- Dudley, my high school, college, and classmate left me with this haunting question. How many people look at the churches in America these days and see the face of Jesus?
- 00:09
- Guess what? I'm going to let you in on a little secret,
- 00:15
- Dudley. Dudley, I don't care what pagans think
- 00:23
- Jesus should be like. I don't care what pagans think
- 00:32
- Jesus should look like. I also don't care what pagans think
- 00:41
- I should act like in order to be acting like Jesus. And your biggest problem,
- 00:49
- Dudley, is that you do. You think that they get to define what it's like to be
- 00:56
- Christ -like. You think that they get to define what it means to be loving and to be civil and all of these kinds of things.
- 01:03
- They simply do not. That's the biggest difference between me and you, Dudley, is that I'm looking to the scripture to define these things.
- 01:11
- I'm looking to the actual examples of Christ to define these things. I'm not looking to the pagans.
- 01:17
- When the pagan looks at me and they see me standing up for the unborn or for those that are being arrested in Canada and stuff like that, and I'm getting a little bit heated about it, it doesn't matter to me one iota if they look at me and say,
- 01:32
- You're not being Christ -like. What matters to me is if God thinks
- 01:39
- I'm being Christ -like. Now I might not hit the mark every time, and that's okay.
- 01:45
- That's okay because I've got a Savior who has covered me. But I'm trying, God bless me,
- 01:51
- I'm trying to follow His example. And His example is not caring what the people thought about Him, but rather caring what
- 02:00
- His Father thought about Him. I think you should try doing that. Because here's the thing,
- 02:07
- I'm not trying to sin, I'm not trying to sin, but I'm trying to do the things that the Lord requires.
- 02:13
- And so if I do sin, He will cover me. And I don't care what the pagans think about it in the process.
