This is the Truth Network. Welcome to Truth Talk Live. All right, let's talk. A daily program powered by the Truth Network. This is kind of a great thing, and I'll tell you why.
Where pop culture, current events, and theology all come together. Speak your mind. And now, here's today's Truth Talk Live host. Welcome to Truth Talk Live. This is Peter Rosenberg.
It's Wednesday. Thank you for being a part of this program. I'm here every Wednesday, and you can be on the program as well. Eight six six thirty four Truth. Eight six six.
Three four eight seventy eight eighty four. If you want to join the program, weigh in on whatever's on your heart or mine. I have some very specific things we're going to talk about today, but I am certainly willing to deviate or steer off into whatever you want to talk about. Eight six six thirty four truth. Eight six six three four eight seventy eight eighty four.
Before we get into all this, I want to address something. Yesterday Americans voted, and today everybody's talking about it. And I understand that the the candidates, the messaging, the turnout, the money.
Somewhere in the discussion, somebody is going to probably wonder about God's design in all this. And before we Ask God to explain what He has done, and allowed. Maybe we could examine what we've done. I don't want to read some numbers to you. All right, buckle up.
Since 1973, National Right to Life estimates that abortions in the United States have exceeded 67 million. Gutmarker, Gutmarker. How do you pronounce it? Which supports abortion rights? Estimated that 1,126,000 clinician-provided abortions occurred in 2025 alone, more than a million, one year.
Federal fiscal year 2024 authorities identified 532,228 children as victims of abuse or neglect. 1,773 children died from abuse or neglect, and that's just in one year. Almost two thirds of those who died were younger than three. That's here in America, younger than three. In 2025, reports to the National Human Trafficking Hotline identified 15,085 potential trafficking cases involving 21,457 potential victims for trafficking.
That's one hotline's reported caseload. That's not complete. That's just one hotline. People who are exploited for sex and labor.
Someone's collecting money, while someone else waited for a chance to escape. All right. In 2024, 79,384 Americans died from drug overdoses. Federal researchers estimated that 48.4 million Americans, ages 12 and older, had a substance abuse substance use disorder that year, involving alcohol, drugs, or both. Barnes 2024 research reported consumption of pornography among 61 percent of American adults, including 54 percent of practicing Christians, at least occasionally.
Gallup found that 62 percent of Americans considered gay or lesbian relations morally acceptable in 2026, compared with 40 percent in 2001. Less than I mean, roughly a quarter of a century later, we've dropped. We've dropped from forty percent to sixty-two percent support for legally recognized same-sex marriage rose from twenty-seven percent in nineteen ninety-six to sixty-five percent in twenty-twenty-six.
Now, we barely even touch murder, domestic violence, fraud, corruption. And the abandonment of vulnerable people. The question we sometimes ask is, "Why would God allow this?" But do we ever ask, "What did we allow? What did we finance? What did we celebrate?
What did we know about and decide to overlook?" We make choices. Other people suffer the consequences. Then we turn to heaven and we demand an explanation. God must account for His government of the universe before we will evidently account for our conduct in our own homes. There's a lot of presumption in that.
We want Him to restrain the wickedness that threatens our comfort. Will we submit when he commands us to forsake the wickedness that serves our appetites? We want honest leaders. Does our own honesty survive an inconvenience? We want leaders who protect the vulnerable.
What happens when protecting someone requires exposing a person we admire? Where do we think our leaders come from? They emerge from you know the families, schools, businesses, church, and communities, and they learn what gets applause. They discover what people will overlook. They watch a useful person get away with dishonesty, and then we act astonished when those lessons show up in public office.
We keep planning, we keep watering, then we look at a harvest and ask, "Well, who could have done this to us?" On what grounds do we deserve better? I can't tell you God's hidden purpose in a particular election. I don't know, but we do not need to access His secret counsel to understand that dishonesty, and cruelty, and greed, and sexual immorality, and murder. Have consequences. Hosea thirteen eleven.
I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. That's a sentence you're not going to hear very often in an election night victory speech. Receiving a ruler is not an automatic certificate of God's approval. The leadership people receive can become an instrument of judgment. That passage addresses ancient Israel.
