| This is Just Informed Talk Radio, where we are not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes. | |
| One thing, I don't know why. | |
| It doesn't even matter how hard you try. | |
| Keep that in mind. | |
| I designed this rhyme to explain it to time. | |
| All I know, time is a valuable thing. | |
| Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings. | |
| Watch it count down to the end of the day. | |
| The clock takes life when it is so unreal. | |
| We really didn't look out below. | |
| Watch the sun go right out the window. | |
| Trying to hold on, but you didn't even know. | |
| Wasted it all just to watch you go. | |
| I kept everything inside, and even though I tried... | |
| Welcome to another Just the Form Talk radio show. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James. | |
| Hope you guys had a wonderful Labor Day holiday weekend. | |
| I know I did. | |
| It was nice to recharge the batteries, get ready for a big, big set of shows as we continue to trudge along toward the 2024 presidential election. | |
| You know it's coming, but boy is it going to be a wild ride. | |
| And of course, here in Colorado, Uh, we're still making national headlines because Venezuelan gangs have taken over most of the suburbs of Denver. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Maybe a little bit of an exaggeration, but not really. | |
| Our decrepit, degenerate, feckless government here in Colorado has allowed, through the policy of sanctuary state status, a large cadre of Venezuelan gangsters to take over portions of the city of Aurora and other outliers of the Denver metropolitan area. | |
| That's something that's fun. | |
| You know, the stories we're hearing coming out of those places are awful. | |
| Obviously, we pray for all those people. | |
| The big story over the weekend, you know, there were all these rumors online that the Hells Angels motorcycle gang was coming here to save us from the Venezuelan gangsters. | |
| And I wasn't sure about that one when I heard it. | |
| I just thought, hmm, that's interesting. | |
| Seems like it was more overly one of those internet rumors that just got started spreading and then didn't stop. | |
| A lot of people were mocking it, saying, you know, oh, I've also heard, you know, you know, the Star Wars, the Imperial Guard is coming to save us. | |
| You know, they're sending F-16s, you know. | |
| I said, well, why don't they? | |
| I heard they're sending Roman legionnaires, right? | |
| You know, so it is something that is not funny, but it is rather interesting, I guess, when you look at it, where we're at, but... | |
| But if you want more of this, Colorado, then keep voting Democrat, you know? | |
| But again, everybody's, all these liberals in Boulder and Fort Collins and Denver, I mean, they're the ones destroying the state, really. | |
| The majority of the state is red. | |
| It's just those pockets where you have a bunch of people who either, A, you know, want the status quo. | |
| They want to live off the state and live off our taxpayer money. | |
| Or, B, there's the wealthy elites in the rich neighborhoods that, you know, their guilt because of their wealth means that they have to vote for Democrat policies because it makes them feel good. | |
| It's all virtuous, right? | |
| They're so virtuous because we're voting for the people who need everything and we have everything. | |
| So, you know... | |
| They fully understand that the system will work in a way that continues the status quo, right? | |
| They want the status quo to continue because they're the haves. | |
| And the have-nots like the status quo because they get from the government, off the government's teat, as they say. | |
| And, of course, the middle class are the ones who get screwed. | |
| We are the ones who end up, you know, taking the rough part of it there. | |
| But that's what's happening here. | |
| Um, it's not fun to know, but there's other stuff happening. | |
| I mean, uh, you know, a lot of people are breaking down how we've come to this place. | |
| And, and one person in particular I saw, I believe was, uh, Chris, no, no, Chris Williams. | |
| I think it was an interview by Chris Williams of Brett Weinstein. | |
| And he put it in such a very eloquent and, and, you know, intelligent way that I really have to. | |
| I really have to play this segment here. | |
| I want to play it because it does, in fact, explain exactly where we are and how we've gotten here and what they plan to do. | |
| Basically, it's an explanation for why and how our two-party system is operated. | |
| And it's a very valuable explanation. | |
| Let's listen. | |
| I said it was way too close to November to switch anybody out. | |
| Turns out that was wrong. | |
| Beginner's luck. | |
| You said, what are the odds that Joe Biden has a debilitating event between now and November including death, so he runs a 1 in 20 chance of dying in any given year or above, that I don't think you know whether he's even going to make it to November. | |
| Debilitating event could have been a debilitating public event. | |
| I purposely left it vague and I didn't say the other part of it, which I now feel comfortable saying, which is, I don't, I don't know whether, I don't know whether Donald Trump will be allowed to become president. | |
| What do you mean by that? | |
| I think that there's a remarkable story, and we're in a funny game, which is, are we allowed to say what that story is? | |
| Because to say it, to analyze it, to name it, is to bring it into view. | |
| I think we don't understand why the censorship is behaving the way it is. | |
| We don't understand why it's in the shadows. | |
| We don't understand why our news is acting in a bizarre fashion. | |
| So let's just set the stage, given that that was in February. | |
| There is something that I think Mike Benz has just referred to as the rules-based international order. | |
| It's an interlocking series of agreements, tacit understandings, explicit understandings, clandestine understandings about how the most important structures keep the world free of war and keep markets open. | |
| And there has been a system in place, whether understood explicitly or behind the scenes or implicitly, that says that the purpose of the two American parties is to prune the field of populist candidates so that whatever two candidates exist in a face-off are both acceptable to that world order. | |
| So what you're trying to do from the point of view, let's take it from the point of view of, let's say, the State Department, the intelligence community, the Defense Department, and major corporations that have to do with international issues from arms trade to, oh, I don't know, food. | |
| They have a series of agreements that are fragile and could be overturned if a president entered the Oval Office who didn't agree with them and the mood of the country was, why do we pay taxes into these structures? | |
| Why are we hamstrung? | |
| Why aren't we a free people? | |
| So what the two parties would do is they would run primaries. | |
| You have populist candidates and you'd pre-commit the populist candidates to support the candidates who won the primaries. | |
| As long as that took place and you had two candidates that were both acceptable to the international order, that is, they aren't going to rethink NAFTA or NATO or what have you. | |
| We called that democracy. | |
| All right, when we come back, I want to play The last part of this clip, uh, because that's just a little taste of it. | |
| And I think, you know, what Brett Weinstein's kind of explaining here is exactly the system of control, you know, the illusion of choice that they present us with every four years. | |
| Okay, well pick a team, red team or blue team. | |
| And Trump is a threat because he's taken over the red team and he's not in the club. | |
| I know a lot of people argue he is, but if he was in the club, trust me, they wouldn't be doing all this stuff to try to destroy him. | |
| Stay tuned, we're coming back. | |

| Now that we know that it's true, don't, don't you know the kind of man I am? | |
| No, said I'll never fall in love again, but it's real, and the feeling comes shining through. | |
| I'm so confident you, little girl, that I never did suspect that I'd be so proud. | |
| Welcome back to Just a Forum Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James, and we were listening to Brett Weinstein explain kind of the way that we're trapped in this illusion of choice system and what it's actually meant to do. | |
| And this is predicated off of what we listened to last week, which was Mike Benz's amazing explanation of the inner structure of the deep state, what it really is, what it represents, and what it does. | |
| And you talk about the interconnected nature of everything with regard to how the censorship continues to drive the machine that is the deep state and the bureaucracy, and that it's only going to get worse from here. | |
| But I want to finish Bret Weinstein's comments on this because I think they're very, very valuable. | |
| Listen to this. | |
| And so democracy was the illusion of choice, what's called magician's choice, where the choice is not actually, you know, pick a card, any card, but somehow the magician makes sure that the card that you pick is the one that he knows. | |
| In that situation, you have magician's choice in the primaries, and then you'd have the duopoly field two candidates, either of which was acceptable, and you could actually afford to hold an election. | |
| And the populace would vote, and that way the international order wasn't put at risk every four years, because you can't have alliances that are subject to the whim of the people in plebiscites. | |
| So under that structure, everything was going fine until 2016. | |
| And then the first candidate ever to not hold any position in the military nor position in government in the history of the Republic to enter the Oval Office, Donald Trump, broke through the primary structure. | |
| So then there was a full court press. | |
| Okay, we only have one candidate that's acceptable to the international order. | |
| Donald Trump will be under constant pressure that he's a loser. | |
| He's a wild man. | |
| He's an idiot. | |
| And, and he's under the control of the Russians, and then he was going to be, you know, a 20 to 1 underdog. | |
| And then he wins. | |
| And there was no precedent for this. | |
| They learned their lesson. | |
