WEBVTT 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.000 Thank you very much for that kind word of introduction. 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.359 I'm Brother James. 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.479 This is the Preaching of the Cross Radio Broadcast. 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:02.079 And we're happy that you're with us. 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.400 Hope you can stay with us for the next half an hour. 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:12.000 We believe with all of our heart that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, the life. 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:12.879 That's what he said. 00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.319 We don't make him a liar. 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:15.680 We believe him. 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.640 He said, No man cometh unto the Father but by me. 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:19.920 We believe there is a Father. 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.840 We believe there is a way to the Father. 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:27.359 We believe that way to the Father is the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:32.000 Christ died for our sins and was buried. 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.200 And the third day Jesus rose from the dead. 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:39.120 That's the gospel. 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:48.400 And the Bible says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:57.359 Now, before we continue our study on the history of Islam, I want to ask you a question. 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.719 I am as sincere about this as I can be. 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.480 This is as simple a question as anyone could ever ask. 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.479 It's not a hard question. 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.039 The answer is not difficult. 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:18.879 I want you to think for a minute about these words from the pages of the Holy Bible. 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:46.639 If Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, the life, and no man cometh unto the Father but by me, if those words are true, if Jesus Christ died and was buried and rose again, and that one may be saved, may receive eternal life by faith in Jesus Christ. 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:48.639 Now that's what the Bible says. 00:02:48.800 --> 00:03:10.719 If that is true, never mind the errors of the Muhammadan religion, never mind the errors of the Mormon religion, never mind the errors of the Jehovah's Witness religion, never mind the errors of the Christian science religion, never mind the errors of the Seventh-day Adventist religion. 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.159 Let me ask you something. 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:33.120 If salvation is freely given to sinners who put their faith and their trust in Jesus Christ, what possible need could there be for another religion and another way? 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:38.800 Let's suppose Islam contained no error. 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.520 I simply don't need it. 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.840 Let's suppose Mormonism contained no error. 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.080 I simply don't need it. 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:57.280 Let's suppose the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Christian scientists and the Adventists, let's suppose their movements contained no errors. 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.080 I simply don't need them. 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:15.199 Why would a person who has everlasting life through simple faith in God's own Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, why would I settle for something less? 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:30.879 Now all of these religions tell me about good works and good deeds, and if I try hard, and if I try hard long enough, and if I do right, I do right long enough, I might maybe someday could be hope so, cross your fingers, get to heaven. 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.759 Why would I settle for that? 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:45.759 When I can know of an absolute certainty that all my sins are forgiven and that I have life everlasting given me by Almighty God. 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.800 Now it's just that simple. 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.279 It's just that simple. 00:04:51.600 --> 00:05:07.279 And so what it comes down to is you either believe the word of God or you are lost in a hopeless maze of trying to do enough good to please God and you don't even know who God is. 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:10.800 That's a sad thing, in it. 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:26.560 That you would trade the opportunity to have absolute assurance of eternal life, and you would exchange that for working real hard and trying to be real good and hoping that'll get you to heaven. 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.040 That's what it all comes down to. 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:41.519 The armies of Islam after the death of Muhammad, and may I remind you that after Muhammad died he did not rise from the dead. 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.439 Jesus did, but not Muhammad. 00:05:45.680 --> 00:06:01.120 The armies of Islam swept toward all the quarters of the globe, irresistible as one of the fearful sandstorms of their own desert, Mecca, fell, then Damascus fell, then Jerusalem, followed by Constantinople, Seville, Grenada. 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:06.560 All fell at last under the despotic rule of Muslim dictators. 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:15.439 A little more than a hundred years, and they had captured the rest of North Africa, the southwestern half of Spain. 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:21.759 They had captured Turkestan, Samarkand, Persia, Armenia, and Egypt. 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:27.439 No, they had not gone into all the world preaching the good news that Muhammad saved sinners. 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:39.600 They had not gone into all the world preaching the good news that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life instead. 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:54.160 They had gone into all the world with sword and dagger, and through bloodshed, violence, murder, killing, rape, and plunder had spread their faith in a dead man. 00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:09.040 Cities, nations, whole sects and races, Arab pagans, Jews, Christians, Manichians, Zoroastrians, Tunerian pagans were swallowed up into this vast empire of Muhammad and his successors. 