A new documentary, ‘Letter to the American Church’ has issued an urgent call to counter cultural challenges from New York Times Bestselling Author Eric Metaxas, Turning Point’s Charlie Kirk and others
Today’s American Church faces a crucial decision: the choice to silently abandon its mission of proclaiming liberty or to stand up to the forces of evil that are slowly enslaving our culture. In the 1930s, the German Church watched as a diabolical regime destroyed the soul of its country. Their choice was silence.
A documentary adaptation of Eric Metaxas’ best-selling book, Letter To The American Church, reveals the attempted Marxist takeover of the American Church putting millions in peril and argues that the Church’s decision to stay out of politics undermines its power to transform every sphere of human existence.
American Letter Productions and Turning Point USA released the film, based on the same name as the book, on EpochTV on Thursday, February 8 accompanied by a national church tour.
Letter to the American Church – dire warning
Letter to the American Church lays out the parallels between early 1930’s Nazi Germany and other totalitarian regimes, including Mao, Stalin and what is happening in America today and how the Church has been silent in the face of this evil.
Because of America’s influence, the Church has received a calling to defend the voiceless and speak against the powers that silence the cry for freedom. The film argues that the decision of many congregations to stay out of politics undermines the very message of the Gospel and its power to transform every sphere of human existence.
Join Eric Metaxas and several leading conservative voices of today, including Charlie Kirk, Dr James Lindsay, Pastor Rob McCoy, Seth Gruber, Pastor David Engelhardt, Victor Marx, Eileen Marx and Pastor John K. Amanchukwu Sr, explain how cultural Marxism has taken over America, including the Church.
The film is a wake-up call and summons the church to stand up, speak out and battle against the evil that they are seeing manifest in our country.
“The timeliness of this film is so important, and I am convinced the American Church is at an impossibly—and almost unbearably—important inflection point,” Eric says.
Letter to the American Church will inspire Christians to step into the calling God has placed on their lives at this pivotal yet familiar point in history. With compelling logic and historical support, the film examines where the Church has been and where it is headed.
“We are only 75-80 years removed from three separate regimes that killed 60-70 million people intentionally,” says Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk. “The Church is weakening which is why Marxism is ascending in America today.”
