coming up today on worldwide impact we're going to talk about a very important day in the life of airline employees i guess september 27th it's a big day it's a big day we're going to talk about courage and a backbone finding courage and a backbone and why biblically why biblically we should have courage and a backbone can we have how do you live peaceably with all men and obey those who have rule over you and then also have courage and a backbone that's what we're going to be talking about today i'm going to encourage you it's going to be a fun time stick with us through the whole thing hit the share button while you're watching this intro video i'm david hogan you're watching worldwide impact [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right that should have given you ample time to hit the share button i don't know if the telegram chat's open yet but somebody drop a youtube link in there that seems to work nicely courage in a backbone today is september 27th no matter where you're watching from in the world whether or not you work for an airline or not um it's an interesting day interesting day you know what today is today's the day the lord has made it's not a it's not the day that the devil gets to steal because somebody's trying to make us do something that we don't want to do and today is a deadline so uh if you don't work for an airline september 27th is the day that um united gave everybody to have the have the first job or how i think you have to be fully vaccinated or i don't know i i never paid attention to the deadlines because for me getting getting the job was never going to be an option it was not going to happen that's a that's a hill that i will die on not happening for me it's just me i'm not anti-vaxx i'm anti-mandate and um anyway it was never an option so if i understand correctly the 27th is is the deadline they said that anybody didn't have it would be out of work on october the 2nd yet here we are we have had at least at least a small victory which i don't think was small anytime you get a one of the world's largest companies to have to back down then that's that's a big victory especially you know i'll call it a i'll call it a big vic a big victory for a little part-time ramper we'll take it and it's not just me not just me all of you two as well nobody none of us i don't think could have done this on our own you know we got some heavy hitters up in the joint for sure with uh you know watching sherry and laura and danielle and the team of people that are working on all this stuff there's some movers and shakers in the group but nobody could have done what we did this weekend alone takes us all so stick with us the numbers grow by the day yesterday was my first day back to work uh i in about four weeks i had vacation uh scheduled so for like three of the weeks of september and then i traded off another one of the weeks but i walked back into the airport yesterday and it was exciting i didn't know what that would be like but i know a lot more people at the airline now and i'm getting to meet some of the people but i met people on the bus walking in through the airport i'm getting high-fived by people that i've met i don't know that i've worked with before you know pilots flight attendants like pointing at me waving david thank you for all you're doing so that part that's exciting it's exciting um so if you do see me at the airport please come and introduce yourself uh it's lonely on this side of the camera and uh um sometimes it's you know it feels a little bit strange because it you know when you when you're meeting people that watch the broadcast that you've never met before you know i i mean i get to see your names pop up but i don't i don't know your life and i'd love to get to know you so come hunt me down and the time is right when we run into each other somewhere um it's nice to be able to put uh faces and stories with names that pop up on the screen so uh from denver let us know where you are uh where you're watching from this is so exciting for for us because listen i mean we didn't start doing this broadcast because of this you know mandate with united we started doing this four years ago every day just teaching the bible and we named it worldwide impact and our first when we first started we'd have like 10 people watching 15 people watching and i mean if we got over 15 it felt good you know and uh and everybody is just basically you know [Music] friends from church and stuff like that but then now we name it worldwide impact and then now you know we get to see people from denver i saw tulsa uh earlier uh texas i've been looking for you on the ramp but can't find you okay i've only been there one day all the way from las vegas awesome uh cid okay i've never worked a flight from cid can you tell me where that's at you ual stew where where is cid watching from the willowbrook area less coker

had people all over the world that that watch i saw i didn't mention him the other day but uh pastor chuma from lusaka zambia oh cedar rapids is cid got you right on i don't i don't guess we have direct flights to cedar rapids out of houston i've never worked out i've never worked at flight so awesome bb65 thanks for dropping a link it immediately increased the number so if you're jumping on from telegram welcome welcome to the parties so here's the deal september 27th we've got lots of people lots of people that are facing a big decision today what do we do what do we do we have till at whatever time tonight to have uh the first jab or take roll the dice in federal court um you know what's that gonna what's that gonna look like if you're facing one of those one of those type decisions i just want to speak life to you and encourage you today uh you know you're the one that has to live with the decision so i'm not going to tell you one way or the other to go but i said this from the very beginning that