in your word in jesus name i pray amen man tonight i am continuing on my subject from this morning
this morning i preached on a biblical view of the environment and went over just some biblical
principles about what a correct view of the environment is because of the fact that there are
some people who go to extremes in either direction obviously we've got a lot of people that have made
a literal religion out of the environment and they're worshiping and serving the creature
more than the creator and they're deifying animals and plants and nature and they're putting nature
above the needs of human beings and they don't believe that god created the heaven and the earth
and so they have all kinds of wrong ideas and then you have other people who are kind of reacting to
the radical environmental agenda and they just kind of are for trashing the environment or just
they just kind of turn a blind eye as big businesses maybe just dump whatever toxic
sludge into this world and here's the thing there are some serious pollution going on in this world
and obviously it is unrighteous you know for example over in china there are literally cities
where the quality of the air is so bad that it's like smoking two packs a day of cigarettes just
to live there you just live i mean is that where you would want to raise your family and live would
you want to breathe that air and have your kids breathing that air but you see all these pictures
of all the haze and smog and it's it's horrible okay so obviously we don't want to go to either
of these extremes so we talked about some of the biblical things this morning that pertain to that
but tonight i want to just i don't want to re-preach this morning sermon but i want to just
focus in on one issue that i didn't really talk about a lot this morning that is kind of the big
one that you hear about all the time and i want to just look at some scriptures from the bible
and get a biblical perspective on this issue because there's a lot of disinformation on both
sides and what motivates all this disinformation that's out there well a lot of it's the love of
money there are a lot of people that profit from destroying the environment on one hand
because they're cutting corners on safety and cutting corners on you know uh how they dispose
of waste and so forth and then there are other people who are profiting on protecting the
environment because they want to charge people carbon credits and and you know they fly around
in a jet like al gore and and tell you that your car is the problem and everything like that
but the subject i really want to focus on tonight is the subject of global warming
okay because this is kind of the big one that you hear about all the time right global warming
and then it's like hey do you believe in global warming or do you not believe in global are you
a denier of global warming or whatever and a lot of this is just politically motivated folks and
and you have to be able to see through some of this garbage for what it is today we live in this
society where there's this false left right paradigm and you've got the democrats and the
republicans and here's what i've noticed okay whenever the democrats are in power
according to the republicans everything they do is wrong according to the democrats everything
they do is right and then when the republicans are in power the democrats just think everything
they do is wrong even if they're doing the exact same things you know and by the way let me just
say and this doesn't have anything to do with the environment so i'm a little off topic right now
but i know that as long as i realize that here's the thing is that whatever party's in power is
always the pro-war party by the way whoever's in power is pro-war and whoever's not in power
is against the war so right now we have a democrat in the white house so we're pro-war now okay and
then when it's a republican in the white house then the republicans will be pro-war and then the
democrats will go back to being against war okay but it's always like that uh whoever's in power
they can do no wrong if it's our guy you know but if it's the other guy he can do no right
this is of course foolishness okay and so this environmental issue has become just a very
partisan issue where the democrats want to preserve the environment and the republicans
you know don't care as much about the environment or whatever but we need to just kind of push all
that out of our minds and just think about what does the bible say what's truly going on here
and how should we feel about this as christians okay well the first thing i want to point out
about this issue of global warming and if you would turn to psalm 46 in your bible psalm 46
is that we should not buy into this fear-mongering that tries to scare us that somehow we're doing
permanent damage to the planet that can never be undone and all of these things about how you know
rising sea levels are going to put cities underwater and you know we're all going to just
be living in this uh dystopian hell hole or something okay because first of all we saw this
morning that the bible clearly said in genesis 822 while the earth remaineth seed time and harvest
cold and heat and summer and winter and day and night shall not cease right god has promised that
these things will continue until the end there's going to be cold there's going to be hot there
are going to be seasons we're going to be okay so don't panic don't freak out don't get scared
don't worry about now obviously like i said there are certain places in this world like for example
places in china and other places where yeah they are destroying the immediate environment around
them and harming and hurting their fellow man but in general this world in general is going to
survive until the end okay that's what the bible clearly teaches the bible says in psalm 46 verse
one god is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble therefore will not we fear though
the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea though the
waters thereof roar and be troubled though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof
ceila you see we as christians we shouldn't be afraid of anything that's going on in this natural
physical world around us because we know that god is our refuge he's our protector he's going
to keep us safe he's the god of nature he's the god that created all this and he's got the whole
world in his hands and it's nothing that we need to panic or worry about for ourselves i mean that's
what the bible says right even if the the earth be removed and the mountains be carried in the
midst of the sea you know whatever troubling of the waters that happens we know that if god's
for us who can be against us and we don't need to live in fear and get sucked into all of this
alarmism about global warming or the environment you know i just want to get that out of the way
go if you would to hebrews chapter one the other principle that we need to understand going into
this subject is that this world is not going to be here forever now we don't know how long this world
is going to be here and when i say it's not going to be here forever i mean in its present form
obviously it's going to be changed and here's the thing about that is that a lot of the
environmentalists and the alarmists they want this thing to last in its current state for like
millions of years okay well there's your problem right there it's not going to happen because this
thing was never intended to last for millions of years because that's not how god created it you
know we've been doing this now on this earth as human beings for you know what 6 300 some years
or whatever however long it's been but we're not going to be here millions of years from now
as it stands obviously i understand that there's going to be a new heaven a new earth and we're
