Behind The Mask - Part 1 (Romans 1:24-32)

so listen i'm not going to ask for a show of hands but if you have not been going through the book of romans with us you're at a great disadvantage this morning because for three weeks i've been laying the foundation going through romans chapter one to get to the verses we are today and we will just begin to scratch those verses though we'll read them in their entirety and we are going to cover them probably over the course of the next three sundays i say the next three sundays in the book of romans next sunday is the fourth of july we're going to pause for a special message but for the next three sundays in the book of romans many of you are going to find it very difficult to go through these next three weeks starting with today some of you will not be able to handle it and i'm not saying that to be funny i want to remind you though before you think anything else this book this book has already anticipated the day that you and i are living in right now and you will be convinced of that you'll be convinced of it starting today will you accept what it says that's your that's your decision but this is serious stuff so serious that i have asked people that i know across across this country to please be lifting up these services today in prayer it's not listen i'm not worried about failing i know what to say i'm actually very very concerned about someone's rejection of what god is saying because of of what it's going to mean to them can i say it this way i know that i belong to jesus i know that when i die i'm going to see him and i know that my sins have been forgiven and i know what he's called me to do i'm not struggling with any of that but i it has been intensified upon my heart to struggle over the fact that that someone may be listening or watching right now or here right now and just will refuse because you will not allow him to be the god of your life and even though i'm going to heaven and maybe most in this room or all or 99.9 percent are i have been struggling all this week with the realization apparently i'll be satisfied when i get to heaven because the thought of you not going there concerns me all because you may side with the demonic end-time sway that is working in this world and if you doubt that i think you'll be convinced of it in a matter of moments here and now romans chapter one i'm going to be begin reading in the even-numbered verses if you'll pick it up and the odd-numbered verses in our responsive reading new king james version please if you would and if you don't have that it'll be on the screens romans 1 verse 24 therefore god also gave them up to uncleanness and the lust of their hearts to dishonor their bodies among themselves for this reason here's the because for this reason god gave them up to vile passions for even the women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature and even as they did not like to retain god in their knowledge god gave them over to a debased mind to do those things which are not fitting backbiters haters of god violent proud boasters inventors of evil things disobedient to parents who knowing the righteous judgment of god that those who practice such things are deserving of death not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them father we pray that you would be our teacher this morning in jesus name and all god's people said amen you can be seated and as you prepare your bibles this morning as we look to this portion of scripture i want to remind you first of all that paul the apostle is writing to the believers in rome the believers in rome listen the old saying when in rome do as the romans why is that a universal statement because when in rome it's synonymous by the way with doing what romans do it's not like when in rome eat pizza because that's what romans do it's it's a statement that means when in rome do like the romans it's like you know when in vegas do as the [Music] vegans uh it's an invitation to [Music] uh whatever you want to do do it eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die and it's this statement and paul is writing to a church that had come out of that world they knew exactly what he meant everything listen remember now listen think he's writing to the romans he's writing to them he's writing from corinth this is a whole another story paul is writing from corinth to the romans in italy but where paul is writing from was the epicenter of sexual worship of the pagan gods corinth was i was there not too long ago uh lisa and i were on a vacation i don't know before covet and um we're in that part of the world and that the emanating influence of that type of worship system is so filthy and so degrading that when we stopped in pompei they had all of these iconic gods that the italians in pompei were worshiping and their origins came out of corinth greece and unbelievable truly pornea is the word graphic illustrations carved images of pornographic deities and now there's a church in rome and they've been delivered from all of this they've been saved they've been washed they've been made new so when he gives this list that you and i are appalled and and shook to see the honesty of the bible who would mention these things the romans went thank god thank god yes oh i hey those three things that used to be me and then somebody else would have said oh that one that that's i live for that one and you know what i'm saying everybody they could relate and you know you