I find myself more and more isolated today in my optimistic belief that good things are on the horizon. (Article by Coach Dave Daubenmire republished from NewsWithViews.com) Don’t get me wrong, I believe a good butt-whipping is in the future for once-Christian America. You know, that country that still has the motto IN GOD WE TRUST written on the dollar bill. It is not so much that we cannot trust God, but rather, WHICH God do Americans put our trust in? “GOD” is pretty much a generic term. The term “god” can refer to many different things. Webster defined GOD as “A prince; a ruler; a magistrate or judge; an angel. Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.” Some people think it is LeBron James…or Taylor Swift. Just what “prince, ruler, magistrate, judge, or angel” are they referring to when they declare IN GOD WE TRUST. It matters, you know. There is only ONE who ever claimed to be KING OF KINGS. Is that the GOD that all Americans are trusting in? JESUS? Or is HE just one of many gods…ooops…perhaps it is She…not He…in whom they trust. Is that the reason why America seems to be in the midst of such a horrible identity crisis. We no longer believe, nor trust, in the same God. Let’s face it. America is a post-Christian nation. Every semblance of the honoring of Christ has been stripped from the public forum. Christ is now KING over the INDIVIDUAL but He is no longer KING over all. That is the message being preached in YOUR church…if you still go to one…but He clearly is not KING over the Government…or your schools…or any “secular” institution. Just ask your pastor. He/she/It/They is probably more afraid of the IRS or the local newspaper than they are of Satan and his wicked works. They certainly have lost the FEAR of God…which is the beginning of all wisdom. Did YOUR pastor shut down your church in cowardly obedience to some made up flu bug? Most of what passes as Christianity today is nothing more than self-help therapy masquerading as Bible preaching. Maga Churches are the worst. The larger the crowd, the softer the message. Soft preaching draws a crowd while hard preaching thins out the crowd. (I sometimes feel like the Jack Kervokian of church growth…) I host a daily podcast at www.CoachDaveLive.com where I do my best to expose the soft messages emanating out of the soft mouth of soft preachers. America is in a mess not because the world got darker but because the light got dimmer. The greatest spiritual battle since the beginning of time is raging around us and most of Christianity is hiding the light under the bushel. Something our Savior spoke directly against. The church has become the bushel. The impact of the local church on the local community is almost non-existent. Ask yourself this question…if the church you attend went out of business would anyone in town notice? Does YOUR light ever reach outside the 4 walls? As one of my friends once told me…the church has become some worldly and the world so churchy, it is hard to tell them apart. Please stay with me. On yesterday’s daily podcast I asked a heart piercing question. You should make time to listen to it here. It is free. Here is the question. Read more at: NewsWithViews.com
