    E 327: Moral Truths Avoided In Todays Pulpits
    2026/09/30
    It's great to have Mark join Paul and I back in studio. Welcome to One Day Closer where we are rekindling a spirit of Hope and Truth in today's crazy conversations.Today we will be exploring the Moral Truths that many Pastors avoid like the plague while behind the pulpit. There are just some moral truths that pastors and priest refuse to discuss. We will explore why that is and step out and share these truths with you. We’ve talked about Federal Stupidity and Apathy which is rampant in our society. Check out episode 145 “individual Apathy”.Here's today foundational scripture:2 Timothy 4:3-4 "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."Corruption in politics; Corruption within Corporate America; Societal Silence: The fear of tackling cultural and societal issues contrary to moral truth.God is binary; Trans Sports conflict; Critical Race Theory; Gender Confusion; Gender Affirming Mutilation, etc.Can you recall a Pastor ever coming to the fore to speak truth to these issues?WHO and where are the Prophets, Overseers, Watchmen, and spiritual voices today?Who were they in biblical days? - Moses wasn’t elected. He was called. Joshua was appointed. David was anointed. Who are they today? Franklin Graham, Dr. Jeffries, Charles Stanley, Pastor HibbsThe difference between “elders or overseers” of the early church and pastors today.Our second foundational scripture for today:1 Timothy 3:1–7"If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil."Qualifications for Overseers. Paul does not give a job description of the pastor but instead describes the character of one who would serve in this office. The list of qualities is not intended to be exhaustive but pictures a person of mature Christian character, one whose faith has had tangible impact on his behavior.Let’s talk about Individual Apathy. You might say…”the problems in the world today are TOO BIG…TOO VAST…THE MOUNTAIN IS SIMPLY TOO HIGH. What can I possibly do? ZOOM in on YOUR specific area of influence. Don’t be overwhelmed about the height, breadth or depth of the obstacle. Bible verses to ponder about Apathy and biblical guidance for us to follow.Revelation 3:16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.Romans 12:11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.Revelation 3:2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my GodJames 4:17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give upHebrews 5:11-12 About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food,1 Thessalonians 5:21 But test everything; hold fast what is good.Matthew 24:12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.Hebrews 10:38-39 But my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.Isaiah 5:20-21 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sightHebrews 3:6 But Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doingLike and follow our show:www.onedaycloser.bizodc22@proton.meTodays out musical feature: Shane and Shane, I'm Fighting a BattleSend us Fan Mail

  • E 326: The Case for Meritocracy in Government: Hiring Requirements & Job Qualifications

    E 326: The Case for Meritocracy in Government: Hiring Requirements & Job Qualifications
    2026/09/23

    Meritocracy is a social, political, or economic system where people get power, success, and rewards based on their individual talents and hard work rather than their wealth or family background

    The United States government operates as a democratic republic rather than a pure Meritocracy, meaning political power is won through public elections and political appointments rather than strictly through tested ability or expertise.

    But shouldn't these elected or appointed representatives have real world expertise or qualifications to be considered?

    If you have never been a low level supervisor managing a department of ten people, how could you possibly manage the numerous budgets and personnel to run one of the largest cities on the planet?

    In the corporate world, job candidates or applicants are recruited, vetted and eventually selected to fill a role based on their previous work experience and their success.

    Today we will discuss why this discipline of Meritocracy vetting needs to be reconsidered in politics today.

    Democratic Elections vs. Meritocracy

    Popularity over test scores: Voters choose leaders based on political views, campaigns, and public appeal instead of academic or technical exams. But what about job qualifications? Shouldn't that also be a criteria?

    Merit-Based Elements in Government

    Civil service rules: Lower- and mid-level government workers often get hired and promoted through exams and structured qualification standards.

