This morning before we 00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:28.149 get started I did want to say a word. We did 00:00:28.149 --> 00:00:32.049 have a dear friend in the area, the northern 00:00:32.049 --> 00:00:36.409 neck, crossover into eternity. His name was Ron 00:00:36.409 --> 00:00:39.450 Jeffers and he was a solid voice here in the 00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:43.189 community. He loved to cook and he was greatly 00:00:43.189 --> 00:00:46.270 loved and he will be greatly missed. So we do 00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:50.229 want to pray for his family and friends who are 00:00:50.229 --> 00:00:53.560 all missing him. today but he was a wonderful 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:59.840 person always joyful always kind and just a wonderful 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.299 voice on the radio he actually is the voice you 00:01:02.299 --> 00:01:07.579 hear announce me when my program starts so we 00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:12.079 just love you ron we miss you and we pray for 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.200 that family comfort and strength during this 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.159 time okay so this morning we're going to talk 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.590 about the land of the free, the home of the brave. 00:01:24.189 --> 00:01:27.969 Why is America what we are today? And we're talking 00:01:27.969 --> 00:01:30.689 about this because we have a huge day coming 00:01:30.689 --> 00:01:34.790 up November 5th, the election. And you may say, 00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:37.930 oh, we don't want to mix God and politics. Well, 00:01:37.950 --> 00:01:41.810 guess what? We do want to mix God and politics. 00:01:42.510 --> 00:01:46.750 Why? Because our country was founded on solid 00:01:46.750 --> 00:01:53.349 principles of God's word. Did you know that out 00:01:53.349 --> 00:01:57.150 of the 55 men who formed the Constitution, 52 00:01:57.150 --> 00:02:01.650 of them were members of their church? Noel Webster, 00:02:01.969 --> 00:02:05.269 who also was in that mix, could quote the Bible 00:02:05.269 --> 00:02:09.849 chapter and verse. I mean, our country was founded 00:02:09.849 --> 00:02:14.370 on the principles of the Word of God. You know, 00:02:14.530 --> 00:02:17.289 Abe Lincoln, you know, he once said the philosophy 00:02:17.289 --> 00:02:19.409 in the school room in one generation will be 00:02:19.409 --> 00:02:22.189 the philosophy of government in the next generation. 00:02:22.250 --> 00:02:26.229 So we want to protect our children and our grandchildren. 00:02:27.030 --> 00:02:29.509 You know, James Madison said we've staked our 00:02:29.509 --> 00:02:32.129 future on our ability to follow the Ten Commandments 00:02:32.129 --> 00:02:35.729 with all our heart. In Washington's farewell 00:02:35.729 --> 00:02:37.629 address, George Washington's farewell address, 00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:40.189 he said, you can't have national morality apart 00:02:40.189 --> 00:02:43.400 from religious principle. And it's true. You 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.479 know, when you eliminate the word of God from 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.000 the classroom and from the politics, you eliminate 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.520 the nation that that word protects. You know, 00:02:52.580 --> 00:02:56.860 God is a protector of his children and those 00:02:56.860 --> 00:03:01.949 nations who love God are protected by God. but 00:03:01.949 --> 00:03:06.590 we have to do our part. Proverbs 14 34 says righteousness 00:03:06.590 --> 00:03:10.009 exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any 00:03:10.009 --> 00:03:13.389 nation. Proverbs 29 2 says when the righteous 00:03:13.389 --> 00:03:16.469 are in authority the people rejoice and when 00:03:16.469 --> 00:03:20.090 the wicked rule the people mourn. You know we 00:03:20.090 --> 00:03:24.349 want righteousness ruling in our governments 00:03:24.349 --> 00:03:27.789 you know in every sector of government in state 00:03:27.789 --> 00:03:32.159 and in federal. And so that's our choice. It's 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.240 our choice as a republic to vote. And we are 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.580 blessed with freedom. We are the United States 00:03:40.580 --> 00:03:47.280 of America. United States of America. And Psalms 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.939 3312 says, blessed is a nation whose God is their 00:03:50.939 --> 00:03:54.259 Lord and the people whom he has chosen as his 00:03:54.259 --> 00:03:58.199 inheritance. You know, he chose, he chose this 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.419 nation. and he gave our founding fathers a heart 00:04:02.419 --> 00:04:07.539 towards him they chose him they wanted they wanted 00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:11.639 to go to a new land and it was all based on the 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.979 freedom they wanted you know they cited 27 biblical 00:04:18.540 --> 00:04:21.000 discrepancies in the United Kingdom. So they 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.959 wanted here, they wanted to come here and start 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.160 that nation. And we've got to protect it for 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.740 our children and our children's children. You 00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:31.160 know, we are the land of the free and the home 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.519 of the brave. You know, America must return to 