SONS of LIBERTY Radio with Bradlee Dean
Judgment Is Not To Be Done on A Curve, But By THE Standard
Judgment Has No Curve: Christ's Standard, Repentance, and Uncompromising Faith
Summary
The Standard Beyond Comparison:
The episode opens with a prerecorded commentary arguing that political and cultural movements portray themselves as victims while, in the speaker's view, violating biblical and constitutional standards. The opening applies that argument to abortion, sexual ethics, the Boy Scouts abuse settlement, immigration, Islam, and public policy, before presenting a Christian biblical worldview as the program's foundation. The host then introduces the central analogy of a classroom grading curve. He argues that society repeatedly lowers its standard to match human performance, while judgment before Christ will not be adjusted to accommodate human failure. Jesus Christ, rather than any admired person or religious leader, is presented as the unchanging standard.
A Call to Spiritual Earnestness:
The host rejects what he considers a softened image of Jesus as merely gentle, meek, and mild. He describes Christ as meek in the sense of power under control, yet forceful in exposing error, sin, and hypocrisy. Drawing on Watchman Nee, Romans 8:14, Acts 5:32, and the work of the Holy Ghost, he argues that spiritually alive Christians will display earnestness rather than settle into passivity. He responds to advice about maturity, patience, and self-control by insisting that biblical maturity does not require indifference toward sacrilege or wrongdoing. Throughout the episode, he repeatedly warns that believers will not be judged on a curve.
Government, Israel, and Archival Warnings:
A major middle section turns from theology to government and foreign influence. The host accuses federal and state representatives of betraying the public and introduces archival clips attributed to Ted Pike, Barry Goldwater, Pat Buchanan, and Jacob Rothschild. Those clips discuss AIPAC, congressional influence, United States policy toward Israel, the Balfour Declaration, and the development of a Jewish national home in Palestine. The host uses the material to advance his own strongly critical interpretation of modern Israel and Zionism, distinguishing them from what he calls the Israel of God. Because several archival passages are garbled or contain disputed historical and political claims, the transcript preserves them as statements by the speakers rather than independently verified facts.
The Fruits of Repentance:
Returning to the main theme, the host says people should conform themselves to the risen Christ rather than the standard of fallen humanity. He uses Jesus driving the money changers from the temple to argue that righteous anger, zeal, and public rebuke can be consistent with faith. His extended reading of 2 Corinthians 7:10-11 emphasizes carefulness, clearing of oneself, indignation, fear of God, vehement desire, zeal, and a readiness to confront disobedience as fruits of repentance. He also cites passages from Psalms, John, Leviticus, Romans, and Proverbs to support a ministry of warning people to turn from sin. The host contrasts this approach with religious leaders whom he believes seek approval, soften biblical demands, or establish forms of Christianity patterned after themselves.
Conversion, Courage, and Historic Examples:
In the final segment, the host reads from Jude and urges listeners to earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. He distinguishes a genuine salvation testimony from a story that glorifies past sin, saying the believer's boast should be the greatness of Christ as Savior and the transforming work of sanctification. The church is compared both to a hospital for sinners and to a barracks that prepares disciples for spiritual battle. Martin Luther, John Wesley, Roger Sherman, and John the Baptist are presented as examples of forceful, uncompromising figures whose character has allegedly been softened by later generations. The host closes by repeating the call to repentance, courage, public accountability, and faithfulness to the biblical standard.
Program Messages and Calls to Action:
The broadcast includes repeated station breaks and promotional segments rather than removing them from the episode record. These include appeals for financial support, an invitation to a Sunday online church service, an endorsement from Dave Krieger, a Christian Media Conference montage, a Liberty Sentinel promotion from Alex Newman, a Wisconsin Christian News advertisement, and instructions for scheduling a community event. A testimonial from Sam praises the host's public ministry and willingness to act on his message. A BBS Radio TV promotional announcement describes the network's live schedule, international distribution, syndication, production history, and client reach. The episode ends with the host inviting public call-in discussion while declining private email responses after the program.

Speaker 1 - Prerecorded Opening / Program Voice: How did we get here? Anti-Semitism? Folks, have you been paying attention to the fact that people today who claim to be victims are now being found to be perpetrators? For example, they pull your hair and slap your face, and then, when the cameras arrive to promote their propaganda narrative, they play the victim. These groups are created under color of law and somehow given lawful standing. This can take place only where people have become ignorant, apathetic, and tolerant, allowing the groups to be used as political battering rams in hopes of upending the U.S. Constitution and tearing down the law. Let me explain. This is merely an attempt to overthrow our laws by enslaving people through ignorance of the method being used. Let's go back just 52 years where we find that the federal government illegally sanctioned the murder of its own children so you can understand. In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court today legalized abortion.
