The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Land of the Free | May 25, 2026
  • You see, it has
  • 00:00:01.424 --> 00:00:02.659
  • To be catastrophic in order to scare them.
  • 00:00:02.659 --> 00:00:07.030
  • But, jebus, out of everybody.
  • 00:00:07.030 --> 00:00:09.766
  • And so we can get more control of.
  • 00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:13.236
  • We the people.
  • 00:00:13.236 --> 00:00:14.170
  • See, a lot of people forget
  • 00:00:14.170 --> 00:00:15.605
  • We got
  • 00:00:15.605 --> 00:00:16.806
  • Four branches of government the legislative, the judicial,
  • 00:00:16.806 --> 00:00:19.509
  • The executive.
  • 00:00:19.843 --> 00:00:21.111
  • But the fourth branch is stronger than all three.
  • 00:00:21.111 --> 00:00:23.746
  • That's we the people, ladies and gentlemen.
  • 00:00:23.746 --> 00:00:26.082
  • That's we the people.
  • 00:00:26.082 --> 00:00:46.402
  • Talk to anybody
  • 00:00:46.769 --> 00:00:49.906
  • Who was born in a foreign country
  • 00:00:49.906 --> 00:00:52.308
  • Or who have lived for.
  • 00:00:52.308 --> 00:00:54.344
  • Period of time in a country of the united states,
  • 00:00:54.344 --> 00:00:59.449
  • And listen to them.
  • 00:00:59.916 --> 00:01:02.986
  • And in my experience,
  • 00:01:02.986 --> 00:01:04.921
  • Without exception,
  • 00:01:04.921 --> 00:01:07.624
  • They are frightened
  • 00:01:08.091 --> 00:01:11.060
  • More at the wokeness
  • 00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:14.297
  • That america is now breeding
  • 00:01:14.297 --> 00:01:17.400
  • Than those of us who were born and raised here.
  • 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.603
  • They see what is happening here.
  • 00:01:21.304 --> 00:01:26.276
  • In their judgment,
  • 00:01:26.709 --> 00:01:28.378
  • Is a tragic mirror.
  • 00:01:28.378 --> 00:01:31.447
  • What they came out from.
  • 00:01:31.981 --> 00:01:36.352
  • Anywhere in the globe.
  • 00:01:36.819 --> 00:01:39.956
  • This is a member of our church
  • 00:01:39.956 --> 00:01:41.658
  • Who gave a witness
  • 00:01:41.658 --> 00:01:44.861
  • To what i've just said.
  • 00:01:44.861 --> 00:01:47.096
  • Listen.
  • 00:01:47.096 --> 00:01:58.875
  • I live in houston.
  • 00:01:59.309 --> 00:02:00.343
  • For 22 years.
  • 00:02:00.343 --> 00:02:01.578
  • I fled from china.
  • 00:02:01.578 --> 00:02:04.581
  • But i cannot show my face because i'm concerned
  • 00:02:04.581 --> 00:02:07.650
  • Of my family's safety back in china.
  • 00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:10.553
  • In that region, you do not have any freedom.
  • 00:02:10.553 --> 00:02:13.489
  • You do not have any choice.
  • 00:02:13.489 --> 00:02:15.258
  • You don't have a free speech,
  • 00:02:15.258 --> 00:02:17.093
  • You don't have a free religions.
  • 00:02:17.093 --> 00:02:18.795
  • And we have churches.
  • 00:02:18.795 --> 00:02:20.129
  • But those are church leader.
  • 00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:21.531
  • They are communist party member.
  • 00:02:21.531 --> 00:02:23.933
  • If you have a bible study
  • 00:02:23.933 --> 00:02:26.836
  • Which is unauthorized, considered as a crime,
  • 00:02:26.836 --> 00:02:29.839
  • You can be arrested.
  • 00:02:29.839 --> 00:02:31.241
  • And i came to the united states just for not only freedom
  • 00:02:31.241 --> 00:02:34.978
  • And of all for the american dream and a fair chance. and
  • 00:02:34.978 --> 00:02:40.950
  • This country has become
  • 00:02:41.451 --> 00:02:42.752
  • More and more like communist.
  • 00:02:42.752 --> 00:02:45.521
  • I can see what's happening here now
  • 00:02:45.521 --> 00:02:48.091
  • And which this country is getting divided.
  • 00:02:48.091 --> 00:02:51.694
  • That's not what i wanted to see this country become
  • 00:02:51.694 --> 00:02:56.699
  • As american.
  • 00:02:57.033 --> 00:02:58.301
  • I think we should wake up now.
  • 00:02:58.301 --> 00:03:01.037
  • We should see the big picture.
  • 00:03:01.037 --> 00:03:02.872
  • What is coming.
  • 00:03:02.872 --> 00:03:04.274
  • We cannot be influenced by the social media and by the media,
  • 00:03:04.274 --> 00:03:08.278
  • What they told us.
  • 00:03:08.278 --> 00:03:09.679
  • And we have to use our critical thinking to see the truth,
  • 00:03:09.679 --> 00:03:13.416
  • To dig a little bit,
  • 00:03:13.416 --> 00:03:14.651
  • To spend a little more time and focus on what's going on.
  • 00:03:14.651 --> 00:03:17.987
  • As christians, we also called to stand up,
  • 00:03:17.987 --> 00:03:21.624
  • To face the evil, to fight with the devil,
  • 00:03:21.624 --> 00:03:25.395
  • And to not be silenced in front of evil.
  • 00:03:25.395 --> 00:03:28.831
  • And that's what what we're suppo
  • 00:03:28.831 --> 00:03:39.042
  • From our church membership alone,
  • 00:03:39.776 --> 00:03:43.413
  • We could have hundreds, hundreds from countries
  • 00:03:44.347 --> 00:03:49.419
  • Around the world give virtually
  • 00:03:49.419 --> 00:03:52.355
  • The same witness
  • 00:03:52.355 --> 00:03:55.591
  • That she's offered to us.
