If idolatry can be defined as anything we choose to place above reality itself, then politics would be a serious contender for one of our favorite idols. Chuck Baldwin says America has only two religions, Democrat and Republican. John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute points out that it's getting harder to ignore the sense that politics has become our de facto national religion. Article of the Day: This article is a must read if you're not familiar with the term "whole-of-society." Dr. Aaron Kheriaty has a solid explanation of how government partners with the institutions of civil society to consolidate its control.

It's Friday, December 15th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) U.S. Muslim family arrested, accused of beating son who converted to Christianity A Muslim family was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee, after a juvenile victim told authorities his mother, father, and brother attacked him for converting to the Christian faith, reports FaithWire.com. According to an arrest warrant, the boy was purportedly punched in the face and spit at by his mother, father, and brother; the mother is also accused of scratching the back of one of the victim's hands with a knife, reports WZTV. During the attack, the young man was allegedly urged to renounce his Christian beliefs and proclaim Islam. Authorities became aware of the situation after his employer reportedly expressed concern. When police arrived for a welfare check on December 11th, they found the boy with injuries, including lumps on his face and scratches. The young man was transported to the hospital. Meanwhile, the 57-year-old father, Nick Kadum, the 46-year-old mother, Rawaa, and their 29-year-old son, John, were charged over the incident. In John 15:18-19, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.” Hamas' plot against Europe foiled Yesterday, German police arrested three suspected members of Hamas in Berlin accused of preparing an attack against Jewish targets in Europe, reports The Daily Mail. German prosecutors said the three men, along with another suspect arrested in the Netherlands, were said to have begun preparing a weapons cache in the German capital where arms would be “kept in a state of readiness in view of potential terrorist attacks against Jewish institutions in Europe.” News of these arrests came after Danish authorities said they too had prevented a terror attack, arresting three more suspects.  Biden forgives another $4.8 billion in student debt On December 6th, the Biden administration announced that it would forgive an additional $4.8 billion in student loan debt for 80,300 borrowers, bringing the total taxpayer burden to $132 billion, reports The Epoch Times. President Biden said, "I won't back down from using every tool at our disposal to get student loan borrowers the relief they need to reach their dreams.” His administration is undeterred by the recent Supreme Court decision to block a wide-ranging initiative to cancel up to $20,000 in debt per student. Powerful pre-Christmas storm to pound 20 states Christmas travel is getting underway this weekend, but the FOX Forecast Center is tracking a powerful pre-holiday storm that will impact millions in at least 20 states as it slides up the East Coast this weekend and into early next week, slamming the region with heavy rain and strong wind. So, if you're among the more than 115 million Americans expected to travel 50 miles or more this Christmas season, you'll want to prepare for delays on the roads and at some of our nation's busiest airports if your travels take you to the East. Surprising number of men & women open to multiple partners or spouses So much for monogamy. A new study by researchers from Swansea University in the United Kingdom reveals that a third of men and one in 10 women are open to having more than one romantic partner — at the same time, reports StudyFinds.org. The study, which involved 393 heterosexual men and women, uncovered varying levels of “openness” to these arrangements. Approximately 33 percent of men surveyed in the U.K. expressed a willingness to consider the idea of having more than one wife or long-term girlfriend in a committed partnership if it were legal and consensual. By contrast, only 11 percent of women indicated a similar openness to the concept of polygamous faux marriage. Hebrews 13:4 says, “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” Census now demanding "sex at birth" and "current gender" The U.S. Census Bureau is adding demands for every person in households to reveal their "sex at birth" and their "current gender," as if that could be changed, reports WorldNetDaily.com. The additions have prompted a warning about the ongoing loss of privacy Americans are sustaining. John Whitehead, a constitutional attorney and chief of The Rutherford Institute, warned, "The potential for abuse is grave." The newest problem concerns the "mandatory" American Community Survey, which is sent to households monthly. This is in addition to the census done every 10 years to estimate the population of the nation, its states and cities. The Rutherford Institute has posted online a form letter of complaint through which citizens can complain to census officials about the questions. Christian group uplifting families devastated by Hamas And finally, a Christian organization is working to help an Israeli agricultural community described in the Bible as a resting place for King David's warriors that was left devastated in the aftermath of Hamas' terrorist attacks, reports The Christian Post.  CityServe is a non-profit that mobilizes local churches and partnering organizations to bring relief to communities left devastated by war or natural disasters.  CityServe's Vice President of Government Relations, Todd Lamphere, explained that standing with Israel is one of the organization's 10 initiatives for creating community transformation.  CityServe is investing in Ein HaBesor, an Israeli agricultural community -- near the Gaza border that accounts for over 60% of Israel's produce. Hamas terrorists attacked the community during its October 7 strike in southern Israel, killing at least 1,200 people, including 31 Americans.  Consider making a donation yourself through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

On today's show, former attorney Chris Crowley tells the story of how his license to practice law was placed in jeopardy over the public comments he made about an opposing candidate when he was running for the position of the State of Florida's State Attorney, and the sneaky tactic his opponent used of filing complaints with The Florida Bar to ultimately attack his livelihood. Chris warns that the same thing could happen to any licensed professional. Chris also comments on the current state of politics in Florida, the 2024 presidential election and more. GUEST OVERVIEW: Chris Crowley is an attorney, a decorated Gulf War veteran who served in Iraq and Kuwait and was a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve for twenty years, and was a 2018 candidate for Florida's 20th Judicial State Attorney position. He is fighting a defamation charge with the help of The Rutherford Institute. https://twitter.com/ChrisCrowley999  

In this segment, we share a podcast segment with John W. Whitehead, who is the president of The Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit civil liberties organization, who is representing his client, Rich Penkoski, who was slapped with a five-year restraining order that prevents him from protesting online or in person the activities of an LGBT organization in Oklahoma. In this segment, we discuss how this trial could spell big trouble for preachers online in the near future.

John Whitehead is a civil attorney and author who has written, debated and practiced widely in the area of constitutional law and human rights for the persecuted and oppressed. In 1982 he founded The Rutherford Institute, a non-profit civil liberties and human rights organization headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Institute provides legal services to defend civil liberties and programs to educate the public on issues affecting their Constitutional freedoms. John gained international renown for his role as co-counsel in Paula Jones' sexual harassment lawsuit against President Clinton. He has filed numerous amicus briefs before the U.S. Supreme Court and has been co-counsel in several landmark Supreme Court cases.  John has been the subject of many newspaper, magazine and television profiles, ranging from Gentleman's Quarterly to CBS' 60 Minutes.  He is the author of “Battlefield America: The War on the American People," and  "Government of Wolves: The Emerging Government Police State." John's weekly articles and column can be found on his website at Rutherford.org. 

Publication date 2013-12-05 The term "prison-industrial complex" (PIC) is used to attribute the rapid expansion of the US inmate population to the political influence of private prison companies and businesses that supply goods and services to government prison agencies. The term is derived from the "military-industrial complex" of the 1950s. Such groups include corporations that contract prison labor, construction companies, surveillance technology vendors, lawyers, and lobby groups that represent them. Activists[who?] have argued that the prison-industrial complex is perpetuating a flawed belief that imprisonment is an effective solution to social problems such as homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy. The term 'prison industrial complex' has been used to describe a similar issue in other countries' prisons of expanding populations. The promotion of prison-building as a job creator and the use of inmate labor are also cited as elements of the prison-industrial complex. The term often implies a network of actors who are motivated by making profit rather than solely by punishing or rehabilitating criminals or reducing crime rates. Proponents of this view, including civil rights organizations such as The Rutherford Institute and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), believe that the desire for monetary gain has led to the growth of the prison industry and the number of incarcerated individuals.

