Have you realize that what you believe about the end times can affect your outlook on life and ministry today. Is it healthy and unhealthy biblical or not stock 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 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown well so far on my twitter started less than an hour and go 89% 89% of those responding say it's an outrage. The FBI's recommendations regarding Hillary Clinton that her actions were careless, grossly negligent, careless but not criminal 3% say very fair 8% say the law is unclear.

89% say an outrage, this is Michael Brown.

Welcome to the line of fire. Thanks much for joining us today. The recall 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH 784 now if this was conservative talk radio, then this would be our only subject for the next two hours is all we be talking about Hillary Clinton is not being indicted or should say the FBI is not recommending that she be indicted to the Department of Justice and even if the FBI did recommend that she be indicted with the Department of Justice indict the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. I think not.

In any event, is this expected I would say yes is the degree of gross negligence involved understandable in terms of that's what we were given to expect. I would say the answer to that is yes and I say that it's a surprise that the FBI did to the logical thing and say okay if she was grossly negligent as Secretary of State.

If it's possible that sensitive information fell into hostile hands, then having intent to get into hostile hands or intent to potentially damage US security. That's not an issue. People are court-martialed for negligence and art of intent to work with the enemy. Gross negligence is very very serious in any area of life, especially with national security, Secretary of State, so I'm not going to get into a big discussion and I know some of you may want to vent and get your two cents output do it, whatever context you have and I'll leave it to other talk shows to talk this through in-depth but to me, yes, it seems that the law was rewritten or reinterpreted so as to not recommend her indictment. Of course she has not been exonerated. This is gross negligence.

And if I could not trust her judgment as Secretary of State, all the less.

What I trust her judgment as President of the United States. Candidly she's not an option. She's not a potential option in my mind for president so civil why why did you talk more about Donald Trump you been very negative and have grave concerns because I know that whether it's for sincere purposes or not. He's got a lot of solid evangelical leaders speaking into his life and perhaps he's listening. You say it's just for political purposes. Can't you see that that may be his only intent. It may be utterly insincere.

It may be completely duplicitous and may only be for the intent of getting evangelical votes. That's possible.

Sure, it's possible, or he may really think that he's a Christian and a champion of Christiansen. That's why he's doing this but wisely going after site the Catholic voters that he understands the importance of getting the evangelical vote, even if it's completely insincere. Only God knows that he is getting bombarded with the gospel from different angles. Perhaps he's listening and he's opening the door for wrist my knowledge, Hillary Clinton is not. In any case, I'm just to say this about the FBI in the situation and leave it here for now revisited, but it's fully expected and to me it is typical treatment expected for equipment in other words nothing to do with what's right and just the way things go on file line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown government over minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown. I summary FBI and hilly Clinton make this one last statement, this is Michael Brown listening to the line of fire 866-34-TRUTH the recall. But I want to call on the Hillary situation got another question I want to ask you. I gave a thought to do a major on this today. It is the major breaking news, but against me. It's those that differ with Hillary Clinton to give us a look at this.

There we go again corrupt legal system like indicted Clinton and Obama administrations. I can indict the Democratic candidate, etc. and those on the Siebel say seeds vindicated so I'll let others parse the details, but my brief statement by not recommending the indictment of Hillary. The FBI has indicted itself.

I just tweeted that out during the break I felt that's a good way to summarize my views by not recommending the indictment of Hillary.

The FBI has indicted it self. All right I am going to change gears. I want to talk about the end times. I want to talk about your view of the end times and how it affects your review of today how it affects the way you live today how it affects your outlook on life on family on ministry, how it affects your attitude how it affects your faith how it affects your expectation. I mean absolutely practical stuff I want to talk with you about today. The master broad question you believe based on your end time views maybe study this extensively maybe just always believed what you heard. The church we were saved, came to faith. Maybe just have a gut feeling overall you believe before Jesus returns.

The world will get better for the world will get worse. Or maybe a combination of things really bad in certain places really good and others are really bad in certain ways really good in others you believe that there will be steady, moral and spiritual decline before Jesus comes self-evident.

They look around the world just getting worse. That's clear to believe that or do you believe that through the influence of the gospel of the kingdom of God on the earth. God's people advancing his kingdom through preaching the gospel in doing his will that the world will get better before Jesus returns or do perhaps believe that before Jesus returns. There's going to be kind of a holy explosion in an unholy explosion. Are you expecting great revival or great apostasy. Or maybe a combination of both what you think.

866-34-TRUTH now you understand immediately where I'm going with this. This will affect your attitude today.

If you believe that Jesus is coming in your lifetime right you expect that Jesus is coming in your lifetime and you believe that things are only going to get worse before he comes. It's only logical to ask why try to stop the inevitable. For example, for example, if you knew that someone was going to die of cancer.

The doctors say they're going to die in six months and you yourself are convinced in your heart that they will not be healed right.

That's just how you feel then would you give yourself to intensive prayer and fasting for that person's you would want you. Would you give yourself to getting that person on a super healthy regime and okay working to change your whole diet and everything.

If you are convinced really did the six months. Dr. Sibley did in six months. The person says don't bother. I'm ready to meet the Lord in your gut. You know there's no hope what you give yourself to prayer and fasting crying out for their healing words you work with them.

Okay, let's see what we can do.

Maybe there is a mega health thing we can do them bombard your body with these healthy foods and so on and maybe some alternative treatment or maybe chemo can do something or is there surgery but if if everyone is resigned to that person dying. It's the inevitable. So in the same way if you were convinced that the ship, so to say is going to sink. Then you would not put time and effort into trying to write that ship you abandon the ship.

So in the same way. If you are convinced by Scripture that things are only going to get worse that were living in the last days that in these last days. Things will only get worse then okay forget. Try to change the culture.

Jesus talked about a great apostasy. Jesus talked about many being deceived. I mean, why, why even bother thinking about this.

Preach the gospel get as many people saved as we can focus on eternity right and not worry about social wars, the cultural wars abortions tragic but I can stop it redefining marriage tragic when I can stop that so many other things in our society. Just that's the way it is right. It be realistic except the inevitable that that certainly would call your attitude would you pray in faith, would you get involved in the voting process. Would you get Wasik in a school board in your schools or to turn the direction of children's education. If you think it's it's all going downhill.

