Malachi chapter 2, the
Bible reads and now oh ye priests this commandment is for you if you will not
hear and if you will not lay it to heart to give glory unto my name sayeth the
Lord of hosts I only will even send a curse upon you and I will curse your
blessings yea I have cursed them already because you do not lay it to
heart behold I will corrupt your seed and spread dung upon your faces even
the dung of your solemn feasts and one shall take you away with it and he
shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you that my covenant
might be with Levi sayeth the Lord of hosts my covenant was with him of life
and peace and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me and
was afraid before my name the law of truth was in his mouth and
iniquity was not found in his lips he walked with me in peace and equity and
did turn away and did turn many away from iniquity for the priests lips
should keep knowledge and they should seek the law at his mouth for he is the
messenger of the Lord of hosts but ye are departed out of the way you have
caused many to stumble at the law you have corrupted the covenant of
Levi sayeth the Lord of hosts therefore have I also made you
contemptible and base before all the people according as he have not kept my
ways but have been partial in the law have we not all one father
hath not one God created us why do we deal treacherously every man against
his brother by profaning the covenant of our fathers
Judah hath dealt treacherously and an abomination is committed in Israel and
in Jerusalem for Judah hath profaned the holiness
of the Lord which he loved and hath married the daughter of a strange
God the Lord will cut off the man that
do with this the master and the scholar out of the tabernacles of Jacob
and him that offerth an offering unto the Lord of hosts
and this have you done again covering the altar of the Lord with tears with
weeping and with crying out insomuch that he regardeth not the
offering anymore or regardeth it with good will at your hand
yet ye say wherefore because the Lord hath been witnessed between thee and
the wife of thy youth against whom thou hast dealt treacherously
yet is she thy companion and the wife of thy covenant
it did not he make one yet had he the residue of the spirit
and wherefore one that he might seek a godly seed
therefore take heed to your spirit and let none deal treacherously against
the wife of his youth for the Lord the God of Israel saith
that he hateth putting away for one covereth violence with his
garment saith the Lord of hosts therefore take heed to your spirit
that ye deal not treacherously ye have wearied the Lord with your
words yet ye say wherein have we wearied him
when you say everyone that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord
and you delighteth in them or where is the God of judgment let's bow our
heads for a word of prayer father god we thank you for malachi
chapter two and i pray that you just enable pastor
shelly to go over this chapter to the best of
his ability with us and i pray also lord that you help us
to shine in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation we love you
and in jesus name i pray amen
amen so we're picking back up in our bible study on malachi
chapter number two and just as kind of a little bit of reminder
um the book of malachi kind of starts off
with a pretty clear negative message um if you just look at chapter one verse
one it says the burden of the word of lord to israel so
you have to understand the context of malachi is not really necessarily a
positive message god is definitely upset with israel
about a lot of different issues and in chapter one
um we talked about how they kind of just despised
the service of god they didn't really enjoy the things of god they weren't
offering their best sacrifices they were offering the lame
they're um kind of talking poorly about the lord
saying that serving the lord doesn't really benefit them
and it's contemptible and so you just kind of see there's a lot of
disdain towards the things of god the people
aren't taking the service of god very seriously
and in chapter two he transitions a little bit from just being broadly
about the children of israel to the priest specifically so he's
dialing it in and he's wanting to talk about the
leadership at that time which would be the priest
and he says in verse one and now oh ye priests
this commandment is for you so he gets really specific that this is talking
about the priesthood says in verse two if you
will not hear and if you will not lay it to heart
to give glory unto my name say the lord of hosts i will even send a curse
upon you and i will curse your blessings
yea i have cursed them already because you do not lay it to heart
now one thing that's you know you have to
understand is as a priest it doesn't really
matter what the country or the populace is doing
you as a priest are still supposed to give glory to god
and so you know you can see certain men struggle with this
you have like jeremiah jeremiah is a prophet and
he is supposed to honor god and preach the word of god but the people at that
time just don't want to i mean the people don't want to harken on
jeremiah they don't want to listen and you know it's not jeremiah's
fault for the people not responding to the
preaching but you know what would be jeremiah's
fault for him holding back on the preaching
and we see this as a common temptation of the priest
to kind of hold back on the preaching of god's word
to not deliver the message to not say what needs to be said
because of how people respond to it because of the culture that they're in
and ultimately what they're not doing is they're not giving glory unto god's
name now we could take a couple applications
of this number one according to the bible we're a royal
priesthood in the new testament so what that actually means is that we
are all priests in some capacity and i could see how
in our culture and in our today that there's very
few christians who are wanting to give glory unto god's name
because of the fact that it's not popular because of the fact that
there's uh it's kind of there's been a culture shift and being christian
is not necessarily as honorable as it's been
in the past it's not as popular as it's been in the past
there's maybe a little bit more persecution than there has been
and i'm talking about in the very recent past not necessarily all
throughout history of course there's been
times where persecution has been much more intense than
americans have ever felt okay but i'm just saying in general
in the 50s 60s and 70s you're probably not going to see as much
opposition for preaching the things of god as you may
today in 2023 america and so you can see that a lot of christians
may have a temptation not to give glory unto god not to praise his name
not to lift him up not to celebrate the things of god
for fear of being ostracized being ostracized at work being ostracized
by their family by their friends by telling people yeah i go to church
three times a week they might be afraid to even say that
why because they don't want to oh three times a week oh what are you
doing and they just but doesn't that give
some glory to god when you say like i go to church three times a week
and when you say you know what i do like reading the bible
or people say hey what do you think would be a good idea to do and it's like
well the bible says this it's like oh you always gotta bring up the bible
and it's like yeah because the best wisdom comes from the bible
well what do you think you should do in this situation well here's a sermon
from somebody i like oh you always like what's the bible
says or what a pastor says and it's like yeah
you know what do you want me to give you jordan peterson
what do you what do you need dr phil is that is that what you're kind of
looking for we're looking at joel osteen book i mean
you know what is it that you're looking for do you want a witch doctor
to do a seance for you i mean you know
sometimes i think christians are afraid of being christian
and they don't really want to give glory into god's name and that
makes god upset because you know he's not really expecting
today for joe biden to be giving glory to jesus
he's not expecting for all these unsaved
you know non-christians to be giving glory unto jesus name
but you know he does expect christians the royal priesthood
the chosen nation those of us that are actually saved
we are the ones that are supposed to be the ones giving him honor and
giving him glory and what does he say he says when the
priest won't do that what does he do to them
he curses them that's pretty extreme i mean on one side you think like well i
don't want to be embarrassed in front of my friends or
i don't want to be ostracized but it's like on one side it's a little bit of
potential shame from the world versus cursing from god it's like i
