00:12 HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO 3ABN LIVE.
00:14 IF YOU'RE JUST JOINING US YOU MISSED A GOOD FIRST HOUR BUT 00:18 THIS PROGRAM ALWAYS REPEAT AND IT COULD REPEAT AGAIN ON SUNDAY 00:26 AFTERNOON. TUESDAY MORNING AND MAYBE EVEN 00:29 LATER TONIGHT. GO ON THE WEBSITE AND IT'S WORTH 00:31 HEARING BECAUSE WE HAVE PASTOR JAMES AND MS. RAFFERTY WITH US 00:38 TONIGHT. WE'LL CALL YOU ALL CO-HOSTS. 00:41 YOU'RE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE LORD AND WORKERS HERE. SUCH 00:47 A PRIVILEGE 0 WORK WITH YOU ALL. WE'RE LEARNING THINGS TONIGHT. 00:50 >> WE ARE. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THE 00:55 ISSUE OF WHAT IS IT THAT WE ARE DOING THAT VIOLATES OUR 01:00 CONSCIENCES OR WHAT IS IT THAT WE'RE DOING THAT REINFORCES? 01:04 SO WE NEED TO -- WE REALLY NEED TO FLUSH IT OUT. 01:12 >> RIGHT BEFORE WE WENT TO BREAK YOU HAD A QUESTION. 01:15 SO I TOLD THE FOLKS YOU WOULD. >> MY QUESTION WAS, WHEN WE 01:29 THINK OF A CONSCIENCE, GOOD CONSCIENCE, ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO 01:31 BE COOKIE CUTTERS? ARE THEY ALWAYS GOING TO BE 01:34 REFLECTION OF MINE OR IS MINE ALWAYS GOING TO BE SUBMITTED TO 01:39 YOURS? >> IT'S REALLY GOOD QUESTION. 01:42 THERE WAS TIME WHEN RELIGION FELT HA WAY. 01:44 THE CHURCH OF THE DARK AGES FELT THIS WAS THE WAY EVERYONE NEEDS 01:47 TO THINK AT LEAST IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE BIBLE. 01:50 SO, THEY HAD NO CAQUALMS OF KILLING PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T SEE 01:58 THINGS THE WAY THE CHURCH SAW THINGS. 02:00 THEY BELIEVED IF A PERSON DID NOT BELIEVE IN GOD, LET'S SAY, 02:05 OR RELIGION THE WAY THEY DID THAT PERSON WAS GOING TO BE 02:09 DAMMED AND BURN ETERNALLY IN HELL. 02:11 SO THEY THOUGHT WHATEVER WE TPWHAOED TO DO. 02:14 WHATEVER AFFLICTION WE NEED TO PUT ON THEM ORATOR CHER WE NEED 02:18 THEM TO ACQUIESCE AND ACCEPT WHAT WE BELIEVE, OUR 02:24 CONSCIENTIOUS BELIEF WE NEED TO DO IT BECAUSE OTHERWISE THEY'LL 02:27 BE LOST AND BURNED FOREVER AND EVER AND OVER AND I BELIEVE 02:32 WE'RE GOING BACK IN THE DARK AGES TODAY. 02:35 WE AS AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT EVEN IF I'M CONVINCED 02:41 CONSCIENTIOUSLY THAT WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND PRCTICE IS GOING TO 02:45 HARM YOU, I HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO ANYTHING TO FORCE YOU TO BELIEVE 02:51 DIFFERENTLY OR TO COME IN HARMONY. 02:55 TONIGHT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT VACCINATION OR NOT VACCINATION. 02:59 WHAT WE BELIEVE IS IF SOMEONE WANTS TO GET VACCINATED WE 03:02 BELIEVE WE SHOULD SUPPORT THAT 100%. 03:04 IF SOMEONE DOES NOT WANT TO GET VACCINATED WE BELIEVE WE CAN 03:09 SUPPORT THAT TOO. WE DO NOT BELIEVE WE NEED TO 03:11 FORCE PEOPLE TO SEE IT OUR WAY EVEN IF WE WERE RIGHT. 03:17 IN THE DARK AGES THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE RIGHT ABOUT GOD AND 03:22 SALVATION AND THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING SOMEONE A FAVOR. 03:25 WHEN WE START MANDATING AND TAKING PEOPLE'S LIVELIHOODS AWAY 03:30 FROM THEM AND HOUSES AWAY FROM THEM HEALTH AND HEALTH ACCESS 03:34 AWAY FROM THEM, WHAT WE ARE DOING IS THE SAME THING THE 03:37 CHURCH OF THE DARK AGESES. WE'RE SIMPLY TRYING TO FORCE 03:39 THEM TO DO WHAT WE THINK IS RIGHT IN DOING THAT MANY OF THE 03:46 PEOPLE ARE VIOLATE BEEN THEIR CONSCIENTIOUS CONVICTION. 03:57 BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR THAT WE CAN HAVE DIFFERENCES. 04:08 SO FEAR IS BROUGHT IN. YOU'RE AFRAID OF LOSING YOUR 04:11 JOB. YOU'RE AFRAID OF LOSING YOUR 04:13 HOME OR NOT BEING ABLE TO VISIT YOUR GRANDKIDS OR GO TO PUBLIC 04:19 PLACES SO YOU ACQUIESCE. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE 04:24 THAT. AND ANOTHER PRINCIPLE IS 04:27 ANXIETY. THE BIBLE SAYS DON'T BE TROUBLED 04:31 OR FEARFUL ABOUT THESE THINGS AND DON'T BE ANXIOUS. 04:38 BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING. DON'T BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING. 04:43 MAKE THE REQUEST KNOWN TO GOD. WHEN WE'RE ANXIOUS AND FEARFUL 04:47 WE WILL DO THINGS THAT WE WOULDN'T NORMALLY DO AND THOSE 04:51 THINGS WILL VIOLATE OUR CONSCIENCE AND OUR CONVICTIONS. 04:54 >> I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO ALSO LOOK AT EVERYTHING FROM LIKE OF 05:00 COURSE THE SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE AND LOOK AT THIS AS A GLOBAL 05:05 ISSUE. THIS IS NOT JUST AN AMERICAN 05:07 ISSUE. THIS IS A GLOBAL SITUATION WHERE 05:11 MEN AND WOMAN'S CONSCIENCES ARE BEING VIOLATED AND SO, WHEN YOU 05:16 STEP BACK AND LOOK AT IT IT'S BIGGER THAN AN AMERICAN ISSUE. 05:22 THIS IS A GLOBAL ISSUE AND THIS IS A SPIRITUAL ISSUE AND I THINK 05:27 A LOT OF TIMES WE JUST WANT TO THINK THAT WELL THIS IS JUST 05:31 HAPPENING HERE OR JUST HAPPENING TO US OR OH NO. 05:33 WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD AND YOU'RE 05:36 SAYING THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED INTO SITUATIONS THAT 05:40 VIOLATE THEIR CONSCIENCES, THEY DON'T WANT DO IT BUT THEY MUST 05:44 DO IT? IT'S LIKE THEN YOU HAVE TO SAY, 05:47 AS A CHRISTIAN, WHO READS THE WORD, YOU HAVE TO SAY, WELL 05:51 WHAT'S NEXT? WHAT IS NEXT? 05:54 IF THIS IS HAPPENING NOW AND THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, 05:57 JAMES, THE THREE DECEPTIONS, IN MATTHEW 24, IF WE DON'T STAND UP 06:03 NOW, HOW ARE WE GOING TO STAND UP TO THE WORSHIP ISSUES? 06:08 >> HOW ABOUT THIS? THE SUNDAY LAW, WE'VE NOT TOLD 06:12 THAT PEOPLE WILL END UP NOT JUST THE PEOPLE WILL TURN ON THOSE 06:16 WHO STAND UP FOR THE WORD OF GOD AND SAY YOU'RE TO BLAME. 