00:00It's great to see you and thank you very much to Tony and the church for inviting me to come and speak
00:05and talk about the state of the nation where we stand today
00:10and incorporating that some of the work of Christian Concern as well.
00:17So to get into it, we have a vision at Christian Concern
00:24and it's to see society transformed at every level by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:30And I always say, when we've done that, we'll go home and retire.
00:32So simple job, just got to do that.
00:36And it's a big task.
00:39We've got a lot to do, as you will see.
00:41And the point of the vision really is to say, all areas of society need God's transformation.
00:47They need the gospel.
00:49They need Jesus.
00:49The reign of Jesus is over every aspect of society.
00:53And so we need to see that in all spheres of society, which I'll elucidate some of them.
01:00We particularly focus on law in the courts.
01:03And I'll tell you about some of our legal cases.
01:06Also in the church and trying to reform the Church of England and challenge the Church of England
01:11to be a prophetic voice in synod there.
01:14In the media, several of us get to speak on the radio and TV and stuff
01:19and try and bring a Christian voice, represent the church, represent Jesus in the media, in the public square.
01:25And that's a real privilege to do that and to articulate a Christian perspective of what's happening in the news
01:31and in government as well.
01:32We lobby politicians.
01:33I've been emailing politicians this week about various things
01:36and sometimes speaking to my phone as well and things and meeting with them as well
01:40to try and influence what laws get passed in Parliament.
01:44So our strapline is speaking of Jesus Christ in public life
01:48and we talk about speaking of Jesus and his truth
01:52and we talk about protecting the freedom of Christians to live and speak faithfully for the Gospel
01:58and also empowering Christians to be equipped and engaged with society,
02:03which is part of what I'm doing today tonight with you this evening.
02:08One of our favourite scriptures, I'm sure you're familiar with it, 2 Chronicles 7.14
02:14If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face
02:25and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven
02:31and I will forgive their sin and heal their land.
02:37What an amazing promise.
02:39There's a lot of conditions to it.
02:41You'll have noticed.
02:42They need to do this and this and this and this and this.
02:44But if we do that, if as a nation we do that,
02:47God is faithful and God will turn and heal our land
02:50and our land is broken in so many ways today in this generation.
02:55But this promise still stands.
02:57If the people of God turn and do all that.
03:01And then we also look at the psalmist.
03:03Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
03:06And what a blessing this nation has been because it has had as its Lord, the Lord God of the Bible.
03:14As I'll talk about in a minute.
03:17And so we can think about, you know, why everybody recognises now, I think, that the nation has gone wrong.
03:22We talk about broken Britain.
03:24Broken Britain was in the news this week, wasn't it?
03:26Robert Jenrick was saying broken Britain.
03:28And he wanted to defect to reform because the conservatives weren't comfortable because it meant they broke it a bit and things.
03:35So, you know, but everybody recognises really that the nation is broken today.
03:39And we've fallen so far.
03:40And things are so wrong in so many different areas of ways.
03:43Why is that?
03:44And what happened?
03:45And where did we go wrong?
03:47We had a reminder of the Protestant origin and foundation of this nation and influence on this nation with the coronation of King Charles a couple of years ago now in 2023.
04:00And these words were said.
04:04What a witness these words are, right, to the nation.
04:08In fact, to the empire and to the commonwealth as well, to everybody in the world effectively.
04:13Because the archbishop said to the king, you know, will you to the utmost of your power maintain the laws of God and the true profession of the gospel?
04:24Will you, to the utmost of your power, maintain and as a kingdom the Protestant reformed religion established by law?
04:31Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England and the doctrine, worship, discipline and government thereof as by law established in England?
04:39And will you preserve unto the bishops and clergy of England and to the churches there committed to their charge all such rights and privileges as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?
04:48And the king said, all this I promise to do.
04:53Now, you know, does he take that oath seriously?
04:57Question, right?
04:59You know, I've actually been reading this week a book about the history of the Whigs versus the Tories in the 1700s.
05:06And it struck me because one of the things they did is argued about what oaths people should take in order to have public office.
05:14And they would change the oath.
05:16And lots of people would say, well, I can't in conscience say that oath because that's not what I would do.
05:20And it struck me because we live in an age where people don't take oaths seriously anymore.
05:25They just say the words.
05:27All these politicians go and swear an oath to the king.
05:29They don't believe in the king.
05:30In conscience, they shouldn't take it.
05:32Because an oath is a serious thing, actually.
05:35And the purpose of these words is to be serious.
05:38And I remember watching the BBC, not at the coronation, actually on the day after the queen died, he had to swear a similar oath of accession.
05:46And the BBC, I watched it on the BBC live.
05:49And they said, as these words, similar words to these were said, they said, the BBC commentator said, these words are meaningless words, of course.
05:55And I thought, wow, wow.
06:01I mean, you know, the people who wrote those words, you know, and the way in which people used to take oaths seriously.
06:07And now we've got to a point where everyone says, oh, this is just meaningless.
06:10You just have to say these words.
06:12It's just words.
06:14Right?
06:14But it's not just words.
06:17It actually means something.
06:18There's a promise here that the king had to make, that the Christian said, we want every king throughout every generation to have to swear to preserve the gospel in this land, the Protestant Reformed religion in this land.
06:34And they did it.
06:35And they set it up.
06:36And they've been having to say words like this for hundreds of years.
06:40And it's meant something.
06:42At least it used to mean something.
06:44Right?
06:45And does it mean something now is kind of the question.
06:47And then they present him with a Bible.
06:49They present him with a Bible at the coronation service.
06:52And they said when they presented him, sir, to keep you ever mindful of the rule and gospel of God as the rule for the whole of life and government of Christian princes, receive this book, the most valuable thing this world affords.
07:05Here is wisdom.
07:06This is the royal law.
07:08These are the lively oracles of God.
07:12And you see what's happening here.
07:14You've got all of these symbols of empire, of power, the crown jewels, and all this stuff.
07:20And they say forget that.
07:21The most valuable thing is the word of God.
07:24The most valuable thing in the world.
07:26And this is the lively oracles of God.
07:29This is not just words, ladies and gentlemen.
07:32Right?
07:32This is meaningful stuff.
07:33Obviously, Bible-believing Christians wrote these words, didn't they?
07:38Right?
07:38People who really believed it.
07:40And they wanted every king or queen to be presented with the Bible, saying this is the most valuable thing you've got.
07:48Forget the rest of the stuff you've got.
07:50The most valuable thing you've got is the word of God.
07:53Pay attention to this.
07:55Pay attention to it.
07:56This is for princes as well as ordinary people.
