Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Hello.
Thank you.
Good evening, everyone.
Welcome to Faithful Word Baptist Church.
It's very nice to see you all here on this Wednesday evening.
Find your seats, please. Grab a hymn.
I'll go to hymn number 49. We'll get started tonight.
Hymn number 49.
Number 49, meet me there.
Hymn number 49.
We'll start on that first verse together.
Number 49 begins
on the happy golden shore
where the faithful part is.
Let's take a sound.
Pass the scroll on that verse, hymn number 49.
On the happy golden shore
where the faithful part is no more
where the joys of life are more
meet me there.
Where the life is gone so way
is a perfect day.
I am going home to say
meet me there.
Meet me there.
Where the tree of life
will meet me there.
Meet me there.
Where the tree of life
will meet me there.
When the storms of life
flow on the happy
golden shore
where the faithful
part no more
meet me there.
Here our fondness hopes are made
here our slaves are ripe to train
but in heaven
our drama may meet me there.
By the river
sparkling white
in the city of delight
where our faith
is lost inside
meet me there.
Meet me there.
Where the tree of life
is going to meet me there.
When the storms
of life are gone
the happy golden shore
where the faithful
part no more
meet me there.
Where the hearts of angels
ring and the blessed forever
sing
in the palace of the king
meet me there.
Where is he
to give you glad hearted hearted
and kind of friend.
In the world
and there shall end
meet me there.
Meet me there.
Where the tree of life
is going to meet me there.
Meet me there.
Where the storms
of life are gone
the happy golden shore
where the faithful
part no more
meet me there.
Amen.
Good start to our singing this evening.
We want to go to the Lord in prayer for the service
so if you would bow your heads together with me.
Dear Heavenly Father we come before you tonight
and we thank you for the opportunity
to be in church this evening.
We thank you for the blessing upon us as we
lift our voices to you in praise and worship.
Help us to worship in spirit and in truth.
And we just ask Lord that you would
be with brother Dylan Nause as he comes
and preaches to us. We thank you for bringing him here
safely. And that's everything
that's said in them. We'd be honoring and glorifying
to you. Help us have open hearts
and ears to receive the message
tonight. For it's in Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
Up to hymn number 58.
Hymn number 58.
The early gates will open.
Hymn number 58. We'll start on that first verse together.
58.
Love divides its open rates and wonders.
Hymn number 58. Sing it out.
Love divides
the great and wondrous
deep
and mighty
curse of life.
Loving
from the heart of Jesus
is just the same
protest of time.
He the early gates
will open
so
that I may enter in
for
he perches
my redemption
and will give me
all my sin.
Like a
dove
identified
him as
the wounded one was I.
Broken
hearted yet
healed me.
He will feed the
sinners
cry.
He the early gates
will open
so that I
may enter in
for
he perches my
redemption
and forgave me
all my sin.
Love
divides the great
and wondrous
all my sins
he then forgave
I
will sing his praise
forever
for his blood is
power to save.
He
the early gates
will open
so that I
may enter in
for
he perches my
redemption
and forgave me
all my sin.
Oh,
bless
my life
as more
are not conveyed
by
the precious blood of
Jesus. I shall
enter heaven's
name.
He
the early gates will
open
so that I
may enter in
for
he perches my
redemption
and forgave me
all my sin.
Amen. This time we're
going to go over the bulletin, so if you need one, raise your hand

Bibles to 2 Timothy chapter

chapter number 4
2 Timothy chapter 4
Bible reads
I charge thee therefore before
God and the Lord Jesus Christ who shall
judge the quick and the dead at his appearing
and his kingdom
preach the word be
instant in season out of season
reprove rebuke
exhort with all long suffering
and doctrine for the time
will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine but after
their own lust shall they heap to
themselves teachers having
itching ears they shall turn
away their ears from the truth
and shall be turned unto fables
but watch thou in all things
endure afflictions
do the work of an evangelist
make full proof of thy ministry
for I am now ready to be offered
in the time of my departure is at hand
I have fought a good fight I
have finished my course I have kept the faith
henceforth there is laid
up for me a crown of righteousness
which the Lord the righteous judge
shall give me at that day and not
to me only but unto all
them also that love his appearing

this present world and is departed

to me for the ministry
and Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus

Karpus when thou comest bring with thee
and the books but especially the
parchments Alexander
the coppersmith did me much evil

to his works of whom be thou
where also for he hath greatly
withstood our words
and at my first answer no man
stood with me but all men
forsook me I pray God that it
may not be laid to their charge
notwithstanding the Lord
stood with me and strengthened me
that by me the preaching
might be fully known and that all the Gentiles
might hear and I was delivered
out of the mouth of the lion
and the Lord shall deliver me from
every evil work and will preserve me
unto his heavenly kingdom
to whom be glory forever
and ever Amen

thy spirit grace be with you
Amen
Dear Father in Heaven please fill
Brother Dylan Alls with your spirit and please give us
all ears to hear and wisdom from the sermon this
evening we pray in Jesus' name Amen
Amen well thank you so much
for being here this evening
I realize probably many of you don't know
who I am so by way of introduction
my name is Brother Dylan Alls
I attend Steadfast Baptist Church
I've been working for Pastor Shelley
for the last four years
and actually Lord willing this weekend
my family and I are going to be
moving to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
to kind of transition to
taking on the leadership of that church
just as a satellite leader
so looking forward to that
and I just want to say thank you so much to
Pastor Anderson, to Mrs. Anderson
for having me this evening
it is a great honor and privilege
this church and Pastor Anderson
has been a blessing to me
for literally over a decade
I got saved
I know it was either 2013 or 2014
I wish I would have written it down the day I got saved
I'm a first generation Christian, I didn't know how awesome
you know, what had just happened to me
I watched one of the documentaries here
and at the very end it had a gospel presentation
by Pastor Jimenez
that's when I called upon the name of the Lord
and ever since then I've been listening to the preaching
from this church and from Pastor Jimenez
faithfully, so thank you guys
for being such a great church
and thank you Pastor Anderson
you guys have a great area here
I was trying to become an Arizonan today
and I was trying to go running in the desert
by that Hole of the Rock area
just trying to suck up the heat
I was like the only one out there
so maybe that was a bad idea, I don't know
and it's been great so far
so thank you all for being here this evening
so we're in 2 Timothy chapter number 4
let's start reading in verse number 1
the Bible says
I charge thee therefore before God
and the Lord Jesus Christ
who shall judge the quick and the dead
at his appearing and his kingdom
preach the word
be instant in season, out of season
reprove, rebuke, exhort
with all longsuffering and doctrine
for the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine but after their own lusts
shall they heap to themselves
teachers having itching ears
and they shall be turned, they shall
turn away their ears from the truth
and shall be turned unto fables
but watch thou in all things endure afflictions
do the work of an evangelist
make full proof of thy ministry
for I am now ready to be offered
and the time of my departure is at hand
and then the Apostle Paul
says these very famous words here
he's fought a good fight
I've finished my course
I have kept the faith
you know those are some very powerful verses
some very familiar verses in Christianity
and especially verse 7 where it says
that he's fought a good fight
but in the context of this chapter
how is it that the Apostle Paul
defines himself having
fought the good fight
well it's in verse number 2
preach the word
you know that's the fight that we're in today
we're in a spiritual battle
we're in a spiritual fight and the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, no rather our weapon
is the word of God and fighting the good fight
involves preaching the word
now part of the reason
that we have to preach the word
is because there's lots of people
in this world that are not preaching the word
and in fact there's a lot of people
who stand up behind pulpits today
and they proclaim that they're preaching the word
they act like they're preaching the word
but really they're perverting it
they're lying about it
what are these people? False prophets
so one of the jobs
of every single preacher
is to preach against
false prophets, why?
