Delivered in 1964 in support of Sen Barry Goldwater for President
It is said by many, even Reagan himself, this speech defined Reagan's future political career, identifying him as a serious voice to be heard. He euphemistically referred to this speech as "The Speech", indicating his recognition of it being a turning point in his life's beliefs that would later guide him in his endeavors.
It is a speech that resounds in our generation today. Listen carefully, then, read the article at right, "Who Will Say "No More" to the Current Madness?", by Victor Davis Hansen.Read: A Time for Choosing Speech, October 27, 1964

Among the Shocking findings are -
1. "31% of adults say it is very important for their religious faith to influence every dimension of their life."
2. "49% accept reincarnation as a possibility after they die."
Just one question: If, if this is true then why do our politicians and those who do their bidding in the media possess the spirit of antichrist—an anti-Christian spirit that treats others with such hostility, disrespect and mean-spirited? Why is the state of our country so godless and in an advanced state of decay and decline?
Something is grossly immoral and amiss!
Consider this from 3 of our founding fathers:
Benjamin Franklin - Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.
Jedidiah Morse - Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government - and all blessings which flow from them - must fall with them.
John Adams - Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
This may help to answer some of your questions as to our current national state of affairs. The honest student of history knows this to be true. Also read:
Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the "C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group," which has an "ambitious target" by the year 2030 of '0 kg [of] meat consumption," "0 kg [of] dairy consumption," "3 new clothing items per person per year," "0 private vehicles" owned, and "1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person."

Who Will Say No More to the Current Madness?
American Churches Are Eerily Silent When the Country Needs Them Most
We Must Pivot or Perish
Here are two key videos that represent the pivotal time the world finds itself in once again in the course of human history. Jesus warned us the time before His return would be as it was in the days of Noah, before the first cataclysmic event of the flood. It was a time of such evil only one man and his household acknowledged God in all his ways.
To the intellectually honest person one has to admit God is rapidly being driven from the ways of men once again. How far down this path we have strayed is mere speculation but if Biblical history teaches us anything the teachings found in Paul's writing to the Romans who had become so decadent and godless must be carefully considered as a warning to us today. It would be wise for one to read this Biblical red flag before it is too late for us. (Romans 1)
To Donald J. Trump and all who aspire to lead as long as you surround yourselves with and support those such as below our country will never heal. There must be a clean break with those who are corrupt and speak from the deceit of their hearts. No longer are they cloaked in the collective darkness of their deeds (John 3:19-21). The people finally see. Now we must act if we are to live free, not as our lustful hearts' desire but as a Godly people once again. As Christians we are compelled to stop cowering before this godless generation and live boldly in our faith in Him.
There was a time not too long ago when being a "statesman" was an aspirational goal for those who sought to lead. It was a time when, if the course of events led us to the dark boundaries of fair play and common Godly sense in our public affairs, a single voice from one well-suited to speak would rise above the clamor of all and do so with an authority that would bring us together for the good of the nation. We would be led away from such threatening times. In this late hour, from France, the world has its first. It awaits for the next.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.- Matthew 24:7
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead. 2 Corinthians 1:9
I wrote this article in June prior to the 2020 national Presidential election. It is noteworthy to repost it because America's greatest fears have now been realized. A subversive element festering for over 100 years has finally seized her reigns and future and is rapidly establishing itself as the "legitimate" government and silencing those in opposition.What's worse is they are normalizing their ideology as authentic and demonizing those who hold to the Constitution and nationalistic Judeo-Christian culture and tradition. In other words, up is down and down is now up. Right in now wrong and wrong has become right. And they control every branch and institution of government. As a consequence true Americans have no place to turn for redress of their ever-increasing persecution.As of this writing, it is now eight months following that fraudulent seizure. Through the vehicle of medical tyranny, we are witnessing the fall of a nation, likely, faster than any in history. A nation that once was great has now been infiltrated by those actively rendering her powerless to those who plot her permanent demise. Americans have not only lost their constitutional rights but are being divided against each other and enslaved to a global power. Biblical end-time prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. Washington, being a student of the Bible, likely envisioned this day as he was fighting for her independence from the tyrants of his time.