going to be here forever but as it stands right now this is a temporary thing okay we don't know
when christ is going to return christ could return in our lifetime christ could return in the next
decade christ could return a hundred years from now or 300 years from now right we don't really
know but i would say if he's not here within the next 2 000 years that's when you should start
worrying no i'm just kidding but anyway because honestly i do believe that i don't believe it's
that far out but i will say that we're living in the last days the latter time so it makes sense
there about you know 4 300 and some years of human history before christ coming you know i
can't really see there being more than that after christ coming but the point is that we don't know
when it's going to happen but it is going to happen and really the earth in its current systems
only has to last up until that point okay look down at the bible there in hebrew chapter one
it says in verse 10 thou lord in the beginning has laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens
are the works of thine hands they shall perish but thou remainest what is the they there the earth and
the heavens they shall perish the earth and the heavens shall perish but thou remainest and they
all shall wax old as doth a garment and as a vesture shalt thou fold them up and they shall
be changed but thou art the same and thy years shall not fail so what's happening the earth is
decaying the earth is getting old the earth is waxing old as a garment and eventually god's
going to fold it up and it's going to be changed right so we shouldn't expect that things are going
to go on the way that they are right now for millions of years or something that's never been
god's plan now another thing about that is that the bible says that we don't know what a day will
bring forth we know not what shall be on the morrow the bible says and yet the global warming
alarmists they tell us what's going to happen 50 years from now 100 years from now 200 years from
now it is impossible for them to make these kind of predictions because the weather is very
complicated this is why even with all the computers and technology and advances in science
still the forecast over the next seven days if you keep checking it's going to keep changing
and if you check it four days from now it's going to look different let alone trying to predict
things five years from now 20 years from now 100 years from now you don't know what's going to
change not only that you don't know how technology is going to change you don't know what a day is
going to bring forth you don't know what's going to be on the morrow for example what if we were
living in the year 1900 and we said hey our current development just isn't sustainable
because there's just too many people with too many horses and you know there's just we can't have this
many horses and we can't accommodate the infrastructure for all these horses that would
have been really misguided because guess what in a short time people aren't going to care about
horses anymore unless it's just a hobby to have horses as a hobby because horses have been totally
replaced by machines in the vast majority of industries or transportation i mean look if
people have horses right now it's for fun it's a hobby it's not because they necessarily need it
obviously there are a few exceptions that but i'm saying in general so you could sit there in the
year 1900 worried about too many horses in the future and and not enough infrastructure for the
horses but that's because you don't know cars are coming so here's the thing we in 2023 we don't
know what's coming next we don't know what kind of methods for producing energy what kind of
transportation methods are coming so we can't just say well everybody's just driving their suvs for
the next 300 years this is what it's going to do to the environment because who's to say anybody's
going to be driving an suv 200 years from now or even 50 years from now we don't know because
technology is constantly changing and so we don't know what a day is going to bring forth
that's another biblical principle to think about here with this issue okay now if you would flip
over to uh luke chapter 20 actually turn to matthew chapter 7 we'll go to luke 21 a little
later go to matthew chapter 7 and while we're going to matthew chapter 7 let me just kind of
explain to you the basics of the issue in case you've been like living under a rock or something
for the last few years if you if you haven't heard of global warming or if you're not really
sure what these are or maybe you even have heard about it but maybe it was never explained to you
in a way that you understood because you're just hearing republicans and democrats arguing and
coming at you with their talk but let me just break this issue down to you okay here's the
bottom line okay human beings breathe in oxygen and we breathe out carbon dioxide right also
when you light things on fire okay fire breathes in oxygen and out comes carbon dioxide so if you
ever took a chemistry class or something a basic combustion reaction has some kind of a hydrocarbon
going in plus o2 and then boom out the other side one of the byproducts is water and the other
byproduct is co2 okay so when whenever you burn anything co2 and h2o are byproducts right water
and carbon dioxide well both water and carbon dioxide are what are called greenhouse gases
okay and what that means is that when carbon dioxide and water are in the atmosphere and
sunlight is coming in right they allow more sunlight to come down in than what they allow
to go out okay and this is because it's a different wavelength on its way in it's a
shorter wavelength and then on its way out it comes back in infrared and the infrared
longer wavelengths are blocked by the water and i'm oversimplifying this a little bit but that
but you know they block the the uh carbon dioxide and the water in the atmosphere are blocking
infrared radiation from leaving okay so whenever the visible light is coming from the sun
the h2o and co2 are just like come on in and they allow the light to come in but then when it's being
radiated back from the earth in more of an infrared spectrum it's like stop right there
because it's a bigger wavelength so it's running into more water and co2 or whatever hopefully you
understand what i just said hopefully what i just said made sense okay so this is like a greenhouse
because when you have a greenhouse you're trying to trap heat in right so these things are in the
atmosphere they're called greenhouse gases and so if you have more co2 and more h2o in the
atmosphere it traps heat inside and then because it tracks heat inside it makes it warmer and then
when it gets warmer more water evaporates and then water is a greenhouse gas so now you have
water in the atmosphere more which traps more heat which makes more water evaporate which traps more
heat which makes more water evaporate and you know what they would call a runaway greenhouse
effect where would be if it got so hot that all the water's evaporating and all of it's going to
the atmosphere and it's getting super hot and then you're the planet venus where you're just like
several hundred degrees fahrenheit hotter than what we have which is impossible can never happen
on the planet earth nobody's ever saying that that could ever happen unless they're just being silly
or something okay so what people are worried about is that with all of the power plants and cars and
machines and humans on the earth that are spitting out carbon dioxide that basically we're increasing
the temperature of the planet melting ice caps sea levels are rising the global temperature is
going up a little bit on average whatever but here's the thing to understand about this some
people would just say it's not happening it doesn't exist and you know maybe that's your opinion it's
