This episode covers the three main issues that emerged from the Historic Reformation.

What was the divine order of authority in the world between God's Word, the Church, and tradition?

Who and what is infallible between the church and the Bible?

Keeping the traditions of God while discarding the traditions of men that made void God's commandments.

When Luther nailed the 96 Thesis to the door of the Wittenberg Church, he was not seeking to split the church.

He was desirous to have a healthy debate with church leaders over their treatment of the Bible and the souls entrusted to their care.

First of the point of the Thesis is repentance is spiritual gift not a financial transaction.

God is the supreme authority not the pope. All human authority delegated by God has limits..

Indulgences cannot redeem the souls of men nor remove the guilt and shame of sin.

Indulgences perverts the true Gospel of the Kingdom.

The true treasures in the church are not wealth, but the Gospel of God's grace and mercy.

Christians should imitate Christ. Believers should serve others and embrace compassion which means suffer with rather than rely on papal pardons.

The Church should use its wealth to help the poor, not exploit them.

In summary, he taught forgiveness and salvation come from God, not the Pope or the Church. Indulgences are a human invention that exploits believers, especially the poor. The Church needs reform to return to the teachings of Scripture and the message of grace.

This episode covers the Historic Reformation.

It lists three notables before Martin Luther.

They are John Wycliffe, the Morning Star of the Reformation, William Tyndale, and Jan Hus.

They all overserved the condition of the Catholic Church and demanded necessary changes to correct the corruption.

They argued that the church should not exploit the poor by selling indulgences but help the poor. The true treasure was the Gospel of the Kingdom, not silver and gold.

They all believed the Bible not the Pope was the ultimate authority of God in the earth.

They worked to get the Scriptures in the mother tongue to fulfill William Tyndale's godly goal “I will cause a boy that driveth the plow shall know more of the Scripture than thou dost..”

Luther's statement at the Diet of Worms, "“Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. May God help me. Amen.”

Many men, women, children gave their last ounce of devotion to secure God's Word to this present generation.

Do we treasure this redemptive history?

Do we know it and are we willing to duplicate their faith to secure a future and a hope for subsequent generations yet to come?

This podcast episode covers the great adventure of packing up, starting over in Florida, and planting the American Reformation Church.

Updates include the vision and mission of the church.

It includes its growth, missionary work, and impact thus far.

Updates also include a contact with a viable film producer who may be interested in producing Jeremiah Strong and our newest movie script, Orphan City.

Our newest book “When the Kingdom” is soon to be published.

On the family front, there are three marriages happening within one year in the Thomas nation. Must be a record.

We have one daughter, Jubilee, left at home, who is on the marriage docket as well.

The grandkids continue to come, and we have the opportunity to help homeschool them as well.

What has been the aftermath of Charli Kirk's Assassination?

What powerful dynamics have been set in motion impacting our nation and the world.

Is the narrative concerning Kirk's murder consistent with the evidence now coming to light?

There are major discrepancies that do not match the official narrative.

Chief among them is the direction of the hit. It appears not to be coming from the front, but from behind. See video for evidence in this link.

The majority of recent conspiracy theories have been proven true.

It is important to keep our discernment level high but not be conspiracy minded. There is an important Biblical distinction here.

Isaiah 8:11-14, "or the Lord spoke thus to me with [i]a strong hand and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying: “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, nor be afraid of their threats, nor be [troubled. The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow;

Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread.

14 He will be as a sanctuary."

What happens when pastors and elders refuse to address the current evils to the flock of God?

It creates a Christianity divorced from reality.

How then shall we live when the threat levels have increased and the danger is real?

Quote by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and was quoted in the movie American Sniper, "There are three types of people in this world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Some people prefer to believe that evil doesn't exist in the world, and if it ever darkened their doorstep, they wouldn’t know how to protect themselves. Those are the sheep. Then you've got predators—wolves—who use violence to hurt the weak. And then there are those who have been blessed with the gift of aggression and the responsibility to protect the flock. These people are a rare breed, and they live to confront the wolf. They are the sheepdogs."

There is a need for Christian men to become sheepdogs again.

This is also true on the international front as Europe may need to be recued from foreign invaders.

What about the Crusaders and the just war theory?

