Chuck Crismier: This is Viewpoint with attorney and author Chuck Crismier. Viewpoint is a one-hour talk show confronting the issues of America's heart and home. And now with today's edition of Viewpoint, here is Chuck Crismier.

A Texas mosque approval sparks recall effort targeting the mayor and council members. It's happening, friends. It's happening very spontaneously and insidiously. The insidious assault of Islam in America and throughout Europe, quite frankly.

Today on Viewpoint, we're going to take a look at this. We're going to see what's really happening. We're looking into this, said the housing chief, announcing a probe into federal accommodations for Sharia law. Federal accommodations for Sharia law in the United States of America? Yes, that's exactly what we're talking about. We're talking about far greater than that. We're talking about the installation of Muslim foot-washing stations in airports. Starting in Dallas with Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to install dedicated Muslim ablution stations at a cost of $300,000.

The wudu or ablution is an Islamic ritual purification performed before daily prayers. The wudu stations are specialized plumbing fixtures that feature low-level basins for washing the feet and seating that allow individuals to comfortably wash their hands, face, and arms. The document also shows that accommodation was registered with Texas regulators on July 31st of this year and is expected to be completed by December 31st.

After the project gained national attention, Republican US Representative Keith Self wrote, saying it was only the beginning of a broader effort. Islamic foot-washing stations are coming soon to DFW, he said. This isn't accommodation, it's conquest, and it's only the beginning, he wrote. The Sharia takeover happened right before our eyes and must be stopped, he said.

Well, it's taking over everywhere. Whether you want to call it conquest, whether you want to call it an insidious assault, it's happening everywhere. And quite frankly, it's happening just the way Satan works in our own lives: incrementally, line upon line, here a little, there a little, until it overwhelms us in our battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil.

This is only one area of battle, friends. And today we're going to take a focus on that. But we're also going to later on in the program see how this actually applies in our own lives. Over there in Germany and France, they're leading Europe in anti-Christian hate crimes. Where is it coming from? Islam. It's coming from Muslims there in Europe. All over the world, this is taking place. And today on Viewpoint, we take a look at it.

Down there in Texas, friends, down there in Texas, there is a movement. It's a takeover movement just north of Dallas. And just north of Dallas, I think within 40 or 50 miles, there's an effort to build an entire Islamic community just like Dearborn, Michigan. And in that context, there has been an approval by 100% unanimous percent of the city council to allow this Muslim mosque to be built for 3,000 people. And indeed, now there is a reaction to it big time.

You're listening to Viewpoint, friends. Viewpoint does determine destiny, and we're seeing destiny change very rapidly before our eyes. I'm glad that you've joined us here on the program today. Viewpoint does determine destiny. There are no neutral viewpoints. And we're going to hear the viewpoint of a man, a man who there in McKinney, Texas, concerning the proposed Islamic center, went straight to the face of the council. And we're going to hear from him right now. I hope you'll stay tuned, friends. I'm looking at the gentleman on the internet. He said, "I'm telling you, this is bad." He said, "I'm a Sharia law survivor from Iran." And here we go. Listen carefully.

Eddie Isa: Hello, my name is Eddie Isa. I'm a Sharia law survivor from Iran. And I'm here to tell you this is a dangerous ideology you're allowing in your country. Every country that is Islamic now, it used to be a Christian country. And we were soft Christians, and we allowed these people to come in, bring their Sharia law into our countries, and slowly kill us off left and right.

Let me make it very clear to you. Christianity is a personal relationship with God, where it says "Render unto Caesar's what is Caesar's, render unto God's what is God's." Islam is Sharia law. Din-wa-dawa, religion and state, which is not even compatible with the American thing. And when they, these people, will use Taqiya to lie to you, to manipulate you, because whenever Islam is little, they will lie to you and tell you they come in peace. This is level one.

Level two is what's happening in UK right now, where you have two-tier policing, where you have like the blasphemy laws, Islamophobia, racism, all this nonsense that they talk about. First of all, Islam is not a race. So anytime you criticize Islam, they will use the race card. But there's every country has this disgusting ideology inside their country, including my own country, Iran, Russia. Islamophobia is another made-up bullshit because they don't want you to criticize their death cult.

