And we'll sing it together on that first,
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion.
When
the Lord turned again
the captivity of Zion
We were like
them that dream.
Then was
our mouth filled
with laughter
Then said they among the
heathen, the Lord had done great
things for them, the Lord had done
great things for us. Whereof
we are glad.
Turn again
our captivity
O Lord
As the streams in the
South
They that sow in
tears shall reap in
joy. They
that sow in tears shall reap in
joy. Then
said they among the heathen,
the Lord had done great things
for them, the Lord had done great
things for us. Whereof
we are glad.
He that
goeth forth and weepeth
bearing precious seed
Shall always come
again.
Shall always come again
with rejoicing,
bringing
his sheeps with him.
Then said they
among the heathen, the Lord had
done great things for them, the Lord
had done great things for us.
Whereof we
are glad.
Whereof we are
glad.

heart. Take the Savior here
below with you everywhere you

Matt, good singing tonight.
In Hebrews 13, the Bible reads,
Let brotherly love continue.
Be not forgetful to entertain
strangers, for thereby some have
entertained angels unawares.
Remember them that are in bonds,
as bound with them, and them
which suffer adversity, as being
yourselves also in the body.
Marriage is honorable in all,
and the bed undefiled, but
whoremongers and adulterers God
will judge. Let your conversation
be without covetousness, and be
content with such things as ye
have, for ye have said, I will
never leave thee nor forsake
thee, so that we may boldly say,
The Lord is my helper, and I
will not fear what man shall do
unto me. Remember them which
have the rule over you, who have
spoken unto you the word of God,
whose faith follow, considering
the end of their conversation.
Jesus Christ, the same yesterday
and today and forever. Be not
carried about with diverse and
strange doctrines, for it is a
good thing that the heart be
established with grace, not with
meats which have not profited
them that have been occupied
therein. We have an altar, where
they have no right to eat which
serve the tabernacle. For the
bodies of those beasts whose
blood is brought into the
sanctuary by the high priest for
sin are burned without the camp.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he
might sanctify the people with
his own blood, suffered without
the gate. Let us go forth
therefore unto him without the
camp, bearing his reproach. For
here have we no continuing city,
but we seek one to come. By him
therefore let us offer the
sacrifice of praise to God
continually, that is the fruit of
our lips giving thanks to his
name. But to do good and to
communicate forget not, for with
such sacrifices God is well
pleased. Obey them that have the
rule over you, and submit
yourselves, for they watch for
your souls, as they that must
give account, that they may do
it with joy and not with grief,
for that is unprofitable for you.
Pray for us, for we trust we have
a good conscience, in all things
willing to live honestly. But I
beseech you the rather to do
this, that I may be restored to
you the sooner. Now the God of
peace, that brought again from
the dead our Lord Jesus, that
great shepherd of the sheep,
through the blood of the
everlasting covenant, make you
perfect in every good work to do
his will, working in you that
which is well pleasing in his
sight, through Jesus Christ, to
whom be glory forever and ever.
Amen. And I beseech you,
brethren, suffer the word of
exhortation, for I have written
a letter unto you in few words.
Know ye that our brother Timothy
is set at liberty, with whom, if
he comes shortly, I will see you.
Salute all them that have the
rule over you, and all the
saints. They of Italy salute you.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
Father, thank you for the King
James Bible and Fifth Ward Baptist
Church. I thank you for the
opportunity to hear your holy
and your sacred word. I ask you,
fill Pastor Anderson with your
Holy Spirit, open our hearts and
our ears to receive your word,
and I pray this in Jesus' holy
name. Amen. Amen. Tonight, we're
continuing with the Revelation 21
8 series. We've talked about the
fearful, the unbelieving, the
abominable murderers, and tonight
we are on whoremongers, right?
And the Bible says that
whoremongers and sorcerers and
idolaters and all liars shall
have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone,
which is the second death. And,
of course, we're thankful that
Christ came to this world to save
sinners and that by believing on
the Lord Jesus Christ, we are
saved, we are redeemed, we're
forgiven, we've been sealed by
the Holy Ghost unto the day of
redemption. Nothing can separate
us from the love of God, which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord, and so
we have been forgiven of all of
our sins. But at the same time, as
we read a verse about God's wrath
being upon these particular
sinners, even though we are saved
and forgiven children of God, we
do not want to displease God by
engaging in the same types of
sins that would incur the wrath
of God upon the children of
disobedience. And so we want to
make sure that we are not fearful
or unbelieving or abominable or
murderers or, as we're going to
see tonight, whoremongers. Now,
what is a whoremonger? Well, this
is probably not a term that people
use very much in 2025 unless they
are a Christian, unless they go
to church. It's not something that
is really in the popular
imagination. Kids probably aren't
hearing it on TV or in school or
anything like that. But a
whoremonger is a word that's used
interchangeably in the New
Testament with a fornicator, and
it's really just talking about a
man who is engaging in, you know,
that kind of activity outside of
marriage, right? He's sleeping
with women outside of marriage.
It is the male counterpart of a
whore, right? You have the whore
and the whoremonger. And here's
what can sometimes confuse people
is that a lot of times when we see
words like harlot and whore, of
course, we're talking about that
in its literal sense, which is
talking about a woman who is
actually selling her body for
those services, okay? And that's
what the literal definition of a
whore or a harlot is, a
prostitute, right? But what you
have to understand is that in the
Bible, women will often be labeled
as a whore or a harlot or that
they're playing the whore or
playing the harlot, they're being
like a whore or being like a
harlot, even if they're not
actually selling their bodies, but
just if they are just loose, if
they're just easy, if they're just
promiscuous, then they get labeled
as a whore. And in the same way,
the whoremonger is not only
talking about men who are
actually paying for fornication,
but rather this is just talking
about dudes who are engaging in
fornication in general. You see,
our society has this really big
stigma on prostitution as being
really immoral, but then they turn
around and then they're fine with
fornication. And this is not the
way that God looks at things in
the Bible. God is very upset about
fornication in and of itself.
It's not the selling aspect that
bothers God. It's the fact that
people are sleeping together
outside of marriage. That is the
problem, not the fact that money
is being exchanged. Okay. And in
fact, God even rebukes women in
the Bible for sleeping around
saying, you know, you're just like
a whore, except you're not even
making money. And he even insults
them in that way and says, the
difference between you and a
prostitute is that at least a
prostitute's getting paid. And he
roasts them in that way in
Ezekiel chapter 16, for example.
And so, you know, obviously the
world has their standard of what
right and wrong is, but the Bible
has a superior standard and the
Bible is not just condemning
women for selling their bodies.
He's also condemning them for
hopping in the sack with the guy
that they're not married with too
in general. But sometimes there
could be a double standard where
Christians, churches, or even
society could be negative towards
loose women, promiscuous women,
easy women, women who have sex
outside of marriage, and then it
can turn around and kind of give
a pass to guys who do the same
thing. Or to somehow act like a
girl who does that is sleazy, but
a guy who does that is somehow
macho, or he's a Casanova, or he's
a pimp daddy, mac daddy, whatever.
And they basically would almost
glorify this in men. And just as
they would shame women for
engaging in this activity, they
would then turn around and
glorify men like, that a boy or
something, you know. And let me
tell you something, in God's
economy, it is equally sinful, it
is equally shameful on both sides.
It also is something that you
should be ashamed of and something
that you should not be doing as a
young man and don't think somehow,
well, because I'm a young man, it's
not a big deal, you know, the girls
should stay pure, but I'm a young
man, it's normal for me to go out
and sow my wild oats or whatever.
No, my friend, God demands purity
from not just the girls, but also
from the boys as well. And I think
one thing that kind of evidences
this double standard that sometimes
takes place is that I was thinking
about the German language. Where are
my Germans tonight? There we go.
You're going to have to do tonight,
you know. You're going to have to be
my German, you know. So, you know,
it's like in German, the word for a
virgin is a word that really sounds
like it could only be applied to a
girl because it's Jungfrau, which
literally means like, you know, kind
of young lady, but when you put it
together, when you put the Jung,
young, Frau, lady, if you put it
together, Jungfrau, it's a word that
means virgin. But how do you think
you'd feel as a dude saying like,
I'm a Jungfrau? It doesn't really
sound that great, but that is the
word. It's super weird, but it just
shows that German is a stupid language
in that area, okay? I'm sorry, but it
just is. I like German, I speak German
every day, and, you know, but that's
just dumb. German is actually lacking
in some other areas morally as well.