  • 00:03:55.591 --> 00:03:59.228
  • So i want us simply to look at freedom
  • 00:04:00.063 --> 00:04:03.099
  • And remember something.
  • 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.601
  • The heavy price that was paid for freedom.
  • 00:04:05.601 --> 00:04:11.341
  • If you have to have an exercise in history,
  • 00:04:11.341 --> 00:04:14.277
  • Just take a long look and take america
  • 00:04:14.277 --> 00:04:17.180
  • Out of the equation of the world
  • 00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:20.016
  • And see what you would perceive.
  • 00:04:20.717 --> 00:04:24.454
  • What happened in the world today
  • 00:04:24.454 --> 00:04:27.857
  • Had a heavy price.
  • 00:04:28.291 --> 00:04:30.793
  • We have a 155.
  • 00:04:30.793 --> 00:04:36.799
  • Cemeteries
  • 00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:38.134
  • In which our heroes are buried in
  • 00:04:38.134 --> 00:04:42.672
  • 42 states in the united states.
  • 00:04:42.672 --> 00:04:46.376
  • We have other sections of most of our cemeteries
  • 00:04:46.376 --> 00:04:50.747
  • That are given to veterans who've been brought back
  • 00:04:50.747 --> 00:04:53.649
  • Home, who who paid the ultimate price?
  • 00:04:53.649 --> 00:04:57.120
  • Over 4 million people.
  • 00:04:57.587 --> 00:04:59.822
  • There's another at least 130,000
  • 00:04:59.822 --> 00:05:03.593
  • That are buried
  • 00:05:03.593 --> 00:05:04.694
  • In some 17 different countries all around the world,
  • 00:05:04.694 --> 00:05:08.264
  • And there remains were not even brought back to
  • 00:05:08.264 --> 00:05:11.067
  • The united states.
  • 00:05:11.067 --> 00:05:13.903
  • The cost
  • 00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:16.706
  • Of freedom.
  • 00:05:16.706 --> 00:05:19.475
  • You remember when i quoted martin luther king?
  • 00:05:19.475 --> 00:05:22.278
  • I'll paraphrase him
  • 00:05:22.278 --> 00:05:24.113
  • And what he said at southern methodist
  • 00:05:24.113 --> 00:05:26.649
  • University about a year and a half
  • 00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:28.451
  • Before he was executed, murdered,
  • 00:05:28.451 --> 00:05:31.854
  • Became a martyr.
  • 00:05:32.255 --> 00:05:34.157
  • He said that as long as
  • 00:05:34.157 --> 00:05:36.959
  • There is division
  • 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.429
  • In the racial equations,
  • 00:05:39.429 --> 00:05:42.198
  • Black feeling there superior to white, white
  • 00:05:43.099 --> 00:05:46.335
  • Feeling their superior
  • 00:05:46.335 --> 00:05:47.336
  • To black prejudice, bigotry on either side.
  • 00:05:47.336 --> 00:05:50.873
  • Doctor king said,
  • 00:05:50.873 --> 00:05:53.543
  • A nation will never be free
  • 00:05:53.543 --> 00:05:56.546
  • As long as this is going on.
  • 00:05:56.546 --> 00:05:59.081
  • If doctor king were standing here, he would say,
  • 00:05:59.081 --> 00:06:02.018
  • You can't have a nation that is free,
  • 00:06:02.018 --> 00:06:06.722
  • But thank god
  • 00:06:07.089 --> 00:06:09.392
  • 99.9% of us
  • 00:06:09.392 --> 00:06:12.295
  • Have come through that dark, demonic valley.
  • 00:06:12.295 --> 00:06:15.531
  • Have we not?
  • 00:06:15.531 --> 00:06:20.336
  • So we look at the first amendment,
  • 00:06:21.103 --> 00:06:24.907
  • The bill of rights, the constitution.
  • 00:06:25.708 --> 00:06:28.344
  • Boyd talks about freedom.
  • 00:06:28.911 --> 00:06:31.481
  • You've got four big words
  • 00:06:31.481 --> 00:06:35.284
  • About freedom.
  • 00:06:35.618 --> 00:06:37.620
  • And all four of those freedoms
  • 00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:41.390
  • Are in jeopardy today
  • 00:06:41.891 --> 00:06:44.460
  • Because of the woke agenda that is being forced
  • 00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:49.265
  • Upon all of us from every angle of our society.
  • 00:06:49.265 --> 00:06:54.337
  • Now it's interesting.
  • 00:06:54.837 --> 00:06:55.872
  • During the period we were dealing with
  • 00:06:55.872 --> 00:06:58.708
  • The virus,
  • 00:06:58.708 --> 00:07:01.878
  • It's interesting that the one freedom that we lost
  • 00:07:01.878 --> 00:07:06.182
  • First in that draconian moments of our history
  • 00:07:06.182 --> 00:07:11.120
  • Was the one that i would have said is the, you know,
  • 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.156
  • At least important.
  • 00:07:14.156 --> 00:07:16.092
  • What would that be?
  • 00:07:16.092 --> 00:07:16.959
  • It'd be the fourth freedom.
  • 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.262
  • The freedom to voluntarily
  • 00:07:19.262 --> 00:07:22.899
  • Get together
  • 00:07:23.232 --> 00:07:25.735
  • As groups, as family.
  • 00:07:25.735 --> 00:07:28.137
  • Right.
  • 00:07:28.137 --> 00:07:28.905
  • That's that's the fourth freedom.
  • 00:07:28.905 --> 00:07:30.673
  • We have the freedom to do that.
  • 00:07:30.673 --> 00:07:33.409
  • That freedom was taken away.
