"LOYALTY"

[Music] [Applause] [Music] let's welcome our audience thank you for listening to our broadcast today we want you to be blessed as well genesis chapter number three i would like to get right into my text thank you van and praise team you did such a wonderful job exalting our lord today thank you for all that you do to help us worship during the song service genesis chapter three and verse number six and when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes and a tree to be desired to make one wise she took of the fruit thereof and did eat and gave also unto her husband with her and he did eat the eyes of them both were opened they knew that they were naked and they sowed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons that'll be all the scripture i read because i have a lot of territory to cover in just a short period of time you know the word genesis which is the first book of the 66 book books of the bible the word genesis means seed plot or seed bed in other words there are things that happen in the book of genesis that you can find out carries through the other 65 books of the bible these things started in the book of genesis one of the things that started in this book that can be found in all other 65 books of the bible besides genesis is the subject that i want to deal with today i want to preach on the subject of loyalty many christians never realize that the first sin in the bible was due to somebody exercising disloyalty eve's rebellion overruled her love for adam as well as any respect that she ever had for the things of god she's accounted if you'll look it up she's accounted to be in one of the most wickedest women of the bible the reason why they've concluded that is due to her rebellion and disloyalty it's a universal curse that has absolutely condemned everything in our universe and in our galaxy adam's disloyalty for eve was an automatic conclusion of his disloyalty to god you always remember this any christian that will be disloyal to god will have no problem being disloyal to mankind the word loyalty is very simple when you look up its definition it simply means faithfulness fidelity allegiance devotion reliability dependability trustworthy dedicated steadfast or committed these definitions by the way in no wise our suggestion that we condone or promote what i call blind loyalty nor is it demanded that anyone defend any kind of wrongdoing in anybody's life blind loyalty is how churches lead in the cults you have to face facts and look at reality but at the same time it must be balanced with dedication reliability and trustworthiness there are several ways that loyalty is tested in the bible i'll give them to you number one loyalty is tested by the way people talk about you when they think you're not there to listen you remember when peter was in the judgment hall and a woman come up to him and said i believe you're one of his disciples and he said no i'm not and she came the second time and said you're one of his followers and he said no i'm not then she came the third time and he cussed her out and this is what he said he said i i never knew them i do not know jesus i've never known him he was talking about jesus he was being disloyal behind his back and the bible said jesus turned and looked at him peter did not realize that jesus was listening to his disloyalty and the bible said that he went out and he wept bitterly could i give you some sound advice as your pastor people that talk about everybody when you're around will talk about you too when you're not around that's called disloyalty you can detect it by the way people talk about you when they think you're not listening number two by the way people treat you when you need them the most you remember it was jesus in the garden of gethsemane when judas came and betrayed him with a kiss it was the 12 disciples the bible said in mark chapter 14 here's jesus needing his what we call hand-picked men more than ever before his sweat had just become drake great drops of blood the the angels had just been sent to minister him he drunk the bitter cup of the depravity of man he became sin for us he's going to the cross to die for our sins if he's ever needed a friend he needs one now and the bible said they all forsook him and fled loyalty is tested best when you need a friend the most let me tell you what a real friend is a real friend is somebody you find standing by your side when they have every reason in the world not to be you can chalk them up that is a true friend how to treat people treat you when you need them number three by the way people try to shaft you after all you've done for them when i think about judas it amazes me the bible said he betrayed the innocent blood that that word means he was disloyal to his cause and his christ after three and a half years jesus had fed him clothed him taking care of him done miracles in front of him he had raised the dead made the blind the city the lame the walk he had put broken families back together he had cast demons out of people and for three and a half years judas had everything that he needed never did he work a job he never got on obamacare he never got on welfare he never drew a social security check all those years jesus took care of him and loved him and he turned on him i want you to always remember this the people you help most will be the people that will end up hurting you to worse [Applause] the word disloyalty comes from words like betrayal treason did you know back from world war ii on back if an american committed treason and they came back to the states they hung them they hung them because they said they were proud to be an american until a war broke out then they sided with the enemy then when the war was over they wanted to come back