So what is it mean to spark a gospel based moral and cultural revolution will look like stage for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and resident of fire school of ministry getting to the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH your again is Dr. Michael Brown. Isn't it interesting that on the one hand here in America you have this rising ultra nationalism, not just America first American only then, on the flipside you have this rising ultra anti-Americanism as if everything having to do with America is bad and NBC sports announcer thinks American flags need to be kept out of's ports.

Yet this happened a couple days back. Diane NBC does not not happy was in the American flag and sports presentations. We keep keep politics out of sports. Please be like sports to be politics free, so even to celebrate our country at the beginning of a game that is now being political.

You have the extremes rising on each side. I tell you, God is a better way, welcome to the broadcast. This is Michael Brown them a call 8663 freight 7884. I do have a number of news items I want to talk to you about some things I want to get into. I never thought I'd be quoting The Simpsons on this broadcast but it's amazing that when political correctness goes so far to have something like the Simpsons cartoon show. No, I don't watch it and couple excerpts I've seen over the years with outcome. Mann nonetheless The Simpsons is or Simpsons is or Simpsons are exposing the extreme PC atmosphere of today want to talk to you about that in a number of other things and then I want to give you an understanding of what I mean by gospel baseball and cultural revolution every day. You can be introduced here. Some of you been listening for many years.

Your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution actually is not my words, I didn't come up with that description. Others come up with the description suggested it to me a nice perfect that summarizes things wonderfully. Let's go with it wasn't mean highly flesh that out. What will that actually look like. What is your role.

What is my role in that. So we'll talk about that today as well.

On the 15. You have a question you want to ask a random or directed to what I'm speaking about tics and calls as well. 866-34-TRUTH 7884 in the second hour going to speak with a leader from Canada about a bill that was passed there allegedly to restrict Islamic phobia. Really, it's an assault on free speech in Canada will talk about that when we get an update from James Robison. I want to find out his perspective on America first versus America only, and does the rest of the world need America's involvement, all that come your way today, 8663 freight 7884.

Yesterday I had a fascinating conversation with Phil Cook, Christian leader in Hollywood and he told me about the role that Hollywood play told me that she's been the role of Christians played in Hollywood for many years and that Christians were dominant force in Hollywood for decades and then basically is Hollywood went in one direction. Christians pulled out and he feels it's a reason that that Hollywood got so dark, but an article was sent to me faith wire.com March 21, 2017. Christians once dominated Hollywood the fascinating movie making history. You likely didn't know why. Has has that tie-in with the gospel based moral and cultural and spiritual revolution.

What about the so-called seven mountains theology is a good thing is that heretical's attire was on talk about all that come your way today, right here. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown how do you feel about the state of the nation right now America.

If you you feel were heading in the right direction spiritually you feel were heading in the right direction morally and culturally.

You feel were heading in the right direction economically, militarily, as far as our securities effect, we heading in the right direction or the wrong direction. If you believe were heading in the wrong direction. How long have we been heading in the wrong direction. Do you believe the tide can be turned or things reversible these questions we need to ask as we are called to be God's ambassadors in this world with the message of reconciliation being disciples and making disciples, we are called to hunger and thirst for righteousness, we are called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are called to make God known make God known on the earth, so what effect should we have, how should we use our influence. How can we make a difference in this generation and in the coming generations with Jesus doesn't return for 50 or hundred years, but it is return for 500 years. I can't countenance that myself.

But hey, I don't imagine a call the first disciples would've countenanced 2000 years before the return of Jesus without further revelation from God. I wonder if folks living a thousand years ago predicting that Jesus was coming at the end. At that time in the thousand years. Somehow I thought that was the end of the age. I wonder if they were to believe that notes going to be more than a thousand years.

After that he still one of return.

Those of us who live with this mentality of rat here any moment often don't think in a long-term way. The was those of us who live with the mentality of its over everything is crashing down.

There is no hope.

There's no way to turn around off in we do not look for ways to make a positive difference. You are listening to the line of fire. This is Michael Brown it's my joy to be with you. 866-348-7884 so let's talk about some recent news.

Let's talk about what's happening in the culture, then let's talk about what it means to see a gospel based moral and cultural revolution in a few away and give a question or comment 866-348-7884 here's an article with Guardian.com and will miss this from you three days ago April 15 Mary Poppins*Dick Van Dyke slams modern screen violence.

So, Dick Van Dyke is now what in his early 90s and he's filming a a cameo role in Mary Poppins returns scheduled for release next year. He's warned of his fears over the effects of quote scary video games and films on young children so those are my age of 62.

Think back to what we watched as children on TV or what we watched as families on TV. Think back to the shows like leave it to beaver and lassie. Think back to the cartoon shows like the Flintstones and the Jetsons and compare those to say modern day cartoon shows maybe like South Park or The Simpsons compare the lassies and leave it to beaver is to you tell me, tell me the most extreme sitcom or the most gory violence or demonic show are the most sex filled show of a book, due out in September called saving a sick America and in that book. II open the book. The introduction there's a man with his family.

1962 kids from school with summer and it's it's TV night to go watch. Leave it to beaver together and I think one of the show and game night the night before. Played Monopoly and things like that in a few weeks earlier they they did something really special.

They went to New York City and they saw the play my fair Lady which was just packed out every single night that was TV night kids get a good stiff little late March. Leave it to beaver and during the show during the show that the father falls asleep when he wakes up it's it's today it's it's the year 2017. It's the talk about it. It's a whole different world and seen from TV to what's happened to the kids and family. I want to give you all the details think it's a very effective opening chapter ask God to to give me grace to write something in a short amount of pictures that would capture the feel of how the society is changed with all the imperfections and problems in America at that time the early 60s with the segregation that was still real in many parts of the cart of the country with the inequality towards women. That was the real in many parts the country with other issues we had. It was a far more family-friendly, far more innocent country and culture than today, Dick Van Dyke 91 years old. Please video games incite violent behavior that big screen violence is affecting impressionable young people "idolize it is a romantic way of life is no doubt Walt Disney would be would have been horrified that explicit depictions of blood-borne killings of the contemporary productions created to entertain children were spoken out about it and I said that Disney would feel about the aggressive pushing of LGBT activism as well in children's pictures and I please. Video games incite violent okay got that van Dyck rose to prominence and films included, bye-bye Birdie Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as well as his TV sitcom the Dick Van Dyke show the pictures I was a modern-day show today or if the Lucy Dez and Lucy. Without that was a symbol that was a modern-day show on picture how that might be today.

I since we lost Walt Disney. For one thing, Walt was a child that Hardy had such creativity and imagination. We said we were both children looking for inner adults.

Also kids like to be scared. It's delicious feeling, but he did with which is evil, queens and things like that now because the blood and violence but several others which are the riches he reclaims. This is a better Walt, if it just existed to be some fantasy and this represents bad characters I'd say it's different than slicing people up in blood and gore, but he argued the children's films from Hollywood so-called Golden age taught morals matters when I was a teenager and model myself after the way, Fred Astaire, Cary Grant dressed now could simulate street gangs like to dress like hoods. That's just a reversal or picking the wrong role models, Sony productions record all gun firing killings and violence in entertainment of almost become interchangeable contra screens at depictions of young people driving cars in a crazy way with films of the past were family would be driving on the highway saying all that rubs off on kids. There is some research to show that observing aggression increases the likelihood of a child mimicking one study found that high levels of violence in shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Pok�mon could make children more aggressive. Such researchers to van Dyck's frustration with filmmakers to limit screen violence has no effect on children quote we know it isn't true. I would walk at the movies that were uplifting feeling inspired. We go to a cowboy movie we come home playing cowboys. It does affect one yeah I mean didn't you do that you see something in the movies and you acted out your gonna be like the star you gonna be like the hero or the heroine you make believe you doing this and that stuff you learned of the moves that not everything you learn was good. All I'm saying is, yeah.