  • 00:07:34.010 --> 00:07:36.879
  • And in the process, when that was taken away,
  • 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.849
  • The right of rightful assembly,
  • 00:07:39.849 --> 00:07:43.085
  • All the other freedoms, the other three were trained.
  • 00:07:44.153 --> 00:07:46.989
  • We had freedom of religion.
  • 00:07:46.989 --> 00:07:49.659
  • But when that was taken away, we had freedom from religion.
  • 00:07:49.659 --> 00:07:54.897
  • And then we had freedom from religion,
  • 00:07:55.665 --> 00:07:58.467
  • And then we had freedom of speech.
  • 00:07:58.467 --> 00:08:01.637
  • Now we had freedom from speech,
  • 00:08:01.637 --> 00:08:04.807
  • And that last one was taken away.
  • 00:08:05.541 --> 00:08:07.777
  • And now we had freedom of the press.
  • 00:08:07.777 --> 00:08:10.179
  • We had freedom from the press.
  • 00:08:10.179 --> 00:08:14.183
  • Amazing isn't it?
  • 00:08:14.617 --> 00:08:16.953
  • How quickly those, we would say indelible
  • 00:08:16.953 --> 00:08:21.257
  • Freedoms are confused and they are lost.
  • 00:08:21.257 --> 00:08:25.895
  • The freedom of religion.
  • 00:08:26.429 --> 00:08:30.232
  • How many countries
  • 00:08:30.666 --> 00:08:31.734
  • In the world you have genuine freedom of religion?
  • 00:08:31.734 --> 00:08:34.770
  • Would you like to count them?
  • 00:08:34.770 --> 00:08:36.105
  • On one hand?
  • 00:08:36.105 --> 00:08:37.640
  • Maybe if you can find them
  • 00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:39.775
  • Where people can express their religious faith
  • 00:08:39.775 --> 00:08:42.311
  • In freedom and in exercise of that
  • 00:08:42.311 --> 00:08:44.914
  • Anytime, anywhere, that is freedom.
  • 00:08:44.914 --> 00:08:47.450
  • That is a rare thing on the planet.
  • 00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:50.019
  • Ladies and gentlemen,
  • 00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:51.721
  • You say, well, let me illustrate.
  • 00:08:52.455 --> 00:08:54.156
  • Well, israel has freedom of religion.
  • 00:08:54.156 --> 00:08:56.025
  • No, they do not.
  • 00:08:56.025 --> 00:08:57.059
  • We can go
  • 00:08:57.059 --> 00:08:58.160
  • There at our own little groups and express religion.
  • 00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:00.196
  • But you go there
  • 00:09:00.196 --> 00:09:01.364
  • And try to have a a crusade in any facility in israel,
  • 00:09:01.364 --> 00:09:04.533
  • When you call people to
  • 00:09:04.533 --> 00:09:05.601
  • Jesus christ, i'm telling you, you'll be put in jail.
  • 00:09:05.601 --> 00:09:09.305
  • And you would think
  • 00:09:09.305 --> 00:09:10.406
  • Israel of all places would have freedom of religion,
  • 00:09:10.406 --> 00:09:12.942
  • Let alone china or russia, et cetera, etc.,
  • 00:09:12.942 --> 00:09:15.411
  • Let alone the muslim countries.
  • 00:09:15.411 --> 00:09:17.146
  • Right?
  • 00:09:17.146 --> 00:09:18.347
  • Freedom of religion to the pressure of sin.
  • 00:09:18.347 --> 00:09:21.150
  • And i can tell you in both countries,
  • 00:09:21.150 --> 00:09:24.120
  • If what i have been trying to
  • 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.188
  • Say in a biblical context for the last 4 or 5 weeks,
  • 00:09:26.188 --> 00:09:30.426
  • It would have been called hate speech,
  • 00:09:30.426 --> 00:09:35.164
  • Hate speech,
  • 00:09:35.498 --> 00:09:37.667
  • And i would be arrested or put down,
  • 00:09:37.667 --> 00:09:40.970
  • And maybe all of us would be in jeopardy.
  • 00:09:40.970 --> 00:09:43.572
  • And then we discover who stands up, who doesn't?
  • 00:09:43.572 --> 00:09:46.442
  • Wouldn't we?
  • 00:09:46.442 --> 00:09:47.209
  • In about a skinny new york minute
  • 00:09:47.209 --> 00:09:50.813
  • Religion,
  • 00:09:51.113 --> 00:09:53.849
  • Freedom of speech canceled.
  • 00:09:53.849 --> 00:09:57.787
  • You say? well, what about it? australia?
  • 00:09:57.787 --> 00:09:59.655
  • You know, that's sort of a western country.
  • 00:09:59.655 --> 00:10:01.390
  • You know, that's in australia.
  • 00:10:01.390 --> 00:10:03.659
  • This past week in australia, a man was elected to be what
  • 00:10:03.659 --> 00:10:08.197
  • We would call the commissioner of australian football.
  • 00:10:08.197 --> 00:10:11.801
  • And he was elected.
  • 00:10:12.268 --> 00:10:13.569
  • And the first day he was in office,
  • 00:10:13.569 --> 00:10:15.438
  • He was fired because they discovered
  • 00:10:15.438 --> 00:10:18.074
  • He was a member of a church who did not believe in killing
  • 00:10:18.074 --> 00:10:21.477
  • A baby in the mother's womb, and they fired him.
  • 00:10:21.477 --> 00:10:23.879
  • He served for one day
  • 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.481
  • Like it'd be the commissioner in our place of the nfl,
  • 00:10:25.481 --> 00:10:28.651
  • Because he was an evangelical christian.
  • 00:10:28.651 --> 00:10:31.420
  • Bang! you're thrown out. you're canceled.