know which one i would prefer right i'd rather god be blessing me and
not be cursed of god and have the world not really like me
that much rather than having the world
still not like me just maybe make fun of me less
and then be cursed of god right i mean that's really
what's on the table that's the real equation that we're looking at i just
think a lot of christians kind of forget this
and i think this chapter it kind of is trying to peel back
uh our our the the film over our eyes
the the the dullness of our of our eyesight as to where we kind of just
have this view of like god's just pleased with everything i'm doing or
just pleased with me and starting to realize like you know what god's not
necessarily pleased with everything that i'm doing
god's not just automatically pleased with christians because they're christians
and you know let's take it a step further god's not just automatically
pleased with you because you're in the new ifb
or because you go to steadfast baptist church or
because you go soul winning you know just because you do some things right
doesn't just automatically make it to where god's just happy with
everything you're doing and delighting in you regularly you know
we have to we have to examine ourselves a little
bit more than just some on the on the surface
type things here and you know it notice that it says he's cursed them
because they do not lay it to heart well he's saying you need to be taking
your job seriously and you know ask yourself this
question do you take christianity seriously are you
taking your walk with god and your relationship
with the lord jesus christ and your job as an ambassador of christ are you
taking that seriously do you say you know what i do need to read my bible
today because i'm a christian because i'm a
representative of jesus christ and i need to remind it
what the bible says today you know are you taking
your opportunities in life to make sure that when you're presented with
the temptation of sin are you saying no to sin
or do you find yourself constantly giving in to the sins
that you are in habit you just i have these habitual sins and i just don't
even make i just no progress just you know just
same thing just every day just constantly lying the same times and
stealing the same times and doing things that i shouldn't do
you know we should take it serious and say you know what i need to improve
myself i need to work on this i need to make a difference right
taking church seriously taking soul winning seriously taking
every aspect of your christian life seriously taking being a husband
seriously taking being a father seriously taking
being a child seriously you know being a good child you know we need to take
it to heart and lay it to heart hey i'm a priest of god here
i have a i have a really important job and i need to take my christianity very
seriously and notice he's going to curse them
because they won't they won't take their job seriously
and they're not taking it to heart i mean isn't it frustrating to you
now in 2023 america when you go to any restaurant
and the they just basically don't even take their job seriously anymore
i mean customer service in this country it just
feels like no one cares anymore at all i mean you ask them a question they're
like i don't know i don't care or i'll get to you later or
now it's like cool for them to just basically blow off the customer
and think like the customers are bad or something like that
you work with other people and they're lazy on the job they're not taking
things seriously they they sell defective products to
the customer they take shortcuts they steal from
their employer they show up late they don't wear the
right dress code you know and that sloppiness doesn't
just irritate you but then it's like god is looking
down from heaven and looking at you being a sloppy christian
and he's saying like well how is it any different
when the guy at mcdonald's doesn't take his job seriously
and you as a christian aren't taking your job seriously
and how much more is it important for you to take your job seriously
than the guy at the fast food restaurant and i mean man
it would be like a miracle if you ever ordered fast food and they
actually got your order right it'd be a miracle if they got your
order right and quick like actually fast food it'd be a miracle if they got
your order right it was quick and it tasted good you know i mean
that trifecta is like out the window isn't it
and it seems like today people just aren't taking life
seriously they're not taking their job seriously they're not taking themselves
seriously and you know if there's anything to take serious it's
christianity we should take our christianity
seriously and we need to lay it to our heart
and and realize that it's not even just a
well i just want to take it seriously so i can get that extra award
it's like he's saying i'm going to curse you because you're not doing it
too you know god's pretty extreme and how he
deals with us it's like when you do right extreme
blessing and prosperity and favor and all this stuff and then it's like
when you don't it's like cursing and you know he's gonna
really attack that that area of your life that needs it i mean
when he talks about uh in john chapter 15
when you're not abiding in the vine i mean he talks about pruning or just
cutting you out i mean you know god deals pretty harshly
with his own people and it's a fearful thing to fall in the hands of a living
god i mean we shouldn't take god lightly and of course i'm preaching to
the choir a little bit on wednesday night but
you know what you need to be reminded of why you're even here
and you know maybe you're here just like you're like i don't even know why
i'm here like why did i come on wednesday
night well you know what you need to say like i'm here because i'm going to
take christianity serious because i'm laying it to heart that my
christianity is important it's important for god you say why is it
important to give glory unto him you know you shouldn't be here for
anyone other than jesus did you realize that like you say
well why do i have to go to steadfast baptist church you don't have
to go to step as baptist church but you need to go somewhere to glorify god
and i'll tell you what the pentecostal church down the street
that's five minutes from your house wasn't going to be glorifying god even
though you showed up okay so you got to go somewhere that's at
least going to be within god's delight and then within there you're not going
for the church or for the pastor or for someone your friend you should be
going for god and to give him glory you know why is it that we sing three
songs before we even get in the preaching
it's not because we're just training you to be a professional singer here
most of you won't cut it i'm just sorry but you know you know what you
know why we're singing we're singing to give glory to god and you know
you shouldn't just sit here and just
uh why am i here i wonder what the game's you know
it's game can i play chess right now you know it's
like look that's embarrassing if you're in
church and you're playing games on your phone
while you're in church like that's not laying it to heart
when you're not even taking church that seriously when you're not even
coming for the right reasons you know you're taking a nap look it's
not nearly as comfortable to nap here as it is at home
okay and i get it look i could fall asleep anywhere
all right and i've grown up i had family members that would sleep in
church almost every single time and i'm not talking about kids i'm
talking about grown adults okay it's embarrassing why why go to
church to take a nap folks you know and do you really think do
you really think that encourages the preacher
do you really think that you know brother brother aus when he finally gets
an opportunity to come here to preach and y'all are taking a nap while
he's preaching it's like that's not that's not cool
you know just don't even come if you're going to take a nap right
and look i get it some people have like really tough jobs they work
nights and whatever and it's going to be harder on those people and i'm
not i'm not trying to shame you for having a harder schedule but at the
same time it's like take christianity seriously though right
take your job seriously because you know if it was really important to you
you wouldn't nap if it was the world series or it was the super bowl
or whatever you're not going to be taking a nap during the middle of it
you're going to be laser locked in focus you know if you
have to have a snack or whatever you have to go jump in an ice cold
shower whatever you have to do like you would do it
just to enjoy that experience right and so you know
we should take that same kind of care and earnest for the church for
the things of god and you never know when it'll be an
