00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.620
 You should have gave me a better warning than that, brother.

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:11.060
 Get me all tore up before I try to preach.

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.599
 If you have your Bibles, turn to Luke chapter 10.

00:00:15.700 --> 00:00:19.480
 Luke chapter 10, one of the most beautiful castles in Ireland

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:25.199
 came to a strange and unusual end.

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.300
 And Castle Ray was one of the architectural gems in all of Ireland.

00:00:32.539 --> 00:00:36.259
 And it fell into disrepair and was uninhabited

00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:40.820
 to the point that the peasants went and took the stones

00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:46.560
 that had been so craftily cut and easily now removable

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:53.899
 to use them for building chimneys and shacks and pigsties.

00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.380
 They were slowly dismantling the castle.

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:03.640
 And the surviving heir, Lord Londonbury,

00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.700
 visited and saw it being scavenged stone by stone.

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.340
 So he ordered an agent to come to build a six-foot wall

00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:17.180
 around the castle and top it with stone.

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:19.160
 And he left.

00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:25.040
 And three, four years later, he came back

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:30.080
 and he found a six-foot wall around the place

00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:31.540
 where the castle had been.

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:33.980
 But there was no castle.

00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:36.480
 It had vanished.

00:01:38.620 --> 00:01:39.180
 Disappeared.

00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:41.720
 He asked the agent,

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:45.480
 why did you not do what I told you to do?

00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.820
 He said, I did do what you told me to do.

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:50.860
 He said, then where's the castle?

00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:54.740
 He said, is it for me, my Lord,

00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:57.340
 to be going all over Ireland,

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:00.040
 digging up stone with the finest stone in Ireland

00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.620
 could be found right here in the castle?

00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:08.580
 He had torn down the castle

00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:12.700
 in order to build the wall.

00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:16.700
 He could have had both a wall and a castle,

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.939
 but he chose to tear down the castle

00:02:19.939 --> 00:02:21.819
 and build a wall.

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.540
 Church, if we're not careful in the day in which we live,

00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:30.879
 we'll work so hard to build a protective wall

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.120
 around the church to keep out false ideas

00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:35.799
 and the people that hold them

00:02:35.799 --> 00:02:39.159
 that will miss the very opportunity of ministry

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.419
 that God has placed us in the middle of.

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:44.419
 And I'll be honest,

00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:46.219
 that may be the greatest challenge

00:02:46.219 --> 00:02:48.379
 of any Bible-believing church

00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:53.879
 that cares about reaching out to others for Christ.

00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:56.340
 God has placed us.

00:02:57.219 --> 00:02:58.939
 Christ has commissioned us.

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.919
 The Holy Spirit has empowered us.

00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:05.060
 But if we get too wrapped up

00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:07.719
 with the activities and the ideologies

00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.599
 and the politics of our world,

00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:12.740
 we'll neglect the only thing that really matters

00:03:12.740 --> 00:03:14.539
 because it is the only thing

00:03:14.539 --> 00:03:17.219
 that has eternal consequences.

00:03:18.579 --> 00:03:21.719
 Let us work so hard to keep the world.

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:25.579
 Let us not work so hard to keep the world out

00:03:25.579 --> 00:03:27.960
 that we never reach them.

00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:32.640
 And then we fail at the very mission

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:36.819
 that Christ has given us as a church.

00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:38.219
 I want to be clear this morning

00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:41.600
 about what's important to us.

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:43.879
 And the reason why it's important to us

00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:45.580
 is because it's important to Jesus.

00:03:46.740 --> 00:03:48.680
 And because what's most important to Christ

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:50.659
 ought to be most important to his disciples,

00:03:51.060 --> 00:03:53.360
 to his students, to his followers,

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:57.680
 to those that use the name that comes after him,

00:03:58.040 --> 00:03:59.780
 from him, and that's Christian.

00:04:01.160 --> 00:04:04.320
 Most important thing is found in Luke chapter 10.

00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.840
 Luke chapter 10, beginning in verse 25,

00:04:09.100 --> 00:04:09.800
 and it says this,

00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.280
 And behold, a lawyer stood up

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.240
 to put him, speaking of Christ, to the test,

00:04:16.180 --> 00:04:18.740
 saying, Teacher, what shall I do

00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:21.340
 to inherit eternal life?

00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:23.639
 And he said to him,

00:04:23.699 --> 00:04:25.920
 What's written in the law, how do you read it?

00:04:26.780 --> 00:04:27.660
 And he said,

00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:30.620
 You shall love the Lord your God

00:04:30.620 --> 00:04:31.699
 with all your heart,

00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:33.819
 with all your soul,

00:04:34.180 --> 00:04:35.800
 with all your strength,

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:36.720
 and with all your mind,

00:04:36.780 --> 00:04:37.840
 and your neighbor as yourself.

00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:40.540
 Jesus said to him,

00:04:41.579 --> 00:04:43.100
 You've answered correctly.

00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:45.520
 Do this,

00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:47.560
 and you will live.

00:04:48.819 --> 00:04:50.920
 Now how do we carry that out

00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.600
 in America today?

00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:55.900
 Well, the first thing we do

00:04:55.900 --> 00:04:56.780
 is we love the Lord.

00:04:58.259 --> 00:04:59.080
 We love the Lord.

00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:01.080
 He describes it as a love

00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:01.960
 with all your heart,

00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:02.800
 with all your soul,

00:05:02.939 --> 00:05:03.759
 with all your strength,

00:05:03.819 --> 00:05:04.699
 with all your mind.

00:05:04.699 --> 00:05:07.979
 Can you love with any more than that?

00:05:08.039 --> 00:05:09.659
 I think that's about all you got, you know?

00:05:09.939 --> 00:05:12.620
 And I really think that the overall meaning of that

00:05:12.620 --> 00:05:13.680
 is to love the Lord

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.579
 with everything that you are.

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.519
 That's really the big meaning.

00:05:17.620 --> 00:05:18.599
 But let's break it down.

00:05:19.300 --> 00:05:20.899
 I mean, when it mentions the heart,

00:05:21.019 --> 00:05:21.860
 he speaks of,

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:23.659
 as Solomon did,

00:05:24.620 --> 00:05:25.459
 in Proverbs,

00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:27.039
 when he says that the heart

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:28.980
 is the wellspring of life.

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.459
 Everything that we are

00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:32.680
 flows out of our heart.

00:05:32.779 --> 00:05:33.699
 It's our thoughts,

00:05:33.699 --> 00:05:34.639
 it's our words,

00:05:34.719 --> 00:05:35.560
 it's our deeds.

00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.680
 If you love the Lord like you should,

00:05:39.339 --> 00:05:40.959
 it's going to affect how you think,

00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.099
 it's going to affect what you say,

00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.879
 it's going to affect what you do.

