"Well, first, the first thing I'm going to do differently at him is I'm not going to trust the UFC PI to do my meals again because then I know I'm not going to get poisoned two days before the biggest fight of my life and be puking my guts up 20 times. So that's the first adjustment that I'm going to make. The second one is I'm going to wrestle more because I know who's been scared to wrestle with me. He knows if he gets in scrambles and we have to wrestle and it gets we have to dig deep. He's going to be too tired and he's going to fatigue and it strikes aren't going to be as powerful and he's going to quit. He's a quitter at the end of the day. You just have to take him those deep waters. And last fight I didn't take him to the deep waters because I was sick man. I got food poison two days before the fucking fight. And third, the third adjustment is we're not going to have Mark not so Goddard. Saving his fucking life. That second round, when I kicked him in the liver, he would have been finished. I rocked him a minute before that. And then I kicked him in the liver and his liver was shutting down. He was quitting. He would have, I would have put so many strikes against the case. He would have just gave up. It would have been a TKO there. But no, Mark Goddard saved his life through my life raft and he did it again with the fake eye Pope when he was faking out on the other eye. And you know, so I'm going to have a competent ref that calls the fight fairly and it's down the middle. And you know, besides that I've made a lot of adjustments in my striking game, you know, keeping my hands up a lot more fakes. You know, just a lot more death to my striking game that people are going to see soon. And all thanks to Colby Covington and corporated. Now Rashad Evans opening up his own gym in Florida. Are you going to bring him in? Shit, I might have to, man. I heard he had a fallout with those men who's been treated him like shit. And it's sad because Rashad always had to lose his back. He put, you know, fake newsman on his couch when fake newsman had nowhere to stay and no money and, you know, he brought him up and gave him a gym and gave him an opportunity and helped him out and worked with him. And then for Uzbek had to turn his back and think he's bigger than Rashad and think he's, you know, God's gift to earth because that's what everybody says, you know, the fake newsman thinks he's just better than people now. It's just sad. So, you know, maybe I will hire Rashad. I've always had respect for him and I respect his accomplishments and also dean Thomas started his own gym. I know that dean trains woodley, but I don't think he'd be a post training you. As long as he's not fighting anymore, that might be a dean Thomas. Never heard of him. He was a trainer at your gym. Come on, dean Thomas. Amazing fighter. You have some fighters. Possibly a Hall of Famer. Yes, dean Taylor. I don't know, I don't have that in front of me, but I'm sure I'm sure Joe. I think I remember that guy. His name was didn't do nothing..

I thought you guys vote us. No no no. We voted for centuries. We don't do that and he goes in our patient right before us was. Was this amish man that we are about to do the anesthesia on and he goes. So you're telling me that amish guy wouldn't vote so you kidding me. of course i mean. La any go as it. Ask him so he goes okay. I realize when he walks around what his name was. He's you know. Hey amos also It also were just wondering do you do you. Are you gonna vote in this election on. Never forget on brand new in lancaster county a turns around and he says you better believe i'm gonna vote. He voted in the last election. Is german about this one. And as i just hung my head but then here's the interesting thing i got in the break room in his baptist man. Was there as an eighteen. You might ask you a question. And i said now of course he said just curious on that amish. Men's response is okay please. And he goes so if he's kinda vote. How is he a conscientious objector. And i said what is. How's he going to vote for the commander in chief and then be a conscientious objector. And i said you get that. I said you get that. Most of our people don't get that and i was just amazed to see that here. This baptist man who did not have a two kingdom view. I was able to perceive this thing And that this whole voting actually makes us not able to to have a voice some of these things but yesterday man. Our voice should be prophetic dose dependent word of god and non at a right to vote. Amen yeah brother glen. Would you have some share their. Yes so i i appreciate that. So you had mentioned earlier in the in the lecture that You said the even. Just don't think about some of these questions about you know. Does jesus really mean every word he said you know how does that But evidently it's not just them that don't think about it. You know the story that you just gave this band. He didn't really think about what the contradictions there right. So how do we like Bring that into people's mental consciousness in onto the scene. Look there's a disparity here like this doesn't doesn't work together great question. And this is why. I purposely hit on these little sayings that i do you know..

