You know I’ve spent my career taking on some of the cultural baddies you know some of the most prominent intellectuals in the world some of them in public debates some of them behind the scenes and I’ve come to realize that ideas Define everything that we do with an academic degree you’re trained
To be a researcher and writer to the point that is annoying I mean but I’m grateful for it I’m not talking about books I’ve not read I’m not talking about papers I’ve not read whether I agree with them or not actually isn’t the point there are quite a few books that I would
Read that I would say are actually evil books Donald Trump when he was in a divorce with his first wife she said he has a copy of mineconf next to his bed I wish more people did if the German people had bothered to read that book
Rather than just have it on their Shelf we might have avoided the Holocaust if more people read the Quran they’d be wiser to what Islam actually is what they actually believe if people bothered to read as I have the writings of Klaus Schwab and the various contributors to the world
Economic forum and the ideas that are driving the globalists I read them because I want to understand their mentality I cut out the middleman go straight to the ideology everything in your life is being defined by either your ideas or the ideas of the people around you and each episode we’re going
To be digging into a different idea that appears in the culture this is ideas have consequences with me Larry Alex saunton welcome to the lighthouse thank you can we take a little video hi Mr President it is an honor of France rights of human rights at the White House
The bravest the most inspiring people I’ve ever known are we stopped us at the White House so that’s as I’m sure most of you know that is the pride day the alphabet mafia’s Pride day at the White House a white house where they put the
Gay pride lgbtq the flag on the uh the White House there and of course it’s in an utter Abomination I mean it is an utter Abomination This was meant to offend the American people indeed it was meant to say as an in your face gesture
It’s a it’s a flag of putting that flag on the White House was a flag of Conquest it was planting a flag and saying I mean you can almost hear Queen’s Freddie Mercury singing We Are The Champions which is by the way a gay anthem as it
Was intended to be so how are we to make sense of this so in this podcast we’re not we’re not just expressing our outrage we want to give you a sense of the ideas that are driving it because I know that many of you are asking the
Question you know what’s going on how can this possibly make any sense and to just look at it from afar it doesn’t make any sense but I assure you that they are following a game plan they’re following a strategy a warp strategy a warped game plan but they’re
Actually following one you know what I’m actually reminded of um as I’ve said in other episodes of this podcast my mission in life my mission in this podcast is to demolish arguments that set themselves up against the knowledge of God and the lgbtq ideology is at its core it is satanic it sets
Itself up not just simply against the knowledge of God it is it sets itself up as a rival to it as a as a uh as an alternate object of worship they want your worship they demand your worship now what this reminds me of is a bit of
Ancient literature known as the Old Testament and specifically Daniel chapter 5. now stick with me in this in Daniel chapter 5 you have the story of King belshazzar belshazzar is referred to as as the son of Nebuchadnezzar whether he was his son or his grandson
Or a son in the sense of somewhere down the line isn’t very clear to us but the point is he is a descendant of Nebuchadnezzar and he knows the story of Nebuchadnezzar and how God both blessed and punished Nebuchadnezzar what belshazzar does is he’s having a feast one night a party
Sounds like a wild party the kind that you would throw in let’s say New Orleans or in Amsterdam and it says that he’s celebrating with his wives and his concubines and his guests and he’s showing off and he orders that the vessels which had been taken out of the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem
During Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest of Jerusalem he orders that the vessels of gold and silver that were taken out of the temple and put into the Babylonians um treasury he says bring them out bring them out that we might drink from them so what Nebuchadnezzar is doing is something very excuse me what belshazzar
Is doing is something very similar to this it’s an act of Conquest it’s an it’s an in your face act not just against the the people of Israel it is an in your face acts against God himself bring his vessels that we may drink from them that we may party
So he’s desecrating them with his debauched Pottery party you picture women you know going around taking selfies you know and this kind of thing if they could have you you picture people like in this video or are half naked you know wandering around at the pool party and everybody getting drunk it is
An interesting passage because it’s pointing out that the goal was to desecrate the things of God and then it says a hand appear to begin writing on the wall so you know this is where we get the term the writing is on the wall it’s obvious the writing is on the wall
It’s over that’s what that that’s what that phrase means we say that the writing is on the wall the reason I think of that passage I hope is obvious to you because that’s what’s going on here and all the more so because where the god of the Bible showed patience
