00:23
you
00:27
our first conversation is about politics
00:30
in Republic now maybe you haven't
00:33
noticed this in your place of worship
00:34
he's getting more involved in partisan
00:37
politics in this country
00:38
the court has chipped away at our
00:40
religious liberties whether it was
00:41
silencing the voices of children praying
00:43
in our schools or whether it was casting
00:45
the Ten Commandments out of the public
00:47
square it's an issue of what does the
00:49
Bible say about the issue of life or up
00:51
the issue of marriage we're going to
00:53
stand for that principle we Americans
00:56
are locked in a cultural war a war for
00:59
our culture a war for the soul of
01:01
America I have read scripture correctly
01:04
it means that if America does endorse
01:06
and embrace moral perversion that we may
01:09
expect the judgment of God upon our
01:11
entire society we've gone from gays in
01:13
the closet to gays of the classroom and
01:15
listen it's not going to get any better
01:25
depending on who you ask there between
01:27
50 and 80 million evangelical Christians
01:30
in America ever since they started
01:32
showing their influence at the ballot
01:33
box they've become a formidable force in
01:35
our culture and our democracy but the
01:38
evangelical movement is a big 10 so
01:40
we're gonna hit the road to meet some
01:42
evangelicals to find out what they
01:44
believe and what it means for the future
01:46
of America
02:00
he
02:43

02:46
swinging guys like you doing in church

02:54
killed going home drunk should still get
02:56
high but it's on Jesus it's not on
02:58
something that fades out in the movie
02:59
I've done other things on a Saturday
03:00
night but I'm 27 years old my life has
03:03
been changed and it's been changed by
03:05
being in a place like this god is good
03:07
everybody's searching for what we had
03:08
here than everybody we found in Jesus
03:11
you know for years it's all sex drugs
03:14
rock'n'roll full throttle you know but
03:16
now it's a different kind of full
03:17
throttle full throttle for the war so
03:19
you're all high on Jesus own Jesus and
03:21
ain't coming down and I hope you'll let
03:23
this be an inspiration in your own life
03:25
God has great things in store for you
03:28
there's no obstacle too big there's no
03:31
challenge too difficult anytime you try
03:33
to fulfill your god-given destiny
03:35
there's gonna be opposition there's
03:37
gonna be people telling you that you
03:39
can't do it that's why you've got to
03:41
stand strong and fight the good fight of
03:43
faith you have everything you need to
03:46
fulfill your god-given destiny what is
03:50
going on around here
03:52
I need to pack 16,000 people into the
03:55
stadium where the kisum are consistently
03:57
I believe it's a new day in our society
04:00
I mean faith in America is at an
04:02
all-time high
04:03
I really believe there's a spiritual
04:05
awakening taking place that there's a
04:07
force out here force of people that that
04:10
love God and that go to church and that
04:13
want to see our country stay on the
04:15
right path to spread the love of Christ
04:17
all over the world and just to make the
04:19
world a better place and let them know
04:20
it's you know there are good days ahead
04:38
our special guest today is pastor Ted
04:41
Haggard he is the president of the
04:42
National Association of Evangelicals 30
04:46
million members the largest evangelical
04:48
group in the United States of America my
04:51
business is to try to accurately
04:53
represent what evangelicals all over the
04:56
United States are thinking and feeling
04:57
is is America more spiritually minded
05:00
today than it was 20 years ago oh yes we
05:03
have more Christian senators than ever
05:05
before more Christian Congress people
05:07
than ever before more born-again people
05:09
working in the executive branch of the
05:11
White House than ever before any other
05:12
administration in American history and
05:14
so so the influence of the Scriptures is
05:17
there now we still have a problem with
05:19
Hollywood well okay so I'm here because
05:22
after the last presidential election all
05:24
of the media came you got Tom Brokaw you
05:27
got Debra Walters everybody wanted to
05:28
talk to you so that's why I'm here yeah
05:30
who are these evangelists right who are
05:32
the evangelicals and where everywhere
05:34
because an evangelical is a person that
05:37
believes Jesus is the Son of God the
05:38
Bible is the Word of God and that you
05:40
must be born again so is it weird that
05:42
all the mainstream media from New York
05:44
are all coming out to the red states I
05:47
don't I don't think it's weird that that
05:49
so many are coming from New York or LA
05:51
to try to try to work with it because
05:54
there are loads of evangelicals in New
05:56
York and loads of them in LA it's just
05:58
that they are recognized so much because
06:00
they they don't have the big churches on
06:02
the highway where you come here to
06:04
Dallas or you go to other Midwestern
06:06
cities like Colorado Springs where I am
06:08
and our churches are visible from the
06:10
interstate
06:17
why are these churches so big modern
06:20
mega church like this is like little
06:22
towns in the Midwest or in the Northeast
06:25
or wherever that our parents and
06:27
grandparents lived in two generations
06:29
ago so the way the neighbors in those
06:33
communities knew one another we know
06:36
each other in these megachurches like
06:37
that so you actually know your neighbors
06:39
oh yeah we come here Sunday mornings as
06:42
the hub that's where we all worship
06:44
together we all do all kinds of stuff
