It's just a misery. there. Face the flag soon. And thank God it's still there. All righty, we're back in the We had to let big John Say his peace, so now we'll go to the other big John.
And, um, you know what we're gonna talk about, John? Men Who Paid Freedom's Price You Ready? Yes, sir. On july fourth, seventeen seventy six, there was signed in the city of Philadelphia one of America's historic documents. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE It marked the birth of this nation which under God was destined for world leadership.
We often forget that in declaring independence from earthly power, our forefathers made forthright declaration of dependence upon Almighty God. The closing words of this document solemnly declare With a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour. The fifty-six courageous men who signed that document. Understood. That this was not just high sounding rhetoric.
Oh, no They knew that if they succeeded, Well, the best that they could expect. would be years of hardship in a struggling new nation. If they lost they would face a hangman's noose. as traitors. Of the fifty-six.
Few were long to survive. Five were captured by the British and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes from Rhode Island to Charleston sacked, looted, occupied by the enemy. and burned Two lost their sons in the army. One had two sons captured.
Nine of the fifty six died and The war from its hardships o'er Fremen's bullets. Whatever ideas you may have had of the men who met that hot summer in Philadelphia. It's important. That we remember such facts about men who made this pledge. They were not poor men.
No. They weren't wild eyed pirates. They were men of means, rich men. most of them who enjoyed much ease and luxury in their personal lives. Not hungry men.
but prosperous men. wealthy landowners substantially secure in their prosperity. and respected in their communities. But they considered liberty much more important than the security they enjoyed. and they pledged their lives and their fortunes.
and their sacred honor. They fulfilled their pledge. They paid the price. And freedom was won.
Someone has said To be born free is a privilege. To die free is an awesome responsibility. Yet freedom is never free. It always purchased at a great cost. Little did John Adams know.
How significant his words would be when he spoke to his wife Abigail on the passing of the Declaration of Independence. Instead, I am well aware of the The toil and the blood. and treasure. that it will cost to maintain this declaration and support and defend these states. Yet through all the gloom I can see the rays of light and glory.
I can see the end is worth more than all the means. To those who sacrificed for our freedom. The end was worth The painful means. Where would we who are citizens of this United States of America be to day If there had not been those who counted the cost of freedom, and we're willing to pay for it. Where will we be tomorrow?
If men and women of integrity do not come forward today and pay the price to reclaim a dying America. John Quincy Adams once said. Posterity You will never know how much it has cost my generation. to preserve your freedom. I hope.
You will make good use of it. Thomas Paine in seventeen seventy six. What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly. It is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a price upon its goods, and It would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom Should not be highly rated.
And remember what we just read from the Declaration of Independence. For the support of this declaration. With a firm reliance. On the protection. of divine providence.
We mutually pledge to each other our lives. Our fortunes. And our sacred honour.
So who are you marching for, son? Yeah. Why are you marching, son? I'd really like to know. Because of Valley Forge or perhaps the Alamo?
Or one if by land, two if by sea. A trumpet's call. Will to be free? What of a man who stood straight and tall who weapon Silent tears when he saw brave men come on. No matter, no difference, the blue or the gray.
All were his brothers. How often need to pray? And one of Antietam. That now peaceful stream where The water blood red glittered and gleamed. Appomattox.
Chickamauga, Vicksburg, Bull Run. Cumberland, Gettysburg. and then Washington. Why are you marching, son? In Flanders Field, How proud were they whose forms beneath the poppies lay.
Men who saw Verdun and died at the Marne. That's why I saw him. and those who tried the fearful foe at Chateau Derry. who fought and bled. His hearts grew weary.
but in whose minds one thought kept churning. Let the torch of liberty keep burning. Why are you marching, son? The plane swarmed in and the rising sun glowed fiercely on the evil done to men whose blood runs through our veins. Men who died It remains like forever locked in.
Water is deep.
