The Leviticus Warning

 Most Christians today are nothing more than political activists with Jesus bumper stickers.

I know because I was heading down that exact path.

Years ago, you would have found me glued to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, hanging on every word like they were delivering divine revelation from Mount Sinai.

Shocked by what was happening to my country. Enraged by the moral decline. Ready to fight every cultural battle except the one that actually mattered.

Then God dragged me kicking and screaming into a local church that changed everything.

What's your experience with churches that actually preach the Word vs. those that preach politics? Drop a comment below.

From Talk Radio Prophet to Biblical Disciple

I can't stress enough the importance of a local church.

Not the kind that doubles as a Republican campaign headquarters.

Not the kind where the pastor spends more time commenting on CNN than expounding scripture.

A church where the pastor actually preaches the Word of God.

Ours literally changed the trajectory of our lives.

To have brothers and sisters in Christ who are really striving together instead of just sharing memes about how terrible Democrats are.

To sit under sound Bible teaching that anchors your soul in eternal truth instead of temporary political outrage.

This is rarer than finding an honest politician in today's culture.

The Transformation I Didn't See Coming

God brought me under sound biblical preaching and something remarkable happened:

I started finding my anchor in Him and His Word instead of the shifting sands of political commentary.

Don't get me wrong - the cultural decline is real, the moral decay is accelerating, and yes, we should be concerned.

But I discovered something that Rush and Glenn never told their audiences:

When your foundation is political instead of biblical, you're building on sand.

When the next election disappoints you, when the next conservative hero falls, when the next cultural victory turns into defeat - what's left?

If your hope is in politics, you're already defeated.

If your hope is in Christ, you're already victorious.

The "Meme Christian" Epidemic

Here's what grieves me most about modern Christianity:

A high percentage of Christians never come to this point.

They remain what I call "Meme Christians."

Their theology comes from Facebook posts.

Their doctrine comes from talk radio hosts.

Their spiritual warfare consists of sharing politically charged content and calling it ministry.

They know more about the latest cultural outrage than they do about the character of God.

They can quote Sean Hannity more accurately than they can quote Jesus.

And I've seen where this road ends.

It's worse than anything Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck ever described.

Because when your Christianity is built on political identity instead of biblical truth, you become exactly what the enemy wants:

A Christian who fights for temporal kingdoms while neglecting the eternal one.

Why God Gave Me This Platform

I've often wondered why God gave me this ministry.

I mean, I really appreciate my subscribers and readers. Your words of encouragement have been cool waters from a far country many times.

(And yes, I see the trolls who like to criticize in their pompous ways. Thanks to my wife and friends, we've caught and blocked most of them.)

But this new path the Lord is leading me down is probably the greatest task yet:

Exposing how the enemy is hijacking truth and weaponizing it to take out Christians and our country.

The devil doesn't need to destroy Christianity.

He just needs to redirect it toward political activism instead of spiritual transformation.

He just needs Christians to worship at the altar of conservatism instead of the throne of Christ.

He just needs believers to get so caught up in temporal battles that they forget the eternal war.

The Leviticus Warning

My wife encouraged me to finish my Leviticus study that I've taught at my local church and get it out to you.

It may be the single most important thing I've done yet on Biblical Man.

Because as I see history rhyming, I remember something crucial:

We know how this story ends.

God's people, given every advantage, every blessing, every opportunity to remain faithful.

And they chose political alliances over divine allegiance.

They chose cultural relevance over biblical obedience.

They chose to blend in with the nations instead of standing apart as holy.

Sound familiar?

The Pattern That Should Terrify You

Here's what Leviticus teaches that "Meme Christians" refuse to learn:

God doesn't just want your vote.

He wants your heart, your mind, your soul, your strength.

He doesn't just want you to oppose the culture.

He wants you to be transformed by His Word.

He doesn't just want you to share conservative content.

He wants you to share the Gospel.

The difference between political Christianity and biblical Christianity isn't just theological.

It's eternal.

The Church vs. The Movement

A real local church will do something political movements never can:

It will change you from the inside out.

It will teach you to love your enemies instead of just defeating them.

