It's a great honor and privilege to be here with you guys, and what a magnificent sanctuary.
Praise God for this building, and, you know, I see a lot of familiar faces, and I've seen some new faces,
but where are those 600 sodomites?
You know, it's nice to be on the winning side, amen.
It seems like I feel like I'm an Old Testament Israelite where once a year I get to make
my pilgrimage to Jerusalem here and what I really love about Verdi Baptist Church is
how it just gets better every year somehow.
It's just so amazing, this pulpit's amazing.
This building is incredible, a lot of potential.
And thank you so much to Pastor Aminez and his family
for hosting this.
Thank you so much to all the staff
who really do a lot of work here.
It's obvious, all the volunteers.
And in fact, of course, the Verity Church family,
thank you for hosting such an incredible conference.
testimony because so many people travel
all over to come here to hear the preaching and to experience
and in many ways a life-changing conference.
And I just wanted to give an idea. Who is not from Verity Baptist Church
but is here tonight? Look at that. Look at that.
Wow, you know and and that tells me that you know maybe if you're already here
If you're part of Verity Baptist Church, it may be hard to realize how good you really have it here. I
Mean, this is an amazing church. You have an amazing pastor amazing people here
If you live anywhere in this area, you got to be in Verity Baptist Church Sunday morning Sunday night Wednesday night
And, you know, if you have Verity Baptist Church, I'm going to do a quick visit to my last year's sermon.
Don't complain. All right?
But tonight I'm not preaching that at all. So, I want to look at verse number nine.
The Bible says this, the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous, all together.
Now, the Bible says here in verse nine at the beginning, the fear of the Lord is clean.
Of course, cleanliness is a multifaceted word.
I would argue that what the Bible is primarily talking about here is a morally uncontaminated,
a pure, an innocent definition here of clean, and a spiritual context.
That the fear of the Lord is going to produce a morally pure cleanliness.
It's going to purify you, it's going to cleanse you.
Not only should we concern ourselves with the spiritual, sometimes we also need to concern ourselves with the physical.
And they actually work together in unison. Go if you would to Matthew chapter 23 for just a moment. Go to Matthew chapter number 23.
And I want to look at another verse here. Of course the spiritual is what we have to prioritize. It's what we put first.
But God doesn't only care about the spiritual. He also cares about the physical.
In Matthew 23, I want to look at verse number 26, the Bible says cleanse first that which
is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Of course the Pharisees weren't even saved.
So, they were so concerned with following the commandments and holding to their traditions,
even above the commandments, but they weren't even saved.
They didn't even have salvation.
They didn't even have the basics, and so Christ wanted them to first just get saved,
which is a picture here of cleansing that which is on the inside,
getting right with God in their heart, getting saved,
and working on the spiritual condition of themselves.
If you do that, if you do cleanse yourself spiritually in this way,
he also wants something else in this latter portion,
that the outside of them may be clean also.
So God also cares about the outside, it's just not the first thing, it's a later thing.
Now, I want you to go, if you want, to Deuteronomy 23.
Now, before I kind of get into my sermon and even give you the title,
I want to say, first of all, I love all of you, okay?
I'm not mad at anybody.
I'm very glad that you're here.
And a lot of times what I try to do when I come and visit is I preach a sermon where
I kind of think, like, what would I really want my church to hear, like, what are issues
going on over there?
But this year, it's not like that. It's not really pointed any person. It's not pointed any individual.
Of course, if you ask me after the sermon, you say, was this sermon about me? I will say yes, but
But, you know, the motivation for my sermon came from another place and the title of my sermon is this, gross people.
Gross people.
And I'll tell you where the motivation came. It did come from Texas.
It came from a little place called Walmart, all right?
Now, I don't know if this was you or not, but about 10 years ago, there used to be this
thing, especially before social media was so big, where people would send these email
chains, and they would forward these emails, and I was on one of these chains, and you
would get these emails called Walmartians.
Who knows what I'm talking about?
All right, I see that hand.
God bless the hand.
All right.
Walmart is where people would take pictures of the weirdest things at Walmart
and they would like email them out and show everybody.
Well, I went to Walmart this week and it was gross.
It was just gross.
And it's just sad that our nation has become so gross.
I saw someone else posting online.
They said, I can't stand the fact that when I go to Walmart,
I feel like I've been imported into a third world country.
And here's the thing, I don't hate people in third world countries,
but I don't want to live there.
I don't want to be like that.
And you know, as God's people, we don't want to become Walmartians, okay?
We want to stay clean and we want to stay pleasant.
Now, to help you understand what I mean by gross, I looked it up in the dictionary and
I got a lot of synonyms here.
I want to read a lot of synonyms for you to give you an idea of what I'm talking about
when I say something that is gross.
Causing disgust, that is gross, extremely unpleasant, extremely fat and ugly.
Unseemly. Now those are all dictionary definitions. Here are synonyms. Defiled, unclean, abhorrent,
awful, sickening, crude, vomit-inducing. I was physically upset after going to Walmart.
