Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition, a pathway to victory.

No local church has ever lost its tax exempt status for anything the pastor has done in the pulpit.

Now, I don't encourage, I would not advise any pastor to officially endorse a political candidate from the pulpit.

But what I'm saying to pastors is, don't be intimidated from sharing what you believe is the truth of God's Word from your pulpit.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

Every day it seems like our country wanders farther away from the Christian principles upon which it was founded.

But the Bible warns that any nation that rejects God will eventually fall.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress teaches how the local church can be salt and light in order to preserve our nation for the proclamation of the gospel.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress, thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

We're living in uncharted territory these days, as the mainstream media continues to propagate lies about our country's heritage.

Maybe you've heard about the time our church decided to purchase the rights to a prominent billboard in my hometown of Dallas.

It was a shot heard around the world, debate ensued, the left accused me, Christians fainted, so what did the billboard say?

It said, America was founded as a Christian nation.

Well, it's eminently clear that America has strayed far from its biblical foundation, and it's equally clear that too many Americans have embraced a fanciful rendition of our nation's earliest days.

It's one of the many reasons I decided to write a brand new book for you and your family.

It's called very simply, America is a Christian nation, and this beautiful gift book is yours when you give a generous gift to support the ministry of Pathway to Victory.

Now, when you give generously to Pathway to Victory, you're not only entitled to request my book, but I want you to have complete confidence that your gift does far more than give you access to resources.

You're also making an investment in America's pastors, and all those who have come to rely on the Bible teaching they hear every day on this program.

Thanks so much for standing with me.

David and I will say more about the new book and other resources later, but right now let's continue a message we started on yesterday's program, originally delivered to an influential gathering of pastors and church leaders.
