I just feel so good. 66 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: You know, I normally don't walk all around and greet everybody, 67 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: but I just wanted to see who's coming to church, 68 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: and I was asking people are coming one hour? 69 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: Then you got to park and go get a shuttle it's. 70 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 3: About another hour. That's a sign of where the country's headed. 71 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 3: But that, by the way, that's not going to be 72 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: happening too much longer. 73 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 4: From what I'm hearing through. 74 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: Back channels, there's not even going to be any kind 75 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: of issue or anything because where that building is. Even 76 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 3: if people want to make a complaint, there's laws that 77 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: you can't just complain about random buildings. You have to 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: live within a certain distance of the building, and this 79 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 3: building is in an industrial park, so other than squirrels 80 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 3: and stink bugs, there's not really anybody that can complain. 81 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 3: It's going to be a great close out to the year. 82 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 3: You're going to have a great close out to the year, 83 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 3: No two ways about. Praise go Hallelujah. I'm so glad 84 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: that the Lord gave us that jet to use. 85 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 4: You know. 86 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 3: Dallas preached in Los Angeles on Friday night. She had 87 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 3: a women's meeting and they had two hundred and forty 88 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: seven women at our church that's been open six months 89 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: in just outside of Los Angeles now, and then she 90 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: preached last night, and if you fly commercial, she's still 91 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 3: not back to Pittsburgh. 92 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 4: She left after the service and she's still not back. 93 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 3: So when people say, what does the preacher need a 94 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: jet for, we don't need one if you're going to 95 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 3: miss the services. But if you want to be there 96 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 3: to be to preach them, there's no other way to 97 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 3: do it. And God's made that possible. We're actually going 98 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: to spend less on air air related expenses this year 99 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 3: than we did last year as much as we're using 100 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: the plane and using a bigger plane. So God's just 101 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 3: God's just helping everything. There's such a great feel in 102 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 3: this ministry and it stands out to me more and 103 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: more every week. 104 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 4: And I'm so thankful. I'm thankful for all the pastors. 105 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: I'm thankful for all ushers and greeters and just everybody. 106 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: My heart is filled with gratitude of Texas everybody, and 107 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 3: the best is yet to come. If you don't know, 108 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: if you don't know anything, this church is three three 109 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: and a half years old, a little over three and 110 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 3: a half years old, and if you're watching in Texas, 111 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: that one is going to be it's not quite two 112 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: years old yet, it'll be two years old in a 113 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 3: in a year or so. Los Angeles is at about 114 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 3: two fifty to three twenty and that's been opened six months. 115 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 4: And Arizona, we're getting ready. 116 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: To knock out the back wall of that church that's 117 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 3: been opened since April nineteenth. And it's just going to 118 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 3: keep going like that till the coming of the Lord, 119 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 3: because God said, in the last days, I will pour 120 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: out my spirit on all flesh. 121 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 4: I was talking to people on the way. 122 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: Out, and there were visitors in the aight am service, 123 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: and they said, we came last week. 124 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 4: We've gone to other churches. 125 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 3: They said, we just wanted to start going back to 126 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 3: church or going to church, which a lot of people 127 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: are feeling that way. And they said the other ones 128 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 3: we went to, we just kept looking, and when we 129 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 3: came here, we thought, it doesn't feel dead. Church shouldn't 130 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 3: feel like you're having Jesus' funeral. It's a celebration that 131 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: he rose from the dead. Can you say amen? Matthew thirteen, 132 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 3: verse twenty four. Here's another story Jesus told the Kingdom 133 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 3: of heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed 134 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: in his field. But that night, as the worker slept, 135 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: his enemy came in and planted among the wheat, then 136 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 3: slipped away. When the crop began to grow and produce grain, 137 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 3: the tears also grew. The farmers workers went to them 138 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 3: and said, sir, the field where you've planted the good 139 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 3: seed is full of tears. Where did they come from? 140 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: An enemy has done it. The farmer said, should we 141 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 3: pull out the tears? No, he replied, you'll uproot the wheat. 142 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: If you do, let both grow together until the harvest comes. 143 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the tears, 144 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: tie them in bundles and burn them. 145 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 4: But put the wheat in the barn. 146 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 3: And then, if you're wondering what he's talking about, just 147 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 3: skip down about two paragraphs and it says parable of 148 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 3: tears and weeds explained. Then, leaving the crowds, Jesus went 149 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: into it into the house. His disciples said, please explain 150 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 3: to us the story of the. 151 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: Tears in the field. 