I'm just being honest with you. It really kind of almost caused a gag reflex in me a little bit.
Unsettling, obscene, raunchy, scatological, sorry, we're going to explore that definition
tonight, so you probably don't want to eat.
Ugly.
uncouth, rank, stinking, foul, unpleasant, disgusting, nauseating, revolting, tainted, repulsive,
smelly, noisome, abominable, nasty, odious, vile.
That's what I'm talking about when I'm talking about something that's gross, and all of those
words applied this week.
Now I want to look at Deuteronomy chapter 23 and I want to show you that God cares about physical cleanliness look at verse 12
Thou shalt have a place also without the camp whether thou shalt go forth abroad and
Thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon and it shall be when thou will ease thyself abroad
Thou shalt dig therewith and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee
For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp to deliver thee and to give up thine enemies before thee
Therefore, shall thy camp be holy, that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee."
So according to the Bible, God wants to walk up and down the streets of the children of Israel,
and if he were to see an unclean thing, it could cause him to want to turn away.
And I felt like when I was in Walmart, God didn't want to walk through those aisles.
I feel like if God were to visit San Francisco today,
He wouldn't want to walk up and down those streets
because He wouldn't want to step in all the dung that they have on the streets.
And you know, it's sad that America is becoming so gross.
And you know why something is gross? Because it doesn't fear God.
The fear of the Lord is clean.
The more you understand God's commandments,
the more you care about what God thinks,
the more clean you're going to be spiritually and physically.
False religion produces gross people.
Now, I want to talk about three groups tonight.
Group number one are those who are temporarily gross.
They're temporarily gross,
meaning it's fixable.
All right? You can fix it.
So, if you find yourself in this group this evening, I'm not mad at you, I just want you
to fix it, okay?
But go through to Exodus chapter 29, go to Exodus 29.
What is something that's gross?
Well, something that's gross to me is something that smells bad.
And again, from a temporary perspective, what you need to do, take a shower, put on some
deodorant, clean yourself, wash yourself, use some soap.
Just do something, okay, and there's so many people today. They don't smell very good. Hey, you young single guys
You want to attract a young lady?
smell good
Don't smell bad. It's a big turnoff
Now I wouldn't I'm just gonna read this for you, but in song of Solomon
He says this, I rose up to open to my beloved and my hands dropped with myrrh and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh.
You know, they talk about it being a pleasant smell when they're into each other and that is something you should consider having a pleasant smell.
Here's another thing, Exodus chapter 29, look at verse 4, and Aaron and the sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of congregation and shalt wash them
with water. Now, I'm not going to go through all the Old Testament for you,
but the Old Testament is just filled with all kinds of different commandments
talking about the necessity of washing, okay? And even Jesus Christ said,
when thou fastest, anoint thy head and wash thy face.
Jesus Christ is telling you to wash yourself, to keep up with hygiene.
We have in the Old Testament a lot of practices that result around the ideas of hygiene and keeping yourself clean
False religions don't do this probably the worst. In fact, I'm just gonna say it the worst is Hindus
Hindus are gross and look I'm not mad at Indian people. I don't hate Indian people, but Hinduism is gross
Let me read for you from an article
Talking about a Hindu celebration
Dozens of exuberant villagers scooped up handfuls of cow dung
To mold and toss at each other like snowballs this week
For the Gaurabha festival, which is a local conclusion to India's most important festival Diwali
Should be called disgusting
They're they're playing in cow poo
That's gross
if you and
Hopefully you've never seen this, but if you've accidentally seen this it hurts it hurts the eyes it hurts the heart
Here's another title Indian Village marks end of Diwali with massive cow poo fight
It gets worse in his article
It says this, members of Mr. Modi's party have touted the use of cow urine to prevent and cure COVID-19.
That almost makes the vaccine sound good.
And I'm not recommending the vaccine, okay? Don't get it.
It says this, his government is also looking to encourage the production
of toothpaste, shampoos, mosquito repellents from bovine waste.
Ugh!
Brother, ugh!
What's this? What's this, my brother?
It's like, are you kidding me?
Toothpaste from cow dung?
Like, how disgusting of a religion can you possibly have?
It's filthy!
This is like the devil mocking these people and ridiculing these people and making these people look dumb on purpose
It's gross
Not only that
But if God obviously saw that he would walk away
But you know sometimes even just you open the door in an apartment and that curry smell hits you
And I'm just going to be honest with you, I want to walk away.
And look, I'm not mad at Indian people, but I'm just telling you, it makes me not want
to stand there and give them the gospel, because it's gross.
It smells bad.
In fact, there's an article on BuzzFeed that says this, quote, you smell like curry.
We don't want the customers to complain.
Therefore this person did not get the job interview.
They were saying, well, I don't even know what curry smells like.
It smells like you.
Now, I found, just so you don't get mad at me, oh, that's your opinion.
Well, I got an opinion from an Indian, okay?
So, I just found somebody online who was talking about it.
He says this, Indian food is smelly, amen.
It is not because I eat American food or any other food. I could go home and eat Indian food with all the spices you could name.
