Religious Freedom Archives - Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Today on Stand Up For The Truth, Host David Fiorazo brings us the latest concerning stories impacting our freedoms in America. In part 2 today’s podcast, we focus on Good Friday and historical facts of the resurrection as we approach the Easter Holiday. We remember the sacrifice that Christ made, and that He rose from the grave to make our Salvation possible.

LISTEN LIVE FROM 9 – 10 AM CST!

As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the road He said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and flog and crucify, and on the third day He will be raised up.” Matthew 20:17-19

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 1 Corinthians 15:3-7

News & Views today! And lots of it. There is so much going on, it can be difficult to know where to begin. We could fill three hours, but David will cover some of the major stories of interest to informed believers during this podcast.  Make no mistake: America cannot survive this onslaught of immorality and socialism. We cannot be sustained under these so-called ‘progressive,’ hyper-sexualized, leftist values.

Whoever receives one such child in My name, receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea. “Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks!  (Matthew 18:5-7)

“Those who support the secular “progressive, social justice” movement don’t want to make America better, they want to tear our country down and install secular totalitarianism. They hate God, they hate the Bible, they hate the Constitution, they hate America. The problem for them is, there are a whole lot of us out here, and we are not going to surrender our country without a fight.” Tim Wildmon, American Family Association

We get an update on her busy life and discuss her brand new book, WORDS FOR WARRIORS: Fight Back Against Crazy Socialists and the Toxic Liberal Left

After hearing all the hatred spewing from ideologues, mainstream media, social justice warriors, and political hacks, Sam Sorbo was fed up: “I’m tired of their games, so I’m calling BS on them. It’s time to set the record straight, especially for the folks who are just trying to enjoy the lives the Lord gave them and want a few things explained in easy-to-understand prose.”

Arranged in an accessible “A-Z” glossary style, readers can dip in to discover the real meanings behind the acronyms, words, and phrases that the toxic liberal left loves to force on the rest of us. From Ad hominem and covidiot to woke and zeitgeist, Words for Warriors is a treasure trove of linguistic gymnastics the Democrats and others employ to further their anti-American agenda.

Sam Sorbo encourages believers to resist the redefinition of God and truth, to fight back and not give up.

We discuss the difference between the courageous and cowardly, the battle between churches and government, the Equality Act, normalizing LGBT, ‘progressive’ Christianity, obeying God or man, and the responsibility of pastors to lead in these dark times.

Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give water to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life, without cost. 7 The one who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. 8 But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:6-8

QUOTES by Steve Smothermon from today’s podcast:

“What we are going to be seeing is a state church in America vs the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

“They can’t reproduce so they have to recruit.” – re: the LGBT agenda

TODAY’S GUEST: Pastor, teacher, former law enforcement officer, and best-selling author, Carl Gallups. Carl has been the senior pastor of Hickory Hammock Baptist Church in Milton, Florida since 1987. He has also been a conservative radio talk show host since 2002. He is the host of two shows – Ask the Preacher with Pastor Carl Gallups, and his flagship show Freedom Friday with Carl Gallups.

Brand new book from Carl Gallups: The Summoning: Preparing for the Coming Days of Noah

Is our world actually reeling toward the prescient days of Noah—those days of unparalleled global turmoil as foretold by Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke? Are we really on the brink of a universal shaking, as a number of today’s prophecy watchers are warning? You’ll find the answers to those questions and many others.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we first believed. 12 The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let’s rid ourselves of the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Romans 13:11-12

TODAY’S GUEST – Elizabeth Johnston is a bestselling author, speaker and activist who educates and inspires Christians on the social and moral issues of the day that are important to families. She has been in pro-life ministry for many years, and ‘home educates’ her 10 children.

The growing threat to America’s children and the vicious attacks on religious liberty are what propelled Elizabeth out of her comfort zone to rally belittled conservatives and Christians to “come out of their closets” and boldly take their country back.

We discuss the importance of Christians committing to fight in these times of increased spiritual warfare, big tech aligning with the left, and Biden administration policies hostile to the Word of God. Also, why are progressives so afraid of the free marketplace of ideas that they now censor those with whom they disagree.

NOT ON MY WATCH – News headlines point to a world that has gone stark-raving mad. Right is wrong, and wrong is right. Religious liberty is under attack. Gender identity and fluidity is not only accepted but encouraged. Same-sex marriage is embraced by many churches. Deviant sexual practices are taught in schools. “No more!” cries Elizabeth Johnston.

We discuss: threats to our First Amendment rights, how America is resembling George Orwell’s 1984 more and more as it seems truth and reason seem to have all but departed our society. What has taken the place of God and biblical morality? Godlessness and cultural Marxism. We look at some of the symptoms as well as blatant double standards in the news daily.

We discuss the fading common sense and lack of wisdom Americans are displaying in the face of the ‘Rona’ virus, as well as how the church has responded. We also address how moral relativism has led to the current gender surrender we are witnessing, confusing young children about biological sex. Deny God, depart from truth and anything goes!
