That's right. 01:51 I love, the first guest I'm going to introduce 01:53 is Brother John Dinzey. 01:55 He's a General Manager of 3ABN Latino, 01:58 and his wife came down the steps a little bit ago, 02:01 and she says, there's too many people on there, 02:02 they are all talkers, 02:04 no one's going to get a word in it. 02:05 I said, good, that's what we want, 02:08 we want to uplift God's word today. 02:10 And right next to him is another John, 02:12 Pastor John Lomacang. 02:14 He's the pastor here 02:15 at the Thompsonville Adventist Church. 02:17 That's right. 02:19 And he also has a new title... 02:20 I like that. 02:22 He is the... 02:23 I may have to let the Director of World Evangelism. 02:26 And we are so excited about that because I know 02:29 we've been had a little bit of part in it already 02:31 and we are looking forward to more. 02:33 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. 02:35 Good to be here. 02:36 And he's so good at organizing and using all the technology, 02:39 he's the man for the job. 02:40 Oh, you know, I believe that. 02:42 I believe that from the first moment 02:43 that you have evangelism in your heart, in your soul. 02:47 It burns inside, and I know it does 02:48 and you wanted to come out. 02:50 And also you encourage others. 02:52 I like the way you always, in fact both are out, 02:54 you're always encouraging other people to, 02:56 we call, step up to the plate. 02:58 Praise the Lord. Do their part for Jesus. 03:00 And sometimes that issue just right there, 03:03 it helps somebody to make a decision for Christ 03:06 and to stay imbedded in Christ. 03:08 So we're glad to have you with us today, 03:11 and we're glad, and we like this subject, 03:12 I know it's going to be a good one. 03:14 Yes, an Infallible Revelation. 03:16 But before we get started, 03:17 we are going to listen to a wonderful song 03:20 as sung by Stephanie Dawn. 03:22 And she's going to be accompanied 03:24 on the pianist, the piano by Dann Thornton. 03:42 Oh Lord my heart is quieted 03:49 My thoughts are not too proud 03:56 The shadows flee, my eyes can see You now 04:08 I do not occupy myself 04:14 With things too great for me 04:21 Here in Your stillness, is where I long to be 04:31 And I have calmed my troubled heart 04:39 I have quieted my soul 04:45 Like a child at its mother's breast 04:51 I find my strength and take my rest 04:56 In the shelter of Your arms 05:02 There is life to make me whole 05:09 I have calmed my heart and quieted my soul 05:29 But should I not be comforted 05:36 When darkness falls again 05:42 When I am weak, will I still seek You then? 05:55 Lord, help me hear You call my name 06:01 Above the raging sea 06:08 O Israel, come put your trust in me 06:19 I have calmed my troubled heart 06:26 I have quieted my soul 06:32 Like a child at its mother's breast 06:38 I find my strength and take my rest 06:45 In the shelter of Your arms 06:51 There is life to make me whole 06:57 I have calmed my heart and quieted my soul 07:29 In the shelter of Your arms 07:35 There is life to make me whole 07:41 I have calmed my heart and quieted my soul 07:54 I have calmed my heart and quieted my soul 08:22 In your arms, there is life and my soul. 08:25 Yes. Amen. 08:27 Thank you, Stephanie Dawn and Dann. 08:28 How beautiful. Oh, awesome. 08:30 Praise God. We're going to continue on. 08:31 You know, brothers and pastors that are here, 08:35 our world has been experiencing such a moral degradation 08:41 that I think even maybe five, ten years ago 08:44 we just couldn't imagine would take place. 08:48 We couldn't imagine some of the laws 08:50 that have been passed in our country. 08:54 Sure many of us have read the back of the book, 08:56 we realize that there's a time of trouble coming 08:58 but I can remember just a few years ago, thinking, 09:01 I didn't realize we were going to ask for it 09:03 the way that we've been asking for it. 09:06 And yet, even as we see this decline in morality, 09:10 we see an increase in church attendance. 09:14 The biggest, the most sought out churches 09:17 that are called the mega churches, 09:19 and they're not the same, 09:21 people are going there, they look for the place. 09:23 In fact, I just had someone 09:26 I love very recently, very much, 09:31 we were watching something on this network, 09:35 it had to do with us, and my grandbaby was there, 09:38 and he's only two. 09:41 But the mamma says, you know, "Oh, was that boring?" 09:45 And I just felt so sad, because what they're doing, 09:48 because she's kind of lost her way she's gone out, 09:50 and she's going to one of these mega churches. 09:52 And what they're doing is they're going 09:54 in for the entertainment. 09:56 Who has the best music? Who has the best drama? 09:59 Who can preach the best message as it were? 10:02 And yet, while thousands and thousands 10:05 of people are going into these churches, 10:07 thousands are never opening the Word of God. 10:10 So my question for all of us today 10:13 is just how important is God's word? 10:16 Is it indeed an infallible revelation? 10:19 And to start our topic, 10:21 we're going to read Psalms 12:6. 10:24 Psalms 12:6. 10:27 Pastor Kenny, you want to read that one for us? 10:29 Sure. 10:30 Psalms 12:6 says, "The words of the Lord are pure words 10:36 as silver tried in a furnace of earth, 10:39 purified seven times." 10:42 Pure words. Pure words. 10:44 Pure words and yet so often 10:46 we find that people are turning away 10:49 from those pure words. 10:51 They don't want to read those pure words 10:53 because it doesn't always fit their lifestyle. 10:56 What is your, what are your thoughts? 10:58 Well, I think that what the world 10:59 is experiencing today, 11:01 I mean, it's more of a religion based on preference 11:05 rather than on God's word guiding it. 11:08 And the same time if you asked churches, 11:10 whether or not they've gotten rid of the Word of God, 11:12 they would say, "No, we haven't." 11:14 They'd say we, you know, you have the open Bible church, 11:16 you have the so many different denominations 11:20 that use the word in their title. 11:23 But in fact the world are shaping 11:26 a lot of what the churches do today rather than the... 11:30 That's right. 11:31 The word shaping what the churches should do. 11:33 Our character. 11:35 Well, not only, yeah, our character 11:37 but if you think of, 11:38 if you think of the bigger picture, 11:40 the very thing that Satan did in the very beginning, 11:43 in the Garden of Eden was to get Eve 11:44 to question God's word. 11:46 That's right. 