: When Governments Shape Faith

In this Memorable Monday session of Let’s Talk with Rocky Stevenson Pastor of Benoni Bible Church, we journey from the Peace of Augsburg in 1555 to the challenges facing the modern church. When rulers determined the religion of their people, Europe gained political stability—but lost spiritual vitality. Drawing from Jesus’ words on true worship (John | 4:23–24), Paul’s warning about zeal without righteousness (Romans | 10:2–4), and Christ’s teaching on the wheat and tares (Matthew | 13:24–30), this episode shows why faith cannot be forced and why the gospel withers when church and state merge. With thoughtful reflection on contemporary South Africa, we explore why Christ alone governs His church, why conscience must remain free, and how history warns us against trading gospel purity for political peace. #MemorableMonday #ChurchHistoryMatters #PeaceOfAugsburg #ChurchAndState #BiblicalWorship #FreedomOfConscience #TrueFaith #GospelOverPolitics #ChristianHistory #LetTheChurchBeTheChurch #ReformationLessons #SouthAfricaChurch #SpiritAndTruth
