Non -rockabodas must stop. I don't want to rock the boat. I want to sink it

00:07

Are you gonna bark all day little doggie, or are you gonna bite? Delusional is okay in your worldview.

00:16

I'm an animal. You don't chastise chickens for being delusional You don't chastise pigs for being delusional. So you calling me delusional using your worldview is perfectly okay.

00:23

It doesn't really hurt Desperate times call for faithful men and not for careful men

00:36

The careful men come later and write the biographies of the faithful men lauding them for their courage

00:44

Going to all the world make disciples not going to the world make buddies not to make brosives, right?

00:50

Don't go in the world make homies Disciples, I got a bit of a jiggle Nick That's a joke master

01:00

The real message of truth, we cannot let somebody say they're speaking truth when they're not What's up guys

01:27

Welcome back to the episode of apology a radio Tell me if you ever heard this before I Think it's good

01:38

It is good Honor your father and your mother that your days may be long in the land that the

01:47

Lord your God is giving you You shall not murder You should not commit adultery.

01:53

You should not steal You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor this one

02:00

This one's good. You should not covet your neighbor's house You should not covet your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox

02:10

Or his donkey or anything that is your neighbors sound familiar that used to be kind of a standard in this country in terms of transcendent divine law and something that's

02:28

Sort of expressed public morality. I mean there are of course as we all know capitals and court courthouses across these

02:38

United States As a part of this grand experiment we call United States of America that have the

02:45

Ten Commandments listed Put over judges heads, you know chisel into the rock that sort of thing and though the

02:55

Christian worldview was the grounding of this particular nation and so many before us so many

03:02

Christians took seriously the call to disciple the nations and teach and teach them to obey Jesus though it was in the atmosphere early on and Provided the transcendent grounding to a lot of the blessings

03:13

We have in this nation that made it what it is and made it worthy of raising hands and swearing oaths to you know

03:19

I think that the vast majority of people today who raise the hand to swear the oath to Uphold and defend the

03:25

Constitution United States of America. I think that they've never read it No And they don't know why it says what it says or what it means

03:34

And so you can see that oftentimes when you see sort of like these First Amendment audit videos and you see people, you know

03:39

You know being accosted by police officers in unjust ways. You wonder this this person who swore the oath.

03:46

Did they know? What that oath what it meant what they were swearing to that's what we're gonna talk about today because we have so much

03:54

Happening in the world today. I mean it's all over the world today But particularly in the West so much is happening so much of a downgrade so much destruction and with a recent 3 .5

06:46

So thank you. Thank you Thank you. Let's get right into it first I wanted to share a quick story that sort of does

06:52

Really segue into the main thrust of what we wanted to do today So I have had so many bad experiences with TSA you

07:03

No, not so much weird Experiences. Yeah, nothing like Nobody's been you ever get felt up rude or yeah.

07:11

Yeah. Mm -hmm. Yeah, like if the I think a few times I've been through in the little mm -hmm machine a little naked at the naked machine.

07:19

Yeah Yeah, it was broken or whatever and they didn't I Don't know trust the metal detector, right?

07:25

Thanks to Bradley Pierce. It's not so not not so much a naked machine anymore It's kind of naked. It's kind.

07:31

Yeah, you know, it's it used to be they they saw all your goods and stuff

07:37

Now it's it's very different as a result of friends. We have that put some fights in and sort of Change that so praise

07:43

Lord. I didn't know Bradley. Yeah Just recently, yeah, yeah, so praise the

07:49

Lord so I almost like You should have some right to privacy or something

07:56

One would think I don't want some stranger, you know looking at me and my wife naked basic They don't so much usually when you're towing a child through they don't always make you go through Yeah, if you have a big family, they'll let you go through the metal detector, right?

08:11

That is true. You get to avoid the naked machine So I've had some bad experiences with TSA and here's here's what

08:17

I want to say I We've traveled around the world By God's grace and and it's a humbling experience bill travel on the world and preach the gospel and go all these different places

08:26

So we've seen a lot of places been Australia. We've been all over, you know, we've been Ireland We just but we've been around and so we've actually gotten through a lot of security in foreign countries and things like that And it's really actually amazing

08:39

Some of the countries that you you go to when you go through their security you're kind of as an American going

08:45

So does anybody want to fill me up? Anybody when anybody want to know takers? No one wants it.

08:51

I'm one time I walk through security and the guy was like taking your shoes off. Yeah No laptop in your bag.

08:57

That's literally happened. Like what are you doing? Why are you taking your belt and shoes off right now, sir? And I'm like, oh didn't you uh, you didn't want me to strip down like what's uh, you know and you get to the

09:05

States now and after 9 -eleven we assume now and we go into the airport that like The Constitution doesn't apply

09:12

Biblical law doesn't apply we're gonna go into this now and and a complete stranger is is allowed to touch my genitals or Backhand of my my children in the name of safety in the name of safety a complete stranger

09:26

So I'll start this by by giving you sort of like the far the the far end

09:32

So I've had a lot of thing weird happen on this trip, yeah I mean,

09:38

I just want to say I've never had as many. Yeah People kind of it's like you're a magnet

09:45

I don't go in there causing problems, but I if you do something that is unlawful,

09:50

I'll say something I mean, that's the key thing. I don't keep quiet about it. Like if you're okay So as an example, and I'm sorry everyone

09:57

I I this is a serious issue It is a violation of the law and what it speaks to as an abandonment of God's standards of justice.

10:04

That's the issue This isn't just about America and Constitution and red white and blue. Whoo, like, you know going through that's not what this is about for me

10:12

I'm a minister of the gospel. This is about God's law reigning supreme and if you give way on this it will make its way into the courts and into the the court of Popular opinion about how you can sling accusations that people you can call them guilty and try to find out if they're innocent

10:28

It's just reverse So, you know, I've had instances where you know Once I was coming through the

10:34

Spokane Airport after doing some stuff for EAN in Idaho and you know pastor

10:39

Zach and I are just having a good time We're like glad to go home now and see our families, you know, we're smiling We're not even serious and you know

10:45

I put my stuff up on the on the conveyor belt and I noticed in the corner of my eye Homeboy is standing right in the middle of the naked machine and he's just got this very angry sort of mad dog in me

10:55

Look, you know, I I just kind of glanced and I'm like, okay So I'm getting everything on the conveyor belt and then

11:02

I look over to me and he just points his finger at me and he yells like You he's like you will not come through here until your stuff passes and I was like, okay

11:13

All right. That's sure. Sure. That's fine. I was like, that's fine I like it he kept going and so finally got to the point where I walked up I said sir,

11:21

I I won't just tell me what you need me to do. Whatever, you know And so I passed through the naked machine and there is on my back the the machine goes off as big yellow square goes off and the middle of my back and He says now he proceeds to like just get really aggressive

11:37

He's like, you know, well sir, because this you know showed this we're gonna have to do a full body pat -down

11:43

I Was like what he goes we're gonna do a full body pat -downs procedure and he was like stand over here

11:49

I said, well you can be a little more professional respectful, right? I said, but what happened he goes We look on that screen right there.

11:55

You see that yellow thing. We're gonna do a full body pat -down and I was like, okay I can show you and so I lifted my shirt and I pulled it all the way back and I was like there's there's your

12:03

Machine is wrong. There's nothing there, right? And he was like he proceeded to tell me that he's going to do a a pat -down and he's going to touch my genital area

12:11

And so I said, okay. Hang on you got to explain to me something. So your machine says there's something on my upper back

12:18

So you're gonna touch my genitals now You're a stranger and a man and you're gonna touch my genitals now because of something on my back

12:26

I said touch my back I'll show you my back. I said, why are you gonna touch my genitals?

