The Ron Edwards American Experience-Faith Day

[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Pete Cunningham from Lancashire's Lighthouse Radio Ministries, and you're listening to The Ron Edwards American Experience. On with the show, this is it! And away we go!

[00:00:20] Say A, say M, say E, say R, say I, say C, say A.

[00:00:42] Ladies and gentlemen, it's The Ron Edwards American Experience Talk Show, where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now, your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards.

[00:01:23] Welcome and hello. I'm Ron Edwards, and you're listening to The Ron Edwards American Experience Talk Show. And yeah, this is Faith Day. Yes, we talk about the things relating to faith. Yep. And one of the things we don't have faith in, by the way, is a certain political party. A party known to be open borders prone and their pro-child mutilization and pro-destroying women's sports, men's rights.

[00:01:52] They've hit an all-time low in popularity. And the far-left Washington Post is all kinds of confused over this tumbling down of the Democrat Party. It's been quite evident for some time that the Democrat Party is not in a great place. It's somewhat normal for that to be the case for a party after a disappointing election. But the scale of Democrats' problems are beginning to come into focus. And it's both stark and sobering for the blue team.

[00:02:23] A Quinnipiac poll says that most of the left-wing pollsters on the planet has the pro-child mutilization party upside down by 26 points, 57% unfavorable to 31%. Meanwhile, the anti-child molestation party, the Republicans, are only upside down by two points, 45% unfavorable to 43% favorable.

[00:02:52] And I would say that the Republican Party would be more favorable if they were more conservative, if they weren't waffly on some issues, if they were not populated with the rhinos who like to compromise with Democrats who are still hell-bent on destroying this republic.

[00:03:10] A poll from CNN, the most leftist pollster not named other than Quinnipiac, shows that the pro-let-violent illegals take over apartment complexes party, known as Democrats, hitting a record low of 33% favorable. That's four points lower than any CNN poll since 2006.

[00:03:31] And if you expand the date set to earlier CNN, USA Today poll and Gallup polls, it's the party's worst since at least 1992. Finally, more Americans are waking up saying, you know what, the Democrat Party is awful. We've got to get away from it to save the nation.

[00:03:57] However, there's another link in this chain that we really need to strengthen in this country. And that is our reconnection with our creator, the one who actually gave us our unalienable rights, the one who inspired the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of America, the one whose Ten Commandments, if we simply followed those orders, you know, 90% of our problems would go away just like that.

[00:04:26] Really, it really would. Would not be a big problem. But unfortunately, you know, we're always running around talking about how the political parties need to be cleaned up. How this, that, and the other needs to be cleaned up. But you know what's just as dirty, just as filthy as the political parties? My Christian friends are not going to like hearing this. But it's the church. Now, is it all the church? No.

[00:04:55] But it is such a large portion of the church. That's why America fell morally and ethically, economically, all the way around. Because the church became corrupt. And I get to name names and talk about situations and events and all of that. Every name that I could name, you know. You've heard of them. Unless you've been under a rock, I guess. But, you know, you've heard of these folks.

[00:05:25] Many of them are really big time in their own minds. They're more concerned about collecting your money, just like the IRS and government. And I hate to say this, but the church gives back less to society than the government does. Oops. Now, think about it. The church, we the people, you know, collectively, I call us the church.

[00:05:54] We have the greatest instruction manual ever, ever developed, ever written. It's called the Bible. All the solutions to mankind's problems are right there. You read and rattle those pages, you learn a lot of stuff. Our country was founded on those principles. It was kind of a mixed bag.

[00:06:19] It was founded on Christian principles as well as, you know, some of the philosophical-based principles from people like William Blackstone and others. I know that. I know that. But the founding fathers credited the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob more than any other entity as far as the founding of this nation. And they warned us that that is whom we need to remain close to if America was to be great.

[00:06:49] And we're always talking about, or some of us are always talking about, making America great again. Well, it was said in the 1700s that in order for America to be good, I mean, I'm sorry, in order for her to be great, she must first be good. And there are those who don't want America to be great. About 30 to 31 percent of Americans do not want America to be great.

[00:07:16] They want her to be evil, destroyed, messed up. You heard some of them in the news broadcast at the top of the hour. The people that are in favor of DEI and CRT, they're against meritocracy, earning your way, being the best that you can be. Something that we are commanded to do. To do our jobs as if we're being looked at even when we're not.

