Trust your instincts.

If you think we’re headed for civil war, you are absolutely right.

I know that sounds unimaginable to some people, but history shows us that we’re on the same course many nations have been on before that ended that way – more specifically, the Spanish Civil War.

Yet the time to wonder how such a thing could happen is not when there are already bodies in the streets, empty shelves at the grocer, or hospitals overflowing with casualties.

The time is now.
You are on the precipice, dangling over the edge, looking down at a generations long war of attrition with your fellow man.

How did we get here?

Let us continue to use history as our guide.

Shortly before the outbreak of civil war in Spain, Cardinal Segura of Toledo wrote perhaps the most important letter to come from the Church at that time.

Heed his words.

“If we remain quiet and idle, if we allow ourselves to give way to apathy and timidity; if we leave open the way to those who are attempting to destroy religion, or if we expect the benevolence of our enemies to secure the triumph of our ideals, we shall have no right to lament when bitter reality shows us that we had victory in our hands yet knew not how to fight like intrepid warriors prepared to succumb gloriously.’

His letter rings as true today as it did almost 100 years ago.

The scathing criticism of Spain’s passive inaction in the face of the the new Republic’s secular policies would lead to the destruction of the Church if not stopped then, and it will do the same now.

So what can be done in the face of such evil and imminent destruction?

How can we face such impossible odds?

Let the life of Nehemiah be an inspiration for the church to break from it’s over-spiritualization of the battle it’s in, and to deal with the very real and physical threat it faces.

“From that day on, half of my servants carried on the work while half of them held the spears, the shields, the bows and the breastplates: and the captains were behind the whole house of Judah.

Those who were rebuilding the wall and those who carried burdens took their load with one hand doing the work and the other holding a weapon.”

I love that line.

Their load in one hand and a weapon in the other.

It’s time for the Christian man to do the same.

You’ve got enemies?

Good.

Face them, and enjoy the opportunity to spend your life in a worthy cause and to preserve the Bride of Christ; his Church.