06:46
together on Sunday mornings then
06:48
throughout the week there are small
06:50
groups that meet throughout the city
06:52
over a thousand some of them are Bible
06:54
studies some of them are prayer some of
06:56
them are support groups some of them are
06:58
fun groups all different kinds they know
07:01
one another by name if somebody goes to
07:02
the hospital they're there before the
07:04
ambulance is there everybody helps
07:06
everybody else and everybody receives
07:08
help from everybody else at different
07:10
times in different situations it's a
07:12
family
07:16
how did you get all these shaggy hairy
07:19
hipster kids to church hello here they
07:22
come on their own cool kids like to go
07:24
to church if church is cool yeah but
07:27
there's something there's something very
07:29
strange about these people they're all
07:30
very happy we are happy because we're
07:34
because we've settled some core issues
07:36
we've settled the issue of eternal life
07:38
the Bible's clear about it we believe it
07:40
and so we're settled on the life death
07:42
issues were not afraid of death because
07:44
of it we're living in the United States
07:46
of America we have representative
07:48
government and we have freedom of
07:50
religion and freedom of the press now
07:52
why in the world would a person in that
07:54
environment not be happy you know all
07:57
the surveys say that evangelicals have
07:59
the best sex life of any other group oh
08:01
come no way oh yeah let's just find out
08:04
how often do you have sex with your wife
08:05
every day every day
08:07
how about twice a day sometimes okay how
08:09
about you every day every day let's say
08:11
out of a hundred times when you have sex
08:13
what percentage what percentage does she
08:15
climax everyone everyone everyone these
08:20
guys who'd have thought these are a
08:21
bunch of studs look at them look at that
08:23
we got to join this church there's a lot
08:27
of love in this place there's a lot of
08:29
love in this place and you don't think
08:30
these babies just come out of nowhere do
08:32
you there is a natural order to things
08:34
the way God set it up is the best way to
08:37
do it and that's just the flat-out truth
08:42
and this brings us to another subject I
08:46
wanted to cover a little bit and add as
08:48
media relations as you know there's
08:51
different media outlets that have asked
08:53
to come to the church from time to time
08:54
and this week HBO is here and which and
08:58
we're happy to have them last week it
09:00
was
09:01
the week before it was a History Channel
09:04
or something and if a journalist from
09:06
any group asks you what do you think
09:09
about the second coming and you say hold
09:13
it I hear a voice this and this is not
09:20
going to work nor will it work for you
09:22
to say hold it I need to pray in tongues
09:26
a little bit so God can tell me how to
09:28
answer your question don't do any of
09:30
that
09:31
don't be bizarre don't appear overly
09:34
spiritual instead answer the question
09:40
now we're ready repeat after me answer
09:43
the question all right this is a
09:47
training camp for your battalion of
09:49
spiritual warriors it is a training camp
09:52
we have our ideas and we're promoting
09:54
them just like there's a training camp
09:56
for young warriors to promote coke over
09:58
Pepsi and just like there's a training
10:00
camp of young warriors to promote Chevy
10:02
/ Ford and just like any liberal State
10:06
University campus is a training camp of
10:09
ideas to promote liberalism over
10:12
evangelical Christianity
10:17
so how much influence do the
10:18
evangelicals have more people go to
10:20
church in the United States every
10:22
weekend then go to all the professional
10:26
sporting events in a year combined in
10:29
America there's no group that has more
10:33
people on radio stations there's no
10:35
group that owns their own TV networks
10:36
like evangelical Christians do the
10:40
American church is everywhere it is ever
10:53
it is crouching at your door
10:57
sin is waiting to attack us just waiting
11:01
for an opportunity how can we protect
11:03
ourselves from the devil and his demon
11:05
forces what we can't do it ourselves we
11:08
need God so I want to speak to you
11:12
children and young people tonight on why
11:15
you want to please to the Lord Jesus
11:42
okay who are you and what's going on
11:44
here well I'm a president founder of
11:46
Christian Wrestling Federation we've
11:47
been around about five years and what we
11:49
do is we took pro wrestling cleaned it
11:51
up put a gospel message to it so we
11:56
travel all over the country we'll
11:58
wrestle for five matches definitely it's
12:00
geared towards young people this looks
12:03
like it hurts
12:03
broken both my thumb's have shoulder
12:06
problems back problems I have another
12:09
chiropractor all the time just for low
12:11
back injury you know a lot of pain for
12:14
Christ yes it is but you know what it's
12:17
all worth it because when you think
12:18
about what the pain Christ went through
12:20
on the cross for us this pales in
12:22
comparison so I'll take this kind of
12:24
pain any day for what Jesus did for us
12:28
everyone bow your head please Jesus I
12:31
need your forgiveness I believe that you
12:36
died across
12:40
Jesus live inside my heart Holy Spirit
12:43
and baby how many people do you think
12:48
you save per shot on average it comes
12:51
out to about 10% of the people that come
12:53
to the each event right around 10
12:55
percent of those people come to know
12:56
Christ at each event so it's working
12:59
yeah they come for the wrestling but