Speaker 1 - Prerecorded Opening / Program Voice: Hollywood, the music industry, television, the internet, pornography, public-school books, and a unified alliance engaged in the illegal promotion and advocacy of fornication, adultery, and promiscuity with the indefensible approval of the Supreme Court declaring it to be free speech to promote the act. Then, when the act is fulfilled and the girl becomes pregnant, the government is right there to justify, through falsifying statistics, the killing of the child through what they call abortion. Here, insult is added to the crime. After a woman gets an abortion and sears her conscience, she then puts on a T-shirt for the world to see with all capital letters stating, “Stop the war on women.” No, friends, this is murder. Our laws condemn these crimes, yet how was it sold to the American people as a woman's choice? And if you hold to the law that condemns their crimes, keeping the baby safe, preserving life, and keeping Americans free, what do the mainstream media and their spin doctors resort to?
Speaker 1 - Prerecorded Opening / Program Voice: Name-calling: “You're an anti-abortionist.” Another example of this method in their madness. Do you remember when the mainstream media began its push concerning the sodomite, the gay agenda? The agenda which is premised on man-boy sex? Just ask them. As a matter of fact, their motto is, “Sex before eight, before it's too late.” Do you recall the fact that when the people were calling them out for violating God's law and American law for their felonious activity, that they began with the help of corrupt politicians to call the people haters, bigots, homophobes, and anti-gay? And now 20 years later, we see millions of young victims and have now come to understand why the Lord calls these acts abominable. A federal judge upheld a $2.5 billion bankruptcy plan for the Irving-based Boy Scouts of America. That deal would allow the organization to continue running while paying tens of thousands of men who say they were sexually abused as children while involved in scouting.
Speaker 1 - Prerecorded Opening / Program Voice: Let me ask you again, how did they sell their agenda to the American people as victims? Well, in fact, what we find is that they were guilty of perpetuating the crime. They do not hold the shield, people; they hold the spear. Do you see? They hate the law that exposes their crimes? What about the Muslim invasion that we're seeing across America today? Methodically, they operate just like the sodomites. These Muslims, not all, have made a public proclamation that they have come to America because they were fleeing governmental corruption and oppression. It's often the lead story in the Twin Cities. A news excerpt states: “Terror recruits are coming from Minnesota,” where thousands of Somalis relocated after civil war ripped their country apart in 1991. Now, once they got their foot in the door, per se, they are making a new proclamation that they are here to conquer. The Revolutionary soldier, judge, legislator, educator, and schoolmaster to America, Noah Webster, said: “The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles.
Speaker 1 - Prerecorded Opening / Program Voice: This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free constitutions of government. The moral principles and precepts found in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws.” He goes on: “All the evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible. Our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion.”
Speaker 1 - Prerecorded Opening / Program Voice: The Sons of Liberty is a politically neutral organization. We believe that the Christian ethic has provided the principles on which this nation was founded. It is our belief that these principles provide not only the foundation and framework for American government, but are also essential to the maintenance of a fair and just society. All program content is based on a Christian biblical worldview.
Speaker 1 - Prerecorded Opening / Program Voice: One of you said to me recently that we should be able to rock the boat. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you that I am a boat.
Speaker 2 - Host: Hello friends, as well as a few enemies, scoffers, atheists, skeptics, lunatics, weirdos, and assorted bad guys. And of course, all of you good guys and girls out there, welcome to the Sons of Liberty. You have with you yours truly, Mr. Bradley Dean. Hey folks, I want to make sure that we all understand it applies to everybody regardless of what they say they believe. It doesn't matter what they say they believe or what they do not believe. They don't have to believe in trucks, either. But what happens if they stand in front of one? Well, folks, all roads lead to the judgment seat of Christ. Period. Hebrews 9:27. 2 Corinthians 5:15. Revelation 21:8. And the list goes on and it goes on and it goes on. And I just want to make clear that we're all aware of the fact that we are not going to be judged according to the best person we have here on earth, right? And when I say judged on a curve, you do understand what I'm saying, do you not?
Speaker 2 - Host: Like, for example, if I take a test, there's a classroom of, let's say 30 kids, just as an example, and there's 30 kids in the room, and the one that gets the highest score, he gets a 92%, not 100%. So what does the teacher do? He lowers the standard from 100% to 92%. And we have followed that downward progression in this country for decades, friends, for centuries in this country. And how far have we fallen? So again, that makes clear sense as to what John Adams said and what he meant when he said that luxury or decadence follows luxury because we've lowered the standard. Christians should understand this, but many who merely profess faith, as well as the heathen world, do not take the time to understand that Jesus Christ is the standard by which they will be judged. There is no curve, okay? There is no curve. And again, I want to make clear that you understand what I just said. The kid that got 92% is not now the standard.
Speaker 2 - Host: And then what did they just do? They just lowered the standard to that kid that got 92% and then what happens? On the next test, the kid gets, you know, 85% and then they lower the standard again, then they get 75% and then they lower the standard again. That's not how we're going to be judged on judgment day. And that's exactly what it means when we talk about a curve here. Okay. I also want to highlight the fact that now understanding that when we look at who Christ is, and hopefully I'll have enough time to get to this in just a couple of minutes here. But there's a popular image of Christ as a gentle Jesus, okay? Meek and mild. Yes, he's meek. That means power under control, but was he mild? Well, because what we need to do, again, understanding who he is, not who we want him to be, he is not the popular image that they've made him out to be as a gentle Jesus, meek and mild. He resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.
