TODAY ON TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM.
TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT AMERICA’S GREATEST HERO,
THE ONE WHO DID MORE FOR OUR FREEDOM,
FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A
CHRISTIAN NATION HERE THAN ANYONE ELSE.
THERE IS A WAR ON AMERICAN HISTORY,
AND IT'S A WAR OVER THE NARRATIVE OF AMERICAN HISTORY.
WELCOME TO TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM,
A PRODUCTION OF CORAL RIDGE MINISTRIES.
I’M PASTOR ROB PACIENZA.
IN THIS MONTH OF AMERICA’S BIRTHDAY,
WE’VE BEEN CELEBRATING OUR NATION’S CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS
FOUNDATIONS WHICH HAVE MADE HER A BEACON OF FREEDOM
AND HOPE FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD.
BUT TODAY THOSE FOUNDATIONS ARE UNDER ATTACK,
AS THE LEFT TRIES TO REWRITE OUR HISTORY AND DIMINISH AMERICA.
ON TODAY’S PROGRAM,
YOU’LL DISCOVER SOME OF THE MIRACULOUS WAYS IN WHICH
GOD PROTECTED THE FOUNDING OF AMERICA SO THAT THE
GOSPEL COULD GO OUT FROM HERE TO EVERY NATION.
AND WE BEGIN WITH AN INVESTIGATION
OF HOW TRUTHS LIKE THAT ARE BEING SUPPRESSED BY THOSE
WHO ARE WAGING WAR ON AMERICA’S TRUE HISTORY.
OUR OWN DR. JERRY NEWCOMBE HAS MORE.
THE THING I WOULD URGE PEOPLE TO REMEMBER IS THAT
HISTORY IS TO A CULTURE WHAT THE MEMORY IS TO AN INDIVIDUAL,
IF ONE DAY, I WAKE UP AND I’VE LOST ALL MY MEMORY
AND I HAVE AMNESIA AND I DON’T KNOW WHO I AM,
WHERE I LIVE, WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE IN MY HOUSE,
I'M VERY LOST, MY WORLD IS CHAOS,
SO IT IS IF A CULTURE DOESN’T KNOW ITS HISTORY,
ITS LOST ITS COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND AS A RESULT
WE’LL BE LIVING IN CHAOS.
I THINK THE DEGREE TO WHICH WE HAVE
FORGOTTEN OUR HISTORY OR ABANDON IT,
IS THE DEGREE TO WHICH WE ARE LIVING IN CHAOS TODAY.
ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS IS THAT THE AMERICAN HISTORY BOOKS
HAVE BEEN REWRITTEN AND GOD HAS BEEN ERASED
AND, ALONG WITH HIM,
SO ALSO HAS THE TRUTH BEEN ERASED.
THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN OUR CULTURE
WHERE PROGRESSIVES MAINLY ARE TRYING TO EITHER
REWRITE OR GET RID OF HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF THE COUNTRY
ARE NOT NECESSARILY BASED ON PARTICULAR GRIEVANCES THEY HAVE,
BUT ARE AN ATTACK ON THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUES
AND THE PREMISES OF OUR COUNTRY.
ONE ASPECT OF THIS IS BY ACCENTUATING THE NEGATIVE IN
AMERICAN HISTORY AND DOWNPLAYING THE POSITIVE ASPECTS.
WHAT THE PROGRESSIVES ARE DOING IS THEY TAKE OUT
ALL OF THE WORST MOMENTS OF AMERICAN HISTORY,
ALL THE NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY,
LIKE ANY COUNTRY, AMERICA HAS ITS NEGATIVE SIDE,
BUT THEN THEY MAKE THAT THE ENTIRETY OF OUR HISTORY,
THE ENTIRETY OF OUR COUNTRY.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, THOMAS JEFFERSON,
YES, HE WAS A SLAVE HOLDER.
THERE WERE ASPECTS OF HIS LIFE THAT WE DON'T APPROVE OF TODAY,
BUT HE WAS ALSO THE AUTHOR OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
HE WAS ALSO THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA,
A REVOLUTIONARY LEADER.
HE WAS ALSO THE PRESIDENT.
