We pray that you will enjoy our commitment to the clear gospel of Jesus Christ and that today’s concluding message of this teaching will be a blessing to you and your family. I want you to turn in your Bible to the book of Psalms 94. Psalms 94. Psalms 94, look there in verse 20. Psalms 94 and verse 20. And notice what he says, shall the throne of of iniquity, have fellowship with thee. Now get this and underline this, which frameeth mischief by a law, which frameeth mischief by a law.

So we have people today that get elected to office who have no clue what the Bible says or or really agree with the Constitution. But they swear to uphold it, and then they get in and they don’t. Our president today does not uphold our Constitution. He is to execute the law that’s passed by Congress, and that’s one of his responsibilities. Not pick and choose like he’s doing. It’s wrong. Not right for this country, and I will say so. No, they frame mischief by making laws.

They legislate things that are not true. And then of course, we can say just like with the IRS. I don’t like the IRS. They don’t have the right, no, but they got the power. A lot of things are not right, but they have power. The power means that they can force you to do what they want you to do. And if you’re afraid of them, then you do. Or you’re afraid of the consequences because you can’t fight, then you yield.

And so that’s where majority of people are in the world today. And so if the good people do nothing, then evil will spread and gets worse and worse and worse. Another scripture I want to do to see, but I’ll just read this one to you. In Hosea chapter 4 and verse 6, this is what it says, my people are destroyed for a, who have a clue, lack of knowledge. They lack knowledge and they don’t read, they don’t study. Because thou hath rejected knowledge, I also will reject thee.

That thou shall be no priest to me, see and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. So God says, There’s a reason why he does what he does, but because people forsake his word and do not do what God wants him to do. Now we have, and let me just kind of show you that, there’s God and the Bible, and then we have some good men who believed in God and the Bible.

And so these good men produced a document called the US Constitution, and then we got all of us people. So it’s alright as long as we have people elected to office that believe in God and believe in the Bible and believe that this instrument called the US Constitution, though it is not inspired of God. It is simply a human document, but it was based upon what the Bible says because it was people that believed in God in the Lord.

So this over here is our foundation. So if there’s people who get to the place where they want to change this country, there has to be a changing of the gods. So they have to change the God. Who is God? Now if God of the Bible is no longer God. Well, then they put themselves as God. So when we allowed evolution to be taught in our schools, that there is no God, there is no Creator, there is no creation.

Then how do we get here by the process of evolution? So evolution has no plan. That means a planner, a designer, a designer, or there’s no laws. That means a law-giver. So there’s none of those things. So we’re just the highest form of animal on the top of the evolutionary ladder. And so therefore, if we change where we came from, there is no God, man becomes God. If man becomes God, then we don’t need the Bible because that’s for the people who believe in God.

So now the man must develop something like the humanist manifesto that will explain what his religion is, And that has been done. And it has been taught in our schools and our college, our universities, until majority of the people in this country, even Christians, live their lives according to the humanist manifesto. And their logic comes from it. It just makes humanistic sense. And so therefore, they go by that. Well, if you’re going to change that, then you don’t need the Constitution, because the Constitution was based upon the rights of a man and his responsibility to each other and to God, we were endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights.

That didn’t come from man, it didn’t come from government, it came from God. So what we have today is people that no longer believe that. So now all you have to do is go by the majority will of the people. What do the people want? And then when you have a majority, there’s no protection for the minority. Whatever the 51% 1% decides the 49% has to go along with that. You said, well, that’s all the way it is. No, it’s not.

The true way is 75% can’t change the rights for the 25% because he writes didn’t come from government and government has no authority to take away anybody’s rights. God gave us those rights and man and government is wrong when they tried to your supplant God and take control. And that’s why even in the Bible and it says, stand fast therefore in the liberty, where would you have in Christ? And be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. America is gonna lose its freedom because it won’t stand for freedom.

It won’t stand for what’s right. Now it’s just be tolerant of everything until we finally go to sleep and we’re gonna wake up one day with no freedoms left whatsoever. And I see it coming. Let me read this in. did the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court says that we need not have the difficulty of when life begins. The judiciary at this point in the development of man’s knowledge is to speculate as to the answer. The Supreme Court did not believe that we are sufficient to determine when life begins.

