Drop us a note about the podcast.
Romans 3 doesn’t leave room for ego. We start with Paul’s blunt diagnosis that no one is righteous and that the law can’t rescue us, it can only reveal what’s broken. Then we slow down on the promise that changes everything: God makes sinners right in his sight through faith in Jesus Christ, offered freely by grace to anyone who believes. If you’ve been carrying guilt, anger, or a quiet sense that you’ll never measure up, this conversation points to a better foundation than self-effort.
From there, we bring Scripture into the home with Proverbs 27 and Proverbs 19, using the unforgettable picture of a “constant dripping” to talk about conflict, nagging, and the kind of quarrels that grind down a marriage over time. We share straightforward, practical encouragement for spouses who want peace, not performance, and we ask what it looks like when our actions finally match what we claim we value.
We also zoom out to faith and culture, leaning on C.S. Lewis’s insight that a healthy society isn’t built by “religious jobs,” but by ordinary Christians living faithfully in every vocation. To tie it together, we read a 1952 July 4 prayer from Conrad Hilton that sounds eerily modern, naming fear, selfishness, and false gods like money, pleasure, and power, and calling a nation back to God before the darkness falls.
If this encouraged or challenged you, subscribe for more, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review wherever you listen. What part of Romans 3 do you wrestle with most right now?

النص 🔗
00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.879
Romans 3, starting with verse 9.
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:09.039
Well then, should we conclude that we Jews are better than others?
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:15.199
No, not at all, for we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles, are under the power of sin.
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.879
As the scriptures say, no one is righteous, not even one.
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.320
No one is truly wise, no one is seeking God.
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.480
All have turned away, all have become useless.
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:29.760
No one does good, not a single one.
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:47.679
July 22nd of this year, the oil tanker in Celia, in Celia, in the Red Sea, was hit with a blast.
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.039
Don't know whether it was a rocket, I would assume, but some kind of explosion.
00:00:53.359 --> 00:01:02.079
The Houthis out of Yemen, who are a Shia Muslim group, took responsibility for it.
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.000
Saudi siege of Yemen.
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:25.439
Also, though came in time of intensifying or the fighting was increasing between the United States and Iran.
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:35.200
At any rate, uh there's an article in the Epic Times from the August 5th to the 11th edition.
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:54.319
The reason I read that instead of our normal little bit is because it illustrates the fact, folks, that just across the board, across the globe, across time, Islam produces the same results.
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:03.680
Rape, pillage, plunder, death, violence, slavery.
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:12.479
And it doesn't matter what group it is, it doesn't matter whether it's Shia or some other sect.
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.879
The result is the same.
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.719
And you say, well, you know, one of the arguments is, well, they're they're attacking other Muslims, right?
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.080
Saudi Arabia.
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:34.560
And Saudi Arabia is our ally, but the only reason that Saudi Arabia is our ally as a Muslim nation is because we're operating and have traditionally operated from a position of power.
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:50.400
If Saudi Arabia as a Muslim country, if that relationship was reversed and they were operating from a position of power, there would be no tolerance or peace.
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:51.840
Right?
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:57.360
The other thing is the idea of moderate Islam.
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:00.080
There's no such thing.
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:16.240
There are people who are openly violent and support the acts of Muslims like this attack on July the 22nd on this oil tanker, the explosion, right?
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:24.800
The October 7th attacks in Israel from a couple years back, just and the repetitive attacks we just see across the world.
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.680
And then there's those who support it secretly, complicitly.
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:30.800
Right?
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:53.520
And somebody would come along and they're gonna tell you if if you have this conversation, they're gonna say, well, it's it's extreme because it's such a small percentage of the Muslims who actually carry out these attacks of the worldwide population, but you don't see any pushback or or very little, the the exceptions that prove the rule, right?
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:03.599
When you do actually see or hear, which is phenomenally rare, a Muslim pushback against that evil.
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.639
They show you that that that's the rule and they're the exception.
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:20.000
Hey folks, this is Jesse Cope back with another episode of the American Soul Podcast.
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.120
Hope y'all are doing well wherever y'all are, whatever part of the day you're in.
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:27.439
Sure do appreciate you joining me, giving me a little bit of your time and attention.
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:28.800
I will try and use it wisely.
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:34.560
For those of y'all who continue to pray for me and for the podcast and the writing, thank you very much.
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.680
Uh, for those of y'all who continue to share the podcast and write reviews, thank you.