It's funny how you can look at the
language and see some problems with
the morality of Germany just from the
beginning. And I think that Jungfrau
being virgin and that that being the
word for it kind of shows that it's
like, oh, well, we expect that from the
girls. Well, we need to expect it from
the men as well, okay? And let me prove
that to you. Look, you're already in
Revelation 21, maybe, or actually you're
not, but let's pretend that you were.
And let's go to Revelation 14,
Revelation chapter 14, and we're going
to see that God wants the men to be
virgins as well, okay? When they get
married, they should be a virgin as well.
Look what the Bible says in Revelation
chapter 14 verse 4. It says, these are
they which were not defiled with women,
for they are virgins. And we're talking
about men, and the Bible is using the
word virgins about men. And what's the
opposite of being a virgin as a man?
Being defiled with women, right? So it's
not just women that are being defiled by
committing fornication. It's not just
them that are losing value or that are
cheapening their bodies or cheapening
themselves or selling themselves short.
No, the young men are also cheapening
themselves. They're also selling
themselves short. They are also defiling
themselves by committing fornication.
And that's why in order to not be
defiled, they need to be virgins, right?
Now obviously, if you would flip over to
Hebrews chapter 13, obviously within
marriage this is a godly act. This is a
clean, righteous act. It's not a defiling
act unless you're some weird Catholic
with a bunch of weird hang-ups and you're
probably whipping yourself and getting
in a little box and telling a priest all
your dirty secrets and whatever in that
pagan idolatrous cult that is Roman
Catholicism. And they have all these
weird doctrines that like even within
marriage it's kind of sort of sinful or
something. They're just a bunch of weird
so-called celibate pervert, queer faggots.
Other than that, they're wonderful people.
But the point is that that religion has
a weird view on this subject. And in some
ways their weird view on this subject
has sort of permeated society and culture
sometimes. But we need to get a biblical
view on this subject which is found in
Hebrews chapter 13 verse 4. Marriage is
honorable in all. You see that? Hebrews 13
verse 4. Marriage is honorable in all. And
the bed undefiled, right? And what did it
say about the virgins? They've not defiled
themselves with women but that's talking
about doing it outside of marriage.
Because within marriage it's the opposite.
It's not defiled, right? The bed, the
marriage bed is not defiled but
whoremongers and adulterers God will
judge, right? So the Bible is saying that
for a man to engage in this activity
within marriage with his wife is wholesome
it is undefiled and it is honorable. It
is an honorable activity. However
whoremongers and adulterers God will
judge. Now we're talking about men here
because whoremonger, like I said, is a
male term. The female term would be whore,
the male term would be whoremonger. And
so what the Bible is saying here is that
whoremongers, which would be dudes that
are having sex outside of marriage with
single women and adulterers, dudes that
are having sex outside of marriage with
married women, God will judge, okay? So
these are both directed at a man who
would commit this sin. So God's not just
going to judge the women, he's going to
judge the man as well. He expects purity
on both sides, right? And in fact in that
list, fearful, unbelieving, abominable
murderers and whoremongers specifically
that is a male term. Now of course we
know that male terms in the Bible
typically can be used to refer to both
genders because of the fact that God
isn't just going to spell out every
single time, you know, son or daughter,
you know, and just always fall all over
himself to say that. Obviously if the
Bible says that if you believe in Jesus
you'll be a son of God, you should be
smart enough to know that if you're a
woman you're actually going to be a
daughter of God, right? And he doesn't
have to sit there every single time and
say, you know, he, she or it or whatever
every single time. Or no there is no more
it because now there's only two genders
again. I remember that it's been it's
been declared by executive order that
there are only two genders and two
pronouns now. So I heard I heard a rumor
you know I'm hearing all these things I
don't follow the news or politics because
I figure if something's really important
somebody will tell me about it, you know,
or I'll see the memes about it. If there's
no memeing did it even happen? Is it even
important? And so I heard somebody said
that all the passport applications
because we just we just renewed some
passports for our kids recently and we
were kind of just scoffing at how it
said like you know male female
unspecified you know whatever it gave
like four options for the gender I heard
a rumor that all the passport
applications where they checked one of
those weird boxes are all like on hold
and they're all like getting sent back
because now the federal government is
is not recognizing that anymore thank
God praise God hopefully that they keep
on changing things like that and we
could kind of you know get back at least
halfway to normal in our society and so
the Bible says here in Hebrews chapter
13 verse 4 marriage is honorable in all
right so activities that men and women
do with each other when they're intimate
with one another you know there's
nothing to be ashamed of there's nothing
sinful or unclean or defiling about it
or or like oh man you know it's a you
know a little naughty or whatever no not
really because you're married and so
it's actually a wholesome godly righteous
activity in fact it would be sinful and
wrong for you to not engage in that
activity in the sense that you'd be
depriving your spouse of something that
they want to do and then you're not
doing it well that it's kind of like you
know you're actually sinning by not
engaging in a physical relationship with
your spouse we're supposed to have that
relationship but whoremongers and
adulterers God will judge so this is a
stern warning there are lots of sins
listed in the Bible but one of the ones
that is really rebuked hard in the New
Testament is fornication you know this
is not something that is taken lightly
it's saying no I'm gonna judge you for
this you're not gonna get away with this
and there's a lot of scripture about
fornication in the New Testament you
know if you had to ask the question
which sins are called out the most in
the New Testament fornication is going
to be on that list every single time of
just sheer frequency for being brought
up as something that we as Christians
should not engage in now if you would go
to 1st Corinthians 5 and I remember when
I was a teenager back in the late 90s
and there were Christians in liberal
churches that I went to and even you
know people that were on staff and
everything that would sometimes argue
the possibility that hey maybe sex
outside of marriage is okay and people
would try to act like maybe this isn't
a sin maybe it's fine and part of the
reason why is because they have these
new Bible versions and the new Bible
versions change all these references and
they don't use words like fornication or
whoremonger they get rid of those terms
and a lot of times they'll just use this
blanket term sexual immorality and the
problem with that is that if you study
the word immorality or moral okay it
really just has to do with what is
considered right and wrong by society
you know and in fact there's another
similar word ethics you know and if you
think about the word ethical or ethics
if you look at the root of that word and
I'm kind of a language geek so I'm
always thinking about the etymology of
words and I understand that you know
words don't always mean what their root
is but if you think about ethics it
comes from the same root as like the
word ethnic and it really has to do with
like what's considered right and wrong
by society and you might live in a
different ethnos and have a different
ethos you know what I mean and so you
can see how these words are kind of
connected ethics and then if you think
about the word moral and you could think
about the Spanish word for example those
of you that speak Spanish morar which
has to do with where you live and you
think about social mores and so forth
and so these are habits and customs of a
certain group of people or a certain
geography here's the problem I have with
that is that if you have a Bible that
just condemns sexual immorality well who
decides what that even is who decides
what's that even mean because you could
just say oh that just means you're
paying for it or oh that just means you
don't really love each other oh that
just means that you're not committed or
something no my friend the Bible is
clear it's got to be within marriage and
let the Bible define itself marriage is
honorable at all but here's the other
two ways that you could satisfy that you
can either satisfy that craving within
marriage or it's being a whoremonger an
adulterer there's no third choice of
having some kind of a moral you know
respectful consensual you know thing
outside of marriage the Bible does not
leave room for that and when the Bible
uses the word fornicator or fornication
it is talking about any and all sex
outside of marriage it's not like well
you know it's not really a sin as long
no my friend and these modern Bibles are
confusing people and when I was in these
churches in the late 90s they all had an
NIV in their hand and they were having
trouble like actually figuring out
whether sex outside of marriage was a
sin using their NIV Bibles because of the
fact that it's so vague in what it says
where the King James is clear on this
okay and so we need to understand and
also let me just say this these kind of
false doctrines they're just dumb think
about how dumb it is to think that God's
okay with you having sex outside of
marriage because then you just have a
world full of bastards because if you
have all these people sleeping around
outside of marriage where you can have a
bunch of kids out of wedlock that's not
God's will so how does that even work oh
well you know birth control whatever
where does the Bible teach that where's
the Bible teaching you hey you know go
out and just use birth control no my
friend the Bible is telling you to
abstain outside of marriage and people
will lie and twist scripture to try to
fit their doctrine of convenience but
at the end of the day common sense will
tell you this is stupid and it isn't