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.379 God. And why wouldn't we want to? He's the greatest 00:04:38.379 --> 00:04:43.120 thing there is, period. You know and we all are 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.000 members of the body of Christ and you are important 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.000 your voice matters You know every member of the 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.600 body if you you know Christ is the head of the 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.000 church the Bible says and we are the body You 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.060 know if even in the physical if you cut off your 00:04:59.060 --> 00:05:01.019 head and put the head separate from the body 00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:03.060 the head can Think and want to do many things, 00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:05.860 but the body's not attached to do it. We have 00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:10.250 to be united as one You know, we have to be strong 00:05:10.250 --> 00:05:12.269 in the Lord and in the power of his might. We 00:05:12.269 --> 00:05:14.889 have to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, 00:05:14.930 --> 00:05:17.430 and strength and love others as we love ourselves. 00:05:18.209 --> 00:05:22.430 You know, we want to stand strong. Because why? 00:05:22.550 --> 00:05:26.529 Because in those mighty, godly men that founded 00:05:26.529 --> 00:05:30.129 our nation, that wrote the Constitution, you 00:05:30.129 --> 00:05:32.629 know, the very First Amendment is the freedom 00:05:32.629 --> 00:05:38.279 of religion. hallelujah and it's also the freedom 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:43.040 of speech that we can share about God and the 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.300 Second Amendment helps us protect the first you 00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:48.060 know we have the right to bear arms so these 00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:51.300 are important things that were founded you know 00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:56.339 200 years ago we have the right we have the right 00:05:56.339 --> 00:06:00.459 to tune who we worship you know and there are 00:06:00.459 --> 00:06:04.110 many religions out there But and guess what our 00:06:04.110 --> 00:06:08.000 nation protects the right. to choose and God 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.519 gave us the right to choose. God says you have 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.879 a free will. God doesn't want us bound by a nation 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:18.100 like there is in Russia or some other North Korea 00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:21.000 and some of the nations that are just locked 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.240 down on their people and don't allow them to 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.079 freely worship Christ. They force you to worship 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.360 whom you want to worship. They make laws. You're 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.939 not allowed to bear arms in some countries. Some 00:06:33.939 --> 00:06:36.839 countries have taken away all the As a matter 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.759 of fact, I was listening to a faith forum and 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:45.720 it had someone, his name is Father Calvin Robinson, 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.600 and he is from the United Kingdom and this is 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.199 what's happening over there right now. And I 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.339 just want to give you an idea what can happen 00:06:54.339 --> 00:06:58.120 in a nation who turns away from God. You know, 00:06:58.220 --> 00:07:00.259 their average attendance, and this is from him 00:07:00.259 --> 00:07:03.779 per church right now, is 25 people. You know, 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.579 Marxist is taking over the United Kingdom. Christianity 00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:14.660 is no longer the number one religion. Islam will 00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:17.519 be number one before his generation is over, 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.720 he said, if something doesn't change. You know, 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.680 they removed God from their judiciary, from the 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.500 public life, from their classroom, and his whole 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.160 encouragement was America you have a strong Constitution 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:40.399 stand stand and pray and believe and go to church 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.180 and be united you know being divided by denomination 00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:48.519 was never God's idea that was man's so we want 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:53.459 to serve God you know with our whole heart we 00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:55.879 don't want to become like the United Kingdom 00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:01.149 but we can already see some decay happening on 00:08:01.149 --> 00:08:04.290 the edges of America and in the middle land and, 00:08:04.290 --> 00:08:07.509 you know, all kinds of people are flooding our 00:08:07.509 --> 00:08:10.750 nation and immigration, illegal immigration, 00:08:10.750 --> 00:08:13.550 and