  • 00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:37.126
  • Freedom of press.
  • 00:10:37.560 --> 00:10:40.496
  • That's a joke, isn't it?
  • 00:10:40.496 --> 00:10:43.299
  • That's a joke.
  • 00:10:43.632 --> 00:10:44.467
  • You say?
  • 00:10:44.467 --> 00:10:45.434
  • Well, the press can say what they want to say.
  • 00:10:45.434 --> 00:10:47.970
  • You know,
  • 00:10:47.970 --> 00:10:49.071
  • I had sons, and we'd give them more and more leeway.
  • 00:10:49.071 --> 00:10:52.508
  • As they matured and growed up, we'd give them greater,
  • 00:10:52.508 --> 00:10:55.177
  • Greater freedom. did we?
  • 00:10:55.177 --> 00:10:56.278
  • Not all parents do that?
  • 00:10:56.278 --> 00:10:57.747
  • But if they went back against that freedom.
  • 00:10:57.747 --> 00:11:02.151
  • We would have to restrain them.
  • 00:11:02.785 --> 00:11:06.021
  • You see, we have now those in the press.
  • 00:11:06.856 --> 00:11:09.725
  • They report on the basis of their ideology
  • 00:11:09.725 --> 00:11:13.028
  • And not on the basis of what may factual.
  • 00:11:13.028 --> 00:11:16.165
  • That's the freedom of the press today.
  • 00:11:16.932 --> 00:11:19.001
  • That's post-modernism.
  • 00:11:19.001 --> 00:11:20.302
  • Therefore,
  • 00:11:20.302 --> 00:11:21.470
  • They have lost that freedom as far as we're concerned.
  • 00:11:21.470 --> 00:11:24.106
  • Anybody who's modified literate.
  • 00:11:24.106 --> 00:11:27.610
  • So we lose these four freedoms.
  • 00:11:28.244 --> 00:11:32.348
  • Plus, in a woke dominated community.
  • 00:11:32.348 --> 00:11:36.852
  • Freedom.
  • 00:11:37.119 --> 00:11:38.721
  • And then what about the word liberty?
  • 00:11:38.721 --> 00:11:42.191
  • Freedom and liberty are usually
  • 00:11:42.825 --> 00:11:45.594
  • Employed as synonyms, are they not?
  • 00:11:45.594 --> 00:11:47.663
  • They're synonyms, but they really are not.
  • 00:11:47.663 --> 00:11:50.866
  • Freedom is the freedom to, you know.
  • 00:11:50.866 --> 00:11:53.936
  • So that way, jump down, hit somebody.
  • 00:11:53.936 --> 00:11:57.306
  • I mean, that's we're free moral agent.
  • 00:11:57.306 --> 00:11:59.508
  • We make decisions. we do. that's freedom.
  • 00:11:59.508 --> 00:12:01.677
  • But liberty is sort of inside of freedom.
  • 00:12:01.677 --> 00:12:06.782
  • Liberty put guard puts guardrails on freedom.
  • 00:12:06.782 --> 00:12:10.653
  • So you have rules and laws and civility and culture.
  • 00:12:10.653 --> 00:12:15.391
  • And so it puts that in their own freedom.
  • 00:12:15.391 --> 00:12:18.794
  • That is what liberty is liberty and justice for all.
  • 00:12:18.794 --> 00:12:25.167
  • A nation under god.
  • 00:12:25.634 --> 00:12:30.339
  • When i was a boy,
  • 00:12:30.773 --> 00:12:32.041
  • There was a popular little song called mother.
  • 00:12:32.041 --> 00:12:35.811
  • Derived from the acrostic motif.
  • 00:12:35.811 --> 00:12:40.115
  • Though the lyrics are not christian.
  • 00:12:40.883 --> 00:12:43.018
  • They are certainly universal in their application
  • 00:12:43.018 --> 00:12:46.322
  • Of mothers everywhere as a child.
  • 00:12:46.322 --> 00:12:49.658
  • I had to
  • 00:12:49.658 --> 00:12:50.759
  • Sing this over a radio station in laurel, mississippi.
  • 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.096
  • Would you believe that?
  • 00:12:54.096 --> 00:12:55.364
  • And so, as a heartfelt tribute to mothers and mother figures
  • 00:12:55.364 --> 00:13:00.035
  • Everywhere, i decided to have some fun
  • 00:13:00.035 --> 00:13:02.538
  • With this little acrostic for mother's day.
  • 00:13:02.538 --> 00:13:05.941
  • For mother's day only.
  • 00:13:05.941 --> 00:13:08.077
  • So i've created a one week devotional for moms.
  • 00:13:08.077 --> 00:13:11.981
  • Through these pages, i hope to honor our mothers,
  • 00:13:11.981 --> 00:13:15.517
  • Glorify god, and inspire both mothers and children
  • 00:13:15.517 --> 00:13:19.255
  • To pray for those whom god has carefully designed
  • 00:13:19.255 --> 00:13:23.325
  • To nurture and guide each and every new generation.
  • 00:13:23.325 --> 00:13:28.230
  • To get you a copy.
  • 00:13:28.230 --> 00:13:29.531
  • Call the number on the screen or visit the website below
  • 00:13:29.531 --> 00:13:32.701
  • And give someone who has been a mother figure to you,
  • 00:13:32.701 --> 00:13:37.072
  • Or give one to your mother.
  • 00:13:37.072 --> 00:13:38.741
  • And by the way, keep one for yourself.
  • 00:13:38.741 --> 00:13:47.316
  • You see, it has
  • 00:13:47.683 --> 00:13:48.918
  • To be catastrophic in order to scare them.
  • 00:13:48.918 --> 00:13:53.289
  • But, jebus, out of everybody.
  • 00:13:53.289 --> 00:13:56.025
  • And so we can get more control of.
