questions um yeah phone center yeah okay good so anyway anytime if you have a prayer or want anything you can call and we'll be glad to minister to you i want to just turn over and share with you something that i've been studying the last couple of days this is out of first timothy chapter four and when i was reading this of course i've read this hundreds maybe thousands of times but i was just i felt like the holy spirit was speaking to me that this is what's going on in our society right now and it was really ministering to me and i was making applications of these truths to our present situation and i think that this will answer some questions for you you may not like the answers but this is the answer to a lot of what's going on so first timothy chapter four and verse one it says now the spirit speaketh expressly i'm not going to break down every phrase in here because i literally spent probably eight hours studying this and i could go phrase by phrase word by word but i just want to point out it says the spirit speaks expressly that means clearly this is emphatic you know there's a lot of things that it's sometimes not for everybody or it's not uh clear but this is one of the things that there should be no doubt about this is something that is definitely happening the spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a hot iron forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats which god hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them that believe and know the truth for every creature of god is good and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving for it is sanctified by the word of god in prayer and i'm going to go back and comment on all of this but look in verse 6 here it says if thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things thou shalt be a good minister of jesus christ nourished up in the word of faith and of good doctrine wherein to thou as obtained some people might look at some of these things and say well yeah this stuff's going on but man let's go on to something else you know this isn't all that important paul told timothy he was writing to timothy who was the son in the faith and he put timothy in charge over the church at ephesus and some of the accounts are that there was at least fifty thousand people on up to a hundred thousand people in the church at ephesus and they didn't have a central meeting place they didn't have one place so they met in homes and if you figure that there was a hundred people in a home well then if there was only 50 000 people that would be 500 home churches and timothy was over all of these and this is the instruction that he's telling him is to say these things about what's happening in the end times and doctrines of devils and the seduction and the syrian of the conscience and he says if you'll minister these things that makes you a good minister so there's a lot of things i could say from this but there are so many ministers today who will not deal with what's happening in our society and they certainly wouldn't say that the things that are being said are doctrines of demons and stuff and taking his own logic right here did you know that that is not a good minister of the lord jesus christ that's good i'm a little premature on saying this but i'll just say this real quickly and bring it out just today i was thinking of first samuel chapter 17 and of course i have studied that about david slaying goliath a million times but i've always looked at it from the standpoint of david going out and facing the giant and standing on his covenant and drawing on the fact that he had killed the lion and the bear and i've always looked at it from that perspective today i was looking at it as all of the israelites who when goliath came out they went and hid in the caves and they were cowards and they had the same covenant that david had they were the ones that were in the military they were supposed to be fighting this battle and they were cowards and the lord just made the application to me that if a minister isn't speaking out today when goliath these enemies that have come against our society and these things they're trying to push transgenderism on us and they're putting hormone blockers and little kids and destroying their bodies doing surgically altering things and stuff i guarantee you they're like these soldiers that are hiding in the dens and the caves you're cowards amen it may not bless some people but i tell you a minister that does not stand up and speak out on these things is just like these people in the army that were afraid because goliath came and we've got goliath fighting this nation today and we have to stand up and speak and so this is what paul is telling timothy that if you don't speak out on these things you are not a good minister if you will speak out on these things then you are a good minister nourished up in the things of god so let's go back and look at some of these things it says that in the last times these things will happen and if you compare this with some other statements by the apostle paul he said we know that we are in the last times because there's many antichrist in the world so one of the ways you can tell it's the last times is because of all of these things that are mentioned right here taking place and i tell you this is just like reading the front page of a newspaper this is what's happening in our nation so we are in the last times and somebody says do you think that the lord's coming back in our lifetime i can't tell you but i can tell you this it's my last times i've got an expiration date and i've got to do what i do right now so i'm living like man the lord's coming back anytime and i'm speaking out on these things