PUT AWAY THE IDEA THAT, AH, THE
REPUBLICANS OR THE DEMOCRATS OR THE INDEPENDENTS OR THE
LIBERTARIANS CAN SAVE US. WE DARE NOT IDENTIFY OUR FAITH WITH
ANY POLITICAL PARTY. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TELL TO ALL PARTIES,
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS AND INDEPENDENTS, REPENT AND GET
RIGHT WITH GOD. ADRIAN ROGERS WAS A FIRM BELIEVER IN
CHALLENGING CHRISTIANS TO REALIZE OUR BLESSINGS AND TO
UPHOLD OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY. ONE OF
THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES IS TO HUMBLE OURSELVES AND PRAY AND
YOU'LL HEAR THAT TIMELESS TRUTH IN THIS MESSAGE. WE'RE
CONCLUDING OUR EMPHASIS ON 40 DAYS OF PRAYER WITH THIS SPECIAL
MESSAGE FROM ADRIAN ROGERS. WE HOPE YOU'LL HAVE YOUR BIBLE OPEN
AND STAY WITH US. AND AS ALWAYS, YOU CAN LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE
AGAIN AND DOWNLOAD OTHER RESOURCES AVAILABLE WITH THIS
MESSAGE AT LWF.ORG. WHILE YOU'RE THERE, PLEASE DOWNLOAD OUR FREE
PRAYER GUIDE FOR AMERICA THAT WILL HELP YOU KNOW HOW TO PRAY
FOR OUR NATION. NOW, LET'S JOIN ADRIAN ROGERS. BE FINDING PSALM 85, AND WHEN
YOU'VE FOUND IT, LOOK UP HERE. AND MAY I TELL YOU WITHOUT
STUTTER OR STAMMER, I STILL BELIEVE THAT AMERICA IS THE
GREATEST NATION ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH AND I MAKE NO APOLOGY,
NONE WHATSOEVER, FOR BEING A PATRIOT AND A FLAG-WAVING
AMERICAN. [AUDIENCE: AMEN] [AUDIENCE APPLAUSE] I'M NOT
ASHAMED TO STAND AT ATTENTION WHEN OLE GLORY PASSES BY.
[AUDIENCE: AMEN] I STILL GET A LUMP IN MY THROAT WHEN WE PLEDGE
ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG. I'M NOT EMBARRASSED BY TEARS WHEN I HEAR
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER. AMERICA'S A GREAT NATION. NOW
WHY IS AMERICA SUCH A GREAT NATION? BECAUSE OF HER NATURAL
RESOURCES? OTHER NATIONS, OTHER LANDS HAVE GREAT, NATURAL
RESOURCES. IS IT BECAUSE OF YANKEE INGENUITY? ARE AMERICANS
BRIGHTER, MORE INTELLECTUAL, MORE BRAINPOWER THAN OTHER
PEOPLE? NO. THE IQ SPANS THE GLOBE. IT'S ABOUT THE SAME IN
EVERY NATION. WHY IS AMERICA THE GREAT NATION THAT SHE IS?
BECAUSE GOD HAS BLESSED AMERICA. [AUDIENCE: AMEN] GOD HAS BLESSED
AMERICA. I BELIEVE, SINCERELY BELIEVE, THAT THE AMERICAN DREAM
WAS PLACED IN THE BOSOM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS BY ALMIGHTY
GOD. NO NATION EVER HAD SUCH A CHRISTIAN BEGINNING AS AMERICA
HAS HAD. THE ORIGINAL COLONIES WERE FOUNDED BECAUSE OF THE
CHRISTIAN FAITH. THE PILGRIMS CAME TO OUR SHORES IN 1620
SEEKING RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. THESE PILGRIMS HUDDLED BENEATH THE
DECK OF THAT LITTLE MAYFLOWER SHIP THAT SAILED HERE WITH THOSE
PILGRIMS. THEY GOT BENEATH THE DECK AND PRAYED, AND THEY WROTE
TOGETHER A COVENANT CALLED THE, THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT. DO YOU
KNOW HOW IT BEGAN, THE FIRST WORDS? IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN.
THAT'S THE WAY THEY STARTED, IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN. AND THEN
THEY SAID THEIR STATED PURPOSE WAS, FOR THE GLORY OF GOD AND
THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. THAT'S WHY THEY SAID THEY
WERE COMING, FOR THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE
CHRISTIAN FAITH. ROGER BABSON WAS A GREAT ECONOMIST IN
YESTERYEAR IN AMERICA. HE WAS TALKING WITH A SOUTH AMERICAN
PRESIDENT, AND THEY WERE COMPARING THE PRODUCTIVITY, THE
WEALTH, THE AMENITIES, THE FELICITIES OF AMERICA AS
COMPARED TO SOUTH AMERICA. AND THEY WERE WONDERING WHY THE
DIFFERENCE, BECAUSE SOUTH AMERICA HAS SO MUCH IN NATURAL
RESOURCES, SUCH BEAUTY, SUCH SPLENDOR; GOLD AND SILVER AND
MINERALS AND, AH, LUSH FORESTS. AND THIS SOUTH AMERICAN
PRESIDENT SAID TO ROGER BABSON, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR TWO
BODIES OF EARTH AND LAND IS THIS: THOSE WHO CAME TO OUR
SHORES CAME SEEKING GOLD; THOSE WHO CAME TO YOUR SHORES CAME
SEEKING GOD. [AUDIENCE: AMEN] THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. OUR
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS ROOTED IN FAITH IN ALMIGHTY GOD. THE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE FROM GREAT BRITAIN WAS ALSO, AT THE