That's why they will put that, that's why they push it in UK, in every country they go to. M103 is in Canada right now. They deliberately try to silence us. And the worst people that are trapped in it is Muslims themselves because they can't leave that death cult because they're told if you question that disgusting book, you're called a kuffar and they get killed over it, just like my friends who are apostates in prison or dead right now in Iran. I'm telling you, this is a bad idea, and you're going to regret not listening to people like us who lived under Sharia law.

Chuck Crismier: Well, it takes a certain holy boldness. It takes a certain holy boldness for somebody who has been under Sharia law, who has lived in Iran, who understands the consequences and the implications to actually address we gullible Americans that have used democracy as the vehicle to allow the insidious assault of Islam to come into the land of the free, increasingly being made only the home of the brave as a result.

So that's what we want to focus on here today. How does this happen, by the way? Think about it. How in the world could a country with the foundation that we have in this country allow such a thing to take place? What has happened to the mind and heart of we the people? Ask yourself that. What would be your answer to that? What has happened in the mind and heart of we the people? Well, I can tell you fundamentally. The first thing that has happened is that we have forsaken the God who made and preserved us a nation.

We've become a virtually godless people, worshipping prosperity, and now we're gullible. In fact, we kind of think all religions are wonderful and kind and leading to heaven. Really. We'll be right back.

Guest (Male): Once upon a time, children could pray and read their Bibles in school. Divorces were practically unknown, as was child abuse. In our once great America, virginity and chastity were popular virtues and homosexuality was an abomination. So what happened in just one generation? Hi, I'm Chuck Crismier, and I urge you to join me daily on Viewpoint where we discuss the most challenging issues touching our hearts and homes. Could America's moral slide relate to the fourth commandment? Listen to Viewpoint on this radio station or anytime at saveus.org.

Chuck Crismier: From Dearborn, Michigan, to McKinney, Texas, to Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, and all across the world to Europe, to Germany, to France, to the UK, it is a Sharia law takeover. And that's precisely what the intention is. That's exactly what the intention is.

In fact, in my book, King of the Mountain, we have a chapter called "The Mahdi versus the Messiah." The Mahdi versus the Messiah. A video produced by the Iranian government about 20 years ago declared the coming is near. The coming is near. Now, what are they talking about? They're talking about the coming of the Islamic Messiah, called the Mahdi, the 12th Imam.

The theme is revolution. But revolution in Iran and the entire Islamic world is driven exclusively by religion, despite the naive claims of Western pundits and politicians of a purported hunger for democracy. They're not hungering for democracy, friends. Unlike the vision of George W. Bush, who after the 9/11 attacks seemed to glorify Islam, even though it was 19 renegade Islamic true believers that attacked the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon and tried to get to the White House. Yet he still said Jews, Muslims, and Christians worship the same God, that Islam is a religion of peace, and then turned around and said all religions worship the same God.

Now, this is a president who, according to evangelical Christians of the highest order, believed that George W. Bush was a wonderful Christian, evangelical Christian man. Even though his wife said, "I never heard him declare that he was an evangelical Christian or even born again." Now, we're living in some very insidious times, friends. What George W. Bush did was open the floodgates in America, followed by Barack Hussein Obama, who ushered in, in practical ways, the invasion of Islam into the United States of America. His own right-hand person was a dedicated Muslim from Iran.

Islam is, by its very nature, the ultimate and inseparable melding of religion and all civil governmental rules and relationships. In effect, you could call it a religious dictatorship, mandating absolute submission by all in its sphere, either by voluntary submission or by force or threat of force. And Muslims anticipate their Messiah called the Mahdi, who will lead them in the final conquest of Earth, deposing all who deign to resist, ushering in a global caliphate. It's the Islamic apocalypse or unveiling to be soon revealed in the end times.

That is, friends, what they think. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. As countries think in their hearts, so they are. As human beings and their leaders think in their hearts, so they are. Do not take these things lightly. This is a major, major move in history and prophecy as we speak. You say prophecy? Well, yes, in this sense. The Bible does not specifically say that there's going to be an invasion from Islamic countries, or even mention the word Islam or Muslims. But there would be a huge group of nations from the south that would attack the north.

