Well said and well explained. Thank you and God bless you. Greetings from Canandaigua, NY.

Well spoken. Your insight about the Apostle Paul at the 25:00 mark was excellent. As a life long conservative and Born Again believer since the age of 16, I have come to see over years there is a significant difference between conservatism and Christianity that I wasn't aware of in my earlier years. I believe, especially with this MAGA Trump movement, many people professing Christianity are in a very dangerous situation because they are not distinguishing between Christ imputed righteousness and conservatives values. And that is the reason we have so many exonerating Donald Trump to a "savior" status- because many conservatives have never trusted Christ as their savior but believe that getting involved in voting for conservative political leaders, voting Republican, being patriotic .. is going to get them into Heaven. Conservative values cannot and will not produce Christ Imputed righteousness. NO amount of legislation is going to change hearts, only the Gospel can do that. It matters not who wins in November. God is sovereign and in control. As a result, he and he alone will decide when our freedoms of preaching the Gospel in this nation will end ( And I humbly believe that will happen when the Rapture takes place). MARANATHA & Blessings❤❤❤❤

Good talk Brian. Hopefully I'll see you at the pastors conference next week. My Sr Pastor and I would like to meet you.

[@CalvaryChapelFranklin]

@@jimyoung9262 looking forward to meeting you guys! See you there 👍

I do not understand how these people think that the so called religious people will bring the kingdom in earth? The Bible is as clear as it can be that the church of Christ believers will diminish and apostasy will increase, that is why our citizenship is in Heaven. Vote, speak biblically, preach the gospel, but ultimately Christ will be the one to establish to come and establish His reign! Thank you Brian.

First of all, I’ve been enjoying many of your messages since discovering your KZbin channel. Thank you for this timely and specific message. In recent years I’ve become rather “animated” about this particular subject, and my response to corresponding trends isn’t nearly as polite and measured as yours. Perhaps when thoughts are gathered I’ll leave more thorough comments.

[@CalvaryChapelFranklin]

@@davidwilkins5932 I feel your pain brother

[@davidwilkins5932]

I pray for the well-being of your ministry when taking such a Biblical stance during these times, especially in your geographic area. There are at least two “ministers” in your area that would proclaim you to be demonic, and they have a committed following. And no doubt there are many more. As a many-generation Southerner, there isn’t a domestic culture with which I’m more intimately familiar. After years of observation, I see MAGA as basically CSA 2.0, wrapped in different fabric and a slightly altered language; it just isn’t as regionally defined as it once was. They are deeply serious, and their primary standard bearer is the “church”. As one who is strong on eschatology, I see this movement (and others within the Church) as manifestations of separating wheat from chaff. And we haven’t seen the worst of it.

Agree 100% bro,can't legislate righteousness before God

[@privatepilot4064]

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” 2 Corinthians 11:3 “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” Salvation is so simple, even a child can understand it. It is simply believing with your whole heart that Jesus’ Sacrifice on Calvary was the total and complete payment for your sin. Plus nothing, minus nothing. Jesus will take you just as you are, sin and all. He came for sinners. You don’t have to change because He will change you. Hebrews 2:3 “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;” So really, what have you got to lose? Thank you Brother Brian! Looking up!

Thank-you for your teaching. Question: after reading Galatians and Acts 15 I don't understand why Paul circumsized Timothy in Acts 16. The decrees they were delivering was a result of addressing that. I know they were instructing the gentiles but Paul rebuked Peter in Galatians for fearing those who were of the circumcision. It seems to me that Paul circumcising Timothy contradicts Paul's teaching in Galatians chapter 2. What am I missing, or misunderstanding? Thank you so much. I appreciate your teaching. Have a blessed day!

[@jhart5757]

Wait a minute. You telling me that the Lord Jesus Christ is not sitting at the right hand of the Father draped in the stars and bars, pullin for the crimson tide on Saturday? I have a t shirt that says specifically on the 8th day God created the crimson tide. I dunno man. Sounds fishy. He sure ain't pullin for the cow college down the road. Role Tied.

17 million evangelicals do not vote. A disgrace.

[@kwave5426]

And by not voting they are unknowingly fully endorsing the satanic policies that will be enforced by the incoming government….along with the effects of inflation and even economic depression…that effect everyone but always hit the poor at the highest level…further burdening their lives… But as long as they are ok, they can be cowards, I guess…