SAME TIME, WITH THE SAME BREATH, A DECLARATION OF DEPENDENCE UPON
ALMIGHTY GOD. WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT. WE
DON'T ARGUE ABOUT THIS. WE DON'T DEBATE THIS. WE DON'T QUIBBLE
ABOUT THIS. WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT, THAT ALL MEN
ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR, WHAT'S THE NEXT WORD? [AUDIENCE: CREATOR]
CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS. DID OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
BELIEVE IN GOD? ABSOLUTELY. DID THEY BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION OR
CREATION? THEY BELIEVED IN CREATION. THEY SAID, THAT'S
SELF-EVIDENT. OF COURSE, IT IS. THE BIBLE SAYS, THE FOOL HAS
SAID IN HIS HEART, THERE IS NO GOD. AND SO, WITH THE SAME
BREATH THAT THEY DECLARED INDEPENDENCE FROM GREAT BRITAIN
THEY DECLARED DEPENDENCE UPON ALMIGHTY GOD. FIFTY OF THE
FIFTY-FIVE MEN WHO FRAMED THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES WERE PROFESSING CHRISTIANS. THIRTY OF THEM WERE
WHAT WE WOULD CALL TODAY BOLD CHRISTIANS, AND TWENTY OF THEM
WERE BELIEVING CHRISTIANS. IN 1778, JAMES MADISON, THE FRAMER,
THE ARCHITECT OF THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, THE FOURTH
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, SAID THIS. LISTEN, WE HAVE
STAKED THE WHOLE FUTURE OF AMERICA'S, AMERICAN CIVILIZATION
NOT UPON THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT, HA, FAR FROM IT, WE
HAVE STAKED THE FUTURE UPON THE CAPACITY OF EACH AND ALL OF US
TO GOVERN OURSELVES, TO SUSTAIN OURSELVES ACCORDING TO THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. AND NOW WE CAN'T EVEN POST THOSE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ON THE CLASSROOM WALLS. ON APRIL THE THIRTIETH,
1789, GEORGE WASHINGTON SAID AT HIS FIRST INAUGURAL ADDRESS, MY
FFF, FERVENT SUPPLICATIONS TO THAT ALMIGHTY BEING WHO RULES
OVER THE UNIVERSE, WHO PRESIDES IN THE COUNCIL OF NATIONS, AND
WHOSE PROVIDENTIAL AIDS CAN SUPPLY EVERY HUMAN DEFECT, THAT
HIS BENEDICTION MAY CONSECRATE TO THE LIBERTIES AND
HAPPINESSES, OR HAPPINESS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, A
GOVERNMENT INSTITUTED BY THEMSELVES FOR THESE ESSENTIAL
PURPOSES. AND THEN, UH, HE WENT ON TO SAY, WASHINGTON WENT ON TO
SAY, WE OUGHT TO BE NO LESS PERSUADED THAT THE PROPITIOUS
SMILES OF HEAVEN CAN NEVER BE EXPECTED ON A NATION THAT
DISREGARDS THE ETERNAL RULES OF ORDER AND RIGHT, WHICH HEAVEN
ITSELF HAS ORDAINED. THAT'S THE FATHER OF OUR COUNTRY. HE KNEW
THAT WE MUST DEPEND UPON GOD. THIS WAS THE GEORGE WASHINGTON,
THAT DEVOUT MAN, WHO WENT TO KNEEL IN THE SNOW AT VALLEY
FORGE AND ASK GOD'S BLESSING UPON HIS LITTLE RAG-TAG ARMY
THAT WON THE LIBERTIES THAT YOU AND I ENJOY, AH, THIS DAY. WHEN
THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS WAS MEETING, A STRANGER CAME AND
WANTED TO SEE WHICH ONE WAS GEORGE WASHINGTON. A MAN WHO
KNEW GEORGE WASHINGTON SAID, HE'LL BE EASY TO PICK OUT. HE'LL
BE THE TALL REDHEAD WHO KNEELS WHEN THE CONGRESS STOPS TO PRAY.
IN DECEMBER 1820, DANIEL WEBSTER SAID, LET US NOT FORGET THE
RELIGIOUS CHARACTER OF OUR ORIGIN. OUR FATHERS BROUGHT
HITHER THEIR HIGH VENERATION FOR THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. THEY
JOURNEYED IN ITS LIGHT, LABORED IN ITS HOPE. THEY SOUGHT TO
INCORPORATE AND INFUSE ITS INFLUENCE THROUGH ALL THEIR
INSTITUTIONS, LISTEN, ALL THEIR INSTITUTIONS, CIVIL, POLITICAL,
AND LITERARY. THAT'S WHAT DANIEL WEBSTER SAID IN 1820. ON JULY
THE FOURTH, 1821, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS SAID, THE HIGHEST GLORY OF
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WAS THIS, NOW, LISTEN, THE HIGHEST
GLORY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WAS THIS, HERE IT IS, LISTEN, IT
CONNECTED IN ONE INDISSOLUBLE BOND THE PRINCIPLES OF CIVIL
GOVERNMENT WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIANITY. OUR FOUNDING
FATHERS BELIEVED IN THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE,
BUT NOT FOR ONE FLEETING MOMENT DID THEY BELIEVE IN THE
SEPARATION OF GOD AND GOVERNMENT. AND THEN, QUINCY
ADAMS WENT ON TO SAY, FROM THE DAY OF THE DECLARATION, THEY,
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THAT IS, WERE BOUND BY THE LAWS OF GOD,
