From major victories of the Supreme Court to a comment of Kanye West to the basics of the gospel will come your way today stage for the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire valves like always 866-34-TRUTH that's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown my friends for joining with us on the life I point we are here for such a time as this is I pray and get ready for the shows my insides and you shaking some days because of the intensity of the spiritual conflict around this because of the urgency of the hour because of the absolute certainty I have, that God has called us to the front lines for such a time as this. And if you're listening and joining in. We are in this together.

Michael Brown thanks for joining us here is on the call 866-34-TRUTH 866-348-7884 really cover a lot of ground. Today, women continue to talk through controversial issues, listen to each other learn from each other and the bottom of the hour. I'm going to go to the Scriptures to talk about the foundation of all foundations. The first word of the gospel and and a keyword.

The key concept we must recover in the church and live by in a foundational way. Good number to call with questions you have. If you differ with me on any .8663487884 before we get to the major Supreme Court cases want to go back to what I talked about on the air yesterday I mentioned at the beginning of the broadcast yesterday at tweets that I put out which one, along with a statement and mean that we had on Facebook as well that affirmed that black lives matter in every possible way you could affirm that while at the same time saying that the BLM organization is dangerous anti-Christian and should be avoided asking. Have I made myself clear so affirming every way I knew how in caps loudly, boldly, plainly, that black lives do matter but warning once again against the organization with its Marxist ideology with radical feminism with a square affirmation with its denigrating of the male role in the home and all of that which we documented from the statements on the BLM website, not someone said someone hurt Nono and that actual quotes actual quotes, soundbites, video, audio quotes from founders of BLM movement and current leaders of the movement which interesting is that the video that we posted about that where one further I talked about the spirit of Jezebel, the, the demonic forces at work to destroy America that are Jezebel like in the same demonic powers that operated through Queen Jezebel 3000 years ago.

Operating again now or through the woman that Jesus referred to as Jezebel in the New Testament 2000 years ago. So we got into that we put that out in video form.

When I speak of the Jezebel experience behind the seduction of porn behind radical feminism behind the shouting abortion movement behind the attack. The emasculating of man. The attack on men be hot these others are tax on women in different ways as well. A behind the rise and witchcraft of the war on gender. The attempt to silence the church. The prophetic force the church all these things are Jezebel like, and when you look at the roots of the BLM movement you recognize that's disability as well. Hence, this massive conflict that we are seeing in front of us will will that tweak as far as a new Tweet that has been retweeted or liked more than any other Tweet I've ever posted except the one that's that's actually on our page that that you see. First of that, that has more shares in retweets and likes, but otherwise we we've never gotten a response like that an overwhelming response as well or Facebook page between the video on Facebook and on YouTube over 20,000 views so far, which is a quick start for for one of our videos on the nature like this and it's because we struck a chord because what we're saying what you're feeling by God's grace were articulating things. That's a role look there are people God speaks to them in dreams and visions and literally mean that they have a dream at night and it's prophetic and supernatural. Some of my friends.

It happens to and it's accurate and scarily accurate to the glory of God and in others the Lord speaks to different ways and shows them things will see a vision and and it's real and dreams, visions can't speak like that, according the book of acts.

The second chapter that's for the last days. That's for the time period in which we live. So God speaks to certain people like that he doesn't speak to me in the same ways dreams, visions, but he gives me insight as is a hope we can all get give me insight into what's happening that the times and seasons what's happening so II can be a voice and often will will have people write us and say you're writing your speaking what I'm feeling you articulating what I'm seeing.

That's why we say we are your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Let's reveal what's happening in the spiritual realm, so we know how to act here in this world in which we live and if you know the history of the abolition of slavery.

The main driver in England was William Wilberforce and his burden being a convert through Wesley's ministry was to do among the rich. What Wesley had done among the poor, so he was a parliamentarian if he were to to reform society in different ways and his great bird along with the reformation of morals was the abolition of slavery and the slave trade and one of the things that was essential was to human eyes. The black slave eloquent whites have been enslaved by Blacks. Blacks have been enslaved by Blacks, whites have been enslaved by whites, Asians by Asia's everybody's a slave each other through history it's it's it's actually disturbing, pointing to the sinful nature of human beings but that's that's history. That's reality. But the slave can be dehumanized especially if the slave is a different color, a different ethnicity speaks a different language. You can dehumanize that person.