going to work and we have a bunch of
idiots today that will try these weird
alternative lifestyles like having an
open marriage and all this stuff and it
just ends up torturing everyone involved
everybody's miserable it spreads a bunch
of disease around it creates a bunch of
bastard children who don't know who their
parents are or they're living with all
these weird creepy step parents and all
these weird situations and bad
situations hey we need to do things God's
way and if you get sucked into one of
these weird teachings whoremongers and
adulterers God will judge and that's you
if you think oh well I think it's okay
and then you have these people saying oh
you know polygamy is okay it's okay to
have two wives or three wives think about
how stupid that is when 50% of the people
on the planet are male and 50% of our
female how is that going to work how it
tell me how is polygamy going to work
when the world is literally split right
down the middle 50-50 so how is a dude
going to have four wives then there's
not going to be enough wives to go
around and that's why if you look at it
every single society that embraces
polygamy ends up with a bunch of teenage
brides and child brides because they
just don't have enough women to go
around to satisfy the greedy dudes who
are not satisfied with one wife like God
prescribed and so if you look at the
fundamental latter-day saints up in
northern Arizona that are practicing
polygamy and of course the brides just
keep getting younger and younger because
it doesn't work it doesn't even make
common sense what makes common sense is
a man and a woman getting married for
life till death do us part and then the
product of that relationship is children
and then those children are growing up
in a nuclear family with a mom and a dad
that is God's will and it's foolishness
to try to justify your sin and say well
you know I'm in a committed
relationship hey it better be called
marriage it better be legal you better
have a marriage certificate you better
have it sanctified in the eyes of God
and in the eyes of man and not just be
out there being a whoremonger being an
adulterer you'd better do it legally and
do it right and do it in a godly way and
marriage is the option here you're
either you're either doing it in
marriage or you're a whoremonger an
adulterer that's what the Bible is saying
and so if you would flip over to 1st
Corinthians 5 we don't even have time to
look at all the scripture on
fornication tonight but that's what a
whoremonger is whoremonger is talking
about a fornicator you know whether he's
paying for it or not isn't the issue the
Bible doesn't emphasize that distinction
again the Bible just brings out the fact
that hey you know whether you're paying
for it or not it's wicked it's sinful
it's dirty it's filthy it's wrong that's
what the Bible emphasizes now the Bible
says in 1st Corinthians 5 verse 9 and
really we're gonna look at chapter 5
chapter 6 and chapter 7 all three
chapters deal with this subject and we
could spend time looking at all the
passages in the New Testament we're just
gonna hit the highlights here 1st
Corinthians chapter 5 says in verse 9 I
wrote unto you in an epistle not to
company with fornicators right do not
hang around with fornicators now if this
were just a minor sin if it weren't a
big deal God wouldn't be telling you do
not hang around these people because
everybody's a sinner nobody's perfect
but there are certain sins that he
singles out and says do not company with
fornicators but then he says I wrote
that to you but he has to clarify what
he meant he says yet not all together
with the fornicators of this world or
with the covetous or extortioners or
with idolaters for then machine needs go
out of the world he's saying you know
when I wrote to you not to company with
fornicators and these other type of
really sinful people he's saying you
know I didn't mean the fornicators of
this world because then you'd have to go
out of the world because obviously we're
living in the world people are unsaved
people that are sinful they're going to
be either a fornicator, covetous, idolater,
railer, drunkard in many cases and he's
saying you'd have to go out of the world
he's not saying you'd have to get on a
spaceship you know and go to the moon or
go to Mars that's not what he's thinking
about because obviously that wasn't
possible back then is not even quite
possible yet now but you know maybe it
will be possible soon I guess we'll find
out but you know they're obviously
talking about colonizing the moon
colonizing Mars whatever but it hasn't
happened so far and it certainly wasn't
on Paul's radar at that time was it so
what does he mean when he says you'd
need to go out of the world when he
talks about withdrawing from the world
he's talking about withdrawing from the
inhabited world what he's talking about
is withdrawing from society he's saying
you would have to go out of the world
meaning you'd have to go live in some
cult compound somewhere in the middle of
nowhere you'd have to be a hermit or
living in a monastery you'd have to
isolate yourself from the world as in
the people in the world is what he means
by that right because often when the
Bible says world it's not talking about
the planet it's talking about the people
like when it says God so loved the world
and so he says look you'd have to leave
the world and he said that that's not
what he wants to do and in fact when
Jesus is praying in John 17 he says to
the Father you know I don't want you to
take them out of the world but I want
you to keep them from the evil and so
we are to be in the world but not of the
world and so God does not want us to
withdraw from society and I'm not even
interested in you know strategically
relocating to someplace out in the
middle of nowhere or something you know
I want to live in this great big city of
Phoenix Arizona with five million people
because I'm here to reach people I'm
here to preach to people I'm here to win
the souls of people not to go withdraw
myself and then maybe I can get to
heaven get an award for being the most
super holy person ever that's not what
God wants us to do with our lives he
wants us to reach people with the gospel
in order to do that sometimes you got to
get among the people of this world of
course in order to do that so God's not
trying to remove us from the world so
he's saying look you're gonna be around
fornicators, covetous people, extortioners
idolaters you're gonna interact with
those people it's okay to interact with
those people it's okay to have a meal
with them it's okay to go to their house
it's okay to have them at your house it's
okay to interact with them but here's
the clarification verse number 11 but
now I've written unto you not to keep
company and here's the difference if any
man that is called a brother be a
fornicator so what the Bible is saying
is here is that the people that we
really need to stay away from is not
just sinful people who are engaged in
these big sins like fornication railing
extortion covetousness he says no no no
then you'd have to leave society but he's
saying no no what I'm writing to you is
not to keep company with someone who's
called a brother who's doing those
things right so what's worse is getting
around Christians who are living in
fornication Christians who are idolaters
and so that those are the thing people
that are a saved Christian or at least
people believe that they're a saved
Christian they're claiming to be a saved
evangelical Christian and then they're
doing these things those people should
be ostracized going to the Bible it says
if any man that's called a brother be a
fornicator etc with such a one know not
to eat verse 12 for what have I to do to
judge them also that are without do not
you judge them that are within but then
that are without God judges therefore
put away from among yourselves that
wicked person so the people that we need
to stay away from our Christians who are
living in fornication and these other
sins that tells me that fornication is a
big deal because if someone is a saved
Christian or calling themselves a saved
Christian and they are a fornicator this
is a bad influence on our life that we
need to get out of our life and that's
why the Bible said earlier in the
chapter a little 11 leavens the whole
lump you know you don't want to be
influenced contaminated defiled or
leavened by that influence I mean I mean
imagine you're a teenage boy or a young
adult man and you're trying to live a
pure life you're trying to keep a pure
testimony until your wedding day and
then you're around guys that are out
sleeping with women I mean that's gonna
make it a lot harder for you you know to
to have the right willpower and to stay
on a godly path you know it'd be like if
you're on a diet or something and you're
just hanging around with a guy who's
just eating an ice cream cone all day or
eating candy bars all day or something
you're supposed to be on a diet right
you'd probably be better off hanging
around with a guy who's constantly
exercising self-control exercising
period you know in general and so we
don't want that influence in our lives
go to chapter 6 so fornication is a big
deal and look anybody who tries to tell
you that oh sex outside of marriage is
allowed in Scripture is a fool it's easy
to prove from the Bible there's marriage
and there's fornication there's marriage
there's adultery there's not this thing
of just going out and sleeping with
people that you're not married to and
that somehow that's okay or fine I mean
it's it's madness okay it's it's easy to
debunk from Scripture and it's just a
doctrine of convenience for people who
want to indulge the lust of the flesh
okay and so don't even fall for it for
one second and I'm blaming the modern
versions for their vague wording and
their use of the stupid word immorality
instead of spelling out what we're
talking about fornication okay look at
1st Corinthians chapter number 6 verse
12 it says all things are lawful unto me
but all things are not expedient all
things are lawful for me but I will not
be brought under the power of any meats
for the belly and the belly for meats
but God shall destroy both it and them
now the body is not for fornication but
for the Lord and the Lord for the body
and God has both raised up the Lord and
will also raise up us by his own power
know ye not that your bodies are the
members of Christ now the word member in
this context is a body part right you've
probably heard of someone being
dismembered it means that they lost a
body part okay a body part came off of
their body and so the idea here is that
