We must. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-93-conservatives-are-wrong-rihanna-s-performance-was-great-and-ramaswamy-is-better-than-de-santis-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">These falsehoods must be addressed<\/a> head-on \u2014 both as conservatives and followers of God \u2014 because they are dominating our society and causing social dysfunction in leaps and bounds.<\/p>\n<p>So, why does Lucifer and progressives spread such evil? Both sides want you despair.<\/p>\n<p>The Left wants to make you feel hopeless so they can gain political power. To keep you from God forever, the Devil wants you to feel helpless.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Devil and progressives both get you there in different ways. The Left does this after you make an error, while the Devil does it before, during, or after you commit a sin.<\/p>\n<p>For the purposes of this column, let us focus on Satan\u2019s trickery first.<\/p>\n<p>The Devil plays an active role in getting you to sin \u2014 separating yourself from God \u2014 and berates you afterward. He\u2019s very good at it, and it\u2019s part of the human condition. He does it through deception \u2014 which is the Modus Operandi for everything he does. He is the father and master of lies.<\/p>\n<p>He employs a simple strategy in order to accomplish these ends. As explained by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FuCw8UT5y6c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen<\/a>, \u201cBefore the sin, Satan assures us that it is of no consequence; after the sin, he persuades us that it is unforgivable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Or, Venerable Sheen explains it another way: The Devil tricks us into believing that he is. \u201con our side before we sin.\u201d He says Christ is lying and he lies \u201cour accuser.\u201d However, it is possible to reverse the roles afterward. \u201cChrist becomes the defender and the Devil the accuser.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet prior to falling away from God\u2019s will, the Devil convinces you that you\u2019re making the right choice, you deserve whatever it is you are about to do, and he offers rationalizations for your action.<\/p>\n<p>Then you sin, feel guilty and start looking for answers. The Devil has a new lie for your.<\/p>\n<p>After that, he bombards you with thoughts about how you have been on a dark and difficult path and cannot return. Salvation is out of reach \u2014 so you might as well keep sinning or take drastic action to avoid the misery you find yourself in, his twisted argument goes.<\/p>\n<p>That is not true, but millions \u2014 if not billions of people \u2014 every single day think God will never love them again or that they cannot escape who they have become.<\/p>\n<p>Judas \u2014 Jesus\u2019 betrayer \u2014\u00a0certainly believed that message. He committed suicide as a result of his involvement in Jesus&#8217; trial.<\/p>\n<p>And what can we see right now? While suicide rates are on the rise, so is hopelessness. Many people believe their mistakes are everlasting \u2014 and the only way to escape their sadness is to end it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This column is a testament to the lies spread by the Left. Progressives want you to believe your past mistakes are what make you truly worth it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In an age where anything you said years ago can be pulled up and used against you, it is daunting to believe that you\u2019ve put your past behind you \u2014 even if you have matured and had a change of heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Knowing full well they must censor any opposing views to win, the Left will find whatever they can and make use of it as ammunition. We all know the script: Somebody finds success in life, but when they were a teenager they said or posted something inappropriate, even slightly racist \u2014 and suddenly the woke mob is out for blood.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter what somebody says or does today \u2014 there is no room for personal growth for the Left. Like the Devil, the Left wants you to believe that the only way to show your virtue is either to stay out of politics or to join them in lockstep agreement.<\/p>\n<p>The idea spreads to all levels of politics. Personally, I have been called a grifter by people who have told me that I am a grifter. This is because I used have liberal views but have since changed my mind on certain topics.<\/p>\n<p>To that I ask: I\u2019m not allowed to learn the error of my ways and make a concrete change in my life? What if my past ten years will dictate who I&#8217;ll be in the future? <\/p>\n<p>Nonsense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re reading this, you must know that you <em>can<\/em> Get up and make amends to improve your life. <\/p>\n<p>You can have sinned for ten years straight, and you could post horrible things on the internet. But, you&#8217;re allowed to make amends. There is no permanent solution. You can&#8217;t be stuck with wickedness. You can choose to be spiritually or personally better. You have the right to work harder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Left and the Devil each want you to believe the same three lies: Your past defines you, your mistakes are permanent, and you are incapable of doing good ever again.
