Merry Christmas 2024

[00:00:02] Hey, where are you going?

[00:00:03] I gotta get home.

[00:00:05] America, it's time to come home.

[00:00:08] It's time to come home!

[00:00:10] By bringing common sense back into the nonsense.

[00:00:13] Welcome to Common Sense Coalition Talk Radio, where America comes home.

[00:00:21] Down this dirt road, you're going to find determination and grit,

[00:00:24] opinions that matter, and a big ol' helping of good discernment.

[00:00:29] And now, the woman that wishes the DC occupiers would stop making her use her mom voice.

[00:00:34] Do not make me come down there.

[00:00:36] Here's your host, and the voice of common sense, Beth Ann.

[00:00:42] And I welcome you today to CSC Talk Radio.

[00:00:44] It is my honor, my privilege, and my pleasure to be with you here today.

[00:00:47] Maybe even especially because you've joined me on this special day.

[00:00:53] We're going to go straight.

[00:00:54] It's Merry Christmas, America, by the way.

[00:00:57] We're going to go straight to the Lord in prayer.

[00:00:59] I picked a couple of prayers out that I did not write.

[00:01:01] I wrote the ending of it, but some that I thought kind of conveyed some messages I felt were necessary for us.

[00:01:09] Not just today on this special day, but every day.

[00:01:13] A Wishful Prayer for such a time as this.

[00:01:17] A Wishful Prayer is by Wilda English.

[00:01:20] God grant you the light of Christmas, which is faith.

[00:01:24] The warmth of Christmas, which is purity.

[00:01:27] The righteousness of Christmas, which is justice.

[00:01:31] And the belief in Christmas, which is truth.

[00:01:34] The all of Christmas, which is Christ.

[00:01:39] Thank you for redemption by Rick Renner.

[00:01:43] Lord, I thank you for coming to earth so you could redeem me.

[00:01:48] When I think of the extent to which you were willing to go in order to save me,

[00:01:53] it makes me want to shout, to celebrate, and to cry with thankfulness.

[00:01:58] You love me so much, and I am so grateful for that love.

[00:02:03] Without you, I would still be lost and in sin.

[00:02:06] But because of everything you have done for me, today I am free.

[00:02:11] My life is blessed.

[00:02:13] Jesus is my Lord.

[00:02:15] Heaven is my home.

[00:02:17] And Satan has no right to control me.

[00:02:21] I will be eternally thankful to you for everything you did to save me.

[00:02:26] And he prays in Jesus' name.

[00:02:29] A Universal Prayer from Frank Borman

[00:02:33] Give us, O God, the vision which can see thy love in the world in spite of human failure.

[00:02:40] Give us the faith to trust the goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness.

[00:02:46] Give us the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts

[00:02:51] and show us what each one of us can do to set forth the coming of the day of universal peace.

[00:03:00] For such a time as this, on this day, we celebrate your gift, O God.

[00:03:08] Your gift of salvation.

[00:03:10] You came as a child who needed to be held.

[00:03:14] And you now, as our Savior, hold each of us.

[00:03:18] You are an awesome God to whom we sing praises.

[00:03:21] Joy to the world.

[00:03:23] Our Lord has come.

[00:03:25] Emmanuel, God with us.

[00:03:27] And it is in the name of this child, this Savior, Jesus Christ, that we pray.

[00:03:38] Amen.

[00:03:40] Well, Merry Christmas, America.

[00:03:43] I do thank you for spending your time with me on this very special day.

[00:03:48] A special day for all believers who believe in our great Messiah,

[00:03:54] the Savior and King, Jesus Christ.

[00:03:57] Each morning in the office, we share a brief devotional before the day starts with all the work.

[00:04:05] And today's devotional was titled, God with us.

[00:04:10] And I thought I would share that with you.

[00:04:13] The Lord himself will give you a sign.

[00:04:16] Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Emmanuel.

[00:04:22] That's out of Isaiah 714.

[00:04:25] The name Emmanuel in Matthew 123 means God with us.

[00:04:31] But what does it mean to have God with us?

[00:04:35] For starters, it means that God understands humanity.

[00:04:38] He has experienced firsthand the limitations of being human.

[00:04:43] He's felt the frailty of being a newborn.

[00:04:46] The fatigue of not having a place to lay his head.

[00:04:49] The pain of betrayal by one of his closest companions.

[00:04:53] And the burden of the sins of the entire world.

[00:04:57] God knows what it is like to be us.

[00:05:03] God with us.

[00:05:06] God is also one of us.

[00:05:08] But it doesn't end there.

[00:05:10] God didn't just come down to our level.

[00:05:14] He brings us up to his.

[00:05:17] As we cling to Jesus, his majesty lifts us from the darkness of humanity to the glory of God.

[00:05:24] On this Christmas Day, if you find dark places in your life, take hope.

[00:05:30] God knows.

[00:05:32] Christ will light the way.

[00:05:35] For he is with you.

[00:05:38] When God chose to reveal himself, he did so through a human body.

[00:05:43] The hand that touched the leper had dirt under its nails.

[00:05:48] The feet upon which the woman wept were calloused and dusty.

[00:05:52] And his tears, they came from a heart as broken as yours or mine ever has been.

