EP 102 | The Need for the Church to Battle Public Evil w/ Eric Metaxas | Redeeming Truth
Eric Metaxas and Pastor Jon Benzinger discuss Eric's book, Letter to the American Church. This interview includes conversations about the idols of evangelism and niceness, the infiltration of the church, fear-mongering, and love for the country.
In an earnest and searing wake-up call, the author of the bestseller Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy warns of the haunting similarities between today’s American church and the German church of the 1930s. Echoing Bonhoeffer’s prophetic call, Eric Metaxas exhorts his fellow Christians to repent of their silence in the face of evil before it is too late.

Thank you Jon and Eric for speaking on this topic. I stopped attending a church in 2020 after hearing your daily word talks on the bible, from the bible. Idols of evangelism and niceness...that's a term that applied in my decision, although I didn't quite put it that way in my email to the church. It was a good church for me to begin my relationship with Jesus; but the more time I spent in God's word, the more watered down the sermons became. Not so at Redeemer Bible Church!

You're a Godsend Eric Metaxas. Thank you and God bless!

[@danakaupie8778]

So blessed to attend Redeemer. Taking a stand in truth and love. Thank you Pastor Jon for continuing to have this dialogue!

[@christianfulling9296]

Well, German churches are doing it again. God bless you. Greetings from Germany

Pretty sure this isn’t just an issue that needs to be addressed in America, it’s necessary for the church worldwide.

[@RobertLee-tv4hc]

Thank you pastor Jon for bringing these issues to light. We need to protect our churches.

AMEN

This is terrific, Jon! You have changed my mind with this interview. ……Europe’s churches were resorting back to the 1930s when I lived there in the 60’s, 70,s.

Jon and Eric hit it on the head, call the government to their obligation to be ministers of the offices they hold unto God to serve the people. How that gets done after at least 80 yrs of silence, is no small task, much like Josiah finding the Holy texts and calling for a national repentance.

I need to hear this. thank you in Jesus name I feel I am a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists even with other Christians and family members

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

Jon asks a good question and Eric answers well, how did we get here? Well it wasn't just a 5 or 10 minute Uber ride - the roots of this ultimately go back to the Garden and also Sodom and Gomorrah and Noah's day, (people who want to live lawless - where no one seeks God).