"After this time agnostic atheism which was always coming encroaching upon germany. That was being pushed away from bible believing christians and mennonites and baptist and and you know the the the conservative lutherans and all. These ones is that they were pushing this away and standing for fe now is like you guys you guys block this you guys. I saw you use sawyer flags in your churches. I saw you. I saw what you did in and they rejected it new wholesale embracing narcissism an atheist. And i fear that the consequences are lip service that we give is. This is more detrimental than we realize. And then here's also a point. They didn't understand the midnights. Didn't know okay. We could maybe argue. They didn't know. Certainly the ones in the paraguayan chaco argue. They didn't know ones. Germany perhaps didn't know. But that's the point that if we get our eyes off kreis and give our lead to something other than jesus. Christ we could end up. Unwittingly giving our allegiance to the antichrist's just like they did. Unwittingly giving our allegiance to the anti christ because we got our our our perspective away from jesus christ and his teachings so god help us and as we go into this with the sheet clothing has been removed and the wolf is there in office and the the democratic party's in all wickedness that they're bringing in and all that i don't i'm not encouraged by that either but hopefully this will wake us up as a people And let's use these things and use our mistakes that we made In this last election is an opportunity to encourage the general concept of a following christ in a radical in rural away so handed over. Let's let's close prayer handed over to the moderator. Let's pray heavenly father. I praise you. God i love you i love you. Jesus i believe in your ways. I i ask god that you have mercy upon me you know how many times fall from trying to take your words literally trade by your grace that you would cause me to be able to walk in that way. God and i- repents in forever turning to the left hand to the right. May your way be exalted. May your cure for humanity be made great. God i pray for all of our churches that are represented here that you would encourage us to take your teachings to go forth and to represents you on this earth and that you would be glorified and beer. We ask you.

"Let's go lose. So how do you share other share screen. You're again okay okay. So we're back to the local so this kind of spirit was just taking over it was it was taking over the church and an everywhere and you do bread. That book is it's what is prophets spy martyr a taxes or something like that by a bond hubbard's of very good biography and he mentions the tension that even his bond hoffer was speaking that even in his group he was kept losing people to nazis. That even knew better that were that were opened the to the his study and looking at those things but still he was just losing lease losing him to the spirit of of nazism. So here's some fascinating things. So here is in the Luther memorial church in berlin and this is the pulpit that you would preach from what appears to be either adolf hitler himself or the very least a nazi stormtrooper kind of figure right. There carved in wood in the berlin Protestant church there is another view of it that you would see in these kind of things. Were just celebrated Everywhere here's also from the the same pulpit You have an etching of the of jesus preaching the sermon on the mouse to the children over his shoulder is the ss. I'm stormtrooper looking on this syncretism. Yes in this this this constantine ism is wicked and it is We don't want anything we don't want any spirit of this In so closet. Republicans cause democrats. Whatever they are. We need christ without the stormtrooper looking over his shoulder there. Then here's the fascinating thing. That i i read in this book and wit and i found the postcard to prove it. So this is martin. Luther 's castle where he translated the The german new test. If you've got a german bible Just new testament the whole bible he translated in this council. Right up to the counselor burns and was hiding out in here and it was pretty impressive. I mean he did it. I forgot the time two months three months. I can't remember. It was like miraculous. How quickly he did that. And this became sort of a a symbol shrine if you would of a protestant Bible Belief in everything here. They're here germany moberg castle and people would go there and even the time of were to it was it would have been a place but they were so excited. I got this from the book here in the digital offer it. They were so excited when germany took over austria and conquered them in an So-called liberated these people in our uniting and this whole force that they wanted to do something to celebrate.

