07:45 THANK YOU, DAN. I INVITE YOU TO BOW YOUR HEADS
07:52 WITH ME AS WE GO TO THE LORD IN PRAYER.
07:57 HEAVENLY FATHER, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY, LORD, FOR YOUR HOLY
08:02 SPIRIT TO WORK IN US AND THROUGH US.
08:05 I COMMIT MYSELF TO YOU NOW, LORD, TO TAKE THIS TIME AND
08:09 GLORIFY YOUR NAME IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY, AMEN.
08:14 THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLY ENTITLED "EROSION."
08:19 EROSION. PSALM 11:3 IS THE VERSE OF
08:26 CONSIDERATION. A POWERFUL VERSE, RELEVANT TO
08:30 THE TIMES IN WHICH WE LIFE. THE PSALMIST DAVID WRITES IF THE
08:36 FOUNDATIONS ARE DESTROYED, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?
08:42 ON MARCH 12th, 1928 AT 11:56 P.M., THE RESIDENTS OF A
08:48 DOWNSTREAM TOWN HAD NO IDEA THAT IN JUST ONE MORE MINUTE, THE
08:53 ENTIRE TOWN WOULD BE SWEPT INTO ETERNITY.
08:57 AT 11:57 P.M., A 205-FOOT WALL OF THE St. FRANCIS DAM
09:05 EXPLODED, SENDING MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER ON A VICIOUS
09:10 TEN-MILE DEATH MARCH. IT DESTROYED THE TOWN LOCATED
09:17 WHERE PRESENTLY SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, NOW EXISTS.
09:21 WHEN THE TRAGEDY WAS INVESTIGATED, THE BUILDER,
09:24 WILLIAM MULHOLLAND ADMITTED THAT HE SAW CRACKS DEVELOPING IN THE
09:29 WALL. HE SAW THE CRACKS DEVELOPING IN
09:30 THE WALL OF THE St. FRANCIS DAM.
09:33 AND HE SAID, AND I QUOTE, I SAW WATER SEEPING THROUGH THE WALLS.
09:40 THE ARTICLE SAYS MULHOLLAND ALONG WITH HIS ASSISTANT CHIEF
09:45 ENGINEER AND GENERAL MANAGER HARVEY VAN NORMAN EXPECTED THE
09:48 CRACKS AND LEAKS AND HE JUDGED THEM TO BE WITHIN EXPECTATIONS
09:53 FOR A CONCRETE DAM THE SIZE OF St. FRANCIS.
09:58 IT TOOK LESS THAN TWO YEARS FOR THE WALLS OF THE St. FRANCIS
10:02 DAM TO FAIL. IT TOOK LESS THAN TWO YEARS FOR
10:08 EROSION TO CLAIM 431 LIVES. BUT THE QUESTION IS, IF THE
10:14 RESIDENTS DOWNSTREAM HAD KNOWN, WHAT WOULD THEY HAVE DONE?
10:20 THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT THEY HAD LESS THAN TWO YEARS TO LIVE
10:25 AFTER THE St. FRANCIS DAM WAS BUILT.
10:28 MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THOSE LISTENING, WE LIVE IN A
10:32 DOWNSTREAM SOCIETY. THE WALLS THAT WERE BUILT FOR
10:35 OUR SECURITY HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS.
10:38 THE INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGNED FOR OUR SAFETY HAS BEEN ERODED.
10:44 THE DICTIONARY DEFINES EROSION AS FOLLOWS.
10:47 WHEN ENVIRONMENTAL FORCES EAT AWAY AT THE FOUNDATION THAT WAS
10:53 DESIGNED TO SUSTAIN IT, THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT.
10:58 NEVER BEFORE HAVE THE EFFECTS OF EROSION BEEN EVIDENT ON SO MANY
11:03 LEVELS. THE APOSTLE PAUL DESCRIBES
11:08 SCENES THAT APPLY WITH PARTICULAR FORCE TO THE LAST
11:11 DAYS, THESE CONDITIONS HAVE RELEVANCE ONLY TO THE LAST DAYS.
11:19 IN 2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5 I READ THE FOLLOWING WORDS: KNOW THAT, THAT
11:26 IN THE LAST DAYS, WHAT DAYS, THE LAST DAYS, PERILOUS TIMES WILL
11:30 COME. FOR MEN WILL BE LOVERS OF
11:33 THEMSELVES, THE BIBLE SAYS, LOVERS OF MONEY, BOASTERS,
11:45 PROUD, BLAST IF MOUSE, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS,
11:50 UNLOVING, UNFORGIVING, THE LAST DAYS, SLANDERERS WITHOUT
11:54 SELF-CONTROL, BRUTAL, DESPISERS OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD,
11:59 TRAITORS, PETTY, HAUGHTY, LOVERS OF PLEASURE RATHER THAN LOVERS
12:04 OF GOD. HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, THE
12:07 BIBLE SAYS, BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF, AND FROM SUCH WE
12:11 ARE TOLD TURN AWAY. THE EFFECTS OF EROSION TAKE TIME
12:17 TO BECOME OBVIOUS. THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS GIVEN A
12:21 GLIMPSE OF THE EROSIVE CONDITIONS THAT NEEDED AN
12:27 EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME TO TO BECOME CLEAR.
12:30 YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THINGS WE BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND TODAY THAT
12:33 WE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND EVEN TEN YEARS AGO.
12:36 AM I TELLING THE TRUTH? THERE ARE THINGS WE'RE SEEING
12:39 BOTH ECONOMICALLY, SOCIALLY, POLITICALLY, FINANCIALLY,
12:42 MORALLY, SOCIETALLY, THAT DID NOT MAKE SENSE UNTIL JUST A YEAR
12:47 OR TWO AGO OR THREE YEARS AGO OR FIVE YEARS AGO.
12:51 INVENTIONS ARE COMING TO THE FOREFRONT THAT WE ARE BEGINNING
12:54 TO UNDERSTAND EVEN THE DEVELOPERS OF SOCIAL MEDIA ARE
12:59 BEGINNING TO REGRESS THE EROSIVE EFFECTS OF PLATFORMS LIKE
13:04 FACEBOOK. I LISTENED TO AN INTERVIEW OF A
13:07 YOUNG INDIAN MAN THAT BECAME A MULTIMILLIONAIRE THROUGH THE
13:10 DEVELOPMENT OF FACEBOOK AND HE SAID WITH TEARS, I DON'T GIVE
13:14 CELLPHONES TO MY CHILDREN. I REGRET BEING INVOLVED IN
13:22 SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN A DESTRUCTION TO OUR SOCIETY BUT
13:25 IT TAKES TIME FOR EROSION TO BECOME OBVIOUS.
13:28 THE CRUMBLING SOCIETY THAT SURROUNDS US WAS PRODUCED BY
13:32 EROSION. BUT THE PROBLEM WITH EROSION IS
13:37 THIS. AFTER THE FACT, EVERYBODY KNOWS
13:39 WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY BEFORE THE FACT.
13:43 A GREEK POET BY THE NAME OF HOMER SAID THIS, POWERFUL
13:50 STATEMENT. HE SAID AFTER THE EVENT EVEN A
13:52 POOL IS WISE -- EVEN A FOOL IS WISE.
13:55 CONSIDER THE AVENUES OF EROSION. EROSION NUMBER ONE, DISTORTED
14:00 PSYCHOLOGY, HAS RESULTED IN THE EROSION OF PARENTAL AUTHORITY.
14:03 LET ME SPEAK WITH THE PARENTS FOR A MOMENT.
14:05 WHEN A CHILD CAN THREAT AN PARENT, WITHOUT ANY FEAR OF
14:09 DISCIPLINARY REPERCUSSIONS AND HAVE THE SUPPORT OF A LEGAL
14:13 SYSTEM, EROSION HAS TAKEN PLACE. WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I GREW UP ON
14:20 A DIFFERENT WORLD. COME ON, SOMEBODY.
14:22 WHEN I GREW UP, THE PHRASE THE BOTTOM LINE MEANT SOMETHING
14:28 QUITE DIFFERENT. I WAS TAUGHT CERTAIN BIBLE
14:30 VERSES AT CERTAIN MEMORABLE OCCASIONS.
14:34 WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS FOOLISHNESS IS BOUND IN THE HEART OF A CHILD
14:37 BUT THE ROD OF CORRECTION WILL DRIVE IT FAR FROM HIM, I
14:40 UNDERSTOOD WHAT THAT MEANT. ANYBODY ELSE?
