The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Washington | July 1, 2026

I can tell you
00:00:02.648 --> 00:00:04.817
That the power was vested in
00:00:04.817 --> 00:00:07.352
We the people.
00:00:07.352 --> 00:00:10.155
I spill some i may go in politics.
00:00:10.923 --> 00:00:15.060
And the people and our founders were very careful
00:00:16.061 --> 00:00:19.264
That a little power was given to the states,
00:00:19.264 --> 00:00:22.768
And then the state was given a little power
00:00:23.635 --> 00:00:26.805
To the federal government.
00:00:26.805 --> 00:00:40.119
Now, that's the way the documents are written,
00:00:41.086 --> 00:00:45.557
Make no mistake about it.
00:00:45.557 --> 00:01:06.211
Alexander sosa
00:01:06.545 --> 00:01:09.515
In 1983.
00:01:09.515 --> 00:01:11.450
This russian philosopher scholar was writing
00:01:11.450 --> 00:01:15.554
About his native land, russia,
00:01:16.155 --> 00:01:19.358
And sosa nitzan said he could remember as a boy,
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.629
Hearing the older people talk in the family,
00:01:23.629 --> 00:01:27.799
And they were lamenting about what happened to russia,
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.770
What happened to their great land that they loved.
00:01:31.770 --> 00:01:34.973
And he could recall one of the older
00:01:35.774 --> 00:01:38.010
Men saying,
00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:40.846
The people have forgotten god.
00:01:40.846 --> 00:01:45.317
And sosa needs in writing at the end of the last
00:01:46.285 --> 00:01:49.087
Century, said as he looked around the world
00:01:49.087 --> 00:01:52.891
And as you know, he was a great scholar
00:01:52.891 --> 00:01:55.327
Philosopher who served so many years
00:01:55.327 --> 00:01:57.229
In the gulags there in russia, he said, as he
00:01:57.229 --> 00:02:00.065
Studied the world and tried to find a phrase
00:02:00.065 --> 00:02:03.235
That would explain where we are today.
00:02:03.235 --> 00:02:06.872
He said, i remember that phrase i heard as a boy.
00:02:07.873 --> 00:02:10.909
It's the best explanation yet
00:02:10.909 --> 00:02:13.879
People have forgotten god.
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:19.985
We learn from history
00:02:20.485 --> 00:02:23.689
Are we repeat history.
00:02:24.156 --> 00:02:28.660
We've heard that before.
00:02:29.194 --> 00:02:31.463
Do we really comprehend it?
00:02:31.463 --> 00:02:34.399
If i touch a hot stove, i am burned.
00:02:34.399 --> 00:02:37.836
Do i learn from that?
00:02:37.836 --> 00:02:39.104
Or do i go back and touch that hot
00:02:39.104 --> 00:02:41.907
Stove again?
00:02:41.907 --> 00:02:44.843
Now, as we look at history today, we're going to look at a
00:02:44.843 --> 00:02:47.879
A slice of biblical history and see a broken jerusalem.
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:53.285
And we're going to look at a
00:02:53.885 --> 00:02:55.587
Slice of current history and see
00:02:55.587 --> 00:02:58.690
A broken washington.
00:02:58.690 --> 00:03:02.461
Look at this biblical history
00:03:03.095 --> 00:03:06.131
Covering a brief 57
00:03:06.131 --> 00:03:08.767
Years, a broken jerusalem.
00:03:08.767 --> 00:03:11.470
And we begin with the end of the life of solomon.
00:03:11.470 --> 00:03:16.508
And these words are written in first kings 11, verse nine.
00:03:16.508 --> 00:03:20.612
Now the lord was angry with solomon
00:03:21.346 --> 00:03:24.850
Because his heart was turned
00:03:24.850 --> 00:03:27.719
Away from the lord.
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.822
Nobody
00:03:31.023 --> 00:03:33.325
Ever had a more auspicious
00:03:33.325 --> 00:03:36.361
Beginning than solomon.
00:03:36.361 --> 00:03:40.098
He had everything.
00:03:40.532 --> 00:03:43.402
His dad was.
00:03:43.402 --> 00:03:44.436
David left him a kingdom, gave him a man
00:03:44.436 --> 00:03:49.241
Who discipled him and the ways of god.
00:03:49.241 --> 00:03:52.611
As a young man, god presented himself to solomon
00:03:52.611 --> 00:03:57.015
In a vision and said, whatever you want.
00:03:57.015 --> 00:04:00.652
Here's a blank check.
00:04:00.652 --> 00:04:01.753
And solomon asked for wisdom and god gave it to him.
00:04:01.753 --> 00:04:06.692
I could make a case that solomon was the most
00:04:06.692 --> 00:04:09.895
Gifted, naturally gifted man who's ever walked this earth.
00:04:09.895 --> 00:04:13.565
He was an architect. he was a poet.
00:04:13.565 --> 00:04:15.934
He was a writer. he was a builder.
00:04:15.934 --> 00:04:18.403
He was a statesman.
00:04:18.403 --> 00:04:19.838
He was a visionary.
