And tonight we have, boy do we have a lot. And so we're going to start with our producer who's none other than the amazing Kenny. Hey Kenny.
Good evening Pastor. Yeah, you got to join in Joe and I tonight because you know why Kenny? Joe says he's going to run the show tonight so he wants you and I just to sit back and learn. So he's behind the wheel. Yeah.
He's our Uber driver tonight. All right. Pastor Joe, we'll do that, but first of all you got to answer your question because you see, when I was at the fair today and I walked through the building where they had all these cows in this building, and as I was walking through there this young woman said to me, Mr., and I said yes young lady, she says, can you tell me what you call a cow with no legs? And I thought, boy, this is embarrassing.
I don't want to look stupid. If Joe was here, Joe lives on a ranch, he wouldn't know. So I'm asking you Joe the question, and you too Kenny, what do you call a cow with no legs? Steak. Yep.
I was going to go steak and burger. No, it's called round beef. Round. There you go. That's ground round.
That's profound. Yes, ground round beef. Okay, we missed that part. All right. Yes. I think you and I better, well, occasionally we get a good one in, but I think we ought to stick to Bible studies and preaching.
You know, stick to something we know a little bit about. I was going to say she didn't even ask what kind of cow, you know. No, she just said, why didn't you pick me too, I wonder. I look like the type of person you ask a question like that to, I wonder.
Probably. Thank you, Kenny. I was going to have to do that.
That's a weird guy. He'd probably have an answer come back on that one, yeah. Okay. All righty. Well, you better take us away to your Bible study.
All right. What we're going to do tonight, you know, Labor Day. And I got thinking, Labor Day, about the workmen out. Most everybody talks about Labor Day, the history and all that, but tonight's topic, let's say, what are you working for? And who are you working for? And I think too many times people labor out there, like we've talked past Ernie, we meet young people who spend months and months and months planning a wedding, and really don't bother to plan a life together, and then they wonder why everything goes wrong. And I think the same thing applies to the topic tonight, who and what are you working for?
Too many people don't know what they're working for, who they're working for. So let's start in Matthew 11, and what we can do, chapter 11, 25 through 30. I thought, and you can help me on the commentary, we'll go through this, and I guess I can start.
I'll read that first part. At that time, Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father, for it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father, and no man knoweth the Son but the Father.
Neither knoweth any man the Father save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Now this is the key verse. Come unto me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest for your souls. My yoke is easy, my burden is light.
I was thinking you were talking about being on a farm. Well, most people know a yoke is something that's put on draft horses. In the old days, it was put on oxen, and you put a yoke on so that the oxen were hooked together so they would pull in tandem, and two could pull, you know, a tremendous weight. They could pull more than the combined weight that they could each pull alone.
You put them together, they could pull more weight. But the idea this is their labor, and the yoke is kind of one of those things, in fact, men were used to sometimes would put a yoke and pull their own plows. And I got thinking, people are out there laboring. Come unto me, God says, ye who labor. Well, all that labor are heavy laden, aren't they? Work is hard. Ever since we were tossed out of the Garden of Eden, things haven't been easy. You have hard soil and rocks and bugs and ticks and snakes and, you know, labor is, you know, from Adam and Eve, when they were kicked out of the garden, things of making your food until modern days.
And even then, it takes a lot of labor and work to be on a farm or ranch. But God is talking about, we also labor in this world for what? What are we working for? And, you know, we're out there pulling weights.
Why are we, you know? What are we working for and who? And I think one of the things people don't come up with is they get so busy sometimes earning a living.
Some people are trapped. They have a job they hate, they don't like, but they didn't take the time to be educated, get knowledge so they could get a better job. They were drinking, carousing, getting drunk, so they didn't, you know, got a criminal record, so they couldn't do different jobs. And it kind of goes back to a lot of times that moral basis, doesn't it?
Yeah, it does. But, you know, if you go back to that verse 25, the key words in there are wise and prudent. In other words, here he goes to say, O thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and the prudent and has revealed them unto babes. And he's talking about people that, not those that are calculating, strategizing people, but people that are just, you know, that have good hearts.
