- This last week, the voters of Ohio enshrined a right to abortion in their state constitution, in what might be called Ohio’s suicide note. In the heady days after the Jericho of Roe fell, this was the gut punch that we might call the first battle of Ai.
There are many political observations to be made, not to mention certain tactical decisions to be worked out. That aspect of the fight will certainly go on. That’s as it should be, and the political fight needs to continue, with all pro-lifers doing all that they can, in every state. But that is not our subject for today.
There are more fundamental issues that need to be on our minds, and on our minds all the time. The foundational issue is that our entire nation is riddled and shot through with the pox-ridden disease of secularism, and we have gone so far as to trick it out as some kind of a virtue. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court decided that that the splotches on our skin were to be deemed as marks of robust good health, and that heavy fines for denying this would be fully appropriate.

We are not the "good guys" anymore, if we really ever were. We have so much work to do here in our owns lands and hearts before we could ever even think about saving other nations. But that would first require us (the Church) to take a good honest look at what we have allowed to happen to our neighbors under our watch.
Amen. Couldn't have said it better.
Yep. Same in Australia. Moralising conservative Anglicans in Africa while we allow 100,000 abortions a year
Well said
The powers that have seized control of this nation aren’t remotely interested in saving this nation, much less any others. The goal is to completely dismantle every structural support system of modern society and crash the world as we know it, so they can force their demonic world reset.

The moment I heard it I understood its profound truth, and my whole heart sank.
And rightly so. The pulpit has failed to even name sin.
They’re too busy being winsome…..
7:33 "It sounds noble to say you want to stay focused on the Gospel of Christ and him crucified. It is less noble to refuse to mention any of the high-handed sins that made such a crucifixion necessary." EXACTLY! Well said.
That's exactly the quote I was going to type. What a great line.
I’ve never heard Doug Wilson be concerned over the Gospel, or concerned with eternal life. We are to preach the Gospel and make disciples and serve Jesus Christ.
@theresaread72 the biggest part of that 'gosple' mesage is repentance and refutation of sin.
@@nate_d376 The Biggest Part of the Gospel message also includes to believe and have a relationship with Jesus Christ through His Word. Doug Wilson talks about cultural issues, none of the things you or I mention
@ShopRat-cf9tr Everyone has sin in their life. We must turn to Jesus Christ, and no longer be conformed to the Pattern of this World but be transformed by the renewing of our minds with the Word of God Romans 12. The sin in our life diminishes With Sanctification and living to please God. Doug Wilson is teaching against the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
BOOM! You just threw some really good flame there, Pastor Doug! The souls of 60 million babies cry out. God will surely remember them. Genesis 4:10.

Do you understand that when the US was founded assisted suicide, weed, cocaine, opium, and abortion were all legal? Abortion was considered a necessary part of women's reproductive health. And they were right. And it still is today.
Would you consider breaking with tradition and holding a 'No Quarter 2024"? We need more of this. Well done!
"We are not in an age of neo-paganism, we are in an age of neo-barbarianism"
- R.C. Sproul
I contend we are in an age of post-modern, post-Christian age. That is, the age when modernist culture and Christian culture has collapsed.
It is barbarism indeed but without the unlettered louts we consider barbarian. We become something different. Barbarians who believe they are doing right and justify their barbarism with scholarly arguments and then enlist those louts to do the dirty work. The ism that always has been there for over 200 years as a unified political force. We are the Germans of 1933 trying to figure out who our victim/scapegoat will be. We are one step from that dissolution into barbarism.
@@duke927 You said: "Barbarians who believe they are doing right and justify their barbarism with scholarly arguments and then enlist those louts to do the dirty work." that is how I'd describe Doug, without the scholarly arguments. You also said: "We are the Germans of 1933 trying to figure out who our victim/scapegoat will be. We are one step from that dissolution into barbarism." There are none more barbaric than T***p and his Christians supporters. T***p is clear about who his enemies are: Immigrants, children, the poor, the old, wounded veterans, and everyone else that isn't him. He likes the company of celebrities, not you.
