D. JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES PRESENTS
TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM.
WE ARE CALLED TO REMEMBRANCE,
TO REMEMBER HIM WHO HAS BLESSED THIS NATION
AND MADE IT GREAT.
THE PROBLEM WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA IS THAT HE'S TOTALLY
ABUSED THE CONSTITUTION, THERE'S REASON WHY
OUR FOUNDER'S PUT IN SEPARATION OF POWERS
THIS IS TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM.
♪
HELLO, I'M FRANK WRIGHT, AND WELCOME TO TRUTHS THAT
TRANSFORM, A VIEWER SUPPORTED OUTREACH OF
D. JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES.
MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR MINISTRY WEBSITE,
WHERE YOU CAN FIND A DEEP LIBRARY OF EXCELLENT
VIDEO, AUDIO, DIGITAL, AND PRINT RESOURCES.
IT'S ALL AVAILABLE AT:
IT MIGHT BE HARD TO BELIEVE NOW, BUT THERE
WAS A TIME IN AMERICA IN WHICH PEOPLE HARDLY
GAVE ANY THOUGHT AT ALL TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
IT SIMPLY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR DAILY LIVES.
THAT WAS BECAUSE GOVERNMENT POWER WAS
CONSTRAINED, DIVIDED AND DECENTRALIZED.
THE FOUNDERS KNEW THAT POWER TENDS TO CORRUPT,
BUT TODAY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS OVERRUN ITS
BOUNDARIES AND IS INVOLVED IN EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES.
THE DIVISIONS BETWEEN THE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT ARE
IGNORED, THE PRINCIPLE THAT STATES HAVE A SAY IN
THEIR OWN GOVERNANCE IS IGNORED, AND FREEDOM
IS THE CASUALTY.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA
TODAY?
I RECENTLY SAT DOWN WITH DR. TONY EVANS,
ONE OF AMERICA'S BEST KNOWN PASTORS,
TO DISCUSS THAT QUESTION.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT QUESTIONS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN SO
MANY WAYS, THIS IS A PRETTY IMPORTANT ELECTION,
ISN'T IT?
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SPEED AT WHICH THE CULTURE IS
CHANGING, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE REDEFINITIONS OF SOME
OF OUR MOST SACRED INSTITUTIONS, LEGALLY,
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DIVISION THAT KEEPS
BOILING UP ON, WHETHER ITS RACE, CLASS, POLITICAL,
AND THEN YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD WIDE SCENARIO OF
TERRORISM AND THE LIKE; WHEN YOU COALESCE ALL
THAT TOGETHER, IT'S A PRETTY DEEP CRISIS HOUR
IN OUR NATION.
WE LIVE IN A TIME WHEN SOME PEOPLE ARE USING THE
'T' WORD, YOU KNOW WE HAVE A TYRANNICAL JUDICIARY
THAT'S IMPOSING ITS WILL ON THE PEOPLE WITHOUT THE
BENEFIT OF LAWS BEING ENACTED.
WHAT'S YOUR VIEW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE
MARRIAGE CASE THAT THE SUPREME COURT RULED ON
LAST SUMMER AND THE IMPACT ON NOT JUST THE CULTURE
BUT EVEN ON THE CHURCH?
WHENEVER THE JUDICIAL BRANCH SEEKS TO OVERRULE
GOD, IT'S GOING TO BE A CONCERN FOR ME AND SHOULD
BE A CONCERN FOR ANY CHRISTIAN,
SINCE MARRIAGE IS A DIVINE INSTITUTION.
IT'S SUCCUMBING TO THE PRESSURE OF THE CULTURE,
AND THAT WHICH IS BECOME MORE AND MORE ACCEPTABLE.
BUT, I DID FEEL LIKE IT OVERSTEPPED ITS BOUND
BECAUSE IT TOOK IT OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE
BROADLY AND SO THAT WAS UNFORTUNATE.
NOW THE PROBLEM IS, FROM A THEOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW,
ROMANS 1 SAYS THAT WHEN YOU GIVE APPROVAL TO THAT
WHICH IS OUTSIDE THE WILL OF GOD,
YOU HAVE INCURRED THE GREATEST OF GOD'S WRATH.
SO WE'RE IN A POSITION NOW TO EXPERIENCE WHAT I CALL
THE PASSIVE WRATH OF GOD.
IT SAYS THREE TIMES, HE TURNED THEM OVER,
HE TURNED THEM OVER, HE TURNED THEM OVER.
