WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.400 Psalm 12, that is Psalm 12 in your Bibles and we'll read through the entire 00:06.400 --> 00:17.280 Psalm. Follow along silently as we read Psalm 12. Psalm 12 the Bible reads, help 00:17.280 --> 00:22.240 Lord for the godly man ceaseth for the faithful fail from among the children of 00:22.240 --> 00:27.880 men. They speak vanity everyone with his neighbor with flattering lips and with 00:27.880 --> 00:32.160 a double heart do they speak. The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips and 00:32.160 --> 00:36.620 the tongue that speaketh proud things. Who have said with our tongue will we 00:36.620 --> 00:41.720 prevail our lips are our own who is Lord over us. For the oppression of the poor 00:41.720 --> 00:46.840 for the sighing of the needy now will I arise sayeth the Lord I will set him in 00:46.840 --> 00:51.760 safety from him that puffeth at him. The words of the Lord are pure words as 00:51.760 --> 00:57.560 silver tried in a furnace of earth purified seven times. Thou shalt keep 00:57.560 --> 01:02.440 them oh Lord thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever. The wicked 01:02.440 --> 01:07.880 walk on every side when the vilest men are exalted. Brother Bill would you pray 01:07.880 --> 01:10.880 for us? 01:10.880 --> 01:24.120 Amen. Well I'm back I wasn't sure I was gonna be doing this but pastor needed us 01:24.120 --> 01:28.240 to step in and you know and my motto is just like if he asks I'm just gonna say 01:28.240 --> 01:32.800 yes you know it's like and I think that it's a blessing I know there is not as 01:32.800 --> 01:36.760 many people usually at the night service but I do think that you know hearing the 01:36.760 --> 01:40.240 word of God preached it shows that you're faithful when you're here but it 01:40.240 --> 01:44.080 also increases your faith so it's a faithfulness thing and then it's an 01:44.080 --> 01:48.000 increase of faith too because faith comes by hearing the word of God and so 01:48.000 --> 01:53.560 we're here to preach the word of God Psalm 12 I'm not gonna read just a 01:53.560 --> 01:57.680 specific verse just because I'm just going through this Psalm for this 01:57.680 --> 02:03.160 sermon but I do want to still thank pastor Thompson we're grateful as all 02:03.160 --> 02:07.080 of you I'm sure grateful too that we have this great church that we can go to 02:07.080 --> 02:11.440 that we can be sent out to preach the gospel we've got salvation today so 02:11.440 --> 02:15.220 that's a blessing you know and if we wouldn't have gathered today and went 02:15.220 --> 02:18.480 out that person wouldn't be on their way to heaven today wouldn't so that's 02:18.480 --> 02:22.560 that's awesome that the angels in heaven are rejoicing when one person even has 02:22.560 --> 02:27.960 gotten saved so we will go through just this I just thought that would be an 02:27.960 --> 02:32.620 easy thing to do kind of you know just going through this short chapter in the 02:32.620 --> 02:36.400 Bible I have had to do that before when I've had to do kind of a sermon on short 02:36.400 --> 02:40.880 notice so that's what we're gonna do but let me just say a quick prayer first 02:40.880 --> 02:44.080 so I'm to Heavenly Father just thank you again Lord for the word of God and just 02:44.080 --> 02:49.000 thank you that you would use us men to preach it Lord I just pray that you fill 02:49.000 --> 02:51.760 me up with your spirit Lord in the congregation as well Lord and that you 02:51.760 --> 02:57.920 bless our church and pastor and miss Sherry in Jesus name amen so we're gonna 02:57.920 --> 03:00.840 go through this verse by verse so this will be in the outside a night it would 03:00.840 --> 03:04.480 be kind of like a little bit of a Bible study and it's a short one too so you 03:04.480 --> 03:07.720 know nothing I'm trying to get you all out of here fast but you know it is hot 03:07.720 --> 03:11.320 out you know and I'm sure if you all went soul winning especially you moms 03:11.320 --> 03:16.640 you probably tired but if if I were to name this I wouldn't have come up with 03:16.640 --> 03:20.200 one but brother Rylan was nice enough to come up with one for me so it's it's 03:20.200 --> 03:24.720 shield of protection and you know the Bible is a shield of protection for us 03:24.720 --> 03:30.080 like it you know we talked a little bit about that this morning and so I do 03:30.080 --> 03:34.000 think that's a pretty good name you know I think he got it from Gemini so the 03:34.280 --> 03:38.280 grok counterpart but let's just start right there at the beginning and I don't 03:38.280 --> 03:42.960 know if in your Bible it starts out where it says to the chief musician upon 03:42.960 --> 03:47.800 shemineth a psalm of David but mine does I know that we don't necessarily always 03:47.800 --> 03:52.080 read that part of it but I do think it's important to note that you know this is 03:52.080 --> 03:57.240 a songbook you know we sing the Psalms which I think is great we sing out to 03:57.240 --> 04:00.880 the Lord every service like that's part of getting filled with the spirit is 04:00.880 --> 04:04.440 that we sing the word of God and it's a great blessing you know I think that 04:04.440 --> 04:08.280 like when people don't sing they're missing out you know I think that it's 04:08.280 --> 04:11.600 just a beautiful thing to hear the word of or not the word of God but there's a 04:11.600 --> 04:15.280 lot of doctrine but just to hear us singing out to the Lord I think it's a 04:15.280 --> 04:21.200 awesome thing and even if it is a joyful noise I always I always get so tickled 04:21.200 --> 04:27.640 when I see is that he is so excited to sing and to you know raise his hand I 04:27.640 --> 04:29.960 mean he's good he's practically breaking his arm over there in the 04:29.960 --> 04:35.600 corner and he can't be he's not really seen but man he is excited to get a song 04:35.600 --> 04:40.720 in and when you know when you hear the kids sing it's just like so awesome it's 04:40.720 --> 04:44.480 just so beautiful you know he's all excited he's like what book are we read 04:44.480 --> 04:48.440 or the blue you know he's just like which one is it you know and I tell on 04:48.440 --> 04:51.800 the last one I'm like it's Psalm it's like we told him what the psalmit was 04:51.800 --> 04:55.400 and he's just like he knows where to go he's going in his psalm book and it's 04:55.400 --> 04:58.760 like and all the kids are like that too you know they're singing along and I 04:58.760 --> 05:04.480 just think that is so awesome it'd be nice like I always I when you hear like 05:04.480 --> 05:08.360 other churches where they have the kids kind of a microphone on wherever the 05:08.360 --> 05:12.440 kids are sitting they must do that I love that because I'm sure if we all 05:12.440 --> 05:16.640 love that and we love hearing kids sing that how much more does God love that 05:16.640 --> 05:21.080 and how much more as his children does he love hearing us sing and I just think 05:21.080 --> 05:24.680 that's it's a great it's a great ministry it's a great thing that we 05:24.680 --> 05:30.080 should be doing you know singing out to God and you know and that's all of all 05:30.080 --> 05:34.960 of it right I mean we it's a shield of protection but that means all of it not 05:34.960 --> 05:39.080 just the good stuff you know or the stuff that's easy on the ears you know I 05:39.080 --> 05:42.880 always think it's pretty funny when like half the time we sing the psalm where 05:42.880 --> 05:47.040 it's like do not I hate them or that hate the or you know hate him with a 05:47.040 --> 05:51.160 perfect hatred like there's always somebody new here you know and it's it's 05:51.240 --> 05:55.800 like it's like God does that on purpose he wants to test are we gonna sing it at 05:55.800 --> 05:59.560 the same way that we sing the good you know the easy on the ears stuff or you 05:59.560 --> 06:03.920 know when Jesus loves me and things like that all those are great to sing too but 06:03.920 --> 06:08.280 like you know you kind of see him and sometimes you can kind of like oh you're 06:08.280 --> 06:11.720 you're overthinking it because you're like man what are these people thinking 06:11.720 --> 06:16.440 when they see the kids like screaming out do not I hate them you know it's like 06:16.440 --> 06:20.360 hey but that's the Word of God you know and and we should love the Word of God 06:20.360 --> 06:24.720 it's a shield of protection for us but you know you got you got to believe all 06:24.720 --> 06:28.360 of it you got to preach all of it in season out of season the Bible says 06:28.360 --> 06:33.960 right and so that's important to note that these