And, well, I hate to say the word innocent, but what he's telling you is whatever we receive from God's word, whatever we receive right here from this Bible, as long as we believe and trust, like little children is what he's saying, this is really wisdom. And that wisdom pertains to, again, that question, you know, what are you working for? Is it just, are you working just for money? Are you working for your family? Are you working because you want to be rich and famous?
I mean, there's a lot of things I thought of. People work for different reasons. Some work to give back to the world, like on Mother Teresa.
Some people are working for the Lord. There's a lot of different things. And then one of the key words, and I guess I was going to say it a little later, but I think I'll bring it up now. History tells us in several forms. Freedom, it has been said, is the ability to choose your master, because something in life is going to be our master. We're going to follow our lust. We're going to follow our desires. We're going to, you know, something will be the most important thing in our life.
That will determine in a way what we're working for and who we're working for, correct? Yep. What do you think of that, Kenny? Do you buy that? I'm sorry, I was taking a call.
Someone called in, Pastor Hal called in, said that at 97.7 it was cutting out for a little bit, so I missed what you were saying there. Oh, historically, several people have said this line. I don't know who originated, but freedom is the ability to choose what will be your master. And I'm thinking right there, something will control us, our sexual desires, our desires for wealth, power, fame, our desires to serve God. I mean, we will get to choose what we will have to be our master, but something will control us in life. Yeah. And I think that goes back to too many people, I don't think, realize that something will control them.
They think they're totally in control. No, no, no. No. No, we have absolutely no control. I mean, we've got some control, but in the grand scheme of things, we really have no control. Well, God gives us different talents, right? Yes. I mean, I'm not going to be an opera singer if you don't have that kind of voice.
You can try, but I would advise against it. My father couldn't carry a tune if his life depended on it, so I mean, he automatically wasn't going to be an opera singer. Some people have no mechanical ability.
Seeing that, they're not able to fix anything, so they're not going to be a mechanic. First, we were given a skill set, but who did we get it from? The Lord, right?
And then we get to choose. We have all these things that drive people. Some people need fame and fortune. They go to Hollywood, they've got to be famous. They want a lot of applause, attention. They want public acclaim that drives them to do something because they need that something in their life.
They need that adoration, yes. Most people realize we have missing something when we're born. God created in all of us a need for Him.
I mean, we need Him. We need to know Him, we need to love Him, we have a need to find our Creator, our God. And people search to fulfill that with drinking, sex, whatever, power, money, you name it. Any vice, yeah.
Yeah, so we've all got that. So let's look at Leviticus 26.13. I am the Lord your God, which has brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondsmen, for I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you go upright. They had the yoke of bondage, right? Now we were talking in Matthew, we talked about Jesus said, My yoke is easy. That yoke is, you know, symbolic of we are pulling something, we are striving, and the Lord said, you know, that yoke can also be something that imprisons you. The Lord's yoke is easy, but many of the yokes we put on ourself are very heavy, very draining of what, heart, soul? Would you agree with that, Pastor? Many people forge their own yoke, put themselves in their own bondage?
Well, that's what he's speaking about here. The whole point is all these awful judgments prophesied here in Leviticus, you know, 26 all the way through 16 through 39, all had to do with the disobedience that Israel, they broke the covenant with the Lord. So the yoke, okay, that he put upon them was his judgment.
Exactly, and that kind of sounds like to me what is happening to America. We are, have a yoke placed upon us, I think because we have been under judgment, but God had several things like thou shall not, cannot, must not, will not shed innocent blood, and what have we done? We have murdered well over a million innocent children in the womb, and the country thinks God is not going to bring judgment for that behavior, let alone some of the other horrible things that have been committed. I had a lady come to me today, and she says, God must have tears coming down his eyes because of what they did at the Democratic Communist Party convention, giving away free baby kills, killing babies, and I said, no.
I said, he's not crying. God is, this country is standing in the shadow of a holy, a righteous God, and he is an angry God. In fact, the Bible says God is angry with the wicked every day. But you don't think it hurts him a bit to see a beautiful creation of his murdered in the womb? Well, he knew it was going to happen. He knew it was coming.