really hard for anybody to say a hundred percent what's happening but in general the data suggests
that over the last hundred years co2 levels have gone up in the atmosphere and also that the
temperature has gone up a little bit in the atmosphere so people think okay yeah these
things are probably connected they're probably correlated but here's the thing about that is
that even the most extreme alarmist projections about how man if we just continue doing the same
thing without changing anything what's going to happen and they talk about the rising of sea level
because it's going to go up like a couple degrees across the planet you know it's really not that
extreme it's basically cities that are like right on the coast are going to be underwater because
they're like three feet above sea level or something right so if sea level rises like
three or four feet or six feet some places are literally going to be in trouble because
they're just that low now look the city of new orleans right now is below sea level
but i would submit to you that that is just an idiotic place to put a city and anybody who lives
there should just know what they're getting into that's the risk that you're taking building your
city below sea level which makes no sense okay so if you actually look at the most extreme
projections we're talking about sea level going up only by say several feet or something you know
20 30 40 years from now 50 years from now it goes up five feet or whatever now another thing that we
need to understand is that this is an average so if you go to a place where the sea level has
actually gone down you don't want to mistakenly say like well these scientists are all lying
because i saw the sea level go down because here's the thing it goes down in a lot of places and up
in a lot of places it's just that the average sea level is rising because they're also plate
tectonics at work that they're shoving up on certain plates some plates are moving up some
plates are moving down there are lots of other factors okay and i'm not trying to get all
scientific and technical tonight but i have to at least give some of the basics so that we're all
kind of on the same page and we kind of know what we're talking about here okay now i've got some
some some bad news for you you know arizona is never going to be beachfront property no matter
how serious global warming there is because we're sitting right now like 1100 feet above sea level
nobody is predicting that like even the people that are really scared about this are predicting
it going up by you know five feet or six feet or something so we're never going to be on the beach
you just have to drive to rocky point or la or something okay so just give up on that here's
what the bible says in in matthew chapter seven i think this is a relevant passage when it comes to
all these people that are living right on the beach and are scared about rising sea levels
okay here's what the bible says in matthew chapter 7 verse 24 it says therefore whosoever hearth
these sayings of mine and doeth them i will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock
and the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon that house and it
fell not for is founded upon a rock and everyone that hearth these sayings of mine do it the not
shall be likened unto a foolish man which built his house upon the sand
and the rain descended and the floods came and the wind blew and beat upon that house and it fell and
great was the fall of it you could also say he built his house upon the sand and global warming
came and sea level rose and his house was washed away now look if you're going to build your house
right on the beach here's what i would say to you you're probably not a poor person
would you agree with that i mean all the beaches that are lining california and other places
i don't think all the poor people are living right on the beach okay those are wealthy people's
mansions and they build mansions on the edge of a cliff they build mansions in some rock slide area
because it looks cool they build mansions in the sand they build mansions on the beach they build
big resorts on the beach look anybody who builds buildings in places that have historically been
underwater or historically been places where mudslides happen or where if the sea level rises
by a foot and a half we're doomed you know what that's the risk that they should have thought
about getting into that and perhaps as this world changes because nothing ever stays the same in
life as the world changes maybe some people will just need to move a little ways away from the
shore as the sea level changes okay because even if there were no global warming at all
you still could have sea level rising in certain places and falling in others because the earth is
constantly moving and changing their earthquakes and things look if you build your house on an
earthquake fault something might go wrong right i mean it's it's like if you build in these places
and look if you drive around new orleans all these damaged houses and buildings are everywhere
and you're like is this from katrina or what you know what is this no oh no this is from you know
this is from uh last year this is from well and that was from the year before oh yeah it's just
every single year they're getting pounded by these storms and they're living below sea level so
they're subject to all this flooding and catastrophe and it's also one of the most
sinful wicked cities in america you know i say las vegas new orleans i mean they're right up
there okay for just weirdness and my point is that these people who have built their houses
in the low places of this world and they built literally on the sand in many cases and they're
built right on the edge i'm sorry but i'm not really worried about them being underwater 50
years from now i think that they might just think about slowly moving their stuff away from the edge
of the water and building on a more sure foundation okay this is kind of obvious isn't it now if you
would and by the way uh turn to luke 21 if you would but while you're turning to luke 21 the
book of revelation talks about how in the end times they're going to be all kinds of cataclysms
and they're all going to be all kinds of tidal waves and there are going to be all kinds of
islands and cities that go completely underwater in the end times you know for example the bible
talks about when the seventh angel pours out his vial in revelation chapter 16 it says and every
island fled away and the mountains were not found so there are going to be all kinds of disruptions
in the end times they're going to be islands submerged in water there are going to be tidal
waves that wipe out cities and neighborhoods but here's the thing about that we are not going to be
here as christians when god pours out his wrath upon this earth because these things happen after
christ comes in the clouds and we are caught up together to meet him in the clouds look what the
bible says in luke 21 verse 25 and there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars
and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity the sea and the waves roaring men's
hearts failing them with fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth
for the powers of heaven shall be shaken so notice sea and waves roaring powers of heaven shaken
then shall they see the son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory and when these
things begin to come to pass so when these things are just starting to happen and if we study the
rest of the bible we know even on the very day that these things begin to happen we're not
talking weeks or months later when these things begin to come to pass then look up and lift up
your heads for your redemption draweth nigh and so when the day does finally come that we have the
sun and moon darkened earthquakes tidal waves sea and waves roaring when these physical natural
