Spiritually Bankrupt?

Why doesn't the church teach more on spiritual warfare? Why when you bring it up do some preachers run the other way? Is your church preaching the complete gospel of Jesus or does it refrain from uncomfortable subjects like how to cast out demons? I am very frustrated at the church today. They act like the only teachings to be preached on are those of Gods love for us. What about Gods wrath for Israel, when they forgot about him? This people in this country has forgotten about God. Our children are brain washed by purely secular schools. Science is actively used to refute creationism. Science is routinely used to give ridicules explanations for obviously supernatural signs and wonders. This country has a morally bankrupt culture! You can tie all these things into spiritual warfare, or the lack there of!
And what of the "man of God". He says nothing on the politics of our great nation. Our Govt is wholly influenced and run by the enemy, yet the church does not want to endanger its 501c status. I am tired of the touchy feely church. I want a church that does nothing to suppress the truth (the whole truth). In fact, I want a church that believes every word Jesus spoke and puts his commands into practice! ALL OF THEM!!! Where is such a church? If you can tell me, I will attend there.

What are you scared of?

  We as Christians have all passed on the opportunity to help someone else. We tell ourselves things like "someone else will do it", "I don't have the time to help", "if I give that guy money he will buy beer with it".
My personal favorite and probably the most used phrase among Christians has got to be "I will pray for you". I am not saying prayer is not effective, quite the opposite. But prayer should be used in combination with good works. The man on the street does not need your prayer so you feel better about his situation, he needs shelter, he needs basic human understanding. Most of us are a paycheck away from being in his situation anyway.
Imagine yourself out there homeless. What is it you would need first? What would be your first move to get yourself and maybe your family off the streets? Would it be prayer? I will tell you this - prayer without action will result in your death. I have a saying I frequently use: God feeds the birds, but he doesn't put the food in the nest. They have to go get it.
Sometimes God tells us to be still while he works. Obviously hearing the voice of God is an attention-grabber, and what you are told to do should be done. But to pray and then lay down and die is against God.