13:01
they stay to be saying exactly
13:16
I won't talk to you now what the Bible
13:18
says about creation in the beginning God
13:22
created the heavens and the earth have a
13:25
Christian you cannot believe in
13:28
evolution
13:28
wherever evolution is believe wherever
13:33
it is taught there is free chaos
13:38
revolutions and immorality while boys
13:43
and girls put your hand up if you've
13:45
heard of the word evolution oh boy I
13:49
think just about everyone puts their
13:50
hands up hands down put your hand up if
13:52
you've heard that dinosaurs with
13:54
millions of years ago here oh dear hands
13:58
down put your hand up if you've heard
13:59
that people came from ape-like creatures
14:02
or something like that you know I think
14:04
just about everybody in the world has
14:05
heard those things and I want to tell
14:07
you right from the start here I don't
14:09
believe that dinosaurs lived millions of
14:10
years ago and I certainly don't believe
14:13
that you came from ape-like creatures or
14:15
anything like that I mean did your
14:17
grandfather look like that
14:18
I don't think so did your grandmother
14:22
look like that no not at all
14:25
boys and girls I don't believe we came
14:27
from ape-like creatures I don't believe
14:28
in millions years I believe that what
14:30
the Bible says is true that God created
14:33
a perfect world he created everything in
14:35
six days just a few thousand years ago
14:38
we don't believe in evolution evolution
14:40
is the idea some people have to explain
14:43
life without God no I believe what the
14:45
Bible says actually I believe that God
14:47
created everything we're going to talk
14:48
about that most Christians are viewed as
14:51
ignorant because we believe in the Bible
14:53
sometimes Christians feel like they're
14:55
on the defensive because mainstream is
14:58
so opposite and feeling like evolution
15:00
is a broad-minded way to do things but
15:04
when you look at the Bible and you look
15:06
at evidence scientific odors it makes
15:09
sense it's just easy to explain your
15:10
children you know the flood and the the
15:14
fossils that you are found and it just
15:16
makes more sense to me
15:18
boys and girls I believe that the Bible
15:21
is the history book of the universe what
15:24
do I think the Bible is is what
15:28
rival the history book of the universe
15:30
if you believe that man and dinosaurs
15:32
did live together like it says in
15:35
Genesis then house come we can't find
15:37
the word dinosaur in the Bible hey can I
15:41
look in the Bible and find the word jet
15:43
airplane no it's a brand-new work can I
15:46
look in the Bible boys and girls and can
15:48
I find the word computer
15:50
it's a brand-new word and the word
15:53
dinosaur is a brand-new word too so what
15:55
are you teaching the kids well I'm
15:57
teaching the kids about the authority of
15:59
Scripture what does the Bible say about
16:02
dinosaurs a lot of people are surprised
16:04
that the Bible would even mention and
16:06
hang about dinosaurs because we had the
16:08
preconceived idea that dinosaurs died
16:10
out millions of years ago before people
16:12
and and and I'm convinced beyond the
16:14
shadow of a doubt that that's not true
16:16
let's look at the Bible let's look in
16:20
the book of Job turn to chapter 40 in
16:23
verse 15 we're told
16:26
of a muddy creek that Joe
16:31
in the jungle of the region burns
16:33
behemoth maid is
16:44
this day is like a sea
16:50
he's deep in the ways of God
16:58
and I believe y'all say mr. ham wait a
17:01
minute wait a minute what about the
17:02
scientists that say dinosaurs lived
17:04
millions years ago I want to teach you
17:06
something very special this morning and
17:07
I want you to remember this boys and
17:09
girls something you will never forget
17:10
has any human being always been there
17:13
yes or no no has any scientist always
17:16
been there no who's the only one who's
17:19
always been there God who knows
17:21
everything so in a big loud voice who
17:24
should you always trust first God or the
17:27
scientist God and I want you to remember
17:30
that you know what those books and DVDs
17:35
are I think that Christian Patriot
17:36
missiles grant homework
17:38
use them they're powerful powerful
17:42
weapons this spiritual war that we're
17:45
talking about is this or is this not the
17:48
Word of God do you believe in evolution
17:52
no I don't I believe in creation why
17:56
because it says in the Bible that
17:58
everything is great God created
18:01
everything do you believe in evolution
18:03
right now why not okay
18:08
creation what did you learn today just a
18:14
couple of dinosaurs and a few other
18:17
things do you believe in evolution
18:19

18:24
the world who told you that um my
18:29
parents what do you believe tell me what
18:31
you believe I believe that there is a
18:33
divine being that created us all so what
18:36
are you gonna be when you grow up
18:37
um I want to be a biochemist when we
18:39
work at the Institute for Creation
18:41
Science in Arizona as a research
18:42
scientist so you don't believe in
18:45
evolution no absolutely not
18:47
and you're gonna prove it yeah I want to
18:50
win a Nobel Prize
18:51
in creationism yeah what do you think of
18:55
people like me that believe in evolution
18:58
well I'm not sure if you maybe study to
19:02
all the facts exactly right and do you
19:06
think I got a bad education now I'm not
19:08
seeing that at all okay great I'm going
19:12
it personally okay I'm just saying this
19:14
school system is probably pretty biased
19:15
towards evolution as most public school
19:17
systems are at least mine was and they
