Our next guest speaker is going to be Pastor Steven Anderson. You know the
Reverend Billy Graham tells of a time early in this ministry when he arrived
in a small town to preach a sermon. Wanting to mail a letter he asked a young
boy where the post office was. When the boy had told him, Dr. Graham thanked him
and said, if you'll come to the Baptist Church this evening you can hear me
telling everyone, hear me tell everyone where heaven is. The boy replied, I don't
think I'll be there. You don't even know where the post office is. Isn't that about
right? I imagine Pastor Anderson not only knows the way to the post office, he
knows the way to heaven. Pastor Steven L. Anderson started Faithful Word Baptist
Church in Phoenix, Arizona on December 25th, 2005. He holds no college degree
but has well over 100 chapters of the Bible committed to memory, including
approximately half of the New Testament. Today most Baptist churches are started
by Bible colleges. However, Pastor Anderson feels that the Bible makes it
clear that the church is the pillar and the ground of the truth, not a school. So
Faithful Word Baptist Church is a totally independent Baptist Church based
on the old-fashioned principles of knocking on doors and winning souls for
Christ. These principles have led to thousands being saved while many others
are learning how to pursue those objectives. In the last few years Pastor
Anderson has faced persecution for standing up for the constitutional
rights of Americans as well as for preaching unpopular portions of the
scripture without apology. Pastor Anderson and his wife have been married
for ten years and have five children. Please join me in welcoming Pastor
Steven Anderson.
Hi, well hello. Thank you for having me here. I'm Pastor Steve Anderson, Faithful
Word Baptist Church. I want to start out by playing a video of some actual
footage from an encounter I had a little less than a year and a half ago when I
was tasered and beaten by the police and thrown in jail for refusing to let them
search my trunk. Now as he cues up the video I'll just begin to tell the story
a little bit. In addition to pastoring the church at that time I also ran a
fire alarm business that operated in several states so I was doing a lot of
traveling and I was coming home from a business trip late at night and I was
stopped at a random suspicionless border patrol checkpoint. Of course it was 75
miles from the border on a highway that goes east to west and basically they
wanted me to answer a lot of questions. They wanted to search my vehicle, search
the trunk and I basically asserted my right not to answer questions and not to
be searched without a warrant. Not because I had anything to hide. There
was nothing in the trunk to hide. I'm a Baptist pastor. I was just on a business
trip and basically there was a standoff there and after about an hour and 15
minutes the police came, put me under arrest, shattered out my windows, tasered
me for 20 seconds straight and graded my face in broken glass. Go ahead and play
the video whenever you're ready just so you can get a feel. Let me ask this, are
you placing me under arrest? You are under arrest. And what, what crime, what
crime am I being charged with? These guys were telling me that a canine
alerted to your vehicle for the present and I've asked repeatedly for that dog
to be brought back out because I say that it didn't happen and they are
refusing to get the dog back out because they know that they're not
telling the truth because I wouldn't answer their questions. They came up
with that. I'm going to take you out of the car. Well, let me ask this. What
are, when you place someone under arrest, don't you have to put them under
arrest for something specific. I'm a police officer. I'm ordering you out of
the car. Will you answer my question? Police officer, what are you placing me
under arrest for? Prepare to obey me right now. So I have to obey you by law,
even when you're stopping me without cause.
Hey, close your eyes.
Close your eyes.
All right,
right now.
Yeah.
I can't do anything from there.
Get low right now. You'll be fine.
Ready? Yeah.
Okay.
Ah,
ah,
oh,
so you can go ahead and cut the sound out on the video, but maybe just leave
it rolling. You want to just cut out the sound on the video and basically you
can see him swinging the baton in my window five times, shattering open the
glass. And then what's going on right there? They basically took my head. I'm
already paralyzed by 50,000 volts from the taser. My eyes were closed. I was
covering my face. I wasn't fighting back at all. You could see from the video
and they basically took my head and just shoved it in the broken glass on the
door and just held it there and pressed it in and then finally took me out,
rolled me on the ground, stepped on me, uh, brutalized me and then basically
handcuffed me and took me off to the trailer. There's still got me on the
ground at that point. But you can go and switch to the photographic slides now
if you could just want to show a few pictures that were taken there at the
scene. So done with the video.