Now is it right that they should sleep while the warrant sea laps of the twisted hull and See the torch of liberty grow dull. Anzio, Cassino, Bo. Saint Mary Glace Le Monde, St. Law. Garden Lake and Buchan Mall.
On and on the roll is called. And why? Why are you marching, son? Hugos shrilled in the frozen night and First dawn. The awful sight of the season of men.
Row after row left to die on blood-stained snow. Usan, Pyongyang.
So on Young Zhu. And blood-red ran the swift yellow. In South Vietnam the big guns roared and once again we fought a war. To honor a pledge our nation gave. To help that little country save her people from the certainty that she'd be ruled by.
Tyranny. No matter where the big guns roar, our fighting men like those before. Take the torch we all held there and Face freedom's enemies without fear. Our fathers died from sea to sea. Blessed the torch of liberty.
Why? Why are you marching, son? Yeah. You know, Big John. This week, I've been reading from God's Word to Bible passages that refer to.
Communism. You know, people think that Karl Marx was the father of communism. No, no, no, no. We read about Communists in Proverbs chapter one and Isaiah thirty two. in Psalm chapter one.
Communism well, really is Satanism and We're at a time in our history right now where We have an uprising and They're moving. And the test is for us. A lot of our younger people. John Ard are aware of what Communism is. Oh, it's it's the religion of death.
But this nation was one nation. America was founded one nation. Under God And in the beginning at the point in God's good time. Will the Constitution convention. had completed its work.
The ladies sighted up to old Ben Franklin.
Well, doctor Franklin What have you given us? You have a republic, madam. If you can keep it. There have been other governments Before they had gone By the description, the word Republic But those were different. different in origin, different in nature, different in structure.
The best of the past was incorporated into the new and and true republic. The rest, the evil, the excesses, was rejected.
So this new creation stood unique, a system. s of self-government. By the consent of the governed, and with union. A constitutional republic with individual liberties. elected representatives and limited government.
A government with its powers nailed down, fastened, and confined to the proper defense of the individual. to his pursuits of life and liberty and property. Happiness and those inalienable rights endowed by our Creator. A republic in which the power to to govern was checked and balanced by devices designed to to stop the tyrant in his tracks. The sons of liberty joined to erect Four fences around their government.
So it could not get out of hand or out of bounds. the executive, the legislative, the judicial, and individual Each was to be a check or balance on the other. After God, the individual came first. Only by his consent could government govern. and then only to protect his life, liberty, and prosperity, not just his, but all men equally.
And so the founding fathers created a republic. A democracy? Where half plus one can squash the rest no, no, no where fanatical majority can deprive the individual of his rights or his life. His property. No, no, sir, no, sir, not for these men.
They knew democracy. with its excesses. It's a levelling down process Alert. Seeds of destruction. They knew the Plato's warnings that Unrestricted democracy must result in a dictatorship.
The very essence of democracy rests in the absolute sovereignty of the majority. Our founding fathers could could never accept tyranny. They recognized only one rightful sovereign over men and nations Not the State, not the majority. Each religion has a form of government and and Christianity astonished the world by establishing self-government. the foundation stone of the United States of America.
But our founding fathers realized the impossibility of maintaining freedom unless those who are at liberty are able to exercise self-restraint. And they gave to this government just enough power to serve. Just enough and no more. And even when With all the checks and balances and fit offences of that constitutional document. It was not until the Bill of Rights was tacked on the state's On that the states consented to the Union.
I ratified the Federation. Christ died and rose. To make all men free. All men all nations. Through Christ we are freed from the wages and the death of sin.
Eternal freedom. free from the ravages of appetite, eternal freedom. If we choose to be free. From this savagy The demagogues. and kings External freedom if we choose to be.
Just as Christ brought us. eternal freedom. and rebirth into a new life through him.
So he brought a new direction. for the external freedom, and a new purpose for our civil government. If Christ would die for men, Where did Caesar get off forcing men to live and die for him? There There was the spark, the flame, the beacon, the light of the American idea. The power of great American Republic.