HE RELEASED THEM TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR
CHOICES, AND SO WE'VE BEEN NOW RELEASED AND APART FROM
THE SPIRITUAL INVASION OF HEAVEN, WE'RE IN FOR SOME
REALLY TOUGH DAYS AHEAD BECAUSE ONCE GOD REMOVES
HIMSELF, YOU KNOW A SCRIPTURE I REGULARLY
USE IN THIS REGARD IS II CHRONICLES 15:3-6,
"IN THOSE DAYS THERE WAS NO TRUE GOD,
NO TEACHING PRIEST, NO LAW;
CITIZEN ROSE UP AGAINST CITIZEN,
NATION ROSE UP AGAINST NATION,
CITY ROSE UP AGAINST CITY."
AND THEN IT SAYS, "FOR GOD TROUBLED THEM
WITH EVERY KIND OF DISTRESS."
WHEN GOD IS YOUR PROBLEM, ONLY GOD IS YOUR SOLUTION.
WOW, ABSOLUTELY.
I'VE HEARD YOU SPEAK ON THIS BEFORE,
BUT ARE WE LOOKING AT A TIME WHEN CHRISTIANS ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO DECIDE ABOUT CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
BECAUSE OF THIS VERY THING, OF A GOVERNMENT
THAT IS NOW SANCTIONING THAT WHICH GOD JUDGES?
WELL, I THINK WE'RE AT THAT POINT, CHURCHES ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A STAND BECAUSE THAT'S
THE NEXT GOAL, IS TO FORCE THE CHURCH TO ACQUIESCE.
SO, RATHER THAN WAITING TILL WE ARE FORCED OUT,
WE NEED TO TAKE OUR STAND NOW.
WE NEED TO BE PROACTIVE, NOT NEARLY REACTIVE.
AND THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS
IS GOD'S STANDARDS, AND THIS IS AS FAR AS WE GO,
NO FURTHER.
SO, WE'RE ACTUALLY AT THAT POINT OF CHOOSING GOD OVER
CAESAR.
DO YOU SEE AN APPLICATION OF THE PARABLE WHEN JESUS
TALKED ABOUT THE SERVANT WHO SAID WE WILL NOT HAVE
THIS MAN TO RULE OVER US, ISN'T THAT REALLY WHAT
IT'S ALL ABOUT, IS THE KING OF GLORY GOING TO
RULE OVER US IN EVERY AREA OF OUR LIFE.
IS HE SOVEREIGN OVER ALL OF OUR LIVES OR HE'S
SOVEREIGN JUST OVER OUR SPIRITUAL SIDE OF OUR LIVES?
WE HAVE BEEN SO CULTURIZED AS CHRISTIANS,
AND SO SECULARIZED AS CHRISTIANS THAT JESUS
CHRIST HAS BEEN GIVEN THIS RELIGIOUS CATEGORY HERE,
AND THAT'S HIS SPACE, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE HE'S
HONORED IN THAT SPACE.
BUT OVER THE REST OF LIFE, HE KINDA COMES AND GOES AS
IS CONVENIENT AND AS IS NECESSARY.
HE'S A GREAT SPARE TIRE IN CASE LIFE GOES FLAT,
BUT IN TERMS OF US ROLLING ALL THE WEIGHT ALL THE
TIME UNDER HIS RULE, WE CALL THAT THE KINGDOM
AGENDA, THE VISIBLE DEMONSTRATION OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE RULE OF GOD OVER EVERY AREA OF LIFE,
THE INDIVIDUAL LIFE, THE FAMILY, THE CHURCH AND
GOVERNMENT BECAUSE GOD SAYS HE'S THE GOD OF GOVERNMENT.
FRANCIS SCHAEFFER 30 YEARS AGO SAID THERE'S A WINDOW
OF OPPORTUNITY THAT HAD OPENED FOR THE GOSPEL,
THAT WINDOW WON'T STAY OPEN FOREVER.
ARE WE AT THAT PLACE YET?
IS THAT WINDOW GONNA CLOSE ON US TO WHERE THE CHURCH
WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO BE THE CHURCH UNDER THE MOST
FIERY PERSECUTION IMAGINABLE?
FROM WHAT I CAN SEE, WE'RE ON THE EDGE.
THE SPEED WITH WHICH ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING- IT'S
NOT JUST HAPPENING IT'S HAPPENING AT WARP SPEED
AND A LOT OF THIS IS UNCONTROLLABLE SPEED.
