On Super Bowl Sunday, February 11, tens of thousands of “churches” all over America shortened services, canceled services altogether or turned their worship services into mock Super Bowl miniatures.

Walk into thousands of pastors’ offices or studies across our country, and you will witness a museum (or altar) dedicated to their favorite football team. Jerseys, sweatshirts, helmets, banners, flags, mascots big and small, pictures of coaches and players, logos on coffee mugs, pens, hats, scarves and anything and everything that has space for their team’s trademark. You’ll quickly ascertain that hundreds or even thousands of dollars have been spent by these “pastors” for all of the football paraphernalia that occupy space in their “studies.” One can only imagine what their homes look like.

I tell you the truth: We don’t have New Testament Christianity in America today; we have Super Bowl Churchianity.

The entire Western world is collapsing before our very eyes. Climate change superstition has taken Germany, once known as one of the greatest industrial, inventive, ingenious nations on earth, to the precipice of a return to the Middle Ages.

Bloomberg recently foretold the end of Germany’s days as an industrial power in an article that begins with a depiction of the closing of a factory in Dusseldorf. Stone-faced workers preside with funereal solemnity over the final act – the fashioning of a steel pipe at a rolling mill – at the century-old plant. The “flickering of flares and torches” and “somber tones of a lone horn player” lend the scene a decidedly medieval atmosphere.

Intentional or not in their inclusion of such evocative detail, the Bloomberg writers offer potent imagery for Germany – not only because the country is regressing economically but because its elites are increasingly guided by an atavistic force: the abandonment of reason.

As hard economic realities lay bare the futility of its utopian energy plan and the consequences of numerous terrible decisions mount, Germany is experiencing what Swedish essayist Malcom Kyeyune calls “narrative collapse.” The peculiar offspring of this, Kyeyune argues, is a turn toward ritual, superstition, and taboo. It is a malaise afflicting the entire West, but Germany is suffering a particularly acute case.

I strongly urge you to read the entire article that I just quoted. It is a very intelligent, astute and accurate assessment of where the entire Western world is heading—with Germany leading the way.

NATO countries, with few exceptions, have seriously failing economies; unbridled immigration from third-world countries has created skyrocketing crime rates; an alarming number of their young people are incapacitated or dead due to the lethal injections of the Covid shots (another superstition); their stupid proxy war in Ukraine has almost depleted their own defensive capabilities and the spiritual and moral fabric of their societies is almost nonexistent.

The United States has a demented demoniac president and commander in chief sitting in the White House. Republicans (including Christians) treat Donald Trump—one of the most unprincipled, dishonest, morally reckless, characterless, narcissistic, arrogant men to ever walk on terrestrial turf—as a savior of humanity. And if that’s not bad enough, the two women closest in power to these two scoundrels, Kamala Harris and Nikki Haley, are no better—or even worse.

In other words, America has NO leadership. NONE! ZILCH! And for those who are too busy or too ignorant to notice, this is positively and without controversy a judgment of Almighty God on our once-great nation. (Isaiah 3:1–4)