00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:49.919
 When the soul is mentioned here,

00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:50.959
 his audience,

00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:54.079
 the first audience that Jesus was speaking to that day,

00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:56.680
 would think of the soul

00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.219
 as the seat of the emotions.

00:05:58.220 --> 00:06:01.260
 What are you passionate about?

00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:03.620
 What are you devoted to?

00:06:04.760 --> 00:06:06.340
 The New Testament says that

00:06:06.340 --> 00:06:08.620
 what you love

00:06:08.620 --> 00:06:09.680
 with all your,

00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:12.780
 that the things that you're most passionate about

00:06:12.780 --> 00:06:14.340
 are the things that you love with all your soul.

00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:15.460
 Then it says,

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:16.820
 when he speaks of the mind,

00:06:17.960 --> 00:06:19.820
 he speaks of the seat

00:06:19.820 --> 00:06:22.180
 and the center of your intellectual life.

00:06:22.180 --> 00:06:27.280
 It is interesting how unresolved we can be

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:28.019
 if we're not careful.

00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.040
 Live and think a certain way

00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:32.620
 when you're not at church

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:35.360
 and then come to church

00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.000
 and act as if we live

00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.600
 as the Bible teaches.

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:39.519
 If we're not careful,

00:06:40.819 --> 00:06:42.399
 people you see during the week

00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.879
 will not recognize you at church.

00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:48.259
 And your own family may not.

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.120
 And that should not be.

00:06:52.379 --> 00:06:53.759
 Now you do get forgiveness

00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.639
 for that ride to church, okay?

00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.300
 That stressful ride to church sometimes.

00:07:01.159 --> 00:07:02.600
 If you love the Lord

00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.000
 with all your mind,

00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.199
 your dispositions will change for him.

00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:15.180
 Your attitude will line up with him.

00:07:16.719 --> 00:07:18.339
 How you see things

00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:21.000
 will be consistent with scripture.

00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:24.019
 Now the purpose here

00:07:24.019 --> 00:07:26.120
 is not to dissect yourself

00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.079
 into three or four different parts,

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:30.519
 soul, heart, mind, and strength,

00:07:30.599 --> 00:07:31.980
 but instead to love the Lord

00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:33.800
 for all that you are.

00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:37.300
 Now I love my family.

00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:40.060
 I talk about them.

00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:41.259
 I think about them.

00:07:41.379 --> 00:07:42.340
 I do for them.

00:07:43.020 --> 00:07:44.360
 They are my heart.

00:07:44.500 --> 00:07:45.680
 I'm passionate about them.

00:07:46.460 --> 00:07:48.199
 Mess with me, I don't care.

00:07:48.379 --> 00:07:49.860
 But you mess with my family.

00:07:50.939 --> 00:07:52.960
 I become a zealot quickly.

00:07:55.180 --> 00:07:56.879
 I love them with all my mind.

00:07:58.439 --> 00:07:59.519
 They're on my every thought.

00:08:01.460 --> 00:08:03.000
 I'm consumed with my family.

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:08.139
 I pray for them first thing every day.

00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:10.800
 I think about their schedule.

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:11.920
 Think about what they're doing.

00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:13.879
 Think about what appears

00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:14.759
 to be their mindset.

00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:17.819
 I pray through those things.

00:08:17.899 --> 00:08:19.079
 I check on them throughout the day.

00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:20.300
 I locate them on their phone.

00:08:20.620 --> 00:08:21.800
 If I don't know where they're at,

00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:22.540
 I want to know why

00:08:22.540 --> 00:08:23.439
 I don't know where they're at.

00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.019
 I lock the door at night

00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:27.879
 when they're all in.

00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:34.039
 I love them with all that I am.

00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.000
 And I will do everything that I can do.

00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.039
 That is my strength.

00:08:40.059 --> 00:08:42.399
 To do what's best and what pleases them.

00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:43.240
 I love them

00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.299
 with all that I am.

00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.159
 That's how we're to be

00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:52.600
 for the Lord.

00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:55.539
 Sold out.

00:08:55.539 --> 00:08:58.179
 Dedicated.

00:08:59.500 --> 00:09:00.719
 That's what he's talking about.

00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:02.179
 Consumed folks.

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:04.339
 Love the Lord.

00:09:05.699 --> 00:09:06.919
 The second thing is

00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:08.139
 love his message.

00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:11.860
 The final message of Christ.

00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:13.339
 The Great Commission tells us

00:09:13.339 --> 00:09:15.339
 to tell the story of the gospel.

00:09:15.719 --> 00:09:17.139
 The good news of Christ.

00:09:17.259 --> 00:09:18.279
 To ask people

00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.699
 if they know the Lord personally.

00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:22.699
 Ask him if there's ever been

00:09:22.699 --> 00:09:23.579
 a time in their life

00:09:23.579 --> 00:09:25.299
 when Christ has changed them.

00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:26.740
 Ask him if they're saved.

00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:28.599
 Lead them to Christ.

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.419
 Nurture relationships

00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:34.339
 to provide that kind of opportunity.

00:09:35.219 --> 00:09:36.219
 Let me tell you

00:09:36.219 --> 00:09:37.599
 if you don't know yet

00:09:37.599 --> 00:09:39.439
 America needs Jesus.

00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.259
 They need Jesus desperately.

00:09:43.339 --> 00:09:44.319
 And I've only been around

00:09:44.319 --> 00:09:45.379
 for so many decades

00:09:45.379 --> 00:09:46.379
 but I'm telling you

00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:48.099
 America needs Jesus worse now

00:09:48.099 --> 00:09:49.979
 than they have ever in my life.

00:09:50.079 --> 00:09:50.939
 And I got a feeling

00:09:50.939 --> 00:09:52.839
 ever in the life of America.

00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:52.940
 America.

00:09:56.379 --> 00:09:58.440
 And it's our responsibility.

00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:01.840
 He's not only invited us

00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.019
 he's commissioned us

00:10:03.019 --> 00:10:05.519
 to do something about that.

00:10:06.980 --> 00:10:08.080
 America needs Jesus.

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:09.280
 And as the woman

00:10:09.280 --> 00:10:11.000
 who broke the flask of Spikenard

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.440
 and the room was filled

00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.420
 with the aroma of her sacrifice

00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:17.860
 as she anointed the feet

00:10:17.860 --> 00:10:18.319
 of Jesus.

00:10:18.319 --> 00:10:20.399
 So we need to fill

00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.439
 rooms that we go in

00:10:23.439 --> 00:10:24.819
 with the aroma

00:10:24.819 --> 00:10:26.360
 of our admiration

00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:27.579
 for Christ.

