How are Christians supposed to respond and think about world events? For over three centuries, Christianity stood as the foundation and center of American life. Though flawed, God’s people influenced the soul and fabric of this nation. In world history, American history has been an exception.
Because of this, the events of recent decades and the last year are shocking to many. Riots in Portland, Increasing Liberalism in the Church and lies in the media, racism and violence have become normal in America. Increasing polarization exists at every level of society and violence is seen as a viable solution. Evil is openly unrestrained.
As Christians, how are we to see these shifts? What is our response? Today, Pastor David Snyder responds to these questions with a Biblical View of World Events and events in today’s America.
In the Bible, it was normal for nations to rage against God and against God’s people. In Acts, the church was persecuted and marginalized. We must understand that humanity is sinful and rebellious against God. Our American culture is now post-Christian, and the result is an America that demands his blessing, even as we hold hostility against Jesus.
Jesus is giving America over to what she really wants. America was built on a Judeo-Christian ethic and allegiance to the God of the Bible. Though our history is flawed beyond our comprehension, our standard was righteous. Yet, for over a century, forces at every level have rejected and displaced this foundation. Like Israel, God is giving us over to our basest desires and letting us eat the fruit.
Finally, we must understand that the heart of the church is being sifted. On both sides of the political spectrum, the church is being exposed for allegiance to unbiblical ideologies. For decades, “conservative” and “Christian” were synonymous. Jesus, however, isn’t an anti-immigration, capitalist Republican. God is rebuking segments of the church that have failed to see a difference between his kingdom and an Americanism unwilling to acknowledge God as king. America does not replace or have claim to God’s promises as the church does. Jesus is extracting his name from Americanism contrary to his nature and Word. We must understand that to claim Jesus’ name for political ends is idolatry.
We must move from “sides” altogether and move toward Jesus and his true kingdom! Join us for our next video in the next few days!

Twenty Six Eight is a Boise congregation devoted to following Jesus. One way we’re unique is that we blend Christian and Jewish beliefs and practices. We refer to this distinctive mixture as Messianic. Practically, this means we meet on Saturday morning (called Sabbath) and celebrate the biblical holidays (called Appointed Times or Festivals). We love Jesus’ church, the Jewish people, and the nation of Israel. We’ve been in the Treasure Valley for twenty years and have walked as a Messianic congregation for over twelve years.

Is loving your country, your world, idolatry? Absolutely not, but yes putting nationalism or any ism before Messiah most definitely is idolatry. To want our nation to be a shinning city on a hill, to return to Yah’s instructions (Torah) is a good goal. So how, through Messiah Repent, Believe what Messiah did for us, and let love fuel our obedience to Torah, we win. Political parties are like religions to the lost, but politics are simply the issues of the day that we face. Yah is in the issues, but not from championing a cause, rather changing hearts so there is no cause. Its ok to love your nation in the right perspective, but our citizenship is not of this world and our mission is Yah first, people next. Shalom.
Rebellion- secularly
But truly "Conservative" Christians think Constitutionaly and want to return to first principles: A governmental framework that the people can form a "More Perfect Union."
Liberty over "security", Principle over party, Truth over Personality.
Sadly, a minority as churches have gotten caught up in the false "red V blue" dichotomy
It is so refeshing to hear a sound, biblical message like this regarding these issues. And once again, in a very loving way Rav David is able to call out the idoltry in the "church" and the identity it's created for it'self outside the identity of being The Bride.
I see why this video has this few views…this is the TRUTH, fasho a good word100.