However, I apply deodorant, which many Indian people do not, and even if they did, they would use the quote spray on deodorant
instead of the normal rolling deodorant, which evaporates in a couple hours, and BOOM!
Worst smell you could think of.
That was an Indian.
Telling you his opinion. I just happen to agree with it
He says this eating food stuff with spices is no excuse for that smell
To come out at work and distract other people or stink up any place you go quote being aware is
What matters and many people Indians and others just plainly lack
So this guy says you know what the problem is no one's is telling them that they stink
Well, here you go. You stink
Now look, it's a temporary situation that you can fix and you know, it doesn't matter if you eat other kinds of food
If you don't bathe it smells bad. You know, I know that go to Six Flags
Go to any amusement park at during the summer and stand in line
And you'll recognize a lot of those people did not shower for a long time
It smells bad even if you're eating chicken wings. You can still smell bad, okay?
It's not necessarily the food and that was the guy's point
The guy's point was if you're eating a lot of spicy and exotic foods and you don't shower
It's just gonna be even that much worse
So you should be careful and you should make sure to what bathe yourself wash yourself have hygiene so you don't stink
Because when you're gross it affects how people treat you
It makes things unpleasant. People don't want to be around you. Go to 1st Peter chapter 3, go to 1st Peter chapter 3.
Now again, this is not my opinion. I just simply went online and I said, what is the worst smelling country?
And the top article says 25 worst smelling countries in the world.
And I looked through the list and it was pretty much just name an African country.
And the way the list went is you kind of had to like click next every single time.
So I mean it's just like African country after African country after African country after African country after African country.
It took a while, it's 25.
So I'm at the last one.
I'm like, don't disappoint.
And I click, India, you win again.
It says this, waste and urine odors.
as well as the rich fragrances of spices and incense are common.
A traveler's description of India implied that, quote,
Indians lack a sense of cleanliness and hygiene.
Look, it's just pretty much an observable fact that India stinks.
And it's not because of Indians.
It's because of Hinduism.
It's because of false religion.
It's because they don't fear the God of the Bible.
It's because they worship cows literally.
It's because they just use the bathroom on the streets everywhere, and they don't cover it.
And so it just smells like filth.
And of course America can go the same way if we reject God, if we reject His commandments,
if we don't fear the Lord, but you know what? The fear of the Lord is clean.
And I would like to have a clean country.
I would like to have a clean church to go to.
I would like to have a clean family.
I would like to have a clean house to come home to.
And you know what these people need to do?
If they smell bad, take a bath.
You know, we Baptists, you get an extra benefit.
When you get baptized, you got a little cleaner.
Now that wasn't the goal of Baptism,
but notice what the Bible says, 1 Peter 3, verse 21.
The like figure wearing to even baptism to also now save us not the putting away of the fill of the flesh
But the answer of a good conscience toward God by the resurrection Jesus Christ
He's saying look the point of baptism wasn't to clean yourself. I'll be it. That's a good reason to get baptized
But the reason to get baptized is because you'd put your faith in Jesus Christ
You know what after you got saved a lot of you need to get baptized again to get the fill of the flesh off of you
To actually clean yourself up a little bit and actually smell good again
We need regular cleansing regular washing. We don't want to be the smelly church
You don't want to you don't want to sit. I mean if you sat down next to somebody and they smell bad you would move
You wouldn't want to do that. You would be complaining. It's not a good look
It doesn't it doesn't help anything and of course we need to make sure that we're not doing this go to 1st Samuel chapter 2
False religion produces gross behaviors which make for gross people.
The right religion, although it is the right religion, can still produce bad results, though,
with false prophets or people that simply disregard certain commandments.
And of course, being smelly is not the only thing that's gross.
There's a lot of gross things out there.
Now the one I'm going to bring up next is a little bit different, but it seems like a lot of old
IFB churches probably wouldn't like the next point that I'm going to make.
But you know what? There's something that's gross and I want to show you a few verses on this.
Look at first Samuel chapter 2 verse 29.
Wherefore, kiki at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation,
and honor as thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings
of Israel, my people."
Haphni and Phineas were false prophets.
They were sons of Belial.
And they would siphon off all of the sacrifices before they were supposed to be eaten.
They wouldn't allow all the fat to be cooked off of the meat.
And they were just consuming large portions of fat and meat.
And notice what the Bible says, they themselves became fat.
And in fact, it got so bad that the Bible says that the children of Israel abhorred the offering of the Lord.
It was just, it was just gross to them.
It was disgusting to them.
Of course, Hoffman and Phineas have a lot of problems.
Not just one here. Don't hear me wrong.
But being fat is one of them.
And it was a negative thing.
Now, look at chapter 3 for a second.
And look at verse 13.
The Bible also had said in 1 Samuel 4 about their father Eli, for he was an old man and
heavy.
So the father was heavy, the sons are making themselves fat.
The Bible says in 1 Samuel 3 verse 13, for I have told him that I will judge his house
forever for the iniquity which he knoweth, because his sons made themselves vile.
and he restrained them not.
