 AM RADIO, SAN DIEGO

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! This is Ted Harper for the Buck Stratton Radio Ministries welcoming everyone to another of our daily messages from Pastor Buck Stratton. We pray that Pastor Stratton's message to you tonight will help you to keep your hearts firmly in the Lord. Please also remember that after tonight's sermon we will be telling you about a special offer that will certainly be a blessing to you. But, first, I'll introduce Pastor Stratton for his nightly message. Pastor Stratton?"

"This here is Buck Stratton coming to you tonight via the Buck Stratton Radio Ministry Network. Now, see, that's new, the network part of that, but with over six hundred stations beamin' out the light and truth to Free Christian America, we just figured it was about time to call ourselves a network! You all, and may I say ever blessed one of you, Praise the Lord, have made this ministry what it is. You have made it a shinin' light in times of darkness! A mighty fortress of God's truth on earth!

Oh, Lord I wish I could tell ya' that these here was peaceful times, but they ain't! Nosirree! Now that the fightin' done stopped, we could fool ourselves into thinkin' that the great struggle was over. Well, it ain't! Don't let nobody trick ya' into thinkin' that! Nosirree! See that right here's what the sermon's about tonight. Gettin' fooled by the damned anti-Christ into thinkin' that it's okay to let down your guard a little 'n relax. I'm sad to tell you that there's folks right in this congregation of the righteous what's gettin' fooled right now! Yessirree! Right now!

And when I send my radio ministry greetin's out to our Brothers and Sisters in Free Christian America, boy, that's just what I 'm sayin! Millions of our fellow 'Americans done been enslaved by this monster already! Them's folks supposed to go to heaven with us! But not anymore, thank you Mr. Demon! Now you done tricked 'em so's they goin' to burn in hell for eternity! And this here trickin' goin' on by this ole boy ain't the all at once kind! Nosirree! This here's the kind what creeps up on a Christian a little bit here and a little bit there 'till BOOM! And that there Christian is in hell. Just like that!

Beloved, those who believe in ol' Buck and in this ministry, those who hold close and true to their Lord and Master, them are the ones who're free! And why are they free? Are they free of sin? No, beloved, not even this ministry can make one single Christian free of sin. No, they're free on account of they're tryin' to be free of sin!

Now you all pay close attention, 'cause this here part gets a little complicated. Anybody's got half a wit knows sometimes it's hard to tell a 'coon from a 'possum on a cloudy day. Just like that, folks are looking at this anti-Christ and sometimes he's a'lookin' like a 'coon. Then when they're not careful, they look at him again and he's lookin' like a 'possum!

What in the world is ole Buck talkin' about, you ask? Well, I'll tell ya. See, let's say some guy knows what this ministry has said about the demon in Washington. Say this guy even knows that what's said on this here radio station is the TRUTH! That guy'll know what's happenin' in Washington is a SIN and that the guy who's claiming to be Jesus is a SINNER. That's what Buck Stratton Ministries is all about! It's all about deliverin' to you, beloved, the TRUTH about SIN and the anti-Christ!

Now see, so far this guy ain't sinned. But now WHOA! This ole boy slips a little bit -- WHOA folks! That there anti-Christ is startin' to look like a 'possum! See right here, that's a SIN! After this guy done heard the truth from Buck Stratton Ministries he's thinkin' 'coon. But let him get a little sloppy on his Christian path, and bigger 'n cow pies at high noon, he's startin' to think 'possum! Now this ole boy's gettin' hisself into trouble! Ain't the kind no lawyer's goin' get ya out of neither! Lots of them lawyers work for the anti-Christ anyways.

See it ain't no sin to judge this sinner, this anti-Christ. That is, it ain't no sin to judge him just so long as you judge him a SINNER! But he'll trick you! That right there's why we call him the DECEIVER! Pretty soon you gonna start thinkin' 'Well, maybe he ain't really the anti-Christ'. I'm here to tell you, once you get to thinkin' like this here, you can already feel the cold stink of the devil hisself a'breathin' down your neck!

Pretty soon this old boy starts to thinkin' 'Well, maybe he ain't so bad after all.' Now, beloved, when a guy gets to thinkin' this a'way, you'd better grab your scriptural knickers, 'cause you already just about got one foot in the LAKE OF FIRE! IT'S A SIN TO THINK THIS DEMON AIN'T THE ANTI-CHRIST! IT'S A SIN TO THINK THIS LIAR FROM HELL AIN'T REALLY THAT BAD!

It gets worse 'n this, beloved. See now, that's how them demons are. They ain't gonna quit 'till you send 'em back to HELL! Now, please remember that we got this guy who's sliding away from the truth he already heard on this radio ministry. Next thing you know, he's watchin' the anti-Christ, who is already a walking, talkin' sin all by himself, that's right, our guy is watchin' the anti-Christ and the anti-Christ commits a sin! Our boy is seeing the 'possum now, and when the old anti-Christ commits this sin, this ole' boy says to himself, 'Well, that's not REALLY a sin.' or he says to himself 'That might be a sin, but it JUST AIN'T THAT BAD.'

Now this ole' boy's in real trouble. See he already done sinned the first time when he started thinkin' that the ole' anti-Christ wasn't that bad. Then he done gone on and sinned a second time when he was already lookin' at sin, watched sin commit another sin and said that sin just ain't that bad!

See, beloved, this here is what the Bible calls 'double decker' sin. If you are ever guilty of 'double decker' sin you're goin' go STRAIGHT DOWN! The Holy Scriptures say that somewhere! You ain't gonna pass Go and you ain't gonna collect no two hundred dollars. YOU GONNA BURN, SINNER! The Bible says there's a special place that's worse than the rest, and that special place is just for them 'double decker' sinners!

Now see right here, my point is, don't let this old 'coon start to lookin' like no 'possum! We need to judge and hate this evil man! God's countin' on us not to let up! He already done give us the wits to tell 'possums from coons! Now what could be easier to understand than that?

Now, beloved, you're probably thinkin' to yourselves right now, 'What in the world can I do about any of this?' Well, Buck Stratton Ministries is real pleased to announce that there IS something you can do about it! This here is excitin' news, brothers and sisters! We gonna go right to the nest of this evil. We gonna go right to Washington D.C. and stare down this anti-Christ! Yessiree!

That's right Brothers and Sisters, we makin' our own Crusade to free the Holy Land! If you're confused, the Holy Land I'm talkin' about's America! All across the country, buses gonna be leavin' for Washington, buses filled with right thinkin' members of the Buck Stratton Congregation! Why, with all the millions of us that listen to this network there ain't gonna be no buses left! And just listen to ole' Buck on this, brothers and sisters, there's a LOT of buses out there! We're gonna' fill all of them buses with righteousness and truth, then we'll see how much punch that old demon's got!

We goin' be singing hymns and readin' the good book as we tick off them miles! This right here's a special thing for your Old Pastor Buck on account of once we're all in D.C. I'm goin' to make a special announcement. This right here's a real important thing for the Ministry and for the country, and this here bus trip's a way for you all to get in on it. It's goin' to be a sacred pilgrimage so's maybe we can do somethin' about that Demon!

Ted Harper's goin' to fill in the details of our Crusade Against the Anti-Christ. As for me, this here is Buck Stratton wishin' all of you a good night! Until next time, God Bless!"