YOU TAKE SOCIAL MEDIA AND ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE
HAPPENING, SO IT'S A RUN-AWAY TRAIN.
SO UNLESS THERE IS A RADICAL INVASION BY GOD,
A RADICAL INVASION, THAT'S WHY THE SOLOMON
WERE CALLED THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE- SOMETHING
RADICAL WAS NEEDED FROM HEAVEN TO HISTORY.
UNLESS THERE'S A RADICAL MOVEMENT I SEE NO OTHER
OPTION TAKING PLACE THEN THE ONE YOU JUST
DESCRIBED.
SO OUR JOB IS TO GET RADICAL WITH GOD;
IT'S GOD'S JOB TO RESPOND TO THAT AS HE CHOOSES.
IN THESE DAYS WHEN UNGODLY VALUES ARE BEING ADOPTED-
AND ENFORCED BY GOVERNMENT FIAT AT SEEMINGLY LIGHT
SPEED- IT'S NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE
TURN TO GOD.
THE LORD NOT ONLY BRINGS RIGHTEOUSNESS- HE BRINGS
LIBERTY AND PEACE.
A NATION FOUNDED ON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES LED
TO TREMENDOUS FREEDOM- AND A NATION TURNING AWAY FROM
GOD SEES THAT FREEDOM DISAPPEARING.
MY FRIEND DR. D. JAMES KENNEDY SHARES THE
PRESCRIPTION FOR THIS DISEASE IN THIS PORTION
OF HIS MESSAGE, "A NATION WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD."
I'M SURE WE'RE ALL AWARE OF THE FACT THAT AMERICA
HAS MANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
THEY INCLUDE AN EPIDEMIC OF DRUGS, ALCOHOLISM,
RAMPANT ABORTION, PERVERSION OF EVERY KIND,
SEXUAL PROMISCUITY, STD'S.
TERRORISM THREATENING OUR LIVES, FILMS AND
TELEVISIONS THAT PROMOTE EVERY KIND OF WICKEDNESS
IMAGINABLE; AND A PRESS THAT DOES NOT SEEM CAPABLE
TO MANAGE TO COME DOWN ON THE MORAL SIDE OF
ALMOST ANY ISSUE.
AFTER ALL, WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT LONG LITANY
OF PROBLEMS THAT I MENTIONED, IF YOU-
AND BY THE WAY, MANY I DIDN'T MENTION- BUT IF
YOU WERE TO BOIL THEM ALL DOWN, YOU PROBABLY
WOULD DISCOVER, IF YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT,
THERE IS ONLY ONE.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM IN AMERICA?
IT IS SIN.
ALL THOSE THINGS WERE SIN.
AND WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
WHAT IS IT THAT CAN, WHAT SOLVENT CAN TAKE AWAY THAT
BLOTCH ON THE ESCUTCHEON OF AMERICAN LIFE AND HONOR?
ONLY ONE THING- THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID: IT IS THE DUTY OF NATIONS AS
WELL AS OF MEN, TO OWN THEIR DEPENDENCE UPON THE
OVERRIDING POWER OF GOD, TO CONFESS THEIR SINS
AND TRANSGRESSIONS IN HUMBLE SORROW, YET
WITH THE ASSURED HOPE THAT GENUINE REPENTANCE
WILL LEAD TO MERCY AND PARDON; AND TO RECOGNIZE
THE SUBLIME TRUTH, ANNOUNCED IN THE HOLY
SCRIPTURES THAT THAT NATION ONLY IS BLESSED
WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD.
AND SO IN ALL OF THIS, AGAIN WE ARE CALLED TO
REMEMBRANCE- TO REMEMBER HIM WHO HAS BLESSED THIS
NATION AND MADE IT GREAT, THAT WE BE NOT AS THOSE IN
LINCOLN'S DAY OF WHOM HE SAID: INTOXICATED WITH
UNBROKEN SUCCESS, WE HAVE BECOME ALL TOO
SELF-SUFFICIENT TO FEEL THE NECESSITY OF REDEEMING
AND PRESERVING GRACE, TOO PROUD TO PRAY TO THE GOD
THAT MADE US!
IT BEHOOVES US, THEN, TO HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE
THE OFFENDED POWER, TO CONFESS OUR NATIONAL SINS,
AND TO PRAY FOR CLEMENCY AND FORGIVENESS."
