We should just be in a constant state 41 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: of gratitude these last couple of days, especially because think 42 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: about where we were a year ago and where we 43 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: are now, and on July thirteenth, you. 44 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: All remember where you were. 45 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: I hope on July thirteenth, we're just a couple of 46 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: millimeters determine the future of our country, and I think 47 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: for much better and for not for far worse. We 48 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: can say that it's all about how hard we worked 49 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: or what we did. God has not done with America. Everybody. 50 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: God is at work in this country, and God has 51 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: not done with this country. 52 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: So this weekend we celebrate Independence Day, and that is 53 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: the signing of our birth certificate. Now, far too often 54 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: we talk about the declaration, but. 55 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: We don't actually read it. 56 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: Now at Dream City Christian and at Turning Point Academy 57 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: and at real schools in this country, they're learning the 58 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence on word by word. They're going paragraph 59 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: by paragraph, and we're going to do that partially here today. 60 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: It's a long document, it's a beautiful document. But I 61 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: want to first kind of frame the context of the 62 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: signing of the Declaration of Independence, because I think it's 63 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: lost on us exactly what was happening. 64 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: So some people think the signing of. 65 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: The Declaration of Independence was the beginning of the war 66 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: against the British Empire. 67 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: It was not. It did not begin the war. It 68 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: justified the war. 69 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: Back in April of seventeen seventy five, so a year 70 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: and a half basically before a year and a couple 71 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: months before that was Lexington and Concord. So the blood 72 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: was already being spilled way before the declaration. So imagine 73 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: a nation at war and we weren't really sure what 74 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: we were doing or why we were fighting. We just 75 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: knew the British were oppressing us. We knew that tyranny 76 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: was bad, and we weren't even sure how long this 77 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: was going to continue. The Battle of Bunker Hill that 78 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: we all remember learning about growing up. That was in 79 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: June of seven, eighteen seventy five, before the Declaration of 80 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: Independence was written and signed. Now, after that, our founders 81 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: were so pious and they were so Christian. 82 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: Blessed are the Peacemakers. 83 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: They wrote what is called the Olive Branch petition. So 84 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: they sent a letter to the King trying to end 85 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: the war in August of. 86 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: Seventeen seventy five. 87 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: The King responded and said, Nope, you guys are in 88 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: rebellion and I'm going to crush you. So the founders 89 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: were like, Okay, I guess we have a war on 90 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: our hands and we didn't invite it, we don't want it. 91 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: They're oppressing us, and we're going to play to win 92 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: fast forward all the way now to July of seventeen 93 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: seventy six. 94 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: The war is raging. The rich of. 95 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: The colonies are losing their farms, they're losing their ships, 96 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: they're losing everything. And so to leport yourself for a 97 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: moment into a room that is in Philadelphia in July, 98 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: and I wanted to be been in Philadelphiladelphia in July. 99 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: It's not a dry heat. Let me tell you, it's 100 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: not like Phoenix. It is like ninety percent human. That 101 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: is a port city and they're in a room with 102 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: no air conditioning. At any moment, the British Empire could 103 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: have arrived, because it was a port city. They could 104 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: have went into Independence Hall and they would have arrested 105 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: all fifty six men, and they would have hung them, 106 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: every single one of them for treason, one by one. 107 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: These fifty six men had a decision to make. They 108 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: had a decision of whether or not they were going 109 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: to continue this war of which the odds were beyond 110 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: stacked against them. I think President Trump's assent to the 111 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: Presidency's one of the greatest political comebacks ever that pales 112 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: in comparison with the Founding Fathers were up against. They 113 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: had no navy. They'dn't have a ship, theydn' have a canoe. 114 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: They had no permanent alliances, nothing. They had no standing army. 115 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: All they had literally, they were a bunch of farmers, 116 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: merchants and preachers with muskets, right, Luke, That's what the 117 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: Founding fathers were. But they had something that the British 118 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: did not have. They had more faith in the British. 119 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: They had a belief in the divine and they worshiped 120 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: God Almighty. So here is the greatest fighting power. I 121 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: know this might be hard for you to comprehend. Imagine 122 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: if the script was flipped, we right now have the 123 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: world's strongest military. Boy, we saw what our military did 124 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: in Iran. I mean that was unbeliev I flew through 125 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: the night. Incredible. So we have the world's strongest military. 126 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: So imagine as strong a military that we have against 127 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: like a random colony, just pick pick a colony anyway. 