Published | Video Starts at 18:26

We have founding fathers in this nation that... knew it well enough to know that they were going to write a constitution that made sure that you could follow Romans 13, not have to worry about a government official shutting down the greatest hope of the world, the local church. And so I need you to understand that that constitution did not say that the greatest authority in the land was the president. It did not say that it's Congress. (18:26–18:49)

CLAIM