and i can relate also if we're honest this is the challenge today as we begin to look at these things and as we just begin to scratch the surface of this study that we are calling behind the mask behind the mask in our humanity there's a mask that people put up and i want listen i'm going to admit this for all of us all of us wear a mask to some degree he said how dare you say that about me listen uh get over it you and i it's the same thing look it could be benign it could be a little bit mischievous and it could be full-blown dangerous for example i'm putting on the mask right now i'm wearing a mask right now and here it is ministry here and i'm happy i'm not complaining has been grueling non-stop amazing the the bummer is i've not been sleeping i got two and a half hours in yesterday or last night i am physically beside myself i'm not even quite sure if my body's responding to my commands right now just tired but but listen on the inside i'm rejoicing okay this is great my spirit is rejoicing my body is feeling its age and more but here's the deal i'm putting on a mask right now i don't want to be a distraction to you for example i it's already happened first service pastor are you okay i'm fine my eyes look the way they do because they want to be closed okay so are you hearing me though that's a mask some people want to wear a mask and they project that there's something that they're wealthy then they'll go to the point of buying knockoffs to project being something they have fake gucci or fake this or that to try to get people to think that they're doing better than what they really are it's a mask and people hide behind a mask and we ought not to do that but why do we do that is because there is a sense within our fallen nature to have identity that we know maybe enough about ourselves that that is somewhat unacceptable so we try to project an image that is more lofty than who we really are and the world lives like that the great thing about being a christian the joy about growing older with jesus is that you get to just watch that stuff get peeled away and the great thing listen hey if you're old today and you're not a christian listen up become a christian because as you grow older as a christian heaven gets really thrilling because you know what this body starts to smell it ain't working so good i can't even mimic the motion of baptism after yesterday i need advil uh why because the outward man's perishing but the inward man's being renewed day by day and it's great to grow older with christ because heaven again gets all the sweeter but we're going to be looking at this mask and um in the next few weeks you're going to see even at the end of this message you're going to see a very very dark sinister side of what we would normally say is a masked or veiled agenda the problem is right now it's not so veiled in the world in which we live in and so i want to give you this verse to get you ready before we go into the first consideration of this and that is the warning that's given to us in the bible that is applicable right now and it's second timothy 3 verse 1. there the bible says but know this that in the last days perilous times will come perilous grueling grinding wearing out you these times will come for men will be lovers of themselves translation the times are going to get grueling for the believer because men who are unredeemed will exalt themselves and all that they want while at the same time necessarily so dethroning god from his rightful place so you read it a moment ago let's dive into it now behind the mask we first see in verses 24 to 25 is the abuse can you write that down is the abuse i'm going to ask you to take notes and have notes ready all these uh next few sundays in this regarding the abuse first point is this behind the mask i'm going to submit to you today from the bible that there's an abuse and the first thing that we see is that there's an abuse of the soul and for those of you who take notes when we talk about the soul the word soul comes in fact the word psychology comes from soul ology or in the greek it's suke suke is the psyche psyche is the soul the soul is your thinking listen the soul is not your spirit that's different and first thessalonians 5 23 god says i made you body soul and spirit we are a mini miniature trinity we have a mind we have a spirit that needs to be born again and we have a body and when we talk about the soul we're talking about the mind the realm of the mind and the thinking what do we think what do we think as a culture what do we think as a as a society what do we think as a as a church what do we think as a as a culture of people as a nation who are we it can often be argued that as the nation thinks so goes the nation and what is the nation's preoccupation what does the nation think about and ponder about well they tell us all you have to do is look at commercials if you look at commercials you can get the vibe of what the nation is thinking about they tell us to look at sports you can get the idea of what the nation is thinking about what are we wearing what we wear and what we choose to wear what's trending is a uh it's a description of what the soul of the nation is and that is certainly true about your family or about yourself or your marriage but paul is going to argue to us that it's an abusive situation that the world is descending down into and it begins with the mind socialism knows this communism knows this satan knows this god