Psalms are song books to God 06:33.960 --> 06:38.400 and it's a lot of there's a lot of stuff in them there's a lot of meat in the 06:38.400 --> 06:42.240 Psalms they're just beautiful to read when you're going through tough times 06:42.240 --> 06:47.220 we've talked about that before but it's a it's a just a awesome book of the 06:47.220 --> 06:51.140 Bible that just shows you why David was a man after God's own heart and you know 06:51.140 --> 06:55.700 if you love the Psalms all of them like that then that puts us in that same 06:55.700 --> 06:59.980 position if you love the Word of God if you love to hear it you know and if you 06:59.980 --> 07:04.020 want to sing it out and you want to study it and you want to memorize it you 07:04.020 --> 07:08.820 know we could be men and women after God's heart as well and then so that it 07:08.820 --> 07:14.820 starts out though help Lord for the godly man ceaseth for the faithful fail 07:14.860 --> 07:19.020 from among the children of men and you know that's why I pointed that out too 07:19.020 --> 07:22.820 early is that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God so when 07:22.820 --> 07:26.580 you show up to church it's important and I know you know I feel like maybe I beat 07:26.580 --> 07:30.260 that drum a little too much but you know no one will ever be able to persuade me 07:30.260 --> 07:34.220 otherwise of the importance of church of the importance of coming to church 07:34.220 --> 07:38.860 regardless if you have to you know labor through here and me preach you know it 07:38.860 --> 07:44.180 doesn't it doesn't matter God it's an expectation of God for us you know and 07:44.180 --> 07:49.820 we are stewards we are stewards to God and he is looking for you know what we 07:49.820 --> 07:54.420 do what do do we just hear this stuff and not believe it well to show that you 07:54.420 --> 07:57.940 believe it is based on your actions so there's where your works are important 07:57.940 --> 08:01.260 they're not important for your salvation but they are important that other people 08:01.260 --> 08:05.540 would see that you are a believer they would see that you have a full faith 08:05.540 --> 08:09.580 that you do not have a dead faith but that you have a very alive faith and and 08:09.580 --> 08:13.300 we want to be though that type of Christian turn of 1st Corinthians 08:13.300 --> 08:15.900 chapter 4 08:28.620 --> 08:36.740 1st Corinthians chapter 4 look at verse 1 let a man so account us now I do want 08:36.740 --> 08:40.260 to point out to that the us there is talking about saved Christians of church 08:40.260 --> 08:44.300 okay you know because the chapter before that makes it clear that you know that 08:44.300 --> 08:48.060 chapter 4 is talking about divisions in the church is talking about us being 08:48.060 --> 08:52.900 laborers one with another that we're God's husbandry were his building you 08:52.900 --> 08:57.700 know and and you know we shouldn't be like saying oh I'm of pastor Shelley I'm 08:57.700 --> 09:02.060 a pastor Anderson right I'm of pastor Thompson you know we're all one in 09:02.060 --> 09:05.980 Christ so we're but we're laborers together and that us it's not just 09:05.980 --> 09:10.460 talking about like the Apostles right it's talking about saved people we're 09:10.460 --> 09:14.300 his husbandry we're his building and again that's that just screams to the 09:14.300 --> 09:19.320 importance of church that we're one in Christ the body of Christ right he's 09:19.320 --> 09:24.380 head over the church you know and it's that us is important it's all of us it's 09:24.380 --> 09:31.740 us in this room right and you know it's it's sad too when when people will kind 09:32.340 --> 09:36.540 especially when they start you know screaming out and like either railing 09:36.540 --> 09:40.340 type accusations or things I mean I I heard saw a post recently I don't even 09:40.340 --> 09:44.260 want to mention the name but this this pastor said that there's nobody that's 09:44.260 --> 09:49.500 saved left in the new IFB which what an incredibly wicked and railing type of an 09:49.500 --> 09:53.500 accusation to make right and and it's somebody that's just constantly against 09:53.500 --> 09:57.940 pastor Anderson you know and it's he basically said that like you know the 09:57.940 --> 10:01.900 Holy Spirit doesn't show forth in our ministry I don't see that at all I don't 10:01.900 --> 10:05.300 see that in the people that I go to church with that you know celebrating the 10:05.300 --> 10:09.980 singing of the singing of the Psalms and of the of the hymns and the spiritual 10:09.980 --> 10:13.660 songs of the people that go out and preach the gospel faithfully that they 10:13.660 --> 10:17.020 have come to church on a hot day and go out preaching the gospel on a hot day 10:17.020 --> 10:20.340 you know when there's plenty of other things that you could do you know if 10:20.340 --> 10:24.280 you're not spirit filled and wanting to do the things of God right it's a wicked 10:25.160 --> 10:29.840 we sung Psalm 15 if anyone was looking in their Psalm book says pastor 10:29.840 --> 10:33.440 Anderson there he wrote that Psalm for us he didn't obviously write the lyrics 10:33.440 --> 10:38.120 of it but he wrote the music to it so that we can sing a psalm right now you 10:38.120 --> 10:41.000 know in the English language when it was obviously a little bit different when it 10:41.000 --> 10:45.800 was in the original language so yeah there's a lot of fruit to the ministry 10:45.800 --> 10:49.920 that is in the churches that we go to in our own church and we should celebrate 10:49.920 --> 10:54.000 that too because we are one in Christ we shouldn't be backbiting and against one 10:54.000 --> 10:59.840 another right if you go on to read it says as of so let a man so count us as 10:59.840 --> 11:06.260 of the ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God see we're 11:06.260 --> 11:10.420 stewards the Bible says we're we're meant to be like those Masoretes in a way 11:10.420 --> 11:13.520 where they were very diligent to preserve the Word of God well we should 11:13.520 --> 11:18.560 be diligent to actually you know be the ministers of Christ to preach the gospel 11:18.560 --> 11:23.560 faithfully attend church faithfully do the things that God says that a man is 11:23.560 --> 11:29.160 faithful in doing right where you are diligent to juice just love and want to 11:29.160 --> 11:35.680 do the things of God and then it says in verse 2 moreover and this is pretty 11:35.680 --> 11:41.960 important it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful so it 11:41.960 --> 11:46.000 didn't say it was optional to be faithful it actually says that we are 11:46.000 --> 11:49.640 stewards right we're stewards of the mysteries of God there were stewards of 11:49.640 --> 11:53.480 and the gospel is a mystery to people we know that if you have even just 11:53.480 --> 11:56.880 go out once and preach the gospel or even if you're a silent partner out 11:56.880 --> 12:01.240 there you know that it's just people just do not get it you know they they 12:01.240 --> 12:05.120 it's like seems too easy for them too but yet if it's so easy why doesn't 12:05.120 --> 12:08.720 anyone want to believe it you know they have a real trouble with it but we are 12:08.720 --> 12:13.240 stewards and the Bible says it's required required of us to be found 12:13.240 --> 12:18.160 faithful and and that should be give you pause to anyone that would say otherwise 12:18.160 --> 12:23.080 that it's not required not required to be you know attending church regularly 12:23.080 --> 12:27.960 that's not you know hey being faithful that is an element of being faithful 12:27.960 --> 12:32.800 when you actually do the things of God consistently like that when you do 12:32.800 --> 12:37.760 believe the Bible in what it says right of course you have the talents the the 12:37.760 --> 12:42.480 parable of the talents in Matthew chapter 25 you can turn there if you want 12:42.480 --> 12:46.560 but where the Lord was evaluating how people use their talents because every 12:46.560 --> 12:50.360 one of us in here is gifted in different ways and that's part of what makes the 12:50.360 --> 12:53.880 body of Christ a beautiful thing because you got some that are gonna be 12:53.880 --> 12:57.560 eyes and some that are gonna be the hands and some are gonna be the feet you 12:57.560 --> 13:00.800 know but hey the Bible says that feet are beautiful if we're going out and 13:00.800 --> 13:04.680 preaching the gospel you we have beautiful feet right but we're still 13:04.680 --> 13:11.040 we're just part of that body of Christ and the Bible says in Matthew 25 21 his 13:11.040 --> 13:16.640 Lord said unto him