DEAR FRIENDS, IF THAT WAS TRUE IN LINCOLN'S DAY,
HOW VASTLY MORE TRUE IS IT IN OUR DAY,
WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW MUCH FARTHER THIS NATION HAS SUNK
INTO SIN AND IMMORALITY AND UNGODLINESS.
I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE DECLINE FROM THE
GREAT SPIRITUAL HERITAGE THAT WE HAD WAS BROUGHT
ABOUT BY PEOPLE- PEOPLE WHO CARED ENOUGH IN THEIR
WICKEDNESS TO WANT TO TEAR DOWN THE CHRISTIAN
FOUNDATIONS OF THIS COUNTRY.
ARE THERE PEOPLE WHO CARE ENOUGH FOR THEM THAT THEY
WANT TO BUILD THEM UP?
THERE IS THE DIVINE AND BIBLICAL PRESCRIPTION,
WHERE GOD SAYS THAT "IF I SHOULD CLOSE HEAVEN AND
SEND NO RAIN, IF I COMMAND THE LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE
LAND, IF I SEND PESTILENCE AMONG THY PEOPLE."
DID YOU NOTICE THE PRONOUNS?
I.
THESE WERE NOT CHANCE OCCURRENCES.
THESE WERE NOT ACCIDENTS.
THESE WERE NOT HAPPENSTANCES.
THESE WERE THE DIRECT ACTS OF A SOVEREIGN GOD WHO WAS
DISPLEASED AT THE TIME OF THAT BY THE UNGODLINESS OF
HIS PEOPLE, AND THEREFORE, HE ACTED.
THE SECULARS CANNOT UNDERSTAND THAT.
IT WOULD ALL BE CHANCE.
BUT GOD MAKES IT CLEAR.
"IF I DO THIS."
THEN HE SAYS, "IF," NOW HE IS REFERRING TO US
"IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,
SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY."
WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT AS LINCOLN SAID THAT WE
HAVE BECOME ALL TOO PROUD BY OUR CONTINUING SUCCESS.
WE NEED TO HUMBLE OURSELVES AND CONFESS
OUR OWN SINS AND OUR OWN WORTHINESS AND REPENT OF
THOSE SINS.
THEN HE SAYS, "IF THEY WILL TURN FROM THEIR
WICKED WAYS AND SEEK MY FACE."
IF YOU HAVE A BELOVED, YOU LOVE TO SEE THEIR FACE,
TO TELL THEM OF YOUR LOVE, AND IN THE CASE OF GOD,
OF OUR ADORATION, TO PRAISE HIM FOR ALL THAT HE
IS AND HE HAS DONE FOR US.
IF WE WILL DO THESE THINGS, HE SAYS,
"THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN,
AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SINS AND HEAL THEIR LAND."
DEAR FRIENDS, WHAT WE ARE ENGAGED IN NOW COULD GO ON
AND COULD GET WORSE FOR YEARS, OR IT CAN BE
CHANGED, IF GOD WILL SEE THAT RIGHT HERE THERE ARE
GODLY MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE DOING JUST WHAT HE SAID.
WILL YOU BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE?
WHEN AMERICA WAS COGNIZANT OF HER CHRISTIAN ROOTS,
FREEDOM ABOUNDED.
ONLY IN A NATION WITH A STRONG CHRISTIAN PRESENCE
WOULD A PRESIDENT LIKE ABRAHAM LINCOLN PUBLICLY
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PRIDE LEADS TO GOD'S JUDGMENT.
LINCOLN URGED HUMILITY AND SEEKING THE FACE OF GOD.
TODAY, THE PRESIDENCY COULD HARDLY BE CONSIDERED
AN OFFICE OF HUMILITY.
INSTEAD, FOR DECADES NOW THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH HAS
FUNCTIONED AS A SORT OF KING, LORDING THE
WILL OF THE PRESIDENT OVER THE PEOPLE.
JERRY NEWCOMBE HAS MORE.
BIG GOVERNMENT HAS TO GET BIGGER TO SURVIVE AND IT
HAS TO TAKE OVER EVERY ASPECT THAT CHALLENGES ITS
ILLEGITIMATE AUTHORITY.
THIS PRESIDENT HAS SPENT NEARLY 8 YEARS TEARING
DOWN THE VALUES HELD BY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS,
THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES AND CREATING THROUGH
CHAOS, REMOVING THOSE VALUES AND SUPPLANTING
HIS OWN SECULAR SOCIALIST VALUES.
