David's Bridal, where brides and bridesmaids get fabulously dressed.

We let our friends pick out what we wear. Show off our dance moves. Obsess over every little detail. Hold your hand through it all.

Smile bravely when it's time to let go. Make your dreams come true. The things we do for love. Only at David's Bridal. The Order of Nine Angels. Do you know who they are? Do you know what they stand for? What is the obscure Nazi Satanist group published by BBC? In short, their goal is to undermine what it characters as a decent Judeo-Christian society with an emphasis placed on real-world acts. The aim being a new imperial civilization based on a cruel mixture of Social Darwinism, Satanism, and Fascism.

And they now support Biden-Harris 2024. But it is their statement that goes to the heart of this entire broadcast. And we're about to bring that to you in just a minute. Before you think you're subscribed to the channel, check below. Let me know in the comments if you were, if you thought you were. And if you're new to the station, can't tell you how much it means to us when you do join.

If you could help me share and comment on the video, that's always appreciated. Your means of supporting me, there's one way here as a membership. Or if you want everything with no commercials, no interruptions, you want Lisa Haven, you want me with everything we broadcast no matter where we broadcast it. Two years plus 14 days for free.

That's right. I know most of you spend more than that on a cup of coffee, at least some of you do. And all we're asking for you is to buy us that cup of coffee in the form of a monthly subscription and in return you will get a limitless amount of information and bad actors. The Order of Nine Angels serves predominantly as an accelerationist radicalization to violence pathway premised on occult practices. I shouldn't have to state anymore, but I'm going to anyway. Adherents are encouraged to secretly infiltrate organizations such as the military or Christian churches in order to destabilize them from within.

And that is specifically what they've done. If you remember the case of US soldier Ethan Melzer accused of planning an attack on his own unit, who was he in correspondence with? The Order of Nine Angels. The order that is now endorsing Biden Harris 2024.

Could make this up if you tried. US Army soldier charged with terrorism offenses for planning deadly ambush on service members in his unit. And down here, the Department of Justice announced today the unsealing of an indictment. This was back then June 22nd of 2020.

June 22nd of 2020, if I said that wrong. It announced today the unsealing of an indictment charging Ethan Melzer, 22 of Louisville, Kentucky, for allegedly planning an attack on his US Army unit by sending sensitive documents about the unit. Including information about its locations, movements, and security to members of an extremist organization named the Order of Nine Angels.

An occult-based neo-Nazi and white supremacist group. That is who is now endorsing Biden Harris, but maybe not for reasons you suspect. Maybe there's a lot more to this story that is imperative that we cover. In some ways, I'm actually going to defend Biden Harris on this one a bit.

I know that should be shocking. But again, probably not for the reasons you think. But you should know me by now, I would never represent anything like this, nor support anything like this. I would always stand against it. I would stand against evil.

It's what we all do on a daily basis. So I don't care who evil is coming after, it is my job to help defend it. And this is no exception to that story. Because they now endorse the Biden-Harris campaign, but let's read their statement as to why. Politics can be summarized as a net loss.

Actually, let's just highlight this a little bit more. Politics can be summarized as a net loss for humanity. A political system we have adopted out of fear of the others in which the lowest common denominator of opportunism and emotionality triumphs over any kind of leadership. This is the Order of Nine Angels' statement as to the endorsement of Biden Harris in 2024. That being said, democracy is failing. Worldwide, nations are going broke, preparing for war, inundated with refugees, beset by internal refugees, ruled by career psychopaths and perhaps most ominously elected leaders who are associated with foreign powers.

I guess there's a lot of accuracy in most of that statement. This means that the arc of history bends towards the end of democracy and soon everybody right now is probably cheering like, okay, they're on to something. Be careful. The last thing we want right now is one of these Christian Band-Aid do-gooders like Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie, Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis to take over and fix things.

Now, I do hope you know that Vivek Ramaswamy is Hindu and nothing to do with Christianity or Catholicism, just in case you missed that point. So their argument starts to veer off the path just a bit. We want to rush into the abyss so that the end of history can come to its natural terminus and a new dark age will be visited upon the earth. Rewind, let's repeat. We want to rush into the abyss so that the end of history can come to its natural terminus and a new dark age will be visited upon the earth.