But that right there shows where they shoved my face in the broken glass on
the door. Go ahead and go to the next picture and you can see the shape of my
head. Just that round part where they shoved my face down the glass. Go and
show the next one.
This is me in the border patrol trailer after they'd already cleaned me up and
bandaged me up. And then the next slide.
That's just a close up of after they'd already bandaged me up and clean me up.
And then I believe there might be one more. That's me a couple days later
after my head had all been stitched up and everything like that. And that's it
for the pictures and video. But basically I stood up for my rights as
an american, my fourth and fifth amendment rights. They were important
enough to me to knowingly have my windows bashed in. I didn't necessarily
know how bad they were going to beat me up or what they were going to do to me.
The video cuts out only one third of the way into me being tasered just
because the camera was setting upon the dash. I wasn't holding it. I had my
eyes closed, my face in my hands and when they impacted the windows, the
camera flew off the dash and just kind of shut in mid air. It's amazing that
it even captured as much as it did.
Well, about, you know, of course I spent the night in jail, charged with
failure to obey and charged with the same charge that Michael Mark cabbage
was charged with obstructing the highway. Of course I was asking to
leave and they were keeping me there and holding me against my will.
But about six months after that I was attacked again for my preaching
because I preached a very strong sermon against Obama and I called him out for
being a murderer and I called him out for, you know, being a wicked leader
and I used a lot of Bible and preach the sermon against Barack Obama because
he was coming to phoenix and basically I was visited by the Secret Service,
the FBI, I was, I was persecuted, I was put in CNN about two weeks straight
every single day and uh, all kinds of bad things that I got death threats. I
had people protesting outside my church for about five or six weeks straight. I
had all kinds of filthy, disgusting things mailed to me such as gay
pornography, human waste, just disgusting, horrible things that I'm
not even gonna mention. And so basically I've been persecuted and
attacked for standing up for constitutional rights of Americans and
also for preaching the word of God without apology and applying it to the
situations that we're living in today because many preachers want to preach
the Bible in a generalized kind of way, but they don't want to bring it down
home to the time that we're living in. Now I want to basically preach to you
today. I don't want to just tell that story. If you want to get more of that
story, you can go on youtube and watch the videos and get all the background
behind these two stories of the Obama preaching and also the border patrol
incident. But I want to preach to you today from the Bible about freedom and
about liberty and about why I've made the stands that I've made. Now the first
thing I want to establish today is that our rights and our freedoms do not come
from the government or the Constitution. They come from God. Okay? And they're
found in the Bible. You see what I believe about freedom and liberty didn't
come from this book. This is the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution. What I believe did not come from this book but it came from this
book, the Holy Bible. You see the first thing that God ever told man after he
created man in the Garden of Eden was to be free. The first thing in Genesis
chapter 2 verse 16 he said and the Lord God commanded the man saying of every
tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat. Right away he gave him freedom. He
gave him the choice of what he wanted to do. In second Corinthians 3 17 the
Bible says now the Lord is that spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is
there is liberty. The Bible is all about freedom. Our rights and freedoms come
from God. I'll just read to you one thing out of the Bill of Rights. This is
my favorite amendment and I think some people forget about this one but to me
this is the most important one the Ninth Amendment of the Constitution. The Ninth
Amendment says this the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall
not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. You see
those who wrote this document knew that these are not our only rights. We have
other natural rights that came from God. They're just listing a few of our rights
here but our rights didn't come from them they came from God. For example when
it comes to salvation God gives us freedom. We all have the freedom to
decide whether or not we're going to be saved whether or not to believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ. God doesn't force anyone to be saved. He doesn't force
anyone to believe on Jesus Christ. He said whosoever will may come. The Bible
says in Galatians 2 4 and that because of false brethren unawares brought in
who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Jesus Christ
that they might bring us into bondage. Galatians 5 1 stand fast therefore in
the liberty where with Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with
the yoke of bondage. You see being saved is liberty because I don't have to serve
God I want to serve God. You see I'm going to heaven for one reason because I
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. It's not by works of righteousness which we
have done but according to his mercy he saved us by the washing of regeneration
and renewing the Holy Ghost. The Bible says what must I do to be saved and they
said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved in thy house.
