Ron_Edwards_American_Experience-Faith Friday

Hello, Ron Edwards here, I'm not in today, so enjoy our guest hosts. I shall return. Hi. I'm Pete Cunningham from Lankish's Lighthouse Radio Ministries. And you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. For launching three two one and away we go see. See see. Ladies and gentlemen. It's the Ron Edwards American Experienced talk show where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards. Good afternoon. My name, good afternoon. My name is Mark run But I'm the assistant pastor at Liberty Christian Fellowship and we are being joined by our head Pastor, Earl Wallace. And again we are from Liberty Christian Fellowship Church in Albany, New York, and our website is Liberty Christianfellowship Church dot o rg Pready Christian Fellowship's mission is to teach that the Bible applies to all aspects of life, including civics. Pastor Earl, can you hear us? Looks like we're having some technical difficulties with Pastor Earl's feed right now, so I'm going to jump in and talk about what we do teach at Liberty Christian Fellowship, that again, the Bible applies to all aspects of life, including civics. Our rights come from the Bible, the Ten Commandments of the Bible and the Bill of Rights have been put into place to protect we, the people's Ten Commandment rights from the government looking to take those rights away from us. Jesus taught in the Great Commission that we are to go out and to make disciples of all nations. Nations that is a gathering of people in one country. And so we need to be really effective in teaching and bringing up people into the understanding of where our rights come from, why they were put into place to protect our rights, and how we go about applying and protecting those rights. Are we still having problems with it looks like we are not having ear Earl's connection coming through and it's unfortunately. We have done some planning to talk through some different points here, but I'm going to work through with that. As I said, we are looking to make disciples and apply the Bible to every aspect of life, including civics. So how do we go about doing that well? That we need to understand what the Bible teaches on that our rights are protected by the ten command of the Ten Commandments, those our inalienable. You try it on my phone, can you hear me? Yes? Co Ederal. So I've basically started the introduction that we've got the Commission and that the Bill of Rights and are protecting our ten Commandment rights which are the source of our inalienable rights. And I just wanted to let you jump in and pick up where you were looking to lead off with what we teach. Okay, Hi, I'm pastor Earl Wallace of the Liberty Christian Fellows at church, and we teach something called the Biblical basis of the Bill of Rights. There are roughly ten Commandments, not roughly, there are ten commandments, and there are ten Bill of Rights, and each of the Bill of Rights are designed to compel people in government to treat we the people according. To the Ten Commandments. The ten Commandments enumerate what the Declaration of Independence calls are inalienable rights. When God says du shall not murder in ten Commandment numbers. When he says thou shalt not sexually molest or or malign, or deceive or confuse in ten Commandments number seven, when he says thou shalt not steal in ten Commandments number eight. When he says, in ten Commandment number nine, we should not lie to or about others, and in ten Commandment number ten that we should not use our positions or our power government power, especially to covet other people's four peace, their persons, their peoples, their positions, and their possessions. God is saying everyone has a right for those things. Not to happen to them. When God says in ten Commandment number five that children should honor their parents, the states should not interfere in the sanctity of that relationship. Those are our ten Commandment number five parental and family rights. The challenge we have in America is that the only people who really can administer our ten commandments inalienable natural rights are people who worship God according to the first four commandments. And those commandments are Commandment number one, I'm the Lord that God, have no God before me. Commandment two do not use make any graven images of anything that's in the earth, above the earth, or on the earth in your worship of Me. That means you don't make man made statues. And Commandment number three, do not use the Lord's name in vain, use his name reverently as if he indeed is the creator of the universe and the savior of all mankind humankind. And number four, we should take one day a week or maybe two days a week to go to church and to honor God by studying his word and Bible studies. Am I still on? I heard a great So what we're trying to do is to get Americans to understand that the Ten Commandments enumerate are inalible rights, and that the Bill of Rights are designed to compel people in government to treat we the people according to the Ten Commandments, which are. The way God wants us to live. For example, in ten