[00:07:47] To learn, to use our brains that God gave us. Because there's about 30 percent of Americans who don't like that. They want everything destroyed. That's why that population was very happy with Uncle Joe Biden and wanted Kamala Harris. And so now we do have an opportunity in this country to keep that 30 percent in check. We really do. We have a golden opportunity.

[00:08:14] You know, President Trump talked about a golden age. And I heard a very smart individual ask the question. And they said it came from God. Do you want a golden age or a golden moment? A golden moment would be four years of good economic growth under President Trump. We'd have a relief from the open borders trauma that we've suffered over the past four years.

[00:08:43] And other things would turn around dramatically and we'd have four good years. But if we don't really clean house, we the people, it's really up to us. Beginning with ourselves, we will have just a moment.

[00:09:00] But if we are willing to do the work to clean up ourselves, to clean up our nation, scrubber from top to bottom, we will have a golden age of at least four generations of American greatness. Greatness that this great nation has never reached. I really believe that. I believe we have a great chance to become a greater nation. But it is up to us and what you want.

[00:09:32] I'm Ron Edwards and we'll be back with our guest today. Ah, it's a surprise. He's a great one. We'll talk about it when we come back on this, the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:12:49] Hey, we're back. I'm Ron Edwards and you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. Thanks so much for tuning in from not only throughout America but around the world. And our guest today is Mike Panitch. He's been in ministry for well over 25 years and he's been doing a great job. And one of his avenues of ministry is helping people know that they are loved and accepted. Let's welcome Mike. Hello, sir. And welcome back to the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:13:20] Hey, Ron. Good to be with you again. Ah, thank you so much. Well, we've come through this election process and we do have, in my opinion, a window of opportunity to really turn this nation around, to truly make her great again and make her healthy again.

[00:13:43] And one of the things that I said during my first monologue is that we've got to make sure that we, the people, are cleaning up our act in order for the country to be great again. What say you? Oh, yeah. I believe we've been given a great reprieve here, a window of opportunity to make this nation great once again. And it is, like you said, a lot of that responsibility lays upon our shoulders as Christian people.

[00:14:13] Because God said in his word, if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and repent, I will hear from heaven and heal their land. And we have a land that needs a lot of healing, brother.

[00:14:56] Yeah, yeah. We have a land that needs a lot of healing, brother. I, CRT and other programs that were not merit-based. Now, if you look at it from a spiritual standpoint, we have a responsibility to even make it into heaven. We just don't get into heaven just because we say we want to get in there.

[00:15:25] We have to do something. We have to accept Christ. We have to do the work. Well, the same thing is true on the secular side. You know, you've got to do the work if you want to become great in life, if you want to succeed in this life, if you want to be a good parent, if you want to be a good example to the generations coming behind you. If you want to be a good parent. If you want to help build a great nation, we have to put in the work, but you have to want to.

[00:15:53] And I think we've come to the conclusion with this grace period that we have to understand that we have to overcome with God's grace those who are out to destroy this country and the same people that are out to wipe God out of our society. What say you? Right.

[00:16:16] You know, these folks are being led by an evil spirit, the same evil spirit that was leading me about all those years before I became a Christian. And some of them unknowingly, but there are some, like you said, there's a percentage of people out here who just want to destroy this country. I don't get it. I don't understand it. And, you know, that's what we're up against.

[00:16:46] And we need to teach those who are just kind of going along and they're not necessarily given over to that evil in their own hearts, but they're willing to allow other people lead them down that path. And that's what we're seeing. And with all of this gender stuff and wokeism and all of this that's going on, you know, people have in their gut, they know that most of this stuff is not good. It's wrong.

[00:17:16] But they're afraid to speak out against it. And Trump is not afraid to speak out against it. I thank God that he's in office today. I voted for him the first time. I voted for him the second time. So I think he's a good man. I think he's there to do a particular job. He's not my savior. Jesus is my savior. But my savior knows how to pick some good people and put them in positions of power. Amen.

[00:17:43] Well, you know, they say that when the wicked reign, the people mourn. And when the righteous reign, the people rejoice and they make progress. And so they're free to move further in God and do much better things. And so I believe we've been given this opportunity. And the good news is from what I've heard and what I've read that Trump himself has accepted Christ.

[00:18:10] And I know as time goes on, he will be more impacted by Christ. And which is the goal of all of us who are followers of Christ. And as a result, I believe God will give him much favor, not only within this country, but around the world. And America will once again be that nation, that shining city on a hill nation of greatness.