so the spirit makes it very clear that in the last times people will depart from the faith man i could spend the whole night talking about that what is the true faith over in the book of jude it says that we have to earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered under the saints and i guarantee you there's a lot of people today that are not speaking the truth they're not only speaking they're not only speaking about not speaking about the grace of god but they have just backed off they are timid and they are afraid to speak out on things so anyway these are people that have departed from the faith and they have given heed the seducing spirits and doctrines of devils you know this is something that's very politically incorrect and will be a lot of people will find this to be upsetting but i tell you the things that are happening in our nation it is a doctrine of the devil it's not just people with a different opinion it's not just some people have a different take on things it is literally doctrines of the devil they are taking children as young as four and five years old and telling them that you were born in the wrong body you're actually a woman in a man's body or a man in a woman's body and they are surgically altering them and giving them hormone blockers and stuff i'm telling you this is not just a different opinion somebody that has a little different way of looking at things it is a doctrine of demons it is demonic and the people who are doing it are being influenced and controlled by the devil and again you know uh our programs get uh taken off of facebook and twitter and all of these things often matter of fact i just got an email this last week i think there was what six of our programs that were just taken off of facebook because we said something that offends them and i guarantee you this is offensive to people but this is what the word said and it's the truth these are doctrines of demons that a man can just choose to be a woman he can choose to go into a woman's woman's restroom because he feels like a woman today that is nothing but an excuse for perverts it's wrong it is a doctrine of devils and i know a lot of people can't believe i'm saying this but i'm not saying anything that the word of god isn't saying it is demonic and it is a doctrine of the devil now i will admit this there are some people who are being influenced by just going with the crowd they are just following the flow and they may not be demon-possessed and they may not be themselves being totally controlled by the devil but it is a doctrine of the devil they are following that but i think that a lot of the people who are in the leadership of this they know exactly what they're doing matter of fact if you continue in the second verse it says speaking lies in hypocrisy the word hypocrisy means that they are saying one thing but in their heart they know a different thing a lot of these people who are pushing this radical agenda where they are promoting homosexuality they are promoting abortion the killing of young people and stuff they know exactly what they're doing they're in it for the money you know we've had abby johnson the one who they did that movie about unplanned we've had her on our truth in liberty and anyway the thing that really turned her around was she she's helped perform an abortion saw what was actually happening and then she started fighting back and saying something because planned parenthood had that they were there to help women and that they you know wanted to make abortion rare and she saw that that wasn't the case and when she began to push back they told her that it was a money cow they are making a lot of money off of this and the people that are in the leadership of this they are doing it they are being driven by the money let me also say that a lot of the covid stuff we just had a meeting today and we were talking about this very thing but we had uh scott jensen i think is the senator from either minnesota do you know who i'm talking about no i don't we interviewed him on truth and liberty i can't remember but he's a u.s uh representative i believe and our senator and but he's from minnesota and we had him on here and he's also a doctor and they started forcing him to write on the death certificates that people were dying of kovit when they weren't and they had these orders and he pushed back and said no this is wrong this is violating everything that we've been told to do and they threatened to take his medical license away from him and he's the one that told us that if a person comes into the hospital and you know when kovit first came out hospital uh they people quit going because everybody was quarantined and stuff like this and they started losing slew of money and then this stimulus tech came out and he was telling us that if a person comes in with uh pneumonia medicare pays the hospital something like three or four thousand dollars per person if they have pneumonia but if they classify it as covid then they get thirteen thousand dollars and if they put them on a ventilator then they get thirty nine thousand dollars and he was saying that it is the money that is driving them to do these things they also get money every time they class a death as being associated with covid and uh i actually heard one report right here in colorado that a guy died in a car crash and because they tested him and found covid they put down the cause of death was coveted and he died from a car crash it is money the love of money is what drives things and there are people that are speaking lies in hypocrisy there may be some people fooled by this that are just following the crowd but i can guarantee you there are a lot of people that know exactly