I grew up listening to Sproul's Dust to Glory on VHS. He was always the gracious middle ground in opposing Zionism and knew the subversive element of Dispensationalism but still had friends like MacArthur. Now there's basically no one like him, that generation is now gone and we are much like children playing church sometimes it feels like.

Stuff like Solzhenitsyn's last book, I think when it comes in print next year (after being banned from print for 20) it's going to send shock waves throughout the church because of quotes like these, and I don't think the church is ready:

On why they push for immigration in US/Europe: https://files.catbox.moe/pti3tl.jpg

Communist issues that were largely hidden from Americans: https://files.catbox.moe/khk98o.jpg

All in all, while I do think we must start warning the dire situation we are in, I always look to Sproul to be gracious about it and pray for everyone's conversion to Christ, as lately I look at myself and I feel like the worst person on this planet. I don't want to hate any group of people, my own sin is worse than everyone's looking back, all I am is sin. I wish everyone saw this middleground, many of us who believe we are in serious danger, but this isn't coming from a place of blind hatred.

"The Israel of God is Jesus Christ and all those who are united to Him by faith alone. Faith in Christ, then, is what makes a person a member of the Israel of God, not mere ethnic descent. Paul confirms this elsewhere in Galatians 6:16, where he calls the Galatian church—made up predominantly of gentiles who believed in Jesus—as “the Israel of God. Blessing the Israel of God, therefore, does not mean supporting every policy of the modern nation-state of Israel. God will bless those who bless His people, the church."

"As a Jewish convert to Orthodox Christianity with a fairly wide set of historical books under my belt, it troubles me to see some hierarchs and channels following the world's narrative about "anti-Semitism" and all the things that have been done to "combat anti-Semitism." I'll tell you directly, as a 100% pure blooded Ashkenazi man, how to fix "anti-Semitism:" Anti-Semitism will end when faithless Jews leave other groups of people alone and stop trying to transform their nations and cultures in ways that invariably harm the populations in question. It is really not that complicated.”

– Brother Augustine (Michael Witcoff)