Speaker 2 - Host: It's a false image. That's exactly what that is. It's a false image of who Jesus was incarnate on this earth. Okay. He is still the same yesterday, today, and forever. He sits at the right hand of our heavenly Father even now, but he was also uninhibited when it comes to exposing error and denouncing sin, especially hypocrisy, especially hypocrisy. People, understand that Christ was a controversialist. Okay. When you stand up and do the right things by the Spirit of God, because you are being led to do so, Romans 8:14, controversy is going to follow you. As I like to say by comparison, when I step out, I am a lightning rod, I'm a lightning rod because the enemy knows the power of the Spirit of God within those that belong to him. And I want to make one more point clear before we get to this. It's interesting that Watchman Nee actually nailed this because yesterday I received a text about temperance and self-control and how when you mature, you begin to mellow out a little bit.
Speaker 2 - Host: And I'm thinking to myself, what Bible is this person reading? I can tell you that this person is not reading the Bible. I'm sorry. Those who are born in the fire will never settle for the smoke. Those who settle for the smoke were never born in the fire, because the Bible says we're called to be ministers of the flames of fire. And we have a Spirit of earnestness within us. This is what I am going to address in just a couple of minutes. Watchman Nee said, “By the time the average Christian gets his temperature up to normal, everybody thinks that he has a fever.” I want to tell you why: they are carnal men. That's it. They're just carnal men. They have no idea what they're talking about. They've been feeding on the dead letter. They have never repented; because they have never repented, they have never obeyed; and because they have never obeyed, they have never received the Holy Ghost. Acts 5:32.
Speaker 2 - Host: They have never exhibited in any sense of the word fruits of repentance. And yet they're the ones to criticize those that are on fire for the Lord. Again, remember, we are not going to be judged on a curve, friends. And we better understand that he's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Well, so is the Holy Ghost who's been sent down from heaven to preach through us for his glory. And remember, He comes to convict of sin, righteousness, and judgment. And I want to say to my listeners who do not know the difference, because they're still carnal men. They are still in a reprobate state. You need to understand what I just said is actually applicable to every area of our lives. So we're going to get to that in just a couple of minutes. I want to highlight this. People, you do know and you are aware of the fact that your so-called representative government on the federal level and on the state level on so many fronts, not all, but a majority of them, especially on the federal level, have played Judas with you, Luke 22:48.
Speaker 2 - Host: You have been hijacked. And what am I talking about? I want you to listen to this. And I'm probably going to have to do this when we come back. So I'll just throw something in front of what I was going to say momentarily. And then we'll get to the audio and video for you. I do want to tell you, if you want to jump online, you can do that. SonsofLibertyMedia.com. SonsofLibertyMedia.com. If you want to know who we are and who you're listening to, go to SonsofLibertyRadio.com. Judge me by my fruits. 2 Corinthians 11:14-15. But also go over to BeforeItsNews.com. BeforeItsNews.com on social media platforms, top left side of that page. And I just want to throw this out there for you, especially to the new listeners. I would love to hear from you. Pro or con, Jude 3 and 4, it matters not. If you want to call in, that number is 281-845-4704. 281-845-4704. And I also want to let the new listener know that if this is the first time listening to the SonsofLibertyRadio.com, do remember that this is the radio show where we think for ourselves and make not others the measure of our conduct.
Speaker 2 - Host: And why is that, friends? Because it is a terrible place to be when your brains are in someone else's head. It is true that we follow Christ. Okay. The Constitution and Heaven are our only firm and sound foundations. Buchanan said that. And what did Andrew Jackson say at the end of his life when he got saved, friends? “The Bible is the rock upon which a republic rests.” Article 4, section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. Read the Preamble as well as the ending of the U.S. Constitution: “in the Year of our Lord.” We will be right back. SonsofLibertyRadio.com.
Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Christian Media Conference Promo Voice(s): And God wants to use your content - yes, you - to spread the message of Christ. That is why God gave us content. Content changed my life and solidified my career. You do not have to take my word for it; listen to them.
Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Christian Media Conference Promo Voice(s): [The following testimonial montage contains several partially unclear phrases.]
Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Christian Media Conference Promo Voice(s): “I can get really overwhelmed. Content changed my life.”
Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Christian Media Conference Promo Voice(s): “Content is all happening here.”
Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Christian Media Conference Promo Voice(s): “I come to these events, and I am so encouraged. These are my people. This is where I belong.”
Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Christian Media Conference Promo Voice(s): “These guys got funding.”
Speaker 3 - Prerecorded Christian Media Conference Promo Voice(s): “It has opened so many doors. I feel that it is possible to work in the filmmaking industry at such a young age.”