WE HAVE A SITUATION NOW WHERE THE RULE OF LAW IS
DETERIORATING IN THE UNITED STATES FROM THE
VERY TOP LEVEL, FROM THE WHITE HOUSE,
THIS HAS A TRICKLE-DOWN EFFECT.
IF THERE'S ONE DOCTRINE THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF
AMERICA SEEMED TO AGREE UPON IS ONE REVEALED IN
THE BIBLE AND PROVEN BY ALL OF HISTORY- THAT MAN
IS A SINNER.
THEREFORE, POWER WAS TO BE SEPARATED INTO THREE
DISTINCT BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT.
AS JAMES MADISON, A KEY ARCHITECT OF THE
CONSTITUTION, ONCE PUT IT, "ALL MEN HAVING POWER
OUGHT TO BE DISTRUSTED."
EVERY SCHOOL CHILD KNOWS THERE ARE THREE BRANCHES
OF GOVERNMENT: IT WAS ONE OF THE GREAT WONDERS OF OUR
FOUNDING FATHERS TO HAVE THAT CHECKS AND BALANCES.
FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS WE'VE HAD AN ADMINISTRATION IN
WASHINGTON THAT BELIEVES THE THREE BRANCHES OF
GOVERNMENT ARE THE PRESIDENT, HIS PEN,
AND HIS TELEPHONE.
I'VE GOT A PEN AND I'VE GOT A PHONE,
AND I CAN USE THAT PEN TO SIGN EXECUTIVE
ORDERS AND TAKE EXECUTIVE ACTIONS AND ADMINISTRATIVE
ACTIONS THAT MOVE THE BALL FORWARD.
HE FAMOUSLY SAID NOT LONG AGO I.E. THAT IF I CAN'T
GET THE OTHER BRANCHES TO AGREE TO WHAT I WANT TO
DO, I WILL MERELY USE MY PEN, I'LL WRITE ORDERS
ORDERING THE COUNTRY TO DO VARIOUS THINGS:
OR I'LL PICK UP THE TELEPHONE AND ORDER
BUREAUCRATS TO INSIST ON CERTAIN THINGS.
CONSIDER FOR A MOMENT, A FEW EXAMPLES OF EXECUTIVE
OVERREACH BY THIS ADMINISTRATION.
CONGRESS VOTED AGAINST THE DREAM ACT,
BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN BY-PASSING CONGRESS.
THIS HAS SENT SIGNALS TO THOUSANDS SOUTH OF THE
BORDER, WHO ARE UPROOTING THEMSELVES AND THEIR
FAMILIES TO TRY TO GET A CHANCE AT THE AMERICAN
DREAM- EVEN AT THE RISK OF THEIR LIVES.
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS BEEN PURSUING A PROGRAM OF
DEMOGRAPHIC, IF YOU WILL FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION
OF THE UNITED STATES.
THIS IS NOT SIMPLY THE MUSLIM MIGRATION HERE BUT
IT'S OBVIOUSLY THE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
WHO'VE COME ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER FROM
PLACES IN LATIN AMERICA AND CENTRAL AMERICA.
WHILE CONGRESS HAS REJECTED CAP-AND-TRADE
AND ALL OTHER MEASURES TO FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING
BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON
GLOBAL TEMPERATURE BUT WOULD COST HUNDREDS OF
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF JOBS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS USING
EPA REGULATION, THE SO-CALLED "CLEAN POWER
PLAN," TO FORCE STATES TO DO IT ANYWAY.
SO THE PRESIDENT NOW ISSUES EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
HE'S GOT THESE SUPPOSED INDEPENDENT AGENCIES
TAKING OVER AND PUTTING PURSUING POLITICAL AGENDAS
WHETHER IT'S DESTROYING THE COAL INDUSTRY BECAUSE
OF IDEOLOGICAL REASONS, RAISING A JIHAD AGAINST
THE COAL INDUSTRY NOT TO MENTION OIL AND GAS.
AN EGREGIOUS EXAMPLE OF GOVERNMENT OVERREACH CAN
BE SEEN IN THE IRS SCANDAL, WHICH LEFT
THE HEADLINES LONG AGO, BUT THIS ISSUE WAS
NEVER REALLY RESOLVED.
ONE COULD ONLY WONDER HOW THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE
REACTED HAD THIS BEEN A CONSERVATIVE ADMINISTRATION.
