Jeff Durbin Confronts The Woke Church (Full Sermon)

well good afternoon you guys ready to fight i like this room rowdy christians lots of post-millennialists and theonimus we're in good company amen if you would open your bibles to colossians colossians chapter 2 now everybody in this room might be aware of my sins in the area of time and i just want to say it's not my fault we started 10 minutes late and gabe either thinks very highly of my abilities or he hates me because he gave me a topic that would take usually three or four months for me to cover he wants me to do it in an hour so hope you guys are ready for this colossians chapter 2 we're talking today about van tillian kill shots against blm lgbt and the abortion issue and i think you can summarize that in terms of saying biblical response the response of the word of god to these issues in a biblical methodology to unpack the problems within so i thought a good place to start is colossians chapter two colossians chapter two hear now the word of the living and the true god for i want you to know how great a struggle i have for you and for those at laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face that their hearts may be encouraged being knit together in love to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of god's mystery which is christ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge i say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments for though i am absent in body and i am with you in spirit rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in christ therefore as you received christ jesus the lord so walk in him rooted and built up in him and established in the faith just as you were taught abounding in thanksgiving see to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit according to the human tradition according to the elemental spirits of the world and not according to christ as far as the reading of god's holy and inspired word let's pray together father i pray that you would use lord the time we have together to glorify yourself to challenge us convict us to embolden your church your bride to proclaim the voice of the bridegroom into the world i pray lord god you would cut us with your word you would challenge us with your truth and lord i pray that you'd get me out of the way let everyone forget me and remember you and what they've learned here i pray that your truth lord would be rooted within us we would treasure it up within us so we can use it to fight in jesus name amen i have a lot to go over i cannot give a full message today on the van tillian method transcendental argumentation what i want to say to you and remember these two words i want you to repeat them with me pretend for a moment like most of you are baptists okay reid bonson what one more time reid bonson that'll help you after today's uh lecture so summary of van till cornelius van till one of the greatest christian philosophers in the history of the entire christian church helped to communicate and systematize a biblical approach to philosophy epistemology how do you know what you know and christian apologetics i thought i could do this at least as a punch one one solid quote that i thought expressed is sort of the essence of what van till was getting at when i say what van tilt was getting out we're talking about a reformed epistemology a reformed apologetic a reformed perspective of the word of god in conflict with the world and knowledge van till says this quote without the interpretation of the universe by man to the glory of god the whole world would be meaningless stop and think for a moment i'll read it again i want you to really embrace it and think about it consider it without the interpretation of the universe by man to the glory of god the whole world would be meaningless what's that saying that's saying that all of our knowledge all of our claims to certainty all of our understanding all of our claims to wisdom have to be rooted first in the triune god of scripture in his revelation fact of the matter is and again i'd love to go long on this but i can't we can't truly know anything apart from jesus christ without god's revelation we have no starting point no coherent starting point to make claims about logical consistency meaning virtue ethics truth beauty goodness mathematics without the word of god god's revelation all of the universe is ultimately meaningless and you don't need to listen to jeff durbin the pastor who loves to debate atheists on the street and do public debate says though i'm trying to misrepresent the atheistic position you can listen to dr will provine he's a dead atheist now a creationist professor of biology at cornell university very honest atheist he says there are no gold directed forces in the universe there is no meaning there's nothing that's absolutely true he says you live you die and you're gone you're absolutely gone when you die dr will provine you can listen to dr richard dawkins in his book river out of eating the river out of eden there is no good there is no evil there is only blind and pitiless indifference you can listen to dr carl sagan in terms of the essence of what is humanity what is this universe this experience we're having and he'll tell you we are stardust that's it you're all matter and motion and when you have a fundamental commitment to a worldview that is devoid of god's revelation as a starting point you descend into chaos truly the debate of all of life is between christ or chaos and that's it and we're seeing that in our streets today amen it's christ or chaos what we're talking about when we talk about ventilian epistemology ventilian apologetics we're talking about a revelational epistemology a revelational epistemology now watch here i know that it's been a long day and you guys have been here for a while but some of you guys might be saying i don't know what epistemology is i don't know why i should care you should care it has to do with knowledge claims people make them all the time when people watch the biden trump debate people made knowledge claims that's not true we know that's not true this is wrong this is false or people make assessments as to the ethical nature of the debaters rightly so what's the right standard we apply people make knowledge claims all the time how do you know what you know christians have a revelational epistemology we do not ultimately say that we know what we know because it's reasonable we're not ultimately rationalists although christians do employ reason we think reason is absolutely necessary but we do not have as the foundation of our epistemology reason reason blindly without god without his revelation gets us to certain things where we can claim certainty or we can get to knowledge of god rationalism isn't fundamentally christian as a bottom of epistemology and how you know what you know neither are we empiricists we do not say that you