14:43 WE LIVE IN A DOWNSTREAM SOCIETY. A DIFFERENT WORLD.
14:48 NOT ONLY DISTORTED PSYCHOLOGY BUT EVIDENCE OF EROSION NUMBER
14:54 TWO, MORAL DECLINE. CAN I SPEND A TWO-YEAR PERIOD ON
15:00 THAT. MORAL DECLINE IS THE EVIL THAT
15:01 HAS LED TO THE EROTATION OF FAMILY VALUES.
15:04 EROSION. THE BIBLICAL FAMILY REVOLVES
15:07 AROUND THE HUSBAND AND THE WIFE. GOD FIRST, HUSBAND AND WIFE
15:11 SECOND, CHILD LAST. HAVING CHILDREN USED TO BE
15:15 RESULT OF GETTING MARRIED FIRST. IF I HAD MORE TIME, I WOULD BE
15:24 SILENT LONGER. BUT THE MODERN FAMILY REVOLVES
15:27 AROUND THE CHILD. LOOK AT THIS.
15:30 CHILDREN FIRST, LOOK AT THEM IN WALMART.
15:32 LOOK AT THEM IN THE MALL. CHILDREN FIRST.
15:35 HUSBAND AND WIFE SECOND. GOD LAST.
15:39 CHILDREN ARE WORSHIPED IN PLACE OF GOD BUT A CHILD THAT DOES NOT
15:44 ACKNOWLEDGE GOD IS OFTEN SURROUNDED BY LITTLE GODS.
15:47 THEIR CELLPHONES, THEIR COMPUTERS.
15:49 THEY IDOLIZE THEMSELVES. WE LIVE IN A GENERATION WHERE
15:51 PEOPLE CANNOT WALK PAST A MIRROR.
15:55 WITHOUT STOPPING FOR A BRIEF WORSHIP SESSION OF THEMSELVES.
16:00 CHILDREN THAT DO NOT KNOW GOD WILL NOT RESPECT THEIR PARENTS.
16:03 CAN I GET AN AMEN. THAT'S WHY THE WISEMAN SAID
16:07 TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO.
16:11 WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, I DIDN'T GET OPTIONS WHEN SABBATH CAME.
16:14 YOU WANT TO STAY HOME, I NEVER GOT THAT QUESTION.
16:17 IF I WAS ALIVE AND MY LEGS WERE MOVING I WAS IN CHURCH.
16:20 ANYBODY ELSE, CAN YOU SAY AMEN. DO YOU WANT TO GO TO CHURCH.
16:24 STAY HOME, WE GIVE CHILDREN CHECKBOXES NOWADAYS.
16:27 WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IT WAS EITHER ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
16:32 IT WAS THEIR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY. CAN I GET AN AMEN.
16:35 TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO AND WHEN HE IS OLD, HE
16:38 WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT. THANK GOD AS I GOT OLDER, I
16:42 REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS A CHILD.
16:45 NOT ONLY THAT, CORRUPTION ON THE LEVEL OF ENTERTAINMENT, CORRUPT
16:50 ENTERTAINMENT HAS LED TO THE EROSION OF ETHICAL VALUES.
16:56 EROSION OCCURS WHEN WE EXPOSE OUR CHILDREN TO ENTERTAINMENT
16:59 THAT SUPPORT PRACTICES THAT CONFLICT WITH THE SCRIPTURES.
17:03 THINK ABOUT IT. THE TELEVISION SHOWS NOWADAYS.
17:08 THE MODERN FAMILY IS ATTACKING THE BIBLICAL FAMILY.
17:14 PROMISCUITY IS UNRAVELING MODESTY.
17:20 LITTLE GIRLS DON'T LOOK LIKE LITTLE GIRLS ANYMORE.
17:23 WHO DO WE BLAME? I BLAME THE PARENTS BUYING THE
17:27 CLOTHES. INNOCENCE IS BEING DESIGNED
17:29 AWAY. EROSION.
17:29 NOT ONLY THAT, SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS ERODING SOCIETAL VALUES.
17:36 FAMILY VALUES. MARITAL VALUES.
17:39 THE MARRIAGE IS UNDER ATTACK BECAUSE OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY.
17:48 IT'S TIME TO GIVE BACK THE VALUES BETWEEN GOD AND OUR
17:51 SPOUSES. AMEN.
17:52 HOMOSEXUALITY IS LAUGHING ITS WAY INTO THE HEARTS OF OUR
17:55 CHILDREN AND I DON'T CARE WHETHER OR NOT IT IS LEGAL.
18:02 GENDER OUT. I SAW A SIGN THAT SAID GENDER IS
18:05 OUT. AS OF 2018, THERE ARE 112
18:08 GENDERS. I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT MIXED UP IN
18:14 THAT CATEGORY. AMEN, AMEN.
18:17 THAT'S A DOUBLE AMEN. AND I PRAISE THE LORD AT THE END
18:20 OF THAT. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
18:23 PAUL DESCRIBES IN ROMANS 1:28, HE SAID THEY DID NOT LIKE TO
18:27 RETAIN GOD IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE. GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO A DEBASED
18:33 MIND TO DO THINGS WHICH ARE NOT FITTING OUR SOCIETY IN OUR
18:37 SOCIETY TODAY, PEOPLE DO THINGS THAT DOGS WON'T DO.
18:43 EROSION. IT TAKES TIME FOR MEN'S MINDS TO
18:46 BECOME DEBASED TO THE POINT WHERE THEY NO LONGER FEEL EVEN
18:50 THE NEED TO THINK MORALITY. BUT IT GOES ON.
18:54 CATEGORY NUMBER FOUR. UNQUENCHABLE THIRST FOR
18:58 TECHNOLOGY HAS RESULTED IN THE EROSION OF PRIVACY.
19:01 MILLENNIALS ARE SOCIALLY SATURATED AND RELATIONALLY
19:05 DISCONNECTED. THINK ABOUT IT.
19:07 THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO HAVE A BASIC CONVERSATION ANYMORE.
19:10 YOU MEET A YOUNG PERSON NOWADAYS, IT'S LIKE THEY SAW
19:13 THEMSELVES IN THE MIRROR. THEY DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO SAY
19:15 HELLO OR DROP DEAD. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT HOW TO
19:20 STICK THEIR HAND OUT AND SAY GOOD AFTERNOON, MA'AM, GOOD
19:22 AFTERNOON, SIR, ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
19:26 WIFI HAS FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED ITS PURPOSE.
19:28 LISTEN CAREFULLY. WE ARE NO LONGER CONNECTED.
19:33 NOW, YOU GET THAT ON MONDAY. WIFI NO LONGER CONNECTED, ARE
19:40 YOU GETTING IT? RECEIVING A TEXT USED TO MEAN
19:45 SOMEBODY GAVE YOU A BIBLE VERSE. BUT NOWADAYS WE LIVE IN MYSPACE,
19:49 FACEBOOK, TWITTER, SNAPCHAT, THAT'S ALWAYS IN OUR FACE.
19:54 ADD ALL THE OTHERS TO IT, INSTAGRAM.
19:58 THAT'S RIGHT. BETTER BEING ERODED, SOCIALLY,
20:01 MORALLY, ECONOMICALLY, BUT IT KEEPS GOING ON.
20:02 I WISH I COULD STOP BUT THE CATEGORIES KEEP MOUNTING.
20:06 WHAT ABOUT ECONOMIC INSTABILITY THAT HAS GIVEN BIRTH TO EROSION
20:10 OF FINANCIAL SECURITY. RIGHT NOW WE ARE GLORIFYING THE
20:14 FACT THAT THE STOCK MARKET IS UP BUT YOU BETTER HOLD YOUR BREATH.
20:17 AND SECONDLY YOU BETTER GET ON YOUR KNEES.
20:20 COME ON, SOMEBODY. BECAUSE WE HAVE NEVER LIVED IN A
20:23 WORLD WHERE THE STOCK MARKET HAS NOT COME DOWN AND OUR FUTURE CAN
20:26 ONLY BE SECURE IN THE HAND OF THE LORD WHO HAS MADE THE
20:31 PROMISE AND MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL OF YOUR NEEDS ACCORDING TO
20:36 WHAT, HIS RICHES AND GLORY. I LOVE BY PHILIPPIANS 4:19.
20:40 I DON'T LIVE BY PARTY. I DON'T LIVE BY REPUBLICAN OR
20:43 DEMOCRAT. I LIVE BY DIVINITY.
20:45 COME ON, SOMEBODY. THE APOSTLE PAUL WROTE THAT
20:48 EROSION WOULD EVEN CREATE LOVERS OF MONEY.