well done thou good and faithful servant thou has been 13:16.640 --> 13:21.520 faithful over a few things I will make thee ruler over many things enter thou 13:21.520 --> 13:26.480 into the joy of thy Lord so the Bible is saying that's what we all say we want to 13:26.480 --> 13:31.040 hear from God what you know none of us wants to be just regretting what we did 13:31.040 --> 13:35.200 with our short little time that we had on this earth we want we do want to be 13:35.200 --> 13:40.040 saying that and it's it's it's easy to forget that but I'm sure that that's 13:40.040 --> 13:43.940 gonna be called to remembrance when we actually are standing before God when 13:43.940 --> 13:47.940 we're standing before a holy God I'm pretty sure that you know we are gonna 13:47.940 --> 13:51.860 probably have a little bit of regret and probably all of us will have that anyone 13:51.860 --> 13:56.060 who cares about the things of God even if even if it's somebody that does a lot 13:56.060 --> 13:59.940 for God I think when you really care for the things of God you're not trying to 13:59.940 --> 14:03.620 pat yourself on the back and you're not doing it to be seen of men you probably 14:03.620 --> 14:07.260 sincerely also think well you know I'm probably still not doing enough I wish I 14:07.260 --> 14:10.860 could do more I think that's just a natural thing for people that love God 14:10.860 --> 14:15.420 to feel like right similar to how the Apostles were like was it was it me you 14:15.420 --> 14:19.180 know they all thought it was them that you know did something to betray Christ 14:19.180 --> 14:23.340 and you know you're they're always looking inwardly instead of look hearing 14:23.340 --> 14:26.340 a message and saying well that you know I know I was sure wish so-and-so were 14:26.340 --> 14:30.340 here or I wish that somebody else heard this message instead of just listening 14:30.340 --> 14:34.300 to the Word of God and just seeing how it applies to you I think that is a 14:34.300 --> 14:38.660 better way to be and that is what a faithful person I believe would be 14:38.660 --> 14:43.020 somebody that's trying to be a steward to the mysteries of God but God's we 14:43.020 --> 14:46.740 want God to say well done now good and faithful servant because whether we like 14:46.740 --> 14:50.540 it or not we're servants so then you can you know determine if you're gonna be a 14:50.540 --> 14:54.180 faithful one or not a good and faithful one or if you're gonna be one that's 14:54.180 --> 14:57.460 just gonna you know be at least in the kingdom of heaven when God gives us that 14:57.460 --> 15:01.580 ability to choose that but you should be wary of anyone that would act like being 15:01.580 --> 15:05.060 faithful is a bad thing or it's an optional thing or it's a thing that God 15:05.060 --> 15:10.460 doesn't really care much about that's that's absurd you know and the Bible 15:10.460 --> 15:14.620 says is every man hath received the gift because God has gifted us all in 15:14.620 --> 15:20.060 different ways even so minister the same one to another as good stewards of the 15:20.060 --> 15:26.740 manifold grace of God because God has just been so graceful to us we should we 15:26.740 --> 15:31.060 should be good stewards and then look at verse 2 of song if you'll be well of 15:31.140 --> 15:35.740 course always be going back to Psalm 12 but look at verse 2 where it says they 15:35.740 --> 15:40.740 speak vanity everyone with his neighbor with flattering lips and with a double 15:40.740 --> 15:46.540 heart do they speak turn to Matthew chapter 12 so the Bible here is 15:46.540 --> 15:50.180 saying with vanity everyone with his neighbor with flattering lips and a 15:50.180 --> 15:54.540 double heart they speak and obviously we know that being a flatterer is a bad 15:54.540 --> 15:57.620 thing when somebody's just telling you you know what they think you want to 15:58.620 --> 16:02.380 and I've noticed too that AI is a lot like that I think a lot of people have 16:02.380 --> 16:06.540 kind of figured that out already you know I saw a lot of posts early on where 16:06.540 --> 16:10.620 people were like oh I got Grok saved you know like because Grok just gives you 16:10.620 --> 16:13.580 the wrong answer on salvation and then you start saying well you're wrong 16:13.580 --> 16:17.260 Grok here's some verses and then Grok changes his mind oh you're right you 16:17.260 --> 16:20.540 know and then you're like haha yeah look at that I just taught AI and just like 16:20.540 --> 16:24.220 you kind of feel you know somebody could get a little puffed up about it but you 16:24.220 --> 16:28.700 know AI is designed to just tell you what you want to hear it's designed to 16:28.700 --> 16:32.740 be flattering you basically right so it's like it's probably just designed to 16:32.740 --> 16:37.060 get information on us but you know it's funny because we all want to use AI I 16:37.060 --> 16:40.700 kind of joke with my wife about this sometime you want to use AI when it 16:40.700 --> 16:44.740 backs up your point right but then guess what like my wife has done this a few 16:44.740 --> 16:48.820 times on me where she's like well this is what I just told me this and so I go 16:48.820 --> 16:53.460 and can get AI to say the exact opposite thing that she just said so that should 16:53.460 --> 16:57.060 tell you right there that you know you got to watch what you're believing on AI 16:57.060 --> 17:00.380 I think brother Bill brought up a good point about there's certain things you 17:00.380 --> 17:04.260 just can't fudge you know so if it can if it can track some historical type data 17:04.260 --> 17:08.700 and things like that but certain things or nuanced things or you know and and 17:08.700 --> 17:12.060 really I don't think that the Bible is nuanced but obviously we know that false 17:12.060 --> 17:16.020 prophets twist the Bible so you know Grok's gonna be no different because 17:16.020 --> 17:20.300 it's pulling from its whatever resources online and we know that few 17:21.300 --> 17:24.540 so the majority of the things that it's gonna pull online are probably gonna be 17:24.540 --> 17:28.820 false right but it does flatter you it makes you feel like oh I'm sorry oh 17:28.820 --> 17:33.220 you're right oh man that was a good point wow and it's just like puffing you 17:33.220 --> 17:36.900 up a little bit right but you know you got to be careful about that you got to 17:36.900 --> 17:39.900 make sure that you really can back things up that's why you know I think 17:39.900 --> 17:44.820 it's really best to just study the Bible with your own Holy Spirit you know and 17:44.820 --> 17:48.540 kind of but but even watch some of the other things you're looking into AI for 17:49.020 --> 17:53.340 you know I think that it's a little bit of a Psyop for us right now but you're 17:53.340 --> 17:56.940 there in Matthew chapter 12 the Bible this is where it says I know it kind of 17:56.940 --> 18:01.340 highlighted in my Bible a tree is known by its fruit which is a true thing there 18:01.340 --> 18:07.340 right look at verse 33 the Bible says either make the tree good and it's fruit 18:07.340 --> 18:12.060 good or else make the tree corrupt and it's fruit corrupt for the tree is known 18:12.060 --> 18:17.500 by his fruit Oh generation of vipers how can he being evil speak good things for 18:17.500 --> 18:21.460 out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh a good man out of the 18:21.460 --> 18:25.780 good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things and an evil man out of 18:25.780 --> 18:32.660 the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things but I say unto you that every 18:32.660 --> 18:37.100 idle word that men shall speak they shall give account thereof in the day of 18:37.100 --> 18:41.100 judgment so again you know you got to watch the kind of things that come out 18:41.100 --> 18:43.780 of your mouth right are you gonna just be someone that's trying to flatter 18:43.940 --> 18:47.860 people with your lips or having a double heart where you're just speaking you 18:47.860 --> 18:51.140 know two different things you know these people that will try you know believe 18:51.140 --> 18:55.580 two contrary things and still think it's you know one is true like we're talking 18:55.580 --> 18:59.620 about with the Bible false versions of the Bible you know but every idle word 18:59.620 --> 19:03.220 that men speak they're gonna have to give an account thereof you know an 19:03.220 --> 19:07.660 idol that just means useless in vain you know it's just worthless speech right 19:07.660 --> 19:11.660 and you know false prophets we see it preaching the gospel all the time they 19:11.660 --> 19:14.260 don't realize that they're talking out