If you human eyes the mahout. How can you enslave a fellow human. It's one thing if someone says hey, I've got no money I can. I live on your farm and work your work 12 hours a day, and so on. That's one thing it's another thing when you capture someone kidnapped them, take them as your own property and possession so Wilberforce and his people came up with an image would be a meme today. There was an image that they printed in every different form. It was slave and chain saying am I not a man and and a brother and another man and your brother so it struck me the other day that that we needed a meme in the concepts been there many of habit that struck me that we needed a meme that pointed things to where were at today so our graphics team did an amazing job and I posted this on Facebook and asked her to brown page on twitter share this widely would you am I not a man and a brother. There's a black man in chains 1780. There some pink so you know the sex am I not a baby and a sister baby in the womb.

2020 we had dehumanize the slave and the black man in 1780 in white Europe and then over to America that we have to humanize the baby in the womb, so sure that widely anything if you believe in the message were getting out.

I know you appreciate what we're doing on the front lines, but only remind your friends that because of covered 19 all of my traveling engagements since mid-March have been canceled our trip to Israel.

Nancy and I were talking before radio today before the for the studio about Jesus revolution than the scene decades back and she said you know the church that lead the way. Now, but if not now, everything. It's of the culture collapses. I mean what's coming. It is stuff we don't want to think about. If the church does not rise up and stand strong in the midst of the conference of friends together make a difference on the complainant Jesus Jesus is government society.media/world. Jesus here on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown, the voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution there again is Dr. Michael Brown KL on YouTube hey amen we fight with joy and truth.

We laugh at the pagan war because Jesus really want it.

We pray for those who don't know the Lord. But in terms of the resistance in terms of the attempt to overthrow gospel truths.

We pity those that do it some to he who sits in the heavens last thanks for standing with us, you got a question, comment for me 866-348-7884. In what I tweeted out something yesterday day before about comments of Dr. Martin Luther King that darkness can't drive out darkness can't drive out hate: only light can drive out darkness, and the only love can drive out hate racism can't drive out racism, replacing hate for one group with hate for another group doesn't solve the problem, pushing one group down in order to advance another group doesn't solve the problem. We we all know that we all understand that it's hard it's hard when you confront it with hatred.

It's hard when you discriminated against. It's it's hard when people mistreat you to to not want to mistreat them. It's human nature to do that and that's what you have power struggles if if if you come to power by crushing all of their power will when the power you crushed it strong enough, it's going to turn on crush you and then the cycle continues. So as much as it's difficult if you've been discriminated against. If you been a victim of racism.

If you been genuinely hurt by an unjust system and if it's happened over and over. It's very easy it in the natural to develop hatred to develop an opposite racist response to one harm to other people understand this with the flesh would normally do. But in the Lord. We have to have a better a better way and that way is, is not to to stand back and do nothing. That way is not to capitulate to the cancel culture that that way is not to be intimidated and and spineless, but that way is to stand with courage, strengths, integrity, truth, love, honor, and in this way, even while you're being beaten down, you win and you overcome just want to share this is not my mind to do that I will get to Supreme Court cases. II have read about persecuted Christians where the persecutors, the torturers ended up coming to faith because of the conduct of the persecuted Christians of these were Christians that had no alternative.

