a good, dear friend of mine
00:08:18.43\00:08:22.23
and I love that song because my
mother used to sing that song.
00:08:22.23\00:08:26.47
Beautiful, Beautiful.
00:08:26.47\00:08:28.67
>> We awake at 03:00PM in the
afternoon. Then this is usually
00:08:28.67\00:08:33.61
when we when we we go home,
we take our you know, we do our
00:08:33.61\00:08:37.48
lay activities.
00:08:37.48\00:08:39.98
>> You know what I'm talking
about. Somebody all take a hike
00:08:39.98\00:08:42.85
to the springs.
00:08:42.85\00:08:44.92
The bad spring. That's what I'm
talking about. Yeah. Hopefully
00:08:44.92\00:08:49.49
we're awake and ready to
hear the word of the Lord.
00:08:49.49\00:08:52.43
>> I'm excited. So excited.
Be able to present this topic.
00:08:52.43\00:08:55.76
>> And to be chosen to be able
to speak in front of you today
00:08:55.76\00:08:58.67
and to all of
you around the world.
00:08:58.67\00:09:00.54
We have lots to discuss in such
a short time. And I would like
00:09:00.54\00:09:03.91
to get right to it before
before we get into the word of
00:09:03.91\00:09:05.91
God, which we always do
and let us pray. My friends,
00:09:05.91\00:09:11.28
our father in heaven,
00:09:11.28\00:09:13.92
we humble
ourselves and your presence.
00:09:13.92\00:09:17.42
We do not even question
00:09:17.42\00:09:20.02
whether or not you are
here because we believe
00:09:20.02\00:09:23.83
and the word of the Lord where
it says were 2 or 3 or more
00:09:23.83\00:09:27.46
gathered
00:09:27.46\00:09:28.93
in your name.
00:09:28.93\00:09:30.37
There you are in the midst
00:09:30.37\00:09:32.40
fathers we take on
this most important topic
00:09:32.40\00:09:35.90
of overcoming liberalism.
00:09:35.90\00:09:38.94
I pray lord that you will
empower me to only speak your
00:09:38.94\00:09:41.98
words if there's a foreign
idea, lord that I had planned
00:09:41.98\00:09:45.81
to say that comes
into my mind, that
00:09:45.81\00:09:49.35
is not according to your will
or according to what you would
00:09:49.35\00:09:52.15
want presented here today.
I pray that you will s**** it
00:09:52.15\00:09:54.32
out of my brain and that only
the words and only the thoughts
00:09:54.32\00:09:58.56
and actions of Jesus
will be presented here today.
00:09:58.56\00:10:01.90
Rain down your spirit in this
room. Fill our hearts and draws
00:10:01.90\00:10:04.90
to Jesus Christ.
00:10:04.90\00:10:06.67
This powerful word we have
to ask in his holy name. Amen.
00:10:06.67\00:10:10.84
Amen. Amen.
00:10:10.84\00:10:12.94
Overcoming liberalism.
00:10:12.94\00:10:15.88
You look, I'm just telling
you straight up, my friends.
00:10:15.88\00:10:18.68
If you came here today for a
political sermon, you're going
00:10:18.68\00:10:21.85
to be very, very upset.
00:10:21.85\00:10:24.49
We're not talking about
Democrats. We're not talking
00:10:24.49\00:10:26.72
about Republicans left or right
in the political arena will
00:10:26.72\00:10:30.03
leave all that garbage out
there. We're here to talk about
00:10:30.03\00:10:33.03
the word of God and its
importance. And we're going to
00:10:33.03\00:10:35.90
be looking today and I know
that, you know, we're talking
00:10:35.90\00:10:38.53
about we talk in terms of turn
terminology and meetings and
00:10:38.53\00:10:41.30
definitions. You know, we can
get a little sketchy on some of
00:10:41.30\00:10:43.71
those things. But we're looking
at this from a theological
00:10:43.71\00:10:45.77
perspective, speaking a
theological liberalism. And
00:10:45.77\00:10:49.94
we're going to find that in
just a few moments. But I want
00:10:49.94\00:10:52.21
to jump right into defining
just the word liberalism.
00:10:52.21\00:10:55.48
And I went to several different
sources to grab a few terms
00:10:55.48\00:10:58.95
just to bring those together
to give us an idea as to what
00:10:58.95\00:11:02.46
we're talking about. We're
speaking of liberalism and then
00:11:02.46\00:11:05.79
we're going to again a shape
and mold that into a and even
00:11:05.79\00:11:09.86
more in depth topic as
we continue one but defining
00:11:09.86\00:11:14.27
liberalism. So usually when I
start just a simple definition
00:11:14.27\00:11:18.94
research, I go to good OL Google
00:11:18.94\00:11:22.71
and this is what Google put
out their willingness to respect
00:11:22.71\00:11:27.38
or except behavior or opinions
different from one's own
00:11:27.38\00:11:31.25
openness to new ideas,
00:11:31.25\00:11:34.72
not necessarily bad in and
of itself, but that's Google's
00:11:34.72\00:11:37.86
definition which of the
Miriam's Webster Dictionary and
00:11:37.86\00:11:41.00
it had multiple definitions.
But just trying to stick to the
00:11:41.00\00:11:43.87
theological subject we're
talking about today and in the
00:11:43.87\00:11:47.40
context of the church,
this is what Merriam-Webster's
00:11:47.40\00:11:50.31
dictionary had to say in
defining liberalism. It says a
00:11:50.31\00:11:53.71
movement in modern
Protestantism emphasizing
00:11:53.71\00:11:57.35
intellectual liberty and the
spiritual and ethnic content of
00:11:57.35\00:12:01.62
Christianity.
00:12:01.62\00:12:04.55
Emphasizing
intellectual liberties
00:12:04.55\00:12:08.66
went to the Collins Dictionary.
This is what Collins dictionary
00:12:08.66\00:12:11.33
had to say. It is a belief
that people should have a lot of
00:12:11.33\00:12:15.26
political and
individual freedom.
00:12:15.26\00:12:19.83
Cambridge dictionary,
00:12:19.83\00:12:21.90
that's a smart dictionary
00:12:21.90\00:12:23.97
straight from Cambridge.
00:12:23.97\00:12:26.81
And it says an attitude of
respecting and allowing many
00:12:26.81\00:12:30.75
different types or believes
or behaviors just allowing them
00:12:30.75\00:12:35.55
again, the freedom, the
liberty of just allowing.
00:12:35.55\00:12:40.02
And then I went to a few other
sources and kind of gathered
00:12:40.02\00:12:42.56
and pick here and there
and gathered a few others. Some
00:12:42.56\00:12:44.83
other sources said stuff
like lacking moral restraint,
00:12:44.83\00:12:49.73
not strict but loose.
00:12:49.73\00:12:54.44
Another source said not bound
by authoritarianism orthodoxy
00:12:54.44\00:12:59.27
or traditional forms.
00:12:59.27\00:13:02.38
And as I often have
opportunities to get into some
00:13:02.38\00:13:07.45
interesting conversations
with people through, you know,
00:13:07.45\00:13:10.59
my online sources or in person
or whatever the conversation
00:13:10.59\00:13:14.36
may lead to as recently as
just within the last week or 2
00:13:14.36\00:13:18.59
ahead, a couple of people
express their liberal thought
00:13:18.59\00:13:20.83
in this way. One person
told me, please don't shove your
00:13:20.83\00:13:23.97
blatantly disrespectful,
frankly, disgusting and
00:13:23.97\00:13:26.97
outdated opinions about me.
00:13:26.97\00:13:31.57
>> As they were.
00:13:31.57\00:13:32.67
>> They work. They work
categorizing me as a legal list
00:13:32.67\00:13:35.84
or an ultraconservative.
00:13:35.84\00:13:38.08
Another person recently said to
me, I have better things to do
00:13:38.08\00:13:41.08
than to debate someone
who still lives in 1950,
00:13:41.08\00:13:44.59
[MUSIC]
00:13:44.59\00:13:47.22
my friends. I'm going to
tell you, I have and I'm sure us
00:13:47.22\00:13:50.49
every one of us is as
experienced this before,
00:13:50.49\00:13:52.83
especially myself being in
the public spotlight, you know,
00:13:52.83\00:13:56.00
having the wonderful privilege
of expressing what I believe to
00:13:56.00\00:13:58.50
be the truth of God's word.
I have been categorized not
00:13:58.50\00:14:01.47
have been labeled as both
a liberal and a conservative.
00:14:01.47\00:14:04.77
I have been told and I'm
are very, extremely liberal and
00:14:04.77\00:14:07.48
some of my views and I've
been told that on to alter
00:14:07.48\00:14:10.11
conservative into the point,
I haven't been allowed to be
00:14:10.11\00:14:12.81
invited to certain churches
are certain places to speak.