our bodies are not to be used for
fornication our bodies are to be used
for the service of God our bodies exist
so that we can be on this earth
interacting with this world and serving
God not so that we can just go out and
indulge the flesh in fornication the
body is not for fornication but for the
Lord the Lord for the body okay and it
says your bodies are the members of
Christ meaning that our bodies are
basically the body parts of Christ in
the sense that you know number one we're
the hands and feet that he's using to
get the work of God done in 2025 he's
not physically here on this earth doing
the work we're doing the work and he's
working through us and so we are the
members of Christ but not only that we
have become united with Christ through
salvation okay and not only that we have
been bought with a price and so we
belong to Christ and he owns our bodies
in that sense as well and so we are the
members of Christ and then it says in
verse 15 shall I then take the members
of Christ and make them the members of
harlot God forbid right I mean I'm taking
something that belongs to God my body is
a temple of the Holy Ghost I've been
bought with the price and then I'm going
to take the members of Christ and go
make those the members of a harlot or
unite them physically with a harlot God
forbid what know ye not that he which is
joined to in harlot is one body for two
saith he shall be one flesh but he that
is joined unto the Lord is one spirit so
we are spiritually united with Christ we
have Christ in us Jesus Christ is in our
hearts right Christ in you the hope of
glory that Christ may dwell in your
hearts by faith the Bible says and then
we have Christ in our heart and then
we're gonna go become one flesh with a
harlot God forbid right it's super
wicked it's ungodly it's a defilement of
the temple of God big time it's
disrespectful and defiling of the temple
of God which is why he says in the next
breath and you got to love these little
punchy you know two word type statements
in the Bible flea fornication period
flea fornication what does it mean to
flea fornication fleeing means to run
away and it's not just running away it's
running scared fleeing is when somebody's
after you and you're scared and you're
running as fast as you can to get away
you're trying to escape that's what
fleeing is and the Bible says flea
fornication and so here's the thing if
you are hanging around fornication if
you're opening yourself up to temptations
and making provision for the flesh to
fulfill the lust thereof right you are
very likely to fall into this trap of
fornication it is a sin that is easy to
get into okay because of the fact that
our biology as men and we're focusing on
the men tonight you know we could talk
about the women as well but we're gonna
focus on the men tonight because again
the title of sermon is whoremongers which
is a male term and so focusing on the
men tonight this is sin that's easy to
get into because our biology is wired
for us to desire this type of sin okay
you see men are wired by their DNA their
biology it's it's just inborn it's innate
that men find a multitude of women
attractive and are tempted to commit
fornication a lot big time okay now of
course every once in a while you'll have
some guy that will just lie and claim
that this isn't the case whatever but
you know our people they're just oh I'm
just so holy I just don't even think that
way I don't even look at women that way
I'm just I'm just super righteous super
pious okay whatever that's great but
let's talk to 99% of everybody else and
just understand that this is a temptation
that is common to man you know and and
every once in a while you'll get these
guys that oh you just don't understand
you know I'm special I just you know I
just have this really wild you know
drive or whatever that's just called
being a dude you know what I'm saying
like like you have these guys oh you
don't understand I'm broken or something
no you're not broken that's just how
dudes are but the difference is that you
have to exercise self-control and not
just give in to every animal urge that
you have so don't don't try to think
that you're different and you're special
and all this stuff now look there are
some people who are who do not have a
strong urge in this area and these
people can go through life just being
single and serving God and that's great
but they're the exception not the rule
okay and I'm and that's great I'm not
upset at them except I am upset at them
if they didn't turn around and act like
oh everybody needs to be like me because
see here's the thing the Apostle Paul
was one of these guys that he didn't
mind being signal single but you know
what he said though he said let every
man have his own wife let every woman
have her own husband and he said you
know not everybody has this gift that I
have you know most people need to be
married because of the fact that it's
better to marry than to burn and the
burning is talking about burning with
lust you know it's better to satisfy
that appetite in a natural normal way
within marriage but you know people try
to think sometimes that oh you know I'm
different because I just have all these
urges it's a dude you're there's no
temptation taking you but such as common
to man okay men are wired this way and
and women are not this way typically and
you know I'm so sick of our stupid weird
society that just acts like men and
women are the same men and women are not
the same men and women are wired
different okay and it's like this young
this new generation they they've been
brainwashed they just think men and
women are the same they're not the same
you know what because I guarantee you
that there's probably about a thousand
times as many magazines with a bunch of
naked or half naked women in them
there's probably about a thousand times
more than magazines with dudes looking
that way because women women don't want
to sit around and look at magazines of
dudes like it's just that's just not how
women think you know there's probably
all kinds of filthy establishments all
over Phoenix of strip clubs and all
these places but I guarantee you that
99% of them are geared toward men because
unfortunately you know this is just part
of the male condition that men are
super tempted in these areas and they're
super susceptible to this temptation
because our biology just wants us to
just go out and just have all this
fornication and whatever but God is
asking us sorry God is commanding us to
transcend those physical urges and to
walk in the spirit and to abstain from
fornication and so don't have this
excuse of well God made me this way and
it's just biology you know you can't
just ask the Sun not to shine you just
can't ask the Apple not to fall from the
tree I mean it's just the way it works
you know the water is gonna flow
downhill and it's just gravity and it's
just nature and whatever no my friend
because we're not animals we're humans
and as humans made in the image of God
we have the ability to rein these things
in and not just be like some weird
animal that's just out there just humping
everything and anything no we as a man
as a man a human in the image of God no
we are to control ourselves and to have
dignity and honor and keep ourselves
pure and abstained from fornication and
I'd say well you know I just have to
check out every babe because that's just
my biology you know what that is your
biology but you know what I am more than
biology I am a soul I am a man I'm not
an animal and so no I don't have to just
check out every babe and just be out
there tempted by these things I can
transcend what the flesh is telling me
to do and I can walk in the spirit and
so you know obviously this is something
that's easy for men to get involved in
which is why the Bible says you got a
flea fornication okay in fact if you go
back to Proverbs it talks about the
strange woman greeting this guy and she
kind of catches the guy off guard a
little bit she just grabs him and kisses
him right out of the gate and then the
Bible talks about how she seduces him
and entices him back to her place and it
says that she quote forced him now when
it says that she forced him she's not
stronger than him right that's not what
it's saying but I'm telling you the
temptation is so strong that the Bible
is metaphorically using the language oh
she forced him and so obviously yeah
women aren't gonna physically overpower
you but if you allow yourself to get in
these compromising situations and you
allow yourself to be seduced and you
allow yourself to be manipulated like
that you know you may not be able to
stop yourself unfortunately and you need
to run out of there you need to literally
literally run away and flee fornication
you need a literally flee fornication
and this is what Joseph does back in the
book of Genesis right because Potiphar's
wife is throwing herself at him and he
literally runs out of there she grabs
his clothes as he's running out and she
rips part of his clothing off his body
and she's left holding his outer garment
as he runs screaming in the other
direction and that is a symbol of what
we are supposed to do we are supposed to
flee fornication do not put yourself in
these compromising situations do not
hang around with these sleazy girls and
here's the thing you know hopefully if
you're a Christian young man and you're
dating a Christian young lady hopefully
one of you is at least gonna have the
godliness and the self-control to put a
stop to anything before it turns into
fornication but here's the thing let's
say you're a godly young man and you're
deciding okay I'm gonna be pure and I'm
not gonna commit fornication I'm gonna
wait till I'm married but then you're
around some loose chick well then as
soon as you have a weak moment she's
gonna jump on that but what should
happen is that when you have a weak
moment she's there to say no and when
she has a weak moment you're there to
say no and it's like a double fail and
then you need a third fail safe of just
you're in public right and you're not
dating in these kind of behind closed
doors type of places where you could
even get away with committing such an
act so if you have a combination of
godly young man who commit committed to
purity godly young lady committed to
purity and being in a public space you
know now you're gonna avoid fornication
and the thing is that that way even if
the the boys morality slips if her
morality slips well guess what at the
end of the day though hey the other one
will be there to say no but if you're
hanging around with some guy that's
always pressuring you to sleep with
