Dynamic Daniel — Greg Locke

Well, I tell you, I've enjoyed myself yesterday evening and then last night, later, the opportunity to give my testimony, and then this morning, you've been very responsive, you've listened well, and you've set up straight, and you've paid attention to the Bible, and I appreciate that so, so very much.

You don't know what it's like, if you're not a preacher, to preach to people that are obviously not interested in what you had to say. You're back here taking pictures, trying to make me laugh, amen? But you don't know what it's like to preach to people, and they kind of look at you, and it looks like you're kind of preaching to a bunch of knock-on logs, but you've listened well, and you smile when you're supposed to smile, frown when you're supposed to frown, and this, that, and the other.

So, I appreciate your good spirit's been kind to me, and I do hope that you'd pray, and I know some of you have a long trip, a few hours ahead of you, going to different places, Minnesota, all over Wisconsin.

I'll go to Rockford, as I said, and then early in the morning, I'll catch a flight out of Midway, and then I'll be starting a revival meeting tomorrow morning. I'll just be getting in in time, just to get to the church on time, and I'll meet up with the Robertson family, who many of you know from here at the camp, to have our music for the week.

And so, you pray that everything will work well, pray I don't get delayed, and all that kind of stuff, because if I do, I guess my wife has to preach a revival meeting. Amen? She knows most of my sermons anyhow.

Daniel's Resolve in Babylon

Daniel chapter number 1 and verse number 8. Let's all stand, please, out of respect for God's Word. Just one verse of Scripture by way of a text, although we will use other Scriptures in the duration of our message.

I'll read it two times, because I want to make sure it sinks not into your head this afternoon, but into your heart, alright? Daniel chapter 1 and verse number 8. The Bible says,. But Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank.

Therefore, he requested of the prince of the eunuchs he might not defile himself. Look at it one more time. But Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank.

Therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. I wanna preach to you this afternoon a message entitled Dynamic Daniel. Thank you very much. You may be seated and let's bow our heads and hearts once again, and let's ask the Lord to bless our time together during this last session here at our Truth Conference.

Father, truly You've been so good to us. We've seen people saved and get right with God. We've seen some wonderful victories this weekend. What a blessing it's been to be able to share my heart and my burden with these young people.

They've listened well. I pray You'd bless them for that. But now, Lord, we also realize that the other service victories are not going to fight the battles that we're going to face in this service. And so, Lord, we need You to work afresh and anew in this service.

I pray that You'd open the hearts and minds of those that are before me. And, dear God, just very humbly help them and help me now, I pray. In Jesus' name, amen. Young people, if you know anything about the book of Daniel, we meet up with a young man that most Bible scholars and historians tell us was anywhere from the age of 15 to 17.

And so, for time's sake and argument's sake, he's going to be 16 in my message. So here's this 16-year-old teenager. He is not at a fundamental camp in a Truth Conference, so he is impacted with the truths of the Word of God.

He does not have a youth pastor breathing down his neck, making him do right. He does not have a mom and dad at this time that are telling him, okay, little Daniel boy, I want you to read your Bible, I want you to have your devotions and do good in your Christian school.

He has no Christian school. He has no good sermon tapes to listen to of good fundamental Bible preaching around America, around the world. He has none of that. He has none of the modern-day opportunities that many of you have, but yet he still shines like, I mean, like a great... stands like a great rock of Gibraltar and shines like a great light right here in the midst of a wicked, perverse nation.

Now, I want you to know that the city of Babylon, or the nation of Babylon, was not a nice place to live. Here, the children of Israel had been separated from family and friends and from their priests, and they had been taken away from the worship of their God.

They had not their temples, they had not their Bibles, and they had been taken miles and hundreds of miles away into a wicked land of people that were immoral, people that served these other gods of Baal.

As a matter of fact, Nebuchadnezzar at this time, when he first went there, was the king of Babylon. The Bible says that he had a wild, crazy, spooky dream, and the dream scared him so much, and he liked himself so much that he erected a 90-foot golden statue that looked just like himself.

Now, I've met some young ladies that were vain enough to spend two or three hours in front of the mirror, but I've never met anybody that liked themselves so much that they erected a 90-foot golden statue of themselves.