128 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: That was how the odds were stacked against it. The 129 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: British Empire. They were well trained. They were bringing in 130 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: Prussian mercenaries from Germany. Thirty six thousand British troops had 131 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: already occupied New York and Boston, this thing looked like 132 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: the rebellion was about to be quelled. It was if 133 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: you were like looking for all the young men out there, 134 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: if you were looking at like the draft kings or 135 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: the you know, let's just say the polymarket betting odds, 136 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: it was like ninety nine point nine to zero point 137 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: one that America or the colonies were going to survive. 138 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: The guys that were kind of taken wages didn't look good. Again, 139 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: some of the older folks like, what are you talking about. 140 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: Gambling is a sin. You guys shouldn't do it as 141 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: much as you do. But the fact that you get 142 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: what I'm saying means that point delivered. 143 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: Okay. 144 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: It was the most unlikely scenario imaginable. And so these 145 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: farmers and these merchants and these preachers with muskets stuck 146 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: themselves into a room and they had a decision to make. 147 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: And for about a week they were like, hey, we 148 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: could surrender. And the reason they didn't surrender is because 149 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: what was happening ten years prior. For ten years, the 150 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: most successful, most robust Christian revival in history was underway. 151 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: And this is the buried lead. 152 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: This is the part of our birth certificate and our 153 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: birthday as Americans. That's not talked about in the media, 154 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: is not talked about in our public schools. 155 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: I'll only maybe talk about the founding. 156 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: Oh they were a bunch of slave owner, terrible people, 157 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: But they don't talk about the ten years before the founding. 158 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: Did you know that there were twenty five thousand sermons 159 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: given over a decade to the population of the thirteen colonies, 160 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: delivered by people like Whitfield and Jonathan Mayhew and Jonathan Edwards. 161 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: So Jonathan Edwards had a sermon that he delivered thousands 162 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: of times. The title of the sermon sinners in the 163 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: hands of an Angry God. That's not exactly a prosperity gospel. 164 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: That's not exactly Hey give me ten dollars and you're 165 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: going to get very rich. That's about as harsh as 166 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: it get. Oh, mister Edwards, thank you to our small 167 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: town here in rural Massachusetts.

Understand, when you 281 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: signed this document, almost two thirds of the entire colonies 282 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: were against this war, one third were neutral, one third 283 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: with the British, and only one third worth support. Only 284 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: three percent ended up fighting, and a small percentage of 285 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: that actual fighting force were. 286 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: Like the ones that drove it forward. 287 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: So imagine if you think you were out numbered for 288 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: not taking the vaccine, if you think you were out 289 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: numbered for not wearing a mask when you showered, if 290 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: you think you were outnumbered, I want you to imagine 291 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: what it was like when everyone around you, This guy 292 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: lost all of his friends.

When you sign something that is you're all 303 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: encompassing body, that is everything, that is, your kids, your grandkids, 304 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: your estate is it is a holy vow that you 305 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: are making. John Morton was alienated by his friends and 306 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: family for switching the Patriot cause. Died in seventeen seventy seven, 307 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: never saw a victory or button.

So why would they do something like this, 310 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: Why would they go up against the greatest power ever 311 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: where they knew they were probably. 312 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 2: Going to lose. 313 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: They did it because they valued being right before God, 314 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: not right before King George. 315 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: The only reason they did it. 316 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: And we should, honestly just remember these founding fathers that 317 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: died and gave up everything. And I want you to 318 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: understand it'd be one thing if you go and die 319 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: for a war and you still have your land, you 320 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: could die at least somewhat at peace that your kids 321 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: are going to be okay, these kids that all entered 322 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: into poverty. This guy thirteen kids nothing, so he dies 323 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: of tormented death. 324 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: I want you to imagine right now that. 325 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: All of your savings disappear and you also die. I mean, 326 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: it would be unthinkable, right Your kids would have to 327 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: go on welfare, they'd have to become beggars. And so 328 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: with all of that context, with that backdrop, the founders 329 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: met in July of seventeen seventy six. They said, Tom, 330 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: must you write the thing right? And they prayed on 331 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: every single word. This was not, by the way, This 332 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: was not like them skimming it. This was not like 333 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: a docu sign or the terms of service on Apple 334 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: when you get a new iPhone and no one reads 335 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: that stuff and you go all the way to the 336 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: bottom like okay, great, yeah, King George, God, thank you. 337 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: Every word was debated, every word was prayed over. I'm 338 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: going to focus on a couple elements I didn't in 339 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: the previous service, but I'm going to say just one. 340 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to repeat one. It begins with when, in 341 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one 342 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them 343 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, 344 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: this separate and equal station to which the laws of 345 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: nature and Nature's God entitle them a decent respect to 346 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the 347 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: causes which impel them to separation. Now, some of that 348 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: is written in a little bit of Old English, so 349 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: it's hard to quite understand what Thomas Jefferson is saying. 