1
00:00:04,780 --> 00:00:10,220
Greetings. This is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church

2
00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:15,480
with a moment of truth where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:26,019
faith. Today, after having determined the evil in our land last week in the aftermath of Charlie

4
00:00:26,019 --> 00:00:33,700
Kirk's assassination, which has been on the mind of Americans across the country these last few

5
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:43,539
weeks, well then, how are we to respond to real evil as biblical Christians? There is real evil afoot

6
00:00:43,539 --> 00:00:51,200
in our land, and we're seeing a greater and greater polarization in our country between those who stand

7
00:00:51,200 --> 00:01:00,119
for biblical righteousness and biblical good, and those who are in the grasp of, in the clasp,

8
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:09,420
if you will, of evil and the evil one. And now, it is impossible to overstate the height, length,

9
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:16,879
depth, breadth of evil in our land around us today, and I think Charlie's assassination has just

10
00:01:16,879 --> 00:01:23,579
illustrated that for us. There are periods in redemptive history when evil is ubiquitous,

11
00:01:23,579 --> 00:01:29,719
as in the days of Noah, where the Bible says, the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in

12
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:35,280
the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord

13
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:42,079
regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to the heart. We are swiftly moving to

14
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:49,159
such a state of affairs in our world. Well, how do we know this? Is this not just sensationalism,

15
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:55,500
Pastor? How can we be sure that we're not just being caught up in emotional hysteria, having lost

16
00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:04,219
a beloved advocate of our cause from our team when we lost Charlie? Well, we know that our judgments

17
00:02:04,219 --> 00:02:10,879
are true because we know evil when we see it. Remember from last week, dear listener, the big

18
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:19,139
three characteristics of evil. First, evil is the sworn enemy of God and the good. It implacably opposes

19
00:02:19,139 --> 00:02:27,740
the good at every turn, and that opposition has a name. The Hebrew word for adversary, for adversary is

20
00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:36,979
Satan. Oh, secondly, we know as well that evil is a bloodthirsty murderer. It loves the shedding of

21
00:02:36,979 --> 00:02:42,740
blood. We saw this last week. It kills God's creatures wherever and whenever possible, especially

22
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:51,159
the human creature. And then thirdly, evil is a liar. Oh, it seeks to pretend and to deceive and to mislead

23
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:58,840
mankind. Well, where all of these exist in human behavior, there you find evil. And we see plenty

24
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:05,460
of it around us, and yea, even in the death of Charlie Kirk. But it is important to see evil in its larger

25
00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:13,300
context, too. And the question now becomes, what are we to do with the evil people that we find among us?

26
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:19,620
Well, there are three things that we must do, three action points that every Christian must do,

27
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:25,099
and we must get off of our derrières and go about accomplishing them. And number one is,

28
00:03:25,659 --> 00:03:32,280
the church must lead the spiritual war against evil. The church must be in the front lines of the

29
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,159
spiritual war against evil. Now, as we have insisted on nauseam from the very beginning,

30
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:44,780
our warfare is first and foremost a spiritual battle, dear listener. The Apostle Paul tells us

31
00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:50,819
in Ephesians chapter 6, he says, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,

32
00:03:51,379 --> 00:03:58,479
against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual

33
00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:06,680
forces of evil in the heavenly places, unquote. Ah, we can no more ignore the spiritual component of

34
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:13,919
this warfare, dear listener, than a land army can ignore modern air power. When the Allies swept the

35
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:20,500
Luftwaffe from the skies before the Normandy invasion in World War II, we controlled the airspace over the

36
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:28,040
beaches, and we were successful. When Saddam Hussein's army could do nothing to counter the United States

37
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:36,399
air dominance in the Gulf War over Kuwait. Well, Hussein's tanks and army were sitting ducks, and they got

38
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:44,060
annihilated. The same can be said for us if we do not defeat the spiritual forces arrayed against us in

39
00:04:44,060 --> 00:04:52,120
the heavens. We will be annihilated. We human beings are the only creatures in all of creation that straddle