07:59This is for the word of God.
08:00This is for the lively oracles of God, for governing nations.
08:06Right?
08:06What a powerful witness those words are.
08:09But they're disregarded today, aren't they?
08:11Disregarded by so many.
08:13And we've turned away.
08:15There's been a cultural revolution.
08:18I was going to say revelation.
08:20Crazy.
08:21There's a cultural revolution over the last 70 years or so.
08:26You could date it from different places.
08:29I'm dating it from roughly when the queen came to the throne.
08:32I'm not holding the queen responsible.
08:34I'm holding the nation responsible.
08:35In fact, I'm holding primarily the church responsible.
08:39When the queen came to the throne, abortion was illegal.
08:42Today, the statistics that came out this week, one in three babies die in the womb, are killed in the womb.
08:49One in three babies in this nation now are killed in the womb.
08:56That's a massive stain on the nation.
08:59That's a massive sin that we have to atone for and reckon with across the nation.
09:06When the queen came to the throne, less than 5% of babies were born outside marriage.
09:10Now it's 46% of babies are not born to married parents.
09:1546% of babies.
09:18And the impact of that, you know, fatherless children, is felt in all of the crime, all the shoplifting, all of the gangs, drugs, all of that stuff.
09:32It's near 99% of those people are fatherless.
09:35It's that strong, you know.
09:38When the queen came to the throne, there were nearly 350,000 marriages with a lower population.
09:42Now there's less marriages.
09:44241,000 marriages is 16 million more people.
09:48So marriage is declining in popularity.
09:50Less people are getting married proportionately and absolutely.
09:54And divorce from 34,000 to about 120,000 divorces per year with lower marriages.
10:03There's a breakdown of family and all that that entails on the partners and any children and so on.
10:10This is why we're broken.
10:12This is why we're broken as a nation.
10:16And the church has got to be the solution as well as, yeah, I think we've failed to preach the gospel.
10:24That's really what's happened.
10:25We've failed to preach the gospel over the last two or three generations.
10:28We've failed to actually preach a whole gospel that caused the whole nation to account.
10:34We've kind of held the gospel into our churches and not taken it outside and said, look, it applies here, applies there, applies everywhere.
10:40You know?
10:40And it's because the church has failed, I think.
10:43I don't blame anyone else.
10:44I don't blame politicians or anyone else.
10:45I blame the church for failing to speak prophetically into the nation about these things.
10:51So we need to reform the church in order to reform the nation.
10:54This scripture, Jeremiah chapter 2.
10:57Obviously, Jeremiah proclaimed this to the nation Israel, but I think this applies to our nation today.
11:04That's what Jeremiah said.
11:05This is what the Lord says.
11:06What fault did your ancestors find in me that they strayed so far from me?
11:12They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves.
11:16Has a nation ever changed its gods?
11:18Yet they're not gods at all.
11:20But my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols.
11:27And that's what we've done.
11:28We've exchanged our glorious God that made us Great Britain at one point.
11:33For worthless idols and gone so far away, and God is graciously punishing us for that.
11:41So we're reaping the consequences of turning away from God's way in so many ways in so many areas.
11:49I've talked about abortion already.
11:51I'll just elaborate a little bit more on that.
11:54The latest statistics, it's about 10 million abortions now since the Act was passed in 1967.
12:0310 million, think about that.
12:06That's the entire population of Greater London, is it not?
12:11How many cities is it?
12:15It's greater than the total number of deaths in World War II.
12:20Just for comparison.
12:22It's not a bloodless revolution, one could say.
12:24Huge numbers, 240,000, 250,000 a year.
12:32I can't remember the stats now.
12:35Dozens every single working day of abortions that take place.
12:40Lots every single working day.
12:42And this is, you know, it's kind of normalised.
12:46Like I said, one in three, one in three, you know, babies.
12:49And during the pandemic, the government said, oh, you know, stay home to save lives.
12:55Oh, but if you want to kill the life in your womb, we'll have to work out how to sort that out for you, won't we?
13:01So they made it legal for the first time to send out tablets by phone, poisonous tablets to kill the baby in your womb.
13:12So without any scan, without any check on the gestational age or anything like that, these tablets are only safe under 10 weeks gestation.
13:21You can phone up and you can give a fake name and a fake GP service and no checks are done and they'll post you these tablets.
13:32And then at home, people see the fruit and experience the pain with no doctors present.
13:40And, you know, actually one in 17 people who take these tablets end up in hospital because it's actually very dangerous.
13:46It's far more dangerous than paracetamol.
13:47It's not something that should just be sent out to whoever asks for it.
13:51And this was an emergency measure during the pandemic.
13:55And then, of course, after the pandemic, they found time in Parliament to make it a permanent measure.
14:02So this is now the normal way now to have abortion is to over telemedicine, telephone, phone up and the tablets will be delivered to you.
14:11The first tablet, if you take the first tablet, some women immediately regress it.
14:17Oh, my goodness, what have I done?
14:19What have I done?
14:20You know, why did I do this?
14:22And, you know, many women are pressured in this whole area, you know, feel pressure from various ways.
14:28You know, I've got a story to tell about this, but I can't tell it on camera.
14:33And they take this tablet and they feel like, gosh, what have I done?
14:37And they Google quickly, abortion reversal, abortion reversal.
14:40And this doctor here, Dr. Dermot Kearney, was prepared to offer a prescription of progesterone because the first tablet, what it does is it inhibits progesterone for the woman.
14:51And that stops the pregnancy from continuing properly and most likely ends up with the baby dying.
14:57And then the second tablet causes the baby to be expelled from the body.
15:00So if you give an overdose of progesterone quickly, you can probably save the baby.
15:05There's a high chance of saving the baby.
15:07You can't guarantee it, but there's a high chance, about 70% plus chance.
15:10And so this chap was offering this service to women free of charge.
15:17You'd get a prescription ordered to the local chemist.
15:19So they would go to the local chemist the next day, get the tablets.
15:22And dozens of babies have been born healthy as a result of this.
15:26Can you believe it?
15:27The General Medical Council tried to stop him.
15:29So you couldn't do that.
15:30You shouldn't be allowed to do that.
15:31And they tried to sort of get him and, you know, have a disciplinary hearing against him, all of this kind of thing.
15:37Probably the first doctor ever who's been, you know, banned or tried to ban him from prescribing life-saving drugs, actually.
15:47And progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone, as you know.
15:49It's safe to take.
15:52So we helped him.
15:53And I'm pleased to say we got him cleared.
15:55And he's still doing this kind of service to this day.
15:58And there's some of the babies.