we love the company do your job respectfully as unto the lord not as into scott kirby but do your job as unto the lord and as unto your fellow cust your fellow man to take care of customers and then if we're to ever get to a point where we don't have a job then you know we're going to do everything within our means to to try to take care of people and in every way possible um this is a saying that my family had during another uh another issue that we had to deal with a few years ago we may not be here when it's over but by god we will be here until it's over you know we're not gonna tap out bow out you're not alone so we'll fight with you all the way from pennsylvania rolling the dice gary rolling the dice my man that's what i'm talking about yeah i'll take my chances uh standing up today we're going to talk about uh from a biblical perspective do we have i will propose to you let me phrase it this way that not only do we have a biblical right to stand up and have courage in a backbone but i believe that the bible teaches that we have a a duty a responsibility to stand up for what is right if you haven't figured it out yet i don't like socialism i'm not a fan maybe i doubt anybody that watches me loves socialism but there are people that we work with um in our society that you know think that it's a a great idea i heard somebody say this morning that socialism is communism with diapers and it's true it always leads to more and more control and let me let's just talk about that i mean behind all of these you know over the last year and a half society has completely completely changed and i've heard people say you know that you know the vaccine is the you know it's the mark of the beast i i don't personally believe that this is the mark of the beast um but i will tell you this it is a very very interesting test run to see what they can do the bible says that the mark of the beast you won't be able to buy sell trade work without getting it and and what are they trying to do with with the jabs they don't want you to be able to buy sell trade or work it's very it's a very interesting test run to see what they can get away with and it's our responsibility to affect the culture i'm going to make a biblical argument for that um we're going to look at three things that jesus there's a lot of people that say you know jesus you know jesus wasn't political he didn't you know the kingdom of god was never about rome it wasn't because it was bigger than rome jesus seemed to not be too uh worried about he knew that rome would implode on itself he wouldn't have he he didn't have to stand up against rome does that make sense so uh the idea though that jesus didn't teach his disciples to stand up in society i think is blatantly false i'll show you uh we'll look at it in scripture there's three when jesus is talking about parables he describes us christianity people that are part of the kingdom of god as three different illustrations salt light leaven all of them are change agents we'll look at those in scripture michael says had a guy in small groups last night started coming to the church because of your town hall meeting yeah um yeah i saw him there a really great guy i i think michael am i right is his name gary i talked to him the other day at church he plays cello for the houston symphony i think him and his wife both are part of the houston symphony they're facing the same thing facing the same thing i'll tell you this um we're going to try to pull this off on on thursday night but we're going to do town hall 2.0 on thursday night here at spring first church so mark your calendars town hall 2.0 and what i want to do is i i want to gather anybody not just united employees i want if you're if you're a united employee get here uh and and be here we've got to support others in our community um but we're going to do a town hall i'm i'm working on trying to get his name is jeff that's right um i'm trying to get um john sullivan one of our lawyers to be here uh if he can't be here in person we'll see if we can get him on zoom but i'm trying to get him to to come he wants to be here he just they're really busy because they've got um a big they have a big evidentiary hearing coming up on october 8th fighting on our behalf um but evidently he had to make it down here for something else anyway so we're gonna try to to do that so september 30th we're doing town hall again but i want you to invite people that you know that are with other companies that are going to be affected by the biden administration mandate and we're going to tell pete we're going to show people the process that we're using people have no idea what title 7 is they don't understand what their rights are and and we're going to try to educate people educate people to know what you have access to the eeoc the texas workforce commission twc and we'll and we'll talk about all of that um and we're going to talk about how expensive this process can be and what people can do to be a part of that so um it will be recorded and we will be uh we'll stream it again because we have co-workers all over the place and uh what we will not be doing we're not going to have an attorney here doing like question and answers uh about legal theories and legal strategies that that we're doing we're not gonna do uh we're not gonna be doing that why because there will be people watching that do not have our same intentions at heart so um tech says that they have to work yeah we're streaming it and it'll be just like the other town hall the town hall that we uh i didn't realize this i went back and looked earlier this morning the town hall that we did we have over 5 000 views on facebook on that town hall and then over 11 000 views on youtube that's a lot that's that's quite a bit especially for it only being you know not that long but um not that not that long ago i guess is what i'm saying i mean a month ago and