So the churches will end up with empty pews and lots of government silver. That will work in this life and they don’t seem to care about the next.
For years the govt has been using a simple tactic on the American public.
Divide and conquer.
Race bating is the biggie, then the class and gender warfare, gay rights, immigration , ad nauseum.
Until “we the sheeple” wake up and realize that govt is not the answer to the problem, then the govt will continue to legisate their way to a toalitarian state. Folks we are not far from it!

Churches have gotten away from Sunday School, memorization of the Word, no “power in the Blood of the Lamb” songs, no Sunday evening or Wednesday evening services, a blind eye to missions (other countries are sending missionaries to the US now. . it is that bad), no Revelation sermons or Bible Study, no standing up for Biblical truths, no outreach to the unsaved . . . and instead are going along to get along.
Revelation 3:16 (To the Laodicean Church)
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