16:00And there's about 60 babies that we know of that are now alive and healthy and living.
16:05And the mothers are delighted and so grateful, so grateful for this service that is provided for women.
16:13And so do make people aware of this, if you know about this kind of thing.
16:18We published a report just last year, I think it was, on buffer zones, which is another whole new thing that the government has taken time in Parliament to bring in.
16:29That around abortion clinics, you can't talk about abortion.
16:35You just can't.
16:36If you do, you'll be arrested.
16:39You know, even if you're taking a friend along and you're having to say, are you sure you still want to do this?
16:43They might arrest you for that.
16:44That would be illegal.
16:45Right?
16:46It's actually a blasphemy law against talking about abortion around abortion clinics.
16:51That's what it is.
16:52Right?
16:52That's what they've imposed around abortion clinics today.
16:56And bear in mind, by the way, that abortion clinics are kind of going out of business because of the telemedicine.
17:01Okay?
17:01So, you know, set that aside a minute.
17:03But they still brought this into place.
17:05And this undermines hundreds of years of freedom of rights.
17:09300 years of historical religious freedom.
17:13And it's a breach of human rights.
17:14And people have even been arrested for praying in their minds.
17:19Right?
17:19The police officer says, what are you doing here?
17:20I'm praying in my mind.
17:23And the police officers arrested them for that.
17:26You know, that's a new thing in Britain that hasn't happened for generations and generations and generations.
17:33And in our generation, people have been arrested for silent prayer on the streets.
17:38Right?
17:38It's not what the law says.
17:39It's not what the buffer zone thing says.
17:41But that's what the police think it says.
17:42And they arrest people.
17:44For this.
17:45So, this is a major concern that we're trying to fight and oppose in law.
17:53And then, what just went through Parliament last June in the House of Commons was a vote to decriminalise abortion right up to birth.
18:03Right up to birth.
18:05Did you know this happened?
18:06Right?
18:07They decriminalise abortion right up to birth.
18:08So, a woman can carry out her own abortion right up to the day before it's about to be born.
18:14And they say, oh, it's not murder anymore.
18:16It's not.
18:17There's no crime associated with that.
18:19It's fine.
18:19It only has legal protection once it's out of the womb.
18:22Before that, it's just a clump of cells.
18:25After out of the womb, then it has legal protection.
18:27This is the way the law is going.
18:29Now, this is coming up in the House of Lords just the week after next.
18:34I think it's being debated in the House of Lords.
18:37Maybe they can stop it.
18:38It's hard for them to stop something that's been passed in the House of Commons.
18:40I know people who are trying to propose amendments and stop it and resist it and so on.
18:46It hasn't actually become law yet.
18:47So, it's being debated in the House of Commons.
18:50In the House of Lords, sorry.
18:52And so, you know, please do pray about that.
18:55And polling shows that this is not what people want.
18:57In fact, two-thirds of women prefer a return to in-person appointments.
19:01But an amendment to require in-person consultations, again, was defeated.
19:06They say, no, no, no, we're happy to do it by telemedicine without any scans,
19:09without any medical checks and all of that that's going on there.
19:12So, from beginning of life to end of life, right?
19:16Life matters, doesn't it, right?
19:19So, that's all at that end of life.
19:21And now, at the other end of life, as you may know,
19:24we've got a bill going through Parliament to legalise,
19:27for the first time in this country, assisted suicide.
19:29And that would make it available in the NHS, right?
19:34So that, you know, if you qualify in certain conditions,
19:38then you ask a doctor, can I have assisted suicide?
19:42They have to provide it.
19:43That's what the law would say, right?
19:45The NHS has to provide assisted suicide.
19:47By the way, you can't necessarily get palliative care, right?
19:51There's no law that says you have to have palliative care, right?
19:54But when this law passes, you have to be able to have suicide, right?
19:58We'll definitely give you suicide.
20:00Might not be able to give you palliative care,
20:02but we'll give you suicide.
20:03Would you like that?
20:04Right?
20:05Do you see what this is like, you know?
20:07And people are trying to get amendments in to require palliative care,
20:10and they say, no, no, no, no, no, we don't want to have to do that, you know?
20:13And it's all being debated in the House of Lords at the moment,
20:16and lots of, you know, the law is so bad
20:18that 1,000 amendments have been proposed
20:20by members of the House of Lords to this bill.
20:23And so they're worried about running out of time to debate it,
20:27and so the government said, well, let's give it more time then.
20:29It's not meant to be a government bill.
20:30It's meant to be a private members' bill.
20:32But anyway, you know, they did this, so it's got more time.
20:34And now it's being debated over the next few months.
20:37I'm praying and hoping that it gets defeated,
20:39because it's such an awful law to bring in,
20:44to make suicide something that is normalised.
20:48You know, I read a story about a person who was in a hospital
20:50in the Netherlands where assisted suicide is legalised,
20:54and he was in some pain because of bedsores.
21:00And every day the doctor would come round,
21:03and, how are you today?
21:04You know, well, I've got some pain from my bedsores.
21:08Oh, well, you know, I'm not sure we can do much about that,
21:10but we can offer you assisted suicide.
21:13Imagine that every day, right?
21:16Imagine the psychological toll when you're already suffering,
21:19and you're ill and you're vulnerable.
21:21And he managed to get transferred to a hospital in Britain,
21:24and there doctors came round.
21:26How are you today? I've got some pain.
21:28Let's see what we can do about that.
21:30And they fixed it, right?
21:32So you see, the mentality changes.
21:34Once you change the law, right, you know,
21:37if your duty is always to preserve life,
21:40you work out how to preserve life, right?
21:42Once suicide becomes normalised,
21:44oh, well, we can offer you suicide.
21:46You know, it's so, it's evil, right?
21:50It is actually evil.
21:52So, and then, you know,
21:53we've had a respected commentator in the Times
21:56saying this kind of thing.
21:57We can't afford to do assisted suicide.
22:00The argument is that pressure will grow
22:01on the term of the ill-taste and their own deaths.
22:03That's not a bad thing.
22:04You know, so they're openly saying,
22:08yes, people should feel the pressure to die.
22:11Right?
22:12They're openly saying that.
22:13Now, this had a backlash.
22:14This was helpful for our cause.
22:16It was people like, no, no, no,
22:17that's not the kind of culture we want it to be.
22:20Right?
22:20But the battle is really on over this whole thing.
22:24So do be praying about this.
22:26And if you, you know,
22:27if you are able to write to a member of the House of Lords
22:30to say, you know, please oppose this bill,
22:33please do that as well,
22:34because the more emails or letters they get, the better.
