what I understand so praise God for that and then just remember that coming up
real soon is brother Theodore's grandmother's shoulder surgery man I've
had a shoulder surgery when I was 16 it was not fun I remember I had a shoulder
surgery and the recovery process was basically for the first week for the
first couple weeks I had to sleep sitting up then I had to do physical
therapy where I could do like a circle with my arm then like the next week I
could do a bigger circle month later I could do a bigger circle so it's like
it's not a fun process so definitely be praying for her because that is a tough
surgery that's the only new ones that I see there so at this time let's go ahead
and go to the Lord in prayer Lord again we want to thank you for
anchor Baptist Church and the opportunity to come together freely to
praise your name to hear God's Word preached and to bring our requests to
you as a church family we want to thank you for Whitney's grandfather's surgery
that everything went well I just pray that no cancer would resurface for him
that you would help him to physically recover from his surgery and I pray that
he would be doing well and Lord we pray for our church members who are out sick
and traveling right now that you just heal people who need to be healed that
you'd keep everyone safe who's out and traveling help them to enjoy their time
Lord but bring them back to us safely we also want to pray for Theodore's
grandmother's shoulder surgery that the doctors would be very skilled and do a
great job on her shoulder that you'd help her with her pain and recovery
process that she would have full mobility afterwards Lord I just pray that
you bless her in that process pray for brother Alex Lee with his new job pray
that he would find favor in the eyes of you Lord in the eyes of his bosses and
co-workers pray that you bless his finances and his success in his career
we also pray for brother Theodore who's still in the Philippines that she would
just help him especially as this draws to an end to keep working hard but to be
safe I pray that the door of opportunity would stay open for him that you would
cause him to be prosperous and successful and continuing to win many
people to Christ over there I pray that you bless evangelist Duncan Urbanic of
Steadfast Baptist Church and pastor Matthew Stuckey of Verity Baptist Church
that you bless the works that they're doing over there in the Philippines Lord
and also pray for Brother Miles and his health that his health would improve
that you'd give Miss Rhea strength and taking care of him that things would
continue to go well with VA support and all the health care that they need Lord
and we also want to pray for families in our church who have lost loved ones that
those people would just have a soft heart to the gospel that they'd have many
many opportunities to hear the truth Lord we also pray for the work we're
doing here in Oklahoma City I pray that you bless our church I pray that you'd
give us laborers people of a ready mind people with a receptive heart that want
to know your truth I want to stand for your words that want to go out and
reach others with the gospel of Jesus Christ I pray that you would make our
way straight Lord that you'd give us the resources we need to do a great work
here in Oklahoma City and also we want to pray for the fire breathing Baptist
fellowship coming up next week that things would run smoothly that you'd be
with pastor Shelley and the staff and all the volunteers over there running
this event pray that you'd be with the pastors that you would just help us to
preach your word faithfully and that God's people would have changed hearts
as a result we love you in Jesus name we pray amen all right that's gonna be it
for our announcements we'll go and go to our third psalm which is your handout
psalm 126 psalm 126 in your white handout psalm 126 when the Lord
time please turn your Bibles to Proverbs chapter number 21 the offering plates are
being passed around Proverbs chapter number 21
Proverbs 21 verse 1 the Bible says the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord as the rivers
of water he turneth it whithersoever he will when it comes to verses like this we want
to make sure that we are thinking of the whole Bible that we're not taking one verse and
running too far with it because some would point to this verse and kind of come away
with a Calvinistic view of life acting like God is just controlling everyone like we're
some sort of puppets and he's the puppet master and he's just forcing people to do things
but we know all throughout the Bible the Bible talks about free will offerings Jesus says
whosoever will may come I mean Jesus tells us the Bible tells us to gird up the loins
of our mind it tells us to walk in the spirit why because these are things that are not
just automatic we get to choose how we live our lives but there is also true we don't
want to go to the other extreme though where we deny the fact that God orchestrates things
in life and God can work in people's hearts and kind of have situations work to a certain
advantage to accomplish God's will so for example I think about King Cyrus he he basically
sanctions the temple of God to be rebuilt you know God can cause a leader to have a
desire to do something that matches God's will God could even use wicked kings like
Nebuchadnezzar to have in a desire such as taking over Israel and punishing that nation
because that was God's will as well so when it comes to human government and when it comes
to leaders what I think we could learn from this verse is that what's more important
than voting for the right guy making sure we're going to go out and and volunteer for
the Republican Party and instead of going soul winning we're gonna go hang out flyers
for candidates or something like that what's more important than that stuff is being a
godly nation and you know us being Christians us going out and preaching the gospel us living
a godly life us us preaching the word of God I believe that that has way more of an effect
on the leaders of our nation than anything else because you think about you know even
within the United States there's a lot of diversity when it comes to state governments
local governments and you know what we live in a great state we live in an awesome state
we have a lot of freedom here we have constitutional carry you don't have to have a permit to carry
a firearm here you're able to defend yourself according to the Bible's thing the way that
the Bible defines it the King James Bible is taught in public schools here I mean there's
just a lot of good about Oklahoma and the reason why is because this is a Christian
place because there's so many Christians here there's so many saved people here and then
even amongst those that are not saved there's still a lot of people that are at least promoting
the Bible and on the Bible side even if they're not saved and so that's why Oklahoma is different
than places like Washington State look I live there I like Washington State it's beautiful
there's a great church there called Sure Foundation Baptist Church but you know it's much different
than it is here when it comes to the culture the receptivity of the soul winning and the
laws the laws in Washington are way more oppressive than places like this why because I think
God blesses people with a godly government or a more godly government when those people
themselves are righteous whereas in Washington it's just filled with freaks and trannies
and sodomites and people who love abortion and just feminists everywhere it's crazy and
so they have a lot of jacked up laws there for example if you wanted to move to Washington
State right now you would have to get rid of all your AR-15s because you cannot move
to that state and bring them in they passed a law basically to where all the citizens
in Washington who already owned them they could keep them but you can't move and bring
yours and you can't buy one once you're there anymore you know they have magazine limits
on capacity limits on magazines you have to get like background checks to buy ammo how
about this miners can run away from home and go get a sex change and the government will
not inform you of it they will harbor your children until that's done the police are
not chasing suspects anymore when they run they're not you know charging people for drug
crimes really anymore it's just nuts over there and I'm not picking on Washington specifically
it's Washington Oregon a lot of California you know and why is because the people there
are not as Christian and so as if we as a nation want our country to have better judges
better presidents better lawmakers you know it's more important to figure out okay are
we doing God's will because the King's heart is in the hand of the Lord as the rivers
of water he turneth it whithersoever he will you know if God's people are rebellious and
stiff-necked and don't care about the things of God you know he might just send us a terrible
government he might send us a terrible governor and a terrible president that might oppress
us because that's God's will or if we do what's right God can bless us with good leadership
