[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Pete Cunningham from Lancashire's Lighthouse Radio Ministries, and you're listening to The Ron Edwards American Experience.
[00:00:08] On with the show, this is it!
[00:00:12] And away we go!
[00:00:21] Say A, say M, say E, say R, say I, say C, say A.
[00:00:43] Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Ron Edwards American Experience Talk Show, where our unalienable rights are celebrated.
[00:00:51] And now, your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards.
[00:00:56] How are you? I'm Ron Edwards, and welcome to this edition of the Ron Edwards American Experience Talk Show, and this is Faith Day.
[00:01:33] And we've got a great guest today, Pastor Carl Noble. He's going to be joining us after the first break.
[00:01:38] But, yeah, it's big in the news. Yep, the Republicans could not get her done.
[00:01:45] There's too many Republicans, I think, that are just noodle heads, noodle brains.
[00:01:49] In a last-dish effort to prevent a government shutdown, House Speaker Mike Johnson, the number one noodle brain,
[00:01:56] and Republican leaders are now advancing a new strategy involving three separate bills.
[00:02:02] Now, this comes after previous Schumer, Johnson, and Trump-endorsed proposals failed to secure sufficient support.
[00:02:11] Now, the proposed plan divides the spending packages into three distinct components.
[00:02:18] Now, there's the short-term federal funding, a measure to extend funding for federal agencies for three months,
[00:02:25] maintaining government operations until March 14th.
[00:02:28] Then you've got disaster relief, allocating over $100 billion to support disaster-stricken areas,
[00:02:35] like in North Carolina, Palestine, Ohio, and others, addressing immediate needs arising from recent calamities.
[00:02:43] Farm aid, provision of about $10 billion in assistance to American farmers,
[00:02:49] ensuring stability in the agricultural sector amid ongoing economic challenges caused by the Uncle Joe Biden administration,
[00:02:57] for the most part.
[00:02:59] Now, Republicans are now strategizing and trying to figure out, oh my gosh, what can we do?
[00:03:05] What can we do?
[00:03:07] And they're trying to figure out how to force lawmakers to pass a spending bill,
[00:03:13] which is the continuing resolution before tonight's deadline.
[00:03:16] You know what?
[00:03:17] I just have to say it.
[00:03:19] I say allow the government to shut down.
[00:03:22] Shut the whole darn thing down.
[00:03:24] First of all, you know, and I just pray that the gullible gullivers aren't in great numbers anymore amongst the American people,
[00:03:34] because if the government shuts down because of this situation, guess what?
[00:03:38] Everyone will still receive their Social Security payments.
[00:03:42] The military will still be working.
[00:03:44] You know, all the essentials, okay, will still be going on.
[00:03:49] So when you hear Hakeem Jeffries pointing his finger at Republicans and say, well, they're the reason why everything is shut down,
[00:03:57] and because of this, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:04:00] And you're going to have a hard time now, Americans.
[00:04:02] Now, there is a little caveat in even in what I want presented tonight that they shut it down.
[00:04:11] What could happen is that Uncle Joe and a few other evil people could decide, well, let's shut down TSA
[00:04:20] so that the Christmas travelers will have a hard time getting through the airport,
[00:04:24] and, you know, and they won't be able to travel because they can't go through TSA, which is stupid anyway.
[00:04:30] If you're an illegal border crosser, you'll be shuffled right ahead of everyone and don't even have to go through TSA.
[00:04:36] Anyway, isn't that amazing?
[00:04:38] But if you're an American, never committed a crime, whole nine yards, they know you're safe.
[00:04:44] They track everything we do.
[00:04:47] And, but yet, you know, you'll still have to take your shoes off and go through all that malarkey anyway.
[00:04:53] But here's the thing.
[00:04:54] We have to become more patient as Americans.
[00:04:57] And what I mean by that, patiently look into the details of what's going on.
[00:05:05] So that when you get these dukes of knee-jerk people in the Democrat side and amongst the rhinos,
[00:05:13] who will start blaming the conservatives for catastrophes that could happen because of the government shutdown.
[00:05:22] If there are any catastrophes that occur because of a government shutdown, it won't be because of a normal government shutdown.
[00:05:28] It will be because of extracurricular activities taken by the Biden regime and others to make things more inconvenient,
[00:05:37] to irritate Americans who would then, and hopefully, you know, from the mindset of rhinos and the Democrats,
[00:05:44] would turn against the conservatives who want to actually do the right thing as far as the spending bills.
[00:05:52] And so this is something that, amongst many other things, that we have to continue to pray about concerning our republic.
[00:05:59] And that is wisdom.
[00:06:02] We've got to really pray for wisdom to infiltrate the brains, rather, of those in office.
[00:06:11] Now, and we have to stop the lying.
[00:06:14] Government officials, so many of them are lying.
[00:06:17] I watched Hakeem Jeffries this morning.
[00:06:19] Got a stomachache after hearing that guy.
[00:06:22] Just spewing one lie after another.
[00:06:25] But the bigger liar, believe it or not, the biggest liar is not Hakeem Jeffries.
[00:06:29] The biggest liar is Mr. Bible-thumper Mike Johnson.
[00:06:35] Oh, yeah, he's the one who runs around talking about him being a man of God and this, that, and the other,
[00:06:41] and how he believes in the scriptures.
[00:06:44] Well, when in the heck did the scriptures instruct anyone to lie to the American people,
[00:06:51] tell them that you're doing everything on the up and up?
[00:06:53] You went on a media tour, sir, and said that you had it all wrapped up.
[00:06:57] It was going to be a very small bill so that it would just be a crossover bill to get us past January 20th
[00:07:07] so that Trump could hit the ground running.
[00:07:10] No, you didn't do that, sir.
[00:07:12] What you did, you little liar, you went behind closed doors with Chucky Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries
[00:07:23] and bent over and gave them what they wanted.
[00:07:27] Said, oh, how can I please you?
[00:07:28] Let me just bend over.
[00:07:29] Oh, what do you want?
[00:07:31] Okay?
[00:07:32] Well, you lied to the American people and kept conservative Republicans out of the negotiations.
[00:07:41] And then you have these dweebs, these individuals.
[00:07:44] Trey Gowdy, you know, they dust that little, you know, bag of wind off,
[00:07:48] and he's out there barking against the conservatives who actually,
[00:07:53] see, we cannot afford these wasteful spending bills any longer.
[00:07:57] We have reached that limit.
[00:08:01] And by the way, if the original bill that they wanted to pass gets,
[00:08:06] if that's what we end up with, in just a few years, in 400 days,
[00:08:12] well, now it's 398 days, we will have a $40 trillion debt.