gain ultimate knowledge based upon uh evidence and gathering evidences and facts and and just observation we think empiricism is a good thing as a matter of fact christianity gave the world science so you're welcome so we do believe that you need to look at evidence gather evidence but those are christian things but devoid of the biblical worldview and biblical revelation empiricism is ultimately meaningless it can't give you a coherent claim to certainty no ultimate meaning we have a revelation of epistemology we believe we know what we know and we can claim it with certainty because are you ready for this very philosophically rigorous very intense because ready god said you afraid of that you shouldn't be that's our problem today with all the woke even jellyfish pastors they're afraid to say because god says that's why psalm 14 1 says this the fool says in his heart there is no god now i often say this i often quote this particular verse and i often say it's important to communicate that when the bible uses the terminology like fool we're not using it in the way we normally think in terms of just trying to give somebody a slam or a jab when god uses the term fool against the unbeliever in scripture it's a moral indictment as well as intellectual it's not merely intellectual it is moral the fool says in his heart there is no god when you say there is no god you are reduced to foolishness according to scripture colossians chapter 2 i just read at the beginning claims about jesus that christ is the very foundation of knowledge in whom jesus are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge they're in jesus christ paul warns the church early on about people who ultimately were making claims to knowledge the problems of gnosticism were plagued plaguing the church early on in our history he says see to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition according to the elemental spirits of the world and not according to christ so here's the thing there is a philosophy a perspective of the world and knowledge that is not according to christ which means there is one that is according to christ believers have all of our knowledge wrapped up in jesus christ i know what i know because god says you think about this it's kind of funny actually when you think about these claims because we're living in a world of image bearers of god everybody knows god paul says romans 1 the problem isn't a lack of evidence or a lack of light in suppression of truth they know god paul says in romans 1 but they suppress the truth of god in unrighteousness they don't want god in their knowledge they don't want to know him so the problem is they switch god for idols we have a world of image bearers of god who have to constantly borrow capital from god to live in his world in a coherent way so we just take it for granted as christians that we can say it is a certainty it is absolutely certain that you ought to love your neighbor rather than eat them you stop to think about that it's an amazing thing right simple we think well everyone believes that correct well christians can make a meaningful claim to that knowledge claim we can say it is absolute it is objective it is true whether i like it or not it is true whether my culture likes it or not that you are to love your neighbor and not eat your neighbor recently i had a little bit of a radio discussion with an atheist who wanted to come on one of our programs called provoked and on this program you're supposed to come on and debate the issue of pro-choice he was a pro-choice atheist he listened to the show he said i think i could take you guys down and so he said we'll come on the show let's have a conversation well shortly after the conversation ensued it was very very clear this guy was an atheist and a materialist he believes all that exists is matter it's just matter and motion so i started challenging him on his positions well what are you complaining about about any ethical needs desires claims as a materialist you don't have a basis for morality to begin with so why would you complain about pro-choice versus pro-life why are you here debating so i challenged him and challenged him on this point his position gives him no reason no right meaningful coherent right to complain against cannibalism and so i challenged him more and more you can listen to it and ultimately what he admits to on the radio program as an atheist is that yeah it isn't ultimately wrong to kill dispatch and eat another human being i mean if you're with a culture that says it's right i guess it's okay and he said ultimately i guess the most important thing is that you clean your plate ladies and gentlemen welcome to atheism welcome to the fool's world welcome to the image bearer of god that can't live in god's world without borrowing from him because this man in god's image knows that it's sinful and wrong and evil to eat another human being but when pushed to consistency and his knowledge claims he has to confess yeah the only reason i think we should need humans is because well it's kind of icky my culture doesn't agree with it if you're in a culture that does i guess it's not immoral i guess you know clean your plates don't waste anything that's what he says you see we have to understand as christians in terms of the van tillian method and what van till was pointing to in terms of a revelational epistemology and how we approach the world and knowledge claims is there is no neutrality neutrality is a myth neutrality is a myth the lord jesus taught us in matthew 12 30 he said whoever is not with me is against me you believe that do you really do you believe it in science mathematics logic politics the abortion debate black lives matter lgbt just consider it for a moment the lord jesus says with him there is no neutrality you are either with me or you are against me that one verse undermines the vast majority of the pro-life industry where they pretend neutrality and say we are professedly not christians in our approach to ending abortion we wonder why there's 65 million dead babies because we haven't made it about christ we haven't made it about the gospel there is no neutrality neutrality is a myth god says in his word romans 1 everybody knows him the knowledge of god according to romans 1 the apostle paul through inspiration the knowledge of god gets through to every image bearer of god the wrath of god is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth for that which is known about god is evident within them for god has shown it to them think about it for a moment now if god the eternal god the all-powerful god the all-knowing god if he sends the message of himself through to an image bearer does it get through yes it gets through the problem is not light or evidence it is suppression of the truth there is no neutrality now i'm going to do this quickly it's the quickest way i can do this to get to