1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: all the earth Psalm et nine, O, Lord, my God,

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: there is no other name above the name of Jesus.

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Your name carries such weight that no other name can

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: compare to it. Jesus Christ is Lord. No devil in

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: hell can stand against the name of Jesus. How excellent

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: is your name. When I pray in your name, it's

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: the same as if you said it, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: How beautiful is your name. In the name of Jesus,

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Demons flee, the sick, are healed, and salvation comes to

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: those in darkness. I will sing your praises and exalt

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: your name all the days of my life.

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:56,560

00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: Waters Church is a multi site, multi generation community of

Speaker 3: faith on the East Coast of America. Now for a

20
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: message from our pastor.

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: I get acquired why the devil wants your kids? And

22
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 4: this message might ruffle some feathers today and I don't

23
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 4: have this bowloaded, and I did some recording for the

24
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 4: other locations.

25
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: It was loaded.

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 4: That's because nobody was in the audience, and so I

27
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 4: didn't want a lawsuit for our church, so I didn't

28
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: load it.

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: But imagine, if you will, there's an arrow.

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: This is the image that the Scripture gives us of children,

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 4: arrows in the hands of a warrior. And some of

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 4: you got to get a hold of this concept when

33
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: it comes to your child out raising and teaching and

34
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: elevating them into responsible and godly adults. Is We've got

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 4: an opportunity to pierce the darkness of the next generation

36
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 4: with the children in our care today.

37
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: Amen, And so take out your notes.

38
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 4: We gave them to you on the way in Target

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: Acquired Part one.

40
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: Why the devil wants.

41
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 4: You kids, want you to, want you to fill the

42
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 4: blanks and follow along with us. I want you first

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 4: in all locations. Some of you you can't do this,

44
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: and I understand that, but I want you to.

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: I want you to look at my children.

46
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 4: And the reason why I want you to look at

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 4: my children is because my children are the tests of

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: whether or not I belong here and I mean not

49
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: in the church, but here teaching you God's word, because

50
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: there are scriptural requirements for pastors in One Timothy three,

51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: in Titus chapter one, in First Peter chapter five, and

52
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: particularly and in One Timothy three, one of the requirements

53
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: for a man to teach and feed God's people is

54
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: that his children are submissive, that they don't have the

55
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 4: reputation of being disobedient or rebellious, and that he manages

56
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 4: the pastor manages his house well, because it says if

57
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: he can't manage his house well, how can he manage

58
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: the house of God. That's one of the requirements. That's

59
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: how you get to test if I.

60
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: Am able to do this.

61
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: Child, my children, by God's grace, thus far served the Lord.

62
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: My daughter, who was working for Chick fil A, serving

63
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: the Lord's chicken, gave it up and.

64
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: Came to work for the church. I'm thankful for that.

65
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: My son works for the church down here at Apollo Beach.

66
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: My daughter's up in North Attleborough working with kids and

67
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: all kinds of volunteer ministries up there. And my third

68
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: child is seeking the Lord and serving him and too

69
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 4: young to get involved right now. But we're thanking God

70
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: for the grace that has upon us. I don't say

71
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 4: that to brag, But I do say that to say this,

72
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: I'm qualified.

73
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: To teach you about this. And if you listen to me.

74
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 4: I believe that God will empower you to raise your

75
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: children to fear the Lord will into their adult ages. Amen, somebody,

76
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: And so we got to understand something about this deal,

77
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: this kid's deal. Here, here's the deal. We are at war.

78
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: We are at war for the minds and hearts of children,

79
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 4: especially in this modern age in which we live. There's

80
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 4: a passage of scripture that talks about the believer's warfare.

81
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 4: It's found in Ephesian chapter six. It's on your notes,

82
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 4: also on the screen. This might be familiar to you.

83
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 4: It says, we wrestle not against flesh and blood. We'd

84
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: wrestle against what. We wrestle against rulers, authorities, what cosmic powers,

85
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: over what the present darkness, against the spiritual forces of

86
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 4: evil in the heavenly realms. If you believe that there

87
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 4: is a spiritual warfare, not just the physical reality of

88
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: the faith, come on say, amen, we're fighting spiritual forces.

89
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 4: His demons are real spiritual forces in the evil realm.

90
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: These are real things.

91
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: Now, what's ironic about Ephesian Chapter six, verse twelve is

92
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 4: that it comes on the heels of Paul the Apostle

93
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 4: teaching that church about the codes of.

94
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: Conduct for households.

95
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: If you've got a Bible, you can go there and

96
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: you can.

97
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: Look at it.

98
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: Just back up to Ephesians chapter five, and it gives

99
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 4: us codes of conduct for the Christian home. It talks

100
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 4: about wives submitting to their husbands, husbands being the head

101
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 4: of the wife.

102
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: That's from one Corinthian chapter eleven.

103
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: There is an authority in the home, and it is

104
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: on the man's shoulders to bear that responsibility of authority

105
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: for the sake of his children and his wife. And

106
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: so men, you can't just sit idly back. You can't

107
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: just watch your wife go to church. You can't just

108
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 4: get into football and all these things and build yourself

109
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 4: a wonderful career. You've got to lead your family in

110
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 4: the things of God. And your wife comes under that purpose,

111
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 4: and she supports you, and she submissed to you, and

112
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 4: you take ownership of your home. And then it says

113
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 4: the man should love his wife and lay down his

114
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 4: life as Christ did, and sanctify his wife and purify

115
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: his wife wies by living an.

116
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: Example for her so she can see.

117
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: His godliness and follows suit. And let me just tell you,

118
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 4: every woman wants a godly man to set that example

119
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: for her home.

120
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: That is a fact.

121
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you men, if you are a godly man.

122
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: You will have a submissive wife.

123
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 4: And then the children chapter six, verse one must obey

124
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: their parents, and the fathers must instruct their children.

125
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: So all these codes.

126
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 4: Of conduct Ephesians five, Ephesians six. And then on the

127
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 4: heels of that, Paul says, and by the way, we're

128
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 4: at war. Where at war the enemy is gonna do

129
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 4: everything in his power.