[00:05:59] And the Holy Spirit revealed to me,

[00:06:29] You are never alone.

[00:06:33] Only Christ was alone on the cross.

[00:06:36] And because he was, you are never alone.

[00:06:40] He is always with you.

[00:06:42] I heard that.

[00:06:43] I felt that as plainly as anyone speaking to me in the room.

[00:06:49] Was it out loud?

[00:06:50] No.

[00:06:52] God with us.

[00:06:54] We are not alone.

[00:06:56] As we visit this day and what it means to each of us, first personally, but also as a nation, America.

[00:07:05] The United States of America born, yes it was, in Christian faith.

[00:07:11] Our souls were dead to begin with.

[00:07:13] Yes, I stole that line from the Christmas story by Charles Dickens.

[00:07:18] Marley was dead to begin with.

[00:07:20] But in brokenness, sin as humans, we were born in sin nature, as was revealed in Adam and Eve.

[00:07:29] That original sin separated us eternally from God.

[00:07:33] Adam and Eve knew they had sinned and they hid from God.

[00:07:37] They walked daily with God, but now they were hiding.

[00:07:42] Notice that God came looking for them and he inquired about them.

[00:07:48] In Genesis 3, we read,

[00:07:51] Then the man and his wife, this was after they ate of the fruit.

[00:07:54] Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day.

[00:08:01] And they hid from the Lord among the trees of the garden.

[00:08:07] But the Lord called out to the man,

[00:08:09] Where are you?

[00:08:10] And he answered,

[00:08:12] I heard you in the garden.

[00:08:13] I was afraid because I was naked.

[00:08:15] So I hid.

[00:08:16] Now, stop and think.

[00:08:19] Were they not always naked?

[00:08:21] Up until this time,

[00:08:23] why now speak of being naked?

[00:08:27] Of their nakedness?

[00:08:29] You know, I was listening to Charles Swindoll a long time ago.

[00:08:33] And he made a statement that I've never forgotten.

[00:08:36] Perhaps now, speaking of Adam and Eve,

[00:08:39] always, I mean, all of a sudden realizing they're naked.

[00:08:43] Perhaps it was the first time they were looking at their self instead of at God.

[00:08:50] And I kind of agree.

[00:08:52] The ultimate sin is selfishness.

[00:08:54] That of putting ourselves and our desires above and before God.

[00:08:59] Go back to the scripture.

[00:09:01] And he, God, said,

[00:09:03] Who told you you were naked?

[00:09:05] Have you eaten from the fruit that I commanded you not to eat from?

[00:09:09] And thus,

[00:09:11] now the first sacrifice to cover man's sin.

[00:09:15] This will be the first one.

[00:09:17] But it will not be the last one.

[00:09:20] The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and Eve.

[00:09:24] And clothed them.

[00:09:25] Where do you get that skin?

[00:09:27] You're listening to CSC Talk Radio.

[00:09:29] This is Beth Ann.

[00:11:09] Melody Sederstrom of Discount Gold and Silver Trading

[00:11:11] has been watching our economy and the banksters for well over 20 years.

[00:11:15] The U.S. has an unsustainable debt

[00:11:17] and while the timing of a collapse cannot be predicted,

[00:11:20] we know the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back

[00:11:23] weighs heavier and heavier with each new stimulus and omnibus bill.

[00:11:27] Because of our debt and the lack of solid backing,

[00:11:30] those fiat dollars in your pocket continue to deflate in value.

[00:11:33] However, gold stays true.

[00:11:35] True wealth.

[00:12:00] Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of Power the Future,

[00:12:04] agrees that America is blessed with an abundance of reliable energy sources.

[00:12:08] Our natural resources are the lifeblood of our nation

[00:12:11] and have made our nation prosperous.

[00:12:14] Rural America is the heart of production in this nation.

[00:12:16] Our food, manufacturing, trucking, and yes, our energy.

[00:12:21] Power the Future promotes jobs in rural America,

[00:12:23] specifically our energy jobs.

[00:12:25] These jobs are all under attack.

[00:12:28] Wealthy radicals like Tom Styers and George Soros

[00:12:31] promise to break the nation's energy independence.

[00:12:34] Their beloved Green New Deal attacks all that is good in this nation.

[00:12:38] Our food, our land, our jobs, our families,

[00:12:41] and of course, our gassy cows.

[00:12:59] And we have returned.

[00:13:05] You're listening to CSE Talk Radio.

[00:13:07] This is Beth Anna.

[00:13:09] Now, now, it's kind of early to be stuffing your mouth full of fudge,

[00:13:12] so you hang on now because you've got to get your lunch in.

[00:13:14] You know that.

[00:13:15] So when we left off, we were in the Garden of Eden.

[00:13:22] And they realized that they were naked.

[00:13:27] So there was a sacrifice that day in the Garden of Eden.

[00:13:30] One, an animal or two, had to die in order to cover the nakedness of Adam and Eve.

[00:13:37] Now, remember, God went and got those animals.

[00:13:43] God sacrificed those animals to cover the nakedness of Adam and Eve.

[00:13:50] God, however, chose skins to cover Adam and Eve,

[00:13:53] and the Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.

[00:13:59] Do you reckon he had a singer sewing machine?