General George Washington was so inspired by Thomas Paine's first essay, "The Crisis", he had his entire army read it. Paine's words were inspirational to Washington and his men during the first bleak winter of the revolutionary war. The British had just marched through New Jersey and New York and the Continental army was facing complete defeat. It has since inspired many. It is worthy of revisiting during a bleak time once again in our national history.
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated"
- Thomas Paine, The Crisis
Although there have been other times in my life Paine's quote—these are the times that try men's souls—has been applicable, I can say without question his famous saying has never been so in our world than today. In many of those times of the past, it was the balance of power in the world that was at stake. In our time, the very existence of humankind is at peril. You ask, "What is that threat?" It is two-fold.
First, it is without question science has reached such an advanced stage that powerful and ultra-wealthy people are now trying to play God in the manipulation of human population and the environment of the planet. The world has been attacked by a deadly virus created by those powerful people and all for what purpose? Can anyone really say there is any benefit to the human race for their actions? I can think of none--only diabolical and destruction. It is hard to believe by most of us there exists such evil people with horrific desires. This did not end well in the history of man when our ancestors involved themselves in the Sovereignty of the Creator. Nor will it end well in our time. We have been forewarned. Secondly, when we examine their own words we discover their plot to reduce the population of the world and reshape it to their liking. The evidence is out there for any who take the time to do the research. In America, we are faced with a choice in the upcoming national election of a choice like never before. It is not the subtle shift of power back and forth between two political parties but an attempt by this corrupt evil group of "elites" who will impose upon America and the world their anti-human agenda. It will be the end of America as we have known it. Take them at their word. They tell us more deadly viruses are to come (how would they know this?) and they will be far deadlier than this first. My interest in writing this is the role of Christians in such a perilous time, particularly pastors and church leaders. I am disheartened by the lack of sense of urgency in this generation of church leaders. Sure there are pockets of purity in preaching and leadership but the lack of a national call to urgency of our defending the faith and the preaching of the gospel in the face of a judgment to come is appalling! Human souls hang in the balance. It is no time for timidity and shrinking from the first duty of the minister of the gospel. This includes all Christians for all have been called into this ministry of reconciliation (II Corinthians 5:18). It is time for Christ's church to stand together and let its bold voice be heard!

Now for the Conclusion to the background study of the 5 major Jewish groups in Jesus' time
for preparation of the textual study of the Gospel of John in the book: Adam2.
Having looked now at some possible origins, developments, beliefs, and comparisons of five major Jewish groups in Jesus' day,
the obvious question that remains to be asked is: what of their end? Since these groups all had their roots in Judaism
(which flourished within a free Jewish state, whether under independent rule or favorable foreign occupation),
it stands to reason that if those conditions were altered, then changes were inevitable. Hopefully,
it has become clear to the reader that the Jewish state did not end because Rome was hostile to their religion.
On the contrary, Rome's stated policy on the religion of other conquered nations was:
religio-lictus, which is
Latin for a lawful religion recognized as legitimate within that nation. However, due to the
seditious nature of a certain element that led to the fall of Jerusalem and the Jewish state in A.D.70,
life for the Jews would never be the same.
For the scribes whose role in Judaism was more function than political, as long as there remained a need for the
preservation and reproduction of God's revelation and the chronicles of Israel's history, they would always have
their place in Jewish society, no matter the state of it (even to modern times). From Genesis
to Malachi, God had inspired holy men made wise through the knowledge of His revelation to
record His continuing record. However, failing to recognize and embrace Jesus as their expected messiah, the first
century self-righteous scribes had abdicated their position as the truly wise of Israel, as once seen in their predecessors.
God would no longer use these "whited sepulchers" as vessels for His continuing revelation. He would choose a tax collector,
Galilean fishermen, a Gentile physician, a turncoat Pharisee, etc., men unlearned in the hierarchy of Jewish tradition and
wisdom (with the exception of one), to confound the wise of the day and complete the record of His revelation.