well let's go to 2 Peter chapter 2
2 Peter chapter number 2
let's look at 2 Peter chapter number 2
in verse 1 it says
but there were false prophets
also among the people
there shall be false teachers among you
who privately shall bring in damnable
heresies even denying the Lord
that bought them and bring upon themselves
swift destruction
and many shall follow there
notice this word pernicious
ways that word pernicious
means harmful
and you know one of the things that just pisses me
off so much about false
prophets is that they are
hurting people
they're actually causing real harm
to real souls
the Bible says that many shall follow
their pernicious ways
meaning that many people are being
negatively affected by false prophets
which is why we have to preach against them so
often, look at the rest of this verse it says
by reason of whom the way of truth
shall be evil spoken of
you know another thing
that really pisses me off about false prophets
is that it causes Christianity
to be spoken evil of
you know people will look at
a false prophet and then they'll say
oh all these Christians are like
this guy or they'll blaspheme Jesus
Christ or they'll blaspheme the
words of God because of the actions
and preaching of a false prophet
I don't know about you, that makes me really angry
so tonight I'd like to preach against one
specific false prophet and the title
of my sermon is Andy Stanley
Exposed
Andy Stanley Exposed, raise your hand if you know
who this guy is, this guy is really
big, in fact ever before
I was even saved I saw videos
of this guy on the internet
he runs a giant mega church
and really I'm not preaching
this sermon against Andy Stanley
just because of Andy Stanley
the reason I'm preaching this sermon is because
Andy Stanley is actually a type
of a certain type of
pastor that's out there and that is the new
evangelical, pretty much
everything that I'm going to be talking about tonight with
Andy Stanley you could pretty much apply
to the whole new evangelical movement
and all these pastors that are involved
in the movement of the seeker sensitive
church, these are the churches that have
the rock band, these are the churches that have
the smoke and the lights and the skinny
jeans and the glass pulpit
and the modern Bible versions, not
the King James, some
effeminate pastor, often times there's a female
pastor along with it, Andy
Stanley is a type of these type of people
he's in his own movement
if you will, and so I think
he deserves a whole sermon
recently on July 1st
2024, Andy Stanley
preached a sermon called
Broken and Grateful
and his sermon was basically
him just lamenting about
some of the quote problems he sees in
Christianity and him also
rejoicing about what he sees as
positive developments in his movement
now, go to
Matthew chapter number 28, Matthew chapter number
28
number 1, Andy
Stanley has bad teaching
on the scripture, Andy
Stanley has bad teaching on the scripture
and you know not just Andy Stanley
all of these new evangelical preachers
and pastors, they have bad
doctrine when it comes to how
Christians should view the word of God
itself, you're there in Matthew chapter
number 28, this is actually the sermon
text of his sermon that I'm going to be referencing
tonight and let me just warn you
I'm going to be quoting a lot from him
so it's going to be a little painful tonight because
you're going to have to hear a lot of the garbage that he says
so just buckle up and get ready for that
but this is his sermon text
Matthew 28 18
and Jesus came and spake unto them
saying, all power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth
go ye therefore and teach all nations
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you
lo, I am with you always, even unto the
end of the world, Amen
now of course I'm reading that to you this evening
in the King James Bible
because this is the pure words of God right here
the King James Version, Andy Stanley's not doing that
but I just want you to know that this is the verse
that he's referencing in his sermon
this is quote from him, he said this
and then Jesus begins his farewell
address with what I think
is the most important
and the most overlooked statement
in the entire New Testament
now I'll agree the Great Commission
is definitely one of the most important statements
in the entire New Testament but
overlooked, I don't know how you can make the case that
this isn't one of the most famous verses in the
New Testament, I wouldn't say that this is very
overlooked, maybe in practice
but he says this, but for sure
this is the most important and the most overlooked
underplayed, doesn't get
any air time statement in the whole
New Testament and what should get your
attention is for those of you who are raised in church
you don't know what the next statement is
and I think it's the preeminent
this is crazy talk unless
it's true and if it's true
the church should organize around this statement
and if the church had organized
around this statement the church
would look better, feel better
and be more forward thinking
and more inclusive
than it currently is, did you know that the
Great Commission was about inclusivity
and about being forward thinking and
liberal, apparently we all miss
that, it's the most underplayed statement
in the whole Bible, I mean don't you know the Great Commission
is giving us instructions to
be a liberal church, that's the case
that he's going to be making soon
he goes back to the Greek, I'll skip
that for sake of time, but he says this
he quotes Matthew 28 18
all authority in heaven
and in earth
that's pretty much everything right
heaven to earth, all authority in heaven and earth
has been given by my father to
me, referring to Jesus
this statement has been reduced simply
to another statement or another verse in the Bible
equated with every other statement
or verse in the Bible
and that is tragic because
Jesus said this
300 plus years
before the Bible was ever
assembled
now this is just nitpicking
at the word Bible
because obviously yeah we didn't have all the
66 books of the Bible compiled
while Jesus Christ was walking
this earth, but the Bible literally
says forever oh Lord
thy word is settled in heaven
and so yes not every single
generation has had all 66
books in one bound
leather cover for them, but every generation
has had the word of God
and when Jesus is speaking the word of God
yes that absolutely is considered
the Bible
he says this, when Jesus made this statement
and Matthew the human
author of the book of Matthew
when Matthew wrote it down, Matthew
wasn't writing the Bible
that's what he said
Matthew was not writing the Bible
he's just documenting
an event, now go to 2 Timothy chapter number 3
what a blasphemous statement
how are you going to stand up
in church and you're reading
from the Bible or at least you're claiming it's a Bible
and then you get up and say
when Matthew wrote this that it's not the Bible
why would you try to confuse people
like that, why are you trying to play
semantics when it comes to the nature of the
word of God, why are you trying to put doubt in
people's mind regarding the scripture
but one thing you have to realize about
false prophets and all false prophets
have this in common is that they
want you to doubt the King James
Bible, they do
they want to use their own opinions, their own
logic, their own ideas to
supersede scripture so they're constantly
yea hath God said
putting that seed of doubt in the
congregation's mind, 2 Timothy 3
16 says all scripture
is given by inspiration of God
was what Matthew
writing down inspired by
God? Yes it was, so you know what that
makes it? Scripture
Matthew
is not simply just recording
an event, he's penning
down the eternal words of God
and to stand up behind
the pulpit and to say that Matthew
28 when Matthew wrote it is not the Bible
is blasphemy against the word of God
it's garbage and needs to be
rejected, now here's
where this statement, this is where it gets really
bad, this is what he said
and your savior, my savior
if you're a Christian, he
claimed to be the ultimate authority
or to put it another way
if you use this language
the Bible says that
Jesus is our ultimate
authority, not
the Bible
exactly, that was
my response too, because this
idiot doesn't even realize that Jesus is the
word of God, but you know what he's doing
he's trying to cause people to doubt the
word of God, he's trying to
lower the authority of scripture
to cause in your mind to think that what
the Bible says is not that important because
after all, Jesus is the
final authority, not the Bible
now there's a couple big problems with that
statement, go to John chapter number 1
John chapter number 1
look at John number, verse 1
in chapter 1, it says in the beginning
was the word, and the
word was with God, and the
word was
God, you can't
separate these things
look at verse number 14
and the word
was made flesh, who became
flesh? The Lord Jesus Christ
and dwelt among us, who dwelt among us?
