“A civilization is not destroyed by wicked men; it is destroyed by weak men who cannot defend what is good.” — G. K. Chesterton

Civilizations undefended lead to barbarism unintended.

Weakness is worse than wickedness. Good men who are not good at being men are no better than wicked men. Wickedness, for all its faults, never skips leg day. It is always raring to go and it keeps its eye on the prize. Goodness, for all it virtues, sometimes gets soft. It prefers peace to war and so it sometimes forgets that it is in war. Wickedness never forgets.

“Every high civilization decays by forgetting obvious things.” — G.K. Chesterton

Society’s are smashed from without because they have gone soft from within. They end up with rosters rounded out by round men who cannot rise up to defend their people. Civilization, if it is not in shape, will be overcome by barbarism.

“If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.” — Thomas Sowell

If civilization cannot or will not use force, it will be conquered by that which will. Barbarism is brutalitarian. It believes that might makes right and if the right have no might to debate with, the battle will soon be over. The good, the true, and the beautiful can make a better case for their way of life being better, but if they cannot meet the force of the bad, the false, and the ugly, their force will overrun civiilization.

In short, a civilization can only be defeated by the inferiority of chaos by forfeiting its strengths. If it adopts a “diversity is our strength” mentality, they deserve the whooping they’re about to get.

“Cultures are built by men with families to feed.” — Douglas Wilson, 2020 Vision/The Year Many Christians Begin to See Clearly

The Creator made men creative. When this ingenuity is employed for the purposes of providing for those over whom the Creator has made the man responsible, it results in full bellies, warm hearts, excellence in achievement, and artistry in endeavor.

Cultures are carried along by stories and songs. Songs and stories then are not merely sold for profit, but told by prophets. They capture what was, what is, and the promise of what could be.

The more a man desires to tend to his household, the better the stories and songs will resonate with those under his roof and other households outside his own; and as a result, community and culture flourish.

Ecclesiastes 4:5
The fool folds his hands
and eats his own flesh.

By refusing to force his hands to work, the fool’s hand is forced.

Avoiding hard work invites hard decisions.

If your belly cannot motivate you to work for food, it will motivate you to reconsider what you’re willing to eat.

Proverbs 27:7
The full soul loatheth an honeycomb;
but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

A famished fool will count a bitter herb better than nothing. He will call it sweet because it is something. The dissatisfied soul would rather drink poison than be thirsty.

2 Thessalonians 3:10-11
For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.

If you are not willing to do honest work for lawful food you will find dishonest ways to acquire anything to fill your belly.

“Every ‘Allahu Akbar’ reminds people that we’re in a very serious struggle with a very depraved religion.” — Christopher Hitchens on Islam

Islam is not a respectable monotheistic religion, it is a detestable abomination. It is a Christian heresy inaugurated by conversation with a sand demon. It advances on the grounds of might makes right which is wrongheadedness incarnate.

“There will never be peace on this earth so long as we have this book [the Quran]...it’s a violent and cursed book.” — Sir William Gladstone

When the world is entirely under the footstool of Christ, weapons will be hammered down into farm implements, but not before then. The reign of Christ will be peace. If Islam were to envelop the world, wars would not end. Islam is a religion of warfare. The God of creation inserted enmity into the story in the Garden of Eden when He initiated the holy war between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. The goal of that war, however, is peace. God wages peace. He puts down wickedness with peace in mind. The wars will end when wickedness is ended. Peace is at war with warfare and when it wins, warfare will be destroyed. But until then, we fight the good fight of waging peace. Islam is one of those things we must fight. You cannot partner with mayhem without reaping more mayhem.

“A civilization is not destroyed by wicked men; it is destroyed by weak men who cannot defend what is good.” — G. K. Chesterton

We do not need more coexist cult apologists advocating for harmony and respect among entities that despise each other. The flesh is at war with the Spirit and the Spirit returns the favor. They are in each other’s way. They want different things and go about achieving their ends in different ways. They cannot coexist. They refuse to place nice, but only one of the two is willing to admit that out loud. Wickedness often postulates a cease fire in order to advance its cause. Peace never relents. It would never suggest such a compromise. It would never allow the holy to be a little bit corrupted for the sake of preserving holiness. To compromise is to concede. To flounder is to forfeit.

“An increase in the influence of women in public life has often been associated with national decline. The later Romans complained that, although Rome ruled the world, women ruled Rome. In the tenth century, a similar tendency was observable in the Arab Empire, the women demanding admission to the professions hitherto monopolised by men.” — Sir John Glubb, The Fates of Empires

When women and children are in charge, men have failed. The men have not failed to lead, they have failed to lead well. Strictly speaking, God has made men to lead. This is inexorable. Men cannot not lead. So, even where women and children rule the roost, it is the men who led the procession to crown them. Men can lead poorly. They can push women and children out front and into authority, but they cannot remove themselves from their responsibilities.

It is good and godly for a man to put women and children ahead of himself where hot food or escape from danger is considered and bad and wicked when he puts them into positions of ultimate authority and responsibility.

Women in places of power points to weak men off somewhere else. No man worth his salt would stand idly by. He can’t. So if a man does, it is his vacuum that is filled in. Men can abandon their posts, but they can’t abandon the fact that the post is theirs.

“In the hive and the ant-hill we see fully realised the two things that some of us most dread for our own species—the dominance of the female and the dominance of the collective.” — C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy

Matriarchy and the hive-mind make the bee’s life a microcosm of what Feminism and Socialism are attempting to accomplish. It is no wonder that men like Barfield and Lewis found this diorama repulsive. Mind you, this was written in 1955. The seed forms of the effeminatti and the cult of the comrade were merely cutting teeth back then. However, if that much can happen in 70 years, it can also happen in the opposite direction, and in less time, no doubt, since sanity has the advantage of steady strides whereas insanity stumbles over itself every other step like a drunk runner-up prom queen missing one of her heels.

