My name is Brian Thomas and is always joy honor and a privilege to join you but I want to thank you for tuning you will if you have been with us over the last several weeks. You know, we have been running a series on how to keep the faith in college we have just been blessed by some wonderful college students who have came on a share with us how they are staying true to the faith even while on college campuses. So today were going to wrap up the series by having two elders join us and they're going to share with us in the way in which they help students to keep the faith in college. They are both with the Church of God in Christ and lead campus ministries want to first welcome Elder Andy Bogart who was ordained as an Elder on May 23, 2010.

He is the founder of the Church of God in Christ College campus ministry. So go to Bogart. I want to welcome you to the program and if you will speak to your responsibilities as head of the Church of God in Christ college campus ministries will you share your heart with your background about my well-trained and correct My role and establishment of all will go here I want to be present during the moment in the life of all of our, but time where our president will live GOING to be flooded with every possible political group organization. Lori Lockyer when our Bible Want them to be able to connect calling God while they were all done quite well on public Local empowerment of the Holy Ghost got the problem. One of the most look at the 53,007 out of think about. I believe that we are about to turn those numbers around Bible like never before. Our goal got quite the goal and vandalizing more info on the ground.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule to join us today to speak on this topic.

We are also honored to have Elder James facing who he is an elder at the open room Church of God in Christ, and he heads the God first campus ministry so it is always a joy and honor to have you been with us many times in the past, will you also speak to your responsibilities as head of God first campus ministries warning on the Bogart on the call with well working with able to share the good news of biblical worldview to go to college, the outstanding involvement of been like the choir cannot make a bad man, so that the not spoken so that biblical cards first. The most important thing that will not talk about about Bogart know that it shareable. Whatever type of food share that with somebody but it's so important that we shareable sharply with the college, like while go on short-term airfreight without the college but they sure Bogart will do. I want to thank you once again. Also Elder facing for taking time out of your schedule to come on and speak with us today is will want to begin with Andy and and this movement that is just sweeping the nation. I guess even sweep in the world is this woke movement, and I remember years ago when I first heard about it. I had no idea what they were talking about had to go and do some research and analysis to figure out what this is what would you talk to us about campus ministry and how it is addressing what is called this woke movement sure sure Brian a lot like you not line care of the people were you until I realized that all movement behind it and looking at the woke movement initially came about the creator where all racial prejudice, but we find it quickly. It can encompass awareness of equality regarding gender and sexual orientation Bible believing procurement billing matter what I believe what I hold true to biblical principles about your beleaguered duet. The apostle Paul instructed the lonely okay work that everything worked when apostle Paul spoke in first Thessalonians 523 the barrier. The people in the very God of peace will think about you holy person for clawing for about before anything else in the Christian journey. They were on should be at the forefront of everything that we say in everything you do. Movement organizations though they may have been founded public good thoughts and good principal. We must be very careful because they probably do have a good principal all applicable, that are contrary to the word of God and bold but away from a marketing plan for the gospel movement because when the word of God, a fruit will affect LIFE for movement left before the moment the thing about biblical principle and godliness saw come to James with the same question how has God first. Campus ministries gone about addressing this woke movement of monopoly fathers and 13 but at the thought of what what what shall therefore not Be Trodden Underfoot. The Light of the World. Well, Look What Already You Were Not the Fault of Her Were Not in the World Works, but Not All Boats Will Adopt Biblical Truth and All Mode Movement That a Comment about Mike, What We Note the Word of God Know Everything about the Need to Know Everything Government to the Scripture, Scripture, and Really Am Good at the Summit of What's Going on and I Love the Fact That Both of You Using Scripture As As a Support for Your Foundation and I Noticed the Same Thing with College Students That We've Had over the Last Several Weeks That Everyone Is Using the Bible That Is the Foundation That We Stand on Not Just Giving Personal Opinions, but We Are Here to Say What the Word of God Says I Want to Thank You Both for Sharing Those Stalls so and You Want to Come to You Next on the Topic of Critical Race Theory and and Black Lives Matter.

The Organization What Are Your Thoughts on How These Things Relate to College Students Today. Note Right.

And Black Lives Matter What. The Third One Thing That I Always Keep in Mind That I Have To Wear God and Getting Ready to Take and That They Are Our Future Doctors and Lawyers and Politicians.

But I Also Believe It's Important to Remind Them That Our Responsibility and the Gospel to All People, All People Matter to God. But When They Have All Been There in the Perfect Chain They Have To Have a Christian Date, Worldview, Biblical Worldview, All of the Church.