him or something you know then all it
takes is just for you to have one week
day or a moment ladies and then you're
gonna give into that or vice versa you
have some girl that's throwing herself
at you physically you know if you do
that long enough eventually you're gonna
have a weak moment you need to keep
yourself out of these situations and not
just you know run into these situations
you need to run away from these
situations okay and again it's like I
was preaching the other day you know you
need to make sure that you put out a
clear signal and put out a clear vibe
that says that you're committed to
purity and that you're not interested in
fornication or adultery as a man because
women are pretty good at reading reading
those signals and so if you put out that
right vibe then you're gonna save a lot
of trouble right there and so the Bible
says flee fornication okay so especially
you young man I'm preaching to tonight
you know do not hang around with these
loose easy girls they might be fun to
hang around and you think oh I just want
to kind of play with fire see how close
I can get or whatever nah man you are
playing with fire you're gonna get
burned and you need to stay away from
those kind of girls and be around girls
that are also committed to purity like
you are they also have a Christian view
of this subject so it says every sin that
a man do it is without the body meaning
outside of his body but he that committed
fornication sinneth against his own body
right so what the Bible saying here is
you are hurting yourself when you commit
fornication you are harming yourself you
are doing yourself a disservice do not
do it and then he says what know you not
that your body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost which is in you which you have of
God and you are not your own for you're
bought with a price therefore glorify God
in your body and in your spirit which
are gods now that's the end of chapter
six but then we could roll directly into
chapter seven right and it says in the
very next verse now concerning the things
wherever you wrote unto me it's good for
a man not to touch a woman and you know
it's always kind of wish you could get
like the Corinthian letters back to Paul
because we're kind of reading like one
side of the correspondence but he says
hey it's good for a man not to touch a
woman nevertheless to avoid fornication
let every man have his own wife and let
every woman have her own husband so
again how do you avoid fornication by
being married which proves that what is
fornication sex outside of marriage again
it you don't have to be a genius to look
at these verses and see that that's what
we're talking about and that that's the
definition of the word fornication and so
he says look the way that you avoid
fornication is by every man having his
own wife and every woman having her own
husband because the idea here is that if
you satisfy this urge within its proper
boundaries then it's not going to be as
tempting right what does the Bible say
the full soul loathes and honeycomb but
to the hungry soul every bitter thing is
sweet and so if I already ate at home
I'm not going to be tempted to spend a
bunch of money on eating out if I can't
afford it you know I remember when I was
first married my wife and I had no money
my wife's budget for one week for
groceries and toiletries and just basic
household needs was $40 per week for the
whole week for both of us if you can
imagine that okay so she had 40 bucks to
spend to feed us by cleaning supplies so
I mean we just had no money you know we
lived in just a one-bedroom apartment we
got a mattress on the floor you know we
have a car that we're sharing and you
know we had everything we needed can't
complain we were super happy just to be
with each other just to be married and
those were wonderful times but we had no
money so eating out was unthinkable even
just a fast food or something like a lot
of people today you know maybe just take
it for granted just constantly buying the
fun little drinks and Oh Starbucks and
frozen yogurt and get a burrito get a
burger whatever I mean to me like eating
off the roach coach was just a luxury
that I couldn't afford it was just it
was just it was just not happening so we
had no money so it was like and it was
tempting sometimes because I would be in
a situation where all the other guys are
all going out to eat and I have to go
out to eat with them and I'm sitting
there at the table with them while
they're all and I can't order anything
because I have no money okay and I don't
want to just like spend up the family's
money when there's so little to go
around and waste it in that way so you
know occasionally if I did have to in a
bind get food out I'd go to Taco Bell I
get to bean burritos and get them double
wrapped so two tortillas on each bean
burrito and it was like less than two
dollars back then and I'd be stuffed you
know so that was like but even then that
was too much of a splurge man and so
here's the secret you say well what did
you do pastor Anderson when you're
constantly going out to breakfast with
these people and there they'll take you
out to you know sometimes there'd be a
business breakfast or or you know
everybody's going to the roach coach
everybody's going to lunch here's what I
had to do I had to just bring a lot of
food from home I had to eat a big
breakfast at home bring a big lunch full
of food and then there's no temptation
because you're full so I had to get full
in the right way to avoid spending money
I didn't have eating out of the house
because it's a thousand times easier to
say no to Burger King and no to Long
John Silver's and those things if you've
already had your sandwich that you
packed from home everybody understand
that concept pretty simple concept right
well guess what you need to eat the
sandwich at home and here's the thing
just as with this analogy and I think
this is a great analogy to be honest
because here's the thing about that is
that idiots think that fast food is
better than eating at home am I right
sorry I know it's like super quiet in
here this is I just said the wrong thing
I've made a terrible mistake I'm so
sorry so so sorry no because guess what
you know who you know always thinks that
fast food is better than eating at home
kid little kids because foolishness is
bound in the heart of a child but let me
tell you something it's dumb to think
that fast food is better than eating
nutritious home-cooked healthy meals and
you think fast food and I'm not talking
about a nice restaurant I'm talking like
they think McDonald's they think Wendy
they think jack-in-the-box is better
than eating at home they think that's a
step up they think Chuck E Cheese is a
step up right now wouldn't you say that
a more intelligent person says you know
what the food that I'm getting at home
is better than this fast food that's
available wouldn't you say that smarter
people probably eat at home more and
dumber people probably more fast food
in general I'm sorry to hurt your
feelings I'm not saying you're dumb not
saying you're dumb okay I'm just saying
statistically you're the exception that
proves the rule you're that super smart
person that eats fast food every day but
I'm just saying I believe that about you
but what I'm saying is though that don't
you think if we're honest in general
wouldn't you say that in general if we
were to go around and take a survey and
then we took it out and everybody took a
test on intelligence probably the
smarter people probably eat at home more
or at least eat better food and it's
probably a demographic that's not as
smart that's eating a bunch of fast food
and outright because here's the thing
it's kind of dumb to think that somehow
fast food is going to be better than what
you're eating at home right well let me
tell you something else that's dumb it's
dumb to think that fornication is going
to be more enjoyable than that
relationship within marriage that's also
dumb you're dumb too if you think that
if you think that the ultimate in
enjoyment is going to be you out there
with some skank that you bring home from
some bar or from some club or that you
meet up with on some app or something if
you really think that that's going to be
more fun and more enjoyable and actually
a better encounter than what you can get
at home you know you're stupid now
here's the thing I guarantee you say well
you know I that you know that's just
your opinion but here's the thing about
that is that what you have to understand
is that the quality of the food at home
does kind of vary from house to house
doesn't it and I also have a feeling that
probably dumber people also probably
have a lot crappier food in their house
than smarter people smarter people are
probably cooking things that are more
nutritious and healthy and just of a
better quality and probably dumb people
are you know they are making all kinds
of weird struggle meals at their house
or whatever you know what I'm saying and
so here's here's the point that I'm
trying to get I hope I'm not losing you
in the food illustration and that you're
actually remembering like what we're
actually talking about because the idea
the idea here is that you know the wise
man is able the wise woman is able to
put together a quality meal in the home
that is economical and nutritious and
delicious and let me tell you something
the best meals are eaten at home period
and I'm not just saying that because I'm
married to a world-class cook because I
literally am but here's the thing about
that you know I went to Armenia for four
weeks and in four weeks I ate at all
kinds of different restaurants I ate all
kinds of meals the best meal that I ate
the whole time I was in Armenia was when
the pastor invited me to eat with his
family and they made a home-cooked meal
and the food was incredible and it was
way better than any restaurant I ate at
the whole time I was there just blew me
away how good the food was let's face it
the home the best meals that you have in
your life are at home right so here's
the thing the wise man the wise woman
are actually putting in time and effort
because guess what these really good
home-cooked meals they don't make
themselves do they they take all kinds
of time and effort and love to put
together these really high quality meals
I mean my wife spends a lot of time in
the kitchen putting together these
really good meals putting in the effort
that's why the food at home is so good
so then my kids back I've got to go to
Chipotle I'm like mom is literally
making Mexican food tonight why would I
get Chipotle when there's literally