00:14:12.81\00:14:16.25
But, you know, I've learned in
Archer. So just go with me for
00:14:16.25\00:14:19.12
just a moment. This isn't just
for adventurism like 7th Day
00:14:19.12\00:14:22.09
Adventists. This is for Advent
his in general. Now, let's
00:14:22.09\00:14:25.29
define administers just a
moment. Pace. We forgotten what
00:14:25.29\00:14:28.13
is an Adventist
00:14:28.13\00:14:32.33
and Adventist. You can be
anyone who believes in the
00:14:32.33\00:14:36.24
promise of God's word that
refers to Jesus coming back,
00:14:36.24\00:14:40.91
returning to get his people.
In other words, an ad minister,
00:14:40.91\00:14:43.31
someone who believes in that
promise and is looking forward
00:14:43.31\00:14:46.25
to the second ad that or the
return the soon return of Jesus
00:14:46.25\00:14:50.09
Christ.
00:14:50.09\00:14:51.25
So you can be a Baptist and be
an advent strike. We call them
00:14:51.25\00:14:55.42
that a bet of interest or
however you want to say that
00:14:55.42\00:14:59.73
you could be a Methodist
Christian and B and advocates.
00:14:59.73\00:15:02.70
We might call my thought
of interest. I don't know.
00:15:02.70\00:15:06.47
You can be you could be a
Pentecostal and believe in the
00:15:06.47\00:15:10.27
end of the imminent return of
Jesus Christ. And and we might
00:15:10.27\00:15:12.87
call you a hint of interest
or an Adventist hospital or
00:15:12.87\00:15:15.58
something. I don't know.
The point I'm getting at is
00:15:15.58\00:15:18.18
that you can be from whatever
denomination, if you believe in
00:15:18.18\00:15:20.88
the truth of God's word
pertaining to the soon return
00:15:20.88\00:15:23.69
and you're looking forward
to the soon return of Jesus.
00:15:23.69\00:15:25.85
You are an advent us
now. Let's nail this down. The
00:15:25.85\00:15:28.66
reason want to find that is
because Advent his more of the
00:15:28.66\00:15:32.09
concept of an Adventist is
universal across many different
00:15:32.09\00:15:35.16
nominations, even though we are
7 today. Add that to some that
00:15:35.16\00:15:38.33
name is very special, right to
come straight from God. We want
00:15:38.33\00:15:41.54
to be very clear that there
are other Adventist out there,
00:15:41.54\00:15:44.21
right?
00:15:44.21\00:15:45.14
And so I've
learned in my studies
00:15:45.14\00:15:49.11
that there are 4 major
Adventist groups in every
00:15:49.11\00:15:53.82
church.
00:15:53.82\00:15:55.65
We're told that there's going
to be a great shaking in the
00:16:00.82\00:16:03.96
last day is right. And what
I believe we're living. We're
00:16:03.96\00:16:06.90
seeing some effects of
that already in our church.
00:16:06.90\00:16:11.30
I don't think we've seen
the biggest affection. I think
00:16:11.30\00:16:14.30
there's an even
greater church quake coming
00:16:14.30\00:16:18.31
in which the non genuine are
going to be very quickly sifted
00:16:18.31\00:16:22.41
out from and separate from the
genuine the sheep and the goats
00:16:22.41\00:16:25.75
the week and the tears.
00:16:25.75\00:16:27.65
But I've learned that among
all the different combinations,
00:16:27.65\00:16:30.32
there's 4 different types of
that dentist. Now the one that
00:16:30.32\00:16:33.89
I want to strive to become
and by the way, everything I'm
00:16:33.89\00:16:36.49
about to say it's within the
context of the sermon that I'm
00:16:36.49\00:16:39.26
going present today. So
just stick with me for a moment.
00:16:39.26\00:16:41.50
The 4 types of admin is the
first one is the group that I
00:16:41.50\00:16:44.83
by God's grace. And I got
spirit want to strive to be.
00:16:44.83\00:16:47.30
And I hope that you also want
to strive to be. And that is
00:16:47.30\00:16:52.24
ago Adventist
00:16:52.24\00:16:53.61
[MUSIC]
00:16:53.61\00:16:56.34
ago Adventist.
00:16:56.34\00:16:58.68
Are you glad
00:16:58.68\00:17:00.58
to be an Adventist?
00:17:00.58\00:17:02.48
Are you glad to be a child of
God? Are you glad to be a child
00:17:02.48\00:17:08.29
of the word? Are you happy
about your relationship with
00:17:08.29\00:17:11.79
Jesus? Are you happy to be a
servant of the most high God,
00:17:11.79\00:17:15.76
then tell your face about
right. And the best Whitley
00:17:15.76\00:17:19.90
said, haha,
00:17:19.90\00:17:21.97
we want to be glad it is not
what I strive to be. I want to
00:17:21.97\00:17:25.17
be happy in the spirit. That's
one thing I can say. We can
00:17:25.17\00:17:27.81
learn from the Pentecostals.
We need to learn a bit more joy
00:17:27.81\00:17:31.21
in the spirit. I'm not talking
about running around gyrating,
00:17:31.21\00:17:33.88
shaken, doing cartwheels
and battling often false stories
00:17:33.88\00:17:36.69
about talking about all that.
I'm talking about being happy
00:17:36.69\00:17:39.82
and joyful and expressive in
your joy to be a child of God,
00:17:39.82\00:17:45.03
a glad benches. That's what
I want to strive to be a home.
00:17:45.03\00:17:47.76
That's what you want to strive
to be. But there's 3 of the
00:17:47.76\00:17:49.90
groups that cause
friction among the churches.
00:17:49.90\00:17:54.70
The next group
is thus Adventist.
00:17:54.70\00:17:59.11
You know who the 7 to start.
00:17:59.11\00:18:03.28
We're talking about the ones
00:18:03.28\00:18:05.28
who might pertain to the
group that Shelley just got to
00:18:05.28\00:18:07.62
speaking about in a sense.
00:18:07.62\00:18:10.35
But they're just that you never
see any joy in the face when
00:18:10.35\00:18:13.92
they come and they sing hymns,
but they're not happy about it.
00:18:13.92\00:18:16.83
I was at a church a few weeks
ago at the church. And I was
00:18:16.83\00:18:19.79
was couple of months ago,
actually, and I was preparing
00:18:19.79\00:18:22.70
to speak. I was sitting
up on the rostrum and we were
00:18:22.70\00:18:24.63
singing. Guess what
song we were seeing?
00:18:24.63\00:18:27.84
>> Is now suing
the city needs to.
00:18:27.84\00:18:32.74
>> Is good.
00:18:32.74\00:18:34.31
[MUSIC]
00:18:34.31\00:18:37.51
>> Him on that. It's the spirit.
00:18:37.51\00:18:41.68
>> Looking out.
00:18:41.68\00:18:49.42
>> We're singing about or in
the press and the spirit of the
00:18:49.42\00:18:53.09
look with a spirit
of God's presence here.
00:18:53.09\00:18:56.06
You know, the next
line of the song is
00:18:56.06\00:19:00.10
>> is soon we.
00:19:00.10\00:19:03.41
>> An expression
except that's not what I saw.
00:19:03.41\00:19:09.11
>> The soon we rendition.
00:19:09.11\00:19:13.58
>> I want to
stand up and say, yeah,
00:19:13.58\00:19:17.15
do you know what I was
saying about white goat?
00:19:17.15\00:19:20.59
>> We had a bunch of sadness to
that group that day. They need
00:19:20.59\00:19:24.09
the love and the joy, the
happiness of the Holy Spirit.
00:19:24.09\00:19:26.46
There's a 3rd check. What would
like to be able to break each
00:19:26.46\00:19:29.36
one of these down a little more
in depth but don't have enough
00:19:29.36\00:19:31.40
time. 3rd group,
everyone knows a good Adventist.
00:19:31.40\00:19:35.04
[MUSIC]
00:19:35.04\00:19:37.37
You know what I'm talking about,
00:19:37.37\00:19:40.34
you know, those ones
that always go around with a
00:19:40.34\00:19:42.38
magnifying glass
00:19:42.38\00:19:45.35
to tell you just about how
everything that is is in line
00:19:45.35\00:19:49.98
is a sin. They're
mad at the church.
00:19:49.98\00:19:54.42
>> And they're mad at the
way things are going and they're
00:19:54.42\00:19:56.99
mad at everyone around them
and they never have anything
00:19:56.99\00:20:00.00
positive to say Adventist
00:20:00.00\00:20:02.50
most of them fall into the camp
that Shelley just spoke about.
00:20:02.50\00:20:05.40
[MUSIC]
00:20:05.40\00:20:07.70
But the group I came
to talk to you about today
00:20:07.70\00:20:12.27
as a group, I like to
call the beds interest.
00:20:12.27\00:20:14.64
[MUSIC]
00:20:14.64\00:20:17.55
In fact, if I
was going to rename
00:20:17.55\00:20:19.91
the sermon
00:20:19.91\00:20:21.38
overcoming liberalism, I
would entitle it overcoming bad.
