A saint is a person who repents of their sins, by the grace of God, and then places their faith in the sacrificial lamb provided by God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Organized religions can oversimplify or complicate the Biblical message and thereby confuse people whose souls are naturally darkened because of the presence of sin in their hearts. The Scripture, however, is clear throughout the entire Bible. Before us, we have the prophet Ezekiel telling the story of salvation as he received it from God.



Repentant Sinners Become Righteous Saints

"‘As I live!’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live." (Ezekiel 33:11)

"‘The righteousness of a righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not stumble because of it in the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous man will not be able to live by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’ “When I say to the righteous he will surely live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but in that same iniquity of his which he has committed he will die. “But when I say to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and practices justice and righteousness, if a wicked man restores a pledge, pays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the statutes which ensure life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die. “None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced justice and righteousness; he shall surely live." (Ezekiel 33:12-16)


The irony in the previous verses is when God says, "...the righteousness of a righteous man will not be able to deliver him, God is speaking of a man who is righteous in his own eyes but not in practice. However, the wicked man who turns or repents of his sins, and when it is by the grace of God, it becomes an authentic repentance, which is why God says he will not stumble. Nevertheless, when the man who is righteous in his own eyes trusts in his own righteousness and not a God imparted righteousness by His grace, and he commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered. No one can play games with God; therefore, when the wicked man turns from sin by the grace of God, their turn, though they do not become perfect in this life, they become righteous to a height that the self-righteous can never obtain. In the heart of a wicked man who turns from sin to serve Christ, there is authenticity, truth, honesty, and the absence of hypocrisy.

Repentant Sinners Become Righteous Saints And Patriotic Americans

Some Christians want to say there is no place for politics in the Christian life. They will say the early Christians did not stand against the cruelties of Rome. What such Christians do not realize, and they may be sincere in their beliefs and in their faith, is that under monarchs and kings, there is no argument to be made. The king has the first and final say in all matters, and all the people are their subjects, period and end of story! It was this substitution of an earthly king in place of the God Yehovah of Israel that made Israel's decision so heinous and destructive to the people.


America was technically founded by God fearing Puritans who fled the persecutions of Europe. It was their desire to land in a place where they might have the freedom to worship as God dictates and not popes and kings who take their seat as head of Jesus' Church. As a result, America was founded as a democracy. The Great Awakening further lit the flame of righteousness, holy and moral living, which was meant to be followed by all the people. No one can be forced to be godly, but wherever there are lustful, proud, opportunists, and ungoly people, there will be the drive for power, and with power comes lies, deceipt, murder, and all soughts of evil and when it reaches the heights of leadership it will abound in the vast majority until all freedom is eventually lost once again.


During the Civil War years, the debate rang out as to whether the schools should all remain independent or be taken over by the government. The judgment went to the government, and the country has been in the most dangerous place it could be, with the minds of every succeeding generation of children in the hands of a government that becomes greedier for power with every election. To leave America in the hands of secular authorities is to give it over to Satan as sure as there is a devil. Why would any Bible believing, loving, Christ-honoring Christian believer want to turn over the country to power-hungry, God-denying secular authorities?



SAINT AND PATRIOT

Charlie Kirk was an outspoken patriot because he was a repentant sinner and a faithful Christian, no matter what immoral, God-hating, Ten Commandment-breaking people might say about him.
Charlie Kirk was a loving husband and father who shared his faith and the principles that made America free and great. He now lives with Jesus forever, Amen.

Repentant Sinners Become Righteous Saints And Martyrs For Jesus Christ

The cry in our land is for freedom, and freedom is defined by the freedom to be evil, to the point of denying manhood, womanhood, and the family institution created by God. Two types of people came over to America from Europe in 1492: first, the Christian Puritan (Pilgrim), and second, the opportunists who desired a godless society. It was the opportunists and not the Puritans who enslaved the black man with the aid of those who first enslaved them in Africa. The opportunists became the slave owners, not the Puritans. When so-called Christians today are taken in by equality for all, which is a Christian principle, but they buy it from lustful, power-hungry, authoritarian leaders who care nothing for God, moral purity, and the sanctity of family, they are deceived. For this reason, a good and godly man like Charlie Kirk was killed and martyred. God will deal with all those who shed the blood of His People; they will have their place in the Lake of Fire. God's people, however, need to wake up and understand whose side they are on, or else they should start to consider whether they are a believer at all. Repentant Sinners become righteous saints and prove their righteousness by standing for righteous living as defined by the Bible and not by impostors, deceivers, hypocrites, and immoral liars, thieves, and murderers.

In 46 minutes, you can understand how The real-life high school experiment known as The Third Wave took place in the first week of April 1967 at Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, California. Just twnty-two years after the close of World War II. We live in America, a beacon of freedom, our history is that of Puritan holiness, godly morality, and strong families to pass on the paton. Where and how did we go astray? Ask yourself, who am I following? Someone who offers people complete freedom at the cost of everything that is holy, godly, and good according to conscience or someone who is self-sacrificing, humble, and unwilling to break the law of God?
