Hi, I'm Pete Cunningham from Lankash's Lighthouse Radio Ministries and you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. Prepare for luncheon three two one and away we go. 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 day, Good day, good day. It's faith Day. This is a Run Edwards American Experience. I'm Ron Edwards and welcome. How are you. I know you're having a great day, aren't you. It's a great day in the neighborhood. And you know, despite some of the things that are going on that may be negative, there's always, well most of the time, a silver lining to these gray clouds. Well, oh yeah, we do have a great guest today, be Man Brian McKay, pastor, and he's going to be joining us in just a few moments. But in the meantime, let's take our attention towards England. By the way, thank you for tuning in from throughout the world, around America, throughout England, Spain and Belgium and other great places around our beautiful planet. But it's kind of sad to report that an ordained Church of England chaplain sacked and reported to a terrorist organization watchdog for a sermon that he recently preached concerning well he spoke against identity politics. And he's begun as appeal at the Employment Appeal Tribunal in England and he's supported by the Christian Legal Center the Reverend doctor Bernard Randall. He is seeking permission to appeal on thirteen grounds after his sacking was controversibly upheld and doctor Randall took legal action against Trent College in Derbyshire following his dismissal for a sermon he gave. Now this sermon was given way back in two thousand nineteen on the teaching on marriage and he gave the sermons saying that it was okay for students to question and debate LGBT teaching. After Trent College invited extreme gender identity group Educate and Celebrate into the school and their goal is to smash hetero normal activity amazing. Doctor Randall was subsequently back blacklisted as a safeguarding risk by the church and he has been barred from ministry for almost six years. In that time. However, doctor Randall's concerns over the E and C have been vindicated, with the government funded group plagued by scandal, including one of its own patrons facing multiple child sex offense charges. Facing repeated delays in his pursuit of full justice. Doctor Randall's appeal was stayed last year, penning the outcome of the landmark Christy Higgs case. At the Court of Appeal. Judge James Taylor justified the state due to the precedent of the Higgs ruling, which would set in a higher court for doctor Randall's appeal. Both cases involve issues of principle about the freedom for Christians to express their beliefs and opposition to harmful transgender ideology, sex education, extreme gender identity beliefs without fear of losing their jobs. Now just recently, missus Higgs, who has also been supported by the Christian Legal Center, won her groundbreaking case with judges ruling that her dismissal was disproportionate and constituted unlawful discrimination on the grounds of religion and belief. The reason why I brought this up, particularly about what the goings on in England, is because this exemplifies one of the things that we Christians here in America must do. Be willing to fight for our rights, because our rights came from whom they came from God. And therefore, since God gave us these rights to speak his truth, it is upon us to be willing to speak the truth, and to buck up and stand up against those who would want to squash our ability to speak the truth. Too often ministers are found on the street corners of London or Birmingham and elsewhere Manchester, and if they dare speak the word of God any of those street corners or in the parks throughout England, jolly old England, that is, they can be arrested quickly or pushed aside by people who don't want to hear about Jesus Christ. But yet the Islamists are allowed to dangle their decoration from lampposts block streets at any given time if someone tries to break through their street blockag Just guess who will get arrested. Not the person who needs to probably drive to work or wherever. I mean, I'm sorry, not the people that are blocking the streets, but rather the person who is being blocked and needs to get to work or wherever he is going or she is going, they will be arrested if they try to push through. A mob of Islamis to block the streets. And the reason why this is happening is because for too long Christians have been shown to be weak. Many times Christians only showed strength against one another. But now the world has to see us at develop the habit of publicly fighting against discrimination, which is another form of evil, and be willing to stand up for the right that God gave us to speak of the truth, to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I mean, how childish can these chumps be on the left? They're so childish and they're so sensitive. There's such sensitive dweebs that when they hear the name of Jesus they go to nutsville. If you don't want to hear the gospel, plug up your ears, pour some wax in it or whatever. Don't wash your ear for about a week. It'll plug up with wax and