Super Bowl Ad says, "He Gets Us", but who do they say "He" is? | Ep. 4

The Gospel Must Not Be Left Out of a Gospel Campaign

The big takeaway is gospel preachers need to know what the gospel is. If you're going to spend $7 million on a gospel campaign and leave the entire gospel out, you're not an evangelist, but you're up to something, right?

And this clearly has an agenda, and it's to undermine biblical morality. It's to make everything gray as if there's no standard of right and wrong. And to say, hey, we're going to push that aside as if irrelevant.

You don't need to call people to repentance from homosexuality or baby murder or any of these things, but you're going to preach the gospel as if there is no call to repentance.

Okay, welcome to Tearing Down High Places. My name is Average Joe. I've got Pastor Tim on my right, and I got Pastor Jeff on my left. Welcome to our podcast, and we're going to talk about the culture again.

Actually, I had an error before. I had said confronting Christian compromise, but on the website, it's rebuking Christian compromise. But the big part of it was, again, what? In love. In love. In love, right.

So we're going to keep that focused because somebody might think we're a little harsh today.

Okay, yeah. We don't even know what we're going to say yet, so you might think that everything's wrong. Well, it's true.

It's true. It's true. So we're going to talk today about a controversy. There was two controversies that we want to address, and probably going to have time just for one today. The one we're probably not going to get to is a bill in New Jersey that, before next week, if we talk about it next week, you probably want to watch the podcast, I mean the sermon.

That you did this Sunday. I brought it up at the beginning of the sermon. That was about the Freedom to Read Act. The Freedom to Read Act. Quote unquote, freedom to read. Really, it's freedom to distribute obscene materials to minors.

Yeah.

Yeah. And to have absolutely no standards whatsoever.

Well, it would give immunity or exemption to librarians and teachers if they give out material that could otherwise be considered obscene. If that was given out on the street, that person might get arrested, but in school they're exempt from that.

Right.

So we're going to get into that. Insane. And we've invited some influential people in the culture to come out. We don't know if they'll be able to next week, but the invitations are out there and we can tell you more about that.

Well, we're in District 7 here for New Jersey, and this is a New Jersey law. So we invited the people who are actually either pushing it as sponsors of the bill or likely to support it, and our people have been calling, asking them not to do that.

So we'd like to hear the other side. What does Proverbs 18, 17 say? One man seems right until another comes to examine him, and we never want to be afraid of that cross-examination. Right. We need to be able to stand for everything that we've taught.

And we believe debate is a good word. It is. But it should be sprinkled with grace, you know, as they say in 1 Peter 3, 15, what's it say? Do this with gentleness and respect.

That's the one I get. I have so much trouble with that. You know, I was just reading Bondage of the Will. By the way, Martin Luther's book, Bondage of the Will is so good. It is worth any Christian getting and reading.

But one of the things he does in there is he takes Erasmus to task for using such vague language. Really? Just like, yeah, like absolutely obfuscating points rather than just saying clearly what he means.

Erasmus would always find a way to, this could be read like this, or it could be taken like that. And I think that's what we're going to see in the next point here. Not so much the freedom to read. Maybe that applies there too, but this next issue we're about to address.

Vagueness. Vagueness. Just intentionally using words that, plausible deniability. You know, Erasmus was the king of that.

Isn't that the amazing thing about Jesus, when he speaks, he speaks with clarity, but people still don't hear what he's saying. It's true. Yeah. All right. So, yeah. So the big issue that we're going to hit this week, though, that was kind of a tease for next week.

The He Gets Us Campaign and the Missing Gospel

The big issue this week is the He Gets Us campaign that came out this weekend at the Super Bowl. Right. And since you watched the Super Bowl, what did you think of the He Gets Us campaign?

I was not a fan of it. I think behind it is kind of like big evangelicalism. I think it's Steve Green of Hobby Lobby. And Museum of the Bible is a great resource for Christianity, although I'd be a little more suspicious now, seeing what this was all about.

Ed Stetzer is big in the production of this He Gets Us. So you're going to see some of that. He was part of the church growth movement and still is, trying to do anything to make Christianity more palatable and appealing.

But does that come with compromise? I think we'll see that it does.

Gotcha. Tim, did you send any money to this $7 million campaign? No, I wouldn't. No. I wouldn't support it either. All right. Just so everybody's clear where we stand, I think we're pretty clear what we're going to talk about.

But we're going to try to be fair and see where we can be generous, right? Right. So why don't we watch it? Here we go. And then, there it is, foot washing. Parts is, I thought my speakers were broken at the end.

Oh, with that... Yeah. I've got to fix my speakers. That was edgy, though. It was edgy. It was edgy. What's your initial thoughts, guys?

I think we have a classic gentle Jesus, meek and mild situation, where we look at Jesus as this non-judgmental person, and as if he wasn't the Son of God who's going to come back and judge the world one day.

