19 - "Spiritual Vigilantes" – Danny Shelton- SCM 2017

[Music] you [Music] welcome to 3abn spring campaigning 2014 exposing the counterfeits thank you for coming thank you for those of you at home for joining us and what a privilege it is to be in ministry in the closing moments of Earth's history I mean isn't it a blessing to think about it we are living in the last generations of the entire planet Earth this is amazing to me that when Jesus was on the cross we were on his mind I think about it Lord why me why you why us but he could look down the stream of time and see of people that would be willing to give their lives unto death it's necessary for the cause of God and he said you know what I'm gonna give you an opportunity I'm gonna give you a chance so here we're living in a day that a camp-meeting and while we've got a great crowd the only since this place is packed and praise the Lord for that and for the viewers that are watching literally around the world we say hello and welcome to 3abn this signal goes up my microwave goes up to satellite 22,000 300 miles to space somebody with me awful quiet today are you just thinking about that we have to comprehend that for a moment some your older folk I'm one of them I'm one of y'all now right guy said I are one so twenty two thousand three hundred miles to space at the speed of light anybody know what speed of light is 186,000 200 miles per second now really that's beyond we can't know that right I mean they're scientists who do I have to take the word for that their word for that how do I know but standing right here West Frankfort Thompson Valerius Southern Illinois this property was just a farm land only 20-some years ago standing right here I can literally speak to the whole world at the speed of light twenty-two thousand three hundred miles to space hit a satellite go from that satellite to across the thousands of miles across the space to another satellite to another satellite something like nine satellites bouncing from one to the other coming down in places like Israel going back up to the teleports down and back up literally around the world and it all happens probably in about three seconds three seconds up around the world down into the homes we used to say down into homes now we can say down into our cell phone three avians on cell phone on iPads there are so many internet around the world most of us growing up we wouldn't even a dreamed of technology like the internet I wouldn't have did you I'm so thankful and I hope you are too to be alive in these closing moments of Earth's history and I hope that you're not just spinning your wheels or in a rut my life Molly always says the rudder is nothing more than a grave with two ends open you're not going anywhere right you're in a rut so we want to be part of the goal ye into all the world and the Adventist Church came out I mean on fire for Jesus didn't it these youth started a movement that was different than anything the world had seen and they said you know what we're going to stick to the Bible and Bible only no matter what anybody else says we're not going to be influenced we're not going to be they didn't probably know this word at the time politically correct we are going to do what God says and his word to do we're going to study to show ourselves approved and people from all denominations came together and began to study the Word of God and said wait a minute here's some truth let's put this over here oh here's some more true so let's put pull this over here Wow we haven't heard this being preached let's put this and in the end result seventh-day Adventist Church seventh-day it was new to many many people though it's been from the beginning of time God rested the seventh day from all his work at creation but Satan comes along and he puts blinders on her eyes he gets us distracted and here we are thousands of years later since creation of man and there's a movement seventh-day Adventist they believe in the soon coming of the Lord Jesus Christ a literal physical second coming of Jesus Christ how many believe that today how many really believe that today how many of us are willing to raise their hand if we know God's listening ok what a few of you are that's good sometimes I go up and then I'm down a little bit and then I decide well yes and well Lord you know my heart you know but in our frailties God loves us and in our weak moments God loves us because they I know there's no reason that I should be up front of people talking to the world I don't have any background there's nothing I do I graduated high school I only did I made pretty good grades the only reason I did because my dad said you better make good grades drum on a beat you basically I know you can't say that's kind of stuff anymore but I knew his heart and we got we got whoopin so we didn't get spankings we didn't get whippings we got hopings if you don't know the difference how many know the difference okay a bunch of you our folks went to the same school didn't it because because we got slippin so I made pretty good great he said you better release make a be average well that's what I would do just to get through high school but other than that all I wanted to do to get out of high school I wanted to get a new car I said we were raised poor I'm gonna get a job and get me a new car that's really what I was focused on I didn't think about going to college one time and I told the story before I won't go through it all but when I finally said that I think I'm going to go to college he said son that's what I like about you you're always joking now the trouble was he wasn't joking so I never really thought about it anymore because so I didn't so my brother and I we got in our family we started in construction and had there was a carpenter for many years until the