This stuff influences you. This stuff impacts you van Dyck says this is tried in vain to raise his criticisms produces culture only 20s they of course don't think they're doing any harm fixing the Harry Potter films are to violent their wonderful entertaining but they're kind of scary to scary and he's inundated with letters from young people aged eight and upwards rectum after retro Mary Poppins of the films from Hollywood passes. They asked why are there movies like that. Now what is changed. Even kids sense that there's something gone wrong with his own films. Mary Poppins this practice favorite are probably the most fun was hard work but something magical happened every day.

It was a glorious thing to have done.

There is great spirit about it or that was Walt. Of course he was just spurring us on a confidence in us and let us be free with it and that comes across in the film.

It has that spirit right. I don't think you can really argue with the direction the things have gone in terms of violence in terms of sex in terms of it just assumed you've got the hero and heroine in the their boyfriend and girlfriend but that married course to sleep together live in the same house and this guy in a one night stand this gallon.

One night stand. That's just normal. That's just part of life and and that's that's the least of it in terms of what's being put forward as normal.

That's why say we need a gospel based moral and cultural revolution, then the campuses then the attack on freedom then the intolerance of the so-called progressives and liberals. This takes us in another direction entirely want to talk about that than what it means what it looks like to have a revolution turn the tide in the gospel, but how the spirit.

I believe it happened. I believe we've even seen seeds of this writer. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown going us on the line of fire. This is my round voice of sanity and spiritual clarity, 866-348-7884 is the number to call and if you haven't visited a website recently.

We got some recent videos I am going to come to college campuses. I am, you will not believe what some campuses are teaching just heard moments ago about a professor worsened Arizona finals time gave the students a choice. You can either take your final order or join a protest against Donald Trump. You get the same grade just requested great for protesting yeah that's that's recent video and is the preacher rapture biblical or the rapture in general is the Bible say so you find that on our latest videos and some of my latest articles one Christians care about the one we care about the slaughter of Christians and is this what's meant by equality, a question for leftists and progressives and then five reasons why chaotically categorically reject the alt write version of Jesus. Okay college campuses. More riots. Berkeley University anti-Trump protest violence breaks out against comp protesters and police sit back and don't do anything initially. And yes, pretty well documented that many of the protesters were paid by extreme left-wing groups to further foment disruption and anti-Trump sentiment so you have a few paid protesters on a campus in some of the radical militants on the left. Joining them that supposed to paint the picture that the whole nation is up in arms against Donald Trump some more. 20 or not that's going on campus is a conservative comes in to speak on a campus like Berkeley or other liberal campuses and they are shut down their protests. The people are unable to get on campus, there is violence. The speeches are called off this this is this Francis in the name of progressivism. This friends is in the name of tolerance. This friends is in the name of a liberal spirit is anything but we said for many years that that those championing championing diversity basically mean my way or the highway when they say diversity. Those who talk about being inclusive mean exclusive of all views but their own. Those who talk about tolerance are utterly intolerant to all who differ with them.

These these realities friends. I once received a letter from a company that would not work with me because they were inclusive and were excluding you.

Because were inclusive won't tolerate you because right because were tolerant. We ban you.

We will not work with you.

We will not participate in your project because we believe in diversity, doublespeak, and then on the campuses. This high for PC attitude where there are certain liberal talking points that you cannot contradict and you cannot make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Of course, the one she differ with you. Make them feel uncomfortable. Consider the bad ones there. The bad ones, but this extreme intolerance. That's what this Homer Simpson click or The Simpsons clip illustrated just the mad the PC madness of campuses. No scented earlier today and watch the clip. It was was too late to put on the airline over them all in on Simpson's of the show-cut but this it may, I did it did debate a few weeks ago at Kennesaw State University and one of the young men responsible for setting up the debate is a student there that he told me that during finals week. They they have rooms with crayons and coloring books for students to go there.

The yes these are university students, college students, so between 18 years old and into the 20s and 30s. They have coloring books there so the students the stress during finals week.

They can go there and color. If they have dolls and I wonder if they have pacifiers that wonder if they have cribs where you say that you're being heart no friends, friends, this is ridiculous. This is cultural madness of the clip member to students. Campus class students battling over what constitutes free speech.

Let's listen. We haven't their computer freeze right. I will keep talking. Why find out what happened to our system. There'd all right, it won't play just that clip or the whole thing froze on us because the clip is good to it before I you get that sorted out and let me know. But everything you triggered me, triggered me. Hey, have a Merry Christmas to you just triggered me because what if I am not one of those who celebrates Christmas. What if I am not one of those who believes in the house. What if I am one of those was offended by reference to Christmas while hey you have a happy holiday old and now all you now you are what were your just blurring everything together and wondered what what if this is not a holiday for me and my exaggerating barely barely hey won't play around the golf with me one day.what what what kind of white privilege heterosexual superiority thing is that the Who's Who says I have money to play golf.

Who says I have the ability to to play golf who who who who says I golf you just insulted me boy, that's a beautiful outfit you're wearing today that you just just because that's a female. You just degraded that person. You don't see any value at that time about these opposed to some stuff. I'm illustrating play around the golf Merry Christmas. It's nice out for you or these you think it will University North Carolina put out a while ago saying this is also forbidden speech can say that you cannot say this stuff you say this stuff that it's created can trigger words the safe citizens culture by this of course is cultural madness here, a father was a Brown University I'll check the father is reading the acceptance letter that his daughter got University and as he's reading it. He notices something strange with the grammar. Instead of referring to.

She and her in things like that. It keeps referring to.

They, them thing and then yeah and okay maybe it was just edited incorrectly and little roses being sent to a female or no that was intentional because their avoiding making any kind of gender distinctions and explain that to the father know this is our policy support stuff. My daughter seriously. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown like her quite often people who struggled immensely in their lives there.

People who have experienced extreme marginalization impressions are people who are most susceptible people to violence in like anyone. Our society so when you mock people: snowflakes, then you you're not recognizing how they been hurt.

Okay, first thing people have been hurt want to do our best to help them in the midst of their pain.

We want to do our best to help them find strength, but you do not do that by the denying the reality of the rest of the world you look there are some people that are afraid to go outdoors there, some people are afraid to go indoor there is there some people who are afraid of heights. There's some people are afraid of probably level ground. The some people are afraid of tall people, or should it all these phobias exist. Don't mock them, but we do now. Do not try to create a certain real unreal world so that they don't feel threatened. This is not reality.

What if someone was afraid of white people are afraid of black people are afraid of of women are afraid of man or whatever it is, do therefore remove all of them from their world. We don't want to feel threatened and then one of my fears different than your fears and your fears live in 1/3 person is really given infinite number code safe spaces and unwanted people do for centuries before we ever came up with this stuff is social and cultural madness so here is here is an explanation of safe spaces. Clip number three and the individual speaking identifies as a trans woman living in Canada.

