00:10.500 --> 00:15.620
Good evening everyone. Welcome back to Anchor Baptist Church. It's time to get started this evening.

00:15.620 --> 00:22.980
If you would, go ahead and find a seat, grab a hymnal. Our first hymn is number 175.

00:22.980 --> 00:25.300
It's Just Like His Great Love.

00:28.900 --> 00:34.500
175, 175. It's just like his great love.

00:42.600 --> 00:44.600
175. Let's sing it out together.

00:45.100 --> 00:55.100
A friend I have called Jesus, whose love is strong and true,

00:55.100 --> 01:05.100
And never fails, out where it is tried, no matter what I do.

01:05.100 --> 01:13.100
I've sinned against this love of his, but when I knelt to pray

01:14.600 --> 01:20.600
Confessing all my guilt to Him

01:20.600 --> 01:25.600
The sin clouds rolled away

01:25.600 --> 01:30.600
It's just like Jesus to roll the clouds away

01:30.600 --> 01:35.600
It's just like Jesus to keep me day by day

01:35.600 --> 01:42.600
It's just like Jesus all along the way

01:42.600 --> 01:47.400
It's just like His great love

01:47.400 --> 01:52.600
Sometimes the clouds of trouble

01:52.600 --> 01:57.600
Beat Him the sky above

01:57.600 --> 02:02.600
I cannot see my Savior's face

02:02.600 --> 02:07.600
I doubt His wondrous love

02:07.600 --> 02:10.600
But He from heaven

02:10.600 --> 02:26.560
mercy seat beholding my despair in pity burst the clouds between and shows me he

02:26.560 --> 02:29.200
is there

02:29.300 --> 02:34.500
It's just like Jesus to roll the clouds away

02:34.500 --> 02:39.700
It's just like Jesus to keep me day by day

02:39.700 --> 02:45.900
It's just like Jesus all along the way

02:45.900 --> 02:51.300
It's just like His great love

02:51.300 --> 02:56.500
When sorrows, clouds, or take me

02:56.500 --> 02:57.300
And...

02:57.300 --> 03:13.700
break upon my head. When life seems worse than useless, and I, for better death, I take

03:13.700 --> 03:21.700
my grief to Jesus then, nor do I go in vain.

03:22.000 --> 03:28.400
For ev'ry hope he gives that cheers

03:28.400 --> 03:33.600
Like sunshine after rain

03:33.600 --> 03:39.000
It's just like Jesus to roll the clouds away

03:39.000 --> 03:44.000
It's just like Jesus to keep me day by day

03:44.000 --> 03:50.000
It's just like Jesus all along the way

03:50.000 --> 03:55.000
It's just like His great love.

03:55.000 --> 04:05.000
Oh, I could sing forever of Jesus' love divine.

04:06.000 --> 04:16.000
Of all his care and tenderness For this, for life of mine

04:16.000 --> 04:26.000
His love is in and over all And wind and waves obey

04:26.400 --> 04:37.900
When Jesus whispers, feast, be still, and rolls the clouds away.

04:37.900 --> 04:43.400
It's just like Jesus to roll the clouds away.

04:43.400 --> 04:48.400
It's just like Jesus to keep me day by day.

04:48.400 --> 04:54.400
It's just like Jesus all along the way.

04:54.400 --> 05:00.360
It's just like His great love.

05:00.360 --> 05:02.800
A minute this time will open with a word of prayer.

05:03.700 --> 05:08.420
Heavenly Father, we thank you again for another opportunity today to gather together, to sing

05:08.420 --> 05:13.220
praises once again unto you and to learn from your word. I just pray that you'd be with those

05:13.220 --> 05:17.620
salvations that were had this afternoon as well as the seeds that were planted and that you would

05:17.620 --> 05:23.140
just keep stirring up within us to do the first works to keep going out preaching and bearing

05:23.140 --> 05:27.700
that precious seed. I pray that after this service tonight that you would be with us all as we go our

05:27.700 --> 05:31.460
separate ways and that also you would open our ears again for the message.

05:31.700 --> 05:35.700
evening and continue to fill pasture with your spirit. These things we pray in

05:35.700 --> 05:44.100
Jesus name, Amen. For our next hymn number 43 we're marching to Zion.

05:49.300 --> 05:52.300
Hymn number 4343.

05:57.600 --> 06:00.620
43 we're marching to Zion. Let's sing it out

06:01.100 --> 06:09.640
Come we that love the Lord and let our joys be known.

06:09.640 --> 06:13.940
Join in a song with sweet accord.

06:13.940 --> 06:18.340
Join in a song with sweet accord.

06:18.340 --> 06:22.440
And thus surround the throne.

06:22.440 --> 06:26.440
And thus surround the throne.

06:26.440 --> 06:29.100
We're marching to Zion.

06:29.100 --> 06:34.940
Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion.

06:34.940 --> 06:43.380
We're marching upward to Zion, on the beautiful city of God.

06:43.380 --> 06:51.660
Let those refuse to sing who never knew our God.

06:51.660 --> 06:57.060
Children of the heavenly king, but children...

06:57.100 --> 07:00.100
of the heavenly king.

07:00.100 --> 07:04.100
May speak their joys abroad.

07:04.100 --> 07:08.100
May speak their joys abroad.

07:08.100 --> 07:12.100
We're marching to Zion.

07:12.100 --> 07:16.100
Beautiful, beautiful Zion.

07:16.100 --> 07:20.100
We're marching upward to Zion

07:20.100 --> 07:25.100
on the beautiful city of God.

07:25.100 --> 07:33.660
The hill of Zion yields a thousand sacred sweets.

07:33.660 --> 07:42.220
Before we reach the heavenly fields, before we reach the heavenly fields,

07:42.220 --> 07:50.500
or walk the golden streets, or walk the golden streets,

To fare her worlds on high

08:33.100 --> 08:37.660
We're marching to Zion

08:37.660 --> 08:40.860
Beautiful, beautiful Zion

08:40.860 --> 08:45.100

08:45.100 --> 08:49.100
On the beautiful city of God

08:49.100 --> 08:49.940
Bye.

08:56.200 --> 08:58.600
Welcome back to Anchor Baptist Church.

08:58.600 --> 09:01.400
This time we're going to go through our announcements.

09:01.400 --> 09:05.700
If you need a bulletin, raise your hand and an usher can bring you one.

09:05.700 --> 09:11.040
As a reminder there on the front we have our Bible memory passage of the week, 2 Timothy

09:11.040 --> 09:17.900
2, 16 and those kids that quote this after the Wednesday service can receive an ice cream.

09:17.900 --> 09:22.800
On the inside our service times are listed there on the left, Sunday morning at 10 30,

09:22.800 --> 09:24.200
Sunday evening at 430.

09:24.200 --> 09:27.880
in our Wednesday Bible study through the Gospel of Mark at 7 o'clock.

09:28.440 --> 09:32.200
Below that, all of our soul winning times are listed there.

09:32.200 --> 09:35.320
And just remember that we'll take a pause on the Saturday time

09:35.320 --> 09:38.200
for this upcoming week due to the soul winning marathon.

09:39.000 --> 09:42.360
But below that, we have our year to date soul winning statistics,

09:42.360 --> 09:45.160
and we have four salvations today. So great job with that.

09:45.700 --> 09:51.060
It's funny, we had a guy that got saved this afternoon who was actually leaving his apartment

09:51.060 --> 09:55.160
to go to work, which usually people want to give you an excuse of why they can't hear

09:55.160 --> 09:56.280
the gospel.

09:56.280 --> 09:59.400
This man's actually leaving on his way to work and he still wanted to listen to the

09:59.400 --> 10:01.200
gospel and got saved.

10:01.200 --> 10:04.440
So really just goes to show it's about the heart that's seeking truth that leads to someone

10:04.440 --> 10:05.720
getting saved.

10:05.720 --> 10:09.800
We heard some crazy excuses today of why someone didn't want to hear the gospel.

10:09.800 --> 10:11.360
One was they were bullied as a child.

10:11.360 --> 10:13.680
I don't know what that has to do with not wanting to listen to the gospel.

10:13.700 --> 10:17.380
right now and then another guy was stretching so those are the two excuses

10:17.380 --> 10:20.260
we got meanwhile we got a guy actually going to work and he listened to God

10:20.260 --> 10:23.380
save so pretty funny you go soul winning you'll run into some funny things that's

10:23.380 --> 10:28.660
for sure let's see we have our online visitor card there if you scan that QR

10:28.660 --> 10:33.460
code we have our online giving information at the second QR code we do

10:33.460 --> 10:37.660
have our prayer list that's updated there and make sure to keep all those in

10:37.660 --> 10:41.700
prayer throughout the week if you have any requests please do email the church

10:41.700 --> 10:45.860
and we'd be happy to add that for you and just make sure to indicate whether

10:45.860 --> 10:49.740
that's a private request for myself or a public request you'd like on the

10:49.740 --> 10:54.300
bulletin and we will get that prayed for for sure. Upcoming events like I said

10:54.300 --> 10:58.140
this upcoming Saturday Joplin Missouri Soul Winning Marathon we've been looking

10:58.140 --> 11:02.260
forward to this for a long time teaming up with a couple of different Baptist

11:02.260 --> 11:07.220
churches Kansas City Baptist Church and Straight Paths Baptist Church and so

11:07.220 --> 11:09.500
we're really excited to see those guys.

11:09.800 --> 11:13.060
He got Pastor Snyder up at Kansas City Baptist Church.

11:13.060 --> 11:16.760
And then Brother Eric, I want to say his last name is Ilgen Fritz.

11:16.760 --> 11:18.320
It's a little harder of a last name.

11:18.320 --> 11:22.600
Brother Eric Ilgen Fritz is the boots on the ground in St. Louis.

11:22.600 --> 11:25.200
And he just had a baby last week, but he's still going.

11:25.200 --> 11:27.600
He's still going to be with us at the Soul Winning Marathon.

11:27.600 --> 11:31.760
And so we're excited to see him and get to spend some time with them.

11:31.760 --> 11:35.920
Then we have the next event is October 18th, the men's preaching night.

11:35.920 --> 11:37.800
There is a sign up sheet in the back.

11:37.800 --> 11:41.400
If you want to participate that, definitely encourage you to do so.

11:41.400 --> 11:45.240
Fifteen minute sermons, you just got to write down what topic you're preaching on.

11:45.240 --> 11:47.720
It'd be greatly helpful if you do that.

11:47.720 --> 11:50.880
October 31st is our annual Chili Cook-Off.

11:51.500 --> 11:57.900
November 7th is the Enid Oklahoma soul winning marathon and November 22nd is the two-year anniversary

11:58.420 --> 12:05.540
With pastor Bruce Mejia preaching for us. So that is it for announcements tonight. Let's go ahead and go to our third song together

12:09.300 --> 12:14.300
Our third song this evening, number 102, 102,

12:16.800 --> 12:18.760
He Hideth My Soul.

12:31.700 --> 12:34.700
102, let's sing it out together.

12:34.700 --> 12:42.700
A wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Lord.

12:42.700 --> 12:47.700
A wonderful Savior to me.

12:49.500 --> 13:01.780
He hideth my soul in the left of the rock, Where rivers of leisure I see.

13:03.900 --> 13:11.100
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,

13:11.100 --> 13:18.100
At shadows a dry, thirsty land.

13:18.100 --> 13:25.300
He hideth my light in the depths of his love,

13:25.300 --> 13:31.100
And covers me there with his hand.

13:32.300 --> 13:37.300
And God verse me there with his hand

13:39.600 --> 13:54.160
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, He taketh my burden away.

13:54.160 --> 14:07.400
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved, He giveth me strength as my day.

14:08.300 --> 14:15.620
He hideth my soul in the glad of the rock,

14:15.620 --> 14:22.100
At shadows of dry, thirsty land.

14:22.900 --> 14:30.340
He hideth my life in the depths of his love,

14:30.340 --> 14:37.540
And covers me there with his hand,

14:37.540 --> 14:41.140
And covers me there with his hand.

14:44.800 --> 14:52.240
With numberless blessings each moment he crowns

14:52.240 --> 14:59.520
And filled with his fullness divine

14:59.520 --> 15:06.880
I sing in my rapture, O Glory to God

15:06.880 --> 15:11.520
For such a Redeemer as mine

15:14.000 --> 15:21.400
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock

15:21.400 --> 15:28.400
That shadows a dry, thirsty land.

15:28.800 --> 15:36.240
He hideth my life in the depths of his love,

15:36.240 --> 15:43.520
And covers me there with his hand,

15:43.520 --> 15:47.840
And covers me there with his hand.

15:50.900 --> 15:54.700
When clothed in his brightness,

15:54.700 --> 15:58.400
transported I rise

15:58.400 --> 16:05.900
to meet him in clouds of the sky.

16:05.900 --> 16:09.700
His perfect salvation,

16:09.700 --> 16:13.400
his wonderful love,

16:13.400 --> 16:18.400
I'll shout with the millions on high.

16:20.800 --> 16:28.320
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock

16:28.320 --> 16:35.600
That shadows a dry, thirsty land.

16:35.600 --> 16:39.280
He hideth my life...

16:39.400 --> 16:43.060
in the depths of his love

16:43.060 --> 16:50.400
and covers me there with his hand

16:50.400 --> 16:54.300
and covers me there with his hand

16:57.800 --> 17:08.600
Men, as the offering plates are being passed, turn if you would to 2 Samuel 11.

17:48.400 --> 17:51.040
Second Samuel chapter 11 the Bible reads,

17:51.040 --> 17:53.160
And it came to pass after the year was expired,

17:53.160 --> 17:55.440
at the time when kings go forth to battle,

17:55.440 --> 17:57.840
that David sent Joab and his servants with him

17:57.840 --> 18:00.840
and all Israel, and they destroyed the children of Ammon

18:00.840 --> 18:05.840
and besieged Rabah, but David tarried still at Jerusalem.

18:06.000 --> 18:07.680
And it came to pass in an even tide

18:07.680 --> 18:09.720
that David arose from off his bed

18:09.720 --> 18:11.920
and walked upon the roof of the king's house.

18:12.200 --> 18:17.000
And from the roof he saw a woman washing herself, and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

18:17.000 --> 18:20.280
And David sent and inquired after the woman, and one said,

18:20.840 --> 18:24.600
Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

18:25.160 --> 18:29.960
And David sent messengers and took her, and she came in unto him, and he lied with her.

18:30.520 --> 18:35.560
For she was purified from her uncleanness, and she returned unto her house.

18:35.560 --> 18:39.400
And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am a child.

18:40.000 --> 18:43.680
And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite.

18:43.680 --> 18:46.320
And Joab sent Uriah to David.

18:46.320 --> 18:50.960
And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did,

18:50.960 --> 18:53.840
and how the people did, and how the war prospered.