John Whitehead discusses the Deep State (the 7th Floor Group) and how the future of America and the world will become everything the great science fiction writers have prophesied. The collapse of the United States is akin to the collapse of the Roman Empire where we could very well see people being taken away and put to death. The coming of Singularity in 2029 and takeover of AI is very likely. We are very similar to Nazi Germany, the police state is expanding, and people need to get up and get active in their governments. We only have a small window of time left.

He's won numerous accolades and accomplishments, and in 1982 he founded the Rutherford Institute, which has become one of the leading advocates of civil liberties. He's author of the award-winning A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, and the best selling Battlefield America: The War On The American People. Also, The End of Man, published in 1986, but sounds like it was written yesterday. Mr. Whitehead, welcome to Geopolitics & Empire, which the Ron Paul Institute describes as "the real underground, where the real intellectual revolution is taking place." John Whitehead: Anyway, thank you sir for having me on. I appreciate it. Geopolitics & Empire: I do urge people to support the Rutherford Institute. I've got my Rutherford coffee mug, which I don't think you sell this one anymore, and I've got the pamphlets as well that you sell. I love the work you're doing, but let's get right into it. You recently wrote that, "Things are falling apart. How much longer we can sustain the fiction that we live in, the constitutional republic, I cannot say, but anarchy is being loosed upon the nation. We're witnessing the unraveling of the American dream one injustice at a time," end quote. Myself as a former history teacher, professor, I saw all of this coming. In the 2000s, a nation and republic in a downward spiral. Economic decline, spiritual decline, cultural degeneration, devolution into authoritarianism and tyranny. And it seems we've arrived. What's sort of the big picture here and where are we on the timeline? John Whitehead: Well, the government that we have in this country, and I've warned people for years about, is not what you think it is. It's a different type of government. There was an expansive study that came out of Princeton University in 2014, which studied 20 years of laws and policies passed in Washington, DC. The professors came to the conclusion that we live in what they call an auto [inaudible 00:01:55] elite in Washington, DC where all the money congregates. Washington, DC's basically run by, at the time they estimated 585 billionaires. It later became known as the Deep State. The Deep State is a group called the 7th Floor Gr...

We must not wait until it's too late. The surveillance state that has been built upon artificial intelligence technology will literally take away our privacy and even humanity if left unchecked. That is the warning from today's guest, John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute. Whitehead warns that our culture has never been more mentally and culturally groomed into this AI world, and we are most susceptible to allowing it to consume our privacy. He explains that the scope of the surveillance state in the U.S. is now second to China and is getting worse by the day. Unless we push for state and local electronic privacy bills of rights, we will eventually cease to function as human beings. I also tie in Whitehead's message with why I oppose any involvement over Taiwan, because we must first rid ourselves of China's control of our own government before we can save others.   Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today's show with a review of John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead's article from The Rutherford Institute, “The Rise of Global Fascism” (https://www.rutherford.org/publications_resources/john_whiteheads_commentary/the_rise_of_global_fascism_and_the_end_of_the_world_as_we_know_it) which in part reads: “This new world order—a global world order—made up of international government agencies and corporations owes its existence in large part to the U.S. government's deep-seated and, in many cases, top-secret alliances with foreign nations and global corporations. This powerful international cabal, let's call it the Global Deep State, is just as real as the corporatized, militarized, industrialized American Deep State, and it poses just as great a threat to our rights as individuals under the U.S. Constitution, if not greater.” The podcast closes with a plea to those involved in this movement to quickly understand the ramifications of their actions before the damage that is done to our society is irreversible. http://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: paypal.me/sovnations patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: sovereignnations.com/subscribe facebook.com/SovereignNations twitter.com/SovNations youtube.com/SovereignNations rumble.com/c/sovnations instagram.com/sovnations/ minds.com/sovnations?referrer=sovnations parler.com/profile/sovnations © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

QUESTION PRESENTED: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit's failure to apply the Supreme Court's forum doctrine to the First Amendment challenge of a private religious organization that was denied access to briefly display its flag on a city flagpole, pursuant to a city policy expressly designating the flagpole a public forum open to all applicants, with hundreds of approvals and no denials, conflicts with the Supreme Court's precedents holding that speech restrictions based on religious viewpoint or content violate the First Amendment or are otherwise subject to strict scrutiny and that the establishment clause is not a defense to censorship of private speech in a public forum open to all comers; whether the 1st Circuit's classifying as government speech the brief display of a private religious organization's flag on a city flagpole, pursuant to a city policy expressly designating the flagpole a public forum open to all applicants, with hundreds of approvals and no denials, unconstitutionally expands the government speech doctrine, in direct conflict with the court's decisions in Matal v. Tam, Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc. and Pleasant Grove City v. Summum; and  whether the 1st Circuit's finding that the requirement for perfunctory city approval of a proposed brief display of a private religious organization's flag on a city flagpole, pursuant to a city policy expressly designating the flagpole a public forum open to all applicants with hundreds of approvals and no denials, transforms the religious organization's private speech into government speech, conflicts with the Supreme Court's precedent in Matal v. Tam, and circuit court precedents in New Hope Family Services, Inc. v. Poole, Wandering Dago, Inc. v. Destito, Eagle Point Education Association v. Jackson County School District and Robb v. Hungerbeeler. Date                   Proceedings and Orders (key to color coding)Jun 21 2021 | Petition for a writ of certiorari filed.

QUESTION PRESENTED:This case presents a clear and intractable conflict regarding an important jurisdictional qNew York prohibits its ordinary law-abiding citizens from carrying a handgun outside the home without a license, and it denies licenses to every citizen who fails to convince the state that he or she has “proper cause” to carry a firearm. In District of Columbia v. Heller, this Court held that the Second Amendment protects “the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation,” 554 U.S. 570, 592 (2008), and in McDonald v. City of Chicago, the Court held that this right “is fully applicable to the States,” 561 U.S. 742, 750 (2010). For more than a decade since then, numerous courts of appeals have squarely divided on this critical question: whether the Second Amendment allows the government to deprive ordinary law-abiding citizens of the right to possess and carry a handgun outside the home. This circuit split is open and acknowledged, and it is squarely presented by this petition, in which the Second Circuit affirmed the constitutionality of a New York regime that prohibits law-abiding individuals from carrying a handgun unless they first demonstrate some form of “proper cause” that distinguishes them from the body of “the people” protected by the Second Amendment. The time has come for this Court to resolve this critical constitutional impasse and reaffirm the citizens' fundamental right to carry a handgun for self-defense. The question presented is: Whether the Second Amendment allows the government to prohibit ordinary lawabiding citizens from carrying handguns outside the home for self- defense.DateProceedings and Orders (key to color coding)Dec 17 2020 | Petition for a writ of certiorari filed.

It's been fashionable for some time to blame our parents for whatever our issue happens to be at the moment. Having just celebrated Father's Day, I thought Paul Rosenberg does a marvelous job in his latest essay. He revisits parenthood, after a century of Freud and socialism. We often tell ourselves that taxes and regulations are the "price we pay for living in a civilized society." But is it possible to have too much of a good thing? Anthony Gill has a timely reminder about how the neighborhood lemonade stand is the classic example of free enterprise at work. For me it's powerful motivation to stop and patronize these stands rather than driving by. John Whitehead from the Rutherford Institute has been a voice of warning for a long time. His latest column on the FBI's growing tendency to "save" us from plots that it has created is very eye-opening. Government shouldn't be in the habit of creating crimes to justify its existence. Remember how we comforted ourselves during the Covid stay-at-home orders with the idea that they were, somehow, saving lives? Turns out that a new study is showing that not only did those stay-at-home orders fail to save lives, they actually may have cost more lives. Brad Polumbo has the details.