There's two things that they spaces for her to one thing refers to is environment. Specifically educational environments that specifically do not tolerate discrimination, harassment and violence targeting members of marginalized communities and historically that was especially members of the queer and trans community. Okay, so any difference. Just remember any difference that you have any lack of affirmation any lack of celebration. This is tantamount to offending this this is tantamount to some type of attack.

This is tantamount to some type of disruption and even though may not be physical violence or anything related to physical violence is violence because it is hurting once feeling so if I had some identifies gay in the room and I was asked my view on marriage and explained biblically and cultural historically.

Why rejected two men or two women, the other is called marriage that would now be assault on that person. That would be an active verbal violence against that person. If there was some identify as transgender in that room and an ice was explaining why I believe it's important to celebrate gender distinctions and why biological boy should be able to compete against biological girls and things like that that would not be considered a violation of that person safe space now of course she could detect Christians all you want, because they are not the persecuted minority marginalized here in America. One more click with number four. The other side refers to community organize spaces or members for marginalized communities come together, they talk about their experiences. They got support from each other and they build community on a university or somewhere else like the broader community for members of that group. So the safe space now may be your black student and because you have been oppressed and marginalized in American history. Need to save space there.

So the white students there preserving the white students in the new potential speech of any kind could make you feel marginalized United to create this environment on campus friends. It is one thing to renounce racism is one thing to renounce hatred, it is one thing to announce cruelty.

It is another thing to go the way of this cultural and social madness. It is cultural suicide. In fact, puts the antidote thing I care on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown to write Matt with 1st Pl. in America.

The college campus. Stanley Kurtz international review April 12 withdrawing our college campuses and how can we fix it this past week Manhattan Institute scholar Heather McDonald knowledgeable support of America's criminal justice system and thoughtful critic of the black lives matter movement was repeatedly shot down by protesters at UCLA, then silenced and forced to escape with the police escort the next day during which should've been her talk at Claremont McKenna College.

These instance incidents for the February riot that forced the cancellation of emollient office talk at UC Berkeley in the March shut down the middle. The college of conservative Charles Murray, followed by the violent attack that sent Merle Murray's liberal interlocutor Prof. Allison stagger to the hospital. The immediate lesson of the UCLA shut that on the Claremont shutdown is that widespread condemnation by all sides of the Berkeley and Middlebury instance incidents is not restored campus free speech on the contrary, America's colleges continued their descent to low-grade anarchy. Why is that the immediate exclamations that left us college students are furious at the election of Donald Trump's president, yet often a liberal demonstration swept over the nation's campuses during the 2015, 16 year academic year.

Well before Trump became a factor. The crisis of free speech has also been aggravated by the rising tide of shout downs and disruption supposedly speaker since 2014 before that Kurtz is our report in 2013 on a few of the more egregious science incidents barred by the campus fossil fuel divestment movement then in full swing. In fact, I began covering campus silencing incidents for NRO national review online in 2000 woman I wrote about many UC Berkeley students stormed the offices of the daily California destroyed a run of papers containing a David Horowitz at opposing reparations for slavery. Today's problems are hardly knew exactly exactly. I've been dealing with this for over a decade now when it comes to LGBT issues and about to explain what I mean by gospel baseball and cultural revolution. I've obviously setting things up in these first 30, 40 minutes talking about the state of the nation talking about what's happening on our campuses talking about the various problems that we are facing today but I began dealing with this in 2004 when God began to lay on my heart get involved with LGBT activists the word be function with his many Pinots reach out and resist reach out to the people with compassion resist the agenda with courage. I knew the moment we started to do that would be vilified beat, we'd be attacked would be slander the ugliest ways imaginable and it's happened itself in ways beyond what you believe. Trust me, if you so what came away in a weekly basis, sometimes daily basis. Sometimes an hourly basis.

Am I complaining about some mortar. I don't belong in Fox's book of martyrs. Alright I'm fine I'm blessed all is well, but if you saw the ugliness that came my way.

The death wishes.

Sometimes even the death threats the.

The degree of evil in the communications towards me on a regular basis.

You understand that when you touch certain issues you are going to be attacked at that link them to give you some pictures of the paint some pictures for imagine this I'm sitting having a conversation with you right and I'm saying it's it's very very important to to manage anger and an intemperate to be self-controlled and you start screaming and yelling at me at the top your voice, pounding the table and throwing things across the room to talk to me about the following say excuse me.

Excuse me, I'm the one talking calmly I'm the one speaking graciously on the woman, self-controlled, and you're the one screaming, yelling and your accuse me of anger that I would be a pretty strange picture with not in the same way if I tell a gay couple hey think she truly care for each other and I imagine that that you find people in many ways, and you may be hard-working, maybe great neighbors, but I believe God made man to be with a man and that's why don't recognize this is as marriage if someone tried to hurt tried stand in their way.

If you are my neighbor right to treat you like a neighbor hoped would be the best name you've ever had, but I recognize this as marriage is something personal and and and and that gay couple and start screaming at me and and wishing on me that I died of every kind of disease and slow torment in agony and screaming and yelling at me in and wanted to curse me and my family and and telling me I'm full of hatred, Jesus ha ha ha ha ha those Alonso hatred your expressing a moral and religious differences. They're the ones full of hatred and so the ones again who claim to be tolerant are utterly absolutely and tolerant anti-diversity and aunt D open dialogue and exchange.

No, those who came out of the closet want to put us in the closet now back up and give you a little history on this gospel based world cultural revolution that I believe my came to faith in 1971, of the church right came to meet the Lord taught a pretrip rapture. And with that taught that the society was all going down that everything was collapsing that we were in the last days the things were getting worse. So obviously, one sees many people get saved as possible and then rally here very soon is no sense looking long term to change things so it would be like this. You get the terrible diagnosis of someone that you dearly love get the terrible diagnosis that that they got an inoperable tumor and they've got maybe three months to live and that's all boring divine intervention in America and you just sense in your heart. It's it's over. And so what you do is is you don't rush them all around the world, getting all types of exotic medical treatments and you you just try to enjoy the last months, you have together because can be over soon and you do your best to help that person die comforted him to start a total secular approach that not putting faith into this at all just give you an analogy will that's that's the state of the society is going down its inoperable in that respect, there's nothing you can do to change it. It's only going to get worse until Jesus comes.

So live your life.

Try to keep yourself from being polluted by the world and with as many people to Lord as possible and that's that.

That would've been the mentality you have one night when I came to faith and even though I didn't necessarily think it through in terms of all the societal implications ring think a lot about society at that point as much is just how evil everything was in its win as many people towards we can if I had thought it through, I would've basically had a view of of fatalism. It's is nothing you can do is over.

Right. So so as the years went on, God began to bird my heart deeply for revival. As I read about past revivals as I read the Scriptures and so we got it done in the past. It created a tremendous desire in my heart to see God move again. Why not, when you read about awakenings in the past in American history. Things were very dire things are very dark things were were very difficult things were such that you had the feeling that there was it was over the church.

It's in its best days the nation seen its best days and was over. That's how dark things got. And then God put our spirit mightily and change things dramatically and and the great awakenings say of the of the 1700s and 1800s in America that they greatly shifted the direction of our nation. God began to put within the a promise that I would see a revival that I would see an outpouring that I be right in the middle of the leader right on the front lines of it and sure enough, God allowed me to serve as a leader in the browser revival from 1996 to 2000 began 95 and God: before the team and 96 race of the ministry school that remains to this day I do that revival omissions movement was birthed among many other things and and that continues to grow in touch.

