J.B. Hixson: Headlines Prove Increasing Cultural Chaos In U.S. · Worldview Matters With David Fiorazo

0:00
Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
0:10
defending biblical Christianity.
0:13
No topic off limits.
0:16
And now, here's your host, David Fierrozzo.
0:20
Friends, family and Christ, God bless you.
0:22
Thank you for tuning in and for sharing the podcast.
0:25
JB Hixson is my guest today.
0:26
We'll get to him in a minute, the website, not by works.org.
0:30
But we are in the two times a year.
0:33
We do a little fundraiser to keep World View Matters going.
0:35
We're a nonprofit at Freedom Project Media.
0:38
And we're excited to announce an opportunity
0:40
we have coming up to expand by getting
0:43
on Pioneer Network, BeckTV, and God's Learning Channel,
0:47
God's Learning Channel TV Network.
0:49
So if you have already donated World View Matters,
0:52
thank you, thank you, thank you.
0:53
But if you have not, and you're considering
0:56
making a financial donation, that'll help support
0:59
not only production costs for the next six months,
1:02
but will also help us get on these other venues.
1:04
Now, for those who are able to contribute
1:06
a one-time gift of $200 or a recurring monthly,
1:10
like $25 a month, we will send you free, a signed copy
1:14
of either Alex Newman's brand new book
1:17
and documenting our children to death,
1:19
or a copy of my book, Assault on the Image of God,
1:22
and obviously for free.
1:24
And also, first time donors get a mug,
1:27
just don't put it in the micro, or the dishwasher,
1:29
we've learned that.
1:30
It says, keep speaking the truth about things that matter
1:33
and on one side, WorldView Matters.
1:36
So WorldViewMatters.tv, if you wanna make a donation,
1:39
WorldViewMatters.tv, thank you very much.
1:41
JB Hicks and notbyworks.org, we gotta jump right in.
1:44
We're doing a headline show today.
1:46
We're gonna talk about things that are happening
1:48
in our country and around the world,
1:50
from a biblical perspective, always, right?
1:53
WorldView Matters.
1:55
So how do we see these events?
1:57
How do we see things that are going on?
1:59
And how do we respond as believers in Christ
2:01
in the church?
2:02
JB, good to see you again, brother.
2:04
Hey David, always a pleasure.
2:05
Thanks for having me on.
2:06
Well, thank you for your time.
2:08
You are so busy, you're making me,
2:10
I just looking at your events and your schedule
2:11
makes me tired.
2:13
But where are you gonna be?
2:15
You've got conferences coming up, so tell us about it.
2:18
Yeah, so folks can check out the events page
2:21
at notbyworks.org, but this coming weekend,
2:24
I'll be with Andy Woods in Tulsa
2:26
at the annual Mid-America Prophecy Conference.
2:29
There's several other speakers.
2:30
It's always a great lineup.
2:32
It's May 24th and 25th.
2:35
So really encourage folks to come on out
2:37
and be with us for that conference.
2:40
Be great to see you and stop by our booth.
2:43
Say hello to Wendy, she'll be with me.
2:45
But yeah, it's a busy time.
2:46
We leave right after Tulsa
2:48
and we head to actually Hawaii,
2:50
suffering for the Lord there at a Calvary Chapel there
2:53
in Honolulu.
2:54
We there for a couple of weeks.
2:55
We're gonna try to connect with JD Farag while we're there.
2:59
We're planning to go to his Thursday night prophecy meeting
3:02
and just really one of my bucket list items
3:06
is to get to sit under his teaching for an evening.
3:08
So we'll be there in June and we get back
3:11
and we head to the Prophecy Watchers Conference
3:14
in Colorado Springs, which is right in our backyard.
3:16
Yes.
3:17
You know, down the road, we've got boy, South Carolina,
3:20
Indiana, Washington, DC, Missouri,
3:23
Branson, Missouri after that.
3:25
So yeah, full slate for the rest of the year.
3:27
Man, and I really want to try to make this prophecy watchers.
3:32
I have a friend that lives in Colorado Springs.
3:34
I know you live out there as well.
3:36
When I had Mondo Gonzales on, we were talking about it.