Commandment, the founding filers realized that in Ten Commandments number. Six, God gives us the right to not be murdered. So they gave us the Second Amendment right to defend ourselves, both from private citizens that would try to murder us on an aberrant police force or an aberrant government who wants to send soldiers out to violate our Ten Commandments' rights. So what we see over in England right now is they're looking to ban They've already. Banned all the guns over there. They're looking to now ban the use of swords, so they are looking to take the people's abilities to defend themselves there that they would be coming up against a difficult process to take those rights here, because. We have it. It's a god given it's a right that we are born with. It's not something that's been granted by the government. And if I'm understanding what you're telling us is that the Second Amendment was put into place to protect those rights. Absolutely. The first thing that that really was the shot fired around the world during the American Revolutionary War was when, of course they had the Boston massacre. But after that the British government came to Lexington to take away the. Weaponry of the Americans. And it was a pastor who leed his congregation out to the bridge to make sure that the British and weren't able to pass. And to do that, that was. The Reverend Jonas Clark, and we had he was the mentor for for John Hancock and John Adams and Paul Revere's. So some of the notable founding fathers. Amen the found The father said that the American Revolution came out of the sermons they had heard the ten ten years before. So America was not founded on separation of Church and State. It was founded by people applying the founding generations of America, applying the Bible to every aspect of life, including civics, which they began to do in the sixteen twenty Mayflower Compact. They followed through the seventeen seventy six Declaration of Independence, which says we have nailable rights that come from our Creator, and then in seventeen ninety one with the Bill of Rights. I believe we're about to take a break. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Hello, my name is Pastor Earl Pastor Earl Wallace of Liberty Christians Vollowship in Upstate New York and you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. Ron and I are both Patriots who are dedicated to the restoration of our beloved USA. Do COM's shout that run because the wire round that Freese Talton Meg is one bombas this match likea ziver and it strikes an anger. Man takes off the shoes. Love grows by the fine uh. In this next segment, Mark and I are going to demonstrate how as Christians we should be analyzing every news story by whether or not it supports or violates our Ten Commandments rights, keeping in mind that the Ten Commandments are the way God wants us to live. The American government started by people who were Bible believing born again Christians. They weren't just religious, because if you apply the values of religion called Islam the Civics, you end up with a Sharia law country. And if you apply the rights of basically the Catholic Church, you really end up with the socialist countries that you see down in South America. Is your mic muted right now says I'm on hold, You're on go aheadfully. So. The Ten Commandments are the way God wants us to live. America was not found by religious people. They were found by Bible believing people whose religion happened to be Biblical Christianity. If I apply the values of other religions the Civics, such as Islam. If I apply the values of Islam the Civics, we end up in a Sharia law country. If I apply the values of Catholicism to Civics, we end up with a socialist dictatorship like we see throughout Europe and South America. But if I apply the God's Ten Commandments rights to our Civics, we end up with what I call the Biblical basis of the Bill of Rights. So, now Mark and I are going to demonstrate how you can if you understand your Ten Commandments rights, you can analyze every news segment by whether or not the people in those stories are violating our rights or supporting the rights that God gives us. So the first one I'm going to talk about is the abortion industry. Planned Parenthood put out its annual report in twenty twenty, and it performed three hundred and fifty four thousand, eight hundred and seventy one abortions in twenty nineteen and twenty eighteen which was an increase of nine two hundred from the previous year, and they have reported over three point three million abortions. Over the past ten years. This is why we do not want our tax dollars we have we have, we have. We believe in the Ten Commandments. We believe thou shall not murder. We do not want our tax dollars supporting a program and an initiative that is murdering babies. If one has a Ten Commandments value system, one knows that taking the life of a preborn child in the womb is what God calls murder in the Bible. And we don't want to be on the wrong side of God's commands with our value system. What do you say, Mark, Well, that's exactly right, because we do have that right to life. Does really