| You cannot afford to have candidates who are not acceptable to the international order and continue to have these alliances. | |
| This is an unsolved problem. | |
| So, I don't have a particular dog in this fight. | |
| I, one, believe in democracy. | |
| I also believe in international agreements. | |
| And it is the job of the State Department, the intelligence community, and the Defense Department to bring this problem in front of the American people and say, we have a problem, you don't know everything that's going on, and if you start voting in populist candidates, you're going to end up knocking out load-bearing walls that you don't understand. | |
| But Trump was in office for four years. | |
| Did he turn the entire table upside down? | |
| He risked doing that. | |
| Say more. | |
| You remember that there was this uncomfortable accommodation given to the Central Intelligence Agency at the beginning of his actual term. | |
| There was a question about was he going to question I have a very different point of view than most of my friends who are also, you know, at least nominally Democrats, which is it was a very immoral thing that was done to him. | |
| He was asked the question, will you pre-commit that you will accept the results of an election? | |
| Now, if you were going to rig an election, you would ask somebody that to begin with, and that's part of the game. | |
| And he says, well, you know, we'll see. | |
| So, you have this very strange thing going on, where democracy is the greatest threat to democracy. | |
| Now, how can that be? | |
| It's two different concepts of democracy. | |
| One concept of democracy is the will of the people you hold plebiscites, and even if you do it with an electoral college or political parties, the idea is that the people are by and of and for the people. | |
| The other idea of democracy is that democracy is about institutions that sprang from democracy once upon a time, and that those institutions have to be kept strong. | |
| Those are two completely different concepts that are overloaded to the same word. | |
| Under that circumstance, we have a paradox, which is how do we keep the electorate from overturning the type A democracy from overturning the type B democracy? | |
| And that's the unsolved problem that they will not bring in front of the people. | |
| So what you have is a situation in which I believe that there are many people in Washington, D.C. who think that Donald Trump cannot become president because he can now go for broke. | |
| He's also not going to try to run for re-election. | |
| He's relatively unconstrained. | |
| He's wealthy. | |
| He's learned how to play a lot of these games. | |
| And maybe got a little bit of an axe to grind as well after the last six years. | |
| No kidding. | |
| And he's a wild card. | |
| You know, there are three people who are doing amazing versions of the drunken boxing game. | |
| Kanye, who's probably the first one to really fail, Elon and Donald Trump. | |
| And all three of them tried to do something where you couldn't pin them down. | |
| You couldn't figure out like what they were going to do next. | |
| And that's what the order is. | |
| Keep keeps trying to do it. | |
| Like, will you commit to this? | |
| Will you say this? | |
| Will you mouth these words? | |
| And none of these people would play the game. | |
| I find this all, you ever see Emmanuel Augustus, this boxer who actually, you know, I think Floyd Mayweather said it was his toughest opponent because he just, he wouldn't fight in the style that anyone could recognize. | |
| Unpredictable. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And the most entertaining boxer I've ever seen in my life. | |
| I mean, just check out any highlight reel and you won't even believe this is real. | |
| It doesn't seem possible. | |
| So that's what Donald Trump is. | |
| He's a guy who's got formulas that confuse people like Sam Harris. | |
| You know, Sam and I have been debating this for years. | |
| I think that Trump is an incredibly intelligent man and that there's incredible method in his tweets of old. | |
| You can just, you could put them into a data set and you say that there are five or six different types of tweets and then the left falls for every one of them every time. | |
| So in this situation, you have a question. | |
| How is it? | |
| That Donald Trump and RFK Jr. | |
| cannot possibly reach the Oval Office, and we have to have a candidate who is pre-subscribed to perpetuating these institutions, these agreements, and these orders. | |
| And there's only one out of three who has that character, and that person is not one of primary. | |
| Right now, we have no idea who's running the United States of America. | |
| I just came here at Tesla, and I did not steer once. | |
| And I would say America is in full self-driving mode, and we don't know what the AI is that's running the Oval Office. | |
| And that's really bizarre, given that we have something like six minutes to make a decision about nuclear launches. | |
| We have no idea what the United States government in the executive branch actually is. | |
| But it can't be Joe Biden. | |
| Every time it seems that an election has happened over the last decade or so, it's always been, this one is different, this is the most important, this is the most important. | |
| Is there something different about the one that we're about to go into? | |
| How should we think about this election? | |
| As World War II unraveling, the order that has produced the illusion of peace for this length of time, imagine that you were let's say in the 2000s, that you had this thing called the Great Moderation. | |
| There was a story that we had finally banished volatility from the markets. | |
| None of that was true. | |
| What you were doing was you were going farther and farther into a regime without understanding that sooner or later the Jenga Tower has to collapse. | |
| The order that was put in place at the end of World War II, none of its architects are still alive. | |
| Very few pieces of information were passed down about what it actually is or how it functions because it's secret. | |
| I think what you can say is that we are now living on the fumes built from that victory. | |
| That is what is Unravel. | |
| You're about to head towards a multipolar world where the game theory in a dyadic game of two players doesn't look remotely like the game theory in a five or ten player game. | |
| So Kamala is essentially the youngest boomer possible, and she's tied to the last silent generation president we'll ever have, which was a bizarre thing to begin with. | |
| And she's pre-committed to trying to continue that order in the guise of a alternatively woke, Wall Street-friendly, Indian black Folksy, I don't even know what she is. | |
| To quote the great Chris Williamson, she's a meme of a meme of a meme. | |
| That was from our last talk. | |
| And I would say this is probably the most insane election we've ever seen by a comfortable margin. | |
| I would say that there's no one in second place. | |
| I can't think of another election that is even close to this bizarre, including the attempted assassination on Donald Trump. | |
| Yeah, there's so many things all coalescing at the same time. | |
| From what's happening with the media, to AI, to discontent, to fake news and cheap fakes, and construed, constructed... Did you... Sorry. | |
| Fake news was a fake story. | |
| If you look at the Google Trends, fake news was a tiny story during the 2016 cycle that blew up immediately afterwards. | |
| It was the placeholder. | |
| Well, I've got a surprise for you. | |
| or the blob figured out what it was going to do next to try to take control of the international order. | |
| You have to realize that that's the first real surprise in presidential history where they lost control of the process. | |
| Well, I've got a surprise for you. | |
| I told you not to watch this before we get to do this. | |
| I actually listened. | |
| Did you? | |
| I told you not to do it! | |
| I know, it's like pouring sugar on a picnic to keep ants away. | |
| Okay, okay. | |
| So, for the people who haven't seen it, we'll just do a quick recap. | |
| MSNBC was exposed today for yet another set of lies. | |
| They deceptively edited together this video of different Joe Rogan comments to make it appear that he was singing the praises of Kamala Harris. | |
| She's gonna win. | |
| No she's not. | |
| She can win. | |
| She is a strong woman. | |
| She is a person who served overseas twice in a medical unit. | |
| She was a congresswoman for eight years. | |
| Yeah. | |
| She is a person of color. | |
| She's everything you want. | |
| She's gonna win. | |
| No, she's not. | |
| She can win. | |
| They just want no Trump, no matter what. | |
| What do you make of that? | |
| That's the most brazen cutting together of something that millions of people have seen. | |
| They don't really... Whatever it is, is not really trying to fool you. | |
| It's trying to instruct you. | |
| You're allowed to see the truth. | |
| They can make it difficult to find the truth, but it's hard to shut up Joe Rogan. | |
| They've settled for something else, which is think about MSNBC and CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Reuters, AP, et cetera, as a set of instructions for how to keep your job. | |
| You're allowed to disagree. | |
| We'll set the boundaries of the disagreement. | |
| We'll set the topics of the disagreement. | |
| You may not even watch any of these things, but we'll make sure that it filters through to the people that you are watching so that they're outraged. | |
| And you're given a choice. | |
| You can choose to understand whatever you want, and you can choose to say whatever you want. | |
| But if you say what you understand to be true, you can know what the consequences are. | |
| You may lose your marriage. | |
| You may lose your job. | |
| You may lose your friends. | |
| And so in essence, we all know that if you question the war in Ukraine, or if you say, look, I detest Donald Trump, but I'm voting for him because what's going on in the Democratic Party is unholy and insane. | |
| You're signing up for whatever Thanksgiving dinner we have planned for you. | |
| We're talking to your uncle, we're talking to your spouse. | |
| And in essence, this is a lot like Caligula installing his horse as a senator. | |
| No one's fooled that the horse is an ordinary human senator. | |
| Wow. | |
