Let's welcome into this house
his majesty, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. King of kings and Lord of lords. For all of you Christians who
may be a bit discouraged, I want to tell you, we win because he
won. He's a living savior. I want you to turn with me to
several passages of scripture today. beginning in the book
of Genesis, and I'll give these to you, and I certainly want
to take some time to read them. If you are in shocking unbelief
of the things I shall say today, I ask you to simply go home and
consider them. See if they can be found in the
word of God and line up with God's word. I know this, that
the Bible is our only rule of faith and practice as a Christian.
If the Bible says it, we believe it, because it is God's holy
word. And Jesus Christ is the word
made flesh and tabernacled among us. And when God speaks to us,
he speaks to us from his everlasting word that is forever settled.
So children of God today, permit the word of God to speak to you. Genesis chapter six. Genesis chapter six. Verses five and six. And God
saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth. and that every imagination of
the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that
he had made man on the earth and it grieved him at his heart.
And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, and
the creeping thing and the fowls of the air, for it repenteth
me that I have made them, but Noah found grace in the eyes
of the Lord. And then Genesis 13 and verse 12. And Abraham dwelt in
the land of Canaan, And Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain and
pitched his tent towards Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked
and sinners before the Lord exceedingly. And then Genesis 19, and I will
try to simply skim through this chapter. When you get home today,
read all of it and be amazed at the depravity of man. And
there were two angels in verse one that came to Sodom to rescue
Lot and his wife, his sons-in-law, and his daughters. And Lot met them at the door
and begged them to come in because he knew what was going to happen
in verse two. And he said to those two angels
in verse two, he said, now you got to get up early and get out
of here. And there was a reason for that. Rise up early and go
on your way. And they said, no, in verse two,
but we will abide in the street all night. And Lot said, you
can't do that. You can't abide in the street
because you will be raped. And he pressed upon them greatly,
and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house, and
he made them a feast, he made them dinner. Verse four, but
before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of the city,
even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and
young, all the people from every quarter. And they called unto
Lot and said unto him in verse five, where are the men which
came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us that we
may know them, literally lay with them. And Lot went out of
the door unto them and shut the door after him and said, I pray
you brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold, now I have two daughters
which have not known man. You are reading that in your
Bible, are you? Okay, don't look shocked at me. This is the word
of God. Lot said, I have two daughters,
you can have them. And of course, the two angels
had to pull Lot back in in verse nine, back into the house. And if you go down to verse 13,
God says, we're gonna destroy this place. God said that, the God of the
Bible. I'm gonna destroy this place.
You will find time and over again where the God of the Bible says,
the wickedness is so great, the only way to stop it is to wipe
it out. Judgment. And in case you don't
know, You're summarizing that God is love, and you are quoting
that passage of scripture, and he is, but God is holy. And God is a purer eyes than
to look upon sin. And God despises sin so much
that it took his only son. to bear the just judgment of
our sins and our iniquities. Don't think you will go to heaven
without judgment. You will not. The only way you
will go to heaven is because Christ was judged in your stead,
in your room, and in your place. The God of this Bible is not
Santa Claus. He's holy. He's righteous. And until you get there, you
will never appreciate the gospel of Jesus Christ. God is just. If you go over to the book of
Romans, and I know all of your minds are racing, and they don't
have to race because you already know where I'm going, and I admit
it. I want you to know what God says
about same-sex marriage. I want you to know more about
what God says than you know about what the Supreme Court says. And by the way, getting just
a little ahead of myself, five lawyers redefined marriage, but
God has not redefined marriage. Amen, church. Don't be backing
up on me here. God clearly says that marriage
is between a man and a woman. There's no doubt about that.
Now let me hastily say here, if you're a lesbian or you're
a gay guy, God loves sinners. He loves fornicators. God forgives
fornicators, adulterers, religious people. There is forgiveness
with God. Those of you who have had abortions,
God forgives that. There is hope for you in Jesus
Christ. So as I talk about judgment today,
let me make it very clear that I am not judging you. I'm telling
you what God says. And I'm also going to tell you
right off the bat that there is a refuge for sinners. There
is a hope for sinners, but it's in Jesus Christ. So please remember
that. Now to the book of Romans. In Romans chapter one, the Bible says that here in Romans
1, 22, that they professed them to be wise, but they became fools.
