From Dale Chamberlain From ChurchLeaders:
On Tuesday, April 5, former president Donald Trump entered the Manhattan District Attorney’s office to plead not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, making him the first former president in United States history to be placed under arrest and charged with a crime.
As Christian leaders continue to react to this historic news, responses from Trump supporters have been impassioned, with some, including congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, going as far as to compare Trump’s indictment to the arrest and crucifixion of Christ. Others have rallied to pray for the president. More Here
From The Christian Post:
New research reveals that a majority of pastors thinking about stepping away from ministry are concerned that Christians identify more with their political views than their faith, one of several factors causing church leaders to consider leaving their professions.
Officials from the Barna Research Group held a webinar Wednesday outlining two trends that reshaped ministry in 2022. One of the trends that reshaped ministry, based on research conducted by Barna, found that “many pastors are struggling, but a majority are staying the course. More Here
FGGAM STATEMENT OF FAITH:
God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life.
as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
From Pastor Dewey Moede:
I understand that only 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview, and just 37% of Pastors have a Biblical Worldview in America. So we are bucking the wave of non-believers here at FGGAM. The Ten Commandments are basic Christianity! I beleive the failure of the America Church comes down to not teaching the basics. So many have fallen in love with entertaining. Remember! Biblical Education without action is entertainment. How are you and your Church doing in carrying out The Great Commission? How many baptisims thus far here in 2023?
Barna research defines a Biblical Worldview this way: A biblical worldview was defined as believing that absolute moral truths exist; that such truth is defined by the Bible; and firm belief in six specific religious views. Those views were that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life; God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe and He stills rules it today; salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned; Satan is real; a Christian has a responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people; and the Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.