catechisms start happening then we look and lift up our heads and know that our redemption draweth
night we're not worried about what's going to happen to our city or our houses because we're
gone at that point we're done at that point now until that day this world is going to keep on
turning okay the oceans are going to do their thing the forests are going to do their thing
summer and winter springtime and harvest heat and cold all the different cycles of this earth are
going to continue and everything in general is going to be fine until this day comes when yeah
the people who are living in these low cities and people are living on islands and in mountains
they ought to be very afraid because they are going to get wiped out someday but it's going to
be by a divine act of the wrath of god it's not going to be because of too many greenhouse gases
it's not going to be because we didn't care enough about the environment it's going to be because god
is angry about sin and is going to send his wrath and judgment upon this earth uh flip over to
second peter chapter number three second peter chapter number three and while you're turning
there let me read for you a little bit of global warming from the bible it says in revelation 16
8 and the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun and power was given unto him to scorch
men with fire and men were scorched with great heat and blasphemed the name of god which have
power over these plagues and they repented not to give him glory and so ultimately someday when god
is pouring out his wrath on this earth one of the things he's going to do is he's going to scorch
men with great heat it's going to get extremely hot there are going to be record high temperatures
and people are going to be really suffering from the heat wave that god sends as he's pouring out
his wrath upon this earth but here's the thing about that when that happens they're not giving
god the glory the bible says so what are they probably going to be saying you know why didn't
we listen to the scientists why didn't we listen about global warming you know when all of these
natural disasters and cataclysms are happening in the end times it's possible that they will be
blamed on the environment that they'll be blamed on heavy industry they'll be blamed on greenhouse
gases or oh look you know we mess with the climate too much and now look what's happening to us look
at these earthquakes you know i don't understand how we could be causing earthquakes you know with
greenhouse gases but i mean look that's the kind of things that you hear some of these radical
environments and environmentalists and politicians say they literally claim that you know we're
causing hurricanes and tornadoes and earthquakes these things have always happened my friend
okay and what you have to understand is that the earth is a dynamic place things are constantly
changing volcanoes are erupting plates are shifting all kinds of weather patterns are
happening the sun is going through different phases there are sunspots and different cycles
that the sun is on that the earth is on that everything is on and so they're going to be
climate changes okay and so i don't think that we need to deny the fact that uh the global
temperature has increased by a few degrees or something and say like no it's not happening
maybe it is happening why not like who cares like if somebody says hey we've pumped all these
co2 fumes into the air and now the temperature has gone up by a degree and a half or something
worldwide okay let's say that that's true well then what are we going to do to fix it because
these liberals environmental they don't really have a viable solution because the answer isn't
windmills okay because you're never going to produce the power needs of this world with
windmills and you can't use hydroelectric because they hate damming rivers right and i mean we can't
put up too many windmills because then we're messing up their pristine nature preserves they
don't want to see anything man-made right so my here's my question what do they want do they want
us to go back into the stone age do they want us to literally just live outside or but then
these same people they've got like a six dollar starbucks drink in one hand and then they've got
their macbook pro in the other hand and then they're telling you how you know their electric
cars out in the parking lot and they're telling you how like we've got to you know stop using so
much energy it's like what do you think went into that drink and that computer and that car and you
know they can pontificate about their electric car but guess how most electric power is produced in
america today it's produced by literally lighting coal on fire i mean you want to talk about
primitive literally burning coal lighting coal on fire i mean that is pumping greenhouse gases into
the environment big time so what is the difference if i get in my car and turn on my gasoline engine
and put out a little bit of fumes into this world or if i have an electric car then i'm
charging up with power that's from a coal burning power plant it doesn't make any sense does it
so until you turned all of the electricity production into a cleaner electricity production
like say nuclear power or something like that then it wouldn't really even make any sense to
just say oh if we switch to electric cars that's going to fix everything right you'd have to
actually switch the power source as well but even if you did that what about all the power that went
into manufacturing your tesla vehicle what about all the power that went into manufacturing your
computer your clothes your these people don't want to live out in the jungle going ooga booga
they want to live in cities they want to have electricity they want to have climate control
they want to have nice clothes they want to have all these things and you know what they are they're
big-time hypocrites what they are they want you to not do the things that you want to do or or
or drive the vehicle that you want to drive but it's what they do is fine but ultimately what
they'll tell you that the real solution is when you really get down to it with these people what
is the solution it's it's not going back to the stone age we you know nobody wants to do that
nobody wants to just be like that's it i'm done using power it's too bad for the environment
i don't see greta turnberg swearing off all electricity and all modes of transportation
that use electricity or fossil fuels or anything how about this she can only drive in vehicles
where nothing's been mined right nothing's been mined and no damage has been done to the
environment what's she going to do drive around a giant carrot celery mobile
because you know everything either gets grown or mined anything that you make anything that
you use to make stuff it either has to be grown or mined where do you think materials come from
friend you either they either grow out of the earth or you mine them out of the ground
both of them are going to do some damage to the environment and it's so ultimately you want to
know what their solution ultimately is is reduce the population and it all comes down to reducing
the population either by just forcing everyone on birth control or brainwashing everyone not
to have children or even killing people you know in order to reduce the population because we're
just this cancer on this planet hey as i preached this morning this planet exists for us and because
of us we are not the problem this is our house we rule this planet we as human beings are the only
spiritual beings on this planet that even matter eternally because animals and plants today are and
tomorrow are cast into the oven yeah the bible says that about grass but let's just put animals
into that too because we all throw animals into our oven as well and so the bottom line is that