11:47 "Has God said", 11:49 was the three words that brought us to the place 11:52 where we are today, "Hath God said." 11:55 And so in John 1:1, 11:58 in the beginning was the word, 11:59 and the word was with God, and the word was God. 12:02 So the word was in the beginning. 12:04 Then you go to Revelation and you find that 12:06 when Jesus comes back, 12:08 He's going to have the name written on his thigh, 12:10 the Word of God. 12:11 So the word was in the beginning, 12:13 the word was, is going to be in the end. 12:15 Yes. And Jesus is the Word of God. 12:17 Amen. 12:18 And then, so if anything the church needs to be 12:24 or the Christian needs to be more mindful 12:27 that the attack comes one we don't know 12:30 what the Word of God says. 12:32 And then Jesus, you think of Him in the wilderness, 12:34 temptations in Matthew 4, whenever Satan tempted Him, 12:40 Jesus could have easily said, "You know what, 12:43 I'm the creator, I don't have time for this. 12:46 You know who I am." 12:47 But over and over and over again He used three words, 12:50 'It is written.' Amen. 12:53 And so today, if the church is to find any strings 12:55 at all, it is to be, 'It is written.' 12:58 Then the other thing you have to be very careful of 13:00 is today we have this new thing called the rhema word, 13:04 the revealed word. 13:05 People say, I am going to wait till God reveals that to me. 13:10 That's another dangerous thing. 13:12 Somebody would say, I know what the Bible says 13:14 but I'm waiting for God to convict me of it. 13:16 You see, so we have all these ways around 13:18 what God says as though 13:20 God is going to convict you of something other 13:24 than what His word already says. 13:25 You know it's so true. 13:28 When I was working in pastoral ministries, 13:29 I remember talking to one individual, 13:31 he called because he saw a program 13:33 where they were sharing the scriptures. 13:36 And he called to say that he didn't agree with it. 13:39 And I proceeded to talk to him about it, I said, 13:42 "Why don't you agree with it?" 13:44 Well, because of this and this, 13:46 and he gave reasons that were from human... 13:48 Yes. 13:49 From human origin and not from the Word of God. 13:51 And so I said, 13:53 "Well, what about these other scriptures?" 13:54 And I showed him some other scriptures. 13:55 And after we talked for a few minutes, 13:57 he said these words, 13:59 "Well, I know what the Bible says, 14:02 but the Holy Spirit has not, 14:06 has shown me something different. 14:08 The Holy Spirit has shown me something different." 14:10 Which is a complete contradiction 14:13 because it is the Holy Spirit that inspired the scriptures. 14:17 As the Holy Spirit inspired the scriptures, 14:18 the Holy Spirit is not going to contradict the scriptures. 14:20 Yes. 14:22 So we have, like Pastor John said, 14:24 people are finding ways to go around the scriptures. 14:28 And I hope that this program will help 14:31 because there are two spirits in this world. 14:33 That's right. 14:34 And they're working in the churches, 14:35 they're working amongst Christians 14:38 in order to deceive and to misguide. 14:41 The Bible says that we're to worship God in spirit 14:44 and in truth. 14:46 In spirit and in truth. 14:48 Therefore, all of you at home, 14:50 if the spirit that you're hearing 14:52 does not line up with the truth, 14:54 then we need to question the spirit. 14:55 Or to try the spirits the Word of God says 14:58 to see whether it be of God or... 15:01 And the Bible is so clear, it's constantly over and over, 15:04 which is good, admonition is get back into the word, 15:08 study the word, this is where you find Christ. 15:11 So automatically, you know, 15:12 I know in our minds if the Holy Spirit is saying, 15:16 "Stay in the word", 15:17 the enemy is going to say, 15:18 "I'm going to keep them out of the word." 15:21 That's always keep them out of the word 15:23 because in John 5:39 it says the scriptures, 15:27 "They are they which testify of Me." 15:30 Scriptures testify of Jesus Christ. 15:33 It brings to light and life. 15:35 Jesus Christ, the author or the finisher of our faith. 15:38 So the devil says, I don't want people to know about Jesus. 15:41 Just the name of Jesus can change your heart, 15:42 can change your live. 15:44 So I'm going to keep the people busy, 15:46 I'm going to keep them little bit confused, 15:48 I'm going to keep them in a position 15:50 to where when they read something that's so simple, 15:52 this is what gets me sometime. 15:53 I look at the word and people, it just, 15:55 there's no debate what it says. 15:58 But they'll find a way, you mention, going around it, 16:00 jumping over it, or you get these, 16:04 there I say scholars at times... 16:06 So-called Bible scholars that weave such a web 16:10 of deceit and mystery that it's almost impossible 16:15 to come up with the right explanation of what is truth. 16:17 Yes. 16:19 I like to say, there was a wonderful way to begin 16:22 this program with Psalms 12, Psalms 12, 16:27 and I would like to read the next verse 16:28 because it talks about today. 16:31 Verse 7. 16:32 Verse 7, oh, yeah. 16:34 Notice again, the verse 6, 16:35 "The words of the Lord are pure words 16:39 as silver tried in a furnace of earth, 16:41 purified seven times." 16:43 Pure. 16:44 Notice, verse 7, "Thou shalt keep them, 16:47 O Lord, thou shalt preserve them 16:49 from this generation for ever." 16:52 So we can have full confidence that the words of the Lord, 16:55 which are pure words, He has preserved them, 16:58 and we have them, Praise God. 17:00 So what do we need to do with it? 17:02 We need to study them, 17:03 and not only study them but apply them to our lives. 17:06 Amen. 17:07 And the other thing about it is how we receive them. 17:09 You know, what was different about the Thessalonikins 17:12 was not that they just heard the word 17:15 but it's how they received it. 17:17 That's right. 17:18 Because it's not that there's a problem with God's word, 17:23 like, you were just using the example, somebody said, 17:24 well, the Holy Spirit showed me something else. 17:27 Well, if all scripture is given by inspiration of God, 17:30 if the Holy Spirit is the one who breathed on men, 17:33 1 Peter 1:21, breathed on men, and these holy men of God spake 17:38 as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 17:41 He's not going to let it contradict himself 17:44 but it's how we receive the word. 17:45 Listen, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Paul speaking 17:50 about how the word was received. 