first Corinthians chapter 6 so starting in verse 1 dare any of you having a
matter against another go to law before the unjust and not before the Saints so
he's just left off here you know with Church discipline they're talking about
kicking people out the church now he's going on to the next problem that's
going on the Corinthian Church here so it seems that people from the church
basically taking their problems and disputes and I think particularly
financial disputes to the Greek authorities instead of to the church
now notice a strong language here dare any of you dare any of you so this is
pretty strong this isn't just you shouldn't do this dare any of you how
dare you how dare you do this now he's saying go to law before the unjust the
unjust are unbelievers and not before the Saints so we we know what we know
what a saint is and again just you know like he says in the next couple of
verses well saints and this nonsense is Catholic Church doctrine and you see
around a lot of people and they even not terms of phrases society where oh what
you want me to be a saint like it's some perfect person I know it's just a
believer saints a believer I like to say the unjust are unbelievers obviously
Romans 3 28 says therefore we conclude that man is justified by faith without
the deeds of law so we're justified by faith Jesus Christ now verse 2 says do
you not know that the Saints shall judge the world and if the world shall be
judged by you are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters no you not that we
shall judge angels how much more things that pertain to this life okay so what
does he mean that we as Saints will judge the world and angels right turn of
Revelation chapter 20
so we've had the tribulation the great tribulation we're raptured God pauses
wrath out on the world ending with the Battle of Armageddon okay the devil is
bound for a thousand years okay then verse 4 of chapter 20 and I saw thrones
and they sat upon them and judgment was given unto them and I saw the souls of
them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God which
are not worship the beast neither his image neither had received his mark upon
their foreheads or in their hands and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years but the rest of the dead live not again until a thousand years
were finished this is the first resurrection blessed and holy is he that
has part in the first resurrection on such the second death have no power but
they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a
thousand years okay so when he says we're gonna reign we're gonna reign with
him here think about that we're reigning with Christ we're ruling so that will
include angels as well and and not only not only here when he's talking about
we're gonna judge angels yeah we're basically talking about being in a in a
in a leadership role we're going to be ruling and reigning with Christ and we
know he's above the angels we're rolling with him the angels are going to be
beneath us which is a pretty sobering view or I don't know if it's sobering or
what the word is for that but think about that if we're going to be ruling
and reigning with Christ we're gonna have to make judgments aren't we gonna
have to make decisions we're gonna have to be discerning things you know as it's
at the end of the millennial reign there are going to be still some rebellious
people that are going to be deceived for that when Satan's loose for Caesar
there are going to be some people that are going to be deceived for that when
it's not just going to be this perfect there's going to be no problems at all
there are still going to be people that need some judgment made and everything
else so we're going to be in that position so with that in mind if we're
going to have to make judgments and decisions in the millennial reign it's
probably a good idea to start getting used to that now and again as usual next
chapter in Corinthians Corinthians is the anti-judge book or the anti-judge
notebook isn't it because it's just time and time again telling you to judge
judge judge judge situations judge people right look at verse four if you
then have judgments of things pertaining to this life set them to judge who are
least esteemed in the church right so there's two ways of looking at this so
so he's either saying look the people that are least esteemed in the church
get them to judge or he's talking about the people that need judging of the
least in the church so if we have to judge things belonging to this life get
that good judgment going on to problematic people in church the least
esteemed either way or he's just saying look you could even get the least
esteemed it'd be better than going to the world either way verse five says i
speak to your shame is it so that there is not a wise man among you no not one
that shall be able to judge between his brethren but brother goeth to law with
brother and that before the unbelievers now therefore there is utterly a fault
among you because you go to law one with another
why do you not rather take wrong why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be
defrauded nay you do wrong and defraud and that
your brethren okay so defrauded here is basically
deprived of property or right by trick artifice or deception
injured by the withholding of what is due so it looks like these are financial
disputes these are financial disputes so for
example how that would work now is if i went into bit or once someone in
church went into business with someone else in the church or maybe they've
lent them something maybe they've lent them money or property or something else
um sells them something and and you can imagine as the church grows more and
more of that will probably happen um
but now what they're doing is when things have gone wrong
they're then going off to the authorities so we're going off the
authorities about that now we're not talking here about like
so here he's saying you shouldn't be doing that you shouldn't be going off to
the greek authorities in the same way we could relay that with
with if i don't know so i let some money someone at the church and then they
didn't they didn't pay me it back and i i go off
to to the small claims court or something
else that would be wrong but it's not talking about heinous crime here
he's not talking about heinous crime because if there was some wicked thing
done we're not just going to sit and go all right let's get
let's get a you know judge and jury going in the church
and we'll decide well they're going to get kicked out the church they've just
done something absolutely horrendous those times yeah we would because we
don't have the power to be giving out what we should do is
probably the death penalty for certain things and
god's law unfortunately we can't do that that will happen in the millennial reign
okay so he's saying he speaks this to your shame so it's
shameful what they're doing and when he says is there not a wise man
among you okay is there not a wise man among you
and it it does it does need someone wise if you look at verse five here he says
i speak this to your shame is it so there's not a wise man among you no not
one that should be able to judge between his brethren
so wisdom is different to knowledge just just a reminder here there are
people that are blessed with a lot of knowledge a lot of knowledge about lots
of things that are knowledge about the bible it doesn't mean that they're wise
and it is different and it's a it's a spiritual gift as well
but there are different levels obviously and there are people that don't have the
spiritual gift but have some wisdom have some not in in there and they
cross over obviously as well but it is different and and you know
judging situations you can you can know where every single book of the
bible is and and where every verse is and everything else
doesn't mean you're going to be able to judge situations doesn't mean you're
wise you're able to apply that knowledge and also it
and be wise with it um wisdom obviously comes from experience as
well so in general you'll find why you know as people get older they'll
become wise it doesn't mean it's just because someone's old that they're wise
there's a lot of very unwise people that are old
and there are some wise people that are young as well aren't they and some
people you just know have that sort of level of wisdom on them
um okay but brother goeth to law with brother
and that before the unbelievers so that's a pretty terrible testimony
isn't it imagine if we had that here like in the courts taking each other to