Oh, this suddenly just took a much different twist now, didn't it? In this new era, might will make right. The claw and tooth will always be red and blood will cross over land like an ever-flowing stream. The strong will oppress the weak, the weak will die and natural selection will resume. Wow. Okay. Probably slightly different endorsement than you may have believed because who do they think can usher all this in?

Well, they're about to tell you. This can only happen through weak humanist leadership that will stumble its way into war, famine, recession, terrorism, corruption and human misery. The suicides will leave before the battle commence. Only Biden Harris can bring about this advancement of history. And therefore we endorse the Biden Harris campaign in 2024 because we feel that is the leadership necessary to bring the eternal dark abyss. No, you truly can't make this up. It's there before your very eyes. And if you want to back up a little bit further, there is the actual endorsement on the order of nine angels, an endorsement that no one could ever or would ever hope they'd receive.

Man, the Biden Harris 2024 campaign is a catastrophe already. Adding this into the mix and if somebody actually seizes upon news and wants to cover why the order of nine angels supports them, man, they're going to have something to play against them for weeks and months to come. Can't make this up. I mean, that's what you have to read after Christmas. Welcome to our jobs and our life. But it is something we will do nonetheless.

It was actually posted on December 20th and thankfully I didn't read it until after Christmas. Well, we're back. This is Pastor Joe Larson filling in for Pastor Ernie Sanders. Nothing serious. He's just under the weather with a bad flu or cold. I'm not sure. And he's hopefully getting some recuperative sleep tonight.

I'm filling in. So to continue along the vein of what I've been talking about all night, excuse me a minute, the Christmas season. There were some Christmas stories, kind of sad, but it's the kind of thing that's happening at the end of the church age. Christian magazine ridiculed after insisting Jesus was Asian. Yeah, we have a Christian magazine called Christianity Today.

It used to be Christian, long time ago. Published a story how Asian artists pictured Jesus' birth from 1240 to the day. And this writer, Emily Jones, argued Jesus was born in Asia, he was Asian, and they depict a lot of pictures of an Asian Jesus. The idea that he could portray a deeper theological meaning of the universality of Christ's birth. And by representing Jesus as Japanese or Indonesian or Indian, they convey a sense of God's with us-ness for their own communities, for everyone else, the universality of Christ's birth. They went on to explain.

A lot of kickback. Did you guys read the Bible? A Red State columnist, Buzz Patterson, was replying. A couple bloggers, Blasphemy, Jesus was a Jew. And one of the bloggers, Sam will say, it is necessary for our salvation that he is a son of David from the tribe of Judah, born in Bethlehem.

Yes, the scripture had to be fulfilled. Stop this nonsense. He's not European, Asian, Palestinian, black. He's a Jew, king of the Jews, and savior of the world. And a pastor with an Asian name I can't pronounce said, I'm Asian, Jesus was not. Nevertheless, Jesus is my Lord, and his sacrifice granted me the right to become a child of God, and that is all that matters to me. And then I saw a little piece of Father Edward Beck was running around talking about Jesus was a Palestinian Jew, born in a time when his country was occupied, and he tried to make it combined with what's going on in Israel today.

Kind of a sad, what they're having, what they're trying to do. Now, for years, pastor, or way back, probably what, 40 years ago, Pastor Ernie warned you about school, getting your child into Christian school, home school, away from the influences of the world. Well, now you have to be very careful. There's a pro-life generation that's been celebrating about 700 Christian colleges and universities across the country who uphold basic biblical principle that life begins at conception, they don't promote planned predators or the abortion industry, and yet things are changing. They found out now that according to their findings, 76 or 1 in 10 Christian schools are maintaining some type of relationship with planned predators, with the abortion industry. And, you know, if you think about it, planned predators sells the most abortions compared with any other vendor in the U.S., and often they set up shop in college towns, you know, within just a few miles of a college campus. That's no shock.

It's either that or in the middle of a minority community. So there's a growing number now of Christian school administrators and professors willing to compromise the biblical values by supporting or advertising the abortion industry in a Christian school. Now, if you want a full list of these schools, I'm going to read a few things, but what I'm doing is get a pencil, paper, pen and paper, something to write on. There's a full list of the schools and why each received the infraction.

