00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.120
 Take your Bibles this morning, go over to Deuteronomy chapter 32, Deuteronomy chapter 32 this morning.

00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:06.120
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:40.399
 American history, we celebrate on the 4th, but July 2nd is actually the day that the resolution passed for our independence.

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:49.299
 July 4th was the day that they gathered to sign the document that had been finalized and put all the little nuances on.

00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:50.420
 You know, it's kind of like we do today.

00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:56.439
 You can agree upon something and then you kind of make sure everything's in order and everything's put where it ought to be.

00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:05.239
 And then they signed it, but it was actually the Lee Resolution that they voted on that our nation, our new nation,

00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:12.640
 broke away in a political separation from the British Empire and the authority of King George III.

00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:22.379
 Now I want you to understand because we live in an age when people try to, I think, take things opposite of where even the founders intended.

00:01:22.379 --> 00:01:30.199
 when we understand what's actually taking place because I want you to understand that they did not take what they did lightly.

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:34.799
 It wasn't something that was just, let's wake up one day and do this.

00:01:35.819 --> 00:01:40.719
 It was something that was long time in the process of coming and developing.

00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:46.939
 And they didn't take it lightly because they knew the ramifications if they failed.

00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:53.140
 You know, sometimes we fail to measure what things are really going to cost.

00:01:54.400 --> 00:02:00.579
 But you know, sometimes even though it may have great cost, it's worth investing.

00:02:01.299 --> 00:02:02.359
 It's worth doing.

00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:08.900
 When you think about when they wrote at the end of the Declaration of Independence, I took time this week to,

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.800
 I spent about three days just reading, catching up on American history and what people in modern day are saying.

00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.539
 And it's one of those things, sometimes it makes your head hurt.

00:02:18.860 --> 00:02:23.680
 You know, how different people want to interpret through their lens the dynamic of what takes place.

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:25.780
 To both extremes.

00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:27.759
 But it said this, it says,

00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:34.900
 And for the support of this declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence.

00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:38.219
 Now I want you to understand that the word divine is important.

00:02:39.259 --> 00:02:46.219
 Because they were saying we're going to rely upon what God would choose to allow to take place.

00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.420
 And they were so firm about that.

00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:49.259
 Notice what it said.

00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:58.259
 We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

00:02:59.799 --> 00:03:04.599
 I want you to understand, when they signed that, it was not something they did lightly.

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.439
 They understood that not only were they going to be judged of men,

00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:16.680
 but I want you to understand by the very phrasing and what they did on their sacred honor was a religious statement.

00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:27.599
 It was an honoring statement to the Lord to say they understood that they were going to be judged also by God for the choices they made that day.

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.520
 They were going to be held to account.

00:03:30.740 --> 00:03:33.540
 Because I want you all to remember one very important thing.

00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:38.360
 Sometimes we think about consequences in a negative sense,

00:03:38.420 --> 00:03:41.240
 but you realize every decision you make in life has consequences.

00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:47.200
 Sometimes they're positive consequences, and sometimes they're negative consequences,

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:54.700
 depending upon all the factors involved, including the intent of your heart before God.

00:03:55.020 --> 00:03:57.340
 And we're going to find out here this morning.

00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:03.860
 But I want you to be clear here, because as we gather, we need to be careful that we don't gather to worship a nation.

00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:08.879
 I want you to understand we don't gather to worship a nation that these men founded,

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.639
 but the God they trusted in and founded upon.

00:04:14.299 --> 00:04:16.519
 His principles and His truth.

00:04:17.159 --> 00:04:20.540
 Because our worship belongs to the Lord and to none other.

00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.639
 Now I want you to understand, if you honor the Lord,

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.659
 God tells us we ought to do those things properly,

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.579
 to pray for those in authority, to do those things of our nations.

00:04:30.740 --> 00:04:33.519
 God is the maker and founder of nations.

00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.799
 We have to keep all the scripture in context,

00:04:37.939 --> 00:04:42.479
 but one of the most important things is to understand who God is,

00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:48.019
 and that God is the one that we need to look to and to trust.

00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:50.799
 Because my trust is not in a nation.

00:04:51.939 --> 00:04:54.219
 When you look at history, nations come and go.

00:04:54.799 --> 00:04:57.859
 But my Savior stands sure.

00:04:58.359 --> 00:04:59.339
 He has not changed.

00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.039
 My God has not changed.

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.460
 He stands for sure.

00:05:04.939 --> 00:05:08.540
 When we understand that when they wrote the declaration,

00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:10.480
 another line in there was this.

00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:14.340
 It says they were appealing to the supreme judge of the world

00:05:14.340 --> 00:05:17.640
 for the rectitude of our intentions.

00:05:18.180 --> 00:05:18.439
 You know what?

00:05:18.460 --> 00:05:21.280
 They understood that what they were doing had consequences.

00:05:23.020 --> 00:05:28.160
 And they understood not only were they going to have physical consequences if they lost,

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:34.180
 they understood that the choices they made that day could have eternal consequences.

00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:38.720
 It could have accountability to God for the choices that they made.

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.020
 They would give account to their creator for the course that they set that day.

00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.360
 You know, the same is true today.

00:05:46.660 --> 00:05:50.440
 We'll give account for our thoughts and actions that we do today.

00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.379
 How we treat and process through these things,

00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:55.719
 we will one day give account.

00:05:56.699 --> 00:05:59.100
 And when we look and understand that,

00:05:59.180 --> 00:06:01.779
 we find that in Deuteronomy chapter 32,

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.879
 God brought me to this passage this week,

00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:06.779
 because I think it's important,

00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:08.600
 because Deuteronomy 32,

00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.040
 we find Moses getting ready to leave the scene.

00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:15.180
 And he charges the people

00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:20.580
 that are about to go into the land to form a new nation.

00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:25.040
 And he gives them some principles,

00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:26.980
 because I want you to understand,

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.600
 America is not Israel.

00:06:29.020 --> 00:06:30.600
 We didn't replace anything.

00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.120
 But I want you to understand,

00:06:34.260 --> 00:06:37.460
 God's principles always stand firm.

00:06:37.459 --> 00:06:40.959
 No matter where it is or what you're doing,

00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:42.779
 God's principles are unmovable.

00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:45.219
 And we're going to see some principles

00:06:45.219 --> 00:06:47.620
 that Moses gave to the people,

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:48.739
 some reminders,

00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.779
 some focus to keep in account,

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.219
 to understand what is critical.

00:06:54.379 --> 00:06:57.019
 So if you found Deuteronomy chapter 32 this morning,

00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.919
 let's stand together for the reading of the word of God.

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.740
 And we're just going to read a couple of verses here

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:05.620
 as we get started into this passage here this morning.

00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:07.720
 And as we look down at verse 3,

00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:09.420
 the Bible tells us this.

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:09.740
 It says,

00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:13.540
 because I will publish the name of the Lord,

00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:17.620
 ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

00:07:18.579 --> 00:07:19.939
 He is the rock.

00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:22.540
 His work is perfect.

00:07:23.220 --> 00:07:25.360
 For all His ways are judgment.

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.860
 A God of truth and without iniquity,

00:07:29.900 --> 00:07:32.960
 just and right is He.

00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:34.319
 Let's pray.

00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:34.979
 Heavenly Father,

00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.180
 as we just come before you this morning,

00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:37.439
 Lord,

00:07:37.479 --> 00:07:43.099
 as we consider this challenge of Moses to the people

00:07:43.099 --> 00:07:46.719
 as they were on the cusp of going into the land

00:07:46.719 --> 00:07:50.240
 to form a nation that you had set them

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.639
 and separated them to accomplish,

00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:53.060
 Lord,

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.699
 but help us to see the principles

00:07:54.699 --> 00:07:57.299
 that Moses challenged them with,

00:07:57.339 --> 00:07:58.959
 the focus and the understanding

00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.599
 as they walk through not only the first generation,

00:08:02.739 --> 00:08:04.359
 but for generations to come.

00:08:05.019 --> 00:08:05.459
 Lord,

00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.859
 as we just consider these things today,

00:08:07.979 --> 00:08:08.159
 Lord,

00:08:08.219 --> 00:08:10.459
 we just thank you for our nation,

00:08:10.579 --> 00:08:10.839
 but Lord,

00:08:10.899 --> 00:08:12.079
 help us to never lose sight

00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:13.740
 that the ultimate one is you.

00:08:14.659 --> 00:08:17.139
 You are the one that's over all these things.

00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:18.199
 Lord,

00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:19.199
 you are our rock,

00:08:20.039 --> 00:08:22.319
 the one we can always rely on.

00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:23.699
 Lord,

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.099
 help us to keep our focus

00:08:25.099 --> 00:08:27.379
 in the direction that it ought to be

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:29.139
 to keep things in the right priority

00:08:29.139 --> 00:08:30.120
 in the right place.

00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:31.199
 And Lord,

00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:32.519
 we just love you and thank you.

00:08:32.580 --> 00:08:33.480
 In Jesus' name.

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:34.700
 Amen.

00:08:35.019 --> 00:08:35.500
 May be seated.

00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:37.240
 You know,

00:08:37.299 --> 00:08:38.340
 I want you to see here,

00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:38.860
 Moses,

00:08:39.059 --> 00:08:41.779
 as he opens his charge to the people,

00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:44.000
 spoke with the authority

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:48.000
 and he declared the greatness of our God.

00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:48.879
 You know,

00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.480
 no matter where we are,

00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:51.000
 what we do,

00:08:51.059 --> 00:08:52.460
 we always need to keep in mind

00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:53.980
 the greatness of our God.

00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:56.399
 Because when you'd understand

00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.360
 how great God is,

00:08:58.500 --> 00:08:59.899
 it keeps you focused

00:08:59.899 --> 00:09:00.579
 and looking

00:09:00.579 --> 00:09:01.279
 and attentive

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:02.340
 to the right things.

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:04.299
 When you lose sight

00:09:04.299 --> 00:09:05.279
 of who God is,

00:09:05.319 --> 00:09:06.600
 it's easy to get distracted.

00:09:07.459 --> 00:09:08.879
 Because there's a lot of things

00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:09.819
 to draw your attention.

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.579
 There's a lot of things

00:09:11.579 --> 00:09:13.980
 that are not necessarily bad.

00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.159
 Some of them may even be good,

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:19.620
 but if they're out of priority,

00:09:19.779 --> 00:09:21.000
 they become a wrong thing.

00:09:22.460 --> 00:09:23.779
 We need to understand

00:09:23.779 --> 00:09:25.319
 that the priority given

00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:26.020
 is important.