taking down blm and lgbt and the abortion industry so i think one of my favorite things to do in talking about world view and ultimate commitments is to talk about it in terms of what you're standing on the atheist has a worldview he's standing on claims about reality about ethics about metaphysics ontology he's making claims about epistemology and what does he say he's standing on a foundation let's hope this holds he's standing on a foundation claims about reality he says we're african apes we're stardust the universe is time and chance acting on matter there are no goal-directed forces in the universe meaning no purpose no intention it's just stuff happening in a cosmos that doesn't care about us there is no good there is no evil there is only blind and pitiless indifference that's what they say in terms of a view of the world and what they're standing on now the christian also makes claims the christian makes claims about god the triune god of scripture the christian makes claims about truth where do we get those claims from revelation god spoke we know that god speaks through the natural world the heavens declare the glory of god amen yes and that message gets through but we also have the special revelation of god's son in history here in this air and in this dirt in the real world in history but we also have the benefit of god's revelation delivered to us in scripture this is our claim to certainty so what are we standing on we're standing on god's revelation when christians make claims about logic that doesn't make sense that's not consistent why does it bother us because we have a god who does not change we have a god who cannot lie he cannot engage in logical contradiction we have a god that tells us one person's case sounds true until another one comes to examine them there's truth out there and we need to wade through those claims to find out what is the truth test all things hold fast that which is true christians have a basis for the laws of logic question real fast in terms of a metaphysic an ontology have you ever tasted a law of logic felt one smelled one how much does it weigh what color is the law of non-contradiction we don't know do we because laws of logic and math are immaterial universal unchanging truths that reflect the thinking of god they are fixed they are unchallengeable they are true right now here where we are no nashville no franklin and they're true in iceland because this universe reflects the order that god imposes upon it so christians have a basis with god's revelation to say things must be logical truth is important it's necessary christians have a basis to say you ought to love your neighbor rather than eat your neighbor christians have a basis to say this is right and this is wrong someone says how do you know that answer god said because god has spoken christians have a basis for science it's why the world got it from us and got such a big pop in science because we have a basis to say that the universe is orderly we have a basis for the principle of induction that the future will be like the past that we can actually gather evidence and look at the universe and study it in a meaningful way so we give the world logic and science and ethics because we have the revelation of god underneath us however the fool the fool stands on a different perspective of reality the fool says there is no god they say there's no meaning no good no purpose no order they stand there and they reject god and then they live in this world and the atheist has someone kicked down their door run in their house punch their wife grab their tv and run out the door and the atheist goes hey hey you can't steal from me and then the christian goes excuse me you're borrowing and they go no there's no good there's no meaning there's no purpose there's no order it's just chaos we're stardust african apes it doesn't mean anything ultimately the atheist stands in front of a television set with a news report of the school shooting and sheds a tear why not because of his claims about the world but because he knows god because he's in god's image and so we have to consider there is no neutrality the unbeliever pretends neutrality christian i'm challenging you to stop stop pretending neutrality the big failure i believe of the evangelical church in the west today is that problem of the myth of neutrality pretended neutrality the unbeliever pretends neutrality pretends like they don't know god pretends that they don't know his truth his justice his righteousness and christians step into the conversation pretending neutrality right along with them the answer is this whoever is not with me is against me two words read bonson say it you need to read bonson if you want to i think van tel is glorious but if you want the person that was a master at distilling that thought and systematizing it read bonson so we need to consider also just in terms of how jesus had fights in matthew chapter 15 the lord jesus of course is god in the flesh amen yes if you don't believe that you don't belong here in matthew chapter 15 the lord jesus has a fight now he could as the incarnate one appeal to his own inherent self-attesting authority he's god however the god man when he was in conflict in his day with people who had a standard over here that they treated as though it were divine other than the scriptures when jesus was in a fight with people who said no this is the way this is the truth you must obey this this is the methodology you must do these things jesus matthew 15 dwittled it down to this listen very closely and remember this the incarnate one said about their tradition he said you say and he quotes their tradition he says but moses says and then he says this listen closely hear it now thus you invalidate the word of god for the sake of your tradition so he condemns them the incarnate one condemns them for the tradition they had running alongside the bible that they said was divine in origin they were certain about it and he said you have to do this they were binding this tradition upon people and jesus says you say god says and thus you invalidate the word of god for the sake of your tradition put jesus in a fight and he says the word of god is the standard thy word is what truth thy word is truth it's the thing by which you measure whether that wall is right it's the plumb line it is the thing the standard the reference point thy word is truth and for jesus that's how he appealed no other standard would jesus allow ultimately in terms of god's word as the central reference point please hear this first conflict matthew 15 divine tradition alongside the word of god he says you invalidate the word of god for the sake of your tradition another example is luke 16. it's the story of the rich man and lazarus you're familiar with this yes there's a potent point jesus makes in this story in luke 16 it's a very powerful point in the story in luke 16 