They did not glorify God. Verse 21 says, they were not
thankful and became foolish in their hearts and their hearts
were darkened. They changed the glory of the
uncorruptible God into an image made like the corruptible man,
birds, four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Isn't it amazing
what man will worship? He'll cut something out of a
piece of tree and bow down before it and worship it because it's
made with his own hands. Man by nature is depraved and
wants a God of his own creation. And man in his depravity resists
the holiness of God and the righteousness of God and the gospel of God. Verse 28 said, And even as they
did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them
over to a reprobate mind to do the things which are not convenient
or natural. being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy,
murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whispers, backbiters, haters
of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient
to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural
affection, implacable, unmerciful. Now watch that last verse, verse
32, who knowing the judgment of God, who knowing the judgment
of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. God wrote that. God, even in
His Word, goes, even their women changed the natural use. I wanna go to one other passage,
and then we'll talk a little bit here. It's always good to side with
God. Always. Question is, who's on the Lord's
side? But in the Revelation, it says
this. This is kind of the, toward the end of things down here. Revelation 6, 12. And I beheld when he had opened
the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became black as sackcloth
of hair, and the moon became as blood, and the stars of heaven,
which are bigger than our earth, fell even as fig trees casteth
her untimely figs. when she is shaken of a mighty
wind. I can tell you this, sooner or later, God's gonna take this
old earth and shake it really good. You hear now on the news
about planets that seem to be moving toward earth. And what
are we going to do if they hit the earth? It will destroy the
earth. That's not so science fictitious.
God's going to make that happen one day. I can tell you this,
this old world as we know it is not going to last. The question
is kind of how long. Verse 14 says, And the heaven
departed as a scroll when it is rolled together, and every
mountain and island were moved out of their places. That's a
shaking. And the kings of the earth, and
great men, and rich men, and chief captains, and the mighty
men, and every bondman, and every free man hid themselves in dens
in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains, and
rocks, fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth
on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day
of his wrath has come. Who shall be able to stand? You
know that's true. There's not a person in here
that doesn't have some consciousness that things aren't right and
that God one day will judge this world. There's not a person in
here who does not know in your innermost being that there is
a God who created the heavens and the earth because God has
put it in you. The foolish man has said in his
heart, there is no God for me. Oh, you have a God, it's just
not the God of the Bible. But I will tell you this too,
there comes a day when every knee shall bow and every tongue
shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. In 2006, November, I wrote this
to my fellow pastors across the country. Dear brothers, these are my comments
to our church this morning. The first time William Jefferson
Clinton ran for president, 119 million Americans eligible to
vote did not. 119 million. 29% of everyone who voted that
election year said they were born again and attended church
regularly. That's the good news. The bad
news is that 36% of the 29% who voted, voted for William Jefferson
Clinton, the most pro-abortion president in America's history
until today. It is the civic duty of every
American to vote. It is the spiritual responsibility
of every Christian to vote. It is the Christian's duty to
vote. With this conviction of heart, what would Jesus do? We must care as the people of
God. We must be the salt of the earth.
It may come as a shock to some of you, but God is not the mascot
of the Republican Party. God is not a Democrat. God is
not even an American. But this we can rest assure of. God hates the murder of innocent
unborn children. That was a weak amen. We Christians
must not disengage ourselves from the culture in which we
live. We cannot draw to our padded church pews while our nation
is lost in a sea of unrighteousness. In America, we have lost the
moral will to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong.