They were they were imprisoned. They had no way to to resistor standard know they could do was was keep their integrity before the Lord, but the way that they would act, and even praying for their persecutors was such that that the people looking at it realized even though we are persecuting you. You're the victor, even though we're the ones with the power you really have the power as you know the Lord because the more we beat you, the more it advances your cause. There was one Romanian pastor Joseph song and he was persecuted in his country's tapes were confiscated. He was brought before the secret police, whoever, and he said to them, you know, if you kill me if you tell me my sermons which are on cassette tape all over the nation. He said they will now be and paraphrasing sprinkled with blood and everyone will want to know the message of the spec points in kill me, but you kill me, it advances the gospel water mentality water mentality. Jesus said if you save your life, you lose usually for my sake and the gospel you find. If we don't respond, flesh fighting, flesh, anger, fighting, anger, hatred, fighting hatred, but rather stand righteously and firmly we change the world around us. We can write Supreme Court decisions and present Obama's affordable care act popularly known as Obama care. There were provisions for contraceptive coverage so not for abortion, per se, all although there is the argument that one of the contraceptive drugs would produce abortion but the larger issue is this. Catholics religious Catholics would oppose birth control. Some evangelicals and other committee Christians would oppose birth control but but Catholics in a more strong doctoral level right so if you are required by law. Under the affordable care act or Obama care is popularly known if you were required by law to provide contraceptive coverage for an employee so woman says yeah I don't want to get pregnant so like to be on the pill or whatever the contraceptive method wasn't under under Obama care you were obligated as an employer to to pay that will what is your Catholic and you're morally convicted against birth control is against church teaching or someone of another faith or another Christian expression. We are against birth control what you would be required to provide so obviously that is a major overreach of the government is much as Obama care may have intended well to help people that were insured things like that. There are many problems with it so that that the goal is not to discard it, but to something better. Replace it with something better right so that as many Americans can get healthcare is as need and were able to provide okay so so the Supreme Court had two related cases that had to do with religious rights. The first one was with regard to Obama care can contraceptive coverage so this is NBC news, the NBC news and one for Trump. Supreme Court allows plan for religious limits Obama care, contraceptive coverage, so the Trump administration was fighting for this. Okay, the ruling greatly expands the kinds of employers that can cite religious or moral objections in declining to include birth control in their healthcare plans are Pete Williams and BC okay of the US Supreme Court on Wednesday so today clear the way for the Trump administration to give the nations employers more leeway in refusing to provide free birth control for their workers. Under the affordable care act ruling is a victory, the administration's plan to greatly expand the cause of employers who can cite religious or moral objections in declining to include contraceptives in their healthcare plans up here is, here's the bigger news, it was not just was not simply a matter of the Supreme Court ruling 54 or even 63 it was 72. So this is how much the religious liberty issue is coming up, and as much as the Supreme Court is disappointed us with some decisions recently, especially the 541-7631 with people who would've expected to be on the right side be on the wrong side. In our view, it's it's made some excellent decisions always this is can get a mix but here's what it comes down to the one that we vote first president is going to point more justices. The frame Supreme Court so as to guarantee the next four years.

One or two positions will be filled. Maybe Morton is even talk of some that are not quite as old retiring, and others just getting on in age may not be able to continue to serve right so you might have one, maybe two maybe three massive implications, but then maybe 200 more judges appointed to the federal courts, with implications all over America is 99% of the cases will never make it to the Supreme Court and get decided lower courts and a lot of these affect your liberties.

So for me I understand that that association with Donald Trump in many ways can do him harm that to the extent we are associated with him are apologist for the president or you know we got his back and he can do no wrong. It can make us look bad as followers of Jesus, but if we say no I don't like what he says this. I don't like when he does that. I do realize his damages done, but I want to look at larger issues and one look at international issues and always fought back against the tyranny of China and the same deal we had with Iran and the risk of enabling the of nuclear warheads and and and on and on and on and standing for religious Livingston flux.

I bounce it out assume Jesus has my heart my life my soul when it comes to vote simple choice read between the Trump or Hillary Clinton or Trump and Joe Biden must have misgivings about much of Trump's actions, words, his character in terms of keeping his promises and standing for the things that are important.

These is missed out on that.

So gets my vote. This another example is not.

This is another example of why it's important have the right people in the courts because decisions like this affect every day life. Let's let's break it down in the school, in schools, how about this liberty Council reports.

