  SPEAKER_00: The Bible says, Be watchful, stand fast in the faith.

  SPEAKER_00: Both point to God.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: Both honor God.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: Both depend on God, and both must be defended.

  SPEAKER_00: A nation cannot survive if the Constitution is ignored.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: A church cannot stand if the Bible is compromised.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: A people cannot remain free if truth becomes negotiable.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Our rights come from God, not from government, not from culture, not from public opinion.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: Our truth comes from Scripture, not from trends, not from feelings, not from the changing winds of society.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: This generation must choose will we protect the foundations or will we watch it crumble?
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: Will we stand for truth or will we let truth be rewritten?
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Will we honor God or will we follow the crowd?
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: The early believers crossed an ocean so they could worship freely.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: The founders built a nation where God could be honored, and now it's our turn.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: Our turn to stand, our turn to speak out, to protect the truth, to defend the freedom that God has given us.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible says, Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand, stand therefore.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: So let's stand, stand for Scripture, stand for truth, stand for freedom, stand for the foundation that has blessed this nation all from their beginning, because when God is honored, people are strengthened, and when truth is protected, freedom remains.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: This is our moment.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: This is our calling.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: This is our responsibility.
• 3:45

  SPEAKER_00: It belongs in the way we live before the world.
• 4:08