It's only going to get worse. Would you conversely conversely if you were confident that the gospel will ultimately triumph in the earth. If you were confident that the great commission that literally making disciples of all the nations that the whole world will come to the knowledge of God and that that will usher in the millennial reign of Jesus that will usher in his kingdom. After which, he returns, then you would say hey it doesn't matter what's happening now to keep doing what's right. You keep standing for what's right and the tide will turn if not in our generation and the next generation.

Now I'm not not to please every just because one attitude is more pessimistic and the other is more optimistic doesn't mean that we adjuster and time suite is based on okay doesn't mean that we sell. This is better in Tiberias.

More optimistic.

None of the questions was Scriptures and others might say this bottom line, I don't know where we stand in the prophetic time chart. I don't know if Jesus is coming in my life, not maybe this is going to be a season of darkness within a season of great revival and then the final day, darkness. If Jesus comes in 100 years. Maybe this is the time for everything to get wonderful for a while and then it will get worse or get bad then better than the horse. In other words, even if you held to that type of eschatology say hey everything is going get worse before the end is just inevitable.

That's what Scripture plainly teaches in a minute withhold that understand versus they bring to state that you might still have this attitude.

I actually don't know where we stand.

I can't guarantee Jesus is coming in my lifetime, but this much I know there's a starving child I could help and help that starving child because that's what we do as followers of Jesus. There is an orphan that needs care only care for that are unclear what the eschatology is that's what we do. I see something wrong my children school system. I'm going to address it. Not because I'm sure things are to get better or I'm sure things are get worse but because I have a responsibility as a parent I would vote I believe we should stand with Israel. I want to vote for politician of strong on that regardless of when Jesus is coming or not what my eschatology is so that's another approach to it, but what I find often is an end time theology that we haven't really thought through carefully affects our thinking on a pretty serious level and because it affects our thinking on a pretty serious level. It affects her attitudes if it affects what we do and don't do it affects how we throw ourselves in, or don't throw ourselves. It so again I'm not saying that the attitude that we have is what determines the rightness or wrongness of our beliefs. I'm saying there are consequences to what we believe and the bigger issue would be what ever our theology is who can be so sure of exactly where we stand on the prophetic timeline. In other words, if I didn't know if a human being live to be 180 or 8161 if I don't know if I live to be 80 or hundred 80 if I can keep exercising be in good health and Psalm relatively hundred 80 I don't know if I knew I lived to be 80 that I have a certain more realistic expectation of the hundred 80 for the final awareness that one.

One thing I do know do the best you know how to do today do the best you know how to do in faith today.

All right for Liza Janssen as we come back. I want to go straight to your calls and get your perspective about the end times and how it affects you live and I will give you my practical thoughts on 866-34-TRUTH 784 hey friends, this is Michael Brown I would encourage you to join our support team today become a torchbearer.

Click on donate her 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 anytime and current attitude that's were talking 866-34-TRUTH my viewpoint on the FBI's announcement regarding Hillary Clinton.

A simple statement by not recommending the indictment of Henry Clinton FBI has indicted itself so if you're a dispensational list pretrip believer, then you would have in eschatology and in time.

That would be somewhat pessimistic that everything is going to get worse before Jesus returns and rescues us out and then seven years of great tribulation that the end of hell on earth.

Jesus returns if you're a classic premillennialist, your view would be somewhat more optimistic than that, perhaps, summarize this parallel extremes at the end of the age of parallel of light and darkness.

If you're in millennialist that there is no physical reign of Jesus on the earth that it's a spiritual reign the spiritual kingdom so millennial. No literal millennium on the earth. You have a negative eschatology that things will be getting worse.

Almost kind of a triumph of the antichrist at the end of darkness and in Jesus comes to establish Jesus returns.

And that's the man for eternity. Repulse millennialist, you have an eschatology of greater optimism that ultimately the gospel will triumph over the whole earth.

Men like Jonathan Edwards and Charles Finney. As I understand it, they believe that if they could see great revival come to America that that would help usher in the millennial kingdom question is what does God actually say in his word about the end times and how can we have an attitude to J that makes sense as children of God. So we go to the phones. I will start in Rockville, Maryland Jesse walking to the line of fire economy Dr. Brown, you bet I I love what you're saying. I think Mike that we have to start with why were here were here to be image to be conformed to speculative character. Here you are scholar dollar and all humility, you're saying you don't really know the anchor so I think that for the average layman. A lot of times we miss the forest for the trees and we forget that he came to not condemn, but to save the world, he made it but it was good that we have that kind of mind that wherever we go, the potential in people and things that and were knocking to draw forth the negative collective consciousness that I think will ultimately only hinder regardless of God's sovereign plan that Jesse I think those are there those words with real wisdom, not just practical but but biblically practical. I myself hold to historical historical pre-millennial viewpoint that I don't divide over the end times and work with folks with varied views. But if you want the bottom line. It Jesus in you, you being an ambassador for Jesus today. That's the issue that if Jesus is coming in six months or it in 600 years. If you encounter someone lost hurting neither the gospel if you encounter a situation where there is darkness. What do you do is is a mess. You bring life to bring hope the world could end in six months to go on for 600 years. That does not affect the fact that right there. It was a car accident and you're right there to help put that person in your car and race him to the hospital of. Here's a lost person that needs Jesus in your there bearing the image of God bring the image of God as an investment to bring that message you see social injustice. What you do is stare for what's right. So I believe Jesse that regardless of what our entire views are.

We must have that biblical pragmatism why we hear. What would Jesus do in this situation, and then we seek to be his hands, his feet, his voice in that regard.

Hey thank you Jesse for starting us off with practical wisdom, 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go to Randy in Edgewater, New Jersey. Welcome to the line of fire on go ahead. I've Dr. Brown, Rev. Randy hey man, are you rate your work now but your and your New Jersey. I was just looking of guile balcony about how Mario Goodman has your health been buddy, and I'm happy about public golf yeah how does your eyesight. What good but you still hanging in there out above all house has your relationship with the Lord well by Willie, the Lord is good and I love I love to talk about all number one dog lifestyle, whatever� Whatever. On the other day that they make the wrong wall all a national Park monument yeah I like like great God or not. I don't know. I can think that the abbreviated bank but in any event, I'm in it.the arm of God on the site. If you want to go on the bottom of the water bottle that hey Randall, just as you one thing you you struggled for years feeling you were condemned by God to to homosexual lifestyle you tried everything to get free. You felt condemned by God you thought you could receive forgiveness and we talked on the phone and and and you really believe that God could forgive and cleanse and that the biggest issue is your relationship with him.