THERE ARE MANY GREAT THINGS ABOUT JEFFERSON,
BUT THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THAT
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DEFINE JEFFERSON
ONLY IN TERMS OF HIS INTERSECTION WITH
THE SLAVE HOLDING AT THAT TIME.
FIGHTING OVER HISTORY ISN’T JUST AN ARCANE ISSUE.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE DYSTOPIAN NOVEL “1984”
BY FORMER SOCIALIST GEORGE ORWELL PRESENTS
A TOTALITARIAN NIGHTMARE OF A FUTURE.
BIG BROTHER AND THE TOTALITARIAN STATE CONTROLS EVERYTHING
AND THEY CONSTANTLY REWRITE HISTORY BECAUSE,
AS THE BOOK STATES,
“WHO CONTROLS THE PAST CONTROLS THE FUTURE.
IN FACT, TO TEACH OR EVEN THINK ABOUT THE NATION’S TRUE HISTORY,
GOOD OR BAD, BECAME A “THOUGHT CRIME.”
1984 IS THE SOURCE OF THAT PHRASE; THOUGHT CRIME
“THERE ARE THOUGHT CRIMINALS WHO MAINTAIN RESISTANCE.”
HERE’S AN EXAMPLE.
WHEN AMERICA WAS BORN, THERE WAS SLAVERY IN THIS NATION.
AS WAS THE CASE VIRTUALLY AROUND THE WORLD.
BUT THE LEFT ARGUES THAT THIS CURSE,
WHICH WAS LATER UPROOTED AT THE COST OF
600,000 AMERICANS IN THE CIVIL WAR,
WAS SOMEHOW UNIQUE TO AMERICA.
THE 1619 PROJECT OF THE NEW YORK TIMES
IS AN EXAMPLE OF THIS REVISIONIST HISTORY.
I REALLY THINK WE’RE IN A CULTURAL WAR RIGHT NOW
AND THOSE OF US WHO BELIEVE IN TRADITIONAL VALUES,
WE ARE, WE ARE COUNTER CULTURE,
WHEN YOU HAVE SCHOOL SYSTEMS AROUND THE COUNTRY
WHO HAVE ADAPTED THE APOLITICAL, ANTI-POLITICAL
HISTORY OF AMERICA, 1619 PROJECT, NEW YORK TIMES,
THERE WERE 20 BLACK JOURNALISTS WHO CAME TOGETHER
TO AUTHOR WHAT THEY CALL THE 1619 PROJECT
AND THEY IDENTIFIED AMERICAS FOUNDING AS
IN 1619 AND NOT 1776 AND
THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT 20 BLACK SLAVES CAME ON THE SHORES
AND THEY SAID BECAUSE OF AMERICA’S HISTORY WITH SLAVERY,
THAT EVERYTHING THAT DEVELOPED FROM THAT,
CAPITALISM, WAS THEREFORE INVALID
AND SO THEY HAVE UNFORTUNATELY HAD THE SUPPORT OF MAJOR
CORPORATIONS AND THEY HAVE TAKEN THIS ANTI-AMERICAN DOCTRINE
AROUND TO PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN ALL PARTS OF
THE COUNTRY AND THIS IS JUST ONE EXPRESSION
OF THIS DENIGRATION OF AMERICAN VALUES.
NOW WE SEE MANY, MANY FORCES IN OUR COUNTRY, THE 1619 PROJECT
AND OTHERS LIKE IT THAT ARE SAYING AMERICA WAS AN ILLICIT,
IMPROPER, IMMORAL NATION FROM THE BEGINNING.
AND THE REASON THEY DO THAT IS BECAUSE THEY SAY,
WELL LOOK AT JULY 4TH, 1776 AND WE HAD SLAVERY
AND WE HAD PROBLEMS OF INEQUALITY IN OTHER AREAS.
WOMEN COULDN'T VOTE.
THERE WERE PROBLEMS.
WELL, THAT'S LIKE JUDGING A
BABY'S LIFE ON THE DAY IT'S BORN.
AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON JULY 4TH, 1776
AND THE IDEALS SHOULD BE OUR JUDGE.
AND SO HAVE WE REACHED OUR IDEALS?
WERE THOSE THE RIGHT GOALS?
THAT'S THE QUESTION TO BE ASKED.