Since the Pharisees were mainly identified with the synagogue that had taken root in Jewish society, theirs would be the
remaining party to survive the demise of the Jewish state. Following the end of all other rivals, their name would no
longer be necessary and eventually all became known simply as, the Jews.
For the Sadducees, whose whole purpose and function revolved around Temple life, with the destruction of the Temple
and the dispersion of the Jews, their reason for being no longer existed. Hence, as a party, they ceased to exist.
As might be expected, one may be led to believe that with the severity in which Rome overcame the sedition of the Zealots,
they in turn were finished. And indeed they were for a time, but another resurgence would occur under the proclaimed messiah,
Bar Cochba, in A.D. 132, only to be thoroughly put down within three years by eight of Rome's best legions.The area's name
was then changed from Judea to Palestinia (after the Philistines). The region would remain in the hands of foreigners until
A.D. 1948 when David Ben Gurion would become Israel's first new national leader.
Most of us have either heard or heard of John Lennon's song: Imagine
(there's no heaven... lyrics).
On the surface it sounds wonderful: a utopia where everyone is one--no divisions, conflict, struggle or want—here, now.
There's just one problem with that: Sin. Read the
lyrics
again. What do you see missing? Two things: the Redemption of man and most importantly, the Absence of God.
One does not have to look far nor into the too distant past to see evidence of
that in its most frightening horrific form. Lennon's own life ended tragically. Sin is inescapable no matter how much we may
imagine. Evil exists in the world and lies within the heart of the best of us whether we act on its impulse or not.
And what of that I wonder was Lennon's suggestion for us? How do you suppose He proposed to expiate sin and evil from the heart of man,
something that can not be seen nor touched by the most learned scientist, skilled surgeon or world philosopher?
Following Mr. Lennon's suggestion of imagining "no heaven, no hell, no religion", let me propose this:
Imagine There Is No Christ!
Sit for a moment and reflect. Close your eyes and look with the mind's eye. Imagine there is a world without Christ, without His church,
His Christians, without God, without the evidences in creation of His nature of order and purpose. In our arrogance and self-nurturing ego
many assume, as did Lennon, we possess of our own making all the desirable attributes of righteousness and good intentions toward others,
that it has no source outside ourselves, originating out of our own sense of goodness, special being and self-healing. There isn't anything
inherently wrong with any of us other than flawed thinking and a lack of acceptance, understanding and imagination. If we would all just come
together and agree to see the world and each other in the same single way there would be world harmony. Miraculously, we would all live
and sing in tune as "one." The problem with that is obvious on its surface. Who determines the "same single way" all are to agree
and live harmoniously? How do so many independent thinkers and individual lives, corrupted by sin and evil, come to that point—generation
after generation? And what if, let's say for argument purposes, just one doesn't comply?...
For centuries we have chosen this time of year to observe and celebrate the birth of Jesus to our world. He was called:
Immanuel—God with us. Based upon the teaching of Scripture, I am of the opinion that Jesus did not observe one single
birthday of his earthly existence. There is no where in the New Testament indicating so, unlike many of the other Jewish
festivals and feasts He did observe. But we are eternally grateful that He was born in our nature and gave us the record
of His purpose in coming. And what a life that was and a record it is! Believe He is God or not, none of His critics
through the centuries have denied His existence or exemplary life. But just suppose He did not come. Suppose there has
been no Christ. Suppose there is no Christian in the world. Suppose we live without that innate sense of a sovereign
and saving God, as Lennon suggests...
The following is taken from the Book of New Testament Summaries.
Chapter
(A.D.60-63?)
God, who once spoke through the prophets, has now spoken through His Son, the first-begotten of Him.
Jesus, being made in the image of God, higher than the angels, to be worshipped by them, made and sustains
all things. He is everlasting, sending forth His ministering angels to minister to all the heirs of His salvation.
His message, witnessed by man, therefore, is paramount, to be heard and obeyed by all, neglected by none, if we are
to escape this world alive. Man, being crowned with glory and honor, was given dominion over all things,
having all things placed under his feet (control). But yet he, because of his sin, lost and no longer holds
dominion over his own death, it seizing and enslaving him. Christ, then, being made as man, lower than the
angels by His choice for a season, and being made perfect through His suffering, became the Captain of our salvation.
