The Idolatry of the American Church

Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?
Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?
Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,
     "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; and I will welcome you. And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me," says the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 NASB

When the face of American evangelical Christianity is a man who stands in stark opposition to everything Jesus taught, and modeled for us by example in the gospels, the hypocrisy is glaring.

By supporting this man and his movement; by ignoring and excusing his unrepentant actions; by embracing his ungodly agenda, all in the name of Jesus, we give the lost around us an opportunity to blaspheme the God we claim to serve. Instead of drawing lost souls into the kingdom, we drive them away. Why would they want what "we have" when we have nothing at all. 

If the salt has lost its flavor it is worthless (Matt 5:13). I'm afraid our becoming yoked to the political system has cost us dearly in the eyes of the world. It has cost us more than we can ever imagine.

Today if you hear His voice.....