People around the world replanted schools around the world that same fire of passion for God desired when the loss to make a difference for the hurting and the poor that burns bright now over 20 years later by God's grace and in the midst of that outpouring in the midst of that revival as people come from around the world literally with the hundred 30 nations to a church building in Pensacola literally getting online at six in the morning for the doors to open six at night for the service to begin at seven at night, that with Engel past midnight or one in the morning, night after night after night for years. A couple nights off each week and then back to more services of this extraordinary move that we are part of where the schools were impacted with the superintendent of schools told me in the fall of 97 that the schools had been powerfully impacted in Escambia County by the revival that broke out there in Pensacola in the midst of that God began to raise up in my heart a vision of a gospel based moral and cultural revolution of God so touching the church of America that we would touch the nation of God, so shaking the church of America that we would shake the nation in the midst of God beginning to speak to me about this in the late 90s I began to journal more and more that he wanted to be a me to be a voice to be voice on national talk radio and here we are now 8 1/2 years on daily talk radio is your voice in all cultures, revolution for many reasons. I believe that we will see a gospel pushback explain more of her plan and Expo light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown friends understand the great commission to be a revolutionary commission when Jesus is all authority in heaven and earth is given to me.

Matthew 28, 18, and then says go therefore and make disciples of the nation. What is that look like is that not revolutionary whether it means disciple whole nations with the means make disciples of people with in the nations is that not revolutionary. What if you went to a country that was full of idolatry, full of immorality full of injustice, full of murder, full of corruption full of all types of perversion and the gospel began to penetrate that culture and people began to come to faith people on the streets came to faith government leaders came to faith business people came to faith. People and media came to faith X over a period of say 30 years, 25% of that nation was truly born again with the nation look different. Should the nation look different. What was 40% of the country that was truly born again. Could it possibly continue to go the way it was going. If these people truly came to faith or walk with the Lord.

Obviously not. So in the same way here in America where you have multiplied tens of millions of professing followers of Jesus. If we simply started to live out our faith.

This will ever revolutionary impact on the culture revolution is radical, dramatic, sweeping change revolution is out with the old and in with the new S revolution as most earthly revolutions are violent, most earthly revolutions replace one bad system with another bad system to Jesus revolution brings the advancing of the kingdom of God right not the final manifestation that happens when Jesus returns, but the advancing of the kingdom of God through the preaching of the gospel and the living of the gospel settings. This free causing God's light to shine into dark places.

Then at the end of the age, Jesus will return and set up his kingdom on the earth. That's all will have a perfect world the a perfect kingdom as much as we can have with human beings.

In this role before the final eternal state. That's what's gonna happen.

We are not trying to impose the kingdom. Now we are not trying to take over in that respect, but is farcical seven mountainous theology the go bright. Lauren Cunningham of of campus Crusade and you to the mission came to independently of the same common spaces and look you get different areas of culture get the media that the world of education right you. You've you've got the economic what you got these different mountains and culture and if you really going to make an impact that we have to make an impact in each of these so which is better the way our campuses are today or the way our campuses were 200 years ago when they had the fear of God on them and they operated by biblical principles which is which is better, which is better when divorce was exceedingly rare in America or where no-fault divorce is the rule of the day and where people live, get out of wedlock is the rule of that which which is better, which is better kids being raised by mom and dad are kids being raised by her mom that in the 100 that is witches which is better, which is better that the great majority of women were virgins when they got married, or only a tiny percentage of women virgins. When I got my witches which is better, and on and on. The list goes what I see is simply this, we must have revival in the church. This cannot be done by human strength alone. We must have revival in the church we pray, we cry out for fresh visitation in our own lives in a local church communities in our cities and our denominations. We cry out for God to visit for revival for awakening. We stir our hearts we we we look to the Lord friends go to my website as Dr. Brown.org there are sermons you can listen to that will stir your heart for revival and ignite fresh fire within you. There there to bless you and minister to you and help you all right.

We pray for revival in the church and then we seek to live out our faith with a radical serious commitment, not a convenience commitment not not a what's in it for me commitment, but her real following of Jesus in New Testament terms, whatever the cost.

Whatever the consequence here I am, send me the way her brothers and sisters are forced to live in other parts the world, we choose to live in this part of the world with his little knife to her throat but there's all because of temptation and robust carnality right there at our throat literally at her throat. That's another subject, and then we live out our values we live out our values. We raise our kids to live out their values so that as the generation goes on. The tide begins to turn people begin to see that there's a better way people begin to repudiate that the sexual anarchy of our society. They begin to repudiate the extreme intolerance of the radical left. They begin to repudiate the the broken down version of the family. They begin to repudiate the war on gender because they see where things go they see the trajectory they see you. I don't like the way things are going there for More stable families and if and if we could be less promiscuous and if we can be more God-fearing, it would be better friends. Just as things have shifted in the wrong direction and otherwise there's been a shift in the right direction. In the midst of the anarchy and chaos in the society we have taken steps against things like segregation we have taken steps against inequality for women. We have taken steps to recognize the evil of abortion. This is happened is well and and there is even a pushback against some of the most extreme aspects of LGBT activism. This certainly a pushback against the extreme, politically correct culture. You, the vote for Trump will be like Donald Trump are not, what part of that part of that was a pushback against the wrong direction which things are going friends. I truly believe that we will see a pushback and that things that are celebrated today will not be celebrated tomorrow or are not universally know when I can have a perfect world know when I can take over, but I believe that will see change, because God's ways are best in God's ways are life, human beings are still human beings, no matter how radicalized they are there still human beings with hurts and needs and pains still human beings with aspirations and dreams and ultimately only in God can we find out our true purpose and destiny. So I believe I believe that we will see a gospel baseball and culture revolution and it is my goal to be your voice to help articulate the issues to help articulate our biblical convictions to help articulate how we respond to the world help articulate what's wrong with the way things are going to point us in a way that is right. If you believe in what were doing, pray for us. Please pray for us, for God to amplify this voice to get out more loudly and clearly across the nation.

Pray for us share the broadcasts with others. If you're able to become a monthly support are part of our support team do it be a torchbearer. We want to. So back to you some special resources that will bless you and really stir your heart for awakening and revival. Trust me, you'll be blessed and edify. It's our way of thanking you should become a tortured spot.

It's all there right on the homepage on the line of fire.Ward see clearly together friends together making a difference. Jesus is risen all authority in heaven and earth. This is no room for what's happened in Canada is disturbing or yes it's in the name of prohibiting hate speech. But it really prohibits free-speech stage for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown in the last few years.

I sat with top leaders in different countries in Asia just think 123 countries in Asia and then leaders in Europe couple different nations in Europe and I brought them a message saying please learn from America's mistakes please learn from what we have done wrong. Please learn from our errors so you don't repeat them.

This is Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution 866-34-TRUTH 7841 the same way. Sometimes we can look at other countries. We can look at what's happened in Canada and we can say let's learn from what happened in Canada. Let's not repeat the same mistakes. Let us learn from their errors, but is not repeat them.