And every person that was ever a king of Babylon, you study history, they all fell because of pride. Nebuchadnezzar fell because of pride. Darius fell because of pride. Why? Because this was such a great nation, if you will.

I mean, although it was wicked, man, they had the greatest military powers. They had the greatest buildings, the greatest temples, the greatest chariots. They had everything. They were an indestructible fortress.

And that's where Daniel is. Now, later in the book, we're not going to preach on him, but later in the book, we also have three more friends of Daniel that stood for God. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

Moshach, Yershach, and Abednego. Whatever you call them, they live for God. And the Bible says that here was a young man in the midst of apostasy, in the midst of sin and wickedness and depravity and degradation.

In the midst of all of this, he still stands and he is still dynamic and has an explosive testimony for Jesus Christ. Now, as I travel in evangelism, I meet two groups of young people. There are two and only two.

Number one, there are those that I meet who, like Daniel, are dynamic. And then there's those that I meet all too often, just about 95 of the young people I meet, who I call not dynamic, but duds. And we've got too many duds in America.

We've got too many duds in our Christian colleges. We've got too many duds in our Christian schools and public schools. We've got too many duds in our youth groups. And you can either be dynamic for God or you can be a dud for God.

Now, the average young person is the average Joe Blow, run of the mill, fly by the seat of the britches, just go with the grain, never swim upstream like the trout do, never go against the grain, never go against their friend, just follow everybody and just go with the flow through life.

And that's the basic average lifestyle of the average young man and the average young lady. That is not how Daniel was. Daniel went against the grain. He didn't do it so people could look at him and think that he was some great Christian.

He did it because he wanted to please God. Now, if in fact Daniel was dynamic, how did he attain such a status? How did he please God in his life? Well, the same way you and I can. Once you look at verse number 8, I'm going to show you three things here and then one thing in Daniel chapter 6 in just a moment and we'll be through, alright?

Purposeful Dedication to God

Daniel 1 .8, the Bible says, But Daniel purposed in his heart. If you're taking notes or at least middle notes right now, number one, Daniel was purposed. Now, you know as a young person, it does not say he was purposed in his head.

This was not mere determination to serve God. It said he was purposed in his heart. This was more than determination. This was devotion and dedication. He was 100 sold out, lock, stock and barrel. Jesus Christ, Almighty God, had his life and he was purposed.

He knew what he wanted in life. He didn't go with the flow. He didn't go with all the friends. He didn't go with the crowd. He didn't have to have the latest fads. He wanted to please God more than anything else.

He wanted to be a 1 Corinthians 10 31 Christian. Whether therefore ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. He had his head screwed on straight, for lack of better terminology.

He wasn't interested in just fitting in and going with everybody else. He wanted more than anything else to be so purposed, to be so dedicated and so determined to serve God that he denied himself certain pleasures and certain things in life.

He took his responsibilities within the will of God seriously and he was a purposed young man. I suppose it's been about seven years ago, I attended a graduation service for a Christian high school at the University of Texas A &M outside of Houston, Texas, a little town called Springfield, something like that.

I was attending there and there were hundreds of graduating seniors. Now, if you know anything about a graduation, one of two things is true. Either number one, if it is not yours, or number two, somebody that you know very well or are closely related to, those things can be boring as the day is long.

And so I am sitting here. There's a couple of hundred, I mean several hundred graduates. They're going to be walking this platform and they have this guy, he gives his little sermon and you know, and then they have these people get up and they pray and they have this little choir sing.

And this guy came up, you know, they called him the Magna Cum Laude and then they had the Sum Cum Laude. I just graduated, thank you the Lord, amen. And so they got up and they had all this spiel and they had this, that and the other.

Took you a minute to catch that, but I figured you'd catch up with me, alright. And so they had these people get up and they gave out their awards and they had these little ceremony times. And finally it was time to give out their certificates, their diplomas of graduation.

Well, they took these young people, they stood them up in lines and in rows of twelve. They would have twelve come to the platform. They would call them name by name. As the twelfth one was going to cross, twelve more would stand up and so on and so forth, twelve and twelve and twelve.

This thing was going to last several hours with everything that they had on the program. I'm reading through the program, I see this name and I'm thinking, man, they've got a long ways to go, you know.

I was watching my cousin, Amy Davenport, graduate. So she gets to graduate and I think to myself, okay, she's D's, now we got all these other letters to go. And I mean, with all these kids, certainly somebody's going to have a name all the way to Z.