you'll be okay. But how dare these people want to get in the way of individuals who are speaking about the truths given to us by the one who created all of us, who owns the earth, he's the owner. We're just leasing, and we cannot be bothered by what they may come after us. With that, we have to be willing to just keep pushing, keep pushing. One of the reasons why the Islamists, the freak tooids of the world, the LGBTQ whatever or whatever, whatever. I forget how far up the you know, up the alpha bit they've gone. I know it's beyond the eye, but they just keep going, going, going, going, going. It's almost it's probably a Z. They've thought of something with Z recently, I think. But anyway, we have to be willing to just keep going and keep going and keep going. And we should have learned our lesson observing the leftist organizations. They started their stuff in the late fifties, and they were pushed down and pushed down. But guess what, they never stopped. They never stopped. They had their babies. They brought their babies up in an evil manner. They took over the schools, and ration after generation was taught further and further away from the principles of God and against patriotism as well. So, yeah, you're right, Doug, my producer says, think of any letter or number and they'll come up with something, but it is what it is. But there's some good things happening too. It was very heartwarming to see that HUT Secretary Scott Turner prayed over Los Angeles. He had a visit out there, not only just to pray, but to look over the sites where the fires had occurred that were allowed on purpose, and he prayed that the people that were affected would be the ones to rebuild their homes and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, and not be pushed out of the way or not be pushed into fifteen minute city housing, which is the goal, by the way, not long just a few weeks before the fires of California, the governor of California was meeting with the governor of Hawaii as they were discussing how people can be moved out of the way and they can take over their land and rebuild it with apartments for illegals, for freakazoids and fifteen minute city structures, so that would be controlled by government. But anyway, we've got these things and other things that are on my mind that I want to talk about. And Brian McKay he's here, he'll be discussing some of those things with me.

Hello, this is Apostle b Man from Victory Biker Church International and the Heavens Metal Radio Show. You're listening to Ron Edwards and the Ron Edwards American Experience. Hey, we're back. This is Around Edwards American Experience. Thanks again for joining us, and great day, Great day, and let's join our guest. His name is sepast b Man. Brian McKay, Hello, sir, and welcome back. Hey my brother Ron, it's good to be back with you. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, my friend. You are well aware of the administration, the Trump administration, and the things that they are doing, the things that they are trying to do, all that are good for our republic and even for the planet. Things that he's doing internationally and trying to work wars out and rumors of wars, and et cetera, et cetera. Do you think, just from your spiritual observation that the Trump administration and many of his actions and goals our reflection of the prayers of the saints over the past few years or several years based upon Second Chronicles seven fourteen. Yes, you know, in nutshell, yes, I do believe that he has got a mandate not only from the people of the United States of America, but he also has a mandate from Heaven. He's got direction. I know this last. Staff meeting, his first staff meeting in his secred second term, I think it was like what last week. And they opened up that staff meeting with all of his all of his secretaries, all of his directors, everybody there. The first thing they did was opened up with prayer. They honored God, and they asked the Holy Spirit to come in and lead and guide the meeting. That was such a profound moment. And I truly believe that God is working through him. Yeah, and that that's the one thing that sets this administration Apart from many others, I think that the one that comes closest to that in my lifetime is the Reagan administration. He was a prayerful man as well, but he wasn't as open about it as Trump, as I believe, but he wasn't dealing with the level of evil that Trump is dealing with either. I mean, we are literally, or have been literally in recent years, in a life or death situation for this country, and I think we've been spared for the time being anyway, massive destruction, let's say you. Yes, and I truly believe that's true. But the one thing that's restraining judgment falling upon this country and upon the world is those of us who are believers in Christ Jesus. It is the Holy Spirit that's restraining destruction on our behalf. That is what I believe and I see because I know that God gives, He removes kings, and he puts in kings. Well in our case, he removes presidents and he puts in presidents. And in this case, I truly believe that President Trump and Vice