1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,900
Good morning.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,740
So, Steven is

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,179
our volunteer of the week. And,

4
00:00:15,369 --> 00:00:15,869
wow.

5
00:00:20,554 --> 00:00:21,054
So,

6
00:00:22,475 --> 00:00:24,074
Steven does he works with the worst. He

7
00:00:24,074 --> 00:00:25,594
works in the booths back there. He was

8
00:00:25,914 --> 00:00:27,914
weren't you just ushering? Was that you up

9
00:00:27,914 --> 00:00:29,535
here? Okay. He's also,

10
00:00:30,314 --> 00:00:31,214
with the ushers

11
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:33,940
and, and he's part of the men's team

12
00:00:33,940 --> 00:00:37,460
too, men's ministries team. So so, yeah, Steven

13
00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:39,380
does a lot. We like that. We like

14
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:41,159
when people do a lot. So,

15
00:00:43,299 --> 00:00:44,740
so I I have a question. I always

16
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:46,424
ask this around this time of year.

17
00:00:46,825 --> 00:00:50,024
How many how many like the weather outside

18
00:00:50,024 --> 00:00:50,684
right now?

19
00:00:51,225 --> 00:00:53,064
I do. I love it. This is like

20
00:00:53,064 --> 00:00:53,804
my favorite.

21
00:00:54,424 --> 00:00:56,604
I like cool, cloudy, drizzly.

22
00:00:57,704 --> 00:01:00,604
I don't like all those fake sunshiny days

23
00:01:02,329 --> 00:01:04,810
when they give you a not accurate outlook

24
00:01:04,810 --> 00:01:06,109
on what life is.

25
00:01:09,290 --> 00:01:10,270
I like this

26
00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:11,469
right here.

27
00:01:13,234 --> 00:01:13,734
I'm

28
00:01:16,275 --> 00:01:16,466
mountain biking, I really like, misty rainy. That's

29
00:01:16,466 --> 00:01:16,834
the best because you're getting hot, you're sweating

30
00:01:16,834 --> 00:01:18,834
all this stuff. I'd rather I'd rather not

31
00:01:18,834 --> 00:01:20,454
do that. So, yeah, it's

32
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,234
few days here. We had, General Flynn here

33
00:01:27,234 --> 00:01:27,519
with the, human trafficking, conference that we did

34
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:29,359
Friday night, all day yesterday. It was it

35
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:30,180
was just great.

36
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:32,259
It was powerful, extremely

37
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,140
informative.

38
00:01:41,655 --> 00:01:43,255
A lot of lot of different people and

39
00:01:43,255 --> 00:01:44,075
a lot of different,

40
00:01:44,935 --> 00:01:48,314
places, spaces within the the concept of rescuing,

41
00:01:49,255 --> 00:01:51,335
kids and and also adults, by the way,

42
00:01:51,335 --> 00:01:52,314
from human trafficking.

43
00:01:52,775 --> 00:01:55,594
And then, those that do after care and

44
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:58,020
just just the whole gambit of stuff with

45
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:00,100
this. It was I I've been in this

46
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:01,400
space for a long time.

47
00:02:02,020 --> 00:02:03,079
I've done the training,

48
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:05,319
the, the training to recognize,

49
00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:08,439
kids being trafficked. I've done all this stuff,

50
00:02:08,525 --> 00:02:11,405
And I still learned from every single aspect

51
00:02:11,405 --> 00:02:12,305
of this thing,

52
00:02:13,004 --> 00:02:14,765
who's who's doing what out there and how

53
00:02:14,765 --> 00:02:15,825
they're doing it. And

54
00:02:16,205 --> 00:02:18,525
and, and then just also a good sense

55
00:02:18,525 --> 00:02:19,025
of

56
00:02:19,405 --> 00:02:21,780
we've got to care about this. We've got

57
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:22,760
to care about,

58
00:02:23,699 --> 00:02:25,159
kids that are being trafficked.

59
00:02:25,860 --> 00:02:27,620
And and I've run bills at the house.

60
00:02:27,620 --> 00:02:28,360
I've done,

61
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:31,540
all kinds of things. Of course, none nothing

62
00:02:31,540 --> 00:02:32,360
I ever do

63
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:34,995
comes to fruition in the house. But

64
00:02:35,555 --> 00:02:36,055
but

65
00:02:36,754 --> 00:02:38,134
but this is an important

66
00:02:38,594 --> 00:02:40,055
important place. And so,

67
00:02:40,995 --> 00:02:43,094
we also got to watch the movie yesterday,

68
00:02:44,354 --> 00:02:45,334
Into the Light.

69
00:02:45,715 --> 00:02:47,974
The director producer was here

70
00:02:48,509 --> 00:02:48,989
to,

71
00:02:49,469 --> 00:02:51,709
to show us the movie and then explain,

72
00:02:51,709 --> 00:02:54,189
and they did a panel afterwards discussing this.

73
00:02:54,189 --> 00:02:56,189
And basically, this is if you're interested, you

74
00:02:56,189 --> 00:02:58,750
can scan the QR code. This is you

75
00:02:58,750 --> 00:03:00,829
have to pay something to watch it. But,

76
00:03:01,965 --> 00:03:03,325
but it's about how,

77
00:03:03,724 --> 00:03:04,764
everything is,

78
00:03:05,245 --> 00:03:06,865
everything that's going on manipulate

79
00:03:07,245 --> 00:03:08,545
is manipulating us.

80
00:03:08,925 --> 00:03:12,125
The, everything, every social platforms, Hollywood, all this

81
00:03:12,125 --> 00:03:14,125
stuff. I mean, they show how they're doing

82
00:03:14,125 --> 00:03:16,045
this, how they're spinning things, how they're telling

83
00:03:16,045 --> 00:03:17,425
you certain amounts of information

84
00:03:17,819 --> 00:03:20,620
or completely wrong information. And they go over

85
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:22,939
and it's it's just a lot of information,

86
00:03:22,939 --> 00:03:24,860
a lot of good stuff in there. And,

87
00:03:25,099 --> 00:03:26,860
so if you're interested in that, we can

88
00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:28,780
also make sure that you that you have

89
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:30,240
access to that at some

90
00:03:30,754 --> 00:03:32,834
at some time in the future too. But

91
00:03:32,834 --> 00:03:34,134
it was just a good weekend.

92
00:03:35,235 --> 00:03:37,314
And I really enjoyed getting to,

93
00:03:38,275 --> 00:03:40,694
to meet General Flynn. We've been,

94
00:03:42,034 --> 00:03:44,194
connected some with some of the stuff that,

95
00:03:44,435 --> 00:03:46,215
he he's posted some of my

96
00:03:47,050 --> 00:03:48,409
videos from the house and things, but I

97
00:03:48,409 --> 00:03:49,610
actually got to sit down and talk to

98
00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:50,669
him. He's just a really,

99
00:03:50,969 --> 00:03:53,210
really nice guy. I really enjoyed getting to,

100
00:03:53,610 --> 00:03:54,750
know him a little bit.

101
00:03:55,129 --> 00:03:57,449
And now, you know, I can I can

102
00:03:57,449 --> 00:03:59,530
say I know General Flynn? So there's that

103
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:00,430
too. So

104
00:04:01,754 --> 00:04:02,574
we're buddies.

105
00:04:03,115 --> 00:04:04,175
Okay. So,

106
00:04:07,115 --> 00:04:09,275
I I do want so last Sunday, I

107
00:04:09,275 --> 00:04:10,875
mentioned of course, I've been mentioning this a

108
00:04:10,875 --> 00:04:11,375
lot,

109
00:04:11,835 --> 00:04:12,974
but I talked about,

110
00:04:14,519 --> 00:04:16,519
I I mentioned before service, before I jumped

111
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:17,899
into this, that,

112
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:20,539
that, they cannot

113
00:04:20,919 --> 00:04:23,399
by they, this is not Democrat, Republican. This

114
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:24,919
is a lot bigger than that. This is

115
00:04:24,919 --> 00:04:27,024
kind of the powers that be in our

116
00:04:27,024 --> 00:04:29,425
country. They cannot allow Trump to get to

117
00:04:29,425 --> 00:04:31,665
the White House. They cannot do it. And

118
00:04:31,665 --> 00:04:33,185
you guys know, no matter which way this

119
00:04:33,185 --> 00:04:35,745
comes out in November, our our country's going

120
00:04:35,745 --> 00:04:36,404
to explode.

121
00:04:37,185 --> 00:04:39,584
BLM's already been putting stuff online, putting a

122
00:04:39,584 --> 00:04:42,060
lot of information out there, and attached to

123
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:42,560
Antifa

124
00:04:43,019 --> 00:04:44,860
that they're gonna tear they're gonna burn this

125
00:04:44,860 --> 00:04:46,939
country down if Trump gets in the White

126
00:04:46,939 --> 00:04:47,439
House.

127
00:04:48,459 --> 00:04:49,279
Well, if

128
00:04:49,899 --> 00:04:51,660
if Kamala gets in the White House, the

129
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:53,100
the rest of the country knows this is

130
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:54,240
a big fat lie.

131
00:04:54,620 --> 00:04:56,220
And what are the what is gonna happen

132
00:04:56,220 --> 00:04:56,720
then?

133
00:04:57,475 --> 00:04:58,995
Right? So I don't know. It's gonna be

134
00:04:58,995 --> 00:05:01,475
crazy. But but even after I said that

135
00:05:01,475 --> 00:05:02,214
last Sunday,

136
00:05:02,675 --> 00:05:04,615
what, 2 hours later, there was another

137
00:05:04,915 --> 00:05:07,235
attempt on his life, another assassination attempt, and

138
00:05:07,235 --> 00:05:09,235
then 2 more this week. 1 where there

139
00:05:09,235 --> 00:05:10,855
was a bomb in a car

140
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,580
that, was right

141
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,020
near the,

142
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,699
the group of cars

143
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,960
that drive with President Trump in them. And

144
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,100
they found that before

145
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,165
the the entourage got to there. And then

146
00:05:25,165 --> 00:05:27,324
he was at a speech in Arizona and

147
00:05:27,324 --> 00:05:28,525
a and a group of people at the

148
00:05:28,525 --> 00:05:30,365
front were sitting there. And all of them

149
00:05:30,365 --> 00:05:32,525
immediately got sick, started throwing up. Some of

150
00:05:32,525 --> 00:05:34,365
them passed out and all this stuff. And

151
00:05:34,365 --> 00:05:36,545
so they they, you know, take Trump out.

152
00:05:36,605 --> 00:05:38,365
But they had been exposed to some kind

153
00:05:38,365 --> 00:05:40,329
of gas that was up there at the,

154
00:05:40,649 --> 00:05:43,050
front of the speech. Guys, this isn't this

155
00:05:43,050 --> 00:05:44,649
is not gonna stop. I've I've been saying

156
00:05:44,649 --> 00:05:46,970
this. This is not gonna stop. There we

157
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:48,810
have crossed a line in our country where

158
00:05:48,810 --> 00:05:49,709
this is okay.

159
00:05:50,009 --> 00:05:51,709
The media is blaming Trump

160
00:05:52,225 --> 00:05:53,045
on his own assassination

161
00:05:53,745 --> 00:05:54,245
attempts

162
00:05:55,185 --> 00:05:57,665
because he's not he's not bringing his speech

163
00:05:57,665 --> 00:05:59,665
down, his rhetoric down. In other words, you're

164
00:05:59,665 --> 00:06:02,144
saying things we don't like. You're speaking truth

165
00:06:02,144 --> 00:06:04,225
and we don't like that and so we're

166
00:06:04,225 --> 00:06:05,129
gonna kill you.

167
00:06:05,610 --> 00:06:07,129
This is where we've come to in our

168
00:06:07,129 --> 00:06:08,350
country. This is disgusting.

169
00:06:09,209 --> 00:06:10,509
It doesn't matter which,

170
00:06:11,129 --> 00:06:13,790
party affiliation you are. This is not okay.

171
00:06:14,410 --> 00:06:16,089
This is beyond the pale and this is

172
00:06:16,089 --> 00:06:17,389
not what made our country.

173
00:06:17,930 --> 00:06:19,470
This is not who we are.

174
00:06:20,634 --> 00:06:22,634
I just strongly encourage you. I think that

175
00:06:22,634 --> 00:06:23,215
the greatest

176
00:06:23,595 --> 00:06:25,115
thing we can do at this point is

177
00:06:25,115 --> 00:06:27,995
truly pray. I mean really seek God for

178
00:06:27,995 --> 00:06:30,335
our country, not just our God protect Trump,

179
00:06:30,795 --> 00:06:32,475
but really pray for the soul of our

180
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:32,975
country.

181
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,819
We're in a in a very bad place.

182
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:38,039
With all of that said, the last thing

183
00:06:38,039 --> 00:06:39,099
that I wanted to mention,

184
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,120
I was very excited to see all of

185
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,819
the stuff happening in Israel

186
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,979
and actually mostly in Lebanon,

187
00:06:46,919 --> 00:06:47,979
this last week.

188
00:06:49,995 --> 00:06:52,014
I didn't know you could do this stuff.

189
00:06:53,675 --> 00:06:55,835
I didn't know you could make pagers blow

190
00:06:55,835 --> 00:06:56,335
up.

191
00:06:57,275 --> 00:06:58,975
This is absolutely amazing.

192
00:06:59,275 --> 00:07:00,415
And they're only

193
00:07:01,035 --> 00:07:02,895
blowing up on Hezbollah

194
00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:04,160
leaders.

195
00:07:05,259 --> 00:07:07,120
That is absolutely phenomenal.

196
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:10,560
These Israelis are absolutely geniuses.

197
00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:13,660
Then all of a sudden, cell phones started

198
00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:14,960
blowing up. Then

199
00:07:15,420 --> 00:07:16,480
walkie talkies

200
00:07:16,939 --> 00:07:19,725
started blowing up. So then all the Hezbollah

201
00:07:19,725 --> 00:07:21,745
leaders are like, we should not be using

202
00:07:21,805 --> 00:07:25,004
technology. So let's get together in a group

203
00:07:25,004 --> 00:07:26,225
and just talk personally.

204
00:07:27,725 --> 00:07:29,805
And the Israelis were like, are they all

205
00:07:29,805 --> 00:07:31,185
there? Okay. Boom.

206
00:07:31,964 --> 00:07:33,345
Blew that place up.

207
00:07:34,229 --> 00:07:35,949
This is this is what should always happen

208
00:07:35,949 --> 00:07:38,229
to terrorists. This is absolutely amazing. I have

209
00:07:38,229 --> 00:07:42,069
been a little shy of answering my phone

210
00:07:42,069 --> 00:07:42,649
this week.