and our founding fathers were so clear in the Declaration of Independence, we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. God God has. Given us life. He is the one that determines when we enter the world and when we go out of this world, and He has given us that protection that we should not be. Murdered, as he says in his words. We've gotten that in the Bible two times, both in Exodus twenty as well as in Deuteronomy five. It seems pretty clear that that was a specific right that God wanted us to value life, and that he is our creator. He brings us in at the appropriate time, and he determines the number of days that we have in this world, and so we should not be murdering, and we don't want to be murdered ourselves. We would not go out and look to murder others. And you know, God also Jesus Christ himself reinforces ten commandment at number six, the provision against being murdered in the Sermon on the Mount. Hey, let's talk about activist judges. We've seen recently where judges have tried to negate our voting rights. Basically, in my opinion, that's a way to steal the outcome of my right to vote. There's only one person in the entire United States of America that all the citizens vote for, and that's the President of the United States. And overwhelmingly in this last election, they voted for the policies that Donald Trump campaigned on, which he is acting upon and implementing through his presidency. And we see these activist judges coming along and saying no, you can't do this and you can't do that. Mark, you're very very good at explaining how this violates our constitution in the way God wants us to live. What say you, well, first of all, you're stealing our rights of free speech. Also because we're being silenced when we're even raising these issues in a number of situations. A number of times people have raised the election integrity issues to the court and the courts have not given the plaintiff's standing to even hear that these rights are being stolen from them. We have the Ten Commandment rights not to be stolen from our rights. Those are important to us that we have the ability to exercise those. So really we have to hold the courts accountable. They need to be upholding what's in the Constitution, what our rights are, and when there's violations, we need to recognize those. The courts have been appointed to uphold the. Laws of the Constitution, not to act in violations of that. The executive has the authority to protect our borders. Without a secure border, basically, our rights are being stolen from We've got president that is looking to evict people that have come in illegally without rights access to this country. And that's part of the reason that we had a overwhelming, overwhelwhelming mandate from the electorates when President Trump was elected to secure our borders so that these rights are not stolen from us. Yeah, when someone climbs over the fence and violates our laws, they actually are stealing the rights of citizenship. And when justices support that, those justices and I challenge people, go look at the faith of the religion of those judges. They are not Bible believing people. They do not belong to Bible believing churches. Our founding fathers were Bible believing people. They were not deists. A daist is a person who believes that God is very, very far away, and therefore you need a human mediator to stand between you and God. The Bible says that there's one mediator between God and man. That's the man Christ, Jesus. Bible believing Christians go directly to the Bible, through which Jesus says he will the Holy Spirit will will illuminate us and explain to us everything there is about him, and that's been encapsulated in scripture, everything that God wants us to know about who he is and what he is about is encapsulated in scripture. Yeah, Jesus Christ told us that he would send the Holy Spirit as our counselor. He is our advocate, sitting at the right hand the hand of power of God, the Father, and he's he has direct access to the Father and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are one in thought and. Really are looking for us to honor them, give them the respect, and that they're looking to protect us and those rights that they've given to us. Amen. God gave us in the Bible. Jesus said, we are to pray to our Father. We're not supposed to pray any other prayer. Uh, And that our Father is not a repetitive prayer that we need to pray, but it's a pattern of how we pray. We talk to God, our Father directly. We had walked to talk to him about our daily needs. Our challenge in America is that we have gotten the deep state is really the infiltration of our government by people who don't have a Biblical Ten Commandments value system. I like to say it this way. America struggle, the world struggle is between people who have a ten Commandments value system and those who don't. There are struggles between people that believe it is okay to violate the Ten Commandments against you, like the man we saw ramming his ATV against a Tesla card the other day or yesterday, and there are other people that would believe that's wrong because