- Jesus says, why, why do you call me Lord, Lord? And you don't do what
- 00:06
- I say. It's the challenge of Jesus to his people, they're fine, why do you call me
- 00:13
- Lord? So many people confess Jesus as Lord, so many churches tomorrow that will rise up around here with thousands of members that don't do anything about the
- 00:23
- Holocaust happening down the street from their church. Piles and piles of dead bodies, and everyone says peace, peace.
- 00:32
- There is no peace, there's dead bodies, and we pretend, we lie, we say go be warm, be filled, little baby.
- 00:41
- How, what do you mean by that, American Christian? What did you mean by be warm, be filled when you said to these dead babies?
- 00:48
- What do you mean? What do you do about the abortion facility that's killing 50 babies on Saturday that's 15 minutes from your house?
- 00:58
- Well, be warm and be filled. I hope those babies get taken care of. Well, what'd you do about it, what'd you say?
- 01:04
- How'd you stand against it? How did you do what Jesus commanded you, which is to love your neighbor as you love yourself?
- 01:10
- And we say things like, well, my pastor preached his sermon this year on a pro -life
- 01:16
- Sunday. It was the day that he preaches once a year about abortion. And you know, I gave five bucks
- 01:22
- I think once to one of those pro -life organizations. I gave some money one time to one of those.
- 01:29
- How are we doing? Answer, not so well. Thousands of babies still die all around us today.
- 01:37
- And so you know what's amazing? I know this is a hard thing, is that even, let's admit it,
- 01:43
- John, Rusty, Zach, everyone in this room, I know it's been this forever, admit it, we get jaded to these truths as well.
- 01:56
- I don't think that I'm sensitive enough to the fact that babies are really dying. And I forget,
- 02:02
- I do. And there's times where I could go and I should go and I don't because I am a fraud.
- 02:17
- And I think we just need to confess it. Even we don't treat this like it should be treated. It's just the truth, it is the truth.
- 02:26
- We are inconsistent and we need to repent of that. We don't put flesh on this. We're jaded to all these truths.
- 02:33
- We are, we're just jaded to it. Even you get into this group like this where it's like, this is the gospel. Let's end abortion because of Jesus.
- 02:41
- And let's abolition and criminalize abortion. And even in this room, we're totally jaded to the fact that today, right around us, today while we were doing this, so many babies died.
- 02:50
- There's no flesh on it, it's not real to us. It's just this far away theoretical thing most of the time.
- 02:57
- We're not really broken over. And I'm not saying we need to walk around every day as sad saps and there's no joy in the
- 03:02
- Christian life and act like God isn't sovereign because he's sovereign over all the dead babies. But that's a sovereign judgment on us, on our nation.
- 03:14
- But we have to put flesh on it, right? Like treat it like it's a real thing, like it's really happening.