America is not Israel. We handle we're going to handle scripture honestly here. I'm not trying to do apples to apples here, but the God who spoke those words hasn't ceased being holy. He does not owe us protection from every consequence of what we demand. Proverbs twenty nine two.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Wicked leadership corrupts justice and exploits people. We should oppose it. But could we recognize wickedness if it delivered something we wanted? Suppose exposing abuse embarrasses our institution.
Suppose telling the truth cost us an election, a position, or a friendship. Does our own definition of righteousness survive that expense, or do we suddenly discover the need to be practical? That exam, that self-examination belongs to every party, every church, and the guy speaking in this microphone. We talk about getting the leadership that we deserve. I look at our conduct as as a nation.
I read off those stats there to you, and I wonder how much we've already been spared. Why do we still have this morning? Why can we still open a Bible, hear the truth, and repent? I just did an interview this morning. It'll be out next week or so with Benjamin Hall, Fox News correspondent.
You may have read about his story and seen his story. He was hurt in Ukraine in a bombing, lost his leg, his right leg, I believe, in his left foot, part of his hand, and part of his eye. And he, he's got a fascinating book out. But he asked me to be on his program, and I was reading through his book and some of the things he has seen as a war correspondent, the horror that he has witnessed, that we've been spared from in this country, and yet we have committed atrocity after atrocity after atrocity. We do not deserve mercy, and yet there are some people out there.
Who are questioning God, as opposed to saying, "Lord, we've offended you." Eight six six thirty four truth. That's Truth Talk Live. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Welcome back to TruthBuff Live. This is Peter Rosenberg eight six six thirty four Truth eight six six three four eight seventy eight eighty four.
I'm gonna get to the phone lines in just a moment. I want to just touch on this. What we were talking about in the opening block? What have we done to place God in our debt? That's what's been on my mind throughout the day.
We have nothing, nothing to offer him. We we we may ask for his blessings. We ask God to bless America, but we have no grounds to demand it. None of us can claim that God owes us mercy. We deserve judgment.
And still, he gives us breath to ask for mercy. Yesterday's election did not settle our standing before him. Victory doesn't absolve us, and defeat does not sanctify us. Our need for repentance survived election night. Proverbs twenty-eight thirteen says, "He that covereth his sin shall not prosper, but whosoever confesseth and forsaketh them." Shall have mercy, confess, and forsake.
We are remarkably skilled at explaining our circumstances, our intentions, and self-justifying. What somebody else did first, confession finally says, "I did it. I lied. I knew, and I looked away. I did it." And forsaking means that we stop making arrangements to continue this.
We end the deception. We seek help, accountability, make restitution where possible, protect the person being harmed, and report the abuse. The church must practice the repentance it calls the nation to embrace, and then comes the promise of shall have mercy. There is forgiveness in Jesus Christ for people with terrible things to confess. For the woman who's carrying the memory of abortion, and the man who demanded.
For the person hiding pornography. For the person whose addiction has wounded a family, for the for the for the church member concealing years of dishonesty. For me, for you, Christ died for our sins and rose again at the cross. He bore the judgment his people deserved. Our forgiveness rests on His finished work.
We do not. Purchase mercy by repenting, but He calls us to to repent. We come empty-handed, naked to Thee. I fly, as the hymn writer said. Augustus Tuffley he wrote in Rock of Ages, "Wash me, Savior, lest I die." We come empty-handed, empty-handed, dependent on His grace.
So yes, pray for America. Pray for those elected yesterday. None of this surprised God. Pray for wisdom, justice, and protection for the vulnerable. And before this day ends, open up Proverbs twenty-eight thirteen.
Ask God, what am I covering? What must I confess? What step must I take to forsake it? His patience has given us some time. But we need to stop treating that patience as permission to continue.
We spent months asking who should govern this country. How much time do we submit to God for Him to govern our lives? I think about the vast amount of money that was spent on this election. And yet, look at the corruption of this country. I read the stats in the last block.
Since 1973, 67 million abortions. Do you think God just looks away? Do we wink at gay marriage? Do you think God just looks away? I mean, it's okay.
I got I got people that that justify that by saying, well, they only read the red letter words in the Bible, and they say, well, Jesus didn't specifically say that, and which the logic of that is is confounding because Jesus taught of the laws of the prophets and the teaching of the apostles, because he commissioned them, and how do you even know that the red letter words were red letter words? Because Jesus didn't write a book, he didn't write the Gospel according to Jesus. He didn't write a book. They wrote it. What he said, they took down his words.
