We're Going to Make It! - And Comments on Tim Keller

Well, welcome back to the channel.

You may be surprised to see me.

But I'm back.

That's right.

You know on Saturday. I got a Second ban from YouTube.

I got it this time.

It was a two -week ban because of some content that allegedly broke the terms and service

conditions.

I I have no idea exactly what happened.

Well, I'm not banned anymore.

I pressed the appeal button, which I didn't think actually worked.

I just assumed that that was just there just for just for like just to look good, you know I assumed it was one of those things where you

you press the appeal and they say hey, you know.

We investigated ourselves and we found out that we were right all along.

That's what I just assumed.

But anyway, I appealed it and I didn't really put any details as to why I appealed but it turns out they looked at the video.

Again, I'm not gonna tell you which video it is because I don't want anyone to know.

But they looked at the video again, it turned out it did not break the terms of service.

So here I got my ban lifted.

Anyway, I wanted to do this video today.

This will be a quick video.

Yeah, you know what?

I always say that maybe it won't be who knows.

But I had a great weekend a good long holiday weekend.

I hope you had a good long holiday weekend as well.

I had some visitors in town.

My mother from West Virginia.

Came to visit my sister came to visit and her little daughter and she's just so adorable.

She's the same age as one of my sons and we just had a great old time, you know.

Just hanging out reminiscing talking, you know playing we went to the batting cages.

I was just drilling, you know base hits off the fast pitch and all that kind of thing.

I got my sister to try the fast pitch which which in this cage the fast pitch is like 75 something like that and

I've got my sister to go into the 75 cage, which I applaud her for trying but it was really funny.

I wish I had a video of it.

I tried to get my mother to go into the fast pitch.

But she was not having it.

No way.

Anyway, my son had a little league game guys.

We're gonna make it.

I'm just gonna tell you that right now.

We are we're definitely gonna make it.

I'll tell you about my son in just a moment.

But you know after the trip was over on Tuesday I drove my mother and sister to the airport in Windsor

Windsor Locks, Connecticut and I Grew up in Windsor, Connecticut, which is right next door.

And so after I dropped them off I said, you know what?

Let me just let me just go to my where I grew up and just you know.

See the sights, you know that kind of thing and it was a you know, Tuesday morning.

You know right around the time when the bus picks kids up I even saw the old bus that I used to take to school and all that kind

of stuff.

I saw my house and you know, everything looks pretty much the same as it did 30 years ago

but a Little smaller.

That's one thing that I've noticed that every time I go back to a place that I remember from as a kid.

It's always smaller than it I remember it, but it basically looks the same and the smells were the same.

I could smell the nice spring air and and just the the flowers blooming and stuff like that.

Some of these houses like I guess they haven't changed their sighting in 30 years because the colors of the houses are exactly

the same.

It's just really really crazy.

I even went to the old park that I used to play in and I even you know Threw my fishing rod in the

water a little bit.

I didn't catch anything.

I don't know if there's really any fish in this pond anymore, but that was fun.

I also went to the Little League field where I played Little League.

I'll never forget my team won the little not not the Little League World Series but just like the World Series in our town

and It was on one of my hits that we won and I was facing against my best friend who was pitching for the other team.

I was on the Mets.

He was on the Red Sox and You know, he was pitching and I got a little dribbler like it basically was a bunt.

But because it was the last inning and I had a guy on third base and in literally you just run pretty much

no matter What he was running and my my my friend tried to throw me out at

first.

He couldn't because he couldn't get to the ball in time and then the run scored.

He should have she should have thrown it home to stop the run from scoring.

But we won the Little League World Series that day.

That was what a fool man.

That was a great time in my childhood.

Wonderful guys, though.

We're gonna make it.

We're gonna make it.

I went to Town Hall and Town Hall and look Connecticut is a terrible state very liberal very

Progressive, you know super gay probably.

I don't really know.

I don't follow Connecticut politics, but I have to assume it's super gay, but the Town Hall was all done

up for Memorial Day because Memorial Day was the day before and There's just all of the traditional sort of, you know

banners and American flags and stuff like that.

Not a single pride flag to be seen and I'm sure there's pride flags there today.

Don't get me wrong.

But it almost feels like almost feels like a rebellion to fly the American flag.

I've never been one to have a whole lot of national pride.

I really haven't that's not how I Really grew up or anything like that.