then we've got that town hall so tell people that you know to come i know a lot of people i mean a lot of people have to work and can't be there and but as many as we can we want you to to come and show support together uh uh sherry walker always says this we need a big group hug so let's let's get together um meet together get on the same page a rally if you will rally together but i really want you to talk to other people in the community that work for other companies if you know people that work at exxon or chevron or any other uh company that has more than 100 people we want to know what time what time i think that we did we did the last one at seven o'clock yeah we'll start at 7 p.m we'll start at 7 pm and we'll do the whole thing our the goal will be to do it in 90 minutes or less that'll be the goal we went a little bit over because um we talked to matt staver [Music] yeah renee says she wants to hug sherry walker among others she would love that as well i think i think sherry will be in the air i think she's got a trip but we are also working on another fundraiser get together that we don't have the the exact dates on yet but we're going to try we're trying to find a time this weekend in a venue where we can uh get together and just hang out as well and do a fundraiser as well so um all of that's coming down the pipe but mark your calendar spring first church we'll have a flyer i'll i'll build that this afternoon in my spare time i'll make a graphic where's joe does he want to make a graphic we'll see but we'll get all of those details out make something shareable um we will probably make a a quick promo video for that as well uh for that let's talk about how how can we have courage in a backbone during these times society changed a year and a half ago with this covet thing and you you i'll i'll say this and i'm not trying to i'm not trying to just rant about all of this stuff i i want you to i want you to be a deep thinker think for yourself be a deep thinker question narratives question narratives it is very very interesting to me i was thinking about this on the on the way in this morning i was thinking about how odd it is that any time that any time that doctors find success with different treatments for this sickness if they're having success those medicines are immediately blackballed and they try to discredit them immediately i mean you and i'm not going to say them out loud on here because i end up getting strikes on youtube and i don't i don't want that i'm not trying to you know i just think it's very very interesting they would rather force us down a path of something that's not been proven or has a really long track record being they would rather be forced to do that rather than try treatments that have long-standing track records of being safe for human consumption that makes me question the narrative the the ability of our government and the media to use fear to manipulate behavior is unbelievable to me i'm sitting in i'm sitting in the drive-through today at whataburger i always go through there and get me a ginormous one of these i drive through there and this man pulls in [Music] yes sharon's self if if you go to spring first church volunteers needed for thursday night we'll we'll do this we already have the teams built so but we'll we'll need that as well marina from tampa great to have you here if you live in tampa go to the river tampa bay church and tell dr rodney howard brown that his friend david says hello he'll have no idea who you're talking about but tell him anyway okay tell him to watch worldwide impact he's had a great impact on my life and i i love that guy he's a pastor in tampa he got arrested because he refused to shut his church down and whatever county it is there in tampa issued a warrant for his arrest so he went and turned himself in of course those charges got dropped but he said what we what we said around here the government will tell us when we can have church and when we can open and when we should close over my dead rotting carcass [Music] so the media uses fear and control to me manipulate behavior and so i'm in the drive-thru and a guy pulls up next to me and i'm not lying to you i i was i wanted to take a picture just because it looks so funny but he's like wearing like a regular uh like cloth mask on his face he's in his car by himself and then he's got one of those n95 masks like pulled up and stuck on his forehead but then as he pulls up and someone's gonna like walk up to his car he's already got the one mask on and he pulls the n95 down over i mean how do you how i don't even know like how long how long can you have like sustained life trying to breathe through two of those i it's just crazy i'm like bro like you're in a car by yourself i just wanted to roll down the window and you know you're doing it wrong [Music] but people are are scared they're scared spitless 99.9997 chance of of beating the thing if you get it i'm not saying it's fake i've had friends that have passed away from this i get it it's a real thing but there's a lot of sicknesses out there [Music] that are more deadly than this but but this is the one that they're gripping the economy with and they're gripping the the entire nation with so what what is it that they're trying to do let's read some scriptures here because let's read some of the arguments that people make turn with me to romans chapter 13. and i'm gonna dismantle these arguments biblically and show you like we don't jesus jesus how how do we how do we find the balance and can i tell you this i think i'll just be transparent with you i have to be careful because i get so fired up about these things and i have to ask the holy spirit to give me the balance where i have the courage and the backbone and we stand up but we do it in a christ-like manner and that we don't give in to a political spirit okay and i i i think uh you know over the last