And so I'm sitting there, I'm ready to get a hamburger, I'm ready to leave, you know, I'm ready to take a nap. But out of respect, we had to stay and watch everybody else. Twelve went, twelve went, twelve went.

Same old rut and routine, I was born, I was ready to go to sleep, I was ready to get out of there. And all of a sudden, something caught my attention. There was a young man who was the eleventh in line in one of those little lines that they were putting him up in twelfth.

And the reason I knew he was the eleventh is because he was in a wheelchair and the twelfth young man was the one who was designated to push him across the platform. And so they get up there and they called this young man's name in a wheelchair and they called the young man's name behind him who was pushing the wheelchair, called them both at the same time so this guy in the wheelchair wouldn't be, you know, he wouldn't be upset, wouldn't be put on the spot.

And so they pushed him across. They were both going to receive their diploma at the same time. Now, it's very obvious. It is very obvious that the young man that was pushing him had no idea that he was fixing to do this.

This guy called both their names. He starts wildly gagging, just real happy-go-lucky, you know, we're graduating, whoopee-dee, you know, we're walking across the platform. And this guy reaches down, he had cerebral palsy and they talked about it.

He reaches down with his hands and he puts the brakes on his wheelchair in front of all these people. I mean thousands of people in the stands here at this basketball stadium. I mean thousands everywhere.

And this guy reaches down. All of a sudden, man, I perk up real good. I think, man, this might be pretty good. I'm going to see a fight right here on the platform. You know, this guy reaches down. He puts the brakes on his wheelchair.

And you see these two guys dialoguing, talking back and forth. Now, obviously, you know, I was in the cheat seats. No bleed section way up there, you know, real high and so way up in the rafters. And so I couldn't hear what was going on but you could hear the whispers carrying around through the great dome.

You could see this guy, he's doing this and all over and his hands were moving this way and this way. This guy's sitting in a chair. He's not even looking at him. He's shaking his head like this. And finally, the guy behind him throws up his hands, leaves that guy sitting there in his wheelchair and walks across the platform, gets his diploma and goes down to the other side.

And I'm thinking to myself, this is going to be good. He leaves the guy sitting over in his wheelchair. I'm thinking, what's this guy going to do? And all of a sudden, he put his hands on the side of that wheelchair and he lifted his twisted, contorted, and most emaciated body up out of that seat.

Now, I thought he was going to fall over. He reached around this big old blue curtain. They had these great big huge blue velvet curtains all the way to the ceiling, great little thing, 25, 30 feet high.

He reached around and he pulled out a set of crutches. Now, it wasn't these little wooden crutches, you know, that you want sympathy of when you break your leg or something like that and you run about the scene and you hop around like an idiot.

I'm not talking about crutches like that. I'm talking about the little steel ones, little metal ones, you hook them to your arms and they stabilize you as you walk. And he put those things on and he started to walk and he'd go this way and he'd trip a little bit and he'd go this way.

And I guarantee you, I know the platform was probably, it was a little wider than this room, this auditorium that we're in here at Rokey Lodge. It was a rather large auditorium, or rather large platform, rather.

And, you know, if I was to stand at that wall and go to this wall, it'd only take me a few seconds. Man, some of you guys could run that real fast. Some of you young ladies could walk that real fast. It doesn't take us long at all.

And sometimes we take our health for granted. I bet you it took this young man eight minutes to get across point A to point B. I mean, he'd walk this way and he'd stumble back and he'd catch himself and walk this way and stumble back and catch himself.

He'd walk and you'd see him stop and he'd catch his balance. He'd do his arms like this, you know, you could tell he was in a lot of pain and his body was all contorted. I mean, he couldn't walk a bit.

And here he was on these crutches and he was walking this way. He got across there and they gave him his diploma. They shook his hand, they hugged his neck. He walked on the other side, walked all the way down the exit ramp, that little ramp for handicapped people, all by himself.

And by this time, the young man that left him sitting there earlier, who I thought just went back to his seat, he went around the back of the platform, grabbed his wheelchair and had met him at the other side.

And so here this young man gets out of his seat, puts on the crutches, walks all the way to his place to get his diploma. He gets it, has his hands shook, hugs his neck, everybody claps for just a few moments.