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:45.680
For those of y'all who've checked out the Countryside Book Series and shared it with others, left reviews, thank you.
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.360
Very, very grateful for all of that, especially the prayers.
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.199
Father, thank you for today.
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.120
Thank you for you, Father, and your son Jesus Christ and your Holy Spirit.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:02.639
Thank you for your love and your mercy, your grace, and your forgiveness of sins through the merit of your son Jesus Christ.
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.879
Please be with those listening to the podcast, Father, wherever they are.
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:18.480
Bless their families and their marriages, their children, their nation, wherever they are around the world listening or across the nation here in America.
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:30.720
Comfort those who are anxious, scared, alone, concerned, depressed, suicidal, overwhelmed, distracted.
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.480
Give us your peace and your joy and your comfort.
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:42.000
Help us to come to you and your son and take his yoke, his burden that's easy and light.
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:49.360
Help us to love you with our whole heart, mind, soul, and strength to love our neighbors as ourselves.
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:55.279
Guide our leaders, our pastors, priests, president, vice president on down.
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.680
Be with our military law enforcement firefighters, EMS.
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.480
And God, my words here, Father, please.
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:03.600
In your Son's name we pray.
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:04.399
Amen.
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.079
Marriage verses for today, Proverbs 27, 15, and 16.
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.000
A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm.
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.920
Restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.360
You can't do it right.
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.639
You can't restrain the wind or grasp oil with your hand.
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:21.839
It just slips through.
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.920
Multiple places in Proverbs talk about how bad it is.
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.399
I heard a pastor talking about this recently.
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:35.279
One of the verses, right, talks about it's better to live on a rooftop alone than with a in a house with a quarrelsome wife.
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.000
And he said, you know what they used to put on their roofs?
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.160
They used to put animal dung on their roofs.
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:50.079
So it's better to live on a roof surrounded by animal dung than live in a house with a quarrelsome wife.
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.720
And that's a warning to both men and women, husband and wives, right?
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.000
Men, do not marry a woman.
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:04.399
Do not yoke yourself, attach yourself to a woman who is quarrelsome.
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:11.680
And women, if you if you want, if you're, especially if you're already in a marriage and you're looking for ways to improve it, don't be quarrelsome.
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.759
Don't be contentious.
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.720
It does so much to tear down your marriage.
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.160
There's a reason God talks about it multiple times, folks.
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.720
Romans 3, 9 through 31.
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.279
Well then, should we conclude that we Jews are better than others?
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:30.560
No, not at all.
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.879
For we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles, are under the power of sin.
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.319
As the scriptures say, no one is righteous, not even one.
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.279
No one is truly wise, no one is seeking God.
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.560
All have turned away, all have become useless.
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.439
No one does good, not a single one.
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.959
Their talk is foul like the stench from an open grave.
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:52.720
Their tongues are filled with lies.
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.279
Snake venom drips from their lips.
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.079
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.
00:07:58.240 --> 00:07:59.920
They rush to commit murder.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.800
Destruction and misery always follow them.
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.720
They don't know where to find peace.
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.439
They have no fear of God at all.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.079
You know, a lot of times today, folks, we talk about fear as a bad thing, but it's not.
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.000
Not always.
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:19.120
There are good times to be fearful of God, right?
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.079
Of our parents, Christ.
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:33.039
Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses and to show that the entire world is guilty before God.
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:38.000
For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands.
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.360
The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:49.840
But now God has shown us a way to be made right with Him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago.
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.559
We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ.
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.240
And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:00.159
Father, we do believe.
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.480
Help us to overcome our unbelief.
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:07.600
Help us to place our faith in your Son Jesus Christ fully and completely each day.
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.200
Your Son's name we pray.
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:09.919
Amen.
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:11.759
For everyone has sinned.
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:18.000
We all fall short of God's glorious standard, yet God and his grace freely makes us right in his sight.
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.559
He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins.
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.159
For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin.
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:32.639
People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:39.919
This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past.
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:45.759
For he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time.
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:55.919
God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.919
Can we boast then that we have done anything to be accepted by God?
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:05.120
No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law, it's based on faith.
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:10.320
So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.919
After all, is God the God of the Jews only?
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.320
Isn't he also the God of the Gentiles?
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:17.440
Of course he is.
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:24.559
There's only one God, and he makes people right with himself only by faith, whether they are Jews or Gentiles.
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:29.279
Well then, if we emphasize faith, does this mean that we can forget about the law?