130
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: Some you've got to get a hold of this. He's

131
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: gonna do everything in his power to subvert, to disorient, to.

132
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: Distort the codes of conduct.

133
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: For the Christian home.

134
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 4: He's coming for your marriage, He's coming for your children,

135
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: because he knows if he can get your marriage and

136
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 4: your children, he can have a destructive influence of intergenerational

137
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 4: causation for decades to come. And I say all that

138
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 4: to say you this, we are at war, So write

139
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: this down.

140
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: In your notes. The home is the primary target of

141
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: the devil.

142
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 4: Our school systems fill children with a sense of confusion

143
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: like never before have I seen this. I was raised

144
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 4: in public school. I would never put my kids in

145
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 4: public school right now. Never they confuse children. Unfortunately, some

146
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 4: people can't afford it. So this is why we're doing

147
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: this series before back to the school season, so that

148
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: you are armed and you are ready to take ownership

149
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 4: of your children.

150
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: But today's kids are.

151
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: Going to schools and they are flooded with misinformation and

152
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 4: disinformation and malinformation and the devil's lies about gender, about sexuality,

153
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: about pride, about all these all these ideologies that are

154
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: destructive to the human condition.

155
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: And then our politicians fill our.

156
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: Children with a sense of entitlement that it's the government's

157
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 4: shop to take care.

158
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: Of you from the cradle to the grave.

159
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: And so kids want freestyff and they want someone to

160
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: take care of them. They're not told to take responsibility

161
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: for their lives. You can't have rights without responsibility, amen.

162
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 4: I mean you hear the calls, this is my right.

163
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: I want my rights, women's rights, children's rights, men's right.

164
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: Nobody's calling about men's rights. But you get the idea.

165
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: Everybody wants their rights. Nobody's crying out about responsibility. You

166
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: can't have rights without responsibility, and so politicians they flood

167
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 4: their minds with a sense of entitlement. And then TikTok,

168
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 4: if you allow TikTok to raise your kids, and I

169
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 4: pray that you don't, will fill their minds with a confusion,

170
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: will fill young men with attention deficit disorder, will fill

171
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: young women with depression, anxiety, and frustration about their body image.

172
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: And so the devil is doing all that he can

173
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 4: and every facet of our society to destroy the next generation.

174
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 4: And in case you think the sexual identity madness is

175
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: overthink again.

176
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: In the state of North Carolina, this past week, by.

177
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 4: God's grace, the legislature of that state overrode the veto

178
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 4: of the governor. The governor that state, he's a Democrat,

179
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: and he vetoed a law that the legislators.

180
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: Tried to pass.

181
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: The law defined two sexes as the only genders in

182
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 4: the state.

183
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: But it went further than that.

184
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 4: It protected girls from competing with boys in sports.

185
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: But it went further than that.

186
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 4: It protected young girls from being coerced to participate in

187
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 4: the pornographic industry. It also protected miners from surgical procedures

188
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: of gender transition, and protected state funds from being used

189
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 4: to pay for the gender transition of incarcerated prisoners, and

190
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 4: the governor of North Carolina vetoed that law. He didn't

191
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 4: want it on the books. My friends, we are at.

192
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: War, and if you want to be ignorant, be my guest.

193
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 4: But you gotta fight for your children.

194
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 2: And I intend on doing it for you.

195
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 4: And I intend on calling all the husbands and wives

196
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 4: and all the educators and all the people.

197
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: In this church.

198
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 4: We are gonna fight for the next generation. And we're

199
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 4: gonna tell the devil to get back because we've got

200
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 4: authority in the name of Jesus. We're at war and

201
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 4: this is serious, and this is on my heart. Maybe

202
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: you've never heard the name Michelle T. But I want

203
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 4: to tell you who she is today. You might not

204
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 4: have heard of her, but she might have heard of

205
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 4: the organization she started in twenty fifteen. The organization she

206
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 4: started is called Drag Queen Story Hour.

207
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: Drag Queen Story.

208
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: Hours spread across the country, spread around the world like

209
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 4: a wildfire.

210
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: But let's back up to the story.

211
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 4: She was raised, believe it or not, in Chelsea, Massachusetts,

212
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: North Attleborough, NORWA. And she left home when she was twenty.

213
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 4: She moved in with her then girlfriend, she identified as lesbian.

214
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 4: She found out that her girlfriend living girlfriend was making

215
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: a lot of money in sex work, so she got

216
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: involved as sex work her. So she was a prostitute

217
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: until they broke up in two thousand and four and

218
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 4: she moved across the.

219
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: Country to San Francisco.

220
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 4: She got into a pride and queer oriented spoken word

221
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: group and she toured America in Canada for many years.

222
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 4: Long story short, Eventually she wrote a memoir. The memoir

223
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 4: became a book, the book became a movie. She went

224
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 4: around the country for a little while doing.

225
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 2: A show called City Witches, and she.

226
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: Even identified as a wish and she decided to find

227
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 4: witches throughout the cities of America. By the way, it's

228
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: amazing how oftentimes the sexual deviancy and occult practices go together.

229
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: It's amazing to see that. In twenty fifteen, she struggled

230
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: to conceive.

231
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: A child through IVF because she was married quote unquote

232
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 4: to a woman. Finally, she gave birth to her son,

233
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: and at the age of one, she brought him to

234
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: the library and she felt that the library that she

235
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 4: brought up to was two in her words, hetero normative.

236
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 4: She came up with the idea of having men dressed

237
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 4: as ugly women to read stories about gender transition and

238
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 4: homosexuality to children ages three to eleven. That's a thing

239
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 4: that happens in public libraries across this country to this day,

240
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 4: with the exception of one state, Tennessee. Come on Tennessee, hallelujah.