Jesus Christ, and we beheld
his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the father, full of
grace and truth, look anyone that
knows anything about the Bible knows that
verse 14 is referring to Jesus Christ
and you know what John is teaching us
is that Jesus is the
word of God, so you can't have
this idea where, well Jesus said that
he's the ultimate authority, not
the Bible, hey buddy, these are
the same things
yes, Jesus is the highest authority
because the word of God is the highest
authority, because Jesus is the
word of God, but let me tell you something
this is what a cult looks
like, you know
the new IFB, we've just constantly
been accused over the last decade plus
of being a cult, why?
we get up and say that
this is the final authority
that what this says goes
that if a preacher preaches something that's contrary
to the Bible that's sitting on your lap
that you should believe the Bible and not what the
preacher says, how is that a cult?
meanwhile you got guys like Andy Stanley
who stands up and says hey
here's what I want you to understand, the Bible's not
the final authority, Jesus is
but what does that mean, Andy Stanley?
what does that even mean?
because then you're just going to stand up and just tell us
what Jesus thinks about a subject but not
use the Bible, how does that work?
oh yeah, it sounds like you're a cult leader
and this is what
all new evangelicals are
they are cult leaders
because everyone believes
the doctrine of being something
only, here's what I mean by that
we're King James only
we're eternal words of God
only, these pastors
a lot of them are original manuscripts
only, they say oh yeah
we used to have the word of God
in the original manuscripts, now
we don't so you have to trust me to go back
to the Greek for you and tell you what it really says
or like Andy
Stanley, he would say oh he's just
authority of Jesus only
but yet he can't show us chapters and verses of what
Jesus actually said because now
he's trying to disassociate
the word of God with Jesus Christ, it's ridiculous
this is
a cult
let me give you another quote of his
he says that the Bible infers
if you just take the Bible
as if the Bible had a voice
so he's saying let the Bible speak to you
the Bible proclaims that Jesus, your Savior and King
is your ultimate authority
more importantly, Jesus said that Jesus
is our ultimate authority
and ignoring the implications of this statement
is how church leaders
have gotten by with so much harmful
nonsense
century after century after century
so what is he saying?
he's saying preachers that actually get up
and show what the Bible says
and preach against sin and believe
all the words of God, that's the
harmful nonsense that's been happening
in Christianity through all the centuries
but thank God
Andy Stanley finally explained
to us what the Great Commission is
no one's ever read Matthew 28
before, no one's ever seen
where Jesus said that all power is given to him
and so Andy Stanley
thank you cult leader for figuring it out for us
no, what is he doing?
he's trying to deconstruct
Christianity is what he's doing
he's a false prophet is what he is
he's a wolf in sheep's clothing
yeah he's in a church, yeah he's
standing behind a pulpit, yeah he claims to have the
word of God, but he's literally standing there
trying to get people to not believe
the Bible, that is wicked
as hell
he says this, because somebody like me
because I'm so well acquainted
and well versed in the verses
of the Bible, doesn't sound like it
somebody like me
can use and misuse
apply and misapply the Bible in such a way
that I can justify pretty much
anything you want to do, thanks for
leaking your heart on that, because that's
exactly what you do, just give me
one minute, I'll find you a verse, I'll find you a story
I'll find you an implication
I'll find you a loophole
this is what he's saying, translation
I don't like the Bible
I don't like the words of God
I don't like the doctrines found in the Bible
so let me just try to disassociate
Jesus and the word of God to you so that you
stop believing the Bible
that's what he's doing, Andy Stanley
is standing up in front of thousands of people
and causing them to doubt
their faith in the word of God
go to Colossians chapter number 1
Colossians chapter number 1
you know the evangelicals
Andy Stanley
they have bad doctrine when it comes to
the Bible, they have bad doctrine
when it comes to the word of God
look at Colossians chapter number 1
verse 12
it says, giving thanks unto the Father
which hath made us meet to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in light
who hath delivered us from the power of darkness
and hath translated us into the kingdom
of his dear Son
in whom we have redemption through his blood
even the forgiveness of sins
who is the image of the invisible God
the firstborn of every creature
notice this
for by him were all things created
so notice that in Colossians 1
the Bible tells us
that Jesus Christ
is the creator
now stay there, I want to read for you
I want to read for you Psalm 33 6
it says this
by the word of the Lord
were the heavens made
so in Colossians 1
says that Jesus Christ is the creator
then in Psalm 33 it says
that the word of the Lord is actually what created everything
why is that?
because Jesus is the word of the Lord
and so it's impossible
to ever disassociate Jesus and the Bible
and anyone that wants to have
a derogatory view towards the
King James Bible
anyone that does not have, does not esteem
the words of God very very high
you know what they're doing?
Jesus is very very high
and all these new evangelicals
they want to get up on their soapbox
and tell you how much they love Jesus
and how much they want to be like Jesus
and how important it is that we be
Christ-like and just their church
motto is just like
people, Jesus, love, love
love, love, Jesus
all these just meaningless statements to them
but don't tell me you love Jesus
if you don't love the word of God
he's the creator, the word of the Lord
Jesus is God
and the word of God is Jesus
and look you can't disassociate
these things, these people are actually
blaspheming Jesus Christ when they
blaspheme the Bible
look at verse 17 of Colossians 1
and he is before all things
and by him all things consist
and he is the head of the body
the church who is the beginning
the firstborn from the dead
that in all things he might
have the preeminence
so notice our goal
as Christians would be that Jesus
Christ always has the preeminence
meaning that we would always
esteem Jesus Christ as the number
one most important thing in our lives
and nothing else is even close
how do we do that though?
well it says right there in verse 18
he is the head of the body, the church
the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the head of the church
how is that actually happening
though practically speaking
is Jesus coming down from heaven and he's preaching
sermons to us? no
is he leading the songs? is he your pastor?
no, how is Jesus the head of the church?
this is how
this is how in practice
in reality Jesus Christ
is the authority in the church
when we exalt his words
and we say whatever Jesus said goes
that's actually giving Christ
the preeminence, but you know what today
these modern new evangelical churches
and guys like Andy Stanley
they just want the preeminence for themselves
because they want to knock Jesus
down a few notches so that they
can be the final authority so that people
can listen to them about what God
actually thinks and feels, no
it doesn't matter what any preacher's opinion is
what anyone's feelings is, what matters is what
what matters is what Jesus actually said
what matters is actually what the King James Bible
actually says and by doing that
you give him the preeminence
so number one
he has bad teaching on scripture
number two, Andy Stanley has bad
teaching when it comes to sin
now, he says this
in his same sermon
he says, ignoring the implications of this statement
is how church leaders have gotten by
with so much harmful
nonsense
century after century
after century
let me just translate what he's talking about
Andy Stanley is saying this, and I'll prove it in a minute
he's saying, I love
faggots
and my church is full
of faggots
and I'm a false prophet, so I'm actually worse
than a faggot, so I have to make you
all love faggots
because I'm actually worse than them
so if you don't love them, you're not going to love me
because I'm a false prophet
that's quite an accusation
at the end of last year
in 2023, he hosted his own
conference, and this conference was called
the unconditional
conference
can you take a guess of what that conference is about?
