Again, let me say today 30 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 4: before we get into the broadcast. As you well know, 31 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 4: we do not beg or solicit or ask for money 32 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 4: for the ministry. 33 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,639 Speaker 2: We trust God. 34 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 4: But if in the coming weeks you don't see the 35 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 4: telecast on the station you're watching us, know that there 36 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 4: weren't sufficient funds to pay the bill.

We're going 41 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 4: to stay on where we have the support, and where 42 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 4: we don't, we will move on. But I thank you 43 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 4: for those of you who support us. I thank you 44 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 4: so very much for your faithfulness. You who give are 45 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 4: touching the world. You who give are touching hearts and 46 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 4: lives throughout this nation because you love the Lord, and 47 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 4: you are grateful for the word of God that we 48 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 4: humbly try to bring to you each and every week 49 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 4: here at the Voice of Evangelism. 50 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 2: Want to go back quickly. 51 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 4: Today to Jeremiah chapter two. I still want to look 52 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 4: at verse thirty three. Why trimmest thou thy way to 53 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 4: seek love? Therefore, hast thou also taught the wicked ones 54 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,399 Speaker 4: thy way. We're still teaching on the subject matter. Has 55 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 4: America become a harlet nation? A spirit of prostitution, the 56 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,839 Speaker 4: spirit of a strumpet, the spirit of a harlot has 57 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: found its place in the church world today, Everything for 58 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 4: the most part, evolves around money when it comes to 59 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 4: religion and politics. It ought to be against the law 60 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 4: for a lobbyist to walk the halls of Congress and 61 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: try to control legislation through bribing our legislators with money 62 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 4: for their campaigns, But that happens on a regular basis. 63 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 4: And Paul the Apostle was so correct through the inspiration 64 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 4: of the Holy Ghost when he said in One Timothy 65 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 4: six and ten, for the love of money is the 66 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 4: root of all evil, which while some have coveted that 67 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 4: after have aired from the faith and pierced themselves through 68 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 4: with many sorrows. This is why we don't ask for money. 69 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 4: I'm not going to allow my heart to be pierced 70 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 4: with arrows because of my own greed or covetousness or lust. 71 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 4: That Paul said, the love of money is the root 72 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 4: of all evil, which while some have coveted, they have aired. 73 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: That word aired in the Greek means they have been 74 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 4: seduced from the faith because of money. Someone said to 75 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 4: me some time ago, said, well, you could get on 76 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 4: there and raise a lot of money. I said, that's 77 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 4: not my job. My job is to preach the word 78 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: of God. It's up to God to supply the needs. 79 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 4: Whatever God calls a man to do, God will meet 80 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 4: the needs if He's called him to do it. 81 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: Amen. God is faithful. 82 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 4: Hallelujah. He's always been faithful. Let me get back here 83 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 4: to verse thirty three, Jeremiah to thirty three, Why trimmest 84 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 4: thou that thy way to seek love? I'm to be 85 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 4: your sole lover. Jehovah was saying, Therefore, hast thou also 86 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 4: taught the wicked ones thy way. The church today is 87 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 4: not some secular entity. The church today is not some corporation. 88 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 4: The church is supposed to be the body of our 89 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 4: Lord Jesus Christ. He's to be head of the church 90 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 4: and we are members of his body, flesh of his flesh, 91 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: and bone of his bones. The apostle Paul said there 92 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 4: in Ephesus chapter five, we are not some secular, worldly entity. 93 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 4: We are the spiritual body of the Lord Jesus Christ. 94 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 4: Ephesians five and twenty five says, husbands, love your wives, 95 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 4: even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself 96 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 4: for it, that they might cleanse it with the washing 97 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 4: of water by the word of God, that he might 98 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 4: present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot 99 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 4: or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should 100 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: be holy without a blemish. Friend, the church is not 101 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 4: supposed to be spotted. The church is not supposed to 102 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 4: look like some creature in the zoo with spots, like 103 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 4: a leopard. The church is to be holy. The church 104 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 4: is to be pure. The church is to be pristine. 