Lord called me to one night in November 1984 build a television station that will reach the world with an undiluted three angels messages one that would counteract the counterfeit I had no idea what that meant I really didn't I actually had to study to see what seven-date we seventh-day Adventist my mother became an Adventist the year I was born in 1951 and I had to study to really see what the three angels I could argue with you about the Sabbath and the state of the Dead I mean I could I could put on when I was a kid in grade school rickover used to say confessions good for the soul yet hard on the reputation I'd be arguing with some kid in class and fourth fifth grade about the Sabbath and so I bring my Bible I tell him you bring your Bible school I went to public school and if he didn't see it after I showed it to him I invited him outside with settlers but still this thing we can't sell it one way we're going to settle it another way so I never was very big but I was always too spunky I guess so that's you know how kids do right well aren't you glad that sometimes we grow out of some of those things but in the sight of God we're still just babies we're still just babies aren't you glad that he winks at the time of ignorance but you and I have a responsibility that no other generation has ever had the devil knows that his time is short there's been something called political correctness since the beginning of time since the beginning since the fall of man I should say political correctness that just hasn't gone by that name it goes by different colors and different cloths and different generations but it's always been there here's point number one political correctness is one of Satan's all-time greatest cons anybody know what it con is with conman I mean let me ask you something bout a conman have you ever met a conman you didn't like and somebody answer me have you ever met a conman you didn't like that's why he's a conman right he can sell you anything doesn't make any difference and even though you know he's not being truthful with you you still kind of like you say that guy I like he's a good old boy and he's just calling you to death I had a guy come to me guy that I've known for a long time and he said Danny he's Christian man Danny I'm selling insurance now this is the best insurance that I have ever seen now you know me you know me a long time I wouldn't sell you a bill of goods well I happen to know that some others heed so bill of goods to before but I still still like the guy we play ball together and stuff but he said I'm telling you this is the best insurance that I have ever seen I've been in insurance this is one if I want to sell you it's after Melody's mother had passed away and melody melody and I were together he said I want to sell your policy for you and melody you need some what if something happens to you melody needs insurance and boy that we've got right to my heart right wouldn't you absolutely she needs to be taken care of and I said well I do have some insurance but this is so much better and I said well how's it better well this because insurance the time you can only cover 80% I don't any of you remember that don't know what it is today but this is what I'm doing I'm with this new company we sell you one policy for 80% and then we sell you another one for 20% I said what you're a hundred percent covered I said for what for anything I so I'm headed to California right now we were going to go out to TBN his Christian Network 3abn wasn't even existence about a year before that California melody was invited to go out and sing so we were headed out there and I said well I might well what if I something happens and I we have to go to emergency room 100% covered oh great I need this insurance so I bought it I got to Little Rock Arkansas and I'd been having eye troubles I'd had a cornea transplant sometime before and my I just I don't know what went wrong with but I stopped went to emergency room and the time I got to New Mexico I had to stop again and I didn't care I said I'm going to go I don't care what cause I got this insurance cart and it's going to cover everything this is so great I get home a few weeks later I get these big bills and the insurance company paid $12 both both policies covered $12 out of a thousand or two now did not have it out I mean that's huge money I did not have a thousand or two so I called him up I don't want to give his name he may be watching I still love you though they'll love you I called him up and I said I can't believe it something's wrong I got the bills from those emergency room stops at several thousand dollars and the insurance company only paid 12 you got to help me you got to pay I said you told me it will cover everything he said you know what I did and I tell you what and that's what I found out myself and I'm gonna come over I'm with a new company and it's better because he was going to tell me another policy after that he said I found out the same thing you did well anyway now I'm going to get back to see I keep going to where I'm comfortable Yvonne you say I'm going where I'm comfortable Jason because I don't want to go back to this but I'm going to have to political correctness is one of Satan's all-time greatest cons now here's what I wrote down today political correctness celebrates sin by making it appear that embracing tolerance and inclusiveness is more important than being ethical moral righteous and holy I'm not going to read that again but I want you to think about it so I said well I want to look up the word inclusiveness so I went to the dictionary it says broad and orientation or scope broader nor so everything inclusive that's just everything's okay let's bring it in and the world's always been doing that but the trouble is the church has been doing