what they're doing they are killing babies because they are making money they are selling the body parts and stuff and i know that some people think well you shouldn't be saying these things this is the truth and if you tell the truth then you are a good minister you are like one you're like david you're standing up against this goliath and saying no further not on my watch i'm telling you this is what's happening in our nation right now there are people that have departed from the faith and they are uh giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils this isn't just normal you know even a carnal person a natural person without the influence of the devil would not kill innocent children in the womb a normal person even a carnal person would not sit there and try and get a young boy or a young girl to be dissatisfied with the way god created them and tell them that you're actually a another person in the wrong body you wouldn't be sitting there in and doing the perverse things that are happening today these are doctrines of devils and there are the people who are leading these charge are speaking lies in hypocrisy again there's some people that are duped by it but the people that are in the leadership know exactly what they're doing did you know the black lives matter movement that movement there's people i'm sure that got swept up in this we're going to have tony dungy and james brown at our men's advance and i've talked to them about this a number of times and there's many of the christian athletes that are in the national football league that are honestly thinking that this is something that they need to do and use their position to try and influence our society and change it and there's people that i'm sure are sincere but if you go back to the root of it you go back to this prentice colors that her and two of her friends started this and i've been to their website and they are saying that they are openly trained marxists they've been trained to do this and they are specifically against the nuclear family of a husband and a wife and children and they are against that they are actually trying to do it they they said that when they call people to start calling out the names of like george floyd or anybody who's been killed that when they call these names out they said what they are doing is channeling spirits they feel the spirits of those people flow through them it's demonic and they know what they're doing and they know why they're doing it now there may be people caught up in that movement who might think that the motives are pure and stuff but i guarantee at the root of it it is a doctrine of the devil it's demonic they're going out and thinking that somehow or another killing other people and burning businesses and stuff are somehow a godly thing to do it's ungodly it's doctrines of devils and they are speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a hot iron you know i've got a teaching on this entitled who told you that you were naked that's a quotation from genesis 3 11 and it's really a teaching on the conscience and every person romans chapter 2 around verse 15 says that inside of every person they have an in intuitive knowledge of right and wrong and their conscience bears witness and builds them up or accuses them over their actions and so every person has a conscience and when you start departing from the faith and giving heed to seducing spirits it doesn't happen all at once it's something that you you deal with and if you dull your conscience one time then the next time you can go a little further and it's easier to dull your conscience you know just make this real practical that many of you have gone through you know the first time you ever took a cigarette at night you probably thought oh man i shouldn't be doing this but you go ahead and do it and after you do it for a while you get your conscience dull to where it doesn't bother you anymore many of you went out and did drugs have gotten drunk or have done something and the first time you did it you felt bad about it but you can deaden your conscience and this is what this is saying that when a person starts giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of the devil and when they start speaking things lies they know it's not the truth they know it's not right to to do the things that they're advocating and they're doing it in hypocrisy they're going against their own conscience if you do that often enough you sear your conscience and that word seer if you look it up in the greek it means to cauterize just like if you had a cut or something and if you didn't have the ability to go to a doctor and get it sewed up you've probably seen movies where somebody has some kind of a wound and to keep the infection out and stuff they just take a hot iron or something and put it on there and it will seal that wound and it'll kill all of the nerves and makes you totally insensitive this is what it's talking about if you start if you start violating your conscience and speak something that you know is a lie and you do it in hypocrisy you know you're wrong but you go ahead and do it you sear your conscience you charterize your conscience you get to where you kill and deaden that conscience to where after a while you really aren't convicted about it i would say that the vast majority of people who say i there i am not convicted over anything i'm doing everything i'm doing is just fine i would say the vast majority of people who are saying that are lying in their heart they know it's not right but there are some people who have done that so often that you can reach a place where you no longer have any conscience about these things and that's a dangerous thing you know i wish