How is your life been since then.

In terms of freedom in terms of wholeness of life, joy, satisfaction, how how things bed all over me don't want better now that I don't like night and day on my bike like a valid argument Albert.Burke did not know they have little pamphlet on our as though I got a hold of him and I bought a bottle and a productive valid and I am about to walk down to about a bottle water.

Are you really date that Donna and I did not not anybody that I was really all about baseball one and I don't know the time I have left I will be happy now. Now I'm I don't know what gave birth anymore. I don't know I don't get it done to date main by one of the non-held by your enjoying life barking up my dog this is Randy we we got a break, but stay right there. I want to touch on the other side. Great summer friends. If you're out of radio range was listed on the website asked Dr. Brown's. I will write it yourself and ask a year-round. 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 thanks for joining a fellow 586 time of the end times and how that affects what we do, how we live today of serenity, just out one more minute back to you in New Jersey. So your own view of things about the end is what all my how I believe. While I agree. But what burned the yard with a lot of ball. I like the I think of a lot of work at Bard Eichelberger about what brought before the Lord, that that I think of the Bob book the Bible out eight and I think I really don't do not, and a lot but I'm sorry, but I do think like the big know you not lapping out of an eye for weekly.

I am not date banging on the front of the population day.

I don't believe I've been on the pop-up and the best surveys would indicate 3% yeah why why I know over a day will of God like Obama, like we now live on all yet will it's it's it's something that we we draw attention to for years and obviously there's a disproportionate amount of gay presence say in in the media or in Hollywood so therefore the viewed sitcoms, be it movies these things are going to be ever present. Now the transgender political correctness so you got the I am Kate reality TV and there is a kid whose gender fluid to rev. This is all going to be celebrated so people are bombarded with that damn knife and then people taking the song as if it's the new civil rights cause as if this is Gaia's new black or transgender is the new black, and therefore America has to rally around this so all told, it's a number of things happening at the same time and it's an offshoot of the sexual revolution and the fundamental attack on biblical morals and values that let me let me ask you one question Randy since most of the used to go to a gay church but now you go Calvary Baptist. What's the difference in the preaching that you you heard in the gay church versus what you're hearing a Calvary Baptist all about problem number one I I I wear.

I thought I could know what that's okay. I don't know.

I don't know I will never know. I will not not gone our own fault. But uncle I would not like it was like, not what I want. I never get on the bodily. I don't know about the Bible you gave your not really a lot with the war. I don't know if it is not brought up about the Bible like Yen's 11 if we partake unworthily that they get sick or even die. But you 30 seconds you what you say though that the said to be a focus on us.

We gay people week where people the gay church but your different focus Calvary Baptist all law know a lot about Paul while I don't want talk about fun. While the yeah but as long a lot of people go on. Bob grandfather clause judgment. Judgment is coming which is why we flee the refuge for refuge in the blood of Jesus. Hey Randy, it's great to hear from you. I was thinking about you. Just a week or two ago so good to hear you moving forward let us thank you. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown in the line of fire now by calling 866 again is Dr. Michael Brown, 866337884 Michael Brown your friendly voice more cultural and spiritual revolution. Yesterday was July 4 and yeah I've ever read. For years we need a second American Revolution every three years that it's now or never for the church but things are more dire today than they were 10 or 20 or 30 years ago when the alarm was being sounded. I say we sound the alarm all the more clearly what an article yesterday for 4 July a wake-up call terms of our religious liberties being threatened like never before in our history. Please read the article. I think you'll find it important and some said it is me more positive. Critics need more positive what you listen to me enough you're going to get encourage you're going to get lifted, you get strengthened and everything are right, even if there's a wake-up call. There's there's always the hope that if we rise up and cry out to God.

Things can change in God can meet us responded and I said to this individual. You know, sounding the alarm is a positive thing to do, silently alarm that's that's a positive thing to do when when people are sleeping in the need to be awake and then I was of course try Dennis Dr. Brown is always positive.

What thank you, thank you. Course we know that, but sometimes we need to do that sometimes is what love does 866-34-TRUTH that let's go to Milwaukee, Wisconsin Michael, welcome to want to fire Dr. Brown so I consider appreciated. All I really like your just wondering when you were making up your opening statement segment hello what you said and pretty much we suck on Billboard thing argument against offer me all the Calvinist point of view, which I completely don't agree with all you and all of your future.

You know about future events are determined already going to happen. You can't do anything to upset it all. Why even try. Why do anything all but just like many colonists feel that way.

I have gone dust while I think you certainly there are calvinists who do feel that way that are complacent because of their views of predestination and their views of god's sovereignty and then of course there are others that have the exact opposite view and that's what fueled a lot of missions movements in the past and revival movements that people felt that they had been destined by god to tube to play a certain role that they had been the ones chosen by god to bring the gospel to certain part of the world. therefore, nothing was gonna stop them or that they know that there is a people that will respond to the gospel. therefore, they always preach with confidence and hope. i know for myself, michael.

when it was shifting a bit from enzyme theology to theology in general. but the five years i was a calvinist. something happened to me again i'm not indicting other calvinists. this was to have with me. i remember i was home studying one day so this is during my years in grad school at new york university and studying hebrew texts in ancient greece contacts and things like that and i i was sitting there thinking maybe i should take a break and go out and do some evangelism go share the gospel with some folks and things like that.

i thought i'll feel like it. i rather sit here and study and then i asked myself the question, do i believe that if god has predestined those people to salvation that one way or another whether i go share the gospel with them or not, that they will be saved in a sense myself. yes i said so then what's the loss if i don't go. i thought i guess i lose whatever reward would be associated with.

i thought that's fine they could say they get saved ugly lose my reward i will study and i thought okay that's a dangerous attitude that i analyzed it myself and i saw it as such and i just want to say it happened to me.

i don't want to speak for any other calvinists i just was.

it happened to me. but if we look michael with the larger question. if we believe that say everything is getting worse.