00:10:29.339 --> 00:10:30.479
 Somebody says

00:10:30.479 --> 00:10:31.439
 something's different.

00:10:33.199 --> 00:10:34.379
 Something smells good

00:10:34.379 --> 00:10:34.959
 around here.

00:10:35.599 --> 00:10:35.759
 You know.

00:10:36.539 --> 00:10:38.019
 Something's precious

00:10:38.019 --> 00:10:39.459
 here.

00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:40.919
 It's one thing

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:41.879
 to believe the message

00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:42.759
 and to be thankful for.

00:10:42.839 --> 00:10:43.240
 It's another

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.320
 to love the message.

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:46.080
 To share the message.

00:10:46.259 --> 00:10:47.680
 To trust the message.

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:49.200
 More than friendships.

00:10:50.460 --> 00:10:51.240
 Trust the message.

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:54.000
 Trust the message

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.200
 more than our anticipation

00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:56.180
 of how the conversation

00:10:56.180 --> 00:10:56.740
 is going to go.

00:10:57.500 --> 00:10:58.180
 Trust him.

00:10:58.919 --> 00:10:59.440
 Trust him.

00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.820
 Love the message.

00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:03.659
 And then lastly

00:11:03.659 --> 00:11:04.320
 although I don't want you

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.080
 to get your hopes up.

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.440
 Love our neighbor.

00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:13.120
 That includes the ones

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.500
 that don't act like us.

00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:18.200
 That includes the ones

00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:19.320
 that don't look like us.

00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:22.820
 It's going to get

00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:23.540
 uncomfortable here.

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.540
 That includes the ones

00:11:25.540 --> 00:11:26.820
 that don't think like us.

00:11:29.500 --> 00:11:30.720
 When the lady was caught

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:31.720
 in the act of adultery

00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.180
 she was not alone

00:11:35.180 --> 00:11:37.200
 yet she was the only one

00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:37.800
 that was mentioned.

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:40.259
 And she was dragged out

00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:40.980
 before a bunch of

00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:42.240
 angry old men

00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:43.420
 with rocks in her hands.

00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:44.620
 And Jesus

00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:46.240
 shut the show

00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:47.080
 down

00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:48.120
 when he said

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:48.900
 those who are sinless

00:11:48.900 --> 00:11:49.820
 cast the first stone.

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:51.360
 And you could hear

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.500
 the stones dropping

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:55.900
 as they quietly

00:11:55.900 --> 00:11:56.280
 just

00:11:56.280 --> 00:11:57.980
 soldered away.

00:11:58.820 --> 00:12:00.120
 They dropped their rocks

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:00.879
 and they went home.

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:05.840
 What do you do

00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:08.820
 with those around you

00:12:08.820 --> 00:12:09.799
 who are not Christians?

00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:13.519
 What do you do

00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:14.419
 with those around you

00:12:14.419 --> 00:12:15.200
 who are not living

00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:16.120
 for the Lord?

00:12:17.259 --> 00:12:18.399
 Or who are living

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.000
 and thinking

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:19.980
 in ways contrary

00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:20.600
 to scripture?

00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:22.419
 What do we do?

00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:23.720
 Do we pick up

00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:24.220
 the rocks

00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:25.399
 of judgmental thoughts?

00:12:28.100 --> 00:12:28.940
 Do we pick up

00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:29.340
 the rocks

00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:30.399
 of hurtful words?

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:32.600
 Maybe a little

00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:33.419
 spicy gossip?

00:12:34.419 --> 00:12:34.879
 Now we don't

00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.419
 call it that

00:12:35.419 --> 00:12:35.860
 we call it

00:12:35.860 --> 00:12:36.519
 prayer concerns

00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:37.240
 but it sounds

00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:37.779
 a lot like

00:12:37.779 --> 00:12:38.799
 gossip sometimes.

00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:41.779
 Baptists tend

00:12:41.779 --> 00:12:42.220
 to be like

00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:42.740
 a pack of

00:12:42.740 --> 00:12:43.500
 hunting dogs.

00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:44.019
 When they're

00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:44.320
 hunting

00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:44.820
 they work

00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:45.340
 together

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:46.159
 but when

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:46.600
 they're hanging

00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.139
 out at the

00:12:47.139 --> 00:12:47.480
 house

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.120
 they fight.

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:50.700
 And if all

00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:51.139
 we're worried

00:12:51.139 --> 00:12:51.639
 about is coming

00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:52.000
 together

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:52.399
 and hanging

00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:52.759
 out

00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.480
 we need

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:55.960
 to get busy.

00:12:57.340 --> 00:12:57.899
 We need

00:12:57.899 --> 00:12:58.399
 to get busy.

00:12:58.399 --> 00:12:59.860
 when our

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:00.459
 priorities

00:13:00.459 --> 00:13:00.879
 are seeing

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:01.480
 God work

00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:01.740
 and move

00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:02.100
 not only

00:13:02.100 --> 00:13:02.620
 in our lives

00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:02.959
 but in the

00:13:02.959 --> 00:13:03.519
 lives of those

00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.079
 around us

00:13:04.079 --> 00:13:04.500
 we come

00:13:04.500 --> 00:13:04.720
 with an

00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:05.220
 anticipation

00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:06.139
 of what

00:13:06.139 --> 00:13:06.579
 God's going

00:13:06.579 --> 00:13:06.840
 to do

00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:07.399
 in us

00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:07.840
 not what

00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.199
 God can

00:13:08.199 --> 00:13:08.679
 do for

00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:09.019
 us

00:13:09.019 --> 00:13:09.799
 and that's

00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:10.340
 when things

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:11.100
 get real

00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:11.659
 folks

00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:12.860
 when we're

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:13.319
 excited

00:13:13.319 --> 00:13:14.319
 about what

00:13:14.319 --> 00:13:14.899
 God wants

00:13:14.899 --> 00:13:15.379
 to do

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:16.340
 in us

00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:17.039
 and through

00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:17.539
 us

00:13:17.539 --> 00:13:18.360
 and we can

00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:19.399
 talk about

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:19.840
 all the

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:20.279
 things that

00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:20.799
 are wrong

00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:21.079
 in our

00:13:21.079 --> 00:13:21.539
 country.

00:13:22.059 --> 00:13:22.240
 There's

00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:22.519
 plenty.

00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:23.480
 We can

00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:23.960
 talk about

00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:24.500
 popular

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:25.279
 ideologies

00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:25.659
 that are

00:13:25.659 --> 00:13:26.059
 out there

00:13:26.059 --> 00:13:26.600
 right now

00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:27.379
 or we can

00:13:27.379 --> 00:13:27.819
 pray for

00:13:27.819 --> 00:13:28.319
 our neighbors

00:13:28.319 --> 00:13:28.740
 and we can

00:13:28.740 --> 00:13:29.220
 try to win

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:29.579
 them to

00:13:29.579 --> 00:13:29.899
 Jesus.

