Thanks again to the redoubtable Wayne Edwards for another stirring sermon from the Heritage Baptist Church, Perry, Georgia, USA. The service begins at approximately 20 minutes by clicking the link above. The Watchmen’s Report follows after this preamble and the link to the full report is below.
For some insoluble technical reason, I cannot now include pictures on this post – apologies! However the video of the service, and the rest of the layout, is working well.
Gibber! Gibber

PASTOR WAYNE EDWARDS WRITES:
August 15, 2025
Dear Heritage Family and Friends,
Our eternal salvation is the gift of God, not of works, lest we would boast about them. All that was required for the Hebrews to be spared from death was to smear the blood of an innocent lamb upon the top and sides of their doors, and all that is required for a sinner to be spared the wages of sin is to be cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.
However, our sanctification requires a partnership – our willingness to be separated from the evil world and unto a holy God, and God’s power to deliver us from those enemies that want to rob us of the abundant life Jesus died to give to us. That’s the picture of the Children of Israel camped at the Jordan River. They had either seen or heard of God’s power to deliver their forefathers from Egypt, through the Red Sea, and to provide for them during their 40 years in the wilderness. Now it was their turn to trust the Lord with all their heart, and lean not upon their understanding.
Imagine the scene: the Lord chose the time of year when the river was at its highest, overflowing its banks. He promised to go ahead of them and then told them to step in and watch Him work. But He didn’t stop the river until the priests took the first steps into the raging waters. Crossing the Jordan River is not just a historical event, it’s a powerful metaphor for our full surrender to the Lord. Let this inspire and motivate us to trust in His power.
Faith is easy! Obedience is a bit harder! A complete surrender unto the Lordship of Christ requires us to die to ourselves, i.e., relinquish control of our lives, take up our cross daily, and follow Jesus. Sadly, too many Christians are too comfortable on this side of the Jordan River, and while they may go to heaven when they die, they forfeit the true meaning and purpose of this life, and the blessed assurance of their eternal life in heaven.
The central theme of our current sermon series is “Victorious Christian Living: A Study in the Book of Joshua.” The title of this sermon is: “Faith, Obedience, and the Assurance of God’s Presence.”

THE WATCHMEN’S REPORT
AUGUST 16, 2025
My Fellow Watchmen,
In Ephesians 6:10-13, the Apostle Paul wrote: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armuor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [b]wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
However, according to Gary Wayne’s book, “The Genesis 6 Conspiracy,” the evidence of the existence of modern-day descendants of the Nephilim is obvious. According to Wayne, these bloodlines are central to Satan’s scheme to install the anti-Christ at the End of Days, a plan initiated after Lucifer’s expulsion from heaven. To sustain this plan, Satan is said to have enlisted secret societies such as the Freemasons, the Templars, and the Rosicrucians. These societies play a crucial role in promoting a theology and history that contradicts the Biblical narrative, thereby furthering Satan’s plan.
According to Gary Kah, the Trilateral Commission is not just a local entity, but a global force. It believes in a global government, an international monetary system, and a global tax policy. These beliefs, if implemented, will have a profound impact on the world. We must understand that these forces are at work on all national governments, at all levels of the world, including the United Nations, one of the most successful globalist offshoots. The future of Western nations and the world at large is at stake, as they may be enslaved to support the have-not nations of the world.