that the church is being doing that but it comes in a cover that makes you the bad guy the hater as they say if you're not inclusive and tolerant they might know what I'm talking about or is it just alright you do really because you're the bad guy when you try to uphold pillars of the church and that's what happens sometimes a parent will say to me and I've had them say I'm sure you have too they say well I see myself is a you know tolerant parent you know what that really says to me your kid is my kid is out of control and I don't know how to stop it because that's what he said well I'm just very tolerant so being tolerant and inclusive this is what political correctness is all about and what it does political correctness puts itself above the law of God but it does it in a package that makes you the bad guy if you if you stand up to it so I've seen it so people say but we should be inclusive we should be tolerant and I agree with that to an extent but for all of those who say we we have to be embrace everybody we have to be inclusive we have to be tolerant there's a lot of things we shouldn't how about for instance let me give you some examples how many things that we should be inclusive intolerant of the KKK and one of be members well why not because we're everybody said well you should embrace everything gay people I embrace my gayness I embrace it and people should be tolerant I agree we should be tolerant doesn't mean I endorse it put my stamp of approval means we love the people right but we don't bring them into our churches right and and put them in positions of leadership for our children to emulate so here we have it so I can look at other things so I don't want to get because today it seems like I'm going to do some black and white stuff and that's what I didn't want to get into I said I'm not touching that I've been around a long time I'm not going to be touching that black and white thing so I'll do the same thing how many of us would think we should tolerate and that we should include be inclusive when it comes to the Black Panthers not too many hands are going to go up why because their mo their mission and the focus is not that of those of us who are Christians now doesn't mean they don't do good things any of the organizations somebody told me where the KKK gives collects glasses and gives it away to people can't read I said that's good where'd they get two glasses I need to say any more political correctness has been around for a long time it just comes in different colors of cloth think about it it just comes in different colors of cloth now here's what I'm going to go to the part that I really don't want to go to but I'm going to during slavery in America it was legally and politically correct for Christians to own human beings that could be bought beat beaten sold traded or even raped and murdered Christians people claim to be Christians bought sold traded rape beat did whatever they wanted to with other human beings did you know for a period of time in America it was legal to kill American Indians it was legal to kill American Indians I did a little bit of research and was doing a lot of it and and during the night yet the law of God and the law of the United States of America says that all men are created equal some of the founding fathers some of the people who wrote this owned slaves and were big proponents of killing Indians Wow I'm I named a couple names Andrew Jackson 7 president was a wealthy slave owner nicknamed Indian killer and sharp knife okay Andrew Jackson was also the founder of the Democratic Party according to Bertram Wyatt Brown Andrew Jackson was not only a gentle saito maniac against the indigenous people of the southwest he was also racist against African peoples and a man who violated nearly every standard of justice yet he became President of the United States there was a time in our history not that long ago that you could go around with the name of Christian and you could own slaves and sell him and train him and beat him or kill him and Indians and do what you want and yet you walked around respected Christian people you might have framed the words that all men are created equal there's nothing nothing equal about that was it nothing equal I think we can all agree that slavery was of the devil that is anybody having trouble with that if not maybe you want to try it yourself for betting I think you you'll agree that there's something wrong with it but see what's wrong it was considered Lee Lee legal ethical and morally right by thousands of white Christian slave owners but there's something wrong with that white Christian slave owners could that be there's something wrong with that term with slave owners but no one was standing up and Christian people weren't standing up talking against slavery even them in the beginning of our own church many the church leaders wouldn't deal with it they didn't want to deal with it well we're going to move on and part of it may be because some of it wasn't politically correct you're starting new organizations whether it be a church whether it be anything else you want to be careful because you're trying to grow and get support so you have to be careful about what you do so if I ask you a question I wrote it down would you agree that no Christian including SDA Christians would or should support such deception that is socially and morally corrupt would you agree to that why because it is rebelling against the Ten Commandment law of God right this is rebellion against the Ten Commandment law to take someone else and enslave them and treat them as animals now is anybody disagree with that all right some of your quiet your turn is coming to so we're going to come around here I'm going to go so now let me jump ahead 150 years I'm going to see if you're still