Speaker 2 (01:02):
The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big
pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of
Free America. Here's the Emerald City Exile Todd Herman.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Today is the day the Lord has made in These
are the times through which God has decided we shall live.
And the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, he's using the
language of the civil rights battle, wants people to rise up.
And the people of Chicago, they are going to rise
up for a cause that matters, for a cause I

(01:50):
could look up to and say, this is something upon
which Brandon Johnson can cement his legacy to rise up
on behalf of the cartels. President Trump has suggested that
he might roll the National Guard into Chicago to help

(02:10):
solve crime, like he's done in Washington, d C. Problem is,
of course constitutional traditionally, and I think constitutionally they have
to have permission or be invited in unless the President
declares an emergency. He could do that through insurrection or
there's an emergency, and I think crime is at an
emergency level in Chicago. I don't want to see this happen,
but it could. So How could I connect this to
the cartels. We're talking about street violence, We're just talking

(02:34):
about gang violence. We're talking about the sad fact that
in cities like Chicago, the number one cause of death
of young black men is in fact other young black men.
So how could I tie this to the cartels, because
that's what Margndon Johnson's doing. It's not a hard leap
to tie it to the cartels. Here's Brandon Johnson cementing

(02:55):
his legacy as Chicago mayor with a call to rise
up and defend and the cartels.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
And so you know, look, we're going to remain firm,
will take legal action. But the people of this city
are accustomed to rising up against tyranny, and if that's necessary,
I believe that the people of Chicago will stand firm
alongside of me as I work every single day to
protect the people of this.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
City, every single day to protect the people of the
city by doing nothing about gang violence, by refusing to
address black on black crime, Oh, black on black that
makes me a racist, No, it makes me a realist.
Black on black crime is a real thing, and it's
deadly to teens, young black men. It's deadly to them.

(03:41):
So how can I tie this cartels? It's not that
hard of a leap. I'll explain it in two easy
steps in just one second. It is not a hard
leap for most people to understand that as we age
it gets harder to lose weights. And if you're in
that position, it's become hard to lose weights, even if
you're paying attention to your diets and you're exercising well
and you're drinking enough water, and it's still hard. Can

(04:03):
I give you something that might unlock the weight loss.
It's called Bourbing Breakthrough and it's from my friends at Bioptimizers.
Here's what it does, is it energizes the mitochondria. These
are little energy cells inside your cells or areas within
your cells, and what they do here is it helps
turn them on more. It's like an on switch. When

(04:24):
that happens, your body is better able to utilize fatty
acids and that we get through foods. It's resident in
our bodies. When that's utilized, you can see a huge
lift in your metabolism and you'll no longer get these
nighttime drowsy feel or nighttime cravings, and you won't get
drowsy after food, et cetera. I use Bourbing Breakthrough because

these same benefits. So go visit Bioptimizers dot com slash

Cartels benefit from chaos. Cartel's benefit from a busy police force.

(05:27):
Cartels benefit from street criminals being taught they have nothing
to fear from the police. Cartels benefit from a mayor
who thwarts the police in their efforts to stop crime.
Cartel's benefit in lawlessness. Cartels benefit because when cops are
busy solving street crime or is chasing after drive by murders,

(05:50):
it's easier for the politicians to pretend that this is
just quote gang violence, it's just random violence. Cartels benefits
from wars between gang Cartel's benefit because the Chinese cartels
can come into an area and say we choose this gang.
Hon Duran cartels can come in and benefit and say
we choose this gang, and Russian gangs set Russian cartels, etc.

(06:12):
This happens in cities like Seattle. Now I know Seattle
better than Chicago, but I know this dynamic by heart.
Go talk to a cop in Seattle and say, show
me where the Honduran cartels run Seattle. They'll show you.
What about the Mexican cartels? Where are the Chinese setting up?
Ops at a friend of mine who was a cop,
and he took me to a Chinese grow house. Everybody
knew it. Everybody knew there were cartel members in there.

(06:34):
A couple of weeks later, he showed me a house
or a cop killer was allowed to live for about
a month. Everybody knew he was there, and he was
tied into Honduran cartels. President Trump's team should be communicating
that one of the reasons why they want to roll
the National Guard in is because these cartels are actually

(06:55):
kind of military operations. I mean they're military. Look at
them in Mexico and sometimes they outgun and outnumber the
Mexican police forces. In northern Mexico. They've taken mayors captive,
and in fact, they've unlive mayors in some pretty dramatic ways.
They're at least paramilitary, and they've set up shopping these cities.