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:20.000 Charles Martel turned them back from France at the Battle of Tours in seven hundred two, and thereby saved the rest of Europe from this bloodshed. 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:41.519 Later when all Europe was aroused by their growing strength, the Roman Catholic Church sought to equal the Muhammadans in brutality and paganism and bloodshed and slaughter, and another false religion set forth in God's name to kill people who had killed in the name of their religion. 00:07:42.319 --> 00:08:02.399 And eight crusades, which lasted more than two hundred years, were waged as Roman Catholics battled Muslims for temporal control and power and the right to enslave the common people and plunder them and rob them and live off their toil and labor. 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:09.759 But the church at Rome was unable through eight crusades to gain and hold the city of Jerusalem. 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:18.399 Muhammad had begun this holy warfare with an attack upon a richly laden caravan which was on its way to Mecca. 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.800 It was practically unguarded, for it was during a season which all Arabs observed as a time of peace. 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:31.680 It was more than ten years before Mecca finally surrendered to Muhammad's armies. 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:39.600 The forces of Muhammad from this time engaged in battle after battle with almost unvarying success. 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:47.440 They would bring home to Medina great quantities of gold and merchandise, for that was the purpose of their warfare. 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:54.080 They didn't go forth to introduce men to the true and living God that their souls might be saved and their sins might be forgiven. 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.759 They went out to rob, they were a bunch of pirates on horseback. 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:08.320 A revelation from the angel Gabriel, Muhammad said, sanctioned this warfare of the sword and prescribed the fate of all the infidels. 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.399 Death to all unbelievers, death to the infidels. 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:21.759 Muhammad said, Quote, different prophets have been sent by God to illustrate his divine attributes. 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:42.240 Moses his clemency and providence, Solomon his wisdom, majesty, and glory, Jesus Christ his righteousness, omnipotence, and power, his righteousness by purity of conduct, his omniscience by the knowledge he displayed of the secrets of all hearts, his power by the miracles he wrought. 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:55.200 None of these attributes, however, have been sufficient to enforce conviction, and even the miracles of Joseph, of Moses and Jesus have been treated with unbelief. 00:09:55.759 --> 00:10:01.840 I, therefore, the last of the prophets, have been sent with the sword. 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.200 The sword is the key of heaven and of hell. 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:10.320 All who draw it in the cause of faith will be rewarded with temporal advantages. 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:26.559 Every drop shed of their blood, every peril and hardship endured by them will be registered on high as more meritous than either fasting or prayer. 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:40.000 If they fall in battle, their sins will be at once blotted out, and they will be transported to paradise, there to revel in eternal pleasures, and the arms of black eyed maidens. 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.399 Imagine that. 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:49.519 Here is a man who says the angel Gabriel told him to go out and kill. 00:10:50.639 --> 00:11:18.559 And he told man, told his followers, that if they would kill and shed blood, not only would their sins be forgiven, but they would have his words, his words, eternal pleasures in the arms of well the some translations of his word render it black-eyed, not maidens but harlots. 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:38.720 So the religion set forth by Muhammad is a religion that gives men sanction to kill in the name of God and offers them eternal life and eternal reward if they will shed blood and kill people who disagree with them. 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:49.840 Now, Jesus Christ, who Muhammad just said, I quoted Muhammad as saying, Jesus Christ manifested God's righteousness. 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:56.559 So Muhammad himself confessed that Jesus Christ showed us what God considered to be right. 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:06.480 The Bible says in John chapter 18, Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place. 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.720 For Jesus oft times resorted thither with his disciples. 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:18.320 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:24.159 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye? 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.440 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.080 Jesus saith unto them, I am he. 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:41.919 And Judas also which betrayed him stood with them, as soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward and fell to the ground. 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:48.480 You know, Jesus didn't need a sword to subdue his enemies. 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:58.399 He could have subdued them all by the word of his power had he chosen to do so, but he did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.679 Then ask ye them again, whom seek ye, and they said Jesus of Nazareth. 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.559 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:15.279 If therefore ye seek me, let these go their way, that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, of them which thou gavest me, have I lost none. 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:25.600 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.360 The servant's name was Malchus. 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:35.279 Then said Jesus unto Peter, put up thy sword into the sheath. 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:40.480 The cup which my father hath given me, shall I not drink it? 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:50.480 Jesus Christ the Lord told Peter to put away the sword. 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:55.919 I do not want you to kill my enemies. 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:59.840 I do not want you to smite my enemies. 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:05.039 I do not want you to draw the sword against my enemies. 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:10.000 I want you to put the sword away. 