If somebody can quote it to two individuals 03:37.720 --> 03:44.920 that are not a family member perfectly they will get a reward. And so the other thing is I want to 03:44.920 --> 03:49.160 encourage you during the weeks when we're doing it the ice cream is still available. 03:49.800 --> 03:55.600 And more importantly than that, just getting the memorization is important. 03:55.600 --> 03:57.560 So these are good verses to memorize. 03:57.560 --> 03:58.560 It's a good chapter. 03:58.560 --> 04:01.760 One of my favorite chapters in the Bible. 04:01.760 --> 04:03.720 Then year to date soul winning numbers. 04:03.720 --> 04:06.520 We have 700 souls won. 04:06.520 --> 04:09.280 We have one baptism for the year. 04:09.280 --> 04:12.800 Right there on the right you can see all the upcoming July birthdays. 04:13.100 --> 04:19.340 if you didn't get a chance to say already but today is Christian's birthday so uh give her 04:21.740 --> 04:24.540 hey also is your anniversary of the 24th 04:27.000 --> 04:28.600 Is it July 24th? 04:32.900 --> 04:35.540 Oh, because I was going to leave your birthday... 04:35.540 --> 04:37.220 Now I know what I did. 04:37.220 --> 04:41.700 I have the anniversary, but then I knew you're already at the top. 04:41.700 --> 04:42.580 I miss that. 04:42.580 --> 04:43.540 My eyes are just... 04:43.540 --> 04:45.540 I just totally missed the Christian Rodgers. 04:48.200 --> 04:51.340 Because well long story short there's so many birthdays 04:51.340 --> 04:57.700 I had to move the whole formatting around and I completely missed where I had put I knew I had put your birthday like for 04:57.700 --> 05:02.880 The last of June and then I wanted everybody in July and somehow I missed the top part because it met 05:03.500 --> 05:10.100 It like basically comes to get like overlaps. It looks like one thing so I think where's Christian's birthday 05:10.100 --> 05:14.340 I knew I had it in here. So happy birthday by the way, and then 05:15.200 --> 05:22.320 We had a good soul winning marathon, 10 soul winners, 16 salvations. Coming up, Pastor Shelley's 05:24.720 --> 05:32.000 Pastor Shelley's a coming on the 19th and then I thought I had it here. When did you say it was? 05:32.000 --> 05:41.760 The 27th? For the baby shower? The 26th. So on the 26th we have the the Rogers Christian Rogers 05:42.400 --> 05:49.200 baby shower. If you have any questions on that, please see my wife or any of the other ladies. 05:49.200 --> 05:53.920 Do not ask me about it. I do get asked weird stuff in the church that I don't know. I don't know. 05:54.480 --> 06:00.320 Okay, I'm telling you right now. I don't know. And we care about Christian because what I'm about 06:00.320 --> 06:06.080 to say, but I don't care about the shower. Like I personally don't care. The wives and the ladies, 06:06.080 --> 06:09.000 but I just, you know, congratulations, enjoy it. 06:09.100 --> 06:10.820 We'll make sure you have a good one. 06:10.820 --> 06:12.660 I'm pretty sure, but that's it. 06:12.660 --> 06:15.700 And then just to real quick, I did make a note. 06:15.700 --> 06:17.340 I guess, you know, and it's fine. 06:17.340 --> 06:19.620 It's been a little bit busy the last couple of weeks. 06:19.620 --> 06:22.700 But if after the services, I could just get a little help. 06:22.700 --> 06:25.580 We've got like some old trash from last week. 06:25.580 --> 06:28.340 Just kind of just a basic cleanup, vacuuming. 06:28.400 --> 06:33.340 Not deep anything just I think the doughnuts and everything accumulated from the last two weeks 06:33.340 --> 06:37.920 So there's just a little bit of dirt everywhere if the kids you guys can help us with the pews 06:37.920 --> 06:40.840 Just pick it up a little bit of trash and all that stuff. I would greatly appreciate it 06:40.840 --> 06:46.280 I'm not asking anybody clean toilets or anything like that. I mean if you want to that's great, but I'm not telling you 06:46.280 --> 06:50.240 I just need a little cleanup, so it's not overwhelming and then uh 06:51.280 --> 06:54.300 Pray for the expecting mothers and then the only other thing I know 06:55.100 --> 06:59.900 You guys are more than welcome to hang out between soul winning or if you come back early. 06:59.900 --> 07:03.900 But just watch the kids around here because I've already had to replace one of these. 07:03.900 --> 07:08.140 That was my fault. We almost broke one of these earlier today. 07:08.140 --> 07:13.100 So just and I know kids are kids and if we need to move stuff that just as the adults just move it 07:13.100 --> 07:21.020 somewhere to safety so that things don't get damaged or messed up. Then on the back we have the 07:23.800 --> 07:30.200 the prayer request and let me know if there's anything else that we need to update. How's your 07:30.200 --> 07:36.440 cough brother Matt? Is it still persistent? It's still there. All right well we'll continue to pray for that. 07:36.440 --> 07:40.840 You know that's weird headaches and coughs are some of those weird things you can get and 07:41.480 --> 07:45.880 it could just be something else. So I do want to just say once again thank you to everybody who 07:45.880 --> 07:50.760 went soul winning.

Psalm chapter number five. 12:41.000 --> 12:42.360 Psalm chapter 5. 12:50.200 --> 12:53.880 Psalm chapter number five verse one, the Bible reads, 12:53.880 --> 12:57.800 give ear to my words, oh Lord, consider my meditation. 12:57.800 --> 13:01.800 Harken unto the voice of my cry, my King and my God, 13:01.800 --> 13:04.520 for unto thee will I pray. 13:04.520 --> 13:07.600 My voice shall thou hear in the morning, oh Lord. 13:07.600 --> 13:11.080 In the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee 13:11.080 --> 13:12.400 and will look up. 13:12.400 --> 13:15.680 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure and wickedness, 13:15.680 --> 13:18.120 neither shall evil dwell with thee. 13:18.300 --> 13:24.300 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight. Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 13:25.100 --> 13:31.100 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing. The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. 13:31.100 --> 13:35.660 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy, 13:35.660 --> 13:38.940 and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. 13:38.940 --> 13:43.840 Leave me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies. 13:44.200 --> 13:47.440 Make thy way straight before my face. 13:47.440 --> 13:49.960 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. 13:49.960 --> 13:53.240 Their inward part is very wickedness. 13:53.240 --> 13:55.960 Their throat is an open sepulcher. 13:55.960 --> 13:58.280 They flatter with their tongue. 13:58.280 --> 14:00.400 Destroy thou them, O God. 14:00.400 --> 14:03.320 Let them fall by their own counsels. 14:03.320 --> 14:06.480 Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions. 14:06.480 --> 14:08.560 For they have rebelled against thee. 14:09.200 --> 14:14.400 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice, let them ever shout for joy, 14:14.400 --> 14:21.600 because thou defendest them. Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee, for thou, 14:22.240 --> 14:29.680 Lord, will bless the righteous, and will favor, will thou compass him as with a shield. 14:29.680 --> 14:32.080 Let us bow our heads and go to the Lord in prayer. 14:32.700 --> 14:36.620 Father, thank you once again for gathering us here this evening. 14:36.620 --> 14:39.660 Thank you for this church. Thank you for your word, Lord. 14:40.780 --> 14:46.060 Fill Pastor Reyes with your Holy Spirit and allow him to preach the message with boldness from your 14:46.060 --> 14:52.700 pulpit. Lord, let everything that is said and done here glorify you. And it's in Jesus name we pray. 14:52.700 --> 14:53.200 Amen. 14:56.220 --> 14:58.460 All right, we're there. It's Psalm five. 14:58.460 --> 15:00.460 Oh, give me a second. 15:07.100 --> 15:09.500 We're there in Psalm 5. 15:22.600 --> 15:26.040 And you'll turn there to verse 8. The Bible says there, 15:26.040 --> 15:30.200 lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine eyes. 15:31.160 --> 15:36.200 Make thy way straight before my face. And the title of the sermon this evening, 15:36.200 --> 15:39.000 or this afternoon, the title of the sermon this afternoon is, 15:39.000 --> 15:43.400 Make America Straight Again. Make America Straight Again. 15:43.400 --> 15:46.920 And of course, this is a term we've heard over the last probably 15:47.900 --> 15:52.060 maybe almost eight years, it started out in 2016 when 15:52.400 --> 15:54.160 Donald Trump came out with the slogan, 15:54.160 --> 15:55.800 make America great again. 15:55.800 --> 15:58.040 And everybody just took that and started 15:58.040 --> 16:00.880 interjecting whatever they thought would be great. 16:00.880 --> 16:03.800 And then back in 2019, there was a group 16:03.800 --> 16:06.800 of pastors who some of them don't associate with us 16:06.800 --> 16:07.640 anymore. 16:07.640 --> 16:11.080 Of course, some of them still preach the same thing 16:11.080 --> 16:14.160 that they preached eight years ago, including myself. 16:14.160 --> 16:17.320 Now, I wasn't a speaker at that, but I 16:17.320 --> 16:19.960 was at that conference in Orlando, Florida. 16:19.960 --> 16:20.400 Thanks for watching! 16:20.400 --> 16:22.380 and they had a conference called MASSA, 16:22.380 --> 16:24.740 or Make America Straight Again, 16:24.740 --> 16:27.640 and at that conference there was a bunch of 16:27.640 --> 16:30.120 queer sodomites protesting, 16:30.120 --> 16:32.900 spewing all kinds of vile rhetoric. 16:33.000 --> 16:38.200 It didn't matter if there was women or children or innocent people, you know, they didn't care. 16:38.200 --> 16:42.280 And even to this day, they're still doing the same thing, right? 16:42.280 --> 16:49.000 And honestly, you know, the slogan works out really well because first of all, it's just, it would be better. 16:49.000 --> 16:54.120 This is the better slogan for America than make America great again, would be to make it straight again. 16:54.120 --> 16:55.320 And it's not just straight. 16:55.700 --> 17:02.200 Talking about our sexuality, but it's also straight talking about our principles and our beliefs 17:02.200 --> 17:06.340 And you know our morality and what we believe from the Bible 17:06.340 --> 17:11.320 You know if our country actually would be straight again in all the things that matter to God 17:11.540 --> 17:15.360 You know Donald Trump would be a much better president than he currently is right now 17:15.360 --> 17:20.660 Let me just tell you that I'm not a MAGA because what they'll do is they'll try to associate any term like this like 17:20.660 --> 17:22.940 Massa to MAGA. We are not MAGA 17:23.700 --> 17:29.280 matter of fact if anything we are the furthest thing from Magna like we are 17:29.280 --> 17:34.160 for the Lord Jesus Christ and the things that he said in the Word of God but I 17:34.160 --> 17:36.400 just like this because in Psalm 5 17:36.900 --> 17:41.780 Says give ear to my words. Oh Lord consider my meditation 17:42.300 --> 17:48.960 And I like that he says hearken unto the voice of my cry my king and my God for unto thee 17:49.100 --> 17:52.140 Will I pray my voice shall out here in the morning? 