exciting you know church service or not sometimes it isn't sometimes it's
really fun right you know you didn't know if this
sermon is going to turn into a prop sermon with dung here in the next verse
spread in people's faces no i'm just kidding
my wife says like i don't know if i like props but this one would be an
interesting one you know look at verse three it says
behold i will corrupt your seed and spread dung upon your faces
even the dung of your solemn feast and one
shall take you away with it now that's a pretty extreme example that god's
metaphor that god's kind of using here obviously it's not literal in the
sense that god wasn't literally spreading dung in anybody's face
but he's trying to use this metaphor to give you an idea
of how upset he is and i mean imagine imagine how degrading it would be
imagine how humiliating it would be for your boss to walk in
at you at work and literally just pick up feces
and just smear it on your face and say this is how i feel about your work
today this is what i think about your
effort on the job like that would be pretty embarrassing
that would be pretty humiliating for your boss to literally spread dung on
your face but you know what that's what he's
saying about these priests of the old testament and he's saying you guys
what you're doing is in my opinion equivalent to just spreading dung in
someone's face and he's saying i'm going to corrupt
your seed that's an extreme punishment he's saying
like not only am i going to curse you your
children are going to suffer as a result of this too
and you know sometimes we don't realize that by us not serving god or taking
christianity seriously we're not hurting just ourselves we're
also in many cases hurting our children as well
and by you taking church lightly it could cause your children to take the
things of god lightly and unfortunately in many cases your
children will sometimes even go a little bit more extreme
than you were you know you do things in moderation
they'll do things in extremity so you take church lightly then they
may go to joel osteen's church or just not even go to church
in the future just because you just weren't very serious you weren't very
zealous and let's face it folks most of the
time when you read about people in the bible
the sons often zeal is a little bit lower than their dads
and in many cases you know especially if it wasn't even someone that was that
great the sons can be really bad you know
you look at david david zeal and then solomon
you know solomon at first kind of starts out hot but like he kind of
ends pretty rough and you could kind of see how it
seems like the zeal kind of knocked down a little bit
but then look at where it goes from solomon to ray of bowen
like whoa that's a big jump and then you kind of have like
a reciprocating situation in the kings of juda where it's just kind of like
kind of good bad kind of good bad and this is kind of like alternates
but you know you don't really even see that
many people or hardly anybody having the zeal of
david again do you i mean you don't really see that king of david or
or even a solomon later down the line you have a couple guys that do
pretty good i mean you have hezekiah and you have josiah and they
they do some right but even they are kind of a mixed bag
even they have their issues and their shortcomings and their and their
failings and it just kind of seems like a
consistent theme you know you have moses
great joshua did pretty good but then after that it's just like
you know gideon and then his sons it's like you know just kind of like
this wave and so it's really important if you want your children to actually
be successful that you have to take your life very seriously
you have to take things uh you know you know
very carefully be very careful lay it to heart and
otherwise it could corrupt your seed even and
notice it says he's going to spread the dung of your solemn feast
you know solemn means that it's serious
that it's sober you know it's kind of a
quiet thing or you're taking it with caution
or care sometimes it's considered kind of a sad it could be you know
in a context of something that's kind of sad or your take but again it's
really serious he's saying they're taking these
things very seriously they're feasts and he still
doesn't like it why because you know god's not that
interested as much in our physical emotions
as it is our hearts meaning that god isn't happy just because your physical
body showed up at church today you know god god doesn't want church
attendance to be your body physically being present
he wants your heart to be in it and god is more pleased
when your heart is in it than your physical body
and in some cases you know even when i brought up hezekiah i believe i'm
accurate here but it was hezekiah where they were going to perform the
passover but they hadn't cleansed themselves
and so they ended up just doing it anyways
and then he asked for a pardon and says lord you know just pardon them
because their heart was right and then he ends up partying and it's like god
is more pleased with the people that didn't follow the
instructions correctly but their heart was right
than the guy that took it solemnly and had
it was completely cleansed physically but his heart wasn't even in it
he wasn't even doing the passover he didn't even care you know
and and the same would be with church that there's some people they show up
religiously and they are physically present but in
their heart and in their mind they're not there
and you know what god doesn't really god's not really pleased with that
god doesn't really care about that that much god care i mean think about
how many people are devoted catholics and they're physically present doing
all these works physically but they're not even saved their
heart's not even in the things of god they don't even care
about the things of god and god's not pleased with that person
it's not about how serious you take something it's about doing things
that are honest and with integrity and according to god's word
you know you've heard you can hear this phrase they're sincere
but they're sincerely wrong and here's the thing
being sincerely wrong god's not like well at least you're sincere
he doesn't care in fact you just shouldn't be sincerely wrong you
shouldn't be wrong because he gave us the clear
commandments and you know this particular chapter is really dealing
with the idea of what is right and what is wrong not
you know well i tried well i gave him my best effort
you know god doesn't really care about you giving effort towards the wrong
thing he wants you to just do the right
thing and he wants you to have the right heart and the right attitude
otherwise you know your service to god can end up being like dung upon your
face and let's be honest a many christian
services and many churches today are literally their services are like
dung upon face i mean these churches that
are having movies shown at their church service that is
done folks there's no other there's no other way to word it
i mean these services where you're getting a 10 minute 15 minute sermon
and it's not even from the bible it's not even teaching anything worthwhile
you know it's just done there's many worship songs that in my opinion they're
just done because they're just kind of worthless
and it doesn't matter that people are singing their heart out it doesn't
matter that they're screaming and waving their hands and
doing with juking and jiving it's just done because you know what it's
not with their heart being serious or the things of god
and you know what we need to make sure that our hearts are right with god
because that's the thing that really matters look at verse 4
and you shall know that i have sent this commandment unto you that my
covenant might be with levi sayeth the lord of hosts my covenant
was with him of life and peace and i gave them
to him for the fear wherewith he feared me
and was afraid before my name he's saying i gave the commandments to levi
because levi actually feared me and you know it kind of makes me think
of it this way it's like we get saved by grace but
then he gives us the commandments because we feared him and it's like you
know we don't uh make void the law yay we
established the law and the thing is is people act like oh
well you're giving people license to sin
but it it's it's complete opposite the people who believe in the freest
salvation live the strictest lives don't they
and they care the most about the law and they care most about the
commandments and you know he was giving the
commandments unto the levites because they feared him
and who fears them the most the people that got saved the people that
were humble enough to trust in him and put their faith in jesus christ
they're the ones that feared him and then he gave them the
commandments to show them how to truly fear the lord how to truly be