(07:16):
They have supply chains. I mean a supply chain means
you bring stuff in through a chain.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Right.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
They're bringing in drugs, they're bringing in people, they're taking
out cash. Do we want paramilitary organizations aligned with the
Honduran government, Mexico or Durant cartels, Mexican cartels, Russian cartels.
Do we want them set up in American cities? Because
cartels benefit, They benefit from things like nightly insurgencies. This

(07:43):
is from Portland. This is still going on every single
night in Portland now at an ice facility, just like
it they did when they tried to make sure President
Trump didn't win the first time. Once again, it's the
rubber bullets once again, it's the sheer gas. Once again,
it's an effort to break into the ice facility night

(08:03):
after night after night. So as Portland police are dealing
with that and the federal police are dealing with that.
Look who gets the benefits, cartels benefit. If you've ever
lived in these separate countries like Seattle or Portland's and
you've gone on a ride along, you know how frustrated
it is for cops because time and time again they

(08:25):
see the same faces, and those faces in Portland's those
are largely white faces. That's not the case in Chicago. Yeah,
Antifa is mostly white. They are all around the country
that it's the same dynamic. It is not unusual in
Chicago to see eight, ten, fifteen, twenty people killed. It's
pretty regular to see thirty five shootings over a weekend.

(08:46):
It's a pretty regular currency to hear about a seven
year old girl getting killed in a drive by when
she's sitting in the back seat of her dad's car
to McDonald's drive through. It's pretty common. The cartel activities there, though,
extend into this smash and grab. Do we honestly want
to pretend that the smash and grab burglars going around
these separate countries like Los Angeles in San Francisco, that

(09:07):
these guys are all sophisticated enough to smash, grab and
then fence and all the sustaining internal to the country.
We know that's not the case. We know that home
invasion robberies have been run by sophisticated Honduran gangs at
least in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, and that you
would think around the country. What they're not going to
go to Chicago. Brandon Johnson saying, rise up and defend

(09:29):
the cartels. We've watched an analysis from some of these
home invasion robberies who know how to go in and
disable very sophisticated security cameras. They know how to go
in and hide and master our identities and to disable
police from being able to track them down. That they're
using devices that then are thrown into FARA day bags
and the throwaway stolen devices, throwaway stolen cars, stolen place.

(09:52):
To make it much more difficult, they burn the cars afterwards.
These are sophisticated activities, and the cartels are sophisticated players.
Johnson saying, rise up to defend the cartels. Why doesn't
he say this, President Trump, if you want to bring
the National Guard in, let's meet, Let's have a public
meeting in a town hall. You come, and I'll come,

(10:16):
and we'll sit in front of a town hall audience
and people can ask you questions. Then they can ask
me questions because he could use the National Guards help.
Do you think that the police force in Chicago would
not want some help and then some backup. Do you
think that they don't want to enforce the laws. Have
you ever met a cop who has been forced to
let the same person go twice or three times in

(10:37):
a day. Have you married a cop who's met the
guy who assaulted him free on the street the day after.
I've talked to cops who've had that happen. During the
Antifa riots in Seattle, I talked to cops who arrested
someone for assaulting them and the next day saw them again.
Then the person came up to smile at them. Gang
members do this as well as they're getting busted. They'll

(10:58):
say I'll be out tomorrow, I'll be out later tonight,
I'll see you in a few hours. Brandon Johnson is saying,
rise up on behalf of the cartels. This is a
ticktoker from Olympia, Washington, Olympia, by the way, the state
capital of that foreign country, Olympia, has surrounding it cartel
grow ups. I've had people who were cops, Washington State

(11:21):
patrolmen from the Intelligent Division take me to the grow ups. Yes,
I know pot is legal there. It's not legal to
grow it privately. It's not legal to produce fentanyl and meth,
which they do on the same locations right outside of Olympia,
and here you have Antifa helping to run this city.
This is a guy in TikTok claiming that there's going

(11:42):
to be problems if Ice shows up.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
There ain't nobody with them. They're ready to die. Man.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
They got baseball bats and knives.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Some of them are armed actually, so like if Ice
comes in here.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
Man, the one that I was talking with you said,
if they come and try to he's he's already to shoot.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
You don't care. He it's nothing to lose at this point,
is what he told me. This is a practice behavior
the young people who are members of Antifa and the
surrounding groups like the John Brown Gun Club, they have
been taught for years and modeled a behavior that the
police can't do anything. You don't have anything to fear
from the cops. They've been in scuffles, they've been in jail.

