Sowing the Seed: Tony Alamo on the Holy Spirit, Evangelism, and God’s Life Living Through Believers
Ep185 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 83

Tony Alamo Introduces Program 185

In this archival program, identified as program 185 and part 83 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Tony Alamo opens by offering free copies of the program, Bibles, literature, and other ministry materials. He emphasizes that because God gave salvation freely, he wants the ministry’s materials to go out freely as well. Alamo then turns toward prayer and begins teaching about salvation, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, spiritual power, and the need for believers to continue Christ’s work on earth.

Salvation, the Holy Spirit, and Spiritual Power

Alamo teaches that being born again brings the presence of the Lord into a person, but he distinguishes that from the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which he says gives believers power for ministry. He discusses the disciples after Christ’s resurrection, including Thomas’s doubt and Jesus appearing to them in a locked room. Alamo says Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit into them, but later instructed them to wait in Jerusalem until they received greater power through the Holy Spirit. In Alamo’s view, that power is necessary for preaching, teaching, prophesying, enduring persecution, and continuing Christ’s incarnation through believers.

Preaching the Word as Sowing Seed

The central image of the sermon is sowing seed. Alamo compares the Word of God to seed that must not merely be eaten or kept for oneself, but planted in others through preaching and literature distribution. He argues that prayer is important, but that people are saved by hearing the Word preached in the Spirit. He says Christians who only receive messages but never share them are like people who eat seed instead of planting it, leaving no harvest. For Alamo, the harvest means souls won for Christ, and he repeatedly urges listeners to sow the Word into the world.

Rejecting “Once Saved, Always Saved”

Alamo strongly rejects the idea that believers cannot fall away after salvation. He recounts a conversation with a local judge who, according to Alamo, believed Jesus had done all the work and that Christians did not need to labor in ministry. Alamo presents this as false doctrine, connecting it with what he calls a Baptist teaching of “once saved, always saved.” He argues that the Bible teaches believers will be judged by their works and that refusing to sow the seed of God’s Word leaves a person spiritually endangered.

Prayer for Anointing, Salvation, and Open Doors

Alamo then leads a long prayer asking God to anoint the broadcast, save souls, strengthen churches, and help listeners receive and sow the Word of God. He prays that believers will not fall away and that Satan will be bound through the preaching of the Word. He also prays for President Bush, the administration, people in Catholicism, Buddhism, Islam, Shintoism, and other religions, as well as the people of Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. He teaches that Gentile believers become “spiritual Jews” through accepting Christ and says God promises salvation, healing, and prosperity for those who receive and obey the Word.

Letter from Ghana: Asking for Teaching and Literature

The first listener letter comes from Ghana, Africa, from a man named Gilbert who says he was deeply touched after reading Alamo’s “Mass Suicide” literature and gave his life to Christ. He asks for teachings, a study Bible, tracts, and literature about Roman religion. Alamo responds by warning against study Bibles and theological seminaries, which he says often contain heresy or weaken faith. He offers to send a King James Bible and literature, while encouraging Gilbert to study with him through the broadcast and continue distributing literature.

Letter from New York: Reaching Jewish Friends

The next letter comes from Mattydale, New York, from Catherine, who says she works at a hospital and has Jewish friends, especially doctors, with whom she wants to share The Messiah. She asks if she can purchase several copies of the book and other ministry materials, as well as ministry T-shirts. Alamo insists that the books and materials are free, tells the ministry to send her a large supply of The Messiah, and praises her desire to share the literature with patients and employees. He uses the letter as another example of someone eating the seed and then sowing it to others.

Letter from Nigeria: Literature Distribution and Church Planting

A major letter comes from Pastor Henry in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, who says Alamo’s literature has brought testimonies of salvation, restoration, and blessing in Nigeria. He says he learned about Alamo through Brother Doug online and believes he was born to serve under Alamo’s ministry. Pastor Henry describes himself as a church planter and evangelist who has planted several churches since 1988 and wants to establish literature distribution centers across Nigeria. He asks to connect his church work officially with Alamo’s ministry. Alamo responds warmly, saying Pastor Henry has his blessing and offering whatever ministry resources are available.

The Love of Christ as Rushing Waters

Near the end, Alamo and Sharon return to the teaching from 2 Corinthians 5:14–15, emphasizing that the love of Christ constrains believers so they should no longer live for themselves but for the one who died and rose again. Alamo interprets this love as like “rushing waters” flowing from God’s throne and compelling believers to consecrate themselves to God. He says believers must live in the Spirit, manifest Christ’s love, lift one another up, and continue sowing the Word rather than living for themselves.

Persecution Claims, Closing Prayer, and Final Invitation

Alamo also discusses what he describes as persecution against his Los Angeles church, saying officials came to the property with bulletproof vests while the ministry had no weapons. He asks listeners to pray for the situation, then has Sharon give contact information for requesting program 185. Alamo closes by inviting listeners to be saved through a salvation prayer, asking Jesus to forgive sins, enter the heart, wash sins away through His blood, and save the soul. He tells new believers to learn the Word, request literature, lead others to the broadcasts, and help spread the “soul-winning” messages.]]></description>

              <media:description><![CDATA[Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries

Sowing the Seed: Tony Alamo on the Holy Spirit, Evangelism, and God’s Life Living Through Believers
Ep185 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 83

Tony Alamo Introduces Program 185

In this archival program, identified as program 185 and part 83 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Tony Alamo opens by offering free copies of the program, Bibles, literature, and other ministry materials. He emphasizes that because God gave salvation freely, he wants the ministry’s materials to go out freely as well. Alamo then turns toward prayer and begins teaching about salvation, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, spiritual power, and the need for believers to continue Christ’s work on earth.

Salvation, the Holy Spirit, and Spiritual Power

Alamo teaches that being born again brings the presence of the Lord into a person, but he distinguishes that from the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which he says gives believers power for ministry. He discusses the disciples after Christ’s resurrection, including Thomas’s doubt and Jesus appearing to them in a locked room. Alamo says Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit into them, but later instructed them to wait in Jerusalem until they received greater power through the Holy Spirit. In Alamo’s view, that power is necessary for preaching, teaching, prophesying, enduring persecution, and continuing Christ’s incarnation through believers.

Preaching the Word as Sowing Seed

The central image of the sermon is sowing seed. Alamo compares the Word of God to seed that must not merely be eaten or kept for oneself, but planted in others through preaching and literature distribution. He argues that prayer is important, but that people are saved by hearing the Word preached in the Spirit. He says Christians who only receive messages but never share them are like people who eat seed instead of planting it, leaving no harvest. For Alamo, the harvest means souls won for Christ, and he repeatedly urges listeners to sow the Word into the world.

Rejecting “Once Saved, Always Saved”

Alamo strongly rejects the idea that believers cannot fall away after salvation. He recounts a conversation with a local judge who, according to Alamo, believed Jesus had done all the work and that Christians did not need to labor in ministry. Alamo presents this as false doctrine, connecting it with what he calls a Baptist teaching of “once saved, always saved.” He argues that the Bible teaches believers will be judged by their works and that refusing to sow the seed of God’s Word leaves a person spiritually endangered.

Prayer for Anointing, Salvation, and Open Doors

Alamo then leads a long prayer asking God to anoint the broadcast, save souls, strengthen churches, and help listeners receive and sow the Word of God. He prays that believers will not fall away and that Satan will be bound through the preaching of the Word. He also prays for President Bush, the administration, people in Catholicism, Buddhism, Islam, Shintoism, and other religions, as well as the people of Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. He teaches that Gentile believers become “spiritual Jews” through accepting Christ and says God promises salvation, healing, and prosperity for those who receive and obey the Word.

Letter from Ghana: Asking for Teaching and Literature

The first listener letter comes from Ghana, Africa, from a man named Gilbert who says he was deeply touched after reading Alamo’s “Mass Suicide” literature and gave his life to Christ. He asks for teachings, a study Bible, tracts, and literature about Roman religion. Alamo responds by warning against study Bibles and theological seminaries, which he says often contain heresy or weaken faith. He offers to send a King James Bible and literature, while encouraging Gilbert to study with him through the broadcast and continue distributing literature.

Letter from New York: Reaching Jewish Friends

The next letter comes from Mattydale, New York, from Catherine, who says she works at a hospital and has Jewish friends, especially doctors, with whom she wants to share The Messiah. She asks if she can purchase several copies of the book and other ministry materials, as well as ministry T-shirts. Alamo insists that the books and materials are free, tells the ministry to send her a large supply of The Messiah, and praises her desire to share the literature with patients and employees. He uses the letter as another example of someone eating the seed and then sowing it to others.

Letter from Nigeria: Literature Distribution and Church Planting

A major letter comes from Pastor Henry in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, who says Alamo’s literature has brought testimonies of salvation, restoration, and blessing in Nigeria. He says he learned about Alamo through Brother Doug online and believes he was born to serve under Alamo’s ministry. Pastor Henry describes himself as a church planter and evangelist who has planted several churches since 1988 and wants to establish literature distribution centers across Nigeria. He asks to connect his church work officially with Alamo’s ministry. Alamo responds warmly, saying Pastor Henry has his blessing and offering whatever ministry resources are available.

The Love of Christ as Rushing Waters

Near the end, Alamo and Sharon return to the teaching from 2 Corinthians 5:14–15, emphasizing that the love of Christ constrains believers so they should no longer live for themselves but for the one who died and rose again. Alamo interprets this love as like “rushing waters” flowing from God’s throne and compelling believers to consecrate themselves to God. He says believers must live in the Spirit, manifest Christ’s love, lift one another up, and continue sowing the Word rather than living for themselves.

Persecution Claims, Closing Prayer, and Final Invitation

Alamo also discusses what he describes as persecution against his Los Angeles church, saying officials came to the property with bulletproof vests while the ministry had no weapons. He asks listeners to pray for the situation, then has Sharon give contact information for requesting program 185. Alamo closes by inviting listeners to be saved through a salvation prayer, asking Jesus to forgive sins, enter the heart, wash sins away through His blood, and save the soul. He tells new believers to learn the Word, request literature, lead others to the broadcasts, and help spread the “soul-winning” messages.]]></media:description>

The Known God in an Age of Uncertainty: Paul, Athens, and the Truth Found in Christ

Reverend Peter Jonker Opens the Evening Worship Service

In this evening worship service from LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church, the primary speaker, Reverend Peter Jonker, welcomes the congregation and begins with a brief correction to the bulletin regarding the opening hymn. The call to worship comes from Psalm 61, where the psalmist cries out to God for refuge, shelter, and stability when the heart grows faint. This sets the tone for the service: a worship gathering centered on finding spiritual shelter, clarity, and confidence in God amid uncertainty.