211
00:07:46,785 --> 00:07:48,314
Absolutely phenomenal. And, and this is they're scared

212
00:07:48,314 --> 00:07:48,464
to death

213
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,160
they're scared to death to get near anything.

214
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,319
Pretty soon, they're I mean, somebody's going to

215
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:04,620
be at morse code. Boom.

216
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,319
That's going to blow up. So, alright. I

217
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:09,959
I wanna I wanna look at something this

218
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:10,759
morning. I think it's

219
00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:13,019
So I spoke 2 weeks ago.

220
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:16,175
I spoke about the rapture.

221
00:08:16,634 --> 00:08:17,134
Okay?

222
00:08:17,834 --> 00:08:18,074
And,

223
00:08:18,634 --> 00:08:20,555
now I'm not going to revisit that really

224
00:08:20,555 --> 00:08:22,714
this morning. I know that I I do

225
00:08:22,714 --> 00:08:24,394
love to preach about that. I am pre

226
00:08:24,394 --> 00:08:26,154
tribulation rapture. I know that some of you

227
00:08:26,154 --> 00:08:27,310
in here, and

228
00:08:27,850 --> 00:08:29,129
you're post trib, stuff like that. But what

229
00:08:29,129 --> 00:08:30,270
ifs? But I do want I do want

230
00:08:30,270 --> 00:08:31,389
to look at the bigger subject because it's

231
00:08:31,389 --> 00:08:32,809
not necessarily about the rapture. Okay. Let's kind

232
00:08:32,809 --> 00:08:33,870
of take that

233
00:08:42,434 --> 00:08:44,355
the table. Alright? But this is one of

234
00:08:44,355 --> 00:08:46,195
the arguments that I I have for pre

235
00:08:46,195 --> 00:08:48,674
tribulation rapture is what I brought out 2

236
00:08:48,674 --> 00:08:50,355
weeks ago in in Matthew 24, and I

237
00:08:50,355 --> 00:08:51,975
wanna take this into this week,

238
00:08:52,674 --> 00:08:56,034
is the idea that, Jesus himself says that

239
00:08:56,034 --> 00:08:56,355
that,

240
00:08:56,914 --> 00:08:57,414
before

241
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,660
the rapture, he doesn't use that term, but

242
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,500
before the rapture,

243
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:03,600
there

244
00:09:04,639 --> 00:09:06,399
the earth is going to look like the

245
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:07,379
days of Noah.

246
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,259
And he does not say,

247
00:09:11,195 --> 00:09:13,434
evil like the days of Noah. What he

248
00:09:13,434 --> 00:09:15,434
says is which is which is true. That's

249
00:09:15,434 --> 00:09:16,654
got to be included. Right?

250
00:09:17,754 --> 00:09:20,154
Because of the whole everything that follows. But

251
00:09:20,154 --> 00:09:22,875
what he says is that there's gonna everybody's

252
00:09:22,875 --> 00:09:25,195
gonna be living life as normal, and there's

253
00:09:25,195 --> 00:09:26,174
gonna be partying

254
00:09:26,750 --> 00:09:28,990
and marrying and things like that. And he

255
00:09:28,990 --> 00:09:31,629
says, and you won't be ready. They were

256
00:09:31,629 --> 00:09:33,389
not ready. I'm getting ahead of myself. They

257
00:09:33,389 --> 00:09:36,110
were not ready for the flood. But Noah

258
00:09:36,110 --> 00:09:37,889
had been telling them for a 100 years.

259
00:09:38,764 --> 00:09:40,524
But they weren't ready for the flood. Why?

260
00:09:40,524 --> 00:09:42,524
Because they were just living normal life. There

261
00:09:42,524 --> 00:09:43,184
was nothing,

262
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:46,125
there was nothing urgent. That's part of my

263
00:09:46,125 --> 00:09:47,804
argument with why it can't be mid or

264
00:09:47,804 --> 00:09:49,804
post trib because you're going to have been

265
00:09:49,804 --> 00:09:50,625
in the tribulation.

266
00:09:51,290 --> 00:09:53,850
There is urgency. There is, oh no, we're

267
00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:56,170
in the tribulation. So that somehow it could

268
00:09:56,170 --> 00:09:57,309
sneak upon you.

269
00:09:58,170 --> 00:10:01,070
I just don't think that fits theologically. Okay?

270
00:10:01,610 --> 00:10:02,830
But let's let's

271
00:10:03,464 --> 00:10:05,884
let's let's look at this without the

272
00:10:06,264 --> 00:10:08,584
the the trying to figure out when the

273
00:10:08,584 --> 00:10:09,804
rapture takes place.

274
00:10:10,184 --> 00:10:11,944
But let's look at the fact that Jesus

275
00:10:11,944 --> 00:10:12,444
says,

276
00:10:13,065 --> 00:10:14,985
you're not going to you're not just like

277
00:10:14,985 --> 00:10:16,664
they weren't ready for the flood, you're not

278
00:10:16,664 --> 00:10:18,044
going to be ready for the rapture.

279
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:21,299
Because you're gonna be living life as usual.

280
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:24,480
The partying I don't think there's gonna be

281
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,779
a lot of parties in the tribulation.

282
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,059
Partying,

283
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,759
giving in marriage, all this other kind of

284
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:30,259
stuff.

285
00:10:30,815 --> 00:10:31,315
That

286
00:10:31,774 --> 00:10:32,479
gets me with this with the church mentality,

287
00:10:32,479 --> 00:10:33,695
as I think that I don't think the

288
00:10:33,695 --> 00:10:35,634
church has a sense of urgency about it.

289
00:10:44,570 --> 00:10:46,490
I'm saying the church across America, we just

290
00:10:46,490 --> 00:10:48,490
don't have a sense of urgency. And there's

291
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:50,590
some things that are tied to that urgency.

292
00:10:51,769 --> 00:10:53,450
It's, this is this is one of the

293
00:10:53,450 --> 00:10:54,970
reasons that I to me, I think the

294
00:10:54,970 --> 00:10:57,290
church needs to to be preaching a rapture

295
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:57,790
mentality

296
00:10:58,325 --> 00:11:00,370
sense of urgency. You don't know Jesus himself

297
00:11:00,370 --> 00:11:01,004
says, you don't know when this is gonna

298
00:11:01,004 --> 00:11:02,964
happen. It's gonna happen instantly. It's gonna happen

299
00:11:02,964 --> 00:11:04,164
suddenly. And and even though you have been

300
00:11:04,164 --> 00:11:06,835
told about it, you're just partying it up.

301
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,663
On actual stuff. I feel like that's where

302
00:11:13,663 --> 00:11:15,029
the church is at. We're just kind of

303
00:11:15,029 --> 00:11:16,820
going through the motion to party and we're

304
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:17,700
doing marriages.

305
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,700
We're doing all this stuff.

306
00:11:25,115 --> 00:11:26,875
But there's not a sense of urgency on

307
00:11:26,875 --> 00:11:28,235
a few things. There's not a sense of

308
00:11:28,235 --> 00:11:29,214
personal urgency.

309
00:11:30,394 --> 00:11:31,434
There's not a,

310
00:11:32,074 --> 00:11:33,274
there's not a,

311
00:11:34,394 --> 00:11:36,254
urgency for the lost.

312
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:38,940
Doesn't

313
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:39,787
exist anymore, which kind of makes sense though,

314
00:11:39,787 --> 00:11:40,700
because if you have an urgency for the

315
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,519
lost, then there has to be something driving

316
00:11:42,519 --> 00:11:43,259
that urgency.

317
00:11:50,554 --> 00:11:52,345
Rapture mentality, or the reality that is for

318
00:11:52,345 --> 00:11:53,034
all of us that take the rapture off

319
00:11:53,034 --> 00:11:55,214
the table. So let's say God came

320
00:11:55,914 --> 00:11:58,095
to you right now and said,

321
00:12:07,589 --> 00:12:10,009
you, I'm not coming back during your lifetime.

322
00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:14,409
When is that?

323
00:12:16,549 --> 00:12:18,009
When is your lifetime

324
00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:18,970
over?

325
00:12:21,004 --> 00:12:22,285
Let let me read a couple of scriptures

326
00:12:22,285 --> 00:12:23,745
to you. Romans chapter 10

327
00:12:24,205 --> 00:12:26,445
verse 13. For everyone who calls on the

328
00:12:26,445 --> 00:12:28,065
name of the Lord will be saved.

329
00:12:29,085 --> 00:12:31,164
This is this is a part of what,

330
00:12:31,404 --> 00:12:33,085
people have called the Romans road over the

331
00:12:33,085 --> 00:12:35,585
years. But but ask yourself this question.

332
00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:38,629
What does this sentence mean? What are the

333
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:40,009
elements of this sentence?

334
00:12:40,389 --> 00:12:41,750
Everyone who calls on the name of the

335
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:43,769
Lord. First, what does that mean to

336
00:12:44,950 --> 00:12:46,950
you? Because it means different things to different

337
00:12:46,950 --> 00:12:47,450
people.

338
00:12:48,070 --> 00:12:50,195
And then it says, everyone who calls on

339
00:12:50,195 --> 00:12:51,815
the name of the Lord will be saved.

340
00:12:51,875 --> 00:12:53,315
What does that mean to you? What is

341
00:12:53,315 --> 00:12:54,615
saved mean to you?

342
00:12:55,394 --> 00:12:57,014
How do you define saved?

343
00:12:58,675 --> 00:13:00,595
I I've I've mentioned this over the last

344
00:13:00,595 --> 00:13:02,514
3 years, a statistic I read 3 years

345
00:13:02,514 --> 00:13:05,120
ago from Barna Research that says from Gen

346
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,419
z. Okay?

347
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:08,419
It actually was a little bit

348
00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:10,879
older than that too. But but let's say

349
00:13:10,879 --> 00:13:11,620
Gen z,

350
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,339
that over 60% of all of the the

351
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:19,384
the gen z generation, and this was basically

352
00:13:19,445 --> 00:13:20,665
like 30 and under

353
00:13:21,045 --> 00:13:21,945
for the statistics,

354
00:13:22,325 --> 00:13:24,884
that 60% of all of the the people

355
00:13:24,884 --> 00:13:27,545
within that age group that are Christians,

356
00:13:28,565 --> 00:13:30,665
that declare themselves to be Christians,

357
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,419
believe that it is morally wrong.

358
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,940
This is this is important, the wording.

359
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,179
That it is morally wrong

360
00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:43,299
to tell other people about Jesus

361
00:13:44,215 --> 00:13:46,534
because they have their own religion and that

362
00:13:46,534 --> 00:13:47,434
would be proselytizing.

363
00:13:49,815 --> 00:13:51,195
So let me ask the question.

364
00:13:51,735 --> 00:13:53,674
What does saved mean?

365
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,440
Do we really believe that this is a

366
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:58,759
a,

367
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:02,220
a big enough issue to cause concern within

368
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,540
our spirit, our minds, our hearts,

369
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,059
our lives?

370
00:14:08,774 --> 00:14:10,615
Should it should it cause anything to happen?

371
00:14:10,615 --> 00:14:11,355
John 316,

372
00:14:12,615 --> 00:14:14,054
this is how God loved the world. He

373
00:14:14,054 --> 00:14:15,975
gave his one and only son that everyone

374
00:14:15,975 --> 00:14:18,315
who believes in him will not perish,

375
00:14:18,855 --> 00:14:21,254
but have eternal life. What does perish mean

376
00:14:21,254 --> 00:14:21,914
to you?

377
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,920
What does eternal life mean to you? Why

378
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,379
would Jesus himself,

379
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,100
God of the universe, the Word,

380
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,120
the the one that is the Word itself

381
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:34,440
at,

382
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:35,420
creation.

383
00:14:36,225 --> 00:14:38,784
What why would Jesus himself take on human

384
00:14:38,784 --> 00:14:40,784
flesh to die for us? Because the word

385
00:14:40,784 --> 00:14:41,284
perish

386
00:14:41,904 --> 00:14:43,524
is a very important word.

387
00:14:44,945 --> 00:14:46,625
And in Romans 2, when it says that

388
00:14:46,625 --> 00:14:47,764
you will be saved,

389
00:14:48,144 --> 00:14:50,164
saved from what to what,

390
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,120
for what reason, purpose, all this kind of

391
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,879
stuff. See, this is the thing is you

392
00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:56,240
have to be able to answer this for

393
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:56,740
yourself.

394
00:14:57,279 --> 00:14:59,920
And this this demographic that is saying that

395
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,399
it is morally wrong to tell other people

396
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:04,980
about Jesus, they have not answered it scripturally,

397
00:15:06,134 --> 00:15:08,074
or they wouldn't be thinking that way.

398
00:15:08,695 --> 00:15:10,774
Jesus says that he is the way, the

399
00:15:10,774 --> 00:15:11,674
only way,

400
00:15:12,214 --> 00:15:13,495
truth and the life that he is the

401
00:15:13,495 --> 00:15:15,595
only way to God the father. Without Jesus,

402
00:15:15,735 --> 00:15:17,115
there is no salvation.

403
00:15:18,659 --> 00:15:21,559
So it doesn't matter. If you really believe,

404
00:15:22,019 --> 00:15:23,940
if you really believe that Jesus is the

405
00:15:23,940 --> 00:15:26,339
only way to God, then that means all

406
00:15:26,339 --> 00:15:28,980
the other options are not real. They're not

407
00:15:28,980 --> 00:15:29,480
true.

408
00:15:29,940 --> 00:15:32,120
They're they're false religions.

409
00:15:34,195 --> 00:15:35,875
You say, well, no. I believe that that

410
00:15:35,875 --> 00:15:38,514
all the other religions have validity too. Then

411
00:15:38,514 --> 00:15:41,235
then somewhere you're you're off track with what

412
00:15:41,235 --> 00:15:43,334
the Bible says and you need to reinvestigate

413
00:15:43,794 --> 00:15:44,294
this.

414
00:15:44,914 --> 00:15:46,674
Because this is where we this is where

415
00:15:46,674 --> 00:15:49,254
we are as a country within the church.

416
00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:52,919
We are not telling people the truth. We

417
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:55,879
are not living the truth. We are not

418
00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:56,379
displaying

419
00:15:56,759 --> 00:15:59,160
the truth. And so therefore, there's any,

420
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:00,860
a myriad of options

421
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,519
to get to God the father. There's a

422
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:04,745
myriad of options for eternal life and all

423
00:16:04,745 --> 00:16:07,544
these other things. That's not true. If if

424
00:16:07,544 --> 00:16:10,105
Jesus dies on the cross so that we

425
00:16:10,105 --> 00:16:11,644
won't perish, if he himself

426
00:16:12,345 --> 00:16:13,245
is the necessity

427
00:16:13,625 --> 00:16:15,084
to keep us from perishing

428
00:16:15,705 --> 00:16:17,750
so that we can have eternal life, then

429
00:16:17,750 --> 00:16:19,269
we need to know what that perishing means

430
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:20,710
and we need to know what that eternal

431
00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:21,450
life means.