(12:21):
This is the purpose is to demystify the process because
people fear things they don't understand. And the first time
if you've ever been in a jail cell, I'm here
to tell you it's not fun. Happened to me twice
when I was a young kid being foolish with traffic laws.
Never anything violent or anything like that. But I never
got used to it. Praise God, and I was only

(12:41):
in holding tanks. I never had to go into the
general population. But once you've done that enough times, it's
old school. This has been something that the cartels have
been teaching their members. It's not that scary. Cartels benefit
from sanctuary cities like Chicago. And here's why. When they
find out you're in the country illegally, they shield you

(13:03):
from federal law enforcement in the separate country of Washington State.
They want not arrest a cartel member or the illegal
immigrants for drunk driving. They won't charge them with drunk
driving because drunk driving is a felony at certain levels.
Cartells benefit from people like Brandon Johnson who will do
anything to remain in power. And understand this, that God

(13:25):
Almighty is a god of law and order. If you
doubt that, read the Bible. If you doubt that, observe
your body. Your body operates through rules created by God.
If you doubt that, observe gravity, the law of gravity
didn't have to be there. God put it there. He
doesn't need it, He doesn't need day and nights He

(13:46):
doesn't need time structures, he doesn't need dates, he doesn't
need water. So he created these things, and he created order.
The Bible is abouts order how we interact with one
another and how we interact with God. So God is
watching this chaos, and he told us we would face
times like days. He told us there would be a
time where good was called evil and evil was called good.
And he told us about people like Brandon Johnson who

(14:08):
want to lord their power over others. What Brandon Johnson
is doing is saying, rise up to defend what your freedom.
If you live in a gang impacted, cartel controlled area
of Chicago, do you actually feel free? Story number two
NBC News Now pretends to help trans kids by scaring

(14:31):
trans kids. So you know, NBC came out and renamed
their properties MSNBC is going to be MS now because
that brand is uly destroyed. NBC News is NBC News Now.
And now NBC News has come out to supposedly help
so called trans kids by terrifying so called trans kids
and their families. And look this works. I have experienced

(14:56):
very painful results of me speaking truth about the lies
of transgenderism as I see them, and mine is based
on data. The data is most kids who are left alone,
they go through this period of genderous forage, under confusion,
ginger denial. Most of them, when they're left alone, get
it all figured out. It's upwards of eighty percent of them.

(15:18):
By the way, it used to be ninety percent. But
that was when they weren't affirmed and told your rights
and you were born in the wrong body. That used
to be the case. Now society is putting downward pressure
on this that kids are being affirmed through the media.
And I've very, very painfully dealt with circumstances where because
they speak about these things, I've had people who've meant
a lot to me in my life announced to me

(15:40):
in writing, I have no room for you in my
life because you are homophobic. Now again, being same sex
attracted has nothing to do with being gender defined or
gender confused, but it's been all combined together into one,
and there's a prevailing feeling. And this is real. There
are people who actually believe that President Trump is disappearing

(16:02):
same sex attracted people, that he intends to disappear them
from society. There's an actual belief and it's truly I
know people who believe this that it's just a matter
of time before the camps get set up to put
so called gender confused or gender confused, so called trans
kids in these camps. And this doesn't make my friends
feel better when I say this. I've said the minute

(16:24):
that happens is the minute I take advantage of my
Second Amendment rights because I'm not going to allow this.
I don't think any sane person's going to allow such
a thing, and I don't see any signs that President
Trump is wanting to do such a thing. NBC News
now wants you to believe that's going on. I'm to
show you a piece that they ran recently, and it