Being saved is by believing on Jesus Christ. It's not that we have to obey God
in order to be saved otherwise we're all in trouble for all of sin and come short
of the glory of God. But once we're saved we have the freedom to decide whether
we're gonna serve God or serve the flesh and Jesus said if you love me keep my
commandments. It's about loving Christ and choosing to do the right thing
having the freedom to choose to do right and I've noticed that the people who
believe that salvation is the freest are the ones who do the most for God and the
ones who believe that they have to serve God are more interested in just doing
the minimum for God. So number one I want to say that freedom comes from God we
see it all throughout the Bible we can see the Second Amendment in the Bible
Jesus said to carry a sword all throughout the Old Testament they were
commanded to have weapons and to to use those weapons to protect themselves. We
can see the Fourth and Fifth Amendment in the Bible Jesus Christ himself
refused to answer questions when questioned by the governor Herod. He
refused to testify against himself in court which is where we get our Fifth
Amendment when he said ask those which heard me they heard what I said. He
wouldn't answer the questions he basically was following the Old
Testament laws which said that a person had to be condemned by two or three
witnesses. But number two I want to say this and if you have a Bible turn to
First Samuel chapter 8 if you don't have a Bible don't worry about it but if you
do have a Bible turn to First Samuel chapter 8 number two though if we reject
God as our ruler we will become enslaved by government. It's true it's happened
throughout history it happened throughout the Bible we pretty much have
a choice do we want to be ruled by God's laws do we want to choose to love God
and keep his commandments or do we want to be enslaved by human government. Here's
my text this morning in First Samuel chapter 8 and beginning in verse number
five I'll begin reading it says and said unto him behold thou art old and thy sons
walk not in thy ways now make us a king to judge us like all the nations but the
thing displeased Samuel when they said give us a king to judge us and Samuel
prayed unto the Lord and the Lord said unto Samuel hearken unto the voice of
the people turn the page here in all that they say unto thee for they have
not rejected thee but they have rejected me that I should not reign over them. So
you see God never intended for the children of Israel to live in a monarchy
he never intended for them to have a king he set up a system where they had
total freedom a perfect form of government as laid out in the book of
Deuteronomy but yet they rejected God's laws they rejected God ruling over them
and said no we want to have a king to be like the other nations and he said
Samuel it's not that they've rejected you from being a judge it's they've
rejected me that I should not reign over them. Look at verse number eight it says
according to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought
them up out of Egypt unto this day wherewith they have forsaken me and
served other gods so do they also unto thee now therefore hearken unto their
voice howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them and show them the manner of the
king that shall reign over them and Samuel told all the words of the Lord
unto the people that asked of him a king and he said this will be the manner of
the king that shall reign over you he will take your sons and appoint them for
himself for his chariots and to be his horsemen and some shall run before his
chariots and he will appoint him captains of thousands and captains over
fifties and will make them to ear his ground and to reap his harvest and to
make his instruments of war and instruments of his chariots and he'll
take your daughters to be confectionaries and to be cooks and to be
bakers and he'll take your fields and your vineyards and your olive yards even
the best of them and give them to his servants and he will take the tenth of
your seed and of your vineyards and give to his officers and to his servants and
he'll take your men servants and your maid servants and your goodliest young
men and your asses and put them to his work he'll take the tenth of your sheep
and he shall be his servants and he shall cry out in that day because of
your king which he shall have chosen you and the Lord will not hear you in that
day nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel and they said
nay but we will have a king over us that we may be like all the nations and that
our King may judge us you see when you reject God from reigning over you you
become enslaved by human government God warned him if you reject my system if
you reject me being your leader and me ruling over you and you have a king you
will be enslaved by that King he will take 10% of this 10% of that and you
know our government today thinks they're God but they don't just want the tithe
it almost gives a whole new meaning to the Trinity the way they want they want
to take 10% for the father 10% for the son and 10% for the Holy Ghost I mean
and that's if you're lucky you're paying 30% we're not free in America we've
become enslaved by human government because we don't want to be governed by