NOT WERE WE REACHING THOSE GOALS ON THE DAY WE WERE BORN,
BUT WERE THOSE THE RIGHT GOALS?
AND THEN THE SECOND QUESTION IS, HOW ARE WE DOING ON THOSE GOALS?
AND OF COURSE THEY'RE THE RIGHT GOALS. OF COURSE.
GOD CREATING US ALL EQUAL. THAT'S A GREAT GOAL.
AMERICA'S GREATNESS IS BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN MARCHING
IN A STEADY PATH TOWARD THOSE GOALS WELL,
THERE IS A WAR ON AMERICAN HISTORY,
AND IT'S A WAR OVER THE NARRATIVE OF AMERICAN HISTORY.
AND THE PEOPLE, THE PROGRESSIVE SIDE COULD SAY,
WELL, EVERYTHING THAT THEY TALK ABOUT ARE FACTS.
LIKE THAT'S HISTORY. YES,
THEY ARE FACTS OF HISTORY. THAT'S TRUE.
BUT WHAT IS THE NARRATIVE?
THEIR NARRATIVE IS THAT AMERICA WAS FOUNDED
ON ALL THESE EVIL THINGS,
THAT IT'S A COUNTRY OF OPPRESSION,
THAT IT'S A COUNTRY OF BIGOTRY AND DISCRIMINATION.
THAT'S THE ENTIRETY OF AMERICA.
WHEREAS A MORE TRADITIONAL NARRATIVE,
A MORE NUANCED NARRATIVE, WOULD SAY, YES,
THERE ARE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF OUR COUNTRY,
BUT THE OVERALL THEME OF AMERICA
IS FREEDOM AND LIBERTY AND PROGRESS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ACT LIKE THEY'RE ASHAMED OF AMERICA,
ASHAMED OF ITS PAST, IMPERFECT, OF COURSE IT IS,
PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED AND THEREFORE ITS IMPERFECT
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE IMPERFECT
I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THEY WENT AFTER DR. KING
BECAUSE OF HIS CHRISTIAN FAITH,
YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE,
IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH USING RACE AS A BLUDGEON
TO TRY TO DESTROY CIVIC INSTITUTIONS IN AMERICA,
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE, THEY'RE USING RACE
AND THEY'RE HIGH JACKING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
IN THEIR QUEST TO UNDERMINE THIS COUNTRIES FOUNDING VALUES
IT’S VERY PROBLEMATIC,
BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE BEING TAUGHT
THAT AMERICA IS AN EVIL COUNTRY,
IT’S AN OPPRESSIVE COUNTRY AND THAT IS NOT TRUE,
AMERICAN HISTORY WHAT'S REMARKABLE IS THAT
AMERICA HAD AN EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF AMERICA
THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF MISTAKES MADE
BUT THROUGHOUT IT ALL,
THERE WERE PEOPLE TRYING TO CORRECT THOSE MISTAKES.
IT’S A MARXIST GOAL AND THAT IS TO DECIMATE THIS NATION,
TO UNDERMINE IT AND THEY ARE USING HIGH JACK
THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT TO DO THAT
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND,
THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT AMERICA CAN BE FIXED.
IT CAN ONLY BE DESTROYED,
AND ON THE RUBBLE OF OUR JUDEO CHRISTIAN PAST,
A NEW AMERICA CAN EMERGE THAT IS FREE FROM RACISM,
THAT IS FREE FROM CLASS ISM AND SEXISM AND
THAT IS EQUAL FOR EVERYBODY AND WE ALL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
I’VE EXAGGERATED IT A LITTLE BIT BUT NOT MUCH.
SO THE QUESTION IS
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE FREEDOMS OF THE CONSTITUTION?
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH OUR CHRISTIAN HISTORY
AND THE ANSWER IS IT HAS TO BE DESTROYED.
ONE COULD ARGUE THAT WHAT THE WAR ON AMERICAN HISTORY IS IN
EFFECT IS CANCEL CULTURE BEING APPLIED TO THE NATION ITSELF.
HISTORY MATTERS BOTH THE GOOD AND THE BAD.
WE GOT TO TEACH THE WHOLE PICTURE.
WE GOT TO TEACH THE GOOD AND THE BAD OF AMERICAN HISTORY
SO THAT WE CAN LEARN FROM IT,
BECAUSE IF NOT, WE WON'T REMEMBER.