pleasing in his sight how to truly do the works and the
service of god verse 6 the law of truth was in his
mouth and iniquity was not found in his lips
he walked with me in peace and equity and did turn many
away from iniquity for the priest's lips should keep knowledge
and they should seek the law at his mouth for he is the messenger
of the lord of hosts this is really important because it's saying the priest
is one who should be kind of three different things here
he should have the law of truth in his mouth he should keep knowledge
and people are seeking the law at his mouth
what is the priest doing he's giving the law he's got the law of truth
he's keeping knowledge so it's like when people come to you and you say
hey this is what the bible says this is
what the law of god says you know that's what a faithful priest is
supposed to do why why is it though
that many people are not preaching this or not
acting like this or not saying these things it's because very few people
want to know the truth very few people want to know the truth
and you know even this chapter we're going to get into a few things but
you should desire to know what's right and what the truth is
no matter how much it may hurt your feelings
no matter how much how uncomfortable it may make you feel
because of your prior decisions your past
who you are or where you find yourself just like a perfect mirror
is going to give you an exact replication of what you really look
like this is what we should want in the
bible this is what we should want and seek for
we shouldn't want to look for a clown mirror or we shouldn't look for a
painting of somebody else and say like oh
this i didn't know i looked this good you know it's like but that's not a
mirror that's a painting of somebody else
right you should want a perfect representation of what you look like
you know and not like the mirror at the restaurant where it's all dark and
you just kind of like look good because it's like dark
no you want that bright mirror with the bright lights
and the white light and then you can see it's like oh man
it's kind of rough you know or i've got this issue or i got this thing i
need to fix so i got this thing i got to work on
you know we should seek for that we should seek for knowing
how we really look what is when god looks at me
what does he really see if i want to please
god what i would want to know is exactly what's true
exactly what's right exactly what god said and do it exactly as god said
but a lot of people today they're just not interested in knowing what's
really right they're not interested in knowing what's
really true because they're afraid of how ugly they're going to look
but you know what it's better to know so that you can fix it
because here's the thing if i don't look in a mirror
it doesn't change how ugly i am right if i
if i've got something going on in my face that's really ugly
me not looking in the mirror doesn't change the fact that that's how i
look right me looking in the mirror and
recognizing it and saying wow maybe i should make a change
that could then help me right so the truth will never
hurt you in the sense that it's not going to cause any kind of damage to
you but it could hurt your feelings right it could it could cause you to
like you didn't realize you looked that way and then you're like whoa
you know it's kind of like the scale sometimes you've been eating
and you've been avoiding the scale you know what i mean
but the scale is not going to hurt you the scale is not going to come out
and like punch you in the face or something right
but what could happen is eventually you're like you know what i'm gonna go step
on that scale and you're like this thing's broken you know obviously
this is not accurate but you know never stepping on the scale doesn't give you
an a chance to improve right you may think
like oh wow i am a lot more overweight than i thought
i need to fix that right that's this is an issue there's a problem here
and i should work on this potentially i should try to improve
in this area and the same is with the law of god the same is with
church you know why show up on wednesday night
it's not to get a pat on the back it's to put yourself on the scale
it's to hold up a mirror and just kind of see okay what's going on
and you know as a priest you know one other application just beyond just
say christians is kind of similar to pastors pastors
as a as a pastor as a preacher or someone that's delivering god's word
what does the bible say you are the messenger of the lord
so you're not to get up and deliver your message you're to get up and
deliver his message and you're supposed to get up and just
show the mirror of god's word and and show people what they really look like
and not to hold back not to decide you know what
they're not going to really like it if i tell them this
you know it's the proverbial your wife says do i look fat in this dress
okay and it's it's kind of like a no win in marriage
and you know in marriage i'm not recommending being a pastor
you know in this context you should just i just avoid these questions you
know the bible says avoid foolish questions
say you always look beautiful okay well that's not answer the question
exactly right there's some trap questions in this world
you don't have to answer them okay all right but you know as a pastor
you don't get the skate you don't get to just ignore the question
you just have to answer the question you know do i look fat in this and
then you just have to answer it okay and and you know this is what
pastors and preachers and men of god should be
why why do they not want to do it for the same reason right they don't want to
make people uncomfortable upset them cause them to be mad at them you know
lose people you're going to lose people if you preach the bible
but you know what you're going to lose people you don't you're always
going to lose people so you might as well just
preach what you're supposed to preach anyways you know and if you're jeremiah
and you have to preach to a reprobate crowd then do it
with all your might right and if you get to be a josiah and you get to be
someone that gathers a lot of people or a david you know then do it right
but if you're going to be the man of god if you're going to be the preacher if
you're going to be the pastor you better just say what the bible says
and not hold back this is what causes god to get very angry
look at verse 8 but you are departed out of the way you have caused many
to stumble at the law you have corrupted the covenant of levi
saith the lord of hosts therefore have i also made you
contemptible and base before all the people according as you
have not kept my ways but have been partial in my in the law
so according to the bible he's going to end up making the priest's base
and you know i see that in america today where many of the preachers and
pastors of america are some of the worst and the scummiest people aren't
they i mean kenneth copeland is just a
loser folks and you know he's just he's just
making so many people like dumb people pastors now and people have no
integrity no talent they commit some of the
worst sins they're greedy and he just kind of
made you know the preachers and the these
people just some of the worst of the worst and you know what it's a
shame why because they're not preaching the whole council of god
they're not preaching all the bible and you know
unfortunately it just kind of made it where christianity is kind of a joke
like the world makes fun of christianity because of tv preachers
why because even even the world can recognize
these guys are a joke these guys are silly
they're not they're not people to be feared you know
the world has a harder time making fun of
men that have integrity and actually believe the bible and preach it with
conviction you know they'll do it and they'll
attack them i get it you know what they end up respecting them it's kind
of like uh john the baptist and harrod harrod
he kind of like wanted to hear john the baptist preach he kind of respected him
because he knew he was legit you know and it's also kind of like
the king of israel and the king of judo when they're seeking for a man of
god to tell them and they get all these guys to be
like oh go and prosper and he's like isn't there a man of god besides you
know isn't there like a real preacher
somewhere that we can ask and there's like well there's this one guy
makaya but you know like i hate his preaching you know
why because he never says anything positive and it'd be like
biden it'd be like what does pastor shelly say positive about biden
let's go brandon that's about the most positive thing i've said about
him you know and it's like he wouldn't he
wouldn't want me to come around but you know what it's it's it's a shame
and a mockery when the men of god are the worst sinners are the greediest
losers people that don't even have any kind of