[00:14:02] Okay.

[00:14:03] All right.

[00:14:04] I'm just jesting.

[00:14:06] But he then made the way for our deadliness.

[00:14:12] Yes.

[00:14:13] And the way was him.

[00:14:17] Our Heavenly Father sent his only begotten Son as the sacrifice to atone our sins that we might live.

[00:14:26] Marley was dead to begin with.

[00:14:29] He will not come back to life.

[00:14:31] But through Jesus Christ, you and I will have life and commune eternally with our Father, the triune God.

[00:14:42] Yes.

[00:14:43] Yes.

[00:14:43] We were dead to begin with.

[00:14:46] But through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are born anew.

[00:14:51] In Genesis 3.

[00:14:53] In Genesis 3.

[00:14:53] In Genesis 3.15.

[00:14:53] And I will put enmity between you and the woman.

[00:14:59] This is to the serpent.

[00:15:00] And between your offspring and hers.

[00:15:03] He will crush your head.

[00:15:06] He will crush your head.

[00:15:07] And you will strike his heel.

[00:15:09] Now, perhaps you think this is a strange way to begin our Christmas show.

[00:15:14] But there is much yet to learn about this plan of salvation.

[00:15:17] From the Old Testament to the New Testament.

[00:15:20] Our Heavenly Father reveals his love, loving plan for our salvation.

[00:15:27] It was a sacrifice.

[00:15:29] A gift.

[00:15:31] The greatest gift of all.

[00:15:33] John 15.13 says,

[00:15:36] Greater love has no man than this.

[00:15:39] To lay down one's life for his friends.

[00:15:46] I started one of my speeches one time.

[00:15:50] Liberty was dead to begin with.

[00:15:51] I'm not sure the audience understood what I was trying to say.

[00:15:55] For liberty does come from God.

[00:15:57] And it is his gift to us.

[00:15:59] But there are always greedy men and women who will seize your ability to enjoy liberty.

[00:16:06] They wish to be God over you.

[00:16:09] And Lord over you.

[00:16:11] They wish to oppress you.

[00:16:13] Liberty.

[00:16:15] We claim that in America.

[00:16:17] America.

[00:16:18] All mankind was in.

[00:16:20] And many still remain so oppressed.

[00:16:26] Captive.

[00:16:27] To our own sins.

[00:16:28] For we are a sinful nature.

[00:16:32] That is our nature.

[00:16:33] But there's a happy ending to each of our personal stories if you accept and believe in the Savior.

[00:16:39] The baby in a manger.

[00:16:41] Who came to die on a cross.

[00:16:44] He is our Redeemer.

[00:16:45] He paid the price.

[00:16:47] The greatest gift of all.

[00:16:49] His life.

[00:16:51] But he was also God.

[00:16:53] And he rose from that dead.

[00:16:56] So that we might live.

[00:17:00] You might be thinking, hey Beth.

[00:17:02] This is Christmas, not Easter.

[00:17:03] But it is the plan of salvation which started in the Garden of Eden.

[00:17:07] Took on the form of man in Bethlehem.

[00:17:10] In the Christ child.

[00:17:11] And died on the cross.

[00:17:13] But rose from the grave.

[00:17:14] The story is eternal.

[00:17:17] Our salvation was bought and paid for on the cross.

[00:17:21] When Jesus said, it is finished.

[00:17:25] In simplifying the story for time's sake.

[00:17:29] From the cradle to the cross.

[00:17:32] Perhaps a strange way to save the world.

[00:17:35] But it was God's way.

[00:17:36] And his way is always the best way.

[00:17:40] I directed several different cantatas.

[00:17:43] Christmas cantatas.

[00:17:43] Easter cantatas.

[00:17:44] And such.

[00:17:45] And one of them was actually titled.

[00:17:48] From the cradle to the cross.

[00:17:50] And when we had the nativity scene.

[00:17:54] We rigged it up.

[00:17:56] I had good techie people.

[00:17:57] So that you could see a shadow.

[00:17:59] Of a cross over that cradle.

[00:18:01] Over that cradle.

[00:18:03] And I remember my daddy talking about.

[00:18:07] Don't leave that baby in the manger.

[00:18:10] For he is a king.

[00:18:12] A savior.

[00:18:17] My sons and I were talking.

[00:18:19] My oldest and my youngest the other day.

[00:18:21] And they were telling me about this song.

[00:18:23] Which I have not heard.

[00:18:26] And.

[00:18:27] It's.

[00:18:28] Oh come.

[00:18:29] All you unfaithful.

[00:18:32] Strange isn't it?

[00:18:34] We think.

[00:18:34] Oh come.

[00:18:35] All ye faithful.

[00:18:36] This is.

[00:18:37] Oh come.

[00:18:38] All you unfaithful.

[00:18:40] Come weak.

[00:18:41] And unstable.

[00:18:43] Come.

[00:18:44] No.

[00:18:44] You are not alone.

[00:18:46] Oh come.

[00:18:47] Barren and waiting ones.

[00:18:49] Weary of praying.

[00:18:51] Come see what your God has done.

[00:18:54] Christ is born.

[00:18:55] Christ is born.

[00:18:58] Christ is born for you.