350 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: Here's what he's saying, King George. It's not just that, 351 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: it's that's for us to separate from you. All people 352 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: in all time, anywhere around the world deserve to be free, 353 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: not under someone like you. This is a anthem for 354 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: all of history. It is a universal claim. 355 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 3: Hillsdale College Great Books one oh one Ancient to Medieval 356 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 3: course is an absolute game changer. I'm taking it right 357 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: now and you gotta check it out. So before Charlie 358 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 3: ever stepped into a debate stage or behind a microphone, 359 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 3: he understood something important. If you want to lead, you 360 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 3: have to first learn. Charlie believed that ideas shaped character 361 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 3: and conviction and courage, and that's why he spent so 362 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 3: many years studying the classics, the American founding in the Bible, 363 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 3: and he did a lot of that through Hillsdale College's 364 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 3: free online courses. These are real college courses taught by 365 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 3: actual Hillsdale professors. They're amazing the best academics in the country. 366 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 3: One of those courses, like I just said, is Great 367 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 3: Books one oh one Ancient to Medieval, where you'll study 368 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 3: foundational authors like Homer, Augustine Chaucer, writers who shape Western 369 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 3: civilization and they still speak to the deepest questions about 370 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 3: our human nature and courage, and family and government. The 371 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 3: course includes Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, the epic stories of 372 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 3: Achilles and Odysseus that have influenced the West for thousands 373 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 3: of years.

Charlie for Hillsdale dot com. 382 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 3: Learn deeply, think clearly, lead boldly, carry it forward. 383 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: Now I want to emphasize one thing he said here 384 00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: which drove King George crazy. The laws of nature and 385 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: Nature's God entitle him. We as Christians believe that there 386 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: is a God given moral law that is discernible by 387 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: reason and conscious and nations must govern in harmony with it. 388 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: And this is a perfect connection to what Pastor Luke 389 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: said earlier. Why is it that Los Angeles, a bunch 390 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: of bums can walk into Scarbucks and take as much 391 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: food as they want and no one says stop when 392 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: you refuse and you reject God all of a sudden, 393 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: stealing is not wrong when you reject God. Abortion is 394 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: not wrong when you reject God. There's nothing wrong with 395 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: the transgenderism nonsense. Here are five things of which the 396 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: natural Law says in great detail, and by the way, 397 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: it's connected. 398 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 2: To something that comes later in the declaration. Number one. 399 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: We believe because the Bible teaches it, and it's in 400 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: the natural law. Human life is sacred and every single 401 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: life matters, regardless of how small or. 402 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: How big that life is. Why do we believe that? 403 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: We believe that because every human being is made in 404 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: the image of God and is not a mistake. It 405 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: is a miracle, it's not an accident. It is a design. 406 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: And if you have a design, you have a designer. 407 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: If you have creation, you have a creator. And the 408 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: founding fathers on those goodness. And this is where all 409 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden they went, shots fired against the king. 410 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: So the king is reading this, he had to call 411 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: in a bunch of scribes. He couldn't believe it. He 412 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: thought that he was going to get a letter from 413 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: these found from the founding generation. He thought that these colonists, 414 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: these farmers, these merchants, these pastors, they were going to 415 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: do a writ of surrender, please spare us our life 416 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: and don't burn our property. Instead, they got like a 417 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: ten out of ten maximal aggression Trump tweet. Right, they 418 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: got like whoa, Okay, we're going that intense. They went, 419 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,959 Speaker 1: we hold these truths to be self evident. Boom, shots fired. 420 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: All men are created equal. Now that we should applaud that, 421 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: and I wish Americans believe that more and more. But understand, 422 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: the king doesn't believe that he's reading this. I no, 423 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: I'm better than you. I'm the divine right of kings. 424 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm King George. You're not what do you mean? All 425 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,239 Speaker 1: men are created equal? So he had to call in his scribes, like, 426 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: what do they mean by this? They say, well, sir, 427 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: they think that you're equal to them. And what was 428 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: the reason they gave? That they are endowed by their 429 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: creator capital team This was not. This was not because 430 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: they were doing a bunch of study of Greek and 431 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: Roman history, and there are some Greek and Roman influences here. 432 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: It's simply and solely a biblical worldview that expressed itself 433 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: in the Revolution only in Genesis one twenty six and 434 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: one twenty seven, which is universal human equality, that I'm 435 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: not better than Luke, and Luke is not better than me, 436 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: that we are all the same in God's economy. From that, 437 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: then you get natural rights and you get what birth. 