knows this and the church knows this the mind is the battleground everybody's vying for control of your mind they they want control of your mind and listen you are going to yield control of your mind though you'll never make control we will say i'm in control we're not in control we yield to those things that control us putting it bluntly it's your worldview how do you see things how do you view the politics around you how do you view the world around you how do you view how do you value that's your worldview and so verse 24 says therefore god also gave them up immediately church it goes into a very very firm declaration circle the word therefore in your notes and it means this therefore meaning everything that has been previously declared regarding the topic are you listening everybody listening regarding this topic how do we know what he's talking about when he says therefore he's saying go back to verse 18. if you're taking a course in seminary on on bible and bible interpretation every freshman student is going to get this one right by the end of uh by the time they go into their next year of schooling and that is therefore demands that you go back and you connect the therefore to the argument that is being made so look at your bible verse 24 it says therefore god also gave them up we would ask the question gave them up to what go back to verse 18. way back to verse 18 for the wrath of god is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and in righteousness of men who suppress the truth and unrighteousness remember what this means last week let's hold down the truth let's mock the truth let's destroy the truth let's cover it up let's control the narrative the truth can never get out let's suppress it let's have fake news let's have fake websites let's make sure that we have these trolls or these entities which is tragic this week a lot of stuff's coming out i guess this is good people that are being criticized in many areas now we find out that there are companies they're like shadow companies in the shadows there there are companies who uh if you oppose something and you have the resources you can hire this company that will go online and what they do they don't even they don't care what you believe or don't believe they don't care what they do is they bash you because the company who hired them wants you to be discredited so this company it's like you know it's like guido you know oh i'm going to have to bump you off you know it's nothing personal there's nothing personal i just got to bump you off it's like a contract there are companies who are now paid by internet giants to destroy your reputation to go after your company to go after your worldview to go after your faith and they are fake they make things up they make full stories and false people and they spin it and it's got the power of big tech behind it and it looks real and people believe it what is that suppressing the truth so listen if you're a skeptic today i want to submit to you will you please consider the fact that you're living in the age right now that paul told timothy about that these are the days that are perilous you without the holy spirit will never know what's true anymore because of what's going on and why because it is listen it is going after the soul we got to control the mind we got to get the mind and satan knows this and our flesh knows this by the way god says i've given them up what happens how does someone come to the point where god says i'm done in fact the word listen to this the word implies this that when god gives you up it's not that god says you know what i don't like you i don't like the way you look i don't like the way you sound i'm done with you it's not that it's the word implies this think of going down a stairway down you're going down the word implies that god is with you you whoever you may be all humans god's with you listen carefully he's with you saying don't take another step downward this is not good don't don't go don't take another step what do people do take a step and god says don't don't take another step and what do people do they take a step and they keep going down he says to them internally don't go there and i'm speaking right now on behalf of every human being what's my authority jesus said the holy spirit will convict the world of sin so when somebody thinks i shouldn't do this but i'm going to do it god the holy spirit says don't do it but you take the step and then you take it again and then you take it again guess what according to the bible god's with you he's with you with every step along the way pleading with you don't do it are you married but she's cute at the drinking fountain or whatever that used to i don't know from those of you who were at the office in the 50s uh i don't know what it is today are you married but she's a cutie are you married but he is uh whatever the term is um and the thought is that's whoop turn your eyes away turn your eyes away but if you say well i'm not touching what's what's wrong with a little look guess what you just took you took two steps down is it not true you descend down and god is with you all along the way saying don't do it don't do it until guess what happens he gives you up therefore god gave them up he comes to a step and he says i can't go any further as far down as i'm going listen did not god put up with so much at sodom and gomorrah didn't god put up with so much in judah or israel when they sinned against him did he