=== No Middle Ground (02:07) ===

[00:00:00]  Where are we headed right now as a nation?
[00:00:02]  Would you say overall as you travel around and you're on TV every day?
[00:00:09]  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.
[00:00:20]  That America at the time was sort of muddled.
[00:00:24]  Everyone could call themselves a Christian and live in sin at the same time.
[00:00:28]  But now it's not that way.
[00:00:29]  Now, the Christians are becoming more purified and holy.
[00:00:34]  The anti-Christians are becoming more demonic.
[00:00:36]  And there is no more middle ground in America.
[00:00:39]  You're either with Jesus or you're against him.
[00:00:42]  And we are seeing that in our politics.
[00:00:44]  Everything is so divisive and divided.
[00:00:47]  But I think it's a good thing in a way because Christ is purifying his bride.
[00:00:53]  And his church is going to worship him in Jesus' name, even if we're punished.
[00:00:58]  We are going to stand up.
[00:00:59]  There's somebody out there that you may be thinking, what if the government came to me?
[00:01:05]  And what if they threatened to take away my job or my pension or my career?
[00:01:11]  What if I lost my house?
[00:01:13]  What if I got an eviction notice like Dr. Chaps did with his wife?
[00:01:18]  Would I be willing to take a stand for Jesus?
[00:01:21]  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.
[00:01:28]  Would you, maybe someone at home and here in the studio, let's just pray.
[00:01:32]  Amen.
[00:01:33]  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.
[00:01:40]  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.
[00:01:55]  And Jesus, you are worth more to me than everything else this world has to offer.
[00:02:00]  And in eternity, I pray that you will reward those who stand with you.
[00:02:05]  In Jesus' name, amen.