[00:08:22] And how do you like that for size?
[00:08:25] It won't be pretty, folks.
[00:08:27] It will not be pretty.
[00:08:29] And what they're trying to do, Mikey Johnson, the fake conservative,
[00:08:33] and the others are trying to do is make things so congested with problems,
[00:08:39] both economic and otherwise, that Trump, with all the great efforts,
[00:08:45] with all the great ideas, Trump and company won't be able to turn things around.
[00:08:50] This is what they want.
[00:08:52] Because they want you and I, the American people, to suffer.
[00:08:58] That is why people like Governor Wychmer of Michigan works with the Chinese
[00:09:02] and the World Economic Forum.
[00:09:06] Totting Michigan is a great place to do business.
[00:09:08] But they bring in these foreign businesses, particularly Chinese, not to produce American jobs.
[00:09:14] Oh, no.
[00:09:15] No, no, no, no.
[00:09:16] It's all about helping the Chinese and making things more difficult for the American people,
[00:09:21] putting America, the United States, in a more vulnerable position to our enemies.
[00:09:27] Because for some ungodly reason, though, Governor Wychmer was born in this country just like you and I,
[00:09:36] she and others like her hate this country.
[00:09:38] And they prefer us to be smashed under the weight of China.
[00:09:48] Or, or the other thing they prefer is for us to be maybe a nuked by the Russian bear, which they have continued to provoke.
[00:10:00] And you wonder why, I've said for many years, our biggest enemy is not outside of this country.
[00:10:07] The biggest enemies we have are our domestic grown enemies.
[00:10:11] And how does that come about?
[00:10:13] I have some ideas.
[00:10:15] I'm going to ask our guest about that, too.
[00:10:18] See, there's a biblical root to a lot of this.
[00:10:23] When I say biblical root, there's a biblical answer to all of this.
[00:10:27] And we'll be discussing this and other topics with our guest, Carl Noble,
[00:10:33] when we return on this Faith Day edition of the Ron Edwards American Experience.
[00:10:37] A wise man will hear and will increase learning,
[00:10:40] and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels.

[00:13:54] Ron Edwards, the new voice of America.
[00:14:01] This is Pastor Carl Noble.
[00:14:03] Have a very blessed Christmas.
[00:14:06] Always remembering that the greatest gift ever given to us was our Lord who died and rose again
[00:14:11] so that we might have life both now and forever.
[00:14:19] And we're back.
[00:14:20] This is the Ron Edwards American Experience.
[00:14:22] Thanks so much for tuning in from not only throughout America but around the world.
[00:14:26] And, you know, before the break I was expounding a bit about my disdain for those in government
[00:14:37] who continue to seek to ruin our nation by bringing harm to either people,
[00:14:44] whether it's economic, whether it's political, or whether it's otherwise.
[00:14:48] And let's bring in our guest, Pastor Carl Noble.
[00:14:52] Hello, Pastor Noble, and welcome back.
[00:14:55] And a good afternoon to you, my friend.
[00:14:57] How are you?
[00:14:58] Excellent, sir.
[00:14:59] You know, one of the things that really, really bothers me is that there are those now,
[00:15:08] you know, there was a time when the American politicians were encouraged to be men of God,
[00:15:18] to not be a Bible thumper like Mike Johnson, who thumps the Bible and, you know,
[00:15:25] and gives you this spiel about the scriptures and things of that nature,
[00:15:29] but doing everything in his miserable way to ruin this country,
[00:15:36] to join with enemies, with domestic enemies to ruin this country,
[00:15:39] but to be actually sincere in carrying out the principles,
[00:15:47] well, carrying out the duties of government according to the principles enumerated,
[00:15:51] not only in our Constitution and Bill of Rights,
[00:15:56] but that are enumerated in the Bible.
[00:15:58] And by the way, the Ten Commandments were based upon the Bible.
[00:16:01] You could match the Ten Commandments with the first Ten Amendments of our Constitution,
[00:16:06] and you'd see what I mean, and we might get into that a little bit.
[00:16:09] But I think it's very telling on the condition of our nation.
[00:16:15] Though we've had the great election of Trump, it was a mandate,
[00:16:18] but now the opposition is really trying to gain a beachhead.
[00:16:23] And, you know, there are those who, and I'm in agreement with them,
[00:16:26] who say that these things that are happening are part of the judgment of God.
[00:16:31] We've allowed so much bull capitalists for the hit in our country
[00:16:35] that we are still being taught a lesson in how we have to go all the way for what is right.
[00:16:42] If not, the other side will continue to make these beachheads
[00:16:46] and continue to mess up, you know, the way
[00:16:51] and make it very difficult to turn this country around, let's say you.
[00:16:55] Wow, that's a lot there.
[00:16:57] Well, first of all, I totally agree with you.
[00:16:59] I think that we are under judgment, and I think that the Scripture is very clear
[00:17:07] that the people must return to the Lord to be blessed by him again.
[00:17:12] But yet I would also look at even the founding fathers as religious as they were.
[00:17:19] Washington had illegitimate children with slaves,
[00:17:22] and Franklin had an illegitimate child.
[00:17:25] Thomas Jefferson was not a Christian, and he let people know.
[00:17:31] I think that, you know, we are supposed to live according to the dictates of Scripture.
[00:17:40] But what happens is once somebody gets some power,
[00:17:43] all of a sudden they become just like the heathen.
[00:17:49] And I would say that also, by the way,
[00:17:51] even in regard to leadership within the church,
[00:17:54] you get these guys, these idiots on TV,
[00:17:57] you give them some power, and boy, I tell you,
[00:17:59] they are Satan's spawn.
[00:18:02] And even in the denominations, you know, people with a little power,
[00:18:08] boy, I tell you, they just kind of tell everybody what to do,
[00:18:11] and they forget the Scriptures.
[00:18:15] And I think that it very possibly may have gotten to a point in this country
[00:18:22] where it's irretrievable.
[00:18:25] I was reading something just the other day
[00:18:27] that Germany is basically non-Christian at all anymore.
[00:18:35] And we see that with Europe.
[00:18:37] And America is only, what, five, ten years behind Europe in many things.
[00:18:41] And I really see it.
[00:18:45] And I think that somebody, and that is unfortunately,
[00:18:48] I think the American people,
[00:18:50] will be the pursuance of judgment from God
[00:18:54] for roughly the 75 million unborn children
[00:18:58] that have been slaughtered in this country.
[00:19:00] You can't do that without expecting God to do something about it.