call and they'd love that and they love that
when it does happen i mean it's bad enough is it's bad enough with the false
religions it's bad enough with the amount of mud
that's kind of sticks to christianity through
the false versions of christianity and and that's what people think don't
they when you talk to them about being a christian or church or anything old
they're just thinking in this country especially they're thinking about some
old place with stained glass windows you know images all over the place
people in dresses waving around things and pedophilia
really aren't they that's what that's what the stuff starts bringing to mind
and organized religion and money and grand buildings and everything else
let alone when you then are giving them even more you're like no no we're by
believing baptists but they're by believing baptists in the news
because they're they're taking each other to court and there's you know big
lawsuits and stuff like i mean i was at sikhirisi people that i
used to listen a bit of like like the hovines for example and just what a bad
testimony that was when his family they started getting
in some legal dispute for the business ken hovand i'm talking about here and
eric hovand just the whole thing's just a little wicked wasn't it wicked and
it's just such a bad testimony to so many people that enjoyed his creation
stuff and i don't want to go into all his other stuff because
some of it sounds pretty dodgy now um right verse seven
now therefore there is utterly a fault among you because you go to law one with
another why do you not rather take wrong why
do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded nay you do wrong and
defraud and that your brethren okay so he's saying
here that they've made the problem even worse
they've made the problem worse um and they would be better off to just accept
the loss and why is that it's because of the
greater good of the church and something i've been trying to get across a bit or
i feel like the bible has been and the holy spirit has been getting me to get
across to people is the importance of this church the
importance of this church as a body of christ as a whole
much more than us it's not about us it's not about how i can appear to the
others in here or it's not about me with the preaching
it's about the edifying it's about people growing
learning it's not i want to get up here and have a good shout you know
i have a good you know i can really sound this or
sound i sound so old you know so new ifb if i
really go on about this god about that that should never cross my mind as a
preacher because anyone on the men's preaching nights either
it's all about the church it's about edifying each other
about teaching things that the holy spirit puts us it's about people in the
church people in the church wanting the church
to succeed it's not about them okay it's not about you it's not about
lifting yourself up it's not about you know how you how you're going to be
yeah sure we're human we're going to think about ourselves of course
we're going to think about the benefits we get from the church but the ultimate
goal should be the church yeah and with that me for the sake of
however much money me then just destroying the testimony of this church
and and you know the unity in it for the sake of getting back some money that i
think i'm owed or whatever it is wicked really it's wicked
so
instead yeah they're so basically they're taking them to court
to basically defraud them back because a lot of times you take people to court
with the lawyer then trying to get back you know you're not just taking them
there going i want what's owed a lot of the time they'll then be expenses and
people then paying for things at the court
it just starts getting out of hand now have a look at matthew chapter 18 and
see what god's way of dealing with this is
so matthew chapter 18
and verse 15
18 15 more over if thy brother shall trespass against thee go and tell him
his fault between you and him alone if he shall hear thee thou has gained
thy brother but if he will not hear thee then take with thee
one or two more that in the mouth of two or three witnesses
every word may be established and if he shall neglect to hear them tell it unto
the church but if he neglect to hear the church
let him be unto thee as an he the man and a publican
okay so god's way here is one firstly if there's a problem and
it's obviously not just financial disputes but if there's a problem
between two brothers or two sisters in a church
or brother and sister okay first you go to them and you tell them
their fault alone so you try and sort it out between
you don't need to involve everyone in every problem every dispute
and again it might sound a bit silly now but we're a building growing church
so this this could happen in the future okay
if he shall hear thee great you've gained a brother
okay so so things are all right you're not going to fall out everything will be
fine but if he will not hear thee then take
the one or two more so then it's in front of witnesses
okay to try and sort out this dispute but in the mouth of two or three
witnesses every word may be established and if he shall neglect to hear them
tell it unto the church so then it gets brought in front of the church
but if he neglect to hear the church let him be unto thee as an he the man the
publican so basically i i believe with that if someone refuses to hear what the
church judges in that situation and and there's
a dispute they're basically they're at the church
they're heathen and republican okay so let's add another one to the list of
kicking out of the church fences okay um okay but but that's what the
bible says and that's not what they're doing that's not what a curriculum
church doing it sounds like they were just going straight
straight to the law okay so
okay so he says here so i think earlier on sorry
let's go back to verse seven here i think he says now therefore there is
utterly a fault among you because you go to law one with noel why do you not
rather take one why do you not rather suffer yourself to be afforded now you do
fraud and that your brethren okay so
he then he then goes into after this so he's explained this to me saying that
that basically what they're doing to their to their brothers
and that you're defrauding their brothers he then
starts talking about the world here so have a look at
verses 9 10 11 i want to focus on these a little bit he says here
know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of god
be not deceived neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate
nor abusers of themselves in mankind nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor
revilers nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of god and such were some of
you but ye are washed but ye are sanctified but ye are justified
in the name of the lord jesus and by the spirit
of our god right paul is reminding them who they are going to get judged by
okay he's reminding them who the world is
who they're basically going to for judgment
okay this is a a sub like you can see the context of it here
and and unfortunately this section gets jumped on by a couple of different people
and we're going to go through that in a minute one is the work salvationists
so the work salvationists love jumping on this
and they love use it to say look it says here
that you shall not inherit the kingdom of god
if you're a fornicator an idolater an adulterer effeminate abuser themselves
of mankind thieves covetous drunkards revilers or revelers
nor extortionists shall inherit the kingdom of god there you go
can't do those sins now that some will say those people couldn't get say some
will say and this is more often more common is
that that if you're saved you can't be doing
those sins or basically you're unsaved or basically you're either going to lose
your salvation or it's showing that you're unsaved if you do any of these
sins now just quickly what's called either
revile or reveler it's not a reveler it's not
someone who's reveling it's basically one who reviles another
one who treats another with contemptuous language
so if you remember the description of last week it's basically a regular and
it's used interchangeably so if you notice here if like in here
is every single one of the sins that we just went over last week in
chapter five if a brother yeah there'd be a fornicator
and he gives a list of sins over in chapter 5 verse 11 if you want
to look at it quickly in chapter 5 11 now i've written unto