00:04:19.838 --> 00:04:21.707
He was a horticulturist, you name it.
00:04:21.707 --> 00:04:24.509
And solomon achieved in so many of the areas of life.
00:04:24.509 --> 00:04:28.580
But solomon at the end of his life
00:04:29.314 --> 00:04:32.651
Had broken every provision of the covenant.
00:04:32.651 --> 00:04:36.121
Every king of israel made with almighty
00:04:36.121 --> 00:04:38.957
God listed in deuteronomy chapter 17.
00:04:38.957 --> 00:04:42.194
There were four things that a king could not do.
00:04:42.194 --> 00:04:46.698
Number one,
00:04:47.032 --> 00:04:49.234
He could not have numerous horses.
00:04:49.234 --> 00:04:52.037
What did that mean?
00:04:52.037 --> 00:04:53.905
That meant
00:04:53.905 --> 00:04:55.006
He could not be someone who sought personal wealth.
00:04:55.006 --> 00:04:57.809
It was demonstrated in horses, it was demonstrated in power.
00:04:57.809 --> 00:05:01.680
And solomon had numerous horses.
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.449
I have been to israel and i have been in the ruins
00:05:04.449 --> 00:05:07.652
Of the stables of solomon, a wealthy man
00:05:07.652 --> 00:05:11.123
Who collected horses from around the world.
00:05:11.123 --> 00:05:13.492
He broke the first provision of the covenant.
00:05:13.492 --> 00:05:16.595
Secondly, he should not be a man
00:05:17.295 --> 00:05:19.564
Who had much gold and silver.
00:05:19.564 --> 00:05:22.167
And we see that solomon
00:05:22.167 --> 00:05:23.435
Ended up by measuring current standards
00:05:23.435 --> 00:05:27.005
Of being the wealthiest man who has ever lived.
00:05:27.005 --> 00:05:30.942
He accumulated for israel and particularly for himself,
00:05:30.942 --> 00:05:33.945
Gold and silver.
00:05:33.945 --> 00:05:35.046
Now somebody say, time out, time out.
00:05:35.046 --> 00:05:38.350
Don't you know solomon built the temple of the lord?
00:05:38.350 --> 00:05:41.186
Yes he did.
00:05:41.186 --> 00:05:42.587
But before he built
00:05:42.587 --> 00:05:43.955
The temple of god, he built a palace for himself
00:05:43.955 --> 00:05:47.726
That was twice
00:05:47.726 --> 00:05:48.927
The size of the temple, and spent five times more
00:05:48.927 --> 00:05:52.597
On his personal palace than he did on the house of god.
00:05:52.597 --> 00:05:56.435
So he broke the second provision.
00:05:57.202 --> 00:06:00.071
He became a man of wealth, and he broke the third provision.
00:06:00.071 --> 00:06:06.645
And then that he married many, many wives.
00:06:06.645 --> 00:06:10.348
The bible said he had 700 wives
00:06:10.348 --> 00:06:13.251
And 300 concubines.
00:06:13.251 --> 00:06:16.988
So he threw himself in a hedonistic, sensual lifestyle,
00:06:16.988 --> 00:06:21.726
Enjoying the pleasures of the flesh,
00:06:22.527 --> 00:06:25.230
The lust of the eye,
00:06:25.230 --> 00:06:26.331
The lust of the flesh and the pride of life.
00:06:26.331 --> 00:06:28.366
And finally he broke the fourth provision of his covenant
00:06:28.366 --> 00:06:31.837
With god, in that he became an idolater.
00:06:31.837 --> 00:06:36.374
At the end of his life, he had pushed the god of
00:06:36.374 --> 00:06:40.345
Abraham, isaac, and jacob way out on the periphery,
00:06:40.345 --> 00:06:44.549
Way out over there, out there somewhere.
00:06:44.549 --> 00:06:47.519
And he worship and all the pagan idols that
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.789
All of his wives, his foreign wives, had brought in,
00:06:50.789 --> 00:06:54.426
They had us right on the mountain, us right on the hill.
00:06:54.426 --> 00:06:57.963
They had a pagan temple here.
00:06:57.963 --> 00:06:59.631
They offered sacrifice.
00:06:59.631 --> 00:07:01.066
They burn incense here.
00:07:01.066 --> 00:07:02.434
And solomon sold himself out to idolatry.
00:07:02.434 --> 00:07:07.072
That is the reason you read his autobiography, ecclesiastes.
00:07:07.072 --> 00:07:11.076
He says 84 different times.
00:07:11.076 --> 00:07:14.513
Vanity, vanity, vanity, all this vanity, vanity,
00:07:14.513 --> 00:07:18.049
Vanity.
00:07:18.049 --> 00:07:19.117
His life ended up being useless and meaningless as
00:07:19.117 --> 00:07:22.354
Far as he was concerned.
00:07:22.354 --> 00:07:25.557
So we see a man
00:07:25.924 --> 00:07:28.159
Who contributed to broken jerusalem by his own lifestyle.