It will show you that the battle is spiritual, not just political.

It will remind you that your citizenship is in heaven, not Washington D.C.

It will anchor your hope in Christ's kingdom, not America's constitution.

Don't get me wrong - we should be good citizens, engaged in our culture, fighting for righteousness.

But when political engagement becomes spiritual identity, you've created an idol.

And idols always disappoint.

The Warning I Wish I'd Heard Earlier

If your Christianity can be summarized by your political positions, you're not a Christian.

You're a conservative who attends church.

If your spiritual growth is measured by your cultural awareness instead of your Christ-likeness, you're backsliding.

If your evangelism consists of political arguments instead of Gospel proclamation, you're preaching a different gospel.

The enemy loves Christians who are more passionate about politics than prayer.

He celebrates believers who study news more than scripture.

He applauds churches that produce activists instead of disciples.

The Path Forward

Find a church that preaches the Word.

Not a church that preaches politics with a Jesus chaser.

Not a church that's more concerned with cultural relevance than biblical fidelity.

A church that opens the Bible and teaches what it actually says.

Even when it's uncomfortable.

Even when it challenges your political assumptions.

Even when it calls you to transformation instead of just information.

Because here's the truth that talk radio will never tell you:

America needs Christians, not Christian conservatives.

The world needs disciples, not political activists with Jesus fish on their cars.

The Leviticus Study That Changes Everything

The study I'm finishing will expose exactly how the enemy uses truth as a weapon against God's people.

How he takes biblical concepts and twists them into cultural movements.

How he convinces Christians to fight the wrong battles while losing the real war.

This isn't just history.

It's prophecy.

And we're living it right now.

The question isn't whether you see the cultural decline.

The question is whether you understand the spiritual warfare behind it.

The question isn't whether you're fighting.

The question is whether you're fighting the right battle with the right weapons for the right kingdom.

The Uncomfortable Truth

Most Christians reading this will get offended and defensive.

They'll accuse me of being "woke" or "compromising" or "not caring about the culture."

They'll miss the entire point because their identity is so wrapped up in political positions that any challenge feels like spiritual attack.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

When political criticism feels like personal persecution, you've made politics your god.

When cultural analysis threatens your spiritual security, you've built on sand.

The church saved me from that trap.

Sound biblical teaching rescued me from talk radio theology.

Real community showed me what Christianity actually looks like.

Your Choice

You can keep being a "Meme Christian."

You can keep getting your theology from talk radio and your doctrine from Facebook.

You can keep fighting cultural battles while losing the spiritual war.

Or you can find a church that preaches the Word.

You can sit under sound biblical teaching.

You can let God transform you from the inside out.

The choice will determine not just your spiritual maturity.

It will determine your eternal impact.


Because Leviticus doesn't just diagnose the disease of compromised Christianity.

It prescribes the cure.

How to worship God without serving idols.

How to love your nation without making it your god.

How to be holy in an unholy world without becoming unholy yourself.

The book everyone skips contains the blueprint for avoiding the spiritual adultery that's destroying American Christianity.

The Christ Test

Here's how you know if you're following Jesus or Hitler's Jesus:

Does your Christianity make you love your enemies or hate them more?

Does your faith produce humility or tribal superiority?

Does your Jesus look more like the suffering servant or the conquering warlord?

Would the early church recognize your gospel, or would they call it heresy?

The Gospel according to Hitler is alive and well.

It just changed its accent from German to American.

It swapped swastikas for crosses.

It traded "Deutschland über alles" for "America First."

But it's the same demon wearing different makeup.

Choose This Day Which Christ You Serve

Every "Christian nationalist" reading this thinks they'd have resisted the Nazis.

You're already following their playbook.

Every "based" believer thinks they'd have joined the Confessing Church.

You're already compromising with the cultural church.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is about God's love for His enemies.

The Gospel of Christian nationalism is about God's hatred for your enemies.

These are not the same religion.

One leads to the cross.

The other leads to concentration camps.

The choice is still yours.

But choose quickly.

Because history is rhyming, and we know how this story ends.