00:20:21.38\00:20:24.85
Been to some.
00:20:24.85\00:20:29.32
There's a lot of
that dentist among us
00:20:29.32\00:20:32.59
who need freedom
00:20:32.59\00:20:35.50
from this liberal mindset.
00:20:35.50\00:20:39.87
First Corinthians chapter 4
verse it. You got your Bibles.
00:20:39.87\00:20:43.41
Let's go to first Corinthian
Chapter 4 verse 6, 1, marching
00:20:43.41\00:20:46.01
through this and show you were
going to take a take a sticker
00:20:46.01\00:20:49.08
selves on a
journey through scripture
00:20:49.08\00:20:51.25
and my friends, there
were so many different as I was
00:20:51.25\00:20:53.25
preparing for the sermon.
I thought my goodness, there
00:20:53.25\00:20:55.68
was so much it was it could
have easily turned into a 10
00:20:55.68\00:20:58.95
part series
00:20:58.95\00:21:00.66
as a just a spider web effect
turned. I could have so many
00:21:00.66\00:21:03.22
different angles in ways that
I can take the sermon. But the
00:21:03.22\00:21:06.19
Lord convicted Vincent Ryan
keep it simple and preach the
00:21:06.19\00:21:10.53
word. And I thought, Brooke,
yes, Lord, it's exactly what
00:21:10.53\00:21:13.87
I'm going to do. And that's
what we're going today. First,
00:21:13.87\00:21:15.60
Corinthians chapter 4.
00:21:15.60\00:21:17.14
>> Merced. 63 there. Say a man.
Alright. Notice with the word
00:21:17.14\00:21:20.81
of God says First
Corinthians chapter 4 verse 6.
00:21:20.81\00:21:23.68
>> Now these things, brother an
00:21:23.68\00:21:26.72
I have figuratively transferred
to myself and Apollos for your
00:21:26.72\00:21:30.52
say.
00:21:30.52\00:21:31.62
>> That you may learn in
us not to think beyond what is
00:21:31.62\00:21:37.96
written.
00:21:37.96\00:21:40.50
>> But none of you
may be popped up on behalf
00:21:40.50\00:21:43.60
well of one against the other.
00:21:43.60\00:21:46.57
Well, let's just focus in on
what this Texas a great thing.
00:21:46.57\00:21:49.77
Text year. Great, great
thesis statement for this entire
00:21:49.77\00:21:53.38
presentation that you may learn
in us not to think beyond what
00:21:53.38\00:21:59.01
is written if we were going
to properly identify liberalism
00:21:59.01\00:22:02.85
with all of the information
that we were we have we have
00:22:02.85\00:22:05.59
learned so far that we've read
and that we've we've gathered,
00:22:05.59\00:22:08.56
it's simply this liberalism
can be defined in the short
00:22:08.56\00:22:11.29
sentence. It is taking the
liberties and freedoms beyond
00:22:11.29\00:22:15.33
what God's word
authorizes very simply put
00:22:15.33\00:22:21.64
when we get to the point where
we think we have the liberties
00:22:21.64\00:22:24.51
and freedoms to think
beyond what the word of God
00:22:24.51\00:22:27.54
authorizes, in other words
to think beyond what is written.
00:22:27.54\00:22:33.55
>> What did Jesus say?
00:22:33.55\00:22:37.15
What do we say to the devil
when he was being tempted to
00:22:37.15\00:22:40.52
now? It's not
written. But let me tell you,
00:22:40.52\00:22:44.79
is that what he said? It's
not in there, but this is what I
00:22:44.79\00:22:48.76
want to share with you. You
know, he said it is written.
00:22:48.76\00:22:57.07
Let's talk about
00:22:57.07\00:22:58.67
the attitude of liberalism.
00:22:58.67\00:23:02.04
>> So I did a lot of research
to try to pull this stuff
00:23:02.04\00:23:04.51
together, even though there
is so much more, I could say on
00:23:04.51\00:23:06.75
this,
00:23:06.75\00:23:07.95
it really for a liberal minded
thinker, it really doesn't come
00:23:07.95\00:23:11.92
down to one issue. In other
words, a person does not adopt
00:23:11.92\00:23:16.32
a liberal thinking mentality
based on once significant
00:23:16.32\00:23:20.50
issue. It literally is a
mindset. It's a state of mind.
00:23:20.50\00:23:24.47
It's a particular lives in
which they view scripture in
00:23:24.47\00:23:27.60
other subjects. And by the
way, this ain't many of the same
00:23:27.60\00:23:30.64
principles apply for legal
is or what we might be missed.
00:23:30.64\00:23:34.54
Ultraconservative is OK,
and I want to try to stay within
00:23:34.54\00:23:37.98
those terms as much as I can.
But at the same time, that's
00:23:37.98\00:23:40.68
what we often use to to
label someone's particular a
00:23:40.68\00:23:44.45
theological ideas or mindset
pertained to how they see your
00:23:44.45\00:23:47.82
view, the scripture. We have
our our our Conservatives and
00:23:47.82\00:23:51.89
we have are liberals and that's
how we view people. And you
00:23:51.89\00:23:54.56
know what, on either side,
there's many people that are
00:23:54.56\00:23:57.00
proud to be labeled that line
the conservative and they're
00:23:57.00\00:24:00.34
fine with that in little on the
liberal and unhappy with that.
00:24:00.34\00:24:03.20
At the end of the day, my
friends, I don't necessarily
00:24:03.20\00:24:05.27
want to be labeled as a
conservative or liberal.
00:24:05.27\00:24:07.91
I want to be labeled as the
Bible Christian because as a
00:24:07.91\00:24:11.88
Christian, the root word being
priced. I want to be a true
00:24:11.88\00:24:14.98
genuine follower of Jesus
Christ not want to find my
00:24:14.98\00:24:17.95
beliefs and everything that I
represent to be in line and in
00:24:17.95\00:24:21.89
harmony with the word of God.
We know how you decide to label
00:24:21.89\00:24:25.93
me. That's up to you. But I
want to be a Bible Christian
00:24:25.93\00:24:29.16
end of summer into the story.
00:24:29.16\00:24:31.43
But a little mind to
think or it's a state of mind to
00:24:31.43\00:24:34.30
particular limbs that they look
through and how they see your
00:24:34.30\00:24:38.14
view things or interpret
things. For instance, a liberal
00:24:38.14\00:24:41.11
think I say, you know
what, I'm the word of God is not
00:24:41.11\00:24:44.98
necessarily the only a 40 foot.
00:24:44.98\00:24:48.68
Yes, it's a great book. And I
read it. My study done on Jesus
00:24:48.68\00:24:51.99
was a great person and Jesus
toss some great things. And but
00:24:51.99\00:24:55.12
you know of there's some great
aspects of the Koran as well.
00:24:55.12\00:24:59.63
If you've studied Buddhism
there, some great pervert,
00:24:59.63\00:25:02.36
proverbs and and the Buddhist
belief or the Hindu a stick
00:25:02.36\00:25:05.57
structure. And so the idea is,
you know, there might be other
00:25:05.57\00:25:08.64
books, other writings out there
that also we can glean and we
00:25:08.64\00:25:11.67
can learn from
00:25:11.67\00:25:15.01
the Bible Authority is
not the only authority.
00:25:15.01\00:25:19.28
Here's here's one that
here's here's what we're talking
00:25:19.28\00:25:21.18
about. The attitude of
liberalism, if the Bible
00:25:21.18\00:25:23.25
doesn't say not to
do it, but it's OK,
00:25:23.25\00:25:27.02
you know, you run into someone
like this. Well, hey, brother,
00:25:27.02\00:25:29.56
look at the Bible.
Doesn't say I can't do it
00:25:29.56\00:25:32.66
so because it doesn't say I
shouldn't. Then you know that
00:25:32.66\00:25:35.36
it's OK, the Bible doesn't talk
about smoking weed. Such should
00:25:35.36\00:25:38.13
be okay, right?
00:25:38.13\00:25:40.90
The news people to think like
this or or or because the Bible
00:25:40.90\00:25:45.41
doesn't say to do
it, then I don't have to.
00:25:45.41\00:25:49.71
Here's another one.
00:25:53.42\00:25:54.92
God's grace doesn't
demand exacting obedience.
00:25:54.92\00:25:57.89
[MUSIC]
00:25:57.89\00:26:01.22
>> The spirit of the law
versus the letter of the law.
00:26:01.22\00:26:04.29
Well, Ryan, we hear what you're
saying about the commandments
00:26:04.29\00:26:07.10
and hear what you're
saying about these other general
00:26:07.10\00:26:08.73
principles of Christianity.
