The Faithful Watchman

Proverbs 14:2 reads, “He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord, But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.”

This powerful proverb reveals a universal truth: those who live in righteousness honor and fear the Lord, while those who are perverts despise Him. Atheists, of course, deny that they despise God, and yet they have a string of contemptuous names for Him, such as “Invisible sky daddy,” “Flying spaghetti monster,” “Imaginary friend,” and “Magic man in the sky.” This proverb also explains why criminals hate the police. Both cases reveal a deep-seated resistance to authority and accountability.

In June 2019, Räsänen, a member of the Finnish parliament since 1995, posted an image of Romans 1:24-27 on X. In her post, she questioned how her church denomination’s official support of a Helsinki Pride event aligned with Scripture.

The University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom is facing backlash after the school warned students that studying events in Scripture, including the crucifixion of Christ, can be “triggering,” and thus, the study of them should be avoided by some.

The Universities placed the “trigger warning” on the four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—claiming, without explanation, that the events leading up to the death of Christ depict “graphic bodily injury and sexual violence.” The same label was also placed on the book of Genesis for its account of Cain and Abel.

Do you agree with the Apostle Paul?

That was the question police asked Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen repeatedly over the course of 13 hours of interrogation over a social media post she made featuring a Bible verse.

Six years ago, Räsänen found herself in a small room being questioned after she shared a Bible verse from the book of Romans detailing the Christian understanding of sexuality. After she shared the verse, she was charged with hate speech and dragged to the police station for numerous rounds of questions about her beliefs.

Recently, during an interview with a Bloomberg podcast, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was asked if he would enforce the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—and his answer was nothing short of a betrayal of Israel.

“Justin Trudeau said that Canada would honor the International Criminal Court arrest warrants, i.e., Benjamin Netanyahu would be arrested if he came to Canada,” the interviewer began. “Does that stand under your leadership?”

Christianity is built upon the bedrock of historical truth. Without absolute truth, the world is left floundering in a sea of subjectivity. What would happen when a Christian who claims Jesus is the only way to heaven is met with the reply, “You have your truth and I have my truth”? With one sentence, the Christian witness is cut off at the knees and the authority of Scripture is minimized.

Another week has gone by, and it appears that my country is back at war. Or maybe it isn’t. It’s so hard to tell these days. In one moment, we have a big celebration over the signing of a ceasefire agreement. We see our living hostages come home in a semi-timely manner, according to the agreed-to terms. The remains of our beloved deceased hostages also start coming in. They’re late and the delivery is sporadic, but at least it’s something.

The people who brought you every financial bubble in living memory are inflating another one — and this time, they’re hoping it ends with the rest of us gone for good.