that's an active vandalism. It's injuring someone else's property. It's a form of stealing, it's a form of Actually, if somebody was in that car and you slam into it, it's you're attempting to injure that person, which is a form of trying to perpetrate the violence of ten Commandment number six against people. We're going to after this segment, I believe we're going to do a few more of these headlines and then we're going to have Pastor Mark do with ten or fifteen minute Bible study at the end. What I'm looking at as a headline that shows that the GPS that Elon must put this out on X, that the people that are going to these pro Hamas protests and these BLM protests. You can't tell on the radio, but I'm a black person. I'm married to a white person. Pastor Mark is a white person, and we believe that God loves all people and that he doesn't get people special favors because of their race. He expects all people to come to Christ with the acknowledgement that we are sinners who need to be saved by the grace through the work that Jesus Christ did. On the cross. God didn't hoodwinket sin. Here's how Jesus Christ, the best man who ever lived, could die for all the sins of the world. And at one point in time in history. God is everywhere, always present. Right now. God pre exists the Book of Genesis, and he posts exists the Book of Revelation. And when Christ was hanging on the cross, at some point in time in history past, God reached into the Book of Genesis and swept all those sins on top of Christ. And then he reached into the time frame of the Book of Revelation and he swept all those sins back upon Christ. That's how one man, at one point in time could die for all the. Sins of the world. I believe we're getting ready to take a break. Hello. This is Mark Brumba with Liberty Christian Fellowship Church. I'm the assistant pastor, and you are listening to the Ron Edwards American Experiences. I'm going to change. Here's the salutary influence of the Bible of good thing or not. Hello, I'm Ron Edwards on today's page from the Edward's Notebook. What would the world be without it? Compare the dark places of the earth where the light of the Gospel has not yet penetrated or being rejected today with the places where, at the very least, the life affirming principles of seeking a righteous standard of living liberty including liberty and christ along with the recognition of our unalailable rights, including the right and duty to train up a child in the way that they should go, which, by the way, dictates the direction nation takes during the following generation. We the people of the United States of America, can no longer afford to reject the God who shed his grace upon our great republic, nor should we continue to reject and allow leftists to cast concrete moral principles out of society. The founding fathers warned that if we are not a nation of high moral standards, our republic will not be great.

Now only you beffing to come down from the heavenly, of the heavenly you die for me. Only you bef you to go down to that h to rescue com in Hanah Valley. Nothing who had me from yallad. You died with me or not? Oh? No, you not fail me this sign. You know, before we ended the last segment, we were talking about how Jesus Christ died for all the sins of all time at one point of time in history. And you know, when God reached into the time period of the Book of Revelation, and when God reached into the time period of the Book of Revelation has swept those sins at the end of time all the way back through Christ. My sins were included in that and sore years. So if you're a person who hasn't received Jesus Christ, if you want your sins forgiven by God, I will encourage you to take Jesus's words to heart. John fourteen six, Jesus says, I am the Way, the Truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me. Now. We also were talking about how Elon musk an X was explaining that. If you ping the phones of the people that are participating in these prohamas anti American, anti Maga make America Great events, you will see that it's the same people, many of the same people, going from demonstration to demonstration. And when the. Media tries to portray that these anti American anti Magna pro protesters are more popular than they are, that's the form of lying to us. The mainstream media is lying to us. If the media leaves out certain essential information from a report, that also is a form of lying, and lying violates the way God wants us to live. I noticed another headline here North Carolina school officials who forcibly jabb I don't know if the students fourteen hours fourteen at the times and the family has brought a court case. The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled that a mother and her fourteen year old son can sue a public school and doctors doctors group for giving him the job without consent. He protested and said I don't want this, and they wouldn't let him call his mother. Now a lawsuit is going to go forward. This is a good thing for us here in America because it supports our ten Commandment five rights that. There should be honored. The government should honor the