- I have a cheering section. Thank you. We're glad you guys came. Thank you so much Praise God for this moment.
- 00:11
- Thank you all for standing out here in this heat Boy, Louisiana is definitely hot, isn't it?
- 00:17
- What is it? What is it? May April? It gets worse than this
- 00:23
- That's what you get for building in a swamp I'm so glad you guys came listen I'm honored to stand and to talk to you about this amazing
- 00:33
- Incredible gift that we have right now in the state of Louisiana in your state right now
- 00:38
- HB 813 is the bill to abolish and to criminalize abortion in your state
- 00:43
- It is a bill that is unprecedented. It is not a regulatory bill It's not a bill of regulation is a bill that criminalizes and abolishes abortion because it fundamentally addresses the issue
- 00:54
- It addresses the same issue the fundamental evil That we had in the time of slavery and in the time of the
- 01:02
- Holocaust What's in the womb is without question. It is indisputable
- 01:08
- Biologically human from the moment of conception. This is not This is not a biological question.
- 01:16
- It's not a scientific question Our cheering section over here cannot dispute the fact that what's in the womb is
- 01:24
- Human from conception as a matter of fact the pro -aborts at the very top
- 01:30
- Acknowledged today because it can't be disputed that what's in the womb is human from conception. It's not a biological question
- 01:36
- It's an ethical one. It's a moral one What's in the womb is human and the question is will you dehumanize this class of humans?
- 01:46
- like they did to our beautiful black brothers and sisters during the time of slavery and Did to the
- 01:52
- Jews during the time of the Holocaust this is in principle the same issue as a matter of fact
- 01:57
- I recognize one of these signs over here. It says keep abortion legal I recognize that tribe only the wording was a little different a little long ago.
- 02:05
- It used to say keep slavery legal and It was defeated not by secularism
- 02:14
- Not by atheism. It was defeated because of religious laws
- 02:20
- Coming from the Christian Church Your humanism and your atheism and your secularism is dead.
- 02:32
- It is dead It serves no purpose. It is an evil Monstrosity because if you take the worldview of the tribe to my right
- 02:42
- That says that human beings are just matter in motion Just the random results of evolutionary processes that didn't have them in mind if you believe what they've been taught and what they say is
- 02:55
- True, then all human beings our ancestors were just bacteria So why not kill the
- 03:00
- Jew why not enslave the black man? It is not your worldview that brings justice and peace to the world.
- 03:08
- It's Jesus Christ and God's Word and What you need to understand
- 03:16
- When we see signs coming from the tribe over here of the descendants of fish
- 03:23
- When they say keep your religious laws out of the public square
- 03:28
- Let me encourage you about the glory of Jesus Christ and God's Word Religious laws out of the public square.
- 03:35
- Do you like the doctrine of the separation of church and state? Well, you can thank a
- 03:40
- Christian for that because that's an historic Christian doctrine Although it doesn't mean what you think it means
- 03:46
- It meant that we didn't want a Church of England situation where the state governs the church
- 03:51
- It means that the state and the church are both under the authority of Jesus Christ But they are separate spears and that the king must obey
- 04:02
- Jesus because there is no king but Christ Also keeping religious laws out of the public square would have kept slavery
- 04:15
- Legal Slavery was abolished because of Christian abolitionist who said that the black man and the black woman are made in the
- 04:26
- Imago Dei They are not random results of evolutionary processes
- 04:32
- They are not the descendants of bacteria there in the image of God and that's what defeated slavery
- 04:39
- It isn't your atheism or secularism you lose Also The issue of slavery was ultimately done away with because of that pesky
- 04:50
- Religious law from the law of God that says that if you kidnap and enslave a person you deserve capital punishment
- 04:57
- So we defeated slavery in the same way. We're gonna defeat your evil Also, no religious laws in the public square.
- 05:10
- How do you like your free speech, right? Let me tell you Stalin and his atheism didn't give you that Jesus did so welcome to it
- 05:20
- No religious laws in the public square. Well, you can thank Jesus in the Word of God for no
- 05:26
- Warrantless searches and seizures that comes directly from Scripture. It is a part of English common law that got to us
- 05:34
- It didn't come from your secularism or your atheism so you can thank Jesus for that one, too How about one more religious law since they don't want him?