FUTURE GENERATIONS WON'T EVEN KNOW HOW WE ENDED UP
WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
WE ARE MOVING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION.
WHERE CROSSES WENT DOWN THEY COME BACK THEY’D COME BACK UP.
WHERE 10 COMMANDMENTS WERE PUT IN CLOSETS THEY COME BACK OUT.
THE LANDMARK SUPREME COURT RULING CONFIRMED THAT IS NOT
UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE GOD IN PUBLIC LIFE.
AND THERE IS SOMETHING YOU AND I CAN DO RIGHT NOW
TO RESTORE GOD TO PUBLIC PLACES.
A FEDERAL JUDGE BANISHED THE GRANITE 10 COMMANDMENTS MONUMENT
FROM THE ALABAMA SUPREME COURT BUILDING IN 2003
BUT YOUR SIGNATURE ON OUR RESTORE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
PETITION WILL HELP PERSUADE THE ALABAMA SUPREME COURT
TO RETURN GOD’S LAW TO PUBLIC DISPLAY.
GO TO CRM.TV TODAY TO SIGN THE PETITION.
HELP US MOVE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION.
IF YOU STAND YOU’VE GOT THE FREEDOM, WE’VE GOT THE MOMENTUM
AND I THINK WE CAN TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK.
BUT THAT’S GOING TO DEPEND UPON THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.
PLEASE SIGN THE RESTORE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS PETITION AND
TOGETHER WE WILL LIFT UP CHRIST IN AMERICA AS LORD OF ALL.
OF COURSE, AMERICA IS NOT A PERFECT NATION.
NONE IS, IN THIS SINFUL, FALLEN WORLD.
BUT AMERICA, DESPITE HER SINS, HAS BEEN A SHINING LIGHT
TO THE REST OF THE WORLD FOR MOST OF HER HISTORY.
AND SHE HAS OFFERED MORE FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY
TO EVERYONE WITHIN HER BOUNDARIES
THAN ANY OTHER NATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
THAT SORT OF SUCCESS DOESN’T COME BY ACCIDENT.
THE FACT IS THAT GOD BLESSED AMERICA
SO THAT AMERICA COULD BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS.
AND THOUGH YOU’LL RARELY HEAR THIS
IN OUR MODERN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM,
HISTORY SHOWS US THAT GOD’S INTERVENTION ON BEHALF
OF AMERICA HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
IF WE FORGET THAT, WE’LL FORGET OUR PURPOSE
AND WE MAY JUST LOSE THAT BLESSING.
DR. D. JAMES KENNEDY SHARES MORE
IN HIS CLASSIC MESSAGE, “AMERICA’S GREATEST HERO.”
TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT AMERICA’S GREATEST HERO,
THE ONE WHO DID MORE FOR OUR FREEDOM,
FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CHRISTIAN NATION
HERE THAN ANYONE ELSE.
AMERICA’S GREATEST HERO IS GOD, THE OFTEN FORGOTTEN ONE.
IT PROBABLY IS RARELY RECOGNIZED AT THIS TIME OF YEAR,
BUT I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO FIND OUT THAT HE DID MORE,
BY FAR, THAN ANY AND EVERYONE ELSE.
GOD DETERMINED TO ESTABLISH HERE A CHRISTIAN NATION.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT?
BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE, AND IF HE HAD NOT DETERMINED TO DO THAT,
WE WOULD NOT HAVE SUCH.
NOW, WE ARE NOT FATALISTS, LIKE THE ISLAMISTS, AH....
WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN SECOND CAUSES;
WE BELIEVE IN THE DIVINE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
AND HIS PROVIDENCE. THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE.
FATALISM DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE SECOND CAUSES.
IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW IT,
YOU ARE A SECOND CAUSE. SO AM I.
SO IS EVERYONE ELSE. GOD IS THE FIRST CAUSE.
THEY ACKNOWLEDGE ONLY GOD, AND THEREFORE, WE HAVE FATALISM,
WHICH IS ALSO VERY DIFFERENT BECAUSE INSTEAD OF
FALLING INTO THE HANDS OF A LOVING AND GRACIOUS FATHER,
IT IS LIKE FALLING INTO
THE IMPERSONAL COGS OF A GREAT MACHINE.