432
00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:22,970
Or

433
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:25,210
or what's the point of this thing?

434
00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:29,110
This is this is why I believe there's

435
00:16:29,110 --> 00:16:31,029
not an urgency within the church and why

436
00:16:31,029 --> 00:16:32,089
the church at large

437
00:16:32,414 --> 00:16:35,615
is not concerned anymore about witnessing. We don't

438
00:16:35,615 --> 00:16:37,774
have problem inviting people. In fact, they encourage

439
00:16:37,774 --> 00:16:38,274
that.

440
00:16:39,134 --> 00:16:40,894
I I I talked to a guy the

441
00:16:40,894 --> 00:16:42,674
other day that had been to a church

442
00:16:43,294 --> 00:16:45,394
and he said that this church was giving

443
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:48,730
bonus bucks to people that brought guests.

444
00:16:52,070 --> 00:16:52,889
And I'm like,

445
00:16:53,509 --> 00:16:54,410
excuse me.

446
00:16:55,750 --> 00:16:57,210
I have lots of questions.

447
00:16:58,504 --> 00:16:59,565
Bonus bucks

448
00:17:00,504 --> 00:17:01,245
for what?

449
00:17:02,264 --> 00:17:04,765
Are these heavenly bonus bucks?

450
00:17:05,144 --> 00:17:06,924
You get toward the front of the line

451
00:17:07,224 --> 00:17:09,865
in eternity. I don't that was weird to

452
00:17:09,865 --> 00:17:11,945
me that I think it's like for their

453
00:17:11,945 --> 00:17:14,000
gift shop or something, but I'm I I

454
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:14,660
don't know.

455
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,019
Just seemed a little strange to me. But

456
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,240
but here's the thing guys, if we're not

457
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,460
actually about people getting saved, what's the point?

458
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,340
What's the point of this whole thing?

459
00:17:27,794 --> 00:17:27,881
Benefits to that, but I don't mean this

460
00:17:27,881 --> 00:17:28,490
pejoratively, but look around the room. Is this

461
00:17:28,490 --> 00:17:29,815
the social group you've chosen?

462
00:17:40,019 --> 00:17:41,859
You got me? All right. So here's the

463
00:17:41,859 --> 00:17:42,500
thing. Guys, what are we saying when we're

464
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:43,330
saying being saved

465
00:17:53,134 --> 00:17:54,894
Guys, what are we saying when we're saying

466
00:17:54,894 --> 00:17:55,875
being saved?

467
00:17:57,615 --> 00:17:58,115
Alright.

468
00:17:59,455 --> 00:18:01,715
Let's go to John chapter 4.

469
00:18:02,335 --> 00:18:04,575
See this is, this is interesting to me

470
00:18:04,575 --> 00:18:07,055
is again, let's take the rapture off the

471
00:18:07,055 --> 00:18:07,555
table.

472
00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:10,490
How long

473
00:18:11,029 --> 00:18:12,390
Yeah. I don't want to. That's not

474
00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:15,990
But but how long do you have left

475
00:18:15,990 --> 00:18:16,650
in life?

476
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:18,630
Alright. I'm gonna I'm gonna drill down here

477
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:20,390
quite a bit. I'm not trying to to

478
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:22,150
scare you but I'm actually okay with that

479
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:22,890
if it happens.

480
00:18:23,345 --> 00:18:24,865
But how long is your life Like I

481
00:18:24,865 --> 00:18:26,945
said earlier, if God says to you, I'm

482
00:18:26,945 --> 00:18:29,025
not gonna come back during your lifetime. That

483
00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:31,045
could be the the day after tomorrow.

484
00:18:33,184 --> 00:18:34,805
You you understand what I'm saying?

485
00:18:35,265 --> 00:18:37,700
And tomorrow is your last day. But he's

486
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:39,380
he's promised he'd not come back during your

487
00:18:39,380 --> 00:18:39,880
lifetime.

488
00:18:41,140 --> 00:18:42,740
How long how long do you have on

489
00:18:42,740 --> 00:18:43,480
this earth?

490
00:18:43,940 --> 00:18:45,720
James chapter 4 verse 14.

491
00:18:46,099 --> 00:18:47,619
How do you know what your life will

492
00:18:47,619 --> 00:18:48,440
be like tomorrow?

493
00:18:48,980 --> 00:18:50,839
Your life is like the morning fog.

494
00:18:51,345 --> 00:18:53,125
It's here a little while then it's gone.

495
00:18:53,184 --> 00:18:54,544
And I do want to thank the Lord

496
00:18:54,544 --> 00:18:55,605
for the illustration.

497
00:18:57,984 --> 00:18:59,605
He's he's working well with me.

498
00:19:00,464 --> 00:19:01,365
Verse 15,

499
00:19:02,144 --> 00:19:02,644
guys

500
00:19:03,184 --> 00:19:04,384
what you ought to say is if the

501
00:19:04,384 --> 00:19:06,359
Lord wants us to, we will live and

502
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,339
do this or that.

503
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:09,799
I think that's important the way he says

504
00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:11,240
it. He says, my life is like a

505
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,420
vapor. It's it's here today. It's gone tomorrow.

506
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,579
But what we should be saying is, God,

507
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,535
you're the one who determines my life. Not

508
00:19:18,535 --> 00:19:19,835
just if I'm alive,

509
00:19:20,134 --> 00:19:21,595
but what I'm doing.

510
00:19:23,575 --> 00:19:26,375
Do this or that. What I am doing

511
00:19:26,375 --> 00:19:27,015
with my life

512
00:19:28,934 --> 00:19:30,710
This is where we have

513
00:19:31,265 --> 00:19:32,025
in our American culture, you know, we get

514
00:19:32,025 --> 00:19:33,239
up, we go to work, we go home.

515
00:19:33,239 --> 00:19:36,149
We get up, we go to work, go

516
00:19:36,690 --> 00:19:37,809
home. And if you're not careful, what happens

517
00:19:37,809 --> 00:19:38,690
is the routine or the mundane of life

518
00:19:38,690 --> 00:19:40,149
can, lure you into kind of a, a,

519
00:19:45,644 --> 00:19:47,424
can lure you into kind of

520
00:19:47,964 --> 00:19:48,464
a,

521
00:19:49,164 --> 00:19:49,744
a sleep,

522
00:19:50,684 --> 00:19:51,345
a laziness.

523
00:19:52,605 --> 00:19:54,464
I think even without trying to.

524
00:19:54,924 --> 00:19:56,944
There's not an urgency in our spirit.

525
00:19:57,299 --> 00:19:58,580
And so we can go to work with

526
00:19:58,580 --> 00:20:00,500
somebody year after year after year. We know

527
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:02,420
they're not a Christian. We know that they

528
00:20:02,420 --> 00:20:04,660
don't have a relationship with Jesus. But it's

529
00:20:04,740 --> 00:20:06,740
there's not an urgency in our spirit to

530
00:20:06,740 --> 00:20:08,039
do something about it,

531
00:20:08,980 --> 00:20:10,600
have a conversation, do something.

532
00:20:11,605 --> 00:20:13,384
Somewhere there has to be an urgency.

533
00:20:14,484 --> 00:20:14,984
Why?

534
00:20:15,924 --> 00:20:16,424
Because

535
00:20:16,724 --> 00:20:18,505
how long are you gonna be alive?

536
00:20:19,605 --> 00:20:21,384
How long are they gonna be alive?

537
00:20:22,085 --> 00:20:22,565
I I,

538
00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:25,390
I,

539
00:20:25,769 --> 00:20:26,349
I had

540
00:20:26,650 --> 00:20:28,589
a meeting with somebody this week,

541
00:20:28,890 --> 00:20:30,569
and this is a political stuff, and we're

542
00:20:30,569 --> 00:20:31,849
trying to set some things up. And he

543
00:20:31,849 --> 00:20:32,970
was telling me, he said, did you hear

544
00:20:33,049 --> 00:20:34,809
and so I'll ask you the question. Did

545
00:20:34,809 --> 00:20:36,730
you hear about the motorcycle wreck on I

546
00:20:36,730 --> 00:20:39,335
25 this last week? Anybody hear about that?

547
00:20:39,554 --> 00:20:40,994
It was on the news, all this kind

548
00:20:40,994 --> 00:20:41,494
of

549
00:20:41,875 --> 00:20:44,194
stuff. This was interesting. He said his wife

550
00:20:44,194 --> 00:20:44,855
was driving

551
00:20:45,234 --> 00:20:46,054
their van

552
00:20:46,595 --> 00:20:47,494
right beside

553
00:20:48,194 --> 00:20:50,835
this motorcycle wreck. He said, this is what

554
00:20:50,835 --> 00:20:52,434
happened. This is her she watched the whole

555
00:20:52,434 --> 00:20:55,359
thing. She was the person directly beside,

556
00:20:56,140 --> 00:20:58,000
the guy that died on the motorcycle.

557
00:20:58,619 --> 00:20:59,119
Okay.

558
00:20:59,420 --> 00:21:01,420
There was a car coming down I 25

559
00:21:01,420 --> 00:21:03,519
the other on the other direction going northbound.

560
00:21:03,579 --> 00:21:04,720
She was going southbound.

561
00:21:05,500 --> 00:21:08,000
And tire came off of the car,

562
00:21:09,234 --> 00:21:11,394
ran through the median, hit something in the

563
00:21:11,394 --> 00:21:13,255
median, bounced up in the air.

564
00:21:13,634 --> 00:21:15,714
She said she's watching this happen, and she

565
00:21:15,714 --> 00:21:17,335
thinks it's gonna hit her van.

566
00:21:18,034 --> 00:21:20,274
K. It goes up and it and it

567
00:21:20,274 --> 00:21:22,134
goes over all of this. Like, 20

568
00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:24,730
something, 30 something motorcycles all riding together.

569
00:21:25,509 --> 00:21:27,829
Goes over all of the motorcycles until it

570
00:21:27,829 --> 00:21:29,609
hits the very back

571
00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:32,089
guy on the motorcycle.

572
00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:35,130
It hit him square right here.

573
00:21:35,444 --> 00:21:38,085
Instantly killed him, instantly. And he said, this

574
00:21:38,085 --> 00:21:40,244
is where it got so weirdly, spiritually bizarre.

575
00:21:40,244 --> 00:21:40,984
He said,

576
00:21:41,924 --> 00:21:44,345
it killed him. He just

577
00:21:45,204 --> 00:21:46,825
laid back on the motorcycle dead, instantly dead,

578
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,740
laid back on the seat on his motorcycle.

579
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,160
She's now worried because that motorcycle is not

580
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:56,820
being driven.

581
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:58,660
K.

582
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,400
The motorcycle didn't veer, didn't stop. It just

583
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,400
kept driving straight down the middle of the

584
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:04,694
lane,

585
00:22:05,494 --> 00:22:07,734
slowed down, slowed down. She's braking this time,

586
00:22:07,734 --> 00:22:09,734
so she's getting slower faster at a quicker

587
00:22:09,734 --> 00:22:12,214
rate. And so the motorcycle is still slowing

588
00:22:12,214 --> 00:22:13,355
down, slowing down,

589
00:22:14,134 --> 00:22:16,554
slowly pulls over to the shoulder

590
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:19,600
and then just stops against the guardrail and

591
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,299
kind of leans over onto the guardrail.

592
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,840
The guy is laying back on his back

593
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,140
dead the whole time.

594
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,320
She's and when he's telling me this, he's

595
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,460
tearing up because he said, God did that.

596
00:22:31,954 --> 00:22:32,775
How does that happen?

597
00:22:34,595 --> 00:22:36,355
And he said, God protected my wife and

598
00:22:36,355 --> 00:22:37,954
my kids in the van right beside the

599
00:22:37,954 --> 00:22:38,454
motorcycle.

600
00:22:40,194 --> 00:22:42,035
That guy didn't get up that morning saying,

601
00:22:42,035 --> 00:22:44,755
I think I'm gonna ride my motorcycle and

602
00:22:44,755 --> 00:22:46,454
this is the last day of my life.

603
00:22:47,149 --> 00:22:48,289
He didn't say that.

604
00:22:48,589 --> 00:22:49,890
He wasn't thinking that.

605
00:22:52,190 --> 00:22:54,829
Guys, I we there has to be a

606
00:22:54,829 --> 00:22:57,149
moment. There has to be some times I

607
00:22:57,149 --> 00:22:58,829
don't believe it's a moment. I believe it's

608
00:22:58,829 --> 00:23:00,515
moments in our life

609
00:23:00,815 --> 00:23:01,875
when we realize,

610
00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:04,195
our own mortality.

611
00:23:04,894 --> 00:23:05,875
That we're limited.

612
00:23:06,974 --> 00:23:08,494
Do we have a certain amount of time

613
00:23:08,494 --> 00:23:09,934
on this earth? And even if you live

614
00:23:09,934 --> 00:23:11,695
it out to the way Psalm says 70

615
00:23:11,695 --> 00:23:13,599
or 80 years, that's a long time. We've

616
00:23:13,679 --> 00:23:15,119
You know, a lot of people live past

617
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,099
80 years nowadays.

618
00:23:17,679 --> 00:23:20,099
Right? But that's still not very long.

619
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,440
And as I get older, I'm recognizing that.

620
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,460
I'm realizing how short

621
00:23:25,835 --> 00:23:26,335
life

622
00:23:27,595 --> 00:23:29,454
is, how how this little

623
00:23:29,994 --> 00:23:31,055
bleep of time

624
00:23:33,914 --> 00:23:35,695
What are we doing with it?

625
00:23:36,875 --> 00:23:39,375
What are What's happening in Luke chapter 16?

626
00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:43,400
I,

627
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:46,200
was thinking about this the other day.

628
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:51,460
So my mother passed away 4 years ago

629
00:23:51,460 --> 00:23:51,960
this

630
00:23:52,579 --> 00:23:54,200
this summer, this last summer.

631
00:23:55,214 --> 00:23:57,794
Do you know the rapture is basically irrelevant

632
00:23:59,214 --> 00:24:00,194
in that context?

633
00:24:01,934 --> 00:24:04,035
Didn't matter when the rapture is gonna happen.