00:07:28.159 --> 00:07:32.397
By the way, does it surprise anybody?
00:07:32.397 --> 00:07:34.332
He became an adulterer.
00:07:34.332 --> 00:07:36.067
I see that happen all the time.
00:07:36.067 --> 00:07:38.770
People start off strong with the god.
00:07:38.770 --> 00:07:41.806
Oh, they get horses, not horses,
00:07:41.806 --> 00:07:44.676
But they become successful and become possessed.
00:07:44.676 --> 00:07:49.314
They make money and with money there comes power.
00:07:49.314 --> 00:07:52.250
With power there comes a life of hedonistic pleasure.
00:07:52.250 --> 00:07:56.087
And then finally,
00:07:56.521 --> 00:07:57.756
Because they have moved along the path of power and money
00:07:57.756 --> 00:08:02.527
And now pleasure,
00:08:02.527 --> 00:08:03.828
They moved away
00:08:03.828 --> 00:08:04.963
From the principles of god so many, many, many times.
00:08:04.963 --> 00:08:07.866
And they have to worship
00:08:07.866 --> 00:08:09.234
Other things and worship other idols,
00:08:09.234 --> 00:08:11.303
Because that is prohibitive to the lord god almighty.
00:08:11.303 --> 00:08:15.106
So we see a broken jerusalem in solomon's day.
00:08:16.074 --> 00:08:18.810
But you say, wait a minute, he had a son.
00:08:18.810 --> 00:08:21.479
And always with a change of leadership.
00:08:21.479 --> 00:08:24.983
When did the bible says the people did evil
00:08:24.983 --> 00:08:27.719
In the sight of the lord?
00:08:27.719 --> 00:08:28.753
Because solomon did even the sight of the lord.
00:08:28.753 --> 00:08:31.690
Maybe with his son rehab, there would be a change.
00:08:31.690 --> 00:08:34.759
Look at rehab boom there in chapter 12, at his inauguration
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:39.564
When he was installed as king.
00:08:40.165 --> 00:08:42.334
Look what happened.
00:08:42.334 --> 00:08:45.370
First kings 12, verse four.
00:08:45.971 --> 00:08:48.974
Your father made our yoke.
00:08:48.974 --> 00:08:51.309
That's solomon there speaking.
00:08:51.309 --> 00:08:53.612
The people are speaking to real boom hard.
00:08:53.612 --> 00:08:56.615
Now therefore, enlighten the hard service
00:08:56.615 --> 00:08:59.317
Of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us,
00:08:59.317 --> 00:09:02.654
And we will serve you.
00:09:02.654 --> 00:09:05.423
The people are saying, we will serve you
00:09:05.423 --> 00:09:08.026
As our leader.
00:09:08.026 --> 00:09:08.994
If you will take the taxes and all the burden
00:09:08.994 --> 00:09:12.631
Of work and labor that your father put on us
00:09:12.631 --> 00:09:16.034
To build this empire for himself,
00:09:16.034 --> 00:09:18.203
If you will lighten that up, we will serve you.
00:09:18.203 --> 00:09:21.439
But real did not listen to the people,
00:09:21.439 --> 00:09:25.577
And then we see the next thing that happened.
00:09:26.444 --> 00:09:29.147
Verse 13, the king answered the people harshly,
00:09:29.147 --> 00:09:34.052
For he forsook
00:09:34.386 --> 00:09:35.720
The advice of the elders which they had given him.
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.957
In other words, he exercised poor discernment.
00:09:38.957 --> 00:09:41.693
The elders told him to
00:09:41.693 --> 00:09:43.728
Lighten up the taxes, the burden to back up
00:09:43.728 --> 00:09:46.398
On the big government that they had
00:09:46.398 --> 00:09:48.366
Let the people have a voice.
00:09:48.366 --> 00:09:50.335
But he's listened to the advice of the young men
00:09:50.335 --> 00:09:53.204
Who surrounded him, his peers and his contemporaries.
00:09:53.204 --> 00:09:56.374
And therefore we see what happened in broken
00:09:56.374 --> 00:10:00.278
Jerusalem that exercised poor discernment.
00:10:00.278 --> 00:10:05.150
And look at the next thing that he did.
00:10:05.150 --> 00:10:07.085
Verse 14 and rehab spake to them,
00:10:07.085 --> 00:10:10.922
This is the people, according to the advice of the young men,
00:10:10.922 --> 00:10:13.625
Saying, my father, this was solomon,
00:10:13.625 --> 00:10:16.628
Made your yoke heavy, but i will add to your yoke.
00:10:16.628 --> 00:10:20.165
My father disciplined you with whips, but
00:10:20.165 --> 00:10:23.001
I will discipline you with scorpions.
00:10:23.001 --> 00:10:26.471
And then we see that we're both governed
00:10:26.471 --> 00:10:31.309
Through fear and bribery.
00:10:31.876 --> 00:10:36.014
My thesis is we see a parallel
00:10:36.614 --> 00:10:39.350
Today as we look at broken washington,
00:10:39.350 --> 00:10:43.121
As we have just looked at broken jerusalem.