20:50 YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN TELL THAT EROSION HAS CREATED LOVERS OF
20:55 MONEY, EROSION OCCURS WHEN MONEY BECOMES MORE IMPORTANT THAN
21:00 MORALITY. DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT TOO LONG,
21:04 YOU MIGHT WAKE UP. OUR WORLD WHERE TRADING A STABLE
21:10 ECONOMY FOR AN UNSTABLE SOCIETY, DON'T LET ME START TALKING ABOUT
21:16 HOW IT AFFECTS THE CHURCH. HELP ME, LORD.
21:23 UNJUST JUDICIAL VERDICTS HAVE GIVEN WAY TO THE EROSION OF
21:26 HUMAN RIGHTS. ETHNIC INTOLERANCE HAS GIVEN
21:31 BIRTH TO THE EROTATION OF RESPECT REGARDLESS OF
21:34 NATIONALITY. NO AMEN NECESSARY.
21:48 EROSION OCCURS WHEN RACIAL INJUSTICE FINDS ITS WAY INTO THE
21:50 CHURCH. NO AMENS NECESSARY.
21:52 THE EROSION IS WHEN THE AGENDA OF A FEW ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN
21:56 THE RIGHTS OF MANY. CALL IT WHAT THEY MAY, WE HAVE
22:01 ARRIVED AT A TIME WHERE WE CANNOT IDENTITY CHRISTIANITY BY
22:04 WHAT THEY PROFESS, WE HAVE TO EXAMINE THEIR FRUITS BECAUSE
22:08 ANYBODY CAN SAY ANYTHING. ANYBODY CAN CARRY A LABEL, BUT
22:12 READ THE CONTENT. COME ON, SOMEBODY.
22:16 BIBLE SAYS YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS, MATTHEW 7:16.
22:20 DO MEN GATHER GRAPES FROM THORN BUSHES?
22:23 WHAT'S THE ANSWER, NO. OR FIGS FROM THISTLES.
22:25 I READ THIS QUOTATION IN THE GREAT CONTROVERSY, PAGE 602.
22:33 POWERFUL AS IT RELATES TO THE LAST DAYS.
22:34 I WANT YOU TO LISTEN CAREFULLY. WHEN THE TESTING TIME SHALL
22:38 COME. BUT WHAT KIND OF TIME.
22:39 IT'S COMING. PASTOR KENNY WAS TELLING YOU
22:42 ABOUT IT. WHEN THE TESTING TIME SHALL
22:44 COME. THOSE WHO HAVE MADE GOD'S WORDS
22:47 THEIR RULE OF LIFE REVEALED AND THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE
22:53 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EVERGREEN AND OTHER TREES.
22:55 BUT WHEN THE BLAST OF WINTER COMES, THE EVERGREEN REMAINS
23:00 UNCHANGED WHILE THE OTHER TREES ARE STRIPPED OF THEIR FOLIAGE,
23:03 LORD HAVE MERCY, SOME OF US ARE GOING TO BE STRIPPED OF OUR
23:08 FOLIAGE BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT BUILT ON A FOUNDATION THAT
23:11 CANNOT BE ERODED BY TIME AND SOCIETY.
23:13 SHE GOES ON TO SAY SO THE PROFESSOR MAY NOT NOW BE
23:24 DISTINGUISHED FROM THE REAL CRANE -- CHRISTIAN BUT THE TIME
23:28 IS UPON US, WHEN PERSECUTION BE KINDLED, AND THE HALFHEARTED AND
23:39 HYPOCRITICAL WILL WAVER AND YIELD THEIR FAITH BUT THE TRUE
23:44 CHRISTIAN WILL STAND FIRM AS A ROCK.
23:46 HIS FAITH STRONGER, HIS HOPE BRIGHTER THAN IN DAYS OF
23:52 PROSPERITY. WHAT THE SERVANT OF GOD IS
23:54 SAYING SIT TAKES DIFFICULT TIMES FOR REAL CHRISTIANS TO BE CLEAR.
23:58 IT TAKES TOUGH TIMES, TIMES OF EXAMINATION, TIMES OF
24:02 PERSECUTION, GOD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING WHEN HE BRINGS
24:05 PERSECUTION. CAN YOU TELL THE TRUTH?
24:06 IT IS IN THOSE DIFFICULT TIMES THAT OUR BIBLE BECOMES A BOOK OF
24:10 MEANING. IT'S NOT IN TIMES OF PROSPERITY
24:12 THAT WE ENJOY THE VALIDITY OF OUR RELIGIOUS WALK.
24:15 IT'S WHEN DIFFICULTY COMES THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN VERSES THAT WE
24:19 SCANNED OVER BECOME VERSES THAT WE NOW DIGEST.
24:23 BUT IT GETS EVEN DEEPER THAN THAT.
24:26 EROSION HAS AFFECTED ANOTHER LEVEL.
24:29 IT HAS TAKEN AMERICA 243 YEARS TO GET TO WHERE IT IS TODAY AND
24:32 SATAN HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE EROSION OF AMERICA SINCE IT
24:37 BECAME A NATION. GOD ESTABLISHED AMERICA TO BE A
24:42 NATION BASED ON THE CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES OF THE BIBLE.
24:47 HEAR ME CAREFULLY BECAUSE I CAN'T STOP THERE.
24:49 GOD DID NOT CREATE A NATION WITH RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE TO BE AT
24:53 ITS FOUNDATION. GOD DID NOT CREATE THIS NATION
24:56 TO BE A PLACE WHERE WE CAN TELL OTHERS WHAT AND HOW THEY CAN AND
24:59 CANNOT WORSHIP. GOD CREATED AMERICA SO THAT
25:03 RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE WILL NOT BE A PART OF ITS FABRIC.
25:06 ARE YOU HEARING ME TODAY? WE ARE BECOMING A NATION WHETHER
25:08 EVEN IN THE RELIGIOUS CIRCLES, RELIGION IS BECOMING A LITMUS
25:12 TEST FOR OFFICE. I DON'T NEED MY PRESIDENT TO BE
25:15 A CHRISTIAN. I NEED TO FOLLOW CHRIST.
25:20 WHAT YOU BELIEVE HAS NO FOUNDATION IN MY WALK WITH JESUS
25:23 ON A DAILY BASIS. HOW YOU EAT DOES NOT AFFECT HOW
25:26 I EAT. HOW YOU DRESS DOES NOT AFFECT
25:28 HOW I DRESS. CAN I BE CLEAR TO YOU TODAY?
25:31 WE ARE SAYING IS HE CHRISTIAN. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER HE'S
25:35 CHRISTIAN. CHRIST IS OUR FOCUS.
25:38 IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE DOES, IT'S WHAT THE RIGHT
25:44 HOUSE HAS ALWAYS DONE, IT'S THE FOUNDATION THERE.
25:47 HOLD ME BACK, HOLY GHOST. DON'T FORGET WHAT WE OVERLOOK AS
25:53 INNOCUOUS EVENTUALLY REVEALS ITSELF AS DANGEROUS.
25:55 WHAT WE DISMISS AS IRRELEVANT WILL PROVE TO BE CONSEQUENTIAL
26:00 BUT THE MORE SOBERING FOCUS ON THIS MESSAGE IS NOT THE EROSION
26:07 OF THE WORLD BUT THE EROSION OF GOD'S REMNANT CHURCH.
26:13 EROSION BEGINS EVER SO SLIGHTLY THAT IT LEADS US TO IGNORE ITS
26:19 EXISTENCE. I CAN GO BACK TO WHAT IT WAS
26:21 LIKE TO BE A YOUNG SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN.
26:25 I REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN I WAS JUST HOLDING ON BY A THREAD.
26:30 WHEN I JUST GOT BACK INTO THE CHURCH.
26:32 I JUST TRIED TO FIND A WAY TO BE SAVED AND NOT LIVE BY THE TRUTH.
26:36 THE LORD SAYS THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT'S GOING TO BE.
26:38 HE SENT A YOUNG LADY WHO IS NOW MY WIFE TO BRING ME BACK TO A
26:41 FOUNDATION BUILT ON THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD.
26:43 I'M AMAZED HOW TODAY IN MANY OF OUR CIRCLES, IN MANY OF OUR OWN
26:49 RELIGIOUS CIRCLES THE VERY THING THAT THE FOUNDATION OF OUR
26:52 GROWTH AS CHRISTIANS ARE BEGINNING TO BE QUESTIONED EVEN
26:57 AMONGST US. EROSION IS WORKING BENEATH THE
27:05 SURFACE, UNRELENTING FORCE THAT CONTINUES TO CHIP AWAY AT THE
27:07 FOUNDATION. IF WE DON'T STOP ITS CHIPPING
27:10 AWAY, BEFORE LONG, THE VERY THINGS WE THOUGHT WERE FIRM
27:12 UNDER OUR FEET WILL BEGIN TO FALL AWAY.