i had more time i'm just going to refer to this over in second thessalonians chapter 2 verses about 7 through 11. it talks about that the antichrist will be revealed this wicked one who will proclaim himself as god put himself in the temple of god and pro exalt himself against all other gods and stuff and then it says that because he will do it through signs and lying wonders and that because the people did not receive a love of the truth god is going to send the people a strong delusion that they should believe a lie that they all might be damned now on the surface that looks like this wouldn't be right for god to delude people how could he judge them if he made them deceived it's because just like this they have violated their conscience they didn't love the truth they rejected the truth of god's word when they knew what the word said but they went ahead and did what they wanted to anyway and you keep doing that over a period of time you you sear your conscience you deaden yourself to the conviction of god and you can reach a place of no return that's a serious situation and that's one of the signs of the last times and i'm telling you brothers and sisters we see this happening in our nation today there are people that have gone so far that they have this strong delusion i actually talked to a man who was a senator and i was visiting with him and he had dealings with uh nancy pelosi in the house and chuck schumer and some of these people that are advocating some of these radical things and i just asked him i said do you really believe that these people know what they're doing are they actually intentionally leading america in this direction are they deceived and he said they're deceived they actually believe this stuff and he's closer to him than i am and it's very possible i don't know them personally but it's very possible that they have gone this direction so far that now they are in that situation where they have a strong delusion and they have seared their conscience and it it in romans chapter one it says that when that happens you become reprobate that means god takes all conviction away from you and you are just left to your own and you are totally demonized and i'm telling you this is happening in our nation so this could be sounded as very negative but here's the good news is over there in 2 thessalonians chapter 2 it says the reason this happens is because they didn't receive a love of the truth the love of the truth jesus said in john 17 17 thy word is truth god's word is true jesus said in john 14 6 i am the way the truth and the life if you love god and if you love his word then it'll keep you from these things that i'm talking about but we need to recognize we are living in the last days this is something that's very clearly stated right here these are signs of the last days and there is a strong delusion in people speaking lies and hypocrisy and the only weapon that you've got against it is a love of the truth so man you need praise god that you're watching a bible study tonight this will warn you and help you but i tell you we need to saturate ourselves in the word of god it's the only antidote we have against this amen so some really good questions i want to thank you guys for asking these again go down to whatever form you're watching on go to the chat section and we'll try to get through as many as possible so okay so question here from um kathleen she says how can we love people who have given their lives over to the enemy and are against righteousness and those who stand up for it how do you continue to love them well you can separate a person from what they're doing and you can love a person in spite of what they're doing but at the same time this is a mistake i think that the body of christ is making they're thinking that you just need to love people you don't ever need to say anything or do anything that would ever upset or offend the person and the ungodly have grabbed hold of that kind of thing and they make christians feel guilty if you ever stand up and criticize something that a person is doing i can sit there and tell you that what you're doing is wrong and it's inspired by the devil and yet i can love you matter of fact if i truly love you i'll tell you the truth for that purpose but also there is a place for hating evil you know i'm thinking of a situation one time we had a service here in colorado springs and there was a woman who was real religious and jamie was up just singing hallelujah playing the piano and he was real workshopful and i mean it was powerful and this woman just at the back she started going hallelujah and screaming real loud and just having one of these pentecostal fits so i sent my guys back there and i told them to ask her if she would settle down and anyway they came back saying she says it's god and that god is one is making her do that and so i sent him back and i said look the scripture says the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets and i said she can control it and so they went back and she was still screaming and she sent him word back that no it's god so i went back and talked to her and i said look here's the scripture i explained things to her and i said look this isn't god at the very best this is just your flesh it's your religious tradition and at the worst it's demonic but you are totally out of order doing what you're doing she said oh no this is god and so finally i just told her i said look that demon is leaving this service and if you will allow me i'll cast the spirit out of you and you can stay but if you are going to persist in doing this then you're going out with the demon and she just hallelujah so i picked her up carried her outside and put her outside