17:51 He says, 17:53 "For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, 17:57 because when you received the Word of God 18:01 which you heard from us, you welcomed it." 18:04 That's the first thing. 18:06 Some people don't welcome the word. 18:07 They wait to see what you're going to say to fight it, 18:11 they don't welcome it. 18:12 "You welcomed it not as the word of men, 18:16 but as it is in truth the Word of God." 18:20 Now watch this, when you welcome it as the Word of God, 18:22 look at the rest of the text, 18:23 "Which also effectively works in you, who believe." 18:28 The reason why the word cannot do anything in people's lives, 18:30 they don't receive it as God's word. 18:32 No. They say, that's what you say. 18:34 And I said to Johnny, 18:36 I am kind of bit piggybacking almost to say. 18:40 It's all right now. That's okay. 18:43 People think it's our word. 18:45 They say, "Well, that's what your church teaches." 18:46 They say, that's in the word, well, that's what you say. 18:49 A guy called me a few days ago, and bless his heart, 18:53 he had all good intentions. 18:54 But he called with the intent to argue. 18:56 And I had, what I had done is a topic on the Sabbath 18:59 and I said, well, as years ago, we used to say, 19:02 well, there's a $10,000 reward for anybody 19:04 who could prove that Bible does support Sunday. 19:07 Well, he called me, said, well, I don't want to claim 19:09 the $10,000 that you promised. 19:12 However, I do have scriptures to prove that Sunday is not, 19:16 that Sunday is supported by scripture. 19:19 And he came up with this most ridiculous passage in Hebrews 19:23 where it says Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek. 19:28 And I said, "Well, let me explain that." 19:30 He said, "Well, no, we're now under Melchizedek law, 19:33 we're no longer under the commandments, 19:35 we're under Melchizedek law." 19:36 I said, "And so what is Melchizedek law? 19:38 Show me Melchizedek's law." 19:40 "Well, see, there you go, you want to argue with me." 19:42 I said, "No. 19:44 You said we're under Melchizedek law. 19:45 What is Melchizedek law?" 19:47 I said, "Brother, what that is saying is Jesus 19:49 is not a priest after the ironic priesthood, 19:52 which was appointed by men, 19:54 but he's a priest for ever after the order or Melchizedek 19:57 which is the only time Melchizedek's priest 19:59 had came to his end is when he died. 20:01 So since Jesus ever lives, 20:03 He's never not going to be our high priest." 20:04 Amen. 20:06 That's it, he says, "See," he says, 20:07 "That's what I don't like about you pastors, 20:08 You're always arguing with people." 20:10 I said, "Brother, I'm just explaining..." 20:11 He said, "You know, no, no, 20:13 what you want to do is you want to back me in a corner..." 20:15 And I just hung up the phone. Yeah. 20:17 I didn't have time for that. It's sad. 20:19 You know going back to what you guys have kind of bounced off 20:23 of each other as well, 20:24 there was a time in earth's history, 20:26 in the dark ages where the enemy 20:28 was able to actually take the Bible from the people. 20:32 Now he no longer can take the Bible, we have them, 20:35 many times we may have five or six in our home 20:37 and never pick them up, 20:39 never dust them off but they are there. 20:42 Now what we find is that he's able to cast 20:45 doubt upon God's word. 20:47 And I remember years ago... 20:49 That's a very good point. 20:50 Studying, studying with a family, 20:53 and this family was a Catholic family, 20:55 and they were beginning to accept the Word of God, 20:58 to accept the Sabbath, 21:00 but they wanted to go to a priest. 21:02 And there weren't a priest in southern Illinois, 21:05 that he couldn't find a priest 21:06 that would speak to him about it, 21:08 so he went up to close to St. Louis. 21:10 And the priest had told him in the meeting, 21:12 he says, "You know, the Bible is a good book. 21:15 Read it if you what to." Wow. 21:17 "But do you honestly believe that God parted the Red Sea 21:21 and people walked across it? 21:23 Do you honestly think that God would tell Abraham 21:26 to sacrifice his own son?" 21:27 Mercy. 21:29 "It's a good book. 21:31 Read it if you want it." 21:32 So, you see, the enemy casts doubt. 21:35 Therefore, this become stories and it becomes something 21:39 that we can argue about 21:41 or 'I don't accept your interpretation.' 21:44 We have to go back and allow the Bible 21:46 to begin to interpret itself. 21:48 That's right. 21:50 And the other thing that you talked upon 21:52 was something that I see happening in our world 21:55 and we alluded to it in the very beginning 21:56 of our program here today. 21:58 And I want to read this, 22:00 this little paragraph or a sentence here. 22:02 It says, "Many, very many are questioning 22:06 the verity and truth of the Scriptures." 22:08 Yes. 22:10 Now listen, "Human reasoning and the imaginings 22:13 of the human heart are undermining 22:16 the inspiration of the Word of God, 22:19 and that which should be received as granted, 22:23 is surrounded with a cloud of mysticism." 22:28 You see if you go back and I really don't recommend this, 22:31 if you go back and you look at some of the new translations, 22:34 the new Bibles that they have out 22:37 that are going along with the new lifestyles, 22:42 it becomes very confusing. 22:45 Because they philosophically begin to say, 22:47 well, it says this 22:49 but it really doesn't explain this part of it, 22:53 and it becomes confusing to the human mind. 22:55 We need to take the Bible as granted, 22:58 as it is, allow it to interpret itself. 23:01 And when we disagree with the Bible, 23:05 we need to examine our heart. 23:06 You know, I'm wondering 23:07 while we were thinking about this here, 23:09 now the Holy Spirit is working on my heart and mind 23:10 so I'm thinking here, 23:12 unless I missed this because maybe I forgotten 23:15 the first elementary thing in studying the word of God. 23:18 We had prayer before the program. 23:22 I don't think we did now, if I, did I miss it? 23:24 Oh, maybe... 23:26 No. 23:27 I am just, I want to go back right now. 23:28 Sure. 23:30 The elementary thing, and this is for people who don't, 23:32 we had prayer just before we came on the air, 23:34 we know that. 23:35 And so we, we've committed ourselves to Christ, 23:37 but for those who are looking at the Word of God right now 23:40 and they are trying to say, "Is this for real? 23:42 Is this the real thing?" 