to this country and america said sure come on back and they hung them on main street that was called betrayal that was called disloyalty it's also referred to as backstabbing heartless fake or being two-faced some of you have so many personalities we don't know which one you're going to wake up with every day of the week disloyalty has become a common denominator in this country i want you to know that i'm a street man i've always been a street man i have slept on sidewalks and park benches i have walked by restaurants hungry with no food in my no money in my pocket to buy food i know what it's like to go to a home where it's not convenient to be there i know what it's like not to sleep without a mattress till i was 15 years old on a floor so i was raised on the street i left home at 13 and joined the street gang 16 of us chartered it a year later i was the president of the gang we had over 250 members and there's one thing i learned on the street that you're not going to get away from me and you're not going to take from me and that's the importance of loyalty if you mess with one of us you mess with all of us we were loyal to each other i've never experienced the disloyalty in life as much as i have since i become a christian then way before i ever become a child of god this isn't the brag on anything that's sinful but people in bars are a whole lot more loyal to each other than most christians are to each other and the cause of christ so now the plague of disloyalty has become a common denominator in our country it's almost accepted as a way of life did you know god condemns this loyalty he said there's no variable of turning in him there's no shadow of darkness god said i am what i am you can take me for what i am i will always be what i am and i'm not changing for you or anybody else and god's that way and we're his children and we're supposed to be like god we ought to be the same way we ought to be what we are everywhere we are now i want to talk about some of the greatest disloyalties that i'm seeing today and then speak on the subject of loyalty for just a minute number one i have never felt so disor dis loyaled i've never felt so abandoned and betrayed as i have in the political world that i have to live in right now men and women will declare anything on the campaign trail then on the god you vote them in in 30 days in washington they do exactly opposite of what they said they were going to do while they were on the campaign trail because of our outreach to 10 different states and over 70 countries now politicians call me all the time when it's their year to come up for election wanting me to either support their calls or to mention their name or campaign from this pulpit you have never heard me endorse any kind of campaign i've told you my personal beliefs but i've never endorsed anybody and i'll tell you why i don't trust them they've been disloyal i have no confidence i have zero confidence in washington dc and anything that's up there involved in it the approval rating for the politicians in the united states of america is at an all-time low of only seven percent only seven percent of all american people have any confidence in the loyalty of our government there is not a company i've owned 15 companies in my life there is not a company in the world that can survive if your leadership and your ceos only had a seven percent approval rate and loyalty rate by those that they unemployed yep the politicians go right on and act like everything's peachy and cream in our country sad to say the common hard-working honest people do not trust politicians and i'll tell you why in case some of you pop belly pigs are listening to me today i'm going to tell you why i don't trust you as far as i can throw you you've lied to us you raised our taxes you stole our social security you lied to us you passed laws in the middle of the night you want to stop doing the pledge of allegiance in the different chambers of congress you embrace socialism you mock conservative values you forsaken our veterans you starve our retirees you're trying to drown our free speech take away our guns close our churches let the elderly die while you let fuds burn our cities bash our cars steal our products and block our highways that's why i don't have any trust in politicians [Applause] i trust the government like i do a cross-sided cap-tooth female rattlesnake going through menopause that's how much i trust washington d.c number two i know what you want me to do and i'm not going to do it i'm not going to do it [Applause] number two there's a great disloyalty not only in politics but in partnership i'm referring to marriage over 10 percent of married couples live without any level of loyalty or trust at all zero you prove your loyalty in a marriage relationship by not cheating on each other not showing disrespect to each other mentally or verbally having no secrets there is something wrong with a husband and wife that you got private codes to get in your computer and your phone and your husband don't know him and your wife don't know him something bad wrong with your relationship why would it bother you that your wife can look what's on your phone why would it bother you that your husband can go to your computer and see where you've been going if you don't have anything to hide and you are loyal to each other we should not have to have a fingerprint to get in our phones can somebody say man right there you don't have any private codes on your phone or computer you don't lie to each other you keep the priority of your marriage above everything including gains and relaxation and fun and even family you got to be loyal to one another you got to be dedicated no partner should go to bed and doubt your love your dedication or