634
00:24:04,654 --> 00:24:06,115
She died 4 years ago.

635
00:24:07,775 --> 00:24:09,315
Doesn't doesn't matter

636
00:24:09,919 --> 00:24:11,359
when the rapture is gonna happen for that

637
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,259
guy on the motorcycle.

638
00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:15,140
He died last Friday.

639
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,819
Rapture is irrelevant to that point.

640
00:24:20,319 --> 00:24:22,799
But there needs to be an urgency because

641
00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:24,579
of this thing we call life

642
00:24:24,884 --> 00:24:25,625
and death.

643
00:24:26,325 --> 00:24:28,164
And again, it just feels like we just

644
00:24:28,164 --> 00:24:28,984
don't have

645
00:24:29,684 --> 00:24:31,445
this urgency in the church. I think part

646
00:24:31,445 --> 00:24:32,265
of it's because,

647
00:24:33,365 --> 00:24:35,305
well, there's no heaven. There's no hell.

648
00:24:35,684 --> 00:24:36,744
There's no sin.

649
00:24:37,589 --> 00:24:38,890
There's no right or wrong.

650
00:24:39,589 --> 00:24:41,369
This is just about going to church.

651
00:24:42,150 --> 00:24:44,069
Well, if those things are true, then what's

652
00:24:44,069 --> 00:24:45,369
the There is no urgency.

653
00:24:46,789 --> 00:24:48,630
There is no urgency. Look in Luke chapter

654
00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:50,804
16. Okay? Now let me throw this out

655
00:24:50,804 --> 00:24:52,964
here before I jump into this. Jesus tells

656
00:24:52,964 --> 00:24:55,065
us a lot of parables in scripture. Okay?

657
00:24:55,444 --> 00:24:57,605
When he tells us a parable, it is

658
00:24:57,605 --> 00:24:59,924
it is got a certain parameter built into

659
00:24:59,924 --> 00:25:01,384
it that lets you know it's a parable.

660
00:25:01,605 --> 00:25:04,164
Sometimes, he literally says he's gonna tell us

661
00:25:04,164 --> 00:25:04,664
parables.

662
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,059
Right? But

663
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,539
when there are names

664
00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:13,740
in the stories, they're not parables.

665
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,460
They're stories.

666
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,220
They're true stories

667
00:25:18,759 --> 00:25:20,059
about real people.

668
00:25:21,315 --> 00:25:24,054
And the people of the time frame

669
00:25:24,515 --> 00:25:27,174
would have known who these people are.

670
00:25:27,795 --> 00:25:29,734
That's why we know they're not parables.

671
00:25:30,994 --> 00:25:31,494
Okay.

672
00:25:32,289 --> 00:25:34,849
Alright. This is a true story that Jesus

673
00:25:34,849 --> 00:25:36,390
is telling. This is not a parable.

674
00:25:37,089 --> 00:25:38,930
Jesus said, there was a certain rich man

675
00:25:38,930 --> 00:25:41,809
who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine

676
00:25:41,809 --> 00:25:42,309
linen

677
00:25:42,930 --> 00:25:45,029
who lived each day in luxury.

678
00:25:46,394 --> 00:25:48,715
At his gate lay a poor man poor

679
00:25:48,715 --> 00:25:50,955
man named Lazarus. This is not the Lazarus

680
00:25:50,955 --> 00:25:53,115
of Mary and Martha and Lazarus. Okay. It's

681
00:25:53,115 --> 00:25:54,015
a different Lazarus.

682
00:25:55,195 --> 00:25:56,875
At his gate lay a poor man named

683
00:25:56,875 --> 00:25:58,975
Lazarus who was covered with sores.

684
00:25:59,669 --> 00:26:02,149
As Lazarus lay their longing for scraps from

685
00:26:02,149 --> 00:26:04,470
the rich man's table, the dogs would come

686
00:26:04,470 --> 00:26:06,549
and lick his open sores. I'm glad he

687
00:26:06,549 --> 00:26:08,009
included that in the story.

688
00:26:08,789 --> 00:26:10,950
Finally, the poor man died and was carried

689
00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:12,789
to the angels to sit beside Abraham at

690
00:26:12,789 --> 00:26:15,195
the heavenly banquet. This is before,

691
00:26:16,055 --> 00:26:17,195
God's giving us,

692
00:26:18,134 --> 00:26:19,255
access to,

693
00:26:19,654 --> 00:26:21,595
Jesus has not died on the cross yet.

694
00:26:21,815 --> 00:26:23,575
After Jesus dies on the cross, when you

695
00:26:23,575 --> 00:26:25,255
are separate from this body, you are present

696
00:26:25,255 --> 00:26:28,509
with Christ. You're merely with Jesus Abraham's bosom.

697
00:26:28,649 --> 00:26:29,529
This is before this. This is why, if

698
00:26:29,529 --> 00:26:30,511
you just want to study this stuff out,

699
00:26:30,511 --> 00:26:31,130
this is why in, in,

700
00:26:31,609 --> 00:26:34,089
chapter, Matthew chapter 25, I think it is,

701
00:26:34,089 --> 00:26:35,869
or maybe 26. I think it's 25.

702
00:26:42,855 --> 00:26:44,694
When it says, after Jesus dies on the

703
00:26:44,694 --> 00:26:46,454
cross, the graves open up and they could

704
00:26:46,454 --> 00:26:48,454
see the saints walking. That's part of that

705
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:50,775
understanding. Abraham's bosom, all that kind of stuff.

706
00:26:50,775 --> 00:26:52,474
Okay. Now, with that,

707
00:26:54,134 --> 00:26:55,994
the rich man also died

708
00:26:56,559 --> 00:26:58,339
and was buried and he went to

709
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,180
the place of the dead.

710
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:01,859
There,

711
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,480
in torment, he saw Abraham in the far

712
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,820
distance with Lazarus at his side.

713
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,140
Okay. So you've got

714
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,075
you got the place of the dead and

715
00:27:11,075 --> 00:27:13,654
you've got Abraham's bosom is what it's called.

716
00:27:14,115 --> 00:27:14,434
And,

717
00:27:14,914 --> 00:27:17,414
so Lazarus goes to Abraham's bosom

718
00:27:17,955 --> 00:27:20,434
and the rich man goes to the equivalent

719
00:27:20,434 --> 00:27:23,250
of hell. Alright. This isn't the hell. This

720
00:27:23,250 --> 00:27:25,009
isn't the fullness of hell that we see

721
00:27:25,009 --> 00:27:26,769
in Revelation at the end where he throws

722
00:27:26,769 --> 00:27:27,670
Satan and,

723
00:27:28,289 --> 00:27:30,049
the the devil and his angels, all that

724
00:27:30,049 --> 00:27:31,829
kind of stuff, but this is that place.

725
00:27:31,970 --> 00:27:32,470
Okay?

726
00:27:32,930 --> 00:27:34,930
Alright. Now with that being said and the

727
00:27:34,930 --> 00:27:36,210
the reason I say all of that is

728
00:27:36,210 --> 00:27:38,144
because I guys, I hear all the time

729
00:27:38,144 --> 00:27:39,825
from people. I hear from Christians. I hear

730
00:27:39,825 --> 00:27:41,984
from church leaders. I I see where guys

731
00:27:41,984 --> 00:27:43,825
write this stuff in books. These are pastors

732
00:27:43,825 --> 00:27:44,565
and theologians

733
00:27:44,865 --> 00:27:47,184
that say that there is no such thing

734
00:27:47,184 --> 00:27:49,585
as hell, that that is a creation of

735
00:27:49,585 --> 00:27:51,765
the church. It's not a biblical understanding.

736
00:27:54,299 --> 00:27:55,119
Hell is described

737
00:27:55,579 --> 00:27:59,019
many times in scripture. Different descriptions of it.

738
00:27:59,019 --> 00:28:01,579
Different aspects of it. But it is a

739
00:28:01,579 --> 00:28:03,740
very real thing. But see, here's where the

740
00:28:03,740 --> 00:28:05,339
church is at. If the church does not

741
00:28:05,339 --> 00:28:07,259
believe there's hell, then what are you being

742
00:28:07,259 --> 00:28:09,734
saved from? What are you being saved to?

743
00:28:11,234 --> 00:28:13,714
Right? And it's interesting. They all believe in

744
00:28:13,714 --> 00:28:14,214
heaven.

745
00:28:15,474 --> 00:28:17,875
That's the part that irritates me. You're getting

746
00:28:17,875 --> 00:28:20,914
heaven from the same book that hell comes

747
00:28:20,914 --> 00:28:21,414
from.

748
00:28:21,954 --> 00:28:24,029
Why do you just choose 1? Well, because

749
00:28:24,029 --> 00:28:26,029
heaven's a lot easier, isn't it? Yeah. It

750
00:28:26,029 --> 00:28:26,529
is.

751
00:28:27,549 --> 00:28:29,309
But there really is such a thing as

752
00:28:29,309 --> 00:28:31,309
hell. And and the more the church tries

753
00:28:31,309 --> 00:28:32,769
to sideline that or disassociate,

754
00:28:33,150 --> 00:28:34,750
or I think just kind of erase it

755
00:28:34,750 --> 00:28:36,615
from the story. Guys, it

756
00:28:36,994 --> 00:28:39,154
comes back to then what is Jesus dying

757
00:28:39,154 --> 00:28:41,075
on the cross for? Because if it's just

758
00:28:41,075 --> 00:28:42,595
to give us a little bit better life

759
00:28:42,595 --> 00:28:44,355
on this earth, and then we're all just

760
00:28:44,355 --> 00:28:45,734
going to get there anyway,

761
00:28:46,115 --> 00:28:48,755
then why would Jesus himself die? Couldn't he

762
00:28:48,755 --> 00:28:50,934
have sent something else like an angel?

763
00:28:52,250 --> 00:28:54,649
Why would the son of God himself, God

764
00:28:54,649 --> 00:28:56,730
in human flesh need to die? It's because

765
00:28:56,730 --> 00:28:59,129
this is the utmost of importance and he

766
00:28:59,129 --> 00:29:01,849
is literally saving you and I from the

767
00:29:01,849 --> 00:29:03,629
clutches of Satan himself

768
00:29:04,089 --> 00:29:04,909
in hell.

769
00:29:05,705 --> 00:29:06,984
And we don't like to say that in

770
00:29:06,984 --> 00:29:07,884
the church nowadays,

771
00:29:08,424 --> 00:29:09,644
but that's just reality.

772
00:29:11,065 --> 00:29:13,625
When when when you come across somebody that

773
00:29:13,625 --> 00:29:15,625
says there is no hell, I would I

774
00:29:15,625 --> 00:29:17,545
would this would be a one of the

775
00:29:17,545 --> 00:29:19,650
ways you could approach this. Say, if I

776
00:29:19,650 --> 00:29:21,910
brought you a bunch of scriptures that prove

777
00:29:22,210 --> 00:29:24,369
that there is a hell, would you believe

778
00:29:24,369 --> 00:29:24,869
it?

779
00:29:25,170 --> 00:29:27,190
From the Bible, many sentences

780
00:29:27,730 --> 00:29:29,970
that show and describe hell, would you believe

781
00:29:29,970 --> 00:29:32,130
it? Because this is the thing that gets

782
00:29:32,130 --> 00:29:34,515
me is I don't think they I think

783
00:29:34,515 --> 00:29:36,515
they don't believe it because of a choice,

784
00:29:36,515 --> 00:29:38,294
not because of what scripture says.

785
00:29:38,755 --> 00:29:41,075
They're just hoping it's not real because it's

786
00:29:41,075 --> 00:29:43,315
easier that way. You can do whatever you

787
00:29:43,315 --> 00:29:43,815
want.

788
00:29:44,355 --> 00:29:46,134
Doesn't matter what you say.

789
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:47,960
Doesn't matter what you do. Doesn't matter what

790
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,279
you think. Doesn't matter where you go. What

791
00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:52,299
you're what you're involved with doesn't matter.

792
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:54,119
Because I mean we're kind of all gonna

793
00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:55,099
get there anyway.

794
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,799
And then you got the group that says

795
00:29:57,799 --> 00:29:59,559
I'd rather be in hell with my friends.

796
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:01,214
I'd rather party in hell. I I heard

797
00:30:01,214 --> 00:30:03,714
that so much when I was a teenager.

798
00:30:03,855 --> 00:30:05,855
Other, I'd rather party in hell with my

799
00:30:05,855 --> 00:30:07,855
friends than go to heaven with with all

800
00:30:07,855 --> 00:30:08,994
those church people.

801
00:30:11,214 --> 00:30:12,755
You're an absolute moron.

802
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,579
That that makes no sense.

803
00:30:18,679 --> 00:30:21,559
Why? Because we don't really understand. And if

804
00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:23,339
we do, we don't really believe

805
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,960
in our soul, in our heart, or we're

806
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,176
choosing not to. Look what he says. The

807
00:30:28,176 --> 00:30:29,265
rich man's shrouded

808
00:30:30,384 --> 00:30:31,605
The rich man shouted,

809
00:30:33,345 --> 00:30:35,904
father Abraham have some pity. Send Lazarus. All

810
00:30:35,904 --> 00:30:37,505
of a sudden he cares who Lazarus is.

811
00:30:37,505 --> 00:30:38,785
Lazarus has been sitting at the gate, been

812
00:30:38,785 --> 00:30:40,945
walking by him every day for years. Doesn't

813
00:30:40,945 --> 00:30:42,704
care who Lazarus is. All of a sudden

814
00:30:42,704 --> 00:30:43,765
Lazarus is important.

815
00:30:44,529 --> 00:30:46,690
And people say, hell is not a real

816
00:30:46,690 --> 00:30:47,190
thing.

817
00:30:57,434 --> 00:30:59,087
Difference is is if I'm a Christian, I

818
00:30:59,087 --> 00:31:00,491
belong to Jesus, then I have it's not

819
00:31:00,491 --> 00:31:01,855
it's not in reference to me.

820
00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:12,016
Right. I worry about hell if I don't

821
00:31:12,016 --> 00:31:13,039
belong to Jesus, or I worry about hell

822
00:31:13,039 --> 00:31:14,960
for my friends and family that don't know

823
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:15,460
Jesus.

824
00:31:24,734 --> 00:31:26,815
That's where that's where it gets Here's your

825
00:31:26,815 --> 00:31:28,654
first. He says, just the tip of his

826
00:31:28,654 --> 00:31:30,815
finger and water and cool my tongue. I

827
00:31:30,815 --> 00:31:33,154
am in anguish in these flames.

828
00:31:35,214 --> 00:31:36,779
And and let me throw this out too.

