You know the house of Stephanus that is the firstfruits of Accea, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints. That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboreth. I am glad of the coming of Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaeacus, for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied, for they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge ye them that are such. The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with a toast, a toast, a toast, and a toast.
All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
The salutation of me, Paul, with mine own hand.
If any man loved not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema of Maranatha.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stefanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus and Timotheus.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this opportunity to gather here today and hear your word preached to us.
Please open up your ears and minds in order to be hearers of the word and doers of the words as well.
And Lord, please take care and heal all the sick amongst us so that we continue to serve you.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
Amen. It's great to be back with you this evening.
It's great to be back this evening with you guys.
And the title of my sermon this evening is "Soft Men vs. Strong Men."
And we have an epidemic in the world today of soft men and it really pisses me off.
And, you know, the Bible says here in 1 Corinthians chapter 16, look what it says in verse 13,
"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong."
The Bible commands men to be strong.
It's not my idea.
I'm not just preaching some wild personal conviction here.
The Bible is commanding men, "Quit you like men and be strong."
Now, quit you like men, kind of a phrase we don't really use in our modern understanding or vernacular.
But an older understanding of the word quit just means to conduct oneself or how you behave.
So what this is saying is behave like a man and be strong.
So men are supposed to act a particular way there to be strong.
And of course the Bible tells us that women are the weaker vessel and so that means that men are supposed to be stronger.
So you shouldn't act like a woman, you should act differently, you should act like a man.
And often it seems like this kind of woman-hating attitude that comes from some single guys out there,
they're always trying to remind women that they're the weaker vessel.
You don't have to remind them that they're the weaker vessel, just be strong.
When you're soft, you have to kind of feel like you have to tell women, "Hey, you're supposed to be weaker."
If you're just strong, you don't have to remind them.
It's just evident that you're much different and that you're much stronger.
And I have a lot of points that I want to make this evening, but what would be the opposite of this would be being soft.
Now, just for sake of remembering my sermon a little bit better, I'm using some alliteration here.
So all of my points that are negative are going to be symbolized with an F, all right.
And then you got all the good ones are going to be symbolized with an S, all right.
So don't be feeble, be strong.
Okay, don't be feeble, be strong.
Go to Ephesians chapter six, go to Ephesians chapter six.
Now I'm going to make a lot of biblical points quickly and then I'm going to get into a lot of preaching.
So, you know, I just want to make some of these points that are clear in the Bible.
And then I want to just talk about them and elaborate on them quite a bit.
But Bible tells us that men that we shouldn't be soft, we shouldn't be feeble.
Now, when I was looking up soft in a dictionary, the first definition of soft was this.
Yielding readily to pressure.
Meaning that you essentially just quit quickly.
You succumb.
You're push over.
You just let go.
You're not going to put up a fight.
That's kind of the idea of being soft.
Whereas the idea of being strong is that you're not going to quit easily.
You don't buckle under pressure.
But you know what? You're going to stick with it.
You're going to be steadfast, aren't you?
And I believe as Christian men, we should not be easily pushed over.
We should not give up easily.
We should not succumb to pressures.
But rather we should be strong.
And we should be like Christ.
We should be like a rock, which is unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.
And we need to be strong today.
And a lot of people are just feeble.
You kind of have this term thrown out there of a snowflake generation.
I'm telling you it's real.
And I'm not even just saying in the world.
You'll meet men even in church that are snowflakes.
And it's sad, it's pathetic, it's embarrassing.
Men are constantly, to me, men, I'm constantly embarrassed for them.
I'm having second-hand embarrassment of how much of a snowflake they are
and how sensitive they are.
And, of course, the world wants to confuse you and make you think like,
"Hey, as a man, it's okay to be sensitive."
This is not true.
There's lots of things in this world that should not be sensitive.
And if you're sensitive, there's a problem.
Here's one analogy that I like, your teeth.
You know, your teeth, if you go to the dentist, you know what they do?
They get this sharp little prick device and they poke at your teeth.
They just go around and they're just poking everywhere with this sharp metal device.
And you know what they're checking for?
Sensitivity on your tooth.
Because if it's too soft somewhere, that's a problem.
And they say if it's soft, it's either potentially developing a cavity
or it already has developed a cavity and it's a bad thing.
You don't want your teeth to be too sensitive or too soft in certain areas.
It's unhealthy.
It needs to be strong.
And in the same way, if men get that little bit of poke and it's too sensitive,
there's a problem with the man.
You can be too sensitive and too soft as a man.
And you know what?
Men should not be so feeble that a little poking causes them to bleed.
That causes them to just have all these problems.
You know what? They should be tough and be able to take some poking, take some prodding.
It needs to be hard.
Not everything can be sensitive.
Obviously, when you talk about a pillow, hey, we want that to be soft, right?
There's things in this life that should be soft.
There's things in this life that should be sensitive.
Obviously, God gave you a mother, okay?
But he also should have given you a man as a father.
And you know what? He needs to be strong.
He needs to be different.
And my children know this difference.
If they are injured or upset
or need someone to cuddle them or coddle them, it's mom.
'Cause dad doesn't do that.
Dad is not the same as mom.
And you know what? It's good to have both.
You don't want to have two moms, all right?
This isn't faggot month that we're celebrating tonight, okay?
We don't need two moms. We need a dad in the home.
And boy, if the black community has taught you anything,
not having a dad in the home ruins everything.
We need some men in the home,
and we need them to be strong, not feeble.
Ephesians chapter 6, look at verse 10.
"Finally, my brethren, be strong
in the Lord and in the power of His might."
We are to be strong.
Now, I could just show you a slew of verses.
The Bible tells you to be very strong,
very courageous in the book of Joshua.
Just over and over, the Bible's telling men
to be strong, courageous, tough,
bold, standing up for the things of God.
You can't be too sensitive.
You can't be feeble.
You can't be a snowflake!
Go over to 2 Timothy chapter 2.
It just surprises me
how men that are attracted to
"new IFB preaching"
can be so sensitive.
I'm thinking like, have you ever heard us preach?
Do you even know who we are?
Like, how are you just so sensitive
about words or your feelings
or your emotions?
Like, I don't have time for this.
I don't have time to babysit men's emotions
and make sure you get a cuddle bear
or something like that.
You know, you need to be strong.
You need to be able to handle other people
at the end of the day.
And we need some men to have some strength
and not be so feeble,
not just be so offended easily.
Second Timothy, chapter number two,
look at verse number three.
"Thou therefore endure hardness
as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
God likens spiritual truths
with carnal truths.
Look, the military doesn't have a place
for sensitivity.
And America is destroying its military
training, and inclusion, and all this nonsense.
But at the end of the day, on the battlefield,
we don't have time to check your feelings.
Make sure that
someone didn't insult you or something like that.
I mean, this is literal war.
And you know, we're in a spiritual battle today.
We don't necessarily have time
to check everyone's little feelings
and make sure you feel okay.
And did you get a participation trophy?
And did you get a ribbon?
And are you okay?
You know what? Sometimes you just need
a lot of truth as a man and just get over it.
You know, HR departments have just ruined companies
because now you can't just yell
at your employees and just tell them like you suck
and this is bad
because everybody gets their feelings hurt or something.
And of course we have all these women that we have to work around
and so they're so soft
that we can't just yell at them and scream at them
because they cry.
Yes, I've worked in a software industry
and we hired a woman, I don't know why,
and of course she cried on the first day of the job.
She cried all the time
because the boss would yell at her.
And look, yeah, the boss asked her,
"Hey, do you know this?" She lies.
He kind of embarrasses her because it's like,
"Hey, you don't. You lied about this."
And then she starts crying and it's just like,
"What in the world? You know what?
We don't have time for this.
We don't have time in Christianity for men
to make sure that all their feelings
aren't getting hurt or something like that.
We're supposed to be able to endure a little bit of hardness.
And on the battlefield, you know what?
There's going to be casualties.
There's going to be terrible situations.
There's going to be times where you don't get exactly what you want.
You miss a meal.
You didn't get all the sleep you needed.