Speaker 4 - Prerecorded Sons of Liberty Announcer: Don't have a place to go to church on Sunday? Then come join us at the Sons of Liberty and Bradley Dean. For many people, finding a home church that preaches the gospel in accordance with Scripture can be difficult. Many churches today have become self-help centers and very humanistic without pointing people to Christ and the cross that all genuine Christians must bear just as our Lord did. If you are looking for a church that preaches the truth without compromise from the inerrant Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, then look no further than joining us every Sunday at 9 a.m. Central Time on the Sons of Liberty Radio, live on Rumble.
Speaker 5 - Dave Krieger: This is Dave Krieger, host of the Krieger Files and station manager of W-E-A-G-F-M serving Star, Florida, and surrounding areas. Bradley Dean and the Sons of Liberty Radio are a regular feature on this radio station as Bradley's ministry has touched tens of thousands of people who need to know the truth and know the Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For that, Bradley Dean, we are thankful. Keep up the Lord's work, my friend.
Speaker 2 - Host: Welcome back again to the Sons of Liberty. The call-in number is 281-845-4704. We are going to start rolling here, friends.
Speaker 2 - Host: I want to highlight this. Did you know that Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland are all seeking the arrest of the man who has now hijacked and gained absolute, extortive control over your so-called representatives in the federal government and at the state level?
Speaker 2 - Host: I am talking about Mylikowski. You know him. He is Polish. Just so you know, he is Polish. He is claiming to be something he is not. His name is not even Netanyahu, friends; it is Mylikowski. Yet, somehow or another, you have your so-called representative president pulling out the chair for this man.
Speaker 2 - Host: Here, I want to show you who he works for, and I want you to see what is happening in modern-day Israel as well. I was going to play this during the last segment, but we ran out of time. This is Ted Pike. He tried to warn us back in 1987. So did Pat Buchanan. So did Barry Goldwater. Folks, there are a lot of courageous individuals. You have Massie trying to do the same thing today, and people are acting as though it has nothing to do with them. It has everything in the world to do with you, people.
Speaker 6 - Ted Pike: [Unclear opening words, possibly “My wife, Elaine.”] Today, a foreign government - Israel - operates the most powerful lobby in Congress. This is AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Through control of Congress, Israel demands and gets nearly $5 billion annually. No elected official dares criticize Israel for fear that the Jewish lobby will accuse him of anti-Semitism - the kiss of death for any politician. The president also knows that what Israel wants, Israel gets.
Speaker 2 - Host: This is 1987.
Speaker 6 - Ted Pike: Otherwise, it is political suicide. The mass media, founded and controlled primarily by Jews, manipulates the spigot of information out of which heartland America drinks. The message of this contaminated source is: if you criticize Israel, you are anti-Semitic.
Speaker 2 - Host: And that is just not the case. Let me go over to Barry Goldwater. For the sake of time, I am not going to get to Pat Buchanan's full remarks, but they were very brave, bold, and educational. These warnings, friends, are from the same era, back in the 1980s, that the American people today have completely forgotten.
Speaker 8 - Barry Goldwater: Well, I think Israel probably has more effect on Congress than any country in the world, and more effect, probably, than on some issues in America.
Speaker 7 - Archival Interviewer / Moderator: Well, Senator, that reminds me of something that has not been mentioned in this campaign.
Speaker 8 - Barry Goldwater: I know. We have all watched - you have watched, I have watched, everybody has watched - the Israeli soldiers beating up on Palestinians for the last week.
Speaker 2 - Host: This is in 1988. It is exactly what is happening today.
Speaker 8 - Barry Goldwater: It is really the tail wagging the American dog. Something is wagging the American dog. It might be the tail; it might be the leash. I do not know, but they certainly run this place. They certainly run this place.
Speaker 7 - Archival Interviewer / Moderator: What do you think, very briefly, United States policy should be toward Israel?
Speaker 9 - Pat Buchanan: I think we ought to get real tough with it. [The next sentence is too garbled to reconstruct confidently.] Yes, if necessary. You have to remember that the PLO, in all the history of this world, have never had a piece of land that they could call their own.
Speaker 2 - Host: Wow. We are being told just the opposite by the current administration and the mainstream media.
Speaker 2 - Host: Is that not what the mainstream media - the useful idiots - have been doing for a long time by giving aid and doing their best to cover for conspirators who are pulling their strings? Absolutely. Nothing new. John 8:44; read it when you get a moment.
Speaker 2 - Host: Some will say, “Bradley, what are you talking about?” I am telling you that what you are dealing with today, for the new listener, is not the Israel of God. It is a counterfeit of the Israel of God. Do not ask me; ask Jesus, because He confronted them in John 8:44. He said they would claim to be Jews, but were lying. He called them the synagogue of Satan. Judge them by their fruit. That is Revelation 3:9.
Speaker 2 - Host: When you look at Romans 2:28-29, it says that merely claiming something does not make it so. Romans 9 addresses the same distinction between the flesh and the Spirit. That is as far as I am going to go with that.
Speaker 2 - Host: I also want you to understand that not one prime minister since the inception of modern-day Israel has used a real name, nor have they been from that region of the world; they are European. They have taken on something, friends, that is not true. Again, maybe this explains why so many countries want him arrested.