[00:19:07] And, you know, I agree with you,
[00:19:09] but when people do seek his forgiveness,
[00:19:12] there's, you know, several times in the Bible where he does forgive them,
[00:19:17] and they go on to greater things.
[00:19:20] King David, you mentioned the illegitimate children
[00:19:22] of some of the founding fathers.
[00:19:25] And it's funny you mention them,
[00:19:27] because, you know, as he grew older,
[00:19:30] George Washington became a better person
[00:19:31] and even renounced his masonry connections
[00:19:36] and things of that nature.
[00:19:39] And when you look, juxtapose that with, let's say, a King David,
[00:19:43] who had done some horrible things,
[00:19:47] but yet he was able to be,
[00:19:49] and to this very day was the greatest king or leader
[00:19:52] that the Jewish people have ever had in their entire history.
[00:19:56] So once, you know, you do something wrong,
[00:20:00] you get forgiveness for it, you know,
[00:20:02] you can go on to higher heights and greater things.
[00:20:06] And America is not the only nation that is guilty
[00:20:09] of many, many, many millions of abortion deaths.
[00:20:13] In fact, proportionally, many other nations even have greater numbers.
[00:20:17] And I do hope, well, I do know that many millions of Americans
[00:20:21] did reach out before the election,
[00:20:24] did seek forgiveness for that very sin.
[00:20:28] And in fact, it was broadcast nationally.
[00:20:31] They were in the nation's capital.
[00:20:32] And they were connected by, I think it was 300,000 there.
[00:20:37] And there were many millions in the United States
[00:20:40] and around the world who were seeking forgiveness,
[00:20:45] not only for that, but for rampant feminism,
[00:20:47] socialism, the whole nine yards.
[00:20:50] And so that has been done.
[00:20:52] But what we need to do is have the nerve,
[00:20:56] the cojones to weed out the trash.
[00:21:00] The American people have to be more willing to be,
[00:21:07] I don't know.
[00:21:08] We've got to become more united around what we know is right
[00:21:14] and have the cojones.
[00:21:16] You know, it's wonderful you have a Donald Trump
[00:21:18] and you have an individual here, there,
[00:21:21] who stands up tall and takes all the bullets, literally,
[00:21:26] and does the right thing, or at least fights for the right thing.
[00:21:30] But we have to join the fight.
[00:21:33] And what's most disgraceful, in my opinion,
[00:21:37] it is not the politicians who are the worst ones of all in this country.
[00:21:42] And though they are horrible on my list,
[00:21:46] there are very few of them that I actually like.
[00:21:49] But I think of the worst bunch are the crooked preachers,
[00:21:53] not only in this country, but around the world.
[00:21:58] They are the reason for this horrible situation we find ourselves in.
[00:22:04] And I would also attach with them the teachers of America,
[00:22:09] who have generation after generation have lied or misled
[00:22:13] or partially told the truth,
[00:22:16] which has produced the conditions that we have today.
[00:22:19] I mean, they went along with the Karl Marx strategy
[00:22:22] to gradually wean the population away from what is right.
[00:22:26] And today you have a Joel Osteen, a BS artist.
[00:22:31] You have others.
[00:22:34] What is his name?
[00:22:35] Oh, yeah, Power Bottom.
[00:22:37] T.D. Jakes.
[00:22:38] And if you don't know why he's called Power Bottom, look into it.
[00:22:42] Pastor Noble, I think you'll be...
[00:22:47] You'll just...
[00:22:48] You'll scratch your head and wonder how could he.
[00:22:50] But anyway, and the list goes on and on.
[00:22:55] That's where the real crux of the matter is,
[00:22:57] because I think God really hates the hypocrites.
[00:23:00] He can deal better with a man that is cold, totally wrong.
[00:23:06] And he's earnest about his wrong.
[00:23:09] Because it is easier to bring someone around of that nature
[00:23:14] than someone who's in the middle,
[00:23:15] who's fooling the people,
[00:23:17] who knows the word,
[00:23:18] but he's misteaching it in a watered-down fashion.
[00:23:22] The same way people mislead students in government schools.
[00:23:26] When they misteach about the Constitution
[00:23:30] or about sex or whatever.
[00:23:36] Now they don't want you to just say man or woman or boy and girl.
[00:23:42] They want you to spell woman with a Y instead of an E.
[00:23:47] I mean, instead of an A.
[00:23:49] Or women with a Y instead of an E.
[00:23:54] So when you have these kinds of mix-up
[00:23:57] going to millions and millions of people,
[00:23:59] of students and parishioners,
[00:24:03] you've got liberal teachers.
[00:24:04] I mean, preachers spewing the same kind of stuff
[00:24:10] in their churches.
[00:24:12] Oh yeah, go to Riverside Church in New York City.
[00:24:14] Go there any Sunday.
[00:24:17] Beautiful facility.
[00:24:18] One of the most beautiful churches I ever walked in in my life.
[00:24:21] But boy, their teachings are just as bad,
[00:24:24] if not worse, than the average professor
[00:24:26] at Harvard or Columbia.
[00:24:29] Pastor Noble, hold it right there.
[00:24:31] Folks, you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience
[00:24:34] Faith Day Edition.
[00:24:34] We'll be right back after this.
[00:24:45] Ron Edwards, the new voice of America.
[00:24:59] Hello to the good men of America
[00:25:17] who are putting forth a good faith effort
[00:25:19] to do your best.
[00:25:21] I'm Ron Edwards.
[00:25:22] On today's page from the Edwards Notebook,
[00:25:24] what's up my fellow good men of America?
[00:25:26] If nobody told you lately,
[00:25:27] let me be the one to say it.
[00:25:29] You sirs are the good men
[00:25:31] in a world that's quick to broadcast your faults,
[00:25:34] but slow to recognize your good traits and worth.
[00:25:38] I know it's not often you hear those positive words
[00:25:41] without strings attached.
[00:25:43] Appreciate it not for what you do or provide or become,
[00:25:46] but simply for who you are right now.
[00:25:49] Many podcasts and social media platforms
[00:25:52] have something to say about what you're not doing
[00:25:55] or who you're not being.
[00:25:57] But I need you to tune out that noise
[00:26:00] and tune into this truth.
[00:26:01] You are more than enough.
[00:26:03] Remember who you are at your core.
[00:26:06] You have a heart that tries and tries
[00:26:09] no matter how hard it gets.
[00:26:10] Man, it's not about being perfect,
[00:26:12] but being present, being real.
[00:26:16] Yes, handle your responsibilities,
[00:26:18] but understand even though you're expected to do,
[00:26:22] you don't have to have it all figured out.