3:39
I really wish, I don't know if things will work out,
3:42
I would love to be there.
3:43
So JB, a lot's going on in the world
3:45
and we always like to encourage believers
3:47
to be informed, to pay attention,
3:50
but not be overwhelmed as it says in Romans 12, 21.
3:53
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
3:57
So before we get into the headlines and some stories
4:00
that it's disappointing to have to talk about some of these,
4:03
just share some encouragement with our viewers.
4:06
Yeah, so I think as we get closer and closer
4:09
to the lead up to the rapture,
4:10
we know things are going to get worse and worse.
4:12
So it starts there, if you believe the Bible,
4:14
as you know, the world view matters, right?
4:16
And we believe the Bible is the only standard
4:18
for our beliefs, attitudes and practices.
4:20
Well, you ought to just lean into the fact
4:22
that this world is under the sway of the wicked one.
4:25
It is Satan's playground.
4:26
He is absolutely wreaking havoc
4:29
and preparing the way, setting the stage
4:31
for the coming beast system.
4:33
But that should not deter us from our task at hand.
4:35
It should not discourage us.
4:37
It should not, certainly should not scare us
4:39
because we know who wins in the end
4:41
and greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world.
4:43
So I would encourage folks not to slow down,
4:47
not to give up or give in.
4:48
I wrote an article recently.
4:50
You can find it on the devotionals page
4:51
of our website and app that talks about abnormalcy bias
4:56
and how when we, those of us that love prophecy
4:59
get so plugged into prophecy,
5:01
we just, we forget that we still have a job to do.
5:04
God has us here for a reason.
5:06
We want to be light in this dark world
5:07
and we want to share the gospel
5:09
and provide for our families.
5:10
And so don't be discouraged folks.
5:13
A better day is coming and sure seems like it won't be long.
5:17
Amen, brother.
5:17
Amen.
5:18
And one of the things when you're talking
5:19
about the biblical worldview is to be pro-Israel.
5:23
And what we've seen in recent days, months and years
5:27
has been very disappointing,
5:29
particularly what's happening on US soil
5:32
on our own college campuses.
5:35
They become like seed bends for anti-Semitism
5:39
and we'll start with this article over the daily wire.
5:43
Terror group Hezbollah praises protests on college campuses
5:48
and they say it's causing Biden to cave on Israel.
5:53
So JB, your thoughts on this?
5:56
Yeah, I tell you what, I had Dr. Nathan Jones on recently
5:59
and we talked about this growing anti-Semitism
6:03
and particularly troubling is the silence
6:06
of the church on all this.
6:08
I'm so thankful that you're willing to speak out and others.
6:11
But by and large, it's nothing but crickets
6:13
in pulpits across America.
6:15
And this is a very troubling sign of the times,
6:19
I think, that first Timothy four talks about how
6:22
in the latter days some will depart from the faith.
6:24
And so we see it happening before our eyes.
6:27
But this is the issue of our day
6:29
and we need more folks to speak up about it.
6:32
It's I can see a lot of ways this can go
6:35
in terms of setting the stage for the end times.
6:39
We know the time is going to come when Israel's
6:40
going to be standing alone.
6:43
That's pretty clear from Ezekiel 38 and 39.
6:46
And this sentiment is growing.
6:50
And now as far as the campus riots,
6:53
I believe a lot of that is provocateur.
6:56
We actually have evidence of that.
6:58
We know it's funded particularly by the far left
7:01
but not exclusively.
7:03
But yeah, the FBI and CIA have long been involved
7:06
in sending in agent provocateurs that are on their payroll
7:10
to kind of drum up this craziness.
7:13
And you know, we've seen alternative media
7:14
out there interviewing some of these protesters
7:17
and they don't have a clue what they're protesting.
7:20
They're just like, I don't know what I'm doing.
7:22
Hand me another brick, you know, hand me another bottle.
7:24
I mean, just, you know, so that's just a sign
7:27
that this is not about what it's about.
7:29
I mean, there are obviously people on campus
7:31
that do hate Israel and but it's part of a broad agenda
7:36
to turn the world against this.
7:38
The issue is never the issue.
7:40
The issue is the revolution.