[00:19:00] Oh come.

[00:19:01] Bitter and broken.

[00:19:02] Come with fears unspoken.

[00:19:05] Come taste of his perfect love.

[00:19:07] Oh come.

[00:19:08] Guilty and hiding ones.

[00:19:10] There is no need to run.

[00:19:12] See what your God has done.

[00:19:14] Christ is born.

[00:19:16] Christ is born for you.

[00:19:18] He is the lamb who was given.

[00:19:21] Slain for our pardon.

[00:19:23] His promise is peace for those who believe.

[00:19:27] So come.

[00:19:28] Though you have nothing.

[00:19:30] Come.

[00:19:31] He is the offering.

[00:19:32] Come see what your God has done.

[00:19:35] Christ is born.

[00:19:37] Christ is born.

[00:19:39] Christ is born for you.

[00:19:43] The Christ child.

[00:19:46] He came to save us.

[00:19:49] From what?

[00:19:51] What are we fighting today?

[00:19:53] It was a spiritual war then and it remains a spiritual war today.

[00:19:57] In Ephesians we read and I've shared this so many times with you.

[00:20:01] Rudy has a little silicone wristband that he wears.

[00:20:07] For we wrestle not with flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness.

[00:20:14] But this world against spiritual wickedness in high places.

[00:20:21] He put on the full armor of God.

[00:20:23] That's what Rudy says.

[00:20:24] It says,

[00:20:26] We must remember this.

[00:20:27] It is easy for us to get discouraged today.

[00:20:30] But we absolutely cannot allow doubt to consume us.

[00:20:34] Who is it we doubt?

[00:20:37] God is already victorious.

[00:20:39] The battle is over.

[00:20:41] Jesus won.

[00:20:43] He bought us.

[00:20:44] The debt of our sin is paid in full.

[00:20:48] He bought us not to be slaves.

[00:20:50] He bought us to give us freedom.

[00:20:52] Freedom.

[00:20:53] He set us free.

[00:20:55] He.

[00:20:57] What has he done?

[00:20:58] What he has done cannot be undone.

[00:21:02] We are more than conquerors.

[00:21:05] Out of Romans.

[00:21:07] What then shall we say in response to these things?

[00:21:10] If God is for us, who can be against us?

[00:21:13] He who did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all.

[00:21:18] How will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

[00:21:24] That's not talking about material things, my friends.

[00:21:27] Who will bring any charge against those from God has chosen?

[00:21:32] It is God who justifies.

[00:21:34] Who then is the one who condemns?

[00:21:37] No one.

[00:21:38] Christ Jesus who died, more than that, who was raised to life, is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

[00:21:49] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

[00:21:53] Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

[00:21:59] As it is written,

[00:22:00] For your sake we face death all day long.

[00:22:05] We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

[00:22:07] No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

[00:22:13] For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, or any powers,

[00:22:21] neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[00:22:32] So many of us today, we get upset, and rightfully so, about all the horrible, terrible things that we're seeing in America today,

[00:22:40] and really around the world.

[00:22:43] We should take comfort, though, and perhaps fear as well, that our God is in control.

[00:22:50] Yes, even in this chaos and wickedness, we seem to find ourselves to be witness today.

[00:22:58] How to Job.

[00:23:00] He pours contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty.

[00:23:03] He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings utter darkness into the light.

[00:23:08] He makes nations great, and he can destroy them as well.

[00:23:11] He enlarges nations and disperses them.

[00:23:14] He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason.

[00:23:18] He makes them wander in trackless ways.

[00:23:21] I love that part.

[00:23:22] They grope in darkness with no light.

[00:23:24] He makes them stagger like drunkards.

[00:23:27] Sounds a little bit like America today, or at least our leaders, don't you think?

[00:23:31] But it is a hopeful thing, because God is in control.

[00:23:35] So we are more than conquerors.

[00:23:38] Enter each battle to know that you have already won it.

[00:23:42] You're listening to CSC Talk Radio.

[00:23:44] We'll be right back.

[00:24:04] For centuries, those who raise, breed, and work with animals have been revered and lauded for what they do.

[00:24:10] Today, across America, the rights to own and raise animals are under attack by animal rights activists

[00:24:15] and their increased influence on government and non-government agencies.

[00:24:20] This onslaught regularly violates protection from legal search and seizure

[00:24:23] and a citizen's right to due process of the law, all of which are outlined specifically in the U.S. Constitution.

[00:24:29] Protect your animals, your animal enterprise, and your property from this abuse of power

[00:24:34] with a membership to the Cavalry Group.

[00:24:37] Membership provides immediate access to their team to protect law-abiding animal owners and animal enterprise

[00:24:42] against unwarranted search and seizure and false claims.

[00:24:46] They also work to protect their members' interests legislatively at the local, state, and federal levels.

[00:24:51] Get the shield that protects you, your animals, and your property.

[00:24:54] Join the Cavalry Group today.

[00:24:56] Call 855-748-4210 or go to their website at thecavalrygroup.com.

[00:25:04] Friends, I want to talk to you very frankly about the increasing civil unrest we're seeing these days.

[00:25:10] You can't turn on the news without hearing about more riots, violence, looting, killing, lawlessness, and mayhem.