17:52.140 --> 17:57.980 Oh Lord in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee and will look up for thou are not a God 17:58.180 --> 18:02.520 That has pleasure and wickedness so he separated himself. He's saying I'm gonna pray to you 18:02.520 --> 18:04.900 you're gonna know that I'm talking to you because 18:04.900 --> 18:09.900 you know that just like you, you're not a God that takes pleasure in wickedness. 18:09.900 --> 18:15.900 So what he's saying here is that he doesn't take pleasure in wickedness either. 18:15.900 --> 18:21.700 Neither shall evil dwell with thee, the foolish shall not stand on thy side, and thou hatest 18:21.700 --> 18:23.900 all workers of iniquity. 18:23.900 --> 18:29.020 And I love this, it says, thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing, for the Lord will 18:29.020 --> 18:31.540 abhor the bloody and deceitful man. 18:32.000 --> 18:38.520 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy, and in thy 18:38.520 --> 18:40.760 fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. 18:40.760 --> 18:46.600 And then he says, Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies. 18:46.600 --> 18:48.160 Make thy way straight before. 18:48.500 --> 18:51.060 My face and you notice he's not just praying to god 18:51.140 --> 18:55.540 He's pointing out that there's wicked people that god hates them that god will destroy them 18:55.780 --> 18:59.780 But also he says hey make my path straight because of my enemies 19:00.100 --> 19:06.900 The reason he's saying that is because it's pressure whenever you get the enemies of the of god to attack you directly, right? 19:07.140 --> 19:12.840 They'll come at you and they'll speak falsely of you or in past times other churches have been protested 19:13.220 --> 19:16.360 Or they'll bring up, you know, they were just kind of some weirdos 19:16.500 --> 19:23.080 Whatever it is, there's always some kind of agenda and it's our prayer that the Lord would just keep us on that straight path, right? 19:23.080 --> 19:27.140 And so let's just finish that it says for there is no faithfulness in their mouth 19:27.900 --> 19:34.400 You know, there are people that you can't trust they don't trust in anything, right? Their inward part is very wickedness 19:35.000 --> 19:38.040 Their throat is an open sepulcher. 19:38.040 --> 19:40.200 Basically, they're leading people to death. 19:40.200 --> 19:42.160 They're speaking death. 19:42.160 --> 19:44.040 They flatter with their tongue. 19:44.040 --> 19:46.000 I mean, they'll pat each other on the back. 19:46.000 --> 19:48.880 And I'm going to touch on this here in a second as far as who 19:48.880 --> 19:49.680 is this they? 19:49.680 --> 19:51.320 Because people are like, what they? 19:51.320 --> 19:53.800 Well, I'll give you specifics here in a second. 19:53.900 --> 19:59.780 It says, destroy them, destroy thou them, O God, let them fall by their own counsels, 19:59.780 --> 20:06.700 cast them out into the multitude of the transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee. 20:06.700 --> 20:11.380 And I mean, honestly, you know, this agenda that's been going on in the month of June 20:11.380 --> 20:14.980 for the last 30 years, I can't believe it's been 30 years since they've been doing this. 20:15.300 --> 20:21.780 Is all in direct rebellion toward only one individual God Almighty 20:22.340 --> 20:26.340 Towards the Trinity right God the Father God the Son got the Holy Ghost 20:27.340 --> 20:31.900 Verse 11 says but let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice 20:32.700 --> 20:39.980 Let them ever shout for joy because thou defendest them. Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee 20:40.300 --> 20:46.620 For thou Lord will bless the righteous with favor without compass him as a shield 20:46.700 --> 20:52.160 And look you're either gonna have joy in the Lord or you're gonna grow some kind of bitterness 20:52.860 --> 20:59.420 wickedness, you know just contempt and ultimately rebellion towards God towards the things of God 21:00.300 --> 21:05.180 So why am I preaching this? Well, number one, you know, it is my commitment that whether the 21:05.180 --> 21:11.180 tide is for us or against us, as long as there's a pride month, then we'll just preach about God's 21:11.180 --> 21:18.620 word against pride month, right? I mean, it just any June, 2027, June, 2028, probably June till the 21:18.620 --> 21:22.700 day that I die. And who knows it might even get worse because it's not going to get better. The 21:22.700 --> 21:23.980 The Bible tells us, right? 21:24.200 --> 21:31.320 But the other reason is when we went to the anti-Israel conference, there was a young man, 21:31.320 --> 21:37.480 he's 23 years old currently, and he came to visit from Connecticut to the conference. 21:37.480 --> 21:42.600 There's people from all over the country there, by the way, so it wasn't like something shocking to 21:42.600 --> 21:48.760 see somebody from another state, but he is a candidate for the 50th district for, I think it's 21:48.760 --> 21:51.760 the House of Representatives for the state of Connecticut. 21:52.200 --> 21:54.440 and he's running on the Republican ticket. 21:54.440 --> 21:58.520 And what's interesting is he was running unopposed in the primaries. 21:59.240 --> 22:05.800 Now he's running opposed by the same Republican party that espouses Christian values. 22:05.800 --> 22:10.040 And the reason that they're running someone in opposition to him 22:10.040 --> 22:13.880 is because on June 2nd, he made an important announcement, right? 22:13.880 --> 22:17.320 So let me see if I got all my... 22:20.000 --> 22:23.560 I don't know why this this copied here, but this is not what I want in this first part 22:23.560 --> 22:28.540 But anyways on June 2nd on Facebook and other social media platforms 22:29.400 --> 22:31.160 Jaden McCormick 22:31.160 --> 22:36.480 And by the way, we met up brother Matt met up some of you guys met up. He was running around in boots 22:36.480 --> 22:41.040 I thought it was interesting to see a Yankee with boots, but I was like, hey, you know, you're in Texas 22:41.320 --> 22:43.640 Amen, you know wear some boots but 22:44.700 --> 22:49.420 He posted on Facebook and other channels, he said a message from your Republican candidate 22:49.420 --> 22:54.740 for state representative, happy straight month, which you know when I read that, it didn't 22:54.740 --> 22:56.020 even bat an eye. 22:56.020 --> 22:57.020 Amen. 22:57.020 --> 22:58.020 Happy straight month. 22:58.020 --> 23:03.740 We should be straight in every, you know, essence of that word. 23:03.740 --> 23:09.760 And then he said, it's America, it's American to be anti-Pride month. 23:09.760 --> 23:12.080 This is America's 250th anniversary. 23:12.400 --> 23:18.720 In an unfortunate recent history, Pride Month recognition began with Bill Clinton back in 1999. 23:19.520 --> 23:23.920 Take a stand like George Washington in 1778 during the Revolutionary War while serving 23:23.920 --> 23:28.640 as commander in chief of the Continental Army, Washington approved the court martial and dismissal 23:28.640 --> 23:35.120 of Lieutenant Frederick Gotthold Enslen. Enslen was charged with attempting to commit sodomy. 23:35.120 --> 23:38.700 The guy was discharged for trying to be... 23:38.800 --> 23:44.240 a queer. And then he said later, as your state representative, I, Jordan McCormick, would stand 23:44.240 --> 23:51.920 firmly against the transgender and LGBT movement that has for too long corrupted our families, 23:51.920 --> 23:57.920 undermined parental authority, and eroded the foundational values of our society. This ideology 23:57.920 --> 24:03.520 promotes confusion over clarity, prioritizes feelings over biological reality, and seeks to 24:03.520 --> 24:06.520 redefine the natural order of marriage, family, and 24:06.800 --> 24:13.220 human identity in ways that directly contradict God-given rights and common sense. 24:13.220 --> 24:15.580 He says, if you elect me, basically, that's what he's saying. 24:15.580 --> 24:20.600 He says, I will fight relentlessly in the state legislature to protect our children 24:20.600 --> 24:26.380 from premature medical interventions, indoctrination in schools, and the normalization of perverse 24:26.380 --> 24:29.180 ideologies that threatened the innocence of the next generation. 24:29.800 --> 24:35.560 He says, together we can restore sanity, protect our families, and reclaim the soul of our state. 24:37.160 --> 24:43.800 And then immediately, I mean like within 24 hours of this post, you know, and he's running 24:43.800 --> 24:51.160 unopposed, the House Republican leader of the state, of the of the representatives, 24:51.160 --> 24:54.760 leader of representatives, by the name of Vincent Candelora, which by the way, 24:56.300 --> 25:02.460 He might have a family, obviously he didn't say he's queer, but he sure talked with a funny lisp, 25:02.460 --> 25:07.420 you know, because I listened to the interview. And so usually a man that has a lisp is not one that 25:07.420 --> 25:11.900 we would consider very manly, but that's just my personal opinion. He has not said that. I'm not 25:11.900 --> 25:16.460 making an accusation. I'm just making maybe an inference, right? He said, immediately, 25:16.460 --> 25:20.620 House Republican leader Rep Vincent Candelora stated that he should step aside. 25:21.400 --> 25:26.960 But what I like about this young guy, Jaden, is that when he got pushed back, he doubled 25:26.960 --> 25:27.960 down. 25:27.960 --> 25:28.960 Right? 25:28.960 --> 25:31.080 They interviewed him and he's like, I'm not backing down. 25:31.080 --> 25:35.840 And as a matter of fact, let me tell you other things that the Bible says about this wicked 25:35.840 --> 25:37.440 and perverse lifestyle. 25:37.440 --> 25:38.440 Right? 25:38.440 --> 25:43.600 And then so they went back to some of his posts from like last year, and I guess he 25:43.600 --> 25:48.800 had posted a picture of a noose in reaction to like a gay marriage story. 25:49.100 --> 25:54.880 And people got mad. I mean honestly a noose I think is too kind. The Bible says that we should stone them to death 25:54.880 --> 26:01.320 I mean pastor Cobb has preached endlessly for over a decade that I've been here before I preach regularly 26:01.800 --> 26:07.640 That it's one of the most disgusting vile lifestyles and he would constantly remind us that the Bible's 26:07.920 --> 26:11.480 clear that the indication or the punishment for that lifestyle is 26:12.320 --> 26:15.240 You know stoning by the community 26:16.800 --> 26:22.800 Not by us, by the government would pass this down and then people would stone. 26:22.800 --> 26:24.800 We're not taking vigilanteism into our hands. 26:24.800 --> 26:26.800 I just want to always clarify that, right? 26:26.800 --> 26:34.800 But then of course, he's also posted about the Holocaust and some of the inconsistencies in that rhetoric. 26:34.800 --> 26:38.800 So of course he's anti-Zionism, which the Republican Party loves. 26:38.800 --> 26:43.800 And then he's also made messages where he's like, women should just stay out of politics. 26:44.300 --> 26:45.900 Which I think would be great. 