you not to keep company of any man that is called a brother be a fornicator or
covetous or an idolator or a regular or a drunken or an
extortioner with such one note not to eat
okay so these are brothers and it's funny isn't it
people love to grab a verse just it's like you've literally just read
that in the chapter four but they don't read bibles
they can't understand the bible so instead they just oh i've got a verse
someone's that you know some some false prophets pulled out this verse there we
go look you can't do it you can't inherit the
kingdom of god there we go um
okay he's just told them to kick out saved people that do these sins
how is that lost on these people but but obviously it is a lot of you say
it's not really that that i want to i want to sit on too much but just quickly
on that um obviously they're handpicking
verses to suit and in verse 11 there in chapter 6 of verse 11
he says and such were some of you he says but
ye are washed but ye are sanctified but ye
are justified present tense in the name of the lord jesus
and by the spirit of our gods it just explained what it is it's not by
you not doing these things it's in the name of the lord jesus
um okay so no because our sinful flesh
won't inherit the kingdom of god this is what we're talking about we're not our
sinful flesh isn't inheriting the kingdom of god is it
so the kingdom of god is going to be inherited by the new body that we're
given aren't we and and no that sinful flesh isn't
praise god we're not going to have that sort of sin in heaven
um and obviously in god's eyes as well he sees
he's when he sees us he's the righteousness of jesus christ
but now this is what i want to focus on more though because i don't think we
need to focus on that i mean that's just ridiculous it's silly it's literally
just come after chapter five but this is used by the sodomite
lovers and compromises this is used by the sodomite lovers and
compromises of the world so they say this is what they'll do
they'll go to this and they'll go well have a look at this
they go they say effeminate and abusers of themselves with mankind so we just
saw that in in verse nine so it says no you know it
goes on neither fornicators nor adulterers nor adulterers nor effeminate
nor abusers of themselves with mankind and then it goes on and it says
such were some of you there you go there we go these are these are sodomites
that are now saved such are some of you so of course they could be saved now
this is where they have a bit of a problem here because
have a little think about this are they saying that you could be saved and then
commit that wicked sin that there are saved people
there are saved sodomites running around in their bars and in
their whatever you know all the filthy little haunts that they go to
that there are saved christians doing that and they say no
so where do they then go so these guys they always start veering to the work
salvation and repent of your sins oh well you
well of course they can't have done that so then it starts to make sense and well
you've got to at least stop certain sins or whatever else now
you know and most of these people when you talk to most of them are unsaved
most of them are of the repent of your sins crowd and it doesn't and you know
what the reprobate doctrine just clears all that up doesn't it
because without it without it it's like you're looking at that and by the way
you know i know the world says that well that's sin you know it's love and
everything else and i don't want to start
joining with the world but for example what about like the worst type
of people that that the world could imagine what about like
that the and i know that's probably changing now but what about like
the the pedophiles and and whatnot what are you saying that someone that has
saved christian with the spirit of god in them
is doing those sins or no they would say well surely they've got to stop that sin
to be saved it's work salvation which one is it because it's not of
works let's say he managed to boast so which one is it well
it's neither is it it's neither as we know and as we're going to see and as i
let's go over this so i've heard this out of the pastor's mouth
by the way i've heard a pastor talk about when mentioning
the reprobate doctrine calling people andersonites
just quoting oh he's a liar such were some of you
you know job done it's up to some of you so
okay well what does the bible clearly say because that includes me let's see
what the bible clearly says okay because people are desperate to fit
in with this world aren't they they're desperate to fit in into this
world or fit in with this world and it's interesting as well that out of
those saved ones it's the ones with no spine isn't it
that compromise it's the ones that don't have have that
backbone to be able to stand there and preach against what the world is telling
us is normal now and preach against what the world only
only recently only recently in recent modern history
has now managed to convince half the world it's absolutely normal it's
absolutely fine it's love it's just love no it's not it's
disgusting let's see what the bible says so first clear example
first clear example is in genesis chapter 19 let's go to genesis chapter 19
now i don't believe that noah and ham is an example of this
for those of you that know that story i don't believe it is
i actually believe it it's it's a it's an indictment on revealing nakedness
and that's serious but i believe that this genesis 19
is the first example okay so god has come to destroy sodom and gomorrah
because the cry is great and because their sin is very
grievous their sin is very grievous as the bible
so his angels go ahead yeah god's angels go ahead and lot brings them
into his house they come into the city he brings them into his house so look at
verse 4 here so genesis 19 verse 4
but before they lay down the men of the city even the men of sodom
compass the house round both old and young all the people from
every quarter and they called unto lot and said unto him where are the men
which came into thee this night bring them out unto us that we may know
them a lot went out at the door unto them and
shut the door after him and said i pray you brethren do not so wickedly
behold i have two daughters which have not known man let me i pray you bring
them out unto you and do ye to them as is good in your eyes
only unto these men do nothing for there therefore came they under the shadow of
my roof and they said stand back and they said
again this one fellow came into sojourn and he would need to be a judge now we
will deal worse with thee than with them and
they pressed sore upon the man even lot and came near to break the door
but the men put forth their hand and pulled a lot into the house of them and
shut to the door and they smote the men that
were at the door the house would blind us by smaller grates that they will
they wearied themselves to find the door okay so
verse four just a couple of points here verse four but before they lay down the
minnesota even a minnesota covers house right now both
old and young and the people from every quarter
so old and young rich and poor okay this sin isn't just a certain group this just
went across a lot and this is what happens in places like like what sodom
became it just starts getting more and more
and spending it becomes rampant and old and young
rich and poor every quarter verse five it says here where the men which came
unto thee this night bring them out unto them that we may
know them okay now know them most people aware here is basically talking about
intimately it's just a euphemism for for basically physical intimacy
okay absolutely disgusting okay now
have a look at verse eight verse eight this is lot saying behold now i have two
daughters which have not known man let me i pray you bring them out unto you
and do you to them this is good in your eyes
only unto these men do nothing for therefore came they under shadow my room
a couple of points here firstly lot yeah how poisoned does he become being in a
place like that how poisoned how warped does his mind
become but even being in a place like that even
being in a place like that and clearly getting to the point of suggesting this
look how wicked he thinks what they want to do to these men is he's even
offering his daughters instead i mean but still what what on earth
what on earth and that goes because he spent some time there isn't he and what
that does to you being around that sort of field but
just lot he was justified by faith in christ still