we as human beings we are fine to have kids and live on this earth and eat and drink and serve
god because you know i'm not worried about what's going to happen 80 years from now to this planet
or 150 years from now because no one knows what's going to happen in the future and all we know is
what's right in front of us and the bible says take no thought for tomorrow for the morrow shall
take thought for the things of itself sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof and so no we
don't want to corrupt and pollute our environment right now for us here in the present but we don't
need to be like yeah but what about 700 years from now oh but what's new orleans going to do in 75
years you know what if new orleans is underwater in 75 years i think that could be a good thing
okay and i mean look it's not like it's going to happen in one day or something that everybody you
know let's get up i'm not saying that we can't get everybody out alive but that's a wicked city
and if it goes underwater they should have thought about that before they built it below sea level
that's their problem nothing's permanent in this world and so you know if kiribati goes
underwater or other island nations that are one foot above sea level say lobby okay throughout
history places that used to be livable have become not livable and then new places that used to be
not livable become livable people have to move people have to change who here has moved in your
life more than 100 miles from where you used to live put up your hand at some point in your life
you move more than 100 miles away yeah that's just life we've all done it we've all moved okay
you're not necessarily just going to be able to live your entire life below sea level
and just expect all of these dams and dikes and and whatever to to withhold the flood eventually
you're getting submerged that's life and so second peter chapter 3 verse 10 says this says
but the day of the lord will come as a thief in the night in which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise and the elements shall melt with fervent heat the earth also and the
works that are therein shall be burned up seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved
what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness looking for
and hasting under the coming of the day of god wherein the heavens being on fire shall be
dissolved and the elements shall melt with fervent heat nevertheless we according to his promise look
for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelt righteousness you see i'm not too worried about
the fact that eventually this earth is going to be destroyed because i know that i am a spiritual
being that's going to live forever and so when i die i'm going straight to heaven or when christ
returns i'm going to be caught up with him in the clouds and so i'm not worried about the fact that
this earth is not going to make it for thousands more years or or several hundred more years
because i'm looking for a new heaven and a new earth according to god's promise and in light
of the fact that everything around us is eventually going to be burned destroyed submerged
whatever what manner of persons ought we to be according to verse 11 in all holy conversation
and godliness you know we need to live our lives for a cause that is actually eternal okay something
that actually matters if you spend your life as some kind of an eco warrior trying to save the
planet you're not going to succeed because eventually god has slated the planet for
destruction and no matter what you do to preserve it it's still going to get super hot someday
it's still going to get super flooded someday islands are going underwater no matter what
it's all going to happen none of us can stop it from happening but i'll tell you what we can do
today is we can give the gospel to someone right we can actually preach the gospel to every creature
and you know what here's the thing obviously this is a sensitive subject for me because i have 12
children right and and all when it all comes down to with these environmentalists is that we need to
stop having so many humans on the planet we got to reduce the population and so i'm their worst
nightmare okay by producing 12 children according to their logic that just says oh more people equals
bad for the environment first of all i don't even believe that at all because here's the thing i am
a responsible person who actually treats the environment well and i'm raising my children
to be intelligent responsible people that are going to treat the environment well we're not
littering our trash we're not dumping any toxic sludge we're not involved in any kind of of uh
you know desecration of the environment okay now do we use power sure yeah we use power we use
plumbing whatever but we also have 12 people living in one house that's pretty efficient if
you ask me i typed all my info into like a environmental calculator telling me my carbon
footprint and my carbon footprint actually was pretty good because it's like how many people
live in your house and how big is your house and it's like my score went through the roof like hey
it's like yeah all right what i didn't tell them is i brought those 12 people into this world
you know and so but you know they think i'm just having some kind of a commune with all
my environmental buddies but the the point is that you know i don't think i don't think that
i'm the problem anyway because you want to know who the big polluters are in this world
it's giant corporations it's the military industrial complex i mean who do you think's
polluting more homeschool families with with a lot of kids or the defense department you know
setting off nukes just to see what will happen just testing them out testing all kinds of other
you know explosive devices all the time you know burning all kinds of stuff to the ground
but again it's a big time hypocrisy it's just it's just a bludgeon for liberals to use
just to beat up on people who have big families or just to tell us that we're the problem we
need to change our lifestyle and whatever you know i don't believe that we need to go backward
as a as a culture i believe we need to go forward i want to see more technological advantages more
conveniences i'm not trying to go backward and go back into the woods or something
you know i want to i want to keep advancing and so you know what figure out a way to generate
cleaner power because i'm going to use power and so is everyone else and none of us are going to
stop and i and you know what as long as the muslims are pumping out a bunch of illiterate children
who follow a pedophile named muhammad as long as they're churning out six seven eight kids
per family on average well you know what i'm having kids too because i want to bring some
bible believing christians into this world and at least i'm bringing people into this world that can
read and write and at least i'm bringing and you say oh how you said about muslim folks look at
the statistics of the 10 most illiterate countries in the world they're muslim countries look at
countries where there's high illiteracy it's not the christians that are illiterate it's
the muslims that are illiterate right so hey who do you think's going to mess up the environment
more illiterate muslims or actual god you say well yeah but the god fearing christians they
have all the prosperity so then you know they have the vehicles and the stuff okay well good
for us we're going to enjoy it until jesus comes okay but look you got a bunch of pagans you got
a bunch of muslims you got mormons and others you know pumping out a bunch of children into
this world well you know what too can play at that game we are going to reproduce ourselves here
as godly bible believing christians and we're going to raise up a generation that's going to
preach the gospel to every creature we're going to raise up children in the nurture and admonition of