and you know what good leadership in government a lot of it is just leaving us the heck alone
and just allowing us to live our lives as Christians and so that's something that we
definitely want verse number two the Bible says every way of a man is right in his own
eyes but the Lord pondereth the hearts so our flesh our carnal nature we do not just
automatically do what's right we do not always do that which what the Bible says and in
our minds we think that we are right and as Christians we need to have the humility to
realize that hey I may think that I'm right about things but I need to constantly be checking
it with what the Bible says because the Lord ponders the heart the Bible says that the
heart is desperately wicked who can know it right you can't even understand your own heart
fully and it's desperately wicked so we ought to trust in the Lord look at verse number
three to do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice so again when it
comes to God pondering the hearts what is some of the things he's looking at he's looking
at do we care about justice and judgment more than just giving a sacrifice a lot of false
religion today is not necessarily about serving God in spirit and in truth it's about doing
some sort of outward fleshly sacrifice and they think that that's going to somehow please
God right so the Catholics will have lent and they'll go around on a Friday though
they'll do some sort of fast but they don't even do necessarily food fasts they'll do
like a video game fast I remember having friends in high school telling me yeah I'm doing an
ice cream fast I'm giving up ice cream for this amount of weeks and they're like oh man
you know we're doing this sacrifice we're giving up video games but you know what God's
not pleased with that kind of stuff he would rather us do justice and judgment before some
sort of big sacrifice not to say that God doesn't like sacrifices I mean God liked
it when the poor widow woman gave those two mites and she gave all her living but she
did that with the right heart and a lot of times people today they want to ignore what
the Bible says they want to ignore justice and judgment and God's laws but they just
want to focus on the outward works that they're doing the truth is we need both of these things
we want to have justice judgment and sacrifice as well verse number four and high look and
a proud heart and the plowing of the wicked is sin what's so interesting about this versus
you have those people out there that believe in something called sinless perfection and
we've probably run into those people out soul winning that think they've never sin and there's
a lot of pastors that will teach that once you're saved you're not going to sin anymore
you're not going to transgress at all you're just going to be perfect since you've got
the new man now everything's just going to be great but what's funny is that God's definition
of sin is so much higher than the average person thinks the average person thinks like
well I haven't murdered anyone well I haven't committed adultery well you know I didn't
commit grand larceny or burglary or assault or something like that but according to the
Bible the look on your face can be a sin I mean that's that's a high bar right there
people think like okay as long as I don't murder anyone but a high look is a sin what's
a high look it's just that proudful haughty look that people have on their face picture
a major league baseball player when he hits a home run and you know he just flips the
bat he's like when he starts walking like that that's stupid you know and and I always
hated that stuff I played baseball my whole life but my coach would have kicked our butts
if we did that kind of stuff he taught us do not show pride don't celebrate yourself
he's like if you hit a home run just put your head down and run across the bases you know
I don't like how baseball is starting to do backflips and dances and backflips I don't
like that stuff because you know what it is it's a high look and you know this is a good
I was taught that as a kid you know we should teach our kids that as well that's a good
lesson to learn at a young age that hey you shouldn't be prideful pride is an abomination
to God even if it's just expressed on your face not to mention prideful thoughts prideful
actions stuff like that you know one thing kids love to do is they love to praise themselves
have you noticed that kids love this dad I'm the most beautiful girl in the world dad my
hair is so beautiful dad I'm the best singer dad I'm such a good dancer whatever kids just
do this stuff and they need to be told hey let another man praise thee and not your own
lips a stranger and not thy own mouth because you know what it's when it's a kid we excuse
it and we kind of laugh like haha this silly foolish child is praising themselves but you
want to know when it gets real awkward when it's a teenager doing it when it's a 20, 30,
40, 70 year old person praising themselves it's not funny anymore it's just uncomfortable
and we're just like embarrassed for you when you're around someone that's just telling
you how great they are what a great worker they are what a good athlete they are what
a good whatever it's just uncomfortable because you know when you're actually great at something
other people notice it and other people will compliment you but you know what it's uncomely
it's not Christian like to praise yourself so much so that God's saying hey don't even
have an high look don't even look haughty don't even look proud that's a sin and of
course a proud heart and notice this and the plowing of the wicked is sin what could this
be talking about the plowing of the wicked go to Romans chapter number six well what
I think this is just saying is that basically anything the wicked do is not pleasing to
God anything that they do doesn't the Bible say without faith it is impossible to please
him so a wicked person it doesn't matter if they have a high look a proud heart or
if they're just plowing their dang field God's wrath is abiding on the unsaved and
God is not pleased with anything that the wicked does Romans chapter number six notice
what it says here in verse 17 but God be thanked that ye notice were the servants of sin but
you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you before you
and I were saved we were servants of sin we were not serving righteousness in any way
because those that do righteousness are those who are born of God those who are saved are
the only people that are doing righteous things before we are saved all we were is the servants
of sin but we obeyed that form of doctrine that's the gospel verse 18 being then made
free from sin you became the servants of righteousness so now we're the servants of righteousness
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh for as you have
yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity even so now
yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness you're saying look we're talking about
your flesh and before you were saved all you did was you yielded yourself as a servant to
unrighteousness to iniquity to sin but now that we're saved we have the opportunity and we have
the option to yield ourselves as servants to righteousness and servants to God now that does
not mean that just because you're saved you're going to automatically do that but now at least
you have an option to do that now at least you have the Holy Spirit of God and you can walk in
the Spirit of God you can overcome sin by being filled with the Spirit but before that it wasn't
even an option it's trying it's like the unsaved trying to do righteousness it's like you're in a
river that has a fast current and you're just trying to swim against the current it doesn't
matter how hard you try it's not going to work okay but once you're saved now you actually have
the option then it says in verse 20 for when you were the servants of sin notice this ye were free
from righteousness you had no righteousness when you were unsaved well what about this good thing
i did god wasn't pleased with it whatsoever look at verse 21 what fruit had you then in
those things wherever you're now ashamed for the end of those things is death but now being made
free from sin and become servants to god you have your fruit unto holiness in the end everlasting
life everything before you got saved it was just you being a servant to sin a servant to wickedness
and he's like hey what profit came of those things that you are now ashamed notice he's not
saying man before you were saved you were doing so so many great works you were doing so many good
things for god god was so pleased with all the great things you were doing no he's saying you
were completely free of that before you were completely serving sin before now you have the
option to serve god now you have the option to serve righteousness go back to proverbs 21
so when he's saying the plowing of the wickedest sin what he's saying is that
everything the unsaved do is displeasing in the eyes of god now this is kind of against the
conventional wisdom of the world because the kind of uh eclectic mindset of the world is to say
well you know i'm for the catholic nuns raising the little orphans and you know what it's great
