False Idols: How the State Became Our New God

Has government quietly become America’s new god? We say “In God We Trust”… but do we actually live like we believe it? In this thought-provoking message, Brother Carlton explores a difficult but important question: What happens when people stop trusting God? Do they stop trusting altogether—or simply transfer that trust to politicians, institutions, technology, and the modern state? In this message, we discuss: Why people often replace God with man-made systems How excessive dependence on government can become dangerous The growing temptation to treat political leaders like saviors Why biblical faith calls us back to trusting God above all earthly power Historical, spiritual, and practical reasons to think more deeply about freedom, truth, and authority “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.” — Psalm 20:7 (KJV) Whether you agree or disagree, this message is designed to make you think.