rights, the parental rights within a family. Our laws were so based upon those rights that when Bonnie and Clyde, when Clyde's brother Varro was shot in the head in a car with them, they had to put him out of the car to get medical care. His wife, Blanche followed him. They never had Blanche take the stand against their husband. There are other ways that we can prosecute crime without violating God's Ten Commandments, rights and laws against all the people. We got about another Amendment nine of the Bill of Rights actually. Again gives us right. But ultimately, what what the what's been violated is that God has stewarded those parents to watch over that child, and the school is looking to usurp that that right from the parents. So they're they're taking away what God had given to them, and it's really the sanctity of that family unit that's being violated. Then the Ninth Amendment basically protects our rights. We have not given the rights to the government to determine what what goes into the bodies of our children. And you know, they can't determine what they eat, what they what they have put into their body when they go to bed. They're not paying for, you know, for the kids meals at home. Some kids may qualify for federally funded meals at the school, but that is not that's not part of what our rights are. So again that it's we see the government taking rights away from somebody that has no authority to give or take. You're very you're correct about that, Pastor Mark. The ten Commandment number nine ten rather gives us the right to not have people in government cover our four piece and that means our persons, our people, our positions, and our possessions. We have autonomous use and right to all those things. You know. The e PA, I've been saying this for about twenty years. The e PA was designed to violate we the people's rights over our positions, over our jobs. Thank god, President Trump is bringing these tariffs into play, which is compelling American industry to come back home as well as you know, foreign industries like the Rolls Royce Company is going to be building a factory a plant here in America, which is really good for our families because there are a lot of people who aren't you know, don't don't need to go to college. God has not wired them that way, but they're very good doing other things, and those people should be able to have good factory jobs and also construction jobs building these plants. Whether it's you're a tradesman doing an electrical service or whether you're a plumber, a carpenter, or a mason. Which you go ahead. What's interesting is that ties into also taking out the government from the education department, because, as you said, certain people are not wired to go to go to colleges to get degrees and to work in offices, and you know, you think about it, boys growing up have a ton of energy and being forced to sit in a classroom for six hours a day, that's not how they're wired to learn. A lot of boys need to have hands on being outside running around burning off energy, but also getting their hands onto things and figuring out how things are put together, how they come apart, and utilizing that creative skill sets and being forced to sit there listening to a lecture and getting information out of a book that is not how that person has been wired. So returning the education to the states and ultimately into each of the communities is the right way to go about how we run our education department. Absolutely. Now our challenge in New York on top of that is that we have some probably our state Department of Education and our governor are going to probably double down to continue to mentally and castrate our boys by making sure that they take ridlin to do what you said to be able to sit. In school. In a situation that is not necessarily how God has designed boys and men to be and to learn. So we have a lot of work to do here in New York State. We believe that President Trump is trying to give us the level playing field, but it is up to us, we the people, to understand the way God wants us to live, which is by exercising our Ten Commandments rights. And if government violates those rights, then we the people have to mass ourselves together to confront that. You have a break and when we come back, Pastor Mark is going to give. Us the Bible. You have a call from five to eight Area code. Let's let's take our here from Mark caller. Hello caller, you're on the air. We go ahead. Hello, hello, can you we can hear you? Go ahead? Ask your can you make a common or ask a question? Identify yourself if you'd like. That's your first name? Go ahead? Yes, Oh Melvin, how are you? You're very slight? You know, very I could barely here you hoping to hear him anyway, Pastor Mark, Pastor Earl. But Pastor Earl I is a lifelong friend of mine, and uh we both grew up here in Saratoga Springs, and I know Pastor Earl as budd so but he's still my brother and he's always he'll always be that, you know. I was just before President Trump's cabinet was was was formed, I had called Ron, and uh I have mentioned to him because I think it would be very very uh uh fitting for Ron to