Politicians have told us to keep our morality to ourselves, and
we have obeyed them. Christianity is not a threat
to good government. Many in America have come to
believe that the purpose of government are best achieved by imposing
a wall of separation between religion and public life. This
is a very different view from that held by our founding fathers,
and particularly George Washington, Our first president who said,
true religion offers to government its surest support. In fact,
Washington said that without God and the Bible, it would be
impossible to govern America. You are seeing it happen before
your very eyes. This country has gone wild. It is difficult to govern this
country. Perhaps that's why today, having
banished the Bible and nearly all religious expression from
public life, we have found it increasingly impossible to govern
this nation. Christians like you and I have
been driven out of the public square. We have believed the
lie of separation of church and state. Let me say that again. We have believed the lie of separation
of church and state. The constitution was written
to protect us from government. And what I fear today is the
feds are coming. The feds are coming. That wasn't
in my letter. Religion and politics must not
be kept separate. For 25 years now, I have encouraged
you to run for office, to vote. And believe you me, I will continue
to do that. Adolf Hitler said to the clergy
of Germany, The soul of Germany, you can leave that to me. Those
are Hitler's exact words to the clergy, to the preachers, to
the pastors, to the churches. The clergy, along with the church
membership, looked the other way and kept looking the other
way until it was too late for the soul of Germany. I would
propose to you that America's Christians have looked the other
way. And if we keep it up, It'll be
too late. Remember, this was in 2006. Someone
has said that greatness and goodness go together. America's vitality
is her people. People of virtue, character,
and righteousness. A country where the people rule
has to be a moral country. What would happen if Christians
didn't vote? Well, I can only imagine what would happen if
Christians didn't vote. Terrible and dreadful things
would happen in a nation that has led the world in its acknowledging
the existence of God and his righteousness. If Christians
didn't vote, we might see abortion legalized. Remember, I wrote
this years ago. and 40 million babies slaughtered
in the abortion mills. Way over that now. If Christians
didn't vote, a procedure as barbaric as partial birth abortion might
be legalized, and children up to eight months resting in their
mother's womb would find themselves being pulled feet first from
the warm womb, and with their little head still nestled in
their mother's body, an instrument in the hands of a doctor would
be inserted into the womb and into their skulls, followed by
a suction tube that would suck their brains from their little
skulls. I know it's hard to sit through
that. It's happening. It has happened. It is happening
in the United States of America. Why, if Christians didn't vote,
we would see God, the Ten Commandments, and prayer taken out of the schoolhouse,
and from graduation exercises, and athletic events, and they
would be replaced with police dogs in the halls. and metal
detectors in our schools. If Christians didn't vote, our
children would be taught that they're nothing but gas and dust,
having no real purpose in life, nothing but accidents. And if
that happens, they might lose all respect for life and start
killing one another and killing themselves. If Christians didn't
vote, America would lead the industrialized nation in teen
suicide, teen violent crime. If Christians didn't vote, America
would lead the world in the breakup of the family and the incarceration
of our citizens. If Christians didn't vote, drug
addicts would be put on disability and welfare rolls would grow
along with taxes. If Christians did not vote, charities
would become places of handouts, flophouses, enablement would
take the place of responsibility, and entitlement would be the
norm rather than accountability. If Christians didn't vote, you
might hear some political leader saying, the soul of America,
leave that to me. The man who wrote Amazing Grace,
John Newton. over 200 years ago said this,
when God is exceedingly displeased with a people, it is not necessary
in order to their punishment that he bury them alive by an
earthquake, nor destroy them by lightning, if he only leaves
them to themselves. withdraws his blessings from
their counsels and his restraint from their passion. Their ruin
follows on course according to the necessary order and connection
of causes and effects. The only thing that keeps this
nation from ruin is God Almighty. The worst judgment You know,
I must say to you honestly, I would love to see, and maybe to some
degree we are, people have asked me, what about the floods? What
about the weather changes? What about the earthquakes? I
don't know. Perhaps it could be God whispering
to us. I would rather see fire and brimstone
fall from heaven. I would rather see it rain for
40 days and 40 nights than for God to go fishing and just leave
us to ourselves and not speak. The worst judgment is for God
not to speak to us. I thought while we were singing,
thank you, Jesus, because I sensed his presence here with us. And
what a refreshment it is every Sunday and Wednesday to come
into this place and know that he is still with us. to some degree, Jeremiah, the
weeping prophet saw what was coming and wept and wept and
wept and warned his nation and said, God is a stranger in our
land in Jeremiah 14. And Jeremiah said, Lord, don't
leave us. Don't be like a man that's turned to stone. Speak
to us. My friends, we need a word from
God. The very fact that some of you
even are here this morning and are taking a little nap as I
speak is most evident. You have no fear. You don't believe
what I'm saying. Neither did Jeremiah and the
people of that day believe the prophet. Oftentimes the pastor,
the preacher, the prophet cries and people look and pay no heed. And I say to every one of you
today, it is appointed unto man once to die. And after that,
the judgment. You are going to face God. You're
going to stand before God. I pray he speaks to us. here
in this church. In fact, I can't even dream of
a worse judgment. Proverbs 1 says this, because
I've called and you refuse, I've stretched out my hand and no
man regarded, but you have set at naught all my counsel and
would none of my reproof. And then God said this, your
calamity is coming. You may be a hairy-chested, mancho
guy here today, but I can tell you this, the day is coming when
you're gonna shake like a leaf on a tree. And all of your manchoness
is going to be gone. And the terror of God Almighty. Say, pastor, you're trying to
scare us to get saved. No, only God can save a sinner.