So you're trusting that the apostles. I mean, the the logic in that is just confounding with a lack of logic. All of Scripture. There's only one page I would take out of the Bible, and that's that blank page between the Old Testament and the New Testament, because it's all the whole counsel of God. And the whole council of God indicts our nation, and says we are a nation of wickedness and corruptness, and we have blood on our hands.
So, as you think about the election, as you look at who is going to be serving in your office, and in your community, and and and elected office, and so forth, and and we look at the what's going to happen into our nation's capital. What's happening now? What does Scripture say? And how would anybody know they say it unless those of us who read it, study it, believe it, apply it, and now have to say it? We are compelled to say it.
We may be derided for it. People may say all kinds of things to us. They said it about our Savior. And he said they would. But are we absolved from not saying it?
Again, I told you about this interview I just did today, and and I and I read this guy's book. I was I was reading this book. I hadn't finished it, and I look at the things he's covered in in wars, and the brutality he has seen, and the the bloodlust he described. When there was just pent up anger and pent up anger that was unleashed, and what humans did to humans, and and I thought, how much pent up rage is seething in our country? You saw what happened in Minneapolis several years ago.
You see what happens on our streets. You see the the wanton violence and everything else. It's all there.
Now we're going to just. Pretend. What are we going to do about it? We just going to wring our hands. We're going to go to our nice little churches, or we're going to start stepping up and saying something.
I'm just one guy, one guy with a microphone on a Wednesday afternoon on the Truth Networks. I want to say something. My heart grieves today, not just because of the election results and things such as that. I mean that's. Because I see that we are a nation that still won't look at our own sin, we will not see what we have done as a country.
We will not, as you heard, Anne Graham Lotz in the commercial, we will not put sackcloth and ashes on our hearts. How much of us? How many of us are grieving over any of this? We may grieve over the election results, but are we grieving over the indictment that Scripture clearly shows where this nation has flagrantly violated the laws of God? Do we grieve over that?
Do we grieve over gay marriage and two men getting married and adopting children if they're conservative? Do we grieve over that? Do we grieve over gay professing homosexuals in the in the pulpit? Do we grieve over fornication that seems all but just normal now? Do we grieve over the sex trafficking that's going on?
Do we grieve over the the addiction issues that are just tearing apart families? In the caregivers support group that I lead every week here, we got people that come in there struggling because they have a family member who's an alcoholic. I'm one of the few. I'm the only one that has a national platform to address caregivers that has included family members of alcoholics and addicts as caregivers. And you see the devastation that it does to these families.
Do we grieve? Are you grieving? And what do we do with that?
Well, Scripture tells us. We're going to talk about when we come back and take your calls. Eight six six thirty four truth. This is Peter Rosenberg. We'll be right back.
You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live. This is Peter Rosenberg. Glad to be with you. eight six six thirty four Truth eight six six three four eight Seventy-eight, eighty-four.
Let's go to the phone lines. Bucksmith in Ohio. You want to weigh in on this? God bless you, Peter Rosenberg. Thank you for speaking the truth.
Thank you for telling Christianity as far as the Truth Network reaches the truth from God's Word. Thank you for not being one of the prophets that says peace and safety. Everything's going to be okay. Thank you, Peter. I, for one, out here in Ohio, want to say God bless you.
Keep speaking the truth of God's word, even when it hurts, even when it hurts others. And you have a brother that's doing the same thing here in Dayton, Ohio, Peter. And I want you to know that you're not alone. I'm going through the same thing. I, I, I just, I have so many stories I would love to say.
I mean, I was right in the middle of the Acton Ramaswamy fight. I watched the whole thing, everything from the controversial ad to her being drunk, her shutting down Ohio in 2020, everything. And so we Ohioans, especially Peter, really need to. And I have to call this out: Christians, you need to listen to your brother Peter Rosenberg. He is speaking on behalf of God right now from the Word.
He's quoting the scriptures. He's giving the addresses. It's not Peter talking; it's God talking, and it resonates with all of Scripture. When we sin, we are disciplined. Why?
Because a good father disciplines his children because he loves them. Does not want them having idols anymore. And I'm sorry. Peter, but I am going to say this: that we Christians have been drawn away by our lust, the eye, and the pride for money and and prosperity, and for things to go well in these United States, and God bless America. And believe me, you are talking to a man who really loves his country, who's.