[00:26:25] You're defined by what others say,
[00:26:27] but you should be defined by yourself
[00:26:30] according to what God chose you to be.
[00:26:33] I'm Ron Edwards.
[00:26:40] On the call, on the wall.
[00:26:42] In the heart of struggle,
[00:26:44] in the face of adversity and betrayal,
[00:26:46] a thread of hope and faith
[00:26:48] created tapestry of triumph.
[00:26:50] I'm Denise Edwards,
[00:26:52] and I'm inviting you to take a look
[00:26:54] into the window of my life.
[00:26:56] God promises in his word
[00:26:57] that he will never leave us nor forsake us.
[00:27:00] Well, I say,
[00:27:01] you don't know Jesus is all you need
[00:27:03] until Jesus is all you have.
[00:27:06] Join me in my journey of victory.
[00:27:09] Read about my Romans 828 life
[00:27:11] and find inspiration for your own overcoming life.
[00:27:15] On the call, on the wall
[00:27:17] is available on Amazon and Kindle.
[00:27:20] You can find it where books are available.
[00:27:22] Read the story and share the victories
[00:27:24] that await you through faith and prayer.
[00:27:28] On the call, on the wall.com.
[00:27:31] Visit us today.

[00:27:57] The wise men left Harrods Chambers
[00:28:00] and went on their way.
[00:28:01] The star they had first seen in the east
[00:28:04] reappeared.
[00:28:05] A miracle that, of course,
[00:28:07] overjoyed and enraptured the wise men.
[00:28:09] The star led them to the house
[00:28:11] where Yeshua lay.
[00:28:13] And as soon as the wise men arrived,
[00:28:15] they saw him with his mother Mary,
[00:28:17] and they bowed down and worshipped him.
[00:28:20] They unpacked their satchels
[00:28:21] and gave Jesus gifts of gold,
[00:28:24] frankincense, and myrrh.
[00:28:34] This is Pastor Carl Noble.
[00:28:35] Have a very blessed Christmas,
[00:28:38] always remembering that the greatest gift
[00:28:40] ever given to us was our Lord who died
[00:28:42] and rose again so that we might have life
[00:28:44] both now and forever.
[00:29:47] Yep, we're back.
[00:29:48] This is Rondo Bridge American Experience
[00:29:50] as we celebrate the season,
[00:29:52] the reason for the season, that is,
[00:29:53] and our guest today,
[00:29:55] Pastor Carl Noble.
[00:29:56] Oh, and before we get back to our guest,
[00:29:58] remember I was talking earlier
[00:30:00] about how United States government officials
[00:30:03] are our enemy from within?
[00:30:06] Well, all I had to do was look down the street
[00:30:09] in my own county, Oakland County, Michigan.
[00:30:12] The commissioners gave $3 million
[00:30:13] to the Communist Chinese Party
[00:30:15] and World Economic Forum
[00:30:17] to be the number three
[00:30:19] in the Center for Advanced Manufacturing
[00:30:22] instead of opting
[00:30:23] to be number one in the world.
[00:30:26] So you have officials,
[00:30:28] even local officials like that,
[00:30:30] lowly local officials
[00:30:32] who are trying to help China be number one
[00:30:36] and an entity in the United States number three.
[00:30:38] This is crazy.
[00:30:40] You can't convince me
[00:30:41] that this isn't part of God's judgment
[00:30:44] towards our nation.
[00:30:46] What say you, Pastor Carl?
[00:30:49] Well, yeah, what you said earlier
[00:30:51] before the break,
[00:30:52] I agree with everything that you've said.
[00:30:54] I think the only thing
[00:30:56] I would take issue with
[00:30:58] is that we are dealing,
[00:30:59] especially within the church,
[00:31:01] especially the church,
[00:31:02] but I would also say within the government
[00:31:04] that we are dealing with a remnant
[00:31:06] of faithful people.
[00:31:08] You look at government,
[00:31:13] government corrupts even the best person,
[00:31:16] and there are a few,
[00:31:17] just a few worth anything.
[00:31:20] In the church,
[00:31:22] it is just a remnant,
[00:31:24] seriously,
[00:31:25] of people who firmly believe
[00:31:27] in the scriptures anymore.
[00:31:30] And so,
[00:31:31] you know,
[00:31:32] I think the vast majority,
[00:31:34] if you look at it realistically,
[00:31:37] within the church
[00:31:39] are nothing more than pagan.
[00:31:41] And I would also say
[00:31:42] that the vast majority of Americans
[00:31:45] live a pagan life
[00:31:47] and want very little to do with scripture.
[00:31:49] So,
[00:31:50] you have to understand, too,
[00:31:52] that from a biblical perspective,
[00:31:53] when it talks about the end times,
[00:31:56] is things are going to get worse,
[00:31:58] not better.
[00:32:00] That's where I come from.
[00:32:03] And there are reasons
[00:32:04] why things get worse
[00:32:06] than better.
[00:32:09] Let's say,
[00:32:10] this time next year,
[00:32:11] we have a much better economy.
[00:32:14] There'll be reasons
[00:32:15] for a much better economy
[00:32:16] because right things are done.
[00:32:19] The reason why things continue
[00:32:20] to get worse
[00:32:21] is because people continue
[00:32:22] to be taught wrongly
[00:32:23] and they continue to do wrong things.
[00:32:25] You know,
[00:32:26] one thing leads to another.
[00:32:28] And I am of the belief
[00:32:29] that if right things are taught
[00:32:33] and those who are correctly taught
[00:32:35] are the ones that are in power,
[00:32:37] those are the ones
[00:32:38] that raise their children
[00:32:39] in the way that they should go
[00:32:40] so that they do not depart,
[00:32:42] they will positively impact
[00:32:45] the future.
[00:32:47] Now,
[00:32:47] there will come a time
[00:32:50] where even that won't be
[00:32:54] impactful
[00:32:54] because there is going to come
[00:32:56] a time when God wants
[00:32:57] to wrap it up.
[00:32:59] But until that happens,
[00:33:00] I believe that what we do
[00:33:02] on Earth
[00:33:03] impacts,
[00:33:04] has a great impact
[00:33:06] on which direction
[00:33:07] our nations take.
[00:33:08] And not only here
[00:33:09] in the United States,
[00:33:10] but to our listeners there,
[00:33:11] that affects you
[00:33:12] and Great Britain
[00:33:13] and elsewhere.
[00:33:15] Okay.
[00:33:16] You mentioned King David earlier
[00:33:17] and I appreciate that.
[00:33:19] He's one of my favorites.