if we believe that anytime we see a negative trend in the church.

this must be the final great apostasy. if we believe that is we see negative things in our society around us.

well this just proves that the bible is true and everything is getting worse. it will affect our attitude that mi got a combat error.

if i believe this is the last great apostasy had people going to just fall away in droves.

will i give myself to a new missions outreach.

if i'm convinced that that the time of harvest is over at am i going to be praying fervently for revival in america. if i believe that america's best days are behind them were destined for judgment so that's why i really encourage folks to think through what they believed as many times its underlying many times it's a conscious thing for us when we say okay here my entire beliefs. and here's how to fix my attitude. many times it's more subtle because of that i can have a dangerous effect on us. michael in the in the circles church circles in which you travel.

would you say that most christians you know just assume that things are going to get worse and worse on the earth or is that not true in the circles in which you travel out unspoken manner. all i would play the underlying feeling. so how is it a thought. not much colic within the church.

everybody's all act like everything is perfect in the church don't do much for not vocalizing her opinions about things. why bother is everything is getting worse. yeah that's it and see that's that's my problem that's my problem hey michael, i appreciate the call and thank you for listening over in milwaukee. blessings, blessings to you so here is my issue france years were bring up such a debate. the end times with because i know will all have our scriptures and let me say this as a historic premillennialist subtle cleaner preacher rapture.

i don't believe in the dispensational dividing of history as radically as the sensations were divided. i've dear friends around the world were dispensational sort of work with for years and some i will my close friends.

the world is upon them from india. we work together now 23 straight years. we were dear dear friends. we had heart heart talks about so many life-and-death issues but nothing would ever talk eschatology-nobody believes if you believe that a preacher rapture.hello my time teaching and preaching assists never come up the scores and scores and scores of messages are brought just hasn't come up but but if i if i saw a negative effect on the work they are doing because of an entire beliefs. then we would discuss but i personally don't believe that will be rapture out before tribulation. if there is a definable seven year tribulation are like in the recess ef because many times these. sometimes symbolic in scripture, but if there is a literal seven-year. the end of which jesus returns the symbol and you know exactly what will no one's going to be able to say okay here's the very first day of the seventh year that if we know the date we should know the times and seasons, the right, but i personally believe in and time view with parallel extremes. now lessons to convince you i know i carry a lot of weight for many of you, but i'm not sends to convention and not giving scriptural proofs or arguments. my own view is that the end of the age will be characterized by parallel extremes. so how can that be well if you look at the picture the globe right now. one part historical importance like right at the same time, these things can happen. you have these parallel extremes side-by-side the same in the spiritual realm. so i believe it will be the greatest harvest with servicing the greatest outpouring of the spirit with servicing of the greatest signs, wonders and miracles referencing and greatest deception with servicing the greatest satanic warfare with servicing the greatest counterfeit miracles reversing. i believe that god will unveil his arm in unusual ways, and satan will unveil his arm unusual ways that things will be less and less hidden in that respect as we get to the end of the age. i put my focus though on what god is doing, not a satanist.

you simply talk about that stuff all the time it was wrong society and yeah i i recognize there are problems in society but my focus is what's our response and see here is interesting to go but i don't know when jesus is coming back. i hope in my lifetime, but it might be it in in my grandkids lifetime or their grandkids lifetime.

i don't know. i can't prove it to you one or another scripturally you say. i'm sure i can well hold that lightly. hold to that lightly, because a whole lot of things that people have written in stone and not happen to the bible's unreliable none of the above is totally reliable many times her and time interpretations are not reliable to try to read things into much and by the way whatever system swindles to dispensational premillennialism historic premillennialism omelette was impossible, and it was i think your problem text for every body and problem issues for everybody. personally, just just to say that as honestly as i can see here's what i know god put hope in my heart today got put vision in my heart today got put hope and vision my heart five years ago 10 years ago, and i've seen her do so many amazing things.

why should i have an attitude of discouragement. why should i have an attitude of hopelessness right back joined dr. michael brown, along with messianic jewish pastor scott melvin for unique behind the scenes tour of israel. february 25 through march 6, 2017. space is limited so accepting applications on a first-come first-served basis. for more information on a trip and to secure your spot, please visit our website@askeddr.brown.org and click on the Israel tour banner four-color office at 704782370. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice aboard cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown assume we have not spent a lot of time PI and email situation is anything but exonerated.

But this of course will fall on pro-Hillary anti-Hillary lines, Fox news headlines in the clear FBI will not push for criminal charges of the Clinton's quote extremely careless email use and what I posted was this by not recommending the indictment of Hillary. The FBI has indicted itself. I put out a poll question two hours ago almost any field but the FBI's recommendations regarding Hillary corrections were careless but not criminal of 9%. Civil law is unclear 3% said very fair 88% said an outreach again this is reflective of my my twitter followers. So that's that's a a smaller number of people and that that is some obviously people who are largely conservative in their views as I am, but no surprise, and I just wonder if you go through the general public. If you get anything other than a response along expected party lines 866-34-TRUTH about the time of the end times and talking about our view of our view of how we should minister today with hope, with expectation with confidence.

I really believe that America can experience a gospel based moral and cultural revolution. I don't know how far it will go but I do believe that there will be a holy pushback against the societal anarchy against the societal chaos against the breakdown of morality against the war on gender against the redefining of the family.

I do believe that there will be a gospel based response now in the natural. It's counterintuitive the natural things getting worse and worse. The natural is no reason to even hope for change. Things are America as we know it kisses by.

That's why many feel I'm in the inevitability of an inherent not the Mets, suggesting gaze go back in the closet were to use an argument Susan argument so I can say that's what that's what you're calling for your call. If gaze go back because you're calling for their marital bonds to be dissolved are calling for soliciting happen and look look at the facts.

The younger generation overwhelmingly supports these changes just to focus on one area, the regeneration of woman supports these changes. Let's switch to entirely different subject's speak to the subject of sexual morality in terms of a pornography vast majority of young people surveyed find no problem with watching find no problem with watching for the vast majority of young people serving so I can turn that in there many other areas social areas and things like that with the older generation has one view the court more conservative you in the younger generation is a quote more progressive view pornography in a category, but whatever images look. Inevitably that's the way it's going.

