No Middle Ground

| Where are we headed right now as a nation? | |
| Would you say overall as you travel around and you're on TV every day? | |
| I wrote in 1999, I published my master's thesis, and my premise today is the same, and that is there's no more middle ground. | |
| That America at the time was sort of muddled. | |
| Everyone could call themselves a Christian and live in sin at the same time. | |
| But now it's not that way. | |
| Now, the Christians are becoming more purified and holy. | |
| The anti-Christians are becoming more demonic. | |
| And there is no more middle ground in America. | |
| You're either with Jesus or you're against him. | |
| And we are seeing that in our politics. | |
| Everything is so divisive and divided. | |
| But I think it's a good thing in a way because Christ is purifying his bride. | |
| And his church is going to worship him in Jesus' name, even if we're punished. | |
| We are going to stand up. | |
| There's somebody out there that you may be thinking, what if the government came to me? | |
| And what if they threatened to take away my job or my pension or my career? | |
| What if I lost my house? | |
| What if I got an eviction notice like Dr. Chaps did with his wife? | |
| Would I be willing to take a stand for Jesus? | |
| And if that's you, if you're willing to stand for Christ no matter the cost, I want to offer to pray with you today. | |
| Would you, maybe someone at home and here in the studio, let's just pray. | |
| Amen. | |
| Father in heaven, we devote ourselves to you, and we ask you to be the Lord of lords and King of kings in our heart. | |
| Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and inspire me that even if the government comes after me with threats, even if I were to lose my job or my pension or my home, Jesus, I would stand for you because I want to keep my soul. | |
| And Jesus, you are worth more to me than everything else this world has to offer. | |
| And in eternity, I pray that you will reward those who stand with you. | |
| In Jesus' name, amen. | |