And he walks to the other end of the platform, walks all the way down the ramp by himself. He hands his crutches to the other guy, stumbling the whole way. He sits down in the wheelchair and the other guy starts to push him back to his seat.

The moment, the moment that young man hit that wheelchair, I mean, when he sat down, that place erupted like an active volcano. I mean, them people stood up and started shouting and hollering and yelling.

I mean, their hands were just clapping. I mean, I was crying and people around me was crying and the tears were flowing and snot was flying all over the place and everybody was clapping this way. And we stood up.

I bet you we clapped for five minutes. I guarantee you the gospel truth. We clapped and clapped and clapped until I thought my fingers would fall off. And we kept on clapping. And I mean, people were blowing kazoos and hollering and yelling.

Them seniors were going hog wild down there. I mean, they were throwing their hats up in the air. I mean, this place erupted and went nuts. And I thought to myself, there is a young man that has purpose.

You know what? I'm not preaching to a room full of boys and girls or teenagers that have cerebral palsy. But it's going to take that same kind of determination, that same kind of devotion, and that same kind of purpose if you are going to live for God in the day and age in which we live.

You know what? If you don't make a conscious effort to live for God, you will not live for God. If you don't make a conscious effort to read your Bible, you won't read your Bible. If you don't make a conscious effort to pray, you won't pray.

If you don't make a conscious effort to witness to your friends, you won't witness to your friends. Because that stuff just doesn't come natural. That's why the Bible says in Titus 2 that when we have the grace of God applied to our life, it says it teaches us to deny ungodliness.

You have to be taught things that you don't previously know. And if you don't make a conscious effort, I'm going to mess up my mind, I'm going to live for God, I'm going to do what's right, no wonder you don't do what's right.

No wonder you don't live for God. No wonder you're cast along by the wayside and you live a life that is inches of burnt out volcanoes, you wake up every day, no peace, no joy, no assurance, because you're not purposed.

You know what our problem is? We have a problem, and I know it's just kind of word ology, if you will. It's just kind of semantics. I've been guilty to the next person. I know a lot of youth pastors are guilty of it, and I've heard a lot of evangelists use it.

We've got a terminology that is plaguing modern-day Christians. You know what it is? We get in the pulpit and we say, we need rededication. We need young people to rededicate, rededicate, rededicate.

We freaks don't rededicate, and we don't even know what rededicate means. We do not need rededication. We need total dedication. We need some young people that would just totally dedicate themselves to Almighty God and quit running off to the world and quit running off to what they want, and they're just going to get purposed, get their heads screwed on straight, and say, I don't care what my friends are going to say, and if you've got the right kind of friends, by the way, they'll rejoice in your decision for Christ, and they don't have to keep coming to the altar and getting right with God.

Keep coming to the altar and getting right with God. No, they get right with God. They stay on fire, and although they fall back a little bit, and although sometimes they get to the place where they're still cold and lethargic, they remember that great divine commitment decision that they made for God, and they go through life with purpose.

God uses people that are purposed. People that have their heads screwed on straight, people that want to please God, people that want to glorify God, and that's the way Daniel was. He said, I don't care what my surroundings are like.

It makes no difference what my family life is like. I have no pastor. I have no youth pastor. I have no good church to go to. I have no good tapes to listen to. I have no Bible to read, but yet he still stood strong.

Why? Because he knew he wanted to please God. He had some purpose, some determination, but more than that, he had some devotion. Now go back in your Bible to verse number 8, would you? Not only was Daniel purposed, but there's something else very interesting here that sometimes we overlook if we're not careful.

Daniel's Polite Resistance to Authority

It says, "...but Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with a portion of the king's meat nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs," who, by the way, in a moment will learn his name's Melzar, "...requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.".

Now get it and get it good. Number one, Daniel was purposed. Number two, Daniel was polite. Say, brother, how do you get that? I'll remind you what the Bible says. It says when he came to the prince of the eunuchs, a man by the name of Melzar, it says, "...therefore Daniel requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.".

Now had he been the average joe-blown teenager of today, man, he'd have come walking in them palace doors. He'd have kicked them jokers open with his Nike tennis shoes and come walking in there and said, I'm going to tell you something right now, bless God.