Father and grandfather served in our United States Navy to make sure that we stayed free and we didn't turn into North Korea or or or China or the Soviet Union. My dad and grandpa—they're fighting from their graves, saying, "Buskman, you get out there and you take the torch and you keep that place free for our kids and grandkids and great grandkids." And that's what I do, Peter. But I go in the ways of the Bible, the Word of God. I don't do it Bustman's way anymore. I did, and I failed.
I lost my marriage. I lost my reputation as a Christian. And then when God picked me up and set my feet on the rock of Scripture, and I started doing it instead of just talking about it, my life changed. First, it actually got worse, Peter. Because I was now no longer seen, you know.
Oh, all that went away. But guess what? God's light shines me like it does through you, brother. And I want to say thank you. And I just want to read one verse as you as I heard your monologue, Peter.
It's out of God's Word once again. Truth Talk Live, Psalm One Four Six, Verse Three. We are guilty of not doing this verse. America, put your trust not in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. We are guilty, O Lord our God, of putting our hope and our trust in a man with no salvation.
Forgive us, O Lord. We repent. Draw us back to your word, and. We must do it. God will not do the word through for us, ladies and gentlemen.
We have to take His word, like Peter has said. We have to learn it, and then we have to live it, not just talk about it. And I would like to do a shout out to a local pastor here in the Dayton area. His name is Jeremy Hudson of Worship Fellowship in Springfield, Ohio. I showed up, Peter, by God's.
Divine movement," he said. "Boss, I want you to go to this church, and I did. And I went there to meet a friend who I brought to the Lord at my lumberyard job, and I was still working for the lumberyard. This was his church, and I wanted to go in there and check in on my godson, if you will. And that's what Pastor Hudson was preaching on: was getting in the Word and starting to do it.
And I said to Aaron, my son in the Lord, I said, 'You're in a good place.'" And I went and I talked to this man of God, Peter, and I said, "We need to talk, brother.
So we're going to get together, Peter, here in Dayton, Area. It's Jeremy Hudson Fellowship, Springfield, Ohio, Fellowship Church, Springfield, Ohio, on Upper Valley Pike. He's starting a series, ladies and gentlemen, and last week was his opening." Remarks, and he's going. I don't know how many weeks, but I'm going to be there.
So if you want to meet Busman live, that's where I'm going to be on Sunday, nine o'clock a.m. meeting time, teaching time, and I'm praying to God for Pastor Jeremy Hudson to speak on his behalf, just like Peter Rosenberg is doing, just like I'm doing, and so. I dare to say, Peter, few Christians are preaching and teaching the words. They're just all in lockstep about how we've got to pray to get the get get the red back in, or we're going to lose our country. We need to go to God in Second Chronicles seven.
This, ladies and gentlemen, we need to humble ourselves and pray and do exactly what Peter says. Start with ourselves. Our own personal sin, and then find out the sins that happen in our family. Otherwise, we're going to get stoned like Achan did when he hid gold bars when told not to. The whole family was stoned, ladies and gentlemen.
We're dealing with a holy God, not Santa Claus. We're dealing with a holy, consuming fire God. And so, but He's just and He's good, ladies and gentlemen. We have to go to him in repentance and say, "My God, I have sinned. My family has sinned.
My city has sinned. My county has sinned. My state has sinned, and my country has sinned. What must we do to be saved?" And he will tell us, ladies and gentlemen. Through that written text called the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible, and I pray that all pastors from this point on start teaching the Word of God instead of the Word of them and what they want the people to know.
Teach the Word of God. Thank you. I'm going to read. That's all I'm going to read a passage. Bucksman, thank you for that.
I'm going to read a passage from Luke 13, and there were some present at that time. Who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices? And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way?" Now these are Jesus' words. This is the red letter words. Like that guy said, "No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." Or those eighteen on whom the tower and Salome fell and killed them.
Do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. We don't understand this. We keep wanting to say, "I thank thee, Lord, that I'm not like that guy." But I got to tell you, I am that guy.
I am that guy, and so I, you know, until we collectively, individually, and then collectively start beating our chest and saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, a sinner." The only red, the only red that we need to concern ourselves is that which is painted on the doorpost and the lintel of our hearts. Correct, and that is it. We don't need to concern ourselves in the sense of this country will be better off if we have this. No, this country has blood on on its hands. It does, Peter.