06:23 YOU'RE THE REASON THAT ALL THESE CALAMITIES ARE HAPPENING. 06:26 DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? >> YOU'RE FAST FORWARDING. 06:31 YOU DIDN'T GET VACCINE AND YOU'RE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS 06:36 AND EVEN THOUGH YOU READ EVERY DAY AND I KNOW PEOPLE WHO GOT 06:40 THE VACCINE AND I KNOW PEOPLE CAN GIVE IT WHO HAVE BEEN 06:44 VACCINATED AND CAN ALSO GIVE COVID. 06:47 BUT STILL YET PEOPLE ARE WRITING UGLY THINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA 06:50 SAYING YOU'RE ALL TO BLAME. SO TO ME IF IT'S CUT AND DRY I 06:58 DON'T SMOKE BECAUSE I KNOW THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT. 07:01 I DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL. I KNOW THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT. 07:03 BUT I DON'T KNOW THIS YET. SO WE'RE LEARNING AND THE MORE 07:06 WE LEARN THE MORE ENLIGHTENED WE MIGHT BE AND PEOPLE ARE SAYING, 07:11 I WISH I NEVER HAD DONE THAT. SO AGAIN IT SHOULD BE YOUR 07:16 CHOICE. BECAUSE THERE'S NO PROOF THAT 07:18 THE UNVACCINATED ARE KILLING A LOT MORE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE 07:22 FOR THAT BECAUSE WE'RE SEEING IT BOTH WAYS. 07:26 BREAKTHROUGHS -- >> IN ENGLAND THEY HAD WHERE 60% 07:31 DIED OVER THERE WERE FULLY VACCINATED. 07:34 AND SO THEY DIED. SO WE OUGHT TO BE OPEN TO THE 07:40 FACT THAT HOW AM I GOING TO ACT WHEN THIS COMES DOWN TO THE 07:46 SUNDAY LAW. SO THE PRINCIPLE YOU'RE TO 07:51 BLAME, YOU GUYS ARE TO BLAME US AN OF WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. 07:55 >> THIS IS WHERE WE NEED TO LOOK AT SOME OF THESE BIBLE VERSUSES. 08:02 GOD IS LOVE AND THAT LOVE DRIVES OUT ALL FEAR. 08:05 SO WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES INTO OUR HEARTS THE FATHER GOES 08:09 OUT. NOT JUST THE FEAR THAT CAUSES US 08:13 TO COMPROMISE OUR CONVICTION BUT THE FEAR THAT WOULD INTIMIDATE 08:17 US WHEN PEOPLE POINT THE FINGER. THAT'S ANOTHER PRINCIPLE THAT WE 08:25 LOOK AT HERE. PEER PRESSURE IS WHEN YOU HAVE PRESSURE. 08:32 PEER PRESSURE IS WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. 08:34 JOSEPH WAS UNDER A LOT OF PEER PRESSURE AND CALEB AND JOSHUA 08:39 WERE UNDER A LOT OF PEER PRESSURE. 08:41 THEY'RE 2 OUT OF 10. AT THE TIME THERE WAS A CONFLICT 09:11 TAKING PLACE HERE. AND GOD HAS TO COME INTO THE PICTURE. 09:14 >> I WANT TO MAKE ONE LAST STATEMENT. 09:19 I'M NOT SITTING HERE SAYING I'LL NEVER TAKE THE VACCINE. 09:24 THEY'RE CHANGING AND I SAW A PILL THAT YOU CAN TAKE AND 09:28 NUMEROUS PROTOCOLS AND A LOT OF THINGS YOU CAN DO AND THEY MAY 09:33 HAVE PROVEN THAT AND SCIENCE BACKS IT AND I SEE IT TORE A 09:37 WHILE -- SO I'M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND SAY THIS IS ABOUT 09:40 VACCINEES. NO IT'S NOT. 09:42 IT'S JUST ABOUT BEING MANDATED. RIGHT NOW IT'S AGAINST MY 09:52 CONSCIENCE. >> I CHOOSE TO TAKE THE VACCINE 09:54 FOR THIS AND THIS REASON. >> THANK YOU. 09:57 THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. >> SO ANOTHER PRINCIPLE THAT 10:02 COMES AGAINST OUR CONSCIENCE INTIMIDATES OUR CONSCIENCE IS 10:07 ISOLATION. ISOLATION. 10:08 ISOLATING AND FEELING ALONE IN YOUR CONVICTIONS WHICH MAKES YOU 10:11 QUESTION THEM. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? 10:14 I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THIS WAY. 10:18 DANIEL DARE TO BE A DANIEL. DARE TO STAND ALONE AND HAVE A 10:25 PURPOSE. HE EXPERIENCED SEPARATION FROM 10:26 HIS FAMILY FROM HIS CULTURE AND FROM HIS NATION. 10:30 THEY CHANGED HIS NAME AND CHANGED HIS EDUCATION. 10:33 JOHN THE BAPTIST HE WAS TOTALLY ISOLATED OTHER. 10:36 E EVEN FROM HIS DISCIPLES. AND JESUS SAID THERE IS NO 10:45 GREATER PROPHET THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST BECAUSE HE STOOD STRONG 10:49 FOR HIS CONSCIENTIOUS CONVICTION AND TOLD THE TRUTH TO HAR ROD 10:53 AND STOOD ON THAT TRUTH. IT WAS THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF 10:57 GOD. BUT ISOLATION CAN BE HARD. 10:58 YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE YOUR FAMILY OR GRANDKIDS. 11:01 THESE ARE ALL PRINCE IS MR.S THAT WE SEE. 11:04 THAT INTIMIDATE THE CONSCIENCE. >> THAT IS SUCH A GREAT POINT 11:08 BECAUSE I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE WHO FEEL SO ISOLATED AND ALONE, 11:13 ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO GET THE VACCINE WITH 11:18 THEIR FRIENDS WHO EVER CHOSEN TO AND NOT COMING OVER THERE 11:23 BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN VACCINATED OR I WON'T VISIT YOU. 11:28 IT'S THAT ISOLATION THAT CAUSES PEOPLE ALONG WITH PEER PRESSURE 11:33 TO MOVE AGAINST WHAT THEY FEEL IS RIGHT. 11:36 SO THAT IS SUCH -- THAT IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT POINT AND THERE ARE 11:40 SO MANY PEOPLE NOW WHO FEEL SO ALONE. 11:49 NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE VACCINE BUT JUST BECAUSE OF COVID 11:52 PERIOD. THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO STAY AWAY 11:53 OR STAY HEALTHY. BUT IT IS A REAL PROBLEM. 11:57 ISOLATION AND PEER PRESSURE ARE VERY, VERY SIGNIFICANT WITH 12:01 CHRISTIANS AND NON CHRISTIANS >> AND DOESN'T MAKE SENSE WITH 12:04 THE SCIENCE. IF YOU'RE VACCINATED WHAT ARE 12:06 YOU AFRAID OF? YOU'RE VACCINATED. 12:09 VACS NAYSES WERE NEVER INTENDED TO STOP INFECTIONS. 12:13 YOU CAN STILL INFECT AND BE INFECTED. 12:17 SO ISOLATION IS ONE. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS TO 12:21 RELATIONSHIP TO CHOICES AND LIFESTYLE, THAT'S ANOTHER AREA. 12:29 I WAS THINKING HOW WE RELATE TO THINGS LIKE FOOD. 12:35 PEOPLE MAYBE LIKE, WELL, THAT TASTES GOOD OR WE THAT FEELS 12:38 GOOD. SO THERE IS A PART OF THE BRAIN 12:41 THAT IS THE PLEASURE REWARD PATHWAY AND A LOT OF THE 12:45 DECISIONS ON WHETHER THAT GETS STIMULATED OR IGNITED. 