Why is america imploding from within?
00:00:41.568 --> 00:00:42.802
From within? why the violence?
00:00:42.869 --> 00:00:44.671

If they're supposed to be a boy or a girl.
00:01:00.753 --> 00:01:03.189
To be a boy or a girl. this is moral madness.
00:01:03.256 --> 00:01:05.225
This is moral madness. it is demonic.
00:01:05.291 --> 00:01:06.993
It is demonic. this is a rebellion against

America is collapsing
00:01:23.176 --> 00:01:24.177
America is collapsing because the people have
00:01:24.244 --> 00:01:25.345
Because the people have forgotten the god of the bible.
00:01:25.411 --> 00:01:28.014

Now i'm gonna let you experience your own choices.
00:01:52.605 --> 00:01:55.575
Experience your own choices. it's time for heaven to hear
00:01:55.642 --> 00:01:57.477
It's time for heaven to hear a time of repentance and then
00:01:57.544 --> 00:01:59.379
A time of repentance and then a time of restoration,
00:01:59.445 --> 00:02:01.147
A time of restoration, and that must happen
00:02:01.214 --> 00:02:02.382

Psalms 127:3 says, "behold, children are
00:06:17.270 --> 00:06:18.871
"behold, children are a gift of the lord,
00:06:18.938 --> 00:06:20.072
A gift of the lord, the fruit of the womb
00:06:20.139 --> 00:06:21.340
The fruit of the womb is his reward."
00:06:21.407 --> 00:06:22.875
Is his reward." for 50 years,
00:06:22.942 --> 00:06:23.843
For 50 years, america, through abortion,
00:06:23.910 --> 00:06:25.812
America, through abortion, has flushed the gift of god
00:06:25.878 --> 00:06:28.347
Has flushed the gift of god down the drain in america's

Abortion clinics. america has murdered 64 million
00:06:31.918 --> 00:06:34.020
America has murdered 64 million babies and slaughtered,
00:06:34.086 --> 00:06:35.655
Babies and slaughtered, on the altar of self,
00:06:35.721 --> 00:06:37.890
On the altar of self, those babies
00:06:37.957 --> 00:06:38.991
Those babies for the gratification
00:06:39.058 --> 00:06:40.526
For the gratification of a selfish woman.
00:06:40.593 --> 00:06:42.595
Of a selfish woman. america's reward,
00:06:42.662 --> 00:06:44.297
America's reward, with our open borders,
00:06:44.363 --> 00:06:45.565
With our open borders, we are now being invaded
00:06:45.631 --> 00:06:47.099
We are now being invaded by millions of terrorists,
00:06:47.166 --> 00:06:48.768

Pay day has arrived for the united states of america.
00:06:53.372 --> 00:06:55.274
The united states of america. we threw away our treasure,
00:06:55.341 --> 00:06:57.510
We threw away our treasure, and we are now embracing
00:06:57.577 --> 00:06:59.312
And we are now embracing the trash.
00:06:59.378 --> 00:07:00.313
The trash. it's time to get leadership
00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:01.848
It's time to get leadership in washington to get the trash
00:07:01.914 --> 00:07:03.816
In washington to get the trash back out of america
00:07:03.883 --> 00:07:05.318
Back out of america to where they came from.

