by David Fiorazo | Jan 15, 2021 | American Church, Church Leadership, COVID 19, Pastor's Perspective, Religious Freedom | 0 |

As we saw in 2020, forces of darkness have been hard at work. The enemy – both human and demonic – coming against us hard. It is stunning, the speed with which our country, culture, freedoms, and very way of life have been attacked and dismantled!

If there was ever a time in American history that the Christian Church needs to be an essential, gospel-preaching, influential, faith-building, fruit-bearing, saint-equipping church, it’s now.

Dan Fisher: Patriot Pastors, Romans 13 & The ‘Rona’

by Stand Up For The Truth | Dec 1, 2020 | American History, Christianity, Church Leadership, Education, Government, Pastor's Perspective, Podcast, Politics and Faith, Religious Freedom | 0 |

Many of America’s spiritual leaders have been shackling believers with a flawed interpretation of Romans 13:1-5 – especially as to how it applies to citizens living in a republic like ours. Consequently, Christian people who would normally stand against tyranny, believe that they owe slavish, unlimited submission to their government.

So, the American church stands by doing little to stop the wickedness that is allowed to flourish all around them. Is this what God intends?

Calvin Beisner: Climate Predictions, Green Policy; Equality Act

by Stand Up For The Truth | Feb 26, 2021 | Bible Prophecy, Christianity, Climate Change, Environmentalism, Globalism, LGBTQ, Podcast, President Joe Biden, Worldview | 1 |

Young people today are very passionate about the subject of climate change. More often than not, they are being indoctrinated with emotional, fear-driven arguments about mankind destroying the planet because of our “carbon footprint.” We should acknowledge their concern about being good stewards of God’s earth, but how can we help separate fiction from fact?

Dr. Beisner shares his expertise on green energy, climate change, and solar dependency on fossil fuels, as well as what happened in Texas recently with sub-zero temps and power failures. David later outlines to evil of the Democrat’s so-called “Equality Act,” which just passed in the U.S. House.
