Restoring the Soul of American Christianity
Restoring the Soul of American Christianity
By: Pastor Andrew Isker
We are in a time of great spiritual awakening. I cannot tell you how many conversations I have had with young men, many of whom have little or no background in church, who realize how spiritually sick our world is. As a pastor, usually my first advice would be to “find a good church.” But in our day, such advice is much easier said than done. The great sickness of our world is also reflected in the dearth of good churches.
This is not something that happened overnight. America was founded as a Christian nation with various Protestant traditions. It has always been a majority Protestant nation. But the decline of American Protestantism has been something centuries in the making. The destruction was two-fold. The mainline churches, the Episcopal church, the Methodist church, the Presbyterian church, etc. began to be overtaken by modern theological liberalism in the 19th Century.
Unbelief creeped in through the great universities and seminaries that trained the intellectual class of Christian leaders. Over time, the great churches that were the spiritual foundation of this country rotted away. Belief in the virgin birth, the miracles of Christ, even Christ’s divinity was renounced. Faith in the Bible as the inerrant Word of God was rejected, and soon mainline Protestantism was merely a society for secular moralism and not the guardians of the faith once delivered to the saints.
At nearly the same time, Christianity began to be democratized among the growing population of settlers spread out across the new American frontier. Revivalist preachers, like Charles G. Finney, began to hold large tent meetings where he would stir up his listeners into a religious frenzy. The revivalists maintained the aspects of the faith that the mainline had begun to reject, but their methodology was to provide an entertaining and highly emotionalized medium to convey the faith.
A dichotomy began to emerge between respectable, high-status, elite, mainline Christianity which rejected the faith, and revivalist Christianity that remained nominally orthodox but packaged it in a highly consumable, emotionally manipulative entertainment. After nearly 200 years, that dichotomy still largely remains operative in American Christianity. This results in your options being churches with lesbian pastors who don’t believe in the Bible at all or a pastor who actually does believe in the Bible but is much more concerned with the fit of his skinny jeans, how the rock band sounds, and if the laser light fog machine is impressive enough.
Unfortunately, most churches in America today are plotted out somewhere on this spectrum. To find a church that actually believes the Bible, is not an inch deep and mile wide, and is not concerned with marketing itself as premium religious entertainment is quite a task. But thankfully there are a growing number of churches doing just this. There are more churches in America today who take as their primary mission to teach the Word of God and worship Him in a faithful, reverent way than there have been in over a century. Admittedly, this is an extremely low bar. But it is a case for great optimism.
But what does that look like? What have Protestant and evangelical churches begun to recover that has been lost after nearly two centuries of Second Great Awakening revivalism and mainline apostasy?
What the church is actually about. Rather than rejecting the faith, they are pursuing what the Bible and Christian tradition has always taught the church is. The church is the people of God. It is literally the ecclesia, the ruling assembly of the new polis (city-state) of Jesus Christ within the cities of this world (Matt. 18:15-20). It’s worship is where the people of God gather in a new Eden, a new temple (Eph. 2:19-22), to go before the very presence of God and worship Him and receive blessings from His hand.
The church is not a social club for nice, friendly people to hang out. It is a people united to the King of the world, the true global Emperor. And it is a people who rule with him (Rom. 8:16-17, Eph. 3:6, Ja. 2:5, Rev. 20:4-6). When Christians gather together to worship the Lord, they are gathering before the Imperator of the world, praising Him, receiving grace from His hand, offering themselves as living sacrifices to Him, and making pleas to Him to rule through their prayers. That is what worship is.
This is the radical transformation that the Bible presents — the Old Creation in the Old Covenant is being taken apart and remade into a New Creation in the New Covenant. That is what the New Testament is about. The Son of Man, the Son of God who has taken on human flesh bears God’s wrath and dies, is vindicated in the Resurrection, and ascends to reign over heaven and earth.
In Him, man for the first time goes before the very throne of God in the highest heaven, and the Spirit of God is poured out upon men and they begin to turn the world upside down. The Old Creation was torn apart over the 40 years that the New Testament was written as the New Creation invaded the world. This is what the apocalyptic symbolism of Matthew 24 and the Book of Revelation is about. That old world was destroyed. The Old Creation that was ruled by angels gives way to a world ruled by men—by the Son of Man and those united to Him.