| That, I mean, I've heard it explained a number of ways, but that was one of the clearest and most succinct ways of understanding the illusion of choice that we're given. | |
| And then, the scary part is, though, to me, is that the end of what he was saying there, where he talked about how, you know, they don't care that we know the truth. | |
| They are instructing the masses on how to make our lives a living hell if we don't comply or if we don't at least back down from their control system. | |
| Right? | |
| It's an instruction manual. | |
| It doesn't matter if you know that the news is incorrect and untrue and fake. | |
| The point is not to convince you that it's true. | |
| The point is to tell you This is what you should think, and if you don't, here are the consequences. | |
| Right? | |
| I mean, I don't know how we got here, folks, but God help us. | |
| I truly mean that. | |
| We need the Lord above to intervene in this situation. | |
| And with that in mind, when we come back, I'm going to take some time and put on another sermon from Pastor Dean Miller at Front Range Baptist Church here in Fort Collins, Colorado. | |
| We need to hear it. | |
| It's a good one. | |
| Going all in for Christ, alright? | |
| That's what we gotta do. | |
| That's how we overcome this, folks. | |
| So, stay tuned. | |
| We're coming right back. | |
| We're coming right back. | |
| At Warriors Revolution, we have the largest selection of tactical gear and ammo in Northern Colorado. | |

| Welcome back to Just a Forum Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host Craig James. | |
| You know, we're going to play that sermon from Pastor Dean Miller about being all in for Christ here in just a minute. | |
| But in the interest of kind of continuing the conversation we heard earlier, I just want to give you an idea of how they view us, right? | |
| And when I say they, obviously, I mean the institutions, the democratic institutions, which supersede our individual liberties and rights because, you know, obviously they're more important. | |
| This is how they look at us. | |
| I mean, this was Kamala Harris on free speech. | |
| Listen to this. | |
| He has lost his privileges and it should be taken down. | |
| And the bottom line is that you can't say that you have one rule for Facebook and you have a different rule for Twitter. | |
| The same rule has to apply, which is that there has to be a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites to understand their power. | |
| They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation. | |
| And that has to stop. | |
| They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without oversight or regulation. | |
| I mean, like the First Amendment? | |
| Wow. | |
| These people are tyrants. | |
| They are complete and total tyrants. | |
| And it should surprise nobody how we've gotten here. | |
| But Kash Patel thinks that there's going to be a blackout attack on our power infrastructure that will happen before the election. | |
| He compares it to what we saw in Paris during the Olympics and basically says that was a test run. | |
| If you'll recall, there was a point during the Olympics in Paris where the entire city went into a full blackout. | |
| And it should surprise no one that that's something of that magnitude is what they have planned. | |
| So I would prepare accordingly however you can for an event where you don't have electricity and you may not have the access to food and other necessities. | |
| Make sure you have that stuff on hand because these people are psychopaths and if we put it all together The only thing that's obvious is that they are willing to do anything to make sure that we are not able to choose who we want running the show. | |
| And especially no one, especially not someone who is a threat to their system, their international rules-based order that they commonly refer to as the New World Order. | |
| Yeah, so... | |
| That is definitely something to look at. | |
| And I guess with that, I want to go and play this sermon because look, we can talk all day about politics. | |
| We'll get into more tomorrow. | |
| But today I want to give you guys this. | |
| Being all in for Christ, Pastor Dean Miller, Front Range Baptist Church in Fort Collins, Colorado. | |
| Let's listen. | |
| You may be seated. | |
| Be finding in your Bible this morning, Colossians chapter 1. | |
| I want to invite you to go by the table of where our connection groups are and all of our small groups are there. | |
| Make sure that you find a place to land and be in one of our groups, a place that you can belong and connect in the church family. | |
| And stop by and pick up a prayer card from the Granger family. | |
| It's good to have some friends of ours today, Mike and Tracy Willard over here. | |
| Raise your hand there, Mike. | |
| They are in members of my brother's church working there with him. | |
| And so pray for them. | |
| That's a mission filled to be with my brother. | |
| I'm glad they're here today because they're going to get to hear some preaching. | |
| But some good preaching. | |
| I mean, they hear preaching, but they get to hear good preaching today from the smarter brother, okay? | |
| No, I'm just kidding. | |
| I love my brother Matt. | |
| He's seven years older than me, and he looks it, but he... | |
| Has always been a good example and a good testimony to me. | |
| I thank the Lord. | |
| Mike and I, years ago, went to college together and we had all kinds of things in common. | |
| So if you want to know some stories about young Dean Miller, go talk to Mike and Tracy. | |
| They will fill you in. | |
| I can promise you that. | |
| You know what? | |
| There's going to be a beeline to you after the service. | |
| I know that. | |
| We're in the book of Colossians today, Colossians chapter 1, and I didn't write the Bible, and I'm not clever enough to figure out how to manipulate the Bible. | |
| We just preach the Bible. | |
| Amen? | |
| But the Bible is a living book. | |
| And it is alive. | |
| And I couldn't manipulate this text. | |
| But how did we ever know that this would be the text that we would be in starting our Missions Emphasis Month? | |
| But the Bible is a living book. | |
| And God knew that when He wrote it. | |
| Forever in Heaven, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in Heaven. | |
| And so here we are at our passage of Scripture today as we kick off Missions Month. | |
| And I want to tell you, just buckle your seatbelt. | |
| Because this passage of Scripture gets really, really personal. | |
| If you just thought you were going to come to church and observe today, you thought wrong. | |
| You're going to come to church, and the Bible's going to be open, and God's going to talk to you through this Word today. | |
| Watch this first chapter of Colossians, verse 23. | |
| If you continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, Which ye have heard. | |
| Now let's just pause for just a minute and just think about that. | |
| The hope of the gospel that you have heard. | |
| How did you hear it? | |
| There are 8 billion people on this planet. | |
| Estimated somewhere around 60 to 80 billion people have lived on planet Earth since the beginning. | |
| And yet, out of all these people in the world, you've heard the gospel. | |
| It came to you. | |
| Churches today argue about the return of Jesus Christ. | |
| People talk about, well, is he going to come before the tribulation? | |
| Is he going to come in the middle of the tribulation? | |
| Is he come at the end of the tribulation? | |
| And people argue all things about the second coming of Christ. | |
| I heard a missionary one day wisely stand up in a church like that, and he said, you have no right to argue the second coming of Christ until the rest of the world has heard about his first coming. | |
| The gospel came to us. | |
| How in the world did we have the privilege of hearing the Gospel and being saved, and we sit in a church today with a Bible in our hand, and we know Him, and He knows us, and our sins are forgiven? | |
| You heard that! | |
| Who are you? | |
| Who am I? | |
| Why wasn't I born somewhere in the world where the Gospel has never been? | |
| Paul's writing to the Church of Colossae and said, you understand, Paul never visited Colossae, but the Gospel did. | |
| Paul said, you've heard it. | |
| Look what he says. | |
| He says, And which is preached to every creature which is under heaven. | |
| And that's the scope of the Gospel. | |
| It's for everybody. | |
| It's for everybody. | |
| The work of the Gospel is not finished until everyone has heard the Gospel. | |
| Now listen, I can't do anything about the generation that came before us. | |
| I can't do anything about that generation. | |
| I cannot do anything about the generation that's coming after us. | |
| But I can tell you something, right now, in this generation, I can declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ to as many people as I can. | |
| And to all creatures, Paul said, verse 23, whereof I, Paul, am made a minister, who now rejoice in my sufferings. | |
| For you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for his body's sake, which is the church, whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which is given to me for you, to fulfill the Word of God. | |
| Even the mystery, which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints. | |
| to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory, whom we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus, whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, All right, we're going to take a break. | |
| We're going to come right back. | |
| We're going to join again Pastor Dean Miller, Front Range Baptist Church here in Fort Collins, Colorado, for his sermon on going all in for Christ. | |
| So you're going to want to hear that. | |
| So stay tuned. | |

| Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James, and we're going right back to Pastor Dean Miller's sermon on going all in for Christ. | |
| Paul's saying, I'm a minister. | |
| Every man. | |
| The whole world. | |
| Every man. | |
| I'm a minister. | |
| And I'm working and laboring for every man. | |
| You know what Paul was saying here? | |
| You know what this passage of Scripture means? | |
| It just is simply this. | |
| Paul's saying this. | |
| Paul says, I'm all in. | |
| In fact, let's all say that together. | |
| Paul's saying what? | |
| He's saying, I'm all in. | |
| I'm all in. | |
| You know, somebody comes and makes an offer to you. | |