I liked America, but it was never that big a deal for me.

But I gotta say I've kind of had a renewed sense of nationality in the last couple of years and

They they look put it this way We the gays can't have America and global

homo can't have America.

It is just that simple and I believe that we have a great future ahead of

us.

We're gonna make it guys.

We really are and this is the thing I think that a lot of Solid believers

live in the United States.

I think that there's a lot of true Christians in the United States I think a lot of people want to

want to say that oh There's really not that many faithful Christians and you know, they want to they want to say that but but I think there's a

lot Of faithful Christians.

I think a lot of us have been Really beaten down over time and depressed.

Put into a state of submission and they're just waiting to be reawakened.

I think they're just waiting for a small vocal insistent

Confident minority to really start making some moves and I think that there's a huge awakening coming.

I really do.

We're gonna make it guys.

It's just that simple.

Man, when I went to Town Hall Windsor Town Hall and I saw how it was and I saw you know It even just

going back to the like the Little League field and stuff like that.

The Little League field was fairly well kept and I'm just thinking like man over 30 years.

Think about all that's happened since I was in the batter's box in Little League in Windsor, Connecticut.

I was in the batter's box 30 years has passed so much craziness has happened so many

opportunities for for people to be black pilled to such a degree that they don't even bring their kids to Little League anymore

and Yet life goes on and people and there's still probably a lot of believe one thing I've noticed in my town anyway

in the league that my kids are in there's a ton of Christians a Ton of Christians every time I go to a game there's

Christians on our team.

There's Christians on the other team.

I recognize them because you know, we're in small communities up here.

So I recognize them from my church and from other churches and it's just there's a lot of Christians and These kids are there

and they're just having the time of their lives and I know that these parents a lot of them are Raising their kids in the fear and admonition of the

Lord.

They're raising them to be warriors and that's the thing guys I think we're gonna win and I think that we're guaranteed to win.

You know, God has vouchsafed our journey.

I think there's a lot of reasons for optimism.

I think that you see, you know.

Sort of a global homo and the gays and and all the woke stuff that has the seeds of its own destruction

inside of it.

But but the thing is you can't just rest on your laurels though.

Like it's not gonna destroy itself and not be replaced by something horrible.

It's gonna destroy itself, but you still have to act and I think you know.

One thing that reminded me of that this weekend was there was this kid and my in my in my son's Little League

game.

He's on the opposing team.

My heart just went out to this kid because he reminded me of my son.

From last year because my front son from last year played t -ball and t -ball, you know, that's very low -key.

But I was practicing, you know, you know him hitting pitched balls last year as well.

And he was very scared of the ball terrified and this kid man.

My heart went out to him because every pitch it didn't matter if it was close to him.

It didn't matter if it was far away from him.

It didn't matter if it was short or long or high or low.

He was diving out of the batter's box this kid was Deathly afraid of this ball.

He never swung.

He never did anything.

He would just dive as soon as the ball left the pitcher's hand.

He would dive out of the batter's box.

He was terrified and no matter what anyone said to him.

He was still do it.

No matter how much encouragement he got he would still do it.

He reminded me of my son.

But you see him with my son, you know, we we worked on that.

I didn't let him get away with that.

I didn't let him just say, okay.

Well, I guess he's not gonna play baseball.

Like I didn't do that.

We just kept at it.

We kept at it.

We kept at it and I'm sure there was a lot of frustration on his part.

I know there was some on my side, you know, of course I try to internalize.

I don't want him to see that.

I'm frustrated but it's like it's like man.

What do I have to say to this kid to make him not be afraid of this ball?

We figured it out eventually and now you know, like he actually got his very first hit off of a kid yesterday or

this weekend.

He went two for two.

He had this really great hit off a kid which pitchy hitting off of a kid instead of the the coaches.

It's totally different because when a coach pitches you have a pretty general idea.

It's it's most likely gonna be a hit of a ball strike.

But with the kid you have to sometimes be ready to dodge the ball because you never know where that ball's gonna go.

He'll go behind you for all you know, cuz kids are a little wild but he hung in there in fact the first pitch he had to get

out of the way and He dove out of the way and I was like, oh no.

This is gonna affect him because I'm thinking of my son from last year but then He got right back in the

batter's box and he drilled a hit on the third base side.

That's very next hit and he was just so excited.

I was just so excited very proud of the guy.

You know, we're we're working on things like courage and confidence.