Notice his sons were vile.
They were vile for being sons of Belial.
They were vile for laying with the women assembled at the door.
But let me explain this.
They were also vile because they were fat.
And that was just gross.
And they wouldn't burn the sacrifice.
People really disliked it.
And it's just not a good look, especially back then when food is not nearly as plenteous as it is today.
You know, for someone to have been gorging themselves in that specific manner would have been a rarity
offered only to the rich, elite, priests, and those type of things.
And so it just really made them feel bad because they're like looking at these men saying,
wow, they're just so self-indulgent, just feeding themselves while we don't have as much,
are starving in some cases perhaps or while we don't have this opportunity
and they're supposed to be serving God but they're just serving their own belly.
And you know being severely overweight, being severely obese
is a major problem in America. According to the National Institute of
Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases or the NIH
it says more than two in five adults have obesity.
It says 42.4% of America is experiencing obesity.
One in 11 adults have severe obesity.
It's almost 10% of our entire country.
And if you look at this from a historical perspective,
in 1975, only 13% of America was obese.
By 2016, it was 37 percent, and what I just read for you was it's now at 42 percent.
So it's been increasing steadily for a very long time.
Our nation has become more degenerate.
It's not fearing God as much anymore, and it's increasing fattening foods and the abundance
of idolists.
It sounds like the sins of Sodom.
What is severe obesity? It's where you have a body mass index of 40 or higher
It says that being a hundred pounds overweight for men or 80 pounds overweight for women
It's how it's defined and and here's the thing and why this is a
Not necessarily just something you shouldn't do but it's unhealthy for you because it poses a lot of risks
According to online it says risks from being overweight include type 2 diabetes
High blood pressure, fatty liver, heart disease, cancer, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, high cholesterol,
stroke, metabolic syndromes, breathing problems, depression, kidney disease, pregnancy issues,
gout, and joint pain.
And that's just a list of several, but it's maybe not even fully inclusive.
And, you know, I don't want people to suffer from those type of things.
If you read an interesting book, some will call it fiction, it's called The Elders of
the Protocols of Zion, there's a conspiracy to actually keep goi, or gentiles, weak by
having them be overweight and dependent physically and being soft.
Something that you wouldn't want to be seems like there's probably a negative consequence of that
But our culture doesn't you know while you can find that information our culture in large is kind of shying away from this topic
I feel like a lot of Baptist preachers are
Avoiding this topic because they're more concerned with biscuits and gravy
They're more concerned with preaching about red tops
With preaching about fried chicken and all the fixings and look Baptist know how to eat
You know why because bad does have great food. I mean if you've ever been to a Baptist, you know feast
You can eat a lot. I mean there's so much good food
Especially where I'm from in Texas where we make some of the best brisket. We have some of the greatest Tex-Mex
I mean the food in Texas is off the chain folks, okay?
It's amazing I
Get it, you know you go to in and out they have two items on the menu and 50% of them suck, but you know
So you don't know what it's like, but in Texas everything's good, okay? Even the fries
It's because they cook them, you know and put seasoning on them
Sorry for all you in and out guys. I know this is hard preaching
But our culture doesn't agree with this in fact they don't even like anything I just said
According to CNN, this is an article from CNN, it says fat shaming by doctors, family,
classmates is a global health problem.
So being overweight and obese is not a problem.
Telling people that they're obese, that's the problem.
That's CNN.
I wonder who runs CNN.
According to medical news today, it says effects of fat shaming on mental and physical
According to health line the harmful effects of fat shaming according to the NIH fat shaming is making people sicker and heavier I
Mean pretty much every article is just saying like don't tell anybody. This is bad
Go to Proverbs 23 of you would but you know Ecclesiastes says this is better to hear the rebuke of the wise
Then for a man to hear the song of fools
Our culture is praising plus-sized models today
But it's gross
And it's weird that we see so many severely obese women wearing almost no clothes.
It's like the spandex is holding on for dear life.
And you're just like, please stay on.
Please.
I mean, look, women dressing like whores is a big problem in America.
I mean, look, if you're severely obese, put some clothes on, please.
And look, when I was in Walmart, it was just so gross.
It was just, everyone there was just so smelly and just so obese and just disgusting.
And it just, it made me want to just vomit.
And I don't want to be, I don't want to go back to Walmart unless they fix it, okay?
You know, I don't think that you have to be an anorexic model like Kate Moss who you can't even see when she turns to the side, okay?
You don't you don't have to be these rail-thin Hollywood celebrities that don't eat and throw up on themselves
But you know being healthy is always what's the most attractive just being healthy. We should all strive to be healthy
That's what always looks the best, not being severely underweight or overweight, but trying
to find that balance of being healthy.
Women are supposed to have a healthy amount of fat on their body.
It helps them with their pregnancies.
It helps them in just every area of their life.