But you know what? We really
00:26:08.73\00:26:11.17
can't keep all of that,
00:26:11.17\00:26:13.64
you know, God and saved by
grace through faith, not by
00:26:13.64\00:26:16.40
works. So the idea is that I
can't keep the commandments so
00:26:16.40\00:26:20.58
because I can't keep the
Commandments within God's not
00:26:20.58\00:26:23.31
going to hold that against me.
If I occasionally continue to
00:26:23.31\00:26:26.21
fall and soon, you know, his
grace and just overwhelms that
00:26:26.21\00:26:30.82
Sen.
00:26:30.82\00:26:32.15
In other words, Wisconsin is
I keep sending. God just keeps
00:26:32.15\00:26:34.96
pouring on his grace. It's
a manipulation of the latter
00:26:34.96\00:26:37.63
versus of Romans. 5
00:26:37.63\00:26:40.10
in a liberal mindset.
00:26:44.60\00:26:47.30
There are very few essential Ys
00:26:47.30\00:26:50.41
when it comes to living as
a Christian. In other words,
00:26:50.41\00:26:53.84
very few essentials. All
you got to do is just believe in
00:26:53.84\00:26:56.31
Jesus.
00:26:56.31\00:26:57.45
>> That's also why do you
legal is keep putting all these
00:26:57.45\00:27:00.05
commandments in all this?
Well, the stuff, you know,
00:27:00.05\00:27:02.48
these dietary recommendations
and why do you talk about
00:27:02.48\00:27:05.69
keeping the Sabbath? And this
is not certain hours of the day
00:27:05.69\00:27:08.42
and what day it is. What does
it matter if it's this there
00:27:08.42\00:27:10.66
that day or whatever, just
keep a 7th. In other words is
00:27:10.66\00:27:13.40
there's very few essentials.
Don't put all of your your
00:27:13.40\00:27:16.46
rules and regulations just
simply love all of you and be
00:27:16.46\00:27:20.37
loved. It just received
the grace and mercy in love and
00:27:20.37\00:27:24.91
believe in Jesus. That's
that simply it's those those few
00:27:24.91\00:27:27.91
essentials right there,
00:27:27.91\00:27:29.91
John. 3.16,
00:27:29.91\00:27:31.88
that's it. That's all we need.
According to a liberal might.
00:27:31.88\00:27:38.35
Here's another one.
00:27:38.35\00:27:39.59
The end, the end
justifies the means.
00:27:39.59\00:27:43.26
>> Oh, oh, oh.
00:27:43.26\00:27:46.43
>> You know, it's interesting
when you know, you just,
00:27:46.43\00:27:48.06
you know, you starting to
to really preach and metal.
00:27:48.06\00:27:50.60
One people are silent.
00:27:50.60\00:27:54.47
>> I can feel the tension in
the room, everybody just like
00:27:54.47\00:27:56.87
what you will see next.
00:27:56.87\00:27:59.31
The end justifies the means.
In other words, you know what,
00:27:59.31\00:28:02.78
whatever we got it, we our
goal is to win people to Christ,
00:28:02.78\00:28:06.01
right. Our goal is to win
people jurors when people to
00:28:06.01\00:28:08.45
Christ and so by whatever means
necessary that we need to do to
00:28:08.45\00:28:13.59
adopt to get that person in,
you know, the end justifies the
00:28:13.59\00:28:17.36
means. In other words, if that
if we're trying to obtain that
00:28:17.36\00:28:20.66
good thing over there than
whatever we've got to do along
00:28:20.66\00:28:23.30
the way to to obtain that good
thing. Well, that's what we're
00:28:23.30\00:28:26.23
more capable and allowed to do
that. We have the freedoms and
00:28:26.23\00:28:29.27
the liberties to do that.
And therefore, because that
00:28:29.27\00:28:32.17
anything is good, what we're
obtaining than what we're doing
00:28:32.17\00:28:34.74
to obtain, that also must be
good. If we've got to put on a
00:28:34.74\00:28:39.71
circus to bring people to Jesus
than so be it. We've got to
00:28:39.71\00:28:43.82
have a rock concert that brings
people to Jesus, then so be it.
00:28:43.82\00:28:47.29
If we've got to have across the
smaller, a catfish, try to get
00:28:47.29\00:28:50.36
people in to come to church.
And, you know, that's perfectly
00:28:50.36\00:28:53.03
fine. If I've got to
take someone out to eat on the
00:28:53.03\00:28:55.63
Sabbath, to get the man to
bring them to Jesus and my son,
00:28:55.63\00:28:59.53
you guys say these anyhow,
here's some of you. But you
00:28:59.53\00:29:04.24
know what? There's people in
absenteeism with these beliefs.
00:29:04.24\00:29:09.04
I just heard the other day
00:29:09.04\00:29:12.58
my brother was telling a story
about someone that he knew from
00:29:12.58\00:29:15.12
his previous after class that
attended a particular has been
00:29:15.12\00:29:17.69
a church where he's he said
rather little. My pastor stood
00:29:17.69\00:29:21.06
up in church and said,
hey, guys, go enjoy the sound of
00:29:21.06\00:29:24.19
good grub, a bite to eat
enough. You'll bring your
00:29:24.19\00:29:26.19
receipts back over to
a refund you the money.
00:29:26.19\00:29:29.43
[MUSIC]
00:29:29.43\00:29:34.44
[MUSIC]
00:29:34.44\00:29:35.87
Here's another one.
True is progressive.
00:29:35.87\00:29:40.78
It's relative to its objective.
00:29:40.78\00:29:44.71
You have your truth. I have
my truth. Don't push your truth.
00:29:44.71\00:29:48.68
And in a bit,
00:29:48.68\00:29:50.42
let me be free.
00:29:50.42\00:29:52.72
>> To work out my salvation
by myself having to have some
00:29:52.72\00:29:56.46
interesting how people use the
word of God to manipulate their
00:29:56.46\00:29:58.73
own beliefs. They're on their
own ways. Everyone needs to
00:29:58.73\00:30:01.56
work out their own
salvation. Well, that's true.
00:30:01.56\00:30:04.93
But yet when a person within
the church is practicing open
00:30:04.93\00:30:07.80
Sen
00:30:07.80\00:30:09.34
and causing the
stumbling block upon others,
00:30:09.34\00:30:12.14
we have a
responsibility in a loving way.
00:30:12.14\00:30:15.64
It's a brother, a sister.
00:30:15.64\00:30:18.95
We love you.
00:30:18.95\00:30:20.05
We've got to
00:30:20.05\00:30:21.35
top.
00:30:21.35\00:30:24.15
>> True to it and a liberal.
My truth is progressive.
00:30:24.15\00:30:28.06
It's relatively got him in
a written liberal minds that
00:30:28.06\00:30:30.69
we've got a monitor. Nice
if it. And let me tell you
00:30:30.69\00:30:33.86
something. I'm I'm a young
not and I love working with our
00:30:33.86\00:30:36.63
youth and on all about using
tactics and methods that are
00:30:36.63\00:30:41.34
appropriate and even modern
to reach out to to our young
00:30:41.34\00:30:45.34
people. As long as that does not
00:30:45.34\00:30:48.71
violate the principles of
God's word. As long as we're not
00:30:48.71\00:30:51.71
compromising the truth of God's
word, I'm all about using new
00:30:51.71\00:30:54.58
methods and new tactics and
creative tactics in order to
00:30:54.58\00:30:58.05
properly evangelize improperly
share Jesus with others.
00:30:58.05\00:31:01.26
I'm not against modernizing
things as long as we keep them
00:31:01.26\00:31:04.29
within the confines within
the confines of the word of God.
00:31:04.29\00:31:07.30
But yet the liberal minded
person, a liberal think it
00:31:07.30\00:31:09.86
would say truth is progressive
its relative. You've got your
00:31:09.86\00:31:12.77
truth. I've got my truth and
all all that stuff that mom and
00:31:12.77\00:31:16.44
daddy and grandma and grandpa
believe that's all outdated.
00:31:16.44\00:31:20.68
>> Yeah, it's outdated beliefs.
It's it's it's in fact, it will
00:31:20.68\00:31:27.95
lead them to think eventually
00:31:27.95\00:31:30.52
that the Bible
00:31:30.52\00:31:32.59
is all old.
00:31:32.59\00:31:35.46
>> It's just it's just so
00:31:35.46\00:31:39.59
it's just so 67 BC.
00:31:39.59\00:31:45.03
[MUSIC]
00:31:45.03\00:31:50.04
[MUSIC]
00:31:50.04\00:31:53.41
>> When it breaks my heart,
when I'm trying my best to
00:31:53.41\00:31:56.21
generally share
00:31:56.21\00:31:58.15
the truthful principles
of God word which by the way.
00:31:58.15\00:32:00.95
>> Never changes God's word.
Never change. It got doesn't
00:32:00.95\00:32:05.12
change. His were never changes.