[00:33:20] Keep in mind that
[00:33:21] by the time that
[00:33:23] King David died
[00:33:24] and his son Solomon
[00:33:26] came around,
[00:33:28] by the end of Solomon's life
[00:33:30] he was a pagan
[00:33:31] and the entire nation
[00:33:33] of Israel and Judah
[00:33:34] were totally destroyed
[00:33:36] politically.
[00:33:38] And it was nothing
[00:33:39] but downhill from there.
[00:33:41] And to this day
[00:33:42] there is just a remnant
[00:33:44] that are found
[00:33:45] within the land of Israel.
[00:33:47] So, you know,
[00:33:49] David's great reign
[00:33:50] lasted a very,
[00:33:52] very short time
[00:33:53] after his son's demise.
[00:33:57] That's true.
[00:33:58] And that's true.
[00:33:59] And because of the foolishness
[00:34:01] of Solomon
[00:34:02] and the things
[00:34:02] that he did wrong,
[00:34:04] that's what happens.
[00:34:06] I mean,
[00:34:06] when you do wrong,
[00:34:07] even, you know,
[00:34:08] as a national leader
[00:34:09] and it impacts
[00:34:10] the entire country
[00:34:11] as he did,
[00:34:13] that's what happens.
[00:34:14] But when David
[00:34:15] did the good things,
[00:34:17] Israel was great.
[00:34:19] She, for a short time,
[00:34:20] rivaled
[00:34:21] the great nations
[00:34:23] of the world.
[00:34:24] But
[00:34:26] the people,
[00:34:27] you know,
[00:34:27] led by Solomon
[00:34:28] decided to take
[00:34:29] another direction.
[00:34:30] And as you mentioned,
[00:34:32] things went
[00:34:33] kind of haywire.
[00:34:35] But,
[00:34:37] you know,
[00:34:37] there are threats
[00:34:38] to civilization
[00:34:39] at the end of this year.
[00:34:42] But I don't think
[00:34:43] that we are at a point
[00:34:45] in this United States
[00:34:46] of America
[00:34:47] right now
[00:34:48] that
[00:34:50] things are going to end
[00:34:52] as is predicted
[00:34:54] by some.
[00:34:55] I do believe
[00:34:56] we have
[00:34:56] several years
[00:34:58] before we come
[00:34:59] to that final end.
[00:35:01] First of all,
[00:35:02] those who know history,
[00:35:04] even biblical history,
[00:35:04] know that there are
[00:35:05] certain things
[00:35:05] that have not even
[00:35:06] occurred yet.
[00:35:08] and,
[00:35:10] you know,
[00:35:11] it's
[00:35:13] amazing
[00:35:13] how
[00:35:15] on one hand
[00:35:16] you have people
[00:35:17] that
[00:35:19] believe that,
[00:35:20] well,
[00:35:20] it's about over,
[00:35:22] you know,
[00:35:22] lucky notch.
[00:35:23] And then on the other hand,
[00:35:25] you have the other extreme
[00:35:29] where people think
[00:35:30] it doesn't even matter.
[00:35:31] And I'm talking about
[00:35:32] within the church,
[00:35:33] not even outside
[00:35:34] of the church.
[00:35:35] And that's why
[00:35:36] I agree with you,
[00:35:37] sir,
[00:35:37] when you said
[00:35:38] we're dealing
[00:35:38] with a remnant.
[00:35:40] And that's how
[00:35:41] God has dealt
[00:35:42] with historically.
[00:35:43] It's always,
[00:35:43] for the most part,
[00:35:44] been a remnant.
[00:35:45] And the remnant
[00:35:46] was very powerful
[00:35:48] in societies
[00:35:49] where God
[00:35:50] was recognized
[00:35:51] and how those societies
[00:35:52] were great
[00:35:53] overall,
[00:35:54] even though
[00:35:55] it was basically
[00:35:55] blessed because
[00:35:57] of the remnant.
[00:35:58] And that
[00:35:59] includes American history.
[00:36:00] That includes
[00:36:05] for instance,
[00:36:06] in Great Britain's
[00:36:07] history in 1839,
[00:36:08] when through the leadership
[00:36:10] of William Wilberforce,
[00:36:12] Wilberforce,
[00:36:13] that slavery
[00:36:14] was brought
[00:36:15] to an end.
[00:36:16] And when you look
[00:36:18] at how he came
[00:36:20] about
[00:36:22] succeeding
[00:36:23] in that endeavor,
[00:36:24] it's even more
[00:36:25] remarkable
[00:36:26] than the outspoken
[00:36:28] successes
[00:36:29] of people here
[00:36:29] in the United States.
[00:36:30] because in the United States,
[00:36:32] we're expected
[00:36:33] to be outspoken,
[00:36:35] stand up,
[00:36:36] fight for what you believe.
[00:36:38] Whereas in
[00:36:38] Great Britain,
[00:36:40] it's more,
[00:36:41] historically,
[00:36:42] it has been
[00:36:43] more authority-oriented.
[00:36:45] And people were supposed
[00:36:46] to be,
[00:36:46] they were called subjects.
[00:36:48] And they were called
[00:36:49] subjects for a reason
[00:36:50] because they were supposed
[00:36:51] to sit down and be quiet
[00:36:52] except what the king
[00:36:54] and the queen
[00:36:54] or the queen
[00:36:55] dictates
[00:36:56] and later
[00:36:57] the prime minister
[00:36:58] and,
[00:36:59] you know,
[00:36:59] take it and be happy.
[00:37:02] But William Wilberforce
[00:37:03] said,
[00:37:04] no,
[00:37:04] I'm not going to do that.
[00:37:05] And God blessed him
[00:37:07] and he was very successful.
[00:37:09] And I think that today,
[00:37:11] people like yourself
[00:37:12] and others,
[00:37:13] we all need to stand up
[00:37:16] and say,
[00:37:16] no,
[00:37:17] we're not going to deal with it.
[00:37:18] And we take the heat
[00:37:19] and as Trump said,
[00:37:20] fight,
[00:37:21] fight,
[00:37:21] fight.
[00:37:21] And God likes fighters,
[00:37:23] whether they're imperfect
[00:37:24] or not.
[00:37:25] If we seek his forgiveness,
[00:37:26] if we seek his wisdom,
[00:37:29] he will strengthen us
[00:37:30] and we will,
[00:37:31] we can and we'll get
[00:37:32] the job done
[00:37:32] because I don't think
[00:37:34] that America's days
[00:37:35] are over yet.