40
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:58,959
two worlds, the physical and the spiritual. We live in both realms simultaneously, and if we continue to

41
00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:06,100
see any one of us, any human being, as only a physical creature, we are ignoring the whole other half of

42
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:12,600
him. And that is dangerous with our enemies and tragic for our friends and loved ones. We must recognize

43
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:20,019
the demonic forces at work in the enemy, and we must also cherish and nourish the Spirit of Christ

44
00:05:20,019 --> 00:05:27,199
Christ in our brothers and sisters in the church. Right now, there are spiritual forces at work in the hearts and

45
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:35,639
lives of men and women everywhere, many of them of the evil variety. Do you recognize the signs in a person's

46
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:44,300
life? You need to be spiritually sensitive to these things. We increasingly inhabit a polarized world where the

47
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:50,160
contrast between good and evil becomes clearer and clearer, and this trend will only increase. The

48
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:59,259
advantage is that it will become easier to recognize those under the evil sway of evil and those in the

49
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:07,220
power of Christ and the Holy Spirit. But what that requires is a mobilized church that knows what it is

50
00:06:07,220 --> 00:06:13,899
up against, and so several preconditions need to be met before we are able to war effectively

51
00:06:13,899 --> 00:06:19,959
against our adversary, the devil, who prowls around like a lion seeking whom he may devour.

52
00:06:20,860 --> 00:06:27,319
First of all, one of those preconditions is there must be a nationwide revival and reformation of the

53
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:34,779
church. This is absolutely fundamental. The hearts of everyone must be brought to Jesus Christ as Savior,

54
00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:40,800
as step one. There is no victory to be had on the spiritual battlefield until there is spiritual life in

55
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:48,019
the warrior. In order to do battle in the Spirit, he must be alive in the Spirit. But mere spiritual

56
00:06:48,019 --> 00:06:54,879
life is not enough. There must be a reformation of the church and its life in the community. We must

57
00:06:54,879 --> 00:07:03,680
transform our living and our world, no more trifling with personal sin in our lives. We must rather aspire to

58
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:10,420
live holy lives in accordance with our calling. And we must become active, participating members in our

59
00:07:10,420 --> 00:07:18,980
local churches. There will be no triumph over evil, doing it alone, but only as we stand arm in arm, as we

60
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:27,160
march arm in arm, relying upon one another. The church must understand this maxim, as goes the church, so goes

61
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:34,579
the nation. Our founding fathers said this, as goes the church, so goes the nation. America will only rise

62
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:42,040
to the level of the church. That is why we must reform her first. And secondly, the second precondition

63
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:49,379
for our spiritual warfare is, since our warfare is primarily spiritual, we must deploy our spiritual

64
00:07:49,379 --> 00:07:58,959
gifts. You must be active. First and foremost, here in this regard is prayer. Ah, we often talk about and commend

65
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:06,639
the prayer warrior, and rightly so. The archangel Michael told Daniel that he had come to him, battling with the

66
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:13,240
angelic prince of Persia to get to him, because Daniel's prayers had been heard. Over and over again, the Bible

67
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:20,459
reveals victory over dark spiritual forces is had because of the prayers of the saints. Christian,

68
00:08:20,939 --> 00:08:26,980
do not underestimate the power of this spiritual weapon. We must also avail ourselves of other

69
00:08:26,980 --> 00:08:33,440
spiritual gifts. Some saints have the gift of discernment whereby the presence identities and names

70
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:41,039
of spiritual entities can be ascertained. And the ancient practice of exorcism will increasingly be needed

71
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:47,980
as demonic influence and possession becomes more evidently rampant. And importantly, too, pastors

72
00:08:47,980 --> 00:08:55,059
must be ready to deal frankly and unapologetically with this area and preach and teach on it. The coming

73
00:08:55,059 --> 00:09:02,299
battle with evil requires all hands on deck, and the pastor, as shepherd of the flock, has the duty to

74
00:09:02,299 --> 00:09:08,600
protect it from evil wolves who would prey upon it. The third precondition that must be had in our

75
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:14,659
spiritual warfare is that the church must be ready to enter the larger world with power.