| They come and tell you about some kind of deal. | |
| There's a couple of responses that you can have to that. | |
| Number one, you can say, no, I'm not interested in Bitcoin or whatever. | |
| Or whatever the deal is that they're making. | |
| Or you can say this, you can say, okay, well, what's in it for me? | |
| What do I get out of that? | |
| Or if they present it right and you look at it, you say, man, I'm all in. | |
| Take all my money. | |
| I'm all in, man. | |
| I'm giving everything I got for this. | |
| I believe in this. | |
| I'm all in. | |
| Now, you know, let me just tell you something. | |
| Paul was writing to the Church of Colossae. | |
| He's writing from prison in Rome. | |
| They have been infected by false teachers, the Gnostics and the Judaizers, these two factions warring in this church. | |
| Paul is trying to re-center this church on its focus for Christ. | |
| Stay on target! | |
| Our target is Christ. | |
| He has preeminence. | |
| It's Him that we follow. | |
| He is our life. | |
| Christ is all in all. | |
| He's the Creator. | |
| He's the Redeemer. | |
| He's the Forgiver. | |
| He's the Savior. | |
| He's all in all. | |
| You can never go beyond Christ. | |
| You can grow deeper in Christ, but you cannot go beyond Christ. | |
| Christ is all in all. | |
| It's all Him. | |
| It's all Jesus. | |
| Focus on Christ. | |
| That's what He's saying. | |
| And Paul was writing to them and he gets to this passage of Scripture and he sees, listen, he's just written about things, watch this, he's written about things about knowing the mind and will of God. | |
| He's written about things about being forgiven by the blood of Christ, forgiveness of all of our sins. | |
| He's written about redemption, that God has brought us back. | |
| He has written about reconciliation, that God has made us sons. | |
| We were enemies and now we're children. | |
| We were against Him and now we're at His table. | |
| And Paul's writing about all these things that we got. | |
| And Paul said, I'm all in. | |
| If that's the deal, I'm all in. | |
| Now I wonder today, if you're all in. | |
| You know, many people in churches today, in the American church, we come and sit down in churches and we just say, you know, what's in it for me? | |
| What do I get out of this deal? | |
| What do I get out of being a part of that church? | |
| And we get this idea that we become consumers. | |
| And we shop for churches like we shop for deals at the store. | |
| You know, we take church membership like being a membership at Costco or Sam's. | |
| You know, what's my member deal? | |
| And people just come to church and, you know, what's in it for me? | |
| And they look through the church. | |
| You know, what kind of children's program do they have? | |
| And we have a good one. | |
| Oh, what kind of youth program do they have there? | |
| Oh, we have a good one. | |
| Oh, what kind of music? | |
| Are they drums or no drums? | |
| What kind of music do they sing? | |
| Do I like that music? | |
| Does it really vibe with me? | |
| Is it my vibe? | |
| And we just kind of have this checklist. | |
| What's in it for me? | |
| And we'll go when it's convenient. | |
| You know, we'll go to the church when it's convenient for us. | |
| I mean, if the Broncos are playing on the East Coast and they have a 10-30 kickoff, we might not be there. | |
| We got to see that. | |
| If Little League is playing, we got to be for that. | |
| You know, we just kind of have this take it or leave it. | |
| You know, we live in Colorado, so if the weather's really nice, we might not go to church. | |
| We're going to go to the mountains. | |
| We also have the ability to say, if the weather's really bad, we're not going to go. | |
| And we just, you know, it's just, what's in it for me? | |
| Paul said, are you kidding me? | |
| I mean, this is the deal that I get? | |
| I'm all in. | |
| I'm all in. | |
| And Paul said, I'm in for two things. | |
| Number one, I want you to see it. | |
| Paul said, and first of all, Paul said, I became a minister. | |
| I became a minister. | |
| Now let me just throw everybody off track for just a minute, okay? | |
| Because you're a minister. | |
| And you say, well, no, Pastor, Pastor, you're the minister. | |
| Paul's the minister. | |
| You know, you guys, you wear your little monkey suit, you put your tie on and you come to church and you say nice things and lead us in prayers and you're the minister. | |
| I mean, you're the minister. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| You're the minister. | |
| The word minister in the Old English here is the Greek word diakonos. | |
| Diakonos is where we get our word deacon. | |
| And I want to just tell you, there are two really bad portrayals of what a minister is supposed to be. | |
| Me, and the deacons. | |
| Alright? | |
| You look at us and you think, well wait a minute, is that what a minister is supposed to be? | |
| I mean, the pastor gets up and tells all of us what to do, the deacons go in a room and tells him what to do. | |
| Is that what a minister is? | |
| No, no, no. | |
| The word diakonos is the word minister, but it's the word servant. | |
| In fact, let me just put it right down where we live in America. | |
| Let me tell you what the word is in our world today. | |
| It's the word slave. | |
| Paul said, I made a slave for that. | |
| You say, wait a minute. | |
| I don't know if I want to go that far. | |
| Oh, Jesus did. | |
| In Matthew chapter 20 and verse 28, the Bible says that the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto. | |
| He didn't come here to form His own servants and His own slaves. | |
| He didn't come here to be ministered unto, diakonos. | |
| He came to make Himself a minister and to give His life a ransom for many. | |
| Listen to me, Jesus came here to be our servant. | |
| Paul was saying, when I see the whole scope of what God is talking about, I'm all in on that. | |
| I'm a servant. | |
| See, the word slave in the Bible, slavery there was what they called the bond slave. | |
| A bond slave is somebody who owed somebody else a bunch of money and you didn't have the ability to pay it back. | |
| So a judge ordered you to go into their care and work for that person. | |
| And you had to work your debt off. | |
| You became their slave. | |
| That's Onesimus from Colossae. | |
| Onesimus ran away from Philemon and Paul met him in prison. | |
| Onesimus was a runaway slave and Paul introduced him to the gospel. | |
| Onesimus was a man who owed Philemon money and had been ordered into his bond to work off his debt. | |
| Listen to me. | |
| And Paul said, that's what I am to Jesus. | |
| I'm in his debt. | |
| So Paul said, Paul said, there's two things that I became a minister or slave of. | |
| Number one was the cross. | |
| Look at it in verse 24. | |
| All right. | |
| We're going to come right back. | |

| I think it's time we stop. | |
| Children, what's that sound? | |
| Everybody look what's going down Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio. | |
| We're going right back to Pastor Dean Miller and his sermon about going all in for Christ. | |
| This is Front Range Baptist Church here in Fort Collins, Colorado. | |
| Let's listen. | |
| He said, in verse 24, Paul says, "...who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ." Did you see that? | |
| Paul said, I rejoice to suffer, because this is part of how I fill up what I am behind in, in the afflictions of Christ. | |
| I'm gonna explain what that means in just a minute, but Paul said, and by the way, you don't see this attitude in the modern American church, where somebody could say, rejoice and suffer in the same breath. | |
| I rejoice in my sufferings. | |
| I mean, if you were to see Paul right now, he's in prison. | |
| If Paul were to take his shirt off in that prison cell, everybody look at me right now, if Paul were to take his shirt off in that prison cell, His back and his side and his body was a mosaic of scars and lashes made by the Roman scourgings. | |
| This is the man who was stoned to death at Lystra. | |
| Literally his face beaten and his brains beaten out at Lystra. | |
| And somehow God raised him up and he went back into that city and preached the gospel. | |
| If Paul were to remove his cloak, we would have to cover our eyes from the hideousness of the scars from the shackles and the stripes that he bore. | |
| He was whipped everywhere he went. | |
| Paul didn't go to a city and go check out the Hilton and say, I want a king-size suite. | |
| Paul went and looked at the jail to see what kind of conditions he would be sleeping in that night. | |
| Because Paul said, he suffered for me the afflictions of Christ, and I'm behind on that, so I'm gonna fill up what I owe, I'm gonna give it all, I'm all in! | |
| Paul said it this way to the church of Philippi, that I may know Him, and the fellowship of His sufferings. | |
| That I may know Him, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death. | |
| Now you don't hear that message in the modern day church. | |
| Oh, no, no, no. | |
| The modern day church is, let me tell you what God's done to make your life better. | |
| Hey, you young people, listen to me. | |
| You're going to hear in this whole world today, you know, God will, you know, come to Jesus and this is the way to wealth and health and happiness. | |
| Let me tell you, there's nothing like knowing Jesus and the joy of Jesus. | |
| But I want to tell you something, there's suffering in that life. | |
| There's suffering in that life. | |
| There's difficulties in that life. | |
| We as an American Church, we have this idea. | |
| We just come and offer me a deal. | |
| Tell me what the deal is and I'll see if there's something in it for me that I'm in. | |
| Paul said, not me, I'm all in. | |
| See, Paul had just pinned some things that came to him through the afflictions of Christ. | |
| Through that Christ, he wrote that I have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of my sins. | |
| I've been bought back. | |
| I've been forgiven. | |
| I've been made a son. | |
| I've been reconciled. | |
| I can know the creator God, the same God who created this universe and holds it all together. | |
| It's the same God that provided me salvation and gives me new life and made me a new creature. | |
| I got all of that through his sufferings. | |
| If he could go to the cross and bear all of my sin and all of my afflictions and all of my burdens and he could die for me and he could drink every drop of the wrath of God and he could do all that for me. | |
