everywhere he leads me i would follow on

10:14.840 --> 10:16.840
wonderful singing

10:21.840 --> 10:25.840
i think at this time we're going to go through some announcements

10:25.840 --> 10:28.840
and so one of the things that we wanted to briefly do

10:28.840 --> 10:31.840
is we wanted to make sure that we tally up all of the

10:31.840 --> 10:35.840
salvations from the day. Somebody have a pen I could borrow

10:35.840 --> 10:40.840
so we had 15 salvations reported for the morning session

10:40.840 --> 10:43.840
and that was tallied up by Brother Luke

10:43.840 --> 10:46.840
and so I know different groups got their totals together

10:46.840 --> 10:49.840
and got them to Brother Luke. Does anybody think that your

10:49.840 --> 10:52.840
salvation did not get reported? Any soul winning groups that

10:52.840 --> 10:56.840
did not report? Did not turn in any numbers?

10:57.840 --> 11:00.840
We're talking just before lunch

11:00.840 --> 11:03.840
anything before lunch that didn't get reported

11:03.840 --> 11:05.840
because we're going to do after lunch in a moment

11:05.840 --> 11:07.840
before lunch

11:07.840 --> 11:11.840
anything before lunch that did not get turned in

11:11.840 --> 11:14.840
alright very good now let's go ahead and count up

11:14.840 --> 11:17.840
after lunch so I know that we'll just do this by the

11:17.840 --> 11:20.840
individual unless you've already coordinated but like me

11:20.840 --> 11:23.840
and my partner had two salvations so I'm going to put that down

11:23.840 --> 11:27.840
and then we got 3, 1, 1

11:27.840 --> 11:31.840
and then boom boom

11:32.840 --> 11:34.840
alright gotcha

11:34.840 --> 11:39.840
anything else from the afternoon session of soul winning?

11:39.840 --> 11:44.840
5 for the van and none of those people reported separately right?

11:44.840 --> 11:47.840
ok good alright very good

11:47.840 --> 11:50.840
and then we got ok

11:50.840 --> 11:53.840
alright any other ok and you weren't in Raymond's group?

11:53.840 --> 11:56.840
you weren't in his van ok

11:56.840 --> 11:59.840
alright anything else?

12:00.840 --> 12:03.840
is that a 1 or a 2? that's a 2 alright

12:06.840 --> 12:09.840
alright anything else from the afternoon?

12:09.840 --> 12:12.840
ok

12:13.840 --> 12:16.840
gotcha minus 1 gotcha ok

12:16.840 --> 12:19.840
he went out and damned someone so he had to subtract

12:19.840 --> 12:22.840
no I'm just kidding that was a joke

12:22.840 --> 12:25.840
no it was just that we double counted once so we got rid of that

12:25.840 --> 12:28.840
anything else from the afternoon to report?

12:28.840 --> 12:31.840
ok gotcha alright

12:31.840 --> 12:34.840
anything else? alright very good

12:34.840 --> 12:37.840
see what you've done Raymond?

12:37.840 --> 12:40.840
you just caused all kinds of problems

12:40.840 --> 12:43.840
ok anything else?

12:43.840 --> 12:46.840
alright any additions subtractions? I think we got a pretty accurate count here

12:46.840 --> 12:49.840
so I'm not going to do all this math on the fly

12:49.840 --> 12:52.840
I'm not really a savant like that

12:52.840 --> 12:55.840
but I'll count it up in just a moment

12:55.840 --> 12:58.840
but the other thing we want to say is that this schedule is just all wrong

12:58.840 --> 13:01.840
just forget about it

13:01.840 --> 13:04.840
throw it in the trash because pastor Shelley is going to preach for hours

13:04.840 --> 13:07.840
ok no I'm just kidding

13:07.840 --> 13:10.840
no we're going to keep him within reason

13:10.840 --> 13:13.840
I'll give him the signal if it starts getting too long

13:13.840 --> 13:16.840
but the dinner she's picking up the dinner at about 6 o'clock

13:16.840 --> 13:19.840
so realistically we're really going to be eating at like 6.15

13:19.840 --> 13:22.840
ok so it gives you a little extra time

13:22.840 --> 13:25.840
and then we're going to have the sermon from pastor Shelley tonight

13:25.840 --> 13:28.840
and then we're going to have

13:28.840 --> 13:31.840
Chinese food

13:31.840 --> 13:34.840
hopefully the hunger doesn't hit exactly an hour later during my sermon

13:34.840 --> 13:37.840
but then I'll preach after that

13:37.840 --> 13:40.840
and then that will be the end of the event

13:40.840 --> 13:43.840
the churches that we're recommending for those that are

13:43.840 --> 13:46.840
visiting the area and don't really know the lay of the land

13:46.840 --> 13:49.840
we're recommending Pioneer Baptist in Carmichael

13:49.840 --> 13:52.840
and Regency Baptist in Loomis

13:52.840 --> 13:55.840
so those are the two that we're recommending

13:55.840 --> 13:58.840
we were originally recommending four but there were some

13:58.840 --> 14:01.840
malfunctions in those churches

14:01.840 --> 14:04.840
so we're recommending two, Pioneer

14:04.840 --> 14:07.840
and Regency so if you have any questions about that let us know

14:07.840 --> 14:10.840
any questions in general about the event?

14:10.840 --> 14:13.840
I think other than that we're good to go

14:13.840 --> 14:16.840
do we have another song?

14:16.840 --> 14:19.840
alright let's make it a quick one because we've got to get this guy up here preaching

14:19.840 --> 14:22.840
we're going to be here all night

14:25.840 --> 14:28.840
turn to page number ten

14:28.840 --> 14:31.840
till the storm passes by

14:31.840 --> 14:34.840
till the storm passes by on page number ten

14:34.840 --> 14:37.840
on your bulletin

14:40.840 --> 14:43.840
nice and strong together on that first verse

14:46.840 --> 14:49.840
in the dark of the midnight

14:49.840 --> 14:52.840
now I haunt in my face

14:52.840 --> 14:55.840
while the storm

14:55.840 --> 14:58.840
howls above me

14:58.840 --> 15:01.840
and there's no hiding place

15:01.840 --> 15:04.840
in the crash of the thunder

15:04.840 --> 15:07.840
precious Lord

15:07.840 --> 15:10.840
hear my cry

15:10.840 --> 15:13.840
keep me safe till the storm

15:13.840 --> 15:16.840
passes by

15:16.840 --> 15:19.840
till the storm

15:19.840 --> 15:22.840
passes over till the thunder

15:22.840 --> 15:25.840
sounds no more

15:25.840 --> 15:28.840
till the clouds roll forever

15:28.840 --> 15:31.840
from the sky

15:31.840 --> 15:34.840
hold me fast

15:34.840 --> 15:37.840
let me stand in the hollow

15:37.840 --> 15:40.840
of thy hand

15:40.840 --> 15:43.840
keep me safe till the storm

15:43.840 --> 15:46.840
passes by

15:46.840 --> 15:49.840
many times

15:49.840 --> 15:52.840
Satan whispered

15:52.840 --> 15:55.840
there is no need to try

15:55.840 --> 15:58.840
for there's no end of sorrow

15:58.840 --> 16:01.840
there's no hope

16:01.840 --> 16:04.840
by and by but I know

16:04.840 --> 16:07.840
thou art with me

16:07.840 --> 16:10.840
and tomorrow I'll rise

16:10.840 --> 16:13.840
where the storm's never

16:13.840 --> 16:16.840
dark in the sky

16:16.840 --> 16:19.840
till the storm

16:19.840 --> 16:22.840
passes over till the thunder

16:22.840 --> 16:25.840
sounds no more

16:25.840 --> 16:28.840
till the clouds roll forever

16:28.840 --> 16:31.840
from the sky

16:31.840 --> 16:34.840
hold me fast

16:34.840 --> 16:37.840
let me stand in the hollow

16:37.840 --> 16:40.840
of thy hand

16:40.840 --> 16:43.840
keep me safe till the storm

16:43.840 --> 16:46.840
passes by

16:46.840 --> 16:49.840
when the long

16:49.840 --> 16:52.840
night has ended

16:52.840 --> 16:55.840
and the storm's come no more

16:55.840 --> 16:58.840
let me stand in thy presence

16:58.840 --> 17:01.840
on that bright

17:01.840 --> 17:04.840
peaceful shore

17:04.840 --> 17:07.840
in the land where the tempest

17:07.840 --> 17:10.840
never comes Lord may I

17:10.840 --> 17:13.840
dwell with thee

17:13.840 --> 17:16.840
when the storm

17:16.840 --> 17:19.840
passes by

17:19.840 --> 17:22.840
till the storm

17:22.840 --> 17:25.840
passes over till the thunder

17:25.840 --> 17:28.840
sounds no more till the clouds

17:28.840 --> 17:31.840
roll forever from the sky

17:31.840 --> 17:34.840
hold me fast

17:34.840 --> 17:37.840
let me stand

17:37.840 --> 17:40.840
in the hollow

17:40.840 --> 17:43.840
of thy hand

17:43.840 --> 17:46.840
till the storm

17:46.840 --> 17:49.840
passes by

18:13.840 --> 18:16.840
Proverbs chapter 20

18:16.840 --> 18:19.840
the Bible reads

18:19.840 --> 18:22.840
boast not thyself

18:22.840 --> 18:25.840
of tomorrow for thou knowest not

18:25.840 --> 18:28.840
what day may bring forth

18:28.840 --> 18:31.840
let another man praise thee

18:31.840 --> 18:34.840
not thine own mouth a stranger

18:34.840 --> 18:37.840
and not thine own lips

18:37.840 --> 18:40.840
a stone is heavy and the sand

18:40.840 --> 18:43.840
weighty but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both

18:43.840 --> 18:46.840
wrath is cruel and anger is

18:46.840 --> 18:49.840
outrageous but who is able to stand before envy

18:49.840 --> 18:52.840
open rebuke is better than secret love

18:52.840 --> 18:55.840
faithful are the wounds of a friend but the kisses

18:55.840 --> 18:58.840
of an enemy are deceitful

18:58.840 --> 19:01.840
full the soul loatheth in honeycomb but to an hungry soul every bitter

19:01.840 --> 19:04.840
thing is sweet as a bird that wandereth from her nest

19:04.840 --> 19:07.840
so is a man that wandereth from his place ointment

19:07.840 --> 19:10.840
and perfume rejoice the heart so doth the sweetness

19:10.840 --> 19:13.840
of a man's friend by hearty counsel

19:13.840 --> 19:16.840
thy own friend and thy father's friend forsake not neither

19:16.840 --> 19:19.840
go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity

19:19.840 --> 19:22.840
for better is a neighbor that is nearer than a brother

19:22.840 --> 19:25.840
far off my son be wise and make my heart

19:25.840 --> 19:28.840
glad that I may answer him that reproacheth me

19:28.840 --> 19:31.840
a prudent man foreseeeth the evil and hideeth himself

19:31.840 --> 19:34.840
but the simple pass on and are punished

19:34.840 --> 19:37.840
take his garment that is surety for a stranger

19:37.840 --> 19:40.840
and take a pledge of him for a strange woman

19:40.840 --> 19:43.840
he that blessed his friend with a loud voice

19:43.840 --> 19:46.840
rising early in the morning it shall be counted a curse to him

19:46.840 --> 19:49.840
a continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious

19:49.840 --> 19:52.840
woman are alike whosoever hideeth

19:52.840 --> 19:55.840
her hideeth the wind and the ointment of his right hand

19:55.840 --> 19:58.840
which berayeth himself iron sharpeneth

19:58.840 --> 20:01.840
iron so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend

20:01.840 --> 20:04.840
whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof

20:04.840 --> 20:07.840
so he that waiteth on his master shall be honored

20:07.840 --> 20:10.840
as in water face answereth to face

20:10.840 --> 20:13.840
so the heart of man to man

20:13.840 --> 20:16.840
hell and destruction are never full

20:16.840 --> 20:19.840
so the eyes of man are never satisfied

20:19.840 --> 20:22.840
as the finding pot of silver and the furnace for gold

20:22.840 --> 20:25.840
so is a man to his praise

20:25.840 --> 20:28.840
though thou shouldest pray a fool

20:28.840 --> 20:31.840
and not a monk wheat with a pestle yet will not his foolishness

20:31.840 --> 20:34.840
depart from him be thou diligent to know the state

20:34.840 --> 20:37.840
of thy flock and look well to thy herds

20:37.840 --> 20:40.840
for riches are not forever and doth the crown endure

20:40.840 --> 20:43.840
to every generation the hay appearth and the tender grass

20:43.840 --> 20:46.840
showeth itself and the herbs of the mountains are gathered

20:46.840 --> 20:49.840
the lambs are for thy clothing and the goats

20:49.840 --> 20:52.840
are the price of the field and thou shalt have goats

20:52.840 --> 20:55.840
milk enough for thy food for the food of thy household

20:55.840 --> 20:58.840
and for the maintenance for thy maidens. Let us pray.

20:58.840 --> 21:01.840
Definitely Father Lord we pray that you bless the service tonight.

21:01.840 --> 21:04.840
We pray that you fill Pastor Shelley with the Holy Spirit Lord

21:04.840 --> 21:07.840
to preach boldly, to preach truthfully Lord with power.

21:07.840 --> 21:10.840
Thank you for this conference Lord. Let us end on a high note Lord.

21:10.840 --> 21:13.840
In Jesus name we pray, Amen. Amen.

21:13.840 --> 21:16.840
I want to say thank you first to Pastor Mejia for inviting me

21:16.840 --> 21:19.840
to the Red Hot Preaching Conference 2.0.

21:19.840 --> 21:22.840
First of all I never thought I'd ever be invited back

21:22.840 --> 21:25.840
to the Red Hot Preaching Conference and so I definitely very much

21:25.840 --> 21:28.840
appreciate a second chance to destroy and

21:28.840 --> 21:31.840
but no it's a lot of fun to be here

21:31.840 --> 21:34.840
and see you guys and see how many people are zealous for

21:34.840 --> 21:37.840
soul winning and zealous for hard preaching and you know

21:37.840 --> 21:40.840
I love hard preaching and so without anybody

21:40.840 --> 21:43.840
to show up you know you're just screaming at the wall by yourself.

21:43.840 --> 21:46.840
But we had 46

21:46.840 --> 21:49.840
salvations this afternoon and so praise the Lord

21:49.840 --> 21:52.840
for the work out there, for people that are zealous that

21:52.840 --> 21:55.840
you know that's all we can take with us to heaven anyways is the souls

21:55.840 --> 21:58.840
and so that's what really matters.

21:58.840 --> 22:01.840
And you know when you get 46 people saved people get upset

22:01.840 --> 22:04.840
people that are not Christian, people that don't like

22:04.840 --> 22:07.840
Christianity of course the devil doesn't like it and sometimes

22:07.840 --> 22:10.840
people just kind of lose their mind.

22:10.840 --> 22:13.840
And that's really what I want to preach about this evening is this idea of

22:13.840 --> 22:16.840
Christian Derangement Syndrome.

22:16.840 --> 22:19.840
Now I'm stealing the idea of Trump Derangement Syndrome

22:19.840 --> 22:22.840
who's ever heard of this Trump Derangement Syndrome idea?

22:22.840 --> 22:25.840
This idea where people just lose their minds

22:25.840 --> 22:28.840
and they basically just hate Trump and they get

22:28.840 --> 22:31.840
obsessed with Trump and just everything's about Trump

22:31.840 --> 22:34.840
to these people. But really we see this is a concept

22:34.840 --> 22:37.840
in the Bible where people are losing their minds

22:37.840 --> 22:40.840
about Christians and they basically just get

22:40.840 --> 22:43.840
obsessed with Christians and they hate Christians

22:43.840 --> 22:46.840
and they persecute Christians and they follow them around

22:46.840 --> 22:49.840
and it's just unfortunate that you see people just losing

22:49.840 --> 22:52.840
their minds and what I call chimping out

22:52.840 --> 22:55.840
at Christians.

22:55.840 --> 22:58.840
Now I really only have one point for this evening

22:58.840 --> 23:01.840
and the Bible I think gives a really clear reason

23:01.840 --> 23:04.840
why people are doing this and we're going to see this consistent

23:04.840 --> 23:07.840
theme in the scripture but it's because of envy

23:07.840 --> 23:10.840
that people lose their minds and I want to look at this verse

23:10.840 --> 23:13.840
4 of the Bible. It says wrath is cruel and anger

23:13.840 --> 23:16.840
is outrageous but who is able to stand

23:16.840 --> 23:19.840
before envy? Basically the Bible is

23:19.840 --> 23:22.840
making it clear that envy is this

23:22.840 --> 23:25.840
idea that gets inside of you where it's like uncontrollable.

