EP 129 | Why Silence Betrays Christianity with Erwin Lutzer | Redeeming Truth

[@chuckholmes2938]

Truly an edifying interview. Thank you.

[@AZPoppy1]

Such profound truth presented with sufficient clarity for us to understand the cultural attack. Thank you Jon for continuing to inform our flock. Erwin Lutzger is a strong ambassador for the truth.

[@JeanetteOConnor-t2h]

Thank you for this incredible interview.

He is a great and humorous speaker; one that he recently brought up is his parents who lived into their 100s, and he was speaking of their friends in heaven, looking around for them, where are the Lutzer's are they late again? It's just they took a long time getting there, sometimes I guess when you are so valuable to God on earth, He keeps you here to help until the very last person is helped. Great man of God.

Hey, it's Erwin Lutzer! 👍 The chaos is most definitely purposefull indeed so that everyone desires utopian lifestyles if that is even a reality. We are all depraved by our own sinful nature. Jesus can set one free from sin and death into life forevermore. All glory to Him not of the philosophy of men.

Yes, 2 excellent books - he can be heard on VCY America (88.3 FM) on Sunday nights @ 8:30 pm, Songs in the Night w the old organ pipe music and church service from Moody of Chicago - which goes back to the DL Moody days.

Pastor Jon, Will you please address why churches won't stand with Israel?? I am sickened by the silence in our churches.

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

Heroes and Suffering (patience is a virtue) - hasn't been taught in the last half-century in the schools, so if the church doesn't model it, if the home doesn't model it, kids who learn by caught more than taught, won't see or comprehend it.

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

and that is the CRUX that Pastor Jon brings up each week, the CROSS because there are many good (kids) who like and are as Pastor Todd puts it a fan of God, but these are yet to know God - in salvation, to know God - as Lord and Master the shock for many will be - there are a lot of "good" but not good enough people in HELL, and a lot of really bad people (forgiven) - in Heaven.

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

How to Respond? When HELL visits or comes to your door take a STAND, FIGHT, PROTECT, and resist it. Thieves don't want to work, they are lazy and only envy those who do.

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

the only "rights" we have as humans without Christ, is HELL and DAMNATION - the Lake of Fire and it is we who put ourself there, we elected to be rebellious, as those before us. Where there is no repentance, there is no forgiveness.

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

the secular world says we are narrow and not inclusive enough - I would beg to differ, GOD is very inclusive - here is what the Bible says, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

Jesus never AFFIRMED sinful behavior or habits, nor should we. Jesus was not milquetoast afraid to speak the Truth, He said what He said, and if it OFFENDED one, that one found out, the truth pierces and hurts, until - correction is met. When we do wrong, we can never expect right to become of it.

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

Jesus did LOVE the SINNER, that is why He came into the World, to free and save such a one. But those who want to continue in their SIN, that Jesus never loved, He and the Father, and we too, should HATE SIN. The culture asks us to do what Jesus did not, show a love and a compassion, that is and was beyond Jesus, the Gospel only forgives, when contrite confession is made. They will label us, haters and racists, but I got news for these ... In Heaven there will not be ONE SIN. God hats contamination, He loves purity. This world can never claim purity in any way, shape or form, in and by itself, even w AI helping them.

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

Muted and Diluted - for a gospel that meets the mass-suited, very sad they are even re-writing bibles to suit them it is total folly, and madness, yet if the lost in ignorance do not know, or have not yet heard, THEY NEED JESUS - the only HOPE - the only SOLUTION.

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

The culture is in constant flux and needs "correction" the Bible is infallible, eternal - and is "perfect" which one should we resist? We are in this world, granted ... but we are citizens of heaven - loyal to a king - Jesus We are not of this world, nor do we need to stay, any longer than the Lord would have us to.

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

Unity in Christ knows no race, creed, or color - in other words, will the real OPPRESSORS (tyrant dictators who will never be satisfied) - please stand up. In other words, those who POINT the FINGER are the very ONES who are GUILTY all by themselves. The only unity they desire is in - derision, chaos and division. If you are a believer - does CRT then sound reasonable? or does it resemble what Jesus came, there is Liar who says he proclaims truth, and his mission you ask? To steal, kill and destroy ... there will be no restitution or restoration for the evil Lucifer, he had more than most, and he wanted more, until he makes a mockery using you, he will not rest.

[@servingjesussinnersavedbyg8456]

very true America is not and never was Israel, God blessed this nation, yes - but even God could not force people to believe in Him love Him follow His ways when we enforce our own rules and take positions like this on the battlefield are we no better than the culture of tyrant copycats in the 1st place? We fight not against one another but the devil would love you to think that, and hate, hate, hate but we fight against darkness and such powers in high places, when we learn to get on our knees and seek God for answers instead of government or ourselves, we will be much better off.