  • 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.495
  • We the people.
  • 00:13:59.495 --> 00:14:00.429
  • See, a lot of people forget
  • 00:14:00.429 --> 00:14:01.864
  • We got
  • 00:14:01.864 --> 00:14:03.065
  • Four branches of government the legislative, the judicial,
  • 00:14:03.065 --> 00:14:05.768
  • The executive.
  • 00:14:06.101 --> 00:14:07.369
  • But the fourth branch is stronger than all three.
  • 00:14:07.369 --> 00:14:10.005
  • That's we the people, ladies and gentlemen.
  • 00:14:10.005 --> 00:14:12.341
  • That's we the people now.
  • 00:14:12.341 --> 00:14:17.446
  • I said, i'm not an authority,
  • 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.250
  • But i want to read what a very fine
  • 00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:24.320
  • Scholarly man has written, and i've paraphrased it
  • 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.457
  • A little bit.
  • 00:14:28.457 --> 00:14:31.360
  • So it's not exclusively.
  • 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.128
  • His part of it is mine.
  • 00:14:33.128 --> 00:14:37.499
  • Michael knows in his book
  • 00:14:38.067 --> 00:14:39.702
  • Entitled speechless,
  • 00:14:39.702 --> 00:14:42.638
  • Perhaps warmer weather threaten civilization.
  • 00:14:42.638 --> 00:14:46.175
  • Perhaps it does not.
  • 00:14:46.642 --> 00:14:48.811
  • Maybe the coronavirus
  • 00:14:48.811 --> 00:14:52.047
  • Poses an unprecedented threat on human life.
  • 00:14:52.047 --> 00:14:55.284
  • Maybe not.
  • 00:14:55.584 --> 00:14:57.119
  • In any event, doctor dictators i.e.
  • 00:14:57.119 --> 00:15:01.657
  • The napoleonic doctor fauci
  • 00:15:01.657 --> 00:15:04.626
  • Expects technocrats have no right to demand
  • 00:15:04.626 --> 00:15:08.097
  • That we acquiesce to their every whim.
  • 00:15:08.097 --> 00:15:11.367
  • A free people may
  • 00:15:11.800 --> 00:15:13.802
  • Welcome the advice of specialists, and we do.
  • 00:15:13.802 --> 00:15:17.606
  • But we must also consider other
  • 00:15:17.606 --> 00:15:20.709
  • Non scientific factors.
  • 00:15:20.709 --> 00:15:23.412
  • Remember the marriage between science and politics,
  • 00:15:23.412 --> 00:15:26.382
  • Including the effects of a given policy
  • 00:15:26.382 --> 00:15:30.386
  • On the economy, national
  • 00:15:30.386 --> 00:15:33.389
  • Security, popular culture,
  • 00:15:33.389 --> 00:15:38.160
  • Civil rights,
  • 00:15:38.527 --> 00:15:40.229
  • Social relations, welfare of our children,
  • 00:15:40.229 --> 00:15:43.932
  • Mental health and other facets in our republic.
  • 00:15:43.932 --> 00:15:49.204
  • If climate change really would destroy the world
  • 00:15:49.204 --> 00:15:52.708
  • By 2031, as aoc
  • 00:15:52.708 --> 00:15:55.544
  • Claims, science remains the servant of our nation
  • 00:15:55.544 --> 00:15:59.948
  • And of the world and a free republic.
  • 00:15:59.948 --> 00:16:03.452
  • The people must set the nation's
  • 00:16:03.452 --> 00:16:06.722
  • Course.
  • 00:16:06.722 --> 00:16:09.591
  • A man far
  • 00:16:09.892 --> 00:16:11.427
  • More scholarly than most of us, certainly myself,
  • 00:16:11.427 --> 00:16:15.364
  • Gave us a very wise moment.
  • 00:16:15.964 --> 00:16:19.868
  • You see, we don't submit to draconian efforts
  • 00:16:19.868 --> 00:16:23.772
  • When those we've elected to be our service becomes our lord
  • 00:16:23.772 --> 00:16:27.342
  • And our masters, and that is always derogatory
  • 00:16:27.342 --> 00:16:30.979
  • And deadly to a free people when politicians marry.
  • 00:16:30.979 --> 00:16:35.084
  • Science now.
  • 00:16:35.084 --> 00:16:44.359
  • We are a blessed nation.
  • 00:16:44.893 --> 00:16:47.796
  • Is that true?
  • 00:16:48.163 --> 00:16:50.933
  • Well, how did god bless us?
  • 00:16:50.933 --> 00:16:52.734
  • Why did god bless us?
  • 00:16:52.734 --> 00:16:54.870
  • Have we moved away from that blessing?
  • 00:16:54.870 --> 00:16:57.840
  • Is it gone?
  • 00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:58.841
  • Is that blessing coming back?
  • 00:16:58.841 --> 00:17:02.644
  • Let me tell you why i
  • 00:17:03.145 --> 00:17:04.780
  • Think and why we have been blessed.
  • 00:17:04.780 --> 00:17:08.217
  • I think that blessing is available to every nation.
  • 00:17:09.284 --> 00:17:12.588
  • Whoa, wait a minute.
  • 00:17:12.588 --> 00:17:13.789
  • Yeah, well, what about israel?
  • 00:17:13.789 --> 00:17:15.858
  • I think israel, in that day and age, responded to god
  • 00:17:15.858 --> 00:17:20.162
  • In setting up a a biblical basis that he gave to them,
  • 00:17:20.162 --> 00:17:24.133
  • To the ten commandments and to their salvation history
  • 00:17:24.133 --> 00:17:27.269
  • Which the coming of jesus christ.