00:09:26.140 --> 00:09:27.840
 Now notice that Moses here

00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.580
 understood

00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:31.040
 and he wanted the people

00:09:31.040 --> 00:09:32.060
 to have a focus

00:09:32.060 --> 00:09:33.180
 upon the greatness

00:09:33.180 --> 00:09:34.860
 of God.

00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:36.420
 You'll notice here,

00:09:36.760 --> 00:09:37.640
 as we see here,

00:09:37.700 --> 00:09:39.020
 look up in the verse one

00:09:39.020 --> 00:09:39.820
 of this chapter.

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:41.040
 It says this,

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:41.980
 Give ear,

00:09:42.460 --> 00:09:43.320
 O ye heavens,

00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:44.600
 and I will speak,

00:09:45.060 --> 00:09:46.240
 and hear, O earth,

00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:47.620
 the words of my mouth.

00:09:48.140 --> 00:09:49.740
 My doctrine shall drop

00:09:49.740 --> 00:09:50.720
 as the rain,

00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:52.140
 my speech shall distill

00:09:52.140 --> 00:09:52.840
 as the dew,

00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.460
 as the small rain

00:09:54.460 --> 00:09:55.620
 upon the tender herb,

00:09:55.860 --> 00:09:56.860
 and as the showers

00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:58.340
 upon the grass.

00:09:58.560 --> 00:09:59.320
 Now notice,

00:09:59.420 --> 00:09:59.759
 he says,

00:09:59.820 --> 00:10:01.600
 All creation should listen.

00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:02.800
 O ye heavens,

00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:03.519
 O earth.

00:10:03.780 --> 00:10:04.200
 In other words,

00:10:04.280 --> 00:10:04.860
 Moses said,

00:10:04.920 --> 00:10:05.460
 These are things

00:10:05.460 --> 00:10:07.720
 that apply all the time.

00:10:08.780 --> 00:10:09.820
 These are principles

00:10:09.820 --> 00:10:11.040
 for eternity,

00:10:11.560 --> 00:10:12.660
 for a people

00:10:12.660 --> 00:10:13.740
 to understand

00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:14.540
 that personally

00:10:14.540 --> 00:10:15.500
 you need to know

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:16.860
 who God is.

00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:17.780
 Because I want you

00:10:17.780 --> 00:10:18.360
 to understand,

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.480
 we don't have a God

00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:20.080
 of our nation,

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:20.879
 we have a God

00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:21.960
 of individuals.

00:10:23.300 --> 00:10:24.500
 He's not concerned

00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:25.660
 so much about nations

00:10:25.660 --> 00:10:26.700
 as he is people.

00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:30.400
 Jesus didn't come

00:10:30.400 --> 00:10:31.620
 to die for a nation.

00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:34.520
 He came to die

00:10:34.520 --> 00:10:36.060
 for you

00:10:36.060 --> 00:10:37.120
 and for me.

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:40.280
 When we understand

00:10:40.280 --> 00:10:41.440
 what the purpose is

00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:42.560
 and what took place,

00:10:43.100 --> 00:10:44.560
 Moses here was publishing,

00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:45.800
 he was proclaiming

00:10:45.800 --> 00:10:47.560
 the name of the Lord.

00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:48.720
 He wanted to give glory

00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:49.400
 to God.

00:10:50.079 --> 00:10:50.299
 You know,

00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:51.100
 above all,

00:10:51.179 --> 00:10:51.639
 that ought to be

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.500
 our priority.

00:10:53.079 --> 00:10:53.980
 To understand

00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:55.699
 that God deserves

00:10:55.699 --> 00:10:56.579
 the glory.

00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:56.899
 You know,

00:10:57.019 --> 00:10:58.860
 Psalm 96 in verse 8,

00:10:59.259 --> 00:11:00.039
 the word of God

00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:00.759
 tells us this,

00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:01.620
 Give unto the Lord

00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:02.500
 the glory

00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:04.980
 due his name.

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.139
 Give unto him

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:09.360
 the glory

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.439
 due his name.

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:13.939
 You know,

00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:15.019
 and when we give him glory,

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.600
 I just want you

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.100
 to notice something,

00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:16.860
 there's some actions

00:11:16.860 --> 00:11:17.639
 that come with it.

00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.939
 that reveal that

00:11:19.939 --> 00:11:20.879
 because it's not

00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.019
 just words.

00:11:23.419 --> 00:11:23.659
 You know,

00:11:23.699 --> 00:11:24.759
 one of the things today

00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.039
 that I think gets confusing

00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:26.620
 for people,

00:11:27.779 --> 00:11:29.319
 they think if they voice

00:11:29.319 --> 00:11:29.840
 something,

00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:30.939
 it's worshiping God.

00:11:31.139 --> 00:11:31.919
 Worshiping God

00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:33.139
 in voice is part.

00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:36.740
 God wants your heart

00:11:36.740 --> 00:11:37.559
 and direction

00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:38.480
 of your thoughts

00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:39.299
 and your minds.

00:11:40.019 --> 00:11:41.139
 When you understand

00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:42.000
 that worship

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.200
 isn't words,

00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.700
 worship is action

00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:49.080
 and priority.

00:11:49.820 --> 00:11:50.360
 To say,

00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:50.840
 God,

00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:52.820
 you are the priority.

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.060
 That is worship

00:11:54.060 --> 00:11:55.400
 to the Lord.

00:11:55.920 --> 00:11:56.160
 You know,

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.080
 when we understand

00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:59.420
 this thing about

00:11:59.420 --> 00:12:01.259
 the Lord is first

00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:02.400
 in those things.

00:12:02.800 --> 00:12:03.080
 You know,

00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:03.920
 as our nation

00:12:03.920 --> 00:12:05.080
 was being founded,

00:12:05.520 --> 00:12:06.320
 one of the things

00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:07.080
 that's distinct

00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:08.259
 about our founders

00:12:08.259 --> 00:12:09.879
 is they were not afraid

00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:10.660
 to give glory

00:12:10.660 --> 00:12:11.440
 to God.

00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.720
 They were not afraid

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.680
 of those things.

00:12:15.500 --> 00:12:15.720
 You know,

00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:16.540
 you think about

00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:17.440
 even the declaration

00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:18.680
 that we talked about.

00:12:18.920 --> 00:12:20.320
 Think about that famous line

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:21.200
 that all men

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:22.140
 are created equal,

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:23.640
 that they are endowed

00:12:23.640 --> 00:12:24.540
 by their creator

00:12:24.540 --> 00:12:25.900
 with certain inalienable rights

00:12:25.900 --> 00:12:26.600
 and among these

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:27.640
 are life and liberty

00:12:27.640 --> 00:12:28.740
 and pursuit of happiness

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:30.080
 that to secure

00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:30.740
 these rights,

00:12:30.900 --> 00:12:32.140
 governments are instituted

00:12:32.140 --> 00:12:32.860
 among men.

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:33.440
 You know,

00:12:33.460 --> 00:12:34.440
 when you break that down

00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:34.960
 biblically,

00:12:35.060 --> 00:12:35.820
 you'll find that

00:12:35.820 --> 00:12:37.380
 they had a biblical thought.

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:40.740
 They had a biblical

00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:41.740
 understanding,

00:12:42.299 --> 00:12:43.399
 knowing that God

00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:44.840
 established government.

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:46.200
 You know,

00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:47.039
 throughout Scripture

00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:48.240
 you know and realize

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:48.960
 that God

00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.620
 is the maker of nations

00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:51.460
 and He's the one

00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:52.659
 that takes down nations.

00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:55.659
 Nations will come and go.

00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:56.600
 God will one day

00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:57.840
 judge the nations.

00:12:58.419 --> 00:12:59.220
 But you know what?

00:12:59.419 --> 00:13:00.759
 The judgment of the nations

00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:01.879
 is in this life.

00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:03.060
 I want you to understand

00:13:03.060 --> 00:13:04.100
 one day as an individual

00:13:04.100 --> 00:13:04.799
 you're going to stand

00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:05.440
 before the Lord

00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.080
 and give account.

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:07.720
 When we understand

00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:09.399
 the life that's given to us,

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.840
 that's Genesis chapter 1.

00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:11.899
 You know,

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:13.600
 endowed by our Creator.

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:16.759
 The one who started

00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:17.480
 all this.

00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:18.459
 The one who is

00:13:18.459 --> 00:13:19.799
 the author of liberty.

00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:21.559
 The one that provides

00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:23.059
 joy and contentment

00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:24.819
 and the fruit of our labors.

00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:25.379
 He's the one

00:13:25.379 --> 00:13:26.459
 that blesses us.

00:13:27.199 --> 00:13:27.379
 You know,

00:13:27.459 --> 00:13:29.399
 Psalm 119 verse 45

00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:29.860
 says,

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.319
 I will walk at liberty

00:13:31.319 --> 00:13:33.399
 for I seek thy precepts.

00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:35.179
 You know,

00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:36.860
 liberty is not found

00:13:36.860 --> 00:13:37.639
 in government.

00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:38.819
 Liberty is found

00:13:38.819 --> 00:13:39.539
 in Christ.

00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:42.659
 That we might pursue it.

00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:43.840
 That we might obtain it.

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.259
 That we might have it.

00:13:45.299 --> 00:13:46.179
 It's not built

00:13:46.179 --> 00:13:47.360
 upon a nation.

00:13:47.500 --> 00:13:47.799
 You know what

00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:48.759
 our founders thought?

00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:49.419
 They said,

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.279
 we need a nation

00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:51.340
 where people can be

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:52.059
 at liberty

00:13:52.059 --> 00:13:53.980
 to love God.

00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:57.019
 And they understood

00:13:57.019 --> 00:13:58.039
 that principle.

00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.120
 Notice what it tells us here.

00:14:00.179 --> 00:14:01.480
 Look back at verse 4.

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:03.960
 As Moses describes God,

00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:05.080
 he says this.

00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:05.900
 He calls God,

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.720
 he is the rock.

00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:11.139
 Not a rock.

00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:14.620
 He is the rock.

00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:18.139
 Look over to Psalm 95.

00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:21.720
 Psalm 95 in verse 1 says,

00:14:21.820 --> 00:14:22.240
 O come,

00:14:22.340 --> 00:14:23.560
 let us sing unto the Lord.

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:26.060
 Let's make a joyful noise

00:14:26.060 --> 00:14:26.580
 to what?

00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:29.660
 The rock of our salvation.

00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:33.240
 Jesus is the author

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:34.079
 and finisher

00:14:34.079 --> 00:14:34.899
 of our faith.

00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:36.679
 He is the rock

00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:37.699
 of our salvation.

00:14:38.199 --> 00:14:39.079
 He is the one

00:14:39.079 --> 00:14:40.059
 that is there.