WELL THE IRS SCANDAL IS ONE OF THE WORST IN
AMERICAN HISTORY.
HERE YOU HAVE THE MOST FEARED AGENCY OF
GOVERNMENT- BECAUSE IT GOES RIGHT INTO YOUR OWN
FINANCIAL RECORDS DOWN TO THE MINUTEST DETAIL- USING
THEIR POWERS TO CRUSH POLITICAL OPPOSITION IN
THIS COUNTRY LIKE IT'S A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.
AND THEN THERE'S THE MATTER OF OBAMACARE-
WHICH, EVERYONE SHOULD REMEMBER,
WAS NOT GOING TO PASS UNTIL THE PRESIDENT
PROMISED THAT OBAMACARE WOULD NOT COVER ABORTION.
BUT DESPITE THE PROMISE, PART OF THE HHS MANDATE
WITHIN OBAMACARE FORCED EMPLOYERS TO PAY FOR
CONTRACEPTIVES, INCLUDING FOUR TYPES OF
ABORTION-INDUCING DRUGS.
THIS RAN A FOAL OF THE CONSCIENCE OF MANY
CHRISTIAN EMPLOYERS.
LOOK THE HHS MANDATES ARE NOT ABOUT HEALTHCARE
THEY'RE ABOUT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO DECIDE WHICH PARTS OF THE
FIRST AMENDMENT ARE GOING TO BE APPLICABLE AND WHICH
PARTS AREN'T, AND WHICH PARTS THEY'RE GOING TO
RESPECT, AND WHICH PARTS THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
RESPECT IS NOT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
IT'S A SHAME THAT DESPITE THE HOBBY LOBBY RULING,
DESPITE WHAT THE FIRST AMENDMENT CLEARLY SAYS
THAT WE HAVE A TYRANNICAL ADMINISTRATION THAT WOULD
FORCE A GROUP OF NUNS TO ENGAGE IN BEHAVIOR AND TO
SUPPORT AND PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS
ABHORRENT TO THEM, THE MURDER OF PRECIOUS
LITTLE BABIES.
CRITICS NOTE THAT WHAT IS NEEDED IN THIS COUNTRY,
PARTICULARLY AS SEEN IN EXAMPLE AFTER EXAMPLE OF
EXECUTIVE OVERREACH, IS A RESPECT FOR THE RULE OF
LAW AND A RETURN TO GOVERNING UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION.
WELL THE PROBLEM WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA IS THAT
HE'S TOTALLY ABUSED THE CONSTITUTION,
THERE'S REASON WHY OUR FOUNDER'S PUT IN
SEPARATION OF POWERS THEY DIDN'T TRUST ANYONE THEY
DISTRUSTED EMOTIONS AND THEY KNEW THEY HAD THE
GREAT MYSTERY OF GOVERNMENTS WHICH IS YOU
WANT A GOVERNMENT STRONG ENOUGH TO SECURE YOUR
BORDERS, STRONG ENOUGH TO HAVE INTERNAL ORDER BUT
NOT TOO STRONG SO IT CAN OPPRESS THE PEOPLE.
WE HAVE TO WORK AGGRESSIVELY,
TO SHRINK THE SIZE OF THE STATE AND THIS PHILOSOPHY
AND IDEOLOGY OF STATISM AND MOVE US BACK TO BEING
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, IN WHICH WE HAVE THE FREEDOM
TO EXERCISE OUR RELIGION, BECAUSE THE FUTURE OF OUR
COUNTRY, AS RONALD REAGAN SAID,
"IF WE EVER CEASE TO BE ONE NATION UNDER GOD,
WE WILL BE A NATION GONE UNDER."
WHEN PRESIDENTS THINK THEY HAVE A MANDATE TO
"FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM" AMERICA, OUR LIBERTIES
ARE AT GREAT RISK.
AND THIS ELECTION CYCLE IS RAISING EVEN MORE CONCERNS
IN THAT DIRECTION.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL BOUNDARIES OF GOVERNMENT-
AND THE THREAT TO FREEDOM THAT COMES WHEN THEY'RE
DISREGARDED- HAS BEEN ALMOST COMPLETELY IGNORED
BY THE MAJOR PARTIES' PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEES.
THESE ARE TROUBLING TIMES IN AMERICA- AND WE'VE
REACHED A WATERSHED.
