00:01:17.000Today, I want to talk just broadly to the people watching on the live stream that might be out of state and also to all of you kind of how should we Christians think about what's about to happen on Tuesday?
00:01:37.000About should we care about politics or not care about politics?
00:01:41.000And the Bible says a lot about these things because there is a growing belief, and I believe a growing heresy, where people say Christians should not care at all about what's happening in government.
00:01:52.000Now, we have to be very clear that Jesus needs to be the center of everything that we do, Jesus at the center of it all.
00:01:59.000Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and there is nothing more important than giving your life to the Lord.
00:03:03.000That's the Lord speaking in Jeremiah 29, 7, that you should care about what's happening around you.
00:03:09.000And I think all of us here, and obviously you live here and you know it, New Mexico has some very serious problems right now.
00:03:15.000I've been coming here for over 10 years, and you could just see it just driving down Route 66, driving down Central.
00:03:21.000It's not the place it was 10 years ago.
00:03:23.000I mean, there's always been problems, obviously, but this place is falling apart because the political leaders in this state have allowed it to fall apart for far too long.
00:03:31.000And we need to have a heart for all people, but when I'm driving down the street at 8 o'clock in the morning and you see people that are doing hard drugs on the side of the street at 8 a.m., in the open air, you say, that's the downfall of civil society.
00:03:47.000And we as Christians should care about that.
00:03:49.000So, Jeremiah 29 7 is demand the welfare of the nation that you are in, seek the welfare of the nation you are in, require the welfare.
00:03:55.000That should bother us, that should concern us.
00:03:58.000And so let's kind of talk about three issues, though, even beyond kind of vagrancy, homelessness, drug use, which is obviously really important, that every Christian across the country should care about this coming Tuesday.
00:04:09.000So I make the argument that you are biblically commanded to at least go and vote by Tuesday.
00:04:15.000Now, who here is going to vote on Tuesday?
00:04:58.000I'm just going to tell you, you have to vote biblically.
00:05:01.000And there are three things that are literally on the ballot, and it's not.
00:05:04.000Democracy on the ballot that we keep on hearing all the time.
00:05:07.000No, it's three things that are on the ballot that are so clear that affect our church, that affect Christianity, that affect our viewpoint, affect the gospel.
00:05:17.000Number one, all of you lived through what I believe to be one of the most immoral, unconstitutional, reckless campaigns of this governor recklessly and unconstitutionally shutting down the church.
00:05:33.000And by the way, this church led by Pastor Steve.
00:05:38.000Was heroic in its stand against the tyranny of this governor.
00:07:56.000It's not in the Declaration of Independence.
00:07:58.000It was a single letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptist Convention, actually guaranteeing the church that the church would not be persecuted by the government.
00:08:07.000But let's pretend that was the law of the land, okay?
00:08:09.000Let's pretend that is actually what stands in our country.
00:08:13.000Then why is it, if we have separation of church and state, why is it that this governor and the New Mexico government was able to shut down the church?
00:08:22.000I thought they were supposed to be separate.
00:09:28.000When all of a sudden you're teaching eight year olds, 10 year olds, 11 year olds, 12 year olds that they could choose their gender.
00:09:33.000And you have these incredibly aggressive, irreversible medical interventions where we are medically mutilating tens of thousands and soon to be hundreds of thousands of children across the country.
00:09:44.000We have to draw the line and say, We are not going to put up with this.
00:09:47.000And when you see the pornography in our schools, you see this graphic nature.
00:10:53.000You are only temporarily occupying this body.
00:10:56.000You have a soul that will live forever, a soul that will go to heaven.
00:10:59.000Therefore, if you believe human beings have souls, you believe that that human being is worthy of protection.
00:11:06.000But if you believe a human being is an accident of Darwinian evolution, if you think the human being just kind of randomly came into existence, Why wouldn't you be able just to crush a million babies a year?
00:11:18.000But when all of a sudden you look at that as a soul and someone that is equally a human being as you, your own convenience actually isn't as important as their life, as their liberty, as their future.
00:11:30.000Because you're dealing with somebody that has the same type of soul that you have.
00:11:33.000That's what we mean as human equality, by the way.
00:11:48.000And right now, I think you can all feel it at times, the spiritual darkness and pressure that plagues this city and this region, because this is the late-term abortion capital of the world.
00:13:00.000Mention the code KERC26 when you call for $250 off.
00:13:05.000Miss this deadline and failure to file penalties are assessed immediately with interest compounding daily, growing your debt every single hour.
00:13:12.000Every hour past October 15th hands the IRS more power over your life.
00:13:18.000So if you owe back taxes or haven't filed, understand this it's not a matter of if the IRS will act, it's when.
00:13:32.000So protect your financial security with guidance from America Tax Group.
00:13:36.000Call the firm I trust right now before October 15th, 888 381 3816.