WHICH THEY ALL, AND BY THE LAWS OF THE GOSPEL, WHICH THEY NEARLY
ALL, ACKNOWLEDGE AS THE RULES OF THEIR CONDUCT. LET ME TELL YOU
WHAT, AH, PRESIDENT ANDREW JACKSON SAID ON JUNE THE EIGHTH,
1845, THE BIBLE IS THE ROCK UPON WHICH OUR REPUBLIC RESTS. IN
FEBRUARY, 1861, OLE ABE LINCOLN GAVE HIS FAREWELL ADDRESS IN
SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, AND HERE'S WHAT HE SAID, UNLESS THE
GREAT GOD WHO ASSISTED WASHINGTON SHALL BE WITH ME AND
AID ME, I MUST FAIL. BUT IF THE SAME OMNISCIENT MIND AND MIGHTY
ARM THAT DIRECTED AND PROTECTED HIM SHALL GUIDE AND SUPPORT ME,
I SHALL NOT FAIL. LET US ALL PRAY THAT THE GOD OF OUR FATHERS
MAY NOT FORSAKE US NOW. THAT'S ABRAHAM LINCOLN. WELL, WHAT DID
HE BELIEVE ABOUT THE BIBLE? HUH, HA, HA. IN REGARDS TO THIS GREAT
BOOK, THE BIBLE, I HAVE BUT THIS TO SAY, IT IS THE BEST GIFT GOD
HAS GIVEN TO MAN. ALL THE GOOD THE SAVIOR GAVE TO THE WORLD WAS
COMMUNICATED THROUGH THIS BOOK. BUT FOR IT, WE WOULD NOT KNOW
RIGHT FROM WRONG. LET ME JUST PAUSE HERE TO SAY, POLITICIANS
PRATE ABOUT VALUES. IF YOU WANT TO PUT HIM IN THE CORNER AND
JUST SAY, WHOSE VALUES? AND HE, HE BEGINS TO SPUTTER. LISTEN TO
WHAT LINCOLN SAID ABOUT THE BIBLE, BUT FOR IT, WE WOULD NOT
KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG. ALL THINGS MOST DESIRABLE FOR MAN'S
WELFARE HERE AND HEREAFTER ARE TO BE FOUND PORTRAYED IN IT,
TALKING ABOUT THE BIBLE. IT'S NO WONDER, THEREFORE, IN, IN MARCH,
1931; THE U.S. CONGRESS ADOPTED, THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER AS OUR
NATIONAL ANTHEM. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE FOURTH STANZA SAYS,
PRAISE THE POWER THAT HATH MADE AND PRESERVED US A NATION! THEN
CONQUER WE MUST, WHEN OUR CAUSE IT IS JUST; AND THIS BE OUR
MOTTO, IN GOD IS OUR TRUST!' NO WONDER THAT IN 1952 SUPREME
COURT JUSTICE WILLIAM O DOUGLAS SAID, WE ARE A RELIGIOUS PEOPLE,
AND OUR INSTITUTIONS PRESUPPOSE A SUPREME BEING. THAT IS, IT'S
JUST, IT'S, IT'S IN THE WOODWORK OF OUR NATION. IN JUNE, 1954,
CONGRESS ADOPTED THIS PHRASE, UNDER GOD, TO BE ADDED TO THE
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, ONE NATION, INDIVISIBLE, WITH
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. BUT, ONE NATION, UNDER GOD,
INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. IN JULY, 1956,
BY JOINT RESOLUTION CONGRESS ADOPTED A BILL PROVIDING THAT
THE NATIONAL MOTTO IN THE U.S., UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS
THIS, IN GOD WE TRUST. NOW, FOLKS, I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU
ABOUT A FAIRYTALE WHEN I TELL YOU THAT NO NATION EVER HAD SUCH
A CHRISTIAN BEGINNING AS AMERICA. BUT I MUST SADLY
CONFESS TO YOU ON THIS MORNING THAT OUR NATIONAL HERITAGE LIES
IN DECAY, OUR CHRISTIAN VALUES ARE IN RETREAT, WE NEED GOD IN
AMERICA AGAIN. [AUDIENCE: AMEN] WE NEED A NATIONAL [AUDIENCE
APPLAUSE] REVIVAL. [AUDIENCE APPLAUSE] SEXUAL
PROMISCUOUSNESS, THE OPEN PARADING OF PERVERSION, THE
DISPOSAL OF UNWANTED, UNBORN CHILDREN, THE BREAKUP OF THE
FAMILY, THE OBSESSION WITH SELF AND MATERIALISM, ALL OF THESE
SPEAK OF A SOCIETY ON ITS LAST LEGS. AND IF AMERICA'S NOT BORN
AGAIN, SHE WILL JOIN THE GRAVEYARD OF THE NATIONS. EVERY
DAY IN AMERICA, THOUSANDS OF PRE-BORN BABIES ARE PUT TO
DEATH, SACRIFICED AS A BLOOD SACRIFICE FOR THE GOD OF LUST,
THE DEMON GOD OF LUST. MOST OF THESE ABORTIONS ARE ABORTIONS OF
CONVENIENCE, A FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL. WE HAVE IN AMERICA SORT
OF A MORAL SCHIZOPHRENIA WHERE A PERSON CAN BE FINED $5,000 AND
PUT IN JAIL FOR A YEAR FOR CRUSHING THE EGG OF A BALD
EAGLE, AND A DOCTOR CAN MAKE A HANDSOME LIVING BY KILLING
BABIES IN THE MOTHER'S WOMB. FRIEND, WE LIVE IN A SICK
SOCIETY. [AUDIENCE: AMEN] AMERICA NEEDS A MIRACLE. BECAUSE
IF WE DON'T HAVE A MIRACLE, LISTEN, WE ARE ON A COLLISION
COURSE WITH JUDGMENT AS SURELY AS THERE'S A GOD IN HEAVEN. NOW
YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLE OPEN TO PSALM 85. I WANT YOU TO LISTEN
TO THE PRAYER OF A PATRIOT IN HIS DAY. PSALM 85 BEGINNING IN
VERSE FOUR, TURN US, O GOD OF OUR SALVATION, AND CAUSE THINE
ANGER TOWARD US TO CEASE. WILT THOU BE ANGRY WITH US FOREVER?
