But in life, we’re to make wise decisions and to seek the Lord and His Word and what it says and what we shouldn’t, you should not do. Yes, we got a lot of politicians, some women, some men, but sometimes the women are feeling the gap because of not enough men making the right decision to the wise decisions. Now, your freedom guaranteed to you by the US Constitution does not give you the right to live the way you please. Can you trust Christ as your Savior?

Yes? Can you live as the way you please? Well, yes you can. But is it right? Still wrong. And just because you know No, you’re going to heaven doesn’t mean that God has given you the free. You can just live as wicked as you want. Now you can still go to heaven, but it ain’t over yet. His chastening hand and the chastening hand of God can also come upon a nation when its people no longer honor him or seek to please him.

Remember, if it is a right, it must be right according to whom? God. If it is God alone who says what is right, then God alone says what is wrong, for example. Homosexuals are fighting for their lifestyle to be made right by legislation, true or not? And I mean, that’s true, that’s a true statement. They are doing it. Is it possible? No. God declares this lifestyle as an abomination, which means a strong hatred for the sin. And no legislation of any kind can make it right when God says it’s wrong.

If God says it’s wicked, it’s wicked. And no legislative body on the place of this earth can make it right. They can make it legal, but not lawful. And there’s a lot of difference. Therefore, no legislative body state or federal can ever make it right without changing God’s mind first. But see, they’re not working on God’s mind changing. They’re working on Christians. Because you see Christians, you’re so closed minded, you’re old fashioned. You believe out old fashioned book. You want to go back to the old days.

Well, we should have never left the old ways. When the old ways were right, you don’t leave them. Why are we letting the world determine which direction we go as a country? What’s wrong with understanding and believing what God’s word says and stay on the right road and do that which is right and honorable to God? Why do we have to experiment because they want to experiment? to see whether or not, hey, let’s try this, let’s try this, let’s try this, don’t need to, God’s already said, that’s wrong, that’s wrong, that’s wrong.

It may be made legal by the will of the majority, but it is not lawful by the will of God, homosexuality is in violation of the Supreme Law of the Land. The Lord will chastise an individual or nation who neglects his responsibility to do what’s right. That goes for anything else that he say that we’re fighting for their rights. They’re not fighting for anybody’s right. They’re fighting for the right to sin. So they don’t have the stigma as that’s been wrong.

So let’s just take all sin and make it right. Therefore it’s not wrong. And then you can’t say something because it’s lawful because they pass the law. They pass legislation. And now as Christians who believe that it’s wrong, you look down upon and I will be looked down upon because of what I’m saying today, not because I’m wrong, but because I refuse to bend or to bow, and I will not change my mind. There are many ungodly sincere women who are naively caught up in the powerful women’s political organizations, yet they actually believe they’re fighting to liberate the women of this country.

You cannot fight for a right or responsibility that violates another’s right or responsibility. If it does, it is neither a lawful right or unlawful responsibility. For the most part, many of the great women of this country are only being used and abused by a few ungodly women who wish to pass legislation that would free all women from their true rights. I believe that we ought to lift women up and honor them. I want to try to treat my wife as honestly as good and godly as I possibly know how.

I want to try to meet her every need and I want to try to provide for her. I love my wife. That’s not putting her down. That’s not to shame her. That’s because I love her. If every man loved his wife, like he supposed to love his wife, it would change a lot of things in our country. It would keep a man from looking at somebody else’s wife and all the other girls, because he knows he got one and he got a jewel, a precious pearl of great price.

And I believe that we ought to hold that woman in respect just like God says we should. There’s nothing wrong going God’s way. She has more freedom because she knows she’s cared for and she’s loved and she’s got a husband who tries to practice what he preaches. And every man ought to do exactly the same thing. I don’t believe it’s right for a man to go cheating on his wife. I still think a daughter is wrong and for an occasion is wrong outside of marriage, sex is wrong.

I just happen to believe that why, because the Bible says so. That makes me an old-fashioned, study-duddy, then so be it. I’ll wear that tag proudly. Anyway, only God can give rights. No legislative body in the world has the right to make amendments and her statutes contrary to the law of God. This is why all politicians, all of them, should be immersed and know and understand what the word of God says. We got people running for office today that have no clue what the Bible says.

Not only that, They don’t even know what the Constitution says. They don’t even know what the Bill of Rights are. They’re running for office because I believe, and they’ll have some crazy little issue. By the time they get in the office, that’s not even the issue, and then they got to solve all these other things, and all they’ve got is their human reasoning, which is gonna be humanistic philosophy. Contrary to the Constitution, contrary to our right, Contract to our freedom, contract to the Republican form of government, contract to the Bible.