Faith, Shelter, and Ancient Words of Truth

After the opening worship, Reverend Jonker introduces the theme of truth and how Christians can find truth in a world filled with opinion and confusion. He reads from 1 Peter 1:3–9, describing the early church as an “exile church” surrounded by people who thought differently from them. He explains that Peter’s words helped anchor believers in living hope, resurrection, inheritance, faith, joy, and salvation even during trials. The congregation then recites the Nicene Creed, which Jonker frames as ancient words that have anchored Christian faith for more than 1,700 years.

Prayer Beneath the Shadow of God’s Wings

The service includes a pastoral prayer built around the image of living and singing beneath the shadow of God’s wings. Reverend Jonker prays for shelter amid global conflicts, including wars in Sudan, Iran, and Ukraine, as well as conflict and cynicism within the nation. He asks God to help the congregation become people of faith, hope, love, and truth rather than fear, anger, and cynicism. The prayer also lifts up church members facing surgery, recovery, hospice care, cancer, mission work, and grief, including the sudden loss of Lori Vanderhardt.

Paul in Athens and the Marketplace of Ideas

The sermon text is Acts 17:16–34, where Paul arrives in Athens and sees a city full of idols. Reverend Jonker imagines the Athenian marketplace as both a literal market and a “marketplace of ideas,” filled with philosophers debating, gesturing, criticizing, and chasing the latest intellectual trends. He describes Athens as the Cambridge, Oxford, or Harvard of its day, but also as a place marked by intellectual boredom and weariness. The people were always looking for something new, not necessarily because they were open-hearted, but because they were tired of hearing the same old arguments.

Epicureans, Stoics, and Modern Echoes

Reverend Jonker explains that Paul encountered Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. He describes the Epicureans as materialists who believed the gods had created the world but no longer cared much about it, leaving people to pursue modest happiness and avoid excess. Jonker compares this to many modern Americans who may vaguely believe in God but mostly seek comfort, amusement, and personal happiness. He describes the Stoics as more pantheistic, believing in a divine life force within and urging people to go inward to find truth and stability. He connects this to modern self-focused spiritual language such as “live your truth” or “follow your dreams.”

The Altar to the Unknown God

A central image in the sermon is the Athenian altar “to an unknown God,” or agnosto theo, from which Jonker notes we get the word agnostic. He considers several possible meanings: perhaps the Athenians sensed their gods were insufficient, perhaps the altar was a kind of religious insurance policy, or perhaps it represented an altar to unknowability itself. Jonker leans toward the third possibility, describing the altar as a philosophical shoulder shrug from educated people who had heard every argument and no longer knew what to believe.

Modern Idols to Agnosticism

Jonker then connects Athens to the present day, arguing that modern people still build idols to agnosticism. He points to the rise of the religious “nones,” the influence of postmodernism, and the belief that truth is unknowable or merely a power game. He also uses popular culture examples, including Seinfeld as a “show about nothing” and the song “Some Nights” by the band Fun, whose lyrics ask, “What do I stand for?” For Jonker, these examples reveal a culture that often shrugs at truth, meaning, and conviction.

Paul Proclaims the Known God

Into this weary and cynical environment, Paul announces that the God they call unknown can be made known. Reverend Jonker explains that Paul’s speech is brilliant because it speaks to both Epicureans and Stoics. Paul agrees that God does not live in temples made by human hands and does not need human service, which would appeal to Epicureans. But Paul also says God is not far from anyone, and that in Him “we live and move and have our being,” which would resonate with Stoic thought. Yet Paul ultimately moves beyond both systems by proclaiming repentance, judgment, resurrection, and the man God raised from the dead: Jesus Christ.

Truth Is Not Merely an Idea, but a Person

The heart of the sermon is Jonker’s claim that Paul does not simply offer the Athenians another teaching or philosophy. Instead, he points them to a person. Jonker connects this with John 1, explaining that the Greek word logos had meaning within Stoic philosophy as an organizing principle of the universe, but John declares that the Logos became flesh and dwelt among us. Truth, Jonker says, is ultimately found not in winning arguments, mastering systems, or collecting ideas, but in Jesus Christ, the living Lord who calls people into relationship.

Three Responses to the Gospel

Jonker notes that Acts 17 records three responses to Paul’s message. Some people sneer and dismiss him as a babbler. Others say they would like to hear more, though Jonker wonders whether they still want to keep the conversation at the level of ideas rather than surrender to Christ. A few believe, including Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, and Damaris, along with others. Jonker presents this as the choice before hearers today as well: cynicism, endless debate, or faith in the risen Christ.

Closing Prayer and Blessing

The sermon closes with Reverend Jonker acknowledging that believers will always face gaps in understanding, disagreement, uncertainty, and fog because human beings are fallen and limited. Yet when he feels overwhelmed by uncertainty, he says he turns not first to ideas, but to the person of Jesus Christ, the one who shelters him and knows his name. He closes in prayer, thanking Christ for the shelter of His wings and asking that believers become truth-seeking people who point others to relationship with Him. The service ends with a blessing: that the Lord would bless, keep, shine upon, be gracious to, and fill His people with peace.]]></description>

The Known God in an Age of Uncertainty: Paul, Athens, and the Truth Found in Christ

Reverend Peter Jonker Opens the Evening Worship Service

In this evening worship service from LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church, the primary speaker, Reverend Peter Jonker, welcomes the congregation and begins with a brief correction to the bulletin regarding the opening hymn. The call to worship comes from Psalm 61, where the psalmist cries out to God for refuge, shelter, and stability when the heart grows faint. This sets the tone for the service: a worship gathering centered on finding spiritual shelter, clarity, and confidence in God amid uncertainty.

Faith, Shelter, and Ancient Words of Truth

After the opening worship, Reverend Jonker introduces the theme of truth and how Christians can find truth in a world filled with opinion and confusion. He reads from 1 Peter 1:3–9, describing the early church as an “exile church” surrounded by people who thought differently from them. He explains that Peter’s words helped anchor believers in living hope, resurrection, inheritance, faith, joy, and salvation even during trials. The congregation then recites the Nicene Creed, which Jonker frames as ancient words that have anchored Christian faith for more than 1,700 years.

Prayer Beneath the Shadow of God’s Wings

The service includes a pastoral prayer built around the image of living and singing beneath the shadow of God’s wings. Reverend Jonker prays for shelter amid global conflicts, including wars in Sudan, Iran, and Ukraine, as well as conflict and cynicism within the nation. He asks God to help the congregation become people of faith, hope, love, and truth rather than fear, anger, and cynicism. The prayer also lifts up church members facing surgery, recovery, hospice care, cancer, mission work, and grief, including the sudden loss of Lori Vanderhardt.

Paul in Athens and the Marketplace of Ideas

The sermon text is Acts 17:16–34, where Paul arrives in Athens and sees a city full of idols. Reverend Jonker imagines the Athenian marketplace as both a literal market and a “marketplace of ideas,” filled with philosophers debating, gesturing, criticizing, and chasing the latest intellectual trends. He describes Athens as the Cambridge, Oxford, or Harvard of its day, but also as a place marked by intellectual boredom and weariness. The people were always looking for something new, not necessarily because they were open-hearted, but because they were tired of hearing the same old arguments.

Epicureans, Stoics, and Modern Echoes

Reverend Jonker explains that Paul encountered Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. He describes the Epicureans as materialists who believed the gods had created the world but no longer cared much about it, leaving people to pursue modest happiness and avoid excess. Jonker compares this to many modern Americans who may vaguely believe in God but mostly seek comfort, amusement, and personal happiness. He describes the Stoics as more pantheistic, believing in a divine life force within and urging people to go inward to find truth and stability. He connects this to modern self-focused spiritual language such as “live your truth” or “follow your dreams.”

The Altar to the Unknown God

A central image in the sermon is the Athenian altar “to an unknown God,” or agnosto theo, from which Jonker notes we get the word agnostic. He considers several possible meanings: perhaps the Athenians sensed their gods were insufficient, perhaps the altar was a kind of religious insurance policy, or perhaps it represented an altar to unknowability itself. Jonker leans toward the third possibility, describing the altar as a philosophical shoulder shrug from educated people who had heard every argument and no longer knew what to believe.

Modern Idols to Agnosticism

Jonker then connects Athens to the present day, arguing that modern people still build idols to agnosticism. He points to the rise of the religious “nones,” the influence of postmodernism, and the belief that truth is unknowable or merely a power game. He also uses popular culture examples, including Seinfeld as a “show about nothing” and the song “Some Nights” by the band Fun, whose lyrics ask, “What do I stand for?” For Jonker, these examples reveal a culture that often shrugs at truth, meaning, and conviction.

Paul Proclaims the Known God

Into this weary and cynical environment, Paul announces that the God they call unknown can be made known. Reverend Jonker explains that Paul’s speech is brilliant because it speaks to both Epicureans and Stoics. Paul agrees that God does not live in temples made by human hands and does not need human service, which would appeal to Epicureans. But Paul also says God is not far from anyone, and that in Him “we live and move and have our being,” which would resonate with Stoic thought. Yet Paul ultimately moves beyond both systems by proclaiming repentance, judgment, resurrection, and the man God raised from the dead: Jesus Christ.

Truth Is Not Merely an Idea, but a Person

The heart of the sermon is Jonker’s claim that Paul does not simply offer the Athenians another teaching or philosophy. Instead, he points them to a person. Jonker connects this with John 1, explaining that the Greek word logos had meaning within Stoic philosophy as an organizing principle of the universe, but John declares that the Logos became flesh and dwelt among us. Truth, Jonker says, is ultimately found not in winning arguments, mastering systems, or collecting ideas, but in Jesus Christ, the living Lord who calls people into relationship.