"That's still happen. And so i i take the fault is said okay. Somehow i'm not getting my message across somehow. It's not connecting that facebook and these these politics in these different conspiratorial messages are getting a message across more clearly than i am and i take the fall for that and so that's what gave me the heart to actually dig into some of those things i. I gave a series of messages during right before the election in trying to to encourage those people to to wake up in this to use this as an example for us to wake up. And it's not just the politics. It's it's to wake up and for us to truly stand the kingdom of god concept and the following jesus concept and what that means and how. We're supposed to put those things into practice to quote the notorious. John howard yoder He called when he was speaking of the passage on the phrase John howard yoder says you know calling it. Non resistance is like calling. marriage non adultery in. Oh it's it's it's supposed to be an active thing and so that's part of the message. I think that we we have with with non resistance in with the kingdom teachings that it's supposed to be about putting the kingdoms of the teachings of jesus into practice. I remember when i was at Amu when i was right out of the army and went to a peace center in grade and now i look back on this. Maybe i was a little hard on him. In my book but He's centers tend to be some of the radical the most radical left of the campus. And so i was in there and just hearing the radical things that they were talking about in their different concepts and they were asking me questions and i said you know i just want to be a follower of jesus and so this teaching is only part of my package of wanting to to be a follower and so a pacifist is not what i'm trying to be. I went to see the teaching of jesus come into place and so when we were looking at these things now. I think some of the questions were brought up. What what about you know the left and do you think that they're gonna start bringing in some things that are gonna hurt. A liberties hurt things. I think they're right. I i think that the the left agenda is very evil. I think that it's going to do a lot of destruction on a lot of our freedoms the difference. I would say it's a matter of a wolf or a wolf in sheep's clothing and i don't i don't tend to see conservative. Christians backing that agenda. And so i think me and seven brothers like myself. You know. row john d. here and david and and snuggle up you crying out in this in this. This staying is because of its danger in the way that we just have accepted.

"And that kind of scared because i thought okay. He's letting say is this is not going to go well. This is You know this is not going to be. Good is what i do with this. And so I looked over the others. And i think everybody was felt very clear and it was like okay. No sir we believe that no matter what we want. This is what god wants us to do. Any sort of smile they said. Well that's what i say. Then he looked over and he said. Now i wanna i said but i wanted to let you know that everyone of you have been approved for conscious objector and so it was like a while moment this all this time all this thing and he said okay. You've been approved you are. You've been approved to be conscious objector. Mainly the arm and it was sort of a rejoicing in sort of a you know an army way and then within the moment and then run. We were sort of happy in in that kind of thing. He said he said the way he said. There's there's something that i need to tell you and got really quiet again. That's okay He said i two now and leaving the army for the very same reason why i mean here. The berry guy. That was trying us. That was doing. The court thing was asking these questions that the the seeds of the kingdom had got into his life in that concept. That somebody on this earth just said you know i think jesus means what he says it permeated in hammett grew in him until now he was he. He couldn't stand it anymore. The officers were different. They could they could He was an officer so they could go to a different way to relinquish their commission and that kind of thing was different for us noncommissioned officers and that started my trajectory then We left in and started in my journey. Then of coming into this wonderful and beautiful world of the radical anna baptists in kingdom christians. That i've been a part of since then It's been a journey. And i have indeed found the teachings of jesus to be true that he says if you give up your your lands and your families and your ear your.

"They were Naive later writers like augusta and and different ones. That help them to articulate a better way to embrace the state with the with the teachings of christ in so i thought acid early charge. That's interesting the first time that book introduced to me the concept of constantine and and the concept of people like that and i said well i want to know more about these naive childlike christians. That so there was an interesting bookstore. in this busy town of kaiserslauten germany. We had seventy thousand people there. It was actually two bookstore to stores. There was one that was ran by a man by the name of paul and he had these radical books in your in the basement of his apartment complex and it naturally went out of business. And i think the way i understand he sold all of these radical books to this local evangelical bookstore and so here comes dina tanya and were bebopping around in refining christian bookstore. We go in there. And he's got these kind of radical books. That are not your average once. And i remember in there. I found data book with real heretic. Please stand up. The first book i read though was a was a midnight. One by the name of By ron don john driver. I think it is on how early christians made peace with war and i remember actually thinking that the how they made peace with the war issue. This is exactly what i need but it just made me. It made it worse for his. This this book even talk more about the early church. They'll never forget when you came around the corner from a look at this book and it was david were so and so had these ones on on the early church remember. He also introduced to me in that book. I believe in that About the mennonites about how the early anna baptist were were faithfully. Keeping these things in the books are found. The martyrs mirror bought that there and started to read it..