President Vance are men of God, men of faith. The President Trump. May not act like your normal Sunday Christian, but man he has got the anointing from heaven to fix what is broken. He understands and he sees it, and now he's doing something. He came the last time really not knowing how to operate as a president. This time he knows. He knows what's bad and he knows what's good, and he's undoing all the damage that the Biden administration did. And that's what we're dealing with right now. That's the sorrow that we're. Seeing in a way, because many of us are still suffering, many of us are still persevering, but our faith and our hope is in Christ Jesus, because God is still on the throne. We got to keep our focus on the Lord. Yeah, and that's what that's really what keeps us going, and that's what keeps the victories coming as well. But in the midst of the madness, I you know, sometimes I get a little disturbed when I see some of the shenanigans that are going on in the streets of America or even in Congress. When the other night, during his State of the Union address, the way the leftist Democrats acted, they were worse than spoiled brats, Yes, spoiled well, they actually they were acting like spoiled brats, not because like it's a child that just simply wants to do something or have a toy or and they have a tandrum. Now, these people went to Nutsville and continue to do so over a guy, a president and others who want this nation to be great, a nation under God with liberty and justice for all. That's what these people have been acting out against. And I think the good news is that they are so open now and so that anyone that has any doubt they still want to maintain doubt and pretend like, oh, because Trump isn't perfect. Oh, I don't know if I can fall in line with believing, you know, for better for America. But when they see how horribly these people are acting, it's even beyond what a typical moderate or a typical liberal, uh would would be able to stomach. What say you, Yeah, absolutely, they're exposing themselves in a very crude way. But think about it, beyond if God's hand his anointing is upon a person who is he's the one that always overreacts and oh hell, shall we say it goes nutzoid right because. Of the anointing of God. It is the devil and his imps right if we see it full blown right now, the anointing of God is on President Trump. His leadership and his skill sets and his directives that he's laying out, I truly believe are what must take place to save America, which God has not removed his hand from. But the ones that are fighting it are those that are given over to the spirit of Satan, the anti Christ. It's in full blown. You can just see it. If you don't understand it, you can definitely see it for sure. And they expose themselves and they expose this spirit. Yeah, and like I said, I think that's a good thing because they are soul Outland is so crazy. They're an embarrassment to anyone that has just a modocume of decency in their hearts, and it turns people off. Yeah. So in that regard, you see the military being cleaned out. You see they're trying to get a hold of education and clean it out. I mean, they're drastically trying to turn things around, you know, how to how out of all the main or the large organizations in the world, you know, the ones that is lead, I guess lagging the most in the area of cleaning itself up or being cleaned out from another source. One guess. The Democratic Party. Well okay, I'll say number two. Come on, now, you know it, you know it. One more guess, oh, okay, Or they're all getting cleaned out, aren't they. Boy, the one that church, the one that's lagging the most as far as cleaning out itself or being cleaned out from externally at the church. There you go, bingo, bingo. Mm hmm, Yeah, I won the prize. Yeah, well we'll we'll, we'll send you something in the mail. But uh yeah, And that's kind of heartbreaking, it is. But at the same time, that proves that the just like in the Dragon media, we have new media on my show and many others that are bringing the truth to America in the world, and ABC News is going broke. They're laying off massive amounts of people. I think the same thing similarly is happening in the traditional church. They're fading or their influence is feeding while you have millions and millions of sincere men and women, boys and girls who are seeking God and praying for this nation. That's how this nation even has the chance to turn around now, not because of the traditional church, which is slow to turn around. But the millions of people who are not in the traditional church and are just sincerely reaching out to God. What say you? And on that note, I know you've got to leave, but before you leave, you got to you gotta leave us with a prayer. You got that. I truly believe that the spirit of God is moving across the surface of this nation and the world, and he is drawing all men unto himself, all men and women unto themselves, unto himself, and. He's cleaning up his house. Scripture tells us that judgment comes to the House of God first, and that's what we're seeing. So let's not give up on the church, because the church