23:43 And they're pretty fleshly, and the Bible is spiritual, 23:47 and we cannot understand it in the flesh, 23:49 we need the spirit of the living God. 23:51 And so the first thing we do, we can't understand is what? 23:54 You pray. 23:55 Shall we not set an example for them 23:57 and even do it even in the middle of a program 23:59 to say, you know what, 24:00 we want to set the right example. 24:01 That's right. 24:03 And let me put that in context, 24:04 and I think that what we're doing is not that 24:06 we hadn't prayed prior to that. 24:07 Right. 24:08 But when a person opens the Bible to study, 24:10 since it is God's inspired book, 24:13 you pray for God to open. 24:16 You know, David said that, "Open thou mine eyes, 24:18 that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." 24:21 Yeah. 24:23 So he prayed and asked the Lord to open his eyes. 24:25 And so you find that all through scripture. 24:27 Open his eyes, Lord, that he may see. 24:29 Do you pray, my eyes will be open 24:31 and all of our viewers today, Pastor? 24:32 Let's do it right, it's okay to pray, we need more prayer. 24:34 Amen. 24:36 Loving Father in heaven, we thank You for Your word 24:38 which is in fact a lamp. 24:40 Amen. Onto our feet. 24:42 And there are many now that have Bibles in their homes 24:45 but they open it to sometimes 24:47 philosophically try to find ways 24:49 to agree with the way they live, 24:52 the things they believe, 24:54 and sometimes we lack asking for the spirit of God 24:57 to lead us and understand 24:58 what You will have us to understand. 25:00 Help up us to know that the map has already been drawn, 25:03 the directions are already clear, 25:06 help us not to disagree so ardent, ardently against it 25:10 that we find ourselves on a road that You never intended. 25:14 And, so guide our minds as we continue to read Your word 25:17 and may our understanding becomes fruitful 25:20 as these words are not only planted in our mouths 25:24 but also planted in our hearts. 25:26 We pray and thank You, Father, 25:27 that You will reveal Your will through Your word 25:29 in Jesus' name. 25:31 Amen. Amen. 25:33 That just gave my spirit a little bit of rest. 25:35 How about you, Pastor John? 25:37 How about you, thinking about this, 25:38 this is resting our cares 25:40 and our thoughts upon Him because He cares for us. 25:43 You know Pastor Lomacang said something 25:45 that is so true even today, 25:47 in the very beginning the devil questioned 25:51 the Word of God by saying, 25:54 "Has God really said that?" 25:55 Yes. 25:56 And so he continues to do that today and unfortunately, 25:59 people do not understand that the devil can use them. 26:05 I take you back to the time 26:06 when Jesus said to the disciples, 26:09 "Who do men say that I am?" And they began to answer. 26:13 Some say Elijah, some say John, some say this. 26:16 And then he said... well, he first asked, 26:20 what do people say, and then he said, what do you, 26:22 who do you say and Peter said, 26:23 "Thou art the Christ, the son of the living God." 26:26 And Jesus said, 26:28 "Blessed are thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, 26:29 for flesh and blood has not revealed 26:31 this unto you, but my Father in heaven." 26:33 Amen. Beautiful. 26:35 And moments later Peter says something 26:39 that is basically shocking. 26:43 Jesus begins to tell them that He's going to be crucified 26:45 and Peter grabs Jesus and says, 26:49 "This is not going to happen to you, Lord, 26:50 this is not going to happen to you." 26:52 And Jesus said something shocking, 26:54 "Get thee behind me." 26:57 And so moments before Peter was being used by God 27:02 but he allowed. 27:04 Satan to come in and now he is saying something 27:07 that the devil wants him to say. 27:09 So even good people, people in church can be used 27:15 by the devil if they open a door, 27:17 if they allow that to take place. 27:19 So that's why the Bible says, 27:22 "Be slow to speak and swift to hear." 27:26 And so by the grace of the Lord, 27:28 we need to be very careful what we say. 27:30 So Pastor Lomacang said something 27:32 and I think you also did that lead me to come up 27:34 with this text here that is found in Isaiah 8:20, 27:37 and you know which one it is. 27:39 It says, "To the law and to the testimony, 27:41 that is the scriptures, 27:43 if they speak not according to this word, 27:46 it is because there is no light in them." 27:50 And so we have there, when it says to the law, 27:52 it's talking about the first five books of the Bible 27:54 to the testimony of the scriptures, 27:56 all of the scriptures, really of course, 27:58 we're reading in the Old Testament 27:59 so people will say, 28:01 well, this is talking about the Old Testament. 28:02 And so, but all of the scriptures 28:03 from Genesis to Revelation are the scriptures of the Lord 28:06 that are able to make us wise unto salvation. 28:09 And it is, it is high time, as the Bible says, 28:13 that we begin to study and live by them. 28:15 I'm glad you brought that up. 28:16 Chris, you want to say something first? 28:18 Oh, that's okay, go ahead, go ahead. 28:19 I'm glad you brought it up because when you said, 28:22 when people read that or hear that they may say, 28:24 well, this is talking about the Old Testament. 28:25 But 2 Timothy 3:16, 28:28 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God." 28:33 You have to be careful today 28:34 because you have churches nowadays 28:35 that say they don't teach doctrine, 28:37 that's a deception in and of itself. 28:38 Yes, it is. 28:39 Because the Bible says, 28:41 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God," 28:43 If you're teaching from the Bible 28:44 here's what you're going to get, 28:46 and it's profitable for doctrine. 28:48 Amen. 28:50 So how am I going to teach from God's word 28:51 and not teach doctrine? 28:53 You can't. 28:54 It's impossible. 28:55 It's like saying, I have a map 28:57 but I don't have any directions. 28:58 It's like saying, I have a GPS 29:00 but it's not telling me where to go. 29:01 That's right. It's ridiculous. 29:03 And so what happens is you have the very book 29:05 that's designed to give you direction. 29:07 First of all, it's designed to give you doctrine. 29:10 What is a doctrine? 29:11 A doctrine is a truth about God, 29:13 the truth about Jesus. 