Speaker 2 - Host: I am talking about none other than Mylikowski. Again, his name is not Netanyahu. That is the name sold to you, just like professional wrestlers are sold stage names. Their surnames are made up. They are actors; they are acting and playing you. Jesse Ventura said professional wrestling and politics are identical, so what is the difference? There is not one.
Speaker 2 - Host: Some people have a problem with what I am saying. Why do you not listen to Jacob Rothschild? Everybody talks about the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers, and about those they believe are controlling the world - evil men and evil families. You do not have to take what I am telling you as proof, friends; listen to the people being discussed. Here is Jacob Rothschild speaking about the creation of modern-day Israel in modern Jewish history.
Speaker 7 - Archival Interviewer / Moderator: And it begins with three words: “Dear Lord Rothschild.” “Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations, which has been submitted to and approved by the Cabinet.”
Speaker 7 - Archival Interviewer / Moderator: Why was it that this letter was sent by the Foreign Secretary to your great-uncle Walter?
Speaker 10 - Jacob Rothschild: It is an interesting question because it was primarily a movement from Eastern Europe, but it was not clear who was in charge of that movement. In addition, it was our branch in Great Britain, so they felt that the Rothschild family should be the one to whom it was addressed. Walter was Lord Rothschild, and he was [unclear].
Speaker 2 - Host: There you go again, friends. You know that little blue flag you have waving in your so-called churches? If they tell you it is the Star of David, there is no such thing. If they tell you it is the Seal of Solomon, there is no such thing. Get out of there. It is the Star of Remphan, Acts 7:43.
Speaker 2 - Host: Read it. Cross-check everything I am telling you, friends, because that is Zionism. And what is Zionism? It is another political language: a group of wicked men getting together, playing the victim, claiming they will right all wrongs, and continually trying to create a war against God. That is exactly what you are seeing right now.
Speaker 7 - Archival Interviewer / Moderator: We are going to see the powerful declaration, and I have a copy here. I wonder whether I could ask you to read it for us.
Speaker 10 - Jacob Rothschild: Yes, indeed. I am going to put on my spectacles to make sure I read it.
Speaker 10 - Jacob Rothschild: “His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours, Arthur James Balfour.”
Speaker 7 - Archival Interviewer / Moderator: And here it is, the Balfour Declaration. What do you feel when you see it here?
Speaker 10 - Jacob Rothschild: I genuinely feel it is one of the most extraordinary moments in the history of the Jewish people. If you think about it, it took 3,000 years to get to this. Then you say, how did this miracle happen? It was the most incredible piece of opportunism. You had an impoverished would-be scientist, Chaim Weizmann, who somehow got to England, met a few people - including members of my family - and seduced them. He had such great charm and conviction. He got to Balfour, and he unbelievably persuaded Balfour, Lloyd George, the prime minister, and most of the ministers that this idea of a national home for Jews should be allowed to take place. I mean, it is so, so unlikely. And then he -
Speaker 2 - Host: They are claiming to be what they are not, people.
Speaker 10 - Jacob Rothschild: It was a slightly difficult battle with the British Cabinet, and this letter went through at the top.
Speaker 2 - Host: Okay, so there you have it. It does not get any clearer. I am showing the image right now on the social-media platforms at SonsofLibertyMedia.com and BeforeItsNews.com. “My family created modern-day Israel.” It is not the Israel of God, people. They are claiming to be what they are not.
Speaker 2 - Host: If people would read their Bibles, we would not even be having this conversation. If you are going to a place that calls itself a church and it has what they call a Star of David or Seal of Solomon, you had better get out of there because there is no such thing biblically. It is all man-made.
Speaker 2 - Host: When you listen to these heretics across the country who are pro-Zionist, get away from them, friends, and ask them to define Zionism. I have just laid the axe to the root of the tree right here. We will be right back. SonsofLibertyRadio.com.

Speaker 4 - Prerecorded Sons of Liberty Announcer: “Every time we turn our heads the other way, when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we're too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.” - Robert Kennedy. “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. Or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” Martin Luther, the great reformer, stated, “When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.” At the Sons of Liberty, we are in the trenches doing what it takes to protect our liberty.

Speaker 2 - Host: Okay, so let's get to this, folks. I want to highlight the fact that you're not going to be judged on a curve. What happens is that people adjust themselves to the standard of fallen man rather than the risen Christ. That is completely backward from how we are supposed to work out our own salvation. We go to the standard. I mean, we want perfect sanctification. Then we better go by the standard set before us, but not by the standard of men in any sense of the word. And yet that's what we see people do. And what am I talking about? Four hours ago, someone said to me, “Real maturity begins when you stop reacting to every situation with emotion and start responding with wisdom, patience, and self-control.” Boy, isn't that something? Man, I'm sorry. I mean, I almost feel like I'm supposed to apologize for my ministry. I almost act like I'm supposed to apologize for what it is that I'm led to do.