152 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: Jesus replied, the son of Man is the farmer who 153 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: plants the good seed. The field is the world, and 154 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: the good seed represent the people of the kingdom. The 155 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: tears are the people who belong to the evil one. 156 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: The enemy who planted the tears among the weed is 157 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, 158 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: and the harvesters are the angels. It amazes me how 159 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 3: people on the news will say, what could cause somebody 160 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 3: to shoot someone that's a father of two people like 161 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk and a husband to a wife, and just 162 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 3: shoot him for talking. 163 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 4: There's a devil, the Bible says. 164 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 3: He goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he 165 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: may devour. Who planted these tears among the wheat? The 166 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 3: devil did it, Jesus said, So it's not God. You're 167 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 3: going to be one confused son of a gun if 168 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 3: you're always trying to figure out why God would do that. 169 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 3: Why you know, my dad was killed in by a 170 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: drunk driver. Why did God do that? Ain't God doing it? 171 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: God never had any will for people to die. Death 172 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 3: came as a result of sin. So the devil's a deceiver. 173 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 3: He's the author of all the tragedy in the world, 174 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: and all the tragedy of that you've ex experience. But 175 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: then he'll get you to get mad at God, and 176 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 3: God is your only hope to get salvation and help 177 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 3: out of that gloominess. Can you say amen? And so 178 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 3: he said, the devil's done it. An enemy has done it, 179 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 3: he said, And so the devil is the one that 180 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: planted the seed. The harvest is the end of the world, 181 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 3: and the harvesters are the angels. Now he also answers 182 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 3: the question here that. 183 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 4: You get a lot. 184 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 3: Why doesn't God do something about the wickedness that's in 185 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 3: the world. 186 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 4: If he's God and he's all powerful, how. 187 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 3: Come he just doesn't start, you know, destroying the people 188 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 3: that are trying to destroy other people. 189 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 4: Well, that's what the disciples said. Why don't you rip 190 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 4: the tears out? Tears? 191 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 3: It says weeds in the New Living Translation, but I 192 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: kept changing it to tears because that's what it is 193 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 3: in the original language. I don't need to lecture my 194 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 3: Amish friends about this because they already know it. 195 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 4: But tears aren't weeds. 196 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: Tears look exactly like wheat, except they're hollow and they 197 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 3: don't have anything you can use, and they choke the 198 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 3: nutrients out of the wheat. And so the Bible says 199 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: the tears are those that belong to the devil, they're 200 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 3: inner woven with the children of light. We inhabit the 201 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 3: same earth. And so they said, why don't you just 202 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 3: rip them all out and judge them, kill them. Why 203 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 3: don't we just pray that God would kill everybody or 204 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 3: or deal harshly with people that want to hurt people. 205 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: Jesus said, there's no way to do that without also 206 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 3: hurting the wheat. If he rained fire down on somebody 207 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 3: that's wicked in Pittsburgh and they live in the same 208 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 3: apartment complex as you, both of you are going to die. 209 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 3: So the Bible says, one day, and this is where 210 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 3: you get into the teaching of the Great catching Away 211 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: of the Church, that one day the wheat will be 212 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 3: gathered by the angels and brought into a barn, and 213 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: then the tears and those that choose to stay belonging 214 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 3: to the devil will be burned with never ending fire. 215 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 3: Just as the tears are sorted out and burned in 216 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: the fire. So it will be at the end of 217 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, 218 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: and they will remove from the kingdom everything that causes 219 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 3: sin and all who do evil, and the angels will 220 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 3: throw them into the fiery furnace, where they'll be weeping 221 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 3: and gnashing of teeth. You know, when I was a kid, 222 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 3: people say, if God's a god of love, why would 223 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 3: he create a place like hell? But I don't hear 224 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 3: that question too much anymore because you have individuals that 225 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 3: are doing things that are so wicked. I think people 226 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 3: are starting to understand why there is a hell. And 227 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 3: I know Hell was created for the devil and his demons, 228 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 3: but then the Bible says it's also a place for 229 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: those who love to do evil. There's people that won't 230 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 3: be able to sleep tonight till they've harmed somebody, and 231 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 3: the Bible says, if they won't turn and repent, then 232 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 3: God has a place of everlasting punishment prepared for those people. 