Gospel Pastors Preaching

| Rabbi, before we get off this subject of what to vote for, how to vote, what about what's going on in America? | |
| I have seen in America the scariest change that I've ever seen. | |
| Not just in the sinning America, the church America. | |
| And I'm talking about gospel pastors. | |
| And when I say gospel, preach what they call the full gospel. | |
| People that are Baptists, people who are all different denominations. | |
| And they are preaching, you know, you must be born again. | |
| They're preaching about Jesus. | |
| But they are standing in their pulpits and they are naming the candidates. | |
| And this is in elections past as well as now. | |
| And they are telling their people from the pulpit to vote for someone who is totally in favor of abortion. | |
| This is a time of testing, our testing. | |
| When you look at, you know, what did Messiah say? | |
| He said, you are the salt of the earth, you are the light of the world. | |
| Well, what happens if the salt loses its saltiness and the light doesn't shine? | |
| Well, the salt doesn't preserve and everything becomes rotten, and if the light doesn't shine, everything becomes dark. | |
| Well, you can't have one without the other. | |
| If America is going so rapidly to darkness and cultural rottenness, then it must mean that the church as a whole is not being the light and the salt it was called to be. | |
| Cannot be any other way. | |
| Cannot possibly, it doesn't mean everybody, but it means a large scale. | |
| We have witnessed, in our prosperity, we've witnessed the turning of the gospel away from focusing on God to focusing on us. | |
| What can God do for us? | |
| And in our own confines, the culture's going to hell, but God is here to make you more successful. | |
| He's here to be your personal counselor, your trainer. | |
| That's not who God is. | |
| Yes, God will bless, but God is God. | |
| We are his worshipers. | |
| So this thing has been, has already, it's kind of, you know, one of the signs of judgment is when the righteous are of no effect. | |
| And that's what we are watching. | |
| You cannot have the floodgates open if the watchmen were doing their job. | |
| Some of it's the culture, but some of it's the church. | |
| So that is part. | |
| It's not everybody. | |
| There are a lot of righteous people. | |
| At the same time, there's also a lot of righteous people who are very scared and they don't want to say anything. | |
| They don't want to stick their neck out because they don't want a lawsuit. | |
| They don't want to be cast again. | |
| They don't want to be called a bigot. | |
| But it's cowardice. | |
| There's no time for being a coward here. | |
| We have to stick our neck out or every neck will go off. | |
| It's time for courage. | |
| God calls us to be courageous. | |
| You know, again, the gray is going, and so you're going to be, you're either going all out or all out one way or the other. | |
| Might as well go all out for what is good. | |
| Might as well go, you know, take the frick at the breaks, go completely out, because that's what the days are requiring. | |
| This is our test. | |
| And you're going to see who stands. | |
| You know, when everything's gray, you don't see it all. | |
| When the test comes, that's when you see people where they were really at. | |
| So true. | |
| And churches as well. | |