verse 2 it says this the rich man also died and was buried and in hades being in torment he lifted up his eyes and saw abraham far off and lazarus at his side and he called out father abraham have mercy on me and send lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue for i am in anguish in this flame but abraham said child remember that you in your lifetime received your good things and lazarus and like men are bad things but now he is comforted here and you are in anguish and besides all this between us and you a great chasm has been fixed in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able and none may cross from there to us and he said then i beg you father to send him to my father's house for i have five brothers so that they that he may warn them lest they also come into this place of torment but abraham said listen closely they have moses and the prophets let them hear them and he said no father abraham but if someone goes to them from the dead they will repent he said to them if they do not hear moses and the prophets neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead do you ever stop and think about that point stop and think about it in the story just send some kind of miracle to convince these people send some means to open their eyes like somebody rising from the dead some kind of miracle give some kind of criteria where they can look at the criteria examine it and say okay on the basis of that criteria okay now i'll really believe this and what's the word if they don't believe moses and the prophets they're not believing on that other basis the word of god is the foundation it is the reference point and put jesus in a fight and that's what he teaches us there is no other standard the word of god is the reference point in first peter 3 15 last point on this we are told to set christ apart as lord in your hearts this is the famous of course charter verse of christian apologetics it's been quoted for a long long time by christians throughout history we are commanded to always be ready to give to everyone who asks of us a reasoned defense for the hope that's within us yet to do it with gentleness and with reverence but that starts with the apostle under inspiration saying this set christ apart as lord always being ready with first christ set apart as lord there is no coherent or meaningful or faithful defense of the biblical faith apart from a submission to christ's lordship there is no neutrality you are either with me or you are against me here's the deal listen closely we need to say what the prophets said and do what they did let me say it one more time and i'm going to ask you guys if you are willing to commit to that and agree to it we need to say what the prophet said and do what they did agreed agreed we're going to test that later now in terms of going into the world and having conflict whatever the issue whatever the claim is i want to just say quickly there is the twofold apologetic methodology i don't have to go and i don't have time to go into the full description today or explanation i'll give it to you to do your homework later the two-fold apologetic methodology how do we do this how do we reason we should go to the word of god to ask that question amen yes we should ask what does god say in his wisdom how do we reason with people how do we answer the fool proverbs 26 4-5 two-fold apologetic methodology seems like contradictions they are not they are two different methodologies of dealing with the fool and it says don't answer the fool according to his folly or you'll be like him don't answer the fool according to his folly or you'll be like him if what he or she is saying is foolish don't adopt their principles don't adopt their criteria for knowledge don't go their direction if they pretend neutrality we don't if you adopt their principles you'll be like them a fool and the second part of the biblical apologetic methodology is to answer the fool according to their folly lest they be wise in their own conceits that's to say step into their position for a minute step into it show them that they're in a sinking ship step into their world view stand on it for a minute and show them the collapse of their system apart from jesus christ don't answer the fool according to their folly and then answer the fool according to their folly two-fold apologetic methodology all right how are we doing on time doesn't matter all right so let's do this we said blm lgbt and the abortion issue i'd love to spend two hours on blm and it probably would benefit us greatly right now but let's just talk about world view issues in terms of black lives matter black lives matter it's amazing when you hear that being shattered in the streets the average christian seeing the flames and the cocktails being thrown hears black lives matter and goes i like that because i think they do because i have a worldview that makes sense about that claim black lives mattering i like that make sense of the biblical worldview i don't know why they're saying it and maybe they're saying it in a different way than i would mean it because of their world view and it actually is the case many of you guys are aware of the factors go to the official website of black lives matter they confess and rejoice over the fact that they are trained marxists trained marxists talking about black lives matter now if you know the history of marxism and you hear them talking about anything you should be a little squinty-eyed trained marxist they rejoice in this that they are not just marxist but trained marxists it makes sense as to why we're seeing what we're seeing by the way if you know the history of marxism you say okay now i'm starting to understand a little bit better you see train marxists understand that they bring about their revolution and by the way revolution for the marxist isn't getting back to the foundation something that is true or objectively true getting back to that point as many early on in the war for independence would have said there's truth out there there's justice out there we need to get back to that foundation revolutionaries in the marxist sense are trying to get away from the foundation objective truth they're trying to create disorder and so of course trained marxists in history have all been all about class conflict class conflict now if you know the history of marxism you'll know that as they tried to get it into america early on they did what they did before and they tried to have it the rich versus the poor the rich versus the poor one problem though in a capitalistic society that's benefited from the christian worldview when you have people that are benefiting from the free market and private property and they're actually able to eat it's hard to pit rich versus poor so it didn't work out so well so more class conflict is instituted so what do we have in american history well the marxists get here and they say