Let’s say with the ninevites who knew the truth in so far as Romans 2 15 says that God has written his law upon all our hearts we all have a conscience we all have a vague sense of right and wrong they didn’t know the biblical story they didn’t know the biblical God and
God God decided he would not render final judgment against him until they’d heard it and hence the reason he sent Jonah to them but his judgment against belshazzar was made all the harsher because belshazzar knew the truth and he rejected it now that is the truth of people like Joe
Biden Joe Biden pretends to be a Catholic says he is who does this in their own home much less at the White House can you imagine previous presidents say before Bill Clinton how they would react to something like this at the White House I’m thinking that most guests at the White House a
Woman would have been shocked if she had been told your slip is showing much less if she’s topless or you got a [ __ ] you know running around with you know not wearing a shirt and with fake breasts this is what’s going on there who knows what these people are doing in the
Lincoln bedroom who knows what they were doing in the Oval Office and the rumors are they were doing quite a lot the idea being to desecrate those places that if they’re not holy and sacred in the biblical sense they have a certain reverence in the in in our history
The Lincoln bedroom the White House they were referred to as that’s America’s house that belongs to the American people and it has in the National sense a kind of sacred place of honor in our history and now you have people coming and hanging this flag off of it the Biden
Administration did it deliberately and it is an in your face gesture and in your face gesture meant to offend you meant to desecrate the very things that you would hold dear Biden himself Jill Biden are in that video wasn’t like they were away and they were
You know on a you know a state visit in Europe or something and it came back and said didn’t realize what was going on at the White House look at what the kids did when we were away they had a keg party that’s not what happened they knew full well and they gave
They gave approval to it Romans chapter 1 which I have made and will continue to make frequent reference to on this show Romans chapter 1 verses 18 through 32 at the end of that passage it says they not only do evil things wicked things but they give
Approval to those who also do them listen we’re all sinners we’re all Sinners but sometimes people say that as a way of kind of trivializing real Sin ah well we all sin everybody’s sin I think God is with you if if you’re a sinner out there who actually struggles with your sin
You struggle with your sin you struggle to to stop gossiping you struggle uh to not be a glutton you struggle not to be greedy you struggle not to be unkind with your words you’re struggling that is to say you’re contending against your sin that tells me the holy spirit is at work
In you where the holy spirit is ceased to be at work in you is when you give yourself over to your sin and you no longer struggle and contend with it and where you are really entered the danger zone where the meter is in the red and where God’s Wrath Burns hot
Against you is where not only are you not struggling with your sin and you’ve given yourself over to it but now you are trying to bring other people into it and give approval to it and see that is what the LGBT community has done so when I hear people say that oh homosexuality
Um transgenderism I used to sin like any other sin no it isn’t the Bible speaks with homosexuality of a special class of sin and it’s because it’s an assault on nature it is a perversion of nature this is Romans 1. or the Apostle Paul says they turned their natural
Um what should I say their natural desires for the opposite sex to their own sex men men um committing Shameless acts with other men and women doing the same thing so in in other words homosexuality is an assault on the image of God because it is a perversion of nature does not
Nature itself teach you that this is wrong doesn’t it tell you that Flying J goes with Slade does it nature itself teach you this so it’s important that you understand this this kind of perversion that we’re saying but now we’re seeing it against children we’re seeing it against children so the question becomes
How did we get here and how are we to how are we to navigate the Avalanche of alphabet Mafia propaganda that’s flooding the culture and it is flooding the culture in a very big way you see it everywhere you see it in education you see it in entertainment
You now see it in the white house do you see that this past week a man who was praying at a transgender rally was arrested excuse me he was preaching I’m sure he prayed too but he was preaching he was arrested now they dropped the charges but the point is
While all this perversion was taking place in public and I mean you can find videos of this and this is perverse perverse stuff that is taking place in public with children but a man comes along and he begins to preach the gospel which by the way is an act of compassion
It’s an act of compassion because that man is saying to you you are headed towards self-destruction the way you’re going you are about to run into the teeth of an Angry God but they arrested him just like the woman who was praying silently outside of an abortion clinic in London
You know maybe I don’t know three four five months ago they arrested her she wasn’t saying anything she’s standing very peacefully silently didn’t say anything to people who are going in and out of the place she just stood there her eyes weren’t even closed but the
