00:00Welcome to the Constitutionalist Politics Podcast, a.k.a. CTP.
00:07I am your host, Joseph M. Leonard, and that's L-E-N-A-R-D.
00:12CTP is your no-must, no-fuss, just-me-you-and-occasional-guest-type podcast.
00:19I really appreciate you tuning in.
00:22As Graham Norton will say, let's get on with the show!
00:25Hello! Hello, everyone. Welcome to Season 3. I gotta get used to saying that.
00:36Episode 108, according to my note here, my checklist of what I gotta do to get an episode actually put together here.
00:47That's what this is. At any rate, that's one, right?
00:55Yeah, I just told somebody about the ongoing, at any rate, oop, that's two now, joke.
01:02Oh, so indeed, at any rate, Memes 2.
01:09A quasi-follow-up to the memes episode, and of course, so many other episodes that this will relate to.
01:21I'm going to hold this up for the camera.
01:26Thins, signs, thin-as, I apologize.
01:32I'm not sure how you pronounce that handle.
01:35In Christian Lady's group on Gab social media posted this meme about, presumably, a Christian lady in a pickup truck with a cowboy hat for purposes of the transcript and you on audio only.
01:55And over the image, it says, your job is to plant the seed, not change their heart.
02:05Don't get your role and God's role mixed up.
02:10Well, thank you for posting that.
02:13That is the theme of this Season 3, Episode 108, episode of the Constitutionalist Politics Show.
02:25Indeed, shall be known by fruits, right?
02:29Well, more so, reap what we sow, you've heard me say before.
02:40Is prayer alone enough, going back to that?
02:44No.
02:45Two Chronicles.
02:47Pray, change from wicked ways, I shall hear, help heal land.
02:54Change from wicked ways, change from wicked ways, implies actions upon our part to try to change from wicked ways.
03:05God will hear and help, not just wave a magic wand with no action upon ourselves.
03:16Our duties as Christians to make things better, and God will help.
03:27Sow to reap.
03:30If you don't sow an action, right, you've got to sow something to reap something, a required action.
03:40Sitting around on your knees, praying 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year.
03:49Dear Lord, let corn grow in my backyard.
03:55Well, if you haven't, God is not likely to blow corn seed into your yard,
04:04and then indeed help water it with rain, so that corn magically appears.
04:13No, you need to plant the corn, and the tomatoes, and the lettuce, and the cucumbers, and carrots, and broccoli, and whatever else.
04:27If you want something to grow, you must sow the seeds for that to happen.
04:37Hence, the Bible doesn't say God helps those who help themselves.
04:42But it is contextually implied in the you must sow, you must act, you must do things.
04:54God can then help you to help yourself.
05:01Right?
05:03This is not difficult stuff.
05:05Contextually, to understand if you read the whole Bible in its full context,
05:14not just pick and choose something for a false worldly narrative.
05:21And I was going to say at the top, I forgot, this should be a short show,
05:25but how many times have I said that, and an hour later, I'm still rambling, right?
05:30But indeed, your job is to plant the seed that changed the heart.
05:39Don't get your role and God's role mixed up.
05:43But it is our role, our Christian duty, to help sow the seeds of goodness and righteousness.
05:55But if you don't sow any seeds, then you are complicit in the evil.
06:03Only thing required for evil prevail, good peoples do nothing, right?
06:10If you don't sow, then you're part at fault for the rotten garbage fruit that has been reaped.
06:23We're all trying to choke down because you didn't sow good fruit, okay?
06:36Again, like I said, this is going to be short because that kind of sums it up in a nutshell, right?
06:45So indeed, I'm holding up the printed version of the meme.
06:50It's not in focus.
06:52It's not focusing.
06:54For whatever reason, now the whole picture is out of focus.
06:58I will try to insert and video edit for the behind-the-scenes sneak peek version,
07:05the actual meme so you can see it.
07:08Indeed, your job is to plant the seed, not change the heart.
07:14Don't get your role and God's role mixed up.
07:17Get off your butt.
07:19Pray.
07:20Yes, get on your knees and pray.
07:23But also, get off your knees.
07:25Get off your butt, right?
07:27I'm broadcasting again from the ugly couch in my living room.
07:32Now, I've got the picture all screwed up.
07:36I screwed up my green screen.
07:39At any rate, what's that, number four or five?
07:42But indeed, at any rate, get on your knees and pray and ask for help.
07:49But then get off your knees.
07:51Get off your ass.
07:52Get off your couch.
07:54So, goodness.
07:55So that God can help it grow.
08:00Only thing required, a meme I share all the time, an image, an article I wrote at TheLibertyBeacon.com, right?
08:10Only thing required, evil prevail.
08:13Good peoples do nothing.
08:15Get off your hindsight, keeping this a G-rated version of the show, which I usually try to do.
08:26There is one episode.
08:30You may recall I'm looking for it here.
08:33Now, the Chrisley Parton episode, season three, episode 105.
08:39I had to put a warning on that.
08:40Warning, rated E for explicit language because, yes, we get a little loose with the language and some foul stuff comes out on occasions during the Savage Dunn Filters show.
08:55And the only other Chris-titutional politics episode that kind of needed a PG-13 warning is the Am I the Ass?
09:05Sorry, quoting the name of the game there.
09:09I even don't like to use that word normally.
09:12Get off your hindsight.
09:14Get off your butt and do things.
09:18Am I the Ass game?
09:19I urge you to check out.
09:21It's a great game.
09:23Oh, great game.
09:25Please check out that episode.
09:27Please consider buying that game.
09:30It's a good family.
09:32It's a good generational game, as we discussed with the creator of that game there.
09:39To bridge gap between male and female, young and old.
09:43To come to understanding of morals.
09:48It's a question of morals.
09:50Am I the Ass?
09:51Like the one example.
09:53Eloping.
09:54Even though the family wants a big wedding and a reception.
10:00Well, are you an Ass for eloping?
10:04Well, why are you doing it?
10:08What are the reasons?
10:09And, of course, that is more acceptable today than it was before.
10:14So, your answer may not be everybody else's answer.
10:18At any rate, that's off the beaten path.
10:22Thank you all.
10:26Otherwise, I'll just keep rambling.
10:28Thank you all for tuning in.
10:30Take care.
10:31God bless.
10:32Indeed, maybe this is going to be a short episode, as I actually promised it would be.
