All right, at this time the ushers are going to pass around the offering place and while
they're passing the offering place around, please turn your Bibles to Genesis chapter
Genesis 39 the Bible reads and Joseph was brought down to Egypt and Potiphar and
officer of Pharaoh captain of the guard in Egyptian bought him of the hands of
the Ishmaelites which had brought him down nether and Lord was with Joseph and
he was a prosperous man is he was in the house of this his master the Egyptian
and his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all that he
did to prosper in his hand and Joseph found grace in his sight and he served
all that he had he put into his hand and it came to pass from the time that he had made
him overseer in his house and overall that he had that the Lord blessed the Egyptians
house for Joseph's sake and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in his
house and in the field.
and he left all that he had in Joseph's hand,
and he knew not ought he had,
save the bread which he did eat.
And Joseph was a goodly person and well-favored.
And it came to pass after these things
that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph,
and she said, lie with me.
But he refused and said unto his master's wife,
Behold, my master wadeth not what is with me in the house,
and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand.
There is none greater in this house than I.
Neither hath he kept back anything from me,
but thee, because thou art his wife.
How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?
And it came to pass as she spake to Joseph day by day that he harken not unto her
to lie by her or to be with her.
And it came to pass about this time that Joseph went into the house to do his business
and there was none of the men of the house there within.
And she caught him by his garment saying, lie with me.
And he left his garment in her hand and fled and got him out.
And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and was fled forth,
that she called unto the men of her house and spake unto them, saying,
See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us.
He came in unto me to lie with me and I cried with a loud voice.
And it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried,
that he left his garment with me and fled and got him out.
And she laid up his garment by her until his Lord came home.
And she spake unto him, according to these words, saying,
The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us,
came in unto me to mock me.
And it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried
that he left his garment with me and fled out.
and it came to pass when his master heard the words of his wife which he spake unto him saying
after this manner did thy servant to me that his wrath was kindled and joseph's master took him
and put him into the prison a place where the king's prisoners were bound and he was there in the
prison but the lord was with joseph and showed him mercy and gave him favor in the sight of the
keeper of the prison and the keeper of the prison committed to joseph's hands all the prisoners
that were in the prison and whatsoever they did there he was the doer of it
The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand because the Lord was with him
and that which he did the Lord made it to prosper.
Dear Lord, thank you for faithful Baptist Church Lord. I pray that you'd help us all to
love one another more and to love the loss in this world and I pray that you'd fill brothers
Amen. Give me one second.
I'm gonna try to do something I haven't ever done before,
and that's try to preach without an energy drink in my body, amen.
Forgot to get one, so I'm gonna do my best.
Let's see if it's all natural, if I'm artificial all the way, right?
So...
Let's just cover what pastor is obviously doing.
Pastor's on a recon right now.
I got a missions trip coming up in March,
and it's gonna be the ones that we've been talking about.
The cruise ship missions is what we're gonna be doing
in March right now.
There's about 19 of us going.
And so praise the Lord,
the guy has provided the funds to pay for all 19 of us.
You know, it took me a while to get everybody's plane tickets.
So I'm sorry, I know that I was gonna get it done Monday,
but I finally got it done today.
So everybody, if you're going, you should have your flight info, all text to you,
and if not, come see me, and I'll make sure you have it, amen.
But he's on a different cruise, just seeing how it all works
so he can help me have the best trip when it's time for us to go.
And so that's what he's trying to become an expert on these cruise missions trips
because they absolutely make sense, amen.
They're very affordable.
They provide a place for you to be able to stay.
They give you all you can eat.
It sounds like a Baptist cruise ship for sure.
And the cell winning has to be good.
We're going to the Bahamas,
so we'll be having four stops in the Bahamas in March,
and then we plan to do another one.
Brother Ramon's gonna run another one
probably in the summertime,
and we're trying to get one going in Spanish countries.
So if you speak Espanyol, very fluent,
you're invited as well.
Just kind of like a...
quick seed that I'm planting.
So we're looking at that to see if we can go on a cruise
that's maybe about 10 days in the Spanish-speaking countries
and anybody who obviously speaks Spanish.
We will love your help to help us win as many souls
as possible, amen.
So if you have your Bibles right there in Genesis chapter 39,
go ahead and go to verse number seven.
It's a story of Joseph when Joseph was tested and he had to decide whether I'm going to
do wrong, whether I'm going to do right, and it says that he came to pass after these things
that his master, master's wife, cast her eyes upon Joseph and she said, lie with me.
So this woman is trying to commit adultery with Joseph and you can always go read the
entire story later on if you want.
I'm just going to focus on these three verses, but Joseph refused.
And he said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master what is not, what is with me in
the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.
There is none greater in this house than I, neither hath he kept back anything from me,
but thee, because thou art his wife.
and sin against God.
So Joseph understood that adultery is a great sin.
It is great wickedness against God.
And if I were to say, how was he able
to overcome this temptation?
How was he able to have quote unquote success
in this moment of being tried?
It's because I believe Joseph feared the Lord.
And if you have the Bible, go to Genesis 42.6.
Genesis 42.6, and the title of my sermon tonight
is My Biggest Fear.
My biggest fear, go ahead and keep going to Genesis 42.
So tonight I kind of want to preach on fear.
And fear is a human emotion.
Fear is something that we all have.
There's different things that we fear.
For example, a lot of people fear failure.
Some people fear underperforming or not achieving their goals.
So they never tell anybody what their goals are.
You know, not that it's a good or bad thing,
but some people just don't want to put themselves out there
because they're afraid to fail.
Other people, they fear rejection.
Some people fear being left out, ignored, or not liked.
That's why a lot of times, people do the easy thing,
or they try to impress someone by doing something stupid or wicked
just because they're afraid that they're not going to get liked
if they don't participate in whatever act they're participating in.
Obviously, the fear of death is a big one.
There's a lot of people out there that don't know what happens when you die.
You know, there's also the fear of not being good enough.
Some people fear not being successful financially
or not being able to find a job.
And of course, the fear of the unknown.
Some people fear not knowing what's going to happen next.
As a perfect example, I got this email
and this email came in on January 4th
and this email is from a guy named Tom.
And I'm not sure who this guy really is,
but this is how the email starts.
It says, this is my idea to rid the world of nuclear weapons.
So I thought he accidentally emailed us.
I'm like, nuclear weapons, what the heck?
You know so I keep reading I'm a 55 year old liberal from San Francisco Bay Area
That has worked for Apple Computer under Steve Jobs in the early 2000s
I have been paying attention to your preaching for quite some time. So he's a sycophant
He's a guy that doesn't like us, but just listens to us and I'm pretty sure he has some kind of motive behind
Whatever the heck he's up to so he's been listening to us
So he decides to email us because I've been working here for what seven years maybe less
I don't know, but I never had this guy emailed before but apparently he's been listening to us
He said I will have to say that you remind me of Adolf Hitler
He's not talking about me because I'm brown. All right. He's talking about pastor Anderson
In case you haven't figured out who he's emailing,
he's not emailing me, he's emailing Pastor Anderson.