your commitment to them somebody said well love keeps our relationship together then it's never going to last now you listen to me loyalty is stronger than love let me say it again when you got married you didn't get married to prove you loved her you had taught or proved you loved him you had settled that a long time ago that's why you're getting married you are not making a public love you are making a public commitment you are making a public loyalty forsaking all others i'll take care of you i'll be there through sickness and health for better or worse till death do us part that's not love that's commitment that's loyalty you can't have a long-term relationship if it's only on love and i'll tell you why love is an emotion there are seven structures that institute the framework of humanity emotions is one of those seven it's the weakest out of the seven it's the most untrustworthy out of the seven yet that's what people build most of their lives on i don't feel like it i fell out of love really you fell out of love where did you fall to when you fell out of love you don't get married because you're in love you love them long before you marry them you get married because you want to make a commitment i belong to you and you belong to me and some of you looking pale but i'm going to preach anyhow you don't stay married because you feel you're in love all the time and if you're dumb enough to believe that you might as well get you an attorney now because you're never going to make it because there in 45 46 years they've been a lot of times i didn't feel like i was in love but i'm gonna tell you why i didn't go out and get drunk i'm gonna tell you why i didn't go back to the bars i'm gonna tell you why i didn't go back to the streets i'm gonna tell you why i didn't go back to drugs i'm gonna tell you why i didn't go back to a lot of the things that god saved me out of because i had made a commitment to god and i made a commitment to my wife that i was going to stay with you for better or worse i had no idea that most of it was going to be worse but it was a commitment that i made [Applause] it's a commitment and this is why this generation is shacking up see people are coming out and saying oh marriage counseling is working divorce rate is down let me tell you why it's down nobody's getting married anymore everybody shacking up everybody nobody gets married anymore let me tell you why people shack up instead of getting married there's no commitment there's no loyalty you're free to come you kind of live together and see how things are going to be then if it works out you get married that ain't never worked out for anybody it's a commitment your partner needs to know that you love them they ought to be able to trust you one of the most important values of a healthy marriage is one simple word trust one day adam was walking through the garden and eve come up and said i think you're cheating on me he said honey i i i'm not cheating on you she said i don't know i just feel like you are i just there's something and i just feel like there's another woman he said honey believe it or not it's not another woman and she said well i just i don't know i just don't trust you anymore i just feel like there's somebody else in your life besides me so he just kind of shrugged it off and thought nothing of it and he was laying in bed and he felt something poking in his back and he turned around and he said what are you doing she said i'm counting your ribs i'm making sure there's not another woman coming out of your rib [Applause] loyalty to your partner this is why you got to stay out of chat rooms this is why you you filter what you go to on your computer this is why even you young people i've warned your parents and i want to warn you you get into these universal games all over the world and you parents you're sitting in there watching tv as the world burns and general horse puddles and all that other garbage and your kids somewhere in australia talking to some fruit loop freak over there next thing you know your son's dating some broad out of africa somewhere you don't even know what's going and they're doing it off a little computer game sitting in your living room are you listening to me and all of a sudden they get infatuated with this idiot they don't even know at all they fall in love how could you fall in love with an xbox you idiot are you kidding me these people are crazy oh i know i'm preaching and i need to princess did i tell you what i'd do if i was you i'd rip that crap out of my house i'd throw it out in the yard and i'd burn it before i'd let some devil in another country rape my son or daughter's mind and put them in a gutter that they have no business being in i throw it out throw it out that's why as a parent you have a right to know everything that's going on in their room you have a right to know everything that's going on in their cell phone you have a right to know everything that's going on on a computer and the only kid that has a problem with that is a kid that is not loyal to the teaching the obligation and the instruction of their parent you're the only one that'll get mad at that which leads me to my third point the disloyalty of parenting we are now living in a generation that can divorce their parents you can go before a judge and legally be separated from your parents you must understand young people i know at this point you're brain dead you're a know-it-all and you're an exception to the rule but let me give you some sound advice as an old man parents are not perfect you did not come with an owner's manual or a program that we can download to learn how to raise your right we're learning this thing just like you are at the same time in a long life's journey while raising you as