00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:30.860
 Let's make

00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:32.100
 his priorities

00:13:32.100 --> 00:13:33.419
 our priorities

00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:34.519
 and admit

00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.059
 that no

00:13:35.059 --> 00:13:36.199
 human ideology

00:13:36.199 --> 00:13:37.220
 no political

00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:37.699
 party

00:13:37.699 --> 00:13:39.019
 no fallible

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:40.079
 sinful human

00:13:40.079 --> 00:13:40.699
 will ever

00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:41.500
 line up

00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:42.159
 in such a

00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:42.899
 way that

00:13:42.899 --> 00:13:43.299
 we put

00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:44.240
 more confidence

00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:44.919
 or get

00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:46.159
 more attention

00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:46.679
 to become

00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:47.600
 more motivated

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:48.340
 or energized

00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:49.620
 by it

00:13:49.620 --> 00:13:50.419
 or them

00:13:50.419 --> 00:13:51.899
 than we do

00:13:51.899 --> 00:13:52.539
 by the

00:13:52.539 --> 00:13:53.039
 Christ

00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:53.899
 who saves

00:13:53.899 --> 00:13:54.740
 and changes

00:13:54.740 --> 00:13:55.360
 lives.

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:56.039
 That's the

00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:56.740
 priority.

00:13:58.079 --> 00:13:58.600
 Nothing wrong

00:13:58.600 --> 00:13:59.079
 to align

00:13:59.079 --> 00:13:59.539
 with those

00:13:59.539 --> 00:13:59.879
 that go

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:00.319
 along with

00:14:00.319 --> 00:14:00.779
 that but

00:14:00.779 --> 00:14:01.120
 I'm just

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.539
 telling you

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:01.980
 many of

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:02.579
 us have

00:14:02.579 --> 00:14:03.139
 our dander

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:03.759
 raged by

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.439
 cultural

00:14:04.439 --> 00:14:05.459
 clashes of

00:14:05.459 --> 00:14:05.879
 our day

00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:06.120
 and if

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:06.419
 we're not

00:14:06.419 --> 00:14:06.879
 careful

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.699
 we'll become

00:14:07.699 --> 00:14:08.399
 so hateful

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:08.779
 about it

00:14:08.779 --> 00:14:09.259
 that we

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:09.720
 won't bother

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:10.100
 winning the

00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:10.399
 world of

00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:10.919
 Christ.

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:13.840
 The most

00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:14.259
 recent

00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:15.039
 conversation

00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.500
 has been

00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:16.960
 about Roe

00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:17.079
 v.

00:14:17.199 --> 00:14:17.340
 Wade

00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:17.659
 and the

00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:18.460
 Dobbs decision

00:14:18.460 --> 00:14:18.860
 by the

00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:19.199
 Supreme

00:14:19.199 --> 00:14:19.579
 Court

00:14:19.579 --> 00:14:20.240
 that put

00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:20.980
 the decision

00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:21.879
 about abortion

00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:22.559
 back in the

00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:23.439
 hands of

00:14:23.439 --> 00:14:24.200
 each state

00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:25.919
 and all

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:26.259
 of that

00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:26.720
 happened

00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:27.539
 amazing as

00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:28.059
 it is

00:14:28.059 --> 00:14:29.039
 when it

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:29.439
 happened

00:14:29.439 --> 00:14:30.000
 all it

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:30.720
 was as I

00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:31.200
 said last

00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:31.720
 week was a

00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:32.460
 constitutional

00:14:32.460 --> 00:14:33.159
 injustice

00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:33.960
 that had been

00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:34.720
 made right

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:35.259
 period.

00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.019
 That's what

00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:36.340
 happened

00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:38.080
 and it has

00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:39.480
 led to a

00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:39.799
 lot of

00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:40.460
 animosity

00:14:40.460 --> 00:14:42.159
 but hopefully

00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:42.620
 a lot of

00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:43.179
 lives are

00:14:43.179 --> 00:14:43.799
 saved by

00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:44.439
 states that

00:14:44.439 --> 00:14:45.179
 stand up for

00:14:45.179 --> 00:14:45.620
 the rights

00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:45.879
 of the

00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:46.360
 unborn.

00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:47.759
 Now

00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.220
 how do we

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:51.059
 respond to

00:14:51.059 --> 00:14:51.500
 that?

00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:53.699
 Well I

00:14:53.699 --> 00:14:54.219
 hope

00:14:54.219 --> 00:14:55.439
 I don't

00:14:55.439 --> 00:14:56.019
 assume but

00:14:56.019 --> 00:14:56.500
 I hope

00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:57.739
 that you're

00:14:57.739 --> 00:14:58.379
 pro-life

00:14:58.379 --> 00:14:59.679
 and that

00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:00.219
 you care

00:15:00.219 --> 00:15:00.599
 about the

00:15:00.599 --> 00:15:01.479
 protection of

00:15:01.479 --> 00:15:02.099
 the unborn

00:15:02.099 --> 00:15:03.879
 because the

00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:04.679
 womb of a

00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:05.239
 mother ought to

00:15:05.239 --> 00:15:05.739
 be the safest

00:15:05.739 --> 00:15:06.379
 place for a

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:07.500
 child but for

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:08.579
 60 million

00:15:08.579 --> 00:15:09.259
 babies in

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:09.939
 America over

00:15:09.939 --> 00:15:10.319
 the last

00:15:10.319 --> 00:15:10.839
 half century

00:15:10.839 --> 00:15:11.659
 it was a

00:15:11.659 --> 00:15:12.719
 trap that

00:15:12.719 --> 00:15:13.419
 led to a

00:15:13.419 --> 00:15:14.000
 horrible

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.279
 death and

00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:15.839
 I'll save

00:15:15.839 --> 00:15:16.139
 you the

00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:16.819
 details of

00:15:16.819 --> 00:15:17.139
 how that

00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:17.479
 all went

00:15:17.479 --> 00:15:17.819
 down.

00:15:17.820 --> 00:15:20.400
 But I

00:15:20.400 --> 00:15:20.840
 will say

00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:22.500
 this if

00:15:22.500 --> 00:15:23.080
 they treated

00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:23.800
 a pet the

00:15:23.800 --> 00:15:24.100
 way they

00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:24.540
 treated the

00:15:24.540 --> 00:15:26.320
 unborn the

00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:26.840
 people that

00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:27.340
 are picketing

00:15:27.340 --> 00:15:27.740
 in the

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:28.780
 streets fighting

00:15:28.780 --> 00:15:29.160
 for the

00:15:29.160 --> 00:15:29.800
 rights to do

00:15:29.800 --> 00:15:30.320
 whatever they

00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:30.920
 want to with

00:15:30.920 --> 00:15:31.940
 the unborn would

00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:32.400
 be in the

00:15:32.400 --> 00:15:33.000
 streets fighting

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:33.600
 for the rights

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.220
 of their pet

00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:36.100
 and I'm a

00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:36.620
 dog lover.