in such agreement with me I'm going to jump ahead 150 years later and that's what I didn't want to talk about but I'm going to there's a group and you've heard the name black lives matter many Christians including Stas support and march in solidarity with this group now how do I know that how do I know that because I read your Facebook post I read your Twitter post I'm on it don't spend a lot of time on it but I see Christians and seventh-day Adventist Christians going back and forth mostly black and white putting all of this out for the public for the world to see it's like I can talk about anything I want to this brother and and it's not going to have a negative impact on my Christianity or my faith so we get on and we argue about all of this so here we have black lives matter during the last election Democrat Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders stated in one of his speeches that all lives matter now according to the Bible for God so loved the world he gave His only begotten Son right whosoever believeth in him should not perish but all should have everlasting life according to the Bible I think that all lives matter yet his speech was interrupted by protesters and liberal media gave it so much attention that he went publicly and apologized and said he was sorry that all eyes mattered that he said that now do you think you really believe that or do you think he was trying to be politically correct I don't have to answer that I think you will now I understand the concept well as to why many Christians want to support such a vocal group and an active group and protecting civil rights of many Americans I don't have a problem with that I agree that everyone's civil rights should be protected we all agree to that everybody so I said you know what I try to be fair I try to be fair to everybody I'm co-founder dare to dream network and if you don't know some news already you'll find out about it later that makes me really closely connected you can think about that yourself for a minute or maybe put it out of your mind for a bit but I'm very well aware of the situation that's going on today but that is creeping into the church so I said well you know what I'm fair I want to be fair and I believe that we should speak up not only should we speak up about when any one civil rights are being taken from them I think we ought to be vocal we should stand up I think it's um it's a sin not to say anything as Christians we are to uphold the law of God and the law of God says that all men are created equal not to mention the United States of America adopted that but I said well maybe I want to join life black lives matter I'm fair I agree I hear them saying man lives matter I'm going to I'm going to go to the website now the reason I'm bringing this up is because I have read all of your facebook posts many of you and I'm talking to you out there as well about the I'm going to call it arguments because that's what they turn into between members of our own church arguing on public platforms about black lives matter whether it is support it not to support it and people defending it and people against it so I said why don't I go to the black lives matter website because I don't believe about talking about anybody unless they have righteous to hear their side so I said well why don't I go to the website there's about two o'clock this morning some of you said wish you'd went to bed I went I went and slept it off I went to the website and so I'm going to tell you what it says here's what I found and I quote we are committed black lives matter we are committed to fostering a queer affirming Network when we gather we do so with the intention of freeing our selves from the tight grip of the heteronormative thinking or rather the belief that all in this world are unless it says all in this world are heterosexual unless he or she or they disclose otherwise it goes on to say we are committed to fostering a queer affirming network that black lives matters and this is what I'm going to say now I'm going to get off of that it's pretty easy to understand that black lives matters endorses does anybody doubt the black lives matters endorses the homosexual community I mean I'm not saying that I'm just telling you what I just read if you don't believe it you look it up yourself so it's easy to understand they don't really believe in the creation story and one man and one woman the ceremony that God put together am i right now some of you are really happy while ago while I was talking about the first half you're not so happy now and I know just about this time people want to start throwing stones at the messenger so it tells me that when people say things we like to hear we're happy about it when things we don't like to hear and that's where the devil is a con man that's why that's why the devil has an advantage for most of us unless we keep our eyes and all of us unless we keep our eyes focused on the Lord now let's look more closely at black lives matters website trans gent quote transgender affirming that's the heading we are committed to embracing and making space for trans brothers and sisters to participate and lead we are committed to being self reflexive and doing the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift black trans folk especially black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by antagonistic violence now let me ask you is there anything in these statements that a Christian can endorse I hear about half of you saying no is there anything in that as a Christian or seventh-day Adventist Christian we can endorse remember Satan's latest greatest strategy is to get people to embrace sin by glorifying it as inclusive and tolerant that's his mode of operation today and our generation make everybody inclusive one last statement