| I'm all in for him. | |
| There's no suffering too much for me. | |
| All of it. | |
| All right. | |
| We're going to take a quick break. | |
| We're going to come back. | |
| We're going to listen to the rest of Pastor Dean Miller's sermon going on for Christ Front Range Baptist Church in Fort Collins, Colorado. | |
| The services are on Sunday at 9 30 and 11 if you want to come in person, but stay tuned. | |

| In John 6, verse 40, he says, For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him should have eternal life. | |
| And I will raise him up on the last day. | |
| God does have a plan, and at the root of it is His desire to have a deeper relationship with each one of us. | |

| Now, we're going to keep going, listening to Pastor Dean Miller and his sermon about going all in for Jesus Christ. | |
| Listen to this. | |
| Paul was rejoicing. | |
| He said, I rejoice that I have been counted worthy to suffer for his name. | |
| Now, what did Paul mean when he said, fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ? | |
| The Catholic Church and many of our modern day denominational churches have made that to mean that the afflictions of Christ, and they will say this, Many of your mainline denominational churches will say this, that the afflictions of Christ, though they were good, they were not enough. | |
| That Christ got us most of the way there, but we need Mary to pray for us. | |
| We need the work of the saints to pray for us. | |
| We need to do other good works to help get the ball across the finish line, because the afflictions of Christ were not sufficient. | |
| That's not what that means at all. | |
| Listen to me, Jesus paid it all, so what does it mean to fill up that which is behind in the afflictions of Christ for His body? | |
| To understand that, we have to go back to the beginning of Paul's conversion when he was on the Damascus Road. | |
| Paul was marching down that road, headed to Damascus to go bring people to prison who were Christians. | |
| And he had a confrontation with Jesus. | |
| Jesus met Paul and arrested him. | |
| And Jesus' words to Paul that day were this, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? | |
| Jesus didn't say, why do you persecute them? | |
| Or why are you harming them? | |
| No, no. | |
| He said, why are you doing this to me? | |
| And Paul had to be arrested with this thought. | |
| That Christians were not just people who were following some religion. | |
| Paul had been a Jew. | |
| Paul had this idea of Judaism that Jehovah was up there. | |
| He was the one behind the veil. | |
| He was the one that only the priests could go in before. | |
| Listen to me, young people. | |
| Paul had this idea that it was only Jesus, that only the priest that could go behind that veil. | |
| And that if I were to be a good practicing Jew, I had to wear my yarmulke and I had to keep a separation between me and God. | |
| God was unapproachable. | |
| But all of a sudden, he's now confronted with the fact that these Christians, he's not just persecuting them, he's persecuting Christ. | |
| Because Christ is in them. | |
| And what Jesus was saying is that when you put your hands on them, you put your hands on me. | |
| When you bind them to the stake and you burn their bodies, you're doing that to me. | |
| When you release the lions on them and the lions roar, you're doing that to me. | |
| I'm in that arena with them. | |
| I'm in that furnace with them. | |
| I'm in that fire with them. | |
| Hey, I want to say something to you today. | |
| The Christian life is not following a religion, or following a code of conduct, or following some rules. | |
| The Christian life is Christ in us, the hope of glory. | |
| He lives in us! | |
| And there's not a believer in this room that goes through any affliction, but what Christ doesn't go through that with you. | |
| And what Paul was saying here was this, I am suffering with Christ. | |
| But I'll never suffer like He suffered for me. | |
| I'm behind in that. | |
| I'm catching up. | |
| I'm trying to be a fellowship of His suffering. | |
| I'm trying to give all I've got for His suffering. | |
| I want to suffer like He suffered. | |
| And I want to give all like He gave all. | |
| Paul said, I'm all in. | |
| I've seen his cross and I'm all in. | |
| Paul was suffering for the gospel sake. | |
| Paul said, not only did I suffer for the cross, number one, he said, I'm all in for the cross. | |
| But number two, watch this, listen to me. | |
| Paul said, number two, I'm all in for the church. | |
| I'm all in for the church. | |
| Look what he said in verse number 25. | |
| He said, speaking of Christ and His church, in verse 24, he says in verse 25, whereof, speaking of the church, I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you to fulfill the Word of God, even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to His saints. | |
| And what's Paul saying? | |
| Paul is simply saying this. | |
| Paul said, I'm all in for the church. | |
| Some people say, well, what is the church, Paul? | |
| He said, I'm all in for this thing that is a mystery. | |
| Now, there are mysteries in the Bible. | |
| The mystery of the kingdom of heaven. | |
| There are certain things, the mystery of the return of Christ. | |
| What are these mysteries? | |
| They're not like what we think of a mystery. | |
| The other day my wife and I were driving to Montana for a funeral and we were heading up there and my wife likes to listen to these mystery things. | |
| Date line and all that kind of stuff. | |
| And to me that's all kind of morbid, you know? | |
| So I wasn't feeling well, she was driving and I was sleeping and I woke up and her Dateline podcast, I just heard the person say, so when you told the undercover officer to inject her heart with potassium so that she would have a heart attack and it would be undetectable, that was not you wanting her to die? | |
| And the guy said, oh yeah, I guess it was. | |
| And that's what I woke up to. | |
| And I wasn't necessarily as disturbed about that as I was that my wife was taking notes. | |
| And at the next stop, she just started buying a bunch of bananas. | |
| I'm thinking, wait a minute. | |
| What are we doing here? | |
| I mean, this is the mystery, right? | |
| But this is not that kind of mystery. | |
| The mystery of God, let me tell you what a mystery is in the Bible. | |
| A mystery in the Bible is a holy secret. | |
| It's something that God has concealed in one place, but revealed in another place. | |
| Paul talks about this word dispensation. | |
| God now has given this. | |
| He has now revealed this mystery. | |
| The Bible says in Ephesians chapter 3 that the church was a mystery of God that God hid in His bosom from the beginning of time. | |
| The church was not God's second plan. | |
| It wasn't a plan B because Jesus died. | |
| It wasn't God's afterthought. | |
| It was always God's intention of this church. | |
| And God kept it in close and He masked it. | |
| Now you can see little snippets of it in types and in symbols. | |
| You can see the formation of the church and the creation of Eve taken from the side of the husband, created from a wound in the side. | |
| You can see the formation of the church created through the wound of Christ. | |
| You can see the purchasing of that church when you see Isaac and Rebecca coming together. | |
| You can see the future of that church through Joseph and his wife in the book of Genesis. | |
| And there's all kinds of ways that you can see the church in types and symbols now that we know what it is. | |
| But up until this point, it had been hidden from everyone. | |
| But Paul tells us in Ephesians chapter 3, that in the fullness of time, when Jesus died and rose again, that God revealed the mystery of the church. | |
| And what had been concealed, God revealed. | |
| How that God's plan was to bring His Son into the world, to shed His blood, to die for the sins of the whole world. | |
| And that God was going to save a people out of every tribe and every kindred and every tongue and every nation. | |
| And everywhere around this world, God was going to save people. | |
| And he was going to tear down the walls of partition. | |
| So that Jews and Gentiles and barbarians and Greeks and all of these people from races and nationalities and tongues from around the world would be now one people in one body. | |
| Baptized by one spirit into one salvation with one truth and one gospel to go share with every man. | |
| This is the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. | |
| And in that church, that hodgepodge of people who've been called out of their tribes and their idolatry and their barbarianism, Who've been enlightened with the Gospel, who've come to Christ, and now they've received the glorious Gospel. | |
| God has deposited to them the truth of His Gospel and said, go, take it around the world. | |
| I want to tell you right now what a mystery that God revealed in the revelation of the Church. | |
| And Paul saw this thing of the church. | |
| Listen, let me tell you something. | |
| They began to multiply. | |
| Jesus called them out of tax collectors and fishermen and zealots. | |
| And he had this little ragbag band of men. | |
| And that little ragbag band of men began to follow Christ. | |
| And after his resurrection, they got filled with the Spirit of God. | |
| they begin to pray and people begin to get saved. | |
| And all of a sudden there were 120 of them. | |
| And the next day there were 3,120 of them. | |
| And in the next chapter there were 8,120 of them. | |
| And then they begin to multiply 16,000, 32,000, 64,000. | |
| The Bible says, and then they were daily added to the church, such as should be saved. | |
| Josephus, the historian, writes down that by the time you get to Acts chapter 8, the first church of Jerusalem had 100,000 members in it. | |
| That's the standard. | |
| 9-11, the Podesta emails, Epstein Island, Hunter's Laptop, the 2020 stolen election. | |
| What truths are they hiding? | |

| We had to take a quick break there. | |
| We're coming back and going right back to Pastor Dean Miller and his sermon titled, Going All In for Jesus. | |
| And they would gather together in Solomon's porch at the temple. | |
| Can you see them? | |
| Can you see these Jews who were trying to follow their Jewish ways at the temple? | |
| But they had the court of the Gentiles. | |