27:15 WE'VE GOT TO PRAY AND HERE'S MY RECOMMENDATION.
27:18 I CAN'T SAY MY EDICT BUT MY RECOMMENDATION.
27:21 YOU HAVE TO HAVE A WALK WITH CHRIST YOURSELF.
27:23 GROOVE -- YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW WHAT YOU BELIEVE YOURSELF.
27:26 YOU CAN'T ASK PRIESTS NOR PASTOR NOR CLERGY NOR EVANGELIST.
27:32 YOU HAVE TO KNOW GOD'S WORD YOURSELF.
27:36 AMEN. YOU CAN'T MISS THE WORLD SO
27:38 TURBULENTLY BORN, YOU CAN'T EVEN LET THE PERIOD OF DIGESTION LULL
27:42 YOU TO SLEEP. YOU HAVE TO STAY AWAKE ALL THE
27:44 TIME BECAUSE THE DEVIL NEVER FALLS ASLEEP EVEN AFTER A MEAL.
27:50 YOU THINK YOU'RE HUNGRY. HE'S WALKING ABOUT LIKE A
27:55 ROARING LION SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR.
27:59 HE'S DIGESTING YOU. EROSION IS AS DESTABILIZING THE
28:05 FOUNDATION OF OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
28:07 I COULD SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME ON THAT ONE.
28:10 BUT I JUST WANT TO PULL YOUR COATTAILS.
28:13 EROSION IS DESTABILIZING BIBLICAL TRUTHS.
28:16 I'M AMAZED WHEN I MEET OTHER SEVEN-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS
28:20 AND I SAY THIS AS ONE WHO IS ON THE INSIDE, I'M A PASTOR IN THE
28:24 SEVEN-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH, I'M AN ORDAINED MINISTER.
28:31 I'VE BEEN IN THIS WORK SINCE 1987 AS A PASTOR.
28:37 PASTOR DOUG BROUGHT ME IN AS HIS ASSISTANT EVANGELIST.
28:40 BUT I'VE BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE
28:44 CERTAIN THINGS THAT WILL CLEAR 70 YEARS AGO THAT DON'T NEED TO
28:49 BE REVISITED. I MEAN, WHEN DID THE SABBATH
29:00 BECOME IRRELEVANT? WHEN DID THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY
29:06 LOSE ITS VALUE IN OUR CHURCH? EROSION IS DESTABILIZING THE
29:10 FOUNDATION, IT'S DESTABILIZING BIBLICAL TRUTHS.
29:14 TODAY WE HAD PEOPLE QUESTIONING THE ROLE OF DIVINITY AND THE
29:17 HOLY SPIRIT IS NO LONGER RELEVANT IN THE GODHEAD, SOME
29:20 PEOPLE SAY BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU, YOU MESS WITH THAT, YOU
29:23 BLESS THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOUR CARCASS WILL BE ON THE OUTSIDE
29:28 OF NE NEW JERUSALEM BECAUSE GRIEVE NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHEREBY WE ARE SEALED THE DAY OF
29:38 REDEMPTION. I PREFER TO BELIEVE THAT HE, NOT
29:42 IT, HE IS THE THIRD PERSON OF THE GODHEAD.
29:48 EROSION IS YESSI YES -- QUESTIONING THE RELEVANCE OF THE SANCTUARY.
29:52 I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT A CATHOLIC PRIEST SAID.
29:56 A CATHOLIC PRIEST IN CHICAGO IN A SIM PODIUM WITH MANY
30:02 DENOMINATIONAL LEADERS, A CATHOLIC PRIEST SAID THE SEVENTH
30:05 DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH HAS GIFTED THE PROTESTANT WORLD THE PROPER
30:09 UNDERSTANDING OF THE SANCTUARY AND HERE WE HAVE ON OUR OWN
30:13 MIDST FOLKS BEGINNING TO QUESTION THAT.
30:15 THE PREACHING OF THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGES IS VANISHING.
30:19 THAT'S WHY THE LORD IMPRESSED ME TO PUT TOGETHER A BOOKLET ON THE
30:22 THREE ANGELS MESSAGES IN SUMMARY.
30:23 YOU WANT TO GET BUSY, GET THAT INTO THE HANDS OF YOUR
30:27 NEIGHBORS, YOUR FRIENDS. IT IS TIME TO GET BACK TO THE
30:30 FOUNDATION OF OUR MESSAGE. SOMEBODY OUGHT TO SAY AMEN.
30:33 THE SANCTITY OF THE SABBATH IS BEING DISMISSED WITH IMMUNITY.
30:38 PEOPLE -- IMPUNITY. PEOPLE THAT LIVE AT HOME IN
30:40 THEIR OWN COMMUNITY RATHER THAN GETTING LUNCH READY TO GO HOME
30:45 AND EAT THEY'RE GOING TO RESTAURANTS ON THE SABBATH.
30:48 IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE NOT HOME. FOLKS THAT KNOW THEIR BODY IS
30:55 THE TEMPLE OF GOD ARE BEGINNING TO DRINK WINE AND THE EXCUSE IS
30:59 IN IT'S SMALL, MODERATE PORTIONS LIKE THE WEARING OF TINY
31:05 JEWELRY. THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF
31:08 ABSINCENANCE, NOT MODESTY WHEN IT COMES TO OUR ADORNING OF OUR
31:12 BODIES. IT IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD ON THE
31:13 INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT A POPULAR MESSAGE
31:16 BUT I GAVE UP POPULARITY A LONG TIME AGO.
31:21 LIKE A SILENT PREDATOR, EROSION IS PATIENT AND STEALTHY.
31:26 EROSION'S FOOTSTEPS ARE MUTED BUT ITS RESULTS ARE
31:30 CATASTROPHIC. WHILE METHODS VARY WITH TIME,
31:32 METHODS SHOULD NOT REPLACE THE TRUTH BUT EROSION SEEKS TO
31:35 REPLACE TRUTH WITH THE WORSHIP EXPERIENCE.
31:39 I HEAR A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT GOSPEL EXPLOSIONS.
31:45 GOSPEL EEXPLOSIONS, THAT SHOULD BE OUR EVANGELISTIC THRUST.
31:48 WE'RE HAVING A GOSPEL EXPLOSION. EMPLOY UP NEIGHBORHOODS WITH
31:53 THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.
31:57 THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE WHERE WE SHOULD BE EXPLODING IS GETTING
32:03 THE GOSPEL INTO THE COMMUNITY. EVER SINCE WHEN THAT WORSHIP
32:10 EXPERIENCE IS AN EXCUSE FOR ABANDONING TUTH, PEOPLE ASK HOW
32:13 DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU HEARD THE SERMON.
32:16 IT'S NOT HOW YOU FELT, IT'S WHAT DID IT DO TO YOUR LIFE.
32:18 HOW DID IT GUIDE YOU, NOT HOW YOU FELT.
32:22 JESUS DIDN'T DIE BECAUSE OF HOW HE FELT.
32:24 HE DIED ON A FOUNDATION OF IMMOVEABLE PRINCIPLES.
32:28 BUT THE DEVASTATING IMPACT OF EROSION ONLY BECOMES OBVIOUS IN
32:35 HINDSIGHT. MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, SATAN IS
32:36 THE ORCHESTRA OR THE OF EROSION. IT'S TAKEN 6,000 YEARS TO REVEAL
32:43 THE EROSIVE EFFECTS THAT BEGAN AS A BATTLE IN HEAVEN.
32:46 BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IS HOW DID THE CHURCH GET TO
32:49 WHERE IT IS TODAY. CAN I TELL YOU?
32:54 GENESIS 2:3, LOOK AT THAT VERY QUICKLY WITH ME.
32:57 A VERY POWERFUL PASSAGE. A VERY POWERFUL PASSAGE.
33:01 EROSION STARTED IN A CONVERSATION, A BASIC
33:05 CONVERSATION BETWEEN A LIAR AND A WOMAN THAT WENT IN THE WRONG
33:10 DIRECTION. WHEN THE CHURCH GOES IN THE
33:11 WRONG DIRECTION, THEY HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH A LIAR.
