Letter to the American Church: Faith Without Works is Dead - I
August 26, 2023
During World War II, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime wreaked havoc in Europe, which resulted in the loss of six million lives, while the German Church remained silent. Could that happen again? According to Eric Metaxas, the similarities in the actions of the Church during WWII are hauntingly similar to what is happening today in our society. On this edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and Eric discuss his book, Letter to the American Church, and the role of the American Body of Christ in the culture. If we are to keep history from repeating itself, we must stand and speak out against the modern-day evils or risk being guilty of helping those evils to thrive.