I understand the mentality I understand the mentality and yet I know God and in my relationship with God.

What I see is that we are over comers in my relationship with God.

What I see is the power of the gospel save my relationship with God but ICS is promised to pour out a spirit of all flesh. My relationship with God when I see is ultimately the triumph of the gospel on the earth when Jesus returns. I don't know that things will get hellishly bad before then, but I do know ultimately that God's ways will be vindicated. Therefore, I stand for those ways today and a sense of confidence to follow him say I have a sense of confidence with what's coming because of my faith in God.

Today you say yeah, but you're denying Scripture you see your forgetting verses like second Timothy three but know this, that in the last days pros times will come 01.

I'm not forgetting Scripture all but ignoring it at all. I'm taking it in context. Paul was giving practical counsel to Timothy who is living in these last days was telling Timothy know Timothy notice carefully. 2000 years from now things in a really bad what what teacher says that to the students not listen. I want to focus on is really carefully as 1500 years from now.

This can be an economic collapse. No you don't.

You tell your students how can a look. Be very careful. There is usually disease spreading around and and you gotta be very careful with what you eat, where you go you can practical accounts look when you get out of the school you want to college can be a very different environment. Be ready for this and that that's what you do. That's being practical. So that's what Paul's doing but know this, that in the last days perilous times become Paul understood they were living in the last days and in the last days of these last days in which we live these days of the kingdom, having broken on the earth.

It's a 2000 her. But if you understand last is the final segment than this is what did Peter say these last days of the outpouring spirit asked to and inducements of the temple was destroyed. It's utterly bogus, completely bogus interpretation, the predators, the full printer. Three completely bogus is challenging that will hopefully write a book on abusive debates on it anyway. Look at let's read it okay but notice that the last days perilous times will come from and will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, posters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving slanders, without self-control, brutal, despises a good traders, headstrong party, lovers of pleasure rather lovers of God having full of goblins but*can I ask you.

Hasn't that been the case in many generations. Does this describe us today that describes 40 years ago did that when people read it 100 years ago did they say that the scribes us to look at what he says and from such people turn away. He's giving him practical advice about the days in which you live. The last days have been characterized by great deception and great outpouring from the beginning until the end, the last days characterized by great deception and by great out pouring yes absolutely. That is the pattern until the and of the age. Great moving of the spirit great moving of darkness. I would rather have the devil moving and God moving the needle. I rather have the devil doing everything in his might to destroy. And God unveiling his holy arm to bless write about a time, go to the website. Check out our special resource offer this week. Check out our latest articles and my bottom line. Today I serve the living God. Jesus has risen from the dead and his Lord, how can I not live have you realize that what you believe about the end times can affect your outlook on life and ministry today is a healthy unhealthy biblical or not it's time 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 welcome friends to the line of fire today. I am not in a major Hillary Clinton situation with the FBI. Suffice it to say I expect responses along party lines. My own view, as I tweeted out earlier is the FBI not recommending the indictment of Hillary Clinton. They have indicted themselves.

And we also say that Hillary Clinton is anything but exonerated in this if she was guilty of gross negligence, great carelessness Secretary of State. I would sit still smiled way to put it and potentially allow sensitive information to get into any, has been just didn't have intent for I could not trust her judgment as Secretary of State. If she was going to play by her own rules. There how much less what I trust her judgment as president of the United States. Yet another reason I cannot possibly give her my vote against special guests. This can be joining you in a few minutes it's going to be an absolutely fascinating interview. Trust me on that. But first, let me let me comment on this issue of the attitude with which I live. Many people have been raised in a church setting that had a tremendous focus on the end times.

The return of Jesus.

The book of Revelation and its basically produced an attitude of pessimism of hopelessness of even escapism.

So let's just say that you were convinced that the house you're living in is going to collapse. You just know what you're convinced of it. Okay. And the first moment you begin to see the wall sagging fear or something go wrong with the roof you think this coming down.

It's coming down to repair. Did you chant to fix it to bring someone to examine the structure.

No, it's all coming down right but if you just have a normal attitude. So what's the problem with our house. We can fix right well encourage you to do is whatever your end time viewers.

If you see a problem look for God's solution to if you see a problem in society. Look for God's solution to it. I mean at the end of the day that's what I come back to at the end of the day when I come back to is the burden that God lays on my heart today that that the burden that's in my heart today. The attitude that's in my heart today.

The faith, the confidence it's in my heart today and the fact that the needs are real today, and if we are called to be like them and what do we know we know that were called to be salt and light.

We know the recall to be the Lord's ambassadors. We know that were called to be disciples and make disciples. So my question is then how should we live were faced with slavery and segregation. How should we live regardless of her entire view of her face with abortion. How should we live were faced with redefining marriage. How should we live were faced with massive national debt.

How should we live when were faced with immigration questions. How should we live.

It doesn't regardless of what's can happen tomorrow. We know about today in our responsibility to act today so don't let an end time view paralyze you so that you become inactive because hate. It's all coming down the route of your until they give you a false sense of security. Well, so the return one day as if there's nothing were called to do today do the will of God today experiences lesson tomorrow will be right back. Hey friends, this is Michael Brown I would encourage you to join our support team today, torchbearer one of our regular monthly support that enables us to broadcast the line of fire in America and around the world and all. Every month we sold back into an many many different ways join our team become a torture asked Brown a SK Brown.org. Click on donate. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution there again is Dr. Michael Brown for grandma always friends every day that I'm on the radio every single day that I'm on the radio is a reminder to me in a reminder to you of something that is burned in my heart for all more than 16 years now that there is going to be a gospel based moral and cultural revolution in America when God began to lay this on my heart so heavily in the late 90s.

Along with that he laid on my heart that I would be on national talk radio and is much as you may be used to meet somebody for eight years now. When he began to lay on my heart. It was utterly and completely unlikely, yet here we are. Every day introduced as your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution friends with confidence that our God will work mightily through his people in America in the coming years. There's a lot to be discouraged about.

There's all that's wrong.

This office wrong with the church's office wrong with the world around us.

But when you spend time in the presence of God.

Your burden will deepen, but you will come out depressed or hopeless. You come out with a sense of hope and victory. My guest joining me now is a fascinating story. He was on the air with us a few months back and his stories change quite dramatically since then.

