| 0:00.0 | Yesterday, here are some of the things that we would have maybe heard or thought about, |
| 0:04.8 | especially as Christians. So this one's not particular to Christians, the first one here, |
| 0:09.0 | but when the 13 colonies were making their decision to separate from Great Britain, |
| 0:14.0 | they occupied around 430,000 square miles. Now, you could go up to about 800,000 square miles, |
| 0:19.2 | depending on how much land they claimed, but that was the, that's what they actually controlled, about 430 square miles, 30,000 square miles. |
| 0:26.6 | It is now eight times that size, our country. We have over 3,700,000 square miles, and we reached that state in 1959. In 1890, we became the world's largest |
| 0:40.8 | economy. We, and this is particular for Christians, we sent the largest missionary force starting |
| 0:48.3 | in the early 1900s to reach the world for the gospel. And as you could see right before we started |
| 0:53.4 | talking when Winston was up here, we're still |
| 0:55.7 | doing that. |

| 1:19.6 | According to the World Aid Foundation in 2019, the U.S. is the most generous country in the world when it comes to private charity. So when we hear about how greedy Americans are and terrible, just remember that too. |
| 1:26.6 | Americans give more to charity than any other country in the world. |
| 1:31.3 | We win every war we engage in except the ones we decide ourselves not to win. I mean, that's kind of an advantageous position to be in. |
| 1:37.3 | If we lose a war, it's because we didn't really want to win it. We just tend to win everything, right? We're winners. We're used to winning, |
| 1:45.5 | as someone else might say, who will be unnamed. However, despite the fact that there's so many |
| 1:54.8 | positive things, just a few little negative things that we're aware of, I'm not going to spend |
| 1:59.5 | a lot of time on it, but there's a lot of moral |
| 2:01.9 | decay that's gone on in the last, especially 60 years. Within our country, we are, we have people here |
| 2:08.1 | that have made us the number one ranked in pornographic traffic around the world. We are in the top 10 |