22:37And then, you know, just, you know,
22:39we've been destroying family.
22:42And again, just a few years ago in 2020,
22:46in the highest of the pandemic,
22:47the government found the time
22:49to change the law on divorce
22:51so that it's now no-fault divorce.
22:54So you can,
22:56one partner can unilaterally impose divorce
22:58on the other one for no reason whatsoever.
23:01And six months later, it's done.
23:03It's easier now to get out of marriage
23:05than it is some phone contracts
23:06and some rent contracts.
23:08Right?
23:09That's the disrespect that we have now
23:12in this nation for marriage.
23:14That you can just get out of it.
23:17And you should just be able to get out of it
23:18without anything.
23:19And so we're sort of saying,
23:23oh, marriage is just something that, you know,
23:25if you want to end it, you can just end it.
23:26And there's no penalty.
23:27You don't have to have a reason at all.
23:29You know, it's just something that
23:30you can break it if you want to.
23:33And that's it.
23:35So no consequences for you.
23:37This is a long way from where it should be with marriage.
23:40And then in our schools,
23:41we're teaching people,
23:43teaching young children.
23:44You can see these books
23:45where they're designed
23:46that are aimed at very young children,
23:48alternative family structures.
23:51You can see there,
23:52Jack and Jim,
23:53King and King,
23:54Asha's mums,
23:56Uncle Bobby's wedding,
23:58Heather has two mums,
24:00all this kind of stuff.
24:01Very much intended
24:03to indoctrinate children,
24:04to teach them about alternative lifestyles,
24:07to get them to think about,
24:08maybe this is what's normal.
24:10Here's one book,
24:11My Princess Boy,
24:12which is about a young child cross-dressing
24:15and wanting to dress up as a girl.
24:19And it's normalising that,
24:20saying,
24:20this is fine,
24:21let's celebrate this boy wanting to be a girl.
24:23Let's confuse all the children about their gender.
24:26This is a teaching aid,
24:31it's called the Gender Bread Parsons.
24:34I don't know if you can see there,
24:35but it's got a spectrum between gender identity
24:38and gender expression
24:40and biological sex
24:41and sexual orientation.
24:43It's very much transgender propaganda,
24:46saying that you can be transgender,
24:49people can change their sex,
24:50people can change their gender,
24:51all of this kind of stuff.
24:53This was,
24:54I was listening to a podcast
24:56just a couple of years ago now,
24:58and my young child was in the car with me,
25:01and they talked about this thing,
25:03and they said it's very controversial,
25:04and it's transgender propaganda,
25:05and it's being used in certain places.
25:07And he said,
25:08what is this gender bread person?
25:09So I explained it to him.
25:11The next week,
25:12he came home from school and said,
25:14you never guess what they taught us today, Daddy.
25:16They taught us the gender bread person.
25:19I was like, what?
25:20You know?
25:20So I wrote to the school saying,
25:22is this right?
25:23Did you teach the gender bread person?
25:24Because you're not allowed
25:26to do transgender propaganda in school.
25:28And so I hope you will not do that again.
25:30You'll apologise to me.
25:33They wrote back saying,
25:34oh yeah, no, actually it was taught,
25:36but it was just like for discussion
25:37and alternative views were raised,
25:39and so it was fine.
25:41So I said to my son,
25:42is that right?
25:43Did they raise it as part of a discussion,
25:45and there were lots of views?
25:46No, no, no.
25:47We had to copy it out and learn it.
25:49And here is my copied out thing
25:51of the gender bread person.
25:53So I went back to the school
25:54and said, you're lying.
25:56That's not what you did.
25:57My son was made to write it out
25:59in his class textbook.
26:00It's something to learn.
26:02They said, oh, actually,
26:03now you say that,
26:05that was a mistake.
26:06That shouldn't have happened.
26:10And, you know,
26:11it wasn't what the lesson plan
26:13actually said.
26:14So, you know,
26:16sorry about that.
26:17And there you go.
26:19So I wrote back saying,
26:21please send me the lesson plan.
26:22They refused to send me
26:23the lesson plan.
26:24And, of course,
26:25my wife died at that time.
26:26I didn't take it
26:27further forward at that point.
26:29But the point is,
26:30it was that this is how
26:31they're indoctrinating children
26:33in this kind of stuff.
26:34And we have to stand up to it.
26:35And, you know,
26:36because I did stand up to it,
26:37they won't do that again
26:38in that school.
26:40Right?
26:40They're alert to it now.
26:42Right?
26:42And, you know,
26:43maybe I could have taken it further,
26:44but there were other things
26:45going on.
26:46Oh, and by the way,
26:46that one is now out of date
26:47because it has this horrible thing
26:49called biological sex there.
26:51So they didn't want to have that anymore.
26:52So they changed it to sex
26:54assigned at birth.
26:55Right?
26:56So that it's not biological anymore,
26:58you see.
26:59Now, by the way,
26:59my sex wasn't assigned at birth.
27:01It was recognised at birth.
27:04Right?
27:04You know,
27:05it's not magically assigned.
27:06It's recognised.
27:08It is biological.
27:09This sort of stuff is rubbish.
27:11And here's a lesson
27:13planned from a group
27:14called Educate and Celebrate,
27:15which is a pro-transgender group
27:17that goes into schools.
27:19Look at this.
27:20Christians are prejudiced.
27:22Christians will say
27:23they're not prejudiced
27:24because in the Bible
27:24it states dot, dot, dot.
27:26This means that Christians
27:27will not behave dot, dot, dot.
27:29However,
27:29other people disagree
27:30and point to examples
27:31such as dot, dot, dot
27:32as examples that Christians
27:34are prejudiced.
27:34Overall,
27:35I think Christians are
27:36dot, dot, dot
27:37because dot, dot, dot.
27:39This is anti-Christian propaganda
27:41in our schools.
27:43Right?
27:43Anti-Christian propaganda
27:45deliberately teaching people
27:47that Christians are prejudiced.
27:48This lady,
27:51Christy Higgs,
27:52some years ago now,
27:54posted on Facebook
27:55concerns about sex education,
27:57the kind of thing
27:58that you've been seeing there
27:58that was going to be taught
28:01in her son's primary school.
28:03She worked
28:03as a pastoral assistant
28:05in a different school,
28:07but she was raising concerns
28:08about a programme
28:09that was going to be used
28:10in her son's primary school
28:11just to her Facebook friends.
28:13One of her friends
28:15reported her to the school
28:16where she worked
28:17and she was sacked
28:18for gross misconduct
28:19for sharing stuff like that
28:22on her private Facebook post.