of both sides of their mouth all the 19:14.260 --> 19:19.500 time they're using like double speak and you know they say oh yeah I believe it's 19:19.500 --> 19:23.820 you know faith only but in no works but you got to have the works it's like 19:23.820 --> 19:27.380 sometimes when they're talking I don't even see how they're not hearing what 19:27.380 --> 19:30.060 they're saying what's coming actually coming out of their mouth that is 19:30.060 --> 19:33.940 completely contradictory one to another and but you know it's because they're 19:33.940 --> 19:37.780 not saved it's because that they don't understand that you know and and some of 19:37.780 --> 19:41.340 them will even try to flatter you too so you know but you definitely got to 19:41.340 --> 19:46.340 watch out for people that will try to flatter you right and false prophets man 19:46.340 --> 19:51.020 they do this so much though that just saying two things that are contradictory 19:51.020 --> 19:55.420 one to the another when it comes to the repent of your sins heresy right so 19:55.420 --> 20:01.060 back to Psalm 12 so this is where we know that God's gonna take care of 20:01.060 --> 20:04.820 business and we don't have to worry about the people that are out there and 20:04.820 --> 20:08.260 doing things wrong and the false prophets we already know the end of the 20:08.260 --> 20:13.100 book and what happens but Bible says the Lord shall cut off all flattering 20:13.100 --> 20:19.100 lips and the tongue that speaketh proud things turn to Proverbs chapter 29 20:19.100 --> 20:25.820 Proverbs 29 and keep your place in Psalm 12 I'm gonna read Proverbs 26 28 where 20:25.820 --> 20:30.300 it says a lying tongue hated those that are afflicted by it and a flattering 20:30.300 --> 20:36.740 mouth worketh ruin so a lying tongue and everybody hates a lying tongue right a 20:36.900 --> 20:41.500 flattering mouth it says it works ruin right you're there in Proverbs chapter 20:41.500 --> 20:46.700 29 look at verse 5 Bible says a man that flatters this neighbor 20:46.700 --> 20:51.980 spreaded the net for his feet and again like I said saying I think that's what AI 20:51.980 --> 20:55.820 is doing it's spraying a net for people it's just like a net gathers up a bunch 20:55.820 --> 20:59.380 of fish they're just gathering up a bunch of information plugging it in so 20:59.380 --> 21:02.380 they didn't know everything that we think about everything we do what we're 21:02.940 --> 21:07.700 arguing about what our arguments are because we argue with Grok sometimes or 21:07.700 --> 21:11.260 with AI sometimes at least I know I do I know you shouldn't but it just says 21:11.260 --> 21:15.780 such stupid things sometimes it's like you know you feel like just I know they 21:15.780 --> 21:19.060 don't have feelings but you're like that was really stupid what you just said 21:19.060 --> 21:21.640 there you know I'm just like you just want to tell it you just want to set it 21:21.640 --> 21:25.420 straight but you know some of the times I think it does know what the answer it 21:25.420 --> 21:29.540 just was like messing with me you know I've tried to get it to change a picture 21:29.540 --> 21:33.020 because I've seen people do some awesome things where they like plug a 21:33.020 --> 21:36.740 picture into AI and they just make it look so different or they just kind of 21:36.740 --> 21:41.020 do some like almost Photoshop type type stuff in there and like I've tried it 21:41.020 --> 21:45.980 and it just made the picture look like retarded I mean it was like totally 21:45.980 --> 21:49.940 deformed I was trying to do some things I'm like it looked like a kid drawing 21:49.940 --> 21:54.220 like made come like made alive I mean that's what the AI did to mine and I was 21:54.220 --> 21:58.340 like hey you seem like you're punking me right now because it's like I've seen 21:58.340 --> 22:01.520 some of the stuff that other people do on here and it's like maybe I just don't 22:01.520 --> 22:06.020 know the prompts but I'm just telling you I just think it's it's AI is it is a 22:06.020 --> 22:11.500 net it's just trying to spread a net for our feet you know because our feet are 22:11.500 --> 22:14.060 supposed to be going out and doing the things of God we're supposed to be going 22:14.060 --> 22:17.340 out preaching the gospel we shouldn't be all caught up in some of this garbage 22:17.340 --> 22:27.100 anyway but anyway some word back in Psalm 12 look at verse 4 it says who 22:27.100 --> 22:32.180 have said with our tongue who have said with our tongue will we prevail our 22:32.180 --> 22:38.620 lips are our own who is Lord over us so people you know again your words are 22:38.620 --> 22:42.500 important you know it's like that's why the Word of God is so important and it's 22:42.500 --> 22:47.100 why we're told to preach it why why that's the power behind what we say and 22:47.100 --> 22:52.900 do it's not our stories and our ability to be eloquent and whatever it's actually 22:52.900 --> 22:55.980 the words of God or what are the discerners of the thoughts and intents 22:55.980 --> 23:01.260 of our heart and but you know the thing is people that are false prophets or 23:01.260 --> 23:04.620 people that are contrary to the Word of God this is what they're saying they're 23:04.620 --> 23:08.700 saying their tongue will prevail you know our lips are our own you know 23:08.700 --> 23:13.620 that's that humanistic type mentality I was talking about you know this morning 23:13.620 --> 23:18.220 who is Lord over us they don't believe there's a God in heaven looking down at 23:18.220 --> 23:22.020 the things that they're doing right they think we're stupid for believing that our 23:22.020 --> 23:25.940 lips are our own there's they don't think anyone's Lord over them turn to 23:25.940 --> 23:34.060 Romans chapter 1 Romans chapter 1 we know this is the chapter that we 23:34.060 --> 23:39.140 sometimes go to when when necessary even out preaching the gospel where somebody 23:39.140 --> 23:43.540 maybe doesn't you know they have an issue with like some pedophile or some 23:43.540 --> 23:48.420 someone that is like you know a homosexual or whatever that has done 23:48.420 --> 23:52.020 something wrong to them or somebody's been like really abused and stuff there 23:52.020 --> 23:55.860 or a mass murderer they're like wait a minute this person could just believe on 23:55.860 --> 24:00.660 Christ and get saved so we like you know sometimes it's good to come to this 24:00.660 --> 24:04.620 chapter right I think there's an absolute reason why it's Romans 1 and 24:04.620 --> 24:09.020 Romans road is what we use it's kind of getting that out there right away just 24:09.020 --> 24:11.980 right out of the gates right there's some there's some people that just can't 24:11.980 --> 24:16.180 be saved but here's how most normal people are gonna get saved and you just 24:16.180 --> 24:21.540 kind of go from there but look at starting at verse 18 says for the wrath 24:21.540 --> 24:25.300 of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of 24:25.300 --> 24:29.260 men who hold the truth in unrighteousness because that which may be 24:29.260 --> 24:33.900 known of God is manifest in them for God has showed it unto them for the 24:33.900 --> 24:37.540 invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clear clearly 24:37.540 --> 24:41.860 seen being understood by the things that are made even as eternal power and 24:41.860 --> 24:45.820 Godhead and see it's understood by them that's why it says here so that's so 24:45.820 --> 24:51.580 that they are without excuse right because that when they knew God they 24:51.580 --> 24:56.940 glorified him not as God neither were thankful but became vain in their 24:56.940 --> 25:01.260 imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened so this is what this psalm was 25:01.260 --> 25:04.620 talking about I was talking about vain thinking right it's talking about people 25:04.620 --> 25:09.220 that said who is Lord over us right neither they said that they glorified 25:09.220 --> 25:13.700 him not as God that's the same these are that's talking about people that when 25:13.700 --> 25:18.940 you do this kind of thing you can be somebody that is look at verse 22 25:18.940 --> 25:23.420 professing themselves to be wise what happens they became fools and change the 25:23.420 --> 25:28.860 glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like two corruptible man 25:28.860 --> 25:32.980 into birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things wherefore God also gave 25:32.980 --> 25:36.940 them up to the to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts to 25:36.940 --> 25:40.780 dishonor their own bodies between themselves who changed the truth