105 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 4: And let me say this anything and its purest form 106 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 4: is that its greatest strength. Even in the drug world, 107 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 4: they cut the cocaine, they mix things with it to 108 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 4: lessen it, to make it go further, so it doesn't 109 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 4: give the punch it normally would give. And so it 110 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 4: is in the church. When the church is cut with 111 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 4: other secular things in the church. The church begins to 112 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 4: lose its holiness and its purity, and its godliness and 113 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 4: its righteousness. You may not like some of my analogies, 114 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 4: you may not value what I'm trying to say, But 115 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 4: the devil is trying to find a way to lessen 116 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 4: the effectiveness of the Church in the earth. We are 117 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: to be salt, We are to be light. Are we 118 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 4: that for Christ today? Or have we sold out? Your 119 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 4: body is the temple of the Lord first Corinton's three, 120 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: sixteen seventeen. Know ye not that you're the temple of God, 121 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 4: and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you. If 122 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 4: any man defile the temple, himble God destroy. For the 123 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: temple of God is holy. Which temple you are? You 124 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 4: are the Tabernacle, You are the temple of God. He 125 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 4: dwells in you. You start defiling your temple, he will 126 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 4: take flight. Sampson defiled himself, and he wished not that 127 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 4: the Holy Ghost had left him. Don't think the Holy 128 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 4: Ghost won't leave your church. If you allow sin to 129 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 4: come into your church and have a place of residence, 130 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 4: we're to keep ourselves. If you were to go into 131 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 4: a bedroom, shut the doors and you would somehow vent 132 00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 4: into the bedroom smoke. Would you stay there or would 133 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 4: you get out of that smoke filled room? 134 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: No, you would leave. 135 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 4: People who commit suicide shut the garage doors. They crack 136 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 4: up their automobiles, and they sit there till they pass out, 137 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 4: and they go out and do eternity. Had you let 138 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 4: the freshness of air come in there, that would never happen. 139 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 4: You allow the freshness of the Holy Gooes to come 140 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 4: into your church. You won't die, you won't be defiled, 141 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 4: but you'll have life and have it more abundantly. 142 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 2: Amen. 143 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 4: This is the world in which we are presently living in. 144 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 4: He's going to present to himself a glorious church, not 145 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 4: having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that it 146 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 4: might be blameless unto his coming, without a blemish, without 147 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 4: anything sullying or suling his body the church. But sadly, 148 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 4: tragically we have let things come in and soil the church, 149 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 4: the body of Christ. And so when we do, God says, 150 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 4: I'm leaving, I will not remain here. I will not 151 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 4: stay here. I'm a holy God. You must be a 152 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 4: holy people if you're going to worship me and serve me. 153 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 4: Paul the Apostle in Romans chapter twelve, verse one, he says, 154 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 4: I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, 155 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 4: that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable 156 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 4: under God, and be not conformed. 157 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 5: To this world. 158 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 4: But be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, 159 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 4: that you may prove what is that good and acceptable 160 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: and perfect will of God. For I say, through the 161 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 4: grace of God given to me, to every man that 162 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 4: is among you, that a man ought not think more 163 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 4: highly of himself, but to think soberly, Think soberly, not 164 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 4: like a joint man. Think soberly, as God hath dealt 165 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 4: to every man a measure of faith, or the measure 166 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 4: of faith. You're to present your bodies this old clay jar. 167 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,359 Speaker 4: Some of us are worse than clay jars, were cracked pots. 168 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 4: We're to present our bodies a living sacrifice. Because we 169 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 4: are alive. We have choices. You don't have to present 170 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 4: your body a living sacrifice. You don't have to be holy, 171 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 4: committed to the Lord. You can live and do as 172 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 4: you please, just like Eve did. She disobeyed God as 173 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 4: she partook of the forbidden fruit, but it cost her everything. 