829
00:31:36,940 --> 00:31:38,859
Even if somehow you think this is a

830
00:31:38,859 --> 00:31:40,700
parable, which I don't but it's okay I

831
00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:42,779
guess if you do. If you think this

832
00:31:42,779 --> 00:31:44,859
is a parable, Jesus is not making stuff

833
00:31:44,859 --> 00:31:46,480
up that's not true in parables.

834
00:31:47,660 --> 00:31:49,279
He's telling truth in parables.

835
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:51,200
Okay?

836
00:31:52,365 --> 00:31:54,445
Abraham said to him, son, remember that during

837
00:31:54,445 --> 00:31:56,605
your lifetime you had everything you wanted and

838
00:31:56,605 --> 00:31:58,065
Lazarus had nothing.

839
00:31:58,845 --> 00:32:00,684
So now he is here being comfort and

840
00:32:00,684 --> 00:32:02,285
you are in anguish. Now I do wanna

841
00:32:02,285 --> 00:32:03,325
think I I have to say this. I

842
00:32:03,325 --> 00:32:04,464
do think this is important.

843
00:32:05,009 --> 00:32:05,910
Being poor

844
00:32:06,210 --> 00:32:08,150
does not give you access to heaven.

845
00:32:08,930 --> 00:32:10,769
That's not what Jesus is trying to say

846
00:32:10,769 --> 00:32:13,430
here. K? Does does the Lord have,

847
00:32:13,970 --> 00:32:16,289
special compassion on poor people? Yeah. He says

848
00:32:16,289 --> 00:32:18,455
this all through scripture. And as Christians, we're

849
00:32:18,455 --> 00:32:20,795
also care supposed to care about poor people,

850
00:32:21,174 --> 00:32:21,674
right?

851
00:32:22,615 --> 00:32:24,055
Take care of the widows and the orphans.

852
00:32:24,055 --> 00:32:26,855
This is scriptural stuff. Sometimes we get so

853
00:32:26,855 --> 00:32:29,575
involved in our own materialistic direction and gains

854
00:32:29,575 --> 00:32:31,095
that we forget there are people that go

855
00:32:31,095 --> 00:32:32,075
without stuff.

856
00:32:32,855 --> 00:32:35,490
Right? Now, I I have found that there

857
00:32:35,490 --> 00:32:36,230
is actual

858
00:32:36,690 --> 00:32:38,849
crazy abject poverty around the rest of the

859
00:32:38,849 --> 00:32:40,710
world, not so much in America.

860
00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:43,169
It does exist in America, but it's a

861
00:32:43,169 --> 00:32:45,009
different kind of poverty. And if you've ever

862
00:32:45,009 --> 00:32:46,609
been anywhere else around the world, you know

863
00:32:46,609 --> 00:32:47,269
the difference.

864
00:32:48,855 --> 00:32:49,355
Okay?

865
00:32:50,214 --> 00:32:52,934
But but this idea that somehow that Lazarus

866
00:32:52,934 --> 00:32:55,035
has that that's how he got to heaven,

867
00:32:56,055 --> 00:32:58,375
that's how he's standing there beside Abraham, that

868
00:32:58,375 --> 00:33:00,474
is not not because he's poor,

869
00:33:01,299 --> 00:33:02,119
because he knew

870
00:33:02,660 --> 00:33:04,440
God. He had a relationship with God.

871
00:33:06,099 --> 00:33:08,660
And and the rich man's not in hell

872
00:33:08,660 --> 00:33:09,720
because he's rich.

873
00:33:10,420 --> 00:33:10,920
Right?

874
00:33:11,380 --> 00:33:14,975
These things are natural directions that show attitude

875
00:33:14,975 --> 00:33:16,494
of life and stuff like that, which could

876
00:33:16,494 --> 00:33:18,735
lead to that. But it's not it's not

877
00:33:18,735 --> 00:33:20,815
a given. If you're rich, you go to

878
00:33:20,815 --> 00:33:21,315
hell.

879
00:33:22,015 --> 00:33:23,775
I I've actually heard people say that over

880
00:33:23,775 --> 00:33:24,434
the years.

881
00:33:24,735 --> 00:33:26,575
There's and they take from the scripture, it's

882
00:33:26,575 --> 00:33:27,934
more difficult for camel to go to the

883
00:33:27,934 --> 00:33:29,360
eye of the needle than a rich person

884
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,640
to get to heaven. That means all rich

885
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:31,779
people are going to hell.

886
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,180
I don't think that's what that says.

887
00:33:35,119 --> 00:33:36,880
Right? But we do things like that. Right?

888
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:37,380
So

889
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:38,900
he says,

890
00:33:42,595 --> 00:33:45,475
and besides there's a great chasm separating us.

891
00:33:45,475 --> 00:33:46,995
No one can cross over to you from

892
00:33:46,995 --> 00:33:48,835
here. No one can cross over to us

893
00:33:48,835 --> 00:33:49,575
from there.

894
00:33:50,434 --> 00:33:52,115
This is important too. That seems like a

895
00:33:52,115 --> 00:33:55,394
little casual statement. But there's mentalities nowadays that

896
00:33:55,394 --> 00:33:57,390
are being taught in the church that hell

897
00:33:57,390 --> 00:33:58,289
is rehabilitative,

898
00:33:59,390 --> 00:34:01,470
and that after a while you'll work your

899
00:34:01,470 --> 00:34:02,210
way to

900
00:34:02,590 --> 00:34:03,090
heaven.

901
00:34:04,029 --> 00:34:06,609
There's no bridge from hell to heaven. Okay?

902
00:34:06,750 --> 00:34:08,050
Hell is not rehabilitative.

903
00:34:08,510 --> 00:34:10,815
It's never designed that way. It is it

904
00:34:10,815 --> 00:34:11,635
is literally

905
00:34:12,255 --> 00:34:14,434
eternal torment and punishment

906
00:34:14,894 --> 00:34:17,715
because you chose something besides Jesus.

907
00:34:18,574 --> 00:34:20,734
He gives you opportunities, but you choose something

908
00:34:20,734 --> 00:34:21,234
else.

909
00:34:22,094 --> 00:34:24,539
Hey. The rich man said, please father Abraham,

910
00:34:24,539 --> 00:34:26,480
at least send him to my father's home.

911
00:34:26,860 --> 00:34:28,320
I have 5 brothers.

912
00:34:29,579 --> 00:34:32,480
Now, he's concerned about his 5 brothers spiritual

913
00:34:32,619 --> 00:34:33,119
direction.

914
00:34:35,105 --> 00:34:36,964
I've said this at many funerals,

915
00:34:37,424 --> 00:34:39,424
almost every funeral I've ever done. I'll say,

916
00:34:39,424 --> 00:34:41,105
I can promise you one thing. I know

917
00:34:41,105 --> 00:34:42,085
this for sure

918
00:34:42,944 --> 00:34:44,964
that the person that died,

919
00:34:45,424 --> 00:34:48,704
that they their number one priority for you

920
00:34:48,704 --> 00:34:50,699
right now is that you know Jesus.

921
00:34:52,619 --> 00:34:54,780
No matter whether they're with Jesus or not

922
00:34:54,780 --> 00:34:55,440
with Jesus,

923
00:34:56,059 --> 00:34:58,539
their number one priority for you is that

924
00:34:58,539 --> 00:34:59,440
you know Jesus.

925
00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:02,539
This rich man's number one priority is that

926
00:35:02,539 --> 00:35:04,635
his brothers be warned,

927
00:35:05,735 --> 00:35:07,255
because he doesn't want them to end up

928
00:35:07,255 --> 00:35:08,235
where he is.

929
00:35:10,055 --> 00:35:12,295
I want him to warn them so that

930
00:35:12,295 --> 00:35:13,735
they don't end up in this place of

931
00:35:13,735 --> 00:35:16,295
torment. But Abraham said, Moses and the prophets

932
00:35:16,295 --> 00:35:17,035
warned them.

933
00:35:19,460 --> 00:35:20,359
You've been told.

934
00:35:21,780 --> 00:35:23,380
You've been told. And you have a whole

935
00:35:23,380 --> 00:35:24,980
life to live this out. You have a

936
00:35:24,980 --> 00:35:27,299
whole life to make this decision. Day after

937
00:35:27,299 --> 00:35:29,460
day after day, you make this decision. Do

938
00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:31,159
I serve Jesus? Do I not?

939
00:35:31,914 --> 00:35:33,594
Am I am I all in with Jesus

940
00:35:33,594 --> 00:35:34,574
or am I not?

941
00:35:37,034 --> 00:35:38,875
Your brothers can read what they wrote. The

942
00:35:38,875 --> 00:35:40,635
rich man replied, no father, amen. But if

943
00:35:40,635 --> 00:35:42,494
someone is sent to them from the dead,

944
00:35:42,714 --> 00:35:44,315
then they will repent of their sins and

945
00:35:44,315 --> 00:35:45,295
turn to God.

946
00:35:45,670 --> 00:35:48,969
Well, that happened. Moses wrote and he's dead.

947
00:35:49,670 --> 00:35:52,090
He told you. But here's the bigger one.

948
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:52,650
Jesus,

949
00:35:53,030 --> 00:35:55,210
for us, Jesus actually

950
00:35:55,590 --> 00:35:58,090
died and came back and told us.

951
00:36:00,425 --> 00:36:01,545
And he's saying, but you

952
00:36:02,264 --> 00:36:04,105
but but I need somebody else. I need

953
00:36:04,105 --> 00:36:04,844
more people.

954
00:36:05,224 --> 00:36:07,405
This has always been the question for me.

955
00:36:09,065 --> 00:36:10,744
And this was this was the question for

956
00:36:10,744 --> 00:36:12,105
me too when I was when I was

957
00:36:12,105 --> 00:36:14,125
not serving Jesus, when I wasn't a Christian.

958
00:36:28,054 --> 00:36:29,174
I mean, I can tell you what it

959
00:36:29,174 --> 00:36:31,014
took for me but what what does it

960
00:36:31,014 --> 00:36:33,194
take what does it take for anybody?

961
00:36:34,454 --> 00:36:36,855
Jesus has given us the information. But here's

962
00:36:36,855 --> 00:36:38,534
part of what's happening is the church has

963
00:36:38,534 --> 00:36:40,969
been complicit in this. The the more that

964
00:36:40,969 --> 00:36:43,449
we do not talk about sin, the more

965
00:36:43,449 --> 00:36:45,130
that we do not talk about heaven or

966
00:36:45,130 --> 00:36:47,069
hell, the more that we do not show

967
00:36:47,130 --> 00:36:48,969
the reality of what this means in the

968
00:36:48,969 --> 00:36:51,609
bible, we are hurting people and we are

969
00:36:51,609 --> 00:36:52,589
we are condemning

970
00:36:52,889 --> 00:36:56,224
them to not knowing the ultimate truth. And

971
00:36:56,224 --> 00:36:58,704
so therefore, there's no urgency. There's no reason

972
00:36:58,704 --> 00:37:00,785
for them to need Jis. There's no reason.

973
00:37:00,785 --> 00:37:01,824
All they have to do is just go

974
00:37:01,824 --> 00:37:03,425
to church every now and then do some

975
00:37:03,425 --> 00:37:04,085
good things.

976
00:37:04,625 --> 00:37:06,324
And it's basically okay.

977
00:37:07,839 --> 00:37:09,859
Because that is not biblical truth.

978
00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:11,460
That's not

979
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:12,420
reality.

980
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:15,839
The reality is there that Jesus really did

981
00:37:15,839 --> 00:37:17,920
that on the cross for what? To cover

982
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,760
us with his blood, forgive us of our

983
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,480
sins, so that we turn our entire life

984
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:22,905
to him.

985
00:37:24,105 --> 00:37:25,644
Not a little along the way,

986
00:37:26,105 --> 00:37:28,284
but that we belong to Jesus.

987
00:37:29,385 --> 00:37:32,364
That he's not just the the the originator

988
00:37:32,505 --> 00:37:34,344
of this thing we this religion we call

989
00:37:34,344 --> 00:37:36,829
Christianity, But he's actually my savior,

990
00:37:37,289 --> 00:37:39,630
my God, my King, my Redeemer.

991
00:37:40,650 --> 00:37:43,069
And according to Romans 12, I put myself

992
00:37:43,449 --> 00:37:46,170
up on his altar and I sacrificed myself

993
00:37:46,170 --> 00:37:46,909
to him.

994
00:37:48,489 --> 00:37:52,054
This is this is what true Christianity

995
00:37:52,914 --> 00:37:53,414
is.

996
00:37:54,275 --> 00:37:55,875
We can we can kind of go along

997
00:37:55,875 --> 00:37:56,375
with

998
00:37:57,234 --> 00:37:59,795
the the kind of the woke mentality that

999
00:37:59,795 --> 00:38:02,675
the church is in involved in so strongly

1000
00:38:02,675 --> 00:38:03,175
now.

1001
00:38:03,635 --> 00:38:04,760
That use

1002
00:38:05,860 --> 00:38:06,760
the term love. I don't even think it

1003
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,960
applies here. But you love them enough to

1004
00:38:09,619 --> 00:38:10,119
not

1005
00:38:10,579 --> 00:38:11,639
hurt their feelings.

1006
00:38:18,804 --> 00:38:20,965
But you don't love them enough to keep

1007
00:38:20,965 --> 00:38:22,025
them out of hell.

1008
00:38:24,244 --> 00:38:26,505
That that makes no sense to me.

1009
00:38:26,965 --> 00:38:28,644
That that is the opposite of what the

1010
00:38:28,644 --> 00:38:30,849
church is supposed to be about. But I

1011
00:38:30,849 --> 00:38:32,530
would much rather have people come to the

1012
00:38:32,530 --> 00:38:33,909
church and give in the offering.

1013
00:38:35,250 --> 00:38:37,489
That's the disease that the church has. I

1014
00:38:37,489 --> 00:38:39,409
want more people in the seats and more

1015
00:38:39,409 --> 00:38:39,909
money.

1016
00:38:40,449 --> 00:38:42,289
So we can't offend anybody because then they

1017
00:38:42,289 --> 00:38:43,190
won't come back.

1018
00:38:45,234 --> 00:38:45,894
That's sad.

1019
00:38:46,514 --> 00:38:48,994
Guys, we're hurting. We're hurting the people that

1020
00:38:48,994 --> 00:38:50,914
God said we're supposed to love. God says

1021
00:38:50,914 --> 00:38:53,335
love God with everything. Love your neighbors yourself.

1022
00:38:53,474 --> 00:38:55,315
When you split those 2 and you only

1023
00:38:55,315 --> 00:38:57,494
focus on one side, neither become true.