Now, Europe and America represent the north in broader terms. The countries of Islam represent the south in broader terms. Most of the countries that are major exporters of Islam are from the south of the equator or in the southern parts of the world. They now are setting themselves up for the final world, shall we say, battle that is going to take place, described right there in the scriptures concerning the three great powers: the Kings of the South, the Kings of the North, and the Kings of the East.

So from the Iranian and Islamic viewpoint, the coming is near. Now, when they believe that their Messiah, the coming, is near, they mean they're going to act on it. And so they are. While the Western world, including America, is self-blinded and paralyzed by kind of the what I call the Trinitarian lordship of political correctness, multiculturalism, and religious pluralism that preaches a doctrine of democratic salvation to an unbelieving Muslim world. The global cause of Islam is advanced by deceptively or blatantly employing the tools of democracy to gain political power and cultural religious acceptance in the god-forsaken West.

But there's coming a moment of truth, a global explosion of Islamic reality that's seen as necessary to usher in the return of the Mahdi or 12th Imam, and it's called the coming. The coming. Now, friends, the coming has happened. In a broad sense, the preparation for the coming has been happening as Islam has invaded the Western world, i.e., Europe. Now, this was supposedly known as Christian Europe. Through Muhammad, they attempted to take over so-called Christian Europe in 700 or so AD. They got as far as Paris and were cut off by Charles Martel and who shoved them back and stopped the invasion of Islam to take over all of Europe. That was in the late 700 ADs.

Now it's happening all over again. It's deja vu all over again, except on steroids. And now the invasion is not coming through swords and guns, it's coming insidiously in the name of democracy. Democracy is being used as the vehicle to destroy truth, to destroy the foundations of Christian nations, nations that were at least birthed or fundamentally Christian, in order for Islam to take over by the true believers in Muhammad as the ultimate voice of God for history.

That's what we're looking at here. And so this is a very serious thing that we're talking about. I urge you, if you do not already have a copy of my book, King of the Mountain, the eternal Afghan and end-time battle, that you get a copy of it. It will be extremely enlightening to you to help you to understand the unbelievable nature of what is taking place here. And that's only one aspect. That's only one aspect of the bigger battle.

A whole chapter, "The Mahdi versus the Messiah." The Iranian government sees the current advancing unrest in the Middle East as a sign that the Mahdi or Islamic Messiah is about to appear. While the revolutionary movements gripping the Middle East have created uncertainty throughout the region, the video that Iran produced shows that the Iranian regime believes that the chaos is divine proof that their ultimate victory is at hand.

Now, I want you to understand how they see this. It's difficult for our president to get it. It's difficult for our leaders in this country or in Europe to understand the dynamics because we do not understand the fanaticism—we'll call it fanaticism as most people see it—of Islam, fundamentalist Islam. They are dedicated to create a worldwide caliphate. In other words, worldwide government. They are pushing for a global government under Sharia law. They believe that the Quran calls for that, that that was Muhammad's vision, that Islam overtake the world. And their intent to do that.

Now, let's translate that back into the situation with Iran today. The situation with Iran today seems to be so strange to us as Westerners because we value life, or at least we say we do, except for the state of Massachusetts that just decreed the killing off of all babies up to the date of birth. That's Massachusetts, the place where the pilgrims first landed, the Puritans landed, the spiritual source of the history of our country, and they have just decreed the destruction of babies up to the date of birth. One of I think seven states that have decided to do that.

This is horrific, friends. And this is one testimony as to why Islam is taking over. We've completely, we've completely walked away from the foundations of the Christian faith in this country. There's just barely a remnant left, barely a remnant left. And that's why we do what we do here on this program, confronting the deepest issues of America's heart and home from God's eternal perspective. I do not believe that God made any mistake when he spoke to my heart back in 1992 right there in my law office and said, "Son, you've been pleading the cause of men long enough. I want you to plead my cause in the land as a voice to the church, declaring vision for the nation America's greatest crisis hour because we're right on the near edge of the second coming and these things were prophesied and we just don't get it." We're blind in one eye and refuse to see out of the other, and we're destined for destruction. It's happening right in front of our eyes, friends.