26:45.900 --> 26:49.980 I think we would have a better political system if women just stayed out of politics. 26:49.980 --> 26:55.540 You know, if you like Hillary Clinton, you got a problem, right? 26:55.540 --> 26:58.780 But also if you like Sarah Palin, you had a problem. 26:58.780 --> 27:01.180 And if you don't remember who Sarah Palin is, don't worry about it. 27:01.180 --> 27:03.020 Maybe I'm dating myself. 27:03.020 --> 27:05.320 But you know, he's actually on the right path. 27:05.320 --> 27:08.200 First of all, it's good to have the next generation. 27:08.600 --> 27:12.440 you know, just espousing biblical facts. And you say, 27:12.440 --> 27:16.600 you've literally preached sermons, pastor, that you do not vote anymore, 27:16.600 --> 27:20.280 and the reasons you don't vote anymore, and why you shouldn't vote personally, 27:20.280 --> 27:24.520 you know, from the Bible. So why would you promote or talk about someone who's 27:24.520 --> 27:27.000 running for politics? Well, the only reason I'm doing this is because he's 27:27.000 --> 27:30.920 actually doing it based on how I think politicians should run, which is, you 27:30.920 --> 27:35.080 know, on a Christian platform. He's a soul winner. 27:35.080 --> 27:36.440 He's King James only. 27:36.600 --> 27:40.600 He's one saved, always saved, and he believes that everything that's in the Bible is true. 27:41.240 --> 27:45.240 You know, he's probably the closest candidate I've ever heard to say that. Ron Paul is good, 27:45.240 --> 27:50.440 but he wasn't that, like as far as biblical principles. And the reason I'm also doing this 27:50.440 --> 27:59.720 is because I remember I was 32 years old. So this is about 14 years ago. I was the chief of staff. I got 28:00.800 --> 28:07.680 uh, through a mentor of mine and some connections, I got a position as the chief of staff for 28:07.680 --> 28:14.520 the city, the elected, uh, member city council member of district a here in Houston, Helena 28:14.520 --> 28:19.680 Brown, you know, which that's a whole other story. Obviously I think differently now about 28:19.680 --> 28:23.120 women and she was kind of nuts. She, she shouldn't have been in politics, but that's a whole 28:23.120 --> 28:27.960 other story. That's another day. Let's not digress. But during that time, I just saw 28:27.960 --> 28:28.800 It's all like. 28:28.900 --> 28:33.460 You know, just like this young man, and just like a lot of us, we feel like this helplessness 28:33.460 --> 28:36.220 of all the stupidity that we've got to deal with. 28:36.220 --> 28:40.940 And you're like, if I just became the mayor of this city, I would do this first, and this 28:40.940 --> 28:43.260 first, and this first, and I would clean this up. 28:43.260 --> 28:46.020 And as a matter of fact, I do like that about his platform. 28:46.500 --> 28:51.180 He's just espousing Biblical principles, but he's really running on a platform of, 28:51.180 --> 28:55.300 hey, let's just fix the state. 28:55.300 --> 28:58.740 Let's actually re-appropriate taxes to the right place. 28:58.740 --> 29:01.700 Let's fix the potholes, things like that that just really matter. 29:02.000 --> 29:04.300 And it would be the same here in the city of Houston. 29:04.300 --> 29:06.800 I remember telling my wife, man, if I just got elected, 29:06.800 --> 29:09.960 you know, the first thing we'd do is we'd fire all these people 29:09.960 --> 29:13.300 that, you know, parks and rec, all the people that are, you know, 29:13.300 --> 29:16.300 what is it, the animals, and let's go out there and fix. 29:16.300 --> 29:18.460 Who's driven down some of these Houston streets lately? 29:18.460 --> 29:20.260 I mean, and by the way, I'm not making a candidacy. 29:20.260 --> 29:22.800 I'm just saying those are the things that we think about. 29:22.800 --> 29:26.360 And so I was the chief of staff for like a year, 29:26.360 --> 29:29.900 and I got into the political thing where I ended up going to... 29:30.000 --> 29:35.000 the Texas Republican Convention, the Delegate Convention. 29:38.280 --> 29:41.960 And I actually ran for the National Delegate. 29:41.960 --> 29:44.320 This is when Mitt Romney, is it Mitt Romney? 29:44.320 --> 29:47.400 Yeah, Mitt Romney, yeah, 2012. 29:47.400 --> 29:50.660 So this is Mitt Romney is the one that, the forerunner, 29:50.660 --> 29:53.500 but remember Ron Paul is still in the running. 29:53.500 --> 29:55.900 And man, I got up and I gave my little. 29:56.200 --> 30:02.760 Soapbox speech 30 seconds and I was talking about how I'm a Mexican and I was naturalized and I have legal papers 30:02.760 --> 30:10.260 And you know that you know, I believe in the morality of God and you know stayed and country and all that stuff and people like me 30:11.100 --> 30:15.660 But when push came to shove, somebody came and pushed me a little bit and they said, 30:15.660 --> 30:19.500 hey, if you make it to the national delegate, if you go to Florida, you know, Orlando, 30:19.500 --> 30:22.940 I think it was in Orlando at the time, they're like, who are you going to vote for? 30:22.940 --> 30:25.500 And I said, well, my vote is personal. That's why you're voting for me. 30:25.500 --> 30:31.500 I'll make the most educated decision, which they took to mean that I would vote for Ron Paul. 30:31.700 --> 30:36.740 Right the delegates were all pushing for the Mormon idiot Mitt Romney 30:36.740 --> 30:40.100 Thank God that he's like no longer on the news or anything like that. So 30:40.780 --> 30:43.120 There's a guy who hadn't run, you know 30:43.120 --> 30:48.080 What so what they'll do is there's a room like this where you guys are sitting and whoever wants to run will come up and give 30:48.080 --> 30:51.300 Their their stump speech. It's like hey, you know, I'm so and so blah blah 30:51.700 --> 30:57.100 And then they go through a second round, and if anybody else decides that they want to do that, they can. 30:57.100 --> 31:03.800 And all of a sudden this one older gentleman that didn't participate in the first round participated in the second round. 31:03.800 --> 31:06.700 So I got up there and I just like gave my speech again and I sat down. 31:06.700 --> 31:15.100 And all of a sudden he got up and he goes, Enrique Reyes and so and so, those guys are voting for Ron Paul. 31:15.100 --> 31:16.900 Don't vote for them. 31:17.100 --> 31:20.700 I was like, whoa, you mean like in front of like at least a hundred, 150 people. 31:20.700 --> 31:23.980 I was like, what the, I was sitting next to my, I was like, what's going on here? 31:23.980 --> 31:28.300 It just kind of threw me off. Obviously I've not like long in the tooth in politics. I just 31:28.300 --> 31:31.740 gotten in. I'm trying to figure this thing out. I'm trying to do things the right way. 31:31.740 --> 31:34.380 I didn't realize I needed to cheat my way through this whole thing. But, 31:34.940 --> 31:40.700 and then the chair of that little section was Paul Betancourt. If you don't know who 31:40.700 --> 31:43.580 ball pedicure it is, he's actually serving at the state level now. 31:44.300 --> 31:49.840 And he explicitly told people that liked me not to vote for me. 31:49.840 --> 31:54.440 And the reason we know this is because afterwards, you know, in politics, everybody gives everything away. 31:54.440 --> 31:55.940 They're all gossippers anyways. 31:55.940 --> 32:00.340 We're walking back to the main room and a bunch of the couples kept coming up to me and my wife. 32:00.340 --> 32:02.140 And they're like, oh man, we loved you. 32:02.140 --> 32:03.740 Don't give up the fight. 32:03.740 --> 32:05.640 You know, you really need to stick to this. 32:05.640 --> 32:09.640 We were going to vote for you, but we were told not to vote for you because of Ron Paul. 32:10.100 --> 32:14.800 If you would have just voted, if you would have just said nothing or you would have said you would have done for Mitt Romney, 32:14.800 --> 32:17.400 we would have voted for you, you'd be going to the National Dialogue. 32:17.400 --> 32:19.600 I was like, oh, okay, thank you, you know, like, whatever. 32:19.600 --> 32:24.400 So then that ended and I decided, well, you know, maybe I'll just bring it to the local level. 32:24.400 --> 32:25.900 This is how ignorant I was. 32:25.900 --> 32:32.200 So I actually filled out all the paperwork and I talked to my mentor and I got like a political adviser 32:32.200 --> 32:35.200 and I said, you know what, I'm going to run for the mayor of the city of Houston. 32:35.400 --> 32:37.240 They have a lot of power in the state of Texas. 32:37.240 --> 32:41.240 The mayor because it's the largest city in Texas. 32:41.240 --> 32:44.920 So I filled out all the paperwork and I sent it to the state. 32:44.920 --> 32:47.160 You know, ignorant, I'm ignorant to this. 32:47.160 --> 32:51.240 You were supposed to send it to the county, you know, the Harris County or the city of Houston, 32:51.960 --> 32:52.600 the town hall. 32:53.400 --> 33:00.040 And I mean, I don't know, somebody in the state called because nobody knew like but three people. 33:00.500 --> 33:04.500 All of a sudden, I'm sitting at lunchtime with the council member. 33:04.500 --> 33:05.500 She's sitting in front of me. 33:05.500 --> 33:06.500 She gets a phone call. 33:06.500 --> 33:07.500 She goes, what? 33:07.500 --> 33:08.500 No, no way. 33:08.500 --> 33:09.500 He's sitting right here in front of me. 33:09.500 --> 33:10.500 And I'm like, what? 33:10.500 --> 33:11.500 What is she talking about? 33:11.500 --> 33:13.100 She goes, are you running for mayor of Houston? 33:13.100 --> 33:14.340 I was like, yeah. 33:14.340 --> 33:15.700 She was so not happy. 33:15.700 --> 33:17.260 Why didn't you tell me? 33:17.260 --> 33:20.340 I can't believe you would backstab me like this and blah, blah, blah. 33:20.340 --> 33:21.540 And it became this whole thing. 33:21.540 --> 33:24.340 Well, anyways, I was like, well, I'm running anyways. 33:24.340 --> 33:24.840 So then... 33:25.300 --> 33:28.820 There was a black guy, I forget his name, I should have looked him up, and I knew for 33:28.820 --> 33:32.980 a fact that he was pro-sodomite, and this is the reason I've come back to this. 33:32.980 --> 33:35.740 Not only that, it was rumored that he was a sodomite himself. 33:36.100 --> 33:40.100 And he was, no, no, this is back in, this is for the district. 33:40.100 --> 33:42.100 I mean, for the mayor back in 2012. 33:42.100 --> 33:45.100 Not Sylvester Turner. He was a lawyer that didn't win. 33:45.100 --> 33:48.100 But Sylvester was, I think, also. 33:48.100 --> 33:51.100 But long story short, I called Pastor Riggles, 33:51.100 --> 33:53.100 if you don't know who Pastor Riggles is, 33:53.100 --> 33:58.100 when Anise Parker made the edict that all the pastors needed to turn in their sermons 33:58.100 --> 34:02.100 to make sure that they weren't preaching anti-queer rhetoric. 34:02.100 --> 34:04.100 Who remembers that? Who's been here long enough in Houston? 34:04.100 --> 34:06.100 Remember that? It was a big story. 34:06.100 --> 34:10.100 And she's like, oh, we're going to audit all the pastors and their preaching. 34:10.100 --> 34:13.100 He was like pro, supposedly the Bible. 34:13.100 --> 34:16.100 He runs, or I don't know, he was older then so he might be retired. 34:16.100 --> 34:18.100 Grace Baptist right off the Beltway. 