Two Big Realities Exposed by the Current 'Purging' of Conservative Voices

The vacuum is real.

To me, the apparent 'purge' by big tech, social media, and now various companies and banks—which began with Twitter and Facebook banning President Trump, because they claim he 'incited' the breach on Capitol Hill—drives home two important points. (Image: by Aimee Herd)

As I share these, know that I am preaching to myself here, as much as anyone else:

1. We must hold tightly to the TRUTH, to our FAITH, and press in to JESUS. We cannot allow ourselves to grow hateful toward those of different views (even if they have toward our views). Yes, there is a righteous anger toward the works of the enemy of our souls, and what he is trying to do to this country. But Believers-in-Jesus are called to LOVE, which never fails by the way. (See 1Cor.13:8) So, let us not react, but ACT according to what the Lord says.

2. There is an obvious and urgent need for Believers and freedom-loving-Americans to establish tech platforms such as hosting sites, and payment sites, so alternatives to those doing the purging can survive—and thrive!

This purging has exposed the extreme power wielded by companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Twitter and Facebook; I see that as an exposure that needed to happen. The vacuum is real. They have WAY too much power!

I know for a fact there are many brilliant young people who know the value of our First Amendment rights; perhaps NOW is their time to step up and put their knowledge to work.

I am praying for just that, and for God to direct their path and bring their gifts to fruition.

Hold fast, Body of Christ!

Remember when the Disciples were in the boat with Jesus and the storm arose, they became terrified. But Jesus was not worried in the least—He was actually able to sleep in the midst of it. That's because He knew without a doubt that His Father God was in control. And of course, later, He calmed the storm.

We are IN the storm. But none of this is a surprise to the Lord, and He is still GOD.

"Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the Word of Life..." -Phil.2:14-16a

Hold tightly to the Word of Life which is Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Remember, we don't see the whole picture—we only see 'through a glass darkly.'

But God sees it all, and His ways are HIGHER. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