They broke things down into kind of mildly bad, very bad, you know, to very bad. And you can find this at the, you know, that HTTP, www thing, you all know that. It's the Institute for Pro-Life Advancement.org, the Institute for Pro-Life Advancement.org. And it's in a article, the Christian Schools White Paper Final PDF. That's all hyphened. Christian-Schools-White-Paper-Final-PDF. I'll repeat that one more time here in a minute.

Some of you are still probably trying to grab a pen. But what they've nicely done is broken things down. They've got an infraction school list, all schools with one or more references to planned predators or abortion as of December 2023.

Those are the B grade. And as I was looking, boy, there are a lot of churches. United Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic, Quaker, Jesuit Catholic, Church of the Brethren.

But it's interesting, the churches that keep popping up, Presbyterian, Catholic, Methodist, Episcopal, and United Church. Okay. All right. Those are the bad ones on the B list. The C list are schools with two infractions.

And again, it's a repeat. United Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian Church. These are the churches that are affiliated with the college. Blackburn College is Presbyterian. Excuse me. Sorry, I had to hit the sneeze button again.

I've had allergies all day. These different colleges, like Boston College is Catholic. This one, Boston, had two. But all of these are tied to Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Catholic, or United Church of Christ. And there's a couple that are Church of the Brethren.

But most are just, I hate to say it, you kind of go down the list. Presbyterian, Presbyterian, United Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic, Disciple of Christ, United Methodist. Then the churches with three infractions. Angus Scott College, Presbyterian, Albright, United Methodist, Birmingham Southern College, Methodist, Cornell College, United Methodist, Dillard University, United Methodist, United Church of Christ. Drury, Churches of Christ, Gettysburg, Lutheran, Hamline University, United Methodist. You begin to see a picture here, folks.

Down the list then, they have a F grade, total failure, four or more infractions. And I bet you've already guessed where I'm going. The universities, the names change like Duke, United Methodist, Emory University, Methodist, Mullenberg College, Lutheran, Oklahoma City University, Methodist, United Methodist, Roanoke, Lutheran, Southern Methodist University, Texas Methodist, St. Olaf, Lutheran, Virginia and Wesley, United Methodist, Wittenberg University, Lutheran. So what I'm going to do is give you this information one more time where you can find this. In fact, you might write it down. You might not even have a son or daughter going off to college at a Christian university.

But maybe there are people at your church, at your work, family, other family members. So where do you get this report and proof of these infractions documents? It came from the Devatory Institute for Pro-Life Advancement and it was on the https www.instituteforprolifedvancement.org. www.instituteforprolifedvancement.org. And it had a lot of stuff it can't, but if you put down Christian-schools-white-paper-final-pdf.

Christian-schools-white-paper-final-pdf, you will probably find it. And I'm going to try and give this information to the office tomorrow. And if you later on can't get it, I'm sure we can figure out a way to get it to the office. And the phone number there is 440-338-1367.

It might take a couple days to get it to the staff there. Remember, everyone's a volunteer. We have no paid people in this ministry. We all donate our own time, talent, treasure to the ministry. Now, as I was reading this Christian training in these schools, I want to remind you back about the story I told the tale of two men and their families, Jonathan Edwards and his wife, Sarah Edwards and their children. How many wonderful people they passed on their Christian faith, the godly thoughts. So if our Christian universities are promoting things like abortion, the killing of life made in the image of God, we better not be sending our children there.

They're more likely to end up like the Jukes family. And now, the other big attack, and we should have all seen this coming. Just before Christmas, there was a couple of PhDs, Lisa Anderson and Lauren Bialystock, another PhD, presented a webinar at the National Sex Ed Conference called Parents, Should Parents Have Rights and Sex Education? No, it insinuated that the very concept of parental rights was questionable at best, and that parents must share their authority over their children with the so-called stakeholders.

Stakeholders are teachers and the government. We must share the authority of our children. Hmm, not quite what the Bible tells us.

In fact, it's diametrically opposite of what God says, what God teaches. So here we have this National Sex Ed Conference, and it was a project of the Center for Sex Education. Oh, it's operated by Planned Predators, the most evil, wicked group out there, of northern, central, and southern New Jersey.

And guess what? The executive director, Bill Tavener, it's kind of a real controversial history. He's advocated for exposing children to pornography. He's arguing that children are sexual beings and should be exposed to pornography, to sex, because they're sexual beings, and therefore they have the right to see these things, to understand their sexuality, to be able to choose.