  • 00:17:27.269 --> 00:17:29.138
  • I think that's why god uniquely blessed and used israel,
  • 00:17:29.138 --> 00:17:33.208
  • Because israel at that time responded to his revelation
  • 00:17:33.208 --> 00:17:37.779
  • Best that they could with the ten commandments
  • 00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:40.382
  • And the covenants that were made.
  • 00:17:40.382 --> 00:17:41.884
  • That's why i think god, blessed is what he did, just decide
  • 00:17:41.884 --> 00:17:45.721
  • To put pitching dust on them.
  • 00:17:45.721 --> 00:17:49.124
  • Let me see how that works.
  • 00:17:49.691 --> 00:17:50.726
  • Look at jeremiah
  • 00:17:50.726 --> 00:17:52.895
  • Chapter number 29.
  • 00:17:53.328 --> 00:17:55.330
  • God speaking.
  • 00:17:55.330 --> 00:17:57.199
  • He says, for i know your plans.
  • 00:17:57.199 --> 00:17:59.334
  • United states.
  • 00:17:59.334 --> 00:18:00.702
  • Any nation that i have for you to declare
  • 00:18:00.702 --> 00:18:03.605
  • As the lord plans for welfare and not for calamity,
  • 00:18:03.605 --> 00:18:08.377
  • To give you a future and a hope.
  • 00:18:08.377 --> 00:18:11.680
  • Then you will call upon me
  • 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:13.615
  • And come and pray to me, and i will listen to you,
  • 00:18:13.615 --> 00:18:18.053
  • And you will seek me, says the lord, and find me.
  • 00:18:18.053 --> 00:18:21.490
  • And when you search for me
  • 00:18:21.490 --> 00:18:22.925
  • With all your heart, i will be found
  • 00:18:22.925 --> 00:18:24.826
  • By you, declares the lord.
  • 00:18:24.826 --> 00:18:26.461
  • And i will restore your fortunes,
  • 00:18:26.461 --> 00:18:28.597
  • And will gather you from all the nations,
  • 00:18:28.597 --> 00:18:30.699
  • And from all the places
  • 00:18:30.699 --> 00:18:32.134
  • Where i have driven you, declares the lord.
  • 00:18:32.134 --> 00:18:34.503
  • And i will bring you back to the place
  • 00:18:34.503 --> 00:18:37.206
  • From where i sent you into exile.
  • 00:18:37.206 --> 00:18:40.242
  • Did you get that?
  • 00:18:40.242 --> 00:18:42.644
  • That that is such a clear
  • 00:18:43.212 --> 00:18:45.380
  • Teaching all the way through god's word.
  • 00:18:45.380 --> 00:18:48.517
  • God gives provision,
  • 00:18:48.984 --> 00:18:52.287
  • And then we have to respond to that provision.
  • 00:18:52.287 --> 00:18:56.825
  • We have to step up and apprehend
  • 00:18:56.825 --> 00:18:59.761
  • That provision, just like salvation
  • 00:18:59.761 --> 00:19:02.598
  • God has provided for us to know god in jesus christ, right?
  • 00:19:02.598 --> 00:19:06.435
  • Jesus died on the cross.
  • 00:19:06.969 --> 00:19:08.203
  • God, man for your sin and my sin.
  • 00:19:08.203 --> 00:19:10.339
  • And there is a provision for us
  • 00:19:10.339 --> 00:19:13.041
  • To receive him and know him and have life now and forever.
  • 00:19:13.041 --> 00:19:16.545
  • And also we have to accept.
  • 00:19:16.545 --> 00:19:20.015
  • We have to respond that this is the way with blessings.
  • 00:19:20.015 --> 00:19:24.119
  • He's provided a provision and america was founded
  • 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:29.057
  • On this basic doctors with judeo-christian provisions
  • 00:19:29.057 --> 00:19:33.328
  • That's found in all of our
  • 00:19:33.328 --> 00:19:34.663
  • Foundational documents, are they not?
  • 00:19:34.663 --> 00:19:36.965
  • The bible is the source of those.
  • 00:19:36.965 --> 00:19:38.767
  • And because of that, he has blessed us as a people.
  • 00:19:38.767 --> 00:19:44.406
  • But when we withdraw from those blessings
  • 00:19:44.406 --> 00:19:48.010
  • And those foundations that he's given us,
  • 00:19:48.010 --> 00:19:50.846
  • What has he given us in foundations?
  • 00:19:50.846 --> 00:19:52.781
  • We've already looked at that.
  • 00:19:52.781 --> 00:19:54.483
  • He gave us family,
  • 00:19:54.483 --> 00:19:55.617
  • He gave us government, he gave us the church.
  • 00:19:55.617 --> 00:19:57.853
  • And when we as christians exercise freedom within those
  • 00:19:57.853 --> 00:20:01.823
  • Three basic, fundamental, god given foundations,
  • 00:20:01.823 --> 00:20:05.827
  • Then god will bless us and continue to bless us.
  • 00:20:05.827 --> 00:20:09.264
  • But when those foundations are broken and cracked
  • 00:20:09.264 --> 00:20:13.068
  • And confused and destroyed, as the old people
  • 00:20:13.068 --> 00:20:16.605
  • Would have them to be the liberty and the justice,
  • 00:20:16.605 --> 00:20:20.642
  • A nation unto god, he withdraws his hand from us,
  • 00:20:20.642 --> 00:20:24.646
  • Just like he did in history to israel all the
  • 00:20:24.646 --> 00:20:28.283
  • Way through those decades.
  • 00:20:28.283 --> 00:20:30.519
  • We are blessed to be a blessing, and we are blessed
  • 00:20:31.520 --> 00:20:34.656
  • Because god has given us a provision,
  • 00:20:34.656 --> 00:20:38.694
  • An opportunity, an openness, and we have to accept
  • 00:20:38.694 --> 00:20:43.332
  • And accommodate ourselves and receive those provisions
  • 00:20:43.332 --> 00:20:47.502
  • Which are fundamental
  • 00:20:47.502 --> 00:20:48.904
  • To us on the basic doctrines of the united states of america.