of God 25:40.780 --> 25:44.280 into a lie and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator who is 25:44.280 --> 25:50.320 blessed forever amen for this cause so for doing that God gave them up unto 25:50.320 --> 25:55.200 vile affections for even their women did change the natural use into that which 25:55.200 --> 25:59.920 is against nature and likewise also the man leaving the natural use of the women 25:59.920 --> 26:04.000 burned in their lust one toward another men with men working that which is 26:04.000 --> 26:09.480 unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was 26:09.480 --> 26:13.680 meat so they're gonna get exactly what's coming to them and it's not just like 26:13.680 --> 26:17.840 some normal sin it's not it's a sin that's not common to man it's something 26:17.840 --> 26:22.000 that's against nature and verse 28 and even as they did not like to retain God 26:22.000 --> 26:26.480 in their knowledge God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things 26:26.480 --> 26:31.680 which are not convenient being filled with all unrighteousness fornication 26:31.680 --> 26:37.640 wickedness covetousness maliciousness full of envy murder debate deceit 26:37.640 --> 26:42.640 malignity and you know this list is important to just always like look at 26:42.640 --> 26:47.400 and go over because this list can actually be filled with a lot of things 26:47.400 --> 26:51.680 that even saved people can do right besides some of the like the the 26:51.680 --> 26:57.600 faggity stuff right you know we're not capable of that but people are able to 26:57.600 --> 27:01.520 be wicked we're able to be covetous we could be full of envy or maliciousness 27:01.520 --> 27:05.800 right there could even be even murder with a Christian right we know that with 27:05.800 --> 27:09.320 King David and some of the examples we use you don't ever want to be an inventor 27:09.320 --> 27:13.400 of evil things disobedient to parents you know that's something that seems 27:13.400 --> 27:19.520 like to get we get a grief for because we support that a parent should be you 27:19.520 --> 27:22.520 know the ones that rule over their children and teach them in the ways that 27:22.520 --> 27:27.200 they should go of course but if they everyone has free will if they choose to 27:27.200 --> 27:33.480 go against that that is their choice right but we should never be as a child 27:33.480 --> 27:37.560 a child should never be disobedient to their parents or without understanding 27:37.600 --> 27:41.120 or covenant breakers right breaking something that you said you were going to do 27:41.120 --> 27:46.320 you know there's a lot of example examples of that in the Bible where God 27:46.320 --> 27:50.160 holds us to the covenants that we make you know I was just recently reading in 27:50.160 --> 27:54.840 the Bible and that story of Jephthah always just like it's just a terrible 27:54.840 --> 27:59.200 story where he just makes that oath to God and his daughter has to die as a 27:59.200 --> 28:03.320 result it's just it's really sad but it's just I think meant to highlight that 28:03.320 --> 28:08.080 God takes it very seriously when we say we're gonna do something right you know 28:08.080 --> 28:12.320 and really that that holds true to a lot of things that I think people take for 28:12.320 --> 28:16.280 granted when you say you know I think a lot of people have said certain things 28:16.280 --> 28:20.120 about even their faithfulness or even about the things that they believe are 28:20.120 --> 28:24.000 true about the Word of God and then just completely reverse course on it but the 28:24.000 --> 28:30.840 Bible says also in in this chapter here not to be with implacable unmerciful 28:30.840 --> 28:33.800 because obviously we're not gonna be without natural affection this is 28:33.800 --> 28:37.880 talking about reprobate who knowing the judgment of God and this whole is this 28:37.880 --> 28:42.320 whole chapter is talking about that but that they which commit such things are 28:42.320 --> 28:47.040 worthy of death not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them so we 28:47.040 --> 28:50.320 don't want to show any of those attributes that are possible for us to 28:50.320 --> 28:54.420 show that that line up with like somebody that's been given over to a 28:54.420 --> 28:58.480 reprobate mind and so we always should just be always studying and looking at 28:58.480 --> 29:03.280 the Word of God and just loving it and and believing it and doing it verse go 29:03.280 --> 29:09.200 back to Psalm 12 we're in verse 5 now says for the oppression of the Lord I'm 29:09.200 --> 29:14.400 I'm sorry for the oppression of the poor for the sighing of the needy now will I 29:14.400 --> 29:19.160 arise so now God's talking and people better pay attention right the people 29:19.160 --> 29:24.000 but say at the Lord I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him 29:24.000 --> 29:28.560 right and it reminds me too we're reading those those I mean we're not 29:28.560 --> 29:32.680 reading but we're hearing the kids just want to sing those songs like that Jesus 29:32.680 --> 29:37.000 yes Jesus loves me right and not that they're poor but I mean if you told them 29:37.000 --> 29:40.980 to go out and you know go buy you some groceries or whatever they don't they're 29:40.980 --> 29:44.240 not gonna probably have that much money to do it so really technically they are 29:44.240 --> 29:49.720 kind of poor but you know that the Bible says they are weak but he is strong so 29:49.720 --> 29:54.040 God is looking out for the poor he's looking out for the poor in spirit but 29:54.040 --> 29:57.640 he also does look out for the poor people that are just poor in general too 29:57.640 --> 30:01.920 though and the sighing of the needy when people are just like struggling in life 30:01.920 --> 30:06.680 sometimes you can just let out that sigh you know and God says he's gonna arise 30:06.680 --> 30:10.080 you know the people that puff at that them you know the people that are 30:10.080 --> 30:13.840 mocking you or the people that blow you you know want to blow you off and be 30:13.840 --> 30:17.640 arrogant against you that you know that's like somebody's puffing at you 30:17.680 --> 30:22.720 like they're just like doing that like they were they're just against you they're 30:22.720 --> 30:27.040 against God they hate God well God's gonna make that right God is gonna be 30:27.040 --> 30:32.440 somebody who sets you in safety but you know you have to be I think doing the 30:32.440 --> 30:36.760 things of God to put yourself in a position to be protected by God 30:36.760 --> 30:40.560 physically on this earth not not for your salvation just believing on him is 30:40.560 --> 30:44.120 good for that but there's physical things that we need there's physical 30:44.120 --> 30:47.800 things that God can save us from and protect us from you know and sometimes 30:47.800 --> 30:50.600 time and chance happens to everybody but you know there are a lot of things that 30:50.600 --> 30:55.640 I think we could avoid by doing that you know doing being faithful being diligent 30:55.640 --> 31:02.160 to seek and love God and love our fellow man verse 6 there says the words of the 31:02.160 --> 31:05.360 Lord are pure words as silver tried in furnace of earth purified seven times 31:05.360 --> 31:10.040 thou shall keep them O Lord thou shall preserve them from this generation 31:10.040 --> 31:15.840 forever and I'm gonna just let the verse speak for herself because I already just 31:15.840 --> 31:19.680 kind of fumbled through a sermon preaching on this topic but you know we 31:19.680 --> 31:22.840 know that God preserved his word we know that we do have a Bible that we can 31:22.840 --> 31:27.920 count on we do have a Bible that and every word Bible we have a Bible that 31:27.920 --> 31:31.840 is just it's you know I was just talking to brother Alex about it before the 31:31.840 --> 31:35.480 service it's just amazing how much it just lines up all these different 31:35.480 --> 31:39.000 authors that were moved by the Holy Ghost to speak these things right our 31:39.000 --> 31:43.600 spirit bear bear witness right that these things are true too and that's why 31:43.600 --> 31:47.640 that's all we really need we don't we don't need somebody to explain things to 31:47.640 --> 31:51.600 us we just need the Holy Spirit that's right there in us anyways but it's 31:51.600 --> 31:58.020 amazing how the Bible all just lines up it agrees with it with itself that's why 31:58.020 --> 32:02.640 precept upon precept here a little there a little we should we could go all over 32:02.640 --> 32:07.600 the Bible and just everything just matches up perfectly right all the 