The picture is a screencap from yesterday's sermon. I want to connect some dotsโ
My train of thought began last week when I saw a survey about the difficulty of finding a good local church. Only 7% of North Americans have a biblical worldviewโwhich means there are a ton of churches out there that Don't have a biblical worldview, or if that view is in their mission statement, then they've stopped talking about it. 'The sheep' don't have a balanced diet; they lack access to the whole counsel of God at their church and are left to seek it elsewhere.

Why is it so hard to find a based fellowship these days? (And I'm NOT referring to obvious anti-bible teaching that pressures congregants to "accept" criminal unbelievers and sexual perversions performed on children. I'm talking about churches that self-censor and remain silent on knotty topics.)
As the picture shows, yesterday's sermon addressed "Sorcery," a knotty topic that needs the light of Truth shone upon it.
Sorcery is one of those "biblical issues" that (twenty years ago) I found myself having to go research outside any local church help. It was taboo to discuss it! Sorcery gets labeled as "evil" and then is rarely addressed further from our pulpits. Consequently, many church-attenders have No Idea how deeply it has infested our politicians, bureaucrats, and judges.
The AI-bot estimates we currently have 1.5 million people in the U.S. who identify as wiccan, pagan, or participate in satan worship. The Pastor's research (42:10 if you watch) found that 1-in-5 people in America have consulted with psychics or fortunetellers, a multi-Billion dollar business. The number of sorcerers is probably MUCH higher because of O'Biden's Welcome Mat policy. The MS-13 gang follows satan, and many imported from Haiti brought their Voodoo with them. Sorcery is one of the theaters in the Spiritual War that rages against Believers.
It has been pretty easy for Believers to live in a cocoon, even when demons were manifesting in plain sight on the evening news (yes, Biden's "whispering" was an unclean spirit). I find it reassuring to know that others are courageous enough to tell the truth about uncomfortable subjects. America has many "influencers" in high government places who are involved in the dark arts, and they have dark powers helping to conceal them. If you don't have a fellowship that teaches the biblical position, or if you are an FCC member who missed the May 18th Sunday sermon, go take a listen.