18:53.840 --> 18:57.600
And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet.

18:57.600 --> 19:02.240
And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.

19:02.900 --> 19:07.940
But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord and went not down to his house.

19:08.900 --> 19:13.540
And when they had told David saying Uriah went not down into his house, David said unto Uriah,

19:14.100 --> 19:16.100
cameest thou not from thy journey?

19:16.500 --> 19:19.460
Why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?

19:20.340 --> 19:27.620
And Uriah said unto David, the ark and Israel and Judah abide in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of

19:28.300 --> 19:30.540
and my Lord are encamped in the open fields.

19:30.540 --> 19:34.460
Shall I then go into mine house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife?

19:34.460 --> 19:38.060
As thou livest and as I so liveth, I will not do this thing.'

19:38.060 --> 19:39.820
And David said to Uriah,

19:39.820 --> 19:44.060
"'Tare you here today also, and tomorrow I will let thee depart.'

19:44.060 --> 19:47.820
So Uriah bowed in Jerusalem that day and the morrow.

19:47.820 --> 19:52.780
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him, and he made him drunk."

19:53.100 --> 19:59.100
And at the evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.

19:59.100 --> 20:05.100
And it came to pass in the morning that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

20:05.100 --> 20:07.100
And he wrote in the letter saying,

20:07.100 --> 20:13.100
Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten and die.

20:13.100 --> 20:19.900
And it came to pass when Joab observed to the city that he assigned Uriah into a place where he knew that valiant men were.

20:20.300 --> 20:24.820
And the men of the city went out and fought with Joab, and there fell some of the people

20:24.820 --> 20:28.660
of the servants of David, and Uriah the Hittite died also.

20:28.660 --> 20:33.980
Then Joab sent and told David all things concerning the war, and charged the messenger, saying,

20:33.980 --> 20:38.460
When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king, and if so

20:38.460 --> 20:44.780
be that the king's wrath rise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approach ye so nigh unto

20:44.780 --> 20:46.620
the city when ye did fight?

20:47.400 --> 20:50.400
Knew ye not that they should shoot from the wall?

20:50.400 --> 20:53.840
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubosheth?

20:53.840 --> 20:58.080
Did not a woman cast a piece of millstone upon him from the wall,

20:58.080 --> 21:00.560
that he died in Thebes?

21:00.560 --> 21:02.760
Why went ye not into the wall?

21:02.760 --> 21:06.080
Then say thou, thy servant Uriah, that Hittite is dead also.

21:06.500 --> 21:10.580
So the messenger went and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.

21:10.580 --> 21:14.580
And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us

21:14.580 --> 21:19.140
and came out unto us in the field, and we were upon them even unto the

21:19.140 --> 21:23.780
entering of the gate. And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants,

21:23.780 --> 21:27.860
and some of the king's servants be dead. And thy servant Uriah, they hid tight,

21:27.860 --> 21:31.200
he is dead also. Then David said unto the messenger,

21:31.400 --> 21:37.000
Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another.

21:37.000 --> 21:40.920
Make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it, and encourage thou him.

21:41.720 --> 21:46.120
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

21:46.760 --> 21:50.280
And when the morning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house,

21:50.280 --> 21:55.480
and she became his wife, and bear him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.

21:55.480 --> 21:56.400
That's great.

21:56.800 --> 22:00.000
Your Lord, I want to thank you for your mercy and kindness. I want to thank you for your

22:00.000 --> 22:03.680
forgiveness and safety. I ask you to help my community, soften our hearts with your

22:03.680 --> 22:08.160
preaching, fill our hearts with your spirit, and offer up your heart in this holy place. Amen.

22:08.160 --> 22:09.760
Amen. Second Samuel chapter

22:11.000 --> 22:16.680
verse 1 there the bible says and it came to pass after the year was expired at the time when kings

22:16.680 --> 22:23.080
go forth to battle that david sent joab and his servants with him and all israel and they destroyed

22:23.080 --> 22:28.300
the children of ammon and beseeched rabba but david tarried still at jerusalem

22:28.300 --> 22:35.300
And it came to pass in an evening tide that David arose from off his bed and walked upon the roof of the king's house.

22:35.300 --> 22:41.300
And from the roof he saw a woman washing herself, and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

22:41.300 --> 22:44.300
And David sent and inquired after the woman.

22:44.700 --> 22:52.140
It once said, is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite.

22:52.140 --> 22:56.660
So here we see King David, he's not where he's supposed to be in life.

22:56.660 --> 23:01.260
Right here the Bible says that it's the time that kings go forth to battle and David is

23:01.260 --> 23:05.100
not staying busy being involved in that battle.

23:05.100 --> 23:08.080
He's up late at night doing what he's not supposed to be doing.

23:08.080 --> 23:12.020
He's not involved in the fighting and he's kind of just walking around on the rooftop

23:12.020 --> 23:12.700
and you just.

23:12.700 --> 23:15.260
so happens to see a woman that's bathing,

23:15.260 --> 23:17.660
and he doesn't take that opportunity to go back inside

23:17.660 --> 23:19.460
and say, hey, I shouldn't be looking at this.

23:19.460 --> 23:22.060
He kind of just enjoys the sight of this beautiful woman.

23:22.060 --> 23:24.740
And then he's about to sin the most grievous sin

23:24.740 --> 23:25.780
of his whole life.

23:25.780 --> 23:27.520
He's about to commit adultery.

23:27.700 --> 23:30.900
with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite,

23:30.900 --> 23:33.500
which is going to lead to him to sinning even greater

23:33.500 --> 23:37.700
by committing murder, by having Uriah killed in battle.

23:37.700 --> 23:40.800
And of course, this is going to have lifelong consequences

23:40.800 --> 23:42.500
for King David, right?

23:42.500 --> 23:46.000
He ends up suffering greatly because of this situation.

23:46.000 --> 23:48.200
One of his children ends up dying, right?

23:48.200 --> 23:50.100
His newborn ends up dying.

23:50.100 --> 23:53.700
Also, one of his other sons ends up lying with his wives

23:53.700 --> 23:54.900
in the side of all Israel.

23:54.900 --> 23:55.700
That's quite a horrible...

23:55.700 --> 24:00.120
horrible punishment. Then Nathan the prophet sends a message from God saying, hey, the

24:00.120 --> 24:04.800
sword is not going to depart from your household forever. Just saying, like, God is angry at

24:04.800 --> 24:09.440
you and he's going to cause you to have violence and wars and all of these issues.

24:09.900 --> 24:14.540
And normally when we read this story, we focus on David himself and what he's doing.

24:14.540 --> 24:18.620
But I want to focus tonight on kind of an unsung hero of this story,

24:18.620 --> 24:21.020
someone who doesn't really get a lot of attention.

24:21.020 --> 24:25.260
And we don't even have this person's name. We don't know much about this person.

24:25.260 --> 24:26.540
But look what it says in verse three.

24:27.260 --> 24:32.380
It says, and David sent and inquired after the woman noticed this and one said,

24:33.100 --> 24:37.180
is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam,

24:37.180 --> 24:40.540
the wife of Uriah the Hittite.

24:40.540 --> 24:43.440
So this person in the Bible is nameless.

24:43.440 --> 24:44.740
We don't know much about him.

24:44.740 --> 24:46.840
We don't know his estate and life.

24:46.840 --> 24:48.480
We don't know a whole lot about this guy.

24:48.480 --> 24:51.160
But here is one thing that we know about this man

24:51.160 --> 24:53.260
is that he said something.

24:53.900 --> 24:59.100
He said something. He pointed out that what David was about to do was wrong.

24:59.100 --> 25:04.060
And you know what? This had to have taken a lot of courage, right? Because King David is the king.

25:04.620 --> 25:09.500
He's the man. He's the guy with authority. And here is this nameless person. We don't know much

25:09.500 --> 25:14.060
about him, but he's saying like, Hey, I know I'm not much of anything. I know I'm no one, but

25:14.060 --> 25:17.020
Hey, King David is not this someone's wife.

25:17.600 --> 25:20.600
Hey David, is not this someone's daughter?

25:20.600 --> 25:22.600
And you know what I like about this man?

25:22.600 --> 25:24.600
Is that this man said something.

25:24.600 --> 25:26.600
That is the title of my sermon this evening is,

25:26.600 --> 25:28.600
Say Something.

25:28.600 --> 25:30.600
Say Something.

25:31.100 --> 25:34.940
If you would, go ahead and turn to 1 Kings chapter number 22.

25:34.940 --> 25:36.740
1 Kings chapter number 22.

25:36.740 --> 25:41.140
I want to give you a few statements this evening on this idea of saying something.

25:41.140 --> 25:47.580
Okay, number one, have the courage to stand for biblical truth, even if you are in the minority.

25:48.000 --> 25:52.080
right? Even doesn't matter what this world says doesn't matter what people say or think

25:52.080 --> 25:57.520
what matters is what is right. What matters is what the Bible says. It also doesn't matter who

25:57.520 --> 26:02.560
is committing a sin even if it's King David himself. You know what right is right wrong is wrong

26:02.560 --> 26:07.920
and we need to be willing to stand for biblical truth even if we are in the minority. And let me

26:07.920 --> 26:13.760
just warn you if you decide to actually stand for what the Bible says you will be in the minority.

26:14.400 --> 26:20.560
Notice what the Bible said in this story. It said and one said it didn't say two or three or four or five

26:20.640 --> 26:24.280
There was one and you know it is often the vast

26:24.720 --> 26:29.480
minority of people that are actually willing to take a stand on the Word of God and

26:29.960 --> 26:33.680
Even amongst Christians and even amongst fundamentalists

26:33.680 --> 26:40.000
It's few who are actually willing to say everything that the Bible says that are willing to stand on biblical truth

26:40.600 --> 26:44.840
Let me read for you. Stay there in 1 Kings 22. Psalm 12 says,

26:44.840 --> 26:52.280
Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth, for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

26:52.280 --> 26:57.000
So it sounds like the Bible saying, hey, those who are godly and those who are faithful are going to

26:57.000 --> 26:58.500
be the minority.

26:58.500 --> 27:04.360
It's not like you're just going to find a red hot, soul winning, hard preaching, King

27:04.360 --> 27:08.700
James only, fundamental, independent Baptist church on every street corner.

27:08.700 --> 27:10.480
That's not the world that we live in.

27:10.480 --> 27:15.780
And even in a great place like Oklahoma City, where we are in the buckle of the Bible belt,

27:15.780 --> 27:20.000
if you will, there still is way more bad churches in this city than good ones.

27:20.300 --> 27:25.820
It's not even close. There's way more churches in this city that will tickle your ears and lie to

27:25.820 --> 27:30.620
you and not really tell you the full truth of what the Bible says. Then there are preachers who will

27:30.620 --> 27:35.420
say, thus saith the Lord, here's what the Bible says. I don't care what the news says. I don't

27:35.420 --> 27:40.700
care what other Christians say. What does God say? Those type of people are very rare. Here's another

27:40.700 --> 27:44.380
story that illustrates this. First Kings 22 verse one.

27:44.900 --> 27:48.900
and they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

27:48.900 --> 27:54.900
And it came to pass in the third year that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

27:54.900 --> 28:00.340
And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth and Gilead is ours,

28:00.340 --> 28:04.180
and we be still and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?

28:04.180 --> 28:09.540
And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?

28:10.200 --> 28:15.600
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people,

28:15.600 --> 28:18.000
my horses as thy horses.

28:18.000 --> 28:21.400
Now I would submit to you that what Jehoshaphat doing here is not good.

28:21.800 --> 28:27.560
because the king of Israel, the northern kingdom there, Ahab, was a very wicked reign, right?

28:27.560 --> 28:32.680
He's married to Jezebel. It's just a lot of wickedness and idolatry going on in Israel.

28:32.680 --> 28:37.080
And here comes Ahab to Jehoshaphat and says, hey, are you with me in this battle? Are you going to

28:37.080 --> 28:42.040
fight with me? And Jehoshaphat just immediately just concedes to what he's saying. Yeah, I'm with

28:42.040 --> 28:46.920
you. My horses are your horses. Notice he doesn't consult with the Lord before he comes to this

28:46.920 --> 28:49.800
conclusion he just says I'm with you buddy.

28:49.800 --> 28:55.040
go ahead and yoke up with the northern kingdom of Israel. Then what's funny is notice verse

28:55.040 --> 29:01.440
5, and Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord

29:01.440 --> 29:05.920
today. So after he already said, I'll fight with you, he's like, hey, maybe we should

29:05.920 --> 29:10.120
get God involved in this. Maybe we should consult and see what the Lord thinks about

29:10.120 --> 29:13.920
this situation after he already said, I'll go and fight with you. Right? So that's the

29:13.920 --> 29:15.480
the wrong order already.

29:16.000 --> 29:22.440
Notice it says in verse 6, then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about

29:22.440 --> 29:29.920
400 men, and said unto them, Shall I go up against Ramoph Gilead to battle, or shall

29:29.920 --> 29:31.360
I forbear?

29:31.360 --> 29:32.520
And they said, Go up.

29:32.900 --> 29:37.060
for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king."

29:37.060 --> 29:38.820
And of course, reading this chapter,

29:38.820 --> 29:41.540
we understand that these are the false prophets.

29:41.540 --> 29:43.180
These are not men of God.

29:43.180 --> 29:46.660
But notice how it's the majority that are the false prophets.

29:46.660 --> 29:49.660
There's 400 men that are just willing to tell the king what

29:49.660 --> 29:52.500
he wants to hear, willing to just tickle his ear.

29:52.500 --> 29:55.180
And of course, that's the case in our world today as well.

29:55.180 --> 29:58.300
The vast majority of preachers, the vast majority of pastors

29:58.300 --> 29:59.340
are false prophets.

29:59.700 --> 30:05.380
The vast majority of teachers of the Word of God are not really caring as much about what the Bible says

30:05.380 --> 30:11.460
as they care about, you know, getting money, getting crowds, getting following, getting power, getting authority.

30:11.460 --> 30:15.860
Okay, notice it says in verse number seven,

30:15.860 --> 30:17.460
And Jehoshaphat said...

30:17.700 --> 30:26.340
Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides that we might inquire of him saying like hey isn't there a prophet of Jehovah?

30:26.500 --> 30:30.500
Isn't there like a real man of God that we can go to and inquire of?

30:31.060 --> 30:36.500
Okay, notice verse 8 and the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat. There is yet how many?

30:37.020 --> 30:39.020
one man

30:39.180 --> 30:41.180
Micaiah the son of Imla

30:41.500 --> 30:47.460
So notice, there's not a plethora of real prophets of Jehovah that are ready to preach

30:47.460 --> 30:50.960
the full counsel of God, ready to tell the King the truth.

30:50.960 --> 30:52.940
There was only one.

30:52.940 --> 30:53.940
Why?