So, that having been said, if you don't have a copy of the book, King of the Mountain: He Who Rules the Temple Mount Rules the World, I urge you to get a copy of it. $15 will put it in your hands. It's on our website, saveus.org. That's saveus.org. You can give us a call at 1-800-SAVE-USA, 1-800-SAVE-USA, or write to us at Save America Ministries, PO Box 70879, Richmond, Virginia 23255, writing a check and $6 for postage and handling. You're not going to be disappointed when you get a copy of this book. I can almost guarantee it. I can almost guarantee it because it's going to open your eyes to the bigger picture, historically and prophetically, as to what is happening and will happen right in front of our eyes.

So, now while we're breaking here talking about books, you know about my latest book that's just hot off the press, The Power to Overcome. The Power to Overcome. And as I indicated and have for the past 30 days, we have the Overcomers Project that completes today. Today is the last day to sign up for the Overcomers Project. Just today, someone from the far West Coast gave me a call and said, "You know, I really believe that my church needs these books." And so this gentleman ordered out a dozen copies, not just ten but a dozen copies of the book. And I am so grateful that he did. Others are doing the same thing, that is at least ten copies.

So for your gift of $250 to Save America Ministries, we're going to put ten copies of that book, The Power to Overcome, in your hands. This is an extremely practical book. This is not a book of theory. This is a book that's transitive, it's active spiritual warfare, what it looks like, how we deal with it. How do we battle? We say that our enemies are the world, the flesh, and the devil. But what is that? What is the world? What is the flesh? What is the devil? How do these interrelate? How do we deal with those things?

And that's what this book is about. So practical, so easy to be understood. You just can't miss it. My wife's been reading it and she says, "Chuck, this is amazing. I don't like theoretical books. This one really gets to the heart." And so I'm so grateful for her comments. So in order to become part of that project today, go to the website saveus.org, click on the homepage where it says "Donation," and it'll tell you how to sign up for it there. Or you can give us a call at 1-800-SAVE-USA, 1-800-SAVE-USA, or write to us at Save America Ministries. Make sure you postmark your, write your check for today and get it off to us at Save America Ministries, PO Box 70879, Richmond, Virginia 23255. And when you do, put "Overcomers Project" on your check or in a little note. We'll be right back, friends. Stay tuned.

Guest (Male): There is so much more about Chuck Crismier and Save America Ministries on our website saveus.org. For example, under the marriage section, God has marriage on his mind. Chuck has some great resources to strengthen your marriage. First off, a factsheet on the state of the marital union, a factsheet on the state of ministry, marriage, and morals, saveus.org. Marriage, divorce, and remarriage—what does the Bible really teach about this? Find all of this at saveus.org. Also, a letter to pastors, the Hosea Project, saveus.org, and many more resources to strengthen your marriage. It's all on Chuck's website saveus.org. Again, you can listen to Chuck's Viewpoint broadcast live and archived, Save America Ministries website at saveus.org.

Chuck Crismier: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you know those federal financing businesses that you finance your home and other property through? Well, guess what. The housing chief now announces a probe into federal accommodations for Sharia law. That's right. Listen. The chief of America's housing agency, Bill Pultie, has confirmed that there is now an investigation into claims there are federal program accommodations for Sharia law, that punitive set of requirements for Muslims that includes such things the killing infidels, those who don't abide by Islamic rule. He said the authorities are looking into claims that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac actually have provisions to participate in home financing arrangements marketed as compliant with Islamic law. You think this isn't insidiously making its way into the entire country? It is.

Now we don't have to go into the depths of this particular article because what we just heard tells us the substance of it. Then we have the foot-washing machines or stations that are now approved for the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to be installed by the end of this year at the cost of $300,000 for Muslim foot washing in the airport. Why is this happening? Why are we capitulating everywhere to the advance of Islam? Because we're ignorant. We have no idea what is really transpiring, don't really care.

Last year, Pastor Tom Ascol said he encountered a group of Muslims using the airport chapel while he was waiting for a flight. According to Ascol, an airport announcement invited travelers to a prayer service at the chapel. When he arrived at the chapel, he found a group of Muslims had taken over the space with their prayer rugs and Ascol was denied entry. They physically blocked from entering an inner room of the chapel. He said they blocked my way. A man who had offered a loud prayer, not the Imam, said I could come in if I took my shoes off, and I refused. He would not let me walk in. I didn't want to create a scene, so I left. Muslim prayer rugs lined the floors. This is happening everywhere, friends. This is an invasion. It's an insidious invasion by Islam. And it's purposeful. This is not happening by happenstance. Not by happenstance.