I’LL TAKE PROVIDENCE ANY DAY TO FATALISM.
BUT, NEVERTHELESS, WE STILL BELIEVE
THAT GOD IS THE SOVEREIGN RULER OF THE WORLD,
AND THAT HIS PURPOSES WILL STAND,
AND THAT HE CAN DO THEM ALL,
AND THERE IS NO ONE THAT CAN STAY HIS HAND
OR SAY UNTO HIM, “WHAT DOEST THOU?”
GOD IS THE RULER STILL OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
AND HIS PURPOSES WILL COME TO PASS.
HE PURPOSED TO ESTABLISH A CHRISTIAN NATION
HERE ON THESE SHORES SAVED FOR SO MANY CENTURIES
BETWEEN TWO GREAT OCEANS.
NOW, I KNOW THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
THAT WOULD QUESTION EVEN THAT STATEMENT,
THAT THIS NATION WAS ESTABLISHED AS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY.
I WOULD ONLY WANT TO REMIND THEM, AS MOST OF YOU KNOW,
THAT IN 1892 THIS QUESTION CAME BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT:
IS THIS OR IS THIS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION?
THEY EXAMINED EVERY SINGLE DOCUMENT
THOUSANDS OF PAGES OF DOCUMENTS CONCERNING EVERYTHING THAT HAD
TO DO WITH THE FORMATION OF AMERICA THEY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY,
AND THEIR DECISION INCLUDED THESE WORDS.
“THIS IS A RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION.”
TODAY, I’D LIKE TO HAVE YOU SEE HOW IT CAME TO BE THAT WAY
AND MAYBE YOU’LL HAVE A GREATER APPRECIATION
OF GOD’S PART IN THAT.
WE COULD, INDEED, HAVE BECOME A SPANISH NATION,
VERY SIMILAR TO ANY ONE OF MANY IN SOUTH OR CENTRAL AMERICA,
AND THERE WAS THE ATTEMPT BY SPAIN TO CONQUER ENGLAND,
FROM WHICH THERE CAME THE PILGRIMS AND THE PURITANS
AND THE EVANGELICAL GOSPEL THAT THEY BELIEVED,
BUT THEY WERE ALMOST CONQUERED.
YOU REMEMBER, IT WAS 1588, AND THE INVINCIBLE ARMADA STREAMED
DOWN THE RIVERS OF SPAIN AND OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
AND TURNED NORTHWARD
THE LARGEST ARMADA EVER SEEN BEFORE.
THERE WAS NO DOUBT THAT ENGLAND WAS TOAST.
AND GOD WIGGLED HIS TOE,
AND A GREAT STORM CAME UP AND A HUGE PORTION OF THAT
NAVAL ARMADA SANK TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
THE BRITISH FLEET AT THAT POINT MET THEM
AND DESTROYED MUCH OF WHAT WAS LEFT.
THEY THEN DECIDED TO SAIL UP AND AROUND GREAT BRITAIN
AND COME DOWN THE OTHER SIDE.
THEY MADE A MISTAKE IN THEIR DETERMINING THE DISTANCE,
THE DIRECTION THEY WERE GOING, AND THEY RAN
THE WHOLE REST OF THE FLEET INTO THE WESTERN SIDE OF IRELAND,
AND THE INVINCIBLE ARMADA WAS NOT INVINCIBLE.
AND THEREFORE, WE HAVE THE KIND OF
NATION THAT WE HAVE HERE TODAY.
WELL, THEN THERE WAS THE FACT THAT
WE COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN FRENCH.
YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW IT.
WE HEAR A GREAT DEAL ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN 1620.
WE EVEN HEAR ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN 1607 IN JAMESTOWN
THE PILGRIMS IN 1620, BUT WHAT ABOUT 1606, ONE YEAR BEFORE.
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THEN?
WE ALMOST BECAME FRENCH, BECAUSE IN THAT YEAR THE FRENCH,
WERE IN CANADA, MADE A GREAT EFFORT TO COME
AND COLONIZE NEW ENGLAND UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF DEMONTS.
THEY MADE THREE ATTEMPTS.