when muslims go and feed some that's probably never happened this bad example they're always
just bombing people right whatever you want to say oh you know this unsaved version of christianity
they're feeding the poor they're doing so much good oh look the catholic church they're petitioning
for abortion to be outlawed god doesn't see any of it as righteous god is unpleased with all of it
because remember it's better to do justice and judgment than sacrifice like oh here's all these
great works that i'm doing yeah it's not great works because without faith it is impossible
to please him this is why it doesn't make any sense for christians to yoke up with the unsaved
because all you're doing is you're going to bring god's wrath and god's hand against what you're
doing no he's going to bless those that are saved he's going to bless the work of those that are
saved that's what's actually going to bring him pleasure verse number five the bible says the
thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness but of everyone that is hasty only to want so the
diligent man his mindset is tending towards plenteousness he's not necessarily worried
about having enough or his family starving or making provision for the things that he needs
to take care of because he's a diligent person and this is just how the world works in general
in life those who are diligent they have what they need those who are diligent are not going
to be begging bread they're not going to be starving but it says but of everyone that is
hasty only to one so the hasty person he's always thinking about like man how are we going to get
enough for this how are we going to provide how are we going to pay for that and in general that's
because he is hasty think about all the people who fall for get rich quick schemes in our world
they fall for the uh what's what's the uh ponzi schemes that are out there nowadays it used to
be candles you know essential oils whatever the ponzi schemes that are out there it's like if you
sign up and you start selling these energy drinks or these protein bars or these candles you're
going to be making eight thousand dollars in two months and people are just like yeah sign me up
let's do that why because they're just hasty they think like oh this is the get rich quick scheme
those type of people in general are going to be lacking and being worried about things and not
having what they need and of course we have to realize that proverbs is speaking in generalities
okay of course there are people out there who are prospering who are very rich who have all that they
need and it's not necessarily because they're diligent it's because they're ripping people off
or they're stealing or they're selling drugs or they're you know the military industrial complex
or something like that there's all sorts of wicked means by which people are getting rich in this
world today and there are exceptions where there's very diligent very hard-working people that are
struggling financially and you know you don't want to have like this elitist prideful aristocratic
view where anyone who ever struggles with money they're just 100 sure lazy people and you don't
want to have the other view where it's like oh someone's rich that must mean you're a great
person you must be so godly you must be so wonderful no that's not the case of course
on a case-by-case basis we can look at things but in general in life those who are lazy those who
are hasty are going to be poor and not have the things that they need those who are diligent and
hard-working in general that's going to be who god blesses notice what it says in verse six
the getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death
so he gives an example right what would be a wicked way to get money how about by a lying
tongue the getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro by them that seek
death so people today oftentimes will cut corners will lie about their product will lie about the
services that they're giving will lie to their employer about their hours will just lie like
that and you know what god is not going to bless christians who try to make money by wicked means
the bible saying it's vain it's it's empty it's a meaningless meaningless exercise and so many
people are giving so much effort and energy into getting all this money but when you're getting
money and god's not blessing you you know it's it's worthless god could just cause all your
money to bleed out to fall out of your pockets to lose your wealth and assets that's why it's
important to do things with integrity it says that it's like a vanity tossed to and fro of them that
seek death kind of makes me think of this phrase or this expression oh that person has a death wish
right if you've ever driven in houston you understand what i'm saying because you'll just
be like oh man these drivers have a death wish you know it'll be like completely stopped traffic
and then someone will go on the shoulder going like a hundred miles an hour it's like that guy
has a death wish now if we stopped him and arrested him and asked him sir do you wish to die today
he probably would say no man i don't want to die today but yet he's acting like he has a death wish
right so it's the same thing when it comes to this you're if you're cutting corners or you're
lying or you're being dishonest in business if you're ripping people off you know if we asked
you hey do you want all of your money to be taken away from you by god do you want god's curse to
come on your life because it kind of looks to me like you're wanting death it kind of looks to me
like you're seeking death that's kind of what the bible is saying here it's like you're seeking
death look at verse number seven the robbery of the wicked shall destroy them because they refuse
to do judgment so notice it does not pay to make money by wicked means because god will destroy you
god will destroy you what's an example robbery you know that's a big thing that happens if you go on
oklahoma's oklahoma city's website it talks about like all the guns that have been stolen
in oklahoma city this year all the cars that have been stolen but you know what you're playing a
dangerous game when you steal from people because some people will let it go depending on what it
is other people will kill you dead over things over a car over assets and you know what it's
even legal to protect your property with lethal force in oklahoma and in texas and so you know
you ought to think twice before stealing someone's car doing something like that the robbery of the
wicked shall destroy them why because they refuse to do judgment you know you just refuse to make
an honest living you refuse to do what's right you know it's crazy verse eight the way of man
is forward and strange but as for the pure his work is right you know there's this idea today
that's usually held by more liberal people that people in general are just generally speaking
good in heart people just in general are pretty good pretty decent people you know that is not
what the bible teaches the bible teaches the exact opposite that the way of man is froward
and strange you know and it's a very prideful idea to think that oh you know we're all basically
good we're all basically doing what's right what does the bible say every way of a man is right in
his own eyes that's why that mentality exists because people are saying well i'm living my life
this way i mean sure i live with my girlfriend but we love each other we're pretty good people
i mean yeah of course you know we drink but i haven't killed anyone in a drunk driving accident
yet or hey you know whatever i do as long as it's not hurting anybody no big deal how i sin i live
a pretty good life that's not how god views things god's saying hey pretty much in general
man is forward right so man in general is just rebellious hardens their neck against god does
not naturally want to do what the bible says and it says and strange so just foreign to the things
of god foreign to what's right but as for the pure his work is right you know it's nice to know
it's nice to have assurance that the things that we believe and the things that we do actually are
right not because we're just like hey let's do what's right in our own eyes let's make up our
own opinions let's make up our own rules about life but we actually have chapter and verse
to base the things that we believe in you know it's nice to know hey we're not committing
fornication we're going to wait until marriage we are going to stay within the bounds of marriage
and that's not just my opinion we know that hey the marriage bed is honorable in all right it's
honorable and all in the bed undefiled but adulterers and whoremongers god will judge that's not our
opinion that's just doing what's right as for the pure his work is right look at verse number nine
it says it is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman in a wide
house by the way proverbs is just kind of funny just like how it seems like this author is just
like going in a million directions just different topic all the time but i still love it you know
it's just interesting how he does that so he goes from talking about like human nature in general
