Church Leadership Archives - Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

We discuss Vaxseyne propaganda, tyranny, censorship, Christian pastors arrested in Canada, religious freedom, and the importance of understanding God’s Law and the doctrine of the lesser magistrates.

New from Adullam Films! The True Christian History of America

The government in America is lawless and in utter disarray. This documentary is of massive importance as it shows how Christianity influenced government for good. Such understanding is needed again in our day. 

Trewhella: I was interviewed for this documentary. It is excellent, well-done, and loaded with little-known history. You can view it for free on Prime.

Also, If you are looking for a Scriptural basis to denounce the masking and lock-downs etc. – this 20-page position paper by Pastor Forsell Gappa will enrich you greatly. All of the sections are thought-provoking and a treasure-trove including the section entitled “The Pandemic Has Exposed a Lack of Christianity.” The thoughts laid out in this paper repudiate the “Christian response” to the pandemic.

Today on Stand Up For The Truth, host David Fiorazo talks with Tony Gurule (Radical Truth) about the damage done by government response to COVID-19, religious freedom, the U.S. Constitution, Muslims, Ramadan, and the Gospel.

TODAY’S GUEST: Tony Gurule is the Vice President of Radical Truth, a 501C3 Christian ministry which focuses on proclaiming Truth, sharing the Gospel, and exposing Islam. Tony is a full-time missionary, speaker and trainer, and he is also the host of the Radical Truth TV show & podcast (DirecTV every Saturday night). Last but not least, Tony informs and equips adults and youth, especially in the areas of evangelism, apologetics, and Islam.

“The human cost of the emergency response to COVID-19 has far outweighed the benefits. That’s the sobering verdict of a trio of scholars—a biologist, a statistician, and a philosopher— in this comprehensive assessment of the worst panic-induced disaster in history.

As the media fanned the flames of panic, government officials and a new elite of scientific experts ignored the established protocols for mitigating a dangerous disease. Instead, they shut down the world economy, closed every school, confined citizens to their homes, and threatened to enforce a regime of extreme social distancing indefinitely.

And the American public—amazingly enough—complied without protest…”

A biblical worldview is a person’s total conception of the world from a biblical standpoint. It’s a Christian’s basic belief system about the meaning of life, the nature of God, the source of truth, and other foundational concepts. Yet, the worldview many Christians hold is not biblically consistent. They may approach some issues from a biblical viewpoint, but not every issue.

Today we discuss reasons why some Christians do not have a consistently biblical worldview, issues that believers are being forced to confront, the increasing compromise of American churches, and what ‘settled science’ really means.

“The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery, and they have oppressed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the stranger without justice. 30 I searched for a man among them who would build up a wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. 31 So I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; I have brought their way upon their heads,” declares the Lord God.” Ezekiel 22:27-31

We discuss the forgotten benefits or Interposition by Lesser Magistrates, misinterpreting Romans 13, masking image-bearers of God, and review The Doctrine of Lesser Magistrates. David concludes with a sobering look at ’12 ways to destroy a society.”

Legacy Church was fined $10,000 for holding a Christmas Eve service and not following New Mexico governor’s mandates; we discuss also the battle between Christians and government, unreasonable state restrictions on churches, obeying God or man, open censorship of American citizens by Big Tech and liberal media activists, and the responsibility of pastors to lead in these dark times.

“I knew that during this time, we needed to be the Church more than ever. Some people decided to slow down, but we decided to speed up. We didn’t want to let this (COVID-19) shut down, shut us down. We will never stop being the Church.” Pastor Steve Smothermon

“We are called to be pastors, not trend-setters.”

TODAY’S GUEST – Matt Trewhella is the pastor of Mercy Seat Christian Church in Milwaukee, WI, founder of the pro-life organization, Missionaries to the Preborn, and author of the book, The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate.

He is a graduate of Valley Forge Christian College, and his wife, Clara, have eleven children and nine grandchildren, and reside in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. His research and teaching on the lesser magistrate doctrine is reshaping the the thinking of Americans.

Today, Pastor Matt Trewhella and David Fiorazo discuss church leader’s response to COVID and the Christian’s responsibility when it comes to holding government accountable and confronting evil in society. Whatever happened to checks and balances and men of God speaking out against sins now being celebrated in America?

Her leaders within her are like wolves tearing the prey, by shedding blood and destroying lives in order to make dishonest profit. 28 And her prophets have coated with whitewash for them, seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘This is what the Lord God says,’ when the Lord has not spoken. 29 The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery, and they have oppressed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the stranger without justice. 30 I searched for a man among them who would build up a wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. 31 So I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; I have brought their way upon their heads,” declares the Lord God.

TODAY’S GUEST: Pastor Steve Smothermon, senior pastor of Legacy Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is also an author and speaker who believes in staying true to God’s Word and refusing to compromise or cater to culture. His church is now ministering in 4 campus locations and on local TV, focusing on delivering and applying the Word of God in practical, life-changing and unapologetic ways. He and his wife Cynthia have been married over 30 years, have 3 children, and 8 grand-kids.

We discuss the battle between churches and government over obeying God and religious freedom; blatant media bias and open censorship of American citizens by Big Tech, the role of pastors as military leaders rather than CEOs, and the ‘War on Christmas’ which is truly opposition to Jesus.

I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:1-4

The YouVersion Bible App’s most-read verse this year is Isaiah 41:10:

Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will also help you,
I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Discussing the state of religious freedom in America and enemies of Jesus Christ openly advancing their agendas, Pastor Dan Fisher (Fairview Baptist Church, Edmond, OK) recently preached about our God-given, unalienable rights, and the fact we are at war whether we realize it or not:

“A large portion of our country’s citizens want to turn our American Republic into something you are NOT going to like. Are you going to just stand by and allow it to happen? How many liberties are you willing to forfeit? I’m calling for a political separation, just as Thomas Jefferson did in the Declaration of Independence.”

How often have you heard a Christian pastor/bible teacher declare that Romans 13:1-5 requires Christians to submit to their governmental leaders – no matter what, and that they are sinning if they don’t?

Dan Fisher’s new book, “Unlimited Submission” is available now:

For years, spiritual leaders have been shackling believers with a flawed interpretation of Romans 13:1-5 – especially as to how it applies to citizens living in a republic like ours.

Consequently, Christian people who would normally stand against tyranny, believe that they owe slavish, unlimited submission to their government.

So, the American church stands by doing little to stop the wickedness that is allowed to flourish all around them. Is this what God intends?

We must find a biblically consistent answer to this question. Must we submit to a government that denies or conceals the truth?

Must we submit to a government that abuses the innocent or allows them to be abused? In Unlimited Submission?

Patriot Pastor Dan Fisher tackles this controversial topic and proves conclusively that Christians not only have the right, but the responsibility to stand up to tyrannical leaders – no matter the cost.