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:39.040
 I got two

00:15:39.040 --> 00:15:40.020
 decent dogs

00:15:40.020 --> 00:15:41.340
 you know

00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:42.620
 one of them's a

00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:43.200
 little ornery

00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:43.680
 one of them's a

00:15:43.680 --> 00:15:44.180
 little young

00:15:44.179 --> 00:15:44.659
 you know

00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:47.079
 but an

00:15:47.079 --> 00:15:47.759
 unborn human

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.479
 baby is much

00:15:48.479 --> 00:15:48.919
 more important

00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:49.219
 than my

00:15:49.219 --> 00:15:49.899
 favorite pets

00:15:49.899 --> 00:15:53.259
 yet we live

00:15:53.259 --> 00:15:53.799
 in a world

00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:55.500
 where people

00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:55.979
 are making

00:15:55.979 --> 00:15:57.279
 absolute fools

00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:57.959
 of themselves

00:15:57.959 --> 00:15:59.359
 to show how

00:15:59.359 --> 00:16:00.120
 important it is

00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:00.819
 that a woman

00:16:00.819 --> 00:16:01.579
 have the right

00:16:01.579 --> 00:16:02.139
 to end her

00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:02.719
 pregnancy.

00:16:03.819 --> 00:16:04.819
 By the way

00:16:04.819 --> 00:16:08.500
 ain't it

00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:09.079
 fascinating

00:16:09.079 --> 00:16:10.339
 that we're not

00:16:10.339 --> 00:16:11.000
 hearing about

00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:11.620
 they them

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:12.159
 pronouns

00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:13.019
 these days

00:16:13.019 --> 00:16:13.379
 we're hearing

00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:13.759
 about she

00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:14.439
 her pronouns

00:16:14.439 --> 00:16:16.259
 I'm not

00:16:16.259 --> 00:16:16.679
 trying to be

00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:17.199
 smart I just

00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:17.500
 want to be

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:19.059
 clear because

00:16:19.059 --> 00:16:19.799
 the devil has

00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:20.159
 a way of

00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:20.879
 twisting stuff

00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.620
 folks be

00:16:22.620 --> 00:16:24.159
 careful he

00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:24.759
 has a way of

00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:25.659
 twisting stuff

00:16:25.659 --> 00:16:28.340
 when Supreme

00:16:28.340 --> 00:16:29.120
 Court Justice

00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:30.019
 Clarence Thomas

00:16:30.019 --> 00:16:31.299
 said that such

00:16:31.299 --> 00:16:32.460
 decisions made

00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:33.240
 by the court

00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:34.240
 like Roe

00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:36.500
 were demonstra

00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:37.939
 demonstrafully

00:16:37.939 --> 00:16:39.179
 in error

00:16:39.179 --> 00:16:40.899
 and needed to

00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:41.919
 be revisited

00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:43.079
 he was

00:16:43.079 --> 00:16:43.799
 cussed

00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:45.139
 he was

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:45.439
 called

00:16:45.439 --> 00:16:46.299
 racial terms

00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:47.139
 by those

00:16:47.139 --> 00:16:47.699
 who spoke

00:16:47.699 --> 00:16:48.279
 out against

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:48.860
 racism

00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:51.120
 responses

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:51.939
 were chaotic

00:16:51.939 --> 00:16:52.979
 they were

00:16:52.979 --> 00:16:53.719
 upside down

00:16:53.719 --> 00:16:54.019
 they were

00:16:54.019 --> 00:16:54.479
 twisted

00:16:54.479 --> 00:16:55.120
 and as

00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:55.740
 twisted as

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.379
 the actions

00:16:56.379 --> 00:16:57.039
 in the streets

00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:57.539
 of protest

00:16:57.539 --> 00:16:59.559
 I saw a

00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:00.120
 friend tweet

00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:00.620
 the other day

00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:01.419
 they're acting

00:17:01.419 --> 00:17:02.259
 animalistic

00:17:02.259 --> 00:17:03.159
 in the streets

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:03.879
 and I said

00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:04.659
 you misspelled

00:17:04.659 --> 00:17:05.180
 demonic

00:17:05.180 --> 00:17:06.579
 because that's

00:17:06.579 --> 00:17:07.139
 what it is

00:17:07.139 --> 00:17:07.420
 friend

00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:08.320
 I don't want

00:17:08.320 --> 00:17:08.519
 you to

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:08.880
 misunderstand

00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:09.580
 me

00:17:09.580 --> 00:17:13.580
 the venom

00:17:13.580 --> 00:17:14.259
 is that

00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:14.820
 of the

00:17:14.820 --> 00:17:15.180
 slippery

00:17:15.180 --> 00:17:15.700
 snake

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:16.480
 in the

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:16.740
 garden

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:17.300
 I promise

00:17:17.300 --> 00:17:17.519
 you

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.600
 I want

00:17:18.600 --> 00:17:18.759
 you to

00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:19.120
 be clear

00:17:19.120 --> 00:17:19.519
 Christian

00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:20.340
 and I want

00:17:20.340 --> 00:17:20.560
 you to

00:17:20.560 --> 00:17:20.860
 hear me

00:17:20.860 --> 00:17:21.200
 today

00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:21.940
 you got to

00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:22.180
 hear the

00:17:22.180 --> 00:17:22.779
 whole message

00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:23.480
 I'm sorry

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:23.840
 but you got

00:17:23.840 --> 00:17:24.140
 to listen

00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:24.640
 to it all

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.660
 Ephesians

00:17:25.660 --> 00:17:26.500
 612 says

00:17:26.500 --> 00:17:27.039
 we don't

00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:27.300
 fight

00:17:27.300 --> 00:17:28.060
 wrestle against

00:17:28.060 --> 00:17:28.620
 flesh and

00:17:28.620 --> 00:17:28.920
 blood

00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:29.580
 but against

00:17:29.580 --> 00:17:30.539
 the rulers

00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:31.060
 against the

00:17:31.060 --> 00:17:31.480
 authorities

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:32.019
 against the

00:17:32.019 --> 00:17:32.880
 cosmic powers

00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.580
 over this

00:17:33.580 --> 00:17:34.300
 present darkness

00:17:34.300 --> 00:17:35.100
 against the

00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:35.840
 spiritual forces

00:17:35.840 --> 00:17:36.240
 of evil

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:36.539
 in the

00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:37.360
 heavenly places

00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:38.639
 our fight

00:17:38.639 --> 00:17:39.119
 is not

00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:39.500
 against

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.339
 people

00:17:40.339 --> 00:17:45.079
 don't forget

00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:45.359
 who the

00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:45.979
 enemy is

00:17:45.979 --> 00:17:47.939
 and if that's

00:17:47.939 --> 00:17:48.539
 your neighbor

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:51.479
 they are

00:17:51.479 --> 00:17:51.959
 your neighbor

00:17:51.959 --> 00:17:52.719
 regardless of

00:17:52.719 --> 00:17:53.319
 their thoughts

00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:54.000
 regardless of

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.639
 their beliefs

00:17:54.639 --> 00:17:55.439
 regardless of

00:17:55.439 --> 00:17:56.099
 their opinions

00:17:56.099 --> 00:17:57.339
 Christ has

00:17:57.339 --> 00:17:57.919
 given us

00:17:57.919 --> 00:17:58.959
 a responsibility

00:17:58.959 --> 00:18:00.759
 to reach

00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:01.240