So they passed a buck back to Congress. And so now we have it where if Congress would pass a law, simply like life at conception, now we have a little bit more knowledge and we believe, and we believe a lot of scientists believe that life begins at conception. And if it does, if we have them where they pass a law that life begins at conception because the Supreme Court could not rule on when life begins. That was not what they believed they were capable or should decide.

Therefore, Congress should make a law. Then they can rule against the law once it’s presented to the Supreme Court. So if they passed a law saying that life begins at conception, all of abortion will automatically be wrong and murder. You understand what I’m saying? The fact is, and this is what is the 14th Amendment of our Constitution. The High Court, they made this key admission. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellate case, Roe v. Wade, who sought a abortion, of course, collapses for the fetus right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the 14th Amendment.

And the 14th Amendment states this, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. Then all of the laws have to protect that unborn child in a mother’s womb. It becomes totally now unconstitutional. But see, that’s why they use a different word that doesn’t mean murder because it’s a description of a fetus or a blob, a blob. And that’s why it needs to be changed.

So Congress would have the power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provision of that article. So do I believe that’s what should be done? Yes, I most certainly do. Let me read this to you. Is it over? Is it over? I mean, is it over? Or is it possible, as Abraham says, is there not yet, you know, ten? What about if there’s ten righteous people? There is no question that the forces of globalism and socialism have pretty much had their way over the past few decades.

And with very few exceptions, we don’t have a lot of allies in Washington, D.C. And in most state capitals, for that matter we don’t have a lot of allies on Wall Street or in most classrooms, but that doesn’t mean that it’s over, not by a long shot. Now the man that wrote this article that I’m reading to you is a man by the name of Chuck Baldwin. I’ve been to me with him for years. Freedom did not have a majority in 1775 and 1776.

I doubt that one could find any time in history when the proponents of liberty were ever in a majority. Sam Adams may have in it best when he said, it does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate tireless minority keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men. Did you know that that’s how they pretty much the liberals, the hippies of the past have just about taken over our country? They just kept hollering and yelling and screaming and then get the ACLU.

Can one imagine how history would have been changed had the Church of Lexington, Massachusetts, and all the churches of colonial America, for that matter, been occupied with the kind of ministers we have today? I can tell you this, there would have been no Lexington Green, Concord Bridge, Nor Bunker Hill, no Valley Ford, no declaration of independence, no U.S. Constitution in no United States of America. And that is an absolute fact. The erroneous interpretation of Romans 13, so prevalent among pastors and churches today, would have instructed the colonists that it would be a sin against God to rebel against King George.

Pastors would have taught their congregation to be good little slaves to the crown. Without a doubt, had colonial America had the kind of ministers we have today, we would still be a subjected colony of Great Britain to this very hour. I agree with that. Because everybody wants peace, nobody wants trouble. So don’t rock the boat. Don’t start trouble. Well, let me read this to you. So prominent was the role that Presbyterian pastors played in the American Revolution. That is news of the rebellion spread throughout England, Horace Watmore, told his fellow members of the British Parliament, there is no use crying about it, cousin America, who are cousins?

cousin america has run off of the press peterian parson that is the end of it and press peterian ministers were not the only ones to rally the church for the cause of independence so many baptist preachers participated in america’s war for independence that at the conclusion of the war president george washington wrote a personal letter to the baptist people saying i recollect with satisfaction that the religious societies of which you are a member have been throughout america uniformly and almost unanimously the firm friends to civil liberty and the preserving promoters of our glorious revolution.

In other words, it hadn’t been for the pastors in the churches in the revolution that went to be in one. They caused it. It was preachers back in the 1700s. We don’t have leaders like we used to have because everybody’s afraid of what it might cost them. If you take a strong stand and there’s people in the churches that are afraid of what they may have to go through them. Because you see, you get labeled with whatever the preacher’s like.

Everybody likes me and then they’ll like you. But if they don’t like me, they’re not going to like you. This is what I tell you that. But it was ministers from all of the Christian denominations who sounded the Clarion call for freedom from their pulpits. Righted in the mid-1800s noted attorney and historian John Windgate Thornton said, To the pulpit, the Puritan pulpit, we owe the moral force which won our independence. The Patriot pulpit is what colonial America had that modern America doesn’t have.

