Let those be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress;
Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.
Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication;
And let them say continually, “The Lord be magnified,
Who delights in the prosperity of His servant.”

It keeps coming into mind ... God, Family, Patria as a dwelling place, and in that order. And further looking at the horrendous totality of Woke Marxism, it can only be an overturning of the entirety of the Two Tablets:
"For whosoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet faileth in one point, he is guilty of all." GNV James 2:10
That is why the rule by Demonic Woke-ism is total revulsion and the reason why 'their' criminality is prosecutable across the board.
Dave: It all comes back to what we as saved individuals - baptized by faith and water into the Kingdom of Almighty God through the sacrifice of Yahweh's only son, Yeshua, do with our faith in Yeshua--do we PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES which is what Yeshua said we should do? Perhaps that is why the evil is proliferating--WE, KINGDOM PEOPLE ARE NOT PRAYING FOR OUR ENEMIES to be enlightened and TURN FROM THEIR EVIL WAYS.
Yes! But they cannot be Willy-Nilly Prayers. Thus, we pray that they who transgress first see their sinful ways and repent of it that they may be saved. We pray they come to fear the wrath of God so that they may cease in their transgressing and know that transgression is offensive to God. We further pray that fear of God be in them is as the beginning of wisdom in them so that they may act wisely instead of as the scourge to Mankind. We pray for them that in them the will of God be done, as we so do pray in the daily in the Lord Prayer. We pray for ourselves and those who comprise our community all in the same way.
Would it be otherwise, then Christianity is no longer Christianity, but is instead usurped and twisted ... and given over to the Enemy for his purposes. And in the fallen Church of the West, such has been done under a false pretense of tortured love. We must be vigilant and take care to offer up only proper prayer pleasing to the Lord.
Many 'Christian' denominations have ushered into their midst all manner of vile Marxist thinking under the cover of a vociferously trumpeted assumption of unqualified 'love' and an equally unqualified 'love the neighbor' which permits any number of evil behaviors to be introduced into the body of believers. The crux is that a 'love trumps all' theological heresy has been allowed to be infiltrated into the church and this guts the moral force of Scripture, Old and New Testaments alike.
My first introduction to the subversion of orthodox Christian doctrine came from reading Christianity and Liberalism (1923) by J. Gresham Machen. It quite blew my mind as the date of publication puts the opus well before mid-twentieth century and as a personal note, just three years after my father's birth in 1920. This is how early the canker has been eating away Christian substance (and even before).

And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness
And Your praise all day long.

Just for the record, the Lord led me to this passage before I read the newsletter, and “vindication” rears its lovely head in both. God is awesome!

Something to ponder...isn't it!!

Dave, what exactly do you mean by “false pretense of tortured love”?

I would submit it has been happening since the fall.
And we who know Him in our hearts and minds are indeed empowered to share His light and word whenever we can!
AMEN AND AMEN! May Yeshua be exalted and praised!
Amen.