30:53.940 --> 30:57.740
Because it is always the minority that is willing to stand for truth.

30:58.100 --> 31:02.260
King David's about to sin. It says there's one that actually said something.

31:02.260 --> 31:05.780
You got all these false prophets here, 400 false prophets. The king's like,

31:05.780 --> 31:09.940
hey, isn't there any real pastor here? Isn't there any real preacher here? There's one.

31:10.500 --> 31:15.620
There's one real one here. Micaiah the son of Imlaunotus, by whom we may inquire of the Lord,

31:15.620 --> 31:22.740
but I hate him, for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.

31:23.400 --> 31:26.440
And Jehoshaphat said, let not the king say so.

31:26.540 --> 31:30.340
Right, so here we learn why there are few real ones

31:30.440 --> 31:33.280
in this world that actually will preach the rough messages

31:33.380 --> 31:34.780
that need to be preached, because it's

31:34.880 --> 31:36.180
going to get you hated.

31:36.800 --> 31:40.480
Right? And a lot of people are not willing to be hated.

31:40.480 --> 31:43.280
Now, this could be for a man of God, right?

31:43.280 --> 31:45.200
A lot of pastors are not willing

31:45.200 --> 31:47.400
to have their congregation get mad at them.

31:47.400 --> 31:49.520
They're not willing to have ladies in the congregation

31:49.520 --> 31:51.240
ever disagree with their sermon.

31:51.240 --> 31:53.040
They dead sure wouldn't ever want to be caught

31:53.040 --> 31:54.680
in a news article.

31:54.680 --> 31:57.120
They would never want their sermons to go viral.

31:57.120 --> 32:00.240
In fact, oftentimes, they like to title their sermons

32:00.240 --> 32:03.320
October 4th, 2026, because they don't want anyone

32:03.320 --> 32:04.520
to listen to their preaching.

32:04.700 --> 32:09.500
Or they'll put it on their website behind a password because they don't want anyone to hear what they're saying

32:09.740 --> 32:15.340
Whereas hey this man he's the one why because he's hated and here's the thing being hated

32:15.420 --> 32:17.660
It's not bad if you're hated for the word of god, right?

32:17.660 --> 32:25.180
That's not something we should run from but it says hey, I hate him. Why for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil

32:26.220 --> 32:31.900
Right, so it's it's hard. Oftentimes our human nature. It's hard to bring a negative message

32:32.500 --> 32:35.800
It's hard. A lot of people are just people pleasers by nature.

32:35.800 --> 32:38.600
And let's think about this not even from a pastor's perspective,

32:38.600 --> 32:40.500
even from your own personal life.

32:40.500 --> 32:43.500
Look, sometimes there's times where you need to say something.

32:43.500 --> 32:47.100
Like you need to say, hey, this is wrong, or hey, we're not going to do this.

32:47.100 --> 32:49.800
And you don't want to lie about why you're not going to do it.

32:49.800 --> 32:53.600
Sometimes you say, hey, we're Christians, we believe the Bible, we're not going to do this.

32:53.600 --> 32:57.200
But you want to know why that's hard? Because you have to give a negative message.

32:57.400 --> 33:02.480
It's not really the positive messages that are wrong with what false prophets teach. Oftentimes

33:02.480 --> 33:05.760
It's the fact that they also won't preach the negative, right?

33:05.760 --> 33:09.160
So if you're gonna stand for biblical truth, let me just translate that for you

33:09.160 --> 33:15.680
It means you're gonna be preaching a negative message a lot and you know what a lot of biblical preaching is negative

33:15.680 --> 33:20.800
It's preaching against stuff. It's pointing out error go to Jeremiah 1

33:22.100 --> 33:27.380
While you're turning there, Luke 6 22 says, blessed are ye when men shall hate you and

33:27.380 --> 33:32.020
when they shall separate you from their company and shall reproach you and cast out your name

33:32.020 --> 33:34.580
as evil for the son of man's sake.

33:34.580 --> 33:40.020
So look, if you actually say something, if you actually take a stand for biblical truth,

33:40.020 --> 33:42.880
it's very likely that you will be hated.

33:42.880 --> 33:43.880
But guess what?

33:43.880 --> 33:45.660
Jesus said that it is a blessing.

33:46.100 --> 33:52.420
When this man said to David, hey, isn't this someone's wife? Isn't this someone's daughter?

33:52.420 --> 33:58.100
I'm sure David inside wasn't very happy with that man at that moment, right? He's the king. He's used

33:58.100 --> 34:02.500
to people just carrying out his orders. And all of a sudden now he's being called out. His morality

34:02.500 --> 34:07.700
is being called out by this person that the Bible doesn't even seem to deem significant enough to

34:07.700 --> 34:08.420
give us his name.

34:09.100 --> 34:11.600
Right? That had to have had a little twinge in his heart.

34:11.600 --> 34:15.100
But you know what? If this man was hated in that moment for doing what was right,

34:15.100 --> 34:17.600
Jesus said, blessed are you.

34:17.600 --> 34:20.600
Right? So we want to not have that people pleasing tendency.

34:20.600 --> 34:23.100
We want to have a God pleasing tendency.

34:23.100 --> 34:27.100
Right? Because we know that if we're hated by this world for standing what's right,

34:27.100 --> 34:29.100
that means that God is pleased with us.

34:29.100 --> 34:32.100
But here's the thing. If you're pleasing to man at all times,

34:32.100 --> 34:34.600
you know who's not pleased with you? God.

34:34.800 --> 34:36.600
And that's who we should be worried about.

34:36.600 --> 34:38.740
Jeremiah 1 verse 9,

34:38.740 --> 34:42.240
Then the Lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth.

34:42.240 --> 34:45.120
And the Lord said unto me, Behold,

34:45.120 --> 34:47.840
I have put my words in thy mouth.

34:47.840 --> 34:49.240
So God is sending Jeremiah.

34:49.240 --> 34:51.620
God has a message for Jeremiah to preach.

34:51.620 --> 34:53.960
See, I have set this day.

34:54.200 --> 34:59.260
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to

34:59.260 --> 35:04.640
pull down and to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.

35:04.640 --> 35:07.440
Notice how it's mostly negative there, negative language.

35:07.440 --> 35:12.600
Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou?

35:12.600 --> 35:15.160
And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

35:15.160 --> 35:17.920
Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen.

35:17.920 --> 35:19.900
I will hasten my word to perform it.

35:20.000 --> 35:24.240
And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou?

35:24.240 --> 35:28.240
And I said, I see a seething pot, and the face thereof is toward the north.

35:28.500 --> 35:33.940
Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants

35:33.940 --> 35:38.980
of the land. For lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, sayeth the Lord,

35:38.980 --> 35:43.860
and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of

35:43.860 --> 35:49.620
Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.

35:50.200 --> 35:52.960
So what is the message that God has for Jeremiah?

35:52.960 --> 35:55.400
Hey Jeremiah, I want you to preach this message, alright?

35:55.400 --> 35:58.480
I've put my words in your mouth, I've touched your lips.

35:58.480 --> 35:59.600
Here's the message.

35:59.600 --> 36:01.840
The Northern Kingdom, the Babylonians,

36:01.840 --> 36:03.960
are coming to siege Jerusalem.

36:03.960 --> 36:05.320
And they're gonna wreck you guys,

36:05.320 --> 36:08.000
they're gonna destroy you guys, they're gonna take over.

36:08.000 --> 36:08.840
You know what this is?

36:08.840 --> 36:11.080
A negative message.

36:11.080 --> 36:13.240
But just because a message is negative

36:13.240 --> 36:15.000
does not mean that it's not biblical.

36:15.100 --> 36:20.540
Right? A lot of Christians today don't want to listen to a negative message just because it's mean

36:20.540 --> 36:25.100
or just because they don't like how it sounds. But we shouldn't care whether or not you think it's mean.

36:25.100 --> 36:31.820
We should care, is it what the Bible says? Because Jeremiah's message was of God. God touched his lips.

36:31.820 --> 36:37.340
God gave him the word. He says, hey, Jeremiah, go preach this. Go be that one that says something.

36:37.800 --> 36:43.400
Okay, look at verse 16, and I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness

36:43.800 --> 36:49.880
Who have forsaken me and have burned incense unto other gods and worship the works of their own hints

36:50.040 --> 36:52.040
Does this sound like a joel osteen?

36:52.980 --> 36:58.040
Encouragement live your best life message. He's like hey go tell them what wicked people they are

36:58.600 --> 37:04.700
And go preach against the idolatry and the false religion and let them know that i'm mad. That's what he's preaching

37:05.300 --> 37:06.660
Okay, look at verse 17.

37:06.660 --> 37:12.700
Thou therefore gird up thy loins and arise and speak unto them all that I command thee.

37:12.700 --> 37:19.740
Notice this, be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

37:19.740 --> 37:22.000
Why does God tell Jeremiah this?

37:22.000 --> 37:25.240
Because human nature is to resist conflict.

37:25.500 --> 37:30.960
Human nature is we want to get along we don't want to make people mad we want people to like us

37:30.960 --> 37:35.140
But he's saying here's the problem Jeremiah. You're not going to be able to do that if you preach this message

37:35.460 --> 37:39.760
This is a message that is a negative one. You're gonna be preaching against their religion

37:39.860 --> 37:45.860
You're gonna be preaching against their nation and here's the thing throughout Jeremiah's ministry. What was he hated?

37:46.500 --> 37:50.540
despised, rejected, falsely accused.

37:50.540 --> 37:53.140
He's accused of having turned to the Chaldees,

37:53.140 --> 37:54.940
they're saying, oh, you're not patriotic.

37:54.940 --> 37:56.440
You turned over to the enemy.

37:56.440 --> 37:57.540
You hate our nation.

37:57.540 --> 37:59.380
He's thrown into the dungeon, right?

37:59.380 --> 38:00.420
So here's the thing.

38:00.420 --> 38:02.540
As human beings, we don't want to be hated.

38:02.540 --> 38:04.060
We don't want to be thrown in the dungeon.

38:04.060 --> 38:05.720
We don't want to be falsely accused.

38:05.720 --> 38:07.880
So there's this temptation

38:07.880 --> 38:10.220
to not preach the whole counsel of God.

38:10.700 --> 38:15.260
There's a temptation to not say the whole truth because we don't want to offend people.

38:15.260 --> 38:16.940
But notice what the command of God is.

38:16.940 --> 38:20.460
He says, be not afraid of their faces.

38:20.460 --> 38:23.340
He's saying, hey, they're not going to like the message.

38:23.340 --> 38:25.580
They're not going to want to hear the words of God.

38:25.580 --> 38:26.580
And you know what?

38:26.580 --> 38:29.020
That's going to be expressed in their negative countenance.

38:29.020 --> 38:31.460
They're going to be making ugly faces at you, Jeremiah.

38:31.460 --> 38:33.780
He says, hey, don't be afraid of their faces.

38:33.780 --> 38:35.900
Otherwise I will confound you.

38:36.300 --> 38:40.060
So it's like, hey, you want to direct your fear somewhere, you direct it at God.

38:40.860 --> 38:44.060
Because you know what, if you don't preach the whole council of God,

38:44.060 --> 38:50.060
if you don't say something, then God himself will confound you and make you look like an idiot.

38:50.300 --> 38:52.700
And you know what, we see this all the time.

38:52.700 --> 38:57.100
You see pastors that they just won't touch on those controversial issues.

38:57.100 --> 38:59.580
They dance around Romans chapter 1.

38:59.580 --> 39:01.980
They dance around Matthew 24.

39:01.980 --> 39:04.220
They dance around Leviticus 20 13.

39:04.220 --> 39:07.500
And you know what, God makes them ending up looking like complete idiots.

39:08.060 --> 39:11.580
You know, it reminds me of when we were being protested in Watauga, Texas.

39:12.300 --> 39:16.060
And one of my sermons went viral in 2022.

39:16.060 --> 39:17.700
And one of the neighboring churches,

39:17.700 --> 39:19.500
we had two churches preach against us.

39:19.500 --> 39:22.740
We had First Baptist Church of Watauga preach against us.

39:22.740 --> 39:25.900
And we had some Nazarene church preach against us.

39:26.000 --> 39:32.080
And this Nazarene pastor, he came to our protesters who were people who were just openly witches,

39:32.080 --> 39:38.360
openly satanic, openly trans, openly violent, holding signs like with my face saying like

39:38.360 --> 39:43.240
we shoot back, stuff like this, like openly just wicked satanic reprobates.

39:43.240 --> 39:48.000
And he's over there giving these people subway sandwiches and just blessing the enemies of

39:48.000 --> 39:49.880
God, feeding the enemies of God.

39:49.880 --> 39:50.880
And you know what?

39:50.880 --> 39:52.880
made an ass of himself by doing that.

39:53.200 --> 39:56.240
because anyone with two brain cells to rub together can say,

39:56.340 --> 39:59.440
hey, these people are wicked, disgusting individuals,

39:59.540 --> 40:02.940
and here's a pastor helping this guy, right?

40:03.040 --> 40:06.080
And then he preaches a sermon talking about how, yeah,

40:06.180 --> 40:09.580
you know, Leviticus 20 13 is in the Bible.

40:09.680 --> 40:12.680
And it does say that, you know, wipe my tears real quick,

40:12.780 --> 40:14.620
that sodomites should be put to death.

40:14.720 --> 40:15.620
It does say that.

40:16.200 --> 40:21.340
He's like, yeah, me and my seminary buddies in college, we just poured over this verse

40:21.340 --> 40:23.140
and we just prayed about this verse.

40:23.140 --> 40:26.740
We just read this verse and we just can't figure out what it means.

40:26.740 --> 40:28.580
And it's like, you know what happened?

40:28.580 --> 40:32.900
God has confounded this person and made him look like an idiot because you know what it

40:32.900 --> 40:33.980
means, coward.

40:33.980 --> 40:35.940
You just read it and you just told us what it means.

40:35.940 --> 40:39.540
He's like, the Bible says that sodomites should be put to death.

40:39.540 --> 40:41.180
Sounds like you know what it means.

40:41.800 --> 40:45.800
It just sounds like you're not willing to say something.

40:45.800 --> 40:50.680
Sounds like you're not willing to be the one that actually has the stones and say something

40:50.680 --> 40:53.800
about the wicked, pedophile faggots in our country.

40:53.800 --> 40:54.800
Right?

40:54.800 --> 40:55.800
And you know what we need today?

40:55.800 --> 40:58.200
We need some people that are willing to say something.

40:58.200 --> 41:03.120
We need people today that are willing to offend if it means defending the truth.

41:03.300 --> 41:06.800
We need people today that are willing to be in the news,

41:06.800 --> 41:08.540
that are willing to go viral,

41:08.540 --> 41:11.400
that are willing to lose friends or family members

41:11.400 --> 41:14.040
or whoever for Jesus Christ.