Eighty percent of america's young people in prison
00:07:16.896 --> 00:07:18.698
Young people in prison came from fatherless homes.
00:07:18.764 --> 00:07:23.603
Came from fatherless homes. we are now being labeled
00:07:23.669 --> 00:07:25.071
We are now being labeled "the fatherless generation."
00:07:25.137 --> 00:07:27.406
"the fatherless generation." ephesians 6:4 throws in
00:07:27.473 --> 00:07:29.609
Ephesians 6:4 throws in about this issue.
00:07:29.675 --> 00:07:31.277
About this issue. paul writes,
00:07:31.344 --> 00:07:32.278
Paul writes, "and you fathers,"
00:07:32.345 --> 00:07:34.113
"and you fathers," not pastors,
00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:35.581
Not pastors, not boy scout leaders,
00:07:35.648 --> 00:07:37.350
Not boy scout leaders, not coaches of various sports,
00:07:37.416 --> 00:07:39.151
Not coaches of various sports, but, "you fathers,
00:07:39.218 --> 00:07:41.020
But, "you fathers, do not provoke your children
00:07:41.087 --> 00:07:42.388
Do not provoke your children to wrath,
00:07:42.455 --> 00:07:43.055
To wrath, but you train them
00:07:43.122 --> 00:07:44.390
But you train them in the ways of the lord."
00:07:44.457 --> 00:07:45.691
In the ways of the lord." the greek word for train
00:07:45.758 --> 00:07:47.159
The greek word for train is gymnos,
00:07:47.226 --> 00:07:48.828
Is gymnos, from which we
00:07:48.895 --> 00:07:50.429
From which we get the word gymnasium.
00:07:50.496 --> 00:07:54.634
Get the word gymnasium. the message of paul is,
00:07:54.700 --> 00:07:55.935
The message of paul is, just as a coach would
00:07:56.002 --> 00:07:57.837
Just as a coach would show a boy how
00:07:57.904 --> 00:07:59.672
Show a boy how to shoot a basketball --
00:07:59.739 --> 00:08:00.973
To shoot a basketball -- a boy or a girl to shoot
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.642
A boy or a girl to shoot a basketball over
00:08:02.708 --> 00:08:04.377
A basketball over and over and over,
00:08:04.443 --> 00:08:07.246
And over and over, so must a father show
00:08:07.313 --> 00:08:09.015
So must a father show his children over,
00:08:09.081 --> 00:08:10.750
His children over, and over,
00:08:10.816 --> 00:08:11.984
And over, and over how to praise the lord,
00:08:12.051 --> 00:08:15.321
And over how to praise the lord, how to read the word of god,
00:08:15.388 --> 00:08:17.390
How to read the word of god, how to pray in the house.
00:08:17.456 --> 00:08:19.592
How to pray in the house. it's your responsibility.
00:08:19.659 --> 00:08:21.894
[applause]
00:08:22.295 --> 00:08:27.400
The fathers of america must
00:08:27.767 --> 00:08:28.901
The fathers of america must come back to the families
00:08:28.968 --> 00:08:30.503
Come back to the families and support their
00:08:30.570 --> 00:08:31.337
And support their children spiritually,
00:08:31.404 --> 00:08:33.039
Children spiritually, emotionally, financially,
00:08:33.105 --> 00:08:35.007
Emotionally, financially, and physically.
00:08:35.074 --> 00:08:36.042
And physically. this is the love
00:08:36.108 --> 00:08:37.076
This is the love of god in action.
00:08:37.143 --> 00:08:38.311
Of god in action. if you don't love your children,
00:08:38.377 --> 00:08:39.979
If you don't love your children, you don't love anything.
00:08:40.046 --> 00:08:43.182
You don't love anything. the fifth commandment
00:08:43.249 --> 00:08:44.183
The fifth commandment is a divine call to focus
00:08:44.250 --> 00:08:45.751
Is a divine call to focus on the family.
00:08:45.818 --> 00:08:47.553
On the family. you didn't choose your family.
00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:50.856
You didn't choose your family. think about that.
00:08:50.923 --> 00:08:53.025
Think about that. sometimes, when you look
00:08:53.092 --> 00:08:54.026
Sometimes, when you look at your family tree,
00:08:54.093 --> 00:08:55.194
At your family tree, you have to spin it
00:08:55.261 --> 00:08:56.128
You have to spin it the best way you can.
00:08:56.195 --> 00:08:57.530
God doesn't use
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:01.634
God doesn't use the ten commandments to tell
00:09:01.701 --> 00:09:02.868
The ten commandments to tell us how soldiers are to fight,
00:09:02.935 --> 00:09:04.971
Us how soldiers are to fight, how merchants are to conduct
00:09:05.037 --> 00:09:06.405
How merchants are to conduct their business,
00:09:06.472 --> 00:09:07.506
Their business, how teachers are to teach,
00:09:07.573 --> 00:09:08.941
How teachers are to teach, or preachers are to preach.
00:09:09.008 --> 00:09:10.309
Or preachers are to preach. but god does command that all
00:09:10.376 --> 00:09:12.111
But god does command that all children of all ages should
00:09:12.178 --> 00:09:14.180
Children of all ages should honor their mother
00:09:14.246 --> 00:09:15.247
Honor their mother and their father.
00:09:15.314 --> 00:09:16.048
And their father. i repeat,
00:09:16.115 --> 00:09:17.049
I repeat, the family is the foundation
00:09:17.116 --> 00:09:19.018
The family is the foundation of the united states of america,
00:09:19.085 --> 00:09:21.087