33:17 YOU WILL GET THAT ON TUESDAY. THE WOMAN SAID TO THE SERPENT
33:26 VERSE 2 AND 3, WE MAY EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF THE GARDEN,
33:32 BUT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE, 2 AND 3, THE WOMAN SAYS WE MAY EAT
33:38 THE FRUIT OF THE TREES OF THE GUAGARDEN BUT THE FRUIT OF THE TREE
33:42 IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN GOD HAS SAID YOU SHALL NOT EAT IT
33:47 NOR SHALL YOU TOUCH IT LEST YOU DIE.
33:50 SHE LIED. GOD NEVER SAID DON'T TOUCH SO IT
33:54 THE SERPENT SEIZED THE FRUIT AND PUT IT IN HER HAND AND SINCE SHE
33:59 DID NOT DIE HE SAID YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE.
34:02 THE WOMAN CHOSE THE WORD OF THE ADVERSARY OVER THE WORD OF GOD.
34:07 THIS IS GOING TO GET DEEP. PUTT ON YOUR SCUBA DIVING GEAR.
34:14 THE WOMAN REPRESENTS THE CHURCH. ANYTIME THE CHURCH IGNORES THE
34:18 WORD OF GOD AND CHOOSES SATAN'S WORD ABOVE THE WORD OF GOD,
34:24 EROSION BEGINS. GOD IS EVEN DEEPER, LISTEN TO
34:31 ADAM TELL ON HIMSELF. GENESIS 3.
34:33 WHEN THE LORD CAME LOOKING FOR CONFESSION, ADAM CAME OUT AND
34:37 BLAMED HIS WIFE. LADIES, YOU CAN HOLD IT TOGETHER
34:41 FOR A MOMENT. HE SAID THE WOMAN YOU GAVE TO BE
34:46 WITH ME, SHE GAVE ME OF THE TREE AND I ATE.
34:51 ADAM TOLD ON HIMSELF. HE DID NOT HAVE TO EAT.
34:55 BUT THOSE THREE WORDS, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, PLUNGED US
34:59 INTO THE CONDITIONS THAT WE ARE IN TODAY.
35:01 DO YOU THINK THAT SIN IS INNOCUOUS?
35:07 AND I ATE. THREE WORDS.
35:09 SIN HAS ONLY THREE LETTERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WORD SIN IS
35:14 THE LETTER "I." I GOT TO TAKE IT EVEN DEEPER.
35:18 WHEN PASTORS SEIZE THE FRUIT FROM THE HANDS OF A DECEIVED
35:24 WOMAN, A CHURCH GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND DIGESTS IT,
35:28 ARE YOU LISTENING, THEY ARE OPENING THE DOOR TO SPIRITUAL
35:34 EROSION, IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT IT'S HARD TO FIND THE TRUTH
35:37 TODAY IN THE CHRISTIAN WORLD. THE CHRISTIAN WORLD IS LOSING
35:41 ITS WAY, IT'S BUILDING ITS FOUNDATION ON MUSIC AND
35:45 ENTERTAINMENT AND LIFE AND CAMERA AND ACTION AND THERE'S
35:49 NOTHING WRONG WITH MUSIC AND LIGHT AND CAMERAS AND ACTION,
35:52 AMEN. BUT WHEN IT IS PREFERRED ABOVE
35:56 THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD, WHEN THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD IS
36:00 PROCLAIMED AND THE VOICE OF THE PERSON RECEIVING IT SAYS I KNOW
36:03 WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS BUT YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
36:06 GOAT AND A SHEEP, A GOAT ALWAYS SAYS BUT.
36:12 YOU'LL GET THAT ON WEDNESDAY. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT
36:15 TAKE TIME TO SINK IN. IT'S STRANGE TODAY TO SAY TO
36:20 SOMEBODY IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS AND THEY SAY THAT'S
36:24 YOUR INTERPRETATION. HIVE PASTORS THAT HAVE ARGUED
36:31 WITH ME ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF GOD'S WORD.
36:33 I HAVE PASTORS TAKING GOD'S WORD AND BENDING IT FOR THEIR
36:36 FINANCIAL PROFITS. FOR THEIR FINANCIAL BENEFITS.
36:40 BUT I RECENTLY BECAME A LITTLE BIT MORE ENCOURAGED WHEN BENNY
36:45 HINN CONFESSED ALL THE YEARS HE HAD BEEN LYING TO PEOPLE AND
36:48 TAKING THEIR MONEY FALSELY. ANYBODY SAW WHAT I'M TALKING
36:51 ABOUT? LOOK IT UP ON YOUTUBE.
36:53 BENNY HINN CONFESSED. HE SAID I'VE BEEN USING GOD'S
36:56 WORD FOR THE WRONG PURPOSES AND THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS CONVICTED ME
37:02 AND REBUKED ME. HE SAID I WILL NO LONGER ASK FOR
37:04 MONEY. AND THEY WILL NO LONGER INVITE
37:09 ME TO THOSE BEGATHONS BECAUSE I REFUSE TO BEG PEOPLE FOR MONEY
37:13 ANY LONGER. HE SAID WE ARE GRIEVING THE HOLY
37:15 SPIRIT OF GOD WHEN WE USE THE GOSPEL FOR PERSONAL PROSPERITY.
37:19 SOMEBODY OUGHT TO SAY AMEN AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE FOLLOWING IN
37:22 THE SAME LINES. I BELIEVE NO MATTER HOW WRONG A
37:24 MAN CAN GO, AS LONG AS HE'S ALIVE, GOD CAN GET HIS
37:27 ATTENTION. CAN YOU SAY AMEN?
37:30 THE CHURCHES TODAY ARE CRUMBLING BECAUSE THE MINISTERS HAVE BEEN
37:33 PREACHING MESSAGES THAT SUPPORT THE EROSION OF TRUTH RATHER THAN
37:37 THE EVICTION OF SIN. WE ARE TEACHING TOLERANCE OF
37:42 SIN. RATHER THAN DELIVERANCE FROM
37:47 SIN. BUT ADAM SAID IN THE GARDEN OF
37:50 EDEN THAT COMPROMISED LEADERS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING EVER SINCE.
37:54 I TOLD YOU TO PUT ON YOUR SCUBA GEAR.
37:58 NOW IT'S TIME TO GET TO INTO A SUBMARINE, WE'RE GOING DEEPER.
38:02 WHAT ADAM DID IN THE GARDEN OF EDEL -- EDEN HAS BECOME A
38:08 PATTERN AMONG LEADERS THAT GOD CHOSE.
38:10 THINK ABOUT IT. THINK ABOUT IT.
38:16 ADAM CHOSE EVE OVER GOD. HE PREFERRED WHAT SHE OFFERED
38:21 RATHER THAN WHAT GOD SAID. I COULD GO DOWN THE LINE TO
38:26 ABRAHAM. I COULD GO TO DAVID.
38:28 I COULD GO TO SOLOMON. HE HAS SERIOUS ISSUES.
38:33 I COULD GO ON THROUGH ALL THE LEADERS.
38:35 IF YOU LOOKED AT THE BIBLE, IT CAME WHEN WOMEN THAT WERE CHOSEN
38:38 BY THE ENEMY CAME AMONGST MEN CHOSEN BY GOD AND LED THEM DOWN
38:44 THE WRONG PATH BUT LET'S GET DEEP HERE.
38:46 ARE YOU READY FOR IT? AHAB CHOSE A PROSTITUTE, NOT
38:51 BECAUSE OF WHO SHE WAS BUT BECAUSE OF WHO HE WAS.
38:55 SHE CAPTURED HIS ADMIRATION NOT BECAUSE OF HOW SHE WALKED BUT
38:58 BECAUSE OF HOW HE REFUSED TO WALK.
39:01 ARE YOU LISTENING? ISRAEL'S WORSHIP WAS
39:07 SYNCHRONIZED TO THE TEMPO OF A JEZEBEL, A TEMPO SET BY JEZEBEL.
39:12 AHAB'S LIFE BECAME AN ORCHESTRATED MARCH OF EVENTUAL
39:17 COLLAPSE. HE ALIGNED HIMSELF WITH A WOMAN
39:18 THAT DID NOT ALIGN HERSELF WITH GOD.
39:22 WHEN JEZEBEL MINCED AND AHAB'S MIND HE COULD HEAR THE SONG
39:27 "WALK THIS WAY." IT WAS NOT THE SCENT OF AHAB'S
39:33 COLOGNE THAT ATTRACTED JEZEBEL TO HIM BUT THE STENCH OF HIS SIN
39:37 THAT ATTRACTED HIM TO HER. AHAB DESERTED HIS GOD FOR A
39:43 WOMAN THAT WAS DEDICATED TO HER GOD.