let me read the promo for you
he says, you're invited to the
unconditional conference
this two day premiere event is for parents
of LGBTQ plus
children, any pastor
that actually spells all that out
like you're giving that acronym that much
respect, I'm automatically
suspect of you
why would you even give the acronym that much
respect? you know in a few years
it's probably going to be like 20 letters long anyways
he says
this event is for the parents of LGBTQ plus
children, and for ministry leaders
looking to discover ways to support parents
and LGBTQ plus children
in their churches
you will be equipped, refreshed
and inspired as you hear from leading
communicators on topics that speak to your heart
soul and mind
we deeply desire this time will
bring about healing and restoration
no matter what theological stance you hold
we invite you to listen, reflect and learn
as we approach this topic
from the quieter middle space
this guy literally
hosted a conference
dedicated to facts
dedicated
to the LGBTQ
youth, and to parents
of these sodomites
what does that tell you about Andy Stanley
here's the name, now in these
modern liberal churches they have these things called
breakout sessions
where it's not like a sermon, it's like a mini
sermon, I don't know exactly what you'd call it
this is the name of their breakout sessions
for this conference
the first one, the big reveal
responding to critical moments on the journey
with your LGBTQ
plus child
LGBT, I'm not going to read the LGBT thing anymore
it's too long, I'm just going to cut it down
a little bit
LGBT faith stories
hope and insights for your kids
understanding gender dysphoria
I thought the Bible
said in the beginning God created them male and female
end of story
do we really need to have a seminar
on gender dysphoria
in church? Are you kidding me?
Ministering
to the LGBT youth today
creating a safe environment
without pushing them away from Jesus
they already rejected Jesus
how to have the best relationship
with your LGBTQ
child
God forbid anyone ever have
an LGBT child
but if I ever had an LGBT
child which won't happen because
my kids are going to get saved
I would have no relationship with them
I don't need to listen to some false prophet tell me
hey here's a seminar on how to have a good
relationship with your faggot son
no
what a disgusting abuse of the pulpit
bringing in a bunch of
wolves, a bunch of animals in the house
of God, it's disgusting
this is his, this is a quote from him
he said, gay Christians
choose a same
sex marriage
well at least he got that part right
not because they're convinced it's biblical
they read the same Bible we do
they chose to marry for the same reasons
many of us do
love, companionship, and family
what do you mean family?
these faggots can't have a family
no they didn't choose
being a faggot to have a family
that's not how it works, I'm sorry
at the end
as was the case for all of us
and this is the important thing I want you
to hear me say
it's their decision
so he's just brushing aside
what the Bible says about sodomy
he's just brushing aside the sin of
being a sodomite
and he says, well it's their decision
what if we apply that to any other sin
it's like, hey let's have the
murderers conference
where we just teach you how to help your son
when he's having murderous thoughts
and how to have a great relationship
with your serial killer son
and here's what I want you to understand about murderers
it's their decision
oh shucks, sorry guys
it's just their decision to murder, so it's okay
let's have the rapists conference
well here's what you've got to understand about rapists
ah, it's just, it's their decision
that's just their lifestyle, right?
it's just their decision
I don't care if it's their decision
it's abominable
it's disgusting, it's worthy of death
he says, our decision
is to decide how we respond
to their decision
our decision, as a group of local churches
is, how are we going to respond
to their decisions
we decided 28 years ago
we draw circles, we don't like lines
yeah, sounds like you don't like being straight
sounds like you don't
sounds like you don't like things that are straight
like a line
you want to draw circles
you probably don't underline anything in your Bible
because you don't care about the Bible
like, we draw circles, whatever that even means
we draw big circles
if someone desires to follow Jesus
regardless of their starting point
regardless of their past
regardless of their current circumstances
our message is come and see
and come sit with me
this isn't new, this is who we are
this is who we've always been
and this is why I love our church
oh, I told you this would be painful
how would you like to go to a church
with a pastor saying like, man
we just, we love sodomites so much
and this is why I love our church
I love our church because we love sodomites
ugh
you know, praise God tonight
that you go to Faithful Word Baptist Church
because this is what's happening
in churches in America
and it's not just Andy Stanley
it's the whole new evangelical movement
they all love pedophiles
they all love sodomites
they want to bring them into their church
they want to bring them into the ministry
they want them to be behind the pulpit even
this guy is so bold
in spitting in the face of God
during this conference
he actually had two married
faggots preach at the conference
look
over the last decade
it's bad enough
when we're talking about pastors being so
weak and liberal that they let known sodomites
into the congregation, that's terrible
that's horrible
Andy Stanley's taking it to the next level
he says not only do we just need to
accept them, not only can they just sit in the
pew, not only can they just be the usher
or something like that, no they can actually
stand behind the pulpit and preach
in God's house
disgusting
look, the Bible is filled with
imprecatory prayers
praying against the enemies of God
this is one guy you should put on your imprecatory
prayer list, this guy is blaspheming
Jesus Christ, blaspheming
the house of God, literally
having open sodomites preach at his conference
and this is what he said
about that, and just a quick backstory
these two sodomites, they used to be going
to his church, one was married
to a woman while he was in an
adulterous relationship with a faggot
and Andy Stanley told this guy
hey, you can't serve
in our church while you're committing
adultery, so what you have to do
is you have to divorce your wife
once you divorce your wife and marry the
faggot, then you're welcome to serve in the ministry
that's what's happening at
Andy Stanley's church, this is
his commentary on this situation
he says, this is why
Justin and Brian, I'm sorry if your name's
Justin or Brian, okay, this is why
Justin and Brian were invited
the two married gay men
at the center of all the controversy
and I'm sure you've read all about
that, here's the thing about
Brian and Justin, their stories
and their journeys of growing up in church
and maintaining their faith in Christ
and their commitment to follow Christ
all through their high school and
college and singles and
all up to the time that they were married
their story is
so powerful for parents of
gay kids
that it's a story
gay parents and
kids need to hear
what's in Andy Stanley's heart?