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.200 Now that's what he told him. 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:21.840 Muhammad claims that the angel Gabriel appeared to him. 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:29.039 And the angel Gabriel appeared to him and said, Don't believe Jesus. 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.480 Don't follow Jesus. 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:43.600 Now I I know that's not the that's not the quotation from Muhammad, but Jesus said put the sword away. 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:53.200 Gabriel supposedly, supposedly, told Muhammad to draw the sword. 00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:57.120 Jesus told his followers not to kill. 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:02.080 Muhammad supposedly told his followers to kill. 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:19.440 Jesus said, when two of his disciples went to call fire down from heaven and burn up his unbelieving people, people didn't believe on Jesus, the Lord told them that they didn't know what spirit they were of. 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:24.799 He said, The Son of Man came not to destroy men's lives, but to save them. 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:47.039 In fact, on that night when Peter drew the sword and smote that servant of the high priest Malchus and uh whacked off his ear, Jesus said in verse 52 of Matthew 26, Put up again thy sword into his place, for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:55.759 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels. 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.840 Jesus didn't need Peter's sword. 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.279 Jesus didn't need Muhammad's sword. 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.879 Jesus Christ did not come to kill, he came to give life. 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.759 He did not come to destroy, he came to save. 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:23.120 You say, but Brother James Muhammad said the angel Gabriel appeared to him and told him to go out and kill people, and that he could get to heaven by murdering. 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:26.799 Galatians chapter 1. 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.320 Galatians chapter 1. 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:43.039 And verse number 6 says, I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel, which is not another. 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:48.080 But there be some that troubled you and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 00:16:48.320 --> 00:17:06.000 Now far be it from me to call anyone a pervert, but the Holy Spirit of God warns you in the book of Galatians that people would come after Jesus Christ, people would come and pervert the gospel. 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:15.119 The Bible says in verse number eight of Galatians chapter one, but the we or an angel from heaven. 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:17.440 Did you get that? 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:34.880 But the we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:45.279 As we said before, so say I now again if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed. 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:49.279 Now you've got to make a choice. 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:51.200 I can't make that choice for you. 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:57.680 You can believe that Jesus Christ spoke the truth. 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:06.400 You can believe that Jesus Christ is not for murder, killing, death, blood, shed, and violence, but he's for love, peace, joy, life, liberty. 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:09.039 You can believe that. 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:28.880 Or you can believe that an angel showed up and supplanted the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and ordained that the way to heaven was to murder everybody that didn't think Muhammad was entitled to their silver, their gold, and their women. 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:33.039 Take you pick. 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:35.119 Choice is yours. 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:56.880 In the seventh year of Muhammad's reign as sovereign of Medina, he set out with an expedition of 1400 men to wage war against the wealthy Jews who had gathered in the fortified city of Khaibar, K-H-A-I-B-A-R, which is about five days' march northeast of Medina. 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:09.200 Here he directed the attacks in person, and against the most stubborn resistance, the battle raged, day after day after day. 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:15.039 Finally, the siege was broken, and the city fell. 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.400 What did Muhammad and his followers do? 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:29.440 Why, they looted, they plundered, they took all the valuables of the city, but they found much less gold than they had expected. 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:44.640 And as a result they captured Kanina, K-E-N-A-N-A, who was the prince of the place, and they tortured him in unspeakable ways until he finally died. 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:53.759 They were hoping that through torture they would get him to disclose the hiding place of his gold, but it was quite obvious he didn't have any. 00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:56.240 And so he died. 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:06.400 And I suppose the men that tortured him left town believing that they would have eternal life with black-eyed maidens for their dirty deeds. 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.119 Muhammad returned to Medina where he planned and carried out a pilgrimage to Mecca. 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:25.680 Finding on his return that one of his envoys to Syria had been treacherously slain, he determined on vengeance and began the organization of a considerable force which he would use to attack the Syrians. 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:33.279 Before this could be completely organized, however, he fell sick, and his death followed in a few days. 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:48.559 His death left the direction of his armies in the hands of his trusted and faithful general Abu Bekr, who carried out the exposition, or expedition, I'm sorry, most successfully. 00:20:48.880 --> 00:21:05.759 Abu Bakr continued the conquests of Islam, bringing death and destruction, rape and plunder throughout Palestine, Persia, and Egypt, in a succession of bloody and hard-fought battles that lasted over thirty years. 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:18.880 Upon the passing of Abu Bakr, the rule of that uh the rule that unbelievers must die by the sword was modified, and they were allowed, if they preferred, to pay tribute instead. 