39:46 SHE WAS MORE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT HER GOD THAN AHAB WAS ABOUT HIS
39:51 GOD. I'M TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S
39:56 HAPPENING IN AMERICA. GOD DID NOT CALL JEZEBEL.
40:00 GOD CALLED AHAB. BUT LET ME REVEAL TO YOU THE
40:05 PRINCIPLE AS TO HOW HE GOT WHERE HE WAS.
40:09 OUR FEET WILL NEVER TAKE US WHERE OUR MINDS HAVE NOT LED US.
40:17 WHEN WE LOSE OUR ENTHUSIASM FOR GOD, WE WILL BECOME ENTHUSIASTIC
40:22 FOR THE WRONG GOD. YOU FOLLOW THAT THROUGH.
40:25 MY WIFE AND I SAT DOWN, WE'RE READING THE BIBLE, WE'RE IN THE
40:28 BOOK OF NEHEMIAH. YOU WANT TO READ A CHAPTER
40:31 THAT'S POWERFUL ABOUT THE REDEMPTIVE LOVE OF GOD, READ
40:35 CHAPTER, I -- CHAPTER 9, IT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR JOY AND
40:42 APPRECIATION OF THE GOD WHO LOVES US REGARDLESS OF WHO WE
40:45 ARE AND WHAT WE HAVE DONE. GOD HAS THIS -- I CAN'T EVEN
40:53 CALL IT A CHARACTERISTIC BECAUSE IT'S WHO HE IS.
40:57 GOD REFUSES TO ALLOW ANY OF US TO PARISH WHEN ISRAEL TIME AFTER
41:03 TIME FELL INTO REBELLION INTO APOSTASY.
41:12 THEY EVEN SAID TO GOD WE DON'T CARE BUT WHEN THEY GOT INTO
41:16 TROUBLE AND THEY CRIED OUT TO GOD THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE MIDST
41:19 OF THEIR TROUBLE HE CRIED TO GOD AND HE HEARD THEM AND DELIVERED
41:23 THEM. AREN'T YOU GLAD FOR THAT KIND OF
41:26 GOD? WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE.
41:28 BUT WE HAVE TO REMAIN ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT OUR GOD.
41:31 WE HAVE TO REMAIN ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE MESSAGE GOD HAS GIVEN
41:35 TO US. WE MUST REMAIN ENTHUSIAST IRK
41:38 ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTALS OF OUR FAITH BUT NEVER GET IT MIXED
41:43 UP. IT IS NOT THE FUNDAMENTALS OF
41:45 OUR FAITH ON WHICH OUR SALVATION IS BUILT.
41:47 OUR SALVATION IS BUILT ON THE NONEROSIVE FOUNDATION CALLED
41:52 CHRIST JESUS. BUT NOTHING GETS WHERE IT IS
41:58 IMMEDIATELY. AHAB'S APOSTASY WAS NOT SUDDEN.
42:03 EROSION TAKES TIME. THE AVALANCHE THAT CRIPPLED
42:07 ISRAEL BEGAN AS A TRICKLE AND IT WAS IGNORED.
42:10 THAT'S WHY MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE HAVE TO PAY
42:11 ATTENTION TO THE TRICKLES IN OUR OWN LIVES.
42:14 AM I TELLING THE TRUTH? IT'S EASY TO LOOK AT THE TRICKLE
42:16 IN EVERYBODY ELSE'S LIFE. PEOPLE COME TO CHURCH AND THIS
42:20 IS SO-AND-SO'S TRICKLING AND BROTHER SO-AND-SO IS TRICKLING.
42:24 YOU BETTER LISTEN TO THE TRICKLE IN YOUR OWN LIVES BUT WE COULD
42:28 EASILY EXAMINE OTHER FOLK. IT'S SAD WHEN MEMBERS GET
42:30 TOGETHER TO DIGEST OTHER MEMBERS.
42:33 OR EVEN THE PASTOR FOR THAT MATTER.
42:37 SOMETIMES I'M AT HOME AND I CAN FEEL THE MEMBERS CHEWING AT MY
42:40 BACK. I SAID HONEY, WHAT WAS THAT.
42:43 SHE SAID I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. I THINK OH, IT MUST HAVE BEEN
42:46 THE MEMBERS. [ Laughter ]
42:50 THAT IS THE WORK OF THE DEVIL. WE'VE GOT TO PUSH FOR UNITY LIKE
42:53 THEY DID ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST.
42:55 WHEN THE PEOPLE OF GOD ARE UNIFIED, GOD CAN WORK THROUGH A
42:58 PEOPLE THAT ARE UNIFIED, NOT ONLY TO AN UNCOMMON GOD BUT TO A
43:03 DIVINE PURPOSE. WHAT YOU DO SAY?
43:05 WHEN WE ARE UNIFIED ONLY THEN CAN WE EXPERIENCE THE OUTPOURING
43:10 OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD ON A PEOPLE THAT ONLY THEN WILL BE ABLE TO
43:14 ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE CANNOT ACCOMPLISH WHILE WE ARE DIVIDED
43:18 AND JUST IN CASE YOU THINK IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO GET YOU TO
43:21 UNIFY WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, THE BIBLE SAYS AS MUCH AS IT IS
43:25 POSSIBLE WITH YOU, BE AT PEACE WITH ALL MEN.
43:29 IT IS A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. I CAN'T TELL YOU ANYTHING IF
43:33 YOUR HEART IS NOT RIGHT. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT
43:36 HAPPENED TO ISRAEL, LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY.
43:37 THAT'S WHY I'M AMAZED; I'M SADDENED WHEN I BEGIN TO SEE OUR
43:43 CHURCHES CHANGING THEIR NAMES FOR POPULAR NAMES IN
43:45 CHRISTIANITY SO LET ME DIVE A LITTLE DEEPER RIGHT NOW.
43:48 WHEN KING SOL WAS IN APOSTASY HE DISGUISED HIMSELF.
43:51 WHEN AHAS BEEN WAS IN APOSTASY, HE DISGUISED HIMSELF.
43:56 CAN I GET CLEAR TODAY? IT IS TOO LATE FOR THEE ADVENTIST
44:03 CHURCH TO DISGUISE. WE AIN'T NO COMMUNITY THIS.
44:07 THIS IS THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
44:11 THE NAME SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST IS THE MESSAGE.
44:14 WE STILL HONOR THE SABBATH OF THE CREATION OF GOD.
44:19 WE STILL BELIEVE WHAT JESUS DID IN THE BEGINNING IS STILL
44:22 RELEVANT TODAY. WE STILL BELIEVE WHEN HE SAID
44:25 REMEMBER THAT WE OUGHT TO REMEMBER.
44:27 COME ON, SOMEBODY. IT IS NOT GROWING OLD WITH TIME.
44:29 IT CANNOT BE TALKED AWAY. IT CANNOT BE DILUTED, DELAYED OR
44:35 ERODED AWAY. WHAT IS TRUTH 5,000 YEARS AGO IS
44:38 TRUTH TODAY. THE BIBLE SAYS THE PATIENCE OF
44:43 THE SAINTS, WHEN PEOPLE TELL ME THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD CANNOT
44:46 BE KEPT I SAY YOU NEED TO DELETE REVELATION BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS
44:51 ANGRY WITH THOSE WHO BY GOD'S GRACE ARE LIVING THEIR LIVES IN
44:55 HARMONY WITH IT. EROSION.
44:57 I MUST SAY MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS, IT IS IN THIS CRITICAL
45:00 HOUR GOD IS CALLING HIS PEOPLE TO STAND STRONG.
45:03 IT IS IN THIS CRISIS HOUR IF YOU DON'T THINK THIS HOUR IS CRISIS,
45:07 LOOK AT WHAT ROME IS DOING. LOOK AT OUR POLITICAL QUAGMIRES.
45:11 GOD HAVE MERCY ON US. WHEN WE TALK MORE ABOUT POLITICS
45:17 THAN ABOUT JESUS. DON'T GET ME STARTED.
45:25 I DON'T CARE WHO IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
45:28 I'M ONLY CAMPAIGNING FOR JESUS. I'VE NEVER FOUND JOY AND
45:32 PROVISION IN ANY MAN OR WOMAN FOR THAT MATTER.
45:34 I AIN'T PUSHING NOBODY. I AIN'T CAMPAIGNING FOR DIDDLY
45:41 SQUAT. IF THAT'S WHO IS RUNNING MORE
45:46 OFFICE, DIDDLY SQUAT IS NOT GETTING MY VOTE.