7:42
And yeah, JB is not exaggerating friends.
7:44
If you have not seen some of those videos
7:46
with these kids, I'll call them kids because we're older,
7:51
are being interviewed, they don't know.
7:53
Some of them do not honestly know why they're there.
7:55
But they know what they've gotten the talking points.
7:57
They've gotten the marching orders
7:59
and they know what they're supposed to do.
8:00
Be a loyal social justice activists for the left
8:03
and the Democrat party and the globalists.
8:06
But anyway, JB, it's not unlike,
8:09
it's not to the level of violence,
8:11
but it's not unlike what happened in 2020
8:16
with the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation
8:19
wreaking havoc on American cities
8:21
and the whole country throughout the country
8:22
for at least that whole summer
8:25
and billions of dollars in damage.
8:28
These protests have not turned violent yet,
8:31
but it's interesting to see,
8:33
like you said, very well organized.
8:35
When you have matching tents lined up
8:38
on these college cafes, you're going,
8:40
okay, does anyone think these are organic
8:42
and these are kids that just,
8:43
hey, I believe in the cause,
8:45
I'm gonna spontaneously grab my tent.
8:48
Yeah, somebody posted on X yesterday
8:50
and sent it to me some drone footage
8:54
that someone caught totally by accident,
8:55
they were playing with their drone
8:57
and they caught in this sort of secluded part of a campus.
9:00
They were practicing the protest
9:02
where they were all lined up
9:04
and someone was coaching them
9:05
and they said, no, when the police come,
9:07
you just kind of push forward
9:08
and it was totally rigged.
9:11
And so, yeah, the whole that summer
9:14
that you talked about when they would ship in pallets
9:17
of bricks and put them in convenient locations
9:20
and people would go by and grab a brick.
9:22
I mean, yeah, that's what peaceful protests look like
9:25
from the left, you know,
9:27
that's, they redefine everything,
9:29
including peaceful protests.
9:31
And what angers me is the media never calls that out.
9:33
The media rarely will ever say,
9:36
well, you know, I respect their First Amendment rights
9:39
to protest, but they shouldn't be doing thus and so,
9:42
you very rarely hear that.
9:44
Anything goes, whatever meets their,
9:46
well, what's the word, the means,
9:48
meet the end or something like that?
9:50
Yeah, yeah.
9:51
Yeah. And meanwhile, when, when,
9:53
when we simply verbally point out obvious inconsistencies
9:57
in things like an election or whatever,
9:59
well, then they ban you or cut you off a YouTube
10:01
or if, you know, if you're a former president,
10:03
they arrest you just simply because you state the obvious.
10:06
You know, that's, that's the inconsistency
10:08
and hypocrisy of it.
10:09
Well, that's interesting, JB,
10:10
that that's the next thing I wanted to talk to you about.
10:12
How many charges have been filed against Trump so far?
10:15
So Jim Jordan and others have been going to bat
10:19
for Trump pointing to the projection of interference
10:24
being conducted by the Democrat Party.
10:26
And I guess they're suing, I'm not sure,
10:29
I'm guessing they're suing Jordan there,
10:30
coming after him now.
10:32
But if we go back to what this article talks about,
10:35
Obama's occupation of Afghanistan
10:38
and what was discovered in Biden's garage,
10:41
what was on Hillary Clinton's server
10:44
that 33,000 emails were destroyed.
10:47
Evidence like that.
10:49
And then you talk about what they've been able to find
10:52
when they went through the FBI searched,
10:54
Mar-a-Lago seized 102 documents from President Trump.
10:58
He was charged with 37 felonies just last year alone
11:03
and then three more felony charges were added.
11:06
And you can go on 90 felony charges recently
11:10
for allegedly falsifying business records.
11:12
So they're trying to come after him
11:14
using whatever means possible.
11:16
They don't have oftentimes,
11:17
they don't have the evidence or anything to back it up.
11:20
But just to maybe clog the system
11:22
and keep him busy with lawsuits,
11:23
your thoughts on this law fair?
11:25
Oh yeah, it's unbelievable.
11:27
Now look, we've known each other long enough
11:29
and our audiences have a lot of crossover
11:31
because you've been on our show
11:32
and I've been on your shows.