become President Trump's press secretary. If Caroline Leavitt ever decides he's had enough to to show the show America, uh, the other side of Black America, the intelligent and the patriots patriot side of Black America. A uh a verse that Jeane, what was a uh gene Pierre uh Kareem Jean. Very uh. Well, so she was playing uninformed, which I believe that could have been the case, while she's just wholly uninformed and and and in in unintelligent. When Ron would uh would definitely show America that there's a there's another side for those criminals, especially in Black America. I mean, it would be very fitting for him to take that, to take that position. If Caroline levi Itt have the side that she it was time, it was time for her to go for for her to go on to something else. But yes, that's what I want to express today. But I appreciate you taking my call. And but hopefully we'll see uh you uh at Papa Mark uh. Sometimes it's very very near future. But uh, there's no holiday, there's no Christmas, there's no Adulive, there's no Thanksgiving Day, and you've got to get up and do what you got to do. Twenty four twenty four sevens seven eight days a week. We should say. Anyway, appreciate you staking my call. And God bless both you and God bless America. Thanks you, well bless you, Thank you for calling. I believe we're going to be approaching a break. So when we come back, Pastor Mark is going to be he's going to lead us in a Bible study that we'll deal with. We'll look who's going to show how. The Bible applies to every aspect of life, including civics. We are Bible teachers. He's actually going to teach the Bible, but we do not ignore its application to every aspect of life, including civics. Is that correct, Pastor Mark? That is correct. We are going to be taking a quick look at walking through John twenty one, which Jesus really demonstrates what He's given to us in the Great Commission of Matthew twenty eight. And so we're just going to be looking at how Jesus utilizing common elements of fishing and feeding of sheep. That really points to what the mission of the church is of going out and making disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. So ron Edwards American experienced talk show where our unalienable rights are celebrated. You're going to be called crazy. Many people also called Noah crazy.

Ron Edwards American Experience, a charter member of the emerging new mainstream. Media is not the biggest, but your voices and actions are. So don't give up, is Patrick Kolbeck, And you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. And the loss. So we're going to look at John twenty one and study it's titled Christ's Commission gathers fish and ten sheep. Really, the responsibility of the Body of Christ, the ecclassea of the Church is portrayed in this chapter and there's two occupations things that are going on that Jesus really uses to demonstrate what the mission of the church is. In the Great commission. We are to gather souls, gather fish. We see the uh Peter and six of his friends going out on the Lake of Galilee fishing, and really fishing is gathering of souls. Fishing requires skill, patience, and perseverance. The term serves as a metaphor in the Bible for evangelism. It's the spreading of the gospel and bringing people into the Kingdom of God. Skill is developed by consistently practicing in activity. We may not be good the first two times, five times, ten times that we look to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with other people, but when we do something on a regular basis, when we make that part of our habit and speaking with people and just sharing that we have Jesus in our lives and letting that light of Christ shine through us, people see that we are different and that we have something going on there, and. They're interested in that. But we also when something is not going appropriately in somebody's life, we can point things out utilizing scripture or even just in conversations like Pastor Earl and I had going through the news headlines. When somebody approaches you and says comments about that, we can bring in the Bible on how that applies in all aspects of life, including civics. So the apostles are out fishing all night and they don't find anything. Jesus has shown himself to the disciples on the shore and he tells them to cast the net on the right hand side of the boat evangelism. That's again, as I'm saying, casting out the word of God on a regular basis, the right hand that is the seat of power. That's where Jesus Christ sits, and that's really where He's giving us the power and the deliverance from our sins. Basically, what the New Testament tells us is when we find something it's been lost, well what are we doing. We are going out there and we're finding the fish. And that's where Jesus is said. Cast on the right side, cast on what God's teaching and share what God and the power that we have through the forgiveness of our sins. And Jesus Christ, the siner discovers they are lost when the truth of God's word that's been cast to them takes authority, when that Holy Spirit comes upon them, they realize their need for their