let's create class conflict rich versus poor all right let's also create the class conflict gay versus straight you know by the way that they they've stated this plainly in their materials you can read it read saul lelinski and all the rest you'll see that this has been planned for the longest time what you're seeing is the result of labor and work and consistency with their worldview and shame on us for not fighting back sooner why is it they don't even know jesus they believe that all they are is matter and motion and they're willing to die for what they believe what are we doing what are we doing shame on us but they believe in a worldview called dialectical materialism i cannot even begin to unpack this absurdity before you today but they believe in dialectical materialism what you need to understand at the bottom of this is their worldview claims the claims of essentially evolution matter in motion dialectical materialism for the trained marxist in black lives matter is they believe in a materialist view of reality it's matter and motion it's stuff moving around no god no purpose no order you are matter that's their position and in terms of the dialectical part don't get lost on this i know all this is stupid don't get lost in this but i know in terms of the dialectical we say what does that mean i'm going to read to you angles a quote from angle so you get an idea and i want you to consider the answer the fool according to their folly they say we need to do this these lives matter black lives matter black lives matter no justice no peace well that's interesting for matter and motion to be making claims like that engels said quote for dialectical philosophy nothing is final absolute sacred i'm going to give you just five seconds to think about that do you hear it answer the fool according to their f their folly engel says about dialectical philosophy nothing is final absolute or sacred is that absolutely true is that final but notice the sacred parts nothing is final nothing is absolute nothing is sacred for dialectical materialists there are no absolutes and nothing is sacred so let's test it black lives matter nothing is final nothing is absolute nothing is sacred we're trained marxists black lives matter no they don't not according to your position not according to a position that says nothing is final nothing is absolute nothing is sacred also bigger question here we need to ask the black lives matter crowd why does matter matter why does matter matter you see where's the borrowed capital here we can say to the black lives matter marxist you're not supposed to believe that that black man's in the image of god you're not supposed to believe that he has value and purpose and that black people are sacred that's my worldview i get to say that black people are sacred i get to say that they're valuable because i have christ you have matter in motion dialectical materialism matter doesn't matter in your world view it's borrowed capital no creator creation distinction in dialectical materialism humans are cosmic accidents and what happens in this indifferent universe to people with black skin is irrelevant in their world view and their perspective what are they doing they're sneaking over that foot borrowing from jesus in order to make coherent claims about their worldview but they can't make it coherent here's the claim anything mattering is mine why because i have jesus i have a foundation to make sense of a world where i can say anything matters at all or that human beings are valuable at all you see in my world view and this has been said before but please hear it there is one creator god one race human one blood red one problem sin and one solution jesus christ [Applause] and i think a potent question to ask the black lives matter marxist all black lives matter all black lives matter what about those black lives in the womb the most unsafe place for black lives isn't the back of a police cruiser it isn't even in chicago the most unsafe place for black lives is in the wombs of black mothers is that the truth then you need to say it like the prophets say it and do what the prophets do we need to be heralding the truth of the biblical worldview in the midst of this conversation and we need to stop pulling punches tell the truth all right lgbt how am i doing on time doesn't matter we're talking about the alphabet people when chappelle say that people that took half the alphabet for themselves all we can really do in dealing with this in one session like this in a few moments is deal with the slogans mostly with the slogans lgbt and by the way we need to add all the other letters on the on the top of that of course but they'll make claims like love is love love is love that's a fundamental claim and slogan of the lgbt movement so we need to challenge it we need to challenge it beyond the emotional appeal that's so often put together and packaged with it love is love just say okay i have questions love is love how about those maps you don't know what i'm talking about do you i'm not talking about dora maps you haven't heard of this well it's because it's gaining popularity you'll be hearing more about it miner attracted persons and people who call themselves maps today are adding their particular letter from the alphabet to the lgbt saying this is just a sexual preference there's nothing wrong with it i am just a minor attracted person love is love how do you challenge the map when your slogan is love is love without the word of god you can have no objective sexual ethic another question to ask the lgbt community with love and grace but like a prophet can you build a world without borrowing from mine if your life choices are so pure and righteous and just and lovely and holy and good and true can you get on an island and propagate your ideas and your species the answer no they can't build their world without borrowing from god i'm getting ads in my i don't know how i'm getting them but i'm getting ads on my facebook feed for gay men to participate in businesses without help them through surrogacy to have a child why is that because their sexual ethic doesn't work not only do the parts not fit but their sexual ethic doesn't work it doesn't build a world it doesn't expand humanity the unbeliever who's adopted the lgbt lifestyle and commitments needs jesus amen and they cannot help but borrowing from god they say this is lovely love is love this is true this is good this is righteous this is holy god is fine with this and if they continued that dedication to that sexual ethic one generation would be all it would take for their lives to be over and everything to be over for them so what do they have to do to continue the human species in the human race what do they have to do they have to stick their foot over into god's world and operate the way that god's world was created [Music] here's the deal also they can't build their