Now back to a chosen generation with Pastor Grace generation. No topic is off limits and everything filtered through biblical glasses and I'm so pleased to welcome my next guest of the program. He is the director of public relations and communications for first Liberty first Liberty Institute first liberty.org is working fine at first liberty.and let me welcome life and wants life and welcome hey good to have you.

Good to have you so question for you, sir. Let's let's begin.

Talk to me about the US Supreme Court that you're going to the Supreme Court because a a sitting in Virginia has denied tax-exempt status to a church right and not Virginia there's a college ministry basically like a campus ministry house that a lot of other churches have similar facilities and discharge their campus ministry there, and the two ministers that lived there in the house campus ministry in the city denied there like a parsonage McMansion where your church is to provide housing for pastors and property documented and the city denied this churches exemption based on the city's own interpretation of the presbyterian book of Church order of the city interpreted Terrien book of Church order to say that the qualifies ministers and therefore this is an apartment or contact you and there is long, long-standing president in history and tradition in this country that we are not let government interpret religious texts are people that it is not up to the government to decide. He was a minister and who isn't.

Churches at exactly what's going on here so I paid Municipal Court and Virginia state court basically in one sentence agreement course over Supreme Court and I will be filing that sprinkler will take it remind me of Fredericksburg and concord another business is a minister.

Absolutely not. Absolutely not and and the site and even the IRS code and there's I know there's argument that the you know I believe it's 508 a that says that churches are automatically exempt.

There get their exams right so you know it. It did this nonsense of having a city command and and try to you. You know make the determination that that's it's it's really kind of a scary thing when you stop and think about that that you do not want the government starting is not a minister of your church do not want the government starting to interfere in the internal workings of your church you want to government and their siding because it was meant to keep the government out of God's business, not anywhere around. And that is exactly you know, I mean lady a mic in my early part of this program. We did a lot with us and ministries in the Ukraine and we used to have a gentleman that came on and spoke to us about what was happening over there in about 10 years ago and you know they would talk about how the Russian government when they would go they would literally have to sneak back into Russia because they had orphans. They were taking care of their and how the Russian government would literally sit in the back of the church and take notes on what the pastor said and if that pastor got out of line or said something that that government found to be in an offensive or what have you there. There would be major consequences to pay for that church and that and that minister he may get a warning but that's it, Navy, and if he didn't heed the warning he and his family were off to jail don't want state control of religion to get it. The biggest difference between shipping target our government grant rights versus founders wrote the declaration stated that God grant of rights and government only job is to protect you start on the road of light coming from government what government can take away 100% 100% and that I think Hannah leads into the issue of the packing of the court because one of the reasons for the pushing back against that is that if the judiciary is fully politicized so that you have appointments based on their political worldview so that you can ram these kind of things through and and not have any kind of balance that's really where the concern lies in my MI on target with that statement laden to the court and the court that there is there's no going back. Start the other side want bear and control of the legislative executive branch will retaliate and then they'll advocate radical balance.

The court back or whatever and you end up with the court being a political football. Just another intention of the legislature which it was never intended to be one of three separate and coequal branches and part of the judiciary role is when the executive branch of the legislative branch get outline of an unconstitutional they have authority to say so. But if you start packing the court with people for the sole purpose of return.

According to a rubberstamp in your agenda, then it just another legislative body with zero accountability can these people are appointed for life. The reason there are appointed for life, and that was to insulate them from the political whims of the day the people of the popular political opinion is expressed through the legislature and entered into a law, not law conflicts with the Constitution. The judiciary's job to say no.

This is complex with the Constitution.

If the people want it bad enough they can amend the Constitution.

But the reason the judges are given back her life are not electric. They're supposed to be above the political fray and just apply the Constitution to what's going on and once you start you down this road. There is no going back and.

It is bad for a lot of reasons, but one once people see the court as politicized the loose confidence in the courts decisions are your existential threat to our Republican little our Republican form of government. Yeah, you're taking and this is the thing where again and I talked in the first half-hour bit about you know the stealing of definitions and you know when when people talk about this left right thing and they talk about left right when it comes to the Supreme Court. People like you and I all were asking for is that the jurists that we put on the court are going to follow the Constitution with its original intent that there get a look at the hundred and 50 years worth of legal documentation that that gives clear interpretation as to how the Constitution was intended to be applied and then look at the cases that come before it and make decisions accordingly based on those precedents.

That's all were asking.