438 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: Western civilization understand that if you visit a lot of 439 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: the rest of the world, go and visit India right now, 440 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: go and visit the tribes of Africa. They have cast 441 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: systems and intergenerational ruling structures where not all people are 442 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: created equal. They believe that there's some sort of hierarchy 443 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: to existence. Well, I have more money than you, than 444 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: I'm better than you. Only in America do we pause 445 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: it in our birth certificate nope. Yep, you might have 446 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: more money, but that does mean you have more rights. Yep, 447 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: you might have a nicer car, but I have this. 448 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm same in God's economy, and both of us are 449 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: going to have to go in front of God the 450 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: judge one day, and both of us are equally made. 451 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: Do you understand the significance of that? And it was 452 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: at no small cost. So then the king is reading this, 453 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: He's getting angry and angrier. And this is where it 454 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: gets so profound that among these, oh that's up here 455 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You cannot 456 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: have liberty and you cannot happiness, have happiness if you 457 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: do not protect life. Let us be a state in 458 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: a country again that values life at every possible stage. 459 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 2: From the unborn to the born to the elderly. 460 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: And the founders articulated this beautifully, so I could go, 461 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: I could go in all the different elements here, But 462 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: let me just repeat something I said earlier that a 463 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,719 Speaker 1: rejection of the universal moral order, the natural law that 464 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: was talked about in our birth certificate, the laws of 465 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: nature and Nature's God. We are seeing the consequences of 466 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: what happens when you do not have them. 467 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 2: In the words of GK. 468 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: Chesterton, it's not that when you have know God, people 469 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: believe in nothing. It's that they'll believe in anything. That 470 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: men can give birth, that borders don't matter, that you 471 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: could change your sex on a whim, that life does 472 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: not have any value. 473 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 2: You see, the Founders, they. 474 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: Were able to build the greatest nation ever to exist 475 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: in the history of the world upon eternal biblical scripture 476 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: and truth. And that is not just Charlie Kirk saying 477 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: it today this Independence Day weekend. We need to also 478 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: just look at what the Founders themselves said. This stuff 479 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: you will not hear on CNN, I guarantee it. Patrick Henry, 480 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: who is, let's just say, one of the more outspoken 481 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: people of the Founding generation. He was a little bit 482 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: of a rabble rouser, if you will, kind of he 483 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a bomb thrower. I know 484 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: no one in politics that would probably fit that mold, 485 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,239 Speaker 1: but anyway, he fantasily said, give me liberty, to give 486 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: me death. 487 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 2: That's one of my favorite quotes. 488 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that 489 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: this great nation was founded by Christians, not on religions, 490 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Patrick Henry John Adams, 491 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: the second President, our constitution was made only for a 492 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the 493 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 1: government of any other. It's one of my favorite quotes. 494 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to get to a second quote in a second. 495 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: But everybody, the Declaration and Constitution are tied together. What 496 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: we enjoy as liberty right now starts to vanish, as 497 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 1: you see in la when you no longer have a 498 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: moral or religious people. So when Luke says, why is 499 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: it that there's this kind of soft anarchy and no 500 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: one stands up for what is right, Well, if you 501 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: don't have a moral or Christian framework, then theft is 502 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: not something to oppose. Oh they need the money, you know, 503 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: just let them steal it. I'm sorry. In the Ten Commandments, 504 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: God says dou shall not steal. There was not a 505 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 1: parenthetical that said, however, it's less than one thousand dollars. 506 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: I think it's okay. Private property is robustly defended throughout 507 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: the Bible and throughout the Scripture. John Adams says, quote 508 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: the general principles on which the founding fathers achieved independence 509 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: were the general principles of Christianity. John Adams, in a 510 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: letter to Thomas Jefferson in June twenty eighteen thirteen, We 511 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: pause it that there is a transcendent moral order above us, 512 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: and we are What we are saying here is really 513 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: at odds with a lot of the modern world. James 514 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: Madison said, the only sure foundation for civil liberty is 515 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 1: the Bible, not the teaching of Aristotle, which I love, 516 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: or Plato, or of you know. 517 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: A manual compt or Thomas Hobbs.