Speaker 2 - Host: And this is a prime example of what I'm talking about. So what did I say? Of course, I had to respond because I'm contending for the faith, Jude 3 and 4. I said, isn't that interesting? I said, what was the problem? Speaking as a man, what problem did Jesus have? For example, Jesus entered into the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” He said, “My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves.” How is it that they are not zealous over the people of God? How is it that they're okay with sacrilege? How is it that they're okay when they profane the things of the living God? How is it that they're not angry? How is it that they're not indignant? How is it that they do not hate the things the Lord hates and love the things the Lord loves?
Speaker 2 - Host: I'm just asking because it doesn't line up with Scripture in any sense of the word. You know, my Bible tells me in 2 Corinthians 10:6, it says - and listen carefully - “and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” Folks, I have been lit my whole life, but I'm lit now in a spiritual sense. I am a driven human being, and I always have been. And I figure that if I can go around and listen to people brag about how bad they were as sinners, rather than how great Christ is as a Savior from sin, Matthew 1:21, I can set the record straight as well concerning not having excuses or using myself as an excuse for not doing what the Word requires. I mean, look at Colossians 1:29 concerning the earnestness of the Spirit. Look at the earnestness of the Spirit. How often do you see that? But let me go over to 2 Corinthians 7:10-11 before I start to roll here. What 2 Corinthians 7:10-11 tells us is: “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.” That means you are sorry for violating and transgressing God's moral law, as expressed in Exodus 20.
Speaker 2 - Host: The passage continues: “For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort.” Now the question being proposed and spelled out for us concerning this exposition written by Paul in 2 Corinthians 7:10, he starts to itemize the fruits of repentance. And what does he say after a godly sort? What does the fruit of godly repentance bring forth? “What carefulness it wrought in you.” What did King David say? He said, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” What did Jesus tell the woman brought before Him in John 8? He said, “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” The Old Testament standard is fulfilled in the New Testament. I continue on. “What carefulness it wrought in you.” What clearing of yourselves? The Bible says that I offend no man and offense does not mean that I'm offending them in the sense of preaching the word of God against them.
Speaker 2 - Host: No, when I see a man in sin, the Bible tells me that I am not to hate my brother, but I'm to rebuke my brother, causing him to turn from his sin in Leviticus 19:17. The Bible also says in 1 Timothy, chapter 6, that when people sin, you are to rebuke them before all so that others also may fear. Notice that was also found in the New Testament, which was a fulfilling of the old. But again, clearing of myself in my ministry is making sure that as I warn man day and night to repent before a living God, that shows you and it also shows the Lord that I am obedient unto Him. And if it offends man because he wants to remain in his sin, then so be it because I'm not here to offend God. Love works no ill; their blood is off my hands. “What clearing of yourselves” is another fruit. Then it speaks of indignation. Indignation about what? About that which put Christ on the cross. What put Christ up on the cross?
Speaker 2 - Host: Our sins. And if we're repentant of that, we're going to be indignant towards anything that would do it again. Isn't that right? And then it says, yeah, what fear? The fear of God and departing from wickedness and hating evil, pride, arrogance, and the wicked way. The list goes on, friends. That's another fruit. “What vehement desire!” What vehement desire. We're talking about the Spirit of God. He's telling us the fruit of repentance is a vehement desire. Boy, where is that? Here, let me give it to you this way, because I find myself asking the question continuously as to what's going on in this country. Again, let me make it clear that I am not talking to a third-world country. I am talking to you, America. And what am I talking about? A vehement desire. How is it that I continuously look around waiting to see somebody that walks in that vehement desire, which is fueled by the Holy Ghost, with that person being led by the Holy Ghost concerning the sins of this nation that offend the living God.
Speaker 2 - Host: Where is it? Where is it? How many times have I asked people around me, “Why is it that I seem to be the only one angry about that?” [Unclear phrase in source audio.] Well, guess what? When you're born of the Spirit of God, guess what? You have His heart. How do I know that? Because when I look at Romans 5:5, pointing the finger and making reference to the word of God to confirm what it is that I'm telling you by testimony, the Bible tells us that the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts by who? By the Holy Ghost, not by the standard of man. No, but by the Holy Ghost. It is a holy, vehement love, friends. And yeah, then it talks about the fruit of zeal. “The zeal of My Father's house has eaten Me up.” Not only did David say that, but Christ said that. Are you zealous over the things of God? Are you offended by those that compromise and walk around as counterfeits under the dissimulation of being something that they're clearly not?
Speaker 2 - Host: Trying to convince the world that they're the standard of Christianity when nothing could be further from the truth? Yeah, that's the fruit of repentance. What zeal? Then it says, “Yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.” How is it that man is okay with offending God? By lowering the standard? We're not here to offend God. We're here to praise God. We're here to talk about the wonderful works of God. We're to be faithful witnesses who deliver souls because “open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Where is their love? Hey, don't rock the boat. Hey, come on, Bradley, you haven't learned anything yet. Well, by the looks of it, if I'm going to sit here and watch you and learn from you what Christianity looks like, I can tell you right now that is exactly why I'm on the radio calling people out like you because you are the furthest thing from an example of what a Christian is to be.