We don't want to have a weird, perverted mentality, but we also want to have the right
Idea from the scripture and the Bible does talk about this subject. Look at verse number 20 here
be not among winebibbers among riotous eaters of flesh for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty and
Drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags
Here's another downside of being severely overweight is it makes you lazy
It just makes you more slothful just makes you slower. It makes you more sedentary by nature
And that's just a negative thing, you know, the Bible says to redeem the time because the days are evil.
We need to be doing more for the Lord.
You know, and I hope to serve God even when I'm older.
You know, I am really encouraged to see, you know, the white hairs in here who are able to go out there and go soul-winning.
You know, what a great testimony to see people that are older and age still going out there preaching the gospel.
You know what, God bless them.
Unfortunately, you know, in Deuteronomy, the Bible talks about the stubborn, rebellious
son that he's a glutton, you know?
It makes you, you know, it talks about him being lazy, not working, not obeying.
I actually watched a video, and there's a lot of these, unfortunately, but I watched
a video about a man that was very severely overweight.
He weighed 540 pounds.
And he decided to lose the weight.
And here's another consequence of being so severely obese.
He lost over 300 pounds.
He dropped down to 230 pounds.
But then he had 13 pounds of excess skin on his body.
And it just looked gross.
And for a lot of those people, they're embarrassed about the excess skin too.
It's another negative consequence of having even gone down that particular road and getting
that surgery to remove that skin, which I would never fault someone for doing that.
I would do it, but it costs like $15,000.
And so there are consequences to disregarding these things and just being a riotous eater
of flesh and just becoming a glutton and it just spirals out of control.
No one wants to be 540 pounds.
It starts somewhere and what we should try to do is if we notice ourselves drifting,
we should try to bring ourselves back.
There was a point in time where I was very
dissatisfied with my weight as well because I was just programming and I worked for this company where they brought in every snack
You could think of for free just unlimited m&m's
Pretzels they're bringing in donuts. They're bringing in Einstein Brothers bagels
Which I'm a sucker for I like all of them especially with that almond butter. It sounds so good right now
But it's just like I mean if you're not doing anything and there's just treats in front of you all day
It's really easy to just eat and eat and eat and just you know
Never stop and eating is fun. I love eating. It tastes good
Of course, we live in America
I can see why in India. They're all skinny because I wouldn't it was just the food is terrible
It's like if you ever met a fat Indian it's like one of the rarest things ever, okay?
Go good to Proverbs 20, but I'm just I'm just trying to warn you that here's here's the reality
Well, I don't think we should just be mean to people
I don't think we should treat them badly and I still love people that you know are in these categories
I think it's still important to bring this up to try and help them to try and love them and encourage them to make a change a
Change that's positive for them and for their lives and the Bible was clear to not even be around those type of people
But when you get this way, you could become very lazy. Now you don't have to be fat to be lazy.
There's plenty of skinny people that are lazy too, but it's gross.
Look at Proverbs 20 verse 4, the sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold, therefore shall he beg and harvest and have nothing.
Go through to Ecclesiastes chapter number 10, Ecclesiastes chapter number 10.
You know, being lazy is something that
We can evidence when we go soul winning because we like to go soul winning in the receptive
areas and the receptive areas are poor and a lot of the poor people are poor because
they're lazy.
And so when you go out soul winning, you see the consequences of being lazy.
And I've seen all kinds of really weird stuff out soul winning.
I mean, steps are broken.
Trash just strewn all over, glass, needles, feces.
I remember walking up to a guy's house and he had so many beer cans,
it would have been hundreds if not thousands of beer cans,
just literally everywhere, all over the yard.
Mold, rot, bugs, decomposing food, animal droppings.
I remember going into someone's house, they invited me in.
I should have said no.
and I couldn't see the carpet.
I didn't know what I was stepping on.
I didn't really want to look hard enough,
but I didn't know what the carpet looked like.
And it was gross.
And it's like, how does that happen?
By being lazy, by being slothful,
and lazy people become very gross.
The SDS is chapter 10, look at verse 17.
Blessed art thou, land,
when thy king is the son of nobles
and thy princes eat and do season,
for strength and not for drunkenness by much slothfulness the building decayeth and through
Idleness of the hands the house dropeth through so notice
Connecting a couple dots here. We should be eating for strength
Not for pleasure because if you're just eating for pleasure
Well, you could become the glutton and the glutton then becomes very slothful and through much slothfulness
The house could even fall through and we see dwelling places
There are areas all over America that are falling apart
Decinerating and it's through much slothfulness through much laziness
And it's just gross. It's gross to go to cities.
It's gross to go to parts of the city that are falling through,
that have bugs, that have trash, that have litter,
that have the alcohol, that have the feces.
You know what? It's not a place you want to go
and you don't want to be around those people.
And unfortunately, it's why because they don't fear the Lord.
And if they feared the Lord, they would actually do some work
and they would do some work and they could clean up their area a little bit.
Go over to 2nd Thessalonians chapter 3. Who are the worst of this homeless people?
Let me explain something homeless people are gross
In America
You know, obviously I can't vouch for every other country in the world, but in America homeless people are gross people and
They're often
involved in all kinds of things. Drugs, alcohol, disease, filth, littering, they're unkempt,
they're hillbillies, they look grungy, they look hippy, they look back woods. It's gross!