241
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 4: They outlawed the practice a couple of years ago. But

242
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: you know what I think about this. I read her story,

243
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 4: I read about her life, and I think that we

244
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 4: never would have heard about Michelle te or drag Queen

245
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: story hour if she had had a godly father. You

246
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: know what the catalyst of her life was. The catalyst

247
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 4: that she talks about. She found out when she was

248
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: a teenager that her stepfather, who she was living with

249
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 4: with her mother, had drilled a hole in the wall

250
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 4: of her bedroom to spy on her while she was

251
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: growing up. She confronted him and he denied it for years,

252
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: and when he finally admitted it, her mother amazingly stayed

253
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 4: with him and she was done with them, and the

254
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 4: rest is history. I wonder what kind of world we

255
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 4: would have today. Just think about it if that Michelle

256
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: t that precious young girl had had a father who

257
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 4: wasn't a pervert, but was a godly man who raised

258
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 4: her in the fear, in the admonition of the Lord

259
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: we are at war.

260
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: Maybe you've never heard of the name doctor Spock. Maybe

261
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: you have.

262
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about the guy with the funny ears.

263
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: On Star Trek.

264
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: I'm talking about doctor Benjamin S.

265
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 2: Fock. He was a pediatrician and.

266
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 4: Then a psychoanalyst of children. Back in the nineteen sixties,

267
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: he wrote a best selling book on raising children.

268
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: And in that book, that book.

269
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 4: Sold hundreds of millions of copies and went around the world.

270
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 4: And in that book he told parents, stopped spanking, stop punishing,

271
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 4: stop saying no, your children know what's good. It's your

272
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 4: job to correct them, but to cultivate that in them

273
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 4: absolute nonsense.

274
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: And it spread around this country.

275
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 4: Parents stopped taking authority over their children. They decided to

276
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: befriend their children. They became permissive parents. They stepped out

277
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 4: of their god given role, and children ran wild. By

278
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 4: the way, doctor Spock's first wife went clinically insane. He

279
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: then married a woman forty three years younger than he.

280
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: She took control of his life. Basically. He once ran

281
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 4: for president on a socialist ticket promising free abortions and

282
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: gay marriage across the country, and he himself admitted later

283
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: in life that he probably made a mistake emphasizing that

284
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: parents shouldn't say no too much, to the point that

285
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 4: he created a culture of permissive parenting that is probably destructive.

286
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 4: And I would say that is the least of his problems.

287
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 4: But I think about his story too. He was raised

288
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: by a domineering probably a woman who went too far

289
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: in disciplining her children. His mother's practice of disciplining your

290
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 4: children was to lock them in a darkened closet, and

291
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: amazingly astonishing enough, one time she locked one of his

292
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 4: siblings in that closet and forgot he was there and

293
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 4: left for New York.

294
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: I wonder what would have happened. Are you hearing us if.

295
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 4: Doctor Spock had had a God fearing, God honoring mother

296
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 4: in his life. My point is to show you that

297
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 4: we are talking about intergenerational consequences from parents who don't

298
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: live in their God given orientation, their God given deathiny,

299
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 4: their divine right to take authority in the home, to

300
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 4: love and raise their children in the fear and the

301
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 4: instruction of the Lord Jesus Christ. And we have the

302
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 4: capacity in our church to change the culture by raising

303
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 4: godly kids.

304
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: If you believe it, say amen.

305
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 4: But we're gonna have to get some deconstruction into your

306
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: mind before we get into construction again. There's gonna be

307
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: a series of messages come to every single one. I

308
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 4: want you to write this down at the top of

309
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 4: your nose. Permissive parenting creates long term problems, creates long

310
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: term problems. We've been told that we need to listen

311
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 4: to children, we need to get in touch with their feelings,

312
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 4: we need to understand their truth. All these nonsensical things

313
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 4: that are disabling parents, that are taking authority out of

314
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 4: the hands of parents, when the Bible says the exact opposite.

315
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: The Bible says, we do not leave children to their own.

316
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 4: Proverbs twenty nine, verse fifteen says, a child left to

317
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: himself brings shame to his mother. You can't let a

318
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 4: child determine their own future. This is the insanity of transgenderism.

319
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 4: A child comes to their mother and says I'm a boy,

320
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 4: I'm a girl, and the parents are now instructed to

321
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: follow that.

322
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: You know, we have one of our staff members.

323
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 4: I won't tell you who it is, but he works

324
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 4: for us, and he showed me a picture of his,

325
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 4: you know, three year old son the other day, and

326
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 4: he had a cardboard box on his head, and he.

327
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: Said, here's what he did. He came to us with

328
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: the cardboard box in.

329
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 4: His head and he said, Daddy, I'm a mailbox.

330
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: Now.

331
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 4: What our staff member did not do was affirm his delusion,

332
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 4: because the child is three years old. Amen, you have

333
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 4: to understand the He said. You can't leave children to

334
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 4: determine their identity.

335
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: That is your job. Parents.

336
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 4: Prover seventeen twenty five says, a foolish son is a

337
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 4: grief to his father, and bitterness to him to her

338
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 4: who bore him.

339
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: And then this idea that children naturally.

340
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 4: Are good is also anathema to Holy scripture. Children are

341
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 4: not naturally good friends. They are not good people that

342
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 4: you need to protect in their goodness. They are evil people.

343
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 4: They are destructive people, they are selfish people. It's not

344
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 4: a precious baby that is a diaper in a diaper.

345
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: Come on, somebody, you.

346
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 4: Need to correct, You need to train, you need to oppose,

347
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: You need to fight out the devil from that child.

348
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 2: Proverbs twenty two to.

349
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: Fifteen says folly is bound up where in the heart

350
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 4: of a child, every child born is filled with folly,

351
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: including this guy. I was foolish when I was a child.

352
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 4: By God's grace, I had a parent who wasn't afraid

353
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 4: to spank me. I had a father whose hand I

354
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 4: lived in great fear of. My father worked late. My

355
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 4: mom was old school. She bare bottomed me friends bare bottom.

356
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 4: I knew I was in trouble by the way. I

357
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: knew I was in real trouble when my mom would

358
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 4: say the dreaded words, wait till your father gets home.

359
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: Then I knew I'd better straighten up. Man.

360
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: I became a holy priest right in that moment, but.

361
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 4: I could not undo the punishment that was coming my way.

362
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 4: This is the responsibility of parents, and I want to

363
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 4: give parents their.

364
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 2: Birth right back.

