There are only two preachers in America, worth listening too, the question is can you handle the Hard Truths they present any given Sunday?
The disillusionment with church has become a well documented fact. A Pew Research poll released back in 2015 states,
"...new survey of more than 35,000 Americans by the Pew Research Center finds that the percentage of adults (ages 18 and older) who describe themselves as Christians has dropped by nearly eight percentage points in just seven years, from 78.4% in an equally massive Pew Research survey in 2007 to 70.6% in 2014. Over the same period, the percentage of Americans who are religiously unaffiliated – describing themselves as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular” – has jumped more than six points, from 16.1% to 22.8%" (PewForum.org)
Right there we see an 8% drop in church attendance over 7 years. This statistic tells us that despite all of the effort churches make to attract attendance with loud music, children's parks, full social event calendars, and fluffy self-help sermons, people are increasingly finding little value in church altogether, and as a result are leaving in droves. The numbers simply don't lie, the American church is in serious decline, and in like fashion so is America itself.
Reality Check
So while the churches and pastors play games, the devilish architects of the New World Order have been busy filling that void with a new vision for humanity. A new religion called scientism has sprung up, one that is built on the fundamental idea that humanity is alone in the Universe, and accountable to nothing. The Neo-Marxist technocrats and priests of scientism have presented ideas, concepts, and philosophies that imagine a transhuman world without God, or even more as god. Ideas that have largely gone unchallenged by Christian circles.
Now the cult of scientism has become radicalized on the basis that religious people of all stripes are a obstacle to the formation of their grand vision of a One World Global Order. We have become their enemies by virtue of our faith in a higher-power. Atheists and agnostics who advocate scientism based ideals have ironically become religious zealots in their persecution of religious people, artifacts, and pursuits in America. Case in point just a few weeks ago the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed suit against Trump for loosening the restrictions against pastors to speak politics at the pulpit, the article reads,
"On Thursday the president issued an executive order directing the Treasury Department not to take "adverse action" against churches or religious organizations for political speech. He said he was giving churches their voices back.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation filed a lawsuit hours later. The Madison, Wisconsin-based group argues in the filing that the order is unconstitutional because it grants preferential treatment to religious organizations while secular groups must still abide by the law.
The group, known as FFRF, also argues that Trump lacks any power to overturn a legitimate law.
"As a result of President Trump's (order), churches and religious organizations will be able to blatantly and deliberately flaunt the electioneering restrictions ... including during the upcoming 2018 elections, unlike secular non-profits, including FFRF," the lawsuit states." (Chicago Tribune)
All this shows is the manifest bully mentality atheists have against religious people. Someone needs to tell the Freedom from Religion Foundation, that the church has become so irrelevant that by just doing what the churches are doing already successfully drives more and more people away than anything they could hope to achieve through threat of force and legal intimidation. The churches aren't going to exercise their freedoms of speech at the pulpits, they have self-silenced, and willfully chosen the path of least resistance a long time ago. The Trump order will be of no effect, the pulpits for the most part are already filled with mute cowards on every issue, including political issues. They are that way because that is what American Christians want to hear. Modern preaching has amounted to nothing more than spiritualized self-help lecturing, with a Biblical veneer that leaves people feeling good about themselves and nothing more. The modern church has done nothing to impede globalist pursuits or the increasingly wicked culture, and on top of that they are losing congregates. The reason being is A) they refuse to work within the church model that Christ gave us, and Paul established, preferring ear-tickling and entertainment and B) because they are cowards fearing the wrath of politicians, the IRS and their own snowflake congregations who find offense in everything.