Lord, have mercy and grant repentance. Revive Your Church and cause us to return to You and Your Word. For the sake of our Savior.
BTW - there used to be a saying, "When Hell freezes over" - but lately I heard someone say, "When Osteen preaches on abortion."
This was FANTASTIC. I can’t even pick a favorite quote. Bravo, sir. NQN is… just the best. 👏👏👏
Thank you for laying out so well what so many of the elders in America just can't seem to say, or don't want to see.
We know what the punishment for our national sins are: 'The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”' Gen 4:10-12. "Our democracy" - the prince of this land - chose to sacrifice our first-fruits, our first-born, to Moloch and Mammon, 'But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord'.
Exactly.
Democracy is a buzz word they have implanted into your brain. We had a constitutional republic.
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
"It sounds noble to say that you want to stay focused on the gospel of Christ and Him crucified, it is less noble to refuse to mention any of the high-handed sins that made such a crucifixion necessary". Touché...
We've got the same problem in Europe. In my country (France), the National Assembly is about to enshrine the right to abortion in our Constitution because of the overturning of Roe v Wade in the US. And guess what? Not a single Evangelical big name made a statement against that, we rather prefer to demonstrate with hypocritical politicians against antisemitism or islamophobia as if it was related to us Christians. Sad but not surprised.
I wonder if they have been influenced directly or indirectly by the evangelical intelligentsia of the United States, which has been crypto-Democrat for a long time.
Amen Pastor Wilson!!
“No no, anything but the disapproval of the cool kids” 😂
Hear! Hear! We're too "spiritual" to call sin, "sin" because that would be mean. OHIO: "Only. Hell. Is. Obeyed." At least for now.
Yeah. I'm crushed. I'm in Ohio and have been in this fight since 1982 and knocked on more doors in the weeks before election day than for any other reason EVER. My rural town was against it overwhelmingly against it. The big cities wanted it. My church was silent. That was the last straw. We have a new church.
@@CindyOsborne-TDWP so now you need to go back to all those doors with the Gospel, starting with the bad news of God’s righteous wrath against Sin.
@MetroplexAerials I did have lots of those discussions too and brought a young lady to church with us.
@@CindyOsborne-TDWP Excellent. Honestly, I think the entire church would do well to put equal amounts of time into evangelism as they do politics. Both are needed, but one is more long-term essential.
@@CindyOsborne-TDWP Anti-Abortion supporters have been losing elections all over the nation. And I will help them lose.
Doug is throwing some pretty big "flags" in this video, #kudos !
You always so much in so few words- the ring of truth. God bless you.
Well said. They like to quote "Judge not lest ye be judged." However, Paul shows us we are to judge the church, not the Gentiles. Their eyes will be opened by the Lord in time. Our own should have their eyes open already and not recluse them. Bless you!
I don't know what half of those words mean, but yea...what he said!
I hear you -- I've been reading and listening to Doug for years, and he can still be hard to follow sometimes because he's considerably well-read, way more than I, and he speaks kind of fast. Better off slowing down the video to 75%, and even then it'll still be some kind of remark that comes only from knowing particular books he's read. He often quotes, or makes reference to, books by Tolkien and CS Lewis. So reading all of those can actually be a help as much as reading good theology books and histories :)
@@stegokitty Agreed. My vocabulary has expanded since I began reading/listening to Wilson. He communicates in such a way as to motivate me to look up the unfamiliar words so I do not miss anything.
I have appreciated needing to listen on a different level in order to understand DW's messages...my change in hearing has caused my thinking to improve. My improved thinking has led to deeper prayer. Reflective prayer in turn has taken me to recognizing where I have gone luke warm. I thank God for His having introduced me to His messenger, Pastor Doug. I have been blessed by his challenging sermons (and have learned how to use "rewind" and "replay" of this new-fangled RUclips thing). Old dogs CAN be retrained and encouraged to hunt again! And for that I am eternally thankful!!
Two words: 🔥 and 🔥!
I can hear the frustration in your voice and I agree.
Absolutely You have nailed it!
"There is none righteous, no, not one"
Bravo, Doug! Love it. Keep it coming.