You don't know who my daddy is. You don't know what my mama's done. And I don't give a good glory flip what you say. I'm not going to drink your wine. I'm not going to eat your stinkin' meat. And if you don't like it, I could give a good glory flip.

And you know what? That would chop his head off. He didn't come in there rolling his eyes and crossing his arms and begging and pleading and hollering and yelling and saying, it's going to be my way or the highway, my way or no way.

They would have killed him and they would not have honored him and God would not have uplifted him had he been that way. The Bible says, "...he requested of the prince of the eunuchs.". He came in there, spoke the truth in love.

I believe you can stand strong, but still be compassionate, still be kind, and still be nice. And Daniel came in, realizing these people weren't in authority over him, although they were wrong. He came in, and the Bible says, "...instead of kicking and screaming and being a hot-headed, rebellious, teenage young man, he came in simply requested, and God honored him because he had a good attitude, and God honored him because he was polite.".

I'm going to tell you something that grieves my spirit. And if it grieves my spirit, I know it grieves the Spirit of Almighty God. I know it must grieve the Holy Spirit of God. It must break His heart as we preached on this morning.

I'm going to tell you, it bothers me that in modern-day Christianity, among so-called Christian young people, they do not know how to treat authority. They do not know how to talk to their moms and dads.

And there used to be a day when they'd say, Yes, ma 'am. And no, ma 'am. Yes, sir. And no, sir. But now when your parents talk to you, it's yeah, and he, and hall, and all. It's kind of like a bunch of retards that fell off the wall two or three years ago.

And we don't know how to talk to mom anymore. And we don't know how to respect daddy anymore. And we don't respect the preachers. And we don't respect our teachers. And we don't respect people that are in authority.

And you hear me, and hear me well. If you're not a young person that is polite, and that has some manners, and is respectful, don't you ever expect Almighty God to use you. You remember Jonah? Jonah got a bad attitude.

He got all upset. The Bible says he was exceeding mad. The next day, the Bible says that God sent him a gourd. He went from being exceeding mad to exceeding glad. Then God used him again. You see, God could not use Jonah in that position when he was mad and upset and had a bad attitude.

Just a little later in the Bible, we'll see that Daniel had an excellent spirit. The word spirit is basically the word attitude. In your King James Bible, there is no word attitude. It's always translated the word spirit.

And here was a young man that was polite. Here was a young man that had his head screwed on straight. He respected authority. He was a godly young man. And we have the idea that you've got to be a sissy if you're going to respect mom and dad.

We have the idea that you've got to be a rip, and you've got to be some kind of little cantankerous sissy if you do what mom and dad says. Well, you can have any terminology, you can have any idealistic view of anybody you want to in your mind, but the truth of the matter is you are commanded to obey your mom and dad.

You are commanded to obey those that are in authority over you. I quoted last night Ephesians 6, 1 and 2. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment was promised, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long upon the earth.

And everybody says, and all these evangelists say, well, you know, the reason you obey mom and dad is so you'll live long upon the earth. No, that's just a by-product. The Bible doesn't say you're going to obey mom and dad so the result is you'll live long upon the earth.

It says the reason you obey your parents is because it's in the Lord and because it is right. And young person, it's real simple. If you obey mom and dad, you are right. If you don't, you are wrong, and there's no other way about it.

And when you get mad and pop up at the mouth and muddle under your breath and roll your eyes and close your arms and say, I'll live any way I want to. I can't wait till I'm 18. I can't wait till I get out of here.

What you are doing is digging your own grave. And I want to remind you, Almighty God uses some very explicit language when He talks about teenagers and their parents. You read sometimes the book of Proverbs, and the Bible says, a young man or a young lady that is continually defiant to Almighty God, the Bible says that the young ravens will pick their eyes out.

Did you know in the Old Testament if a young man or a young lady popped off to mom and dad, they didn't get a smack in the mouth. They were stoned to death. That's how respected in that day moms and dads were.

And I'm going to tell you what, a lot of you would be dead at four o 'clock in the morning if we still had that law. A lot of you wouldn't even be at this truth conference. A lot of you wouldn't even be here.

I mean, probably just yesterday before you even left, you popped off and got all mad. Mom and dad said do this, and you decided to do that. And I'm going to tell you, one day it will be too late. There'll be no more I love you's.