Police asked her what are you doing and she said I’m just standing here and they said are you praying she said I might be she was arrested for her thoughts they suspected that she harbored anti-abortion thoughts and they arrested her this is what’s going on did you see that
I don’t know maybe it was this week the so-called Human Rights Campaign did you guys see this it’s incredible the so-called Human Rights Campaign declared a quote state of emergency for the lgbtq community state of emergency and news media picked up on this it ran with this like you know we were facing
A holocaust for lgbtq people and um they the headline said for the first time in their four decades-long history the Human Rights Campaign has declared a state of emergency for the LGBT community have you even seen I’ve seen I’ve seen signs and t-shirts that say stop trans genocide have you seen this
Stop transgenocide is pushing a narrative a victimhood that’s a complete lie who’s loading them up on box cars and sending them to concentration camps where’s that happening who’s lining them up against the wall and shooting them is that happening somewhere the answer of course is no it isn’t happening these are these are
Quite the opposite these are people who are hanging their perverted flag on the White House and that brings me to another point that resonates with Daniel chapter 5. little thought that occurred to me right here and that is again they want to pervert everything in the culture and they want
To pervert the things of God hence the reason they chose the rainbow the rainbow is a Christian symbol is a Christian symbol of God’s forgiveness and his promise never to flood the Earth again that’s why they chose it they chose it to pervert it to turn it into their pagan
Meaning they’re Pagan and perverse the stop trans um genocide is offensive for a variety of reasons first because it’s a lie but second because it trivializes real genocides it trivializes real genocides as does the claim to civil rights gays Civil Right lgbtq civil rights the uh trans trans civil rights that that
Trivializes the real civil rights of you know the the movement of Martin Luther King Jr it trivialized it Waters it down so that it becomes less significant and meaningful because you have people who are claiming victimhood who are not themselves victims Joe Biden tweeted
Or let me put it this way the person who handles this Twitter account there’s no way that Joe Biden is doing his own tweeting someone else is tweeting on his behalf but he tweeted that trans people were being persecuted and kicked out of restaurants that they are being persecuted that they
Needed their own Bill of Rights and the the presidential account of Joe Biden issued a um a trans Bill of Rights that they’re working on and really what this means is it’s a way of saying that the constitution the Bill of Rights the laws of the land they’re not enough they deserve a
Special category of laws that are just for them meaning they’d be they deserve to be treated not as actual citizens of this country are treated but to have their own special category of Rights so that if you criticize them if you question them if you protest them you better watch out
It means they’re coming for you it means they’re going to persecute you it means they’re going to try to shut you down shut you up cancel you arrest you suppress your civil liberties that is what this is about let’s be clear transgenderism isn’t a real thing you cannot transcend your sex
You’re male or female period you pretend to be something I could pretend to be a woman and tell all of you that you need to use my preferred pronouns that you all have to play along in my fantasy world I can tell all of you that I’m a dog I
Could tell all of you that I’m a horse and I’m a space man that I’m a surgeon and that all of you have to play along with the fantasy but the reality is you can’t transcend your sex you are what you are but they’re claiming that they deserve a
Special category of rights now a decade ago when Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson was Under Fire for comments that he made about homosexuality I came to his defense with a piece that went viral in the Atlantic yes the Atlantic pretty amazing you know now when I when
I think about it but some of you will remember this Duck Dynasty at the time was a massive success the TV show and Phil Robertson um I think he was hunting with a rider from I think it was GQ I’m not sure I’m not sure who the writer was and I’m not
Certain in the magazine but I think it was with GQ and Robertson has said during that hunt I don’t think he realized he was being quoted in this but he spoke rather bluntly about homosexuality and he said he didn’t accept it and he went on to say and you
Know terms that went something like this I just say you look at a woman and you see what she has to offer and she has to offer more Robertson was just stating very flatly I’m not interested in sex with a man it makes no sense the the engineering of
That doesn’t actually even work a woman it’s natural it makes sense the next thing you know you had groups like glsen the gay lesbian straight education Network glad coming out and saying they were condemning him and expressing shock and horror couldn’t believe that he was
Saying this and so I came along with an article in the Atlantic that amazingly the Atlantic published somewhat reluctantly but they did publish it where I came to uh to Robertson’s defense and said let’s be clear here let’s stop with all the the fake shock and horror because Roberson is just expressing what