29:15 So if somebody says they're not teaching doctrine then what, 29:17 they're not teaching from the Bible 29:19 because everything in the Bible, 29:21 Jesus said that to His disciples. 29:23 Well, you just made the reference a moment ago, 29:25 John 5:39, 29:27 "Search the scriptures for in them 29:31 ye think ye have eternal life 29:32 and but they are they which testify of me." 29:35 So you cannot study the scriptures 29:37 without it saying something about Jesus, 29:39 which is a doctrine. Amen. 29:41 Not only is it for doctrine, for reproof, 29:43 showing us that's not correct. That's right. 29:46 That is not what the Bible teaches. 29:48 And some people have a hard time when we say, 29:50 well, I understand what you read, 29:52 and sometimes as Paul says, 29:54 they will take a difficult verse 29:56 and they would arrest and argue with it to their destruction. 30:00 And that's what people do nowadays, 30:01 they'll take a single verse 30:03 and build an entire building on it rather then Isaiah 42:21, 30:08 here little, here little, there little, there little, 30:11 put everything together what the Bible teaches 30:13 on a particular topic you never get to see. 30:14 That's right. 30:15 And I just want to say this to our audience, 30:18 there are some people that have doctrinal beliefs 30:20 that are not based on all that the Bible says 30:22 about a particular doctrine. 30:23 Let me give you one classic example. 30:25 Here's one that's not in scripture, 30:27 but people quote it all the time, they say, 30:28 "To be absent from the body is to be 30:30 present with the Lord." 30:32 That's not in scripture. 30:34 Paul says, I would rather, 30:36 see, I would rather, he's saying, 30:39 this body of death, and suffering, and heartache, 30:41 I cannot wait to get rid of this body. 30:44 And that's, and then he tells when, 30:46 when the Lord comes he'll change our vile body 30:49 that it will be fashioned like into his glorious body. 30:51 Praise God. 30:52 But when you put it all together, 30:54 you know when that's going to happen. 30:55 And the funny thing about that scripture 30:56 which is we used to talk about death, 30:58 not a single time does it ever say the word death. 31:00 No. 31:02 Not once is it talking about the topic of death. 31:04 So profitable for doctrine, for reproof. 31:08 In other words, I'll say, 31:09 that scripture is not talking about death, 31:11 that's reproof. 31:12 Now let's see what the Bible says, 31:13 "For correction," 2 Timothy 3:16, 31:16 let's put that scripture in the proper light, 31:19 correction, and then for instruction and righteousness. 31:22 This is how you live according to the scripture, 31:25 thou should not kill, thou should not steal, 31:27 thou should not commit adultery, 31:28 for instruction in righteousness 31:30 that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped. 31:33 Meaning, perfect. 31:35 That's right. 31:36 Thoroughly equipped for every good work. 31:38 So let's not be ashamed when we do it the correct way. 31:42 It says, you quoted there, all, all scripture. 31:45 So when someone, and I had a person one time said that, 31:48 "I want to do a Bible study." 31:49 I said, "Okay, wonderful, let's study the Word of God." 31:52 He said, "Well, all I use is the Book of Acts." 31:54 And I said, "Do what?" 31:56 "I want to do a Bible study 31:58 but I can only use the Book of Acts." 32:00 And I said, "Well, what wrong with all scriptures 32:02 given by inspiration of God?" 32:04 "Well, we're New Testament Christians." 32:05 I says, "It's wonderful. 32:07 But it takes the old to prove the new 32:08 and the new to prove the old." 32:09 And the Bible just, 32:11 this is where I think the simplicity for us all 32:12 is when it says all, the Bible means all. 32:15 That just covers the whole thing. 32:17 In 2 Corinthians 4:7, it refers to the Bible, 32:23 it says, "For we have this treasure in earthly vessel." 32:27 The board of God talks about, 32:30 in the word it talks about the word is a treasure, 32:33 it truly is a treasure, a treasure something 32:35 we should be seeking for, we should be digging for, 32:38 we should be studying for. 32:40 And I thought how interesting, but we have this treasure. 32:43 That's right. 32:44 Heaven made it possible that we can have the Word of God. 32:49 The Word of God is God's speaking, 32:52 glory to me. 32:54 Speaking, I'm getting goose bumps, 32:55 speaking to me. 32:57 And because I do that 32:58 because in my mind is who am I that He came, 33:03 would bleed and die for? Think about it, 33:05 who am I that the universe looks down, 33:09 knowing us as well as heaven knows us? 33:11 But said you know, 33:13 what I want you to be in the kingdom 33:14 and you need direction. 33:16 You're talking about road map, 33:17 You're talking about going straight to the kingdom, 33:18 here is that road map. 33:20 I don't want you to be fooled, don't want you to be deceived, 33:22 I want you know what truth is. John 17:17, what? 33:26 "Sanctify them through thy truth, 33:28 thy word is truth.' 33:29 It makes a difference what is truth. 33:30 It does. 33:32 Truth will sanctify. 33:33 We'll talk more about that another time, 33:34 I'm sure, but that's to me, 33:36 we need sanctification of the Word of God. 33:37 Amen. 33:39 I think we all agree here that the Bible is an infallible, 33:42 infallible, it doesn't fail. 33:44 No, it doesn't. 33:45 Revelation. No. 33:46 However, you can turn on the news in the morning, 33:48 even NBC, I hear it time and time, 33:50 they're addressing biblical issues, 33:52 times have changed. 33:54 That's the way people used to think, 33:56 we live differently today. 33:58 Do we? I like you said, well, some people say, well, 34:01 that's from the Old Testament. 34:03 Brother John, Pastor John went into the New Testament. 34:06 I want to share one from the New Testament as well. 34:08 Is it something, does our time 34:12 that we live in really change what the Bible says, 34:15 that it change how it should affect our heart. 34:17 This is what the Word of God says, 34:19 "But the word of the Lord endureth for ever." 34:23 Amen. 34:25 For ever. Amen. 34:26 We're still breathing, we're still living, 34:27 we're still buying, we're still selling, 34:29 we're still on this earth. It hasn't passed away. 34:32 Forever hasn't come yet, right? 