And that they're celebrating it, too, on top of it. Yeah, that anger that you and I have, that righteous anger, it never goes away. It's called a righteous indignation, but you see, God knows their judgment. I mean, you see, being a holy and a just God, you've got to punish sin, and what he is seeing is justice. He's going to see his justice take place upon these wicked people, and I had more people coming up for me, asking me over and over and over, Pastor, how can these people be so cruel? How can they be so wicked?
Have you ever seen anything like this before? And here they're bragging, they're telling these wicked, unclean, very unclean, very unclean, wicked women to brag about their baby kills, about killing their babies. Yeah. Shout it. Shout it.
Be proud of it. Yep. Yeah. Well, next verse is Galatians 5, 1. Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. And there again, this is how we get away from that yoke of sin, right? Where we're held in bondage to sin. There's only one way to be free, and that is through Christ. That's why they call him the Savior, right?
Right. Then I had, I'm going to skip, I'm just going to mention, I was looking at the first few verses there in Ecclesiastes, Chapter 1, where the preacher, the son of David King in Jerusalem, says, Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. And he's talking about life without God. He's talking about just the life on this earth.
He's talking about, you know, what profits a man. One generation passes, another comes, the earth goes on forever, the sun rises and sets, and the wind goes about, and the rivers, and everything happens. And from, you know, without God in your life, without your personal relationship with the Savior, your life is vanity. So, but he has an answer for us, and it comes in 2 Corinthians 6, let's do 14 through 18. 2 Corinthians 6, 14 through 18. Be ye not unequally yoked.
There's that word again. God uses that because it sure puts a picture in your mind, together with unbelievers. For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? Ah, for ye are the temple of the living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you, and will be a father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
That, in the end, is the end game, right, to be a son or daughter of the living God, to have that personal relationship, to fill that void that is in all of us. And he starts out by, don't be yoked together, you know, unequally with non-believers. No, not just non-believers.
That's what's happening in our world today, isn't it? Right, but not just, you know, all of those that call themselves believers. For example, you don't really want to be yoked together with those that are involved in the prosperity preaching, those that are involved, you know, where most of the world of the National Council of Churches, they're not Christian. Though, you know, all of these, the United Church of Antichrist, the Episcopal, they've all apostatized.
The Roman Catholic Church for that part, too, has, right? Yeah, and so what he's talking about is fellowship. In other words, he's not saying that you can't attend a baseball game with one of those people or, you know, go to a clam bake, but what he's telling you is definitely not marriage. Right, definitely not marriage, and I would also add, don't bring them into your family, your inner circle, where there's more influence on your family or you than you have on them.
They're to be kept, like you said, you know, maybe a ball game or a fishing trip once a year or something, or you work with them, but you don't put them in your inner circle of close friends. Yeah, well, it's just like, you know, I knew a fellow who was going to go ahead, his friend, his buddy. Brilliant, brilliant. This guy, I'm telling you, he's got a business mind. Yeah, but he's an atheist. He said, you can't go into, you know, it's not going to work out.
Well, you know. Doesn't sound too smart to me. I'm not going to marry this guy. I'm just going into business. Right, a partnership, right.
That's kind of like a marriage in a way, isn't it? He's an honest guy. What does an atheist know about honesty, right? Okay, I mean, so here, you know, any kind of business, any kind of partnership, you don't go there.
Okay, and you definitely never. You have a United Methodist Church close to where I live that commonly has Muslims in their pulpit. You're right. Let's see, somebody who is anti-Christ is going to come to your pulpit.
That is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Right, so, but that's what he's talking about. So he's saying, what concord hath Christ with Belial, or what part with he that believeth with an infidel? Okay, in other words, he says, and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? That's, there you go, that's the whole point he's making, so. The end of the story there, though, is God says what? He wants us to claim our role.
Yep. He wants us to be his sons and daughters. So it's our fellow born-again believers that should be our friends that we should fellowship with, work with, if we can. We need to marry, we need to, these are the people he gives us for those personal relationships that we need in this world.