The same with other countries. We sometimes see what's happened in another country we see the trajectory we see the direction based on that we say okay let's not go on the same direction. So things are happening in Canada right now we need to focus on that just because we care about our neighbor to the north, but because we care about America, we could easily go the same wrong direction.

So shortly I'm going to bring on Andrew Lawton is an award-winning radio broadcaster, columnist, television person, television personality and public speaker is the host of the entry lot and show on AM 980 in London, Ontario and pundit on a variety of networks and stations across Canada and the United States.

In addition to his regular duties in London and you can also be heard from time to time as a guest post on Calgary's news talk 770, etc. different stations covering politics, entertainment and the cultural injuries attributed diverse range of notable people for man Coulter to the Backstreet Boys and beyond is columnist commentary and analysis commentary. Let's get this right is the calmest Comintern Allen analysis and published the process of national post absence of Washington Post along with other publications. Anchors could join us momentarily when you talk about what has happened in Canada with Bill M. 103 this is a bill to fight Islamic phobia. This is a bill to make it illegal to criticize Islam in certain ways and opponents of the bill say this is this is just an attack on free speech and in Canada ready had strict hate laws and how much of a problem was Islamic phobia.

Anyway, we want to discuss this. It's important subject and obviously it has relevance for us here in America to get a bunch of other things I want to talk to about but we come back I'm going to speak with Andrew Lawton about this. This bill passed last month. We talked about some on the air, but we wanted to bring Andrew on this is the earliest we were able to schedule him to get his input friends, freedom of speech is one of the great values that we hold to America and it doesn't mean we like everything that someone says but in the last there is a an absolute danger to that speech. In other words by my words. I am literally encouraging people and inciting them to go out and hurt other people so that my words are are now potentially dangerous words in terms of someone's going to hear my directive and I'm directing people go and do this commit these atrocities into the people that like it or not free-speech like what you said and I collect criticism as part of free-speech B9 Canada file line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown regular Canadian Trudeau did not expect that this can be such a radical shift latest� Harper was in for nine years and now let's have a little bit of a change know this is completely different.

This is a 180� turn. That's the voice of one of the protesters speaking against the bill. M103 last month in Canada.

We covered that Andrew Lawton. I introduced him a moment ago in the last segment Andrew Lawton wrote on the Washington Post.

Canada's Parliament wants to fight Islamic phobia by killing free-speech and is Al Jazeera reports it. This nonbinding motion. This is Bill or act. M103 task Canadian government was study to develop ways to address racism and discrimination is let's sort out what's actually going on. Andrew welcome to want to fire thank you much for joining us. Dear Michael, thank you for the invitation Andrew as an American, looking up at Canada and visiting there fairly often. It seems that Canadians are bit less aggressive than Americans and and less prone to some of the extreme positions you might find in America, but this is their big problem with Islamic phobia in your country. No wonder he is the problem with liberal media outlets, and liberal politicians, manufacturing and llama phobia. Often times, one of the big things and we see this with the American left as well but but in Canada in particular is that every single issue that happens is forced into the victim, oppressor narrative fan and we've seen that where are a lot of stories, including one in my town of London Ontario have been reported in the llama phobic and then you find out later on that in some cases the inflammable begins and it was manufactured or in other cases, the motivation was different then is llama phobic hatred but often times there is no follow-up that expresses that right so you get a skewed impression from the median that we have to do something about this terrible problem here. What about hate speech laws that are ready on the books in Canada how far they go beyond the actual criminal code in Canada has a very high threshold for what constitutes hate speech and that means you must be essentially threatening someone or threatening genocide for it to be a hate speech is an initiative, but we have underneath the criminal level and national network of human rights commissions and human rights codes and enemies are a fair bit more liberally and in nature. I mean, we had up until a few years ago a provision that actually allowed the government to prosecute anyone who was doing Internet hate speech and they went after bloggers. They went after Mark Stein, who are a lot of American radio listeners will be very, very familiar with and other people for for saying things that were deemed to be offensive in those cases toward Muslims yeah and Heinlein on the broader level into the James Dobson's broadcast with used to be was Focus on the Family with the Christian broadcast when he was dealing with LGBT issues many years ago before the tea was even there.

Disc homosexual issues some decades back that when they broadcast in Canada. They had to remove some of the content because it wasn't in a be acceptable. So in that sense there. There is been even less freedom of speech already in Canada and it went.

What then motivated this. This move is it just the liberalism of Trudeau was that the attack in the mosque in Qu�bec. What what's happened well and it would actually put forward before the attack and the mosque in Qu�bec but that attack did give a lot more political capital to it so it made it very difficult for a lot of people to stand up and criticized for photo Justin Trudeau liberal have a majority there was never any doubt that the issue is going to pass. I think it was that they wanted a wedge issue that they could paint anyone in opposition to either a bigot and that's precisely what they did on this because in the actual motion itself. In M. 103. II have the full text in front of me. It says we need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear.

There've been a couple of studies in the past couple years but it looked at hate motivated attacks hate motivated biases, even vandalism in Canada and the actual rise we see is not in anti-Islamic attacks, but in anti-Semitism we had bomb threats on Jewish community centers as recently of that about a month ago and that the increase. That's where were seeing it. I'm not proposing we proposed are not proposing the government put forward an anti-I anti-salmon to the motion, but if we are to have an honest discussion about where the bigotry is that where we have to have it yet. There there is some of the reports of the leading universities, even in Toronto where there there were very extreme anti-Semitic comments. Student leaders that that held to these those that want to push the BDS boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel and this is just this is just the norm. This was okay. What why is it that I am what's what's going on. Why is it that you can have real genuine hate speech and even incidents of vandalism and things like that that are anti-Semitic and content and that well. It's disturbing, but you like in a passive motion to try to deal with it.

But when it comes to Islam. There's this hypersensitivity. It does make sense to hypersensitivity. It goes further than that, I mean Muslims of generally speaking, become the chosen victim group I Muslims and the LGBT community.

The ultimate irony is that this is leader to groups that typically don't get along. Both of them are generally held up by the laughter as sort of the model victims and and I can give you an example, when there was vandalism of a mosque in Peterborough, Ontario, which is smaller city two years ago, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to the monarchy, hopped on a plane went there and he gave a lecture about the dangers of your hatred and division well where was that the port of the Jewish community when there was a swastika. I spray painted on the wall of one a few weeks ago where was the support of the Jewish community. When an email and Montr�al got up and gave a lecture calling for death of the accursed Jews. Where was all of this when we teaming anti-Semitic attack. It hasn't existed right in and you are talking about extreme speech, say from an Islamic leader read those quotes is as well.

Now with this motion, and 103 can you get on your radio show in London Ontario and speak freely about this can get it if Isis commits an atrocity if if there is a radical mosque in your city or country.

Can you freely speak against these things are the repercussions.

Yes I can, and legally legally I cannot mean as far as sort of a cultural reaction that's another issue altogether. Here's where people need to understand the nature of M, 103, so it is not a bill that has the binding force of law as centering criticism of Muslims, but what it does do is it commits the government to tackling this because one of the provisions of it was in the text of the motion. A whole of government approach. A whole of government approach to curbing Islamic phobia and this process got underway about a week ago the Parliament commission a committee to start looking into that and what the bigger concern is is what that committee will recommend because we've already heard from one of the stakeholders on this that they are not going to exclude radical Muslim voices. One of the groups, the national Council of Canadian Muslim has called for mandatory anti-Islamic phobia education in public schools, they're going to have the right to weigh in on it so my concern is that the government has started something with that. This is not the be-all and end-all. They started what they want to be a top down reform of how is Lamb is discussed in Canada and as far as the Islamic presence in Canada. What percentage of it if you can quantify this. It is his radical or or 99% of Muslims in the country so far from radical so so against the the Muslim extremism that blows people up and things like that that that even any association with that is is wrong and unfair to them or or is there a growing radical element within the nation. There certainly is a growing radical element I know of a number of cases where there have been young people.