(16:44):
is one of the thickest, most propagandistic pieces that NBC
News has ever run, and that's a high bar because
they're a pure propaganda network. I'll show you this in
a second. First, I want to warn you if you
are a small or medium sized business owner, or maybe
even a large business owner, you may have bought some propaganda.
The propaganda that you are having. You have a firewall

(17:07):
between your business and your assets, so your business is
a corporation or an LLC, so you probably file separate
taxes that way. You probably reflected that way. You're probably
very careful about using your corporate credit card to only
do corporate purchases so that the IRS can't come back
and say, ooh, they're intermingled. And you probably think there's
this firewall. I'm here to tell you I've met now

(17:29):
countless business people who thought they had that firewall, but
they didn't. I will tell you how you can figure
it out in one free, no obligation consultation. Here's a website.
It's gobisible dot com. Go bisible dot com. That's with
a Z bisible and they will tell you whether you
have a corporate firewall. Most people don't when they find

(17:53):
out if you have the corporate firewall. If you do,
great congratulations, it was a free service. If you don't
have it, bisible will solve the for you in seven
easy steps, and they do a lot more like introducing
you to a library of lenders who want to work
with businesses your side. It's go bisible with the zegobisible
dot com. NBC News is continuing a scare tactic. And

(18:15):
by the way, this is vicious. It's vicious because there
are people who become mentally ill so much so that
they believe that their kids are going to be taken
from the homes at night by the federal government. I
know people like this. Watch this report from NBC News.
Fifteen year old Libby Gonzalez is a lot of things.
She steals my clothes more than I still have.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
That is so not true.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
A sister daughter friend. Okay, she's a friend, but she
is not a sister, nor is she a daughter because
he is a boy. NBC News buys this wholesale.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
Now.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Notice they're not saying so called trans sister, trans daughter,
sister daughter because NBC News is all in on if
you claim to be something, you are something. That's the
first step on the propaganda. And it's vicious because it
affirms something that most kids will go out of without

(19:09):
medical or surgical intervention. It gets worse, it gets much worse.
And she's trends in Texas, a state that's one of
the most restrictive in the country.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
I love being here, and I love my friends, and
despite everything that's wrong with our state, I love it here.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
So why are you leaving?

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Because it's no longer safe for us.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
So the Gonzales family is leaving already crying. Not just
Texas but America.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
I don't think it's one last straw. It was a
build up. We decided as a family that the onslaught
that we knew was coming with this administration was going
to make an environment far too unsafe for our family
to stay.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
The lack of safety is what the lack of safety is.
Kids in Texas can no longer get hormone surgical interventions.
You can go across state lines to do that. If
you're the parent, you could move to a different state
and do that, or you could wait that boys no
longer get to go in the girls locker rooms. That's
the lack of safety. What people mean, by the way,

(20:15):
a lot of them is that there is an attitude,
that there's an attitude of hatred towards so called trans kids.
I don't think it's a hatred towards trans kids, and
if it is, I hope people will pray that out
of their hearts. I think it's a hatred of being
told you have to accept a lie, and that was
a very predictable outcome. Story number three, John MacArthur knew

(20:39):
where he was going when he died. And I want
to ask you a question, what percentage do you know
Are you one hundred percent certain where you're going? Do
you want to be one hundred percent certain? Maybe you
can say I don't think anyone's ever one hundred percent
certain where they're going. You'd be wrong. John MacArthur I

(21:00):
knew where he was going, And I can tell you
my dad may not have known, but I know where
my dad went. And I experienced it, and it was
as real as this camera is in front of my
face or this microphone here what I experienced. John MacArthur
died a guy who'd given his life to Jesus. And
I've gotten notes from people saying, so you know that

(21:22):
he wouldn't even fire a staff member who had this
or that problem and this or that controversy, and you'll
still admire this guy. And didn't you put out a
video criticizing him for his take on civil disobedience? Yeah,
both those things are true. John MacArthur made a different
decision but the staff member than I might have made
or you might have made. And John MacArthur and I

(21:43):
had different views on civil disobedience in relation to COVID
and all the government actions relating to the elections, etc.
And John MacArthur serve of Christ these were not essential
salvation issues. John and I disagreed on. I have on
my desk at home the John MacArthur Study Bible. John MacArthur,

(22:03):
on a single day forgot more about the Bible than
I'll probably ever know. John MacArthur was an academic. He
was a theologian of the Old School who actually dove
into the Bible, and so it became an actual friend
of him. The Bible. He knew it that well. He
died knowing where he was going. And I want to
ask you, do you know where you're going? Alistair Beg
another guy disagree with on a key thing. I love

(22:24):
his teaching I agree with among most things, and funny thing,
I can still play his stuff and love it because
it's not a salvation issue. Alistair Begg talked about John
MacArthur and how he treated those he cared for.

