The two party system is over and many are saying that a third party will rise up. Greg shares how this emerging party will be conservative but one that fears God. Just like during the reign of King Ahab of Israel the Bible states that God through the Prophet Elijah gave Israel a clear choice. Will they serve the prophets of Baal or will they choose God? Today America stands at a clear point of decision in regards to values. Will America choose the innocent shedding of blood, abortion, or will they choose to honor the sanctity of life? Will America choose marriage as how God says in His word it should be between one man and one woman or will America choose to vote for same sex marriages and change the way marriage is defined? Will America choose to honor God and trust Him or will America choose to honor government as God? Freedom comes only with a moral society. Take the time to educate yourself on God's values and where each candidate and voting issue stands in regards to God's values. Vote God's values. There is a clear decision to be made.

Greg shares about he and his wife, Donna, went to eat at Flounders on Pensacola Beach and enjoyed Seafood Nachos.

In order to transport this "mountain" of nachos safely they dedicated a seatbelt in the back seat for its safe travels. Enjoy this humor moment.

You can't serve both God and money. It's time to re-think church. The Church is not a building; the Church is God's people. Greg, John, and Pat share that if you only care for God's people because there is pay associated with that care than you are a hireling. The Lord never said get paid then go preach. The world's economy is never going to get right if the Church doesn't get their economy right. If you are saying that you love your church and you are talking about a building, be opened to be challenged with there is something wrong with the DNA of that. Focusing on buildings instead of the church is a methodology that allows wolves to be among the sheep unnoticed and undetected with God's people, the church, that are supposed to be protected.

A mother repeatedly tells a 10 year old boy to make his bed and the boy repeatedly does not obey his mother. One day she gives the boy consequences for not obeying her when she asked him to make his bed. The young boy begins to say how sorry he was, begs for leniency, and even says it won't happen again, but the mother knows that this recent sorrow was because of the consequences and not because the child was truly sorry for not making his bed. The boy makes the bed for a day and then goes back to not making it. Greg, John, and Pat share that this is how many in the church view repentance. If we love God we will honor him and do what he wants us to do and not do what he doesn't want us to do. When we disobey him it shouldn't be a common occurrence but occurrences that are rare. It doesn't matter how much you cry, complain and the state of your brokenness if when it's all said and done you haven't repented. Just like the boy in the example, repentance was him doing what he was asked to do from his heart. So it is with us. If you are a believer it all starts with you. It's time to honor God and repent from sin by honoring God with our obedience and not just with words.

The church has become institutionalized and acting more like prisoners than the fully functioning body of Christ. Greg, John, and Pat discuss how the church has been content to stay behind the walls not evangelizing, not praying for others not advancing the kingdom of God and relying on leaders to do it all. They discuss a movie about prison and liken it to how much of the church is bound today. They share how the church is going to have to transition from captivity to being free. The book of Acts is a great model for the Church to follow. It's time to no longer be held captive and come out and just simply be the church under the government of family. You are going to need some transitioning but it is okay if you fear God you will no longer need fences. Come out from the prison walls and no longer blame others or make excuses, abide, be discipled and advance God's Kingdom.

In this moment of wisdom, found in Proverbs 11:22 , Greg shares how a ring in a pig's snout was used to control a pig. Today many beautiful men and women are using their beauty and bodies for seduction with men being seduced and women controlling what they do. Today's culture is deep into seduction and God's people should never use their bodies to seduce others. When using seduction as a way to hook others you also attract those you never intended to attract often times resulting in you suffering for it. Jesus said in Luke 17: 2 "It would be better for him (the seducer) to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin."

America is creating four billion dollars of debt a day and America is rapidly approaching a Fiscal cliff. At some point we will transfer over to a beast economy. What are the signs? What begins to happen when satan's economy begins to formulate? You can almost sense the chess pieces moving on the proverbial chess set of the world's economy. In this emerging economy you will not be able to buy or sell without the mark and all this is happening in earshot of a snoring church. Greg, John, and Pat share how all this is beginning to take place and how many in the future can potentially accept the mark and not even know it. Whoever controls the economy controls the vision and if you give up all the control to the government they will call all the shots. Do we really want to give up America?

Greg, John and Pat share that just like in the days of Noah when people were carrying on with life conducting business as usual marrying and having children living in darkness, sin and rebellion to God all the while God was about to judge the world. So it is today. Many today are carrying on business as usual living in darkness and calling what is right wrong and calling what is wrong right and normal. There is a battle between light and darkness and as believers it's time to let your light shine, to be discipled and abide so that the Kingdom of God that is on the inside of you can advance outside of you. All it takes is your complete surrender to Jesus.

Apostle Paul encourages the church in Romans 12:1-2 not to conform to the patterns of this world. It was good instruction then and it still good instruction for today's Church. Greg, John, and Pat share how God has called his Church to be separate in the way it acts and lives from those in the world, those who do not know God. Yet when looking at some of the Church and the world it's hard to differentiate between the two. They share regarding shameful things ministers are doing in front young people in their church gatherings where carnality is being used to reach peoples flesh. All the while some of the Church has so intertwined that America and God look the same to them. Saying things like a certain political party is God's party. God came before America not the other way around. The pilgrims came to this country to seek a place where they can serve God and out of that desire America was able to come forth. A nation where a constitution was created that allows us to be nonconformists. We'll see the Church in America come alive again, when we give up trying to "blend in" and realize "friendship with the world is an enemy of God" and that we can't win someone to God, by becoming what they are held captive by. God has called us to be a Holy people.