41:14.040 --> 41:15.780
We need that today.

41:15.780 --> 41:16.920
Go to Exodus 20.

41:17.840 --> 41:19.080
2 Timothy 4.2 says,

41:19.080 --> 41:23.020
preach the word, be instant in season, out of season.

41:23.500 --> 41:29.740
Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.

41:29.740 --> 41:34.220
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own

41:34.220 --> 41:37.880
lust shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears.

41:37.880 --> 41:43.520
The Bible commands the man of God to preach the truth whether it's popular or not.

41:43.520 --> 41:44.520
And you know what?

41:44.520 --> 41:45.820
Seasons come, seasons go.

41:46.200 --> 41:51.400
It's weird, even just like my short time in life preaching, there's things that were okay

41:51.400 --> 41:55.160
to preach about a few years ago that no longer are and vice versa.

41:55.160 --> 41:57.560
And it's just kind of interesting.

41:57.560 --> 42:01.960
We live in a day preaching against the Jews, no one's even going to bristle at that.

42:01.960 --> 42:04.440
Everyone agrees that they're the synagogue of Satan.

42:04.440 --> 42:09.200
Everyone knows that Jews are wicked, Satan-worshipping, anti-Christ devils.

42:09.200 --> 42:10.200
We know that.

42:10.200 --> 42:13.740
But now we've almost gotten to the point where you preach against Islam and conservatives

42:13.740 --> 42:14.200
Let's get upset.

42:14.200 --> 42:18.680
online. It's like I preach against Muslims and I get flooded with messages

42:18.680 --> 42:23.100
and comments calling me a Zionist. I mean, welcome to the Twilight Zone.

42:23.200 --> 42:28.840
Pastor Oz is a Zionist online. This is how this is how crazy online is by the way the conspiracy world

42:28.840 --> 42:34.760
It's like pastor Anderson is a Zionist and pastor Oz is a Zionist. It's like bro. You're a little too awake

42:34.760 --> 42:35.400
All right

42:35.400 --> 42:41.960
You know you took some melatonin from Walmart or something and you just need to get another sleep cycle because there's something wrong with you

42:41.960 --> 42:42.600
Okay

42:42.800 --> 42:44.440
Crazy, what's happening today.

42:44.440 --> 42:46.940
But look, we need to say something today.

42:46.940 --> 42:52.240
We need to not avoid controversial topics, whether it's in season or out of season.

42:52.240 --> 42:56.180
Okay, so in this story that we read, what's the thing being dealt with?

42:56.180 --> 42:57.180
Adultery.

42:57.180 --> 43:00.220
You know, we need to say something about adultery today.

43:00.220 --> 43:03.380
And adultery is not an affair, it's adultery.

43:03.380 --> 43:05.100
That's the word that the Bible uses.

43:05.100 --> 43:06.800
Look at Exodus 20 verse 14.

43:06.800 --> 43:09.800
Thou shalt not commit adultery.

43:09.800 --> 43:10.800
Pretty simple, right?

43:10.800 --> 43:15.300
But a lot of people today, believe it or not, a lot of people in America

43:15.300 --> 43:19.300
defend adultery if they fell out of love with their spouse.

43:19.300 --> 43:23.800
They defend adultery if, well, my husband was abusive.

43:23.800 --> 43:25.800
Well, my wife spent too much money.

43:25.800 --> 43:28.300
How about someone just say something that adultery is always wrong?

43:28.300 --> 43:29.300
Period. End of story.

43:29.300 --> 43:31.800
Thou shalt not commit adultery is what the Bible says.

43:31.800 --> 43:33.800
Go to Leviticus chapter number 20.

43:34.600 --> 43:41.480
Leviticus chapter number 20 and look people who commit adultery they always have an excuse right I

43:41.760 --> 43:47.840
Mean very few people are just gonna say like hi. I commit adultery because I'm a wicked individual. I'm selfish

43:47.840 --> 43:50.880
I don't care what the Bible says they're always gonna give you some sort of

43:51.120 --> 43:58.080
Justifying excuse into their mind as to why they're doing it, but you know what someone needs to say something that there's no excuse

43:58.900 --> 44:04.740
And you know what? I'm sorry if your marriage sucks, but you know what? You take up that cross of your sucky marriage

44:04.740 --> 44:07.820
till the day you die and don't commit adultery.

44:07.820 --> 44:11.820
Do not cheat on your spouse regardless of whatever situation you're in.

44:11.820 --> 44:13.620
Leviticus 20 verse 10.

44:13.620 --> 44:16.900
And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife?

44:17.100 --> 44:20.600
Even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife,

44:20.600 --> 44:25.180
the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death."

44:25.180 --> 44:27.440
See, this is what is right.

44:27.440 --> 44:29.440
This is God's law.

44:29.440 --> 44:31.980
This is the right standard in this universe.

44:31.980 --> 44:35.620
And so it doesn't matter even if a great person overall,

44:35.620 --> 44:37.360
King David is doing this,

44:37.360 --> 44:39.560
this man was right in saying,

44:39.560 --> 44:43.060
hey, is not this the wife of Uriah?

44:43.400 --> 44:49.400
Because this scripture says, hey, David, if you do this, you are guilty of a capital crime.

44:49.400 --> 44:57.000
And you know what? It is not loving to not correct someone going down a path that's going to lead them to destruction.

44:57.000 --> 45:01.900
That's going to lead their marriage to destruction. That's going to lead this other person to destruction.

45:01.900 --> 45:06.900
And you know what? Someone needs to say something that we should recriminalize adultery in America.

45:07.500 --> 45:11.700
It's funny how many fake Christians we have that tell you they believe the Bible, and

45:11.700 --> 45:13.900
then we're like, yeah, yeah, we're actually fundamentalists.

45:13.900 --> 45:15.860
Yeah, we actually believe what the Bible says.

45:15.860 --> 45:20.500
Yeah, adultery should be punished by death in America, and they're just like, oh, that's

45:20.500 --> 45:21.500
crazy.

45:21.500 --> 45:22.500
What are you talking about?

45:22.500 --> 45:23.860
I thought we believed the Bible.

45:23.860 --> 45:25.580
I thought this is God's Word.

45:25.580 --> 45:28.740
I thought this is pure, that this is holy, that this is right.

45:28.740 --> 45:30.660
We should have the death penalty on this today.

45:31.300 --> 45:36.100
And you know what? It makes America look like a complete joke of a nation

45:36.100 --> 45:40.000
that you can just commit rampant adultery on your husband

45:40.000 --> 45:43.700
you can just commit rampant adultery on your wife

45:43.700 --> 45:46.700
and you will receive no punishment legally.

45:46.700 --> 45:48.700
That is a shame.

45:49.000 --> 45:53.800
Righteousness exalted the nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.

45:53.800 --> 45:58.400
You know what? I love America, but it is a reproach to the name of our country

45:58.400 --> 46:01.900
that we do not have any penalty on adultery in our nation.

46:01.900 --> 46:08.200
Adultery is disgusting and wicked and vile and evil, and it should be punished by death.

46:08.500 --> 46:14.580
And you know what? There would be so many people in this world who have jacked up situations

46:14.580 --> 46:19.060
where their life would be better if the death penalty was on the table for adultery.

46:19.060 --> 46:22.880
Because what sucks is that, hey, you know what? It's true. The Bible does teach that

46:22.880 --> 46:29.560
you must stay with your spouse no matter what, and adultery is not an excuse for divorce.

46:29.560 --> 46:32.620
But if we were under God's perfect system, you know what would happen? That person would

46:32.620 --> 46:34.920
be put to death, and then you would be able to be remarried.

46:35.400 --> 46:39.400
Right? It's so funny. People get mad at preachers for preaching the truth on that.

46:39.400 --> 46:44.200
Why don't you get mad at the criminal justice system that decided that they're smarter than God?

46:44.200 --> 46:48.200
And you know, maybe if we had more people saying something on this issue,

46:48.200 --> 46:51.240
there wouldn't be as many families suffering through that hell.

46:52.120 --> 46:55.400
We need to say something today about it. Now I want to read some statistics.

46:57.400 --> 47:03.640
I saw a bunch of statistics that varied slightly by source, but one article I found in 2026

47:03.640 --> 47:09.800
showed that 20% of married men will just admit to cheating on their wife.

47:10.680 --> 47:14.200
20%. One in five married men in America

47:14.400 --> 47:16.400
And these are just people who will admit it.

47:16.400 --> 47:18.400
I mean, this is a shameful topic.

47:18.400 --> 47:21.400
I'm sure a lot of people are going to lie and not admit this.

47:21.400 --> 47:26.400
But one in five men in America will just admit to having cheated on their spouse.

47:26.400 --> 47:28.400
That is shameful.

47:28.400 --> 47:29.400
That is embarrassing.

47:29.400 --> 47:31.400
That is disgusting for our nation.

47:31.400 --> 47:32.400
Okay?

47:32.400 --> 47:37.400
13% of married women will just openly admit that they have cheated on their husband.

47:38.800 --> 47:45.800
Women infidelity rates have increased by 40% in the last 20 years.

47:46.300 --> 47:50.380
40% of an increase in infidelity from the women side of the equation.

47:50.380 --> 47:53.340
And it's probably because feminism has just grown.

47:53.340 --> 47:56.980
And now there's so much more of a safety net for women to not stay married, right?

47:56.980 --> 47:58.900
The government will take care of you.

47:58.900 --> 48:01.380
No fault divorce will just be granted to you.

48:01.380 --> 48:03.140
The assets will be split up.

48:03.140 --> 48:04.500
The kids will go to you.

48:04.500 --> 48:09.080
So really, there's not as much of a fear of, hey, I need to be good in my marriage.

48:09.080 --> 48:10.900
I need to keep this marriage together.

48:10.900 --> 48:12.680
I need to keep my man happy.

48:12.680 --> 48:14.300
Now you can just kind of do whatever you want.

48:14.300 --> 48:16.700
and not face as many earthly consequences,

48:16.700 --> 48:18.860
but that does not mean that God is still not watching

48:18.860 --> 48:20.300
and that God is still not judging.

48:20.300 --> 48:21.100
He absolutely is.

48:22.300 --> 48:26.540
Among adults ages 18 to 29, so this is Gen Z,

48:26.540 --> 48:30.780
women are actually slightly more likely to cheat than men.

48:31.300 --> 48:34.500
That's crazy. So you see what feminism has done to our society?

48:34.500 --> 48:38.180
Obviously it's bad when anyone cheats. Let's just be honest, obviously.

48:38.180 --> 48:43.540
But it's kind of crazy that in our world, which let's just be honest, men are way more driven in

48:43.540 --> 48:48.820
this area, naturally speaking. How did we get to the point where now most of the people doing

48:48.820 --> 48:51.140
the cheating are women that are young people?

48:51.300 --> 48:53.800
That is absolutely crazy.

48:53.800 --> 48:54.800
But you know what?

48:54.800 --> 48:58.600
Someone just needs to say something that is disgusting and wicked and shameful.

48:58.600 --> 49:03.600
And we need to stop having girlfriends that support their girlfriends and leaving their husband.

49:03.600 --> 49:05.600
You go girl, you find someone better.

49:05.600 --> 49:08.100
No, be the friend that says something!

49:08.100 --> 49:09.900
And say, hey, don't be a whore!

49:09.900 --> 49:12.100
Don't be a slut and cheat on your husband!

49:12.100 --> 49:14.100
Stay faithful to your husband!

49:14.100 --> 49:17.100
And you know what, with your bros, guys, don't be like,

49:17.100 --> 49:19.400
yeah, you know, go get you a hottie or whatever.

49:19.400 --> 49:21.700
No, how about be faithful to your wife?

49:21.700 --> 49:23.700
And you know, I've done this on the job site.

49:23.700 --> 49:26.500
I've literally just corrected people that I barely know,

49:26.500 --> 49:28.400
I barely work with, because you know what,

49:28.400 --> 49:30.500
someone just needs to say something today.

49:30.500 --> 49:32.900
And I've worked with guys on the job site where they're like,

49:32.900 --> 49:35.100
hey, look, check that girl out right there.

49:35.100 --> 49:36.400
You know, what would you rate her?

49:36.400 --> 49:38.400
And I'm just like, bro, aren't you married?

49:38.800 --> 49:45.000
Aren't you married? Like, I get that every guy is gonna struggle with his eyes and that's gonna be a lifelong battle,

49:45.000 --> 49:50.340
but can you not just openly bring attention to women walking around? You shameless dog.

49:50.800 --> 49:56.760
We need to bring back some shame from sin, and you know how that's done? By someone saying something.

49:57.120 --> 50:03.680
By us as Christians not just keeping our mouth shut and just letting our culture in our country go to hell,

50:03.880 --> 50:05.880
but actually say that adultery is wicked.

50:06.600 --> 50:07.880
Go to Galatians chapter 5.

50:07.880 --> 50:09.320
Galatians chapter number 5.

50:09.320 --> 50:11.000
You know what we need to say today?

50:11.000 --> 50:13.320
That fornication is wicked.

50:14.440 --> 50:16.200
Oh, but you don't understand.

50:16.200 --> 50:17.240
We love each other.

50:17.240 --> 50:19.320
No, it's called being a whore.

50:19.700 --> 50:22.100
It's called being a whoremonger.

50:22.100 --> 50:24.980
It is uncleanness, according to the word of God.

50:24.980 --> 50:25.980
And you know what?

50:25.980 --> 50:26.980
Fornication is not cool.

50:26.980 --> 50:31.500
And you as a guy bragging about how many girls you've been with is not cool.

50:31.500 --> 50:36.140
It just shows that you don't have self-control, that you're a weak man, and you're a dirty

50:36.140 --> 50:39.180
man, and you're a sinful, wicked person.

50:39.180 --> 50:44.020
And women today will brag about how much money they make on OnlyFans.

50:44.020 --> 50:45.020
You know what you are?

50:45.020 --> 50:47.300
You're a dirty slut is what you are.

50:47.300 --> 50:47.700
Maybe we.

50:47.700 --> 50:50.900
We should bring back some slut shaming in America.

50:50.900 --> 50:52.480
Let's bring back some shame.

50:52.480 --> 50:56.000
Look what the Bible says in Galatians 5 19.

50:56.000 --> 51:01.160
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these adultery, fornication.

51:01.160 --> 51:03.320
Notice this word uncleanness.

51:03.320 --> 51:04.320
Go to Ephesians 5.

51:04.320 --> 51:05.320
Ephesians 5.

51:05.320 --> 51:10.620
I want to show you that there's the connection in the Bible between fornication, adultery

51:10.620 --> 51:12.900
and uncleanness.

51:13.000 --> 51:20.080
Ephesians 5 verse 3, but fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be

51:20.080 --> 51:22.520
once named among you as becometh saints.