- 05:41
- How about the right to remain? Innocent until proven guilty. Where's that come from?
- 05:47
- Mosaic legislation the law word of God, baby. So welcome to it Here's the key issue today
- 05:57
- This issue is about the authority of Jesus Christ and it's about time the Evangelical Church in the
- 06:02
- West Recognized not only what the law word of God says about the authority of Jesus Christ, but what our spiritual ancestors gave us
- 06:10
- When this nation was founded this nation was founded by people who had just in the atmosphere the
- 06:18
- Assumption of the authority of King Jesus the law word of God and when they established their colonies and this nation
- 06:24
- It was in the atmosphere and understood that the ultimate standard in terms of what is righteous holy, good, true, beautiful and just is the word of the
- 06:34
- Living God and That's how we got the blessings that we have today It didn't come from atheism didn't come from humanism didn't come from secularism
- 06:44
- I challenge you to check out the first Supreme Court justice in this nation a
- 06:49
- Devout follower of Jesus Christ got the Bible all over the place and he quoted
- 06:55
- Explicitly from the law of God when he created the case law system of our nation
- 07:01
- If you like the case law system of our nation, you can thank Moses for that John Jay quoted from it explicitly
- 07:08
- My have we come a long way and we've come a long way not because the law word of God has failed
- 07:16
- We've come a long way because the church has failed to be the salt and the light that Jesus Christ commands us to be salt preserves from decay and spoil
- 07:28
- Light dispels darkness when we think the world's just going to go to hell in a handbasket.
- 07:33
- And what's the point? I just get to get out of here. Anyways, we leave the culture in ruins because there is nothing but decay and nothing but darkness the
- 07:43
- Word of God is sharp It does not return void and it is the gospel that is the power of God for salvation
- 07:53
- Somebody might say, you know, I just want to be about the gospel great One of the one of the fundamental parts of the gospel its proclamation is the lordship of Jesus Christ He has all authority in heaven and on earth
- 08:08
- And so if you want to be about the gospel then look around the earth. What is not under his authority?
- 08:16
- Everything is under his authority and that means that everything is a gospel issue
- 08:22
- Because he is king of kings and Lord of Lords all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth and Jesus says go
- 08:28
- Therefore make disciples of all the nations baptize them. And what's he say teach?
- 08:34
- them to obey our instruction as The church is to speak to our culture and particularly to the legislators here in this state and say to them
- 08:47
- We love you. We're praying for you We are asking God to bless you with courage be obedient to God Obey his law that says you shall not murder
- 08:59
- What's in the womb is human from conception every human being deserves equal protection every human does
- 09:07
- Equal protection one of the great challenges and here's what you need to hear One of the great challenges that we have in every single state that we've gone to please hear this
- 09:19
- This is not meant to be an attack This is meant to be honest and to reveal to you all what we've been dealing with behind the scenes
- 09:27
- You need to know what's going on The greatest enemy we have right now to justice for our pre -born neighbors is the pro -life industry
- 09:37
- It's not the pro -choicers Their arguments are bootleg and bankrupt
- 09:44
- They can't sustain an argument against the truth. Our greatest enemy has been the pro -life leaders who fund their operations with millions and millions of dollars of donations
- 09:58
- They make promises to those who are partnering with them and giving all this money to them that we are trying to end
- 10:05
- Abortion that all human life is sacred all human life needs to be protected But in every single state every single state that we've been in in the last couple of years
- 10:16
- Oklahoma, Arizona Texas, South Carolina Colorado Pennsylvania and now
- 10:23
- Louisiana The opposition to these bills of equal protection and abolition has not come from the pro -choice lobby or industry
- 10:30
- It has come from the pro -life leadership and pro -life industry They have been the greatest enemy they go and we know about your conversations
- 10:39
- Our legislators talk to us when we put the bill of equal protection in these pro -life
- 10:44
- Leaders in this industry goes into their rooms quietly out of the view of you the givers
- 10:50
- They go to their rooms and they say don't pass that bill It's not time don't pass that bill.