black lives matters website straight men unintentionally or intentionally have taken the work of queer black women and erased our contributions perhaps if we were the charismatic black men many are rallying around these days it would have been a different story but being black queer women in this society and apparently within these movements tends to equal invisibility and non relevancy does anything about that that Christian wants to sign on with I didn't think so there wasn't when we talked about KKK while ago either right or the Black Panther so we're trying to go both ways we're trying to see what the devil the trap that he has set because he conquers and device he divides and conquers is what he does am i telling the truth and yet we get involved in it we were eating he puts a little feet out there and we're eating it we get ourselves immersed in all of this and we want to get offended about everything somebody said who is that sup here preaching and said I'm glad God changes us because when we get to heaven if he didn't somebody say would you just say about me and you know and that's the way we'd be we'd be offended all the time the sad reality is many of you will draw a line in the sand right now and we'll throw stones at the message rather than listen to the truth so it's amazing to me that when we say things that we endorse and that we like or feels good that we support it but when we win it doesn't now we're not so sure we want to stick to the Word of God so what I'm trying to do is is bring out truth and get us to thinking I want to agitate you this morning I have to tell the truth I want to agitate your minds today to get you to thinking do I want to endorse groups like the KKK absolutely not do I want to endorse black lives matters from what their website says they're all about I don't either one I don't either one does this mean that individuals should not care about dares and other civil rights absolutely not is it okay to be vocal I wrote down against discrimination against any individual because they're his or her genetics it's not it's not okay ever right it's not only okay to stand up for others human rights I think it's the duty of every Christian to be a voice crying in the wilderness when we see somebody's civil rights being violated we can't be silent we have to stand up so it doesn't make a difference if you're black white red yellow black white as the song says we support all people because God created all of us we all have what color blood we all have red blood and as every generation goes by it's more and more mixed blood right more and more mixed blood Satan knows the race card is being played on both sides of the coin in this country because he's the original instigator of all this strife between us so there's what I say in anyway and I wrote this down I didn't want to forget it this is what I say in anyway negates the fact that black lives matter do matter in the world today no it does not the Bible says all lives matter I give you this illustration on purpose today and you know why number one I know that it's not politically correct and number two do I really care that it's not politically correct no I don't and you know why because I'm going to love you enough to tell you the truth and that's the problem today we have too many people too many preachers too many leaders too many Christians who won't love you enough to tell you the truth I have to go back too many years ago I got a phone call some of you've heard this from Olay i'ma get comfortable now I'm getting away from this thing got a phone call from a lady and she had to talk to me one to talk to me I talked to her and she said I love 3abn I love what I've learned and it's so wonderful it's changed my entire life and I want to join the seventh-day Adventist Church my problem is I'm 78 years old I'm in a wheelchair and I can't really go do anything but I'm so grateful I've been Catholic all my life but I never developed a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ till lately through watching 3abn and I'm so thankful to God and I want to be saved but I have hard feelings against my neighbors not on how to get rid of that she said could should I talk to you about it and I said well being from Catholic background I'm going to say no so I said well you don't need to come to me she said - oh she said do I need to confess it I said no no you don't confess to me you fest - the creator confessed to the creator god the universe but I found out she was wanting some advice she said Noah I really want your advice I don't I have these hard feelings and I don't know how to get over can I talk to you guys I said yes she said well my neighbors are seventh-day Adventist now you all may think it's funny but when you talk to the 78 year old lady in a wheelchair and she's telling you that my heart sank so I said oh home so I thought maybe the dog run across her lawn and left a few droppings along the way did something to upset her so I said well can I ask you why is it so bad why is there feeling so bad that you think this is separating you and God in this relationship you know what she said she said for 24 years we've been neighbors 24 years ago I had great help I had a lot of energy I was Catholic there Seventh day Adventists were great neighbors and as even as I got older and I'm not able to get out in the last 10 to 15 years these neighbors they'll bring me groceries their little boy will come over and they'll help me when I need help they're wonderful neighbors but the reason I'm so upset is they never love me enough to tell me the truth they never loved me enough to tell me the truth now instead of being able to go up and down the neighborhood talking to everybody telling them about Jesus telling you about the new truths that I've learned about God's