tacos themselves at home right now
waiting for me why would I eat at Chipotle
when there's a chimichanga homemade at
home right now it would be madness now
look I love Chipotle everybody who knows
I love Chipotle I've eaten at Chipotle
several times in the past few days but
that's because my wife's out of town and
I was out of town in Oklahoma so you
know I got guys got to eat but I would
never in a million years prefer Chipotle
to my wife's Mexican food that she's
making but again it's because my wife's
putting in the time and the effort and
so here's what I'm saying is that within
marriage you can tag summits and reach
mountain peaks and and and and have
sublime experiences that will transcend
anything that all these bunch of dirty
whores and whoremongers are out there are
experiencing and thinking oh yeah we're
having so much fun and and you know yeah
whatever we're going to hell but who
cares because we're having so much fun
no I'm having more fun you know but
again what's it gonna take it's gonna
take more effort it's gonna take love
it's gonna take time it's gonna take
effort just like making the good home
cooked meals takes effort but you know
what if you put in the time if you put
in the effort if you put in the energy
you know you can have the best possible
relationship at home and then if you are
having a proper relationship with your
spouse at home adultery is not a
temptation hardly at all you know what
I mean it's like it's not even a thing
you see the guys that are just really
struggling with you know temptations to
commit adultery or really struggling
with temptations to look at porno or
whatever you know it's because they're
not eating at home typically you know
and so you got to put effort into that
relationship and both man and woman they
both need to put effort into that
relationship and make that relationship
what it should be so that they can sit
down and have a good quality home-cooked
meal because then the full soul loathes
at the honeycomb and the Bible talks
about how the lips of the strange woman
the harlot her lips are sweeter than
honeycomb but if you're full you're not
tempted right and so I understand that
nobody's life is ever gonna be perfect
nobody's marriage is ever gonna be
perfect marriage has its ups and downs
sometimes the cupboards are stocked well
sometimes the cupboards are a little
bare sometimes there are gonna be lean
times I'm not trying to create some kind
of a false reality that oh yeah you're
just gonna eat awesome meals at home all
the time every day it's gonna be great
no sometimes you're not gonna have a
good meal at home and you're still gonna
have to skip the fast food and you're
still gonna have to just suck it up and
just get through it I'm not saying this
is always gonna work but in general it's
gonna be a lot easier to withstand
temptation and a lot easier to stay pure
if you're married than if you're single
and if you're married and if you are
engaging in this relationship because
there's thing if you're if you're married
but you're not having a physical
relationship with your wife this doesn't
work like how is this gonna help you
stay pure if you're not even doing the
activity that doesn't make sense it'd be
like oh well you know I'm not I don't
have to eat out because there's all this
food at home but if you're not eating it
you're not eating the food at home is
that really gonna help you not be
lusting after the Burger King and and
Wendy's and Jack in the Box if there's
food at home that you didn't eat no
because there has to be food at home but
then you also have to eat the food at
home you know and and and here's the
thing you know sometimes you know you
need to really eat that big breakfast
and pack that lunch and everything
because then that way you know it's just
gonna be way easier now look whether it's
easy look sometimes I had the packed
lunch and it was super easy other times
I didn't have a lunch and I had to just
sit there just watching my friends eating
all this food at work and I'm just like
so hungry and then that's where just
self-control has to kick in and you just
have to say no anyway so obviously
failure is not an option when it comes
to keeping yourself pure I mean you got
to keep yourself pure is a big
fornication the big sin adultery is a
big sin failure is not an option but why
don't you set yourself up for success by
getting married and indulging in this
relationship within its proper context
in marriage okay and again I understand
everybody's life isn't gonna be perfect
everybody's marriage isn't gonna be
perfect they're gonna be ups and downs
good times and bad times but I will say
this within a godly righteous committed
marriage the mountain peaks that you
will reach the summits that you will tag
will I promise you surpass what's out
there amongst the the horror mongers and
whores this one you know I don't have to
go out and experience it to know that
because common sense tells me that and
my reading of the Bible tells me that
and so I don't have to figure that out
myself and if you're smart you'll just
believe me when I tell you that and by
the way young people you know you're
listening to a 40 some year old man up
here talking to you right now you're
listening to a 43 year old man who's
been successfully married for 25 years
who was pure on his wedding day right I
did not commit fornication I went to my
marriage pure and I have been
successfully married for 25 years and
faithful to my wife for the last 25
years and not only that I deal with
people for a living and I deal with
people all the time and I've dealt with
their problems and I've dealt with
issues and so look if you're smart
teenagers and young people you will
listen to me because I know what I'm
talking about and I am right and I'm
telling you the truth you know and you
need to listen to my counsel as coming
from your elder brother in Christ who
has been down the road and done things
right and understood what these things
mean and I am telling you that I am
right about this and you know because
sometimes teenagers oh you're different
you just don't know or what what do you
know what is it what a mom and dad know
well I don't know they they must have
known something because they produced
you and if they're still married then
they sounds like they've been married
for a while you know and if they're even
if they're not still married you know
they have more experience with these
things than you do Oh teenager and so
yeah your parents do know more about
this and let me tell you something you
know life is really simple when you're a
teenager life gets a lot more
complicated as you get older and so it's
pretty easy for little teenagers to
stand in judgment of their parents and
stand in judgment of other adults and
their pastor and different people but
you know what at the end of the day you
get into your 30s you get into your 40s
you get into your 50s you're gonna find
out that you know there's a little more
to life than you think and you need to
be smart and listen to counsel listen to
instruction listen to the words of the
wise and their dark sayings okay I'm
giving you a parable right now I'm
speaking to you words of wisdom that are
in line with what the scriptures
teaching what does the Bible say I mean
let's get back to the Word of God to
avoid fornication let every man have his
own wife let every woman have her own
husband let the husband render unto the
wife do benevolence and likewise also
the wife unto the husband you know I
heard one of these bozo idiot pastors
who's been attacking me lately he
literally got up and preached his pastor
said do benevolence means being nice
it's talking about being nice or it's
like what the heck are you really that
stupid does Paul just have to spell it
out for you he's talking about having
sex with your spouse he's not saying be
really nice it's like come on dude
really get a clue the Bible is using
euphemism the Bible is not going to get
graphic for you sorry that I had to get
graphic there but I have to because you
got these bozo pastors out there teaching
stupid foolish feminist garbage and then
they're like well do benevolence that
just means being nice I'm sorry I don't
want my wife to just be nice to me you
know I mean my wife being nice to me
isn't gonna do it I'm looking for a
little more than that alright there's a
little more benevolence that's due you
know and she's gonna have to pay the
piper and it's not gonna be by niceness
what the heck that's not the currency
that I'm looking for but it says that
the husband shall render unto the wife
do benevolence and likewise also the
wife under the husband this is saying
that you know he needs to fulfill that
physical need that she has and vice
versa she needs to fulfill his physical
need and then it says this it says the
wife hath not power of her own body but
the husband and likewise also the
husband hath not power of his own body
but the wife defraud ye not one the
other except to be with consent for a
time that you may give yourselves to
fasting and prayer and come together
again watch this that Satan tempt you
not for your incontinency see God
understands that there is a tendency in
men possibly in women of incontinency
not being able to contain yourself and
giving into these temptations of the
lust of the flesh and so the Bible is
saying look you don't want Satan to
tempt you for your incontinency so
here's the best way for Satan not to
tempt you is that the wife renders do
benevolence to the husband the husband
renders do benevolence to the wife and
then Satan's not gonna be able to tempt
you for your incontinency it's like you
know he holds out that bag of Wendy's and
you're just like not today Satan because
I just ate an awesome meal at home now
look even if you didn't eat the awesome
meal at home you still can't have the
Wendy's amen it's not an excuse well I
didn't you know my wife didn't render do
benevolence so you know here I am eating
at Wendy's no man you still never have
an excuse to commit adultery right you
don't have an excuse to commit these
heinous sins but why would you want to
make it hard on yourself when you can
make it easy on yourself right why would
you just want to put yourself in a
position where it's difficult when you
could make things easy and that's why
investing in your marriage and marital
relationship is the best way to avoid
these temptations according to the Bible
and I'm not the author of the Bible you
know all pastor Anderson's got these
really extreme teachings on marriage you
know pastor Anderson's got these really
wild and imbalanced teachings on
marriage really because this is straight
