Welcome to the Eric Matexis show with your host Eric Matexis.

Folks, welcome to Hour 2.

Yes, there are two hours.

Don't be scared.

Everything's going to be OK.

I'm still talking to Mario Marillo.

We are going to get into some really important stuff.

And Mario just began that at the end of Hour 1 about where we are in the culture today

and whether the church has an obligation to wade into the political waters.

Princees, yes, obviously they do, close Perenn.

So Mario, you, my wife and I have been watching you and you know reading some of your stuff.

And we just cheer because they're so few who seem to get what strikes us, unfortunately,

as obvious that if we do not speak out against evil, I mean, I think it was just last night,

I was with a friend.

And we were talking about how is it possible that some of these pastors don't get into

this stuff and by not getting into it are helping, aiding and abetting the enemy.

They don't think they are.

They think there's some neutral ground.

And as I thought about it, I thought to myself, they have persuaded themselves or they have

allowed the enemy in a sense to put them in a corner where they say, hey, it's all about

evangelism.

We can never be political because we might offend somebody.