 them for the

00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:01.479
 Lord

00:18:01.479 --> 00:18:02.299
 Clarence Thomas

00:18:02.299 --> 00:18:02.859
 said this

00:18:02.859 --> 00:18:03.240
 in the midst

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:03.779
 of all that

00:18:03.779 --> 00:18:05.740
 he said

00:18:05.740 --> 00:18:06.319
 you could be

00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:07.019
 in the middle

00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:07.759
 of a hurricane

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.839
 I think

00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:11.379
 they're ready

00:18:11.379 --> 00:18:22.980
 now there

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:23.500
 ain't but too

00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:24.059
 many preachers

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.400
 who can preach

00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:24.819
 that hot

00:18:24.819 --> 00:18:25.139
 you know

00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:33.960
 let's find out

00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:34.380
 what's going

00:18:34.380 --> 00:18:34.680
 on

00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:36.320
 wow

00:18:36.320 --> 00:18:37.060
 that's a

00:18:37.060 --> 00:18:37.380
 first

00:18:37.380 --> 00:18:45.600
 are you picking

00:18:45.600 --> 00:18:46.240
 up with what's

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:46.780
 going on

00:18:46.780 --> 00:18:49.680
 I'm serious

00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:50.560
 are you picking

00:18:50.560 --> 00:18:51.020
 up on what's

00:18:51.020 --> 00:18:51.500
 going on

00:18:51.500 --> 00:18:52.700
 we're in a

00:18:52.700 --> 00:18:52.980
 fight

00:18:52.980 --> 00:18:55.079
 we're in a

00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:55.519
 fight

00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.039
 you stand

00:18:58.039 --> 00:18:58.500
 for truth

00:18:58.500 --> 00:18:59.059
 all of hell

00:18:59.059 --> 00:18:59.339
 will come

00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:00.319
 against you

00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.500
 Clarence Thomas

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:05.039
 said you could

00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:05.339
 be in the

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:05.640
 middle of a

00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:05.960
 hurricane

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:07.359
 or you could

00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:07.700
 be in a

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:08.400
 calm day

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:09.599
 and north

00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:09.960
 is still

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:10.319
 north

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.859
 you could

00:19:11.859 --> 00:19:12.279
 be in a

00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:12.740
 thunderstorm

00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:14.059
 and north

00:19:14.059 --> 00:19:14.420
 is still

00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:14.799
 north

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:16.119
 people can

00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:16.839
 yell at you

00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:17.599
 north is

00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:18.200
 still north

00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:19.380
 it doesn't

00:19:19.380 --> 00:19:20.080
 change

00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:20.860
 fundamental

00:19:20.860 --> 00:19:21.620
 things

00:19:21.620 --> 00:19:22.920
 right

00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:24.319
 is still

00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:24.960
 right

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:26.220
 so don't

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:26.799
 let the

00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:27.519
 truth get

00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:28.180
 lost in

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:28.620
 the midst

00:19:28.620 --> 00:19:29.000
 of the

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:29.500
 chaos

00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:30.519
 however

00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:32.160
 we cannot

00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:32.900
 let it affect

00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:33.420
 our need

00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:33.960
 to reach

00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:34.559
 out to

00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:35.160
 the lost

00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.080
 folks who

00:19:37.080 --> 00:19:37.740
 are mad

00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:38.380
 and raging

00:19:38.380 --> 00:19:39.200
 about abortion

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:40.200
 or any

00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:40.900
 other worldly

00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:41.600
 cause

00:19:41.600 --> 00:19:43.100
 look lost

00:19:43.100 --> 00:19:45.600
 they look

00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:46.360
 without hope

00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.659
 do you know

00:19:48.659 --> 00:19:49.319
 why they look

00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:50.000
 without hope

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.159
 because they

00:19:52.159 --> 00:19:52.479
 are

00:19:52.479 --> 00:19:53.979
 they need

00:19:53.979 --> 00:19:54.359
 Jesus

00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:55.879
 and we

00:19:55.879 --> 00:19:56.559
 should never

00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:57.119
 compromise

00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:57.740
 where we

00:19:57.740 --> 00:19:58.199
 stand

00:19:58.199 --> 00:19:59.019
 we should

00:19:59.019 --> 00:19:59.519
 never

00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:00.939
 be silent

00:20:00.939 --> 00:20:02.299
 but we

00:20:02.299 --> 00:20:03.059
 should also

00:20:03.059 --> 00:20:04.399
 and I want

00:20:04.399 --> 00:20:04.819
 you to hear

00:20:04.819 --> 00:20:05.419
 this just as

00:20:05.419 --> 00:20:05.799
 loud

00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:07.779
 I want

00:20:07.779 --> 00:20:10.539
 we should

00:20:10.539 --> 00:20:11.479
 not be rude

00:20:11.479 --> 00:20:13.119
 we should

00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:13.559
 not be

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:14.059
 abusive

00:20:14.059 --> 00:20:15.279
 we should

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:15.779
 not be

00:20:15.779 --> 00:20:16.700
 dismissive

00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:17.859
 and we

00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:18.420
 should not

00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:19.379
 be without

00:20:19.379 --> 00:20:19.879
 prayer

00:20:19.879 --> 00:20:22.119
 in Ephesians

00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:22.700
 chapter 4

00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:23.379
 Paul tells

00:20:23.379 --> 00:20:23.720
 us that

00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:24.299
 Christ gave

00:20:24.299 --> 00:20:24.680
 us the

00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:25.160
 church

00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:26.039
 and its

00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:26.539
 leadership

00:20:26.539 --> 00:20:27.359
 to equip

00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:27.660
 us

00:20:27.660 --> 00:20:28.359
 to unify

00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:28.920
 us

00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:29.440
 and to

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:29.819
 mature

00:20:29.819 --> 00:20:30.180
 us

00:20:30.180 --> 00:20:30.539
 and he

00:20:30.539 --> 00:20:30.839
 says in

00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:31.440
 verse 14

00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:32.160
 so that

00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:32.519
 we may

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:33.079
 no longer

00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:33.720
 be children

00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:34.139
 tossed

00:20:34.139 --> 00:20:34.579
 to and

00:20:34.579 --> 00:20:34.859
 from

00:20:34.859 --> 00:20:35.619
 by the

00:20:35.619 --> 00:20:36.279
 waves

00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:36.960
 and carried

00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:37.579
 by every

00:20:37.579 --> 00:20:38.180
 wind

00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:40.379