You are too stupid to come up with the idea below.
You are a stupid little kid who has studied the Bible
and thinks he knows everything.
I have studied the Bible also,
and I don't hate Barack Obama.
I voted for him and cried when he became president.
Barack Obama's trying to save the world from nuclear annihilation.
What are you doing to save the world?
And then he gives me this long list of stuff he's going to be up to or whatever.
So, you know, I committed sin.
The Bible says not to speak in the ears of a fool for he was the spice that was some of your words.
So I'm just going to confess my sins tonight.
I emailed this fool and I said, I understand where you are coming from.
But I must address your email with clarity and truth from the prophecies in the Bible
to speak about nuclear weapons.
Why not?
First, the Bible says in Zechariah 14-12, and this shall be the plague wherewith the
Lord will smite all the people they have fought against Jerusalem.
Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume
away in their holes, and their tongues shall consume away in their mouth.
And if you haven't, don't watch it, alright?
It ain't worth poisoning your brain.
This verse graphically describes the devastating effects of a nuclear blast,
which aligns with what we know about the consequences of nuclear weapons.
The imagery of flesh, eyes, and tongue, consuming away, perfectly matches the effects of atomic blasts,
and a mistakeable sign of what will come in the end times.
In Revelation 18, it says standing afar off for the fear of her torment,
saying alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city, for in one hour is that judgment come.
Only a nuclear weapon could destroy a nation of this magnitude in a single hour!
What other weapons has this capability? If you have an answer, I'm waiting!
Revelation 18,
From one hour so great riches have come to naught,
Every shipmaster in all the company and ships and sailors,
And as many as trade by seas stood afar off,
and they cast dust in her heads and cry weeping and wailing saying alas alas that great city
wherein were made rich all they had ships in the sea by reason of her constantness for one hour
she has made desolate and if you have no idea what i'm talking about hey look up pastor Anderson's
revelation series and look up evelyn usa look up after the tribulation and it'll help you out
so i'm just trying to help this person out sort of kind of emailing them this stuff
And basically, I just told them, listen, eternal life is far more important to any political
figure or worldly concern.
John 3.16, I put it in the email, you guys know what it says, without salvation to Jesus
Christ you are destined for hell, a little place described in the Bible, regardless of
what happens to the world around you.
Instead of mocking and arguing, I urge you to repent of your unbelief and believe the
gospel.
This is the only way to escape eternal punishment in the prophecies, in the prophesied nuclear
devastation outlined in the Bible.
Yada yada yada, watch this documentary if you want to know more and that's what I put down in the email and I said this
I hope you take this warning seriously as it comes from a genuine concern for yourselves and seriously brothers to grow
Well, he emailed back. I watched the documentary film that you told me to watch. Yeah, right
Your church and your pastor Stephen Anderson is paranoid, delusional, conspiracy theories
that interpret the Bible such a way that your church predicts the destruction of America
one hour because of the judgment of God.
Your church predicts that America will be destroyed by nuclear weapons and America, the great
Babylon will never be inhabited again.
This is a very dangerous thinking because Christians like the ones in your church believe
the nuclear war cannot be avoided.
I am glad that conservative Christians like you are not in control of nuclear weapons.
Clearly, this guy is tripping.
Clearly, this guy is afraid.
Clearly, he's out of his mind.
And he's worrying about something that, biblically,
you cannot stop.
There's nothing you can do about it, buddy.
Hey, a nuclear holocaust is coming to a country near you.
Amen?
And why is my sermon called,
My biggest fear because I'm gonna tell you what my biggest fear is it ain't nuclear weapons and ain't failing
It ain't whatever your fear is my biggest fear for this year
My biggest fear is that I don't fear God enough
That's my biggest fear. I don't care about the persecution that you guys see online
Which I don't even consider a persecution. No one's gonna come kill you everybody's talking smack people still trying to destroy our church
They're still at it mocking us mocking our pastor
Talking smack not that I care, but when I go and I go live on our live stream. Hey, they pop up
So I'm like, what are these clowns doing now?
Just mocking us making fun of us. I don't know. Maybe they're trying to just have people hate us
I don't know, but I'm not afraid of anything. They're doing. I'm not afraid of that Andrew Looza
Whatever the heck that guy's doing
I'm not afraid of that guy loser.
Is he married yet?
Does he have a girl or is he like reprobating now or what's going on with that dude?
But I'm going to tell you something.
If I'm going to focus on something, I'm going to focus on fairing the Lord, on fairing God,
amen?
And I'm just talking about the worst, fair God together.
They appear ten times in the Bible, six in the Old Testament, four in the New Testament.
And why is it important to fear God?
Here's one of the reasons.
One of the reasons I recommend I'm telling you you got to be a person I mean think about if God's looking at you
Well, he will he be able to say to the angels in heaven. Hey, you know, I'm sorry, brother Johnson
I just happen to see you brother Johnson that guy fears God
You know brother such and such that person fears God
Do you think God, if he would look down from heaven and look at you, would he be able to
say that about you?
I hope so, because your life literally depends on it.
Now we know God is long suffering, he'll suffer a long time with RBS, but hey, God's
patient will run out.
And if you don't get right, hey, he's going to help you.
Hey, and I'd rather just humble myself than to get humbled by God.
But one of the reasons why we must be people that fear God
It's because it's going to help us to do the right thing as we just saw in Genesis. Amen
And once again, what happened in Genesis? Hey, it's what it is. You know, Joseph says hey, I can't do this great sin
This great wickedness. I don't want to sin against God. Why?
Well, this isn't like the greatest verse, but it is there.
It is in the Bible.
I told you to go, I believe, to Genesis chapter number 42.
You know, for the sake of time, go to me in verse number 10.
Actually, let's go a little faster because I need to wrap this up as soon as I can.
Let's go to verse number 17.
where Joseph's already messing with his brothers.
He pretends he doesn't know what they're saying.
He's using an interpreter.
The brothers come to Egypt, he recognizes them,
they don't recognize him, he decides to mess with them,
but queues them of being spies.
He ends up locking them up for three days
and then it goes to see him after three days.
And this is what he says.
He says when they heard that, I'm sorry, verse 17.
He put them all together into war three days and Joseph said on to them the third day this doing live for I fear
God and I don't think he's joking
I think that's the reason why he didn't commit adultery and also believe that's the reason he didn't do his brothers hurt
After what they did to him
I think the fact that he knew that, hey, if I go after them, God's going to come down
on me.
Hey, I'm not going to do it.
And guess what?
I'm pretty sure it was hard for him not to go a little bit further besides locking him
up and maybe torturing him a little bit to kind of get him back for what they did to
him.
But the fact that he feared God is why he only locked him up and the punishment wasn't
severe.
Go ahead and go to Acts chapter number five.
But we see this throughout Scripture. We see this in the Old Testament, New Testament, people that claim,
hey, I fear God, and because of that they're able to do hard things.
If you can get an X5 grade, if not, don't worry about it. I'm just gonna start reading from verse number 30.