Of the united states of america, and the foundation is
00:09:21.153 --> 00:09:22.455
And the foundation is crumbling before our eyes.
00:09:22.521 --> 00:09:24.423
Crumbling before our eyes. our answer is back to the bible.
00:09:24.490 --> 00:09:27.193
Our answer is back to the bible. vote the bible.
00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:28.494
Vote the bible. read the bible.
00:09:28.561 --> 00:09:29.795
Read the bible. live the bible.
00:09:29.862 --> 00:09:31.197
Live the bible. this is our compass.
00:09:31.263 --> 00:09:32.565
[applause]
00:09:33.032 --> 00:09:37.536
The greatest question
00:09:38.037 --> 00:09:38.838
The greatest question is what is the family?
00:09:38.904 --> 00:09:41.440
Is what is the family? what is the family?
00:09:41.507 --> 00:09:43.576
What is the family? the word family has been used
00:09:43.643 --> 00:09:45.144
The word family has been used to describe so many things
00:09:45.211 --> 00:09:46.412
To describe so many things that america has lost
00:09:46.479 --> 00:09:48.347
That america has lost the true meaning of the word.
00:09:48.414 --> 00:09:50.616
The true meaning of the word. the mafia calls itself family.
00:09:50.683 --> 00:09:53.919
The mafia calls itself family. cults call themselves family.
00:09:53.986 --> 00:09:57.356
Cults call themselves family. the church says,
00:09:57.423 --> 00:09:58.190
The church says, "we are the family of god."
00:09:58.257 --> 00:10:00.092
"we are the family of god." and we should be.
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:01.927
And we should be. you, as a church member,
00:10:01.994 --> 00:10:03.295
You, as a church member, should look out for the interest
00:10:03.362 --> 00:10:04.730
Should look out for the interest of every church member
00:10:04.797 --> 00:10:05.831
Of every church member that you know.
00:10:05.898 --> 00:10:07.366
That you know. if one of us is in trouble,
00:10:07.433 --> 00:10:08.801
If one of us is in trouble, all of us should be in trouble.
00:10:08.868 --> 00:10:10.703
All of us should be in trouble. we should help that person.
00:10:10.770 --> 00:10:13.239
We should help that person. what is a family?
00:10:13.305 --> 00:10:14.273
What is a family? a family is not a house
00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:16.776
A family is not a house with a prestigious address.
00:10:16.842 --> 00:10:19.412
With a prestigious address. a roof will keep out the rain.
00:10:19.478 --> 00:10:22.615
A roof will keep out the rain. four walls will keep
00:10:22.682 --> 00:10:23.816
Four walls will keep out the cold night air.
00:10:23.883 --> 00:10:26.485
Out the cold night air. the floor will respond
00:10:26.552 --> 00:10:27.987
The floor will respond to the tottering steps
00:10:28.054 --> 00:10:29.522
To the tottering steps of an infant or the feeble
00:10:29.588 --> 00:10:31.691
Of an infant or the feeble steps of the aged.
00:10:31.757 --> 00:10:33.993
Steps of the aged. a door will welcome friends
00:10:34.060 --> 00:10:36.262
A door will welcome friends or be a barrier
00:10:36.328 --> 00:10:37.797
Or be a barrier to keep out enemies.
00:10:37.863 --> 00:10:39.565
To keep out enemies. a fireplace will warm
00:10:39.632 --> 00:10:40.833
A fireplace will warm those who nestle close
00:10:40.900 --> 00:10:42.568
Those who nestle close on a cold,
00:10:42.635 --> 00:10:43.335
On a cold, winter's night.
00:10:43.402 --> 00:10:44.837
Winter's night. but this is not a family.
00:10:44.904 --> 00:10:46.906
But this is not a family. is there a family in your house,
00:10:46.972 --> 00:10:48.841
Is there a family in your house, or have you become a group
00:10:48.908 --> 00:10:50.176
Or have you become a group of self-centered individuals
00:10:50.242 --> 00:10:52.344
Of self-centered individuals married to a telephone,
00:10:52.411 --> 00:10:54.046
Married to a telephone, sitting at the table staring
00:10:54.113 --> 00:10:55.448
Sitting at the table staring at it while you mechanically
00:10:55.514 --> 00:10:58.684
At it while you mechanically put food in your mouth,
00:10:58.751 --> 00:11:00.319
Put food in your mouth, and listen to the garbage
00:11:00.386 --> 00:11:01.620
And listen to the garbage that's on the news?
00:11:01.687 --> 00:11:02.521
That's on the news? you should take those phones
00:11:02.588 --> 00:11:03.856
You should take those phones and put them in another room
00:11:03.923 --> 00:11:05.624
And put them in another room and sit down and talk
00:11:05.691 --> 00:11:06.826
And sit down and talk to each other as a family.
00:11:06.892 --> 00:11:07.993
[applause]
00:11:08.561 --> 00:11:12.431
Seven powerful words
00:11:14.467 --> 00:11:15.801
That resonate through time.
00:11:15.801 --> 00:11:17.536
You are the light of the world.
00:11:17.536 --> 00:11:20.005
As believers,
00:11:20.005 --> 00:11:20.906
We are commissioned to be light
00:11:20.906 --> 00:11:22.908
In a world
00:11:22.908 --> 00:11:23.709
Surrounded in darkness,
00:11:23.709 --> 00:11:25.010
Pain and loss.
00:11:25.010 --> 00:11:26.712
Now is the time to stand up,
00:11:26.712 --> 00:11:28.481