the lord i'm not going to let some liberal tell me not to have kids because i'm destroying first
of all there's eight billion people in the world i brought in 12 more it's a drop of water on a hot
stove especially if my kids are smart people that are actually doing good things for society and
doing good things for the environment and doing good things more importantly spiritually for
this world because our world has much bigger spiritual problems than environmental problems
or whatever else you know i'm teaching my kids not to litter i'm teaching my kid and by the way
we we teach all our kids to uh use environmentally friendly cleaning products and eat organic food
why because we're just so scared about the environment no because we don't want to use
poisonous stuff in our house anyway so we we like to use the clean greeny stuff anyway just because
we're just looking out for our own health and our own safety you know and so there's a bunch
of propaganda out there that's geared at trying to get uh trying to get people not to have kids
and what are we talking about we're talking about americans getting americans not to have kids right
nobody's stopping the muslims from having kids in all of their crap hole countries that they live in
okay hey i can't believe you said that wake up my friend islam is a is a religion
that is that is ruining every society where it exists period okay but you know hey they don't
want us to have kids that's one of the reasons for this propaganda they don't want us to have
children and it's also because they want to knock on christianity and say that well christianity is
the problem because you know we basically believe that we're not going to be here forever and we
believe that god's got the whole world in his hands and everything but the science says it's
all going to be doomed in 200 years or whatever nobody knows what's going to happen in 200 years
and you know what even a lot of scientists they'll try to tell you all the scientists agree on these
subjects if you actually listen to what scientists are saying they'll tell you hey there's more co2
in the atmosphere the temperature's gone up a few degrees but we don't know what it's going to do in
the future it's it's impossible to predict there are too many variables because there are all kinds
of mechanisms in our world to counteract when co2 levels rise you know other mechanisms kick in
negative feedback loops kick in and so i'm not worried about it i'm not scared about it at the
end of the day what i care about is making a spiritual difference in this world winning souls
to christ preaching the gospel to every creature because everything that we see with our eyes one
day according to second peter three is all going to be gone someday it's all going to be dissolved
every tree in the rain forest is going to be gone all of the life and think about when we read the
book of revelation and god's pouring out his wrath on this earth what about when one third of the
creatures which are in the sea and have life die how about when one third of the ocean life just
dies i mean whatever we're doing to the environment right now can't even hold a candle to that kind of
devastation and destruction that god himself is going to bring in the end times because of his
wrath upon wickedness and sin so at the end of the day we need to focus on the spiritual battle
the things that are seen are temporal the things that are not seen are eternal and we need to not
buy into this propaganda now as i said this morning we don't want to go to another extreme
and desecrate the environment ourselves and we should not support dumping toxic waste or
you know pumping a bunch of billowing black smoke into the atmosphere and and just all the like i
said you know where where you have cities in this world where the air quality is so horrific that
people are having health problems and so forth hey i'm against all of that okay i'm all for
uh cleaner sources of power production i'm all for uh you know
reusing things or uh you know using you know not wasting things i mean what's the bible say you
know he that is slothful in his work his brother to him is a great waster i'm against wasting
things and i'm against littering and i want to uh you know be responsible about the way that i live
my life so i'm not harming my fellow man and and i want to do unto others as i would have them to
do unto me and so i don't want to leave the environment worse for my children by you know
just uh destroying resources or polluting or anything like that i mean i think we all kind
of agree with those basic principles of keeping things nice but that's not really what the
environmental movement is about is it it's more about talking down on humans talking down on
christians talking down on having a big family and it's all about just promoting a certain
political agenda so that they can take power and they can get the carbon credits and they can spend
billions of dollars of government money on all of their sweetheart deals for the green economy so
that them and their buddies can get rich there's just so much corruption in this world and that's
why i'd rather just not get involved in these political things and and all the things that
are going on in this world about uh you know global warming on a political level
but i would say this that yes the weather is changing i mean the weather has been doing some
radical things over the last few years record heat waves in places like portland oregon
santa monica california i mean those temperatures are unprecedented
but we had a pretty cool spring here
what if it just keeps getting hotter you know well then people are just gonna have to move
somewhere else people are always gonna figure it out and they're always gonna be winners and
losers by the way you know whenever the environment changes it's not bad for everyone certain life
forms are gonna thrive when it gets a little warmer other life forms are gonna suffer when
it gets a little warmer well guess what that's what the way life is isn't it we always have to
adapt and change we might have to move if we lit you know our beachfront property might get
a little bit inundated or whatever move on live your life but but see as long as we don't have
our grip too tight on the things of this world anyway as long as we're living for christ as long
as we have spiritual things at the forefront of our mind you know these things shouldn't really
bother us that much and so i think i have a pretty balanced view about this that i go through my life
thinking about other people not trashing anything not destroying the environment around me i don't
want to support uh you know businesses or governments that are just pumping garbage
into the atmosphere and just say yeah we'll show them democrats you know crank that thing crank
up that furnace and let's just churn out even more noxious fumes at the same time you know i'm never
going to buy into this fear-mongering alarmist agenda that claims that you know the the ice caps
are all going to melt and we're all going to die it's just not going to happen the bible says it's
not going to happen science says it's not going to happen common sense says it's not going to happen
even the scariest predictions for 80 years from now that sea levels rising by you know six feet
or something okay says oh that's going to displace 250 million people they're going to have to move
then 250 million people are going to have to move and they have 75 years to figure it out
you know i mean they're look they're there are places in this world right now that are just
totally underwater that used to be above the water remember that place in jamaica what was it called
port royal and isn't it just totally underwater now and there are other cities if you look at
historic maps and things where there are other historical cities that are just completely