‘We publish books at each other’ yep it does feel a lot like that
I enjoy Doug’s posts, but one of my first thoughts just a minute into the video is that whenever he goes on a tear like this, he drops language that’s accessible only to the initiated. You can agree with him that evangelicals are talking to themselves…but not observing it in these videos is ironic. Doug doesn’t EVER speak to non-evangelicals. He uses Biblical phrases the secular world - and most of the Western Christian world - is so unaccustomed to that it requires an immense investment…from people who already think he’s out to lunch. I’m an intellectually curious person and don’t mind the investment…but the people who need the message the most are so put off by the language that they’ll skip the video for so much archaic Christian “gibberish.”
In other words…Doug made a career of ONLY EVER speaking to the choir. You cannot build a bridge for people who don’t know they need a bridge…and you can’t show them they need it if you’re not willing to meet them where they are.
What I’m criticizing here is not Doug’s devotion, faith, or moral character. I’m criticizing his craft. You can’t teach a child calculus before teaching him the layers of math that lead from basic arithmetic. Doug can declare calculus all he wants, but if he’s going to throw his hands in the air with righteous exhaustion when fifth graders “rebel against God” by “not getting it,” the children are lost. If the counter argument is that they shouldn’t have to “get it” and should “just stop sinning”…why offer arguments at all? Unless your purpose is to make yourself FEEL as though you extended your hand…
The church is great at thumping its chest, but they don’t want to get their hands dirty with the saving. This is comparable to Church elders declaring that all boys should have fathers…and then refusing to reach out to fatherless boys because to do so would be to offer a paltry version of fatherhood. In other words, the church thinks that if you can’t offer the purest version, you can’t offer it at all. The modern church has ZERO template for witnessing in the trenches. It’s all podium thumping and abstraction. I’d pay a hundred dollars to any secular person who could even summarize this video. It’s an exercise in literary technique and turn-of-phrase posturing. Doug is doing the very thing he’s criticizing. Or…do you think this message is intended for the unitiated…people who haven’t got a clue what verses he’s quoting, let alone their scriptural or historical context?
Incidentally…I’m an “atheist” with strong “sympathies” for Biblical values. I KNOW the demographic of the “lost sheep.” This video is pure intellectual gibberish in the exact same way an Elder thinking doing whatever he’s already doing is somehow helping a fatherless boy. The boy looks at that man and says, “That guy doesn’t even know I exist.” And…he’s right.
Evangelicals don’t want to witness to the lost flock because doing so requires them to devise a path FROM where that lost flock has wandered, back to where they’d like it to be. But to build that path, they have to literally build a path…and to them, the mere fact that a non-Christian has to grow at all is a stain. They don’t want to be in the trenches. They don’t want to get dirt in their nails. They want to preach from a podium. Incidentally…this is a huge contributing factor to the contempt much of the Moscow community feels for Christ Church. The secularists think they hate the message…and the only reason they think that is because the messengers present with intellectual bombast as though the secular world was a zoo safely sealed behind a glass enclosure.
@@winstonsol8713 When Doug does live events, he does not talk the same way that he talks when he is writing in his Christian Blog with a Christian audience. I would recommend checking out some of the talks he has done in front of non-believing audiences.
Doug likes to read his own writing. He can't seem to get over how clever he thinks he is.
@@winstonsol8713 This is a problem for many folks that like to sound academic. Paul Tillich once referred to German theological attitude this way: "If it is easily understood, it is shallow."

Why is the religion of secularism acceptable yet Christian nationalism is rejected?
Secularism isn’t a religion. Just look at the authoritarian societies in countries under religious rule today to see why Christian nationalism is so widely unpopular.
@@aallen5256Religious rule huh? This is such stupid take. Anyone who compares Islamic theocracies with Christian nations and Christian nationalism has absolutely no clue what he’s talking about. Those are the same delusional people who think medieval Europe was a totalitarian theocracy or that, unlike Christianity, Islam hasn’t been reformed yet and Christianity used to be like that. They are theologically and historically illiterate and often severely brainwashed by secular humanist academia.
@@arminius504 Okay.. which countries should we look at for better examples of religious governments or theocracies??