32:07.600 --> 32:11.600 things that Jesus like fulfilled it's all of it is just when you look at just 32:11.600 --> 32:16.560 how amazing it is it's very clearly that it's God breathe right and it's been 32:16.560 --> 32:22.000 preserved for us forever it you know it's forever for us and it's that's a 32:22.000 --> 32:27.800 beautiful thing too verse 8 the Bible says the wicked walk on every side and 32:27.800 --> 32:33.400 here we are we're already at the last verse right oh wait no it's not maybe it 32:33.400 --> 32:40.360 is but yeah but I got a lot I got a lot on this last verse so and it's not we're 32:40.360 --> 32:43.800 not we're not quite done but we're getting there close but the Bible says 32:43.800 --> 32:49.960 the wicked walk on every side when the vilest men are exalted right and walking 32:49.960 --> 32:54.200 on every side you know if you're walking on the left or the right you know you're 32:54.200 --> 32:57.640 not you're not following that straight path you're not doing the things of God 32:57.640 --> 33:06.440 right turn to Isaiah chapter 30 Isaiah chapter 30 and I'll read Deuteronomy 532 33:06.440 --> 33:09.760 I might have actually had this in my morning sermon but it says you shall 33:09.760 --> 33:13.800 observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath commanded you you shall not 33:13.800 --> 33:21.560 turn aside to the right hand or to the left we enter in at the straight gate 33:21.560 --> 33:26.840 too right so if you're if you're going off to the left or gone going off to the 33:26.840 --> 33:32.080 right you're typically not doing on the things of God right so why the Bible 33:32.080 --> 33:38.440 saying the wicked are the ones walking on every side and it says in Isaiah 33:38.440 --> 33:44.480 chapter 30 look at verse 20 the Bible says and though the Lord give you the 33:44.480 --> 33:51.280 bread of adversity and the water of affliction yet shall not thy teachers be 33:51.280 --> 33:58.160 removed into a corner anymore but thine eyes shall see thy teachers and thank 33:58.160 --> 34:02.720 you and the Bible is saying that the Lord you know this is interesting that 34:02.720 --> 34:07.480 the Lord sometimes you know he does let us go through some some challenges it 34:07.480 --> 34:10.880 says and though the Lord even if the Lord give you the bread of adversity 34:10.880 --> 34:16.080 right or the water of affliction where sometimes he's he is proving us right and 34:16.080 --> 34:21.240 he's proving us to see how are you gonna respond right are you gonna are you 34:21.240 --> 34:26.040 gonna you know just be self-centered or you're gonna only think of yourself are 34:26.040 --> 34:28.920 you gonna put others before you are you gonna love your neighbor as yourself 34:28.920 --> 34:33.600 right or or are you gonna just follow what the Word of God says even if you 34:33.600 --> 34:38.400 know somebody might be mocking you or scorning you or against you you know and 34:38.400 --> 34:45.280 it says that your eyes can't see your teachers right but your eyes definitely 34:45.280 --> 34:48.000 are gonna see your teachers if you aren't at church because we have a 34:48.000 --> 34:52.960 pastor who is here to teach us things about the Bible too and to preach the 34:52.960 --> 34:57.480 Word of God to us and you you got to know who are your teachers who are you 34:57.480 --> 35:01.560 allowing to influence the things that you believe and do you know are the the 35:01.560 --> 35:05.640 you know the Bible says it says right in the verse there right the vilest men are 35:05.640 --> 35:10.640 exalted right the wicked walking on every side when the vilest men are 35:10.640 --> 35:15.000 exalted and right now there is a lot of vile men that are exalted really and 35:15.000 --> 35:18.840 it's it's pretty sad that we're living in a time where there are so many vile 35:18.840 --> 35:23.720 men that do get put on a pedestal but you know if they're against the things 35:23.720 --> 35:28.520 of God you should never put you should never exalt them you know there's 35:28.520 --> 35:31.920 certain things too like you know with government or things like that too where 35:31.920 --> 35:36.280 we do have to follow we're called to be as Christians to follow the things of 35:36.280 --> 35:39.640 government right and they're they're there to protect us from from evil 35:39.640 --> 35:44.240 things too and God did put that in but you shouldn't exalt them that's it God 35:44.240 --> 35:48.480 always takes precedent in our life you shouldn't exalt any podcasters you 35:48.480 --> 35:52.480 shouldn't exalt you know anybody nobody should be because there's a lot of 35:52.480 --> 35:56.120 wicked people that believe a lot of wicked things that are actually very 35:56.120 --> 36:00.840 highly exalted and and it says the wicked walk on every side when when that 36:00.840 --> 36:05.520 happens so that's because those men are typically teaching so many different 36:05.520 --> 36:08.360 things so many different things that are contrary to what the Word of God 36:08.360 --> 36:12.680 teaches they're teaching so many things that are just so opposite to the Word of 36:12.680 --> 36:17.640 God but sometimes it sounds good sometimes or sometimes it like appeals 36:17.640 --> 36:21.520 to our flesh and so we're still willing to kind of give it ear but if it 36:21.520 --> 36:25.800 contradicts the Word of God then you should just walk away from that right 36:25.800 --> 36:31.840 because God did put teachers into our lives he did say to follow a man of God 36:31.840 --> 36:35.820 as he follows Christ you know and we want to make sure that we have the right 36:35.820 --> 36:41.560 teachers right look at verse 21 in Isaiah 30 the I was had you in Isaiah 30 36:41.560 --> 36:47.080 just read verse 20 now verse 21 says and nine ears shall hear a word behind 36:47.080 --> 36:53.240 thee saying this is the way walk ye in it when you turn to the right hand and 36:53.240 --> 36:57.400 when you turn to the left so that's what the preaching is for it's like hey you 36:57.400 --> 37:00.000 got to hear that word preach it's like hey you're starting to go to the right 37:00.000 --> 37:04.400 hand or to the left you need to go this way this is the way you should go the 37:04.400 --> 37:08.120 way that's in this book that we know is preserved because again if it's not 37:08.120 --> 37:11.760 preserved then we aren't gonna know the way to go so God would never do that to 37:11.760 --> 37:16.240 us because God is a loving God and so we're here to says hey your ears should 37:16.240 --> 37:20.560 be quick to hear that's why that we talk about that like give us ears to hear you 37:20.560 --> 37:23.800 hear that a lot of time men pray that in the beginning of the service give us 37:23.800 --> 37:27.680 ears to hear but the thing is you can't just be a hearer though we know that too 37:27.680 --> 37:31.760 so you line up the Bible precept among precept don't just be a hearer of the 37:31.760 --> 37:36.040 word be a doer too right but it says your ears shall hear a word behind these 37:36.040 --> 37:39.960 saying this is the way walkie in it and that's what we want to hear we want to 37:39.960 --> 37:43.920 let those kind of men that are preaching the Word of God be our teachers right so 37:43.920 --> 37:48.700 and so that we don't turn to the right hand or to the left so you know we're 37:48.700 --> 37:52.640 all prone to get off course and preaching is meant to tell us that hey 37:52.640 --> 37:56.880 go this way you know you're going the wrong way you know you're believing 37:56.880 --> 38:01.400 something that's false start believing what the Bible says right get back on 38:01.400 --> 38:05.520 track because we're all gonna fall but you know what we just get back up just 38:05.520 --> 38:13.800 get back on the horse you know turn to Proverbs chapter 4 Proverbs chapter 4 38:13.800 --> 38:23.600 look at verse 25 says let thine eyes look right on and let thine eyelids look 38:23.600 --> 38:27.120 straight before thee see that's what we're supposed to look look straight 38:27.120 --> 38:31.200 look straight ahead look at the Word of God it's the clear path says ponder the 38:31.200 --> 38:36.040 path of thy feet and let all thy ways be established turn not to the right hand 38:36.040 --> 38:44.160 or to the left remove thy foot from evil so you know I asked if who are you 38:44.160 --> 38:48.000 know who are your teachers who are the people that you're putting or exalting 38:48.000 --> 38:52.280 right because that the proof the proof is probably going to be in your actions 38:52.280 --> 38:57.560 you know are you putting the people that are you know exalting the Word of God or 38:57.680 --> 39:01.400 are you doing things from people that are wicked and