THE FIRST TWO, GREAT WINDS TOOK THEM OUT INTO THE OCEAN.
THE THIRD ONE, THE WIND
DESTROYED THEIR FLEET ALTOGETHER,
AND THEY WENT ASHORE ON THE TREACHEROUS SHOALS OF CAPE COD,
RIGHT ABOUT WHERE THE PILGRIMS LANDED A FEW YEARS LATER.
THEY COULD HAVE MET AN ARMED FRENCH ENCAMPMENT.
BUT GOD HAD OTHER PLANS IN MIND.
AND SO, AT LENGTH THE PILGRIMS LANDED.
RIGHT WHERE GOD BROUGHT THEM AT FIRST,
BECAUSE ABOUT FOUR YEARS BEFORE THAT
A PLAGUE HAD HIT AND KILLED ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THEM
LEAVING NOTHING EXCEPT THE BUSHELS OF CORN
THAT THEY HAD GATHERED BEFORE THE PLAGUE HIT,
WHICH ENABLED THEM TO SURVIVE THAT FIRST WINTER.
GOD, THE SOVEREIGN RULER OF THE SEAS, THE WINDS,
THE WAVES, AND THE STORM BROUGHT THEM HERE
THAT WE MIGHT HAVE A STRONG EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN NATION,
AND THAT WE MIGHT GO FROM HERE
TO TAKE THE GOSPEL TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.
PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THE GOSPEL FROM THESE PLACES.
PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THE GOSPEL FROM THIS CHURCH
TO EVERY SINGLE LAST NATION ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH
EXACTLY WHAT THE PILGRIMS SAID THEY WANTED TO BRING ABOUT.
AND SO WE HAVE A CHRISTIAN NATION WHERE GOD,
OUR GREAT COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, HAD SO ARRANGED HIS PROVIDENCES
THAT THIS WAS BROUGHT TO PASS.
WHEN YOU STOP TO THINK OF IT, IT IS A MAGNIFICENT STORY.
HI, I’M JENNIFER KENNEDY CASSIDY.
MY DAD LOVED AMERICAN HISTORY BECAUSE
HE LOVED THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST,
AND HE SAW THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD
IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE SETTLING AND FOUNDING OF OUR NATION.
AMERICA HAS NEVER BEEN A PERFECT NATION,
AS NO NATION COULD EVER BE IN A SINFUL WORLD.
BUT AMERICA HAS BEEN A BLESSED NATION.
AT A TIME WHEN OUR HISTORY IS BEING REWRITTEN
AND THE FOUNDATIONS FOR OUR LIBERTY ARE BEING CHISELED AWAY,
IT’S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO UNDERSTAND
OUR TRUE HISTORY AND GOD’S ESSENTIAL ROLE IN IT.
THAT’S WHY WE WANT TO SEND YOU AN ENCOURAGING BOOK
THAT WILL TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY
THROUGH AMERICAN HISTORY TO DISCOVER GOD’S BLESSINGS.
IT’S THE FULLY ILLUSTRATED, DELUXE HARDCOVER BOOK,
GOD’S PROMISES FOR THE AMERICAN PATRIOT.
FROM THE ARRIVAL OF THE PILGRIMS TO D-DAY AND BEYOND,
THIS COMPELLING BOOK ILLUMINATES GOD’S OFTEN MIRACULOUS BLESSINGS
ON OUR NATION AND THE IMPORTANT ROLE THE BIBLE HAS PLAYED.
WE’LL SEND IT TO YOU AS OUR THANKS FOR
YOUR GENEROUS DONATION TO THE ONGOING WORK OF THIS MINISTRY.

WE’LL SEND YOU THE BOOK PLUS A DVD

AND FEATURES SCHOLARS AND EXPERTS WHO TRACE
THE CRUCIAL ROLE THAT THE BIBLE AND CHRISTIANITY
PLAYED IN THE SETTLING AND FOUNDING OF AMERICA.
FROM THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT TO THE CONSTITUTION,
THE PRINCIPLES OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN
FOUNDED UPON THE PRINCIPLES OF THE BIBLE.
THE FACT THAT THAT’S NOW A CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT SHOWS
HOW BADLY THE CLASSIC PROGRAM ONE NATION UNDER GOD IS NEEDED.