And so in a loving, creative
00:32:05.12\00:32:08.69
way out, try to reach out to
some people. But yet to receive
00:32:08.69\00:32:11.79
feedback. I'm with you
what it's just you know.
00:32:11.79\00:32:14.60
>> It's so old.
00:32:14.60\00:32:17.10
>> This what my grandma,
really, you know where we live
00:32:17.10\00:32:21.14
in the 21st
century, too. You know?
00:32:21.14\00:32:25.31
So the idea is to compromise
these truth to dress, do the
00:32:25.31\00:32:29.11
gradually drift away from
them to modernize things so that
00:32:29.11\00:32:33.01
Christianity appears
popular with the world.
00:32:33.01\00:32:40.49
>> My friends, I want to I want
to be balanced here. Some of
00:32:40.49\00:32:43.63
us. We don't have to compromise
the word of God to step up a
00:32:43.63\00:32:48.23
little.
00:32:48.23\00:32:49.36
>> And I would say some of
us probably need to leave 18 50
00:32:49.36\00:32:53.97
behind. Okay. I'm just
being honest here. Some of us
00:32:53.97\00:32:57.94
probably need to leave 18 50
behind with obviously without
00:32:57.94\00:33:03.04
compromising God's
truth. And his word,
00:33:03.04\00:33:05.95
you know, what's very popular
among liberal minded thinkers.
00:33:05.95\00:33:08.78
And by the way,
00:33:08.78\00:33:10.02
even alter conservative
Christians have this is well,
00:33:10.02\00:33:13.42
did you know they have
their own version of the Bible
00:33:13.42\00:33:17.53
just about every one of us does.
00:33:17.53\00:33:19.73
He didn't know about it. Did you
00:33:19.73\00:33:22.76
the it's the S RV,
00:33:22.76\00:33:25.80
the self revised version.
00:33:29.00\00:33:31.21
[MUSIC]
00:33:31.21\00:33:34.01
You know what makes the srb
special? Do you know seeing the
00:33:34.01\00:33:37.21
original Bible there? 66 books,
00:33:37.21\00:33:39.91
but in the S RV, which by the
way, most people have a copy of
00:33:39.91\00:33:43.22
and they go there frequently.
It has 2 extra added books that
00:33:43.22\00:33:46.92
they like to spend quite a bit
of time in especially liberal
00:33:46.92\00:33:49.62
minded thinker. And that's
the books, the first and second
00:33:49.62\00:33:52.09
opinions.
00:33:52.09\00:33:56.23
That's why when I hear a
brother-sister say, well,
00:33:56.23\00:33:58.87
you know, this is what I
believe in. This is what I
00:33:58.87\00:34:01.40
believe Christianity to be.
And I know for a fact that's
00:34:01.40\00:34:03.44
not expressed in the Bible and
say we must the ball that went
00:34:03.44\00:34:06.24
from first to second opinion
because I'm a lottery that
00:34:06.24\00:34:08.38
anywhere and my Bible,
00:34:08.38\00:34:10.75
I'm just saying not trying to
be disrespectful. I'm saying at
00:34:10.75\00:34:13.48
the end of the day, my friends
we have to stick to of thus
00:34:13.48\00:34:16.89
saith the Lord and this truth
is trans generational. Yeah,
00:34:16.89\00:34:22.36
it is. It has. It has stood the
test of time got never changes.
00:34:22.36\00:34:28.03
His word never changes. And
we must also adopt the fact that
00:34:28.03\00:34:31.67
yes, while we live in a modern
world and we don't have to live
00:34:31.67\00:34:34.57
in 18, 50 or 1950, by
some particulars, the terms we
00:34:34.57\00:34:38.97
certainly need to also
make sure that our life is in
00:34:38.97\00:34:41.94
harmony with God's word which
never changes. Let's talk about
00:34:41.94\00:34:45.25
the scent of liberalism for
just a moment to give you some
00:34:45.25\00:34:47.35
biblical examples because
we think that liberalism is a
00:34:47.35\00:34:50.39
modern think oftentimes we
think will, you know, you know,
00:34:50.39\00:34:54.32
we'll use examples. I will,
you know, back in and, you know,
00:34:54.32\00:34:57.29
in the 50's when I was
growing up, that never happened.
00:34:57.29\00:34:59.73
And so the idea is will we were
we were accordance to the word
00:34:59.73\00:35:02.90
of God. We were conservative.
Now these people are really
00:35:02.90\00:35:05.60
liberal. So liberalism seems to
be a many people's mind modern
00:35:05.60\00:35:09.30
thing, a new
thing. But really it's not
00:35:09.30\00:35:13.44
kind of give you some
biblical examples of liberalism.
00:35:13.44\00:35:16.61
Cain was a liberal thinker.
00:35:21.28\00:35:24.82
Got his word was what
00:35:24.82\00:35:27.29
Kane able bring me this
particular offering. This is
00:35:27.29\00:35:31.83
how want you to worship me
what it can do. We all knew,
00:35:31.83\00:35:38.77
but
00:35:38.77\00:35:41.30
he put liberties and freedoms
beyond what the word of God
00:35:41.30\00:35:44.64
authorized to.
00:35:44.64\00:35:46.64
What about data
by the sons of error
00:35:46.64\00:35:50.41
with some liberal brothers.
00:35:50.41\00:35:53.98
But it does tend to read
the story. What do they do?
00:35:53.98\00:36:00.09
You know, their their idea was,
you know, God didn't say that
00:36:00.09\00:36:03.73
we couldn't bring our own fight
00:36:03.73\00:36:05.53
[MUSIC]
00:36:05.53\00:36:07.76
when people use this all the
time, especially when it comes
00:36:07.76\00:36:09.93
to worship.
00:36:09.93\00:36:11.30
Well, you know, the Bible
doesn't specifically say that
00:36:11.30\00:36:13.74
we can't. And so we must be
able to that was made evident
00:36:13.74\00:36:17.97
by whose standards? Well,
because God didn't necessarily
00:36:17.97\00:36:20.91
say we couldn't. You know what,
we've got this special kind of
00:36:20.91\00:36:23.91
fire that we want to use it.
So the Bible says they brought
00:36:23.91\00:36:26.11
in strange fire before the
Lord and what happened to that
00:36:26.11\00:36:28.68
liberal moment that they had,
what it cost them their lives.
00:36:28.68\00:36:33.79
What about number 16? We made 3
people by the name of Korra Day
00:36:33.79\00:36:37.26
Fund and the bureau.
00:36:37.26\00:36:39.79
Remember those brothers
and sisters? Yeah. They came to
00:36:39.79\00:36:42.53
Moses and their way.
00:36:42.53\00:36:44.73
Who do you think you only
00:36:44.73\00:36:47.14
what? He's got only speak to
use a certainly God speaks to
00:36:47.14\00:36:50.44
us to, you know, they were
you really distraught that, you
00:36:50.44\00:36:52.61
know, got Moses was getting
all the attention. And so, you
00:36:52.61\00:36:55.38
know, you know, they were
trying to take liberties and
00:36:55.38\00:36:57.15
freedoms beyond what God told
them to do and what happened to
00:36:57.15\00:36:59.95
them. Remember the story
00:36:59.95\00:37:02.08
hot opened up the
ground and it's one of them,
00:37:02.08\00:37:08.36
you know, if that
happened more often these days.

[MUSIC]
00:37:15.90\00:37:19.97
Well, I'm gonna give you
one. Sometimes we may. You know,
00:37:19.97\00:37:22.90
here's the thing. Some
of y'all conservatives have.
00:37:22.90\00:37:27.28
>> Liberal moments like I'm
going to see a name here and
00:37:27.28\00:37:31.98
you would never associated
with a liberal thinker. Moses.
00:37:31.98\00:37:40.32
What's most is a liberal.
00:37:40.32\00:37:43.96
He would have labeled him that.
00:37:43.96\00:37:45.89
The Bible says he was the
most humble man of his time.
00:37:45.89\00:37:50.27
But yet Moses had a
liberal moment, too.
00:37:50.27\00:37:53.17
>> You see you can be you could
you could have it. You know,
00:37:53.17\00:37:56.27
she tracked down tight
00:37:56.27\00:37:59.17
and have a liberal mold.
00:37:59.17\00:38:01.28
And Moses had one of those
we read about in numbers 20
00:38:01.28\00:38:05.78
got is a Moses. You know, most
people out there, there's no
00:38:05.78\00:38:09.22
water or the first to death.
Gotta look, Moses speak to that
00:38:09.22\00:38:12.72
rocking telling to to bring
forth water. Moses was so angry
00:38:12.72\00:38:16.12
with these other people who
are doubting God's word and out.
00:38:16.12\00:38:19.09
He had just had that up with
it. He took the staff and what
00:38:19.09\00:38:21.80
did he do? What a lot.
00:38:21.80\00:38:25.27
He had a liberal moment.
He took liberties and freedoms
00:38:25.27\00:38:27.40
beyond what
God's word authorized.