12:47 IT BRINGS ME PLEASURE SO I JUST AUTOMATICALLY GO DO IT. 12:57 I FIND MYSELF WITH A QUART OF ICE CREAM IN MY LAP. 13:01 >> HAVE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING ME? [LAUGHTER] 13:08 >> DO I LOOK GUILTY? >> IT'S SO COMMON. 13:12 SO WE MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THAT PART OF OF OUR BRAIN OR 13:16 THERE ARE OTHER PARTS THAT ARE MORE KEYED INTO SOMETHING 13:20 HAPPENED AND I HAVE TO REACT TO THE AND WE DON'T PASS TAT 13:26 INFORMATION THROUGH OUR CONSCIENCE FIRST, IS THAT A BEST 13:30 IDEA FOR ME TO GRAB ICE CREAM RIGHT NOW. 13:33 YES OR NO. IT'S MY CHOICE. 13:38 RATHER THAT COMPULSIVE THING. WHEN JAMES WAS EVEMENTIONING THE 13:46 LIFESTYLE, YOU WANT TO BE WILLING TO VIS LISTEN TO THAT 13:51 VOICE AND SUBMIT TO SOME OTHER PARTS OF THE BRAIN. 13:53 >> ONE OF THE SADDEST STORIES I HEARD IN A LONG TIME, SOMEONE 13:56 THAT WAS MARRIED TO ONE OF MY RELATIVES -- I DON'T WANT TO GET 14:01 TOO DETAILED -- SHE DIED SOME TIME AGO AND IS THE HUSBAND WAS 14:06 SO LONELY. HE HAD BEEN OFFWEIGHT. 14:10 HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO OUT AND HE CONTINUED TO EAT AND EAT AND IS 14:16 ENDED UP 325 POUNDS. ONLY THING HE COULD DO WAS MAKE 14:19 IT TO HIS CAR TO GO TO FAST FOOD AND COME HOME AND HE KEPT 14:24 GETTING HEAVIER AND HEAVIER UNTIL LAST WEEK I GOT A CALL 14:27 FROM ONE OF MY RELATIVES IN FACT WAS ASKED TODAY TO DO A 14:33 MEMORIAL. IT'S BEEN A WEEK OR SO AGO, HE 14:34 KILLED HIMSELF. SHOT HIMSELF. 14:36 LEFT A NOTE. NOT WORTH LIVING. 14:38 I CAN'T EVEN GET OUT TO GO EAT. SO SOMETHING THERE WAS NOT 14:44 BALANCED. BECAUSE THAT MEANT MORE THAN 14:49 ANYTHING. BUT NOW IF I CAN'T DO THAT, THEN 14:52 I DON'T WANT TO LIVE. >> YEAH, IT'S HARD. 14:56 WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE PRINCIPLES THAT INTIMIDATE OUR CONSCIENCE, 15:00 SOMETIMES WE'RE IN SITUATIONS WHERE WE FEEL HELPLESS TO GET 15:03 OUT OF THEM. AND WE TALK ABOUT THIS IN 15:06 RELATIONSHIP TO FEAR AND RELATIONSHIP TO ANXIETY AND 15:09 HEALTH PRINCIPLES. GOD IS THE SOURCE. 15:13 SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE BEING ISOLATED FROM PEOPLE, ULTIMATELY 15:17 OUR SOUL IS GOD. HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR US. 15:20 HE'S ALWAYS OUR FRIEND. WE WENT THROUGH SOME 15:23 PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT TIME IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO, WORKING 15:27 FOR A MINISTRY THAT COFOUNDED AND CODIRECTED AND IS I HAD TO 15:32 RESIGN AND WALK AWAY FROM IT. I FOUND AT THAT TIME I FELT VERY 15:36 ISOLATED. MAYBE I WASN'T BUT I FELT VERY 15:38 ISOLATED. AND IN THAT ISOLATION, IT'S LIKE 15:40 WHEN DAVID IS GOING THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE AND HIS MEN ARE 15:46 WEEPING AND CRYING AND THEY TURN ON HIM. 15:50 SO HE'S BY HIMSELF NOW. HIS OWN MEN. 15:52 HE ENCOURAGES HIMSELF IN THE LORD. 15:55 WE CAN ALWAYS FIND GOD WITH US NO MATTER HOW LOW AND NO MATTER 15:59 HOW HARD AND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS. 16:02 AND WHAT'S REALLY AMAZING ABOUT THAT IS, WHEN WE FIND THAT GOD 16:07 IS WITH US, WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS GONE, WHEN WE FIND HE'S THE 16:10 ONLY ONE THAT WE HAVE, WE'LL FIND HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WE 16:14 ACTUALLY NEED. >> YES. 16:15 THAT'S SO TRUE. >> THAT'S WHERE GOD WANTS US. 16:20 SO WHEN THESE MACHINE DATES COME SO THAT WHEN THESE THINGS 16:23 HAPPEN, WE'RE SAYING, WHY WOULD WE TURN AWAY FROM GOD RIGHT NOW? 16:27 GIVE UP OUR FAITH IN GOD RIGHT NOW. 16:30 WHAT EARTHLY THING WOULD COME CLOSE TO STANDING FOR TRUTH AND 16:33 PRINCIPLE IN WHAT'S RIGHT AND WHAT MY CONSCIENCE TELLS ME. 16:36 THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN TOUCH US IN THIS TIME. 16:39 BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS THE DEVIL COMES IN AND ANOTHER THING HE 16:42 DOES TO INTIMIDATE IS PRE OCCUPATION WITH SUCCESS OR 16:49 SURVIVAL. DAVID WANTED TO SURVIVE. 16:52 HE'S RUNNING FROM SOL AND HE LIES TO HIM AND ACTUALLY PUTS 16:56 HIM IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE HE LIVES. 16:58 AND SOMETIMES SURVIVAL MODE KICKS IN AND WE'RE WILLING TO 17:01 SAY THINGS THAT AREN'T TRUE AND VIOLATE OUR CONSCIENCE OR 17:08 SUCCESS MODE. PEOPLE ARE MORE FOCUSSED ON 17:20 SURVIVAL MODE OR MORE FOCUS THE ON SUCCESS AND HAVING THEIR 17:23 CAREER OR NAME OR WHATEVER THAN THEY ARE IN FOLLOWING THE 17:28 CONSCIENCE AND CONSCIENTIOUS CONVICTIONS. 17:33 >> GUILT IS ANOTHER ONE. WE TOUCHED ON THAT A LITTLE BIT. 17:41 SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE SO GUILTY WE THROW OFF THE CONSCIENCE. 17:45 IT'S TOO MUCH PRESSURE. I DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO RESOLVE 17:50 THAT. I DIDN'T FOUND FORGIVENESS IN 17:53 CHRIST. SO THAT SOMETIMES CAN BE A 17:54 THREAT TO OUR CONSCIENCE. PAUL WAS PRETTY BEAT UP BY THE 18:14 TIME HE GOT TO END OF HIS MINISTRY. 18:23 195 STRIPE BEATEN STONE TO DEATH. 18:25 THEY THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD SHIPWRECKED AND IN THAT CONFLICT 18:30 HE SAYS, I'VE LIVED WITH THIS CONSCIENCE BEFORE GOD AND MAN. 18:49 SO THE CONSCIENCE IS THE MOST VALUABLE THING THAT WE POSSESS. 18:54 WHY? BECAUSE IT SUGGESTS OUR 18:56 RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, OUR CONNECTION WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT 18:58 AND OUR COPERCEPTION WITH GOD AND LIVING A LIFE THAT IS 19:01 PLEASING TO GOD. