Speaker 2: The Cal Thomas Commentary is brought to you by Values
0:06
Through Media. Now here's syndicated columnist Cal Thomas.
0:10
Speaker 3: If you think socialism is the preferred economic and political
0:13
view of a minority, a new Gallup poll shows it's
0:16
growing in favor. More than 4 in 10 Americans have
0:19
a positive view of socialism for the first time since
0:22
Gallup began polling on the issue 16 years ago. That's
0:25
up from 39% of adults surveyed last year. Capitalism, free enterprise,
0:31
and especially big business are viewed less positively than they
0:34
once were. Democrats and younger people, but also a growing
0:38
number of independents, are embracing socialism, according to the poll.
0:42
Why is socialism gaining in popularity in America? First, we
0:45
no longer teach the superiority of capitalism in public schools
0:49
and most universities. Second, the media rarely report on socialism,
0:54
at least not its negative effects on people and nations.
0:56
With the exception of Fox News, I've not seen many
0:59
interviewed who have lived under socialism and its evil twin communism.
1:03
Those who have spoken out warn Americans we won't like
1:07
socialism if we choose it. I'm Kel Thomas.

Speaker 4: Imagine getting this kind of news. Karen Collins was in
1:35
her 20s. She was newly married, and then her husband Michael...
1:38
was diagnosed with stage four cancer.
1:42
Speaker 5: He told me and I just cried because I didn't
1:44
really know what the plan was.
1:47
Speaker 4: There was another fear to the medical bills. And thankfully,
1:51
they were members of MediShare and MediShare came through for
1:54
them and not just financially.
1:56
Speaker 6: But they called and they said, hey, we know you're
1:58
going through treatment. We just wanted to call and pray
2:00
for you. And it rocked my world. And every time
2:03
they called, it was like, how can we pray for
2:04
you right now? How are you doing today?
2:06
Speaker 7: MediShare was a blessing to us because they just made
2:09
it so easy.
2:10
Speaker 4: Yes, MediShare can save you a lot of money. But
2:14
as Karen and Michael discovered, it's also about knowing you're
2:16
not going through life's hardest moments alone.
2:20
Speaker 8: Call now.
2:21
Speaker 4: See why so many people have made the switch to MediShare.
2:23
Here's the number.
2:24
Speaker 8: It's 855-90-BIBLE. That's 855-90-BIBLE. 855-90-BIBLE. Morning, good morning, good morning.
2:36
Speaker 1: Welcome, welcome, welcome.
2:37
Speaker 9: It's time now for a community connection right here on K1,
2:40
the one you trust. And we have a glow in
2:43
the studio.
2:44
Speaker 8: This is great. And we have Deborah.
2:47
Speaker 9: We have Marty, who is over there in the corner.
2:50
Speaker 7: Say hi.
2:51
Speaker 8: There you go. Also, we have Dolores and we have Vicki.
2:55
How are we doing today, ladies?
2:57
Speaker 7: We're doing great.
2:58
Speaker 8: Well, you're all aglow.
2:59
Speaker 10: Yeah.
3:00
Speaker 8: So what's happening? What do we have coming up?
3:03
Speaker 7: What we have coming up is Love in Action on
3:06
October the 10th between 1 and 3 at the Unity
3:09
Square in Bartlesville. We're going to have music. We're going
3:12
to have food. We're just going to have a good
3:16
time of fellowship, and we're going to be praying for Israel.
3:20
Speaker 8: Got the flags. Everybody's got one here today. That's right.
3:22
Speaker 7: And just a little bit about that is Marty's going
3:29
to talk a little bit about the Love in Action program.
3:32
Speaker 8: Okay, let's go ahead and get the camera.
3:34
Speaker 7: On Martin here. Can you see it?
3:37
Speaker 8: Yeah, we do now.
3:38
Speaker 10: There we go.
3:40
Speaker 7: So, this is a little bit like March for Jesus.
3:46
Speaker 11: The churches, we're trying to get the churches to come
3:48
together so that they can tell what they have, the
3:53
programs that they have. And so everyone knows what is
3:59
available in Bartlesville. And It's really about fellowshipping with other Christians,
4:06
which is really good for us, you know, to just
4:09
share the love.
