Sam Rohrer:

Hello and welcome to this Monday edition of Stand in the Gap today. And it’s also the beginning of this third full week here in January of 2026. Time is flying, is it not? Always is. But when that happens, a lot of things are happening. Generally speaking here, federal and state offices today are closed. Banks are closed Wall Street. Today’s closed due to the Martin Luther King National Holiday. But I can assure you that world events are not being delayed, nor are they stopping. In fact, this entire weekend has been filled with major international news, narrowly averted Middle East military tax and a whole lot more. And as we speak, major closed door financial discussions with the US Treasury, the Federal Reserve and major banks continue. For instance, as impacts of our burgeoning national debt is coming due. It’s all driving toward the justification of a new order global financial reset.

We’ve talked about that. That’s not going to be our focus today, but it is one of those things that are in full gear and a lot happened over the weekend and even this morning. Now, to consider a few of these items in this larger context, so as to connect some dots here where possible and to do it through a biblical worldview lens, I’m glad to have back with me for our monthly focus on this broader area we call national security, international geopolitics and biblical policy. Try to take headlines that fall into that category and view them together. My guest, J.R. McGee, who is the extreme leadership group founder and CEO and an instructor, as you know, in strategic leadership and counterterrorism for well over 30 years, doing training much of our military’s best, including Delta Force and Navy SEALs and a lot of others. But anyways, I’ve asked him to be with me here today and I’ve chosen to frame our discussion today as this, times of transition, days of crisis, times of transition, days of crisis.

And with that, and welcome back to the program right now, JR McGee. JR. Thanks for being back with me.

JR, are you there? Well, you were just there.

J.R. McGee:

Yes, I’m here, Sam. I am so sorry. Thank you. It’s a pleasure to be back with you and our friends as my military friends say buckle up, buttercup. It’s fixing to get real out there.

Sam Rohrer:

It is. So let’s get right into it because we have far too much to discuss in an hour, but we’re going to try and do it. Jared, let me just set just a little bit more set up here. In days of information overload, such as where we are now, lots of theater, a lot of government designed distraction and deception. It’s all around. It’s just the way it is, but it’s all been exploded. I would say by the speed of the internet and fraudulently produced AI now generated content and avatars that are speaking and it’s out there everywhere. One of the fallouts is information overload. And periodically, I think it’s a good thing to step back just a bit and look at the bigger picture, put it into context, help people to understand, even ourselves, back up and say, “What is really taking place?” But one of the realities of our day, JR, and you and I have talked about this, is that of crisis.

Everything’s a crisis, it seems. And a strategy though for dealing with crises was made known, made popular during the era of Barack Obama when in 2008, Rami Manuel, an advisor to the president, said this, “Never allow a crisis to go to waste. Never allow a crisis to go to waste.” In reality, people have used this type of thing for a long time. Totalitarian leaders have done it. Hitler with a right stock, burned it, set fire to it in order to get a justification to blame the Jews in order to rally the people for war, that kind of thing. So that being the case, never allow a crisis to go to waste. From a military strategic perspective, JR, your comments on the significance of crisis to implement major government changes, is that a fact? Would you agree with that? Just give some thoughts and then I’d like to have you go right into identifying the crises that you think are driving national and international actions here today.

J.R. McGee:

Sam, it’s a very real scenario. And the issue is whether it’s an individual or whether it’s a family or a community or a nation or the globe, a sense of crisis generates fear. It triggers that fight or flight response that forces people to do things they would not normally do otherwise. And when people are operating out of a sense of fear, they often don’t take the time to think things through logically or rationally the way that they would in normal circumstances. And it becomes very easy to manipulate people, especially large groups of people when they’re fearful. I’m firmly of the opinion that the collective intelligence of people decreases is the number of people increases. Individuals are brilliant. Large groups of people are not so smart. So if you can make them fearful, you can get them to do things that they would not normally do.

Sam Rohrer:

All right. Now that being the case, identify some of the crises that you think are leading the discussion right now, helping to drive both national and international actions. And perhaps if there’s a common thread that runs through that, particularly as relates to the United States, put that into perspective to help set the stage for today.