[00:18:35] And the 30% of people in the country that prefer the evil, they're just going to be left behind and, I believe, contained. What say you? Yeah. Yeah, we will regain our respect again around the world. And he will keep us out of wars, I believe, by being strong once again. We don't have to go and fight on the battlefield once our enemies know that we mean business with them.

[00:19:04] And he's that kind of guy. So I believe that's going to be helpful going forward. You know, I like his choices so far that he's putting out there for these various departments and clean up the act. You know, people so that people can have confidence once again in these various departments. You know, people have lost a lot of confidence because of some of the shenanigans that have gone on.

[00:19:32] And I think even the liberals, the Democrats, I should say, not the liberals, because a lot of times the liberals are just blinded to it. But a lot of good Democrat people are starting to see this. And that's why we have people like Tulsi and Kennedy and different ones that are coming over to our side. Not because they necessarily agree with everything that we say, but they see the wrong that's being promoted within their own party.

[00:20:01] And like Reagan said, I didn't leave the Democrat Party. They left me. And these people are finding this out. So I think it's an awakening, a great time of an awakening today. Yeah. And you're so right about that, because, you know, there's a difference. There are liberals, but then there are leftists.

[00:20:24] And to me, even though liberals often vote for leftists, in many cases, liberals are deceived. And it's the liberals who are waking up and saying, wait a minute, I don't want the country destroyed.

[00:20:39] But you have these hardcore leftists who are about 30 percent of the population who are all for anything that is destructive, whether it's to the children, the trafficked children, people like Mayorkas, the guy who lied and says, we don't know where any of the children are. But yet in no time, Trump's people find up to 80,000 of the children and they're finding more of them.

[00:21:05] So it comes down to what you want in this world, according to God's principles. And I just believe that this time around, you're going to see some amazing things happening, even in our cities, which are now filled with illegal border crosses throughout the country. And we've got to come against these liberal churches, though.

[00:21:29] And that's why I say in some cases, the church is no better than the government who are helping out with the illegals. And what do you say about that? Yeah. Preachers need to get a backbone and get back to preaching the gospel. And the gospel involves loving people and doing right. And these people are following that, which is not right. And I mean, it's a natural thing.

[00:21:58] You know, I have a six year old. Well, he's a little bit older now. But last year in the when the ball was coming down for the New Year's celebration, my son left, let his family stay up to watch this. And the big celebration was going on. And then they showed two men kissing on the television. And my six year old grandson looked at that and he went, oh, that's gross.

[00:22:29] And, you know, it's in us, Ron, from the time that we're small to know that these things are not natural. And yet they're promoting it left and right. So I say that the old enemy is behind that and distorting the thinking of people. Absolutely. And we're going to hold it right there if you have time for another segment, Pastor Mike Panitch. We'll be right back on this, the Ron Edwards American Experience Faith Day edition.

[00:23:59] We'll be right back. Ron Edwards. On today's page from the Edwards Notebook, Jedediah studied for the ministry at Yale and in 1789 accepted a call to the First Church of Charleston, Massachusetts. He was alarmed by how far the clergy had moved from doctrinal orthodoxy. In 1799, Jedediah Moore stated, Our dangers are of two kinds, those which affect our religion and those which affect our government. They are, however, so closely allied that they cannot with propriety be separated.

[00:24:28] To the kindly influence of Christianity, we owe the degree of civic freedoms and political and social happiness mankind now enjoys. In proportion, as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in any nation, in the same proportion will the people of that nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom. It follows that all efforts made to destroy the foundation of our holy religion ultimately tend to the subversion also of our political freedom and happiness.

[00:24:56] Wherever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican form of government and all the blessings which flow from them must fall with them. May we the people remember that without God, the United States shall simply be gone under. On the call, on the wall.

[00:25:23] In the heart of struggle, in the face of adversity and betrayal, a thread of hope and faith created tapestry of triumph. I'm Denise Edwards, and I'm inviting you to take a look into the window of my life. God promises in His Word that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

[00:26:48] Ron Edwards, the new voice of America.

[00:27:34] Yes, indeed. I'm Ron Edwards. Yes, doing my part to help make America great again. And you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience, Faith Day Edition. Thanks so much to our guest for joining us today, Pastor Mike Panitch. And Mike, why don't you tell folks about your involvement in the ministry today and how things are going? Yes.

[00:27:56] My wife and I are celebrating 52 years coming up pretty close in August of ministry and marriage together. Congratulations. So we've been down a long winding road over those years. Pastored one church for 37 years. And we have just... We sold our building in the last two years.

