Pastor Stephen Broden: God and Country 2012

Cahnman's Musings got to see Pastor Broden speak earlier today; the video from that event isn't online yet, so, for now, enjoy this speech he gave last year:



Highlights:

• The seeding ground for what we face today took place in the 18th and 19th centuries.

• "America is like a healthy body, it's resistence is three-fold: it's patirotism, its morality, and its spiritual life; if we can undermine these three things, America will collapse from within." Joseph Stalin

• God keeps bringing back 'social' issues; we won't fix the economy until we get 'social' issues right.

• Banhoeffer was speaking to the Church.

• You can't speak of American exceptionalism outside of our Judeo-Christian heritage; American exceptionalism is a result of our Judeo-Christian heritage.