You have a headache.
It's so pathetic to me how some men,
it's like they miss everything
when they don't feel 100%.
Their tummy hurts.
They've got a headache.
Okay, pop some pills, let's go.
Drink some water.
If you need to take a nap, take a nap.
But quit complaining about it.
As a man, there's going to just be some days
where you just have a bad day
and you just have to get through it.
You didn't get enough sleep, or you had a headache,
or your tummy hurts, or you don't like
what's going on, and you just have to
grin and bear it.
It's called being tough. It's called being a man.
Be strong. Endure some
hardness. What if the Apostle Paul
had this attitude? I mean the Apostle Paul
has to get stoned, shipwrecked,
spend the night and day in
the deep. You think that guy can endure
a little bit of hardness?
Do you think the Apostle Paul is sitting here complaining
about headaches or something like that?
I mean it's just silly
how sensitive and how soft
men are today. And boy, if you have
a military background, you are probably
just wanting to just gag yourself
on how soft men can be in America
today. You're just thinking like, boy, you
would not survive boot camp for one day.
You would not survive
very much opposition whatsoever.
And you know what, it's kind of appalling
that Christian men today are so
soft. Go to the non-denominational church
and you'll find a bunch of soft men today.
Feeble men that talk about their
feelings and all their sensitivities
and it's just like, dude, we don't care.
We can hardly pay attention when our wife's
telling us about her feelings.
We're just sitting here and they're like, yeah,
sure, whatever. She's like, are you
paying attention? It's like, no.
I don't, you know, what's the problem?
We just don't get it. I'm not
into that. Look at verse 9.
Where did I suffer troubles and evildoer even
under bonds? But the word of God is not bound.
Therefore I endure all things
for the elect's sakes
that they may also obtain the salvation which is in
Christ Jesus with eternal glory. You know, sometimes you just have to
endure stuff that you don't want to deal with.
What is enduring? You don't like it.
Jesus Christ had to endure the
cross despising the shame. Do you think he
really loved that? Do you think Jesus
was feeling good when he'd been
whipped? You know, you talk about your
headache. How about having a crown of thorns
shoved on your head? You think your head
hurt for that one? Drinking
some poison drink, happened
to bear his own cross and carry
it up onto Mount Calvary. You think
he really liked that? You think he really wanted
to go through that? No!
You know what? Jesus Christ is a man!
Jesus Christ is strong!
Jesus Christ was, they
were saying he's beside himself, he's just
working so hard. He's not getting
all the sleep he needs. You
think that he's getting all the sleep he needs
when he's staying up all night praying
before he's going to go through one of those
excruciating, painful experiences
man has ever gone through? And then
man has to complain about the littlest,
most pettiest things. It's
embarrassing. It is
embarrassing. Why can't you be
a little bit strong? Go to 1 Corinthians
chapter 13. Quit being a snowflake.
Uh, you know,
I don't really like what you said. It offends
me. I think the preacher was
preaching about me. Good! You
need it. Hey, was that sermon about me?
Yes. Is the preacher mad at
me? Probably. Do I need to change?
Of course. Quit
I mean, how many men, they're just like,
"Oh, I think the preacher is preaching about me."
Good! Like, why is that?
Do you really want to go to church? I mean, think about the
opposites. Do you really want to go to church? The preacher
never preached anything that had anything to do with me.
Why would I want to go to a church like that?
Like, what's the point of wasting hours
of every week to show up somewhere
to have no preaching applied to you
at all? That doesn't even make sense.
You know what? I would rather maximize
the opportunities. I'd rather go to church where it felt like
every sermon is about me. Why would I want to go
to church and I just feel like, oh man, he just keeps
preaching about things that have nothing to do with me,
no application, no
relevance. I want to show up at
church where I feel like, man, every sermon I feel like
is just pointed right at me. And
I need to fix, I need to change.
Because it's a blessing for someone to help you get better.
If he's never, if he's never getting onto
your sin, you know, you're kind of at a disservice.
It's actually a blessing if he's
calling you out with your sin.
And look, in the Bible,
they're calling people out by name in the room.
People think like, oh man, I think
other people might could have tell
that this is about me. It's like, how about
when they're just using your name? How about in 1 Corinthians
chapter number 5 when they're like, hey, that guy
in this church that's sleeping with his father's wife.
I think everybody knew who that guy was.
I think everybody kind of knew who
Jezebel was when he named Jezebel.
Hey, there's a woman in your church
named Jezebel.
Wink, wink, nod, nod. We know who that is.
And she's wicked.
It's like, oh man, how dare you name names.
That's Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation.
And it wasn't even to one church.
It was to seven churches which are in Asia.
Right. Oh, you're talking about drama
in another church. Oh yeah, that's Jesus again.
You know, people are so soft today.
Oh, did you know this preacher preached
and it was kind of about me or whatever? Good.
This preacher named somebody.
He's calling people out. Sounds like
Jesus. Sounds like he's Paul.
You know, people are just so soft
today and it's just sick.
You know, one of the attitudes of a godly Christian is
one that just doesn't get offended by stuff at all.
Look at 1 Corinthians and
we're reading about charity here.
Verse 4, charity suffereth long and is kind.
Charity envieth not.
Charity vaunteth not itself. Is not
puffed up. Does not behave itself
unseemly. Seeketh not our own. Notice this.
Is not easily
provoked. If you are easily
provoked, you have no charity.
You can't have both. If you are easily
triggered, you don't have charity.
The liberals are not charitable.
Leftists are not charitable. Democrats are
not charitable. They don't have godly charity.
They are very easily triggered.
Faggots have zero charity.
You look at a tranny and you
accidentally say sir or something.
It's like it's ma'am. Has no charity.
It's easily provoked
today. And you know what? How
embarrassing is it when a man
is just easily triggered about everything.
You just get this second hand
embarrassment for them. Go up to Proverbs
chapter 24, go to Proverbs chapter 4. We need
to be strong and not feeble. We need to be the kind
of guy that it's like man it doesn't really matter
what you say, what you do around this guy.
He doesn't care. Honey badger don't care.
I mean that's the kind of men that I want
to be around. I don't want to be around men
where I feel so
nervous and I have to walk on
eggshells about everything I do
and everything I say
and they're going to just be
so triggered by anything
and everything. They can't take a joke.
They can't take a criticism.
They can't take a sermon.
You know what? That is someone that doesn't like
hard preaching. Recently there was a single
guy that rage quit
our church because
seven months ago when we were at
our chili cook-off I was looking
for judges and I couldn't find enough because
most every husband, his
wife entered in the chili competition.
I don't want, you know, there to be bias so I
don't let them judge. So I said, there's a
bunch of single guys there. I said, hey, any of you
women-less men can help me judge?
The guy never said anything at the time, never brought up.
Now seven months later he's rage
quit the church because of that
joke. Dude, you're in the new
IFB and you can't even
take a joke? You can't even take
a little comment? What's wrong
with you? That is just so
soft. That is so feeble.
Hey, you're going to a soul winning church
reaching thousands of people with the Gospel
and you can't even take a joke?
You're a joke! And how in the world are you
going to say that you have charity
when you're that easily provoked?
You would not be able to take any kind of adversity.
And, you know, it's just sad that we have
people that act like this, that
get so offended. You know, the Bible
says if the foot men have weary thee
how are you going to contend with horses?
I mean, the Bible is saying, hey, not only you need to run
with men, you need to run with horses.
But you can't take a joke.
Wow, wow. And this person wants me to apologize
and I'm like, I'm not going to apologize to you.
That'll only make you worse. I said, you know what?
You need to just man up. You need to quit
you like a man and be strong
and get over yourself and just
move on with your life and accept your reality.
But this person's sensitive in this
area because they're single, not my
fault. I'm not telling women not to
date you. You're doing a good job without your own.
How's that my problem? You know, I
really have a hard time empathizing
with the single guys as much just because in the
Bible, I don't read about all these guys
struggling to be with women. I
read the opposite. Have you ever read the Bible?
