Dr. Erwin Lutzer pastored Moody Church in Chicago for 36 years! He has recently written a book, ‘We Will Not Be Silenced’, which we recommend. Dr. Lutzer explains to Alisa Childers that we need to be prepared to stand against the tide of the culture we are living in and learn to be the Church for those who may face persecution for refusing to be silenced for the name of Jesus Christ. Decide now if you will you be like the thirteen percent.

"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression." Never was a more apposite word spoken. Christians are facing REAL persecution in other parts of the world; in the USA, persecution is perceived whenever freedom of speech allows others to criticize their views as well as allowing them to express them.

I'm not saying this is being done on purpose, but, my comment seems to have magically disappeared.
What do Christians expect here? For generations Christians used the mob rule-of democracy to force their morals on people
Christians have lost the political power that they had and now they have to deal with non Christians treating them the same way.

AMEN 🙏🏽 AMEN 🙏🏽 AMEN 🙏🏽❤️📖❤️

You’re not being silenced.
The internet has given you more reach than ever before but it’s also given access to information showing that religion is man made mythology.

Excellent session

Wow. More Christian persecution complex. You do realise you practically run the show in the US don't you? You do realise that Mitch McConnell has been loading the courts at all levels with Christian nationalists don't you? I'm more worried about the freedoms Christians will take from non-Christians than the other way round.
When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like persecution.

This is for cross-examined, i hope i got Dr. Frank Turrek answer or direct or anyone direct me to an answe or videos on this. I remember seeing Dr. Turrek mentioned that before young Christian enter college, there is 70% of them. While in college that drop to 25% still with faith. My brother was one of those 50% that lost faith. And then after college some come back to the faith back to 50%. One thing Dr. Turrek said that the reason being is the parents didn't tell their children why you need religion or faith in relationships with God. I am a Catholic a Christian myself and trying to raise 2 daughters on the faith in God and looking for answer to tell my children why they need religion and faith in God. Hopefully i get the anwer to or link to the answer.

At least you guys keep the comment section open. I give you credit for that.

Stand on your convictions!
Steve Parks
It takes a strong person these days to stand up for the Lord and to follow him. I've pretty much given up on politics sorry to say. My main focus now is just serving the Lord and helping as many people as I can to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This is what happens when you believe a story with a talking donkey in it. You end up being a biggot and thinking its the right thing to do.

Sorry, what persecutions are American Christians supposedly facing? This whole video seems ridiculous and unwarranted

Tell Father God you love Him, glory!
Luke 10:27
“He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice at all times. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
John Harrison
Committed Christians need to become as knowledgeable and skilled as possible regarding SELF-SUFFICIENCY; and, committed Christians need to become as WILLING as possible to TAKE-CARE-OF and SUPPORT each other. Each of us will be EASY PREY if we don't COME to each other's AID in time of TROUBLE. [and, make NO mistake; we ARE HATED by WELL-POSITIONED enemies now]
Constantin Silviu
„stand against”? you can not stand against of the word of the Lord! are you under some impression that what is happening right now, or the tribulation that is about to come, it is not the will of God? have you not read the Scriptures? but „Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you”. No more talking, Christians brothers, it is time for us to climb the way to Calvary. Are you ready? Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nobody is trying to silence you. Nobody is taking your freedoms away.
Ya'all need to drop the martyr complex. It's really childish.

Its a play that man is blind about repeating good and evil, ISAIAH 45:7I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these .

God is in us called temple not churches made with hands and seen. Luke 17: (Left a hint about where the Bibles stories are not seen by flesh and blood).20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. So anything wrote like Matt 24 isn't seen by man, reading the Bible as history keeps you looking for it when its in you.

If there is confusion in your life, and you resolve it in your imagination, and the world bears witness to what you have done – you caused the change. And since there is no other cause, then did you not cause the confusion also? There is only one God and Father of us all who is above all, through all, and in all. If He is in every being who says I am, and there is only one God, no one can accuse another; for God’s name is not HE IS, but I AM. No matter what appears on the outside, I am its cause. Assume full responsibility for the things you observe, and if you do not like what you see, know you have the power to change them. Then exercise that power and you will observe the change you caused. If you are truly willing to assume that responsibility, you are set free.

I don't know what Pastor Lutzer is referring to when he says he is facing persecution.
The vast majority of Americans (60-70%) are Christians,
"In God we trust" is stamped on U.S. coins and currency and displayed on banners in public schools.
Days of prayer to the Christian god are publicly announced by high ranking officials.
Federal and state courthouses have the Ten Commandments prominently displayed inside and outside the courthouse .
Christian Conservative radio and TV stations across the country broadcast religious content to listeners.
Approximately 20,000 Catholic Churches and 30,000 Protestant Churches cover the landscape.
Any movement toward reason and reality by a 15% minority is an attack on Christian privilege.