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.720
Of course not.
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.519
In fact, only when we have faith do we truly fulfill the law.
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:47.840
Neighbors lie to each other, speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts.
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.399
May the Lord cut off their flattering lips and silence their boastful tongues.
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.360
They say, We will lie to our hearts' contempt.
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.120
Our lips are our own.
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:58.480
Who can stop us?
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:04.159
The Lord require replies, I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor.
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:08.799
Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do.
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:14.480
The Lord's promises are pure like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over.
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:26.000
Therefore, Lord, we know you will protect the oppressed, preserving them forever from this lying generation, even though the wicked strut about, and evil is praised throughout the land.
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.600
Proverbs nineteen, thirteen through fourteen.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.480
A foolish child is a calamity to a father.
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.159
A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as a constant dripping.
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:42.159
Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth, but only the Lord can give an understanding wife.
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.000
There it is again, folks.
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.039
Proverbs nineteen, thirteen, and fourteen.
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.200
Don't be a quarrelsome wife.
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.519
Don't marry a quarrelsome woman.
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.440
You want to strengthen your marriage, wives, don't be quarrelsome.
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:04.639
Husbands, make sure you thank the Lord every day if you have an understanding wife, a wife who actually follows scripture.
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:11.840
If you are looking for a family-friendly middle-grade read, if you would check out the countryside series.
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:17.200
Kind of like Narnia The Hobbit, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Fablehaven, that kind of stuff.
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:27.519
And if you enjoyed, if you'd leave a review for the first or the second book on Amazon or Barnes and Noble or wherever you get it, your local bookstore, there's hardback, paperback, ebook.
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:32.080
Those reviews, especially the five-star ones, they help others to find it a great deal.
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:33.360
So thank you.
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:40.399
Same thing with the uh the two podcasts, America's Soul and America's Christian Heritage.
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:51.759
If you feel like you're getting something out of them, if they're useful to you, if you'd leave a review somewhere online wherever you listen to the podcast, and uh the same thing too, the five-star ones, that really helps others to find them.
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:53.600
So thank you for both of those.
00:12:53.679 --> 00:13:01.200
And the last thing, if you have five or ten dollars a month you can donate to the podcast, uh that helps, and the writing that helps keep both of those going.
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.960
So thank you for any or all of those.
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.360

00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:45.279
Assumed command of a detachment of the company which had survived an overwhelming attack of the enemy, and by his bravery and untiring efforts and the exercise of extraordinary good judgment and the handling of his men successfully withstood for two days the attacks of a large force of the enemy, thereby saving the lives of the survivors and protecting the wounded until relief came.

00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:13.200
Buried New Cavalry Cemetery, 204-Tech-2651, Matapan, Massachusetts.
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:16.879
Anthony J.
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:18.000
Carson.
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:32.480
This is a corporal that had to take charge of the whole detachment.
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.759
Likely because everybody else had been killed.
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:39.200
Right.
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:41.759
All right.
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:54.159
So we're going to get into so one of the things that I don't I don't know if we really understand today.
00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:02.639
We don't seem to act like it is how important culture is, our interaction with culture to our nation.
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.679
You know, we talked about education a lot, rightly so.
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.919
Um and I guess I guess there's some people out there that do talk about culture a lot.
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:11.519
But C.S.
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:34.080
Lewis made the comment, I believe in mere Christianity, and we've talked about this on the podcast, that we don't need playwrights, authors, singers, songwriters, artists, teachers, lawyers, plumbers, carpenters, farmers, ranchers, et cetera.
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:41.840
We don't need people that are priests and pastors that fill those positions when we talk about a Christian society.
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:56.960
What we need are we need all of those things CEOs, actors and actresses, businessmen, teachers, custodians, construction workers, et cetera, who are Christian.
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:08.879
We need leaders at every level in your home, community, church, state, nation, who are Christian.
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:30.399
Conrad Hilton, who you might recognize, founder of the Hilton Hotel chain, during the Cold War and the fight against communism, right, he took out an ad in quite a few magazines around the country on july fourth, nineteen fifty-two.
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:36.799
And I think it was a full page, and put this prayer in it.
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:43.440
Our Father in Heaven, we pray that you save us from ourselves.
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:51.279
The world you have made for us to live in peace, we have made into an armed camp.
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.159
We live in fear of war to come.