76
00:09:14,659 --> 00:09:21,299
Oh, dear listener, the church has for too long been in the cultural wilderness in America.

77
00:09:22,059 --> 00:09:28,820
Charlie Kirk understood this, and he was helping to drag us out by the hair sometimes, figuratively

78
00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:37,240
speaking, to lead us out of that wilderness. Ever since modernity shamed Christianity back in the 20th

79
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:43,940
century with the triumph of evolution and its theories and the embarrassment of the Scopes monkey

80
00:09:43,940 --> 00:09:51,100
trial, for example, I have a whole lecture on that, period. Well, since then, the church has been in

81
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:57,940
retreat when it comes to culture, politics, and society. As one of my favorite preachers put it, he was

82
00:09:57,940 --> 00:10:04,240
wrong on this, but J. Vernon McGee would say time and again, we should not soil the garments of the

83
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:10,720
gospel with politics and culture. That was one of his favorite sayings. But he was wrong. That kind of

84
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:17,460
thinking must end. Evil would like nothing better than for the church to play in its own little church

85
00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:24,980
sandbox and leave the rest of the world to the devil. No, we must take Jesus at his word when he promised

86
00:10:24,980 --> 00:10:32,299
that when the church presses her attack, the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, he said. Oh,

87
00:10:32,980 --> 00:10:40,059
evil will not be defeated in America without a clear-eyed, militant, spiritually prepared church.

88
00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:46,820
This is the sine qua non, without which victory will not be had. We must grow up here, be ready to do

89
00:10:46,820 --> 00:10:54,080
battle in the real world again as the church has in history. Do you want America to descend into a

90
00:10:54,080 --> 00:11:01,679
demonic cesspool like Haiti or India or Venezuela? Well, then do not minimize or diminish the importance

91
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:09,460
of the church, dear listener. It is, after all, Christ's body, that living spiritual organism through which

92
00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:17,740
Christ will triumph over the forces of evil. Well, secondly, the second thing we must be about and be active

93
00:11:17,740 --> 00:11:33,320
doing is, culturally, we must reclaim lost territory, and we must call evil for what it is in the culture.

94
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:40,600
Evil is evil. We must win the cultural war that will most certainly ensue when the forces of evil

95
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:48,000
begin to meet resistance, serious resistance from us in the arts, sciences, and institutions of our

96
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:58,019
culture. Charlie Kirk understood this, didn't he? And he was aggressively taking back that lost

97
00:11:58,019 --> 00:12:04,879
territory on university campuses, for example. In fact, it was on the campus of Utah Valley University

98
00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:14,320
that the evil forces of the satanic system got him shot. It's also true that culture is downstream

99
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:22,679
from religion. The religious principle of a culture, the religious principles, plural of a culture, or the

100
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:29,860
lack of them, will determine the shape and direction of that culture. Let me reiterate, the church must not

101
00:12:29,860 --> 00:12:37,580
be shy about entering the fray. We must acknowledge, for example, that we are in an information war

102
00:12:37,580 --> 00:12:44,840
with the voice of evil. For centuries now, that evil voice has understood how the human mind and heart

103
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:53,879
is shaped by sources of information in entertainment and education and news broadcasting. The devil has

104
00:12:53,879 --> 00:13:01,700
been tireless in taking them over. So, we must do things like consciously create and sustain honest,

105
00:13:02,179 --> 00:13:09,639
forthright news sources that creatively teach biblical principles and communicate information that squares

106
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:20,159
with the truth. We already know that the mainstream media is a dead, lying hulk on its last gasps of

107
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:31,779
wheezing breath. Gallup recently polled Americans and found trust in the mainstream media. Outlets like CBS, NBC,

108
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:40,639
ABC, NPR, CNN, and the rest of the traditional media we have come to loath and distressed. That approval rating

109
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:48,399
hovers around 30 percent from a high of over 75 percent in the 70s. I'm surprised the number is still that high,

110
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:55,600
30 percent. Other results place that trust level in the teens. Ah, the proliferation of social media,

111
00:13:55,759 --> 00:14:02,960
on the other hand, and independent voices, creative outlets, has transformed how we consume information.

