In the 2008 presidential election, over 68 percent of those in the age demographic of 18-33-year-olds voted for Barack Obama. Just before Obama’s second term in office, at the 2012 Republican National Convention, the Republicans sadly were dressed up as if they were going to an Elvis concert (sorry folks, Elvis died in 1977), forgetting about our youth as Obama was on a national college tour. Why?
The Obama administration has without fail, since day one, stood in direct contradiction to what the president and his minions appear to be advocating.
For example, just last week, Time reported, “Obama looks to boost young minorities,” while behind the back of young minorities he advocates their eradication through Planned Parenthood (concerning the topic of abortion).
Despite this, Obama publicly puts on a front that he is “his brother’s keeper” and wants to protect America’s youth by educating them.
Well, I agree, but what sort of education are you talking about? Let’s educate the American people by simply looking back to see what history teaches us.
When we look back at the atrocities committed by Hitler, Mao, Stalin and Mussolini, we say, “That will never happen here.” We turn a blind eye and choose not to see the parallel between then and what is happening in our nation now through our “foreign to America’s Constitution” leader in the White House, a leader the American people tolerate.
For example, Mao Zedong, without regard to the laws, went to the young to have them uproot the capitalists, his “political opponents.”
Under Mussolini, you could not teach in school unless you carried the card of the Fascist Party.
To ensure that youth fully supported communism, Stalin’s major vehicle of political education was through the Communist League of Youth, without which he would have never succeeded.
Adolf Hitler said, “Give me the youth, and Germany will rule the world.” Hitler took control of the education system to indoctrinate the youth with his Nazi propaganda. He also established “Hitler’s Youth,” mainly comprised of church youth groups.
Now to date we have an administration contriving yet another educational scheme being illegally implemented (10th Amendment) on America’s posterity through “Common Core.” What could be worse? Well, let me show you:
“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.” – William Penn
This week, in an article at Salon.com, I was named, along with Tim Tebow, as one of five Christian “hipsters” trying to make fundamentalism look cool.
Fundamentalism is defined in Webster’s 1828 dictionary as “a leading or primary principle, rule, law or article, which serves as the ground work of a system; essential part; as the fundamentals of the Christian faith.”
What did Founding Father Noah Webster say? “The Christian faith.” Why, yes, he did!
Noah Webster was also known as the man that, “Taught millions to read and not one to sin!” (1 John 3:4)
Webster also stated, “All miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”
Oh, friends, these “reporters” love to get America asking the wrong questions, only in hopes of not having to give you the right answers.
What we have here are some ignorant writers that do not understand that America is based off of Law, not their opinions! And when they understand that we are ruled by Law, then and only then will they understand what unites us. We are all rooted in the same principles; we are One Nation Under God.
Right must always be right, truth must always be truth. Right and wrong is a permanent fixture of morality God established through the Ten Commandments, which cannot be moved or shifted from their proper place. (Exodus 20:13)
Friends, you cannot bring “right” down to a lower level because others may want it lowered to fit their lawless lifestyle. It must be where it always is.
Is crime supposed to replace the Law that produces liberty? That is no good for any society. That produces bondage, not liberty. Do away with the law and you have no crime. Criminals love that mentality!
Right is right eternally, and cannot be wrong. You cannot lift up wrong and make it even “somewhat right.”
Man’s inability is not the kind that removes responsibility. Sin is moral, not physical. Never fall into the error that moral inability will be an excuse for sin.
This is dangerous doctrine, America. The law is a just one, and man is bound by it – though his sin has rendered him incapable of fulfilling it.
I have often wondered how the American people are at peace with a system that is clearly at war with God. It is a war history teaches us that this system will never win. And a war in which the good people will suffer if they do not fight against these dangerous ideologies. Friends, the peace is in Christ, not outside. (John 16:33)
Charles Spurgeon said, “A war against falsehood, a war against sin, is God’s war; it is a war which commends itself … like a trumpet against sin, that our warfare is justified by the eternal laws of justice.”
He goes on:
“Ours is a spiritual kingdom, and the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but spiritual, and mighty through God, to the pulling down of strongholds.”
If being lied about on a weekly basis and persecuted for righteousness’ sake is “trying to be cool,” then my detractors’ assumptions are right. My objective is to win this generation (Psalm 76) and to defend and protect a generation that has been subjected to everything and protected from nothing.
Over the past 14 years, in the course of doing more than 350 public high-school presentations across the country in 24 states, my ministry team and I have (without fail) fought on the behalf of a generation that is being subjected to everything and protected from nothing.
We have seen firsthand the effects of what the federal government has been doing on a daily basis through the illegalities of educational schemes it brings forth – in an attempt to implement a “game changer” on a defenseless population behind the backs of the American people. (Read Article 10 of the Bill of Rights.)
For example:
1) No Child Left Behind, which should rightly be named “No Child Left Un-indoctrinated,” is nothing more than equalizing the playing field where all students become equal (communism), and is a program that shoots for the floor and not for the stars.
2) International Baccalaureate. International Baccalaureate is an educational scheme that was contrived and developed in Sweden in 1968.
Here is what International Baccalaureate teaches:
• Earth worship
• Evolution
• Socialized medicine
• World government
• Animal rights (animals seen as bothers and sisters)
• Redistribution of American wealth to other nations
• Contraception and “reproductive health” (legal abortions)
• Debt forgiveness to Third-World nations
• Adoption of the gay rights agenda
• Elimination of the right to bear arms
• Setting aside massive amounts of private land where no human presence is allowed
3) Common Core. Common Core is a “one-size-fits-all” federal redesign of the entire U.S. education system and is developed entirely by a select few individuals; this grand redesign is being aggressively marketed by federal bureaucrats, private trade associations, global corporations, state governors, billionaire philanthropists and politicians in all political parties. No parent, teacher or citizen approval. No public debate. No legislation was passed or new federal funding authorized. Without the slightest amount of valid academic research to validate this, Common Core claims to have “rigorous” and “internationally benchmarked” standards that will “enhance college and career readiness for America’s children.”
No longer are we talking about a Third-World country, my friends. We are now talking about the United States of America.
At war with God
“The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty; and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments …
“We waste so much time and money in punishing crimes, and take so little pains to prevent them. We profess to be republicans, and yet we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government, that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity, by means of the Bible; for this divine book, above all others favors that equality among mankind, that respect for just laws.” – Benjamin Rush
In complete contradiction to America’s foundational principles, John Dunphy, in his article, “A Religion for a New Age,” said:
“The Bible is not merely another book … it has and remains an incredibly dangerous book. … I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith. … These teachers must embody the same dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subject they teach. … The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new – the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism, resplendent in its promise of a world in which the never-realized Christian ideal of love thy neighbor will finally be achieved.”
How far are they willing to go? As far as you let them go!
America is either going to make this our greatest opportunity in proving our God by putting a stop to these crimes concerning our posterity, or she will be remembered as the greatest disgrace known in history who did not stand on the behalf of her young. There is no in between. Now is our time.
People are destroyed for a lack of knowledge! Know your history.
“The Laws of God and of man have been violated, and the guilty must not go unpunished.”
– President Harry Truman, May 1945, Nuremburg Trials “Tyranny on Trial”
Interestingly enough, back in 1945, during the Nuremberg Trials, when the war criminals were rounded up by a world tribunal to bring forth justice concerning those who were responsible for the murder of 12 million people (mainly Hitler’s regime), when it was time to answer for their crimes, the accused stated that they were “just doing what they were ordered to do,” regardless if it was legal or illegal, not only in the sight of man, but also before a Just and Holy God (Proverbs 21:3).
The real question here should be: Who were the real criminals? Those who committed the crimes, or those who let them commit the crimes? Imagine with me for a moment if the people in Germany would have dealt with these criminals before their crimes commenced – how different would the outcome have been (Deuteronomy 28:63)?
Let me show you how history is repeating itself right here in America.
When I look across the country, as I do on a daily basis, and see things taking place in America, I can’t help but wonder why we are where we are today and who is to blame for the position that we as a people are in.
First, I know we cannot blame the professed church in America for holding back the Word of the Lord concerning homosexuality, abortion and government corruption because they do not want to offend anyone. After all, while Christ was being delivered up for the guilt (sins) of mankind, it was the religious hypocrites crying, “We have no king but Caesar!” (John 19:15)
We cannot blame the homosexuals who are being used to upend the Constitution of the United States, to make way for Shariah law. After all, that is the way they were born.
We cannot blame the abortionists who murder over 4,000 babies a day across America. After all, it was the Supreme Court of the United States that sanctioned the victims’ murder under the guise of “choice.”
I know that we cannot blame those in government, namely the corrupt politicians who knowingly, at every step of the way, willfully violate the U.S. Constitution, and who on a daily basis trample our rights that hundreds of thousands of our forefathers, grandpas, fathers, uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters have fought, bled and died to give us.