and he's like let me tell you about some bad ladies out there let me tell you about some bad
women out there that are so bad that in fact it's saying like it's better to just go in the corner
of a house top for some guys and just hide than to be around this brawling woman and of course
this isn't saying like hey guys this is what you should do this is just saying like this type of
woman can drive some guys to this low meager state in life what is some attributes about her
says she's brawling look at verse number 19 says it is better to dwell in the wilderness than with
a contentious and an angry woman so we have brawling contentious and angry these are attributes in a
woman that will make a man want to hide in the attic in a corner or go out in the wilderness
so you know if your husband's always wanting to go camping you might have to figure out what's
going on in idaho seems like everybody camps and goes hunting maybe there's just really bad ladies
in the home over the no i'm just kidding but you know this is what the attributes are like right
angry contentious and brawling think about angry no man wants to be around an angry woman you know
you can ask any guy you want saved or unsaved one of the things that guys find attractive about
women is them being happy jovial being pleasant to be around because you know men are supposed to
be gruff and you know we're full of testosterone and men are usually the ones getting angry even
though that's not necessarily right there is such a thing as righteous anger but you know what it's
just when a lady is just always angry always upset that's a that's a woman you just want to stay far
away from it's not fun to be around it's not pleasant company okay contentious you know the
wife that just always has to back talk what her husband says he says hey we're going here no like
why can't we go over here just immediately wants to back talk and bring up her you know her ideas
her rebuttal constantly having to disobey being contentious like that you know men don't want a
contentious wife men are supposed to be in charge in the home men are supposed to run the show men
have the authority the bible says wives obey your husbands in the lord that is the truth and look if
if you have a wife like this don't look at this as an instruction manual where okay my wife's being
angry and contentious so i'm just going to leave and go hunting no you got to take charge in that
situation you have to be the one that wears the pants you have to be the one that lays down the
law you know i've never understood this thing about guys sleeping on the couch now look i've
never slept on the couch in my a single time in my life all right if you have you could ask for
forgiveness it's okay you can move on with your your life my wife has never slept on the couch
but here's what i'm saying like if me and my wife are fighting if one of us are sleeping on the
couch it would be her not me because i'm in charge and i'm not going to go running from my wife i'm
going to say no no no we're sleeping in the same bed no we're staying together you know what couples
do sometimes they take the car keys i'm driving them out nope no you're not why because i'm in
charge and i'm not going to allow my home to become some sort of circus i'm not going to become some
sort of prisoner to my wife and look thank god i'm not even close to being in a situation like this
but i i know the horror stories that are out there and i know there's guys that are just running away
from their wives there's guys that are out there they get off work and they park in the driveway
for hours you know scrolling their phone or doing whatever because they're terrified of the beast
that awaits them within the lair called their home you know it's like that's a bad situation
and men need to confront conflict in their marriage conflict in their home head on and lead
the conflict resolution rather than running from it and you know what men should never ever cower
to their wives just like how it'd be insane for parents to cower to their children and you know
what it's crazy parents do this parents will like will like negotiate with two-year-olds like all
right all right toddler please get off the counter now can you please get off the counter come on
johnny get down off the counter it's like why would you negotiate with a someone that you are
in charge of you just say get off the counter and if not there's consequences and look i'm not even
against a husband bringing in some sort of consequences to his marriage if his wife just
refuses to obey you know what could that be taking the credit card taking the car keys
taking the phone oh this is abuse no you're just brainwashed no you've just lived in this
american society where you've seen women just rebuke their husbands rail against their husbands
backtalk against their husbands hit their husbands post on facebook about their husbands do all this
crap against their husbands and nothing happens about it because we live in a feminist hell hole
but let me tell you something that's not normal it is not normal for children to just with impunity
disrespect their parents and have no care in the world for the things that they say and just
completely disobey them because there's no threat of any consequences whatsoever the parents never
lay down the law and so the kid is completely wild you know that is just as weird and crazy
as a wife that just has no respect for her husband you know what there might need to be a healthy
level of fear in a marriage if the lady is just totally out to lunch and totally feminist
and man these are things that you need to hear before you get married by the way
because the hope is that men before you get married you would see a woman like this and
just not marry her because it's going to be a nightmare and of course ladies should be looking
at this situation and saying hey i don't want these attributes in my life i don't want to be that
contentious woman i don't want to be brawling i don't want to be angry when you read proverbs 31
the proverbs 31 is talking about how she opens her mouth with kindness she has grace she's strong
she's smart she's intelligent she's skilled right and it's it's not like wives are of less value
it's not like being a wife is somehow demeaning or something like that but it's just you have a
different role and that role is not one of authority and so ladies should not act like
they're in a position of authority by bossing their husband around by constantly being mad at
him by constantly lecturing him by saying go sleep on the couch no it's not going to happen
you know that's the attitude that you ought to have so practical tip never sleep on the couch
man that that is my advice to you never ever ever sleep on the couch if one of you has to do it
then she can go do it but you know what that is your bed you bought it didn't you
you bought the dang house you know don't be driven out into the wilderness by your wife
don't be driven out into the corner of a house top by your wife it's better to keep your stones
and keep your integrity and keep your authority in the marriage than to just kowtow to your wife
because what you're doing is you're creating a monster and what you think you're doing is you
think okay it'll get better if i just you know give in to her it'll get better if i just obey
her this one time no what you're doing is that you're enabling bad behavior and you're going to
allow it to grow and fester and it's never going to get better the only way it's going to get
better is by confronting that garbage just like with kids okay if you don't ever confront the bad
behavior and you just let the rebellion go unchecked it's just going to get worse and worse and worse
don't be this type of woman then it says in verse number nine the other attribute i want to talk
about is brawling you know there should never be hitting within marriage you know men should not
hit their wives wives should not hit their husbands you know that is just inappropriate
it's uncalled for it's not something that should be done now look people do this and it's awful
you know i'm against it 100 but don't think that just because this happens that someone's
automatically like a reprobate or something like that you know if this happens you should
reconcile you should forgive each other you should move on this stuff just does happen in life but
of course it's not right it's not something that we should tolerate or like or be for whatsoever
and even a lot of times the one doing the hitting is often the woman i mean i personally know of
many situations many domestics where the woman was beating on the man the woman is breaking his
glasses and the woman's throwing things at him and stuff like that you know what that is ridiculous
that is insane behavior don't be doing something like that i know of a situation where some guy
got married and within the first year of his marriage his wife is like breaking stuff and
putting a gun in his face it's like there's some crazy women out there in this world and so realize
that hey when you see these types of red flags in a woman when you're single it's probably going