education they don't even know what the bible says they're ignorant of the
scripture they don't actually uh practice what
they preach and you know it's just a shame and
embarrassment to christianity and to god when that's what christianity is
when the vast majority of christianity is just this fake garbage
prosperity preaching word of faith movement
snake handling junk you know just makes christianity look bad and we need more
priests we need more men of god that are
willing to actually do what the bible says
and make christianity respectable again you know
not for our sake for god's sake for the lord's sake for his name's
sake you know we're supposed to be the ambassadors of christ
you know how embarrassing it is when america all the ambassadors that are
sent out are trannies right
oh what's america like here's a tranny to tell you what america is
like here's a transvestite to represent
america here's michael obama i mean sorry michelle
i said it like brock did that one time
it's like how is that you know not an embarrassment when that's who's
representing us you know and of course you know
olympics used to be a big thing and
you know for some countries if you go on the national stage in the olympics
and you fail or you you kind of embarrass the country
sometimes they'll kill you or they'll put you in prison just because it's like
you know it's such an embarrassing thing for you to be this representative
of our country on the national stage and then you embarrass us like this
you know there's a harsh and strict punishment you know what god feels the
same way when we are christians on the
national stage on the world stage representing christ
and then we aren't even willing to take things seriously
it's like when christians get asked like what do you think about
homosexuality oh you know jesus didn't say anything about it
what what are you talking about well you know homosexuality is a sin
what verse i don't know you know it's like no you should be like
leviticus 2013 i'm ready to quote it right now
hey it's on my shirt hey i've got a dvd for you
hey i've got a poster for you right it's like that should be the attitude
why would you be embarrassed of your lord and savior's own words
of your cap you know well i know this is what
you know our boss said this is what i think
you know how presumptuous are you when you have a better idea or better
way to word things than god than our boss you know that's that's
the real embarrassment verse 10 the bible says have we not
all one father have not one god created us why do we
deal treacherously every man against his brother by
profaning the covenant of our fathers judath dealt treacherously and an
abomination is committed in israel and in jerusalem for judath profaned the
holiness of the lord which he loved and hath married the
daughter of a strange god the lord will cut off the man that
doeth this the master and the scholar out of the tabernacles of
jacob and him that offerth an offering under the lord of hosts so
he's saying look we all have the same god yet people are dealing
treacherously against god breaking covenants
and dealing treacherously by committing abominations
they're literally going after false religion
marrying false religion with his religion you know this kind of makes
me think of roman catholicism mixing pagan
religion with christianity and you're just getting a completely
strange god at that point you're getting a false god
you're getting a false religion catholicism is not christianity
it's a perversion it's a it's a completely different religion
and it's a false religion you know and it's a shame
when the priests drive the religion that you have into a
completely different religion into a completely different ideology and
they just kind of destroy these things he says he's going to destroy
them and the master and the scholar and
cause them to just be completely dumb make fun of them keep your finger and
go to first committee chapter number five
and i mean honestly that that makes me think of these quote church fathers
many times you know you look at the christian
church fathers but many of these masters and scholars
are complete imbeciles when it comes to christian doctrine
they believe really dumb things they believe really silly things things that
don't make any sense infant baptism i mean what a stupid
ideology how about just the doctrine of
mary altrey where they literally think that mary is
this perfect virgin that's never sinned nowhere in the bible the bible says
for all of sin and comes short of the glory of god
why did she even have to offer an offering after she gave birth to
jesus christ and she's perfect you know that doesn't really fit and
then when it literally says that he has brothers and sisters
they're like oh those are just cousins why don't you fix your bible then
but they won't fix that they literally pray to mary
they have statues of mary i mean god is saying have no other gods before me
and not make any graven image these are like the top two commandments
in the bible and then they're literally bringing in giant graven
images of a mary and worshiping it
oh i'm not worshiping it i'm i'm kneeling down and praying to it
that's called worshiping it well but it's it's it's false religion
it's wicked and it's stupid i love those videos where they're carrying it
down the aisle and then they stumble and then it just
falls and shatters like they're false gods or whatever it just
breaks like their fish god dagon or whatever
just their head just like bam you know and it just shatters
that's just funny it's funny because of how stupid these people are
and he's saying i'm gonna take your master and your scholar and i'm gonna
make them worship a little woman image
how embarrassing for a grown man to bow down
to a statue of a woman talk about effeminate talk about just
ridiculous right and he's just saying look i'm gonna
just completely annihilate you you know he said this to jeremiah that if
jeremiah would not preach the word of god
then he would confound him before them
and you know this is a warning to us and to the pastors
out there that know what the bible says to not be partial because what
could be the punishment god could cause you to just become a
complete fool and a complete idiot and start believing really dumb things
and start sounding like a complete idiot look at first timothy chapter
number five kind of towards the latter portion
of this chapter it's bringing up just some different
commandments it says in verse number uh let's look at
verse 21 i charge thee therefore i'm sorry i charge thee before god and the
lord jesus christ and the elect angels that they observe
these things without preferring one before another
doing nothing by partiality now this is clearly you know instructions
given to a pastor to a leader in the church
and he's saying look i'm telling you
before god and the lord jesus christ and all of the angels for all of them
you better do everything that the bible says and
not hold back and of course why would you ever hold back because you
don't want to do it because it's not popular
do nothing by partiality whatever the bible says
do it if the bible says kick your best friend out of church
you kick your best friend out of church if the bible says rebuke them
sharply then you rebuke them sharply if the bible says give them grace and
mercy and forgiveness then you give them
grace and forgiveness and you give them mercy
right it doesn't matter what your personal feelings are it doesn't matter
what you have to do where you have to go
if the bible says to be an evangelist do the do the work of an
evangelist then you do the work of evangelist whether you want to or not
you know if the bible says he that swereth his own hurt and changeth not
and you've sworn you know what you don't change
to your own hurt right keep your promises keep your integrity
do what the bible says love your wives
be not bitter against them preach the word be instant in season out of
season you know we need men of god that are
not going to be partial because when you're partial
god will make you look like an idiot
god is giving you the opportunity to look wise you have to do all of it
and he gives you the opportunity to look like an idiot when you start
skipping stuff when you start messing up stuff
when you start deciding not to do certain things he'll confound you he'll
cause you to have lots of problems and you know look at the next verses
lay hands suddenly on no man neither be partaker of other men's
sins keep thyself pure look we're supposed to keep ourselves
pure and we keep ourselves pure by doing everything not just being
partial not just picking the parts of the bible that we like
hey i really like soul winning so i'm gonna do that
what about the other stuff i don't want to do that
go to church you know respect respect pastors no i don't want to do that