12:32

because of something on my back and he was and he was like He was like that's procedure and he was like stop giving me a hard time or there's gonna get worse for you sort of a

12:40

Thing and I was like, look, all right, go ahead and do your thing. And I said, but this is gonna get worse for you Yeah, what does that mean?

12:45

Well, he invented ended up calling a supervisor over So so what I proceeded to do is there's people everywhere and a situation like this

12:53

I want you to consider what's happening in our culture now Here's a man who is allowed to touch my most private area

13:01

He's allowed to do it in public because of something that's not even related to my private area

13:08

Right, and he's and everyone is just allowing this to take place. So if it's gonna be uncomfortable for me

13:14

I'm gonna make it uncomfortable for him. So I proceeded every this every time he put his hands, you know in my private area

13:21

I just started yelling out into the airport I was like and now he's touching my genitals and he his face was blood -red and he's getting more and more angry

13:32

And so I was just like look I said what you're doing right now is wrong I was like, I don't know you you don't know me and because of something on my back

13:38

He shouldn't want to do it. Why is there so supervisor comes over? Look I said, here's the issue.

13:45

I said you guys you guys work for the government. You swore an oath to the Constitution I said you are doing something that is

13:51

Unreasonable right now. It's not right and you're touching a stranger's genitals because of something that went off my back

13:57

I says that makes sense to you. Is there even any connection there between those things and Eventually, you know,

14:04

I got through and everything and everything was fine I've had a few instances like that and I don't think the stranger should be able to touch your genitals for no reason

14:12

Okay No, it seems like a baseline thing we want to work for in our culture, you know

14:19

Hashtag don't touch the genitals. I don't know like it seems like sort of a rule we should have so this this week

14:25

We're coming home from from Utah now mind you I were populating the earth here. Okay, it's like Luke's family

14:32

Zach's family My family we're pot. We are legitimately populating here That's hard to go out and eat together, right?

14:38

You guys want to go eat together, in fact, you only could find an Airbnb because you were in Salt Lake City exactly

14:46

Had to get to a lot of strange family situations going why do they have three houses in one house? I can't

14:52

I can't figure out why there's three kitchens in this three levels, you know, I can't figure it out I don't know why I'm weird So, you know, it's hard enough as it is for all of us, but we have children

15:01

Everywhere. I mean, I I got my kids. I got a baby or a two -year -old

15:06

He's got you know, two small kids and a baby and his wife or in a car seat and Zach Zach is apparently part of the quiver full movement.

15:15

And so he's just got kids lined up all the way down so anyway So we're coming through now and I'm told guys.

15:22

I'm I'm telling you I'm not being a troublemaker I just want to get in my airplane my family and go home.

15:28

I'm innocent. I'm innocent. I'm not carrying any weapons I'm not doing I'm not doing bad.

15:34

I'm not I'm an innocent person and So we we walk up and then now we're like, oh wait, there's gonna be a dog search now

15:42

So they have like three TSA guys to police officers and they got this dog and they're making everyone stop

15:48

And then walk past and let the dog search you. Mm -hmm So let's stop a thing about God's law now just be

15:55

Larry. He was the dog was sniffing you not searching. That's right. Yes Yeah, that's a search Man the training

16:04

So, yeah, no sniffing my genitals Yeah Can't help it so You sir can't help it this thing can't

16:17

So I'm thinking myself. Okay, what's wrong here is what's wrong here Is that what you're doing is you're treating the general public as though they are guilty and I need to prove you're you're not right

16:28

I need it right and the rule in God's law is two to three witnesses You're not allowed to even bring a charge unless there's two three witnesses and then it has to be cross -examination

16:36

The whole way through the person is supposed to be seen as innocent innocent innocent innocent until it's like nope They're guilty.

16:41

Why because of evidence of witness so that provided the foundation for justice in the

16:46

West. That's good That's really good And what we've done so what we tend to hate like all these people that are up in arms about The justice system and police and stuff usually

16:57

Those issues arise because an officer is treating someone right guilty When he doesn't actually know that I saw a video last night of a guy this this in this show

17:06

It's like watch you give one direction. You're like, it's no big deal. Just do it I mean just you're at the airport get on the plane.

17:11

Whatever you give there. It's going to spread It's like cancer. And so I saw a video last night of just this young man.

17:18

He was not He was not speeding he was not doing anything in the road that was illegal He was literally pulling into his neighborhood to come home cop pulls him over and says sir

17:27

Random mandatory DUI test and so he says the guy what what? Random and yeah, and so he goes.

17:35

Yeah, exactly mandatory. And so they this kid goes sir Was I weaving and no what was

17:41

I speeding? No, sir What did I do for you to pull me over and he was like nothing?

17:47

He's like I just doing a mandatory DUI things He's like so you gotta you know, do this test and the guy goes

17:52

I'm not doing it He's like I I'm not doing it. I didn't do anything wrong, right? And so this cops like well if you if you refuse the mandatory

17:59

DUI test if you refuse it Even though he had no cause to give it right if you refuse it He said then you're going to jail and then the kid

18:06

Wow good on him. He said take me to jail He said because I'm gonna win and I'm gonna sue you because what you're gonna find out when you pull my blood is

18:12

I'm not drinking right and so you have no reason to pull me over So, what is that in that case? You're guilty in my eyes

18:19

I presume your guilt and I'm gonna see if I can get evidence that you're innocent now at the airport.

18:25

You're so guilty That you I will wait until I know you're innocent for you to not be guilty.

18:33

Exactly So that's like you're actually going to jail It's unknown what you are

18:40

But because but I'm actually going to assume you're guilty I'm pretty dang sure that you're guilty

18:46

We'll see if we get you out of this feeling in my good Let's see if we can get you out of this which also I'm sorry but that makes any sort of drunk driving statistics like right there just Pulling people off the street.

18:58

Mm -hmm. Potentially people who have not had that much to drink that Police crew pulls over a random line of vehicles on the road

19:08

They said we're gonna block the street up pull you over and they stop your car So you stopped your freedom to travel and they say have you been drinking?

19:17

What a weird question how you doing nice to meet you have you been drinking or they say things like Where have you been tonight?

19:23

Where are you going? That's an odd thing for you to ask me person who has had one drink

19:30

Would say yes, but not a lot. Right, right Have I have I damaged property right have

19:36

I hurt anybody so I haven't done it I haven't even committed a crime Now I get pulled over in the police officer police officer starts asking questions to see if they can prove that I'm innocent

19:45

Because the assumption is you're guilty. Let me see. You're not Right, and so at the airport going through police dog is searching now every person.

19:55

That is a search the dog is Trained to find stuff and he's searching.

20:01

So what is the Fourth Amendment? Illegal search and seizure right? Right. What is that? Now watch this by the way, it's everyone goes in the right place here we aren't arguing as Red -blooded

20:13

Republican American people right? That's not how I'm arguing. I'm arguing as a minister of the gospel

20:19

Who has an eye on Lex Rex? The law is King divine law transcends everything

20:24

Everything right? And so here we have a situation Where you're coming through everyone's getting searched by this dog.