I know that we cannot blame the teachers across the country that teach what they know is illegal, immoral and un-American in our classrooms under every guise: “No Child Left Behind,” “International Baccalaureate” or even “Common Core.” After all, they have to hold onto their jobs.
We certainly cannot blame the 86 percent of the parents who claim they are Christians, patriots, or conservatives and are dropping their children off at school gates to be illegally indoctrinated by the federal government, for they are just doing what everyone else is doing (10th Amendment).
Or what about those in the state-run media who do what they are told regardless of the information broadcast, whether it is true or not? We cannot blame them either, for they are just following orders on what to report.
You know, this mentality sounds all too familiar. The Nazis during the Nuremburg Trials said they were just doing their job, just following orders.
No questions, no moral conviction, no standing against that which violates God and His Laws. Has America taken on the same mentality?
It has been said that, “A nation whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the police state dictatorship it is going to get.” How true!
So, I ask, who is to blame? The American people who let them do it!
The video below brings forth the message of a prophet:
America needs to learn from history so that history does not repeat itself:
“If God does not exist, then everything is permissible. If there is no God, then there are no rules to live by, no moral Law we must follow; we can do whatever we want.”
– Unknown
While the charade of Russia, China and America being at odds with each other continues over fabricated circumstances (only to create more chaos in order to implement more government control on a global scale), one must take note that these supposed arch enemies are all in agreement with the same communist ideologies.
These communist nations (all three of them) are attempting to convince their people that God does not exist, that the rules you live by are what they approve or disapprove of and that there is no moral Law we must follow (Psalm 2:2). It’s the idea that we can do whatever we want to as long as they agree with what we do.
When you see what these communists produce, you can see why they do not want you taking heed to the God of Moses (Exodus 20) – because God’s Law simply exposes them for who they are.
Look at the fruit of these communists: murder, theft and destruction (John 10:10). They would be put out of business if the people across the world would simply obey God’s Commandments.
Yes, it is that simple.
These tyrants understand that wars (the wars they create) are brought forth through the rule of force, and force is what they use to rule.
While peace is found through the reign of Law, it is the Law that these tyrants refuse to submit to in order to have peace (Isaiah 51:4).
In contrast, righteous King David understood that it was the Law that made the king, when he stated, “I am for peace but when I speak they are for war” (Psalm 141:5). In other words, King David knew that God’s Law, when magnified, brought forth peace through judgment.
American forefather Noah Webster knew what disobeying God’s Law would bring forth. He said:
“All the miseries and evils which men suffer from: vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”
And to bring it to the present, Franklin Graham comes to my aid when he says, “(The) president and his attorney general have turned their backs on God and His standards, and many in the Congress are following this administration’s lead.”
To show you what happens when you turn the other cheek concerning ideologies corrupt governments promote, I would like to show you the citizenry that follows in close pursuit, the type of people these communists breed:
(This is an email sent to me, Bradlee Dean, quoted verbatim.)
“Bradlee Dean, you stinking sack of vomit, this is just the same old tired, idiotic BULLST!!!! You stupid b#@tard – how dare you accuse our legitimate government of ‘tyranny’? You hypocritical prk! YOU are determined to impose Christian tyranny on this proudly secular, multi-religious country. YOU are like Hitler, Stalin and Mao, not Obama, who is a good, decent, honorable, honest, courageous, compassionate man – EVERYTHING YOU ARE NOT!!!
“It’s ILLEGAL to teach evolution in schools??? You blithering idiot!!!! SAYS WHO?????? You f*#king a@#hole! You are determined to teach kids the idiocy of creationism as scientific fact in schools!!!! How dare you demand that our schools indoctrinate kids with BULLS@#T?
“You are determined to teach blatant lies about homosexuals and homosexuality to young people, which will turn them into the same vicious homophobic bigot YOU are!!! You are no better than Hitler. But Hitler was at least an intelligent and educated man. YOU are a blithering idiot with s@#t for brains. I am going to organize a campaign to have you permanently barred from ever setting foot in any public school in the U.S. for life, and will see to it that if you ever do so, you will be immediately arrested, prosecuted and given a stiff jail sentence. YOU ARE A F@#KING CRIMINAL. A bigoted, hateful, hypocritical and self-righteous a@#hole!
“It’s your funeral, you douche bag!!!!”
What was my response to this letter, you might ask? I did not give him one. My Father said that I am not to answer a fool in his folly (Proverbs 26:4). (I can tell you that he is answering to the federal authorities right about now.)
But, I do say, that you would do well to answer a tyrant in his lawlessness by obeying God and keeping His commandments while you have the time to do just that. There will always be men like this in the world, yet it does not mean they will go without consequence! That is why we have Law!
We live in a fallen world, and I say that by the grace of God, let’s pick up this world and magnify the Law against these crimes! Tyrants need to be reminded by the Lord’s children that God does exist, and that His children will not tolerate their crimes any longer! And this is how the kingdom of God is established on this earth as it is in Heaven (Matthew 6:10).
What is the history of Americans that have stood up to the task of dealing with lawlessness? You will be surprised:
Sports Fans: Choose the ‘Big Game’ or Your Freedom?
“America’s sworn enemies have stated that the ‘American people’s god has now become sports. So attack.’ And attacking they are.” – Bradlee Dean
Sports fans, I have a question for you: What was the score to last week’s football game between your favorite teams? Or how about last week’s score between your favorite baseball teams? Next, I ask you, have you been paying attention to the fact that America is under attack on a daily basis by this administration both from within and from without, through foreign infiltration, corruption and chaos at every turn? (Psalm 9:17)
What can you answer more accurately: The score from your favorite team’s game, or the resolve to America’s dilemma concerning corruption within? (In essence, righting the wrongs.)
Is it not foolish for the American people, on a daily basis, to continue to magnify the crimes committed against them in the face of tyranny?! Is it not a sad day when the people at large know everything that is destroying their country, the people who are doing it and even, in detail, how these crimes are being committed? How shameful! What is shameful here is the fact that the American people still have the freedom to right the wrongs, and yet they do not!
I ask, where are the patriots?
We hear much from the conservatives and talking heads about patriotism, but how many really know what a patriot is? Patriot is defined in Webster’s 1828 dictionary as one who “loves his country, and zealously supports and defends its interests.”
President George Washington coined the definition perfectly when he said, “Deeds, not words!” (1 John 3:18)
As a matter of fact, it was said of George Washington that he was, “First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”
But instead of the American people taking responsibility for what they have been given, namely, a gift called “freedom” at such a terrible price through war and bloodshed, they care more about the “big game” and are content for the most part to be entertained out of their freedoms.
What a slap in the face to those who suffered for our freedoms!
The American people have now become so preoccupied with watching men that have spent thousands of hours and millions of dollars fighting over a “pig ball,” and all the while their freedoms are stolen away right under there noses. America’s priorities are backwards when it comes to the preservation of freedom (Isaiah 59), and in the process they act as if they do not know why their country is being destroyed. I leave you to ponder this question: What’s more important – the “big game” or your freedom?
The video below will show you the absolute lunacy of what America has settled for when it comes to what matters the most. Is it worth it? You decide.
“Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.”
– William Penn 1668
“We ought to obey God rather than men.”
– Acts 5:29
This last week my ministry team made national news (again) as we came under fire for seeking and saving the lost. A deranged “Constitution teacher” physically assaulted my street team ministry leader for stating that “separation of church and state” is not found in the Constitution.
We were not breaking the law; we were obeying God and the laws of our republic. The “Constitution teacher” was breaking the law. How does one see this as a defeat in the face of an assault on the American way, when we simply need to stand and claim the right that God gave us? We have God and the law on our side.
For the life of me, my friends, I do not and will not ever understand why the American people (Christians and patriots) stand back and give victory to those who violate the laws of our constitutional republic on a daily basis.
I spend more time encouraging my readers and radio show listeners than not. When speaking of governmental corruption, I repeatedly hear such things as, “There is no sense. There is nothing that we can do about it,” in essence carrying a mentality that the government has a right to break the law.
The professed church is no better: “Do you see what the devil is doing?” I ask the capitulators, did Jesus Christ suffer Calvary’s cross to give POWER unto VICTORY for the church? Why, yes, He did (1 Corinthians 15:57).
It is a good thing that our forefathers, veterans, apostles and prophets did not give up their sovereignty through fear of the enemy (an enemy that today is less than 1.7 percent of the American population).
Instead of magnifying the crime, why don’t the 312 million people in this country say thank you with their actions (1 John 3:18) to those who gave their all for the gift of salvation and freedom we now possess? America has the freedom – and a duty – to right the wrongs.
The great marvel in America today is the lack of Christianity and patriotism – which clings itself to American privileges and neglects freedom’s obligation.
At one particular high school lyceum in Missouri, I was advocating life by showing a picture of a little boy whose father and mother stood up for life by having surgery on their baby in the womb, rather than killing him through abortion. The principal interrupted my presentation and gave students the opportunity to leave. When almost everyone stayed, the principal then forced the students to leave. The response was a standing ovation (in my favor) by the entire student body and staff for standing my ground.