  • 00:20:48.904 --> 00:20:53.108
  • Do you get what a blessing is?
  • 00:20:53.108 --> 00:20:55.677
  • Do we understand what a blessing is
  • 00:20:55.677 --> 00:20:59.014
  • On this basis?
  • 00:20:59.348 --> 00:21:02.284
  • On this basis,
  • 00:21:02.284 --> 00:21:05.020
  • God can bless america.
  • 00:21:05.020 --> 00:21:08.190
  • There was a family
  • 00:21:08.623 --> 00:21:09.891
  • That lived in siberia.
  • 00:21:09.891 --> 00:21:13.462
  • And the russians came
  • 00:21:13.962 --> 00:21:16.264
  • And their anti-semitism.
  • 00:21:16.264 --> 00:21:19.201
  • They burned the house of this jewish family down,
  • 00:21:19.201 --> 00:21:22.738
  • And the father escaped with the children,
  • 00:21:22.738 --> 00:21:25.774
  • Made his all his way to america.
  • 00:21:25.774 --> 00:21:30.712
  • Lived
  • 00:21:30.946 --> 00:21:31.646
  • On the east side of new york.
  • 00:21:31.646 --> 00:21:36.651
  • When this young boy
  • 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:38.820
  • Came over as a baby, was nine years old,
  • 00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:42.624
  • His name was israel beeline.
  • 00:21:43.225 --> 00:21:47.329
  • His father died.
  • 00:21:47.729 --> 00:21:48.797
  • He's an orphaned at nine.
  • 00:21:48.797 --> 00:21:50.932
  • Somehow he made it by selling papers
  • 00:21:50.932 --> 00:21:53.368
  • On the streets of new york.
  • 00:21:53.368 --> 00:21:55.504
  • And he would go in bars
  • 00:21:55.504 --> 00:21:57.139
  • And he saw those old beat up pianos,
  • 00:21:57.139 --> 00:21:59.174
  • And he began to play on his pants.
  • 00:21:59.174 --> 00:22:01.009
  • He had a natural gift
  • 00:22:01.009 --> 00:22:02.210
  • For music, and everybody liked him, man.
  • 00:22:02.210 --> 00:22:06.415
  • He would play
  • 00:22:06.415 --> 00:22:07.282
  • And they would give
  • 00:22:07.282 --> 00:22:08.483
  • Donations and finally begin to write music that sort of
  • 00:22:08.483 --> 00:22:11.987
  • Fit the mood of the day.
  • 00:22:11.987 --> 00:22:13.288
  • And they would sing this song they would look forward to
  • 00:22:13.288 --> 00:22:16.425
  • To israel, easy coming in and playing those songs.
  • 00:22:16.425 --> 00:22:20.128
  • And finally he went on and he began
  • 00:22:20.862 --> 00:22:23.098
  • To write sheet music,
  • 00:22:23.098 --> 00:22:25.934
  • And he went to germany in
  • 00:22:26.501 --> 00:22:30.505
  • 1938.
  • 00:22:30.739 --> 00:22:31.907
  • Saul was happening with hitler there.
  • 00:22:31.907 --> 00:22:34.709
  • He had served in the military previously himself,
  • 00:22:34.709 --> 00:22:38.046
  • And he came back
  • 00:22:38.046 --> 00:22:39.347
  • Home to america, and he was disturbed as he saw
  • 00:22:39.347 --> 00:22:43.084
  • A demonic element arising in europe.
  • 00:22:43.084 --> 00:22:45.420
  • And he he being thrown out with his family, russia,
  • 00:22:45.420 --> 00:22:49.057
  • When he was just a child.
  • 00:22:49.057 --> 00:22:50.358
  • And he began to write
  • 00:22:50.358 --> 00:22:52.227
  • More music, and he wrote a piece of sheet music,
  • 00:22:52.227 --> 00:22:56.164
  • And they got his name confused and said of israel, beeline.
  • 00:22:56.164 --> 00:23:00.802
  • They put on it.
  • 00:23:00.802 --> 00:23:03.004
  • Irving who?
  • 00:23:03.338 --> 00:23:05.807
  • Berlin.
  • 00:23:05.807 --> 00:23:07.409
  • And he didn't correct it,
  • 00:23:07.409 --> 00:23:09.978
  • And irving berlin, what a guy.
  • 00:23:09.978 --> 00:23:14.049
  • In 1938, kate
  • 00:23:14.416 --> 00:23:16.384
  • Smith was had a radio show.
  • 00:23:16.384 --> 00:23:19.421
  • She was a beautiful, powerful voice.
  • 00:23:19.421 --> 00:23:21.723
  • And she asked this man,
  • 00:23:21.723 --> 00:23:24.926
  • Irving berlin, what did he write?
  • 00:23:24.926 --> 00:23:27.028
  • White christmas, no business like show business.
  • 00:23:27.028 --> 00:23:31.199
  • But she asked him to write him a song,
  • 00:23:31.199 --> 00:23:34.503
  • Write her a song. and he did.
  • 00:23:35.136 --> 00:23:36.771
  • And he went and got an old trunk
  • 00:23:36.771 --> 00:23:40.041
  • That he brought back when he was in the war.
  • 00:23:40.041 --> 00:23:42.010
  • And he had written in that trunk a love letter to america,
  • 00:23:42.010 --> 00:23:46.314
  • Because he so appreciated merica,
  • 00:23:47.015 --> 00:23:49.284
  • Because he came out of russia,
  • 00:23:49.284 --> 00:23:51.052
  • He had suffered, his family had been killed.