4:11
Speaker 8: It is. It truly is.
4:13
Speaker 9: It's a little harder to do than one might think
4:16
because of conflicting schedules and everything.
4:19
Speaker 8: That's right.
4:20
Speaker 11: This is from 1 to 3, and the improvement from
4:25
our flyer says free hamburgers.
4:27
Speaker 10: We're actually having... Pulled pork.
4:30
Speaker 8: Oh, pulled pork. Okay. There you go.
4:32
Speaker 7: That ought to get you to come, right?
4:33
Speaker 2: There you go.
4:34
Speaker 8: Barbecue worked for me, man. It's secret sauce, you know.
4:37
Speaker 11: Yeah.
4:38
Speaker 10: And cookies.
4:40
Speaker 8: Oh, you've got to have a cookie.
4:42
Speaker 12: Oh, man.
4:42
Speaker 8: This is great.
4:43
Speaker 9: Tell us a little bit about it, Glo. If I
4:45
can get Darlis to.
4:48
Speaker 8: Talk a little bit about it. You did so well
4:50
last year on this.
4:52
Speaker 5: Glo is an international organization that's in like 170 countries.
4:57
Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
4:59
Speaker 5: But our emphasis is local, getting together as a community
5:06
in our communities. There are different functionings, different groups. Everybody
5:12
doesn't have the same vision, but whatever that community needs.
5:16
Some communities do more supporting their police and their fire
5:22
and that sort of thing. So that's sort of their emphasis,
5:25
that and prayer. But all of them are prayer groups.
5:28
and the motivation of the Spirit flowing. So we want
5:31
the presence of the Lord and the Spirit of the
5:34
Lord flowing in our communities.
5:37
Speaker 8: Well, there you go. You can't get much better than that.
5:40
Speaker 7: Ms.
5:40
Speaker 8: Vicki, tell us a little bit about your involvement with
5:44
the GLOBE.
5:44
Speaker 10: I'm new.
5:45
Speaker 8: You're brand new. I figured that. You're the new kid
5:47
on the block.
5:48
Speaker 10: I'm the new kid on the block. So this is
5:51
an adventure, and it's a blessing. These ladies, this one
5:55
really helped me to become on board. But it's a
5:59
very big part of my heart. Because I like to
6:05
bring the word to those that don't know the word.
6:08
And they need it. They need the Lord. I want
6:11
them to come to the Lord and accept Jesus as
6:15
their Savior. And that's why I'm part of this.
6:17
Speaker 8: It's a darn good reason to be a part of it.
6:19
Speaker 10: It's the only reason.
6:20
Speaker 8: It's the only reason. I like that.
6:22
Speaker 9: Now, the group is very, very special in a lot
6:26
of different ways.
6:27
Speaker 6: And.
6:28
Speaker 9: When we talk about a glow, it almost kind of
6:31
says it for itself.
6:32
Speaker 8: You're kind of a glow with the love.
6:35
Speaker 7: Yes. We do want to portray love everywhere we go
6:39
and with everything that we do. And that's why we're
6:43
incorporating the Flags of Fellowship this year into Love in Action.
6:49
I'm a part of and I join, I follow Flags
6:53
of Fellowship groups. It's a movement. It's with the International
7:00
Fellowship of Christians and Jews. And what they do is
7:06
the last three years that I have been involved with them,
7:11
all over the world, they come together around October the 7th,
7:17
which we're coming together with them on the 10th. And
7:21
we're going to honor those 1,200 that was killed in
7:25
the 2023 bombing. And we just want to stand with Israel.
7:32
I mean, the word of God tells us to stand
7:34
with Israel. The word of God tells us that if
7:37
you bless Israel, God's going to bless us. So we
7:40
want to stand with them. We want to pray with them.
7:42
We want to uphold them and encourage them. And we
7:45
want to be a part of the church mainly. And
7:50
being a part of the church is not a building.
7:55
but us individually. We're the church. And we need to
8:01
recognize Israel as God's chosen people. That's where his lineage
8:06
came from. Jesus came through the lineage of the Jews.
8:10
And we have to stand with them because that's what
8:13
the word of God tells us to. Not because we
8:16
have to, because we want to, because we love them.