I'm so glad that these sodomites
are preaching because that's what the
kids need to hear in this church
look, that is a reprobate
behind the pulpit right there, someone
that's purposely bringing in sodomites
to preach in his church and he reveals
his heart, why is he so excited about
that? Why? Because I'm so glad
that the kids get to hear from these people
and you better wake up
today and realize that these sodomites are a bunch of
pedophiles and you better wake up and realize
today that a lot of times these false prophets
are also sodomites themselves
and often harboring
sodomites and pedophiles in their church
and it's a front organization a lot
of times where they're pretending to be a church
but really what they're doing is just abusing
poor innocent victims
and look, the Bible says that
many shall follow their what?
pernicious ways
so many kids today are getting harmed
by false prophets
does anyone care in America anymore?
do people just want to
gripe and complain
that a guy like Pastor Anderson actually has the guts
to say what needs to be said about
these freaks and about these sodomites
or are we just going to let the whole country
go to hell, are we going to let
Christianity become synonymous
with Andy Stanley
look, it's not going to happen
I don't care if preachers have to preach against these
new evangelicals every week until Jesus
comes, we're not going to just let
this nation go to hell
without a fight, without calling these
people out as the disgusting
sick, God hating pedophiles
that they are and I promise you this
Andy Stanley when he dies will
split hell wide open
and he will burn for all of eternity
do you see now why?
first he has to de-emphasize
the authority of scripture
because what's coming after that?
he wants to bring faggots into the church
that's what's coming after that
and so red flag number one
I don't care what church you're ever a part of
you may move someday and go to a different church
you start going to a church where the pastor
is whispering in your ear
that the authority of God's word really isn't that important
or he starts to de-emphasize
the words of scripture and wants to elevate
his own thoughts, his own opinions
about the situation that you're in
what you're in is in the beginnings of
or an already established cult
you name any cult that exists
they all de-emphasize scripture and elevate themselves
you know what's a cult out there?
about the Branch Davidians in Waco
in the 1990s
and what did that freak David Koresh
say? he said that he is Jesus Christ
and so his words
were now the authority, not what the Bible says
and look
Andy Stanley may not be that brazen
but he's getting there
and the things that he's doing in church
certainly are as brazen
go to Deuteronomy chapter number 23
Deuteronomy chapter number 23
you want to know why Andy Stanley
doesn't want to emphasize the authority of God's word
to you? because he doesn't want you to know
what God actually thinks about his conference
what God actually thinks about
bringing in Sodomites into the church
that's what the Bible says
Deuteronomy 23 verse 17
there shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel
nor a Sodomite of the sons of Israel
thou shall not bring the hire of a whore
or the price of a dog
into the house of the Lord thy God
for any vow, for even both these are
abomination unto the Lord thy God
according to the Bible you should never ever ever
bring a dog or a sodomite
same thing, they're interchangeable
into the house of God
now if Andy Stanley got up and said
you need to believe every word in the scripture
it's the final authority
well what's he going to do once he gets to this verse?
that's a faggot conference can't he?
and so he has to be a good little cult leader
and de-emphasize scripture
go to John chapter number 10
John chapter number 10
John chapter number 10 verse 11
Jesus said I am the good shepherd
and the good shepherd giveth his life
for the sheep
you know what a good shepherd does?
you know what a good pastor does?
a good pastor actually protects the flock
especially the weak
helpless
defenseless little lambs
children
that's especially the people that pastors
should be defending yet so many
fake pastors today like Andy Stanley
they're not defending those little children
they're actually preying on those little children
they're actually bringing in sodomites to preach
and he's so excited because children
are going to hear what they have to say
verse 13
he that is an hireling and not the shepherd
whose own the sheep are not seeeth the wolf
coming and leaveeth the sheep and fleeth
and the wolf catcheth them
and scattereth the sheep
the hireling fleeth because he is an hireling
and careth not for the sheep
notice what the hireling does?
he sees the wolf
and then he flees
but Andy Stanley is actually worse
than the hireling because he doesn't
just see a wolf and flee
he's not just too cowardly to say something about it
he actually invites the wolf in
now I wonder
what kind of animal would like to be around wolves
oh yeah, maybe other wolves
maybe they want to be in a pack
of wolves, why?
so that they can hunt more effectively
so they can prey on their
victims more efficiently
so not only, he's not just a hireling
no, no, no, he's way worse than a hireling
he's a wolf himself
he wants to devour the sheep
number one, Andy Stanley has a bad teaching
number two, Andy Stanley has bad teaching
on sin
number three, Andy Stanley has bad views
on the new covenant
and some of these are pretty related
the new covenant and some of the things I was talking about with sin
but let me read this quote for you
he says
and as the law of Moses was so ingrained culturally
the apostles had a hard time not mixing and matching
the covenants
we call it the old testament or the old covenant
God's mixing and matching the covenant
his covenant with Israel
the covenant that he made with the entire human race
during that last passover
the problem is
that modern Christians and mostly people
who do what I do
generation after generation
have done the same thing
we mix and match these covenants
the reason it's been so easy to do that
is the way we've received our Bible
because when you receive the Bible you're told
and understandably, I get this
this is the word of God
well as soon as you get a book and you're told it's God's word
it implies that everything in here is equal
everything's equally applicable
everything should be treated the same
and that's just not true
how often is this guy
just going to blaspheme the word of God
he's saying, oh you know
the reason why people are having a hard time
understanding the new covenant
the old testament and the new testament
is because you're given this Bible and you're told that the whole thing's true
how terrible
how awful
look, it's like, man, this is a really easy wolf to spot
I mean, he's just telling you
I don't believe the Bible
I am a wolf
this is what he says
we know as educated people
when I read some of this stuff that God said to Israel
that's just not what God said through Jesus
for us to do
it's different
this is why so many pastors talk way more
about being biblical than being Christ-like
big difference
uh, no it's not, idiot
because Jesus is the word of God
let's go back to point number one
Jesus is the word of God
the word of God is Jesus
so if you're biblical, you are Christ-like
he's saying there's a big difference between being biblical and being Christ-like
why do you want to pit Jesus
against the word of God so much
why do you hate God so much
he says in fact
if you've been hurt by a church
you were hurt by a church that was all about this
being biblical
so terrible, right?
all the churches that are hurting people today are the ones that are really into being biblical
sure
whatever they said to you
whatever they told your mama
he's one of these guys with a really annoying southern accent
the reason they told you
you couldn't come
they teed off this
wow, so to him
all the bad pastors
all the pastors that are hurting people
all the churches that are hurting people today
what are they doing?
they're really focused on being biblical
what are you talking about?
why don't you, Andy Stanley
bringing in pedophiles into your church
and bragging about how the kids are going to listen to it
and you have the gall
to speak against any other pastor
why don't you just sit down
why don't you just go to hell
because you can't even learn anything because you're a reprobate to be honest
but look
there is two extremes when it comes to
you know, mixing the old covenant
and the new covenant
there are the Torah observing Christians out there
that are completely wrong
completely wrong
thinking that we need to still keep the ceremonial laws
in the New Testament
thinking that there are still dietary restrictions
in the New Testament
look, those people are completely wrong
and a lot of times those people will just straight up teach work salvation
that's wrong
then on the other extreme
you have the new evangelicals
where you show them anything in the Old Testament
it's like, oh, Old Testament, I don't want to hear it
it's all done away, none of the Old Testament matters
and as you can see by his attitude
the New Testament too
they're just not as honest about that point
but these people often times
they just don't want to see anything in the Old Testament
look, there's a biblical balance
to be had here
when it comes between the old covenant and the new
go to Matthew chapter number 5
what's the biblical balance here?
well Matthew chapter 5 verse 17 says
think not
this is Jesus speaking
to destroy the law
or the prophets
I am not come to destroy
but to fulfill
so look, Jesus is explicitly saying here
he is not coming on the scene
to destroy the law
he's not coming on the scene
to just get rid of everything that was in the Old Testament
everything that the prophets wrote
no, rather there was things that he needed to fulfill
they fulfill all those things
but look down at verse number 27 in the same chapter
he says this
you have heard that it was said by them of old time
thou shalt not commit adultery
now people said that
but that also was a commandment in the law of God, was it not?