Brilliant, right? Children take away their innocence. They don't need their innocence. All they need is to know more about sex. Yeah, and thinking about this just aggravates me to no end. But anyway, Lisa Anderson has recommended this very sexually explicit book. I would call it pornographic. It's perfectly normal. Now this book was written by a former Planned Predators National Board of Advocates member. This book is for children ages 10 to 14. If you see this book, it's perfectly normal. Grab it, burn it, get it away from your children. Do not let them see it.

If it's at your school library, protest. Tell them to put it on the adult section. This is not a book for children. It's pornographic. If adults want to read pornography, I guess in America we have freedom of choice, but children shouldn't be influenced. And she's also recommended children go to this pro-abortion, semi-pornographic animated sex ed website called Amaze that's supposed to be for children 14 and up. But Lisa Anderson, PhD, piled higher and deeper, says, oh, the site is great for younger kids, too.

She would just have your children, if they're old enough to be able to read and see dirty pictures, go to it. So basically, this whole webinar has a history, the people there, of promoting sexual explicit contact being good for your children and everybody involved, you know, likewise. And so they called parents. Anderson came out and called parents and said, you're paranoid and concerned parents are really just trying to trap or catch sex educators, people that are sincerely advocating for their children's best interest. And she said the idea of family stability is essential to national societal stability, and it's outright weird. It's a conspiracy if you think that family stability is important. Yeah, she calls it weird, a conspiracy, and yet history, especially go back to the story of, like I said, I'll go back to that tale with two families, Sarah Jonathan and Sarah Edwards and their children against the jukes, you know, the Edwards family history, the vice presidents, senators, governors, mayors, college presidents, judges, professors, office holders, lawyers, missionaries, hundreds of them, and the jukes family, you know, this guy unmarried, 42 different last names, murderers, thieves, whores, convicts, paupers, people in the poorhouse. And yet here they're saying that family stability doesn't matter.

Family stability doesn't matter. And it just, as I read through this thing, and she says basically here, one of the other teachers there, this Lauren Bailestock, parent advocates are devious, we're dangerous. Parent rights aren't even real, folks. Did you realize your parental rights are not real? They are not a function of universal human rights in that rights language is a bit forced in parents' cases. Yep, there's something really wrong with us, and we're just out to get those LGBT people, you know, we just hate them, we're out to get them, and parental rights are a cover for trying to unroll decades of progress in LGBTQ inclusion and rights.

It goes on and on and on, pages now. The last thing I want to bring up, they talk about children need to have privacy in their sexual behavior because all children are sexual, and this idea goes back to the work of Alfred Kinsey. And he based his conclusion on children's alleged sexuality on, quote, supposed research that involved the exploits and anecdotes of predatory pedophiles. Yeah, he went and talked to pedophiles who abused children to get information on child sexuality. As one Kinsey critic wrote, looking to sexual molesters for information on childhood sexuality is like drawing conclusions on the sexuality of adult females from the testimony of their rapists. So in spite of this stupid, nonsensical, and very offensive basis, Kinsey's assertions that kids are sexual by nature, well, is widely and critically adopted by today's contemporary sex educators. It's taught in colleges and universities, but what they don't tell you is how Kinsey got his information on child sexuality. I read some stuff I can't read on the radio about the story of this one man, what he was abusing a small child, and when the child cried out or grunted, oh, that was the child enjoying what was happening to him. I'm trying to summarize it without being too offensive. I cried during the reading of it.

I was angry enough I could have choked the man if I'd been close to him. He was abusing a child, and when the child made sounds, he called it sounds of pleasure. And this is the kind of basis that Alfred Kinsey did his research on child sexuality. This is the garbage being taught in our colleges and universities, the lies that are being disseminated.

Yeah, he drew his conclusions on the research of the exploits and anecdotes of pedophiles. What college or university are your children, grandchildren going to? Where are your children being educated? Who is teaching them?

What is their influence? And especially because it's Christmas, the birth of Christ the Savior, who should be the child's teacher? You know, the Bible says the parents are the main teacher. You should be teaching your children from the time they get up to the time they go to bed, to be telling them about the Ten Commandments of God. You are the ones that God gives the authority to raise the children for him, to teach them. And grandparents, I think that pertains to you too.