YOU’LL WANT TO SHOW IT TO YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN,
AND EVERYONE WHO’S BEEN INFLUENCED BY OUR MODERN
ACADEMIC FACULTIES AND MEDIA TO FALSELY THINK THAT
AMERICA IS A PURELY SECULAR STATE.
TO RECAP, WE WANT TO SEND YOU
GOD’S PROMISES FOR THE AMERICAN PATRIOT
IN A BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED, HARDBOUND EDITION
AS THANKS FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATION.

IT TRULY IS REMARKABLE THE WAYS THAT GOD WORKED
TO PROTECT THE SETTLING AND FOUNDING OF THE UNITED STATES.
THAT’S NOT A STATEMENT OF PREJUDICE,
AS IF WE’RE BETTER OR MORE DESERVING PEOPLE.
IT’S JUST A FACT
GOD WORKED IN VIRTUALLY MIRACULOUS WAYS SO THAT
AMERICA COULD BE A FREE NATION
WHERE WE COULD FREELY WORSHIP THE LORD OUR GOD,
PASS OUR FAITH ON TO OUR CHILDREN,
AND EXTEND THE GOSPEL TO EVERY NATION ON EARTH.
BUT AS THE PURITAN COTTON MATHER ONCE SAID,
WE’VE HAD SUCH FREEDOM AND LEISURE IN AMERICA
THAT WE NOW THINK EACH ONE OF US
INVENTS THE TRUTH FOR OURSELVES.
MILLIONS WILL MISS HEAVEN
BECAUSE OF THIS MISPLACED BELIEF.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
HAVE YOU SETTLED YOUR ETERNITY WITH GOD?
THOSE WHO BRAVED THE OCEAN TO COME TO AMERICA
AT THE BEGINNING HAD COURAGE BECAUSE THEY KNEW
THEY WERE SAFE IN HIS HANDS FOR ETERNITY.
DO YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY,
IF YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?
I’M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT IT’S POSSIBLE TO GO TO HEAVEN
AND TO KNOW YOU’RE GOING TO HEAVEN. HOW?
BY PLACING YOUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE, PLUS NOTHING ELSE.
YOUR BEST ATTEMPTS TO DO GOOD WILL ALWAYS FALL SHORT.
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ALL OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
IS LIKE FILTHY RAGS TO GOD.
IT TELLS US
THAT’S THE BAD NEWS.
BUT HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS.
THE BIBLE IMMEDIATELY GOES ON TO SAY THAT,
WHILE ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD,
WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT GOD SENT HIS SON JESUS
TO BE THE PROPITIATION THE APPEASEMENT OF GOD’S WRATH.
JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS TO SATISFY
THE PUNISHMENT OF GOD AGAINST YOUR SIN.
AND YOU CAN RECEIVE THAT FORGIVENESS AS A FREE GIFT
SIMPLY BY PUTTING YOUR FAITH IN JESUS.
IF YOU’VE NEVER DONE THAT,
I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO PRAY WITH ME RIGHT NOW,
FROM YOUR HEART, RIGHT THERE WHERE YOU’RE AT.
“FATHER, I CONFESS TO YOU THAT I AM A SINNER.
I KNOW THAT MY SINS DESERVE YOUR PUNISHMENT,
AND THAT MY ATTEMPTS TO IMPRESS YOU
WITH MY DEEDS ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE.
I WANT TO TURN AWAY FROM MY SINS
AND RECEIVE THE FREE GIFT OF SALVATION.
I’M PUTTING MY TRUST IN YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST,
IN HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION WHICH WERE FOR ME.
I RECEIVE JESUS TODAY AS MY LORD AND MY SAVIOR.
THANK YOU, FATHER, AND HELP ME LIVE NOW FOR YOU.
IN JESUS’ NAME WE PRAY, AMEN.”
IF YOU SINCERELY PRAYED THAT PRAYER WITH ME RIGHT NOW
PLEASE LET US KNOW.
WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU BY SENDING YOU A FREE GIFT.
IT’S BEGINNING AGAIN,
DR. KENNEDY’S BOOK FOR NEW BELIEVERS
TO HELP YOU GET STARTED IN YOUR NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.