[00:28:22] And we've now just become a parachurch type of a ministry, going to other places wherever the Lord opens doors for us to speak and to help other people out. And to plant seed into those ministries. And so that's what we're doing right now. And doing a lot of things with veterans. I belong to two different veteran groups.

[00:28:47] I speak once a month at one group where there are Christians that gather. And then I'm a part of VFW and VVA, Vietnam Veterans of America, where I share the gospel with a lot of fellow veterans. And so that's what we're doing nowadays.

[00:29:12] And so wherever the Lord opens the door for us, we're willing to go and be used by Him. You know, people say, how do you like being retired? Because they think because we sold the building, we retired. And we say, we haven't been retired. We're refired. We just got a new assignment. And so that's one word that we've never used in our home, just like the word divorce. We've never used that word. And we don't use the word retire.

[00:29:41] We're going to keep on going for the Lord until we take our last breath. So, yeah. Wow. See, that's how you keep a strong nation, a strong family, and a strong connection with our Creator. And I commend you guys for, wow, 52 years. Man, that is amazing. You know, I'm looking around not only our country, but around the world.

[00:30:07] And one thing that really irritates me to no end is how these governments around the world, whether it's Germany, France, Great Britain, you know, it really bothers me to see how they allow the carriers of a certain false religion come into their nations.

[00:30:32] And we have it here in the United States, in Dearborn, Michigan, Hamtramckstan now, and, you know, where they take over. And we just back off and allow this to happen. There are no go zones, not only in this country, but especially in Great Britain and elsewhere. Now, Italy has awakened from their stupor, and they're cleaning out the madness. Hungary has said, you know, we're not going to deal with this.

[00:31:02] Slovenia has awakened. But many nations around the world, they seem to cower. And even parts of America seems to cower when these people show up. They can block streets. And it just goes on and on. And many ministers, believe it or not, allow them to come into their pulpits. I've seen videos all the time of Minister Farrakhan going into Baptist churches. And I just, that has always been offensive to me. What say you?

[00:31:33] Oh, yeah. Yeah, I have a friend that I gulf with in the inner city. And, you know, a couple of years ago, he had Farrakhan coming to his church to speak to his youth, to a youth gathering. I said, you know what? You know, you're going to let this guy come and speak in your church? And I just really, I couldn't even understand why in the world he would do that. But, yeah, we're trying to be tolerant of everybody.

[00:32:04] Christianity is an exclusive and inclusive religion, if you want to use the word religion. At the same time, all are included. Christ died for all of mankind. And all are welcome to come into the kingdom and to be saved from their sins. But it's an exclusive kingdom as well, because if you don't come through the door, you don't get in.

[00:32:32] And he said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me. So he didn't say, I'm one of several different ways to get to God. He let us know that he was the one and only way to heaven. And that is it. So people want to just say, well, all religions are good. No, no, that's not true. So, yeah. Yeah.

[00:33:00] And to be honest with you, the Christian way is not a religion. It's a way of life. Way of life, yeah. You could boil the word religion down and really look at it and just call it a habit. And so as far as I understand the word, God actually technically hates religion. But a lot of people don't understand that. And they use that term a lot. Very loosely, yeah.

[00:33:29] Yeah, yeah. But, you know, one thing that I have to say, that when it comes to people like Farrakhan and even Malcolm X, I have had the, I won't say displeasure, but I've looked at some of their messages. And one thing I hate to say is that in many cases. And I'm comparing them to many ministers of today.

[00:33:55] They are much better at reaching especially men because they understand manhood and they understand that man has an important place in society. Whereas in much of Christianity, not all of it, but in much of Christianity, it is bowed down. I'll say to the golden donkey.

[00:34:20] And it's taken on this guise of feminazism. Whereas the men are treated like, well, for instance, if you have a bad marriage, automatically it's the man who is blamed. If there are problems, it can only be the man's fault. And I've seen this preached in church after church after church. And I understand there's a couple of reasons why this happens.

[00:34:49] One of them is because of this has been going on. A lot of guys don't go to church anymore. But they'll go to the temple, to the mosque, and they're treated like a man if they walk in there. That's what happened with Muhammad Ali. He used to ask his mother, Mom, why is this? Why is that? Why are we treated like second-class citizens? Why do we have to sit upstairs in this church that you take us to?

[00:35:15] And she didn't have any logical answers other than, well, that's just the way. Well, when he learned that he was a man from Islam, the rest is history. Hopefully he learned the truth before he died. But this is just one avenue of the mistakes that I believe that Christianity makes. What say you? Or people in Christianity make. What say you? Yes.