But God has commissioned me to blow the trumpet in Zion to give
warning. There comes a day when the terror
will be so bad that men and women will cry for the rocks in the
mountains to fall on them from the wrath of the great and almighty
God. One day, this nation will be
filled with its own devices. I wrote in my notes, dear God,
may this church be an instrument through which you will reveal
yourself. One more time. Somebody said, I think we're
past the redemption mark. I think there's no turning back.
I think we're going over the falls. I think it's too late.
It's never too late for our God. Remember that. He's a mighty
God. 12 years ago, 13 years ago, we were
the first rescue mission ever to be raided by a local police
department. This whole city administratively
had turned on us. They were doing their best to
run us out of this city. The police raided it at 4 or
5 a.m. in the morning, took people to
police departments all over, to courts all over this state. It was a horrific time. refused
to let our people pray, refused to let them sing. It was a terrific
time. And it didn't look like there
was any hope for the little old Pontiac rescue mission. But you
know what happened? We registered folks to vote.
There was election coming up in November. And that whole bunch
was put out by 69 votes. Say, well, you know, you're an
inner city rescue mission type church over there. You think
you're going to change the world? No, but our God can. And he can
certainly turn America back. We already do lead the industrialized
world in teen violent crime, teen suicide. We lead the industrialized
world in divorce, the breakup of the family. We lead the industrialized
world in the incarceration of our citizens. 1.3 million children's
parents are in prison in America. 65% do not see their parents. 500,000 poverty children in the
state of Michigan. Our inner cities are wastelands.
Look at Baltimore. America has become the greatest
mission field in the world. Amen. I tell pastors all the
time, you don't have to go to Brazil or Peru or Africa, come
to Pontiac. I tell you this too, some of
you baby boomers who are here, you can identify with this if
you think about it. The Church went to sleep after
World War II, and each move of the Spirit of God became weaker
and weaker. Each generation got further from
acknowledging God. And finally, here we are. Some
of you are sitting right here, addicted to heroin and and crack
and all kinds of addictions. And you sit right there without
hope. You sit right there believing
there is no God, swallowing this whole mess, living in your lasciviousness. The only hope is that there is
a God for you. That's the only hope. I think the church to some degree
has awakened from a long slumber. of non-involvement, non-engagement. I hear pastors making statements,
or read at least of pastors making statements, we must not get too
involved, we must not mention it in our church. Well, I'm telling
you, my friend, I'll just give you a heads up, if you're gonna
attend here, you're gonna hear it, because I'm going to blow
the trumpet. You know what happened when we
woke up? We found our grandchildren are
drunks and drug addicts. Our grandsons
do not know how to be men who are loving husbands and fathers. Instead, they are studs breeding
like dogs, producing children uncared for and unwanted. Our granddaughters sell themselves
to the drug man for drugs in an attempt to fill the awful
void for a man who will love them and father their children.
Amen. The human sex trade rages in
this country. We have more human slaves now
than at any time in the history of the world. kidnapping and selling of children
into the sex market until they're used up and murdered and their
little bodies thrown away like garbage. Last night, or Friday night,
I saw some of the videos of harvested baby body parts by Planned Parenthood. I heard the doctor say, it is
difficult to get a complete cadaverous fetus Now that is nice mumbo
jumbo for a dead baby that we've killed. A cadaverous fetus. Is that sinking
into you? It is very difficult to get a
full grown baby out of the womb. We've got to take parts. murdered in the abortion process.
I saw kidneys and livers and little hands and feet in the
plastic containers that they were being shipped to purchasers.
Will you just permit me to say it straight? Maybe you won't,
but I'm going to say it anyway. What are we talking about here? Will you just think for a minute
what we're talking about? What we're talking about is the
stream of baby body parts put into commerce. In other words,
for sale. That's what we're talking about.