[00:37:36] I don't think it's
[00:37:37] technically over
[00:37:37] for Great Britain,
[00:37:39] even though she has,
[00:37:40] you know,
[00:37:41] fallen many steps
[00:37:42] down the ladder,
[00:37:43] but she's still
[00:37:43] a great nation
[00:37:44] with a lot of great
[00:37:45] potential,
[00:37:46] a lot of great people
[00:37:47] there.
[00:37:48] But it's up to us
[00:37:50] to make that choice.
[00:37:52] God allows us
[00:37:53] free moral agency
[00:37:54] to make a choice.
[00:37:55] I choose
[00:37:56] that we'd be
[00:37:57] a great nation again.
[00:37:59] But will the American
[00:38:00] people choose that
[00:38:02] when they are confronted
[00:38:04] by what it takes
[00:38:05] to make America
[00:38:06] great again,
[00:38:07] which goes way beyond
[00:38:09] just voting
[00:38:10] for the right individuals
[00:38:12] in office?
[00:38:13] What say you?
[00:38:16] Yeah,
[00:38:17] I agree.
[00:38:21] But you and I
[00:38:23] know that
[00:38:23] we pray for America
[00:38:25] on a daily basis.
[00:38:26] We hope for the best.
[00:38:28] I'm just kind of
[00:38:30] relaying what I see
[00:38:31] in reality,
[00:38:33] not only for the country,
[00:38:34] but for the church.
[00:38:36] It is dying.
[00:38:38] If not,
[00:38:39] it's already dead.
[00:38:40] Even Bonhoeffer,
[00:38:41] when he came over here
[00:38:42] in the 1930s,
[00:38:44] he found that
[00:38:45] the church
[00:38:46] in America
[00:38:47] was,
[00:38:47] he called
[00:38:48] dead orthodoxy,
[00:38:49] which it was.
[00:38:50] The only place
[00:38:51] he found true
[00:38:52] Christian worship
[00:38:54] was in the black
[00:38:56] congregations.
[00:38:58] and
[00:39:00] I
[00:39:02] see it
[00:39:03] from a totally
[00:39:03] different perspective,
[00:39:04] I guess,
[00:39:04] Ron.
[00:39:07] From my perspective,
[00:39:08] I don't have any hope
[00:39:09] for the church,
[00:39:10] but that's just
[00:39:11] my perspective.
[00:39:12] I hope I'm wrong,
[00:39:14] but there are
[00:39:15] very,
[00:39:16] very few people
[00:39:16] within the church
[00:39:17] that stand up
[00:39:18] for what's right anymore.
[00:39:21] Go ahead.
[00:39:22] Well,
[00:39:22] see,
[00:39:23] when I speak
[00:39:24] of the church,
[00:39:25] when I say the church
[00:39:26] and I think it's going
[00:39:27] to turn around,
[00:39:28] I'm not speaking
[00:39:29] of the traditional church.
[00:39:32] I'm not speaking
[00:39:33] of those
[00:39:33] because church,
[00:39:35] you know,
[00:39:35] we are the church.
[00:39:38] You know,
[00:39:38] not the Presbyterians,
[00:39:40] not the Lutherans,
[00:39:41] not the gay-loving
[00:39:43] Methodists,
[00:39:44] you know,
[00:39:46] or the rest of them
[00:39:47] or the denominations.
[00:39:48] The church is God's people.
[00:39:50] And when God's people
[00:39:51] come together
[00:39:52] and stand up,
[00:39:53] stand tall,
[00:39:54] that is the church,
[00:39:55] the one that would be
[00:39:56] recognized by God Almighty.
[00:39:58] And so,
[00:40:00] and the church
[00:40:01] that leads a nation
[00:40:04] into doing something
[00:40:06] that is great,
[00:40:07] not just being,
[00:40:09] you know,
[00:40:09] oh, wow,
[00:40:10] we love those
[00:40:11] because they're more sincere
[00:40:12] because I guess
[00:40:13] they were more emotional
[00:40:14] and things of that nature.
[00:40:15] But it's about principles.
[00:40:18] And that's the thing
[00:40:19] that bothers me
[00:40:22] when it comes
[00:40:22] to the church.
[00:40:23] They've gotten away
[00:40:24] from the principles.
[00:40:25] Yes,
[00:40:25] you can go to a great
[00:40:26] black church
[00:40:27] and boy,
[00:40:28] they'll be,
[00:40:28] you know,
[00:40:29] swinging from the raptors,
[00:40:30] raptures,
[00:40:31] a lot of them.
[00:40:33] But
[00:40:35] we've got to get back
[00:40:37] to solid,
[00:40:39] ironclad principles.
[00:40:42] And I used to call it
[00:40:43] brain church.
[00:40:46] You know,
[00:40:46] it was because
[00:40:47] of the brain church
[00:40:48] that I call it.
[00:40:49] You had a Harvard University.
[00:40:52] You had a King's College,
[00:40:53] which they,
[00:40:54] when the left
[00:40:55] were allowed to take over,
[00:40:56] they turned to Columbia.
[00:40:58] And so through God
[00:40:59] comes great wisdom,
[00:41:02] great decisions,
[00:41:04] great achievements,
[00:41:07] and great societies.
[00:41:09] And that's where I think
[00:41:10] we can come back.
[00:41:12] We can come back
[00:41:13] from the dead
[00:41:13] that you see.
[00:41:15] And so I want to give you
[00:41:16] the last word
[00:41:18] and also
[00:41:19] would love for you
[00:41:21] to give us a prayer
[00:41:22] as well.
[00:41:24] Okay.
[00:41:24] I don't have a last word.
[00:41:28] I just keep,
[00:41:30] want to ask people
[00:41:31] to keep
[00:41:33] in their prayers
[00:41:34] the church.
[00:41:35] And I would say
[00:41:36] from a Lutheran Church,
[00:41:37] Missouri Synod perspective,
[00:41:38] we certainly are part
[00:41:39] of the church.
[00:41:40] and yet I am also
[00:41:41] part of that denomination.
[00:41:44] I think that,
[00:41:46] well,
[00:41:47] at least our pastors
[00:41:49] preach the gospel.
[00:41:50] I'm not sure about others.
[00:41:52] Let's pray.
[00:41:53] Heavenly Father,
[00:41:54] we come into this
[00:41:55] magnificent time
[00:41:57] of the year,
[00:41:58] the magnum mysterium,
[00:42:00] the great mystery
[00:42:01] that God became flesh
[00:42:03] and dwelt among us.