And what does the Bible say in 2 Thessalonians 3 verse 10?
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work,
Want to know why there's so many homeless people in America because we keep feeding them
Stop feeding them
You're feeding the monster
You're making gross people
By giving them money by giving them drugs by giving them needles
You know, you should watch this documentary called San Francisco
Where this guy is screaming about
McDonald's or someone brought in a dead raccoon
There's some homeless guy killed or found a dead raccoon and literally brought it into the McDonald's as if McDonald's doesn't have enough
Problems they're bringing in dead raccoons and the guy's screaming about it
And it was gross. It was funny too, but
Gov would I see it 28, you know, we don't want to
contaminate all of our areas and cities with dead things.
The Bible talks about when you have dead things and you touch them,
you're supposed to wash, you're supposed to bury them,
we're supposed to keep them away from civilized people.
And unfortunately, because a lack of the fear of God again,
because people don't know the commandments, they have no understanding,
they do things that are gross, they do things that are disgusting,
like putting dead animals on the counter.
We're supposed to eat that's gross I
Looked at the Sacramento County's website, and they talked about the homeless problem in Sacramento
They said that there are currently or approximately
9,278 people living in Sacramento unhoused
Now that's
Like a specific night just average every night. That's how many people are out there. They see throughout a whole year
It's about 16 to 20,000 people. I
or, yeah, a half a million in population.
So it's around 1.7, almost two out of 100 people
are just living on the streets in this area,
which means you're gonna see them really quickly.
You're gonna see a lot of them all over.
I mean, right now in this room,
we probably have well over 400 people.
You know, based on those statistics,
we'd have about six homeless people.
And again, I'm not mad at someone that's homeless, but it's gross!
It's gross and those people are gross.
And look, I don't hate homeless people.
I went to an addiction and recovery center for over two years and preached to those people,
tried to give them the gospel, tried to tell them what the Bible says on a lot of issues.
I don't hate them.
I didn't hate them then.
But let me explain something.
They were gross.
You better believe I washed my hands and arms real good after I left that place.
You better believe I wouldn't have picked something off the floor and eaten it.
It was gross.
And it's sad. It's sad that people aren't telling them those things, that they aren't helping.
They're just giving them free meals, so they can perpetuate that.
And most of the time, why are they that way? Because they're drunkards.
It's usually because they're drunkards because they're addicted to alcohol.
And when people get addicted to alcohol, they become gross and they make everything gross around them.
Bars are the grossest places. Bars are disgusting.
They smell bad.
What does it say in Isaiah 28 verse 7?
But they also have air through wine and through strong drink are out of the way the priests and the prophet of air through strong drink
They are swallowed up of wine
They are out of the way through strong drink they air and vision they stumble in judgment for all tables are full of vomit and
Filthiness so there is no place clean
Now look everything I've said so far is temporary
Hey, if you're bathing in poo
Washing in water take a shower if you're not bathing take a shower
Just take a shower just that's the learn that point if you're severely obese, you know try to lose some weight
If you're lazy get to work. I didn't I don't want it for a second time
I'm not gonna really go in there, but you know smoking is also pretty gross
Quit smoking just
repent
But I also want to warn you go to Leviticus
Leviticus 19 that sometimes you can do things you can make a decision that is gonna give you a permanent grossness
Or it's going to give you a lifetime of grossness.
Now, praise God that we're going to get a new glorified body.
So even if you screw up this body, you get a brand new one later.
But you can do some things that will have a lifetime of grossness.
And one of those is tattoos.
Leviticus chapter 19, look at verse 28.
You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you, I am the Lord."
Another aspect of this cutting your flesh, you know, I think it's pretty similar and
of course, this may be not necessarily for the dead, but a lot of people in America are doing these weird gauge things,
where they're cutting holes in their ears and they're putting in these weird gauges or in their nose and they got all these tattoos and it's gross!
Face tattoos are gross!
And there's so many people online complaining about how people won't hire them because of all their face tattoos.
And a lot of times it's a face tattoo of Baphomet.
And it's like, you're shocked someone doesn't want to hire you?
When you have the devil on your face?
And look, that's permanent, folks.
People that get these sleeves on their arms, these sleeve tattoos, that's permanent.
Tattoos, by and large, are permanent.
It's virtually impossible to get rid of it.
And it's gross.
Tattoos are gross.
I've always thought they were gross,
and I never want any kid to ever get a tattoo.
Now here's the thing.
If you have a tattoo, I'm not mad at you.
In fact, I hope there's a lot of people in here with tattoos,
because that means we're reaching people.
You know, praise God that we actually have people in church with tattoos,
because it seems like the Calvinists, frozen chosen,
they're never reaching those people.