P.S. what were the pilgrim fathers fleeing? Was it religious persecution by a nation state of Christians per chance?
Pretty simple. We are a secular, humanist, utilitarian society. Not a Christian nationalist society. Of course, another reason is that "Christian Nationalism" is fascist theocracy, that's another reason.
Amen!
' I can even call the sun moon and stars' that was really funny! Hello from Japan!!!
Excellent piece.
Good job Ohio! More states will follow.
Go Dougie go!!!!!!
This comment section has lost its mind, but it's a pretty solid representation of the modern schism in the Church.
I'm going to make this very simple. God is moving. If you haven't chosen to follow Him in all things, particularly with regards to the sanctity of life, you're going to have a bad time in the next few years. But don't worry, because His grace is sufficient for you and He'll be ready when you are - just don't tarry, because He sure won't. The modern Prophets have been speaking about this for years, so none of you should be surprised. Ohio is just the first of many States that are beginning to define the new, clear division in this country's next era. Get ready.
The modern expectations on abortion are blatantly binary: Either you're for the death of infants, or you're not. The hemming and hawing on "allowance" is just an excuse to feel better about yourselves at night. God makes it clear: "Better that they have a millstone tied around their neck and be thrown into the sea than do harm to any of my little ones." Be grateful that God is actually giving you a chance to decide on your right mind and isn't calling you immediately to task for it, because there's coming a time when there _won't_ be a chance anymore and the judgement will be obvious. That time is coming _soon._
This comment section is such a representation of the religious mindset in the great modern schism that it's almost hilarious to me to think that I used to be just like them. May God through his Prophets enlighten all of you as he did me, because boy oh boy is time getting short. 🤣

"Autonomous law" is a phrase I've never heard before--but I'm familiar with the concept, if not the terminology. In addition to all the documents Pastor Wilson calls to witness against it, I'd like to add the verdicts handed down at the Nuremberg Trials. Our nation understood a scant 77 years ago that autonomous law is an impossibility. Woe to us for what we have done to our understanding in the intervening timespan!
The Nuremberg trials were a travesty of justice, a giant pile of lies built on torture and probably false testimony.
I see _that_ I have one reply, but I can't see the reply itself. What's up with that, RUclips?
@bigscarysteve sir, RUclips only hides misinformation qnd disinformation. They do it for your own good. You can rest assured that the comment I left that you can't see was full of debunked conspiracy theories.
"Autonomous law" Is a catch phrase of presuppositional apologists (which Doug is). They usually use it as a phrase to be railed against without giving it much meaning.

Could someone please help clarify something for me. In his video with Andrew Isker, Pastor Doug completely rejected the idea of condemning Jews for the evil things they’ve done and do, because they also do really good things, like become doctors and lawyers. This all being based on Romans 11 and therefore we should not condemn Jews because they’ll be grafted back into the olive tree and we, the gentiles, can be removed for condemning the Jews behavior.
Yet, we all agree that the church is very much to blame for the cultural decay that we are seeing today, despite all the good things that the church has done.
Are there two different standards for the church and the Jews? Christians and Jews? Gentiles and Jews? Why are we afraid to call one group out, but not the other?
PS: I’m not an anti-Semite, so don’t even waste your finger strength calling me one.
Doug has said he has family that are HPPs. He is monetized and promoted on RUclips. Canon shut comments off on that video, which is why you had to ask the question here.
There is one standard, and those who don't have the Son don't have the Father, they are anti-Christ.
If you're anti-anti-Christ, is that something to be ashamed of? Is it a sin? I wear the badge with honor.
As far as I know, it is fine to call out anyone's sin, Jew or Gentile. Just be sure you check your eye sockets for a plank jutting out.
@@SamButler-hm6ul HPPs?
@@conceptualclarity high performance people.
The difference (one of the key differences) is that the Christian church is **called and commanded to** be salt and light, and to command us to repentance. That's part of the *purpose* of the Church. Jews are members of a (non-Christian) religion in its various denominations, or they are members of certain ancestral groups descended from the sons of Jacob, or (in a great many cases) both at once. But they're not (in the way Christians are) a single teleological monolith with a single moral purpose like that.