233 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 4: Can you say amen? 234 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 3: And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, 235 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 3: where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. But 236 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: the righteous will shine like the sun in their father's kingdom. 237 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 3: Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand. Woke 238 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 3: up at five oh seven this morning and got this 239 00:11:58,559 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: message together. 240 00:11:59,360 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 4: I don't wake up. 241 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 3: Actually, I had three alarms. My bedroom sounded like a 242 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: nuclear bunker, and I was able to get up the reality, 243 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: the call and the blessing of separation. 244 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 4: You hear everybody talking in the news and in. 245 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 3: The church about how there's division and how there needs 246 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 3: to be unity, but there's not going to be unity. 247 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 4: Jesus taught there's a division. 248 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 3: There's those that belong to darkness and there's those that 249 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 3: belong to light. Now, obviously our response in running that 250 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 3: river Hound Stadium, we're not happy anybody's going to go 251 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: to hell. We want to make it very difficult to 252 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 3: go to hell. We want you to have to turn 253 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 3: down like three people to go to hell. Let me 254 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: have John and Gabriel from the Bible College come up 255 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: real quick and just tell what happened and what part 256 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 3: of Pittsburgh you were in. 257 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 4: Real quick, John and Gabriel, if you walk a little quicker, 258 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 4: it's a two hour service. 259 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 3: So they were telling me, tell me what part of 260 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh you were in and what you were doing, and 261 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 3: what the response was. 262 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 5: We were in Southside Flats in Pittsburgh. We decided, in 263 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 5: the wake of everything that happened that we're just not 264 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 5: gonna sit around. 265 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 4: We're going to preach the gospel. 266 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 5: So Friday night, the week Charlie Kirk died, we went 267 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 5: to Southside, and then Saturday night we went to Southside. 268 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 5: Sunday night we went to Southside, and Monday night after 269 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 5: the PNC game, we preached the gospel there too, and 270 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 5: the response was overwhelmingly positive. I mean, there was so 271 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 5: many people that want to pause you real quick. 272 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: Everybody said, preach the gospel? What does the gospel mean? 273 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 3: Good news? 274 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 4: So you have some. 275 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 3: People, like when I was in Seattle, there's people that 276 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 3: stand outside of their baseball stadium. You're all going to 277 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: hell if you don't repent. That's not good news. That's 278 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: literally the worst news you could possibly hear, even though 279 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: it's true. But Jesus didn't come down from heaven and 280 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: start telling everybody you're all going to hell. He said, 281 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: come to me, all you that are weary and heavy laden, 282 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 3: and then I'll give you a rista. So the church 283 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 3: is not the enemy of sinners. Sinners actually loved Jesus. 284 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: His problem was with the organized religious establishment. 285 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 4: Can you say amen? So when we send people in 286 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 4: the Pittsford, we're not yelling at at him? 287 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 3: How dare you go into that barn drink well? They know, 288 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 3: deep down, they know they don't need condemnation. They need 289 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 3: to hear about what Jesus did that will set them free. 290 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 3: Can you say amen? 291 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 4: And how can they know if somebody doesn't tell them. 292 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 6: I'm Joel Pulowski. I had lung cancer. So last night 293 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 6: Pastor Donathan came. He's been coming all week. This has 294 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 6: just been a very powerful week, but last night was different. 295 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 6: I was diagnosed last September. Been dealing with that chemo 296 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 6: and all the stuff that goes along with it. I 297 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 6: came Monday and I didn't want to come. I came 298 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 6: Tuesday and I wanted to be here even less. I 299 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 6: came last night and I really did not want to 300 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 6: be here. I came here to make my wife happy. 301 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 6: That's really the only reason why I came. I was 302 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 6: upset and tired and hurt, tired of dealing with this. 303 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 6: As Jonathan was talking faith last night, I got up 304 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 6: and I had I don't have the machine with me. 305 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 6: I haven't used it since I got up and I 306 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 6: walked up front. So yesterday, before I came here, I 307 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 6: was on four liters of air or oxygen a minute. 308 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 6: I'm on nothing right now. As you can see, and talking. 309 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 6: Lung cancer is gone. My lungs are stretching and growing 310 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 6: and changing, and I can feel it happening right now. 311 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 6: I'm stronger than I was two hours ago, and I'm 312 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 6: stronger than I was yesterday, and I'm going to be 313 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 6: stronger tomorrow, and I'm going to continue to get stronger 314 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 6: until I as strong as I've ever been. I have 315 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 6: not been able to talk like this in a very 316 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 6: very long time. I'm and I'm talking months. 317 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: Okay. I run out of air. I couldn't stand. 