00:10:43.121 --> 00:10:47.726
And broken washington today,
00:10:48.326 --> 00:10:50.729
I believe washington is not listening to the people.
00:10:50.729 --> 00:10:55.734
In a recent gallup poll, we read that
00:10:55.734 --> 00:10:58.436
91% of people
00:10:58.436 --> 00:11:01.239
In america believe in god.
00:11:01.239 --> 00:11:04.242
Yet we have a secular government which is proper. our
00:11:04.242 --> 00:11:09.047
Was said to be secular, but the secular government
00:11:09.047 --> 00:11:12.150
Is trying to sexualize our society.
00:11:12.150 --> 00:11:14.953
A secular government functions in a pluralistic society
00:11:14.953 --> 00:11:18.990
So that a god fearing society can function.
00:11:18.990 --> 00:11:22.160
But when a secular government tries to make the society
00:11:22.160 --> 00:11:25.830
Secular, god out of schools, god out of business,
00:11:25.830 --> 00:11:30.001
God out of athletics,
00:11:30.001 --> 00:11:31.603
God out of everything, then they're trying to create
00:11:31.603 --> 00:11:34.272
A secular society from a minority of people
00:11:34.272 --> 00:11:37.575
Because the overwhelming number of miracles believe in god.
00:11:37.575 --> 00:11:42.147
Washington, the legislative and the judiciary branches are
00:11:42.147 --> 00:11:46.718
Not listening to the people, just like in real bombs day.
00:11:46.718 --> 00:11:57.061
As we approach
00:11:57.395 --> 00:11:58.329
Our fiscal year end on july the 31st.
00:11:58.329 --> 00:12:01.900
We're also approaching a historic milestone.
00:12:01.900 --> 00:12:05.270
Think about it.
00:12:05.637 --> 00:12:06.538
America's 250th anniversary.
00:12:06.538 --> 00:12:10.775
And as we reflect on what built this nation
00:12:10.775 --> 00:12:14.112
Faith, family and freedom,
00:12:14.112 --> 00:12:16.981
Fellowship, joy, meaning, significance, a family
00:12:16.981 --> 00:12:21.252
Of god living together under the red, white and blue.
00:12:21.252 --> 00:12:24.355
As we live under the banner of america,
00:12:24.355 --> 00:12:27.659
We also recognize something deeply wrong.
00:12:27.659 --> 00:12:31.529
Biblical truth is being challenged.
00:12:31.529 --> 00:12:34.632
Families are under pressure and faith is no longer
00:12:34.632 --> 00:12:38.036
At the center of our culture.
00:12:38.036 --> 00:12:40.738
Now it's our turn.
00:12:40.738 --> 00:12:42.740
Our turn to stand for what matters most.
00:12:42.740 --> 00:12:45.877
Listen, when you request this much resource,
00:12:45.877 --> 00:12:49.414
You're helping us proclaim the truth of god's word,
00:12:49.414 --> 00:12:52.617
Strengthen families,
00:12:52.617 --> 00:12:53.618
And advance faith across this great nation.
00:12:53.618 --> 00:12:56.688
As i thank you, i would love to send you a signed
00:12:56.688 --> 00:13:00.658
Copy of my book, healing broken america,
00:13:00.658 --> 00:13:04.329
A book that i have written to help us understand
00:13:04.329 --> 00:13:07.398
And to navigate our way through all the challenges
00:13:07.398 --> 00:13:11.202
Of the 21st century in our land as we come to our fiscal
00:13:11.202 --> 00:13:15.540
Year end.
00:13:15.540 --> 00:13:16.608
I'm asking you to step forward in a meaningful way.
00:13:16.608 --> 00:13:19.677
Consider a gift of $250,
00:13:19.677 --> 00:13:23.615
Or really ten others, to give $25 a dollar
00:13:23.615 --> 00:13:27.285
For every year of our nation's existence.
00:13:27.285 --> 00:13:30.421
We give that to the winning walk so that it can continue
00:13:30.421 --> 00:13:33.992
To be broadcast around the world.
00:13:33.992 --> 00:13:37.262
Your support helps us bring biblical truth,
00:13:37.262 --> 00:13:40.231
Encouragement, and meaning across america.
00:13:40.231 --> 00:13:43.768
So let's stand together and believe god for renewal
00:13:43.768 --> 00:13:46.804
And revival in our great nation.
00:13:46.804 --> 00:13:50.541
For if america would catch far for christ,
00:13:50.541 --> 00:13:53.177
It would touch the entire world.
00:13:53.177 --> 00:13:55.713
Thank you.
00:13:55.713 --> 00:13:57.382
Making this possible with your participation
00:13:57.382 --> 00:14:00.418
In prayer and gifts to the winning walk.
00:14:00.418 --> 00:14:13.164
But by the
00:14:13.464 --> 00:14:14.399
Way, this has been going on for a long time.
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:17.735
Did you know since 1996
00:14:18.236 --> 00:14:20.605
To 2006, those ten years there,
00:14:20.605 --> 00:14:24.309
That pork barrel spending has gone up over 1,000%?