Oh yes they did.
Am I the only one that thinks the church is not in a building or that giving money to pay for a building is not working? But every pastor says that not going to church is a big problem. Not tithing to pay for the church building is preached as an uncheerful giver. When the church takes the church money and fights for unborn babies, helps the elderly and finds ways to reach the sinner not sitting in the church building, then maybe the church will bear fruit.
The enemies to the "big C" church are well funded and their beliefs are being pushed anywhere they can afford to. We need that same kind of funding and activism to push it back. Imo
My family and others long ago realized our servant was not serving it's intended purpose, and reassumed authority over the tithe funds. Still tithed, but gave personally or anonymously directly to people in need or to causes that honor the Creator. Sad, but diligent. Stained glass windows matter little to struggling families working two jobs without a working vehicle. Some board is not "the Church." We are. Give around the church when you can't give through it.
I don't think most people who are true Christians think a church is a building. A building is just a means, so we don't have to stand out in the cold and rain. The church, however, is a gathering together of believers to worship God, hear scripture, and fellowship with and support other believers--and who incidentally meet in a building. Granted, there are churches that fit your caricature but there are many that don't. when you go to church, you're doing more than just sitting in a building. It's critically important for believers to hear the word preached and have fellowship with other believers so they are equipped to go into the world and preach the gospel. Again, this incidentally happens in a building.

A story from the book of 1 Kings, where a prophet by the name of Elijah when he beheld 400 false prophets of the false object of worship called Baal said to them if you think you're God to be the answer then assemble yourselves and call me fire down from heaven; Elijah said to them likewise shall I do the same as the story goes the 400 false prophets of the false being made themselves a bunch of ruckus calling out to the lie they believed.
Elijah surely used scripture from the word of God the Old Testament or Old Covenant or Agreement and fire did fall from heaven.
The more you get right about God the more he shows up.
God is a spirit those that worship him must do so in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
Don't just have faith, have faith in God, and his word. There is surely a type of extreme unpleasantness already in the Earth, have you seen it, are you delivered from it?

Job 38:33 "33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?"
As a child, I would have dreams in be in many nightmares where underground tentacle monsters could sense my slightest movement and impel me,
wars, dreams of persecution, the grim Reaper, things would get wild. I remember calling on the Old Testament name of God Jehovah, and I remember things
did not end well for me when I was being assaulted by a witch. However, ever since I was a child the name of Jesus has never failed me, when I began to call on his name
Even recently, a spider demon with a human face around the size a 42" TV was crawling on my wall when I awoke from my sleep.
I spoke the name of Jesus quite a few times and I attained Mercy unto myself, for that because Jesus has the authority for this reason.
John 3:35 " He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
1 John 2:23 "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also."
I believe that God cares for his creation and doesn't want to lose them, because I believed in Jesus and had the humility to honor his name many times throughout my life.
I attained mercy through the New Covenant, agreement, or Testament. Only parts of the old still apply. The old prepared place for the New.
I believe Love is many things, and is doing many things read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (KJV) and study the langauge of the time (Middle English) and do for yourself an order of operations properly like you would use in Algebra. A few things I believe Love does it when you matter greatly it is a kindness(: an act to preserve and help you), that never lies to you.
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 1:14 "And the Word:λόγος(in ancient Greek) message, expression of God's ideas), was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
For if I read James 1:5 (KJV), do not leave out James 1:6,7, and 8 (KJV),
and while we at it live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
If there are 18000+ religions in the world I know to whom I say go to save me trouble, the name and the ideas that I will confess as Lord to be serving of and to call my friend.
Proverbs 4:19 “The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.”
A concept of the word is the idea that is behind it or what should pop into your head by what the author is meaning. If you do not have the idea of the word correct you have a misconception and it changes the whole story.
Read the KJV, pray for wisdom, pray without ceasing: don't go a day without it.

I like your videos for sure but ,what the heck do we do with them?