A similar thing happened in Arkansas:
I am not going to ask for permission to magnify the American cause – especially from those who are traitors to the Bible and the Constitution.
Noah Webster, who wrote Webster’s dictionary, was known for teaching millions to read and not one to sin. He stated:
“The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all of our civil constitutions and laws. … All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”
It is time, America, to stand up, not to sit down. Not only is God on your side, but also the laws of our republic.
A hate crime is usually defined by state law as one that involves threats, harassment, or physical harm and is motivated by prejudice against someone’s race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation or physical or mental disability. Laws vary by state and if hate crimes are provided for by statute, the definitions of hate crimes and penalties imposed vary. States that have hate crime statutes provide harsher penalties for such offenses. (Source: https://definitions.uslegal.com/h/hate-crime/)
Really? Let’s take a look at the ACLU and see who is guilty of a “hate crime.”
ACLU Targets Christians:
• In Virginia, the ACLU has protested the issuing of “Choose Life” license plates and a moment of silence for school children at the beginning of each day. • In Colorado, the ACLU successfully defended a homosexual female in her effort to gain co-parenting custody of a young girl from her Christian mother. The judge ruled that the homosexual was a “psychological parent” who deserved 50-50 custody of the child. • The ACLU is defending the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) for this pedophile group’s role in the brutal murder of 10-year-old Jeffrey Curley in 1997. Salvatore Sicari and Charles Jaynes picked up fifth-grader Jeffrey Curley and took the boy to the Boston Public Library where Jaynes accessed NAMBLA’s website. Later, the men attempted to sexually assault Curley, but the boy fought back. Attempting to restrain him, Jaynes gagged the 10-year-old with a gasoline-soaked rag, eventually killing him. The men put Jeffrey’s body in a tub with concrete and threw it in a river. The ACLU argues that the newsletters and other NAMBLA materials in Jaynes’ possession, which contain ”photographs of boys of various ages and nude drawings of boys,” are protected speech under the Constitution. • The ACLU routinely opposes internet filtering systems on library computers to protect children from exposure to pornography. • The ACLU favors the decriminalization of marijuana. So does George Soros – go to GeorgeSoros.com. • The ACLU has filed lawsuits throughout the United States to remove Christian crosses and the 10 Commandments from public buildings. • The King, North Carolina city council was threatened with a potential lawsuit by the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State for flying a Christian Flag outside the city building at the community’s request.
The ACLU Version of the First Amendment
in 2005, the ACLU was busted trying to re-create the First Amendment in their own image. Below is the ACLU version of the First Amendment:
 “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
The First Amendment actually begins, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…etc.”
Are they discriminating based upon religion???? Hmmmm….
 In 2004, the Bill O’Reilly show explained where the ACLU gets its funding. After doing a little research, we found the following:
Memberships totaled 12.5 million in contributions by members in 2001.
Foundations Donors as of 2004: *Ford Foundation gave over 14 million *George Soros – through the Open Society Institute: 2 million. By the way, the Trustee for the OSI in 2004 was Bill Moyers with PBS. *The Carnegie Corporation – 800,000 Judy Woodruff, formerly with CNN, now with PBS, and a trustee of Carnegie in 2004. She recently wrote a favorable aticle on the nomination of Elena Kagen. *Rockefeller Corporation – 275,000 *Most money going into the ACLU comes from left-wing organizations
The Center for Reclaiming America for Christ has uncovered documents revealing that between 1990 and 1997, the Florida Bar Foundation (FBF), a creation of the Florida Supreme Court, provided more than $600,000 to help pay the salary of the ACLU of Florida’s legal director.
What is the ACLU all about?
“I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself… I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.” – Roger Baldwin, Founder of ACLU
“Call it what you will…perfection, holiness, entire sanctification…it is not only possible, it is not only our privilege, it is God’s commands. No Christian should make excuses for his own imperfections, but should recognize them as failures to keep the commands of Christ, and to strive earnestly to overcome them. Perfection is the goal. This is the Christian’s basic training.” – A.A. Allen
At Paris Island Marines boot camp in South Carolina, a sign states before entering, “Where the difference begins.”
It says Honor – to hold in high esteem. It says Courage – bravery and valor. It says Commitment. These are the requirements to become a full-fledged Marine.
The drill sergeant goes on to explain, “On the very footprints that you are standing, tens of thousands of men and women have stood before you, many of which have given their lives in defense of corps and country.”
Revelation 1:5, “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,”
The drill sergeant then asks, “Are you willing to do the same?”
Jesus said in Matthew 16:24-25, “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.”
Keep in mind that 11 of the 12 disciples were martyred.
In basic training for the Marines, you are conditioned for War.
For the Christian, Paul said, “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier” (2 Timothy 2:3-4).
Before getting off the bus, some of the recruits were interviewed. One of them said, “You just have to keep your mind set on your goals” – that being to come out on the other side as a Marine.
Hebrews 12:2 says, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Another recruit said, “My family thinks I am crazy!”
Luke 14:26, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” (This does not mean you “hate” them; Christ is showing us what our priorities are).
This particular recruit also said, “I’ve served myself for 8 years now. It is time for me to do something for my country.”
John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
The Marines believe that in order to function successfully as a team, recruits lose some of their individuality to by removing certain words from their vocabulary such as I, you, and me.
Galatians 2:20, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
To make sure that they worked in unison as well, they also did a drill where they had 8 recruits on 2 logs, each leg on a log. The front recruit would say, “Move” and they would all move together.
1 Corinthians 1:10; “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
The drill sergeant says, “It is my job to make sure that they become the Marines they seek to become.”
Gal. 3:24, “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”
The Marines motto is, “The few, the proud (gratified), the Marines. The Church of Christ’s mottos is the few, the tried, the overcoming, faith-filled, Christ-like conquerors through Him that loved us.”
Again, when they get off the bus they are told, “When you are told to do something, you will do it.” “Yes, Sir” is the reply, no questions asked. It is not, “I don’t agree with that command,” or “I didn’t interpret it that way.” Christ gave commandments, folks, not requests!
After they get off the bus they go through something called, “hygienics”. They get their heads shaved; they are stripped of all their civilian attire; and are then rebuilt from the bottom up.
2 Corinthians 5:17; “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
On their first day, they are told by their commanders “From this day forward you will treat all commanding officers with the highest respect.” Sounds like double honor!
The drill sergeant goes on, “You must give 100% of yourself at all times. You must obey all orders quickly, willingly, and without question. Above all else, you must never quit or give up.”
Hebrews 10:38-39, “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition.”
The Marines have a banner that says, “Spirit, Discipline.”
1 Corinthians 9:25, 27; “And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.”
During arms training, one of the drill sergeants says to the recruits, “Order arms, position of attention, correct thyself.”
As the church, we are to do as 1 Timothy 4:16 says, “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.”
After the screaming and yelling in the face of the recruits, they soon become accustomed to what is expected of them. The drill instructors then become more of a mentor to them because now they know the mold and frame in that which is expected of them.
You see, God chastens those that He loves, in order that you might be a partaker of His holiness (Hebrews 12:2-11).
When the recruits get over obstacles that they thought they could never overcome, a transformation takes place, and they soon realize that they can do anything.
1 John 4:4; “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
You see, when we come into the kingdom of God, we don’t patch up the old life, we receive a new heart, and a new spirit. God doesn’t patch up the old life, He destroys the old, and He imparts the new.
Do you see church? The commands are there to get you over the obstacles of the flesh, the devil, the world, self and the old nature, knowing that Christ went before you and fulfilled all things. He empowers you to overcome all things that you might inherit the kingdom of God, which God freely gives to those that are hid in Christ.
Grace in the Webster’s 1828 is the application of the righteousness of Christ.
Every time the recruit gets up to train, it gets progressively harder.
This is exactly what Smith Wigglesworth said of the trials of God, “The fire only gets hotter.”
On the weekends the recruits can go to one of ten church services they have on Sunday. On recruit said, “Church (or faith) is the only thing that keeps me going on.”
1 Peter 1:5; “Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
Throughout basic training, they referred to themselves as “this recruit” because they had not yet been given the title of a Marine. The disciples did not walk around calling themselves Christians.
Marksmanship in the Marines is very important. As Christians, we are to be of a single eye. Aim small, miss small.
At no time are they to leave the dead behind. As the Church we are to wake up the dead in their sins (Ephesians 5:14).
During the crucible, the staff sergeants now let the recruits know that they will be accepted as full-fledge Marines.
Church, how are we to preach the cross if we have not experienced it?
A Marine is one who carries the cross and overcomes in all things, and so is a Christian.
A few years ago, we flew out to Tennessee and interviewed Rev. Samuel Kyles. He shared with us a powerful story about his grandson. His grandson, Baby Quinn, had a complete heart transplant at 10 days old. They found through an ultrasound that he had an underdeveloped heart. The insurance company said they would pay for the birth, but not the transplant because it was experimental; only five had been done. So, they starting raising money. “Baby Quinn Needs Heart” was their campaign motto. People from all over sent in their money.