Everyone already knows the Bible says and that actual Christians believe and that is that homosexuality is wrong it’s content it’s condemned by the Bible so let’s not let’s not ring our hands over this and pretend that the Bible doesn’t say this we you may not like the
Way you said it you may have thought that he was a little bit crude in saying it but you’re not really shocked that he said it so when I came to his defense I said nope what he said is absolutely Orthodox Christianity and more than that we are moving in the direction
Of a people who are claiming that they want rights but it’s not about rights they want dominion over this country and I ended the article with this again this was in 2013. tolerance is not the same thing as acceptance and acceptance is not the same thing as an endorsement the
Campaign for tolerance has advanced to a campaign to pressure Christians to recant their beliefs and endorse a lifestyle to which they are opposed conscience be damned we stand at a Crossroads the country must decide is the end game here to be that Orthodox Christians will henceforth have no voice
Within their own culture or have we become a nation of bullies forcing Conformity at the expense of free speech and in the name of Tolerance a decade on I think I was somewhat prophetic I was warning that these are people who have told us all along that what they
Wanted was tolerance now they want your children and it’s absolutely true that this is the direction they want to go so the question becomes how do we get here well this is all part of a uh of of Marx’s tactics now some of you will say
Are you trying to tell me that everybody was at the White House celebrating a pride day that these were all marxists no I would argue that many of them don’t know a thing about Karl Marx much less Marxism but they are being used by the social Engineers to bring about sweeping
Changes in this country and that is because homosexuality and sexual perversion is being used to disrupt the Norms in American society in order to annihilate the existing social political and moral paradigms in order to replace it with something else not making this stuff up again this is all open uh for
You to see and the guy who was the engineer really behind this in a big way in addition to Antonio gramsci Graham she played a role in this with the development of what we call what we now call intersectionality critical theory Georg lukash he was this guy
Right here this book the destruction of reason he was uh Hungarian he was a Bolshevik just an out and out Bolshevik uh which is to say um a Marxist a leninist a communist a socialist it was all that and um this guy here was you might call him something of a he’s
Kind of a Carl Von klauschvitz of Marxism don’t know who klauschvitz was klauschvitz 1831 posthumously his wife published on his behalf a book called on war vom Krieg he uh was a Prussian military theorist had observed the tactics of Napoleon and his his theories have become even to
This day they dominate military thinking not the way they maybe once did but gosh a generation ago through World War II everybody knew the theories of Carl Von klausch fits how to win how to win in a battle and he said this is the way Napoleon did it this was the
Brilliance of Napoleon vomcreek on War it’s important to have a Christian world view the question becomes how do we build that how do we develop that oftentimes we have Bible teachers who are very faithful in teaching scripture but don’t ever quite make the connection with the outside world other times we
Have Bible teachers who don’t really want to touch certain topics because they’re just seem to be too toxic at towmap.com you are going to find a wide range of issues being addressed to help you build out that Christian world view they’re on things from from suffering dealing with mental health to

Theorist and he’s a guy along with Antonio gramsci there are others but he’s one of the most important ones along with gramshi but maybe where gram she was speaking of cultural Marxism Much More Much More broadly lukage was speaking in very specific detail of how to overthrow the existing paradigms in
The west and part of his theory was this again like like gramshi he was a guy who understood that that the conventional Marxist means of overtaking of overthrowing existing governments and overtaking a society that is to say a funnel assault with guns with a revolution with a coup d’etat the
Russian Revolution wasn’t a revolution it was a coup d’etat anyway you can go read Richard pipes on that Russian historian brilliant stuff but he said look the structure of the West is far too strong the pillars of Western Society are far too strong the average person respects their government
The average person isn’t seething with resentment and wanting to overthrow the government they have complaints it’s not the same thing as fomenting with deep resentment and a desire to destroy the existing paradigms to destroy the government and he understood as Karl Marx understood and as Graham she understood Graham she was an Italian
Um political theorist he was imprisoned by uh by Mussolini and wrote These secret notebooks in the 1930s that became the object of worship among marxists in the West well lukage the Hungarian he said we have to destroy Christianity first because everything else you’re attacking is really just a is part of the outflow
Of what Christianity is now there would be some of you who are listening to this and going well I’m not a Christian what do you mean Christianity is the foundation of Western Society if you were born and raised in the west particularly if you were above let’s say the age of 30.
