Eric Metaxas to James Robison: Let’s Learn From the Silence of the German Church Before the Holocaust

THIS WEEK FROM THE STREAM October 2, 2022

Eric Metaxas to James Robison: Let’s Learn From the Silence of the German Church Before the Holocaust The Stream September 30, 2022 “We have a lot of people who claim they have faith, and the Lord says, ‘Well, I see your fruit. I see your heart. If you believed that I defeated death on the cross, you would live differently.’” So says author and radio host Eric Metaxas, who recently joined Stream founder James Robison for an episode of LIFE Today. (And they’re giving Stream readers an exclusive early look at the show!) The two discussed Metaxas’s new book, Letter to the American Church, and how the silence of the Church in America today mirrors the silence of the German Church before the Holocaust. We need to learn from the German Church and begin to speak up against the evils in our culture today. “If not,” says Metaxas, “we are going down precisely the same path. And people say, ‘I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it.’ Trust me when I say that the Germans didn’t believe that that future was even possible. But it happened, and we are no different than the Germans.” Watch the Video...

Either the FBI is Guilty of an Unjustified, Terrorizing Assault on an American Family, or Else … We Can’t Trust It Tom Gilson September 28, 2022 It's over for the FBI. They've got their agents and their badges, their budget and their guns, but it's over anyway. I'm talking mostly about the part where they've made a motto out of their name: Fidelity, Bravery, and (especially) Integrity. Their alleged overuse of force in a raid on Mark Houck's home in Pennsylvania last Friday proves it. It proves it in spades if the family's allegations turn out to be true. I'll show you how it proves it in this case even if the family's claims are false. The feds came with a warrant to arrest Houck on charges of obstructing access to an abortion clinic. But he had already promised to appear in court voluntarily upon request. It gets worse: The offense he was alleged to have committed is normally handled by state and local jurisdictions, and Pennsylvania had already dropped the charges. But the FBI came anyway. The family's account is nothing short of terrifying. The feds showed up early in the morning, surrounding the house with at least 15 cars, including a SWAT team. They came pounding on the door, and by the end they had "about five guns" aimed straight at Houck. Continue Reading... America is Turning Fascist — In the NEGATIVE Sense John Zmirak September 26, 2022 The federal government is arresting the president’s critics, persecuting his rivals, raiding the private homes of harmless, unarmed citizens who oppose the president’s policies, and trying to imprison anyone who challenges his dubious election. This after our Leader went on television and called anyone who doesn’t support him a “semi-fascist” who “threatens democracy” in America. You’ve heard about Peter Navarro slapped in leg irons, Steve Bannon being perp-walked, Mike Lindell getting ambushed … Here’s the latest step in America morphing into a tinpot dictatorship: A vocal pro-life American and Catholic father of seven, Mark Houck, getting his home attacked by an army of heavily armed FBI agents in body armor. Continue Reading... Still All About Roe Jennifer Hartline September 26, 2022 The Democrat candidates’ playbook for the midterm elections has but one page, with one directive: Protect abortion at all costs. They are calling for “Roevember.” Roe as a ruling may have fallen, but now we will see just how devoted the servants of abortion are, as they shout from the rooftops how they will stop at nothing to “protect women’s rights” and “safeguard reproductive health care” and “ensure access to abortion for all women.” The decision facing each state in our union, and thus our nation, exposes exactly what sort of people we really are. If this opportunity to correct so grave an injustice is thrown away and instead, we double-down on the injustice, then we are a hopelessly depraved society. Continue Reading...
