A powerful wake-up call for Americans who have forgotten the Christian foundations of our republic. In this thought-provoking episode, I explore how we've been blessed with countless talents yet often fail to use them for God's purposes or our nation's benefit.What talents has God given you? Whether it's athletic ability, academic intelligence, compassion, loyalty, or financial resources - we all have something. The real question is: what are you doing with these gifts? Just like in Jesus's parable of the talents, we'll be judged not by comparison to others but by how we've stewarded what we've been given. Those blessed with more carry greater responsibility.For generations, Americans have proudly rested on the achievements of those who went before us, celebrating our victories while gradually losing what they fought for. I share Calvin Coolidge's profound 1923 Memorial Day address, where he declared that American institutions are "founded on righteousness" and that the settlers who shaped our nation were "intent upon establishing a Christian commonwealth." This uncomfortable truth challenges modern notions of patriotism: you cannot be truly pro-American if you reject the general principles of Christianity that form our foundation.Most urgently, I warn that "there's going to come a final opportunity" - both for individuals to accept Christ and for our nation to return to its roots. Just as there comes a day when a spouse stops asking for attention or a child stops asking to play, there will come a time when God stops calling us to turn to Him. That reality should motivate us to action now, before it's too late.Join me in examining how our personal faith connects to America's destiny and why acknowledging our Christian heritage isn't just about preserving history—it's about securing our future. What will you do with the time and talents God has given you?Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Older women who are seasoned in service, devoted to good works, chaste, courageous, and humble deserve special honor in the church.
When Paul says that professing believers who do not provide for their relatives deny the faith, what does he mean?
Pastor Marshall Ochs | February 2, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from 1 Timothy 5. This chapter focuses on healthy, respectful relationships within the church family, emphasizing honor, purity, and mutual encouragement. He outlines how widows should be cared for, distinguishing between true widows who are dedicated to God and younger women who may still desire to remarry, while also offering guidance on how to care for church leaders, urging fairness and patience in leadership decisions. Ultimately, Paul is advocating for a church that is a beautiful, attractive reflection of God's household, one that stands apart from the world through its care for widows, integrity in leadership, and purity in relationships.
God shows special care for the most destitute among his people, such as widows without living relatives. How might local churches follow his example?
oday important insight on the body of Christ. There's no caste system in the family of God. Pastor Ray Bentley says the ground is level at the cross. There's nobody in a higher status. Better status, closer status. There are no second class citizens. There's nothing you could do. Performer accomplished. That will make God love you more or feel more love for you than he does right now.
Today some important thoughts on the family of God. Pastor Ray Bentley says the Lord never meant for us to face this life alone. To tough it out solo life is meant to be enjoyed and shared both its challenges trials, struggles, joys, exhilarating times together with others. That's what makes life rewarding and beautiful and rich. God made it that way.
Paul had no notion of godliness without fruit. Real godliness shows itself in the overflow of good works, especially to the neediest.

Men and women, old and young are not the same — nor do they call for the same kind of pastoral care. Mature pastors exhort each one appropriately.
We ought to honor the elderly; the Bible makes that clear. But why? Do we honor the aged because they are often wiser, or does the reason go deeper?