underwater right now part of tire you know tire anxiety in the bible part of it is completely
underwater on the southern part of the city it's submerged it used that part of the island used to
be above the water you know i mean it's just things things change things move up they go down
i mean sometimes a single earthquake can move the earth up by several feet or down by several feet
in the location and sea levels are going to rise they're going to fall we don't know what a day is
going to break forth maybe 50 years from now the sea level will have gone up maybe it won't have
gone up at all maybe we'll have gone up down because there's so many other factors there are
volcanoes that can erupt plate tectonics look has anybody ever heard of the year without a summer
one person has heard about the year without a summer what year was it
so in the 1800s there was a year where there was a volcanic eruption and it messed up the
weather so much it was called the year without a summer and it caused a lot of widespread famines
and and all kinds of terrible results and what if that happened today obviously it could easily
happen today if it happened in the 1800s just and this is before the industrial revolution
just randomly it was just an act of god volcano messed up the weather patterns and you had the
so-called year just google it later year without a summer and you'll see what i'm talking about
one person has testified that it's real i got a second witness well here's the thing about that
if that happened now there'd be a bunch of people just ready to capitalize on that and say you see
what we've been saying you are responsible for killing all these thousands of people are starving
because of the year without a summer i mean do you really think that if a year without a summer
happened next year people would just be like hey everybody relax this happened in the 1800s it's
just it happens every once in a while you think that's what they would say how many people in this
world do you think would blame it on global warming and they would blame it on cars and
they'd blame it on america and they blame it on our lifestyle you know what it really comes down
to is envy which is a sin in the bible right because we in the united states we live in
prosperity and i like it you know what i like i like living in a clean sanitary safe prosperous
beautiful place that's who likes that too you like that too yeah so do i and then you got people
elsewhere it's kind of like ah you americans you consume so much crap yeah we consume it
because we bought it because we paid for it and you know why god has blessed this country because
there's a christian nation you're muslim that's why your country's messed up europe is messed up
because it's allowing all the muslims to come in god's cursing you europe because you're allowing
muslims to invade en masse and not only that europe is being cursed because they've turned away
from christianity long before america did now if america keeps turning away from christianity we're
going to end up the same way as europe but you know why we're blessed because we've historically
been a christian nation and so here we are we're blessed we have all these children and all these
goods and all this prosperity and stuff and it's like oh you're ruining the environment or whatever
you know it's just it's sour grapes because they don't have the prosperity that we have
and they envy our prosperity they end you know they they want us driving around one of those
stupid little smart cars that they drive over there they're just jealous because they can't
have the vehicles that we can have over here and let me tell you if somebody comes at you with this
propaganda it tells you that people have a higher standard of living in europe let me just tell you
right now it's a lie it's false okay it isn't true the life that i've lived here in the united
states would have never been possible in europe 24 i was 24 years old married three kids bought
a home with a swimming pool in the backyard you think that's going to happen in germany
no not happening okay but europe you you want to know what's wrong with europe do you know how
many people go to church in england tonight you want to know what percentage of people
in the united kingdom attend church of any christian denomination it's less than one percent
did you hear me in england tonight less than one percent of people are attending church on sunday
you think god's gonna bless that okay you think god's gonna bless germany where everybody's
catholic or catholic light also known as protestant but they're just catholic light
and they are persecuting any preacher who even gets up and preaches something halfway biblical
and of course they they persecute people like brother anzome you know for preaching all these
hard sermons about sodomites or something but you know what they even persecuted a lutheran guy
just because he got up and said muslims aren't going to heaven
jews aren't going to heaven right catholicism is a false religion that's why we're lutheran
that's what he said we're lutheran because catholics are false otherwise we'd be catholic
too but we're not we're lutheran it's like oh they literally prosecuted him and charged him
with hate speech crimes and they literally have taken him to court he was he was like
he was exonerated he's convicted it's appealed like it's going back and forth but the guy didn't
even preach the kind of stuff we preach i mean what this guy said was super mild he's basically
just saying jesus is the only way to heaven and he's being charged with hate crimes meanwhile
anzome over here is ripping on queers and also and he's getting charged with the same crime
which just shows you can't please these people okay so look that's the problem today the
problems in this world are spiritual problems and we in america today have unprecedented prosperity
and safety and cleanliness and it's great and you say yeah but you're just destroying the environment
ah you know look other cultures would destroy the environment too okay it's just that they
don't have the resources to destroy the environment like we do
i'm not kidding this is the truth that i'm that i'm laying on you right now
you know what you know what you want to know one of the biggest
sticks of baloney that is that is put out about this they try to say this oh the native americans
they're living in perfect harmony with nature until the evil christian white man came along
and destroyed nature can i explain to you why the native americans weren't destroying the
environment is because they didn't have the technology to destroy the environment
it's because they're living hand to mouth it's because most of them didn't even have
clothes to wear okay in the 1500s when the first europeans showed up in north america
most of the native americans weren't wearing any clothes okay and they're living hand to mouth
okay if you think about the indians in this area they're living on things like acorns they're
eating cactuses and acorns that is not a healthy diet okay and it's like oh but they only took what
they needed they didn't take too much hey if you they would have loved to take more
they were low tech do you understand what i'm saying it's not that they're just oh they knew
that you know you can't take too much and you've got to just live in harmony with nature and only
take what you need you think they're just like oh let's take this acorn and let's leave the
other acorn behind they're squirreling away as many acorns as they could
i'm serious right now this is not a joke
and it's you want to know why they didn't destroy the environment because they didn't have the
ability to destroy the environment because you know what we can drive right now to an indian
reservation and you know what you're going to find on an indian reservation you're not going