174 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 4: Everything about the Church is supposed. 175 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: To be holy. H l y. 176 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 5: You may not believe that. 177 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 4: You may disagree with me, but the Church, the body 178 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: of Christ, must be holy. David in Psalms twenty nine 179 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 4: two said, worship the Lord and the beauty of holiness. 180 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 4: Give under the Lord the glory that is. 181 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 5: Due his holy name. He is a holy God. 182 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 4: He's worthy to be praised and honor and lauded and extolled. 183 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: But it must be with holiness. Give unto the Lord 184 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 4: the glory do his name. Worship the Lord in the 185 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 4: beauty of holiness. Holiness is purity is I said a 186 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 4: few moments ago. Anything is at its greatest strength in 187 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: its purest form. You pour clorox on blue jains, it'll 188 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 4: eat a hole them which you diluted. 189 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: You weaken it, you lessen it. 190 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 4: You can take out stains, you can clean vital sight, 191 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 4: and you can do all sorts of things with clorox. 192 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 4: You use too much of it, it becomes destructive. The 193 00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 4: Church today has polluted, diluted, and lessened the effectiveness and 194 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 4: power of the Holy Ghost of God because we've allowed 195 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 4: sin to come into the camp. 196 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: Oh. I know there'll be those who will say that's 197 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: not right. 198 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 4: I said something sometime I go about beer, having your 199 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 4: six pack, you twelve pack, your twenty four pack and defrigerator. 200 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 4: Some lady wrote me a scathing letter. You're gonna offend 201 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 4: people who drink beer. I'm glad I offend you when 202 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 4: you drink your beer. I'm glad I tear you up 203 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 4: and upset you when you drink your beer. Whatsoever you 204 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 4: do do is unto the Lord with all of your heart. 205 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 4: So you're gonna drink a pint for the Lord and 206 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 4: his name. You're gonna drink twenty four cores for his name. 207 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 4: You want to smoke your dope for his name? Wanna 208 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 4: snort you coke for his name. See, we've just we've 209 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 4: come to place we accept anything, and godliness and righteousness is. 210 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 5: Just thrown out the door. We're all all right. 211 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 2: No we're not. No, No, we're not all right. 212 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: We're deceived. That's one of the things that send does 213 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 4: to people. It deceives people. And the tragedy of deception 214 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 4: is you are wrong, but you believe somehow you're still right. 215 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 4: You heard the old cliche that guy would argue with 216 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 4: a stop sign because he thinks he's right about everything. 217 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 4: But he's mostly wrong about everything, but he thinks he's right. 218 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 4: And that's deception. And the greatest deception is self deception. 219 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 4: When you trick yourself, when you fool yourself, when you 220 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 4: quit listening to the holy ghost and you start listening 221 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 4: to your carnal mind, you start doing things you shouldn't do. 222 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 4: How do I know, James one two, be you doers 223 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 4: of the word, not hearers, only deceiving your own sells. Listen, 224 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 4: your mind has the ability to justify nearly anything. Your 225 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 4: mind can justify what you're doing. And you think you're 226 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 4: all right, you think you're in right standing with God, 227 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 4: but you're not. Somehow, the psalmist David justified in his mind, 228 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 4: I can have that woman bathing right there, and he could. 229 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 4: He was the king. He went and got her, had 230 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 4: her brought to his house. He committed adultery. It's okay, 231 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 4: something happened, you see. James one thirteen says this, Let 232 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 4: no man say when he is tempted. I am tempted 233 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 4: of God. For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither 234 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 4: temptethee any man. But every man is tempted when he's 235 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 4: drawn away of his own lust. And enticed. And when 236 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 4: ust hath conceived it, bringeth forth sin sin. When it 237 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 4: is finished, bringeth forth death. Now you watch this. He looked, 238 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 4: he coveted, he lusted, He said I will have her, 239 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 4: and he got her. He slept with her. She conceived 240 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 4: when lust half conceived it, bringeth forth sin sin. When 241 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 4: it is finished, bringeth forth death. She goes home, she 242 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 4: sends word back to the king. I am pregnant. I 243 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 4: have conceived. Now that something was conceived, it had to 244 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 4: be dealt with. And so here the carnal mind begins 245 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 4: to work. And David had Euriah brought to his castle, 246 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 4: and he got the soldier of God drawnk hoping he 247 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 4: will go back to his house and sleep with Basheba, 248 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 4: his wife, and then he will think that's his child 249 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 4: and not David's child. But see that man was a 250 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 4: man of God. Oh, David got him drunk, willfully and intentionally. 