And of course, we're we're working on all the normal stuff, too.

You know, he's learning his mathematics.

He's learning about the world.

He's learning about the Lord.

But we're really working on courage.

We're really working on confidence and it's just so it's so awesome to see it.

And I've got all the faith in the world all the confidence in the Lord that he's going to

Use my children very powerfully for the kingdom of God and they're gonna have confidence.

And the thing is there's so many black pills out there that you can take and a lot of people are gonna be taking black pills.

During pride month and the thing is pride month is nonsense, right?

We all get it.

We all get it.

Here's what you need to avoid you need to avoid feeling beaten down because that's what they're hoping for.

They're hoping that they're gonna do their debauched parade.

They're hoping that they're gonna every company's gonna put their stupid pride rainbow flag up.

They're hoping that there's gonna be so much pride stuff going on that you are just going to feel like it's inevitable.

That global homo is gonna win.

It's actually inevitable that global homo is going to fall it's just that simple it is just that

simple and there's a resurgence of Pushback against the gay agenda that's

happening right now.

People are willing to just say hey, you know what?

We should actually suppress this debauchery.

We should suppress this degeneracy and I don't care what you call me.

We should do it by the force of law.

People are recognizing this people are admitting this even a lot of non.

You know people people that you wouldn't expect are saying, you know, maybe I don't agree with you.

You're a kind of a wacky theonomist.

Maybe I don't agree with exactly how far you would go with this.

But there's got to be something done here and I'm off.

I'm all for it guys.

We are going to make it.

It's just that simple and the more people that realize that they can just Say these things that they've thought in their head for

a long time that we need to suppress this debauchery this degeneracy.

There's grooming.

We need to suppress this with the force of law people.

A lot of people have thought this.

More people are getting comfortable saying it and that is a very good thing.

No matter what James Lindsay says.

And so guys we're gonna make it guys don't ever get blackpilled refuse to take that black pill refuse.

That's all you got to do.

Here's the new meme.

It's free.

It's so free out here when you just simply refuse to take the black pill the joy of

the Lord is your strength.

I'm actually preaching on that passage this coming Sunday at my church.

So prayers for me for that.

I Wanted to end this video though With a quick kind of thing that was

almost gonna say statement, but I don't want to make it that serious.

About Tim Keller, you know, because I've seen a lot of hand -wringing about Tim Keller and people are saying how could you

deny his amazing?

Legacy, he was a man who rose above the political and nature of our climate and he

wasn't left.

He wasn't right he was just Christian and That's obviously

nonsense now.

I've got a complicated feeling about Tim Keller's passing because on the one hand I

Know his legacy at least right now is primarily a negative one.

His legacy is one of limp -wristed Christianity his legacy is one of a very

compromised version of Christianity at least socially and publicly his legacy

You know, unfortunately can be can be You know shown with one picture

and that is the three gay ballet dancers During a worship service doing a gay ballet

dance now I really I actually I recognize someone told me that one of those guys has has since regretted what he

did there.

He's totally based now.

That's what I heard.

I don't know if that's true or not, but That's his legacy, you know gay ballerina men in

In church during church and the thing is Tim Keller, you know He you

sit down and probably talk to him one -on -one and he probably has a lot of correct beliefs and eat a lot of correct teachings

you get him in public and He gets mealy -mouthed.

He gets wishy -washy and there's so many examples of this where there's even one example where you know

Someone asks him a question about is Jesus the only way and which is should you should knock that out of the park and he?

Gets the right answer sort of but he kind of just talks in this Roundabout kind of a

way and and it's just like what are you doing, man?

And and what he's doing is he's trying to appeal To the liberal world is what he's trying to do.

He's trying to appeal to the liberal world that his church Was was was founded in in New York City.

That's what he's trying to do.

And so because of that he ends up Softening out some of the rougher edges of scripture, you

know He ends up dulling the sharpness of the two -edged sword of the Word of God and that's

what his legacy is all about.

He's done tremendous damage To a lot of people and you can see it in his disciples in the in his

sycophants and his zealots the people that I've learned so much from him and they've grew up and they want to be like him and

and they're ten times As bad as he was.

And that's you know, you can understand that that's the fruit of his ministry it's it's not it's

mixed at best Tim Keller was controversial with a mixed legacy at

best and actually I think right now his legacy is Primarily negative.