11:34
So people know my feelings about Trump,
11:36
but that doesn't matter.
11:38
What they're doing to him is unconscionable.
11:40
It's the stuff of banana republics
11:44
and it's completely inappropriate.
11:46
Who knows why?
11:47
I mean, I still believe a lot of it is political theater,
11:50
but the selective enforcement of laws,
11:54
the selective moral outrage,
11:56
when you hear these Democrats stand up
11:58
or these left-wing media personalities
12:01
give their rants about Trump,
12:03
you just wanna throw things at the TV
12:05
and go, well, what about your guys?
12:07
I mean, they've done that and worse
12:10
and yet nobody ever seems to care.
12:13
I mean, this is not the first time
12:15
that presidents have done something a little bit questionable
12:19
and a lot of it's just piling on and making stuff up.
12:22
But look, we know he's not the most moral guy,
12:26
but as to the substance of the matter,
12:30
questioning the 2020 election,
12:32
there can be no doubt and evidence shows it
12:35
that there was a funny business.
12:37
And if we didn't have a rigged judicial system
12:41
and even the Supreme Court kind of winked and nodded
12:43
and said nothing to see here move along,
12:45
if it weren't for that in any objective setting,
12:49
it would be pretty clear that this was something
12:51
that needed to be looked into
12:52
and to extrapolate from his comments
12:55
that somehow he incited an insurrection
12:57
is just laughable.
13:00
And by the way, David, people in other countries,
13:02
even world leaders are looking at this
13:05
and they're laughing and it's embarrassing for America
13:09
because this has, it's a false narrative,
13:13
a creative, creative narrative of some insurrection
13:17
that is just simply not there.
13:19
So I hope I don't get you banned off of wherever
13:21
you're posting this, but anyway, that's all it.
13:23
No, but they've got the power of the media.
13:25
They've got the left owns the corporation's Hollywood.
13:28
They're the messaging, social media, right?
13:31
They can ban us, Christians, conservatives,
13:34
and that's happened.
13:36
But let's transition now briefly
13:38
into the deep fake dangers.
13:41
This is over at CBN News.
13:43
You could get manipulated by AI
13:46
during the 2024 election.
13:47
Let's go back to just days before the New Hampshire's
13:52
January primary, 20,000 voters received a call,
13:56
now we're talking about robocalls,
13:58
using an AI-generated voice of President Biden,
14:02
attempting to discourage them from showing up
14:04
at the polls, quote, voting this Tuesday
14:07
only enables Republicans in their quest
14:09
to elect Donald Trump again, the AI-generated Biden said.
14:14
So officials detected the deep fake,
14:17
but it got out to 20,000 people, voters,
14:19
and they alerted the public, but experts are warning JB
14:22
that these deceptions will only get more sophisticated
14:26
and become more available.
14:27
So, and they could forge photos, doctored videos,
14:31
not just robocalls.
14:32
So you're, we're days of deception, we're in them,
14:35
your quick thoughts.
14:36
Oh, yeah, no question.
14:37
Yeah, I talk about this extensively in my new book,
14:39
Rise of the Global Technocracy,
14:41
their Spirit of the False Prophet.
14:42
We've also had technologists shane Boothon
14:45
to talk about this.
14:46
It's getting worse than that, even.
14:48
Now, there's actual software you can download
14:51
that you put in the text and you put in a picture
14:53
of the person, the AI will create a video image
14:57
of that person talking using its language.
14:59
You give it a sample and it will extrapolate
15:01
into their language.
15:02
And you cannot tell this, whether this is real or fake.
15:05
So it's, we're, we weigh left the reservation
15:08
from the old days of Photoshop and manipulated video
15:12
and fake plagiarized text.
15:15
It is the actual creation of fake information now
15:19
that is indistinguishable from reality.
15:22
And by the way, the, the global elite know this.
15:25
So you've all know what Harari has bragged about
15:28
how AI is going to impact the 2024 election specific.
15:33
And I give those quotes in some recent conferences
15:36
that we've done.
15:36
So I tell you what, this is why John 4.1 is so critical.