WILT THOU DRAW OUT THINE ANGER TO ALL GENERATIONS? WILT THOU
NOT REVIVE US AGAIN, THAT THY PEOPLE MAY REJOICE IN THEE? IT
IS A PRAYER FOR REVIVAL. THREE THINGS I LAY ON YOUR HEART THIS
MORNING FROM THAT TEXT. FIRST OF ALL; THE SOURCE OF REVIVAL. LOOK
IN VERSE SIX, WILT THOU NOT REVIVE US AGAIN? HE'S SPEAKING
TO GOD. NOW SOME OF US MAY LIVE IN DESPAIR. SOME OF US MAY LET
OUR HANDS HANG DOWN AND OUR HEAD BEND OVER AND WE SAY, IT'S TOO
LATE. FRIEND, DISABUSE YOURSELF OF THE IDEA THAT IT'S TOO LATE
FOR AMERICA BECAUSE THERE'S A GOD IN HEAVEN. [AUDIENCE: AMEN]
THERE'S A GOD IN HEAVEN. DON'T SAY THAT REVIVAL IS IMPOSSIBLE.
HIS POWER, HIS GRACE ARE SUFFICIENT. GOD IS NOT OLD. GOD
IS NOT TIRED. GOD IS NOT PALSIED. GOD IS NOT WORN OUT.
GOD IS NOT IMPOTENT. HE IS OMNIPOTENT. YOU SAY, BUT,
PASTOR, SIN IS PANDEMIC. YES, BUT THE REVIVAL, THE BIBLE SAYS
IN ROMANS CHAPTER FIVE VERSE 20, AH, WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE
DID MUCH MORE ABOUND. DON'T YOU LOVE THAT? WHERE SIN ABOUNDED,
GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND. THE SIN OF MANKIND IS NO EXCUSE FOR
NOT HAVING REVIVAL. IT'S AN INSULT TO GOD TO SAY THAT WE
CANNOT HAVE REVIVAL IN THIS TIME. THERE'S A GOD IN HEAVEN,
AND GOD IS OUR HOPE. BUT MAY I SAY CONVERSELY, GOD IS OUR
BIGGEST THREAT. AL QAEDA'S NOT OUR BIGGEST THREAT. GOD IS OUR
BIGGEST THREAT. I'M NOT AFRAID OF WHAT TERRORISTS WILL DO TO US
NEARLY AS MUCH AS I AM AFRAID OF WHAT GOD HIMSELF WILL DO TO US
IF WE DO NOT REPENT. THESE SCRIPTURES TALK ABOUT THE ANGER
OF GOD. OUR SIN, OUR NATIONAL SIN, ANGERS GOD, AND SO WE NEED
TO REPENT. WE DON'T LOOK TO SOME POLITICAL PARTY TO SAVE US. PUT
AWAY THE IDEA THAT, AH, THE REPUBLICANS OR THE DEMOCRATS OR
THE INDEPENDENTS OR THE LIBERTARIANS CAN SAVE US. HMM.
WE NOT, WE DARE NOT IDENTIFY OUR FAITH WITH ANY POLITICAL PARTY.
WE NEED TO FIND A CANDIDATE, GET BEHIND HIM, AND VOTE FOR HIM IF
HE WILL STAND UP FOR GOD AND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. WE NEED TO GET IN
TO SOME POLITICAL SYSTEM AND WORK FOR IT. THAT'S FINE. BUT
DON'T IDENTIFY GOD WITH IT. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TELL TO ALL
PARTIES, DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS AND INDEPENDENTS,
REPENT AND GET RIGHT WITH GOD. [AUDIENCE: AMEN] AH, GOD IS GOD.
GOVERNMENT CAN'T SAVE US. ALL THAT GOVERNMENT CAN DO IS
PROTECT US FROM EVIL. THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT. NOT TO
MAKE US GOOD. GOVERNMENT CAN'T MAKE US GOOD. PEOPLE SAY, YOU
CAN'T LEGISLATE MORALITY. THEY'RE RIGHT. YOU CANNOT.
THERE'S NOT A LAW ON EARTH THAT CAN MAKE YOU HONEST AND LOVING
AND KIND AND COMPASSIONATE. THERE'S NO LAW THAT CAN MAKE YOU
LOVE ME, SO I HAVE TO HAVE A LAW TO KEEP YOU FROM KILLING ME.
LAWS ARE NOT HERE TO LEGISLATE MORALITY; THEY ARE HERE TO
LEGISLATE AGAINST IMMORALITY. ONLY GOD CAN MAKE US GOOD. OUR,
OUR GOVERNMENT IS A GOVERNMENT, AS WE'VE SAID, BASED IN THE
CONCEPT THAT THERE IS A GOD. AND IF YOU TAKE GOD OUT OF THE
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT, FRIEND, WE'RE IN A MESS, BECAUSE YOU
HAVE WICKED PEOPLE WHO WILL ELECT WICKED PEOPLE, WHO WILL
MAKE WICKED LAWS APART FROM GOD. THE SOURCE OF REVIVAL; ALMIGHTY
GOD. LOOK UP HERE, CONGREGATION, DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD? SAY, YES.
[AUDIENCE: YES] IS HE ABLE? YES. IS HE WILLING? YES. IS HE
MIGHTY? YES. CAN HE SEND REVIVAL? YES, YES, YES. GET YOUR
EYES OFF THE PROBLEM; GET YOUR EYES ON GOD. THAT'S THE SOURCE
OF REVIVAL. NOW, LET'S THINK OF; THE SUBJECTS OF REVIVAL. LOOK AT
OUR TEXT AGAIN, WILT THOU NOT REVIVE US AGAIN, THAT THY
PEOPLE, THY PEOPLE MAY REJOICE IN THEE? IT'S NOT THE UNSAVED
THAT NEED REVIVAL. THEY'VE NEVER HAD VIVAL. REVIVAL IS TO BRING
BACK TO RE, AH, INVIGORATE THAT WHICH WAS ONCE THERE. IT IS THE
PEOPLE OF GOD THAT GOD IS TALKING TO. THE ANSWER TO
AMERICA IS NOT IN THE SCHOOLHOUSE, NOT IN THE STATE
HOUSE, BUT IN THE CHURCH HOUSE. I'M AS CONVINCED OF THIS AS I'M,
THE FACT THAT I'M STANDING HERE, THAT THE ONLY HOPE FOR AMERICA
LIES IN HER CHURCHES, IN HER PEOPLE. NOW THERE'S THE TEXT
THAT WE'VE ALMOST WORN OUT. IN THE FEAR OF PERHAPS SEEMING
REDUNDANT OR TRITE, I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU AGAIN SECOND
CHRONICLES SEVEN AND VERSE 14. I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO IT. YOU
OUGHT TO KNOW IT BY HEART. GOD HAS SAID, IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH
ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND
SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN WILL I
HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN, AND WILL HEAL
THEIR LAND. THAT'S SECOND CHRONICLES SEVEN AND VERSE 14.