they've all got their own beliefs. And if 00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:17.370 we don't keep our country founded on what God 00:08:17.370 --> 00:08:21.589 founded, we want God to bless our nation. And 00:08:21.589 --> 00:08:25.610 He will bless it. He will bless it when we are 00:08:25.610 --> 00:08:28.620 in right standing with Him. You know, we're going 00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:31.079 to go in the Word of God. Let's go to Matthew 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.519 and we're going to go to chapter five. And in 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.860 Matthew chapter five, Jesus is giving the sermon 00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:42.980 on the mound. And when you get to verse 10, he 00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:47.629 said blessed. Let's back up. Well let's just 00:08:47.629 --> 00:08:49.490 read the whole thing and seeing the multitudes 00:08:49.490 --> 00:08:52.049 he went up to the mountain and went and he sat 00:08:52.049 --> 00:08:54.230 down and his disciples came and he opened his 00:08:54.230 --> 00:08:57.110 mouth and said blessed are the humble in spirit 00:08:57.110 --> 00:08:59.870 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven blessed are 00:08:59.870 --> 00:09:02.809 those that mourn for they shall be comforted 00:09:02.809 --> 00:09:05.830 blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the 00:09:05.830 --> 00:09:08.250 earth blessed are they which hunger and thirst 00:09:08.250 --> 00:09:11.970 for righteousness for they shall be filled Blessed 00:09:11.970 --> 00:09:14.629 are the peacemakers, for they shall be called 00:09:14.629 --> 00:09:17.830 the children of God. Blessed are you when men 00:09:17.830 --> 00:09:20.330 revile you and persecute you and say all manner 00:09:20.330 --> 00:09:24.230 of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice 00:09:24.230 --> 00:09:28.649 and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward 00:09:28.649 --> 00:09:32.090 in heaven, for so persecuted the prophets that 00:09:32.090 --> 00:09:35.269 were before you. Then he goes on to say, you 00:09:35.269 --> 00:09:38.350 are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has 00:09:38.350 --> 00:09:41.169 lost its savior, wherewith shall it be salted? 00:09:41.850 --> 00:09:44.769 But it is therefore good for nothing but cast 00:09:44.769 --> 00:09:47.789 down and to be trodden underfoot. You know, if 00:09:47.789 --> 00:09:50.629 all we're concerned about is ourselves and we 00:09:50.629 --> 00:09:54.809 don't join together and lock arms and stand for 00:09:54.809 --> 00:09:57.250 the principles that this country was founded 00:09:57.250 --> 00:10:01.879 on. A divided house cannot stand is what the 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.559 Bible says. We have to use salt. Salt is used 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.779 to preserve things. We're to share the love of 00:10:08.779 --> 00:10:11.200 God. We're to share the importance of standing 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.139 for righteousness. Righteousness, we are responsible 00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:18.980 for this nation. God gave us this nation. Do 00:10:18.980 --> 00:10:21.000 you know you could have been born in any nation? 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.379 Imagine what you would live under if you lived 00:10:25.379 --> 00:10:29.009 in North Korea right now. Just think about it. 00:10:29.330 --> 00:10:31.769 And there are many other countries that are not 00:10:31.769 --> 00:10:35.990 serving God as a whole or even in part. And you 00:10:35.990 --> 00:10:39.309 could live under that tyranny. Oh, it would not 00:10:39.309 --> 00:10:42.830 be fun. But we have to preserve our foundation 00:10:42.830 --> 00:10:45.669 that our country stands on. We are responsible 00:10:45.669 --> 00:10:48.110 to leave this nation for our children and our 00:10:48.110 --> 00:10:51.990 children's children. you make a difference in 00:10:51.990 --> 00:10:54.629 your sphere of influence. Whether you're a doctor, 00:10:54.789 --> 00:10:57.330 a lawyer, whether you're a teacher, whether you 00:10:57.330 --> 00:10:59.830 work in the sanitation department, whether you 00:10:59.830 --> 00:11:03.090 work for a radio station, whether you work in 00:11:03.090 --> 00:11:05.830 a grocery store, you are important to God and 00:11:05.830 --> 00:11:09.950 you're important to this nation. Your vote matters. 00:11:10.490 --> 00:11:12.389 And you say, but I don't know who to vote for. 00:11:12.529 --> 00:11:15.289 Vote godly principles. If you are born again 00:11:15.289 --> 00:11:19.289 and you are a Christian, God came to set you 00:11:19.289 --> 00:11:22.029 free that you could go and be salt and light 00:11:22.029 --> 00:11:24.889 you know the scripture goes on and says in verse 00:11:24.889 --> 00:11:29.450 16 oh sorry 14 you are the light of the world 00:11:29.450 --> 00:11:32.429 a city set on a hill cannot be hid you know this 00:11:32.429 --> 00:11:36.190 our nation is the strongest nation we are the 00:11:36.190 --> 00:11:38.870 strongest nation in the world and guess what 00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:42.070 if we go down guess who else goes down every 00:11:42.070 --> 00:11:46.029 ally with us you know those that curse is real 00:11:46.190 --> 00:11:48.850 will be cursed by God. Those that bless Israel 00:11:48.850 --> 00:11:51.629 will be blessed by God. That's another reason 00:11:51.629 --> 00:11:54.509 we're blessed. We stand with Israel. Another 00:11:54.509 --> 00:11:56.610 reason we're blessed is because we send the Word 00:11:56.610 --> 00:11:58.990 of God through missionaries around the world. 00:11:59.429 --> 00:12:02.809 That's important to God.