00:14:24.309 --> 00:14:28.713
By the way, i understand a lot of people understand
00:14:28.713 --> 00:14:30.915
Pork. let me explain what that is.
00:14:30.915 --> 00:14:32.550
You hear that? i don't know what that is.
00:14:32.550 --> 00:14:34.319
Let me tell you what it is not tough.
00:14:34.319 --> 00:14:37.088
In 1879, they would ship meat
00:14:37.088 --> 00:14:40.325
In barrels and to be filled with salt.
00:14:40.325 --> 00:14:43.061
And when they would undo those barrels,
00:14:43.061 --> 00:14:45.229
Some of the shipping people reached down in there
00:14:45.229 --> 00:14:47.231
And get a piece of salt pork
00:14:47.231 --> 00:14:48.866
And put it out and cover the barrel back up.
00:14:48.866 --> 00:14:51.703
And that was a special morsel.
00:14:51.703 --> 00:14:53.671
They would take out piece of salted pork.
00:14:53.671 --> 00:14:57.041
And that came in the political vocabulary.
00:14:57.041 --> 00:14:59.744
And now it's a part of almost everything we do in washington.
00:14:59.744 --> 00:15:04.415
Let me show you how that works.
00:15:05.049 --> 00:15:07.185
Let's just say, for example, that they had an idea
00:15:07.185 --> 00:15:09.988
To build a bridge from la to honolulu.
00:15:09.988 --> 00:15:12.890
That's a good project, cost a couple of dollars.
00:15:12.890 --> 00:15:15.827
That's no big deal.
00:15:15.827 --> 00:15:17.729
And let's say that i'm a representative from this area,
00:15:18.796 --> 00:15:22.100
And we want to build a giant lake out here
00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:25.003
In the middle of a park in the katy area.
00:15:25.003 --> 00:15:27.472
So we're going to build this giant lake for $4 million.
00:15:27.472 --> 00:15:30.942
And they got this brazilian dollar bill.
00:15:30.942 --> 00:15:33.044
And they say, look, if you vote for my bridge
00:15:33.044 --> 00:15:36.848
From la to honolulu, i'll give you that $4
00:15:36.848 --> 00:15:40.551
Million to build your lake there.
00:15:40.551 --> 00:15:42.086
And katie and i say, oh, whoopee, i'll do it.
00:15:42.086 --> 00:15:46.524
What i put on that bill is pork.
00:15:46.524 --> 00:15:50.061
It is pork.
00:15:50.395 --> 00:15:52.864
And that's what's happening.
00:15:52.864 --> 00:15:54.165
Let me show you, by the way,
00:15:54.165 --> 00:15:55.700
The president said in his campaign
00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:57.769
That he would eliminate all pork
00:15:57.769 --> 00:15:59.504
From any bills to come out of the white house.
00:15:59.504 --> 00:16:01.239
He did.
00:16:01.239 --> 00:16:02.373
He only had 8000 different poor things in the budget
00:16:02.373 --> 00:16:05.109
He presented just a few months ago.
00:16:05.109 --> 00:16:06.811
Only 8000 of these little porky spending for specialized
00:16:06.811 --> 00:16:10.448
Constituency paying off, i guess those who voted for it.
00:16:10.448 --> 00:16:13.718
By the way, this has been done through the years.
00:16:13.718 --> 00:16:15.753
Bush, all of them. clinton,
00:16:15.753 --> 00:16:18.856
Nixon go back.
00:16:19.190 --> 00:16:20.191
I mean, i'm not taking any prisoners.
00:16:20.191 --> 00:16:23.728
Yeah.
00:16:23.961 --> 00:16:25.396
I'm apolitical.
00:16:25.396 --> 00:16:27.432
I'm mad at all of them
00:16:27.432 --> 00:16:30.234
Because washington is broken.
00:16:30.234 --> 00:16:33.104
Let me show you some of the pork
00:16:33.805 --> 00:16:35.239
That's come down recently. you'll love this.
00:16:35.239 --> 00:16:37.442
This is some of these added 1 million for the new york
00:16:37.442 --> 00:16:41.312
Woodstock museum, proposed by senator hillary clinton
00:16:41.312 --> 00:16:44.082
And senator charles schumer, 192 million for u.s.
00:16:44.082 --> 00:16:47.585
Territories.
00:16:47.585 --> 00:16:48.352
Rum industries,
00:16:48.352 --> 00:16:49.687
Rum imported from puerto rico and the us virgin islands.
00:16:49.687 --> 00:16:53.391
$460,750.
00:16:53.391 --> 00:16:55.993
Research for the produce new hops for beer
00:16:55.993 --> 00:16:59.430
$107,000 to study the sex life of japanese quail.
00:16:59.430 --> 00:17:03.901
Now they're spending with something good.
00:17:03.901 --> 00:17:05.603
I'm fine.