And then he says what? I will dwell in you, I will walk with you, I will be your God, you will be my sons and daughters, and we choose that freedom. We are free from sin from him. Yeah, before he tells you that, Joe, he says, wherefore come out from among them.
Among them. Now listen, that you be not separate, that you be separate, separate. See, there's a lot of people confuse separatists with supremacists, you know, they're calling us, remember how they called, they were calling us, you know, separatists, fundamentalists, we're fundamentalists, we're separatists. All true Christians are separatists.
But like, remember with Randy Weaver, they kept calling him a supremacist, he wasn't a supremacist, he was a separatist. And the biblically illiterate out there really don't know the difference, okay. But here, now look at what he says here, remember what he's talking about, he's talking about non-believers, and he says, touch not the unclean thing.
He's referring to non-believers, he's referring to the liberals. And so, this is why we just said earlier here, he refers to those women that were bragging about killing their babies, they're unclean, these are unclean people. Kind of like the women on the purview, you stay away from anybody like that. Yeah, those are some nasty vulgar women, boy.
Yeah, I couldn't stand to be with them for two minutes, let alone even think about living with somebody like that. Those women are the ones, let me tell you, you start giving them the word of God, like, okay, this happened at the fair, we have a sign, and the sign says that abortion is not healthcare, it's genocide. And this woman comes up to me, and Pastor Hal was there with me, and she says, I disagree with that sign. She says, abortion is healthcare. I said, God says abortion is murder, right there in Genesis 9, verses 5 through 7. And God says when you kill a baby, you'll burn in hell. Oh, this woman didn't like that at all.
No way. Yeah, they don't want to hear that. No, her face got red as a beat, and then she yelled, somebody should cast her due to. Yeah, right, that was the nicest thing she could think of, right? Right, I said, listen, you need to repent, because I see a really guilty, guilty conscience here.
And boy, with that, she was gone, I mean, she literally ran away. Yeah, they don't want to hear that, they want to make up their own rules. Right, we're just time for one verse. I'm going to end with Deuteronomy 30, 19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. We have choices, and the first choice on that, what we labor and who we labor for and why we labor, we want to labor to choose life, right?
And life everlasting. All right, very good, we'll be back right after this. 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, the will to be free? What of a man who stood straight and tall who wept in silent tears when he saw brave men fall? No matter, no difference, the blue or the gray, all were his brothers.
How often he'd pray. And what 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, who died at the Marne, Soissons, and those who tried the fearful poet Chateau Terry. Who fought and fled, whose hearts grew weary. But in whose minds one thought kept churning, that the torch of liberty keep burning. Why are you marching, son? The plane swarmed in, and the rising sun glowed fiercely on the evil gun, for men whose blood runs through our veins. Men who died, who remains life forever locked in, waters deep. Now is it right that they should sleep while the warms he laughs at the twisted howlin'? See the torch of liberty grow dull? Anzio, Cassino, Poe, St. Mary Glace, Limon, St. Lo, Garda Lake, and Buchenwald. On and on the roll is called.
And why? Why are you marching, son? Bugles shrilled in the frozen night, and at first dawn the awful sight of the seas of men.
Row after row left to die on the blood-stained snow. Busan, Pyongyang, Suwon, Gyeongju, and Blood Red ran the swift Yalu. 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 dear and face freedom's enemies without fear.
Our fathers died from sea to sea and blessed the torch of liberty. Why? Why are you marching, son?
Alrighty, I'm marching because I've got my marching orders and I know where they come from. Sure do. Alright, very good. There you go.
You know what? I promised Wendy I would let her folks know that she's got one more day for her sale. She has a 30% off sale of orders of $70 or more. You know, that's one third off and so in the days that we live in, I have, you would have to take a look at my, it looks like a medicine chest and that's what it is. I have about just about every herb that she makes and I use them and they work, folks.
