The following 3 minute video is being posted as an example of what Dr. MacArthur was describing in my recent post: Who’s To Blame For The Riots.
In that post, Dr. MacArthur described the “restraints” that God has placed in society and in the heart of mankind being undone by various threats against society. Those restraints were described as follows:

A major part of this blog is dedicated to clarifying true Christianity and false Christianity; the latter makes up at least 90% of the 2020 church. But that is in line with scripture: “only a remnant will be saved;” “few there be that find it,” the narrow, true gate and way of biblical Christianity that is based on faith, not fleshly works….