[00:35:42] Well, I think a lot of people make Jesus out to be a sissy himself. But he was a man's man, for sure, because he spoke the truth in love. And he let the chips fall where they may. And like you said a minute ago about religion, it was the religionists that he came against. And he spoke the truth to them. And so I believe that, yeah, manhood is being played down. If you are successful, that's being played down.

[00:36:08] You know, meritocracy, as the word is coming around a little bit more nowadays, is a good thing. You work hard. You work diligently. You save. You earn. You sacrifice. And you get ahead. You don't ride the coattails of somebody else to get you where you want to go. So, yeah, it starts with the man in the home, for sure, and to build strong families.

[00:36:34] And so our commitment should be to God first, to our wives and our spouse second, and our family, and then to our country. And people need to relearn those three things in their lives. Absolutely. Absolutely, sir. And when it comes to economics, one of the things that – I used to see this in some churches.

[00:37:05] And then you see it in learning about different churches and different customs here and there. It is not holy. It is not virtuous to be poor. But yet I have seen this. I'm telling you, maybe you never saw it. Thank God. But it has been taught in some churches that – in fact, there was one minister, Denise and I were both in attendance, and he says, just concentrate on being a small potato.

[00:37:36] I almost got up and walked out. I almost jumped up like a jumping bean and flew out of there. But, you know, Denise is more patient than I am, and she's just – you know, so we sat it out. But, you know, what kind of – I don't know if you've ever witnessed anything close to that or anything like that. But if you have, speak on that, please. Yes, yes. There's that mentality that goes to that extreme.

[00:38:02] Then there's the other far extreme that God wants everybody to be millionaires. And somewhere in the middle of all of that is the truth. And I do believe that God wants us to be prosperous and to be wise and to be frugal. And so, you know, people use the word prosperity, all these prosperity preachers. I believe in prosperity. I believe the Bible teaches us prosperity.

[00:38:29] If you do right, if you follow the right principles in life, you will do well and you will prosper. And so I'm not timid about that phrase. I don't like to be lumped in with somebody who's over to the extreme in that area either. But I believe that God wants me to prosper and to be in good health.

[00:38:51] And, you know, so I believe that that takes a mind thinking on those things and to follow that path. So, yeah, I don't think we're just rocks or just blobs here on the earth. Without Christ, I know that I am nothing spiritually, but he has created me and he has recreated my spirit. So I'm born again by the grace of God.

[00:39:20] And so I follow his principles now as much as I can and as closely as I can. And it causes my life to prosper. Amen. Well, sir, we're at the end of our time together. But if you could, we've got about a minute or so. If you could, as is tradition on this show, leave us with a word of prayer as God leads you. Yes, be happy to. Heavenly Father, we love you today and we thank you for your goodness in our lives.

[00:39:49] We thank you for salvation through Jesus Christ and his blood shed on the cross for us. Lord, we're not fearful to speak that way. We don't think that it's gory. We know that it is a sacrifice of the Son of God for mankind. And we thank you, Lord, for that today. We pray for our nation, Lord, for our leaders. We pray especially for our president, God, that you will continue to lead him down the path that will bring us to a good place in this nation to reset it, Lord.

[00:40:19] I pray for my brother Ron and Denise and their family. I pray for this ministry to continue to prosper and grow as people hear the good word that he's putting forward. Lord, we love you today and we just thank you for this in Jesus' wonderful name. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much for joining us today. And we'll be calling you again. And tell Mary we said hello and Godspeed to both of you. All right. God bless you, brother Ron. And 50 more years. Take care.

[00:43:43] Listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. Man, it doesn't get any better than that. How can some people exist before and pretend that he just doesn't see?

[00:44:15] The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind. And the answer is also right here on the Ron Edwards American Experience Faith Day edition. I'm Ron Edwards and thanks so much for being with me today. Well, you know, believe it or not, if you enjoy liberty, those of us here in the United States,

[00:44:41] we desire true liberty as under one nation, under God. And did you know, though, that you are now considered a potential terrorist because of your political and or Christian oriented beliefs? Believe it or not, there are 72 specifically mentioned categories of Americans that are now considered extremist or potential terrorist and are identified as such in official government documents.

