{ "item_title" : "Pastors, Politics & Paranoia", "item_author" : [" Joel Rissinger "], "item_description" : "For decades, many pastors have lived with fear Every time they preach, teach, or write for public consumption; they run the risk of being labeled as too political, too right wing, or worse. Some would be called Christian Nationalists if they address topics like abortion, same-sex relationships, transgenderism, immigration, fiscal responsibility, our relationship to government, and many similar issues which are hot topics in the cultural and political realm.This fear has been fanned into flame by some pastors who claim they simply proclaim the gospel and avoid politics by remaining silent on these moral topics. This assumes that the gospel is nothing more than a 30-second soundbite about the death and resurrection of Jesus, with NO mention of the things He taught. Millions of Christians have thus been left in the doctrinal dark such that they have voted for and supported leaders who enact legislation to facilitate:Abortion on demand at all stages of pregnancy.Socialism and Atheistic Communist PolicyOpen borders and illegal immigration which often endangers the innocent.Transgender education and ideation for elementary school children.Men being allowed to walk naked into women's locker rooms and showers.Biological men competing in women's sports, at times endangering women in the process.And more.... In this groundbreaking work, Pastor Joel Rissinger looks at the lies behind the fear which produces silence from the one organization equipped to address these issues with authority and love-the Church of Jesus Christ After addressing these false premises, Pastor Joel looks at the fruit produced by many false teachings enabled by the church's abdication of her role. He also provides several positive, loving, biblical approaches to addressing these things-truly speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/95/735/189/1957351896_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "12.99", "online_price" : "12.99", "our_price" : "12.99", "club_price" : "12.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