20:33

No witnesses have been brought forward No warrant has been issued the biblical worldview gave rise to the

20:39

Fourth Amendment What's that mean in order to get somebody to be searched to believe the accusation that they're guilty?

20:46

You've got to go before a judge and present Witnesses and evidence that this person is guilty so we can now search them.

20:52

Where's that come from? That comes from Jesus You're welcome secularists. You like the Fourth Amendment you like innocent before proven guilty that comes from Moses That comes from the law of God so this dog now is searching everybody at the airport is coming through security screening and all

21:08

I said very gently to The TSA people who were doing this and to the police officers. I said gentlemen

21:15

I said you should read the Fourth Amendment you swore an oath to it You need to read it and they look at me like real confused and as I'm like walking my way up to get searched by The dog,

21:24

I'm just looking at each one and I'm saying I encourage you just to read the Fourth Amendment I said this is guilty before proven innocent

21:30

This is an illegal search right now because you don't have a warrant to search me And so they were like looking at me all confused like huh?

21:37

I said just just go read the Fourth Amendment Just consider it. So then I get searched by the dog

21:43

We walk past and there's another TSA guy at the end. He looked to be real confused I said, I just wanna encourage you to read the

21:48

Fourth Amendment You you you you gave an oath you work for the government you read the Fourth Amendment And so as I walk away, he he says real loud.

21:57

He says Well, if you don't like us breaking the law don't fly right

22:03

That well, and that's what that's the that's the argument. We've all been hearing which is like, okay fine.

22:09

Don't get stabbed with medicine But you'll just lose social privilege privileges your job your ability to feed and it's like, what do you mean?

22:20

What do you mean? You'll just like what? That's not an argument right like just cuz you say that I'll lose them.

22:26

That's never been like that. It's never been that way But yeah, it's like oh, well if you just don't if you just submit right just if you just submit you'd be flying fine

22:36

Just don't fly sir, we like dogs and padding genitals here if you don't like that Then don't fly.

22:45

Well, the dog read has read the Constitution. Yeah, but he just hates the dogs in the back. He's just Come on, come on smell

22:54

The fact that he said well if you don't like us breaking the law, I know that's what he said

23:00

I know it's one thing if he's like if you don't like us don't fly but to say well if you don't like is breaking Mission Doing something.

23:07

Yeah, he said it, you know all you know sort of pompous and I'm thinking myself Did he really just say that in my family's with me?

23:13

No, she already said I was like, that's insane. Can you imagine? well, I mean isn't that just kind of the

23:20

Foolishness like I need you to recognize my right to break the law right stop. Oh, right and again and again

23:26

See this this what people have to understand This issue is a principled issue.

23:32

It's a fundamental issue Of how you will treat other human beings now if you do it in one case over here

23:39

It means that Constitution that Lex Rex that law Isn't really ruling the land.

23:45

No one really believes it. This is just theater Right. Yeah, right.

23:51

So this like nowadays I believe this I think most politicians today and most of the people who go to to swear an oath to uphold

23:57

Lex Rex the law of the Land, this is the law I believe they it's theater, right because it doesn't matter anymore to anybody why because we live in a humanist society a secular society that doesn't recognize that there's a

24:11

Transcendent law a divine law above the law of the king and the government and everybody else.

24:16

And so why would anybody? Hold to this crazy thing from hundreds of years ago.

24:23

Why does it really matter? Why can't it just be malleable? Why can't we just shape it as time goes along? They don't believe in a transcendent law and so it becomes malleable.

24:30

I can just do with it as I please I don't know what it means. Anyways, I don't believe it I don't believe that it's a standard and so you have people at the airport now treating everybody as guilty until proven innocent and what

24:41

Takes place now when accusations come forth at a public level where let's say for example

24:47

A man is accused of rape publicly just just accusation goes out. You're you rape me

24:53

And then all of a sudden you find out later That the whole country came in on it and said yeah, this guy's a rapist and you find out the woman confesses later

25:00

I lied about the whole thing But everybody said no the accusation was made so therefore it's true Why because we're gonna assume the guilt of everybody and so we could prove your innocence

25:09

That goes into the court system. Look if you don't like any Human being being abused in the court system.

25:16

I'm with you a hundred percent. We need God's law to rule the courts We do we need people like John Jay who will like literally reference the law of God as the transcendent law beneath this

25:25

Case -law in our country. We need that. I don't want minorities persecuted and abused in the court system

25:31

But here's the deal The reason I think that you see all this abuse in the court system is because this law doesn't matter any longer

25:37

It's sort of you know, it's it's it whimsical. Like how do you feel today? And what should this punishment be?

25:42

It's like for example And then we're gonna bring our good friend Zach Lautenschlager in for a good discussion on the spending bill

25:48

So you guys can hear some details about that a couple years ago. I think it was two years ago There was an abortion doctor

25:56

Who pulled a gun? And waved it at our friend

26:01

Elvis who does ministry outside the abortion clinic at a Casey Women's Center in Phoenix So we had the whole thing on videotape and the police officers of Phoenix would not help us

26:11

We had to eventually come to you all and share to everybody what was actually happening. And when we did that within Four hours the

26:20

Phoenix Police Department arrested Dr. Yunus And it was only because we appealed to the public.

26:26

Look we have an abortion doctor pulling a gun on People standing on a public sidewalk outside of his abortion facility.

26:33

Now, what do you think would have happened? Because a week went by with the report in the video to the

26:39

Phoenix Police Department a week went by with zero Anything no movement forward on the case

26:44

Didn't even attempt to make any move forward on the case and we brought Phoenix PD into it

26:49

They even seen the video they refused to move on it until you guys Contacted Phoenix Police and challenged them four hours later.

26:56

Now my next question if you had a video of Jeff Durbin, Luke Pearson, Joy Pulling a gun on an abortion doctor outside an abortion facility.

27:06

What do you think would happen to me? You'd still be in jail How long would that take?

27:14

How long would it take if If People who are outside of abortion facilities preaching the gospel trying to save children pulled a gun on anybody out there

27:23

How long do you think it would take to have us arrested thrown into jail and tried? And how severe do you think the punishment would be?

27:30

I think it'd be fairly severe. I really do. Well, dr. Ronald Yunus Finally received his sentencing yesterday a year later and tell me about it.

27:41

What was it? You probably know more details the full Penalty which again for us would have been far greater.

27:49

I think but I believe it was two years probation classy felony anger management classes

27:58

So, yeah, you know, but the thing is he probably gonna lose his medical right That's good.

28:03

Like that. Well, that's good. Yeah, that's definitely good for sure. But um yeah, so Let's bring

28:10

Zack in. Let's I don't know where I was going with that. But let's go ahead and bring Zack in Yeah, so Zack lounge logger works a lot with a lot of the people at apologia who are doing important work

28:23

He's helped a lot with end abortion now we have this year with end abortion now, we've gotten into numerous states bills of Abolition and equal protection into numerous states.

28:36

We have Texas, Arizona. We helped with the guys who were doing it in, Oklahoma South Carolina, Pennsylvania, we just returned from a rally out there for with a bill of equal protection

28:46

Zack works works a lot with action for life it's a political organization working on the political side of abolishing abortion and Zack is a genius

28:57

He is one of my favorite people to listen to and just let him talk about history And so Zack lounge logger welcome to apology a radio

29:05

Thank you brothers. It's a pleasure to be here You know as we talk about The current injustices before we get into the bill.