I'M GOING TO PULL OVER HERE FOR A MOMENT AND PARK. I WANT US TO
LOOK AT THAT TEXT AGAIN, THAT WONDERFUL TEXT THAT GOD GAVE TO
HIS ANCIENT PEOPLE ISRAEL. SOMEONE SAYS, WELL, THAT DOESN'T
APPLY TO AMERICA. THAT APPLIES TO ISRAEL. FRIEND, THERE ARE
UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES IN THAT TEXT THAT APPLY TO ANY NATION
ANYWHERE. FIRST OF ALL, NOTICE THE PEOPLE THAT GOD HAS. GOD
SAYS, IF MY PEOPLE. YOU SEE, GOD DOESN'T SAY, IF ONLY HOLLYWOOD
WOULD, IF ONLY THE NARCOTICS PEOPLE WOULD, IF ONLY THE
SUPREME COURT WOULD, IF ONLY CONGRESS WOULD, IF ONLY
WASHINGTON WOULD. NO. GOD SAYS, IF MY PEOPLE. HE'S TALKING TO
US! THE FUTURE OF AMERICA IS IN OUR HANDS. YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE
THAT, BUT I BELIEVE IT. GOD IS TALKING TO YOU, SIR; YOU, YOUNG
LADY; YOU, MISTER; YOU, LADY. GOD IS TALKING HERE TO ADRIAN.
HE'S TALKING TO ALL OF US. THE PEOPLE GOD HAS. NOW HERE'S THE
SECOND THING. LISTEN TO IT. NOT ONLY THE PEOPLE THAT GOD HAS,
BUT THE PRIDE THAT GOD HATES. GOD SAYS, IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH
ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL, DO WHAT? HUMBLE THEMSELVES. NOW
YOU'RE FOOLISH IF YOU PRAY, GOD, MAKE ME HUMBLE. HUH. YOU WON'T
LIKE THE WAY HE DOES IT. GO AHEAD AND HUMBLE YOURSELF. PRIDE
STALKS THROUGH AMERICA. WE TALK ABOUT OUR VAUNTED AMERICAN
INGENUITY. MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA ARE EGOMANIACS STRUTTING
TO HELL, THINKING THEY'RE TOO GOOD TO BE DAMNED. WE'RE TRYING
TO SAVE FACE WHEN WE NEED TO BE ON OUR FACE BEFORE ALMIGHTY GOD.
[AUDIENCE: AMEN] WE NEED TO HUMBLE OURSELVES. THERE NEEDS TO
BE BROKENNESS. YOU SEE, THE BIBLE SAYS, GOD RESISTS THE
PROUD; HE GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. NOT ONLY WILL GOD NOT
HELP US, BUT GOD WILL OPPOSE US IF WE'RE ARROGANT. YOU NEED TO
GUIDE AGAINST, GUARD AGAINST PRIDE IN YOUR OWN PERSONAL LIFE.
AH, NOTHING PUTS A MAN SO FAR OUT OF THE REACH OF GOD, AH, OUT
OF THE REACH OF SATAN AS GENUINE HUMILITY. GOD WANTS THIS NATION
TO HUMBLE OURSELVES. AND IF WE WILL NOT, THERE'RE OTHER WAYS
THAT GOD HAS TO HUMBLE US, BUT WE WON'T LIKE IT. NOW, LISTEN.
THE PRIDE THAT GOD HATES. NOW THE PEOPLE GOD HAS, THE PRIDE
THAT GOD HATES. NOW THE PRAYER THAT GOD HEARS, IF MY PEOPLE,
WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND
PRAY, WHAT KIND OF PRAYER? AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM
THEIR WICKED WAYS. THE PRAYER THAT GOD HEARS IS THE PRAYER
THAT SEEKS THE FACE OF GOD. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FACE OF GOD
IS? THAT'S REVIVAL. OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN THE BIBLE WE'RE,
WE'RE TOLD, MAKE THY COUNTENANCE TO SHINE UPON US. THE FACE OF
GOD, THE SMILE OF GOD, THE COUNTENANCE OF GOD IS REVIVAL,
WHERE GOD DOESN'T TURN AWAY HIS FACE, BUT GOD SMILES UPON US.
