Only One Thing Left in the Closet: Pastor Allen Jackson Calls Christians to Stand

Playback speed:

Eight months ago, Pastor Allen Jackson of World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, delivered a message that still reverberates across the American Church today. Appearing on United Patriots Uprising with Gary Binford, Pastor Jackson didn’t mince words. His central warning: if Christians do not confront evil and reclaim the ground we’ve surrendered, America will forfeit its liberty in unprecedented ways.

Jackson emphasized that believers must move beyond passive faith. The Church has spent decades avoiding confrontation with evil in the name of tolerance, relevance, and inclusivity. But evil doesn’t go away when ignored—it advances.

Confronting Evil Is Not Optional

In one of the most striking moments of the interview, Pastor Jackson commented that “the only things left in the closet these days are Christians.” While the culture proudly flaunts what once was hidden—celebrating rebellion against God’s design—many believers have retreated from the public square. The Church, once a bold witness, now finds itself pressured to stay silent or be labeled hateful. Jackson insists that this retreat must end.

This isn’t a political fight; it’s a spiritual one. Jackson explained that Christians have been conditioned to be polite and non-confrontational. But the early Church didn’t operate that way. The Apostle Paul, when ministering in Ephesus, confronted demonic strongholds and cultural corruption head-on. We must recover that boldness. As Paul wrote in Romans 1:16, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.”

Jackson’s call is clear: step out of the closet of fear and into the arena of faith. Just as Paul stood before rulers and mobs alike with unwavering courage, so must today’s believers stand firm. As 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

When God Is Removed, Darkness Fills the Void

America’s moral decline, Jackson argued, began with one tragic step: the removal of God from public life. Once God was pushed out of schools, government, and the corporate world, evil filled the vacuum. And instead of resisting, the Church stepped back.

The Biblical Response: Repentance and Righteousness

Jackson offered a remedy rooted in biblical discipleship. Repentance, righteousness, and holiness are not relics of the past—they are foundational to faithful Christian living. These must once again become the priorities of the Church.

No More Sunday-Only Christianity

Jackson challenged believers to reject compartmentalized faith. Christianity isn’t a weekend identity—it’s a daily calling. Our convictions should shape every aspect of our lives, including our political participation. Elections, he said, reveal the condition of the Church’s heart.

Scripture Must Be Reclaimed as the Authority

The infiltration of Marxist ideologies like DEI and CRT has left many churches divided and disoriented. Jackson stressed the need to reclaim Scripture as the ultimate authority, rejecting compromise and cultural conformity.

Revival Is Still Possible—But It Starts with Us

Hope remains. Jackson believes that revival will not begin in elite institutions but rather with faithful believers on the margins—those who choose to speak the truth, live righteously, and confront evil with courage.