15:40
We've got to test the spirits
15:42
because the closer we get to the return of the Lord,
15:44
deception is going to get worse and worse.
15:46
Amen, brother, test all things friends.
15:48
We've got to take a brief pause.
15:50
When we come back with JB Hickson,
15:52
we're going to talk about how the majority of Americans
15:55
disapprove of Disney's LGBT agenda.
15:59
And we're going to talk about the fact
16:01
that the United Methodist Church is in the news again
16:04
for embracing sin.
16:06
They're not in the news for a good reason.
16:08
But we're going to talk about that
16:09
because that's the church coming up next
16:11
and World View Matters.
16:12
Today's show is brought to you by Harbinger's Daily.

16:48
Back to Dr. N. Pastor, JB Hickson.
16:51
Again, the website notbyworks.org.
16:55
We are saved by faith in Jesus and Christ alone.
17:00
So JB, polls, polls, polls, surveys, surveys, all the information.
17:07
I don't know what to believe anymore,
17:08
but there's some that are interesting, including this one.
17:12
And while I'll preface this by saying,
17:13
sometimes it doesn't matter what the majority believes
17:15
because the left is going to do, and the demonically inspired
17:19
left and Marxists are going to do what those minions do.
17:23
But in this article over at The Washington Stand,
17:27
majority of Americans disapprove of Disney's LGBT agenda.
17:32
And they've had an agenda for decades.
17:35
And it's a big brand for children's entertainment.
17:38
Some Christians still, you don't get it,
17:41
but their popularity has been cratering
17:44
because they've been pushing pride and other things.
17:48
And according to the latest Rasmussen reports,
17:51
National Survey, 71% of American adults agree.
17:55
Disney should return, right, it's going to happen.
17:59
They should return to wholesome, programming,
18:02
and allow parents to decide when their children
18:05
are taught about sexuality.
18:07
This goes to the public school system as well.
18:09
But so 71% of American adults, JB.
18:13
Yeah, you're right.
18:15
Polls are sometimes they're manipulated,
18:17
but obviously sometimes they're legitimate.
18:19
And I think in this case, it does indicate something
18:22
that I've noticed in general over the last two or three years,
18:25
really since the election and COVID and all of that,
18:28
there is a general awakening that I see happening,
18:33
both on the part of unbelievers and believers.
18:35
Now, let me hasten to add,
18:37
I'm not talking about a global spiritual revival
18:40
the way NAR and the Dominion theologists
18:43
and people like that suggest.
18:44
There's not going to be an end time global revival
18:46
until Jesus Christ comes back to make all things new.
18:49
So I'm not talking about some type of global revival,
18:52
but I am talking about an awakening in the sense
18:54
that the Luciferian elite and the powers
18:58
that be have overplayed their hand.
19:00
And people are starting to see it for what it is.
19:03
The lies have become so blatant that people,
19:07
even if they're not believers, are going,
19:08
wait a minute, something doesn't make sense here.
19:11
And I think that gives us a great opportunity, David,
19:13
to share the gospel.
19:14
That's one of the things that we've been really doing
19:17
and seeing happen with my last three spirit books,
19:20
Spirit of the Antichrist one and two
19:21
and Spirit of the False Prophet,
19:23
is that it's not just believers that are the audience,
19:26
but unbelievers, and as they begin to connect the dots
19:29
biblically to how this is all part of a broader agenda
19:32
in the cosmic battle between good and evil,
19:34
then it drives them to the cross
19:36
and hopefully to Christ is their only hope for salvation.
19:39
But yeah, I think that's the poll doesn't surprise me one bit
19:42
because people have had enough.
19:44
They've had enough of this evil wickedness
19:46
and deplorable perversion.
19:48
And they're ready for, you know,
19:50
they'll go to the Mayberry days, you know?
19:53
You know, and I agree with you,
19:55
people are tired of it because let's face it next month,
19:58
we know what's gonna happen all through the corporations
20:01
and Hollywood and the government and everything else
20:04
on the university and the college education system.
20:07
It's pride month in June, but it's not just a month,
20:11
it's queer all year, let's just call it what is queer all year.
20:14
So yeah, people are finally fed up and they're pushing back
20:17
and I think they've overplayed their hand a little bit.