00:14:40.199 --> 00:14:40.339
 You know,

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.000
 1 Corinthians chapter 10,

00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:43.579
 the apostle Paul

00:14:43.579 --> 00:14:44.740
 reminded the church

00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:45.379
 at Corinth

00:14:45.379 --> 00:14:46.259
 and he says,

00:14:46.339 --> 00:14:47.159
 and did all drink

00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:48.459
 the same spiritual drink?

00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:49.439
 For they drank

00:14:49.439 --> 00:14:50.779
 of that spiritual rock

00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:51.659
 that followed them

00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:53.039
 and that rock

00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.919
 was Christ.

00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.059
 I want you to understand

00:14:58.059 --> 00:14:59.059
 the same one

00:14:59.059 --> 00:15:00.379
 who brought Israel

00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:01.240
 out of Egypt

00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:02.919
 and set them free

00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:04.219
 is a picture

00:15:04.219 --> 00:15:05.439
 of the rock

00:15:05.439 --> 00:15:06.819
 who came and died

00:15:06.819 --> 00:15:07.519
 on the cross

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:08.199
 for our sin

00:15:08.199 --> 00:15:09.319
 that we might be free.

00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:11.740
 To understand

00:15:11.740 --> 00:15:12.639
 that picture

00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:14.019
 is important.

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:15.599
 And we notice here

00:15:15.599 --> 00:15:16.740
 his description

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:17.699
 because oftentimes

00:15:17.699 --> 00:15:18.919
 I think we lose sight

00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:19.379
 of this.

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.939
 It says his work

00:15:20.939 --> 00:15:22.019
 is perfect.

00:15:22.019 --> 00:15:24.980
 In other words,

00:15:25.059 --> 00:15:26.059
 what God does

00:15:26.059 --> 00:15:27.360
 and what God allows

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.340
 is morally right

00:15:29.340 --> 00:15:30.620
 and never wrong.

00:15:31.019 --> 00:15:31.199
 You know,

00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:32.100
 sometimes people

00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:32.939
 get the idea

00:15:32.939 --> 00:15:33.299
 that, well,

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:33.960
 why did God

00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:34.860
 allow this to happen

00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:35.340
 to me?

00:15:36.819 --> 00:15:37.699
 And they start

00:15:37.699 --> 00:15:38.779
 accusing God.

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:40.679
 We're going to look

00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:41.439
 at that in a little bit

00:15:41.439 --> 00:15:42.539
 because Moses addresses

00:15:42.539 --> 00:15:43.519
 that those who want

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.659
 to judge God.

00:15:45.059 --> 00:15:45.919
 I want you to understand

00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:47.039
 it rains on the just

00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:48.079
 and unjust alike.

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:50.519
 Sin and its effect

00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:51.939
 is affecting everybody.

00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:54.220
 Whether you're saved

00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:54.819
 or lost,

00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:55.699
 there's some effects

00:15:55.699 --> 00:15:56.879
 of sin that come

00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.059
 in this present life.

00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.100
 There's things

00:15:59.100 --> 00:16:00.259
 that we cannot control.

00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:03.679
 Things that God allows.

00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:05.639
 And we can't say,

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:05.980
 God,

00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:07.000
 you were evil

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.279
 for allowing this.

00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:09.460
 I want you to understand

00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:11.179
 his work is perfect.

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:12.860
 All his ways

00:16:12.860 --> 00:16:13.759
 are judgment.

00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:14.879
 In other words,

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:16.159
 the mode of action

00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:17.000
 and the verdict

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:17.659
 or sentence

00:16:17.659 --> 00:16:18.639
 of those things

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:20.519
 is perfectly true.

00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:21.779
 He's the God

00:16:21.779 --> 00:16:22.360
 of truth

00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:23.460
 and without iniquity.

00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:25.720
 He acts

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.340
 in moral fidelity,

00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:29.779
 never in unrighteousness

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:30.740
 or unjustly.

00:16:31.899 --> 00:16:33.199
 I want you to understand

00:16:33.199 --> 00:16:33.759
 the God

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.340
 that Moses

00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:35.860
 tells us to look to

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:37.120
 is right

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:38.139
 in everything.

00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:39.340
 And here in a little bit

00:16:39.340 --> 00:16:39.799
 we're going to see

00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:41.600
 Moses warns the people,

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.500
 don't look back

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:42.960
 at God

00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:43.240
 and say,

00:16:43.319 --> 00:16:43.539
 God,

00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:44.600
 we're going to hold

00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:45.399
 you to account.

00:16:47.620 --> 00:16:48.440
 You know what?

00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:49.500
 What we face

00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:50.100
 in this life

00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:51.120
 is the consequences

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:51.820
 of sin.

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:53.440
 A fallen world

00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.580
 has fallen world problems.

00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:58.460
 The good news is

00:16:58.460 --> 00:16:59.100
 one day

00:16:59.100 --> 00:17:01.000
 all this will be gone.

00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:03.440
 If your hope

00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:04.420
 is in Christ,

00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:05.519
 you don't look

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:06.360
 for this life

00:17:06.360 --> 00:17:06.920
 for everything

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.099
 because we realize

00:17:08.099 --> 00:17:09.880
 this will pass.

00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:12.600
 this life

00:17:12.600 --> 00:17:13.340
 will come and go.

00:17:13.660 --> 00:17:14.720
 When we understand

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:16.260
 this picture,

00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:16.860
 it's important.

00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:18.080
 Now look at verse 5.

00:17:18.520 --> 00:17:18.920
 Notice,

00:17:19.040 --> 00:17:20.360
 he gives a warning here

00:17:20.360 --> 00:17:21.160
 and he says,

00:17:21.300 --> 00:17:22.000
 they have corrupted

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.680
 themselves.

00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:23.820
 Their spot

00:17:23.820 --> 00:17:24.860
 is not the spot

00:17:24.860 --> 00:17:25.540
 of his children.

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:26.880
 They are a perverse

00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:28.140
 and crooked generation.

00:17:28.780 --> 00:17:29.440
 Do ye thus

00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:30.380
 requit the Lord,

00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:31.520
 O foolish people

00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:32.820
 and unwise?

00:17:33.260 --> 00:17:34.000
 Is not he

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:34.660
 thy father

00:17:34.660 --> 00:17:35.760
 that hath brought thee?

00:17:36.540 --> 00:17:36.960
 Excuse me,

00:17:37.020 --> 00:17:37.540
 bought thee?

00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:39.220
 Hath he not made thee

00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:40.740
 and established thee?

00:17:41.539 --> 00:17:41.839
 You know,

00:17:42.059 --> 00:17:42.680
 think about what

00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:43.880
 he's challenging them.

00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:44.299
 He says,

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:45.799
 don't be foolish.

00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:47.900
 Moses here

00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:48.640
 is speaking

00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:50.539
 this to Israel.

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.160
 But our nation,

00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:53.839
 I want you to understand,

00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:54.640
 needs to understand

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:55.640
 that same principle

00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:56.559
 because you know

00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:57.140
 what happens?

00:17:57.299 --> 00:17:59.079
 When God starts blessing,

00:17:59.620 --> 00:18:00.759
 people get thinking

00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:01.600
 that it's them

00:18:01.600 --> 00:18:02.240
 that did it.

00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:05.019
 Look down at verse 15

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:05.819
 in this passage.

00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:07.279
 Verse 15,

00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:08.420
 notice what

00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:10.259
 Moses tells them

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:11.060
 and he says,

00:18:11.259 --> 00:18:13.300
 but Jershom waxed fat,

00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:14.220
 that's Israel,

00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:15.700
 and kicked.

00:18:16.340 --> 00:18:17.900
 Thou art waxen fat,

00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:19.160
 thou art growing thick,

00:18:19.580 --> 00:18:20.340
 thou art covered

00:18:20.340 --> 00:18:21.200
 with fatness.

00:18:21.820 --> 00:18:23.519
 When he forsook God,

00:18:23.600 --> 00:18:24.440
 which made him

00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:25.600
 and lightly esteemed

00:18:25.600 --> 00:18:26.259
 the rock

00:18:26.259 --> 00:18:27.240
 of his salvation.

00:18:28.580 --> 00:18:30.180
 And they provoked him

00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:30.920
 to jealousy

00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:32.800
 with strange gods,

00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:33.980
 with abominations,

00:18:34.100 --> 00:18:35.259
 provoked they him

00:18:35.259 --> 00:18:37.299
 to anger.

00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:39.099
 They sacrificed

00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:40.119
 unto devils,

00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:41.579
 not to God,

00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:42.640
 to gods whom

00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:43.440
 they knew not,

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:44.619
 to new gods

00:18:44.619 --> 00:18:45.839
 that came newly up,

00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:47.059
 whom our fathers

00:18:47.059 --> 00:18:47.819
 feared not.

00:18:48.099 --> 00:18:48.980
 Of the rock

00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:49.920
 that begat thee,

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:51.460
 thou art unmindful,

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.680
 and hath forgotten

00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:53.339
 God

00:18:53.339 --> 00:18:55.039
 that formed

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.140
 thee.

00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:58.339
 Now,

00:18:58.420 --> 00:18:59.559
 I want you to understand,

00:18:59.740 --> 00:19:00.339
 this is a very

00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:01.259
 important principle.

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:03.819
 Because the word

00:19:03.819 --> 00:19:05.359
 fat there means blessed,

00:19:05.639 --> 00:19:07.000
 which is kind of ironic

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:07.720
 when you think

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.399
 about America.

00:19:09.939 --> 00:19:10.259
 You know,

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.439
 one thing that I've

00:19:11.439 --> 00:19:12.319
 observed as I've

00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:13.159
 traveled the world,

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:16.299
 in most of the rest

00:19:16.299 --> 00:19:16.799
 of the world,

00:19:16.899 --> 00:19:17.459
 the fat people

00:19:17.459 --> 00:19:18.199
 are the rich people.

00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:21.619
 America is the only

00:19:21.619 --> 00:19:22.659
 place you'll find

00:19:22.659 --> 00:19:24.359
 fat poor people

00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:25.939
 and skinny rich people.

00:19:26.500 --> 00:19:27.459
 Generally speaking,

00:19:27.579 --> 00:19:28.599
 when you travel the world,

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:29.579
 if you see somebody

00:19:29.579 --> 00:19:30.259
 that's fat,

00:19:30.919 --> 00:19:31.939
 means they've got

00:19:31.939 --> 00:19:32.740
 a lot of resources.

00:19:33.939 --> 00:19:34.759
 And they don't have

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:35.539
 to labor hard,

00:19:35.619 --> 00:19:36.159
 they don't have

00:19:36.159 --> 00:19:37.419
 to do a lot.