No amount of skinny-jean rockers, cappuccinos, fluffy feel good preaching, and social events will bring these people back to the church. These people that left, see the church as being wholly irrelevant seeing they are incapable of addressing some of the most pertinent issues that face our country. The pastors can't answer the charges atheists throw at God, they can't provide any reasoned rebuttals against the sodomite agenda taking over America, they certainly have no response to the growing tyrannical police state and war state that has swallowed up the country. They are good for nothing and as Christ said, like salt they have been cast out and trodden under the foot of man.
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Matthew 5: 13
What America Needs Now
What America needs now is some good old fashion hard Bible preaching. Preaching that articulates the positions held in scripture without regard to government or men. Preaching that lays precepts upon precepts establishing the Truth of God in the face of the growing darkness of our culture.
Here is my personal recommendations to anyone ready and willing to hear extremely hard uncompromising preaching.
If you are disenchanted in any way with the modern church then I urge you to watch as many sermons as you can from these two pastors before you make the decision to bail on church and Christianity all-together. If you have a heart for Truth then you simply must listen to both Pastor Chuck Baldwin of Liberty Fellowship in Kalispell Montana, and also Pastor Steven Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist in Tempe Arizona. These two pastors are preaching exactly what Americans need to hear. Pastor Baldwin leans more towards addressing the political institutions, while Pastor Anderson leans towards addressing the roles of church and the family. They both have their own predilection but both are absolutely necessary, seeing that the average American has not heard teaching and preaching like this ever. They are addressing Biblical truths that used to be a staple of American preaching but have been lost on this generation due to the compromised churches that populate every street corner, in every city across America. These two men preach more substance, more Truth than the whole of American Christendom put together any given Sunday. Both these men I believe to be anointed preachers and are on the tip of the sphere when it comes to leading this country into a new revival era here in America. Both of these pastors are fully awake to the New World Order demonic conspiracy and both preach hard Biblical Truth. Once you start to hear sound Biblical preaching you will wonder what you did for so many years without it.
A Profile on Pastor Baldwin
I have a special affinity for Pastor Baldwin, seeing I attend his congregation in Kalispell, MT. My family and I moved 1000 miles to be a part of his congregation. Besides coming to Christ then marrying my wife, that move was the best choice I have ever made.
Pastor Baldwin has been preaching the gospel for over 40 years. He has written a column weekly for almost 20 years at ChuckBaldwinLive.com. He ran for President under the Constitution party back in 2008 after Ron Paul dropped out, and in 2010 moved up to Kalispell Montana to start what is now Liberty Fellowship. He has been featured on many radio shows, and documentary films including my own film Christ Alone. Every Sunday he demonstrates how God has given us both Natural Law of the heart, and also the Revealed Law of scripture. He is extremely good at demonstrating how scripture defines the proper roles of government, and how God has separated and limited the powers of government. He applies these truths found in scripture to all of the issues we face in the nation, and I have seen firsthand how uncompromising he is on Biblical issues. Many people simply can't handle the level of Truth he injects into his sermons on any given Sunday, his hard Biblical preaching drives more people out the doors on any given Sunday, but God is always good and is always providing and blessing the message he delivers. His audience is truly international in scope and is growing exponentially. He has been labeled a right-wing Christian radical by the SPLC for his controversial Biblical stances and teaching.
Issues he is outspoken on: the right of self-defense and the 2nd Amendment, the topic of Modern Israel, Unjust wars, on institutionalized churches and the 501c3 trap, the Constitution relative to Biblical principles and much more.

A Profile on Pastor Anderson
The first time I heard of Pastor Anderson was when he was beaten by border patrol agents in 2009 making national headlines. He is the pastor of Faithful Word Baptist in Tempe, Arizona and in my opinion is one of the hardest preachers in America. Even though he is considered to be highly controversial by the SPLC and other leftist groups he preaches directly from the Bible with clarity and Truth. He is not afraid to address any issue and wades into controversy at every opportunity. He is very good on issues dealing with the church, and the family. He is also very media savvy and has produced quite a few very popular films on Christian topics with filmmaker Paul Wittenberger I whole-heartedly recommend my readers to watch.
Issues he is outspoken on: He is excellent on the LGBTQ agenda, on internal family matters, on church discipline, on Modern Israel, on false-religions and doctrines and more. I also love how he aggressively mobilizes his church to go out door-to-door saving souls.

Conclusion
In summation you are welcome for introducing you to these two preachers. I guarantee if you have not heard of them or heard hard preaching in your life then you are in for an eye-opening ride. Most people who have attended church their whole lives have never heard preaching like this because most people have attended state sanctioned 501c3 churches their entire lives, something these two churches are not. They have declined to take on the non-profit tax free offerings of the IRS. This means they say what they want without fear of retribution from the government. The difference between these churches and the mainstream churches found all over the United States will be startling, but I encourage you to open your heart to the Truth of the Bible and this hard preaching.
If you can't handle what these two men talk about then you have a million options to go back too, but remember what Christ said about Lukewarm Churches in Revelation.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16
I believe many of these churches across America will find themselves rejected by God due to their failure to be radical in word and deed, bowing the knee to the wicked culture that has come to dominate American life. I write this article urging you to remove yourself from God's wrath and open your eyes and ears to some much need hard preaching that stands in opposition to the god of this world.