00:13:43.000Mention the code KERC26 when you call for $250 off.
00:13:50.000Now, we can all agree on that, but I'm sure there's someone in this audience, and I could just see them.
00:13:53.000They have their arms crossed, and they're looking at me, and they say, Charlie, What is the point of me voting if my vote is going to be stolen?
00:14:01.000Okay, this is, be very fairly, I'm gonna be very nice, but this is Pastor Steve's church, so I could be a little bit more forthright.0.97
00:14:08.000Which is, that is the dumbest thing I've heard in quite some time.0.69
00:14:28.000Now, I hear all the wackiest excuses you could imagine from people, right?
00:14:33.000Some people say, well, Charlie, I can't show up and vote because I don't have enough time.
00:14:37.000Or I say, hold on a second, not enough time.
00:14:39.000I just drove by a Starbucks as I came in here in Albuquerque, and I was looking at people that were sitting and waiting 20 minutes for a Frappuccino, and you go to the McDonald's line, they wait 15 minutes to go get diabetes and increase their chance of heart disease.
00:14:59.000Wait very patiently for something that will decrease your life expectancy, but you can't go wait in line or you can't go vote early for 10 to 20 minutes to go fill out a piece of paper to go save the republic.
00:15:11.000Yeah, that's a really bad excuse, by the way.
00:15:35.000But the point is this if every Christian in the state of New Mexico showed up and voted biblically in just a couple hours from now, that governor will be displaced from power overnight.0.61
00:16:03.000You now know the right thing to do is to go vote.
00:16:05.000And failing to do that, I believe, is rebelling against God.
00:16:09.000I'm not asking you to go storm Normandy Beach.
00:16:12.000I'm not asking you to go pull an all nighter.
00:16:14.000Basically, I'm saying is for everyone in the audience, just to show up and fill out a piece of paper, and even better, go bring three friends.
00:16:46.000So the secular world actually shows up more than Christians.
00:16:49.000I think part of it, honestly, Is because most churches aren't like this church and they're not being told by their pastor that you got to go do the thing on election day and you got to go vote because they say, Oh, what difference does it make?
00:16:59.000I could tell you what difference it makes.
00:17:01.000The difference is having a governor that won't shut you down.
00:17:03.000The difference is when, for example, I can tell you, you're about to see a very big difference because I think Arizona's about to elect Kerry Lake and I think it's going to be one of the most amazing things you're going to see.
00:17:39.000It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
00:17:43.000Jesus continued by saying, You are the light of the world.
00:17:45.000A city set on a hill cannot be hidden, nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
00:17:54.000Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
00:18:00.000What do salt and light have in common?
00:18:02.000They change the environment that they come in contact with.
00:18:05.000Salt makes something saltier and changes it, makes it more preserved forever.
00:18:09.000Light excommunicates the darkness, makes it easier for people to flourish.
00:18:13.000The question is are we being salt and light?
00:18:15.000Are we changing the environment that we are put in right now?
00:18:32.000We're fighting for the girl that got illegally sex trafficked across the border last night.1.00
00:18:36.000We're fighting for the person that's going to overdose on fentanyl in Farmington.
00:18:40.000We're fighting for the kid that's about to consume pornography in the public schools here, in Albuquerque Public Schools.
00:18:47.000We're not going to put up with that because we fight for the least of these in our society.
00:18:51.000And we're not going to all of a sudden roll over and be cynical and apathetic because we're told that there's a small chance of victory.
00:19:00.000Before he ever stepped onto a debate stage or behind a microphone, Charlie understood something really important that if you want to lead, you first have to learn.
00:19:10.000Charlie believed that ideas shape character, conviction, and courage.
00:19:13.000That's why he spent years studying the classics, the American founding, and the Bible through Hillsdale College's free online courses.
00:19:20.000He would rave about these courses all the time.
00:19:22.000These free online courses are taught by Hillsdale College professors and draw from the same great books and enduring ideas studied on Hillsdale's campus.
00:19:31.000Hillsdale's newest free online course is the Iliad, where Professor Stephen Smith guides students through Homer's great epic of honor, courage, friendship, leadership, and the pursuit of true greatness.
00:19:42.000For nearly 3,000 years, the Iliad has shaped the Western imagination.
00:19:45.000It tells the story of Achilles as he confronts injustice, rage, grief, responsibility, and the terrible costs of war.
00:19:52.000But Homer's epic is more than a story of ancient battles.
00:19:55.000It raises enduring questions about courage, duty, leadership, sacrifice, and self command.
00:20:00.000Achilles is the greatest warrior among the Greeks, but Homer asks whether strength alone is enough to make a man truly great.
00:20:07.000In this new free online course, you'll follow Achilles through the defining trials of his life and discover why one of the greatest works of Western literature still speaks.
00:20:15.000To the permanent questions of human life, Charlie understood that learning isn't just about gaining knowledge, it's about forming the mind and character needed to face the challenges of life with wisdom and courage.