This commandment is given for the benefit of both
00:18:56.161 --> 00:18:57.162
For the benefit of both the child and the parent.
00:18:57.229 --> 00:18:58.564
The child and the parent. children are god's
00:18:58.630 --> 00:18:59.698
Children are god's social security program.
00:18:59.765 --> 00:19:02.334

Social security program. psalms 127:3-5 says,
00:19:07.873 --> 00:19:10.542
Psalms 127:3-5 says, "behold, children are
00:19:10.609 --> 00:19:11.977
"behold, children are a gift of the lord."
00:19:12.044 --> 00:19:14.146
A gift of the lord." sometimes when they

Sometimes when they get to be teenagers,
00:19:14.913 --> 00:19:15.914

Children are a gift of the lord. like arrows in the hand
00:19:20.385 --> 00:19:21.687
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
00:19:21.753 --> 00:19:22.721
Of a warrior, so are the children
00:19:22.788 --> 00:19:23.789
So are the children of a man's youth.
00:19:23.855 --> 00:19:25.657
Of a man's youth. arrows in the hand of a warrior
00:19:25.724 --> 00:19:27.392
Arrows in the hand of a warrior are instruments of defense.

Need, loneliness, old age. that's what it's for.

That's what it's for. it is god's purpose to save
00:19:39.705 --> 00:19:40.906
It is god's purpose to save parents from the tragedy
00:19:40.973 --> 00:19:42.808
Parents from the tragedy of knowing how sharper
00:19:42.874 --> 00:19:44.876
Of knowing how sharper than a serpent's tooth
00:19:44.943 --> 00:19:47.279
Than a serpent's tooth is it to have a thankless child.
00:19:47.346 --> 00:19:50.749
Is it to have a thankless child. how sharper than

A serpent's tooth is it to have a thankless child.

To have a thankless child. how can one man and one woman
00:19:57.489 --> 00:19:58.824
How can one man and one woman raise six children,
00:19:58.890 --> 00:20:00.092
Raise six children, and those six children can't
00:20:00.158 --> 00:20:01.793
And those six children can't take care of that one man

The bible clearly reveals that the judgment of god comes
00:21:00.652 --> 00:21:01.953
The judgment of god comes to children who rebel
00:21:02.020 --> 00:21:03.822
To children who rebel against their parents.
00:21:03.889 --> 00:21:05.824
Against their parents. "why obey my parents?"

There's no such thing as absolute freedom.
00:21:32.050 --> 00:21:34.286
As absolute freedom. the stars don't have it.
00:21:34.353 --> 00:21:35.520
The stars don't have it. they're hemmed in
00:21:35.587 --> 00:21:36.455

Of the ten commandments. freedom is the opportunity
00:21:56.475 --> 00:21:58.076
Freedom is the opportunity to do as you want,
00:21:58.143 --> 00:21:59.578
To do as you want, not what you want.
00:21:59.644 --> 00:22:01.780