365
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: I want to give you your authority back. I want

366
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 4: you to hear with scripture, not culture, has to say

367
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,239
Speaker 4: about who you are. Because parents listen to me, you

368
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 4: are worthy of honor, respect, and obedience. In the top

369
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 4: ten commandments, the first four. The first four are about

370
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: our relationship with God. No other gods, no graven images,

371
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 4: don't take his name in vain, honor.

372
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 2: The Sabbath, and.

373
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 4: Then the second five are about our relationship to each other.

374
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 4: Don't murder, don't steal, don't lie, don't commit adultrey, don't

375
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 4: bear false witness, don't cove it.

376
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: But the one right.

377
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 4: In the middle, does anybody know the one right in

378
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 4: the middle of those two tables, honor your father and

379
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 4: mother is as if God's saying this, you get your

380
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 4: relationship with me right, and you get your relationship with

381
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: others right.

382
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: But the thing that ties it together, the.

383
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 4: Thing that holds those two axes together in culture, is

384
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 4: that you honor parents you create and a culture.

385
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 2: It's about a culture of honor in respect. And Ephesian chapter.

386
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 4: Six says, children obey your parents in the Lord and parents.

387
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: You have to teach your children to obey you.

388
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 4: If you refuse to discipline, you will lose them. I

389
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 4: think about David, who refused to discipline Absolom and created

390
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: a cultural rebellion.

391
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: Against his father.

392
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 4: I think of Eli, the priest, who refused to correct

393
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 4: his children who were sleeping with women in the temple

394
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 4: and taking the best offerings for themselves. And the Bible

395
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 4: says Eli and his two sons all died on the

396
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 4: same day I think about Isaac and Rebecca, who played

397
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 4: favorites with Jacob and Esau, and they created a civil

398
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 4: war between those two sons and the nations that came

399
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 4: from them that lives until this day. Permissive parenting creates

400
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 4: long term problems in our society. Now we come here

401
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 4: to Psalm one twenty seven. Psalm one twenty seven is

402
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 4: an ascension psalm is that the back half of your

403
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: book of Psalms, the book the Psalms, by the way,

404
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: if anybody is interested in this, the Psalms were the

405
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 4: hymn book of Israel. These were the song books of

406
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 4: the ancient nation, and they would sing the ascension Psalms

407
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 4: on the way to worship at the temple three times

408
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 4: a year as a nation. And what's interesting about Psalm

409
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 4: one twenty seven is that it's on the It comes

410
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 4: after Psalm one twenty six. If you've got your bibles open,

411
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: you can look with me at Sol one twenty six,

412
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 4: where it says this, This is that when the Lord

413
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 4: restored the fortune design we were like those who dreamed.

414
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: Our mouth was filled to laughter. Are tongues with shots

415
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 4: of joy. What they're talking about in Sol one twenty

416
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 4: six is that they were coming back out of exile

417
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 4: in Babylon back to the land of Israel. They had

418
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 4: been cast off into the land of Babylon because of

419
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 4: rebellions to the Lord.

420
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: Now a case.

421
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 4: Could be made that the reason why Israel lost its land,

422
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: lost its freedom was because listen to me, parents fail

423
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: killed to discipline their children, to teach them what was

424
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 4: right by the way. Ephesian chapter six, verse four says, fathers,

425
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 4: don't provoke your children, but train them in the discipline

426
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: and the fear of the Lord. And you've got to

427
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 4: teach your children about the Lord. You've got to teach

428
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 4: your children about Jesus. Look what it says in Judges

429
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: chapter two about the generation after Joshua says this there

430
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 4: is there was a generation that was gathered to their fathers,

431
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 4: and there arose another.

432
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: Generation after them. Look at this line.

433
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 4: Who did not know what did not know the Lord

434
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 4: and he did and they did not know what the

435
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 4: Lord had done for Israel.

436
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: Ye okay, parents, listen to me very carefully.

437
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 4: If God, if the Lord is important to you, I

438
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 4: am begging you to talk to your children about it.

439
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: Amen.

440
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 4: Whatever he's done, whatever you've learned, whatever trial he's brought

441
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 4: you through whatever optacle he's brought down in your life,

442
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 4: and especially if you're baptized and you're born again and

443
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: you love him. You've got to tell your children these things.

444
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 4: You can't just tell them about sports. You can't just

445
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 4: tell them about industry. You can't just tell them about beauty.

446
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 4: You gotta tell them about what has the Lord done

447
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,239
Speaker 4: for you. And Israel failed and the generation grew up

448
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 4: without knowing what God could do. When our children don't

449
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 4: know what God can do, they will run after what

450
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 4: the world offers them.

451
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: So saw one.

452
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 4: Twenty seven, they're coming back Asssion Salm, They're coming back

453
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 4: to worship. And here's the theme. I want you to

454
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 4: fill in the blanks here. The theme of Sawm one

455
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 4: twenty seven is this, if God is not at the

456
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 4: center of the family, it doesn't matter what society builds.

457
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: That's the theme of his psalm.

458
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 4: If God is not involved, If God's not in the

459
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 4: center of your home, your home is waiting for disaster

460
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 4: to happen. If God is not at the center of

461
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 4: your industry, industry will not survive intergenerationally. So here's how

462
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 4: this palm tells us. This verse one unless the Lord

463
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 4: builds the what circle.

464
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 2: The word house.

465
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 4: And then it says, those who build a labor in

466
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 4: what vain circle the word vain. And then it says,

467
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 4: unless the Lord watches the city, the watchman watches in vain.

468
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: Three times in the first two verses of this text,

469
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 4: the word vanity shows up. Vain is the word for emptiness, worthlessness.

470
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 4: There's a whole book about it called Ecclesiastes. Solomon wrote

471
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: it later in life, and he said, look, I built

472
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 4: all these towers, I wrote all these poems, I had

473
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 4: all these wisdom, I chased all these pleasures, and it's

474
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 4: all vanity without the Lord. Life without the Lord is empty.

475
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: This is what Psalm seven I say.

476
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 4: And now now the question is is it talking about

477
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: the physical structure house or is it talking about the

478
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 4: internal home in which the structure that dwells in the structure.

479
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 2: And the answer to that question is both.

480
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 4: We need the Lord to build our homes physically. We

481
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 4: need the Lord to build our home spiritually.