[00:25:17] Sadly, I think the worst is yet to come, and the crescendo will be quite painful.

[00:25:22] However, I want to focus your attention on what you can do to survive.

[00:25:27] Priority one in times like these is to make sure you have enough food to eat.

[00:25:32] If you know me, you know I fully endorse My Patriot Supply.

[00:26:03] Hello, I'm Mike Lindell, the inventor of MyPillow.

[00:26:07] For the longest time, I've wanted to come out with the world's most comfortable bedsheets.

[00:26:11] But up until now, I haven't been able to find anything that held up to my high standards.

[00:26:16] I've finally found the best cotton in the world in a region where the Sahara Desert,

[00:26:21] the Nile River, and the Mediterranean Sea all come together to create the ideal weather conditions for growing cotton.

[00:26:28] My new Giza Dream bedsheets are made with this long staple cotton,

[00:26:33] and I guarantee they'll be the most comfortable sheets you'll ever own.

[00:26:38] The first night you sleep on my sheets, you'll never want to sleep on anything else.

[00:26:43] The Giza Dream sheets are available in a variety of colors.

[00:26:46] And like all of Mike's products, they come with a 60-day money-back guarantee and a 10-year warranty.

[00:26:52] Right now, you can get your very own by calling 1-800-978-6168

[00:26:59] and use the promo code BETHANN to get 30% off plus free shipping.

[00:27:05] For such a time as this,

[00:27:07] we know that the heart of a nation takes on the heart of its people.

[00:27:11] If the people have turned from God, the nation is doomed in sin.

[00:27:15] God is in control of all nations and their leaders.

[00:27:17] Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities,

[00:27:20] for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

[00:27:25] If my people, which are called by my name,

[00:27:28] shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,

[00:27:33] then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

[00:27:38] The future of this nation is relying on the bended knees of the people, God's people.

[00:27:42] Will you accept this challenge to sacrifice five minutes a day to kneel and to pray?

[00:27:47] For such a time as this, Queen Esther was put in place by God to save her people.

[00:27:52] You have that same obligation now.

[00:27:54] Will you humble yourselves and pray, ask forgiveness and trust in our God to heal our land and bring America home?

[00:28:08] And we have returned to listening to CSE Talk Radio.

[00:28:10] This is Beth Ann.

[00:28:11] Merry Christmas, America!

[00:28:12] It is Christmas, and we're trying to...

[00:28:14] We're going from the cradle to the cross and the resurrection,

[00:28:17] and we're talking about our nation because it was built on Christian principles, on Christ.

[00:28:25] And last week we spoke, and I read to you an article from Tom Klingenstein,

[00:28:32] and he was talking about how we need to rise up.

[00:28:36] There's someone out there, he said, more than one, who can stand up.

[00:28:42] And I challenge you today, as you celebrate salvation, that's basically what Christmas is.

[00:28:48] We're celebrating the salvation, our salvation.

[00:28:54] We need to not fear to stand up for what is correct, what is common sense, what is righteous.

[00:29:05] We need righteousness in this nation.

[00:29:10] The same God who created the heavens and the earth out of nothingness.

[00:29:15] The same God who separated the light and the darkness.

[00:29:19] The same God who separated the land from the waters.

[00:29:22] The same God who created all life, mammals, fowls, fish, reptiles, even bugs.

[00:29:27] I'm still wondering why spiders, ticks, and mosquitoes.

[00:29:31] The very same God who created mankind in his own image.

[00:29:37] Created he them, male and female.

[00:29:39] Created he them.

[00:29:40] The same God.

[00:29:42] He is still in power.

[00:29:45] He is still in control.

[00:29:47] He does allow us to have this thing called free will.

[00:29:50] And we mess it up a lot.

[00:29:52] But he is the triune God.

[00:29:55] The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.

[00:29:57] And he is not and never will be shaken from his throne.

[00:30:01] This is the same God our forefathers followed and committed their lives.

[00:30:06] And this nation, the new world, too.

[00:30:09] This is the same God and his laws that our founding fathers built this nation on and our laws, our Constitution, our Bill of Rights.

[00:30:17] So if this is the same winning God, why is it that America is now in trouble?

[00:30:28] Why does America seem to be so corrupt and full of sin and ugliness?

[00:30:33] Well, the answer is easy.

[00:30:35] The people of this nation have forgotten their roots.

[00:30:40] God's word is no longer in their hearts as the foundation of this nation.

[00:30:44] And without a strong foundation, no matter what you're building, it will sink.

[00:30:52] It will collapse.

[00:30:55] A nation of people who have turned from their God will suffer by being captured in their own sins or the sins of others that they have allowed.

[00:31:06] Christmas is the perfect time for all Americans, Christians, all American Christians, to realize who they are and whose they are.

[00:31:19] And recommit our lives, recommit our hearts to the God of Abraham and Isaac.

[00:31:29] To renew our spirits with the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

[00:31:36] He's not just a baby in a manger.

[00:31:41] He's a Savior.

[00:31:44] Sitting at the right hand of his Father right now.

[00:31:47] Most of us have heard music.

[00:31:50] And hopefully the words of the music of the Messiah, you've heard that by George Frederick Handel.