Another major decision in another seven to ruling Supreme Court ruled 72 that faith-based schools have a first amendment free exercise to make employment decisions regarding religious teachers without government to fear interference. The principal set forth the consolidated cases of our Lady of Guadalupe school versus Mars etc. okay so what happened in the schools and again Catholic schools to teachers of Catholic schools were required by their annual agreement and faculty handbook to adhere to and teach the doctrine sacraments of the Catholic Church. Both cases at their annual review. Deterred teachers were not offered contract renewals. They file discrimination claims in federal district court against their former employers, so they say religious school you can't require us to teach certain things you can't require us to be Catholic in doctrine and dogma and fire us in my she can Catholic school can do that religious Jewish school can do that muzzle school could do that process will can do that handle school what whatever the school if you have a religious school and I'm in business. Common sense. If you have a religious school and and you no longer hold to the tenets of that religion and will not teach them. Of course, the school has the right to terminate you Supreme Court said yes and again 72 decision courts. Courts got it right. Good work, come back to the first word of the gospel.

What I have done it… How about her plan and by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown of your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown to then I'm going to the phones. That's a true truth, 8664 truth number to call a Chris on Facebook. Thanks for your gift and Don you to thank you for standing with us all right.

Look with all the chaos in America today where ever you stand politically ideologically.

It's a chaotic time with the upheaval that were experiencing with the virus with economic challenges now with massive divisions in our country and in a state of division, the likes of which we haven't seen since before the Civil War really made a very, very difficult, challenging time in America, the world's I can solve some problems that can happen it it's it's like pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps. It's not gonna happen. We need help.

We need God and the ones that should be leading the way of the people of God. The followers of Jesus. Those who know the Lord. Those who have the word of God.

Those were indwelt and powered by the Holy Spirit. Those who should be functioning assault in life.

Soul, I look at the problems in America largely coming back to us. God's people. We've fallen short, will we have failed to be light is absent for many years. I'm not so much concerned with the presence of darkness, but with the absence of light. So here we are 2020 critical year in American history and I want to encourage us to get back to get the basics of the gospel and the first word of the gospel for the church for the world. It is repent that popular word that a popular concept but foundational repentance is an about-face. Repentance is a recognition of wrong recognition of sin and turning away from that sin and returning to God. That's what repentance is something like this. I'm walking away of sin, disobedience, carnality, deception, the message says repent. By God's grace I turn around, turn away from sin and turn to the Lord God have mercy on the kinds me wash me if I'm a believer I'm I'm renewing my commitment to the Lord I'm deepening our relationship with the Lord.

I'm severing that the power of sin in the world by turning to the Lord. If I don't know the Lord, I'm coming to him for salvation.

Have mercy on me saving for my sins.

Give me a brand-new life. So we say repentance is the first word of the gospel.

Repentance is the first word of the gospel was the revival scholar James had been or that I first heard say those words and I begin to think this to my mind started going to the Gospels and access what yachts it's so here so just a quick little journey. You can look up the exact versus phone could be every exact, first in Matthew three Johnny Mercer begins preaching. What's his message.

Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near.

Those were his exact words repent for the kingdom of heaven is near. It's a hand and he has a baptism of repentance and because of the religious hypocrites to bring forth fruit worthy of repentance right when he's in prison. Matthew 417 tells us that Jesus began preaching and Moses message identical words repent for the kingdom of heaven is that God's ready to move because really breakthrough. Therefore repent if if you knew someone was, stay at your house. Your house is best got everybody clean around, get out the back and take out the garbage, clean the house got guests coming the same way here, God is ready to come God is ready to move. God is ready to bless. Therefore, prepare the way I prepare the way repentance turning from sin. Turning to God, then if you continue with this Jesus says this is his ministry. In Luke 58 income for the righteous, but for sinners to bring them to repentance.

Howie characterizes Ms. his ministry. In Luke 15 the threefold parable of the lost sheep, the lost coin, the lost son. What's the message there repent. Right there is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents and it's it's depicted in the prodigal son comes to his senses and realizes the sin and asked his father for mercy and his father runs to embrace when Jesus sends out the 12 and Mark the six chapter what is it say they preached that people should repent. They anointed many sick people all healed. They drove out demons that was there threefold ministry preach repentance driving out demons, healing the sick. To this day.

One of the effective ministry that will work, preach repentance, drive out demons heal the sick, then of the great commission. According to Luke 24 when when he is commission his disciples to bring this message to the world.