34:18.100 --> 34:22.100 It's that big church off the Beltway in 45. 34:22.100 --> 34:26.100 And I called him directly and I said, hey, I know you're backing this guy. 34:26.600 --> 34:32.040 But let me tell you, I am a Christian. I've been in the belly of the beast. 34:32.040 --> 34:39.080 I'm anti-Sodomites. I believe the Bible. I spouse all the biblical values. All of this. 34:40.280 --> 34:47.560 Like on the phone directly. But he goes, well, we're already backing the other guy. 34:48.300 --> 34:49.460 I was like, yeah, wait a minute. 34:49.460 --> 34:50.820 That doesn't jive. 34:50.820 --> 34:52.820 Like, does it make, you know, I'm young and I'm brash. 34:52.820 --> 34:54.460 I'm like, that doesn't even make any sense. 34:54.460 --> 34:55.820 You can change your opinion. 34:55.820 --> 34:57.380 Like, we're not even in the primaries yet. 34:57.380 --> 34:58.780 We're not even in the voting. 34:58.780 --> 35:01.100 They're like, no, we'll see how this guy works out. 35:01.100 --> 35:02.800 And then if it doesn't work out, we'll call you. 35:03.200 --> 35:12.600 Long story short, the Lord obviously blessed talking about, you know, this morning about how, you know, sometimes that I was a little disappointed because I really just wanted to make a change in the city of Houston. 35:12.600 --> 35:20.680 I love Houston. It's a great city. I mean, that was my political career when like, you know, and that was it. I made my two filings. 35:20.680 --> 35:28.320 I think you have to do some filing and, you know, tell them you're no longer running, pay the fees or whatever. And then that was it. It was over. 35:28.900 --> 35:31.780 But you know why they didn't want me in the political office? 35:31.780 --> 35:34.420 Because I was espousing the right. 35:35.000 --> 35:39.560 the right things from the Bible. And I thought to myself, you know, I wish I would have had the 35:39.560 --> 35:46.680 political support of biblical men like Christian men, pastors, and people that are attending church 35:46.680 --> 35:51.960 that are saying, hey, we want people like that in office, right? I'm not disappointed, you know, 35:51.960 --> 35:56.280 life has taken me in the direction that it needed to take me. But hey, if this young man can make a 35:56.280 --> 36:00.600 change, even if it's just to slow it down, why wouldn't we support them, right? 36:01.100 --> 36:06.000 Why wouldn't we say, hey, we need more people like that in office, especially if you're a Republican? 36:06.000 --> 36:08.500 Because aren't Republicans supposed to be for the Bible? 36:08.500 --> 36:12.000 You know, they're not like, they call them RINOs, right? 36:12.000 --> 36:13.600 Republican in name only. 36:13.600 --> 36:18.000 And so we don't want that. But anyways, and the reason I say this is because at that time it wasn't happening. 36:18.000 --> 36:22.000 But right now, there's a tide. There's a, right here, there's a... 36:50.600 --> 36:56.020 I don't ever remember going through a confusion stage of like, you know, I didn't even go 36:56.020 --> 36:57.340 through the yucky stage. 36:57.340 --> 37:01.220 Remember like how some kids between the ages of three and six go through like, ooh, girls 37:01.220 --> 37:02.820 have cooties and they're yucky? 37:02.820 --> 37:04.540 No, I thought girls were great all my life. 37:05.000 --> 37:11.200 Love my wife to this day my mom will tell you I had girlfriends all the way through the time when I got married 37:11.200 --> 37:15.640 Like I was three years old and I thought women were great. I was four years old. I thought women great 37:15.640 --> 37:18.040 I was five years old six seven eight 37:18.040 --> 37:22.160 I mean I was buying flowers for girls when I was six or seven eight years old 37:22.160 --> 37:27.620 I was trying to ask women out. I mean, I don't ever remember being like well, maybe I'm something else 37:27.620 --> 37:32.320 It was like that's a lie from devil right? It just doesn't exist 37:33.200 --> 37:37.520 But what I like here is on June 7th, and I've only got three points for you today, this is, 37:37.520 --> 37:40.640 and I want to really make this the main thing. 37:40.640 --> 37:45.520 On June 7th he says, I'm officially, so then he posted another thing, 37:45.520 --> 37:52.320 he said I'm officially calling for a strict statewide ban on all pornography sites in Connecticut. 37:52.320 --> 37:56.440 Children of all ages are being targeted and ensnared by this addictive content 37:56.440 --> 37:58.560 which has led many into a reprobate mind. 37:58.700 --> 38:11.900 Not only will I vote for a strict and highly regulated ban on pornography, but I'm also calling for every creator and distributor of such degenerate material to face a minimum sentence of 20 years in prison for their crimes against the children and humanity. 38:11.900 --> 38:21.100 And you know what? Immediately, he was condemned. Not by the Democrats, by both parties. 38:21.100 --> 38:23.000 I mean 38:23.000 --> 38:28.200 You would think Republicans wouldn't want pornography, but by the fact that they condemned them, 38:28.200 --> 38:30.320 just shows you where their heart really is, right? 38:30.320 --> 38:32.320 The Bible says out of the abundance of the heart. 38:32.500 --> 38:36.980 the mouth speak it. That's why I couldn't trust a Republican as far as I could throw him, you know. 38:36.980 --> 38:43.620 I mean, I don't care if his name's Greg Abbott or Paul Betancourt or Dan Patrick. To me, they're all 38:43.620 --> 38:48.020 the same. They're all full of crap. You know, they, they, that's a, I mean, don't get me started 38:48.020 --> 38:52.020 because I actually dealt with them. Ted Cruz, don't even get me started on Ted Cruz. 38:52.300 --> 38:56.100 Because I actually met the guy, and his wife, and his dad. 38:56.100 --> 38:58.180 Anyways, that's a whole other thing. 38:58.180 --> 39:01.300 But point number one, here's the reason why we need to make 39:01.300 --> 39:02.420 America straight again. 39:02.420 --> 39:06.060 Because we need to uncrook, I guess. 39:06.060 --> 39:07.220 I don't know if that's actually a word. 39:07.220 --> 39:10.860 But point number one, a crooked culture 39:10.860 --> 39:13.460 needs a straight path. 39:13.460 --> 39:15.900 Now the Bible does tell us that what God makes crooked, no 39:15.900 --> 39:17.140 man can make uncrooked. 39:17.400 --> 39:21.960 So the only one that can actually straighten anything out is the Lord Jesus Christ. 39:21.960 --> 39:25.240 You know, we're going to look at that. Go over to Psalm, I'm sorry, 39:26.200 --> 39:34.600 go over to Isaiah 50, go Isaiah 5, sorry, go to Isaiah 5. But, you know, I did just a real quick 39:34.600 --> 39:40.120 grok. I said, hey, tell me more about this America straight and make America straight again slogan. 39:40.800 --> 39:43.280 And, or is it still relevant today? 39:43.280 --> 39:47.200 And it's like, yeah, it's still around as a niche slogan. 39:47.600 --> 39:51.280 Now, of course, you got to remember that this is all bias because it's still 39:51.280 --> 39:53.000 controlled by the media, right? 39:53.000 --> 39:55.840 Which tells me that it's probably bigger than it's leading to it. 39:56.200 --> 40:00.480 But I didn't know make America straight is often abbreviated MASSA and it's a 40:00.480 --> 40:03.240 deliberate riff on America make, make America great again. 40:03.700 --> 40:10.740 And it pops mainly in conservative, traditional, Christian, or anti-woke circles as pushback against the LGBTQ, 40:10.740 --> 40:15.380 visibility, pride events, gender, all this stuff that I just discussed, right? 40:15.380 --> 40:20.500 And I, but I didn't realize that you could go online like buy hats and shirts and mugs. 40:20.500 --> 40:27.060 There's actually a song from 2024 called Make America Great Again. 40:27.400 --> 40:31.960 And then of course there's sermons and pastors. We know who our pastors are talking about, the new IFB. 40:32.840 --> 40:35.480 Really? Or ex-new IFB that used to preach this stuff. 40:36.760 --> 40:41.320 Because they're the only ones that are actually preaching it. And of course it's used in memes 40:41.880 --> 40:47.480 and then it mentions the event. It says older examples like 2019 Florida pastors conference. 40:48.040 --> 40:51.240 But the vibe lives on in smaller revivalist or cultural war contexts. 40:51.900 --> 40:54.620 I said it's provocative by design. 40:54.620 --> 40:57.300 Some see it as defending traditional norms and family. 40:57.300 --> 41:01.740 Structured biology critics call it fomohobic or regressive. 41:01.740 --> 41:05.580 Usage is mostly ironic, edgy online, or among people tired 41:05.580 --> 41:08.140 of rapid culture changes or sex and gender. 41:08.140 --> 41:11.380 Not a huge national movement, but it hasn't died out. 41:11.380 --> 41:14.020 Like many counter slogans, it thrives in polarized times. 41:14.020 --> 41:15.420 But it's not true. 41:15.420 --> 41:16.700 The culture is changing. 41:16.700 --> 41:19.460 People are sick and tired of this. 41:19.600 --> 41:23.600 agenda being just constantly just shoved in their throats. 41:23.600 --> 41:27.200 So much so that when was the last time you actually saw 41:27.200 --> 41:31.200 a gay pride slogan on Facebook or on Google 41:31.200 --> 41:34.920 or on X? You haven't because they know they're going to lose money 41:34.920 --> 41:38.760 because people are pulling their advertising dollars away from 41:38.760 --> 41:42.800 this rhetoric because they're sick and tired of it because it's gross, right? 41:42.800 --> 41:46.800 But here's the thing, if we let off the gas, if we just let off 41:47.500 --> 41:50.700 the paddle, like if we just let off the momentum, 41:50.700 --> 41:51.640 we're gonna lose it. 41:51.640 --> 41:54.620 Momentum, in business I was taught a long time ago, 41:54.620 --> 41:56.740 momentum is fickle. 41:56.740 --> 41:58.660 Just like you get it, it goes. 41:58.660 --> 42:00.340 So when you get it, you gotta get it, 42:00.340 --> 42:02.820 you gotta get as much as you can. 42:02.820 --> 42:04.780 You just gotta keep getting it and keep getting it. 42:04.780 --> 42:08.420 Don't give up, don't relent, just keep fighting, 42:08.420 --> 42:10.520 and you know, it'll start to make a change. 42:10.520 --> 42:13.260 But here's the problem, most people will give up. 42:14.200 --> 42:17.720 It really that's the reality of life, but it's not just this movement 42:18.280 --> 42:21.640 Anything in life most people are starters, but never finishers 42:22.120 --> 42:26.040 But bible says that jesus christ is the author and finisher of our faith 42:26.280 --> 42:31.720 So we need to have a finisher mentality. We need to fight to the very end against this agenda, right? 42:31.720 --> 42:38.280 Let's go to isaiah 5 right there verse 18. The bible says well unto them to draw iniquity with quor- quarts of vanity 42:39.240 --> 42:41.240 And sin as it were with a cart rope 42:41.400 --> 42:47.000 They say, let him make speed and hasten his work that we may see it, 42:47.000 --> 42:51.400 and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come that we may know it. 42:51.400 --> 42:54.600 Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil. 42:56.700 --> 43:00.860 Put darkness for light and light for darkness that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter 43:01.100 --> 43:03.580 well into them that are wise in their own eyes and 43:04.020 --> 43:10.780 Prudent in their own side well one to them that are mighty to drink wine and of men of strength to mingle strong drink 43:10.780 --> 43:12.780 Which justify the wicked for reward? 