When a Culture Needs Deliverance:

Whole cultures can be redeemed, but first the culture has to come face to face with it's dysfunction. If it remains in denial, it remains unredeemed. I say this as a man with German heritage, who lived there for years, who saw how hard it has been for the culture to change since WWII. It's still changing, but they are beginning to recognize what happened during the times of the Nazis. Redemption is happening as the old generation so badly deceived dies off.

Now we have another culture in need of redemption. Those trapped in the lies the culture has told them remain unredeemed. Just as I met those who believed Hitler was right, that he did much good. There are people who are convinced their dysfunctional culture is OK. It's not. It's destroying the children, marriages, families, justice, lives, social order, economies and people's potential. It propagates hatred and fear. It is very like the culture of Nazi Germany.

I will do all I can, but the culture first has to recognize the lies they have bought into and renounce them. This is pure deliverance. Renouncing is the first step.