19:21
tend to just show you one side of story
19:30
this week Evangelic Oh Christians met up
19:33
for washing event called
19:35
war on Christians and the Values Voters
19:37
of 2006 the reason this has happened is
19:40
because of a concentrated effort by
19:42
secular progressive movement to diminish
19:44
any kind of spirituality and public
19:47
marketplace
19:56
crying out loud I mean Jesus when we
19:59
believe Jesus was gone on earth he was
20:01
God for 33 years but he only told people
20:04
about it for 3 don't you think his
20:07
friends must suspected something come on
20:11
people go to the beach to go swimming
20:12
Jesus is walking on the water no wonder
20:17
he never brings at all
20:21
he'd go to picnic and a raw-food that
20:23
always had honey for everybody when God
20:28
needs a laugh he comes to me don't you
20:30
forget that folks if you don't like my
20:32
show you're going to hell I am a
20:34
conservative comedian listen to me a
20:36
conservative comedian one of two known
20:39
to exist in the Western Hemisphere
20:41
number two I am a Christian I believe
20:43
that God is real and I'm proud that that
20:46
is the heritage of my country that's
20:48
number two and number three I believe
20:51
the United States of America is the
20:53
greatest country that has ever existed
20:55
on the face of the earth it's worth
20:57
fighting for it's worth dying for
20:59
because there's never been a country
21:01
like this it's better than Europe that's
21:04
why we let
21:11
I have found my constituency
21:15
what I'm performing I'm a preacher but
21:18
when Chris Rock does it he's a social
21:19
commentator I said everybody preaches
21:21
everybody preaches every time Bruce
21:23
Springsteen writes a song he says vote
21:25
like this get out of the war become a
21:28
Democrat whatever he's preaching that's
21:29
okay everybody stands for something and
21:32
tries to persuade that's the American
21:33
Way try to persuade people to to come to
21:36
your side and if you get enough people
21:38
you win welcome to America that's what
21:41
I'm talking about I believe in these
21:44
ideas I believe in them it because of
21:46
those three ideas because of my politics
21:49
because of my patriotism because of my
21:50
religious belief system those three
21:52
ideas it drives my worldview when I die
21:54
I will be stuffed mounted and sent to
21:57
the Smithsonian Institute indeed why he
21:59
never got his own sitcom display we have
22:02
gay comics that can be gay be on TV
22:04
nobody cares give me fat give me black
22:06
you may Hispanic you can be a woman you
22:09
can be whatever where is the guy that
22:13
happen to be a Christian because
22:14
Hollywood doesn't let people like us all
22:16
nerds he can take these shows you know
22:18
why it's obvious because since only half
22:20
of America Vote conservative and since
22:23
only 90 percent of Americans believe in
22:26
God and since most Americans are
22:29
patriotic they realize there's just no
22:31
market for what I'm doing all I'm asking
22:33
little is to do is be liberal enough to
22:35
let me have my point of view because
22:36
that's what liberal supposed to be
22:38
it's called tolerance liberal people
22:44
remember that word
22:46
there are two groups of people
22:48
apparently you're allowed to make fun of
22:50
in this country nobody cares number one
22:52
southerners number two christians
22:55
christians can be mocked all day long
22:57
even though christians are the people
22:59
that actually happened to start this
23:01
country and founded it we can be mocked
23:03
never see us anywhere never sees on TV
23:06
and if we do show up we're the serial
23:08
killer even I want admit that Christians
23:11
started this country and we have people
23:15
in this country especially judges who've
23:18
decided that they don't care what the
23:20
majority once they will implement their
23:24
ideology and make it illegal to have a
23:29
moral point of view that is judicial
23:36
tyranny but I say there's a whole bunch
23:39
of people like us who aren't going away
23:43
and want our country back and you're
23:47
fine
24:03
so like what's going on here
24:05
well we have a Christian Park lab that's
24:08
meeting here and it's just an
24:10
opportunity to get together and to have
24:12
fun without cars and get a Christian
24:14
message out and that's what we're really
24:16
about so do you think the Holy Spirit is
24:19
here in this Burger King parking lot
24:21
yeah I think the Holy Spirit is in every
24:23
person that believes in Jesus Christ
24:24
well God so loved the world he gave His
24:27
only begotten Son don't you ever believe
24:29
it's in him sigh my pants will have
24:31
everlasting life
24:33
so what Jesus have written a hot rod he
24:36
certainly would not have given afford I
24:38
don't know I think he would have driven
24:39
a Mazda millennia like myself rather
24:41
than a Chrysler new you guys don't have
24:43
deep philosophical religious
24:45
conversations here what's more important
24:48
to you Christ or your car when we leave
24:50
this place we're not gonna take any of
24:52
these cars with us
25:16
the blood of Jesus
25:23
I believe that the family is the
25:27
foundation for everything that's going
25:29
to happen in America good or bad in the
25:32
Garden of Eden God established family
25:35
before anything else
25:36
Adam had wife and the wife had a husband
25:40
there was one man one woman and it was
25:42
for the procreation of the human race
25:45
that's what God established first what
25:48
the gang is all here we all getting good
25:50
order for to get a good picture of us
25:52
all yeah yeah it must be so much fun yes