I mean, how many guys in the Bible are
struggling with finding
a woman? It's like finding too many women.
You kind of have the Benjamites, I guess,
but like they go just grab a girl, dance, and they're like
be my wife, you know what I mean?
Just like bam, just grab one or whatever.
You know, you read about a small
group of people, they just, they have that whole
story about Benjamin, and
they get decimated, and they have like a few
guys left and they're like, what are we going to do for wives?
And they're like, there's some girls dancing, grab one!
Come on! It's like
David, explaining to David like
man, you know,
women, he's like, yeah, I got way too many.
Solomon, way too
many. Okay, there's, men have
a problem with women, but it's not the way you have
it, alright? I'll just say that.
Why? Because strong men don't have that problem,
soft men have that problem. You know, why
is it that Japan is struggling,
all young ladies are struggling, to get husbands?
Because the guys are soft!
You know, probably France is the same
issue, because the men are soft. I'll tell you
what, soft men do not
attract women. If you want a
woman, be strong. And you know what, being
offended by jokes is not going to win you over
with women. If you complain to your wife
about, "Man, this guy made a joke and I'm just
all offended," she's going to look at you
like you're sad. And if you were dating, she might
break up with you, I don't know. I mean, it's just...
I'm just trying to give you some advice here.
If you don't like my advice, you can go anywhere else, I don't
care. Past Vanuers will be back next week.
Proverbs 24, look at verse 5.
"A wise man is strong.
Yea, a man of knowledge increases
strength." So point one is this.
Instead of being feeble, you need to be strong.
Here's the second point. Instead
of being a fool, you need to be smart.
Wise, wise men
are going to be strong and they're
going to increase strength. That
tells me that strong men are wise.
And, you know, at the end of the day,
what does this really look like? Well, when you
don't have answers, when you can't say
anything, when you have nothing to say,
it's being soft. Whereas when you're
ready, you're bold, and you have an answer,
that's being tough. You know, you ask the Jehovah's Witness
what you have to do to be saved, and it's going to be a
soft answer. You ask the
non-denominational pastor about
doctrine, he's going to give you a soft answer
because he doesn't really know what to say.
They're confused, they themselves
don't know. Hey, you ask a man in faith
for a Baptist church, he'll show you in 10 minutes
how to be saved, with confidence.
They'll say, no one can know if they're saved.
Someone from this church will say, I know how to be saved.
I am saved, and I can show you
how to get saved right now.
Because he's strong, because he's smart,
because he's wise, because he has answers.
A fool doesn't even know what to say.
And because he doesn't have anything to say,
because he's stupid, because he has
not read anything, he hasn't learned anything,
he doesn't have knowledge, he's soft.
What does the Bible say in the next few verses?
Look at verse number seven.
Wisdom is too high for a fool,
openeth not his mouth in the gate.
When you don't have wisdom,
you don't stand up and you don't judge.
You don't call anything out.
Why is it that non-denominational pastors,
why is it that all of these
Southern Baptist preachers
aren't ever getting up in the news,
they're not getting headlines like
Pastor Oz of "It's terrifying,"
because they have nothing to say!
Because they're soft!
Why is it that they're not getting all these clips
of their hard preaching and ripping face
and calling people out? It's because
they're soft! It's because they're fools
and they don't have anything
to say! So they shut their mouths
and they say nothing. You know what? It takes a
strong man to learn what the Bible says,
hear the harsh truths, and then just open
his mouth and say it. You know what? Jesus Christ
crushed the Pharisees in
arguments. Who was put to silence?
The Pharisees were put to silence because
they're fools and they have nothing to say. Paul put
the Jews to silence.
Stephen smashed the Jews.
They didn't have anything to say so they had to just try and kill
them. Apollo was a man
mighty in the Scriptures and mighty in the Word
and he was able to mightily convince
the Jews because he was wise
and he had something to say. You know what? Being
strong is having answers.
The Bible says that if a woman wants to learn
anything she's supposed to ask her husband at home
and you know what a woman likes? A woman
likes a man that has answers.
Not a fool that just says, "I don't know,
I don't care. I'm just gonna
drink my beer and watch NASCAR."
What a loser.
What does the Bible say?
You know what?
You sound like somebody from
the south. And look, I'm from the south.
We're not all retards, okay?
Some people are. But,
you know, Florida man, that guy,
he'll just open his mouth and say,
"I'm a retard." From the pulpit.
There was a guy preaching behind a pulpit
in Florida, at a church
called Revival Baptist Church,
saying, "I'm a retard. I'm an idiot.
I don't even know how to put a puzzle together.
I can't even read half the words on this page.
That is not a strong man!
That is not what the Bible teaches!
The Bible says to get wisdom!
Can you imagine saying,
"Hey, I'm going to get up here and preach this book.
I don't even know what half the words are on this page."
Can we get anybody else up here to teach?
Is that the best guy in the room?
Like, if he knows only half,
what does the rest of the crowd know?
I mean, he's just a functioning idiot?
Like, how in the world is that
the Word of God being thundered forth from a pulpit?
Of course they're not going to preach the hard truths of the Bible,
because they're espousing foolishness, nonsense, stupidity.
And this is what the world's turning into.
It's turning into the movie Idiocracy,
where everybody just watches a man's rear end fart on screen and laugh.
That's what the movie's about.
Isn't that what the world's deteriorating into?
TikTok and shorts, just watching slap humor, slapstick comedy,
where people are just falling down, hurting themselves.
You know, the movie Jackass, where they just go around and hurt themselves.
It's so funny.
How is hurting yourself funny?
You know, in the Bible, when people hurt themselves, they said,
"Oh, they're demon-possessed."
They didn't think that that was super cool.
That's being a fool.
And you know what? That's being soft.
Smart men, wise men have something to say.
You know what the Bible says in Jude chapter 1
that we're supposed to earnestly contend for the faith
which was once delivered unto the saints.
How are you supposed to do that if you have nothing to say?
Men are supposed to fight!
And we fight with our words.
We fight with the truth.
We fight with knowledge.
If your wife has a question, you give her an answer.
There was a time when me and my wife were reading through the Bible
and I was trying to convince her of the King James and different doctrines.
And I was trying to say like, "Hey, if you have a question, ask me."
And I remember she asked me at one point like Mark 13.
She says, "What is this chapter?"
She's like, "I have a question in this chapter."
And I didn't know what the question was, but I thought, you know,
I don't want to go home and her ask me this question.
And then I'm like, kind of just in shock.
I don't know what to say or whatever.
So I'm like, okay, I'm just going to read this whole chapter,
and I'm going to think about every verse.
And if I don't feel confident about every verse,
I'm going to figure it out before I get home.
So I'm like reading it, and then it says like, "After that tribulation."
And I was like, "What in the world did that just say?"
Because that was pre-trip at the time.
And I'm thinking like, "What in the world?"
So then I'm like flipping to first Thessalonians 4,
and I'm like studying.
And then I basically became post-trip before I got home,
because I'm just like, "Well, I bet that's her question."
And I'm all like ready.
I'm all like ready when she comes home, you know,
for the question.
I think she forgot.
She didn't even care later.
But you know what?
I did not want to show up ill-prepared.
I didn't want to be soft.
I didn't want to show up, and my wife's like,
"Hey, what does the Bible mean?"
I'm like, "I don't know."
I wanted to be ready.
I wanted to have an answer.
I wanted to say, "This is what this verse means.
This is what the Bible is saying."
You know what?
That's what a strong man is like,
is a man that can explain the Bible to his wife,
and he has an answer, and he's confident,
and he knows what the book says.
And, look, if you're saved and have the Holy Spirit,
there is nothing in the Bible you can't understand.
On your own, if you read, and you study,
and you pray, and you ask God for wisdom,
and you should be doing that every day.
I don't care if you're never going to be a pastor.
You better know what the Bible says,
and you better have answers for your wife.
Otherwise, you're soft.
You know what?
Women want a husband that are explaining the Bible to them.
And, you know, I thought about this, like, womanless man thing.
I don't even know if that's even unbiblical to say that.