51:22.520 --> 51:24.040
Go to Colossians 3.

51:24.040 --> 51:26.120
Colossians chapter number 3.

51:28.000 --> 51:35.060
Colossians chapter number three look at verse 5 mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth fornication there it is again

51:36.360 --> 51:37.680
uncleanness

51:37.680 --> 51:41.880
inordinate affection evil concupiscence and covetousness which is

51:42.500 --> 51:47.320
Idolatry someone needs to say something that fornication is unclean

51:48.200 --> 51:55.880
It is gross. It is disgusting. It is not just some harmless activity between consenting adults.

51:55.880 --> 51:59.240
Let me tell you something. You are harming your body by committing fornication,

51:59.880 --> 52:05.080
right? Hey, every sin is without the body, but he that committed fornication sinned against his

52:05.080 --> 52:11.720
own body. Okay. And it's, and it's something that in our culture, unfortunately has become normalized.

52:12.600 --> 52:17.400
A lot of parents are just totally cool with their kids living with their girlfriend.

52:18.200 --> 52:22.280
Living with their boyfriend and it's just totally fine. Let me tell you what,

52:22.280 --> 52:27.880
you are setting up your child for a lifetime of pain. Because fornication is not love,

52:27.880 --> 52:30.000
fornication destroys love.

52:30.400 --> 52:34.880
Because how often is it where a young girl and a young guy

52:34.880 --> 52:37.080
shack up and they end up marrying each other

52:37.080 --> 52:39.880
and end up being the only person they've ever been with in their life?

52:39.880 --> 52:41.480
That's very few.

52:41.480 --> 52:44.520
A lot of... I mean, right now there's like a crisis in America

52:44.520 --> 52:46.080
of young people getting married.

52:46.300 --> 52:51.820
And one of the complaints that young men often have is about how all these girls that they're going to college with

52:51.820 --> 52:56.100
have a body count of 10, 20, 30, and in OnlyFans.

52:56.100 --> 52:58.300
And guess what? That's disgusting!

52:58.300 --> 52:59.800
That's gross!

52:59.800 --> 53:06.800
No one wants to be with a dirty whore, yet many young women today are filthy whores is what they are.

53:07.200 --> 53:08.800
And you know that is a shame.

53:08.800 --> 53:10.800
And someone needs to say something today

53:10.800 --> 53:15.600
that we need to stop allowing our daughters to be whores.

53:15.600 --> 53:17.680
Someone needs to say something today

53:17.680 --> 53:21.720
that the Jewish weapon formed against Christianity

53:21.720 --> 53:25.120
called pornography is filthy.

53:25.120 --> 53:26.520
It's disgusting.

53:26.520 --> 53:28.400
It should be completely illegal.

53:28.900 --> 53:34.580
I mean, this is such a weapon because again, especially young men really wired in this area,

53:34.580 --> 53:39.620
young men who they should be channeling that energy into working hard so they could provide

53:39.620 --> 53:44.020
for a wife and go out and win a girl and get married and work hard so they could have this

53:44.020 --> 53:48.740
relationship are just expelling all of this part of their life into pornography.

53:49.380 --> 53:53.220
And you know what? It's part of the reason I believe why many people are delaying marriage so much.

53:53.900 --> 53:58.560
Because you know if they didn't have this outlet they probably would be you know forced to seek after a wife

53:58.640 --> 54:03.760
But many men are just living their lives through pornography and you know what that is filthy

54:04.160 --> 54:11.500
That is disgusting that is unclean and you know what a lot of this stuff is human trafficking a lot of this stuff is litter

54:11.500 --> 54:15.020
I mean, let's just be honest pornography is a weapon of the Jews is what it is

54:15.400 --> 54:19.540
Why is it you know who is the control of the pornography industry the Jews are?

54:20.000 --> 54:23.600
If you didn't have any other reason to hate pornography, that's a big one right there.

54:24.400 --> 54:29.760
Okay, go if you would to Leviticus 19. Leviticus 19.

54:31.120 --> 54:35.520
And where does this start? You know what? It starts with men. It starts with husbands

54:35.520 --> 54:37.520
allowing their daughters to dress like whores.

54:38.400 --> 54:44.400
Proverbs 7 10 says, and behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot.

54:45.200 --> 54:50.640
and subtle of heart. According to the Bible, there is such a thing as dressing like a prostitute,

54:51.200 --> 54:56.160
dressing like a harlot. And you know what? Many men today are letting their wives,

54:56.160 --> 55:01.920
are letting their daughters, dress in more provocative ways than literal prostitutes

55:01.920 --> 55:04.880
dressed in the 1800s and early 1900s.

55:05.300 --> 55:07.980
It's like, I've unfortunately seen some of these pictures where it's like,

55:07.980 --> 55:11.180
hey, this is a prostitute from 1860 or whatever,

55:11.180 --> 55:14.900
and it's like, she's way more covered than if you go to Target today.

55:14.900 --> 55:16.820
Than if you go just out in public.

55:16.820 --> 55:20.140
I mean, men today have literally allowed their daughters to walk around

55:20.140 --> 55:21.820
looking like whores.

55:21.820 --> 55:23.420
Someone needs to say something,

55:23.420 --> 55:26.020
stop letting your daughter dress like a whore.

55:26.020 --> 55:27.420
Rule your house.

55:27.420 --> 55:29.740
Control your daughters in your life

55:29.740 --> 55:32.380
and do not allow them to dress like a whore.

55:32.800 --> 55:36.000
Look at Leviticus 19 verse 29.

55:36.000 --> 55:38.600
I can't even believe this is in the Bible, okay?

55:38.600 --> 55:43.700
Do not prostitute thy daughter to cause her to be a whore,

55:43.700 --> 55:47.000
lest the land fall to whoredom and the land become full of wickedness.

55:47.000 --> 55:49.300
And you're like, who would do such a thing?

55:49.300 --> 55:52.100
Why is this command even in the Bible telling a man,

55:52.100 --> 55:53.600
don't prostitute your daughter?

55:53.600 --> 55:56.300
I mean, folks, don't just read over this.

55:56.300 --> 55:57.600
Realize what this is.

55:57.700 --> 56:04.400
A man literally just selling his daughter's body for this wicked unclean act the Bible says don't do this

56:04.400 --> 56:09.040
You're gonna cause her to be a whore you're gonna cause the whole land to fall to whoredom

56:09.040 --> 56:12.400
And I'm thinking like oh surely we don't have this literally in society today

56:12.460 --> 56:14.920
But I saw someone post the other day on X

56:15.220 --> 56:21.520
Where this girl is talking about her career and only fans and her dad is right with her and she's like dad

56:21.520 --> 56:25.700
What do you think about all this and he's like honey? I just support you in a

56:25.700 --> 56:29.300
anything you do and honey as long as you're happy and if this is a career

56:29.300 --> 56:32.460
choice that you're fulfilled with and you know what you're taking care of

56:32.460 --> 56:37.900
yourself dad is for you dad and I'm just like oh I get why this is in the Bible

56:37.900 --> 56:41.700
don't allow your daughter to be on OnlyFans are you kidding me

56:41.900 --> 56:45.820
I mean this man knows that his daughter's doing this and he's not shutting it down.

56:45.820 --> 56:49.180
I mean here's what a real man would do if they found out this is happening.

56:49.180 --> 56:55.100
You would go in with a sledgehammer and break every computer and you would just destroy every device

56:55.100 --> 56:59.500
and you would just rain hell on your family for this wickedness being in your home.

56:59.500 --> 57:02.780
That's what I would do. That's what a normal person would do.

57:02.780 --> 57:08.620
Okay, can you at least sit here and verbally berate and rebuke your daughter for doing this?

57:08.620 --> 57:09.900
No, you sit here and engage-

57:09.900 --> 57:11.900
and helping her doing this.

57:11.900 --> 57:14.900
I mean, you can see how the land is falling to whoredom.

57:14.900 --> 57:15.900
I mean, America's falling to whoredom.

57:15.900 --> 57:16.900
Young men are falling to whoredom.

57:16.900 --> 57:18.900
Everyone's on this stuff.

57:18.900 --> 57:19.900
These girls are making tons of money.

57:19.900 --> 57:20.900
Why?

57:20.900 --> 57:23.900
Partly because dads are literally prostituting their daughters out.

57:23.900 --> 57:24.900
And you know what?

57:24.900 --> 57:27.900
If I didn't know about it, I'd have a hard time believing it

57:27.900 --> 57:28.900
because it's just such a crazy thought.

57:28.900 --> 57:30.900
Then again, you look at Lot.

57:31.400 --> 57:34.520
and lots being surrounded by sodomites and literally just says,

57:34.520 --> 57:37.800
here's my virgin daughters, you do whatever you want with them,

57:37.800 --> 57:40.360
take them, just don't do such a wicked thing to us.

57:40.360 --> 57:42.840
And you know, that's, we have a lot of lot parents today.

57:43.400 --> 57:47.560
Oh, just go ahead, you know, young man, you can just move in with my daughter, no problem.

57:47.560 --> 57:51.640
Oh, honey, you can just go off to college and do whatever you want, and you wear whatever you want.

57:51.640 --> 57:55.560
You make money on whatever websites you want. Dad will always support you no matter what.

57:55.560 --> 57:59.400
You know what? We as dads, we want to be our kids' friends, but we need to be dad first.

58:00.200 --> 58:04.920
And I hope to God that I'm friends with all of my daughters, but it'll be over my dead

58:04.920 --> 58:09.800
body that I would allow that in my house. And that's what every man should have as their mentality.

58:10.300 --> 58:12.300
Go to Deuteronomy chapter number 22.

58:12.300 --> 58:22.300
Someone needs to say something today about the fact that most women in our society are walking around being cross dressers.

58:22.300 --> 58:29.100
Someone needs to say something today that it doesn't matter what America is doing, what matters is what the Bible says.

58:29.100 --> 58:33.340
You know, it's funny, but while you're turning there, I saw Pastor Anderson, he posted like

58:33.340 --> 58:39.340
a leaked clip or whatever of this Man of God episode 2 that Paul Wittenberger is making.

58:39.340 --> 58:45.020
And it's like this AI slop voiceover. It shows a man and a woman at the wedding altar.

58:45.580 --> 58:53.740
And it's over saying with his voice, it says, quote, she is told she can't leave, but we live in America.

58:54.200 --> 58:57.800
It's like, is this the standard for what's right or wrong now?

58:57.800 --> 59:01.400
It's like, well yeah, you know, she's told you can't get divorced,

59:01.400 --> 59:06.600
you can't leave your husband, the Bible says she's bound by the law to her husband

59:06.600 --> 59:10.520
as long as she liveth, and if she marries another she's called an adulteress.

59:10.520 --> 59:15.000
I know that's what the Bible says, but I mean, hey, we live in America, baby.

59:15.000 --> 59:21.000
What are you talking about? Okay, all right, Lindsey Clancy, she's told, thou shalt not kill.

59:21.700 --> 59:27.920
But we live in America. It's okay, right? And it's like okay. What does the Bible say about cross-dressing?

59:28.760 --> 59:33.520
Deuteronomy 22 5 the woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man

59:34.080 --> 59:41.000
Neither shall a man put on a woman's garment for all that do so our abomination unto the Lord thy God

59:41.000 --> 59:46.960
The Bible says there is a garment that is a woman's garment. There is a garment that is a man's garment

59:47.600 --> 59:51.800
Is it a shirt? Is it a hat? Is it socks? Is it shoes?

59:51.800 --> 59:54.880
Let me help you out with what it is. It's pants and a skirt is what it is.

59:55.040 --> 59:58.840
The woman's garment is a skirt and a dress. The man's garment is

59:59.440 --> 01:00:04.000
pants and the Bible says the woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man.

01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:10.000
Well, the Bible says that but we live in America. I don't care where you live. God's Word is God's Words.

01:00:10.520 --> 01:00:14.880
And you know what? I love America, but America is wrong on this doctrine.

01:00:15.500 --> 01:00:20.620
And women today in America are walking around as literal cross dressers according to the word of God

01:00:20.620 --> 01:00:24.060
and that is an abomination and someone needs to say something.

01:00:24.780 --> 01:00:27.980
You know why we need to say something? Because this used to be what people believed.

01:00:28.780 --> 01:00:31.900
And you know what the problem is people have stopped saying something because they don't want

01:00:31.900 --> 01:00:37.740
to offend the old boomer women in their congregation wearing pants. But let me tell you what pastor you

01:00:37.740 --> 01:00:41.660
need to say something. And let me tell you hard preaching actually does work.

01:00:42.100 --> 01:00:45.100
Because one time I was preaching in a nursing home.

01:00:45.100 --> 01:00:47.000
And when I was preaching in a nursing home,

01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:49.040
it was not you get to preach whatever you want.

01:00:49.040 --> 01:00:50.000
I was given a topic.

01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:52.900
I had to preach the topic that the pastor told me to preach.

01:00:52.900 --> 01:00:53.800
And you know what I got?

01:00:53.800 --> 01:00:55.300
I got cross dressing.

01:00:55.900 --> 01:00:59.200
I got women wearing pants and guess what the audience is?

01:00:59.200 --> 01:01:06.360
It's basically 99% old women and I preached to these old women who are wearing pants and I ripped face on

01:01:06.460 --> 01:01:12.120
Deuteronomy 22 5 and these old boomers came to the next service wearing skirts and dresses

01:01:13.060 --> 01:01:18.040
It's amazing what happens when you actually preach the Bible people with the Holy Spirit of God say oh, yeah

01:01:18.040 --> 01:01:20.120
That's what the Bible says some people just don't know

01:01:20.900 --> 01:01:28.700
Some people were born in America and the culture is women wear pants and they've never known anything different and they didn't know Deuteronomy 22, 5 is in the Bible.

01:01:28.700 --> 01:01:32.700
And guess what? If someone just says something, maybe people will change.

01:01:32.700 --> 01:01:38.500
Passers need to stop being so afraid. Hey, let the chips fall where they may. Just say something.

01:01:38.500 --> 01:01:41.800
Go to 1 John chapter number 2. 1 John chapter number 2.

01:01:42.700 --> 01:01:46.100
Of course, a fan favorite for our church is Leviticus 20 13.

01:01:46.100 --> 01:01:47.100
We love this verse.

01:01:47.100 --> 01:01:51.220
If a man also lie with mankind as he lied with a woman, both of them have committed

01:01:51.220 --> 01:01:52.220
an abomination.

01:01:52.220 --> 01:01:54.240
They shall surely be put to death.

01:01:54.240 --> 01:01:55.780
Their blood shall be upon them.

01:01:55.780 --> 01:01:59.460
Now, I know this is popular here, but that's only because we've been saying something for

01:01:59.460 --> 01:02:01.140
years that guess what?

01:02:01.140 --> 01:02:03.420
Sodomy is an abomination and is worthy of death.