25:57
for having all these people player just
25:59
make me when I have a dozen children
26:00
down
26:00
what's wrong with American culture today
26:03
is we have left biblical principle 50 60
26:06
years ago the American family was mom
26:08
and dad and there was eight 10 12
26:10
children that was the norm when I met my
26:13
husband I was in my third year of
26:14
college and I told him that you know I
26:17
might live with you I might make some
26:18
commitments but I will not marry you and
26:21
if I did I would never have a family
26:22
because I'm not interested in that I
26:24
didn't play with the older child a
26:26
lawyer did a powerful politician and I'm
26:29
gonna be the first woman president and
26:30
not have ten children just 18 years
26:33
later so when God gets ahold of your
26:35
heart he can change a lot of things
26:39
you look like Ken and Barbie that's you
26:41
then wow this is you know yes before
26:44
this is before and after
26:50
you know when families are right then
26:53
the church is strong then the nation is
26:55
strong I want my children in the first
26:58
formative years of their life to learn
27:00
the Word of God and the principles of
27:02
true Christianity I homeschool my
27:05
children because I want to pour in them
27:08
truth not error yeah
27:11
you have your own school here you have
27:12
that 10 that your hands full yes I love
27:15
it it's the best part if I had
27:16
cooking and cleaning which is school all
27:19
the time and what what a way to
27:22
strengthen your relationship with your
27:23
children it's just it's really it really
27:26
has I just don't know anyone else that
27:31
has a better life than me it's the
27:33
greatest I mean every minute it's
27:35
something that's eternal I get to enjoy
27:37
it with my children's now there are
27:39
times you know that I'm just like what
27:40
have I done I can't I can't handle this
27:42
I can't wash another dish I can't cook
27:44
another meal but if I could change
27:46
anything around here we only be the
27:47
noise level what's funny is that most
27:50
people I know we're thinking home oh
27:52
there's ten kids a nightmare well you
27:55
know if your family is fitting into your
27:57
life like you know your life is your
27:59
work or your club or your hobbies or
28:01
whatever hey your family is is hard to
28:04
deal with but if your family is your
28:06
life your lie and you grew into it you
28:11
know one the Timon and so it's just a
28:13
joy it's it's wonderful it must be weird
28:17
having people like us from New York like
28:19
the hell on earth must be weird yeah
28:21
there's Hills there's those Hillbillies
28:24
just as bad as in New Yorkers well today
28:29
we're going to talk about family
28:31
vacations as you serve your family as
28:33
you take your family on vacation you
28:35
don't want to give them something that
28:37
will not build them up you see you want
28:40
to strengthen them in the Lord you want
28:42
them to come back stronger than they
28:44
were when they lot stronger the faith
28:45
stronger your commitment to God
28:54
oh you little faith
28:59
do not worry by saying what shall we eat
29:01
or what shall we drink what shall we
29:04
wear the pagans run after these things
29:09
God in His righteousness and all these
29:15
things shall be added to you as well
29:18
what does the Holy Land Experience offer
29:21
the Holy Land Experience is a theme the
29:24
biblical adventure where we put flesh on
29:27
ideas people read the Bible and they see
29:31
verses and paragraphs in a book and we
29:34
bring the characters to life have you
29:37
noticed the rise in religious tourism in
29:40
America well I think there's a hunger a
29:43
hunger for God there's that there's a
29:45
spiritual hunger all the way around and
29:47
I think people are looking for the real
29:49
deal and they just sometimes they travel
29:52
around to see what God's doing in
29:53
different places just out of interest
29:56
this places reliefs shows love of God
29:58
and it it brings the Bible to life for
30:01
us really honor your father and mother
30:03
so do you think that your kids are
30:05
getting more entertained okay educate I
30:07
live in it both really
30:15
that's Jesus whom did you system Jesus
30:18
isn't looking so good today that's today
30:21
so merchants how's business
30:44
so explain to me the concept of this
30:47
biblical mini-golf
30:48
you know every miniature golf course
30:50
just about has a theme there's first
30:51
jungle thing Tyr's haunted themes
30:53
there's dinosaur themes and so we
30:56
thought why not share what's most
30:57
important ducks and that's the Bible
30:59
thing in a subtle and fun way we share
31:03
that with other people so this is it
31:05
this is the parting of the Red Sea nice
31:10
that's Moses parting the Red Sea let's
31:12
see Wow Moses is looking good that's not
31:16
quite sesame the meal but you know get
31:19
the desert and of course then as far as
31:21
we're concerned the most important story
31:22
is over here and that's the empty tomb
31:24
you can see the stone arch where the
31:27
stones rolled away and Christ was able
31:28
to come out so most important hole right
31:31
there that's what it's all about
31:56

33:48
he
33:49
we went cold
33:56
true
34:02
so the Lord told you to put process all
34:04
around the South he burned a desire in
34:06
my heart so what's your goal five
34:10
grosses never stayed
34:11
why keep exciting people like you hope
34:19
so you're spending a lot of your own
34:20
money just to get these crosses all
34:22
around the south well I'll help but the
34:25
one that gives me strength and bizarre
34:27
to do this has been my Lord and Savior
