Could it be that God, himself is allowing modern idolatry to run its course until the people cry out for God’s intervention? If we honestly think that might be even remotely possible, then what are we doing – in faith – to prepare for the harvest of souls who will need to be discipled much more Biblically than the traditional churches have done in recent generations? This is something worth serious ongoing discussion and prayerful planning in every congregation of true believers… but wise builders must lead the way… not just those gifted with gifts of exhortation and academic instruction. We need gifted men… Bold men… courageous men… strong men… with many different gifts working together. And that’s the way our Creator made “the body” to have interactive dependence on all its various members.

The Reformation resulted in a virtually global cultural revolution that affected every sphere of human society. Why? Because the society in Europe was so oppressed by the corrupted organized church leaders of the time that the common people finally began to discover from the Bible that they could think for themselves. Before the Reformation the idea of personal liberty was completely foreign to their thinking. They were subjects of their king, who owned everything. That’s why the American constitutional principle of “We the People” having the liberty to be accountable to our society at large, enabled our nation to become the most exceptional nation to ever exist on earth. It is also what led to the battle cry of the soldiers of the Revolutionary War: “No king but Jesus.”