"There are people advocating to have the constitution changed" like the bill of rights, and all the other amendments to the constitution. The constitution is a very edited and change document to keep all people free, not just christians.
John Harrison
Back in the 'nineties, some group of backside-burnt anti-Americans like the FFRF filed a lawsuit over a 'Ten Commandments' monument "on public property" in Ohio. In response, a Christian group started offering free 'Ten Commandments' yard-signs to people. Thousands were displayed. I think that was an appropriate response: Make them CHOKE-ON what they're trying to eliminate. 💪💪💪

Left out the bits where many people and Christians in communistic states were treated brutally and their needs were not met. Even those who supported those who took a stand or looked after kids of parents who were imprisoned were beaten so bad they could no longer function as a warning to others. Let’s not paint a rosey picture about needs being met.

We could start by taxing churches.

Let's see now…. there's over 2 billion Christians worldwide, about 350,000 Christian churches in the USA, and this channel has 339k subscribers…. I'm not seeing how anyone's in danger of being "silenced".

It's time for Americans–and by extension, all those in western nations–to wake up to the fact that they don't live under a system of government whereby the 'people rule' (i.e. democracy). If the US was democratic, AND the majority of its citizens were Christians, then this so-called 'cultural Marxism' could not prevail. However, given that the majority of people are merely cultural-Christians rather than adherents, AND they are dictated to by politicians and their parties' donors, Americans will remain powerless to stop these atheistic and satanic assaults upon God and Christendom. Therefore, unless Christians repent by heeding the Great Commission and obeying God's command to love each other and pray for our enemies, then Jesus will permit us to suffer for our sins against Him and our fellow human beings. So, instead of rebuking each other for our affiliation or misguided manner in which we worship Him, we must refocus on bringing non-believers to profess that He is Lord.

I believe this country is going to go the way of every other country in this world in the end because Revelation says it will. They will join the one world government/religion and worship the Beast. What we see is only the beginnings and it is very clear that the liberal movement is going to play a big part in that.

03:50 "We can no longer depend on the courts and the government" I've never trusted our government. It's ran by satanists and greedy rich folks seeking power. The only thing "Christian" about this country is the fact that many Christians live here but we are most certainly not a "Christian country."
Duane Richards
What we believe in is always going to be in conflict with what the world believes. It's inevitable. So why pansy around? Stand for God and don't worry about what people think about it.

Looking forward to picking my copy up. Thank you Dr Lutzer.
InfoArtist JK at The Good Info Café
Excellent clear accurate warning. Thank you. Unfortunately, "The church" will not stand with true followers of Jesus/Yeshua's instructions. Only individual true believers will stand with other true believers. "The church" as a whole will not. They have a cancer within. Love and peace…but brace yourselves! 🎶Love your enemies, though to protect the innocent they make you stop them🎶

It's clear everything is coming to a end ,and Jesus is becoming a reality now….😊🙏

UNDERSTAND THIS.
These wicked people in the media and the courts are going to use the same tactics against Christians the way they did to Christ when He stood in front of the Sanhedrin and government officials.

The NAZIS were a brand of socialism called NATIONAL SOCIALISTS. The media doesn't like to mention that little fact because it hits too close to home.
Hans De Mos
Dr. Lutzer refers to a Chicago teacher who said he can lose his job if he doesn't "celebrate" same sex marriage. I have tried to look this up, but there doesn't seem to be any such provision in the Chicago public school system regulations. There is the 2019 Inclusive Curriculum Law, which says that by eighth grade, public schools must teach pupils about contributions to state and U.S. history made by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, but there are no specific prescriptive rules set for the curriculum, and of course its powers do not extend to the private lives of the teachers.
Dr. Lutzer then tells a story about a pastor in East Germany, in which he claims that the pastor told him that kids who went to church would not be allowed to go to school. Although private schools, including Christian schools, were not allowed in East Germany, all kids had to go to the public schools. In fact, as the public school system was seen as a primary instrument of indoctrination, it would be difficult to imagine the communist authorities willingly letting some impressionable souls slip from their clutches.
I don't know if the pastor Dr. Lutzer talks about really existed, or that Dr. Lutzer misunderstood what he said, or that the pastor maybe referred to some local incident, but it seems clear that Dr. Lutzer is incorrect if he suggests that this was the norm in East Germany.
As both examples Dr. Lutzer gives in this clip do not seem to be based in reality, one has to wonder about the real value of the book he is hawking. It just seems like scaremongering to me.
Hans De Mos
Ms. Childers says "If that happened, if the constitution actually were edited…"
It is called "amending", not "editing", and it is an established, legal, democratic and constitutional procedure. Why the scare-mongering?

The freedoms that we have will eventually erode because as Christians we know what the Bible says the future holds. Revelation spells that out very clearly. Eventually there will be a one world government and nobody will have rights as we view rights today.

Conservative Christian victimhood culture is bizarre. Its no different than what you see on the far left.