If we didn't do such a good job with our own children, maybe we can help with our grandchildren. So we're coming up on a short break here. We've got a little bit of music coming. I've got a few different things to go on here after the break. But we're going to be going to a break here in just about 10 seconds, if my time is right. So anyway, can we count it down? We're good to go.

Alright, see you in a short. Music Miracles start here. Miracles start here. You'll take away your sin. Take away your sin. Open up your heart. Open up your heart. Leave your fears behind.

Leave them all behind. You'll be living there. You'll be living there. Until the end of time.

Till the end of time. Music Knock and his door will open. Seek and you will find. Ask and you'll be given.

Eternal life, sublime. He'll be waiting there. He'll be waiting there. His arms open wide.

His arms open wide. Waiting there for you. Waiting there for you. You are why he died.

Why he died. He'll be waiting there. He'll be waiting there. His arms open wide.

His arms open wide. Waiting there for you. Waiting there for you. It was for you and I that he was crucified. Music Welcome back. This is Pastor Joe Larson. I'm sitting in for Pastor Ernie Sanders.

You're listening to What's Right, What's Left of Radium Ministry, the voice of the Christian Resistance. And just to remind you, Pastor Ernie is out with the cold or flu. Nothing serious, but a little prayer is always welcome. And we just hope he is well and back with us very quickly. It's not too bad, but from my understanding there are a lot of people there at the church out sick. And so it's being passed around there in Ohio.

And from what I hear, other parts of the country are having some pretty powerful cold or flu and sickness. And I'm hoping, praying that all of you are doing well out there. I'm going to here in a few minutes take some phone calls, but I want to do one quick story. I wanted to try and do this week a story about Christmas that we can't get into our Christmas special. One of the stories that I like around Christmas time, it's a secular story, but it's also a Christmas story. The duo Paul Harvey, remember Paul Harvey, the rest of the story? Well, this is called The True Story of Rudolph.

You know, the red-nosed reindeer the kids all know about. A man named Bob May was depressed, broken-hearted, staring out of his drafty cold apartment window on a December night. His four-year-old daughter was in his lap sobbing.

His wife, Evelyn, was dying of cancer. Little Barbara couldn't understand why Mommy could never come home. And she looked up in her dad's eyes and asked, Why isn't Mommy just like everybody else's Mommy? Well, Bob's jaw tightened and his eyes welled with tears.

Her question brought waves of grief, but also some anger. It had been the story of Bob's life. Life had always had to be different for Bob. Small when he was a kid, he was bullied by other boys, too little to compete in sports. He was called names he didn't want to remember from childhood.

He was different, never seemed to fit in. He did complete college, and he married this loving wife and was grateful to get a job as a copywriter at Montgomery Ward during the Great Depression. Then he was blessed with his little girl, but short-lived. Evelyn's bout with cancer stripped them of all their savings, and now Bob and his daughter were forced to live in a two-bedroom apartment in the slums of Chicago.

Evelyn died just days before Christmas in 1938. Bob had struggled to give hope to his child, for whom he couldn't even afford to buy a Christmas gift. But if he couldn't buy a gift, he was determined to make one, a storybook. Bob created a character in his own mind, an animal character, and told the animal story to little Barbara to give her comfort and hope. Again and again, Bob told the story, embellishing it more with each telling. Who was the character? What was the story about? The story Bob May created was his own autobiography in a fable form.

The character he created was a mid-fit outcast like he was. The name of the character? A little reindeer named Rudolph with a big shiny nose. Bob finished the book just in time to give it to his little girl on Christmas Day. But the story doesn't end there.

In fact, it almost begins. The gentle manager, Monkey Ward, Montgomery Ward, caught wind of the little storybook and offered Bob May a nominal fee to purchase the rights to print the book. Wards went to print Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and distribute it to children visiting Santa Claus and all the stores. By 1946, Wards had printed and distributed more than six million copies of Rudolph. The same year, a major publisher wanted to purchase the rights from Wards to print an updated version of the book.

In an unprecedented gesture of kindness, the CEO of Wards returned all rights back to Bob May. The book became a bestseller. Many toy and marketing deals followed, and Bob May, now remarried with a growing family, became wealthy from the story he created to give comfort to his grieving daughter.