Young Muslim boys men that have been recruited in and taken up arms for rights of some of which have gone over there are security agency actually had a report a couple years ago that was looking at about 150 people that are overseas that of thought.

For Isis, some of which have returned and haven't been charged with any crime. I don't have a breakdown. But what I can tell you is that our so-called moderate mainstream Muslim organizations have a lot of radical views. One of the biggest the Muslim Association of Canada has on its website on its website is in plain sight support of the founder of the Muslim brotherhood-athon. Al Bana and Al Bana who has found in the brotherhood which is committed numerous terrorist attacks around the world also called for support of what Hitler was trying to do with eradication of the Jews. Another so-called mainstream moderate Muslim group, the national Council of Canadian Muslim used to be called care can it with the Canadian chapter of care in the US which are very very familiar with its abuse and its overseas connection so I don't know if our individual Muslims go how many number radicals, but if you're looking at be moderate or so-called moderate group as having direct ties to Muslim brotherhood to Hamas in some cases.

I have a lot of skepticism that there is going to be a president of the moderate genuinely moderate voices in any national discussions about it. Then the other question is, how come these so-called moderate voices don't work out the extremists. How come they are not working with intelligence. For the most part it's in England. This hardly happens out the extremists you have more in common with them than with the liberal secular culture.

I've got a few more minutes with Andrew Lawton on the inside of the break. Her plan by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown already have a boss that hate laws in Canada. In fact, some of them are a little overzealous as they are Canadian citizens are very well protected again voice of the voice of a protester last month. Speaking against the motion. M103, allegedly to prevent and cut down on Islamic phobia speaking with Andrew Lawton, Andrew, just a larger question here in America we had the surprising shift with Donald Trump being voted in as a conservative candidate's surprise conservative and common anti-establishment guy, but certainly a pushback against some of the radical liberalism of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in Canada. You had Stephen Harper is a great friend of Israel in a most particular friends of Israel in the world and you swing in the way of Justin Trudeau. Can you explain what happened on a national level in your country.

I think in a lot of ways it was a similar narrative not ideologically similar but similar to what we saw in the US with the move towards Donald Trump and again I'm not talking about the ideological swing here, but it was that a resistance against the status quo.

So Stephen Harper had been in power from 2006 until 2015. Now that's almost 10 years, which in Canadian terms is a very long time because he had won the election in 2006 in 2008 and again in 2011 so three elections he had one, and in a lot of cases. There was just a level of fatigue about it.

People just wanted change.

And it happened with the level of regularity in Canadian politics is not an uncommon example, but then you get this new fresh face whose dad was a prime minister back in the 60s and 70s very ideologically left and and it was that throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I think yeah and I think that's good inside again watching from from some of the distance here. Are you surprised though with the way to go has gone or is this exactly what we should've expected. I'm not surprised at all, and in many ways he's doing exactly what he promised he would do a I mean the issues he's decided to tackle our issues like legalizing marijuana like making Canada more of a porch with peacekeeping instead of having a robust military. These are things that committee promised unelectable we can give them some credit for making good on on what he said he was going to do, but I don't take solace in that given that these are fairly dangerous things for a country you absolutely right. So just back to the bill. The motion M103 in your editorial. You mention what happened to Mark Stein, you mentioned what happened to Ezra Lavon's. I don't think most Americans are familiar with Ezra Lavon's and rebel media about what happened even though ultimately Stein and Lavon emerged victorious when you have to go through a brutal process and court hearings in fees and that alone is is punishment if you say but what happened to Ezra Lavon over free speech issues so both of them actually Ezra and Mark Stein had very similar trajectories to what happened was the per Ezra Ezra Levant. He was the editor of a magazine called the Washington earth for the Western standard and he published in 2006, the famous Mohammed cartoons the yelling Poston Mohammed cartoons from Denmark. Mitchell mocked the Islamic prophet, and he published it because no one else in Canadian media had published it. Everyone knew there was a controversy, but again, this was before Twitter. This was before you could just pull up an image online is easily so he ran these images Muslim groups came up and said this is offensive bits of discriminatory.

They tried to get him criminally prosecuted, but he didn't break any criminal laws. So instead they went to the Canadian human rights commission. This is what I was telling you about earlier, which allows for some criminal prosecution and it doesn't come with the legal protections that you have in court. You're not innocent until proven guilty.

You don't have a right to a legal defense necessarily. So what happened is this cost them letting with about $150,000 in legal fees dragged on for years, even though he emerged as the winner. At the end of it. This is not a process that you are allowed to have the protections of the criminal justice system very similar to Mark Stein no market, Ezra. They've got the willpower and the audience to fight this a lot of people to human rights commissions of gone after, don't have yeah and and then. Even so, it is it is a terrible drain and it's it's something that people should not have to go through. There should be some type of protection on the whites, such as folks like then the you you mention Toronto Sun columnist Tarik Fontana who said that the anti-Islamic phobia motions will target moderate Muslims like himself. So even some Muslims were not happy with this. No, I mean character taught is one silly man, sir a radial. Rather, these are three very well-known voices in the Canadian Muslim community who are our moderate Muslims. They believe in and need to reform is lamp they criticize sharia law.

They criticized the cabinet, they criticize the Muslim brotherhood infiltration of Canada and they are oddly enough lambasted is llama phobic for doing it.

And their concern is that this approach to llama phobia will actually stifle necessary discussions about Islam which are actually being driven by moderate Muslims yeah and certain certainly the warnings are here. People need to listen.

It's not that Islam is about to take over Canada, but it it it is amazing how a minority like this can end up being viewed as the victim that need special protection.

Of course we renounce that what happened at the mosque in Qu�bec and if this is violence or hatred cited against Muslims of course resent against but that's that's just not the norm for dealing with silt from your vantage point Canada if you could speak to us here in America. As you are doing now what word of wisdom or warning. Might you give us the biggest thing is that the Constitution is not enough of a protection for free speech we have in Canada. The Constitution guarantees freedom of expression. Now it's not as robust a defense of the American First Amendment is but that protection in the Constitution doesn't matter when you have a culture that doesn't recognize free speech. When you have a culture that doesn't recognize there is a valid criticism of any group. And this is what we see in the US you got a First Amendment but tell people that are being punched in the face at Berkeley that they have a right to free speech. Tell professors that are being threatened with dismissal to help people in the media who lose their jobs because they mention an unpopular opinion. They have a First Amendment protection of free speech, but culturally there's this attitude that censorship is where we need to go as a society and this is why we need to respond not with a legal change but respond with a cultural renewal to free-speech cadets or so sorely lacking.

Yeah, absolutely. Well said, well articulated, but working folks follow you work and you a better place it on twitter at Andrew Lawton and that's the way to get in touch with me for any of the other projects I'm working on. Also, I thanks so much for joining us. Much appreciated. Thanks a lot Michael really appreciate it.