The Sense of the Constitution of the United States The concept of a secular state was virtually nonexistent in seventeen seventy six, as well as in seventeen eighty seven, when The Constitution was written, and no less so when The Bill of Rights was adopted. to read the Constitution as the charter for a secular state. is to misread history. And is to misread it radically. The Constitution was designed to perpetuate a Christian order.
Why then is there in the main and absence of any reference to Christianity in the Constitution. Because the framers of the Constitution did not believe that this was an area of jurisdiction for the Federal Government. It would not have occurred to them to attempt to reestablish that which the colonists had fought against, namely, religious control. an establishment by the Central government. The freedom of the First Amendment was freedom from federal interference.
is not from religion, but from religion. In the Constitute States. Separation of church and state. The forest men of God from government? Not so.
The American system. is the political expression of Christian ideas a nation founded upon the rock of religion and rooted in the love of man. In eighteen fifty-one Daniel Webster was reviewing the history. of this great American family. He reaffirmed the need and the role of God, in government.
Let the religious element in man's nature be neglected. Let him be. influenced by no higher motives. The low self-interest And subjected to no stronger restraint than the limits of civil authority. and he becomes the creature of of a selfish passion.
or blind fanaticism. On the other hand. The cultivation of the religious sentiment represents the sensuousness. inspires respect for law and Order and give strength. to the whole social fabric At the same time that it conducts the human soul upward to the author of its being.
More than one hundred rears. After Webster Charles Manlick once Ambassador to the United Nations. from Lebanon, put it this way. The good in the United States would never have come into being without the blessing and the power of Jesus Christ. I know now and How embarrassing this matter is to politicians, to bureaucrats, to businessmen, and Cynics.
But whatever those honored men think, The irrefutable truth is that the soul of America is at its best. and highest Christian. The Supreme Court decision. The Church of the Holy Trinity. versus the United States.
in eighteen ninety two. Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon. and embody the teachings. of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise.
And in this sense And to this extent Our civilization and our institutions are Emphatically Christian. This is a religious people. This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to the present hour, There is a single voice. making this affirmation.
We find everywhere queer recognition, of the same truth. These and many other matters which might Be noticed. Add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass. of organic utterance That this is a Christian. Nation.
We had a We're in the middle of a second American Revolution. Through faith in God we hold these truths to be self-evident. That all men are endowed with inaviable rights. Yeah. Of life and precious liberty, the pursuit of happiness.
On these we now take aim and set our sights. Like sleeping watchmen on the wall, we have failed to heed the signs. Of usurping foreign powers within our land. Letting fraud, deceit, and usury be the curse of these hard times.
Now won't you heed this wake-up call and lend a hand and be a paw? Word of God. salute Revolution and restore. For our constitution. Play your part.
In reclaiming our nation. Join the Second American Revolution today. In the spirit of our ancestors who refused to live in chains. We now must cast our eyes on Liberty's light. Yeah.
For the blood spilled by our forefathers still flows within our veins, and we shall not live as slaves without a fight. Like soldiers, we must stand and face this enemy within. And do what we must do to seize the time. For in order to defend and exercise our liberties. We now must place our liberty on the line.
And be a part of That's a loose. Yeah. At least. He's dark. Hour comes to do.
Revolution play your part. In reclaiming our name Shut up. Join the second American Revolution today. Be a part. Part of the solution and restore our Constitution.
Play your part in reclaiming our nation. Join the Second American Revolution and route all those traitors right out of our system. Second American Revolution today. All right, what's so great about America, folks? You hear?
People come in here. Here with The World Cup taking place, you had Thousands and thousands of people came from all over the world. And they were astonished because This was not the America they were told about. This was not the America they heard about in their news media. They had never seen a land with such plenty.