23:25.840 --> 23:28.840
It's saying you know obviously wrath

23:28.840 --> 23:31.840
is bad, you don't want someone to be mad at you and punishing you.

23:31.840 --> 23:34.840
Someone that's angry at you, it can cause you to go out

23:34.840 --> 23:37.840
of control or lose control but it's basically just saying

23:37.840 --> 23:40.840
like envy is just a very destructive

23:40.840 --> 23:43.840
attitude, it's a destructive disease of the mind

23:43.840 --> 23:46.840
and when people get this envious

23:46.840 --> 23:49.840
bug in their hearts and their minds you often see

23:49.840 --> 23:52.840
them doing crazy things, violent things,

23:52.840 --> 23:55.840
they're filled with obsession and

23:55.840 --> 23:58.840
harassment and it's just a very ugly sin.

23:58.840 --> 24:01.840
Look at chapter 14, go back to chapter number 14

24:01.840 --> 24:04.840
and you know just because the unsaved

24:04.840 --> 24:07.840
can model these behaviors, even saved people

24:07.840 --> 24:10.840
can also get envious and we need to be careful

24:10.840 --> 24:13.840
that we as Christians don't become envious

24:13.840 --> 24:16.840
of our neighbor, envious of

24:16.840 --> 24:19.840
other Christians. You know we talk about getting

24:19.840 --> 24:22.840
46 people saved, you know maybe someone

24:22.840 --> 24:25.840
greatly contributed to that, we shouldn't be envious

24:25.840 --> 24:28.840
of someone getting more salvations or doing more

24:28.840 --> 24:31.840
work for the Lord, we should be happy for them, we should be excited

24:31.840 --> 24:34.840
for the kingdom of God increasing, we shouldn't be envious

24:34.840 --> 24:37.840
of our neighbor, of their wife, of their house, of their car,

24:37.840 --> 24:40.840
of whatever it is that they have, you know it will cause us

24:40.840 --> 24:43.840
to go down a dark path. The Bible says

24:43.840 --> 24:46.840
in Proverbs chapter 14 verse 30

24:46.840 --> 24:49.840
he that is slow to wrath is of great understanding

24:49.840 --> 24:52.840
I'm sorry I'm not reading the verse, verse 30 I'm sorry

24:52.840 --> 24:55.840
a sound heart is the light of the flesh but

24:55.840 --> 24:58.840
envy the rottenness of the bones

24:58.840 --> 25:01.840
and it's basically saying that envy will destroy you from within

25:01.840 --> 25:04.840
it's a self destructive attitude

25:04.840 --> 25:07.840
it's a self destructive ideology and people often

25:07.840 --> 25:10.840
are going to make really bad decisions

25:10.840 --> 25:13.840
because of envy. Now let's look at a lot of examples, I want to just kind of

25:13.840 --> 25:16.840
go through the Bible quickly, go to 1 John chapter number 3

25:16.840 --> 25:19.840
I hope you're ready to turn, we're going to turn to a lot of different places quickly

25:19.840 --> 25:22.840
but I just want to look at several stories quickly

25:22.840 --> 25:25.840
in the Bible where we see people just losing their minds

25:25.840 --> 25:28.840
about other Christians, it says in 1 John chapter 3

25:28.840 --> 25:31.840
look at verse number 11

25:31.840 --> 25:34.840
for this is the message that you have heard from the beginning that we should love one another

25:34.840 --> 25:37.840
not as Cain who is of that wicked one

25:37.840 --> 25:40.840
and slew his brother and wherefore slew E.M.

25:40.840 --> 25:43.840
because his own works were evil

25:43.840 --> 25:46.840
and his brother's righteous. Marvel not my brethren

25:46.840 --> 25:49.840
if the world hate you

25:49.840 --> 25:52.840
why is the world going to hate you because you're righteous

25:52.840 --> 25:55.840
and they're not righteous. Go back to Genesis 4

25:55.840 --> 25:58.840
and let's read this story about Cain and Abel for a moment

25:58.840 --> 26:01.840
let's go all the way back to the beginning and read this story

26:01.840 --> 26:04.840
what is Cain envious of? He's envious

26:04.840 --> 26:07.840
of God's blessing and God's favor

26:07.840 --> 26:10.840
on Abel. Specifically one of these

26:10.840 --> 26:13.840
would be salvation itself and you know what

26:13.840 --> 26:16.840
the unsaved are envious of the saved

26:16.840 --> 26:19.840
why? Because we're saved

26:19.840 --> 26:22.840
because we have salvation because God

26:22.840 --> 26:25.840
actually observes us as being right with him

26:25.840 --> 26:28.840
being righteous, being the children of God and they're envious

26:28.840 --> 26:31.840
of that. They can't stand it that God is pleased

26:31.840 --> 26:34.840
with us. They can't stand it that we're right with God

26:34.840 --> 26:37.840
they can't stand it that God is going to pour out blessings

26:37.840 --> 26:40.840
on his people and so they become very envious of this

26:40.840 --> 26:43.840
Genesis chapter 4 verse 5

26:43.840 --> 26:46.840
but unto Cain and to his offering he had not

26:46.840 --> 26:49.840
respect and Cain was very raw off in his countenance

26:49.840 --> 26:52.840
so they both offer an offering

26:52.840 --> 26:55.840
Abel's offering is a faith it's a picture

26:55.840 --> 26:58.840
of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ the animal

26:58.840 --> 27:01.840
sacrifice he's pointing to the lamb of God

27:01.840 --> 27:04.840
which is going to take away the sins of the world

27:04.840 --> 27:07.840
whereas Cain offers the fruit of the ground which is a picture

27:07.840 --> 27:10.840
of a works based salvation but notice God

27:10.840 --> 27:13.840
is not pleased with works based salvation

27:13.840 --> 27:16.840
God does not have respect for works based salvation

27:16.840 --> 27:19.840
that means God does not respect the Catholic

27:19.840 --> 27:22.840
God does not respect the orthodox God does not respect the Lordship

27:22.840 --> 27:25.840
salvation God only respects the free

27:25.840 --> 27:28.840
gift of salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ

27:28.840 --> 27:31.840
that is the only offering he has respect unto

27:31.840 --> 27:34.840
and so as a result those who are offering

27:34.840 --> 27:37.840
inferior sacrifices will often

27:37.840 --> 27:40.840
become very envious of those who have

27:40.840 --> 27:43.840
the righteous sacrifice who have the right

27:43.840 --> 27:46.840
offering to give unto the Lord which is the Lord

27:46.840 --> 27:49.840
Jesus Christ which is faith in Jesus Christ

27:49.840 --> 27:52.840
and they get mad at the fact that they are

27:52.840 --> 27:55.840
not respected notice that Cain became very

27:55.840 --> 27:58.840
angry very raw off in his countenance fell and the Lord said unto

27:58.840 --> 28:01.840
Cain why art thou raw off and why is thy countenance

28:01.840 --> 28:04.840
fallen if thou doest well shalt thou not

28:04.840 --> 28:07.840
be accepted and if thou doest not well sin lieth

28:07.840 --> 28:10.840
of the door and unto thee shall be his desire and thou shalt rule over him

28:10.840 --> 28:13.840
and Cain talked with Abel his brother and it came to pass

28:13.840 --> 28:16.840
when they were in the field that Cain rose up against

28:16.840 --> 28:19.840
Abel his brother and slew him

28:19.840 --> 28:22.840
I mean Abel has never done anything wrong to Cain that we know of

28:22.840 --> 28:25.840
we have no reason for Cain

28:25.840 --> 28:28.840
to kill Abel and the Bible even explicitly tells us

28:28.840 --> 28:31.840
in the New Testament hey what happened between

28:31.840 --> 28:34.840
these two guys what was the major conflict

28:34.840 --> 28:37.840
well it was just the fact that Abel was righteous

28:37.840 --> 28:40.840
that Cain killed him he just couldn't stand the fact

28:40.840 --> 28:43.840
that Abel did that which is right he couldn't stand the fact

28:43.840 --> 28:46.840
that Abel was justified by the imputed

28:46.840 --> 28:49.840
righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ and you know what

28:49.840 --> 28:52.840
he wanted to slay him and he wanted to kill him and he just

28:52.840 --> 28:55.840
chipped out on him why because he was saved

28:55.840 --> 28:58.840
the Christian derangement syndrome they just see a saved

28:58.840 --> 29:01.840
person and instead of saying hey Abel I want to be saved like

29:01.840 --> 29:04.840
you can you give me the gospel can you tell me how to be saved

29:04.840 --> 29:07.840
he kills him he just murders them in cold blood

29:07.840 --> 29:10.840
go to first Samuel chapter 18 go to first Samuel chapter number 18

29:10.840 --> 29:13.840
you know if you're a Christian if you're saved

29:13.840 --> 29:16.840
people will get mad at you just for your beliefs

29:16.840 --> 29:19.840
in Christianity whether you're

29:19.840 --> 29:22.840
provocative or not I think that a lot of people

29:22.840 --> 29:25.840
would say oh well you get a lot of attention pastor Selle

29:25.840 --> 29:28.840
because you're very provocative you say a lot of mean

29:28.840 --> 29:31.840
harsh hateful things but you know you'll meet sweet

29:31.840 --> 29:34.840
little ladies you'll meet women that are just going

29:34.840 --> 29:37.840
out there they're just being kind and nice and they're trying to give

29:37.840 --> 29:40.840
the gospel and they'll be met with all kinds of vicious

29:40.840 --> 29:43.840
hatred and anger and harassment

29:43.840 --> 29:46.840
I mean my wife got cited by police this

29:46.840 --> 29:49.840
week for going out and giving the gospel the cops

29:49.840 --> 29:52.840
and police officers just cited her and gave her

29:52.840 --> 29:55.840
a criminal trespass warning just for going out and preaching the gospel

29:55.840 --> 29:58.840
and it wasn't because they were like oh you're pastor Selle's wife

29:58.840 --> 30:01.840
aren't you no no just going out being nice

30:01.840 --> 30:04.840
trying to give the gospel to people in their apartment complexes

30:04.840 --> 30:07.840
why because you know what they just hate the fact that people

30:07.840 --> 30:10.840
are getting saved they just there's people out there

30:10.840 --> 30:13.840
and of course it's the Karen apartment manager out there

30:13.840 --> 30:16.840
that's harassing them and attacking them and wanting

30:16.840 --> 30:19.840
them to not give the gospel and get people saved I mean they were

30:19.840 --> 30:22.840
in the middle of giving some guy the gospel and they

30:22.840 --> 30:25.840
got the police officer literally dragged them out of preaching the gospel

30:25.840 --> 30:28.840
and stopped them from presenting the gospel to this person

30:28.840 --> 30:31.840
not harassing anyone not harming them

30:31.840 --> 30:34.840
just people losing their minds at you getting someone saved

30:34.840 --> 30:37.840
when we were in the Bahamas I remember we were preaching the gospel

30:37.840 --> 30:40.840
to young students that were leaving from the school

30:40.840 --> 30:43.840
and people would just drive by and sometimes they would just

30:43.840 --> 30:46.840
chimp out at us you know out the window they're like

30:46.840 --> 30:49.840
we got our own religion mon

30:49.840 --> 30:52.840
we got our own religion mon

30:52.840 --> 30:55.840
hey what are you doing I'm like bro go back to Jamaica we're in the Bahamas

30:55.840 --> 30:58.840
you know what I mean and he's like

30:58.840 --> 31:01.840
they don't want to listen and then the little girls

31:01.840 --> 31:04.840
they're like yes we do

31:04.840 --> 31:07.840
but it's just so funny I've never met this person in my life

31:07.840 --> 31:10.840
you know this person just driving by

31:10.840 --> 31:13.840
just see us giving the gospel to young

31:13.840 --> 31:16.840
students trying to get them saved and they just lose their mind

31:16.840 --> 31:19.840
they get mad they get angry

31:19.840 --> 31:22.840
you know I've been in areas where I'm preaching the gospel and the black

31:22.840 --> 31:25.840
Hebrew Israelites who get

31:25.840 --> 31:28.840
so angry and they really chimp out

31:28.840 --> 31:31.840
and I'm saying like hey

31:31.840 --> 31:34.840
I'm just here to give the gospel like I don't want your white man religion

31:34.840 --> 31:37.840
sorry

31:37.840 --> 31:40.840
his hair and his head were white

31:40.840 --> 31:43.840
as revelation you know

31:43.840 --> 31:46.840
if you didn't get that joke you can find it later

31:46.840 --> 31:49.840
but here's the reality hey you know I'm just out here giving the gospel

31:49.840 --> 31:52.840
they reject it I move on but then I go talk to someone else

31:52.840 --> 31:55.840
in their neighborhood they follow you around they yell at you

31:55.840 --> 31:58.840
they scream at you they're just so mad

31:58.840 --> 32:01.840
they're just so angry they're so vitriolic

32:01.840 --> 32:04.840
and if they could get away with it they'd probably just pull a cane and murder you

32:04.840 --> 32:07.840
and you say like why are people doing this

32:07.840 --> 32:10.840
because they're envious of you having salvation

32:10.840 --> 32:13.840
they're envious of you being saved they're envious of you being right with God

32:13.840 --> 32:16.840
now even the saved though can get this bug

32:16.840 --> 32:19.840
even the saved can get envious

32:19.840 --> 32:22.840
and start getting mad I think King Saul

32:22.840 --> 32:25.840
is one of those examples look at verse number five

32:25.840 --> 32:28.840
and David went out

32:28.840 --> 32:31.840
whithersoever Saul sent him and behaved himself wisely

32:31.840 --> 32:34.840
and Saul set him over the men of war

32:34.840 --> 32:37.840
and he was accepted in the sight of all the people

32:37.840 --> 32:40.840
and also in the sight of Saul's servants so David kills Goliath

32:40.840 --> 32:43.840
redeems Israel they have great triumph over all their enemies

32:43.840 --> 32:46.840
he appoints David in a position of authority

32:46.840 --> 32:49.840
and everyone loves David everyone likes David

32:49.840 --> 32:52.840
I mean we're talking about the best guy you could ever have on your staff

32:52.840 --> 32:55.840
I mean in every way is perfect right

32:55.840 --> 32:58.840
verse six and it came to pass as they came when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine

32:58.840 --> 33:01.840
that the women came out of all the cities of Israel singing and dancing

33:01.840 --> 33:04.840
to meet King Saul with tabernets with joy and with innuendo

33:04.840 --> 33:07.840
and the women answered one another as they played and said Saul

33:07.840 --> 33:10.840
had slain his thousands and David

33:10.840 --> 33:13.840
his ten thousands

33:13.840 --> 33:16.840
so they're saying look Saul did a great job he's killed thousands

33:16.840 --> 33:19.840
but man David he's killed ten thousands and this is awesome

33:19.840 --> 33:22.840
what does it say in verse number eight

33:22.840 --> 33:25.840
and Saul was very wroth and the saying

33:25.840 --> 33:28.840
displeased him look he's being praised

33:28.840 --> 33:31.840
did they say anything wrong?

33:31.840 --> 33:34.840
look he's being praised did they say anything negative about Saul?

33:34.840 --> 33:37.840
no but what's the problem he's not number one

33:37.840 --> 33:40.840
and there are so many people in this world

33:40.840 --> 33:43.840
that they cannot stand it unless they are number one

33:43.840 --> 33:46.840
they can't be number two

33:46.840 --> 33:49.840
and look this is just a saying

33:49.840 --> 33:52.840
he is still number one literally he's still the king

33:52.840 --> 33:55.840
he's still the guy in charge he's still the one

33:55.840 --> 33:58.840
getting all the recognition all the power all the wealth

33:58.840 --> 34:01.840
it's just oh man there's some women over here

34:01.840 --> 34:04.840
that like David a little bit more than me

34:04.840 --> 34:07.840
and so it just irks Saul so much why?

34:07.840 --> 34:10.840
because of envy you know what?

