Plus, new surveys saying a majority of Americans no longer see human life as ‘Sacred’ but see humanity as ‘Basically Good.’ And new Barna research shows 87% of Christians believe the USA has been blessed by God. Hmm.

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?

Pastor Shane Idleman says there’s no plan B and America needs revival! “Change will only occur when there is a strong conviction of sin, accompanied by genuine faith, humility, and repentance… [to pastors] We must stop confusing God’s patience with His approval, open churches and preach with conviction from the pulpits again.”

Patrick Wood: Masks Do More Harm Than Good; Study, Testimonies

by Stand Up For The Truth | Nov 20, 2020 | Anxiety, Bible Prophecy, Christianity, COVID 19, Globalism, In the News, Podcast, Religious Freedom | 2 |

Another study finds that masks do not effectively protect people from viruses. In fact, more evidence suggests masks cause more health problems, especially among children! We address religious freedom and how speech and liberties are being censored and infringed upon.

For Christians, these are the most prophetic times in world history. In America, we’re seeing an unprecedented push by globalists and the left to weaken or even take down this nation. They now know the Covid crisis can be used to implement many of their agendas.