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING 19:03 THAT WE CAN HAVE ON PLANET EARTH. 19:07 >> IF THAT'S THE CASE WHAT DO YOU THINK THE DEVIL WILL TARGET. 19:11 >> EVERY WAY HE CAN. >> HE'LL TRY TO DESTROY 19:19 CONSCIENTIOUS CONVICTION. WE DON'T WANT TO BE TIED INTO 19:40 OUR NOTES BUT WE HAVE WRITTEN THESE OUT SO WE CAN HAVE SOME 19:44 GOOD BIBLICAL GUIDELINES. AND FOLKS CAN FOLLOW. 19:52 WE MIGHT VEER OFF AND GO INTO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. 19:55 BUT THIS I CONFESS UNTO THEE. AFTER THE WAY WHICH THEY CALL 20:05 HERESY BELIEVE ALL THINGS -- >> 24:16. 20:10 SORRY. 16. 20:11 I WANT TO READ THE WHOLE CONTEXT AND WHICH THEY THEMSELVES ALSO 20:16 ALLOW THERE SHOULD BE A RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD AND 20:22 HEREIN TO I EXERCISE MYSELF TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN. 20:26 NOW WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING IS THIS. 20:30 IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS HE'S SAYING THAT THE MEN THAT HE HAS 20:34 A GOOD CONSCIENCE TOWARD ARE CALLING HIM A HERETIC. 20:38 THEY'RE SAYING I'M A HERETIC BUT I'M LIVING IN GOOD CONSCIENCE 20:46 TOWARD GOD AND MEN. THERE ARE HUMANS WHO YOU BELIEVE 20:53 IS HERESY BUT YOU BELIEVE YOU'RE LIVING IN GOOD CONSCIENCE TOWARD 20:57 THEM AND GOD. AND THAT IS WHERE FREEDOM OF 21:00 CONSCIENCE IS VITAL. THAT'S WHERE THIS COUNTRY HAS 21:05 STOOD SO STRONG FOR SO LONG. THIS HAS BEEN -- I MENTIONED 21:07 THIS EARLIER A GLORIOUS LAND. DANIEL 11 TALKS ABOUT THIS KING 21:13 OF THE NORTH POWER ENTERING INTO THE GLORIOUS LAND. 21:22 AND THAT IS UNDER ATTACK. AND THEY RECOGNIZE THE THREAT 21:39 NOT NECESSARILY FROM SOCIALISM OR THE MONARCHS BUT FROM 21:44 DEMOCRACY, FROM THE MASS. THAT'S WHY THIS COUNTRY WAS 21:48 ESTABLISHED BY AS A REPUBLIC AND ABOUT AS A DEMOCRACY. 21:51 IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN WAYS WITH CHECKS AND BALANCES SO YOU HAVE 21:54 AN EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND IS JUDICIAL BRANCH AND LEGISLATIVE 21:59 BRANCH AND THEY WEREN'T TO BE MIXED UP. 22:01 WE DIDN'T WANT THE PRESIDENT TO BE MAKING LAWS. 22:02 THAT'S FOR THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH. 22:04 WE DON'T WANT THE SUPREME COURT BEING THE ONE THAT MAKES 22:07 DECISIONS THAT DETERMINE LAWS. THEY'RE THE JUDGE. 22:13 SO EVERYTHING IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND EVERYTHING IS MIXED UP 22:16 AND WE'RE SEEING AN ERODING OF THESE PRINCIPLES OF THE 22:22 INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND CONSCIENCE BEING HE WOULD SAY SOVEREIGN IN 22:27 A SENSE. GOD WHO IS SOVEREIGN MADE HUMAN 22:30 BEINGS WITH THE FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE AND THEY HAVE BECOME 22:37 SOVEREIGN. JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS 22:40 TO PROTECT THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO CHOOSE 22:44 AGAINST HIM. IT'S INCREDIBLE. 22:45 SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THERE THIS PRINCIPLE WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING 22:51 ABOUT SOME THING. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BIBLICAL 22:58 FOUNDATION. AND IT'S UNDER ATTACK RIGHT NOW. 23:07 >> I'D RATHER HAVE THIS APPROVAL. 23:08 WHEN YOU WERE TALKING I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE NUREMBURG 23:14 TRIALS AFTER WORLD WAR II. 1945, '46 AND THESE MEN WHO HAVE 23:19 BEEN A PART OF HORRIFIC THINGS THAT WERE DONE ARE BEING CALLED 23:23 TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT AND THEY SAY, WELL, I WAS JUST 23:27 FOLLOWING ORDERS. RIGHT? 23:30 AT THAT POINT WE SAID NO THAT DOESN'T FLY. 23:32 WHY DOESN'T THAT FLY? BECAUSE BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD 23:37 HAVE A CONSCIENCE. THERE'S RIGHT AND WRONG AND THEN 23:42 ACCOUNTABILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS TO GOD AND MAN. 23:44 >> SO IT'S THE INDIVIDUAL. YOU CANNOT SURRENDER THAT TO THE 23:49 MASS AND TO THE MAJORITY. IN THE DECISIONS OF INDIVIDUAL 23:56 CONSCIENCE, THE MAJORITY HAS NO POWER. 24:01 WE HAVE TO STAND INDIVIDUALLY BEFORE GOD AND GIVE AN ACCOUNT 24:04 OF OURSELVES. YOU ALL HAVE CALLED ME HERETICS 24:07 BUT MY CONSCIENCE IS WITHOUT OFFENSE BEFORE GOD AND BEFORE 24:11 YOU. ASK SO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND 24:13 HOW -- BECAUSE IN THIS SOCIETY IN SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE THE MEDIA 24:17 SAYS ABOUT YOU IS WHAT'S TRUE. IF MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON YOUR 24:25 FEED ARE SAYING THAT WHAT SAYING IS WRONG YOU MUST BE WRONG. 24:30 IF PEOPLE WILL CANCEL YOU THEN THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WICKED 24:36 ABOUT YOU. WE'RE GIVING INTO THAT GROUP 24:39 THINK. >> WE ALL KIND OF BELIEVE THE 24:40 SAME THING AND THEREFORE IT'S RIGHT AND WE'LL PRESSURE TO THE 24:48 THE WAY WE DO. WE RECONSIDER THE SOCIAL MEDIAS 24:56 THAT WE'RE APART OF. BECAUSE AS BEING PART OF THAT, 24:59 WE ARE SUPPORTING SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY ACTUALLY OUR SOCIETY. 25:10 WE GOT THIS GROUP THING THAT'S TAKING PLACE AND COLLECTIVE 25:16 CONSCIOUSNESS AND PEOPLE -- IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A REASONING 25:21 THING. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY LOOKING AT 25:22 THE EVIDENCE. IT'S AN EMOTIONAL THING AND THE 25:25 WAY YOU FEEL AND YOUR EMOTIONS AND THE PEOPLE HAVE THE 25:28 STRONGEST EMOTIONS ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE RIGHTEST. 