you're exalting them 39:01.400 --> 39:05.880 you're you're exalting what wicked men are saying about the Word of God that's 39:05.880 --> 39:09.440 contrary to what we know to be true don't don't ever put yourself in God's 39:09.440 --> 39:14.280 crosshairs that way because you know God says that when vile men are 39:14.280 --> 39:18.480 exalted you're gonna you're gonna walk in the wrong direction and it's easy to 39:18.480 --> 39:23.680 do when we have so many people influencing us from day to day in pretty 39:23.680 --> 39:28.840 much all areas of our life your your friends possibly you know or people that 39:28.840 --> 39:33.160 aren't saved that you knew in the past your family sometimes your co-workers 39:33.160 --> 39:37.440 right but it should never be coming from people that you know you went to church 39:37.440 --> 39:41.040 with or that you know you know that are your brothers and sisters in Christ so 39:41.040 --> 39:49.400 you got it sometimes you got to be careful there too Titus I'll just you 39:49.400 --> 39:53.560 don't have to turn there I'm gonna read Titus chapter 1 verse 15 it says under 39:53.560 --> 39:58.240 the pure all things are pure but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is 39:58.240 --> 40:04.360 nothing pure but even their mind and conscience is defiled so that kind of 40:04.360 --> 40:06.920 speaks to what I preach about this morning too though because we talked 40:06.920 --> 40:10.840 about the Word of God being pure but people that just are unbelieving you 40:10.840 --> 40:13.360 know they don't think that the Word of God is pure they don't think that it 40:13.360 --> 40:17.040 even can't be pure and that their mind and conscience is defiled so their 40:17.040 --> 40:20.320 conscience won't prick them when they're doing things that are contrary to God 40:20.320 --> 40:24.680 because for one they don't believe it they're unbelieving but in verse 16 it 40:24.680 --> 40:27.840 says they profess that they know God because there's a lot of people that do 40:27.840 --> 40:31.000 that too they say they're Christian but then they don't believe what the Bible 40:31.000 --> 40:36.960 actually says about certain things right but in works they deny him being 40:36.960 --> 40:41.620 abominable and disobedient and unto every good work reprobate that's a 40:41.620 --> 40:46.040 pretty that's a pretty strong statement when the Bible says that your works are 40:46.040 --> 40:49.840 going to be what shows that you're denying the things of God that maybe your 40:49.840 --> 40:53.280 teachers are probably the wrong ones that you're listening to you know the 40:53.280 --> 40:57.800 wrong people if they're telling you to do things and it says being abominable so 40:57.800 --> 41:01.000 you're doing things that God hates and obviously that's going to be 41:01.000 --> 41:06.560 disobedient you know I think it's a sad day and time that we live in when saved 41:06.560 --> 41:11.040 people can actually fit that work this verse where they're just believing 41:11.040 --> 41:14.400 because they're probably listening to the wrong teachers they're 41:14.400 --> 41:17.600 listening to people that are telling them the things that like we've probably 41:17.600 --> 41:21.000 beat the drum on a lot like I already said like church is not important 41:21.000 --> 41:25.040 soul-willing is not important you know somebody else is gonna do it or whatever 41:25.040 --> 41:30.480 on and on and on and it says that you know being abominable they're doing 41:30.480 --> 41:34.720 things that God hates right and there's a lot of people that'll do one thing you 41:34.720 --> 41:37.800 know at church and then they'll do another thing somewhere else where 41:37.800 --> 41:40.920 they're abominable maybe they're cross-dressing as a woman or something 41:40.920 --> 41:44.240 that's an easy one to fall in or they're doing other things that the Bible says 41:44.240 --> 41:50.400 are abominable that God actually hates and you know I don't think it's ever you 41:50.400 --> 41:55.560 can ever like overdo reading the things that God hates because again a Christian 41:55.560 --> 42:01.520 can very often do the things that God hates James chapter 3 verse 13 says who 42:01.520 --> 42:06.280 is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you let him show out of a good 42:06.280 --> 42:10.160 conversation and that's just your way of life that's just not your just what 42:10.160 --> 42:16.600 you're saying with your words his works with meekness of wisdom so again God is 42:16.600 --> 42:20.600 looking at the things that we do with our lives and with our time and he's 42:20.600 --> 42:26.160 saying hey let him let that be shown by the way that you live your life so we 42:26.160 --> 42:30.520 should be playing very close turn to Proverbs chapter 6 we should be paying 42:30.520 --> 42:39.080 very close attention to the things that God hates right because the vilest men 42:39.240 --> 42:43.080 are we're in a time when the vilest men are exalted we're I mean I'm there's 42:43.080 --> 42:47.080 nothing new under the Sun so I'm sure it happened you know in every generation 42:47.080 --> 42:52.200 but never has there been like a generation like ours I you know I don't 42:52.200 --> 42:56.840 think where so many people can see what's happening I mean all over the 42:56.840 --> 43:02.120 world so you get to see a lot of you know vile men you get to see a lot of 43:02.120 --> 43:07.720 diversity of vile men basically from all over the world so and some of the things 43:07.720 --> 43:12.960 God hates there are in Proverbs we know these are famous verses six look at 43:12.960 --> 43:18.120 verse 16 it says these six things doth the Lord hate so again these are these 43:18.120 --> 43:21.960 are things that Christians can do so we should we should really take heed 43:21.960 --> 43:27.200 yea seven are an abomination unto him a proud look so somebody that just gives 43:27.200 --> 43:30.200 you that look where they just think they're just like better than you or 43:30.200 --> 43:34.560 something or they're proud right they're proud like like these people that are in 43:34.560 --> 43:39.600 Tel Aviv now right that the proud the pride festivals and things like that a 43:39.600 --> 43:45.280 lying tongue I hate a lying tongue hands that shed innocent blood that's a 43:45.280 --> 43:49.520 no-brainer right and heart that divides it wicked imagination so people that 43:49.520 --> 43:54.360 just think wicked things right I think that's wicked to think that everybody 43:54.360 --> 43:59.160 in the new IFB is not saved what a wicked imagination is that feet that be 43:59.160 --> 44:05.040 swift in running to mischief right a false witness that speaketh lies that's 44:05.040 --> 44:09.600 a that's a horrible thing the damage that a false witness does is unspeakable 44:09.600 --> 44:14.160 it's it's and we're living in a time where that's just really really rampant 44:14.160 --> 44:17.680 where you have people that are false witnesses that are speaking lies and this 44:17.680 --> 44:22.440 these are things that God hates he that's so a discord among brethren that's 44:22.440 --> 44:26.440 a big one right now too people that would just so discord among brethren when 44:26.440 --> 44:29.360 we're supposed to love one another that's how God knows where his disciples 44:29.360 --> 44:35.680 right and you know and obviously we don't have to worry about you know one 44:35.680 --> 44:39.200 of the other things God hates but it's still good to kick that dog when it's 44:39.200 --> 44:44.240 down if a man also lie with mankind and Leviticus 20 13 as he lies with the 44:44.240 --> 44:48.120 woman both of them have committed an abomination they shall surely be put to 44:48.120 --> 44:53.200 death their blood shall be upon them and you know the tide has been turning with 44:53.200 --> 44:56.920 that so I think maybe it's not getting preached as much but here we're coming 44:56.920 --> 45:01.040 up we're in May this year goes by quick next month's gonna be Pride Month I'm 45:01.040 --> 45:06.200 really hoping for another Pride Month like last month you know and in Canada 45:06.200 --> 45:11.080 they recently actually passed something a law and I don't know why it's sorry 45:11.080 --> 45:15.800 that this is I don't know why it's like getting the feedback but I popped it up 45:15.800 --> 45:20.760 because I I saw a post that said that Canada made sections of the Bible 45:20.760 --> 45:24.200 illegal and that you could get in trouble or even get thrown in jail for 45:24.200 --> 45:29.960 it but it's not quite like that but it's kind of like it's like the gateway to it 45:29.960 --> 45:34.920 basically because they have a bill a bill c9 that passed and basically like 