34:34 We don't even, we can't even ascertain properly 34:36 what forever is. 34:37 We have a beginning and we have an end, 34:39 we don't understand what eternity is. 34:41 "His word endureth forever, 34:44 and this is the word 34:45 by which the gospel is preached unto you." 34:49 You see those of us, 34:50 those of you who may be thinking, 34:52 well, you know, 34:53 it just seems so old fashioned, go back, pray about it, 34:56 ask God to speak to your heart 34:59 in a way that you've never spoke, 35:01 he's never spoke to you before. 35:03 Because it's this word that we need to hide in our heart 35:07 and allow the Bible, the Word of God to come in 35:10 and change our mind, to change that stony heart 35:14 to a heart of flesh, to give us the character of Christ, 35:18 because it's that character that will be taken to heaven. 35:21 It won't be all these things that we're holding on to. 35:23 Right. 35:25 I've mentioned it before on this program, 35:26 my step dad told me years ago, 35:28 if you don't let go of the dross here, 35:30 someday it will be burned off. 35:33 So we have a choice. 35:34 Do we hold on to what we think is a new way of living 35:39 and we do away with the scripture? 35:41 Or do we accept the word as it says to accept it 35:45 and it endures forever? 35:47 It is the bread of life, it is God speaking to His people. 35:52 Yes. 35:53 It is Him speaking to you. That's right. 35:55 As a matter of fact, I am going to talk to you right now 35:58 because I saw you had a thought. 35:59 Oh, praise the Lord. Yeah. 36:01 Well, yes, you know, the truth is that if you look in history, 36:05 you're going to find that the devil has tried 36:07 to destroy the scriptures. 36:09 He's tried to burn it, 36:10 he's tried to take it away from people. 36:12 There was an era of time that is called the... 36:14 Dark ages. Dark ages. 36:16 Yes. 36:17 And that's because the scriptures 36:18 were kept from the people. Yes. 36:20 But praise be to God, 36:22 He has preserved the scriptures for us to have. 36:24 And there is one place that he cannot take it away from, 36:27 and that's from our mind and our hearts, 36:29 and that's why it is of vital importance 36:32 that we do as the Psalmist says, 36:34 "Thy word have I hid in my heart 36:37 that I might not sin against thee." 36:38 So we can have a vital need, it is like the breath of life 36:44 that we need to read the scriptures, to study them, 36:48 and seek to understand them. 36:49 And God is so wonderful, so good, he says, 36:52 call upon Me and I will show thee great and mighty things 36:56 that thou, no, it's not. 36:57 He is waiting for us to take time to dedicate to study 37:02 the scriptures to understand them. 37:04 And you know, I read things even, 37:07 sometimes I read Ellen G. White's writing, 37:08 she says, you should tax the mind 37:11 to seek to understand the scriptures 37:13 and plead with God, Lord, please show me, teach me. 37:18 You know when the disciples were walking on the road 37:20 to Emmaus a couple of them, Jesus came along with them 37:24 and they did not recognize Him. 37:25 And then there is something very interesting that 37:27 He says there, He says He opened their understanding. 37:30 Yes. That's right. 37:31 So we need to ask the Lord to open our understanding... 37:33 And where did he began, where did he began? 37:36 In the scriptures. 37:37 In the scriptures, in the beginning, 37:38 with the prophets. 37:40 That's right, in the scripture. It's beautiful. 37:42 All of the scriptures are treasure like we've said 37:45 and it's, we're missing, we're missing a lot 37:48 when we spend time on other things 37:51 that are not of value to us. 37:54 I like that. Yes. 37:56 There are so many people 37:57 that spend hours upon hours upon hours reading novels, 38:01 reading books by other authors. 38:03 I'm not saying that all the books are bad, 38:05 movies, television, but we don't dedicate, 38:09 as you just mentioned, that time for the Word of God. 38:12 And you know what the problem is? 38:14 Think of it as a, think of it as a college exam. 38:17 Here we are, we're living in the time of the end 38:20 where everything about God's word is going to be tested. 38:24 Yes, everything. 38:26 It's going to be tested. That's right. 38:27 And so far we're failing already in so many of the test, 38:30 change of, changing marriage to same-sex marriage. 38:33 The Sabbath has been abrogated and changed for the course 38:36 of more than a 1000 years. 38:38 The Sabbath has been replaced with Sunday, 38:40 honoring the first day of the week. 38:42 But when you think about 38:44 what is the test in that particular? 38:46 Well, when those who were instrumental 38:48 in making these changes will say, 38:51 let's go and use the same-sex marriage issue. 38:53 It wasn't changed based on the idea 38:54 that people said the Bible need to be changed 38:57 but they overrode the Bible and said, this is what we want. 39:01 So they didn't change the Bible to implement same-sex marriage, 39:05 they said this is what we want and we're going to do this 39:07 based on legislative principles not based on God's word. 39:10 But for those of us who know that God's word doesn't change, 39:14 we cannot leave the foundation of God's word 39:17 and accept man's word above God's word. 39:19 For example, Psalms 119:89, "For ever, O Lord, 39:24 thy word is settled in heaven." 39:27 So if it's been settled, somebody says, 39:29 it reminds me of the Hebrew standing before Nebuchadnezzar, 39:32 and Nebuchadnezzar says, 39:33 the next time I blow that trumpet, 39:35 the next time you hear the sound of the instruments, 39:37 you need to bow down. 39:39 And they said in essence to him, 39:40 we don't need to settle this matter with you, 39:43 we don't need to talk about this, 39:44 this matter has been settled forever. 39:46 I use David's words, it's been settled in heaven, 39:49 why do I have to discuss it with you? 39:51 Why do we need to even explain this to you, Nebuchadnezzar? 39:54 Here's what we're going to do, 39:55 you can blow that trumpet for the next five weeks, 39:57 we're not bowing down to any image. 39:59 His word is settled in heaven. 40:00 So if God's word is settled in our heart 40:05 and the question comes, has God said, 40:08 like the devil always does. 40:10 Does God's word really say you cannot marry somebody 40:13 from the same sex? 40:15 Well, depends on what you, it depends on how you read it, 40:18 they say. Exactly. 40:19 Well, Paul the apostle had issues with women. 40:22 Well, it was back then when you know, 40:25 things are different now. 40:26 Well, you know, we need to be more contemporary. 