The Silence of the Church in Germany

In this section, the speaker talks about how the church in Germany remained silent while evil was rising. He draws parallels between what happened then and what is happening now.

Excuses for Silence

• The church did not want to be divisive or lose big tithers.

• They thought that if they kept their heads down, nobody would bother them.

• Many Christian leaders today avoid controversial issues to avoid being canceled.

Consequences of Silence

• The silence of the church opened the door to Hell on Earth.

• Human beings suffer when we are silent on critical issues affecting them.

• Satan was able to take over because the church remained asleep.

Crushing the Church

In this section, the speaker talks about how Hitler's goal was to crush the church in Germany and how he used tactics to keep them appeased and asleep.

• If they wake up, it will be game over for Hitler's plan.

Goal of Nazis

• The goal of Nazis was to crush the church in Germany.

The Danger of the Middle Path

In this section, the speaker talks about the danger of taking a middle path and not standing up for what is right.

German Lutheran Pastors in the 1930s

• There were 18,000 Lutheran German pastors in the 1930s.

• Of those pastors, 3,000 stood heroically against the Nazis taking over the church.

• On the other end of the spectrum, there were 3,000 pro-Nazi churches.

• However, 12,000 pastors chose to take a pass and stay in the middle.

American Church Today

• The American church today is similar to Germany's situation with many churches avoiding controversial topics.

• This has opened doors for unbiblical ideas to enter churches.

• The speaker appeals to those in the middle to consider standing up for what is right.

The Church's Role in Holding States Accountable

In this section, Bonhoeffer's quote on how "the church was the conscience of the state" is discussed.

The Church's Role

• If you believe in the God of Scripture, you are supposed to bring Him and His values into every sphere of life.

• The church is supposed to go outside the building and preach the good news, justice of God, and truth about sexuality.

• However, many people have a crazy idea that they should just stay in their little religious corner.

Give to Caesar What is Caesar's and Give to God What is God's

In this section, Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees on giving to Caesar what is his and giving to God what is His is discussed.

• The book "Not In It To Win It" by Andy Stanley twists scripture and misunderstands history.

Misunderstanding of History

In this section, the speaker talks about how people misunderstand history and use it as an excuse for their actions.

Governing Ourselves in a Godly Way

• Andy Stanley's book "Not In It To Win It" gives millions of American Christians an excuse to do nothing while evil takes over.

• Jim Daly from Focus on the Family endorsed the book, which is concerning because good guys are getting this 100% wrong.

• We are on the verge of being too late in America, and the Lord is calling us to action.

• If you're going to a church that doesn't understand this, get out or give them the book.

Activating Our Faith

Bringing Faith into Politics

• If you believe what the scripture says, it's supposed to activate you to bring God's values and purposes into everything.

• When people say they're not supposed to be political, that is not biblical.

• Many churches today are feminized and soft, but God is a wild God who calls us to stand up for truth.

Parallels with Germany

• The parallels between what happened in Germany and what is happening now are chilling.

• The same demonic entities that were behind raising up Hitler are at work now, just disguised differently.

• 3,000 pastors sided with Hitler's agenda during his reign. Today, many churches are coming into agreement with those who support evil agendas.

Wake Up Call

• The Lord may be allowing these events to wake up a holy remnant.

The Obsessiveness to Destroy Trump

In this section, the speaker talks about how people are obsessively trying to destroy Donald Trump and why they are doing so.

People's Desperation

• The Advent of Donald Trump made people come out of the closet and say what they think.

• People will do anything in their act of desperation to take him down, including impeaching him and raiding his home with the FBI.

• This level of desperation is because they know that he represents America and liberty, which interferes with their plans.

Mission Drift on the Church