You know, Jesus, he cleansed the temple and put out a cord and a whip and whipped people. I think in John chapter 2, it says,. Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing.

But Jesus, on his part, did not entrust himself to them because he knew all people, and indeed, no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man. So Jesus knew what was in man, and he knows that there's sin in man.

And I think this commercial is like, as if Jesus or people are going to wash feet and they're going to go, and Jesus is going to go conform to how they think and how they believe, but when Jesus was living, he didn't conform to what they believed.

He called people to repent, and we should change. Yeah, we should be the ones changing and conforming to how Jesus is, not Jesus conforming to how we are. I saw Samuel Say, who's a great author, slow to write.

He posted on Facebook or something that it looks like the message here is that Jesus worships man rather than man worships Jesus. Yeah, that might be true.

I'm glad you brought up John 2 because I've gotten pushback from people when I've said to them that the very first thing that Jesus does in the Gospels to announce his presence is cleanse the temple. In the wedding at Cana, right here at the beginning of chapter 2, he's like, hey, it's not my time yet.

Just relax. Mom, come on. I know you want me to just relax. It'll happen. And then he goes, the next thing he does, boom, cleanses the temple. Now, other people say, well, no, he did other miracles before that because they're looking at the synoptic Gospels.

But I'm like, that's first because the sequence is important, right?

Well, he could have done it twice as well. What do you mean? Like he could have cleansed the temple two different times, right? He could have cleansed it right now. No, he already did cleanse it twice.

I think it was beginning and ending of his ministry. $7 million, you said? Yeah.

$7 million, right? They'll probably still take a donation if you want.

Here's my first biggest thought when I watch that, right? $7 million, Super Bowl, largest audience in the world, and your goal is to preach the Gospel. Yeah. And they missed every element of the content of the Gospel.

Yeah. Who is Christ? The person of Christ. His deity, who he is, that he's the Messiah, son of God, none of that was said, the person of Christ. The work of Christ, that he died on a cross, was buried, and rose on the third day.

1 Corinthians 15, 3, I deliver to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died. Where is the message of the cross? For our sins, in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried and that he was raised on the third day.

What about the resurrection? Could we have talked about that? In accordance with the Scripture, and that he appeared. On and on. Forgiveness of sin, eternal life, and then I think what's so glaringly missing, because it seems kind of opposite to what they're trying to say, is the element of repentance.

Right. That someone has to put their faith in Christ, which is to repent of sin. Yeah. In order to be forgiven and to gain eternal life. These elements of the Gospel are completely missing. That was my first thought.

Yeah. Where was the Gospel? If you just spent $7 million and tried to present Christ and you missed all of the Gospel. Yeah. The biggest need is the Gospel. The biggest need isn't to wash people's feet.

Yeah.

Right. So maybe if we focus on, and we take, maybe we should take a look at these photos that came from the video and see, do we see repentance or forgiveness? I think there's probably, I mean, if we're charitable.

Yeah. There's probably forgiveness, there's just no repentance. Right. Probably right. What about this first slide here? It looks like maybe a family. Right. So maybe it's a son.

Maybe a son had been rebellious and now instead he's going to be loving toward his dad. Yeah. So, I mean. This one might be the best one out of all of them. Yeah.

In charity, the son may have just repented, we just don't see it. Sure. Right. That's possible. Let's go to the second one. Now this is a little more suspect. We've got a police officer.

What are you talking about? It's plausible deniability. There's nothing suspicious or nothing to see here, Joe.

Well, I just look at the alley and I'm, you know, I mean, what's the cop doing in the alley? Now the cop. What's he doing? What's the cop doing? The cop has his own shoes off too.

So maybe the cop got his feet washed.

So they're washing each other's feet. But there's an issue here, right?

Okay. The role of a cop in uniform is to not bear the sword in vain. Romans 13. You had to bring up Romans 13. Isn't that his role? That is his role. What's he doing down there washing the guy's feet?

I don't know. He should lose his pension or something. I don't know. All right. Let's see.

He's got a mod haircut too. Maybe he likes the alleys. I don't know. How about this one? We've got, let's say, look at a high school or something. They got the sports stuff in the back.

You got the popular girl probably washing the feet.

Oh, thank you, Tim. I didn't need you for that. I didn't get this.

Maybe a possible LGBTQ supporter or outcast of a high school. Are you seeing some of that oppressor oppressed? That's what I'm seeing the last couple. Yeah, the policeman washing maybe the gang member's feet.

I don't know. A little cultural Marxism. Cultural Marxism. They got everything in here. All right. This one's interesting. The Indians. American Indian. There's one of the oppressed. I think you hit the nail on the head there, Tim.

It's the oppressor construct.

What's he got around his neck? I mean, that just lets us know he's an Indian, right? Yeah.