law I'm by myself in a wheelchair with very few friends and no way to reach anybody and tell the world and I resent them for doing that folks you don't want you don't want people feeling that way about you do you jesus says go into all the world Matthew 28:18 to 20 and this did you realize and just occurred to me Pastor John this is the first generation on planet Earth that individually can take the gospel to the world what I mean by that we've already talked about it some did you know you can go on a thing called Facebook and you can make a statement and get millions of hits instantly people sing that around the world one person can literally reach millions of people millions of people that's at your touch anybody you don't have to be a preacher teacher you don't have to be anybody in particular you can go on the internet and the whole world can hear you how much more responsible does that was God's going to hold us accountable if we don't get the gospel out if we spend all of our time on these networks arguing with each other standing up for this group and running this group down during the political election I was so ashamed I was so ashamed of our brothers and sisters Christians in general but including us who got on would argue about Clinton or Trunk people who disliked Donald Trump hate him they don't just like him people who dislike don't was against Hillary didn't dislike her they hated her and that hate and that vengeance comes out on Christians on media that reaches millions of people folks I was going to waste their time worrying about all this stuff is God in control or is he not in control why do I have to worry about it what happens all I know is people said all boy Donald Trump he's going to bring in the the National Sunday law this is terrible this is the I don't know if that's so terrible or not is it if it's got to happen before Jesus comes somebody's got to bring it in will will be he will he be part of that I don't know he might be but I do know on the other hand had Hillary gotten in I wouldn't be able to say to you today what I've just said because you can go back to her April 15 2015 video where she says talking to abortion rights people and gay rights religions when I get elected religions with all of their age-old theology we'll have to move over to make room and to be to include same-sex and abortion so whoever gets in it's no picnic so neither one might be the choice right if I were voting for president I'd vote for Yvonne Yvonne over here that's what I'd go for I know her I know that woman I know where her heart is I know how much she loves the Lord I'd vote for you if you run for president I'm voting for you Jason if you run her sons you run for president vice president I'll vote for you too right so but why do we get so involved in all of this stuff that we can't even hardly talk to each other as seventh-day Adventist Christians the world doesn't need to hear this you can turn on all the media you can turn on conservative you can turn on the liberal you can turn on all of this and you're going to hear all of that stuff jesus said go ye into all the world our greatest asset Ellen White says as our own personal testimony of what God has done for us I think it's an unbelievable almost unbelievable time to be living in Earth's history but you know what we're also going to be held at most accountable to much is given much is required am I telling the truth now I'm going to spend in the last several minutes I wrote a few more things down I'm convinced the reason the Lord impressed me one of the reasons to write this book I wrote a new book is called spiritual vigilantes how many of you have it here please go home and read it but this is a book that when you you read it the books shelling I wrote Ten Commandments twice-removed there's over 10 million in print and in numerous we don't even know how many languages around the world has been translated we've seen thousands and thousands of lives change we give God the credit for that and Shelley God and Shelley because I did very little and I wrote stuff that Shelley would rewrite it and it's better than what I could do so I said let's do it my name is still on it but most of your sin Shelley what she wrote but I agreed with it you know I agreed with it but that book was let's give this to the world let's get this out and tell the world the truth because people believe that you don't have to keep all the commandments of God you just have to keep nine just nine Commandments you don't have to keep ten commandments you keep 9 so Adventists we are bold when it comes to telling people you're going to church wrong day of the week I can prove it to you now anymore I don't say let's go out and settle it I'm too old for that if you don't agree with me I don't attempt that anymore that's for sure but we have these books going out but this time it's different spiritual vigilantes all that means is vigilantes are people who put themselves above the law they know what the law says but they put themselves becomes judge judge jury and executioner right but a spiritual vigilante is someone who attempts to change the law of God whether it's groups like slave masters whether it's black lives matter whether it's the gay and lesbian community whether it's John Dolmayan you seventh-day Adventist Church member or other Christian we at times put ourselves above the law of God when you do that you are a ten said in God's place and I will tell you you're not going to get there it will never happen the attempts have been made Satan has been doing it since the fall of man since he fell from heaven and he's never going to accomplish that so that's why I like on the book on inside and on what we've had up here we see attempts at destroying God's law but you can't do it man can attend can't destroy