J.R. McGee:

It is. And this is what we refer to as a target rich environment. We’ve got the financial crisis that is truly, truly threatening the national security of our country. As you and many of your other guests have talked about, it is significant and growing worse by the day. We’ve got this illegal immigrant crisis here in the United States that’s generating a lot of fear on both sides and driving people to do things that they wouldn’t normally do. You’ve got the Russia-Ukraine crisis, this Iranian crisis where the Ayatollah Khomeini officially acknowledged that there’s been close to 21,000 deaths and injuries as a result of this. They’ve finally come clean on how many people were actually killed in this crisis. Then you’ve got China and Taiwan and China and their global dominance that they’re trying to achieve. Then you’ve got this Venezuelan crisis. And now, lo and behold, you’ve got the crisis over the Greenland issue.

We’re not in a shortage of crises, but where they’re all common is that the United States has been seen as a sole dominant superpower and a source of good and justice for many years. The world has seen the United States decline, and just like nature of wars of vacuum, society will not tolerate a vacuum in leadership. And what the world has seen is the US fall from a power for good and a protector of weak into just a shell of what we used to be able to do. And our word is no longer to be trusted on the world stage.That’s a serious issue that we’ve got to be aware of, Sam.

Sam Rohrer:

And with that, JR, you’ve laid a foundation, ladies and gentlemen, we’ll continue kind of building off of that foundation now as we go further into the discussion today. And again, this is more of a 10,000 foot level. Looking down at all of these things that we’ve talked about, times of transition, we’ll talk about that next because when nations change in supremacy and domination wise, there are always crises that develop around the fringe of that. We’ll tie some of that together when we come back in the next segment. And of course, without saying it, we here in our nation seem to be right smack in the middle of most of these. Well, if you’re just tuning in with us today, thanks for being on board. J.R. McGee is my guest today. We’ve been, as we’re going through this first month of January, a lot of the programs where we have on a recurring basis, we have been starting out this year and JR generally, the way we’ve worked it out is with me.

We’re together about one time a month, focusing on those issues of international geopolitics, biblical prophecy, military strategy because of his background. We can lump together those things that are in headline news and come at it from that perspective. And today is that first focus on this theme of the year. And the Lord willing will continue to do this once a month through the balance of 2026. Now that being the case, the theme I’ve chosen for today is this, times of transition, days of crises. We talked about crises a little bit, some of those leading items in last segment and why they happen. Kind of go into this thing, a concept here of transitioning now. Just a bit of background. Throughout human history and human civilization, nations, as we know, have risen. Some expanded into sprawling empires. In time, all of those empires tended to do the same thing.

They overextended their domination. Later generations then that came along in those empires, forgetting how the nation began and how things functioned. They took their power and the prestige and influence of a dominating world power, took it for granted, pursued the lives of ease, lived for the moment rather than next generation. And the empire moved into collapse. The weakening of the empire further invited other would be leaders and national powers. And in time, a transition occurred with a new empire rising. Now, from a biblical perspective, and we’ve talked about this in other settings, the vision of Nebuchadnezzar recorded in the book of Daniel, for instance, highlighted four great earthly kingdoms, the Babylonian kingdom, the Meads and the Persian, the Grecian kingdom, and then Roman, the Roman Empire. All of these were empires. All were talked about there in Book of Daniel. Then there’s a fifth and the final pre-millennial world empire, because the last government that will survive will be the one that Jesus Christ leads as king physically here on the earth.

That’s our millennial kingdom. But before that, there is a fifth, a final pre-millennial world empire, which will be a revived Roman empire, and it will bring into being a new global order run by what is referred to as the beast system of the Antichrist. And from the Roman Empire to the very present, other smaller great powers have risen and fallen. There are great powers today, but each change has been of necessity a transition and transitions are always times of uncertainty and war and crisis. Today, I’m going to say is a time of transition. All right. JR, I just set up some of that right there, but between the time of God’s defined era of empires and world a dominating government as foreseen by Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon through the New World Order of the B system, there have been other shorter term dominating powers, all with certain commonality.

There are certain things about them all that are common. Which ones would you identify as we get into where we are now? Identify as important as they led to today and how they led to the superpowers of today.

J.R. McGee:

You know, Sam, as you look back through history and the strategy that’s gone on and how the world has developed, the real danger period for civilization is when one great power is declining and a challenging power is emerging and rapidly gaining in strength and economic power. And this has been seen several times. Just in the last few hundred years, Portugal was a major sea power. They had a transition to Spain. There were a lot of major naval wars during that. Spain became very dominant, and then that led to the Dutch who established major trade on an international basis. And then the British assumed dominance in some of those wars, and the British government maintained the role of the great superpower until pretty much the end of World War I. And that war, the battle of World War I, and then the battle of World War II were typically because there was a dramatic if and change for who was going to emerge as the dominant superpower.