45:34.920 --> 45:39.720 quoting certain verses of the Bible like I just quoted there Leviticus 20 13 you 45:39.720 --> 45:43.560 know they're okay with you maybe quoting the verse of the Bible or verses that 45:43.560 --> 45:48.480 supposedly they say are anti-semitic or whatever verses that are against like 45:49.440 --> 45:53.320 verses that are against even like adultery saying it has the death penalty 45:53.320 --> 45:56.460 because obviously adultery is one of those things that's so prevalent in 45:56.460 --> 46:00.920 society so a lot of these things that are that that vile men have made just 46:00.920 --> 46:06.560 normal you know society has tried to make normal you know the Bible when the 46:06.560 --> 46:11.080 Bible speaks against those things it's okay they say in good faith if you're 46:11.080 --> 46:18.760 just like reading the verse but basically if you express like they call 46:18.760 --> 46:25.280 it willful promotion of hatred so it you know who interprets that you can get 46:25.280 --> 46:28.320 some judge that just interprets that it you know in a way that says hey if you 46:28.320 --> 46:32.000 preach it from the pulpit you then you're willfully promoting hatred you're 46:32.000 --> 46:36.040 promoting if you sing a psalm that says do not I hate them a Lord that hate thee 46:36.040 --> 46:39.820 you know somebody could rat us out if we're in Canada and say they're 46:40.580 --> 46:43.500 promoting hatred they're singing a whole they're singing it with gusto do not I 46:43.500 --> 46:47.700 hate them a Lord that hate thee right so basically they're saying it's okay to 46:47.700 --> 46:52.820 read the verse but just don't believe it that's kind of essentially like if you 46:52.820 --> 46:56.420 were to put it in a nutshell that is where where they're going with that you 46:56.420 --> 47:01.820 can't express conviction of it because you know they're saying that you know you 47:01.820 --> 47:06.300 can't willfully or deliberately promote it so what does that I mean again what 47:06.300 --> 47:09.980 does that even mean there's a lot of things that they could do with that it 47:09.980 --> 47:14.300 basically what there's what they said and what I read about it is it it's sort 47:14.300 --> 47:19.020 of just takes away an element of protection that Christians had like a 47:19.020 --> 47:23.340 shield so to speak right when we know the Word of God is our shield we just 47:23.340 --> 47:27.140 have to stand firm on the Word of God regardless of like a wicked country like 47:27.140 --> 47:32.780 Canada is doing to kind of make the Word of God illegal for us to believe it you 47:33.380 --> 47:36.740 could read it just don't believe it you know don't let your actions show that 47:36.740 --> 47:40.700 you believe it you know it's okay that you know we if we occasionally hear you 47:40.700 --> 47:44.300 just ran it you know reading a chapter of the Bible and that verse comes up and 47:44.300 --> 47:48.740 you know you're just reading through it that's okay but don't preach on the 47:48.740 --> 47:52.220 subject or something right don't make it like where you're deliberately 47:52.220 --> 47:57.100 supposedly promoting hatred well you know what the Bible says we should hate 47:57.100 --> 48:00.620 the things God hates so we don't care what other people say about that right 48:01.100 --> 48:06.820 and you know so we want to just make sure that we're we're just believing the 48:06.820 --> 48:12.540 Bible we're not doing the things that make God angry or things that God hates 48:12.540 --> 48:21.940 we don't want to turn to turn to Proverbs chapter 17 like I said you know 48:21.940 --> 48:27.260 the the things on abominations that things that God hates that a reprobate 48:27.260 --> 48:30.340 does we obviously don't have to worry about that our job is to worry about the 48:30.340 --> 48:34.860 things that God hates that a Christian can easily partake in and this is one 48:34.860 --> 48:46.980 here in Proverbs 17 and I'm almost done here too but when Christians like hear a 48:46.980 --> 48:51.340 railing accusation and they don't call it out or they justify it you know or 48:51.340 --> 48:55.940 they you know so even even when it comes from other men of God I mean it should I 48:55.940 --> 49:00.260 like when our pastors call that kind of stuff out people shouldn't defend that 49:00.260 --> 49:08.900 kind of thing right Proverbs chapter 717 look at verse 15 he that justifies 49:08.900 --> 49:15.420 the wicked and he that contempt condemned the just even they both are 49:15.420 --> 49:23.140 abomination to the Lord so when you're somebody that justifies the wicked just 49:23.140 --> 49:26.300 like the Bible says that there in some that we were reading there in Psalm 12 49:26.300 --> 49:30.180 that final verse there the wicked walk on every side when the vilest men are 49:30.180 --> 49:35.860 exalted so when you're justifying wicked behavior or you're condemning just 49:35.860 --> 49:41.220 behavior you know behavior that is is called out as just in the Bible that God 49:41.220 --> 49:45.620 literally hates that so we don't ever want to be on the side of that for sure 49:45.620 --> 49:50.460 as Christians where you know we justify wicked behavior we justify like a 49:50.460 --> 49:55.660 railing or we justify like just things that the Bible flat-out calls like wrong 49:56.660 --> 50:02.740 right we don't want to ever do that and what basically when we live contrary to 50:02.740 --> 50:06.940 the Word of God whether you like it or not when you're living contrary to the 50:06.940 --> 50:11.220 things that God is asking you to do in the Bible then you're the vilest men are 50:11.220 --> 50:16.140 exalted or you're exalting vile men because you're you're putting the things 50:16.140 --> 50:19.580 that they believe over the things that God believes over the things that God 50:19.580 --> 50:24.780 says and over the things that God wants us to do so we don't ever want to do 50:24.780 --> 50:29.540 that we want that we do want the Bible to be our shield we we you know we don't 50:29.540 --> 50:33.060 want to just ever you know it's a fearful thing to fall in the hands of 50:33.060 --> 50:36.840 the Living God so we don't want to ever be in the crosshairs of God where we're 50:36.840 --> 50:41.620 contrary to the things that he wants us to do you know the Bible says that we 50:41.620 --> 50:46.500 want to be loving the Word of God we want to be loving God with our heart 50:46.500 --> 50:50.480 mind soul and strength and you know loving our neighbor as ourself we want 50:50.480 --> 50:55.040 to just which means we're just tied up in what the law is asking us to do the 50:55.040 --> 51:00.640 whole laws summed up in that point and the Bible is what we should stand on we 51:00.640 --> 51:05.400 don't want to be contrary to the Word of God in any area of our life and so you 51:05.400 --> 51:11.040 know we should be thankful that we go to a church that does put God at the head 51:11.040 --> 51:16.880 God is exalted we sing out to God that's why this Psalm is important I like that 51:16.880 --> 51:21.960 it all this a lot of the Psalms call that out that it's a it's music and it's 51:21.960 --> 51:26.080 music to God's ears when we hear the Word of God when we do the Word of God 51:26.080 --> 51:30.880 when we sing out to him and we don't do these things that justify wicked 51:30.880 --> 51:35.160 behavior or exalt men that are just against God so we should love the Word 51:35.160 --> 51:39.920 of God you know love our church love the brethren love our pastor you know 51:39.920 --> 51:43.760 Sherri and pray for them because they always have the crosshairs on them but 51:43.760 --> 51:47.840 just be grateful that we get attend a church that does put the first things 51:47.840 --> 51:51.860 first and that we do want to do we want to do the things of God and love the 51:51.860 --> 51:55.800 things of God and we should always be that way don't ever let your hearts just 51:55.800 --> 51:59.760 you know go to the right hand or to the left when it comes to the things of God 51:59.760 --> 52:02.960 and loving the Bible loving the Word of God so let's pray 52:02.960 --> 52:07.080 Heavenly Father thank you Lord so much for the Bible and how much truth we get 52:07.080 --> 52:11.000 it and how much we get also even from the Psalms just pray that you would lift 52:11.040 --> 52:15.040 up our church bless us as we go our separate ways and just bring everybody 52:15.040 --> 52:19.400 back that's that sick and you know just needs your blessing in their life I pray 52:19.400 --> 52:23.440 that you would just help them and just bring us back you know when we come to 52:23.440 --> 52:27.160 church next and we pray in Jesus name amen 52:27.160 --> 52:44.040