43:13.220 --> 43:15.940 They take away the righteousness of the righteous 43:16.740 --> 43:21.540 From him. I like it's interesting right they take they justify the wicked for what? 43:22.100 --> 43:29.220 for reward. It's all about money, power, fame, fortune. That's why they justify this crap. 43:30.740 --> 43:36.900 Therefore, as the fire devoureth the stubble and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their roots 43:36.900 --> 43:41.060 shall be as rotten as and their blossoms shall go up as dust because they have cast away the 43:41.060 --> 43:44.700 the law of the Lord of hosts, despite the word of the Holy One of Israel. 43:46.100 --> 43:49.780 You don't have to turn there, but go to Isaiah 40, but in Proverbs 14 verse 12, 43:49.780 --> 43:55.220 it says, there's a way which seeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 43:55.220 --> 44:00.100 And by the way, this is a lot of basically like repeat, but you know what? We need repeat. 44:00.100 --> 44:04.580 As a matter of fact, even the title, I was like, man, sometimes you try to come up with 44:04.580 --> 44:08.100 these snazzy titles. And I was like, you know what? Even if somebody's used it, 44:08.900 --> 44:10.980 nobody has a copyright on the fact, on truth. 44:11.400 --> 44:13.200 Right, all we do is repeat stuff. 44:13.200 --> 44:16.060 I'm just going to use the title because it's the best way to describe what's going on in 44:16.060 --> 44:17.060 America right now. 44:17.060 --> 44:18.560 You know what I'm saying? 44:18.560 --> 44:24.120 Ecclesiastes 7 verse 11, the Bible says, wisdom is good with inheritance and by it there's 44:24.120 --> 44:26.240 profit to them that see the sun. 44:26.600 --> 44:32.840 For wisdom is the defense and money is the defense, but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom giveth life to them that have it 44:33.240 --> 44:37.000 Consider the work of god for who can make straight 44:37.640 --> 44:43.160 Which he hath made crooked the bible says hey you're gonna you gotta consider the work of god 44:43.560 --> 44:48.040 Hey, you gotta put some effort into figuring out what's going on in the culture 44:48.680 --> 44:52.700 Right, and you gotta look at it and then say look if this is crooked 44:53.900 --> 44:58.380 And God looks like God did that, what makes you think that you're going to fix it? 44:59.340 --> 45:03.340 It's that you know all these Baptist churches and these contemporary churches 45:03.340 --> 45:09.580 and these religious movements that are like, hey, let's go proselyze to the Jews who hate Jesus Christ. 45:10.380 --> 45:12.460 What? It doesn't even make any sense. 45:12.460 --> 45:17.180 Oh hey, let's proselyze to the queers because you know God is love. 45:18.000 --> 45:22.080 Wait a second. God is love but he's also hate like we got to figure this thing out 45:22.720 --> 45:25.840 Does he really love them? No god so loved the world 45:26.720 --> 45:30.480 That he died for them, but if they rejected him, you know what? He's already rejected them 45:31.280 --> 45:36.900 Like what are we doing here? Isaiah 40 verse 3 the bible says the voice of him that cries in the wilderness 45:37.660 --> 45:39.660 Prepare ye the way of the lord 45:40.240 --> 45:43.540 Make straight in the desert a highway for our god 45:45.700 --> 45:49.140 Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low 45:49.140 --> 45:52.800 and the crooked shall be made straight and the rough places plain. 45:53.100 --> 45:56.620 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the 45:56.620 --> 45:57.820 mouth of the Lord hath spoken." 45:57.820 --> 45:59.700 And of course, it's talking about John the Baptist. 45:59.700 --> 46:00.700 We'll see this. 46:00.700 --> 46:01.700 Go to Matthew 3. 46:01.700 --> 46:07.380 You know what I see here when he says, hey, prepare the way, cry in the wilderness, is 46:07.380 --> 46:09.540 we preach the entire word, right? 46:09.540 --> 46:10.540 Not just the gospel. 46:10.540 --> 46:14.520 It says, you know, repent for the gospel, for the kingdom of God is at hand. 46:14.520 --> 46:19.540 But also, when Jesus left, you know, the Great Commission, he said, hey, we need to preach. 46:19.540 --> 46:21.100 You're going to baptize them in the... 46:21.100 --> 46:24.420 the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, but we also need to teach everything 46:24.420 --> 46:25.420 that's written in the book. 46:25.420 --> 46:29.120 You know, and of course I'm paraphrasing, but He wants us to talk about everything. 46:29.120 --> 46:32.840 The way we prepare the way is by actually preparing the way. 46:32.840 --> 46:36.940 It's not just, hey this, you know I talked about it this morning, but it's not just like 46:36.940 --> 46:39.140 this little veiled gospel track. 46:39.500 --> 46:43.680 But it's actually confronting people about the reality of what is going on. 46:43.680 --> 46:48.260 Look, when you get on a queer agenda, you're getting on an anti-God agenda. 46:48.260 --> 46:50.060 But it's not just that you're anti-God. 46:50.060 --> 46:53.440 You're actually saying, hey, I agree with the haters of God, 46:53.440 --> 46:57.240 with those that despise God, with those that don't want to deal with God, 46:57.240 --> 47:00.260 and they hate everything about you and your family. 47:01.740 --> 47:05.100 They want to destroy your family. They want to destroy your kids. 47:05.500 --> 47:10.940 I mean, I can't even begin to mention just how often on Facebook somebody will post about 47:10.940 --> 47:15.220 these queer couples that adopt children just to abuse them. 47:15.220 --> 47:16.420 It's sick. 47:16.420 --> 47:17.720 It's child abuse. 47:17.720 --> 47:18.940 They should be put to death. 47:21.300 --> 47:27.220 I mean, every parent at some point in their life has made a mistake and bumped their kid's head, 47:27.220 --> 47:35.540 or the kid fell, or my son at one point ate a couple of batteries. He's fine. We went to the 47:35.540 --> 47:40.260 hospital. Everything was great. Everything was great. He pooped it out. It was awesome. 47:41.060 --> 47:44.900 But I remember you have this pain. 47:45.500 --> 47:52.300 and this concern and this love like it's not like you just you uh you have joy to see them in pain 47:52.300 --> 47:59.500 i don't understand how anybody could uh actively you know with pre-meditation just abuse 48:00.220 --> 48:06.060 an innocent child the weakest of the weak i mean i don't even like sometimes you bump into a 48:06.060 --> 48:09.500 child you just feel really who feels worse the child or the adult 48:09.900 --> 48:15.180 Any normal adult feels horrible for bumping into a child even if the child was wrong right because they're children 48:15.280 --> 48:19.640 We love the children like we love them to protect them not to abuse them 48:19.640 --> 48:21.880 But you know just because the world is a weird place 48:21.880 --> 48:25.700 But in Matthew 3 right there in verse 1 the Bible says in those days came John the Baptist 48:26.100 --> 48:30.500 Preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying repent ye for the kingdom of God is at hand 48:30.980 --> 48:35.540 For this is he that was spoken off by the prophet Isaiah saying the voice of one crying in the wilderness 48:36.340 --> 48:40.460 Prepare you the way of the Lord make his paths straight 48:41.260 --> 48:45.340 That he's the Lord expects us to already be on a straight and narrow 48:46.500 --> 48:52.320 Right. He wants us to be preaching the right things not the things that are convenient the smooth things 48:53.600 --> 48:55.980 Luke 3 it also mentions that but go to Romans 1 48:56.800 --> 48:58.800 right point number 2 and 48:59.000 --> 49:04.060 These are the the the long arms or the arms of the LGBTQ then I'll close 49:04.320 --> 49:08.260 With I'm just giving you three points here that I see this that why our country 49:08.760 --> 49:15.580 Thinks the way that it does it promotes what it does is the first one is the crooked cultural arm of the LGBTQ 49:16.360 --> 49:18.360 Whatever. I don't know how many letters they have anymore 49:19.100 --> 49:23.340 At the end of the day, you know, I like I like what my pastor friends say 49:23.940 --> 49:30.460 LGBT LGBT stands for let God burn them and the cue is for let God burn them quickly, you know 49:30.460 --> 49:33.020 So I think that works out pretty good 49:33.260 --> 49:40.320 But in Romans 1 verse 18 says for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men 49:40.460 --> 49:42.580 Who hold the truth in? 49:43.580 --> 49:46.200 Unrighteousness so you know what they're doing. They hold the truth 49:47.500 --> 49:54.220 but to twist it. They'll be like, hey we believe your Bible, but the Bible says that you know 49:55.660 --> 50:03.100 little children love adults just like adults love children. You know that's by the way if you don't 50:03.100 --> 50:09.340 believe that that's real there's an association called NAMBLA. I won't even or whatever it is 50:09.900 --> 50:13.020 and it's a gross association that tries to convince you of that stupidity. 50:14.100 --> 50:20.500 Right because they hold it in truth. I mean but they hold the truth but in unrighteousness because that which may be known of god 50:20.500 --> 50:26.660 Is manifest in them for god has showed it unto them for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly 50:26.660 --> 50:33.140 Seen being understood by the things that are made even as eternal power and godhead so that they are without excuse 50:33.300 --> 50:35.300 Hey, they don't have an excuse 50:35.860 --> 50:40.120 They don't deserve your sympathy your pity. They had their chance 50:41.600 --> 50:49.440 Actually from the reading it sounds like they had more opportunity than just your regular Joe blow loss guy 50:50.320 --> 50:56.060 Right, they're lost and they're ignorant. It's up to us to go knock on their door and be like hey, but by the way 50:56.060 --> 50:58.060 Did you know you're going to hell? 50:59.680 --> 51:01.480 But these guys 51:01.480 --> 51:09.000 These individuals these beasts as the Bible says they've been given the opportunity and they're like no. Thank you. We don't want it 51:10.900 --> 51:19.460 Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 51:19.460 --> 51:32.020 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, into birds, and four-footed beasts, and creepy things. 51:32.400 --> 51:38.300 Wherefore God also gave them up to unclean this through the lust of their own hearts to dishonor their own bodies between themselves 51:38.300 --> 51:43.640 You know how like whenever I see this it just it's like people say oh the Bible is not relevant 51:45.600 --> 51:50.740 Just go down to these like liberal parks, you know go down to Memorial like at the peak hour 51:51.840 --> 51:53.840 number one you're gonna see all these 51:53.920 --> 51:55.300 queers and 51:55.600 --> 52:03.700 Lesbos running around being seen of everybody but then the worst part is you'll see them like literally pushing little dogs in their strollers 52:04.200 --> 52:10.380 You know $500 strollers and they're calling them their fur babies. I mean I literally saw a post of 52:11.260 --> 52:15.400 Someone that said happy fur daddy's day on 52:16.840 --> 52:21.960 Father's day. I I'm not even kidding you and someone I personally know and I was like 52:22.600 --> 52:27.000 How delusional do you have to be? It's like an insult to parents. 