Because, you know, the Bible talks about women
asking men to marry them to take away their reproach.
Saying, like, not getting married for a really long period of time
is, like, kind of a reproach.
Why do you think that Leah is given unto Jacob?
Because it was embarrassing.
If Rachel got married before Leah,
it's kind of like, what's going on?
What's wrong with Leah?
So, you know, her dad kind of had to trick Jacob
into marrying Leah so that she wouldn't have that reproach
of no one wanting to marry her.
And at the end of the day, it's like, yeah,
if you're just really undesirable,
maybe there's something you can change.
Now, look, being single,
there's nothing wrong with being single.
According to the Bible, you can be single,
and in fact, you can be the greatest Christian alive
like the impossible.
But at the end of the day, yeah, you know,
usually people are single for a reason,
and don't be too sensitive.
Just realize where you can change and change.
And if you're a man, maybe you're just too soft.
Maybe you're just a little bit soft in some area,
like you're a snowflake and get offended by jokes.
Or you have nothing to say, you don't know what the Bible says.
Go over to Proverbs 24, I don't know if you've changed or not,
but look at verse 10 now.
The Bible says this, "If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small."
So number one, don't be feeble, be strong.
Number two, don't be a fool, be smart.
Number three, don't faint, be steadfast.
Hey, when there's any kind of opposition,
when there's something that goes against you, you know what?
Don't faint, be steadfast.
Actually endure some difficulty.
Have some faith in the Word of God.
Have some faith in the Bible.
You know, we go through, as our churches,
we go through a little bit of persecution.
And I say little bit because have you ever read the Bible?
They're actually put in prison and killed
and horrible things are happening to them.
We have the occasional protester or something.
It's like, wow, big whoop.
The persecution that we endure is so light.
I feel like the apostles have second-hand embarrassment
when people are offended by our persecution.
They're thinking like, man, that's really sad.
You know, we're over here, like the Apostle Paul
is being drug out of the city and stoned to death,
and you're like, a protester might show up.
Wow. And you're so offended.
You know, that's fainting in the day of adversity.
And it's like, how are you going to go through the great tribulation
when the Antichrist is calling for your head
and you're afraid of one little tiny dike protester?
You're afraid of a faggot, some dude in a dress.
How are you afraid of that?
You know, it's just sad.
Or here's the thing, some pastors,
they're afraid of the deacons of their church.
They're afraid of the deacons wise in their church.
Some pastors are afraid of their own wife.
How are you going to face the Antichrist
when you can't even tell your wife what to do?
You can't even tell your church members what to do.
You can't even just be a man.
Hey, you know what, when you get a little bit of adversity,
don't faint, be steadfast.
Hey, you know what, churches, they're going to have ebbs and flows.
Churches are going to constantly have people come and go all the time.
So don't faint. You know, this is what's sad.
Some people have moved to this church with no friends.
I mean, how many people have moved across the country to come to this church?
Yeah, and I guarantee most of you didn't even have a friend here when you came.
But then you might make a great friend. That's a cherry on the top.
But then what happens when your great friend leaves?
Why in the world would you leave the church? You didn't move here for them.
You didn't move here for that person. You moved here to go to a good church.
So why in the world, if you lost a friend, would you leave a church?
But you know, people do that.
move like 1400 miles to come to our church and they live like 10 minutes from the church.
And I'm like, yeah, we're going to have to probably move. We move like 20 minutes away.
Now it's too far. I'm like, you moved 1400 miles to come to this church and now 20 minutes
is too far? Like what is wrong with you? Who in here drives longer than 20 minutes to church?
Yeah, hands all over the building. Yeah, it's just called reality. It's called life. That's
not being someone that's strong and someone that's soft. That's someone that faints in
the day of adversity. A 20 minute car drive. That is not adversity. I mean the adversity
that men are fainting at, I mean I've had grown men tell me they can't come to church
because now it's going to be a 20 minute drive. I'm thinking like, wow, you're soft. Wow,
that's crazy. Go to John chapter 6, go to John chapter 6. I'm trying to get through
these points really quick because I have a lot more things to yell at you. Why? You need
to stop being soft. And you know what? Sometimes when men come to me and they're being a little
soft, I might be a little bit gracious to them. But you know what? I don't want you
to think I will be. I want you to anticipate I won't treat you that way. Okay? Because
you need to be tough. And you know, hey, I'm not saying that men can't cry. I'm not saying
that men can't be emotional. You know what? If your wife dies, I hope you cry. If your
children die, I hope you cry. Hey, if you get your arm blown off, you can cry. Okay?
If someone tells a joke about you and you cry, you're a wussy. You're a pansy. You're
way too soft. Just like your teeth. Hey, you know, if they poke me with a little poker,
it should just be solid. If someone throws a rock at my teeth and they break, well, okay,
that happens, right? And at the end of the day, yeah, obviously men can be emotional.
Hey, we need to condescend them in a little estate. We need to weep with them that weep.
There's a time to weep and there's a time to cry. But you know what? It's not about
your feelings getting hurt because of a joke or some little insensitivity or something.
You know, that's just sad and it's embarrassing. It's just really, really embarrassing. And
here's another thing that men do that are really soft is they fear. Soft men are afraid
and they fear. But you know what? We should be, we should be sure. Look what it says in
John 6 verse 66. "From that time, many of his disciples went back and walked no more
with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, 'Will ye also go away?' Then Simon Peter
answered him, 'Lord, to him shall we go.'" That's the words of eternal life. "And we
believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God." Hey, a
lot of people quit, a lot of people gave up, but you know what? The disciples said,
"Hey, we're sure that you're Jesus Christ." And you know what? Don't give up on
Christianity. Don't give up on the Word of God. Don't give up on a great,
soul-winning church. Just be sure that you're gonna serve God. Be confident in
the things of God. Don't be afraid. Don't fear. Don't give up because of adversity.
Don't think. Be steadfast. Don't fear. Be sure. We should be sure and steadfast.
Isn't that what we sing in the hymns? Go over to 2nd Timothy chapter 1. Hey, you
know what you should do? You should be ready for some persecution. You know, it's
sad how athletes today that aren't even doing any kind of real spiritual work
can be more tough than Christians. You know, athletes, they kind of want adversity.
Football players, they kind of want to get hit. They want to hit somebody and
they want to get hit. Hockey players, they're ready to fight. In fact, one of
their attributes that they look at them and they say, "Hey, we're evaluating how
good a player you are," their fighting ability is one of those assets. And how
hard they hit people is another one of their assets. And if someone's too soft,
they don't want to play them. And it's kind of sad how there's so many men
that are just so soft they can't take a hit. And they can't give a hit. And they
don't want to get hit. You know what? As a man, you got to be ready. Hey, I'm going to
take some hits. 2nd Timothy chapter 1, look at verse 8. "Be not that they were
ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor me as prisoner, but be thou partaker of
the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God." Hey, if you're going to
serve Jesus Christ, yet all that will have gobbled in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution. If you try to serve God, guess what? Your in-laws are going to say
bad things about you. Your parents may say things that are nasty about you. Your
brother and sister and cousin and uncle and aunt and whoever, your best friend,
your high school best friend, your co-worker, your boss, your mayor, your
governor, whoever, they're gonna say mean nasty horrible things about you. Just be
a partaker of the afflictions of the gospel. Just say hey I'm ready to take
some hits. Hey I'm ready for you to say nasty evil things about me because I
know you're lying. I'm gonna, I'm ready to do this because you know what? I'm
supposed to be like Christ and I'm supposed to be ready to take some hits.
Jesus Christ had to be ready to take some hits. Why do you think he was
praying in the Garden of Gethsemane? He knew he was about to take some hits. Now
he wasn't looking for the hits. He didn't necessarily just want to go through
unnecessary pain but he said, "Hey, not my will be done but thine." If God wants to
give you some nasty hits you should just take them. Turn the other cheek, move on,
and let's go. If you're in this church and you think I don't want to take any
hits, I don't want any suffering, I don't want any pain, I don't want any persecution,
you're in the wrong church. You're not only in the wrong church, you're in the
wrong religion. Christianity, you're gonna take some hits. Imagine signing up to
play in the NHL and say I don't want to do this if I'm gonna ever get checked
against the boards. I don't want anybody to ever hit me. They're gonna say sorry
wrong sport. You're looking for, you're looking for a completely different sport.