God's laws look all of God's laws fit in this book right here and yet and yet if
we were to take the laws of the United States of America we couldn't even fit
them in this building and people think that God has too many rules when these
are God's rules right here and they give freedom and life and liberty and
prosperity and peace but we reject God and we want to be enslaved by a
government that tells us every phase of our life because we just can't accept
God's few laws I'm sorry you know God won't let you be a homosexual pervert
you know you can't be a sodomite queer you know but well we want to have that
so bad and we want to have adultery and want to have fornication and drunkenness
and wickedness and because we want all these wicked filthy things then we'll
reject God from ruling over us and then we'll be enslaved by a government that
will take half of our money that will spend it for us on things that we don't
even believe in to murder children and to do other wicked things and warfare
across the world that we don't believe in he'll take everything we have he'll
take our freedom it'll take our liberty because we won't let God rule over us
let me tell you something every time people in the Bible disobeyed God and
stop letting God rule them they went into bondage the children of Israel went
into bondage again and again because when you spit in the face of God and
thumb your nose at God you will be enslaved there is no freedom outside of
the Lord Jesus Christ freedom comes from God and people today want to have
freedom without God they want to kick God out they want to kick out the name
of Jesus they want to kick out prayer they don't want to hear preaching and
then they expect that they're going to continue to have freedom no they're
gonna have bondage and slavery because whenever you reject God to rule over you
you become enslaved by human government here's why because government becomes a
substitute for God today because people don't believe in God or have rejected
God the government has become a substitute for God let me give you some
examples I already gave you the example about how you know they want your tithe
you know in in triplicate and quintuplicate but not only that think
about the fact that some people today use the human government that we have as
the final authority for what's right and wrong instead of the Bible being the
final authority for what's right and wrong today the government is the one
who decides what's right and wrong so basically if it's legal it's right and
if it's not legal it must not be right let me tell you something there are a
lot of things today that are legal that aren't right and there are a lot of
things that are illegal that are right because the government today has has
been a destructive force against liberty and you see today you'll you'll try to
preach to people the wickedness of abortion and the disgusting nature of
the murder of the unborn and they'll tell you well don't you know abortions
legal I mean you as somebody said I was on some interview they said well you are
aware that abortion is legal that doesn't mean anything it means nothing
because it's still murder and you can call it what you want you can make it
legal but that doesn't make it right and you can make preaching what's right
illegal and that doesn't make it wrong to get up and preach what's right and to
say what's right and to do what's right it's legal or illegal based on God's law
not man's law you see man's law was set up for one thing according to the Bible
read Romans 13 for the punishment of evildoers and that's it but today our
government's out of bounds they are not just there for the punishment of
evildoers they want to invade the home they want to invade the church they want
to invade every part of your personal life that's just another example how the
government takes the place of God they become the measuring stick of morality
they decide what's right and wrong instead of God's Word they're the ones
we give our money to they're the ones who own us and own everything that we
have but not only that look at the surveillance today I don't know about
how it is out here I haven't spent a whole lot of time in West Virginia but I
know that where I live in Phoenix Arizona there is literally a camera on
every street corner in the city of Tempe where I live there is literally a camera
on every street corner and on the interstate highways there are cameras
every mile apart as you go through the city of Phoenix all over the state of
Arizona we are under surveillance and they're not satisfied their goal is to
get us totally under surveillance like Great Britain is totally under the
watchful eye of Big Brother and let me tell you something they think that they
are God because it's the eyes of the Lord that are in every place beholding
the good and evil and they want to be our Lord and they want to have their
eyes in every place beholding our good and evil because they literally believe
that they are God they think the government is God because when you
reject the God of the Bible you end up with the government being I'd rather
have this God than for our government to be my God I'm sick and tired of
preachers today who bow down and worship the government literally as a God they
