Here are a few take away points from this very informative interview:
- God is trying to get the church to speak and not be silent.
- Eric took writing this book very seriously, “What does God want to say”.
- The book is like a needed cold bucket of water being thrown in the face of the church.
- The American church is being silent in the face of evil similar to the German church leading up to WWII.
- There was also CRT (Critical Race Theory) way back then.
- Some evangelical churches are opening their doors to CRT.
- Many church think they are only supposed to “preach the gospel”. Jesus did more than that, He spoke truth about all issues.
- Eric says don’t stay in churches where they hide the truth about what’s going on.
- This is urgent, it’s not at the door step, it’s in the building.
- The Bonhoeffer story is a warning to us.
- Millions of people are looking to the church for wisdom on all the craziness that is going on.
- The safe thing, i.e. churches afraid to make waves, is probably from the devil.
- It is and should be a privilege to participate in the battle
- People have died for what we have in this country