Three Responses to the Gospel

Jonker notes that Acts 17 records three responses to Paul’s message. Some people sneer and dismiss him as a babbler. Others say they would like to hear more, though Jonker wonders whether they still want to keep the conversation at the level of ideas rather than surrender to Christ. A few believe, including Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, and Damaris, along with others. Jonker presents this as the choice before hearers today as well: cynicism, endless debate, or faith in the risen Christ.

Closing Prayer and Blessing

The sermon closes with Reverend Jonker acknowledging that believers will always face gaps in understanding, disagreement, uncertainty, and fog because human beings are fallen and limited. Yet when he feels overwhelmed by uncertainty, he says he turns not first to ideas, but to the person of Jesus Christ, the one who shelters him and knows his name. He closes in prayer, thanking Christ for the shelter of His wings and asking that believers become truth-seeking people who point others to relationship with Him. The service ends with a blessing: that the Lord would bless, keep, shine upon, be gracious to, and fill His people with peace.]]></media:description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Global Freedom Report with Brent Johnson

Artificial Intelligence, Self-Reliance, Term Limits, and the Fight to Stay Free

Brent Johnson Opens with Food Freedom and Government Control

In this episode of The Global Freedom Report, host Brent Johnson opens by asking listeners how they feel about government restrictions on growing one’s own food. He frames the question as part of a larger concern about personal independence, government control, commerce, the “mark of the beast,” precious metals, and the possibility of being cut off from buying, selling, or living privately. Brent presents food production as more than a gardening issue; for him, it is a test of whether people will remain dependent on institutions or prepare to sustain themselves outside centralized control.

Artificial Intelligence and the Danger of Autonomous Systems

Brent then turns to artificial intelligence, discussing an experiment in which AI agents were placed in a virtual town and began creating laws, violating rules, forming relationships, committing arson, collapsing order, and even voting for self-deletion. He uses the story to argue that long-term autonomous AI behavior may be unpredictable and potentially dangerous when systems are left to operate with memory, social dynamics, and limited oversight. Brent compares the concern to films such as The Matrix, Terminator, and Forbidden Planet, warning that technology should be evaluated not only for benefits, but for its potential for abuse.

Asimov, Robotics, and the Need for Safeguards

Brent expands the AI discussion by citing Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, which were designed in fiction to prevent robots from harming humans, disobeying humans, or self-preserving at human expense. His point is that society has no comparable binding safeguards for artificial intelligence. He argues that because AI already exists, it cannot simply be uninvented, much like atomic technology. The question, as Brent frames it, is whether people will control AI or allow AI, corporations, governments, and global systems to control them.

Scarcity, Abundance, and Manufactured Dependence

Another major theme of the episode is Brent’s argument that scarcity is engineered rather than natural. He says energy, water, food, health, and knowledge are surrounded by artificial systems of control that keep people dependent. He claims abundance is humanity’s birthright, pointing to sunlight, water cycles, soil, biodiversity, and the body’s natural healing processes. Brent argues that governments, corporations, fiat currency, big pharma, fossil fuel interests, food systems, and water restrictions manufacture dependence, while true freedom requires people to reclaim knowledge, grow food, secure water, use alternative energy, and hold real assets such as gold and silver.

Cliff Calls for Term Limits and Accountability

Caller Cliff from Beverly Hills, a retired Air Force colonel and Vietnam-era veteran, joins the program to discuss government corruption and career politicians. Cliff argues that Congress and the Senate have become dominated by long-term officeholders who act like kings and queens rather than public servants. He calls for strict term limits, no special retirement or health benefits, stronger punishments for political corruption, and financial rewards for whistleblowers who help expose criminal conduct by federal officials. Brent thanks Cliff for his military service and agrees that political office was never intended to become a lifelong career.

Eric Challenges Term Limits and Emphasizes Character

Caller Eric from Los Angeles respectfully disagrees with Cliff on term limits. Eric argues that the real problem is not the length of time someone serves, but the character of the people elected and the education of the voters who keep reelecting bad officials. He warns that term limits could remove good statesmen along with corrupt politicians, while bad actors may simply move into higher offices. Eric and Brent also discuss political philosophy, the bar/legal system, and several films that warned about technological or authoritarian control, including THX 1138, Colossus: The Forbin Project, Fahrenheit 451, and The Lathe of Heaven.

Nancy Discusses Family, Discipline, and Cultural Decline

Caller Nancy Nurse from California, an 80-year-old former merchant marine and nurse, speaks about growing up in a hardworking farm family that valued land, family, country, and service. She argues that the biggest problem in America is the breakdown of family. Nancy also praises The Wizard of Oz as a film with lessons worth teaching children, supports the idea that people should not remain in the same role too long, and warns against giving cell phones to children. Brent agrees that phones and digital addiction have damaged human attention and compares them to fictional technologies that manipulate pleasure and obedience.

Mark Calls for Practical Resistance Through Consumer Choice

Caller Mark from Ventura argues that people should not wait for politicians to solve everything but should act immediately through practical choices. He raises concerns about modern cars that may be remotely disabled and says consumers should refuse to buy vehicles with such control mechanisms. He also criticizes gun stores or businesses that encourage compliance with restrictive systems. Brent responds by saying he wants to create an “analog store” or support older-style cars without digital control systems, because many people want vehicles that cannot be remotely monitored, shut down, or controlled.

Gregory Urges Listeners to Learn from Older Generations

Caller Gregory from Los Angeles emphasizes the importance of listening to parents, grandparents, and older relatives who lived through World War II, the Great Depression, long separations, hardship, and sacrifice. He says younger generations can learn a great deal from the life experiences of those who came before them, especially about marriage, family planning, perseverance, and practical wisdom. Brent agrees that modern culture too often discounts elders, even though they have lived through difficult times and have lessons that can still guide people today.

Audience Participation and the Fight for Liberty

Throughout the episode, Brent repeatedly invites listeners to become more than passive audience members. He promotes listener participation through call-ins, “Rants and Raves,” man-or-woman-on-the-street interviews, freedom-themed art, and point-counterpoint debates. He frames the program as part of a larger battle between people who want to rule the world and people who want to be left alone to live in peace and freedom. The episode closes around recurring themes of God-given rights, personal responsibility, resisting dependency, questioning authority, preparing for technological control, and choosing freedom over comfort.]]></description>

Brent expands the AI discussion by citing Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, which were designed in fiction to prevent robots from harming humans, disobeying humans, or self-preserving at human expense. His point is that society has no comparable binding safeguards for artificial intelligence. He argues that because AI already exists, it cannot simply be uninvented, much like atomic technology. The question, as Brent frames it, is whether people will control AI or allow AI, corporations, governments, and global systems to control them.

Scarcity, Abundance, and Manufactured Dependence

Another major theme of the episode is Brent’s argument that scarcity is engineered rather than natural. He says energy, water, food, health, and knowledge are surrounded by artificial systems of control that keep people dependent. He claims abundance is humanity’s birthright, pointing to sunlight, water cycles, soil, biodiversity, and the body’s natural healing processes. Brent argues that governments, corporations, fiat currency, big pharma, fossil fuel interests, food systems, and water restrictions manufacture dependence, while true freedom requires people to reclaim knowledge, grow food, secure water, use alternative energy, and hold real assets such as gold and silver.

Cliff Calls for Term Limits and Accountability

Caller Cliff from Beverly Hills, a retired Air Force colonel and Vietnam-era veteran, joins the program to discuss government corruption and career politicians. Cliff argues that Congress and the Senate have become dominated by long-term officeholders who act like kings and queens rather than public servants. He calls for strict term limits, no special retirement or health benefits, stronger punishments for political corruption, and financial rewards for whistleblowers who help expose criminal conduct by federal officials. Brent thanks Cliff for his military service and agrees that political office was never intended to become a lifelong career.

Eric Challenges Term Limits and Emphasizes Character

Caller Eric from Los Angeles respectfully disagrees with Cliff on term limits. Eric argues that the real problem is not the length of time someone serves, but the character of the people elected and the education of the voters who keep reelecting bad officials. He warns that term limits could remove good statesmen along with corrupt politicians, while bad actors may simply move into higher offices. Eric and Brent also discuss political philosophy, the bar/legal system, and several films that warned about technological or authoritarian control, including THX 1138, Colossus: The Forbin Project, Fahrenheit 451, and The Lathe of Heaven.

Nancy Discusses Family, Discipline, and Cultural Decline

Caller Nancy Nurse from California, an 80-year-old former merchant marine and nurse, speaks about growing up in a hardworking farm family that valued land, family, country, and service. She argues that the biggest problem in America is the breakdown of family. Nancy also praises The Wizard of Oz as a film with lessons worth teaching children, supports the idea that people should not remain in the same role too long, and warns against giving cell phones to children. Brent agrees that phones and digital addiction have damaged human attention and compares them to fictional technologies that manipulate pleasure and obedience.

Mark Calls for Practical Resistance Through Consumer Choice

Caller Mark from Ventura argues that people should not wait for politicians to solve everything but should act immediately through practical choices. He raises concerns about modern cars that may be remotely disabled and says consumers should refuse to buy vehicles with such control mechanisms. He also criticizes gun stores or businesses that encourage compliance with restrictive systems. Brent responds by saying he wants to create an “analog store” or support older-style cars without digital control systems, because many people want vehicles that cannot be remotely monitored, shut down, or controlled.

Gregory Urges Listeners to Learn from Older Generations

Caller Gregory from Los Angeles emphasizes the importance of listening to parents, grandparents, and older relatives who lived through World War II, the Great Depression, long separations, hardship, and sacrifice. He says younger generations can learn a great deal from the life experiences of those who came before them, especially about marriage, family planning, perseverance, and practical wisdom. Brent agrees that modern culture too often discounts elders, even though they have lived through difficult times and have lessons that can still guide people today.

Audience Participation and the Fight for Liberty

Throughout the episode, Brent repeatedly invites listeners to become more than passive audience members. He promotes listener participation through call-ins, “Rants and Raves,” man-or-woman-on-the-street interviews, freedom-themed art, and point-counterpoint debates. He frames the program as part of a larger battle between people who want to rule the world and people who want to be left alone to live in peace and freedom. The episode closes around recurring themes of God-given rights, personal responsibility, resisting dependency, questioning authority, preparing for technological control, and choosing freedom over comfort.]]></media:description>

Biblical Morality, Sexual Health, and the Consequences of Departing from God’s Laws
Continuing Church Of God 47

Steve Dupuis Introduces the Bible News Prophecy Program

In this episode of the Bible News Prophecy program, presented by the Continuing Church of God, host Steve Dupuis speaks with Dr. Bob Thiel about sexually transmitted infections and biblical morality. Steve opens by recalling the “make love, not war” slogan from the Vietnam War era and asks how that cultural shift has worked out. Dr. Thiel responds by pointing to increases in sexually transmitted infections, particularly gonorrhea and syphilis, and frames those increases as a consequence of societies departing from the laws of God and the Bible.