but wow he wasn't living for christ was he with that sort of thing
um okay verse 11 here and they smoke the men at the door of
the house with blindness by smaller grades
they were so that they wearied themselves to find the door
they're still trying to find the door they're blind
they've been blinded and they still want to try and get in the men of the city
the men of sodden they're implacable aren't they implacable and
you know this is the first example and at first a lot of the time first in the
bible have some significance don't they and
you read that and you just think what on earth look at the contrast between the
behavior of that and what the world tells us
these people these sodomites are like because the bible says something very
different right so god goes on to destroy he
destroys that whole place look at verse 24
then the lord rained upon sodom and upon gomorrah brimstone of fire from the lord
out of heaven and he overthrew those cities and all
the plain and all the inhabitants of the cities
and that which grew upon the ground so he just raised it he just
absolutely destroyed it and everything that grew there
just wiped it out now the world would say to this the the worldly christian
sorry would say oh it's just because they were rapists
and they try and call him the rapists of sodden then it's it's not
it's not exactly what they did it's just because they were rapists
well let's see what the well in fact we're not going to go there but what
does the next clear story of them in judges 19
if you remember that in judges 19 very similar don't worry about turning there
but basically because we went over it uh not long ago in i think sermon
he was surrounded but still victorious but it might be nice fasting the power
fasting okay and in in that we looked at that story
and in that story that the levite basically he has to give
them his concubine his concubine to appease him because
they want to do exactly the same to him exactly the same to him as what they
wanted to do here to the angels that were in lot's house and in that in
that in in judges 19 they're called the sons of belial
which are basically sons of the devil okay that's how the
bible describes these people they're sons of the devil
okay now turn to leviticus 20
are we going over a bit of old ground for some but let's just get this right
leviticus 2013
says if a man also lie with mankind as he lies with a woman both of them have
committed an abomination they shall surely be put to death their blood shall
be upon them okay they've committed an abomination
it's it's an abomination by the way interestingly we talked
about other things about abomination earlier
you don't want to be have anything to do with something that that's called an
abomination but this is an abomination and
it says here by the way lying with again like we talked about it's physical
intimacy lying with and again the bible just
just calls it calls it that and and some wicked false bible versions are just
really graphic and i don't want to see anything graphic i don't hear anything
graphic about that but it says here the man also lie with mankind as he
loved them both of them have committed an abomination they shall surely be put
to death their blood shall be upon them okay so the bible is really clear there
isn't it and and you know like like you know i've talked
about before and many people here will talk about as well it's oh well
that's the old testament what a load of nonsense okay god's the
same isn't he god hasn't changed it's oh well
that's the new testament we'll just let him get on with that no
no yes we don't live under that law we're not in in old testament israel
but a perfect world would would be under that law wouldn't it
okay it's really for me there's no doubt about that
okay so
have a look at first kings 15 so just just just kind of showing you
the background of this first kings chapter 15
and verse 11 first kings 15 11
okay and asa did that which was right in the eyes of the lord as did david his
father and he took away the sodomites out of
the land and removed all the idols that his father
had made so he did right in the eyes of the lord and he took away the
sodomites out of the land that was right in the eyes of the lord
get rid of them okay now we see you don't have to turn
a bit first kings 22 46 jehoshaphat removes the remainder
of them and then turn to second kings chapter 22
second kings chapter 22 and verse one
second kings 22 verse 1 jesiah was eight years old when he began to reign he
reigned 31 years in jerusalem and his mother's name was
jedi the daughter of adaiah of boscath and he did that which was right in the
sight of the lord and walked in all the way of david his father and
turned not aside to the right hand or to the left okay so this is david
who wrote wrote a lot of the psalms yeah okay
and he did that which was right and walked in all the way of david his
father okay let's see what he does then
go to chapter 23 and verse 1 chapter 23 verse 1 and the king sent and
they gathered unto him all the elders of juda and of jerusalem
and the king went up into the house of the lord and all the men of juda and
all the inhabitants of jerusalem with him and the priests and the prophets and
all the people above small and great and he read in their ears all the words
of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the lord
and the king stood by a pillar and made a covenant before the lord to walk after
the lord and to keep his commandments and his
testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul
to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book and all
the people stood to to the covenant and the king commanded
hilkiah the high priest and the priests of the second order and the keepers of
the door to bring forth out of the temple of the lord all the vessels that
were made for bale and for the grove and for all the hosts
of heaven and he burned them without jerusalem in the fields of kidron
and carried the the ashes of them unto bethel
and he put down the idolatrous priests whom the kings of juda had ordained to
burn incense in the high place in the cities of juda and in the place around
about jerusalem them also that burned incense unto bale
to the sun and to the moon and to the planets and to all the hosts of heaven
and he brought out the grove from the house of the lord
without jerusalem unto the brook kidron and burned in at the brook kidron
and stamped it small to powder and cast the powder therefore upon the graves of
the children of the people and he break down the houses of the
sodomites that were by the house of the lord where
the women wove hangings for the grove and he brought
all the priests out of the cities of juda and defiled the high places where
the priests had burned incense for giba to be a sheba and break down
the high place of the gates that were in the entering end of the gate of joshua
the governor of the city which were on a man's left hand at the gate
of the city okay look at the link between
false religion and these perverts look at the link there
and look how it all goes hand in hand all part of the same gang the same group
together and we see that now in this world don't we
we see that everywhere you see that in the catholic church you see it in
in the church of england churches and i don't know if i mentioned this before
but i i grew up when i was young going to this higher
churches church of england church every single vicar there was a sodomite
every one one after another was a sodomite the ones which weren't openly
it turned out later turned out to be sodomites
the church that my my mum my mum was at a wicked wicked place disgusting people
the last one was an ex-catholic monk who then
decided to what did he call it to whatever the
word is to suddenly you know change to a to a c of e there's hardly any
difference by the way at all to then become a priest and actually had
his sodomite disgusting pervert whatever i don't even want to call it
coming and living half the time in what they call the vestry or vicarage or
whatever i think it's a vicarage they call
in the house which is provided by the church of england it's disgusting
what goes on in these churches is discussing their sons of beal
and they're preaching false false gospels aren't they it's false religion
and it's not just in christ Christianity it's at the head of all religion
and the head of judaism just the amount of rabbis convicted of these sorts of
filthy wicked crimes against children and yes they do go hand in hand a hundred
percent do they and i haven't brought the statistics