482
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 2: Amen. But I pray that you all have a beautiful home.

483
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: But a beautiful home with an infighting family is hell

484
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: on earth.

485
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 4: A family that is at odds with each other, A

486
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 4: family that can't get along with each other, family that

487
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 4: attacks each other and vilifies each other. It doesn't matter

488
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 4: how beautiful your home is. If your home is not

489
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 4: filled with the faith and the purpose and the plan

490
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 4: and the peace of God, no beautiful home can undo

491
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 4: the hate and animosity of interrelation, interrelational challenges.

492
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: So point number one in your nose. Write this down.

493
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: The home without the Lord will be hollow. The home

494
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 4: without the Lord will be hollow.

495
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: What I'm trying to tell you is it's not going

496
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: to bring joy to your life.

497
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 4: Now, You've got to fill your home with the Lord.

498
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 4: Let me say that again so I know, so I

499
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 4: know you're getting it, so that I know you're awaken.

500
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 4: If you agree, say amen. You've got to fill your

501
00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 4: home with the Lord. Parents, this is on you. You

502
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 4: can't just fill your home with sports. You can't just

503
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 4: fill your home with Netflix. You gotta fill your home

504
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 4: with Jesus. Put things on the wall that talk about Jesus.

505
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 4: Put things on magnets on refrigerator that focus.

506
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 2: Your minds and your attention on the Lord and his word.

507
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: Have a Bible somewhere on the coffee table. Let's get

508
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 4: back to old school religions.

509
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: Somebody come. Have a Bible out so that the.

510
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 4: Kids can see it, and it's sitting there and it's

511
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 4: not dusty on some bend somewhere in a room that

512
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 4: you never enter. Have the Bible as a centerpiece of

513
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 4: your home, so that your children know. This is important

514
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 4: to my parents.

515
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 2: And by the way, bring them to church. Oh no,

516
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: you don't do that thing.

517
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 4: Please don't tell me you're one of those parents that

518
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 4: ask permission to bring your kids to church.

519
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 2: And some parents will say to me, and I'll still

520
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: get an email every time I say this stuff, I'll

521
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 2: still get an email. I've had people leave the church

522
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: over this.

523
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 4: I've had a Google review, a nafty one star Google

524
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 4: review because I said this. You absolutely have the right

525
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 4: to expect the children who live with you in your

526
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 4: home to go to church with you without excuse. That's

527
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 4: some parents will tell me, well, I don't want them

528
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 4: to resent the church, so I don't force them. You

529
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 4: don't do that with anything else that's important to your children.

530
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 2: Do you do that with school? The school bus is

531
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: coming out of the street.

532
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 4: Well, I don't want them to resent the school, so

533
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 4: I give them a choice as to whether or not

534
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 4: they want to beat delinquents, or they want to know stuff.

535
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 4: Do you do that with homework? Do you do that

536
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 4: with cleaning up their room? You don't give children a choice.

537
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 4: You make the choice for them. Children don't know what

538
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 4: choice to make. They never know what choice to make.

539
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 4: If they ever do, know what choice to make, raise

540
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 4: your hand and shot, hallelujah. You've just witnessed a miracle.

541
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 4: A kids, You not even today. My child, my youngest,

542
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 4: and I love him to death. Well, let me just

543
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: tell you something. I have to beg him to do

544
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 4: fun stuff.

545
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: Fun. The other day I said, let's go do this.

546
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 2: I don't want to.

547
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 4: He wanted to be on his video game. He wanted

548
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 4: to play with his thumbs for hours.

549
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: I said, no, you're coming. No no choice.

550
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 4: Everybody say that after me, no choice.

551
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 2: Get get good at saying no choice.

552
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 4: By the way, next week, I have seven statements every

553
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 4: child needs to hear from their parents. Come next week.

554
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 4: Seven statements. One of them is no choice. No it's not,

555
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: but tell you you got no choice. And they dragged him,

556
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 4: kicking and screaming to go have fun with dad. That's

557
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 4: because these video games are so addictive, scientifically designed to

558
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 4: be addictive, and I brought him home by the way.

559
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 4: On the way home, I realized that he had fun

560
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 4: with Dad, and I pointed out to him that I

561
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 4: was right and it was gonna be fun.

562
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: Your parents.

563
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 4: You got to you gotta learn how to do that

564
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 4: when you when you're right, and you're proven right, you

565
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 4: gotta rub it in their face as much as you.

566
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: I told you. Listen to me. I know what I'm doing.

567
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 4: This is why Joshua says that Joshua twenty four verse fifteen,

568
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 4: how's for me and my house?

569
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: We?

570
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, circle we though, because Joshua is speaking for his house.

571
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: Hello, I'm speaking for my house. We will serve the Lord.

572
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 4: Now, if you don't want to go to church, if

573
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 4: you don't want to go with us to church, kids.

574
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: You got a choice.

575
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 4: Find yourself a roommate and move in with them, Find

576
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 4: yourself an apartment and find yourself alternative accommodations.

577
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: It's a free country. Go wherever you please.

578
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: But in our South, we go to church and it's

579
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 4: non negotiable. And I'm telling you something that will pay dividends.

580
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: You might have to.

581
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 4: You might have to drag him, kicking and screaming to church.

582
00:29:55,160 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 4: But I guarantee you they will thank you eventually. You know,

583
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 4: the hard part about parenting is that is that waiting game.

584
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: That really is the hard part of parenting.

585
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 4: The waiting game from making them do what you know

586
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 4: they should do to getting a thank you for making

587
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 4: them do what you.

588
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: Knew that that they should do.

589
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 4: Sometimes that takes thirty years. Come on, somebody, some of.

590
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: Your like, I still haven't seen it. Thank you, Just

591
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: wait for it.

592
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 4: But you've gotta speak for your home.

593
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: Number two. Write this down.

594
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 4: The city without godly homes will be helpless. The city

595
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 4: without godly homes will be helpless. Now I want you

596
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 4: to think about this. What is a city. A city

597
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 4: is not tall buildings. Here's the simple definition of a city.

598
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: A city is a group of homes.

