They Mock God but THIS Happens!

Let's talk about five stories that have gone viral recently and comment on them from a

Christian perspective. You're not going to want to miss the last one. At number five, we have the tragedy of the

Titan submarine, which you have likely heard about already. Some people, such as Titanic director

James Cameron, knew exactly what had happened long before the public found out.

It's just tragic and it's horrific and it's unnecessary. You know, there are acoustic networks around.

Some are research, some are intelligence. We got confirmation within an hour that there had been a loud bang at the same time that the sub was, that comms were lost.

A loud bang on the hydrophones. Loss of transducer or transponder.

Loss of comms. I knew what happened. Sub imploded. I sent emails to everybody

I know. I said, we've lost some friends. The sub is imploded. It's on the bottom in pieces right now.

I sent that out Monday morning. Not unexpectedly, some have responded to this tragedy with utter depravity, simply because they love when rich people suffer.

That's what people are saying. I'm going to say what those rich folks would say if it was one of us. Thoughts and prayers. Okay, well, in a situation that is as helpless and dire as this, literally the only thing that you can do is give thoughts and prayers.

That is not a bad thing. Somebody else said going to have to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. Another person said, no, not a billionaire.

I hope he's okay. Another person said, oh, a billionaire sorrows, sorrows, prayers. Another person said, maybe we can get

Bezos and Musk on the next one. And literally one person in that comment section had something nice to say about this and said,

I know that people have a lot of different opinions on billionaires, but come on. This guy has a wife, family, and people who love him do not wish harm.

It should not be that hard to do. That is the bare minimum. That is asinine that the first thing people think of when they hear the story and hear about the passengers is that, oh good, it's a billionaire.

Another piece of random news related to this tragedy is that popular YouTuber MrBeast shared that he was actually invited to go on the

Titan submarine. And it is shocking to consider what would have happened had he accepted the offer. YouTuber MrBeast recently shared a screenshot of a text on Twitter, which was allegedly invited to join the

Titan on a journey late this month, which would have possibly been around the time of this fated expedition.

There's a tweet that says here from MrBeast. Again, when we get into more about the

CEO, it will all make sense. So I'm going on to the Titanic in a submarine late this month.

The team would be stoked to have you along. I'm sure you're also welcome to join.

I don't know what's going on there. Maybe they said a later date. MrBeast was invited earlier this month to ride the

Titanic submarine. I said no. Kind of scary that I could have been on it. That's a lesson on death, isn't it? You are headed for judgment.

You're going to meet the judge. You better settle before you get there. What's going on in your life may seem like blessing because things are okay.

Others have died, but not you. That doesn't mean anything. It's not when you die or how you die.

It's whether you repent. At number four, we have some ridiculous controversy surrounding a harmless kid show called

Bluey. There's not just one, but two unbelievable things that people are saying about this show.

First, some are saying that the show is not diverse enough. Back in 2021, there's a journalist named

Beverly Wang, wrote an article for ABC, which is the Australian broadcasting company in this case.

And she applauded the show for being, as she says, tender, nuanced and joyful. And yet at the same time, she criticized it for its lack of representation.

In an article that I'm 99 % sure isn't supposed to be satire, Wang wrote, quote, as a parent of color,

I'm always conscious of the presence or absence of diverse representation in kids' pop culture, what it means for children, the conversations we have around that.

I sincerely believe you don't have to be other to think about this too. We live in a world where the majority of main characters on children's television are white, where there are more animals than people of color protagonists populating the pages of children's books.

Where are the disabled, queer, poor, gender diverse dogs of color and single parent dog families in Bluey's Brisbane?

If they're in the background, well, let them come forward. Keep in mind that these are dogs we are talking about, not people.

There is simply no need to inject social and cultural agendas into a kid show like Bluey.

And second, this Bluey show has been attacked for basically promoting exercise. Yes, that's right.

Take a look. We recently screwed up in a pretty big way, and it's made a lot of people angry.

But basically, there's a brand new episode called Exercise, where at the start, Bandit, Bluey's dad, grabs his belly.