But that’s okay because they don’t know this other part over here that even exists. That’s why we got politicians and they’d be curious. Nothing about what that Constitution says and they’ll violate anybody’s rights. It is truly a disgrace when politicians greed for power so works their judgment that they would stoop so low as to pray upon society with the promise of legalizing their sins. And I say, what we’re doing? More and more of our freedoms are being lost. Where will it stop?

The preamble to the Constitution contains the words promote the general welfare. Quote article one, section eight contains the words provide for the general welfare of the United States. It’s in there. Welfare as used in means your well being. That was the reason for the other 16 to 18 things mentioned in the Constitution for the well-being of our citizens. It had no meaning whatsoever of the government providing for individuals in this country. It’s not providing welfare. It’s promoting welfare. Not that the government, the federal government, is to provide.

Now we might want to believe that, but it’s not in there. How do you know? I read it. Did you know you could actually sit down and read the Constitution? You didn’t know that, did you? Did you know that we can understand that Constitution just like they did when they wrote it? It’s possible. Wherefore is used in? It does not mention providing for the general welfare of the individual. He said, what difference does it make? The… Where do you think so much of our taxes go for?

The things listed in the Constitution? No. It’s the things that not even listed in the Constitution. And I’ll explain that. Yet, in an under an interpretation of this clause, that we have become a welfare state. Nowhere does the Constitution delegate to the federal government the right to assume the responsibilities belong to the individual. If welfare aid can be granted to some people and not others, it is unequal treatment. You and I would not have to fight for our rights in courts.

If legislators made statues and harmony with the Constitution. Do you know what most of those people in Washington are? Lawyers. You know how lawyers make money? Time to explain to us what the law is. And they wrote it. But they also, it says, that every law that your common man cannot understand is to be null and void. But you see, we don’t understand all their rigamarole. You know where I give you to you in a big print, you yank sit away in a little print, and we don’t never read their little fine printing.

Now they can make more money going to courts so they can make more money. What a system. I heard persons say one time, This one guy took the cruise and I love taking those cruises. Well, a lawyer fell overboard and was a bunch of sharks and not a one of them would touch him. They call it professional courtesy. Anyways, we move our lawyers aren’t bad. There’s time for them. There’s nothing wrong with that. Anyway, we are guaranteed in our concert, we are guaranteed a Republican form of government.

Now, the US Constitution is the change that we bind our politicians to show they, Certainly they can and cannot do. So that Constitution is good. It’s the change upon Congress. It says you can’t do this and you can’t do that. And whatever is not listed there, all those rights reserved to the states. They overstep their boundaries because nobody puts up a defense. Nobody says anything. Let it go. Moreover, thou shalt provide out of all the people, able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and play such over them to be rulers of thousands and rulers of hundreds and rulers of fifties and rulers of tens.

This is a governmental position. What kind of men? Ablemen that fear God. Men of truth hate covetousness. Wasserman we have in Congress today, right? But where do those people come from? They come from the people in America that vote for those people. You see, they’re not the problem. The problem is the people in America that don’t know. People that are ignorant, put in place of leadership, people that are not right. And there’s a reason why they do that. Now get this.

America is a republic, not a democracy. The precise language of the trained manual, 2000, that’s 25 War Department, Washington, November the 30th, 1928, 100 years ago. It reads, democracy is a government of the masses. Its authority is derived through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression which results in, that was 90 years ago. And what are they saying about some of the decisions that some of the Democrats are doing today? Some of the things that are going on calling the mob accuracy.

That’s not. That was in the the War Department stating this is what democracy does. This is what they do. This is where it leads to the attitude democracy toward property is communistic negating property rights. The attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate. This is why you’ll hear them now talking about we need to do away with the Electoral College. You know why? Because you could just go by the majority vote. And only politicians have to go to New York and California and get the majority vote.

And the other state, you don’t have to worry about them. The other 48 states, you can do without them. Why? Because the majority could take total control of this country. And those two states are mainly of what political party. And that’s why they want to do it. Because And this is why our founding fathers wouldn’t let that happen. Because you see, with the total democracy, there’s no freedom for the one person. Because the majority can take away the rights of anybody they want.

And if they can do it to one, they can do it to you and somebody else. But people can’t see this. So the attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate whether it be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, impulse, without restraint or regard consequences and you’ll hear them talk about it on the news. They’re making decisions for the moment regardless of the consequences down the road and if y’all listen to anything in the news, read anything in the paper, you all know that what I’m telling you is the truth.

You’ll learn more right here at this church and you will by watching Fox News. Anyways, we’re moving a lot along. It results in license, agitation, discontent and anarchy and that’s what you’re going to see coming in this country if people don’t get to the polls and vote. It’s important because a certain people get in place of leadership You’re gonna see a great decline in this country like you’ve never seen and Freedons will be lost and it’s gonna lead to riots and mobs and so forth.