All right, so what I find very interesting friends. When I find very interesting is where he ended because I spent the first hour of the broadcasts over the hour before you join me for the second hour talking about gospel baseball and cultural revolution talking about the state of things in America the degree that there messed up the degree the things need to change. We spent a decent amount of time time at college campuses and restriction of freedoms. They are the intolerance of the so-called tolerant and the need for gospel baseball and cultural revolution and Andrew to my pleasant surprise and ends as I had time to ask that last general question with the call to cultural renewal gonna be what were about what I believe and through the gospel that would be my unique perspective to add to that that ultimately must happen through the gospel will be right back.

It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 664 through here again is Dr. Michael Brown. I spoke yesterday about the church in Egypt in the midst of persecution.

A bishop in Egypt just days after more than 40 of his parishioners were slaughtered.

These were Coptic Christians slaughtered by Islamic terrorists. He got up with a message of love and forgiveness is extraordinary to listen to and we we quoted some of it on the air but it is not just in Egypt, the Christians have been taught to forgive. It's here in America, this is Michael Brown you're listening to the line of fire your voice of moral insanity and spiritual clarity in the midst of a society and cast in the church.

All too often, and compromise. You may have heard about the Facebook killer a man posted video on Facebook Cleveland just gone off the deep and goes out and randomly shoots and kills and an older man man in his 70s just a stranger on the street shoots and kills him, and then talks about killing all these others and ends up being apprehended today. Police stopped him.

A traffic stop and he killed himself before he could be brought in. That's a whole other subject I may get to address later in the show but his family. The family of the man that was killed there. This indiscriminately murdered by some angry demented person. Think of this. Think of the ugliness of it. Think of the harvest that your dad that your grandfather someone close to you listen to what some of the family had to say about this thing that will take away most of my father if he thought enough about God how to fear God how to love God and how to think he is and each one of us to give the killer murderer. We want to wrap our arms around you honestly can say right now that I hold no city again in my heart against this man friends that's remarkable.

That's the power of the gospel is about justice.

Justice wasn't the issue here. If that man a bit apprehended. Of course go to jail.

This of the issue.

Maybe have some defensive insanity plea.

But either way he he would be taken off the streets.

That's not the issue.

The issue is the response from the heart and in these people with that this man is a is a sinner in need of redemption and that friends that's a testimony of a deposit that Jesus makes in lives that it is just it's just absolutely remarkable it is. It is a something that the world looks at and they can't fathom the world looks at it and they they can understand it, the world looks at it and they know most things are so wrong with people like that. But how, how else do you use this PI look in there. I was speaking from the heart, not just manufacture those words, the fact that they feel love them's the pity the man that did it. They look at this man is a victim of his own Santa victim of his own evil a victim of his own madness or whatever the situation is in need of redemption and obviously took his own life before he could meet these people and face them or hear the gospel from them, but it's not just in Egypt where the Coptic Christians forgiving the murderers, the wife of one of the victims suggest the killers need to turn themselves and there is justice there are laws, but she for gave that's remarkable that supernatural in here in America we have people say hey this mother for my dad's we learn from was fear of God love of God and to forgive. We put our arms around this man that killed murdered her father that supernatural like that.

The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 8663 here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Looking back, friends to go on far this is Michael Brown, joyfully sharing truth with you today, the ultimate truth is America needs a gospel based moral and cultural revolution that can only spring out of a revived church and a fresh encounter with God. One look at some larger issues today a different James Robison is able to join us. Most Tuesdays at this time it's a joy to work together with him daily basis on the stream stream.org. If you're looking for cutting-edge articles dealing with Key Issues Taking Pl. in America and the world, not just the news but a kingdom perspective, godly perspective and wisdom on these things will find no better website than the stream stream.org James as always a joy to have you.

Thanks much for taking time to be with us today. Always a joy to be with you Michael and continuing current wisdom and insight close really from your heart to ours and thank you for your faithfulness and all other continual flow of transforming through sheer will. Might my privilege and honor for sure. I I've been surprised James by some of the attacks on Donald Trump when he bombed Syria and then is basically telling North Korea don't do something crazy and people are saying, look, we voted for the president United States, not the president of the world we want America first and of course I agree with America first.

Every national leader has to focus first and foremost on their own country, but just America first made America only does the world need America's presence or how should we sort this out where we been commanded to love God with all our heart so much of the wall truth into simple statements and nimble secular believers are set out here in Tyler all worked out so powering them to statements or spike about that we can love others right we don't allow ourselves part of ourselves will put God first, we don't understand how to keep everything in the right perspective, we have an idol in place of God or something between us and God, we direct imperfect demand. Yet many others now came perfect wants to start with 20 detectives a starting point.

Now if in fact we love our nation is that means we want to protect our shores like we protect our fair were not going allow pedophiles to work in city parks while children are part were not going to have a crack house 4 ounces down in our supplication were not going to have a prostitution house and that's the way you protect it. So it's like protecting the fertile fields from the base of the field, encumber priors, jump out the productivity so it's pretty simple to realize we have to look out for ourselves with personal interest at the same rate it weekly growing we succeed even in the premarket errors you have never legitimate self-interest about it totally selfish consuming it. I want you care about your own borders your own site joints.

You deftly look at your neighbors around the world.

And when you can see atrocities being committed. The world remained silent while Hitler was March the Holocaust was provided all hair somewhere people understood freedom of the Stamper bike.there were people who get right now we have a president exactly sales United Nations all of our allies.

We American people are not longer line of the site you cross the it was a very simple act, but it said something very loudly, like when Reagan set to air traffic controller come back to work but you don't have a job. Sure enough they did they learn that this my iniquities said he knew I say being controlled about very important principles. I think that's what this president is that they keep saying intervening nation the world will disrupt the peace of the world to put your neighbor neighbor a great grasp. Someone has to say and I think the American people understand the preciousness of freedom appreciate the fact that we will in fact draw a line of and I think he started. I think you standing up.

And frankly, I think it's been amazing the way in which he's been able to assert himself and for Christians who don't understand right you emphasized over and over, Michael, how about let's do it.

Let's pray for wisdom. I was amazed at the wisdom and the clarity with which the president spoke after the attack in Syria by using his references to wisdom of my discrepancies to God and nonreligious sounding terms images by wiping sitting living in talking to him and praying with and even helping right some of the script, top out about but when you spent a year talking to someone any associate wisdom and you try to emphasize a worship of God in a relationship with God without religious additional sounding terms that in so many ways quench the very spirit of God and disturb our Savior and our father thought he did an amazing job and obviously with this name (correct garrison. Let's play for map of these leaders and pray that God gives man the wisdom to know exactly what to do when to do it because I'm Michael we are sitting on a product.

Right now, and if we ever needed the sheriff in shadow and will be all my smile. What time is to take in what way will when you got so much rage being start continue to write and respect. She how to manage assault, but you don't want what the point is we can every body that says anything. Our target for every radical extremist on the planet.

Stand up for truth and you deliver the truth in love with deep conviction, but with prevailing compassion, but the whole world. Right now the panic. This man could set the world rushed back to Syrian president except the Middle East on par we've got pray for a miraculous intervention of God with power is needed militarily or whatever is done precisely perfectly as perfectly as it can be done to eliminate the collapse of the bridge to freedom of the world we got in buddy, I'm just telling we've got to have the wisdom of God have a bunch of bright thinkers work our way through this maze in this malaise.