I'll show you a picture here and kind of just looks at it and like goes to the scale, weighs himself and goes, oh,

I need to do exercise. That in and of itself is a really problematic narrative to have on a children's television show.

When we know that most girls, by the time they're nine, think about dieting, think they're overweight and really have a problem with body image already.

There's a couple of ways to solve this problem. The first one is that we just not let the kids watch the episode, but that's not really going to work because kids are going to see this messaging in many places throughout their lives.

So it's actually better to use this episode of a relatively safe children's television show to start the discussion about body image, about how we treat our body, about not body positivity or body negativity, but body neutrality.

Because the truth is, it doesn't matter what your body looks like. It matters how it feels. And that's the most important thing that we need to teach our children.

She says, it doesn't matter what your body looks like. It matters how it feels. But as people made in the image of God, we do have a responsibility to take care of our bodies and what our body looks like is certainly related to how well we are taking care of our body.

We are the temple of the living God. We are the temple of the living

God. What an amazing statement. Temple of the living God.

What does the temple of the living God have to do with idols? At number three, we have this college graduate who went viral because of her unbelievable behavior at her graduation ceremony.

It seems pretty clear that her behavior is extremely unacceptable and stems from a feeling of utter entitlement.

Because the video went viral, this woman tried to explain her actions. Take a look and see if you're convinced.

It's my story time. Basically, what happened was I was walking on and we had to announce our names and say our name before we get on the stage.

So I was saying my name and she literally, my name is long.

My name, obviously, I have like three syllables in my name. I'm not going to say exactly my name right now, but okay.

Just so you get a point. So I didn't even finish getting to say my name. And then the people that went before me and everything, they all got to say their name, their major, and even extras.

And me and another girl noticed that she was putting the mic, she was putting the mic down super fast for some black people.

I don't want to be that person, but that was the team. So, I mean,

I just couldn't let her, I just couldn't let that happen because I just feel like I worked so hard to graduate and went through so much to graduate that I just felt like I had to reclaim my moment.

I'm sorry. I'm not a problematic person. I don't want to ruin no one's day. I don't want to violate anybody.

But that's what she did. She didn't even let me finish speaking. She put the mic down, cut me off. And that was the only time

I was able to speak. So I just feel like that wasn't right. However, listen to this account from someone else who participated in the same graduation ceremony, which contradicts the woman's supposed explanation.

I was in the graduation. I graduated with my graduation. Basically, there was two sections, section

A and section B. And within those two sections, there was two long lines.

And we were told to say our names when we approached the lady in the video to say our names and the like.

But she didn't know any of our names to know whether or not it was long, short, how many syllables,

X, Y, Z. She didn't know to hold it a certain way, how long, none of that.

So we were just being told to say our first and last name. I also have said things extra than my first and last name.

I said, I love my mama. And some girl before me who was also a chocolate girl said, big up Jamaica.

So I don't see where this, because we're black and all these other things that's coming into play.

I also believe that she did that because it was a little white old lady. It wasn't anybody else.

I don't believe she would have done that. She would've took her walk. That was the case of that really happened. Also, the mic was never handed to us for it to get snatched.

The lady was going back and forth to each line, because there was two lines with a person and going back and forth, going to each person like this to say their names.

So it wasn't no pause for somebody to hold a mic to say their name.

Clearly, there is an epidemic in our country of people who believe everything is about race and who believe they are entitled to certain things simply because of the color of their skin.

If I were to title this section and the lesson, I might call it The Virtue of Being Last. The Virtue of Being Last, that title would seem offensive to the culture in which you and I live because everybody wants to be first.

Number one, that's the whole idea. Humility is not viewed as a virtue in our culture and it wasn't viewed as a virtue in ancient pagan culture either.

And it's not just a cultural issue. Humility is foreign to fallen DNA. Humility is alien to the human heart.

The human heart, every human heart, every fallen human heart is a relentless worshiper of itself. At number two, we have the controversy concerning NBA player

John Morant being suspended for recklessly waving around a firearm in videos that were uploaded on the internet and how former

NBA player Charles Barkley shocked many with what he said in response. Here's what Barkley had to say.