[00:31:57] All the words are basically scripture.

[00:32:00] And there's a bass solo, which I will brag a little bit, that my oldest son's song sang.

[00:32:09] And it's based on Isaiah 9.

[00:32:12] And it says,

[00:32:16] Isaiah was warning Israel and was telling them of the coming Messiah as well.

[00:32:23] Nevertheless, there will be no gloom for those who were in distress.

[00:32:27] In the past, he humbled the land of Sebulun and the land of Nefertili.

[00:32:32] But in the future, he will honor Galilee of the nations by the way of the sea beyond the Jordan.

[00:32:37] The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.

[00:32:42] And those living in the land of deep darkness and a light has dawned.

[00:32:47] You have encouraged the nation and increased their joy.

[00:32:50] They rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.

[00:32:57] For as in the days of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor.

[00:33:07] Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning.

[00:33:15] Will be fuel for the fire.

[00:33:18] For unto us a child is born.

[00:33:21] To us a son is given.

[00:33:22] And the government will be upon his shoulders.

[00:33:25] And he will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

[00:33:33] Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.

[00:33:37] He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness.

[00:33:46] From that time on forever, the zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

[00:33:52] If you continue to read in this chapter, you will see God is not happy with Israel.

[00:33:57] Why?

[00:33:58] They have forgotten their God and are living in sin and worshiping other gods, little g's, because there is no other God.

[00:34:06] God sent his prophet Jacob to warn the people in hopes of them turning back to their God, the one and only God, Jehovah.

[00:34:20] When we celebrate Christmas, we are celebrating that new hope, that salvation.

[00:34:29] America has to come home.

[00:34:32] We must come home to this God.

[00:34:36] He is our foundation.

[00:34:38] He is still there.

[00:34:40] We are just running all over the place like crazy people.

[00:34:45] Sin takes you farther than you want to go and it keeps you longer than you want to stay.

[00:34:53] We are under the realms of the great deceiver right now, but only because we have turned our face away from our God.

[00:35:04] So we have been pretty heavy here today.

[00:35:07] And I guess I can apologize for that.

[00:35:10] I was going to throw in a few jokes and encourage you to, while you're eating your, I know, you're sneaking that fudge.

[00:35:17] I know you are.

[00:35:18] Or the cookies, the Christmas cookies.

[00:35:23] But think about what today really means.

[00:35:27] Now here's a little, you know, I always like to look up little poems.

[00:35:30] And I found this one kind of comical.

[00:35:33] After a thoughtful, almost painful pause.

[00:35:37] Now think about this.

[00:35:39] Bob sighed.

[00:35:42] I'm sorry for old Saint Santa Claus.

[00:35:46] There was no Santa Claus.

[00:35:49] There couldn't be when he was just a little boy like me.

[00:35:54] Did you ever think about that?

[00:35:55] It was Santa Santa.

[00:35:57] Hmm.

[00:35:58] There you go.

[00:36:00] There you go.

[00:36:04] But anyway, we also, as I said, we have these devotions that we take on during the week.

[00:36:11] And on December 19th, this was one.

[00:36:13] And I want to read it today because I want to encourage you.

[00:36:16] And I'm only going to read half of it.

[00:36:17] The first part talks about some history.

[00:36:19] About a hurricane and stuff that never.

[00:36:22] Anyway.

[00:36:23] It is our times are in his hands.

[00:36:28] Then he rose and we rebuked the wind and said to the sea, peace, be still.

[00:36:34] Mark 4, 39.

[00:36:37] Some storms, like what we're suffering right now in America, seem to go on forever.

[00:36:43] Whether it's a health crisis, a job disruption.

[00:36:46] Have you ever been fired or lost your job for some reason?

[00:36:49] A damaged relationship, broken hearts.

[00:36:52] A tough period at church.

[00:36:54] I think we've all been through some of those.

[00:36:57] They're pretty ugly.

[00:36:58] For the disciples, the storm lasted far too long.

[00:37:02] They feared death by drowning while their Lord slept peacefully in the stern.

[00:37:08] But Jesus knew the exact time to say, peace, be still.

[00:37:12] At that moment, the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

[00:37:17] Mark 4, 39.

[00:37:20] Let's learn to weather the storm by faith in Christ.

[00:37:24] Our times are in his hands.

[00:37:27] And in his timing, he will say, peace, be still.

[00:37:33] No water can swallow the ship where lies the master of ocean and earth and skies.

[00:37:39] Mary Baker.

[00:37:40] You're listening to CSC Talk Radio.

[00:39:20] She brings her unique perspective, drawing from her many life experiences and her love for God and country.

[00:39:26] As a young girl, her family moved from the big city to a small rural community where she would grow up, marry her husband, and together raise five sons.

[00:39:34] Along the way, she worked in factories, retail, sales, and medical clinic, and now lights up the airwaves on CSE Talk Radio.

[00:39:41] As the D.C. occupiers continue to drive our society into socialism and anarchy, the message to bring America home grows more crucial by the day.

[00:39:59] Well, just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Mike Lindell and MyPillow are launching the MyPillow 2.0.

[00:40:19] And now, with the brand new fabric that is made with a temperature-regulating thread, the MyPillow 2.0 is the softest, smoothest, and coolest pillow you'll ever own.