But the story doesn't end there either. Bob's brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, made up a song adaptation to Rudolph. Though the song was turned down by such popular vocalists as Bill Cosby, Dinah Shore, it was recorded by a singing cowboy, Gene Autry. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was released in 1949.

It became a phenomenal success selling more records than any other Christmas song with the exception of White Christmas. The gift of love that Bob May created for his daughter so long ago kept on returning back to bless him again and again. And Bob May learned a lesson, just like his dear friend Rudolph, that being different isn't so bad. In fact, being different can be a real blessing. Now you know the rest of that story.

And style fits all right. I'll take a few phone calls, but phone calls from people who want to discuss, especially that tale of two men and their families, and how it made them feel about Christmas and their family, and about their children, and about the future. So if you want to discuss that, please call in and call in at 888-677-9673.

I didn't hear Stiles yell at me not to. So, 1-888-677-9673. We'll be talking with Pastor Joe Larson, sitting in for Pastor Ernie Sanders, and we are the voice of the Christian resistance, and glad to be with you this holy week.

They keep trying to say holiday, but holidays came from holy days, and of course to make it secular for the world, they call it holiday instead of holy days. While we're waiting to see if I get some people calling in to talk to me about that story, I have the U.S. Army is grappling with a recruiting crisis. One Army vet says he knows why. The military missed its goals for this year by 41,000, and faces a recruiting crisis into the next year. And of course they've been having governments looking at the reason, and they're talking about, well, today's youth aren't qualified for service without a waiver because of crime, drug, or being overweight. And they say young people are not rejecting the service.

It's a challenge they're not even thinking about, according to one of the government officials. Yes. We have a caller. We have Austin on the line.

Austin, welcome to the program. Are you guys listening? Yeah, how you doing? I'm doing wonderful. How about you? Oh, I'm fantastic.

I'm fantastic. I've lost my life recently. And sitting around, getting real deep into thought, and I like listening to you talk.

I've had a couple of little epiphanies. I like the message y'all have, and I love that most of it's positive, but it's like little subtle hints of negativity, and we need to get all the doctrines of the Christian faith. Sit around the table. Give them the talking together.

Tell them don't raise your voice. Actually talk. Get it out there. Yeah, families need to be doing that, talking, teaching. We need to be talking to our brothers and sisters.

Too many of us live lives on a cell phone or on Facebook and don't have relationships. Yes, sir. I'm probably one of the most loyal dogs you'd ever want to meet. I'm sorry to say that. I didn't quite catch it.

No, I said I'm probably one of the most loyal dogs you'd ever want to meet. Family is very important to me. They do need to be getting together and talking. Amen. God gives us people and tells us to be what? Love them, be nice to them, especially family. We're to love everyone, but be especially nice to family. The more we bring the Lord into it and have our relationships with one another based on what? Jesus.

They've got to be good. Once we get the doctrines of Christian faith, you know, kind of seeing eye to eye, that'd be kind of awesome. But then, you know, listening to, you know, the best and the brightest of, you know, the Islamic religion, the Hindu religion.

It's just pagans. There's some good-hearted souls in all of that. Well, all religions teach something good as the basis. The trouble is, Jesus made a pretty claim. There's only one way to God the Father, and that's through the Son of God. And if you don't go through Jesus the Son of God, you can never get to him. So all the good things in the world won't make a difference with salvation. Salvation only comes through Christ Jesus, and whether the world likes it or not, God said that is the way.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no man cometh unto the Father except by me. I didn't hear anybody make their friend saying, I don't like your friend. And he's like, hey, your friend's kind of weird, but do y'all want to hang out? I've seen some amazing bonds and friendships happen that way. But if those friends are Christian, yeah, but you've got to be careful those friends aren't Christian.

They lead people away from Christ. I've seen that. I have. I have dealt with that. That is a big truth in the world. It's not a case of you're judged by your friends.

You surround yourself with friends who are Christ-oriented, and that helps protect and keep you in the faith. And each religion as well. I suppose you get away with that. Just dial it down, everybody sit around and talk friendly to each other.

Well, the world would be a lot more peaceful place. I thank you for calling, appreciate it, and we'll see if there's anybody else who wants to call in and talk about this family and their influence on the world. Thank you for calling. Stiles, anybody else on the line? That is all for the moment.