40:29 How long are we going to be stuck in that old rut? 40:32 Yes. 40:33 They give God's word all these tags but for ever 40:35 thy word is settled. Amen. 40:37 One more, "The grass where there's," Isaiah 40:8, 40:41 "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth 40:45 but the word of our God shall stand for ever." 40:48 Amen. 40:49 So when you say, man, how often does the grass wither? 40:51 Every season. 40:53 How often does the flower fade? 40:54 Every season. 40:56 When does God's word fade? 40:57 Never, no season. It stands for ever. 41:00 So you know, when you think about it 41:02 and I'm saying this to the listeners 41:03 and viewers of this program, 41:06 that the things that God wants to do in your life 41:07 will only be able to be accomplished 41:09 if you accept the fact that while society is changing, 41:12 God's word is not changing. 41:14 Why it won't change? For He is the same yesterday, 41:19 today, and forever. 41:20 And if He is the author, if He's the author 41:24 and finisher of our faith, He is the, 41:27 He became the author of those who believe Him. 41:32 He is the author. 41:34 If the author, what does the author mean? 41:36 All scriptures give by inspiration of God. 41:39 He's the author. 41:40 John 1:3, it talks about without Him 41:43 was not anything made that was made. 41:45 And sometime we refer that to other thing. 41:48 It applies here. Amen. 41:49 And why is it so important to do a study like this? 41:53 At the times of Christ, Christ walked this earth darkness 41:57 covered the earth, spiritual darkness, 42:00 like never before. 42:02 The son of God had to come to dispel that darkness. 42:05 We're living just before the coming of Jesus again. 42:09 The earth, it's dark outside, grose darkness, 42:11 Isaiah 60 talks about, it's covered the people, 42:14 the people's mind, we're dull. 42:17 If we look at it here how come sometime we reach groups here 42:21 and it seems to be spoken in such language. 42:24 I've heard people say, 42:26 why didn't Paul just said what he meant? 42:28 Cut to the chase, he just gave us all this runaround here. 42:31 We have to realize that as human beings 42:35 we are spiritually dull. 42:37 I think not, we're spiritually dull, 42:38 in fact we're degenerate. 42:40 We think about in so many different areas. 42:43 In the human, in the human realm 42:44 there are no sharp knives in the draw, in other words. 42:46 Exactly, exactly. 42:47 We need God's word to the guide us. 42:49 So what did God do? 42:50 He knew my condition, He knew the people, 42:53 He spoke these beautiful treasures from heaven, 42:56 but man cannot understand heaven's language 43:00 fully like we need to. 43:01 So he inspired men through the Holy Spirit to write 43:04 in their own tongue, in their own language 43:07 so that we could understand it. 43:09 How good God is? 43:10 He could have spoken in perfect language 43:12 but most of us would have read and said, what's that? 43:16 But he put it in for man could write it down 43:18 so that we could understand in simple language 43:21 what it is to love and to serve Jesus. 43:23 I think this is an awesome time to really prove 43:25 what scripture is telling us and what we need to be doing 43:28 as God's last day people. 43:29 Number one, get our nose, get our minds, get our heart, 43:32 get our bodies, spend time right now back to the word. 43:35 I love to get back to the word. 43:37 There's some scriptures in here. 43:38 Let's see how many more we can get in there 43:40 in the time we have remaining. 43:42 John. Okay. 43:43 Well, I was going to say something else. 43:45 Well, this, I think it needs to be said, 43:48 I don't want to dwell on it 43:50 because we don't want to dwell in what you call politics. 43:53 It talks about darkness spreading. 43:55 Yes. 43:58 Pastor Lomacang mentioned the same-sex marriage issue. 44:03 The president of the nation, Obama was one of the leaders 44:07 in leading this nation into this area of same-sex marriage. 44:13 And one thing that caught my attention was one time 44:16 one of the reporters, because he said that, 44:19 he started to tell the story of how they came to their decision 44:22 with his wife and children, they have friends, 44:25 they have the same-sex relationship. 44:28 And one reporter asked him, where is that in the Bible 44:32 that it says that it's okay for same-sex to get married. 44:37 And he said, it's all over the Bible. 44:40 And then he, but it's not, it's not in the Bible. 44:43 It's people twisting the scripture 44:47 so that they can do what they want to do. 44:50 Now we have to separate something, 44:52 that is loving the person and hating the sin. 44:57 Because the Bible makes it clear 44:59 that it's an abomination. 45:01 We can love the people but the sin 45:03 has to be called by what it is, it's sin. 45:06 So therefore, I want to mention Genesis 15:16, 45:12 God is talking to Abraham, and he says, 45:14 I'm going to give this land to your seed, 45:19 your inheritance but not yet because the iniquity 45:22 of the Amorites is not yet full. 45:24 In other words, there's a time 45:26 when God allows things to take place 45:29 and when iniquity reaches a certain portion 45:31 God takes action. 45:33 That's right. 45:34 You see it in Sodom and Gomorrah, 45:35 you see that it was going to happen to Nineveh. 45:37 And God sends warnings, God sends warnings. 45:40 When this nation gave, open door to same-sex marriage, 45:46 it is as a cup of iniquity 45:48 receives some more to get full and this nation 45:54 has placed itself in a dangerous territory 45:57 because it's going contrary to God's word. 45:59 I wanted to say that. 46:01 So 2 Timothy, now we're going to scripture. 46:03 All right. Or something else. 46:04 2 Timothy 2:15, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 46:11 a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, 46:13 rightly dividing the word of truth." 46:17 Amen. 46:18 "But shun profane and vain babblings: 46:20 for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 46:23 And their word will eat as doth a canker 46:26 of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus." 46:30 And it was the two that fought against the word. 46:32 Yes. 46:33 So we see that we have to study the word 46:35 and it's a study so thyself approved unto God. 46:39 And we have to rightly divide the word of truth, 46:41 rightly interpret the scriptures by the aid 46:44 of the Holy Spirit because this is clearly said, 46:46 it's the Holy Spirit that will guide us into all truth. 