SPEAKER 02 :
Now comes the time when we resolve. Right-thinking Christians and Americans determined to live life better and in the new year and to be better soldiers of the cross and better citizens of the greatest nation in the history of mankind. The resolution for the new year. So, on to different and better life. Life. Life. Only one life, and that will soon be past. Boy, will it ever. Treasure every moment, my fellow Christians. Our Lord Jesus Christ came to bring us life more abundantly. So live in an abundant life mood. Live as he said joyfully. Live as he would have you live. That your joy might be full. Full. Life is good, no matter what happens. Life is good. Please enjoy every moment and worry. Worry. Nothing is more negative. Worry is wrong, perhaps rising to the level of sin. Give no thought at all, my fellow Christians, to the tomorrow. It is a day with its own good and evil, and to worry about a day not yet come ruins this day, this very day which the Lord has made. And the fight of faith, my fellow Christians. Stand up for your faith. Stand tall in the Lord. Never compromise your faith. Never compromise your faith in any way, by thought, by word, or by deed. Never. Never do that. And resist evil. Here comes evil, the devil at work, more aggressive than ever. Resist evil and it will go away. The devil will flee, says the scripture, as long as you resist with the power of the Lord. Resist it with all of your Christian might and Christian armor and strength. Do what is right and fight back. Fight the fight of faith and never give up. Never, in the words of the Apostle Paul, never give up. but rather press, as Paul says, press on for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Press on. And salt and light. Let your light, my fellow Christians, so shine before all mankind that all may see your good works and know what you believe and in whom you believe. And glorify not you, but him. Whether word or deed, a deed seems to be more lasting and effective than a word in so many ways. Flavor this world with Christian love and forgiveness. Salt, the salt of the earth. And let your light so shine before men. Let it shine brighter than ever because of your love for Jesus Christ. And educate, learn. Now comes a radical, woke, progressive agenda seeking to transform, really destroy so much of America, a culture, a system, and a group of priorities which is thoroughly and completely, in my view, anti-American. What do you think about that? Can you tolerate this new, woke, progressive, radical movement at work in America today? I say it is wrong. And if you agree, say so and stand up. Stand up. And you, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Care. Care for it. Nurture it. Preserve it. Live healthy as God would intend and respectfully in the flesh that God has given you. Take care of your body. And prayer. Pray without ceasing. Be guided by the Holy Spirit. And pray always. Pray everywhere. You could say that it would be well to live in a prayerful environment where the Holy Spirit rules and you are in constant communication, prayerful communication with your Lord Jesus Christ. Prayer works wonders. whether it comes from the closet, that is, you all alone with him, even with groanings, which are not words interpreted by the Holy Spirit, the very best of your heart and soul, or all the way up to mass assemblies. Pray without ceasing. And God hears and answers his way. God answers his way and at his time, and always for your good. no matter the answer, and thanks. In all things give thanks. Be a more thankful person. No matter how bad things are, so much is so good. You know, there is no such thing as luck, but only the will of God at work, whether we are aware of that or not, whether we interpret that as good or bad. It is the will of the Lord that it should happen. And no matter what they are, no matter what happens in your life, good or bad, They are his will at work. Please remember that. And in all things, in all such things, we should be thankful. Thankful. And especially we should be thankful for his unspeakable gift. A gift that cannot be adequately described in words. That gift is our Lord Jesus Christ. And love, love, love. no matter how hateful the world is, no matter how alone you may feel or be, the love of our Lord is with you. Christ, closer than a friend or brother, he is with you at all times, by your side, even if no one else is, as our Lord was with the Apostle Paul in his final days. All alone in a dungeon was this good man, but Christ, his Lord, was with him. Our Lord died for you, and there is no greater love than that of a man who lays down his life for a friend. Jesus Christ did that for you and me. We are here. We are alive. Let us be glad and rejoice therein. Let us resolve to live this great year joyfully and abundantly and more productively and work in His behalf, for the night is coming. The night is coming when no man or woman can work. To you, my fellow Christians, listeners to the Crawford Broadcasting Company stations, a very blessed New Year’s greeting from all of us at the Crawford Broadcasting Company. And may you and yours have a year with the full blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