20:19
But JB, that'll bring us to the political aspect
20:22
of this poll over Rasmussen because they say,
20:25
it's not surprising, but the majority of Disney's support
20:29
comes from Democrats.
20:31
Again, not surprising.
20:32
Almost two thirds of Democrats hold a favorable view
20:35
of Disney and only 33% of Republicans,
20:39
36% of independent voters approve of Disney's sexual promotion
20:46
of all these things.
20:47
So it's not surprising.
20:49
No, yeah, I mean, we've talked a lot about the right left paradigm
20:52
and even though ultimately it's a tool of the Hagellian dialectic
20:56
and it's a false left right paradigm,
20:58
there absolutely is a fundamental difference in the platforms
21:02
and the philosophies and the world views
21:04
of the left and the right.
21:05
So there really is a left and a right viewpoint.
21:08
No, ultimately I don't think the answer is going to be
21:11
at the ballot box or I don't think it's going to be something
21:14
that we can turn around politically.
21:16
But yeah, it would be surprising if it weren't that way.
21:20
Of course, more liberals are going to be in favor
21:24
of this stuff than conservatives.
21:26
That should be obvious.
21:28
Yeah, thanks for putting it that way too.
21:30
I agree with you on the left right paradigm
21:32
and I also agree that the world views,
21:34
you can see the platforms, they're contrasting
21:37
on so many big, big issues.
21:39
But let's go on to the church now
21:41
because this is one of the battles we have.
21:42
A lot of people, capacitors I should say,
21:46
in the pulpits are not addressing these issues,
21:49
whether it's Bible prophecy or life in the womb
21:51
or they call these things political issues.
21:54
Well, yeah, children are being affected by this nationwide
21:57
and if you love your neighbor, your neighbor next door,
22:00
if they're in the public school system,
22:01
they are being affected by these demonic ideologies.
22:04
But let's go over to what they're doing
22:06
in the Methodist Church, JB.
22:08
And I know you have some feelings on this.
22:10
The article over at Harbinger's Daily,
22:11
did God change his mind?
22:13
United Methodist Church chooses to embrace and welcome sin.
22:18
So they voted early May to change its bylaws
22:21
called the Book of Discipline,
22:23
repealing its long standing ban on same sex marriages
22:27
by its clergy or in its churches.
22:31
So homosexuals can perform ceremonies,
22:35
homosexual unions, now we cannot call it marriage,
22:38
not the biblical marriage, not natural marriage,
22:41
but we can call it a union.
22:42
JB, you're a pastor, you take the pulpit,
22:44
you've talked on marriage and all these issues
22:46
of sexuality, the Methodist Church,
22:49
not surprising, but your thoughts.
22:51
Yeah, this one kind of strikes a chord with me
22:54
because as a young pastor,
22:56
25 years old in my first full time church,
22:58
right out of seminary with Wendy,
23:00
we were expecting our first child.
23:02
I took the full time position at an American Baptist Church,
23:05
USA, which at the time,
23:07
they were really going through this same split
23:10
and they had just had a big conference in Minneapolis
23:12
called the reimagining conference
23:14
in which they were promoting gay stuff,
23:17
promoting blasphemous teachings,
23:20
denigrating the cross, those types of things.
23:22
And the church, the leadership team that actually called me,
23:28
really, they knew that I was from Dallas Seminer,
23:30
that I was conservative and they had had enough
23:32
and they were ready to bring in a pastor
23:33
that could help kind of lead them out of that denomination.
23:37
And in fact, we did, six months after I got there,
23:40
we got the church to vote to leave the denomination.
23:45
And it was not an easy battle
23:46
because that church had been around for 150 years.
23:50
There had been more pastors of that church
23:52
than there have been presidents of the United States.
23:55
I was the first non-ABC pastor to be a part of it.
23:59
You know, in the fact that the church actually predates
24:01
the formation of the ABC denomination.
24:04
So yeah, that was 30 years ago, David, I'll over 30 years.
24:08
And so this is nothing new.
24:11
We're going to see evil get worse and worse
24:13
and people depart from traditional viewpoints.
24:16
But the fact of the matter is God's Word never changes.