not put up with so much and then he says i can't go any further did he not put up with so much when noah was building the ark as we mentioned last week and then god says to a generation i can't put up with this anymore all along the way he's gone down pleading but then he says i can't go any further and at that moment humanity without christ and the 21st century that you and i live in says this to him i don't care i haven't cared a thing about what you've said thus far i'm still going to go down see ya and that next step you'll never hear his voice again and you keep going down and he's not going i gave them up god the god of all patience the god of all mercy the god of all grace and forgiveness says i can't go that far and i'm done it's a tragic thing this is that romans 1 18 fulfillment where the wrath of god is revealed from heaven the wrath of god you can't find fault with god he's pure and holy god's wrath is pure right doing pure justice i want to give you five things that i have not given you previously regarding the wrath of god and i want you to write them down because you and i will experience these in some way shape or form either by experiencing them in our lives are we experiencing them by watching someone else that you and i know from genesis to revelation the wrath of god is revealed in five different categories and one would be cataclysmic wrath can you write that down when we talk about god's wrath being poured out what does that mean and when he says i've given you up given you up to what number one he will give you up to cataclysmic wrath these are judgments or judgment events of either nature or man which causes suffering in other words and this is hard for us to imagine but i pray that we'll get a glimpse of this according to the bible god keeps you and i right now out of circumstantial wrath by his sheer pleasure and his mercy right now because romans 1 18 says the wrath of god is revealed you guys remember in our previous study it's the atmosphere is charged with things invisible to destroy us the reason why we're not destroyed is because god is shielding us from being destroyed it doesn't matter if you're the sweetest person on the planet or you're the meanest person on the planet if you are not suffering right now by either nature or man you are comforted right now by the sheer goodness of god you don't believe in god you are being comfort by the sheer goodness of god a cataclysmic wrath is this when god moves his hand away so imagine imagine a an umbrella being moved away and the rain the hail or the heat hits you god moves the protection it was a miracle it was there in the first place but he moves it and that might come upon you by assault it could be by violence it could be by murder however or it could be by natural disaster of some sorts the next one the next one is eschatological wrath this church knows the meaning of this word eschatological is prophetic bible prophecy wrath these are the judgment events of either nature or man directly relating to end of days or last days prophecies that are revealed in the bible natural end time events where for example the bible says that in the last days the sun will not shine and the moon will look as though it's blood before the great and awesome day of the lord's return that is god in his wrath displaying that in eschatological terms through nature but through man it would be for example the advent of the antichrist or evil-doers are you with me are you guys okay i know this is heavy stuff and you're probably wondering why in the world did i come to church today i'm asking you the same thing i warned you for three weeks not to come today uh the other thing would be where um false prophets and false teachers would be a form of god's eschatological wrath where somebody says i don't want to hear the truth i want i want some preacher to lie to me well that's certainly available god will not go down that step any further and you're free to do it the next one is this circumstantial wrath these are judgment events that come about due to disobedience to god or the rejection of his lordship i will not i will not obey god i'm not going to follow god this could relate to a non-christian and it could relate to a christian who's backslidden and they wind up getting in trouble uh i've been in ministry long enough to watch a christian backslide leave his wife or she leaves her husband she he they go out and they're sleeping around and they won't turn watch they're going down the steps going down the steps going down the steps and at some point thank god thank god at some point god is speaking he's speaking he's speaking and then they'll listen but here's what happens circumstantial wrath is this they their walk begins they come back to jesus and they get back home if the home is still there but they're now dying of aids or they're riddled with syphilis or some sexually transmitted disease and they're going to heaven they backslid away and they experience the circumstantial wrath are you with me this is very common but nobody wants to talk about i guarantee you this sermon today in this church there's no other sermon like this today across america in any church why because what kind of a pastor would talk about this stuff today nobody wants to hear this stuff but we've got to hear this it's bible cataclysmic eschatological circumstantial ethnological ethnos ethnological ethnos nations nation national wrath this is throughout the bible there are