112
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:10,320
And as Christians, we need to fill the void, take the lead in bringing the truth of our world to hearts

113
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:17,440
that are eager to hear the truth. And then we must also cultivate, in this cultural area,

114
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:25,419
we must also cultivate and husband the arts. Oh, in this regard, dear listener, Hollywood is dead,

115
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:33,539
isn't it? Hollywood is dead. Amen. How satanic it has become over the decades. The new Transformer

116
00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:40,460
movie, for example, has as its main characters demons from the pit of hell. Molech and Lilith are

117
00:14:40,460 --> 00:14:46,980
straight out of the panoply of witches and demons of the ancient past. But thankfully, no one is

118
00:14:46,980 --> 00:14:53,840
watching. Movies like Snow White or Alice in Wonderland, the Transformers, they are DEI to their

119
00:14:53,840 --> 00:15:00,259
core, but they bomb at the box office. All of the arts, too, dear listener, not just entertainment,

120
00:15:00,419 --> 00:15:07,139
must be brought under the creative touch of Christ and his church. It was, after all, the church that

121
00:15:07,139 --> 00:15:14,059
commissioned and cultivated the art that dominated and defined the Western world and arguably the whole

122
00:15:14,059 --> 00:15:21,259
world culture of world culture for centuries. Music, painting, literature can once again become great

123
00:15:21,259 --> 00:15:29,860
under the inspiration of God's Spirit in man. Now, if you want a definitive tutorial on how the church

124
00:15:29,860 --> 00:15:38,379
inspired the arts throughout the centuries, oh, just reference almost any of the films made by Dr.

125
00:15:38,379 --> 00:15:44,639
Francis Schaeffer. I highly commend them to you. The films of Dr. Francis Schaeffer, they can still be

126
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:51,000
found online. And they hearken back to the 70s, those films, but they're still worth screening today.

127
00:15:51,139 --> 00:15:59,399
And they tell the story of how the church virtually invented culture through the centuries, through her

128
00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:07,960
art and sustaining of the arts. Even architecture, now taken by the demonic as well, can be reformed.

129
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,299
Even architecture. Have you seen photos of Barack Obama's presidential library, for example?

130
00:16:13,820 --> 00:16:20,620
Google it. It is a hideous, windowless, graceless monolith that could have come right out of Mordor,

131
00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:26,340
the palace of Sauron, indeed. Perhaps it was designed by someone in the Bureau of Prisons.

132
00:16:27,179 --> 00:16:34,480
It will certainly fit right in with their structures. And on a side note, is in complete harmony

133
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:41,519
with Obama's character and presidency, is his presidential library. It is possible to recall

134
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:49,940
the real power and grace of the medieval cathedral, for example, or the Roman forum complex. Oh, visit

135
00:16:49,940 --> 00:16:55,340
the great medieval cathedrals in Europe, and you'll see how it took generations to build just one of

136
00:16:55,340 --> 00:17:00,820
them. But it took the resources of the whole community, and it was dedicated to God, these beautiful

137
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:07,420
structures that still endure. And once more, Francis Schaeffer does a marvelous job of documenting these

138
00:17:07,420 --> 00:17:14,960
truths. At the end of the day, we can say that architecture speaks of what we worship. It does.

139
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:23,380
It is theology. Architecture is theology in stone, glass, and steel. Well, we must also then

140
00:17:23,380 --> 00:17:31,059
create alternatives in our culture. Create alternatives in our culture to the bestial

141
00:17:31,059 --> 00:17:37,380
school systems. Oh, we could have an entire broadcast dedicated just to this. The beast

142
00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:45,039
now teaches your children in public schools and places of higher education. With transgenderism as

143
00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:52,140
their social model and Marxist socialism as the curriculum, the capture of your children is complete.