world without government schools stop and think about it the lgbt community can't build their world without government schools how is this such a problem in terms of what our thinking is in our culture today here's the truth we gave our children to the government they trained them they taught them a world view and a sexual ethic we wonder why so many kids yield to this today so many people believe in this today we say where'd all this come from you gave them to them they can't build their world without government schools they make claims about their sexual ethic they say i should be able to do what i want with my body this is my choice i can't help it love is love i was made this way i was born this way and so we need to challenge it at the bottom and say uh so no sexual choices should ever be punished because love is love because you just feel like you were born this way what if the rapist makes the claim the molester makes the claim do we challenge people who engage in rape or molestation or incest or bestiality see the lgbt claims about born this way and these are my sexual choices love is love have no coherent response to those other choices what does the person who's committed to the lgbt lifestyle have to do to complain about any sexual perversion they have to put their foot back into god's world stand on his revelation ultimately about what's right and what's wrong to complain about any sexual choices whatever you see the person who's committed to the lgbt lifestyle is in the image of god amen they need jesus they need salvation just like me i'm just as broken sexually just as guilty sexually but doesn't change the truth of god they're in the image of god they know that there's an objective standard they know that there's an objective sexual ethic this is why we hand have hand in hand with our homosexual neighbor or lesbian neighbor at the trial of the rapist because we agree this is evil this is wrong but their commitments and their slogans make nothing sexually wrong or immoral or evil they can't know any objective sexual ethic apart from god here's another slogan love wins that was popular wasn't it popular years ago my goodness that was everywhere i even saw it on evangelical churches love wins the love win slogan well my christian response to that is this i'm all for love winning but we aren't to love the things jesus died for yeah last night um i was uh sitting down praying over what i wanted to say to you angry with gabe for doing this to me putting all this in one sermon i'm just joking um sitting down and i was literally getting to the bullet points trying to shave things off for you guys to make it where it wasn't overwhelming for you and i'm in the abortion section i'm like well i'll do this and i'll cut that out and i'll make sure that they know this this is an important element i want my brothers and sisters to know this and all of a sudden it was like i guess it was like 10 30 at night my phone rang and it was some number i didn't know and i said same thing you would say how dare you it's 10 30 at night what who's calling me at 10 30 at night that i don't even know and then i was like oh wait it's probably still on arizona time okay it's 8 30 there no problem so then i answered and i'm right in the midst of the abortion section and this woman says hi i'm jane from the democratic national convention and i said you have my attention and she said i just want to know if you're going to be voting for biden in the next election and i said absolutely not and she said may i ask why and i said i can't vote for a candidate that supports the murder of the unborn in the womb now she sat there from by the way i'm not beholden to the republican party i'm not i'm not like that i'm a christian who believes that jesus is king and everybody must obey him that's my party baby so she says well i don't believe that it's murder and i said oh i'm so glad you called and so he spent about 10 minutes and she stayed on with me i was waiting for her to hang up she kept staying on me so i'm challenging her world view i'm challenging her position and i said well all biological science says that from the moment of conception it's human and she's well i don't think it's a person i said that's the same argument that plantation owners used i said you'd have done well with them and she's like what do you mean i said well they would say you know i know it looks like a human is not a human it's a black person i said so that was the kind of argument they used very very similar and she said well no it can't breathe on its own and i said well let me ask you a question if i went to any of the hospitals right now where human beings are on ventilators because they can't breathe on their own and i cut their throats what would happen to me she said you'd go to jail i said right do you have another argument and so this went on for a little while i was so grateful so i was calling her you know repentance and all the rest and then she um she she says um well so you're saying that you're going to base the whole election off of one issue the abortion issue and i said oh i didn't know how much time you had if you want to talk about theft of income to the theft of income tax property taxes and the wickedness of government education we can do that next she said have a nice night sir by the way gabe was this water for me or did somebody else drink this rhona that's right all right all right quickly on the abortion issue go to end abortion now's booth over there our other booth over there with red state reform focusing on the legislative stuff is all over there make sure you check it out later we have tons of stuff of this online let me just do this simply abortion god says that he's creator he's the creator where is creatures that's a biblical worldview bible says that god knits us together in our mother's wombs bible says that all humans are made in the imago dei in the image of god so we are human we are image of god from conception and we have a worldview that says god creates human life he knits us together in our mother's womb god's word says you shall not murder it is murder in scripture it's the unjustified killing of an image bearer of god so according to the biblical worldview what is abortion murder say it loud guys the reason we have so many dead children in our world today i believe is through the church advocating our duties not telling the truth here about the issue of abortion we need to call it what it is this is murder and demand immediate end to the injustice no more regulation we want it to be over that's what we've been working for and abortion now raising up churches to save lives at the abortion mill preaching the gospel telling the truth offering help offering anything they need thousands and thousands of children are alive this very moment because christians just like you went to where they're killing them to preach the gospel