"I notice that the movie American Gangster was a missed holy opportunity for the church to publicly address: Crimes Against humanity Crimes Against the person Crimes Against the state Blue-collar crimes Corporate crimes Juvenile crimes Organized crime Political crimes Public-order State crimes State-corporate crimes Victimless crimes White-collar crimes War crimes Sexual narcissism Sexual dehumanization Human objectification and human commodification Addiction issues Broken family problems Governmental inequality How can Christians view media depictions of human traumas and not create Christlike avenues on these things in order to bring wholeness to people's lives? Why not create ministries with trained help being of valuable assistance? Church people want to be blessed, but they don't want to be a blessing. Churches should have commissions with survivors (secular and faith-based), trained experts, laypeople, and survivor-loving people. The church should understand that it's okay to lose money for true moral excellence and keeping crime-committing monsters out of the church. Their morality is immorality. They're just like "the world!" I think the church should have partnered with entities (secular and faith-based) that are trained to combat these injustices and are psychology-based trained professionals also. Workshops should be created out of all issues that people are struggling with whether they are in the congregation or not. Not everything can be solved and resolved with sermon series and ministries. It shouldn't be a "pulling teeth and nail" situation to get the church to address scary taboos. It also shouldn't be the church mentioning these scary taboos because they are tired of "feeling pressured by society." Apparently, society is godlier than the church because society publicize the need to confront what's swept under the rug. Basyle (“Boz”) Tchividjian said: "Just because you call yourself a church doesn't make you one. Just because you call yourself a pastor doesn't make you one." I say that just because you call yourself a Christian doesn't make you one. The church has to change for the better if you want people to stay in church instead of leaving it. Purity culture has go to go, the rock star evangelical pastor culture has got to go, and preaching uninterrupted during sermons has got to go. The Body of Christ doesn't exist for the most part. How can the church call itself the church or The Body of Christ due to the denominational in-fighting, and not agreeing on the basic of Jesus? The church refuses to give its all to Jesus." -ME --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

What is CGN doing to help churches in practical ways, including finances, pastoral coaching, and other resources? In this episode, I speak with Kellen Criswell and Jeff Gipe about the Funding and Development initiatives within CGN, and they share stories of how collaborative funds have already been used to help churches during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to fund new church plants. Jeff and Kellen share about opportunities we have as a network to do more together than we can separately. This episode was recorded in January 2022, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing humanitarian crisis. At the end of this episode, listen for an update on how CGN has been able to support ministries and individuals on the ground in Ukraine and the surrounding region, through the Ukraine Relief Fund. We also give an update on the development of CGN as an independent entity. New episodes are being released every two weeks.

By a Mocking of God and His Institutions, Threats to Our Churches, Country, and Jesus Followers Are Exacerbated MESSAGE SUMMARY: Our way of life is slipping quickly away from us, but our way of life is not just about elections and politics. This risk arises from direct threats to both our Christian faith-based institutions and our country's related founding principles. The news, 24/7, confirms that this risk is to our churches, to our country, and to our way of life. This threat is coming from a constant state of conflict among institutions, cultures, and individuals. The Bible provides examples of similar institutionalized conflicts throughout the ages. However, today's conflicts, in and among organized religion, are over the basic principles of Biblical teachings and Jesus' Gospel; and these conflicts make one wonder where the path for a way out of this descension and conflict will emerge.  From Clergy, Politicians, and the men and women in the street, God is mocked daily along with His institutions. Paul tells us, in Galatians 6:7, that: “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap." Some ask, in a mocking fashion, “Where is Jesus; He is supposed to be the Peacemaker?”. Jesus answers this question in Matthew 10:34-35, 38-39: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law . . . And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."    The risks from this conflict, arising from the mocking of God and the large numbers of institutions walking away from the Christian principles upon which America was founded, will only be addressed by a change in our hearts. The hearts of the people will not change until we have a true “spiritual awakening”. As Jesus tells us in John 14:1: “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”. Additionally, Isaiah tells us in Isaiah 35:4: “Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.”. A spiritual awakening is needed not only to save souls from eternal damnation but to save our way of life. This “Spiritual Awakening” begins by proclaiming Christ faithfully to the nations.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): John 20:19-25; John 16:33; John 14:27; John 1:14; 1 John 1:9; Luke 24:46; John 3:16; John 5:24; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Romans 5:8; Romans 10:10; Romans 8:1; Romans 8:38-39; John 1:12; Psalms 52:1-9.

Charlie and Pastor Rob McCoy address Mercy Culture Church in Fort Worth, Texas. Charlie begins by outlining the three types of churches: 1) Courageous churches that are standing up for truth both inside the walls of the church and outside in the public square; 2) Cowardly churches that abdicate political and policy debates because they're fearful of the blowback from taking a stand; and 3) the Complicit churches that are actually helping the woke left advance their diabolical agenda. In the full pastor panel including Landon and Heather Schott, things get revved up in a Q+A segment that you won't want to miss, where they cover questions including: How do you share the truth without being so controversial? What to do with the trans agenda? What to do with CRT and America history? What is coming down the pike with Roe v. Wade? And so much more!  Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia — much like the rest of the world — is experiencing a critical shortage of priests. Churches of various faiths are struggling to fill vacancies. So why aren't more people answering the call? Join James Carleton and the God Forbid panel this week as they consider the growing problem of a shrinking clergy. 

In this session, American church historian Christina Littlefield will explore how one American pastor yoked the evangelical pietism of his Northern Baptist youth to the social justice platform of the Progressive Era, helping to develop the 1908 Social Creed of the Churches. Walter Rauschenbusch (1861-1918) was one of the leading voices of the early evangelically social gospel. However, he grew up in a conservative household in Rochester, New York and spent zero time thinking about the social conditions of the industrial age, until he began ministering to German immigrants in Hell's Kitchen, New York in the 1880s. The frequency of funerals for children convinced him the Gospel should serve the whole person, body and soul, and the whole of society, not just the church. He grounded his theological vision in the social justice calls of the Hebrew prophets and the kingdom of God rhetoric of Jesus Christ.

Churches, schools, and seminaries were closed; foreign clergy were expelled. Cristóbal established a clandestine seminary at Totatiche, Jalisco. He and the other priests were forced to minister secretly to Catholics during the presidency of Plutarco Calles (1924-28). All of these martyrs except three, were diocesan priests. David, Manuel and Salvador were laymen who died with their parish priest, Luis Batis. They all belonged to the Cristero movement, pledging their allegiance to Christ and to the Church that he established, to spread the Good News in society—even if Mexico's leaders had made it a crime to receive baptism or celebrate the Mass. These martyrs did not die as a single group but over 22 years time in eight Mexican states, with Jalisco and Zacatecas having the largest number. They were beatified in 1992 and canonized eight years later.  Reflection Every martyr realizes how to avoid execution, but refuses to pay the high price of doing so. A clear conscience was more valuable than a long life. We may be tempted to compromise our faith while telling ourselves that we are simply being realistic, dealing with situations as we find them. Is survival really the ultimate value? Do our concrete, daily choices reflect our deepest values, the ones that allow us to “tick” the way we do? Anyone can imagine situations in which being a follower of Jesus is easier than the present situation. Saints remind us that our daily choices, especially in adverse circumstances, form the pattern of our lives. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