to find people living in harmony with nature you're going to find piles of trash that are
higher than any pile of trash you've ever seen if you've never been to an indian reservation
i've been there i've been to all 21 reservations in arizona and i've never seen anything like it
there's more litter on those reservations and you know i said that to somebody one time and
this is what they said they said well but yeah i mean it's easy for you to say but it's because
you know we've let them down because we don't provide the right trash pickup and whatever
but you know what at the end of the day though nobody's forcing you to eat your disposable
wrapper and throw it on the ground because you know what if you really wanted to get that stuff
to a proper receptacle you'd get it there right because i have relatives who live in areas with
no trash pickup at all and you know what they do they gather up all their trash they store it up
and once a week they drive it to the dump and you know what if you go to an indian reservation you
know what you're going to find on the typical uh native american property like three pickup trucks
just living in harmony with nature with their three pickup trucks processed foods
piles of trash right but but no no they were living in perfect harmony with nature until
the evil white man showed up and ruined it no my friend the reason why we have used more resources
is because we have more technology and any group in this world who has the technology to do that
who has the technology to do so is going to use resources right because here's the thing and then
the native americans they get angry and they say you know we're imposing christianity we're imposing
on them the american way of life it's like okay well then give me back that belt buckle
give me that cowboy hat give me that pickup truck give me that spam you know
give me that coca-cola and you know what you go back to living your way of life
none of them want to do that and i don't blame them do you think they want to go back to a winter
of acorn food they don't want to eat acorns all winter they don't want to just wait just just
wait for the prickly pears to be ripe so we can have food again eating spiders and you know you
think i'm making this stuff up you know i've read the historical accounts from the 1500s okay they're
living hand to mouth back then and so they don't want to go back to the pre-contact lifestyle you
know these native american movements want to know what they're really about they're anti-christian
they're about saying the white christian ruined everything so we need to go back to our
traditional ways i'm not talking about my pickup truck i'm not talking about spam i'm not talking
about my belt buckle i'm not talking about my cowboy hat i'm talking about going back to
worshiping satan and not having jesus christ and christianity i want to go back to running around
the campfire dressed up like a demon that's what they're saying that's what it comes down to
we want our way of life back they want to worship demons is what they mean because they what are
they saying we don't want cars is that what they're saying no cars get these cars off the
reservation why am i not hearing that no more spam no more grocery stores get these gas stations
out here that's not what they're saying get these casinos out we don't want these casinos is that
what they're saying they want the casinos they want the cars they want the houses we're we're
tired of having power hooked up to our house get this indoor plumbing out of here what our way of
life no you know when they say we want our way of life you know what they're saying we want to
worship satan instead and let me tell you something when you are dancing around the campfire with a
ghoulish mask on whoever you're praying to it's not the lord am i right and so i'm telling you
this whole global warming issue this whole environmental issue comes down to
an attack on big families an attack on christianity an attack on the american
way of life an attack on the prosperity that we've created in this country and even spread
to other parts of the world and we've even spread it to the native americans and you know what a lot
of people on the reservations are living sad must-up lives and i you know what i feel bad
about that and that's why we're constantly going there and preaching the gospel to them and showing
them the love of christ and we want to show them a better way to live their life we love them you
know you if you think i don't like indians you're 100 wrong about me because i i've spent hundreds
of hours on indian reservations i love going to indian reservations i love the people you know
i've studied the languages you know i think it's great but you know i don't love their false
religion because i don't love any false religion and i do think their false religion is demonic
just like islam is demonic just like roman catholicism is demonic okay but at the end of the
day all of this stuff is a political ploy it's propaganda is global warming real you want to know
my personal opinion my personal opinion is yes it's real my personal opinion is yes emissions
of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases over the last hundred years have caused the global
temperature to rise a little bit and have caused the uh average sea level to rise a little bit i've
looked at the evidence i've looked at the data and i personally believe that it's all true as far as
that but you know what i don't believe i don't believe for one second all this alarmism garbage
that we're all doomed that we're doing this irreparable damage it's totally exaggerated it's
totally a hoax everything's going to be fine and i can say on the authority of the bible that
everything's going to be fine until christ returns as far as the big picture of nature doesn't mean
there aren't going to be some environmental disasters in certain places but in general
it's all going to be fine i'm for christianity i'm for america i'm for prosperity i'm for technology
i don't want to go backwards i want you to figure out how to get power to my house that doesn't
pump a bunch of you know carbon dioxide into the air but figure it out because i'm not turning off
my computer and the difference between me and the libtards is i'm admitting that and telling the
truth about that that i don't want to go back to the stone age and so i hope that this sermon
helped maybe put some things in perspective for you or maybe uh taught you something maybe it
just confused you more but i hope that i hope that uh something that i said tonight clicked
with you and made some kind of sense because it's this is an issue that we hear about all the time
and and people are constantly bringing this up and whatever and so i think it's just good to look at
some bible verses and see what the word of god says we don't know what's coming quit pretending
to god's got the whole world in his hands don't build your house on the sand and if it if you do
build your house on the sand and it gets submerged well i'm not too worried about it because i live
at 1100 feet sea level and so i'm fine how are you i'm fine let's borrow that word of prayer
father we thank you so much for your word lord to give us assurance about these things we don't have
to be scared and and have our childhood taken away from us because we're so scared about global
warming lord thank you that we know that even if the mountains are removed and even if uh they're
cast into the sea we will not fear because we know that you're in control we know that you're
watching over us individually and we know that you're watching over this planet as a whole lord
please help us to act responsibly and considerately of others lord help us to take care of our neighbor
and lord ultimately help us preach the gospel to the muslims and to the jews and to the indians
and everyone else who's worshiping satan and in jesus name we pray amen