| And this church would take it over. | |
| And tens of thousands of people would gather. | |
| And they would sing psalms and spiritual songs. | |
| And the apostles would preach. | |
| And the people would praise. | |
| And they would go out and tell others about Christ. | |
| And they would baptize them in the mixpas, those cleansing pools around the temple. | |
| They would baptize them there. | |
| And they would be added to the church. | |
| And I mean, you're talking about a church It began to turn and shake Jerusalem, fill Jerusalem with this doctrine, till the drugs steven out, and they stoned him. | |
| And from that persecution, those little embers of that fire began to spread. | |
| Cappadocia, Asia, Bithynia, all the way over to modern-day Turkey, and out there into the regions beyond in Macedonia. | |
| And these embers of the revival went, and churches flourished and began to start. | |
| And all of a sudden, this little ragtag band of people, just people like you and me, that got saved, The Bible says these are they that turned the world upside down. | |
| This is the mystery of the church. | |
| And when Paul said that, he saw that, he said, I'm all in for that. | |
| You know, Christians, we get all in for the wrong things. | |
| I'm going to preach a message here in October, God willing. | |
| On Pilgrims in Politics, we're going to take a pause from Colossians and we're going to preach about what we should do in all this political stuff as it ramps up towards November, towards the election, if we have an election. | |
| Who knows? | |
| Might have some kind of new weird disease in the world. | |
| We're gonna preach about that, but you know, I see Christians get so worked up. | |
| We gotta work, work, work, work, work, we give, give, give, give, give, give, donate, donate, donate, donate, donate, campaign, campaign, campaign, to get that man in that house for four years. | |
| And yet a Christian will never walk across the street to get that man in that house forever. | |
| We'll give everything we've got. | |
| and And the politicians live off of our giving and they live off of our donations and they call themselves saints because they think they're going to save the world. | |
| Let me tell you something. | |
| All Christians are doing today is we're rearranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic. | |
| And we're making hell a better place, making earth a better place to go to hell from. | |
| Instead of bringing people to Christ. | |
| But what are we living for? | |
| Paul said that mystery, that thing that God had concealed, this thing that God had been bringing up, that in Ephesians chapter 3, He finally unrolled it, He unveiled it, and here the church takes center stage in all the plan of God. | |
| Listen, the Bible says, That that mystery of the church became the center focus of all the spirits, the angelic beings in heaven, and the fallen spirits who refuse heaven. | |
| And he says, in that church is known all the wisdom of God. | |
| The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is bringing praise to Him, to the angels in heaven, and bringing agony and tyranny to those who have followed Satan. | |
| The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the center stage of all that God is doing in this world. | |
| And most Christians are just, you know, we might go Sunday. | |
| Maybe. | |
| Ho hum. | |
| We have a take-it-or-leave-it attitude with the church. | |
| Jesus didn't. | |
| He shed His rich, red, royal blood for it. | |
| I get up and talk about things like tithing, or giving to missions, and people say, well, wait a minute. | |
| I mean, I give a little bit when I come to church. | |
| I mean, yeah, you're a tipper. | |
| Just give God a tip, because what did I get from it? | |
| Man, I really enjoyed the service today, so I give God a tip. | |
| Instead of giving God what is rightfully His. | |
| Amen? | |
| And this is the point today. | |
| We just have this flippant, take-it-or-leave-it attitude with the church. | |
| We'll go when we feel like it. | |
| We'll not go when we don't feel like it. | |
| But boy, that church better be there when I need them. | |
| You know, when I'm having surgery, they better make me a meal train. | |
| Let me just go on record and say this today. | |
| If you're not an active giver in the church, somebody else is paying for a church for your children to have. | |
| Think about that. | |
| Paul didn't have this idea, let somebody else do it and I'll just enjoy the benefits. | |
| He didn't say what's in it for me. | |
| He said, I'm all in. | |
| I'm a minister. | |
| I'm a servant. | |
| I'm a bond servant. | |
| He said, Pastor, I really wanted to come and get uplifted today. | |
| Well, let me lift you up to being what God has called you to be as a member of His body. | |
| It can't be, you don't get much better than being a somebody in his body. | |
| The fact that Jesus Christ came into this world and he came and started this church, this holy secret place. | |
| Paul said, I'm all in for that. | |
| And he said, I'm all in for the message of that church. | |
| Look at verse 27. | |
| We're almost done. | |
| I'm wrapping up. | |
| He said in verse 27, "...to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." You know what the message of the church is? | |
| The message of the church is you can know Jesus Christ personally, you can be born again, and the same God who took on a robe of flesh and was born at Bethlehem, that died on that cross, that rose again from the dead, that ascended back to heaven, That's the message of the church. | |
| and live in you through his Holy Spirit and Christ can dwell in you and you can be a temple of Jesus Christ. | |
| You don't have to follow the code or follow the creed. | |
| You can be dwelt in by Christ. | |
| You are a temple of the living God. | |
| That's the message of the church. | |
| Christ in you. | |
| Not just you in the church, but Christ in you. | |
| You're a member of His body. | |
| That He gave Himself for me, that He gave Himself to me, that He came to live in me, to live His life through me. | |
| You don't get any better than that. | |
| Christ in me, for me, to me, through me. | |
| He died on that cross as me, and then He came to live in me to make me as He is. | |
| The glory of the gospel is that I, a sinner, a wicked sinner, doomed for hell, condemned in the wrath of God for my sin, Jesus came and delivered me and put His Spirit in me to transform me into His image so that God can look at an old sinner and say, my beloved son, you look like Jesus to me. | |
| Think about that! | |
| And we heard it. | |
| You got it! | |
| No wonder God hates lukewarmness. | |
| You know what lukewarmness is? | |
| Lukewarmness is having all of that and saying, yep, but it doesn't really interest me. | |
| That's the lukewarm church. | |
| Yeah, I'm saved, but what's in it for me? | |
| Forgiveness? | |
| Redemption? | |
| Reconciliation? | |
| Heaven? | |
| And Paul said, I'm all in for that. | |
| Paul was all in for its mission. | |
| The mission of the church. | |
| Verse 28, whom we preach, warning every man, teaching every man in all wisdom that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. | |
| What is the mission of the church? | |
| The mission of the church is to preach the gospel to everybody and warn them. | |
| Warn them! | |
| This week, I had the opportunity to go and preach a funeral for my daughter, Brianna, married Walker, and Walker has a brother named Wyatt. | |
| Wyatt's a young bride, 22 years old, 23 years old. | |
| Keeley died this week of cancer. | |
| Took her like that. | |
| They asked me if I'd do the funeral. | |
| I went up there and I stood in that rodeo arena. | |
| Little town of Belt. | |
| I looked at that rodeo stands. | |
| Those stands were full of people. | |
| I don't know, 600 people plus. | |
| I sat behind that stadium, that trailer that I would be speaking on in a minute as some of the songs were sung and I'm looking. | |
| And I'd already been kind of told, you know, these are, these are people who are atheists, these are people who are antagonistic towards God. | |
| I was standing, sitting next to a man, a godly rancher, who was helping with some of the things of the service, and he leaned over to me and he said, hey preacher, he said 90% of these people have never been to church and have never heard the gospel. | |
| And then he just patted my leg and he said, no pressure. | |
| During the singing, I just began to beg God. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| God, I want these people to know Christ. | |
| God, help me to warn them. | |
| I approached that little pulpit that day and I looked in the faces of all those hundreds of people and I began to tell them how Keely came to Jesus Christ in 2018 and she was saved. | |
| I began to tell those people, listen to me, there's only one way. | |
| Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes unto the Father but by Me. | |
| You either have Jesus or you don't. | |
| He that has the Son has life. | |
| He that has not the Son of God has not life. | |
| And I preach That funeral message, and I said, whether you're 23 or 103, life is a vapor. | |
| It appears for a little time and vanishes away. | |
| And one day, you'll live somewhere forever. | |
| And you will too. | |
| You're gonna live somewhere forever. | |
| Heaven or hell? | |
| As I closed that service and I prayed, I invited people to come to Christ. | |
| I I cannot tell you how many people came to Christ. | |
| God used her life. | |
| And God used her death to come into a community who had never heard the gospel like that, to hear it plainly. | |
| I got a text last night from her sweet husband, who said, I just want to thank you again for coming. | |
| I've been getting texts all day from people about, this person got saved, and I know these people that got saved, and these ones got saved, and people got saved. | |
| And I want to tell you, the gospel, and here's the thing, church, listen to me. | |
| Every man, warning every man, warning every man, preaching every man, that's the mission of the church! | |
| And so many churches are just content to come and let the preacher do it. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| You're a minister. | |
| Does your brother know Jesus? | |
| Does your sister know Jesus? | |
| Do your children know Jesus? | |
| Do your grandchildren know Jesus? | |
| Does your mother know Him? | |
| Does your father know Him? | |
