Society is on a steep decline. Religion is on a decline. The fight for Christian values is needed now more than it has been since the Reconquista of the Iberian Peninsula. However, if anything, the revival of Christianity is even more important now than it was over a thousand years ago.
The Iberian Peninsula was taken over almost completely by anti-Christian forces by the early 700s. Starting with only a few hundred Christians, the tide eventually turned, and the anti-Christian forces were defeated by Christian fighters. This monumental struggle, spanning nearly 800 years, serves as a powerful testament to what a faithful remnant can accomplish when they place their trust in God and refuse to compromise their beliefs, even when facing seemingly insurmountable odds.
The Iberian Peninsula is no longer the only area of the world under attack by anti-Christian forces. In fact, the entire world is now facing growing opposition from atheists and political movements that, in our view, seek to push Christian values out of public life. But hope is not yet lost. Gen Z can become the generation that reverses these trends and stands for Christian morals and values once again. This generation has the potential to be like the faithful few who began the Reconquista, standing firm against overwhelming cultural pressure and becoming the catalyst for a great spiritual awakening.
That means rejecting cultural norms that conflict with biblical teachings, such as engaging in sexual relationships with multiple people with no real intention of marriage and lifelong commitment. It also means rejecting the normalization of abortion, euthanasia, and the redefinition of marriage and family that has become so prevalent in contemporary society. It means standing firm in our convictions even when doing so is unpopular. While Paul certainly expressed many pacifist tendencies, he also wrote in 1 Thessalonians 2:15 that those "Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men," reminding us that Scripture does not portray evil as something to be ignored or excused.
Likewise, Jesus Himself was not passive in the face of corruption. As recorded in John 2:15–16, "when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple... and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables," saying, "Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise." This righteous anger demonstrates that there are times when believers must take bold action against those who would profane sacred things. Later, in Luke 22:36, He instructed His disciples, "he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." Even if that command was not necessarily intended in a purely physical sense, it demonstrates that God's love is not always portrayed as passive. Likewise, biblical accounts such as the Flood, the War in Heaven, and the Tower of Babel demonstrate that God's love does not always manifest itself as perfect peace or the absence of conflict.
Jesus also warned that faithfully following Him would inevitably bring division. In Matthew 10:34–36, He declared, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." He continued, "For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." Division is sometimes an inevitable consequence of professing Christian beliefs. Not everyone will agree with us, and we do not have to compromise our convictions simply to gain approval. The cost of discipleship has always been high, and throughout history, true believers have often found themselves at odds with the prevailing culture.
Our organization strongly rejects violence and discrimination, but we also refuse to stand by while others seek to overshadow or undermine our beliefs simply because progressive Christians who support abortion or reject the Holy Trinity disagree with us. We believe Christians are called to stand firmly for biblical truth with conviction, courage, and love, without surrendering their principles to the changing values of society. Like the Christian warriors of the Reconquista, we must be prepared to fight spiritual battles with prayer, truth, and unwavering faith, trusting that God will honor those who honor Him.
Our organization focuses on the points that matter the most. Morality starts at home. Morality starts with your children's upbringings. The time to fight for morality is now.