8:19
We love God mostly. And because of that, we're going
8:23
to So we're bringing that into love and action. We're
8:26
going to have a moment of silence. Somebody's going to
8:31
pray over Israel. And I'm working on trying to get
8:34
a video that we can set up and watch. Haven't
8:39
got there yet, but we still got a couple of weeks.
8:42
But we just want everybody to come together. Like you said,
8:48
it's hard to get people to come together, especially churches
8:51
that have so much going on. and so much conflict
8:54
with other activities going on. But if you can, possibly,
8:59
we want to encourage you to come and be a
9:01
part of this. Come and join with us in standing
9:06
with Israel. Come and join with us in handing out
9:10
things to let our community know that we're here, and
9:14
we're here to help you. I've been telling, we're not
9:18
just inviting churches, we're also inviting resources like Agape and
9:22
The Lighthouse and Salvation Army and The Rock. And City
9:28
Compassion is going to be there, you know, so that
9:31
they will know we have food resources. We have clothing resources.
9:36
We have all kinds of things that not only that
9:40
they can be helped, but they can help those communities.
9:44
They can help those resources as far as volunteering and
9:49
coming together as a community and helping each other.
9:53
Speaker 8: Well, it sounds like the whole community is going to
9:55
be aglow, if you ask me.
9:56
Speaker 10: Yes.
9:56
Speaker 8: So this is going to be great. So we're going
9:59
to be... having a.
10:01
Speaker 9: Lot of fellowship, a lot of time to reflect, a
10:03
lot of time for prayer, a lot of time for
10:05
also getting together, too.
10:07
Speaker 7: Yes.
10:07
Speaker 8: A little time for some food.
10:09
Speaker 10: The revelators.
10:10
Speaker 8: Oh, tell us about them. Never heard of them. To
10:14
get real, ministries.
10:16
Speaker 11: Band.
10:17
Speaker 8: Yes, Rezo and Kevin. The revelators. Yes.
10:20
Speaker 7: And they're going to be there doing the worship.
10:23
Speaker 8: Very good. Very good.
10:25
Speaker 9: Good group of folks. I actually did a record with them.
10:28
We recorded it, of all places, at the church studio.
10:32
Speaker 6: All right.
10:32
Speaker 9: Yeah, we decided that we'd do it right. So anyway,
10:36
it's good that they're going to be there. So we're
10:38
going to have celebrations.
10:39
Speaker 8: All over, aren't we?
10:40
Speaker 12: Yes.
10:40
Speaker 10: Praise and worship.
10:42
Speaker 6: Yes.
10:42
Speaker 9: Boy, golly, we need it. I've noticed this, and I've
10:46
heard this from people around, not only in Oklahoma, but other.
10:52
Speaker 8: Parts of the world.
10:54
Speaker 9: Churches are starting to raise their attendance a little bit
10:58
these days. And some of them weren't prepared for it.
11:02
It's like, well, you've been doing all this hard work,
11:05
letting people know you weren't prepared for it. But anyway,
11:10
it's a good thing that I'm hearing that. that more
11:12
and more people are, and they're younger people. They're teens
11:16
and 20s that are looking for meaning, looking for substance,
11:21
looking for who they are, where they came from, where
11:23
they're going to go, the direction in life.
11:26
Speaker 8: That's amazing, isn't it? It's good to see.
11:29
Speaker 7: Gotcha. Also, we want to encourage those that come. Not
11:37
only are we going to have music or we're going
11:38
to have food, we're also going to have, we're going
11:41
to pass out we're going to be drawing for door prizes.
11:44
Speaker 1: Oh, nice.
11:45
Speaker 7: So, uh, if you come to join us and if
11:47
you feel like that you want to and want to
11:50
donate a basket, gift basket, gift card, whatever, uh, feel
11:55
free to let us know that. And when we get together,
11:57
we can, you know, we can draw for that also. Um,
12:01
I just want to encourage everybody and, uh, to add
12:05
a little bit of what Dorlis has said about a glow.