Robert Lopez authored Jephthah's daughters innocent casualties in the war for family quality, frequent contributor to conservative sites such as American thinker in the Federalist Boykin Christian going to the Southern Baptist convention currently migrating out of secular liberal arts. We talked for 18 years into Christian humanities education. He has decided not to sacrifice his soul on the altar of University tenured status. A man who had identified as bisexual raised by lesbian mothers as he came to the Lord and became known for speaking the truth about these various social, moral areas and very sensitive family issues came under constant unfair onslaught and attack at his University recently made a major decision so we want to catch up with life with Robert Lopez hey Robert, great to be on the air with you. Hi, thank you, start around out. Please let our audience know what was like teaching humanities.

It is secular university in California then terms of the onslaught for you holding to your biblically based moral cultural family views. What was it like was the constant bombardment was the environment it was more like Chinese water torture you would go through periods where it seemed like everything was okay and then you would have no way of expecting what would come next because first, they attacked me directly. Based on my views about biblical sexuality and the definition of marriage.

But then when my father back to get them in trouble in terms of academic freedom and religious liberty, then they would concoct with increasingly strange accusations based on other things that would not fall under academic freedom like they accused me of not filling out a travel form correctly or of not turning in a grade on time, etc. so you I just never knew from one day to the next what was going to happen and it was this slowly escalating almost kind of mental torture because first, it was the students were starting to pylon against me than the faculty jumped and then the administrators jumped in and all at the same time that there was also enormous pressure and harassment coming from off-campus though I was getting vandalism on my door. Nasty note slipped under my door. Nasty phone messages next to email the campus police were very poor about investigating any of those things and so it was just this all out for all you know attack on all five, but you never knew that the hardest part was that you never knew what was going to happen next. So everything will day become more and more anxious and more and more panic ridden until finally I realized that I couldn't even really share the beauty of God's truth, even through literature on that campus because I was so busy trying to protect myself from any kind of weird attack. I couldn't predict and I remember reading that when when Junior wife had a baby thing was your first baby that that particular day, you got some of the ugliest hate mail. Email sent your way. It was just it was like that right just even in the day okay give the guy a break. This is a day of celebration instead of sedated to increase the attack, exactly.

And you know at the time that was in October 2014.

At that time I thought that it was just coincidence that my son was born that day and I was getting all of this attack from the human rights campaign, they sent out a letter to over a million people naming my workplace in my workplace got bombarded with hate mail, but then over the following two years I realized that there were channels of communication between people off-campus and people on campus. I had suspected that, but I didn't get evidence of that until about late months of 2015. Where there were people online who were posting out of the real man bragging about how they had contact with people at Cal State Northridge so I realize that a lot of times those coincidences were were actually orchestrated that they knew that that was the date or that with the general time. My baby was to be born because they were in contact with my students and that really alarmed me and made it hard for me to go to work because I felt so completely almost paranoid at every turn. And just in terms of true freedom to freedom to speak out. Obviously, if you speak out in their dire consequences if I sell you.

You have freedom to speak out skin to burn your house down if you do, then it's not real freedom in terms of for students and for faculty on that campus. How much true freedom was there to openly hold to dissenting views out there was none there were absolutely no there was no freedom whatsoever because every rule will be bent against you. Every standard will be applied in an arbitrary fashion where you know if I accuse someone else of discriminating against me will drop the case if someone make that accusation against me. They will come through every email they will leave no stone unturned until they find some evidence that I did something wrong and then at the same time they won't enforce proper standards of conduct against people so I could be harassed and I could be slandered and I could be physically threatened and the campus police wouldn't do anything in the Dean of obviously is not going to do anything and the University won't do anything so it there is no freedom because ultimately if you defend God on that campus every single possible channel of backlash will be used against you, though it did. It's a case where part of me wishes I could stay there and continue to fight the fight but I also prayed a lot on them. I felt like God was telling me you know you did your time you you major case of the best that you can and now you know, go to a Christian institution where you're going to be more supported and where you can actually reach the believers because I think now we need to get into a new phase. Dr. Brown where we have to really strengthen our own side we have to get the people already believe her on her side, we have to give them the strength to go out there and stand up to these people. Yes, we can multiply whole generation that can get into the schools or children schools into the colleges into the universities into political office into into the marketplace and influence them and impact them as opposed to be silenced and ridiculed it in another environment. All the more we do it that we got about a minute and 1/2. We made need to continue this statement after the break, but came to a momentous decision about tenure and even realized how that could be somewhat of an idol that we bow down before.

So what happened in your heart about that, I realized that tenure was this thing that everyone had told me was the most important goal in your life and that it would follow all of your problems and I realize that it really was replacing God that the closer the more invested I felt safer I felt on under tenure. The last that I was really relying upon God because if you think about it. What is tenure at the same app for the entire duration of your life you're going to be protected by this institution and you should really never give away your freedom and bow down simply for comfort for the flesh part of Egypt, if you will. You should never give up your freedom to actually speak boldly about your love of God in exchange for something like that it's it's inherently in tension with who we are as Christians, not my payment every single tenured person have to give up tenure, but I think it is a flashpoint that we have to really consider as Christians try to engage higher education yeah I'd written in the medical revolution in 2000 that we could not bow down before the God of secular academics and obviously if we have to sacrifice our soul in order to win the approval of the world in any way. It is self-defeating and violates what Jesus says, which is if you save your life, you lose if you lose your life for my sake and the gospel you find it.

I want to find out about the new life that Robert is living in and talk about his book as well. Jeff, this daughters will be right back with Robert Lopez right here on the line for the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown to the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown lifted his of mass.

The fact that he dared to address these things openly as someone who'd been there and done that Robert Lopez decided hey I like in a sacrifice my life and my soul to preserve tenure do its best in writing God's side.

It's a freeing thing and want to catch up with Robert set now major book that he wrote co-authored Jeff this daughters innocent casualties in the war for family equality and been through chapters in that book. It's an important work of one chapter were were Robert differs with me on some points, which is great, great, constructive interaction, I very much appreciate the work of Robert. I do want to talk about Jeff this daughters in a minute but where have you transitioned to now, what are you doing well. I was really blessed by God that I got a job offer from a Baptist college in Texas will be teaching. I've moved to Texas and I'm really excited to be able to teach all the great works of literature that I believe in.