It says, the God of our fathers raised up Jesus from his slough and hanged in a tree.
Verse number 31 him have God exalted with his right hand to be a prince and a savior
For to give repentance to Israel forgiveness of sins and we are witnesses of these things and
So it's also the Holy Ghost whom God has given to them that obey him
And when they heard that they were cut to the heart and took counsel to slay them
But this is talking about the apostles the apostles are preaching and of course they're being threatened
They're being commanded by the Pharisees to not to preach about Jesus Christ
And we knew that these guys were serious, the ones that were persecuted in the apostles,
because you see later on that they went from threatening them, commanding them not to preach
Jesus Christ to literally saying, hey, let's figure out a way to kill these individuals.
They're going through something very, very hard.
But obviously before that, we have the famous verse where Peter and the other apostles answered
these guys when they were commanding them not to preach about Jesus Christ.
Why? Because they fear God rather than men, and they were able to do something extremely
hard. They are facing death. They already faced jail time. They're already being threatened.
But they came and they said, hey, listen, we're going to obey God, you know, rather than men.
So do what you want. But why did they do that? Because they had a strong fear of God, and
they would ever have success. Amen?
Go to Jonah chapter number one.
Obviously, other people we can mention is David and Goliath.
I'm pretty sure he went after Goliath
because he already had enough faith in the Lord
to believe that the Lord would protect him and help him.
But I can't help but think that David obviously,
besides having faith, also feared God tremendously.
He feared God more than Goliath
and he was able to defeat Goliath
and he had to justify Goliath.
Everybody else did it.
And we know that Moses is another example of somebody that fared God, especially when God turned his head into leprosy,
because he kept saying, I don't want to go, send someone else.
You know, I can't talk, I can barely walk or whatever.
He's old, he's probably 80 something.
So it was what it was, God's like, okay,
you know, let me see your hand,
turns it into leprosy, put it back in there,
take it out, fixes it up.
Hey, that will give me the feeling real quick.
One second, my hand's fine.
The next second is leprosy, oh, what the heck?
The next second, whoa, it's back to normal.
Hey, I think it's best to listen to God
and do what he tells you, amen?
So, the more you hear the word of God, the more you see how God is, the more you'll grow
that fear that God commands us all to have and we'll get into that later.
But another example, somebody that was obviously greatly used by God, and that's my second
point, you know, my first point is that you need the fear of God.
You need the fear of God in order for you to be able to do the right thing, no matter
how tough it is.
Without it, you're going to fall into sin.
You can take it to the bank when you see people fall into sin, you're like, man, what
happened?
It's non-existent in some people. You're like, man, how could they say or do those things? Fear of God is gone
They've lost it and it will suffer for it
But take heed let's we fall let's we lose that fear
Let's we start to think you know something that obviously is not biblical and we start following our heart
Which is the sea for above all things
But the second reason why we have to have that fear of God
And because it is what it is, you know, you need to have it if you want to be used greatly
by God, right there in Jonah, which is going to start from verse number five for the sake
of time.
I'm hoping to finish up in about 30 minutes, no more than an hour, obviously.
But we can see here with Jonah, you know Jonah says something very interesting when obviously at this point
He decides I'm gonna go to the other place now. We're got told me to go he gets in a boat
Hey, the winds are tearing it up, you know, everybody on the boat gets scared. Hopefully that doesn't happen on our cruise. Amen
But even if it does hey, I'll be fine because I'm just gonna say what Jonah said. Hey, I am a Hebrew and I fear God
I'm just kidding
But if it comes down to a
Yes, it's dangerous. Yes, it's a fearful situation
But everybody but Jonah, you know was freaking out and I wonder why cuz Jonah knew what was going on
And at that point, the wind, the storm, the water,
everybody panicking, probably wasn't affecting him much.
Why?
Because yes, those things are fearful to go through.
But hey, in his own words, this is what Jonah said,
and he said unto them, after they ask him,
what is that occupation, and when it's coming down,
and what is that country, and of what people are down?
And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord.
And that is actually the,
the words I said, but it's the same thing.
He fears God, I fear the Lord, and the God of heaven,
which I've made to see in a dry land.
Go ahead and go to Job chapter number one.
So we see that Job obviously is one of the guys that went through something horrible, but he didn't quit
He continued to serve God. We saw that Jonah Jonah went through some trials
He was told to do something difficult, but at the end he got it done
It wasn't perfect that all I remind us all that a you don't have to be perfect
And what a healthy dose of fearing God you can get a lot accomplished like Jonah did amen
And it says, And the Lord said unto Satan, Has thou considered my servant Job that there
is none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, one that feareth God?
Making it very clear.
He feared God.
Job was a man that feared God, and he was evil.
Then Satan answered the Lord and said, Does Job fear God for naught?
And that was one of the reasons he was able to succeed.
Not the only reason, because you saw right there
that he hated evil and he stayed away from it.
But it's amazing how this is what God said about Job.
Upright man, so it's not just about fearing God,
but we're focusing on fearing God tonight.
He makes it very clear he was a perfect man, upright man.
He did the right thing.
He was known for being a righteous person.
And God said himself, wonder fear of God.
Does that sound like something you want God
to say about you?
I know I do.
And that's my biggest fear.
Like, what's your biggest fear?
I mean, what do you think is gonna happen
with Trump and all these different people?
Because I just went and got a haircut
and the lady that caught my hair,
she's freaking out about Trump.
And not necessarily for herself,
but she's like, man, I don't know
what Trump's gonna be up to.
I got relatives that they've been here for 30 years,
they've been paying taxes for 30 years,
but the government refute,
they don't have a criminal record,
they came here to work,
they're doing their best to be American citizens,
but the government just doesn't wanna give them anything.
They take their taxes, and yes, that is possible.
I know someone, a relative as well, who she had a tax ID number,
and she got taxed on everything she made.
But, hey, they never gave her papers, it's just how it was.
And they were here since age six, it's not like they crossed themselves, hey, which is that situation.
I'm sure a lot of people in this country had that situation where they get brought here with little children,
they go to high school, in fact, I heard, I don't know what high school it was,
but what do you call it, the valedictorian, the main person, the nerdy of the nerds, I guess, whatever you want to call it.
As you can tell, I was never one.
But one had a speech and she was here without papers
You guys hear about that one
And I was like really wow
But they Trump's going to give it up 10 million immigrants. So she's panicking for her relatives. I don't know. Hopefully nothing crazy happens
I'm just sitting there like a my biggest fear is fear in God
That's what I worry about more than anything. Why because like I said, these are the things you're going to need one to be able to
Do the hard things in life
When you want to quit you better fear God because you know what's gonna happen read Jonah. Hurry up and read it
You don't want to end up like him by saying no starting to quit starting to disobey. You don't want to go that route
And obviously besides that
If you want to be greatly used by God you have to be somebody that fears them and this isn't something new
Let me just read from Acts
It talks about Cornelius.
He wasn't even saved.
It just says Cornelius was a centurion, a just man, and one that fear of God, and of
good report among all the nations of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to sin
for thee into his house and to hear words of thee.