34:10.840 --> 34:13.840
envy is rottenness as in the bones it's like a cancer

34:13.840 --> 34:16.840
it will destroy you it will harm you

34:16.840 --> 34:19.840
and you can be saved you can be little in your own sight

34:19.840 --> 34:22.840
but boy you get this envy bug and it will crush you

34:22.840 --> 34:25.840
and I tell you what there are people in this world

34:25.840 --> 34:28.840
they cannot stand being number two in the world

34:28.840 --> 34:31.840
I mean you get the silver medal

34:31.840 --> 34:34.840
in the Olympics and you can't handle it

34:34.840 --> 34:37.840
you're so dissatisfied because you didn't get the

34:37.840 --> 34:40.840
quote gold medal I mean how many people

34:40.840 --> 34:43.840
don't even get to perform in the Olympics

34:43.840 --> 34:46.840
how many people don't get to even have an attempt

34:46.840 --> 34:49.840
let alone get second place I mean second place is great

34:49.840 --> 34:52.840
second place is a wonderful achievement

34:52.840 --> 34:55.840
being the king of Israel is a great honor and a great privilege

34:55.840 --> 34:58.840
you know what it's not enough for king Saul he has to be number one

34:58.840 --> 35:01.840
why? because of envy because envy

35:01.840 --> 35:04.840
is never satisfied that's why you don't want to get

35:04.840 --> 35:07.840
the envy bug envy is never satisfied

35:07.840 --> 35:10.840
no matter where it is it can never have enough

35:10.840 --> 35:13.840
it will never be placated and so that's why

35:13.840 --> 35:16.840
you have to get rid of envy immediately in our hearts

35:16.840 --> 35:19.840
and in our minds now what does the bible say about

35:19.840 --> 35:22.840
Saul it says in verse 9

35:43.840 --> 35:46.840
what does the bible say? Saul wants to kill David

35:46.840 --> 35:49.840
now Cain was successful Cain literally killed Abel

35:49.840 --> 35:52.840
but Saul attempted at least twice here

35:52.840 --> 35:55.840
with the javelin to kill his neighbor meaning what

35:55.840 --> 35:58.840
that a saved person can in many times

35:58.840 --> 36:01.840
exhibit the same behaviors as an unsaved person

36:01.840 --> 36:04.840
you know some people think like oh someone that would commit murder

36:04.840 --> 36:07.840
they can't even be saved well that's not true

36:07.840 --> 36:10.840
king Saul is for sure saved and yet

36:10.840 --> 36:13.840
he wants to murder his own brother and not only does he want to murder

36:13.840 --> 36:16.840
someone he wants to murder arguably the

36:16.840 --> 36:19.840
greatest person on the planet he wants to murder

36:19.840 --> 36:22.840
the man after God's own art he wants to murder a guy that's very humble

36:22.840 --> 36:25.840
and loves Saul greatly and would

36:25.840 --> 36:28.840
defend Saul and would go to the death for Saul he wants to

36:28.840 --> 36:31.840
kill this guy that's loyal to him that loves

36:31.840 --> 36:34.840
him that's only done good for him that's great for the nation

36:34.840 --> 36:37.840
that's destroying all their enemies and he just hates

36:37.840 --> 36:40.840
David why? because of envy and it's this

36:40.840 --> 36:43.840
Christian derangement syndrome where you look at David and you just

36:43.840 --> 36:46.840
chimp out and you just lose all control because of what?

36:46.840 --> 36:49.840
because of envy it's crazy

36:49.840 --> 36:52.840
look at chapter 20 verse 30 chapter 20 verse 30

36:52.840 --> 36:55.840
and you know what if you serve God if you do

36:55.840 --> 36:58.840
what's right you will have people in your life

36:58.840 --> 37:01.840
just lose their mind about you you know you have a kid

37:01.840 --> 37:04.840
and they wanted a kid they could just lose their mind

37:04.840 --> 37:07.840
about it you know God blesses you and you have

37:07.840 --> 37:10.840
lots of kids people could just hate you because you have lots of kids

37:10.840 --> 37:13.840
you young single guys over here all 50 of you

37:13.840 --> 37:16.840
fighting for the one single girl that shows up

37:16.840 --> 37:19.840
you could be like man this is my best friend

37:19.840 --> 37:22.840
but then he gets the girl and now all of a sudden you don't like him or whatever

37:22.840 --> 37:25.840
you know hey why wouldn't be

37:25.840 --> 37:28.840
happy for your brother that he got a nice wife right?

37:28.840 --> 37:31.840
isn't the bible saying not to covet thy neighbor's wife or to

37:31.840 --> 37:34.840
covet his car or to covet his house or to cover his

37:34.840 --> 37:37.840
ass or his ox or whatever?

37:37.840 --> 37:40.840
yet this whole world is just constantly envious of one another

37:40.840 --> 37:43.840
and always hoping to have something that is not theirs

37:43.840 --> 37:46.840
and you know what it's a dangerous dangerous attitude

37:46.840 --> 37:49.840
first hand with chapter 20 look at verse 30

37:49.840 --> 37:52.840
then Saul's anger was

37:52.840 --> 37:55.840
kindled against Jonathan now I'm just kind of

37:55.840 --> 37:58.840
skipping through the stories I'm not necessarily giving all the stories but

37:58.840 --> 38:01.840
you know when we talk about Saul he had a son named

38:01.840 --> 38:04.840
Jonathan and he even gets angry at his own son Jonathan

38:04.840 --> 38:07.840
for what? for just being friends with David

38:07.840 --> 38:10.840
that says in Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan he said to him thou

38:10.840 --> 38:13.840
son of the perverse rebellious woman

38:13.840 --> 38:16.840
do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own confusion

38:16.840 --> 38:19.840
and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness

38:19.840 --> 38:22.840
for as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground thou should not be established

38:22.840 --> 38:25.840
nor thy kingdom wherefore now send and fetch

38:25.840 --> 38:28.840
him unto me for he shall surely die and Jonathan answers

38:28.840 --> 38:31.840
to Saul's father and said to him wherefore shall he be slain

38:31.840 --> 38:34.840
what have he done? and Saul cast a javelin

38:34.840 --> 38:37.840
at him to smite him he's like hey what did David do that's wrong

38:37.840 --> 38:40.840
and then he just throws a spear at him what an answer

38:40.840 --> 38:43.840
what a great rebuttal like hey why should we kill this guy

38:43.840 --> 38:46.840
and then Saul is trying to kill his own son

38:46.840 --> 38:49.840
he's trying to kill his own flesh and blood

38:49.840 --> 38:52.840
another saved Christian why?

38:52.840 --> 38:55.840
just for asking the question why are we killing David

38:55.840 --> 38:58.840
why do you hate David so much?

38:58.840 --> 39:01.840
and you know just as an example of how sometimes people will hate you

39:01.840 --> 39:04.840
just because you're better friends with another person

39:04.840 --> 39:07.840
boy it'll happen they'll be ladies

39:07.840 --> 39:10.840
they want to be friends with some lady

39:10.840 --> 39:13.840
and because they're not then they hate

39:13.840 --> 39:16.840
all the ladies that are actually friends with her

39:16.840 --> 39:19.840
you know there's guys out there

39:19.840 --> 39:22.840
they just want to be Pastor Anderson's friends so bad

39:23.840 --> 39:26.840
they're so obsessed with it

39:26.840 --> 39:29.840
and then they just hate anybody that's actually his friend

39:29.840 --> 39:32.840
why? just because they're friends with Pastor Anderson

39:32.840 --> 39:35.840
you know they're just friends with whoever they just have to hate somebody

39:35.840 --> 39:38.840
I mean why do you hate Jonathan? what has Jonathan done this wrong?

39:38.840 --> 39:41.840
he likes David right? he's friends with David

39:41.840 --> 39:44.840
and that's unacceptable for Saul he cannot be his friend

39:44.840 --> 39:47.840
you know what you'll see pastors out there in this world

39:47.840 --> 39:50.840
they'll be like you're not allowed to go to a certain conference

39:50.840 --> 39:53.840
you're not allowed to like certain preachers

39:53.840 --> 39:56.840
you're not allowed to listen to their sermons

39:56.840 --> 39:59.840
you're not allowed to go to their churches you're not allowed to wear their shirts

39:59.840 --> 40:02.840
you're not allowed to listen to their techno music you know what I mean?

40:02.840 --> 40:05.840
they just lose their mind and they basically have to helicopter parrot you

40:05.840 --> 40:08.840
because you're just not allowed to like certain people

40:08.840 --> 40:11.840
even if they're saved and then you ask this question

40:11.840 --> 40:14.840
what have they done and it's just a spear thrown at you

40:14.840 --> 40:17.840
it's like well why am I not allowed to like this guy

40:17.840 --> 40:20.840
well I'm not going to explain any reason to you except for

40:20.840 --> 40:23.840
he's a malefactor right?

40:23.840 --> 40:26.840
if you were not a malefactor we would not have delivered him unto you

40:26.840 --> 40:29.840
well that's not a very good answer is it?

40:29.840 --> 40:32.840
go to Matthew 28 in the New Testament

40:32.840 --> 40:35.840
just showing you some quick examples

40:35.840 --> 40:38.840
we'll start naming some names and get real specific here in a minute

40:38.840 --> 40:41.840
I just wanted to kind of show you what the Bible teaches on this issue

40:41.840 --> 40:44.840
and we see this envy constantly popping up

40:45.840 --> 40:48.840
people they get very envious of Christians

40:48.840 --> 40:51.840
they get very envious of relationships, they get envious of wives

40:51.840 --> 40:54.840
they get envious of money, they get envious of fame

40:54.840 --> 40:57.840
power, and really when we think about

40:57.840 --> 41:00.840
from a Christian perspective

41:00.840 --> 41:03.840
why is it that these people are just so mad, why do they lose their mind?

41:03.840 --> 41:06.840
well they're envious of the salvation that we have

41:06.840 --> 41:09.840
they're envious of the attention that other people get

41:09.840 --> 41:12.840
they're envious of the blessing that comes from God

41:12.840 --> 41:15.840
they're envious of the works that come from God

41:15.840 --> 41:18.840
they're envious of the wisdom that comes from God

41:18.840 --> 41:21.840
and they're envious of the power that comes from God

41:21.840 --> 41:24.840
and we see a lot of people just getting so mad and angry

41:24.840 --> 41:27.840
at this, you know the Jews themselves

41:27.840 --> 41:30.840
why did they kill Jesus?

41:30.840 --> 41:33.840
why did they deliver him to be killed?

41:33.840 --> 41:36.840
well the Bible answers the question, Matthew 27, look at verse 18

41:36.840 --> 41:39.840
for he knew that for envy they had delivered him

41:39.840 --> 41:42.840
the reason is that the Jews delivered Jesus

41:42.840 --> 41:45.840
to be killed, it was for envy

41:45.840 --> 41:48.840
who can stand before envy?

41:48.840 --> 41:51.840
envy will cause you to go down a murderous destructive path

41:51.840 --> 41:54.840
go to Acts chapter 16

41:54.840 --> 41:57.840
go to Acts chapter 16

41:57.840 --> 42:00.840
we're going to dance around the book of Acts for a moment here

42:00.840 --> 42:03.840
and we're going to see a consistent theme again of envy

42:03.840 --> 42:06.840
being the common thread

42:06.840 --> 42:09.840
why do people lose their mind against Christians?

42:09.840 --> 42:12.840
why do they lose their mind against those that do that right?

42:12.840 --> 42:15.840
you know what, you tell the truth at the job site

42:15.840 --> 42:18.840
and someone at the job site will get mad at you and lie about you

42:18.840 --> 42:21.840
you try to go to a good church

42:21.840 --> 42:24.840
you try to serve God with your family, you'll have family members

42:24.840 --> 42:27.840
just lie about you for no reason, why?

42:27.840 --> 42:30.840
because they're envious of the fact that you go to a good church

42:30.840 --> 42:33.840
they're envious of the fact that your wife actually obeys you

42:33.840 --> 42:36.840
is actually going to have children with you?

42:36.840 --> 42:39.840
I know men in my life where they wanted to have more kids

42:39.840 --> 42:42.840
and their wife told them no and made them get snipped

42:42.840 --> 42:45.840
wow, I would be pretty envious

42:45.840 --> 42:48.840
if I was that guy of the one that can tell his wife what to do

42:48.840 --> 42:51.840
rather than his wife telling him to get snipped

42:51.840 --> 42:54.840
think about the feminism that's going on in this country

42:54.840 --> 42:57.840
think about the feminism that's going on in this country

42:57.840 --> 43:00.840
I think there's some people that are envious of the fact

43:00.840 --> 43:03.840
that you're going to go to a church where your manhood is going to stay intact

43:03.840 --> 43:06.840
after you hear the sermon

43:06.840 --> 43:09.840
instead of going to some non-denominational fun center

43:09.840 --> 43:12.840
where you're going to hear a bunch of feminism being preached

43:12.840 --> 43:15.840
where you're going to hear lies and deceit

43:15.840 --> 43:18.840
and you know what, they're just envious of the fact that you're still a man

43:18.840 --> 43:21.840
they're envious of the fact that you actually provide for your entire family

43:21.840 --> 43:24.840
and you know what, he that has the gold makes the rules

43:24.840 --> 43:27.840
yeah, I get to decide what's right for my house

43:27.840 --> 43:30.840
my wife's body, my choice

43:30.840 --> 43:33.840
you know, they're just envious of that

43:33.840 --> 43:36.840
they get mad about that, they lose their mind that you have all these wonderful beautiful children that love God

43:36.840 --> 43:39.840
they get mad at the fact that I could open my Bible

43:39.840 --> 43:42.840
and show someone the Gospel and get them saved

43:42.840 --> 43:45.840
they get mad at the fact that you have the Bible memorized

43:45.840 --> 43:48.840
they get mad at what you're doing for God

43:48.840 --> 43:51.840
and they'll lie about you, they'll attack you

43:51.840 --> 43:54.840
they'll harass you, they'll stalk you

43:54.840 --> 43:57.840
they'll separate from you, why?

43:57.840 --> 44:00.840
because they're envious of your relationship with God, that's why

44:00.840 --> 44:03.840
Acts chapter number 16, you see the Apostle Paul

44:03.840 --> 44:06.840
and you see his partner going through the town

44:06.840 --> 44:09.840
just doing good, and then just out of nowhere

44:09.840 --> 44:12.840
verse 16, and it came to pass

44:12.840 --> 44:15.840
as we went to prayer, a certain damsel

44:15.840 --> 44:18.840
possessed with the spirit of divination met us

44:18.840 --> 44:21.840
which brought her masters much gained by suing

44:21.840 --> 44:24.840
and the same followed Paul and us and cried saying

44:24.840 --> 44:27.840
these men are the servants of the most high God

44:27.840 --> 44:30.840
which show unto us the way of salvation

44:30.840 --> 44:33.840
why is she mad?

44:33.840 --> 44:36.840
why is she screaming?

44:36.840 --> 44:39.840
because they're showing people how to be saved, right?

44:39.840 --> 44:42.840
I mean isn't that what the text is saying?

44:42.840 --> 44:45.840
she's mad that these guys are the servants of God

44:45.840 --> 44:48.840
showing people how to be saved

44:48.840 --> 44:51.840
that's a pretty good thing for people to say about you

44:51.840 --> 44:54.840
and it says in verse 18, and this did she many days

44:54.840 --> 44:57.840
but Paul being grieved turned and said to the spirit

44:57.840 --> 45:00.840
I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her

45:00.840 --> 45:03.840
and he came out the same hour

45:03.840 --> 45:06.840
so this woman is just losing her mind

45:06.840 --> 45:09.840
just following these guys around, stalking them

45:09.840 --> 45:12.840
harassing them, screaming about them

45:12.840 --> 45:15.840
I mean it's just weird when women are just stalking men

45:15.840 --> 45:18.840
harassing them and just losing their mind

45:18.840 --> 45:21.840
she has this demonic spirit just influencing her

45:21.840 --> 45:24.840
to just be obsessed with the apostle Paul

45:24.840 --> 45:27.840
just be obsessed with these particular Christians

45:27.840 --> 45:30.840
then finally she gets cured of her demon

45:30.840 --> 45:33.840
and what does it say in verse 19, when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone

45:33.840 --> 45:36.840
they caught Paul and Silas and drew them into the marketplace

45:36.840 --> 45:39.840
and the rulers and brought them to the magistrates saying

45:39.840 --> 45:42.840
these men being Jews do exceedingly

45:42.840 --> 45:45.840
what did they do to harm the city?