 of doctrine

00:20:40.379 --> 00:20:40.960
 by human

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:41.399
 cunning

00:20:41.399 --> 00:20:42.339
 by craftiness

00:20:42.339 --> 00:20:43.000
 and deceitful

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:43.339
 schemes

00:20:43.339 --> 00:20:43.579
 rather

00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:44.579
 speaking the

00:20:44.579 --> 00:20:45.039
 truth in

00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:45.359
 love

00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:45.699
 we are

00:20:45.699 --> 00:20:46.099
 to grow

00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:46.899
 up in

00:20:46.899 --> 00:20:47.960
 every way

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:49.000
 into him

00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:49.659
 in other

00:20:49.659 --> 00:20:50.119
 words Paul

00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:50.519
 is telling

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:51.059
 us don't

00:20:51.059 --> 00:20:51.460
 get so

00:20:51.460 --> 00:20:52.019
 caught up

00:20:52.019 --> 00:20:52.299
 in the

00:20:52.299 --> 00:20:52.599
 ways of

00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:52.879
 the world

00:20:52.879 --> 00:20:53.659
 not to

00:20:53.659 --> 00:20:54.379
 get won

00:20:54.379 --> 00:20:54.960
 over by

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:55.319
 them

00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:57.439
 but to

00:20:57.439 --> 00:20:57.939
 speak the

00:20:57.939 --> 00:20:58.419
 truth in

00:20:58.419 --> 00:20:58.839
 love

00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.460
 even when

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:00.720
 you don't

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.179
 like them

00:21:01.179 --> 00:21:02.000
 much folks

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.480
 love your

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:04.839
 neighbor

00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.139
 my grandpa

00:21:07.139 --> 00:21:07.659
 used to say

00:21:07.659 --> 00:21:08.039
 about people

00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:08.500
 didn't like

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:08.939
 him kill

00:21:08.939 --> 00:21:09.220
 them with

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:09.639
 kindness

00:21:09.639 --> 00:21:10.899
 kill them

00:21:10.899 --> 00:21:11.419
 with kindness

00:21:11.420 --> 00:21:13.320
 don't spit

00:21:13.320 --> 00:21:13.720
 back

00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:14.220

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:01.980
 the day

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:02.980

 noisy

00:23:05.299 --> 00:23:05.659

00:23:05.660 --> 00:23:05.920
 or a

 clanging

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:06.680
 cymbal

00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:08.720

00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:12.240
 knowledge

00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:12.500
 and if

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:12.740
 I have

00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:13.380
 all faith

00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:13.960
 so as

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.500
 to remove

00:23:14.500 --> 00:23:14.980
 mountains

00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:15.400
 but have

 I deliver

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:21.740
 up my

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:22.000
 body

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:22.200
 to be

00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:22.380
 burned

00:23:23.860 --> 00:23:25.300
 nothing

00:23:25.300 --> 00:23:28.140
 we must

00:23:28.140 --> 00:23:28.960
 not be

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.960
 ungodly

00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:30.779
 toward the

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:31.560
 ungodly

00:23:31.560 --> 00:23:32.740
 or we

00:23:32.740 --> 00:23:33.100
 will be

00:23:33.100 --> 00:23:33.600
 no better

00:23:33.600 --> 00:23:33.960
 than the

 rest of

00:23:34.340 --> 00:23:34.700
 the world

00:23:34.700 --> 00:23:36.420
 and we

00:23:36.420 --> 00:23:37.059
 will miss

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:37.600

00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:38.980
 do

00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:39.700
 and we

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:40.380
 will fail

00:23:40.380 --> 00:23:40.840
 at the

00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:41.620
 that he's

00:23:41.620 --> 00:23:42.319
 given us

00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:43.920
 the greatest

00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:45.059
 thing that

00:23:45.059 --> 00:23:45.559
 we can do

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:46.000
 for this

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:46.600
 church

00:23:46.600 --> 00:23:48.200
 the greatest

00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:49.640
 city

00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:51.059
 the greatest

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:51.539

00:23:51.940 --> 00:23:52.440
 this state

00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:52.720

 has made

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:02.980
 it clear

00:24:02.980 --> 00:24:03.640
 for years

00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:05.380
 that it

00:24:05.380 --> 00:24:06.120
 is technically

00:24:06.120 --> 00:24:07.240
 incorrect to

 call yourself

00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:14.100
 Christian

00:24:14.100 --> 00:24:16.200
 because you

00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:17.000
 made your

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:18.300

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:25.000
 the noun

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.280
 and if you put

00:24:27.280 --> 00:24:28.259
 Christianity in

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:28.780
 the noun

00:24:28.780 --> 00:24:29.440
 position

00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:30.960
 and you put

00:24:35.059 --> 00:24:35.779
 position

00:24:35.779 --> 00:24:37.700
 you have to

00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:38.400
 keep shaping

00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:39.200
 the noun

00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:41.039
 to look like

00:24:43.860 --> 00:24:44.960
 the noun

00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.720
 so if your

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.640
 culture stays

00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:50.539

 or to look

00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:04.439
 Democrat

00:25:04.439 --> 00:25:06.439
 but

00:25:06.439 --> 00:25:09.159

00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:19.119
 by our

00:25:24.259 --> 00:25:24.759
 things

00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:25.779
 because they'll

00:25:25.779 --> 00:25:26.299
 all come up

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:03.160
 Christ

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:04.380
 if you're

00:26:04.380 --> 00:26:04.720
 a Christian

00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:05.079
 today

 the best

00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:07.240
 thing that

 for the

00:26:07.860 --> 00:26:08.279
 Lord Jesus

00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:08.640

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:09.640
 we live

00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:12.960
 is to

00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:13.420
 shine for

00:26:13.420 --> 00:26:13.700
 him

00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:16.819
 to let it

00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:17.220
 show not

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:17.599
 only at

 house

00:26:23.420 --> 00:26:25.740
 at work

00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:31.519
 amazed

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:33.339
 at what the

00:26:33.339 --> 00:26:33.799
 Holy Spirit

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.139
 of God

00:26:34.139 --> 00:26:34.639
 will do

00:26:34.639 --> 00:26:36.460
 to open

00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:37.079
 up doors

00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:38.720
 when we

 in love

00:26:43.379 --> 00:26:45.379
 and allow

00:26:45.379 --> 00:26:45.879
 God

00:26:45.879 --> 00:26:47.539
 to make a

00:26:47.539 --> 00:26:48.019
 difference

00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:49.799
 through us

00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:51.740
 I'm asking

00:26:51.740 --> 00:26:52.319
 you not only

00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:52.839
 to be a

00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:53.180
