Saints, we have started our ‘holiday’ season preaching last Black Friday in Louisville at the Light Up Louisville Xmas tree lighting ceremony revelry. We have been preaching there many years and were blessed again to lift up our voices for Jesus, and to be reviled for the truths that we preach from the Bible which is in such marked contrast to American culture and ‘churches’.
Today, Dec 1st, Bros Marvin Heiman and Joshua will head out to Columbia, Ky to preach at their small Christmass parade event. We have always been given great favor using banners and small amplifiers to preach to our local community.
Tomorrow Bro Joshua and I will head out to Glasgow, Ky to preach at their local Xmass parade event. Last year the city was set on it’s head with the truths of the Bible they obviously have not been hearing in their ‘churches’. I will share here some of the media and events that happened after that fateful night of exciting preaching on the public square in that city.
Daniel Rusk Beaten in Glasgow
Br. Daniel had only preached for some 15 minutes before he was beaten and I was restrained from trying to intervene on his behalf. He was subsequently arrested and charged for disorderly conduct by the police and attacker who claimed Daniel had spit upon him. We filed charges against the man the next day after Daniel was released from prison. We followed up months after Daniel’s court date and dismissal of all charges concerning the attacker. The city attorney claims the man has not shown up for court, is on the run, and they can’t locate him.
In Kentucky, we have all manners of Xmass parades in multitudes of small towns that we can’t even keep up with all of them. I exhort everyone to get out there to make the message of Christ, known among the heathen in your Jerusalem, your Samaria, and the outer parts of the world.
God bless you.
We were falsely accused of many things by most of the students on the Middle Tenn State University during our outreaches there recently. My responses are outlined in the following letter to the editor in the weblink below. These false allegations by the MTSU students reveal the bigotry and bias of the students against God, His Word, the Truth, and the preachers.
Original Accusations and Article From Students
Here is the original story filled with false allegations. The Lord compelled me to address this properly so that others including faculty and students who may not have attended the two days of meetings could get a better understanding of what happened.
First Outreach to MTSU Attack in 2010
Keep in mind that Middle Tenn State Univ, MTSU, is the original campus where a female graduate student pushed me off a 3 foot wall onto a 55 gal barrel trash receptacle which inflicted very painful injuries to my chest and could have killed me.
Flying the Colors Union Down, July 4, 2016 Nashville, TN
by John McGlone
Today I took my retirement flag out of it’s case of 15 years, and flew it upside down at the 4th of July event in Nashville. This was a warning and sign of imminent danger and distress for our country. See subpara (a) It got lots of attention all day long as I knew it would. However, I am not seeking to disrespect our country, flag, or people by doing so.
I am not a homosexual, socialist, or Muslim who was burning or stomping on our flag. I am a Christian American who served 21 years in the Navy, exercising my duty to warn my countrymen displaying our flag in a lawful manner. Not many know of this display, but I have handled the Ensign and Union Jack for our ships thousands of times. Ceremonies daily at 0800 every morning, sunset every evening, funerals, burials at sea, ship commissioning, decommissioning, gun salutes, etc…This display got lots of emotional tirades, some humble questions, and lots of thought provoking of careless Americans on one of our most celebrated of holidays in Nashville , TN where the week before the District Court was bathed in homosexual rainbow banners/flags flying high and ‘proud’.
Here are some of the reasons why God is angry with Americans and is judging our country: 1. Abortion 60 million plus innocent babies murdered 2.Homo and Hetero Sexual perversions/approval 3. Militant Feminism 4. Destruction of the Family 5. Corrupt Goverment/politicians 6. Wicked Educational, Medical, Social, and Financial establishments. 7. Rejecting God and His Word in every area of our culture.
This demonstration of our union down as we fly ‘Old glory’ is a lawful way to display our flag as you can see here. I am warning, God’s JUDGMENT is about to fall. Homo and Hetero Sodomy is a threat to National Security! God firebombed Sodom and Gomorrah for these very things. We are putting our lives and property in dire danger and imminent distress of God wrath IF we don’t repent of our national and individual sins!

4 U.S. Code § 8 – Respect for flag
Current through Pub. L. 114-38. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)
US Code
Notes
prev | next
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
(Added Pub. L. 105–225, § 2(a), Aug. 12, 1998, 112 Stat. 1497.)
This retirement flag which I received after 21 years of military service in the U.S. Navy had been flown over the U.S.S. Arizona if any know what that means and where that is…
Lastly a warning from Scripture for all you patriots out there:
2 Pet 2:4-22 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Instead of singing, “God bless America”, we need to start blessing God both in song and our conduct. May God stay His hand of execution that we may repent as a nation and return to Him who establishes nations.