for me but you can double check on this is that that it is clear that
with many many not servers but many crime reports you've got basically
40 percent 40 percent over 40 percent and by the way they're only the ones
that have gone to law and admitted to what's happened to them 40 percent
of victims of child sexual abuse are male
40 percent in prison pretty much 100 i think in this country there's like two
three women in the whole of the country arrested
for it basically a hundred percent in this country of people in prison
for those sorts of crimes against children a hundred percent basically are
men now in this population
from all surveys done as much as the world and the tv will try and tell you
it's borderline 50 about two to three percent of the world
sorry two to three percent of the uk of our society
claim to be what the what the world calls homosexual
yet nearly half of victims are male how does that work i'll tell you how that
works because statistically let's take away everything else
statistically forget what the Bible says statistically
they are literally i don't even know what the
do the maths one day if you want but multiple
times more likely to be a pedophile okay and and that
it's not just it's not just judaism it's not just christianity
islam islam as well they try and cover that stuff up i mean islam itself
look at the religion anyway look at what muhammad muhammad had a six-year-old
bride consummated at nine i issue it's disgusting
it's disgusting you can have millions billions of people worldwide that
follow that pervert it is disgusting and it and this is a
world over with false religion and you name it across a lot of it and
you look at the bible and it just makes it so clear so why is it
okay with those people go well they're deceived or they're in false religion
they've chosen false religion how is it that a bible believe in christian
cannot just see what the bible clearly says it clearly says it
okay so how does someone become a sodomite how does someone become one of
these wicked wicked people one of these children of belial okay
they're not born that way that is ridiculous because what the bible says
is where they're going and how wicked it is what so do we believe in a god do
these christians claim they believe in a god that will literally just
make someone something that is an abomination from birth
are you anyone looking at any child any baby and child and look at them going
that's a sodomite it's ridiculous but but again where does that sort of
feeling that sort of thought come from or where does it go hand in hand with
calvinism doesn't it because as far as they're concerned people are just born
to hell people are just born with no chance
no chance of salvation they were born just to go to hell
and that's what a sodomite is they're going to hell but they weren't born that
way and there is absolutely no scientific
evidence at all and i'm talking about real science here
there's no scientific evidence at all that there's any sort of gene or
anything else they're not born that way so how do
they become that way well let's go to romans one romans
chapter one amen to romans one
okay romans chapter one and verse 18
let's see what the bible says not what the world says what the bible says
verse 18 for the wrath of god is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness
because that which may be known of god is manifesting them for god has showed
it unto them for the invisible things of him from
the creation of the world are clearly seen
being understood by the things that are made even his eternal parent godhead
so that they are without excuse because that when they knew god they
glorified him not as god neither were thankful but became
vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened
professing themselves to be wise they became
fools and changed the glory of the uncorruptible god into an image made
like to corruptible man into birds of four-footed beasts
and creeping things wherefore god also gave them
up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts to dishonor their own
bodies between themselves who changed the truth of god into a lie
and worshiped and served the creature more than the creator who is blessed
forever amen 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
and even as they did not like to attain god in their knowledge god
gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not
convenient being filled with all unrighteousness
fornication wickedness covetousness maliciousness
full of envy murder debate deceit malignity
whisperers backbiters haters of god despiteful proud
boasters inventors inventors of evil things
disobedient to parents without understanding covenant breakers without
natural affection implacable unmerciful who knowing the judgment of
god that they which commit such things are worthy of
death not only do the same but have pleasure
in them that do them okay and if you're wondering what a reprobate is jeremiah
6 30 says reprobate silver shall shall men call
them because the lord has rejected them they're rejected they're reprobate
okay so how again i was saying how do people become like this well
jude 1 7 says just just interestingly when they're given over this it says
even a sodom and gomorrah in the cities about them in like manner giving
themselves over to fornication going after strange flesh
and set forth for an example suffering the vengeance
of eternal fire so it's an example and they're
wicked disgusting filthy ways when they're that that conscience is gone
the way they behave should should be an example to people
and it should have people look at that god i want to reject god
i do not want to reject god that's what it should be doing and that's what
sodom and gomorrah was was an example of what god thinks of this
but have a look in romans 1 have a look at verse 28
it says to do those things which are not convenient now convenient is suitable or
fit now they're given over to do that they're given over to a reprobate mind
to do that and it it's not just it's not just the
sodomite that's a reprobate there are similar
filthy sins that are not convenient that are not suitable
fit for the body yeah okay and and i don't want to start listing them i'm
sure some of you here could probably think of some in fact
leviticus 20 leviticus 20 covers a lot of those as well
okay and there are many many disgusting things when people are doing that they're
burned in their lust and they're doing these things
they're reprobate they're done they're done they're given over
now have a look at second timothy three second timothy three and i think roe
man's one just speaks for itself anyway you know even without any other any
other verses romans one just says it all how are you
going to argue and that's why again i don't know if any of you guys have ever
heard expository preaching on romans one by anyone that doesn't believe the
reprobate doctrine and the reprobate doctrine is not new
christians bible believers it's there it's clear as day
they've always believed it until more recently
until it's we're getting pushed and and and the thing is
so why am i preaching this probably i would assume everyone here
understands and knows the reprobate doctrine and doesn't have a problem with
it but you could be at different levels of
it as well it's a good reminder of what god really thinks and believes because
we're constantly being attacked with the opposite by the world and it's going to
strengthen you in god's word because the lies just come thick and fast don't
they the brainwashing conditioning and it could be it could be hard for
some to palette because family friends we've got all of us
like i've said before most people here have been saved at some point
let maybe you know in their adult life so
they have friends family and things which which
are given over to a reparate mind so they don't want to believe it
but the bible makes it clear it's so clear it is so clear
second timothy chapter three and verse one
says this this also know that in the last days perilous times shall come
for men shall be lovers of their own selves covetous boasters proud blasphemers
disobedient to parents unthankful unholy without natural affection truth breakers
false accusers incontinent fears despisers of those that are good
traitors heady high-minded lovers of pleasure more than lovers of god
having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof
from such turn away for of this sort are they which creep in the houses and lead
captive silly women laden with sins led away with divers lust
ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth
never able now as janice and jambres withstood moses so do these also resist
the truth men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the faith
but they shall proceed no further for their folly shall be made
shall be manifest under all men as theirs also was
okay by the way janice and jambres are you probably wondering who are these in
the bible janice and jambres doesn't actually
clearly say some people believe that it was the magicians that withstood moses
whoever it is it says here they resist the truth
men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the faith
okay and it said earlier in verse seven ever learning and never able to come to
the knowledge of the truth they're not able
they're not able to come to the knowledge of the truth
okay have a look at john 12 john 12 again just just to strengthen you with
what the bible clearly says john 12 verse 37
john 12 37
but though he had done so many miracles before them yet they believe not on him
but the saying of isaias the prophet might be fulfilled which he spayed
lord who has believed our report and to whom have the arm of the lord been
revealed therefore they could not believe
because that isaias had said again he had blinded their eyes and hardened
their heart that they should not see with their eyes
nor understand with their heart and be converted and i should heal them
okay so these people clearly could not believe
they could not believe and these are reprobates they're unable
they cannot so you get these stupid questions don't you and you've probably
heard these things if you've discussed this stuff well
well i had one of these the other day the guy's saying he's trying to
understand this stuff and he's saying to me so but what if
someone you know what if someone who's gay then believes on jesus
you know and he's they can't they cannot believe on jesus because the bible said
they'd be given over to a reprobate mind says they cannot believe
they cannot believe okay it's impossible they can't and i i don't know if any of
you guys i've actually given the gospel to to someone who who i knocked on the
door and it was someone that i knew their
family and i hadn't seen it for a while i actually coached them a while back
this this young young lady and i started going
through the gospel she was just polite and started listening to me and again
this is you know some double blind placebo trial but this is
just an interesting story anyway that i was going through the gospel with
her and then in my mind i'm suddenly remembering i'm like
yeah i remember what her dad had told me had happened since i'd last seen her
and she she she had a baby then she'd gone off with her
i mean something out of the back soap opera her something like her
grandmother's new boyfriend's granddaughter or something it was wicked
absolutely wicked and they were living in in an estate not far from where you
used to live so i'm going through the gospel with
her and i'm going through it clearly and then i've gone to check in with her
just literally like she hadn't heard a word of it just could not understand
literally a word of what i said you know every single question got wrong
every single one and then i and then at this point i'm like yeah i remember that
okay just take that maybe you know i'll leave you to it because it sounds like
you're busy okay so um and they can't and they can't
they can't be saved now listen yeah but the what people
will attack us we're so mean we're so horrible what everyone can be saved
there's never too late for anyone you have this doctrine this is a more recent
doctrine on this now isn't it every single person can be saved up
until their last dying breath is that what the word of god says no
it doesn't say that other reasons the unsaved can lose hope
of salvation blaspheme in the holy ghost the bible
says they're without forgiveness taking the mark of the beast taking
words out of the bible it's clear as day
yet it's just lies it's people that don't read the bible it's people that
just don't want to believe because they don't want to have to stand up
they don't want to have to stand up and preach the truth because they're scared
they're scared of people and i'm not saying we have to preach it every week
but it needs preaching doesn't it it needs preacher we need to be strong with
it because these people the bible says the
sons of elio these people are the sons of the devil
and it's not always obvious that they're that but but i'll tell you what when
they're making it clear what they are you just know you know
straight away who they are and actually we're we're out soul winning on on
thursday and how simple was it went past the
lady tried to get tried to start talking to her
she said oh no actually i'm i'm a lesbian um
and she said and what what did she say i'm not going to heaven i'm a lesbian
then she said something like god doesn't like me or
yeah doesn't like people like us
job done you didn't have to go waste five ten minutes with her
but she knew she knew there was no like oh i don't believe in him or no no
she knew she knew deep down she knew the truth and she's like no
it's done and that's what what a terrible way to live what a terrible
thing to do to reject god and that is the warning
that's what it's about is when you reject god when you reject
the truth of god at some point and i don't know what
point that is because it's not everyone i don't know how many times i don't
there is some crossover with the lusts of your heart i don't know
how exactly how that works but i know what the bible says
it says it does happen and it's and we see that we see that don't we
okay now with all of that in mind with all of that in mind what the bible says
about and now let's look at these these verses so
back to first corinthians and look at chapter six and verse nine know ye not
that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of god be not deceived
neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor abusers of
themselves with mankind right firstly
effeminate is not a sodomite okay effeminate is not a sodomite
effeminate is having the qualities of the female sex soft or delicate to an
unmanly degree tender womanish voluptuous
it's not a sodomite it's a sin though it's a sin
it's a wicked sin like don't be raising your kids like that
snap that out of them straight away do whatever you need to do
yeah don't be raising your kids to be effeminate
and kids don't start acting effeminate because the world tries to encourage it
doesn't it's a sin that is pushed on by the world and you know and we can
all think of ways they do that hundreds of ways
it's it's wicked but they're not sodomites but now look at this next
term first nine abusers of themselves with mankind
okay now let's debate over this and i've heard debate over this i've seen debate
over this it was a new word it was a new greek
coin greek word i think and i don't you know i'm not going to attempt to go
back to the greek it's also used in first timothy 110
where it says for all monkeys for them that defile themselves with mankind
for them that defile themselves with mankind or
as we just saw abusers of themselves with mankind
now there's a few options here some would say well maybe it's some sort of
like pagan thing some sort of weird kind of
ritualistic thing um maybe it's having been some form of
like non-willing recipient maybe so you basically you're abusing
yourself mankind but you're not burning in your last you're not
some sort maybe it's something you've done something but you weren't you know
you're coercive you know people come up with different ideas
now all the false versions make it into sodomites in one way or another some of
them are pretty graphic about it as well they just say
men who do this and it's like wow you know
and i look at some of the different versions of this
um i would say that rather than whatever they want to call it sodomite
abusers of themselves or those that defile themselves is more
damning if that's really what they what it does mean if that's what it means
that's pretty damning isn't it they're abusers of themselves they
defile themselves yeah okay
now the king james bible for whatever reason use that term
and if it did mean that so so people try oh well it kind of mean that because
they're trying to work out how this could work
okay if it did mean that if we go go down a little bit
so it says it says here it says and such were some of you
in verse 11 such were some of you what does that mean such for some of you now