is the Lord Jesus as he started it. But he's cleaning it up. He's cleaning up the bride. First. Let's stay involved in our churches. Stay involved. If you're part of victory by our church here in Michigan or around the world, please stay involved. We've got a lot of work to do. But saying that, let's pray. Let's pray for our country and our president. For sure. Father, we come before you. In Jesus' name, and Lord, I thank you, Lord God that this is the day that you have made, and we rejoice and are glad in it. And Lord, I thank you, We thank. You, Lord God for President Trump and Vice President Vance and their administration. Father, we plead the blood of Jesus over them, over their families, over all of their committees, and all of the organizations that they oversee. Lord, bless them and give them all wisdom from heaven. And we thank you Father for it. Lord, bless America. Bless us, O God, so that we will not give up, and we will not give up the fight against evil. We will not go against your word anymore. And Father, we pray that you would forgive us, O God, forgive us, O God, for Oh Lord, bending the knee to the whims of the evil one. And Lord, I just thank you, Father God, for forgiving us and cleansing us and restoring us back to our rightful place in You, to be the mouthpiece of your spirit, Lord God, to preach the Gospel worldwide, and to stand up for righteousness, stand up for holiness, stand up for the word of God. And Lord, I thank you that You're not done with us. And I thank you, Lord God for blessing us. Lord, we trust you that you are still on your throne, that none of this has surprised you, none of this has taken you by surprise. You knew, you know, and you are fixing. And so Lord, we pray, Lord, God, your kingdom come. Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. And we thank you Father for it. Bless my brother, Ron and bless this show. And I thank you Father for blessing everyone who listens to this. May your grace and your power be made known in America again. And we thank you Father in Jesus's mighty name. I pray Amen, Amen, thank you so much, and God bless you and your family and your church. And we look forward to our next visit. God bless you brother, Talk to you soon. Take care.

George Washington Carver wrote the famous quote where there is no vision, there is no hope. Helo. I'm Ron Edwards on today's page from the Aberge Notebook. The United States of America was founded primarily upon principles that enabled those of thrift and personal industry to achieve success and more importantly, leave the legacy of being an example of overcoming the odds with God's grace, making what was an impossible dream into accomplishment. In my thoughts, I am often reminded of the countless sovereign Americans who refused to allow bitterness and hate to become their life story. Still others rejected the fear of stepping out and boldly traveled the road of success in their lives. To my fellow Americans, I beseech you to embrace God's gift of life in this the greatest nation ever known, and let us seek providential guidance and grand vision of greatness and seize it. If we do, the United States of America will be great again. So help us God. I'm run Edwards. Enjoy the Run Edwards American Experience three pm Eastern Time daily.

Sign yes, this, I know this is around there words American Experience faith Day and thanks again for joining us. And you know contemporary Mother Joseph's are very rare indeed today appropriately, a bronze statue of Mother Joseph in Sanctuary Hall at the United States Capital acknowledges her. Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart famously led members of her congregation to the Pacific Northwest to establish a network of schools, seven academies, five schools for Native American children, and two orphanages, not to mention eleven hospitals. While this heroin showcases the ideal of the Pacific Northwest, a vacuum exists today. Historically, Oregon was part of a territory with the second most church venues in the United States of America. In contrast, Seattle ranks today among America's most unchurched cities. New survey data from the ongoing Household Pulse Survey, a product of US Census Bureau, showed that a clear majority of adults in the Seattle area, in fact, around sixty four percent never attend Christian church services or do or less than one a year. The good news is that praying Christians are discerning the times and seasons. The wind of spirit is once again on the move even in Seattle, but arguably political obstacles must be overcome hugely. Back in twenty thirteen, Seattle Mayor Michael McGinn dubbed himself the most progressive mayor in the United States of America. Thereafter, Mayor ed Murray one up to him by boasting he would remake Seattle into the most progressive city in the United States. Admittedly, voters loved it. They ate it up. They said, give me more big government, give me the lash. For a time, they did. But argues Danny Westneat, that's all over. No longer does Seattle aim to be the most progressive city. Instead, he observes, voters want less idealism and more in the way of good results. Put another