A couple in Chicago was losing their child and they wanted Baby Quinn to have his heart. The doctors took the heart of the dying baby and did a complete heart transplant in the other. It was a miracle! The doctors got so caught up that they waived the fee and the hospital said, “Just pay what you can.”
This couple in Chicago gave up their child’s heart so Baby Quinn could live. Baby Quinn is in his teens and plays soccer. Every now and then the donor’s mother visits Quinn. She grabs him and puts her head upon his chest so that she can listen to her baby’s heart.
What an analogy! When we were dead in our trespasses and sins, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for us. We were hopeless without Him; and to those who receive Him, it is no longer us that lives, but Christ that lives through us. Who’s heartbeat does God hear in you?
George Washington, the first president of the United States, was called a Deist by some. A Deist is someone who believes that God exists, but that He doesn’t interfere in the affairs of men. George Washington (the supposed Deist) rightly said, “Morality cannot be maintained without religious Christian principles.”
When the first congress under the Constitution assembled in New York City on April 30, 1789 to hear George Washington’s inaugural address, President Washington appropriately said:
No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency…You will join me I trust in thinking, that there are none under the influence of which, the proceedings of a new and free Government can more auspiciously commence.
A Deist, huh?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
What about Martin Luther King, Jr? He was called a communist. Well, the problem with that is he was a Baptist preacher. A preacher’s job, of course, as Charles Spurgeon rightly said, is to slay sin—to break the bands of wickedness; not to enslave, but to set them free. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the opposite of a communist; he was a preacher of the gospel.
Benedict Arnold
What about Benedict Arnold? Everybody thought he was a patriot, yet, when exposed, he was found to be a man that committed high treason against his own country.
Benjamin Franklin
What of Ben Franklin, one of the least religious signers of our Constitution? As the governor of Pennsylvania, he issued statewide prayer proclamations. He recommended Christianity in public schools. Benjamin Franklin boosted church attendance. He also called for chaplains and daily prayer at the constitutional conventions. This is also the man that said, “Disobedience to tyrants is obedience to God.” Oh, did I forget to tell you, Ben Franklin also said at the foundation of this country, “There is no such thing as an atheist.” How contrary to the mind that’s at enmity with God.
Jesus Christ
Well, let’s go to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The Pharisees said of Jesus, “…This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils” (Matthew 12:24). Jesus answered in John 8:49-50, “…I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.” Look how the world labels men of righteousness to be the contrary. What of the Son of God? Beelzebub? Hmm. John 7:12 says:
And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him (Christ): for some said, He is a good man (those were the common people who heard him gladly): others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people (parentheses added).
Remember what Jesus said to his brother in John 7:7? “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.” What about in John 15:25 when He said, “…They hated me without a cause.”? Or remember in John 15:17-19:
These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
David
Or we can go to King David in Psalm 109:1-4:
Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They compassed me about also with the words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. For my love they are my adversaries…
Verse 5 goes on:
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
You see, the problem with the world is that their love is set to their own standard, which is really lust. They like to do that which is right in their own eyes. The Bible tells us in Isaiah 5:20, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…” Why is it that men look at good men and call them bad from the world’s point of view? The love of Christ is completely contrary to the love of the world. Friendship with the world is enmity (an enemy) with God. We need to hear the right voice. Men do not understand the character of God—that’s the problem. “God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness” (Psalm 47:8). Psalm 97:2-3 says, “Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.”
What about Jeremiah 9:24?
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
We need to put things back into context and understand the character of God. That’s why men mislabel men.
In 2 Corinthians 7:1 it says, “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” What is the fear of God? Proverbs 6:16-19 says:
These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
You see, reproofs of instruction are the way of life (Proverbs 6:23). That’s why we look at it as hate, because God’s love is sacrificial, and it’s in holiness. So what do we do? We call his love hate. Proverbs 27:6 says, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Most men find love in a flattering tongue which works ruin to their souls, as it says in Proverbs 26:28. Jesus says that the truth will make men free in John 8:32. Please read Hebrew 12 in whole and Revelation 3:17-22. In Isaiah 61:1-2 Jesus preached (and so does his church):
“…good tidings to the meek…to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn…”
He gives “beauty for ashes, oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified” (Isaiah 61:3). Again, that God might be glorified—not man—that no flesh should glory in the presence of the Lord.
We already know that what is highly esteemed by man is an abomination in the sight of God. The Bible also clearly tells us, “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets” (Luke 6:26). When men are loved by all you’d better look the other way. To loose the bands of wickedness is what the church is called to preach; to undo heavy burdens as it says in Isaiah 58—to let the oppressed go free, and that every yoke is broken. Preachers are to preach to men that which saves their souls.
Elijah
What about Elijah? He was labeled the troubler of Israel. Let’s go to 1 Kings 18:17-18:
And it came to pass, when Ahab (the wicked king) saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim (parentheses added).
You see, if you go to Isaiah 59:12-14, “For our transgressions are multiplied before thee (God), and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in street, and equity cannot enter” (parentheses added).
Pay attention to verse 15: “Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey…” Again, let’s put things into context. It’s the veil calling the righteous the wicked, or labeling righteous men wicked things.
Jeremiah
What of Jeremiah? What did the people say of him? They said, “Go prophesy somewhere else. What was Jeremiah doing? Let’s go to Jeremiah 18:18 and find out:
Then said they, Come, let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
Listen to what Jeremiah said in verse 19-20:
Give heed to me, O Lord, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me. Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.
And then all of the sudden the curses were pronounced by Jeremiah upon those that rejected the word of the Lord. Where did Jeremiah prophesy? Well, he went unto the kings of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He went to the gate, as it says in Jeremiah 19:14, “…and he stood in the court of the Lord’s house; and said to all the people…”
Paul
What about Paul who was called a mover of sedition:
For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: Who also hath gone about to profane the temple… (Acts 24:5-6)
Oh! Paul was an apostle, the earliest and most influential interpreter of Christ’s message and teachings; a Christian missionary was that of Paul. Paul was sent to preach to men, to open their eyes, and turn them from darkness to the light, and from the power of satan to the power of God (Acts 26:18).
Disciples
What about the disciples? It was said that the disciples turned the world upside down. No, they turned it upright, America. Acts 17:5-7 says,
But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them (Paul and Silas) out to the people. And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also
Caesar was set against God, and God was set against Caesar, and he was telling the church to obey his decrees. “Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decree of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus” (Acts 17:7). The decrees, folks, were against God.
Let’s put things into perspective. During the revolutionary war in America, the motto was “No king but King Jesus.” And again, disobedience to tyrants was obedience to God. When we label men of a righteous sort, remember, God sent them; the world did not. So let’s get it right!
Despite raving reviews for My War, protest comes from those who have not seen it!
My War is a five-part documentary series I have recently produced. We recently began screening My War: Part One in the Twin Cities. This documentary hits head-on the moral crisis happening in our nation, while bringing resolve as to how to bring this nation back to its Christian Constitutional foundations, wherein lies freedom. Having done over 330 high school assembly programs nationwide, My War is a documentary I have put together after experiencing first-hand what our nation’s future generation has been indoctrinated with over the last 40 years.
There have been 600 people in Minnesota who have been through our premiere (as of December 2010), and the American people have responded to My War: Part One with such reviews as:
“It was awesome. So much more than I expected!! WOW. Very thought-provoking and convicting on a variety of levels!!”
– Roz
“Great Job! It’s what caused me to run for State Rep. Thank you! Keep the passion. God Bless you!”
– Shari
“Great context and quotes. Great blows for freedom.”
– Debby
“Awesome Screening! Hit it home and hit it hard.”
– Mary
“This is a good fight to go after. The people of this country do need to be educated to what our forefathers fought and died for. Keep up the good fight.”
– Dave
“High praises to this documentary. This should jolt all Christians into action!”
– Joe
Although My War has received raving reviews, it seems that some people want to attempt to discredit this documentary, whether they had the facts or not. What could possibly be the problem with teaching people the foundations of who we are as a nation?
After previewing My War: Part One four times at a local movie theatre in Plymouth, Minnesota, we had to move on to a bigger location due to the response of the people. In our departure, the theatre manager approached us and handed us an e-mail that he stated was “not legit.” But he wanted us to see what was going on around our documentary, My War.
The e-mail just happened to be protest from a woman in Canada. It reads as follows:
I became aware that on December 14, 2010, your theatre in Plymouth is scheduled to show a documentary from the ministry You Can Run But You Cannot Hide. That documentary, “My War: The Testimony of Bradlee Dean,” will reflect the views of Dean, the front man for You Can Run But You Cannot Hide.
This troubles me on a number of levels, because both Dean and You Can Run But You Cannot Hide have taken extreme, violent, and anti-gay views over the past year. Earlier this year, Dean said that Muslim nations that execute gay people are “moral.” He said that homosexuals are geared toward pedophilia, and on an average molest 117 children before they’re found out, and he said that gay people are destroying the moral fabric of the country.