29:15

I had to tell you one thing This depriving people of liberty and saying well if you don't like it, you don't have to do

29:21

X You don't fly if you don't like you don't have to go to the grocery store Eventually where that goes and it has happened in America before when

29:28

World War two started President Franklin Delano Roosevelt decided that all the

29:33

Japanese people living on the west coast were a threat and we're talking about we're not talking Just immigrants are talking about Japanese Americans who had been here for generations some of them had been their parents had been born here

29:44

Their grandparents were born here. They were rounded up summarily and locked up in prison camps

29:50

They were moved across the country. There are camps in Utah There are camps in Colorado where they were interned and they spent most of the war there

29:58

While they were there their sons were allowed to join the military and go fight overseas Well, their parents were locked up in a prison camp guarded with machine guns

30:08

And One journalist said he was supporting the internment camps After all, they only are being asked to yield their freedom

30:17

With a straight face. Mm -hmm. It's the same thing. Well, if you don't like it, you can leave Yeah Yeah, it's it's uh, well look

30:27

Okay when we talk about the issues today you hear this being thrown around a lot and it's a good thing that you do hear being Thrown around a lot because it is true.

30:33

What we're suffering under right now is tyranny It's not the worst kind of tyranny yet. It's trying to get there, but tyranny is lawlessness that's the issue lawlessness and Christians believers in Jesus Christ aren't supposed to aren't supposed to love lawlessness

30:50

Accept lawlessness submit to lawlessness if it's sin We have to resist it and God has pretty clearly defined these issues of public justice in his law

31:00

Problem is today. I think most evangelicals in the West don't have any idea what the law of God says

31:05

If you ask them to quote the Ten Commandments from first to tenth they couldn't do it just with the ten much less the case law systems about property rights about Injuring other people and all the rest and so God has defined this and that's the issue here

31:20

You're moving today in the West away from The blessings of God's standards of justice and righteousness in public society.

31:28

You're moving further away from that into this infinitely Malleable system, which is to say it's not a system at all.

31:36

It's just it's it's changing constantly and You know, and I'll sort of lead into this discussion with this

31:44

We've been talking a lot about this lately and you need to know this. Oh, I actually have her here. This is funny I just happen to have pulled it out this book get it get this book get this book do it quickly

31:57

Lex Rex the law and the King or the laws King Samuel Rutherford I think

32:04

Canon. Yeah Canon sells this right? Yeah, can impress get it from can impress or I'm sure they have it on Amazon or whatever

32:11

Samuel Rutherford Westminster Power puncher hitter just solid solid, dude

32:22

This book is amazing and it will take you time to digest digest and reason Rutherford is known for his amazing

32:29

Devotional material and when you see him and when you read him in this book, you will realize he wasn't just into that Yeah, the man was solid

32:37

Sam Rutherford Lex Rex That was the foundation in the historic

32:42

Christian tradition That brought so much goodness to the world face it It did and what

32:48

I was saying was is it's not the king that is the law He's not a law unto himself. He doesn't just get to play God.

32:53

He is not deity It's not whatever the king wants or the ultimate of the government's that's not it

32:59

Lex Rex is the law's King Transcendent divine law is is it is the thing that matters most it's the law is

33:06

King Not the king is law the law is King and so get that that's what we're moving away from Today because we live in a culture in society where people don't believe in the transcendence.

33:15

They don't believe in an ultimate They don't believe Jesus is King And so here you go And I'll just I want to say this kind of thing is so important to saying

33:22

I hope everyone hears me with humility on this truly But it's our fault Okay, and judgment starts at the household of God, right?

33:30

So it's our fault We're in a situation today in a nation that had so much rich Christian heritage and inheritance, right?

33:37

That's what got us all this it wasn't a utopia. No one's arguing for utopia, but it was good

33:42

It was it was it was the Great Commission on its way up, right?

33:48

I mean, that's how the world goes These fits and starts of like great blessing and light and freedom and Liberty and gospel and and salvation and it's you know, and that's what we have.

33:59

We we came from there and It's our fault

34:07

It's the fault of pastors in the pulpits, it's the it's the fault of cowards in the pulpits

34:13

It's the fault of men leading churches who want to live comfortably and they want to live

34:21

Safely it's people who will not do What say the Apostles and leaders of the early church church in the book of Acts and that's become enemy number one

34:30

Right and take a beating for Jesus and not be liked by people We live in this generation of Instagram and tick -tock and it's quick fast snippets

34:39

And do you like me and am I beautiful and you know, are we friends and like I want everyone to just love me

34:44

And love my message. It's like Jesus says woe to you when all people speak well of you Woe to you when all people speak well of you We've got now behind us a generation of cowardly pastors and Christian leaders

34:54

Not all of them. Not all not everybody but cowardly pastors and Christian leaders who didn't do squat and They separated from the world and they said yeah,

35:05

I guess I don't really need to say that Jesus has something to say about public morality. I mean Jesus doesn't have anything to say about morality

35:10

Does he know not public morality? No, Jesus only has stuff to say to us here in this little huddle in the church

35:15

He does he could care less about Injustice in the world all around the church.

35:20

Is that really the God of the Bible? I mean seriously Do you read the Bible say from cover to cover and see nothing in there about God's concern about justice in the public realm in?

35:31

The public square do you see nothing or do you see actually it's weighted To a direction of some might say that's obscene.

35:38

God seems Completely concerned always concerned about justice and righteousness, which is by the way, although also why

35:44

Jesus died Publicly on a tree as a criminal because of all of our sin and injustice and unrighteousness

35:50

God is supremely concerned with justice and righteousness so much so that God and the person of Christ had to come and die for the sins of his people because We are so unrighteous and unjust and we live in a day now where the generation of believers before us

36:03

I love you and Jesus loves you, but you handed us this you

36:10

Did this of course people are responsible for their own sin and they're gonna be judged for it

36:15

But the Christian Church was called by Jesus to be light and salt to the world So what happened because you say well

36:21

Well, you know in some countries you walk into a place where it's just a bunch of tribes never heard of Jesus before Is that really the Christians fault that they're so pagan?

36:28

Well, no, that's not what we're talking about here Is it we're talking about a nation that was grounded in Christian truth and the gospel and the biblical worldview

36:36

We had those blessings in that inheritance and guess what? We PP did all the way

36:43

There's the there's the sanitized minister version of that. We did. I mean this last generation

36:49

We've just said no We know Jesus isn't concerned with any of that stuff And so we'll just sit here in our holy huddles and just wait for the rapture

36:54

And guess what now your kids are paying for it. Your grandkids are paying for it. You're paying for it

36:59

Your private your friends who own private businesses, they're paying for it. They're losing They're being stolen from.

37:06

Do you think Jesus cares if people are stolen from? Something to think about. Do you think

37:11

Jesus cares if people are stolen from? I say he does which is why the Christian Church has something to say to the federal government when it goes off into complete covetousness and theft

37:22

Because Jesus cares about that kind of sin and since he's the ruler of the kings of the earth

37:28

Book of Revelation and since he's the king of kings today and Lord of lords today He has something to say about it, and he uses his people to speak against it and you didn't

37:38

When I say you I'm saying collectively generally the last generation or two of evangelicals Just sort of stepped away from the public life and didn't speak into this stuff

37:45

Didn't speak in the area of media didn't speak in the air of legislation We just stepped away from it and guess what now you've got

37:51

Biden and Pelosi and these demons Who are just now trying to get their ultimate wish list and that's where we bring

37:59

Zach in You know in when you have Christmas list like for example if if One of you was like, hey

38:06

Jeff. I want to buy you a great Christmas present. I love you so much Bananas put yeah

38:12

Put it put it all put it all in this this wish list Give me your best as much as you guys would say give me your best.