judgment events that come upon a nation or nations who forget god or neglect god or refuse god because america has been the most predominant christian nation in all of human history i believe that the condition america is in right now is ethnological judgment of god this is the wrath of god coming upon america it has started some time ago i who am i i have no authority to say that it started when but i would think i think it's been going on for decades and it's intensifying you we as a nation we treat god horrible as a nation we are rude to him we we attack him we evict him we mock him and i think this nation at this moment and i think now we're starting to see what you and i feel and see is now the visible manifestation of ethnological wrath where our nation is going down horrific paths and see what does that mean what does that mean well according to the bible it means that a nation or nations will attack us it means also we know from history in the bible economies will fail there'll be things where god moves his hand of protection deuteronomy chapter 28 god says if a nation seeks after me i will protect them from enemies i will cause their crops to flourish and their women will give birth but if a nation rejects me he says they will be captured by enemy forces their economy their crops will fail and their women will wholesale he said wholesale be unable to bear a child they will miscarry the word in english is miscarry the hebrew word is when my hand leaves a nation women will miscarry their young deuteronomy chapter 28 read it later nationally and then finally there's individual wrath individual where you do something dumb and god's hand of protection is off it'd be this is silly but it'd be similar to me if i were to say um there's a lot of electricity right here and if i were to take the cord and i said here here suck on this court for a little bit just take the cord and just we wouldn't want you to do that until we all got our cameras out so we could watch your hair go straight out and a little cloud over your head and your ears would be black of course i'm talking about being shocked you said i wouldn't do that of course not of course you wouldn't do that why because you probably saw someone get shot before or you yourself got shocked so you've learned not to touch that god will use individual wrath to accomplish the same the amazing thing is why would you put the electrical cord in your mouth in the first place because we tend to do that as a people as a human it's within us and we need to be very careful about that but what he's talking to us about here in this verse is that god says i give them up and it happens in the mind that's where it all starts he gives them up listen to this quote by jonathan edwards and i'm going to follow it up with some scriptures it may not make sense until i give you the bible verses jonathan edwards i don't know if you know this or not the greatest intellect considered to be the greatest intellectual america has ever produced no one's ever no one's this guy's it and on july 8 1741 in the village of infield connecticut jonathan edwards preached the sermon normal sunday he went to his pulpit he preached the sermon it became the most famous sermon in american history to this day why it's not only by what he said and you could look it up it's everywhere if you googled it or youtubed it it would come up and you would there's there's been voice actors redo it it's not long but you know when he gave it by the way eyewitnesses tell us that he just read it he wasn't even an inflection in his voice he just read it and they said he hung under the pulpit and he read it and people began to weep and fall on their face in the aisles and cry asking god for mercy during his sermon something supernatural happened and people were quarter mile away couldn't hear it on horse and buggy began to get out of hor off of horse and out of buggy and kneel in the streets and began to weep because they were instantaneously convicted of their sins they didn't know why american history and our revolution is dated back to that sunday sermon that's when it started when you look at the pathology of what happened after this sermon and i'll read you a little bit of an excerpt because it's all important to verse 24. jonathan edwards said quote the one who is walking in slippery places is always prone to falling at any moment is that true all they need to fall into eternity is their own weight upon their feet there is no need for any external person or pressure that is needed for them to slip they are their own weight why did he say that because he quoted these next verses in deuteronomy 32 35 their foot shall slip in due time why god gives them up god's done their foot will slip in due time for the day of their calamity is at hand and the things to come hasten upon them this goes to the person who is rejecting god refusing god they know that they're sinning against god and they keep going down the staircase and god says i can't go any further and in that you're on your own and the your own weight of your person will cause you to slip eventually you will slip god is saying and no one will push you no one's going to grease the steps your own life your own choosing your own living without god that weight alone will cause you to slip psalm 73 18 surely you set them in slippery places you cast them down to destruction oh how they are brought to desolation as in a moment these are serious truths of the bible