These statements are deeply offensive, and deeply worrisome. Why would the [Name] Theatre chain give someone like Dean a venue to espouse these kinds of views? Indeed, the film he plans to show at your theatre is set to discuss, among other things:
-The myth of “alcoholism”
-How Hollywood and homosexuality have led to the moral decline of the country
-How there is no separation between church and state
-How public schools are damaging our children and not teaching them moral values
Again, why would [Name] Theatres, a well-respected movie chain in Minnesota, give Dean a venue to share extreme, anti-gay views?
I urge you to cancel this December 14th showing out of respect for all the LGBT customers your movie theatres serve. Please don’t legitimize a ministry like You Can Run But You Cannot Hide, or the work of Bradlee Dean.
Thank you for your time.
[Woman’s Name]
Victoria, Canada
Despite her letter, the manager stuck to his word and continued our contractual agreement.
How does one write a letter like this without first knowing the facts? How does one protest when they don’t even know what they are protesting? What is it in My War that is so offensive to these people?
I will respond to her mini list of topics:
Topic 1: “How Hollywood and homosexuality have led to the moral decline of the country.”
Is this lady kidding me? Hollywood and the corrupt fruit found on its branches speak for itself. Ask this new generation where they learned how to commit crime and I guarantee it came from what the entertainment industry has been allowed to teach them, and might I add, the parents have irresponsibly allowed them to teach their young.
As for homosexuality having led the country into moral decline, I never said that. Why? Because it has not gone that far…or has it?
Well, since she brought it up, you might want to know…
•Judge John Martaugh, chief magistrate of the New York City Criminal Court has said, “Homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities”.
•Captain William Riddle of the Los Angeles Police says, “30,000 sexually abused children in Los Angeles were victims of homosexuals”.
•37% of homosexuals engage in sadomasochism, which accounts for many accidental deaths. In San Francisco, classes were held to teach homosexuals how to not kill their partners during sadomasochism.
•About 1/3 of all sexual abuse cases among children are committed by homosexuals, and about ½ of all such cases among foster children are committed by homosexual providers.
•41% of homosexuals say they have had sex with strangers in public restrooms, 60% say they have had sex with strangers in bathhouses, and 64% of these encounters have involved the use of illegal drugs.
•50% of the calls to a hotline to report “queer bashing” involved domestic violence (i.e., homosexuals beating up other homosexuals).
•33% of homosexuals ADMIT to minor/adult sex.
•There is a notable homosexual group, consisting of thousands of members, known as the North American Man and Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). This is a child molesting homosexual group whose cry is “SEX BEFORE 8 BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.” This group was seen marching in most major homosexual parades across the United States.
•Homosexuals commit about 33% of all reported child molestations in the United States.
•73% of all homosexuals have had sex with boys under 19 years of age.
•Many homosexuals admit that they are pedophiles: “The love between men and boys is at the foundation of homosexuality”. At least 20% of homosexuals approve of homosexual sex between children and adults.
•Because homosexuals can’t reproduce naturally, they resort to recruiting children. Homosexuals can be heard chanting, “TEN PERCENT IS NOT ENOUGH, RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT” in their homosexual parades. A group called the “Lesbian Avengers” prides itself on trying to recruit young girls. They print “WE RECRUIT” on their literature. Some other homosexuals aren’t as overt about this, but rather try to infiltrate society and get into positions where they will have access to the malleable minds of young children (e.g., the clergy, teachers, Boy Scout leaders, etc.). See the DC Lesbian Avengers web page, and DC Lesbian Avengers Press Release, where they threaten to recruit little boys and girls.
Sadly, we coul d list many, many more statistics regarding the homosexual lifestyle and their crimes. Violence toward anyone is unacceptable. Yet who is being violated? And furthermore, who needs to be protected? They are simply being found out, and these statistics are telling me that they are trying to hide. Game over.
Topic 2: “How there is no separation between church and state.”
The original meaning of the phrase “separation of church and state” is to guard us from what the government is trying to do to us today.
The famous “separation of church and state” which has today become so familiar, was taken from an exchange of letters between President Thomas Jefferson and the Baptist Association of Danbury, Connecticut, shortly after Jefferson became President.
The Baptists wrote a letter of praise to Jefferson, letting him know their happiness that he was now the new president. In the same letter, they also expressed to Jefferson their grave concern over the entire concept of the First Amendment, including its guarantee for “the free exercise of religion.”
Therefore, Thomas Jefferson wrote the Danbury Baptists a letter, ensuring them that he had no intention of allowing the government to limit, restrict, regulate, or interfere with public religious practices. He believed, along with the other Founders, that the First Amendment had been enacted only to prevent the federal establishment of a national denomination, and that man had natural rights.
By definition, “natural rights” was a legal term used in the day, meaning “that which the Books of the Law and the Gospel do contain.”
Article 1 of the Bill of Rights states, “Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of RELIGION, or prohibiting the FREE exercise thereof; or abridging the FREEDOM of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” What part of NO don’t these people understand?
Moses and the Ten Commandments, located on the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., are a perfect exemplification of the freedom of which I speak.
Topic 3: The final topic in which she addressed the theatre manager with – “how public schools are damaging our children and not teaching them moral values.”
Nooooo – what was I thinking??? How many schools we have gone through to see where kids would reply to us after our assemblies that could not even spell; sadly, hundred of thousands of them cannot even read their diplomas. They also know that they are being dummied down through the watering down and revising of our nation’s history. Bill Bennett, former Education Secretary, said, “In America today, the longer you stay in school, the dumber you get…”
One principal in Wisconsin told me, “Whatever starts at the top comes to us at the bottom.” I told him, “I have found that our history and science books are revised every 5-8 years.” He replied with, “It is more than that.”
Speaking of morals, Kevin Jennings, President Obama’s “Safe School Czar” and also a self-proclaimed homosexual, said “f@#$ ‘em”, referring to the conservatives in America. He wrote a forward to a book called Queering Elementary Education.
If the standard is to pervert and confuse the young in today’s society through indoctrination, I say that the Americans will have none of it. The Lord God and our nation’s laws stand against every inch these people attempt to take. The American people are not stupid. Americans are tired of our young becoming the target of every new immoral invention, which, by the way, is nothing new under the sun (read Hosea 4:6-8).
It’s clear to see where this protest is coming from – the gay communities – more so, the radicals in the media who are turning people against the homosexual community rather than to help heal. Time and time again I have reached out and into their communities with the love of Jesus Christ, by warning them of their sins and consequences before God and man. I have not only allowed them to come to our events, but have also invited them to lunch on personal time, all to no avail. At no time have I withheld the truth from these people, and I find that’s what makes them mad. My conscience is free before God, them, and their communities.
Finally, I would like to add that there were 238 e-mails of protest sent to us from Change.org. Here are just a few organizations that were supporting these e-mail protests: Environmental Defense Fund, Amnesty International, Union of Concerned Scientists, World Wildlife Fund, United Nations Foundations, Habitat for Humanity, Reform Immigration For America, Common Cause, Rain Forest Network, Drug Policy Alliance, Service Employees International Union, Oxfam America, ASPCA, and Human Rights Campaign.
It’s interesting as I go through and see the things that people have written about me. If my intent has not been misconstrued, then my words have been. How many lies does the media have to tell before the American people come to the conclusion that they are liars? Article after article has been written about me without any facts. In most cases, I have not received any phone calls or e-mails. Facts don’t seem to come into their equation when writing their stories…and stories is exactly what they are.
It is oftentimes selective reporting (where they pick and choose wordings and sentences to create their fabricated stories), blatant lies, slanderous, malicious and to be quite honest, hurtful and un-American. And the definition of an “American” is why I write this letter.
What defines an American anyway? Just because you were born here does not make you an “American.” To be an American is to line up with who we are as a people and as a nation. A true American’s job is to uphold, preserve, and defend the Constitutional Republic that our forefathers gave us. That is what our president, our representatives, and our military swear (on the Bible) when they take their oaths of office. George Washington said, “Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society.” We are to fight to uphold our pillars as a nation, not tear them down.
Americans are to look out for one another; to watch each other’s backs; and to love one another enough to hold each other to the truth. How foreign this is to those who don’t uphold American values, and you know who they are by the things they write, say, and do, whether ignorantly or intentionally. Are these reporters writing to unite or to divide the American cause?
Freedom of Speech
The state-run media has been taught that to say whatever you want is “freedom of speech.” Not true. Freedom of speech lies within the confines of our “empire of laws,” as president John Adams defined it, not outside of them. In other words, you have the right to say that which promotes freedom and liberty, not lawlessness and an anti-American sentiment. Isn’t that why our forefathers stood against King George? Yes, it is.
How much will the American people tolerate before they figure out that freedom of speech does not destroy, but promotes freedom, liberty, unity and looking out for the other guy? True Americans do not try to destroy one another. Here lies the state-run media’s problem.