out of the Bible I mean who here has a
Bible in your lap right now you got a
Bible in your hand you got a Bible in
your lap yeah so so there's no faith
required in what I'm saying all you need
is faith in the Word of God right
everybody got the same Bible the Bible
literally says the wife hath not power
of her own body now if I get up and
preach that people say oh I'm radical
I'm imbalanced no here's how I balance
that the husband doesn't have power over
his body see how balanced that is perfect
balance totally balanced and then you
know because I said that the wife doesn't
have the right to say no to her husband
and that she has to sleep with her
husband and he doesn't have to get her
consent and you know you know it is this
okay honey is this okay may I kiss you
honey you know is this alright just stop
me at any time we're married idiot okay
that's not how interactions with my wife
go but this is our weird stupid brain
dead society there you know you want to
know why they're so into consent is
because they're a bunch of fornicators
you know and so like for example you
know there's all these training videos
that you'll see at your job or kids that
are going to college they watch all
these training videos at their colleges
and universities and literally I watched
one of these training videos for Arizona
State University I watched the training
video and it was literally it showed a
guy and a girl on a date and they're
like and he's like is you know is this
okay you know is this okay and then he's
may I kiss you sure you know is this
okay you know because basically what are
they talking about they're talking about
young people that aren't married
fornicating and basically they're trying
to say you know we don't want a bunch of
people raping each other or whatever so
therefore you know we got to have all
this consent everything folks that is a
culture that is outside of God's Word
and marriage someone married married
people don't talk about consent what
kind of a weird lesbian relationship are
you in the heck is that who could say I
let me get you call your wife your
partner you know you if you talk about
your partner you better be in an LLC you
know it's like like a guy said to me the
other day my partner and I just
instantly thought is this guy a faggot
or what you know but I'm like no man I
got to give this guy to benefit out
hopefully he's just straight and he's
just talking like a faggot oh my part
got a good consent from my partner it's
like shut up faggot I'm gonna sleep with
my wife whenever I want I got her
consent on the wedding day and guess
what my wife can sleep with me whatever
she wants and she doesn't need my
consent you know I don't have to do that
little consent app or whatever it proved
that we're both sober and everything and
whatever we're always sober anyway so
it's not the issue you know the closest
thing to being inebriated in my house is
just when people get a little sleep
deprived and you know and start losing
their better judgment you know but the
point is the Bible literally says the
wife has not power of her own body her
husband has power over her body she
doesn't have the right to say well this
is my body my choice no no that body is
my body but but then oh and I have been
preaching so imbalanced well no here's
the balance she can say the same thing
she owns my body can't be like oh don't
touch me you know right and you say well
I don't know this preachings radical you
know what I'm sorry but why do you even
go to church here if you're that stupid
I have to wonder are you really that
stupid that you can't understand this
passage I don't understand how you're
going to understand the rest of the
Bible that I preach this might just not
be the church for you if you're this
brain dead and stupid that think oh but
husbands are raping their wives and well
you know it's like you're an idiot okay
and there's the door and it has a push
bar now so you can get out even faster
the city made us put in all these stupid
push bars I'm sorry but you know what I
I've I've dedicated my life to this
church for the last 20 years not so that
I could babysit a bunch of brain dead
idiots it's so that I can preach the
Word of God to actual spirit-filled
Christians who want to learn what the
Bible says and don't give a rip what the
world out there says or thinks about it
and it'd be one thing if this were a
gray area if this were something that
were hard to understand if this were
something that were unclear this is the
clearest passage in the Bible that I've
ever seen okay like it I I have zero
doubt that I'm right about this there
are other doctrines that I preach where
I'm 99% 98% this I'm a hundred percent
because again you have to just be a
feminist or a libtard or an idiot to not
see what is right in front of your face
in this passage and you know I had one
of these women come to me one time say
oh my husband raped me I said oh really
why were you refusing to have sex with
your husband oh well actually before that
it was before we were married okay well
then I guess that makes you an idiot for
marrying a guy who raped you idiot but
she's a liar because she's just lying
and making crap up because people lie
all the time and you know what this thing
oh my husband rape it's impossible for
your husband to rape you because he's
your husband and you know what I would
say yeah oh I heard this horror story
about a husband rape is what that sounds
like a horror story about a wife refusing
to have sex with her husband's what it
sounds like to me there's the door
anybody anybody want to leave right now
we can all know who all the little
weenies are who are who are henpecked
weirdos you can get up and leave right
now we can all laugh at you loser because
you know what the Bible says marriage is
honorable and all the Bible says the
wife has no power of her body but the
husband the husband has no bar over the
body but the wife and so no my wife and
I are engaged in a marital relationship
where you know I meet her needs and she
meet my needs and it's not optional it's
not if I feel like it it's not if she
feels like it's just we need to be there
for each other and be selfless and not
self-centered and help each other out
and take care of each other in these
situations and look I could sit there
and give a bunch of disclaimers and
caveats right now I'm not going to because
I don't care because I want idiots to
leave I don't want to be surrounded by
fools I don't want to be surrounded by
feminist libtards because those kind of
little weenies that get all yeah I get
all uncomfortable when pastor Anderson
preaches hard when he preaches the Bible
I get on cover those are the same people
that put me in the nut house I don't
want to go to the nut house again okay I
don't want to go back to the nut house
and these little faggot II little French
people who basically will will get
offended by this kind of preacher or the
same kind of people they're gonna give
me sent to the nut house again I don't
want to go back to the nut house so why
don't you just hit the road Jacques and
don't you come back no more and look
nobody is telling anybody to be to be
rough or rude or violent with their
spouse idiot okay what they're what
they're saying what we're saying is hey
if your wife wants to have a relationship
with you you need to be there for her
and vice versa and you know what's funny
is that over the years as a pastor you
know people come to me with all kinds of
problems and they come to me with all
kinds of issues because I've pastored a
large church for many many years now and
I obviously a lot of people all over the
country look to me and send emails and
look up and you know what's funny is
that more I've had more women come to me
and say that they're having a problem in
their marriage where their husband is
refusing to fulfill this need for them
than men it's true and I'm not talking
about a little bit I'm saying
dramatically more it's it's men who are
refusing to fill this need for their
wife more than the other way around in
my experience as a pastor in 20 years of
pastoring but I don't know what I'm
talking about right but but but so you
know it's just ah it's just all these
bad men and and you know oh the poor
little women and their evil bad abusive
men no my friend because it's a two-way
street 1st Corinthians 7 it's a
two-way street and guess what women they
need this relationship too sometimes they
might want it more sometimes they might
want it less you know and and you could
even maybe argue that they want it less
in general okay I'm not gonna argue with
that but at the end of the day though
you know there are have been many times
in my experience where women are being
defrauded in this area in fact like I
said I've had dramatically more women in
my experience that I've seen that we're
being defrauded in this area than men
saying you know what do we do here why
what do we do here why why is our
relationship messed up why doesn't my
husband want to be intimate with me more
than the other way around so you could
get up here and say that I'm just this
big bad scary evil Pastor Anderson being
mean to women but you know what maybe
I'm actually going to bat for women that
want their husband to hop in the sack
with them do you ever think about that
because in 1st Corinthians 7 it's
apparently a two-way street now I don't
I don't understand how I could get any
more balance than that this is like the
most balanced verse in the whole Bible
because if you think about it lots of
verses about marriage are imbalanced
because they're saying the husband is
the head of the wife the wife is to obey
her husband that's not a balance that's
male authority but when it comes to the
bedroom it is balanced but they're their
balance is like oh well you know you
need to ask your wife permission before
impregnating her and you got to ask your
wife's permission it's her body and you
got to ask you know may I please
impregnate you and you know may I please
pretty please and this is what they say
if your wife refuses to go to bed with
you you just need to take her out to
dinner you know we can't always afford
that and then and then what happens is
now the due benevolence becomes a weapon
it becomes weaponized where we're like
oh here's how I'm gonna get that new
pair of shoes here's how I'm gonna get
that credit card here's how I'm gonna
get that vacation here's how I'm gonna
get that out to dinner all I have to do
is just clam up for a while right and
it's like hey if you want business to be
open then you know you're gonna have to
wine and dine me and then you have a