45:49 I'M VOTING FOR JESUS. COME ON, SOMEBODY.
45:53 WE OUGHT TO STOP THE FOOLISHNESS OF THINKING THAT GOD HAS CALLED
45:56 A CHURCH FOR POLITICAL REASONS. REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID TO THE
46:01 DISCIPLES. MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD.
46:04 LET'S REMEMBER WHAT JESUS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES.
46:09 THE SEASON BELONGS TO HIM AND GOD TO GOD WHAT BELONGS TO HIM.
46:12 HE SAID IF MY KINGDOM WERE OF THIS WORLD MY DISCIPLES WOULD
46:16 FIGHT. WHY DO YOU THINK WE'RE FIGHTING?
46:18 WHY DO YOU THINK ADVENTISTS CAN'T TALK TO ADVENTISTS?
46:22 BECAUSE WE'RE FIGHTING OVER PARTIES RATHER THAN OVER JESUS.
46:26 WE ARE UPLIFTING ONE AGENDA ABOVE THE OTHER WHEN THE ONLY
46:29 AGENDA THAT MATTERS IS THE AGENDA OF THE CROSS.
46:33 YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME BUT THEN I DON'T REALLY CARE.
46:37 BECAUSE I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE RELEVANT THINGS OF THE HOUR.
46:41 WHEN THAT PRESIDENT IS NO LONGER THERE, WE'LL ARGUE OVER THE NEXT
46:45 ONE AND THE NEXT ONE LIKE WE'VE BEEN DOING SINCE THE LAST
46:52 PRESIDENT GOT ELECTED. IT'S NOT ABOUT PRESIDENTS, IT'S
46:55 ABOUT JESUS. THERE'S ONLY ONE THRONE, AMEN,
46:57 AND NOBODY CAN VOTE HIM OUT. [ Applause ]
47:07 IT IS IN THIS CRITICAL HOUR GOD IS CALLING TO US TAKE A STAND.
47:10 IN THIS CRISIS HOUR GOD IS CALLING US BACK TO UNADULTERATED
47:15 WORSHIP. IT IS IN THIS CLOSING SCENE OF
47:17 HISTORY THAT GOD IS CALLING US BACK TO THE FOUNDATION OF
47:22 FAITHFULNESS. THAT'S WHY I GAVE YOU ONLY TWO
47:25 RECOMMENDATIONS. ONLY TWO LISTS.
47:30 ONLY TWO THINGS I SUGGEST YOU DO.
47:35 DON'T BUILD ON ANYTHING THAT CAN BE ERODED.
47:39 THE WORDS OF JESUS IN LUKE 6:47 AND 48.
47:43 HE SAID THESE WORDS, WHOEVER COMES TO ME AND HEARS MY THINGS
47:49 AND DOES THEM I WILL SHOW YOU WHOM HE IS LIKE.
47:51 HE IS LIKE A MAN BUILDING A HOUSE WHO DUG DEEP.
47:55 HOW DID HE DIG? IT'S TIME TO GET BACK INTO DEEP
47:59 BIBLE STUDIES, NOT IN THE SABBATH CLASS, IN YOUR HOUSE.
48:08 HUSBANDS GET BACK TO BEING THE PRIEST OF YOUR HOME.
48:11 WIVES SUPPORT YOUR HUSBAND IN THAT AREA.
48:12 IF THEY'RE A LITTLE SLOW, SAY DID YOU FORGET SOMETHING TODAY
48:16 LIKE MY WIFE DOES. I WAKE UP SOMETIMES TO GET BUSY
48:20 ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF THE CHURCH AND SHE SAYS HONEY, LET'S NOT
48:23 FORGET ABOUT OUR OWN DEVOTIONS. GOD KNEW WHO I NEEDED TO STAY
48:28 RIGHT. THANK YOU, HONEY.
48:29 HE GOES ON TO SAY HE DUG DEEP AND LAID A FOUNDATION ON THE
48:32 ROCK AND WHEN THE FLOOD AROSE, THE STREAM BEAT VEHEMENTLY
48:38 AGAINST THAT HOUSE AND IT COULD NOT SHAKE IT FOR IT WAS FOUNDED
48:44 ON THE ROCK. SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU OUGHT TO
48:46 NOTICE. I DON'T HAVE TIME, I NEED TO
48:49 PLANT THE SEED. STUDY THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE NEW
48:55 JERUSALEM. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM CAN BE
48:58 AFFECTED BY EROSION. YOU'LL GET THAT ON THURSDAY.
49:08 NOT A SINGLE ELEMENT IN THE FOUNDATION OF JERUSALEM CAN BE
49:10 AFFECTED BY EROSION. YOU KNOW WHY?
49:14 BECAUSE NO OTHER FOUNDATION CAN ANY MAN LAY THAN THAT WHICH IS
49:19 LAID WHICH IS CHRIST JESUS. COME ON, SAY AMEN.
49:22 WE HAVE TO BUILD OUR HOUSES ON THE ROCK, THE THREE ANGELS
49:26 MESSAGES IS A ROCK MESSAGE. WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE DID I SAY?
49:30 IT'S A ROCK MESSAGE. IT IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF
49:34 HEART. STOP TIPTOEING THROUGH THE
49:36 TULIPS. STOP MEANDERING IN MEETIOKTY AND
49:43 NEGOTIATING AT THE TABLE OF THE ENEMY.
49:45 TELL IT LIKE IT IS. THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGE IS NOT
49:48 PREPARING US FOR THE FINAL PICNIC OF THE AGES NOR THE FINAL
49:53 EXCURSION OF THE AGES BUT IT'S GETTING US READY FOR THE FINAL
49:56 BATTLE OF THE AGES AND WHEN THAT BATTLE COMES IF YOUR ARMOR IS
49:59 NOT FROM GOD, IF YOUR ARMOR IS NOT FROM CHRIST, YOU WILL FALL
50:03 DOWN. THE MESSAGE IS TO BE PREACHED
50:07 OVER THE BATTLING CONFUSION OF COMPROMISE.
50:10 LET ME MAKE A POINT. DON'T LIFT UP JESUS INSTEAD OF
50:14 THE DOCTRINE. THAT'S FALSE CHRIST
50:20 CENTEREDNESS. PEOPLE SAY JUST PREACH JESUS,
50:22 JUST PREACH JESUS. THAT'S FALSE CHRIST
50:26 CENTEREDNESS. LIFTED LIFT -- LIFT UP JESUS BY
50:30 THE DOCTRINE. INCLUDE JESUS IN ALL YOUR
50:33 MESSAGES. JESUS IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR
50:34 FAITH BUT IF THAT'S THE ONLY MESSAGE THAT THERE WAS, HE WOULD
50:38 NOT INCLUDE 66 BOOKS. REVELATIONS SHOULD NO LONGER --
50:45 I GOT TO REPEAT THAT. REVELATIONS SHOULD NOT BECOME A
50:50 MYSTERY AMONG ADVENTISTS. NO OTHER FOUNDATION CAN ANYONE
50:55 LAY THAN THAT WHICH IS LAID WHICH IS CHRIST JESUS.
50:59 THAT'S MY FIRST RECOMMENDATION. MY SECOND RECOMMENDATION IS EVEN
51:02 TOUGHER THAN THAT. THE FIRST ONE IS DON'T BUILD ON
51:07 ANYTHING THAT ERODES BY MY SECOND ONE IS TOUGHER.
51:09 ARE YOU READY FOR IT? EXAMINE THE CRACKS IN YOUR OWN
51:12 LIVES. GET OUT YOUR OWN MIRRORS.
51:15 IF YOU CAN'T SEE, GET SOME WINDEX OR BUY A BIG ONE FROM
51:20 FLOOR TO CEILING AND SAY LORD, SHOW ME ME.
51:24 LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. THE MOST SPIRITSUAL TIMES IN MY
51:30 LIF -- THE MOST SPIRITUAL TIMES OF MY LIFE CAME ON THE HEELS OF GOD SHOWING ME WHO I
51:38 AM. AM I TELLING THE TRUTH?
51:40 IF YOU CAN'T SEE WHO YOU ARE, YOU'RE NOT READY FOR THE
51:45 KINGDOM. BECAUSE NOBODY IS GOING INTO THE
51:48 KINGDOM WITHOUT THE GARMENT OF CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS.
51:51 IF YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR SIN, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG TRIBE.
51:54 THERE ARE SOME FOLK THAT SPEND ALL THEIR LIVES EXAMINING THE
51:57 CRACKS AND OTHER FOLKS' LIVES, CAN'T SEE THE CRACKS IN THEIR
52:01 OWN LIVES YOU AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE.