I mean a lot of anarchy. I Don’t want that now. What’s the difference between that and a republic? Their authority derived from the election by the people a public official Best suited to represent them so we’re supposed to find the best people who can represent us Their attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights and a sensible economic procedure. Their attitude toward law is administrative of justice and accord with fixed principles and established evidence. Now this is still part of the 1928 War Manual.

This is in their information. With a strict regard to consequences, in other words, they’re thinking about the consequences, the next generation. And those people most times in a mobocracy or the democracy, it’s now. Because you don’t think about it now. It doesn’t matter. That doesn’t matter. That’s the next generation. We’re not there. It’s not us. It’s us. And they’re not going to try to protect down the road. There’s a difference in the philosophy. A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within this compass.

this compass. Avoid the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or malocracy. Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress. And this is what we want. So does it make a difference? What kind of a person to put in place of leadership? Yes, it does make a difference because they’re going to be making decisions by which we have to live under. While we were still 13 colonies, Professor Alexander Fraser Tyler pointed out why democracies fail. Now this is a very important issue.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largest or money out of the Treasury. I can get something from that moment on. The majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy. And this was done a long time ago. And that’s what’s going on now. And so you’ll have some politicians look, you vote for me and I’m going to give you this and free health care and I’m going to give you free, free, free, free, free, free.

Is it free? Is it free? Yeah, where are they going to get? Oh, you’re all over here. I want you all to vote for me. And if you’ll give it to me, I’m going to give you everything free. You say, where are you going to I’m gonna get it, I’m gonna get it from them over here. And so by the legislative pin, I can rob you blind. And you will always vote for me because you’re getting something for free.

And you’ll stop working and providing because you’re tired of giving it all away. Why should you work and give it to them? You see, that’s un-American. That’s contrary to our form of government. You have a responsibility to work and provide for yourself. you have the same right. And if you don’t work and you can work, starve. You say, you’re unkind. No, I’m not. And that’s not being mean. That’s biblical. And if you want to stick around here to Father Clock, I can show you that too in the Bible.

But look at the rest of this. From that moment on, the majority always votes for whoever is going to give them something. And this is not what a lot of the politicians are doing. Give me, give me, give me. vote for me. He’s not giving his money. He’s got to take it from somebody and then keep some of it and then give you some back. And it destroys because if I got a piggy bank up here and it’s got a million dollars in it, and you find out that I can write that sign and give you some and then I can give you some and I can give you some and I can give you a vote for me because I’m going to give you something for free.

Now, when all the money is gone, now what do you do? Then you’ve got communism because nobody owns anything. There is no money to give and nobody has health insurance and nobody has anything. Why? Because you’ve done robbed yourself. You did it to yourself. The clear difference between the democracy and the republic is that a worse a Republican form of government might degenerate until the representative of the people are collectively so corrupt, so greedy and so power-driven that they might try to enrich themselves and increase their power at the expense of the govern.

But the people still have the full authority to vote them out of office. But under democracy, when you have people who do not care about the Constitution, don’t care about your rights, they’re going to take away your power to rebel. On the other hand, the worst that can happen in a democracy is that government degenerates into rule by the strongest, cruelest, and most brutal mob at the moment with countless other mobs eternally contesting them for dictatorial powers. You’re seeing what we’re talking about take place right before our eyes.

And they don’t care. And they’ll dig up any dirt on anybody. You know what that does after a while? No good, decent, godly man will want to run for office because it don’t have to be true, just an accusation. And it destroys the will of good people to stand up and do something about it. This is something I wrote in 1982 when I ran for the State Board of Education. I put it in a booklet for him, 3,000 delegates of the state of Colorado.

put this out. This is in the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News. Republican philosophy is based upon the Constitution, the Word of God. See, you have to have the Word of God as your foundation and that’s how you determine what kind of a government to have and what kind of a government is going to have to fulfill you know the will of that God has laid down for us. So it teaches you how to think. So you want to teach kids the truth of the Word of God so I’ll know how to think.

You see, democracy teaches you what to think, not how to think. And that’s why so many of them can be led like cattle to the slaughter. They don’t know how to think. They can’t see, they can’t read, they can’t relate, can’t record. And all those are important. Teachers how to think. And you’ll see, I don’t know if you can see the Baron, but when you think right, you can live right. But about building the family and good literature and about individual is important, Americanism, prayer in the schools, moral standards, God is alive, Christian Republic, Biblical women’s role, all these are all good things.

That’s the result of the root. But when you have a bad root, then you’re going to have bad fruit. And so this is the way it should be on how to think. And then you have teaches what to think. Democratic philosophy is the will of the majority. See it’s unsan. It’s not built upon the word of God. It’s built upon how men think. Humanism, secular humanism without God. And so without God, there’s no right, there’s no wrong. It’s whatever all of us say is right and what all of us say is wrong.