00:17:05.603 --> 00:17:06.437
1.2 million to study the breeding
00:17:06.437 --> 00:17:09.607
Habits of the woodchuck 150,000 to study the hatfield
00:17:09.607 --> 00:17:13.444
Mccoy feud. i'd have done that for 75,000.
00:17:13.444 --> 00:17:16.080
And tell them about that 144,000.
00:17:16.080 --> 00:17:19.517
The sea of pigeons follow human economic laws.
00:17:19.517 --> 00:17:23.254
Do you see where we are?
00:17:23.254 --> 00:17:25.490
You say, well, you're being a politician.
00:17:26.324 --> 00:17:28.392
No, i'm talking about an insidious, deadly moral
00:17:28.392 --> 00:17:32.096
Climate that's infected washington, dc.
00:17:32.096 --> 00:17:35.566
Washington is broken now.
00:17:36.134 --> 00:17:41.072
Let's talk about some answers.
00:17:41.672 --> 00:17:44.642
Let's talk about some answers.
00:17:45.243 --> 00:17:59.223
Federal government.
00:17:59.690 --> 00:18:03.528
State of texas.
00:18:03.895 --> 00:18:06.797
We the people.
00:18:07.131 --> 00:18:12.003
Listen carefully.
00:18:12.436 --> 00:18:17.175
You have to know the difference between what happened
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.177
And the french revolution. follow me.
00:18:19.177 --> 00:18:21.679
And the american revolution and the french revolution.
00:18:21.679 --> 00:18:25.883
The philosopher of rousseau rovers, pierre,
00:18:25.883 --> 00:18:28.719
Was the one who did all the dirty work
00:18:28.719 --> 00:18:30.354
And headed up all the beheading.
00:18:30.354 --> 00:18:32.490
The french in their revolution had the idea that everybody,
00:18:32.490 --> 00:18:35.927
Every human being, was born innocent and pure.
00:18:35.927 --> 00:18:39.297
It is the society of the culture that has corrupted
00:18:39.297 --> 00:18:42.466
Us. that was their philosophy of human life,
00:18:42.466 --> 00:18:45.403
And therefore they wanted to build,
00:18:45.403 --> 00:18:47.438
Beginning with a committee.
00:18:47.438 --> 00:18:49.173
A utopian society
00:18:49.173 --> 00:18:50.908
That would not corrupt the children as they were born.
00:18:50.908 --> 00:18:54.545
And they tried to build that utopian society.
00:18:54.545 --> 00:18:57.748
And the result was
00:18:57.748 --> 00:18:59.350
They got a dictator named the podium bonaparte,
00:18:59.350 --> 00:19:02.820
The united states revolution.
00:19:03.454 --> 00:19:05.590
Our constitution was drawn up by christians and deist,
00:19:05.590 --> 00:19:10.094
And they had a different understanding of a human being.
00:19:10.094 --> 00:19:12.964
They had the idea we were all born sinners.
00:19:12.964 --> 00:19:16.734
Original sin, original sin.
00:19:16.734 --> 00:19:20.271
Nobody had to teach you or me how to cheat or lie
00:19:20.271 --> 00:19:22.873
Or be prideful to deceitful or to look, you know, i just
00:19:22.873 --> 00:19:25.876
I learned so i just it was born.
00:19:25.876 --> 00:19:28.012
It was built in us that bent toward sin.
00:19:28.012 --> 00:19:31.015
That's called the fall, the original sin.
00:19:31.015 --> 00:19:33.117
And therefore our constitution was drawn up
00:19:33.117 --> 00:19:36.921
Not to create a utopian society,
00:19:36.921 --> 00:19:39.457
But from those christians
00:19:39.457 --> 00:19:40.725
That this with the idea that all have sinned.
00:19:40.725 --> 00:19:43.628
And therefore you have checks and balances in our government
00:19:43.628 --> 00:19:47.164
To allow for the sinfulness in human beings.
00:19:47.164 --> 00:19:49.867
That is the basic difference.
00:19:49.867 --> 00:19:51.636
That is the rock of our constitution.
00:19:51.636 --> 00:19:53.638
And in the beginning,
00:19:53.638 --> 00:19:56.107
I can tell you
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:58.609
That the power was vested in
00:19:58.609 --> 00:20:01.145
We the people.
00:20:01.145 --> 00:20:04.215
I spill some i may go
00:20:04.715 --> 00:20:06.284
In politics.
00:20:06.284 --> 00:20:09.420
Is invested in we the people.
00:20:10.054 --> 00:20:11.989
That was where the power was.
00:20:11.989 --> 00:20:14.225
And i can tell you that when
00:20:14.225 --> 00:20:17.161
The constitution was ratified,
00:20:17.762 --> 00:20:19.563
The state of virginia, they did not ratify it
00:20:19.563 --> 00:20:22.967
Until there was also a bill of rights.
00:20:22.967 --> 00:20:25.836
And the constitution begins with we the people.
00:20:25.836 --> 00:20:28.673
And i just reread it this week and looked over it
00:20:28.673 --> 00:20:32.410
Again to understand exactly it's clear english.