Some states like Florida are requiring law enforcement to get a judge to sign off on a warrant in order to access DNA stored in a genealogical website.  In the recent past, the Golden State Killer and a suspected Florida serial killer, Robert Hayes, were both nabbed thanks to a DNA match on a family tree website.. However, without even realizing it, by submitting your DNA to an ancestry database, you're giving the police access to the genetic makeup, relationships and health profiles of every relative-past, present and future-in your family, whether or not they ever agreed to be part of such a database.

We start with John Whitehead from the Rutherford Institute to explore the status of liberty one year after the lock down. Then Connor Semelsberger and Mary Beth Waddell from The Family Research Council explain where life issues stand after Biden's first 100 days.

Illegal immigrants? Dr. Fauci, The CDC, WHO?Russia, China, Iran? You may or may not be surprised to learn that the rhetoric being used by the Left against our country, and conservatives in particular, is used by our foreign adversaries.We detail the above and alot more on today's show. Plus, two Guests with vital messages on the current dangers facing our nation: Michael Maloof, former senior security policy analyst in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, has almost 30 years of federal service in the U.S. Defense Department and as a specialized trainer for border guards and Special Forces, and John Whitehead, President of The Rutherford Institute and a prominent leader in the national dialogue on civil liberties and human rights.

Dave Forsyth and John W. Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute discuss how the the government's war on domestic terrorism is a trap. It just an other power grab and increase the police state. Believing in the constitution, free speech and pro life can get you labeled as a domestic terrorists.

Dr. Emmitt Riley, political scientist and assistant professor of Africana Studies at DePauw University joins us to discuss the first 100 days of the Biden administration. Biden began by signing multiple executive orders mostly aimed at reversing the policies of the previous administration. As the COVID-19 pandemic and its related economic fallout are the most pressing issues on his plate, Biden mandated masks on all federal properties, extended moratoriums on evictions, and postponed payments on federal student loans. “We'll press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril and possibility,” Biden said in his inaugural address. Dan Kovalik, labor and human rights lawyer, professor, and author, joins us to discuss think tank diplomacy. The Washington Post recently ran an alarming article supposing that North Korea is on the verge of threatening the US with an intercontinental ballistic missile. The article failed to disclose that the expert upon which it relied, Michael Elleman, works for a think tank that is heavily funded by weapons manufacturers and includes a former NATO secretary-general and previously included the CEO of Lockheed Martin. John Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute and author of "Battlefield America: The War on the American People," returns to discuss the deep state control of US policy. Whitehead argues that former US President Donald Trump handed his administration over to corporations, weapons manufacturers and lobbyists, and that Biden will be no different. Whitehead agrees there was a coup attempt in the United States but he says, "Indeed, the real coup happened when our government ‘of the people, by the people, for the people' was overthrown by a profit-driven, militaristic, techno-corporate state that is in cahoots with a government ‘of the rich, by the elite, for the corporations.'” Dr. Yolandra Hancock, a board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, joins us to discuss the new administration's COVID-19 plan. Biden's plan includes a variety of measures including a speedy return of children to schools and increased funding for testing and the administration of the vaccine program. Also, the US COVID-19 death toll has passed the 400,000 mark, with no respite from the outbreak on the horizon. Hancock also discusses whether the public should wait for a better vaccine or take its chances with one of the varieties currently available. Robert Fantina, pro-Palestinian activist, peace and human rights leader, journalist and author of “Essays on Palestine,” returns to discuss the potential for a US return to the Iran nuclear deal. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is calling on Biden to return to the 2015 agreement and lift the sanctions reimposed by the Trump administration; however, Biden's underlings seem to be throwing some cold water on the proposal. Antony Blinken, Biden's secretary of state nominee, has implied he will be looking for an expansion of the deal, a measure that Iran has made clear it will refuse to consider. James Carey, editor and co-owner of Geopolitics Alert, joins us to discuss early indications of the Biden administration's Yemen policies. Blinken indicated during his Tuesday Senate confirmation hearing that the Biden administration will be reviewing the designation of Yemen's Houthis as a terrorist organization, and will likely end support for the Saudi war on the impoverished nation. The terrorist designation was panned internationally as it was expected to intensify the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth. George Koo, journalist, social activist, international business consultant and chemical engineer joins us to discuss US policies regarding China. In a surprise move, China levied sanctions against a number of officials from the outgoing Trump administration. Meanwhile, newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines is advocating for a more aggressive and assertive policy against China. After criticizing the Trump foreign policy towards Asia, it appears the Biden team will adopt it and increase tensions in the region. As Biden's nominees push for confrontation, Beijing is asking for a better relationship through mutual respect and cooperation. Ted Rall, political cartoonist and syndicated columnist, returns to discuss the expansion of online censorship. In what seems to be a bow to the official US foreign policy, Twitter is suspending the accounts of the incoming Venezuelan parliament. The social media behemoth is recognizing Juan Guaido as the interim president of the South American country despite the results of the nation's constitutional elections and the fact that the European Union no longer agrees with that assessment. In another US State Department-sponsored move, Twitter has locked the accounts of China's US embassy over their recent statements in defiance of US claims about the Uighur Muslim population in Xinjiang.

John Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute and author of "Battlefield America: The War on the American People," joins us to discuss the current perilous situation in the US. In his latest article, Whitehead argues that America has been reduced to "a violent mob. A nation on the brink of martial law. A populace under house arrest. A techno-corporate state wielding its power to immobilize huge swaths of the country. And a Constitution in tatters."Marjorie Cohn, professor of law at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California, and a former president of the National Lawyers Guild, joins us to discuss the state of the impeachment moves in Congress. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is caught between a cadre of angry donors and a base that still supports US President Donald Trump. McConnell released a public statement Wednesday in which he said, “While the press has been full of speculation, I have not made a final decision on how I will vote, and I intend to listen to the legal arguments when they are presented to the Senate.”Jim Kavanagh, writer at The Polemicist and CounterPunch, joins us to discuss the actions of big tech companies after last week's Capitol protests. The last week has been a demonstration of the incredible power of such firms. While these companies argue that they are protecting American democracy, we recall that in 2009 Twitter postponed scheduled platform maintenance so that its platform would be available to protesters in Iran that were using it to coordinate actions to destabilize the government.Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector in Iraq, returns to discuss a report that Iran is producing equipment at a facility in Isfahan aimed at creating uranium metal. This is now being presented as a proliferation threat, with the Wall Street Journal arguing that “uranium metal can be used to construct the core of a nuclear weapon.” However, the uranium metal that the facility would produce would only be 20% enriched. In order to create a weapon, Iran would have to further enrich that uranium to 90% purity.Julie Hurwitz, civil rights attorney and partner at the law firm Goodman, Hurwitz and James, joins us to discuss the latest on the Flint water crisis. Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of willful neglect of duty for his role in the crisis that polluted Flint's water with lead. These charges come "in the wake of a report indicating Snyder was aware of a Legionnaires' disease outbreak linked to the emergency months before he acknowledged it in public," Common Dreams reported Thursday.Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to talk about Israel's opposition to a reinstatement of the Iran nuclear deal. Israeli Likud Minister Tzachi Hanegbi stated on Wednesday that he does not expect Trump to impose military action on Iran. He also said that Israel may initiate military strikes against the Islamic Republic if US President-elect Joe Biden elects to return to the nuclear deal. Also, Israel has increased military strikes against Syria, killing scores of Syrian personnel over the last few days.Chris Sorensen joins us to discuss his latest book, "Understanding the War Industry." We also discuss how Wall Street profits from war, and how censorship from big tech corporations in the aftermath of the Capitol riot is the height of hypocrisy because those corporations profit by selling to the most violent institution, the US military.Dan Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "The Velvet Coup," joins us to discuss the nomination of Samantha Power to head the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Biden's selection of a number of notorious war hawks for his administration, including Power, Antony Blinken and Avril Haines, has many international security analysts concerned that a major military conflict may be in the offing. Additionally, Kurt Campbell, a key architect of former US President Barack Obama's Asia “pivot,” will become the coordinator for Indo-Pacific affairs on the National Security Council as a deputy to Jake Sullivan, Biden's pick for national security adviser.