bowed out of worship the government the government tells them what's right and
wrong the government tells them what they can and can't preach the government
tells them what they can and can't say the government's watching them all the
time but you know I think the big one is that instead of trusting the Lord to
keep us safe and to be our safety net it's the government that's going to keep
us safe and be our safety net you see the Bible says the horse is prepared
against the day of battle but safety is of the Lord the Bible says some trust in
chariots and some in horses but we will remember the name of the Lord our God
and let me tell you something it doesn't matter how many horses and chariots the
United States has today if God is against us we will be destroyed and if
God be for us who can be against us let me give you the answer today to the
so-called war on terror the war on terror you know you got to love these
wars that are on ideas instead of being a war against a specific enemy you know
you know the war on drugs you know the war on poverty the war on terror let me
give you the Bible answer to the the so-called war on terror which is really
the war of terror to terrorize the American people into submission you see
the Bible says in Isaiah 54 14 in righteousness shalt thou be established
thou shalt be far from oppression for thou shalt not fear and from terror for
it shall not come near thee God says righteousness is what will free you from
fear and terror righteousness is what will establish you righteousness will
prevent you from being oppressed and enslaved according to Isaiah 54 14 its
righteousness that we need not a war on terror did you know where the word
terrorist even comes from I don't know if you know where the English word
terrorist comes from but it comes from a French word it came into the English
language from French it was coined in 1793 in revolutionary France and let me
tell you what the word terrorist meant when that word was invented in the
English language it was referring to the faction of the French revolutionary
government that wanted to Institute and did Institute what they dubbed the reign
of terror with mass guillotine executions they called it the reign of
terror and those in government that instituted were known as the terrorist
faction so the government was the original terrorist I mean that's where
the word comes from the government is the one that wants you scared the
government wants you to fear them when really in the Bible there's only one
person you should ever fear and that's God I looked up every time the word fear
exists in the Bible and every single time it was negative unless it was
talking about fearing God every other time it was negative the only legitimate
fear is a fear of God but they don't want us to fear God and keep his
commandments they want us to fear them and keep their commandments because they
have become a substitute for God but you see this God's plan here of being free
from fear and terror and being safe and safeties of the Lord it only works if
you're righteous and the problem is we live in such a wicked and disgusting
abomination of a nation today that today we can't rely on God to protect us that's
why we have to have bases all over the world that's why we have to spend more
and more on military that's why we have to fight all these preventative wars and
go to war and do all this stuff I'll tell you why because God can't protect
us anymore because we're unrighteous and we're wicked and so that's why we're
scared all the time that's why the threat level has been orange for the
last 10 years I mean you go to the airport and the threat level is orange
I've never has anybody remember was it ever yellow or green or blue it's just
always orange all the time well let me tell you something if they really knew
what God was going to do to this country they'd bump it up to red if they really
knew the judgment that was going to come from God on this nation they would go
from a threat level orange to a red alert because God will judge this nation
if we had righteousness he'd protect us but because our country has become
wicked and unrighteous it's going to be judged by God but let me explain to you
the problem let me explain to you the problem here why are we in the position
that we're in and there are many reasons but let me give you one reason
why we're in the position that we're in see the Bible says in John chapter 8
verse 32 and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free the
Bible says in Hosea 4 6 my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because
thou has rejected knowledge I will also reject thee this is God speaking that
thou shalt be no priest to me seeing thou has forgotten the law of thy God I
will also forget thy children the Bible says in Ephesians 6 12 for we wrestle
not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers and listen
to this next phrase against the rulers of the darkness of this world against
spiritual wickedness in high places you know keeping people in darkness what is
darkness represent ignorance if you walk in darkness you can't see where
you're going the Bible says and because of our lack of knowledge that's why our
people are being destroyed because of a lack of knowing the truth that's why we
