Welcome, everyone to Sunday Scriptures for Patriots.

My name is Sean Morgan.

I'm here with my co-host, Barry Dermaz.

And we're going to talk about the foundations of what is American Christian self-government.

And so we're going to go into all of that as soon as we come back from our sponsor

who supports our ministry. Gold is near all-time highs. Has it reached its peak? Did you miss the

boat? No, I don't think so. The exploding debt, change in the interest rate cycle, political and

economic turmoil have caused the current move in gold. And those things are getting worse. In fact, Citibank projected gold to hit $3,000 an ounce over the next 12 to 18 months. I encourage you to protect and grow your investment portfolio with gold. I trust Dr. Kirk Elliott with sovereign advisors. With over 25 years of experience and two PhDs, Kirk Elliott is the best of the best in the industry.

Call his office at 720-605-39000 and tell him Sean Morgan sent you or just click on the link in the description to get that free consultation.

Okay, Barry, you know, I know you have been studying this for a couple of decades now.

Tell me about what do you think some foundational concepts or terms that people should understand regarding self-government?

Sean, when most people are talking about the subject of government,

they're usually thinking of things that are external to them, all right?

Such as Washington, D.C., your state capital, or policing powers, you know, local policing

powers.

So just the term government, that's how we just have been trained to think.

Our culture thinks that way. It really thinks very externally, Sean. However, it was 25 years ago that I got

introduced to the Christian idea of government, which is self-government, right?

Government of oneself.

That's the Christian, or I even like to say the Christ, bring it down to him, not the Christian as a system,

but the person of Christ, the Christ's view of government is first governing one's vessel of their own body and their mind.

And even Christ, who was an incarnation of God himself, modeled, he modeled dependence on the Father.