They never seen stores with so much merchandise. They were amazed at the grocery stores with the amount of a selection of food. They were amazed at how many people had cars to drive. and as high as gas prices are. They were amazed because gas prices are so much lower here.
Even at the high rates today, than they are in their country. But the one thing that amazed them more than anything else was the freedoms that we have. But unfortunately, there are those people today in this country, and it's a moving, a rising move from From people who were born wealthy. And these people, for the most part, are very, very wealthy, they're very spoiled. There are people that are unthankful unthankful These are Young, mostly white.
College educated liberals. And they hate America. Why? Well, God's word in the Bible says all of those that hate God love death and Boy do they love abortion Boy do they love euthanasia And they love war. And these people, if you let them.
Well, we see what Communism has given us over the years. Hundreds of millions of people have died under communism. And I often hear people say, well, Communism has always failed. It has always failed. How wrong they are It hasn't failed.
It's acquired the goals, the goals from the very beginning. were death. The loss of freedom, slavery, that was the goals of communism. from the very beginning. But what's so great about America?
These people here that say they hate America, they're running for office and they say they hate America. what lies behind an abundance of unprecedented history. of freedoms which are the envy of the world. Half the world goes to bed hungry and half the world lies under communist rule. We're freedom as Americans.
No it simply does not exist. Homemakers in much of the world might never see in a lifetime the quantity of food which. the American housewife can choose in just one trip to the supermarket. Is this abundance and this freedom Ours merely by chance. Is it wholly due to what Americans like to perceive as US energy and know-how.
If God indeed has blessed America, why?
Some say that the land itself has made America great. One of our most moving patriot Hymns Cites the beauty of America. A beauty that all who have travelled across the continent surely recognize Catherine Lee Bates stood up atop Pike's peak and scanned a sweep of the land and wrote of this Purple Mountain's Majesties And the amber waves of grain. She concluded that God had shed his grace on this land. A vast, unexpected, An unexplored wilderness that In an astonishingly short period, grew into a great nation.
It would be foolish to deny that The rich natural resources of the land itself have not helped to make America. The oil and the ore. And the timber, the water. The soil, the climate, all have combined to nourish a civilization that would even. eventually spread from sea to shining sea.
Other nations? Two. though have been blessed with fine resources. Yet somehow these have not risen to such greatness. Others have said that America's people have made her great.
Lyman Abbott once said. A nation is made great not by its fruitful acres, but by the men who Cultivate them. not by its great force, but by the men who use them. not by its mines, but by the men who build and run them. America was a great land.
When Columbus discovered it, Americans have made of it a great nation. And so they have For they pioneered a continent. subdued the elements. That at first worked against them. Molded a society of people from all over the world.
American initiative and ingenuity are known across the earth. Other nations have looked on in awe as As her ability over the decades to Produced not only her Her own needs. But much more. America's free enterprise system and the spirit of her people. It would seem to have combined to deliver a flood of mass produced goods to the consumer.
At relatively low cost. At the same time, American economic genius has also helped to produce millions of jobs from the factories to the professions. which gave America the income to buy the goods they produce. Thus For America has escaped the specter of wide-scale hunger and home. and she has been able to feed at least some of the hungry abroad.
Through the decades she has opened her heart to the poor of the world, She has given generously to every nation, even her enemies, in time of emergency. In spite of Certain social ills The US has like abortion, is America's national sin. A horrible, horrible sin. America has passed more social legislation and erected more laws providing individual liberty than any other nation in the world. and in history.
And because of her belief in freedom of speech, She has not hidden her scarves. They are there for the whole world to see. while these totalitarian regimes that run A controlled press look on amazed. All of these blessings point back to her foundations. And to the providential hand of God, after all the purple mountains and majesties and the fruit of.
America's blessings despite her ills. call forth thanks. Giving from all those who enjoy them. The great spiritual heritage that built America unfolded by remarkable design.
