Winston Churchill once said:
“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never in nothing, great or small, large or petty never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
That is not merely a wartime speech. It is a spiritual charge for this hour.
Let us be clear: the Democrat is not your enemy. Satan is. And Satan is wicked beyond measure. The world itself lies under the sway of the wicked one (1 John 5:19). What we are witnessing is not first a political crisis it is a heart crisis. The absence of the fear of the Lord. The rejection of God’s design. The deliberate calling of darkness light and light darkness.
This is not new. Look at Job. God never cursed Job. He never laid a hand on him in judgment. He allowed the enemy limited access so that Job’s faith might be proven genuine even when every natural reason to trust God had been stripped away. Job did not curse God. He worshiped.
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” (Job 1:21)
That is the posture we are called to right now.
God is sifting. He is separating the wheat from the weeds. He is revealing who will remain faithful when the outcome is not what we wanted, when the path is unclear, and when the enemy whispers that resistance is pointless. The ones who stay will not be those who trusted in princes or parties, but those who trusted in the living God.
Anger, hatred, bitterness, and the desire for revenge are choices. Every one of them leads to misery. You may win a temporary point against a person or a policy, but you will lose your peace, your witness, and eventually your joy. The enemy is perfectly content for Christians to win arguments while losing their souls to resentment.
You may feel hopeless, angry, disappointed, or even briefly crushed. Feel it for a moment if you must. Then remember who sits on the throne.
It is easier to choose joy than to nurse hatred. Hatred hands the enemy a victory. Love and steadfastness hand the victory to God.
In this moment of uncertainty, do not hate. Do not fear. Do not give in. Come together and worship. The Lord still gives and the Lord still takes away and still He is worthy of praise. This may not be the outcome you desired, but God is not surprised, and He is not finished. He still uses willing vessels for His purposes in a world drowning in chaos and hatred.
Be the light. Be the one who listens. Be the one who speaks truth without venom. And above all, love your enemies because that is the command of the One who loved us while we were still His enemies (Matthew 5:44; Romans 5:8).
God never promised a life free of hardship, pain, or suffering. In fact, He told us the opposite: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). The question is never whether hardship will come. The question is what we will do when it does whether we will abandon the values God has given us, or whether we will stand.
I cried for a moment. Just a moment. Then I remembered that God is bigger than any election, any cultural moment, or any human outcome. I have done what He asked of me, and by His grace I will continue. The result is His. The obedience is mine.
So I urge you: pray for our country. Pray for those in leadership not from a heart of hatred, but from a heart of love and intercession, as Scripture commands (1 Timothy 2:1–2). And while you pray, continue to stand. Stand for the truth that God created them male and female. Stand for the truth that America, for all her flaws, has been a singular experiment in ordered liberty under God. Stand for the truth that the enemy will not win in the end.
The enemy wants us to quit. He wants us to grow weary in well-doing. He wants us to trade eternal faithfulness for temporary outrage. Do not give him that satisfaction.
When we finally kneel before the throne, may we be able to say with clear conscience: “Lord, we did Your will. We did not yield. We did not curse You in the dark. We kept the faith.”
Never give in.
Never give up.
The Lord is still on the throne.
And He is still worthy of our trust.