00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:38.619
 And people look

00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:38.919
 and say,

00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:39.119
 well,

00:19:39.139 --> 00:19:40.199
 America hasn't been

00:19:40.199 --> 00:19:40.480
 blessed.

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:40.960
 I tell you what,

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:42.079
 we're over-blessed.

00:19:42.439 --> 00:19:42.939
 But you know what

00:19:42.939 --> 00:19:43.699
 happens when we get

00:19:43.699 --> 00:19:44.159
 blessed?

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:45.419
 We forget our God.

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:46.879
 It's easy when

00:19:46.879 --> 00:19:47.779
 God's blessings

00:19:47.779 --> 00:19:48.919
 come to forget

00:19:48.919 --> 00:19:49.779
 who God is.

00:19:51.659 --> 00:19:52.779
 Moses warns

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.179
 the people,

00:19:53.259 --> 00:19:53.639
 and he says,

00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:54.559
 you'll start doing

00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:56.179
 things contrary

00:19:56.179 --> 00:19:58.299
 to what God wants.

00:19:58.819 --> 00:19:58.980
 You know,

00:19:58.980 --> 00:19:59.960
 when we understand

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:00.960
 as a nation,

00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:01.519
 he's pointing

00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:02.480
 to the reality

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.299
 as Proverbs 14

00:20:04.299 --> 00:20:05.019
 tells us,

00:20:05.140 --> 00:20:06.259
 righteousness exalted

00:20:06.259 --> 00:20:06.900
 the nation,

00:20:07.299 --> 00:20:08.779
 but sin is a reproach

00:20:08.779 --> 00:20:09.599
 to any people.

00:20:10.940 --> 00:20:11.200
 You know,

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:12.299
 the natural course

00:20:12.299 --> 00:20:12.920
 of mankind

00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:14.079
 is sin.

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:15.700
 Notice it says

00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:16.500
 they corrupted

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:18.299
 themselves in verse 5.

00:20:20.059 --> 00:20:21.299
 God didn't corrupt

00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:21.440
 them,

00:20:21.500 --> 00:20:22.120
 they corrupted

00:20:22.120 --> 00:20:22.839
 themselves.

00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.419
 You know,

00:20:25.459 --> 00:20:26.919
 sin will corrupt

00:20:26.919 --> 00:20:28.000
 being a perverse

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:28.799
 and crooked

00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:29.980
 generation.

00:20:30.579 --> 00:20:30.699
 You know,

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:31.779
 I want you to see,

00:20:32.059 --> 00:20:33.199
 notice in verse 6,

00:20:34.639 --> 00:20:35.000
 he says,

00:20:35.099 --> 00:20:36.259
 O foolish people

00:20:36.259 --> 00:20:37.419
 and unwise,

00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:38.639
 is not he the

00:20:38.639 --> 00:20:39.599
 father that bought

00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:39.819
 thee?

00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:42.039
 Hath he not made

00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:43.419
 thee and established

00:20:43.419 --> 00:20:43.839
 thee?

00:20:45.179 --> 00:20:46.139
 Here they are,

00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:46.980
 they're forgetting

00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:48.639
 who he is

00:20:48.639 --> 00:20:49.699
 and what he's done.

00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:50.440
 You know,

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:51.080
 they deem

00:20:51.080 --> 00:20:52.680
 the things of God

00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.460
 inappropriate.

00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:54.620
 They say,

00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.059
 God,

00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:56.120
 you've blessed us,

00:20:56.340 --> 00:20:57.259
 but we don't want

00:20:57.259 --> 00:20:58.000
 to have a part

00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.100
 in what you've done.

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:00.460
 We want to do it

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:01.279
 our own way,

00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:02.519
 to do our own thing.

00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:04.460
 Moses reminds the people

00:21:04.460 --> 00:21:05.299
 that the blessings

00:21:05.299 --> 00:21:06.600
 we receive from God

00:21:06.600 --> 00:21:07.960
 can themselves

00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:09.160
 draw us away.

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:10.740
 They are wax and fat.

00:21:11.380 --> 00:21:12.080
 It was then

00:21:12.080 --> 00:21:12.480
 that they

00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:14.920
 and even us

00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:16.220
 can forsake God

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:18.100
 and lightly esteem

00:21:18.100 --> 00:21:18.759
 the rock

00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:19.720
 of his salvation.

00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:22.299
 You know,

00:21:22.379 --> 00:21:23.119
 these verses

00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:24.579
 ought to do more

00:21:24.579 --> 00:21:26.920
 than just inform us.

00:21:28.619 --> 00:21:29.680
 These verses

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.079
 ought to make us grieve.

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:32.599
 It ought to make you sad

00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:33.579
 to see people

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:35.160
 turn away

00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:36.099
 from the God

00:21:36.099 --> 00:21:37.160
 who has done everything.

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:37.779
 You know,

00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:39.099
 as I look at our nation

00:21:39.099 --> 00:21:40.059
 as it's changed

00:21:40.059 --> 00:21:41.059
 through the generations,

00:21:41.779 --> 00:21:42.779
 you'll see a pattern

00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:44.000
 in our nation

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:45.799
 of people

00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.379
 trusting God

00:21:48.380 --> 00:21:49.620
 and then when God

00:21:49.620 --> 00:21:50.760
 begins to bless

00:21:50.760 --> 00:21:51.700
 and they get comfortable,

00:21:52.760 --> 00:21:53.880
 God becomes secondary.

00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:54.920
 And you'll see

00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:56.100
 this curve

00:21:56.100 --> 00:21:57.160
 not only in our nation

00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:58.080
 but throughout history.

00:21:59.540 --> 00:22:00.560
 You see it

00:22:00.560 --> 00:22:01.280
 when you read

00:22:01.280 --> 00:22:01.760
 through the book

00:22:01.760 --> 00:22:02.420
 of Judges.

00:22:03.540 --> 00:22:03.880
 You know,

00:22:03.940 --> 00:22:04.340
 Judges,

00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:05.720
 there's this circle

00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:06.540
 that keeps going.

00:22:07.080 --> 00:22:08.080
 God blesses them.

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:08.800
 They turn away

00:22:08.800 --> 00:22:09.440
 from God.

00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:10.800
 God allows

00:22:10.800 --> 00:22:11.960
 the ramifications,

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:13.060
 the consequences

00:22:13.060 --> 00:22:13.920
 of their choices

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:14.960
 to come into play

00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:16.380
 until they finally

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:18.440
 call upon Him.

00:22:19.660 --> 00:22:20.340
 When they get

00:22:20.340 --> 00:22:21.799
 their focus back right

00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:22.160
 and sometimes

00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:23.740
 it takes a few generations.

00:22:25.579 --> 00:22:25.799
 You know,

00:22:25.840 --> 00:22:26.960
 today it's amazing

00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:27.700
 how people

00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:29.120
 have turned away

00:22:29.120 --> 00:22:30.100
 from the God

00:22:30.100 --> 00:22:31.500
 who our founders

00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:31.900
 said,

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:32.079
 hey,

00:22:32.120 --> 00:22:33.259
 we need to make sure

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:34.120
 He is a focus.

00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:35.559
 He is the one

00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:36.480
 that has established

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:37.220
 our land

00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:38.920
 has been overtaken

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:39.720
 with things.

00:22:40.120 --> 00:22:40.220
 Yeah,

00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:40.840
 I've seen things

00:22:40.840 --> 00:22:42.079
 in the last five years

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.819
 it's like you would

00:22:42.819 --> 00:22:43.440
 never thought

00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.120
 you would have saw.

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:45.400
 Sorcery,

00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:47.720
 witchcraft.

00:22:49.580 --> 00:22:50.539
 Let me just make

00:22:50.539 --> 00:22:50.960
 a statement.

00:22:51.100 --> 00:22:51.980
 The word sorcery

00:22:51.980 --> 00:22:52.500
 comes from the

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:54.019
 Greek word pharma.

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:56.960
 Has to do with drugs.

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:57.600
 Now,

00:22:57.640 --> 00:22:58.600
 I'm not talking about

00:22:58.600 --> 00:22:59.880
 prescription type stuff

00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:00.559
 that might you get

00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:00.759
 for,

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:01.340
 oh,

00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:01.600
 Doc,

00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:02.380
 I got a pain.

00:23:02.860 --> 00:23:03.259
 People,

00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:04.720
 I want you to understand

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:06.620
 they take drugs

00:23:06.620 --> 00:23:08.039
 not to relieve

00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:09.660
 but to try

00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:10.640
 to reach a place

00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:11.440
 called nirvana,

00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:13.400
 a self-consciousness.

00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:13.799
 You know,

00:23:13.840 --> 00:23:14.580
 it is a focus

00:23:14.580 --> 00:23:15.600
 upon self.

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:18.559
 We have the practice

00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:19.360
 of sorcery

00:23:19.360 --> 00:23:20.279
 within our nation

00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:21.039
 is extreme.

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.400
 Say,

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:23.779
 preacher,

00:23:23.900 --> 00:23:24.360
 what do you mean?

00:23:24.580 --> 00:23:25.440
 You can order

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:26.380
 on Etsy

00:23:26.380 --> 00:23:26.900
 a witch

00:23:26.900 --> 00:23:28.019
 to cast a spell.

00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:29.519
 That ought to grieve us

00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:30.759
 that a nation

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.279
 who understood

00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:35.700
 the very liberties

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:37.259
 that they were seeking

00:23:37.259 --> 00:23:38.320
 were from God

00:23:38.320 --> 00:23:39.759
 have forsaken

00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:41.799
 those things

00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:42.720
 to the point

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:44.059
 that they've turned

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:44.940
 and worshipped

00:23:44.940 --> 00:23:45.700
 other gods.

00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:48.579
 Worship things

00:23:48.579 --> 00:23:49.279
 contrary.

00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:50.000
 You know,

00:23:50.059 --> 00:23:51.339
 we see earth worship

00:23:51.339 --> 00:23:51.819
 today.

00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:52.879
 You know,

00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:53.500
 I'll just make

00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:54.159
 a bold statement.

00:23:54.259 --> 00:23:55.279
 The environmental movement

00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:55.779
 in general

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:56.500
 is earth worship.

00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:58.099
 They make this

00:23:58.099 --> 00:24:00.119
 ball of dirt

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:01.019
 their god.

00:24:01.399 --> 00:24:02.440
 They understand

00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:03.799
 the amazement

00:24:04.339 --> 00:24:05.839
 of what this earth

00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:07.019
 is in which we live

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:08.099
 and they forget

00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:09.400
 the one who created it.

00:24:09.879 --> 00:24:11.279
 It ought to make us grieve.