All the more so let’s say if you’re above the age of 50. you have likely unless you are in some odd little berkeley-esque you know bubble you likely inhale deeply of a judeo-christian worldview and it formed the basis of your worldview somewhere deep inside of you you probably believe even if you’re an
Atheist that you’re not prepared to equate human life with animal life I mean if you’re an atheist and you’re going to follow your atheism to its logical conclusions that is a logical conclusion of atheism that human beings have no more value than any other animal on the planet these guys were saying look
Even among unbelievers in Western Society most of them the structure of their thinking of their moral Outlook is judeo-christian in nature this book right here little book I got right here the suicide of the West the authors of this talk about this I don’t know that either one of them are
Christians they may be but this is a point that they’re that they’re making in this book and by the way this is a point that was also made this book right down here civilization the west and the rest by Neil Ferguson Harvard historian Oxford PhD Neil Ferguson argues that as
Christianity is declining in the West um what you’re seeing is the rise of barbarism and that’s because the Christian faith is served as a a bulwark for centuries against some of the barbarism much of the barbarism that is engulfed much of the world that has brought about genocides that is
Brought about totalitarian regimes it seems endless it’s brought about banana Republics the United States has by and large avoided this not completely and has also been able to move past its own mistakes like slavery it can can deal with national sins like slavery through the Christian faith which says
There can be forgiveness and restoration Georg lukash he said look we have to destroy the West particularly America’s Christian foundations and he decided and here’s where the rubber meets the road maybe they’re not the best choice of words but he decided that the way was through sex education
Is through sex education get that into schools because under the cover the cloak of sex education you could convince parents that what children are being taught is responsible sexual activity how to not get diseases he was trying to implement this in Hungary but wasn’t successful because the regime itself didn’t last
So what did he do he joined the Frankfurt School and uh the Frankfurt School in Germany many of you by now will have heard of it maybe you hadn’t heard of it five years ago but you probably have now the Frankfurt School which is made up of marxists who are hell-bent on the
Destruction of the West the Frankfurt School most of the members of the Frankfurt schools fled Germany when Hitler gained power in 1933 where did they go they went to the United States that went to New York began having massive influence in the United States on academics in the United States particularly Columbia University
And they absorbed a lot of lukash’s ideas regarding sex education get that in the classroom and it’s like getting a crowbar beneath Christianity and thus beneath Western Civilization as a whole and You Begin Again busting it up I like I like what um British writer Rob slain says about this this is terrific
So here’s what sex education really is it is not an attempt to educate children about sexual intercourse or to encourage sexual responsibility or to prevent teenage pregnancies rather it is an attempt by the state to sever the link between marriage and procreation to sever the link between parents and their
Children and above all to destroy traditional Christian sexual ethics and the family for good it is above all about the destruction of traditional Christian sexual ethics and the family for good that is the goal of sexual education in the west that is the goal of marxists in order to bust up
Western Society because then you begin to break up Western morality and once Christianity goes said T.S Lewis the whole culture goes Neil Ferguson quotes in in uh civilization the west and the rest talking about the West he has a conversation with an anonymous Chinese academic Anonymous for obvious reasons
And this Chinese academic said we have studied your culture for decades and we’ve only now finally to come to understand the source of its strength it is the Christian faith that’s why they’ve targeted it did you know that tiktok is banned in China all the crap that is being
Pipelined into your child’s head on that app the Chinese themselves do not allow in China those are regulate how long they’d actually be on social media try to give them educational things and so on China’s not a great country but they recognize that what they’re doing
Is trying to unband in China by the way but they recognize that what they’re doing in feeding nonsense through social media Tick Tock in particular to the west and to Western children is they realize that they’re undermining our society as a whole they’re weakening us because they recognize that the
Christian faith is the source of our strength and anything they can do to assault that they’re going to do so what you’re seeing at the White House and in schools and in entertainment in all of it is an attempt to destroy existing moral social and political paradigms and
This isn’t by the way really ultimately about sex it is about power this is about power it’s about taking power sex is being used in order to seize power get rid of the stigma that rightfully is associated with homosexuality in the LGBT movement that
Was a goal and the way to do that is to try to mainstream it in previous generations it existed but it existed in the kind of the dark dark corners of society it uh it existed in in places that people didn’t talk about and they said
You know what we have to do is we have to change the way people talk about homosexuality now these people know it’s a perversion they do know that they know that it is an attack on God I love the way will Durant put it in his 11 volume work on the history of
Civilization is a historian from a generation ago a couple of generations now I guess he said this and talking about the fall of Greece in the fall of Athens he said when the Athenians no longer wanted to give to society but for society to give to them