318 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 6: I could I had to sit every time that I 319 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 6: did anything with any kind of stress. I mean, walking 320 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 6: from one end of my house to another was exhausting. 321 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 6: That was two days ago. Right now, I walked in 322 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 6: here today just by. 323 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 4: So that's what these guys were doing. Go ahead. 324 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 5: And the amazing thing was so the friday night that 325 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 5: we went Olivia, one of the new students, she recorded 326 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 5: a video of everything that happened. Because if many of 327 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 5: you saw, David ended up getting detained because he. 328 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 3: Was somebody else. 329 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 4: He didn't get arrested for preaching. 330 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 3: He looked like someone that had a worn out for him. 331 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: So just if you're gonna go to do a street 332 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 3: with him, get. 333 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 4: Watch your haircut and stuff. 334 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 5: You go, And so that garnered a lot of attention, 335 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 5: and it was just because of sound ordinances. The cops 336 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 5: are actually really cool about it and now we're like friends. 337 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 5: But what happened was when that video was posted, the 338 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 5: view started racking up, and at this point it sits 339 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 5: at over one hundred and eighty eight thousand views, fourteen 340 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 5: thousand likes, over five hundred shares. And so from that 341 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 5: we made an Instagram page and as of right now, 342 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 5: we're sitting at seven hundred followers, and it was we 343 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 5: started on Friday. So it's garnered a lot of attention. 344 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 3: For the glory of God, and we give God. 345 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 4: All the praise. 346 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 5: But you know, that's what revived today Bible Institute is 347 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 5: for us to raise up ministers of excellence that preach 348 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 5: the gospel of Jesus Christ and word and power. And 349 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 5: so that's exactly what we're doing. And we're not gonna stop. 350 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 5: We're gonna keep going crazy. 351 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 4: You said, how many received Jesus last night? One hundred 352 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 4: and twenty alone. One hundred and twenty last night responded 353 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 4: to receive Jesus Christ. What part of Pittsburgh were you 354 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 4: in southside? South side? 355 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 3: Yes, so one hundred and twenty down a couple hundred 356 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 3: thousand to Godo. 357 00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 4: Well that's how you go. So I like that. 358 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 3: Give these two fine young men the great handclap, proud 359 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 3: of you guys. So I want to be clear what 360 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: our response is, because though we don't bow to sin, 361 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: we're against sin heavy. We are four sinners heavy. We 362 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,239 Speaker 3: send teams in chucks. Here go into the prison. How 363 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 3: many missions have you run into the prison? Now eighty 364 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 3: four times has gone into the prison. When did you 365 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 3: receive Jesus Christ twenty twenty three, twenty two? 366 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, and when were. 367 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 3: You married April twenty twenty two or April twenty twenty three. 368 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 4: July twenty twenty two. 369 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 3: So you're talking about in less what's exactly three years about? 370 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 3: He's gone eighty four times into the prison. You don't 371 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 3: go into the prison and tell hey, you know how 372 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 3: you guys are on criminals, Shame on you. 373 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 4: That's not the gospel. 374 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 3: And I'll also get you stabbed with a sharpened toothbrush 375 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 3: right through your chest several times. I remember when I 376 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 3: went to priests in the prison, they said, we're going 377 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 3: to send you a guard and if they had, if 378 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 3: they all attack you, he's there to help you. I said, 379 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 3: how many bullets are in that clip? Said nine? How 380 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 3: many guys are there? 381 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 4: Thirty three? Well I only got to see in math. 382 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 4: But that doesn't sound like it's good for me. So 383 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 4: I can hit that little button and they can come 384 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 4: collect my body. That'll be great. 385 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: So you don't go in and yell at the prisoners, 386 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 3: and you don't go down on the south side and 387 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 3: start yelling at sinners. How shame on you. America's fallen 388 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 3: so far from God. That makes self righteous people feel 389 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 3: good to do that. But that's not winning the lost. 390 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 3: Winning the lost is doing what Billy Graham did. Who's 391 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 3: what Jesus did, going into the highways and hedges and 392 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 3: compelling people to get rid of sin, the things that 393 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 3: are destroying their life. Jesus doesn't want to yell at 394 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: them about it. He wants to deliver them from it. 395 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 3: Can you say, man? And that people don't. 396 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 4: People can't understand. 397 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 3: You know, how has this church grown to a thousand 398 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 3: people in three years? Because we're not gathering the remaining 399 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 3: Christians of Pittsburgh to feel good about ourselves. For ninety 400 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 3: minutes on Sunday, we're doing what they did in the Bible. 