three or four years i think there have been times where i i'm you know in the ditch too far on one side i get that i'll be the first to admit it i'm looking for that balance but if i'm gonna err i'm gonna err on standing up rather than sitting down okay um and i'm asking jesus i'm asking the holy spirit lord show me show me the balance where where i stand where i stand for biblical principles and i do this in a way where i can encourage people to do the same in a way that still shows love so how do we do that we say things like like this we we stand up but we stand up respectfully um we do think you know it's one of the things that you've never seen anybody from our group do and we and we won't not only because it's illegal and against the railway labor act to do a a work stoppage a work walkout a a strike or anything like that those are those are words that we take very seriously and we don't allow it uh for a couple of reasons one it's against federal law for us to do that you have to have i think a two-thirds vote from a union uh membership to have a strike or a walkout or a slowdown or whatever and we're not doing that we're not doing that why because inflicting [Music] loss on somebody because of a disagreement i i don't think is the way forward but we have to stand up and be counted and and here's here's the tough thing um i i'd i don't i'm going to be very honest i don't think that the the airline has acted in good faith on this issue at all you know there are rules that they have to follow and i don't think that they have followed those those why we those things are why we're in federal court this is supposed to be an interactive process for exemptions and stuff like that and there's been nothing nothing interactive at it about all interaction uh means that two parties are going back and forth there's no negotiation we were given a we we were given an ultimatum uh shared jaffe our lawyer released a statement and i think they worded it i think very well we have been given an impossible choice between violating faith or a doctor's order or or literally losing your entire livelihood because of loss of income and loss of medical coverage loss of all of those things so um so what do you what here's the thing what do you do biblically to live peaceably with all men according to scripture we're going to look at a a couple of these romans 13 1 says let every soul be subject to the governing authorities for there is no authority except from god and the authorities that exist are appointed by god therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of god and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves for rulers are not a terror to good works but to evil do you want to be unafraid of the authority do what is good and you'll have praise from the same so a couple of things a couple of things paul here is writing to the church in rome rome is the capital city of the roman empire it is a very politicized city it is a dictatorship they have an emperor the emperor selects other leaders to go be the dictators of small lands he has got governors over different lands and then even in the city in jerusalem so i mean you see uh jesus being passed back and forth between a roman governor and then like the local uh city guy herod antipas and going back and forth between pontius pilate paul has a meeting and he actually stands before caesar i mean this is incredible that that that paul gets an audience with caesar they affected culture in that area notice that the guy that writes this he said a couple very important things because i see pastors telling their churches stay out of the fight we don't want to be political at all just do what they say do what they say do what they say just obey the laws of the land do you notice that the guy that's writing this why why was he meeting with caesar because he had been arrested over and over and over again for violating the law peter and john get arrested they get beat they get arrested and beat in acts chapter 3 and 4 and they tell them quit talking about this jesus and their response was you judge for yourself whether it is right for us to obey god or man but as for us we will never stop talking about what we have seen and what we've heard ever we will not and then they release them and they immediately go back to a prayer meeting and they start evangelizing again paul writes this he says [Music] as far as as you can do whatever you can to obey the the authorities so what's he what's he talking about here he's saying don't be picking stupid fights but you you have to still stand for what you stand for hey paul quit spreading your religion and paul's response would be listen i i'm trying to obey all of your rules but there you are you you have certain laws that are violating my faith and it's against my religion to not spread my religion so as far as i can if that when i can obey god and obey the authority i'm absolutely going to do that but if i have to pick between obeying god or obeying the authority who do we pick you pick serving the lord you pick following your faith shadrach meshach and abednego how does how do you apply a and the new testament teaching would they according to some pastors and preachers they would have told shadrach meshach and abednego to just obey this is not a big deal just bow down and do the thing that god told you not to do never bow and knee never idolatry is sin it's one of the ten commandments you don't even if you're not bowing in your heart don't bow to other false gods so what do they tell them listen let it be known to you king we i really wish we could help you out but we we can't do that if you if you're going to have to kill us then so be it if we perish we perish but let it be known to you o king the god that we serve is able to save us and he will save us but let it be known if even if he does not we will never bow so the idea that because paul