45:45.840 --> 45:48.840
they're getting people saved and they cast out a devil

45:48.840 --> 45:51.840
that's it, how are they exceedingly

45:51.840 --> 45:54.840
troubling the city?

45:54.840 --> 45:57.840
yet again why do they make up these lies?

45:57.840 --> 46:00.840
because of envy, because they lost their monetary gain

46:00.840 --> 46:03.840
because they don't care about anyone

46:03.840 --> 46:06.840
and we just see a consistent theme of people just losing their mind

46:06.840 --> 46:09.840
over people doing the right thing

46:09.840 --> 46:12.840
verse 19

46:12.840 --> 46:15.840
we could just read the whole book of Acts

46:15.840 --> 46:18.840
and it's just the same story, people just losing their minds

46:18.840 --> 46:21.840
Acts chapter 13, look at verse 43

46:21.840 --> 46:24.840
now when the congregation was broken up

46:24.840 --> 46:27.840
many of the Jews and religious proselytes

46:27.840 --> 46:30.840
followed Paul and Barnabas who speaking to them

46:30.840 --> 46:33.840
persuaded them to continue in the grace of God

46:33.840 --> 46:36.840
and the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together

46:36.840 --> 46:39.840
but when the Jews saw the multitudes

46:39.840 --> 46:42.840
they were, notice this, filled with envy

46:42.840 --> 46:45.840
and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul

46:45.840 --> 46:48.840
contradicting and blaspheming

46:48.840 --> 46:51.840
notice why is it that they get so mad at Paul

46:51.840 --> 46:54.840
it's because as soon as Paul shows up

46:54.840 --> 46:57.840
the whole city wants to hear the word of God

46:57.840 --> 47:00.840
lots of people are getting saved

47:00.840 --> 47:03.840
they're just drawing in all kinds of different people

47:03.840 --> 47:06.840
and they're just coming in and they just get so mad

47:06.840 --> 47:09.840
at the fact that what, now they have a crowd

47:09.840 --> 47:12.840
now they have attention, they're envious of the attention

47:12.840 --> 47:15.840
they're envious of the crowd, they're envious of the multitude

47:15.840 --> 47:18.840
they don't actually want the truth

47:18.840 --> 47:21.840
they don't actually want the gospel, they don't want to hear what God has to say

47:21.840 --> 47:24.840
they just want attention for attention's sake

47:24.840 --> 47:27.840
go to chapter 8 and look at verse 18

47:27.840 --> 47:30.840
chapter 8, verse number 18

47:30.840 --> 47:33.840
there's a guy who had bewitched the people

47:33.840 --> 47:36.840
through sorcery

47:36.840 --> 47:39.840
then you have the men of God

47:39.840 --> 47:42.840
going and preaching the word of God and getting people saved

47:42.840 --> 47:45.840
specifically Philip

47:45.840 --> 47:48.840
and then they bring in the apostles themselves

47:48.840 --> 47:51.840
who have the special gifting of being able to lay hands on people

47:51.840 --> 47:54.840
and they were filled with the Holy Ghost

47:54.840 --> 47:57.840
and we see the signs of the apostles being poured out

47:57.840 --> 48:00.840
of the hands of God actually being shown through man

48:00.840 --> 48:03.840
and this man Simon sees this

48:03.840 --> 48:06.840
and he wants that power, and what does the bible say in verse 18?

48:06.840 --> 48:09.840
and when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles hands

48:09.840 --> 48:12.840
the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money

48:12.840 --> 48:15.840
now there's a term today called semeny

48:15.840 --> 48:18.840
and it's basically named after this guy

48:18.840 --> 48:21.840
it's like basically selling the things of God for money

48:21.840 --> 48:24.840
and of course what is Peter's response

48:24.840 --> 48:27.840
to this particular response, well let's read verse 19

48:27.840 --> 48:30.840
he says, saying, give me also this power

48:30.840 --> 48:33.840
that on whomsoever I lay hands he may receive the Holy Ghost

48:33.840 --> 48:36.840
but Peter said to them, thy money perish with thee

48:36.840 --> 48:39.840
because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased

48:39.840 --> 48:42.840
with money

48:42.840 --> 48:45.840
thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter for thy heart is not right

48:45.840 --> 48:48.840
in the sight of God

48:48.840 --> 48:51.840
repent therefore of this thy wickedness

48:51.840 --> 48:54.840
and that's the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee

48:54.840 --> 48:57.840
notice the envy in Simon's heart causes him

48:57.840 --> 49:00.840
to want to purchase this power

49:00.840 --> 49:03.840
not because he cares about the things of God

49:03.840 --> 49:06.840
not because he wants the Gentiles we fill with the Holy Ghost

49:06.840 --> 49:09.840
not because he's right with God, but what, because he just wants attention

49:09.840 --> 49:12.840
he just wants the fame, he just wants the power

49:12.840 --> 49:15.840
for the power's sake, and you know what, it's a wicked thought

49:15.840 --> 49:18.840
it's a wicked idea to try and say, I want to be a man of God

49:18.840 --> 49:21.840
just for the attention

49:21.840 --> 49:24.840
and you know what, there are pastors and preachers in this world

49:24.840 --> 49:27.840
that the only thing they care about is attention

49:27.840 --> 49:30.840
they don't care about getting people saved

49:30.840 --> 49:33.840
they don't care about people getting baptized

49:33.840 --> 49:36.840
they don't care about preaching the right doctrines

49:36.840 --> 49:39.840
they don't care about marriages staying together for the right reasons

49:39.840 --> 49:42.840
you know what, they just want attention

49:42.840 --> 49:45.840
and so you know what, they get up and they lie and they obfuscate

49:45.840 --> 49:48.840
and they use deceit and they use guile

49:48.840 --> 49:51.840
why, because they just want to garner attention today

49:51.840 --> 49:54.840
they just want attention for attention's sake

49:54.840 --> 49:57.840
they want a crowd for a crowd's sake, and they don't actually care about people being saved

49:57.840 --> 50:00.840
you know, you actually have good people coming to their church, they'll cast them out

50:00.840 --> 50:03.840
they'll say, oh you do so and they, oh you use the King James Bible

50:03.840 --> 50:06.840
oh you like the new IFB

50:06.840 --> 50:09.840
and they'll just cast you out, why?

50:09.840 --> 50:12.840
because they don't actually care about people getting saved

50:12.840 --> 50:15.840
they don't actually care about the baptisms, they want the preeminence

50:15.840 --> 50:18.840
they want the attention, they want the glory

50:18.840 --> 50:21.840
and you know what, they lose their mind and they just do dumb things

50:21.840 --> 50:24.840
you know, this guy trying to purchase a position

50:24.840 --> 50:27.840
you know, purchasing a position in the house of God should be forbidden

50:27.840 --> 50:30.840
you know, if you say like, hey we have a position open in the house of God

50:30.840 --> 50:33.840
who's going to fill it?

50:33.840 --> 50:36.840
it shouldn't be the guy that's offering money to fill that position

50:36.840 --> 50:39.840
it's wicked, it's not going to be the guy that's offering money to fill that position

50:40.840 --> 50:43.840
it's wicked, it's someone that's not right with God

50:43.840 --> 50:46.840
you know, it shouldn't be that pastors have to buy their way into the ministry

50:46.840 --> 50:49.840
you know, it's just a wicked idea, wicked thought

50:49.840 --> 50:52.840
and it's not coming from a place of sincerity

50:52.840 --> 50:55.840
it's coming from envy

50:55.840 --> 50:58.840
wanting to be a pastor just so they can have the attention and the title

50:58.840 --> 51:01.840
go to Acts chapter number 7 verse 9

51:01.840 --> 51:04.840
go to Acts chapter number 7 verse 9

51:10.840 --> 51:13.840
I'm not going to read all of the examples

51:13.840 --> 51:16.840
because I just want to get to my application here

51:16.840 --> 51:19.840
you know, apparently some people preach for 59 minutes and 59 seconds

51:19.840 --> 51:22.840
or they preach a little longer and everybody loses their mind

51:25.840 --> 51:28.840
what's the problem?

51:28.840 --> 51:31.840
it's like, we're in the bible to say one hour or less

51:31.840 --> 51:34.840
what kind of tradition is this?

51:34.840 --> 51:37.840
I thought the apostle Paul was long preaching

51:37.840 --> 51:40.840
people are like falling out the window and stuff

51:40.840 --> 51:43.840
I mean, come on

51:43.840 --> 51:46.840
he wore night and day with tears

51:46.840 --> 51:49.840
he's preaching until midnight

51:49.840 --> 51:52.840
he's singing hymns at midnight

51:52.840 --> 51:55.840
I'm not saying we're going to be here at midnight

51:55.840 --> 51:58.840
people will literally get mad if you preach past the time

51:58.840 --> 52:01.840
I remember going to a non-denominational church

52:01.840 --> 52:04.840
that's where I grew up in

52:04.840 --> 52:07.840
the pastor had a literal timer on the stage

52:07.840 --> 52:10.840
it was a stage in the round

52:10.840 --> 52:13.840
so he had like 3 of them

52:13.840 --> 52:16.840
it was 25 minutes, max was allowed to preach for 25 minutes

52:16.840 --> 52:19.840
and it would just count down and he had to land the plane at 25 minutes

52:19.840 --> 52:22.840
so if you're close enough or have the right angle you can see the timer

52:22.840 --> 52:25.840
you can see how he's going to land the plane

52:25.840 --> 52:28.840
and he would even sometimes elude how some people would get a little irritated

52:28.840 --> 52:31.840
or a little mad if he ever went over that 25 minute timer

52:31.840 --> 52:34.840
why? because they were going to miss the Cowboys game on Sunday morning

52:34.840 --> 52:37.840
or they were going to not get their dinner plans

52:37.840 --> 52:40.840
or push back or something like this

52:40.840 --> 52:43.840
it's like, look, this is a weird idea

52:43.840 --> 52:46.840
that we want to box the Word of God into

52:46.840 --> 52:49.840
a specific timeline

52:49.840 --> 52:52.840
don't get mad at a pastor who preaches a little too long

52:52.840 --> 52:55.840
I mean, come on

52:55.840 --> 52:58.840
is that really what's hurting America right now?

52:58.840 --> 53:01.840
is that there's too many pastors preaching a little too long

53:01.840 --> 53:04.840
or is it that we've been going in the wrong direction

53:04.840 --> 53:07.840
maybe we've been going in a different direction

53:07.840 --> 53:10.840
where the sermons just keep getting shorter and shorter

53:10.840 --> 53:13.840
and shorter, I've been in independent fundamental Baptist churches

53:13.840 --> 53:16.840
where the pastor was so afraid of preaching

53:16.840 --> 53:19.840
that they had to have 3 different announcements times

53:19.840 --> 53:22.840
just to try and keep the service as long as the kids program

53:22.840 --> 53:25.840
it was like, well, the sermons only need 15 minutes

53:25.840 --> 53:28.840
it was like, well, the sermons only need 15 minutes

53:28.840 --> 53:31.840
so therefore we have to have 3 announcement times

53:31.840 --> 53:34.840
we have to have like 4 hymns, we have to have like 4 specials

53:34.840 --> 53:37.840
we have to have like all these people getting up

53:37.840 --> 53:40.840
we have to go through some kind of a missionary letter

53:40.840 --> 53:43.840
just so that when we get done with the service

53:43.840 --> 53:46.840
we're not waiting 20 minutes for the kids program to finish

53:46.840 --> 53:49.840
we're waiting 5 minutes for the kids program to finish

53:49.840 --> 53:52.840
it's like, how can you have this book and only want to talk for 15 minutes?

53:52.840 --> 53:55.840
I just don't get it

53:55.840 --> 53:58.840
I don't like this soft message

53:58.840 --> 54:01.840
I want a pastor that feels like he has to trim the message

54:01.840 --> 54:04.840
I want a pastor that feels like he has to trim the message

54:04.840 --> 54:07.840
just to get into the timeline as opposed to saying I have nothing to say

54:07.840 --> 54:10.840
I mean there's so many times you're hearing

54:10.840 --> 54:13.840
a good pastor or a good preacher saying, hey, I'm just going to have to skip this part of my notes

54:13.840 --> 54:16.840
or whatever, and I'm just thinking, let's go back

54:16.840 --> 54:19.840
no, keep going, right?

54:19.840 --> 54:22.840
as opposed to the guy that just runs out of steam after 5 minutes of speaking

54:22.840 --> 54:25.840
as opposed to the guy that just runs out of steam after 5 minutes of speaking

54:25.840 --> 54:28.840
because he has this impressive gift of being able to speak without saying anything at the same time

54:28.840 --> 54:31.840
who knows what I'm talking about

54:31.840 --> 54:34.840
the gift of speaking and saying absolutely nothing

54:34.840 --> 54:37.840
why are we here wasting our time

54:37.840 --> 54:40.840
with you not saying anything?

54:40.840 --> 54:43.840
taking no position

54:43.840 --> 54:46.840
it's just like, hey, is the Bible eternal or not?

54:46.840 --> 54:49.840
it's both

54:49.840 --> 54:52.840
both? what are you talking about? it's both

54:52.840 --> 54:55.840
you know, people that won't take a position on anything

54:55.840 --> 54:58.840
are just dangerous individuals, they're politicians

54:58.840 --> 55:01.840
you want to stay far away from them

55:01.840 --> 55:04.840
hey, I'd rather have a guy that has conviction

55:04.840 --> 55:07.840
and he's a little wrong occasionally than a guy that won't take a side

55:07.840 --> 55:10.840
you know, it's frustrating, it's weird

55:10.840 --> 55:13.840
Acts chapter number 7, look at verse 9, the Bible says this

55:13.840 --> 55:16.840
and the patriarchs moved with envy

55:16.840 --> 55:19.840
sold Joseph into Egypt

55:19.840 --> 55:22.840
but God was with them

55:22.840 --> 55:25.840
now here's the thing, even when people do this to you, I want you to realize that God is still with you

55:25.840 --> 55:28.840
hey, what's the point of this?

55:28.840 --> 55:31.840
why are we talking about this?

55:31.840 --> 55:34.840
because if you serve God, if you're a good Christian, you'll have people lose their mind about you

55:34.840 --> 55:37.840
you'll have people lie about you, attack you, persecute you

55:37.840 --> 55:40.840
you'll have to go through all kinds of obstacles and oppositions

55:40.840 --> 55:43.840
and difficulties, but let me tell you something, God is still with you

55:43.840 --> 55:46.840
yes, the brethren sold Joseph into Egypt

55:46.840 --> 55:49.840
yes, that was a bad thing, yes it was negative

55:49.840 --> 55:52.840
but you know what? they meant for evil, God meant for good

55:52.840 --> 55:55.840
and you know what? some people are like, oh man, I have to switch churches

55:55.840 --> 55:58.840
well how about getting sold into a foreign land

55:58.840 --> 56:01.840
where you know no one, you don't even know the language

56:01.840 --> 56:04.840
you're just a young man, sold into slavery

56:04.840 --> 56:07.840
do you think that was a fun experience?

56:07.840 --> 56:10.840
you know, it's like people in America, they don't even know what persecution is

56:10.840 --> 56:14.840
persecution to them is just that their Starbucks coffee wasn't made right

56:14.840 --> 56:19.840
and it's just like, look folks, Joseph was sold into slavery

56:19.840 --> 56:22.840
into a foreign land where he doesn't even speak the language

56:22.840 --> 56:25.840
then after being a great servant in Potiphar's house

56:25.840 --> 56:29.840
he's lied about by Potiphar's wife, thrown into prison

56:29.840 --> 56:33.840
but you know what? the Bible said God was still with them in the prison too

56:33.840 --> 56:36.840
why do people lose their mind?

56:36.840 --> 56:39.840
they lose their mind because Joseph wanted to be a virgin

56:39.840 --> 56:44.840
look, something that just grinds the gears of the youth today

56:44.840 --> 56:48.840
is a young man that wants to be a virgin

56:48.840 --> 56:51.840
like you will be mocked and ridiculed

56:51.840 --> 56:54.840
if you are a young man, you say, you know what?

56:54.840 --> 56:57.840
I want to go to the wedding altar pure

56:57.840 --> 57:00.840
I want to make sure that I'm not going to be a whoremonger

57:00.840 --> 57:03.840
I want to make sure that I don't sleep around

57:03.840 --> 57:06.840
I want to make sure that I save myself from my wife

57:06.840 --> 57:10.840
you will be made fun of and mocked and ridiculed and lied about

57:10.840 --> 57:13.840
and they will lose their mind, why?