599
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 4: This all city is a group of families, a group

600
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 4: of you know, dociles, and the godliness of those homes

601
00:30:54,200 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 4: in that city will determine the values of that city.

602
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: That's why we have blue states in red states.

603
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 4: That's why we have blue areas and red areas even

604
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,239
Speaker 4: in those states, because the value systems of those homes

605
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 4: the majority, determine the value systems of those areas.

606
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: So you've got to understand.

607
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 4: This is how God shapes society through the home. And

608
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 4: what we do in this church is we preach the gospel.

609
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 4: We bring people to Jesus so that Jesus, not us,

610
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 4: Jesus and the Holy Spirit can change them. And if

611
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 4: they're changed by God's grace, their home gets changed, and

612
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 4: then their neighborhood gets impacted, and then their town gets impacted,

613
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 4: their state gets impacted, and we change a nation.

614
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: How by changing the home.

615
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 4: The scriptures clear, if you've got a city without godliness,

616
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 4: godly homes, you got a city that's just waiting for destruction.

617
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 4: Unless the Lord watches over the city. The washermen stays

618
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 4: awake in vain. Now, let's take a look at verse two.

619
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 4: It says, in vain, you rise early and go to

620
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 4: late rest, go late to rest, eating the bread of

621
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 4: anxious toil.

622
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: God wants you to sleep. God wants you to rest.

623
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: What he's talking about here is the anxious ambition of

624
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 4: secular parenting. The anxious ambition of secular parenting is that

625
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 4: I really hope and pray that my kids get good

626
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 4: grades so that they can go to a good college,

627
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 4: so they can get into a good company, so that

628
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: they can make a good salary, and they can be

629
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 4: well off and do better than me in life. That's

630
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 4: the secular ambition. Let me just tell you something. There's

631
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 4: nothing wrong with any of those things except if you

632
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 4: put that on the throne of your home. And God

633
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 4: has nothing to do with it. So that you chase listen,

634
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 4: look what he said. You get up early, you go

635
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: to bed late. You're tired all the time. Why because

636
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 4: you're work, work, and working for the secular dream, the

637
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 4: societal dream, the American dream, and is all in vain

638
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 4: without the Lord Fris. Listen to me very carefully. The

639
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 4: reason why God brings you to church, the reason why

640
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 4: God wants you in the house, is that you are

641
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 4: equipped to raise your children faithfully and strongly in God's word,

642
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 4: and you can shape culture through those children.

643
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: That God has put in your hands.

644
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 4: So just to summarize verse one and verse two.

645
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: And again this is deconstruction.

646
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 4: But to summarize verse one and verse two, I want

647
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 4: you to look at this, put this on your nose.

648
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 4: The secular blueprint for society is families without faith, cities

649
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: without safety, and workers without rest. Families without faith, cities

650
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 4: without safety, and workers without rest, and by the way,

651
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 4: we've got those things right now, because America wants to

652
00:33:55,320 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 4: play a dangerous game. America wants safety, but that America doesn't.

653
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: Want the Lord.

654
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 4: Friends, you can't have both ways. You don't get safety

655
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 4: without the Lord. And in nineteen sixty three, our country

656
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 4: decided it was smarter than God, and the Supreme Court

657
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 4: of the United States decided that prayer and scripture should

658
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 4: be taken out of public schools.

659
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, these were.

660
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 4: Institutions in our educational processes. I'll back up even further

661
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 4: to the sixteen hundreds when public education was started in

662
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 4: Rehope with Massachusetts under a law that the legislature of

663
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 4: Massachusetts pass called that old the.

664
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 2: Looter Satan Act.

665
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 4: It was. It was a law pass to publicly educate

666
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 4: children in the Bible because the Pilgrims and the Puritans

667
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 4: knew that children needed guidance.

668
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: What I'm trying to tell you is the reason we even.

669
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 4: Have public education is because Christians wanted to teach their

670
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 4: children about Jesus. So you fast forward the Church, the Bible,

671
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 4: the scriptures, prayer has always had always been a part

672
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 4: of our society in public schools, and an evil wicked

673
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 4: atheist named Madeline Murray O'Hare in Baltimore decided to take

674
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 4: her school's district to court because she didn't want her

675
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 4: son praying in public schools.

676
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: And she won. She went all the way to the

677
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: Supreme Court. She won.

678
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 4: The Bible was removed, prayer was removed. And what did

679
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 4: we get in exchange? What's filling our schools today?

680
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: Violence?

681
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 4: Do you know that there were two hundred and thirty

682
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 4: four school shootings last year alone?

683
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: Thirty nine kids died, two hundred and thirty four. There's

684
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 2: so many school shoots they don't even talk about.

685
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 4: It on the news anymore. It's just part of the culture.

686
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 4: What else is in our schools? Sexual deviancy. We've replaced

687
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 4: the Christian faith with the LGBTQIA faith. That's all that

688
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 4: we've done. What else is in schools anxiety?

689
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: Depression?

690
00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 4: And here's another thing, over medication. We can't we can't

691
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 4: take his notes, so we just drugged them up, We

692
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 4: anesthetize them, we put downers in them, and then we

693
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 4: put uppers in them when they're depressed. And they're on

694
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 4: more drugs now than ever before. So we exchange God

695
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 4: for medication. Violence, and sexual deviancy, and every Christian should

696
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 4: be demanding their money back. That was a terrible exchange.

697
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 4: We need to we need to raise kids to understand

698
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 4: the battle is real and the enemy is trying with

699
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 4: every power in his arsenal to undermine parental authority and

700
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 4: godly homes, and we can fight back in Jesus name.

701
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: So this brings me to point number three.

702
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 4: Society will change, society will survive through godly children.

703
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 2: Now, the interesting thing about Psalm one.

704
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 4: Twenty seven is that most commentators think it's actually two

705
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 4: psalms that were squished together by some later you know,

706
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 4: biblical editor.

707
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: That's not true.

708
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 4: The reason why they think is two psalms squished into

709
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 4: one is because the first the first two verses seem

710
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 4: to have nothing to do with last three verses.

711
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 2: But that's not true.