Speaker 2 - Host: And it's offensive. Where is the fruit of repentance? No, you want to tone everybody down so they all look at you because you're self-righteous. Do you know what is self-righteous, friends? People that have no regard for the word of God. They don't make reference to the word of God. They don't put their feet upon the rock. No, self-righteousness, friends, is found in those who are trying to establish a Christianity that looks like themselves. They're looking for followers. I'm here to tell you I'm not. I'm a preacher. I'm driving you to the foot of the cross where you seek Him and Him alone. And until you receive the fullness of what He has promised you, don't you dare listen to what a man has to say because that is how denominations start, Americans. And that is the problem that we have in this country. It's not a witness of a resurrected Spirit any longer which the enemy fears. No, these people are too busy trying to attack anybody that's actually on fire by the Spirit of God.
Speaker 2 - Host: And is that true? Oh my goodness, folks, I've lived it for decades in ministry. I go out and about. I am going outside the camp and bearing the reproach of Christ. Well, these people are standing there with rocks waiting to pelt me with them just like the disobedient children of Israel when Joshua and Caleb came back and showed them the good fruit, with the message that they were well able to overcome. They don't want to hear that. They want you to mellow out. They don't want you doing what it is that they are not doing, friends, which is a lack of Christianity, which is a lack of Christianity. Let me say it again, friends. You are not going to be judged according to Billy Graham. You are not going to be judged according to Jesse Duplantis, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyer, or these other people whom I call heretics and Zionists who are part of the club. You're not going to be judged according to them.
Speaker 2 - Host: You are going to be judged according to Christ. I want to tell you that the reason you have so many denominations in this country and worldwide is because of just that. You've left off Christ and you've taken up man. You've left off Christ and you've taken on man. That is why I say, “Repent.” We will be right back.
Speaker 4 - Prerecorded Sons of Liberty Announcer: Don't have a place to go to church on Sunday? Then come join us at the Sons of Liberty and Bradley Dean. For many people, finding a home church that preaches the gospel in accordance with Scripture can be difficult. Many churches today have become self-help centers and very humanistic without pointing people to Christ and the cross that all genuine Christians must bear, just as our Lord did. If you are looking for a church that preaches the truth without compromise from the inerrant Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, then look no further than joining us every Sunday at 9 a.m. Central Time on the Sons of Liberty Radio, live on Rumble.
Speaker 13 - Sam: This is Sam. Are you tired of listening to radio show hosts, public speakers, do-nothing politicians, weak and effeminate men who do nothing but talk and talk about the issues we face in our country today, resolving nothing? So am I. And that's why I listen to Bradley Dean in the Sons of Liberty radio show. Bradley's message of hope and resolve is not only something broadcast through the airwaves, but also something that he takes to the enemy's front door with a vehement passion. Believe me, I know I've witnessed that every step of the way as his son for the last 18 years. I don't know about you, but in our country today, we need men now more than ever who are willing to take action and not hide behind the safety of a Facebook post from your fake-name social-media account.
Speaker 13 - Sam: Bradley demonstrates his words through actions by preaching nationwide at churches, prisons, high schools, event centers, college campuses and so much more. Step up to the plate and be the man or woman God called you to be and join Bradley Dean and others in this fight for our generation and future generations alike.

Speaker 2 - Host: BBSRadio.com
Speaker 2 - Host: I am going to go over to Jude quickly because I make reference to it quite a bit. I want to tell you what happens during the breaks, friends. I stick to my thoughts and I get these little downloads, and they are what I come back to. I want to show you what's foreign to these people that I'm highlighting right now. “Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified.” The epistle is written to those that are sanctified by God the Father and preserved in Jesus Christ and called: “Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.” What is the first thing he says in verse 3? “Beloved, when I gave all diligence” - that word means painstakingly - “to write unto you of the common salvation,” “it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” See, that is a thing of the past.
Speaker 2 - Host: I will get to that in a moment. “For there are certain men crept in unawares” - America is filled with them - “who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,” carnal lusts, “and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Wow. So that is what you are talking about, Bradley, when you refer to Jude 3 and 4. Yes, absolutely. I want to show you something here because, again, you are not going to be judged on a curve. You are going to be judged by the standard. I want to tell you this, too. The greatest miracle that God can perform is to take an unholy man out of an unholy situation, clean him up, sanctify him, make him holy, and then send him back into that unholy situation. That is where men see the glory that grace provides in salvation. What am I talking about? Well, you just heard me say that men love to talk about what they call their conversions and they will spend 45 minutes to an hour talking about all the bad things they did.