00:20:26.000You can enroll today completely free and take this class or their 40 plus other free online courses.
00:20:32.000Just visit charlieforhillsdale.com to start learning today.
00:21:21.000I don't care about what happens politically.
00:21:23.000Now, I talked about how the church could be closed down, but I ask a question Can anyone tell me in these 66 books of the Bible, the Word of God, can anyone find an example in Scripture where God encourages us to ignore what's happening in the world around us?
00:21:37.000Can anyone find a Scripture where Jesus told us to retreat from the evil?
00:21:41.000He tells us to lean into it and to be not afraid.
00:21:45.000You see, in a time when you look at the odds against you, is it the time to go just kind of cower and act as if you have nothing to say?
00:21:52.000Or is it that we now have the Word of God?
00:21:54.000And we have the wind at our back, and we have momentum, and we're going to do more than ever before.
00:21:58.000You see, how many election cycles have we heard of people say, Oh, this is New Mexico, there's no chance, we have no opportunity?
00:22:06.000This state is not a majorly populated state, as you well know.
00:22:10.000Therefore, every single one of you that vote, your vote actually matters more, especially those of you that might not vote on a regular basis.
00:22:17.000As Jesus said in Matthew 28 19, Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:24:16.000That would be an interesting recommendation.
00:24:18.000But here's what I will say He's a bodyguard and he knows how to fight.
00:24:22.000And when you hire a bodyguard, you want someone to win.
00:24:24.000Now, I'm not here to talk about Trump, but I am here to kind of qualify something.
00:24:28.000A broken vessel that we all are, he lived a very colorful life, did more for the unborn than almost any other president in American history with Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Gorsuch and putting them on the United States Supreme Court.
00:24:43.000Now, you look throughout the Bible, God used broken vessels for his purpose.
00:24:47.000Joseph, Job, Samson, Rahab, the Samaritan woman, Noah, Jeremiah, Jacob, David, Jonah, Naomi, Peter, Martha, Zacchaeus, and Paul, all throughout the scriptures are example after example of people that were adulterers, that were prostitutes, people that were tax collectors, people that persecuted Christians.
00:25:12.000I say, If God can use Samson, who came upon him in a prostitute's bed, and then use the jaw of a donkey to kill a thousand Philistines, to end up in the hall of faith in Hebrews, if he can use Paul, who wrote the most of the New Testament, who persecuted Christians, he can use an imperfect vessel to go fight for righteousness, fight for the unborn in government, and that is what we need to look, and that's how we need to look at this.
00:25:35.000You see, what I'm asking you is to understand the gratitude of the gift we have been given, which is the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:25:44.000The founding fathers were so clear in the structure and the promise of our government, separation of powers, consent to the governed, independent judiciary.
00:25:51.000You see, the fact we have an election.
00:25:55.000The fact you are a citizen and not a serf, not a slave, the fact that you are, or a subject, the fact you're a citizen, someone that is a co owner of your nation, the fact that you are able to actually participate in these elections is something so unique, so beautiful, so unprecedented.
00:26:14.000By the end of the year, more than 60,000 babies will have been saved by pre born centers.
00:27:53.000If you think Jesus is coming soon, you should be wanting to do more for his kingdom and actually spread the message more, not less, and be more of salt and light.
00:28:02.000So let me kind of tie all this together and close this as what I'm seeing in the country.
00:28:05.000But first, let me make a very shameless plug as a way you guys could support us.
00:28:09.000I forgot to do this in the first service.
00:28:11.000If you guys want to get more of our commentary, two things.
00:28:15.000On Tuesday evening, we are going to be streaming live on our live stream on Rumble, on YouTube.
00:28:21.000We're going to have tons of followers.
00:28:22.000If you want very biased election commentary that's going to be cheering for the House and the Senate to be flipped and also that understands the data, I fully acknowledge it'll be very biased, but it'll be true and it'll be fun.
00:30:05.000I see how much you guys care about your home.
00:30:07.000When we have these events together, when you ask the questions and how much you care about your education, you look at the room around you.
00:30:13.000If every single person here brought three friends to the polls on Tuesday, the multiplication effect could just shock the entire world.
00:30:21.000And so, what I am asking here is for every Christian watching at home, for every single person here in this audience, is in this short window to fulfill Jesus' commandment of being salt and light, to change the environment that you are in.
00:30:33.000Because, boy, there'd be a lot of changing of this environment that you are in in New Mexico.
00:30:38.000Because we've been given this incredible gift of the United States Constitution that was not written for the times, but written to stand the test of time.
00:30:46.000And we, as American citizens, we can make a choice.
00:30:49.000We can make a choice just to kind of be spectators and sit around.
00:30:52.000And I know a lot of you here have said, Charlie, I'm tired of hearing this.
00:30:56.000I've done everything that you've asked me to do.