25:33 BECAUSE LOOK HOW EMOTIONAL THEY ARE ABOUT THIS. 25:35 THEY MUST BE RIGHT. LOOK HOW THEY FEEL. 25:38 >> BUT THEY'RE ALSO THE ONES WHO CAN KIND OF CONTROL THOSE WHO 25:42 ARE NOT AS VOCAL. SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE 25:46 WHO ARE LIKE THIS IS THE WAY IT'S GOT TO BE AND ITS NOT 25:49 GOING TO BE THS WAY YOU'LL BE PU 26:15 PUNISHED YOU FEEL RISE THIS IS A REAL PHENOMENON THAT SOME OF 26:19 THESE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS ARE SET UP WITHAL GO RHYTHMS -- 26:33 ALGORITHMS THAT CONTROL HOW MANY RESPONSES YOU GET AND ALL THAT. 26:48 >> I WAS JUST SITTING HERE THINKING HOW WONDERFUL PARENTAL 26:52 GUIDANCE CAN BE. MY DAD WAS A SIMPLE GUY. 26:56 HE HAD AN EIGHTH GRADE EDUCATION BUT ONE OF THE SMARTEST PEOPLE I 27:00 EVER MET. WHOLE TIME WE'VE BEEN TALKING I 27:02 REMEMBER HIM SAYING, SON YOU BUILD ON A FOUNDATION. 27:05 YOU DON'T BUILD IN THE SAND. SO YOU GO BY PRINCIPLE. 27:13 WE DON'T BY DETAILS. IF FOLLOW EVERYBODY ELSE YOU'RE 28:03 GOING TO END UP DYING REALLY YOUNG. 28:07 YOU'LL SMOKE AND YOU'LL PROBABLY DIE OF LUNG CANCER OR DRINKING 28:11 YOU DIE FROM A CAR WRECK. WHY WOULD YOU LET SOMEBODY IN 28:15 THIS GROUP YOUR PEERS WHY WOULD YOU LET THEM TALK INTO DOING 28:21 SOMETHING THAT MAY CAUSE EFFECTS THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. 28:24 IT GOT THROUGH TO ME. I WOULD SAY THIS AND THAT. 28:36 SON, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT. WE LOOK AT THE PRINCIPLE. 28:45 >> I LISTEN TO THIS TED TALK WHERE A FATHER SAID I WANT TO 28:49 HELP NURTURE CONSCIENCE, A TENDER SENSITIVE CONSCIENCE IN 28:53 MY CHILDREN AND LIKE YOU SAID I THINK PARENTS THAT'S OUR JOB. 28:59 AND HE WOULD TAKE HIS CHILDREN ONE AT A TIME AND THEY WOULD DO 29:02 LIKE A TRIP THEY COULD AFFORD IT OR WHATEVER BUT THEY WOULD TAKE 29:06 THESE TRIPS ONE ON ONE WITH EACH ONE OF THEIR KIDS AND DO 29:10 SOMETHING HUMANITARIAN AND IS GO DOWN TO SOUTH AMERICA OR AFRICA 29:18 BUT TO KEEP THAT CONSCIENCE SENSITIVE AND TENDER AND EDUCATE 29:25 IT. MY DAUGHTER SAID ONE TIME YOU'RE 29:27 THE VOICE IN OUR HEAD. FOR ALMOST 37 YEARS I TRIED TO 29:54 GUIDE IT THROUGH THE GUIDING PART BASED ON WHAT BASICALLY MY 29:58 DAD TAUGHT ME AND THAT'S STAY IN THE WORD OF GOD AND DON'T WORRY 30:04 ABOUT BEING POPULAR, WHO CARES? YOU JUST WANT TO BE POPULAR WITH 30:07 JESUS. DECISIONS WE MADE AND A LOFT 30:10 TIMES PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VERY UPSET IN THE BEGINNING. 30:29 I NEVER ONCE DOUBTED THAT 3ABN WOULD BECOME A REALITY. 30:37 NEVER ONCE. WHY? 30:40 BECAUSE THE LORD IMPRESSED ME TO BUILD A TELEVISION STATION TO 30:43 REACH THE WORLD. SO NOW ALL I GOT TO DO IS GO 30:47 FORWARD. ONLY WAY IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN IS 30:53 IF I QUIT. I FOUND 3 OR 4 PEOPLE WHEN I 30:59 BEGAN TO TELL THE STORY ABOUT 3AB2346789 WHO SAID I KNOW 31:04 YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH BECAUSE THE LORD IMPRESSED ME THE SAME 31:07 THING AND I COULDN'T DO IT. SO I SAID I'M NOT EVEN THE FIRST 31:10 CHOICE. I'M DOWN IN THE LANE SOMEWHERE. 31:18 SO NOW THANK YOU. AND THAT I LOVE THAT. 31:31 MY DAD HE DIED WHEN I WAS 23, HE STILL DECISIONS I MAKE TO THIS 31:35 DAY BASE IT ON PRINCIPLE. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT FEELINGS. 31:53 SO THAT'S STILL TODAY I'M A VERY -- I'M A VERY POSITIVE 31:58 PERSON. >> HE IS. 31:59 HE DOESN'T GET DEPRESSED. HE'S NOT HANGING HIS HEAD DOWN 32:05 BECAUSE HE KNOWS -- >> SPHR IT'S NOT ON ME. 32:10 IT >> I WANT TO ADD TO THAT. 32:12 EVEN THE VOICE IN THE HEAD SAYING MY CHILDREN ARE NOT 32:16 COOKIE CUTTERS OF ME AND I SHOULD BE -- I WANT THEM TO MAKE 32:20 THE DECISIONS. SOME OF THEM I'M LIKE, WHY DON'T 32:24 YOU LIVE LIKE ME OR DO WHAT I WANT YOU DO. 32:26 BUT I'M AN AMERICAN AND I'M A CHRISTIAN AND I BELIEVE IN 32:29 FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE AND I'M GOING TO RESPECT THAT'S WHERE 32:32 YOU'RE AT RIGHT NOW AND THOSE ARE THE DECISIONS YOU'RE MAKING 32:35 AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A COOKIE CUTTER. 32:44 >> I'LL HOPE THEY ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT. 32:46 IT MAY GO AWAY. >> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT 32:50 WE TOUCH ON THE CONSCIENCE BEING SEARED. 32:53 >> WE CAN TOUCH ON THAT. BUT ONE LAST POINT IS HOW IT 33:00 RELATES TO OTHER PEOPLE. IF WE AREN'T CAREFUL WE CAN MAKE 33:04 DECISIONS THINKING WE'RE REACHING PEOPLE AND INFLUENCING 33:07 PEOPLE AND MAYBE EVEN EVANGELIZING PEOPLE BUT WE'RE 33:12 COMPROMISING OUR CONSCIENCE OR CONSCIENTIOUS BELIEFS OR THE 33:19 KNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVE. >> SOLOMON WAS NOT ONLY WEALTHY, 34:00 WHICH HE DIDN'T ASK FOR WEALTH HE ASKED FOR WISDOM AND GOD GAVE 34:03 HIM WISDOM AND WEALTH AND HE WAS THE WISEST MAN THAT LIVED. 34:06 BUT IN THAT KNOWLEDGE AND IS HE KNEW THAT GOD WAS THE ONLY TRUE 34:11 GOD. HE KNEW THAT. 34:12 BUT AS HE STARTED TO RUB SHOULDERS WITH A LOT OF THE 34:15 NATIONS AROUND HIM AND STARTED TO IMPRESS THEM HE BEGAN TO DO 34:20 EVANGELISM THAT WAS BASED ON COMPROMISING. 34:30 THEN HE STARTED PUTTING UP IDOL AND HE KNEW IT WASN'T ANYTHING. 34:34 AN IDOL IS NOTHING AND THERE ARE NO OTHER GODS. 34:38 WE KNOW THAT. BUT IF PEOPLE SEE YOU WHO KNOW 34:41 THAT ACTUALLY WORSHIPPING IDOLS AND IF PEOPLE WHO SEE THAT WHO 34:46 KNOW THAT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ONE INTERACTING LIKE THAT -- I'M 34:52 JUST DOING THAT OR EVANGELISM. THEIR CONSCIENCE WILL BE 34:57 EMBOLDEN TO BE THE VERY SAME THINGS. 34:58 THE LACK OF STANDING UP FOR OUR CONSCIENTIOUS CONVICTIONS OF 35:02 TRUTH CAN ACTUALLY BE A STUMBLING BLOCK TO OTHER PEOPLE. 