251 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 4: But when he went home, he slept on his doorstep, 252 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 4: He slept on the stoop of his house. 253 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 2: He didn't go in with his wife. 254 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 4: Now the trouble, the situation is being exacerbated. What am 255 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 4: I going to do now? What am I going to do? 256 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: Now? 257 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 4: My plans. My plot has foiled, it's been spoiled. What 258 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 4: am I gonna do? So he has Josiah his right 259 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 4: hand or excuse me, Joe Ab his right hand man. 260 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: Joeab to put Uriah at. 261 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 5: The front of the battle and pull back. 262 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 2: So he could be killed in battle. That was murder. 263 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 4: That was premeditated, predetermined murder, to kill that man because 264 00:17:55,040 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 4: David had gotten his wife pregnant. So James said, when 265 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 4: sin is finished, it bringeth forth death. 266 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 2: Death. 267 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 5: That was your first physical, literal death because of adultery 268 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 5: in David's life. Oh and it wouldn't end there. I'm 269 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 5: not going to get into all that happened. 270 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 4: Abslin's rebellion, Tamar being raped and then her brother who 271 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 4: raped her. 272 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 2: Appslince had him killed. A hata fell, one of. 273 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 4: David's valued, valued counselors gave Appsland the poor advice, take 274 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 4: your dad's ten concubines. Take them up on the same 275 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 4: roof that David looked down and saw Bathsheba. They put 276 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 4: up tents, They put the cockybines in the tents, and 277 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 4: Abslin slept with every one of David's ten concubines to humiliate, 278 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 4: to embarrass him to bring shame and disgrace and dishonor 279 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,719 Speaker 4: upon him. That's what sin does, folks. Sinn will make 280 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 4: you drop your head and such shame and disgrace. 281 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 2: Sin will embarrass you to no end. 282 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 4: It will bring you so low, it'll bring you beneath 283 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 4: the dirt itself. Because sin is destructive and it knows 284 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 4: no boundaries. It's like cancer. It will eat and eat 285 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 4: and eat until. 286 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: It destroys everything. 287 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 4: And after Hahafa Fel gives Athrom that wicked, vile, ungodly 288 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 4: counsel to sleep with David's ten concubines, he goes home. 289 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 4: The Bible says, he gets his own house in order, 290 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 4: and he hanged himself. 291 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 2: There's death. There's death. 292 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 4: When Tamar was raped by her own brother, Abstine told 293 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 4: his buddies, his friends, We're gonna have a party at 294 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 4: my house.

Abstinence emissaries went in there and they 298 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 4: stabbed him to death. There was another death.

Don't 318 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 2: ever think that. 319 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 4: Don't ever think that you can sin habitually and think 320 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 4: it will always remain concealed where nobody knows it.

I read the 324 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 4: other day of a Baptist pastor in Alabama or Georgia, 325 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 4: was dressing up like a transvestike, putting pictures on the 326 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 4: video on the internet, and he got caught as the 327 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 4: pastor of his church, and he committed suicide because of 328 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 4: the shame and the disgrace and the dishonor and the 329 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 4: reproach he bought upon him, his wife, his children, and. 330 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 5: The local church that grieves the Holy ghost. 331 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 2: Sin. 332 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 5: When it is finished, James said, brings forth death. 333 00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 2: That's sin. 334 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 4: And that pastor's life caused him to take his life 335 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 4: with a gun. That's the only way out he felt. 336 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 4: But had he fallen on his knees, God would have 337 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 4: forgiven him because God loves unconditionally. No man has a 338 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 4: right to come to God except through Jesus Christ.