01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:09.360
I wish that people would say that today. I wish that we would stop being afraid of literal,

01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:15.440
God-hating, pedophile terrorists in our nation, and we would just loudly and boldly proclaim

01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:18.240
that sodomites should be executed.

01:02:18.600 --> 01:02:23.060
That is just the open go-ahead. It's literally on our doctrinal statement

01:02:23.060 --> 01:02:27.300
We believe sodomites should be put to death because that's what the Bible says and you know what?

01:02:27.300 --> 01:02:31.680
Thankfully a lot of people are starting to wake up on how evil and disgusting the LGBT is

01:02:32.160 --> 01:02:36.360
That being gay is not an alternative lifestyle. It's not a happy lifestyle

01:02:36.360 --> 01:02:41.040
It's a disgusting unclean death cult and it's a bunch of people that hate God

01:02:41.700 --> 01:02:43.700
Okay, what do we need to say today?

01:02:43.700 --> 01:02:45.400
1 John 2 verse 22,

01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:49.200
Who is a liar but he that denyeth that Jesus is the Christ?

01:02:49.200 --> 01:02:52.500
He is anti-Christ that denyeth the Father and the Son.

01:02:52.500 --> 01:02:56.700
Hey, the old IFB needs to say today that the Jews are anti-Christ.

01:02:56.900 --> 01:03:01.220
that they are not God's chosen people. They are not special. In fact, what they are is they're

01:03:01.220 --> 01:03:08.260
liars. They are anti-Christ. They reject Jesus as the Christ. Verse 23, whosoever denyeth the Son,

01:03:08.260 --> 01:03:14.260
the same hath not the Father. He that acknowledgeeth the Son hath the Father also. Also,

01:03:14.260 --> 01:03:16.740
you know what? The Jews don't have the same God as we do.

01:03:17.300 --> 01:03:20.980
Oh, Jews, we have the same, you know, Old Testament God.

01:03:20.980 --> 01:03:23.500
No, if you reject the son, you don't have the father.

01:03:23.500 --> 01:03:27.460
And someone needs to shake the old IFB today and say something, saying, hey, stop promoting

01:03:27.460 --> 01:03:29.360
the synagogue of Satan.

01:03:29.360 --> 01:03:31.820
Stop promoting the anti-Christ Jews.

01:03:31.820 --> 01:03:33.840
They hate Jesus Christ.

01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:34.840
They are wicked.

01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:36.940
Go to 2 Samuel chapter number 13.

01:03:36.940 --> 01:03:40.300
So I said, number one, have the courage to stand for biblical truth.

01:03:40.600 --> 01:03:48.100
Even if you're in the minority that was certainly this man with King David says and one said right number two say something

01:03:48.100 --> 01:03:52.000
At the right time you know what else I like about this unnamed man

01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:56.420
He didn't wait until after David had sinned to say like yeah, David. That was stupid

01:03:56.880 --> 01:04:02.300
Yeah, David that was super wrong that you shouldn't have done that David. You know he said something at the right time

01:04:02.900 --> 01:04:07.460
He said something when David could have still corrected course and not have gone down this road.

01:04:07.460 --> 01:04:12.260
And you know what the most loving time to correct someone is before they ruin their life.

01:04:12.260 --> 01:04:16.980
As soon as you see them going down the wrong path, issue the correction, help that person,

01:04:16.980 --> 01:04:22.020
say something at the right time. Second Samuel 13, look at verse number one.

01:04:22.020 --> 01:04:28.580
And it came to pass after this that Absalom, the son of David, had a fair sister, whose

01:04:28.580 --> 01:04:29.500
name was Tamar.

01:04:29.900 --> 01:04:38.540
and Amnon the son of David loved her. And Amnon was so vexed that he fell sick for his sister Tamar,

01:04:39.100 --> 01:04:46.140
for she was a virgin, and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her. So Amnon

01:04:46.140 --> 01:04:50.700
is like having these weird lustful thoughts towards his sister.

01:04:51.300 --> 01:04:57.700
Wicked, sick, weird situation, but he still obviously is having some sort of internal struggle

01:04:57.700 --> 01:05:03.300
going on about this situation because the Bible says that he thought it hard to do something to her.

01:05:03.300 --> 01:05:08.500
So he's feeling these wicked lustful feelings, but he's also recognizing that this isn't right.

01:05:08.500 --> 01:05:12.100
He's kind of struggling within himself. Notice verse 3,

01:05:12.100 --> 01:05:18.100
but Amnon had a friend, and you're going to see this is a bad friend, whose name was John of death.

01:05:18.500 --> 01:05:24.820
the son of Shimeah, David's brother, and Johnadab was a very subtle man. And he said unto him,

01:05:24.820 --> 01:05:29.460
Why art thou being the king's son, lean from day to day? Wilt thou not tell me?

01:05:29.460 --> 01:05:34.820
And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

01:05:35.200 --> 01:05:38.000
Now, if this was a good friend, you know what he would have done?

01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:40.000
He would have said something at this time.

01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:43.160
He'd say, hey man, there's lots of fish in the sea.

01:05:43.160 --> 01:05:45.240
Okay, this isn't Arkansas.

01:05:45.240 --> 01:05:46.240
This isn't Alabama.

01:05:46.240 --> 01:05:48.680
Okay, let's not love your sister.

01:05:48.680 --> 01:05:49.900
Find someone else.

01:05:49.900 --> 01:05:51.300
Go after someone else.

01:05:51.300 --> 01:05:53.680
That's the correction that a normal person would give at this time.

01:05:53.680 --> 01:05:55.240
But here's what the bad friend did.

01:05:55.800 --> 01:06:01.800
He comes up with a plan. He says, and John Adab said unto him, lay thee down on thy bed and make thyself sick.

01:06:01.800 --> 01:06:08.600
So pretend like you're sick. And when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come,

01:06:08.600 --> 01:06:13.400
and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it and eat it at her hand.

01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:19.400
So what does his friend do? I mean, he's, Amnon's having this struggle over this wicked desire,

01:06:19.400 --> 01:06:23.800
and he has turmoil within himself, and his friend, John Adab...

01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:25.360
says, hey, let me help you buddy.

01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:28.560
Let's concoct this plan to get you and her alone together

01:06:28.560 --> 01:06:29.480
in the same room.

01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:31.200
This is a terrible friend.

01:06:31.200 --> 01:06:31.700
Right?

01:06:31.700 --> 01:06:34.160
He's doing the exact opposite of what he should be doing,

01:06:34.160 --> 01:06:36.320
which is lovingly rebuking this man,

01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:37.800
saying what you're doing is wrong.

01:06:37.800 --> 01:06:39.320
Don't go down this road.

01:06:39.320 --> 01:06:40.640
This is gross.

01:06:40.640 --> 01:06:41.800
Now he helps him.

01:06:42.100 --> 01:06:44.340
So Amnon lay down and made himself sick.

01:06:44.340 --> 01:06:49.300
And when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar, my sister,

01:06:49.300 --> 01:06:54.340
come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight that I may eat at her hand.

01:06:54.340 --> 01:06:58.740
And of course she ends up coming in just the innocency of her mind.

01:06:58.740 --> 01:07:01.540
She's just helping him. She's just serving him.

01:07:01.540 --> 01:07:04.820
And you know what he ends up doing? He ends up forcing himself upon her.

01:07:04.820 --> 01:07:10.100
And then after forcing himself upon her, he just sends her out of his house, just comp-

01:07:10.100 --> 01:07:16.540
Completely humiliated and rejected and she goes away and she tears her you know coat of many colors

01:07:16.540 --> 01:07:19.460
And she's just crying and she's upset and she's heartbroken

01:07:19.940 --> 01:07:25.020
Which is of course how fornication is in reality it destroys love it doesn't build love

01:07:25.340 --> 01:07:30.020
But notice that I just tell you that story to tell you hey say something at the right time

01:07:30.700 --> 01:07:33.900
If you've got someone in your life that you love and you care about,

01:07:33.900 --> 01:07:38.300
and they're struggling with sin and they're starting to go down the wrong path in life,

01:07:38.300 --> 01:07:40.780
you need to say something. Right?

01:07:40.780 --> 01:07:44.860
You don't wait until someone is just a raging alcoholic

01:07:44.860 --> 01:07:49.660
who's getting in drunk driving accidents and getting DUIs and beating their family

01:07:49.660 --> 01:07:52.940
and abusing their family to tell them, hey, drinking is bad.

01:07:52.940 --> 01:07:55.660
You tell them, don't drink the first time they try to.

01:07:56.700 --> 01:08:00.900
You tell them that when you're at a restaurant and they order something you're like, what are you doing? That's wicked

01:08:00.900 --> 01:08:05.680
The Bible says no right and you know what that causes shame in our society, right?

01:08:05.680 --> 01:08:09.660
When you're corrected for something wrong, it brings some shame and you know what shame is a good tool

01:08:10.260 --> 01:08:17.320
Shame is a healthy feeling because it should stop us from going down sinful paths when we feel that feeling say oh, that's wrong

01:08:17.320 --> 01:08:19.660
I shouldn't do that. You need to say something

01:08:20.580 --> 01:08:22.300
Go to first Samuel 25

01:08:22.800 --> 01:08:27.920
I'm going to read a few verses for you. Proverbs 27, 6, faithful are the wounds of a friend,

01:08:28.480 --> 01:08:35.040
but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Do not bristle. Do not start to despise

01:08:35.040 --> 01:08:37.900
someone in your life that actually loves you enough to correct you.

01:08:38.500 --> 01:08:42.660
If someone in your life loves you enough to correct you,

01:08:42.660 --> 01:08:46.180
to show you the error of your ways, to even rebuke you at times,

01:08:46.180 --> 01:08:50.900
you should recognize that, hey, this person loves me, this person cares for me,

01:08:50.900 --> 01:08:55.300
but unfortunately what a lot of fools do is they receive that correction from a friend

01:08:55.300 --> 01:09:00.420
and they harden their heart, they get bitter, they get mad when that person actually loved them.

01:09:00.900 --> 01:09:02.900
That person was actually trying to help them.

01:09:02.900 --> 01:09:05.400
It was the Johnadab friend that didn't love them.

01:09:05.400 --> 01:09:07.000
They didn't actually care about him.

01:09:07.000 --> 01:09:09.800
Because the Johnadabs just want to let you ruin your life,

01:09:09.800 --> 01:09:12.500
ruin your ministry, ruin your reputation,

01:09:12.500 --> 01:09:14.500
because they don't care about you.

01:09:14.500 --> 01:09:15.200
Right?

01:09:15.200 --> 01:09:17.700
And so look, if someone is willing to overcome

01:09:17.700 --> 01:09:21.000
the natural human pressure and the social pressure

01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:22.900
to tell you something you don't want to hear,

01:09:22.900 --> 01:09:24.000
to correct you,

01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:26.200
realize that person probably loves you a lot.

01:09:27.100 --> 01:09:32.620
I'll read another verse for you Leviticus 19 verse 17 thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart

01:09:33.100 --> 01:09:39.760
Thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor and not suffer sin upon him. So hey, it's time to say something

01:09:40.100 --> 01:09:44.180
Sometimes you got to say something and when is the right time to say something as soon as you notice

01:09:44.180 --> 01:09:46.500
Oh someone's going down the wrong path. Someone's gonna hurt themselves

01:09:47.060 --> 01:09:52.020
Someone's starting to drink someone's starting to go alone with their girlfriend. Someone's starting to do these things

01:09:52.340 --> 01:09:54.340
Hey, it could be a time to lovingly

01:09:54.660 --> 01:09:59.620
Rebuke that person and not suffer sin. There's a great story that illustrates this with

01:10:00.420 --> 01:10:02.420
Abigail look at first samuel 25 25

01:10:04.020 --> 01:10:07.560
It says let not my lord, I pray thee this is abigail talking to david

01:10:08.100 --> 01:10:13.940
regard this man of Belial, even Nabal. For as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name,

01:10:13.940 --> 01:10:18.820
and Folly is with him. But I, thine handmaid, saw not the young men of my lord.

01:10:19.000 --> 01:10:20.340
whom thou didst descend.

01:10:20.340 --> 01:10:22.040
We're not preaching this whole chapter tonight,

01:10:22.040 --> 01:10:24.040
but David is angry at Nabal

01:10:24.040 --> 01:10:26.340
for the way his servants treated his servants.

01:10:26.340 --> 01:10:28.640
And he's so hot, he's kind of ready to just kill people.

01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:29.480
Right?

01:10:29.480 --> 01:10:32.020
And Abigail's trying to defuse the situation.

01:10:32.020 --> 01:10:34.260
And she's saying, hey, don't listen to this man of Belial.

01:10:34.260 --> 01:10:35.620
Don't listen to this reprobate.

01:10:35.620 --> 01:10:37.220
Don't let this reprobate get you all hot

01:10:37.220 --> 01:10:38.360
and worked up here.

01:10:38.360 --> 01:10:39.200
Okay?

01:10:39.200 --> 01:10:40.700
Verse 26, now therefore.

01:10:41.100 --> 01:10:44.100
my Lord as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth,

01:10:44.100 --> 01:10:47.440
seeing the Lord hath withhold in me from coming to shed blood,

01:10:47.440 --> 01:10:50.040
and from avenging thyself with thine own hand.

01:10:50.040 --> 01:10:53.940
And now, let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my Lord,

01:10:53.940 --> 01:10:55.240
be as they all."

01:10:55.600 --> 01:10:59.360
And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my Lord,

01:10:59.360 --> 01:11:02.800
let it even be given unto the young men that follow my Lord."

01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:07.120
So notice what Abigail is doing in a very respectful way, in a very kind way.

01:11:07.120 --> 01:11:09.440
She's even bringing gifts if you read the whole chapter.

01:11:09.440 --> 01:11:11.440
Is she is actually correcting King David.

01:11:11.440 --> 01:11:15.520
She's actually like pleading with King David not to go commit murder,

01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:18.880
not to take things into his own hands and to avenge himself.

01:11:18.880 --> 01:11:20.560
Why? Because she likes King David.

01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:22.000
She cares for King David.

01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:23.200
And you know what David is going to do?

01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:27.680
David's going to bring God's hand against him if he commits murder, if he goes and takes

01:11:27.680 --> 01:11:29.200
things into his own hand.

01:11:29.200 --> 01:11:33.720
So by correcting David lovingly, and of course she does so very respectfully, that's the

01:11:33.720 --> 01:11:36.400
loving thing that she's doing to David.

01:11:36.400 --> 01:11:41.200
Notice verse 28, I pray thee forgive the trespass of thine handmaid, for the Lord will certainly

01:11:41.200 --> 01:11:46.280
make my Lord a sure house, because my Lord fighteth the battles of the Lord, and evil

01:11:46.280 --> 01:11:48.080
have not been found in thee all thy days.