28:26Now,
28:26we took this to court
28:27and it went through
28:29Employment Tribunal,
28:31Employment Appeal Tribunal,
28:32and eventually,
28:33in the course of appeal,
28:35last year,
28:36we won.
28:37And they ruled
28:38that it was wrong.
28:39You can't just sack someone
28:40for expressing their views,
28:41particularly political views
28:42like this,
28:43on a social media post
28:44and she will get conversation
28:47and so on for that.
28:48And it's an important victory
28:50because it sends a message
28:51to employers,
28:52you can't just sack Christians
28:54for saying what they think
28:55or other people,
28:56also other people
28:56who agree with Christy Higgs,
28:58Christian or not,
28:59on this kind of thing.
29:00And so it's really important
29:02to defend the rights
29:03of Christians like this
29:04over this kind of thing.
29:06Imagine Sally Rowe
29:07a few years ago now,
29:08Church of England Primary School,
29:11the Isle of Wight,
29:12their six-year-old son
29:13came home saying,
29:15there's a boy in our class
29:17who sometimes comes
29:18dressed as a girl.
29:20And when he comes as a girl,
29:21we have to call him her.
29:24And when he comes as a boy,
29:25we have to call him him.
29:27And if we don't,
29:28the teachers tell us off
29:29about this.
29:32And so they wrote
29:33to the school saying,
29:34surely this isn't right.
29:35You don't allow six-year-olds
29:36to cross-dress.
29:37And they said,
29:39you're transphobic.
29:41Transphobic bigots.
29:42So they wrote to the diocese,
29:44this is a church of school,
29:45and said to the diocese,
29:46surely you shouldn't be allowing
29:48six-year-old children
29:49to cross-dress in schools.
29:51Diocese wrote back saying,
29:52you're transphobic bigots.
29:54Right?
29:54So then with our help,
29:57they went to the government
29:58and said to the government,
30:00so is this your policy
30:02that six-year-olds can change
30:04and transition in schools?
30:05And the government said,
30:07none of our business.
30:08So then we did a judicial review
30:10of the government's decision
30:11to say it's none of our business.
30:12And the government backed down
30:13and said, oh yeah,
30:14it is our business really.
30:16So we will come up
30:17with some guidance about this.
30:18So then they did come out
30:19with draft guidance
30:20just at the end
30:21of the last parliament
30:21with the Conservative government,
30:23which was a big improvement
30:24on where we are.
30:25But that draft guidance
30:27has not been adopted
30:27by the Labour government,
30:29and so we're waiting
30:30for guidance from them
30:31about this.
30:31And this is the crazy state
30:33that we're in,
30:34in this nation,
30:35allowing children to cross chess.
30:37But the pushback
30:38on transgenderism is big
30:40and is coming.
30:43And it's, you know,
30:44transgenderism is currently
30:45in retreat.
30:46This chap was probably
30:46the first teacher in the world
30:48to be sacked
30:48for misgendering a pupil.
30:50He said, well done girls,
30:52to a bunch of girls
30:52in his maths class.
30:54And one of them said,
30:55oh no,
30:55but I want to be called a boy.
30:56And so they sacked him
30:59for that.
31:00And we helped pursue
31:02a case there
31:02and raised the profile
31:04of this issue.
31:05This lady,
31:07her four-year-old son
31:11was asked to participate,
31:16was made to participate
31:17in a pride march
31:18in school.
31:20And then,
31:22when she complained about it,
31:25he was given a three-hour detention.
31:27A four-year-old
31:28a three-hour detention.
31:30That's so over the top.
31:32So over the top.
31:33And again,
31:34we've challenged this
31:35and done a legal case about it.
31:37And I'm pleased to say
31:38the school has stopped
31:39doing pride marches.
31:41This is what you need to do.
31:42You need to stand up
31:43against this kind of stuff.
31:45This is a lady.
31:46We can't reveal her name.
31:49So we call her Hannah.
31:51And she lost her job
31:52after raising safeguarding
31:53concerns about an eight-year-old
31:55that the school said,
31:57next term,
31:57this eight-year-old girl
31:59will be a boy.
32:01And she said,
32:02no, no, no,
32:03but this is not right
32:04because these parents
32:06are abusing this child
32:09and there are issues here
32:10and so on.
32:11And she raised
32:12safeguarding concerns about it.
32:13Safeguarding used to trump everything.
32:15But now,
32:16transgenderism trumps everything.
32:17So she lost her job
32:20and she's now working
32:20in a sandwich making place.
32:23And again,
32:23we're helping her
32:24run a legal case
32:25to try and challenge that.
32:28And I think
32:29we probably will end up
32:30winning on this
32:31because the tide
32:32is turning
32:33on all of this stuff.
32:35I'm conscious of time,
32:36so I'm going to just
32:37sort of skip over
32:38one or two slides maybe.
32:40So,
32:41this guy
32:43was expelled
32:45from university
32:46for posting on Facebook
32:48his belief
32:49that marriage
32:50is between a man and a woman
32:50and that sex
32:52is reserved for marriage.
32:54He's doing
32:55a social work course
32:56that would have led
32:58to a qualification
32:59enabling him to
32:59practice as social worker.
33:02And he just,
33:03he's got involved
33:04in a debate
33:04on Facebook,
33:05on his private account,
33:06not linked to the university
33:07at all.
33:08And one of his
33:09Facebook friends
33:10spotted what he'd said
33:12and reported him
33:14to the university.
33:14This student
33:16is terrible.
33:17He believes
33:17in marriage.
33:19How bad is that?
33:22And the university
33:22should have said,
33:23who cares?
33:25But they didn't.
33:26They said,
33:27that's terrible.
33:30Are expelled
33:31from university
33:32for this.
33:34Right?
33:34Expelled from university.
33:36So,
33:37so they expelled him.
33:38And
33:39in court,
33:41the university said,
33:43however politely
33:44and moderately
33:44expressed,
33:45such views
33:45should be a bar
33:47to the profession.
33:48Such views.
33:49Right?
33:49So,
33:49if you believe
33:50in marriage,
33:51two man and woman,
33:52and,
33:53you know,
33:53sex is just reserved
33:54for marriage,
33:55that's too bad.
33:57That's so bad,
33:59it's like,
33:59it's almost like
34:00being a Nazi.
34:01Like,
34:01you can't be a social worker
34:02and believe that.
34:03That's terrible.
34:05Right?
34:05Because,
34:06what would people think?
34:09Right?
34:09Well,
34:09what would people think
34:10of you?
34:11You know?
34:11How threatened
34:12might somebody feel
34:13who has an LGBT identity
34:15if they know
34:16you believe in marriage?