offer hope and help and now they're alive because christians got off their butts and went to preach the gospel to save these children they're alive today you should join us we've also spoken prophetically to our legislature because we happen to believe psalm chapter 2 that the kings of the earth are commanded to obey god's son we believe matthew 28 18-20 that jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth here today and that everybody must obey jesus the call of the great commission is to go win the nations disciple them and teach them to obey jesus that's the goal i don't care what your eschatology is i happen to believe it's going to happen but even if you don't you're supposed to be about the work of actually winning the nations and teaching them to obey jesus i'm not ashamed of the fact that donald trump is called to obey jesus christ in his law i'm not ashamed of the fact that my governor in my legislature in my state is commanded to obey jesus christ and to obey his law and when we go to the legislature we go as christians calling them to repentance and demanding immediate justice that is very different from the pro-life industry you need to know that you need to know that now in terms of their definition standing on their world view biologically speaking it cannot be denied you win this argument it cannot be denied to the degree that today parole boards actually say i know it's human from conception i know that's true i still think a mother has a right to kill her own child they confess it now there's no denying it now roe versus wade is a terrible court opinion not law and it says what's in the womb is potential human life we know that is fallacious according to god's holy word and all biological science it is not potential human life it is human life from conception and we need to demand immediate justice but what is the definition even according to their own standards of what's happening in abortion well what is the unjustified killing of a human being with malice of forethought murder so according to their own definitions it is murder if it's human and it's an unjustified killing of a human with malice of four thoughts it is murder push them to consistency on that point biblically it's murder scientifically it's murder because it's human from conception if we use science to define what's there it's human from conception we need to get away from the personhood arguments they have been a losing battle why because you get with the secularists pretending neutrality you're pretending neutrality you're saying well maybe if it's heart is beating it's a person and someone says i don't think that's really a person well maybe if it can breathe on its own it's a person it debates rage on and on and on where's the winning shot is it human from conception they cannot even sustain an argument against that it is human from conception and the moment you look at humans that you say are not persons you're engaged in the same problem we had in slavery in america and in the holocaust i know it looks like a person it's not a person it's a jew human think about this vermont black lives matter what are they what are they saying justice for everybody right we're all the same we're all equal on what basis we're human fantastic thank you for that pro-life argument the only difference between what's in the womb and where we're all at today is a very good argument is size level of development environment and degree of dependence stepping into their own position it's human from conception the only difference is size if we can kill human beings because of their size my wife is in trouble level of development is not fully developed well neither is my nine month old or my 12 month old trust me environment it's in the mother since when do we kill other human beings based upon where they're located at the moment or degree of dependence i love this one they'll say well it's dependent upon the mother uh yeah and so is my nine month old and my 12 month old do we kill children because they're dependent upon their parents they'd be in a lot of trouble otherwise the arguments i'll just do one because i think it's a powerful one rape incest life in the mother you need to know this weak emotional argumentation only account for less than two percent of all abortions abortions are done at will in this country because they want to less than two percent are because of rape incest life of the mother i'll do it quickly rape ask the person what's wrong with rape i know what's wrong with rape according to a christian worldview because i have the word of god an objective standard to say that rape deserves the death penalty i happen to believe that god's standard of justice is the rapist deserves the death penalty that's how seriously christians take rape i believe that the rapist deserves a death penalty what do you believe they'll say they'll tend to say this i don't believe in the death penalty oh no you do you believe in the death penalty for the innocent child you think that children should be punished for the crimes of the father i don't rape they'll say well rape is wrong i'll say what's wrong with rape and they'll say things like what do you mean what's wrong with rape jeff are you crazy what's wrong with do i need to describe this to you i'll say please do come on tell me by the way van till would say let the unbeliever talk and keep talking and eventually they'll hang themselves so what's wrong with rape yes please tell me and they'll say well rape is the violation of another person's body it's doing things to somebody's body without their permission and you say thank you for that very pro-life argument on your own grounds you should abandon such a wicked world view i wanted to say this quickly i don't have time to unpack it go online to watch our stuff on this the pro-life industry says from the top that they are approaching the issue of fighting against abortion with neutrality they are not fighting against it as christians with the gospel whoever's not with me what is against me the pro-life industry has been compromised stop giving them money give it to your churches to send out missionaries to the abortion mills and to the legislature it is the word of god that's going to end the issue of abortion in our nation we have in arizona right now god has given us the ear of legislators in closed meetings private rooms we have legislators right now in my state because we have confronted them with the word of god and the truth of the gospel they are committed this next session to criminalizing abortion in the state of arizona we know it's going to be a fight but you know what happened we didn't go in there with neutrality we went in there with a firm commitment to this is what god's word says this is murder we want justice now you're commanded to obey god and they said you're right it is murder we're going to end it what time is it doesn't matter i'm