It seems like when you go to the old IVB, they're not reaching a lot of these type of people you go pretty much
It's like the non-denom, but they don't get anybody saved
Hey, I'm I'm glad that somebody that's tattoos came to church tonight, but you know what don't try to tell me it's not gross
And don't try to convince the youth that it's cool
Or look at this really awesome tattoo that I got you know, I'm gonna say it's gross
Don't get a tattoo
Don't print marks on your body. Don't get these weird earrings. The gage earrings, they look gay too, okay?
They look gross and faggity. Don't ever get one.
How about the tramp stamp? It's gross! You whore?
And you know what? Being a whore is also a permanent grossness.
It's like, hey, you're dating someone and then you have to admit, yeah, well, I have a tramp stamp and there's a reason it's gross
men want to marry virgins and
Women want to marry virgins too. You single guys
Being with other people is gross. It's defilement
Marriage is honorable and all and the bed undefiled but Hormongers and adulterers God will judge
It's gross. Our society promotes fornication and promotes hordom, but you know what? It's gross.
Stop promoting it.
Stop acting like it's so great.
Guys are like, oh, I slept with all these women. Gross!
Because you know what they're not telling you about all the STDs they caught.
Go to Deuteronomy 28 for a moment. Let me just read for you.
The Bible says about priests, they should not take a wife that is a whore or
profane.
Jeremiah 3 says, and it came to pass through the likeness of her Hordom that she defiled the land, meaning she made it gross.
Ezekiel 20, thus saith the Lord God, are you polluted
after the man of your fathers, and you commit Hordom after their abominations? Hordom pollutes the land.
You know, and it's not just a spiritual and a mental defilement that comes with Hortom.
It's also a physical defilement through STDs, STIs.
The Bible warns about things like this. Look at Deuteronomy 28 verse 27.
The Lord was smitely with a botch of Egypt and with the emirates.
I don't know exactly what that is, but a lot of people think it's hemorrhoids.
You don't want those things.
It could even be worse.
But notice this end with the scab and with the itch.
Notice this phrase,
whereof thou can't not be healed.
That's a lifetime.
Now you don't praise God
that in your new man,
even if you were a whore,
you're not a whore anymore.
In your new man,
if you're a whore monger,
if you're a guy
that committed a lot of fornication,
you're not in your new man.
And in your new glorified body,
you won't have all those STDs.
But let me tell you something,
there's a lot of STDs floating around out there.
How about Chlamydia? In 2022, there was 1.6 million new cases of Chlamydia.
That's many every year. Every year, 1.6 million people are walking to the doctor's office with Chlamydia.
Now, to most of us, we're like, I don't even know what that is, it just sounds bad.
But it says this, Chlamydia is one of the most common STDs.
And left untreated can cause infertility and pain in both men and women.
What is it? Pain or burning while peeing?
Abnormal discharge? I didn't want to know what that is.
Other ones, how about herpes? That's pretty common.
Here's what herpes causes. Itchy, painful blisters and sores.
And it's not on your arm.
swollen glands, fever, chills, aches, pussing, oozing.
It's gross.
How about gonorrhea, or the clap, or the drip?
In 2022, it says there was 648,000 cases of gonorrhea.
This causes pain or burning while peeing, abnormal discharge, itching, swelling.
And his chart was saying how many women, like the percentage of women that can track this.
And then it also had cities.
So the first one was New York City.
It said women.
It was about 20% of women in New York City.
It's one in five.
Of men, it says 10%.
But wait, no, it said men who have sex with women only.
Was 10% then it said men with men 68%
Now that's not a lifetime grossness, you know what that is that's eternal grossness
Go to 2nd Peter chapter 2
So I have three groups I want to talk to you about this evening number one is those that are temporary gross fix it
Those that are permanently gross for their lifetime their lifetime. They're gross
But you know what? If you're saved, that can be fixed.
But then there's some people that are eternally gross.
And that means that they'll always be gross.
And you know who that is? Sodomites.
The Bible says in Jude, it says likewise also,
these filthy dreamers defile the flesh.
2 Peter 2 verse 7 says this, and delivered just a lot, vexed with the filthy conversation
of the wicked.
You don't know what that filthiness is of the flesh, H-I-V, or AIDS, or gay-related
syndrome.
It used to be called grid, it was like immune disease, gay-related immune disease.
And they were like this is mean because you're like singling out gays. You know why? Because only fags get it
What is HIV?
Symptoms may include fever tiredness swollen lymph nodes night sweats joint and muscle aches diarrhea and a rash
When left untreated it can cause death
Death that's what these sodomites deserve
According to the CDC, men with men are disproportionately impacted by STIs.
Oh, that's a shock.
Says including gonorrhea and syphilis and co-infection with HIV.
So not only they have HIV, they've got all of it.
They've got the gonorrhea, they've got the syphilis, they've got the HIV.
In fact, like 36% of them have all of it.
Go to the Deuteronomy 22 where they're gross physically
And you know what even if the sodomites don't have STD's
They're still gross
Now I have to make a confession because I always hear this thing about West Coast is the best coast
But I have a chart and it kind of confirms that in another way all right
You might it's probably hard to see but this chart
The dark red shows you where all the people that have HIV live and the white is good, okay?