35:12 HE WAS TRYING TO DO IT HIS WAY AND NOT GOD'S WAY. 35:17 AND HE'S SAYING THAT THERE ARE TIMES NO ONE ELSE SHOULD 35:26 INFLUENCE THOSE BUT ALSO OUR CONSCIENTIOUS CONVICTIONS CAN BE 35:30 COMPROMISED IN A WAY THAT INFLUENCES OTHER PEOPLE 35:33 NEGATIVELY. AND SO WE KNOW THE TRUTH. 35:35 WE KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS AGAIN. 35:38 I DON'T WANT TO NECESSARILY BRING THIS UP AGAIN BUT WE'RE 35:42 7TH DAY ADVENTISTS. AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY ARE 35:49 PRIMARY TEACHINGS. WE KNOW THESE PRINCIPLES PERHAPS 35:53 MORE THAN ANY OTHER CHURCH. BAPTISTS ARE REALLY BIG ON 36:00 RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AS WELL. I SALUTE THEM FOR THAT. 36:04 WE SHOULD BE SPEAKING OUT AND WE SHOULD BE CRYING OUT AND 36:07 STANDING AGAINST NOT VACCINES OR UNVACCINES BUT MAN DATES AND 36:14 COERCION AND INTIMIDATION AND ISOLATION AND FEAR AND ALL THESE 36:17 PRINCIPLES THAT INTIMIDATE FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE. 36:21 >> GOOD. INTIMIDATION. 36:28 BIBLE TELLS US THAT OUR CONSCIENCE CAN GO BAD AND BE 36:31 DAMAGED AND SEARED AND IGNORED AND SILENCED AND UNDEVELOPED. 36:39 ALL THESE THINGS CAN HAPPEN FIRST SIM MOTH THY 4. 36:50 WHY DID I STUDY THESE IN BECAUSE I WAS A MEAT EATER. 36:54 I WAS THE MEAT EATER. WHEN EVERYONE WAS GOING BACK FOR 37:03 ICE CREAMY WAS GOING BACK FOR MEET AND POTATOES. 37:12 I STILL SALIVATE WHEN I SMELL MEAT COOKING. 37:15 I HAVEN'T EATEN MEAT FOR 37 YEARS SINCE I BECAME A 37:19 VEGETARIAN. BUT WHEN I FIRST STARTED 37:24 STUDYING THESE ARE THE VERSUS I READ. 37:28 I'LL READ TWO OF THEM. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CONVINCED 37:30 ME THAT SHE WAS IN A CULT SHE TOLD ME THAT YOU SHOULDN'T EAT 37:37 M MEAT. 37:38 I THOUGHT MAN SHE'S IN A CULT I GOT TO GET HER OUT. 37:41 THE SPIRIT SPEAKS EXPRESSLY AND IS SOME SHALL DID HE PARTY 37:45 GIVING HEAT TO SEDUCING SPEECH. HAVING THEIR CONSCIENCE SEARED 37:53 WITH A HOT IRON WE CAN SEAR THE CONSCIENCE. 37:56 THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WERE ONCE IN THE FAITH AND THEY'RE 37:58 DEPARTING. WHAT IS THE FAITH? 38:01 THE FAITH COMES FROM HEARING AND DEPARTING FROM THE WORD OF GOD. 38:07 THE COPERCEPTION OF GOD IS SEARED. 38:09 WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN VERSE 3? THEY'RE FORBIDDING TO MARRY AND 38:16 COMMANDING TO ABSTAIN FROM MEATS. 38:33 THE WORD GOD CREATED THAT'S WHAT HE ORIGINALLY FORMED. 38:35 HE ORIGINALLY CREATED. THAT'S WHAT THE GREEK IS. 38:38 IT'S AN ORIGINAL FORMATION SO THIS SHOULD READ. 38:40 THOSE WHO DEPART FROM THE WORD OF GOD WHO ONCE HAD A POSITION 38:45 BUT NOW LEAVING IT OR COMMANDING PEOPLE TO HOLD OFF FROM THE FOOD 38:49 TO BE RECEIVED AT THANKSGIVING. EVERYTHING HE ORIGINALLY CREATED 38:58 IS GOOD. THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE 39:01 ORIGINAL DIET GOD GAVE US. BUT HERE'S THE KEY IN THESE 39:05 VERSUS THAT I WANT TO GO BACK TO. 39:07 WHEN OUR CONSCIENCE IS SEARED THERE ARE TWO THINGS WE'LL DO. 39:11 FORBIDDING AND COMMANDING. FORBIDDING AND COMMANDING. 39:16 WHEN THE CONSCIENCE IS SEARED ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WHEN HE 39:19 DO -- WHEN JESUS CAME TO THIS EARTH HE MET WITH PEOPLE AND LET 39:22 THEM HAVE FREEDOM OF CHOICE. HE PREACHED TO THEM AND HE URGED 39:27 THEM AND HE CALLED THEM. BUT HE DIDN'T -- HE WASN'T IN 39:30 THIS ATTITUDE OF FORBIDDING AND COMMANDING. 39:33 IN OTHER WORDS, HUMAN -- NOW GOD HAS COMMAND. 39:35 ES BUT THEY'RE PROMISES FPLS HUMAN BEINGS WHEN THEIR 39:38 CONSCIENCE IS SEARED THEY GET INTO THIS CONTROL MODE OF 39:43 FORBIDDING AND COMMANDING. I'VE SEEN THIS EVERYWHERE. 39:46 I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. I'VE SEEN IT ON AIRPLANES. 39:51 WE FLEW OUT HERE -- ONE TRIP -- WE GOT ON AN AIRPLANE. 39:56 WE WERE ALL MASKING UP AND IS THE STEWARD DOES THE AUTOMATIC 40:02 THING. SAT DOWN IN THE CHAIR AND NEVER 40:05 SAID ANOTHER WORD ABOUT IT. AND SOME OF US HAD THEM UNDER 40:08 OUR NOSES AND DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. 40:11 GOT ON THE NEXT FLIGHT TWO STOOD WARDS ALL OVER US. 40:15 JUST POLICING IT. FORBIDDING AND COMMANDING. 40:18 FORBIDDING AND COMMANDING NO SLACK AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS 40:22 ONE OF THE ERR MARKS OF THOSE WHOSE CONSCIENCES ARE BEING 40:26 SEARED AND THEY WANT TO CONTROL OTHER PEOPLE. 40:28 IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH THEY'RE DOING WHAT THEY FEEL IS THEIR 40:31 CONVICTION. THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE OTHER 40:33 PEOPLE ARE DOING IT TOO. THEIR CONTROLLING AND FORBIDDING 40:35 AND COMMANDING AND THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK IS AN 40:39 EARMARK OF A SEARED CONSCIENCE. >> I THINK YOU'RE USING THE WORD 40:43 SEARED BUT IF WE COULD CLARIFY. WHEN WE'RE NOT ALLOWING TO HAVE 41:14 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN INTERNAL GPS THEN WE WANT TO 41:23 CONTROL IT. HE HAD A QUESTIONABLE 41:42 FATHERHOOD. AND IS PEOPLE ARE THINKING, OH 41:45 NO, THAT CAN'T BE THE MESSIAH AND THEY CONTINUED UNTIL FINALLY 41:49 THEY GOT TO THE PLACE WHERE HE IS THE DEVIL AND WE NEED TO TAKE 41:53 HIM OUT AND EVEN PEOPLE WHO SPOKE UP IN THE FINAL MEETING, 41:59 HE WASN'T INVITED AND JOSEPH WASN'T INVITED. 42:01 THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR THAT. THE CONSCIENCE BECAME MORE AND 42:04 MORE SEARED AND SO THEY COULDN'T EVEN HEAR UNTIL FINALLY THE 42:10 ROMAN SOLDIERS CAME BACK FROM THE TOMB AND SAID, IT'S THE 42:14 MESSIAH AND ANGEL CAME AND MATOLD 42:18 US THEY'RE LIKE, WAIT AN ININ. TAKE THIS MONEY. 42:21 THE BIBLE TELLS US FIRST TIMOTHY 6 VERSE 10 THAT THE LOVE OF 42:31 MON MONEY IS ROOT OF ALL EVIL. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE SEEING RIGHT 42:37 NOW BEING IMPLEMENTED. BEING ARE BEING PRESSURED UNDER 42:40 THIS EMPHASIS OF MONEY. ROMAN SOLDIERS WENT IN WITH A 42:47 TESTAMENT AND WENT OUT WITH A LOAD OF MONEY. 42:49 AND THEIR CONSCIENCE WAS SEARED. BUT THE ROMANS HAD THE 42:58 OPPORTUNITY. THE SOLDIERS HAD THE 42:59 OPPORTUNITY. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN COUNTRY 43:01 WHO ARE SEEING THINGS AND KNOWS GOING ON AND SOME OF THEM ARE 43:04 SPEAKING UP. WE CALL THEM WHISTLE BLOWERS AND 43:08 WE'RE TELLING US THINGS THAT ARE BEHIND THE SCENES AND WAEPBT TO 43:11 ENCOURAGE THESE PEOPLE AND THE BIBLE IS BEHIND YOU. 43:13 WHEN YOU SPEAK UP AND STAND FOR YOUR CONSCIENCE THE BIBLE IS 43:17 BEHIND YOU AND THE BIBLE WILL STAND AND GOD WILL STAND AND 43:20 VINNED DATE YOU NO MATTER WHAT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT 43:25 ANYTHING. AND GOD WILL STAND FOR YOU. 43:28 >> WE JUST HUNG OUT WITH OUR DAUGHTER AND FRIENDS JUST A 43:30 MONTH AGO AND THEY HAD THIS FUNNY SAYING, BRING SHAME BACK. 43:35 THEY WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT SHAME AS MUCH THEY WERE LIKE HOW COME 43:41 THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING ALL HE THESE THINGS AND THEY DON'T FEEL 43:46 ABOUT BAD ABOUT IT. SO OUR CONSCIENCE CAN BE QUIETED 43:57 AND WE CAN USE THAT THING, BRING SHAME BACK. 44:00 THE COOL THING IS THAT IT CAN BE RESTORED AND BECOME LOUDER AND I 44:06 THINK WE SHOULD GIVE PEOPLE HOPE ABOUT THAT. 44:09 HOW DO WE REJUVENATE OUR CONSCIENCE. 44:11 >> WELL, THAT IS WHERE WE WANT TO END. 44:14 WE WANT TO END ON A POSITIVE NOTE. 44:48 HE OFFERED HIMSELF A SPOT TO GOD AND PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE FROM 44:52 DEAD WORKS TO SERVE THE LIVING GOD. 44:54 ISN'T THAT POWERFUL? >> SO I HAD A CONSCIENCE BEFORE 45:03 I ACCEPTED CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR. BUT MY CONSCIENCE WAS BASED A 45:07 LOT ON THE PERCEPTION OF MY ROOMMATES AND SOCIETY AROUND ME 45:10 AND I WASN'T AS BAD AS THEY WERE. 45:14 I WAS JUST BETTER THAN THEY WERE. 45:16 I WAS A BETTER PERSON. I PAID MY BILLS AND I WAS 45:19 RESPONSIBLE AND I HAD A JOB AND I DIDN'T DO DRUGS OR TAKE 45:26 ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE BUT HOLY SPIRIT THERE'S A DIFFERENT LEVEL 45:29 AND STANDARD THAT GOD HAS I WASN'T AWARE OF OR CONVICTED OF 45:46 OR WHATEVER AND MY CONSCIENCE BECAME MORE SENSITIVE AND MORE 45:54 SENSITIVE TO HIS LAW. THEY BECAME A FOUNDATION THAT 46:09 CAUSED YOU TO LIVE FOR NOTHING ELSE. 46:22 IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO US THAN ANYTHING ES. 46:24 I THINK THAT HE WHAT WE SEE IN THE HIS THERE I GOING BACK TO 46:26 THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND EVEN BEFORE THAT. 46:30 TO THE FAITHFUL OF THE NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT AND REFORMERS 46:36 FAITHFUL AND DISAPPOINTMENT THEY STOOD FAST THROUGH THAT BECAUSE 46:39 THEY WERE CONSCIENTIOUSLY CONVICTED. 47:16 YOU SAID EARLIER THERE IS SCIENCE ON BOTH OTHER SIDES OF 47:19 THIS. SCIENCE IS EVOLUTION AND A WHOLE 47:21 BUNCH OF STUFF BUT THE WORD OF GOD IS REALLY CLEAR. 47:23 WHEN I GO TO THE WORD OF GOD AND I LOOK AT ADAM, I LOOK AT ADAM 47:27 WHEN HE WAS CREATED AND HE'S ONE DAY OLD. 47:35 WHAT SCIENCE TELLS ME HE'S PROBABLY 30. 47:38 SO THE BIBLE HAS TO BE THE FOUNDATION, THE BEDROCK OF ALL 47:43 SCIENCE AND SCIENCE IS 100% COMPATIBLE WITH THE WORD OF GOD 47:47 AS LONG AS YOU ALLOW IT TO BE COMPATIBLE. 48:05 THEY DIDN'T TO GIVE THE PATIENTING SOMETHING SO I THINK 48:09 THE RIGHT KIND OF MASK ESPECIALLY THE N-95'S ACTUALLY 48:13 WORK. WHAT WE SEE IS THIS IS A GREAT 48:15 WAY -- I'M SURE WE WOULD HAVE HAD -- WE TRAVELED THOUSANDS AND 48:20 THOUSANDS OF MILES ON AIRPLANES SO FAR WE HAVEN'T CAUGHT COVID 48:28 DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT IN MY SYSTEM RIGHT NOW OR WON'T 48:33 DEVELOP TOMORROW BECAUSE IT VERY WELL COULD. 48:41 I'M CONVINCED MASK WORK FROM THE SCIENCE. 48:44 I WORKED IN SURGERY FOR A LITTLE WHILE. 48:47 I TOOK AN LPN COURSE WHEN I GOT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND DID THAT 48:50 AND WORKED AT A HOSPITAL AND THE I USED TO GO IN SURGERIES WITH 48:55 HIM AND HE WE ALWAYS WORE THE MASK AND GLOVES AND THERE IS A 48:57 REASON FOR IT. SO I'M NOT -- I BELIEVE THE 49:00 SCIENCE OF MASKS. I'M JUST NOT CONVINCED ON THE 49:03 OTHER YET TO WHAT THE BENEFITS ARE. 49:07 SO AGAIN YOU WANT YOUR OWN CHOICE. 49:12 PLEASE DON'T GO AWAY SAYING YOU SHOULDN'T BE VACCINATED OR YOU 49:15 SHOULD BE VACCINATED OR ANYTHING. 49:18 IT'S NOT ABOUT WHETHER YOU SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T BE. 49:20 IT'S USING YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE TO SAY, I 49:25 CHOOSE NOT TO BE OR I CHOOSE TO. AND THEN WE HAVE NO BUSINESS 49:30 SAYING, OH SHAME ON YOU YOU TOOK THE VACCINE OR SHAME ON YOU YOU 49:34 DIDN'T. AND IS YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE. 49:39 IS IT TOO STRONG TO SAY WHAT WE ARE SEEING HAS ANNING RIGHT NOW 49:43 WITH THE MANDATES, WITH PEOPLE GIVING IN TO THOSE AND WITH 49:52 PEOPLE TURNING ON OTHERS ISN'T THAT A PER CURSER? 49:57 >> IT ABSOLUTELY IS. >> THEY TALK ABOUT IF YOU WALK 50:02 WITH A FOOT MAN HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CONTEND WITH THE HORSES 50:05 AND IN THE LAND OF PEACE YOU'RE IN TROUBLE ARE YOU GOING TO -- 50:11 WE KNOW THAT THE LITTLE THINGS COME BEFORE. 50:12 WE LOOKED AT THAT IN DANIEL. DANIEL CHAPTER 1 CAME BEFORE 50:18 CHAPTER 3 AND 6 AND CHAPTER ONE HAD TO BE A TEST. 50:22 SO WE AS CHRISTIANS WE HAVE THE BIBLE AS OUR GUIDE AND NEED IT. 50:28 WE PT TOUCHED ON MATTHEW 24. WE'RE IN STAGE NUMBER 11. 