He defeated Satan who was given the power over man's death by man himself (
Gen.2:17;
3:17-19),
returning death back under man's feet. Man is finally able through Christ to be free from the bondage and fear of death.
Because of His suffering and temptations while overcoming death for us, He is able to minister to us in our present
suffering under death's curse.
Partaking of this Heavenly calling, we now have a High Priest and Apostle who will be faithful
to the finish of this calling, with greater glory than Moses who was faithful to Israel. Therefore,
let us hold fast this confidence and hope, with a believing and obedient heart, to the end that
we may enter into His rest, unlike the unbelieving fathers in the first Earthly Exodus who died
out in the wilderness.
Let us put away all unbelief and labor (believe) with faith to enter into the rest that remains for
us even to this day. Be cautioned that His Word is able to lay open our hearts, even to the
minutest detail of our deepest thoughts and intentions. Because we have so great a High Priest
who once experienced all that we ever will, yet without sin, let us approach His throne with
bold confidence for grace and mercy in our needs. [See Jn.6. Jesus' teaching on labor (work).]
Therefore, Christ, called of God to be a High Priest after the order of Melchisedec, became
the author of our salvation after having been made perfect in His learning obedience through
much suffering, even unto His death. This is a hard teaching, unable to be understood by
immature believers whose spiritual senses are dull and unexercised, unable to discern the
deeper things of God. Meat, not milk, grows one to maturity in Christ, enabling them to teach others.
May God permit us, then, to go on beyond the basic principles (teachings) of Christ concerning
our salvation: baptism, laying on of hands, the resurrection, and eternal judgment. It is
impossible to begin again and again, for that requires His sacrifice anew and anew, thus putting
Him to open shame, in that His first was not sufficient. Know that God will not forget our work
and labor of love, and He Himself will remain faithful to His promise to us; this He swears by
Himself, and He is not a liar. This is our hope, the anchor of our soul beyond the veil, that is
the Lord Jesus our High Priest.
Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God who received tithes of Abraham from
his victory in Lot's rescue, is the Old Testament type of our high priest in Christ. (Without
father, mother, descent, beginning or end, abiding a priest continually forever.) He descended
not of the Levites, in fact, Levi, being in his father's loins, paid tithes unto him. Furthermore,
we are not even made perfect through Aaron's priesthood, or else there would have been no need for another.
Aaron's priesthood, being made after the carnal commandant without oath, is temporal, for they were sinners themselves,
who also needed a sacrifice, and who all died. Therefore, the priesthood was changed, and with it, the carnal Law disannuled,
and Christ, from the lineage of Judah, not Levi, who needed no sacrifice for Himself, with an oath, has become a new Priest.
Because He continues forever, needing not daily ministration for Himself, as Aaron's priesthood once did, offered Himself
once and for all as our full and final sacrifice, consecrated forevermore.
[A summary follows.] We now have a High Priest, a Minister of the true Tabernacle, who is
seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majestic in Heaven. His is the true priesthood of
the true Tabernacle, the old priesthood being only a foreshadow given to Moses pointing to
and preparing for the coming of the new in Christ. If we have a new Priest and Tabernacle,
then a new Covenant is needed. This He gives, and instead of writing it on stone as before, He
now writes into our hearts and minds His laws, with no need of a teacher but Him. As a result
of His new Covenant, the first, then, is made old and vanishes.

The Old Time Religion - 6/13/1974
Acts 8: And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
When Praying, Do Not Think You Are Offering Your Words To Him For Them To Be Graded, And If You Should Pass By Any Measure, He May Answer For Your Good Pleasure... Read More
All your words, no matter how well or poorly constructed, if uttered from the heart, will be heard by Him, and into His presence you will be
faithfully conducted. So, learn the language of your heart and speak it often; for in it lies the key to effective communication with Him.
THIS IS PRAYER!
As A Developing Child Mimics To Learn The Language Of Its Parent And Provider So As To Effectively Communicate Its Deepest Desires
And Innermost Thoughts Of The Heart, So Too Must You With Your Heavenly Father. As With Any Language, To Know That Language,
You Must Study His Manual And Speak It Often To Him.
