Start Celebrating June as Christian Heritage Month
In the ever-polarizing world of politics and culture, it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of negativity and animosity. We often find ourselves lamenting the many injustices and the seemingly endless list of reasons to be mad online. One such issue that has caused much consternation among Christians is the prevalence of so-called “Pride Month” that undermines our traditions and beliefs.
I see a lot of outrage posting about this on June 1st every year. Instead of spending our time and energy bemoaning the actions of our enemies–and thus magnifying them more– I propose we take a different approach. It’s time for us to celebrate our own holidays, to embrace the rich tapestry of Christendom, and to forge a path forward that is grounded in Biblical principles and the love of Christ.
Christian Nationalism is a movement that seeks to unite Christians in the pursuit of a society that is rooted in a Biblical worldview. It’s about taking dominion over our lives, our families, and our communities, and it’s about discipling nations in the ways of Christ. As a Christian Nationalist, I believe that it is our duty to reclaim the narrative and to redefine what it means to be a true servant of God in these turbulent times. Instead of focusing on how terrible the enemy’s narrative and culture is, we should be focused on setting our own narrative and culture. We can’t simply point out how bad something is without pointing people to the only alternative that will work: Jesus Christ.
Going forward June will become a month that will hold great significance for Christians around the world as we celebrate Christian Heritage Month. This is a time when we come together to honor the countless victories and accomplishments of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and the faithful people who have followed in His footsteps throughout history. As we reflect on the rich history of Christianity, we are reminded of the immense impact that the True Religion has had on every aspect of human society.
It is essential to recognize the countless ways in which the teachings of Christ have shaped the fabric of our society and to highlight the many heroes of the faith from centuries past. From the development of modern science and technology to the establishment of hospitals and universities, the impact of Christianity can be seen in every corner of the world. We must remember, honor, and celebrate these things.
- Technology and Science: The foundations of modern science were laid by Christian scholars and thinkers, who believed that the pursuit of knowledge was a sacred calling. Men like Sir Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, and Gregor Mendel all made groundbreaking discoveries that have shaped the course of human history, all while remaining faithful to the teachings of Christ.
- Healthcare: Christianity has long been at the forefront of efforts to provide compassionate care for the sick and the suffering. From the early days of the church, when Christians opened their homes to care for the ill, to the establishment of modern hospitals and healthcare systems, the influence of Christianity on the field of medicine cannot be overstated.
- Education: The development of education as we know it today is deeply rooted in the teachings of Christ. From the establishment of the first universities in medieval Europe to the proliferation of Christian schools and colleges around the world, the Christian commitment to education has been a driving force in the advancement of human knowledge.
- Art and Culture: The beauty and richness of Christian art and culture are a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel. From the breathtaking cathedrals that adorn the skylines of cities across the globe to the timeless works of literature and music that have inspired generations, the artistic legacy of Christianity is a testament to the enduring power of faith.
The Day of Life
As we approach the end of Christian Heritage Month, it is essential to recognize the significance of one particular event that has the potential to reshape the course of history: the overturning of Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022. This monumental decision marked a turning point in the battle for life and served as a powerful testament to the enduring influence of Christian values in the public square. As we celebrate Christian Heritage Month, it is only fitting that we culminate this time of reflection with a celebration of
The Day of Life, commemorating the historic victory for the pro-life movement and the countless unborn lives that will be saved as a result.
The Day of Life is a celebration of the triumph of life over the forces of darkness that sought to extinguish the most vulnerable among us. It is a day to honor the countless men and women who have fought tirelessly for the cause of life, often in the face of overwhelming opposition and hostility. It is also a day to remember the millions of unborn children whose lives were tragically cut short as a result of the Roe v. Wade decision, and to recommit ourselves to the ongoing battle for the sanctity of life.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade was a watershed moment in the pro-life movement, representing a culmination of decades of prayer, hard work, and dedication. With this decision, the United States Supreme Court returned the authority to regulate abortion to the individual states, effectively dismantling the federal stranglehold on the issue and paving the way for a renewed emphasis on the value of human life. The war is not over, but this victory should be celebrated year after year to inspire us to press onward for more victories that are inevitably on the way.
As we celebrate Christian Heritage Month, let us take this opportunity to honor the countless accomplishments of Christendom and the faithful men and women who have worked tirelessly to advance the cause of the Gospel throughout history. By reflecting on the rich legacy of Christianity, we can be inspired to continue building on the foundation laid by our forebears, working together to create a world that is more just, compassionate, and faithful to the teachings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
