*The Hour of Truth is a Syndicated Religious Program that is an outreach ministry of the Presbyterian Church in Nationstates. The PCNS (Presbyterian Church in Nationstates) subscribes to the Westminster Confession of Faith and stands for the Orthodox Truths of the Christian faith in the face of modernism in and outside the body of Christ. Each week, the program will feature a live sermon from the world famous pulpit of the New Geneva Presbyterian Church (formerly the Imperial Cathedral) from the Head Pastor and Moderator of the PCNS, Dr. Peter Graves, as well as short segments addressing the current issues of the day, on NS and off, and a guest speaker. Without further adieu, the first program will begin.*

The giant steeple of the church is infact a skyscraper of sorts that contains the offices of the many ministries and programs of the PCNS*
*Announcer* "Welcome to the Hour of Truth, sharing the truth like the trumpet sounds, that the walls of lies come crumbing down. Your host is Dr. Peter Graves, the Head Pastor of New Geneva Presbyterian Church and the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Nationstates. Come join us as we light the torch of truth that all the world may be made to see."
The 1025 rank organ (the second largest in the world) sounds powerfully the opening chords of the processional hymn.
"For all the Saints, who from their labours rest,
Who thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy name O Jesus, be forever blessed,
Alleluia, alleluia!"
The 200 voice chancel Choir began processing down the cavernous sanctuary. The size of 3 football stadiums, it sat nearly 50,000 at full capacity. This day, roughly 25,000 were in attendance. The chancel was decorated with geometrically patterned stain glass windows that towered stories above the parishoners. Huge columns of marble and coral ascended skyward to support the dome of the sanctuary.
"Thou wast their rock, their fortress and their might,
Thou their captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear their one true light:
Alleluia, Alleluia!"
As the choir took their place high on the chancel beneath the front facade of the giant organ, the ministering pastors filed into their places in the pulpits.
The organ then majestically modulated the key blaring the trumpets in the front and on the sides of the church before introducing the tune in the largest pipes of the organ, shaking the ribcages of all present.
"From Earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia, Alleluia!"
As the last notes ascended into the air, Dr. Graves began to pray.
"Oh Lord, most gracious, we thankyou for bringing us together today on this, your most Holy Day. We ask you forgiveness for our transgressions both as citizens of heaven, as a church, and we ask forgiveness for our nations. Lord we further ask that you would bless the Television outreach of the newly constituted Presbyterian Church in Nation States. May we advance your truth in the face of Hell's lies wherever this program is seen and your word is heard. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost...Amen."

Today, on the Hour of Truth, former vice Protector of New Geneva, Marechal Alexandre Brune will address today's world leaders about how God wants our governments to rule, and later Dr. Anthony DiRiesta a leading Ob/Gyn will speak about the horrors of legalized abortion. But first, Dr. Graves' message.

"Our Old Testament reading today comes from Isaiah, Chapter 1, Verses 21-27. Listen...this is the word of the very living God."
How is the faithful city becme an harlot! It was full of judgement; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: everyone loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come to them. Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, the might One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies: and I will turn my hand upon thee and purely purge away thy dross and take away all thy tin.
Dr. Graves paused a moment before speaking thoughtfully. "One thing I wish to point out to those present today, and to those watching through television, is that the following sermon is directed principly to the government under which many of the current Churches of this denomination operate, and the nations for which this denomination was once named. However this equally applies to every government that reigns today, almost without exception.
God has passed judgement upon us. He has taken away our possessions, our power. He has reduced us to low abasement. The Greater Prussian Empire, once one of the mightiest governments in the world has collapsed. The Empire is dead. I don't care what empty puppet shows they put on in Derscon from time to time...Greater Prussia is dead. It died when we ceased to pursue God's vision of government. It died when we let politics and power go before the great Commission. For the first part of its existance, Greater Prussia probably did more to advance the protestant Church than any government. It was known worldwide as the heart of the Protestant religion. Now it is known as the heart of nothing, because its heart is gone. God ripped it out! And he is calling us to repent. To restore the original systems that we once had in place. He is calling us to pick up our cross and follow after him.
Too many are concerned with following after money, after power, even following after the Emperor, and no one remains in our leadership that is in the least bit concerned about God's commands and judgements on our nation.
Do not judge me as unpatriotic, before change can take place, there must be a recognition that it is necessary. And if the people of the Empire havent seen it by now they are blind! We have nothing! The membership is gone, the wealth is gone, the possessions are gone! The glory, our Monarchy...all gone! I am loyal to my government, but my loyalty to God is greater than all these things. And I call on governments around the world look very closely at their actions. If you should, when you walk out of this building or away from your television set, see Christ coming down in all of his glory...what would you do. For many in government...they would run and hide. Because they know FULL WELL that the works of their hands are not after the will of God.
For those governments that wish to change, but do not know how. The PCNS has a ready and capable team of formal government officials who served for years in various posts in various national and international governing organizations who can serve as advisors and help you to reclaim your government and your people for Christ. Today, I sent a letter to the head of what remains of Greater Prussia offering the denomination's assistance to him and all remaining members in turning this country back on track just as I offer this assistance to all countries, the world over who seek it. Perhaps in our time...we can reclaim this world for Jesus Christ.