It's amazing how this isn't even something as Christian you can say.
It's just common sense.
For example, Exodus.
This is Jethro.
Moses' father-in-law, he's giving them advice, and he says this, hey, you need some help.
Go get some people, go get some men to help you out.
You know, you're doing too much.
It says, moreover thou shall provide
out of all the people, able men, such as fair God,
men of truth, head and covetousness,
and place us over them to be rulers of thousands
and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties,
rulers of tens.
Go to Psalms 128-1.
So, so far you can see that, hey, if you want God.
You know to help you to do the hard things you have to be a man that fears him
And I don't say if you focus on fear in God and like I said my biggest fears that I don't fear God enough
I'm like man. I got a I got a I mean if I'm gonna be known for something
I guess that's one thing I want to be known for I don't even know if it's possible to be the most God-fearing person on the planet
But somebody probably is at this moment and I hope that guy continues to keep it up
Lord help that guy to stay the most fearful person on the planet
Because it's a good thing. It's something that will help you because guess what?
Yes, things can't get ugly, but don't worry about what such a such a says they're gonna do or this person says they're gonna do
Or that person says that they're gonna do this do that
It's like I don't worry about any of that my biggest fear is that I don't fear God enough
I need to just worry about fearing God and guess what he promised that he's gonna bless me your own Psalms 128
Psalms 128-1, so to quickly review,
hey, my biggest fear is not fearing God enough.
Why is he good to fear God?
Because it's gonna help you do the hard things.
Why is he good to fear God?
Because that's what good looks like.
God looks at that, you know,
to see who he's gonna use in a mighty way.
He's looking to see like Job,
hey, who fears me?
Who's a God-fearing individual?
That's the person I'm gonna use.
And if you want to be used by God, you want to do great things for God.
And trust me, if you're here on a Wednesday night, I don't need to ask you,
you want to do big things for God.
I mean, I don't know how many people are in here right now,
but it looks like at least 150, maybe 180.
You know, you guys are all here on a Wednesday night,
maybe because your God pastor was going to come,
but hey, hate that it's about you, right?
But I highly thought that's the only reason you show up a I show up because I love listening to pastor Anderson
But also want to please God also want to tell God a God
I want to be used by you and I want to learn the word as much as I can and I want to obey you
You know as much as I can and hopefully he uses me to do something big before I die
Because let's face it everybody wants to do something big before they go
We want to save as many souls as we can, and we want to do something big for Him, but it
is what it is.
Fearing God is one of the things you must have if you want to be used great by God, amen?
And the other thing as well, like I just said, if you want to be blessed, you have to be
known as the person that fears God.
Let's take a look at Psalms 128-1.
It says, Blessed is everyone that what?
Feareth the Lord. Let's keep reading because obviously it's not just fearing God being afraid of God
Yes, we understand you have to please God and without faith it's impossible to please them
But also obviously obeying his commandments. So let's keep looking. I just want to point out very clearly
That's the first thing on the list. So guess what start working on that if you're not that individual that fears God
And then we'll talk about how do you know if you're fearing God and how we can start to fear God?
Blessed is everyone that faireth the Lord, that walketh in his ways, for thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands.
Happy shall that be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, by the size of thine house.
Thy children like olive plants, round about thy table. Behold, that thou shalt the man be blessed, that faireth the Lord.
Look at it, it says it again. The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion, and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
Now I shall see thy children's children and peace upon Israel.
Go to Proverbs 28, 14.
I'll read from Proverbs, actually go to Psalms 34.
Just go to Psalms 34, sorry about that.
You guys are in Proverbs, I know it's a lot easier
to go to Psalms than Matthew,
so just go ahead and back up a little bit,
go to Psalms 34, meet me there.
I'm gonna read from Proverbs 28, 14.
It says,
But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief."
And that's the problem with Christians today.
They start hardening their hearts.
They stop listening like they should.
They stop taking counsel.
They start following their own little heart.
And then we wonder, why is this person such an idiot?
That's why.
I mean, let me repeat it.
But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
So you can take it to the bank. Why are these people acting this way? They harden their hearts. They're prideful
That's what they say and do what they do, but the person that fears God is a humble person
That's the person that's truly happy
Not the arrogant and prideful person that tells you how happy they are. Look at me. Look how happy I am
No, man, I know what the Bible says. Sorry if I'm gonna trust one is gonna be the Bible
But Psalms 34 even continues to talk about this says the angel of the Lord
These are the blessings obviously you see that happiness is one of the blessings from fairing God
The other blessing is protection.
The angel of the Lord and kept at the round,
bought them that fear him and delivered them.
O taste and see that the Lord is good.
Blessed is the man that trusts in him
or fear the Lord, ye his saints,
for there is no one to them that fear him.
The young lions do lack and suffer hunger,
but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
Go to Matthew six, go to Matthew six,
meet me in verse number 25.
Go to Matthew six, verse number 25.
In fact, just head on over to 33.
So I just want to show you in Psalms 34, it teaches the same thing as Matthew 6, 33.
Just a reminder, Psalms 34 says that there is no one to them that fear Him.
One way to miss out on life is to stop fearing God.
You will miss out.
It's clear.
It says, hey, there's no one to them.
The young lions do lack itself a hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
That reminds me of Matthew 6.33, it says,
but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
But let's take a look at Matthew 6.25.
Before Matthew 6.33, you know, it starts at Matthew 6.25, and it's all about fear.
And this is what Jesus is teaching.
Therefore, I say unto you, take no thought for your life while ye shall eat.
or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body,
what ye shall put on, it's not life more than meat,
and a body than raiment, behold the fowls of the air,
for they so not neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father
feedeth them, are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking Thou can add
one cuban unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment,
consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow, the toy not, and the other do the spin,
and yet I stand to you, that even Solomon,
and all his glory was not already like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so close the grass of the field,
which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven,
so shall he not much more close ye,
oh ye of little faith.
Take therefore no thoughts saying,
what shall we eat, or what shall we drink,
or what shall shall we be closed for?
for after all these things that a Gentile seeks
for your heavenly Father, know it,
that you have need of all these things.
And we just read, number 33,
by seek you first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,
all things shall be added unto you.
So overall, what is Jesus saying?
Hey, don't be afraid, stop being so afraid.
Don't worry about these things.
Don't worry about the food, the raiment, all these things.
Hey, you seek me, I'm gonna make sure you have them.
I'm gonna provide for you.
No good things shall I behold to them that walk up rightly.
If you're gonna worry about something,
worry about fearing who?
Him.
Go ahead and go to Proverbs 3.17.
So let me just quickly review.
You must be a person that knows how to fear God, that fears God.
It will help you do the right thing, especially when it's tough.
It would help you be used by God if you want to do something big for God.
You have to be a man that fears the Lord, that fears God, and it also is what you need.
You must have it to be blessed.
And Proverbs 23-17 says this,
Let not thy heart envy sinners,
but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.