Dead, aborted babies that are for sale. You feel a little emotion? I hope you do, because if you
don't, there's something bad wrong with you. Amen. Let me say here to Democrat and
Republican alike, and especially to Mitch McConnell, who seems
to want to back off of immediate defunding of Planned Parenthood,
I call you by name and do all within my power as a Christian
citizen to remove you from office. if you back down on defunding
Planned Parenthood. Now I know you're thinking I'm
getting into this politics and you think what you want. This
is not politics, this is Bible stuff to me. I'm not talking
Democrat, Republican. But I will tell you this, I know
this, there are 54 Republicans elected by the American people.
And it only takes 41 votes in the US Senate to block any bill
that funds Planned Parenthood. So I got my eye on 54 Republicans. You better. Let me tell you, all lives matter. Pigs in a blanket? Fry them like
bacon? What? Kill police officers? Let me tell you, police officers'
lives matter here. Of course life matters. Red or
yellow, black or white, our baby's in the womb. Life matters. Thursday night, the first shot
was fired signifying the feds are coming. Kim Davis, county
clerk in the state of Kentucky, was arrested by federal marshals
for not issuing marriage certificates to same-sex marriage couples. They're making it criminal to
be a Christian and take a stand. There was another way they could
have done that. They didn't have to arrest her. And my question is this to you.
We're gonna find out who is and who isn't. The day's coming when
we'll find out whether you're on the Lord's side, whether this
whole thing is real. And by the way, just so you know,
the citizens of Kentucky had voted down the proposal to grant
same-sex marriages months ago. The state had, the state of Kentucky,
the people of Kentucky voted it down, and five lawyers, Change
the definition of marriage. There's nine judges on that court. Four voted against same-sex marriage. Just so you know, think about
this. You know 550 people run this nation and we elected them? If you just count the House of
Representatives, you count the Supreme Court, count the Senate,
count the President, count the different people, you'll find
550. What if we elected 550 different people to go to Washington? This is America, so I can say
this. I may be going to jail soon, I don't know, but Justice
Kennedy, who is an outright liberal, a non-believer, has said that,
this is his quote, that the same-sex marriage thing will soon blow
over. It was that way when the court
ruled that under the Constitution, people had the right to burn
the American flag. There was a lot of protesters
at first, and then it all blew over. And I say to you, Justice
Kennedy, this one won't blow over. You know what I thought when
I read this? I don't know, because when you get 71, you think about
the past a lot. I thought about, when I read
he said this about the American flag being stepped on and burnt,
I thought about 62 years ago, I went to Briggs Stadium with
my dad. I was just a kid at that time,
a little boy. And I remember this so well. They played the National Anthem,
and they said, let's all stand for the playing of the National
Anthem. It was Al Kaline's first game. He didn't get a hit that
night, that day. 62 years ago, I watched my dad. He didn't move. He didn't move. Everybody took
their hat off. What happened to America the
beautiful? What has happened to America the beautiful? Something's
happened. The absence of God. I don't know whether you know,
I don't know how much you know about this Supreme Court ruling, but four of those judges were opposed to it. That means
it won and passed by one vote. You had nine people, five people
actually, redefining marriage. Five people. Four were opposed. And vigorously opposed. And the
news media kept it down. This is Judge Scalia. Here's
what he says. In his nine-page dissent, Scalia
ripped into the majority opinion, calling it judicial punishment
that poses a threat to American democracy. He added that a system
of government that makes the people subordinate to a committee
of nine unelected lawyers does not deserve to be called democracy. I said, amen. The court's naked
judicial claim to legislative, indeed super legislative power,
bulldozed the right of the people to self-government. In other words, we're not a free country anymore. And I say this to you. Marriage
was historically a religious covenant first, and a government
recognized contract second. And I will say to any of you
who want to get married, without a license, this is gonna take
your breath, come and see me. You don't have to go to 1200
anymore to get my approval for it. I will marry you before God
because this nation has redefined marriage. Now, let me put an addition there. You know, because of legal reasons,
You'll have to probably get a license if you're going to have a will,
and you're going to do governmental things and social security. You'll
have to go do that. But that's the law of the land. But as far as I'm concerned,
marriage now is before God. It was always before God. I always
questioned why you had to pay $30 for a license anyway. Have you ever thought of this?
What happened to America the Beautiful? What happened to Father
Knows Best? What happened to Little House
on the Prairie? What happened to Mommy and Daddy? What happened? I'll tell you what happened,
the absence of God. I heard a Republican say the
other day, we must not let social ills rise to the top because
the Democrats will shut down government and then blame us
for it. I thought to myself, shut her down. Does America have social problems? Are you kidding me? Why would
anybody ask that question if America has social problems?
