Episode notes
Shallow Converts
- Many churches prioritize evangelism without proper discipleship.
- This creates converts with shallow faith, failing to be "salt and light".
The German Church and Hitler
- Eric Metaxas parallels the current American church with the German church during Hitler's rise.
- Both focused on church services without actively opposing evil.
Avoid Religious Excuses
- Avoid giving religious excuses for inaction against evil.
- This is demonic, as religiosity without God's will is anti-Christ.