that people don't want to talk about but i believe because of the decadence and the darkness of our day we need to hear this now we all agree i would hope that the answer for america is not coming from politics it never was it's never going to it doesn't mean we abandon politics means we shine the light of truth into it but understand this without a revival in america america's over it's done there is no recovery she will that's pessimistic no it's not it's extremely accurate because listen in the next few weeks i'm going to be showing you data of what substantiates the death of a culture and that data is thousands and thousands of years old and if you're smart you take history and you apply it to the day you live in and then you can figure out what's coming next no nation has ever recovered from the condition america is in right now and that is a historical fact does it bring me pleasure to say it it grieves me to say it breaks my heart to say it but i do revel in the truth of the bible and the truth of the bible also says god will wash away all your sin he will forgive you and give you life because jesus went to the cross died on that cross for our sins and he rose again from the dead to empower that forgiveness and to take you to heaven and to wash your sins away and give you a brand new life thank god he's provided a rescue out of this world we are presently living in this world and it breaks our hearts the next thing is this it's the natural progression you know you know this there's the abuse of the mind the soul and i want to ask you before we press into the number two is are our minds under siege is our souls our souls being attacked as i've mentioned commercials amusement entertainment are not all these things vine for your mind so much to the point where we are designed like this but what you wear matters so much to you it matters to us isn't that interesting isn't it funny that a handful of people somewhere determined we're going to make this cool next year you do know how that happens yeah somebody has an idea in madison avenue and they determine hey you know what it's about time there's you know that's solomon he had it right there's nothing new under the sun which according to our sundial tells us that it's time for us to bring back bell bottoms isn't it a funny trick or this kind of shirt or this kind of cologne or perfume or this kind of hair you know somebody determines it you know where the power is the power is in marketing the idea you get it out there enough people will want it that's why you see people wanting ridiculously strange things did you see this tom cruise just bought one of these oh beyonce's got five of them and you never even cared about them and all of a sudden well where do i get one oh you can get a knockoff over here for a dollar fifty there's cost a million you can get yours for a dollar fifty and people will entertain it why because our minds are the battlefield the next step is the body look at this it says in verse 24 and 25 regarding the body the abuse of the body that god gives them up to uncleanness the word is specifically geared regarding sexual innuendo sexual context uncleanness what is that in the lust of their hearts the burning the burning the word is to burn passionately it is hot it is um gripping in the hearts lust to dishonor notice the act to dishonor their bodies it starts in the mind it manifests in the body i stop and ask you is this not true in our culture is it true in our world why are you so quiet you know it's true it starts in the mind and if we feed upon it it comes out in the body pornography pornography remarkable doctors now are prescribing more um more prescriptions for young men who are dysfunctional now in that area why 100 percent correlation young men cannot be aroused with their brand new beautiful spouse because they have viewed pornography for years there is not a woman in the world that can live up to the pornographic idol and it's destructive starts in the mind lives out in the body ask yourself if we're living in that age we're reading a 2 000 year old document and here we are it goes from the mind it begins to live itself out in the body why it says in verse 25 who exchanged the truth of god for the lie we probably won't get a chance to answer what the lie is that's in the next verse or so there's a lie out there there's a lie out there that goes up against the truth of god that's what it's all boiled down to there's a lie out there and there's the truth of god and it goes after the body i want to show you something soon i want to give it to you soon though because i don't want to give it to you at the end because it's a horrible way to end our day together and i mean horrible so let me show you the horrible stuff right now which is nothing compared to where we're going in the next few weeks it's to illustrate to you what starts in the mind goes to the body before i show you this there's been deviant characters since the fall of man why are there so many now there's always been rape in the world but why is it up in percentage now so much why is it there's always been abuse and torture and aberrant sexual activity and mutilation but why now in the multitude now and listen if that's you and you say things like hey my personal preferences they're mine hey you know what's a free country then why don't you leave them to yourself and stop propagating them upon everybody else okay if you want to drive if you want to drive your car