If you guys turn your Bibles to Deuteronomy 4-9.
Deuteronomy 4-9 says,
O being take heed to thyself and keep thy soul diligently,
lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen,
and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life,
but teach them, thy sons and thy sons' sons,
specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God
in horror, when the Lord said unto me,
Gather me, the people together,
and I will make them hear my words,
that they may learn to fear me all the days
that they shall live upon the earth,
and that they may teach their children.
Let's pray.
Do it, Father God, I thank you for this wonderful day.
God, I thank you for everything you do for us.
I pray that you be with me as I preach this sermon.
You give me a clear mind, God,
and I pray that you'd help me
to deliver the message that you put on my heart, God,
and I pray that you would help me to say
exactly what you want me to say.
In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
So the title of my sermon is
Why Danielle Bregoli Should Be Stoned With Stones.
And I know that the title of this sermon
is not a very nice one.
It's not a very loving one, I guess is what people would say.
But you know what?
It is a loving sermon that I'm about to preach,
but how people perceive love nowadays
is not how love really is.
And so with that, I'm gonna begin to tell you
a little bit of the story about this girl,
if you don't know who she is, just some background, okay?
It says Danielle Marie Bregoli was born March 26th, 2003,
and is an American rapper and social media personality,
a probably 15-year-old girl now.
She became known from a viral video and meme
with her phrase, catch me outside, how about that,
after appearing on an episode of Dr. Phil in 2016.
Says she was born, I already told you that,
her parents, Ira Peckowitz and Barbara Ann Bregoli
dated for a year before Bregoli's mother became pregnant,
later breaking up when she was an infant.
Bregoli was raised primarily by her mother
and is estranged from her father, a deputy,
who works in Palm Beach, in the Palm Beach Police Department,
which by the way, he's trying to get her back
now that she is worth a lot of money.
He's trying to get custody of his daughter, imagine that.
But so this 13-year-old girl was invited
on the Dr. Phil show because her mom basically said,
I can't handle her anymore,
I can't deal with this kid anymore,
she's too rebellious, she's too crazy,
I can't reason with her at all anymore.
So she brings her on the Dr. Phil show
so that he can give some of his worldly wisdom
and save the day, okay, in a spank-free way.
That's what Dr. Phil believes,
he doesn't think you should spank your children.
Because the best thing for a child
when they're rebelling against their mom
is to bring them on national television, okay?
That's the best thing that you can do for them.
But during the show, the audience,
they were laughing at her because she speaks
like she's from the hood or something like that.
You can't even understand what she's saying.
Her whole catch me outside, how about that?
That's how she says it.
She says it like she was raised in the hood
and she wasn't, she just tries to agnicum.
But anyways, you could barely understand her the whole time
and the audience is laughing at her.
And basically, her mom, she says some vile things
to the audience and her mom says, knock it off,
don't talk to him like that.
So she gets up on the Dr. Phil show
and tries to fight her mom on national television.
She gets right in her face, she tries to fight her
and they tell her to sit down in her seat.
That's the kind of girl that we're dealing with right now.
But before the show ever even started,
they had like an interview before the show
because she didn't end up hitting her on the show.
And during the interview, they asked her some questions
and these are some of her quotes that she gives.
She said, I have to dodge her because if she hits me,
I'm gonna give it to her.
Imagine that in a hood voice, I can't do it though.
And she said, I'm pretty violent.
I punched her in the face
because she wouldn't get out of my face.
That sounds like a really loving girl, really great girl.
But she's saying all this the whole time.
She's laughing and smirking.
She has no sorrow, no shame.
She's just totally fine.
Yeah, I punched my mom in the face.
Who cares?
And then she goes on to say
how she stole her mom's credit card
and bought a stripper pole and she stole her car
and she constantly sneaks out.
So they try to resolve this issue
because Dr. Phil doesn't believe in spanking.
They send her to a bad girl's ranch basically
and it shows her riding a horse in the video.
I don't know how that helps you.
I'd like to go ride a horse, okay?
But that's a different story.
But spoiler alert, that doesn't work
because the Bible didn't say to put someone in timeout.
The Bible didn't say to ground your kids.
It didn't say to send them to a little girl's ranch.
It said to beat them with the rod.
That's what the Bible says
and that's what her mom should have done.
And you see that later on her mom tries
to fight around with her, but it's too late.
You should have done that when she was a child
and when she wasn't big enough to fight with you, okay?
That's why it says give the child the rod a correction.
But so basically she gets back from this ranch
and she didn't change at all.
She's still the same girl that she was,
still a wicked girl.
And instead of everyone hating her,
instead of anybody shunning her
and treating her like a little girl who hits their mom,
what companies immediately started doing
because she got popular with her little catch phrase
is they started having her sponsor their merchandise
and they invited her on their YouTube channel
if they're a popular YouTuber or did things like that.
And now when I looked it up on Google,
she's worth $1.2 million is what the Bible says,
or not the, good night, is what Google says.
Good night.
But she's worth $1.2 million.
A girl who hit her mom and she was praised for it basically,
given $102 million and that's what we teach our kids.