What's the stupid tennis alternative y'all play? Pickleball. That's what, yeah
that's your sport. Sorry, you don't want to get checked against the boards?
Pickleball. You don't want to run? Pickleball. You don't want to have to
move too much? Pickleball. You want every age to be able to play? Pickleball. Look
and look, if you play pickleball, I'm not trying to attack you, you're just soft.
Now look, obviously at the end of the day, you know, why does pickleball
thrive? Because everybody can play. It's like, why does the non-denominational
church thrive? Because everybody can play. But let me tell you something. This is a
different kind of sport here. This is like the NHL. You're gonna get some
checks here. And you know what? It's for strong men. Why do you think strong men
hate the non-denominational church? It's boring. It's weak. It's soft. You think
the super athletic strong men are like, "Let's go play some pickleball." They make
fun of it. They're like, "It's a little soft." And look, I'm not saying if you've
ever played pickleball you're a bad person or you can't be a strong guy. I'm
just saying if that's your highest level of activity, you need to go a little
harder. It's like the message of the Bibles, okay? It's not really gonna do
anything for you. Now look, if you're being paid, you know, my company, they
paid me to play pickleball with other employees. I was like, "Okay, I guess." But I
wasn't like, "Hey, this is real hard." I wasn't like, "I'm going hard now. Man, I'm a
real man cuz I played some pickleball." You know, that's not, that's not hard. Look
at 1st Timothy chapter number two. 1st Timothy chapter number two. So number one,
don't be feeble, be strong. Number two, don't be a fool, be smart. Number three,
don't faint, be steadfast. Number four, don't fear, be sure. Here's number five,
don't be a feminist, be salty. Doesn't the Bible tell us to be salt? And you
know, I like Paul. First into chapter two, look at verse 12. "But I suffered not a
woman to teach." That's salty. Hey, you know what not suffering means? He doesn't
allow it. I don't allow women to teach. Well, what if they try? I don't allow
women to teach. What if they want to? I don't allow women to teach. The
Apostle Paul allows some things. In fact, he said, I endure all things for the
elect's sake. He talks about how he's made himself a servant unto all. Under
the Jew, I became a Jew. Hey, under the Gentile, he's gonna be a Gentile. He's
reaching the barbarians, but I won't let a woman teach. He's like, I'll go all
kinds of things. I'll be shit rep in the deep. I'll do all kinds of things for
you, but I won't be a feminist. The Apostle Paul even had a line. He said,
this line for feminism? No. It's off limits. I never will. I'm salty. I will
not allow a woman to teach. And not only that, what did he say? Nor do you serve
authority over the man, but to be in silence. Now, of course, we have to
understand the context of this passage is teaching the Bible, teaching the word of
God. That's clearly what it's saying. Obviously, the Bible wants women to
teach in other contexts. The Bible is explicitly clear. Women should be
teaching their children. You know, there's other capacities and contexts
upon women teaching. The Bible has women preaching the gospel to the lost. But
when we show up in church, the Bible says they're silent. No women are allowed
to teach, period. Nor do you serve authority over men. You know, it just
doesn't make sense. It's uncomely. It's wrong. And we need some salt. But you
know what? The Bible says that the salt have lost a savor. It's good for
nothing. And men that are feminists are good for nothing. Men allowed women to
vote. They're feminists and not salty. Men who make their wives get jobs and
won't provide. The Bible says they're worse than an infidel. The Bible says a
man will not provide for his own and for his own house. He is worse than an
infidel. A strong man provides for his household. A strong man pays the bills.
You know there's that old adage of he who has the gold makes the rules. You
want to rule your house have all the gold. You're gonna go put your wife in
pants and go make her be the boss. Well she's gonna probably boss you around too
when she gets home. Men who allow their wives to tell them what to do are soft
and they are feminist and they are not salty. They're good for nothing. You know
here's the thing I can't technically force my wife to do anything because
there's free will. But let me tell you something she definitely can never force
me to do anything. While I can't technically force my wife to do
something she'll never force me to do something I don't want to. And as a man
I will do what's necessary to keep my wife in line. Obviously there's free will
on the table but you know what I'm gonna do everything necessary to keep her in
line and to do what she needs to do. Because that's what I'm supposed to do
as a man I'm supposed to rule over her. That's what the Bible says in Genesis
chapter number three I'm supposed to rule over. You know what a ruler does? He
makes rules. How dare you have rules for your wife? Well you know what you're not
salty you're a feminist. I make rules for my wife. Well that sounds like you're
treating her like a child. I don't care what you think. Yeah I have rules for my
wife that she has to obey and she doesn't necessarily agree she just does
what I tell her. There are things that my wife doesn't want to do that would do
differently if I didn't have a rule and I have a rule and she does what I want.
You know how many rules my wife has for me? Zero. And if she tried to make one
she better try and make me do it and it'll never happen. Ever. Oh you're just
you're just mean. No I'm salty. You're a feminist. I will do what's necessary to
keep my wife in line and you know what some men don't get this point because
they have a very naturally submissive wife. There are some women in this world
who are just very naturally submissive. They're they're ready-made in that sense.
You don't have you don't even have to do anything they're just pretty much just
gonna be yes sir doing it. This is especially when you import from a foreign
country. Why do you think these passport bros are shopping around? Just telling
you. But but let me explain something to you. If your wife is naturally submissive
like that, you're in danger of becoming soft. You're in danger of becoming soft
because you could become very weak and prideful and you don't realize what's
actually going on in your relationship. Think about it this way. If you have a
home gym and you have free weights, it's a lot easier to do a five pound dumbbell
than a 50 pound dumbbell. It's a lot it's a lot easier. In fact, you could argue
it's it's almost no work at all. But here's the thing, you're not gonna get
strong by lifting five pound dumbbells. And in the same way, if your wife is
just so obedient, it just so submissive, you never end up building those muscles
of actually understanding how to lead and how to rule and how to deal with
difficult situations. And so sometimes you can become very soft. But what
happens is men don't realize they're soft. They think they're better than
everybody else and they become prideful. And it's even more dangerous. And they
think that their wife is awesome because they're awesome. Let me explain
something to you. If your wife is awesome, it's because she's awesome. Like
it's crazy to me. They'll be guys. They marry a woman. You know, this woman's
20 years old. They marry her two weeks from now and she's really submissive and
nice and sweet. And it's they think it's because they're awesome. I'm like, "Bro,
what do you think that first 20 years was doing when you weren't in the
picture? You just happened to get a nice woman. In fact, you might even ruin it by
being so soft." You know, maybe it was the other people in her life that was
influencing her. But at the end of the day, you know why she's awesome? Because
she has free will and she's choosing to be submissive. And look, is there anything
wrong with a woman being submissive? No. I'm not saying, hey, I'm not telling you
ladies, kick it up a notch because your husband's a little soft. I'm trying to
say, look, if you got a really submissive wife, don't look down on other guys and
think, oh man, he must be doing something wrong. That would be like you sitting
over here bragging about lifting five pound dumbbells. Oh wow, that's amazing.