off the cliff with you in it it's a free country i mean of course we have to pick up your crashed car at the bottom of the cliff so that's on us but but if you want to drive a school bus off a cliff driving it who do you think you are do we not live in an age where people are not content to be deviant on their own the bible says in the last days men will be lovers of themselves and they will prostitute pimp and destroy all other humanity for their own appetite and we're living it now the sex industry pornography human trafficking let me ask you were we talking about human trafficking 20 years ago no now it is every day and now we find out people that are involved are global names what's going on these are the last days paul's not writing to the romans for crying out loud it's the holy spirit writing to america that's what's happening right now and we as a culture we say i want to hear this stuff man i just want to go to church i want to feel good about myself later after three weeks you can feel good about yourself later we've got to go through the whole counsel of god and god is warning us about these last days nobody likes this in the uncleanness of themselves of their soul and mind it manifests in its body they lust in their hearts and it says that they dishonor their bodies the word dishonor is to actually dethrone or to take from its lofty place according to god he sees your body as something that he designed and it's his i don't know if you know that or not it's his maybe you're maybe you're brand new you just stumbled into this building today you need to know something your body doesn't belong to you the bible says god owns your body and you're supposed to manage it for him you're supposed to give your body over to things that glorify him see what are you telling are you telling me like you're going to be sexless all my life be celibate i didn't say that in fact listen let's read the fine print of the bible the book of hebrews says the marriage bed is undefiled peter tells us that a husband and wife should not stop having sex unless they both agree to stop for fasting in prayer and then once they're done fascinating fasting and praying they should come back together again immediately unless satan tempt them and all the men said that was your chance guys i just you go amen you should have said amen yeah listen our god made sex he designed it but the world steals it and messes it up the christian couple their sex life should be the most fantastic of anybody in the world and the world should be saying what's going on with you guys our god built it but we're to do it according to his design listen you don't buy a brand new mercedes and drive it into the ocean it's designed for something you want to go in the water get a boat god has designed you a certain way and there's joy and there's happiness and there's health and there's beauty but the mind is under attack you don't you just go up and abuse a body you got to start with the mind so here it is we should have like a fire hose uh to wash us off from this look to the screen first slide guys we have five of them this is this month as you know and uh this is for children by the way these are for kids we're celebrating pride month tap to color in the pride flag okay number one how many of your christians raise your hands okay put your hands on how many of you have kids how many of you little kids do they like the color kids have colored since eden i'm sure of it there had to be a coloring book in eden and the rainbow where does the rainbow come from god god made it and god said oh hey noah i'm going to give you the rainbow in the sky just to remind you i'm never going to flood the world again so when it's when a child goes to sunday school and finds out that god made a promise i will never judge the world through water again by the way read the fine print he said i won't judge it through water again i'm going to burn it next time no that's what he said i won't flood it again i'm just going to burn it so when your kid is coloring this and they're learning about god and then they go to target and they see this is your kid confused absolutely why because you got to start with the mind first before you get to the body right you got to convince them that something's wrong with them or something's questionable about them did we not read a moment ago to exchange what god has created into something else next time together we're going to look and unpack what that word means you won't believe it you will think that the world got their argument right out of the bible you how do they know that it's like they studied romans no god knew this was coming see be careful if you don't get caught up into politically correct theology there's no such animal this is truth and you're living in the last days and that's proof of it next slide happy pride month notice the the cartooning this is for children next one this is for kids part one what is sex babies kids teens grown-ups sex and gender really look at the bottom left-hand corner where the page number is what's it titled it's perfectly normal when you begin to read what's perfectly normal it's abnormal abnormal is being called perfectly normal so do you believe in science i do go to the notes on my website and look at this and then what we'll do is we'll have the links to all of these when we go through this but what i fail to tell you about is some of the stuff we're going to be showing you is public school books that