401 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: They met together and they prayed that God would help 402 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 3: them to make impact in their city, spiritual impact. I 403 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 3: want to say two words with me light darkness. That 404 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 3: guy that shot Charlie Kirk is full of darkness. He 405 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 3: hated the Bible, says Jesus said, you will be hated 406 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 3: in the last days simply because you're my follower. You've 407 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 3: had family, family that's never yelled at Anybody has yelled 408 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 3: at you because you started going to chair. You think 409 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 3: you're better than everybody now since you started going to 410 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 3: that chair, because it convicts them. When you start making 411 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 3: a decision to live for God, there's a separation that comes. 412 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 3: And you can't drag all your friends with you. You 413 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 3: wish you could. Some of them will come with you, 414 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 3: but some will turn against him get mad. Jesus told 415 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: you that, and I want to preach today on what 416 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 3: you're seeing happen in the ten days since Charlie Kirk 417 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 3: was shot. I think the blinders have come off everybody's eyes, 418 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 3: that people are seeing that there is really light and 419 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 3: there's really darkness, and there's not gonna be any in 420 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 3: between the middle ground is getting cut off. Every person's 421 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 3: gonna have to make up their mind what side they're on, 422 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 3: whether you're gonna be dark or whether you're going to 423 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 3: be light. And in darkness there's sin. In darkness there's wickedness. 424 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 3: But in light there's the righteousness and blessing and joy 425 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 3: of God. And God's gonna bless you today because though 426 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 3: you live in a dark world, the light of the 427 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 3: world lives on the inside of you. And God's gonna 428 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 3: empower you not only to survive what's going on in 429 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 3: the world, You're gonna make great impact in your generation. 430 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 4: In Jesus' name. If you believe it, can you. 431 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 3: Say aloud Amen and give the Lord a big handclap 432 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 3: the reality, the call and the blessing of separation. First 433 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 3: Corinthians five nine to eleven, New Living Translation, First Corinthians 434 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 3: five nine to eleven. When I wrote to you before, 435 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 3: I told you not to associate with people who indulge 436 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 3: in sexual sin. Now so thank God there's more verses 437 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 3: because if you just read that verse ago, Okay, So 438 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 3: let's go to McDonald's before I order my quarter poinder 439 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 3: with jeez, miss, I need to know, are you living, 440 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 3: pure and holy, because if not, I'm not gonna have 441 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: anything to do with this. 442 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 4: McDonald's. Well, let me tell you something, You're going to 443 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 4: starve to death. 444 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 3: If you want fellowship with anybody that's not perfect. You 445 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 3: better start a commune and grow your own crops, because 446 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 3: you're gonna have problems. But I wasn't talking about unbelievers 447 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 3: who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, 448 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 3: or worship idols. You would have to leave this world 449 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 3: to avoid people like that. 450 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 4: Eleven. I meant that you. 451 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 3: Are not to associate with anyone who claims to be 452 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 3: a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, 453 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 3: or worships idols. 454 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 4: Or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. 455 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: Don't even eat with such people, So the church has 456 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 3: to remain holy. The devil cannot stop the power of 457 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 3: the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, so he works 458 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 3: to corrupt it. He works to make the people that 459 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 3: are in it compromised. There are about three hundred and 460 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 3: fifty thousand churches in the United States of America, and 461 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 3: they operate as if they're about one thousand people ten 462 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 3: thousand people. 463 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 4: Up until recently, the church's voice. 464 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 3: Was very small, the impact was very low, the money 465 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 3: was non existent. Had to have car washes and bake 466 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 3: sales to do anything, while they throw up casinos in 467 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 3: eight months or nine months because the church became compromised. 468 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 4: And when you compromise, there's no power. 469 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: But I'm going to preach today on what happens when 470 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 3: you don't compromise. When you lay your full life on 471 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 3: the altar, God gives you, as in an individual, his 472 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: power and it doesn't take God long to turn everything around. 473 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 3: I had two stories that shook me up since Charlie 474 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 3: Kirk was shot, and I shared him last week, but 475 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 3: I want to share them again. 476 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 4: I'm gona share them till I go to heaven because 477 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 4: they really struck me. 478 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 3: When I was flying out of the private airport in 479 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 3: John Wayne Airport in southern California. You know they gear 480 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 3: those for rich people, and I would say, in that 481 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 3: part of America, Southern California, rich liberals. So when I 482 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 3: walked in to the private air they called an FBO 483 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 3: fixed base operation, I wanted to use the restroom. I 484 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 3: walked in and loudly over the speakers right they had praise. 