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:14.279
 We have a love

00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:14.920
 of self

00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:15.680
 and pleasure,

00:24:16.139 --> 00:24:17.139
 materialism

00:24:17.139 --> 00:24:17.799
 and the love

00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:18.339
 of money.

00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:19.859
 False religions

00:24:19.859 --> 00:24:20.980
 are overtaking

00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:21.660
 the land.

00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:24.180
 From new age,

00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:26.940
 I'll just give you

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:27.420
 a little warning.

00:24:27.500 --> 00:24:28.259
 You need to be careful

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:29.039
 who you listen to

00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:29.960
 that say they're Christian.

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.059
 There's a lot

00:24:31.059 --> 00:24:32.000
 of new age

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:32.980
 tied into it.

00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:34.160
 You need to be

00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:34.839
 understanding

00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:35.660
 what it is

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:36.579
 they're speaking about

00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:38.279
 because they sound

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:38.960
 biblical

00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:40.000
 but the terms

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.779
 they use

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:41.919
 are new age.

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:43.139
 They are terms

00:24:43.139 --> 00:24:43.799
 that worship

00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:44.539
 and point you

00:24:44.539 --> 00:24:45.539
 to another god.

00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:46.740
 I want you to

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:48.199
 understand the danger

00:24:48.199 --> 00:24:49.220
 of it

00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:50.159
 and we see

00:24:50.159 --> 00:24:51.500
 this spiritism.

00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:51.980
 You know,

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:52.639
 think about today

00:24:52.639 --> 00:24:53.559
 why I'm spiritual

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:54.539
 but not religious.

00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:55.119
 It's like

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:56.119
 that's the most

00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:57.399
 ironic statement

00:24:57.399 --> 00:24:57.919
 you can make.

00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:58.119
 I mean,

00:24:58.179 --> 00:24:58.399
 it's like,

00:24:58.919 --> 00:25:00.019
 I'll say it's a dumb

00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:00.460
 statement.

00:25:02.379 --> 00:25:02.859
 You know,

00:25:02.879 --> 00:25:03.439
 that's like saying

00:25:03.439 --> 00:25:04.159
 I had breakfast

00:25:04.159 --> 00:25:05.059
 but I don't like to eat.

00:25:05.059 --> 00:25:07.019
 We find these things

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:07.859
 in our nation

00:25:07.859 --> 00:25:09.259
 they exalt men

00:25:09.259 --> 00:25:12.240
 and the state

00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:13.099
 above God.

00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:14.480
 I want you to understand

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:15.359
 as believers

00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:16.339
 we have to be careful

00:25:16.339 --> 00:25:19.000
 because we need

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:19.980
 to look at the scripture

00:25:19.980 --> 00:25:21.200
 and filter those things

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:21.799
 through scripture

00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:22.200
 to say

00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:23.000
 God,

00:25:23.139 --> 00:25:24.359
 help me to know

00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:25.619
 exactly how to put

00:25:25.619 --> 00:25:26.220
 these things

00:25:26.220 --> 00:25:27.399
 in the right priority

00:25:27.399 --> 00:25:28.980
 and the right place

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.720
 that Lord,

00:25:29.899 --> 00:25:31.059
 you are never moved

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:32.139
 from being the rock

00:25:32.139 --> 00:25:33.139
 of my salvation.

00:25:33.140 --> 00:25:34.500
 that rock

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:35.280
 is unmovable.

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:38.480
 It never gets usurped

00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:39.580
 by something else.

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:42.080
 You know what?

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:42.700
 Politics

00:25:42.700 --> 00:25:44.060
 can usurp God.

00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:45.580
 Now I want you to understand

00:25:45.580 --> 00:25:47.340
 our political dynamic

00:25:47.340 --> 00:25:48.020
 is important

00:25:48.020 --> 00:25:49.759
 but there's a balance

00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:50.259
 to say

00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:51.100
 I want to make sure

00:25:51.100 --> 00:25:52.100
 this never

00:25:52.100 --> 00:25:54.380
 takes the place

00:25:54.380 --> 00:25:55.100
 of God

00:25:55.100 --> 00:25:55.840
 because you know

00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:55.960
 what?

00:25:55.980 --> 00:25:56.800
 The devil's happy

00:25:56.800 --> 00:25:57.520
 when people

00:25:57.520 --> 00:25:58.580
 especially believers

00:25:58.580 --> 00:26:00.600
 get focused away

00:26:00.600 --> 00:26:01.640
 worshiping something

00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:02.800
 other than the God

00:26:02.800 --> 00:26:03.780
 that saved them.

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:05.240
 When we understand

00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:07.140
 what's happening here

00:26:07.140 --> 00:26:08.460
 it ought to grieve

00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:09.200
 our hearts

00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:10.520
 when we understand

00:26:10.520 --> 00:26:12.020
 this generation

00:26:12.020 --> 00:26:13.460
 has grown up

00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:14.180
 even further

00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:14.900
 from him.

00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:16.380
 We have a generation

00:26:16.380 --> 00:26:17.259
 that does not know

00:26:17.259 --> 00:26:17.880
 the God

00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:18.759
 who made them.

00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:19.700
 Some of them

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:20.480
 might be sitting

00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:21.300
 here today.

00:26:21.620 --> 00:26:21.800
 You know

00:26:21.800 --> 00:26:22.820
 we have a system

00:26:22.820 --> 00:26:24.200
 that's telling our kids

00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:25.300
 all sorts of

00:26:25.300 --> 00:26:26.700
 contradictory information.

00:26:27.340 --> 00:26:27.540
 You know

00:26:27.540 --> 00:26:28.520
 what amazes me

00:26:28.520 --> 00:26:29.320
 in a generation

00:26:29.320 --> 00:26:30.820
 this is a side note

00:26:30.819 --> 00:26:31.240
 I guess.

00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:32.220
 One of the things

00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:33.179
 that grieves my heart

00:26:33.179 --> 00:26:34.220
 is when I have parents

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:34.859
 that you talk to

00:26:34.859 --> 00:26:36.519
 well I'm going to let

00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:37.439
 my kids make their

00:26:37.439 --> 00:26:38.599
 decision about things.

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.319
 You know what

00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:40.539
 I want you to understand

00:26:40.539 --> 00:26:41.439
 something very clearly.

00:26:42.859 --> 00:26:44.079
 God doesn't tell us

00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:45.019
 to allow your kids

00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:46.700
 to make every decision

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.960
 we are to guide them

00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:48.839
 and bring them up

00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:49.379
 in the nurture

00:26:49.379 --> 00:26:50.099
 and admonition

00:26:50.099 --> 00:26:50.679
 of the Lord.

00:26:52.579 --> 00:26:53.980
 That's a responsibility

00:26:53.980 --> 00:26:55.619
 to not let them

00:26:55.619 --> 00:26:56.419
 wander wherever

00:26:56.419 --> 00:26:57.359
 they want to wander.

00:26:58.559 --> 00:26:59.859
 It's to direct them

00:26:59.859 --> 00:27:00.659
 and guide them

00:27:00.659 --> 00:27:01.419
 and let them know

00:27:01.419 --> 00:27:02.240
 there's a God

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:03.819
 that not only loves them

00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:04.579
 it's a God

00:27:04.579 --> 00:27:05.519
 who died for them

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:06.119
 and to know

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:07.199
 why he did.

00:27:08.740 --> 00:27:09.919
 Because your sinful

00:27:09.919 --> 00:27:10.819
 heart is wicked

00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:11.539
 your little kid

00:27:11.539 --> 00:27:12.419
 is not an angel.

00:27:13.579 --> 00:27:14.379
 I've got nine

00:27:14.379 --> 00:27:16.579
 great kids

00:27:16.579 --> 00:27:16.839
 you know

00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:17.899
 nine grandkids

00:27:17.899 --> 00:27:19.559
 they're not great grandkids

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:20.439
 yeah I'm not that old

00:27:20.439 --> 00:27:21.639
 but my grandkids

00:27:21.639 --> 00:27:22.219
 are great.

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.240
 But I want you

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:23.659
 to understand

00:27:23.659 --> 00:27:24.740
 I know one thing

00:27:24.740 --> 00:27:25.579
 they were born

00:27:25.579 --> 00:27:26.500
 with a sin nature

00:27:26.500 --> 00:27:29.140
 and they need

00:27:29.140 --> 00:27:29.880
 to know a Savior

00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.099
 who can save them

00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:34.000
 no different

00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:35.059
 than anybody else's.

00:27:35.220 --> 00:27:36.240
 When we understand

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:36.900
 those things

00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:38.220
 because look here next

00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:39.160
 as we look

00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:39.500
 look down

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:40.400
 at verse 28

00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:43.599
 he declares this

00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:44.779
 as Moses walks through

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:46.200
 he gives God's assessment

00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:47.259
 it says

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:48.400
 for they are a nation

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:49.500
 void of counsel

00:27:49.500 --> 00:27:50.579
 neither is there

00:27:50.579 --> 00:27:51.480
 any understanding

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:52.019
 in them

00:27:52.019 --> 00:27:54.140
 oh that they were wise

00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:55.759
 that they understood this

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.339
 that they would consider

00:27:57.339 --> 00:27:59.259
 their latter end.

00:27:59.619 --> 00:27:59.740
 You know

00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:00.619
 I want you to understand

00:28:00.619 --> 00:28:02.099
 God has not left us

00:28:02.099 --> 00:28:03.079
 to our own opinion

00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:03.980
 about ourselves

00:28:03.980 --> 00:28:05.660
 but the fact is this

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:06.579
 when people turn

00:28:06.579 --> 00:28:07.379
 from God

00:28:07.379 --> 00:28:09.339
 often times

00:28:09.339 --> 00:28:10.500
 the things I hear

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:11.379
 and the things

00:28:11.379 --> 00:28:12.500
 that scripture reveals

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:14.000
 is people start saying

00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.599
 I don't think God

00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:16.680
 made the right choice.

00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:18.500
 I don't think God

00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:20.480
 is who he says he is.

00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:21.839
 They begin to render

00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:23.220
 their own assessment

00:28:23.220 --> 00:28:24.180
 you know what

00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:25.460
 it leaves a nation

00:28:25.460 --> 00:28:27.080
 void of wise counsel

00:28:27.080 --> 00:28:29.860
 lacking the most basic

00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:30.860
 understanding

00:28:30.860 --> 00:28:31.720
 of the things

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:32.360
 of God.