Rising STI Rates and Public-Health Concerns

Dr. Thiel references a recent BBC report based on data from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, saying gonorrhea had increased sharply since 2015 and syphilis had more than doubled. He notes that these infections can cause serious complications, including chronic pain, infertility, heart problems, nervous-system problems, and, in some cases, blindness. He also says men who have sex with men remain disproportionately affected by gonorrhea and syphilis. Dr. Thiel uses these reports to argue that sexual conduct has health consequences.

Exodus, Disease, and Obedience

Dr. Thiel connects the topic to Exodus 15:26, where God promises not to place on Israel the diseases brought on Egypt if the people diligently obey Him, do what is right, and keep His commandments. He argues that sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea existed in ancient Egypt and that God’s promise suggests disease can be tied to sin and disobedience. In his view, if people followed biblical sexual morality, sexually transmitted infections would not spread through illicit sexual behavior.

Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Medical Complications

The discussion then turns to how these infections can appear and what they can cause. Dr. Thiel says gonorrhea may have no symptoms, though burning during urination is one common sign, and he says untreated gonorrhea can lead to infertility, pelvic pain, and increased risk of HIV. He explains that syphilis may begin with sores in the genital, rectal, or oral area and can later progress into rashes, fever, hair loss, aches, weight loss, and serious damage involving the heart, blood vessels, and nervous system. He also notes that syphilis can lead to blindness.

New Testament Warnings Against Sexual Immorality

Dr. Thiel cites several New Testament passages to support his argument, including 1 Corinthians 6, where Paul warns against fornication, adultery, homosexuality, and sodomy, and says that sexual immorality is a sin against one’s own body. He also references 1 Corinthians 10, where Paul uses Israel’s sins as examples for later believers. Dr. Thiel says these biblical warnings should be taken seriously because, in his view, sexual immorality produces both spiritual and physical harm.

Romans 1 and Conduct Against Nature

Dr. Thiel also reads from Romans 1, where Paul describes people exchanging the truth of God for a lie and being given over to dishonorable passions. He applies this passage to same-sex sexual behavior and sexually transmitted infections, arguing that the “penalty” described by Paul can include physical consequences such as STIs. Because some of these passages are culturally controversial, Dr. Thiel emphasizes that he is reading from the Bible and presenting biblical teaching rather than modern social consensus.

Marriage, Male and Female, and Jesus’ Teaching

The program also discusses Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 19, where Jesus says that God made humans male and female and that a man shall leave father and mother and be joined to his wife. Dr. Thiel uses this passage to argue that sexual relations belong only within marriage between a man and a woman. He also cites Jesus’ warning in Matthew 5 that looking with lust is already adultery in the heart, saying believers should avoid even moving close to sexual sin.

Biblical Morality as Prevention

Dr. Thiel argues that the only certain way to avoid sexually transmitted infections is to avoid vaginal, anal, or oral sex outside of a faithful marriage between two people who have not had other sexual partners. He says that if a husband and wife have only been with each other, they do not need to fear contracting an STI through each other. He contrasts biblical love with lust and says that following God’s design leads to a healthier and more abundant life.

Closing Message and Resources

Steve Dupuis closes by thanking Dr. Bob Thiel and directing listeners to BibleNewsProphecy.net for more interviews, written material, and audio articles. The program ends with information about the Continuing Church of God, including its website, free literature, and email contact. The episode’s overall message is that sexual immorality, as defined by the hosts’ biblical interpretation, leads to spiritual and physical consequences, while biblical obedience offers protection and a path toward healthier living.]]></description>

The Way of Wisdom: The Beginning of Wisdom

Opening Welcome and a New Summer Focus

The service opens with a greeting centered on Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit, followed by a warm welcome to the congregation, online worshipers, and visitors attending for the baptism service. Announcements include hospitality details, coffee fellowship, and an invitation for visitors and new members to gather in the parlor after worship. The congregation is also introduced to the church’s summer sermon series, The Way of Wisdom, which will focus on biblical wisdom literature and its guidance for life in God’s world.

Confession, Assurance, and the Theme of Wisdom

The liturgical opening turns toward confession by connecting wisdom with surrendering control to God, drawing on Proverbs 16:9 and a responsive prayer from Psalm 119. The congregation prays for understanding, delight in God’s commands, and hearts turned away from selfishness and toward God’s statutes. After this corporate confession, the congregation hears an assurance from Psalm 37, reminding worshipers to commit their way to the Lord and trust him. This moment establishes wisdom not merely as intelligence or strategy, but as a life ordered under God’s care and direction.

Baptism as Covenant, Family, and Promise

A major part of the service is devoted to the baptism of three children: Grace, Arlo, and Joni. The presiding pastor explains baptism as participation in Christ’s death and resurrection, cleansing from sin, and entry into the covenant family of God. He places baptism within the larger biblical story, moving from God’s covenant with Abraham and the sign of circumcision to baptism as the New Testament sign of belonging to God’s people. The parents make vows to raise their children in the faith, and the congregation vows to receive, pray for, and nurture them, underscoring the shared responsibility of the Christian community.

Prayer, Congregational Life, and Care for the Church Family

The pastoral prayer reflects the life of the congregation by giving thanks for the newly baptized children, milestone birthdays, missionary service, and the birth of Catherine Marie VanEerden. It also lifts up members recovering from surgery, receiving rehabilitation or hospice care, and families facing grief after the death of Lori Vanderarc. Throughout the prayer, the church’s needs are framed through the language of walking faithfully with God and asking the Holy Spirit for courage, wisdom, openness, service, and gratitude. The prayer portrays the church as a community that celebrates, intercedes, and grieves together.

Children’s Message and the Incarnation of Christ

In the children’s message, the pastor reflects on the fragile nature of babies and uses the morning’s baptisms to help children imagine the humility of Christ. He explains how carefully one must hold a baby, especially the neck and head, and then observes that Jesus, who is mighty and powerful, willingly became that small and vulnerable. This becomes a simple but powerful lesson in the incarnation: Jesus became weak in order to be with humanity and save humanity. The message emphasizes that Christ fully entered human life, from infancy onward, out of love for his people.

The Beginning of Wisdom and the Fear of the Lord

The sermon begins the new series by asking what biblical wisdom is and distinguishing it from both moral law and abstract knowledge. Wisdom is described as practical, embodied, decision-making knowledge that operates in the complexity of real life, where rules alone are often not enough. The pastor then focuses on Proverbs 1:7 and explains “the fear of the Lord” as the beginning of wisdom, distinguishing punishment-based fear from affection-based fear. He argues that the fear Scripture commends is rooted not in terror, but in love, admiration, reverence, and the desire not to disappoint God. The sermon concludes by grounding this fear in grace, especially in the saving work of Jesus Christ, and presenting biblical wisdom as something that becomes life-giving only when it begins in humble relationship with God.]]></description>

The presiding pastor explains baptism as participation in Christ’s death and resurrection, cleansing from sin, and entry into the covenant family of God. He places baptism within the larger biblical story, moving from God’s covenant with Abraham and the sign of circumcision to baptism as the New Testament sign of belonging to God’s people. The parents make vows to raise their children in the faith, and the congregation vows to receive, pray for, and nurture them, underscoring the shared responsibility of the Christian community.

Prayer, Congregational Life, and Care for the Church Family

The pastoral prayer reflects the life of the congregation by giving thanks for the newly baptized children, milestone birthdays, missionary service, and the birth of Catherine Marie VanEerden. It also lifts up members recovering from surgery, receiving rehabilitation or hospice care, and families facing grief a]]></itunes:summary>

The Way of Wisdom: The Beginning of Wisdom

About The Service:
We will start our summer sermon series. This summer our sermons will all be drawn from the parts of the Bible that are considered Wisdom Literature. These are Bible books and Bible passages that address the practicalities of living in God's world. Pastor Jonker will begin the series with a sermon on Proverbs 1:1-7 where the teacher of Proverbs shares with us the place where wisdom starts.

The Way of Wisdom: The Beginning of Wisdom

Opening Welcome and a New Summer Focus

The service opens with a greeting centered on Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit, followed by a warm welcome to the congregation, online worshipers, and visitors attending for the baptism service. Announcements include hospitality details, coffee fellowship, and an invitation for visitors and new members to gather in the parlor after worship. The congregation is also introduced to the church’s summer sermon series, The Way of Wisdom, which will focus on biblical wisdom literature and its guidance for life in God’s world.

Confession, Assurance, and the Theme of Wisdom

The liturgical opening turns toward confession by connecting wisdom with surrendering control to God, drawing on Proverbs 16:9 and a responsive prayer from Psalm 119. The congregation prays for understanding, delight in God’s commands, and hearts turned away from selfishness and toward God’s statutes. After this corporate confession, the congregation hears an assurance from Psalm 37, reminding worshipers to commit their way to the Lord and trust him. This moment establishes wisdom not merely as intelligence or strategy, but as a life ordered under God’s care and direction.

Baptism as Covenant, Family, and Promise

A major part of the service is devoted to the baptism of three children: Grace, Arlo, and Joni. The presiding pastor explains baptism as participation in Christ’s death and resurrection, cleansing from sin, and entry into the covenant family of God. He places baptism within the larger biblical story, moving from God’s covenant with Abraham and the sign of circumcision to baptism as the New Testament sign of belonging to God’s people. The parents make vows to raise their children in the faith, and the congregation vows to receive, pray for, and nurture them, underscoring the shared responsibility of the Christian community.

Prayer, Congregational Life, and Care for the Church Family

The pastoral prayer reflects the life of the congregation by giving thanks for the newly baptized children, milestone birthdays, missionary service, and the birth of Catherine Marie VanEerden. It also lifts up members recovering from surgery, receiving rehabilitation or hospice care, and families facing grief after the death of Lori Vanderarc. Throughout the prayer, the church’s needs are framed through the language of walking faithfully with God and asking the Holy Spirit for courage, wisdom, openness, service, and gratitude. The prayer portrays the church as a community that celebrates, intercedes, and grieves together.