NOW WE'RE TOLD TO SEEK GOD'S FACE. WHAT BA, WHAT ARE MOST OF
US SEEKING? WE'RE SEEKING GOD'S HAND. WE'RE SAYING, GOD, DO
SOMETHING. NO, NO, DON'T SEEK GOD'S HAND; SEEK GOD'S FACE,
SEEK GOD'S FACE. BECAUSE IF YOU SEEK GOD'S HAND AND ASK GOD TO
DO SOMETHING, YOU WILL NOT LIKE WHAT HE DOES IF THERE'S
UN-CONFESSED, UN-REPENTED OF SIN IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE GOD'S HAND
WILL JUDGE US. GOD'S FACE WILL SAVE US. WE'RE TO SEEK HIS FACE
AND TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS. DO YOU THINK GOD'S GOING TO HEAR
THE PRAYER OF AN UN-REPENTANT PEOPLE? THE BIBLE SAYS, IF I
REGARD INIQUITY IN MY HEART, THE LORD WILL NOT HEAR ME. NOW IF
YOU WANT GOD'S FACE, YOU'VE GOT TO TURN FROM YOUR SIN. WHY? IT'S
OBVIOUS. THOU ART OF PURER EYES THAN TO LOOK UPON INIQUITY. DO
YOU THINK GOD CAN SMILE UPON SIN? DO YOU THINK GOD CAN
COUNTENANCE AND FELLOWSHIP WITH SIN? NO. IT'S OBVIOUS. IF WE
WANT GOD'S FACE, IF WE WANT GOD'S SMILE, IF WE WANT GOD'S
BENEFICENCE, WE MUST TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS. YOU SAY, WELL,
I HOPE AMERICA DOES. NO, FRIEND, I HOPE YOU DO. AMERICA IS BUT
THE SUM TOTAL OF ITS POPULATION. THERE CAN NEVER BE NATIONAL
REPENTANCE WITHOUT INDIVIDUAL REPENTANCE, ONE BY ONE BY ONE BY
ONE, AS WE PRAY. THE PEOPLE GOD HAS. THE PRIDE THAT GOD HATES.
THE PRAYER THAT GOD HEARS. AND THE PROMISE THAT GOD HONORS,
THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN, AND
WILL HEAL THEIR LAND. PRAYER IS NOT SOME SORT OF A SMOKESCREEN
THAT WE CAN HIDE OUR SIN IN. BUT WHEN WE DEAL WITH OUR SIN, THEN
GOD IS FULLY ABLE, WELL AND ABLE TO SEND REVIVAL TO THIS NATION.
FRIEND, GOD HAS SENT REVIVAL IN DARK DAYS BEFORE, AND GOD CAN DO
IT AGAIN. WHEN WE ARE HUMBLE AND WHEN WE ARE HOLY, WE WILL BE
HEARD. NOW I'VE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THE SOURCE OF REVIVAL,
WILT THOU NOT REVIVE US AGAIN. I'VE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THE
SUBJECTS OF REVIVAL, WILT THOU NOT REVIVE US AGAIN, THAT THY
PEOPLE MAY REJOICE IN THEE? NOW LET ME TALK TO YOU FOR A FEW
MOMENTS BEFORE WE GO ABOUT THE SIGN OF REVIVAL. WHAT IS TRUE
REVIVAL? IT IS REJOICING IN GOD. NOT REJOICING IN THINGS, NOT
REJOICING IN PRIVILEGES, NOT VAUNTING OURSELVES IN PRIDE, BUT
REJOICING IN GOD. YOU SEE, REVIVAL COMES IN THREE STAGES.
FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S A TIME OF WEEPING, AND WE HAVE PLENTY TO
WEEP ABOUT, BEGINNING WITH THE COLDNESS OF OUR OWN HEART, THE
INEPTITUDE OF OUR CHURCHES, AH, THE WEAKNESS OF OUR PRAYERS, THE
LOSTNESS OF OUR NEIGHBORS AND CHILDREN. REVIVAL BEGINS WITH A
TIME OF WEEPING. AND THEN, IT, IT, IT CONTINUES WITH A TIME OF
REAPING. WHEN YOU HAVE GENUINE REVIVAL, SOULS COME TO JESUS IN
MULTIPLIED NUMBERS, THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF
SOULS WILL COME TO JESUS CHRIST, GOLD AND GRAIN TO BE LAID AT HIS
FEET IF WE HAVE [TAP] GENUINE [TAP] REVIVAL. DON'T YOU WANT TO
SEE AN END-TIME HARVEST? DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE MILLIONS SWEPT
INTO THE KINGDOM? REVIVAL IS A TIME OF WEEPING. IT IS A TIME OF
REAPING. AND THEN, IT IS A TIME OF REJOICING, THAT THY PEOPLE
MIGHT REJOICE IN THEE. I LONG TO SEE IN THIS CONGREGATION, IN MY
OWN HEART, IN YOUR HEART, OUR HEARTS A BURNING, BLAZING, EMAS,
EH, EH, EH, EMOTIONAL, PASSIONATE LOVE FOR THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST, WHERE WE REJOICE IN GOD. THERE'S NO GREATER JOY,
NO HIGHER JOY. THAT'S THE SIGN OF REVIVAL. NOW, FOLKS, THINK
WITH ME. ARE WE GOING TO JUST WATCH OUR FREEDOMS AND OUR
LIBERTIES RECEDE OVER THE HORIZON? OR ARE WE, AS CHURCHES
AND INDIVIDUALS, GOING TO PRAY FOR GOD TO SEND REVIVAL? YOU
SAY, PASTOR ROGERS, THAT'S, THAT'S RHETORIC THAT'S
PREACHING, BUT IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WELL,
IF YOU FEEL THAT WAY, YOU MAY BE RIGHT. BUT YOU SEE, THERE'S A
GOD IN THE GLORY. THERE'S HOPE AS LONG AS THERE'S GOD. YOU
THINK OF THE REVIVALS IN HISTORY. THINK OF THE TIME WHEN
AHAB AND JEZEBEL WERE ON THE THRONE OF ISRAEL, AND ELIJAH WAS
THE PROPHET OF GOD. HE CHALLENGED THE PRIESTS OF BAAL,
WHO WERE VERY MUCH LIKE OUR BABY BUTCHERS TODAY, AND HE SAID,
WE'RE GOING TO BUILD AN ALTAR. WE'RE GOING TO PUT A SACRIFICE
UPON IT. AND THE GOD THAT ANSWERS BY FIRE, LET HIM BE GOD.