If you listen to the words of Ilhan Omar, the Somalian member of Congress, she has made it very plain that her goal is to overtake the United States with Islam, that the Somalian representative that she represents has been brought in for the express purpose of Islamizing the United States. Now, why is it that Barack Obama now has indicated he is going to represent and go in and campaign on behalf of the new, the gentleman just elected I believe in Michigan as candidate for the Senate, a Muslim? Why is Barack Obama going to campaign on behalf of him to the black community? He's trying to deceive the black community to voting for a Muslim because his color happens to be more black than white.

So he's saying, "Come on brothers, come on, we gotta support the brother." Do you not see how insidious this is? Do you not understand that those who voted for Barack Hussein Obama actually voted for the insidious invasion of Islam in this country, along with many other things like abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism? He was the figurehead representing all of those things coming into this country. You may take issue with that, but I have my files full of documents to prove it.

What we're dealing with, friends, is truly an invasion. Germany, France are leading Europe in anti-Christian hate crimes. Why? Women stabbed at prayer, church desecrations. More than a dozen attacks targeting Christian church symbols and worshipers in Europe through the month of July alone. Where is it coming from? It's coming primarily from Islam. Islam has come in and invaded those countries, has been brought in under, shall we say, warm feelings of democracy. How can we possibly keep out these invading immigrants? And so they've been brought in. Just as what's happening in this country.

Now you might have, you can have all the ideas that you want to have about this and how loving it would be. I'm not against people who happen to be Muslim. Really, I'm not. And those who have known me, who know for instance that I was a neighbor for years to a Muslim family, know that I am not anti-Muslim in that sense. I don't, that's not the issue. The issue is what it stands for. It's not about people in and of itself, it's about what it stands for. And while it may be a persistent pattern of attacks affecting Christian places of worship, religious symbols, Christian communities, and visible expressions of the Christian faith across Europe, the real point is it is against Christ.

You say, "Really, Islam is against Christ. How come they say Muslims love Jesus?" Maybe you saw the billboard. "Muslims love Jesus." No, they don't love the Jesus of the Bible. They love someone that they call Isa, who is their caricature of Jesus of the Bible. They believe in a Jesus, they believe in a Jesus who was a good teacher, a moral teacher, but they absolutely unmitigatedly deny that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Number one. Number two, they deny that he was crucified. Number three, they deny that he rose again from the dead. Number four, they deny that he is the total Messiah expected by Israel and Christians. They believe that if you believe any of those things, you're worthy of death. It's blasphemy.

Now, how can we say that they believe in Jesus? They want you to think they believe in Jesus as a means of receiving their vitriolic—some people call it ideology. It's not just an ideology, friends. It's a total blending of religious practice and government. It's called Sharia law. It's oppressive, it's dictatorial, and there will be no, no resistance once it takes place. None.

Why do you think that Iran has executed 50 people just in the last month? It's a death cult, friends. It's not about peace and it's not about life, it's about submission, absolute submission. The word Islam means submission. It doesn't mean submission because you're humbling yourself and repenting of your sin and so on. It means you're submitting to their authority under either the sword or threat of sword. Radically different than the Christian faith. The Christian faith is all about voluntarily submitting, not because of a threat of violence but because of conviction of heart that we're sinners and we need a Savior.

There is absolutely no relationship between a dedicated Muslim and God. Now they say that God is Allah, but they have no personal relationship. It's ritual. Very much like much of what goes on in the name of Judaism today.

So we're in serious trouble. McKinney, Texas, they already were putting up an effort to form an entire Muslim city in Texas just north of Dallas. This Muslim mosque is part of that bigger picture. The Governor of Texas says we're not going to have any Muslim city in this state. We will not have a Muslim city in this state. He understands that this is a very dangerous thing that is happening.

Do you understand that? Do you see how it has come in on little cat feet, like the fog? At first coming in relatively silently, and then pretty soon it begins to overwhelm and overtake. It's very dangerous. Now there are many people who claim to be Muslim that do not have the depths of commitment that the Iranian leaders have or that many others have. But we're talking about the foundation of Islam, friends. That's where the danger is. Why the video was approved at the highest levels of the Iranian government, "The Coming."