712
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 4: He's talking about the home, he's talking about the city,

713
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 4: and then he talks about children. Because here's how you

714
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 4: help the home and you empower the city by raising

715
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 4: godly kids. We have water sharch to listen to me.

716
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 4: Every location. We have the future of our communities in

717
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 4: our buildings being taught about Jesus. Right now, it's not

718
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 4: babysitting waters kids is not babysitting waters kids is teaching

719
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 4: and raising the next generation to fear the Lord Jesus Christ.

720
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 4: So three points under this litter a. Children are God's long.

721
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 2: Term plan to save society. Long term plan.

722
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 4: I want you to back up with me again, back

723
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 4: to verse three. The children are a heritage from the Lord.

724
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 4: And then this word the root of the womb. Now,

725
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 4: any botanist.

726
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: Will tell you this.

727
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 4: It takes a long time to go from planting the

728
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 4: seed of a tree to harvesting the fruit of that tree.

729
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 2: It takes a long time.

730
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 4: If you want to do it with an apple seed,

731
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 4: it takes about five years. If you want to do

732
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 4: it with the avocado seed, it takes up to fifteen

733
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 4: years from planting to get a an avocado off that tree.

734
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: It takes a long time. Right, This is the view.

735
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 4: That the Scripture is giving us about children. You can't

736
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 4: change society with the law. You can't change society with

737
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 4: a president. You can't change the society with the congressman.

738
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 4: You change society through how you raise the children and

739
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 4: investing in them relentlessly for years and decades to shape

740
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 4: them so that they.

741
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 2: Can shape society.

742
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 4: Now there's one there's one problem with this, and I

743
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 4: know this from experience.

744
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 2: Lasting. Yeah, you know when when.

745
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 4: You bring back the little pregnancy test and you both

746
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 4: get so excited.

747
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you should live that up because that's the.

748
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 4: Last bit of energy that you're gonna have for the next.

749
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: Thirty five years of your life. All Right, they drain you.

750
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 4: And I remember, and I'm talking to parents, and I

751
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 4: know all occasions we.

752
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: Have young parents. You have young parents all over this church.

753
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm so glad.

754
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 4: I'm so thankful for the young people that are getting married,

755
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 4: that are having babies. I'm thankful for the people with

756
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 4: two babies that are having a third baby, for the

757
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 4: people with three babies that.

758
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 2: Are having a fourth baby.

759
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 4: We gotta out breathe the pagans in Jesus' name. But

760
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 4: I understand, because I talk to you in the hallways.

761
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 2: I understand. You all look exhausted.

762
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 4: You got bags under your eyes, You're frustrated, you don't

763
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 4: know where you are half the time.

764
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: I kidd it, I've been there.

765
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 4: I remember when my two olders were tiny children, and

766
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 4: me and my wife we're feeling like so exhausted. I

767
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 4: remember the days when a trip to CBS was the

768
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 4: highlight of my week to pick up my wife's stuff.

769
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 4: I literally, I'll go, I'll go anything to get out

770
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 4: of this house.

771
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 2: Come on with somebody. And you go through that for year.

772
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 4: After year after year after and it feels like it'll

773
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 4: never end.

774
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: And I want to tell you something.

775
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 4: I'm about to see the light at the end of

776
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 4: this tunnel.

777
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 2: And it ends, and it ends gloriously. It does.

778
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 4: It gets better, but you got to put the work in.

779
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 4: You got to put the work in. What I'm trying

780
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 4: to tell you is you're not gonna see that fruit tomorrow.

781
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 4: You're not gonna see the joy of Christian parenting in

782
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 4: a week. God is not a microwave. God is a

783
00:40:54,719 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 4: Southern barbecue. Come on, somebody. He takes his time roasting

784
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 4: and cooking that meat into perfect tenderness, and.

785
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 2: He wants to do that. He doesn't want to roast

786
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 2: your children. He wants to raise your children.

787
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 4: What I see in the Bible is that whenever God

788
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 4: wanted to save society, he used a family. The First

789
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 4: family had problems, Cain killed Abel. What does God do?

790
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 4: He raises up a substitute. He gives Eve another son

791
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 4: that son's name. Anybody know Seth means what substitute. And

792
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 4: then if you look at the genealogy of the Book

793
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,720
Speaker 4: of Genesis, some of you have never put this together,

794
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 4: but all the righteous saviors of mankind come from Seth.

795
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 4: All you got to do is go about four chapters later, no,

796
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 4: two chapters later to the book, to the sixth chapter.

797
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 4: There's a son of Seth named Noah. Noah saves humanity,

798
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 4: but he doesn't just save himself, does he? He saves

799
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 4: his sons and his wife and their wives.

800
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

801
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 4: And then the world is populated again, and they decide

802
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 4: to get together and build a tower to the heavens.

803
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 4: They build the house without the Lord.

804
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: Are you hearing this?

805
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 4: God comes down and confuses their language and scatters their efforts,

806
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 4: and the project is abandoned. And then God raises it

807
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 4: very next chapter, very next chapter, God raises up a

808
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 4: family through the man named Abraham. Says, I'm gonna bless

809
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 4: your seed. Your seed will change the world, but we

810
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 4: gotta say, we gotta wait a long time. By the way,

811
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 4: another son of Abraham's named David. David gets a covenant

812
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 4: with God. A promise from God says, your son will

813
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 4: never fail to sit on my throne. David thought you

814
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 4: were talking about Solomon, but we know he was actually

815
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 4: talking about Jesus, the true son of David. And Jesus

816
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 4: came into this world and was under the care of

817
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 4: a father, an adopted father, and a mother for thirty

818
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 4: years of his life. What I'm trying to tell you

819
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 4: is when God wants to save society, he uses a family.

820
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 4: And if you want to get your country on the

821
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 4: right track, it starts here with us raising children in

822
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 4: the fear and the instruction of Jesus Christ. But we

823
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 4: got to put the work in. We got to exhaust ourselves.

824
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 4: We gotta get frustrated. Sometimes things gotta get hated. Sometimes,

825
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 4: let me just give you a letter. B Children must

826
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 4: be sharpened for life's battles. They can't just live with you.