144
00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:59,720
And we can say the public school is now, if not the synagogue of Satan, then certainly the schoolhouse

145
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:06,140
of Satan. The universities as well have been captured institutions for generations now, and Charlie

146
00:18:06,140 --> 00:18:13,359
Kirk made the university campus one of his favorite venues, didn't he? Trying to reclaim. I have spoken

147
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:19,359
extensively on this topic before, and I'll not spend a lot of time on it except to continue to encourage you

148
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:27,000
to homeschool your children, perhaps, or help create Christian schools to educate your children. Do you see

149
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:34,480
the face of Satan in our culture, dear listener? It is there, the face of Satan, glimmering through,

150
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:41,720
from the prancing demons in the halftime shows in the Super Bowl, to the death mask painted on the faces

151
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:49,980
of Hollywood, to the twisted gnomes hissing at abortion rallies? Increasingly, Satan and his own

152
00:18:49,980 --> 00:18:57,480
are manifesting themselves as they gain boldness and power in our culture, and they must be met

153
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:04,980
and stopped. We must not flinch from our cultural calling in this, but that is not all, dear listener,

154
00:19:04,980 --> 00:19:12,940
because thirdly, the third effort we must make is to punish evil to the full extent of the law.

155
00:19:14,339 --> 00:19:22,400
Punish evil and the evildoers to the full extent of the law. We must be prepared to punish without

156
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:28,460
flinching the evil behavior in our society. This is one place where we as Christians seem to hesitate

157
00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:35,680
to move. Unless we do, we will see the evil forces in our nation continue to use the institutions of law

158
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:42,160
and order and government to wage lawfare against President Trump, for example, and eventually all of us,

159
00:19:42,579 --> 00:19:48,759
they're just going through him to get to us, and to punish parents at school board meetings, for example,

160
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:56,660
for insisting on righteous schools, to jail peaceful protesters and kill patriots like Ashley Babbitt,

161
00:19:56,660 --> 00:20:04,019
who were shot by a police officer at the January 6th Capitol protest in 2021, and most importantly,

162
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:12,500
they will continue to impose a panopticon AI system of tyranny upon all of us, and that is perhaps the

163
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:21,940
most dangerous and most pressing threat to all of us. So, what I find is that most well-meaning Americans

164
00:20:21,940 --> 00:20:28,660
tend to project their good intentions and their benevolent spirit onto others, especially those

165
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:35,799
who govern us. But in the case of our current governing institutions, that is fatal. If you

166
00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:42,799
continue to think that your government has your best interests and your well-being in mind, then you are

167
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:48,460
out of your mind. I will not try to persuade you of this basic premise, if you don't believe it already,

168
00:20:48,460 --> 00:20:55,079
that your government is a parasite that has now metastasized to threaten the very life of its host,

169
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:02,019
the people. If you do not already see this, then I will not persuade it of you here in these last

170
00:21:02,019 --> 00:21:10,619
few minutes, but it may be well too late by the time you do see it. We must rather use the institutions

171
00:21:10,619 --> 00:21:16,579
of government as best we can while we can. The indictment of James Comey, for example, is a meager

172
00:21:16,579 --> 00:21:23,559
but constructive start. The evil men and women in our country must be held accountable, and that goes

173
00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:28,680
for the killers of Charlie Kirk, for that matter. There are still numerous questions surrounding his

174
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:34,359
death that have not been answered, but the evidence is mounting that perhaps there was more to the story

175
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:43,980
than one disturbed lone wolf shooter. And we must cast our net wider. Thousands of evil men and women

176
00:21:43,980 --> 00:21:52,160
must be held to account. For example, the traffickers and abusers of the some 350,000 plus children

177
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:58,660
smuggled across the border under the Biden administration. They were used in sex exploitation

178
00:21:58,660 --> 00:22:05,440
and as slave labor across the country, and they still are being used. Slavery has never been more

179
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:13,779
prevalent than in our day. And such evil people that enslave must be jailed and in some cases,

180
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,700
excuse me, executed. The participants in the Luciferian cults that are springing up like weeds

181
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:27,039
across the country must be held to account and punished. These too use and abuse children and have

182
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:36,140
them as prime objects of blood rituals. Also, those actively and quite self-consciously working for a

183
00:22:36,140 --> 00:22:42,519
Marxist revolution in America and committing treason against the Constitution, these offenses are

184
00:22:42,519 --> 00:22:48,319
punishable by death, and those who do them must be held to account. This has been a sustained,

185
00:22:48,319 --> 00:22:54,039
sustained, excuse me, conspiracy for decades now, and we know who the principles are.