That is the world we now live in. So it should come as no shock that if the church rules the world in Christ, and the church is in a totally miserable state, that the world around it would reflect that. Judgment begins at the house of the God (1 Pet. 4:17). Rather than being the leaders of the world, the church has mired herself in following the world, whether by making the Christian faith tepid with cheap entertainment or by outright apostasy. But a church that recognizes her role, which sees the great honor in being heirs of the world with its emperor, that worships Him in dignified reverence and awe, and that is willing to shed her blood in the same way as her Lord, that is a church prepared for maturity in Christ—a church prepared to rule the world.
So many Christians across America have recognized that the hour is late. There is no time for fat lesbians to give us Chicken Soup for the Soul (DEI edition) or for TED talks with a rock concert attached. The time has come for mature Christian faith—historic Christian faith—that is totally unashamed of everything the Bible teaches. Christians in America are on the verge of very great suffering for their faith and indeed many already have. We need churches to reject the spirit of the age, including the spirit of religious consumerism. Many have already begun to. This new reformation must continue and a new Christendom born.
It is difficult to find such churches, but it is not impossible. At the risk of promoting the rootlessness pervasive throughout our culture, I will say you might have to move to find one. If you do, you must go there for the long haul and plant your roots deep. We are in an age where the very most important thing is having a community of people who are willing to protect one another.
My advice to young men is still to find a church, but it must be a good one. It must be one that feeds you meat and not milk, especially not the sour milk we are flooded with. It does not take a prophet to see that the days ahead are going to be hard and difficult. You need to find a church that recognizes that it is part of an army of saints poised to conquer the world. And it is a conquest that will come as the church has always conquered: by God’s people building, sacrificing, and overcoming for His glory.
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. Find a people ready and willing to be that seed.

The Meaninglessness of Modern Life
The Meaninglessness of Modern Life
By: Pastor Andrew Isker
Modern life is meaningless. Our young people believe they have no other purpose on this earth other than to seek pleasure and entertain away their boredom. Tens of millions in our country live this way. Is it any wonder that we have never been more anxious, depressed, and suicidal?
Like many in the Millennial Generation, I went to college and enjoyed four years of few responsibilities and seemingly endless opportunities for fun with friends. Your first taste of life as an adult is pleasure island. You are young with unlimited free time and can do whatever you want. Even if you are a Christian and you avoid the bacchanal of drunkenness, drugs, and fornication, you still become accustomed to a slightly more wholesome dissipate lifestyle. You assume this is what adult life is. For many in my generation, you leave college and continue to chase that same high. You find a job—if you are lucky—and have less free time. You are separated from most of your college friends. But you become desperate to relive those glory days, even if only Friday night through Sunday.
For many, if not most in my generation, that is the “good life” you are programmed to pursue. You exist merely to maximize your own pleasure. You exist to work enough to be entertained. To produce enough so that you might consume. But as sand slowly drains from the hourglass and your youth slowly escapes you, at some point you begin to feel an existential dread. Deep down, in your bones, you know you were not made for this. This is not enough. There is something missing. Even recapturing the highs of college and taking a trip to Vegas with the boys doesn’t hit the same. The high wears off and the hangover sets in and never goes away.
Such is the experience of so many in my generation. It will be the experience of the generation to follow, as well. The days of our youth, when all our ancestors formed families and built with a mind to the future, are wasted by us. Looking at fertility statistics, nearly half of American women under 45 are childless. This portends a time to come when a majority of people are totally alone, with no stake whatsoever in the future. A people who will die alone and who will have devoted their life to nothing but conspicuous consumption.
This is how civilizations die. Sometimes they are overthrown in cataclysmic warfare and conquest. More often, they lose the will to live and die of demographic suicide. You cannot really blame this generation any more than you can blame the Boomers for the conditions they were born into and shaped by. And look at what this generation was formed by. They were born just after the median standard of living peaked in America. Everyone assumed the good times would continue on indefinitely and the next generation would simply inherit it. We came of age where everyone was living as if the good times were still here, but the fact that they were gone and never coming back was something that escaped everyone.
At the same time, all the things that give life meaning were taken from us and in many cases vilified. We grew up being taught that pride in your heritage as an American is the very grave sin of “ethnocentrism” and very near kin of the unforgivable sin of racism. Implicit in this idea is that it is good for America to simply die off and be replaced by random human beings from across the globe. Whether you were on the far left or a conservative evangelical, you were brought up believing the world is soon going to end, either from Global Warming or the Rapture, respectively. Why would you want to bring children into a doomed world to suffer?