THEN HE SAID, BRING FOUR BARRELS OF WATER AND POUR IT ON THE
SACRIFICE, FOUR MORE BARRELS, FOUR MORE BARRELS; TWELVE
BARRELS OF WATER. THE BIBLE, THE BIBLE SAYS, THE WATER COVERED
THE SLAIN BULLOCK, WENT DOWN OVER THE WOOD, OVER THE STONES,
AND FILLED UP A TRENCH THAT WAS AROUND THE ALTAR. AND THEN
ELIJAH PRAYED, AND HE SAID, O, LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND
JACOB. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THOU ART GOD THIS DAY. O, GOD, TURN
THE HEARTS OF THIS PEOPLE BACK TO YOU. AND THEN THE BIBLE SAYS,
AND THE FIRE OF THE LORD FELL AND CONSUMED THE SACRIFICE AND
THE WOOD AND THE STONES, AND LICKED UP THE WATER THAT WAS IN
THE TRENCH. WHY DID ELIJAH SAY, POUR THE WATER ON? THE GOD THAT
ANSWERS BY FIRE, LET HIM BE GOD? YOU DON'T START A FIRE WITH
WATER. WHAT WAS HE DOING? HE WAS SAYING THAT, THE GOD THAT CAN'T
BURN WET WOOD IS NO GOOD. EVERYTHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
JUST RIGHT FOR REVIVAL, ALL RIGHT. I MEAN, DON'T INSULT GOD
BY SAYING, THE WOOD'S TOO WET, WE, IT CAN'T BURN TODAY. [CLAP]
GOD IS [CLAP] GOD IS [CLAP] GOD IS [CLAP] GOD. WE NEED TO
BELIEVE THAT. [AUDIENCE: AMEN] THAT THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW THAT
THOU ART GOD. AND GOD SENT REVIVAL IN THOSE DAYS AT MOUNT
CARMEL. YOU THINK OF REVIVAL IN JERUSALEM, PENTECOST, HOW
UNLIKELY THAT WAS. THIS WAS A PLACE WHERE THEY'D STONED THE
PROPHETS. NEVER WAS THERE A CITY THAT HATED JESUS CHRIST MORE
BECAUSE THERE THEY CLAMORED FOR HIS DEATH AND NAILED HIM TO THE
CROSS. THERE WAS SCANDAL IN THE CHURCH. ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES HAD
BETRAYED HIM. ANOTHER'D CURSED AND DENIED HIM. THE REST WERE
PANIC-STRICKEN. AND YET, THE DAY OF PENTECOST CAME AND THOUSANDS
AND THOUSANDS WERE SWEPT INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF GOD
SENT REVIVAL TO JERUSALEM, GOD CAN SEND REVIVAL TO MEMPHIS,
TENNESSEE. [AUDIENCE: AMEN] I BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL OF MY
HEART. YOU THINK OF THE DARK AGES, WHERE THE CHILDREN IN OUR
SUNDAY SCHOOL KNOW MORE OF THE BIBLE THAN THE PRIESTS AND THE
LEADERS OF THAT DAY. GOD RAISED UP LUTHER. GOD RAISED UP CALVIN.
GOD RAISED UP OTHER MIGHTY LEADERS, AND WHAT WE CALL THE
PROTESTANT REFORMATION WAS REALLY A MIGHTY REVIVAL WHERE
THOUSANDS CAME TO FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. REVIVAL CAME
TO WALES IN 1904. THE WRITER WHO DESCRIBED IT SAID, IT CAME LIKE
AN UNEXPECTED TORNADO. I DON'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO DESCRIBE THAT
REVIVAL. YOU NEED TO GET THE BOOKS AND READ ABOUT REVIVAL. I
HAVE VISITED KOREA. I HAVE VISITED ROMANIA. I HAVE VISITED
CENTRAL AMERICA. GOD IS MOVING AND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS ARE
COMING TO FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST IN CENTRAL AMERICA. GOD IS
MOVING IN AFRICA, AND THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS
CHRIST IS GROWING EXPONENTIALLY. ARE WE GOING TO LET OTHER PEOPLE
BE BLESSED AND US MISS THE BLESSING? NO! NO! WE CAN HAVE
REVIVAL. WELL, YOU SAY, I DON'T KNOW. IT MAY BE TOO LATE FOR
AMERICA. WELL THEN, IF WE CAN'T HAVE REVIVAL IN AMERICA, LET'S
HAVE REVIVAL IN TENNESSEE. AND IF WE CAN'T HAVE REVIVAL IN
TENNESSEE, LET'S HAVE REVIVAL IN MEMPHIS. AND IF WE CAN'T HAVE
REVIVAL IN MEMPHIS, LET'S HAVE REVIVAL IN BELLEVUE. [AUDIENCE:
AMEN] AND IF WE CAN'T HAVE REVIVAL IN BELLEVUE, LET'S HAVE
REVIVAL IN YOUR SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS. AND IF WE CAN'T HAVE
REVIVAL IN YOUR SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS, LET'S HAVE REVIVAL IN
YOUR FAMILY. AND IF WE CAN'T HAVE REVIVAL IN YOUR FAMILY,
LET'S HAVE REVIVAL IN YOU. [AUDIENCE: AMEN] I'M ONLY ONE,
BUT I AM ONE. I CAN'T DO EVERYTHING, BUT I CAN DO
SOMETHING. AND WHAT I CAN DO AND OUGHT TO DO, THAT, BY THE GRACE
OF GOD, I WILL DO. WHY DON'T YOU SAY THAT? WHY DON'T YOU STOP
LOOKING AROUND AND SAYING, O, GOD, GET MY HEART RIGHT. GOD
BLESS AMERICA AND LET IT BEGIN IN ME. BOW YOUR HEADS IN PRAYER
PLEASE. WOULD YOU PRAY FOR THIS NATION? WOULD YOU PRAY THAT GOD
WILL DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO AWAKEN US, TO STIR US, THAT WE
MIGHT SEE [THUMP] THE PRAYER OF THIS PATRIOT SO LONG AGO
REPRODUCED IN US TODAY. WILT THOU NOT REVIVE US AGAIN. O
LORD, WILT THOU NOT REVIVE US AGAIN, THAT THY PEOPLE MAY
REJOICE IN THEE? LORD, SEND A REVIVAL AND LET IT BEGIN IN ME.