1024
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,538
All be about God and then therefore, you

1025
00:39:00,538 --> 00:39:00,708
don't witness. You don't you're not ministering to

1026
00:39:00,708 --> 00:39:01,239
others. We're just all about God. Well then,

1027
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,760
actually, you're not because then he says the

1028
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:03,420
next sentence,

1029
00:39:10,295 --> 00:39:12,614
this next law is the same as the

1030
00:39:12,614 --> 00:39:14,055
first one. It's just as important the first

1031
00:39:14,055 --> 00:39:16,535
one. Love your neighbor as yourself, as yourself,

1032
00:39:16,535 --> 00:39:17,974
which means if you want to go to

1033
00:39:17,974 --> 00:39:20,474
heaven, you should love people that much.

1034
00:39:22,070 --> 00:39:24,309
And then churches become all about loving people,

1035
00:39:24,309 --> 00:39:26,469
and they're not really loving God because if

1036
00:39:26,469 --> 00:39:28,230
they love people, they would tell people what

1037
00:39:28,230 --> 00:39:29,349
is right and wrong. They would tell them

1038
00:39:29,349 --> 00:39:31,269
what the Bible says. They would tell them

1039
00:39:31,269 --> 00:39:33,190
that there is life and death, and that

1040
00:39:33,190 --> 00:39:35,065
you don't have to go to hell because

1041
00:39:35,065 --> 00:39:36,905
if we really love them, we'll do that,

1042
00:39:36,905 --> 00:39:39,324
which that actually comes from love for God.

1043
00:39:40,105 --> 00:39:42,344
When we really love God, we will truly

1044
00:39:42,344 --> 00:39:44,204
love people. Not limitedly,

1045
00:39:44,824 --> 00:39:47,545
not not just for us, but we will

1046
00:39:47,545 --> 00:39:49,005
love them to God

1047
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,920
or we're not really loving them. We're really

1048
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,239
liking them a lot. And I would even

1049
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,420
argue, how much do you really like them?

1050
00:39:58,760 --> 00:39:59,260
Right?

1051
00:40:02,414 --> 00:40:03,934
Listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't

1052
00:40:03,934 --> 00:40:05,215
be persuaded even if someone rises from the

1053
00:40:05,215 --> 00:40:06,195
dead. And

1054
00:40:15,170 --> 00:40:15,670
that's

1055
00:40:16,130 --> 00:40:17,590
a stark reality.

1056
00:40:18,690 --> 00:40:20,530
So a few things here. I've put 4

1057
00:40:20,530 --> 00:40:21,349
things together.

1058
00:40:21,650 --> 00:40:23,590
The first one, hell is real.

1059
00:40:24,210 --> 00:40:26,530
As we we've got to the church has

1060
00:40:26,530 --> 00:40:28,210
got to come back to seeing this as

1061
00:40:28,210 --> 00:40:28,869
a reality.

1062
00:40:30,505 --> 00:40:33,164
We've lost this. We don't think this is

1063
00:40:33,224 --> 00:40:35,005
a thing anymore. It doesn't matter.

1064
00:40:35,625 --> 00:40:38,264
We have a very strong universalism that's invaded

1065
00:40:38,264 --> 00:40:38,844
the church.

1066
00:40:39,144 --> 00:40:40,744
In other words, everybody's going to get to

1067
00:40:40,744 --> 00:40:42,764
wherever they're going to go. Well, actually, universalism

1068
00:40:42,824 --> 00:40:44,605
is everybody's going to get to heaven someday.

1069
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:45,912
Unitarianism, then that means everybody's going to get

1070
00:40:45,912 --> 00:40:46,819
wherever they think they're going.

1071
00:40:47,759 --> 00:40:47,880
That makes a lot of sense. We're all

1072
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:48,000
just going to get where we think. So

1073
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:48,739
that means

1074
00:40:57,835 --> 00:41:00,574
that when a Muslim blows themselves up by

1075
00:41:00,994 --> 00:41:01,494
a,

1076
00:41:02,074 --> 00:41:05,275
a suicide vest, that they really are going

1077
00:41:05,275 --> 00:41:07,695
to end up in paradise with 70 virgins.

1078
00:41:12,119 --> 00:41:13,980
Everything Jesus says is not true, because he

1079
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,699
says that's not true.

1080
00:41:25,954 --> 00:41:27,175
So which is it?

1081
00:41:28,515 --> 00:41:30,755
Hell was a real thing. Revelation 20 verse

1082
00:41:30,755 --> 00:41:32,594
11. I saw a great white throne and

1083
00:41:32,594 --> 00:41:33,894
the one sitting on it.

1084
00:41:34,275 --> 00:41:36,355
The earth and sky fled from his presence,

1085
00:41:36,355 --> 00:41:38,135
but they found no place to hide.

1086
00:41:38,699 --> 00:41:40,400
I like the fact that it says, they.

1087
00:41:41,019 --> 00:41:42,880
I don't think he's talking about

1088
00:41:43,339 --> 00:41:44,480
clouds and stuff.

1089
00:41:45,260 --> 00:41:45,760
Right?

1090
00:41:46,380 --> 00:41:48,780
Verse 12. I saw the dead. I love

1091
00:41:48,780 --> 00:41:50,619
this sentence because he says, I saw the

1092
00:41:50,619 --> 00:41:52,320
dead, both great and small,

1093
00:41:52,684 --> 00:41:54,844
standing before God's throne. Well, I thought they

1094
00:41:54,844 --> 00:41:55,505
were dead.

1095
00:41:57,164 --> 00:41:59,664
Uh-huh. They did die on this earth.

1096
00:42:00,605 --> 00:42:02,144
They had a physical death.

1097
00:42:03,565 --> 00:42:04,065
Guys,

1098
00:42:04,779 --> 00:42:06,299
We are every one of us in this

1099
00:42:06,299 --> 00:42:07,920
room, we are eternal

1100
00:42:08,219 --> 00:42:08,719
beings.

1101
00:42:09,980 --> 00:42:11,039
We are spiritually

1102
00:42:11,980 --> 00:42:12,480
transcendent

1103
00:42:12,940 --> 00:42:14,480
of this earth being.

1104
00:42:16,779 --> 00:42:19,119
We're going to be somewhere forever.

1105
00:42:20,295 --> 00:42:21,434
You decide. But the dead,

1106
00:42:33,699 --> 00:42:35,880
John sees the dead standing

1107
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:37,000
there.

1108
00:42:37,619 --> 00:42:38,679
So they died

1109
00:42:39,619 --> 00:42:40,679
in their life.

1110
00:42:41,619 --> 00:42:43,539
And the books were open. I've talked about

1111
00:42:43,539 --> 00:42:45,300
books before. Right? There's there's the book of

1112
00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:46,420
life and then there's other books. There's a

1113
00:42:46,420 --> 00:42:47,699
lot of books are gonna be open at

1114
00:42:47,699 --> 00:42:49,875
this time. K. Including the book of life.

1115
00:42:49,875 --> 00:42:51,394
The book of life is the one that

1116
00:42:51,394 --> 00:42:52,755
if your name is in it, the reason

1117
00:42:52,755 --> 00:42:55,474
it's in there is because Jesus has covered

1118
00:42:55,474 --> 00:42:57,555
you with his blood at your reach out

1119
00:42:57,555 --> 00:42:59,875
of faith. He doesn't just do it. You

1120
00:42:59,875 --> 00:43:01,394
have to ask for this. You have to

1121
00:43:01,394 --> 00:43:04,269
repent of your sins, and by faith embrace

1122
00:43:04,269 --> 00:43:06,510
Jesus covering you with his blood and making

1123
00:43:06,510 --> 00:43:08,429
you right with God the father. Then your

1124
00:43:08,429 --> 00:43:10,049
name is in the book of life.

1125
00:43:10,670 --> 00:43:13,150
The other books are stuff that has done

1126
00:43:13,309 --> 00:43:14,929
has happened in your life.

1127
00:43:15,230 --> 00:43:16,449
The things you've done.

1128
00:43:16,829 --> 00:43:19,465
K? And the dead were judged according to

1129
00:43:19,465 --> 00:43:20,905
what they had done as recorded in the

1130
00:43:20,905 --> 00:43:22,764
books. The sea gave up its dead.

1131
00:43:23,144 --> 00:43:24,764
I I love this part because,

1132
00:43:25,545 --> 00:43:26,824
I was in the navy and so that

1133
00:43:26,824 --> 00:43:29,144
has a a navy feel to it. You

1134
00:43:29,144 --> 00:43:30,719
know, the sea gave up its dead.

1135
00:43:31,199 --> 00:43:32,800
In fact, 2 years ago, this was an

1136
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,280
interesting thing. I so I I am I

1137
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,199
got ministry when I was 20 years old.

1138
00:43:37,199 --> 00:43:37,699
Okay?

1139
00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:38,659
So,

1140
00:43:39,039 --> 00:43:40,659
34 years I've been in ministry.

1141
00:43:43,614 --> 00:43:45,535
The first 15 or so years I was

1142
00:43:45,535 --> 00:43:46,195
in ministry,

1143
00:43:46,655 --> 00:43:48,755
every funeral I did was a coffin

1144
00:43:49,135 --> 00:43:49,635
funeral.

1145
00:43:50,255 --> 00:43:51,315
Every single funeral.

1146
00:43:52,414 --> 00:43:54,335
I I did not see for the first

1147
00:43:54,335 --> 00:43:55,775
15 years I was in ministry, I never

1148
00:43:55,775 --> 00:43:58,739
saw a cremation or or an urn. I'm

1149
00:43:58,739 --> 00:44:00,980
sure they they were obviously happening, but I

1150
00:44:00,980 --> 00:44:02,739
just didn't see that in the church setting.

1151
00:44:02,739 --> 00:44:04,579
They were all coffins. And one of the

1152
00:44:04,579 --> 00:44:05,940
things, and I'm not trying to be, you

1153
00:44:05,940 --> 00:44:07,619
know, too critical here, this is just me

1154
00:44:07,619 --> 00:44:11,000
personally, I don't like coffins open and viewing.

1155
00:44:11,619 --> 00:44:13,464
I've never liked that. I think that's a

1156
00:44:13,585 --> 00:44:15,344
that's there's a lot of cultures that have

1157
00:44:15,344 --> 00:44:17,585
very morbid things. I think that's western culture

1158
00:44:17,585 --> 00:44:18,085
morbidity.

1159
00:44:18,625 --> 00:44:20,144
It's strange to me that we do that.

1160
00:44:20,144 --> 00:44:21,825
And I understand for closure and all that.

1161
00:44:21,825 --> 00:44:24,144
So whatever. I just don't like to do

1162
00:44:24,144 --> 00:44:25,744
it. And I just usually don't. Even when

1163
00:44:25,744 --> 00:44:27,609
I'm doing the funerals, I don't. I go

1164
00:44:27,609 --> 00:44:29,050
stand at the head of the casket because

1165
00:44:29,050 --> 00:44:30,489
I'm supposed to shake hands with our family

1166
00:44:30,489 --> 00:44:31,609
and hug them and stuff as they go

1167
00:44:31,609 --> 00:44:33,449
by. But I don't like looking in the

1168
00:44:33,449 --> 00:44:33,949
casket.

1169
00:44:34,889 --> 00:44:35,710
So I don't.

1170
00:44:36,969 --> 00:44:38,730
But but here's the thing I noticed about

1171
00:44:38,730 --> 00:44:41,289
15 plus about 15 years in the ministry.

1172
00:44:41,289 --> 00:44:41,789
So

1173
00:44:42,244 --> 00:44:43,704
so 20 years ago,

1174
00:44:44,485 --> 00:44:44,804
is,

1175
00:44:46,244 --> 00:44:47,545
it began to change

1176
00:44:48,085 --> 00:44:50,025
and we started doing more and more cremations,

1177
00:44:51,045 --> 00:44:53,204
which which are really they're cheaper. They're easier.

1178
00:44:53,204 --> 00:44:55,945
They're better. You can have multiple memorial services.

1179
00:44:56,300 --> 00:44:58,539
It's a very Cremations make a lot more

1180
00:44:58,539 --> 00:44:59,679
sense, in my opinion.

1181
00:45:00,059 --> 00:45:01,039
But either way,

1182
00:45:01,900 --> 00:45:03,260
but then I was getting a lot of

1183
00:45:03,260 --> 00:45:05,099
questions at that same time as we begin

1184
00:45:05,099 --> 00:45:07,340
to shift as a culture. I began a

1185
00:45:07,340 --> 00:45:08,159
lot of questions.

1186
00:45:08,699 --> 00:45:09,760
The question was,

1187
00:45:12,195 --> 00:45:14,515
if we is is it is it a

1188
00:45:14,515 --> 00:45:16,535
sin to cremate the body?

1189
00:45:16,994 --> 00:45:19,175
Is it wrong? Is it morally wrong

1190
00:45:19,954 --> 00:45:21,795
to cremate the body? And they get this

1191
00:45:21,795 --> 00:45:23,394
from, I think, 2 places. 1 is a

1192
00:45:23,394 --> 00:45:26,079
misunderstanding of couple scriptures that talk about some

1193
00:45:26,079 --> 00:45:27,019
of this. But

1194
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,720
but I think that this is my opinion.

1195
00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:31,480
I don't this is just from seeing it

1196
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,340
over the years. I think what's happened

1197
00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:35,260
is people got confused

1198
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:36,860
because

1199
00:45:37,954 --> 00:45:40,375
the Native Americans burned their dead.

1200
00:45:40,994 --> 00:45:41,494
Right?

1201
00:45:42,275 --> 00:45:45,094
And then there was also, oftentimes, some animistic

1202
00:45:45,155 --> 00:45:45,894
or spiritualistic

1203
00:45:46,914 --> 00:45:48,775
ritual that went along with that.

1204
00:45:49,315 --> 00:45:51,315
But those are 2 different things. Burning the

1205
00:45:51,315 --> 00:45:52,454
dead is innocuous.

1206
00:45:53,090 --> 00:45:55,510
The ritualistic stuff is animism or something.

1207
00:45:55,969 --> 00:45:58,210
Okay? So I think that the church was

1208
00:45:58,210 --> 00:46:00,849
confused and saying, coming from 150 years or

1209
00:46:00,849 --> 00:46:02,949
200 years before, should we be doing this?

1210
00:46:04,289 --> 00:46:04,789
Because

1211
00:46:05,904 --> 00:46:08,527
way they would say it is, you know,

1212
00:46:08,527 --> 00:46:10,704
if it's burned, what does God do with

1213
00:46:10,704 --> 00:46:11,204
that?