We lack the moral force of that Patriot pulpit. For the most part, America’s pastors today are shy, sheepish servants of the states. For the American people to once again muster the courage and conviction to reclaim their liberties require a revival of the Patriot pulpit. As long as Christian people stay seated in the padded pews of these passive pulpit, our nation will continue to plummet into the pit. But this is where the good news begins. Is it all over? No, too many freedom lovers are still breathing, so it’s not over.

There’s a thing I got from Bob McCurry. I’ve been with him in a lot of meetings. It started back in 1982, when they were trying to close down the Everett Sullivan up there in Nebraska. Over a thousand pastors went up there from all over America, and they were trying to close their school down. They put seven fathers in jail because they had their kids in a Christian school. And so the public school says we want those kids in there and those teachers in New York school are not qualified.

Did it cause trouble? Because all the preachers knew if they can do this to this church and this school they can do it to any church. They can do it to mine in Colorado. And then they went after another one up there and gave a story that he was up there in Nebraska. So all preachers, Lester Rolloff was up there. I mean, they came from everywhere and they went up there. I’ve got videos and all that stuff. I’ve got videos of them, state troopers going into a church and picking up the people and dragging them out of the church.

You say that can never happen in America. It was the first padlock church in American history. And I remember us walking around the jail. We walked around the jail. My brother, a little man came up there with me and along with about 50 other ones late at night, it was freezing cold. And we walked around the jail because they had seven fathers in that jail. And the sheriff’s name was Sheriff Tesh. I thought, Tesh in the flesh. Tesh in the flesh.

But anyway, we walked around it and we sung songs and then they came out there after that, and they padlocked the church. They padlocked. And so this one guy of Marine, he was an evangelist later. So he didn’t have any legs, he was in a wheelchair. And so Tim Lee came up there and he walked up, he walked up there, they rolled him up there to the door and he started sawing on that lot. And he says, I don’t have the right to go into the White House to go into the White House and they don’t have our right to lock the church house.

And it was very moody. And you talk about some preachers that got up there and they prayed and eventually they won the case because God’s people contended, confronted. So that isn’t right. And over a thousand preachers to show up a little place like that. And there were some preachers that didn’t show up because they didn’t want their name associated with anything like that. But why is our nation so morally corrupt? There’s a verse I want you to look at.

Let me just read it to you and just listen to me. It’s a small verse, but I want you to have it. It says in Hosea chapter 8 verse 7, For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap what? What shall they reap? the whirlwind. In other words, you sow the wind. In other words, what you sow you’re going to reap. America is going to reap the consequences of their sin. God is going to judge America unless we can get America to turn to the Lord.

That would take a revival. And a revival usually takes place among God’s people. And it starts first of all in the pulpit with the preachers. But majority of the preachers today don’t take a stand because they’re afraid to. Let me mention this to you. America’s so into the wind began when today’s people opted for a humanly inspired, we the people, law document in preference to the Holy Spirit inspired and infallible, the law of the Lord is perfect Word of God.

When you get away from the Bible, all you see that Constitution is just a piece of paper that means nothing, and the will of the people can change it because you no longer believe the inalienable rights by the creator. That’s given to us in our individual responsibilities, and we believe that the home is made up of the husband and the wife and the child. That’s the way God designed it. There’s a awful lot of people who are now in who are intolerant of Christian’s views.

It’s okay to believe everything but the Christian view. If you believe the Christian view, you are in the minority. You are the one that’s wrong. You are bigoted. You’re racist. You name it. And that’s you. And it’s just the opposite. You see, they call good, bad, and bad good. And they legislate unrighteous laws by which even God’s people have to suffer consequences. And it’s devastating. I don’t like it. But anyway, I got this here in the mail and after I read it, I thought, well################################ this is something we could do and I’ll just read it to you.

See, it is a petition to reverse Roe versus Wade based upon this principle that life begins at conception. If it does, and if enough people put enough pressure, they could pass this. I don’t believe that unless we do something, even God’s people are exempt. You see, we can say something, we don’t like it, but now this is just something that I thought we could do. So all of this, I’ve got them stapled together today’s table and that they’re in the back because I didn’t just want to give everybody one because you may not want one and little kids don’t need it.

But this is what it says. One will go to John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Kathy Castor, Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio to try to get something accomplished. And what it simply says is whereas because of Roe versus Wade more than 56 million unborn children have died through abortion. And whereas in Roe v. Wade, the US Supreme Court declared it could not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. And on the basis of this unresolved question declares a new right to abortion based on the right of privacy.