So also did American democracy. The US Constitution, along with these the great freedoms they ensure. No, America did not just happen by chance. And there's is obvious to a person who truly understands the unfolding saga of the events that shaped this nation. The pages follow.
Highlight some of these evidences. Not that we should simply look back, but that we should better understand where America is today. How she arrived here. And where she must turn at this critical hour. For as Thomas Jefferson once asked.
Can the liberties of a nation be secure? when we have removed the conviction that these liberties are the gift of God, Thomas Jefferson said, My God, how little do my countrymen know? What precious blessings they are possession of Which no other people on earth enjoy. You know, there's a song called Yankee Doodle Dandy. All righty, we are back at Big John Returning.
Are you there? I'm here, Pastor Ernie. I started out the programme by telling folks that they should never call you Yankee Doodle Dandy. It'll be good. Tell tell us about Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Well, Pastor Ernie, I really wanted to get the root to it. And I wanted to have it ready for July 4th, so I did. And the word Yankee goes back to the sixteen Fifties When New York and Long Island and like parts of upstate the Hudson River and that was under Dutch control. And then 10 years later, there was a war between the Dutch and the British, and the British won. and took over.
But a lot of the Dutch had no choice but to stay there. And they developed this derogatory name for the British. And the word uh apparently a lot of the British were named John.
So the word in Dutch kind of translated over to English. This is Yankee. It's a little bit more than that. It's a form of the name John very derogatory. It means like Short midget Thirty worthless that was their nickname for the British.
So, in the War of 1757, we call it the French and Indian War. The American troops that joined the British Army to fight. The British felt that they were useless. and call them Yankees. And that's how it stunk.
It stuck. It's stuck, Best Ernie. The word Yankee is for North Northern Americans. You know, from New Jersey, New York, up maybe Pennsylvania, but especially New England. That's where the your the word Yankee came from.
So it was a derogatory name.
Now, Yankee Doodle. The British made it up. And the the song, it's many, many stanzas in it. And I don't understand you have to know Really, what they're talking about because they use names and expressions that we don't understand today. But the one that's famous is about Yankee Doodle came to town.
Riding on a pony.
Now You know, you don't men don't ride on ponies, like But this was just mocking, and it says stuck a feather in his hat. and called it macaroni.
Now back in the seventeen Yeah. the fashions of Europe came from Italy.
So if you were very fashionate fashionable and you had a lot of money and you dressed uh spectacular, you would copy the Italian dress. And then that's men and women.
So here, the the the little stanza goes, Yankee Doodle, came to town riding on a pony, stuck a feather So he's in his hat, he takes a some sort of a feather and sticks it in it. And calls it like um Um It that means Italian are fine uh clothes. It's all marking. And all the girls be handy. They're all going to love him so much because he comes in on a A pony with a feather in his hat and he's making that like this uh French dressing type.
That's the mocking pest there. Is stanza after stanza with mocking in it. And I listened to a lot of them and. couldn't make heads or tails. You'd have to get someone to interpret what this meant.
like in the seventeen seventies.
So With that background of marketing, We go to the first battle. of the Civil War of the American Revolution. which of course was Lexington and Concord. And the British didn't have really any idea. how strong the Patriots were.
The Minutemen were there. and people were defending their homes and their farms and all from the British. And the British band broke out and played Yankee Doodle. Dandy. They use they march For keep cadence and all, the infantry would have um uh bands.
And so they s they play Yankee Doodle Dandy to the Patriots. Marking them.
Well, they almost completely lost it. But from then on, the the British the British took a severe beating at Lexington and Concord, But from that time on, all The uh any type of engagements between the British Army and the Patriots the British Army would also would always play Yankee Doodle. They that was a mocking song. that while the war was going on, they'd be playing Yankee Doodle to the Patriots.
Well, it comes to October of seventeen eighty one. and the British had to surrender their army at Yorktown.
Now the British Army was completely surrounded, no way out. and they they surrendered the army.