All for the moment. Okay. I was mentioning that our military, they're not getting the people in that they had hoped. And one of the big problems, they were saying, well, the world, the young people don't know about the service and all that.

Here again, you have the government just not getting it at all. And Jake Beckett, I think I said that right, he's a veteran, former football player in the NFL, said it was kind of painful hearing the statistics about recruiting because being a former veteran himself, he said he would lay, wouldn't lie. He would lay a lot of blame on America's youth, like the government does, but place it on the Democrats and people on the left for what? Downgrading, insulting, and frankly, the people from middle America. He said from Hillary Clinton calling them deplorables to Joe Biden calling them mega-Americans, he said it's the government that's putting these people down. And he said, he's a former Arkansas Senate candidate, added that people from red and rural states, or what he calls the good old boys, are the people who do a lot of the bleeding and sweating and living and dying in the U.S. military for many generations of our proud military history.

And folks, he is spot on. Jake is spot on because for most of the history, it's been the country kids, the rural Americans, the Bible Belt folks, the red and rural states who have been the mainstay of the U.S. military. And DeGette said it shouldn't be surprising when multi-generational military families are now choosing different career paths because some of the people in government are denigrating them.

Well, it started when they told them they had to take the poison poke and they started wouldn't allow them to have a Christian exemption for their faith. And he's arguing that this education plays, back to education, plays a role in shaping young people's perception of not only the military and the country. So, you know, what they're taught in school affects your perception of the whole world, the country and the military. And he said, in our education system today, so few young people are hearing the real history. Yes, Kyle?

Five minutes. Thank you. He said, you know, they're hearing our American heroes being represented as evil racists and, you know, people who were doing all these terrible things to disadvantage people. And that really, I think, is shaping the views of America's youth, making them have less respect for our institutions, less respect for history, and therefore making them less liable to, you know, want to put their highest potential on the line to serve in the country's military. Yes, I agree with him. I agree with him.

The government doesn't know what's going on, why people aren't joining, but we do. We understand why. And it's been the men from the Bible Belt that have been the background of the military.

So it's that time in the program where the most important thing we do, something some people don't like, but we always do an invitation. Because the most important thing that any pastor can do, any person can do, and you're supposed to be doing it too when you have the chance, to lead people to the Lord. You see, Jesus Christ wants to save your soul. He wants to give you eternal life. He doesn't want you to be persuaded by a world of sin, a world of indifference. You can't save yourself. You need to be saved.

You need to have your sins forgiven. You see, there's no other way that God has provided to obtain eternal life. You can't get it through church membership. Baptism won't do it. Living a moral life won't do it.

Giving your money to the poor won't do it. Even having faith won't do it. The only thing that'll do it is you're praying to Jesus Christ to save you.

So, wherever you are right now, whatever you're doing, stop and listen to me. You need to talk to God in your own words from your heart. You need to tell Him that you realize you're a sinner. You need to tell God that you're sorry for your sins and that your sins have put Jesus on that cross and you want to be forgiven. You need to ask God that you want to be washed by the blood of the Lamb, the blood that Jesus Christ shed for you on the cross.

You don't want to risk eternity in hell. So what you do is you go along with me, Dear Father God, I am sorry. I am so sorry that my sins placed your Son upon the cross at Calvary.

I ask you to forgive me. I ask you to have Jesus be the Lord of my life, all of my life. I want to be washed by the blood of the Lamb.

I want to become one of yours. I want to become a child of the Kingdom. And Jesus Christ Himself will send you the Holy Spirit of God as your down payment on eternal life. And you will become that new creature, that new creation, joined here with Jesus in everlasting life. The greatest decision you'll ever make is where you will spend eternity in heaven or hell. God gives you the choice. You can ignore Him and live with the consequences or you can believe in Him and stay in heaven for eternity with Jesus and the rest of the saints. So it's getting near that time where we got how many minutes left, Val?

45 seconds. Make that decision tonight. Pray to the Lord. Call upon His name and be saved. This is about that time of night where we tell you that good night and we tell you may God bless you. And then along with this we've been saying Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. And then we end with saying and always, always, always, and we do mean always, keep fighting the fight, that good fight of faith. This is Pastor Joe until tomorrow. Good night and God bless.