34:31
Jesus Christ that's what it is this is
34:34
the weirdest part about my road trip is
34:36
that everywhere I go
34:37
strangers take me into their car and
34:39
preach to me well that's good I know is
34:44
to win souls for Jesus that's it tell
34:47
people about Jesus to be a witness for
34:51
him
34:54
you see there's something we've never
34:55
seen in New York this is something we'd
34:57
never see in New York City
34:58
you know the Bible passages I played
35:00
that oh I agree and that's beautiful
35:04
good evening I would like to remind you

Bible study trekker fellowship meeting
35:16
in the chapel beside the restaurant
35:18
everyone is welcome thank you there's
35:22
something never see anywhere so do you
35:26
think that there's a holy war going on
35:28
in America oh absolutely
35:30
the devil has the same desire to use his
35:34
people to try to destroy what God came
35:37
here to do see it's a war between the
35:41
good and evil some of you are saturating
35:45
yourself every day of your lives with
35:47
the pagan American culture a hundred and
35:51
fifty million Americans sit in front of
35:54
the television and receive the same
35:56
godless messages we've gone from Ozzie
36:01
and Harriet
36:01
to Ozzy Osbourne my three sons do willen
36:07
grace from lifelong marriages to
36:10
same-sex marriage from True Grit
36:13
to Brokeback Mountain over the past 40
36:17
years we have witnessed a complete
36:18
societal shift while we have been weaned
36:22
elections we've been losing ground we're
36:25
living in an era where there seems to be
36:27
no foundational morality
36:29
man when it comes to being apathetic
36:31
about allowing this nation to continue
36:34
to slide toward hell that's not apathy
36:37
that's and
36:39
come to the place that we are not going
36:43
to quit that we make it clear to the
36:45
enemy that we're here and we're here
36:47
till Jesus comes we die or we win your
36:55
daddy has always told you politics and
36:59
religion don't mix that ballot it is a
37:03
mirror of your real values we say we
37:06
need to vote biblically if Christians
37:09
became a driving force in any election
37:12
every candidate would have to listen to
37:14
what we say it ought to be a moral
37:16
outrage for Christians not to vote the
37:20
very first Supreme Court Justice John
37:22
Jay said Americans should select and
37:26
prefer Christians as their rulers and I
37:29
pray Lord on Tuesday as we go to the
37:31
polls to vote that we as Christians will
37:35
vote our Christian convictions and we
37:38
should vote for men or for women who
37:41
know what's right and who believe what
37:42
is right if someone is pro-choice don't
37:46
vote for them
37:47
no polygamy no big amino group marriage
37:50
no same-sex marriage one man married to
37:53
one woman
37:55
we need to understand we need to
37:58
understand that and people who don't
38:00
shouldn't be in public office in our to
38:03
luggage we have voters guys and I have
38:06
sent them out to hundreds of churches in
38:08
Virginia for all Bible believing
38:10
Christians to see and to read what we're
38:13
doing here is educating and informing
38:15
voters through our churches here in the
38:19
Commonwealth of Virginia we've mailed
38:20
out hundreds of packets to churches
38:22
we're encouraging Christians to pick
38:24
these up read on deploy to go to the
38:26
polls and to the and vote their values
38:29
Christian values tonight God in politics
38:34
there is a growing debate in this
38:36
country about how far religious
38:38
institutions and organizations can go
38:40
and pushing political causes several
38:43
churches around the country are now
38:44
under fire by the Internal Revenue
38:46
Service in some cases they may have gone
38:48
too far in urging their worshippers and
38:51
members to embrace their political
38:53
viewpoints now I find it remarkable that
38:55
went out al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson
38:58
parade for 30 or 40 years through
39:01
African American churches all over
39:02
America
39:02
I mean endorsing candidates outright
39:04
taking up offerings on Sunday mornings
39:06
nobody gets excited no one said they
39:08
were breaking the violation of
39:10
separation of church and state but when
39:12
we do it all of a sudden it's a problem
39:13
why is because I believe many in the
39:16
press are not really understanding their
39:18
own bigotry I find it remarkable that if
39:21
you believe in abortion on demand and if
39:24
you believe in homosexual rights you're
39:26
called a moderate if you believe in life
39:28
and marriage as defined in the Bible
39:30
you're called an extreme religious right
39:33
I think it's not only dishonest it's
39:35
hyperbole it's fear-mongering
39:43
this university cannot endorse or oppose
39:47
candidates I can the three Republican
39:56
candidates are pro-life pro-family and
40:00
we need we need to put on a 72-hour
40:04
blitz of calling everybody in central
40:07
Virginia knocking on every door in
40:10
central Virginia putting literature
40:12
there and I want you to please be a part
40:15
of making a difference you think you're
40:24
influencing voters out here oh yeah oh
40:26
definitely tell me what kind of
40:29
effective Hazzard Reverend Falwell gets
40:31
up in front of the University and tells
40:33
his young champions for Christ to go out
40:34
and campaign for a candidate he does
40:37
have so much influence I mean people
40:39
listen to what he says so it's not so
40:41
much about this candidate it's about any
40:43
candidate who supports your Christian
40:44
values right yeah but tell me about the
40:49
work that the young champions for Christ