but I say unto you
so Jesus is saying
I'm going to go above this here
that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her
hath committed adultery with her already
in his heart
so did Jesus say
the Old Testament says
forget what Exodus 20 says about adultery
no, he says, yeah, you've heard that
and I'm actually going to raise the bar of righteousness
when it comes to the law of God
yeah, the law of God says
not to commit adultery
but he's saying, I don't even want you to look
at the other gender with lust in your heart
or you've committed adultery with her already in your heart
doesn't sound like Jesus is hating on the law
hating on the Old Testament
no, rather, he's actually elevating it even higher
he's elevating righteousness even higher
go to Romans chapter number 3
Romans chapter number 3
start reading in verse number 28
Romans chapter number 3
let's see if the Apostle Paul had the same attitude as Jesus
therefore we conclude
that a man is justified by faith
without the deeds of the law
salvation is by faith, amen?
verse 29
is he the God of the Jews only?
is he not also of the Gentiles?
is he also seeing it as one God
which shall justify the circumcision by faith
and uncircumcision through faith
do we then make void the law through faith?
what is he saying?
because we're saved by faith
are we just completely voiding out, exing out
trashing the Old Testament, the law
is that what we're going to do?
look what he says
God forbid, yea, we establish the law
he had the same exact attitude
as Jesus Christ
and isn't it funny how today
I believe that salvation is the absolute freest
the people that preach so hard
against repent of your sins
the people that believe strongly that salvation
is by grace, through faith
plus nothing, minus nothing
are the ones that also preach the hardest
against sin
you want to know why that is?
it's called the love of God
because Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments
so since we love Jesus
we don't look at the commandments of God in the Old Testament
and despise those
we don't want to shirk those
we want to speak evil against those
no, rather, we want to do our best to keep those commandments
and of course, all of sin comes short of the glory of God
we're not going to do that perfectly
no one can attain salvation, no one can keep the law
but you know what, we see something in the law
and our heart says, I want to follow that
we don't look at Deuteronomy
where it says not to bring a sodomite into the house of God
and be like, well I really wish in my flesh I could bring faggots in here
no one thinks that
you should tell Pastor Anderson if you feel that way, alright?
no one thinks that
go to Hebrews chapter number 9, Hebrews 9
no, we read that and we're just like
our spirit agrees with that
we're like, yes, no sodomites in the house of God
Hebrews chapter number 9
Hebrews 9 verse 6
now when these things were thus ordained
the priests went always into the first tabernacle accomplishing the service of God
but into the second
went the high priest alone once every year
not without blood
which he offered for himself and for the heirs of the people
the Holy Ghost, this signifying
that the way into the holiest of all
was not yet made manifest
while as the first tabernacle was standing
talking about while the old covenant was in place
which was, notice, a figure
for the time then present
in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices
that could not
make him that did the service perfect
as pertaining to the conscience
what's he saying? hey, the animal sacrifices
they never got you saved
they never got you forgiveness of sins
what were those things? it was a figure
it was a shadow, it was a picture, it was an example
of the coming Lord Jesus Christ
verse 10
which stood only in meats and drinks
and divers washings and cardinal ordinances
so it's telling us all these things
imposed on them
until the time of reformation
the time of reformation
so he's saying, look, the meats and the drinks
the divers washings, the cardinal ordinances
all those things were only there
until what? until the time of reformation
well what is that? look at the next verse
but Christ being come
that's the time of reformation
but Christ being come
and high priest of good things to come
by a greater and more perfect tabernacle
not made with hands
that is to say, not of this building
and it goes on and goes on
but what's the Bible saying here?
saying when it comes to the old and new covenant
there were certain things in the old covenant
that were simply just a picture of Jesus Christ
they weren't moral laws
they weren't thou shalt not kill
there was ceremonial laws
washings, holy days
those type of things were all pictures of Jesus Christ
which is why Jesus said that he has not come
to abolish the law, but he came to fulfill
and all those things, he fulfilled
and those things are done away in the New Testament
look, we don't have to keep the Sabbath anymore
we don't have to observe
the laws regarding diet
we could eat bacon, praise the Lord
we could eat tons of seafood
whatever you want, shell or not
we can eat it in the New Testament
why? because all that stuff was simply a picture
but, did the New Testament
erase all of God's moral laws?
no it did not
go to Exodus chapter 21
and here's what I want to ask
Andy Stanley
here's what I want to ask all these new evangelical
fake preachers
is, what do you really have against
the moral law anyways?
because when I see the moral law
I find it to be very reasonable
and to be things that are very good for society
for example, Exodus 21 verse 16
and he that stealeth a man
and selleth him
or if he be found in his hand
he be put to death
you know, I'm glad that God
doesn't condone of human trafficking
hey, what don't you like about this verse?
you want human trafficking to go on?
you think it's okay
for people to be bought and sold as slaves?
what's the problem with Exodus 21?
Andy Stanley?
I think this is great
you can turn with me if you want
otherwise I could just read these
Exodus 22 verse 19
whosoever lieth with a beast
shall surely be put to death
I mean, who's reading that and just being like
oh, that's terrible
man, we really should be allowed to do that
in the new covenant, no normal person
is doing that, folks
every normal person is just like
yeah, didn't even think that God needed
to say that, like
yeah, we don't want that in our world
of course
oh, how love I thy law
Psalm 119 says, I'm like, yeah, I like that law
okay, Exodus 20
Exodus 20
verse 13
thou shalt not kill
now tell me, Andy Stanley
what's so bad about that law?
hey, what's so bad, liberal preacher
about thou shalt not kill?
you just want people being killed?
you think this is okay in the New Testament?
murder?
oh yeah, they do, actually
because a lot of them think that abortion's fine
a lot of them think that it's a woman's right to choose
and so don't
never mind what the Bible says
never mind, thou shalt not kill
it's whatever the pastor says
it's whatever his opinion is
I like Exodus 20, 13
Leviticus 18, 6
says, none of you shall approach
to any that is near of kin to him
to uncover their nakedness
I am the Lord
hey, I'm glad that God is not for incest
you know, do all these southern
preachers have something to tell us?
you do not like that law, Andy Stanley?
what's wrong with God being
against incest?
I'm glad that's still the case
I'm glad that Jesus didn't abolish that
Leviticus 19, 13
thou shalt not defraud
thy neighbor
what's wrong with laws against defrauding someone?
neither rob him
is robbing someone cool in the
New Testament now?
the wages of him that is hired
shall not abide with thee all night until the morning?
Jesus is just cool with fraud now
I guess that's why Jesus came to die on the cross
was to free us from the
terrible, terrible Old Testament
which says that we shouldn't defraud people
and that people shouldn't lie with animals
and that people shouldn't sell
other human beings
and says that people shouldn't kill other people
I mean, that was just really terrible oppressive laws
wasn't it?