57:13.840 --> 57:16.840
because they're envious of the fact that you did that

57:16.840 --> 57:19.840
they're envious of the fact that you can be with your wife and be happy

57:19.840 --> 57:22.840
because you know what? they're not happy

57:22.840 --> 57:25.840
what fornicator is happy?

57:25.840 --> 57:27.840
they're not happy, they're just a drug addict

57:27.840 --> 57:30.840
it's just a drug addiction because at the end of the day

57:30.840 --> 57:33.840
as soon as you get done with that high, it's over

57:33.840 --> 57:36.840
and it doesn't last and it's not satisfying

57:36.840 --> 57:39.840
you just have to get another fix and another fix and another fix

57:39.840 --> 57:42.840
and it doesn't last, it doesn't work, it's not satisfying

57:42.840 --> 57:45.840
in many cases it wasn't even what it was cracked up to be

57:45.840 --> 57:48.840
hey, you know what's satisfying?

57:48.840 --> 57:51.840
having a real wife that loves you, that's committed to you

57:51.840 --> 57:54.840
that cares about you, that is actually satisfying

57:54.840 --> 57:57.840
the bible says to be satisfied with the wife of thy youth

57:57.840 --> 58:00.840
you're not going to be satisfied with a hooker

58:00.840 --> 58:03.840
you're not going to be satisfied with a whore

58:03.840 --> 58:06.840
you're not going to be satisfied with prostitution

58:06.840 --> 58:09.840
you're not going to be satisfied, oh honey guess what?

58:09.840 --> 58:12.840
I slept with all these hookers and whores, do you want to marry me?

58:12.840 --> 58:15.840
you should be embarrassed and ashamed to have to tell your future wife that

58:15.840 --> 58:18.840
and you know what? don't let this world convince you

58:18.840 --> 58:21.840
I'm going to be this tough guy, yeah yeah

58:21.840 --> 58:24.840
I've been around the block man, yeah

58:24.840 --> 58:27.840
I'm super cool, no it's gross

58:27.840 --> 58:30.840
no it's gross, it's disgusting and don't let them drag you down with them

58:30.840 --> 58:33.840
you try to stay pure

58:33.840 --> 58:36.840
and you know what? what a great testimony for men that say

58:36.840 --> 58:39.840
hey, my first and only is my wife

58:39.840 --> 58:42.840
praise God for those men

58:42.840 --> 58:45.840
we need more men like that and more testimonies like that

58:45.840 --> 58:48.840
and we shouldn't mock or ridicule those men

58:48.840 --> 58:51.840
we should look at them and say wow, what a guy of self control

58:51.840 --> 58:54.840
what a great example, what a great righteousness

58:54.840 --> 58:57.840
we need more young people to follow that example

58:57.840 --> 59:00.840
but I'm telling you

59:00.840 --> 59:03.840
the world will lose its mind, did I have you go to Proverbs 28?

59:03.840 --> 59:06.840
go to Proverbs 28 if you would for me for a moment

59:06.840 --> 59:09.840
let's talk about some examples of people just losing their mind

59:09.840 --> 59:12.840
and you know, sometimes they'll creep in

59:12.840 --> 59:15.840
and pretend that they're like you

59:15.840 --> 59:18.840
one of these guys was a guy named Tyler Doca

59:19.840 --> 59:22.840
who knows what I'm talking about, alright

59:22.840 --> 59:25.840
yeah, okay so there's this guy

59:25.840 --> 59:28.840
that was trying to become a pastor of a church in New York

59:28.840 --> 59:31.840
and he came to an event

59:31.840 --> 59:34.840
a conference that the new IP had had a long time ago

59:34.840 --> 59:37.840
about soul winning, he tried to pretend like he was our buddy

59:37.840 --> 59:40.840
and he liked us and he believed same doctrines as us

59:40.840 --> 59:43.840
well, then we find out he's a flat earther

59:43.840 --> 59:46.840
starts to separate himself

59:46.840 --> 59:49.840
then pretty soon we find out he thinks he's Jesus

59:49.840 --> 59:52.840
okay

59:52.840 --> 59:55.840
not only does this guy think he's Jesus

59:55.840 --> 59:58.840
he thinks that his head is literally the temple of God

59:58.840 --> 01:00:01.840
so he starts making videos with rulers

01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:04.840
measuring his head, trying to prove

01:00:04.840 --> 01:00:07.840
that his head matches the measurements of the Bible

01:00:07.840 --> 01:00:10.840
then he literally gets a tattoo

01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:13.840
here of alpha

01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:16.840
and then a tattoo here of omega

01:00:16.840 --> 01:00:19.840
because he says he's the alpha and the omega

01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:22.840
like, this guy is the biggest anti-Christ

01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:25.840
I've ever heard of in my entire life

01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:28.840
I've never seen or heard of anything like this

01:00:28.840 --> 01:00:31.840
in my mind I would think this guy's got to be

01:00:31.840 --> 01:00:34.840
number one candidate of demon possession

01:00:34.840 --> 01:00:37.840
well we saw an example of a woman that was demon possessed

01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:40.840
and what did she do? She pointed out the servants of the most high God, didn't she?

01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:43.840
and then this guy, this guy, this guy

01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:46.840
this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy

01:00:46.840 --> 01:00:49.840
this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy

01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:52.840
this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy

01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:55.840
this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy

01:00:55.840 --> 01:00:58.840
this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy

01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:01.840
this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy

01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:04.840
this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy

01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:07.840
this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy

01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:10.840
wow, I wonder why the new IFB is his number one enemy

01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:13.840
this demon possessed anti-Christ

01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:16.840
you know why? It's because the new IFB were the servants of the most high God

01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:19.840
bringing salvation to the world

01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:22.840
it's that simple. Why do we see people losing their minds literally?

01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:25.840
as a punishment for going against the things of God

01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:28.840
for being evil and being wicked

01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:31.840
and being envious and wanting attention

01:01:31.840 --> 01:01:34.840
he's delusional, he was demonic, he was an anti-Christ

01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:37.840
I see this, our church specifically has been protested a lot

01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:40.840
there's kind of like a three year period

01:01:40.840 --> 01:01:43.840
where we virtually protested almost every service

01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:46.840
sometimes hundreds of protestors, sometimes just a couple

01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:49.840
but very consistent, and you know they remind me

01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:52.840
of what the Bible says in the book of Acts

01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:55.840
the lewd fellows of the baser sword

01:01:55.840 --> 01:01:58.840
which were riled up to just attack and to persecute and to hate

01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:01.840
and they just constantly scream at you

01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:04.840
what do they scream at me? You know what they scream at me?

01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:07.840
They say, you're going to hell!

01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:10.840
You know why they scream that? Because I'm going to heaven and they're going to hell

01:02:10.840 --> 01:02:13.840
and they're envious of this, and they're envious of the fact that I can say

01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:16.840
you're going to hell. So you know what they want to do?

01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:19.840
They want to be able to say it too, they're like, you're going to hell

01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:22.840
you know what they're faggity lisp, right?

01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:25.840
You're going to hell

01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:28.840
it's like wow, nope, it's for sure you

01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:31.840
they're like, you deserve death

01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:34.840
it's like, no, you disgusting abominable freak

01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:37.840
you deserve death, right? They just project

01:02:37.840 --> 01:02:40.840
all of their evil and wickedness onto you

01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:43.840
because of course the worst thing to be called is a faggot

01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:46.840
is to be said that you're going to go to hell, is to say that you're unsaved

01:02:46.840 --> 01:02:49.840
is to say that you're abominable, so that's the only insults they can

01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:52.840
throw back at us. And it's so funny they'll say like, no you're a faggot

01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:55.840
it's like, is that an insult?

01:02:55.840 --> 01:02:58.840
You know, like you know what I never do? I never go to

01:02:58.840 --> 01:03:01.840
these faggots that are protesting me and I'm like, you're a

01:03:01.840 --> 01:03:04.840
baddest

01:03:04.840 --> 01:03:07.840
you believe the King James Bible

01:03:07.840 --> 01:03:10.840
that's not an insult, I would never say that at them

01:03:10.840 --> 01:03:13.840
because it's not an insult. Why do they say it to us? Because it's

01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:16.840
the ultimate insult, because they're gross and

01:03:16.840 --> 01:03:19.840
vile and disgusting and they know it

01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:22.840
why do they lose their mind, why are they protesting

01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:25.840
you know, in their mind a small church, why? Because we have

01:03:25.840 --> 01:03:28.840
salvation, because we're righteous, that's why they

01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:31.840
lose their mind. It's not like Verity

01:03:31.840 --> 01:03:34.840
is in accustomed to, hey some protesters, right?

01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:37.840
I heard you had some protesters back in the day

01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:40.840
what was like 600 or something? Maybe it was

01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:43.840
6 million, I don't know who's counting, but

01:03:43.840 --> 01:03:46.840
you had all of these protesters coming, these vile, disgusting

01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:49.840
freaks and animals, you know why? Because you were saved

01:03:49.840 --> 01:03:52.840
because you're righteous, because you love God, because you have

01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:55.840
eternal life and they're envious of that so they come

01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:58.840
and they hate on you. They hate on you because

01:03:58.840 --> 01:04:01.840
you know what, the world likes us more than it likes them

01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:04.840
I go to a restaurant with my

01:04:04.840 --> 01:04:07.840
seven, eight kids or whatever and the restaurant they're like

01:04:07.840 --> 01:04:10.840
we love you, they're so beautiful, you know these faggots

01:04:10.840 --> 01:04:13.840
and these queers coming into the restaurant, they're just holding

01:04:13.840 --> 01:04:16.840
their nose like, oh what a faggot, you know, serve this

01:04:16.840 --> 01:04:19.840
freak, this weirdo, this tranny, they don't want them

01:04:19.840 --> 01:04:22.840
they don't like them

01:04:22.840 --> 01:04:25.840
and they know it, they know everybody looks down

01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:28.840
on them, they know everybody thinks they're gross and disgusting

01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:31.840
and they like us

01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:34.840
and they're just mad that people like us

01:04:34.840 --> 01:04:37.840
they try to follow you around and get you shut down at hotels, hey the hotel likes us

01:04:37.840 --> 01:04:40.840
and they're like, ah, I'm going to shut you down

01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:43.840
I want to shut you down, credit card processing

01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:46.840
and banks and everything, why? Because they're just envious that people like us

01:04:46.840 --> 01:04:49.840
they just project

01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:52.840
their wickedness and evil upon us, why?

01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:55.840
Because God does not respect them and they know that they're damned

01:04:55.840 --> 01:04:58.840
look at Proverbs 28, verse 25

01:04:58.840 --> 01:05:01.840
what does the Bible say?

01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:04.840
He that is of a proud heart, stirth up strife

01:05:04.840 --> 01:05:07.840
notice, who's the one causing problems?

01:05:07.840 --> 01:05:10.840
the person that's proud, who's the most proud?

01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:13.840
faggots

01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:16.840
it's like, oh man, we were living such a great life

01:05:16.840 --> 01:05:19.840
until this pastor had to get up and scream about faggots

01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:22.840
or something like that, no, no, no, it was the faggots that were the problem

01:05:22.840 --> 01:05:25.840
a preacher getting up

01:05:25.840 --> 01:05:28.840
and preaching what the Bible says is the solution

01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:31.840
the faggots are the problem, and they should be eliminated

01:05:31.840 --> 01:05:34.840
look at Proverbs 29, verse 10

01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:37.840
the bloodthirsty hate the upright

01:05:37.840 --> 01:05:40.840
but the just seek his soul

01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:43.840
notice that the Bible is telling us bloodthirsty people

01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:46.840
they just hate people that are good, why? Because they're good

01:05:46.840 --> 01:05:49.840
they're just envious of the fact that people are better than them

01:05:49.840 --> 01:05:52.840
and of course because they don't have

01:05:52.840 --> 01:05:55.840
anything to say against you

01:05:55.840 --> 01:05:58.840
they just project their own insecurities upon you, right?

01:05:58.840 --> 01:06:01.840
the faggot calls you a faggot because that's the worst insult

01:06:01.840 --> 01:06:04.840
they can think of, and then you talk to someone

01:06:04.840 --> 01:06:07.840
that's from the orthodox church

01:06:07.840 --> 01:06:10.840
and what do they say? You're stupid, why?

01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:13.840
because they're stupid, look

01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:16.840
adherents to the orthodox church are the dumbest people

01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:19.840
they are foolish, they have no justification for their faith

01:06:19.840 --> 01:06:22.840
they have no reason why they're walking in and kissing the icons

01:06:22.840 --> 01:06:25.840
kissing dead bodies, kissing skulls

01:06:25.840 --> 01:06:28.840
drinking dirty foot water from a dead foot

01:06:28.840 --> 01:06:31.840
literally

01:06:31.840 --> 01:06:34.840
like none of this makes any sense

01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:37.840
none of this is Christianity, and they just say, trust me bro

01:06:37.840 --> 01:06:40.840
that's their whole religion

01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:43.840
their whole religion is our church has never done anything wrong ever

01:06:43.840 --> 01:06:46.840
that's their official doctrine

01:06:46.840 --> 01:06:49.840
yeah, I'm paraphrasing it in the Pastor Shelley version

01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:52.840
but let me tell you something, that's basically their official version of their doctrine

01:06:52.840 --> 01:06:55.840
is we've never done anything wrong, trust me bro

01:06:55.840 --> 01:06:58.840
like, how is that any different than communism?

01:06:58.840 --> 01:07:01.840
is that any different than some kind of a 1984 regime

01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:04.840
where 2 plus 2 equals 5, you know what the party has spoken

01:07:04.840 --> 01:07:07.840
that is a dangerous ideology

01:07:07.840 --> 01:07:10.840
you know, praise God for the freedom that we have in America

01:07:10.840 --> 01:07:13.840
where we can actually verify things ourselves

01:07:13.840 --> 01:07:16.840
praise God that you hold a bible in your hand, that's the ultimate authority

01:07:16.840 --> 01:07:19.840
and you can go to a church where this is the final authority

01:07:19.840 --> 01:07:22.840
and you can actually check it

01:07:22.840 --> 01:07:25.840
and you know why they get so mad?

01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:28.840
you can understand the bible?

01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:31.840
yeah

01:07:31.840 --> 01:07:34.840
you actually think you can read the scripture and figure things out with the Holy Spirit?

01:07:34.840 --> 01:07:37.840
yes

01:07:37.840 --> 01:07:40.840
they're like, oh you're so stupid

01:07:40.840 --> 01:07:43.840
no no, I'm wise

01:07:43.840 --> 01:07:46.840
you know what the bible says, making wise the simple

01:07:46.840 --> 01:07:49.840
hey, you can be very simple but the bible can make you wise

01:07:49.840 --> 01:07:52.840
how did the psalmist have more understanding than all his teachers?

01:07:52.840 --> 01:07:55.840
you know, the bible says that

01:07:55.840 --> 01:07:58.840
thou from a child has known the holy scriptures

01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:01.840
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation

01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:04.840
how can a child be so wise? it's from the bible

01:08:04.840 --> 01:08:07.840
it's from the word of God

01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:10.840
hey, the word of God is what enlightens our souls and our minds

01:08:10.840 --> 01:08:13.840
and it's the Holy Spirit that enlightens us

01:08:13.840 --> 01:08:16.840
and it gives us great wisdom

01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:19.840
and this world gets mad about you having the true wisdom of God

01:08:19.840 --> 01:08:22.840
they call you foolish, they call you a bible worshiper

01:08:22.840 --> 01:08:25.840
and you know what, who cares about all those labels?

01:08:25.840 --> 01:08:28.840
go to Acts 21, go back to Acts

01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:31.840
I want to look at another example

01:08:31.840 --> 01:08:34.840
they eat a cracker they think turns into Jesus

01:08:34.840 --> 01:08:37.840
and then they call you stupid

01:08:37.840 --> 01:08:40.840
probably want a cracker, or the dogs want a cracker

01:08:40.840 --> 01:08:43.840
oh, oh, oh, Jesus

01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:46.840
stupid moron

01:08:46.840 --> 01:08:49.840
you're not eating Jesus

01:08:49.840 --> 01:08:52.840
it didn't turn into Jesus

01:08:52.840 --> 01:08:55.840
how blasphemous and how wicked to think you're going to eat God

01:08:55.840 --> 01:08:58.840
they're like, you think the word of God transcends

01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:01.840
this physical book and somehow is in the second person of the trinity

01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:04.840
that's crazy, let's eat Jesus now

01:09:04.840 --> 01:09:07.840
let's drink his blood

01:09:07.840 --> 01:09:10.840
like vampires or something, right?