AND SO PRAY:
"Father, teach me first the words of your Heavenly language whereby I may communicate to you the thoughts of my heart and
with it hear and understand your will to me. And then teach me not only how to pray and the words to say, but for what it is I am to pray."
"0 Lord, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul."
Observe how positively the prophet speaks. He doth not say, "I hope, I trust, I sometimes think, that God hath pleaded the causes of my soul"; but he speaks of it as a matter of fact not to be disputed. "Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul."... Read More
Let us, by the aid of the gracious Comforter, shake off those doubts and fears which so much mar our peace and comfort. Be this our prayer, that we may have done with the harsh croaking voice of surmise and suspicion, and may be able to speak with the clear, melodious voice of full assurance. Notice how gratefully the prophet speaks, ascribing all the glory to God alone! You perceive there is not a word concerning himself or his own pleadings. He doth not ascribe his deliverance in any measure to any man, much less to his own merit; but it is "thou"—"O Lord, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; Thou hast redeemed my life." A grateful spirit should ever be cultivated by the Christian; and especially after deliverances we should prepare a song for our God. Earth should be a temple filled with the songs of grateful saints, and every day should be a censor smoking with the sweet incense of thanksgiving. How joyful Jeremiah seems to be while he records the Lord's mercy. How triumphantly he lifts up the strain! He has been in the low dungeon, and is even now no other than the weeping prophet; and yet in the very book which is called "Lamentations," clear as the song of Miriam when she dashed her fingers against the tabor, shrill as the note of Deborah when she met Barak with shouts of victory, we hear the voice of Jeremy going up to heaven—"Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life." O children of God, seek after a vital experience of the Lord's lovingkindness, and when you have it, speak positively of it; sing gratefully; shout triumphantly.

The First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state. That wall must be kept high and impregnable.
We could not approve the slightest breach.1 Everson v. Board of Education, 1947.

Engel v. Vitale, 1962;2 Abington v. Schempp, 1963;3 Commissioner of Education v. School Committee of Leyden, 19714...
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Because of God's assurances given to us in His Word, as Christians, we should take Him at His Word and promise ourselves we will
never again do those things He has given us the power to overcome. These are just the beginning in a long list waiting to be
discovered as you read. Read them. Claim them. Practice daily walking in His Power in them. Write them out. Carry them with you.
Look at and repeat them to yourself often. Soon you will discover you will give no second thought of them as His Spirit transforms
you into His likeness... Read More
For just one example. When someone asks you, "How's your day going?" and difficulties seem more than normal
for you, don't reply, "Terrible, just terrible. I'm really having a bad day." Be genuine. Rise above your difficulties and
live in the Joy of His promises and assurances. "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalms 118:24;
"(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)" - II Co.5:7. So, I will never again say: I'm having a bad day!...
The consequences of the magnitude of such a broad scale world-wide implementation of a "new church model" cannot be ignored. It must be examined by the serious Bible student and Christian! It must be looked at in light of Bible prophecy. We must heed the warnings of both Jesus' own words when He walked the earth and those inspired by the Holy Spirit written later for our advantage in alertness of end-time events and trends. Not to do so would be perilous. So, I have prayerfully written 5 articles on this demonic phenonemonen with hopes they will help you to understand how serious this modern attack is on the true church of Christ - Articles on the Modern Church.
Giants Among Us
Have you ever stood among the giant redwoods of Northern California?
They exist in groves, some measured in square miles, others only in acres.
There are small groves of great trees, old trees, whose rings record years of human history—some hundreds, others thousands of years in growth.
There are large groves of smaller trees, younger trees, those who do not possess the record of their antecedents. Our history awaits to be written into them.
They are community.
They stand in unity.
They are silent, yet speak with one voice.
They know but One Creator, One God.
They reach up to the same heaven.
They are rooted in the same earth.
They drink from the same hidden stream.
They are nourished by the same unseen Source.
They are majestic, unpretentious, grand, as though the perfect sentinel.
They speak with a whisper when still but roar in the mighty wind...
