A tragedy of our modern time is the teaching of Abandonment Theology; in his book, author John W. Chalfant helps us understand why so many Christians are oblivious to the need for confronting the moral decay facing our nation. He writes: “The Abandonment Clergy and their followers have been teaching, preaching and saturating the media and their church members with the doctrine of surrender and political non-involvement.”

Only a couple of years ago, a close Christian friend shared with me that he was abandoning his involvement with the CHP and anything to do with politics. He felt the end times were near and the corruption that was overtaking our land was biblically predicted so it was pointless to fight against it. He recently became a pastor.

The greater peril, I believe, is that pastors in many churches are unknowingly preaching this abandonment theology, “between the lines,” to unsuspecting congregants. It’s one thing to consciously “drink the Kool Aid” deliberately numbing your brain to the devastation at hand, but offering it and drinking it in pathetic ignorance is the actual situation that is paralyzing our nation.

With our Canadian “Hate Crimes” provision, the Human Rights thought police, and the deceitful yet brilliant packaging of “choice” and “gay rights,” church leaders are, for many reasons, seeking desperately to avoid confrontation with the anti-biblical trends and pressures of the world. After all, we wouldn’t want our congregation to lose their precious charitable tax status, would we? I often refer to these receipts (perhaps some may think unfairly) as “blood money.” The charitable tax status of many churches is tainted with the blood of over 100,000 preborn babies killed every year in Canada because their pastors refuse to speak out from their pulpit to defend them. Has it really become too political to speak against injustice?

The silence from the pulpits is deafening—and not only on the prolife issues. Week after week, our churches remain silent on far too many issues, and congregants are lulled into complacency. Society has accepted an anti-Christian bias and churches have given in to the pressure. In effect, without their knowledge or consent, church members are being asked to “drink the Kool Aid.” When members of Jim Jones’ cult “drank the Kool Aid” in November of 1978, it was laced with potassium cyanide and 918 people died in a mass suicide. The “Kool Aid” being served in many churches today is laced with “moral Valium” which deadens the moral senses and causes the pew-sitters to “lose their saltiness.”

In his book “The Marketing of Evil” David Kupelian brilliantly exposes how radical elitists and pseudo-experts sold America (and Canada) corruption disguised as freedom. In his last chapter he writes about our last and best hope:

This is very troubling to church leaders who are increasingly aware they are losing a spiritual tug-of-war with the powerful and corrupt secular culture. Many in their congregations are being converted before their eyes…. [Falling prey to the marketing of evil.]

Indeed, it’s a dangerous situation for American. The churches are, and always have been, the seat of this nation’s moral strength. Revolutionary War citizen-soldiers were commonly recruited from the pulpit, slavery was excoriated from the pulpit, our war dead have been memorialized from the pulpit, and our citizens have ever been exhorted and challenged and comforted from the pulpit. It is from the pulpit that every social evil to plague this nation has been confronted and rebuked while a higher, better road to glory has been promoted.

Last week, I asked a dear Christian friend what he thought about Ontario Liberals electing their first woman and openly lesbian Premier. He said, “I think people are making too much out of the fact that she is gay; it’s really about whether or not she can do the job.” To which I responded: “But doesn’t it tell you anything about the state of our nation?”

We don’t serve “Kool Aid” in the Christian Heritage Party in any way shape or form, and we will continue to expose the truth—as uncomfortable as that may become to many Christians across our land. Our church leaders have a responsibility to openly address and expose everything that is drowning Canada’s Judeo-Christian heritage. They are, after all, our “last and best hope."

CHP Canada prepares for the day when we will be called to govern and that is the day when we will have churches serving our citizens with the “whole truth.” Then the citizens of Canada will have a renewed “hunger and a thirst for righteousness.” Then they will desire and demand a nation, best described by America’s beloved President Abraham Lincoln, a nation which “under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