00:28:33.180 --> 00:28:33.420
 You know

00:28:33.420 --> 00:28:34.779
 one of our founding fathers

00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:35.779
 George Washington

00:28:35.779 --> 00:28:39.320
 at his first inaugural address

00:28:39.320 --> 00:28:40.080
 said this

00:28:40.080 --> 00:28:42.680
 he said

00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:44.200
 his fervent supplications

00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:45.640
 to that almighty being

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:47.000
 who rules over the universe

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:47.940
 who presides

00:28:47.940 --> 00:28:48.620
 in the councils

00:28:48.620 --> 00:28:49.320
 of nations

00:28:49.320 --> 00:28:51.560
 and whose providential aids

00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:52.319
 can supply

00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:53.919
 every human

00:28:53.919 --> 00:28:54.960
 defect.

00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:56.019
 You know what

00:28:56.019 --> 00:28:56.859
 we need

00:28:56.859 --> 00:28:58.579
 just as even

00:28:58.579 --> 00:28:59.559
 our founding fathers

00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:00.919
 especially George Washington

00:29:00.919 --> 00:29:02.440
 he understood

00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:03.159
 one thing

00:29:03.159 --> 00:29:03.599
 he said

00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:05.339
 I need

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:06.399
 God's

00:29:06.399 --> 00:29:07.039
 direction.

00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:07.940
 He says

00:29:07.940 --> 00:29:09.079
 I can't lead

00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:10.159
 I can't do

00:29:10.159 --> 00:29:10.980
 what I ought to do

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:11.779
 without God.

00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:14.819
 It's not in my power

00:29:14.819 --> 00:29:15.740
 in my knowledge

00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:16.759
 but in what God

00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:17.319
 has given.

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:19.299
 God gives the assessment

00:29:19.299 --> 00:29:20.819
 of the situation.

00:29:21.399 --> 00:29:22.240
 Notice what it says

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:23.259
 in verse 29

00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:24.519
 it says here

00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:26.039
 that they would consider

00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:27.339
 their latter end

00:29:27.339 --> 00:29:29.599
 they failed to understand

00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:31.180
 that they need to look

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:32.000
 not merely

00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:33.180
 for the immediate

00:29:33.180 --> 00:29:33.859
 benefit

00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:36.779
 but for the long term good.

00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:38.519
 You know

00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:39.180
 one of the problems

00:29:39.180 --> 00:29:40.599
 we have in our nation today

00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:41.779
 especially among politicians

00:29:41.779 --> 00:29:42.579
 I'll just spell out

00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:43.359
 it's a baseline

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:44.859
 they're in it

00:29:44.859 --> 00:29:45.680
 for the immediate

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:47.159
 how does it affect me

00:29:47.159 --> 00:29:48.139
 right now

00:29:48.140 --> 00:29:49.480
 instead of

00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:50.780
 how is it going to affect

00:29:50.780 --> 00:29:52.000
 my children

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:53.300
 and my grandchildren.

00:29:54.020 --> 00:29:54.460
 Leaders

00:29:54.460 --> 00:29:55.400
 don't look

00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:56.240
 for just what's

00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:57.300
 immediate now

00:29:57.300 --> 00:29:57.900
 they look

00:29:57.900 --> 00:29:58.860
 to what they're leaving

00:29:58.860 --> 00:30:00.820
 what is carried forth

00:30:00.820 --> 00:30:03.440
 when we understand

00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:04.740
 that we need to look

00:30:04.740 --> 00:30:06.600
 not just at the immediate

00:30:06.600 --> 00:30:08.080
 but understand

00:30:08.080 --> 00:30:09.360
 their latter end.

00:30:10.500 --> 00:30:11.940
 God has revealed

00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:12.900
 his assessment

00:30:12.900 --> 00:30:13.560
 you know

00:30:13.560 --> 00:30:14.540
 God says this

00:30:14.540 --> 00:30:15.740
 in Jeremiah 17

00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:16.080
 he says

00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:17.379
 the heart is deceitful

00:30:17.379 --> 00:30:18.419
 above all things

00:30:18.419 --> 00:30:20.179
 and desperately wicked

00:30:20.179 --> 00:30:21.179
 who can know it

00:30:21.179 --> 00:30:22.480
 I the Lord

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.500
 search the heart

00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:25.339
 I try the reins

00:30:25.339 --> 00:30:25.879
 you know

00:30:25.879 --> 00:30:26.759
 a wicked heart

00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:27.839
 is one that places

00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:28.299
 God

00:30:28.299 --> 00:30:29.319
 that operates

00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:31.799
 that places themselves

00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:32.740
 of judge

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:33.539
 of right and wrong

00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:34.199
 you know

00:30:34.199 --> 00:30:35.319
 we live in a generation

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:37.679
 that tries to judge God

00:30:37.679 --> 00:30:41.500
 and they miss the reality

00:30:41.500 --> 00:30:42.480
 of their latter end

00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:43.960
 because instead of us

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:44.799
 judging God

00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:45.659
 the Bible says

00:30:45.659 --> 00:30:46.379
 that every knee

00:30:46.379 --> 00:30:46.960
 will bow

00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:49.339
 every tongue

00:30:49.339 --> 00:30:50.059
 confess

00:30:50.059 --> 00:30:52.039
 and there is

00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:52.599
 everybody

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:53.519
 when you stand

00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:54.379
 before God

00:30:54.379 --> 00:30:55.159
 his greatness

00:30:55.159 --> 00:30:56.180
 and his glory

00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:57.599
 his holiness

00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:01.339
 it'll take the most

00:31:01.339 --> 00:31:02.579
 arrogant soul

00:31:02.579 --> 00:31:03.599
 and humble them

00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:04.700
 the question is

00:31:04.700 --> 00:31:05.200
 where are you going

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:05.700
 to be humbled

00:31:05.700 --> 00:31:08.500
 because if you're

00:31:08.500 --> 00:31:09.680
 humbled before God

00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:10.539
 in this life

00:31:10.539 --> 00:31:11.680
 and you recognize

00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:12.680
 you need a Savior

00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:14.000
 and you call upon him

00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:14.960
 God says

00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:15.700
 there's a different

00:31:15.700 --> 00:31:16.320
 accounting

00:31:16.320 --> 00:31:17.900
 than for if you don't

00:31:17.900 --> 00:31:20.779
 when we understand

00:31:20.779 --> 00:31:22.259
 this picture

00:31:22.259 --> 00:31:23.160
 it's important

00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:25.120
 look down in verse 31

00:31:25.120 --> 00:31:26.539
 it says for this

00:31:26.539 --> 00:31:26.840
 it says

00:31:26.840 --> 00:31:27.660
 for their rock

00:31:27.660 --> 00:31:29.360
 is not as our rock

00:31:29.360 --> 00:31:30.340
 even our enemies

00:31:30.340 --> 00:31:30.980
 themselves

00:31:30.980 --> 00:31:31.920
 being judges

00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:33.360
 you know

00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:34.860
 trying to judge God

00:31:34.860 --> 00:31:35.640
 for their vine

00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:36.980
 is the vine of Sodom

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:38.240
 and the fields

00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:38.960
 of Gomorrah

00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:40.000
 their grapes

00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:41.220
 are grapes of gall

00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:42.259
 and their clusters

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:43.240
 are bitter

00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:44.579
 their wine

00:31:44.579 --> 00:31:45.339
 is the poison

00:31:45.339 --> 00:31:46.059
 of dragons

00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:47.620
 and the cruel venom

00:31:47.620 --> 00:31:48.759
 of asps

00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:49.019
 you know

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:50.220
 I want you to understand

00:31:50.220 --> 00:31:51.420
 that everybody's

00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:51.960
 going to found

00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:52.620
 their faith

00:31:52.620 --> 00:31:53.339
 upon a rock

00:31:53.339 --> 00:31:54.400
 it's either going to be

00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:54.940
 a rock

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:56.279
 of their own imagination

00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:58.440
 a little r rock

00:31:58.440 --> 00:31:58.920
 of anything

00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:00.140
 that they can put there

00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:02.759
 but it says

00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:03.559
 their rock

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:04.579
 is not as

00:32:04.579 --> 00:32:06.019
 our rock

00:32:06.019 --> 00:32:09.279
 if your faith

00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:10.200
 is in God

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:11.220
 if your faith

00:32:11.220 --> 00:32:11.879
 is in the Lord

00:32:11.879 --> 00:32:12.700
 Jesus Christ

00:32:12.700 --> 00:32:13.180
 who came

00:32:13.180 --> 00:32:14.000
 and saved you

00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:16.660
 the moment

00:32:16.660 --> 00:32:17.319
 you called

00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:18.119
 upon him

00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:19.579
 you became

00:32:19.579 --> 00:32:20.759
 part of his family

00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:22.940
 when you understand

00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:24.379
 our latter end

00:32:24.379 --> 00:32:25.799
 I want you to understand

00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:26.980
 Psalms tells us

00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:28.279
 some trust in chariots

00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:29.559
 and some in horses

00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:30.660
 but we will remember

00:32:30.660 --> 00:32:31.819
 the name of the Lord

00:32:31.819 --> 00:32:32.680
 our God

00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:34.759
 you know

00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:35.440
 I want you to understand

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:36.360
 people today

00:32:36.360 --> 00:32:37.519
 well I'm agnostic

00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:38.360
 or I'm atheist

00:32:38.360 --> 00:32:39.299
 I don't trust anything

00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:39.860
 yeah you are

00:32:39.860 --> 00:32:40.960
 you're trusting yourself

00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:43.980
 or you're trusting

00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:44.740
 a philosopher

00:32:44.740 --> 00:32:45.539
 you know

00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:46.200
 one of the problems

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:46.880
 we have today

00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:47.580
 I think a lot of people

00:32:47.580 --> 00:32:48.400
 get led astray

00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:49.279
 because they trust

00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:50.120
 what somebody says

00:32:50.120 --> 00:32:50.740
 about the Bible

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:51.940
 more than what the Bible says

00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:52.580
 you don't know

00:32:52.580 --> 00:32:53.100
 how many times

00:32:53.100 --> 00:32:53.920
 I've had discussions

00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:54.880
 and the thing comes up

00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:55.019
 and says

00:32:55.019 --> 00:32:56.019
 well did you hear

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:57.039
 well such and such

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.640
 in 1500

00:32:57.640 --> 00:32:58.460
 wrote this

00:32:58.460 --> 00:32:58.820
 I'm like

00:32:58.820 --> 00:32:59.519
 I really don't care

00:32:59.519 --> 00:32:59.940
 what they wrote

00:32:59.940 --> 00:33:00.440
 in 1500

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:03.460
 it may give you

00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:04.160
 a little insight

00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:04.860
 but it doesn't

00:33:04.860 --> 00:33:05.900
 supersede the book

00:33:05.900 --> 00:33:07.680
 that's where truth is

00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:08.960
 truth is in this

00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:09.680
 pulp of the day

00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:10.779
 not because of me

00:33:10.779 --> 00:33:11.880
 but because of the book

00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:13.259
 when we understand