50:33 IT'S ALMOST LIKE READING THE NEWSPAPER WHEN YOU READ MATTHEW 50:36 CHAPTER 24 TODAY AND THE FIRST FEW VERSUS UP TO VERSE 10. 50:55 THEY'RE GOING TO BE ANOINTED AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN RELIGIOUS BUT 50:58 MEANS THEY'RE ANOINTED MEANING THEY ARE IN A POSITION OF 51:02 AUTHORITY. AND THIS THEY'RE GOING TO BE 51:04 TELLING YOU THESE PEOPLE THINGS THAT AREN'T NECESSARILY RIGHT. 51:09 AND WE GOT TO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT FROM AT LEAST FROM THE WORD 51:13 OF GOD WHAT IS THE BEST THING TO DO NOW. 51:16 WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT VACCINATIONS RIGHT NOW SO PEOPLE 51:19 HAVE DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT WE KNOW ABOUT COERCION AND 51:22 WE KNOW ABOUT MANDATES AND THAT VERY CLEAR. 51:27 WE SHOULD NOT BE PART OF OR SUPPORTING ANY KIND OF COERCION 51:31 AGAINST PEOPLE'S CONSCIENTIOUS CONVICTIONS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT 51:35 COMES TO USING ISOLATION AND IS FEAR, USING MONETARY AND 51:42 IMPRISONMENT THE ALL THESE THINGS ARE WRONG. 51:47 >> WE'RE SAYING IF YOU LOOK AT CHRISTIANITY SUPPOSEDLY IN THE 51:52 DARK AGES IT WAS ALL ABOUT COERCION. 51:54 YOU DO WHAT I SAY OR I'LL KILL YOU OR BURN YOU AT THE STAKE. 52:01 WHEN TRUE CHRISTIANITY WOULD SAY TO ME I DON'T AGREE WITH 52:05 SAME-SEX LAW BUT I'M NOT TRYING TO ENFORCE SOMEBODY TO NOT DO 52:09 IT. SAY YOU CAN'T -- BUT IT'S MY 52:11 RESPONSIBILITY TO SAY ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE THIS IS WRONG. 52:20 COVETING IS KNOW WROTE. BUT I'M NOT THEIR CONSCIENCE SO 52:27 MY JOB IS TO PUT IT OUT THERE AND LET THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DO 52:31 THE NURTURING. I DON'T CONDEMN PEOPLE WHO ARE 52:37 HOMOSEXUALS. I DON'T THINK SOMEBODY SHOULD BE 52:38 BEATING THEM OVER THE HEAD BECAUSE THAT TAKES AWAY THEIR 52:44 CHOICE. GOD CREATED US WHERE HE GAVE US 52:47 WE'RE COULSOVEREIGN AND MAKE OUR OWN CHOICES. 52:52 DO I AGREE WITH IT? NO. 52:55 BUT STILL YET I'M GLAD I'M ABLE TO SPEAK ALL THESE YEARS. 53:05 TO ME TRUE CHRISTIANITY IS AGAIN, I CAN'T FORCE ANYBODY AND 53:10 SHOULDN'T BE FORCING SOMEBODY TO DO. 53:13 MY JOB IS TO PLANT THE SEED AND SAY GOD IS LOVE AND IF GOD IS 53:17 LOVE ARE WE GOING T PROTECT HUMAN LIVES OR TAKE IT? 53:21 GOD CREATED US ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN. 53:25 WITHOUT THAT, THAT WOULD BE THE END OF THE STORY. 53:27 WE WOULDN'T BE AROUND. IF THAT WHAT PEOPLE WANT DO I'M 53:43 NOT OUT TO CONDEMN THEM OR SAY TERRIBLE THINGS ABOUT THEM. 53:46 IT HE NOT MY JOB. MY JOB IS TO LOVE PEOPLE NO 53:49 MATTER WHO THEY ARE AND SAY, HEY, YOU DON'T TO HAVE BEEN LIKE 53:52 ME FOR ME TO LOVE YOU BECAUSE WHEN JESUS -- HE SAID, I BE 53:57 LIFTED UP WHEN I'M LIFTED UP FROM THE ARMS. 54:02 SO OUR JOB AS CHRISTIANS IS NOT TO BE PART OF THE COERCION AND 54:06 NOT TO FORCE OR GUILT TRIPS OR REALLY -- REALLY BOTHERS ME IS 54:13 THAT PEOPLE SAY WELL IF YOU DON'T LIVE FOR JESUS, HE DIED 54:18 FOR YOU AND MADE SALVATION FOR YOU OH BY THE WAY IF YOU DON'T 54:24 SERVE GOD HE'LL TORTURE YOU THROUGHOUT THE EONS OF ETERNITY. 54:29 SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. 54:35 HELL FIRE. IT WASN'T FROM THE BIBLE BUT 54:39 BEGAN AS COERCION. SO AS CHRISTIANS IT'S OUR 54:43 OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEALTHY AND HAPPY AND SHARE WITH PEOPLE WHAT 54:46 THE TRUTH IS AND LET THEM DECIDE WHAT TO DO. 54:49 ROMANS CHAPTER 1 TELS US THAT ALL OF US ARE SINNERS. 54:54 WHATEVER LEVEL THAT IS, WHETHER IT'S HOMOSEXUALITY OR DISOBEYING 55:00 YOUR PARENTS, ALL THAT COMES UNDER THE SAME CATEGORY. 55:03 SOMETIMES WE WANT TO SPECIALIZE SINS. 55:05 WELL THAT'S A BAD THING RIGHT THERE BUT ME BEING A GOSSIPER 55:09 THAT'S NOT SUCH A BAD THING. THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T CONDEMN 55:14 OTHERS. WE'RE ALL SINNERS SAVED BY 55:16 GRACE. SOME PEOPLE HAVE CHOSEN TO 55:18 BECOME -- SOME PEOPLE HAVE CHOSEN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE 55:22 CHILDREN OF OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. 55:25 THERE A LOT OF CHILDREN THAT AREN'T ACKNOWLEDGED IN THAT AND 55:30 THE BIBLE SAYS THEY'RE LIVING IN DENIAL OF THEIR ADOPTION. 55:33 THEIR CREATION AND ADOPTION. SO WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME 55:39 CATEGORY BUT WE NEED TO HONOR INDIVIDUAL CHOICE. 55:52 I THINK THAT'S WHY YOU MENTION THE THE DARK AGES. 55:55 PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO DIE RATHER THAN GIVING UP VIOLATING THEIR 56:03 CONSCIENCE. FOR US TO REALIZE HOW PRECIOUS 56:08 IT IS AND HOW INTIMATE GOD WANTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH ONE OF 56:12 US IS AMAZING. >> CLOSING THOUGHTS? 56:14 >> THIS HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE 56:18 BLESSED BY IT AND WE PRAY THAT YOUR CONSCIENCE WILL BE RENEWED 56:23 AND RESTORED THROUGH IT. >> IS WE DIDN'T REALLY PROMOTE 56:28 OR PUSH THE TAKING QUESTIONS BECAUSE WE HAD SO MUCH TO COVER. 56:31 BUT FEEL FREE. YOU CAN WRITE TO 3ABN AND 56:35 ADDRESS JAMES AND RICE AND I'M SURE THEY'LL ANSWER YOUR 56:38 QUESTIONS HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO IT. 56:40 E-MAIL IT OR WHAT HAVE YOU AND AS TIME GOES ON. 56:43 . BUT WE'RE SO THANKFUL YOU ALL 56:44 ARE HERE AND TRAVELING BACK AND FORTH FROM CALIFORNIA TO 3ABN 56:49 BUT WE LOVE IT WHEN YOU'RE HERE AND WE APPRECIATE AND RESPECT 56:55 WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN YOUR LIFE AND FOR YOU AT HOME WE LOVE YOU 56:59 TOO. OUR TIME IS ALL GONE FOR TODAY. 57:01 UNTIL WE SEE YOU NEXT TIME MAY THE LORD RICHLY BLESS YOU 57:05 ABUNDANTLY ASK FOR. |