46:50 And I think it needs to be mentioned here too, 46:52 we're not just picking on people that, 46:55 that have chosen that lifestyle, 46:57 it's on our hearts and our minds 46:58 because we just experienced such a law being passed. 47:03 But we love the person. 47:05 Yes. 47:06 But see, the problem is they're not looking 47:08 at that lifestyle as sin 47:10 which the Bible says is an abomination. 47:13 They're giving a human right terminology. 47:17 So it's your human right. 47:19 You see, we can do that, 47:20 we're finding that in so many different areas of sin, 47:25 so many different areas of iniquity, 47:26 and not just that area 47:28 where right is becoming wrong and wrong is becoming right. 47:34 That's why I think this study is so important 47:38 because we need to come back to see 47:40 that God's word is an infallible revelation 47:42 for our lives, to lead, to guide, to reform, 47:45 to teach the doctrines. 47:48 To transform our minds and hearts. 47:50 The decisions we're talking about, 47:52 the decisions this country makes affects me individually. 47:55 It affects you, it affects the whole world 47:58 because God cannot bless the way He wants to. 48:00 And they say, well, don't talk about this issue. 48:02 You don't bring it up. 48:04 Well, it affects me. 48:05 Why? Because the blessings can't flow. 48:08 It affects this country in general 48:10 because God cannot bless that 48:11 when we go contrary to His laws. 48:14 Let me make a point here. 48:17 Chris, you've introduced the word lifestyle, 48:21 or the phrase lifestyle. 48:24 We call sin lifestyle. 48:26 See, that's a... 48:27 You know, lifestyle. 48:29 So your lifestyle is no different from my lifestyle, 48:30 even though our lifestyle differs. 48:34 That's your lifestyle, 48:35 this is my lifestyle instead of sin, 48:39 That's sin, this is sin. 48:41 Somebody might say, well, what's the difference between, 48:43 and I want to broaden the, 48:44 broaden the playing field because you know, 48:46 some sins have been around so long 48:48 we kind of ignore them now. 48:49 Like pornography, and adultery, and alcoholism, 48:55 and drug abuse, all these types, 48:57 they've been around so long, we kind of, well, 49:00 that's kind of old, let's talk about a new sin. 49:02 Sin is sin. That's right. 49:04 So God is not giving any kind of authority 49:06 to any of those things. 49:07 But the point that you made, and I like that, 49:09 till the time of the Amorites are fulfilled, 49:12 David the Psalmist said in Psalms 119:126, 49:16 and we could see that God does not allow sin 49:18 to take on a course that doesn't, 49:19 does never checked. 49:21 It's going to be checked. Yes. 49:23 Psalm 119:126, 49:25 "It is time for thee, Lord, to work: 49:29 for they have made void thy law." 49:31 Yes. 49:32 So the law that God has established in the land, 49:35 Isaiah 24, the earth is defiled under the inhabitants thereof 49:39 because they have transgressed the laws, 49:42 changed the ordinance, 49:43 broken the everlasting covenant. 49:45 That's right. 49:47 So that's what, that's why the world 49:48 is the way it is today. 49:50 And so we're trying to find order out of disorder, 49:54 and the only book that's designed 49:56 to keep us in order is being rejected, 49:59 and that's what the purpose of this program is. 50:00 And the Bible is the only book in entire world that to me, 50:05 any issue of your life, 50:07 anything you've ever encountered, 50:08 anybody else has ever, the word, 50:10 the answer is here for an individual, for you, 50:13 the answer is here in the book and it's from God. 50:17 You know, when we look at it, 50:18 God has given us clear information, 50:20 enough information to know about salvation. 50:23 There is no, clear in the word, 50:26 the words can't be any clearer than 50:28 what it takes to spend eternity with Jesus. 50:31 In fact, he just gives, it was in Acts 12:4, 50:34 there's no other name given among men 50:37 for about we must be saved is the name of Jesus. 50:41 Right quick, right there. 50:43 The name of Jesus, you know, just there is power, 50:45 there's strength, there's might. 50:48 I think of names I look, 50:50 and there's something about the name of Jesus. 50:53 When I say the name of Jesus, there is comfort, 50:54 there is hope, there is encouragement, 50:58 there is strength. 50:59 I know somebody cares. 51:01 And it just lifts me to a higher plateau, 51:04 not to say it like the world says the term 51:07 they use God's name. 51:09 But when you say it, 51:10 you know, as you're thinking about everything. 51:12 In reverence. 51:13 In reverence, it lifts us up. 51:15 So I'm gonna encourage people to turn to Jesus today. 51:18 Salvation, that's turn to Jesus 51:20 and get back to the Word of God. 51:22 We will see these things take place. 51:24 Yes. 51:26 So many scriptures I wanted to share 51:27 but I think the time is short. 51:28 Yeah, there are so many, so many are referred to God. 51:30 So we have Isaiah 60:1, 51:32 and I think we'll read the verse 2. 51:34 "Arise, shine, for thy light is come, 51:38 and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 51:40 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, 51:42 and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon 51:46 thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." 51:48 Why do I share this scripture? 51:49 Because we need to study the Word of God, 51:52 we need to seek, 51:55 to understand it by the grace of the Lord, 51:57 so that when grose darkness 51:59 is covering the land and the people, 52:00 we can by God's grace arise and shine for Him. 52:03 Amen. 52:04 So the light, Pastor, I mean, 52:05 how much light does it taken to dark place 52:08 to make a difference? 52:09 It doesn't take a whole lot. 52:11 If you light a candle in an abjectly dark forest, 52:14 that little light will still be seen. 52:16 I meet you one time before on a program here, 52:19 when I first get out of service I worked in a coal mine, 52:22 and you just have a little light up here, 52:23 there's no light down there. 52:25 That's right. 52:26 And it doesn't take a whole lot of light to light 52:28 on the pathway to put your feet on solid ground 52:30 and to be able to walk out of that place, 52:32 it's a 1,000 feet down and so on, 52:34 so if you need to. 52:35 We need to let our light shine. Amen. 52:37 You know, and what we're going to do? 52:38 We're going to have to take 52:40 a little short newsbreak right now. 52:41 And as we take this break, 52:42 stay tune because we'll be right back 52:44 with some more good news. |