  • E 325: Never Forget: A Message to Gen Z

    E 325: Never Forget: A Message to Gen Z
    2026/09/16
    A message for Gen Z. Peace & Prosperity is on the ballot.Welcome back to One Day Closer where we are rekindling a spirit of Hope and Truth into today’s conversations. If you are joining us for the first time, we have spent the past month teeing up the importance of this year’s midterms in America. For our listeners abroad who may care little for our elections, bear with us, the outcome of these elections just might affect your region of the world, either in a good way or a bad way.Which begs the question, what is on the line in the upcoming Midterms? Do you want to relive the Biden Presidency of ongoing Impeachment procedures against Trump and his cabinet or continue to enjoy the anticipated growth and prosperity coming with Trumps Golden Age Vision?The democrat party is united and has gone on record stating that their number one priority should they win the midterms and take control of the House and Senate, they will be hellbent on obstructing Trumps current success in delivering on his promise of establishing a strong foundation for Americas Golden Age.Under Biden we all endured divisive division among the races, classes and ethnic groups. Interest rates were north of 9.4%. Under Trump inflation is currently 3%. Under Biden, gas prices were as high as $8 dollars pending where you lived. The dems have vowed to pursue Impeachment proceedings day one. We have lived through this before. Instead of building a stronger America they spent their time and energy to make her weak and vulnerable on the global stage and here at home.In your episode 291 entitled “2026 House Cleaning: Sunlight is the best disinfectant,” you and Mark captured many of differences under democrat leadership and republican leadership. Here’s a quick review.Last year, Trumps first year of his second term, revealed just how severe Trump Derangement illness is. After witnessing a Trump mandate smackdown…the left learned nothing. After all the votes were counted, Kamala and Waltz were not just losers, they left the party bankrupt and in debt for over $20 million! And their supporters did not run them out of town! Their supporters didn’t seem to care. Why? While you’re there, listen to our show “2025 in the rearview mirror: The year of the American Heist.” That would be episode 288. We discuss two significant accomplishments that occurred last year.The election of Donald J Trump confirmed that Americans aren’t crazy. They voted for a FIXERElon Musk unleashed DOGE - The first American Deep state Audit in DecadesThis Long Overdue Audit of the Deep State revealed jaw dropping revelations.The level of Fraud, Waste and Abuse proved to be staggering in size and systemic in scope, known but overlooked for decades, primarily in blue cities. USAid - $9billion. In June, Senate passed the $9B Rescission Bill to cut additional spending, defunding US AID, PBS and NPR, first in 30 years! The Minnesota Somali Scam initially thought to be $1 billion in stolen tax payer dollars is now projected to pass $18 to $20 billion! An industrial scale fraud. And that’s just one blue state. Rep. Omar founded the Feed the Future scam at $250m. Fake food kitchens for children that didn’t exist. Ilhan Omar, Senator was worth $65,000 in 2018. In 2025 she was worth $30 million. How does that work? Don’t forget the Somali Autism Scam $1-$2B. Autism clinics increased from 20 to over 400 needing millions in funding to tend to the crisis…which was a scam. The amount of fraud, corruption, scamming, looting from the American treasury could exceed a half a Trillion if this same trend manifests in the other blue states.Scamsters who claimed to be over 115 years old, scored loans worth $333 million, including $36,000 to a 157-year-old. Auditors also found that $79 billion - nearly half of the improper payments - could have been prevented if simple fraud-detection questions had been asked of applicants Student Loan fraud exposed by Linda McMahon, Education Secretary. $1B in loans were issued to bots, ghost students or dead people…no oversight or ID verification requirements.Let’s take a look at what happened under TrumpForeign Affairs & US Relationships & Influence Abroad:Irans nuclear uranium enrichment pursuits was setback decadesHezbollah, Yemen, Hamas has been dealt with.Trumps approach to cleaning up the backyard…the Western Hemisphere is bold and long overdue. Global respect on the world stage restored. Remember the receptions Trump got in London, Saudi Arabia this past year with the Palace Guards on horseback leading the motorcade to the PalacesPeace Maker in eight different global conflicts EU / NATO agreed to 5% of their GDP towards self defenseDomestic Affairs & Accomplishments:Most secure border in American history accomplished in just 7 weeksDHS announced for Christmas 2025, that over 2.5 million illegal aliens had been sent home; 1 million have SELF ...