As the American people know, I am not offering up my opinion week after week, but rather I am speaking from our two pillars, “religion and morality.” Though I am on national radio, I do weigh myself in the light of my responsibilities before God and man, in which I must stand up and give an account on that final day. This, by the way, is the reason that I do not give my opinion, but rather, the facts. “Facts are stubborn things” – and I am sticking to them, like it or not!
Fast Facts:
1.Moses and the Ten Commandments are displayed on the top of the Supreme Court building.
2.The Statue of Liberty is rightly named, “Liberty Enlightening the World.” You enlighten the world with truth, and it is the truth that makes us free (John 8:32).
3.The Liberty Bell has Leviticus 25:10 inscribed on it: “And proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.”
The fact is, this is who we are, and what has been established. Isn’t it something how this seems to get in the way of those who hate the truth?
These reporters apparently believe that they can do whatever they want to do outside of who we are and what we are founded upon, and still be a free people. Thomas Jefferson said, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free…it expects what never was and never will be.” How foolish!
Why We Are a Great Nation
We are a great nation because our veterans have fought, bled and died to give us liberty as one nation under God, who sent His Son Jesus Christ to make us free. As the saying goes, freedom was not given to do what you want to do, but to do what you ought to do – that’s true grace. This is what is meant by “God shed His grace on thee.” What are you doing with that which was given to you, which came at so costly a sacrifice?
Enough is Enough
As we ponder the awful price of freedom, let me ask you, America, why do you allow these supposed reporters to encourage disarray and an anarchy attitude? The state-run media is being used to promulgate propaganda – the new immoral way instead of the old righteous way (Jeremiah 6:16). They have it backwards and they are guilty of attempting to sink their own boat. In truth, they are enemies to their own people and country.
Instead of them looking to this ministry’s Judeo/Christian/Constitutional message as a lighthouse for safety and solidification, they stay out in the dangerous and tempestuous sea, only to destroy themselves and take down as many as they can with them when the ship goes down.
If you want to see if you are helping the boat (your country) stay afloat or if you are guilty of attempting to sink it, simply read the Bible and your founding documents. You will see the clear correlation so you can know for yourselves where you stand or fall. Then and only then can you make the distinction between those who are lying to you and those who are telling you the truth. Although truth does divide for righteousness’ sake, let that truth and that alone unite us as “We the People,” for it is truth and light that gives us distinction throughout the world. Forget it not. God bless.
Conclusion
And please, if you are one of these reporters that want to write about me, at least know the facts, or contact our ministry first. That way, people will respect you rather than despise you.
A Testimony from Heather in the Booking Department
When You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International Came to my School
When you take a look at our younger generation, at first glance, it seems that we are so far gone as a nation that we are beyond hope. We face youth who are immoral, indoctrinated with a Godless, lawless mentality, and will do extreme things such as school shootings at the drop of a hat.
I understand – I was one of them 12 years ago. I was a perfectly formed in the secular, immoral lifestyle. I grew up barely ever going to church. I hated church, and eventually would not step foot in one. I thought abortion and homosexuality were okay. My mentality was, just “do what you want to do,” as long as you aren’t like Hitler. Sadly, I thought God was okay with that, too.
My senior year in high school, right before Christmas break, You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International came to my school to perform a concert and lyceum. I had no idea that day that my life would be completely transformed! I walked into that assembly program as one of the typical young people that many of you reading this right now think are too brainwashed to hear the truth and receive it. I walked out of the assembly program with lights going on in my heart and mind, questioning EVERYTHING I had been trained up in for 17 years! It is amazing what the Spirit of God can do in a 2-hour assembly program!
I came into the auditorium, dreading having to sit through a boring lecture…or so I thought! When Bradlee Dean began to speak to our school of 1,800 students, it was electrifying. Although I was sitting in the back corner of the room, it was as if there was no one else there, and every word was spoken directly to me. Bradlee did not come across like the same-old sophisticated speaker who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He spoke with such passion and truth that it was impossible NOT to walk away unaffected! He did not beat around the bush and say things “nicely” so as not to hurt the “poor youth” who “have it so rough.” No – he loved us enough to tell us “No!” and mean it. He showed us his scars and I could not get the truth he spoke out of my heart and mind.
Within 2 weeks, I had stopped partying, smoking, and hanging out with my friends who lived that type of lifestyle. I began going to church, and was hungry to learn about the Living God, about the Christ who died for me, and now sits at the right hand of my Father! I came back to school from Christmas break with a Bible in my hand at all times (my choir teacher even took it from me for reading it in class =)).
Since that day, I have been able to be a part of booking the 330 high school assembly programs we have done, and have seen first-hand thousands more youth who experienced the same thing I did when I was sitting in the lyceum myself. It has truly been a blessing.
Four Year-Old Boy tortured for four days, neighbors hear his cries and do nothing
By Heather MacAulay
On April 8, 2010, four year-old Dominick Calhoun was sitting on the living room couch eating cereal when he had a bathroom accident, he peed on the couch. This single act enraged a 24 year-old man (monster would be a better word), Brandon Hayes, who began beating little Dominick repeatedly for four consecutive days. He beat Dominick so badly that he was bruised on every part of his body. Hayes began punching and kicking him in the head, genitals, and everywhere. He burned him with cigarettes and a lighter. When Dominick’s mother tried to stop her boyfriend, she was beaten as well. Dominick was beaten so badly that he was in and out of consciousness. Regardless, Hayes would drag his helpless body from one room to the next, torturing him, saying he deserved to die. Dominick’s aunt came in on the fourth day to find Dominick on the floor, unconscious, dressed in only a t-shirt and pull-ups. Dominick was rushed to the hospital and pronounced brain-dead. Doctors had to remove part of his skull due to severe brain swelling. On April 12, little Dominick Calhoun passed away after being taken off life support.
During the investigation, neighbors told police that they heard the beatings and screams. They heard little Dominick crying, “Mommy, make him stop.” What amazes me is that these people heard the cries of an innocent child, and did absolutely nothing! What is wrong with people?!
While pondering this horrific tragedy, a parallel began to unfold before me. This is exactly what hypocritical religious people have done! We all know the Gospel. You can go into any hotel and find a Bible. In America, the truth is right in front of our faces, and therefore we are left without excuse. We KNOW the awful price of our redemption. We know that because of SIN (transgression of the Law of God – 1 John 3:4), the innocent Lamb of God was delivered into the hands of wicked men who reviled Him, beat Him, scourged Him, mocked Him, and delivered Him up to be crucified. Christ was marred more than any man. Let this sink down into your hearts. Christ willingly laid down His life for our eternal redemption, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us unto God. This is the most important and valuable thing all people have been given. As we “behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world,” the last thing we should do is allow the Son of God to be crucified afresh by allowing sin upon us, or our neighbors.
Just as Dominick’s neighbors could be so heartless and hardened not to speak up on the behalf of the innocent, so the church has allowed, promoted, and even magnified immorality by their silence. What a shame! Woe unto those who sin by silence, for this is why corruption prevails. As Edmund Burke said, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
Dante Alighieri rightly said, “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality.” After seeing the horrific consequence of our lack of duty to look out for one another, it is easy to understand why Dante said this. Let this be a lesson to us all in order to prevent another Dominick from suffering the repercussions of our sin.
What exactly are your kids being taught when they step foot into a public school? Is it good or bad? Is it dangerous or helpful—or maybe a little of both? One of my biggest fears is that parents just blindly send their kids off to school thinking that everything is fine and dandy. They never take the time to read through their kids’ textbooks or look into exactly what is being taught. I can say without hesitation that if most parents were to take the time to look, they would be very shocked—and probably a little angry. Our intention in this article is to give a small taste of what the youth in this country are being force-fed and also give you some ammo on how to fight the battle.
Adolph Hitler once said, “Let me control the textbooks and I will control the state.” Every dictator who has ever controlled a country used the school system to gain power. At a congress of Party education workers during the Bolshevik Revolution it was stated, “We must turn children who can be shaped like wax into real good communists. We must remove the children from the crude influence of their families.” This education policy meant the displacement of the family as the nation’s most important and fundamental social unit, the establishment of institutes to train state approved teachers, and the disassociation of education from the church and its traditional values. Sound familiar?
Under the U.S. Constitution, our system of education is designed to be controlled at the local level by parents and teachers who know the children best. This is to ensure our freedom of education. After all, a “one size fits all” program cannot work in teaching people.
Local control of education worked for many years in this country. That is until President George W. Bush pushed through legislation called the “No Child Left Behind Act” (NCLB). If you ask any teacher abou t this program, he or she will probably keep you there for hours telling you how ineffective this program is, and how in most cases, it is damaging to your child’s education.
I will not spend much time on this topic because many people already know the problems with NCLB. For those who don’t, I recommend doing a Google search on the Internet to find out about the ineffectiveness of the program.
NCLB was signed into law on January 8, 2002 with the primary purpose to close the gap between low performing and high achieving students. This may sound like a noble cause, but the method used to achieve this is doing more harm than good. Under NCLB, every student in every school has to pass exams called “Adequate Yearly Progress Reports.” These exams are exactly the same for every student—including English language learners and special education students.