00:16:54.720 --> 00:17:05.519
We are afraid of the terror that flies by night and the arrow that flies by day, the pestilence that walks in darkness and the destruction that wastes at noonday.
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.039
We have turned from you to go our selfish way.
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.880
We have broken your commandments and denied your truth.
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:20.400
We have left your altars to serve false gods of money and pleasure and power.
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.839
Forgive us and help us.
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:30.240
Now darkness gathers around us, and we are confused in all our counsels.
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.720
Losing faith in you, we lose faith in ourselves.
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:47.680
Inspire us with wisdom, all of us of every color, race, and creed, to use our wealth, our strength to help our brother instead of destroying him.
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:55.359
Help us to do your will, as it is done in heaven, and to be worthy of your promise of peace on earth.
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:06.400
Fill us with new faith, new strength, and new courage, that we may win the battle for peace.
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:13.599
Be swift to save us, dear God, before the darkness falls.
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:30.559
You could absolutely reprint this prayer just as it is today and apply it to communism again and Islam inside the United States because we have a cold civil war going on right now, folks.
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:45.119
And on one side you have the left and Islam, and on the other side, you have those who follow Christ or at the bare minimum acknowledge that Christ is the foundation of the United States.
00:18:48.079 --> 00:19:00.240
Even if they don't follow him themselves as Lord and Savior, which, if you're one of those, I cannot recommend you to uh redirect your course more than anything else in the world.
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:02.480
But that is the cold civil war.
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.559
The lines are already drawn, folks.
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:07.359
You don't have to guess who's on which side.
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:12.079
You know, I mean, you might not know the exact person, but those are the lines.
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.000
Those are they're they're already drawn.
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:16.000
We're already in the cold civil war.
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:24.400
It's just getting closer and closer to darkness falling, to turning hot.
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:26.480
And why?
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.440
Why again?
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.240
Why are we so confused in our councils?
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.400
Why are we so fearful?
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.440
Because we've turned away from God.
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:55.279
We've spent the last decade, decades, multiple, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty years, more and more, ignoring God, denying his truth, breaking his commandments, and most of all, serving false gods.
00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:01.759
Money, sex, sports, entertainment, social media.
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:07.680
We give so much time, you know, it really boils down to what we talk about on the podcast so often.
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:11.440
We claim we want a great faith.
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:13.599
We claim we want a great marriage.
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:15.839
We claim we want to be great parents.
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:23.839
We want to be great at our job, we want to be a great member of our church, of our nation, et cetera, et cetera.
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.000
But our actions don't line up with that.
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:33.680
We give hours to social media, we give hours to sports, we give hours to entertainment.
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:42.559
And then we look at God and say, you really want me to spend 10 minutes today reading your Bible, your word, and praying?
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:45.359
I don't know if I have time for that.
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:54.559
We look at our spouse and say, You really want me to give you attention and time and affection again?
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:56.240
Today?
00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:59.119
This afternoon?
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:00.799
After we just did this morning?
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:02.160
Are you kidding?
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:04.079
I don't know if I have.
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:06.880
Fifteen minutes for you.
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.599
We look at our kids and we say, God, you're so needy.
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:13.119
You want something all the time.
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:14.480
You're so clingy.
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:16.720
You you what do you need?
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:18.559
I've been with you all day.
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.720
We look at our church when they ask us to do something.
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:29.920
No, I don't know if I have time for that.
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.920
I've got time to go out for drinks.
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.720
I've got time to go out and eat with my friends.
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:40.400
I've got time to work out every day, but I don't I can't make that commitment.
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:44.880
We look at our nation.
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:51.680
You actually need me to come in for jury duty?
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:54.640
You need me to serve?
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:01.599
You need me just to teach others about the history of our country?
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:03.920
No, I can't do that.
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:05.200
That's too much.
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.119
We go our own selfish way.
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:13.440
As Conrad Hilton, Mr.
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:14.640
Hilton, said.
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:18.720
There's a solution, though, folks.
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:20.000
There's hope.
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:24.720
It's to turn around and turn back to God and Jesus Christ.
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.400
Be swift to save us, dear God, before the darkness falls.
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.359
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:36.799
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:47.440
Give us the stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not to temptation, but deliver us from you for thine as a kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:48.400
Amen.
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.440
God bless y'all.
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.319
God bless your marriages, your families, your children, your nation.
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:53.359
God bless America.
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:54.799
We'll talk to you all again real soon, folks.
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:56.240
Looking forward to it.