Children’s Message and the Incarnation of Christ

In the children’s message, the pastor reflects on the fragile nature of babies and uses the morning’s baptisms to help children imagine the humility of Christ. He explains how carefully one must hold a baby, especially the neck and head, and then observes that Jesus, who is mighty and powerful, willingly became that small and vulnerable. This becomes a simple but powerful lesson in the incarnation: Jesus became weak in order to be with humanity and save humanity. The message emphasizes that Christ fully entered human life, from infancy onward, out of love for his people.

The Beginning of Wisdom and the Fear of the Lord

The sermon begins the new series by asking what biblical wisdom is and distinguishing it from both moral law and abstract knowledge. Wisdom is described as practical, embodied, decision-making knowledge that operates in the complexity of real life, where rules alone are often not enough. The pastor then focuses on Proverbs 1:7 and explains “the fear of the Lord” as the beginning of wisdom, distinguishing punishment-based fear from affection-based fear. He argues that the fear Scripture commends is rooted not in terror, but in love, admiration, reverence, and the desire not to disappoint God. The sermon concludes by grounding this fear in grace, especially in the saving work of Jesus Christ, and presenting biblical wisdom as something that becomes life-giving only when it begins in humble relationship with God.]]></media:description>

Watch, Repent, and Hold Fast: Tony Alamo on Revelation, Sardis, and the Morning Star
Sermon 758B

Tony Alamo Continues Teaching from Revelation

In this archival sermon presented by Help from Christ Ministries, Tony Alamo continues his teaching from the book of Revelation, beginning with prayer and the theme that believers must receive God’s Word deeply into their souls and continue doing God’s work until the end of their lives. Alamo teaches that Christians must overcome, keep working, and maintain the same faith as Christ in order to receive spiritual authority. The sermon focuses heavily on obedience, watchfulness, repentance, fear of God, and the danger of having the appearance of spiritual life while being spiritually dead.

Ruling with a Rod of Iron

Alamo discusses Revelation’s image of ruling with a rod of iron, comparing it to shepherding sheep. He says believers must be guided, corrected, and gathered together, while those who are spiritually sick may need special care. He emphasizes that personal opinions, ideas, and methods must be broken like a potter’s vessel if they conflict with the Word of God. In Alamo’s teaching, the Bible is the supreme rule because it is God’s Word, and anyone who wants to be part of the church must submit to that rule rather than follow a weak or “wishy-washy” attitude.

The Morning Star and Unshakable Faith

Alamo then reflects on the promise, “I will give him the morning star.” He describes the morning star as refreshing, visible, and symbolic of Christ’s light rising in the heart. Alamo teaches that people themselves are movable and shakeable, but the Word of God is unmovable and unshakable. Therefore, he says believers must adopt the Word into themselves until they become firm in faith, without reservations. In his view, those who are fully grounded in God’s Word can be exalted and made visible for God’s purposes, while those with hesitation will be diminished.

The Church in Sardis and the Seven Spirits of God

Moving into Revelation chapter three, Alamo teaches on the message to the church in Sardis. He identifies Christ as the one who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, which he connects to the seven angels of the seven churches. He stresses that one of the seven Spirits is the fear of the Lord, and that fearing God and keeping His commandments make up the whole duty of humanity. Alamo warns listeners that God knows their works, motives, thoughts, hidden intentions, and whether they are truly living as Christians or merely carrying the name.

“You Have a Name That You Live, and Are Dead”

A major portion of the sermon centers on the warning that some people have a name that they are alive, but are spiritually dead. Alamo applies this directly to people who call themselves Christians but do not do God’s work or keep His commandments. He says words are cheap unless a person’s life demonstrates obedience. He repeatedly urges listeners to be watchful, wake up, strengthen what remains, and examine themselves through the “mirror” of God’s Word. He warns that much of a person may already be spiritually dead if they have grown bored, careless, or resistant toward God.

Watchfulness, Perfection, and the Danger of Delay

Alamo emphasizes Revelation’s command to be watchful, treating it not as advice but as a direct commandment. He teaches that believers must put on the whole armor of God, strengthen what is weak, and become perfect before God. He rejects the idea that no one can be perfect, arguing from the passage that Christ requires works to be found perfect before God. Alamo warns that people who delay repentance or assume they have more time may be surprised when Christ comes upon them “as a thief,” either at the end of time or at the moment of death.

Remember, Hold Fast, and Repent

Alamo then urges listeners to remember how they first received and heard the gospel, return to their early zeal, and hold fast to Christ as the solid rock. He says salvation should be guarded more carefully than silver, gold, diamonds, rubies, or any earthly treasure because the soul is worth more than material wealth. He warns listeners not to use excuses such as fatigue, distraction, the news media, or personal dislike of the preacher to avoid obeying God’s Word. In Alamo’s view, if even a donkey speaks God’s Word, people are responsible for listening.

Listener Letters from California and Texas

The sermon then shifts to listener letters. The first letter comes from Chino, California, from a man incarcerated in California’s prison system who says he first read Alamo’s newsletters while in prison and felt God speaking to him through them. He asks for more newsletters and a copy of The Messiah. The second letter comes from Texarkana, Texas, from a listener who praises Alamo’s new songs as spiritually powerful and says they lift her into worship, prayer, and rejoicing. Alamo responds with appreciation and briefly mentions the choir and symphony orchestra connected with his music.

Salvation Prayer and Closing Song

Near the end, Alamo leads listeners in a salvation prayer, asking Jesus to have mercy, forgive sins, enter the heart, wash away former sins through His blood, and save the soul. The program then gives instructions for requesting a copy of sermon 758 and contacting Tony Alamo Christian Ministries. Alamo closes by inviting listeners to return for more teaching from Revelation and introduces one of his newly recorded songs, “In the Sweet By and By,” performed with choir and orchestra. The broadcast ends with the song and a final invitation from Help from Christ Ministries for listeners to make contact.]]></description>

He emphasizes that personal opinions, ideas, and methods must be broken like a potter’s vessel if they conflict with the Word of God. In Alamo’s teaching, the Bible is the supreme rule because it is God’s Word, and anyone who wants to be part of the church must submit to that rule rather than follow a weak or “wishy-washy” attitude.

The Morning Star and Unshakable Faith

Alamo then reflects on the promise, “I will give him the morning star.” He describes the morning star as refreshing, visible, and symbolic of Christ’s light rising in the heart. Alamo teaches that people themselves are movable and shakeable, but the Word of God is unmovable and unshakable. Therefore, he says believers must adopt the Word into themselves until they become firm in faith, without reservations. In his view, those who are fully grounded in God’s Word can be exalted and made visible for God’s purposes, while those with hesitation will be diminished.

The Church in Sardis and the Seven Spirits of God

Moving into Revelation chapter three, Alamo teaches on the message to the church in Sardis. He identifies Christ as the one who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, which he connects to the seven angels of the seven churches. He stresses that one of the seven Spirits is the fear of the Lord, and that fearing God and keeping His commandments make up the whole duty of humanity. Alamo warns listeners that God knows their works, motives, thoughts, hidden intentions, and whether they are truly living as Christians or merely carrying the name.

“You Have a Name That You Live, and Are Dead”

A major portion of the sermon centers on the warning that some people have a name that they are alive, but are spiritually dead. Alamo applies this directly to people who call themselves Christians but do not do God’s work or keep His commandments. He says words are cheap unless a person’s life demonstrates obedience. He repeatedly urges listeners to be watchful, wake up, strengthen what remains, and examine themselves through the “mirror” of God’s Word. He warns that much of a person may already be spiritually dead if they have grown bored, careless, or resistant toward God.

Watchfulness, Perfection, and the Danger of Delay

Alamo emphasizes Revelation’s command to be watchful, treating it not as advice but as a direct commandment. He teaches that believers must put on the whole armor of God, strengthen what is weak, and become perfect before God. He rejects the idea that no one can be perfect, arguing from the passage that Christ requires works to be found perfect before God. Alamo warns that people who delay repentance or assume they have more time may be surprised when Christ comes upon them “as a thief,” either at the end of time or at the moment of death.

Remember, Hold Fast, and Repent

Alamo then urges listeners to remember how they first received and heard the gospel, return to their early zeal, and hold fast to Christ as the solid rock. He says salvation should be guarded more carefully than silver, gold, diamonds, rubies, or any earthly treasure because the soul is worth more than material wealth. He warns listeners not to use excuses such as fatigue, distraction, the news media, or personal dislike of the preacher to avoid obeying God’s Word. In Alamo’s view, if even a donkey speaks God’s Word, people are responsible for listening.

Listener Letters from California and Texas

The sermon then shifts to listener letters. The first letter comes from Chino, California, from a man incarcerated in California’s prison system who says he first read Alamo’s newsletters while in prison and felt God speaking to him through them. He asks for more newsletters and a copy of The Messiah. The second letter comes from Texarkana, Texas, from a listener who praises Alamo’s new songs as spiritually powerful and says they lift her into worship, prayer, and rejoicing. Alamo responds with appreciation and briefly mentions the choir and symphony orchestra connected with his music.

Salvation Prayer and Closing Song

Near the end, Alamo leads listeners in a salvation prayer, asking Jesus to have mercy, forgive sins, enter the heart, wash away former sins through His blood, and save the soul. The program then gives instructions for requesting a copy of sermon 758 and contacting Tony Alamo Christian Ministries. Alamo closes by inviting listeners to return for more teaching from Revelation and introduces one of his newly recorded songs, “In the Sweet By and By,” performed with choir and orchestra. The broadcast ends with the song and a final invitation from Help from Christ Ministries for listeners to make contact.]]></media:description>

Social Media Superglues People to Screens

A study found that social media binds people to it so much, some have used the term superglue. The study found that four factors associated with the gambling industry and its slot machines, look to be involved in sticking/addicting people to social media.. The study said the four superglueing factors were 1) isolation, 2) bottomlessness, 3) speed, and 4) teasing, or giving you almost what you want. Those factors were found to create a kind of recipe for overuse for nearly everyone. Another study found that "social media algorithms are controlling how we communicate and interact." While there can be benefits from social media, excessive usage can make people unhappy and contribute to a variety of negative outcomes. Like slot machines and pornography, social media often promises to be satisfying, but often fails to deliver. Are there any Satanic connections as the devil is "the prince of the power of the air" (Ephesians 2:2)? What should children and adults to about social media? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel discuss these important matters.