Guest (Male): Have you ever considered what the early church was like? Many people are developing a heart longing for a greater fulfillment in our practices as Christians. A recent study showed 53,000 people a week are leaving the back door of America's churches in frustration. What is going on? Why has there not been even a 1% gain among followers of Christ in the last 25 years? Could it be that God is seeking to restore first-century Christianity for the 21st century? Jesus said, "I'll build my church." Is Christ by His Spirit stirring to prepare the church for the 21st century? The early church prayed together and broke bread from house to house. They were family, and it was said by all who observed, "Behold, how they love one another." Incredible. But the same can be found right now. Go to saveus.org and click "Sell Church." We can revive first-century Christianity for the 21st century. It's about people, not programs. It's about a body, not a building. That's saveus.org. Click "Sell Church."

Chuck Crismier: Again, I welcome you back to Viewpoint. Today we're talking about the insidious encroachment or invasion of Islam in the United States, but also in Europe and across the world. This is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy so that the powers of the south, where all of this is coming from, will ultimately have sufficient power base in the world in order to attack the north, i.e., the Western world in the last days. It is going to be a final battle.

And in addition to that, you will have the Kings of the East coming in across the Euphrates River. The book of Revelation talks about this. And so we're seeing the insidious invasion. It's like a virus that's spreading throughout the earth, throughout the Western world. Who would have ever believed it? When Charles Martel warded off the Muslim invasion in 700-something AD at the border of Paris, who would have ever believed that the same Europe and now America would allow a similar invasion without even any resistance? It's coming all in the name of immigration, insidiously.

Latest report: Anti-Christian violence and legal pressure rising in Europe, UN experts are told. Experts and diplomats warn the United Nations Human Rights Council that anti-Christian violence and legal pressure affecting religious freedom are increasing in Europe and require stronger protection of freedom of religion worldwide. The root of it all is driven by Islam.

In addition to that, just a week ago, Turkey has established its own plans for an Islamic NATO. It's called the Mecca Pact, in a way to turn military weight, Gulf money, and regional reach into leverage. On August 7th, in the Al-Safa Palace in Mecca, Turkish President Erdogan joined Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in signing an agreement whose consequences may prove far greater than its deliberately restrained language suggests. The Mecca Joint Defense Agreement commits the three countries to regard an armed attack against one of them as an attack against all, placing collective defense at the heart of a relationship previously built through bilateral military cooperation, arms sales, training, and political coordination. For Turkey, Mecca represents something more ambitious. Ankara is not searching for another protector; it's seeking a larger table at which it can help decide what the next Middle Eastern order will look like. In other words, the control of Sharia law. Turkey wants to become the new caliphate of Islam for the world.

There's a battle between Turkey and Iran. Iran has that vision and Turkey has that vision. Turkey enters this arrangement from a position unlike that of almost any other regional state. It already commands NATO's second-largest military, has built an increasingly sophisticated defense industry, and occupies a geography connecting Europe, the Black Sea, the Caucasus, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. In other words, the whole region that would enable them to facilitate the launching of an Islamic military against the north, i.e., the West and the North, just as biblical prophecy informs us will happen.

So, the interesting thing is that Turkey is a member of NATO. Which means that what they have done through this very secretively now, they have adopted a powerful three-nation confederation: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, led by a member of NATO, which then by implication says any attack on those three nations would be an attack on NATO. Therefore, NATO would have to come in and defend those three nations while they themselves are in the process of trying to impose Sharia law on the rest of the world. I want you to try to get your mind around that.

This is the reason why the gentleman at the beginning of the program who came from Iran, understood what Sharia law was all about down there in McKinney, Texas, stood before the council and he says, "Look, they are using Taqiya in order to deceive the world, to deceive the Western world, and you have no clue what's even happening." Taqiya is the word that expresses Islamic permission to lie for the advancement of Islam. Very simply.