bunch of idiot fools getting up behind
the pulpit and teaching this crap and
saying oh oh your wife doesn't want to
be intimate with you that's just you
it's your fault because you're not
whining and dining or enough spend more
money spend money buy things wine and
dine her no my and look let me tell you
something I love my wife and guess what
my wife's not even here so I'm not up
here preaching like you know all right
honey you know I'm not trying to fix my
wife because my wife doesn't have a
problem in this area I'm trying to help
other people that need this preaching I
don't need this preaching I'm not up
here preaching for myself I already know
this and my wife already knows this
we've known this for years we have a
great marriage we have a successful
marriage for decades now she's not even
here and I know how she is she when
she's here she loves my preaching but
she's probably not gonna download this
sermon and I'm not gonna be like hey you
need to hear this one or something
because it's like in our house it's
already settled friend okay I'm up here
preaching for you I'm helping you out in
internet land even you hating weirdos
creeps that are hating on me you need to
hear this too because at the end of the
day okay this marital relationship is a
big reason for divorce it's a big
problem for a lot of people it's a big
temptation for a lot of people because
of the fact that they're not getting the
right teaching okay and you have men and
women that are not rendering this as a
benevolence that's due but instead it's
something that has to be earned it's
something that's weaponized because men
have to earn the right I guess I have to
earn the right every time I want to
sleep with my wife right now man you
know how I earned that right by being
her husband and I don't have to wine or
done it listen anybody who knows me in
real life anybody who knows my family if
my wife were here she would know this
obviously you know I love to wine and
dine my wife I take my wife out to eat
all the time now that we can afford it
you know there were times when we
couldn't afford it but yeah I'll take
her out to eat whenever I'll spend time
with her whenever you know I'd love to
treat her well and be nice to her and
you know what I'm not one of these
husbands that just like never changes a
diaper or something you know what I mean
and I'm not against you if you're that
kind of husband because you know it's
not necessarily your job but you know
what hey I love changing diapers helping
out around the house you know helping
out wherever I can be in a but you know
what the second that my wife started
commanding me to change a diaper or
telling me that I have to change a
diaper or telling me that I have to take
her out to eat I'd be like nope forget
it you know what I mean and here's the
thing men should do good unto their
wives because they love them and be kind
unto them and give them gifts and take
them out and help them out and do favors
for them not because they're being
forced to do it and coerced to do it
because that is a backward relationship
where the wife is the boss and that's
why we have so many jokes in our society
about the wife being the boss I gotta
ask the boss the old ball and chain you
know what those jokes are based on
reality those jokes are based on truth
that's why they're even funny okay and
it's sad today with these backwards
relationships where women are the ones
that are controlling their husbands and
extorting gifts out of their husbands
and extorting favors out of their
husbands and extorting help around the
house out of their husband by withholding
that physical relationship and
weaponizing it it is wicked it is fraud
it is ungodly and it isn't right and you
know what I'm sorry but I will never
side with a woman against her husband
because oh he's not being nice no no no
he's the boss and you know what's funny
is I've been counseling people for 20
years as a pastor and you know what I've
never do I never side with children
against their parents I never side with
wives against their husband so put that
in your Pope and smack it because I just
don't go find so you'll find some other
watered-down little sissified queer
little sissy pastor that'll side with
you against your parents and side with
you against your husband and side with
you against your boss you've come to the
wrong place because I support biblical
authority around here I just do all
right beloved let's turn to one more
scripture just very briefly very
quickly let's look at first Thessalonians
for we got off on a little bit of
tangent there I have no regrets I have
to just keep bringing this Bell I said
2025 is the year of doubling down on
every doctrine I preach that people
don't like you know you don't like hey
he that hath an ear let him hear anybody
who is offended by what I'm saying is
offended by 1st Corinthians 7 because it
is not a vague passage it's extremely
clear and look I love my wife more than
any other person on this planet I'm not
saying you know what I mean by that I
love her more than I love any other
person on this planet I'm not claiming
to be more loving than you are or
something I'm saying I love my wife more
than I love anyone else on this planet I
love to help her out I love to do favors
for her but you know what I do not let
my wife push me around tell me what to
do and extort favors out of me and I do
not and not that she would try to do
that I'm just saying that's not the way
our relationship has worked does work or
ever will work it will work that way
over my dead body and you know people
can say oh you know this preaching that
do I have to be preaching you know what's
funny is how many people come to me and
tell me how much this preaching has
helped their marriage you know for every
little lying piece of crap like Colin
Schneider out there there are a whole
bunch of people coming to me and telling
me hey your preaching has helped my
marriage our marriage is better than
ever our marriage was saved by this kind
of preaching because it's the Word of
God and the Bible is always right about
every subject every single time and I've
been preaching it I'm gonna keep
preaching it and I don't care if people
like it I don't care if my channel gets
deleted I don't care if some you know
big tech company doesn't think that my
preaching is appropriate wants to censor
me everywhere well you know what if you
don't like it then walk away but I will
never stop preaching what the Bible
explicitly says and the reason I love
to just really double down on this
particular subject is because I really
love preaching stuff where I just know
beyond any of a shadow of a doubt that
I'm a hundred percent right because it
feels good feels good you know and then
look look I you know I got my beliefs
about the tribulation and the rapture
and Babylon and and you know Revelation
12 and Revelation 14 but you know I've
never been on firmer ground than I've
been on for the last 30 minutes in my
entire ministry I've never been on firmer
ground than what I've just preached for
the last 30 minutes first Thessalonians
for the Bible says in verse 2 for you
know what Commandments we gave you by
the Lord Jesus for this is the will of
God even your sanctification that you
should abstain from fornication and this
is the part I love here that every one
of you should know how to possess his
vessel in sanctification and honor so
we're off of marriage now let's get back
to the main subject
okay there's nothing cool or macho or
honorable about being a whoremonger about
you know being this womanizer or
whatever being this pickup artist or
whatever you want to call yourself
macdaddy pimp daddy whatever there's
nothing cool or honorable about that you
know what the Bible says that we should
know how to possess our vessel what is
our vessel it's talking about our
physical body you know this is a vessel
it's a container vessel means container
it's a container that houses our soul
houses our spirit and houses the Spirit
of God and we need to know how to bear
this container this vessel this shell of
our body we need to know how to bear
this vessel in sanctification and honor
we need to be honorable respectable men
and don't have this double standard
expecting girls to be pure when you're
not going to be pure yourself young man
you need to keep yourself pure sorry
Moses but you need to be a Jungfrau okay
well you know I'm just kidding I know
don't you hate that language but anyway
the point is you know we've got to be
honorable men as well and you say well
I've already screwed up because I've
already committed for an occasion well
then you know what time to push a reset
button and be pure from here on out and
have honor and respect yourself and
respect your girlfriend and respect the
people around you and be pure and free
from fornication do not be a whoremonger
and you know why nobody knows this word
is because we need to bring back these
concepts the reason the words are going
away is because the concept is going
away unfortunately because now we've
replaced the word whoremonger with what
pimp mack daddy what dog you got that
dog in you or something you know all
this stupid that you know trying to make
it seem cool or positive you're not a
pickup artist you're a whoremonger you
lack honor you are defiled let's buy
rides and have a word of prayer father
we thank you so much for your word Lord
God please help us to keep ourselves
pure Lord I pray that these single guys
the teenagers and the young men would
realize that our life is just a vapor
and that if they would just hang in
there and hang on for a few more years
they can indulge in this relationship
righteously within marriage for the rest
of their lives help them to get control
over their biology for the next few
years until they can satisfy that urge
righteously within marriage Lord for
those that are already married Lord I
pray that you would bless every marriage
and help every husband wife to love each
other and to care about each other and
be unselfish enough to take care of each
other in this area in order that Satan
might be foiled in his attempts to get
us to defile ourselves Lord help us to
keep ourselves pure as singles and also
to keep ourselves pure within marriage
and in Jesus name we pray amen
amen all right everybody take your
hymnals please go to him number 315 will
be dismissed and singing 315 take my
life and let it be number 315

consecrated Lord to me him number 315

take my life and let it be consecrated
Lord to me take my hands and let them
move at the impulse of thy love at the
impulse of thy love take my feet and let
them be swift and beautiful for thee