01:09:10.840 --> 01:09:13.840
I mean, what kind of a weird satanic religion is this?

01:09:13.840 --> 01:09:16.840
you know, they project their own foolishness and nonsense onto you

01:09:16.840 --> 01:09:20.840
call you stupid and foolish while they're doing the most nonsensical things imaginable

01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:23.840
things that no one would even dream up of

01:09:23.840 --> 01:09:26.840
on their own accord, they have to be taught it by

01:09:26.840 --> 01:09:29.840
satanic, demonic false teachers

01:09:29.840 --> 01:09:32.840
and let me tell you something, the priests and the bishops of this religion

01:09:32.840 --> 01:09:35.840
are satanic false teachers and false prophets

01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:38.840
they're damned, they're going to go to hell

01:09:38.840 --> 01:09:41.840
none of them has ever gotten anything right

01:09:41.840 --> 01:09:44.840
they're as far away from being infallible as possible

01:09:44.840 --> 01:09:47.840
they're only fallible

01:09:47.840 --> 01:09:50.840
they're not infallible, they're only fallible

01:09:50.840 --> 01:09:53.840
they're fake and they're disgusting

01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:56.840
and let me tell you something, the orthodox cannot defend their religion

01:09:56.840 --> 01:09:59.840
so they just have to tell you you're stupid

01:09:59.840 --> 01:10:02.840
every one of these ortho bros, their whole argument is just

01:10:02.840 --> 01:10:05.840
you're stupid, you don't know church history

01:10:05.840 --> 01:10:08.840
it's like, you don't either

01:10:08.840 --> 01:10:11.840
you expect me to believe all these ortho bros have studied church history

01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:14.840
they haven't studied church history

01:10:14.840 --> 01:10:17.840
it's just a clause of gaslighting from the catholic church

01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:20.840
or from the orthodox church cherry picking certain things

01:10:20.840 --> 01:10:23.840
look, no one knows what really happened

01:10:23.840 --> 01:10:26.840
2000 years ago apart from what the bible tells us

01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:29.840
you know, I have confidence in what this says

01:10:29.840 --> 01:10:32.840
every word, but let me tell you something, everything outside this

01:10:32.840 --> 01:10:35.840
is real suspect, and isn't it funny

01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:38.840
church historians, they act like everything in here is suspect

01:10:38.840 --> 01:10:41.840
and just one spurious quote of a weirdo

01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:44.840
is somehow just gospel truth now

01:10:44.840 --> 01:10:47.840
it's like, why am I supposed to believe that every little writing

01:10:47.840 --> 01:10:50.840
every spurious little text that we can find is just somehow automatically

01:10:50.840 --> 01:10:53.840
legit and true, but then we don't trust

01:10:53.840 --> 01:10:56.840
the thousands and thousands and thousands of manuscripts

01:10:56.840 --> 01:10:59.840
that have been preserved in the word of God and say

01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:02.840
this is the ultimate final authority

01:11:02.840 --> 01:11:05.840
it's just crazy, it's weird

01:11:05.840 --> 01:11:08.840
Acts chapter 21, I want to see some more people lose their mind, look at verse 27

01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:11.840
and when the seven days were almost ended

01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:14.840
the Jews which were in Asia, when they saw him in the temple

01:11:14.840 --> 01:11:17.840
stirred up all the people and laid hands on him, crying out

01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:20.840
men of Israel, help!

01:11:20.840 --> 01:11:23.840
this is the man that teacheth all men everywhere

01:11:23.840 --> 01:11:26.840
that orthodox baptisms are $250

01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:29.840
it's like, Paul is just minding his own business

01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:32.840
and it's just like they grab this guy Paul

01:11:32.840 --> 01:11:35.840
and they say what?

01:11:35.840 --> 01:11:38.840
he teacheth all men everywhere against the people

01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:41.840
and the law and this place and further brought

01:11:41.840 --> 01:11:44.840
Greeks also in the temple and have polluted this holy place

01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:47.840
look, the apostle Paul isn't against Jerusalem, he loves Jerusalem

01:11:47.840 --> 01:11:50.840
he literally

01:11:50.840 --> 01:11:53.840
disobeys the Holy Ghost

01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:56.840
to go back to Jerusalem

01:11:56.840 --> 01:11:59.840
when the Holy Ghost had said, the man speaking by the Spirit

01:11:59.840 --> 01:12:02.840
said like, hey don't go up to Jerusalem, and he's like, I'm bound, I'm going to go anyways

01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:05.840
I mean he says he wishes he could be accursed

01:12:05.840 --> 01:12:08.840
for his kinsman's sake in the book of Romans

01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:11.840
this guy loves Jerusalem, this guy loves the Jews

01:12:11.840 --> 01:12:14.840
this guy's trying so hard to get them saved

01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:17.840
and then what is their accusation?

01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:20.840
oh he hates the Jews and he hates us and he hates this place

01:12:20.840 --> 01:12:23.840
and he's trying to kill us, you know, the exact opposite

01:12:23.840 --> 01:12:26.840
of the truth, and they drag him out and they're trying to rip him

01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:29.840
in half, they try to just basically kill him

01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:32.840
you know, Nebuchadnezzar loses his mind

01:12:32.840 --> 01:12:35.840
when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego won't worship the image

01:12:35.840 --> 01:12:38.840
and you know what, you won't kiss the icon, they'll lose their mind

01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:41.840
and just burn that fiery furnace seven times

01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:44.840
harder and they'll throw their own men in the fire

01:12:44.840 --> 01:12:47.840
at the behest of just slaughtering God's people

01:12:47.840 --> 01:12:50.840
and you know what, they're so mad because they get so mad

01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:53.840
that you're not bowing down to the golden calf with them

01:12:53.840 --> 01:12:56.840
they'll call you stupid, but you know what's so funny about the Orthodox?

01:12:56.840 --> 01:12:59.840
they still have to live in our country and use our Bible

01:12:59.840 --> 01:13:02.840
even though they call us heretics

01:13:02.840 --> 01:13:05.840
think about this, what if there was a country in this world

01:13:05.840 --> 01:13:08.840
that was founded by Mormons, it's run by Mormons

01:13:08.840 --> 01:13:11.840
and the laws are based on Mormons

01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:14.840
how many of you think, I want to live there

01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:17.840
like, you wouldn't want to live there

01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:20.840
it's like how in the world, you know

01:13:20.840 --> 01:13:23.840
who in here wants to move to a nation that was founded by Islam

01:13:23.840 --> 01:13:27.840
it's based only on Islamic principles and their laws are still based on Sharia law

01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:30.840
who's ready to move there?

01:13:30.840 --> 01:13:33.840
yeah, but from the Orthodox position

01:13:33.840 --> 01:13:36.840
they're saying Protestants are these raging heretic schismatics

01:13:36.840 --> 01:13:39.840
and it's like, why do you want to live in our nation

01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:42.840
and use our Bible?

01:13:42.840 --> 01:13:45.840
make it make sense!

01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:48.840
it doesn't make sense, why? because this is the real Bible

01:13:48.840 --> 01:13:51.840
and God's blessing was put on the Protestants and the Protestant nation of America

01:13:51.840 --> 01:13:54.840
that's why they want to live here

01:13:54.840 --> 01:13:57.840
they're the cockroaches, they're the cancer

01:13:57.840 --> 01:14:00.840
they ruined Europe, and they want to come over here and ruin our country too

01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:03.840
and you know what? what a shame and embarrassment

01:14:03.840 --> 01:14:06.840
if we allowed the Catholics and the Orthodox to take over our nation

01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:09.840
when our founding fathers tried so hard to get away from them

01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:12.840
I mean the state of Georgia explicitly said

01:14:12.840 --> 01:14:15.840
that you could not be a practicing papist in the state of Georgia

01:14:15.840 --> 01:14:18.840
it said, hey, we don't accept Catholic religion here, period

01:14:18.840 --> 01:14:21.840
you say like, oh, well, did they bring up Orthodox?

01:14:21.840 --> 01:14:24.840
no, because no one cared about them

01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:27.840
did they bring up Jews? they didn't even know

01:14:27.840 --> 01:14:30.840
that a Jew would consider coming over here

01:14:30.840 --> 01:14:33.840
yeah, obviously they're highlighting papists

01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:36.840
because they thought that was the only real threat at the time

01:14:36.840 --> 01:14:39.840
they were going to bring Hindus over here

01:14:39.840 --> 01:14:42.840
they weren't going to bring Muslims over here

01:14:42.840 --> 01:14:45.840
what kind of insanity? you know, hey, our country was founded to be a Christian nation

01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:48.840
and it's embarrassing and it's a shame

01:14:48.840 --> 01:14:51.840
how so many people are just allowing it

01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:54.840
to just be taken over by false religion

01:14:54.840 --> 01:14:57.840
they use our country

01:14:57.840 --> 01:15:00.840
you know, why do these Orthodox people not want to move to Greece?

01:15:00.840 --> 01:15:03.840
or move to the Middle East, move to Turkey

01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:06.840
or move to these countries where their Orthodox Church is thriving

01:15:06.840 --> 01:15:09.840
because those places are crap holes, that's why

01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:12.840
they love the prosperity and freedom of Protestants

01:15:12.840 --> 01:15:15.840
but then they hate Protestants

01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:18.840
they're envious of us

01:15:18.840 --> 01:15:21.840
I want to talk about another group

01:15:21.840 --> 01:15:24.840
I'm going to move on because a lot of these people we've been talking about

01:15:24.840 --> 01:15:27.840
are just unsaved people, right? I kind of expect the unsaved to lose their mind

01:15:27.840 --> 01:15:30.840
but you still see saved people

01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:33.840
also losing their mind

01:15:33.840 --> 01:15:36.840
not just the Tyler Doca antichrist

01:15:36.840 --> 01:15:39.840
not just the lewd fellows of the baser sort

01:15:39.840 --> 01:15:42.840
not just the Orthodox and the Catholic

01:15:42.840 --> 01:15:45.840
but you even see saved Christians just becoming so obsessed

01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:48.840
and chimping out about other Christians

01:15:48.840 --> 01:15:51.840
how about Paul Wittenberger and McMurtry?

01:15:51.840 --> 01:15:54.840
I mean, why in the world

01:15:54.840 --> 01:15:57.840
you know how much time, effort and money it takes to make a movie?

01:15:57.840 --> 01:16:00.840
like, we're talking like, it's draining

01:16:00.840 --> 01:16:03.840
it's physically draining, it's mentally draining

01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:06.840
I mean, it's a lot of effort and energy

01:16:06.840 --> 01:16:09.840
and imagine, you're a saved Christian, a Bible believing Christian

01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:12.840
like, you're going to make a movie to destroy another saved

01:16:12.840 --> 01:16:15.840
Bible believing Christian who's going soul winning?

01:16:15.840 --> 01:16:18.840
like, of all the movie choices you could make

01:16:18.840 --> 01:16:21.840
like, why would that be the one decision?

01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:24.840
right? I mean, it's just kind of like, Saul is like

01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:27.840
hey, who's our best warrior right now?

01:16:27.840 --> 01:16:30.840
oh yes, David, let's kill him

01:16:30.840 --> 01:16:33.840
how does that even make sense?

01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:36.840
wouldn't you think like, hey, let's kill some extra Philistines or something

01:16:36.840 --> 01:16:39.840
or let's go raid Assyria, you know, like

01:16:39.840 --> 01:16:42.840
let's just go into Ethiopia, I don't know

01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:45.840
but it's like, why in the world are you attacking

01:16:45.840 --> 01:16:48.840
someone that's on your team?

01:16:48.840 --> 01:16:51.840
like, it doesn't even make sense

01:16:51.840 --> 01:16:54.840
like, the pastor is weird, it's weird

01:16:54.840 --> 01:16:57.840
you know, he's not preaching heresy, they're not calling him out

01:16:57.840 --> 01:17:00.840
for preaching any heresy

01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:03.840
he's going soul winning

01:17:03.840 --> 01:17:06.840
doctrinally, he's virtually the same

01:17:06.840 --> 01:17:09.840
I think the only difference is he's less feminist

01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:12.840
wow, what a really big thing to get mad about, right?

01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:15.840
ah, this guy is less feminist

01:17:15.840 --> 01:17:18.840
like, why wouldn't you make a documentary attacking Catholics?

01:17:18.840 --> 01:17:21.840
why wouldn't you make a documentary attacking the Orthodox?

01:17:21.840 --> 01:17:24.840
or repent of your sins, false prophets

01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:27.840
or false versions of the Bible, or false religions

01:17:27.840 --> 01:17:30.840
or just any sin, right?

01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:33.840
it's like you have to focus, hyper focus on another saved Christian

01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:36.840
it's a Christian derangement syndrome, folks

01:17:36.840 --> 01:17:39.840
it's this weird obsession, and what was the reason why?

01:17:39.840 --> 01:17:42.840
what is the Bible even telling us?

01:17:42.840 --> 01:17:45.840
envy, it's envy

01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:48.840
if you see his David's in the picture, he doesn't feel safe in his position

01:17:48.840 --> 01:17:51.840
so it's like, hey, we gotta get this pastor out

01:17:51.840 --> 01:17:54.840
so that I can take over, you know

01:17:54.840 --> 01:17:57.840
I can be the next guy, you know, I can be the next guy that Paul Wittenberger makes famous

01:17:57.840 --> 01:18:00.840
you know, it's like

01:18:00.840 --> 01:18:03.840
if Paul Wittenberger made Pastor Anderson famous

01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:06.840
why can't he make himself famous?

01:18:06.840 --> 01:18:09.840
he makes other people famous

01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:12.840
yet he can't make himself famous

01:18:12.840 --> 01:18:15.840
why is it so hard to make McMurtry famous?

01:18:15.840 --> 01:18:18.840
if he's so great

01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:21.840
you would think they would have already achieved this by now

01:18:21.840 --> 01:18:24.840
with all their, you know, wonderful abilities

01:18:24.840 --> 01:18:27.840
city lost

01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:30.840
wow, talking about a terrible movie

01:18:30.840 --> 01:18:33.840
I mean, you know, and they say

01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:36.840
this is what I heard, Paul Wittenberger is just

01:18:36.840 --> 01:18:39.840
he's making like a five part series, you know, it's like, bro

01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:42.840
no one watched the first one, okay?

01:18:42.840 --> 01:18:45.840
the first one was profaggot

01:18:45.840 --> 01:18:48.840
you know, quit while you're ahead, you're not ahead, but just stop

01:18:48.840 --> 01:18:51.840
stop the bleeding

01:18:51.840 --> 01:18:54.840
oh, I gotta make penance for the fact that I ever supported this person

01:18:54.840 --> 01:18:57.840
who made him famous

01:18:57.840 --> 01:19:00.840
oh, okay, Paul Wittenberger, you promoted Tyler Doca

01:19:00.840 --> 01:19:03.840
and had him at a soul winning conference

01:19:03.840 --> 01:19:06.840
who became a literal antichrist

01:19:06.840 --> 01:19:09.840
you made a documentary with Tyler Doca

01:19:09.840 --> 01:19:12.840
where's your penance for that?

01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:15.840
when did you make a documentary about him?

01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:18.840
like, that would be kind of an interesting documentary to expose a guy

01:19:18.840 --> 01:19:21.840
that became a literal antichrist

01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:24.840
like, that might be an interesting idea, right?

01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:27.840
it's just like, oh, McMurtry, you made a documentary with Tyler Doca

01:19:27.840 --> 01:19:30.840
where's your penance for that?

01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:33.840
where's your obsession? I mean, you're not gonna attack a literal antichrist

01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:36.840
you're gonna attack a master

01:19:36.840 --> 01:19:39.840
who taught you all kinds of doctrine and helped you out

01:19:39.840 --> 01:19:42.840
wow, what a great idea, huh?

01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:45.840
why envy?