12:07
We meet every month on the first Saturday of the month. Uh,
12:12
Right now we're in the library. So other than October
12:18
the 10th, we're doing this. Then in November, we'll be
12:22
at the library from 11 to 1. And so if
12:26
you feel like that you might want to be a
12:28
part of a GLOW, come and check us out. Come
12:30
and see what we do. And maybe you can join
12:34
right in with us because we just take everything. We're
12:36
all from different churches. That's a wonderful thing. It's not
12:39
a church thing. It's a community thing. It's a fellowship thing, yes.
12:45
And the word tells us also that we need to
12:48
come together and fellowship together, not as a church, but
12:52
as God's children.
12:54
Speaker 8: Men are welcome. Men are welcome?
12:56
Speaker 11: Not just women.
12:57
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
12:58
Speaker 7: They used to be.
12:59
Speaker 8: They used to be.
12:59
Speaker 9: You're letting the fellows come in. We'll try not to
13:03
be too much trouble.
13:04
Speaker 2: Oh, they're a big help.
13:06
Speaker 8: Oh, good.
13:07
Speaker 7: We need the male leadership.
13:09
Speaker 8: You need the male membership?
13:11
Speaker 10: Membership and leadership.
13:12
Speaker 8: Okay.
13:13
Speaker 10: They're vital to the church.
13:15
Speaker 8: All righty.
13:17
Speaker 9: I'll remember that. See, you learn something new every day.
13:20
I did not know that you were taking fellows these days.
13:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
13:23
Speaker 8: Super. I want to thank you all for coming in.
13:25
And again, the date?

13:36
Speaker 8: And it was going to be perfect.
13:38
Speaker 6: Yes, it is.

14:18
Speaker 13: The first conversation I have with someone's loved one, and
14:22
I don't care if it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon
14:24
or 3 o'clock in the morning, that first conversation is, Mr. X,
14:28
this is Tim Howe with Arnold Moore and the Kent
14:30
Funeral Home. First of all, sir, let me say I'm
14:33
very sorry we're having to have this conversation right now.
14:36
And to the nth degree, those people always appreciate you
14:40
taking a moment to just pause and say, I'm aware
14:44
that someone you care about very much has just left you.
14:48
And I'm sorry that we have to do this, but
14:50
we have to do this. And if it's 3 o'clock
14:53
in the morning, I try to be brief but concise
14:57
and say, do you have any questions or anything I
14:59
can do for you right now before we meet at
15:02
our arrangement conference? And sometimes I'll say, you know, can
15:05
you call my priest?
15:07
Speaker 8: Can you call my pastor? And I don't mind doing that.
15:09
It'll be all right. We'll walk through this together.
15:11
Speaker 14: Arnold Moore and Knee Camp Funeral Home, 710 Dewey, Bartlesville.
15:16
Speaker 8: We'll walk through this together.
15:18
Speaker 14: Hi, this is Rod McIlvain, pastor of Grace Community Church.
15:24
Jesus said greater love has no one than this, that
15:26
he lay down his life for his friends. Jesus proved
15:29
his love by laying down his life for the world
15:31
and then rising from the dead. So now he's the
15:33
quintessential example of love. If you want to encounter a
15:36
love that's supernatural, you can come directly to the source
15:39
of it, Jesus Christ. And if you're looking for a
15:41
place to experience that love and community, Check us out.

16:50
Speaker 14: Hi, this is Ron McElvain, pastor of Grace Community Church.
16:53
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by anxiety and wish you
16:56
could find real peace? Worry sometimes creeps into our conscious
17:00
minds like a fog. Worry about the future, our finances,
17:04
our families. It makes our hearts race and disrupts our sleep.
17:08
Sometimes it feels we're carrying the weight of the world
17:10
on our shoulders. But God offers us something better than
17:14
temporary calm. He offers his active care. In 1 Peter 5, 7,
17:19
the apostle says, cast all your anxiety on him because
17:22
he He cares for you. Notice he's talking about not
17:26
just some of your anxiety, not just the manageable parts
17:29
of your fears. He's talking about all of it. God's
17:32
shoulders are strong enough and his heart is big enough
17:36
to carry what you can't. This isn't a call to
17:38
pretend everything's fine. It's an invitation to hand it over.
17:42
God knows how easy it is to endlessly ruminate in
17:45
mental loops that spiral down. And that's why he invites
17:49
us to decisively cast our burdens. When we release them.