The founding of America and the shot heard around the world that took place at a church parking lot.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrestling between his strong love ethic and commitment to pacifism in the face of Hitler's evil.

The episode concludes with Biblical principles on God. war, violence, and defense.

This episode covers that last couple of days of monumental events impacting our nation.

The first one is personal. Our granddaughter Daisy Mae's life is hanging in the balance. We need a miracle.

Second, is the sad and infuriating incident in that happened in Charlotte, NC.

Not sure what was the worst situation in that unprovoked attack against Iryna. Was it the crazed career criminal, the corrupt justice system, the fake news racial deceptive narratives, or the apathy and lack of intervention by those who stood idly by and didn't lift a finger to try and save her life?

Third, is the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The threat level has risen and the danger is real.

The powers that be are using this to get people angry to lash out or make them fearful and hide.

We must not fall for the bait and we need to spit out the scandalon.

We must also be prepared as Christian men to protect and defend victims from their predators.

Men gat back in shape, Become strong, learn to be proficient in firer arm's training. develop a security team at your church and remain vigilant.

Here is the second message delivered at out first annual KLI Manhood Bootcamp.

It is based upon an interview between Jordan Peterson and Tim Tebow.

Jordan was curious to know how can Tim be so fiercely completive in sports, hate the thought of losing and have this sense of a higher calling and service to the least of these.

Tim didn't flinch, "I must fight for those who cannot fight for themselves."

This is Tim's vision statement, "“to bring faith, hope and love to those who need a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.”

Through the competition of sports and his work with his family on the mission field he learned to pursue being the MVP, Most Valuable Player to rescue the Most Vulnerable People.

This episode covers this topic Biblically by studying the life of Job in chapter 29. He was the MVP of his day.

C S Lewis stated, "“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”

To remedy that dreadful state, C. S. Lewis wrote that the disparate strands of manhood-- fierceness and gentleness--can find healthy synthesis in the person of the knight and in the code of chivalry. Here these competing impulses--normally found in different individuals--find their union."

God’s word affirms this call men, "Be brave, be strong and do all things in love (1 Corinthians 16:13).

Jordan Peterson stated, "“A harmless man isn’t a good man. A good man is a dangerous man who has everything under voluntary control.”

He also declared, "“And if you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of.”

"Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times"

Gentlemen, become an MVP for Christ and for the Most Vulnerable People! AMEN.

Episode begins with a recap of our first annual KLI Manhood Bootcamp.

I share God's dealings with me as a young man and His dealings with me as an old man.

Psalms 78:1-8 demands fathers perk up, listen and pass on the faith and create a multi=Kingdom generational vison to their posterity.

Though Israel had great Kings, Prophets, and Priests, their main failure was a failure of fatherhood to pass on a godly heritage and legacy.

Psalms 71:17, 18 and the importance of understanding the continuum which captures the past, present, and future.

Men cannot afford to hire professionals in the state and the church to replace their duties and responsibilities.

To pass on a godly legacy and heritage, men must seek to accomplish two main goals. The first is to pass on a godly heritage and the second a financial inheritance.

Proverbs 13:22 states, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.” If a man does not provide for his family, it is a serious affront to God. God says, he is worse than an infidel and has denied the faith.

King David’s preparations and provision for Solomon is a tremendous example to drive home this aspect of fatherhood.

David's preparations encompassed both spiritual and practical aspects that ensured Solomon's success in obeying God's will and fulfill the scared task.

We heard it through the grapevine President Trump wants to go to Heaven.

There is the rub.

How does one obtain heaven to escape the torments of hell.

There is a way that seems right to man, but ends in death.

It is good that he desires this.

As men age mortality comes a knocking. Death is an enemy that Satan uses to torment men and nation with fear.

Yet, God has put eternity in every man's soul.

Trump may seek it, but the way he is going about it will never secure his place in paradise.

It is good he seeks to bee a peacemaker, but he could end all wars, but still not merit heaven.

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus chrsit.

Salvation is not of works should any man boast. It is the gift of God.

What if you gain the whole world, build an historical legacy as president and lose your own soul.

Trump needs to change his spiritual advisors.

He needs someone who loves him enough to tell him the true Gospel.

Let's pray for those in authority.
