In this moment of wisdom found in Proverbs 20:22 "Do not say, I will pay back for this wrong! Wait for the Lord, he will deliver you."

"Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. "

Romans 12:19-21

Greg shares that we win when we begin to love. Stay away from mindsets of "payback" allows God to work things out.

Greg, John, and Pat discuss how the Church is called to step out of the crowd and go against the grain. C.S Lewis said "To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men." It's a time for the Church get back to dying for the cause of Christ. It's time for heroes to rise up and to no longer conform to the patterns of this world. We are called to be nonconformists; the church is not to be a sub culture to the world but a counter culture. In order to take a nation for Christ we must first start with ourselves and be transformed. Being transformed in our mind is what we think, want, and feel to what God thinks, wants, and feels. This will take a process and through discipleship this transformation can begin in our lives freeing us from everything that is religious and void of God. We need to reformat our heartdrives. It's okay to begin again on a right foundation. It is a time to cry out to God in humility and start a new dumping of everything that comes from a spirit of religion and beginning with a foundation in Jesus Christ alone.

Greg, John, and Pat discuss the Communist Manifesto that was being laid out for our country in the 60's and the affect it had on those in our nation, in particular women in our nation were made to feel bad for staying home and raising their children. They were calling good bad and bad good. The result was the creeping of an ideology that was being used to change the course of a nation. The Bible clearly teaches us in 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 that

"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete."

As believers we can be renewed in our mind by demolishing any ideology and or argument that tries to come against the knowledge and truth of God's word. You don't have to serve a "sentence" the rest of your life. You can be set free by God's truth and fight the good fight of faith.

Greg, John, and Pat share about all the wonderful diversities that exist in the state of New Jersey from rural to city as well as the diversity among the peoples ethnicity. They also share some who have come to this country and have not wanted to assimilate or fully embrace the country but have tried to change it. Diversity is great and should be celebrated but we must never forget whether we are from the state of New Jersey or any other state in the United States of America that we are all Americans and as American citizens we need to uphold the Constitution of the United States, which is what truly makes us as a nation. Tracing back through genealogies are understandable but remember when we go back in our genealogy we may find some good and some bad and the great , great, great, great, Grandparents of us all is Adam and Eve who didn't do so great. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. As a believer it's not important for us to be lifted up but to lift up Jesus.

Ryan Wyatt shares about how, Bill Hybels, Pastor of Willow Creek, and his team before annually spending millions of dollars on programs they ask themselves are our programs doing what we think they should do? Are they truly raising up true disciples of Jesus Christ? Ryan continues to share how they invested money in a survey to their network to evaluate what they were doing. Upon receiving the report Ryan says Bill Hybels hung his head and began to weep because what they found out was that all they did was get people in the building but it had not created true disciples. Their findings are recorded in a book they wrote called Reveal Where are you? They said that what the programs have done is raise up people that are addicted to the programs. Ryan goes on to say that people are now picking what church they should attend as though they were shopping from a check list. Ryan goes on to share what is on the shopping list of a consumer, what he shares may surprise you. Greg shares that Jesus is not trying to make us comfortable in our sin. He instructs us to repent and be baptized. It's not as hard as religion has made it out to be and it's also not as frivolous as religion as made it out to be either. We alone must all answer to God and the most important thing is what we think about God.

In this moment of wisdom found in Proverbs 19:11, "A person's wisdom yields patience;

it is to one's glory to overlook an offense." Wisdom is God's proper application of knowledge. God gives us wisdom in order to have patience. Patience is being able to endure and go through trials without complaining. Offense is something that will happen and many don't even know that they are offending you. It's up to you to either allow the offense to stick to you like Velcro or to overlook it and let it go.

Greg, John, Pat, and Chris share several hilarious stories, at least to them, involving cockroaches. One of which was a story Greg shares when he was a deputy, law enforcement officer. He was called to a vacant house that was in probate with a report of something going on in the house. Greg shows up to the house; it has no electricity, it's dark and as he stands on the porch he sees the door is cracked open. Immediately he thinks that if someone is in the house he is going to flash his huge light blinding them to catch them by surprise. Well the surprise was on him. He opened the door to flash his flash light but he didn't see anyone there except 3 inch cockroaches everywhere. At once they flew all over him and he is covered in roaches. He has roaches crawling all over him, up his pant legs, through the sleeves of his shirt. Needless to say, he did a quick search of the house. Enjoy the rest of these stories as they share a light humor moment with the VFNRadio audience listeners.

Greg, John, and Pat share about Prime Minister Netanyau's appeal to America and the world. PM Netanyahu believes that Iran is only six months away from being capable to launch nuclear weapons against Israel. President Obama has already said that he cannot meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he comes to the United Nations on September 24, 2012. It is alleged he said that if Israel strikes Iran they are on their own. The President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's has already agreed with their supreme leader over Iran, Iman Khomeini, that Israel must be wiped off the map. If someone says they are going to wipe you out; you should take their threat seriously. We only have to look back to a few years back in history to see what Adolph Hitler did to the Jews during the Holocaust. Don't sit back, stand and pray for Israel.

Excerpt of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's, President of Iran speech titled "The World without Zionism"

"Our dear Imam said that the occupying regime must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise statement. We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine. Is it possible to create a new front in the heart of an old front? This would be a defeat and whoever accepts the legitimacy of this regime [Israel] has in fact, signed the defeat of the Islamic world. Our dear Imam targeted the heart of the world oppressor in his struggle, meaning the occupying regime. I have no doubt that the new wave that has started in Palestine, and we witness it in the Islamic world too, will eliminate this disgraceful stain from the Islamic world.