to get a lot worse when you get married you know if you're dating and she's hitting you with pots
and pants it might be the ak-47 once you're married you know what i mean you got to be careful of
these type of crazy women that are out there verse number 10 the soul of the wicked desireeth evil
his neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes so it's just funny how the author like he's talking about
lazy people and people getting money by dishonest means he's like by the way there's some crazy
women out there and then he kind of gets back to it the soul of the wicked desireeth evil his
neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes you know that's not a that's not a good attribute of
someone when you can only ever see the negative in people you're always focusing on people's
issues and problems and even your neighbor can find no favor in his eyes i believe we should be
very gracious as christians we should be giving people the benefit of the doubt you know we should
judge people based on their individual actions their individual character and not just paint
with a broad brush and just be like you know hating all your neighbors hating all the people
that live in your city and in your state what's a good example of this how about racism which
racism is making a huge comeback right now if you don't live online if you're not really plugged
into the online world you probably wouldn't know that but i'm telling you actual true racism not
the fake stuff that the liberals have been accusing us of being for the last 10 years
but actual real racism hating people because of the color of their skin you know that is on
the rise today and all you have to do is just like post a sermon like this on x and all these
people will tell me you know i hate white people i'm a race trader i'm a horrible person you know
there's all these people today that just despise people just for the color of their skin but notice
this is a wicked person the soul of the wicked desire of evil his neighbor findeth no favor in
his eyes you know the bible says you know what jesus actually taught to love your neighbor i mean
isn't that one of the most famous sayings in christianity that yes is often abused and yes
it is often not balanced but hey we should love our neighbor we should not despise our neighbor
it's weird how many people today will just see a black person and immediately despise them
immediately hate them all all sorts of things on x i'm seeing people calling them subhuman
saying that you know slavery was a good thing stuff like that segregation was a good thing
saying that interracial marriage is like a wicked abomination that's some sort of sin there's all
this craziness out there today but you know what this is called this is called being a respecter of
persons that's what it is and the bible says if you are a respecter of persons you commit sin if
you look at someone and just because of the way they look you just hate them you just despise them
you know what that is a sin now look obviously we could judge individuals on their actions and on
their character that is a hundred percent true you know for example one time i was soul winning
in south dallas which is a very heavy black area and i was with brother jacob plant we're knocking
on the door and all of a sudden we hear gunfire very very close to us and we kind of peek around
the corner because this house had like a little hallway we peek around the hallway and there's
these two black kids both with their pistols and they're just aimlessly fire just mag dumping into
the neighborhood just endlessly firing into houses and it's like okay yeah let's get away from these
teenagers right here but am i supposed to say like because i saw black teens doing this that means
that every black person in the bahamas is a violent criminal every black person in london is a violent
criminal every black person in canada no that's stupid obviously we know someone's skin color
and someone's race does not drive them to do wicked sinful things now of course we could also be in
reality and say hey the black community here's a big issue that they have culturally is they have
no fathers and look that's not a racist thing to say that is the reality of the world we're living
in it's like okay if you're gonna say hey here's a statistic 13 percent of black people in our
country they commit over 50 percent of the crime okay yeah that's true but the question is why is
it because they're black does having black skin just like make your hand go right go to your waist
and pull out your gun what are you talking about no maybe it's because they aren't in church maybe
it's because they have no dads maybe it's because they weren't spanked as children maybe it's because
they get involved in drugs and gangs at a young age because they don't have a stable family life
maybe because they're listening to a bunch of trash rap music that glorifies drugs and alcohol
and violence and fighting police officers and maybe they've got a bunch of lazy parents who
don't work hard live their whole life on the food stamps and on government assistance and they don't
teach their kids to work hard they're not showing a good example maybe it's actually
character issues in those community and not just their skin color but you know what if a black
person believes on the lord jesus christ and comes to church and starts reading the bible
and starts practicing what it says guess what their life could look astronomically different
than their family in south dallas or in houston or whatever why because god's blessing is not
just limited to white people or to brown people no god loves all of the nations of the world
his son died for every single person he has thoughts of good to us he wants us to be blessed
but how is that going to happen it's going to be through justice and judgment not through living
life the way that you want to live the way that you think we should live so don't just despise
your neighbor for no reason look at verse number 11 when the scorner is punished the simple is made
wise and when the wise is instructed he receiveth knowledge so when the scorner is punished the
simple is made wise why is it that it's worth it sometimes to call people out by name or to
exercise church discipline or for the government to you know lay down the law and execute its laws
in our land well you punish the scorner not even necessarily for the scorner's sake but so that
other people can fear other people can see and learn and notice how in the bible especially in
proverbs there's been a big difference so far between like the scorner and the fool versus
the simple man the simple man can be helped the simple man maybe he's not the smartest maybe he
lacks intelligence but the simple man can actually learn and have has hope the bible talks about how
the word of god can make wise the simple right so by punishing the scorner the simple is made wise
the simple has hope but usually you know who doesn't the fool the scorner oftentimes even
when you're punishing the scorner it's not even for that person's sake you know think about jesus
debating with a lot of reprobate Pharisees a lot of reprobate Sadducees when he was doing that in
a public setting it wasn't necessarily for these people that he was calling two-fold more the
children of hell people that he was saying are are wicked are serpents but it was oftentimes for
the people that were hanging in the balance that were listening that were caught up in his sermon
that could be helped the simple are made wise when the scorn is punished and when the wise is
instructed he receiveth knowledge so we want to be the type of people that when we learn in life
all we have to do is just be taught be instructed we need to be the type of people that hey you
just hear a sermon against alcohol and you just stop drinking alcohol rather than being the fool
or the scorner who often has to learn by going through a bunch of horrific experiences in their
life there's two ways to learn things you know you can go the typical american experience and
when you turn 18 you can go to college and you can go become an alcoholic in your 20s and binge
drink and go out and fornicate and go out and get stds and go out and have bastard children's or
abortions and just you know sew your wild oats and live that crazy lifestyle and then get older
realize wow that was dumb wow i regret that oh wow i'm this 30 year old 35 year old woman who
slept with a hundred guys and has an only fans i wonder why i can't find a good husband you know
or i'm some loser in my late 20s and 30s and i don't have a job because i'm a raging alcoholic
and i smoke pot and i think that the earth is flat i don't know why any girls don't like me
and it's like you could either go down that route in life or you could just look at idiots
doing stupid things and say huh i don't want to do that huh that looks like a bad idea you know
people all the time i remember in high school was a huge debate over whether or not marijuana is
dangerous and whether or not marijuana is something that should be accepted or good in our society
and you know at that age there was a lot of people debating on both sides who had never tried
marijuana right think about that so you got a bunch of people who've never tried it before