34:18Goodness me.
34:20Right?
34:20And so,
34:21it went to court
34:22and in the court,
34:24the judges asked
34:25the university lawyers
34:27and they said,
34:27well,
34:28you know,
34:28so,
34:28if somebody says
34:30this kind of thing
34:31in their home,
34:34would that be alright?
34:36And they said,
34:37well,
34:38not if somebody else
34:40hears it.
34:43I know,
34:43if somebody said it
34:44in church,
34:45would that be alright?
34:46No,
34:47because somebody
34:47might hear it
34:48and know what
34:50they believe.
34:52And they said,
34:53well,
34:53you know,
34:54would this disqualify
34:55Mother Teresa
34:55for being a social worker?
34:57Yes,
34:57if that's what she believes.
34:59At that point,
34:59the judges are like,
35:00no, no, no.
35:01We're not going to ban
35:02Mother Teresa
35:02for being a social worker
35:03and we won the case.
35:05Right?
35:06And he went back
35:07to Sheffield University
35:08and finished his course
35:11and qualified
35:12as a social worker.
35:14Praise God.
35:15Right?
35:16Only to find
35:17that he applied
35:19for a job
35:20and was offered
35:22the job
35:22and then they saw
35:24who he was.
35:26Oh my goodness.
35:27He believes
35:28in marriage.
35:30He believes
35:31in John 3.16.
35:32We sang that,
35:33didn't we?
35:34Right?
35:34Did anyone else
35:35believe those words?
35:36Gosh,
35:37not any of you.
35:38Some of you must do.
35:40And this is what
35:42they now say,
35:42right?
35:44Expressing
35:44John 3.16,
35:46expressing belief
35:47there are only two genders
35:48or either of those two
35:50could be triggering
35:51and lead to death.
35:54People might commit suicide
35:55if they know
35:56you believe this.
35:59That's actually
36:00what they're arguing
36:00in court.
36:01Right?
36:01The actual argument
36:03is
36:04this is dangerous
36:05beliefs.
36:06People will feel
36:07suicidal
36:08if they know
36:09that you believe
36:10John 3.16
36:10or you believe
36:12there are only two genders.
36:14Right?
36:15It's called
36:15minority stress theory.
36:17Right?
36:17So this is now
36:18what we're having
36:19to challenge
36:19in court.
36:21They can't employ
36:21someone like Felix
36:22because of his views
36:23on sex and gender
36:24might damage
36:25the mental health
36:25of people
36:26qualifying
36:26identifying
36:27as LGBTQ.
36:29And they might
36:31even kill themselves
36:32if they discover
36:32it's a Christian.
36:34And so
36:35we're defending
36:35him in court.
36:36They went to court
36:37just last year
36:37and that was
36:40in the April Tribunal
36:40just last year
36:41and we could hear
36:42the results of that
36:43any day now.
36:44So pray
36:44that we win
36:46that case
36:46because it's
36:46a very important
36:47case
36:47because if they
36:48win that case
36:50then it's
36:51game over
36:51for Christian
36:52employment.
36:53Right?
36:53In lots of areas.
36:55Right?
36:55They're trying to
36:56justify banning
36:57any Christians
36:57from being in
36:58a whole load
36:59of areas of
36:59employment
37:00on this basis.
37:01Right?
37:02So we have to
37:03win that case.
37:05This doctor
37:06was fired
37:07because he went
37:08to qualify
37:10as a disability
37:11assessor
37:12for Department
37:12of Work and Pensions
37:13and they
37:14hypothetically
37:14asked him
37:15if a bearded
37:17man,
37:17a six foot bearded
37:18man came to
37:18your clinic
37:19and said
37:19call me madam
37:20would you do so?
37:21And he said
37:22well in conscience
37:22no I would not.
37:24Do that
37:24because
37:25it's a man.
37:28Right?
37:28In that case
37:29goodbye.
37:30You can't do
37:30this job.
37:32And so anyway
37:33it went to court
37:34and when it
37:35first went to court
37:36this is what
37:36the judgment
37:37said.
37:38Right?
37:39The judge
37:39wrote this
37:40in the judgment.
37:40He said
37:41belief in
37:42Genesis 1.27
37:43Do you know
37:43what Genesis
37:441.27
37:44says?
37:46Right.
37:47Yeah.
37:47Male and female
37:47he created them
37:48in the image
37:48of God
37:49he created them.
37:49Does anyone
37:49believe that
37:50here today?
37:51Oh good.
37:52Some of you
37:53do.
37:53Good.
37:54Watch out though
37:55because what
37:55the judge said
37:56right?
37:57That belief
37:58in Genesis
37:591.27
38:00or lack of
38:01belief in
38:01transgenderism
38:02and conscientious
38:02subjects of
38:03transgenderism
38:03are in our
38:04judgment
38:04are incompatible
38:06with human
38:06dignity
38:06and conflict
38:07with the
38:08fundamental
38:08rights of
38:09others.
38:09Just the
38:10belief.
38:12Just the
38:13belief.
38:14You've just
38:14violated people's
38:15human rights
38:16by admitting
38:16your belief
38:17in the Bible
38:17ladies and
38:18gentlemen.
38:18according to
38:19this judge
38:19right?
38:21By the way
38:21that verse
38:22all people
38:23in the image
38:24of God
38:24that's the
38:25foundation
38:25of human
38:25rights.
38:26Isn't it?
38:27Right?
38:28So he's
38:28saying the
38:29very foundation
38:30of human
38:30rights is a
38:31violation of
38:32human rights
38:32you couldn't
38:33make it up
38:33could you?
38:35Right?
38:35Anyway we
38:36got that
38:36judgment
38:37overturned
38:38I'm pleased
38:38to say.
38:39Right?
38:39So in fact
38:40it's overturned
38:41so that
38:41these beliefs
38:42are now
38:43respected
38:44beliefs
38:44in a
38:45democratic
38:45society.
38:46Right?
38:46So it's
38:47not like
38:47that.
38:48Right?
38:48But this
38:48is what
38:49judges
38:49think.
38:51Right?
38:51This is how
38:51far we've
38:52gone.
38:52A judge
38:52would write
38:53that in
38:54a judgment.
38:55Right?
38:56We also
38:56defend
38:57street
38:57preachers
38:58and
38:59we've
39:00got a
39:01nearly
39:01100%
39:02track record
39:02of defending
39:03street
39:03preachers
39:03on the
39:04streets
39:04because
39:05the law
39:06actually
39:07protects
39:07the right
39:08to preach
39:08the gospel.