says obey be subject to the governing authorities doesn't mean that you violate faith to obey he himself did not even live out or follow his own teaching in that regard if that's how you're interpreting it and i that's it would be nonsensical to think that that's what he was saying in these instances so we do need to stand up well david jesus never he he you know he was always telling him to turn the other cheek no he he told them let's see what he told them look at the kingdom of god is like the kingdom of god is like the kingdom of god is like this is what jesus always came saying this is what the kingdom of god looks like the kingdom of god don't look for it it's not going to be a kingdom that you see rising up that has a king and a political leader i i take heat sometimes from all sorts of people i've got the little you know the little bobble heads back here and stuff like that i've said this over and over and over again maybe you guys have never heard me uh say this uh first of all no political leader ever is a savior i've never heard anybody that's a christian ever referred to any politician or somebody running for office as like looking to them for salvation or as like the savior of the earth or the one that's going to like save the day okay there's been some good presidents during my lifetime and there's been some that i just didn't care for uh very much all of them i can tell you all of them did things that i like and and not all of them did things i like i'm saying that there all of them did things that i didn't agree with but we don't we don't look to politicians to be our savior so sometimes you know it when you see you know the little trump bobble head sitting on the on the desk i just i enjoy taunting people sometimes um but you know i'm not trying to be polarizing in this regard and we've got a good audience and my new friend one of my new friends that that watches gave me a hard time about it and i i don't want to like alienate people because of or to become a distraction so whatever we'll keep him in the back um he did trump did some good things there are some things i didn't agree with i'll tell you this we were in my opinion we were better off we were better off this time last year than we are than we are now my opinion but he's not the savior jesus is the savior he's the one that we serve but what did jesus say what the kingdom of god would look like he didn't say that the kingdom of god he wasn't he never was like some people try to think this that you know the united states of america is the kingdom of god no the kingdom of god is not a kingdom in the sense of a a nation with a president or a government the king he said don't don't look for it here and there he said the kingdom will be in you and i think uh oh no i mean can you find that one for me i'm if i was guessing i would say luke 17 23 but the one that says the the kingdom of god will be in you the kingdom of god is in us we live kingdom what is that what does that look like jesus tells us to pray heaven on earth your your will be done on earth as it is in heaven that's what kingdom looks like we don't we don't live kingdom by setting up earthly physical kingdoms we live kingdom of christ jesus theology we live kingdom from the inside out we live it from the inside out when we find that scripture we'll we'll throw it up [Music] we'll put it up on the screen every time i accidentally say we'll throw up the scripture i have to make the noise i apologize i know it's like really immature but there's i just i can't not i can't luke 17 i was so close 17 21 do i get grace for being off by two verses okay good nor will they say see hear or see there for indeed the kingdom of god is within you so this is what you have to understand i've got to keep the kingdom of god the love of god in my heart and i have to live it out and walk it out from the inside out i've got to let the kingdom of god be inside of me that means i have to have transformational kingdom thinking kingdom thinking so i've got a i have a demonic world government system that wants to come in and manipulate and control thinking of people and the way they do that there's a trojan horse that they use it's called justice justice and compassion in the name of justice and compassion and here's here is it's not just united airlines doing this it's everybody it's a trojan horse you know what we're doing this you know for the greater good for the out of compassion for the safety of our fellow man this is all about safety that that's the talking point for the company it's all about safety it's all about safety just google scott kirby mandate and all like video after video will be him like making the rounds turning point whatever whatever he was on msnbc uh cnn i forget the name of the show he was just on mr david thank you for keeping my mind straight yeah 32 years newark ramp i just appreciate you called me mr david i want everybody to call me mr david from now on i love that my daughter calls me mr dad many in newark yeah i i've i know a few of the uh the newark rampers john wright uh lemuel there's another lemuel in uh in newark as well [Music] awesome i'm with you man rampant proud 32 years that's awesome yeah ricky says don't forget equity equality also is that that's what they're giving you equality the idea of equality that we have to be equal starts transforming minds of people that i get that i'm entitled to something i it's this entitlement mentality that breeds into i have i have rights i have rights i have rights so you've got rights and you've got entitlement but is the more right you give people the more it fosters this entitlement idea and we need to have rights but just because we have rights doesn't mean we can this is so good right here we can never we can never let the idea of rights be put over human responsibility communism socialism by nature is all humanism the idea that i'm entitled