Episode 69, Thought Crimes

In this episode, Brother Byron reflects on a powerful midweek service where he preached from Romans 1:8, focusing on the true purpose of the church and the marks of a person of faith. Then he dives into the growing global issue of "thought crimes"—where individuals are being persecuted simply for what they believe. From North Korea's Anti-Reactionary Thought Laws to the shocking arrest of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce in the UK for silently praying, we are witnessing an alarming shift toward government control over even private thoughts. Brother Byron discusses how Orwell's vision in 1984 is becoming reality, highlighting concerns over totalitarianism, surveillance, media manipulation, and the suppression of Christian beliefs. He warns that while we still have religious freedom in the U.S., history and current events show how quickly that can change. Scripture warns of perilous times ahead—are we prepared? Tune in for this urgent discussion.