parents we got to adjust and rethink and apologize and enforce and proclaim and demand we have to understand we have to listen we have to reconsider and we all have to sacrifice and i want to remind you little boys and girls it was us that changed your diapers fed you when you cried we were the ones that taught you how to walk that little lady beside you is the one that taught you to say mama she's the one that potty trained you and we'll do without so you can have some things we'll kiss your booboos and we'll wipe your tears we'll drive you to the school games we'll buy all your food and clothing we'll help you with school work we'll even plan your college for you buy you your first car supply all your phones monitor your friends worry about you cry over you stay up at night be there for you when nobody else is only to see the day when you turn 18 and listen to you call us names scream i hate you and walk out of our lives like we're some kind of monsters down the road young man young lady when your brain finally catches up with your butt you'll try to fix this if you live long enough you'll try to fix this but i want you to know as a parent and a grandparent we know how to forgive we embrace a second chance and we want to make things work but you have wounded your parents with a mortal pain that will never cease to be in their body until their last breath is exited from life by the way you little smart alec punk i hope i live long enough to see you have kids and then maybe you can show us dumb parents that you hate how easy it is to raise a spoiled brat i am living proof that i never spoke back to my mom and dad for i would not be here today i still have all my teeth which is living proof i never yelled back at my dad i never thought of saying i hate you to my mother because she didn't do something i wanted to do what manipulative devil would dare say i hate my mom and dad simply because you had some little whim of emotion that you wanted them to cow down to and because they didn't you indict them that they don't love you let me tell you boundaries are not easy to hold up we're just trying to keep you from screwing up your life winding up in jail and hell so if you're going to get mad at us you get mad at us all you want but we can lay our head down at night in the one faith we did our dead level best to do right when you understood it and when you didn't understand it you owe loyalty to your parents the bible said if you're wise you rise up and you call your mom and dad blessed that doesn't mean they were perfect that doesn't mean they didn't make mistakes that doesn't mean they didn't have to make adjustments but just for the record's sake you do know your mother could have aborted you you understand you're here because she loved you with an everlasting love that only god himself can understand they're feeble they do without everything so you can have a few things and i couldn't imagine my furthest imagination somebody looking in the eye of their mother and father and expressing hate shame on you you ought to be ashamed of yourself and i would never pillar my head tonight until i got this right with my mom and dad and let them know that i was young and stupid and i was speaking out of my mouth and not out of my heart disloyalty disloyalty all these kids talk about how bad they got it standing there with their 500 shoes on tennis shoes that light up every time they take a step it has a rock concert every time they take a step on their tennis shoe and they're standing there with their thousand dollar phone in their hand and their 250 dollar coat and they talk about how rough it's got you need to shut up and suck an egg that big you don't know what rough is honey you don't know how good you've got it and i'm gonna tell you as your pastor you're not gonna talk to your parents like that in this church i can't handle what you do at home it's none of my business you're not going to tell your parents to shut up you're not going to tell them you hate them you're not going to push on them you're not going to be disrespected i got a security team here we will throw you out that door that is not happening in this church i don't care how tough you are how old you are i will throw you out of this building number three i want to talk about being disloyal to your pastor pastors are more fearful of disloyalty than ever before as a matter of fact they're so afraid they won't even preach on it may i remind every pastor that's listening to me i don't care how good and godly you think your congregation is you're only one situation away from the best people you got turning on you one thing you've never heard me do here in the eight years that i'm pastoring you have never in this pool peter out heard me say one discouraging word about the former pastors of this church i've not made in my ministry to try to hurt those that had invested in people's lives prior to me getting here i'm not going to cut them down and i'm not going to downgrade them god used them to help many of people while they were here and we relish and we honor their memory even though they're silent in the grave today preachers are not perfect may i remind you we're just god called dust trying to serve god and the minister to a group of people needing strength and encouragement you got to be careful people kind of slither stuff in you on you about your pastor and i ain't afraid to preach on this by the way don't bother me to preach on it i'll preach on it every sunday you gotta watch people kind of slither stuff in you know i'm not gossiping i'm just telling you this because i want you to pray about it no they're not they're gossiping and they're using prayer as an excuse as an open door i'll never forget when i first got called to preach i was