00:33:13.259 --> 00:33:13.960
 the scripture

00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.820
 notice as we go on

00:33:16.820 --> 00:33:17.580
 down through here

00:33:17.580 --> 00:33:17.779
 this

00:33:17.779 --> 00:33:20.660
 this morning

00:33:20.660 --> 00:33:21.240
 look here

00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:21.799
 it says

00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:22.600
 this

00:33:22.600 --> 00:33:23.180
 and it says

00:33:23.180 --> 00:33:24.019
 in verse 34

00:33:24.019 --> 00:33:24.500
 it says

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:25.200
 is not this

00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:26.100
 laid up in store

00:33:26.100 --> 00:33:26.500
 with thee

00:33:26.500 --> 00:33:27.220
 and sealed up

00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:28.120
 among thy treasures

00:33:28.120 --> 00:33:29.180
 to me

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:29.779
 belongeth

00:33:29.779 --> 00:33:30.200
 vengeance

00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:31.139
 and recompense

00:33:31.139 --> 00:33:31.819
 for their foot

00:33:31.819 --> 00:33:32.960
 shall slide

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:33.740
 in due time

00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:34.240
 for the day

00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:35.059
 of their calamity

00:33:35.059 --> 00:33:35.660
 is at hand

00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:36.259
 and the things

00:33:36.259 --> 00:33:37.399
 that shall come

00:33:37.399 --> 00:33:38.139
 upon them

00:33:38.139 --> 00:33:40.180
 make haste

00:33:40.180 --> 00:33:41.240
 for the Lord

00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:42.279
 shall judge

00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:43.500
 his people

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:44.859
 I want you to

00:33:44.859 --> 00:33:45.500
 understand

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:46.279
 that we're going

00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:47.019
 to give account

00:33:47.019 --> 00:33:47.700
 to God

00:33:47.700 --> 00:33:48.619
 Peter says

00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:49.240
 who shall give

00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:50.119
 account to him

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:51.160
 that is ready

00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:51.720
 to judge

00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:52.339
 the quick

00:33:52.339 --> 00:33:53.440
 and the dead

00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:54.379
 the judgment

00:33:54.379 --> 00:33:55.059
 of God

00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:56.019
 Moses reminds

00:33:56.019 --> 00:33:56.680
 the people

00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:57.839
 of their latter

00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:58.240
 ends

00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:58.519
 you're going

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:59.139
 to be judged

00:33:59.139 --> 00:33:59.740
 of God

00:33:59.740 --> 00:34:03.299
 God's judgment

00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:04.339
 will be present

00:34:04.339 --> 00:34:05.480
 the Lord

00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:06.180
 will hold

00:34:06.180 --> 00:34:07.079
 the rebellious

00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:07.779
 to account

00:34:07.779 --> 00:34:10.400
 it's in his

00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:10.780
 hand

00:34:10.780 --> 00:34:11.539
 to execute

00:34:11.539 --> 00:34:12.219
 vengeance

00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:13.599
 and recompense

00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:14.400
 for the evil

00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:15.019
 that has been

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:15.519
 done

00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:16.699
 you know

00:34:16.699 --> 00:34:17.199
 that's reason

00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:17.699
 the writer

00:34:17.699 --> 00:34:18.360
 of Hebrews

00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:19.719
 in chapter 10

00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:20.440
 verse 31

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:20.880
 says

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:21.699
 it is a fearful

00:34:21.699 --> 00:34:22.800
 thing to fall

00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:23.619
 into the hands

00:34:23.619 --> 00:34:24.159
 of the living

00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:24.679
 God

00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:27.679
 to understand

00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:28.480
 that the Bible

00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:29.039
 I want you to

00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:29.399
 understand

00:34:29.399 --> 00:34:29.919
 those speaks

00:34:29.919 --> 00:34:30.279
 of two

00:34:30.279 --> 00:34:30.819
 judgments

00:34:30.819 --> 00:34:34.079
 speaks about

00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:35.179
 his judging

00:34:35.179 --> 00:34:35.799
 his people

00:34:35.799 --> 00:34:36.319
 the judgment

00:34:36.319 --> 00:34:36.779
 seat of

00:34:36.779 --> 00:34:37.259
 Christ

00:34:37.259 --> 00:34:40.059
 2nd Corinthians

00:34:40.059 --> 00:34:41.000
 we find

00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:42.659
 in chapter 5

00:34:42.659 --> 00:34:43.379
 and verse 10

00:34:43.379 --> 00:34:43.879
 that God

00:34:43.879 --> 00:34:44.559
 says we all

00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:45.239
 must appear

00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:46.039
 before him

00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:48.500
 when we

00:34:48.500 --> 00:34:49.099
 understand

00:34:49.099 --> 00:34:49.960
 that picture

00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:50.519
 even as a

00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:50.960
 believer

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:51.639
 you know

00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:52.039
 that's the

00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:52.579
 reason that

00:34:52.579 --> 00:34:53.259
 salvation

00:34:53.260 --> 00:34:53.840
 isn't

00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:54.440
 licensed

00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:55.360
 God's

00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:55.720
 still going

00:34:55.720 --> 00:34:56.000
 to hold

00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:56.300
 you to

00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:56.660
 account

00:34:56.660 --> 00:34:57.000
 for the

00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:57.460
 decisions

00:34:57.460 --> 00:34:57.840
 that you

00:34:57.840 --> 00:34:58.160
 make

00:34:58.160 --> 00:35:00.380
 the

00:35:00.380 --> 00:35:00.840
 difference

00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:01.240
 is

00:35:01.240 --> 00:35:01.520
 is

00:35:01.520 --> 00:35:01.980
 one

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:02.600
 you're

00:35:02.600 --> 00:35:02.900
 missing

00:35:02.900 --> 00:35:03.220
 out

00:35:03.220 --> 00:35:03.520
 on the

00:35:03.520 --> 00:35:04.020
 rewards

00:35:04.020 --> 00:35:04.300
 God

00:35:04.300 --> 00:35:04.540
 wants

00:35:04.540 --> 00:35:04.720
 to

00:35:04.720 --> 00:35:04.920
 give

00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:05.200
 you

00:35:05.200 --> 00:35:07.860
 because

00:35:07.860 --> 00:35:08.200
 you've

00:35:08.200 --> 00:35:08.680
 invested

00:35:08.680 --> 00:35:09.040
 in the

00:35:09.040 --> 00:35:09.220
 wrong

00:35:09.220 --> 00:35:09.760
 things

00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:11.160
 you see

00:35:11.160 --> 00:35:11.720
 once you're

00:35:11.720 --> 00:35:12.140
 saved

00:35:12.140 --> 00:35:12.380
 you're

00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:12.780
 secure

00:35:12.780 --> 00:35:13.520
 your

00:35:13.520 --> 00:35:14.180
 eternity

00:35:14.180 --> 00:35:14.840
 is locked

00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:15.140
 in

00:35:15.140 --> 00:35:15.960
 I want

00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:16.140
 you to

00:35:16.140 --> 00:35:16.480
 understand

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:17.140
 that happens

00:35:17.140 --> 00:35:17.460
 at the

00:35:17.460 --> 00:35:17.740
 moment

00:35:17.740 --> 00:35:18.280
 you call

00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:18.540
 upon

00:35:18.540 --> 00:35:18.760
 him

00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:18.940
 as

00:35:18.940 --> 00:35:19.240
 savior

00:35:19.240 --> 00:35:21.240
 he is

00:35:21.240 --> 00:35:21.460
 the

00:35:21.460 --> 00:35:21.860
 earnest

00:35:21.860 --> 00:35:22.320
 of your

00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:22.960
 salvation

00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:24.559
 if you

00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:24.900
 have

00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:25.119
 not

00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:25.320
 the

00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:25.699
 spirit

00:35:25.699 --> 00:35:25.940
 you're

00:35:25.940 --> 00:35:26.139
 none

00:35:26.139 --> 00:35:26.260
 of

00:35:26.260 --> 00:35:26.460
 his

00:35:26.460 --> 00:35:26.800
 that's

00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:26.920
 the

00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:27.280
 reality

00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:27.559
 you need

00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:27.860
 to ask

00:35:27.860 --> 00:35:28.119
 yourself

00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:28.619
 is

00:35:28.619 --> 00:35:29.199
 God's

00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:29.500
 spirit

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:30.000
 working

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:30.579
 and talking

00:35:30.579 --> 00:35:30.980
 in my

00:35:30.980 --> 00:35:31.440
 life

00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:31.920
 through

00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:32.199
 his

00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:32.539
 word

00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:33.159
 if it's

00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:33.460
 not

00:35:33.460 --> 00:35:33.780
 you ought

00:35:33.780 --> 00:35:34.039
 to ask

00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:34.320
 yourself

00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:34.840
 a question

00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:35.579
 why not

00:35:35.579 --> 00:35:36.280
 when we

00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:37.079
 understand

00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:38.699
 that God's

00:35:38.699 --> 00:35:38.980
 going to

00:35:38.980 --> 00:35:39.320
 judge

00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:39.800
 but I want

00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:39.960
 you to

00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:40.340
 understand

00:35:40.340 --> 00:35:40.539
 we're

00:35:40.539 --> 00:35:40.639
 going to

00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:41.199
 be judged

00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:41.940
 for reward

00:35:41.940 --> 00:35:42.500
 not for

00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:43.420
 condemnation

00:35:43.420 --> 00:35:45.360
 our works

00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:45.599
 are going

00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:45.800
 to be

00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:46.240
 tried

00:35:46.240 --> 00:35:47.500
 by fire

00:35:47.500 --> 00:35:47.960
 you know

00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:48.240
 I believe

00:35:48.240 --> 00:35:48.440
 there's

00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:48.599
 going to

00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:48.980