“Without justice what are kingdoms but great bands of robbers? And what is a band of robbers but such a kingdom in miniature? It is a band of men under the rule of a leader, bound together by a pact of friendship, and their booty is divided among them by an agreed rule. Such a blot on society, if it grows, assumes for itself the proud name of kingdom.” — Augustine, City of God

A kingdom of cutthroats will not survive an encounter with the kingdom of Christ. It is Christ or chaos and if you set up a rival kingdom, it will be cut down. After all, you cannot go on cutting throats indefinitely. Eventually you run out of people to pierce. Christ’s Kingdom will come and all other kingdoms will go. Their gates cannot hold out against the battering ram of God’s goodness and grace.

The lesser kingdoms have been established by Christ as His deacons of wrath. They are to promote the good and punish the evil. They are to uphold justice and ensure peace and quiet for Christian people. God has not deputized the State to be deacons according to their own agendas. They are not to redistribute the bread of a nation based on their own whims. They are to enforce His law by His standards. They are not above the law. They do not have the authority to make laws that contradict His law. They are to govern by His grace and for the good of the governed. If they refuse to appeal to the justice of God, they will insist on the injustice of man.

“When the eighth commandment prohibits theft (Ex. 20:15)), what is presupposed there ? I will tell you. The institution of private property is presupposed. The institution of private property is being honored. The prohibition presupposes the institution of private property, and it obviously exists in order to protect that institution.

Property rights are human rights... The reason why socialist governments have such an untrammeled record of abusing human beings is that they begin the entire process by denying one of the foundation stones of human rights, which is property. Pure and simple, without a deep respect for property that the government cannot touch, human rights declarations are nothing more than the flattering words that turkey farmers offer to the turkeys in the run up to Thanksgiving.

But I should anticipate one obvious question. Since the Scriptures do have a category of legitimate taxation (Rom. 13: 6-7), and because a government can obviously steal, where is the dividing line between the two? When does legitimate taxation become theft? The answer I would offer is this. When the government uses its powers of taxation in an attempt to rival or surpass God’s financial claim on us (which is the tithe), the government is abusing its authority to tax. (1 Sam. 8:15) But the fact is that most of us think that getting taxation back down to 10 percent seems like a libertarian opium dream. This just shows us just how far gone we are in our idolatrous statism.” — Douglas Wilson, 3 Reasons Why Socialism Should Not Be Considered As The Butterfly’s Boots

Property rights are the assumed principle behind God’s command that thou shall not steal. And the thou in question is anyone looking to take someone else’s property without their permission. Citizens grant their government permission to exact taxes from them. It is the cost of obtaining the benefit of being somewhere. But the qualification here is that anything more than 10% presumes an exaction that rivals that of God.

“Horrible nations have horrible religions.” — C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

You become like what you worship, for better or for worse.

Psalm 135:15-18
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;
they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
Those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them.

If you worship a sand demon, you will be gritty and gross like your god.
If you worship a plethora of monsters, you will be monstrous.

But enough about Islam and Hinduism.

By the grace of God, this principle works in the other direction as well, however.

2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

If you worship the one, true God, you will become like His one and only-begotten Son. You will be conformed to the image of Christ and confirmed as a child of God.

Horrible people invent horrible gods and horrible idols inspire horrible things from horrible people. It is a viscous cycle, but it is not beyond hope.

1 John 3:8
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

The demons do not have the run of the place and their cut-rate religions will go down to the lake of fire along with them in the end. The nations will be baptized and all the crud will be washed down the drain.

Maranatha!

“It may be inferred again that the present movement for women’s rights will certainly prevail from the history of its only opponent, Northern conservatism. This [Northern conservatism] is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt hath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom. It always when about to enter a protest very blandly informs the wild beast whose path it essays to stop, that its ‘bark is worse than its bite,’ and that it only means to save its manners by enacting its decent role of resistance: The only practical purpose which it now subserves in American politics is to give enough exercise to Radicalism to keep it ‘in wind.’ and to prevent its becoming pursy and lazy, from having nothing to whip.” — R.L. Dabney

American conservatism could never be convicted of conviction. There would not be enough evidence to indict. It would never submit itself to martyrdom. It sees compromised survival as superior to principled sacrifice. Living to fight another day is more important than losing a battle. But in the wisdom of God, a principle that dies is more potent than a compromise that lives.

“If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.” — Thomas Sowell

Civilization is only sustainable by grace through faith in the One whom everything is held together. It is not passively obtained, but actively maintained. Nothing and no one drifts toward order. All history is heading towards consolidation under its one Head because He is forcing it into that mold by His good and sovereign discretion.

Civilizations undefended lead to barbarism unintended.

Our radical corruption ensures that without a sustained faith in our Sustainer, we will either tear down our walls from within or watch them be torn down by unbelievers from without. Sin is devastation and salvation is civilization. Sin tears down. Love builds up. If you are not prepared to fight for what you love, you will watch your beloved be ravaged by the barbarism of your neighbors or your enemies.

What we are not willing to sweat for in peace, we will bleed out in war.

raise ‘em right 💪🏼⚔️🐉

Genesis 3:15
I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.

Raising godly seed is not sitting the battle out; it is the battlefield.

1 Timothy 2:13-15
For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing-if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

Being required to raise your kids is not being forbidden to fight; it is being required to fight by raising your kids.

Every Christian home is a victory garden.