0 (1s): Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us this morning. Online it's a little different for me and the band and just like last week, we're going to go ahead and we're going to worship here. We're going to trust that you're going to worship with us at home. You know, we'll remember that it doesn't matter where we're at. God is everywhere. Omnipresent. We can praise him from the rooftops, from the empty rooms to the living rooms, to the bedrooms. He's worthy to be praised. So wherever you are, join us worship with us this morning and we'll get it going, Lord, please accept our worship this morning. 0 (45s): As pleasing we come to you, we humbly confess that we have nothing to offer. Lord. Everything we have is because of you. We praise you. We worship you in Jesus name. Amen. 1 (1m 6s): . 1 (6m 21s): Hi, 2 (11m 30s): 1 (11m 42s): 0 (15m 51s): Lord, we thank you this morning for your great gift of grace to each one of us. We thank you, Lord, that you've made it obvious to everywhere. We look at your creation, cries out of a creator. I pray this morning that you'd help us all to remove the scales from our eyes. Only you can remove Lord that we could see that every day we'd sent your presence. Remember who we serve and worship. Pray that you'd bless your word this morning. 0 (16m 32s): You anointed. You'd give us ears to hear what you want to say to us. We ask in Jesus name. Amen 3 (16m 42s): For let's see here flows of you standing there in the back. We've got a couple of seats right up, over here in front. And then I think we have a seat right back there in the back free. Now I'm just having fun with you anyway. It's great to be here. You guys, and let's let's, let's go ahead and pray and Lord God, we thank you father that you, that you do see all Lord God that you do know all. And just thank you father, that you have equipped us as believers with everything that we need to address and face the challenges that come before us. Even if we feel powerless, even if we feel like there's a we're out of control, like we don't have control or God, these are, these are the opportunities father for us to lean on you completely. 3 (17m 27s): And to see your power work in your grace abound father, we pray for your Holy spirit to move through this message this morning. And for those who don't know you father, we pray Lord God, that they will be receptive to your Holy Spirit's call to become a member of your family in Jesus name. We pray amen. What happens in when everything is going really smooth and there you are driving, and you're finally on cruise control and things are going really well. What happens in life? I'll tell you what happens. Suddenly a big cow gets in the middle of the road and you have to go left or right, or have lots of hamburger meat. 3 (18m 9s): And you know, that works much better in Texas, but anyway, but the reality is that's what life is about. We have, we, we never had a stay on cruise control forever. There's just things that happen. Even if you think you're doing everything correct. We live in a fallen world and things happen. I know I was challenged once I was a Western regional coordinator for an organization called Rutherford Institute, and that was coordinated litigation in 14 Western States out of our, out of the Sacramento office and everything was going really smooth. I had this network of attorneys developed and Aaron's going great coordinating over 40% of their active litigation. 3 (18m 50s): And what happens? The national office calls me and says, Brad, we're shutting down the last regional offices, including yours, but don't worry. We have a promotion for you. Why don't you hit up our public affairs office in Washington, DC you'll have a higher salary, larger staff, larger office. You'll be the face of the organization. You'll be literally the media and media rep for all television and radio throughout the country. For all of our litigation. Of course, I don't have to pray about that. You know, I mean, right. When something is just like, so obviously God was closing, wonder opening it elements. You don't have to pray about that. Yes. Yeah. And I had insomnia. 3 (19m 31s): I couldn't sleep. Couldn't sleep the next night couldn't sleep the next night. Why? Because I was wrestling with the Lord. I knew that if I prayed that God was going to probably challenge me to take the rough path and not the easy path. That's just what happens in my life. You know, when, when you pray, I usually very rarely feel led to go the easy way. It's this thing called faith that needs stretching going this way. And so I went ahead and prayed and that's what I should've done from the beginning. But I prayed. And when I did the Lord gave me this question, which is Brad what does Isaiah I put on your heart real pointed, really clear. 3 (20m 12s): And the answer was to make sure people got the help they needed here on the West coast. That was a passion on my heart. The next question was, what do I choose to follow the passions on my heart or something else? So with boldness and courage, I stepped up and I said, Lord, I will face the challenges I will boldly go. I will do exactly on several conditions. And isn't that what we are sometimes in life, we say yes to we're going to do it, but I'm scared. That's okay because God's stretching us. And when he stretches us, it's not supposed to just really be, you know, when you're, when you're lifting weights, I had some, maybe some guys here in the audience here, weightlifters, you know, we lifted the weights. 3 (20m 54s): You lift it with. So it's easy. No, you lift as hard and you're stretching those tit, those muscles and everything. Well, that's what God does with us spiritually. When we go through situations where we have to stretch our faith. And so I says, God, I've just, I got a few things here. One, I want to make sure that we have a free office space indefinitely donated free in Sacramento, a free computer system donated, you know, keep me on the radio stations for free. There were two, a rate, two radio stations. At the time we have to use the black Lord in just three months. And I'm never going to charge anyone at any time for any legal work I ever do. Ever. I thought it was very reasonable with my business model. 3 (21m 35s): And anyway, God, he knows where he knew I was at. He knew exactly where I was and he takes us right where we are in that great that God knows inside and out. He says, so he took care of everything. I get a call out of the blue. We're shutting down the other for the office. It's the last month I get a call. I didn't tell anyone about the free office space I was looking for. I thought I don't have to. I told God, God doesn't provide it fine done. It's not at him. And I'm getting on my boat and I'm leaving Nineveh. Okay. I'm just from head to Barcelona. I'm just, I was already, you know, it's anyway. Yeah. 3 (22m 15s): Biblical analogy there. Okay. Gotcha. So, so there, so, so what happens? I get a call answer. The phone guy says, yeah, I heard you needed office space to have office space for you. Free office space. Now did I say praise the Lord? Thank you. No, this was my ticket to avoid going to Nineveh. Okay. The office space. So instead I raised my voice and said, well, Hey, how'd, you know, I need office space. Well, my secretary who's my tone quickly comes in, says, put him on hold, put him on hold. She goes, yeah. I just, I Brad, you didn't know this, but I knew there before we knew they were shutting down our office, I knew our lease was going to expire here. 3 (22m 55s): So I thought I would surprise you. And so I called KYC radio and I asked him to put in an announcement that we're looking for free office space too, because yes, we need office space. But that's how God works in the computer. I told one person computer system, we needed. One person goes, Oh yeah, I've got a computer system for you. The boat is not leaving. It's going to stay in it. So it's how God works. Radio stations. They said, Oh, we'll keep you on. And now by God's grace, we have a half hour radio show and it's heard on over 500 stations and transmitters across the country for free the, the commentary. 3 (23m 40s): We have the legal EDS for that over. Well, I'll say over 790, plus at least radio stations Monday through Friday, it's for free. I mean, this is how God works. And we now have offices. Pacific justice. Now has offices went to theaters anyway. I've I don't know how many offices, but coast to coast, Miami New York, Dallas, Mississippi, Denver, Seattle, Salem, foreign, California, Reno, Nevada, all donated office space. It's it's what God does. It's when we let go, we let God, he goes beyond what we can think or imagine when you're facing things in life. 3 (24m 23s): Remember none of this takes God by surprise. If you feel out of control, it's obviously it's a great time for those spiritual muscles to be stretched called faith. And we could put our trust and hope in the Lord. Now, why is this a good introduction? It's a good intro because what we're going to talk today is about perilous times from God's word. If you turn, if you will, to second Timothy chapter three second, Timothy chapter three, verse one, are you don't bother turning there. Just trust. I mean, I'm a lawyer. So that was a joke. That's good. You guys laughed. Okay, good. 3 (25m 4s): Yeah. It starts off what I love about this. This is understood by many to be the last writings of the apostle Paul. So this is, this is the last two chapters. We're going to finish all chapter four for time, but this is the last two chapters of the last letter of the apostle Paul and Guest who he's writing it to. He's really addressing it to us, I believe. And here's why here's the first verse, but understand this, that in the last days there will come times of diff difficulty or perilous times. That's, that's not, I think, written to the early church. I think it's written to the last days. I think it's written to us. 3 (25m 46s): And yet we act as though some, some strange things happening and we see crazy things happening our world, right? And yet Paul makes it really clear of the word of God, makes it very clear that we're to face these things. Verse two also love it. That he doesn't leave it just obscure. Like what does he mean by perilous? Well, he actually says it real clearly here. Verse two for people who we lovers of self don't. We see that in our society, what's the most common picture for someone to take, what's it called? 4 (26m 16s): Selfie? It's not a 3 (26m 17s): UAE or they it's a selfie. Right? And lovers of self lovers of money. Don't we see that that's part of our culture materialism and, and it's very apparent. And we see it around the world and we see it around the world now arrogant, abusive disobedient to their parents. Now I used to say, you know, things that disobedient to parents, you know, I thought, well, this is the end of the world's happening. 3 (26m 58s): All these teenagers are just so rebellious. Well, that's part of growing up in a way you've becoming your own person. I get that. But what we're talking about here is rebelling, not just becoming their own person, but disobedient to the parents and the teachings of their parents pulling away from the faith of their parents. We see that statistically, like we've never seen it ever in us. History is greater now than it was even back in the late sixties. And they're the, the counter, the cultural revolution it's happening at a very fast clip in our society. The fastest growing religion in America today are nuns. Now I'm not talking about the ladies with the black, you know, thing and the okay. 3 (27m 40s): And the Catholic church. No, no. I mean, there are none there, nothing. They don't believe in anything you say, Oh, you're an atheist. No, you are you this? No, I'm just nothing. That's the fastest growing religion, turning away from the parent teaching of their family and their parents. Ungrateful ungrateful. It's interesting because I think the synonym for an ungrateful is entitlement. You don't need to be grateful for something. If you're entitled to it. If, if you're owed it, if you're dessert, if you deserve it, do we have that in our society? Is that a part of what's? Our children are learning and our government schools in particular and our universities, actually a lot of private quote, Christian universities. 