At the end of World War II, that clearly became the United States, and we became the main superpower up until present time. Now, the worst wars in history have been at these inflection points where economic military and technology collided and power transferred from one society to the next. Right now, China is an equal with the United States, and I believe that very soon they’re going to become stronger than the US, both financially, militarily, and if they take Taiwan, they will be superior to us technologically. There’s a lot of people in the United States that don’t believe that this could be true, but I can assure you, not only could it be true, it is becoming true, Sam.

Sam Rohrer:

All right. Well, that really sets it up. So let’s take it more into the current from a human perspective. What is the cause of the transition battle today? And what are the strategies of these various powers that you mentioned? Certainly China, the United States, which are going to say defining the current crises, and then back to the crisis idea of work that all in, because if we said at the beginning, it seems that most of the crises that were mentioned, we’re right smack in the middle of it, but maybe almost China’s in the middle of it too, but go ahead and build out on that.

J.R. McGee:

Well, I think China is in the middle of it. We focus a lot on Russia, and Russia will become a more dominant superpower. There’s no doubt about it. In my mind, the Bible clearly says that they will, but today the main conflict is between the United States and China. And the real battle from a physical human perspective is over energy, security, and critical resources. No matter what people want in terms of idealistic dreams, the world requires a massive amount of energy to sustain a modern society. I’m sorry, I’m a believer in solar and wind. I’ve used those in both in my business and my private life, but renewables just do not have the capacity with today’s technology to provide anywhere near enough energy to run our collective societies. Oil is the only source of energy available that’s going to work. And whoever controls that energy source, they’re going to control both the society and the form of government that supports that society.

It’s as simple as that. Venezuelan oil has financed Russia’s attack on Ukraine and pretty much China’s entire economy with some oil coming from Iran. Make no mistakes, Sam. The primary spiritual battle is the big thing. We focus sometimes on the human elements from the day to day, but the real battle in all this is a spiritual battle between three powerful religions, which is Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. And these are forming the dynamic that’s driving all of these things. You look at the immigration issue that’s being driven by Islam. Economics is being driven by the unbelievable amount of wealth that the United States has transferred to China because of our political and economic decisions, and China’s using that wealth to build their society up to be a significant threat to our way of life.

It is a spiritual battle. There’s a component in this that we ignore our own peril. That battle between good and evil and the battle that I believe that is told to us by the Bible clearly sets up who these players are going to be and what’s happening. And we’re seeing that take place before our very eyes, Sam. It is an incredible issue as we look and see what’s going on and how it’s happening. The DOD is increasing our military budget for $1.5 trillion. That is because the United States, since 1991, has depleted our military to an alarming rate. Our Air Force is smaller than it was before World War II. Our Navy has fewer ships in it than before World War II. We used to have a policy to where we could fight two wars on two different fronts at one time. That’s no longer the case.

And our enemies now realize that the United States is very vulnerable, and if they attack us from multiple different locations in multiple different areas at the same time, we don’t have the resources today to deal with those threats effectively. And a final point on that is a missile shield for the United States is no longer a nice to have, and that’s precisely what’s driving this conflict with Greenland. Now, I know the strategical importance Greenland has. It’s unequivocal. How we’re going about that is subject to debate. I know that what we’re doing is irritating a lot of people in a lot of different areas on both sides of the equation. I’m not sure we’re going about it correctly, but somehow or the other, the United States is going to have to be able to control Canadian airspace and green lane airspace and Alaskan airspace if we’re going to protect the United States.

All of these things, at their root cause, are driven by these religious issues and the conflict between the dominance for these different religious beliefs.

Sam Rohrer:

And that brings us right up to the break. And ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you get a sense of the balance. As believers, we know that there is ultimately a spiritual battle between God and Satan himself. Satan right now is the prince and the power of the air. He runs the world’s system, but according to God’s sovereign plan, so God raises up nations and he puts them down. The devil’s trying to do his thing, which is to divide and bring destruction and death to all, and God is working forward his plan. These are in collision. They are moving forward. Gods will prevail, but in the middle of all that, we see these transitions and earthly powers with people rising and falling. And when we come back, we’re going to continue this and go this, interpreting what’s happening.