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:30.559 So you could become a dead man, or you could uh pay a right to live tax to the followers of Muhammad. 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:59.359 It was not until the fourth uh caliphate, that's that's the uh title given to the uh ruling dictator of the Muslim religion, uh the fourth caliphate, that of uh Muiwiyyah, I'm sure I didn't pronounce that right, M U A W I A of Damascus, that further conquests were pushed eastward, and uh people were murdered and killed in Muhammad's name. 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.680 In India and Turkestan and Samarkand. 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:18.559 Here too they captured the rest of North Africa and the southwestern half of Spain, being turned back finally in the battles that we mention, the bloody battles of Tours, in the south of France. 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:27.759 Under this ruler, however, the office of the caliph lost its elective character and became almost purely secular. 00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:40.640 He attempted to form a dynasty, and for ninety years the rule descended from father to son until some stronger ruler wrested the succession from him and founded a new dynasty. 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:48.400 One other caliph, uh perhaps the greatest of Muhammad's successors, needs to be mentioned. 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:59.599 Haroon al-Rashid, a fanciful account of whom the Arabian Knights is familiar, came to power. 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.160 His capital was Baghdad. 00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:07.440 About him gathered the flower of the military and intellectual life of his time. 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:13.680 His court was polished, luxurious, and unlimitedly wealthy. 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:28.319 He enjoyed the tremendous bounty that was taken from those murdered by those followers of Muhammad who had come before him. 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:45.279 After his death, the splendid intellectual life was destroyed and dispersed during the wars with the Turks, while the main forces of Islam were busy fighting the battles with the Roman Catholic Church that came to be known as the Crusades. 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:58.720 Now we gotta take note of the eight crusades waged by Roman Catholics, not by Christians, who for centuries waged war to recover the sepulchre of Christ from the Muslims. 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:12.240 It's an amazing thing that men will murder and slaughter and kill in order to get the tomb of Jesus, and they won't bow their knees and repent of their sins and by faith receive Jesus Himself. 00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.119 What do I want with the empty tomb? 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.240 I've got the one who walked out of it. 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:19.759 Hallelujah. 00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:29.519 Well, the crusade of 1095 ended by Jerusalem being taken by assault, and Godfrey of Bouillon was made king in 1099. 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:40.480 Second crusade was preached by Saint Bernard in 1146, he wasn't a saint, headed by Emperor Conrad II and Louis VII of France. 00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:44.079 The Crusaders were beaten, and Jerusalem was taken by the Saracens. 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:45.519 That's 1187. 00:24:46.240 --> 00:25:02.079 The Barbaroso Crusade lasted from 1189 to 1192 and accomplished nothing but a lot of dead people and another reason for college educated people who don't know the difference between Christians and Roman Catholics to reject Christianity. 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:08.000 The Fourth Crusade was led by Emperor Henry VI, 1202 to 1204. 00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.039 The crusade led by Innocent the Third. 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:13.119 How's that for a name? 00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:15.599 1218 to 1221. 00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:22.559 The Barbarossa Sixth Crusade obtained possession of Jerusalem in 1229. 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:25.759 The Crusade by Louis XIX, 1248. 00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:33.680 He was defeated and taken prisoner at Mansura, April 5, 1250, released by ransom, and there was a truce for ten years. 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:39.039 And then the last crusade was led by Louis IX in 1270. 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:54.960 The Roman Catholics were driven out of Syria in 1291, and not until the close of World War I did Europeans regain control over the Holy Sepulchre, as it was called by pagans. 00:25:55.279 --> 00:26:10.640 When Egypt was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1517 AD, the last of the Abbasid line sold the office of caliph to the Sultan of Turkey, who since that time was regarded as the successor to the prophet. 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:17.359 And so we have these important dates in the progress of the Mohammedan religion. 00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:23.839 Mohammedan conquest checked in France by Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours in 732 afterward. 00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:31.200 A Mohammedan sect called Saracens conquered Arabia, North Africa, and a part of Asia in the seventh century. 00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:39.759 In the eighth century they invaded Europe, conquering Spain, where they founded the Caliphate of Cordova, which lasted until 1031. 00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:50.720 The Caliphate of Cordova was broken up into smaller governments, the last of which the Kingdom of Grenada endured until its subjugation by Ferdinand in 1492. 00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.240 The Moorish Mohammedans were finally expelled from Spain in 1609. 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:32.079 So today we have the modern Mohammedan world with its pilgrimages to Mecca, the holy city, and millions of followers, and Americans who have mashed potatoes for brains, who know nothing about the Muslim religion except what they get on the nightly propaganda broadcast, which they call the news, and they continue to believe this propaganda put out by Imams in America, that Islam is a religion of peace. 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:35.759 Oh yeah. 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:52.880 Islam's a religion of peace, and Santa Claus is real, and the Easter bunnies coming, and the tooth fairy left a quarter under your pillow, and don't forget, the cow jumped over the moon. 00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.279 I'm Brother James. 00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:57.599 This is the Preaching of the Cross Radio Broadcast.