So number four, just want to say that,
hey, even if God didn't bless you,
even if God, you know, didn't look for somebody
who feared him in order to use them at the bare minimum,
it's something we should do because it's commandment.
It says, let not thy heart envy sinners,
but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.
So it's clear that it's a commandment for us to fear God so my biggest fear this year is that I don't fear God enough
I want to fear God as much as I guess you can say humanly possible
Why once again because it's gonna help me do the right thing especially when it's tough
It's gonna help me to be used by God
It's gonna bring blessings upon my life to be somebody that fears God and decides I'm not gonna sing because I know God will
Punish me. I know he can hurt me
In Matthew 10, 28, once again, it's a commandment.
If you're not then, we'll kill the body,
but not able to kill the soul.
If you're not then, we'll kill the soul.
If you're not then, we'll kill the body,
If you're not then, we'll kill the soul.
If you're not then, we'll kill the body,
but not able to kill the soul.
If you're not then, we'll kill the soul.
If you're not then, we'll kill the body,
Envy sinners and then we see in Psalm 73 far was envious at the foolish
Hey, that's the difference between somebody who is fearing God and somebody who's not do you envy the wicked?
Do you desire to have what they have?
Do you look at the people that the world considers to be awesome?
Amazing the rock stars the movie stars the rappers whatever TV shows
I mean are these people people that you strive to be like that you kind of desire to be like you need to stop doing that
Because that's envy in the wicked and we shouldn't
But even in Galatians it says that we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Let us not be desirous of vain glory provoking one another and being one another.
Now let me stop there.
This is Paul writing to the church of Galatia and we already saw in Proverbs 2317 that says,
Let not your heart envy who?
Sinners.
And Psalms that makes it clear that this person says, For I was envious at the foolish.
And not just that, we see in Galatians, it says,
hey, let us not envy one another.
So what am I getting at?
We need to be careful that we envy one another
and be provoke one another.
This isn't provoking people to do something good.
This is just provoking people for whatever reason.
And it says that, hey, we shouldn't be desires
of being glory provoking one another, envying one another.
And if I were to think of someone
who does this a lot, I would have to say,
hey, maybe I'm wrong for speaking about him and his wife,
but hey, they came up on my radar this morning
while setting up the YouTube stream
by McMurtrain and his wife.
This is who I think of when I read this verse.
What they do, they're trying to provoke us.
And why?
I can't help but think it's probably
because they envy us.
That's what I think.
And guess what, it's not just the wicked that we need to be careful, it's also envying
each other that we need to be careful.
If you start doing that, you don't have the fear of God, because that's what it says
up here, lend out your heart and be sinners, but instead of envying people, be in the fear
of the Lord, not some of the day, all the day long, all the day long.
wisdom. That's something you guys should know, but here's the thing. When I was
listening to McMurtry just mocking and just making fun of us and just trying
to provoke us to probably respond, who knows why he's doing it? I can't imagine
that it's just him doing it out of a pure heart, out of a righteous heart. All I
can tell you is that he's doing it probably out of envy. He probably sees
something that pastor has and he wants that. He wants to basically make himself
look good by making him look bad.
similar like a Bible character named Saul because I sometimes wondered and I did wonder and then the Bible revealed it to me right away
I was wondering man, why are these people like constantly on us like yeah
We talk about them, but it's mostly to correct them to expose them, you know
But it seems like hey, I'm done with them. I barely even think about them
But then all of a sudden I'm like what the heck is he up to now another video that he made about us
It's like what in the world is up with this guy
He took the time to make this video, edit it, played three different characters.
You know, and I'm thinking, man, what is up with this?
Why is there an enemy continually?
And then I read the Bible where it says the saw became David's enemy continually.
Why?
Because he feared him.
And what does Proverbs 23-17 say?
You become an envious person and that's what happened with Saul.
He started envying David.
Look what they're saying about David.
They're saying that I, you know, killed thousands, but David killed 10,000s.
So one way to figure out whether you're in the fear of the Lord or whether a person that fears God,
is are you an envious person? Are you envying anyone?
And from that point it says that Saul became David's enemy continually because he feared him.
So it was envies of him and he feared him.
Instead of fearing the Lord, guess what he ended up doing? Fearing man.
And that will make you a wicked person.
And that'll make you a stupid person too.
Because hey, if you don't have the fear of the Lord, he's not going to bless you with wisdom.
And so I'm like, alright, whatever, since Mrs. McMurphy video came up,
I'm like, I'm cleaning the building, let me send it to what she has to say.
And so I did, you know, I started listening to the last video she posted like two days ago
And she's crying about how people don't like her
And she's like, I don't know why these pastors and these churches like are afraid of me, you know
Well, I'm gonna tell you one person was not afraid of you. It's me. I don't worry about you
My biggest fear is not Cassandra McMurtry
or pastor make mercury, my biggest fear is not fear
and God enough.
That's what I focus on the most.
Not wondering why don't people like me,
I can figure it out if I read the Bible,
it'll reveal it to me.
But that's one thing I could think of this woman
and she's like, I just don't see why people are afraid of me.
She's really puffed up like her husband.
Like she thinks she's the star of the show like we're like we're all like man
She's like our enemy she like enemy number one or something
And then she's like wondering,
no, let me just tell you guys who I am.
Let me tell you my beliefs out there.
And then at the end you guys decide whether I'm such a danger
you know, to churches that pastors are literally.
And I don't know, but let me just make it clear.
If there's a church out there that's telling people
not to listen to Cassandra McMurtry,
I don't think it's this one
cause I never heard pastor say that to anybody.
He's never said that to me.
And I could care less if my wife wants to listen
to Mrs. McMurtry.
I think she's wasting her time.
But I'm like, dang babe, after you clean, after you cook, after you take care of the kids, after you take them to Jiu-Jitsu,
if you got like enough time to waste and you want to just brain rot your brain or something, yeah, go ahead.
You know, just want to just like relax and you let your brain go or whatever, like no real value,
it's just kind of like whatever, better than a worldly movie, yeah, watch whatever she has to say.
It was like fine, it's like you're gonna probably get the same amount of wisdom out of it.
So I started listening.
And I'm just like, is this woman like this insane in real life?
Because, I mean, I listened to a video like a long time ago.
And then from that point, I just stopped listening to this woman because she was full of flattery.
And it was the video where she interviewed a pastor and Mrs. Anderson.
She starts asking him questions.
And one of the things that she kept saying, and I brought this up to my wife,
I'm like, Cassandra, I don't even know much about her.
But this woman just is the most flattery. She just loves to flatter.
And I literally told my wife,
I bet you she's gonna become our enemy down the road.
Because this is what she kept saying.
She kept asking questions,
just almost like embarrassing questions.
Like, these aren't appropriate questions.
You know, like, which one of you guys
is the most romantic one?
Like, really?
She really wanted to know.
And so of course, at least they agreed.
Ms. Anderson is like, oh, it's him.
It's past her.
And past her like, yeah, that would be me.
And she's like, oh, she's like, oh, they're so cute.
You guys are just like us.
She kept saying it, just like us.
Where's Kendrick Lamar when you need him?
