Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, examines what polls are telling us about Americans’ lack of understanding of not only the history of Independence Day but why we celebrate this day. It has become clear that the majority of Americans do not understand how our form of democratic government works. He goes on to point out how patriotism in America has declined to the point that only 11% of Democrats believe that the United States is the greatest country in the world. Dr. Hall reviews the history of the Revolutionary War and the freedoms provided in our Constitution along with freedoms taken for granted. It is asserted that the Bible teaches Christians to be good citizens and obey governing authorities. In other words, Scripture demands that Christians exhibit patriotism and support for government because it was installed by God.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses mankind’s tendency to repeat the same sins. To those who think God has given up on them Dr. Hall explains how God is the God of second chances. He uses the story of Job as a powerful testament to redemption and grace, God providing a second chance. Dr. Hall points to other biblical characters who exemplify the fact that God is a God of second chances. But it is pointed out that God is not the God of second chances to everybody in the world. Dr. Hall gives biblical examples of individuals who are not given a second chance and then outlines the criteria that would qualify you to be in the group given second chances.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses the question of why church attendance in the US has plummeted and what has led to churches losing their voice in the culture of America. Dr. Hall reviews a litany of things in US culture that reflect a moral decline. As he addresses these things he repeatedly asks the question, “Who’s fault,Him is it?” He points out that more and more thoughtful commentators say the fault lies with the churches of America. Many of the cultural shifts in America that have led to churches losing their cultural traction are reviewed and analyzed. It is pointed out that some do not blame religious leaders for the failures of their churches and the retreat from American life but see those changes as a slow cumulative cultural shift. Others, including Dr. Hall, blame church leaders for much of the moral decline in America. The podcast concludes with Dr. Hall adamantly stating, “The future for the Christian church and believers is not hopeless. The time has come for the church’s light to shine again.” Can be heard on all podcast search engines and viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/O5ZqoGZg9oI
