties. It will be a long and draining battle to regain lost ground, but it can be done, as it has been done throughout all previous attacks.
Our forefathers fought bad ideas and ideologies last century so we could be free today. We have taken this freedom for granted. Please defend against the bad ideological experiment of today, the anti-freedom political ideology imposing intolerant changes on our society such as same-sex "marriage," homosexual promotion, recruitment and indoctrination and gender confusion.

Encouraging the normalization of abnormal behaviour, especially to children, by changing laws does not serve the public good in any way, nor does it benefit our nation's children.

Every single human being has an innate dignity, worth and value and should be respected. That dignity is weakened by encouraging wrong behavior. Governments have a duty to restrain behavior which is bad for people and society, not to normalize it and unleash the consequences on the wider society.

For the record, TrueMarriageEquality.com, (an aggregator site of news and articles covering the attempt by the ideological and political movement to take over Western society) is not anti-anyone and has no phobia against anyone. We are for people, and we especially seek to defend children, who need BOTH their mother and father if at all possible.. We recognize there are serious consequences from following wrong paths in life and desire to speak up about some of these wrong paths/bad ideas/assaults on good society and freedom. We simply desire to: defend and preserve marriage, mainly for children’s sake; stop the indoctrination of children and youth into harmful sexual practices; speak against the sexualization of children; speak against the gender confusion movement; warn of an impending major health crisis in our society from following wrong paths; prevent the further abolition of our society’s moral foundations; and defend truth and freedoms of speech, religion and conscientious objection. .

"Defending marriage and family is about defending freedom and children. People lose their freedom by deception or force, never knowingly or willingly. We need to wake up to the very real threat at our doorstep."

Expose the Lie, Defend the Truth.
This blog is not against people in any way, but rather seeks to defend children and freedom against the tyranny of the consequences of wrong behavior and the political ideology behind the cultural Marxist movement imposing its worldview at the expense of any other views. Just as people can be against Christianity but not against Christians, or against Islam but not against Muslims, so people should be free to be against dangerous ideology and lifestyle promotion and indoctrination while not being against the proponents.

This Blog simply mostly gathers and re-posts emails, articles, comments, quotes, and links from around the web and other news sources to help expose the modern deception called "Equality," a legal Trojan horse which could dismantle our free society from within by effectively silencing our moral foundations which have served us so well and imposing a Marxist ideology on our once young and free nation.

This movement seeks to change our laws thus teaching and promoting things which goes against most people's conscience and beliefs, let alone common-sense. If successful there will have to be major growth of big (i.e. Totalitarian) government, government imposed and enforced definitions of morality, and a major decline in many personal freedoms. Other minority groups will then demand legal "equality."

Most importantly it is not good for children to deny them a mother or a father. Children need protection from bad ideas, bad ideologies and from adults seeking to harm them. So, if for no other reason, please defend truth for the sake of the children. Remember, you too were once a child.
