The Antifa is really nothing more than politics — government — unmasked. It’s a group of people driven to enforce their will on the rest of society, using coercion, force and violence if necessary.
Either the statues stay or they go. You can’t do both. There can be no compromise. There is only one side imposing its will on the other.
“I know, I’m a monster. But hooray for the enforcers, I say.”
Should Christians align and entangle themselves with the state in hopes of harnessing its power and authority to impose the Kingdom of God on earth?

No government program could do what the Trinity Hill UMC church family did for me after my surgery. No politician cares enough about me to show up at my bedside at 5:30 a.m., or to sit with my wife, or to come to my house and sing Christmas carols to cheer me up. So why do we count on these people?
The brutal reign of Fidel Castro strips the mask right off the face of government.
When we seek to advance the kingdom of God through political means, we braid the rope that will hang us.