 Christian

00:26:53.180 --> 00:26:54.519
 not only

00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:54.940
 to be an

00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:55.359
 American

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:56.460
 but to be

00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:56.940
 a Christian

00:26:56.940 --> 00:26:57.480
 American

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.519
 with every

00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:00.039
 head bowed

00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:00.299
 and every

00:27:00.299 --> 00:27:00.960
 eye closed

00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.480
 my greatest

00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:03.220
 burden today

00:27:03.220 --> 00:27:04.460
 is that there

00:27:04.460 --> 00:27:05.119
 may be one

00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:05.500
 here

00:27:05.500 --> 00:27:07.000
 who've never

00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:07.799
 given his

00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:10.039
 Christ

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:12.299
 and if that

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:12.720
 is true

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:13.019
 in your

 I want

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:16.099
 that we're

00:27:16.099 --> 00:27:16.279
 going to

00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:16.700
 stand and

00:27:16.700 --> 00:27:16.920
 we're going

00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:17.220
 to sing

00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:17.680
 in just a

00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:17.920
 moment

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:19.259
 and it

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:19.600
 is your

00:27:19.600 --> 00:27:20.200
 opportunity

00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:21.559
 to come

00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:22.920
 and follow

00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:23.279
 the Lord

00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:24.079
 Christ

00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:27.220
 when you

 happy to

00:27:29.339 --> 00:27:29.779
 make sure

00:27:29.779 --> 00:27:31.079
 that someone

00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:31.640
 shares with

00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:32.039
 you what it

00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:32.720
 means to give

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:33.079
 your heart

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:33.480
 and life

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:33.900
 to the Lord

00:27:33.900 --> 00:27:34.539
 Jesus Christ

00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:35.160
 I encourage

00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:36.400
 you to

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:37.039
 be obedient

00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:38.160
 to follow

00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:38.819
 his will

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:39.779
 and his

 way

00:27:40.140 --> 00:27:42.279
 you just

00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:42.799
 trust him

00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:44.480
 as he speaks

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:44.960
 to your heart

00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:45.279

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:46.279
 trust him

00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:48.119
 sometimes

00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:48.799
 people want

00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:49.160
 to wait

00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:49.779
 until everything

00:27:49.779 --> 00:27:50.579
 gets lined up

00:27:50.579 --> 00:27:51.079
 in their life

00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:51.639
 just right

00:27:51.639 --> 00:27:52.579
 I'm telling

00:27:52.579 --> 00:27:53.240
 you you'll

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:54.059
 wait until

00:27:54.059 --> 00:27:54.660
 you breathe

00:27:54.660 --> 00:27:55.299
 your last

00:27:55.299 --> 00:27:55.619
 if you're

00:27:55.619 --> 00:27:56.039
 waiting for

00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:56.440
 everything to

00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:56.740
 be made

00:27:56.740 --> 00:27:57.099
 right in

00:27:57.099 --> 00:27:57.460
 your life

00:27:57.460 --> 00:27:58.099
 it won't

00:27:58.099 --> 00:27:58.480
 be made

00:27:58.480 --> 00:27:58.879
 right by

00:27:58.879 --> 00:27:59.220
 you

00:27:59.220 --> 00:28:00.119
 it'll only

00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:00.519
 be made

00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:00.920
 right when

00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:01.319
 you surrender

00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:01.940
 to Christ

00:28:01.940 --> 00:28:02.920
 so surrender

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.319
 your life

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:03.700
 to Christ

00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:04.079
 today

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:05.839
 maybe you're

00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:06.180
 here and you

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:06.779
 are a Christian

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:07.440
 but the reality

00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:08.359
 is your life

00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:08.940
 don't reflect

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:09.399
 that

00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:12.000
 you're not

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:12.740
 taking advantage

00:28:12.740 --> 00:28:13.060
 of the

00:28:13.060 --> 00:28:13.620
 opportunity

00:28:13.620 --> 00:28:14.120
 that God

00:28:14.120 --> 00:28:14.500
 has laid

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:15.160
 before you

00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:16.720
 the crowd

00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:17.640
 that influences

00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:18.259
 you

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:19.759
 the neighbors

00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:20.400
 that God

00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:20.920
 has placed

00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:21.620
 before you

00:28:21.620 --> 00:28:22.120
 whether at

00:28:22.120 --> 00:28:22.780
 home or at

00:28:22.780 --> 00:28:23.340
 work or

00:28:23.340 --> 00:28:24.440
 in the places

00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:25.080
 that you go

00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:29.300
 I encourage

00:28:29.300 --> 00:28:29.840
 you today

00:28:29.840 --> 00:28:31.519
 to be obedient

00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:32.019
 and follow the

00:28:32.019 --> 00:28:32.220
 Lord

00:28:32.220 --> 00:28:32.840
 maybe God's

00:28:32.840 --> 00:28:33.160
 leading you

00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:33.560
 to be a part

00:28:33.560 --> 00:28:34.259
 of this church

00:28:34.259 --> 00:28:37.079
 maybe God's

00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:37.460
 leading you

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:38.480
 to join

00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:38.960
 us

00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:41.019
 on this

00:28:41.019 --> 00:28:41.379
 journey

00:28:41.379 --> 00:28:42.379
 I don't

00:28:42.379 --> 00:28:42.720
 know

00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:44.180
 but I

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:44.720
 encourage you

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:45.200
 simply to

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.660
 follow the

00:28:45.660 --> 00:28:46.200
 Lord Jesus

00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:47.460
 and what he'd

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:47.859
 have you to

00:28:47.859 --> 00:28:48.359
 do today

00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:49.299
 trust him

00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:50.839
 trust him

00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:51.819
 let him have

00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:52.119
 his will

00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:52.619
 in his way

00:28:52.619 --> 00:28:53.319
 Lord Jesus

00:28:57.480 --> 00:28:58.960

00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:01.579

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:02.720
 of the chaos

00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:03.740
 of our world

00:29:03.740 --> 00:29:04.620

00:29:09.660 --> 00:29:10.140
