Montana Update

After several weeks of moving and settling in, many
readers have been writing me asking for an update on our
move to the Flathead Valley of Montana. First, let me
say, we love it here! The scenery is spectacular,
especially now that winter has arrived. What the snow
does to the landscape in this mountainous region is
breathtaking! Driving through the mountains is like
driving through Narnia. I have never seen such beauty.

As for the climate, it is not near as cold as people
made it out to be. Coming from a warm weather State like
Florida, one must learn how to dress in a cold weather
State like Montana, of course. We have quickly learned
to layer our clothing–and wear the right type of
clothing. That is for sure. But in all honesty, I`ve
felt colder in the Southeast than I often do here.
Obviously, the cold weather lasts longer here, but the
dry climate moderates the cold temperatures to a great
degree. What I`m saying is, the cold weather of Western
Montana is no big deal!

But the greater treasure of the Treasure State is its
people. We love the people here in the Flathead Valley!
As I have said before, it is my studied opinion that
there are perhaps more freedom-loving people (taken on
the whole) in this area than in any area of the country.
Our living among the people of the Flathead only
confirms my estimation. And even better is the fact that
more and more patriots are moving to this area all the
time.

When we first arrived back at the end of October, I
discovered a man from Central Florida who, after reading
my


initial column
on our move to Montana,


packed up and moved here
even before we did. In fact, he was already here waiting
on us when we arrived. I had never laid eyes on this man
before meeting him here in Kalispell. I`ve met scores of
people who have recently moved here from all over
America. And if my email correspondence is any indicator
of future events, many more are on the way. In fact,
we`ve had visitors coming up to
"spy out the land" every week since we`ve been here. And several
families have already relocated to the Valley.

I really believe God is doing something in the Flathead
Valley of Montana!

I have said it time and again, if there is any hope for
freedom in this country, it is going to be for
individual, freedom-loving states to take a strong and
determined stand against the ever-growing encroachments
of the national leviathan that is Washington, D.C. What



Governor Jan Brewer
did in Arizona is just the beginning. States will either
defend the principles of federalism and independence or
freedom will soon be forever lost to our posterity. And
as I`ve also said before, it is my opinion that Montana
might just be the tip of the spear in America`s future
freedom fight.

Just look at what the feds are doing at our nation`s
airports. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is
turning air travel into a journey into Nazi Germany. And
now they are thinking about expanding this insanity to
the country`s bus and train stations? Then just this
week, we were told that DHS is inundating hundreds of



Walmart stores
with Nazi-style
turn-your-fellow-citizens-over-to-the-authorities
television messages to be broadcast at checkout lanes.
Even a blind man should be able to see the handwriting
on the wall!

Let me ask you a question, do you believe your State
will be willing to stand up for the principles of
freedom and independence when the
"stuff" hits
the fan? Or will it sheepishly and complacently accept
this growing Orwellian society that Washington, D.C., is
serving up? I`ll tell you this for sure: if you believe
you will ever need to move in order to maintain liberty
for your children and grandchildren, YOU BETTER MOVE
NOW, because it won`t be long and you won`t be able to
move. "They"
won`t let you! Let me ask it another way: when the stuff
hits the fan, do you want to be where you are, or
someplace else?

These are serious and even desperate days requiring
serious and desperate action! The
everything-will-be-as-its-always-been mantra is ringing
more and more hollow every day. In their hearts, people
all over America know something very serious is on the
horizon. Jobs, homes, security, comfort, etc., will mean
absolutely nothing when the curtain falls.

I`m not saying this will be easy. Since we have moved,
people have attacked us (my family and me) in the most
vicious ways possible. Connie and I never dreamed that
people we thought were our friends would be saying the
things they are saying about us. We are beginning to
understand what the Scripture meant when it said that
Satan is the great
"accuser."
But we should not be surprised. After all, America`s
founders went through all this and a whole lot more. So
don`t be surprised when your
"friends"
(and even family members) do the same thing to you.

Remember, Patrick Henry and the boys were called
everything from traitor to thief to murderer. This is
why Benjamin Franklin said,
"We must all hang
together, or most assuredly we will all hang
separately." So tell me, will the people where you
live "hang
together"? Are there freedom loving people ANYWHERE
that will hang together? We believe that there might be
more such people in the Flathead Valley of Montana than
perhaps anywhere else. That`s one reason we are here.

As soon as we can locate a suitable facility, we will
publicly launch our new ministry: LIBERTY FELLOWSHIP. We
have not yet found the right building, but we hope to do
so soon. I`ve had scores of local Montanans tell me they
will be joining us at LIBERTY FELLOWSHIP as soon as we
announce the meeting location. And, of course, we hope
to also resume livestreaming my Sunday messages as
quickly as possible. If you want to help us launch this
new outreach, checks may be written to:

Liberty Fellowship
P.O. Box 10
Kila, MT 59920

Note: contributions are NOT tax-deductible. Liberty
Fellowship will not be part of the government-sponsored
"non-profit"
corporation status. People who support us will do so
because they believe in our message and are committed to
Christ and freedom, not because they are looking to
receive something back from Uncle Sam.

So, in a nutshell, we are in Montana and glad to be
here. And we are praying that many more patriots
(especially Christian patriots) will join us. We covet
your prayers. As exhilarating as the prospect for the
future appears to be, the present attacks against us are
often overwhelming.

I recall preaching a message at Crossroad Baptist Church
in Pensacola, Florida, shortly before we left entitled
"If I Perish, I
Perish," based on the


story of Queen Esther.
Sometimes it looks as if I will perish. But if God has a
work for us to do here in Montana, He will vindicate and
deliver us from these attacks, and prove Himself to be
our defense and shield. And if not, may His will be
done. This isn`t about Chuck Baldwin. It never was. It`s
about the Lord and His principles, and bequeathing
liberty to our children and grandchildren. And it`s
about helping the freedom-minded patriots of Montana
reclaim the constitutional jurisdiction and sovereignty
of their State. So, here we are: at the top of the Rocky
Mountains and at the tip of freedom`s spear.

P.S. We are still shipping FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. These are
50 of the great historical documents of America–in one
volume, under one title. These are available nowhere
else that we know of. Our supply will only last a few
more days. Many are ordering multiple copies as
patriotic Christmas gifts. If you want a copy, you must
order now! For more information, or to order, go

Dr. Chuck Baldwin is the
pastor of Crossroad Baptist Church in Pensacola,
Florida. He hosts a