SAY THAT SINCERELY. SAY THAT SINCERELY. WOULD YOU SAY, GOD,
MAKE ME PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM. NOW HOW
MANY IN THIS BUILDING TODAY COULD SAY, BROTHER ROGERS, I
KNOW THAT I KNOW IF I DIED TODAY, OR IF JESUS WERE TO COME
TODAY, I WOULD GO TO HEAVEN BECAUSE I'VE REPENTED OF MY SIN,
I'VE RECEIVED JESUS CHRIST AS MY PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR. HE'S
SO REAL TO ME THAT I'VE CONFESSED HIM OPENLY AND
OUTWARDLY. I HAVE FOLLOWED HIM IN BELIEVERS' BAPTISM. I'M NOW
LIVING FOR HIM AND WITH HIM IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF A NEW
TESTAMENT CHURCH, AND I'M HAPPY IN JESUS, TODAY. IF YOU CAN GIVE
ME THAT TESTIMONY, WOULD YOU LIFT YOUR HAND? ALL RIGHT. NOW
TAKE THEM DOWN. SOME COULD NOT LIFT YOUR HAND BECAUSE YOU'VE
NEVER REALLY TRUSTED CHRIST. OTHERS, PERHAPS, SAY THAT YOU'VE
TRUSTED CHRIST, BUT YOU'VE NEVER MADE IT PUBLIC AND BEEN
BAPTIZED. OTHERS, PERHAPS, WERE ONCE BAPTIZED, BUT YOU'RE NOT
LIVING NOW FOR JESUS IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF A NEW TESTAMENT
CHURCH. OTHERS OF YOU MAY BE MEMBERS OF A CHURCH, BUT YOU'RE
NOT REALLY HAPPY IN JESUS. YOU'RE COLD AND INDIFFERENT AND
YOU KNOW THAT YOU NEED GOD TO DO SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART AND IN
YOUR LIFE. I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU TODAY. AND IF YOU COULDN'T
LIFT YOUR HAND A MOMENT AGO, OR IF YOU HAD A TWINGE OF
CONSCIENCE WHEN YOU LIFTED IT AND YOU KNEW YOU SHOULDN'T, LET
GOD SPEAK TO YOU. FATHER GOD, I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD HELP MANY
TODAY TO SAY, YES EVERLASTINGLY TO JESUS CHRIST. AND, FRIEND, IF
YOU'RE NOT CERTAIN THAT YOU'RE SAVED TODAY, MAY I LEAD YOU IN A
LITTLE PRAYER THAT YOU CAN GET IT SETTLED WITH. PRAY THIS WAY,
DEAR GOD, I'M A SINNER. MY SIN DESERVES JUDGMENT, BUT I NEED
AND WANT MERCY. I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE ME. I KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO
SAVE ME. JESUS, YOU DIED TO SAVE ME AND PROMISED TO SAVE ME IF I
WOULD TRUST YOU. I DO TRUST YOU. I OPEN MY HEART. I RECEIVE YOU
TODAY AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. FORGIVE MY SIN. CLEANSE ME WITH
YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SHED BLOOD AT CALVARY.
THANK YOU THAT YOU DIED IN MY PLACE. CLEANSE ME. SAVE ME, LORD
JESUS. SAVE ME. SAVE ME NOW. I DON'T LOOK FOR A FEELING. I
DON'T ASK FOR A SIGN. I, I JUST WANT THE ASSURANCE THAT YOU WILL
DO IT, AND I KNOW YOU WILL BECAUSE YOU PROMISED. SAVE ME,
LORD JESUS. THANK YOU FOR DOING IT. THANK YOU, JESUS. NOW, LORD
JESUS, BEGIN NOW TO MAKE ME THE PERSON YOU WANT ME TO BE AND
HELP ME NEVER TO BE ASHAMED OF YOU. IN YOUR NAME I PRAY. AMEN. FRIEND, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER
MOMENT OF YOUR TIME? IF YOU PRAYED AND ASKED JESUS CHRIST
INTO YOUR HEART, WOULD YOU WRITE TO US? LET US REJOICE WITH YOU
AND WE'LL SEND YOU SOME LITERATURE TO HELP YOU TO GET
STARTED IN YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU GO
ON FOR JESUS CHRIST. WE HOPE THAT TODAY'S MESSAGE HAS

NEXT TIME. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS WRONG IN AMERICA? WE'RE NOT
SEEKING THE FACE OF GOD, WE'RE SEEKING THE HAND OF GOD. REVIVAL
IS WHEN GOD HAS NOT TURNED HIS BACK ON US. WHEN GOD CAN SMILE
UPON US. WHEN GOD CAN FIND FAVOR IN US. AND THEY SAY, OH GOD! DO
SOMETHING! BELOVED, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT GOD IS DOING SOMETHING.
GOD IS JUDGING THIS NATION. AND WE NEED TO SEEK, NOT THE HAND OF
GOD, BUT THE FACE OF GOD. THE POLITICAL, CULTURAL AND
SPIRITUAL CLIMATE IS INTENSIFYING. WE NEED SOLID,
BIBLICAL ANSWERS TO OUR DIFFICULT QUESTIONS. THAT'S WHY
WE'RE HONORED TO SHARE A NEW BOOK, THE BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF
AMERICA. IT CONTAINS FOUR POPULAR MESSAGES FROM ADRIAN
ROGERS, AND YOU CAN USE THIS BOOK AS YOUR RESOURCE FOR
BIBLICAL RESPONSES IN THE CRUCIAL DAYS AHEAD. THE BOOKS
AVAILABLE FOR A GIFT OF ANY AMOUNT. CALL US, AT

CHANGE THIS NATION. THERE'RE

00:41:52,120 --> 00:00:00,000
ENOUGH CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA, IF
THEY WILL WAKE UP AND DO RIGHT!