It’s the will of the people. No, it’s not it’s the will of God. And so that is what the Republican philosophy is based upon, and the Democratic philosophy is based upon humanism, secular humanism, a man’s thoughts, his own reasoning, and to do whatever he wants to do. So you have secular humanism, and so it teaches you what to think. And they’re talking about anti-Bible. This is the Democratic Party. This is the democratic philosophy against the Bible, against Christ, against our country.

What do you think so many people are? They’re against our country. They had no pride in this country. Also theory of evolution, God is dead, gain rights movement, right to suicide, ban prayer in the schools, new world order, all these things of him and end up legal marriage, all these things. I did this 36 years ago. I said, my little book I got. When I first came down here, I gave everybody a copy of that book. Anybody remember that book?

I mean, I read the book, but it’s all in there. And there’s a reason because it’s so important. You see, you look at your voters’ guide, and you see what is their position? And vote for the man who holds the right position. Forget the faces, look at the position and where they stand. Because some you’ll find out it will be very simple, very clear. But if you don’t vote, you have no right to say one thing about the direction of this country and wrong people being placed in the leisure because you could have done something about it and Christians across this country can control this country and an American Christian country, a Republican form of government that secures our freedoms and our rights.

But if we don’t do it, we’ll lose it. And we’ll lose this country. You say, what’s so bad about that? Our kids won’t have the freedom to learn and to enjoy what we have enjoyed. Because they’ll take everything that we have and they’ll take it away from us. And they’ll destroy our borders. They’ll destroy this country. One thing I do agree with Trump, without borders were not a country and we need to protect our country and that’s not been heartless that’s just been reasonable it’s been sensible it’s based upon the world of God now that I’ve made y’all mad at me let me show you my sweeter side this hand represent you and me shall sweet I said that this represent you and me this represents sin we all have sin on us not just because I’m telling you that truth don’t mean I’m mad at you.

He said but I’m still telling you the truth. God loves us. He loves you. Even if you do not agree with me on one thing on politics I’ve had people say I didn’t come to church to learn politics. Well, then you have to go your Bible away. The whole Bible is about politics. You ever heard of King David? The kingdom? You ever heard of Jesus being king and ruling? Did you ever heard of David in the Old Testament? And you hear about Joseph who was, hey, all of the Bibles are about government.

And things the government did right and things the government did wrong. Now it’s our turn. Here we are. God loves us. H.R. sin. Because we’ve all sinned, we’re all condemned. But God loves us. Wants us to go to heaven. He doesn’t want us to go in the hell. But to go to heaven, we have to be perfect as righteous. God and none of us are perfect. We have all sinned. Come short of God’s perfection. So the Bible says we cannot save ourselves.

We need a Savior. This hand represents Jesus Christ. He’s the Lord God in the flesh. He came into the world because he loves us. He hates our sin because our sin separates us from him. So Jesus Christ said that He loved us and He would take all of our sins, pay for them on the cross, came back from the dead. And God says the only thing He wanted me to do or you to do is believe He did it for us.

See this world is not the end of it. This world is going to end. But if you trust the Christ, you save you, you get to go to be with the Lord in heaven. And then He’s going to have a thousand year reign upon the earth and He’s going to have righteous rule because the king is here. And it says in the increase of his kingdom, there’d be no end. Here it’s his all temporary. But I believe that we have a responsibility still to do that which is right.

And when we can have a choice in making something right in this country, we ought to be thankful that we can do so. I would rather solve our problems with the ballot than the bullet. Let’s pray, shall we? It’s about nice clothes and no one looking around. If you’re here this morning, if you’ve never trusted Christ as your Savior, we may never save America. But if we want to save America, we need to get America saved. You’re in this country.

You can be an American citizen, but you’re not a citizen of heaven until you’re born in the God’s Kingdom. So if you’ve never done so, would you right now? So yes, I will trust Christ as my Savior. I believe he died on that cross, paid for my sins. And I’m not going to have you forward. Not going to embarrass you. But I am going to ask you if what I’ve said made sense to you. Say preach that made sense to me.

I want to be certain I’m going to heaven. And I will trust Christ as my Savior right now. And friend, if you’re making that decision, I’d like to have prayer for you. So I’m going to ask if you’re just sleepy handed very quickly, but write back down. In one of all. If you’re watching by the internet, right where you are, all that you have to do is the only thing you can do. Put your trust in Jesus Christ. Believe in that He died and paid for your sins.

That He came back from the dead and He’ll give you as a free gift everlasting life. I pray that you’ll trust Him. And if you will, write it on the screen and say, yes, I’ll trust Christ as my Savior. I’d love to know. I’d appreciate it if you’d click it if you can. All the way, thank you again for your blessings. Thank you for all you do for us. We pray Lord for wisdom to do right in Christ and then we pray.