- 10:56
- Yeah, we agree with it. Yeah, that's exactly what we say It's human from conception, but it's not the time
- 11:02
- Not the time means that you're a coward Not the time means that you're waiting for God to raise up the hero after you it is the time for justice as Brian said you have at least 20 babies a day murdered in your state over 7 ,000 will die this year.
- 11:21
- It is time to end abortion in this state to be courageous The pro -life industry is not consistent with their profession
- 11:28
- They tell you they want your money and they're gonna fight for the lives of these pre -born children They say all life is precious all life deserves to be protected
- 11:36
- But they will not be consistent with their profession that they believe that it's human from conception because they resist these bills of Justice for the pre -born human from conception in every single state.
- 11:51
- We've gotten it in They fought against every bill in Oklahoma Tony Lowinger who was the vice president of national right to life and I believe the president of Oklahomans for life
- 12:03
- He went when the legislators asked him. How should we vote on this bill of abolition? He said don't pass it
- 12:10
- He said if you guys pass this bill, it'll do away with all our pro -life legislation
- 12:19
- Yes Praise God that it will in Texas Jeff Leach suppressed and blocked the bill of abolition in the state of,
- 12:30
- Texas in Arizona Kathy Herod one of the leading pro -life leaders in my state
- 12:36
- Went to all of our sponsors and convinced them not to pass the bill of equal protection
- 12:42
- Why? Because it's a foreign world view She says as the pro -life industry typically does normally does generally does that the woman and the man?
- 12:54
- involved in the abortion process bringing their child to the abortionist are themselves
- 13:01
- Victims like the baby they say that there are two victims in abortion the mother and the baby
- 13:09
- That's a foreign worldview It's a foreign worldview because God's Word says in Proverbs 1715 that the one who acquits the guilty and the one who condemns the righteous are both equally alike an abomination to God We know what it means to see somebody who is innocent go through a trial and be called guilty
- 13:35
- We call that abomination. We say it's an evil. We say it's an injustice and we need to fight against it But God says he feels the same way about Acquitting the person who actually is guilty and the pro -life industry has a foreign worldview
- 13:50
- Not not based on the gospel in Scripture that says the mother is herself a victim which means that they have brothers and sisters
- 13:57
- Robbed these women of the truth of the gospel and the hope of the gospel
- 14:03
- My church is filled with women who have not just had one abortion But multiple abortions and they are honest about their sin and they are free in Jesus Christ.
- 14:14
- They are forgiven Because they came to Christ Recognizing what had been done and they gave it to the one who said it is finished on the cross the pro -life
- 14:25
- Establishment says we are not Christian. They say it explicitly They say we are not doing what we're doing because the
- 14:31
- Word of God and we believe women are victims brothers and sisters The pro -life industry will never end abortion like that ever
- 14:41
- Everywhere the Christian Church has gone with the gospel. We have done away with slavery We have done away with infanticide and the murder of children and we are in that moment now brothers and sisters where the question is
- 14:53
- Going to be asked to you. Will you speak the truth of God's Word to your culture in the public square?
- 14:59
- Will you stand up and actually lay your life down for these precious children?
- 15:05
- my son my fifth child Augustine Gideon Durbin. I Adopted him two years ago
- 15:13
- He was diagnosed in the womb of his biological mother with the worst stage of spina bifida there is
- 15:21
- He was going to be in surgery. They said for up to six weeks in the hospital because his spine was wide open
- 15:26
- We have the ultrasounds. He was gonna need brain surgery. He may never walk. They told us
- 15:32
- He was in the womb of his biological mother she tried to kill him twice two times two times and if this tribe had their way
- 15:45
- Augustine would be murdered today and Augustine is the most precious beautiful boy in the world.
- 15:51
- And guess what? God healed him of the spina bifida. He came out whole Your tribe is a tribe of death.