That's America today, that if you hit your mom,
you're gonna make a million dollars.
Why not?
That's what America's teaching kids today.
But she should be worth zero dollars
because she should be dead and stoned with stones
is what the Bible says.
The Bible says in Exodus 21, 15,
and he that smiteth his father or his mother
shall surely be put to death.
Not might be put to death, not may,
you know, whatever, maybe I can forgive it,
it says they shall surely be put to death
is what the Bible says.
And I don't care if that offends anybody in this room
or anybody in the whole world
because that's what the Bible says.
And let this be a warning to every kid in this room
that if that thought even crosses your mind
that God says that you're worthy to be stoned with stones,
if you actually do commit that act,
if you do hit your parents, you know.
And a lot of people, for some reason nowadays,
they think that this is done away with,
that commandment that they should be put to death.
But that's not what the Bible says.
They try to bring up the woman that committed adultery
but hey, newsflash, that's adultery,
not hitting your parents.
And second of all,
that wasn't even why Jesus didn't have her stoned
because the Pharisees were tempting him.
And they didn't bring the guy
that they were supposed to bring with the stonem.
And Jesus was not, you know, he was a man like,
it'd be like if someone brought a sodomite in here,
which God forbid that happened.
But if someone did and they said,
we caught him in the very act of sodomy.
What say you?
We do, Remy.
And I'd say nothing
because I'm not in charge of putting to death.
That's the government's job.
And it's the same situation, you know.
But you know, and if anybody says
that this is done away with, they're liars.
It's not true.
It's not what the Bible says.
You know, and then they'll bring up,
oh, well, it also says that if a kid curses his parents,
they should be put to death.
Do you believe that, huh, huh?
Yeah, I do believe that
because that's what the Bible says.
And you act like it's crazy
and God's the one who said it.
Like, do you read your Bible anymore?
Do you understand what it says?
They act like it's a stupid notion
and God Almighty put it in the Bible.
Doesn't make any sense.
Where do you get that from?
Where do you think they've done it away?
But you know why they think it's done away?
Because that's what the Bible colleges teach now.
And the Bible colleges teach that it's all love
and there's no punishment, that there's no, you know,
that there's nothing that you can do to someone.
But the Bible says that if you smite someone
or if a kid smites their parents,
they should be put to death.
That's what the Bible says.
And it was never done away with
and you can never show me a scripture
that says that it was done away with.
You know, but that's the problem.
They don't believe the Bible anymore.
They believe what the Bible college says.
They don't read their Bible and say,
it says they should be put to death.
They just say, well, you know, grace and love and why?
I don't understand.
But Deuteronomy, if you wanna go there,
Deuteronomy 4-8 says,
and what nation is there so great
that has statutes and judgment so righteous as this law,
which I set before you this day?
And you know what the law he's talking about?
It's talking about the kid that curses their parents
should be put to death, okay?
It's talking about the kid that hits their parents
should be put to death.
That's the great law that God gave them.
That's the law that's more righteous
than any law that's ever been set forth.
And that's what God said himself.
So if you try to argue with that,
you're arguing with God, you know?
But they try to argue with God.
They try to reason it their own little way.
That's not what the Bible says.
And by the way, the cursing there
is not just talking about cussing at your parents, okay?
Because if, you know,
and they try to act like every kid
has always cursed their parents.
I never cursed my parents.
I never wished my parents to die.
I never wished any ill upon my parents.
You know, who does that?
Weird people do that, you know?
Who hits their parents?
Weird people do.
I never hit my parents either.
And none of us have ever hit our parents.
And I hope nobody in this room hit their parents, okay?
But anyways, Deuteronomy 21, there's more.
It says, if a man have a stubborn rebellious son
which will not obey the voice of his father
or the voice of his mother,
and that when they have chastened him
will not hearken unto them,
then shall his father and his mother lay a hold on him
and bring him unto the elders of the city
and to the gate of this place.
And they shall say unto the elders of the city,
this our son is stubborn and rebellious.
He will not obey our voice.
He is a glutton and a drunkard.
All the men of this city shall stone him with stones
that he die.
So thou put evil away from among you
and all Israel shall hear and fear.
Which this girl meets two of them
because she hit her mom
and she also is the most rebellious kid I've seen, okay?
But notice back in verse 18 that it says,
verse back in verse 18, it says,
will not obey the voice of his father
or the voice of his mother.
See, it's supposed to be two parents raising one kid,
not just one parent raising one kid.
And if you remember the article earlier,
it said that they split up before
when she was just an infant.
And you wonder why she becomes a little monster.
It's because there's supposed to be two parents in the home.
And I guarantee you if that dad was in the home,
if he had any guts,
he wouldn't let his kid hit the mother, okay?
And when it says in Matthew, it says,
wherefore they are no more twain,
but one flesh what therefore God has joined together,
let not man put asunder.
That's not just because it helps
the people that are in the relationship,
but it also helps their kids later on the road.
And I had someone try to justify to me
that adultery was okay in the Old Testament
for whatever reason, okay?