you know love your wife i would if i had a good one
you know be a good husband be a good father yeah my kids are brats
you know work hard at the job well i would if i had a good job
you wouldn't if you had a good job you wouldn't have you had a good
spouse you wouldn't have you had good show
you know that attitude just shows us what you're really like anyways
and you know the person that says well i really like the part of the bible
that i'm doing good and i like okay good i'm glad you like the part
that you like how about the parts that you don't
like you know there's going to be things in christianity that you don't
want to do you know what the bible says doing
nothing impartiality you know and not just you know with the
laying hands suddenly this is like ordination but it's like
don't just you don't want to be in a church where they're just ordaining
people like hotcakes or something you know and
because again if you if you're hasty in a matter it's
not going to really pan out you know you want to take your time
know people be serious about it vet them talk to them test them prove
them make sure that they don't have some
issue that you're going to have a problem with down the road
it's like i'd rather ask all the uncomfortable questions now
then have to have the uncomfortable question the uncomfortable conversation
afterwards and be like oh wow if i had known
that then i would have never obtained you you know i would have
never want to put you in that position right
and obviously anybody can make mistakes but he's saying look don't be a
partaker of his sin don't end up you know ordaining some
bozo and then you know scarring your
reputation by having that bozo as be someone
that you kind of uh have to take credit for you know be
careful and who you ordain be careful and who you lay
hands on be careful and who you set up in the
next spot and who takes over for you you know
and this is important you know don't do anything partially
like well i just really like this guy you know i'm not going to ordain
people just because i like them in fact it has no bearing on whether
or not i would ordain somebody i don't really care if i like you or not that
much you know and there's going to be
there's going to be great people that'll never get ordained by me and
that's okay like being ordained doesn't mean that i
don't like you or something like that but you know the people that should be
ordained are people that aren't going to be partial either
and that don't have these glaring sin issues and everything like that go
back if you would to malachi chapter number two why because
these look this priest job is really important isn't it
and the bible's talking about how he's going to destroy their seed and
the whole nation's going to hell in a hand basket because of who the
pastors and the priests are and you know if we as christians say well
you know what there's just so many bad churches so we're just going to start
ordaining everybody you know where's jonathan the levite
let's just get him ordain him and just send him out and send the next
guy you know we'd rather care more about
quality than quantity
and i'll tell you what you take the right guy
and you put him somewhere in america that doesn't really have much going for
it and in the long run he could build a
successful church and you take an idiot and you put him in a great
church and pretty soon that thing will be destroyed
because you know it's not really about like some people think like
oh if i was given a good church then it would go well it's like look
if you take tyler baker and you give him faith board baptist church
he'll destroy it in five years
and you take pastor anderson and you put him out in the middle of nowhere
and he'll build a big church in five ten years again
why because it's not so much about the opportunity is is the character of
that person and of course if you have somebody that's
really great you know i don't want to necessarily put them in a town of six
you know like let's let's put them in a place where they have a lot of
opportunity right we don't want to just squander that
opportunity but what i am telling you
is that you know what we need to get some quality priests out there
as opposed to quantity priests and you know i'm all for let's let's
ordain a million people okay but you know what let's have a million
high quality individuals then okay and let's not sacrifice on quality
just for quantity's sake because in the long run
that's not going to benefit christianity what's not going to
benefit christianity is sending all these people out that are
constantly failing preaching false doctrine
getting a caught away getting caught away in sin causing all kinds of
problems quitting fail i mean that's just not
going to really do what we need what we need is
fire brands that aren't going to be put out by the waters of this life
that you know you're just going to put them out there and they're going to
be a jeremiah to the end you know what i mean and these
priests are just you know ruining the things of god they're
destroying the things of god and it's causing everybody to commit treachery
verse 12 it says i'm sorry verse uh 13 and this
have you done again covering the altar of the lord with tears with weeping
and with crying out insomuch that he regardeth not the
offering anymore or receiveth it with good will
at your hand now this is kind of silly
but you know what it's saying it's saying like they're crying
like they know that they've screwed up and they cause all these problems and
they literally are crying about it and that makes god more upset
he's he's more upset that they're crying about and you kind of see
this a couple places in scripture i'm not going to turn to him for sake of
time but esau he he's like sought
you know for you know basically repentance but even though he sought it
with tears he found no place for repentance though
he sought it carefully with tears he found no place for repentance
meaning it's like god doesn't care that you're crying he cares that you
change he cares that you actually in your
heart it means something and look plenty of people cry when
they're caught you know bill clinton will cry that he
got caught you know but he's not sorry that he
did it he's sorry he got caught pharaoh will cry that his son died but
he's not sorry in the sense that he's going to change
he's going to still go after the children of israel
he's still going to destroy them you know there's sin in the camp akins
caused sin in the camp and joshua's feeling bad and just crying
and god's like get up and just kill him you know he doesn't say it that
way but he's just like get up and deal with the sin issue
right and instead of priests just going around and crying and weeping
why don't you just deal with sin why don't you just be a man
and fix the problem and you know what people don't really like men
that are cry babies they like guys that just fix the problem
and you know if you're at work and you screw up instead of just being like
i'm so sorry boss i didn't mean it please don't fire me man
you know what he'd rather you do just fix it
and in fact by the whining and crying he might just fire you because you're
crying it's like there's no crying in baseball okay
you know just get over it but he's mad at them he's like they're
covering the altar with the lord with tears
with weeping and crying out and so much that he regardeth not the
offering anymore he's like you're crying annoys me so much i don't
even want to look at the offering anymore
and you know it it makes me think of some of these non-denom
churches where the pastors are literally getting up and crying on the
boat like like it's like it's so fake
crocodile tears god's just like this is annoying why
can't you just preach the bible it's like why do you have to get up
there and cry you know maybe it's just you have too
tight of pants on you know those skinny jeans are
causing you to be uncomfortable get some loose pants and maybe you'll
stop crying so much right
look at verse 14 yet you say we're four because the lord has been witnessed
between thee and the wife of thy youth
against whom thou has dealt treacherously yet is she thy companion
and the wife of thy covenant and did not he make one yet had he
the residue of the spirit and wherefore one
that he might seek a godly seed therefore take heed to your spirit
and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth for the
lord the god of israel sayeth that he hated
putting away for one covered violence with his garment sayeth the lord of
hosts therefore take heed to your spirit
that you deal not treacherously according to the bible god hates
divorce and that's not my opinion that's the
opinion of the bible and let me point something out to you
malachi is in the old testament did you let me explain something
it's in the old testament and whenever they ask
