Summary
In The Pillars Are Crumbling, Professor Toto argues that religious liberty in the United States is being steadily weakened through government surveillance, public-health restrictions, health-care mandates, discrimination laws, and regulation of religious speech. The speaker invokes Hebrews 10:25 to criticize believers who accepted restrictions on church assembly during COVID-19. He reviews historical figures associated with American religious liberty and argues that the constitutional principle of church-state separation was intended to protect religious practice from governmental interference. He then discusses conflicts involving abortion-related health mandates, religious exemptions, same-sex weddings, Christian business owners, and government regulation of sermons. Leviticus 20:13 is directly quoted as the biblical belief cited by one Christian business owner. The sermon concludes with the language of Isaiah 58:12, calling listeners to become “repairers of the breach.” Donald Trump is presented as a leader raised up to mobilize citizens, while the audience is charged with holding up the nation’s crumbling pillars of religious liberty and constitutional protection.
