Church: California Pastor Dr. John MacArthur Interview on Tucker Carlson 7/28/2020 [VIDEO]

Video

Fox News Tucker Carlson show on 7/28/2020 featured an interview with Dr. John MacArthur from Southern California's church, Grace Community Church, addressing the several month issue of an American state of the union prohibiting churches from Sunday services or any other small group gathering like in homes.

The issue arose when the state governor used the pandemic and emergency declaration as a way to illegitimatize churches' God given mandate to serve him and the American 1st amendment of "prohibiting the free exercise thereof," freedom to assemble, free speech, and even peaceful protest. Beyond these initial two points, the state governor allowed for other things and people to exercise rights and even beyond their rights like rioting as well as other legal and illegal activity (abortion, liquor stores, protests, destruction of people’s property and businesses, etc.).

Church: Cultural Marxism by Voddie Baucham

Video [1 Hour]

Founders’ Description

Voddie Baucham has spoken of the unbiblical ideology imbedded in Cultural Marxism. In this address, he unpacks Cultural Marxism identifying how it is incompatible with the Christian faith that has once for all been delivered to the saints.

In recent years we have a growing concern about “social justice.” What is meant by that phrase, however, varies widely among those who use and promote it. What is too often missing—even in the calls for “social justice” coming from Christian leaders—is a clear understanding of biblical justice. Justice exists because God is just and righteous. He is the One who defines justice and He has revealed what true justice is in the Bible. For more resources on these topics, you can visit www.founders.org.

This presentation was given by Voddie Baucham on January 3, 2019 at the Southeast Founders "Do Justice, Love Kindness, Walk Humbly" regional conference in Cape Coral, Florida.

About

This is one of several resources to explain the historical and economical 2008 housing crisis in America, and we are not posting it for political purposes (as some politicians disparage one another in the video, especially at the end).

Primarily, the video contains interviews from key people involvement from government and banks to news reporters that prove helpful in remembering specific facts during that period of time. Pictures and videos are captured throughout the video as a montage reminder of the recent past, and an example of why when we don’t live by truth and love and by greed and gain, then even our natural state of existence and economy cannot be sustainable — in America or throughout the world. HBO Vice’s video helpfully provides and portrays within an hour and a half the difficult realties of life, especially when we live Godlessly and how “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10).”

After watching the video, then imagine what it would look like if people and economical systems were built by a Godly heart inspired by truth and love.