[00:42:04] we ask you to send
[00:42:06] your Holy Spirit
[00:42:07] into the hearts
[00:42:08] of all Americans,
[00:42:10] if that is possible,
[00:42:12] to change their hearts
[00:42:13] so that they would
[00:42:14] look to the cross
[00:42:15] and look to the Christ child
[00:42:17] not as some
[00:42:19] nice Christmassy thing,
[00:42:21] but to see that
[00:42:22] he grew up to die
[00:42:23] cruelly on the cross
[00:42:24] so that our sins
[00:42:26] are forgiven
[00:42:26] and yet remembering
[00:42:28] he rose from the dead
[00:42:29] so that we might have
[00:42:31] life in his name.
[00:42:32] In Jesus' name,
[00:42:34] Amen.
[00:42:39] Thank you very much,
[00:42:39] sir,
[00:42:40] and we do look forward
[00:42:41] to our next visit,
[00:42:42] and if we don't talk
[00:42:43] before then,
[00:42:44] Merry Christmas to you
[00:42:45] and Happy New Year.
[00:42:49] Amen.
[00:42:50] Talk to you later
[00:42:51] and Godspeed.

[00:45:14] is using both hands
[00:45:17] I've gotta be free
[00:45:21] the way God made men
[00:45:26] by the damn UN
[00:45:28] I can tell you
[00:45:29] we need more like yours.
[00:45:30] The Ron Edwards
[00:45:31] American Experience
[00:45:33] a charter member
[00:45:34] of the emerging
[00:45:35] new mainstream media
[00:45:37] is not the biggest
[00:45:38] but your voices
[00:45:38] and actions are
[00:45:39] so don't give up.
[00:46:12] Where our unalienable rights
[00:46:14] are celebrated.
[00:46:25] Celebrating the season
[00:46:26] I'm Ron Edwards
[00:46:27] and this is
[00:46:28] the Ron Edwards
[00:46:28] American Experience
[00:46:30] eighth day edition
[00:46:31] and yeah
[00:46:32] that was the nutcracker
[00:46:33] takes me back to a time
[00:46:34] when we used to go
[00:46:35] to those beautiful
[00:46:36] Playhouse Square theaters
[00:46:37] and see those
[00:46:39] wonderful beautiful
[00:46:40] nutcracker productions
[00:46:42] wonderful memories indeed.
[00:46:45] Well you know
[00:46:46] hidden in the omnibus bill
[00:46:48] the United States Congress
[00:46:50] has inserted language
[00:46:52] into the continuing resolution
[00:46:54] allowing it to quash
[00:46:55] any subpoena
[00:46:56] Kash Patel or Pam Bondi
[00:46:58] might issue
[00:46:59] for House data.
[00:47:01] Hmm
[00:47:02] this would make
[00:47:03] any investigation
[00:47:03] into the January 6th committee
[00:47:05] all but impossible.
[00:47:07] It would cripple
[00:47:08] any investigation
[00:47:09] into Adam Schiff
[00:47:11] Lizard Cheney
[00:47:12] Swalwell
[00:47:13] and others.
[00:47:15] See that's another reason
[00:47:16] why that bill
[00:47:18] had to be shut down
[00:47:19] and cleaned out.
[00:47:21] If you want a continuing
[00:47:23] resolution
[00:47:24] okay
[00:47:25] it's about money
[00:47:26] to tide you over
[00:47:28] until January 20th
[00:47:30] when President Trump
[00:47:31] takes over.
[00:47:32] I mean that's not hard
[00:47:33] to understand.
[00:47:34] I mean these
[00:47:36] people in government
[00:47:37] they think
[00:47:39] that we're stupid
[00:47:39] and we're not going
[00:47:40] to find out
[00:47:41] what they're doing.
[00:47:41] This is no longer
[00:47:43] the days of
[00:47:43] CBS News
[00:47:44] the BBC
[00:47:47] or the CBC
[00:47:48] in Canada
[00:47:50] it's over.
[00:47:52] We're finding out
[00:47:53] the truth.
[00:47:55] You know
[00:47:56] you know
[00:47:56] organizations like
[00:47:57] the Washington Pundit
[00:47:58] Patriot Approved
[00:48:00] and others
[00:48:00] are sending out
[00:48:02] the truth
[00:48:03] and you're going
[00:48:03] to be found out.
[00:48:04] We're finding out
[00:48:05] who's naughty
[00:48:06] and nice.
[00:48:07] And right now
[00:48:08] there's a lot
[00:48:09] of naughty people
[00:48:09] in government
[00:48:10] in the United States
[00:48:12] and in Great Britain
[00:48:14] too.
[00:48:14] You guys are
[00:48:14] catching it on the chin
[00:48:16] too.
[00:48:17] My goodness.
[00:48:20] Anyway
[00:48:20] my friends
[00:48:24] do you ever feel
[00:48:25] that you're
[00:48:25] standing alone
[00:48:28] with Christ.
[00:48:32] Sometimes
[00:48:33] you know
[00:48:34] we may feel
[00:48:35] that way.
[00:48:37] But notwithstanding
[00:48:38] the Lord stood
[00:48:39] with me
[00:48:39] and strengthened me.
[00:48:40] That's in
[00:48:41] Timothy
[00:48:42] chapter 4
[00:48:43] verse 17.
[00:48:44] How many times
[00:48:45] have we experienced
[00:48:46] those who declare
[00:48:47] their love for the Lord
[00:48:48] until they had
[00:48:49] the opportunity
[00:48:50] to prove their love
[00:48:51] only to play
[00:48:51] the hypocrite?
[00:48:53] How many times?
[00:48:55] How many times
[00:48:56] early in his tenure
[00:48:58] as Speaker of the House
[00:48:59] did Mikey Johnson
[00:49:00] tell us how much
[00:49:01] he loved God
[00:49:01] and how much
[00:49:02] he honored the Lord
[00:49:03] and wanted to govern
[00:49:05] from that perspective?
[00:49:07] But yet
[00:49:07] the only one
[00:49:09] he honored
[00:49:09] was Hakeem Jeffries.
[00:49:12] They honor the Lord
[00:49:13] with their lips
[00:49:14] yet their hearts
[00:49:15] are far from him.
[00:49:17] Matthew 15.
[00:49:18] 8.
[00:49:18] When you look
[00:49:19] at the men of God
[00:49:20] from the past
[00:49:21] up to the present
[00:49:21] such as Noah
[00:49:22] the preacher
[00:49:23] of righteousness
[00:49:24] who must
[00:49:25] have been mocked
[00:49:26] scoffed
[00:49:27] and threatened
[00:49:28] before the rain came
[00:49:29] and the flood
[00:49:30] overtook those
[00:49:30] who refused
[00:49:31] his message
[00:49:32] and they drowned
[00:49:33] in their sorrow.