01:11:48.500 --> 01:11:53.640
Yet a man is risen to pursue thee and to seek thy soul, but the soul of my Lord shall be

01:11:53.640 --> 01:11:57.160
bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God.

01:11:57.160 --> 01:12:02.720
And the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out as out of the middle of a sling."

01:12:02.720 --> 01:12:05.760
She's saying, King David, I know that God's on your side.

01:12:05.760 --> 01:12:07.640
I know that you're fighting the battles of God.

01:12:07.640 --> 01:12:09.640
Hey, God's got your back.

01:12:09.640 --> 01:12:10.640
Don't go and commit this act.

01:12:10.640 --> 01:12:11.200
Verse 30.

01:12:11.700 --> 01:12:15.140
And it shall come to pass when the Lord shall have done to my Lord, according to all the

01:12:15.140 --> 01:12:19.620
good that he hath spoken concerning me, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel,

01:12:19.620 --> 01:12:23.540
that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offense of heart unto my Lord, either that

01:12:23.540 --> 01:12:28.820
thou hast noticed shed blood causeless, or that my Lord hath avenged himself."

01:12:28.820 --> 01:12:33.480
So she's laying out the sins that he would be committing if he chooses not to listen

01:12:33.480 --> 01:12:35.380
to her loving correction.

01:12:35.380 --> 01:12:36.020
Okay?

01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:41.200
But when the Lord shall have dealt well with my Lord, then remember thine handmaid."

01:12:41.200 --> 01:12:43.280
And David said to Abigail, notice,

01:12:43.280 --> 01:12:45.520
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel.

01:12:45.700 --> 01:12:48.300
which sent thee this day to meet me.

01:12:48.300 --> 01:12:51.640
And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou,

01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:54.780
which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood,

01:12:54.780 --> 01:12:57.580
and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

01:12:57.580 --> 01:13:01.280
For in very deed as the Lord God of Israel liveth,

01:13:01.280 --> 01:13:03.520
which hath kept me back from hurting thee,

01:13:03.520 --> 01:13:05.980
except thou hast hasted and come to meet me,

01:13:05.980 --> 01:13:09.320
surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light

01:13:09.320 --> 01:13:12.060
any that pisseth against the wall.

01:13:12.500 --> 01:13:17.500
As you know, this is a great story that goes to show that, hey, it's worth it to put yourself

01:13:17.500 --> 01:13:22.440
out there and to love someone enough to correct them because you never know, they might just

01:13:22.440 --> 01:13:23.360
take the correction.

01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:29.580
By Abigail being bold enough and brave enough to tell David. Hey, don't do this. God is with you

01:13:29.720 --> 01:13:33.500
Don't worry about this reprobate David actually took her advice

01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:36.880
Blessed her advice and it kept him from shedding blood

01:13:37.360 --> 01:13:41.800
Causelessly or from avenging himself and it allowed God's blessing to stay on his life

01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:46.040
You know if only David would have had the same attitude towards the one that said hey

01:13:46.040 --> 01:13:51.800
It's not this the wife of Uriah is not this someone's daughter. And of course also put yourself in David's shoes

01:13:51.800 --> 01:13:55.800
When someone corrects you, this is the right attitude to have.

01:13:55.800 --> 01:13:59.800
Right? You take the correction, and look, if someone's correcting you from the Word of God,

01:13:59.800 --> 01:14:03.800
right? The Bible's correcting you, you know that their correction is right.

01:14:03.800 --> 01:14:07.800
Other times you may not know, or you may even feel at times someone's correction is wrong,

01:14:07.800 --> 01:14:11.800
but you know what? Even if someone's correcting you and you think they're wrong, you should still appreciate

01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:13.700
that they love you enough to correct you.

01:14:14.000 --> 01:14:16.800
And at the end of the day, make sure always following what the Bible says.

01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:18.880
But oftentimes people correcting us, you know what?

01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:23.520
It's because we do need that correction and we should take that to our heart.

01:14:23.520 --> 01:14:30.320
Right? So the right time to correct someone. Go to 2nd Corinthians 6, 2nd Corinthians chapter number 6.

01:14:31.200 --> 01:14:33.600
Right? There's a time to say something.

01:14:33.600 --> 01:14:37.840
Proverbs 19, 18 says, Chasten thy son while there is hope.

01:14:38.600 --> 01:14:46.080
Let not thy soul spare for his crying look you could you could try to start correcting your child when he's 16 years old

01:14:46.280 --> 01:14:48.360
You could try that God bless you

01:14:48.360 --> 01:14:53.640
I'll pray for you, but you know what the right time to start correcting them is B times like the Bible says

01:14:54.160 --> 01:14:59.640
Early in life and the Bible says that there is a time in your child's life while there is hope

01:15:00.100 --> 01:15:04.300
chasing my son while there is hope because oftentimes it can get to a

01:15:04.300 --> 01:15:05.220
certain age

01:15:05.220 --> 01:15:08.700
where they're stubborn enough where doesn't seem like there's much hope

01:15:08.700 --> 01:15:13.540
and sometimes people will wrongly say oh spanking doesn't work for my kid

01:15:13.540 --> 01:15:16.540
and I wanna ask that person you know when did you start spanking your child

01:15:17.300 --> 01:15:20.340
Did you start spanking your kid at eight years old?

01:15:20.340 --> 01:15:24.900
Did you start spanking them at six years old? Did you start spanking them at 16 years old?

01:15:24.900 --> 01:15:28.660
It's like it's not the spanking doesn't work. It's that you didn't do what the Bible says,

01:15:28.660 --> 01:15:33.060
which is chasing them betimes. I'll read that for you. Prophets 13, 24.

01:15:33.060 --> 01:15:38.980
He that spareth his rod hated the sun, but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

01:15:38.980 --> 01:15:43.940
Meaning early in life. Oh, spanking doesn't work. Okay. Well, have you been withholding the rod?

01:15:44.300 --> 01:15:46.300
That doesn't say not spanking them whatsoever.

01:15:46.300 --> 01:15:47.660
That just says withholding.

01:15:47.660 --> 01:15:49.740
Right? Some people, they just don't spank enough.

01:15:49.740 --> 01:15:52.140
Some people, they're not spanking early enough in life.

01:15:52.140 --> 01:15:55.980
Some people are waiting until they're teenagers to try to actually give them correction.

01:15:55.980 --> 01:15:58.700
And the Bible says, hey, chasing my son while there is hope.

01:15:58.700 --> 01:16:01.580
Right? So there's the right time to do this, which is early in life.

01:16:02.620 --> 01:16:03.820
Second Corinthians 6.

01:16:05.180 --> 01:16:08.700
You know when the right time to preach the gospel is to someone?

01:16:08.700 --> 01:16:09.500
That would be today.

01:16:10.300 --> 01:16:14.860
Today is the right time to give someone that correction because you never know when someone's last day is

01:16:15.900 --> 01:16:21.600
Says in verse two for he saith I have heard thee in a time accepted and in the day of salvation

01:16:21.900 --> 01:16:25.260
Have I suckered thee behold now is the accepted time

01:16:25.740 --> 01:16:29.980
Behold now is the day of salvation. Let me tell you what

01:16:30.540 --> 01:16:33.760
Now is the time to preach the gospel to your loved ones

01:16:34.200 --> 01:16:37.400
Now is the time to preach the gospel to your neighbors,

01:16:37.400 --> 01:16:39.800
to your coworkers, because you don't want to wait

01:16:39.800 --> 01:16:42.700
until they die and wonder, were they saved?

01:16:42.700 --> 01:16:43.600
I don't know.

01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:45.700
There's no coming back from that one, right?

01:16:45.700 --> 01:16:48.600
Sometimes there's a specific time

01:16:48.600 --> 01:16:49.900
that you can correct someone.

01:16:49.900 --> 01:16:53.000
There's a specific time that you can say something.

01:16:53.000 --> 01:16:53.820
And you know what?

01:16:53.820 --> 01:16:56.700
This life is the only time you have to say something

01:16:56.700 --> 01:16:58.900
regarding the gospel of Jesus Christ.

01:16:58.900 --> 01:17:00.900
And it's like, when is it time to say something?

01:17:00.900 --> 01:17:02.200
Saturday morning at 10.

01:17:02.200 --> 01:17:07.500
1 a.m. is the time to say something. Sunday at 2 p.m. is the time to say something because

01:17:07.500 --> 01:17:12.660
you know what people are dying all over the city, state, and world every day and I wonder

01:17:12.660 --> 01:17:17.500
how many people there are out there that are actually saying something to them. Go to Deuteronomy

01:17:17.500 --> 01:17:22.480
21. That brings me to my last point. I said number one have the courage to stand for biblical

01:17:22.480 --> 01:17:28.200
truth even if you are in the minority. Number two I said say something at the right time.

01:17:28.600 --> 01:17:32.100
Number three, if you say something, you've done your duty.

01:17:32.100 --> 01:17:34.320
If you don't, you share guilt.

01:17:34.320 --> 01:17:38.560
Right, this man, what I like about this man, this one that said...

01:17:38.900 --> 01:17:44.660
that you know what at least his hands are clean from David's sin of adultery and murder because he knew what was going on

01:17:44.820 --> 01:17:51.300
He knew the road David was going down and at least he said something that man can at least sleep well at night

01:17:51.420 --> 01:17:57.020
You know I as a pastor when I preach on things that offend people if I look back and I say hey

01:17:57.020 --> 01:18:01.660
What I said was what the Bible said I can sleep at night whether people take my advice or not

01:18:01.660 --> 01:18:05.240
How I would not be able to sleep at night is if I just didn't warn people about sin

01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:11.720
If I decided to get soft and get weak or retract the message not to offend someone, that's

01:18:11.720 --> 01:18:13.120
what would keep me up at night.

01:18:13.120 --> 01:18:14.760
You know what would keep me up at night?

01:18:14.760 --> 01:18:15.760
Not being a soul winner.

01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:17.760
That would keep me up.

01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:21.880
There's plenty of times where I went out soul winning and I didn't want to, but I didn't

01:18:21.880 --> 01:18:22.880
regret that I went out.

01:18:22.880 --> 01:18:24.780
I was glad that I went out afterwards.

01:18:24.780 --> 01:18:28.960
But there's also been times, to my shame, that I should have said something in life

01:18:28.960 --> 01:18:31.000
and I didn't and those are the times that I regret.

01:18:31.400 --> 01:18:32.900
Those are the times that live with me.

01:18:32.900 --> 01:18:35.900
You know, we should want to minimize those times as much as possible.

01:18:35.900 --> 01:18:37.400
Here's this principle in the Bible.

01:18:37.800 --> 01:18:42.920
Deuteronomy 21, 1, if one be found slain in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee

01:18:42.920 --> 01:18:47.760
to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him, then thy

01:18:47.760 --> 01:18:52.320
elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are

01:18:52.320 --> 01:18:54.240
round about him that is slain.

01:18:54.240 --> 01:18:56.960
So we have here a murder mystery, right?

01:18:56.960 --> 01:18:59.320
We don't know who killed this person.

01:18:59.320 --> 01:19:00.800
And so they're going to try to figure this out.

01:19:01.100 --> 01:19:04.340
Verse 3 it says, And it shall be that the city which is next

01:19:04.340 --> 01:19:07.940
under the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take

01:19:07.940 --> 01:19:11.540
in heifer which hath not been wrought with and which not

01:19:11.540 --> 01:19:13.640
hath not drawn into yoke.

01:19:13.640 --> 01:19:16.040
And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer

01:19:16.040 --> 01:19:19.880
unto a rough valley which is neither eared nor sown,

01:19:19.880 --> 01:19:22.720
and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the

01:19:22.720 --> 01:19:23.920
valley.

01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:27.260
And the priests, the sons of Levi shall come near for the

01:19:27.260 --> 01:19:27.500
Thanks for watching!

01:19:27.600 --> 01:19:32.320
For them the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the Lord.

01:19:32.320 --> 01:19:35.760
And by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried.

01:19:36.320 --> 01:19:41.120
And all the elders of that city that are next under the slain shall wash their hands over the

01:19:41.120 --> 01:19:46.320
heifer that is beheaded in the valley. And they shall answer and say, notice this,

01:19:46.320 --> 01:19:51.760
Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

01:19:52.300 --> 01:19:54.800
Be merciful, O Lord.

01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:56.600
So notice, they're testing, they're saying,

01:19:56.600 --> 01:19:58.900
hey, we don't know who killed this person.

01:19:59.600 --> 01:20:03.200
And he's saying, be merciful to us, God, in the integrity of our heart.

01:20:03.200 --> 01:20:05.400
We don't know who killed this person.

01:20:05.400 --> 01:20:09.880
But here's the thing, this is insinuating that if they did know who killed this person,

01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:13.040
that they should have said something, right?

01:20:13.040 --> 01:20:17.840
And if they had known who killed this person and they chose not to say something, guess

01:20:17.840 --> 01:20:19.080
what that would make them?

01:20:19.080 --> 01:20:20.520
That would make them guilty as well.

01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:26.440
Okay, it says, Be merciful, O Lord, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and

01:20:26.440 --> 01:20:32.880
lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge, and the blood shall be forgiven

01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:33.880
them.

01:20:33.880 --> 01:20:40.480
Notice verse 9, So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when

01:20:40.480 --> 01:20:43.720
thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.

01:20:43.720 --> 01:20:46.700
So the implication here is that if you did see who do it...

01:20:46.800 --> 01:20:53.680
who did it, if you do know who murdered this person, there would be guilt of blood that is upon you.

01:20:53.680 --> 01:21:00.160
Right? So what principle is this teaching? That there are times where not saying something can

01:21:00.160 --> 01:21:01.900
invoke guilt upon yourself.

01:21:02.100 --> 01:21:09.300
Right? Whereas at least if you said, I know who killed this person, I saw who killed this person, then you're free from that.

01:21:09.300 --> 01:21:15.500
Right? You don't have that on your conscience. God isn't holding that against you. If you saw the crime, you reported the crime.

01:21:15.500 --> 01:21:19.300
You know, like in our society, hey, if you witness a murder, better call the police.

01:21:19.300 --> 01:21:22.700
Right? If you know who committed a murder, you better tell the police about that.

01:21:22.700 --> 01:21:26.100
Don't cover up for someone's murder or God is going to be against you.

01:21:26.100 --> 01:21:28.100
God's wrath is going to be against you.

01:21:28.100 --> 01:21:29.100
Go to James 5.

01:21:29.900 --> 01:21:34.300
Okay, this principle also applies. Listen to this verse, Proverbs 29 12.

01:21:34.300 --> 01:21:39.180
If a ruler harken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

01:21:39.180 --> 01:21:41.180
I've often thought about this verse. Why is it?