[00:41:01] Elmer Heinrich here to talk about minerals.

[00:41:03] Now, most people are aware our topsoil is depleted and our foods, especially fruits and vegetables, lack many minerals compared to years ago.

[00:41:11] Maybe that's the reason the world is sick.

[00:41:13] According to Dr. Linus Pauling, our bodies need 60 minerals every day, but on average we get less than 12 minerals from our foods.

[00:41:21] Immuno 150, an incredible nutritional supplement, can fill that gap because it contains 70 proloidal plant minerals and 80 additional nutrients, 150 in all.

[00:41:31] A month's supply of Immuno 150 is available for $54.95 by calling 888-316-2224 or on the website, immuno150.com.

[00:41:42] That's I-M-M-U-N-O-1-5-0.com.

[00:41:46] The 70 minerals are the key to good health and longevity, so call 888-316-2224.

[00:41:53] 888-316-2224.

[00:41:56] You'll be glad you did.

[00:42:04] And we have returned to listening to CSC Talk Radio.

[00:42:07] This is Beth Ann.

[00:42:08] Before we finish up, and we'll finish up seriously, I know it's been kind of a serious show.

[00:42:12] I hope I've enlightened you and encouraged you, though, because this is the hope.

[00:42:19] Faith, hope, and love.

[00:42:20] This is it, folks.

[00:42:23] The Savior.

[00:42:25] So I have a few Christmas little jokes.

[00:42:27] These are more like dad jokes.

[00:42:28] Now, Rudy and my husband like to tell these dad jokes, and it gets kind of crazy sometimes.

[00:42:35] They go on and on with them.

[00:42:37] They even found YouTubes that have them on there, all kinds of things.

[00:42:40] But anyway, so I'm going to give you a few of these, and then we're going to get back to seriousness.

[00:42:44] Because I think maybe you all need to come back around the radio for just a second, or the computer,

[00:42:49] however you're listening to the show, and let the kids hear these.

[00:42:52] Because this will give them some wisdom.

[00:42:57] Think outside the box.

[00:42:59] A little bit of logic.

[00:43:01] All right, number one.

[00:43:02] Did you hear about the man who stole an advent calendar?

[00:43:06] He got 25 days.

[00:43:10] Why didn't Rudolph get a good report card?

[00:43:14] Because he went down in history.

[00:43:16] Are you going to give me the answers over there?

[00:43:18] No, I don't know the answers.

[00:43:22] And I have some granddaughters that absolutely love snow globes.

[00:43:27] And I remember when I was a girl, I liked snow globes.

[00:43:29] How does the snow globe feel this year?

[00:43:33] A little shaken.

[00:43:36] I get that.

[00:43:38] What did the gingerbread...

[00:43:40] Now, I have to laugh about this one.

[00:43:41] Because the gingerbread...

[00:43:42] I attended a grandson's band concert, Christmas band concert, last week.

[00:43:49] And they all had to wear Christmas sweaters.

[00:43:51] And you can't see me, but I'm wearing an ugly Christmas sweater today that my siblings gave me.

[00:43:55] And it's a story about that.

[00:43:57] And it's ugly.

[00:43:58] But I wear it because my siblings gave it to me.

[00:44:01] And I can only wear it once a year.

[00:44:03] But these kids all dressed up like different...

[00:44:06] And the one had...

[00:44:08] It was gingerbread sweater.

[00:44:11] And it said, snap.

[00:44:15] Gingerbread, snap.

[00:44:16] All right.

[00:44:17] What did the gingerbread man put on his bed?

[00:44:21] A cookie sheet, of course.

[00:44:22] A cookie sheet.

[00:44:24] What do snowmen eat for breakfast?

[00:44:28] Ice Krispies.

[00:44:29] How do Christmas trees get ready for a night out?

[00:44:33] Well, they spruce up.

[00:44:35] Everybody knows that.

[00:44:37] Of course.

[00:44:38] What's the difference between the Christmas alphabet and the regular alphabet?

[00:44:45] The Christmas alphabet has no L.

[00:44:49] Rudy's laughing.

[00:44:50] I'm trying not to laugh.

[00:44:50] He's trying not to, but he is.

[00:44:53] What do you call a search engine that sings the best Christmas songs?

[00:45:00] Michael Guglet.

[00:45:02] You're not supposed to laugh at dad jokes.

[00:45:05] I'm sorry.

[00:45:06] You're supposed to roll your eyes around at dad jokes.

[00:45:09] Okay.

[00:45:09] We're going to finish up.

[00:45:11] One of them is Rudy's absolute favorite.

[00:45:13] He laughed and laughed and laughed.

[00:45:15] I did.

[00:45:16] And what did one snowman say to the other?

[00:45:21] Is it just me?

[00:45:23] Or do you smell carrots?

[00:45:26] It's just.

[00:45:27] We're going to end with that one because that one.

[00:45:29] I love it.

[00:45:30] That one is the best.

[00:45:31] The best.

[00:45:33] Well, today I want to encourage you.

[00:45:37] I know many of us are discouraged.

[00:45:38] I know this from talking with you, even family members.