who think yeah it should be legal yeah it's just fine no big deal you have a lot of people who've
never tried it before that said no it's bad who's right well why don't we look you know 10 years
later after high school why don't we look at all of our classmates or the people you grew up with
who ended up becoming potheads why don't you look at their life and see are they successful do they
have successful families are they raising godly children are they serving god where are they today
you know where potheads are doing nothing with their lives because potheads live to smoke pot
and drunks live to drink alcohol and fentanyl addicts live to shoot up fentanyl you know drugs
are wicked as hell stay away from drugs don't be such an idiot thinking that's something i got to
try for myself i want to learn to see what it feels like you know what i've always been terrified
of drugs i grew up in the say no to drugs campaign i had that in my school did anyone
have the say no to drugs campaign in school see this is what's wrong with oklahoma is that not
everyone's raising their hand maybe that's why we have such a bad drug problem in this state
look man we need to bring that back because as a kid they showed us videos right it's like look at
this guy on heroin he's like then it's like yeah i don't want to live my life that way right or the
the pot head the long shaggy hair that's like can do nothing with his life or you know what really
got me in high school is they showed us dui car accidents did anyone have to watch those videos
they just made us watch like the bloodiest goriest most horrific dui accidents and i was so scared of
those videos i remember at one point i told my dad like i think i want to wait a little bit on
getting my license even though i wasn't even going to drink i just knew like drunks are out there on
the road and it's kind of freaking me out a little bit now i didn't end up doing that i got
my license as soon as i could but when i saw that i was scared and i'm just thinking like i never
want to be in the car with someone who's drinking alcohol i never want to drink that stuff and drive
you know because look at these videos and here's the thing i went to school with people who died
in drunk driving accidents raise your hand if you know someone who's died in a drunk driving
accident okay now it's almost every hand in the room and so what should we do we should see that
stuff and learn from it and not be like well i want to experience it myself i got to learn myself
what it's like to drive drunk i just want to know if i could do it you're a fool that is a stupid
thing to do look at what the what verse 12 says the righteous man wisely considereth the house of
the wicked but god overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness a wise person looks at a wicked
person and wisely considers their path and wisely considers the the route that they're going down
in life and we say hey i don't need to learn by experience in that area i could just skip that
you know you could see girls you grew up with in high school that get knocked up and are discarded
by their trash boyfriends young ladies you should look at that type of girl and say hey i'm going to
skip that phase in my life i'm going to go ahead and just stay pure until i'm married right you see
guys crash out on drugs and alcohol hey let's skip that phase in our life you know this is why also
i believe it's a really good idea to take your children out soul winning with you as much as you
can as early as you can as often as you can because oftentimes we're going into really rough areas
and why are these areas really rough sometimes well because of sin that's why because a lot of
times we go to rough areas like anadarko oklahoma and everyone there is pretty much a drug addict
or an alcoholic or lazy or combination of those three and you know sometimes i literally talk to
my daughters and i show them and i'm just like hey would you want to live here someday and it's
so weird my young daughters who are very inexperienced in life they all say no why did i say like you
have to not like this place you don't want to be here i just asked like do you want to live here
they said no maybe because they're just wisely considering the house of the wicked and they're
like this is weird you know mom and dad's house is clean and you know dad works a job and dad's
pants are up above his hips why is that guy's pants down at his ankles what's going on around
here you know my dad actually carries his gun in a holster why is this guy having his hanging
we were so winning the other day this guy showed up and his gun's like hanging out of his pants
basically falling out it's like bro what's wrong with you get you a holster right but you just you
see the world when you go soul winning you don't see the world through rose-colored glasses you
know what this world is like and people say like oh man you're sheltering your kids i just took my
kids to a homicide scene the other week what are you talking about like we literally went to an
apartment where a homicide took place days before and got the victim's girlfriend saved i don't
think i'm sheltering my kids you know i think i'm letting them see the world of course i'm protecting
them and of course i believe god's protecting us but you know what i believe we should show our kids
what the world is like without sinning of course without showing them wicked stuff you know weird
stuff on tv weird movies or something like that but just life in general so that when they grow
up they say hey i've seen what a drug house looks like i've seen what an alcoholic's house looks
like i've seen what the the gambling addict's house looks like and hopefully they won't go
down that road that's the hope for them at least verse number 13 the bible says whoso stoppeth his
ears at the cry of the poor he also shall cry himself but shall not be heard makes me think
about how the bible says you know with the merciful that will show thyself merciful the
froward you'll show yourself froward oftentimes how we view and treat other people is how god
treats us and you know what there are people who are legitimately poor in this world who are not
wicked who are not addicted to drugs and alcohol and you know we should not just turn our eyes from
those people stop our ears from those people pretend like pain and suffering and problems
don't exist because then if when it's our turn to cry out to god for help when we're in a time of
need god's just going to say okay well i'm gonna not hear you he also shall cry himself but shall
not be heard the bible talks about hey as we therefore have opportunity let us do good unto
all men especially those who are of the household of faith you know if if someone needs help and you
have opportunity to help that person you should help them and this doesn't always have to look
like something financial this could be like hey we got a person moving to our church can we get
some volunteers to help this person move into their house hey can this person borrow a truck
hey this person needs a tool hey this person maybe someone is having a financially hard time
and you have the opportunity to help them you should help them you should not stop your ears at
the cries of people who need help especially your brothers in christ you know if i'm going to help
anyone it's going to be my brothers in christ first that's my priority verse 14 a gift in secret
pacified anger and a reward in the bosom strong wrath very simple just a life tip here that maybe
you've wronged someone or maybe you didn't even wrong them but they're just upset they're angry
at you a lot of times you know just giving them a gift even if it's something small could really
just diffuse the situation and kind of push a reset on that relationship and it's a wise thing
to do you know a wrathful man stirs up anger grievous words stir up anger you know a soft
answer turn it away wrath you know what else turns away wrath a gift sometimes and so husbands this
is good advice for you you know if you have done something wrong if you've transgressed your wife
if you have messed up in some area you're not being the most thoughtful not not the most caring
not the most present father or something like that you know what could really help the situation is
just a nice little gift i have never heard of a woman who does not like a gift and you know it
doesn't have to be something crazy there's another proverb that talks about how like a gift in the
hand of him that hath it is like a precious jewel whithersoever it turneth it prospereth
it's like you know you have that diamond and the light shines on it it's just beautiful in whatever
direction and I think about that nice sweaty coffee that your wife probably loves that iced
coffee that's sweating or that that iced energy drink that's sweating you know it's going to be
beautiful in her eyes and it can help her not be angry anymore you know we need less anger in our
life so buy the Elanis buy the coffee buy the gift it pacifies anger the bible says verse 15
it is joy to the just to do judgment but destructions shall be to the workers of iniquity