00:20:32.410 --> 00:20:36.213
And the people and our founders were very careful
00:20:36.213 --> 00:20:39.417
That a little power was given to the states,
00:20:39.417 --> 00:20:42.920
And then the state was given a little power
00:20:43.788 --> 00:20:46.957
To the federal government.
00:20:46.957 --> 00:21:00.771
Now, that's the way
00:21:01.238 --> 00:21:03.974
The documents are written, make no mistake about it.
00:21:03.974 --> 00:21:08.346
And it starts with we the people
00:21:08.346 --> 00:21:11.449
And the 10th amendment, and the original ends with
00:21:11.449 --> 00:21:14.452
To the people, jefferson said.
00:21:14.452 --> 00:21:17.555
That's the perfect circle.
00:21:17.555 --> 00:21:20.424
We, the people have the power.
00:21:20.424 --> 00:21:22.693
It's all about us.
00:21:22.693 --> 00:21:24.095
We give a little
00:21:24.095 --> 00:21:25.129
The states,
00:21:25.129 --> 00:21:26.130
The state gives a little the federal government
00:21:26.130 --> 00:21:27.598
And any powers that i mentioned.
00:21:27.598 --> 00:21:29.200
It goes back to the people,
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.335
Says the last words, the 10th amendment.
00:21:31.335 --> 00:21:34.271
And this is how we are to function,
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:36.874
What is happening in our day.
00:21:36.874 --> 00:21:38.376
And it we're all guilty, democrats
00:21:38.376 --> 00:21:40.611
And republicans, bigger and bigger and more
00:21:40.611 --> 00:21:42.413
And more and more expensive and more expensive.
00:21:42.413 --> 00:21:44.548
And now the power is
00:21:44.548 --> 00:21:46.016
Basically vested in the federal government,
00:21:46.016 --> 00:21:48.052
And they want to control and rule
00:21:48.052 --> 00:21:50.454
And operate and dominate everything in our society.
00:21:50.454 --> 00:21:53.524
And now they want
00:21:53.524 --> 00:21:54.692
To take over our health part, which is what, one, 6 or 1
00:21:54.692 --> 00:21:57.695
Fifth of our economy.
00:21:57.695 --> 00:21:58.963
I guess they doom the basis
00:21:58.963 --> 00:22:00.431
Of the good job they've done with the post office.
00:22:00.431 --> 00:22:02.600
That's all i can figure out.
00:22:02.600 --> 00:22:06.871
So this is where we are today.
00:22:07.471 --> 00:22:10.708
Now, what is part of the answer to this?
00:22:10.708 --> 00:22:12.510
Remember, the foundation of all of this
00:22:12.510 --> 00:22:16.147
Is based on a biblical worldview.
00:22:16.147 --> 00:22:19.750
Remember the
00:22:20.084 --> 00:22:20.785
Important questions who am i?
00:22:20.785 --> 00:22:23.788
We understand that from creation.
00:22:23.788 --> 00:22:27.224
Creation.
00:22:27.525 --> 00:22:28.125
Who am i?
00:22:28.125 --> 00:22:29.994
Who are you?
00:22:29.994 --> 00:22:31.095
I am made in the image of god.
00:22:31.095 --> 00:22:33.764
That's a human being.
00:22:33.764 --> 00:22:34.865
That's the dignity of man. i am made,
00:22:34.865 --> 00:22:37.168
According to the psalmist, by divine prescription.
00:22:37.168 --> 00:22:40.037
You were made by divine prescription by god.
00:22:40.037 --> 00:22:43.374
When your mother and daddy came together in love, and
00:22:43.374 --> 00:22:47.077
They were co-creators with god in making you and making you.
00:22:47.077 --> 00:22:50.614
That is creation.
00:22:50.614 --> 00:22:51.749
That is the word this world came from.
00:22:51.749 --> 00:22:54.452
That is basic truth, the creation.
00:22:54.452 --> 00:22:58.656
And then we look at what happened.
00:22:58.656 --> 00:23:00.691
There is the fall, there is original sin.
00:23:00.691 --> 00:23:03.093
And we have to have a question of what's the source of evil?
00:23:03.093 --> 00:23:07.031
How did we get in this mess?
00:23:07.031 --> 00:23:09.400
That's the fall of man,
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:12.336
The bent toward evil, the checks and balances
00:23:12.336 --> 00:23:15.806
We have in our government built on this.
00:23:15.806 --> 00:23:18.509
This is a sub slower.
00:23:18.509 --> 00:23:19.944
This is the foundation of it all.
00:23:19.944 --> 00:23:21.612
And finally, there is redemption.
00:23:21.612 --> 00:23:23.881
There's a redemption.
00:23:23.881 --> 00:23:25.683
There's a way of forgiveness and salvation.
00:23:25.683 --> 00:23:27.518
You like to get out of the mess that we're in.
00:23:27.518 --> 00:23:30.187
So we see how this comes together
00:23:30.955 --> 00:23:34.391
And understand something.