- 16:01
- You ought to meet my son. You'd love him The pro -life industry will fail
- 16:09
- Not only because they acquit the guilty which God calls an abomination, but they will fail because they practice partiality
- 16:16
- They actually say give us your money and we will establish justice for the pre -born.
- 16:23
- What is their justice look like? Let me give you some examples very important Kathy Herod in my state resisted our bill of equal protection
- 16:30
- She told the legislators don't pass that pass my bill her bill said that you can kill children in Arizona But not for the express reason that they have
- 16:41
- Down syndrome or genetic abnormality and the way around that bill Are you ready that moot point that irrelevant bill that she took money for the way around it in my state is to simply say
- 16:52
- To the abortionist. I'm not killing it for Down syndrome. I'm killing it because I hate it and You can kill your baby
- 17:00
- She also put in a bill don't pass Jeff's bill pass my bill her bill Said that you have to give the child a proper burial
- 17:08
- You know what? She did she lined the pockets of the abortion industry because the abortion industry just put the cost of the funeral and the burial
- 17:16
- Or whatever it took place into the cost of the abortion with a premium. So she raised
- 17:23
- The capital For the abortion industry in my state
- 17:29
- With dollars she took from Christians that trusted her to end abortion
- 17:34
- This is what's going on behind the scenes brothers and sisters. It's time to call out the pro -life industry and establishment
- 17:41
- They are the greatest obstacle right now to justice for the pre -born. I'll say it again because it's the truth before God They are the greatest obstacle for justice for the pre -born in your state right now
- 17:53
- When you speak to them you speak to them saying we demand that you pass the bill and Encourage the bill of equal protection.
- 18:01
- You say it's human from a conception. You say all human life is sacred So do your duty before God?
- 18:08
- Pass HB 813 encourage the state to know about it Wednesday you're getting a hearing for a bill to abolish and criminalize abortion.
- 18:16
- Do you realize how close you are? Do you realize how close you are?
- 18:21
- What it's going to take is you brothers and sisters being willing to lay your life down to speak the truth
- 18:27
- To be vilified by tribes like this To be booed when you're standing for the life of the pre -born
- 18:38
- Our ancestors in the faith gave their lives to pass down the gospel in the Word of God under much worse
- 18:44
- Circumstances they were many times spar Starved burned in ovens.
- 18:50
- They were crucified. They were killed their wives raped They were destroyed every all their property destroyed for the cause of the gospel so that they can give you a deposit
- 19:02
- Your state has a bill of equal protection brothers and sisters speak the truth boldly and with love
- 19:08
- Be here on Wednesday at 9 Jesus had the room of the most remarkable
- 19:16
- Serrated edge that he would use in his ministry. We're finishing up here.
- 19:21
- I know it's hot And I really mean it this time. He had the most remarkably harsh words
- 19:33
- Not necessarily for the unbelievers. He had the remarkably serrated edge
- 19:42
- For the religious hypocrites the people Who were the hypocrite the hoopa crites the actors that word hoopa?