And right now, we don't know what's happened, what's coming our way and it's good to be prepared with medicine, real medicine from that God gave us, that God gave us and not depend on pharmacure. So, I just let you know she's still having one more day of her sale and that's thepowerherbs.com, www.thepowerherbs.com or 866-229-3663. One more time, 866-229-3663. And I wanted to tell you guys one other thing when I was out to the fair there, I did have this other woman, 99% of the people were very positive. I mean, I had more people just stop by and just say thanks for being here. And this was the Geauga County Fair? Yeah, Ken, there had to be 100,000 people out there.
Try doing that in Cuyahoga, see how many nice people you get. This thing was huge, I mean, okay, yeah, let me tell you. So, she comes through and she says, all right, I understand what you think, but she says, these children that are born with birth defects, they're really not humans and for their own good, you should kill them. Not human, huh?
Yeah. She told that to the wrong person. Well, God doesn't make mistakes, I told her, and I couldn't tell her much more because with that, she's up and out of there in a hurry. You know, the Bible says rebellion is the same as witchcraft, but, you know, people say, why does God allow that? Well, sometimes God allows children to be born that way to give us the opportunity to show those children the love of God and be merciful to them. And that's the reason why God does these things.
Besides that, what does he tell you? Those that have it the worst in this life are going to give it the best in the next life. And the best in the next life. There's a special place for them in heaven. Yep, absolutely. And some of those children I've seen in the Wright families have been happy and have been loved and in that sense have a wonderful life because they've been given a lot of love and attention. And for them, it hasn't been near as bad as it has been for a lot of children who are, quote, normal, right?
Yeah. People don't look at it that way. You know, a lot of normal children grow up without much love, without much attention, guidance. They're not very happy.
They don't feel loved. Which kind of goes in with the big story of the night. You and I both know George Barnum. He's been a Christian out there for many, many years and he is from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University. And he is a veteran researcher and I think he started it, if I'm not mistaken. And he put out a report and it's titled, Shocking Depravity in America Because Evangelicals Are No Longer Evangelicals. And so he's done this report and it kind of backs up, I guess, many of the things we've been trying to tell people for many, many years. We've been saying, this nation's falling away from God. We've been doing almost a blow-by-blow, step-by-step warning, right?
And this kind of cultivated for me and I thought it might help people hear it from somebody else. But the article starts off, in today's depraved America, corrupt politicians, dishonest journalists, media outlets, dishonest media outlets, broken social institutions, immoral religious leaders, unconstitutional government, governmental programs, policies and more. And he said the depth of the depravity in this nation is shocking. The deterioration begs the fundamental question, how did we get here?
What happened to so quickly introduce new philosophies of life and ways of living that radically depart from the historical Judeo-Christian moorings and consensus? And he had an answer and he said, Pastor, the indisputable cultural decline is a direct result of the spiritual collapse of Christianity in the nation. And I thought that would be a good point for me to let you comment right there because that's kind of the key we've been talking about for quite a few years, right? Well, see, George Barnard, he knows the word fundamental. He knows that. In fact, you just read that there. But he doesn't know what a fundamentalist is, okay?
And he misses that occasionally, yes. Well, he seems to miss this all the time and I know that fundamentalists are, you know, we are small in number. We're very small in number, but what fundamentalists are are the people that hold to the Bible, those that hold to the word of God, that really walk the walk. And, you know, where, you know, with us evangelicals are virtually, you know, it's like Christianity light in a sense. You know, we're more, very more conservative, hold to the fundamentals, you know, of the faith and with us without compromise.
We're not into compromise. But here's the other point that he misses. He's right when he says here about Christianity, he goes on to say, and according to the veteran research George Barnard, the indisputable culture decline is a direct result of spiritual collapse of Christianity in the nation. But what he's not telling you is here, where does that? We know that judgment begins in the house of the Lord. And in that house, it's in the pulpit. It's in the pulpit.
And this is where he misses, okay? You know, it's the pastor's job to lead. See what a shepherd does? The shepherd gets out in front of the sheep, right? He leads the sheep.