01:19:45.840 --> 01:19:48.840
and you know why they constantly obsess and constantly make documentaries

01:19:48.840 --> 01:19:51.840
because if they left us alone, everyone would forget they exist

01:19:51.840 --> 01:19:54.840
I want you to go to

01:19:54.840 --> 01:19:57.840
I want you to go to

01:19:57.840 --> 01:20:00.840
Esther, chapter number five

01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:03.840
why do people just lose their mind?

01:20:03.840 --> 01:20:06.840
because of envy

01:20:06.840 --> 01:20:09.840
they envy someone that gets the attention

01:20:09.840 --> 01:20:12.840
we saw that with the Jews, they were envious of the multitudes

01:20:12.840 --> 01:20:15.840
they're envious of the power of God in someone's life

01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:18.840
getting lots of people saved

01:20:18.840 --> 01:20:21.840
they're envious of someone's wisdom, the fact that they have great knowledge

01:20:21.840 --> 01:20:24.840
when it comes to the Bible

01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:27.840
and instead of just working hard and studying the Bible and being humble

01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:30.840
they want to tear other people down

01:20:30.840 --> 01:20:33.840
so that they can claim that position

01:20:33.840 --> 01:20:36.840
it's when you go to work and you excel at work

01:20:36.840 --> 01:20:39.840
and someone wants to get you fired

01:20:39.840 --> 01:20:42.840
not because you did something wrong

01:20:42.840 --> 01:20:45.840
but because they want to take your position and they want to take your salary

01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:48.840
because they're envious of your position, they're envious of your salary

01:20:48.840 --> 01:20:51.840
and they don't want to actually work hard and excel you at the workplace

01:20:51.840 --> 01:20:54.840
they just want to destroy you so they can take your position

01:20:54.840 --> 01:20:57.840
they want to get you out of the picture

01:20:57.840 --> 01:21:00.840
and what's crazy is how so many people can have so many things

01:21:00.840 --> 01:21:03.840
people talk about, oh I left the new IAB and my life just got so much better

01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:06.840
every burden was lifted

01:21:06.840 --> 01:21:09.840
everything is just so wonderful

01:21:09.840 --> 01:21:12.840
and just rainbows and lollipops

01:21:12.840 --> 01:21:15.840
everything is just so great

01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:18.840
they have it all

01:21:18.840 --> 01:21:21.840
then why do they still talk about us?

01:21:21.840 --> 01:21:24.840
I know a guy that had it all

01:21:24.840 --> 01:21:27.840
Esther chapter 5 we have a guy named Haman

01:21:27.840 --> 01:21:30.840
he had it all

01:21:30.840 --> 01:21:33.840
let's look at verse number

01:21:33.840 --> 01:21:36.840
I'm going to go to verse 9

01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:54.840
I'm going to go to verse 9

01:21:55.840 --> 01:22:16.840
ر premiers

01:22:16.840 --> 01:22:21.280
with the king. I mean this guy's like, I am awesome. Everyone

01:22:21.280 --> 01:22:26.620
likes me. Everything's great. Then in verse 13, yet all this

01:22:26.620 --> 01:22:30.420
availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting

01:22:30.420 --> 01:22:33.920
at the king's gate. He's just like, he has it all. Except for

01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:36.660
one thing, Mordecai doesn't like him. Mordecai doesn't respect

01:22:36.660 --> 01:22:40.100
him. Mordecai doesn't bow down to him. And it just, it just, it

01:22:40.100 --> 01:22:45.080
just irks him so much that he has to lose his mind. Then

01:22:45.080 --> 01:22:48.880
then Jareth his wife gently led him. I'm sorry I added that.

01:22:48.880 --> 01:22:52.480
Then said Jareth his wife and all his friends and him, let a

01:22:52.480 --> 01:22:55.460
gal as we made a fifty cubit tie and tomorrow speak thou unto

01:22:55.460 --> 01:22:58.160
the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon. It's like you

01:22:58.160 --> 01:23:01.900
have literally everything. You're number two in the kingdom

01:23:01.900 --> 01:23:06.000
basically. And you just can't handle it. You can't handle it.

01:23:06.000 --> 01:23:09.200
Everyone doesn't like you. Why? Because he realizes that

01:23:09.200 --> 01:23:12.480
Mordecai is a better person than him. He realizes that Mordecai

01:23:12.480 --> 01:23:15.440
is right with God and it just irks him that this guy won't

01:23:15.440 --> 01:23:19.280
bow down to him and he just has to destroy him. And it's just,

01:23:19.280 --> 01:23:22.880
it's just, it's crazy how people just lose their mind about

01:23:22.880 --> 01:23:26.620
other people just being good. You know, you kind of have to

01:23:26.620 --> 01:23:29.000
ask this question. You have to kind of wonder like why does the

01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:34.500
old I.B. hate the new I.B.? Like why do they lose their mind?

01:23:34.500 --> 01:23:37.300
You know why? Because we get more people saved out so when

01:23:37.300 --> 01:23:40.800
they do. It's that simple. It's because of the numbers. They're

01:23:40.820 --> 01:23:43.820
just mad about it. And instead of just going out and outworking

01:23:43.820 --> 01:23:46.760
us and just getting a lot of people saved, they just want to

01:23:46.760 --> 01:23:50.900
make it seem like oh it's not real or it's not sincere or

01:23:50.900 --> 01:23:55.680
they're cultist or they're weird or they're evil or you know

01:23:55.680 --> 01:23:59.680
these post trebbers, you know. They're like wife beavers, you

01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:04.380
know. What are you talking about? I mean it's just lies,

01:24:04.380 --> 01:24:08.460
slander, false accusations. You know they hate the new I.B.

01:24:08.460 --> 01:24:11.620
because we just get a bunch of people saved. That's why. Because

01:24:11.620 --> 01:24:14.680
they don't want to go out and do the work. You have to ask

01:24:14.680 --> 01:24:18.600
yourself this question like why in the world would a pastor just

01:24:18.600 --> 01:24:21.600
lose his mind and just say that he wants to get away from the

01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:25.860
new I.B.? I don't know. But I'll tell you what the Bible says

01:24:25.860 --> 01:24:30.900
is envy. You know why? Why did Roger Jimenez just lose his mind

01:24:30.900 --> 01:24:35.840
and just totally attack new I.B. pastors and just say all kinds

01:24:35.860 --> 01:24:38.860
of crazy things about them? I mean I was called vile and

01:24:38.860 --> 01:24:45.300
trashy along with other pastors for this is the supposed reason.

01:24:45.300 --> 01:24:49.300
We're going, I'm going around secretly telling men in the

01:24:49.300 --> 01:24:53.500
church that if they commit adultery, as long as the woman's

01:24:53.500 --> 01:24:59.640
not married, they don't deserve the death penalty technically.

01:24:59.640 --> 01:25:06.040
It's very specific, okay? And then because of that, now it's a

01:25:06.040 --> 01:25:13.120
green light for hookers. I'm like okay, why didn't me and Pastor

01:25:13.120 --> 01:25:20.300
Anderson not tell Donnie Romero this? Like, what? Like what are

01:25:20.300 --> 01:25:26.040
you, like this is so weird. Now I'm vile and trashy for

01:25:26.060 --> 01:25:28.760
believing this or teaching. It's like bro I've never taught

01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:32.660
this. I've never done anything so weird. You know I'm a weasel.

01:25:32.860 --> 01:25:38.460
I destroyed Red Hot. What? What are you talking about? Like if

01:25:38.460 --> 01:25:41.200
I was such a bad preacher just don't invite me, right? Like is

01:25:41.200 --> 01:25:45.340
it that hard just to not invite Pastor Shelley to a conference

01:25:45.340 --> 01:25:48.000
or something like that? You know it's just like it's just weird.

01:25:48.360 --> 01:25:52.680
Why? Because somebody just wants to have a lot of money and a

01:25:52.680 --> 01:25:56.620
big building and they want a big crowd and they want to get the

01:25:56.620 --> 01:26:01.360
attention. It's just envy. So you got to tear down and attack

01:26:01.360 --> 01:26:05.080
people. And you know what? King Saul tried to blame the people

01:26:05.380 --> 01:26:08.940
whenever he gets called out for all of his bad actions. And you

01:26:08.940 --> 01:26:11.900
know what? In many cases, it's the same playbook for these

01:26:11.900 --> 01:26:14.980
people. They just say, Oh, well, I would stand with you. I would

01:26:14.980 --> 01:26:21.620
be your friend, but the people. But mother congregation. There's

01:26:21.620 --> 01:26:25.520
a lot of people here. Seems like a lot of people would have been

01:26:25.520 --> 01:26:29.360
okay being in the new IFB fan club that you created that you

01:26:29.360 --> 01:26:31.360
were never a part of somehow. I don't even know how you do that.

01:26:32.080 --> 01:26:35.960
But it's impressive. I mean, you have a new IFB singles group

01:26:36.600 --> 01:26:40.000
because you're not in the new IFB. I don't know. I don't know

01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:45.360
how this even works. You know, it's just, it's just sad to see

01:26:45.360 --> 01:26:47.880
people lose their mind. But you know what? I don't want you to

01:26:47.880 --> 01:26:50.120
get discouraged. I want to look at a couple more places. They're

01:26:50.320 --> 01:26:53.320
they're almost getting all the food done here and I get it. I'm

01:26:53.480 --> 01:26:57.040
I don't have a clock on my hands. So you know, go to Psalm 137,

01:26:57.040 --> 01:27:03.520
go to Psalm 37. What's the point of the message? Well, number

01:27:03.520 --> 01:27:07.000
one, we shouldn't get envious. Okay. But but a second thing is

01:27:07.320 --> 01:27:10.600
when this happens, when you see these things unfold, I don't want

01:27:10.600 --> 01:27:14.240
you to get discouraged. Because you get discouraged, you get

01:27:14.400 --> 01:27:18.520
annoyed by all the harassment, all the persecution. I mean,

01:27:18.520 --> 01:27:23.160
there's so many people that hate me. It's crazy. They hate me

01:27:23.160 --> 01:27:26.680
for, you know, all kinds of different excuses. But you know

01:27:26.680 --> 01:27:31.040
what? They hate me because of envy. That's how it is. Psalm

01:27:31.040 --> 01:27:33.240
37. I want you to look at verse number 12. The Bible says the

01:27:33.240 --> 01:27:36.800
wicked plot of against the just and gnasheth upon him with his

01:27:36.800 --> 01:27:40.120
teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him for he seeeth that his day

01:27:40.120 --> 01:27:44.600
is coming. Here's what's so interesting is that all of these

01:27:44.600 --> 01:27:48.360
people that just hate the new IB and are ex new IB, they're just

01:27:48.360 --> 01:27:51.360
so obsessed with us. I mean, they're all going to watch the

01:27:51.360 --> 01:27:55.800
sermon. They might even watch it a couple times. You know, they

01:27:55.800 --> 01:27:59.320
just they just love the attention. They just love, you

01:27:59.320 --> 01:28:03.120
know, talking about us and being near us and whatever. And it's

01:28:03.120 --> 01:28:05.720
no different than the Bible. The Bible talks about how the

01:28:05.720 --> 01:28:10.160
wicked is just constantly just thinking about the righteous and

01:28:10.160 --> 01:28:13.040
wants to attack the righteous and they just can't get enough.

01:28:14.200 --> 01:28:18.600
But you know, even though they want you to go down, the fall

01:28:18.600 --> 01:28:22.440
of the new IB hasn't happened. Is that you can make a podcast,

01:28:22.480 --> 01:28:25.480
your number one podcast, your number one podcast shows the

01:28:25.480 --> 01:28:32.000
fall of the new IB. It didn't fall. Like, think about the

01:28:32.000 --> 01:28:34.840
logic of your number one show is just saying like, Hey, man, it

01:28:34.840 --> 01:28:39.800
was just amazing to watch this giant fall. It didn't happen. It

01:28:39.800 --> 01:28:47.320
never happened. It's not gonna happen. Sorry. Hey, you keep

01:28:47.320 --> 01:28:49.880
plotting against us. But you know, God's laughing at you.

01:28:50.120 --> 01:28:53.040
God's laughing at you for your stupid doctrine, your stupid

01:28:53.040 --> 01:28:56.680
heresies and your stupid ideas. Oh, we're gonna make this movie

01:28:56.680 --> 01:29:02.620
and it's gonna crush everybody. No, nobody cares. No one gives a

01:29:02.620 --> 01:29:05.960
rip. We're gonna laugh at you. God's laughing at you. Look at

01:29:05.960 --> 01:29:08.960
verse 30. The mouth of the righteous speak of wisdom and

01:29:08.960 --> 01:29:12.280
his tongue talk of the judgment. The law of God is in his heart.

01:29:12.320 --> 01:29:17.640
None of his steps shall slide. The wicked watch it the righteous

01:29:17.760 --> 01:29:22.080
and seek it the slave. They're just always watching. Hi.

01:29:23.920 --> 01:29:26.760
Always in the comments. They're always watching. They're just I

01:29:26.760 --> 01:29:29.840
mean, there's people that have left my church. They watch more

01:29:29.840 --> 01:29:33.700
of my sermons now than they did when they're in my church. They

01:29:33.700 --> 01:29:39.080
watch every podcast, every show, every post, they're making little

01:29:39.080 --> 01:29:42.080
clips out of it all day long. Just think like, bro, where were

01:29:42.080 --> 01:29:44.400
you? You know, you could have been making clips for me a long

01:29:44.400 --> 01:29:50.320
time ago. I might even paid you to make these clips. Now you just

01:29:50.320 --> 01:29:54.320
make clips just to be a hater. And it's like I listened to clip

01:29:54.320 --> 01:29:56.200
and I'm thinking like, wow, that was a good part of my sermon.

01:29:56.960 --> 01:29:58.840
This is what I know, like whatever the best part of my

01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:01.880
sermon, they're gonna clip out for sure. And then be like, wow,

01:30:01.880 --> 01:30:04.680
that was a good point. I like that point. Thanks for making a

01:30:04.680 --> 01:30:08.200
clip out of it so I could be reminded. They just want they

01:30:08.200 --> 01:30:11.480
just watch and they're just, I just can't wait for him to fall

01:30:11.480 --> 01:30:15.280
down. I just can't wait to be destroyed. But you know what?

01:30:15.320 --> 01:30:18.760
It's not gonna happen. The steps of a good man are ordered by

01:30:18.760 --> 01:30:22.320
the Lord. Look at verse 35, I have seen the wicked and great

01:30:22.320 --> 01:30:26.120
power and spreading himself like a great green bay tree. Yet he

01:30:26.120 --> 01:30:31.160
passed away. And lo, he was not. Yet he sought him, but he could

01:30:31.160 --> 01:30:35.440
not be found. Mark the perfect man, behold the upright, for the

01:30:35.440 --> 01:30:40.080
end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be

01:30:40.080 --> 01:30:43.600
destroyed together. The end of the wicked shall be cut off. But

01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:46.280
the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord. He is their

01:30:46.280 --> 01:30:49.800
strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them

01:30:49.800 --> 01:30:52.600
and deliver them. He shall deliver them from the wicked and

01:30:52.600 --> 01:30:56.680
save them because they trust in him. I didn't read this verse

01:30:56.680 --> 01:31:01.200
yet, but look at verse 34 now at this context. Wait on the Lord

01:31:01.560 --> 01:31:05.160
and keep his way and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land

01:31:05.160 --> 01:31:08.000
when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. What does the

01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:12.360
Bible say? Hey, they might mock and ridicule and laugh and

01:31:12.360 --> 01:31:15.600
create all these devices that destroy you. You know, family

01:31:15.600 --> 01:31:18.600
members might lie about you and slander you and people might try

01:31:18.600 --> 01:31:21.440
to attack your church and the protesters might come and they

01:31:21.440 --> 01:31:23.720
might huff and they might puff. But you know what, they're not

01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:26.560
going to blow the house of God down. They're not going to stop

01:31:26.560 --> 01:31:29.680
Christianity. They're not going to stop us going soul winning.