Tell god to fly
A big portion of the "why" of how religion fell so badly here in the west, comes down to the western reformed church and other denominations likewise, being ashamed of having all of God. Just like with how a hypocritical housewife, gets married, and then on the wedding night and for the rest of the marriage, while the loving husband selflessly gives all of his love in servitude unto his wife, while the wife accepts only some of it while always rejecting him in the marriage bed, the husband still loves her no matter what and still helps her out as much as she will let him. But she is ashamed to receive all of him, and will only receive all of what she will let herself try and grasp, rather then letting go of her ego and truly loving him back in return, while the husband longs so much for her to receive the full measure of the marriage blessing when she can let herself accept all of him, as he is a gift from God unto her.
This is how the western reformed churches relationship to the Holy Ghost is. They will only accept Him, only so much so that they can go to heaven when they die and so that they can gain access to other things to consume them upon their own desires. They will only accept the receiving of Him, but being fully possessed by Him/filled by Him, they say, "no further, you'd better not start making me behave like those whacked out pentecostals". Except, the fact is, that even though those "`whacked out pentecostals" may have mishandled the things of the fullness of God, but at the same time, they have, from a pure heart, living in an imperfect reasoning, fulfilled more the will of God in desiring to have all of Him and be fully possessed by Him, than the reformed church, who has been taught to be opposed to such things.
The truth is, is that the church which is expanding and seeing the kingdom of God manifest as explained in the book of Acts, is the charismatic pentecostal church that is outside of the western church. This church is seeing the spiritual collapse of the Islamic religion and those who were once Islam, are now desiring to worship Jesus and they hate the bad government and they want Bibles and the like so that they can learn to worship the True and Living God. This is happening because they are being converted and filled with the Holy Ghost, as are places like south Africa, and people in Asia. Whereas in America, people debate about it.
The church in the west, specifically, needs to be filled with the Holy Ghost. It isn't enough to just receive Him. That will get us only so far, but the rest comes from humbling ourselves, and ignoring people who mess things up, and instead, open our hearts and soften our necks, so that we may be filled with Him..
Something to consider
Sorry, but that's just a caricature of the reformed faith. We believe the Holy Spirit is in us and with us at all times, illuminating our minds to God's revelation and wisdom, guiding our conscience, directing our will, and sanctifying us. Saying that receiving the Holy Spirit (which means he indwells us) is not enough is getting dangerously close to saying that the Holy Spirit by himself is inadequate, as if in order for him to be effective we have to do our part. I couldn't disagree more.
@@steveareeno65 saying that the Holy Spirit is sanctifying us, is to go against what Jesus did. It is Christ Who Is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification, He suffered outside the camp to sanctify us, by the which will we are sanctified, He has sanctified and perfected us forever. And if the Holy Ghost has indeed filled, then why isn't the reformed church, as a whole, reminding the rest of the body of Christ of what happened in the book of Acts. When you become filled with the Holy Ghost, then His ministry pours out of you. When this happens, then there isn't debate on whether or not there has been a cessation or that tongues is only a gift. All of the Holy Spirit work, even back to the first century, continues unhindered, an in all of, dare I say, unrefined looking glory.
Using a good marriage as a comparison... when a man, a husband, goes in unto a woman, a wife, and a good wife, who accepts all of him and even longs to experience all of him, no matter how messy the wedding night may become in the marriage bed having been undefiled, and now the sheets may need to be replaced after the consummation - so it is with the receiving of the Holy Ghost, and then the becoming filled with the Holy Ghost.
The western church has clearly not been filled, but has received the Holy Ghost. Even the disciples, before they were filled with the Holy Ghost, having received the Holy Ghost, were changed men and women. This is what I am getting at. The receiving of the Holy Ghost and the, being filled with the Holy Ghost, are two separate experiences. Alot of folk in the west are ashamed of, or in some cases, done want to be filled with the Holy Ghost. But, how can one say that they fully love Him, if they will not want to have all of Him, and even, the parts that the mainstream western church disapproves of, and those parts are the "messy" parts.
It is these "messy" parts, that are the reason why God has been raising up the pentecostal church. God has been raising up men and women, who are not content with the baptism of John(repentance), but want the whole package(baptism of Holy Spirit and fire). And these are not the same single baptism, but 2 baptisms. That's what the Book shows us.
