Americanism

We have allowed idolatry to infiltrate our churches for far too long. Our church leaders have failed to shepherd, and have left many Americans unable to tell the difference between the United States of America, Jesus Christ, and the Kingdom of God. The marrying of problematic Bible illiteracy with Christian coated partisan rhetoric has led us to a place far from the teachings of Christ. It is a place where Christians are none the wiser when Scripture is quoted and perverted. Instead of Jesus Christ being the light and hope of all mankind, the United States and its ideals are given that status. It is nothing less than idolatry. It is nothing less than the deception of the enemy that has led far too many to conclude that they are standing in His righteousness when in fact they are at risk of hearing the words “I never knew you, depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.” That is what is at stake here. We have much to undo and much to learn.