and said we love you don't come back and did you know it was two years later that i was at a sporting event and she was up in the balcony and saw me and she yelled for me and she came running over and she thanked me and she says i thought that was god and i found out that that was just a religious spirit and she says it has set me free that's awesome so anyway my point is that i love that woman but i hated the way that satan was using this old religious spirit to destroy things and so i stood against the spirit and i would have been willing to cast the spirit out if she would have responded but if she chose to stay with it well then that she's going with that spirit and that's the way i've been praying against some of these political leaders saying god i pray that they get born again i pray that you open up their heart and that they become brothers and sisters in the lord i'd love to see that but if they aren't going to do it if they have passed that point of no return and if their conscience is seared with a hot iron then get them out of the way remove the devil and if they won't let him go well then take them with him yep that's the way i'm praying so there's time to get upset with people yeah so tiffany asked this on youtube she says how do you fix the damage already done to your conscience i grew up in church and then stopped believing in god in college now i'm trying to get back to the faith i know my conscience was seared for many years i just happen to have a scripture that says that very thing right here in hebrews chapter 9 and in verse 15 and for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament that by means of death for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament they might they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance you know that's a great scripture but i was really wanting the verse in front of that the verse in front of that verse 14 says how much more shall the blood of christ who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to god purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living god so the way you get your conscience back to where it should be is by taking the blood of jesus and purging your conscience and you start meditating on what jesus purchased for you and like hebrews chapter 10 verse 2 says you should have no more conscience of sin and things and so it's just through understanding the atonement of the lord jesus christ and applying that to you that you can literally become totally set free from that and have no more conscience of sin so that's the answer to your question is that you purge your conscience through the blood of jesus and that comes through the revelation of the word of god i just happen to have a series on spirit soul and body and one of the teachings in there is eternal redemption where i teach from these very verses so you can get that teaching in spirit soul and body you can call our helpline 719-635 and the people are on there right now and they can give you or direct you towards that on our website amen so uh devon asked us on youtube he says what do i say to my local pastor who refuses to take a stand regarding politics he won't say which way he feels for fear of alienating people in the church well i can say something well you know here's what you need to get across now you can be more polite and more politically correct than i am but just tell him he's a coward tell him he's just like those soldiers facing goliath they're hiding in dens and behind rocks and they're supposed to be defending the people of israel and instead here's the people on the front lines that are absolute cowards now that's the truth now if you want to put that in a nicer package and say pastor i love you but you know what you just you turn over to first samuel chapter 17 and say look at the israelites they had to have a young boy go out and fight and here they had all of these soldiers and the soldiers wouldn't fight they had to take a guy that was too young to even be in the army you can make it sound nicer but the bottom line is they're cowards they are afraid they they love the praises of men more than they love the praises of god that's what it comes down to and the lord showed me that the love of man the the very same thing was the fear of man because you want you you you don't want rejection so you want their love that you're willing to compromise well god created this for fellowship yeah it says that and so i think that it's inherent within every person to want to be accepted and so when people shame you and bully you and try and force you to do something everybody has a desire to be accepted so i can understand the temptation but to give in to that yeah is just literally your coward amen all right so that's the reason i'm not a pastor camille asks on youtube this she says hebrews 13 verse 17 says that we are to submit to rulers since they watch over our souls what do we do when when our leaders are not watching our souls but instead leading society astray through deception let me use that very passage of scripture to teach you what to do look at this it says which verse was that did she give it it's hebrews 13 here it is in verse 7. remember them which have the rule over you who have spoken unto you the word of god and so that's what she's talking about is the first part of this verse remember them submit unto them but look at the last of it whose faith follow considering the end of their conversation then the next verse says jesus christ the same yesterday today and forever we often take that fifth or eighth verse out of context and just say jesus christ is the same yesterday today and forever and that's true and that's you can make good applications of that but in