way, folks have asked and wondered, and then answered doctor Phil's signature question, how's progressive is working for you? Well, I'll answer that apparently not too well. Freedom from religion, redistribution of wealth under the United Nations principle of sustainability, science by consensus, Yeah, you know, gender identity, things like that, deflected accountability, guns kill people, don't, centralized power, sanctuary status, reverse discrimination, slippery cultural norms and ethics, earth servitude, over stewardship, tyranny of technocracy, defund police movements, etc. Etc. Et cetera. None of these components of progressivism deliver good results, or, as they like to call it, utopia. They just don't. What they utilize. What they bring about is hell on earth. Biblical Christianity alone holds the answer. For that reason, the unconstitutional Johnson Amendment attended intended to muzzle Christians and deny them their First Amendment right to free speech, must be resisted and completely overturned. And in fact, it can be automatically overturned because it's not a law, it cannot be enforced. We still have the First Amendment, We still have freedom of speech. We just have to be willing to exercise it. And when we are resisted in our freedom of speech. We have to continue to speak louder, push harder, don't back down. Because when idle silence meets wickedness, the Church misses her calling. She becomes useless, a waste of time, and God's favor is repelled. The mission of Dietrich Bonhoffer reminds us that silence in the face of evil is itself evil. As Jesus addressed government discussion of his day with a profound sense of clarity, so must we. We cannot be ignorant. Little Christians running around not knowing anything about government. Can't be stupid. The Lord is our judge, lawgiver, legislative lawgiver, and King Isaiah thirty three, twenty two. Cleary clearly states he is personified government, not to be mistaken for partisanship. Seattle's churches awakened to their call to prayer for civic duty. Now imagine government without Christian influence for many twenty first centuries. Seattle comes to mind when Christians, bypascific duty, the church suffers escalating persecution from without and spiritual deception from within. See when the world sees us act weak, they govern themselves ac quarterly and start picking on us because we appear weak. And if we allow that too long, it becomes a habit, and it then progresses to simply a way of life, something we must reject holleheartedly more often than not, moral relativism trump's biblical mandate, because once again it is allowed to given misplaced love of money and pleasure. I mean misplaced love of money and pleasure doesn't meaning we shouldn't be without, but that we should be without money and not enjoy life. Many are preocipher I'm sorry, my thoughts got a little mixed up there. Many are preoccupied with materialism, and youth are often seduced by scripturally forbidden yet culturally celebrated alternative lifestyles and oppositions of science, falsely so called i e. Gender dysphoria protocols, et cetera. Young girls are forced to forego modesty along with a fair chance at competing in women's sports, and we also like to look the other way when it comes to looking at the root of why young girls and women are forced to compete against men in sports. There's the old saying what goes around comes around. Remember when the feminists said that, hey, we can go in to the men's locker rooms. The female reporters wanted to go into the men's locker rooms back in the seventies. Hey, we can go into and join up in men's organizations. How dare men have organizations to themselves despite the fact that women's organizations were never challenged by straight men to want to get into their organizations because men are logical. They understand that, you know, men need to hang around men and women can have their organizations too. But increasingly Seattle's culture lacks natural affection. Even this demonstrated by the influx of human trafficking, open and legal prostitution, quick quick fix abortions. Yet is the leftists don't They always run around saying that, oh, we love so much, and they call those of us on the right is being mean spirited, that we don't care. All we care about is our guns. YadA, YadA, YadA. You know they're so boring. They're like one trick ponies, one lie after another. You know, they believe in no fault divorce, rampant pornography, sexualization, little children, substance abuse. And addiction. Yeah, a culture of death reigned supreme, and a con conjugition of contention. And you know, look at the contention in the Congress. How the left, who supports all that is evil and deprave, how they acted in front of the entire world when President Trump was giving us his speech, a very good one, by the way, their political posturing was nothing more than asenine behavior. Well, something that is not asenine is the return of the run average American experience faith. They addition right after this, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