 be a lot

00:35:48.980 --> 00:35:48.980


00:35:48.980 --> 00:35:49.360
 of people

00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:49.579
 that are

00:35:49.579 --> 00:35:49.679
 going to

00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:50.179
 be sad

00:35:50.179 --> 00:35:50.719
 on judgment

00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:51.019
 day

00:35:51.019 --> 00:35:51.319
 when they

00:35:51.319 --> 00:35:51.539
 stand

00:35:51.539 --> 00:35:51.919
 before the

00:35:51.919 --> 00:35:52.059
 Lord

00:35:52.059 --> 00:35:52.279
 even

00:35:52.279 --> 00:35:52.759
 I'm

00:35:52.759 --> 00:35:52.980
 talking

00:35:52.980 --> 00:35:53.139
 about

00:35:53.139 --> 00:35:53.480
 believers

00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:53.839
 here

00:35:53.839 --> 00:35:54.619
 when they

00:35:54.619 --> 00:35:55.139
 see all

00:35:55.139 --> 00:35:55.799
 the blessings

00:35:55.799 --> 00:35:56.179
 and the

00:35:56.179 --> 00:35:56.739
 rewards

00:35:56.739 --> 00:35:57.159
 the Lord

00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:57.539
 wanted

00:35:57.539 --> 00:35:58.119
 for them

00:35:58.119 --> 00:35:58.940
 and they

00:35:58.940 --> 00:35:59.480
 come with

00:35:59.480 --> 00:35:59.919
 all the

00:35:59.919 --> 00:36:00.239
 things

00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:00.679
 that want

00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:00.980
 to say

00:36:00.980 --> 00:36:01.419
 Jesus

00:36:01.419 --> 00:36:01.799
 look what

00:36:01.799 --> 00:36:02.099
 I did

00:36:02.099 --> 00:36:02.599
 for you

00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:03.539
 even after

00:36:03.539 --> 00:36:03.699
 you're

00:36:03.699 --> 00:36:03.920
 saved

00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:04.239
 you can

00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:04.380
 do

00:36:04.380 --> 00:36:04.619
 things

00:36:04.619 --> 00:36:04.860
 for the

00:36:04.860 --> 00:36:05.000
 wrong

00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:05.360
 reason

00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:05.940
 and it

00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:06.079
 gets

00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:06.360
 burned

00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:06.679
 up

00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:07.279
 because

00:36:07.279 --> 00:36:07.440
 our

00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:07.839
 focus

00:36:07.839 --> 00:36:08.219
 wasn't

00:36:08.219 --> 00:36:08.360
 on

00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:08.480
 the

00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:08.679
 right

00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:09.159
 things

00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:09.940
 but there's

00:36:09.940 --> 00:36:10.239
 another

00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:10.699
 judgment

00:36:10.699 --> 00:36:11.159
 the great

00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:11.779
 white throne

00:36:11.779 --> 00:36:12.279
 judgment

00:36:12.279 --> 00:36:14.019
 where God's

00:36:14.019 --> 00:36:14.279
 going to

00:36:14.279 --> 00:36:14.659
 judge

00:36:14.659 --> 00:36:15.360
 all those

00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:15.539
 that

00:36:15.539 --> 00:36:16.339
 refused

00:36:16.339 --> 00:36:19.119
 Revelation

00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:20.279
 chapter 20

00:36:20.279 --> 00:36:20.940
 speaks of

00:36:20.940 --> 00:36:21.420
 it

00:36:21.420 --> 00:36:22.920
 2 Thessalonians

00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:23.639
 1 9

00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:24.360
 speaks of

00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:24.539
 it

00:36:24.539 --> 00:36:26.099
 it tells

00:36:26.099 --> 00:36:26.440
 us very

00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:26.839
 clearly

00:36:26.839 --> 00:36:27.619
 one day

00:36:27.619 --> 00:36:28.559
 anybody

 who hasn't

00:36:31.299 --> 00:36:31.860
 called upon

00:36:31.860 --> 00:36:32.220
 the name

 is going

00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:33.559
 to be

00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:34.099
 raised

00:36:34.099 --> 00:36:34.579
 again

00:36:34.579 --> 00:36:35.099
 to stand

00:36:35.099 --> 00:36:35.599
 judgment

00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:36.539
 before God

00:36:36.539 --> 00:36:37.180
 in a

00:36:37.180 --> 00:36:37.620
 final

00:36:37.620 --> 00:36:38.220
 dynamic

00:36:38.220 --> 00:36:38.900
 and it

00:36:38.900 --> 00:36:39.140
 says

00:36:39.140 --> 00:36:39.460
 they'll be

00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:39.900
 cast

00:36:39.900 --> 00:36:40.320
 into the

00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:40.519
 lake

00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:41.039
 of fire

00:36:42.300 --> 00:36:42.640
 hell

00:36:42.640 --> 00:36:42.920
 is a

00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:43.039
 real

00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:43.500
 place

00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:44.260

00:36:44.260 --> 00:36:44.460
 in a

00:36:44.460 --> 00:36:45.019
 generation

00:36:45.019 --> 00:36:45.260

00:36:45.260 --> 00:36:45.760
 amazes

00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:45.900
 me

00:36:45.900 --> 00:36:46.039
 how

00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:46.200
 many

00:36:46.200 --> 00:36:46.599
 people

00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:48.039
 down

00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:48.860
 or

00:36:48.860 --> 00:36:49.720
 reimagine

00:36:49.720 --> 00:36:50.059
 hell

00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:51.800

00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:52.260
 never

00:36:52.980 --> 00:36:55.920
 kindly

00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:56.559
 or gently

00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:57.099
 about this

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:57.360
 place

00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:57.640
 called

00:36:57.640 --> 00:36:57.900
 hell

00:36:57.900 --> 00:36:58.599
 it's a

00:36:58.599 --> 00:36:58.880
 place

00:36:58.880 --> 00:36:59.079

00:36:59.079 --> 00:36:59.500
 weeping

00:36:59.500 --> 00:37:00.039
 and gnashing

00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:00.599
 of teeth

00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:01.340
 why

00:37:01.340 --> 00:37:01.680

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:06.399
 quickly

00:37:06.399 --> 00:37:06.719

00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:19.819
 importance

00:39:19.819 --> 00:39:20.659
 not

 made

00:39:24.739 --> 00:39:24.899
 an

00:39:24.899 --> 00:39:25.259
 interesting

00:39:25.259 --> 00:39:25.879
 statement

00:39:25.879 --> 00:39:27.359
 he

00:39:27.359 --> 00:39:27.579
 said

00:39:27.579 --> 00:39:27.819
 this

00:39:27.819 --> 00:39:27.980
 our

00:39:27.980 --> 00:39:28.619
 constitution

00:39:28.619 --> 00:39:29.139
 is

00:39:29.139 --> 00:39:29.480
 made

00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:29.980
 only

00:39:29.980 --> 00:39:30.299
 for

00:39:31.379 --> 00:39:31.899
 people

00:39:31.899 --> 00:39:32.559
 it

00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:32.719
 is

00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:33.059
 wholly

00:39:33.059 --> 00:39:33.559
 inadequate

00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:33.899
 for

00:39:33.899 --> 00:39:34.019
 the

00:39:34.019 --> 00:39:34.319
 government

00:39:34.319 --> 00:39:34.539
 of

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:39.079

00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:39.440
 understood

00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:39.659
 he

00:39:39.659 --> 00:39:39.859
 said

00:39:39.859 --> 00:39:40.039
 hey

00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:40.299
 this

00:39:40.299 --> 00:39:40.539
 isn't

00:39:40.539 --> 00:39:40.739
 just

00:39:40.739 --> 00:39:40.899
 for

00:39:40.899 --> 00:39:41.119
 our

00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:41.659
 generation

 we need

00:39:42.799 --> 00:39:43.199
 things

00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:44.079
 if

 this

00:39:44.259 --> 00:39:44.399
 is

00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:11.960
 morning

00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:12.179
 it's

00:40:12.179 --> 00:40:12.679
 important

 that

00:40:12.919 --> 00:40:13.039
 we

 today

00:40:14.299 --> 00:40:14.519
 but

 look

 to

 God

00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:11.519
 has

00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:11.840
 said

00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:12.440
 not

 preacher

 what

00:43:14.619 --> 00:43:14.779
 does

00:43:14.779 --> 00:43:15.119
 God's

00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:15.320
 word

00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:15.659

00:43:15.659 --> 00:43:17.059
 that

00:43:17.059 --> 00:43:17.259
 which

00:43:17.259 --> 00:43:17.440
 is

00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:17.899
 true

00:43:17.899 --> 00:43:19.379
 and

00:43:19.379 --> 00:43:19.739
 just

00:43:19.739 --> 00:43:19.920
 and

00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:20.299
 accurate

00:43:20.299 --> 00:43:23.199
 maybe

00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:23.359
 you're

00:43:23.359 --> 00:43:23.460
 here

00:43:23.460 --> 00:43:23.779
 today

00:43:23.779 --> 00:43:24.099
 as a

00:43:24.099 --> 00:43:24.399
 believer

00:43:24.399 --> 00:43:26.500
 you

00:43:26.500 --> 00:43:26.759
 know

00:43:26.759 --> 00:43:27.059
 without

00:43:27.059 --> 00:43:27.239
 a

00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:27.460
 doubt

00:43:27.460 --> 00:43:27.679
 that

00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:27.819
 there

00:43:27.819 --> 00:43:27.940
 was

00:43:27.940 --> 00:43:28.059
 a

00:43:28.059 --> 00:43:28.420
 time

00:43:28.420 --> 00:43:28.539
 and

00:43:28.539 --> 00:43:28.639
 a

00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:28.940
 place

00:43:28.940 --> 00:43:29.119
 that

00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:29.239
 you

00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:29.519
 called

00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:29.799
 upon

00:43:29.799 --> 00:43:29.980
 him

00:43:29.980 --> 00:43:30.139
 as

00:43:30.139 --> 00:43:30.440
 Savior

00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:33.000
 and

00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:33.179
 there's

00:43:33.179 --> 00:43:33.319
 some

00:43:33.319 --> 00:43:33.619
 things

00:43:33.619 --> 00:43:33.920
 to say

00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:34.099
 that

00:43:34.099 --> 00:43:34.299
 they're

00:43:34.299 --> 00:43:34.779
 hindering

00:43:34.779 --> 00:43:36.259
 because

00:43:36.259 --> 00:43:36.460
 I'm

00:43:36.460 --> 00:43:36.619
 not

00:43:36.619 --> 00:43:36.839
 being

00:43:36.839 --> 00:43:37.480
 obedient

00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:37.859
 to

00:43:37.859 --> 00:43:38.179
 carry

00:43:38.179 --> 00:43:38.639
 on

00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:39.639
 to

00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:39.779
 be

00:43:39.779 --> 00:43:39.899
 an

00:43:39.899 --> 00:43:40.440
 example

00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:40.719
 to

00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:41.000
 another

00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:41.699
 generation

00:43:41.699 --> 00:43:44.000
 your

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:44.779
 faithfulness

 affects

00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:46.920
 somebody

00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:47.319
 else

00:43:47.319 --> 00:43:47.759
 what

00:43:47.759 --> 00:43:48.019
 about

00:43:48.019 --> 00:43:48.359
 you

00:43:48.359 --> 00:43:49.659
 today

00:43:49.659 --> 00:43:51.279
 as

00:43:51.279 --> 00:43:51.639
 piano

00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:52.179
 plays

00:43:52.179 --> 00:43:53.420
 what