| Does your neighbor know Him? | |
| Do the people you work with? | |
| Let me tell you something, the mission field is rich down in Mexico, but the greatest mission field is where every Christian goes to work on Monday morning. | |
| You say, well, I'm afraid I'd offend them. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Are we going to not warn people and then they end up going to hell and at least you didn't offend them? | |
| Paul said, when it comes to this, I'm all in! | |
| Jim Elliott landed in Ecuador in 1956 with those five other missionaries. | |
| They went down to Ecuador to work with those tribesmen and when they approached that tribe, they were brutally murdered and cannibalized. | |
| When they recovered his effects and brought them home in his journal, Jim Elliott had written these words. | |
| He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. he He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. | |
| His wife Elizabeth read those words And two years later, she was in Ecuador, living among that very tribe of people, her and Rachel, a wife of another missionary who was killed. | |
| And those two women lived in that tribe and won those people to Jesus Christ. | |
| All right. | |

| Welcome back to S4M Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James, and we're going right back to Pastor Dean Miller and his sermon about going all in for Christ. | |
| Let's listen to this. | |
| You know why they were all in? | |
| My question today to you is this, are you all in? | |
| Are you all in for Christ? | |
| Are we going to live for Him? | |
| Are we going to reach others for Christ? | |
| Are we going to share the Gospel? | |
| Are we going to live boldly and contagiously and compassionately and passionately for Christ? | |
| Some of you young people, you want to sit back in this country and you want to enjoy the luxuries of this country. | |
| What about places in this world that have never heard the gospel? | |
| Are you willing to go? | |
| I see so many American young people wondering, I don't know what I want to do with my life. | |
| And we're trying to get a career. | |
| What's going to give me the most money? | |
| What's going to give me the best 401k? | |
| How can I have the nicest car? | |
| Where can I have the nicest house? | |
| How can I afford the American Way? | |
| And we complain. | |
| We have all this. | |
| Listen to me. | |
| You have one life to live. | |
| Live it for Jesus Christ. | |
| I'm all in for Christ. | |
| Paul said, I'm all in. | |
| And by the way, let me just say, you don't have to do it on your own. | |
| Look at verse 29. | |
| Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. | |
| When you work for Christ, it's not you doing the work, it's you letting Him do the work in you. | |
| And the word, Jesus' word, you say, well yeah, Paul did so much because God really could mightily work in Paul. | |
| Well, you know, God could mightily work in you too, if you'd let Him. | |
| The reason why God could work so mightily in Paul is because Paul let God have His way. | |
| You know how many times the Holy Spirit has put on your heart to talk to somebody about the Gospel and you've said no? | |
| You know one of the reasons why the Lord can't work mightily through us is because He has to deal with us. | |
| He has to get you to put down your stupid video game things. | |
| Put your cell phone down. | |
| Give up your interests and your hobbies and listen, listen, I'm not saying that the Lord... Look, look, look, look. | |
| Serving Jesus is the greatest thing you'll ever do in your life. | |
| In His presence is the fullness of joy. | |
| At His right hand are pleasures forevermore. | |
| Life... God has given us a life that we can enjoy. | |
| It's a wonderful thing. | |
| But if you're going to live for you, you'll go do all the things you want to do and you'll be miserable for it. | |
| But to let Him work in you mightily is to let Him have you. | |
| The other day, I was laying in my bed, and I heard my A.C. | |
| up there going, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. | |
| Something was bouncing. | |
| And at first, that worry came to my mind, and then I realized, oh, that's not mine. | |
| I said, Lord, something wrong with your A.C. | |
| up there. | |
| You might want to check that out. | |
| He said, what'd you do about it? | |
| I just prayed about it. | |
| It stopped making that noise. | |
| It's still blowing cold air. | |
| But it ain't my problem. | |
| It's the Lord's problem. | |
| Amen. | |
| You know, we never live joyfully until we just let God have everything. | |
| He's got to work in you mightily. | |
| Some of us are so afraid, I don't know that I can share the gospel with somebody. | |
| Listen, you just let the Lord do it through you. | |
| I heard about a group, I read a parable years ago, I won't tell you the whole thing, I'll just give you this snippet. | |
| I read a little parable about a fisherman who never caught fish. | |
| It was about a group of people that loved to talk about fish. | |
| They loved fish. | |
| They would go meet, all the time, out by the lake. | |
| A lake where there were schools of fish, teeming with fish. | |
| They would gather together in their little groups, and they'd talk about fish, and what kind of fish were in the lake. | |
| They'd talk about ways to catch the fish. | |
| They'd talk about new boats, and new nets, and new lures, and new baits. | |
| And they would talk about all these things. | |
| There were great ways to catch fish, and how fun it must be to catch fish. | |
| But the thing is, they never caught any fish. | |
| Till one day somebody came by and said, who, what group is this? | |
| Oh, we're the fishermen's group. | |
| Well, how many fish you caught? | |
| None. | |
| Well, you're not fishermen. | |
| Well, yes we are. | |
| We're a fisherman group because we said we're a fisherman group. | |
| We talk about fish, that's all we ever talk about. | |
| We're all interested in fish. | |
| We have all the little catalogs about the lures and the nets and all the bait and all the things that you use to fish. | |
| Well, where are all the fish? | |
| They're still out there in the lake. | |
| We're standing over here in groups talking about them. | |
| And Jesus said, follow me and I will make you to be fishers of men. | |
| So let me ask you a very personal question. | |
| Does anybody in this room have a right to say they're a follower of Jesus if they're not fishing? | |
| And I submit to you today, no. | |
| You might like to talk about him. | |
| You might like to read his book. | |
| You might talk about all the new things, and all the new nets, and all the new ways, and all the new things he's teaching you, and all things you're learning, but you haven't brought a fish in one time. | |
| I wept the other day in my office when I read a new poll that came out. | |
| It said, of all the Bible-believing Christians who profess to be born again, less than 2% ever share their faith with anybody else. | |
| I sat at my desk and I wept over that and I said, Oh God, what's wrong with your people? | |
| Why are we not all in? | |
| All in for Christ. | |
| Father, I pray today, this message, this pointed message, this message that we, this is right down and personal where we live. | |
| You have redeemed us and bought us and we have such a great salvation and Lord we have been given everything, the hope of glory! | |
| And then we're just content to sit. | |
| God forgive us. | |
| Our heads bowed, our eyes are closed for just a moment. | |
| How many would say today, Pastor Miller, God spoke to my heart, I want to be all in for Jesus Christ. | |
| I want to be all in for Christ. | |
| Would you slip your hand way up high? | |
| I want to be all in for Christ. | |
| I want to be all in for Christ. | |
| My hand is with your hand. | |
| All to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give. | |
| What is it that's going to get in your way? | |
| You need to lay that down today. | |
| Who's here would say, Pastor Miller, if I died right now, I don't know for sure. | |
| I'm going to heaven. | |
| God spoke to my heart. | |
| Would you slip your hands way up high? | |
| I don't know for sure that I'm saved. | |
| I need to be saved. | |
| Would you slip your hand way up high? | |
| Put it right back down. | |
| I'm not going to embarrass you or walk down to where you are, but you say, I need to be saved. | |
| I don't know for sure that Jesus is my Savior. | |
| If I died right this very moment, I do not know where I would spend eternity. | |
| I want to know that I'm born again. | |
| Would you slip your hand way up high? | |
| Just put it right up, put it right back down. | |
| All right, that was Pastor Dean Miller and his sermon on going all in for Christ. | |
| And if you're out there listening and you may have put your hand up there, you know, I hope that you know that Jesus is there for you, that you can give your life to him. | |
| And that there is hope everlasting and it's found in Jesus. | |
| And I hope you guys take all the words from that sermon and put them to practice in your lives because for me, you know, the biggest success in my life has been anytime I've been able to help people find Jesus in a relationship and to change their lives in ways that make their lives even better. | |
| And I can tell you right now, I have family members even still who I'm working on in that regard who are struggling and not strong in their faith and maybe you're in the same boat where you know you have people you really love and care for who aren't fully saved and you know they're walking that line and I encourage you to not give up right to go out and keep | |
| Working on the Great Commission and making disciples, not just of all nations, but of those closest to you. | |
| Whether it's at work, or school, or in your own household with your family. | |
| You gotta work at it. | |
| It's just one of those things that we have to do. | |
| We have to go all in for Christ. | |
| The reward is great in heaven. | |
| And there is a great reward here in this earth. | |
| I don't know what it looks like for each one of us, but I do know that there's nothing more rewarding than doing that which we are called to do by the gospel. | |
| So, when we come back, we have one more segment before our final segment, and since we finished a little early with the sermon, we'll do a few more news stories, I guess. | |
| So everybody stay tuned. | |
| We're coming back after the break. | |