In that context, I do think that all truth and all beauty is God's truth and beauty and so the ancient classics written Greek and Latin I think are wonderful tax to be able to brighten people's perspective on the ancient context where the Scriptures came from.

So I'm excited to do that, you know that the plea is that I was at California had pretty much let it classics program die. So this is just a wonderful opportunity for me and you have to worry about micro aggressions on the canvas either. Well, you know, I bet if it's an interesting thing because I really have to adapt to a new culture. I've never been immersed.

Even I am a southern Baptist.

I came at the Southern Baptist faith are a Chinese Baptist Church in Los Angeles. Though I've never really been immersed in the full Southern Baptist culture and I I am learning the courtesies about all of those type of decorum. I think I think I welcome they're not things that I feel like are imposed on me, or that are taking away my freedom, which is how that differs from Los Angeles. Yes you try to have a culture of honor and respect and kindness and things like that. Those will positive virtues like I'm a New Yorker living in the South you had. I learns some things that are either California subs different than Texas. In that regard, but yet it will just getting people to think again that the dumbing down of her education system.

I know we have great universities.

We continue to reduce world leaders in certain ways intellectually, but just the dumbing down of our thinking and end just the challenge of reading the classics and the challenge of thought. The early American education people were steeped in the Bible it was steeped in classics. Ryan I think you take that away from people, then you really take away their freedom, because there they're not going to be independent thinkers. If you just ground them and things that were published in the last 50 years, all of which trumpet the same ideology and that recycle the same assumptions about what is justice and what is fairness, then people don't know how to think outside of it and there very easily control and at what I think were seeing right now you know I when I was growing up as a kid with Latino ancestry coming from a very unusual household be ancient classics like the Anand and the Iliad. They maybe feel powerful because I realize that those classics along to me just as much of white people have a belong to everybody, but if you don't have that kind of humanities education, then I think people really lose their sense of independence. Yeah, I as I looked at the educational system and even just with our being distracted through constant wireless communication texting in just the short bursts of thought and communicating tweets and things like that I've seen for example that that just to sit and focus on the book and not one to check my email it you know you realize that this distractions in the polls with the younger generation has been raised in this writer heard professors talk about the difficulty of getting a kid to sit with a book and read through the whole book. So to get people to think again. If we can do that on our Christian campuses beyond what's happening in some of her other campus is just that is a major contribution to society right am I one of the main things I was just talking to a Christian scholar here were I've moved to is the equivalency between race and sexual orientation. If you really trace the growth of the LGBT movement, you realize that was false equivalency that they managed to convince many people and people just did not have the critical thinking skills that back and realize wait a minute. Being black is very little like having a sexual desire that is unusual right that the two things are not equivalent but I think the education system had dumped people down so much that the Dutch mass of the people who could not step back and see that those two things were not equivalent. And I'm and that's one example of how it has failed us and, ultimately, I felt as a Christian because then were not well-equipped to be able to argue against these claims that people make right and then we've gone from some relative morality to relative reality. I have my cheese versus your treason in a certain point, the absurdity become self-defeating, but you keep thinking we would've reached the point that it was a woman of the year you would've thought somebody said excuse me, but at a certain point, it does become self-defeating hate. I know you've written hundreds of pages on this just a couple minutes we have.

Putting aside the clear teaching of the Bible on family structure, male-female relations and marriage beneath the man and woman. What is your problem with gay couples raising children with redefining marriage. What's your problem. Aside from what the Bible says why did you take exception to this. In terms of what's best. Well, I think that there is the fact of the matter is that even if it were not defined as clearly as defined at the stand in the Bible homosexuality is an activity that makes people unhappy and it makes people who are around homosexuals unhappy as well. I can say that you, having been immersed in a culture for so long. It's not a life-giving type of relationship. It's the kind of sexual interaction that is painful and often on cleanly and so to put children in that environment where they have to be exposed to that all the time and I have to cover up for their parents and they have to try to rationalize what what they slowly begin to realize growing up is something is bringing unhappiness to the two people were raising them. That's just the terrible situation. You know, just in June you saw all of these gay couples bringing their children to the gay pride parade and you have to think what kind of distorted thinking would lead someone to think that's okay to bring six-year-old to a place where there is nakedness in sadomasochism and there's all kinds of perversion. I just think that all of the sociological impact all of the higher rates of depression and obesity in all of these impacts that were seeing better more clearly documented now that the research is coming out and it greater depth at all of that stems from the fact that those relationships are ultimately their unhappy relationship to the unhappiness of the Corvette and I think for the person who struggling with same-sex attraction. 99 times out of 100, they're going to find happiness by just resisting that urge and not trying to build a life based on something that is not life-giving this is Robert you can speak to that in a way that I can't and that's why ask you the question I just want to say this feeling in my heart to tell you that I really believe that intellectually, emotionally and spiritually really flourish and blossom in the new environment.

I look forward to seeing what you produce among the students in your own life that God bless you set thank you so much.

I like that all of the joy by James Robison sure 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 66343 here again is Dr. Michael Brown welcome welcome friends to the line of air.

I was getting ready today 11 o'clock Eastern time to work out with an old friend and colleague. In fact, he was the first when it started pushing me when I asked him to train the workout with me years back. He and his wife and kids now serving as missionaries in the Philippines business based in fact he runs across another two in the in the Philippines and it's basically given them a great platform to the nation about fitness and things like that so he's in. He's in great shape, although not great enough shape to me today to condemn a few seconds but anyway putting that aside, getting ready and the 1 o'clock, and is not to be at the door and lo and behold exist in stateful law will behold, I see this can be this major announcement, FBI major announcement and about Hillary Clinton thought to myself what it says but Haley click that and that was going to be at. So I was able to watch the first few seconds in a sentence about whose emails I thought this is no way they can recommend to indict.

I just is no way yet different roles.

I'm it's just I couldn't imagine that they'd recommend indicting that I was hoping that they would because for everything.

I know she should be indicted. If you are the Secretary of State you play by your own rules and you potentially you potentially expose military secrets.

