At this point in history, we must all become missionaries and leave our walls. FGGAM is just about to turn 12 years young and going strong. We will continue until the LORD says no more…….
I feel like the lone wolf, as we said back in the day. This report does not surprise me. I see the downfall of the American Church as Sharon and I travel carrying out The Great Commission. We hear from many people that they do not go to Church anymore. Many state to us that they ‘get nothing out of Church’, the Pastor does not relate to their life. Other reasons are, the Church became to political, supporting corrupt politicians, the Church is all about money, sex abuse in Churches and on and on. Others will tell us that they worship God at home and watch their favorite Pastor on T.V.
Talking to people is a good education. I take it, and I pray about it. I then take action as the LORD directs me and Sharon here at FGGAM. I did this when I managed radio stations. I wanted to know why people listened to KKIM, and why they did not. It made me a better radio guy. It helped me to format the radio stations. I did this at all the stations I managed over my 42 years in full-time radio. People want to see you, to see if you are who you say you are. They want to know you really care about them. Do you?
People loved to see the radio station out and about! They wanted to see us radio guys taking part in community events. The problem with too much the Church in America as I have said for years and years, is that it is not carrying out The Great Commission. Most of the responsibility of the failure of the Church falls on Pastors and congregants. Look in the mirror, what do you see? I do not get it, The Great Commission is a COMMAND from JESUS, not a suggestion!
It is important for YOU to go out and share the love of JESUS with your community. It is so important to build bridges of love and trust with all! Let them see JESUS in you! Amen!
My mentor the late Pastor Don Kimbro told me years ago that the lack of baptisims and raising up mature Christians would catch up with us! It sure has! ITS UGLY! I have had so many elders teach me. Years ago the late, great Pastor Larry Moss said to me on my TV show, that the American Church was headed down the wrong road. I rely on my elders to help me through this world we live in. I LEARN! I THEN APPLY WHAT I LEARN FROM GOD AND MY ELDERS!
Too many Christians get on Facebook and say all sorts of snarky things! Who are they talking to?
Many have called for REVIVAL IN AMERICA, The CHURCH IN AMERICA NEEDS TO BE REVIVED FIRST AND FOREMOST! GLORY!
Look at what the Mormon Church has accomplished, they go door to door. Read on please…….
Two decades ago, an average of 42% of U.S. adults attended religious services every week or nearly every week. A decade ago, the figure fell to 38%, and it is currently at 30%. This decline is largely driven by the increase in the percentage of Americans with no religious affiliation — 9% in 2000-2003 versus 21% in 2021-2023 — almost all of whom do not attend services regularly.

Just 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview. Just 37% of Pastors in America have a Biblical Worldview! Do you not see the destruction of our country? The downfall of the Christian Church? Does your Pastor ever teach on the Ten Commandments? Basic Christianity? Does your Church carry out The Great Commission? How many baptisms has your Church officiated in the last two years? Is your Church ‘raising up’ mature Christians?
“People die every day without Christ, and we’ve got the answer. Don’t just talk about evangelism. Do it.”
–Dr. Stephen McQuoid
America needs JESUS! Are you carrying out the Great Commission daily in your community or do you work for the sit-more-do-little church? 3 Things You Can Do Today to Carry Out the Great Commission
Don’t just “play church.” Take action.
“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts” Eph 4: 17, 18.
The Scriptures call the mind of the natural man “blinded” 2 Cor. 4:4, “depraved” Romans 1:28, “corrupt” 1 Tim. 6:5, and “unspiritual” Col. 2:18. The natural mind thinks from a humanistic, sin-debased viewpoint. The viewpoint of the flesh directs its thoughts. The sinful mind is under the control of Satan and can never please God because it concentrates on things of the world and not things of the Spirit. The natural mind walks the road of hopelessness and self-destruction.
This past year was my hardest in ministry. I has to take off the month off in December because the deaths of many caused me such sadness. I officiated to many funerals of young people dying of violence. Sharon and I pray for all the families. Our hearts are broken. So many innocent people killed by gunfire. So many mommy’s and daddies are looking for justice. Try and put yourself in their shoes and see how it feels.
The following is from Focus on the Family:
A Biblical Worldview is based on the infallible Word of God. When you believe the Bible is entirely true, then you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do. That means, for instance, you take seriously the mandate in Romans 13 to honor the governing authorities by researching the candidates and issues, making voting a priority.
Do you have a biblical worldview? Answer the following questions, based on claims found in the Bible and which George Barna used in his survey:
- Do absolute moral truths exist?
- Is absolute truth defined by the Bible?
- Did Jesus Christ live a sinless life?
- Is God the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe, and does He still rule it today?
- Is salvation a gift from God that cannot be earned?
- Is Satan real?
- Does a Christian have a responsibility to share his or her faith in Christ with other people?
- Is the Bible accurate in all of its teachings?
Did you answer yes to these? Only 9 percent of “born- again” believers did. But what’s more important than your yes to these questions is whether your life shows it. Granted, we are all sinners and fall short, but most of our gut reactions will reflect what we deep-down, honest-to-goodness believe to be real and true.
