Politics are fickle. The problem is that politics are fickle and nobody remains in power forever. Because that is the case, politicians tend to amass as much money as they can before in a matter of time-they will be deposed from office, retire, or die. No human being rules in politics or business forever. This is where compromise and corruption infests and infects the godless leader's sole. When a person, especially a politician fails to seek God’s wisdom or listen to their pastor-no longer reads their Bible. It’s a matter of time before they become a fickle politician. And in time, that leads only to their becoming a depraved law maker or leader.Please hit that SUBSCRIBE Button as a free way to help support us.I want to invite you to join our community at www.StevenGarofalo.ComBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reason-for-truth--2774396/support.

What does it mean to minister? To minister to another is according to the dictionary says this: “To attend to the needs of (someone) "her doctor was busy ministering to the injured"A Better Question Is: “What is the biblical meaning of ministering BIBLICALLY-Ministering is learning of and attending to others' needs. It is doing the Lord's work. When we minister, we are representing Jesus Christ and acting as His agents to watch over, lift, and strengthen those around us.Please SUBSCRIBEWe Invite You To Our Community: www.StevenGarofalo.ComBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reason-for-truth--2774396/support.

With the United States and world at a moral cross roads, today, we are looking back to an interview from 2015 whereby Steven was interviewed regarding "Religious Freedom". This is not a critique of any specific issues-but is a look back almost ten years (a full decade) to see where we came from. WHY? Becuase heading into 2026 we can look back to see where we are going. Again, the issue is not a critique on sexual orientation, but about religious freedom. People are people-and all people are sinners. Let's make sure to be compassionate with non-Christians in an effort to reach them for Christ while standing without compromise on the orthodox Word of God. Is that difficult.

We live in a broken world filled with broken people. In truth, all sinners are broken in one way or another-some more and some less. The truth and good news is that God can only use a broken person because they have “been there” and have “empathy” for the lost and broken world. In Matthew 18, Jesus gives us a blueprint for what and how to live as Christian in a broken world. Let’s get started.

Christians were given another chance live in a free country advance the Christian faith in America and around the world. It’s a matter of perspective-God’s perspective. And we ought to adopt God’s perspective. If the past four years has taught us anything, it’s that Christians are not accustomed to adversity, and that needs to change, because while good times are here today, there is always tomorrow. In America, we are not accustomed to “bad times” eluding to a country where Christians are persecuted on a serious level. I find it amazing that God has blessed us repeatedly despite our moral decline and slow abandonment of Him. We now have the opportunity to make an impact for Christ in America and the world.Please SUBSCRIBE-Like & Share with othersGet Equipped! www.EQUIPPEDACADEMY.COMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reason-for-truth--2774396/support.

Though the Christian church in India goes back to the time of St. Thomas the Apostle, church growth in India has been slow until now. India is predominately Hindu (74%), with some Muslims (20%) The truly exciting thing is that the percentage of Christians has increased substantially from 2.5% a decade ago to about 5.8% today. That represents a huge increase in the growth rate. Something is happening! Missiologist and church growth expert C. Peter Wagner has been receiving reports that the percentage may actually be 25% Christian — at least in parts of this large country — most of the growth coming in the past 10 to 15 years. And the growth may not all be in traditional churches. A substantial part may come from Jesus-follower groups within the Hindu culture. Today, we are going to look at what God is doing in India!Please SUBSCRIBE!Join Our Community at: www.StevenGarofalo.ComBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reason-for-truth--2774396/support.

Are Christians biblically commanded to ALWAYS DO EVERYTHING the government tells them to do? What about when going to war? I am not confusing the WW2 time period with today. These are two different times in history, two different generations, which very different moral values. That being said, the principle of biblical moral grounds for obeying government is just the same. It seems that World War II was the last war that I see as definitively morally justified to warrant war. War leads to death and destruction on all sides in order to squelch evil. Today, I am going to show you that for the most part, we are to follow the government, but the Bible is clear that we are to avoid EXTREME PATRIOTISM as well. What is "Extreme Patriotism"? In light of Romans 13:1 as a primary verse which says, "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgement." (There is also Romans 13:3-13:5 which speak further to the issue.)But, there is more to God's position on the ethics and morality of listening to government when we look at the Bible. For example, just because a government (often an immoral or biblically immorally run government) commands (Christians to) war, doesn't mean the that war is justifiable biblically. As such, we as individual Christians act rightly/biblically when we critically analyze the WHY behind THAT we are to go to war. After all, war entails death, destruction, injury and mental scars that last a lifetime. As such, we are called to analyze government mandates with a biblical worldview and act rightly in light of what God says. And if a godless government asks Christians to fight a biblically immoral war and kill or harm other human beings, we are called as Christians to analyze that war and our level of involvement in military service. This is a touchy subject and I am VERY patriotic. That said, I serve God before I serve any government or human leader(s). I pray this episode brings more clarity than it does emotion.

God’s people are called to practice “HOSPITALITY”, for at any time we may be entertaining angels. We are going to address that subject in PART2. For today, on the flip side, I want to define wise generosity-meaning how are we as Christians to give? I have seen my fair share of Christians abuse this verse and other parts of God’s Word by selfishly taking from other Christians when they are not in need-failing to give back in return (when they are fully able), saying not to expect anything in return. So which is true?

I’m young enough to understand today’s culture but old enough to remember a day when men and women of godly character were elevated as role models. Today, I am going to make the simple case that a core factor in America’s decline is found in the lack of faithful Christian Role Models. What I mean by faithful role model is not today’s famous speakers who failed and rose from the ashes, but those who consistently lived a faithful life to God, wife, husband, children and community as opposed to those who did wrong and were elevated to a popular platform based on those failures.