notice how those who are just those who are righteous it's actually joy to do judgment
to the world that's a dirty word the world hates judgment and they hate god's judgments but for us
who are saved and us who have the bible don't we just love god's judgment i mean we read god's
judgment and our spirit just like yeah that's right yeah i love that verse yeah i love that law
why because that's the attitude of the just the man that wandereth out of the way of understanding
shall remain in the congregation of the dead he that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man
he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich so again when it comes to a huge reason why people
are poor or struggling there are people who are poor because they're lazy or because they're
wicked and there's poor people who are not those things but one reason some people are poor is
because they just love pleasure and they love wine and oil what is that just expensive things
the finer things in life a lot of people the reason they're poor is because the new gaming
system comes out and they have to swipe their credit card they have to go travel across the
world every year even though they just got married at 18 they have to have a house that
their parents bought in their 40s and 50s they have to do all the same things as the joneses
and like i said there's now because of this consumerism in our country there's companies
that will offer you financing for literally anything you can go on the internet and you
could buy a book on credit you could buy a pizza on split it up into four payments you have four
interest payments on a pizza and it's like a ten dollar pizza and by the time you're done with it
who knows i mean did you pay 30 bucks on that pizza 40 bucks on that pizza this is a big problem
today in american culture specifically why because our country is infected with the love of money
and our country is infected with covetousness you know we need to get back to the words of jesus hey
having food and raiment let us be there with content you know we ought to thank god for the
life that we have here in in america and even if you don't make a ton of money even if you just
work a regular blue collar job man your life is so awesome compared to other places in this world
and you know what is the thief of joy comparison you know here you are living in america blessed
working a job a normal job you're gonna have great food if you work a normal job
you're gonna have a vehicle if you work a normal job you're gonna have a place to live if you work
just a normal job you know why can't we just be content with the things that god's given us
and if we want something more work harder for it save for it not just like uh let's just you know
trash the future and just rack up the credit cards if you rack up the credit cards you will be
poor the bible says in verse 18 the wicked shall be a ransom we'll speed up a little bit here for
the righteous and the transgressor for the upright verse 19 it is better to dwell in the wilderness
than with a contentious and an angry woman there is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling
of the wise but a foolish man spendeth it up so again the wise they're often taken care of
they're often providing they're often having all the things that they need the foolish person just
spends it up this is why just giving someone money does not necessarily fix their problems
if you just gave some fentanyl addict a million dollars they would not fix their situation they
would just buy a million dollars worth of fentanyl you know you give a homeless person money you're
pretty much just buying them alcohol drugs and cigarettes almost in every single case and it's
even just other people who maybe they're not on drugs but they just have a character issue where
they're super lazy and they're super covetous and they just have big character flaws if you just
bail them out and just give them ten thousand dollars give them all this money it probably
won't fix their situation because a foolish man spendeth it up why do all these professional
athletes make tens of millions of dollars and so many of them are poor and in debt it's not
because they don't have money it's because they're foolish and you know god wants us to be good
stewards with the things he's given us he's given us different things in life money children a church
here a ministry to take care of a job to do god is looking down and seeing how we do with the little
we've been given and oftentimes people are not being given more because god is seeing you're not
faithful with that which is least and you know the foolish person who spends all their money on games
and candy and drugs and alcohol and wasteful things god's not going to see fit to bless someone
like that with more he that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life
righteousness and honor the wise man scaleth the city of the mighty and casteth down the strength
of the confidence thereof you know i like this verse because it goes to show that
wisdom is better than strength and the wise man can scale the city of the mighty makes me think
about how this whole world is walking according to the course of the devil this whole world is
just you know in the devil's hands and following the devil's program but here in okoma city even
though most people here are not saved most people here are not going to a good church
you know through the wisdom of god's word we could scale this city we could overthrow the confidence
of the strength of the devil's program in this city not through our own strength not through our
own wisdom but through the wisdom of god's word and if you read first corinthians one you know
it goes into that how not many strong are called not many mighty not many wise after the flesh
god's chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the things that are wise
the weak things to confound the things that are mighty you know don't think that because oh we're
just some small independent fundamental baptist church in a big city of a million that we can't
do a lot no we can scale this city we can get the gospel to every single door in this city i believe
that that is super doable here in okc and you know what we need to have the mind to do that
not based on our own strength but based on god's word look what the bible says in verse 23 who so
keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles proud and haughty scorner is his
name who dealeth in proud wrath the desire of the sloth will killeth him for his hands refuse to
labor he coveteth greedily all the day long but the righteous giveth and spareth not it's funny
those who are giving and not sparing are often the people that god blesses with more meanwhile
this lazy person where his hands refuse to labor what is he doing he's coveting greedily all the
day long verse 27 the sacrifice of the wicked is abomination how much more when he bringeth it with
a wicked mind so again nothing the unsaved do please god including a hundred percent of false
religions so think about every single catholic service where they're doing the eucharist and
they're crossing themselves and they're doing the hail mary and they're repeating all these things
all of that a hundred percent of that is an abomination to god god looks down and even
though they have the name jesus christ they have some type of bible you know the sacrifice of the
wicked is abomination god views islam as an abomination mormonism judaism hinduism god
does not teach coexist god does not teach respect all religions in fact all religions besides the
true religion christianity is an abomination to god and you know it should be an abomination to
us too i hate it when christians are soft on other religions or christians like i've heard this from
christians in oklahoma like they're they're christians they're saved they believe the bible
but then they're like mad that ryan walters wants to bring the bible into public schools
it's like what's wrong with you like what would you rather have atheism what would you rather have
evolution what would you rather have the false religion of this world all of that is an abomination
to god why would you not want to promote the true religion it's crazy how brainwashed christians
have been today but notice this how much more when he bringeth it with a wicked mind so there are
people in false religions that are serving their false gods ignorantly they think that they're on
the right path they think that they're serving god they think they're doing right but that is
still an abomination but then there are those who are doing it with a wicked mind you know what this
is this is a reprobate false prophet reprobate false prophets they are not sincere people who
just think they're doing the right thing think that they're on the right track they're bringing
these sacrifices with a wicked mind second peter chapter 2 talks about how through covetousness
will they with fainted words make merchandise of you there are people who preach the word of god
not because they love god not because they are sincere but because they want to take your money
and throughout history there's been a lot of people like this like the catholic church selling