485 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 4: And worship playing like not not. 486 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 3: Kayleth, like Clarita praise and worship like anointed praisan worship. 487 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 4: I'm not saying Kaylave's not Anon, but I did say 488 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 4: what I said. So they have that playing loud. 489 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 3: Well, I had just preached all week plus Saturday morning 490 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,239 Speaker 3: and now Saturday night, and I thought, I must just 491 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 3: be like tired, and I'm starting to hear like angels singing. 492 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 3: There's no chance they have that mut music playing on 493 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 3: a southern California public airport where rich people are using it. 494 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 4: That would be career suicide. So when the. 495 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: Lady walked up from mind the desk and said can 496 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 3: I help you with anything? 497 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 4: I said, what's with the music? 498 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,239 Speaker 3: And, because of my gruff voice from preaching and the 499 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: way I East Coast, asked her the question, she went, oh, 500 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 3: she said, you want me to turn it down? 501 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 4: I said no, I said, is that praise and worship? 502 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 4: She said it is? I said, did you put it on? 503 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 4: She said I did. I said why. 504 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 3: I never thought I was a pastor or anything, and 505 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 3: she said, well, I'm a believer, and she said we 506 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 3: used to play other stuff. And she said sometimes I 507 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 3: would put the music on when I was here by 508 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 3: myself and keep it low. 509 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 4: But after what happened to Charlie Kirk, I'm quoting her now. 510 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 3: She said, after what happened to Charlie Kirk, I just 511 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 3: said screw it and decided to play. 512 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 4: It full blast. 513 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 3: So what the devil meant for evil is actually bringing 514 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 3: something out of people where if the devil's not going 515 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 3: to hide, I too, am not going to hide. If 516 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 3: the devil's not going to be private about wickedness, I'm 517 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 3: going to be public about my faith and about what 518 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 3: I believe in God. 519 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 4: Can you say amen? So we talked. 520 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 3: So then the way she was talking, Abrahant was there 521 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 3: as a witness. 522 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 4: I had to go. I was flying back to Texas 523 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 4: last week to preach. 524 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 3: I sat down on the couch and listened to her 525 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 3: for about what twenty five minutes maybe, and delayed the 526 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 3: flight because I said, the way she was talking, she 527 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 3: was quoting scriptures and stuff. I said, how old are you? 528 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 3: She said, I'm twenty two. He named Samantha. She said, 529 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 3: I'm twenty two. I said, are you a preacher's kid? 530 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 3: You know you sound like me. Are you a preacher's kid? 531 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 3: She said no, She said my parents are atheists. She said, 532 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: have you seen any of the tent cities in southern California? 533 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 4: I said yes. 534 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 3: She said, my dad's a fentanyl act and lives in 535 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 3: one of the tent cities. We don't even know where 536 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 3: he is. And she said my mother's also an atheist 537 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 3: and on fentanyl, and she's in the house. But I 538 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 3: got out. I said, then, how in the world did 539 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 3: you end up like this? You never went to church 540 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 3: the whole time you grew up. 541 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 4: She said no. I said, what happened? She said when 542 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 4: they had the COVID lockdowns. 543 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 3: I was a freshman in high school, and she said, 544 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 3: California was locked down for three years. So I missed 545 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 3: my sophomore year, my junior year, and my senior year. 546 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 3: And she said, with my parents on fentanyl, my only 547 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: escape was to get out of the house and go 548 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 3: to school. So now I'm shutting the house with two 549 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 3: fentanyl addict parents. That is not a good scene. And 550 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 3: she said, I shut myself in my room as like 551 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: a refuge, and there was a Bible there. Now, if 552 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 3: there's any atheist parents watching and you would like to 553 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 3: propagate that for your children, I would say step one 554 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 3: would be remove all Bibles, because that book has a power. 555 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 4: Just sitting there, can you say amen? 556 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody came to church today for the first time, 557 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 3: and I met a lot of you. Why is it 558 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 3: that every godless government from the Soviet Union to the 559 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 3: CCP to North Korea till. 560 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 4: I'm down the line. Step number one. 561 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 3: Is get rid of this book because this book makes 562 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 3: you impossible to conquer. It tells you that you're created 563 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 3: in the image of God. It tells you that you 564 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 3: don't need the government, that you have a God, the 565 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You don't need health care, 566 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 3: he's your healer. You don't need government provision. He's your 567 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 3: great provider. And that there's a God that will take 568 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 3: care of you.