You'll not like us. You'll not like us. You'll not like us.
Do you remember that, Mrs. Anderson?
Hate to put you on the spot.
But if you think online, go watch it and waste your time.
If you got time to kill, you know, on a toilet or something,
you kind of want to see if I'm lying.
You know like you got time to kill you like want to watch something that's like whatever she said that so many times
Oh, you guys are just like us just like us and I'm thinking no, they're not no, they're not no, they're not
It's like they're not like you but they're just like us like what are you trying to like just lie to people or whatever?
And here's perfect example
She basically was talking about this what I believe and you guys decide whether you think that I'm this bad and what she said was
extremely bad
Extremely bad. Let me tell you what she starts off by doing. She starts off by saying that hey
There's churches out there that are afraid of me. They literally tell the people not to listen to me
And I wonder why why am I such a danger to these churches?
You know because obviously it's only like maybe a handful now it's either first words Baptist or faithful word Baptist
She's acting like we're always like bringing her up like don't listen to this woman
You know she's dangerous and she like well
I wonder what they're afraid of me just because I'm against abuse and blah blah blah and then she doesn't say well
Let me tell you what I believe and let me do the other side where there's that bad first thing
She starts telling us and she's telling us that there's ladies and these churches that are emailing her
Telling her about their abusive relationship or something like that
And they're basically just using some kind of secret email emailing her so they can't find out who they are because they're afraid of the pastor and the people and the husband or whatever.
And so they're like, I just want to let you know that I listen to you in the past and stop listening to you. But now I'm listening to you more against my husband's will.
And she didn't correct that. She didn't take the humble approach was like, hey, listen, if your husband says not to listen to me, obey your husband. Don't listen to me.
She's like, oh, yeah, well, you know what screw your husband screw what he says because she didn't say oh my husband
You know I'm saying it's telling me
That it's okay to listen to you know
She's she's saying that there's ladies from these churches that are secretly
Emailing her that she has hundreds of emails, but she's not gonna say who it is because she's not like that
But she's basically telling people hey, you know what if you want to listen. Thank you for listening to me screw what your husband says
I'm telling you right now it wasn't like hey me and my husband we go to this church and we love listening to you
But we can't really tell anyone because we feel like they're gonna persecute us
It wasn't like that. It's like hey, I just want to let you know that I used to listen to you
I stopped listening to you, but now I'm listening to you again
But I have to do in a secret because they keep telling me not to listen to you. Who's the day her husband?
You think that's right for her to do that she didn't correct this woman
And you may think Brezegar is not that bad.
Okay, then the next one, surprise me,
I didn't realize that Cassandra is about birth control.
I don't know if you guys knew about that.
Not the hormonal junk, but she believes in birth control.
She believes it's okay for the natural whatever to decide, okay, you know what, this is the
time when I'm the most fruitful, let's not have a relationship during those days.
Let's focus on these other days where there's a least chance of me getting pregnant because
oh yeah, you know, if the woman needs to recover or if too many kids are going to drive her
crazy, you guys might want to take that route.
That's not what the Bible says.
And I'm sorry, but when I got married, sorry, babe, but yeah, your body, my choice, for life.
And the Bible said that the wife is not allowed to say no without consent.
And this is the thing that a consender is like, no.
You know, it's like, if your body needs recovery time, you tell your husband anytime it's up to you through the moments.
I don't care if he's in the mood.
I don't care if he wants to right there and then.
No, forget it.
No, not happening.
It's for the sake of the woman.
No, I don't buy that whatsoever.
Because God is the one that open and closes the womb,
Cassandra, and that's basic Bible.
And of course she wants to like earn cool points by saying I've been safe since age four
I can save it age four look at my fruit look what I produce
You know I'm someone you should listen to when flat out she starts a little podcast by saying hey
You want to listen to me who cares what your husband say you listen to me all right?
She didn't rebuke the people emailing her saying hey if your husband doesn't want you to listen to me
You need to do what your husband tells you plus the Bible is out there. You really don't need me
I'm just doing this because I got extra time which she doesn't she says that even in her podcast
So does I'm going crazy. What the heck are you doing on a podcast then?
Go take care of your business at home and
Then she goes and she starts talking about spanking teenagers
Don't spank your teenagers. Well wonder why we recommend our wives don't listen to you Cassandra
Because you start out by telling our wives it's okay to disobey us, just do it in secret.
You know, because what I have to say is it's worth your husband finding out and being pissed at you for disobeying him,
because we're so scared of her and what she has to say.
Nah, I don't care. Hey, I recommend you go listen to her latest video. Who's seen it so far?
I recommend you all go listen to it and tell me if I'm crazy with the kind of crap that she's saying.
Babe homework assignment watch her entire 55 minute video tonight. All right, you watch it
No going to bed until you watch it
All right, let's all make sure it has a thousand views by tomorrow
Let's get to that
Because we're so afraid of her that we're like telling people don't listen to this woman and then she's like well
I don't understand why they are so afraid of me
It's not that we're afraid of you is that you say stupid stuff
You're literally starting out your video by telling us how many women are emailing you that hey
They don't care if their husbands are telling them not to listen to you
They're gonna listen to you secretly keep keep it up girl. We support you girl. She didn't rebuke any of these ladies
It would have been us. It would have been like a listen if your husband doesn't want you to listen to me
Don't listen to me. You obey your husband. That's the right way to have a marriage. He's in charge
All right, you know, but if your husband wants to sit down and watch it. Hey, go for it. Whatever she didn't do that
Second thing is like oh, I believe in in birth control not not the hormonal stuff, but this kind this kind is okay
No kind is okay
And yeah, you can hit me how my wife almost died.
Listen, God knows.
God knows your body better than anyone does.
Even yourself.
If God wants your body to be healed up,
he's going to make sure it gets healed up.
And yes, ladies in the Bible, God pregnant, and guess what?
They died during childbirth.
Regenesis, you'll figure it out.
But that woman, they didn't do anything wrong.
You can't be like, oh, well, if I died,
then it's because I was being stupid.
No, God is the one to open and close the womb.
It's basic Bible.
But then let's get to the teenagers where she said I don't I don't recommend you spank your teenagers
By that time if your teenagers are so rebellious, you screwed up you messed up, you know, just like that's what I believe
Hmm. Well, you know what? She lives in a picture-perfect world
But let me tell you right now that my mom spanked me and my brothers when we were teenagers because we're really bad teenagers
My dad got locked up. He's in a Mexican prison for trafficking drugs with a cartel
Then all she's left is with four kids in the San Francisco Bay area one of the most expensive places to live
She just didn't give up. She just said okay. I gotta find more work ended up getting like three jobs at one time
And guess what one day my brother hopefully my brother ain't listening to this one my brothers
I'm not gonna say who it is was busted by my mom smoking weed
Guess what she did she grabbed them by the hair started yelling at him took her chancla off and let him have it
She let this bad boy have it and guess what when I saw that I'm like oh snap I'm out
because I didn't want to be next and
It was just her she had to be the mom and the dad
And not only that, I disobeyed her one time.