Speaker 2 - Host: They call it sin and say, “I am a sinner saved by grace,” and they love to keep people in the hospital, right? But what's interesting about that is they talk about how bad they were and they boast about it like they were proud of it. They make jokes of it. They make light of it. That is exactly what they do, right? That is not a testimony. Then, for five or ten minutes, they talk about how Jesus saved them. Then all you have to do is sit back and say, “Well, what did He save you from?” because it still sounds like you love your sin. I don't see the old man dead at the cross. No, I see you dead in your sin and boasting in your sin. The way grace is glorified is through your salvation and redemption that Jesus Christ provides for us. My boast is not how bad a sinner I was. My boast is how great a Savior from my sin He is. That is the difference between a genuine salvation testimony and one that is not, and I see them all the time.
Speaker 2 - Host: But again, what people love to do is they love to talk about themselves. They love to do that. Christianity is not about you, people; it is about Him. As a matter of fact, the first thing Jesus said was, “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me.” But what we hear is people talking about themselves and what God is going to give them, and about all their hurts. As I said, they love to stay in the hospital. Yes, the church is for sinners, but if we are saved by grace, we do not stay in the hospital. We come to understand that the hospital is also a barracks, raising us up to become disciples who get out on the battlefield. People do not understand that and there is a reason that the Lord gave us armor - spiritual armor, metaphorically - beginning in Ephesians 6:12. Sorry, folks; my phone started to ring. That armor is for the front, not the back. Let me show you something. When studying the ministry of Martin Luther, the great German reformer, I found what he said about himself.
Speaker 2 - Host: Compare the characteristics I am about to highlight with what you see today. I found that he described himself as rough, boisterous, stormy, and altogether warlike. He said, “I am born to fight against innumerable monsters and devils. I must remove stumps and stones, cut away thistles and thorns, and clear wild forests.” That is what Martin Luther said concerning his characteristics and how the world observed him. He was apostolic, and he was a prophet. He was called to slay sin, not to play with it - Hosea 6:5. Now I ask: how does this match the true character of the apostolic prophet Martin Luther with today's cherry-picked, out-of-context quotations and out-of-character depictions of him in movies and paintings? They have clearly softened his person to an extreme to meet today's modified version. Again, Martin Luther said, “Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be steady on all battlefields besides is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that one point.” That one point is what many men who call themselves preachers avoid today.
Speaker 2 - Host: They always have to play it safe and be part of a good-old-boy club, but that is not what the Spirit of God teaches us - not at all. It seems that, in the present state of church affairs in America, instead of rising to the level expected of followers of Christ, men want to remove the cross and make their posterity - their children - into the same image, enemies of the cross. A great way to explain that is to look at the report card of the church - namely, the culture. It reminds me of what John Wesley said: what one generation tolerates, the next generation will embrace. That is right. Luke 7:35. The great English field preacher John Wesley was born in 1703 and died on March 2, 1791. He preached 90 percent law and 10 percent grace - Galatians 3:24. John has been credited with saying to his evangelical students, “When you preach, people are either going to get angry or they are going to get saved.” Wow.
Speaker 2 - Host: I wonder who his standard was. Did you know that John was kicked out of the established church for confronting the heretical teachings of the day? Just like any other real prophet, the Lord used that to push him out to the masses, where he faithfully preached. It was said that after John Wesley's death, congregants complained that accurately painted pictures of him were too rough in countenance. The actual paintings made him look like one tried in the fire. Instead of painting John Wesley as he truly was, they accommodated and appeased the religious hypocrites of the day by painting an effeminate, softened, and toned-down version of him. Again, it was painted to adjust John Wesley to their own likeness. Not this boy. This anointing is not for sale, folks. John Wesley also famously said, “Give me 100 preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God. I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth.” Amen.
Speaker 2 - Host: How does this line up with what one observes in the American church today? Founding Father Roger Sherman, a signer of the Declaration of Independence who lived through the War of Independence, warned his posterity - you and me - not to forget who we are and where we came from. Roger Sherman said, “Sad will be the day when the American people forget their traditions and their history, and no longer remember that the country they love, the institutions they cherish, and the freedoms they hope to preserve were born from the throes of armed resistance to tyranny and nursed in the rugged arms of fearless men.” Whoa. Does this not remind you, friends, of what Jesus said of John the Baptist in Matthew 11:7-9? What did you go out into the wilderness to see - a reed shaken by the wind, a fraidy-cat, a capitulator, a pansy? No. He said, “But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.”
Speaker 2 - Host: “But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.” More than a prophet. He was the greatest prophet born of women. And what was his message? It is the church's message today. John pointed his finger at the corrupt king and called him out for all his evils in Luke 3:19. His message to you and me, to the church, and to the world is: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” That has not changed, nor are you going to tone it down, because, as Micah 2:7 says, you are not going to restrain or control the Spirit of God. It is not going to happen. The Lord is going to have His way, one way or another, whether through a donkey or a man. If it is not a donkey or a man, He will use the rocks to cry out as well. Do not think for one moment, friends, that the Creator of all things cannot do it, because He can, and He is doing it even now. Love you by what we do, folks. [Unclear closing phrase.] I want to say this, too: I do not need any emails.
Speaker 2 - Host: You had one hour to call in, and you did not do it, so I do not want your emails. If you want to talk, talk in front of everybody. That is how we operate here. We do everything before the world. Love you by what we do. See you.