01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:47.280
Like, is the Bible saying that if a leader is wicked, just automatically, inherently,

01:21:47.280 --> 01:21:48.680
all of the servants are wicked too?

01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:53.360
I think what this is saying is that oftentimes when a leader is very wicked or someone in

01:21:53.360 --> 01:21:58.200
government or someone in authority, when they're very wicked, they're doing a bunch of wicked

01:21:58.200 --> 01:21:59.200
stuff.

01:21:59.200 --> 01:22:00.200
They're doing a bunch of corrupt stuff.

01:22:00.200 --> 01:22:01.200
They're doing scheming.

01:22:01.200 --> 01:22:02.480
They're conspiring to steal money.

01:22:02.480 --> 01:22:04.240
They're doing all this evil.

01:22:04.240 --> 01:22:08.800
And the reason why the servants are also wicked is probably because they're privy to it.

01:22:09.000 --> 01:22:11.000
They know that the leader is doing this.

01:22:11.000 --> 01:22:16.700
They know that the government man is stealing money from the taxes or whatever.

01:22:16.700 --> 01:22:18.600
They know the pastor is stealing money.

01:22:18.600 --> 01:22:21.300
They know the pastor is in adultery or whatever.

01:22:21.300 --> 01:22:24.100
And they just want to cover it up and not say anything.

01:22:24.100 --> 01:22:26.900
What does that go to show? That would make them wicked as well.

01:22:26.900 --> 01:22:28.800
Right? So again, we see this principle of,

01:22:28.800 --> 01:22:31.400
hey, if you know about it and you say something,

01:22:31.400 --> 01:22:33.000
okay, it's off of you,

01:22:33.000 --> 01:22:35.400
but if you don't, well then you're evil as well.

01:22:36.400 --> 01:22:41.240
James 5 19 says brethren if any of you do err from the truth and one convert him

01:22:41.740 --> 01:22:48.080
Let him know that he which converteth the sinner from the air of his way shall save a soul from death

01:22:48.480 --> 01:22:50.480
and shall hide a multitude of

01:22:51.280 --> 01:22:54.980
Sins right so when a pastor preaches hard against sin

01:22:55.400 --> 01:22:58.700
and then someone in the congregation just refuses to obey that,

01:22:58.700 --> 01:23:00.800
that's not the pastor's fault, right?

01:23:00.800 --> 01:23:04.700
But if he preaches hard and people listen and they apply the Word of God,

01:23:04.700 --> 01:23:07.600
hey, you've converted a sinner from their evil ways,

01:23:07.600 --> 01:23:10.700
you've saved them from the evil consequences of their sin,

01:23:10.700 --> 01:23:12.200
and of course, this is the same way,

01:23:12.200 --> 01:23:16.000
and most important application for us is in soul winning.

01:23:16.800 --> 01:23:20.880
we have the gospel of Jesus Christ and if we just decide

01:23:20.880 --> 01:23:24.720
to not say something guess what that would cause us to have blood on our

01:23:24.720 --> 01:23:25.400
hands

01:23:25.400 --> 01:23:29.520
if we just say hey you know what peace and truth be in my days thank God I'm

01:23:29.520 --> 01:23:31.760
going to heaven but I'm not gonna tell anyone else about it

01:23:31.760 --> 01:23:35.720
that would have blood on your hands but hey if you go out

01:23:35.720 --> 01:23:39.320
and preach the gospel and people reject you you know they're gonna go to hell

01:23:39.320 --> 01:23:40.960
but at least that's not on you

01:23:41.600 --> 01:23:46.320
At least you could sleep at night knowing, hey, I offered this person the free gift.

01:23:46.320 --> 01:23:48.000
They rejected me, but you know what?

01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:49.000
That's on them.

01:23:49.000 --> 01:23:50.960
I went out and I warned them.

01:23:50.960 --> 01:23:53.120
And oftentimes we're soul winning.

01:23:53.120 --> 01:23:54.120
Oftentimes we're soul warning.

01:23:54.120 --> 01:23:55.120
Right?

01:23:55.120 --> 01:23:57.480
And we need both of those things.

01:23:57.480 --> 01:24:00.520
Go to Ezekiel chapter number three.

01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:03.120
Ezekiel chapter number three is returning there.

01:24:03.120 --> 01:24:04.600
Acts 20 verse 26.

01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:11.000
The apostle Paul said, wherefore I take you to record this day that I am pure from the blood of all men.

01:24:11.000 --> 01:24:15.000
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:20.000
That's a really powerful testimony of his life that he can say, hey, I'm pure from the blood of all men.

01:24:20.000 --> 01:24:24.000
I haven't held anything back from you. I haven't held back my soul winning from people.

01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:28.000
In fact, he spent his whole life trying to get as many people saved as possible.

01:24:28.000 --> 01:24:31.800
Ezekiel 3, 17. Son of man.

01:24:31.900 --> 01:24:35.500
I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel.

01:24:35.500 --> 01:24:37.180
Therefore, hear the word of my mouth

01:24:37.180 --> 01:24:39.020
and give them warning for me.

01:24:39.020 --> 01:24:42.140
When I say unto the wicked, thou shalt surely die.

01:24:42.140 --> 01:24:45.000
And thou givest him not warning, nor speakest

01:24:45.000 --> 01:24:48.360
to warn the wicked from his wicked way to save his life.

01:24:48.360 --> 01:24:51.140
The same wicked man shall die in his iniquity,

01:24:51.140 --> 01:24:54.740
but his blood will I require at thine hand."

01:24:54.740 --> 01:24:58.180
So notice, the watchman has a responsibility

01:24:58.180 --> 01:24:59.700
for other people.

01:24:59.800 --> 01:25:04.800
We as Christians, we are responsible for the souls of Oklahoma City,

01:25:04.800 --> 01:25:08.640
for the souls of mankind in our state, in our nation,

01:25:08.640 --> 01:25:09.880
yea in our whole world.

01:25:09.880 --> 01:25:14.520
We have a responsibility to be the watchman and to go warn them.

01:25:14.520 --> 01:25:17.920
You know, you have people criticizing God today and they'll say,

01:25:17.920 --> 01:25:20.000
what about people that don't hear the gospel?

01:25:20.000 --> 01:25:21.160
Are they going to go to hell?

01:25:21.160 --> 01:25:22.400
The answer is yes, buddy.

01:25:22.400 --> 01:25:23.520
So guess what you should do?

01:25:23.520 --> 01:25:24.720
You should go warn them.

01:25:25.100 --> 01:25:29.740
Because if you don't hear the gospel, you don't believe in Jesus Christ, you're going to hell.

01:25:29.740 --> 01:25:33.980
And so you could cry about that. You could say, that's not fair. You could say, I don't like that.

01:25:33.980 --> 01:25:38.220
Well, guess what? I don't want to hear any of your complaints until I see that care you have,

01:25:39.260 --> 01:25:43.580
matched with your actions of going soul winning. Because you know what? The people who care the

01:25:43.580 --> 01:25:46.700
most about people do the most soul winning. That's just a fact.

01:25:47.300 --> 01:25:52.200
And you know what people who just pontificate about how loving they are, but they don't go and preach the gospel?

01:25:52.200 --> 01:25:54.700
You're kidding yourself. You're not a loving person.

01:25:54.700 --> 01:25:57.700
The watchman that doesn't warn the people of the city saying,

01:25:57.700 --> 01:26:03.200
hey, destruction is coming, is not a good watchman and does not care about the people of the city.

01:26:03.400 --> 01:26:10.360
Notice verse 19, yet if thou warn the wicked and he turned not from his wickedness nor from his wicked way,

01:26:10.360 --> 01:26:18.280
he shall die in his iniquity. Notice, but thou hast delivered thy soul. Right? So look,

01:26:18.280 --> 01:26:23.560
we go out soul winning with the goal of getting people saved. That's our primary goal. But here's

01:26:23.560 --> 01:26:28.920
another reason you should go out soul winning is to deliver your own soul from blood guiltiness.

01:26:29.700 --> 01:26:35.140
so that God does not look down at your life and see that you have the blood of souls on your hand

01:26:35.140 --> 01:26:39.060
because you've decided to be selfish and wicked and not preach the gospel. Let me tell you,

01:26:39.060 --> 01:26:43.700
if there's ever a time to say something, it's to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.

01:26:44.420 --> 01:26:49.220
And look, I want people to say something about the sins of our nation. I want people to say

01:26:49.220 --> 01:26:53.460
something to people in their life when they're going down a wrong path because you love that

01:26:53.460 --> 01:26:56.900
person. But you know what I really want people to say is the gospel.

01:26:57.400 --> 01:27:01.720
That's really what I want you to say today is I want you to become a soul winner and say something

01:27:01.720 --> 01:27:07.880
to the lost and dying world that is out there. Last place I'll have you turn to is Proverbs 24.

01:27:09.480 --> 01:27:14.600
I'll read this again for you. Second Samuel 11 3 and David sent and inquired after the woman

01:27:15.240 --> 01:27:21.800
and one said is not this Bathsheba the daughter of Eliam the wife of Uriah the Hittite.

01:27:22.300 --> 01:27:26.060
a very insignificant character in God's Word. But you know what? I like this guy.

01:27:26.780 --> 01:27:31.180
I really like this guy. I'm looking forward to meeting this guy in heaven. You know, this guy is

01:27:31.180 --> 01:27:36.860
a hero. You know why? Because he said something. He was the one man that was willing to stand up,

01:27:36.860 --> 01:27:41.420
even in the face of a very powerful man, King David. And you know what? He said something.

01:27:42.140 --> 01:27:46.220
Number one, have the courage to stand for biblical truth, even if you are the minority.

01:27:46.600 --> 01:27:48.680
2. Speak up at the right time.

01:27:48.680 --> 01:27:51.840
3. If you say something, you've done your duty.

01:27:51.840 --> 01:27:53.400
If not, you share the guilt.

01:27:53.400 --> 01:27:55.520
Let's end in Proverbs 24, 11.

01:27:55.520 --> 01:28:00.760
If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be

01:28:00.760 --> 01:28:04.400
slain, if thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not!

01:28:04.400 --> 01:28:06.920
Doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it?

01:28:06.920 --> 01:28:10.080
And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it.

01:28:10.600 --> 01:28:14.440
And shall not he render to every man according to his works.

01:28:14.440 --> 01:28:16.480
Let me tell you, the most important area of life

01:28:16.480 --> 01:28:19.400
to say something is being a soul winner.

01:28:19.400 --> 01:28:21.980
And you know what, you do not have this excuse,

01:28:21.980 --> 01:28:23.440
oh, I didn't know.

01:28:23.440 --> 01:28:25.540
Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to be a soul winner.

01:28:25.540 --> 01:28:27.980
He's saying, hey, don't say that you didn't know.

01:28:27.980 --> 01:28:29.680
Don't say that you didn't hear it.

01:28:29.680 --> 01:28:32.380
Doesn't he that pondered the hearts know the truth?

01:28:32.380 --> 01:28:34.760
And let me just let you in on a secret.

01:28:34.760 --> 01:28:38.000
God knows that you know that you should be a soul winner.

01:28:38.400 --> 01:28:42.900
God today knows that you know that you should be a soul winner and you know what we should do with that?

01:28:42.900 --> 01:28:45.700
Say something. Let's pray. Lord, thank you so much for your word.

01:28:45.700 --> 01:28:48.100
Thank you that you've said a lot to us in your word.

01:28:48.100 --> 01:28:52.100
I pray that we would be willing to preach every single word in your Bible,

01:28:52.100 --> 01:28:54.400
not be ashamed of any of your words,

01:28:54.400 --> 01:28:58.000
not be afraid of the faces of those that scoff at the Word of God,

01:28:58.000 --> 01:29:00.100
but rather we would fear you only.

01:29:00.500 --> 01:29:04.260
Help us to love our family and friends and correct them when they're wrong.

01:29:04.260 --> 01:29:06.820
Help us to receive correction when we are wrong.

01:29:06.820 --> 01:29:11.060
And most importantly, help us all to be bold in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

01:29:11.060 --> 01:29:12.820
And it's in His name we pray. Amen.

01:29:20.700 --> 01:29:25.700
For our last him this evening, turn if you would to 119.

01:29:34.800 --> 01:29:40.640
Ham number 119, 119, till the storm passes by.

01:29:52.100 --> 01:29:54.100
119, let's sing together.

01:29:54.600 --> 01:30:03.200
In the dark of the midnight, have I hoped it might be

01:30:03.200 --> 01:30:12.000
While the storm howls above me and there's no hiding place

01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:22.600
In the crash of the thunder, precious Lord, hear my cry, keep me safe

01:30:22.600 --> 01:30:28.860
Till the storm passes by

01:30:28.860 --> 01:30:33.020
Till the storm passes over

01:30:33.020 --> 01:30:37.520
Till the thunder sounds no more

01:30:37.520 --> 01:30:46.020
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky

01:30:46.200 --> 01:30:50.520
Hold me fast, let me stand

01:30:50.520 --> 01:30:55.040
In the hollow of thy hands

01:30:55.040 --> 01:31:02.640
Keep me safe till the storm passes by

01:31:04.000 --> 01:31:08.000
Many times Satan whispered,

01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:12.000
There is no need to try.

01:31:12.000 --> 01:31:17.000
For there's no end of sorrow,

01:31:17.000 --> 01:31:21.000
There's no hope by and by.

01:31:21.000 --> 01:31:26.000
But I know thou art with me,

01:31:26.000 --> 01:31:30.000
And tomorrow I'll rise,

01:31:30.000 --> 01:31:32.000
where the storm

01:31:32.000 --> 01:31:39.000
Never darken the skies

01:31:39.000 --> 01:31:43.000
Till the storm passes over

01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:48.000
Till the thunder sounds no more

01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:57.000
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky

01:31:57.000 --> 01:31:59.000
Hold me fast

01:31:59.300 --> 01:32:06.180
Let me stand in the hollow of thy hand.

01:32:06.180 --> 01:32:14.100
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

01:32:14.900 --> 01:32:23.900
When the long night has ended and the storms come no more,

01:32:23.900 --> 01:32:32.900
Let me stand in Thy presence on that bright, peaceful shore,

01:32:32.900 --> 01:32:38.900
In that land where the tempest never comes.

01:32:38.900 --> 01:32:42.820
Lord, may I well with Thee

01:32:42.900 --> 01:32:49.900
When the storm passes by

01:32:49.900 --> 01:32:53.900
Till the storm passes over

01:32:53.900 --> 01:32:58.900
Till the thunder sounds no more

01:32:58.900 --> 01:33:07.900
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky

01:33:07.900 --> 01:33:09.900
Hold me fast

01:33:10.300 --> 01:33:16.940
Let me stand in the hollow of thy hand.

01:33:16.940 --> 01:33:25.300
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

01:33:25.300 --> 01:33:27.300
Men, with that you are dismissed.