If schools do not pass these AYPR exams, and keep improving every year, they could face extreme sanctions—including being taken over by the state. One teacher told me, “We are always trying to circumvent the requirements.” Since the fear of not meeting the requirements is so strong, many schools have lowered their curriculum standards in order to get all students above par. NCLB has not raised the standard of education in our country, but has instead, showed the youth how to aim for the floor. The actual NCLB law is over 1,000 pages long—that’s 1,000 pages to get your students to pass exams that are the lowest level of testing in the history of education.
To this day, many states have decided either to pass their own legislation and completely opt out of NCLB, or opt out of certain requirements of the program. In some cases, states have sued the U.S. Department of Education for not allowing them to opt out of the program and maintain their own control. For example, when Utah began to push for opting out of NCLB, Bush administration officials made three visits to the state in less than a month. State officials were told that if Utah chose not to participate in NCLB, all federal funding would be terminated…even those funds completely unrelated to the Act. Would you call that freedom or dictatorship? Unfortunately, I fear this issue isn’t the only thing wrong with our educational system—it is just the tip of the iceberg.
Thomas Jefferson said, “The only foundation for useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion.” For over 200 years we had prayer and the Ten Commandments in our educational system. But on June 25, 1962, the Supreme Court decided we didn’t need them any more, and that they were against the law.
Initially, this may not sound like a big deal, but what that decision did was create a snowball effect that has now resulted in our schools teaching more against Christian values and principles rather than just being neutral. If you were to read a 10th grade history book, you would quickly discover that Christianity, its principles and our founding fathers, are under attack. One textbook, America’s Pathways to Present, for example, tells students: “Along with new ways of trading and worshiping, the Europeans also brought the ravages of disease to the Native Americans.” Both these statements may be true, but when you lump the lot together you have what’s called “association propaganda.” Students see worship and ravages of disease on the same level.
If you think this may be stretching it a little, look at the chapter about the Puritans who first migrated to America. These men and women were constantly—but subtly—made out to be religious freaks: they preferred to study the Bible, listen to sermons, and closely examine their lives and their world for clues to God’s will. Like this is awkward! It then goes on to say that the term “Puritan” has come to be associated with cheerlessness and hypocritical morality.
When reading this curriculum you will find out, for the most part, that Christianity and biblical principles apparently had little or nothing to do with the foundation of our country. Yet if you were to do your own homework outside of a public school classroom, you would find out that Christian principles had everything to do with America’s foundation.
Let me ask you a question. If the separation of church and state that is so flippantly taught to our youth really existed, why then are Moses and the Ten Commandments on the top of your Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C.? Why is God written on buildings like the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, and on the Liberty Bell, to name just a few? Why are there scripture verses on the Washington Monument?
Somebody’s not telling the truth about our country’s heritage. Think of it this way: even if we decided as a country that we didn’t want God, morals, or biblical principles to govern us, that still doesn’t mean we need to lie to the people about where we came from and how this country started. The best way to find out the truth on the subject is to look it up for yourself. I would highly recommend www.wallbuilders.com or doing your own Google search.
Now that we’ve established that Christianity is under attack through the education system, you can be certain that all the values that go along with it are under attack as well—values like the traditional family and the sanctity of life. For instance, this is what is being taught to your children about abortion. The following excerpt is taken right out of the textbook, America’s Pathways to Present: “Roe vs. Wade also worked to reform the laws governing a woman’s right to choose an abortion instead of continuing an unwanted pregnancy.”
My understanding of education is to give people the FACTS and TRUTH regarding the entire issue and then let them decide their own path. I guess I would not be so frustrated except for the fact that there is no information given to the students about the extreme risks of getting an abortion, or the details of how an abortion is performed (I would venture to say that most pro-choice youth could not tell you the first thing about the procedure). They also don’t provide information on other options to abortion.
Not only are there no facts taught about abortion, but did you know getting or performing an abortion is against the law? According to the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, “…nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law…” See, no matter what you say, feel or believe, the law is the law, and upholding the law (justice) guards our liberty.
Which brings up another point; why aren’t they teaching the youth of this country its doctrine of law, the United States Constitution? It is simple; if they know the law and follow it, they can point out the errors and prevent perversion from entering this country. Take your job for example: when you go in for new employee orientation, you are expected to have read the handbook of the facility to understand the rules and regulations, and to understand how things operate.
When performing what is “expected of you,” you find that there are no problems, and you begin to work with the same mindset as others to help do your job efficiently. The problem begins when someone neglects his or her “duty,” and you then reference the handbook (law), and show the error. If that person decides not to comply, he or she is removed from the duty (or fired) for which they were hired. We see nothing but lawlessness in this nation, because the average citizen has no behavioral standard to refer to. How are they to know their “duty” or what is to be “expected of them” without guidelines?
There used to be something known as right and wrong in this country, but now what is being taught in our classrooms is the standard of “tolerance.” If you really look behind it, however, you can see how very intolerant they are. Kids all over this country are being taught to tolerate the homosexual lifestyle (no matter what their belief on the subject), every other religion, abortion, addiction (after all it’s only a disease), and almost every other immoral act. In most cases, they are told to tolerate everything except Christianity and its principles.
At one school where we performed recently, a teacher informed us that she will not allow any of her students to stand up and say that they feel homosexuality is wrong— either morally and physically. That sounds like complete INTOLERANCE towards Christianity to me! Isn’t it ironic that the very standard of Christianity is to keep people from destroying themselves, yet now it is becoming a hate crime to warn somebody about their self-destruction?
Let’s just say for a second that even if God doesn’t exist (like they keep telling the kids) and the Bible is just a storybook, our society was a lot better off when we were teaching the principles of the Bible to our kids. Back when we had the Ten Commandments, prayer and a moral standard in our schools, the majority of problems were minor: talking out of turn, chewing gum, and perhaps an occasional fight.
Now we have school shootings, babies having babies, the abuse of every drug known to mankind, illiterate youth graduating from high school, and so much more immorality. I would rather sacrifice all the technology and everything we are blessed with today to live back in the day when this country honored God and had a moral code of conduct. It’s time we get back on the old paths as it says in Jeremiah 6:16, “Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.”
As parents, teachers, and citizens, we must be concerned about drug abuse in the lives of the youth. You see it becoming more and more prevalent. But our biggest fear should be that drug dealers are no longer just on street corners; they are now sitting in doctors’ offices and CEO’s chairs. Mental health medications—like those for ADHD—are being overprescribed at alarming levels.
Too extreme you say? Well, have you ever heard of Teen Screen? Teen Screen is a questionnaire being used in schools all over the country to evaluate youth for a variety of mental illnesses, including depression and suicidal tendencies. This test is not only forced upon the youth; in some cases when parents have refused to allow their child to participate, they have been removed from the household because the parents were not looking out for the best interest of their children.
Here are a couple questions from this test:
Has there been a time when you felt you couldn’t do anything well or that you weren’t as good-looking or as smart as other people?
Have you often felt very nervous when you’ve had to do things in front of people?
Now, many of you answered “yes” to these questions, as do many of us. According to this test, however, we are all mentally ill. Many of the students who take the test receive a recommendation to be put on some kind of medication. David Shaffer, the man from Columbia University who invented the test, even said that the test has an 86 percent false-positive rate, which means that 86 percent of the time, kids are falsely diagnosed with some sort of mental disease. Some students even said that it seemed like the only kids that weren’t diagnosed with some sort of problem, were the kids who didn’t take the test. In some cases, parents have lost their children because they refused to medicate them.
Could it be that maybe the youth in this country need a little more parenting, discipline, structure, and love, a lot better nutrition, and a little less sugar? Maybe I’m just old-fashioned, but it seemed to work fine for my parents and grandparents.
If these drugs were actually working, there would be fewer and fewer problems in our schools. But in actuality, the problems keep getting worse and worse, especially for those who are on the medications. Did you know that schools get more funding when they have more students with emotional issues and staff-diagnosed learning disabilities? I fear our kids are becoming lab rats for the future. There is a great website that has provides a lot of good information on this issue. Check out www.edwatch.org.
Have you ever done any research for yourself to prove how antidepressant drugs like Celexa, Effexor, Prozac, and Paxil work? Did you know that many of the recent school shootings have been linked to suicidal tendencies because of these drugs? For more information on antidepressants and school shootings, read the article titled “The Dangers of Antidepressants.”
The FDA recently put the following black box warning on all psychiatric drugs given to kids:
Suicidality in Children and Adolescents. Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in short term studies in children and adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of [Insert established name] or any other antidepressant in a child or adolescent must balance this risk with the clinical need. Patients who are started on therapy should be observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. [Insert established name] is not approved for use in pediatric patients.
I sit here wondering how it is possible that this is being pushed through the schools. I guess the answer is very simple, as 1 Timothy 6:10 says: “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
America, there is no quick fix to these problems. However, we are not about just pointing our fingers at the problems but rather about giving people the answers. We could have taken each issue in this article—along with many other issues—and written pages and pages, but there isn’t enough room or time.