context what he's talking about is you submit to those who are in authority over you and you follow their faith not always what they say but what they do and you remember that jesus is the same on monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday and saturday as he is on sunday so if the preacher is up there saying do this but then they're living something contrary you don't follow that and you don't submit to that yeah you do respect people in authority over you but you never follow any ungodliness and if they are telling you not to speak up and not to do these things you follow the word of god not them you can still respect them and respect their position but you don't follow any ungodly commands okay so um uh lena on facebook asks us she says how do you tell the truth to someone who is your client who is so convinced of the lies that you know no matter what you say it will only upset them are you sinning if you don't speak up against their wrong beliefs again it's hard to just say something that's going to apply in every situation but let me say it this way one time i had a man come to me and he was asking me for help and he told me his situation and god gave me the answer told me what the problem was and how to solve it but i knew it was going to be offensive to him it was going to be critical of him and so i was sitting here debating in myself god should i say this and you know what the lord spoke to me he says if you don't tell him the truth that i'm speaking to you then you rejected the truth for him you don't have the right to reject the truth for another person you need to tell him the truth and if he's going to reject it give him the honor of rejecting the truth don't you reject it for him that's good and so if this person is afraid to tell a person the truth because you know they aren't going to receive it you rejected the truth for them you don't know for sure how a person is going to respond i actually confronted a guy one time who had been the only person in the history of california indicted by the grand jury three times before he was 13 years old he was a mess he grew up in reformatories he was mean angry bitter long story but he was telling me some stuff and i just i knew the truth and i said you are the problem it's not these other people that you're talking about you're the problem and i honestly was expecting this guy to hit me or to do something i mean he was a violent guy but it was the truth so i told him the truth and to my surprise he just totally calmed down and he says i don't know how to operate in love and he opened up and he received the truth and it set him free amen and i wouldn't have ever expected it but again you can't reject the truth for another person you do not have that right we are supposed to you know it's if i was preaching and if uh carrie was interpreting for me into russian she speaks russian so if i was in russia and if she was interpreting for me and if i said something and carrie thought oh they aren't going to like this and so you just change it that's wrong that is not being a good interpreter we are supposed to be interpreters for the lord and if god shows you something and tells you the truth about a person you do not have the right to sit there and tweak it and to change it and make it politically correct oh so good you need to tell the truth man i actually had that very thing happen i remember a translator once told me he's like you know you know you preach and i'm i just have different beliefs i was like really so he's talked about him he said so what i'd like to do is i promise i'll translate everything that you say but afterwards after you're done preaching i'd like about 15 20 minutes to basically tell people what i believe and i'm like i don't think you have a job with me anymore you know because that's the thing if we're trying to you know say one thing in church and then i'm gonna say something different in real life so that people love me and respect me um you're you're a double-minded man unstable in all your ways because you're trying to live the truth and love truth but then be acceptable and love the praise of men so you have to accept lies and that's you get confused that sounds like a modern day preacher oh my goodness here's what the word says first uh timothy chapter four it's a doctrine of devils they're speaking lies and hypocrisy but let me interpret that that we aren't against anybody and we don't think anybody's real and you just take the heart out of what god said yeah that's happening all across our nation so there was a question that had come in here as well mandy said is there a way to have deeper discernment in regards to end-time signs and things like false teachings i'm hearing so many conflicting messages from different churches mostly progressive versus conservative christians and it can be confusing at times is there a way to have peace about my own beliefs and know what is bad doctrine or real biblical truth the number one thing that i do on that is you just get to where you know the truth so much you spend so much time studying the word that it becomes like just your default and you put everything up against that and that's how you discern yeah error yeah i've heard before preachers say that when they train people to recognize counterfeit money they don't show you all the counterfeit bills because there's an infant variety infinite variety and there's no way to know them all what they do they handle the real money and become so familiar with the real that immediately they recognize the counterfeit you can't spend your whole time following every cult and chasing every error that people say what you do is just focus on the truth and you get to where you know