All right, JR, let’s take and build a little further on that. Let me ask you one question. This was not something we had talked about earlier, but I’m just curious here. When empires rise and fade, and we’re talking about the two main players right now, what appears to be China, the United States, China’s rising without a doubt, the US, because of our debt, our financial condition, and a whole lot more are on the other side of that. Do you think from an overall perspective that China is … Let’s put it this way, which one, the United States or China, do you think right now are actually the leader in strategy? In other words, initiating? Is one more proactive and one of these two more in a position of reaction? Or how would you look at it from an overall military strategic perspective of what’s taking place between these two great powers right now?

J.R. McGee:

We did not talk about that, but that’s an excellent question. And it’s very clear. It’s very distinct. China is in a proactive strategic initiative. Their belts and roads initiative is how they’re gaining access to other areas of the world. They’re using their economic might control a lot of issues to include financial currencies. I won’t get into that because your other guests have covered that quite well, but China is being very, very proactive and they’re being very strategic in how they’re approaching this. Technologically, they absolutely have to have Taiwan without question. And then the shipping lanes, they realize that if they can control the waterways, they don’t have to control countries. They can control what goes into and out of countries.

The United States is very much being reactive. And we have been since the Obama administration. I think one of the things that we’re seeing that’s creating a lot of angst right now is that after multiple years of being reactive and passive and of having a policy of appeasement, Donald Trump appears to be trying to get back into the proactive issue and back in control of some of these issues. It’s a very complex dance, Fam. And we’ve had a policy in the United States of appeasement and buying our way out of things, and that has not worked. And so if we’re going to react to the threats that we see coming, we have to take action and we have to take action very, very quickly. I think that’s what’s driving a lot of these things that people are seeing and it’s happening so fast and they’re so large that it scares people.

That goes back into that fight or flight response that we were talking about. It is very easy to set up a situation to where you can control people if you create a sense of fear. I think that’s what this National Insurrection Act potential … We should be very concerned about that. I’m a strong supporter of the military, but I’m always cautious when we want to use the military

In the United States.

Sam Rohrer:

Okay, JR. I was going to ask you about that. You brought that up. Go ahead and explain that a little bit. The Insurrection Act, the president has threatened on a number of occasions just very recently to enact that, which is basically a declaration of a national emergency. Things happen after that. You brought that up a little bit. Explain that a little bit and how that may well fit into these days of crisis, let’s put it that way, that you identified in the first segment.

J.R. McGee:

Well, it’s very specific, Sam, and it’s US Law 10 USC 251-253. And what it does is it allows the federal law to enact unique implementation things. We enable the military to come in when there is quote, an unlawful obstruction or a rebellion that makes ordinary judicial processes impractical, and it’s also to suppress insurrections or, and here’s where it gets interesting, domestic violence that obstructs federal authority or state law and protects constitutional rights when state authorities are unable or unwilling to secure those rights. Now, here’s the interesting thing. Once that act is invoked, then the president can direct the military, form some direct law enforcement functions like making arrests, dispersing crowds, enforcing court orders. That’s normally because of the Posse Commatatus Act off limits to the military. We don’t even want to cross that line. This Insurrection Act allows that, and you can invoke it three different ways.

You can invoke it when a state requests it, or if the state doesn’t request it, the president without state consent can use the armed forces for unlawful obstructions or rebellion when it makes it impractical to enforce federal law through normal courts. And it also allows the president, again, without state consent to suppress insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combinations or conspiracies that derive people of constitutional rights and respond when state authorities cannot or will not protect those rights. Now that’s directly reading from the law. Now, that sounds like it’s an open invitation. There’s still some checks and balances in that, Sam. The Constitution, the First and Fourth Amendment are still very much in effect. There can be a judicial review after the fact and can launch some potential injunctions. And then Congress does have some oversight and funding limits, but that’s after the fact. There’s a lot going on with this.

The triggering of this insurrection act would give the president power to legally go in and do some of these things that like, for example, the state of Minnesota and the state of California and the state of New York don’t seem to be willing to do themselves. And the United States citizenry has a right to expect peace and lawful order in their communities. So I can see both sides of this, but I think we’re going down a path here that this could get real interesting real fast.

