What happens when a nation forgets its spiritual foundations? In this thought-provoking exploration of America's Christian heritage, Jesse Cope connects seemingly disparate current events—from China's role in the fentanyl crisis to universities' embrace of DEI policies—to reveal a common thread: our collective unwillingness to acknowledge ideologies fundamentally opposed to our founding principles.The heart of this episode centers on an illuminating examination of the 1811 New York Supreme Court case "People v. Ruggles." Through Chief Justice Kent's powerful opinion, we discover how early American jurisprudence understood religious freedom in a way dramatically different from today's interpretations. Kent unequivocally declared America "a Christian people" whose morality was "deeply engrafted upon Christianity," distinguishing the true faith from what he called "imposters." This historical perspective challenges our modern assumption that the First Amendment requires treating all religions equally.Cope brilliantly articulates that the First Amendment was never intended to "separate God from the state" but rather to prevent the government from favoring particular denominations—a crucial distinction lost in contemporary discourse. Drawing from James Chapter 4, he confronts listeners with a fundamental choice between friendship with the world and friendship with God, warning that pursuit of the former inevitably leads to conflict with divine principles.For anyone concerned about America's spiritual direction, this episode offers both sobering analysis and hopeful perspective. As Calvin Coolidge once observed, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease." Have you made God your checkbox or your compass? The answer to this question might determine not just your personal faith journey but our collective future as a nation.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

God, can't you hear me?! Why aren't you answering my prayers? Or maybe we should say it like it is; God why aren't you giving me what I want when I pray? Today we are discussing prayer, our selfish desires and how they don't get along very well. But don't worry, there's good news too. God gives us the Holy Spirit to help us as we pray and lead us to confession.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, April 6, 2024, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.Powered by Restream https://restream.io/(Bensound Royality Free background music)

In a world of temptations it is difficult to know what the Lord desires for us. We are being constantly pulled in every direction with each pull being from desire and passion. Within all of us however, we have a decision. We can feed the godly self or feed our flesh and give into the world.

Today is another day where Jaems feels like Proverbs. James talks to us about two things: judging others and making plans for the future. In both of these, his message is this. You are not God. How can you judge? You are not the lawgiver. Only God is the lawgiver. Judging is His domain, not ours. Likewise, how can you say what tomorrow will hold? Only God can do that. This perspective gives us peace; it helps us. It is not all up to us. It is up to God. We just need to be faithful and trust in God for all the rest.

James reminds me of a New Testament Proverbs. There is so much good stuff there within it. Today, we see such good advice about lament and pain; we also are told to resist the devil, and he will flee. We are not bound up in our sins. But the main thing that we talk about is this. What does it mean to say we should not be friends with the world? Yet, at the same time, we are called to be holy. How do we stand against the world while we still love the people who make up the world?

Season 3, Episode 14 w/ Darryl Brunson
James begins today's section by explaining that fighting, warring, and quarrels arise from the passions that wage war within us. In other words, people fight because they want what they want and won't humble themselves before the Lord. James says that it is arrogant even to confidently assert that you know what tomorrow will hold. Instead, James says that our conversations should be peppered with reminders that God is control of our days. Later he condemns those who become rich through unjustly withholding wages from those who have worked for them. Though many in this world may be dishonest and unjust to get what they want, James encourages the church to be truthful in all things, letting their “yes” always mean “yes” and their “no” always mean “no.” Finally, James urges the church to pray during times of suffering or sickness. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

At the core? A call to let go of self-centered living and surrender fully to God. What if life isn't about control—but about trusting the One who truly is in control?