The building block of a solid society. I've said this for 37
years here at this church. What I'm saying to you today
is not something new. If you've been around here for
30 years, what I'm saying, you've heard me say before. The building block of a solid
society is God, family. God-ordained family. I've been
saying that over at Grace Centers of Hope for 25 years. No, you're
not going to commit adultery, fornication and live like animals. God ordained marriage. Why don't
we have community today? I've done my best to create a
literal community here called Little Grace Village and a church
community here and to push and promote that men marry a woman
and take care of her and those babies. dads who work. Honestly, my heart bleeds. I
read this past week that there are more illegal aliens in America
on welfare than there are American legalized citizens on welfare. Do you understand what that means?
That means you're $20 trillion in debt. because we are funding people
who come into this country illegally. Whatever happened to Ellis Island? Whatever happened to the Statute
of Liberty? Whatever happened to, I swear
to give myself to the citizenship of this country and go to war
if need be for this nation and serve? What happened to that?
Now we talk pigs in a blanket, kill babies. What happened to
America, the beautiful? It's godless. The silence of
God. What happened to work ethic?
You know, the Bible is very clear about that. If you don't work,
you don't eat. And I say this to all of you and have been saying
this for years. I am not for entitlement, enablement,
in any way, shape, or form. Get off your butt, Baba, and
get a job. OK, I got a little excited there. I'm going to tell you this, students,
so you won't be surprised when it happens. That money you have, I got some
money in my wallet, some greenbacks, isn't worth the paper it's written
on. How can you be $20 trillion in debt? You have no gold or
silver to back those dollar bills up. They're worthless government
paper. We haven't realized it yet, but there's a day coming. If
we don't turn back to God, we talk about jobs in this economy.
What do you think? Who do you think made America
great? Our God did. We've just made
a peace treaty or it's going to happen because that guy we
got up there is going to make it happen. We just made a peace
treaty with people who are chanting death to America. We just made
a treaty with people who have said they're going to drop the
bomb on Israel. Do you understand that? I got
hearing aids. I understand that very clearly.
What that means is those heathens are going to kill the Jewish
people and the Jewish nation. That's their desire. America
has been the friend of Israel. And by the way, I can tell you
this right now. I can tell you this. America's
on the wrong side. Do you know my savior was a Jew? Yeah. Yeah. Say, well, pastor,
I came here to get uplifted. I'm going to leave depressed. Well, you can leave depressed.
You can turn your head away and act like it's not happening.
You can go to churches that have a form of religion and pass the
plate and sing a few hymns and do that religious thing and act
like it's not happening, but one day you're gonna wake up. This was a wake up call this
morning. I'm not, I said, Ms. Pam, I said, you know, this thing
of judgment is not my kind of preaching. I seldom preach the
way I have today. But I'll tell you, there's a
fire burning inside of me. I see it. The house is on fire. Should I go, wow, huh? Or should I scream, get out. The place is burning down. Something's
happening. Well, I'm only one person. Are
you a registered one person? Let's stand together and praise
our God.

About Kent Clark
Kent Ward Clark is the Senior Pastor of Grace Gospel Fellowship and Chief Executive Officer of Grace Centers of Hope, (www.gracecentersofhope.org) Oakland County, Michigan’s oldest and largest homeless shelter for 20 years. Over the years, his vision and leadership has transformed the ministry of Grace Centers of Hope into one of Southeastern, Michigan’s leading faith-based institutions. Pastor Clark is widely known as a speaker at Sovereign Grace conferences around the country. The Pastor’s preaching style and theological content remind us of the immortal John Bunyan. Pastor Clark believes the Lord God himself has ordained two institutions as the building blocks of a solid society. One is the “Family” and the other is the “Local Church”, founded upon the Lord Jesus Christ himself. Pastor Clark has seen the power of true assurance of salvation transform lives from despair to victory! Pastor Clark was born in Lowes, Kentucky. He has been married to Dr. Pam Clark for 36 years and they have two daughters, Shannon and Amber, who proudly serve alongside their parents at Grace Centers of Hope. Pastor Clark can be heard on the radio every morning on WMUZ, 103.5 FM, at 7:45 am and 8:45 am. He is also available to speak at various churches, conferences, and other special events.
