23:35 minutes (9.45 MB)  An interview that Jerry had with station WPNW in Holland, MI. It gives us a great insight into where we are as a nation, and who we should really fear - terrorist groups - or OURSELVES!

     On January 22, 1973, a law was passed in America that was so harsh, so cruel, I believed that it would never last. I truly believed that we "civilized" citizens of our United States would never allow ourselves to become a part to such a horrible crime, but we did, and this law is still in place today.

 In 1992, in his speech to the Republican Convention, Ronald Reagan listed the "Ten Cannots" for our nation.

In 1917, Martin Treptow lived in Cherokee, Iowa. He was a barber, a common man.

Since I was a small boy I've spent a lot of time fishing. And one thing I learned early on...even a dead fish can swim downstream. But, it takes a strong fish to swim against the current. God tells us that as Christians we should not follow the ways of the world. That we should, "Be not conformed". But literally millions of Christians have ignored God's Word and are doing just that...floating with the current. Sad to say, many Christians today live so much like the world...you can't even tell they're Christians.

This unbelievable man-made structure was built for protection. And these people who spent literally hundreds of years building it thought that once it was completed, it would be uncrackable.

By Jerry Stewart - Vision Productions    What did it take for our founding fathers to declare our nation's independence?  Courage,determination, faith? All of these - but one more.