something that he didn't come up with right that he didn't create so this book is different in this way I want it to go and felt compelled that we read it ourselves because it's hitting some politically incorrect may I say subjects that we as the church don't want to get out we don't want to talk about it you know why because we've been affected by it now I'm going to go quickly through a few things same-sex marriage is law of the land but it's not the law of God now again do we love gay people absolutely we all know somebody I'm sure that is gay and is this sin to to be born with the tendency or to have a tendency to want to be with someone of the same sex no it's not it's not it's not a tent Christ was tempted in all things we're tempted in all things so for me to sit here and judge somebody because that's not my nature not to where I was it's not I'm not blaming somebody or saying it's sin because someone has an attraction but where this where the sin comes in is when we follow through on what seems to be our natural sense honest so as they they use the term straight man and many of you I hope all of you are but is it a straight man that that we have a tendency towards women women you have a tendency towards manner you wouldn't be together and that's natural that's what God created and that's what he did in the Garden of Eden right is for man and woman to be together but if a man is not faithful to his wife that's called adultery so am and who has a literally within us tendencies from we're young we get with one woman one wife and that's that's what we do it's a sin so adulteries is biggest sin as this same-sex relationships right so I'm not here preaching o against the gays and against same-sex marriage I'm not that's not my job to do people have to decide what they want to do but my responsibility and your responsibility is to uphold the law of God especially when it comes into our homes and into our churches so we do have to take a stand because it's breaking of the seventh commandment now how do I know this because again I watched on Facebook now we'll give you a couple of statistics here what would you think if I told you that nearly 50% of Christian youth surveyed in academies and colleges in America have stated this is actual figures they don't see a problem with same-sex marriage now I might be ashamed to tell you which church this survey was taken so I'm not going to what if I told you there are seventh-day Adventist ministers who are asking conference leaders if they can now baptize gay members into the church since it's now law of the land what if I told you I have seen gay colors that represent the LGBTQ community on Facebook pages of Christian pastors and I won't even tell you the name of the denomination because y'all might be ashamed what if I told you that I've seen a video of a Christian Church that invited a gay club choir to come and put on their Christmas program at their church and gave them all kinds of pastor gave them all kinds of accolades but I'm not even going to tell you what kind of church or what denomination it was because I think you'd all be ashamed I'm not going to tell you that right what if I told you that I've seen interviews of Christian pastors who are coming out of the closet as they say embracing their gayness now you can live in a bubble if you want to and say well this doesn't affect our church you can do that if you want to but let me tell you something if you can't stand up against that let me one more thing quickly here what about abortion when have you heard a sermon lately and from your church and from our church leaders and pastors and members about abortion abortion is just as much a sin today as it was ever was right is it one of the Ten Commandments thou shalt not murder so how can we were reluctant to call sin what it is when it comes to abortion and same-sex marriage because we've been caught up in political correctness it is brought in little at a time and now we don't want people because to be offended at us here's I'm going to make you both statement because I'm getting ready leaving two minutes we're going to be offstage if I need to I got a car waiting is motor running all right so don't try and catch me but but but I'm going to I'm going to make some statements here I don't believe that we have any rights any right as a seventh-day Adventist Christian to tell people that they're not keeping God's commandments when we are embracing some of the other Commandments the sins of some of the other career embracing same-sex marriage and abortion some some young person praise the Lord some some young person they call themselves Millennials I don't know what I thought millennium was old but they said it's young so the the Millennials told me how can you dare put the Sabbath in the same context as abortion abortion is murder everybody knows that if I'm guilty of breaking a commandment he says I want to break the Sabbath not kill babies that's a powerful statement it's something I ponder not thought about you know what I think I might agree with him here come to one or the other and I'm going to break a commandment I think I would rather break the Sabbath then I would kill innocent victims kill kill babies but that's not my choice my choice is I can keep all the commandments of God but if I'm not keeping all the commandments of God I have no business harping to you that you're not keeping the commandment of God because any of us who place ourselves above the law God or spiritual vigilantes I got to quit y'all went from happy and sad now you're looking upset at me lord I told you I didn't want to talk about this what if I told you that the largest family family is a largest owner of abortion clinics in America is a Christian family I will not tell you what denomination they belong to many