As I said before, the best place to start is to take a few hours and research everything you have just read. The best way to be useful in changing something is to know the problems for yourself and not just accept what someone else tells you.
My next piece of advice is this: if you have your children in a public school, I would do everything in my power to remove them from that setting and home school them instead. If this is not an option for you, then spend your extra time getting involved with the school system and working to get the truth and morality back in the classroom. Take the time to teach your child the truth about all these topics.
My last piece of advice is to raise your kids and conduct your lives according to God’s standard…otherwise everything else in life will be futile.
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls…
I think we can all agree that things are not the way they were 40 years ago in this country. There has been a huge moral decline, and we are seeing the fruit of it with the younger generation. We recently spoke at a youth group, and after I was done speaking, the kids in the room had so many questions. They had absolutely no foundation, no morals, and no standard before them.
Once they started to be educated regarding issues such as our Constitution, our God-given heritage, the laws of our land, etc., they now had a place to put their feet.
We as adults need to educate (in actions first) our youth as to the moral standard set before us or all hope is lost. Deuteronomy 4:9 says, “Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but teach them thy sons and thy sons’ sons…”
Read the analogy below:
One evening, a girl was talking to her grandmother about current events. She asked what she thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general. The following is the grandma’s response…
What would you think of a judge who overlooked all of the crimes against you and your family? He allows your family to be ransacked, your sisters to be raped, your goods to be stolen, and your father to be killed. On the day the criminals appear in court, they stand before the judge. After hearing all of their crimes committed against you and your family, you find to your amazement that the judge looks down upon them from his bench and pronounces judgment unto them in this fashion: “I’m having a pretty good day today, and because I am having a good day, I am going to overlook your offenses toward these people. You’re free to go.”
How would this make you feel? Indignant, to say the least. No, what makes a judge good is the fact that he upholds the Law. He executes judgment in such a manner that the criminals will never again have the opportunity to commit such heinous crimes against anyone’s family. So it is with the God of Heaven.
In Nahum 1:2-9, the goodness of God is revealed unto us, “God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.”
Martin Luther rightly said, “We want to avoid the punishment of sin; we even want to resist it and defend our sin. We shall succeed as well as the dog that bites into the spine of a porcupine.”

It seems that everyone knows what the problems are with this nation – Obama’s healthcare plan, the homosexual agenda, abortion being funded, and our rights are being taken away. People jump on the radio and talk, talk, talk, about policy and what “they” are doing, but they greatly err by forgetting to bring people back to our nation’s foundation.
Isaac Beall was a pastor during our founding fathers’ era. He preached to the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the Legislature in Vermont, using Proverbs 29:2 as his principle text. “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn.” Beall also mentions that not only must rulers be virtuous but so must the great body of the people because “a virtuous people cannot be enslaved.”
That’s right America! The only reason we would be enslaved is because we put ourselves there. We are not to sit idly by and expect the government we are supposed to keep in check to stay righteous. We all need to put our own homes in order by obeying Christ, and then hold our officials’ feet to the fire. This is the way to remain free.
“I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe . . . Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.”
I’m Bradlee Dean, the writer, producer, and director of My War. Thank you for taking an interest in the film documentary, My War, the cumulative work of my ministry and life since 1998.
It’s a project we decided to undertake after visiting over 330 high schools around the country, talking about social and cultural issues. We got to see first-hand the type of programs and education that our youth receive related to the situations they face.
Viewers have been extremely positive, wanting to know more about us and are happy to know that someone is speaking up. And of course there’s a few that might be angry and offended by the truths that I have spoken. In either case, I’m glad that you are here, because I want to answer as many questions for you as I possibly can.
What is behind My War? In some ways, it’s what you already know or feel, and may think that you have no way of combating. It might be what you see and think every time you drive by a public school, but are at a loss as to what you should say or do. Or maybe you are asking yourself if this is even happening in these United States of America?
It is the stirring restlessness and apprehension you might feel when you think about the things you and your posterity are being exposed to and how they are being educated, wondering if they will be able to sort out the truth for themselves. Maybe you are bothered by the danger of what they are receiving at such an impressionable age. Is your anger and frustration at these ever quieted or addressed?
Let me start by making an observation: for the past five decades, enormous and vastly broad reaching institutions and programs have been birthed for the supposed purpose of educating our posterity. In addition, they are there to do more than simply educate – they have appointed themselves ministers and administrators of programs designed to ‘serve’ the various problems kids deal with on a daily basis.
It has been deemed by these intellectuals that in order for the exhaustive overhaul of the human and spiritual condition to occur, one thing had to be done for sure in order for all of it to work – or so they think! They must repeat history by relentlessly, and might I add illegally and forcibly, removing God from our institutions and from all thinking – they say, we must be ‘Godless.’ God must be stripped from all of our understanding in order for them to make progress. The God of Heaven in Jesus’ name is their obstacle and one in which they will never overcome. How contrary to the path that our Founding Fathers paved for us.
Hmmm…sooo…What is the fruit of this godlessness? Statistics for teenagers in just about every category that affects their safety and wellbeing are progressively worse: pregnancy, venereal disease, crime, mental health, drug use, test scores, and the list goes on…
These destructions started taking place in our country in the 1960’s, not in 1776. The destructions that we are facing in this country are the fruit of our departure from Jesus Christ and our foundational teachings, not the other way around. Remember, truth does not need to be propped up, lies do. That is why there is continuous inundation of the air waves with godlessness.
They are making a desperate attempt to push their illegal and un-American agenda on We the People. I’m glad that I am not going to be a part of it…and my heart breaks for those that have given themselves in submission to it.
15 years ago, after many years of partaking in every indulgence known to mankind, I finally came to the end of what the godless life had to offer. In the end, my tragic realization was that there was nothing there beyond its inherent emptiness, a wasted past, and a clear view of how merciful God truly is. I prayed to God in Jesus’ name and He answered me by fire. He saved me from me and brought me into union with Him.
To my critics, you might observe, I was with you almost every step of the way up until 1995. I acted out what I was taught; I lived out the ends of your thinking. I cannot say that I loved your godless world, but I can say that it was all that I knew. As a matter of fact, I lived to highest standard of the lowest form of what was bestowed upon me. I lived a godless life in which the average heathen would kill for – sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, and a little fame.
An ironic twist to my life story is that the godless world that was created for me and that you so much wanted me to have is what led me to making My War! To the godless I give you My War as the product of your consorted efforts. You lose! Game over. God my Father does rule in Jesus Christ.
Now that I have seen the light, it is no longer acceptable to ‘stay seated.’ He has now set me on a course to serve Him and demonstrate that union unto mankind in power. It has been with the eyes of His Spirit that I have been able to see where the problems really were stemming from in our culture, and in particular our educational institutions and their bastions of humanistic drivel.
Folks, if you’re thinking all of the children that are being raised up in a godless society are going to come to a different conclusion than I did, let me tell you, you’re dead wrong.
There is a strong underlying movement coming forward, because God is moving in this country, and around the world, precisely in response to the attack of godlessness that has attempted to take a hold of our churches, our schools, our government, and our once honorable institutions. Indeed, gainsayers, critics, liars and corrupted individuals might do well to prepare for an awakening of the Church of Christ.
Of course there will be some that deny the reality of what is going on in our schools, but I was there and I know what I saw and heard. Let me tell you this, regardless of all of the spin, selective reporting, and cover up, the young people are not jumping up and down about being deprived of the knowledge of who they are, where it is that they came from, and losing the freedoms and prosperity that we all partake in. Not only are the immoral destroying their own future, but they are destroying the young’s as well, and they are adamantly set against reaping what the unrighteous are sowing.
Some are hoping that the younger generations will mindlessly take on their philosophies, yet I see that it’s not my God that they are turning against. The young aren’t blaming the God that they want them to blame – the God that offers life, liberty and lasting freedom through Jesus Christ. The degenerate are simply being rejected for the poison that they have interjected into the veins of society.
I say to my critics one more thing: We know that without a shadow of a doubt, the God that you are at war with, that you have attempted to strip from the culture, is not, nor ever has been a part of any problem that we are dealing with today – just the opposite. You have gotten away with blaming the God-fearing people of this land and others, and some have even conceded to you on many points. They stepped back when they should have went forward. These even internalized the condemnation, adjusted their thinking in agreement with you on so many points, and even repackaged their faith to be more palatable to you when they should have simply kept their feet upon the Rock of their salvation.
America, the only light that our posterity has, is the truth that has been given to them. And we can see clearly what happens when they are robbed of that light and truth. My War is about giving the light and truth back unto them.
While the ultimate message of My War is Jesus Christ, My War is about calling out the obvious fundamental problems with everything I see our posterity being lied to about.
America, you are not going to win this war by turning your back to the will of these illegal agendas which are aimed at demoralizing your children. You need to stand up and charge at them lawfully that are perpetrating these destructive agendas.
God Bless!