That's what I think now I say right now because Obviously, I've you know, we've got to have a longer time

horizon, right?

Because I think there's a lot of people that that Tim Keller sort of influenced and you know

came to faith.

You know.

Maybe through Tim Keller's teaching and stuff like that that I think are going to wake up from this liberal

limp -wristed Sort of effeminate stupor and they're gonna be based and they're gonna be Powerful

warriors for the kingdom of God.

I believe that with all my heart because quite frankly, I'm one of those people.

It's just that I woke up really early, you know I've told this story many times but his book the prodigal God while

not a book that I would recommend to most people today.

It was a good book in general for my stage in life and it kind of woke me up from

my stupor.

And so I came back to faith, you know through in large part through that book and I even attended Tim Keller's church for a

while.

I left it but you know, there were some helpful things about it no question about it and I think I think that there's a lot of

people that owe Tim Keller a eternal weight of gratitude when it comes to stuff like that

because He was very effective in his time.

I saw someone privately Say that he was the pinnacle of evangelical

Evangelicalism in neutral world when things weren't so so bad and there weren't as many black

pills, you know.

Handed out like candy everywhere.

He was he was the pinnacle of evangelicalism.

I don't know if I would agree with the pinnacle of evangelicalism but I can understand why someone would say he was really good for neutral world,

but the problem is now we're in negative world and Not only is he?

Completely worthless in negative world in my opinion, but he's actually bad for us in negative

world.

He's actually he actually harms us.

He's the kind of guy that runs to the New York Times or the Atlantic to rip Christians along with the

pagans in negative world.

He's the one they're saying, you know pagans.

You're right.

The quotes Christians are awful in negative world.

Tim Keller I think and I don't.

I don't pretend to know the mind of God, but Tim Keller was on a very very bad track.

When he passed away.

Some people when they see someone pass away when they're on a track like that.

Think that God was mercifully taking him out.

So that he did not end up where that track was leading to some people say that about rush duty I remember

talking.

I believe this was the one time I talked to JD Hall.

Actually, I spoke with JD Hall on the phone one time in my entire life, and it was a great conversation and

He told me that at one point that he believed that RJ rush duty, which is one of my favorite

theologians.

Well, I don't even know.

I guess he's a theologian.

Yeah, why not?

He told me that he believes that God took rush duty out so that he wouldn't become a Judaizer.

If I'm in JD if you listen to this I don't know.

I don't even know if you watch this kind of content anymore.

But if you do and I am not quite quoting you, right, I'm sorry, but I don't mean I'm not doing it intentionally.

That's what I heard that that they took rush duty out early so that he wouldn't become a full Judaizer.

I don't know if I agree with that or not.

But but I think that's possible that God can take people out that are his so that they don't apostatize.

I think that Tim Keller I'm being totally straightforward with you.

I think he was on that track.

I think he was on that track.

Tim Keller.

Mixed legacy at best.

I think it was a negative legacy at least in this in June 2023.

It's a negative legacy.

We'll see what happens in time.

Grateful for his book because it helped me out.

But but overall in in in recent times, it's just his his limp -wristed version of

Christianity.

Not only is it worthless in this time, but it's doing more harm than it's doing good.

It's hurting a lot of people.

It's ruining people.

In fact, it's ruining people that are you know.

Put out content about his death and they tell you exactly how it was ruining them.

Even though they don't see it that way because they're liberals, right?

Comforting liberals doesn't do anyone any good and that's what Tim Keller did a lot of.

So there's my there's my statement on Keller guys.

We I'm serious.

We're gonna make it.

We are going to make it guys and so because we're going to make it because this is going to be a successful

Mission that should give you all the more energy to fight for the Lord to

engage the battle for the Lord.

He has vouchsafed our journey guys.

He is on our side.

There are more that are with us.

Then are with them.

Remember that every time you see a thousand gay pride flags in your town center.

Remember he who is with us is greater than he who is in the world.

There is no question about that.

God bless you all.

I love you guys.

Take care.

I'm glad to be back on YouTube.

By the way, my days on YouTube are numbered.

There's just no question about it.

I finally after like three or four years have gotten the attention of the eye of Sauron.

And so I think my channel is days are numbered.

So follow me on gab.

Follow me on rumble.

I might Definitely follow me on Twitter.

I might start uploading videos to Twitter.

We'll see we'll see what happens guys, but a god bless you I hope you found this video helpful.
