Describing the current assault on law enforcement as a spiritual battle between good and evil, former national security adviser Michael Flynn is urging Christians not only to pray but to take action. "When the destiny of the United States is at stake, and it is, the very future of the entire world is threatened," Flynn wrote in a guest column published exclusively by the Western Journal.
"As Christians, shouldn’t we act? We recognize that divine Providence is the ultimate judge of our destiny. Achieving our destiny as a freedom-loving nation, Providence compels us to do our part in our communities."
Flynn said Christians can "no longer pretend that these dark forces are going to go away by mere prayer alone. Prayers matter, but action is required." "This action is needed at the local, state and federal levels. Action is also required in the economic, media, clerical and ecclesiastical realms," he said.
Flynn opened his column noting the nation is "witnessing a vicious assault by enemies of all that is good, and our president is having to act in ways unprecedented in decades, maybe centuries."
"The biblical nature of good versus evil cannot be discounted as we examine what is happening on the streets of America," he said.
"It's Marxism in the form of antifa and the Black Lives Matter movement versus our very capable and very underappreciated law enforcement professionals, the vast majority of whom are fighting to provide us safe and secure homes, streets and communities."