It's insanity
Leviticus 19, 14
thou shalt not curse the deaf
the stumbling block before the blind
but shalt fear thy God
I am the Lord
the Bible says don't be cursing deaf people
don't be putting stumbling blocks in front of blind people
well, it's the New Testament now, so after church
let's all go curse some deaf people
and trip some blind people, huh? Who's with me?
no one thinks that
no one's reading this verse and being like
oh man, that's terrible, I wish that wasn't the case
okay, Leviticus 19, 18
thou shalt not avenge
nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people
but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself
I am the Lord
hey, I like that, I like that law
I like that God commands us to love our neighbor
and that's one of the very few things
that new evangelical preachers pretend
to like
but really, they don't like it, you know why?
because Romans 13 says that love is
the fulfilling of the law
so you hate the law
you hate the law being fulfilled, then you don't have love
you don't even understand what love is
loving thy neighbor as thyself
loving thy neighbor as thyself is not sinning against your neighbor
Leviticus 20, 10
and the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife
even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife
the adulterer and the adulteress
shall surely be put to death
hey, I think that's a good law
I think that law is against adultery
protect society
I think that our country is being destroyed
by the fact that there's so much adultery going on
so much infidelity going on
and as a result, so much divorce going on in our country
man, would to God we would get back to this law
and get the home
secured again in America
so all those laws
I mean, we've read all those laws, they're all good
they're all just complete common sense
you read those, you're just like, yes, I love this
okay, well let's apply that to the very
next one I'm going to read here
Leviticus 20, 13
if a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman
both of them have committed an abomination
they shall surely be put to death
their blood shall be upon them
no one's going to make the argument
that Jesus is cool with incest
Jesus is cool with murder
Jesus is cool with cursing deaf people
and tripping blind people
Jesus is cool with seeing
the nakedness of your near kin
but, but Leviticus 20, 13
oh yeah, yeah, Jesus came to die
on the cross, so that faggots
cannot get the death penalty, but rather they could actually
come to church, and yea, even preach behind the pulpit
this is not Christianity, folks
this is a false religion
these new evangelicals, they don't believe
the same Jesus that we believe in
and they tell you as such
this is the Jesus I believe in, the word of God
they tell you they don't believe in that same Jesus
it's a complete false religion
number one, he has bad teaching on
scripture
number two, he has bad teaching on sin
number three, he has bad teaching on
the old and the new covenant
number four, he has bad teaching on the
old and the new covenant
number four, he has a bad view on church
he has a bad view on church
let me read another
quote for you
I warn you these
quotes are tough
he says, this brings me
finally to what actually breaks my heart
and why I'm so grateful for you
the church always
gravitates toward insiders
the people who know the deal, they know the songs
they know the verses, you got it
they're all down, their lives are all
buttoned up and perfect, first of all
no one's life is buttoned up and perfect
no one's arguing that church
is for perfect people
every single person in this room is a sinner, including myself
and no one tries to pretend it's any other way
so you could just
knock this straw man down
he says, the focus of the church
naturally gravitates toward insiders
rather than people who are outside the faith
so almost 29 years ago
we were part of a movement
to reverse that
and to change that
so when I say this guy is a deconstructionist
he's just telling you
I want to reverse what Christianity has always been
I want to change what the mission of the church
has always been
now, today
Andy Stanley is part of a church movement
known as the seeker sensitive movement
whereas, where we read in Matthew 28
how we're supposed to preach the gospel
to every creature
we're supposed to go reach them
we're supposed to baptize them
then we're supposed to teach them all things whatsoever
Christ has commanded
and he'll be with us always, even to the end of the earth
amen, their view is not like that
they don't go out and reach the lost
they don't believe in soul winning
they don't go door to door and preach the gospel to every creature
what they do
is they completely erase the last part
of the great commission
which is teaching all things whatsoever Christ has commanded
and they, in their minds, think that their church
is now evangelical
that's why they call themselves evangelicals
because their whole service is geared towards
unsaved people coming to church
and supposedly getting saved
but here's the thing, we're the true evangelicals
when you think about it
why? because we're evangelistic
we go out and evangelize
we preach people the gospel
then we bring them to church
then we baptize them, then we teach them
all things whatsoever Christ has commanded
that is the model
that Jesus Christ himself gave us
and for someone who says, oh, all power's been given to Jesus
not the Bible
well, the very text
that you're basing your entire sermon on
debunks your church model
the seeker sensitive model
is not biblical
we should not trim back the teaching of God's word
just because an unsaved person may walk through these doors
look, if an unsaved person walks through these doors
you know what happens?
someone goes and preaches them the gospel after the service
and then they're saved
and then they have the Holy Spirit living inside of them
the Holy Spirit can lead them and guide them to all truth
and they can read their Bible
they can walk in the Spirit
they can start to grow as a Christian
they'll understand more of the preaching
Pastor Anderson will give them the meat of the word
and they'll grow as Christians
you want to know why no one grows in these churches?
because nothing's being preached
there's no milk being given
there's no meat being given
there's nothing being given
what are they doing?
it's a rock and roll concert
it's a video game show
it's a video game contest
it's a 15 minute motivational speech
it's having faggots preach to kids
that's what the new evangelical movement has become
so he has a bad view on church
go to Ephesians chapter number 4
Ephesians 4
Ephesians chapter 4 verse 11
and he, Jesus
gave some apostles and some prophets
and some evangelists
and some pastors and teachers
you know, God has given
different men in the
sphere of the church and in our lives
that have different roles
you know, there's pastors, there's the office of a deacon
there's the office of an evangelist
there's no such thing as an apostle today
that was something that was only at the very beginning of the New Testament
but God has given us all these people
as tools, as great resources
in our lives. Why?
for the perfecting of the saints
for the work of the ministry
for the edifying of who?
the body of Christ
the Bible is saying, why do pastors even exist?
why do preachers exist?
why do we have missionaries? why do we have deacons?
it's for God's people
it's for the saved, it's a gift
unto the saved, to minister unto them
to help them to grow, to serve them
that's what church is
church is about reaching the lost outside
of these walls, then bringing them in
to the saved people
and teaching them and growing them
and preaching them the word of God
skip down to verse 14
that we henceforth be no more children
tossed to and fro
and carried about with every wind of doctrine
you know, if someone doesn't have
a saved pastor
or a saved preacher
preaching them the word of God
and especially if they themselves are unsaved
you know what they're going to be doing?
they're going to be tossed to and fro
and they're going to become so liberal
America has forsaken so many of the doctrines
that we've believed for so long
why is that? it's because of the pastors of America
it's because of the preachers of America
the church is still the heartbeat
of our country
and it's so sad because so many churches
now are so terrible
and as a result people's minds are being
warped by false doctrine
by lies, they're being tossed to and fro
with every wind of doctrine
why? because they don't have a shepherd behind the pulpit
the wolf behind the pulpit
and it's going to take sermons like this
it's going to take a lot more sermons like this
to wake up this country
to the absolute crap that this new evangelical movement is
it's a joke
it's not Christianity
I have zero respect for it whatsoever
here's the part of his sermon
that I really liked
the only part that I liked
he said this
I'm going to break his heart
he says, unfortunately much of that progress
that you are a part of creating in other churches
not just us
much of that progress is being
undermined and reversed like crazy
right now
praise God
I hope your stupid progress
of teaching that Jesus isn't the word of God
I hope that your progress
of blaspheming the Bible
bringing in a bunch of liberalism and false doctrine
and faggots literally into your church
reversed and undermined like crazy
yeah, I hope that's happening on a mass scale
you know, and praise God
for the Gen Z generation
because you go online and Gen Z's
man, do they hate homos
I don't believe these statistics
that say, oh, one in four
Gen Z identifies as LGBT
no, not the ones I talk to
I'm Gen Z by the way
so here we go
he says
with all the political nonsense in the last few years
it has picked up speed like crazy
and here's what happened
the people fueling it are conservative
and I'm theologically conservative
okay
he says I'm even politically conservative
but this whole thing has been fueled
by conservative
fearful fundamentalists
hey, everyone give a round of applause for the fundamentalists
in America
yeah, Pastor Anderson
yeah, Pastor Shelley
yeah, these guys that are undermining
the fake Christianity
that you've infected our country with
yeah, praise God that they're undermining your movement
oh, that discourages you
well, that was my favorite part of your sermon, buddy
I was cheering
when I heard that part of the sermon
thank God
churches, church leaders are resurrecting
old barriers
that we spent years tearing down
they're adding new barriers
you know, praise God for some barriers
we need to put some barriers
back in America
we need to put some boundaries back in America
here's an example of a rule we need
here's another quote for him
in the same sermon, he says
I'll give you a quick example
this is why he's so sad
one of the two people who really launched this movement
way back in the late 70s is Rick Warren
before he wrote The Purpose Driven Life
he wrote The Purpose Driven Church
the book sold millions of copies
to pastors
and it was a book about how to create a church
for unchurched people
I mean, he inspired so many of us, right?