52:27.500 --> 52:31.660 to compare a dog to my child, because my child is way better than a dog. 52:31.660 --> 52:34.380 It's a human being. It has rationale. 52:34.380 --> 52:36.780 It can reciprocate. It can learn. 52:36.780 --> 52:39.820 You know, a dog can learn like a few commands, 52:39.820 --> 52:43.900 and then it's still going to poop, and it's still going to lick all its weird places. 52:43.900 --> 52:45.740 It's still going to go back to its vomit. 52:45.740 --> 52:47.340 It doesn't matter how much you say, 52:47.340 --> 52:52.300 no, no, Fido, don't lick there. Yeah, Fido really cares, right? 52:52.300 --> 52:54.460 Like, Fido's going to do whatever Fido's going to do. 52:55.000 --> 53:00.200 But you know, if you tell a child, all children do weird stuff, and you know, like, hey, don't 53:00.200 --> 53:01.880 poke your nose anymore. 53:01.880 --> 53:04.160 You know, don't do the things that kids do, right? 53:04.160 --> 53:07.600 Don't be like running around and picking gross stuff off the floor. 53:07.600 --> 53:08.600 You know what? 53:08.600 --> 53:09.600 They'll learn. 53:09.600 --> 53:11.920 And if they don't learn, you can just spank them, and you guess what? 53:11.920 --> 53:13.760 They're going to learn, right? 53:13.760 --> 53:15.640 But they're not dogs. 53:15.640 --> 53:18.120 It just makes me, pisses me off is what it does. 53:18.500 --> 53:24.020 who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the creature more than creator who's blessed forever 53:24.020 --> 53:30.660 Amen for this cause God gave them up to vile affections for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature 53:31.060 --> 53:35.780 And likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another 53:36.340 --> 53:37.300 men 53:37.300 --> 53:43.140 With men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error, which was meat 53:43.220 --> 53:46.340 It said hey that was right for them to receive that because it's 53:46.500 --> 53:47.000 Gross. 53:47.400 --> 53:52.920 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to 53:52.920 --> 53:55.960 a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient. 53:55.960 --> 54:03.160 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full 54:03.160 --> 54:10.520 of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whispers, backbiteers, haters of God, despicable, 54:10.520 --> 54:15.400 proud boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding 54:15.400 --> 54:20.800 understanding, covenant breakers, without natural flexion, implacable, unmerciful, and 54:20.800 --> 54:22.540 then this is the scary part, right? 54:22.540 --> 54:27.600 Who knowing the judgment of God, the day which commits such things are worthy of death, not 54:27.600 --> 54:33.200 only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. 54:33.200 --> 54:35.360 And by the way, you know, people mock God. 54:38.500 --> 54:47.000 These individuals will go to these parades and they'll dress in whatever, you know, we've come to, you know, recognize as like a garbs of Jesus. 54:47.000 --> 54:55.000 And they'll tell you all kinds of weird things and they'll, you know, blaspheme the name of God and they'll do it in front of your children. 54:56.500 --> 55:02.000 And they'll just defile their minds. That's why we're real careful where we go. I don't want my children being exposed to that. 55:02.000 --> 55:04.500 Because once it's in your mind, it's hard to get out. 55:05.000 --> 55:10.920 Right? Like unfortunately whatever I've seen in my life that messed me up, like it's with me forever and you know 55:11.160 --> 55:14.800 The Lord is gracious and he helps you forget certain things 55:14.800 --> 55:19.160 but every once in a while the devil is real good at helping you bring that back up and 55:20.100 --> 55:24.640 You know, why would I want my children to do that? That's hateful, right? 55:25.340 --> 55:28.120 I mean you think about it remember in the 80s when AIDS 55:29.000 --> 55:35.400 was discovered. You know, now I am dating myself, but I remember one of the things that was really 55:35.400 --> 55:41.400 scary about it was as these queer men were finding out they had this deadly disease that had no cure. 55:41.960 --> 55:47.320 You know, it wasn't like they were like, oh, let's advocate to cure people. Let's make things better. 55:47.320 --> 55:50.760 You know what they were doing? They were just like, well, let's be with many more people and 55:50.760 --> 55:51.600 and infect them all. 55:52.200 --> 55:54.600 Because if I'm infected, let me infect them. 55:54.600 --> 55:55.880 I mean, that was the thing. 55:55.880 --> 56:00.280 They had to really crack down on it because these guys were so angry 56:00.280 --> 56:01.720 that they were going to die that they were like, 56:01.720 --> 56:04.560 I'll just take as many people with me as I can. 56:04.560 --> 56:08.040 And isn't that what the devil's doing today? 56:08.040 --> 56:09.640 You say, oh, you shouldn't talk like that. 56:09.640 --> 56:10.680 You can't even verify that. 56:10.680 --> 56:12.160 No, that happened. 56:12.160 --> 56:13.440 Like, that was a fact. 56:13.440 --> 56:16.520 I mean, there was literally news articles of people being 56:16.520 --> 56:17.680 indicted for that stuff. 56:18.000 --> 56:22.880 Leviticus 18 22 we know the verses but that will not lie with mankind is with 56:22.880 --> 56:29.160 womankind it's an abomination and you say what is the culture war well the 56:29.160 --> 56:33.240 Bible is clear so the culture is telling you something else then obviously either 56:33.240 --> 56:38.480 God's right or they're right but the culture war would have you think that 56:38.480 --> 56:39.400 God is wrong 56:40.400 --> 56:44.720 If a man also lie with mankind as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. 56:44.720 --> 56:48.000 They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them." 56:48.000 --> 56:52.240 And by the way, you know that you can't say stuff like that because what they want you to do is think, 56:53.040 --> 56:57.920 you know, to the sitcoms of the 90s where they normalized 56:58.200 --> 57:03.660 Queered up to just be funny and cool.

We are in a desa place as dead men 01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:42.200 I mean in the book of Isaiah talks a lot about just how bad it can get right 01:00:43.080 --> 01:00:46.760 In proverbs 28 verse 4 the bible says they did forsake the law praise the wicked 01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:50.840 But such as keep the law contend with them evil men understand not judgment 01:00:51.080 --> 01:00:54.540 But they seek the lord they that seek the lord understand all things 01:00:56.800 --> 01:01:03.600 You know verse 5 tells you just how to discern people that may look like they're on our side, but they're not. 01:01:05.200 --> 01:01:10.240 If you don't know, don't worry about it, but there's this attack against one of our pastor 01:01:10.240 --> 01:01:13.840 friends and they keep making this documentary series called The Man of God. 01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:18.640 It's basically trying to point out how Pastor Anderson is this really bad guy for spanking 01:01:18.640 --> 01:01:22.000 his children and disciplining them and raising them. 01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:26.520 One of the things that I have not seen the movie, so I'm just going to go, but I believe 01:01:26.520 --> 01:01:27.800 it is that 01:01:27.800 --> 01:01:32.800 Like, basically the main premise is that a bunch of queers exposed how bad this man of 01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:35.320 God was, quote unquote. 01:01:35.320 --> 01:01:40.320 It's like, how can you say that you're a Christian, but you're saying that a bunch of queers are 01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:42.600 the ones that are doing the work of God? 01:01:42.600 --> 01:01:43.600 Right? 01:01:43.600 --> 01:01:50.280 Like, it doesn't, it's like saying, well, you know, I did a seance and I talked to the 01:01:50.280 --> 01:01:54.800 devil and he called me out on my sins, so I figured out that's why I changed my life. 01:01:55.300 --> 01:02:01.460 because satan was the one that you know just that what satan would first of all you know to see if 01:02:01.460 --> 01:02:06.020 it sounds stupid to say it right i sound like a like a weirdo up here just saying that but anyways 01:02:06.020 --> 01:02:14.020 let's go to point number three the crooked religious arm of the lgbtq right these are 01:02:14.020 --> 01:02:20.020 the things that we need to make straight so what do you mean by the religious uh arm 01:02:23.900 --> 01:02:28.700 And I don't know, I think I got some of these backwards, so I might have to come back to my pages. 01:02:28.700 --> 01:02:30.200 Yeah. 01:02:30.200 --> 01:02:30.700 But... 01:02:31.600 --> 01:02:34.720 If you go to Isaiah 30, right there in verse 8, the Bible says, 01:02:34.720 --> 01:02:40.560 Now go write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, 01:02:40.560 --> 01:02:45.920 and forever and ever, that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not 01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:50.720 hear the law of the Lord, which say to the seers, see not, and to the prophets, prophesy not unto 01:02:50.720 --> 01:02:57.520 us, write things, speak unto us, smooth things, prophesy deceits, get you out of the way, turn aside 01:02:57.520 --> 01:02:59.600 out of the path cause the Holy one of 01:02:59.600 --> 01:03:04.880 Israel to seize from before us. You know what is it saying? The Bible is telling us, hey, 01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:10.040 there's going to come a time where people just want to hear lies, right? And they just 01:03:10.040 --> 01:03:16.320 want to hear misdirection. And so they'll just believe anything. And you think about, 01:03:16.320 --> 01:03:22.080 I was, I have my note here actually because I was wrapping up. You know, you look at, 01:03:22.080 --> 01:03:22.920 I looked up like. 01:03:23.500 --> 01:03:27.960 Baptist churches that are pro LGBT and of course it there's all this ads 01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:33.640 But I thought it was interesting said top 10 most gay friendly churches in Houston 01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:38.660 I'm not gonna give you all 10 for the sake of time, but number three is Lakewood Church 01:03:39.700 --> 01:03:45.560 Which you know a lot of people will be I mean you can't even begin to imagine how many people who's running to someone 01:03:45.560 --> 01:03:51.060 Who's like oh, you know I'm a Christian and every Sunday.