00:38:27.40\00:38:31.97
>> Here's another one to
make. This one fits. The bill is
00:38:31.97\00:38:34.98
real.
00:38:34.98\00:38:36.38
[MUSIC]
00:38:36.38\00:38:38.25
You say which Israel?
00:38:38.25\00:38:40.58
[MUSIC]
00:38:40.58\00:38:43.12
>> In Samuel you to
simulate verse new chapter 8
00:38:43.12\00:38:47.56
up to that point. God was 13.
He was their leader. But these
00:38:47.56\00:38:52.56
brothers and sisters come
to the prophet went into that.
00:38:52.56\00:38:55.40
We do not working
anymore. We want to win.
00:38:55.40\00:38:58.77
We don't want God to lead
a city where we know we don't
00:38:58.77\00:39:00.90
want any will judge it. We
just want we just want a man to
00:39:00.90\00:39:03.41
judge over us and we are keen.
And so, you know, Santa was
00:39:03.41\00:39:07.08
distraught. He goes back
to what I do know that we're
00:39:07.08\00:39:09.41
looking at. They're
not rejecting you. They're
00:39:09.41\00:39:10.95
rejecting me. He says that go
back and want to let them know
00:39:10.95\00:39:14.22
that them that what
they're doing. It's not my plan.
00:39:14.22\00:39:17.19
It's not my will. Because
what's about to happen is if
00:39:17.19\00:39:19.69
they have a king over them,
he's going to take their sons
00:39:19.69\00:39:22.56
from them.
00:39:22.56\00:39:24.06
He's going to take their
daughters from them. He's going
00:39:24.06\00:39:26.49
to steal their land, is
going to forcefully take the
00:39:26.49\00:39:29.13
resources and their cattle and
all their goods and he's going
00:39:29.13\00:39:31.77
to tax the mess out of them.
00:39:31.77\00:39:33.77
Are you sure that's what you
want. He takes the report back.
00:39:33.77\00:39:36.37
The people still say we'd
rather have rather than God.
00:39:36.37\00:39:41.21
>> They had a
liberal moment. The cost
00:39:41.21\00:39:46.82
did David have
any liberal moment?
00:39:46.82\00:39:51.35
We'll just leave
that right there.
00:39:51.35\00:39:55.52
>> Here's one. What about
Solomon? Haha. This all would
00:39:55.52\00:39:59.79
have any live. He
had about 100 right 1000.
00:39:59.79\00:40:03.73
There you go.
00:40:03.73\00:40:06.47
But I'm going to give you
probably an example of some of
00:40:06.47\00:40:10.41
the biggest liberals that
you never would imagine. Are you
00:40:10.41\00:40:13.38
ready for this one? Are
you ready for this one? The
00:40:13.38\00:40:16.04
pharisees
00:40:16.04\00:40:18.05
somebody ought to what he
Farah season from conservative
00:40:21.38\00:40:27.12
brothers
00:40:27.12\00:40:29.66
with the pharisees
00:40:29.66\00:40:31.56
with a legal mistake. They were
illegal estate. They were legal
00:40:31.56\00:40:35.86
estate. Really legalism is
not good any but they were legal
00:40:35.86\00:40:38.40
listing for the wrong things.
They weren't legal listed for
00:40:38.40\00:40:41.50
the law of God.
00:40:41.50\00:40:43.30
They really listen for their
own traditional manmade laws
00:40:43.30\00:40:45.97
that they push. And that's why
when you get to Matthew Chapter
00:40:45.97\00:40:49.41
15 where Jesus say to them.
00:40:49.41\00:40:52.18
>> He said he said, you honor
me with your lips. Put you off.
00:40:52.18\00:40:56.55
Hart is far from even a
Matthew. 23 says you're like
00:40:56.55\00:41:00.66
white watch tools.
00:41:00.66\00:41:02.22
>> You look all nice,
fine. And and the only outside.
00:41:02.22\00:41:05.06
But inside you, a valley of
dry bones. And why was that?
00:41:05.06\00:41:08.46
He said all too well.
00:41:08.46\00:41:11.13
You push your tradition of men,
00:41:11.13\00:41:14.10
you put, you kill you keep your
tradition of men who uphold the
00:41:14.10\00:41:17.07
tradition of man but
full. Well, you reject the
00:41:17.07\00:41:20.31
commandment of the Lord.
00:41:20.31\00:41:24.78
>> Because they took liberties
and freedoms they misuse and
00:41:24.78\00:41:27.85
abuse of authority and
that led them to disobey God.
00:41:27.85\00:41:32.35
>> Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse
to we've read it many times.
00:41:32.35\00:41:36.29
Let me remind you what the
Bible says. My friends, you
00:41:36.29\00:41:39.16
shall not add to the
word which I commanded you
00:41:39.16\00:41:44.40
nor take from it
00:41:44.40\00:41:46.17
that you may keep the
commandments of the Lord,
00:41:46.17\00:41:48.34
your God, which I commanded you
00:41:48.34\00:41:52.81
do we have the right in
the authority to think beyond.
00:41:52.81\00:41:57.35
Here's another one. You'll hear
some Christians say just think
00:41:57.35\00:42:00.78
outside the box.
00:42:00.78\00:42:03.18
And you know, that in and of
itself is not necessarily a bad
00:42:03.18\00:42:05.99
thing. I'm certainly not saying
we shouldn't be thinkers and
00:42:05.99\00:42:08.49
then we shouldn't, you know,
try to expand our knowledge and
00:42:08.49\00:42:11.73
understanding of God's will and
God's plan. But when you start
00:42:11.73\00:42:14.96
thinking outside the box,
make sure that that boxes really
00:42:14.96\00:42:18.27
closely tied to the world of dot
00:42:18.27\00:42:20.80
because what often happens is
when we start thinking outside
00:42:20.80\00:42:23.61
the box, it leads us to
think beyond the word and
00:42:23.61\00:42:28.78
for the nation chapter, 22
versus 18 to 19 Frey testify to
00:42:28.78\00:42:32.28
everyone who hears the words
of the prophecy of this book.
00:42:32.28\00:42:34.95
If anyone has to these things,
God will add to him the plagues
00:42:34.95\00:42:38.35
that are written in this book.
00:42:38.35\00:42:39.95
>> And if anyone takes away
the word from the words of this
00:42:39.95\00:42:42.49
book at this prophecy got shall
take away his part from the
00:42:42.49\00:42:45.69
book of Life, from the Holy
City and from the things which
00:42:45.69\00:42:49.13
are written in this book,
My Friends, this is a life or
00:42:49.13\00:42:51.47
death situation. This is a
very, very important subject.
00:42:51.47\00:42:55.00
And we need to really, really
00:42:55.00\00:42:56.97
hone in on this and
make sure we understand it
00:42:56.97\00:43:01.21
because I'm all about freedoms.
00:43:01.21\00:43:04.28
Praise God. We live in a nation
where we can think freely speak
00:43:04.28\00:43:07.85
freely worship freely.
He's got at least for now.
00:43:07.85\00:43:12.09
We praise God for that.
00:43:12.09\00:43:14.29
>> I'm all about some freedoms.
You know, we serve a God of
00:43:14.29\00:43:17.13
freedom. He wants
to grant us freedoms.
00:43:17.13\00:43:23.20
But when we abuse
00:43:23.20\00:43:25.83
that freedom,
00:43:25.83\00:43:27.47
in fact, a servant of the Lord
uses the words pertaining to
00:43:27.47\00:43:30.21
Satan.
00:43:30.21\00:43:32.14
Lucifer,
00:43:32.14\00:43:33.38
the first chapter of patriarchs
and prophets. He said he
00:43:33.38\00:43:36.01
preferred ID the freedom it
was granted to him. You see when
00:43:36.01\00:43:41.22
you provoke that freedom and
you start thinking beyond the
00:43:41.22\00:43:44.65
take liberties and freedoms
beyond on God's will and God's
00:43:44.65\00:43:48.59
plan for your
life. Will God let you?
00:43:48.59\00:43:51.66
Yes, because he loves
you. God is love and true. Love
00:43:51.66\00:43:55.20
requires freedom of will.
00:43:55.20\00:44:00.20
But the Bible makes it very
clear that God's will. His word
00:44:00.20\00:44:04.31
change is not.
00:44:04.31\00:44:08.14
That's why today
00:44:08.14\00:44:11.91
as we heard this morning, you
can't talk about certain things
00:44:11.91\00:44:15.62
without feeling like you're
going to be mauled by a wild
00:44:15.62\00:44:18.89
bear
00:44:18.89\00:44:25.26
because we live in a day
and age when you speak truth
00:44:25.26\00:44:30.00
from the word of God,
00:44:30.00\00:44:32.07
life principles from the word
of God, it's backwards from the
00:44:32.07\00:44:35.64
culture we live in. And
therefore that leads it bleeds.