38:19

I want to get you something special What is the natural thing to do for a person when they say hey, just pick whatever you want

38:25

We're just like I don't want to punish this person, right? You know, so you're just like I'll pick something, you know, kind of what

38:30

I want, but not like not my top middle I'm not gonna abuse Lincoln joy. They want to bless me.

38:36

I'm not gonna abuse them I'm not gonna give you my ultimate wish list this three point five trillion dollar spending bill is like they're uber wish list

38:44

It's like the worst of the worst of socialism. It's the worst It's like it's the it's their Christmas wish of their dreams where they were unfettered

38:52

They were just like I will get everything that I want and I will completely

38:59

Annihilate annihilate the foundations of this nation. Yep. That's what it is. It's it's not just a budget bill spending bill

39:06

It's an annihilation of our way of life. It's a destruction of our neighbors and Zach.

39:12

I need you to help me with it What is going on with this spending bill? Sure, so there are really two parts, right?

39:18

There's the so -called infrastructure bill which goes to things that we would more consider to be normal spending

39:23

However, it's it's still 1 .2 trillion dollars Which is an outrageous amount of money and we're talking about spending on many things that people have accepted would be normal Spending for the federal government, but you're spending, you know, three or three two billion dollars on the

39:38

Banking Committee 726 billion on health labor education and pensions committee 20 billion on Indian Affairs 25 billion for the

39:50

Small Business Committee So even in the so -called the more reasonable infrastructure bill you're talking about Outrageous amounts of spending

39:58

But that's not the bad part No That's only 1 .2

40:06

trillion and just wrap your mind around how much 1 .2 trillion is you can spend

40:12

Hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars right and that you're not even getting there So Now the problem is that Biden also wants a 3 .5

40:23

trillion spending bill and this is also so stuff which includes 3 billion dollars and 3 .5

40:30

trillion in spending it includes 3 billion in tree equity Train trying to figure out what what is tree equity?

40:38

What is What are we doing with tree equity Yeah, hugging is studying.

40:44

You don't really know. I mean maybe we're planting some trees. That's good Is this a federal so the federal government should be doing?

40:50

How about 79 billion dollars for the IRS just for the IRS so they can step up their tax enforcement.

40:58

Mm -hmm Think about the nightmare of them being having even more staff to paw through your your tax return

41:04

I'm gonna tax you more so I can pay to tax you more. Right? Yes Immense spending for components the

41:13

Green New Deal, which is just absolute Killing burdens on businesses on jobs on agriculture on the very backbone of what makes

41:23

America great social safety net programs There's 3 billion earmarked by the

41:31

House Agriculture Committee, which we do all that state local or tribal governments for that's the tree planting increase the tree canopy so to speak so it's

41:39

The amount of stuff that's here. We can look at others There's 7 billion the United States Postal Service to purchase electric delivery vehicles

41:48

Because it's not that the gas ones don't work. It's that we need the electric ones that don't work as well

41:53

In order to work another 5 billion for more electric cars for the federal government

42:00

Union members Special treatment so Mm -hmm a trillion in programs for older Americans 15 million for technical assistance centers.

42:13

I mean you go on and on it It's a wish list. Yeah, it's This program this dream wish list of leftist socialist programs, but it would undermine you know everything that is ultimately good and righteous and What's what's interesting here?

42:31

Is that the way that this has been? the narrative in the media Zach is that The main thing that the

42:39

Biden administration wants to do is it wants to build back better? It wants to build back better and what they mean by that is

42:46

They want everyone to fully submit to The dark parts of their own hearts and that's covet their neighbors goods

42:55

And so I couldn't believe recently when we were actually coming out to meet you Luke and I I think

43:01

I think I told you I was watching it as it was live I couldn't believe the first 10 minutes of this speech from the president from President Biden was was all about Isn't it terrible that all these people who are successful have all this stuff we need to get their stuff from them because you deserve their stuff and I thought to myself my jaw was

43:22

I was in the airport like I was just going What just happened what just happened that we live in a country?

43:28

We live in a country where if you had said that 300 years ago in a Christian community Hey guys, this guy's really successful.

43:36

You guys want to take his stuff everyone and say you need to go to church friend Like, you know, what do you mean?

43:42

You want to take his stuff? You want his stuff for you? And now we have the the leader of this nation

43:48

Saying, you know, you guys should all want their stuff. Isn't it? Not fair that they have stuff Don't you want some of their stuff and it's like this is covetousness on stilts and it's theft

43:59

Because what happens is covetousness naturally lends towards theft because when you want your neighbors stuff

44:06

Not just that they inspire you with their success that's good to have inspiration for success That's how things get better But you want their stuff what ends up happening is that theft starts to take place because you want their stuff so badly

44:18

You'll you'll go to any means to take their stuff, right? Yep. So Zach, let's talk about that I want to talk about the moral foundations.

44:25

Why is this so broken? Well what Biden is saying and what's so appalling he's telling the

44:30

American public this isn't gonna cost the taxpayer anything This will not cost you anything.

44:36

It's all gonna come from the rich people. Yeah, meanwhile Barry I mean and even that that's that is that's appalling even in itself because what we're saying is that well because you're rich The government should charge you more to pay for all these outrageous things.

44:49

That is simply theft Legalized and having the police do it. Mm -hmm.

44:54

Now, I'm not I do not agree with those who say that taxation is always theft Okay, there is an appropriate level of taxation agreed for appropriate things

45:02

The number of things that I think are appropriate Compared to the number of things compared to none and then compared to how many we have

45:10

Well, I'm fairly close to agreeing that almost all the time in America taxation is theft.

45:15

Mm -hmm Yeah, it is because you are you are intentionally taking more money for people who make more in order to redistribute

45:23

Yep. Mm -hmm. You're sad is wrong. Yeah, it's a moral. That's the issue, right?

45:28

So that's the key thing and speaking to these things brothers and sisters Why don't you just talk about the gospel? I am

45:33

I Am right. I am yes, because it's the gospel of the kingdom and watch this

45:39

How do you preach the gospel in the public square without talking about sin?

45:46

Right. I mean, what did Jesus die for because of sin? And so how do you speak about the gospel in this modern context with all this sin all out there?

45:56

And it's just being just just tossed upon all of your neighbors that you're supposed to love by the way How do you talk about the gospel without talking about these sins?

46:05

Because as soon as is why did Jesus die? Well, he died because of the covetousness that Biden is promoting

46:11

Correct, right. That's why that's right He died me he died because there would be Sin is so embedded in the human heart that human beings would actually think it appropriate to oppress their neighbor to take their things at the end of a barrel of a gun

46:25

And well, and yeah, right and a big part of the problem here is that we are literally cutting our noses off When we say well, we're just gonna tax the rich and that's not gonna cause any problems

46:36

Now what we're really doing a large part of we're doing here is taxing the means of production. You're taxing businesses.

46:42

You're taxing industry You are taxing The source of your job and so it absolutely comes right back on your own head

46:51

This is this destroys jobs, this is how it kills jobs off Right and and then what's our response?