And whereas the 14th Amendment to the Constitution states, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, and property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within jurisdiction, the equal protection of the law. And whereas in Rome, the Supreme Court admitted, if personhood for the unborn is established, the appellate case of course, collapses for the fetus right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the 14th Amendment, Roe versus Wade. Now these are awesome statements. Whereas science is clear that human life begins a conception when a new human being is formed.

And whereas the American people oppose abortion on demand and want innocent human life to be protected, especially when it’s most defenseless. And whereas it becomes or belongs to Congress to resolve the question the Supreme Court said it cannot resolve. And whereas a life at conception act by declaring that unborn children, our persons legally entitled to constitutional protection, will rescue millions of unborn children from dying by abortion on demand. Therefore, I urge you to co-sponsor and to do everything in your power as house speaker to win ultimate passage of a life at conception act in the United States House of Representative and all you do is sign your name, city and state.

And if you can do that much, there will be five of them. They go to five different people. And when you get through, bring them to the office and I have Jesse to the address that I have. Was I clear? Could you understand what I’m saying? I hope that you believe what I’m saying. I think we ought to do what we can do. All right? We want the country free so we can keep giving the gospel. I do not want to get sidetracked with all the causes in life.

We don’t protect some of these things. We won’t have a church. We won’t do what we are. what we are been free to do. And then after it’s all over with and all freedom is lost, we’re wondering, well, why didn’t somebody do something? Why don’t we do something? I think we ought to try to do it. At least we can do this much. But what if every church in America did what we’re talking about tonight and that people fill out something and we send that in?

At least we’re on record of trying to do what we can do. This is you and me. Take somebody’s listen by internet. I don’t want to take it for granted. Everybody’s always heard. But I want you to know this hand represents you and me. This wall represents sin. We are all sinners. Everybody does something wrong. Even little kids do things wrong sometimes. But God sends the de-lovers, but he hates our sin. And for us to pay for that is eternal separation from God in hell.

God wants us to go to heaven. And to go to heaven you have to be perfect as righteous as God and no one is perfect. No one is righteous. We have all sin and come short of God’s perfection. So God says you can’t save yourself. It’s not by your works. Given money doesn’t pay for sin, going to church doesn’t pay for sin. Living a good life doesn’t pay for the bad you’ve already done. So you need a Savior. This hand represents Jesus Christ, He is the Lord, God in the flesh.

He came into the world because He loves us. But He hates our sin. Our sin separates us from Him. And I can never be with Him. He can never be with me. And that’s why I love that little statement. That Jesus Christ loved me so much He was willing to die just to give me the chance. Because there was no guarantee that I’d have to believe. But just to give me the chance to go to heaven. Because there was outside and doing it.

There is no chance. You don’t have an option. You can’t go. So Christ died to pay for my sins, came back from the dead and said, if I believe he did it for me, he would give me eternal life as a gift. I go to heaven, and what Jesus Christ did for me. Let’s pray, shall we? With a headbound eyes closed and no one looking around. If you’re here tonight, you’ve never trusted Christ as Savior if you’re watching by internet.

I want you to know more than anything else in the world that I want freedom so that I can keep telling the good news. I want you to know that God loves you and pay for your sins. you trust him as your Savior. And if you trust him right now, God said, he would save you right now, give you right now, eternal life. And you can know that you’re going to heaven when you die, the best news in all the world.

With the hit by a nice clothe, in will, just slip it up very quickly. And so yes, that made sense to me. I will trust Christ tonight as my Savior in one of all. Our Father, we thank you for this time together. We do ask Father your blessings of our country as long as we do the things that are right. I guess we need to pray for mercy because you have every right to judge this whole nation and follow for the people in Congress, no White House, we pray Lord for our leaders.

We want them to do right. We want to live a quiet and peaceful life. We want the freedoms that we enjoy and the liberties. And, follow when we think about all the children, all these babies that have been murdered, that follow they would be alive today. They could know you and do something for you. So much was taken away from them. And we pray, Father, also, for all the mothers that have given up their children for one reason or another.

They follow you. I know they have to have some kind of broken heart. There has to be a certain amount of guilt there. What we pray to Lord somehow that somebody would reach him with the gospel and let him know you still love him. They can still have eternal life and go to heaven. And Father, we commit these things to you. Help us to be wise in the days in which we live. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