[00:45:10] Broadly speaking, if you are a libertarian, a Christian or a gun owner, if you are opposed to abortion, opposed to globalism, opposed to communism, opposed to illegal border crossing, opposed to the United Nations, opposed to the WHO, the World Health Organization, opposed to the New World Order, opposed to the World Economic Forum,

[00:45:38] you are somehow a newfangled enemy and the federal government will look to bury its fangs in you. Remember back during the Ali Obama administration, which was so inclined to coddle Muslims and promote evil, removed the label terrorist from the Islamic jihadist and placed the label around your neck as your very own political albatross?

[00:46:02] The first step in persecuting and eliminating any group of people is to demonize them. Today, large groups of peaceful law-abiding citizens have been relentlessly demonized. And we do thank goodness that things are beginning to change. As it was said during the Reagan era, it's a new dawn or a new day in America.

[00:46:28] Thank God that the J6 prisoners are, you know, have been released, most of them, although there are still some J6ers still locked up in American gulags because of their belief, not because of terrible things that they did. Because if it was about locking people up that did terrible things, the people that burned up Minneapolis, that raped men in front of their families in Portland,

[00:46:54] that burned neighborhoods in other cities around the country, when George Floyd died, those people would have been thrown into prison if it was all about throwing people who did terrible things in prison. And by the way, the people that did not get locked up did much worse things than anyone of the J6ers on that fateful day.

[00:47:18] So our prayers do continue to go out for the remaining J6ers who are in jail for politically oriented reasons. And any who talk about individual or constitutional liberties and states' rights, all who are concerned about illegal immigration and the Great Replacement. Those involved in the patriot movement and or who attempt to live off the grid.

[00:47:48] Those opposed to Agenda 2030 and on and on and on. And the same thing to a much higher degree is happening in Great Britain. And as I mentioned recently, if I were to stand in front of an abortion clinic and they thought I was praying, I mean just thinking a prayer, I would be locked up.

[00:48:11] But yet, if I decided to get a miniature rug, throw it in the middle of Piccadilly Circus and bump my head on the cement five times a day and block traffic, I'd be protected by the Bobbies known as police officers. So within the government documents that relate to the supposed enemies of the states,

[00:48:36] those of us who want liberty in Christ, who want liberty in our nation, members of the military and police are specifically warned not to have anything to do with us castigated groups who want liberty. That's why you see increasing numbers in cities like Chicago, Boston, even Pittsburgh recently.

[00:48:59] People have been wondering, oh my gosh, why is crime arising so rapidly in Pittsburgh all of a sudden? Well, it's because most people didn't catch this. Oh, it was about a year ago that the city council of Pittsburgh ruled that they could no longer go hard after criminals. And then all of a sudden, you have a lot of a spate of criminal activity in neighborhoods in Pittsburgh

[00:49:27] that were once, not long ago, almost crime-free. Businesses are starting to close up and move out. Pittsburgh is a beautiful city too. What a waste. But as we reestablish the high moral order, as we reestablish faith in our creator, as we reestablish his principles throughout the land.

[00:49:51] In fact, there's another state in our great nation that is seeking to make it so that the Ten Commandments are not only hung or displayed but taught in government schools. I believe it's Kentucky. And so we cannot give up. In our country, the state of Louisiana is in a battle over that endeavor.

[00:50:18] And we cannot be worried about those who want to oppose us for simply wanting to spread the good news, spread the good principles, etc., so that our country can continue to be blessed. We cannot worry about those who oppose us. They have to be worried about us opposing them. And so that is... See, we have to flip that coin. We have to discard any fear.

[00:50:47] Because if you're standing on what is right, okay, and you fight hard, nine times out of ten, you're going to win anyway. If you know you're telling the truth, you have history to back you up. You stand on it, you fight on it, and you keep it moving. That's what the civil rights movement or the bastardized rights movement believed. They were standing on truth. And they didn't back down at all.

[00:51:16] So if people that were fighting for bastardized rights could boldly go as far as they did, those of us who stand on inalienable rights would come from God. And everything else that comes from that, we have no business in backing down. The wind is at our backs now. We must take advantage of this opportunity.

[00:51:44] And now that I see that my time is up, thank you so much for joining me on this edition of the Ron Edwards American Experience Faith Day Edition. Godspeed to you. That's all, folks. To exit stage right. And as I always say at this time, remember to pray for your nation. Pray for your family. Pray for your friends. And even pray for your enemies that they get it right before it's too late.

[00:52:14] And do not forget to treat others the same way you would want to be treated. Every single day. I'm Ron Edwards. Until next time. Bye now. I can show you how. I can show you how. To change your direction. Change your direction. To make a new connection to everyone.