47:00

Oh, well, let's let's Pass an even bigger spending bill in order to send people more money in the mail so that they don't have to work

47:07

And so that even when there are jobs, we can't get enough people to fill them. Yep. Yeah, exactly It's so broken that I sympathize with my friends who say it's all one grand conspiracy to destroy the country

47:17

Well, are there people who are trying to destroy the country? Sure. Absolutely. There are always evil people but there's also the darkness of our own hearts and our own sin and The fact that God gives us over to strong delusions when we when we submit to those that that kind of darkness communism and Marxism is radical rebellion against the

47:37

Lord Jesus Christ and his law and What happens when we submit to Marxism when we start following it and say well

47:44

You end up with spending bills like this which at the same time Destroy jobs and then destroy the ability to to get or want a job.

47:52

Mm -hmm And let's just be honest you guys speak to this to just everything that Zack is saying if you were the parent of a young adult say 21 years old who was living their life with the economic principles of our modern -day

48:12

Government you would be challenging them stop and Rethink your life and what you're doing.

48:20

You can't live your life economically like this you can't just keep spending spending spending spending spending and Taking taking taking taking taking you are not being responsible and you're going to destroy yourself

48:32

We are so far in debt right now We are so far in debt right now with fake money And by the way,

48:38

God does have stuff in his law about real money And it that's that's sure that's an aspect of God's law in terms of having real money

48:47

You talk about inflation going on right now You know what honestly brothers and sisters if we just followed God's law and his economic principles

48:53

We wouldn't be in the situation we're in right now. We're in it right now because we print fiat currency We've moved away from real money and we spend ourselves into debt debt debt debt debt and you know what?

49:03

When you see it like a guy who is just sort of on a wild spending spree

49:09

Maybe he's made he's coming to a little bit of money, right? He's got some money he's buying cars and mansions and he's throwing parties wild parties with you know

49:18

The most expensive champagne. He's just constantly spending spending spending spending spending. He's just buying debt debt debt debt debt debt eventually, you know

49:26

The way this world works Because he's got no money coming in he's spending it all and putting himself in debt

49:32

Eventually that house is coming crashing down It's an inevitable Conclusion right?

49:38

It's not an if it's always a when if you live a life of sinful economic choices

49:43

Prepare to reap the benefits of that it will come and if we as a nation are sinning against God with how we spend our money

49:53

Eventually, it comes crashing down and everyone's like, you know what? You know what? So this is what I think is so sinful about it

49:59

This this this is the point because we have kids now lots of them and Here's what

50:05

I think is so sinful about it. Is it the way everyone thinks in our world today? Without a love for God without a love for his law and love for the generation after you is that everyone just simply says today

50:16

Yeah, this might not be that great of an idea. And yeah heck of it's it's it's a lot of debt which means slavery Let's just pass it on to the kids

50:24

Like let's just I like free monies Let's just put it down here because here's the thing It would be really bad for us right now.

50:30

If all this collapsed on our heads, like it's inevitable. It's going to so Why don't we do this?

50:35

Let's raise the debt ceiling Let's see if we can just push this debt off to the kids a little bit more

50:42

Because we'll just have them deal with it. Like maybe they'll find a solution to it You know, here's the point if you put somebody like if you put a country like 50 trillion dollars into debt

50:52

You're not getting out of it. You're not getting out of it with these principles. No way and here's the deal Why am

50:57

I so passionate about this? Because I have kids and I have grandkids now and they're saddled with this and I say love for them

51:05

Demands that we speak against this stuff and love for my common neighbor also demands that we speak against this stuff because you cannot promote

51:13

Covetousness and theft and hatred and sexual immorality in a nation

51:18

You can't come you can't promote all that and you can't do it without consequence It's gonna hurt and it's gonna hurt bad

51:25

Well, let's be honest the people that are pushing this aren't having kids So it's our kids right and our grandkids and our great -grandkids that they're pushing

51:36

Well, there's a tremendous opportunity that too because as this falls apart right as as things begin to be more and more unsustainable and just for for Comparison just so you can kind of get an idea

51:50

I haven't looked the last couple days and it changes daily, but it's Last time

51:55

I looked it was 25 % of the entire national debt for the entire history of our country was incurred in the last year one quarter of 200 years

52:06

Yes in one year 200 years in one year Wow Yes, if that that that needs to stretch your thinking a little bit it is an unbelievable amount and they change, you know

52:16

It continues to change But that's you can't spend trillions.

52:21

We don't understand what trains mean It doesn't the word really doesn't mean anything. It's hard. It's hard to understand.

52:26

What does that word even mean? It means massive amounts of money that you do not have so but what's the opportunity, right?

52:38

Eventually the reality is people who are willing to work and make stuff are going to take over The opportunity to actually produce things of value and to be able to do things to provide services

52:51

Those don't go away and The knowledge that hey we can there's all this technology.

52:59

There are all these aids There's all this benefit that we used to have that are just out of reach or getting to be out of reach now

53:04

The more creative we are the more opportunity that we're willing to work hard and take advantage of opportunities

53:11

Now that the children if we train our children not to enjoy the fruits But to make them to build them to provide those services,

53:21

I believe that there's going to be increased opportunity Just the demographic side of it.

53:26

There's some great studies out there on Right now if you if you're 18 years old and you don't have a job, it's because you don't want one

53:34

There are so many jobs available right now And that's that only continues to grow even with there aren't jobs people still need the stuff

53:44

They still need the services if we're creative enough and have the mindset to do it ourselves

53:50

Yeah No, thank you brother

54:01

Yeah, there was one quote. I wanted to give you to have a minute. Yeah So the 18th speaker of the

54:08

United States House of Representatives and I went to school with Daniel Webster He was a US senator from Massachusetts for a couple of years

54:16

He was his name is Robert Charles Winthrop He is the descendant of John Winthrop one of the

54:21

Puritans and who came to America and settled Jamestown Robert Charles Winthrop when he was

54:28

Speaker of the House in the 1840s Said this men in a word must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them

54:37

Or by a power without them either by the Word of God Or by the strong arm of man either by the

54:44

Bible or by the bayonet. Mm -hmm And so if we are willing to be self -governed by the law of God, which means governed by God's law enforced on ourselves

54:57

There is freedom and that what does the Bible tells us over and over and over again where the

55:03

Spirit of the Lord is There's freedom when we might people perish for lack of vision, which means lack of understanding when

55:09

God's law is So this is nothing new. This is not anything that the the entire

55:15

Reformation The the thing that drove it was the need to overcome How do we what do you do about tyranny the level of tyranny that says you can't teach your children the

55:25

Lord's Prayer if we Do will burn you at the stake. Mm -hmm. That's what was going on right after John Wycliffe There were so many ignorant people that they couldn't just print

55:35

Bibles. They couldn't just write them They had to send people out to read them to the people because the people couldn't read Mm -hmm.

55:41

That's the level of ignorance and an oppression that there was and that's why it witless followers were called the lollards because they were like The weeds that was they what the the church called them

55:49

They were the weeds at the tears among the among the the faithful because they won why were they the weeds because they were reading the

55:56

Word of God to the people and instead of allowing the The Pope is church to interpret it for them and so that drive to overcome tyranny is why we have a

56:10

Why people started saying wait a minute? What does the Bible say? How do you deal with this? It's where the solace came from from my perspective and it's not to put a secular overlay

56:18

But it's to say those are the real -life problems that gave birth to saying. Well, what does the

56:23

Word of God say about this? How do we how do you fix this problem? And I believe that training our children To understand that is such a huge part of what we're doing and I so appreciate what your brothers do

56:33

Thank you so much for thank you brother Thank you for coming on today. We'll talk to you soon I'm probably see you soon too, right brother looking forward to it.

