Speaker: Well, hello, welcome to the Preacher Dad podcast.
Speaker: This video version is brought to you by Cornerstone Fellowship.
Speaker: Cornerstone Fellowship is the first sponsor of the Preacher Dad podcast, and we are glad to have them here.
Speaker: If you need a good church to visit, a place where you'll be loved and accepted for who you are,
Speaker: but still challenged to grow closer to the Lord, to learn who He is and what He is like, you should come on over to Cornerstone Fellowship.
Speaker: You can find out about our church at cornerstonefellowship-ga.org.
Speaker: Well, here I am on the way home.
Speaker: I was traveling on the road here.
Speaker: And just listening to the events that are happening in our world.
Speaker: And just once again, the division that comes to the world.
Speaker: The lines are becoming more and more clear.
Speaker: The division between what is right and good.
Speaker: What is evil and wicked?
Speaker: It's like just more and more and more you have to pick a side.
Speaker: You're not allowed to walk the fence or to be neutral or have some sort of gray area.
Speaker: You've got to pick a side.
Speaker: That is becoming more and more evident as we go along.
Speaker: And I have seen that developing over the past 10 years or so.
Speaker: And it is since October the 7th, since the nation of Israel was attacked in a vicious, brutal, wicked, demonic way.
Speaker: The raping and murdering of women and children, beheading babies,
Speaker: This kind of horrific thing has been happening a lot of places, but this was a very evident, obvious attack upon innocent people just because they're Jewish.
Speaker: And all of a sudden, the modern-day Nazis of the world came out of the wall.
Speaker: It's like the ship is sinking or...
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: We set a match to the shed and all the roaches and rats just came running out of the building.
Speaker: Because it is astounding to me, the hatred, the anti-Semitism, the vicious, the celebration, the celebration of the vicious murder of innocent children.
Speaker: The torture of innocent people and how that's celebrated by pro-Hamas organizations and groups in the United States of America and other places in the world, it's astounding, it's shocking.
Speaker: It's shocking a lot of people, and rightly so.
Speaker: But it's making that dividing line
Speaker: that line in the sand is growing more and more stark so that if you are willing to defend Hamas' attack, no matter what you think their justifications are or the things that you believe Israel has done that are wrong or if you're a supporter of a two-state solution, I would like to inform you that Hamas,
Speaker: is not a supporter of a two-state solution.
Speaker: The Palestinians are not.
Speaker: in favor of a two-state solution because they've had the opportunity many times over the decades to have a two-state solution and they have rejected it.
Speaker: So that's not even on the table as far as they are concerned.
Speaker: Their desire is to wipe out the nation of Israel, to see every Jew burned alive.
Speaker: That's what they want.
Speaker: And, you know, even if you...
Speaker: think that they have some sort of justification or some sort of grievances, it doesn't justify the murder of innocent people any more than whatever legitimate... You know, even if the Nazis had had, and I don't believe they did, but even if the Nazis had some sort of sincere grievance against the Jewish people, it wouldn't justify gassing children, men, women, and children
Speaker: millions upon millions of innocent people killed.
Speaker: So the people that are supporting Hamas and are pro-Palestinian, doing despicably horrible things all over the country, those people are being fomented and driven by, I believe, a demonic spirit.
Speaker: And that type of evil is so bad
Speaker: That you just, even people that don't have faith say, that can't be right.
Speaker: That's evil.
Speaker: That is evil right there.
Speaker: That line is becoming very clear.
Speaker: And I certainly know that Israel is not above sin.
Speaker: Just read the Bible.
Speaker: Just a little bit and you will see Israel is not above sin.
Speaker: They are not above doing wicked and evil things.
Speaker: I stand with Israel and I believe that God loves Israel and is even now working their redemption as he is working the redemption for all of us because God loved the world and gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Speaker: God sent his son as a Jew
Speaker: as a descendant of Abraham, to save the world, to save the nation of Israel, but the world was always part of the plan.
Speaker: But God does have a certain special love for the nation of Israel.
Speaker: And I do too, and I don't think that that diminishes God's love for me, just because he has, I don't know, I can't say that he loves Israel more than me, because I'm a good old Gentile boy, let me tell you.
Speaker: He doesn't love Israel more than me, but... I don't know.
Speaker: There's just something special about it.
Speaker: I don't think that that... that diminishes me at all.
Speaker: I'm happy for Israel to have... I don't know, a soft spot in the heart of God.
Speaker: And I have a soft spot for Israel myself.
Speaker: So I stand with Israel.
Speaker: And I...
Speaker: applaud those who are defending her, who are going to root out the evil men that are bringing such destruction upon their country.
Speaker: I just have to say that that line is becoming more and more clear.
Speaker: And I think that that is important for us to pick a side.
Speaker: We need to pick a side.
Speaker: We ought not to be sitting on the sidelines.
Speaker: We need to get involved.
Speaker: And if you're afraid to say, I stand with Israel, you need to have a reality check.
Speaker: Because if you can't say, when someone is completely innocent,
Speaker: And a bully comes along and punches them in the face, kicks them when they're on the ground, and attempts to disfigure their face in horrific ways.
Speaker: Completely innocent person, and the bully's trying to hurt them.
Speaker: And you're not willing to stand up to that bully and say, that's wrong, you have to stop it.
Speaker: You have to go through me to get to that other person on the ground.
Speaker: If you're not willing to do that, then you need to check your bravery.
Speaker: You need to check and see whether or not you're a coward.
Speaker: And if you're not willing to defend Israel, to say, I stand with Israel, when they are defending themselves against the horrific murder of their citizens.
Speaker: And if you can't say that, your priorities are out of place.
Speaker: It's awful to me that Israel would be accused of lying about this so much so that they have to release graphic video of the things that actually happened.
Speaker: And I suppose it's because people just don't want to believe that other human beings are capable of doing that.
Speaker: Let me tell you, human beings are capable of horrific evils.
Speaker: Apart from Christ, we are desperately wicked.
Speaker: We need to have the courage to say, I stand with Israel.
Speaker: We need to have the courage to defend Israel from her attackers.
Speaker: Ideologically and physically.
Speaker: And it's becoming more and more clear that we need to call sin by its rightful name.
Speaker: I was just motivated and spurred on by this thought, so...
Speaker: figured I'd share it.
Speaker: And I figured what better time to inaugurate the video portion of the Preacher Dad podcast with that video there.
Speaker: So God bless you.
Speaker: If you want to find out more about the Preacher Dad podcast or about the things that we're trying to do at PreacherDad.com you can go there to the website or read blog posts on everything from parenting to politics.
Speaker: We're trying to
Speaker: provide a biblical perspective upon the issues of our day and inspire and encourage Christians in the West to engage in the culture war.
Speaker: And that might mean just teaching your children what's right and wrong, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: I'm the preacher dad.
Speaker: My name's Jared, and I'll catch you next time.
Speaker: Thanks so much.
Speaker: Bye-bye.