It's repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached, beginning in Jerusalem. That's a great commission you preach a message without repentance, without calling people turn from sin without offering forgiveness to the cross. That's not the gospel you do so you can have a better life to Jesus and Jesus in your life. Most of that's not the gospel. There may be some particles of truth and that that's of the gospel Gospels close to turn from sin and turn to God and find mercy through the cross and now lead a new life in obedience to him. So you see this pattern down the preaching book of acts beginning and ask the second chapter what went Peter preaches that that the house of Israel by denying Jesus Camille would be crucified. That has committed a great sin in God's sight. God raised him up to be Lord.

The people crowd. What we do. Peter's response in acts 238 repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus repent.

That's his result. Repent and ask three preach again X3 19 repent and turn to God that your sins may be blotted in acts 531. He says that the that God has raised up Jesus to give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel and asked 11 chapter think it's worth 18 after Peter share the gospel of Gentiles.

He reports back that the leader say all praise God is given the Gentiles repentance to life that some new birth is described. Repentance.repentance is not just change your mind, change your mind and heart direction.

If I change my mind but don't change my direction sought repentance. If I acknowledge I'm wrong. I'm completely wrong but keep living wrong.

That's not repentance. Repentance is young, wrong, and then a turnaround with God's help and grace will oppose preaching yack 616 is the jailers shaking cry out for mercy. What must I do to be saved, believe in the Lord Jesus the law I want mercy of we need help because real, but was it all that Paul said the never say repent is believe only and there's no repentance, faith in repents of two sergeants and karma from what is he saying.

Acts 1730 Paul Grace preaching Paul. Acts 1730 God commands all men everywhere to repent. What you say in acts 2120 that that this was his excuse me, 20, 21 that this was his message that he preached that people should turn to God in faith.

Susan returned to God in repentance put their faith in the Lord Jesus repentance and God faith the Lord Jesus. What is Xanax 2620.

He said I preach speaking to Agrippa, I preached that people should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by the deeds that was his message and that message continues in the church and what is second Peter say because it will any should perish but that all should come to repentance. What is Jesus. Satan in Revelation 319 Jesus says there that as many as I love I rebuke and discipline.

Therefore be zealous and repent. Speaking to God's people to repents begins with us. The church then goes to the world.

This is this is essential we recover the sum preach this was America change regarding about you preach repentance it's unpopular the famous quote of Joseph Parker that was popularized. Parker contemnor Charles Spurgeon popularizing Keith Green's honor pledge my head to heaven purchase of the man's little sermon is repent sets himself against this agent for the time being, will be mercilessly battered by the ages moral Tony assaults but one, and for such a man off with his head bent on preach repentance that you place your head to heaven. So yeah, this is not the popular message will patch you on the back with a self exalting message of the contemporary American church. This is the biblical message and it's not a message of of of penance.

I have to fast every day until noon to prove that I'm worthy after wit myself. I have to go to church 11 times a week no-no. It is God have mercy on this and every time the words repentance and faith or repent and believe occur in the same verse in the New Testament every time it's repent first and believe Mark 115. Time is at hand repent and believe the gospel. X 2021.

I mentioned repents towards God, faith in the Lord Jesus. Hebrews 61. Same thing same thing was say there repentance from dead works, faith in God. These foundations two sides of the same coin. This repents is not work. Repentance is God have mercy on forgive me but I turned to help change me, that's repentance. And we are empowered by the blood of Jesus to live his friends got recover the basic message Mr. preach it to ourselves sir. Preaching from our pulpits in our churches this the way to prepare for the coming of the Lord to prepare for revival was take the message through setting world. It's not just Jesus knows you're hurting anymore is to help there is truth to that, but it's more. He also knows were rebelling. He also knows were sales and those were guilty. Also's work were dirty because of our actions because of our thoughts as our desires and we need mercy, we need cleansing of circuit message summary popular put out the other day at the same out in her Jesus is his honor to know every detail about your life is not honored. He made us, created us, is not honored to know every detail Jesus is honored to know about the ugly sinful thoughts you thought last night, Jesus is honored to know about the sinful action is not honored to his grieving over those things and is angered over the decisions that we willfully commit, but his love is so great that rather than discard as he died for us – the gospel you will see people radically say the deeper the conviction the more radical conversion of witness from eyes for years.

