In pre-Nazi Germany, many Christians were under the false assumption that they had to go along with whatever their civil rulers demanded. For decades before the rise of Adolph Hitler, German Christians were subjected to arguments like the following from pastors and theologians: The Gospel has absolutely nothing to do with outward existence but only with eternal life, not with external orders and institutions which could come in conflict with the secular orders but only with the heart and its relationship with God.

Philip Schaff, a noted church historian, writes: “The Reformation of the sixteenth century is, next to the introduction of Christianity, the greatest event in history. The Reformation was, at its heart, a recovery of the true gospel of Jesus Christ, and this restoration had an unparalleled influence on churches, nations, and the flow of Western civilization."

“In 2020, the gap between Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden was just seven million votes. The real story lies in the margins of victory in swing states, where an average of 60,000 votes per state determined nearly 40% of the electoral votes needed to win,” Barna emphasized. “In this context, the 32 million regular churchgoers who won’t vote in 2024 is a gamechanger.”

The politics of envy and guilt is nothing other than class hatred and war. It is a blight on the soul, a rottenness eating at the foundations of culture. No society can long survive it: the nation that fails to overcome it through faith and obedience will fall. It is the sociology of Satan. It is but a step away from hell.

The majority of millennials would prefer to live in a socialist, communist or fascist nation rather than a capitalistic one, according to a new poll…. The most popular socioeconomic order was socialism, with 44 percent support. Communism and fascism received 7 percent support each.” Millennials need to wake up to the reality of TANSTAAFL! In case you are too young to understand what this means, the acronym stands for, "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch." It was a popular adage amongst us Baby-boomers communicating the idea that it is impossible to get something for nothing. Wake up to TANSTAAFL before you help turn America into a George Orwell, type "Animal Farm" where all the animals are equal, except some animals and they are more equal than others!

Because of the bad trade that millions of Americans have made – trading the Truth of God for the Lie of the enemy and believing that we can be our own “truth-makers” rather than “truth-receivers”; our own life-determiners, destiny-makers, and new-world, new-age builders without any help from the one, true and living God, we are creating a hell on earth.

There are plenty of people today who don’t believe in the Bible’s teaching on everlasting punishment, even those who do believe it can find it an unreal and remote concept. Nevertheless, it is a very important part of the Christian faith for several reasons. Keller gives four reasons why hell is important.

This is a refutation of the dispensational claims that one day very soon there will be one gigantic redemptive-historical U-turn. God’s greater purposes will return to the same Old Testament types and shadows which existed before the coming of Christ, which pointed to him, and which in his death and resurrection he has already fulfilled! The one man is divided, the barrier is re-erected, those brought near are far off again, peace is replaced by division, and the abolition of the commandments comes to an end.

Inaccurate eschatology has, for the most part, left the church in America waiting to get off the earth as quickly as possible instead of getting on with the “Master’s Mandate” of making disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20).

To celebrate this victory of Republican abolition policies over the Democrat pro-slavery policies is "Juneteenth," the day Union Major General Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3 from his headquarters in Galveston, Texas, June 19, 1865.