We got some idiots, some fools on television. They really just pissed me off saying he didn't break any laws.

He didn't do anything wrong. You can't do stupid stuff. That's the trade off. You're just an unlucky dude.

No, no, no, man. You got to look into me and say, you know what? Maybe I'm the problem. I'm a gun guy, but I don't understand why you're flashing it.

I'm just sad, Ernie, because it's a bad look. I'm glad that Barkley had the courage to say what he did.

There's a big difference between using firearms responsibly and waving them around irresponsibly.

And when a person represents an organization such as the NBA, that person should understand that there are responsibilities that accompany such a position.

Here's a sports commentator with a horrible take on the situation and conservative commentator

Brandon Tatum's response to him. So I get why we're so sensitive to this right now, but there's no consequence for Greg Abbott telling his constituents that they should go buy more guns.

And then we have mass shooting after mass shooting in Texas. Yeah, I would love to confront him face to face about what he said.

Greg, what a Greg Abbott got to do with John Moran waving a gun like an idiot or having a gun in a strip club.

John Moran waving a gun like he a thug and a gangbanger. Let me tell you this. Gun violence in the inner city pertaining to character traits like John Moran is more pervasive than acting in school shootings.

If there is anything that burdens me, it is this idea in our culture and the modern

American Christianity, we will not tolerate biblical, theological and spiritual maturity in me.

Let me say that again. In modern American Christianity, we will not tolerate biblical, spiritual, theological maturity in men.

We just can't have it. Nothing above mediocrity. At number one, we have a soccer match between women from the

United States professional soccer team and a team of older men from Rexham. Here's what

Heather O 'Reilly, a member of the U .S. professional women's soccer team, said before the match.

Ready? This message is for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhinney. One, you should be here right now with your squad.

Two, your team about to go down in North Carolina. Hey, you have it.

Here's what actually happened during this match. So basically, the professional

U .S. women's team got completely demolished by some older men from a soccer club.

And this is what Heather O 'Reilly said after this match. I love that you guys are here, that you're playing, that this is all women.

Maybe not the scoreline you were wanting to see, but what's your perspective on what's happening right now?

Listen, we're super proud. Like, we're so happy to be here at this event. Hopefully, we've proven to anybody like, just go for it.

Just live, right? Like, what's the worst thing that can happen? We lose 16 -0 to Rexham. We don't care because we're living, we're being bold, we're being brave, and we're having a lot of fun.

Of course, it's good that Heather has a positive attitude. At the same time, the complete one -sidedness of this match demonstrates an enormous difference between men and women in athletic ability.

Similarly, in 2017, the official United States professional women's soccer team lost a match against a team of 15 -year -old boys.

Finally, listen to this incredible exchange about how Serena Williams compares to men in tennis and pay attention to the answer given by Riley Gaines.

Well, I can say that, you know, there's been this news article about men that think that they could beat Serena Williams in tennis, right?

That they think that they could actually score a point on her, and it's just not the case. She is stronger than them.

What's your experience, Ben? Male, female? Both Serena and Venus lost to the 203rd ranked male tennis player, which they're phenoms for women.

My experience, my husband, he swam at University of Kentucky as well. In terms of accolades and in terms of national ranking,

I was a much better swimmer than him. He could kick my butt any day of the week without trying.

The Olympics this year, the Olympics, again, I can remember having conversations with people during the last

Olympics about the danger of the transgender movement and how we were losing our minds and how women's sports were going to eventually disappear because you would have biological males identifying as females competing in women's sports.

It's not going to happen the other way around. And all of a sudden, women will disappear. And at the

Olympics four years ago, guess what, five years ago, the Olympics five years ago now, people were saying, that's ridiculous.

You and I both know that would never happen. You're just being an alarmist. And a number of transgender athletes competed at the

Olympics this year. How long before, you know, some unscrupulous country like,

I don't know, North Korea says, you know what, at the 2024 games, we might not win any medals on the men's side, but we could take a bunch of them on the women's side.

You're a woman. You're a woman. You're a woman. You're a woman. Let's go. Ideas have consequences.

And we're beginning to see those consequences. Thank you so much for watching.