We got to that were going to have to have divine intervention divine guidance when the map capitalism that you mentioned Secretary of State Tiller since I read an article about how his stock seems to be rising in the comfort ministrations a president Trump seems to trust him more and how Rick Stilson tries to do things more behind the scenes rather than to make himself the center of it. II know in times past that you been able to speak into his life and in godly ways. What's your take on what Secretary of State Tilson is doing in and are you do believe that you been able to have input in him as well, nobody could ever Savior more graciously and with real sense of gratitude and humility enhanced from industry I know is his heart that he has been given a great honor to be able to serve his country right now critical time in history. I think he realized I think he realizes that this is something to do with buying test and I I got the sense when we were talking about the opportunity what he was really wondering what we get it and I was communicating with the president and with him as we just simply talk about it.

I think that he realized that he had spent his life using a string in the premarket arena that generated a tremendous amount of energy in motion, opportunity for a lot of people but also met a lot of people's needs are and others around the world. But now he was on your takeback top, and really, because he had to give up a lot.

It could have been.

Here's an article into this place and it was like nothing that he felt like he was stepping into a place that was more important than you ever got I can't tell you how pleased I am just watching about electricity or humble demeanor, and yet strong character of steadfastness is unshakable, unflappable, I think we just put on prayer around. I mean we just really put a shield of God around this man. His family and pray for God to just bloodier, but divine insight. I appreciate that. And you know James, it's so important for our listeners and for those who watch a TV show that we got a step back from what were being fed constantly by secular media. We got it. Step back from what the world is telling us about so many issues because otherwise we just be worked up into a frenzy.

We need to get away and get before God get to the throne of God, the source of all power and wisdom, and pray for these leaders and and I appreciate you constantly drawing our attention to do that to my memory talking to the greatest man in America will bring about an hour parking lot. It was going to lose ever going to just stand by the convictions regarding what a humble man who believes that generosity joy of giving is one of the greatest joys in life.

I will also be talking to Millie Giglio blessing years with passion only pricing search there in Atlanta, but also working with University College students he's going to be there at least two man from two different focal points really pointing to the coercive power of the gospel.

You just reference when you introduced me the transforming power of the gospel in our tenure. Michael people are not going to believe that gospel. If the mile able to see how much it affects our own lives. God bless you. The Lord be with you tonight.

Thanks again for your time in the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice important cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown when looking at the national level.

Praying for president Trump praying for the cabinet, praying for Congress praying for the Supreme Court, those big things and every prayer we pray records of the will of God is heard by her father, but it's the kind of thing where you might pray for years, and then gradually see the kind of changes you want to see, but that's another we keep doing something that we keep doing the persistent prayer we continue to cry out, we we pray.

Some of us, the Lord's prayer. Use it as a pattern can pray for our nation. In that regard as well. Lord, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven praying for something future were praying for something daily, but let me give you different picture right. Let's let's have a little different picture of for years. You have a child is very sick and all your finances are drained caring for the child and all your free time is drained caring for the child and it's it's different difficult for the siblings to you don't have enough time to engage in activities and taken place that need to be and things like that in and it's so voice is also at life's hard life very hard. It's very hard and then a cure is found in the child is healthy and you now have hours and hours and hours of time you have before you have a flow finances. You have before you need the atmosphere changes right that's just one person is terribly ill now getting healthy.

How the atmosphere changes. Right now it's the switch images switch images you have a high school football team and and you've got one kid that is jet. He's a store he's gifted that he's a prima donna and he selfish and he just listened to the coach and is and is underachieving and the team is in disarray and and and he ends up.

He ends up his family moves in somebody else moves in and this kid is equally gifted that this kid is is is equally athletic, but loves the coach loves authority is a great team leader. The whole team will change the record will change that. Just get rid of one bad apple and bring in a good apple right okay when it comes to that gospel think the same way when a drug dealer gets saved. That's can have an impact on the drug world. If enough drug dealers get saved will.

If enough pimps get saved. If enough sex traffickers get saved if if enough legislators get the fear of God. Political leaders get the fear of God. If teachers, school teachers, administrators, librarians have a change of heart and begin to embrace wholesome values and family values that that they didn't have baby. They were radical leftists. That's that's can make an impact.

Now America's big country were very diverse between the different states.

Geography is different the cultures different from one part of a country to another, and we've got over 330 million people were big, diverse country and yet change happens one person at a time and when we look at the great needs of America. We need to look at the micro and the macro we need to look at the small picture in the big picture and the small picture something everyone else. Every one of us can deal with right if if I myself am living an undisciplined lifestyle and I start to live a disciplined lifestyle, the subject can affect me. It's can affect people close to me if I myself would get decadent godless lifestyle, and I begin to live a godly lifestyle and and a wholesome lifestyle. This can affect Ms. can affect people around me and what happens with revival movements is enough people get changed enough people get transformed.

There is a ripple effect across the nation that God's people start living like God's people that that they start to honor the Lord in different ways that they start to reach out more effectively that the world sees how we are living as James Robison just said in they recognize the rightness of it may signal the sum you have that I need and and and the presence of God comes and brings with it it a holy fear in a holy reality when the words preach people struck in their impacted near the shaken these gospel truths friends and this happened in our history before revival awakening and moral cultural revolution. These are the kinds of things I'm praying for and believing for right one other note.

Sometimes people commit crimes because they want their moment of fame they they have other reasons but part of it is they want their names to go down in history will become famous as a serial killer that will become famous as is this horrific criminal everybody will know their names now. There's a reason that you may be watching a baseball game or football game and somebody announces out. We got some crazy person on the field and somebody running on the field.

Sometimes it takes to close off and was fully clothed. Generally speaking, you don't see that you consider at least years back when I still watch if it happened you can see why is it not give the person any attention. They didn't want to draw attention to them. They didn't want tell someone if you want to be on TV. If you want the whole nation talk about you. Here's what you do well now we have a new situation we are through social media. Every body can instantly get attention, and we've now had people putting on Facebook live rapes and beatings and and now a man posting a video in Cleveland. He posts a video and talks about his these loses lost it upset with his ex-girlfriend whenever any ghost just shoots an older man.

We play the clip at the beginning of this half hour of the family expressing forgiveness is before that murder killed himself when he was stopped by police. A traffic stop just what hours ago, but the point is if this was part of his thing. Everybody's gonna know my face revising the know my name is on the blaze of glory some demented thing like that. This begin to become a problem we see increasingly sum of killing themselves live media. This is happened and some people just wanting attention.

It was my saying my saying that with shuttle live media down though in your office I can have somebody able to watch every single thing that gets posted. When you got billions of people involved presented pray about God for the spirit of restraint on this because otherwise we see it more and more people in their moment in the sun, committing some horrific crime and having the ability to do it now without the news media.

Of course the news media not reporting on this because guys out there guys out there and they want to sound the warning look out for this guy. I understand that I understand of course.

So what I'm saying is we need to pray to pray for a spirit of restraint on evil. It's a good prayer included in your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven right friends, let us serve you and equip you and help you along with his radio broadcast, I write article several every week we put out cutting edge videos teaching videos cultural videos you won't be what's being taught on one college campus crazy crazy talk about a lease for the also is the pretrip rapture biblical talk about that on the video and recent articles of interest.
