#762 The Mid-terms: The Family, Patriotism, and God---The Soul of a People

We can't separate ourselves from the culture, from the country.

Otherwise, you see what's happened.

The demonic really takes over.

You know, we didn't explode onto the stage of our lives in a neutral territory.

We think we did.

But that's why Jesus said in the book of Revelation, don't be lukewarm or I will spew you out.

He said, I'd rather have you hot or cold.

You know, if you're hot for me, boom.

I'm going to pull you through.

If you're cold, at least things will get so bad you may bounce off the bottom, right? And I'll be able to catch you and bring you back into the story.

No, it would have treated the last four years of the Biden-Kamala Harris administration as a floor.

Then they would have went on from there.

The border would be wide open with the same NGOs facilitating the open border policy that literally lost 350,000 unaccompanied children, many of them trafficked, we found out, for labor and sex.

They would have continued the democratic parole policy that let criminals go free to terrorize law-abiding citizens, allowed the fentanyl