indulgences saying hey give us this large sum of money and we'll have a priest pray your loved
one into a higher level of purgatory right this is why jesus said that the pharisees were doing
what devouring widow's houses there are so many charlatans out there today there's so many liars
out there today that are just in the ministry to make money kenneth copeland right hey touch the
screen give us ten thousand dollars god will give you ten million back all this prosperity gospel
lying and nonsense they're not just oh i'm just a sincerely purse a sincere person who's confused
no they're wicked and they're bringing it with a wicked mind and those people even so much the more
god hates i believe that god hates false prophets more than anyone else they are the worst people on
planet earth because not only are they not going to heaven but they're trying to drag people to
hell with them they're trying to make people too full more the children of hell than themselves
they're not allowing others to go in they're suffering not people to go in jesus said god
hates that type of person verse 28 a false witness shall perish but the man that heareth speaketh
constantly a wicked man hardeneth his face but as for the upright he directed his way so a wicked
person when it says they harden their face it's saying they're not receptive they're not easily
corrected they don't want to be told that they're wrong they hear something from the bible they just
harden their face and you know what it's kind of a metaphor but in some ways it's very real
because some people when they're hardening their heart they're also hardening their face which is
why god had to tell ezekiel be not afraid of their faces what was he saying you're going to be
preaching to a group that's going to be making ugly and mean faces at you you know i've experienced
this when it came to the uh city council meetings that we went to in arlington texas during pride
month me and a bunch of guys from steadfast pastor shelly we went to the city council meeting where
there was just a whole room full of faggots and the city council and the mayor and the
mayor of arlington was going to declare pride month in arlington and of course you know the
only people that want that disgusting month celebrated are the filthy sodomites themselves
no one likes sodomites no one likes trannies everyone when they see a tranny their stomach
turns and they're grossed out and they know it's unnatural and gross everyone when they see pictures
of homos together or homos adopting children everyone knows that's an abomination and wicked
as hell even though so few people have the guts to say it right so what do we do we have the guts
to go say it we went up to the city council and we were ripping face to the mayor and to the city
councilman telling them that they were all wicked as hell that they were spineless that they were
helping destroy america and you know what i got i got some mean faces for mayor ross because mayor
ross is a little fag hack mayor ross is a little coward and he's gonna he's gonna kowtow and pander
to the reprobate sodomite pedophiles of arlington while he spits in the face of god while he spits
on the bible and on the word of god and you know what there's a lot of angry faces there was literal
hissing coming from the demons sitting on the other side of us it was bizarre folks hissing
and growling where the city council finally told them to quiet down a little bit but of course
they were letting them be super nasty and gross to us and all that stuff but you know what that
happens when you preach the word of god sometimes sometimes there's some angry faces sometimes
there's some mean faces i preached a whole sermon once called fix your face and man sometimes people
just need to fix their face now these people ran away so i hope they're fixing their face wherever
they are but i will preach against that and if you you make mean faces when i'm preaching the
word of god i might just park there in fact i've done that before i was preaching against alcohol
we had this visitor who was like a russian pentacostal and i was preaching against using
alcohol in um communion and this person's just like i'm just like oh okay we're gonna go on
alcohol for like the next 20 minutes like you're here this is probably the only time you're going
to be here i might as well just give it to you right now while you're here bible says in verse
number 30 there's no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the lord man it feels good to be
on the right side it feels good to know that you have the truth it feels good to know that when
you're preaching something out of the king james bible that there's no counsel there's no wisdom
there's no understanding against the lord and against his words you know we as christians we
should put our full faith and confidence in the word of god and not be wishy-washy about it not be
a double-minded man we should just say hey whatever this says is right and if oh in my own way in my
own opinion i think something else you ought to humble yourself and say no there's no understanding
there's no counsel there's no wisdom against the lord we need to believe whatever this says last
verse the bible says the horse is prepared against the day of battle but safety is of the lord what
is this closing thought the spirit of this verse that god is trying to get us to understand is that
god wants us to put our trust ultimately in him right god doesn't want us to walk in our own
understanding walk in our own ways god is the one who ponders the heart god is the one who gives us
his word and ultimately he wants us to trust in him nothing wrong with physical preparation i am
someone who is very much for things like firearms hey i hope you carry a gun i'm for that a lot of
christians get upset by that and think like oh christians shouldn't have guns jesus said hey if
you don't have a sword sell your garment and buy one you know you should be selling clothes if you
don't have a gun my dad taught me guns are for buying not for selling the proverbs of darren
awes that's a good that's a good proverbs right there guns are for buying not for selling hey i'm
for that i'm for you not only buying guns by the way but actually training with guns i've noticed
especially in this part of the country for whatever reason a lot of people own guns
but don't train with them and owning a gun and not training with them you know that's a bad idea
you need to actually know how to use your weapon hey i'm for men learning martial arts and being
ready to fight to have that horse prepared until the day of battle hey i've got medical gear i've
got all that stuff i love that stuff but here's the thing i'm not trusting in those things and
here's the thing when i go to a homicide scene to preach the gospel yeah i'm strapped yeah i've got
medical gear yeah i'm ready to go if i have to but at the end of the day i'm not even thinking
about that whatsoever i've got that thing ready i've trained i'm prepared but you know what safety
is of the lord and more importantly than worried about being a prepper worried about having all
the guns and ammo you could possibly buy and all the storable food and all the water purification
look what's more important than that is making sure you're right with god because if you're not
right with god you could have all the defenses and all the money and all the tools and god could
cause you to get killed by a woman in combat like a himelech in the book of judges you're such a
mighty warrior and then a woman could just cast a stone at your head and break your head into pieces
right hey i'm for being a mighty warrior but you know what trust in the lord i'm for you know our
church we've got a mission to do here and this mission it's going to take money it's going to
take people it's going to take resources but you know i'm not trusting in those things for our
church's success if our church is going to have success it's only going to be by the king james
bible by the spirit of god by god moving and working in people's hearts by god's people
not being lazy and not being slothful but going out and doing the work of god doing the great
commission actually going out and trying to live a godly life being humble praying asking god for
forgiveness turning from our wicked ways you know that is the only way that we have a chance of
being blessed and prosperous and succeeding in the battles of life with that let's go ahead and pray
lord thank you so much for this day thank you for the book of proverbs i pray that as we continue
to go through this book week by week that you would reveal truth to us that you'd help us to make
application in the right areas we need to lord i pray that you help every person in here to draw
closer to you that our hearts would fully trust in your word your counsels that we wouldn't walk
through life based on our own opinions that we'd be ready to change at any moment based on what the
bible says love you i pray that you bring us home safely this evening in jesus name we pray amen
all right for our final song we will go to 172 love divine all loves excelling love divine all
loves excelling song 172 love divine all loves excelling love to you all for coming god bless you