You're so awesome. What a strong guy you are. But there's a lot of guys and then
this is what they think. They think, oh, I'm such an amazing leader. That's why
she's following me. Okay, what about the amazing leaders in the Bible? How about
Moses? I mean, isn't this guy an amazing leader? Oh yeah, Zipporah. Shouldn't she
just do everything that he says? But you know what she's doing? She's throwing
bloody foreskins at him. How about David? I mean David is epic. David is super
awesome. Every woman wants to be with David. And then my cow is just running
her mouth against him and attacking him for wanting to serve God. Do you think
that's a coincidence that the two greatest leaders in the Bible, wives, won't
submit to them? Because of this stupid idea of quote servant leadership that
just says look if you're just an awesome leader everybody's just gonna serve you
magically awesome. Okay then isn't Jesus our leader? I mean riddle me this, if
servant leadership is biblical then why are we not all perfect? Because Jesus is
our leader. Didn't he serve? Wasn't he a servant? Do you have a perfect example? So
then how come we're not perfect? How come everybody's not a die-hard Christian
Christian and follower of Jesus? I guess your stupid little servant leadership
doesn't really make sense. Now let me tell you something. Being a great leader
maximizes the results. If you're a great leader you will maximize the results of
those under you but there is no guarantee. And you know what it really
takes? It takes someone that has the free will to make the choice to say you know
what I want to serve Jesus. You know why people are in this church? Because they
had free will and they chose to serve Jesus Christ. You know why people got
baptized? Because they chose with their free will to get baptized. There's not
this magical button. It's not like you're so much better of a soul winner
because your convert got baptized. It's because they have their own free will
want to serve Jesus Christ at the end of the day. And in the same way those under
your authority have to exercise their own free will and take their own
responsibility for their actions and say I'm gonna make the right decision. I'm
gonna make the right choice. Now as a good example and a good leader you will
encourage those under you to make good decisions. And you can influence them but
you can't guarantee it can you? But let me tell you something you know I'm sick
and tired of men allowing their wives to tell them what to do. Men need to just
tell their wives to get in line and they need to get in line. That's how the world
works and if she won't get in line well that's her fault. I mean Mike I won't
get in line okay be barren. Zipporah you don't want to get in line okay I'm gonna
marry an Ethiopian woman now. Vashti won't get in line okay I'm gonna replace
you with Esther. I mean God has no problem just replacing women. God has no
problem just killing women. You want to just be this stubborn and rebellious
woman. God could just kill you and give him another wife. Is that what you want?
Do you want your husband, you don't want to be the submissive wife that your
husband deserves. Well maybe God will just give him a new one. You know that
that's what God's attitude was with Moses when the children of Israel were
stubborn rebellious. God's like hey you want me to just kill them all and start
over. Maybe you're still alive because your husband's asking God to keep you
around. Have you ever thought about that? You know and I've seen this sad video
the the president, I think it's president, of France. Macron. Is it president? I
don't know if that's the right term. Prime Minister, who knows? Something
faggity if it's in France. Macron got like you know b-slapped by his wife. I
call it wife for a reason but he just got completely just slapped down by his
wife, whatever it is, and it's just like that's so embarrassing. That is super
wrong. Now there's another guy that got slapped publicly by his wife. It was
Dana White of the USC. This is a few years ago or something and you know what
Dana White did? He knocked her down. I'm telling you what. She like slaps him and
then he's just like she went down. Now then the media, somebody got a video of
this and uploaded it and it just got all this attention and everybody's freaking
out and losing their mind. You know I watched it and I just said like, "Heh, move
on." You know the world loses their mind over this kind of stuff, okay? And of
course Dana White made this huge apology and I'm so sorry and there's no excuse
and I should never you know do this kind of stuff and whatever and I'm just like
you know everybody gets all mad about what he did but I'm thinking like why
is no one mad that a woman totally disrespects her husband and slaps him in
public? You know people say like, "Oh how dare you act like it's not that big a
deal." Well how dare you act like it's not a big deal for a woman to slap her
husband in public and to think that there should be no consequence to that.
You know how is that okay? How is it okay? Sorry if my mic's down. This is
important stuff. I need to yell about this louder. Look, how is it okay for a
woman to slap her husband in public with no consequence? Riddle me that. That is
evil. That is, and you say like, "Oh how dare he do that?" Well you know what? If
if you're gonna slap your husband in public, you know, I'm gonna look the other
way. He's like, "Oh you're condoning violence." You're condoning violence by
allowing women to slap their husband with no consequence. So which one is it?
What do you like? Now look, I don't think men should beat up their wives or their
children. That's, that's ridiculous. I've never heard anybody advocate for that.
That is just super bad. But you know what? To say there shouldn't be consequences
for women to just disrespect their husbands is ridiculous and that's a bad
society. There's a lot of men today that allow their wives to speak for them just
like Ahab allowed Jezebel to speak for him and to write letters in his name. But
let me tell you something. My wife's not gonna go online and speak for me. My
wife, I'm not gonna go on my wife's channel and my wife's podcast to defend
myself from attackers. My wife's Facebook account is not gonna go online
and defend me publicly and then say from me. This is soft. We're talking about
soft men. You know being salty is at least defending yourself. Go to Deuteronomy
25. Say where's the Bible in this? I'll show you Deuteronomy 25 alright. You know
what? We need some men that are tough today and can fight their own battles
and it's soft when you need your wife to fight battles for you. You know why? Let
me explain something to you also. If your wife is getting involved in a fight, you
know why? You're losing. If you're, if you're winning in a fight, your wife's
just gonna sit there and cheer. Your wife's sitting here like, "Sock 'em! Get 'em! No,
no mercy! Rip his head off!" She's like, "Mortal Kombat, finish him!" You know, that's
what she's saying. If you're winning and just totally crushing the opponent, she's
just backing off and just like, "That's my husband," you know? After he's done with
him, she's, he's gonna get me in line too, you know? That's what she's thinking. You
know why she gets involved in the fight? Because she notices her husband losing.
And of course, that's brought up in the Bible. What happens when men are
fighting and the husband's losing? Deuteronomy 25, look at verse 11. "When men
strive together, one with another, and the wife of the one draw near," for notice
this, "to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteeth him." What is
the context? Two men are fighting, one is losing. When the guy is losing because
he's a loser, what happens? The wife draws near, she needs to try and rescue
her husband and she put it forth her hand and take them by the secrets. "Then
thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her." How in the world can
I get up as a Baptist preacher and say how dare Dana White slap his wife when
the Bible says cut her hand off? I mean, did you read the Bible with me?
I'm reading the King James Bible, the Word of God. It says if a woman gets
involved in a spat and she does a cheap shot to the guy, cut her hand off and
then you're offended by a guy slapping down his wife, you don't believe the
Bible. You're a feminist. I'm salty. I think, look, if a woman's gonna go out
there and grab men by the secrets, they should get their hands cut off. And
that's not Afghanistan, Buzarnsky. That's King James Bible. We don't need
Afghanistan to get our wives in line. Well, you know what? The Bible is saying
this. I mean, what church did you walk into? Do you think? I believe the Bible
here. The good, the bad, the ugly, the wise getting their hands cut off. You know, I
preached this years back and a bunch of Baptists lost their mind, started pulling
their hair out and letting their wives defend them after this verse. And I'm
just thinking like, why would you let, why would you do that? Look, my wife's not
gonna defend me. And even if I'm losing, can I just lose an honor? I don't need my
wife to start taking cheap shots for me. And of course, why do women take cheap
shots? Because that's the only way they can contend. She can't actually beat a
man, but she could do a cheap shot to basically gain advantage in this
situation. And you know what? The Bible is saying that's so wicked, it's so evil.
This principle should be women should not contend with men. They should allow
their husbands to defend themselves. And you know what? You're a soft man when
your wife has to defend you. You know, women today, they're complaining about
mansplaining. And you know, it's soft when men are afraid to mansplain.
Now, you know, what is mansplaining? Mansplaining is when a man explains to a
woman what she already knows. And then they complain about this idea, like, "Well,
I already knew that." You know what made me think of? It made me think of how when
we go out soul-winning, and we're asking someone how to be saved, and they're
like, "Be a good person. You can lose your salvation. You can't live however you want."