[00:49:35] I think of Moses
[00:49:36] who confronted
[00:49:37] the Pharaoh
[00:49:37] and instructed him
[00:49:39] to let the children
[00:49:40] of Israel go
[00:49:41] in Exodus 5.1
[00:49:43] so that he
[00:49:44] could lead them
[00:49:45] into the promised land.
[00:49:47] Moses stood alone
[00:49:49] only to have
[00:49:49] the children of Israel
[00:49:50] turn on him
[00:49:51] like a bunch
[00:49:52] of vipers
[00:49:53] to the point
[00:49:54] of wanting
[00:49:54] to stone him
[00:49:55] to death.
[00:49:58] Consider little David
[00:50:00] taking on
[00:50:01] huge Goliath
[00:50:02] while being ridiculed
[00:50:03] by his own brother.
[00:50:05] You can check that out
[00:50:06] in 1 Samuel
[00:50:07] chapter 17
[00:50:09] verse 28
[00:50:10] or Paul
[00:50:11] who was put
[00:50:12] through a variety
[00:50:13] of trials
[00:50:13] and tribulations
[00:50:14] for simply preaching
[00:50:15] Christ
[00:50:16] and him crucified.
[00:50:18] 1 Corinthians 1.23
[00:50:19] 2 Corinthians
[00:50:21] 11.23
[00:50:22] through 28
[00:50:23] when he stood alone.
[00:50:25] The good news
[00:50:26] is that they stood.
[00:50:28] They did not falter.
[00:50:30] They did not fail.
[00:50:32] They stayed the course.
[00:50:34] They fought
[00:50:34] the good fight
[00:50:35] of faith.
[00:50:37] 1 Timothy 6.12
[00:50:39] And thank God
[00:50:40] that they did.
[00:50:41] Without their example
[00:50:42] there would
[00:50:42] where would the world
[00:50:44] be today?
[00:50:45] Now before you tell me
[00:50:46] how bad it is
[00:50:47] just think of
[00:50:48] how much worse
[00:50:49] it could be.
[00:50:51] There might not
[00:50:52] have ever been
[00:50:52] a United States
[00:50:53] of America
[00:50:54] where there was
[00:50:54] even a chance
[00:50:55] for people to live free.
[00:50:57] But think about this
[00:50:59] my friends
[00:50:59] Jesus fed
[00:51:00] 5,000 people
[00:51:02] but only 500
[00:51:03] followed him
[00:51:04] after lunch.
[00:51:06] Yep
[00:51:07] he had 12 disciples
[00:51:09] but only 3
[00:51:10] went further
[00:51:11] into the garden
[00:51:12] and only 1
[00:51:13] 1 stood with him
[00:51:15] at the cross.
[00:51:15] It is true
[00:51:17] that the closer
[00:51:17] you get to the cross
[00:51:18] the smaller
[00:51:19] the crowd gets.
[00:51:21] How contrary
[00:51:23] to what it is
[00:51:24] that we see today
[00:51:26] in the American church
[00:51:27] and why?
[00:51:29] And I'll say the same
[00:51:30] for Great Britain.
[00:51:32] It's because
[00:51:33] of the price
[00:51:34] that it cost
[00:51:35] those who follow him.
[00:51:37] Yet it was Christ
[00:51:38] who paid
[00:51:38] the ultimate price.
[00:51:41] And that's noted
[00:51:42] in 1 John
[00:51:43] chapter 4
[00:51:45] verse 10.
[00:51:47] Now
[00:51:49] a man of God
[00:51:50] has few friends
[00:51:51] at least today
[00:51:53] it seems
[00:51:53] and is
[00:51:55] not interested
[00:51:56] in being part
[00:51:57] of the good
[00:51:58] old boys club.
[00:51:59] Yep.
[00:52:02] Regardless
[00:52:03] of the opposition
[00:52:04] though
[00:52:04] he alone
[00:52:06] is interested
[00:52:06] in living
[00:52:07] for the Lord
[00:52:08] living to do
[00:52:09] the right things
[00:52:11] even when
[00:52:12] it gets hard
[00:52:12] even when you're
[00:52:13] opposed.
[00:52:15] and that
[00:52:16] his will
[00:52:17] is done
[00:52:17] on earth
[00:52:18] as it is
[00:52:19] in heaven.
[00:52:21] He seeks
[00:52:22] what most
[00:52:22] glorifies Christ
[00:52:23] and that men
[00:52:24] might be made free.
[00:52:28] He's learned
[00:52:29] out of gratitude
[00:52:31] because of
[00:52:32] what Christ
[00:52:33] did for him
[00:52:33] on the cross
[00:52:34] that holiness
[00:52:35] removes compromise.
[00:52:37] He doesn't
[00:52:38] need a crowd
[00:52:39] nor the appropriation
[00:52:41] of men
[00:52:41] to find
[00:52:42] his acceptance.
[00:52:42] he is in Christ
[00:52:44] who is
[00:52:45] his life.
[00:52:47] He also
[00:52:48] knows
[00:52:48] that he
[00:52:49] has a cloud
[00:52:50] of witnesses
[00:52:51] that went before him
[00:52:52] reassuring him
[00:52:53] through their examples
[00:52:54] in his endeavors.
[00:52:56] And we all
[00:52:58] understand
[00:52:58] as Christians
[00:53:00] that we are not
[00:53:01] called to be
[00:53:02] leaders of
[00:53:03] consensus
[00:53:03] but rather
[00:53:04] molders
[00:53:05] of consensus.
[00:53:07] On that note
[00:53:09] I must
[00:53:10] tell you
[00:53:11] that now
[00:53:12] that my time
[00:53:12] is up
[00:53:13] thank you
[00:53:13] so much
[00:53:14] for your time
[00:53:15] and God bless
[00:53:16] you and Merry Christmas.
[00:53:18] That's all folks.
[00:53:19] Tags at stage right.
[00:53:23] And as I always
[00:53:24] say at this time
[00:53:25] remember to pray
[00:53:25] for your nation
[00:53:26] pray for your family
[00:53:28] pray for your friends
[00:53:29] and even your enemies
[00:53:31] that they get it right
[00:53:31] before it's much
[00:53:32] too late.
[00:53:34] Yep
[00:53:35] and don't forget
[00:53:36] to treat others
[00:53:37] the way you would
[00:53:38] want to be treated.
[00:53:39] Until next time
[00:53:40] my friends
[00:53:41] I'm Ron Edwards
[00:53:42] bye now.
[00:53:44] Bye now.