- 19:53
- Crete is from stage plays. It was people who put on costumes and masks
- 19:58
- Actual literal masks to play a part and he called the religious establishment of his day
- 20:05
- Those who put on the veneer of godliness and righteousness and held up the law word of God He called them hoopa crites actors pretenders
- 20:15
- He says you go and you pray on the street corners So everyone sees you pray you give and make noise so everyone sees you give he tells us people don't be like the actors
- 20:26
- Don't be like the pretenders who put on a front They put on a front so they can gain something
- 20:32
- Don't be like those who say one thing and they do another when you pray go hide in your closet
- 20:39
- So no one sees you praying when you give do it secretly So your father knows not others when you fast don't make yourself look gloomy
- 20:47
- Don't make yourself look dirty things on you several. It's always fasting No, do it secretly wash your face make sure no one knows because what
- 20:55
- Jesus wants is a true Follower and a real relationship with him not the facade and Jesus condemns the religious pretenders
- 21:04
- He calls them actors. You're pretending God's harshest words in Scripture are
- 21:10
- Generally I They're sometimes Disturbingly harsh. They're meant to cut you there for the religious hypocrites people who say one thing and do another they put up a front
- 21:20
- In Matthew's Gospel, you'll remember I hope that when Jesus comes into Jerusalem, he declares woes
- 21:28
- Upon the religious establishment in Jerusalem. He gives them the seven woes Why because they pretended to be the righteous the religious those standing for life and God's Word and truth
- 21:41
- And yet they did the opposite They did the opposite. They perverted God's Word So In light of where we're at right now for justice for the pre -born and our great enemy to advance justice
- 21:56
- Woe to you pro -life leadership Hypocrites For you borrow the truths about the sanctity of human life from Scripture and then you shut the kingdom of God in people's faces refusing to proclaim the authority of Christ and God's Word over the atrocity of abortion
- 22:16
- Woe to you pro -life leadership hypocrites for you travel across sea and land to gain donors and followers and when you get them you make them twice as much of compromising children of hell as yourselves
- 22:32
- Woe to you blind leaders who enact legislation Who say we will permit the killing of a baby using sharp instruments and suction
- 22:40
- But not through poison and chemicals you blind leaders You say if you kill a healthy baby, it is permissible
- 22:49
- If you kill a baby because it has Down syndrome, it is illegal victory.
- 22:55
- They say Woe to you pro -life leaders for you organize marches
- 23:01
- Fundraisers and banquets and you have neglected the weightier matters of the law justice courage and faithfulness
- 23:10
- Woe to you pro -life leaders for you are like whitewashed tombs Which outwardly appear beautiful but within are full of dead babies bodies and on all in all uncleanness
- 23:23
- So you outwardly appear the protectors of innocent precious human life, but within you are full of hypocrisy compromise and cowardice
- 23:32
- Woe to you pro -life leaders hypocrites for you extol the
- 23:37
- Christian heroes who abolished slavery and Stood against the Holocaust saying if we had lived in their day
- 23:46
- We would have not permitted the enslaving or murder of human beings Thus your compromise and resistance to bills of abolition
- 23:55
- Witness against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who compromised and permitted these great evils
- 24:04
- Brothers and sisters There's a day of judgment There is a day of judgment
- 24:12
- Jesus is God in the flesh He died for sinners and he rose again from the dead
- 24:18
- He is ascended and seated on his throne and we want you to know life in him turn to him and live
- 24:25
- But there is a day of judgment that was the proclamation of the New Testament the apostolic witness says
- 24:30
- They went into the world saying God commands men everywhere to repent He has raised
- 24:36
- Jesus from the dead and he's going to judge the world. There will be a day of judgment Where every idle word will be known including every idle vote
- 24:47
- There's a day of judgment and I want to encourage our legislators and pro -life leaders in this state to remember that if you resist and do not pass
- 24:59
- Hb813 the bill of equal protection for all humans in this state on You will come and account for all the innocent blood spilled in this state from this day forward
- 25:12
- God says in his word that he's a consuming fire. Yes God is love and he displays that love supremely in Jesus Christ.
- 25:19
- Amen But he's also a consuming fire and he's a judge of all the earth and he will always do right and may
- 25:27
- I humbly Please ask you to remind yourselves brothers and sisters of God's Word in Isaiah chapter 1 in Isaiah chapter 1
- 25:37
- God tells his people he doesn't want their prayers. He doesn't want their worship He doesn't want their offering and why because they have blood -stained hands
- 25:47
- They have injustice all around them and they'll do nothing about it. So God says that their worship is repulsive to him
- 25:54
- All their religiosity is meaningless And so he says to them cease to do evil learn to do good seek justice correct oppression bring justice to the fatherless and God says there come
- 26:14
- Let us reason together says the Lord though. Your sins are as scarlet. They'll be white as snow
- 26:19
- That word that is so precious to us to all of us. There is Literally right after he tells his people you must repent of the fact that you'll do nothing
- 26:33
- Because of these injustices So in other words God hates the worship of his people
- 26:39
- When they allow this to sit around them and they do nothing God grant us repentance and Please God grant this state