of you will be ashamed and upset and members in good standing of a church in 2001 I wrote a book called The Forgotten commandment just 16 years late now which one was I talking about fourth commandment 77 if I wrote that book today I would have to entitle it they're forgotten Commandments with the nests because in 16 years time what I never dreamed possible would happen has happened because it's coming into this church full force and we are so blind because whether it's our ethnicity whether it's our culture whether it's whatever we're putting the law of God to the side and we're joining in fitting in with everyone else now we look like everybody else the Lord said build a television station that will reach the world with an undiluted three angels messages one that would counteract the counterfeit and I got to thinking about it no other Church on earth gives the three angels messages so why would I be impressed of three angels messages that counteracts the counterfeit because I believe now in these closing moments of Earth's history we are being diluted and it's a choice by the people I'm not blaming the leaders not the leaders alone I'm blaming each of us the silence of Christians the silence of seventh-day Adventist Christians when we see people in our churches embracing in the name of tolerance and being inclusive sin we have to stand up we have to tell the world where we stand that doesn't mean that any of us are perfect we're not and I'm the first one to tell you I've had many problems in my life I thank God that I have a savior that when I fell I can come to and he'll forgive me for my sins and if any of you think you're not in that same position as me I would suggest you drop to your knees right now because every one of you the Bible says for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God so I'm not up here throwing stones because I don't agree with this group and I don't agree with this group and they're not like me all I'm telling you is as the seventh-day Adventist Church and his members when we tell the world that we are to embrace God's law they were not nailed to the cross that they're in effect from the beginning of creation throughout all eternity all flesh will come to worship before me set the Lord right his holy day will be keeping the Sabbath in eternity and when I want to go tell people about that but I'm afraid to tell them or I find myself accepting and inviting gay clubs and communities to come and putting head elders what if I told you I've seen a head elder that's a transgender and a church or Christian Church I'm not going to tell you what denomination was because you'll be ashamed but dresses in women's clothes wears all kinds of jewelry has a man's voice and the head elder of the church what does that do to the kids somebody tell me all right I'm getting worn out and we're getting worn out we're going to have to quit because you can almost get depressed but you don't get depressed what you say is we can sit down we can be quiet and watch this church fall or appear to fall because God's church is going through by the way but it may not be what we see today when I was in Cambodia and I mentioned this once before I was in Cambodia about 1214 years ago I was with the McNeeley families we went in in a beautiful church the church was made out of bamboo and thatch there's a beautiful church you know why that had probably 200 the most beautiful people smiling faces had very little of what this world has to offer but they were there on a Sabbath morning praising Jesus and they were happy and I was so excited I'm so excited to be there and I sat down and I said this is a nice church no it didn't look like this it is a beautiful church as I was sitting there beside my friend I heard it sounded like a microphone or a PA system that went bad we have that here sometimes and you can't help it it's mechanics but it sounded like but they didn't have a PA system so I said to my friend next to me what is that noise do you hear that he said you don't know what that is I said I'm a little bit sassy at times I said no if I knew I wouldn't ask you right so I don't mean anything by them just that's kind of me so he said come here let me show you so we walked over to the building this beautiful look like new bamboo and all along the foundations were millions of termites the termites were literally eating the church from the foundation people are inside they were happy they were singing they were praising the Lord and any minute the church could fall in on the walls could fallen that's where we are today it's up to you and me to decide where this church is headed where we individually and where this church is headed in the next three to five years what's happened in the last five years I would have never dreamed would have happened the changes that I see would it ever dream this think what it'll be in the next five years when a young generation of half the people say we see nothing wrong with same-sex marriage you know where that leads us this church who claims to be the church a remnant Church of God giving an undiluted three angels messages one that would counteract the counterfeit into all the world could become if we're silent a counterfeit counteract the counterfeit by God's grace if each one of us submit and commit our lives to the Lord we will not become a counterfeit but God is calling each and every one of us to stand up like we've never stood up before don't be silent but first emit and commit your life to Jesus many of us right now this is an appeal and I want you to think about your life and relationship we can't help somebody else if we can't help herself I need to say that again we can't help herself can't help anybody else we can't help herself we're all in need of a savior so right you [Music] you Oh [Music]
