## Resource

Is America’s moral decline primarily the result of an unfaithful church—or are Christians wrongly blaming the bride of Christ for the rebellion of an unbelieving culture? In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman sits down with Gabriel “The Waterboy” Rench of the FLF Network for an informal but direct debate over the church, the culture, national repentance, Christian responsibility, and the reign of Christ over every area of life. They discuss America’s Christian heritage, the role of the family, church, and civil government, whether the church has failed in its prophetic responsibility, and how Christians should think about cultural collapse without losing confidence in the victorious kingdom of Christ. This is a debate Christians need to have. Topics include: Church and culture America’s moral decline Christian nationalism National repentance The role of the civil magistrate The responsibility of the church The reign of Christ Postmillennial hope Family, church, and state The future of Christian America Featuring: Alex Kocman and Gabriel Rench From: Eschatology Matters / The World View Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here< For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<