[00:45:41] I was having a conversation with a family member,

[00:45:44] and every time I was encouraged, they'd throw in another but, but this, but that.

[00:45:49] And I said, stop with the buts.

[00:45:51] We are already victorious in Christ Jesus.

[00:45:56] So many today are discouraged.

[00:45:58] But our nation and the world, it's so crazy.

[00:46:04] So much violence, so much nastiness, so much sin.

[00:46:10] And the great deceiver, he is dancing in the streets.

[00:46:15] But I say to you, America, and anyone else who's listening,

[00:46:20] be not discouraged.

[00:46:23] Be encouraged.

[00:46:26] Be determined.

[00:46:27] Be determined.

[00:46:28] We have our miracle already.

[00:46:32] Today is the day that we celebrate that hope, that faith, that love, that agape love.

[00:46:39] Love came down and dwelt among us.

[00:46:44] You know, there's a song about, Mary, did you know?

[00:46:48] And one of the, my favorite phrases there, because I know as a mother, when you hold your child,

[00:46:55] did you know that when you kiss your child, you're kissing the face of God?

[00:47:03] Did you know that?

[00:47:07] That he would rise up and save you.

[00:47:10] God is in control.

[00:47:14] His arms are not too short.

[00:47:17] And yes, he is paying attention.

[00:47:19] And he is hearing our prayers.

[00:47:22] Out of Isaiah 59, God says,

[00:47:26] Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ears too dull to hear.

[00:47:35] But your iniquities has separated you from your God.

[00:47:39] Your sins have hidden his face from you so that he will not hear.

[00:47:45] Just like Adam and Eve were hiding in the garden.

[00:47:49] For your hands are stained with blood and your fingers with guilt.

[00:47:55] Our nation is guilty.

[00:47:59] We have turned from God.

[00:48:01] But his arms are not too short to save us.

[00:48:06] In 2 Chronicles, we read,

[00:48:08] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, seek my face, and turn from those wicked ways,

[00:48:17] then I will hear from heaven.

[00:48:20] And we'll forgive their sin.

[00:48:22] And we'll heal their land.

[00:48:26] I heard the bells on Christmas Day.

[00:48:30] Their old familiar carols play.

[00:48:33] And mild and sweet, their songs repeat of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

[00:48:39] And the bells are ringing, peace on earth.

[00:48:41] Like a choir, they're singing, peace on earth.

[00:48:44] In my heart, I hear them, peace on earth.

[00:48:47] Peace on earth, goodwill to men.

[00:48:50] And in despair, I bowed my head.

[00:48:52] There is no peace on earth, I said.

[00:48:54] For hate is strong and mocks the song of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

[00:49:00] But the bells are ringing, peace on earth.

[00:49:03] Like a choir singing, peace on earth.

[00:49:05] Does anybody hear them?

[00:49:07] Peace on earth, goodwill to men.

[00:49:10] Then rang the bells, more loud and deep.

[00:49:12] God is not dead, nor does he sleep.

[00:49:15] The wrong shall fail, and the right prevail.

[00:49:18] With peace on earth, goodwill to men.

[00:49:21] Then ringing, singing on its way.

[00:49:24] The world revolved from night to day.

[00:49:26] A voice, a chime, a chant sublime.

[00:49:29] Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

[00:49:32] And the bells, they're ringing, peace on earth.

[00:49:35] Like choirs, they're singing, peace on earth.

[00:49:37] And with our hearts, we'll hear them sing, peace on earth, goodwill to men.

[00:49:44] The light, the angels sing.

[00:49:47] Upon our hearts, we hear them.

[00:49:49] Peace on earth, goodwill to men.

[00:49:52] Peace on earth, goodwill to men.

[00:49:55] Merry Christmas, America.

[00:49:57] Let us work together for peace on earth.

[00:49:59] For come to the place.

[00:50:01] The holy child is laid, but he did not stay there.

[00:50:06] He rose up as our savior.

[00:50:10] Believe in him and work.

[00:50:13] Merry Christmas.

[00:51:42] Do we lack enthusiasm and understanding of the word liberty?

[00:51:50] Do we weep for liberty which we have lost?

[00:51:52] Or do we simply not understand the substance and sacrifice for which we were once privileged?

[00:51:58] Liberty.

[00:51:59] Webster defines liberty as the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's life, behavior, or political views.

[00:52:09] Today we seem to want restrictions.

[00:52:12] Government micromanaging our lives?

[00:52:14] But do we realize the cost?

[00:52:17] Alexander Hamilton once stated,

[00:52:19] There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty that makes human nature rise above itself in acts of bravery and heroism.

[00:52:27] As a republic, we the people must guard the liberty of others.

[00:52:30] We must continue the enthusiasm that will make men free.

[00:52:44] For centuries, those who raise, breed, and work with animals have been revered and lauded for what they do.

[00:52:52] Today, across America, the rights to own and raise animals are under attack by animal rights activists

[00:52:57] and their increased influence on government and non-government agencies.

[00:53:01] This onslaught regularly violates protection from illegal search and seizure

[00:53:05] and a citizen's right to due process of the law,

[00:53:08] all of which are outlined specifically in the U.S. Constitution.

[00:53:11] Protect your animals, your animal enterprise, and your property from this abuse of power.