3 (28m 27s): I know there's a number here in the state of California, frankly, that need to be called out because of this, this, this new thinking of, of entitlement, very progressive quote unquote philosophy that goes totally against the teachings of scripture and the word of God. So it's unholy. What's that? Holy being separate from God and what's righteous. And what's good. A turning from God heartless on a, on a peaceable slanderous without self-control. When I was a kid, self-control was a good thing. 3 (29m 8s): It's what we learned. Right? Self-control exercise. Self-control what do they teach you? What's our society embracing. Now I'll tell you right now, we're all indoctrinated. I'm going to say the first few words and you're going to repeat it. If it feels right. Good do it. We're programmed. And our society does that. What God's word says no, no. Self-control is a good thing. We're human beings. God has given us moral choice. And with that comes a responsibility and self control. And our society is just, if it's a log as someone, you know, wants to, or it feels like this is something they're there they desire to do, then that's who they are. 3 (29m 51s): They should do it. Well, no, no. That's called temptation. We should turn from temptation because temptation leads to sin and see it. Sin leads to destruction and death. And that's what the stats show the statistics lovers. I was always, sorry. We'll keep here without self-control brutal. No loving good. Instead of what's hip in our society is, is to love that, which is evil and it's evil to, and instead to, to hate that, which is good. We see it in our society today. When I was growing up, there are two kinds of people. Pretty much there were those who went to church and those who are knowing that they should be going to church. 3 (30m 33s): Right? That's what I grew up with. Yeah. I know we should give you one. Church I just our society today, not that Church saves us, but it's just, it's an indicator oftentimes of our desire to, to be close and to fellowship. Fellowship is a part of healthy, spiritual growth as Christians. And yet our society today are those who go to church and then you have, and they have those who despise churches and what they stand for and what they teach and a very large part of our culture society. And then those, even those who go to church, you have those. When I was a kid, I'm selling an old man, this is not good when I was a child. Let me tell you no, but it was always thinking like two groups of Christians, you got those, the sprinkle and those that dunk. 3 (31m 20s): And that's the big divider. That was my mind thinking I was a kid and I wasn't sure about the sprinklers. Okay, boy, have things changed. The real question today is, is your church one that believes that Jesus is the way the truth and the life that no one comes to the father, but to faith in Jesus, is your church, or is it, or is it more of a universal status that decides to dilute the word and believe just everything sort of gets there. We see main did not mainline denominations falling into this deception. We also see, you know, is your church one that believes that the Bible is the Holy word of God and you don't need to apologize for this, but it live by it because this is God's word. 3 (32m 3s): Or do you believe, are you part of a church that decides to dilute, cross out, tear out and modify what the word of God says? That's where we are in our society today. Unlike at any time in world history, do we have a tearing away among the churches from those who are followers of Jesus and the Holy word of God and those that follow something else. And then love is a good treacherous. Reckless this verse for swollen with conceit pride. Pride is basically saying that I know more than God. I know that I know the way and I'm, and I know what's best for me more than God. That's sort of the conceit. 3 (32m 44s): It's pride lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God. I'll never forget. When I, the Supreme court decision regarding same-sex marriage came out from the Supreme court. It was a five to four decision, very close, actually. And the majority of the decision wrote that not only was equal protection, the basis of it. And I thought that's probably how they're going to go with the equal protection clause. We'll get into the details of that. But instead, they went much farther than that. And they said they defined a sexual fulfillment as a fundamental right. Individuals' sexual fulfillment. I looked at this, I thought this makes bigamy, polygamy, BCL. 3 (33m 30s): I mean, my mind started going, going off the edge there, thinking this just opens up the flood gate for all kinds of just immoral activity and justifying it as a constitutional fundamental, right? What's the fundamental, right? By the way, it's something given to us by our creator. How can you ignore the laws of nature? And nature's God the source of our fundamental rights in claiming something that goes totally against those rights. It's, it's, it's crazy. It makes no sense. And yet that's what we see facing us today. And that's what the Supreme court ruled. It basically, it was like, they shook their fist at God and say, we'd rather be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of you. 3 (34m 22s): First five, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. I remember I was on an airplane. You know, those people that they talk and talk on the airplane and you're just like, I wish it'd be quiet so you can CA that's me. Okay. Right here. It just happened. So I'm sitting here talking with this guy and I said, somehow it comes up. I said, if you don't mind me asking, I said, what'd you do you have religious background? And he says, he goes, no, I'm not religious, but I am very spiritual. So we know it. We know the language, we know the lingo, right? Spiritual, it's very hip to be spiritual. So I said, well, what does it mean? What do you, what do you believe? 3 (35m 2s): Well, I just really feel that I'm at one and at peace with the universe. Okay. And where does that come from? What's 1 (35m 17s): That's it. 3 (35m 20s): Okay. So there's nothing to this cloud. It's just a cloud. It's a floating, it's a floating cloud. There's no nothing, no substance. And our society embraces sort of this spiritual ism as an alternative because it makes you feel good. Doesn't it? You feel like you're, you're somewhere, even though you really know where, but it makes you feel better. Right? And, and yet it's a deception. And yet it says, but denying its power, it has no power because, or does not come from our, our mind. It doesn't come from our, our own energy. Doesn't come from the universe. Power comes through Jesus Christ and the powerful working of our creator. 3 (36m 5s): One thing I love about being a Christian and I'm a lawyer too. I'm sorry. Okay. Let me just tell you something about lawyers. It's the 99% out there. They give us 1% of bad reputation. No one laughed at that one. That was a lawyer joke. Okay. Very good. Thank you. Some courtesy. Laughter. Appreciate it. Okay. But anyway, I keep talking about before I lost my place. This is not good. Okay. So beginning, back onto where I was. All right, here we go. But the thing is, is that God wants us to recognize that we need to understand that. 3 (36m 49s): Like I said, all power comes from him. I have a very logical mind. So as a Christian it's makes sense because we have a history. We have God, two thirds of the prophecy has already been fulfilled. We have 12 eye witnesses that gave their lives. The concept that Jesus has been not only risen from the dead, but they saw him risen from the dead, from an evidentiary perspective. It makes sense. Even the understanding of the, the origins of the universe and the development correlates with the science correlates, with what we've learned, it makes complete sense. And then we also have the witness and the power of the gospel transformation in our lives and what we've seen. 3 (37m 34s): And yet that's shunned by the world to follow something else. None of this takes God by surprise. And it shouldn't take us by surprise. And yet the word says in verse five, avoid such people. No, Whoa, wait a minute. We, as believers are not to avoid people who don't know the Lord, right? So we're talking about, we're talking about people that are invading the church. That's very different. Actual, these are people eating the Church with these attitudes and philosophies and ideas. And that's why the church has to be strong too, for extra rotation. We're going to see that in a moment. Now, if we were to stop right here, be terrible. Wouldn't it it'd be like this terrible cycle. 3 (38m 15s): Do you know the world's coming to an end? Now let's go out and have some coffee. What's really awesome. Is that starting in verse, verse 10, we have a whole blueprint of victory and miss these hard times. So let's continue. Let's go on right here. But you have followed my teaching, my conduct, my, my aim until in life, my faith, my patients, my love, my steadfastness. Now notice that word love is right there. I always say, then he has my persecutions and sufferings. Love is right there. Missed all these things have challenged. How can we love when we're going through persecution? Right? 3 (38m 55s): Instead, you know, long suffering stays is another word used for steadfastness. How can we love? We can't love in these situations. Can we not on our own, but through Jesus, we can. The more of a church is persecuted. The more we're trounced on the more we're attacked, the stronger our testimony, because the more resilient and more evident is the love of Christ. And it baffles the world. When we are able to love those that hate us, able to turn the other cheek. We're able to walk the extra mile. These, these are coming from from Jesus. And we can do that as followers of Jesus, verse 11, my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch and a code them. 3 (39m 38s): And it lists what persecution is. I had toured yet from them all the Lord rescued me, wait a minute. How did Lord rescue them? You guys know what Paul went through, right? He had a shipwrecked stone poison, flogged near death or died. I mean, the guy, you really can't get much more persecution than what this guy went through. I mean, he didn't end his life even with a big mansion. I mean, he didn't have a nice ending. Yeah. You know, and his power from his testimony was all the more powerful because of all that he went through it. Wasn't about avoiding persecution. It didn't say the Lord prevented me from going through persecution as the Lord delivered me for what? We're a purpose to continue to share the good news of Jesus to share the gospel and the life changing opportunity to hope in Christ, verse 12. 3 (40m 26s): He see, he reveals that. He says, indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ. Jesus will be persecuted. Isn't that a great promise. You're going to be persecuted. Now let me know if you're like, well, I don't want this promise. We don't live for this world. We live for a whole nother world. This is a train station. This is temporary. And, and we're going to be suffering persecution. Verse 13 while evil people and imposters will go from bad to worse deceiving and being deceived posters is he, there's going to be imposters in the Church right? Who are deceiving. I've seen him on television before for you continue in what you've learned and from an F and have firmly believed knowing from whom you've learned it. 3 (41m 15s): And now from childhood you've, you've been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ. Jesus. What are the sacred writings? Is it from some ancient something? No, it's the Bible God's word. And so we're supposed to, to, to clean to it. We're supposed to, to, to learn from it and, and, and, and to grow from it. Verse 15 and now, and how from childhood, you have been acquainted with the sacred rice, which we would like your wife to Christ for salvation through faith in Christ. Jesus. All scripture is breathed out by God profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training and righteousness. 