24:20
God's Word is the rock on which we stand.
24:23
And the same thing we're seeing in the church
24:26
and in evangelicalism at large
24:28
is what we're seeing in the United States
24:31
with the activist judges and those who claim
24:33
that the Constitution is a living breathing document
24:37
that needs to change with the times.
24:39
People are doing the same thing with the Bible
24:42
and saying, oh, it's time for us to get with the times.
24:45
And by the way, the technical term
24:47
for that type of hermeneutic,
24:48
that type of Bible study approach to the Bible
24:51
is called redemptive movement hermeneutic
24:53
that what was good in the first century,
24:56
well, they didn't know any better.
24:57
So now we're a lot smarter now.
24:59
So now it's okay to kill your baby in the womb.
25:01
We're it's okay to marry someone of the same sex
25:04
because we've gotten so much smarter than God as time goes on.
25:07
So yeah, it's sad to see.
25:10
And I think we need to pray for,
25:11
there are a lot of conservative traditional Methodists
25:15
who are up there in age who they're saddened to see this go.
25:18
Now, obviously we have doctrinal differences
25:21
that go beyond these type of issues
25:23
when it comes to the essence of salvation
25:25
and eternal security.
25:27
But still, these are good people that love the Lord,
25:29
that they're watching their denomination completely,
25:34
just be abolished, it's sad.
25:37
You're right.
25:38
You're always right, I'm kidding.
25:41
So we've got two minutes left, JB.
25:42
And I just wanna, one quote from the article,
25:45
some UMC churches have tried to remain neutral
25:48
but neutrality is a fallacy.
25:51
There is no uncommitted zone here, no gray area.
25:54
So I've got, you just said,
25:56
you're either with me or against me, right?
25:57
Yes.
25:58
Yes, I've got four headlines here.
26:00
Many more we're not gonna get to,
26:02
but I want you to pick the last one.
26:04
First, all GOP senators oppose who, WHO,
26:08
the World Health Organization's tyrannical pandemic treaty.
26:12
Number two, the Democrat Party's anti-semitism went big
26:16
with Barack Obama.
26:17
And that's over at the Federalist.
26:18
I'd encourage you to read that either way, friends.
26:20
Number three, Billy Graham Statue scheduled to be unveiled.
26:24
That was actually last week.
26:26
Great honor, unveiled at the US Capitol.
26:28
And number four about persecution.
26:30
Are you prepared, and this is over at the Washington stand,
26:34
are you prepared to hold fast your decision to follow Christ?
26:38
So a minute left, JB, to touch on any one of these.
26:41
Let's take that last one there
26:42
because I think perseverance is gonna be critical.
26:46
The writer of Hebrews talks to the first century,
26:49
Jewish Christians about perseverance at a time
26:51
when they were facing increasing persecution from Rome.
26:55
Thankfully, our eternal destiny is not contingent upon us
26:58
being able to hold on to Christ,
26:59
even if we waver in our faith,
27:03
Jesus promises secure, He promised us eternal life.
27:06
But don't you wanna hear those words well done,
27:08
good and faithful servant?
27:09
And so, now more than ever,
27:11
we need to steal ourselves to walk by faith, not by sight,
27:15
and when the time comes, we need to boldly say,
27:17
Jesus is my Lord, unashamedly.
27:20
Amen, thank you, brother.
27:21
And appreciate your time.
27:23
We could have done like two hours, like I said,
27:25
I think in an email.
27:27
I don't know if I said two hours or three hours
27:28
on all the headlines, but I think we picked the right ones
27:31
to give people a balance from Israel
27:33
to anti-semitism, to politics, to the church and compromise.
27:38
So thank you, you guys wanna keep up with JB?
27:41
He's probably coming to your areas,
27:43
traveling so much this year.
27:44
So go to his website, notbyworks.org,
27:46
look at events, and find out where he's at,
27:49
and check out his books as well, doing very well
27:52
on Amazon, but you can go notbyworksput.org.
27:55
Brother, thank you, again, we'll talk soon.
27:58
Hi, Pleasure.
27:59
All right, guys, God bless you, and as always,
28:01
just keep speaking the truth about things that matter.