White is right in this argument.
And you know, there's, you can tell obviously San Francisco, it's like black almost.
But, and there's a few bad spots.
But I mean, look at Florida and Atlanta, just look at the East Coast.
That is like HIV land.
That is gross now. I'm not against anybody lives there. Okay. God bless you, but
Wow, that is gross
It's just gross that this map isn't just like all white
You know what fix this map Leviticus 2013
We can turn it all white. They talk about white nationalism. That's the kind of white nationalism I'm for
Turn the HIV map white
You know why fags are so gross
Well, according to a psychological article, it says straight men's
Physiological stress response to seeing two men kissing is the same as seeing maggots
But I don't think I don't think that that's true
Because you know what I saw maggots this week and I would way rather see maggots again
Now I'll be honest my impulse as soon as I saw maggots was to kill it
You burn it with fire
And that is the natural response of every God-fearing man when he sees faggots.
You want to make America great again? Make Leviticus 2013 law again.
Start there.
You're like, what about the Jews? How do you get rid of a lot of Jews, folks?
Seriously.
But look, fags, they're gross the way they dress.
They're gross the way they flopped their little hands.
It's gross!
It's gross how they crossed their legs like a girl.
It's gross with their little lisp.
You just want to slap it out of them.
What does Deuteronomy 22 verse 5 say?
The woman shall not wear that which pertains unto a man, neither shall a man put unto a
woman's garment, for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
Nothing is grosser than a dude in a dress.
These trannies are so gross!
And look, it's not just the California problem, my friend.
Go to Austin, Texas, and boy, will you see a bunch of hillbillies in a dress.
It's disgusting!
It's faggity, and it's fruity!
Burn it with fire!
Of course, the government should do this.
I already can't pay my legal bills.
Thanks, Pastor Minnis, for pointing that out.
That helped.
But you know, even false religion gets in on this faggoty, queer, tranny thing.
How about Islam?
With their disgusting little sorry.
Sorry you have to wear that dress, you faggot.
That's what those little dresses are.
And I'm thinking, like, you should throw yourself off the building in Minecraft, or they have
another term.
It's called the sarong.
It's wrong.
We got it.
Look, transvestites look like demon clowns.
They're so gross our country is becoming the most gross place in the world because these trannies and these faggots everywhere
How how can bad does not preach against it?
How come you have to come all the way out here in the wilderness to hear someone say the word faggot?
What's wrong with America? What's wrong with fundamental bad this today?
I mean how disgusting do faggots have to get free to preach against it?
Something like John Getch, let's roll the red carpet out for them.
Okay, well if it leads into a pit of fire, I'll do that.
If the red carpet leads them to a wall where we're going to line them up and put a bullet
in the back of their head, I'll roll out the red carpet for them.
I don't like that.
Well, I don't like that our government's not doing that.
I have a lot of jobs, I have a lot of work,
and I'm a very busy person.
But I will for free of charge,
execute every homosexual if they bring back Leviticus 2013
in Texas.
Hey, free public executioner.
I'll do it.
I have the stomach for it.
And if you see me smile, I don't, you know.
I was just thinking of a joke in my head, okay?
Look, we live in a country full of gross people.
There's a lot of gross things in this world.
Let us not be the gross people.
Let us be different.
Look, if you are bathing in poo, take a shower.
Take a bath, you know, work out, get to work, stop smoking.
If you've got a temporary grossness, just fix it.
If you got a lifetime, grossness, well, you know what, praise God you get a new body.
But do not encourage the kids to follow you in your actions.
Help your children to be virgin on their wedding night.
Help your children to realize that tattoos are gross.
Help them to realize that there's some decisions you can make in this life that you can't change.
Go into, if you want to, first Corinthians 6, this last place we'll have you turn.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.
And look, just stay away from those eternal, disgusting, gross people, those vile, reprobate
sodomites.
Praise God we have a fence, so it can truly be said, without our dogs.
The Bible says in Ephesians chapter 5, husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved
the church and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing
of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having
spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Of course, we want to make sure that we're striving to keep God's commandments.
God said be therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
The Bible says be holy.
But we also need to be holy, not just spiritually, not just mentally, but even physically.
We need to work on this.
First Corinthians 6, verse 19, what?
Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye
For you're bought with a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit
Which are gods?
We should not be a gross people
We should fear God and we should look at the fear of the Lord as being clean not just spiritually
But also physically
Let's close in prayer. Thank you, Heavenly Father so much for giving us such great commandments and being such a great God and being such a clean God
pray that if anybody in here feels like they have some grossness in their life
that you would just help them to fix that if they can't fix that that you would
just help remind them that there are new creation in Christ and that they're
going to body but that they wouldn't encourage others to follow in their bad
decisions and I pray that you would just help us to start a fire
to change the minds and hearts of those in this country,
to recognize the eternal grossness of so many people in this nation,
and to help us just rid ourselves of all this grossness,
and to help keep us away from all of this grossness.
And I pray that you would just bless the rest of this conference,
and in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