there's many ways that such can be used number one when you look in the
dictionary is of that kind of the like kind
okay so here's an example i'll think about this here's an example yeah
okay let's think about lists of of and this just something came in my
mind i don't even know why okay so lists of kids paid jobs yeah paid
jobs that some of you might have done or some of you kids
might do okay so and who was a paper boy anyone was a paper boy when they're
young i was a paper boy as well okay great boy who was uh did a milk round or
anyone did a milk delivery round okay did a paper boy had a real man wow
which one came first you do the same time
oh okay i would say let's go up to like 16 okay okay who was a car washer
anyone done car washing as a kid yeah yeah okay for money uh laborer
any sorts of like site laboring darren there we've got gary over there looks at
the back um okay who was a clean did any
cleaning for money anyone ever done any cleaning for money
yep done that as well um what about hairdressing assistant
any hairdressing assistants i think my wife
no no no you didn't no no okay we've got no hairdressing assistants
what about a shop worker any shop workers yeah we've got a shop alex has
done every job as a child child laborer there um okay butcher's
hand anyone works in the butchers no my brother did that um paid like
about a pound a day for it sounded pretty savvy with the bow sword
just trying to cut through these bones anyway what about what about a pick
pocket anyone was a pickpocket
what we got a hand up over there what is going on there with the lizards
okay um what about a tourist guide anyone was a tourist guide as a child
no any in any country yeah we got a tourist guide over there
it's like yeah actually chimney sweep any chimney sweeps
going back a bit far here now gary you had a chimney
um okay what about a ball boy anyone been a ball boy
okay we've got a ball boy in there as well okay okay now here's a thing yeah
now listen to this okay okay kids jobs yeah here's some kids jobs
we've got paper boys milk deliverers car washers laborers cleaners
hairdressing assistants shop workers butcher's hands pickpockets
tourist guys chimney sweeps board boys and such were some of you
is that a lie is that a lie i'm not lying am i such were some of you
such of the like some of those such were some of you
i'm not lying here but i'm not saying that everyone here was any in fact no
one here apparently was a hairdressing assistant
that was one of the ones i thought someone would someone was apparently a
pickpocket but um another one no one was but
okay a butcher's hand but i'm not lying still such were some of you of this list
yeah of the like of similar jobs of similar sins
to the list that we've just gone through it's not saying
that the corinthians were abused that anyone there
was an abuser of themselves with mankind it's not saying that
if that's what what what really the king james bible was trying to tell us
what it is is a sodomite and regardless it's not saying that but
either way whether or not you but i'm not so sure
maybe it is saying that well then then abuse themselves with mankind doesn't
mean that because you can't go against clear doctrine in
scripture and take one verse which is completely
out of context when you take you it's talking about the world judging
people it's not talking about oh well actually
paul i just want in case you're looking at romans one and you're looking at all
these other places in scripture i just want to make it clear
to you that in fact uh sodomites can get saved
he's not saying that is it he's talking about going to law
against it with going to lord and going to the world
and but anyway um do you know it does do that list when
you go through that list
like in verse 11 verses 11 says there's such as some of you but ye are washed
but ye are sanctified but you're justified in the name of the lord jesus
by spirit god does it just make you grateful
and make you grateful that we're washed that we're sanctified
that we didn't reject the gospel time and time or reject
the knowledge of god even just the knowledge of him to the point where
where we've been given over to a reprobate mind and amen and praise god
that that we're saved by the blood of christ
they're not by our own works now he says in verse 12
all things are lawful unto me but all things are not expedient all things are
lawful for me but i will not be brought under the power of any day expedient
what's expedient that's fit or suitable for the purpose yeah he's saying yes
we're not under the law but god still has a purpose for us he
still has a purpose for us we're not under the law
but sin can still have power over us and it does doesn't it
sin has power so again people will try and pick a verse this
all things are lawful you're like like jesus christ died on the cross
paid for your sins so you could just go out and do wicked sin
things which god has said are disgusting and terrible or abomination no you know
all things are lawful unto me it's fine no it's saying we're not under
the law yeah we're not under the law anymore
but these things are not expedient and they'll be brought under the power of
these things he's saying he's not brought under the power of these things
um first john 5 3 says for this is the love of god that we keep his
commandments and his commandments are not grievous the love of god is
that we keep his commandments and it's not well we're legalistic no
we're not we're actually trying to live a life
that got what it's pleasing to god and will therefore be pleasing for us
and like we said earlier life where we'll then be blessed
and and they're not grievous the commandments are not grievous
they're not because the more you start following god the more you start living
for god the happier you are the happier you are
when you're living in sin it's not a nice place to be
especially more so as a born again child of god
okay verse 13 meets for the belly and the belly for meats but god shall
destroy both it and them now the body is not for
fornication but for the lord and the lord for the body
okay i think this is talking about just fulfilling carnal desire the lusts of
the flesh meets for the belly of the belly for
me's but god shall destroy both it and then yeah you're not under
the law you're not under the law but god will still punish you
god will punish you god shall destroy both it and them when you're just living
with that carnal desire of just and you know it's kind of the world's
mantra is that really in some way isn't it
basically that the body is for fornication it that that you know that
just you know enjoy yourselves you know why would god ever
giving you that you know for the kind of so-called you know nominal christian
why did god give us you know something so pleasurable or something
some nonsense like that meets for the belly and belly for meats
enjoy our life they say or fulfill your heart's desire
you heard that stuff as long as it makes you happy do what you like as long as it
makes you happy oh you go to church as long as it
makes you happy um or these you know these pleasures are
here to enjoy god's given these things to enjoy i've heard that from a pulpit
i've heard that from a pulpit not talking about these particular sins necessarily
but saying all these you know god's given us he sings to
enjoy there's nothing wrong with and talking about alcohol and talking
about all these other types of things just wicked wicked um but this is by
contrast the truth he says here in in the bottom of that
verse verse 13 he says the body basically is for the
lord and lord for the body okay so and this this this
verse here of course you can apply that to your own body but it's also
applies to the church also called the body of christ isn't it
have a look at ephesians 5 25
and ephesians 5 25
husbands love your wives even as christ also loved the church and gave himself
for it that he might sanctify cleanse it with a washing of water by the word
that he might present it to himself a glorious church
not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing
but it should be holy and without blemish
so christ gave himself didn't he the lord for the body of the church
but the church is for the lord isn't it to present it to the lord and that's
this church our church is for the lord
okay and and that's a good thing to remember what i was talking about
earlier it's not about us individually it's about presenting this church to the
lord doing our utmost to make this something that the lord will look at look