jesus christ about divorce and remarriage
and they're quoting moses why didn't they quote this chapter
hey moses said to give a bill of divorce but malachi said
that god hates divorce so so we divorce
uh there's your obvious answer no what god has joined together let not man
put asunder isn't that what jesus answered and
he's saying hey don't divorce and then they're like well then why is
that in the law it's just because god allows people to do things that aren't
necessarily the best option but one thing that's really clear
you know in this uh passage is he's saying they're dealing treacherously
against the wife of thy youth and you know the only provision for
divorce according to the bible was where essentially there was fraud
at that early stage of the engagement and then it's immediately discovered upon
that uh commencement of the marriage and so they would be put away immediately
you wouldn't be dealing treacherously with the wife of thy youth in that
context because you never really were married for very long i mean it was
it's kind of like an annulment in a sense but here's the thing even
though the bible does not prescribe or allow
for divorce in the context of anything
other than that annulment scenario sinful man was obviously doing all kinds
of divorce like we have today and you can see consistently you know
like a woman at the well she's had five husbands okay you know
it's like obviously people were not treating
divorce the way god actually intended and that's why he was kind of
rebuking them for it and it's super clear the way the
pharisees and the disciples act that was not a common practice
because then they're thinking like well then who should get married
like you're saying that i'd be stuck with her forever
it's pretty obvious that people were constantly divorcing their spouses and
putting their spouses away for all kinds of different reasons and
all kinds of different situations and things like that but how did god feel
about it he hates it he hates divorce divorce is
wrong divorce is not right and we shouldn't
divorce now look i if you've divorced in here i'm not
trying to be mad at you because frankly i personally don't care like
that's a mistake that you made in the past and i don't i don't really care
that's for you to deal with but you know
now that you've already made that mistake don't make it again
stick with the spouse that you have stay with the one that you've got
but you know what for those of us that have never been divorced and those
of us that are young those children in this room never
divorced and when you're deciding who you
think you might be interested in for marriage
make sure it's somebody that you're going to say like i'm going to be with
this person until they die even if i have to kill them okay i'm
just kidding
but i'm not going to divorce them okay no i'm just kidding
and at the end of the day you know it's just frustrating how many people
want to justify divorce and i wonder how many times the non-denom
churches and these these liberal pastors get up and use
this verse when when they even talk about divorce
shouldn't this at least be brought up when you're discussing divorce oh yeah
god hates it but if you know it's marital infidelity
well you know what that's a really broad statement these days
and look is that bad sure does the does the bible deal with that sure
but you know what josea had to deal with it and he stayed married
i mean if god's wanting josea to get divorced for that then why didn't he
get divorced why does he have to pay for his wife to stay with him
talk about that's like the worst thing it's like not only did they
commit adultery i have to pay you to stick around and be with me too
it's like this is weird but you know it's to show how god can love someone
when they're not loving him back and you know that's the picture of marriage
true marriage is loving someone when they don't deserve it
and you're like well but they don't deserve it exactly that's what
marriage is you know it's easy to love someone
that loves you it's easy to love someone that does
good to you it's easy to love someone when they're blessing you and giving
you gifts and money and they're healthy and they're in their
their perfect shape and perfect health and their youth and everything it's
like it's just easy you know what when
they're not any of those things that's why it's hard and that's why
at the marriage vows it's not like only in prosperity and
health it's like in poverty as in wealth
right in sickness as in health forsaking all others
forsaking all others you know one aspect of marriage is forsaking
all others it's like how should you as a married man treat other women forsake
them it's like they're in the wilderness
they're like they were gonna die if i didn't help
them so i left them in the wilderness to die
i forsook her you know it's like yeah but what about this flame what if my
what if my marriage doesn't work out i don't want to like burn this bridge
burn it it's like but you know i just want to keep her number in my phone
delete it well i just want to be facebook friends delete her
just delete facebook just become a terrorist like me and then you don't
have to worry about it i'm just kidding
you know it's like i have this old love letter from
my high school sweetheart burn it
you're like this is harsh forsake them don't think about them
don't keep anything in the memory banks don't keep any
memorabilia don't keep it just just burn it
trash it you know and if you held on it for this long your wife doesn't know
just secretly go out and just burn it or whatever you know
it'd be like drubel and do it at night or whatever overthrow
the bail statue or whatever but you know it's important that we get the
right and proper balance in the bible and we realize that of
course we're supposed to love our spouse and do good but even if
even if they don't reciprocate just don't don't even let divorce be an
option you know here's another thing just take
it out of your vocabulary like if you guys have fights and i know
some of you fight okay and if you fight just never threaten
divorce or any anything like that leaving them
or whatever you know i'd rather my wife threaten
to kill me than to threaten divorce okay
i'm not saying that's okay that's appropriate but what i am saying
is that you know you just just take it out of vocabulary you know
you know it really hurts when you threaten divorce is the children that
hear your fight and i mean i've been there and you
know as a child you don't realize sometimes that your
parents just say stupid things but like it can really terrify kids
when they hear like that their parents say dumb things
like that or they say i hate you or they say you know i'm gonna divorce
you or whatever and you know i've seen it i've been
around it and you know what it really hurts the kids
badly and i'm just telling you just don't do it
you know the best thing is just to not even fight in front of your kids
um if you can help it but even if you do you know
you want to make sure that you're careful with what you say around your
children and sometimes what you like you're
fighting if you're not careful you'll notice
that that's how they're going to fight with their spouse in the future
so you should be careful you know how you handle yourself let's read one
more verse you have weary the lord with your words
yet you say wherein have we wearied him when you say everyone that do with
good evil is good in the sight of the lord and he
delighted in them or where's the god of judgment you
can spend a whole day on this but um i do want to go to
one more place go to proverbs chapter 28
you know it's just frustrating how creatures today
just justify sin so much that i mean you'll have people that are clearly in
violation of first corinthians five and they'll be like oh no it's great
that they're here and god wants them to be here in church
and it's like god's not delighting in this person god's not delighting in
the drunkard at church god's not delighting in the railer at church
god's not delighting in the extortioner church or the covetous person in
church god wants them to be thrown out and
god's not pleased with that person and you know god doesn't think that
everyone who's evil is doing it i mean think about
some of the things we've heard and some of the movies that we've made
people like john getch getting up in his church
and literally saying you can't have a hateful attitude
towards transvestites and lgbt and that they're made in god's image
and we have to have respect for them almost as if god has some delight in
this individual and it's like when you can't even say
that that person's evil then who's evil anymore
like what there's no such thing as an evil person at that point
when the the god-hating atheist transvestite is not evil
no one's evil anymore and you know the only people that