00:44:35.64\00:44:39.11
It leads for every single
person to make a decision in
00:44:39.11\00:44:41.31
their mind.
00:44:41.31\00:44:42.74
If you get a they're going
to make the decisions they will.
00:44:42.74\00:44:45.35
I want to be able to live in
a society and not feel like a
00:44:45.35\00:44:47.88
complete w*****. So then that
leads people to take on those
00:44:47.88\00:44:52.52
freedoms and those liberties to
think beyond the word of God or
00:44:52.52\00:44:55.92
to find loopholes. We
love the some loopholes
00:44:55.92\00:45:00.26
and that's what
gets us in trouble,
00:45:00.26\00:45:03.57
taking liberties and freedoms
beyond with the word of cut off
00:45:03.57\00:45:06.13
arises. So let's talk about
over coming liberalism. We can
00:45:06.13\00:45:11.01
identify. We talked about it.
We talked about the attitude of
00:45:11.01\00:45:14.08
liberalism. We've talked
about the sin of liberalism, but
00:45:14.08\00:45:16.64
let's talk about
00:45:16.64\00:45:18.78
how we overcome it
00:45:18.78\00:45:21.58
because that's the
title of the message.
00:45:21.58\00:45:25.05
Would you like me
to give you one word
00:45:25.05\00:45:28.49
as the answer to overcome that?
00:45:28.49\00:45:32.16
>> Some of your like, yes,
please. And then praying in
00:45:32.16\00:45:34.13
this
00:45:34.13\00:45:37.07
one word. Here it is.
00:45:37.07\00:45:39.33
And by the way, the supplies
for the other side as well.
00:45:39.33\00:45:42.50

00:46:10.93\00:46:15.34
to be equal with God, but made
himself of no reputation taking
00:46:15.34\00:46:19.11
the form of the Bonn servant
and coming in the likeness of
00:46:19.11\00:46:22.21
men and being found in the
in appearance as a man noticed
00:46:22.21\00:46:26.08
this, he home bold himself
00:46:26.08\00:46:31.59
and became
00:46:31.59\00:46:34.26
free to do what he wants.
00:46:34.26\00:46:37.53
>> Zoetis as
00:46:37.53\00:46:41.06
it says he humbled himself and
became obedient to the point of
00:46:41.06\00:46:46.43
death. Even the death of the
cross. Do you did you know that
00:46:46.43\00:46:50.64
not even Jesus himself
00:46:50.64\00:46:53.64
could speak on
his own authority?
00:46:53.64\00:46:56.48
>> You would say that of
all the people in the cosmos
00:46:56.48\00:47:01.15
that had the right to I think
the honor to or to act beyond
00:47:01.15\00:47:06.02
on his own liberty and freedom,
it would be the son of dot
00:47:06.02\00:47:10.69
the king of the universe.
00:47:10.69\00:47:12.96
>> But Jesus, as in John
Chapter 4, he says mine meet my
00:47:12.96\00:47:16.73
food is to do the will of him
who sent me and to finish his
00:47:16.73\00:47:21.30
work.
00:47:21.30\00:47:22.67
>> But then in John Chapter
12 verse 49 to 56 for I have not
00:47:22.67\00:47:26.41
spoken on my own authority,
00:47:26.41\00:47:30.65
but the father who sent me gave
me a command, what I should say
00:47:30.65\00:47:34.48
and what I should speak.
And I know that his command is
00:47:34.48\00:47:37.42
everlasting life. Therefore,
whatever I speak, just as the
00:47:37.42\00:47:40.72
father has told me, so I
speak some of us need to learn
00:47:40.72\00:47:46.19
some of us need to take this
scripture and put it on a frame
00:47:46.19\00:47:50.67
in our house, make multiple
copies, put it in every room
00:47:50.67\00:47:54.84
and remind ourselves.
00:47:54.84\00:47:56.47
>> But when we think we have
reached a point where we need
00:47:56.47\00:47:59.11
to take the liberties and
freedoms to think outside the
00:47:59.11\00:48:02.11
box or to misinterpret or
interpret a particular text or
00:48:02.11\00:48:05.38
a particular principal or
something, you know, to fit our
00:48:05.38\00:48:08.08
own personal agenda, just
remember that not even the king
00:48:08.08\00:48:11.09
of the universe would speak
on his own authority and he was
00:48:11.09\00:48:14.56
humble enough
00:48:14.56\00:48:17.46
to take
00:48:17.46\00:48:18.76
his father's
command seriously team
00:48:18.76\00:48:22.93
as Jesus, our example.
00:48:22.93\00:48:27.00
So here we go going to give you
5 really quick ways to overcome
00:48:27.00\00:48:32.11
liberalism and all of this
is under the banner of what was
00:48:32.11\00:48:34.94
that one word I shared with
you humility. Okay. Now some of
00:48:34.94\00:48:39.25
these may seem very elementary
is saying they were just like
00:48:39.25\00:48:42.18
you got to do that is and yeah,
we know we know we should do
00:48:42.18\00:48:45.09
this. But, you know, it's
interesting that we know these
00:48:45.09\00:48:47.62
things, but oftentimes we
don't take them seriously.
00:48:47.62\00:48:51.29
Remember everything about
the shares under the banner of
00:48:51.29\00:48:53.50
Humility Christ Homewood
himself. Christ is our example.
00:48:53.50\00:48:58.20
And if you're going to overcome
legalism, if you're going to
00:48:58.20\00:49:00.70
overcome liberalism or any
other kind of is that's not in
00:49:00.70\00:49:04.54
accordance with God's word.
The first step is for you to
00:49:04.54\00:49:07.48
humble yourself.
00:49:07.48\00:49:11.31
Number one,
00:49:11.31\00:49:12.55
humble yourself to pray.
00:49:12.55\00:49:16.72
You don't have
00:49:16.72\00:49:19.35
the streets
00:49:19.35\00:49:21.22
and the ability to continue on
in your own women in your power
00:49:21.22\00:49:24.99
to overcome anything. That's
wind Second chronicles chapter
00:49:24.99\00:49:28.76
7 verse 14. It's as if
00:49:28.76\00:49:32.60
my people who are called by my
name will handle themselves and
00:49:32.60\00:49:38.14
pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways. Then I
00:49:38.14\00:49:41.71
will hear from heaven and I
will forgive their sin and heal
00:49:41.71\00:49:44.98
their land. You know, Seaver
step is that we have to humble
00:49:44.98\00:49:48.05
ourselves to pray.
00:49:48.05\00:49:49.18
>> We have to appear before
dawn humbly say, Lord, I don't
00:49:49.18\00:49:52.29
have this figured out.
00:49:52.29\00:49:54.06
I thought I did. I sometimes
think that I'm smart enough.
00:49:54.06\00:49:57.46
Intelligent
enough to get through.
00:49:57.46\00:49:59.19
>> On my own will on my
own ideas on my own perception.
00:49:59.19\00:50:02.50
Is that more apparent,
Leon, not bother. Please
00:50:02.50\00:50:07.64
give me the strength and
give me the intelligence to pray
00:50:07.64\00:50:11.34
what it is that I need to pray
for you to do your work in me
00:50:11.34\00:50:14.91
to bring the in harmony
with your will humble yourself.
00:50:14.91\00:50:18.15
Dupre number 2.
00:50:18.15\00:50:20.38
Pray for humility
00:50:20.38\00:50:25.29
for humanity. I love someone.
39 verse. 23. 24 what is David
00:50:25.29\00:50:29.32
say?
00:50:29.32\00:50:30.63
>> Search me o God and know
my heart. Try me and know my
00:50:30.63\00:50:34.00
anxieties and see if there was
any wicked way in me and leave
00:50:34.00\00:50:38.17
me in the way all of
everlasting righteousness,
00:50:38.17\00:50:41.57
search meal to see some of
us need to play that for more
00:50:41.57\00:50:44.31
often.
00:50:44.31\00:50:46.31
>> Missy, we do pray because
we don't think there's any thing
00:50:46.31\00:50:49.14
in us that needs to be searched
and some of us don't pray it
00:50:49.14\00:50:54.02
because we're scared. They
got all show us exactly what we
00:50:54.02\00:50:57.02
don't want to see.
00:50:57.02\00:51:00.99
>> Search me
00:51:00.99\00:51:05.06
make me humble.
00:51:05.06\00:51:07.40
Here's the Piers. A
hard prayer Lord. Humble me.
00:51:07.40\00:51:11.00
Number 3,
00:51:16.84\00:51:18.67
humble yourself to
acknowledge the prop
00:51:18.67\00:51:24.11
humble yourself to acknowledge
the problem. Matthew 13,
00:51:24.11\00:51:27.45
what do you say?
