For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, warning them persistently, even to this day, saying, Obey my voice. Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not." Again the LORD said to me, "A conspiracy exists among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Is there a conspiracy of silence within the American Christian Church? I believe there is. It is called "don't rock the boat." Called, "not my problem." Called, "just a clump of cells, not really life." But it really is the disease which should be called, "I want to be as the nations around me." Human nature was on display when Israel called for a king so they could be like other nations; it has not changed.