really seem to want to do that are false prophets because they're
technically the only people worse than them
and you see why false prophets and false teachers have an inclination to
try and downgrade sin and try to make it seem like
god's not mad at anybody because downward inside they're trying
to justify themselves and they're trying to make it seem
like god's not mad at them either but you know what god's very angry
with with the wicked he's angry with the wicked every day according to the
bible and you know i think that we just want to believe that we're
just constantly his delight but that's not necessarily true and look
what the bible says in proverbs 28 verse 4
they that forsake the law praise the wicked
but such as keep the law content with them there's a good
parallel verse notice the people that actually care about the law
will condemn the wicked but the people that
don't care about the bible and don't care about the things of god they'll
end up praising wicked people and evil people and acting like they're great
um you know to just kind of summarize this chapter i mean you look at
the priests and you look at the pastors of the day
and notice what was the problem with the the priests of the old
time they were partial on the law they would cry
but not fix anything they were permitting divorce
and then they would praise wicked people you know what makes me think
you know what i think of when i think of this greg lock
why because he's partial in the commandments of god he doesn't preach
the whole council of god he's a crybaby he obviously permits
divorce because he himself ran away with the secretary
and you know what he got married the same year that he divorced his wife
he got remarried it's like he got divorced officially in like may
of 2018 and then he married his secretary wife in 2018
and i saw the art there was an article saying he got married and the
article was dated august of 2018 so it almost makes me think it was like
only a few months like the ink's barely dry
on the divorce and he's already married
to this other woman i mean how could you take
the marriage vow seriously when the person that you're getting married to
just literally divorced their spouse just literally was treacherous against
the wife of my youth like for better for worse it's like okay
like does he gonna mean it this time like why do you think he's gonna be this
time and you know greg lock got married when he was 19
he was married for 23 years and then just divorced his wife claimed
she has mental health issues or something
it's probably just because she was married to you buddy
you probably gave her those mental health issues
and then the guy praised the wicked you say how does he praise the wicked
he's literally glorifying israel and he's acting like oh all these people
that are you know replacement theology and and
saying negative things about jews it's like
yeah because they're literally the worst they're bringing in pornography
and crime and interest and some of the worst sins that are imaginable
on this planet i mean the things that these priests do
these rabbis do to little boys after they
get them circumcision how could you even kind of
want to wear their stupid prayer shawl and their stupid little tiny hat
and blow this show far i mean you are praising the wicked
why would i want to continue to encourage pedophilia
and all the evil and the sin that's going on in israel
waving their flag i mean i'm not even gonna wave the american flag
let alone the israel flag oh does that mean you're gonna wave the
palestinian flag no i'm not gonna wave that one either
okay there's really not an i'll wave the bahamas flag maybe okay
i like them all right and and you know what that might not even be right
but you know what i'm not going to do is i'm not going to just praise the
wicked just to get street cred with the neo-cons or
the republicans or something like that or
look how awesome look how zionist i am i got a tattoo of the star on my chest
it's like you know that it just these guys can't even
praise anything worthwhile and look oh greg lock made fun of joe biden
yeah but you know what you know who's worse than joe biden israel
i i don't respect anybody you criticize joe biden but then you say
israel's awesome you know i have no respect for you
you're praising someone way more wicked than joe biden joe biden doesn't even
know where he's at okay this guy's brain dead
yeah is he wicked sure but you know who's also wicked
israel and their war crimes that they're committing right now
and the slaughter of women and children that they're doing as well
and their constant lies and propaganda to prop up
uh their justification for warfare they literally stole that land they
blaspheme christ's name they give they give homage to the
worst religion the worst religion in the world is judaism
the worst it blasphemes our messiah they spit on christians when christians
visit israel these you know pigtail
false prophets are going around spitting on them
i mean these people are filled with pedophilia they think that the whole
world is goyim they hate the gospel they hate the
name of our savior they blaspheme his name
they teach the worst false gospel they're going to try and usher in and bring
in the anti-christ i mean why is it that i would sit here
and praise them oh let's give money to rebuild the temple
how blasphemous i mean you can't get much more blasphemous than
rebuilding the temple that jesus christ said hey not even a
stone is going to be standing upon another
and why was it knocked down because he was the ultimate sacrifice there is no
more need for that temple there is no more need for sacrifice
why in the world would i give money to bring in blasphemous sacrifices against
the lord jesus christ
you know that's that's the embarrassing thing of america
is that anybody goes to this guy's church
you know the bible says if a ruler hearkened to lies all his servants are
wicked and you know what all the people
going to gregg lock's church right now are wicked
and they need to repent and leave that wicked false prophet and leave that
priest and get away from him and go to a real
church because you know what their solemn feast god would literally
pick up dung and spread it in gregg lock's face
and he would spread dung in the face of every single person in those
church services worshiping and idolizing israel and the
star of rem fan that wicked false religion they've
married themselves into a strange god into a false god
we're not i'm not judeo-christian i'm just christian
i'm not married under some false religion and some false god
and you know we as god's people need to take these things seriously
oh but you know if you preach replacement theology people get mad
let them get mad you know what i'm not gonna be partial in the law
and look if i stop preaching replacement theology i'm gonna have very little
bible to preach anymore dude the thing is filled with
replacement theology you can see why these people don't
preach much bible or don't understand hardly any of it
because they're partial in the law and god's going to make them look like the
idiots that they are the fools that they are and gregg lock
looks like a fool he acts like a fool and you know we should stay away from
any of these israel flag-waving creatures
they they're forsaking the law oh i i think they take the law
seriously are they praising the wicked though
are they praising the police chief and the mayor and israel
well you know what the banker are they bringing the banker in
hey here's the guy ripping us all off let's give him a round of applause
this guy's bankrupting our country you know let's make sure to you know get
him a third a third boat or whatever it is you know a third
pigtail
you know we need to make sure that we care about what the truth is and not
what our feelings are let's go in prayer thank you heavenly
father so much for giving us this chapter of the bible i pray that we
would care more about the truth in our own feelings
that we would take church seriously we lay it to heart we decide that we're not
here for ourselves we're here to glorify you
and that our life is not to glorify ourselves but rather glorify you
i pray that you would embolden christians today you embolden
preachers and pastors to preach the whole council of god
not to be partial that they wouldn't lay hands suddenly on
any man but rather they would find faithful men
who are going to take the bible seriously and are going to take
pastoring seriously and preach what the bible says
and and not fear the faces of man pray that you would help us to have a
revival in this country that you'd help waken people up to the real truth
and that we could see many people saved and not only saved
but turned to righteousness turned away from true inequity in jesus name
we pray amen
all right in closing let's go to song number one zero nine