savior and know that Jesus says Pastor Earle had said, took on those sins on that cross, where he took the sins from all time, from Genesis swept on to him, from that time to the end of time of revelations, that they are forgiven. Now, what's the next step. Once you find somebody that they've received the good news of Jesus Christ, the forgiveness of sins, that's now when the work starts. We need to train to teach those disciples. And what's Jesus doing on the shore. Well, he's got a fish and bread cooking on a stove on a coal fire. So Jesus has. Instructed these the disciples to bring some of those that have been caught so that they can be served, served with the Word of God. The action of Jesus serves as a reminder of what he taught during his three year ministry, that he came not to not to be served, but to serve. And so we're supposed to be serving the needs of these new disciples. A new believer needs to be taught how to be a disciple of Christ, how to truly follow him. They need to learn the Word of God. They need to be in the Word. They need to learn how to obey those precepts, the Ten Commandments, what our rights are, and what the Bible tells us in all situations for life. So Jesus invites these people to come and have breakfast. When we sit together at a meal, that's fellowship, that's community, that's building one another up. The seven apostles that are on the boat, they see the charcoal fire with the fish and the bread laid out again, the fellowship of believers. We gather together to. Remember that we are purified or sanctified by the blood of Jesus. It's laying on the coal. Let's recall that what the Bible tells us. What is the fire. It's a purification ritual. The prophet Isaiah actually, when he was coming under commission by God, he said, I'm a man of unclean lips, and what does God do? He takes a coal of fire to purify those lips. So the coal fire again, it symbolizes that we have been purified, we have been sanctified, We've been made holy by coming into a receipt of Jesus as the atonement, the forgiveness of our sins. Jesus also tells us that we now followers that we go about, we baptize, we take communion together, that through the sacrament of communion, we remember and declare the death of Jesus Christ, the one that died because he loved us, and that we have a special relationship with him, and through partaking that that we are faithful to him, that he did it all for us. The bread and the fish. What does bread symbolize? Bread? It tells us that it's nourishment, It feeds us our souls. Bread, it's sustenance, provision. God provides all our needs, as Philippians four nineteen tells us, But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches and glory by Christ. Jesus again, he's the bread of life divides our needs. We can also we get the symbolism of bread. That's the Passover sacrifice that the Jewish people celebrated. That's the great Passover when Jesus passed over so that the death Angel did not take their lives. And that was the mode to get them out of their slavery, the slavery of sin. That demonstrates and the free, the free life in belief and following the. One True God. Fish. They were a common part of the desire the diet in that region, and again it part of it highlights that the ministry of Jesus Christ was humbled, was simple, and also it helps us to recall bread and fish its doctrine. The feeding of the five thousand and the four thousand. Jesus tells us that we have to beware of the doctrine of the Pharisees and the hero Indians, that they're looking to keep us from honoring God. He is the bread of life. We are fed by the word of God. And then we've got the next step. It's the tending of sheep. When Jesus has finally restored the apostle Peter, what does he tell them to do to go feed my lambs. That's teach the young children, it's the rules. Then shepherd my sheep. It's mature discipline for the mature. And then it's feed my little lambs. The special care of those that are young at heart and old men that are childlike in spirit. We need to have special care for these, for these young children. We are coming up on the end. But again, these two examples of feeding, of fishing, and of feeding the sheep just show us that that is the mission of the Church and how we apply the Bible to every aspect of life, including civics. God bless and just have a great week. And Ron will be back with you on Monday. And it's interesting, Pastor remark that in the Great Commission in Matthew twenty eight nineteen through twenty the Bible says Jesus says, go and make disciples of all the nations. And if we look at the book of Isaiah, which was mentioned in the beginning Isaiah one to one, this is the vision of Isaiah, the son of Amas, which he saw concerning Judah, the state, and Jerusalem in the days of three kings Issiah. Jotham, a Has and haze Kai. Actually four. He prophesied through the reigns of four kings. God so wants the state to obey him that he sent his prophet to the kings. We as Christians need to do likewise. And we're looking forward to meeting with you again soon and the next time that Ron has us host to show. Thank you for tuning in.
