America is in decline. For all its talk of separation of Church and State, it has adopted “Wokism”, a form of secular humanism, as it's state religion. This is the case throughout the Western world. Speak out against anything WOKE and you can find yourself in prison. A Finnish Parliament Member, Päivi Räsänen, has been denied entry into the UK for her Christian beliefs[1]. Also in England, police are looking for someone who painted “White Lives Matter” graffiti on a wall[2].

It is being pursued as a “hate crime” and the perpetrator faces many years in prison. Many conservative and Christian groups in the US are persecuted by the government. Alexis de Tocqueville praised America and its religious roots, but now it seems to be pursuing a path to totalitarianism. It is immolating itself. How could this happen?

Secular voices have always been a part of life. Some of the framers of the US Constitution were admirers of the French Revolution and wanted to use those as founding principles. The Democratic Party members were ardent followers of the principles of the French Revolution and want to replace the US Constitution with one built on the secularism of the French Constitution. There has always been this tension, but throughout, the religious principles upon which the nation was founded have always prevailed. What is different this time?

The difference is the church. The western church is beset with problems.

We are to be salt and light, and one problem is that the light is dimming. Teachings like “Prosperity Gospel” are diminishing the light. God wants His people to prosper, but the focus is on material prosperity which is carnal in nature. In fact, the church today is called the most carnal church in recent memory.

The second problem is that the light is being hidden under “a bushel” and, as a result, we are losing our saltiness, our ability to preserve the culture. With the vitriolic attacks on biblical principles and the injunctions added by the Johnson Amendment in 1954, pastors are reluctant to speak out on social and political issues. Ravi Zacharias. in “Deliver Us From Evil”[3], talked about the church closing its doors (so to speak), looking inward, wagging its finger at the decay outside the door, but doing nothing to stop the slide.

Syncretism abounds. Theologians have been integrating the world into the church since its birth. The apostle Paul wrote many times, speaking out against Judaizing, license, unfaithfulness, exhorting the church to holiness. Thomas Aquinas integrated the........