Look at What Paul Wrote to the Church and Reminded Her That There Is Neither Jew or Greek Bond nor Free to Mail the Year All One in Christ Jesus with the Understanding That Know What Affect the Culture and We Have To Remember God Body of Believers in God Love Every Body Felt so Entrenched in the Matter. Forget That God Is the God of the Bible, God Body Looking at like the Black Lives Matter Organization Statement Black Lives Matter, Let Me Clarify That Life That They Neglect like Matter. I Do Not Support Organization Different between the Statement of the Organization Organization Have Been a Supporter of the Community and As Well As the Black Transgender Lives Matter Movement Which Is a Bottle God That I Am I Cannot and Will Not Work. I Believe That All People Should Be Free to Fairly and Should Not Be Discriminated against in Any Manner, but I Also Believe That We Have of the Possibility Often. Why Would Linda Make That Clear All Our Responsibility As a Gospel Preacher Not Going out with a Highlight in One Form, but All the All People and All Work from about Our Responsibility to Do so and Promote the Organization That Highlight Something That We As Children of God. One on Anything to Promote Also Wanted to Combat the Word of God and the Faith-Based Community Back into What We're Trying to Do Were Probably People to Christ to Be Careful When We Line Ourselves up with Organization and What the Organization Also Doing the Background I May Not Be before, but They Put Also Link Himself to What We Have To Be Careful Not to Allow Ourselves to Be Caught up Again like I Cannot Support the Statement Black Lives Matter Because I like to Matter Organization That I Do Not Use You Presented so Much Wisdom in Your Your Response and I Love How You Also Stated One of My Favorite Phrases. The Biblical Worldview That Is Something That We Stress on His Radio Program.

The Importance of Having a Biblical Worldview Because That Is One of the Things That I See Lacking Today Even in so Many Who Go to Church but It Seems As Though When They're Looking at How to Carry out Day-To-Day Issues. Seems like They're Really Not Having and Embracing a Biblical Worldview. So I Really Want to Thank You and Commend You for That Excellent Response. So Were Going to Take a Short Break, but Folks Don't Go Away. On the Other Side Going to Come Back and Continue Our Discussion with Elder James Facing in Elder Andy Bogart Back with More on the Other Side of the Break You Are Tuned into God First Program You Are Listening to God First. If You Believe in What We Stand for God First, Fellowship with Us God for This Program Is Based on Matthew 633 but Seek First the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and All These Things Shall Be Added on Going Donation of $6.33 per Month You Can Help Us Share the Message of Placing God's Commands When Viewing the Issues of Our Culture, Please Visit Our Website God.org God First Bible Fellowship, PO Box 266, Knightdale, NC 27545 for More Information to the Conclusion of the Program Back to the Program Name Is Brian Thomas and I Have the Privilege Today You Speaking to Elder James Facing Elder Andy Bogart Both Leave College Campus Ministries in the Church of God in Christ. So We Wrapping up Our Series This Week on How to Keep the Faith in College and Lived to Sing with Us Things in Which They Are Facing in Addressing and How to Go about Encouraging Our College Students Today and so before the Break We Were Talking to Elder Andy Bogart. He Was Given the City a Response on Critical Race Theory in the Black Lives Matter Organization so Want to Make Come to You James, What Are Your Thoughts concerning These Two Movements Organizations When Only Thing I Want the Option of Our Club Started off of Her Left the Whole Organization Itself Would Never Be Structured around Support. God Built Tradition of What Family Comes to the Husband and Wife about How It Started to Believe Another Person on Death of the College, but without Support Black Lab Statement for Talking so It Is Very Important Not Sure That Any Group That You Orient on about Who Created What Was There Was a Great One or More the Almost along the Pockets of People That Something Big about What What What What Is Very Important on the College Student A Lot More Biblical Worldview of the A Lot Of Them Filled with White Mover There A Lot Better Going out and Share the Dock Were Borne out Multiple and Going out in the Street but Also Borne out Well, but A Lot Of Them Filled with Organizations That Will Do Enough to Be Lighting the World so I Think about My Black People Think God for All the All the Have Been Made, However, Not Being Man and What Happened near the Goat Black Lives Matter Is Almost Walk around Back from the Lord about One of the Young Man That Would Let You Walk around the House like I Cannot Be a Christian We Cannot Build up More Angry You Are so Right. Because These Movements Are Antithetical to the Christian Faith As You Said Because Christianity Teaches to Forgive When We Look at These Organizations They Teach to Get Even.

And so That That Is in Direct Contradiction to Our Faith. So the Sooner We Cannot Embrace Things like Critical Race Theory Black Lives Matter and I Want to Comb Next to You and Asked the Question of What Is Been Your Experience with with Black Liberation Theology, Have You Had Any Experience with Fadden and Have You Seen It Influenced Christian College Students. Personally I Never Really Had to Deal LOT with the Black Libertarian Theology. Many of the School That I Did with Your Local University Based on You Know We Do A Lot Of God, Which Is Really Hard for Our Theology and Document Very Closely Related, but I Believe Theology May Play a Part, without Geographic Run Organization That Public-School Private School, University of What We Do with Our Interest to Continue up the Presentation. The Word of God; the Question I Laughed with Remind Them of What God Said in Revelation That Afternoon, I Beheld a Great Multitude Number of All Nations and All for an All Phone before the Throne and before the Lamb, Clothed with White Robes, and All Private Allow Board up before God upon the World.

The Land Will Preacher a White Gospel or Black Gospel, but We Preach the Gospel to the World World Might Be. That Is Why Though We Are the Largest American Domination of the World.