I stayed at my friends Armando's house a little too long.
She like be here by nine.
I'm like nine o'clock.
I stayed here by 10.
Next thing you know, who's screaming outside the house?
Screaming my name.
My mom.
Cristo!
Guess what happens next?
Yo, bro, your mom's outside, bro.
I was like, no way, she is, bro.
I'm like, oh, so guess what?
As soon as she got out, guess what she did?
Grabbing by the ear, takes off the chunk
and starts giving me the chunk in front of my friends.
I must have been 16 at the time.
And at that point, we didn't mess around with moms.
We're like, no, we're good.
Not because we couldn't take her,
but because we knew she would do it in front of everybody.
And I'm going to tell you right now,
my brother did not smoke weed after he got whooped
the first time it was over.
Maybe he did but I don't think so
And she was ready and one time I come home and she's like oh, so you like to smoke weed, huh?
I'm like whoa, whoa, what do you mean? I know no, I've never and I've never smoked weed in my life
I'm like what are you talking about cuz I knew what she was getting ready to do is give me a good one
I'm like no hold up
Stand by and tell them, what do you mean, I don't smoke weed.
She's like, I know, I know, but I didn't realize that Marco smoked weed.
I didn't realize that Pablo smoked weed.
I'm like, Mom, how do you know they smoked weed?
Well, it just so happened that we were at a football field in high school, the practice field.
And yeah, I was hanging out with a bunch of idiots smoking weed.
I didn't smoke it, but they were smoking it up.
You know, it was during lunchtime, they're all smoking weed at the practice field.
Well, I did notice that there were some guys working on the trees.
They were working on the tree lines.
Well, guess what? One of them knew my mom.
One of them was in a tree, trimming it, watching me the entire time.
And guess what he did? He called my mom and said,
Hey, your boy's over here hanging out with a bunch of people smoking weed just to let you know.
And he's like, OK, I'll talk to him when he comes home.
Had I smoked the joint, oh, I would have got the chancla like massively more than my brother did.
But what kind of dumb advice is that?
I'm telling you in a picture little world, yeah, yeah, it may work with those kids, but
I'm telling you we would have gotten a lot more trouble had my mom gotten that advice
from Mrs. McMurtry.
Don't spank your kids. You're already screwed up. Hey, those kids are teenagers now. It's too little too late
No, trust me
My brother probably would have been a drug dealer if my mom didn't embarrass them ground by the hair and started
Smacking them and hitting them because we knew we said we punch her or fight back
She's gonna call the cops and none of us wanted to go with those gang bangers in juvie
We knew we knew that was coming
So it's enough where we knew age if we hit her in any way. She's gonna call a cop. She ain't messing around
We're gonna get locked up tonight, and they're gonna put us with the other thugs that are really crazy
You know cuz we weren't gangster like that. I did not want anything to do with those juvie kids
Those juvie's kids were bad. They were bringing guns to school like ankle monitors the whole thing. I'm like, no, I'm good
I'm not about to get locked up with them. What do you want me to do mom? You know, so yeah
That's how she kept us in check and she had four of us and I was the second oldest
The oldest oldest didn't get in much trouble,
but the third one was the worst one,
and he had to get in more than the rest of us.
But once you get her as a teenager and know she's serious
and she'll come find you if you don't come home in time,
I didn't want that embarrassment anymore.
But if she were to follow Mrs. MacMurphy's advice,
I'd probably be locked up as well.
I probably would've took it further.
Knowing that mom doesn't care,
she ain't gonna describe to me,
it's like, no, bad, dumb advice.
And come on that's even the dumbest advice when you see people that are literally not I mean
What does the Bible command if you have a child and he doesn't listen to you after you chastise him?
He doesn't want to listen you take him to the elder say this is our son. He's a drunkard
He doesn't want to work. He doesn't listen to us. Hey, guess what after you chastise him
This is a grown man. Probably who knows a guy a young man who knows?
But how could you read that scripture and then give that dumb advice?
It's just ridiculous and yeah, I don't spend my teenagers, but hey, they want to test me. Hey, come test me
You know I ain't gonna hesitate
But I love my kids. I think I'm really blessed with the best kids on the planet
But I'm sure everybody feels the same way, you know
But then she talks about how she goes nuts sometimes at the house because the kids don't listen to her
I mean that was just bad advice the whole thing about like yeah, you know what if your husband doesn't want you to listen
You keep listening who are they to tell you not to listen? That's bad advice. That's teaching your your your
That you're teaching her to be disobedient at the bare minimum
Second thing is birth control regardless of what you feel a God open and closes the womb is basic Bible
Hey, if your wife gets pregnant, don't worry about it.
You know, God will take care of it.
I mean, she's like, oh, because I had three kids
in three years, we had three kids in three years.
Where's my son, Chris?
Over there, 17 years old, where's Ace?
16 years old, where's Sagan?
15 years old.
My wife survived, she was fine, my mercury.
I don't know how old was the next one when it came out.
Who's next? Who's next? How old are you? 13, right? Okay, finally we figured it out
But it was from advice from Mrs. A just to let you know because my wife was in breastfeeding. She was pumping
We didn't know until we heard it from her then we're like, whoa, I think this is what we're doing wrong next time
You know what to do guess what two years after each one
So Cassandra doesn't want to confess that she must have done something wrong
But even if she didn't and that's what God wanted worked out just fine
And if I can see them better, they're like jujitsu partners.
They help each other win medals all the time, amen.
What if they're two years apart?
What would've been a little bit more difficult?
I'm glad that they're pretty close together.
Maybe they're not, but I am.
But that wouldn't have been possible if I listened to her.
And I'm like, well, you know, if your wife doesn't really
feel like having a kid, you know, anytime soon,
this is a way you can do it the Christian way.
And don't even get me started.
She believes in Christian separation.
Christian separation, i.e. y'all need to separate, she lives there, she lives there, well you know what?
Maybe I shouldn't say this.
But listen, Mrs. McMurtry, I don't know what world you're living in, but let me help you live in a real world.
Yeah, telling these couples, whoever they are, Christian separation.
Oh, you're having a hard time. You guys need to separate. You know what?
That may work for you, McMurtry, and you, Mrs. McMurtry, because Mrs. McMurtry, I mean,
I don't know in the back hills, wherever you're from, you're probably like an Alabama 7.
But in the real world, you're probably like a two or three or four, in other words, you're not that attractive, you're just not.
I'm just being honest with this woman, at least she fixed the eyebrows back in the day, they were like, back here.
She had like red teeth, she had like the red teeth part of her eyebrows.
And when I saw that, I'm like, man, this woman looks whack, how do you think she's gonna write mine?
And that plus the flattery is like, I don't think I'll ever listen to this woman ever again.
She's trying to preach the law, doesn't understand the law.
But yeah, you, your husband with his booty chin and his old butt and his big old head.
Yeah, there ain't going to be too many girls going after him if y'all separate.
But let me explain something to you.
Not everyone's an Alabama 7.
You understand what I'm saying?
