One does not need to be a Bible-believing Christian to appreciate that a church that's going "woke" is not good for America. Pastor Cary Gordon's documentary explains why.
I am a MAGA Orthodox Jew. I never felt excluded by your profession of faith. It has been clear to me for several years that there is a cultural war against God. If the believers in God do not hang together, we will surely hang separately!
There are plenty --PLENTY-- of journalists who are getting the news out without mention of their faith, if that should be a high enough priority to readers to throw the whole message out because they don’t like that part of the journalist’s work. So why should you dedicate any energy trying to figure out how to appeal to a greater audience when you already have your own style, naturally, and there’s also something for everybody out there already? And especially when, like Jeremiah, there is this fire in your bones from God, because that is how He designed you, if you don’t speak? Then, on top of all that, your faith in God (righteousness and TRUTH are the foundations of His throne) is what drives you in the first place, to tell that truth?
NEVER refrain from stating and professing your faith. If others have issues...they are THEIR issues, not yours.
Worshipping and praising your maker, should never be dependent, on whether someone will get their feelings hurt or not.
I'm sure there were plenty in Sodom and Gamora, who were triggered and whined, when God was mentioned and their deviance and wickedness was pointed out.
If people want mutual respect where their beliefs, faith and freedom to worship as they like is concerned, then it has to be a two way street. If they decide it's a one way street...their way, then they can go get stuffed.
This is something of a theme today as I read Dr. Malones substack earlier, but I really think you hit the nail on the coffin about the direction of religion in America and perhaps other countries. People lead questionable lives and hide behind the church as God fearing citizens. This is my point about how many churches in America have driven so many to rush and get the vaccine, be good and wear that mask, use zoom for religious meetings to separate all in the name of the Lord, while at the same time promoting the globalist agenda.
Thank you for standing strong, never set aside your relationship with Christ to appease the masses. It is the most important/critical relationship you’ll ever have in your life. Period. No apology ever needed.
Thank you for this message and for sharing the word of God, the one truth. We all need to hear His words, love and forgiveness. Our sins may be forgiven, not by asking for our sins to be accepted, but by our repentance.
I was a Jehovahs Witness for 20 years. We studied the whole Bible. I read the Bible 5 times from cover to cover during that time. I learned so much about Bible teachings and history I never learned as 40 years a Catholic. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The fellowshipping was wonderful. It was difficult for me because I had many old habits and baggage that I brought with me. In the end I left the congregation. but I’ll never leave God and his faithful son Jesus. You are right JD. There is no place for woke In the Christian faith. Jehovah created us and he has every right to set the standards. His words gives us the best guidance a loving father could give. His guidance keeps us safe. When I was young I never understood this! When o finally came to know my God , my Father. I realized what a loving gift His living word is for us! He knows is better than we know ourselves and he wants to protect us. Satan wants us to die. He is the one who makes all things bad look good. It pains me to see what is happening in the world. Just as the Bible said the time would come when people will say what is bad is good. What is good is bad. Today is that day. We are certainly living in the last days. No church should be deviating from the Bible. The word of God. JD. Thank you for sharing your faith.
It's a shame some feel excluded, but even more of a shame that any would expect you to exclude your own affirmation of faith to make them feel included.
I sent this documentary to the leaders of my church months ago. They never acknowledged it. It has been a learning experience in the past couple of years to see how pockets of certain denominations live, seemingly isolated from one another. They are limited in their knowledge of other Christian groups/leaders/teachings. Not all, but many. This documentary educated me on the likes of Tim Keller, and exposed, to ME, that my pastor had a different agenda than just salvation. (He had Tweeted out a a "theological" article claiming that if Americans were better educated on the Bible, they'd never vote for people like Trump!) I left that church, but I'm still in the same denomination - one that I've come to love. Still, some of the leaders think Rod Dreher is some great sage, which is kind of disturbing given his many rants against Trump and his supporters.

Thank you for showing us how it’s done.
Well stated JD.

Satan wants you to be silent regarding God and your relationship with God. Keep being vocal, JD. You're doing God's work.

Need to be about the Bible not about. The Word of God! The denominations were made by man.