to something and we cannot we can we can never i'm like preaching government systems here but this is so good but you can never let human responsibility become less important than than human rights or otherwise you build and this is what we have right now is we have a society that's inching closer and closer and closer towards a complete entitlement mentality case in point the government your your your current alleged president will get up and say we have to raise taxes on the rich because we have to do these compassionate things to we have to do these compassionate things to help people that are that are in need so we have to tax the rich so you saw aoc the other day in her you know stupid demonic dress talking about taxing the rich about how they have to pay their fair share i hate to break it to you sweetheart but the rich are paying their fair their fair share they pay more in taxes than anybody else the fact is is you've got people like lower income people that not only are they not carrying their weight they're not doing anything and they're only just taking from the system so you've got people at the top that are pouring into the system and then you've got this government agency here that's taking from one party not political party but one person and then giving it to other people that's socialism and it leads to communism and you've got people down here at the bottom you've got a government that's saying all the while listen we've got we've got the sickness and it killed the economy and people are out of work people are are sick people are out of work so they've got it we've got to tax the people and we've got to give people we've got to give these uh you know right everybody needs to be getting free checks every month meanwhile you can go get a job right now anywhere go drive down the road and every place that you see is hiring hiring hiring hiring hiring [Music] restaurants that i love to go to you go to lupe tortilla right now and oftentimes they'll be on a weight just because they don't have enough weight staff and you have people sitting at home that it's it would be they can make more money living off the government right now so here's the thing is it compassion that a government says these people are hurting i'm going to take money from you and i'm going to give it to them that's not that's not compassion i argue to you that it not it does not become compassion until the person the person giving the free gift is the one sacrificing as well you cannot take a car from somebody else and give it to somebody else that's in need and call it compassion that's not compassion compassion is when the person that's giving the gift gives the gift that's compassion otherwise it's only theft there i said it [Music] taxation is theft [Music] anybody anyway i won't go we won't talk about anarchy today um i wouldn't classify myself anarchist but what does jesus say jesus says in luke chapter 13 verse 20 21 he says the kingdom of god he compares it to three things and i'm going to show this to you very closely and never forget it this right here ought to build in you a backbone when you understand that the guy who said live peaceably with the people that have rule over you and and uh go to uh before we do luke 13 i've already showed you romans 13 where paul says obey those that have rule over you but now go to titus chapter 3 and preached about this yesterday titus chapter 3 verse let's do verse 1 and 2. remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities to obey to be ready for every good work to speak evil of no one to be peaceable gentle showing all humanity humility to all men and then yet that's again paul writing and he's the one getting arrested all of the time for preaching and starting churches why because he was living kingdom from the inside out but when he would stand before the rulers he wasn't barking at them yelling at them screaming at them david you know i wish i could just get a hold i've had people say this to me i wish i could just get a hold of scott kirby and do this and that wouldn't be the answer i would love to talk to scott kirby the answer would not be like violence or like take him out back that listen well that's barbaric chances are i'm not going to change scott kirby's mind chances are there's no 100 percent [Music] zero chance of change of him changing my mind probably zero percent chance of me changing his too but i would love to have a conversation with him not so that not so that anybody could change somebody else's mind but that he could hear hear the heart words what would you tell him i want you to think about this this is good right here this is good preaching and teaching for people that are ticked off at a ceo this is good teaching it's biblical teaching i want you to think today what what would you say how would you act if you got in the room and you had a chance to talk to scott kirby i'd like tim to hear my heart you know what i would say i would say things like while we disagree i love this company this company it's been the honor of my life to work in the airline industry for as long as i have i've gotten to do things my family's got to see places that they never would have got to see we get to do extra things because i'm able to have a part-time job with a ton of flexibility i love it i love it it's been the honor of my life i disagree with some of the decisions that he's made but i'd love for him to be able to hear my heart i i hope i would hope that i he would walk away walk away from from meeting me or talking to me and i i would hope that he would say things like this that guy's been a real thorn in my side with helping organize this group but talking to him that's a good that's a good guy he's principled and you can see jesus in him that's what i would hope because that that's the kind of effect that we have to be able to have on on culture and sometimes it's hard to not