The identity of CIA agent sensitive information potentially to the enemy which the FBI said could have happened then. Then, in point of fact, in point of fact should be indicted. The idea that there was, not intent to do it. Okay a drunk driver didn't intend to crash the car into that family and kill the family didn't tend to do that things are done. People didn't intend that that the guy who is responsible for night security, he didn't tell him to fall asleep on the job so that a thief came in and stole some precious item that he was there to guard intend to do it there plenty of things that look so it can be court-martialed. I'm sure for negligence right fit for it for negligence even even though they did not intend to be negligent, so the idea. The idea that well when I get a recommend indictment because she didn't intend to be negligent, that the Timmy's indictment on the FBI.

But even if they did recommend would would the religious Department of Justice would would she prosecute Hillary Clinton hate right in the midst of a presidential campaign can see it now, Hillary is not been exonerated, something exonerated. She has been found to be extremely careless and many are saying that the news conference was basically all the reasons that she should be indicted, but recondite. Now I'm not getting to major discussion about talked about briefly in the last hour and 1/2. You have my views on it and many times on talk radio. I just want to get your take benevolent things on my heart is insular. Sure, we've had some special guests as well and and and I will say this I want to say this puts your hope in God and pray for awakening in the church and pray for God's will. In the elections for God to have his way. Pray for awakening church and then vote your conscience vote accordingly.

But do not look for political savior. Under no circumstances with Hillary Clinton have my vote list became a totally different person. If I saw changes positive changes in Donald Trump. He could have Michael that I have to be convinced that something was happening in his life, and I can visit this point not hold my convinced know what is like the time you file the 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 will feel righteous passion rising with you for change. You will be concerned but you will be full of hope and confidence in the living God and my guest dear friend, we've been unable to connect for a few weeks now because of more varied schedules, my esteemed colleague James Robison was one of these men.

If you listen to him as much as he will tell you the truth right between the eyes in an uncompromising way if he was a doctor he tell you okay this is a serious condition, but he does it with love and he does it in a way that gives you hope he has a new book out.

The stream wrote an endorsement for than its vintage James Robison and that it diagnoses the massive problems in America and points us to ways of positive change. So James, it's been a while. Welcome back to the line of fire by Michael up appreciate you so very very much there. Couple of those articles will be streamed over talk about book stream Robbie Zacharias's article you have ordered magic yardage. Only a minute what it amounts to the genocide of the death of the current morality, and reasonable. Categories also tremendous article about her taxes on the Constitution and then every week. You have so many things that are so important to magical people visit the stream everyday. The book stream is in the bookstores of Tuesday and I really do believe it will be a tremendous help the people are short chapters any I would say describe the shepherd or someone with the shepherd heart and the heart of our father, Cody, and in a brief manner address certain date concerns that we are facing today and give inspiration and insight on how to deal with to encourage people to be inspired by realities that we place on the hope it's all and to become involved affectively in making the necessary changes and you don't use the word mama little change Donald Trump pomade that he's really up done particularly like to use the word change because it was so misused by this present administration and I suggested that we begin using the word correction we need to correct the course. We need to correct our way. We need to deal with difficult things that we face that have proven ineffective by correcting them � that the Bible actually called repentance, which includes a change of heart, a change of mind.

Ultimately, the change of correction course correction so that's what this book springs about mental were trying to help people live together. When you share share of legally hope rests on what correction it repentance offers letter formation of all things essential why the concept of streamed the word stream. It's the website stream.org sell the book the stream winds that come from, but it comes from summing up my heart but out of out of the heart of God from the throne of God flows River in eternity. It deftly closed just from his heart. She was really ministering to me and giving me the silent understanding of the times I filled in labor organizations for when you spoke to the truth of Scripture old and New Testament that when he gave to the church. Apostles policy binds pastors and teachers as well as witnesses of believers. The truth of God flows from his heart now is fed by tributaries uniquely designed and gifted contributors that we not gather around one tributary as the source because all of these gifts were contributing what we need for life because the stream brings forth by every square stream flows the fertility increases the productivity different so that area in your story. I must remember tributaries in the stream.and with more people gathered around me and becoming my chair and such and argue you are Joyce Meyer, who almost a year buying from Brown Mark anyone person was so old that's good that came from the tributary that is a contributing contribution to all of us. I will and I really do think it's critical about one of the things I'm really encouraged Mr. Thompson exactly as last question spiritual counsel and EPS part thereof, and we offer it because after all, Joseph.

Signed Daniel.

Appalled apostles. And and I think it would also be one of the things I would say to him. He was been surrounded on that platform on the president was some of the most gifted talented men and women of character and story that brings so much to the table wouldn't be wonderful if a candidate got the nomination would actually bring these brilliant people to gather and sit at the Council of the godly city Council by caring people. And when the plane about to happen. I just like as the ability to exhort one with all the brilliance of knowledge of Ted Cruz about charisma out about my cup and evangelical and pastoral background and leadership as a governor. And what about Rich Centor was so respected not only by Catholics but by evangelicals in the great state of Pennsylvania. What about the gifts that others would bring that we have a tendency just to write all calls. After all, we took some shots at one another without much question she one of the ribbons shooting.

Let's say hours of truth in love.

We oftentimes store the other person character. One of the things that you have talked about a lot is you putting so much to the type and those who watched and listened to you know there's a greater goodness and love and compassion.

Everything you're saying with deep conviction I heard it over and over at the meeting in Washington. Michael Brown is one the most brilliant use of some of the most essential things, but something is happening in Michael we Seymour more compassion in my project. Praise God for that.

I really want to say that I don't want anybody to gather around the same teacher we might really appreciate them. Some may speak more clearly to us that another, but every one of us are vitally important as members of Christ's body.

Yeah, absolutely. That is the biblical way and it's it's throughout the entire New Testament and in Jesus is is the one to whom all attention is given. Let the need Ray something to that you can address personally. Now I'm sure you heard this these evangelicals they are so gullible.

Trump should he just wants their vote. He gathers them together. People want you know of a place at the seat of power and and he's not listening to anybody. This is just a political ploy.

Can't you see through. Now I'm sure in every group there people were gullible.

I'm sure every group there people who, if they could have access to the power they they wanted you been around long enough for 50+ years of ministry you've never endorsed a candidate and you don't plan to ever endorse a candidate's your presence there is not endorsement. Do you believe that it did get your opinion and the time you spent with Donald Trump.