39:09The police
39:09don't think
39:10it does.
39:10The police
39:11think if
39:11you've
39:11been
39:11Islamophobic
39:12homophobic
39:12transphobic
39:13that's
39:14terrible.
39:14If
39:14someone's
39:15offended
39:15that's
39:16an
39:16offence
39:17no it's
39:17not.
39:18No it's
39:19not.
39:19And we
39:19keep having
39:19to say
39:20no it's
39:20not,
39:21no it's
39:21not,
39:21no it's
39:21not,
39:21no it's
39:21not,
39:22every time
39:22we go
39:23to court
39:23and we
39:23win.
39:25Right?
39:25Every time
39:26we go
39:26to court
39:26we win
39:27because it's
39:27not an
39:28offence
39:28to do
39:29that.
39:29But the
39:30point is
39:30the police
39:30think it
39:31is and
39:31their lawyers
39:32argue it
39:32is but
39:33it is
39:33not.
39:36In this
39:37case the
39:37Crown
39:37Prosecution
39:38Service
39:38said there
39:39are
39:39references
39:39in the
39:39Bible
39:40which are
39:40no longer
39:45like we
39:46got them
39:47to withdraw
39:47that
39:47statement.
39:48Right?
39:49But going
39:49back to
39:50the
39:50coronation
39:50right?
39:51The most
39:51valuable
39:51thing in
39:52the world
39:52and now
39:53the Crown
39:53Prosecution
39:54Service
39:54saying
39:54quoting the
39:55Bible
39:55should be
39:56an offence
39:56on the
39:57streets.
39:58Right?
39:58It is
39:59not an
39:59offence
40:00but they're
40:00trying to
40:01make it
40:01an offence.
40:03This
40:03chap was
40:04actually
40:04convicted
40:05originally
40:05and we
40:06got his
40:06conviction
40:06overturn
40:07of
40:07misgendering.
40:09He was
40:10engaging
40:10the people
40:11on the
40:12streets
40:12in
40:12conversation.
40:13One
40:13person
40:14came and
40:14asked him
40:14a question
40:15and he
40:16said to
40:16the crowd
40:16this gentleman
40:17here
40:17who wanted
40:19to be
40:19identified
40:19as a
40:20woman
40:20but he
40:21wasn't
40:21a woman
40:21he's
40:21a
40:21gentleman
40:22and then
40:23he complained
40:24to the
40:24police
40:24the police
40:24arrested
40:25him
40:25he was
40:26convicted
40:26when he
40:27came to
40:27us
40:27we said
40:28okay
40:28we'll
40:28challenge
40:29this
40:29and we
40:29got it
40:29overturned
40:30in court
40:31in court
40:31they said
40:31how do
40:32you know
40:32he's a
40:32gentleman
40:32he said
40:33on the
40:33evidence
40:33of my
40:33own
40:34eyes
40:34your
40:35honour
40:35Hassan
40:38Tash
40:39regularly
40:41some of
40:41you go
40:42to
40:42High Pot
40:43Corner
40:43regularly
40:43you probably
40:45and she
40:46has been
40:47stabbed
40:48and assaulted
40:49and beaten
40:51and knocked
40:52to the ground
40:53and had
40:53things stolen
40:54from her
40:54and none
40:55of the people
40:55who have
40:55done that
40:56have ever
40:56been arrested
40:56by the
40:57police
40:57but she's
40:59been arrested
41:00several times
41:01and we've
41:02had to go to
41:03the police
41:03and sue
41:03the police
41:04and say
41:04you shouldn't
41:05have arrested
41:05her for this
41:06because she
41:06did nothing
41:07wrong
41:07and twice
41:08they've
41:09paid
41:09ยฃ10,000
41:12conversation
41:13twice
41:13to her
41:14for wrongful
41:15arrest
41:15because
41:15we've
41:16challenged
41:16it
41:16but she's
41:18a very
41:19effective
41:19evangelist
41:20she reckons
41:20she's seen
41:20over a thousand
41:21Muslims
41:21convert to
41:22Christianity
41:22including
41:2316
41:24Imams
41:25and so
41:26it's very
41:28important to
41:28defend what
41:29these street
41:29preachers do
41:30because it
41:30is often
41:31very effective
41:32and then
41:33we're going
41:34into Islam
41:35now
41:35and at
41:37the last
41:37election
41:37which was

42:24got that
42:24one
42:24yeah
42:25another one
42:26was end
42:26military
42:27ties with
42:27Israel
42:27not quite
42:28done that
42:28yet
42:28Muslims
42:29being allowed
42:30to pray
42:30at schools
42:31that's
42:32demanding a
42:33prayer time
42:34every day
42:34which is
42:35a very
42:35you know
42:37intense
42:38cultural change
42:39on schools
42:40adopt the
42:41APPG
42:41definition
42:42of lump
42:42failure
42:42hopefully
42:43I'll have
42:43time to
42:43talk about
42:43that
42:44Sharia
42:44compliant
42:45pensions
42:45every workplace
42:46and remove
42:46the spiritual
42:47influence law
42:47which again
42:48hopefully I'll have
42:48time to
42:49talk about
42:50so Muslims
42:51were more than
42:5150% of the
42:52population
42:52in four
42:53constituencies
42:54at the
42:54last
42:55election
42:56and
42:5730
42:59constituencies
43:00with over
43:0025%
43:01of the vote
43:01and
43:02120
43:03constituencies
43:04over 10%
43:05of the vote
43:06most
43:06constituencies
43:08the difference
43:08to winning
43:09or losing
43:09is less
43:10than 10%
43:10of the vote
43:11so the Muslims
43:12in that sense
43:13could swing
43:13the vote
43:14in over 100
43:14constituencies
43:15today
43:16and
43:17this is
43:19I could talk
43:20a lot more
43:20about this
43:21and I've
43:21written this
43:22book
43:22The Challenge
43:23of Islam
43:23which was
43:24published
43:24last year
43:25about Islam
43:26and I'd love
43:26to spend
43:27more time
43:27talking about
43:27it
43:28but
43:29haven't
43:30really
43:30got time
43:30today
43:31to get
43:32into that
43:32more
43:32other
43:34cases
43:34this chap
43:36tweeted
43:36about pride
43:37not being
43:37good for
43:38children
43:38he got
43:40harassed
43:41he got
43:42people
43:42turning up
43:42at his
43:43house
43:43to offer
43:44funeral
43:44services
43:45for him
43:46when he
43:46was out

43:47wife
43:47they had
43:47death threats
43:48and stuff
43:49anyway
43:49we took it
43:50to court
43:50and he won
43:51the case
43:51for discrimination
43:52because you
43:53can't just
43:53sack
43:53someone
