8 Reasons Why the Church Lost the Culture Wars in North America by Joseph Mattera

By Joseph Mattera December 15, 2020 -  Click here for Bishop Mattera's orginal ariticle.  I believe his insight is excellent and it certainly complements the articles I've written in the last year and I wanted to encourage you to see Joe's 8 points and his in depth look at each one.  Here are the 8 points.

1. Pastors abandoned the gospel of the kingdom.
2. The Johnson amendment accomplished the author’s desired goal.
3. Church growth became more important than making disciples.
4. The Left was more committed.
5. The Church became relevant instead of reforming.
6.  Believers used God to chase the American dream.
7. Christians on the Right focused only on politics.
8. The Evangelical Church has been divided politically.

War is Dynamic
​
It is important to realize that war is dynamic.  It is constantly changing.

The body of Christ needs to be connected and stay connected.  Leaders need to be trained to think, plan, pray and act strategically.   It is important to realize that this current election crisis we are praying through is merely one battle, a very important battle in the culture war.  After this battle is won, another will arise. 

So I encourage you to:

1. Stay informed, stand your watch, pray and act.​
2. Remember to not neglect your personal time with our Lord and your family.  Crew rest is important.  You've got to stay healthy spiritually, mentally and physically to stay ready for the next fight and there will be more battles to come. That's up to you and only you can steward that.
   
3. Stay resolute and never surrender - click here.