40:50
are doing to mobilize voters in the next
40:52
election we are training young men and
40:55
young ladies for public service at the
40:58
national and the state and local levels
41:01
and we're training them in in
41:05
judeo-christian philosophy we have a law
41:07
school we we start law school last year
41:10
we we are training young attorneys to do
41:14
combat with the ACLU and other anti
41:17
judeo-christian attorneys and legal
41:19
leaders in the country how have you
41:22
managed to parlay your religious power
41:25
into political power every year in every
41:28
one of our churches we register the
41:30
people to vote all we want to do is
41:32
bring eighty million evangelical
41:34
Americans into informed activism we
41:38
don't tell them boom to vote all we say
41:40
is vote for the man or the woman who is
41:43
closest to your spiritual and religious
41:47
views and values it happens that the
41:50
Republican Party has taken a real strong
41:52
stand on pro-life pro-family issue
41:54
the Democratic part is gone to hell in a
41:56
handbasket whenever Angelica's vote
42:00
their Christian values what happened in
42:02
November 2004 will happen over time
42:17
this morning we want to look at the
42:19
sanctity of life we are created in the
42:23
image of God therefore every single
42:25
human being has phallic God is the one
42:29
who has the privilege of giving life and
42:31
of taking life if you have a Planned
42:35
Parenthood office in your town get
42:39
people out on the sidewalks in front of
42:42
that office
42:47
why do you try to do this they will say
42:50
you're trying to impose your beliefs on
42:53
art on the entire community and you say
42:57
no I'm trying to tell you the rules set
43:02
down by the author of life he created us
43:05
he tells us how to live we better follow
43:09
and so you go to your community and you
43:12
say abortion is wrong because God says
43:16
it's wrong premarital sex is wrong
43:20
because God says it's wrong so why do
43:28
you have such a problem with Planned
43:29
Parenthood Planned Parenthood is the
43:31
nation's largest abortion Asit killed
43:34
two hundred and fifty-five thousand
43:36
babies last year Planned Parenthood is
43:38
also trying to sexualize our young
43:40
people it wants our young children
43:42
involved in sex because Planned
43:45
Parenthood makes millions and millions
43:47
of dollars from young people involved in
43:49
sex and they don't make a penny from
43:51
those children or live a life of
43:53
chastity so you tell me what you're
43:56
doing to influence the next generation
43:57
we have a rock for life outreach which
44:00
is a ministry that goes around and we
44:02
try to motivate the young people with an
44:04
operation but let me tell you it doesn't
44:06
take much the motivator
44:09
sending our tax dollars because they do
44:13
that they take em okay take a look at it
44:16
it's like yourself instead of it being
44:18
like now like the punk rockers fighting
44:21
for like individuality it's like the pro
44:24
lifers fighting for life just really
44:27
something we believe in Lord God we cry
44:30
out to you we cry to you we ask to give
44:33
you our nation there will be a day when
44:36
abortion will end in our way our
44:38
American Holocaust and when that happens
44:43
your children and your children's
44:47
children they're going to look at you
44:48
and their eyes are going to fill with
44:49
tears and they're going to say mom dad
44:52
grandma grandpa I'm so proud of you
44:55
because while all your friends were out
44:58
there doing their thing you were doing
45:01
the right thing it's in your hands and I
45:06
believe we are about to turn the tide
45:07
and restore America once again for God
45:10
Almighty
45:13
welcome to the United States Senate
45:22
the purpose of our gathering here today
45:25
is to pray for an end to every attack on
45:30
innocent human life in the form of
45:32
abortion euthanasia suicide and anti
45:37
life scientific research life begins at
45:41
conception and if we don't protect it
45:44
then we will not have the guts to
45:47
protect it at its end when we're old
45:50
when Terri Schiavo in a hospice room in
45:54
Florida was being dehydrated to death
45:58
there were police officers standing over
46:01
that bed to make sure that none of us
46:03
dared to give her a drop of water Terri
46:07
Schiavo would have never been murdered
46:09
if roe v wade had not arrived you take
46:14
away protection from any one segment of
46:16
the human family and you are threatened
46:18
the protection of every segment of the
46:29
thank everybody there more your devotion
46:33
to such a noble cost you please hide it
46:36
every human life has value that the
46:39
strong have a duty to protect the weak
46:42
who wasn't persuade more more fellow
46:44
Americans in the writings of our cause a
46:48
changing laws we can change or alter
46:53
tonight we invite you to join with
46:56
people of faith across America as we
46:59
learn how judicial decisions impact you
47:01
and your family well here we are meeting
47:05
in a local church and we're being down
47:07
linked into thousands of local churches
47:10
across America explain to me how it
47:13
works you have a meeting you decide this
47:15
is what we want to do and then people
47:16
call the capitals well sometimes and
47:18
when we do it the lines all jam up at
47:21
the Capitol we can crash the Capitol
47:22
switchboard system so that's evidence of
47:25
real power that is evidence of power I
47:27
want to challenge every one of you
47:29
watching by television you have two
47:31
senators if you don't know their names
47:34
