Daily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Myles Holmes
Pastor Myles Holmes of Revive Church USA in Collinsville, Illinois joins Philip Cameron for an urgent, unfiltered conversation about the church's responsibility in the political and moral crisis facing America. Holmes, who pastored in Niagara Falls, Canada for 20 years before planting Revive Church USA, argues that Christian silence at the ballot box is not neutrality — it is complicity. "I'm not a political preacher, I'm a biblical preacher," Holmes declares, pointing out that his convictions on life in the womb, marriage, and gender have never changed — it is the culture that has moved. Drawing on Charles Finney's warning that "thundering pulpits" are the only safeguard against weak government, Holmes dismantles the Johnson Amendment myth, explaining that no pastor has ever been jailed or fined for endorsing candidates from the pulpit, and that the First Amendment makes such restrictions unconstitutional. He also challenges the hyper-Calvinist notion that Christians can sit out elections because "God's will is done regardless," arguing that God's will is only enacted when His people act. Holmes recommends his book Why American Patriots Must Elect Donald Trump and the book Shepherds for Sale by Megan Basham, which exposes outside funding influencing church leadership. He also points viewers to his church at Revive Church USA. If you love your country and your faith, this episode will move you to action.
What's Discussed
Pastor Myles Holmes of Revive Church USA in Collinsville, Illinois makes a passionate biblical and constitutional case for Christian civic engagement. He argues that 70% of church members not voting has enabled moral decline — from abortion to gender ideology — and that pastors who stay silent bear spiritual responsibility for the consequences. Holmes debunks the Johnson Amendment as an unconstitutional and unenforced restriction on pastoral speech, cites Charles Finney on the link between pulpit boldness and government integrity, and refutes hyper-Calvinist passivity by asserting that God's will is only accomplished when His people act. He recommends Shepherds for Sale by Megan Basham and his own book Why American Patriots Must Elect Donald Trump.