56:41

Okay. Thank you so much Zach All right, everyone. That's Zach Lautenschlager our good friend.

56:47

It's always awesome. Just to just sit with Zach and just let him talk That's one of my favorite things as long as he doesn't talk about that one thing

56:58

It happens from time to time it's always the time he's good It's always about five to ten minutes of really intense

57:04

You know very serious and then all of a sudden just big smiles and high -fives and like, okay, let's do something more important now

57:11

Speaking of tyranny, is this real? Is this video? I think this is real dude. Is this real?

57:16

I've been hearing can somebody in the thread who's watching right now. Tell me if this is actually real I'm gonna play it and I'm not saying it's real.

57:23

I'm saying if this is real, this is crazy Here we go

57:28

Today the call has gone out to everyone in home quarantine in Victoria to take part of our

57:34

Pilot program and what that means is that they will receive random phone calls and they have to answer

57:41

Within five minutes with a selfie sent to this app, which will then geo track

57:47

Where that person is and to make sure that they are who they say they are as well

57:52

If they don't answer within that five minute period that's when health officers come knocking Pete It's okay.

58:00

I'm pretty sure that's real life here and stuff like that It's not far from China, I mean

58:07

That China has Australia Who's gone? I mean Australia we I mean if you don't like it

58:14

Just don't live in Australia potentially where you've lived for your whole life and your family lived for your whole life

58:19

You don't like is breaking the law where you own your home where your job is. Just don't live there. Mmm That's how it goes.

58:26

I love Australia. We've been to Australia several times So many great so many great believers out there

58:34

Praying for you guys We've been getting messages from our Australian brothers and sisters who are talking about how much they're suffering and how they're working together now to try

58:40

To speak prophetically against all the stuff happening in Australia. So we're we're praying for you guys. We love you guys We miss you.

58:45

We'd love to be able to come. We'd love really to go anywhere in the world Like I mean, I think we're like everything's shut down like I mean, it's like, you know

58:52

Are we ever gonna be able to go to Ireland or the Republic of Ireland or Scotland again?

58:58

With all the crazy stuff that's happening With the mandates and those sorts of things. So man some crazy stuff happening and man so fast.

59:06

That's a thing Well, and I just I do this is a little unrelated, but I do wonder what people think

59:12

Is going to happen like international with international travel? When no one has a job and the government pays all your bills

59:21

Like What do people think I'm legitimately want to know what people think is gonna happen to that like what do they think is gonna happen to restaurants and Flying to different places to have different experiences and you won't because you won't be able to afford those things cuz no

59:41

Because well, that's just here's what we'll do We'll just send our itemized statements directly to Jeff Bezos and he'll just pay it right

59:51

Exactly We'll take all from him because he's so successful Wow, yeah, I just read he like gave some billions of dollars to some climate change

01:00:01

Initiative, but everyone's still so mad that he has so much It doesn't matter

01:00:08

That's the thing is so amazing is all these people to make all this money You know they can give and give and give and give and give and bless and bless and bless and provide jobs and Healthcare and all these different things to the people because of what they've created and yeah it's never enough because that dark heart of every human being who doesn't know

01:00:26

Jesus is is Sold out towards these violations of God's law. We want to be jealous of our neighbor.

01:00:33

We want to be envious We enjoy it. We like to gossip. It feels good to gossip.

01:00:39

It feels so good to slander another person You know, we love to entertain lust and we love to entertain our covetousness

01:00:46

And so it doesn't matter how much somebody gives it's still not gonna solve the problem with the heart that wants what you have

01:00:52

And the only way to solve that is you have to have a new heart You gotta you gotta have God remove your heart of stone give your heart of flesh

01:00:58

You have God create in you a genuine love for another person so that you learn to as a believer suppress

01:01:05

Those thoughts like when you when as a believer when you see another person super successful Maybe having something that you don't have

01:01:15

Like as a believer when your mind starts going towards like jealousy like I want I don't know

01:01:20

I didn't have that how come that didn't happen for me as a believer like sanctification starts going on where you start realizing like this

01:01:26

Is it a gift from the hand of God? God does what he wills with his own creation and if God's blessing this person

01:01:32

I need to praise God for his blessings in this person's life Like you have to learn to sort of like thwart all those

01:01:37

Sort of fleshly desires of like wanting their stuff or being jealous or like, you know Lying about the person

01:01:45

So the only way the world gets better is through Christ God's grace and new hearts and new minds that like Resist the temptation to be jealous of a sister or brother and how

01:01:55

God is blessing them Like I think in a world that is transformed by the gospel Everyone respects one another's property.

01:02:02

Everybody loves their neighbor That's what they're working towards and everybody celebrates somebody's successes.

01:02:08

Yeah, like, you know, you know, I think is great I think is wonderful is when you go into like a killer restaurant

01:02:15

Right. It's like it's got the best decor and like they're they're waiters and waitresses are all like on it

01:02:22

And they're just so professional and kind and they have the best food and everything else Like that's something you like this guy who had this restaurant this girl who started this restaurant

01:02:29

They are really successful and maybe they're making you know a billion dollars a year through this restaurant

01:02:35

You know franchise or whatever like it feels like everyone should sort of be like good for you Right.

01:02:40

Well done good for you. You did a fantastic job. I understand that there's a cause and effect there

01:02:46

Yeah, I think that we're kind of maybe missing a lot of the discipline required To be the things that we want to be right

01:02:54

We think that we should just be able to watch tik -tok and Netflix for eight hours a day And then how come

01:03:00

I'm not like Jeff Bezos like where you're wiping the Cheeto dust off your lips Like why don't I have

01:03:05

Jeff Bezos cars? And yeah, it's just kind of it's like laziness.

01:03:10

It's just like fat lazy Yep culture we just like we

01:03:15

Have we're given all this abundance by God's law Mm -hmm, and then we just like ate our way into not being able to follow any law, but our own

01:03:26

Yeah, just it was just gluttony. Why time just I just want it. I just want what I want Mm -hmm.

01:03:31

I don't want to have to do the work to do it Because I can just take it. Exactly. You know, that's that's the generation we live in and it seems like it does it doesn't it seem like if people can like Sort of hold back there and resist the sinful tendencies of humanity that we all have to grapple with especially outside of Christ If you can just hold back for a second and like just sort of bird's -eye view look at like everything and go

01:03:54

Hey, isn't it great to have these really nice restaurants? Isn't it great to be able to just go down the street to this very successful grocery store?

01:04:00

You know and people love talking about how great socialism is when they're eating steak and talking on their iPhone

01:04:09

It's like don't you think it's great that all these people had like, you know ownership with their own ideas and their own private property

01:04:15

Oh, they made it super successful thing. I heard recently private property ownership is a construct of Capitalism.

01:04:25

Mm -hmm. Yeah Yeah, you'll figure Nobody ever nobody historically ever thought they owned anything before capitalism.

01:04:35

Yeah, that was That capitalism created that one.

01:04:41

Yeah. Well, it's a principle of private property Yeah, and that goes all that that's that's amazing too is like when you have because it's two opposing world

01:04:50

You have a worldview that says like God is creator human beings are unique They should be respected and treasured and protected and you don't lie about your neighbor.