And what I am getting at is best demonstrated with the massive conversion of souls, outside America to knowing the True and Living Jesus Christ, while the western church dwindles, and folk deconstruct and join the alphabet colors church. Which church is growing and leading folks the most, out of darkness and the power of satan? Not the western reformed church, although there will always be a remnant of believers who are being used by God and who love Him.
The church that is having the greatest impact upon the world, is the charismatic pentecostal church. Because, they aren't just receiving the Holy Ghost, but they are being filled with Him. And they are ruined for Him because they can hear God's voice and can know Him like how the apostle Paul did. That is greater than an infinite number of confessions and institutes of the Christian religion. It is greater than an endless field of tulips and doctrinal thesis.
As an Ohioan I find the situation disappointing.
I listen to right wing political news at least once a day. I did not hear that there was an abortion law on the ballot until after it passed.
Is it really Ohios fault if those with the platform do not warn us regularly about the vote coming up.
I every commenter who complained about the passing of the pro child murder law had spoken about it before it passed, it probably would not have passed.
Did you warn us? If not you have little reason to complain.
I have right to complain because I was against it and voted against it, and told others to vote against it.
It’s time we stop blaming others and accept responsibility for ourselves.
What to make of Trump’s recent statements about abortion costing the Republicans the loss of elections?
We need to keep praying for him to get saved
Yep. Trump needs the Gospel.
He’s accurately assessing the Republican parties extraordinarily unpopular position on abortion access

Once again Doug mocks democracy and the constitution. Here is his brilliant syllogism for everything.
1-God is necessary for X(where X=logic, morality, ham sandwich, etc.).
2-X does exist(can't you see the ham sandwich?).
3-Therefore God exists.(thank God for ham sandwiches).
Doug is proof that smart people can believe ridiculous things.
John Lennox has a good answer for that: when you read a book, you can deny the existence of the author but not that fact that the book was _authored_ by an intelligent mind.
@@pj_ytmt-123 you believe in an eternal God sans proof. Is an eternal or cyclic universe equal in likelihood?
@@chuckyfarley9465 Then you also believe in _ex-nihilo_ don't you. Well in that case the Bible is preferable to any science textbook, since the Word of God promises eternal life whereas your textbooks don't even promise you a pass in the exams. 😄
@@chuckyfarley9465 On the other hand, I think you are referring to pagan theories of the universe, specifically hindu ideas of a cyclical universe.
In that case, I would take the words of Jesus, God who became flesh, who lived and died and rose again, who came down from heaven and returned to heaven, over unknown indian gurus uttering visions while high on cannabis. 😄😄
@@pj_ytmt-123 or it could be an eternal universe. We don't know. We do know it's not 6 thousand years old. Your certainty in an obviously flawed book is the point. You treat a bronze-age compilation like it's inerrant truth. Dueling versions of a creation myth, the flood, the Exodus, so many fantastic stories that you believe to be the foundation of all truth. But, all the evidence says you're wrong. Just for fun go study radiometric dating and see if the apologetic attempt to explain it away really makes sense. After that Google "heat problem with the flood". Good luck pilgrim.
Great job Doug, this was so poorly done that you can only have converted some to the other side.
🤔 by Mr. Wilson’s own admission, he did not vote for Trump vs. Jezebel. How pro-life are you really?
Doug has said earlier that he did not vote for Trump in 2016, but did vote for him in 2020.
Trump is not prolife. He was pushing transgender and murder of babies in, at the least, his foreign policy.
2016 was Nebuchadnezzar vs Jezebel
2020 was Nebuchadnezzar vs ...idk, Baasha? Jehu? ...maybe Manasseh...
Trump was only pro life for populist reasons. His personal views are almost certainly pro choice, at least to an extent.

I imagine that this is the type of inspired message that got God’s prophets scourged, persecuted and even killed. (Matt 23:34, 37)
When God judges a nation, He judges all citizens of a nation, no matter your profession of righteousness.
He also brings or allows division and separation.
Wow. That’s all I have.