3 (42m 3s): Would you say that the Bible is pretty, has it all together? I mean, this is the most important book. Good read. This is, this is it. And oftentimes we neglect the word don't we so much of our time. We, or we could be religious about it. I remember my life. It was a time I read one chapter a day. If I didn't have time, I read the chapter and the presence of many witnesses, trust, phase one managers or and quickly go through it and say, okay, what one thing did you get out of it? I don't know. I was too busy reading it. You ever been done that before? It's called religion and death. God doesn't want religion. He wants a relationship. It's better. I think to read one verse and to be open to the spirit of God than to go through this big rigid ritual. 3 (42m 48s): I got to read the whole Bible in one year. So I got to quickly do I didn't make time. Walk with God and let him speak to you in his word. He's talking to you in his word and is it has a trustworthy will verse 16. All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training racist, that the man of God may be complete equipped for every good work. Did she love these absolutes and God's word. We can put our hands, our trust completely. And when he teaches us and tells us in his word, it's proven itself, time and time again, and the testimonies and the evidence is overwhelming. 3 (43m 33s): If we'd only listen and hear what God has to tell us, we're going to face tough times. Verse four, chapter four, verse one. I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ. Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead and by his appearing and his kingdom. Would you say what he's about to say is pretty important? I mean, I don't, I don't, there's not many times in scripture. I see this kind of an intro to an exhortation, to a command verse two. We see what that command is. Preach the word. Pretty awesome. Isn't it preach the word whenever you feel like it? 3 (44m 16s): No, no, no. Preach the word. Be ready. The in season and out of season. In other words, when you see the results and when you don't see the results, DePaul always see the great results. When they're about to just read acts chapter 22, you know, it was, he was preaching and they wanted a fling. Dustin, the air traffic cooks. They wanted the guy dead. He didn't base his ministry on results. His ministry was on faith in Jesus. God's the one who moves Gaza. Results person is a great that God doesn't count on us for results. What does he want from us? He wants to obedience and we can put our trust in him, preach the word, be ready in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke and exhort with complete patience and teaching. 3 (45m 7s): I'll never forget. There was one guy. I was getting my house in citrus Heights and it was a for sale by owner. And I was writing down the number. He says, Hey dude, you want to commit? Obviously, dude, he goes, Hey, you want to come in and see the house? And my uncle's not here, but he really needs it. So I go in and watch, look at it and everything. And, and, and I said, wow, this, this ad on here had this big add on with the slanted roof, but it's okay. The floor matched it. So it was fine. So it's all slanted. I said, well, you could, you could have a church service here. He goes, Oh, are you a Christian? I go, yeah. Are you? He goes, no, I go, well, what are you going? Well, you don't want to know. I said, well, yeah, I do. No. I thought I'm not gonna be able to get this house anyway. 3 (45m 48s): And by the way, I ended up getting the house. So it was like, like a total God thing, another story. So I sit down with him and he goes, cause I was, since I went to college, I learned some new ways of thinking, Oh, well there are no absolutes. Yeah. And how it may be right for you, but it may not be right for me. And he goes, yeah. And how everything is relative. Yeah. I said, well, let me tell you that's wrong. And I went through and I went through the apologetics and I gave him the, the bridge diagram, you know, man on one side, God, since separating, you know, and then I gave him more than a carpet. But the book later on, more than a carpenter and his eyes were just glassed over. And I thought, what a waste of my time. 3 (46m 31s): And that's what my attitude was. I'm going to be honest with you. It wasn't like a whole Lord just work in his life. No, I thought kids hopeless rebel. What a waste of my time. And I shared this story. A number of times with people saying, nonetheless, we still need to share the good word. Even if we know people have rejected it and they're not going to, well, you don't have it. About 17 years later, someone knocks on my door. I wasn't there. Someone else answered the door. He says, yeah, yeah. I'm here to see brags on here. Okay. Well, he shared with me gospel about 17 years ago here in this house. And I didn't accept it and made some bad decisions. I went to prison, but when I was in prison, I remember what he shared with me. 3 (47m 14s): And I gave my life to Christ. I'm now out of prison. I'm now in full-time ministry. I just wanted to come by and thank you for taking the time. And when I heard that, I was like, Chris, where are you going to be like happier praise the Lord. Well, you know what the Holy spirit did. First thing was brought to my mind exactly what I said and felt afterwards, which was what a waste of my time. I wish I hadn't bothered that. So reality is it's not a waste. So, and let the Lord do the reaping. Let God, let God move in his, through his Holy spirit. And maybe someone else down the road will, will lead them to cry. So the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions. 3 (48m 5s): Do we see it? There's churches in this town probably that fits this criteria very well. We have denominations that have pledged to be followers of this and to do this verse four. And we'll turn away from listening to the truth. What is the truth? This the word of God and wander off into myths. As for you always be sober-minded enduring suffering. Do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. Sometimes in life we say, well, that's, I don't really have a ministry to talk about pastor Steve, pastor Steve we're rooting for you, pastor Steve. 3 (48m 48s): No, no. They're talking about you. If you've given your life to Jesus, the way God wants to work in your life, how do you know if God has a ministry for you? Ask yourself two questions there. One, have I received Jesus, my Lord and savior. And number two is my heartbeat. Cause otherwise God to take you home, he's a gracious God heaven so much better than this place. He has a purpose. Even this one lady, I know she was going blind and she loved Jesus. She says, I can't even do anything. And I says, this is a prayer warrior. You can be a primary, like never before she goes, you're right. And she was a prayer warrior all the way up until the time she passed away, two months later, it's a living for Jesus and not ourselves. 3 (49m 31s): And, and also I, when I was 16 years old, I w too much time on this cause time. But I loved the Lord. I was in my little Opal GT driving motorcycle hits me head on, goes through my windshield smashes through this whole part of my head, I was going 55 on a, how fast he was going, rushed me to Parkland general hospital. I was in ICU. I had major brain damage. How many people can say I had major brain damage? Not many. My parents were told quote from the doctor. I was struggling to live critical condition. They said your son has had major brain damage. 3 (50m 11s): Even if he lives, he still could be a vegetable. You may still have to pull the cord and quote. And yet Californians. Our God is a great recycler. He loves to take that, which the world throws away, do something new. And that's what he did in my life and incredible healing buddy, by the act of God, do I still have the same brain? No. I think my kids will tell you. I'm a little weird. I got my idiosyncrasies, but, but the reality is it's not about us. It's what God wants to do with us. It's not about what gifts we have. It's not about, it's not about who we are. It's about whose we are. We realize it's about who we are in Christ and not about this other stuff. 3 (50m 53s): We have freedom. There's freedom in Christ because it's not about us. It's about who we are in Christ and what he wants to do with what he's given us at this time. And this day, by the way, I supposed to have serious problems with, with logic, reasoning, analytical skills and speech communications, the left frontal lobe. This whole thing was like was swelling. I've had to cut a large hole just for the swelling. You could see the swelling of the brain. Talk to a neurologist. I'll tell you that's not a minor head injury. I ended up getting my degree in finance at Texas a and M university. That's where I learned my manners. And that was a joke. You could say, you're not supposed to do that guys. I could just sit here. 3 (51m 33s): And I graduate with a finance degree, logic reasoning, 3.8, six in my major, put myself through school. Undergrad worked two years, went to one of the top 20 law schools in the country graduated the top half of my class by God's grace, because it's not about us. It's about him and what he wants to do through us and, and following his direction. It's exciting. Being a Christian. You want purpose in life, become a member of the family, of other living and powerful God that created life. Verse six for I'm already being poured out as a drink offering at the time of my departure has come. 3 (52m 16s): What's that mean? I'm about to die. People say really important things right before they're going to die. Here's what he says. I have fought the good fight I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. There is laid up for me, the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge will award to me on that day. Wait a minute, Paul, you're the Zola bin Ladin of the early church. Your name needs to be saw. It used to persecute the Christians. You are the biggest loser. The righteous judge giving you a crown of righteous. Yes. You know why? Because it wasn't based on who he was or what he'd done based on who who's. He was that he'd received Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior. And he was washed clean by the blood of the lamb. 3 (52m 59s): What about the rest of us? Oh, he responds to that. But the rest of the verse, it says, and not only to me far as awarding the crown, but also to all who have loved his appearing. You, what I love about this is that he didn't say all people who've went to confession or went to church camp or goes to church all the time, or even set a certain prayer a certain time. It's loved his appearing. There's a relationship. And you may not have a relationship with the Lord. You may have gone through religion. You may be a religious person all your life. But if you knew that Jesus was coming back tomorrow at 2:30 PM and no one knows the day of the time I get that, this is hypothetical. 3 (53m 40s): Okay. If you knew that two 30 he's coming back, what would you be thinking and feeling? Would you be loving his appearing or would you be saying to yourself, Oh shoot. At three 30, I've got a big real estate deal. I've got a corporate merger. I've got this big data I'm going on or would it possibly also be, Oh shoot, he's not going to take me. He's not going to take me. I I've got this ugly closet, this dark ugly closet. W and by the way, just for the record, everyone has a dark ugly closet. Okay. But you see, but all, but this mine's really bad. I've got stuff here. So shameful. So disgraceful, I can't even forgive myself. How can God forgive me? 3 (54m 22s): You know what you're really doing? When you say that it's like walking up to Jesus on the cross. Let's just say, he's he's right here at lacrosse bleeding and dying in pain and agony for our sins, gasping in pain and agony to bear our sins on the cross, to pay for our death penalty for our sins on the cross that he's paying for. And we walk up to him and we say, nice try Jesus. But you see, for me, that's just not good enough. In other CROs, his response to that lie was revealed when he said it is finished. 3 (55m 5s): And all's we have to do in humility is to believe it and receive it. Receive his gift of payment for our sins on the cross and surrender our lives at the foot of the cross to be a follower of Jesus. And he will separate that ugly sin. As far as the East is from the West. He will wipe, you will wash you clean from, with his blood on the cross. He will wash you clean and pure in his eyes and receive you as a child of the living God for eternity. Awesome. Some of you may, what I just shared that may just felt convicted.