In pursuit of life, liberty and our inalienable right the Ron Edward American Experience. Thank thank God, the giver of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This is the round everts American experience faith. They addition, thanks for joining in from throughout the world and America. You know, before the break I was talking about the breakdown of morality and just the destruction of what was one of America's one of the world's most beautiful cities, Seattle. But it would seem therefore that the Kingdom of Heaven contained good seed. But while men slept yep, the enemy sowed bad seed and corrupted just about every city in America, England, France, you name it. Gone on big time throughout the world. But God indicting fear, faithlessness, wrong motive, and passivity, David queried. Is there not a cause for Samuel seventeen through twenty nine? Indeed, there is now for American Christians today for Seattle Christians, informed principled voting, speaking out on God's behalf and most importantly, praying for those in authority or more than speaking out on God's behalf, and most importantly, praying for more than just privileges. They are mandates. When informed Christians pray, speak, stand, and vote in alignment with God's word and principles, the lot is cast into the lap, and its very decision is from the lawd Proverbs sixteen thirty three. Now surprising to some, government is a dominant theme in scripture. Believe it or not. Good government promotes literacy, advances just law, provides religious liberty, and allows church's freedom to preach. I'm not saying that the government of Russia is good, but I tell you what, the Christian Church has more liberty in Moscow than in Minnesota. Gives me pause to think, meaning that we still have a lot to clean up here in the United States and jolly old England. It is a conduit for human flourishing when you have good government, and most importantly, for furthering the Gospel well. God's kingdom is mentioned more than eighty times, Earthly kingdoms are mentioned thirty six times, and earthly kings one hundred eight times in scriptures. Despite the fact that modern Christians desperately many times want to ignore the importance of government, especially here in America and Exodus eighteen, Moses set up a network of judges called to function ethically and enforce the law our sovereign God provided legislatively on mont Zion, and in that story, in that configuration of time, I recognize that is the first time that it was officially recognized by God and man, Moses, Jethro, et cetera, about the importance of the individual, the individual rights of everyone, the right to choose, and we all should remember that God and government go hand in hand. Or should the church has called to civic duty, believe it or not, Church, you have a call to civic duty. And I called that the church to stop ignoring that civic duty. And I don't mean those pastors like the ones who are very socialist oriented. If you notice the socialist leftist pastors, they're very involved in civics. Unfortunately, it's the wrong flavor of civics. And that is why those who truly understand God's word understand the interpretation that the founding fathers of America and then people like William Wilberforce in England, Wesley and others who understood the importance of civic duty and good government. The church is called the civic duty reminds us of Pastor Peter Mulenberg, who donned the uniform of an officer in the Continental Army, among others. The black robed regiment three hundred like minded men in his congregation put legs to prayers and stood up to fight the American Revolution that birthed the Land of the Free and Home of the brave, and history was made. Now. Indeed, the coin Greek term for church, ecclesia, means summoned group, literally they who were called out. Historically, the ecclesia references once called out from the world system of Rome, to a sort of city council by which kingdom subjects were afforded keys to the kingdom to bind and to loose. To this day, believers are the ecclesia and kingdom reign Herald's kingdom power. Now that's explained Matthew sixteen, verse nineteen. Now scripture mandates that we as believers, seek justice, not run away from it, not go hide in the corner, and hope they don't come after us. But we are to seek justice and give justice to the weak and the fatherless, maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. That's posted in Isaiah seventeen, Psalm eighty two, verse three. Accordingly, throughout history, Christians have influenced government for good.

Throughout America's history, Christians have brought faith into the public square. Early on, Christian patriots boldly crossed the church state line to birth one nation under God. To this end, founder of the Black Rogue Regiment, Pastor Mullenberg, Peter Muhlenberg, that is, took to the battlefield and encouraged others to do likewise. Singing the Declaration of Independence, Witherspoon bowed in prayer, and Samuel Adams stated, we have this day restored the sovereign to whom alone men ought to be obedient.

Don't just pray, but act according to His providential principles. If you do that, you shall win. We shall win. I'm ron Edwards.