1214
00:46:18,219 --> 00:46:19,119
I think that's

1215
00:46:19,900 --> 00:46:21,599
a kind of a short sighted question.

1216
00:46:22,460 --> 00:46:22,960
Alright?

1217
00:46:24,860 --> 00:46:26,539
Because then there's a part of me that's

1218
00:46:26,539 --> 00:46:27,039
like,

1219
00:46:27,660 --> 00:46:29,340
well what if like they they had an

1220
00:46:29,340 --> 00:46:30,640
appendage cut off

1221
00:46:31,325 --> 00:46:32,925
and they didn't keep it along with them?

1222
00:46:32,925 --> 00:46:34,285
In other words, they didn't carry it around

1223
00:46:34,285 --> 00:46:35,265
the rest of their

1224
00:46:35,565 --> 00:46:37,505
life. Does God know where it is?

1225
00:46:39,965 --> 00:46:41,664
I mean, that's the same kind of question.

1226
00:46:42,605 --> 00:46:44,204
The sea gave up its dead. Do you

1227
00:46:44,204 --> 00:46:45,644
think that body goes to the bottom of

1228
00:46:45,644 --> 00:46:47,105
the ocean and just sits there?

1229
00:46:48,579 --> 00:46:50,579
And all the fish are like, hands off

1230
00:46:50,579 --> 00:46:52,199
or fins off or whatever.

1231
00:46:54,019 --> 00:46:55,400
Do you do you think

1232
00:46:56,099 --> 00:46:58,340
Guys, it's weird how we approach it's weird

1233
00:46:58,340 --> 00:47:00,644
how we approach things like death, and the

1234
00:47:00,644 --> 00:47:02,724
finality of it and the and the the

1235
00:47:02,724 --> 00:47:04,244
giving of a new body and all this

1236
00:47:04,244 --> 00:47:05,925
other kind of stuff. It's weird how we

1237
00:47:05,925 --> 00:47:06,664
do this.

1238
00:47:07,684 --> 00:47:08,184
Right?

1239
00:47:09,125 --> 00:47:11,445
What is what is God actually saying about

1240
00:47:11,445 --> 00:47:12,329
all this stuff?

1241
00:47:13,050 --> 00:47:15,550
The Christians the people that are serving Jesus

1242
00:47:15,769 --> 00:47:16,969
and covered with the blood are going to

1243
00:47:16,969 --> 00:47:18,570
be given new bodies. Did you know nowhere

1244
00:47:18,570 --> 00:47:20,030
in scripture does it say

1245
00:47:20,329 --> 00:47:22,510
that the the sinners that

1246
00:47:22,809 --> 00:47:23,309
die

1247
00:47:23,610 --> 00:47:25,230
are given a new body?

1248
00:47:27,325 --> 00:47:28,785
Doesn't actually say that anywhere.

1249
00:47:30,845 --> 00:47:32,224
You should process that.

1250
00:47:32,765 --> 00:47:35,005
And here's part of the deal. The worm

1251
00:47:35,005 --> 00:47:36,845
that they're in fire and torment and the

1252
00:47:36,845 --> 00:47:39,085
worm, it says that the worm eats at

1253
00:47:39,085 --> 00:47:40,545
them and it never dies.

1254
00:47:41,820 --> 00:47:43,519
That's why they're not given new bodies.

1255
00:47:44,380 --> 00:47:45,599
What would be the point?

1256
00:47:46,460 --> 00:47:48,539
Sin and disease will will get But and

1257
00:47:48,539 --> 00:47:50,219
where did that sin and disease come from?

1258
00:47:50,219 --> 00:47:52,160
From the Garden of Eden when they sinned

1259
00:47:52,300 --> 00:47:54,880
and God and they asked for

1260
00:47:55,184 --> 00:47:56,864
all the other stuff, all of the evil.

1261
00:47:56,864 --> 00:47:58,224
They already had all the good. Now they're

1262
00:47:58,224 --> 00:47:59,824
asking for all the evil. That sin and

1263
00:47:59,824 --> 00:48:01,985
sickness and disease and all this other stuff

1264
00:48:01,985 --> 00:48:04,324
is added to humanity on that day.

1265
00:48:05,184 --> 00:48:07,344
And it's going to stay with them forever

1266
00:48:07,344 --> 00:48:09,045
because they're still part of that system.

1267
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,440
Getting saved and being covered with the blood

1268
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,619
of Jesus pulls you out of that system.

1269
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,079
Jesus redeems you out of that system and

1270
00:48:16,079 --> 00:48:18,260
brings you into the relationship with God.

1271
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,519
That's what salvation is. You're not a relationship

1272
00:48:21,519 --> 00:48:22,960
with God. You're not part of that old

1273
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,480
system. So God's gonna give you a new

1274
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,695
body. Why? Because you're gonna spend eternity with

1275
00:48:26,695 --> 00:48:29,414
him and he doesn't want that stinky old

1276
00:48:29,414 --> 00:48:31,734
human body with him. That's just my thinking.

1277
00:48:31,734 --> 00:48:32,795
I don't know. But

1278
00:48:34,054 --> 00:48:35,574
the sea gave up its dead and death

1279
00:48:35,574 --> 00:48:37,094
and the grave gave up their dead and

1280
00:48:37,094 --> 00:48:39,255
all were judged according to their deeds. That's

1281
00:48:39,255 --> 00:48:39,914
the books.

1282
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:42,099
The death and the grave were thrown into

1283
00:48:42,099 --> 00:48:43,079
the lake of fire.

1284
00:48:44,099 --> 00:48:45,619
This lake of fire is the second death.

1285
00:48:45,619 --> 00:48:47,619
And anyone whose name was not found recorded

1286
00:48:47,619 --> 00:48:49,140
in the book of life was thrown into

1287
00:48:49,140 --> 00:48:50,679
the lake of fire with them.

1288
00:48:51,619 --> 00:48:53,780
Satan and and his demons are thrown into

1289
00:48:53,780 --> 00:48:55,724
the lake of fire. And if you want

1290
00:48:55,724 --> 00:48:58,364
to go that direction with his team, that's

1291
00:48:58,364 --> 00:48:59,585
where you'll end up.

1292
00:49:00,125 --> 00:49:01,964
But if you want to go with Jesus

1293
00:49:01,964 --> 00:49:04,304
and his team, that's where you end up.

1294
00:49:04,444 --> 00:49:06,605
But to do that, you have to surrender

1295
00:49:06,605 --> 00:49:08,949
your life, submit your life, and and be

1296
00:49:08,949 --> 00:49:10,250
covered with the blood of Jesus.

1297
00:49:11,430 --> 00:49:12,869
The second thing, all of a sudden the

1298
00:49:12,869 --> 00:49:14,570
rich man is concerned with Lazarus.

1299
00:49:15,750 --> 00:49:17,210
The rich man is now concerned

1300
00:49:17,750 --> 00:49:19,143
with his brothers. Maybe I should have done

1301
00:49:19,143 --> 00:49:21,045
better. Maybe I should have done more. Maybe

1302
00:49:21,045 --> 00:49:22,565
I should have done better. Maybe I should

1303
00:49:22,565 --> 00:49:23,464
have done more.

1304
00:49:24,885 --> 00:49:26,425
You know, I've I've sat with

1305
00:49:26,804 --> 00:49:28,405
so many people over the years, literally in

1306
00:49:28,405 --> 00:49:29,764
the last seconds of their life as they

1307
00:49:29,764 --> 00:49:32,164
take their life last breath. I've been with

1308
00:49:32,164 --> 00:49:34,184
many, many, many, many people

1309
00:49:34,530 --> 00:49:36,550
over the years. And I've never heard anybody

1310
00:49:36,610 --> 00:49:38,530
say something like, I wish I would have

1311
00:49:38,530 --> 00:49:40,230
spent more time at work.

1312
00:49:42,690 --> 00:49:44,949
I wish I'd had one more car.

1313
00:49:47,969 --> 00:49:50,275
Never say that stuff. I

1314
00:49:52,255 --> 00:49:52,836
wish I would have spent more time specifically

1315
00:49:52,836 --> 00:49:53,635
with my wife, my husband.

1316
00:50:02,630 --> 00:50:04,641
Always, I wish I would have prayed more.

1317
00:50:04,641 --> 00:50:05,327
I wish I would have talked to my

1318
00:50:05,327 --> 00:50:07,110
kids more about the Lord. I wish There's

1319
00:50:07,110 --> 00:50:08,550
all this spiritual stuff that's involved. The third

1320
00:50:08,550 --> 00:50:09,690
thing here, guys,

1321
00:50:15,434 --> 00:50:16,574
you only have one

1322
00:50:17,114 --> 00:50:18,735
life. You only have one life.

1323
00:50:19,035 --> 00:50:20,255
How are you using it?

1324
00:50:21,275 --> 00:50:22,574
What are you doing with this?

1325
00:50:23,755 --> 00:50:25,515
There needs to be some urgency in the

1326
00:50:25,515 --> 00:50:26,335
church nowadays.

1327
00:50:27,289 --> 00:50:29,369
There needs to be an expedience with the

1328
00:50:29,369 --> 00:50:29,869
gospel,

1329
00:50:30,409 --> 00:50:32,570
some focus when it comes to, we need

1330
00:50:32,570 --> 00:50:33,710
Jesus now.

1331
00:50:34,889 --> 00:50:36,750
My kids need Jesus now.

1332
00:50:38,650 --> 00:50:40,329
There needs to be some urgency. What are

1333
00:50:40,329 --> 00:50:42,010
you doing with the life that you've been

1334
00:50:42,010 --> 00:50:42,510
given?

1335
00:50:43,434 --> 00:50:45,375
How are you spending that currency?

1336
00:50:47,355 --> 00:50:48,974
That time, energy, resources.

1337
00:50:51,275 --> 00:50:52,494
Then the 4th thing,

1338
00:50:52,875 --> 00:50:54,335
we truly are the answer

1339
00:50:54,795 --> 00:50:55,534
for people.

1340
00:50:56,099 --> 00:50:57,140
And I want to I want to put

1341
00:50:57,140 --> 00:50:59,320
2 sides to this. In James chapter 5,

1342
00:51:00,180 --> 00:51:01,860
the first side is we're the answer for

1343
00:51:01,860 --> 00:51:02,519
the prodigals.

1344
00:51:03,460 --> 00:51:03,960
Okay?

1345
00:51:04,820 --> 00:51:07,380
I I'm I don't believe in, what's called

1346
00:51:07,380 --> 00:51:10,019
unconditional eternal security. I don't believe in that.

1347
00:51:10,019 --> 00:51:11,534
It's another way to say it is once

1348
00:51:11,534 --> 00:51:13,155
saved always saved. I don't think that's,

1349
00:51:13,614 --> 00:51:15,474
a legitimate theological stance.

1350
00:51:15,775 --> 00:51:17,454
In fact, I think it's actually one of

1351
00:51:17,454 --> 00:51:18,434
the most dangerous

1352
00:51:19,295 --> 00:51:19,795
manipulative,

1353
00:51:22,175 --> 00:51:24,760
theologies that man has come up with. Is

1354
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,920
to me very, very clear. I could give

1355
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:28,920
you 30 other scripts, but this is very

1356
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,360
clear. And I think this one is literally

1357
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,860
for prodigals. Well, it's obviously for prodigals.

1358
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:34,700
Verse 19, my dear brothers and sisters,

1359
00:51:38,675 --> 00:51:40,266
away from the truth, that means you are

1360
00:51:40,266 --> 00:51:40,594
a Christian and then you are not. Because

1361
00:51:40,594 --> 00:51:42,135
you chose something else

1362
00:51:53,550 --> 00:51:56,349
besides relationship with Jesus. But see, if we

1363
00:51:56,349 --> 00:51:57,070
if we,

1364
00:51:57,710 --> 00:52:00,670
couch salvation as a prayer that we prayed

1365
00:52:00,670 --> 00:52:01,410
one time,

1366
00:52:02,190 --> 00:52:05,309
not relationship, not being engaged to Jesus, to

1367
00:52:05,309 --> 00:52:06,849
be married to him someday,

1368
00:52:07,390 --> 00:52:08,989
but it's just a prayer I prayed one

1369
00:52:08,989 --> 00:52:11,364
time and shook the pastor's hand, then yeah,

1370
00:52:11,364 --> 00:52:12,885
you can come up with some kind of

1371
00:52:12,885 --> 00:52:14,804
theology that says that. But when it comes

1372
00:52:14,804 --> 00:52:15,545
to relationship,

1373
00:52:16,005 --> 00:52:18,405
Jesus wants you in relationship at all times.

1374
00:52:18,405 --> 00:52:20,085
He wants you waiting for the return of

1375
00:52:20,085 --> 00:52:22,804
the bride. That's the that's the, the the

1376
00:52:22,804 --> 00:52:24,664
parable of the 10 virgins.

1377
00:52:25,610 --> 00:52:27,849
He wants you to be waiting for him

1378
00:52:27,849 --> 00:52:29,070
and ready for him.

1379
00:52:29,610 --> 00:52:30,429
And he says,

1380
00:52:30,809 --> 00:52:33,630
if you wander away from the truth and

1381
00:52:33,769 --> 00:52:35,550
and someone is brought back,

1382
00:52:36,410 --> 00:52:38,170
you can be sure that whoever brings the

1383
00:52:38,170 --> 00:52:39,469
sinner back from wandering

1384
00:52:39,795 --> 00:52:42,135
will save that person from death.

1385
00:52:44,914 --> 00:52:46,214
This is very clear.

1386
00:52:46,594 --> 00:52:48,194
But it's weird how we can just pass

1387
00:52:48,194 --> 00:52:49,094
by this stuff.

1388
00:52:49,795 --> 00:52:51,795
You'll save that person from death and bring

1389
00:52:51,795 --> 00:52:52,694
about the forgiveness

1390
00:52:53,234 --> 00:52:55,174
of many sins. So that's the prodigal.

1391
00:52:55,590 --> 00:52:57,430
As I think part of our responsibility as

1392
00:52:57,430 --> 00:52:59,590
the as Christians is to tell people that

1393
00:52:59,590 --> 00:53:02,150
used to serve Jesus, hey, you you better

1394
00:53:02,150 --> 00:53:03,690
get your mind, your spirit right.