don't have freedom because of the fact that there's the rulers of the darkness
of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places that is what's stopping
us from having freedom today it's ignorance it's lies it's deception but
when you don't pick up this book and read it and when your mind is being
literally programmed by the television or by conservative talk radio or by the
left-wing you know talk and and and media whatever it is if you're being
brainwashed by the mainstream media and you've never even read this book like
most Christians have never read this book cover to cover even one time and
you wonder why we're enslaved it's because we don't even know that we're
being enslaved because we have no knowledge and the pastors of America are
the ones that ought to be shouting and screaming the loudest freedom freedom we
ought to be telling the truth about what's going on but today in many cases
it's the pastors and pulpits of America that are parroting the government line
the FEMA thank you the FEMA pastors you say I don't know if I really think that
that's real that whole you know FEMA pastors and you know I know personally
of big mega church pastors that I've known who have said they were contacted
and literally brought to the White House and sat down in a meeting with
George W Bush and given their marching orders for what to preach and what they
needed to say and what they needed to do I could tell you I mean I know it for a
fact you may not think that that's going on but you know what they're not stupid
they know that the preachers of America and the pastors of churches have the ear
of millions and millions and millions of people across this land and they have
corrupted the pastors of America they have turned them into government
prostitutes of propaganda across the land it's true they are hirelings and
I'm gonna tell you something they literally and I mean I don't I'm sure
that some of them are just ignorant and and maybe their hearts in the right
place but they just that's stupid to hella vision is just brainwashed them or
or maybe they just don't have time to read this book because they're too busy
reading some you know feel-good book from the Christian bookstore that's
gonna tell them about God instead of reading the Holy Bible and and figuring
out what's really going I mean come on come on read the Bible how many times
the whole book of Acts is people getting thrown in jail and breaking out of jail
I mean that's the whole book I mean almost every chapter somebody's going to
jail all throughout the Old Testament they're fighting against wickedness and
they're fighting against tyranny and oppression and they're being enslaved
because of their unrighteousness and they're losing freedom but today
preachers want to preach a feel-good sermon they literally will parade the
police chief and every government mayor governors mayor's congressman good or
bad they'll parade them across the the platform and say you know we appreciate
your service you know I'm not saying that there aren't good people serving in
those positions but to indiscriminately praise our government unbelievable we
ought to have pastors that are getting in the pulpit and telling people the
truth you know this freedom movement that's sweeping across America and it
is in the last two or three years there's been a movement of freedom
sweeping across this nation and let me tell you something it's often been known
as the truth movement have you heard that before you've heard called the
truth movement because let me tell you something the to go hand in hand when
you're listening to liars you'll never be free when you're being lied to it
doesn't matter whether you can vote if everything you're voting on is a lie and
everything that you've been told about the candidates is a lie and everything
you believe about what they're gonna do when they get elected is all a lie
that's not freedom you get to choose you know whether it's the left boot or the
right boot that steps on your head you know you get to choose whether or not to
be enslaved by the right or enslaved by the left you see we need pastors that
will faithfully preach God's Word and explain to people what freedom is why
freedom is valuable and today I think the biggest reason why people don't
think freedom is valuable is because they don't understand that when one
person's rights are violated it's gonna be you tomorrow you know today it was me
you know getting beaten and tasered but that'll never happen to you right you
know I'm just a businessman just try all I said was I just don't want to be
searched without a warrant that's all did I seem violent in that video did I
had no weapon in the car I had my eyes closed with my face in my hands and yet
I was beaten and tasered mercilessly and had to get 11 stitches that night when I
was taken to the hospital it could happen to anybody and we we don't care
when it happens to somebody else you know we you know we will put up with the
government torturing somebody as long as they're a terrorist but let me say this
do you trust the government to handle the finances of our nation are they
doing a good job would you trust the government to run health care is
anybody for that okay but yet you'll trust them to only torture the right