| Welcome back to Just One Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James. | |
| And, you know, it's really something else what we're seeing, especially down in Denver. | |
| I mean, it never ends. | |
| Right now, as we speak, happening in Denver, maybe not this very moment, but very recently, the Colorado Drug Policy Coalition, is hosting an event for people to inject their drugs safely, illegally. | |
| And, you know, provide them with care, like, here's a needle to shoot up the poison so that you can have a miserable life. | |
| You know, the things that liberals call compassionate are beyond my capability of understanding. | |
| The idea that the only thing that is, you know, the biggest problem for a homeless drug addict is the fact that they can't find clean needles to shoot themselves up with the drugs, you know, that they have is insane. | |
| A. It's immoral. | |
| B. And I feel like these people are just, these are like sadists, man. | |
| These are like complete and total Maniacally twisted and evil people. | |
| But of course, Denver Police and Every other institution, nobody's doing anything about it. | |
| I mean, they got tents, they got, you know, big, you know, canopies up and they got banners everywhere. | |
| Hey, let's, free drug use here in Colorado! | |
| Come on down! | |
| So you got Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment buildings and entire neighborhoods, it seems. | |
| You got these, you know, tragically misguided And in most cases, deranged, drug-addled hippies, you know, putting on, putting up tent clinics so that homeless people can shoot up their fentanyl and die quicker. | |
| And we have a feckless and degenerate government ran by a feckless and degenerate person, Jared Polis and his minion henchmen like Jenna Griswold and the rest. | |
| And our LGBTQ rainbow, you know, house of representation there. | |
| I mean, these people are destroying the state. | |
| I have to say, because you know, you live in California. | |
| I lived in California for three years. | |
| Not too long ago. | |
| Okay, I'm relatively new to Colorado, even though I did live in Colorado before I moved to California. | |
| It's a long story. | |
| I moved a few times, right? | |
| And I've said it before, I'll say it again. | |
| What I saw in California was the end result of what I'm seeing happening here in Colorado right now. | |
| I mean, we're already a blue state. | |
| We all know that. | |
| But I don't understand why, for the life of me. | |
| I mean, I guess it just must be that I think it all started when pot was legalized here. | |
| That's my humble opinion. | |
| I think the legalization of marijuana brought a flood of people not the best and the brightest. | |
| Let's put it that way. | |
| And they all moved here wanting to go and get high and they have completely abandoned their Or they never, I don't know if they ever had a moral compass. | |
| You smoke enough pot, your brain's fried anyway, so you know, they don't know what they're doing most of the time. | |
| And they care about nothing else other than that. | |
| And then you have the hippies and all that stuff. | |
| I mean, go to Boulder, it's the rainbow people. | |
| you know, the balkanized coalition of societal deviants who have glorified their evil proclivities and now try to expose children the balkanized coalition of societal deviants who have glorified their evil proclivities and now try to expose children to those proclivities younger at a younger and younger age because this is cultural Marxism this is how you get you know | |
| a communist society is you start with the children you know That's who they always appeal to, right? | |
| And, I mean, this state has been ruined. | |
| I hate to say it. | |
| To the point where even some liberals are leaving. | |
| And they're going to go to Texas, they're going to go to Florida, and they're going to do the same thing there. | |
| Like what we hear now, Trump's supporting this legalized marijuana in Florida. | |
| And I'm just saying, please don't. | |
| Because I know there's Libertarians out there screaming right now, going, you know, pot should be legal, blah blah blah. | |
| I understand that argument. | |
| I mean, have you seen what it does to society? | |
| What it does to people? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I mean, I'm all for it. | |
| If, you know, if you have some medical condition and that helps you, then sure, go ahead. | |
| I'm not gonna, I don't think that that should be, but it is a drug, you know, it should be treated like a drug. | |
| And you say, well, what about alcohol? | |
| I don't, you know, I don't have the answers for everything here, folks. | |
| I just know I've seen what Pot does. | |
| And it's... You know, a lot of people out there have varying opinions on it. | |
| But, uh... | |
| You know, it seems like a slippery slope, where it's like they talk about it being a gateway drug, and it's like, you could almost make the argument that it leads to communism, right? | |
| Because it's like, oh, we legalized pot, and now we have Venezuelan nationals running gangs in Denver. | |
| I'm sorry to laugh, it's just hilarious that it's so absurd. | |
| It's like, oh, you know, well, we'll just make gay marriage legal and pot legal and it'll be, it'll be fine. | |
| What's the worst could happen? | |
| And then like five, 10 years later, you got, you know, Venezuelan national cartels in your suburbs running, you know, gangs. | |
| You got open air drug clinics in the parks you have to shut down. | |
| Denver's had to shut down a number of parks because of gang violence and open air drug use and other criminal activities. | |
| They've had to shut down public parks. | |
| Okay? | |
| It's just like, I guess you get what you get what you You know, vote for. | |
| You get what you pay for in that regard. | |
| And, you know, when our governor is more concerned with, uh, whatever the hell he's doing, then I guess we'll just be on the end of the raw end of the stick there. | |
| Right? | |
| Raw end of the deal. | |
| But who knows? | |
| I'm open to the idea that I'm not right about everything. | |
| Of course. | |
| Somebody texted and said, pot makes you okay with being bored when you could be out learning a new skill. | |
| I guess this is the communist way. | |
| Yeah, why not? | |
| I mean, just smoke the pot and go get mesmerized staring off in the distance. | |
| All right. | |
| Listen folks, we're coming right back. | |
| Stay tuned. | |
| I'm Joe Jaquin, CEO of the Patriot Trading Group, and I would like to encourage everyone to make sure they are prepared financially as the Federal Reserve continues to destroy the value of the dollar. | |
| Since the closing of the gold window in 1971, the Federal Reserve has led the way in the explosion of debt and the devaluing of your money. | |
| They openly say that they need 2% inflation, which simply means they hope to devalue your money, and they want to do this every single year, year after year. | |
| I know it's hard to understand, but the Federal Reserve believes in prosperity through debt, and grow via the devaluation of your future. | |

| Welcome back to This Forum Talk Radio. | |
| My mistakes that I can know in my soul. | |
| How amazing was grace? | |
| Welcome back to Just Forum Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James. | |
| And, you know, interestingly enough, we have come to the end of the show. | |
| But it is always a pleasure to be here with you guys. | |
| I hope you enjoyed it. | |
| I hope you took some value from today's show, and that whatever you were able to take away, that it helps you throughout the day. | |
| But I'm going to leave you with a little bit of hope and encouragement here. | |
| We're going to go back over to the Scripture. | |
| As you know, we do our God's Grace Creator segment at the end of every show, and today is no different. | |
| For today's segment, I want to take a second and put us back in Psalm 119, which is where we've been for quite some time now. | |
| It's quite a long chapter. | |
| I believe it's the longest one in the Bible. | |
| But it is Psalm 119, and we're in verse 129-136, and I'm going to read these words, and then we'll talk about it just briefly. | |
| So, here it is. | |
| Psalm 119, verse 129-136 says, Your decrees are wonderful, therefore I obey them. | |
| The revelation of your words bring light and gives understanding to the inexperienced. | |
| I open my mouth and pant because I long for your commands. | |
| Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is your practice toward those who love your name. | |
| Make my steps steady through your promise, don't let any sin dominate me. | |
| Redeem me from human oppression and I will keep your precepts. | |
| Show favor to your servant and teach me your statutes. | |
| My eyes pour out streams of tears because people do not follow your instruction. | |
| You know, in these words, we find grieving for the lost, right? | |
| It is sad when we see people living in a way that is broken and lost and without God. | |
| I've often, with my own friends and family and people I know personally, if they don't have a relationship with God or they outwardly reject God, I always feel saddened. | |
| Because I understand what power God has. | |
| I've seen it in my life. | |
| My testimony is a proof of that. | |
| I saw a transformation in myself and in the world around me once I rededicated my life to God that I never knew existed. | |
| I'm not saying that to say that I'm some perfect example of what a Christian should be, because obviously I'm a flawed individual and I still have things that I'm working with God to figure out, but I just want you all out there to know this, that when we go to try to help others, | |
| Maybe it's wise to take a second and look at ourselves in the mirror and ask, are we right with God? | |
| Because if the answer to that question is no, then you can never be expected to help others if you can't help yourself. | |
| So let's start on ourselves and then trust that that will allow us to help others. | |
| You know, Romans chapter 5, in the affliction that we find, it will Give us endurance, which will lead to a proven character, which allows us to see hope. | |
| And once we see that hope, we can share it with others. | |
| So I encourage you all, if you haven't already, to take a moment, repent of your sin, accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. | |
| If you haven't, if you have, go out. |