827
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 4: You gotta sharpen those suckers. Come on, somebody, let me

828
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 4: just grab me these arrows that I borrowed from somebody

829
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 4: who hunts in this church.

830
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 2: These arrows are a picture.

831
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 4: Look what it says in verse four, like arrows in

832
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 4: the hand of a warrior underlying warrior. By the way,

833
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 4: I've been talking about this all sermon long.

834
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: We are at war. Your children are the arrows in

835
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 2: your hand. Are you getting this?

836
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 4: But now in modern decide we're a throwaway culture.

837
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: In moderns, if these arrows.

838
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 4: Get damaged or if they get dull, you go to

839
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 4: Walmart and you pick up a set of three for

840
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 4: nine bucks. These arrows are replaceable. But in the ancient world,

841
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 4: you had to sharpen your arrows. You'd go fetch them

842
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 4: and you'd sharpen them up again so that they were

843
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 4: ready to pierce again.

844
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: And let me just say something about all your children.

845
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 2: Are you ready? Your children are irreplaceable. They're irreplaceable.

846
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 4: Your microwave goes, you can get a new one, your

847
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 4: car breaks down.

848
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 2: You can get a new one. It's really easy.

849
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 4: But your children are the most valuable commodity that you

850
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 4: will ever have under your care, and you've got.

851
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 2: To sharpen them.

852
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 4: You gotta do the work to let me say like

853
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 4: this a lot of times. In order to sharpen something,

854
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 4: you got to create friction.

855
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody wants friction. I don't want to make them upset.

856
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 4: Upset them, upset them.

857
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 2: For their good I can't wait to next week.

858
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 4: You're gonna love these seven sentences. Rub them the wrong way.

859
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 2: Parents, because you're.

860
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 4: Believing that God from your progenity, you're gonna pull back

861
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 4: the bow and release them into decades of human history

862
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 4: that you will never see. But God will be pleased

863
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 4: because you raise them in His name. Let her see finally, shape.

864
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 4: Sharpened children will shape the culture. Sharpened children will shape

865
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 4: the culture. Let me show you how this works out

866
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 4: and saw one twenty seven, verse five.

867
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 2: Check this out. Blessed is the man who fills his

868
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 2: quiver with children.

869
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 4: Blessed is the man and the woman who have a

870
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 4: bunch of kids. Let me just say I didn't say

871
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 4: this earlier, but I said in the other message. Uh,

872
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 4: some of you parents, listen to me. You're on the

873
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 4: verge of divorce. You've even thrown that word around.

874
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: You got to stop.

875
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 4: Your kids need you both to grow up, set aside

876
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 4: your own ambitions, and agree to work together for their sake.

877
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 4: That's like dramming on a topic. That's like dropping an

878
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 4: atomic bomb on their future. It is not about your happiness,

879
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 4: It is not about your wants and dreams. You are

880
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 4: no longer living for you. You are living for your

881
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 4: kids to know the Lord. This is blessed as the

882
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 4: man who's quiver is filled with kids. Now, the word

883
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 4: blessed here is not the word barack. There's two words

884
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 4: for blessed in Hebrew, barack and a sar. Barack and

885
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 4: a sar. And every time it talks about God's blessing

886
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 4: someone it used the word baraq. But in this case

887
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 4: the word is not barack, it's a sar. And God

888
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 4: is never the subject of the blessing of Asar.

889
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: That God is never the subject.

890
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 4: Why because the word a sar is a positive envy word.

891
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 4: It's a positive end. There is good envy, uh. That

892
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 4: is that you look at somebody's life and you say, wow,

893
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 4: that's really good for you.

894
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 2: That's the word here.

895
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 4: Blessed is the man Asar is the man that other

896
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 4: people will look at your world, look at your family,

897
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 4: look at your home, and they will say, wow, I'm

898
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 4: envious to that. And it's a good envy because it's

899
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 4: a godly it's.

900
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: A godliness that the envy.

901
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 4: Blessed is the man who fills his house with godly children.

902
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 4: And then it says this, he will not be put

903
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 4: to shame when he speaks with his enemies. Where in

904
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 4: the gate can I tell you that in the ancient world.

905
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 4: The gate was not just the doors of the city. No, no, no,

906
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 4: we know this from other scriptures. The gate was the

907
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 4: center of political justice. It was the center of civic government.

908
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 4: The governor would station himself at the gate and hear

909
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 4: the complaints and the cases of the people. Notice the

910
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 4: big picture here, you put your house, fill it with

911
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 4: godly children, and later in life.

912
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 2: Your enemies, your enemies will.

913
00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 4: Not put you to shame in your political atmosphere. Children

914
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 4: sharpened by godly parents will shape the culture of a nation.

915
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 4: Sermon and sentence, win the home, win the war, Raise

916
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 4: your children in the Lord, and you won't just survive

917
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 4: the culture, you'll shape it. And I am believing that

918
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 4: for our church. I am believing that for every location.

919
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 4: I'm believing that for every parent, and I want you

920
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 4: to hear me. Every parent in the house, every public

921
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 4: educator in the house, we thank God for you. We

922
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 4: thank God for the Christian educators, We thank God for

923
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 4: the preschool teachers, We thank God for anybody in any

924
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 4: way who is godly and involved in shaping the next generation.

925
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 4: Can we just give them a hand and thank God

926
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 4: for them. You matter more than you realize. But we

927
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 4: need to take this responsibility seriously.

928
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 2: We need to let God change us and shape us,

929
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 2: not culture.

930
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 4: We need to raise our children to love the Lord Jesus,

931
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 4: and it can be done.

932
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: I want you to bow your heads and close your eyes.

933
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 4: At every location, We're gonna ask you in this moment

934
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 4: to say yes to Jesus.

935
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 2: I believe in every location.

936
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 4: There's somebody you need the Lord Jesus.

937
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: You're not walking with the Lord. You're not walking right.

938
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 2: You know it. Today is the day to surrender your life, to.

939
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 4: Seek for the forgiveness of your sins.

940
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 2: And to receive Jesus. Father.

941
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 4: I pray that every person at every location that needs

942
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 4: you will come to Jesus in this moment in Jesus' name.

943
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to this message from Waters Church.

944