get in the weeds because like the the justice warrior in me when i see you know i saw somebody yesterday getting bullied on [Music] on a union facebook chat and that that infuriates me you know the quick story is somebody had posted a link to the breitbart article which the breitbart article describes what happened on friday the most honest and clear than any other news media that's covered it breitbart the breitbart article i'll we'll we'll share it in the if you haven't seen it we'll share it on um in the comments and then pin it later do what it's the i've got it i can send it to you i'm going to send this to noah real quick and then um and she'll pin it in the in the comments copy knowing me i'm just going to text it to you and then let you [Music] do what you need to do in there the breitbart article describes what happened friday in federal court the most clear of any any other media that's covered it in my opinion um but somebody immediately responds on there and says leave it to breitbart to get the facts wrong well it's somebody that has literally no idea what they're talking about and they're just trying to that's what they want to do they'll try to marginalize you they'll try to bully you and tell you you know they they're using the trojan horse it's justice and compassion you you hate your other fellow co-workers so much that you won't just do what's right for the greater the greater good no i'm gonna do what's right before my god and king my savior jesus christ i'm gonna have complete dependency upon him and i won't violate my faith in the name of trying to keep somebody else safe besides that point i probably i mean i haven't been tested for antibodies but i probably have plenty of antibodies to make sure that i'm not i'm probably safer anyway i'm not going to argue that point anyway but he's on here arguing trying to marginalize somebody that's taking a stand having backbone leave it to breitbart to get the facts wrong and i just piped in and asked can you please name name one fact that is untrue about the breitbart article because i read it and i told him choose wisely because i was in the courtroom i know what happened i watched it i'm not getting second-hand information like i was there a man with an argument is never at the mercy with a person with an ex an experience i was there don't follow that link yet wait till you get wait till we get done stick with me for a second we're almost done they're all following it already i can't stand it justice and compassion it's the trojan horse look at luke chapter 13 luke chapter 13 verse 20. here's the thing i'm leaving with you leaving you with jesus told us three analogies [Music] three analogies of what the kingdom of god is like and the kingdom of god is in us so that means that i have to be like these these three things i have to be salt i have to be light and i need to be like leaven okay jesus talked about in two different ways how that there's good leaven and the bad leaven he said beware of the leaven of the pharisees the leaven of the pharisees was what the leaven of the pharisees was a religious spear a religious and political spirit of pride that seeks self-promotion he says beware of that kind of leaven because a little leaven will live in the whole lump but in luke chapter 13 verse 20 he says and again he said to what shall i liken the kingdom of god it is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened what does that mean if i if that's how the kingdom of god works that means that when i get in an environment that is unleavened that i should be the change agent that can be hidden in a society and can stand up and begin to check affect and change the culture and the environment around me culture [Music] secular culture should not be infiltrating and controlling and changing the church the church of jesus christ which is not the building it's the people the people should be in society changing culture everywhere that's that's the kingdom of god matthew chapter 5 verses 13 to 16 that's the the first one leaven that's what the kingdom of god is like that's what you need to be like are you changing your culture are you changing it for the good or the bad are you showing the love of christ you can stand up and doing it away do it in a way that honors christ and doesn't dishonor people i have to listen there's a there's a lion in me i have to be careful i had to go back and delete some comments on facebook last night and i had to message a guy and tell him listen my point is not to like be fighting on facebook my point is to defend people that are being bullied i can't stand it how do you defend yourself against the bully somebody has to stand up to the bully that's it and in our case 3 000 people have have gathered together to in a legal manner stand up to the bullying that's what we're going to do here's the deal jesus says you are the salt of the earth salt changes the environment that it's on before refrigeration what would they do to preserve things they would change they would change the atmosphere by packing meat and salt so that it wouldn't spoil because it changed the environment of that meat you are the salt of the earth but if the salt loses its flavor how shall it be seasoned it is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on underfoot by men you are the light of the world light is a change agent to dark environments a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden that's what we have to be doing we are we have to place ourselves in a in a place where light can be seen they don't be the light be the salt of the earth change the environment infiltrate infiltrate environments that you have access to and change them for the good with god's love and compassion but have a backbone stand up we have to do it september 27th some of you are watching today and you're facing a big decision it's your last day to either go get a shot or