Member Only Understand the Universe, Filled with a Diverse Population of All Need to Hear the Good News of the Gospel and That We Focus on the Gospel. We Focus on the Word You Don't Get Caught up in Transit. Don't Get Caught up in Things That Are Copper Verse 06 of the Word Believe the Word of God and What about You James Any Experience at All Was Black Liberation Theology, and College Campus Ministries One Out Of the Lot 5% of Them Were and Also Let Me Walk You over Did Not Know When You Wanted to Be a Group or Organization That That Murmur Delay in the Memo Color Black Is Black Hollow, Change in Your Claim That All You Got a Different Language for Inquiring Whatever You Want to Call It Back to We All Will All Abortive Iniquity Look for Albert Will Be No Court so Important Was to Show the Wall Were Imperfect Creatures and All My Selected so Important Black Liberation You Are Being Called We Got the Port Number. What the Word of God. One of Our Move in the Direction of the but Why Do You Believe What You Believe What You Believe the Question on the Coastal Right Because What I Find Today Is That so Many People Are Making an Idol Out Of the Race in Investor so Dangerous Because As You Stated We Have To Point Back to Jesus Christ Point Back to the Bible to God, and in That Is What Should Be the Center of Our Lives Not, I Will Raise Not Anything Else. And so There Are People out There That Are Doing That and That's Really What Black Liberation Theology Is Rooted in so Want to Wrap Things up with the Final Question I Want to Come Back to Andy. Another Movement That We See, That Is Really to Sweep in the World Right Now Is Always out There Is Just in Our Faces All the Time Is the LGBT Q Plus Movement.

So How Strong Is That on College Campuses Today Were You Seeing No Different with No Different from Different Geographical Area, but One Thing I Noted That the LDP LGB Community or Plot like That Matter, Every Other Week. Sgt. One Day on This Week That Communities Are More Billable Now More Than Ever. One Thing That I've Learned about the Proud to Be Billable ARE Not Only That, but They Will Take Every Opportunity Possible Give the Board to Push Their Thoughts and Ways of Life on Other That Are yet Trying to Decide Who They Want to Be in.

That Is Why It's so Important for Us and for Our Christian Rejected Good People Injected File Think the Father to Have the Holy Ghost and Any Other Group or Organization.

We Too Must Be All Fellow Prime.

I'm Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ for the Power of God under Salvation to Everyone and Also to the Greek. You Need to Be Good People Not Meeting Our Local Bible I Believe to Be Walking around the Yard.

We Need to Be out Track You to Be Having Prayer Walk Now for the World That Did Not Go Play like There Billable and They Wear Their Gear and the Black.

We Are Glad We Are Proud to Be Able Proud to Be Children of God without the Trial of the Fact That I Am on the Cross Promote. One Thing We Have To Do the Combat That We Have To Become Walkable, Can Be in the Background. We Can Be in Our Little World by Ourselves, but We Have To Be Comfortable out There in the Forefront Thing Where They Put Their Mode Would You Say That Sleazy Back a Decade Ago Because I Think A Lot Of Change over the Last 10 Years Anything Is Happening Fast Now. What Would You Say There Have Been Any Adjustments That You Have Had to Make As the Head of the College Campus Ministries and How You Address These Things That We Are Seeing Now. The Bottle-Fed Account of the Lord Forever. Part of the Alteration and What That Meant and May Change. Groups and Organizations Make a Mobile Meadowlark about One Thing Remains the Word of God, and We Continue to Stand on the Principle of Holiness and Godliness That Our Lives That the Fight What Hot Topic, and Go through the Word of God. We Don't Have To Adjust They Should Adjust the Preached Word of God and the More We Preach the Word of God, the More We Stand True on God, the Alternate and We Are Light with a Bottle like the Bible to Let Our Light Shine among You, and They Make Our Good Works and Glorify God to Be Examples to Be White on a Hill so That They Can Be a Beacon of Hope for Someone Who Lost Their Way.

You Know Nothing for Living the Lifestyle Way Blocked Their Way, We Want to Be a Beacon of Hope for Those Who Lost Their Way, and Been Recognized by What You Plan to Pilot Your Crimper Fight with Lifestyle United Been Living with the Server. God and That There Is No Figure What God Can Do. I Want a Dump of the Plan. When You Get That You like That… We Believe We Believe That We Serve a God to Change Anybody Nature and Not Homosexuality Not to Q Plus Find Something That We Know What God Made You All the Demand We Serve a God Who Can Save Anybody from NEC and I Love That Something Is Want to Come to You with the Last Word. What about Your Experience with the LGBT Q Plus and and How Have You Had to Make Adjustments of the Last Two Years with These Different Things That Are Going on the College Campuses Today Probably Summed It up and Wanted to Really Bear Not That Victor Will Be My Lighter Material for Cotton and Letting Others Thing of the Guardian for the Bookmark Anything Else to It on the Lying about Man Will Be Enjoyable, 37, It Was Right on Point with What We Need to Do a Con Man My Thoughts with All the World.