you're to repent first and then call
47:37
call the US Capitol and talk with
47:40
whomever you can talk with and and and
47:43
urge them to vote for the confirmation
47:46
of Judge Alito to the US Supreme Court
47:49
and let's make one more step towards
47:52
bringing America back to one nation
47:56
under God god bless you
48:20
there is no mistaking what God has to
48:24
say about same-sex marriage homosexual
48:28
activist groups are making this almost
48:29
unbelievable demand that two men getting
48:32
married or two women getting married be
48:33
given the same legal and social status
48:35
as an institution was ordained by God
48:38
and which has proven its benefit to
48:40
society we don't have to debate about
48:42
what we should think about homosexual
48:45
activity it's written and the Bible
48:48
should you realize that in places where
48:51
I'm from like in San Francisco in New
48:52
York they think evangelicals are all
48:53
haters because you make it seem like
48:55
your truth is the only truth and you're
48:57
really intolerant people who don't
48:59
believe what you believe
48:59
well here's something that's very
49:01
important for everybody to understand if
49:03
you believe anything then some people
49:07
feel bad about that like if I believe
49:09
Crest toothpaste is the best toothpaste
49:11
then the Pepsodent users and the
49:13
Listerine toothpaste users and the
49:16
different ones feel bad about that
49:17
because I'm saying Crest is best well we
49:21
say that about moral issues we say
49:23
marriage is a heterosexual relationship
49:25
between a man and a woman we say moral
49:28
purity is better than immorality we say
49:30
telling the truth is better than telling
49:32
a lie and every time we say anything and
49:36
we've got 1500 pages of those things we
49:39
say the Bible when you say anything like
49:42
that there's a group of people that are
49:44
gonna get nervous about that so we we do
49:47
have a public relations problem we
49:49
always have they killed Jesus if you'll
49:51
recall and the church has always had
49:53
this problem because we are the ones
49:55
with the role to say there is a moral
49:58
plumb line and we need to rise up to it
50:00
and that's also why secular people are
50:03
so concerned when the church doesn't
50:04
fulfill its own moral stand I give a
50:07
pastor falls into corruption or becomes
50:10
dishonest or greedy it's heartbreaking
50:12
because even secular people want godly
50:15
people to be authentically godly
50:34
gay people love God and are in every
50:38
Church and have been from the beginning
50:41
of recorded history we are a part of
50:43
their church and now they're demonizing
50:45
us as the enemy to the church this is
50:47
one of Jerry Falwell's letters to the
50:50
nation gays have a godless humanistic
50:53
scheme for our nation a plan which will
50:55
destroy America's traditional moral
50:56
family values they have a plan to
50:59
completely eliminate God and
51:00
Christianity from American society it's
51:03
it's unbelievably um contentious and
51:07
totally untrue and this goes out to tens
51:10
of millions from fall and Roberts and
51:12
adopts and then the rest of them you
51:13
like to get this they're declaring war
51:16
against gay people I mean this is a
51:18
civil war against us now why do you come
51:24
here why do you come here to Jerry
51:26
Falwell shirts we know you're not
51:28
welcome I think it's really a privilege
51:33
to be sitting in a place and listening
51:37
to a people who are plotting my
51:39
overthrow to be able to sit there and
51:42
listen and know it's so much better and
51:45
putting my head in the sand and hoping
51:48
it goes away I know these people these
51:51
people are not in it for the money these
51:53
people are not in it for the power these
51:54
people are sincere and being around
51:57
these people who are sincere they're so
51:59
sincerely wrong that it breaks my heart
52:28
evangelicals are the largest minority
52:30
bloc in this country it's not a majority
52:32
but I don't think you can win without
52:35
them and I think if they're unified
52:37
you'll lose if they go against you John
52:40
Kerry learned that Al Gore learned that
52:43
and Hillary will learn in 2008 the
52:46
church is the only hope for the recovery
52:48
of this country and and this is a
52:50
do-or-die thing with us we're not
52:52
playing games with it we absolutely are
52:55
planning to take this nation back for
52:57
god
53:15
it's time for somebody to speak up it's
53:19
time for somebody to send a message are
53:21
you ready to send a message
53:27
hurt you
53:34
we've got thousands of kids here this
53:36
arena packed in here we need this every
53:38
weekend all over the country somewhere
53:40
trying to help them get a hold of God
53:41
while they're young time for us to focus
53:43
on kids and reach out and go after them
53:46
just like MTV's going after them unite
53:48
New York wrench you master in church to
53:51
form battle plans and grow your ranks
53:53
let my space
53:56
Thanks my battle plan
54:04
I pray that your Holy Spirit with the
54:07
set of this place and fire and power
54:11
well up in a new generation and they
54:14
were attacked a generation back with
54:18
your power your life today would you
54:22
just
54:56
this
55:18
when I think of the rodeo I think it's
55:20
something wild and crazy
55:22
I don't think of Christ
55:31
you can't go on a road trip without
55:32
seeking Angelica pelvis oh no gotta have
55:36
a baby dude what does that represent
55:39
represents the King of Kings skateboard
55:41
ministry and we skateboard for Jesus
55:43
Christ that's what we do
56:14
whole face moves with you Wow
56:30
