At the Crossroads: Liberty or Tyranny

I was blessed to be able to be apart of organizing, as well as, attend the 31st Rocky Mountain Biblical Worldview Conference last weekend. I left encouraged in my faith, strengthened in my walk with Christ, challenged in my life, and having learned so much. At this conference, Nationally renowned authors, speakers, and leaders Kevin Swanson and Israel Wayne joined local teaching elder, author and speaker David Barrett to spend all weekend addressing many Christians along the theme: “At the Crossroads: Liberty or Tyranny”.

Although, I cannot even try to begin to express all that was taught, I would like to share with you all my favorite quotes and tidbits from the sessions I was able to attend. Hopefully they will stimulate thought and encourage you as they have done to me!


We can't out pop the pop culture -Israel Wayne

When immorality increases in a country, so does tyranny -Kevin Swanson

Please read the Bible...it's really good -Kevin Swanson

The distinct thing about the Christian religion is that God does not stand and look at us from the outside, but rather comes alongside us -Israel Wayne

Kevin Swanson quoted Francis Shaeffer who said, Relativism is like having both feet planted in mid-air

The teachings of Jesus should make you think He is either the most insane person ever or He is the Son of God -Israel Wayne

We MUST understand, proclaim, and practice the Lordship of Christ -David Barrett

That is a nice bumper sticker, the only problem is that it isn't true -Israel Wayne

Matt. 28:18- Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me”

If you don't believe it is possible to live a holy life, then you won't -Israel Wayne

The last enemy to be destroyed is death, not the devil -David Barrett

History today is presented by secular humanists and you can't determine between the good guys and the bad guys -Kevin Swanson

A hell hole became the most peaceful, safest place on earth because of ONE man, William the Silent, in just 30 years -Kevin Swanson

We are not allowed to worship God in any way we want to -Israel Wayne

The next President of the United States will have almost no impact on the fight for Liberty           -Kevin Swanson

Kevin Swanson, referencing the Benjamin Franklin quote, said We will hang together or we will hang separately

Stop being content with going to Church meetings together, not expecting the manifest presence of God -Israel Wayne

94% of what Christians disagree on is stupid -Kevin Swanson

Spirit-filled, Spiritual worship must be sincere -Kevin Swanson

Liberty is the freedom to do what is right -David Barrett is quoting John Eidsmoe when asked to define Liberty.

The church has been transformed by the culture instead of transforming the culture 
-Israel Wayne

First faith, then victory, it always follows -Kevin Swanson

Do not rest until you have given God His rightful place of preeminence in your life
-Israel Wayne


We are at a crossroads right now in history, which road will you choose? Liberty in Christ or Tyranny from men?



But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
II Corinthians 3:15-17 (KJV)

  1. Thanks for sharing those, Justin! :) I was really inspired by them. My favorite is "The distinct thing about the Christian religion is that God does not stand and look at us from the outside, but rather comes alongside us -Israel Wayne" love that! So true, and really easy for me to forget.