How can you say that when it says,
but from the beginning it was not so, okay?
That doesn't make any sense.
Adultery was never okay.
They said just for any uncleanness.
For any uncleanness, adultery was okay.
So every time of the month,
the girl gets her thing of the time of the month,
you're gonna be able to divorce your wife.
That doesn't make any sense.
Anyways, keep going on.
It says parents, or good night,
it says, I'm reading up my notes, sorry.
In verse 21, notice that too that it says,
and all Israel shall hear and fear.
See, the purpose of this was not just to cause
the most painful death ever.
It was to make sure that every other kid,
every other son and daughter obeyed their parents
because they didn't wanna end up like that.
It was supposed to be an example.
That's the real reason for it.
And that's a great example because if any of those
rotten little kids got stoned today
for hitting their mom and dad,
I guarantee you that there'd be a lot less kids
hitting their mom and dad.
And I'm not talking like a three-year-old, okay?
That's a child, or like a little infant, first of all.
But I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about when they're of age
and they know the difference between right and wrong.
That's what God was talking about too, okay?
So don't twist that.
So, and the next generation would have a lot more respect,
and I guarantee you nobody would go on national TV
telling everybody how they hit their mom, okay?
And then make a million dollars for it.
That's the America we live in.
But you know, what scumbag person
hits their kid in the first place, okay?
Or hits their parent in the first place?
You know, the parents, the mom that, you know,
held you in her stomach for nine months
and then changed your diapers and fed you
and gave you your clothes and raised you your whole life
and you're gonna turn around and hit your parent.
That's why God says you're worthy of death,
because that's disgusting.
That's terrible.
So parents, how do you not let your kids end up like this?
And that's how I'll wrap this up.
In Deuteronomy 4, 9, going back there, it said,
"'Only take heed thyself and keep thy soul diligently,
"'lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen
"'and lest they depart from my heart
"'all the days of thy life.
"'But teach them, thy sons, and thy sons' sons,
"'specially the day thou sittest before the Lord,
"'thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me,
"'Gather me the people together
"'and I will make them hear my words,
"'and they may learn to fear me all the days
"'that they shall live upon the earth
"'and that they may teach their children.'"
But notice, you know, notice right there,
the context of this is Moses is basically writing
his last kind of instructions to the Israelites,
if you will, before they go into the Promised Land.
And what he's telling them, he emphasizes it twice.
At the end of verse nine, it says,
"'But teach them, thy sons, and thy sons' sons.'"
Okay, and at the end of verse 10, it says,
that they may teach their children.
The way you make your kid not end up
like a spoiled monster who's worthy of death
is that you teach them the word of God at a young age.
You teach them God's law at a young age.
And this is the theme throughout the whole Bible.
You know, my son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
Parents, teach your kids the Bible.
Teach them the songs.
Teach them the hymns.
Teach them the spiritual songs.
You know, teach them the laws.
Teach them what the Bible actually says,
and they won't end up like a little monster, okay?
And also, parents, spank your kids.
That's what you're supposed to do.
I don't have the verse in front of me,
but you're supposed to beat them with a rod,
is what it says, okay?
Dr. Phil, I saw this thing on YouTube,
and I don't watch Dr. Phil, by the way.
It was a popular meme, and I remember being,
this girl said, catch me outside,
and I was like, what is this talking about?
And I looked it up on YouTube, and that's how I found it,
so don't try to get me for watching Dr. Phil.
But he said, this is an example,
because he said that spanking your kids doesn't work,
so, you know, I'm losing my thought,
but anyways, he said that spanking your kids doesn't work,
so what he did is he had a woman from the audience
who thought that you should spank your kids,
and he said, smack me on the hand as hard as you can,
and then she smacked him like a little bit
or whatever on the hand, and he said,
see, that doesn't even really work with your kids,
but the reason why, he was like,
because you're only like a 120 pound girl,
how are you gonna inflict pain on a kid?
Well, that's why you use the rod, okay?
Not your hand.
He should've got a rod and hit it with a hand,
and I bet he would've went, ouch!
Okay?
But anyways, to wrap this all up,
parents, if you wanna avoid your kids
being little wicked brats worthy of death,
stay together as parents.
Don't split up, don't commit adultery,
don't leave each other, stay together for your kids
and for your own sakes,
and teach them the Bible at a young age,
spank them and love your kids,
and that's how you will end up having a great kid,
a kid that, you know, it says that if you,
let me find that verse,
if you train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old, he will not depart from it,
so if you teach him young,
they'll end up like great kids, okay?
So, and that girl should be put to death, okay?
Let me end on that note, too,
that that girl is a wicked girl,
and she should be stoned with stones,
is what the Bible says,
and there's nothing you're gonna show me in the Bible
that's gonna change my mind,
because it never does away with that commandment.
Let's pray.
Father God, I thank you for this wonderful day.
God, I pray that my sermon that I gave
would be edifying God,
and that we wouldn't have a bunch of little monsters
in this room, God,
but we'd have kids that love you and serve you,
and we'd have parents that would love their kids,
and that they would raise them up in a correct way.
In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
