Today's readings hold together suffering, simplicity, and the unmistakable power of Christ.In Genesis 38, we step into a messy and morally complicated chapter in Judah's life. Deception, injustice, and hidden sin unfold—but so does unexpected courage and eventual acknowledgment of wrongdoing. Even within fractured family lines and flawed decisions, God is quietly preserving the lineage through which His redemptive plan will move forward. Grace works in places we would rather skip.In 1 Corinthians 2:1–13, Paul reminds the church that the gospel did not come with eloquence or impressive rhetoric, but with a simple proclamation: Christ crucified. True wisdom is revealed by the Spirit, not discovered by human brilliance. The deepest truths of God are spiritually discerned, not intellectually mastered.And in Mark 1:29–45, Jesus heals Peter's mother-in-law, cleanses a leper, and ministers to crowds in need. His authority is not distant—it is compassionate and near. He touches the untouchable and restores the forgotten. Yet He also withdraws to pray, anchored in communion with the Father.This episode invites us to trust God in the hidden chapters, to depend on the Spirit for true understanding, and to draw near to the compassionate Savior whose power restores and whose purposes never fail.

Sons Of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean Restoring the Standard: Impeachment, Accountability, and the Rule of Law Sons of Liberty: The Impeachment Doctrine Analysis of Constitutional Justice, Political Accountability, and the Minnesota Impeachment Movement. Broadcast: 55min Core Philosophy "No man is above the law, and no man is below it... Resignation is not justice; it is permission to live above the law." 3 Purposes of Gov • Maintain righteous cause • Preserve social order • Condemn the wicked The "Divide" Trap The "Right vs. Left" narrative is a created language designed to make lies sound truthful and ensure "Divide and Conquer." Historical Precedents 1868 A. Johnson: 11 Articles 1974 Nixon: Resigned (Watergate) 1998 Clinton: Impeached (Chinagate) Key Participants Bradley Dean (Host) Sen. Eric Lucero (MN Senate) Pam Altendorf (Voter Integrity) Current Targets Tim WalzImpeachment Keith EllisonInvestigation Illegal Aid$66M Fund Keywords #Constitution #Treason #MNLeg #BiblicalWorldview Source: Sons of Liberty Radio (2026-02-24) Target Audience: Constitutionalists & Patriots This broadcast examines the constitutional necessity of holding public officials accountable, asserting that no individual is above the law. Host Bradley Dean and Senator Eric Lucero discuss the mechanics of impeachment and the current legislative battles in Minnesota regarding the prioritization of citizens over non-citizens. The program emphasizes the role of "We the People" in maintaining a just society through active civic engagement and adherence to a moral, constitutional framework. The Constitutional Mandate for Accountability The foundational principle of American governance is that the law serves as a master rather than a servant to those in power. Drawing on Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, the broadcast highlights that the President, Vice President, and all civil officers must be removed from office upon impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. Historical precedents, such as the impeachment of Andrew Johnson in 1868 and the resignation of Richard Nixon, serve as reminders that resignation is often insufficient when criminal conduct has occurred; true justice requires prosecution to prevent the law from being treated as a suggestion. The host argues that the current political climate often replaces this standard with a "resign and forget" culture that insults the very laws officials are sworn to uphold. The Impeachment Framework The Charge The House of Representatives files charges of misconduct (Impeachment). The Trial The Senate acts as a court to try the case; conviction requires a 2/3 vote. The Result Removal from office and potential disqualification from future positions. Legislative Conflict and the "Lawful Status" Debate Senator Eric Lucero reports on recent developments within the Minnesota Housing Committee regarding a $66 million appropriation for rental assistance. Lucero introduced an amendment seeking to restrict these funds to individuals with "lawful status" within the United States, a proposal that was ultimately rejected by the committee. This legislative friction underscores a broader concern presented in the broadcast: that current administrations are prioritizing special interest groups and non-citizens over the taxpayers they are sworn to represent. The host characterizes this as a form of "aiding and abetting" that undermines the security and financial integrity of the state. The Moral Duty and the Legacy of Sacrifice The program bridges the gap between modern politics and historical sacrifice, referencing the hallowed grounds of Arlington Cemetery and the "gratitude" owed to those who died for American freedoms. The host argues that tolerating corruption in government is a desecration of the blood shed by veterans. By invoking the "English Common Law" and the biblical purposes of government—to condemn the wicked and justify the righteous—the broadcast calls for a rejection of the "right vs. left" paradigm. Instead, it advocates for a return to a "righteous order" where the law is applied equally to all, regardless of political affiliation or status. Three Purposes of Government Based on Deuteronomy 25:1 and Common Law principles: 1Maintain Order: To restrain men from violating moral laws. 2Condemn the Wicked: To ensure criminals face consequences. 3Justify the Righteous: To protect and uphold those who obey the law. Key Data $66 Million: The amount proposed for the general fund appropriation for rental assistance in Minnesota. $19 Billion: The upper estimate of alleged fraud mentioned in relation to current administrative oversight. 1868: The year of President Andrew Johnson's impeachment. 11 Articles: The number of articles of impeachment adapted against Andrew Johnson. To-Do / Next Steps Support the ongoing efforts to draw up and advance articles of impeachment against Tim Walz and Keith Ellison. Volunteer for active community advocacy, including door knocking and phone calling, to persuade hearts and minds before the November elections. Attend or stream the Sunday morning service at 9:00 AM Central Time focusing on fasting, prayer, and spiritual discipline. Consider partnering financially with the organization to sustain the broadcast and its outreach efforts. Conclusion The broadcast serves as a clarion call for constitutional literacy and moral courage. It posits that the survival of the Republic depends not on political parties, but on a citizenry that demands justice, honors the sacrifices of the past, and refuses to allow its representatives to live above the laws they were elected to uphold.