"To my relief my faith or my life. It was just being was being. Republican being patriotic and being and that was guarding country was part of who i who i was. And what what. I represented in my in my life and i can think of some of the different places. My dad would have taken me to as a child. Growing up in texas like Taking us to the alamo they're-they alamo just the sense of patriotism. And the way my my father would have talked about the alamo in the saints as he would have seen them. Almost there It meant to me. And i don't know if if anything it got from. That was just maybe a respect for people who given their life for something a die for a cause and those sort of things and those things went deep for me in high school. I would have continue this i. It was a very nominal methodist that was raised from there i went to i had friend of mine. Who was going to baptist church. And then they're at the baptist church. The the pastor really preached the bible really preached the bible based at the baptist church. And that really influenced me. I remember that we used to all stand up at the beginning of the church services. My baptist minister it and he would have had us hold our bibles and we'd all say okay. Repeat after me. I believe the bible would. I'll repeat it is the word of god does the word of god. Every word of god is true where the bible disagrees with the way. I believe i will change. And we'd all sit down and that was that was something to me now growing up. I remember you know in that in that same and just looking at the different ways that we would have studies on different denominations and different things and i remember thinking out. you know. we're we're really the right once. And and i felt a lot of confidence in that going into the league going into high school. I met my wife and high school were musicians in the army and as we were as i got the as i got out of we were were musicians in high school and the high school band and then after high school we went and join. I joined the army and ended up becoming an -sition in the army and then she came shortly after me and and she came and versus billion and then we decided to make a career out of the army and from there.

Army he and his wife grappled with the question. What do you. What do meant every word he said. And if you don't have that book. I would highly recommend you get a copy. So welcome team. Glad to have you with us. Thank you very much It's it's been good too good to be with you again. I really appreciate sorry to suggesting something here. I really appreciate what you've done and how you're trying to make as something blessing out of our bizarre kobe situation and everything like that. So i I was appreciate as a read over some of the questions. And and everything. I amid assumed that i'm kind of preaching to the choir and and that's that's fine. I also appreciated that. A lot of the questions were very proactive. In other words they were asking more instead of questions of just general concepts of being Being non resistance or something like that is what can we do and hacking respond. And i think even your questions that you brought. I think at the end of the message Just asking those those very things are we. Are we just sitting here in america and taking advantage of of our of our situation. That's you know people are doing things for us and people are finding worse for us in those kind of things. So i would. I do give just a little bit of my testimony. And there's a few other passages that i wanted to go over. Did quickly this morning and then so just to get the format again. So it's the idea. Is that this. Goes for about another message. Kind of size that i gave this morning. And then you have questions and answers after that. That is correct. Yep sorry i had. It flipped in my mind a little bit. So i'll have to kinda get my slides ready here a little bit but let me start a little bit with my with my own personal testimony and then get into some of that So i was. I was raised in a very very patriotic home. If there's anything that. I think that was typical.

"And how's it harmonize I is one of my favorite harmony passages four at and so of course there's debate that kingdom did satan haven't had to give or was it god's to give nevertheless it would appear that that of course god is the sovereign to that in handed to satan but nevertheless it's interesting that satan is offering that peace and so it's as in read it as in jesus had the opportunity to be in alexander. The great he had the opportunity to be A great leader of this earth and he would just bow to. This system vowed to this earthly politics way Bound to this this concept. Then he could have been that great military leader in great king and he rejected that. And so i. I see this as something that that christians so call have have have failed in century after century from constantine to to the crusades to to to hitler and all those things they they bowed that knee took that bate from satan and he did give them the kingdoms of this earth So yeah i see it as a very much a harmony of scripture there and so we should take the same response. We don't take the pate But we are a king see by not taking the bait pilot says are you a king then. Is that even count me. No i mean. Are you really in the fight. For jesus said yes. You said rightly that. I am a king for this purpose. I am in the earth but my kingdom is not of this world and so we must be very clear that are two kingdoms we are. We do have a kingdom. We do have a fight. We do have a constitution We're not just to have the spiritual world and we have our physical world. We're physically here in the kingdom of god we don't take that satan bait so yeah shared the year. We are in a warfare. We are in a fight. Just we're we're fighting with different weapons you know. When i was in germany i wore american uniform. In those days i vote in american elections played american taxes native american food. While i lived in germany i spoke american english and i don't know if i even knew who the burger meister of of kaiser sloughed loudon was and who was the chancellor of germany was the time and i certainly couldn't have ran for for government there. Why because i was american living in germany the way i see my my place here..

