We see that Sarah's trying to do God's will her way.
You know, it's like when God is doing something
in our life and he's allowing us to go through some trial
and we just try to finagle our way through it
by compromising.
You're like, well, you know,
I'm just going to have to work on Sundays from now on.
You know, if this is what God wants me to do,
if I'm supposed to get married, you know,
if I've got to do this,
or if I am going to provide for my children
and I just got to work on Sundays.
Well, no, that's, that's you trying to do God's will
your way.
You know, if God commands us to do something,
he will enable us and equip us to do it.
Okay.
Don't be like Sarah and get a Hagar.
Well, I just can't find any girl.
I guess I'll just get some worldly girl out there
who's not saved, not a Christian,
and just kind of go that route.
You know, I'll just go grab me a Hagar, an Egyptian.
Yeah, but you might produce an Ishmael.
Okay.
And in fact, it could be worse for you
because what can happen is you can fornicate,
have a bastard child,
and then you have a really big issue
because now you had, not only do you have
a bastard child, you have come together
with an individual who's not a believer.
Many violations of scripture throughout this entire scenario
that typically happens sometimes, you understand?
Now people make mistakes, you know,
and look, don't be offended
if I use the word bastard either, okay?
Bastard is a biblical term.
You know, obviously it's been demonized by our culture
to mean like a cuss word or something.
It's a biblical term, folks.
And look, in the day and age in which we live,
there are many bastards out there, unfortunately, okay?
So, and that doesn't mean that God can't use them.
Doesn't mean that, you know, they can't get,
obviously they can get saved.
God can use them.
They can be great for the Lord.
It's possible, but this is just the result
of someone doing things their own way
and not God's way, you understand?
Don't let some pastor out there,
oh, they cuss for the pulpit because he's a bastard.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you were more holy than God.
You know?
Yeah, I know the word says ass,
but you know, I'm not gonna use it
because I have a higher standard than God does.