00:23:34.959 --> 00:23:37.228
The operative verse
00:23:37.228 --> 00:23:40.464
For healing broken america and healing
00:23:40.464 --> 00:23:43.033
Broken washington is second chronicles 714.
00:23:43.033 --> 00:23:47.972
Listen to it.
00:23:47.972 --> 00:23:49.773
If my people,
00:23:49.773 --> 00:23:53.277
We the people beginning of the constitution
00:23:53.277 --> 00:23:56.714
To the people in the 10th amendment of the constitution.
00:23:56.714 --> 00:24:00.050
Now, if my people
00:24:00.050 --> 00:24:02.119
Who are called by my name, how do we heal america?
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:06.323
That's all of us.
00:24:06.323 --> 00:24:07.224
We're called by the name of the lord.
00:24:07.224 --> 00:24:08.993
We say we're in god's camp, we're in church.
00:24:08.993 --> 00:24:11.629
It's my people. that's us.
00:24:11.629 --> 00:24:13.831
If my people who are called by my main
00:24:13.831 --> 00:24:15.933
That you and me, not them out there over there,
00:24:15.933 --> 00:24:18.836
Republicans, democrats, independent,
00:24:18.836 --> 00:24:20.871
This one and that one, we put all the blame.
00:24:20.871 --> 00:24:22.840
Oh, no.
00:24:22.840 --> 00:24:23.874
The way we lead to healing.
00:24:23.874 --> 00:24:25.109
If my people who are called by my name will do what?
00:24:25.109 --> 00:24:28.345
Humble themselves.
00:24:28.345 --> 00:24:30.948
The republicans ran the presidency
00:24:31.682 --> 00:24:34.184
In both houses of congress just a few years back.
00:24:34.184 --> 00:24:38.722
Did you see an overabundance of humility then?
00:24:38.722 --> 00:24:43.627
Do you see any more humility
00:24:44.228 --> 00:24:46.163
Today with the democrats running it?
00:24:46.163 --> 00:24:48.198
I didn't see humility then.
00:24:48.198 --> 00:24:49.567
I don't see humility today.
00:24:49.567 --> 00:24:52.703
We're talking about healing.
00:24:53.304 --> 00:24:56.507
If my people who are called by my knee humble themselves
00:24:57.641 --> 00:25:01.879
And pray and seek my face, what does that mean?
00:25:01.879 --> 00:25:04.848
To seek the will and the plan and the purpose of god.
00:25:04.848 --> 00:25:07.885
That's what it means to seek his face,
00:25:07.885 --> 00:25:11.355
Humble, pray, seek his face
00:25:11.956 --> 00:25:13.924
And turn from your wicked ways.
00:25:13.924 --> 00:25:16.794
That's all of us, ladies and gentlemen.
00:25:16.794 --> 00:25:19.196
That's not them or thus.
00:25:19.196 --> 00:25:20.731
Or somebody or someone.
00:25:20.731 --> 00:25:22.232
That's all of us who name will turn from their wicked ways.
00:25:22.232 --> 00:25:25.603
What does god promise?
00:25:25.603 --> 00:25:28.973
I will hear from heaven.
00:25:29.506 --> 00:25:32.576
I'll forgive your sin.
00:25:32.576 --> 00:25:36.413
And i'll heal your land.
00:25:36.947 --> 00:25:40.417
I'll heal your land.
00:25:40.884 --> 00:25:44.855
Ladies and gentlemen.
00:25:45.356 --> 00:25:49.827
That is.
00:25:50.094 --> 00:25:54.198
The only path
00:25:54.565 --> 00:25:57.001
To the healing of america.
00:25:57.001 --> 00:26:02.373
America the beautiful, our country
00:26:03.107 --> 00:26:06.343
After home sweet home.
00:26:06.343 --> 00:26:08.379
But our america is hurting.
00:26:08.379 --> 00:26:10.981
We see it in our fractured, divided communities
00:26:10.981 --> 00:26:13.917
And in our struggling families.
00:26:13.917 --> 00:26:16.620
God's answer for a broken nation has never been found
00:26:16.620 --> 00:26:19.857
In politics, power, or human effort alone.
00:26:19.857 --> 00:26:23.627
God says, if my people who are called by
00:26:23.627 --> 00:26:26.697
My name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and
00:26:26.697 --> 00:26:31.368
Turn from their wicked ways, then i will hear from heaven,
00:26:31.368 --> 00:26:34.938
Forgive their sin, and heal their land.
00:26:34.938 --> 00:26:38.776
Healing begins when god's people return to him.
00:26:38.776 --> 00:26:42.279
In his powerful book, healing broken america.
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:45.783
Doctor jung explores the spiritual path toward
00:26:45.783 --> 00:26:48.686
Healing and restoration through faith, family,
00:26:48.686 --> 00:26:52.156
And the values that have shaped generations of americans.
00:26:52.156 --> 00:26:55.826
Because when
00:26:55.826 --> 00:26:56.860
Hearts are transformed by god, lives are changed,
00:26:56.860 --> 00:27:00.497
Families are restored, and the nation can begin to heal.
00:27:00.497 --> 00:27:04.435