And so there's where the damage has been done. There's where God has been so dishonored. It's from the pulpit because the shepherds are supposed to be bold and righteous. Remember what Spurgeon said? He had a quote, and that quote I believe was, well, yeah, here it is. He said, bold-hearted men are always called mean-spirited by cowards. By the cowards, exactly. And, you know, I'm going to be preaching on this week, you know, starting tomorrow, and some commentary on that.
But this is what Barna needs to go after, the fact that the preachers are the ones that, the pastors, are the ones that have dishonored. They've failed to lead. And for how many years? 50 years I've been preaching on this. 50 years.
And what have we had over the years? You know, I actually got more criticism from these prissy preachers often than I did from those of, you know, the liberal opposition. And, you know, I've heard them say that if he keeps doing this, in other words, exposing the corrupt courts, the corrupt judicial, exposing the bloody abortion mills, if he keeps doing that, he's going to bring the government down on all of us. And they've said that the people, not just me, other bold preachers like yourself, Joe, and... And a lot of good friends of ours, yep. Right. And if they continue this, our people will expect us to do the same thing.
That was kind of the idea, right? We're out leading, saying, follow us, come, we'll run into the battle, come with us. Right. And so, you know, that's, remember, what the Democrats, or what the rhinos were saying about President Trump. The rhinos were saying, you know, if he actually does what he promises to do, then our people will expect us to do the same thing.
Our constituents will expect us to keep our promises. And it was like, oh my gosh. Imagine that. What a novel idea.
What a thought, right? Well, right here is a good point. One of the next things he comes up with, he said, In reality, evangelicals are far fewer in number than typically reported, and often are far less biblical in their thinking than one might think. In fact, he said, evangelicals choose lifestyles that are largely similar to that of their neighbors, quote, who are not. So this is that group of Christians light, but even this group of Christian light is far less, far fewer than people have thought, reported. And what amazed when he did his survey is, and these people can't see it in their self, but their lifestyles are just like their unsaved neighbors. These people are not even saved. A lot of evangelicals are not born-again believers. They call themselves Christians, but most of them are not born-again.
And in their neighborhoods, they mix right in with everybody else, and you can't tell one from another. We have mentioned on this program, I think, in other ways, right? I actually had a guy tell me that he goes to one of the megachurches, the country club churches, and the reason he goes to this megachurch, he says, Because we can sit in there, we can mix in, we don't have to worry about us being singled out and having people ask us to do things we don't want to do. In other words, like to be a doer of the word and not a hearer only, okay? So in other words, we can go and very comfortably be entertained, and then, you know, we appear. You know, we went to church, we let our neighbors know, we go to church, see, just like you do. Yeah, right, we're good people, we're Christians, yeah.
Just don't ask us to do anything like, well, like going out and protesting child killing or going to the prisons, defeating the hungry. You know, we'll give that our Sunday morning, besides that, you know, the status, we have a nice, look at, our church has a golf course. We've got a movie theater, we've got a pool, I'm not kidding you. No, we saw, I saw one with, when I was in San Diego, that was a bunch of good people. We were at this one church, they had a Starbucks coffee, they had a small movie theater, they had a gym. This is at a church. And this was all in the church, it was a gated church, but when we looked at their church bulletin, there was nothing that was a Christian activity. It was all about the fun things, they had a church that were totally secular. You just described the status back. No Christian mission whatsoever.
Where was the casino? That they didn't have, but they had everything but. Not yet. I mean, if you have Starbucks coffee in your church, but what you just said, Pastor, fits the next line of the story I was telling here. He said, surprisingly, to me not, but most evangelicals don't have a biblical worldview, in fact only about a third of them do. And he said the data suggests that these Christian lights are more likely to be shaped by the culture than they are to influence or evangelize to the culture. So they call themselves an evangelical Christian, but they're not out really witnessing or testifying, and they don't have a Christian worldview. So if you don't have a Christian worldview, you have a secular worldview, because that's the fallback position, right?
Right. So as I went through this, and he finally said, and this was the shocking part, the American World View Inventory of 2024 suggested only 10% of adults qualify as evangelicals using survey data consistent with their own description of what makes a evangelical Christian. And that's scary, because those of us that are born again, we must be way under that 10%, right? Well, the Lord Jesus said this. He said, many are called, but few, few are chosen.