"Roe versus wade as a citizen positions reverse roe versus wade wondering what what should be the response to something like that. It's a good question.

I was really struggling how to where to stand with. Blm and all those sorts of concerns. That were going on is. i'm.

I get nervous about signing and joining the the the secular agendas because usually if you look at it. It's wrapped aside. It's wrapped in something else although my heart of course wants to in in many of these situations roe versus wade seems one. That's very. I wouldn't mind if there was a away a protest. Even that was there. If somehow i could represent myself as a church and not part of that against some evil and we had a prophetic voice. I would i would encourage that Joining in those those marches. I i always get a little nervous. Because of their agendas and i felt myself very torn with these rights. Were happening even here in boston. Thank you that's good thoughts there so now the question of how do we respond to our protestant neighbors and anna baptists or christians who are influenced by reformed theology who equate lack of political involvement as lack of caring. What what can we do about that. It's a fair question and.

"Took as you own. So i i i n that and then bring it to us and just show you that. The caution of how world in these alday used and literally made films to attract the mennonites to get them and to get them on Into this and it and it worked and it was effective. And i think it's effective again. We're going to see it becoming continuing repeatedly more effective and we bought with politics so handed over to you brother and at for rest. Hey well thank you so much deemed. That was really really good. Yeah some really thought provoking things that i've heard you say before ideas have consequences. I'd got a question for you and we have some coming in. This is the personal. One actually serve. Aren't you being a little hard on these. German mennonites mean. They didn't know what was gonna happen. Did they didn't know how bad the nazi regime was going to be. Yeah that's that's been a very. It's a very fair statement and i will say that the minute nights did repent publicly with some things. Unfortunately i think that benjamin goose harvard scholar that he's bringing out is they were more aware than we realize. Mean literally right up the road from some of these major colonies. Thousands of jews were taken and kills This very doctor. Who would have been a active member in the church was actively involved with handing over Handicapped patients to to the government for execution. And that really. There's a deserving more blood on their hands than than realize to say that they didn't understand that that was happening ogrim poland in the russians didn't realize that is really not true. And and seeing that people like Everhart arnold and only very few amount of people were were even pushing back in the slightest. Bit is is just It's just shocking. The the it's it was common though of all the conservative christians have some more slides that they go. And it's not just a minute nights. The every self respecting bible believing christian was getting involved with this. And that's kind of the point The the more conservative. Bob believing you were the more you were. You were held off of this. And here's the point. This is worthy damaged. I think of what happened for this last election. What happened after world. War two in europe is that they was a sweeping change into agnostic system. Atheism and people were like look as if this is what bible believing christians turns into a who wants it. And i'm fearful the that's what's happened here with us with what just happened in the last election. However getting all with all these conspiracy theories and things like that We need to keep our eyes on the message of jesus christ greg question while yeah thanks a lot for that. I guess i was definitely definitely taking the devil's advocate Sitting asking that question.

"Choosing an evil it still a lesser evil. It still choosing evil so as someone who wants to hear constantly choosing the lesser to evil still choosing evil said even surgeon of two evils. Choose neither south We have the kingdom of god. And here's a little modern thing of what we are facing politics over and over again so usually when you go through the history people they will. That's different people when i describe The abuse of this happened in the reformation times or the early church time people say. That's that's what's different now. Here's my point. The same theology given similar circumstances very likely once again create the same results. Yes things are different now in the in the liberals are holding the conservative politician in christian politicians A little more responsible as good glad. The pagans can hold us at bay But given the opportunity you'll see these same things as hyper hyper view. Represents it a once again show itself out it always does. In history ideas have consequences. Ideas have consequences. We are to be on earth as it is in heaven. We as we think of heaven we should be what is to become. That's our concept. That's our our idea of food we should be and how we should acting that way so i'm gonna show you a few examples and then i'm gonna i'm not gonna get into all of them but then i'm just so so how we as people have have fallen in this a probably. Just get from The prohibition into a little bit to work so let's go real quick coming out of the civil war we we were losing non resistance both in america and in Germany particularly germany And then it was. Actually if it wasn't for some of the people like harold s bender in some of the people who found some of the writings there gauchan and started publishing and bringing out some of these things that some of those people they're really helped Identify the church in some of these. These these are very important doctrines so after world war one This is where it was revealed to be a mistakes in world. War one you started to get prohibition prohibition was they were literally trying to get rid of.