people unbelievable the Eighth Amendment says cruel and unusual punishments shall
not be inflicted and it doesn't say upon whom or by whom it just says no cruel
and unusual punishments and yet today I saw a poll recently that said that
60% of people who go to church are for torture and 40% of people who don't go
to church are for torture something's wrong with that picture you see every
government that's ever used torture has always tortured its own people every
time and you say well you know you don't want to give them our rights I don't
give anybody their rights our rights come from God and if they're endowed by
the Creator then it doesn't matter what country you're a citizen of you have the
right to be free period people don't like that today but it's true if I got
my rights from my Creator it wasn't given to me because I'm an American
citizen so I shouldn't have to walk around everywhere pulling out my papers
and proving that I'm a citizen you know like Nazi Germany because it doesn't
matter whether I'm a citizen or not I have freedom because I'm a human being
created in the image of God and you see when it's somebody else we don't care we
don't care about the Eighth Amendment until it's us being tortured we don't
care about the Second Amendment if we don't own guns you know I don't own
guns but I do own guns of course give me a break I'm like I did like Jesus said I
have two swords I have a 45 and a rifle okay so I have my two swords but you see
we don't care about the Fourth Amendment because we're not a business traveler
you know we're not constantly going through checkpoints and having to be
searched and all that we don't care cuz you know it doesn't affect me you know
the Fifth Amendment I hardly ever even run into the police well you don't live
in Phoenix the police are everywhere I think that there's a policeman assigned
to each person living in Tempe is my theory but let me tell you something I
bet everybody in here believes in the First Amendment and thinks that's
important I bet you every single person in here thinks the freedom of religion
is important I'll bet you every single person who's here thinks that the
freedom of speech is important and yet if they can take away the Eighth
Amendment and say it doesn't mean anything if they can take away the Sixth
Amendment and not give you a trial by jury not give you a speedy trial if they
can take away the Fourth Amendment and search you without a warrant if they can
take away the Fifth Amendment and force you to be interrogated and answer
questions if they can take away the Second Amendment and infringe upon your
right to keep and bear arms what's the word bear me to carry and in many places
across America you can't carry a gun you can own one locked up somewhere but you
can't bear those arms but let me tell you something if the second doesn't
matter the fourth doesn't matter the fifth doesn't matter the eighth doesn't
matter mark it down the First Amendment will be gone it'll be gone I saw a
bumper sticker on somebody's chair it said if the First Amendment doesn't work
the second will that's pretty funny
but let me tell you something why did why did I make that stand why not let
him search my try I mean look I would have been out in and out of there in a
few minutes right if I were to pop the trunk answered all the questions told
them where I was going what I was doing what I do for a living yes I'm a US
citizen go ahead and check the trunk go and check under the hood I would've been
out of there in a few minutes right but what kind of a country would my children
inherit you know that's what I was asking myself and if I do what's best
for me it's gonna be to preserve myself you know what's best for me well what's
best for me is just to go with the flow get home to my family go home to my
comfortable bed tonight and relax but you know what somebody's got to draw a
line in the sand whatever that line is and it doesn't matter which of the Bill
of Rights you're fighting for because every single one of them is essential
you've got to draw that line in the sand and you've got to say you know what it's
not about me what good is my comfort and financial security going to do me if my
children grow up in a country where they cannot even afford to have children like
in Europe today where they can't even afford to have children where they're
forced to have both parents working where they're forced to not have a
mother there in the home where they're forced to put their children in a
godless wicked public school brainwashing center against their will
if they want to homeschool their children where they're forced to
vaccinate where they're forced to go to a church that can't preach the whole
Council of God and every word of God what good is it gonna do us to be safe
and secure and comfortable if we don't have freedom to preach the gospel and to
live our lives and to raise our children and to spank our children and to raise
our families it's worthless stand up today stand up for your rights as an
American and stand up and boldly proclaim the truth of God's Word without
apology quit watering down the message preachers of America quit toning it down
look people will leave the church they'll quit the church you might have
to install a revolving door in the front of your church but preach God's Word
thank you