Okay. And so if you take a look at how he deals with the nation of Israel, one-third of them are going to be saved, two-thirds are going to be destroyed. And so, you know, and God is immutable, he does things the same way, and my guess is he's going to be dealing with what is called the church the same way. And this is why, how many times have we preached on make your salvation sure, make your salvation sure, because the vast majority of people out there are going to hear these words, Get thee behind me, you worker of iniquity, for I never knew you.
And so that's just the reality, that's what's going to happen, the majority of the people who have a profession of faith do not have a possession of salvation. Well, this made me think of, in Isaiah chapter 1, the subtitle in the King James Bible is, The Wickedness of Judah, and I always often, I shouldn't say always, but often my brain says, the wickedness of America, substitute, and it works perfectly. And he said, Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
And boy, is that what's happening in this country, right? And it goes down, he says in verse 7, Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire, your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate as overthrown by strangers. We see right now the fires in all the cities, the rebellion that went on, the burning Antifa, the anti-Christ fight we went through. We see all these millions and millions of illegals that are coming that are just overflowing the land, overtaken by strangers. And I just, I thought of that, the wickedness of America, God is, the judgment is here, God has already brought it on this country, and yet, I wonder how many of the 300, what is it supposedly, 330-40,000 pastors, priests in the country, I wonder how many of them have ever said, I think the Lord is bringing judgment on America.
I don't know, but I do know that the Black Grove Regiment, we're a real minority. And you know, I mean, if we had not been a minority, if it hadn't, if the pastors had really done what they said, you know, what they were called to do, if they had been for real, and had had courage, then when God was expelled from the public school, they would have marched on Washington, D.C. and put that court, it was their responsibility to put that court on trial for treason. But they failed. Well, even if they couldn't have gone to Washington, if they had all gone to their state capitals and kind of shut down the state capitals across the country, I mean, there's so many ways they could have spoken out and done something, and by going to the state capitals and just creating havoc there, they would have had news and press, local and national, I mean, this country could have just been brought to a standstill if just the pastors had gone. You know, there's enough pastors in Missouri to shut down the capital of Just City, let alone if they brought their family, their friends or congregations. And yet, nothing happened, right? Well, just imagine if 30,000 pastors had marched on D.C. and brought their congregations, then, see, one thing about politicians, they can count.
Yeah. And so, you know, they're looking at those votes. Speaking of that, there's, as you know, the very, very, very completely extreme corrupt Harris-Biden regime. They are doing something that we talked about here. The Department of Justice or Injustice is hiring thousands of lawyers, thousands of lawyers. And what they're doing is they're trying to make this leak, some real judicial treason, high treason.
Treason. They're trying to make the hiring of these lawyers as permanent. Where they can't be fired.
Right, where they can't be fired. And they have asked, they've requested that we keep telling people. So, Joe, when we come back from the break, we should play that clip again so people can hear it and be aware of what's happening. And also, I heard people, I mean, getting, it's early this morning, calls from people telling me that Governor DeWine is signing a bill that will allow green card holders and illegal aliens to vote in Ohio. Oh, no.
Yeah, I'm trying to run that down. I hope not because that's what the left is counting on, those, you know, 15 to 40 million illegals, you know, the adults. That's why they had the motor voter and that's why these people are letting them file for Social Security benefits. Different states are letting them vote in local elections. They're letting them register to vote.
We've talked about all these different things. The Constitution says they have to be... That's what they're counting on to swing the election is all those illegal votes. Right, I know.
So, this is what I'm going to have to try to run down tomorrow. But, meanwhile, we need to play this clip again because we're working on, there's a big investigation here in Ohio into this algorithm thing. And they realize that the ones that are behind it is like the CIA. They're behind this, working against us. And those are the real, you know, all the intelligence. Remember the 51 intelligence professionals, Russian disinformation?
So, we know our intelligence community is corrupt. Okay, we'll be back right after this. Don't go away. Thank you for listening to What's Right, What's Left, the voice of the Christian resistance.