almost done game just quickly in terms of answer the fool according to their folly the pro-life industry says well we need to obey the law in our country roe versus wade we gotta you know we gotta fix that court situation do you know his republican supreme court justices that gave us roe you think the supreme court is going to save you and they say we need to obey the law fantastic show me the federal law and abortion there isn't one and if we talk about obeying the law fantastic what's the law of our nation it's called the constitution and what does it say it says that congress creates law not the supreme court the supreme court interprets gives decisions but they cannot create legislation roe versus wade is not law ignore it the states have the ability to reject fallacious court opinions that are not in accordance with the constitution and we all know they have the courage to do it they're doing it today you all know how right it's called marijuana california nevada arizona colorado washington oregon you name is is it here too tennessee no anybody know can you smoke up in tennessee is it real close i don't know if you're showing me a joint or if you were saying okay now these states say i understand there's federal law about the issue of marijuana and the federal government can pound sand i'm going to do what's right for my constituents and my people and they reject the federal government's court opinions or laws and they flex their state sovereignty we're willing to do it for marijuana but not for these fatherless children and christians if the world can be brave enough to resist the federal beast to smoke up then what are we doing with these fatherless children we need to say what the prophet said and do what the prophets did i want to be very careful about what i'm about to do because i want you to understand why say what the prophet said and do what the prophets did the rules in my house you can ask my children the rules in my house a foul mouth is punished severely my children never grew up in a house with a father with a foul mouth or was loose with his lips if i was the curse in front of my children my children would be shocked and i praise god for that because before god saved me i had a terrible terrible mouth came from a wicked heart it was constant and god redeemed me one of the first things he did is he changed the way that i spoke you can ask for references for my family or my church body but we have to understand that there are different speed limits in different locations for a reason one of the things one of my heroes doug wilson says is that there's a speed limit for the highway and a speed limit for the sidewalk they're not the same for a reason you have to be more aggressive in the one lane jesus shows us this as well we know that jesus was known as a friend of sinners he loved tax collectors and prostitutes people knew it he hung out with him to the degree that he was slandered people were calling him a drunkard and a glutton but put jesus into a fight and jesus when dealing with spiritually dangerous things jesus tells the truth in hard ways he used a serrated edge jesus calls people sons of hell jesus talks about people as white washed tombs people full of dead rotting corpses you are dead jesus confronted people and warned them about hell jesus always told the truth and when put jesus into a fight read matthew 23 the meek and mild sweet jesus isn't there he is confronting people who are endangering people's souls i'll give you another example of how the prophets say things and how they do things if you don't know this i encourage you to get to know it i think our even jellyfish culture has lost sight of this but this is how ezekiel speaks about god's harlot's wife he says ezekiel 16 23 and after all your wickedness woe woe to you declares the lord god you built yourself a vaulted chamber this is talking to his people and made yourself a lofty place in every square at the head of every street you built your lofty place and made your beauty and abomination offering yourself to any passer by and multiplying your whoring you also played the with the egyptians your lustful neighbors multiplying your whoring to provoke me to anger behold therefore i stretched out my hand against you and diminished your allotted portion and delivered you to the greed of your enemies how sick god says in verse 30 as your heart declares the lord god because you did all these things the deeds of a brazen prostitute building your vaulted chamber at the head of every street and making your lofty place in every square yet you were not like a prostitute because you scorned payment did you catch that he says you're different than other because you didn't even want to get paid adulterous wife who receives strangers instead of her husband men give gifts to all prostitutes but you gave your gifts to all your lovers bribing them to come to you from every side with your whorings so you were different from other women in your whorings no one solicited you to play the and you gave payment while no payment was given to you therefore you were different that's powerful serrated edge god telling the truth about a bride who goes and offers herself to all the pagan nations but doesn't even receive a payment back she's just multiplying her whorings going out to all the pagan nations so in light of these issues blm lgbt and the abortion issue even jellyfish woke pastors you say homo lust is not a sin even though jesus said sin begins in the hearts you say we aren't under law we're under grace we don't need god's stipulated standards of justice yet you throw up your marxist communist fists shouting no justice no peace you've swallowed the member of the marxist denying what god says about our unity and identity in the messiah and you teach people that our identity is in our color shame on you you deny god's own word accusing people of guilt for the sinful color of their ancestors thus you invalidate the word of god for the sake of your woke i could do this by the way more pauline if you like you invalidate it for the sake of your scubala or i think if i want to be faithful and i want to say what the prophets say and do what they did i need to be more like ezekiel the woke evangelical is a who lies down in the middle of a burning city spreading her legs to the rioters and looters spreading her legs to marx angles zelinski and soros only she knows the history marxism and communism plunges nations into poverty there's no money in this for her but she wasn't looking for payment anyways the evangelical woke is a whose behavior makes cardi b's whop look like performance art for preschoolers pray that god removes these pimps from the pulpit and fills it with prophets who will keep his bride pure and faithful let's pray father use us for your glory put your gospel on our lips let your words be fire in our mouths and let the world be wood in jesus name