00:51:27.45\00:51:29.08
And in them the prophecy of
Isaiah is fulfilled which says
00:51:29.08\00:51:32.69
hearing you will hear
and should not understand and
00:51:32.69\00:51:35.09
seeing you will see a not
perceive for the hearts of
00:51:35.09\00:51:37.46
this. People have grown, don't
00:51:37.46\00:51:41.70
their ears or hard of hearing
and their eyes. They have
00:51:41.70\00:51:44.27
closed list. They should see
what their eyes and hear what
00:51:44.27\00:51:46.40
the ears let's they should
understand with their hearts
00:51:46.40\00:51:48.77
and turn so that I should heal
them. Me tell you why people
00:51:48.77\00:51:53.58
cannot see the truth for what
it really is because they've
00:51:53.58\00:51:56.88
hardened their hearts.
00:51:56.88\00:51:59.75
They think liberally, they
think beyond what the word of
00:51:59.75\00:52:02.25
God says. And they think that
while doing that, they're still
00:52:02.25\00:52:04.89
Christian, but they're deceived
while they deceive because they
00:52:04.89\00:52:07.52
harden their hearts. They have
eyes they can see and ears that
00:52:07.52\00:52:11.76
can here. That's why have
people coming all the time.
00:52:11.76\00:52:13.86
>> Brother, how can these
people not see the plain truth?
00:52:13.86\00:52:17.70
It's in God's word. It's
because they don't have eyes to
00:52:17.70\00:52:21.24
see
00:52:21.24\00:52:24.64
>> they have.
Here's what they came here.
00:52:24.64\00:52:27.64
They have in mind that they can
get spiritual. We discern what
00:52:27.64\00:52:31.41
the spirit is saying to
them because they harden their
00:52:31.41\00:52:33.92
hearts. Your prayer should
be lord humble me and maybe a
00:52:33.92\00:52:37.25
humble person. And then once
the Holy Spirit has revealed to
00:52:37.25\00:52:40.79
you what your problem is, it's
not your job to acknowledge the
00:52:40.79\00:52:44.09
man. I got a name I need to
receive this. I love someone.
00:52:44.09\00:52:49.10
Some 51. When David had messed
up when Nathan came to him
00:52:49.10\00:52:53.34
noticed they didn't play
the game. He didn't go as it.
00:52:53.34\00:52:57.57
What what are you talking
about? Me is not best Siebel.
00:52:57.57\00:52:59.84
Who then? I'm even what are you
talking? No, no. He says for AI
00:52:59.84\00:53:03.78
and not something he won
first ran for 5 knowledge. My
00:53:03.78\00:53:06.85
transgression and my son is
always before me against you.
00:53:06.85\00:53:11.35
You only have ice in and
do this evil in your sight.
00:53:11.35\00:53:15.06
Even Isaiah when he had a
run in an encounter with gods,
00:53:15.06\00:53:19.06
right? Just as what
did he say? Woe is me
00:53:19.06\00:53:25.07
for I am undone.
00:53:25.07\00:53:26.90
>> Because I am a man, all
unclean lips. And by the way,
00:53:26.90\00:53:31.64
Lord these other breweries,
other brothers and sisters,
00:53:31.64\00:53:33.91
they got some feel the amounts
to. He told his son in the
00:53:33.91\00:53:38.75
Senate as brothers and sisters.
You see when you would not have
00:53:38.75\00:53:43.25
when you see it and acknowledge
it, it does something to you
00:53:43.25\00:53:46.22
because now you've
got to deal with it.
00:53:46.22\00:53:49.19
Which leads us to number 4
00:53:49.19\00:53:51.36
humbly address the problem.
00:53:51.36\00:53:55.53
How do you address
the problem? Liberalism
00:53:55.53\00:53:59.20
once you acknowledge what
the problem is, you address it.
00:53:59.20\00:54:02.50
You find the solution.
00:54:02.50\00:54:04.21
You see the problem with
liberalism are the problem with
00:54:04.21\00:54:06.44
a liberal a stick thinking
person or liberal thinking
00:54:06.44\00:54:08.94
person is that they find
it OK to freely thing can take
00:54:08.94\00:54:13.75
liberties beyond what the
word of God authorizes. So what
00:54:13.75\00:54:18.39
would be the solution to that?
00:54:18.39\00:54:21.19
I don't know. Let
me share with you.
00:54:23.99\00:54:26.36
We go. Are you ready?
00:54:26.36\00:54:30.83
Paul says in, by the way, I
don't have time to read this
00:54:30.83\00:54:33.44
whole passage. But if you have
time to reach Second, Timothy
00:54:33.44\00:54:35.77
Chapter 4,
00:54:35.77\00:54:37.24
she's the second Timothy
Chapter 3 verse is 10 to 17
00:54:37.24\00:54:40.44
start their second, Timothy
Chapter 3 versus 10 to 17
00:54:40.44\00:54:43.65
because verse 16 17. We know
the scriptures. It's just all
00:54:43.65\00:54:47.65
all scripture is given
by inspiration of God. It is
00:54:47.65\00:54:50.69
profitable for doctrine
for approved for correction,
00:54:50.69\00:54:53.12
for instruction
and righteousness.
00:54:53.12\00:54:55.16
>> That the man of
God may be complete.
00:54:55.16\00:54:58.36
>> Certainly equipped for every
good work. What's the answer?
00:54:58.36\00:55:01.20
All scripture?
00:55:01.20\00:55:03.10
That's that's the solution.
What's interesting is if you
00:55:03.10\00:55:05.90
keep on reading as many people
would stop right there at the
00:55:05.90\00:55:08.00
last Verse of Chapter 3, if
you keep reading over into for
00:55:08.00\00:55:11.21
guess what he says, you get
on the first 2. And Paul says to
00:55:11.21\00:55:14.04
Timothy breach the ward
00:55:14.04\00:55:17.35
be ready in season or instant
in season and out of season,
00:55:17.35\00:55:20.45
Reprove review could start with
all long suffering in doctrine.
00:55:20.45\00:55:23.65
But according notice, he
says, but for the time will calm
00:55:23.65\00:55:26.96
notice when they
will not in dual or
00:55:26.96\00:55:30.36
sound doctrine. We
live in those times,
00:55:30.36\00:55:34.86
but according to their
own desires because they have
00:55:34.86\00:55:37.90
teaching years they will
keep for themselves teachers,
00:55:37.90\00:55:40.50
but then they turn their
eyes away from the truth. And he
00:55:40.50\00:55:44.04
turned aside to fables. But
you he says be watchful and all
00:55:44.04\00:55:47.14
things endure. Afflictions
do the work of evangelist and
00:55:47.14\00:55:50.38
fulfill your ministry. My
friends, what's the solution?
00:55:50.38\00:55:54.65
The word of God acknowledge
that you need to bring your
00:55:54.65\00:55:57.02
life in harmony Tuesday into
the subjection to the word of
00:55:57.02\00:56:00.59
God.
00:56:00.59\00:56:01.92
And then, of course, number
5, here it is. Humbly follow
00:56:01.92\00:56:04.96
through in faith and obedience.
Oh, man, go read. I don't have
00:56:04.96\00:56:09.70
time to read this whole
passage. But Ezekiel Chapter,
00:56:09.70\00:56:11.70
22 versus 26 through the 2
0st 28. He talks about how her
00:56:11.70\00:56:16.77
priest have violated my
law violated my sabbaths.
00:56:16.77\00:56:21.61
They're like ravening wolves
tearing the prey. But what gets
00:56:21.61\00:56:24.55
me is the last verse he
reversed. 28 her profits.
00:56:24.55\00:56:26.98
Plaster them with untempered
mordor seeing false visions and
00:56:26.98\00:56:30.05
giving lives for them saying
you're it is bust saith the
00:56:30.05\00:56:33.19
Lord God when the
Lord hath not spoken.
00:56:33.19\00:56:37.23
>> The answer is to build
your house on the rock of Jesus
00:56:40.33\00:56:44.03
Christ and his word.
00:56:44.03\00:56:47.27
>> It's that simple. Sometimes
we want to we want to build up
00:56:47.27\00:56:50.37
some big, elaborate answer
like, oh, come on, give it to
00:56:50.37\00:56:53.24
me. How do I it's simple
00:56:53.24\00:56:57.51
to the plate in build your
house up on Jesus Christ and
00:56:57.51\00:57:03.69
his were. And when
you lean on that stone,
00:57:03.69\00:57:08.22
he will humble you. But if that
stone comes and leans on you,
00:57:08.22\00:57:11.86
we will grind you to powder.
A man. Let us pray as we close
00:57:11.86\00:57:17.07
father in heaven,
00:57:17.07\00:57:18.70
give a church spirit. Lord,
00:57:18.70\00:57:21.77
teach us humility.
00:57:21.77\00:57:24.07
Provide us with your humble
spirit in lead us in the path
00:57:24.07\00:57:27.21
of righteousness.
00:57:27.21\00:57:28.71
We lead us back to you were
done may be over home of the
00:57:28.71\00:57:31.61
power of your work