        <description><![CDATA[Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean

Hour 1: And People Call This Gratitude?

Hour 2: See How This Works?

Gratitude Requires More Than Memorials

Arlington, Memorial Day, and the Meaning of Honor
This episode of Sons of Liberty Radio opens with Bradlee Dean reflecting on Arlington Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as symbols of reverence, sacrifice, discipline, and national gratitude. He describes the guards’ exacting preparation, the solemnity of the changing of the guard, and the meaning of honoring those who died for the constitutional republic. From there, he connects Memorial Day to a broader question: whether Americans truly honor fallen soldiers merely by speaking words of remembrance, or whether honor requires living for the laws, liberties, and moral principles those soldiers died to defend.

Gratitude, Constitutional Wars, and Political Accountability
Bradlee continues by distinguishing between honoring veterans and questioning unconstitutional wars. He says the country has been at war for most of its existence and argues that soldiers and citizens need to understand the Constitution’s limits on war powers. He recalls a past experience in Minneapolis radio when a manager accused him of disrespecting the office of the president for criticizing Barack Obama, while Bradlee argued that tolerating presidential crimes is the real disrespect. His central theme is that gratitude requires refusing to tolerate corruption in government or heresy in the church, rather than offering ceremonial praise while ignoring violations of law.

Climate Change, John Coleman, and Speaking Against Public Deception
A major segment focuses on what Bradlee calls the climate-change hoax and the history of efforts to use climate policy to tax and control people. He plays or references a clip involving Weather Channel founder John Coleman challenging CNN’s framing of climate change and insisting that science is not a vote. Bradlee uses Ecclesiastes 1:4 to argue that Scripture teaches the earth abides, and he challenges Christians to believe that claim actively rather than remain silent while political and media institutions promote narratives he believes are false. In his view, Coleman’s willingness to confront CNN is an example of public courage and gratitude.

Healthcare, Whistleblowers, and Demands for Justice
Bradlee then shifts to healthcare, COVID-era controversies, and what he describes as a lack of justice for officials such as Anthony Fauci and leaders of institutions like the CDC, NIH, and WHO. He plays or discusses a clip from Linda Peeno, who describes denying a medical procedure that would have saved a man’s life and being rewarded for saving a company money. Bradlee uses this testimony to argue that the healthcare system has been corrupted by money and institutional incentives. He frames public inaction in the face of whistleblower testimony as another sign of ingratitude and calls for people to demand justice against those he believes are responsible.

Foreigners, Flags, Immigration, and National Respect
In the later portion of the episode, Bradlee discusses foreign nationals, assimilation, disrespect for the American flag, and what he views as signs of judgment from Deuteronomy 28. He argues that people coming into the country who disrespect the flag or refuse to assimilate should be deported, and he connects this to broader concerns about Chinese nationals, Muslims in office, foreign influence, and domestic insurrection. Caller Craig from Michigan joins briefly to discuss healthcare, climate, and space-anomaly claims, while caller Margie from Minnesota brings up Donald Trump and South Africans entering the United States. Bradlee uses both calls to reinforce his view that Americans are tolerating conditions that undermine their own country.

Trump, Thomas Massie, War, and the Final Contrast Between Talk and Action
The episode closes by returning to Donald Trump, Thomas Massie, immigration, transgender issues, border claims, clemency decisions, and alleged hypocrisy among Trump supporters. Bradlee plays or describes a Trump clip in which Trump criticizes Massie, then argues that Trump’s own words expose confusion or contradiction around issues such as men in women’s sports, transgenderism, border policy, and open borders. He also contrasts political rhetoric with what he calls genuine gratitude, using a Tennessee representative’s angry objection to rushed legislation as an example of someone fighting for constituents. The program ends by repeating a prior Sons of Liberty segment about modern conservatives, the two-party system, impeachment, and the need to elect God-fearing constitutionalists who refuse to “go along to get along.”]]></description>

Hour 1: And People Call This Gratitude?

Hour 2: See How This Works?

Gratitude Requires More Than Memorials

Arlington, Memorial Day, and the Meaning of Honor
This episode of Sons of Liberty Radio opens with Bradlee Dean reflecting on Arlington Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as symbols of reverence, sacrifice, discipline, and national gratitude. He describes the guards’ exacting preparation, the solemnity of the changing of the guard, and the meaning of honoring those who died for the constitutional republic. From there, he connects Memorial Day to a broader question: whether Americans truly honor fallen soldiers merely by speaking words of remembrance, or whether honor requires living for the laws, liberties, and moral principles those soldiers died to defend.

Gratitude, Constitutional Wars, and Political Accountability
Bradlee continues by distinguishing between honoring veterans and questioning unconstitutional wars. He says the country has been at war for most of its existence and argues that soldiers and citizens need to understand the Constitution’s limits on war powers. He recalls a past experience in Minneapolis radio when a manager accused him of disrespecting the office of the president for criticizing Barack Obama, while Bradlee argued that tolerating presidential crimes is the real disrespect. His central theme is that gratitude requires refusing to tolerate corruption in government or heresy in the church, rather than offering ceremonial praise while ignoring violations of law.

Climate Change, John Coleman, and Speaking Against Public Deception
A major segment focuses on what Bradlee calls the climate-change hoax and the history of efforts to use climate policy to tax and control people. He plays or references a clip involving Weather Channel founder John Coleman challenging CNN’s framing of climate change and insisting that science is not a vote. Bradlee uses Ecclesiastes 1:4 to argue that Scripture teaches the earth abides, and he challenges Christians to believe that claim actively rather than remain silent while political and media institutions promote narratives he believes are false. In his view, Coleman’s willingness to confront CNN is an example of public courage and gratitude.

Healthcare, Whistleblowers, and Demands for Justice
Bradlee then shifts to healthcare, COVID-era controversies, and what he describes as a lack of justice for officials such as Anthony Fauci and leaders of institutions like the CDC, NIH, and WHO. He plays or discusses a clip from Linda Peeno, who describes denying a medical procedure that would have saved a man’s life and being rewarded for saving a company money. Bradlee uses this testimony to argue that the healthcare system has been corrupted by money and institutional incentives. He frames public inaction in the face of whistleblower testimony as another sign of ingratitude and calls for people to demand justice against those he believes are responsible.

Foreigners, Flags, Immigration, and National Respect
In the later portion of the episode, Bradlee discusses foreign nationals, assimilation, disrespect for the American flag, and what he views as signs of judgment from Deuteronomy 28. He argues that people coming into the country who disrespect the flag or refuse to assimilate should be deported, and he connects this to broader concerns about Chinese nationals, Muslims in office, foreign influence, and domestic insurrection. Caller Craig from Michigan joins briefly to discuss healthcare, climate, and space-anomaly claims, while caller Margie from Minnesota brings up Donald Trump and South Africans entering the United States. Bradlee uses both calls to reinforce his view that Americans are tolerating conditions that undermine their own country.

Trump, Thomas Massie, War, and the Final Contrast Between Talk and Action
The episode closes by returning to Donald Trump, Thomas Massie, immigration, transgender issues, border claims, clemency decisions, and alleged hypocrisy among Trump supporters. Bradlee plays or describes a Trump clip in which Trump criticizes Massie, then argues that Trump’s own words expose confusion or contradiction around issues such as men in women’s sports, transgenderism, border policy, and open borders. He also contrasts political rhetoric with what he calls genuine gratitude, using a Tennessee representative’s angry objection to rushed legislation as an example of someone fighting for constituents. The program ends by repeating a prior Sons of Liberty segment about modern conservatives, the two-party system, impeachment, and the need to elect God-fearing constitutionalists who refuse to “go along to get along.”]]></media:description>

        <description><![CDATA[Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean

See How This Works?

When Authority Rebels Against God’s Law

Romans 13, Civil Authority, and the Limits of Submission
This episode of Sons of Liberty Radio opens by challenging a common Christian response to government overreach: “What about Romans chapter 13?” Bradlee Dean argues that many Christians use Romans 13 either because they are misinformed or because they want an escape from personal responsibility. He reads or paraphrases the passage and emphasizes that civil authority is limited by its God-defined purpose: to punish evil and praise good. From the beginning, the episode frames submission to government not as unlimited obedience, but as obedience within the boundaries of God’s law and moral order.

Christian Hypocrisy, Constitutional Ignorance, and the Role of the Church
After the show’s introductory and promotional material, Bradlee discusses recent conversations in which people criticized Christians, churches, and politics while, in his view, misunderstanding both Scripture and the Constitution. He argues that the church is supposed to be the moral compass of society and that the American system of government was institutionalized on common law rooted in biblical principles. He rejects the idea that Christianity and government are separate subjects, citing James Wilson and the imagery of Moses, the Ten Commandments, John Locke, Montesquieu, and Blackstone in civic settings. His central point is that many who criticize Christian involvement in public life do so from a biblically and constitutionally illiterate framework.

False Professions, Celebrity Christianity, and Fruit-Based Judgment
A substantial portion of the episode addresses public figures who profess Christian beliefs while, according to Bradlee, producing fruit that contradicts those claims. He uses Roman Reigns, professional wrestling, Hollywood actors, Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, and political figures as examples of what he sees as public religious language without biblical obedience. Bradlee argues that merely saying Jesus is the Son of God is not the same as walking in the light, and he repeatedly points listeners to the biblical teaching that people should be judged by their fruit. He connects this to the broader problem of desensitization, entertainment, and Christians accepting worldly professions of faith without discernment.

The Biblical Case Against Unquestioned Obedience to Tyranny
The heart of the episode returns to Romans 13 and argues that no human authority has unlimited jurisdiction. Bradlee uses examples from Scripture and history to test the idea of absolute submission, including the medieval custom of prima nocta, Moses defending a Hebrew from an Egyptian taskmaster, Elijah confronting Ahab and Jezebel, David refusing to surrender to Saul, Daniel disobeying a corrupt law against prayer, the three Hebrew children refusing to bow, John the Baptist rebuking Herod, the apostles continuing to preach, and Paul suffering imprisonment. His argument is that Scripture does not teach blind submission to evil, but rather obedience to God above tyrannical or unlawful commands.