There'll be no more I'm sorry's. And as I said last night, I learned how much I loved and needed my mother when she dropped me off at a children's home and I didn't have her anymore. And God used this young man because he was purpose.

And God used this young man because he was polite. He simply requested. He knew what he wanted, but he didn't go about it as the average teenager would. He wasn't rebellious and hot-headed and mean and cantankerous and stamping and spitting like a wild horse.

He didn't do that. He had some basic old-fashioned manners about him. And you can call it old-fashioned if you want to, but I think I'll stay with the old-time way. Jeremiah said in Jeremiah chapter 6 in verse number 16, ask for the old paths wherein is the good way.

Now, this makes sense to me logically. If God says ask for the old paths, then there must be some new paths somewhere. And too many teenagers are taking the new path when God Almighty says you better take the old path.

And he says, listen, the reason he was dynamic is because he was purpose. He knew what he wanted in life. He was determined and devoted to serve God. And he was polite. But I want to show you something else in your Bible, can I?

Look back at verse number 8 again. It says, but Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat nor with the wine which he drank. Number one, he was purposed.

Number two, he was polite. Number three, Daniel was pure. Daniel was a young man that had one major objective in his life and that was to keep himself pure. Somebody says, okay, Brother Greg, the reason Daniel made such a stink over this issue, the reason he wouldn't drink the wine, the reason he wouldn't eat the meat, is so everybody could look at him and say, hey, glory to Bob, look how wonderful Daniel is.

Good giggly wiggly. Isn't he the most wonderful Christian you've ever seen? Man, he reads his Bible. All he does is pray. And Daniel walked around with his hand on his lapel all the time, had a Bible tucked to his arm, great big old family size King James Bible.

And he walked around, look at me, Billy Bible, I'm the most spiritual person in all the kingdom. Well, that's not why he did that. He didn't do it so people could see him. The Bible tells us the reason he rejected the wine.

The Bible specifically and very plainly, very bluntly tells us the reason he rejected the meat. It says he did not want to defile himself. You see, he knew in Exodus 20, God said, thou shalt have no other gods before me.

And thou shalt not make it to be any graven images, says Almighty God. And he knew that meat had been offered unto idols. He knew that meat had been served and offered up to other gods. He knew that wine, Proverbs 20, verse 1, wine is an offer.

Strong drink is raising. That went against his Christian convictions. It went against his convictions to do those things. And he said, listen, I can't do that. He said, I don't want to defile myself. Daniel was a young man that wanted to keep every avenue, every alleyway, and every part and parcel of his life pure.

And that ought to be one of your main objectives as a young lady and as a young man. You ought to want to keep yourself pure. You ought to want to keep your fault life pure. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10, verse 5, casting down.

The word casting down literally means to throw away or to lock in a box. Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing to captivity every fault to the obedience of Christ.

You young men better be careful. You can look just as spiritual as you want to on the outside, but if you lay in bed at night and you think about wicked, foul, torturing thoughts and you think about things that are undying, or young lady, you think about the opposite section in a way that you should not, you better be real careful because the more you think, the more you think, the flesh will begin to justify it and the flesh will begin to give you opportunities in ways, you know.

It's not wrong to be tempted. But I'm going to tell you something. When you get tempted, the devil's going to make sure Mr. Opportunity comes around the door. And if temptation and opportunity ever meet, friend, you are in big, bad trouble.

You better be careful what you think about because one day your thoughts will become actions. But you should want to keep your eyes pure. David said in Psalm 101, verse number 3, I will set no, not a, not one, I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.

I hate the work of them that turn aside, it shall not cleave unto me. You ought to be careful what you're looking at. You ought to be careful the videos that you watch and the videos that you rent and the things that you watch up on the television.

And if you feel your heart and mind with MTV and all that Hollywood and all that smut and mess and David Lettermouth and Orpah Windbag and all them soap operas and the rest of that junk, no wonder we're not pure.

No wonder we're living in a day and age when people have no regard for God and no regard for the Bible and sexual promiscuity is running everywhere because of what people are watching. Be careful. Hey, don't you tell me what you watch and what you listen to doesn't affect you.

If you believe that, why don't you talk to the parents of Cassie Burnell? That young lady that had her head blown off because fellas had watched that wicked Val Keanu Reeves movie by the name of The Matrix.