When people get convicted and recognize their guilt before God and turn to him for mercy, not just another child is Jesus thing for the law doesn't really work for me doesn't really like make me feel better myself.

I'll try some of us know this is not just one alternative elementary menu may stumble into the gospel. That way, and then find the truth, friends. This is life and death. This is heaven and hell.

This this is mercy or judgment and we understand it rightly and preach it rightly, then the love of God.

10,000 times larger living God love me regardless of the wicked.

God love me look visibly terrible food yes yes exactly and he said his love on you knowing you do all that knowing I do what I did and not just before same even as believers with discipline, thought he knew all that we set his level.

That's the power of the cross friendless preach repentance and legacy revival. Once reformation one small cultural revolution. Let's recover the message of repentance right going to the phones we come back 866-34-TRUTH and yes I will get to the Kanye West, stay right with us, 866-34-TRUTH go to the phone now it's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 86643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown. I completely agree with this is why I bring it up? Or more of our concern will I think Christian me to get back to the store to repent and gospel, but that is the reason why I feel that Christians in America. This whole patriotism, ideology, cool battled upper heaven with the black lives matter movement with socialism. Marxism and all are still distracting Christian from the real mission veggies for there's nowhere in the Bible that tells us to be patriots. Jesus actually repute articles for being patriot and trying to fight for Israel and trying to overthrow Rome at the time. So what I'm concerned about is that Christians are not practicing what you're saying. The church of not doing what you're saying because I go to church up and going to church for the last five years. There's no repentance message, or the gospel preached the majority of the churches out here and there is none of them there's more concern over being patriot for America for Donald Trump for the flock and there is for the gospel and ask user because you and Dr. James like I feel probably the most brilliant men in Christianity but yet on your twitter on your social you guys rant about back lives matter and socialism as if it the main focus that was supposed to be focusing on.

This is alert and responsive yet sure to let them this month yet.

So first we have to separate truth from exaggeration. Okay so I mean okay alright so I have written 40 books now okay right right, and NR Miller number where we were and I preached around the world have been overseas one 200 times the ministry school we sent out missionaries all around the world of spent countless years of my life pouring out for souls for the lost world missions for the salvation of Jewish people. Okay.

And I've written a couple books that intersect with with political issues run Donald Trump precisely so that we keep our focus which deserves to be, so the characterization as if there is a this is the year of the marriage thing that's been spoken of that tickets exaggerated paints a wrong picture of also done sorry okay right unrest on service. Alonzo, twitter feed, which confirm exactly what I knew that in the vast majority of churches were people go, that political issues are addressed less than 10% of the time and having traveled up and preaching some 73 right so time 47 years of that's that's what I've experienced around America. But here's here's why we talk about certain things because a lot of this affects lives, and God cares about that Jesus still calls us to hunger and thirst for righteousness, and to seek righteousness in the kingdom of God is about righteousness during he's the Holy Spirit. So I agree, let me first say I totally agree that we get way caught up with patriotic or political issues all around out on all sides but totally recall and and in my new book evangelicals at the crossroads is one of the points that I make. We must put the cross before the flag.

In fact, that's the first of my 10 point strategy as to how we can pass the Trump test is to put the cross before the flag and another is to put spiritual activity before political activity. But do you think it's important that you can raise your kids in an environment you can freely teach them the gospel without having the government take them away. You think it's it's good to to be in a situation where we can talk like this on the radio without you, waiting for the secret police to knock at your door and carry you away to prison will never see you again or do you think it's good that we can that we can fight that it's a New Testament concept to fight for justice and to care for the poor and needy wealth, then you gotta get involved in the political scene because I rounded up what you're saying but it kind of pushing a narrative already.

We think already put in people mind that this is going to happen this happening goal is something in front of her eyes every day Chris eliminates real-time happiness could ever happen to you happen to Dr. James like his son, H all but something to be over and over over the battles are fought Alonzo Elder are nicely here's here's the problem here is the problem Alonzo I can help you really easily. I can help you really easily.

I have answers to your questions. If you let me speak select either your passionate and they got a lot to say you very complementary and honoring right and let's made from what we agree on back to the basics with preaching the gospel preacher fence.