typing up the prayer sheet for wednesday nights at our church and a lady called from our church and she said to me she said man you're a fantastic preacher you're going to be a great preacher and i'm thinking and boy she was bragging on me and telling me i was the next billy sunday and i didn't even know who that was and i'm thinking man what is she talking about and she said you know if you would ever start a church i know some people that you know would leave and help you and started she said you know we're just not getting fed our pastors just don't seem to be plugging in and and uh you know we just kind of thought about maybe i swear hey wait are you saying you think there's something wrong with the preacher she said well yeah you know in a prayer for a while well great great because i'm typing up the prayer list and i'm going to type in here for wednesday night to pray for our pastor because you're not getting fed and you don't think he's doing a proper job and he needs to tighten up some things and i will definitely put it down that you made this request that's been 45 years ago that hag has never dialed my number again she has never wanted to be around me again the fact that you would even listen to somebody spew in bitter garbage about your pastor from their ungodly filthy tongue tells me everything about you that i need to know here's what your bible says evil communications corrupt good manners you get to listen to that filth you'll get this you'll get the second guessing god the church the bible the man of god that god's put in your life over some lizard tongue jezebel nobody that's not even a member of this church wouldn't give a dime to see an aunt eat a bale of hay and you're going to let them tell you what kind of pasture you got you need to tell that jezebel to shut her mouth what goes on at emmaus is none of your business it's not a and i don't care if it is your daughter i don't care if it is your granddaughter and i don't care if it is your sister and i don't care if it is your mama you all tell me shut up if they can't say something good about the man of god just leave the conversation alone [Applause] and by the way preachers get misunderstood i got a letter a couple weeks ago and said i can't believe you're a pastor driving a hummer i wrote her back i said pray for me bless god i'm looking at a helicopter and ain't none of that fat hussy's business what i drive if i drive a hummer if i drive a rolls-royce if i drive a mercedes ain't none of her business she ain't paid for and her husband ain't got the guts to tell her to shut up [Applause] am i preaching now one man went up to br lincoln one day and said i feel like you're ruining your ministry he said why what am i doing to ruin my ministry he said well i saw when you pulled up at the church today you were in a cadillac and he said i just don't think preachers ought to drive cadillac's i think it'll ruin you he said it didn't ruin your doctor he drives a cadillac his business is still doing fine and the man turned around as a smart aleck and said well jesus wrote a jackass b.r lincoln turned around said yeah if you'll put a saddle on i'll ride you hey now your business while i drive it ain't none of your business where i buy my clothes it ain't none of your business how many diamond rigs are god hey none of your business how big my house is you ain't paid for it so shut up [Music] [Applause] but this is a two-way street preachers need to be just as loyal to the people as he expects the people to be to him it's amazing to me how preachers talk about how they love the ministry love their people love their church until a bigger church comes open for a pastor then all of a sudden behind the people's back they're sending out resumes all the time talking about how much they love the church and love their people and all the time they're on computers sending resumes it and it's strange brother randy they always send resumes to bigger churches they never send one to a struggling church they never send one to a church that's hurting they never send one to a church that can't pay them a full-time salary oh don't know they always send their resumes behind the people's back to a bigger church somebody called me the other day and said would you like this church i said brother i'm disgusted with the one i got why in the name of god would i want another church are you out of your mind it's like a mother-in-law one per lifetime is enough for me baby it's dishonest for a man to say he's dedicated to his church and all the time putting feelers out trying to leave and not being honest with his leadership team and his people that's not fair to those people and that's why when you leave they don't trust the next preacher that comes because you were disloyal to them while you were there and they think we're all they think we're all a bunch of money hungry suckers just looking for a greener pasture to go to look god sent me here i don't care if we run two or two thousand i'm not leaving till god tells me to leave and when i leave i'm gonna leave just as much in the will of god as i was in the will of god when i came here so it doesn't matter if you shout or pout if the church grows or not it doesn't matter if the money comes in or not that's not why i'm here god sent me here this is my field this is where i'm going to labor and i'm going to be loyal to you all the days that i'm here i know i'm out of time i know you keep looking at your watch [Music] i want to talk about being loyal to the place of worship this proof is manifested in the absence of you from the assembly many people have no level of loyalty to the house of god anymore somebody come to me not long ago we closed wednesday nights down because um of this cove virus nonsense so so you