When the freedom they longed for was the freedom from responsibility Athens ceased to be free Athens ceased to be free that’s the direction we’re headed in because we no longer see Freedom as having any guard rails on it we no longer see it as requiring individual responsibility
We’re trying to tell uh you know all women they have no responsibility for their actions no responsibility for your choices black people no responsibility for your actions no responsibility for your choices and hence the cultural Marxist understood the way to sneak into Western Society our ideology is under
The guise the LIE of freedom and privacy and thus we can mainstream the lgbtq agenda and thus we can begin to pervert Western sexual ethics and along with it Western ethics as a whole and along with it the destruction of our great enemy the Christian faith as I’ve
Said before I mean and as Neil Ferguson has observed at Harvard University that Christianity has served as the bulwark against barbarism against dangerous ideologies that overtook much of the world even Europe but not the United States and hence the fact the United States has been seen as a beacon of freedom
But all of that is changing the other question becomes where is the church in all of this do you ever find yourself I mean I think to myself we have a saying in the South you know you can’t sling a dead cat without hitting something in this case in the South you can’t
Sling a dead cat without hitting a mega church you just can’t they’re all over the place if I make a church I’m talking churches that are say a thousand or more people and there are many of them they’re much bigger than that and in America in general there’s a
Church you know within the city centers there’s a church on almost every street corner that’s it that a culture in which according to puforum 26 of the population self-identify as Evangelical Christians that is to say they are the people who’s spilling my coffee they’re the people who answered in the affirmative to
Questions like do you believe there’s a heaven in hell do you believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven do you believe this that and the other are sins do you believe that the Bible is God’s word do you believe that Satan exists these kinds of questions 26 of the
American population answered in the so one in four of Americans who are Evangelical Christians according to that number and yet our impact on the culture is minimal how is that possible I think it has to do with the way Christians engage and the way they understand the issues and I
Want to illustrate this with something that I call the British fighting Square now again I’m a historian and so I uh sometimes a no obscure obscure things like this but the British in the 17th 18th 19th centuries they used something that became quite famous a military tactic that was called the Fighting
Square the British fighting square and that is to say where infantry would get into a square maybe two ranks three ranks deep with the men in front you know on their knees their rifles pointing outward all the way around the square and the command center right in the middle of the square
And they found that the fighting Square was very effective against cavalry in vocabulary charges and it was very very effective against Superior numbers the British conquered much of Africa using the fighting Square against overwhelming numbers they used it because it was highly organized and the guys in front once
They fired were talking muzzle loading era of weapons that would that would eventually change those guys would move to the back and the guys in the back would move forward and drop to a knee and they would fire and again and again they just keep loading it it was just a
Constant rate of fire and the so long as the square remained intact it was it was almost impossible to break and Napoleon at Waterloo he sent his Cavalry again and again against the British fighting squares and he couldn’t break them and it led to his defeats
I want to use that in the light of Mark 12 30. Mark 12 30 says this and you shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your mind and with all of your strength heart soul mind and strength strength is
Just another way of saying with your body now I want to illustrate something for you right here in the way I think about this and that relates to the discussion that we’re having right now so this is in Mark 12 30 and you shall love the Lord your God
With all your heart soul mind and strength so the British fighting Square well it was a square so it had four sides you know and the heart soul mind is strength this is the four-fold person it’s it’s the the the the the every aspect of of a human being so the
The heart forms one side the heart soul mind and strength which is to say the body and so this represents the square is represented by um by each aspect of Mark 12 30. now let’s think of some Ministries that deal with each one of those well what deals with the with the
Soul well the institutional Church does you know with the preaching of the word and with the distribution of the sacraments none of these others do that what what kind of Ministries deal with the heart well I think specifically of counseling Ministries that do that and by the way there’s some overlap with
With each of these there’s you know there’s no exclusivity here what are some Ministries that deal with the body well I think of benevolence Ministries um you know soup kitchens and medical missions teams they’re dealing specifically with the body and then what deals with the Mind well apologetics organizations deal with that
And uh certainly a a solid preacher does some of that my work does some of that dealing with the mind but you see the British fighting Square only worked so long as it remained a square if any one of these sides collapsed the whole thing was done now my argument is this
When the Lord told us to love the Lord your God with all your heart soul mind and strength I think the church after 1859 after the publication of the Origin of Species began retreating from this side of the square and the result was that this side of the