it so well that you recognize error by that oh that's good so let me ask this question because she said this and and this is something that people ask regularly the whole progressive christian versus conservative christian so you get the progressive christian that says you know we need to love we need to accept and conservative christians so what's the do you believe that there's a kind of a doctrine developing of progressive christians versus when i think of the word progressive that means that they're departing from the traditional truths of god's word and they believe that things have changed like for instance bill clinton claimed to be a born-again christian and somebody asked him in a interview one time if you say that you're a born-again christian and yet you are promoting homosexuality in the military how do you recognize reconcile this and bill clinton said that that was written to those people back then you have to interpret scripture in the light of the culture that we live in and things have changed and so homosexuality isn't wrong today now that's what i call progressive they're looking at this culture and they're trying to fit the word of god into a way that is non-offensive and doesn't do things that's what i call progressive i'm not sure exactly what progressive means but if that's what you mean that's just wrong that's demonic and that's a doctrine of the devil and it doesn't matter if the person's got his collar turned around backwards and if he's behind the pulpit or whatever it's still a doctrine of devil and you don't go by it i don't care who's saying it that's good daniel asked this on youtube daniel says it feels as if the church is not well prepared to fight against these demonic attacks what can the church do now today to gain momentum and be loud be a louder voice in this nation the answer to that's first peter chapter 3 verse 15 where it says that you ought to be ready to give an answer of the hope of the calling that lies within you and if you look that greek word up it's uh i'm not sure i can pronounce it correctly but it's the word we get apology from apologia apologia and so it's it's being an apologist and the word apologist doesn't mean you're apologizing asking forgiveness it means that you are defending the faith and we are commanded to be able to defend the faith and the average christian cannot defend their beliefs they may believe that homosexuality is wrong but they don't know a scripture they can't stand on they can't deal with the questions and so that just happens to be the reason that we are doing biblical worldview and cary and mike her husband are the ones in charge of putting all of this together and today we've had a slew of people in recording teachings for our biblical world view on we've already done the foundation series we've already done one on sex sexuality and now we've been doing one on um socialism and then we'll be doing one on races yeah racism and so what we are doing is putting together these uh units have how many teachings how many hours of time so they have 10 hours of teaching with panel sessions and q and a plus curriculum that you have you can listen to your car you can read it as well as do it online it's powerful just what does the bible say about what the world says is normal and okay and whatever your beliefs my beliefs whatever no we're actually building a curriculum what does the bible say it's so the one that we're dealing with right now on socialism most people most christians would say no we aren't for socialism and communism but they couldn't defend it scripturally yeah so this will empower you to do it so to answer that question what can we do you can get this teaching on biblical worldview and so we now have what three sets three sets yeah there was 12 hours i know in the first set and then 10 and the others and so that's a total of what 32 hours already and we're going to just keep on going this is going to be like an encyclopedia but if you want to know how to defend your faith on something you can go to these things it's awesome you know what i love about first peter 3 15 that you're talking about is it says when anybody asks about the hope that lies within you be able to give this apologetic be able to reason and tell them why we believe what we believe according to the word one of the things i always challenge people with if no one's asking you about the hope that lies within you then you're probably blending in too much that is a good point and so that's the thing if someone says what's different about you why do you talk different like why do you respond different that's the thing sometimes we're trying to push and trying to be the louder voice when god says live in such a way be so full and so such a lover of truth that people say you know i what's different about you you're like you're crazy man and it opens up that door and then it says do it with gentleness and respect so then there's the art with the love of god and the heart of god that you can speak truth but still speak it in a way that you're not slamming them up against the wall and slicing them with the word of god but you're not afraid of truth and their response because you know you're being led by the spirit of god amen that's awesome amen you really can be a lot nicer than i i'm not advocating everybody be like me but you need to believe the same truths now how you deliver it you know i've got a different ministry than some people if i was a pastor i probably wouldn't be able to get by with saying some of the things that i say but i just am the evangelist that comes in and blows up and blows out and lets the pastor deal with the fallout but you love truth and we appreciate you speaking truth so well so