are used in california today and oh don't think well that's one more reason why i'm leaving it's in all the states now okay so your kids probably unbeknownst to you your kids are being exposed to this stuff if they're in the public school system or if they go to places like sesame street where now there are two dads and no mom in a family or what about nickelodeon where transvestites are introducing themselves to your children on nickelodeon and you thought the youtube kids channel is you better go see it again you need to see it again next slide yeah this is fantastic teen talk gender identity by the way again science you see the word that's highlighted there anatomy that's a scientific term did you know that you all know that right did you take anatomy that's a scientific term gender identity is how a person feels and who they know themselves to be when it comes to their gender gender is not how you feel let me repeat that gender is not how you feel in fact let's just talk about science if a baby or a young person or an elderly person is in a medical emergency state of crisis and first responders from paramedics to brain surgeons are called upon to help this person live listen did you know that part of the treatment part of the approach to saving that person's life hemato hematologically chemically biologically you know that health physician expert has to make a determination on what kind of medications to give and put into your body and it determines the the treatment is defined by are you a male or a female because if we do if we mess with your hemoglobin as a female it's different for male and vice versa did you know that nobody knows that anymore and so governments are being sued because the guy was passed out the medics came they administered to him based upon his gender they figured out they looked under the hood this is a guy i'm serious this is a guy we need to save his life then his life is saved the guy finds out about it because he was attempting suicide it fine it turns out and he sues because he identified as a female in other words you should have treated me as a female but the doctor says i went to the science oh science forget about science it's how you feel you listen you may not choose to come back in our pre in our next studies but you need to because one's going to build upon another because guess what god speaks crystal clear about gender and gender identity and he tells you what to do about it it's very clear and it's it's life-saving it's life-saving it's liberty it's freedom it's life-saving but here is the mind attack to go get the body attack the mind attack is you can pick whatever you want to be insert the word anatomy and send total confusion into that kid's mind when you have a teen who is struggling with feelings emotions hormones and all the stuff that's going on bombardment of temptation because we believe as christians what the bible teaches a spiritual realm attacks them satan hates them when they read something called gender identity just the statement church family listen and then we got in see i told you it was overplay stand watch this just the words gender identity what does that mean gender identity when someone reads it gender identity if they listen to the narrative that's out there on radio tv and rap songs they have to conclude that that's a very open-ended statement that's a very open open-ended declaration gender identity i guess it's whatever i feel is that not what people are being told but you can't graduate out of third grade science believing in that what's wrong what's happened we're in the last days in the last days women will pursue women men will pursue men it's not just with the throwing of a switch it's a it's decades of pornography it's decades from pornography comes so often sexual abuse somebody by themselves looking feeds their mind they begin to burn inside the mind it's they're just by themselves and the result is them tampering with other people one final i think we had one more slide just to make you totally sick to your stomach sexuality is a broad spectrum notice the cartooning ladies and gentlemen i might i want to remind you your bible already knows about tomorrow your bible's ahead of what's coming and it's god's desire that you receive his truth notice i'm not beating you up and i'm not beating anybody up i'm pointing out what the word of god says it's in black and white in your bible and isn't it amazing that god would say please don't take one more step please don't take another step please don't take another step because he made you he's god and to live a life that he gave us against him is certain death and destruction and if you don't like what i'm saying find fault with it honestly so how can you say that that's so arrogant not at all you don't have any idea i find my strength i'm hiding behind i'm tucked inside of the bible listen it's the bible that will answer you the bible will the bible will be that mode that will cause you to have to think and begin to determine and conclude and i find it interesting that abner abnormal always has to borrow from normal to try to make a new normal and they just don't see the logic why because god has given them up i pray that it's not you i pray that it's not our children or our grandchildren but god loves us enough to tell us the truth well hey thanks for listening and uh we appreciate you and of course we do in this time and in this age us being together and linking up together to get