It 543 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 2: was serious. 544 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: Christians, serious believers that gave you all the freedom that 545 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: you are able to enjoy. And here is my proof. 546 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: People say, well, that's not true. The why is it 547 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: that no one has been able to replicate America. Why 548 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: is it that we are the freest, greatest nation for 549 00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: now two hundred. 550 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: And forty nine years running. 551 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: Why is them The next richest country in the world 552 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: is China, which is the opposite of almost everything we 553 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: believe a total police state, hyperd totalitarian, very materialistic. Now, look, 554 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: we have to be honest in America. Some of these 555 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: are slipping away in front of us. We worship stuff 556 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: more than we should. But don't fool yourself. There is 557 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: still a remnant that should be admired and encouraged of 558 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: Bible believing Christians and churches like this that love God 559 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,239 Speaker 1: and love people and work for His purposes every single day. 560 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: And we don't do a good enough job teaching our 561 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: kids how great of a country that this is. We 562 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: are the most generous country ever to exist in the 563 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: history of the world. We give more to the poor, 564 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: more to poverty, we give more to the Third world, 565 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: we give more in humanitarian aid. We finance more Christian 566 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: missionaries and more ministries. Seventy percent of all the Christian 567 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: mission work is originated by five percent of the population 568 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: here in America. When there's a tsunami, when there's a flood, 569 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: when there's a civil war, they don't call the French, 570 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: and they don't call the Belgians. They call the Americans. 571 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: Because there's something different about this country. And it's because 572 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: what we believe is American values in liberty, in e 573 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: pluribus unum go anyone pull out a dollar bill before 574 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: they try to have a centralized bank. 575 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 2: Or digital currency. 576 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: On the American dollar bill is the American Trinity. And 577 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: the American Trinity are three things. Of course, we as 578 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: Christians have the Christian Trinity, God, the Father, the Son, 579 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: and the Holy Spirit. On the US dollar is the 580 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: American Trinity. Liberty in God we trust and e plurabus unum, 581 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: e plurabist unim is one out of many, one that 582 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: together the universal human equality reigns above all that. It 583 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: does not matter if you're black, or you're white, or 584 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: you're Hispanic. In God's economy, you are all human beings 585 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: made in His image. It doesn't matter if you're tall, 586 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: you're small, unborn or born, You're human being regardless of 587 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: all of it. I'm gonna end with this. I could 588 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: go on for like another hour of it. I'm gonna 589 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: end with this, everybody, which is which is one of 590 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: my fa favorite part of the entire declaration is the end, 591 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: because the end shows what type of nation that we are. 592 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: The end shows the profundity, the depth, the weight, and 593 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: the heaviness of everything in front of us. There are 594 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: two types of ways that you could do relationships. 595 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 2: You can have a. 596 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: Contractual relationship, which is perfectly okay. When you hire your doctor, 597 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: when you at a doctor, when you buy a piece 598 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: of property and you buy a land, when you buy 599 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: a car, whatever, that is a contractual relationship. We as 600 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: Christians understand that at times though you have covenantal relationships. 601 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: The best example of a covenantal relationship is between husband 602 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: and wife. That is a covenant. Jesus and the Church 603 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: is a covenantal relationship. Throughout the Bible, there are covenantal relationships, 604 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: the Abrahamic Covenant, the Noaic Covenant, the Dividic Covenant, the 605 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: Mosaic Covenant, the Covenant with Israel, and of course the 606 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: New Covenant with Jesus Christ. When you enter into a 607 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: covenantal relationship, here is what makes a contractual relationship versus 608 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: a covenantal relationship. First of all, a covenantal relationship says 609 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: that this will last as long as we are faithful. 610 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: A contractual relationship is here's the terms, it ends in 611 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: ten days. That's it. You the least of the car. 612 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: A covenantal relationship is built on love and kindness, respect 613 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: and trust. A contractual relationship goes into paragraph six' a 614 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: on the different. Terms nothing wrong with, that but is 615 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: different and the most important. COMPONENT a covenantal relationship involves three. 616 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: Parties where contracts relationship is two. Parties i'm buying, Something 617 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: i'm selling. Something covenantal relationship is person Person. God it 618 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: is a relationship between three. Parties this nation when it was, 619 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: founded unlike every Other canada contractual relations and Ship mexico 620 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: contracts a. Relation i'm not trying to bash on these. 621 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: Countries is just the way it. Is But america was 622 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,239 Speaker 1: a covenantal relationship at the end of the, declaration very 623 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: similar to The book Of, nehemiah as In namiah, nine 624 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: when The jews were in, Exile King cyrus sends them. 625 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: Back they were just a complete, mess, right And niemiah 626 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: restores the covenant And namiah, nine we are now in 627 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: front Of.