down on and and see it without spot wrinkle or
any such thing that should be holy and without blemish
that's how we want god to see our church and we all we all every single person
here plays a part in that um verse 14 says and god has both raised
up the lord and will also raise up us by his own power
yeah we know that we're going to be raised up aren't we look at verse 50
know ye not that your bodies are the members of christ shall i then
take the members of christ and make them the members of an harlot
god forbid so if you had a finger in ephesians
ephesians 5 3rd says from we are members of his body
of his flesh and of his bones okay our bodies are members of christ said
verse 15 now where we're at in first corinthians 6
um shall i then take the members of christ and make them members of an
harlot so harlot is a woman who prostitutes her body for hire as we
talked about earlier and and by the way it's not always
for straight money there are many people that god will look down at and see
a harlot and see a harlot who's not out there on
whatever you picture you know on the street corner there are there are women
that will basically prostitute their body for
wealth for for esteem for positions of power for favor for many things
and they're harlots now look at verse 16 what no
know ye not that he which is joined to in harlot is one body
for two saithi shall be one flesh okay so this is referring to genesis 2
24 so have a quick look at that
so genesis chapter 2 she read will read from verse 23
genesis 2 23 and adams said this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh
she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man
therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his
wife and they shall be one flesh one flesh
this is what he's talking about here now he's saying here that when you're
basically and if you think about this with fornication
that you're basically becoming one body with whoever it is
that you're fornicated with and especially obviously with a harlot
you're becoming one body and and that's a wicked thing to do isn't it when it's
out of marriage it's a wicked thing to do especially
with the types of people that many people do that with because when it's
out of marriage and i know you know again i know that
we've we've lived in this world and many of us
probably have our past that we don't want to think about but
it is wicked it is wicked and the bible's clear
about about how how bad fornication is but when you're doing that you're
becoming one body with a harlot that now as a saved christian that's
something else isn't it that's something else
so he's because he says here in verse 17 but he that is joined unto the lord is
one spirit now that one spirit is the holy spirit
first corinthians 12 verse 13 says for by one spirit are we all
baptized into one body whether we be jews or gentiles whether
it be bond or free and have been all made to drink into one
spirit so that one spirit's the holy spirit
now let's have a look at verse 18 it says here flee fornication
every sin that a man doeth is without the body but he that committed fornication
sinneth against his own body right it says to flee it that means to get
away run away just have nothing to do with it
get away from it now that's strong language isn't it
because now here's is what what i was thinking
about when i was looking at this perhaps where genesis 2 24 says you
become one body so when you're committing fornication
you you're sinning against the other person too aren't you
because you're you're defiling them you're defiling that other person
whether or not you know you think that they're just so willing or whatever else
so you're becoming one body one flesh and you're sinning against your own body
that's how i was looking at it because there are the sins where it affects your
body there are the sins i mean i was just
thinking you know drunkenness gluttony for example and the health effects and
the things you do to yourself so i was that's how i was looking at
i was thinking well you're becoming one body you're sinning against and that's
just a bizarre situation of being and it's
it's therefore a bit of a unique sin because you're becoming one body but
you're sinning against your one body and and maybe mentally spiritually it
just makes it even worse of a sin um and it is it's a it's a disgusting sin
and we talked about that last week um and the bible says to flee it he says
here flee fornication and and obviously he's he's just been talking
about that brother in christ and he's and he's talking to other saved people
in the church these are saved people that paul is
saying to to to flee it to he's he's having to
preach about this and and like i've said this to these works
salvations he's repenting of your sins types before
what is the point in the majority or a large part of the new testament
if we somehow are just clean from all sin and i know it sounds
it's ridiculous isn't it to us but these people clearly believe that you somehow
just you're stopping sinning you're going to
give up sin to be saved it's constantly telling you
constantly exhorting you not to see it and and he says here in verse 19
what know ye not that your body is a temple of the holy ghost which is in you
which he have of god and you are not your own
so what no you're not the temp that your body is a temple of the holy ghost which
is in you which he have of god and you're not your own
and and what a thought what a thought that we're a temple of the holy spirit
we have the indwelling holy ghost which makes us a temple
you are a temple we've got to get that through our heads sometimes and it's not
just i'm not just talking about fornication we have many things
have some self-respect and and at least have respect for the fact that you're a
temple of the holy ghost you have the holy ghost in you
and as paul was trying to encourage the corinthians to we wish we should respect
this truth shouldn't we and that's what he's trying to do
temple of the holy ghost sort yourselves out
clean up your lives he says in verse 20 it's like that's not enough he says this
for ye are bought with a price therefore glorify god in your body and in your
spirit which are gods so let that sink in when
we were redeemed by the precious blood of christ that
means we were purchased we were bought it's not about you your
it's not you or what you want and oh well i just
want to do you know i want to do it my way i just
want to you know i'll just do this part and take
out that part that's not that's that's not biblical well we're all
just under grace do what you like no you've been
bought you've been bought with a price and that price
it is a precious price let's have a look at first peter chapter one
first peter chapter one verse 18 says
for as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things
silver and gold from your vain conversation
received by tradition from your fathers but
with the precious blood of christ as of a lamb without blemish and without
spot and just quickly then he's saying from your vein conversation your
behavior received by tradition for your father that's not
not how you say but with the precious blood of christ
as of a lamb without blemish and without spot
it's precious the blood of christ is precious
like he's died on a he shed his blood to pay for our sins and then we just
look at it and go yeah but but i don't want to do that bit i
don't want to do that all right well it just i'm just enjoying that bit too
much it's just me that's the way it is like and and paul here he's saying to
them look you've been bought with a price
look at the price look at what you've been bought with
like that that that is something that i think we should remind ourselves of a
lot remind ourselves of a lot when we're
just getting annoyed and angry with life or whatever else
thrown in our way remind yourself that you were bought with a precious
precious price okay that means get rid of your own selfish
desires at once start glorifying god he says therefore glorify god in your body
and it goes back to my sermon this morning as well or certain things about
not walking away of sinners and glorify god in your body
you're bought with a price and start glorifying god because the bible says he
owns you he owns you okay let's let's pray on that
heavenly father thank you for your word thank you
thank you for clear doctrines of the bible that regards of what the world
tells us we should be believing and what false
christianity and and vain and empty teachers of the
law try and tell us to thank you that we have your bible it