You know he's like how come you didn't call my name out, right? 01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:02.780 Second Timothy 4 verse 2 the Bible tells us to preach the word 01:05:03.120 --> 01:05:10.000 Be instant in season out of season reprove rebuke exhort with all long-suffering doctrine for the time will come 01:05:10.700 --> 01:05:14.380 When they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts, 01:05:14.380 --> 01:05:17.900 shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears, 01:05:17.900 --> 01:05:20.540 then they shall turn away their ears from the truth, 01:05:20.540 --> 01:05:22.620 that they shall be turned unto fables." 01:05:22.620 --> 01:05:26.220 You know, the queer agenda is a fable. It doesn't exist. 01:05:26.220 --> 01:05:31.020 It's a fantasy that's made up in the wicked mind of naturally brute beasts. 01:05:32.060 --> 01:05:36.380 Just like the feminist agenda and every agenda, it's just their imagination. 01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:43.000 Because if they were honest and they were to stand before God Almighty, they couldn't hold a candle to that belief. 01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:47.000 Jeremiah 23 verse 1, the Bible says, 01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:54.000 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pastor, saith the Lord. 01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:57.000 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people. 01:05:57.000 --> 01:06:01.000 You have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not visited them. 01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:03.160 not visited them. Behold, I will visit you. 01:06:03.500 --> 01:06:07.580 Visit upon you the evil of your doings saith Lord for the sake of time 01:06:07.580 --> 01:06:12.160 I'm not gonna go through all of these because there's just so many I kind of overloaded just kind you that I might 01:06:12.260 --> 01:06:15.780 Be long-winded in some areas and I was like, let me just make sure we have enough 01:06:15.940 --> 01:06:18.100 There's there's there's a ton ton of scripture 01:06:18.100 --> 01:06:22.160 I mean I could just I haven't even touched on half of it point number four because I got two more for you 01:06:22.160 --> 01:06:25.460 And we'll close this thing out and I'll do it in the time allotted 01:06:26.100 --> 01:06:29.460 the crooked political arm of the LGBTQ. 01:06:29.460 --> 01:06:31.540 And this is really the one that kind of triggered it, 01:06:31.540 --> 01:06:33.380 but I just wanted to come back to it. 01:06:33.380 --> 01:06:35.860 And I just did some, you know, this is all, 01:06:35.860 --> 01:06:38.420 this is all like, you can do this research. 01:06:38.420 --> 01:06:39.060 It's easy. 01:06:39.780 --> 01:06:43.540 I wanted it to be like how many like current congressmen 01:06:43.540 --> 01:06:46.260 or, you know, obviously political officers 01:06:46.260 --> 01:06:48.340 in the Republican Party are pro-LGBT. 01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:53.760 So, you know, Google gave me this. It says, current Republican platforms and legislative 01:06:53.760 --> 01:06:58.000 stances regarding LGBTQ issues feature a complex 01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:06.320 Mix of intense state-level restrictions and sifting national party dynamics while conservative groups are heavily pushing measures 01:07:06.320 --> 01:07:11.060 to target transgender individuals and limit campus protections mainstream national efforts have 01:07:11.520 --> 01:07:17.140 Actively modernized to be more outwardly welcoming to gay conservatives, which is an oxymoron 01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:22.360 There's no such thing as you being conservative and being gay like it just it doesn't even 01:07:23.080 --> 01:07:24.400 jive right 01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:34.800 National Party platform endorsements at the national level, the Republican Party has evolved its messaging under the Trump era. 01:07:34.800 --> 01:07:47.800 The official party platform language removed traditional opposition to same-sex marriage and updated heavily praised by the conservative LGBTQ groups like... 01:07:47.800 --> 01:07:49.800 By the way, this name... 01:07:50.200 --> 01:07:54.280 just makes it, it's just so weird. The log cabin Republicans. 01:07:55.160 --> 01:07:58.360 Like, and you know, if you don't know who the log cabin Republicans are, 01:07:58.360 --> 01:08:05.080 it's literally the sub arm of the Republican Party for all the queers. It's weird. 01:08:06.680 --> 01:08:09.560 I thought we were like, I thought we were pro-bible. 01:08:10.760 --> 01:08:14.680 And by the way, I'm not a Republican. I'm just saying we like, if that's who they are, right? 01:08:18.500 --> 01:08:26.980 In contrast to the broader national approach, state level Republican parties remain deeply 01:08:26.980 --> 01:08:34.100 conservative but they only do it for the applause of man because they know that the rural towns, 01:08:34.100 --> 01:08:40.260 rural America is still against this stuff and so they've got to just play both sides of the coin. 01:08:41.780 --> 01:08:44.740 But if they were really honest, they're not, they're pro all of it. 01:08:47.100 --> 01:08:51.380 Many state parties such as the Texas GOP have official platforms that include 01:08:51.380 --> 01:08:58.060 characterizations of homosexuality as abnormal and calls the band trans teachers. 01:08:58.060 --> 01:09:00.860 You know, and it goes on and on here about the support. 01:09:00.860 --> 01:09:04.140 But basically, if you get down to the gist of it, you know what? 01:09:04.140 --> 01:09:06.900 The Republican Party is pro-queer. 01:09:06.900 --> 01:09:08.220 You shouldn't be a Republican. 01:09:08.220 --> 01:09:09.380 You shouldn't be a Democrat. 01:09:09.380 --> 01:09:10.780 You should be a Christian. 01:09:11.100 --> 01:09:13.700 You should believe the Bible and stand on God's word. 01:09:13.700 --> 01:09:17.900 And if there is a candidate like a Jaden McCormick, then we should stand with him. 01:09:18.900 --> 01:09:19.400 Right? 01:09:20.100 --> 01:09:22.100 Hey, I was with Ted Cruz when he won. 01:09:22.400 --> 01:09:23.500 He did grassroots. 01:09:23.500 --> 01:09:25.200 He was preaching all the right things. 01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:26.500 I was for him. 01:09:27.000 --> 01:09:30.800 And then he told me that, you know, the only reason he got into office was for the Jews. 01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:33.200 And I was just like, thanks a lot, bro. 01:09:33.500 --> 01:09:38.940 That's gross, right? But if it, I mean, I'm for doing it even if I'm not going to be the one to jump on it. 01:09:40.940 --> 01:09:43.980 You know, here's, here's a couple of weird things. 01:09:46.620 --> 01:09:50.700 That people don't call out. There's this guy, you know him, he's that mayor of Indiana. 01:09:51.260 --> 01:09:56.300 Buddha G. You can't make this stuff up, right? What's his name? Budi, Budi Gay, Budi Gay or Budi G or whatever. 01:09:56.780 --> 01:09:58.780 And he's going to run for president. 01:09:58.860 --> 01:10:00.300 And he's a queer. 01:10:00.500 --> 01:10:16.500 And here there's an article says former College Park Maryland Mayor Patrick Wojan is serving a 30 year prison sentence for the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material. 01:10:16.500 --> 01:10:26.500 Wojan previously described former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as his mentor after they were paired together in 2015's mayor race. 01:10:27.200 --> 01:10:32.200 And so here these articles are trying to say that it can't be Vera. 01:10:32.200 --> 01:10:34.200 It's true. 01:10:34.200 --> 01:10:36.200 They're all into it. 01:10:36.200 --> 01:10:41.200 Like no queer should ever be allowed to adopt children. 01:10:41.200 --> 01:10:42.200 That's gross. 01:10:46.600 --> 01:10:52.840 Here, there's a guy by running for the governor of Connecticut, and he put an important announcement 01:10:52.840 --> 01:10:58.360 if you live in the 50th State House District, because of this young guy. 01:10:58.360 --> 01:11:03.920 He said, former Pomfret First Selectman Tony Emilios petitioning to make it onto the August 01:11:03.920 --> 01:11:04.920 primary ballot. 01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:05.100 you 01:11:05.200 --> 01:11:10.080 He needs to garden around 230 signatures by end of day Tuesday and is nearly there. 01:11:10.080 --> 01:11:15.200 I'm asking registered Republicans in the 50th district to connect with the volunteers collecting 01:11:15.200 --> 01:11:21.040 signatures in the district on Monday. You know why they're on a rampage to do it? 01:11:21.040 --> 01:11:27.440 That they did it? Because now they're running a candidate against the other Republican candidate 01:11:27.440 --> 01:11:29.920 because the other candidate says that he's anti-queer. 01:11:32.200 --> 01:11:33.200 So which one is it? 01:11:38.900 --> 01:11:46.900 Go to John 19. I'll read for you really quick. Psalm 146 verse 3 says, 01:11:46.900 --> 01:11:50.900 Put your trust in princes, not in the son of man in whom there is no help. 01:11:50.900 --> 01:11:55.900 His breath goes forth, he returneth to the earth. In that very day his thoughts perish. 01:11:55.900 --> 01:11:58.900 Happy is the man that hath the God of Jacob for his help. 01:12:01.100 --> 01:12:10.060 whose hope is in the Lord his God. You know I use AI to help me outline my sermons. 01:12:10.400 --> 01:12:14.720 I have it trained. I'm not as advanced as other people. I have a project. I have a train. 01:12:14.720 --> 01:12:19.660 I'm like just give me just kind of like these basic outlines and the cross references and then I review obviously 01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:23.280 I'm still gonna go through I don't have it write a sermon or you mean 01:12:23.280 --> 01:12:26.940 But it just gives me a head start and then from there I it triggers ideas 01:12:26.940 --> 01:12:31.340 I'm like, oh that sermon reminds me and then I mean, I'm sorry that verse remind you and I like this verse better 01:12:31.500 --> 01:12:37.260 Well, that's a I don't like this point, but I gave it all like so all what I'll do is I'll prompt the the 01:12:38.300 --> 01:12:41.820 the chat before I do them what I'll do is I'll take a document and I'll write 01:12:41.820 --> 01:12:45.540 all the verses that I want and I'll prompt that like I'm thinking of these points 01:12:45.540 --> 01:12:46.900 help me word them better whatever 01:12:46.900 --> 01:12:51.340 I was preparing for this one and I said hey these are the points that I want the ones 01:12:51.340 --> 01:12:51.960 I'm giving you 01:12:51.960 --> 01:12:56.500 and I said I can help you write this sermon and I think it's a good sermon about sin 01:12:56.500 --> 01:13:00.700 and immorality and blah blah blah blah blah but I can't help you vilify 01:13:00.700 --> 01:13:05.140 a group a protected group of people protected group 01:13:05.600 --> 01:13:12.080 From what? They're the ones that are out there like as the lions seeking whom they can devour and destroy. 01:13:13.120 --> 01:13:16.880 That's the agenda we're living in. You know why we need to preach the word of God more often? 01:13:16.880 --> 01:13:21.680 Because all the tools that are out there from the devil eventually won't, they'll censor everything. 