1395
00:53:04,789 --> 00:53:07,510
We we we've got to be urgent about

1396
00:53:07,510 --> 00:53:09,994
this. And then John 316 again, this is

1397
00:53:09,994 --> 00:53:11,734
for the for the unsaved

1398
00:53:12,275 --> 00:53:14,034
that's never been saved. This is how God

1399
00:53:14,034 --> 00:53:15,394
loved the world. He gave his one and

1400
00:53:15,394 --> 00:53:18,275
only son. Everyone who believes in him will

1401
00:53:18,275 --> 00:53:19,014
not perish,

1402
00:53:19,635 --> 00:53:20,855
will not go to hell,

1403
00:53:21,155 --> 00:53:22,295
will not be destroyed,

1404
00:53:22,594 --> 00:53:24,275
but will have eternal life. I want you

1405
00:53:24,275 --> 00:53:25,139
to stand with me.

1406
00:53:32,579 --> 00:53:34,119
So my prayer for us

1407
00:53:35,779 --> 00:53:38,440
is that that somewhere in our spirit, somewhere,

1408
00:53:39,764 --> 00:53:41,224
we let the Holy Spirit

1409
00:53:41,525 --> 00:53:43,065
give us a sense of urgency.

1410
00:53:44,164 --> 00:53:44,824
Give us

1411
00:53:46,005 --> 00:53:46,505
a

1412
00:53:47,684 --> 00:53:50,025
care, a deep care for

1413
00:53:50,324 --> 00:53:52,505
our friends and co workers and whoever

1414
00:53:53,190 --> 00:53:54,170
that need Jesus.

1415
00:53:55,349 --> 00:53:56,630
Because you don't know how you don't know

1416
00:53:56,630 --> 00:53:57,989
how many days they have left. You know

1417
00:53:57,989 --> 00:53:59,449
how many days you have left.

1418
00:54:00,710 --> 00:54:01,210
Okay?

1419
00:54:02,309 --> 00:54:03,769
Here's what I do know.

1420
00:54:04,630 --> 00:54:07,130
If you've got today, you've got the answer.

1421
00:54:08,125 --> 00:54:09,905
You've got the answer for people.

1422
00:54:11,965 --> 00:54:13,025
Do what you can.

1423
00:54:13,805 --> 00:54:16,385
Let's pray. Lord, we submit ourself to you.

1424
00:54:17,805 --> 00:54:19,644
That you really are the king. We're not

1425
00:54:19,644 --> 00:54:20,864
the king. You are.

1426
00:54:23,079 --> 00:54:24,300
Lord, you are our savior,

1427
00:54:25,079 --> 00:54:25,739
our redeemer.

1428
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,079
Jesus, you died for every one of us

1429
00:54:29,079 --> 00:54:31,559
in this room. But lord, you died for

1430
00:54:31,559 --> 00:54:32,059
everyone

1431
00:54:32,599 --> 00:54:34,519
that everyone in this room will come in

1432
00:54:34,519 --> 00:54:35,900
contact with this week.

1433
00:54:36,575 --> 00:54:37,954
You died for them too.

1434
00:54:39,535 --> 00:54:41,474
You died for our friends, our family.

1435
00:54:42,095 --> 00:54:43,635
Lord, you died for our enemies.

1436
00:54:47,055 --> 00:54:49,055
Jesus, you died and shed your blood so

1437
00:54:49,055 --> 00:54:50,275
that we could all,

1438
00:54:50,909 --> 00:54:52,289
every one of us know you.

1439
00:54:57,230 --> 00:54:58,929
So Jesus, stir in our hearts.

1440
00:55:01,069 --> 00:55:02,769
Stir in our hearts right now.

1441
00:55:05,394 --> 00:55:07,414
Lord, I wanna say like Isaiah said,

1442
00:55:08,594 --> 00:55:10,214
here am I, send me.

1443
00:55:13,074 --> 00:55:15,394
Lord, I believe that you have sent every

1444
00:55:15,394 --> 00:55:16,679
one of us in this room.

1445
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:18,619
You've already called us

1446
00:55:19,559 --> 00:55:21,719
to preach the gospel, to make disciples of

1447
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,339
the nations. You've already called us.

1448
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,739
So lord, help us to respond to it.

1449
00:55:35,164 --> 00:55:36,764
Keep your head bowed with me. I wanna

1450
00:55:36,764 --> 00:55:37,744
I wanna pray

1451
00:55:38,204 --> 00:55:39,885
for you, but I want you to think

1452
00:55:39,885 --> 00:55:40,864
about this. So

1453
00:55:41,804 --> 00:55:43,085
so keep your head bowed here for a

1454
00:55:43,085 --> 00:55:44,304
minute and focus in

1455
00:55:44,764 --> 00:55:46,960
on this right here. I wanna do this

1456
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,099
kind of as a commissioning

1457
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,019
moment, a commissioning time.

1458
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,960
Same way we would do with missionaries when

1459
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,019
we you lay hands on missionaries before they

1460
00:55:56,559 --> 00:55:58,239
go out, but the same way you do

1461
00:55:58,239 --> 00:55:59,219
with with pastors

1462
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,014
when they're responding to the call kind of

1463
00:56:02,594 --> 00:56:03,094
thing.

1464
00:56:03,674 --> 00:56:04,414
To say,

1465
00:56:05,674 --> 00:56:06,315
I I need

1466
00:56:07,114 --> 00:56:07,934
I I want

1467
00:56:08,554 --> 00:56:09,855
to be sent.

1468
00:56:11,034 --> 00:56:12,635
My heart is, Lord, send me. So I

1469
00:56:12,635 --> 00:56:13,694
wanna be sent.

1470
00:56:14,289 --> 00:56:15,489
And that we can do this as a

1471
00:56:15,489 --> 00:56:16,230
whole body.

1472
00:56:18,130 --> 00:56:19,730
But, right right where you are, I'm not

1473
00:56:19,730 --> 00:56:20,929
gonna ask you to come down front or

1474
00:56:20,929 --> 00:56:22,609
anything like that, but right where you are,

1475
00:56:22,609 --> 00:56:24,210
if you say, I I truly want this,

1476
00:56:24,210 --> 00:56:25,409
and I want you to really think about

1477
00:56:25,409 --> 00:56:27,029
what you're saying if you say this,

1478
00:56:27,489 --> 00:56:29,204
Lord, I want you to send me.

1479
00:56:30,565 --> 00:56:31,844
I want my mind to know that. I

1480
00:56:31,844 --> 00:56:32,885
want my spirit to know. I want to

1481
00:56:32,885 --> 00:56:34,285
hear your voice. I want to, I want

1482
00:56:34,285 --> 00:56:35,765
to look for those moments. I want to

1483
00:56:35,765 --> 00:56:38,244
be responding to this call. If you can

1484
00:56:38,244 --> 00:56:38,744
say

1485
00:56:39,364 --> 00:56:40,344
completely honestly,

1486
00:56:41,380 --> 00:56:42,820
Lord, hear my, send me. I'd like you

1487
00:56:42,820 --> 00:56:44,019
to raise your hand. Just keep it up

1488
00:56:44,019 --> 00:56:44,760
for a minute.

1489
00:56:45,139 --> 00:56:46,920
Lord, send me. Send me.

1490
00:56:48,179 --> 00:56:50,579
Send me. Send me to who? You know,

1491
00:56:50,579 --> 00:56:52,679
I don't know, but you know who.

1492
00:56:53,699 --> 00:56:55,219
Some of them you may not, but most

1493
00:56:55,219 --> 00:56:56,119
of them you know.

1494
00:56:57,664 --> 00:56:59,925
Lord, send me. God, you see our hearts.

1495
00:57:01,184 --> 00:57:01,684
Lord,

1496
00:57:02,864 --> 00:57:04,724
I I I pray with everything in me,

1497
00:57:05,505 --> 00:57:06,324
send me.

1498
00:57:07,425 --> 00:57:08,405
Use me.

1499
00:57:09,344 --> 00:57:10,885
Give me wisdom, discernment.

1500
00:57:12,069 --> 00:57:13,989
Open my eyes that I see the moments

1501
00:57:13,989 --> 00:57:16,170
that I don't just pass them by.

1502
00:57:17,670 --> 00:57:19,349
I see the moments when I can talk

1503
00:57:19,349 --> 00:57:20,010
to somebody.

1504
00:57:20,469 --> 00:57:22,630
Lord, let it let it jump out at

1505
00:57:22,630 --> 00:57:23,130
us.

1506
00:57:23,670 --> 00:57:25,644
And all of a sudden, everything kinda slows

1507
00:57:25,644 --> 00:57:26,864
down and we can see

1508
00:57:27,164 --> 00:57:29,405
this is a moment that you've called me

1509
00:57:29,405 --> 00:57:29,905
to.

1510
00:57:31,405 --> 00:57:33,005
I can talk to somebody. I can pray

1511
00:57:33,005 --> 00:57:33,664
with them.

1512
00:57:36,364 --> 00:57:37,885
Lord, I get to tell them how much

1513
00:57:37,885 --> 00:57:39,000
you love them

1514
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,019
and how much you've done for them specifically.

1515
00:57:45,719 --> 00:57:47,099
Lord give us those moments.

1516
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,000
So Lord I pray over everybody here just

1517
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,219
like Paul said to Timothy,

1518
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:53,340
preach

1519
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:54,434
the gospel.

1520
00:57:56,035 --> 00:57:56,535
Preach

1521
00:57:57,074 --> 00:57:57,735
the gospel.

1522
00:58:00,035 --> 00:58:01,015
Use us, Lord.

1523
00:58:02,114 --> 00:58:04,215
I will preach your gospel.

1524
00:58:05,635 --> 00:58:07,795
I will preach your word, not my word,

1525
00:58:07,795 --> 00:58:08,535
your word.

1526
00:58:11,449 --> 00:58:12,909
Lord, help them to see

1527
00:58:13,289 --> 00:58:14,909
your love through me.

1528
00:58:16,730 --> 00:58:18,510
I pray that for every one of us.

1529
00:58:21,289 --> 00:58:22,429
Lord, thank you.

1530
00:58:23,445 --> 00:58:25,785
Thank you for being so amazing, so big.

1531
00:58:27,285 --> 00:58:29,125
Thank you for using us. God, that doesn't

1532
00:58:29,125 --> 00:58:30,105
even make sense,

1533
00:58:30,724 --> 00:58:32,184
but you use us.

1534
00:58:36,579 --> 00:58:38,359
Give us these moments this week.

1535
00:58:38,980 --> 00:58:40,760
Empower us with your holy spirit.

1536
00:58:41,539 --> 00:58:43,219
Just like the book of acts where we

1537
00:58:43,219 --> 00:58:45,699
are ready, just like acts 4 where we

1538
00:58:45,699 --> 00:58:47,320
pray, God, give me boldness.

1539
00:58:50,224 --> 00:58:51,045
Give me boldness

1540
00:58:52,545 --> 00:58:54,244
and help me to truly care.

1541
00:58:55,744 --> 00:58:57,765
Break my heart for your people,

1542
00:58:58,625 --> 00:58:59,445
your people.

1543
00:59:01,344 --> 00:59:02,485
Jesus' name.

1544
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:03,980
Name.

1545
00:59:09,159 --> 00:59:09,739
Amen. Amen.

1546
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:11,980
I wanna encourage you with this.

1547
00:59:13,239 --> 00:59:13,880
It is,

1548
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:16,920
if you if if you're kind of stepping

1549
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,099
into this maybe for the first time ever,

1550
00:59:19,295 --> 00:59:21,535
you can invite somebody to church. That's good,

1551
00:59:21,535 --> 00:59:22,434
but that's not

1552
00:59:22,894 --> 00:59:24,835
really what I'm asking you to do.

1553
00:59:26,255 --> 00:59:27,855
It's to try to step out there, and

1554
00:59:27,855 --> 00:59:29,295
it's gonna be a little scary, but try

1555
00:59:29,295 --> 00:59:31,135
to step out there and just talk to

1556
00:59:31,135 --> 00:59:31,635
somebody.

1557
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:33,839
Invite them to church if that's all you

1558
00:59:33,839 --> 00:59:35,679
can do. That's good because they may not

1559
00:59:35,679 --> 00:59:36,659
like this church.

1560
00:59:37,679 --> 00:59:40,079
Sometimes I appear to be not likable. It's

1561
00:59:40,079 --> 00:59:40,739
not true,

1562
00:59:43,039 --> 00:59:44,559
but they may want to go to a

1563
00:59:44,559 --> 00:59:46,934
different church. Okay. So talk to him about

1564
00:59:46,934 --> 00:59:47,434
Jesus

1565
00:59:48,535 --> 00:59:51,255
and then maybe invite him to church. Right?

1566
00:59:51,255 --> 00:59:52,555
You understand what I'm saying?

1567
00:59:52,855 --> 00:59:54,954
Look for these moments. Look for these moments.

1568
00:59:55,974 --> 00:59:58,489
Okay? Don't forget Wednesday night. To

1569
01:00:03,269 --> 01:00:04,730
this. Tonight, my house,

1570
01:00:05,750 --> 01:00:08,070
the journey, if you've never been, then you

1571
01:00:08,070 --> 01:00:08,969
need to be

1572
01:00:09,269 --> 01:00:09,769
there.

1573
01:00:10,630 --> 01:00:12,070
Just let me know ahead of time so

1574
01:00:12,070 --> 01:00:13,429
we can make sure Linda is I'm not

1575
01:00:13,429 --> 01:00:13,965
going to tell you

1576
01:00:14,605 --> 01:00:16,465
what she's making. It's one of my favorite

1577
01:00:16,525 --> 01:00:18,785
ever favorite dishes she makes, but

1578
01:00:19,085 --> 01:00:21,105
it does involve bacon. Yes. I'm sorry.

1579
01:00:22,684 --> 01:00:23,664
So guys,

1580
01:00:24,605 --> 01:00:26,125
before noon tomorrow, let me change. Let me

1581
01:00:26,125 --> 01:00:27,505
broaden it for this week.

1582
01:00:28,045 --> 01:00:30,500
Sometime this week, God's gonna give you an

1583
01:00:30,500 --> 01:00:32,760
opportunity to let somebody know Jesus loves them.

1584
01:00:32,980 --> 01:00:34,119
Do the best you can.

1585
01:00:34,579 --> 01:00:36,659
Tell somebody you'll change their life. You'll change

1586
01:00:36,659 --> 01:00:38,820
your life, and no telling how many other

1587
01:00:38,820 --> 01:00:41,000
lives. And God honor that

1588
01:00:41,474 --> 01:00:43,315
with you. And so shake somebody's hand, tell

1589
01:00:43,315 --> 01:00:45,175
them how glad you are that they're here,

1590
01:00:45,315 --> 01:00:47,315
and we will see you tonight or Wednesday

1591
01:00:47,315 --> 01:00:49,095
night. Have a great rest of your afternoon.