Sam Rohrer:

And therein is the basis for a quote unquote crisis, an event that demands some kind of urgent attention that is defined by the powers that be and so forth and so on. So that brings us back to the fact of how the crises that you identified, some are in the works like financially and so forth. Some have been ongoing for a long time on a geopolitical level, like the Russia and Ukraine circumstance and the overall China, US contest that’s going on and China, Taiwan, all those things, what may happen in Iran. So all of these things would be ongoing, whether you call them boiling pots or whatever. They all are like little volcanoes that are smoking that could erupt and make a crisis. But into that comes this one, which was current, came up over the weekend about the deportation efforts in Minneapolis and the president again saying, “I can do that.

” And so that’s why you read the Insurrection Act. But if that were to happen, that would produce probably, in my opinion, a lot more unintended consequences probably than intended, but that itself could be a crisis. So point being, some are happening and some can come up really almost momentarily. That’s the nature of crisis, isn’t it?

J.R. McGee:

It is, Sam. And here’s the interesting thing. Once you trigger that, it gives the president powers to do more than just this illegal immigration thing. He could, theoretically, use that act as it’s invoked to deal with the financial crises. He could deal with some technological issues. He could also go back and deal with other countries. Once you invoke that act, you start going down a slippery slope that could have a lot of different impact in a lot of different areas. And as I told our audience earlier, we do not have a shortage of crises in the world today. There’s a bunch of crises, and how we deal with each one of them is going to determine how our country proceeds for the next 50 years. We’re in momentous times. These are tremendous situations that I believe with all my heart. People will be reading about this a hundred years from now saying, “Why didn’t they do this?

Or why didn’t they do that? ” This is going to change the United States and the world fundamentally that’s from a human perspective. From a biblical perspective, I think this exactly sets up the things that need to be in place and the things that need to occur for God’s word to come true in our very eyes. I’m both terrified and excited at the same time as I’m watching these things happen and seeing how they line up with prophecy and how they line up with seeing the manipulations that different countries are doing where knowingly or unknowingly, they’re doing exactly what needs to happen in order for things that you read in the Bible and you say, “How could that happen?” Well, now you can clearly see what’s happening, Sam. It’s for people who study the Bible, this has got to be some of the most interesting times we’ve ever lived in.

Sam Rohrer:

And I would agree with you totally. And ladies and gentlemen, I hope you get that sense. I mean, JR is giving a military perspective, biblical perspective, and I am from my perspective, but all of us, when we look at the things around us of which we must do, we If we look at them through the lens of scripture and remember that God is fully in control and if we are yielded to his will following his word, we’re going to be okay. But it brings clarity, which is what we’re trying to say this little bit, that in the midst when the world tries to gin up fear to get people to do things they otherwise wouldn’t do, as believers, we need to have a different response. When we come back, we’re going to conclude with what that response really needs to be. As we go into our final segment, thanks for being with us today.

And I trust that this first day of this third week of January finds all of you well. And at least on the East Coast here, a lot of schools are closed. Most places are closed because of the holiday, but a lot of snow lying around here. And so schools were impacted by that a little bit and died. It’s very beautiful. And I don’t know what it’s like where you are, but I’m sure that when you look outside, it’s always a praise and a thanks for what God has done because it’s beautiful in a different way, no matter where we might live. So anyways, we want to think about these things as we close today’s program. We’ve talked about some big issues, crises and transition. We’ve gone all the way from empires rising and falling, great powers changing. The Bible talks about kingdoms coming and going and nations rising and falling and God’s greater plan and that he will ultimately prove on the planes of Armageddon that the powers, the nations of this world, the human wisdom of this world is inferior and he will make them bow to him.

And then he will at that point establish a kingdom, the millennial kingdom, a thousand years, where he will rule with a rod of iron perfectly from the capital city of Jerusalem, which will be the capital of the world. And the nations of the world at that point, because they’ll still exist, they will come down and give homage. That will be in the future. But there’s a lot of change that is yet to occur in what we see as nations and all of that. And we’re talking a little bit about that today. So J.R., Whether from a human perspective or certainly a biblical perspective, and we’ve interwoven those here today, nations do rise and fall, driven by powers and factors, generally not altered by single human effort. For instance, there was nobody that was on the scene that made Nebuchadnezzar come to power or could take him down or the meads in the Persians or any of the Roman emperors.

It transcended a long time. Same in our country. There’s no one living right now who had anything to do with this nation coming into existence. We don’t know how long it will go. Any single person is quite limited into what they can do. I can’t call up President Trump and tell him to do what I want him to do. That just doesn’t work that way, right? Or any similar individual around the world. So just making that point is that, but individuals, we do have a responsibility. And sometimes that becomes question about what we can do, what we should do, particularly in these days of transition and crisis, which can come and disappear tomorrow. But all that being said, let’s now bring it back home. From your perspective, how should the believer, the God-fearing individual consider the events that we’ve identified today and respond to them?