Of course it's happened to me over and over without a fight battles with Facebook and YouTube get a message out and friends of my good friends of mine colleagues have lost their jobs because of their views on abortion or their views on gay activists. They've had their Facebook pages for posting Bible verses about homosexuality their Facebook page is completely shut down. Fact fact that an end the slaughter of the unborn concerns me in right now is much as we we we stand in front of abortion clinics and share the gospel and work of pregnancy crisis centers and my colleagues are doing this in grads and we been involved for years on the practical level, get the right people in courts and governments gonna make a difference listen sums me all the time. These are battles we fight constantly and friends among friends about our attorneys and they are finest every single day, every single day.

So many cases that they need more attorneys fighting for the liberties to do or do it.

I had a major media guy one of the biggest in the country. Tell me not long ago Mike keep doing what you're doing as long as you can.

I'm telling you things shift further the way the mob wants to take it we will be able to do were doing just saying thank you, thank you for weighing in. I appreciate right I'm going to another: the moment but I just want to draw attention to this comment from Kanye West. He said it's racism and white supremacy to say all black people need to be Democrat Kanye West was told people to for Trump's musical career would be destroyed but obviously hasn't happened always, Nancy wants to run for president peeps. If you divide the Democrat forced him who gives you the right to the white man to tell Blacks how they should vote. If they don't all Democrats and not be in oil. Blacks, he rightly said that that to me is white supremacist thinking that the white man can tell the black person how this post about black person has listen to the white person to be truly black folk like that. What kind of nonsense is that so good for Kanye West agree all right Steve were short on time.

Please share your heart Michael Brown thank you for ministry.

Thank you for your open witness and testimony about your life, especially early on coming to you or somebody was seven years clean and sober. That has power arteries that you and I know every time you tell your story there somebody out there, it hears it and tell you there is power net. Keep that up in your you're telling us that you have a need for money.

Now Mama white on yourself and not in a good place today and I will opt I fully plan on going hundred and and making giving giving some money to you out out agree with what your previous caller said I I'm scared.

I'm scared. I'm gonna tell you… No you boldly proclaim your support for the president.

I will tell you I think it's gonna do more damage to Christianity than anything else ever in the history of this country. I think you can do more damage to Christianity than anybody else has in this country and it should because that's not who years and was swimming style you want to say this.

First, thanks for your generosity and insist can help us continue to do redoing and reaching a room reaching my wife agrees with you and Nancy and and she has by complete blessing to share her views on Facebook I posted an article yesterday is Donald Trump. The spiritual danger by laid out these very concerns. 30 evangelicals writing a book warning about this very danger and the harm is continue to the gospel and and I wrote saying why I respectfully differed, but I took the concern seriously that there could be real problems so III support, but with very mixed feelings, and with a lot of reluctance okay to be clarinet, but Nancy said they are balmy different with your Facebook as a go for night so we had this conversation. The last time I had this conversation Steve with my wife was about four hours ago can love you a lot and I love you I love you ministry and I respect you and II say that not out of the political difference, but out of a log of my faith. That got me to where I am today. I stand on the shoulders of Christ Jesus to learn yet and so so Steve, here's here's what it comes down to.

I absolutely respect your perspective and I understand and if we don't handle ourselves rightly as evangelicals if we can't distance ourselves from the president and believe he does wrong, we don't like his character when he feels is been divisive. When I previous been divisive her degree which happens frequently. Then we argued her witness and we have already because some of our leaders have sold position themselves with the president matter what he says does the defendant in any cost and it does make the church look bad and it has brought reproach and that's why I wrote evangelicals at the crossroads. In fact, of that's that's the exact reason I wrote it to have this conversation in a book and to say okay here all the arguments from Christians from evangelicals against Trump. I sent it to never Trump are some of the poor and said that I did. I represent your position accurately that I get the warnings out accurately and and then I answer was understanding that why believe we can vote for Trump within a 10 point strategy rooms and how you vote. Regards of how you vote. What we must do is evangelicals to put the cross before the flag to put spiritual activity before political activity to proclaim the Donald Trump is present in our Savior, to let that be known to Steve trust. I understand your concern and continue this conversation the lines down so I can get more will continue the conversation