In part one of this interview with Pastor Larry McCarthy, Pastor Erwin Lutzer reveals the theological errors of the "Name-it, Claim-it.". Move from demanding to seeking intimacy with God.

What does the cursed fig tree have to do with prayer, faith, and judgment?In Mark 11:12–25, Jesus curses a fig tree, cleanses the temple, and then teaches one of the most powerful lessons on biblical faith and prayer. This wasn't random. It was prophetic.The fig tree represented Israel — full of leaves but empty of fruit. Outward religion. No inward reality.And the warning is clear: If there is no fruit, there will be judgment.But Jesus doesn't stop there. He moves from warning to instruction:“Have faith in God.” (Mark 11:22)In this sermon, we explore:✔️ What Biblical Faith Really Is ✔️ Faith in God's Person, Promises, Power, and Purposes ✔️ Why Prayer Is Not a Blank Check ✔️ What It Means to Move Mountains ✔️ How to Align Your Will With God's Will ✔️ The Danger of Fruitless ChristianityFaith is not: Faith in feelingsFaith in outcomes Faith in faithFaith is confidence in the character and Word of God.This message will challenge religious routine and call you back to authentic, fruit-bearing faith rooted in Scripture.

Pastor Derek explores the 2 Ascensions of Christ. First He ascended on the morning of His resurrection after appearing to Mary Magdalene (John 20:17), and again 40 days later, as described in Acts 1, after which He sat down at God's right hand. The 4 Purposes for His 1st Ascension: *1. To fulfil the Feast of First Fruits on the day of His resurrection (1Corinthians 15:20-23). *2. To present His BLOOD in the heavenly holy of holies, to establish the New Covenant (Hebrews 9:12). *3. To receive ALL AUTHORITY (Matthew 28:18, Daniel 7:13-14, Philippians 2:9-11): *4. To receive the SPIRIT on our behalf, to give to His people (Acts 2:33). That is why He could impart the Spirit to His apostles later on the same day He rose again (John 20:22).

I recently had a conversation with a young minister about the ministry of a church in the area.  The church was struggling to reach young people, even though they offered a variety of good, bible-centered ministries in the community.  The organization was ‘off' in some ways, and there were those in the congregation who were resistant to change, particularly younger members who were unlikely to make meaningful financial contributions.  We talked about the issues of faith and obedience, as well as the struggle to get people to change things in the church from ‘the ways they have always been.'  The younger minister was a little angry and was considering leaving his place of service because people would not change.  I encouraged him to be patient and to give people time to consider the change needs he was talking about. I knew from my 45 years of experience that most in the church wanted their church to do well and to do the right thing.  It was a difficult discussion, because I knew how he was feeling; it can be very difficult, and even frustrating, to minister in a church with normal people who had different values!   Here is what the Apostle Paul wrote centuries ago, as he was dealing with the church in Ephesus, which was struggling with the very issues of church ministry, and how varying priorities and levels of spiritual maturity can cause real problems!   17 So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; 19 and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. 20 But you did not learn Christ in this way, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22 that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, 23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. Ephesians 4:17-14   As you read these words, you can tell that Paul is dealing with a church struggling with people who have different values and lifestyles, which are hindering the church's work!  His words were direct and to the point:    First, the “Gentiles”  were those in the area who were resisting Christian teachings.  He did not criticize them; he just gave an assessment – they were not acting like Christians!  They had turned towards a pagan lifestyle, sensual and characterized by sin. They were not interested in the ideas of the Christian faith.  Because of this, they were separated from God by their sin.    Second, Paul challenges the church in Ephesus by saying in v.20, “But you did not learn Christ in this way.”  He reminded them of what they had been taught, and that because they had been saved through Jesus, they were to live differently.  They were to “lay aside the old self,” which meant giving up their old ways of life, and they were to “be renewed in the spirit of your mind.”  Following Jesus meant changing their thoughts, values, and actions!  The Christian life was more than just ‘getting saved' and going to church; it was, and is, to be a daily endeavor, where those who claim to be “in Christ” routinely change their thoughts and behaviors to those that would fall in line with the biblical teachings they had received.   Over 2,000 years later, nothing has changed!  The Christian life is a matter of faith, of course, and is based upon the cleansing work of Jesus in our hearts.  After that process occurs as we claim him as Savior, God fully expects us to submit to His instructions, every day and in every way.  That is called “discipleship,” and is the way in which God changes us, and forms us into “new creatures in Christ,” and enables us to “be renewed in the spirit of your mind.”   Let me encourage you to follow Jesus, as you receive him into your heart, and, after that, live your life for him.  It is the very best thing you can do with your life!    The best way you can support our ministry is by sharing this video with your friends and family!

Three reasons to put all your trust in God. 1. The Person of God Does Not Change 2. The Purposes of God Do Not Change 3. The Promises of God Do Not Change

Jesus appeared in the world for two reasons: to help us stop sinning, and to satisfy God's anger when we do sin.