Speaker 6 (22:38):
We pray that those words may not only stir our
hearts and comfort our souls, but direct our paths, so
that we might be enabled to say, with Paul who
wrote those words to.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Me, to live as Christ and to die is gain.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
We thank you that it is in the light of
those words and that faith that John MacArthur both lived
and died, each of us. As we bow in prayer,
our minds ranged to and fro, and as we think,
especially with the stentorin sounds of his voice still ringing

(23:19):
around this room, the pictures that come to mind are clear.
He as a servant of Christ and a steward of
the mysteries of God. He a shepherd who moved among
his people, sometimes seen in a very public way, and
then known in small and in private ways, bearing testimony

(23:43):
to the fact that he did love those whose care
was entrusted to him.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
John MacArthur loved how by lying, Nope, by courting anger
and list of grievances.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
No.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
John MacArthur loved its aims as God calls us to
love a series of verbs. Things we do or provide patience, kindness,
long suffering, and things we don't do either pride, prideful
nor angry, not keeping lists of grievances. This is how
God taught John MacArthur to love, and it's how he
teaches us to love. And John MacArthur, going into death,

(24:20):
knew exactly where he was going. Are you ninety percent
certain what did MacArthur do that led to this study? Okay?
He studied the demons studied the Bible too. They might
not even they might even know it better than John
MacArthur did. He went to church. Okay, there's a lot
of people who go to church and don't know for

(24:41):
sure where they're going, and they die, so they go
for insurance. If I go to church, maybe I've got
a fifty to fifty shots. What does Jesus tell us?
Jesus says, I am the Way, the Truth and the life,
and no one comes to the Father but through me,
So we know that there's that path. What did God do?
God sent his only son, be gotten sad, so that
all who believe in him will be saved, not perish,

(25:04):
but have eternal life. Well, there's the steps. What did
Jesus say in his ministry when Jesus walked the earth
before he became famous, and he continued to do it
after he was famous and well known. But he said, repent, repent,
and be saved. The Kingdom of Heaven is near.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Now.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
He could mean that in terms of time, that the
Kingdom of Heaven is coming soon, but he himself was
the Kingdom of heaven. So as he walked through the streets,
as he called people to himself, the Kingdom of Heaven
is near. In other words, you're looking at the Kingdom
of heaven. Repent, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior.
Speak it with your mouth, Confess with your mouth that

(25:44):
Jesus is the Lord of your life. Ask him to
be that, and then go about acting that way, and
you will know where you're going. You won't start with
complete confidence, because you're going to have to build up
a series of experiences with the Lord. Once you receive
the Holy Spirit, you can begin to see how the
Lord worked in your life. John Piper shared something very,
very very good about John MacArthur at his memorial. Repeating

(26:07):
something he'd said before got some good laughter out of
the audience.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
Our friendship was thrown into very strong and stark, beautiful
relief by the fact that we were so differently wired
by way of personality. Many of you, I can tell
by your laughter. Remember remember a most vivid illustration of

(26:35):
this during a panel discussion in which the panel leader
asked us to comment on how we deal with discouragement.
And I told the story of sitting on the steps
of a guest house crying and my wife coming to
me and saying Johnny, what's wrong? And I said, I

(26:56):
don't have any idea. Caarthur looked at me like I
was from another planet, and he said, I don't have
time to be discouraged.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
I just go on to the next thing to be done.
John MacArthur didn't have time because John MacArthur was driven
to build the Kingdom of heaven. If you want to
know where you're going when you die, then start to
think about what you want to do during your days.
Because Jesus also said, and he told the story that

(27:33):
things that will happen. Jesus said, people would come to
him and they would say, Lord, didn't we cast that
demons your name? Didn't we perform miracles your name? And
Jesus said to them, I never knew you. Go away
from me, evildoers. So yes, except the Lord Jesus confessing
with your mouth or greed to be changed by him,
act that way and then visit with him. And one