And again, this is not a question that we’ve never answered before. We have answered it before, but it’s good to be reminded of it in this context. How would you answer that?

J.R. McGee:

Sam, this is one of the things that is really complex, and that is the relationship between a Christian believer and what they do and how they react and interact with the rest of the world. And in my own personal experience, I’ve been involved with the military for more than 50 years now, and I’ve had to reconcile, and it’s caused me to think a lot about who I am and what I am, and how do I reconcile my Christian beliefs with my requirements as a warrior? And I’ve put a lot of thought into this. And there’s some people, and I respect their beliefs, that believe we should be completely passive, and I understand that, and there’s a time and a place for that. But God raised up Joshua and gave him an army. God raised up David and gave him an army. God raised up Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem, and Nehemiah told his people, work with a trial in one hand and a sword in the other hand.

First off, we need to realize that as Christians, we are called to fight. And I want to do this biblically. I don’t want to look at this from J.R. ‘s perspective. I want to look at this in terms of what the Bible tells me. Ephesians chapter six actually tells us how to wear and use the military equipment required to defend our faith. If you haven’t read Ephesians chapter six, I encourage you to read it. It’s quite interesting and very useful. The Apostle Paul, Sam, he wrote most of the New Testament. He told us at the very end of his life, “He had fought the good fight.” And in Jude chapter one, verse three, that tells us that we’re to contend for our faith. That means fight for what you believe in. And if that’s not enough, you go to one Timothy chapter six, verse 12, that tells us that we are required to fight the good fight of faith.

Now, I love eschatology. And eschatology is the study of biblical prophecy. I’ve studied, I’ve read the Bible cover to cover more than once, but eschatology has always been my passion in the Bible. But what I’m going to tell you today is don’t get caught up in trying to determine when the day of the Lord is or even the date of the rapture. That’s going to happen when the Lord says it’s going to happen. What we’re required to do today, Sam, is defend our faith, trust in the Lord and tell everybody we know about what you believe and why you believe in it. Now, I realize there are some of us who still have questions or doubts. As much as I believe and as much as I’ve lived, I still question what I believe and I study. I study to show myself approved, but I also study against other beliefs to see is there something that I don’t understand if there’s something that I don’t quite get and I’m always challenging what I believe.

I think right now is a great time to think through what do you believe and how do you study to show yourself a prove? When you stand before God, we’ve got to answer for these things that we’ve done and what we didn’t do. Now, as individuals, you said it quite well. We cannot alter what great powers like China, Russia, or the United States do or pursue. But Sam, as individuals, we can stand up for what we believe. And I think we must stand up for what we believe. I’ve said this many times on this show. Stand up in your homes, in your churches, your communities, your towns, but whatever you do, speak out. And if that doesn’t convince you, then look at Matthew chapter 10, verse 20. If you’re worried about what to say, don’t worry about it. If it’s Matthew chapter 10, verse 20 specifically says, “For it is not you that speak, but the spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

” God’s going to give us the words he wants us to use when he wants us to use them, but we’ve got to be willing to say something. You can’t do that if you’re sitting in the background being silent. I think now is the time for us to trust God, to trust our salvation and to trust in the power of each of us as individuals to change this world. The only way the world’s ever changed is through the power of an individual, courageous enough to speak up, speak out, and speak truth. It’s the only way that the world’s ever changed is through individuals. And I’m praying that God finds us fighting for him whenever he does decide that it’s time for us to come and for us to come home and for him to come back. We don’t know when that time’s going to be.

Only thing we can control, Sam, is what we do, when we do it, and where we do it. There’s people out there that would try to shut us down, shut us up and tell us that we shouldn’t be speaking uncomfortable things to people who may not believe. Well, frankly, that’s been the message of the gospel since the very beginning is to go out and reach those people who don’t understand, who don’t believe, who don’t, don’t see.

JR, we’re out of time. And ladies and gentlemen, if you listen to the program, you know that what has been shared there is the case. I say, first of all, if you don’t know Jesus Christ as Savior, trust in him today, that is where it begins. Then study his word. Choose to fear God, obey his commands. That means opening our mouth. That means living assault and life in this age and occupying fully till he comes.