Today on TruNews, we speak with constitutional lawyer John Whitehead, President of the Rutherford Institute, about the COVID technocracy strangling the America way. We also speak with Georgia election observer Garland Favorito, who shares the shocking testimony he was barred by Republicans from saying yesterday under oath, about how Trump votes were switched to Joe Biden through the Dominion Voting System, and it’s a bipartisan communist coverup, culminating at the office of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute explains the hard truth that no matter who wins this presidential election, we will continue to be forced to march in lockstep with the police state in all matters, public and private. The Deep State, the 1 percent, the elite, the controllers, the masterminds, the shadow government, the police state, the surveillance state, the military-industrial complex – so long as you understand that no matter which party occupies the White House in 2021... After the Election: A Few Hard Truths About Things That Won't Change A Government of Wolves The Rutherford Institute  

Welcome to this 46th episode of The Shift where your host Doug McKenty talks constitutional law with lawyer and founder of the Rutherford Institute, John Whitehead. John has spent decades defending the average American citizen against government abuse of power. His most recent book, Battlefield America: The War on the American People, outlines just how difficult his job has become. In the midst of a pandemic lockdown as well as a national protest movement calling for the defunding of the police, John's concerns about government overreach have never been so poignant. If you are concerned about living in a state of emergency, the militarization of the police and the loss of civil liberties, this episode will be of interest. What you will hear on this episode will never be presented in corporate media. Find out more about John Whitehead at www.rutherford.org. You can find out more about The Shift a theshiftnow.com.

