As many of you know I host a daily podcast. I have been doing it every morning at 7 am EST for over seven years. My audience isn’t large by today’s standards, but IS thought provoking. Especially if you are interested in learning the TRUTH.
The show is interactive, meaning it has audience participation. The listeners can ask questions, make statements, opine, and vent. I never claimed to be an expert on Christianity and the culture, but I like to tell the viewers that I can read and I can think.
The show is not sycophantic…meaning everyone’s opinion counts. The host (me) is not some 6 foot icicle who stands in a pulpit and tells the “congregation” what the Bible says. We daily throw a piece of meat on the table and ALL of us chew over it. The Bible tells us that “in the multitude of many counselors is great wisdom.” At www.CoachDaveLive.com YOUR two cents is worth two cents.
Throw your theological position/opinion on the table and let’s have at it. Of course we have disagreements, but at the end of the hour we are all still friends and we all have heard a different perspective on the times in which we live and what our FAITH requires us to do. Yet each one BELIEVES that they are teaching the TRUTH.
I am old enough to remember when President Ronald Reagan coined the phrase TRUST BUT VERIFY when dealing with the Soviet Union and their Communist leaders. On our daily show we try to use the same process. Most Christians have been members of the same denomination for their entire life. Perhaps the mantra would be. “My pastor says it. I believe it. And that settles it.”
But does it? How do you know if what the pastor is telling you is the Truth? You could simply walk across the street to another church and hear a different version of the Truth. Which pastor and which denomination actually has a corner on the Truth?
We have a rule that we try to follow at Coach Dave Live. When someone makes a comment regarding what the Bible says we simply ask a question of the speaker.
“Who told you that and why do you believe him/her?”
Often their response is shallow and unconvincing. How do you know what the man in the pulpit is telling you is the Truth?
Where is Ronald Reagan when we need him?
My friends, so much of what they are telling us today simply is not the Truth. Religion, like lifestyle is often passed down from generation to generation Read Psalm 78. It speaks to religious tradition. Some traditions are good…others, not so much.
So let me switch gears on you a second. If it is true, and it is, that most denominations are based solely on religious traditions of the denomination in which the adherents were raised, how much more have we been brainwashed regarding the history of America and the “democracy” that we are supposedly trying to protect? (BTW…we are a REPUBLIC not a DEMOCRACY.) Why do our elected officials repeatedly speak about our “democracy”? Do they not know better?
Let me try to tie this whole thing together. As I watched the election results last night I was reminded again of just how gullible the American public has become. Twenty-four years after Muslims (so they tell us) attacked New York, the Big Apple swallowed the Big Lie and elected a Muslim mayor.
Pardon me…but how in the hell does that happen? What are they teaching in America’s publik screwels? Perhaps we should begin to ask ourselves how America got so off course. Remember the questions? Who told you that and why should we believe them?
“Diversity is our greatest strength.…who are you to judge…Jesus loves everybody…I’m from the Government and I am here to help…Oswald killed Kennedy…Airplanes brought down the towers…I was born this way…take the jab…wear a mask…we evolved from apes…pre-born children are not people…I never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky…WMD’s…don’t mix religion and politics…Tyler killed Charlie Kirk…Biden is sharp…our elections are honest…J6ers killed the police…everybody goes to Heaven...tel-lie-vision
Our nation is submerged in lies. Truth –telling is a thing of the past. Honesty has gone with the wind…deception has replaced honesty as a virtue. The best liars get promoted.
New York elected a 34 year old Muslim as mayor…as Forrest Gump famously said, STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.
The average American is gullible and stupid…and they vote to spend more money on Government screwels, illegals, and government hand-outs.
“I went to public school and I turned out ok!”
Oh Yeah? Says who?