remember we shut wednesday night down we said let's close down that everything gets settled so a guy and he's here today and i love him and he loves me he's just got problems he got he come up to me not long ago and he said when we're going to start having wednesday nights again and he's never been the one i said when you start coming every sunday so until you start coming every sunday you ought to shut your mouth about worrying about a wednesday that you never came to in the first place am i still preaching now [Applause] the same crowd that hits and miss the church and has no dedication never gives never ties never supports never goes to the altar never praise never invites anybody they're the same one that screams how much they need a church once it's closed and it's gone if the average christian treated their job and their marriage like they do their church they would be homeless and divorced by this time next week the bible tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves that word forsake means be disloyal turn your back on be unfaithful to most christians are like a broken tooth and a foot out of joint they look good but if you put any kind of dependency on them they'll fall apart before your very eyes i didn't have to make myself come to church today it was not a job for me to come to church today i didn't have to convince myself that i needed to be here today i didn't worry about a family gathering i don't worry about my cat having kittens i'm not worried about my dog having the crew i'm not worried about it being below freezing on the outside it you know i just feel so sick there's just something thick about me i don't feel right but i tell you by six o'clock monday morning god has healed them they're up going to work foot loose and fancy free sucking on their starbucks listening to their country western music but oh on sunday yes i know i'm preaching some of you old-timers you've wore the rubber wheels off your oxygen tank dragging them to every flea market between here and hell but you've never drug it to the house of god because you don't breathe good i tell you what get in here and let me preach in about half time i can help you take a deep breath every now and then but it's a funny thing that we're we're only scared of the virus at church we're not scared of it we're not scared of it at family gatherings we're not scared of it at parties we're not scared of a pigeon forged we're not scared of it at restaurants but oh don't go to church you'll get the virus that's the biggest bunch of hogwash i've ever heard in my life and i want to serve nervous as long as abortion clinics are open as long as liquor stores are open as long as whorehouses are open this church will be open [Applause] be loyal to the place of your assembly and in closing i just want to say this be loyal to your own person be loyal to yourself i took a little long i apologize but don't don't be afraid to be what god made you the peer pressure of fitting into molds is dramatic it's it's dramatic young people are killing themselves because they can't fit to levels that their friends want them to get to so suicide and bullying has overtaken our country in our schools and even into our college levels now it's awful i was talking to a student here today their principal brought up the thought of taking the pledge of allegiance out of public schools right here in kingsport tennessee the fact that a principal would even think that he or she should be dismissed they have no business with my tax dollars paying the salary of a principal that does not want the pledge allegiance said in our schools they ought to fire them and run them out of the school system they don't deserve to be a janitor much less a principal and tell your principal to watch me friday night on tv and i'll say it on television be yourself for the glory of god all of my siblings were successful in their business all of them experienced leadership capabilities everywhere they were employed and while all my siblings were making big money in big big factories and companies my wife and i was dragging four children around in a 1953 greyhound making six thousand dollars a year living in a bus for 25 years of my life and my siblings all of them hard workers dedicated made big money became supervisors leaders and i'm proud of every one of them but i knew every night when i laid my head down in the back of that old bus that i was doing what god had called me to do and that was worth more money more to me than money could have ever given me to know that i was being myself you be yourself for the glory of god don't ever be ashamed of what god and how god made you if god made you a woman he knew exactly what he was doing he wants you to be a lady if god made you a man he wants you to be a man don't get wrapped up in this transgender and cross-sexual and neutral sexual nonsense stay away from that bunch of nonsense god made you the way you are you're created in the likeness of god you're special to god there's nobody in the world just like you god made you indigenous you're one of a kind you're that special to god and because of that be loyal to your person you may not be a gymnastic you may not be a football player you might not be a good singer but you can be a good christian and you can let christ be reflected in your life and that's worth more than anything the world it's more that's worth more than any eight dollar trophy you're going to get from a public school system that don't even want to do the pledge of allegiance anymore you might as well say man because you know i'm telling it right let's give the lord a hand i love you days lord elijah declaring the word of the lord and these are the days of your servant moses righteousness [Music] prepare ye the way