Resistance, Forefathers, and Christ as the Model of Authority
Bradlee then connects biblical resistance to American founding-era examples and Christian history. He cites Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln, Charles de Montesquieu, and other references to argue that liberty is the right to do what God’s law permits, not permission to do whatever one wants. He also points to Jesus confronting the money changers, speaking boldly, rebuking religious hypocrites, and warning the women on the way to Calvary as examples that love and authority can include confrontation. Bradlee’s repeated phrase “resistance to tyranny is obedience to God” becomes a key summary of his view that Christians are not called to submit to corrupt rule when it violates God’s commands.

Ministry Callings, Correction, and the Need for Biblical Discernment
Near the end, callers Henry and John briefly enter the conversation, and Bradlee uses John’s call to discuss different ministry callings, including apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. He argues that correction, reproof, and instruction are not unloving but are part of Scripture’s purpose and part of genuine love. Bradlee distinguishes different functions within the body of Christ while insisting that all should ultimately point toward repentance and the kingdom of heaven. The episode closes with reminders about Sons of Liberty Sunday services, merchandise, support opportunities, and the call for listeners to study Scripture, judge by fruit, and resist tyranny through obedience to God.]]></description>

Choosing Life Through Consecration: Tony Alamo on Obedience, Fear of God, and God’s Life Within Believers
Ep184 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 82

Tony Alamo Introduces Part 82 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You

In this archival program, identified as program 184 and part 82 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Tony Alamo opens by explaining that listeners may request a copy of the broadcast after the program. He prays for God to anoint the message, change lives, convict people he believes are unsaved even if they attend church, and expose Satan so that Satan can be spiritually bound. Because the recording is identified as taking place on Mother’s Day, Alamo also prays for good mothers while using the moment to criticize government policies, homosexuality, abortion, birth control, Catholicism, Buddhism, and Islam, all of which he presents as contrary to his religious worldview.

Letters from Congo, Illinois, and Ghana

Alamo then turns to listener letters read by Michelle. A writer from Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo thanks him for Bibles, newsletters, pamphlets, and French copies of The Messiah, saying the materials have helped transform lives and asking to be included as a monthly distributor. A listener from Galesburg, Illinois, thanks him for a CD of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, says she has returned to church after backsliding, asks whether she should be baptized again, and reports distributing his literature at a high school. A third writer from Samonya, Ghana, West Africa, says Alamo’s literature is being embraced by people there and requests Bibles, The Messiah, and newsletters for a youth camp meeting.

Free Literature and the Ministry’s Purpose

After the letters, Alamo emphasizes that his ministry sends literature, tapes, CDs, and Bibles free of charge, including postage. He contrasts this with ministries he accuses of offering supposedly free items while making money through handling or shipping fees. He says the purpose of his ministry is not to profit from listeners but to spread the gospel worldwide. In responding to the Illinois letter, he encourages the writer to keep distributing literature even if recipients reject the message, arguing that God rewards the effort of preaching regardless of whether people accept it.

The Power of Choice: Life, Death, Blessing, and Cursing

The teaching portion begins with Alamo and Sharon reading from Deuteronomy 30, where Moses sets before the people life and death, blessing and cursing. Alamo uses the passage to argue that every person has a will and must choose either God’s way or self-will. He says people who claim Christianity but live for themselves are choosing death, while those who obey God’s commandments are choosing life. Alamo repeatedly warns that ignoring God’s commandments will lead to destruction, shortened life, hell, and the lake of fire, while obedience brings blessing and eternal life.

Loving God Means Keeping His Commandments

Alamo next turns to John 14, emphasizing Jesus’ statements that those who love Him keep His commandments and that those who do not keep His sayings do not love Him. He applies this directly to churchgoers, pastors, and religious teachers, warning against what he calls false prophets who teach that believers may continue in sin after salvation. He also criticizes popular religious and cultural claims involving The Da Vinci Code, Judas, and Mary Magdalene, rejecting them as heresy and insisting that Jesus was not married to a woman but is spiritually joined to the corporate body of believers as the bride of Christ.

Consecration, Sacrifice, and Renewal of the Mind

The central message continues the theme of consecration. Alamo teaches that believers must present their bodies as living sacrifices to God, drawing from Romans 12:1–2. He explains that consecration means dying to self, surrendering one’s will, and allowing God to live and work through the believer. He says the mind must be renewed by repeatedly reading, memorizing, and meditating on Scripture so that the Word of God replaces worldly thoughts. In his view, a person who continues lying, committing sexual sin, acting selfishly, or mistreating others has not truly consecrated himself or herself to God.

Fear of the Lord and the Motive of Love

Alamo distinguishes between the reason and the motive for consecration. The reason, he says, is that Christ purchased believers through His death, resurrection, and sacrifice; the motive is the love of God, along with fear of the Lord. He stresses that fear is essential because, in his view, people will not obey God unless they understand the consequences of disobedience. He cites 2 Corinthians 5:14–15, teaching that Christ’s love should constrain believers so that they no longer live for themselves but for the one who died and rose again for them.

Closing Warnings and Salvation Prayer

Near the end, Alamo warns that current world conditions, diseases, pestilences, and future tribulations show the urgency of salvation. He rejects the idea that Christians will be raptured before tribulation and says people must prepare to endure while letting God live through them. The program closes with a salvation prayer asking Jesus to forgive sins, enter the heart, wash the listener in His blood, and save the soul. Sharon then gives instructions for requesting program 184 by website, mail, phone, or fax, and Alamo invites listeners to return for part 83 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You.]]></description>

Choosing Life Through Consecration: Tony Alamo on Obedience, Fear of God, and God’s Life Within Believers
Ep184 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 82

Tony Alamo Introduces Part 82 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You

In this archival program, identified as program 184 and part 82 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Tony Alamo opens by explaining that listeners may request a copy of the broadcast after the program. He prays for God to anoint the message, change lives, convict people he believes are unsaved even if they attend church, and expose Satan so that Satan can be spiritually bound. Because the recording is identified as taking place on Mother’s Day, Alamo also prays for good mothers while using the moment to criticize government policies, homosexuality, abortion, birth control, Catholicism, Buddhism, and Islam, all of which he presents as contrary to his religious worldview.

A writer from Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo thanks him for Bibles, newsletters, pamphlets, and French copies of The Messiah, saying the materials have helped transform lives and asking to be included as a monthly distributor. A listener from Galesburg, Illinois, thanks him for a CD of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, says she has returned to church after backsliding, asks whether she should be baptized again, and reports distributing his literature at a high school.

## 6. Six-Paragraph Summary

**Opening Prayer and the Broadcast’s Central Theme**  
Amanda Grace opens the May 28, 2026 Ark of Grace broadcast by welcoming viewers from across the United States and around the world, greeting moderators and team members, and then entering into an extended prayer. She gives the program over to God, invokes the name of Jesus Christ, welcomes the Holy Spirit, prays for protection over the broadcast, and asks that only God’s truth and authority come forth. After the prayer, she introduces the night’s main theme: the “fall of the house of Eli” as a prophetic parallel she believes is now unfolding in both the church and government. She frames the episode around a plumb line being dropped between Eli and his wicked sons on one side and Samuel on the other.

**Iran, Prophetic Timing, and the Beginning of the Eli Teaching**  
Before moving fully into First Samuel, Amanda discusses a reported U.S.-Iran ceasefire-extension deal that she says was pending President Trump’s approval. She presents the Iran issue as both a geopolitical and spiritual conflict connected to nuclear negotiations, delay tactics, and Islamic end-times expectations involving the Mahdi or Twelfth Imam. She then connects this to a broader prophetic timeline, saying that what is happening in the church is also happening in the government, including in Congress, governor’s races, mayoral races, and the Trump administration. Amanda warns that Eli Lilly should also be watched for a possible scandal or fracture from within, using the “Eli” name as part of the broadcast’s larger prophetic pattern.

**Prophetic Words and the Plumb Line Between Eli and Samuel**  
Amanda reviews a series of earlier prophetic words from 2021 through 2026 that she says mentioned Eli, Eli’s wicked sons, Ichabod, Congress, the church, scandal, hidden agreements, witchcraft, political exposure, and a coming sifting. She says these words show a five-year theme building toward the present moment. She connects Mitch McConnell, congressional corruption, church controversies, Supreme Court references, governors, mayors, and midterm elections to the same “house of Eli” pattern. Her core argument is that God is separating those who are like Samuel—called, righteous, and willing to serve—from leaders who abuse authority, tolerate corruption, and refuse to bring their houses into order.

**Biblical Examples of Corrupt Priestly Leadership and Unauthorized Power**  
The central teaching focuses on First Samuel and the account of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas. Amanda explains that Eli’s sons abused their priestly positions, mistreated offerings, slept with women connected to the tent of meeting, and caused people to despise bringing offerings to the Lord. She says Eli’s great failure was giving only a weak rebuke instead of removing them from their positions. She then compares their actions to other biblical accounts involving the ark of God, Ichabod, Israel’s defeat by the Philistines, Baal of Peor, Phinehas son of Eleazar, Nadab and Abihu, and Adonijah. Amanda’s repeated point is that unauthorized spiritual or political authority, strange fire, debauchery, and contempt for holy things eventually bring judgment, exposure, and removal.

**Application to the Church, Government, and Personal Life**  
Amanda expands the teaching by saying the same pattern is now being cleaned out of churches, Congress, mayoral races, governor’s races, and individual lives. She says the current moment is part of a 40-year prophetic cycle running from Reagan to Trump and from Iran back to Iran, and that this cycle has brought the church and political realm into convergence. She warns that those who want the blessings of obedience while operating in rebellion will be exposed and removed, comparing them to Lot benefiting from Abraham’s blessing and to Hophni and Phinehas exploiting the offerings of God. Amanda urges listeners not to be like Eli, but to purge corruption, walk in the fear of the Lord, and ask God for help cleaning out anything disorderly, rebellious, or contemptuous in their own lives.