And then you explain them the gospel, and they're like, "Oh, I already believed what
you told me." No, you didn't. That's why I just explained it to you. And it's like all
this mansplaining, it's like they're using all the wrong terminology and don't
know what the heck they're saying. And you explain to them, they're like, "Oh, I
already understood that. I already knew that." That's women excusing, you know what I mean? It's
woke-using. This is my new term. It's woke-using when you claim that you
already understood this stuff even though you really didn't. Just like there's all
these unsaved people that were explaining them how to be saved and
then they're like, "Oh, I already got that." No, you didn't. Why? Because there's so many
things that men need to set women straight on. And let me tell you something. Why in
the world are we letting women vote? We need to mansplain to them why they're
not allowed to vote. We need to mansplain to them why they're not in charge. We need
to mansplain to them the things because they're somehow just not getting it. Why they need
to just obey us. You know, men need to be salty today. They need to tell their wives
what to do. You need to correct your wife. If you never correct your wife, you might
be a feminist. If you don't have consequences for your wife disobeying you, you might be
a feminist. If you don't have answers for your wife, you might be a feminist. If you
don't provide for your family, you're a feminist. If you don't lead the family, you're a feminist.
If you don't go to Faithward Baptist Church and you live here, you're probably a feminist.
I'm not even joking. You know how many men aren't in this church right now because their
wife told them not to? There might be more people not here than here because of that
one reason alone. There are so many men today that can't go to church. And again, they're
so shocked and horrified that a man might tell his wife what to do, or they're so against
"violence" while they're slapping their husband around, while they're telling their
husband what to do, while they're the ones wearing the pants. Hey, you know what? You
need to take her soul winning, too. Hey, you need to have some controversial takes. And
you need to stand up for what's right. And I've just seen so many men take soft stances
because they won't correct their wife. The wife says something wrong or lies, especially
about a pastor, and instead of just saying, "You know what? My wife lied and is wrong,"
they just side with their wife, and that's soft. It's soft to say that you can't just
say what's right. You know what? So they lie, they rail, they quit church, because they
have to side with their wife, because they're afraid of the consequences of their wife.
My wife isn't going to give me consequences. Let me tell you something. I don't sleep
in the dog house. I don't even have a dog house because I don't have a dog. I sleep
in my bed every night that I'm home. I wear the only pants in our household. I tell my
wife what to do. You know what? I'm sick of all these soft men today that won't leave
their family. What happens if she, you know, blah, blah, blah? I don't know. We don't
need to find out. Man, your wife must be so pressed. Go ask my wife. She seems real happy.
It's like, well, what happens, you know, if you need to, you know, push comes to shove?
Well, the worst thing I've ever done to my wife is tickle her, okay? But it works. You
know, hey, you get physically violent. But at the end of the day, you know, you can still
lead your household. You can still rule your household. And yeah, if you had a really,
really stubborn, rebellious wife, and you took away her keys or credit card or something
or tickled her, I'm not going to get mad at you. You think I'm going to get mad at men?
I mean, there's so many men today that are just so soft today. Can you even stand up
to your wife? It's sad. You need a man up. You need to be not feeble strong. You need
to not be a fool. You need to be smart. You need to not faint. You need to be steadfast.
You need to not fear. You need to be sure. You need to not be a feminist. You need to
be salty. And I have one last one for you. You go to 1 Corinthians 6. Feminism is destroying
America. It's destroying men. Men today are way too soft. We need men to be strong. And
let me tell you something. Women like strong men. Have you ever seen one of these romance
novels? The guy on the cover does not look like Richard Simmons. The guy on the cover
doesn't look like Emmanuel Macron. The guy on the cover doesn't look like Barack Obama.
He looks like Hulk Hogan or something, you know? He looks ripped and shredded and he
looks like he tells that woman what to do. And you know what the whole novel's about?
The man telling her what to do. For some reason, women just like that. And you know, maybe
she's just a little bit rebellious because she's wanting you to just get her back in
line. Have you ever thought about that? I mean, it's insane to me today how people are
just so afraid of the natural order of things. Women like to be dominated by a strong man
and they hate soft men. Japanese men are struggling to get women because they're not strong. And
I'm not saying all of them, but I'm just saying that's a big problem in their country today.
There's men that are struggling. You look at the Philippines. Just by and large, if
you just compare just the average random dude here and the average random dude there, they're
a little bit softer. And so I think that the women there, they're just more attracted to
American men in that context. But you know what? If America became too soft, well, then
the next strong guy will come along and sweep her off her feet. Because women just want
to be swept off their feet by some strong guy. And women like to have a guy that's strong
financially, he's strong mentally, he's strong physically, he's strong in every way. And
he's not like a faggot. He's not faggity. That's my last point. Don't be faggity, be
straight. What does the Bible say in 1 Corinthians chapter number 6 verse 9? It warns about a
particular sin. It's only mentioned one time, but that's all the mentions I need. Verse
9. "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived,
neither fornicators, nor adulterers, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves
of mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor reviles, nor extortioners shall
inherit the kingdom of God." Hey, the Bible is saying being effeminate is a sin. And
look, every sin sends you to hell. And look, being effeminate is acting like a woman. You're
not quitting yourself like men. You're being like a woman. What's a woman? She's soft.
Look, there's nothing wrong with being soft if you're a woman. But if you're a man, you
need to be strong. And you need to be strong so your wife can be soft. And you need to
be straight and not act like a faggot. Don't talk with a soft, lispy voice. It is weird.
And it happens when men come into this church and they sound like that. "Hey, Pastor Sally,
how's it going?" You're in the wrong church. That's what I'm thinking. Maybe I should just
start saying it. Don't dress in queer, tight, bright shorts, or in queer-looking clothing,
or having long hair, or looking effeminate. Men should just not look effeminate, not sound
effeminate. And look, if you struggle with that, change. Just grunt or something. Just
be like Tim the Toolman. "Hey, Pastor Sally, I would way rather talk to you. Hey, Pastor
Sally, how's it going? I really like your sermon about being strong. I really like
that point about not being faggity." Shut up! Quit being effeminate. Dude, in June,
you don't want to go around talking to people like that. People will be afraid of you. They'll
be like, "What's wrong with you? Sound like a man. Speak like a man. Dress like a man.
Like a faggot. Don't look like you're about to go to the parade this month and go dress
with a bunch of queers. You know, go to, go to Roman's One. Probably should go there
every week this month. You know, being effeminate is not cool. It's not trendy. Nobody likes
it. Girls don't want you to marry them. They want to go shopping. And look, I hate shopping.
What men in here hate shopping? Amen, yes. I hate shopping because I'm not a faggot,
okay? I'm not going to go hold your purse and go tell you you look beautiful in every
outfit or whatever. You know what? I don't care. I'm not into clothes. I'm not into
vanity. I'm not into makeup. I'm not into all this frilly stuff. I'm a man. And at
the end of the day, you know, faggots are super into their appearance, aren't they?
They take hours to groom themselves like a woman. They want to be soft. And they want
their skin to look all so clean and nice and shiny. And they want to wear the bright colors
and talk all soft. Don't talk soft to me. Talk loud to me. Talk like you want everyone
else to hear our conversation. Add something cool to say, right? You know, I preached this
one time. I said, look, if you're struggling with being soft, you know, maybe get a louder
car. Someone got offended by this. Some man got offended by this. I'm thinking like, what
is wrong with you? Look, there's a reason why girls like guys on motorcycles and on
bikes and on loud, nice, expensive cars. It seems like a strong guy that can provide.
Riding in his chariot. Riding on the big horse. The knight in shining armor. Okay, not a rainbow
colored outfit prancing along like a little fairy. The fairy is galloping in the forest.
No it's the white knight with a sword on a stallion, right? On a strong, fast stallion
that they're going to get on and they're going to gallop off to their castle. Whereas this
big castle they're going to live in. Oh, but you want to be soft and hang out with the
faggot in the forest. Well, you know what? Go shopping or something, right? That's at
the mall. But you know what? The Bible says that being effeminate is a sin and it's like
being like a faggot because they want to be soft. And look, why would I want to act like
something that God says is a punishment? You realize being gay is a punishment? This is
why I always explain to people the door. After you get them saved, all right, and you want
to hand them a sodomite deception ticket or invite to that, I just say, look, people hate
the gospel and God punishes them by making them gay. Watch this movie. And you know what
they do? They laugh and they're like, I want to watch this movie. It works every time.
In fact, they're like, I was kind of busy, but I want to see that right now. I had a
lady, she couldn't, she couldn't close the door fast enough. He's like, I got to go.