A lot of blood on its hand, and we cannot expect God to just wink at that. We cannot. Sixty seven million children. Sacrifice to Moloch. Sixty-seven million and people have gleefully done this.
They have fought, screamed, and demanded to be able to do this. And our country will never, never, step into the promises of God until we first step into repentance. He's too holy. Peter, to be otherwise, sir. Yeah, I mean exactly.
I mean, how how how would that line up? I was talking about this for my Saturday show for caregivers on the immutable characteristics of God. He's not changing. He hasn't changed. He hasn't softened his stance on sin.
And if we want to understand how he feels about sin. Then we need to look no further than the cross, because He poured out His wrath. the The point of our salvation, we we sometimes need to ask ourselves, what are we saved from? We keep thinking we're saved from the devil. Yeah, no, to go to heaven.
We're saved. We are saved from God's wrath, from His wrath of Christ. People say, "Well, you know, if the worst part about going to hell is that God won't be there. Oh, yeah, He'll be there. His wrath will be there in full display.
Where can I go that You're not there? But His wrath is what is stored up, and we don't take that seriously, but He does. He takes it very seriously, so seriously that we have the cross, and this is what I." As people are kind of processing what's going on with the election, and all the pundits are going to weigh in, I don't know what everybody else is going to say. I think I'm going to just turn off the news for a while, and I'm going to go back to because the only thing I really want to hear is, okay, what does God say? When I see God's word, and when I look at the litany of charges in this country of what we have allowed, what we have built.
Hundreds and hundreds and millions and millions and billions dollars of churches in this country, generations worth, Peter. All of that wealth that we built these edifices to religion, but look at what we allowed. And do you think that God will just not take that into consideration? Do you think that He just looks the other way? Are we even hearing this from our pulpits?
And all I all I have this morning is just grief, not necessarily because of this election, but because of just the whole thing. You just look at it and say, "Lord, it's too much. It's too much. What do we do?" And then you go to Scripture, and He tells us exactly: if my people, who are called by My name, that's believers, not non-believers, believers. That's correct.
Will humble themselves and pray. God, I've sinned. What does He say? Those beautiful words. Then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.
But it starts with humble themselves and pray, and humbling ourselves, recognizing we have sin. You know, I look at back in in in Israel when when they went into such depravity, and when the kingdom split. But then there would come a young king like Josiah who found the law, called the people to it, read it in the in the assembly of people. Maybe that's where we start. Let's find the word and read it into the assembly of people.
That is. Truth Talk Live. Thank you, Buxman, for the call. Appreciate it. Eight six six eight four.
God bless you. Truth Talk Live. God bless you guys. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com.
Welcome back to Truth on Five eight six six three four Truth eight six six three four eight seventy eight eighty four. This is Peter Rosemberger. Glad to be with you. By the way, if you want to go out and find out more about the show that I do for family caregivers, this is National Family Caregiver Awareness Month. November is, and if you are a caregiver.
Please understand, I have an entire library for you. I've taken forty years of my experiences that I've learned, all of it the hard way. I continue to be a caregiver for my wife, who has had now almost a hundred operations and both of her legs amputated. And in this journey, I've learned painful, painful things about myself. But I've learned magnificent things about the gospel, and if you want to find out some of the things I've learned, and and apply it in your own life, and see things that you can maybe draw on, so that you don't have to get some of the scars that I have, go out to my Substack caregiver dot Substack dot com.
Caregiver.substack.com. Sign up today. It's free. Everything I put out there is free. It goes behind a paywall after a couple of weeks.
That's where the library is. But it's it's like five dollars a month.
Okay. But everything I put out initially is always free when I put it out.
So if you want it, you can get it right to your phone, and you can have access to a lifetime of experience as a family caregiver through a pretty serious medical nightmare. And things I've learned about God through this that have been transformative for me, and I believe you'll find it meaningful. I also have my at my website at peterrosenberger.com. You can see the new caregiver calendar I have as well, and I put it out every year. We it'll be shipping out first of December.
Or right around Thanksgiving, and it's pictures I take from here in Montana, and I put a quote on it, just something that you could see every month, just to kind of hang on to, as you're dealing with. If maybe you're taking care of an aging parent, maybe taking care of a spouse like I am, maybe you have a child with special needs, maybe you've got an alcoholic or an addict in your family, maybe, you know, you're dealing with somebody with mental illness. Whatever the impairment, how are you doing as a caregiver? How are you holding up? That's why I do the program, and you can hear this program on Saturdays here on the Truth Network, and then you can always go out to my website, peterrosenberger dot com.