186
00:22:54,039 --> 00:23:00,839
The riots in our major cities over ice arrest, for example, is only the tip of the Marxist iceberg.

187
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:08,700
Now, I have my own top 10 to be held on trial for capital offenses. If that day ever comes,

188
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:16,079
I have my own top 10 to be held on trial for capital offenses. Number one, Barack Obama.

189
00:23:16,779 --> 00:23:22,720
Number two, Joe Biden. These two presidents have been prime suspects. Hillary Clinton, James Comey,

190
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:32,500
former FBI director, James Clapper, John Brennan, CIA, Alexander Mayorkas, HHS, who smuggled all those

191
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:38,180
children across the border, threw open the doors of our border, Susan Rice, General Milley,

192
00:23:38,180 --> 00:23:46,039
who committed treason, Merrick Garland, as well, former attorney general, American attorney general,

193
00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:53,240
all 10 of these. Now, I understand that the system as it is presently constituted is rigged

194
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:58,740
against most of these traitors ever being indicted, much less convicted. So I have another solution.

195
00:23:59,220 --> 00:24:05,019
That is, if we can hold Congress and the White House. First, Congress has the power to establish

196
00:24:05,019 --> 00:24:11,740
inferior courts to the Supreme Court. Therefore, create tribunals along the lines of the Nuremberg

197
00:24:11,740 --> 00:24:18,900
tribunals used after World War II to try Nazi criminals. They would be special courts, independent

198
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:25,359
of the present corrupt courts, and then also establish special prosecutors under the executive branch

199
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:31,539
to bring charges and prosecute these criminals in these courts. Now, so far, even under Trump,

200
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:38,119
the Department of Justice had proved weak and ineffective in holding these, continuing to

201
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:45,839
practice evil to account. So we need to find a radical alternative. Purge the evil from your midst,

202
00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:54,900
as the Lord told Israel, purge the evil from your midst. So until we understand the width, length,

203
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:02,859
depth, and height of evil's permeation into our land, we will continue to be overcome by it. We need to

204
00:25:02,859 --> 00:25:10,099
stand against it, the church leading the way, and we must be relentless, and we must be strengthened for

205
00:25:10,099 --> 00:25:17,019
the battle ahead. That battle against evil in the spiritual realm, as well as the physical, will not

206
00:25:17,019 --> 00:25:24,619
be easy, and it will not be quickly accomplished either. It has taken generations for us to reach this

207
00:25:24,619 --> 00:25:32,619
point, as we have benignly let evil have its way. That's taken generations to happen, and so it will

208
00:25:32,619 --> 00:25:39,720
be generations, perhaps, until we achieve a measure of victory and establish righteousness in the land,

209
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:47,559
even as our founding fathers had designed only a righteous and ethical people. This constitution,

210
00:25:47,559 --> 00:25:56,500
as James, or as John Adams put it, this constitution is designed only for a moral and ethical people,

211
00:25:56,839 --> 00:26:03,119
and that moral and ethics, of course, was based securely on the Bible and the righteousness that

212
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:10,559
it propagates. May God assist us in our labors as we seek to defeat the evil that killed Charlie Kirk,

213
00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:18,180
and will kill all of us if we let it. Only through biblical principle and fighting the good fight of

214
00:26:18,180 --> 00:26:24,480
the spiritual warfare will we succeed. This has been Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox

215
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:31,000
Presbyterian Church. We meet for holy worship on Sundays at 101 4th Street on the corner of 4th and

216
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:37,819
Boulevard. We encourage you to join us as we worship, and you can call us for more information or feedback.

217
00:26:37,819 --> 00:26:49,579
Give us some feedback as well at area code 208-523-0196. Area code 208-523-0196.