If some girls go looking, let me tell you what's going to happen with this Christian separation.
Pastor Mike Ray, the pastor of Hopewell Baptist Church in Napa Valley, had this issue.
a young couple. They were having problems. They were young. They were having problems.
But this was a good looking couple. So guess what happened? They decided to try this Christian
separation. You know what happened? All these dogs in his Baptist church started going after
her, wanting to go so many with her, giving her a shoulder to cry. Guess what they were
trying to do? They were trying to steal her because she was better looking than Mrs. McMurtry.
That's what's going to happen in the real world
Now I'm not going to make fun of Christians about things that they can change if you notice
I'm not attacking anything that she can't change God made her the way she is God made her an Alabama 7, you know
That's what God wanted
Booty chamber and mercury little manlet
You know with a body of a 13 year old trying to act all tough and manly just mouths off to people
You know, because he knows that, hey, we fear God, and we're not going to knock him out.
If he were to say something in front of my face, we'd just keep his straight arm, man.
You're just talking whatever.
But you know darn well that if it weren't for the fear of God, he'd probably get in
some physical altercations with a bunch of crazy individuals.
If he were to talk to them the way he makes fun of other people.
But at the end of the day, that's some serious, bad advice.
Christian separation, are you kidding me?
Pastor Mike Gray got so mad, he yelled at all the men during the service.
He's like, and he pointed them out, he's like, you men trying to flirt with this young lady
over here who's trying to fix her marriage, you know what, same on you, same on you.
And he says, and if anybody ends up marrying this woman, I'm telling you, the day you die,
I'm going to do your funeral and I'm going to spit in your grave.
That's what he said to these guys that were trying to hit on this lady that was doing Christian separation
No, y'all need to talk if there's problems
That's the best way to fix it communication get it going the worst thing is separating
Especially if your wife is good-looking guess what's gonna happen Pharaoh's gonna come get her
And you better hope that God steps in and he cuts his pharaoh to give her back without even ever touching her
More bad advice from Mr. McMurtry. Hey, you want to listen to me? You go ahead and do so
Who are they to tell you what to do? Hey, you know what? You want to spend your teenagers bad idea?
I don't spend your teenagers
You know what you don't want you don't want to have a baby soon because you just don't feel like you're in the best shape possible
Whatever the kids may be
You know what, there's ways to do it, Christian style.
If you have any problems with your marriage,
y'all may have to do Christian separation.
Stupid idea after stupid idea after stupid idea.
And then she wonders, why do Christians hate me?
Why do these churches hate me?
We don't hate you, Mrs. McMurphy.
We hate what you say.
Because I'll give you the benefit of the doubt
that you're saved that you got saved at age four or whatever.
I'll give your husband the benefit of the doubt
that he's saved that he's just an idiot.
But I'm going to tell you right now, I do doubt your guys in salvation.
I just do.
You guys hang around a bunch of idiots like Tyler Baker, who has proven to be a heretic,
a oneness heretic, false prophet, and then you give them respect and you bring them on
your show and you call them pastor and this and that and whatever.
And some of the stuff you say and do drives me completely nuts.
Because why?
Because I don't think they fear God.
I just, I don't think they do.
Or God will give them the wisdom to figure this whole thing out and not give stupid
advice on your stupid little show just 55 minutes long.
But that was like the worst.
Like how is this woman not seeing that,
hey, this is the kind of stuff
that we don't like our wives to hear
because it's bad advice.
You're going to ruin people.
Think about it, my wife or my mom
wouldn't listen to the advice about not spanking teenagers.
Trust me, my brother would have kept on smoking weed,
probably got into worse sins,
but we knew that she was serious.
The minute he got the chancla,
it's like, oh man, I'm good with that.
You just gotta understand that the Bible doesn't say
until they turn whatever.
That's her speaking her mind.
And she needs to stop because it's dumb.
She's making herself look dumb and Pastor MacMurphy doesn't give a crap that she looks dumb because he probably believes the same dumb stuff
So we're doing our best to teach you guys
You know what the truth is, but at the end of the day, how do you know if you're fearing God?
Here's how the fear of the Lord's to hate evil pride
Ereconcy and the evil way in the forward mouth. What's a forward mouth a disobedient mouth?
Helping people be disobedient is not what God wants
That's not somebody that's fearing the Lord. That's the opposite
She wants to be smart. Hey, counsel is my sound wisdom. I am understanding a half strength
But me kings reign princes decree justice by me princes rule nobles even all the judges
I love them to love me and those that seek me early shall find me
I don't believe these people are seeking God early at all
Just listen to our historical video. She's very prideful. She's very arrogant and these things as a Lord. Hey, yeah, seven abomination
Proud look a lying tongue hands that shed innocent blood a heart of divisive wicked imaginations
Feed that be swift to run into mischief and false-winded to speak of lies. He does so with the scored among brethren
If anything, we don't like your show Mrs. McMurder because you guys are constantly like it says right there sewing the scored among brethren
Why I always let your husband make that stupid video mocking our pastor
And then she's like, give me for the haters,
y'all gotta admit this is funny.
It ain't funny whatsoever.
You're making it seem like Pastor Anderson
cannot get along with pre-tribbers.
If you guys don't know what I'm talking about,
just go check this little spirit of prophecy video.
He made a video just mocking our pastor for about 15 minutes.
And she thinks that we think it's funny
that we're gonna, that is not funny.
Not even close.
And besides that, it is what it is.
Maybe I said too much, I don't know.
But at the end of the day,
hey, we don't fear you, Mrs. McMurtry,
just to let you know.
Which is don't if I fear anything is the fact that I may not fear God enough
I don't need to fear him as much as I can why once again to help me do hard things when they come across my path
To because I want to be used big by God
Three because guess what it is what it is
You have to be a person that fears God if you want to be blessed and obviously number four in case you didn't figure out a
God does not want us to just take sin lightly just doesn't
And if you reach your Bible, you don't need to watch dumb podcast videos by women that
don't know what they're talking about.
Let's pray.
There you go.
We thank you so much for all that you've done, Lord.
Obviously, Father, it is what it is.
You know, we ask the Lord to just be with us and protect us and to help people grow.
And Lord, just help us to get stronger as a church and not just up a Christianity in
general, Lord, Christianity worldwide.
Lord, I think, overall, Christianity is looking dumber and dumber.
I don't know if it's just the internet people,
but Father, we need to get back to the Word,
we need to get back to fear and use so you can give us wisdom.
And not just that, there, Father, we just ask you to just help us, Lord,
to win as many souls as possible this year,
but it's only going to happen if we stay humble and if we just fear you
and no one else, and we ask you to do us in Jesus' name, amen.
Amen.
Lastly, let's turn our hymnals to song number 135.
Song number 135.
I know that I am saved.
We'll sing it through twice.
Song number 135.
the cross of Calvary, and now I can see, for Christ is my King. I'll see this makes
him glory by and by. I know I am saved, for Christ has been free, he reigns of my poor soul.
And now I can sing for Christ as my King, I'll sing His face in glory high and bright.