MY FRIEND JENNIFER KENNEDY CASSIDY IS HERE TO SHARE
TWO RESOURCES TO HELP YOU IN THIS IMPORTANT TIME OF
CHOOSING.
JENNIFER WELCOME.
THANKS FRANK.
WHEN WE LOOK AROUND TO SEE HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN
OUR NATION, EVEN JUST IN THE PAST TEN YEARS,
IT SEEMS LIKE WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY GONE MAD.
AN AVOWED SOCIALIST CANDIDATE MAKES A SERIOUS
RUN FOR PRESIDENT, DEPARTMENT STORE CHAINS
OPEN THEIR LADIES ROOMS TO MEN WHO IDENTIFY AS
FEMALE, AND THE GOVERNMENT SUES CHRISTIAN EMPLOYERS
WHO REFUSE TO PAY FOR ABORTION-CAUSING
CONTRACEPTIVES.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW CAN WE GET BACK?

PERHAPS NO NATION IN HISTORY HAS BEEN FREER
THAN ANCIENT ISRAEL.
RULED WITH PERFECT JUSTICE BY GOD ALONE,
THEY HAD COMMANDMENTS THAT LED TO FLOURISHING AND TO
LIBERTY.
BUT BECAUSE OF REBELLION IN THE LAND,
ONE OF THE JUDGMENTS GOD VISITED UPON ISRAEL WAS
GIVING THEM THE HUMAN KING THEY DEMANDED.
THIS KING, GOD PROMISED, WOULD CONSCRIPT THEIR
CHILDREN, TAKE THEIR PROPERTY FOR THE KINGS OWN
USE AND CONFISCATE 10% OF THEIR FIRST FRUITS.
AMERICA ALSO BEGAN IN FREEDOM.
THE FOUNDERS BUILT A FREE NATION BASED ON LIMITED
GOVERNMENT AND SELF-REGULATION.
BUT AMERICANS AS A PEOPLE HAVE REBELLED,
EXCHANGING TRUE FREEDOM FOR THE COUNTERFEIT
FREEDOM PROMISED BY SEXUAL PROMISCUITY,
GENDER CONFUSION, AND GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS.
AND LIKE ANCIENT ISRAEL, WE NOW HAVE A GOVERNMENT
THAT ACTS AS KING OVER US, TAKING OUR PROPERTY AT
WILL AND FORCING OUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE
SEXUAL REVOLUTION.
PERHAPS THE WORST PART IS THAT, LIKE ANCIENT ISRAEL,
THIS JUDGMENT HAS COME AT OUR OWN REQUEST.
IN AMERICA, THE SYSTEM WE HAVE ESSENTIALLY GRANTS US
THE GOVERNMENT WE CHOOSE.
IF THERE WERE STRONG CHRISTIANS IN EVERY AREA
OF GOVERNMENT STANDING UP FOR LIBERTY AND
CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER, THINGS MIGHT LOOK QUITE
DIFFERENT.
TIME IS NOW SHORT, AND FREEDOM LOST IS RARELY
REGAINED.
THE NEED OF THE DAY IS FOR CHRISTIANS,
INFORMED BY THE BIBLE, GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT,
AND COURAGEOUS FOR THE TRUTH,
WHO WILL ENTER THE HALLS OF GOVERNMENT FROM THE
LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD TO THE US CAPITOL AND SAY
"NO MORE."
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WILL YOU BE A CHRISTIAN WHO CAPITULATES TO THE
SPIRIT OF THE AGE?
OR ONE LIKE DANIEL WHO WILL STAND FOR GOD AND
TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT THE COST?
THE VERY FUTURE OF AMERICA MAY DEPEND ON YOUR ANSWER
TO THAT QUESTION.
I'M FRANK WRIGHT.
THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THIS EDITION OF TRUTHS
THAT TRANSFORM; WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
NEXT WEEK ON TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM.
BEFORE THE STATE, BEFORE THE CHURCH,
GOD CREATED THE OLDEST INSTITUTION ON THIS
PLANET, AND THAT IS THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE.
AFTER THE SUPREME COURT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE DECISION,
AND IN LIGHT OF THE SEXUAL ORIENTATION GENDER IDENTITY
ORDINANCES, PASTORS FRANKLY ARE FEARFUL.
THAT'S NEXT WEEK.
TODAY'S PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ON DVD FOR YOUR
GIFT TO THIS MINISTRY OF ANY AMOUNT.