01:13:22.400 --> 01:13:24.400 We need to know the Word of God. 01:13:24.400 --> 01:13:26.400 We need to preach God's Word 01:13:26.400 --> 01:13:27.900 because one day I'll just... 01:13:27.900 --> 01:13:29.400 maybe I won't have AI anymore. 01:13:29.400 --> 01:13:31.900 Which is fine, you know, I just... I like it because it speeds it up. 01:13:31.900 --> 01:13:34.400 But, you know, I've been writing sermons without AI for a long time. 01:13:34.400 --> 01:13:35.900 It's not going to make a difference. 01:13:35.900 --> 01:13:38.900 But, you know, the next generation needs to know God's Word 01:13:38.900 --> 01:13:42.400 because eventually the AI will just tell you what it thinks you need to hear. 01:13:42.400 --> 01:13:45.400 And then it'll just twist and lie about God's Word. 01:13:46.700 --> 01:13:48.540 John 19 right there in verse 1 that says, 01:13:48.540 --> 01:13:51.100 then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him, 01:13:51.100 --> 01:13:53.420 and the soldiers plated a crown of thorns and put on his head, 01:13:53.420 --> 01:13:56.460 and they put on him a purple robe, and he said, 01:13:56.460 --> 01:13:58.380 and said, Hail, King of the Jews. 01:13:58.380 --> 01:14:00.860 And they smote him with their hands. 01:14:00.860 --> 01:14:03.260 Pilate therefore went forth again and said unto him, behold, 01:14:03.260 --> 01:14:06.860 I bring him forth to you that ye may know that I find no fault in him. 01:14:06.860 --> 01:14:07.460 Who's Pilate? 01:14:07.460 --> 01:14:09.420 He's the politician of the day, right? 01:14:09.420 --> 01:14:11.620 And the thing of point I'm trying to make here is that politicians are 01:14:11.620 --> 01:14:12.500 afraid of everything. 01:14:12.800 --> 01:14:15.800 You know, all they care about is just pleasing their constituents. 01:14:15.800 --> 01:14:17.300 Because it says in verse 5, it says, 01:14:17.300 --> 01:14:20.300 and then came Jesus forth wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, 01:14:20.300 --> 01:14:22.800 and Pilate said unto them, Behold the man. 01:14:23.100 --> 01:14:26.780 When the chief priests therefore and the officers saw him they cried out saying crucify him 01:14:27.320 --> 01:14:32.300 Crucify him Pallas say that didn't take he him and crucify him for I find no fault in him 01:14:32.500 --> 01:14:38.500 Then Jesus then the Jews answered him we have a law and by our law he ought to die because he made himself 01:14:38.500 --> 01:14:40.500 The son of God by the way the Jews hate this verse 01:14:41.100 --> 01:14:45.920 They're trying to take it out of the preaching. They're trying to actually ban it make it hate speech 01:14:46.900 --> 01:14:49.400 It went again into judgment on Satan to Jesus, 01:14:49.400 --> 01:14:50.240 whence art thou? 01:14:50.240 --> 01:14:51.360 But Jesus gave him no answer. 01:14:51.360 --> 01:14:54.120 Then Pilate said unto him, speaketh thou now, 01:14:54.120 --> 01:14:57.200 thou now not unto me, knowest thou not 01:14:57.200 --> 01:14:59.000 that I have power to crucify thee 01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:01.080 and have power to release thee? 01:15:01.080 --> 01:15:03.520 If you notice Pilate here, he's a little nervous. 01:15:03.520 --> 01:15:04.840 He's trying to get this thing, 01:15:04.840 --> 01:15:06.720 like he's trying to exonerate the man, 01:15:06.720 --> 01:15:08.700 but he's afraid of the people. 01:15:08.700 --> 01:15:10.280 Because the people are his vote 01:15:10.280 --> 01:15:12.880 and his way of livelihood, 01:15:12.880 --> 01:15:14.300 he just does what the people say. 01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:20.120 You know, the preachers need to stop preaching with their pocketbook, you know, or with their 01:15:20.120 --> 01:15:23.560 influence, they just need to preach the word of God. 01:15:23.560 --> 01:15:28.600 You know, one of the things I appreciate about Sprintcrest is that we're so small that I've 01:15:28.600 --> 01:15:30.400 never taken a paycheck. 01:15:30.400 --> 01:15:36.440 Now, you know, on occasion I'll take a conference trip and the church helps out where it can, 01:15:36.440 --> 01:15:38.640 But for the most part, I just, you know. 01:15:39.100 --> 01:15:41.940 I don't take a salary of Pastor Cobb for as long as I've known him. 01:15:41.940 --> 01:15:44.100 He has the tiniest salary in the world. 01:15:44.100 --> 01:15:46.060 Like, it's kind of a joke. 01:15:46.060 --> 01:15:46.980 Right? 01:15:46.980 --> 01:15:50.020 But what it does is that I'm just preaching the word of God. 01:15:51.400 --> 01:15:55.000 God willing, if that ever comes to the case, I don't care anyways. 01:15:55.000 --> 01:15:59.400 I should never care, but I don't care because, well it doesn't matter. 01:15:59.400 --> 01:16:05.720 I'm not preaching to you because I'm getting paid well, or because this building is really nice and I own it, my name is on it. 01:16:05.720 --> 01:16:08.680 None of that. I'm just preaching because it's the Word of God. 01:16:08.680 --> 01:16:12.760 And the last point, and then I'll close out with this. 01:16:12.760 --> 01:16:17.160 The straight paths prepare the way for the Lord. We already saw those verses. 01:16:17.500 --> 01:16:19.900 But I just wanted to, you know, if you look... 01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:32.040 It's interesting here that all of this, like if we look, one thing that really stood out is the 01:16:32.040 --> 01:16:37.080 Bible repeatedly connects the word straight with what? God's way. 01:16:37.800 --> 01:16:41.720 It's not being straight like my sexuality. 01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:47.240 It's not being straight like what I think is the right way to do business or the right way to conduct myself. 01:16:47.240 --> 01:16:52.920 It's being straight because I conduct myself according to God's ways, not my way, right? 01:16:52.920 --> 01:16:57.160 This morning we talked about how if we want to get comfort in life, it's because of God. 01:16:57.160 --> 01:17:02.120 Well, the same thing if we want to have boldness in life, it's God's way, not our way. 01:17:02.600 --> 01:17:07.080 You know this young man, I mean when I was 23 I was definitely not doing that. 01:17:07.080 --> 01:17:10.600 Praise the Lord that there's young people that are willing to stand up. 01:17:11.400 --> 01:17:16.680 That are willing to say the right things, fight the right fights, and do the right things. 01:17:16.680 --> 01:17:20.360 Is he going to do it perfect? Absolutely not. But is he doing it? 01:17:20.920 --> 01:17:22.920 Yeah and I'm going to back anybody who's doing it. 01:17:23.500 --> 01:17:30.620 I'm not going to back these limp-wristed, yellow, no-good-for-nothing individuals who 01:17:30.620 --> 01:17:33.420 just want to toe the party line instead of God's line. 01:17:33.420 --> 01:17:34.420 You know what? 01:17:34.420 --> 01:17:38.980 I went through all of these, but just as a way, if we were to go to Matthew 3, we've 01:17:38.980 --> 01:17:39.980 touched on that. 01:17:39.980 --> 01:17:41.340 It says, make his path straight. 01:17:41.340 --> 01:17:45.620 Isaiah 40, make straight in the desert a highway for God. 01:17:45.620 --> 01:17:48.060 And he says, in the crooked shall be made straight. 01:17:48.060 --> 01:17:49.500 in Proverbs 3. 01:17:49.700 --> 01:17:53.700 Verse 6 it says, in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. 01:17:53.700 --> 01:17:57.300 In Hebrews 12-13 it says, and make straight paths for your feet, 01:17:57.300 --> 01:18:00.500 lest that which is lame be turned out of the way, but let it rather be 01:18:01.220 --> 01:18:07.460 healed. You know, it constantly just telling you like get it right. If you go to Acts 01:18:08.740 --> 01:18:15.380 2 verse 15 it says that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God without rebuke in the midst. 01:18:15.900 --> 01:18:22.900 of a crooked and perverse nation among whom you shine as lights in the world. 01:18:22.900 --> 01:18:26.900 How do you shine? By not being crooked, not being perverse. 01:18:26.900 --> 01:18:31.900 Look, anybody who's backing crooked and perversion is not going to shine. 01:18:31.900 --> 01:18:35.900 And unfortunately it comes from what? It comes from culture, right? 01:18:35.900 --> 01:18:39.900 The mainstream media. It comes from religion. 01:18:39.900 --> 01:18:42.900 It can be people that look like us and sound like us, but they're not us. 01:18:43.500 --> 01:18:47.980 It could also be from other false religions or it could just be from obviously politics 01:18:48.460 --> 01:18:52.300 And we need to pay attention to those three arms because those are the arms that the devil is going to use 01:18:52.780 --> 01:18:55.740 And we just need to be like well, I don't even want to be involved in any of that 01:18:56.460 --> 01:19:00.780 Because honestly, we're not religious. We want to follow the bible people say. Oh, I don't like talking about religion 01:19:00.780 --> 01:19:02.780 I'll be like neither do I 01:19:02.860 --> 01:19:08.300 Unless it's from the pulpit and i'm calling them out what I like talking about is god's word, right? And so 01:19:08.900 --> 01:19:12.900 In conclusion, what's the conclusion is that we need to make America straight again. 01:19:12.900 --> 01:19:16.900 Right? If America was righteous and we had a righteous government, 01:19:16.900 --> 01:19:22.900 you know, they take all the queers, stone them, and then we wouldn't have any left. 01:19:22.900 --> 01:19:25.900 I've always said, I remember when I was younger, I would always say, 01:19:25.900 --> 01:19:30.900 hey, you know, let's try and experiment. If queers are so great, and I'll just close out with this, 01:19:30.900 --> 01:19:35.900 why don't we take all the male queers and just put them on an island 01:19:35.900 --> 01:19:36.500 video. 01:19:36.900 --> 01:19:36.500 This is your host, Dan. 01:19:37.000 --> 01:19:40.520 and then just come back in 10 years and just see how many more queers there are. 01:19:41.480 --> 01:19:45.000 Right? And we'll take the same, we'll take all the Lesbos and we'll put them in another island 01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:48.360 and we'll just come back in 10 years and be like, how many are there? You know, 01:19:49.560 --> 01:19:55.160 Brother Heath did it. Big fat zero. They can't because it's not natural. 01:19:55.600 --> 01:19:58.100 They wouldn't be able to do it. 01:19:58.100 --> 01:20:02.120 They have to steal your children, they have to abuse your children, they have to recruit 01:20:02.120 --> 01:20:05.640 your children, but they can't reproduce their own children. 01:20:05.640 --> 01:20:07.640 So let's close in on a word of prayer. 01:20:07.640 --> 01:20:09.740 Heavenly Father, Lord, thank you so much for today. 01:20:09.740 --> 01:20:11.320 Thank you for your blessings. 01:20:11.320 --> 01:20:12.600 Thank you for the Word of God. 01:20:12.600 --> 01:20:15.000 Thank you, Lord, that you are teaching us to... 01:20:15.500 --> 01:20:19.500 follow the straight paths and to avoid the crooked and perverse ways. 01:20:19.500 --> 01:20:23.740 Lord I just pray that you would continue to bless this young man but also 01:20:23.740 --> 01:20:27.140 anybody who's standing on the Word of God.