I want to leave you with something. I do a lot of hymns every week on my program. I do a hymn, or that every caregiver I don't know, I call this my series, hymns that every caregiver I don't know, and this is one written by a woman who has had a lifetime of chronic illness. Um, she she was very sick. I live with a with a woman who has been hurt now for forty three years, and from a terrible car wreck, and she lives with chronic pain and so forth.
And this lady wrote this song because her family was preparing an event, a charitable event, and she was too ill to help. And according to Someone connected to her family. They kept the account of this. She lay awake, questioning her usefulness, even questioning her faith. What can I do?
What can I do? When we see the magnitude of the problem, what can we do? We see the magnitude of our nation. As I read off the indictment of what our nation has on its hands, what can we do? When this woman was looking at her own illness, thinking her life's not even worth living, should I even be living?
I mean, what am I here for?
So she took up a pen and she wrote these words: "Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me." And thou bidst me come to thee, O Lamb of God. I come without one plea. I've spent a good deal of my life coming up with pleas. Sadly, I'm ashamed to say, what I intended, what I was facing, what somebody else did. But this hymn leaves me standing before God with empty hands.
In fact, even worse, it leaves me standing before God dressed in filthy rags, as Scripture says. But that Thy blood was shed for me. This is my hope. Jesus Christ died for sinners and rose again. I can come to him with the truth about myself, and so can you.
You may be listening with something on your conscience that nobody knows about. Maybe you've rehearsed a confession, a hundred times and never spoken it. Perhaps you know who you need to call. Perhaps you know what you need to stop, or where you need help. You can take that step today.
There's another stanza that she wrote. Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Waiting not, you do not have to make yourself clean before coming to Christ. You come to Him because you cannot cleanse yourself. There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Emmanuel's veins, and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty state—not some, not a portion—all their guilty state.
As the hymn writer said, "Don't you, don't you just love these old hymns?" I mean, I just can't get enough of them. You put your hope in that Savior. There had to be bloodshed. The blood speaks. If you remember back in Genesis, what did God say about Abel's blood?
It cried out to him from the ground for justice. The blood speaks. The 67 million abortions from this country alone. That blood cries out for justice, but the blood of our Saviour speaks louder than all of it, and His Father hears that and accepts it on our behalf. We still have this afternoon.
We have time to tell the truth, time to ask for help, time to open God's Word and bow before Him. Let's pray, Father. We've spoken about terrible things today, and you know the people behind every number that are listening on every radio station through their phones, on their devices. Driving. Protect those being harmed.
Bring hidden evil to light, and search us too. Grant me repentance. Grant me courage to confess, to forsake my sin, and to accept the help and accountability that I need, so that I can share. With a country that desperately needs it as well, have mercy on our country and those who govern it, Lord. And we thank you that our hope does not rest on an election, but that it rests in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
O Lamb of God, I come, I come, Lord. May that that hymn. Echo through this land again, as it did in so many crusades, with Billy Graham. May it echo, again in the hearts of all who listen to this program today. That we do not take this lightly, and like Charlotte Elliot wrote so many years ago from her own sickness.
To rid my soul of one dark blot, to rid this nation of one dark blot, to Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, Lamb of God, we come. Father, we thank you that we can come to you in a country where we can even proclaim this on the air.
So many of our brothers and sisters across the world cannot do this. In your mercy, you have allowed us to do this. We don't know why, because we certainly don't deserve it. But we are grateful for it, and may we be good stewards of it. Bless this radio network.
Give Stu Epperson wisdom, wisdom and and clarity as he leads this network to proclaim your faithfulness. To proclaim your glory, to proclaim your great gospel to the world, as as far as the curse is found, Father, as far as the curse is found, and we thank you for that. We give you all the glory. We ask this because you said we could through the redemptive work of Christ. And so we boldly come before you, not on our own merits, because we have none, but on our great High Priest, His merits, and His alone, in Jesus' name, Amen.
Listen, I thank you all today. It was a little bit of a departure from my time with you all that I normally do. I, I, it's a sobering time. And maybe because I was having this conversation with this war correspondent, Benjamin Hall, that it'll be out in a podcast here in a couple of weeks.