01:04:57

Don't come in adultery Don't try to take their stuff all that when you have that worldview that says like God is concerned with private property

01:05:03

Don't you dare take somebody's things like for example, right? It's as simple as this. You should not steal

01:05:08

What's the presupposition there that people own things? Mm -hmm, and it doesn't belong to you

01:05:14

Yeah, it's theirs. So you should not steal in the law of God is It's not just about taking some take to don't take that thing.

01:05:21

It's it's there's stuff underneath it that there's assumptions of This is theirs and it doesn't belong to me

01:05:28

Like we've lost all that now But like that benefit of the biblical worldview and divine transcendent law that says you should not steal meaning that joy stuff is joy stuff

01:05:37

My stuff is my stuff and Luke stuff is Luke stuff and I don't have any right to his stuff because why it's his it

01:05:44

Doesn't belong to me. We live in a world now. We're like, yeah, but is it really immoral? I Really hard maybe even for years to produce this thing and to create this product and to have this house and like yeah

01:06:00

Her family lives there and all that stuff. But you know what? I really like how successful she is and you know what?

01:06:06

I'm sitting here for like nine hours watching tick -tock And I got nothing going on for me but she seems like her she seems like her all her kids bellies are full and she's got nice cars and nice house and She's I can have her stuff.

01:06:20

It's like no one respects like the rule of God's law Like no, it doesn't belong to you. If you if you want that Then you work for it and you earn it and you'd be disciplined and you'd be self -controlled

01:06:33

That's not to say everyone's situation is the same and of course the Christian Church We all believe in loving neighbor and charity.

01:06:40

We love taking care of the poor I mean who does it better than the Christian Church not the government. We do it the best

01:06:46

We do it in a way that's free without coercion and all the rest And we do it with real love for our neighbors with a principled position as we go through that You know if you have a world that respects private property and your neighbor's things and everybody's allowed to flourish within their area

01:07:03

It blesses neighbor it creates wealth and it also creates wealth that's able to be distributed ready without coercion

01:07:10

Freely because if joy is super successful and this thing that she develops at home Creates like a business and it's going out and it's super successful now

01:07:19

She has an excess amount of money and she says you know what? I want to give a million dollars away to this situation over there

01:07:26

I'm gonna help this guy start his business and I'm gonna give him a million dollar just gifts not even a loan

01:07:31

She's gonna let's say you start the business of your dreams And then guess what when she's super successful Her family successful all that wealth passes now down on to the next generation of her kids and then they get to develop things

01:07:43

So when you have a world that respects the simple law of God you shall not steal and that's a respected private property

01:07:49

It establishes wealth in the world What is what what does the heart seem to be and I'm gonna end it on this

01:07:57

What's the heart of our nation seem to be right now? It's it's it's so obvious think about it

01:08:02

We've got the president United States of America bragging on his covetousness and trying to make you want it like Can you believe they're so successful don't you want their stuff like that's coming from the leader of the country, right?

01:08:15

So like there's that and then you go. Is there any spillage from this garbage coming out of this devil's mouth?

01:08:21

Yeah, there seems to be spillage like for example Just do a look at small smattering look at videos of stuff going on in Chicago and other cities across our nation right now

01:08:30

We're literally the communities are walking into huge franchises and businesses and they're walking in what are they doing?

01:08:37

They're literally taking what they want and walking right out the door and it's happening in droves

01:08:43

And it's happening so much that these employees are like we can't do anything about it. There's nothing we can do We're being told don't do anything

01:08:49

And so it creates a culture of people are saying you guys create and give it to me And so they're saying

01:08:55

I'm allowed to walk into the store this franchise and just take why not? Because target has so much money. Anyways, right?

01:09:01

They're so successful. They don't mind if I take about $10 ,000 worth of product Well, there's like 60 people behind you that are doing the same and that's not sustainable because guess what as soon as your community buys

01:09:11

Into covetousness and theft and starts like rioting and looting and stealing Target ain't opening up in your neighborhood again, and neither is

01:09:19

Walmart or any other store that has their wits about them They're not putting it into your neighborhood because what do they say? These people are covetous covetous thieves.

01:09:27

I'm not building something in their area I'm not gonna let them steal from me. And so it's like you it's like this.

01:09:32

It's this Self -destruction of human sin that propensity towards like I want what

01:09:38

I want I'm gonna go with my loss and you don't realize the consequences which gets right back circle back Saki to the beginning of this show of Stupidity doesn't work.

01:09:49

Foolishness doesn't work. Sin is going to have a reward Righteousness has a reward and sin has a reward you want the one not the other like right when this doesn't look like a curse

01:10:02

Exactly Righteousness in the culture has a reward We've all experienced that this nation is testimony to that right?

01:10:09

Not all of us can even feel what they had 200 years ago But we still have some of it hanging on a thread but sin also has a reward and that reward is coming

01:10:16

America I'm not a prophet. I'm not the son of a prophet people love to say that but it's true sin is

01:10:22

Will not work stupidity won't work and this stuff is going to come crashing down. Yep. It will it'll come crashing down and the only thing

01:10:30

That stands in the way God's means of stopping this avalanche of sin and destruction consequence

01:10:37

The only thing standing in the way is the Church of Jesus Christ It's his people. It's us.

01:10:43

It's us speaking prophetically against it It's us giving God's gospel and God's law to the culture around about us

01:10:50

It's us being salt and light and stop letting that just be a pithy slogan because you're all experiencing this right now

01:10:56

I don't know how many men that I've heard from even in my own shirts have lost their jobs now because of this cookie mandate

01:11:03

I'm gonna say cookie because if I say anything else, it's gonna get suppressed and People who are losing businesses because all this now and I know it's probably affecting you who are in the hearing of my voice right

01:11:13

Now we've got people in the military. We're happening right now across branches FBI DEA Navy SEALs all the

01:11:20

ATF even the ATF Who are suffering under this and their believers and they're trying to resist this

01:11:27

You have to speak against this because it's going to destroy you and your kids your families

01:11:34

It's gonna it's gonna hurt like, you know, people say I'll just you know, preach the gospel I am Because I'm calling out sin and I'm saying the only solution is

01:11:41

Jesus Christ and faith in him turn from your sin in your wicked Ways and your covetousness and you're lying and you're stealing and all the rest and I'm saying that to the very top

01:11:48

You can also say the gospel to the government and that's what Christians have forgotten is that the gospel is also for those in government and we've stopped telling it to them and guess what happens when you

01:11:59

Sort of slide the church out of the way get the church out of the way of the avalanche all of it just Over everything wipes everything out and that's what we're feeling right now

01:12:08

So I'm wondering who are the men and women that God is gonna raise up to finally start fighting and say something, right?

01:12:15

I mean, we're not heroes, but we're doing our best. We're doing our best Where are the other heroes and the fighters who would just simply say

01:12:21

I don't care about respectability I don't care about people liking me. I don't care about people liking my message I'm gonna tell the truth.

01:12:27

I'm gonna tell the truth Because God commands me to so any last words

01:12:35

No, please don't let us become Australia Sorry Australians, we love you, but we don't want you or Canada for that matter.

01:12:44

Oh my goodness gracious I mean goodness I mean we could do another show just talking all the stuff in the last week like ministers being told or you need to make sure that people come in with a vaccine card to worship and pastors being

01:12:58