So when the British forces are marching out of their fort, In Yorktown. They had to surrender their weapons.
So as they come marching out The American band strikes up Yankee Doodle.
Okay. So The uh the Patriots there were pl they were singing Yankee Doodle to the British while they were surrendering testimony. That sounds fair. Yeah. It's po it's justice, poetic justice.
But that's That's the story behind Yankee Doodle. Wow, I you know, I had Seems like I had heard this some many, many years ago, but You know, it's interesting because you're talking about Lexington and the Green. Yesterday I did a funeral and it was a w It was on the hot hot on the outside there. We didn didn't stay out there very long because we had I done the first funeral inside and we went out to the graveside and It was like ninety seven degrees. And I remember praying with you about that.
So we were out there but we did we didn't stay very long and Um Uh but Bernie. Cromer, the fellow that we buried, Bernie was a He was a longtime veteran. And he was a good godly man loved his family so much But What reminded me was some years ago, you may remember when I went out and I spoke, they had a reenactment of the shot fired around the world there at Lexington on the green. And they asked me to come speak and Bernie came with me and we both we spoke out there. And I'll never forget that because as I was speaking, before the re enactment.
They were all wearing their the the actors were all wearing the costumes, and that one house is still there that's still where the bullet hit the side of a went into the house. it was still there, you know. And so, anyhow, There was a crowd gathered around. probably maybe a couple of hundred people. The but gathered up close and and they were agreeing and they were amen, you know, when we were speaking.
But on on the outside of the big filter, A large crowd gathered. They they gathered and they they stood at a distance and just watched. And what it was, it was the Communists out there watching the Patriots. and the Patriots were saying how We live in a communist country. We know all about communism.
It just it was a amazing How um You know, that reminded me of of that, you know, when you were talking about Lexington. But tell us about the battle of of Lexington and Concord.
Well, Pastor Ernie. People when I bring this up, it's sort of I do with liberals. Um what What? and ignited this battle. What was What caused the confrontation at Lexington and Concord.
And that primarily well, Concord was the big one uh the big center of it. And they have they don't have a clue. They say they they guess, they say taxes You know, maybe importing tobacco and this and that. But the battle over Lexington and Concord was really the Second Amendment test earning. The British were coming for the guns, the the mini balls there the and the black powder.
They wanted to disarm The Minutemen and the militia, the Massachusetts militia, and of course, the Minutemen. They got their name at a minute's notice, they would drop their farm equipment. and grab their gun and run to the battle. They had a reenactment there. uh and where the British as they They were marching over this bridge there at Concord and what happened all of the Uh the Patriots were were were hiding behind the trees.
And uh they were uh But the British had no idea that they were even aware that they were coming. And um then they ambushed the British there. when they come marching in to confiscate the arms. That was a one of a very interesting reac reenactment there. Yes, Pastor Anyan, it's important that everyone realize.
that the actual start of the war, because that the july fourth, which we're going to celebrate that only was a result of the war that started on april nineteenth, seventeen seventy five, and they call them the Lexington Green there. Um there was like a a big meeting um field that they had, and they have one at Concord also. But the issue was The British Army had orders from London to disarm the Patriots, to to take their guns away, take their the the black powder, which was very important. It was hard to come by. and to take their the balls there.
And um That that's what triggered The battle destiny, it was the freedom to own guns, the Second Amendment, as we know it today. And we have those today that are packed and uh They want to do the same thing they want to take away our guns. They want to make us. Yeah, they want to take away our guns, Penisterney. and open up the whole country to the world criminal element and let them overrun us.
It's amazing. They can't be that stupid. This has to be planned, Best of Communism is Satanism. We're coming up to a hardcore break, so hang tight, Big John, when we come back. We're gonna pick it up from there.
We're gonna find out, uh Why, we have a Constitution to begin with to be right back when more. Thank you for listening to What's Right, What's Left, the voice of the Christian Resistance.