A very brief blip of reinvigorated patriotism after 9/11 was quickly spent on trillion-dollar, decades-long, aimless occupations of third-world countries in the Middle East. The very same people singing along to Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” would, less than two decades later, be calling America “the most racist country in the world.” Why would you want to create new Americans if that were the case? Any vital spirit, any pride in people or place was systematically removed. The energy that previous generations would devote to producing subsequent generations has been spent on satisfying our fleeting desires.
It may seem like our civilization is doomed. It might seem like we are never coming back. In many ways this is true. The old America is gone. It has no will to survive. This does not mean, however, that Americans will disappear. What instead is taking place is a great bifurcation. Those who still retain the will and energy and desire to see their nation be preserved, to have it continue on to the next generation are consciously separating themselves from the old world.
These are young people who love their country, love their people, love their place, and love their heritage. These are young people who have seen the worthlessness of living for nothing except to consume and be entertained. Young people who realize what I call “Trashworld” must be totally despised. Young people who recognize that their lives are about so much more than going to nice bars and restaurants with friends week after week. Young people who have rejected the path of least resistance offered to them and instead chosen the way of life our ancestors pursued. A life of dedication and duty. A life of honor. A life that produces life. They have instead sought out a life that rejects our world’s banishment of the transcendent and looked to the heavens to pursue the glory of God. No longer is the meaningless of modern life acceptable to them. They seek out what the Lord has created them to be.
There yet remains a vanguard of those who carry forth the torch of civilization. The events of the past few years have caused many of them to reorganize and reorient their lives around building communities that will survive what is to come. Just as ancient Christians lived in a polis—city—inside the polis, so too must we today. And not just communities of Christians generally, including those enamored with Trashworld, but those who see the time of day. God has orchestrated events such that we are forced into doing so. No longer can we remain comfortable and complacent like those who love the world of filth.
No, instead we must become like the Pilgrims who first settled in America. But unlike them, there is no wilderness of the New World to settle. We must re-found our nation even as the decaying one has not yet fully surrendered to ruin. This mission is the antidote to modern ennui. The mission of Christians is to rebuild what we have lost and carry forward the inheritance we have been given—a mission to build a Parallel Christian Society. Far from despairing at the death of the nation we love, we can devote ourselves to rebuilding it anew. And while the lovers of Trashworld breathe their last gasps alone and terrified with nothing but faded memories of brunch, we will go to glory surrounded by our children’s children who will take up the mantle of building a new Christendom after we have gone. That is a vision of the good life. That is the vision of a life well spent. And that is what we must pursue.
City of Santuary UK - The Nationwide Network For Illegal Immigrants
City of Santuary UK - The Nationwide Network For Illegal Immigrants
Most illegal immigrants choose the route via Greece, they know that it's the easiest and cheapest route and that they'll also have 'IsraAid' waiting there for them to supply them with food, clothing, cash and directions on how to reach Britain.
As shown in this video: https://link.gy/169ba
These illegal immigrants travel all the way through Europe, desperate to reach Britain, ever wondered why that's the case? The reason is 'City of Santuary UK'. This organisation registered as a charity in 2005 and was created in the city of Sheffield in Yorkshire by Craig Barnett and his organisation is now enormous.
How big? This big: https://data.cityofsanctuary.org/groups/list
The illegal immigrants know that thanks to this nationwide organisation operating in Britain each and everyone of them is guaranteed the best free housing, free gas and electricity, free food, free travel, free amenities, (everything from sporting facilities, gardening allotments, maternity facilities), as soon as they step off the boat. They literally have their own nationwide network in Britain.
Things such as this: https://cityofsanctuary.org/
And this: https://gardens.cityofsanctuary.org/resources
And this: https://maternity.cityofsanctuary.org/service-award
Now you know why they come to Britain across the channel at a rate of 1,000 per day, (and that's only the ones we know about). Everything is literally handed to them on a plate. They also know that they have 24 hour-a-day political and police protection from any reprisals from our indigenous population.
We're being replaced, Mr. and Mrs. White, the people who are hellbent on replacing us are the central bankers, they refer to this as their 'Kalergi Plan':