01:31:29.720 --> 01:31:32.200
They're not going to stop the right doctrines from just being

01:31:32.200 --> 01:31:37.000
thundered forth from pulpits. They are going to lose. And

01:31:37.000 --> 01:31:41.960
sometimes you just have to wait on the Lord. Say, Oh man, church

01:31:41.960 --> 01:31:46.000
can go up and down. Family can go up and down. People can lie

01:31:46.000 --> 01:31:48.640
about me and slander. You know what, just wait on the Lord,

01:31:48.720 --> 01:31:51.880
trust in the Lord, seek the Lord. And you know what, he can

01:31:51.880 --> 01:31:55.840
exalt you in due time. He can put you in a good place. Oh,

01:31:55.840 --> 01:32:00.720
but look at this guy. He has endless money. Well, didn't say

01:32:00.720 --> 01:32:03.720
this guy had endless money. I have seen the wicked and great

01:32:03.720 --> 01:32:06.920
power and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he

01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:11.000
passed away. Riches are not going to profit you in the day

01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:16.320
of trouble. God can cut you down so fast. Go to Psalm 58. We're

01:32:16.320 --> 01:32:19.640
really close. I just want to look at two more verses, two

01:32:19.640 --> 01:32:23.160
more places. I mean, Psalm 58. I want to look at verse 10. The

01:32:23.160 --> 01:32:25.280
Bible says the righteous shall rejoice when he seeeth the

01:32:25.280 --> 01:32:28.360
vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked

01:32:28.360 --> 01:32:31.360
so that a man shall say, barely there is a reward for the

01:32:31.360 --> 01:32:37.840
righteous. Verily, he is a God that judgeth in the earth. We

01:32:37.840 --> 01:32:42.920
always think like, well, eventually at heaven, we'll see,

01:32:42.960 --> 01:32:46.600
you know, it come to pass, the good will get what they got and

01:32:46.600 --> 01:32:50.480
the wicked will get what they got. No, no, no, that's not only

01:32:50.480 --> 01:32:56.800
true. God is a God that judges in the earth. God is not mocked.

01:32:57.200 --> 01:33:01.160
For whatsoever man soweth, that shall he also reap. You get up

01:33:01.160 --> 01:33:05.000
and you lie and you slander from your pulpit. God can cut

01:33:05.000 --> 01:33:10.160
you down. God can destroy you. You go out and you make stupid

01:33:10.160 --> 01:33:13.920
movies attacking men of God. Let me tell you something. You're

01:33:13.920 --> 01:33:17.720
going to reap the whirlwind, buddy. You're going to reap all

01:33:17.720 --> 01:33:21.760
kinds of wickedness because God is not mocked. You make a movie

01:33:21.760 --> 01:33:25.800
full of lies. And you know what? God is going to destroy you. God

01:33:25.800 --> 01:33:29.480
is going to cause so much pain and suffering upon you. God is

01:33:29.480 --> 01:33:32.880
not mocked. He judges in the earth. You go out and you lie and

01:33:32.880 --> 01:33:36.480
you slander about your parents. You're just cutting off every

01:33:36.480 --> 01:33:42.280
year of your life. Hey, why do you want to die at 25? Why do you

01:33:42.280 --> 01:33:45.400
want to die at 30? Why do you want to just destroy your life

01:33:45.400 --> 01:33:48.120
and your teeth and your mouth? You know what? God can do all

01:33:48.120 --> 01:33:51.560
kinds of things to you. You can work out and become a

01:33:51.560 --> 01:33:54.320
bodybuilder and God can cause you to get in an accident. You

01:33:54.320 --> 01:33:56.640
can be a vegetable for the rest of your life and all that

01:33:56.640 --> 01:34:00.960
bodybuilding will go to waste. Hey, you know what? God judges

01:34:00.960 --> 01:34:04.720
in the earth too, buddy. It's not only a judgment day. It can

01:34:04.720 --> 01:34:08.160
happen now too. And you know what you have to just wait for?

01:34:08.200 --> 01:34:12.840
Wait for the Lord. It's coming, buddy. You don't just attack

01:34:12.840 --> 01:34:16.440
God's people and attack men of God and get away with it. Never

01:34:16.440 --> 01:34:19.920
happens. Never works out. Where are all the protesters

01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:25.440
protesting me now, huh? In fact, there was one lesbian dyke that

01:34:25.440 --> 01:34:27.800
constantly harasses us and attacked us and follows

01:34:27.800 --> 01:34:30.760
everywhere. You know where she's at? She's in federal prison

01:34:30.760 --> 01:34:35.360
right now, rotting the rest of her miserable life away. That's

01:34:35.360 --> 01:34:41.960
where she's at right now. Hey, God will judge in the earth. And

01:34:41.960 --> 01:34:44.440
you know what? His people will be victorious. I want to go to

01:34:44.440 --> 01:34:46.800
one more place. Go to 2 Timothy chapter one. And you know what?

01:34:46.800 --> 01:34:50.520
When you get lied and ridiculed and mocked and you have to be

01:34:50.520 --> 01:34:54.640
scattered and you have to find another church, you have to just

01:34:54.640 --> 01:34:58.880
go and figure out where you're not, you feel non-wanted and

01:34:58.880 --> 01:35:01.840
you just have to figure out where to go. Hey, you know what?

01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:06.480
Just wait on the Lord. Trust the Lord. Seek the Lord. The story

01:35:06.480 --> 01:35:11.680
isn't over. In fact, it just began. It just started. You know,

01:35:11.680 --> 01:35:15.440
there's so many times in my life where you feel like a current

01:35:15.440 --> 01:35:21.440
situation is permanent. You feel like, oh man, this thing's over

01:35:21.440 --> 01:35:23.600
or this friendship's over. You know, some people think their

01:35:23.600 --> 01:35:26.960
marriage is over. Some people think, hey, you know, my

01:35:26.960 --> 01:35:31.120
situation is just screwed up with work or money or finances

01:35:31.120 --> 01:35:34.080
or whatever. And just God will just somehow intervene and

01:35:34.080 --> 01:35:36.800
everything changes. And you just like, wow, I didn't know I'm

01:35:36.800 --> 01:35:39.840
here. I mean, he's like, Joseph's in prison one day. Now

01:35:39.840 --> 01:35:42.880
he's the ruler of the entire nation the next day. That's

01:35:42.880 --> 01:35:45.600
pretty cool. It's like, you know, Daniel's thrown in the

01:35:45.600 --> 01:35:49.080
lion's den. Oh, next day he's out. You know, I don't know it

01:35:49.080 --> 01:35:51.440
was literally a day, but it's just, you know, basically, hey,

01:35:51.440 --> 01:35:54.880
it's a short space in the midst of tribulation. It can feel

01:35:54.880 --> 01:35:58.880
like, hey, it's never going to change. This is my new status

01:35:58.880 --> 01:36:02.320
quo. But you know what? God can change it like that. I mean,

01:36:02.320 --> 01:36:06.880
think about how bad things felt in COVID, the culture, people

01:36:06.880 --> 01:36:10.160
getting fired. And now it's like everybody's saying faggot

01:36:10.160 --> 01:36:12.880
and Jews suck. You know, it's just like we're having the

01:36:12.880 --> 01:36:16.400
anti-Israel conference. You know what I mean? It's like things

01:36:16.400 --> 01:36:20.560
can change. You know, just trust the Lord. When you're in a dark

01:36:20.560 --> 01:36:23.920
spot, just keep leaning into the Lord. Just keep waiting on

01:36:23.920 --> 01:36:27.360
him. Don't allow all the Christian derangement syndrome to

01:36:27.360 --> 01:36:30.160
cause you to get nervous. Oh, people don't like Pastor

01:36:30.160 --> 01:36:34.880
Shelley. I don't care. Let's see where they are in five years

01:36:34.880 --> 01:36:39.200
from now. Let's see where I am in five years from now. Look at

01:36:39.200 --> 01:36:43.280
2 Timothy chapter one. I'm sorry, chapter two is what I

01:36:43.280 --> 01:36:46.960
really want. Verse one. Thou therefore my son be strong in

01:36:46.960 --> 01:36:49.840
the grace that is in Christ Jesus and the things that thou

01:36:49.840 --> 01:36:52.160
has heard of me among many witnesses. The same commit thou

01:36:52.160 --> 01:36:54.640
to faithful men whose be able to teach others also. Thou

01:36:54.640 --> 01:36:58.000
therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

01:36:58.000 --> 01:37:00.160
You know, sometimes we just have to rest in the grace of

01:37:00.160 --> 01:37:03.440
Jesus Christ. We don't like the war. We don't like the battle.

01:37:03.440 --> 01:37:06.640
We don't like what's going on. You say, why keep doing it? Why

01:37:06.640 --> 01:37:09.440
show up to a conference? Like what church am I going to go to

01:37:09.440 --> 01:37:13.040
tomorrow? I don't know. I'm not even that certain about it. You

01:37:13.040 --> 01:37:18.800
know, why keep fighting? Why keep going? Why be steadfast? Look

01:37:18.800 --> 01:37:21.440
at verse eight. Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of

01:37:21.440 --> 01:37:24.160
David was raised from the dead according to my gospel. Wherein

01:37:24.160 --> 01:37:28.160
I suffer trouble as an evildoer even in the bonds. But the word

01:37:28.160 --> 01:37:33.440
of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all things for the

01:37:33.440 --> 01:37:38.000
elect's sakes. That they may also obtain the salvation which

01:37:38.000 --> 01:37:40.400
is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. Why do we keep

01:37:40.400 --> 01:37:42.800
fighting? Why do we keep going to church? Why do we keep

01:37:42.800 --> 01:37:46.960
reading our Bible so that another person can get saved?

01:37:46.960 --> 01:37:51.360
Just for another person to hear the gospel and to get saved

01:37:51.360 --> 01:37:54.720
and to go to heaven. And you know what? Nuts to all the lies

01:37:54.720 --> 01:37:57.520
and the slander and the persecution and the harassment

01:37:57.520 --> 01:38:01.600
and the weirdos and the freaks and the movies and the posters

01:38:01.600 --> 01:38:04.480
and the whatever. Who cares about any of that kind of stuff?

01:38:04.480 --> 01:38:08.240
You know, those people are lunatics. They've lost their

01:38:08.240 --> 01:38:14.480
mind. Why would I care what a lunatic thinks? You know what?

01:38:14.480 --> 01:38:17.680
And I'm gonna go through that. Why? So I can get another

01:38:17.680 --> 01:38:22.240
person saved. And you know what? You get in the train of the

01:38:22.240 --> 01:38:25.200
new IFB, you're gonna see people losing their minds every

01:38:25.200 --> 01:38:30.240
single day. But you know what? All the normal people are here.

01:38:30.240 --> 01:38:32.560
Say, oh, the normal people left. Have you seen the people

01:38:32.560 --> 01:38:35.120
that left?

01:38:38.080 --> 01:38:42.400
Wow. Some of the people that have left are the weirdest

01:38:42.400 --> 01:38:47.520
freaks I've ever seen in my life. Okay, the normal people

01:38:47.520 --> 01:38:50.320
are at church, folks. We go out soul winning and it's like,

01:38:50.320 --> 01:38:53.760
it's real normal in here. And sometimes y'all are weird, but

01:38:53.760 --> 01:38:57.040
I'm just saying it's normal in comparison, alright? But you

01:38:57.040 --> 01:39:00.160
know what? Don't get discouraged by this world. Don't let the

01:39:00.160 --> 01:39:03.360
crazy lunatics get you down. Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of

01:39:03.360 --> 01:39:05.920
people losing their mind, have a Christian derangement

01:39:05.920 --> 01:39:09.520
syndrome. I mean, they killed Jesus, folks. Why would it be

01:39:09.520 --> 01:39:13.040
any different from us? If they called the master of the house

01:39:13.040 --> 01:39:16.720
Beelzebub, how much more they have his household? If they

01:39:16.720 --> 01:39:20.160
called Jesus, you know, a devil, having a devil, what are

01:39:20.160 --> 01:39:23.680
they gonna call us? And why do we care about names? You know,

01:39:23.680 --> 01:39:26.880
let us be steadfast for the elect's sake. Let's close in

01:39:26.880 --> 01:39:30.000
prayer. Thank you, Heavenly Father, so much for your word.

01:39:30.000 --> 01:39:33.520
Thank you for giving us so many examples in the Bible of

01:39:33.520 --> 01:39:35.760
godly men doing the right thing and just people just

01:39:35.760 --> 01:39:38.720
attacking them for no reason, just losing their minds so that

01:39:38.720 --> 01:39:42.080
we can understand that when we try to serve you, when we try

01:39:42.080 --> 01:39:44.400
to do the right thing, when we try to be humble, people will

01:39:44.400 --> 01:39:48.960
attack us and lose their mind and have bad attitudes. Please

01:39:48.960 --> 01:39:52.240
don't allow that to discourage us. Please help us to be

01:39:52.240 --> 01:39:55.840
strengthened. Please help us to have resolve and to be

01:39:55.840 --> 01:39:58.480
steadfast for the elect's sake to realize that we need to get

01:39:58.480 --> 01:40:01.280
more people saved and I pray you would help any of us. If any

01:40:01.280 --> 01:40:04.720
of us have, you know, a little bit of envy in our hearts, I

01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:07.840
pray you would help us to rid ourselves of that, to crush that,

01:40:07.840 --> 01:40:10.960
to humble ourselves and realize it's not about us. It's about

01:40:10.960 --> 01:40:13.840
the gospel. It's about Jesus. It's about getting people saved

01:40:13.840 --> 01:40:16.320
and let us have that heart and mindset in Jesus name. We pray

01:40:16.320 --> 01:40:18.720
Amen.

01:40:21.520 --> 01:40:25.760
Amen. Let's sing our last song on page number 11. He keeps

01:40:25.760 --> 01:40:31.200
me singing on page number 11 on your bulletin. He keeps me

01:40:31.200 --> 01:40:33.760
singing.

01:40:38.160 --> 01:40:41.760
He keeps me singing nice and strong together on that first

01:40:41.760 --> 01:40:44.240
verse.

01:40:46.640 --> 01:40:53.600
There's within my heart a melody. Jesus whispers sweet and

01:40:53.600 --> 01:41:00.560
low. Hear not I am with thee. Peace be still. In all life's

01:41:00.560 --> 01:41:10.160
life's heaven flow. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Sweetest name I

01:41:10.160 --> 01:41:20.560
know. Fills my every longing. Keeps me singing as I go. All

01:41:20.560 --> 01:41:25.440
my life was wrecked by sin and strife. This heart filled my

01:41:25.440 --> 01:41:32.400
heart with pain. Jesus swept across the broken streams.

01:41:32.400 --> 01:41:40.560
Stirred the slump and thorns again. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

01:41:40.560 --> 01:41:49.280
Sweetest name I know. Fills my every longing. Keeps me

01:41:49.280 --> 01:41:57.360
singing as I go. Feasting on the riches of his grace. Resting

01:41:57.360 --> 01:42:04.000
beneath the sheltering wing. Always looking on his smiling

01:42:04.000 --> 01:42:13.040
face. That is why I shout and sing. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

01:42:13.040 --> 01:42:21.760
Sweetest name I know. Fills my every longing. Keeps me

01:42:21.760 --> 01:42:28.400
singing as I go. Though sometimes he leads through waters

01:42:28.400 --> 01:42:34.960
deep. Travels all across the way. Though sometimes the path

01:42:34.960 --> 01:42:42.560
seems rough and steep. See his footprints all the way. Jesus,

01:42:42.560 --> 01:42:53.600
Jesus, Jesus. Sweetest name I know. Fills my every longing.

01:42:53.600 --> 01:43:00.800
Keeps me singing as I go. Soon he's coming back to welcome

01:43:00.800 --> 01:43:08.560
me. Far beyond the starry sky. I shall wing to fly to worlds

01:43:08.560 --> 01:43:17.920
unknown. I shall reign with him on high. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

01:43:17.920 --> 01:43:26.720
Sweetest name I know. Fills my every longing. Keeps me

01:43:26.720 --> 01:43:32.400
singing as I go. Before we dismiss, we're going to have

01:43:32.400 --> 01:43:34.960
two lines up along the walls right here for the food and

01:43:34.960 --> 01:43:37.120
then let's just go ahead and pray for the food. Dear Lord,

01:43:37.120 --> 01:43:38.880
we just thank you for this day and thank you for the

01:43:38.880 --> 01:43:40.720
preaching tonight, Lord. We ask that you bless Pastor

01:43:40.720 --> 01:43:43.440
Anderson's sermon as well. Please just bless his food. Help

01:43:43.440 --> 01:43:45.280
it to be nourishing to our bodies and help us all to get

01:43:45.280 --> 01:43:48.160
home safely after this. Thank you, Lord. Jesus, may we pray.

01:43:48.160 --> 01:43:51.520
Amen. You are dismissed.