Square broke and the enemy has been pouring in ever since and it jeopardized the whole of the square and that is because we began retreating from Christianity even began taking on a kind of anti-intellectual element you’ve probably met those kind of Christians who are very anti-intel oh I don’t need
To know that don’t need to worry about that what was happening in churches after World War II throughout the Cold War you would think the churches would occasionally begin addressing issues like Marxism like socialism like um you know intersectionality like critical race Theory critical theory that we would be a black lives matter
All these kinds of issues but the church by and large hasn’t been dealing with those issues and the result is that this side of the square of the four-fold person and of the church as a whole has collapsed and the only way to regain the culture is to rebuild it there’s a very
Important aspect of all of this once the church began moving away from Doctrine from sound Doctrine from The Sound preaching and teaching of the word from exegetical preaching expositional preaching and teaching book verse by verse book by book the result was that people didn’t actually know their Bibles particularly well
And we’ve moved from being Christians who were rooted in sound Doctrine who were rooted in truth to becoming christian-ish many people who call themselves Christians these days they’re not anchored in anything in particularly certainly not God’s word they are actually blown around by The Winds of Christian sentimentality Christian sentiment christian-ish ideas
And hence those ideas cultural marxists know or easily hijacked as I have said these kinds of things the church itself can be sock puppeted by Marxist that is to say it Remains The Brick and Mortar institution that has a steeple on it even people up front that have vestments
On and who are doing all of the the things that you would expect a pastor a priest to do but at its core the engine of the church of the Gospel of the Christian faith which is to say the word of God has been completely removed or let’s just say
It’s being selectively preached for an agenda and for a particular end and that is what’s happened so you’re wondering how do we get here well this is how we got here the square broke it’s just like you know you hear the phrase you know chain is only as strong as its weakest
Link square is only strong as its weakest side and once one side collapses all the other sides fall with it so your faith must consist of heart heart soul mind and strength it must be all of those and the church itself must be all of those the four-fold aspects of the human being
And we’ve neglected aspects of this and the result is now you’re starting to see neglect in the other ones it’s not like the other three sides have remained intact well we’re still doing a great job of benevolence we’re still doing a great job with counseling Ministries we’re still doing a great job
In our pulpits nope we aren’t we aren’t we are seeing we are seeing children which have traditionally been celebrated and protected as Innocents within our culture are now the targets of perversion there’s no question benevolence benevolence been hijacked utterly divorced from the gospel I think that began with the with Grace Society
In the 1960s where a lot of Christians began to think of their tax dollars as their tithe if your tithe is not coupled with the gospel it’s not a tithe it’s just citizens and I promise you when the state hands out resources to people it doesn’t say this comes to you from the
Good Christian people of the United States of America that’s not what they’re doing it’s not a tithe and how about seeing to the hearts of people are we doing a good job there counseling Ministries are being hijacked in a very big way poses as Christian but it isn’t Christian it increasingly looks like
Social justice Warrior nonsense and that’s what’s happening in the pulpits as well which is the exact opposite of the Christian faith social justice so-called is about retribution not about Grace not about forgiveness not about restoration it is about vengeance it is about power and that has nothing to do with the gospel and
It’s the reason that guys like lukash he didn’t have my my broken Square analogy and by the way it is mine feel free to use it but give proper attribution he didn’t have this but he was thinking like this how do we breach the square of the West and how do
We break it and he decided the way to do it is through the intellect and he says because the Western mind is increasingly weak they’re no longer being taught their history they’re no longer being taught the Bible they’re no longer being taught Great Western literature that can put
Put rebar straight through a child giving them strength when the the The Winds of adversity blow against them they’re no longer getting that and the result is that they’re vulnerable there because we can hijack the Christian faith and tell them that perversions are in fact Christian they’re good they’re Noble they’re true
They’re the kinds of things that the men who stormed ashore it Normandy on D-Day we’re fighting for I promise you my father was not fighting for a gay flag hanging on the White House he wasn’t fighting for the kind of sexual perversion that took place at the White House this past week wasn’t
Fighting for that that’s yours were either generations of Western children Americans Europeans have been rightly taught about the Holocaust and about the rise of fascism in a Adolf Hitler German school children were required before they graduated they had to go to a concentration camp they had to see
At least one before they graduated high school I’ve seen them I’ve seen the school children in the camps I’ve been to many of the camps myself I’ve been to book involved and Dachau several times Auschwitz a couple of times middle by Dora mouth housing others probably and sometimes you see the school
Children there rightly generations of school children were taught this and they were taught the evils of this they were taught the evils of discrimination singling people out and seeking to destroy them you know what is now happening with this movement is if you think if you think of