to help get this church back on mission
he's a modern church reformer, there's no way around it
last year his denomination
kicked him out of the denomination
for something immoral?
no
for something illegal? no
for something with money? no
because he had an addiction? no
none of that, none of the glamorous stuff
they kicked him out because he had the nerve to ordain
three female staff members who were functioning as pastors
hey, round of applause for all the pastors
that get fired for ordaining women preachers
yes, fire them!
fire all of them
because hey, we need some boundaries
back in America
here's a boundary
the pulpit right here is for men only
the church is not to be led by women
that's a boundary that's always existed
throughout all of human history
and it's a boundary that's been torn down recently
in America and that boundary needs to be put
back up
he says this, he says
well before I go there, let me read for you 1 Timothy 2.11
it says, let the women learn in silence
with all subjection
but I suffer not a woman to teach
nor to usurp authority over the man
but to be in silence, look that's not my opinion
I'm simply reading the Bible
the Bible teaches that men are to be in charge
here's a boundary that we need, hey Kamala Harris
you're not running for president sister
because guess what, you're a woman
and you should not be in a position of authority
and that's a boundary that we need back in our country
in the pulpit, that's a boundary we need back
in political office too
that no woman should ever ever ever ever ever ever
ever be elected
I don't care how conservative she pretends to be
no one should ever vote for a woman for any reason
Republican or Democrat
he says this, he says
this is the messaging now
this is what he's so sad about
he says, they're saying this
that you can't be a Christian and be a Democrat
so sad
he says you can't possibly be a true Christian if you're a Democrat
which is absolutely absurd
now here's the thing
of course someone could call themselves a Democrat
and they're unsaved
and they get saved
they haven't grown in the Lord yet
they haven't read the Bible
so a lot of their opinions and a lot of their views on life
hasn't changed because they don't know any better
but here's the thing
if someone's saved and has the Holy Spirit of God in them
and they actually understand
that Democrats are promoting child mutilation
chopping up children's parts
and ruining them for the rest of their life
if someone actually understands
oh abortion isn't just a club of cells
that's actually human life that's being murdered
that's being shredded and ripped apart in the room
yeah, you can't be right with God and believe those things buddy
you better believe that
of course you can't be some Democrat
that holds to all those views
and be a Christian that's right with God
absolutely not
but that's what discourages him
so the abortion doesn't discourage him
the women pastors don't discourage him
what discourages him is
preachers that have the guts to say anything about it
go to hell Andy Stanley
the Bible says this
these six things that the Lord hates
yea, seven are an abomination unto him
a proud look, a lying tongue
and hands that shed innocent blood
God hates
God hates the shedding of innocent blood
of course you can't sit here and promote
the shedding of innocent blood
and think that God will be pleased with you
it's ridiculous
go back to 2 Peter chapter number 2
I'll have two more verses for you and we'll close here
2 Peter chapter number 2
you know in the beginning of this sermon I told you that
yeah this sermon is about Andy Stanley
but it's about a lot more than Andy Stanley
because Andy Stanley is a type
of what? a false prophet
and a false prophet that's very
very common now in America
the new evangelical
now I'm sure there's a handful of them that are saved
but I can promise you this, Andy Stanley is not saved
this guy is wicked as hell
but here's the thing, 2 Peter 2 verse 1 says
but there are also false prophets
also among the people
even as there shall be false teachers among you
who privilege shall bring in damnable heresies
even denying the Lord
we saw him do that
that bought them and bring upon themselves
swift destruction and many shall
follow their pernicious ways
you know maybe you're new
to church, maybe you're recently
saved and you're thinking why would you
be so mean to this one guy
why would you say these harsh things
remember this verse in verse 2
many shall follow their pernicious ways
these false prophets are hurting
people and let me tell you what
the guy that has a conference called the unconditional
conference where he brings in a bunch of sodomites
I guarantee you there's going to be children
that will be hurt in his church
as a result of his preaching
as a result of his conference
and look, I care about those people
and preachers that actually have the guts
to call out false prophets
like Andy Stanley, we're the ones that actually
have love in our heart for these
innocent children that are
getting destroyed and for these
lost souls that are in their church
that don't know if they died today that they'd go to heaven
they don't know the Bible way to heaven
they don't know what the Bible says about anything
and they're not going to check it because
they're preachers telling them that the Bible doesn't really matter
what matters is what Jesus says
realize that they're harming people
and realize this too
it says by reason of whom the way of truth
shall be evil spoken of
you know, you as a Christian
you should be very jealous
for the Lord Jesus Christ
you should keep him in your heart
and keep the words of God in your heart
and when someone blasphemes Jesus
or talks ill of his word
or just puts his word on a lower level
that should make you upset
and when someone causes
the truth to be evil spoken of
that should make you mad
and you should want to defend him
we need to stand up for Jesus
like the great song says
stand up, stand up for Jesus
what does that look like today?
is that just a song that we sing?
let me tell you what standing up for Jesus is
it's when you stand up for every word of God
it's when you stand up for the parts
that people don't like anymore
it's when you stand up for the parts
that are politically incorrect
it's when you stand up for the parts
that pastors like Andy Stanley are telling you don't matter
and shouldn't even be in the Bible anymore
that's what standing up for Jesus looks like
let me read this last verse for you
Mark 8 38
and he cometh in the glory of his father
with the holy angels
I am not ashamed of the words of Jesus Christ today
I know your pastor is not ashamed
of the words of Jesus Christ
I know this church is not ashamed of the words of God
you know what?
Jesus is not ashamed of us
you know who Jesus is ashamed of?
Jesus is ashamed of the Christian
that listens to Andy Stanley
Jesus is ashamed of the Christian
that believes the crap that Andy Stanley teaches
let us today
stand up for Jesus
and not be ashamed
of him and of his words
let's have a word of prayer
Lord thank you so much for this day
thank you for Faith Word Baptist Church
and Pastor Anderson and the great leadership
that he's provided over the years
I just pray that all of us
would be steadfast in our hearts
that we would never be ashamed
of the words of God
but we would just preach it from the housetop
and that we would support men of God
thank you for this conference
and the words that have been preached throughout
I just pray that you bring Pastor Anderson safely back
to this pulpit, please bless him
in Jesus' name we pray, Amen