That's it. We know that they're going to be times when they're going to say things will work were not gonna like the outcome necessarily that may be the case because we may want something that you know really just doesn't quite line up.

Okay you know I mean I like you know the whole country to be professing Christianity for two reasons impart the largest reason is is I love people and I really believe there's a heaven and a hell and I want everybody to be say because I don't want anybody to go to hell.

I don't want anybody to end up under the judgment the wrath of God because of their bad decisions. Now, on the other hand, I also like that because II think that we would have a happier place, we'd all be getting along. We would we would have you know so much commonality in that but you don't do it. Should a lot be put in place that mandate something like that. No and if if there was this one. I would expect a constitutional Supreme Court to shoot that down and say pastor Greg can have that kind of a law that exactly right. And you can be or something you been before something with and be against mandating you can be against something and be against banning right it in our schools get along in a hurry and civil society, and then you measures on the nothing important that the outcome of a decision may not be heaven. I agree with but if it was decided on the correct principal then I can respect that and that is the difference between the way some people in this country. View the courts.

Wait there and some judges might view their role through the lens out. Well I gotta come up with the right outcome.

And it's really not edge of the late Justice Scalia any judge that is happy about every decision he reaches is a bad judge, applying the principle correctly may lead to results that you don't like, but the principle itself is more important and and that's what just as you said is why we need jurists who are willing to apply the Constitution as it was written as it was intended and let the chips fall where they may. If you like outcome. They have remained available to them in the Constitution, you can rewrite the law in a way that does fit with the Constitution to get you want but packing the Supreme Court is not how you go about it. It's at that point you no longer under the rule of law rule of man and your rights, including religious liberty was that we depend are up, grabbed every two years never done an election every four years, I guess, grabbed on the presidential election to make an appointment. It is like God gives us free will is one as well, folks, and it's why you know I have people asked that wall them. Then we know why doesn't God just make it so that everybody because it it it's a choice as to whether or not to love.

It's a choice as to whether or not to obey. There's a drawing is a drawing and every person, but it it it is a it is a choice and you know I've learned for years and years of managing people, you know you trying a it is so much better to get people working for you that actually have the same vision and will come into agreement with you and and and work with you to accomplish the mission versus trying to hold somebody and make them do what you want them to do.

Those are the kinds of employees on a lot that is just check because it's awards a battle every day and it's the same it's the same principle.

Let's shift real quick. We've only got about a minute, hour or two, or minute and 1/2 left this situation with mask mandates and and mandatory vaccines you know whenever they start talking about teasing about whenever it starts, leaking out you you know that it's not too far behind that they may start trying to come down with this. There are there reasons why believers are going to say nowhere where we don't want that.

Talk to me about what we do well you can imagine a likable week has absolutely lit up the phone lines here in our office. What I would suggest if someone has a religious objection to taking vaccine website and click the get legal help button and fill out a short form that helps us keep track of all the requests you get in contact with and I want you clear your situation.

Look, I am for marriage between a man and a woman I am for life from conception. I am following the Bible and I believe that our founders started this nation on biblical principles time in support of our military and believe that America should play a role in world security. I believe our Constitution was intended for immoral people and that the Bible contains the only true moral code. I believe we are all born sinners, and the God in his grace and mercy, sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins, and that if we will confess our sins, he is just and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I believe salvation is not just accomplished a little prayer that is found in how transformation is lived out Jesus is to be the Lord of our lives and we should follow the precepts.

This is not legalism or works, but a life lived out in love and honor towards the one who died for my sins.

Faith without works is dead and is no faith at all. I believe that we will fall and that we need to have a repentant heart that God will ultimately bring us into perfect action Jesus Christ spirit man perfected and soulless man in progress. I believe that we are not to live in guilt and shame of the fall repents and get up and move closer to Jesus. I believe that if our nation will repent and turn from wickedness that God will heal our land.

I believe that as a Christian I must occupy till he comes and that's a call evil wicked and to warn about those acts as a part of the mandated Christianity to love also means to be willing to take the risk necessary to confront a friend with the truth in hopes that their heart will be turned because their life matters, even if it means in that moment they will possibly hate me. It means that I must risk scorn to stand for truth and that I can never sit silently by while evil attempts to conquer the that does not make me weak, strong, silent and not fearful just therefore, if you're my friend. We may not fully that I share what I share because I care if you strongly disagree with these beliefs. They are not debatable for me and you can if you choose, unfriend me. I do not say this in anger but in love. I wish for you eyes to see Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and God, not man gets to decide what is truth life and the way God bless you.