I'm cooking. I got to, I got to go. I got, I got to go. And I'm like, Hey, okay, let's
just pray. We got saved. And I'm like, Hey, just by the way, some people hate the gospel.
God punishes them by making them gay. And she was like, what? I'm going to go put the
food on hold. I want you to show me that in the Bible right now. Like Romans one, hon.
Let's read it. So just start reading Romans one. Food can wait. Look what it says in verse
18. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven. Something on this earth reveals God's
wrath. I mean, can we not all agree the text is saying something on the earth is revealed
from heaven. What is revealed from heaven? The wrath of God. What is that? Anger. God
has revealed to all of us how God is angry with certain people. That's the whole context.
That's the whole set up of this whole passage. God is revealing something to us. What is
he revealed? Verse 26, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections. For even
their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise
also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another.
Men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense
of their error which was meat, meaning it's suitable. And even as they did not like to
retain God of their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things
which are not convenient. So notice if you give up on God, he will give you a reprobate
mind. That's what he gives people. He doesn't necessarily force them to be a faggot, but
what he does is he gives them a reprobate mind and allows them to become a faggot as
a punishment. That's out of their own heart. And that's the wrath of God being revealed
from heaven is that some people have been given a reprobate mind. Because as a man,
the absolute worst punishment you could ever get is being a faggot. It is the worst thing
imaginable. John Chrysostom said, "I would rather go to hell 10,000 times than be a faggot
for one second." I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically what he said. I mean, look, if you
said, "Again, I'm saved. I can't not go to heaven." But if I was unsaved and God said,
"All right, you can live a little bit longer, be a faggot, go straight to hell, straight
to hell." I mean, it's not even a question. Not only are these people faggots, they want
to be faggots. That's even worse. It's not against their will. They want it. They desire
it. They long for it. It's insatiable. This disgusting, filthy punishment from God. The
Bible is saying this is the worst punishment from God. And then there are straight men
acting like them, dressing like them, being soft like them. We should be the exact opposite
of that and not go around acting like we're being punished by God by being a faggot. And
let me tell you something. The men in this church don't look like faggots or act like
faggots. When one comes in, it stands out like a sore thumb and we throw it out. You
go to these non-denominational churches and they just blend in. You go to some old IAB
churches and they blend in. You go to North Valley Baptist Church with Jack Treber and
not only they blend in, they'll put you in the music ministry as the music pastor, as
a faggot. They have all of them in their Bible college. Bunch of faggots. It's disgusting.
It's disgusting that churches, the men can be so soft that a faggot can show up and we
can't even tell the difference. It should be a black and white difference between the
faggot and a saved, born again, child of God man. Quit you like men and don't be soft.
Don't sound like a queer. Don't dress like a queer. Don't act like a queer. Act like
a man. And I'm sick of it. What does the Bible say in verse 32? These people are worthy
of death. Why in the world would you act like somebody worthy of death? It's disgusting.
It's weird. I can't even wrap my mind around why a guy would act like this. We have so
many soft men today, and you know what? Our church needs to stand out where people are
looking from the outside in and saying, "Man, the men over there are strong." You know,
they're not feeble. They're strong. They're not fools. They're smart. They don't faint.
They're steadfast. They don't fear. They're sure. They're not feminists. They're salty.
They're not faggity. They're straight. And boy, if I could just do one thing, I would
just say I want men to just not be easily offended. Can I just press that? Can you
just not be offended. Stop being offended. Stop giving up. Be tough. Endure some hardships.
Tell people what to do. Someone needs to be told what to do, and you're the person to
do it. Be the man. You know, it used to be who's the man in charge here. Isn't it, isn't
it like the feminist thing, like serving the man? It's like, oh, we're working for the
man. It's the man in charge. Someone needs to be in charge. Be that guy. Be that man.
Be that ruler. And you know what, I believe in being a benevolent dictator all day long.
But be a dictator. But obviously we rule for the benefit of others. Be like Jesus. He rules
for the benefit of others. He cares about others. You know, he's strong. Jesus Christ
is not feeble. He's smart. He's not a fool. He's steadfast. He didn't faint at the cross.
He's sure he didn't fear. He's salty. He's not a feminist. He's straight. He's not a
faggot. You know what, and you need to rule with authority. We need to man up. We need
to toughen up. We need to endure hardness. We need to quit you like men. You need to
be strong. You need to be very courageous. When we started this sermon, we talked about
soft. Soft is yielding readily to pressure. You need to be steadfast and unmovable. You
know, the apostle Paul said this, "But none of these things move me. Neither count I my
life dear unto myself." I will not move from this stance. I don't care how many men become
feminists. I'm not going to become feminist. I don't care how many of you dress like a
queer. I'm never dressing like a queer. I don't care how many of you allow your wives
to slap you around and tell you what to do. My wife's never doing it. I don't care how
many of you quit. I'm not quitting. I don't care how many of you all get offended. I'm
not going to be offended. I'm not going to get easily provoked. I'm going to stay new
IFB. I'm going to stay preaching the King James Bible. I'm going to stay preaching the
hard truths of the Bible. I'm going to keep reading about women getting their hands cut
off whether you like it or not. And you know what? We need some other men to stand up and
be men and so we can right the wrongs of our country. Our country is failing because of
soft men. And you know what's embarrassing? It's embarrassing how many pastors were in
the new IFB and they've just proven that they're soft. That's embarrassing. It's embarrassing
to think like you're so soft. You're so easily offended. You don't seem to want to rule.
You don't seem to have more respect to the Bible. You know, it's just sad to see how
many men are failing. And I always wonder like who are these men that voted women into
power? And I'm just like, it's these guys. Who are the men that allowed the government
to have rules where you can put your husband in prison for marital rape? Who are the men
that enforce divorce proceedings against other men? Who are the men that are allowing our
United States military to walk around in high heels as an exercise and sensitivity training?
You know, our military has the men walking around in high heels to prove what it's like
to be a woman. You know why I don't need to know what it's like to be a woman? I'm never
going to be a woman. I mean, you know what? Let's apply this to every other area. Should
I put on black paint so I can know what it's like to be a black person now? Isn't that
like wrong or something? Because you know what? I'm not black and I never will be black.
Do I need to put on some stilts to see what it's like to be 6'10"? I'm never going to
be 6'10". I mean, do I have to gouge my eyes out to know what it's like to be blind? God
willing I'll never be blind. I don't have to try everything out. I don't have to try
everything out. I'm not going to be everything. Why can't I just be comfortable being myself?
And you know what? I'm a man and I'm going to keep being a man. God didn't create me
to be a woman or a feminine or a queer or a faggot. He didn't create me to be a Calvinist
because I don't believe in it. He didn't elect me to be a Calvinist. Riddle me that. He didn't
choose me to live in a different time, in a different country, to be a different height.
I am who I am and you know what? I'm proud to be who I am because I'm fearfully and wonderfully
made and I'm in the image of God and I'm a man and God's a man and he wants men to act
like men. You want to honor God? Be a man. It's dishonoring to be effeminate and queer
and soft and stop being soft. I'm going to make fun of you. Closing prayer. Thank you
heavenly father so much for giving us this this Bible and this instruction. Thank you for being
such a strong man. Thank you for example. Thank you that when you sent your son the Lord Jesus
Christ down here he didn't show us some kind of a soft example but a strong example. One that wasn't
feeble but one that was strong. One that didn't faint but was steadfast. One that didn't fear but
was sure. One that wasn't a feminist but one that was confident in who he was. He was salty. He was
straight. He was smart. He was ready to do the task at hand. I pray that you would raise some men today
that would be willing to be a man. To step up to the challenge. To do something tough. To do
something hard. To do what's right. To tell people what to do. To actually rule. You gave us the
ability to dominate the earth and to rule over this earth and I pray that you would get some
good Christian men to start ruling. To rule their houses and rule their state and rule their country
and rule Christianity. And I pray that you would just help men to be more manly. In Jesus name we
Amen.
