Tucker Carlson: Things are falling apart very quickly

August 27, 2022

ACLJ need's help fast. Massive legal demand is happening against DeepState!!!






I need to be direct. We're facing seemingly insurmountable challenges. But we have you. We just filed our 15th lawsuit . . .

Robert,

I need to be direct. We're facing seemingly insurmountable challenges.

As one of our core supporters, you make our fight possible.

Planned Parenthood is willing to do whatever it takes to defeat us – to defeat life – and they have millions of tax dollars at their disposal. We have YOU.

The Deep State is absolutely shredding the Constitution. Persecuted Christians are increasingly hunted down across the globe, as our own President abandons them. Prayer is under attack at the Supreme Court.

We just filed our 15th lawsuit against the Deep State, and on MONDAY we're submitting legal demands to the Deep State FBI over its election interference and collusion with Facebook to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story. We're fighting for persecuted Christians across the globe, filing dozens of submissions to the U.N. and going to court in Pakistan to save Christians from death sentences. We're preparing to take a massive case of our own to the Supreme Court to defend prayer.

And we've launched the most aggressive legal and legislative fight for life in all 50 states – including state Supreme Courts – to save the lives of countless unborn babies.

The stark reality is we can't continue battling – and WINNING – without YOU. We're far short of our goal, and we only have 4 days left.

This is a critical moment. TODAY your gift will be DOUBLED through our Matching Challenge.

Double Your Impact: $50 Becomes $100; $25 Becomes $50.

(5) By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

  Hebrews 11:5-7

(5) By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (6) But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (7) By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

The objection people have regarding Hebrews 11:5-7 is that the mention of works and reward in the same breath suggests legalism and working for salvation. Is that so, or is it a misconception on their part? The latter. They misunderstand the salvation process because they do not allow the Bible to interpret itself.

God says in Genesis 15:1, "Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." His encouragement applies to us as well as to him. God Himself is the reward of those who seek Him. "Those who seek Him" is limited to those God invites to approach Him and who believe enough to take advantage of the opportunity and thus stir themselves up to draw near. The invitation itself is an aspect of God's grace.

Romans 4:4 makes it clear that earning access to God is impossible because it would put God in man's debt. No, access to Him is the result of freely given grace. The pairing of grace and reward is no more inconsistent than God's almighty sovereignty and man's responsibility being linked, or Jesus being both our Lord and our Servant. There would be no reward if God did not first give grace.

Another pairing we need to consider is found in Colossians 3:23-24: "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ." Is not salvation a free gift? Yes, but as servants of Christ, we work, and our reward is eternal entrance into God's Kingdom. Add to this the idea found in Isaiah 55:1, that we are to "buy . . . without money." Salvation, then, is both a gift and a reward.

It should be clear that, in terms of salvation, gifts and works are nothing more than opposite sides of the same coin. Both are involved in the same process—salvation—but they are seen from different perspectives.

One thing is certain: There will be no lazy, neglectful people in the Kingdom of God (Matthew 25:26-30). Why? Because God is preparing us for living with Him eternally, so we must be created in the character image of Him and His Son, or we absolutely will not fit in. We would live in absolute, eternal misery. Jesus stresses that diligent work is part of His character when He says in John 5:17, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working." Creators work!

Luke 13:24 adds strength to this point: "Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able." The Greek word translated "strive" is actually the source of the English word "agonize." In addition, Jesus urges us in John 6:27 to labor "for the food which endures to everlasting life." God chooses to reward such strenuous efforts, not because they earn us a place in His presence, but because He deems it fitting to recognize and bless them. The Bible shows salvation as a reward, not because people earn it, but because God wants to emphasize the character of those who will be in His Kingdom and encourage others to be like them. The citizens of that Kingdom are workers like the Father and Son.

A second reason why reward and salvation are linked is because salvation, like payment for a person's labor, comes after the job is finished. Among the apostles, nobody worked harder for God than Paul did. At the end of his life, he writes:

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. (II Timothy 4:7-8)

Just as wages for work performed are paid after a job is done, God's major blessings are not given completely until our course is finished.

This is getting dangerous (near civil war conduct)





ADF General Counsel had to be escorted to safety by police...

RGeorge,

She was shouted down. Had insults and obscenities hurled at her. There was physical intimidation in the classroom.

It was bullying and a mob mentality at work in a law school classroom.

Yet, my friend and colleague Kristen Waggoner stood strong in the face of a student mob at Yale Law School. As General Counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom, she was a member of a panel of speakers invited to discuss how attorneys across the ideological spectrum can come together and support free speech.

Future lawyers, judges, legislators, and corporate executives filled the room. But they chose to bang on walls and call Kristen and others names instead of listening to a different point of view.

This wasn't just a protest. It was students at the nation's top-ranked law school using bullying tactics to shut down an event—ironically—on the importance of free speech. Kristen and the other panelist had to be escorted to safety by police.

And this incident begs the question: What will happen to our cherished freedoms if students like these become our leaders? The students' refusal to even tolerate Kristen's presence doesn't bode well for the future.

That's why I'm asking you to help train and equip the next generation of Christian lawyers through Alliance Defending Freedom's Blackstone Legal Fellowship.

Blackstone brings together the best Christian law students from around the U.S., trains them in legal theory and practice, equips them with the professional skills and networks to thrive in the legal profession, and inspires them to reimagine their careers as a way of serving God.

The unrivaled training program gives the students the education and tools they need to defend your constitutional freedoms—whether it be in the courtroom, in the halls of government, or in other leadership positions.

And right now, thanks to a limited-time $250,000 matching grant provided by a generous donor, your gift will be doubled, dollar for dollar.

Unfortunately, in our current culture, we are no longer shocked when Kristen and others representing true freedom for everyone are heckled and threatened. But, as she said, "It was alarming to witness law students whipped into a frenzy, preferring to chant, pound the walls, and intimidate others rather than engage in civil dialogue."

What happened at Yale—and what has happened to other Christian and conservative speakers across the country—is disturbing.

This event shows that legal protections for free and unfettered speech are little comfort if we don't value free speech … if we heckle, shout down, and punish anyone who has ideas we don't like.

Kristen's courage and calm in the face of the mob is exactly what our country needs more of. She's already gone on record saying that she'd be happy to return.

What happened to Kristen is a microcosm of what many Christian law students who attend Blackstone deal with every day.

These Christian students go to law school expecting debate on serious issues. But what they get is intimidation and silencing instead. In fact, many Christian law students feel like they are a lone voice for Christian principles in their law school.

This is why the Blackstone Legal Fellowship is so important. And that's why I'm asking you to give $50, $65, $100, $250, or the best gift you can today to help fund the next Blackstone class.

The students who attend Blackstone are of exemplary character and courage. They're exactly who our country needs in leadership positions.

And remember—your gift will be doubled while matching funds last!

This is an urgent moment. The screaming, wall-pounding, foot-pounding student mob at Yale represents the future of the legal profession—if we do nothing about it. That's exactly why we need to vigorously protect freedom of speech and raise up future, principled leaders through Blackstone who will do the same.

We must restore a culture of freedom and civil discourse at Yale and other law schools, or the future of the legal profession will remain in dire straits. Free speech and freedom of thought are the cornerstones of all free societies. Our other freedoms go as they do.

Please take this opportunity to make a gift to help train and equip our future leaders through Blackstone.

What kind of America the next generation inherits depends on the small, courageous choices of people like you.

For freedom,

Michael Farris

P.S. What happened at Yale has only deepened Alliance Defending Freedom's commitment to civility, kindness, and principle—and the raising up of the next generation of leaders.