My guest this week is author and founder of the Rutherford Institute, John Whitehead. John and I discuss the growing authoritarian Police State in America. From lockdowns to murders by cops to the growing technocratic state with contract tracing and further violations of the fourth amendment, more than any other time in history, our civil liberties are under threat. Unfortunately, the younger generation has been groomed to accept things like this through government schooling and agenda-driven mainstream media. John gives some very helpful suggestions on how to wake people up and fight this system moving forward.

As a candidate, Donald Trump promised “brilliant trade” policies that would drop the national trade deficit “like you've never seen before.” As president, he has continued to champion the same rhetoric. Two years after he was elected, despite his singular focus on trade, America is importing more goods, while exporting less, than it ever has. What does this say about the negotiator in chief and the US economy? The Commerce Department said Wednesday that — despite more than two years of Trump's “America First” policies — the United States last year posted an $891.2 billion merchandise trade deficit, the largest in the nation's 243-year history. The trade gap with China also hit a record $419 billion, underscoring the stakes for the president's bid to reach a deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping as soon as this month. What's going on here? It appears to me that the trade deficit is headed in the wrong direction, and this is an imbalance Trump has depicted as the primary threat to the American economy.HIV has reportedly been cured in a second patient, a milestone in the global AIDS epidemic. Scientists have long tried to duplicate the procedure that led to the first long-term remission 12 years ago. With the so-called London patient, they seem to have succeeded. What does this mean for HIV-AIDS treatment going forward? For just the second time since the global epidemic began, a patient appears to have been cured of infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The news comes nearly 12 years to the day after the first patient known to be cured, a feat that researchers have long tried, and failed, to duplicate. The surprise success now confirms that a cure for HIV infection is possible, if difficult, researchers said. How can there be the confirmation of a surprise success based upon the appearance of a cure? [EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm not sure how to interpret the last sentence of this paragraph. Can you clarify it?] In his recent piece, "Forced Blood Draws & Implied Consent Laws Make a Mockery of the Fourth Amendment," attorney John Whitehead says, "All of those freedoms we cherish — the ones enshrined in the Constitution, the ones that affirm our right to free speech and assembly, due process, privacy, bodily integrity, the right to not have police seize our property without a warrant or search and detain us without probable cause — amount to nothing when the government and its agents are allowed to disregard those prohibitions on government overreach at will. This is the grim reality of life in the American police state. Our so-called rights have been reduced to technicalities in the face of the government's ongoing power grabs." We'll discuss the US Supreme Court case Mitchell vs. Wisconsin, in which Wisconsin police officers read an unconscious man his rights and then proceeded to forcibly and without a warrant draw his blood while he was still unconscious in order to determine if he could be charged with a DUI.GUESTS:Dr. Jack Rasmus — Professor of economics at Saint Mary's College of California and author of "Central Bankers at the End of Their Ropes: Monetary Policy and the Coming Depression."Deja Abdul-Haqq — Interim director of the Center for Community Based Programs (CCBP) with My Brother's Keeper, Inc., where she leads multi-purpose teams of advocates and health professionals in creating sustainable wellness impact in Mississippi.John Whitehead — president of The Rutherford Institute and author of "Battlefield America: The War on the American People."

The UN estimates that nearly 20 million Yemenis could die of starvation by the end of this year. That's about 70 percent of the entire population. That horrific number includes more than 2 million children who are already going hungry, including 500,000 who are suffering from severe malnutrition. The people of Yemen have found themselves struggling not only for survival, but for a space in the Western media's war coverage. In the shadow of the conflict in Syria, the men, women and children of Yemen are being deliberately starved and targeted by strategic airstrikes and an illegal blockade in a war initiated by Saudi Arabia and aided, massively if not entirely, by the United States.American prisoners have concluded labor strikes and, in some facilities hunger strikes in at least 17 states. They struck from August 21 to September 9. Jailhouse Lawyers Speak (JLS) and national organizers have endorsed local strikers to set their own end dates, or strike indefinitely. Incarcerated organizers never believed that their demands would be met at a negotiating table during the past three weeks; it has been a huge success of the 2018 prison strike that the 10 points have been pushed into the national and international consciousness. The work of spreading and fighting for these demands will continue on all fronts until they are actualized, and then beyond that onto what JLS aptly calls “the dismantling process,” as we build a movement toward abolition.Today is the 17th commemoration of the Twin Towers, Shanksville and Pentagon catastrophes. We mourn the loss of life but we must also ask ourselves some critical questions. Life in a post-9/11 America increasingly feels like an endless free fall down a rabbit hole into a terrifying, dystopian alternate reality in which the citizenry has no rights, the government is no friend to freedom, and everything we ever knew and loved about the values and principles that once made this country great has been turned on its head. We've walked a strange and harrowing road since September 11, 2001, littered with the debris of our once-vaunted liberties. Are we safer with the erosion of our Bill of Rights than we are being protected against all of those evil boogie men who want to do us harm? We were told that the War on Terror was to protect us against al Qaeda. But today as Iran, Russia, Turkey and Syria get ready to go into Idlib to serve the final blow to al Qaeda in Idlib the US is backing the terrorists, supporting the terrorists.Guests: Dr. Aisha O.

Rutherford Institute founder John Whitehead quotes Professor Neil Postman to open his discourse on the loss of our freedoms, "Big Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth. When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; a culture-death is a clear possibility." Mr. Whitehead's recent article for the Rutherford Institute Dial T for Tyranny sounds the alarm as it breaks down the cold fact for all to hear that our civil liberties have been nullified.

Alicia Hickok and Eugene Volokh join National Constitution Center President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen to discuss a major Supreme Court case about public-union dues. The Supreme Court is considering arguments in a case that could have a huge effect on public-section unions and their membership. The case of Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) will be heard on February 26 at the Court. The question in front of the nine Justices is if public-sector “agency shop” arrangements -- payments that workers represented by a union must pay even if they are not dues-paying members -- should be invalidated under the First Amendment. The Supreme Court said in Abood v. Detroit Board of Education (1977) that government employees who don’t belong to a union can be required to pay for union contract negotiating costs that benefit to all public employees, including non-union members. The Abood decision has been challenged in court several times, and an evenly divided Court couldn’t decide a similar case, Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, in 2016.  This time, a full Court will consider the issue. Alicia Hickok is a Partner at the law firm Drinker Biddle and a Lecturer in law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She wrote an amicus brief in the Janus case on behalf of the Rutherford Institute, siding with Janus’s position. Eugene Volokh is Gary T. Schwartz Distinguished Professor of Law at UCLA Law School. He co-wrote an amicus brief in Janus with Will Baude siding with the union. Questions or comments? We would love to hear from you.