52:03 BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T FOCUS ON YOUR OWN SINS, YOU CAN'T SEE THE
52:05 SIN THAT YOU NEED TO BE SAVED FROM.
52:07 THEREFORE, YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED.
52:09 AND SALVATION DOESN'T HAVE A DATE ON IT.
52:11 LE ISVATION IS A PROGRESS PROCESS.
52:14 HE SAVES FROM US THE PENALTY OF SIN.
52:16 THANK THE LORD I'M NOT ON DEATH ROW.
52:18 SALVATION IS A DAILY WALK CALLED SANCTIFICATION.
52:23 ONE DAY WHEN THERE'S NO LONGER TEMPTATION WE WILL BE SAVED FROM
52:26 THE PRESENCE OF SIN. DON'T WALK AROUND TALKING ABOUT
52:30 YOU SAVED. YOU BETTER HUMBLY LIVE UNDER THE
52:32 GRACE OF CHRIST EVERY DAY. EXAMINE YOURSELF THE APOSTLE
52:35 PAUL SAYS. 2 CORINTHIANS 13, EXAMINE
52:41 YOURSELF, 13:5, EXAMINE YOURSELVES TO SEE WHETHER YOU
52:43 ARE IN THE FAITH. TEST YOURSELF.
52:47 DO YOU NOT KNOW YOURSELVES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU UNLESS
52:52 INDEED YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED OR THE KING JAMES VERSION SAYS
52:57 REPROBATE? GET BACK TO THE DISTINCTIVE
52:59 TRUTHS. THEY ARE THE FOUNDATION OF OUR
53:02 FAITH, THE PROPHET ISAIAH SAID SPEAKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF GOD
53:08 IN THE LAST DAYS, IT DOES NOT APPLY TO JUST THE SABBATH BUT
53:12 EVERYTHING IN OUR LIVES THAT'S BEEN ERODED.
53:14 THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO ARE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE THE
53:17 FINAL GENERATION, HE SAYS THEY THAT SHALL BE OF THEY SHALL
53:21 BUILD UP THE OLD WASTE PLACES. COME ON, SOMEBODY.
53:23 IT'S TIME FOR SOME OLD CHRISTIANITY.
53:27 I'M TALKING ABOUT OLD-FASHIONED BUT OLD.
53:30 THAT MEANS THINGS TRUE 5,000 YEARS AGO OUGHT TO STILL BE TRUE
53:34 TODAY. THEY SHALL BUILD UP THE OLD
53:36 WASTE PLACES. THEY SHALL RAISE UP THE
53:39 FOUNDATIONS OF MANY GENERATIONS, THEY SHALL BE CALLED WHAT?
53:44 REPAIRERS OF THE BREACH. WHEN YOU REPAIR THE BREACH,
53:47 EROSION IS STOPPED. RESTORERS OF PATHS TO DWELL IN.
53:52 IT'S TIME THAT WE RESTORE PROPER WORSHIP.
53:59 NOT LOOKING FOR A FEELING. NOT WAITING FOR SOME TWITCH IN
54:04 ORDER TO LIVE RIGHT. NOT WAITING FOR A CERTAIN
54:09 RHYTHMIC PITCH IN ORDER FOR US TO WAKE UP AND SAY WE HAD A GOOD
54:12 TIME IN CHURCH. YOU WANT TO SEE A GOOD TIME,
54:14 IT'S COMING, IT'S CALL THE TIME OF TROUBLE.
54:16 THEN IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THAT, YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD TIME.
54:20 IT'S HIGH TIME TO STAND UP FOR THE TRUTHS OR WE'LL FALL FOR
54:24 TRADITION. IT'S HIGH TIME TO STRAIGHTEN UP
54:26 SO THAT SOMEBODY ELSE CAN WALK RIGHT IN THE PATH GOD HAS
54:32 ESTABLISHED FOR OUR OWN FEET. IT'S HIGH TIME TO SPEAK UP FOR
54:37 THE CAUSE OF CHRIST. WHEN IT'S ALL OVER AND DONE,
54:41 ONLY THEN THERE ARE CERTAIN HYMNS I WANT TO STILL SING WHEN
54:44 I GET TO HEAVEN. THE FIRST ONE IS THE CHURCH HAS
54:48 ONE FOUNDATION. 'TIS JESUS CHRIST THE LORD.
54:51 WE MUST SAY WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN ON CHRIST, THE SOLID ROCK, I
54:56 STAND ALL AT THE GROUND, SINKING SAND.
55:00 YOU KNOW WHY, BECAUSE HE'S MY ROROCK OF AGES.
55:04 TODAY I NEED TO STILL HIDE MYSELF FROM THEE.
55:07 WHAT YOU DO SAY? TO MY BRETHREN, DON'T JUST SING
55:10 IT, LIVE IT. DON'T JUST WALK IT, WALK IT.
55:13 DON'T JUST WAIT FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD, WORK FOR THE COMING
55:16 OF THE LORD. DON'T JUST BE A SEVENTH DAY
55:20 úADVENTIST, BE AN ADVENTIST EVERY DAY.
55:22 DON'T SETTLE FOR BEING IN THE CONGREGATION, DON'T STOP UNTIL
55:25 YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN CHRIST. AMEN, BECAUSE ONE DAY WHEN IT'S
55:28 ALL OVER I WANT TO BE STANDING ON THE SEA OF GLASS.
55:31 I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND, HONEY, TOGETHER, FOREVER, ETERNITY IN
55:36 VIEW. THAT AT THE SAME TIME PLEDGE MY
55:37 WIFE AND I HAVE MADE TO EACH OTHER.
55:39 WE WOULD RATHER FIGHT THAN SOMEBODY.
55:43 COME ON SOMEBODY ELSE. AMEN.
55:46 I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE AND NEITHER IS SHE.
55:48 WE'RE GOING TO GET OLD TOGETHER. AND WHEN WE ARE DONE GETTING
55:54 OLD, WE'LL GET YOUNG ALL OVER TOGETHER IN HEAVEN.
55:57 AMEN, SOMEBODY. I WANT TO BE THERE WHEN THE
56:00 ROADS BLOOM AGAIN AND THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR RISES AGAIN.
56:03 I WANT TO BE IN THE KINGDOM WHEN THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD SIGNS
56:06 AGAIN AND THE OIL OF GLADNESS FLOWS AGAIN WITHOUT RESTRAINT.
56:10 I WANT TO BE ON THE FIRST HALF OF THE MORNING WHEN THE LION OF
56:14 THE TRIBE OF JUDAH ROAR AGAIN AND THE OATH OF SALVATION
56:18 BECOMES THE FINISH OF MIFF FAITH.
56:20 I DETERMINE TO BE THERE ON THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY WHEN THE
56:22 MIGHTY GOD BECOMES THE EVERLASTING FATHER.
56:25 WHEN THE FIRST ADAM HUGS THE SECOND ADAM, I WANT TO HEAR THE
56:30 THUNDEROUS FEET OF REDEMPTION JOINING TOGETHER IN THE MASSIVE
56:32 HUG OF REDEMPTION. I WANT TO BE THERE WHEN THE
56:34 ALPHA BECOMES THE OMEGA AND I WILL FINALLY SEE HIS FACE.
56:40 BUT MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, DO NOT FORGET WE ARE LIVING IN THE
56:43 HOUR OF EROSION. WE LIVE IN A DOWNSTREAM WORLD.
56:48 THE CRACKS ARE CLAIMING US. NEVER FORGET, IF THE FOUNDATION
56:55 BE DESTROYED, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?
57:01 IS THERE SOMEBODY HERE TODAY THAT WANTS TO SAY BY GOD'S GRACE
57:03 I'M GOING TO HOLD ON UNTIL IT'S ALL OVER.
57:08 I'M GOING TO RIDE THE WAVES UNTIL THE SHIP LANDS IN THE NEW
57:13 JERUSALEM. I'M GOING TO BUCKLE MY SEAT BELT
57:15 IN THE TURBULENCE OF THE CHURCH AND I'M NOT GETTING OFF BECAUSE
57:19 YOU DON'T LIKE THE RIDE. I'M STAYING WITH IT UNTIL THE
57:21 DAY IS DONE AND WHEN EROSION IS ALL OVER, WE WILL SEE THE
57:28 UNMOVEABLE, UNDILUTABLE FOUNDATION AND HIS NAME IS
57:29 CHRIST. GOD BLESS YOU.