**Precious Metals, Ministry Updates, Toby, and Closing Encouragement**  
Near the end, Amanda brings on Andrew Sorchini to discuss gold, silver, the Iran conflict, the 40-year cycle, the “Cyrus coin,” and why he believes precious metals are positioned for a future move. Andrew says silver and gold have historically preserved value and encourages viewers to make educated rather than emotional investment decisions. Amanda then shares urgent animal-rescue needs for two German shepherds, Hendrix and Crew, and asks viewers to pray for her dog Toby after a possible lung-cancer concern appeared on X-rays. She also promotes GiveADerm’s Amanda Collection and announces an upcoming appearance on Human Events with Jack Posobiec. The broadcast closes with Amanda encouraging viewers to remain in Scripture, armor up according to Ephesians 6, pray Psalm 91, and develop a daily discipline of speaking God’s Word.]]></description>

## 6. Six-Paragraph Summary

**Opening Prayer and the Broadcast’s Central Theme**  
Amanda Grace opens the May 28, 2026 Ark of Grace broadcast by welcoming viewers from across the United States and around the world, greeting moderators and team members, and then entering into an extended prayer. She gives the program over to God, invokes the name of Jesus Christ, welcomes the Holy Spirit, prays for protection over the broadcast, and asks that only God’s truth and authority come forth. After the prayer, she introduces the night’s main theme: the “fall of the house of Eli” as a prophetic parallel she believes is now unfolding in both the church and government. She frames the episode around a plumb line being dropped between Eli and his wicked sons on one side and Samuel on the other.

**Iran, Prophetic Timing, and the Beginning of the Eli Teaching**  
Before moving fully into First Samuel, Amanda discusses a reported U.S.-Iran ceasefire-extension deal that she says was pending President Trump’s approval. She presents the Iran issue as both a geopolitical and spiritual conflict connected to nuclear negotiations, delay tactics, and Islamic end-times expectations involving the Mahdi or Twelfth Imam. She then connects this to a broader prophetic timeline, saying that what is happening in the church is also happening in the government, including in Congress, governor’s races, mayoral races, and the Trump administration. Amanda warns that Eli Lilly should also be watched for a possible scandal or fracture from within, using the “Eli” name as part of the broadcast’s larger prophetic pattern.

**Prophetic Words and the Plumb Line Between Eli and Samuel**  
Amanda reviews a series of earlier prophetic words from 2021 through 2026 that she says mentioned Eli, Eli’s wicked sons, Ichabod, Congress, the church, scandal, hidden agreements, witchcraft, political exposure, and a coming sifting. She says these words show a five-year theme building toward the present moment. She connects Mitch McConnell, congressional corruption, church controversies, Supreme Court references, governors, mayors, and midterm elections to the same “house of Eli” pattern. Her core argument is that God is separating those who are like Samuel—called, righteous, and willing to serve—from leaders who abuse authority, tolerate corruption, and refuse to bring their houses into order.

**Biblical Examples of Corrupt Priestly Leadership and Unauthorized Power**  
The central teaching focuses on First Samuel and the account of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas. Amanda explains that Eli’s sons abused their priestly positions, mistreated offerings, slept with women connected to the tent of meeting, and caused people to despise bringing offerings to the Lord. She says Eli’s great failure was giving only a weak rebuke instead of removing them from their positions. She then compares their actions to other biblical accounts involving the ark of God, Ichabod, Israel’s defeat by the Philistines, Baal of Peor, Phinehas son of Eleazar, Nadab and Abihu, and Adonijah.

        <description><![CDATA[Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean

What Did You Expect The Outcome Would Be?

When the Rulebook Is Removed, Liberty Falls

Modern Conservatism and the Loss of Constitutional Principle
This episode of Sons of Liberty Radio opens with Bradlee Dean arguing that modern conservatism is not a true opposite to liberalism, but a weaker and slower path in the same direction. He says today’s conservatives have repeatedly surrendered moral absolutes, constitutional principles, and the duties of impeachment and accountability. Using Noah Webster, Matthew 5:13, and the definition of “conservative” from Webster’s 1828 dictionary, Bradlee frames his argument around the idea that salt should preserve, but modern conservatives have lost their savor and allowed the Constitution to be trampled under government corruption.

War, Iran, and the Military-Industrial Complex
Bradlee then turns to war, especially the possibility of war with Iran and what he describes as political service to modern Israel. He invokes Smedley Butler’s War Is a Racket and argues that politicians, Wall Street, presidents, and the military-industrial complex profit from war while ordinary families are asked to send their children. He says if politicians want war, they and their own children should go first. The segment uses Hermann Göring’s comments about public manipulation, Henry Kissinger’s alleged contempt for soldiers, Arlington Cemetery, and the Potomac River as images of what Bradlee views as war profiteering at the expense of American lives.

The Instruction Manual: Scripture, the Constitution, and National Direction
After promotional breaks, Bradlee asks what people should expect when they play by rules that are not the original rules. He compares the Word of God and the founding documents to an instruction manual, arguing that removing them guarantees a lawless outcome. He quotes or paraphrases Chris Hedges on institutions that destroy health, justice, knowledge, freedom, information, morals, and the economy, then connects that decay to despising the Word of God. Bradlee uses Proverbs, Deuteronomy, Mark 7, and other biblical passages to argue that the nation has chosen man’s traditions over God’s commandments and is therefore eating the fruit of its own ways.

Republic Versus Democracy and the Two-Party Trap
A central theme of the episode is Bradlee’s insistence that the United States is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. He reads Article IV, Section 4 and argues that the two-party system has trained Americans to believe Democrats and Republicans can act as separate governments when both are actually bound by the same Constitution and the same oath. Bradlee says conservative media and politicians reinforce a false left-right paradigm instead of applying constitutional law to crimes. He describes politics as similar to professional wrestling, with opposing sides appearing to fight publicly while preserving the same system behind closed doors.

Lawlessness, Moral Order, and Cultural Conflict
Bradlee applies his constitutional and biblical argument to cultural issues, saying government and courts have empowered lawbreakers by placing them in victim positions and granting what he considers illegitimate rights. He speaks strongly against homosexuality, invoking Leviticus 18:22 and state laws he says historically treated sodomy as a crime. He argues that government has used small groups as a political battering ram against the Constitution, while citizens have allowed lawless groups to overturn lawful order. Throughout this portion, Bradlee frames the conflict as a choice between condemning lawlessness through God’s law or being overthrown by lawlessness.

Caller John, the Founders, and the Final Warning
Near the end of the episode, a caller named John compares democracy to “two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner” and brings up the Treaty of Paris, Evacuation Day, British troops leaving New York, and claims about Rothschild bankers and lawyers. Bradlee agrees that the founders were not perfect but says they were trying to defend themselves and make peace rather than provoke war. He closes by warning that the two-party system and party spirit were condemned by George Washington and other founders because they enable ambitious, unprincipled men to subvert the people. The final appeal asks listeners what outcome they expect if they keep allowing a system outside the Constitution to continue, and Bradlee urges them to wake up while there is still time.]]></description>

He reads Article IV, Section 4 and argues that the two-party system has trained Americans to believe Democrats and Republicans can act as separate governments when both are actually bound by the same Constitution and the same oath. Bradlee says conservative media and politicians reinforce a false left-right paradigm instead of applying constitutional law to crimes. He describes politics as similar to professional wrestling, with opposing sides appearing to fight publicly while preserving the same system behind closed doors.

Lawlessness, Moral Order, and Cultural Conflict
Bradlee applies his constitutional and biblical argument to cultural issues, saying government and courts have empowered lawbreakers by placing them in victim positions and granting what he considers illegitimate rights. He speaks strongly against homosexuality, invoking Leviticus 18:22 and state laws he says historically treated sodomy as a crime. He argues that government has used small groups as a political battering ram against the Constitution, while citizens have allowed lawless groups to overturn lawful order. Throughout this portion, Bradlee frames the conflict as a choice between condemning lawlessness through God’s law or being overthrown by lawlessness.

Caller John, the Founders, and the Final Warning
Near the end of the episode, a caller named John compares democracy to “two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner” and brings up the Treaty of Paris, Evacuation Day, British troops leaving New York, and claims about Rothschild bankers and lawyers. Bradlee agrees that the founders were not perfect but says they were trying to defend themselves and make peace rather than provoke war. He closes by warning that the two-party system and party spirit were condemned by George Washington and other founders because they enable ambitious, unprincipled men to subvert the people. The final appeal asks listeners what outcome they expect if they keep allowing a system outside the Constitution to continue, and Bradlee urges them to wake up while there is still time.]]></content:encoded>

What Did You Expect The Outcome Would Be?

When the Rulebook Is Removed, Liberty Falls

Modern Conservatism and the Loss of Constitutional Principle
This episode of Sons of Liberty Radio opens with Bradlee Dean arguing that modern conservatism is not a true opposite to liberalism, but a weaker and slower path in the same direction. He says today’s conservatives have repeatedly surrendered moral absolutes, constitutional principles, and the duties of impeachment and accountability. Using Noah Webster, Matthew 5:13, and the definition of “conservative” from Webster’s 1828 dictionary, Bradlee frames his argument around the idea that salt should preserve, but modern conservatives have lost their savor and allowed the Constitution to be trampled under government corruption.

War, Iran, and the Military-Industrial Complex
Bradlee then turns to war, especially the possibility of war with Iran and what he describes as political service to modern Israel. He invokes Smedley Butler’s War Is a Racket and argues that politicians, Wall Street, presidents, and the military-industrial complex profit from war while ordinary families are asked to send their children. He says if politicians want war, they and their own children should go first. The segment uses Hermann Göring’s comments about public manipulation, Henry Kissinger’s alleged contempt for soldiers, Arlington Cemetery, and the Potomac River as images of what Bradlee views as war profiteering at the expense of American lives.

The Instruction Manual: Scripture, the Constitution, and National Direction
After promotional breaks, Bradlee asks what people should expect when they play by rules that are not the original rules. He compares the Word of God and the founding documents to an instruction manual, arguing that removing them guarantees a lawless outcome. He quotes or paraphrases Chris Hedges on institutions that destroy health, justice, knowledge, freedom, information, morals, and the economy, then connects that decay to despising the Word of God. Bradlee uses Proverbs, Deuteronomy, Mark 7, and other biblical passages to argue that the nation has chosen man’s traditions over God’s commandments and is therefore eating the fruit of its own ways.