(27:57):
of the ways we get to know people is by
working with them. He's building a kingdom. He's your king.
When did you ever see a king go build the
kingdom on his own? Jesus could do it. Snap fingers
knew how a new Earth exists, the Kingdom of Heaven
is near, and then he could make it here. But

(28:19):
find me a time where you've seen a king go
out and say, hey, you know, y'all sit down, I'll
handle it. Jesus is offering you an opportunity to work
with him. MacArthur worked with Jesus, so as MacArthur died,
he knew where he was going. You know, when my
dad accepted Jesus, it was far along in the death process,
and it was a pot smoking pastor from Earth, Idaho

(28:40):
who got my dad to accept Jesus. I wasn't successful,
but the pastor was. Praise God, I failed my dad.
The pastor succeeded. When my dad died, I encountered his
soul the day of his death, encountered his soul. It
was hours after he died and I was walking out
of the hospital and I was in the parking and

(29:00):
my dad's soul appeared to me. I didn't see it,
but I felt it. And the first thing I felt
was an overwhelming sense of joy above me. And then
my mind said, in my father's voice, I can move,
I can fly. I didn't think that thought. I didn't
think my dad was flying around and there in the

(29:21):
parking garage, in front of probably forty people, I burst
into tears and said, well Dad, well done Dad. He
died a good death. I met my father's soul later.
I had slept for about forty eight hours. I fell
asleep on my couch. I woke up with my dad's
beard rubbing against my face, and he asked me where
a family member was. He wanted to see her before
he went to where he was going. I said, I

(29:43):
don't know. She's having a trouble pregnancy. I don't know
where she is. Tell her I love her, but I
have to go. My dad was at peace. I know
where my dad went because he wasn't tortured. My dad
was at peace. My dad was joyful. My dad was
not a joyful man. John MacArthur knew where he was going.
And John maccarthur, his son, proves it. And I'll show
you this in a second because to me it closes

(30:04):
the case. But again I'm asking you, do you know
where you're going? If you doubt, remove the doubt, take
the steps We've been talking about. My friend Tim Krukshank
knew where he was going. If he were to have
died in battle. He's been a Christian most of his life.
In in fact, I think all his life. When he
was in the wars, he was deployed on our behalf
three times as a Navy seal. God got him through

(30:25):
those experiences. After he came out of the seals, he
did a couple of things. He was a physician's assistant
because he'd been a medica attached to the seal teams.
And his big passion was his coffee company, Bone Frog Coffee.
As he was helping his light his wife, extend her
life in a battle against cancer, Tim was also building
this coffee company into something of which she was proud.

(30:46):
Bodfrog is something you can be proud to be part of.
The coffee's excellent. It's made either by or through the
tutelage of a coffee legend named Dave Stewart, who started
Seattle's Best Coffee. Every bag says God Country Team on it.
Because that's how Tim lives. Tim hires veterans whenever he can,
He works with veteran own companies whenever he can, and
you'll often get a hand signed note from Tim or

(31:08):
one of his daughters or kids when you pick up

(31:31):
Coffee dot com slash Todd. John MacArthur knew where he
was going when he died. It's evident in what he
said to his son, and I would ask you, do
you want to know where you're going when you die?
This is Matt MacArthur his last words to me or son.
Be faithful. He then went on to say to me,
whispering barely could talk, death, where is your sting?

Speaker 2 (31:59):
I feel.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Grace has overpowered my sinful heart.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
What a gift?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
What a gift? John MacArthur knew where he was going.
Those are the words of a calm man simply going
to see his savior, something he knew was going to
happen to him. Death was not an ending, It's a
shifting of gears and that's the case for you too.
We are eternal beings. You will exist after death. The

(32:34):
question is where the choice is yours. You can do
nothing and your choosing to be apart from God. You
can doubt, you can accept Jesus, you can agree to
be changed by him. You can work with him, and
in working with him, I predict the doubt will be
removed because you will experience His grace in vivid ways

(32:56):
as a Holy Spirit reveals to you. So I hope
you'll make a decision today to know where you're going
when you die. This is the Todd Hermann Shaw. Please go,
be well, be strong, be kind, and please make every
effort to walk in the light of Christ.