All right, all that having been said then, the Islamic video, "The Coming," produced at the highest levels of the Iranian government, claims Iran is destined to rise as a great power in the last days to defeat America, the West, and Israel, and thus prepare the way for the return of the Mahdi. They believe that time is fast approaching, indeed at the very door. Now, because of that, friends, they have the conviction—I was inferring, referring to this earlier—they have the conviction that it doesn't matter how many attacks we make on Iran. They're willing to absorb just about any amount of attacks because ultimately they believe somehow Allah is going to use that to bring about the complete revolution of Islamic law, Sharia law, over the world, and they will be the vanguard of that revolution. That's what they believe. They're willing to all die for that purpose.

We don't understand that kind of a commitment. Very few Christians today have even any concept of dying for Christ. They're not even willing to die for their own flesh, let alone for Christ. So here, here is the connection. And I indicated there would be a greater connection to the need for understanding the power to overcome.

Friends, look. How we are overcome spiritually in our lives happens and is happening the same way Sharia law is taking over the world. The same way. Insidiously. It's coming in here a little, there a little, and we allow it in. We allow it in because, well, we don't want to resist and we don't want to fight and we don't want this and we want to feel good and we just don't want to whatever, we don't want to get in the fray. The problem is you are in the fray and you don't even realize it until it's too late.

Look. How is it that all of the wickedness that we see in America today has come in? It's come in because we didn't resist it. We did not raise up a standard against it. And in our own lives. I'm not talking about politically now. I'm not talking about legally, I'm talking about spiritually. How do you explain the massive invasion of divorce in the church since 1968? How do you explain the massive serial adultery in the church since 1970? How do you explain that?

There's only one explanation. It came in little by little. We brought it in. Pastors brought it in by justifying it, by allowing it in here a little and there a little said, "Oh, that's not too bad, that's, you know, God wants people happy." Forget about God wants people holy, God wants people happy. This is how it happened. And then we get into situations where we compromise. And a little compromise leads to bigger compromises, and bigger compromises lead to even greater compromises. It becomes easier and easier and easier to compromise.

That's why, friends, we're in a desperate position right now on the near edge of the second coming. We're just not ready in the Western world. Not ready. Not ready to endure persecution and not ready to be overcomers. And Jesus said in the book of Revelation seven times to the seven churches of Asia and then also in Revelation 21, "to him that overcometh, to him that overcometh." All the words of overcoming are to believers, professing believers, not the pagans. Professing believers, that's where the warnings are.

We've got to understand this. It's a labor of love to present this message to God's people. It's not just Islam that's attacking insidiously. Even more insidiously is the way we have allowed sin and rebellion and unrighteousness to slip into our lives and into our churches and even to our the preach-ment coming from our pulpits to compromise at every corner. And then we've reaped the rewards, which aren't pretty. And they're going to continue unless and until we become overcomers.

I hope you'll get a copy of that book, The Power to Overcome. It's not just a—it's not a diatribe against anybody in particular or anything in particular. It's a helping to us to understand, to reveal what this really looks like in real time in each one of our lives. And then what to do about it. How do we deal with it? It's so practical. It's making the Bible come alive. Hopefully that's the desire in your heart. It should be. What a, what a tremendous tool this book will be in the hands of family members, particularly fathers, to lead discussions in their home. With each chapter followed by very probing questions so that there can be serious, honest discussion in the home. For moms and dads, mothers to—men and women, husbands and wives to sit down and read it together. It's that kind of book. It just, it just is going to touch your heart.

Friends, we're living in times. In times like these, the song says we need a Savior. In times like these we need an anchor. Be very sure, be very sure your anchor holds and grips the solid rock. The solid rock, not one that varies with all the whims of culture and the vagaries of human feeling, but the solid rock that cannot be moved.

Also, since we talked about the book King of the Mountain and I read some passages from that here today that are gripping, $15 on the website saveus.org. $15 on the website saveus.org. Now, if you want to get that book King of the Mountain and The Power to Overcome at the same time, there'll only be one $6 postage and handling and for the second book only $2. So it'll be a lot easier, $4 cheaper that way and urge you to take advantage of it and become a partner. We're pleased that some now are beginning to see how important this ministry really is. Praise the Lord for that. It's so encouraging. I hope you're encouraged by it. I hope the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart through this program. This is not about rah-rah-rah churchianity. It's about the real life of Christ. It's about being the people that God would have us to be. And I'm sure that that's what you want in your life. God bless and be a blessing.