It like a like a stampede you know all generations of children have all been taught the Holocaust is wrong what the lgbtq mafia is doing is it’s like one of those old westerns where they’re redirecting the Stampede into you know in another way they’re weaponizing the Stampede for
Something else and they are now teaching those same children that the victims of the Holocaust were really the lgbtq crowd and the persecutors guess what they were the Maga hat wearing people they’re redirecting think of the wickedness of this they haven’t been able to completely get
Away with it yet because there are still a number of Holocaust Survivors alive not a lot of them but there are enough that won’t go along with that but they’re slowly trying to redirect that and change The Narrative of World War II and the heroic efforts of the victors of World War II
To being about trans and lgbtq rights my wife and I decided to watch recently so start watching it looked like it was interesting on Netflix a show called transatlantic trans is right Varian fry was an American who with the help of American philanthropist managed to get a number of Jewish intellectuals artists
Performers out of Europe smuggle them out of Europe and I thought you know this would be very interesting um I’m interested in Varian Frye there was a movie a generation ago with William Hurt in it that was about Varian Frye this film however does what I’ve noticed
A lot of um movies are doing these days they hook you in early on with a story you get a couple of episodes in and then they reveal to you a sick sorted agenda they wait until you like it and then they sneak in and this they made variant fry a homosexual
Varian fries two wives and his biographer both say this complete nonsense his son has come out who’s obviously a progressive and who didn’t know his father by his own admission fearing for I died when he was nine and that is to say when his son was nine and he was
Gone much of the time but I think the wives would know you’d think a wife would know if he was gay the biographer says he’s interviewed loads of Varian fries friends and colleagues none of whom have said that he was homosexual but guess what they’ve done the people at Netflix decided we’re
Going to make him gay and we’re going to make him gay to support our assorted agenda this is cultural Marxism this is what this is about and it should offend you and ladies and gentlemen if you’re not offended by what happened at the White House this past week if you are not offended
By the in your face tactics of the lgbtq mafia there’s something wrong with you and you should worry you should worry about yourself and about your own soul pedophilia is being mainstreamed and I’m reminded of and I will end with another passage of scripture that I encourage
You to go and read and in Ezekiel chapter 9 the Lord tells an angel to go through Jerusalem Jerusalem have become these were God’s people these were people who knew the truth they’ve been taught the truth they’ve been warned of the truth but now they were engaging in sexual perversion
And child sacrifice and the worship of other gods sound familiar that’s where we are bear in mind that Ezekiel was a contemporary with Daniel and also with Jeremiah Daniel Jeremiah are taken away into uh into Exile but Jeremiah remained to preach and to condemn to warn in the hope of saving some
But God is foretelling in Ezekiel chapter 9 the punishment the hammer is about to fall the ax is about to fall on Jerusalem and he tells an angel who has a little book and he says go through the city and put a mark on the forehead of all
The people who groan who grieve over the sin that is taking place in the city put a mark on their foreheads and then it says that he called forth six executioners also Angels presumably and he says take your swords and go through the city and execute anyone upon whom there is no
Mark he says to them that they should begin they should begin at the altar they should begin with the house of God in other words with the priests begin with those people who are leading my people in false worship begin with them now you don’t have to believe that
You listen to this podcast you may say oh Larry believes in a fairy god you know you believe what you want I can point you in the right direction I can’t force you to go in the right direction I’ll just simply tell you that in Progressive pulpits the god of Daniel
Daniel chapter 5 and Ezekiel 9 is not being preached and he is a real God and he takes these things very seriously and and the desecration of holy things the god of the Bible to I’m preaching to you today and I really set out to do so
But I feel very passionate on this the desecration of holy things the god of the Bible takes very seriously and if you think he doesn’t take seriously the the war against innocence the war against children I’m here to promise you that he does some of you you’re looking for Hope well
There’s much reason for hope we serve a great God we serve the God who said let there be light so I leave you with this bit of Hope I have said that there are churches on just about every street corner in America that you can’t sling in the
Southern vernacular a dead cat without hitting a mega church and they’re having a minimal influence that perhaps sounds very depressing but I think that what’s happening is that the Lord is separating the sheep from the goats if you’re groaning over this if you are grieved by the sin of this nation by
Your own sin by my own sin that I would say the holy spirit is at work in you and you have reason to Hope and I would also say this means you’re a sheep by the way not a goat but I also tell you this Jesus converted an Empire with 12.
He changed an Empire with 12. what could he do with roughly 26 percent of Americans who say they believe in his word if those people were motivated and equipped to engage the culture what we’re seeing in the culture right now ladies and gentlemen is the tail wagging
The dog part of the Marxist tactic is to make you feel defeated and depressed and demoralized do not do not we serve a grape and mighty God and I believe that he is prepared now if we grieve and groan over these things and we say Here I Am Lord send me he’s
Prepared even now to act on our behalf and on behalf of this nation