43:53for a
43:54tweet
43:54like that
43:55Bernard

44:15into the
44:16school
44:16indoctrinating
44:17children
44:18and
44:18transgenderism
44:19and one
44:19of the
44:20people
44:20said to
44:20him
44:20I thought

44:21a Christian
44:21school
44:22why are
44:22we
44:22having
44:22all
44:22this
44:22stuff
44:23and he
44:23thought
44:23it was
44:24a good
44:24question
44:24so he
44:24preached
44:25a sermon
44:25saying you
44:26don't have
44:27to believe
44:27that stuff
44:28you can

44:29your own
44:29mind
44:30you can
44:30choose
44:31what to
44:31believe
44:31you might
44:32not
44:32you don't
44:33have to
44:33agree
44:33with it
44:33that was
44:35what he
44:35said
44:35he didn't
44:36say it's
44:36wrong
44:37it was
44:39quite a
44:40mild
44:40sermon
44:40he now
44:41regrets
44:42not being
44:42stronger
44:42because he
44:43got sacked
44:44for it
44:44anyway
44:44right
44:45they sacked
44:48him for
44:48this
44:49sermon
44:49and not
44:50only that
44:51they referred
44:51him to the
44:52counter-extremism

45:02the church
45:03of England
45:03has him
45:04down as a
45:05safeguarding
45:05risk so he
45:06can't preach
45:07in any church
45:07in the land
45:08that's how it
45:10is to this
45:10day

45:14every secular
45:15group but
45:16not by the

45:19still have
45:19a legal
45:19case
45:20progressing
45:20through the
45:21court
45:21slowly
45:21various
45:22reasons
45:22it's
45:23taken
45:23longer
45:23we've
45:24had to
45:24get
45:25judges
45:25recused
45:26for bias
45:26because
45:26they're
45:27LGBT
45:27campaigners
45:28and things
45:28like that
45:29so they've
45:29had to
45:29start again
45:30and things
45:30just takes
45:31a long
45:31time
45:32and the
45:32punishment
45:33is the
45:34process
45:34in a way
45:35so do
45:36pray for
45:36him
45:37because it's
45:37hard
45:37going through
45:38this process
45:39and he
45:39feels called
45:40to minister
45:40and preach
45:41and he
45:41can't
45:42and we're
45:43really trying
45:43to challenge
45:44this
45:44and here's
45:46a newspaper

49:01case this
49:02coming Tuesday
49:03about this
49:04case
49:04and it's
49:06attracted a lot
49:06of attention

49:08ridiculous is
49:09this
49:09you've got to
49:10be able to
49:10call someone

49:22win it
49:23and I think
49:23we will win it
49:24and there
49:27are various
49:28other issues
49:28coming up
49:29like conversion
49:30therapy
49:31where the
49:31government has
49:32promised to
49:32bring out
49:33a draft
49:33bill
49:34banning
49:35conversion
49:35therapy
49:35which is
49:36actually
49:37conversations
49:38you know
49:40if I'm
49:41struggling
49:41with sexual
49:42temptations
49:43of certain
49:44kinds
49:44I ask
49:45you to
49:45talk to
49:46me about
49:46it
49:46or pray
49:47for me
49:47about
49:47it
49:47you
49:48if this
49:49law
49:49came in
49:49place
49:49could be
49:50committing
49:50a criminal
49:50offence
49:51by having
49:51that
49:52conversation
49:52or having
49:53that
49:53prayer
49:53right
49:54so we've
49:55got to
49:55stop this
49:56from becoming
49:56law
49:56and we will
49:57work hard
49:58to try and
49:58stop it
49:59becoming
49:59law
49:59and I'm
50:00pleased to
50:00say when
50:00we first
50:01started talking
50:01about this
50:02very few
50:02people were
50:03prepared to
50:03stand with
50:04us
50:05but now
50:05we've
50:05explained it
50:06better and
50:07more and
50:07more people
50:07are getting
50:08it and
50:08non-Christians
50:08as well
50:09are getting
50:14there's a
50:14big backlash
50:15coming if
50:16they bring
50:16this in
50:16and I'm
50:17hoping they
50:17won't but
50:18at the
50:19moment they
50:19intend to
50:20and that's
50:20where we
50:20are on it
50:21so to
50:23conclude
50:24this saying
50:26is attributed
50:27to Martin
50:27Luther and
50:28I think it's
50:28very appropriate
50:29for our
50:29day to day
50:30it says
50:30this
50:31if I
50:31profess
50:31with the
50:32loudest
50:32voice and
50:32the
50:33clearest
50:33exposition
50:33every portion
50:34of the
50:35word of
50:35God
50:35except
50:36precisely
50:36that little
50:37point
50:37which the
50:38world
50:38and the
50:39devil
50:39are
50:39attacking
50:40and not
50:41confessing
50:41Christ
50:41however
50:42boldly
50:42I may
50:42be
50:42confessing
50:43him
50:43where the
50:44battle rages
50:45there the
50:45loyalty of
50:46the soldier
50:46is proved
50:46and to be
50:47steady of
50:47all the
50:48battle
50:48besides
50:48is mere
50:49flight
50:49and disgrace
50:50if he
50:50flinches
50:51at that
50:51point
50:52so the
50:53point is
50:53we need to
50:56preach the
50:57whole counsel
50:57of God
50:58and perhaps
50:59especially
51:00those bits
51:00that are
51:01under attack
51:01in our
51:02culture
51:02today
51:03and that
51:04is particularly
51:04sexual ethics
51:06today
51:06and if we're
51:08not we're
51:08avoiding those
51:09topics
51:09then we're
51:10basically
51:10coming out
51:11of the
51:12battle
51:12and not
51:13engaged
51:13in the
51:14battle
51:14as we
51:15see it
51:15today
51:16we do
51:16run a
51:17workforce
51:18academy
51:18for young
51:19professionals
51:20we give
51:21them a
51:21week-long
51:21intensive
51:22training course
51:23on where
51:24we are in
51:25our culture
51:25and how to
51:26resist and
51:27how to be
51:27part of the
51:27resistance
51:28and part of
51:29the Christian
51:29coming revival
51:30which I hope

52:06Charles Spurgeon
52:06from over 100
52:07years ago
52:08I believe one
52:08reason why the
52:09church of God
52:09at this present
52:10moment has so
52:11little influence
52:11over the world
52:12is because the
52:13world has so
52:14much influence
52:15over the church
52:16and that's even
52:17more true today
52:18than it was then