"So then then crazy important concept here. Is that the people that are being used of god to serve god's purposes in the sovereignty of this earth and to protect and to move the earth that have his boundaries is this far and no further. He will use them and in their minds. They're just going to war and when we go through all of history are we think of woodward to all the different things are you saying. Then they got. The god. Didn't use america to stop hitler or are these types of things. This verse for here gives us a perfect understanding. That god bait may very. Well i don't know. God may very well be using us in america in a in a in a different way but in their minds they don't even think so. Does that mean then that he blesses america or blessed the assyrians are blesses nebuchadnezzar blesses pilot no and isaiah twelve ten. It goes on to say that he brings judgment against them and because of their arrogant heart and because they said they've done this. I tell you in this last election this last time. I never forget this text. That i are the news article that went out when the president trump and he was going through these different things and and there was a lot of problems. I granted the liberals were attacking and doing different things but when he said this was right before i look as october seventh Just my mind. Immediately to to navigate nezar Any says as i have stated strongly before and just reiterate in turkey does anything that i in my great unmatched wisdom considered to be off limits. I will totally destroy in obliterate the economy a- turkey. I've done it before. A must with europe with others watch already goes. When he said a this i trembled for him. Because i thought while you're following you don't realize you're being used of god in a way that i don't think i use differently than the conservative evangelical us but when you begin to think that you really you are the one that's doing this and your unmatched wisdom and god brings judgment. That is that is very severe. And so all the stories of how god uses different people during wars and different things i think is.

"Me. What have you done. Jesus answered my kingdom is not of this world if my kingdom were this world my servants would fight so that i should not be delivered to the juice but now my kingdom is not from here and and then then and then said well then are you a king dan. I want you to notice that in this because he said he's not abyss world pilot in his greek mind immediately. What does that even count it. Are you really even king. And that's the way we consider this. We think we have our theological brain. We have our physical brain with this. That really count jesus response. Was you same rightly that. I am a keen for this. 'cause i was born. That's a really profound statement and for this. 'cause i have come into the world that i should bear witness of the truth. Everyone is who have the truth here. My voice and so this this concept that pilots said you speak to me you not realize. They have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify. Jesus didn't answer here you don't you don't you know he didn't say that's ridiculous. You don't have any authority and this is a really important point. He acknowledges this authority. Jesus answered you would have no authority over me unless it had been given from above giving you from above so here. Jesus is recognizing the pilot has been given the authority from his father to kill him. And that whenever we talk about bad leadership or bad things and not recognizing different leaderships of the world this point. This clarity of these two kingdoms here need to be very front and center to us as we look at romans thirteen we have to realize. Is that when we coming out of romans. Twelve where the apostle paul is is discussing the basically giving a summary of the sermon on the mount. We come to romans thirteen after. He's just told us that we should in any way. We can live at peace with all men and that we should love our enemies and feed them and bless them. How should we do with the government. And he makes it very clear that the government has been given to us by god given to us by god and he calls him there in romans. Thirteen the leadership a of this world. A minister and that he's been given the sore. A lot has been done with this and and talked about this whole concept of what needs to be this minister and seventies books like this crisis and culture by by niebuhr here by richard niebuhr really challenge the anna baptist perspective and try to tell us and bring us into the center where we're balanced in the world and part of the politics in theological circles there's person by the name of abraham kuyper used a calvinism and now with the the The passion of of neo. Calvinism hybrid is become sort of a a A really popular concept it because because he has this great quote and if you remember in my debate There at hall the the bizarre logic that dr charles was trying to get into about as wife his sister being.
