A Christmas message based on the account of author Henry Williamson of the Christmas Truce on the Ypres salient in 1914. That account, published in the London Daily Express in 1937, reminds us that even during that deadly and bitter conflict, we are all God's children. Pray that we remember that fact in the midst of our modern day divisions.
This is a remixed and remastered version of episode 201 released on Christmas Day 2019.
O almighty God, who has knit together Your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of Your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord, grant us grace so to follow Your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living that we may come to those unspeakable joys that you have prepared for those who unfeignedly love You; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

Conservative and pro-gun voices were quick to jump on actor Alec Baldwin's claim that he did not pull the trigger of the gun which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. In today's episode, Lloyd dissects the key points in Baldwin's interview with ABC News, and shows why the critics are wrong, and why Baldwin is partly to blame, despite his efforts to point fingers elsewhere.
Stir up our hearts, O Lord, to make ready the way of Your only-begotten Son that by His coming we may be given to serve You with cleansed minds; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

On November 3, 2021, the Supreme Court heard arguments in New York Rifle & Pistol Association vs. Bruen -- a case that could make "shall issue" the law of the land around the nation. In this episode, Lloyd and Pastor Bennett review a hysterical amicus brief, filed by a group of Leftist religious organizations, supporting New York's "may issue" concealed carry permit law.
An even more in-depth analysis of the brief is available exclusively for Reformation Gun Club members. Click here and come join us for as little as $12/year.

"An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," right? How should we, as Christians, view the ideas of vigilantism and revenge; even as our human nature desires to see bad guys get what's coming to them? Lloyd and Pastor Bennett respond to the case of the father in Spokane, Washington, who saved his daughter from sex slavery and then hunted down and murdered the boy he claims was responsible for selling her. Let the jimmies rustle!

Today we are talking about a rather touchy subject that has many tongues wagging this week: abortion. Why do we mention it so much? And why does being pro-gun mean being Pro-Life?
Keep, we implore You, O Lord, Your Church with Your perpetual mercy; and because the frailty of mankind without You cannot but fall, keep us ever by Your help from all things hurtful and lead us to all things profitable to our salvation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

We've made a lot of fun of "Florida Man" in previous episodes, but the truth is that "Florida Man" doesn't hold a candle to "New York Man" when it comes to crime. While "Florida Man's" exploits are bizarre and often hilarious, New York Man tends toward senseless violence. Today we are playing "Crime and the Ten Commandments," looking at some recent crime stories to see how Commandments apply, and what might the criminals or victims have done differently.
We discuss two more stories in an additional episode exclusively for Reformation Gun Club members. Join us today and check out all the exclusive content!
Almighty and merciful God, whose gift it is that Your faithful possess all things pertaining to faith and life, we implore You that we may so faithfully cling to Your promises in this life that we fail not finally to attain to Your heavenly glory; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

With the Super Double Bad Delta Variant spreading around the country, it's time to look back at what (if anything) we have learned over the last 15 months. Did government make things worse or better in 2020? Are we headed for a repeat? Lloyd and Pastor Bennett are finally back together after Pastor Bennett's vacation to discuss.