  • 00:23:51.052 --> 00:23:53.054
  • And he
  • 00:23:53.054 --> 00:23:54.222
  • This is a love letter he wrote while he was in the army.
  • 00:23:54.222 --> 00:23:57.425
  • And he said he never did use it or read it.
  • 00:23:57.425 --> 00:24:00.228
  • He just stayed in that old trunk
  • 00:24:00.228 --> 00:24:01.663
  • Because he said it was so mushy.
  • 00:24:01.663 --> 00:24:04.065
  • But when kate smith asked him to write something for her
  • 00:24:05.166 --> 00:24:08.136
  • Radio show, he took that old,
  • 00:24:08.136 --> 00:24:10.939
  • Old mushy thing there
  • 00:24:10.939 --> 00:24:14.042
  • And he put music to the words.
  • 00:24:14.042 --> 00:24:18.079
  • And that's where we get
  • 00:24:18.580 --> 00:24:21.416
  • That prayer put to music.
  • 00:24:21.983 --> 00:24:25.854
  • God bless america.
  • 00:24:26.288 --> 00:24:30.725
  • Would you say it?
  • 00:24:31.159 --> 00:24:31.893
  • After me?
  • 00:24:31.893 --> 00:24:33.128
  • God bless america.
  • 00:24:33.128 --> 00:24:36.164
  • Land that i love.
  • 00:24:36.598 --> 00:24:39.501
  • Stand beside her
  • 00:24:39.501 --> 00:24:41.903
  • And guide her through the night.
  • 00:24:41.903 --> 00:24:45.273
  • With a light from above.
  • 00:24:45.807 --> 00:24:48.977
  • From the mountains
  • 00:24:49.411 --> 00:24:51.746
  • To the prairie to the ocean.
  • 00:24:51.746 --> 00:24:55.083
  • What was done?
  • 00:24:55.417 --> 00:24:57.652
  • God bless america.
  • 00:24:57.652 --> 00:25:00.822
  • Our home
  • 00:25:01.089 --> 00:25:03.491
  • Sweet home.
  • 00:25:03.491 --> 00:25:06.661
  • When i was a boy,
  • 00:25:07.095 --> 00:25:08.363
  • There was a popular little song called mother.
  • 00:25:08.363 --> 00:25:12.133
  • Derived from the acrostic motif.
  • 00:25:12.133 --> 00:25:16.438
  • Though the lyrics are not christian.
  • 00:25:17.205 --> 00:25:19.341
  • They are certainly universal in their application
  • 00:25:19.341 --> 00:25:22.644
  • Of mothers everywhere as a child.
  • 00:25:22.644 --> 00:25:25.981
  • I had to
  • 00:25:25.981 --> 00:25:27.082
  • Sing this over a radio station in laurel, mississippi.
  • 00:25:27.082 --> 00:25:30.418
  • Would you believe that?
  • 00:25:30.418 --> 00:25:31.686
  • And so, as a heartfelt tribute to mothers and mother figures
  • 00:25:31.686 --> 00:25:36.358
  • Everywhere, i decided to have some fun
  • 00:25:36.358 --> 00:25:38.860
  • With this little acrostic for mother's day.
  • 00:25:38.860 --> 00:25:42.263
  • For mother's day only.
  • 00:25:42.263 --> 00:25:44.399
  • So i've created a one week devotional for moms.
  • 00:25:44.399 --> 00:25:48.303
  • Through these pages, i hope to honor our mothers,
  • 00:25:48.303 --> 00:25:51.840
  • Glorify god, and inspire both mothers and children
  • 00:25:51.840 --> 00:25:55.577
  • To pray for those whom god has carefully designed
  • 00:25:55.577 --> 00:25:59.648
  • To nurture and guide each and every new generation.
  • 00:25:59.648 --> 00:26:04.552
  • To get you a copy.
  • 00:26:04.552 --> 00:26:05.854
  • Call the number on the screen or visit the website below
  • 00:26:05.854 --> 00:26:09.024
  • And give someone who has been a mother figure to you,
  • 00:26:09.024 --> 00:26:13.395
  • Or give one to your mother.
  • 00:26:13.395 --> 00:26:15.063
  • And by the way, keep one for yourself.
  • 00:26:15.063 --> 00:26:23.104
  • The land of the free and the home of the brave
  • 00:26:24.005 --> 00:26:26.307
  • Is the final line of the star spangled banner,
  • 00:26:26.307 --> 00:26:30.011
  • Written by francis scott key in 1814.
  • 00:26:30.011 --> 00:26:34.849
  • Today we remember those who have
  • 00:26:34.849 --> 00:26:37.118
  • Given the ultimate sacrifice, so that we may live in a nation
  • 00:26:37.118 --> 00:26:41.256
  • Whose people are free and
  • 00:26:41.256 --> 00:26:44.726
  • Listen, this reminds me, and i'm sure it reminds me
  • 00:26:44.726 --> 00:26:47.262
  • You, that living in the land of the free means
  • 00:26:47.262 --> 00:26:50.632
  • Recognizing that our freedom is bought at a great price
  • 00:26:50.632 --> 00:26:54.703
  • By brave men and women who have put on the uniform.
  • 00:26:54.703 --> 00:26:59.641
  • Today, i want us to honor those who gave their lives
  • 00:26:59.641 --> 00:27:03.078
  • For our freedom and thank the families
  • 00:27:03.078 --> 00:27:05.547
  • Whose sacrifice is so very great.
  • 00:27:05.547 --> 00:27:08.650
  • And may the good lord continue to bless our winning walk,
  • 00:27:08.650 --> 00:27:12.620
  • Family, and may the good lord continue to god and bless
  • 00:27:12.620 --> 00:27:17.892
  • The united states of america.
  • 00:27:18.526 --> 00:27:18.526