He's got the beads and stuff. And I guess he is. They could both be Indians, though. I don't know. He's out there with the tumbleweed and the stereotypical place of a reservation. He's got cowboy boots.

They both have cowboy boots. Maybe it's the cowboy washing the Indians' feet.

Here's the one that really sets the teeth on edge. It does something. All right, so we've got a family planning clinic. The father eats sour grapes. The children's teeth are set on edge. Which means they kill babies in there.

Yeah. Right.

Just being clear. They kill babies. It's not a coincidence that it's a young lady. Oh, yeah.

A younger lady. Got the tattoo on the leg. Wearing some overalls. Maybe she's pregnant. Covered up some weight. And then over here we've got some protesters with some signs. What do they say? Save the unborn and save the blind.

I can't really read that. Probably choose life. I can't see it.

I like that group over there. That's a nice group. Yeah, yeah. So Rusty Thomas just got arrested this week, or last week, for standing in front of abortion clinics preaching the gospel. He's in jail in this country because they say he blocked the access point.

Oh, yeah. But he's been out there preaching the gospel. He and others who stand in front of abortion clinics and preach the gospel are doing a loving thing. They're pleading with people so that they don't do something atrocious.

They're begging people not to murder their baby, and they're preaching the good news of Jesus Christ, forgiveness of sin, eternal life. Now, Jeff, you've been to abortion clinics. When you go there, where is the hate coming from when you're there?

Oh, I've never seen Christians at an abortion clinic being hateful toward anybody. No, I've never seen it either. I've never seen it, and I've been out there dozens and dozens of times. What I have seen, and I think you've probably seen, is that people are hating the Christians that are out there.

Oh, yeah. They'll strike them in the face all the time. So Juan Riesco in Chicago does Love Life. He was just assaulted last week. Like I said, Rusty Thomas arrested. They'll get spat on, punched, hit, accosted weekly.

It's a normal occurrence. They don't do anything but love, and they're offering to help in many cases. Love Life loves to say, hey, what do you need? We're going to help you with it.

So all these pictures, I mean, our lens has been tainted by the phrase at the end that says Jesus didn't teach hate, because they're implying that a lot of us Christians are preaching hate. Right. All right, so let's go back to being charitable about this photo.

How could this possibly be a good photo? I mean, it wouldn't be.

Well, look, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, who were clearly believing, and he washed the feet of Judas before Judas went off to betray him. So he's offering salvation to anyone. So charitably, you could say, hey, this lady, she's trying to be loving, and maybe it's implied Jesus didn't preach hate.

So that group over there, they're probably haters in this scenario. But, hey, we're going to be a loving.

If I didn't see the hate thing, I could say, well, maybe she said, hey, come get your feet washed, and we'll talk about saving your baby. Yeah. That could be going on. I mean, just, it could be. Let's go to the next one, see what we got here.

This is interesting. This one's interesting. So now we've got somebody who's struggling in a kitchen. If it's their kitchen, it's probably their booze bottles that are all empty and look like they're freshly empty.

So everything's a mess, and it's kind of like disorder. Yeah. But there's not judgment there. The person is being compassionate. It seems like the lady on the right is kind of responsible for this mess.

So isn't hate and judgment the thing that the gray or blue church would misunderstand, and they would conflate these ideas of hate and judgment as being the same, but they're very different. Right. I mean, and judgment, we use judgment to help people, to help people out of their mess.

And the loving thing is not to say to this person, it's fine to sit in this mess. And this picture's a mess.

Right? Stop judging by mere appearances and make a right judgment. Right. Jesus says to judge, but there's a difference between being judgmental, which is some kind of hypocritical, false standard, and also where the person himself is masking what's really going on on the inside, versus a right judgment, where to make right judgments.

What's going on in this picture? So you have the lady who's struggling, and it looks like a younger lady is there, not maybe a daughter or something, not to beat her down, but to try to lift her up, try to wash her feet.

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, let's check out the next one. You got any more? All right, here we go. We've got a bus and a woman with a baby. Okay. We've got, I don't know what this is.

It looks like this lady could be possibly an illegal immigrant with her trash bags or a homeless person. Okay.

Maybe, possibly. Her clothes are a little dirty and tarnished. The other woman to the right, who's doing the washing, is very clean and looks like she might be.

I'm just looking at them getting on the bus. Why do they have all their stuff as if they're moving? I don't know. Bottles of water. Yeah. Well, if Tim's right about the oppressor, oppressed thing going on, the immigrant is one of the victim classes.

You've already seen the Native American. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Victim, victimology. Here we go. What they were doing in front of the bus, though, I have no idea. Trying to stop the bus or I don't know. So this is against hate.

It was stopping the deportation, maybe, of getting on the bus. I don't know. Maybe, maybe. Because they're in front of the bus, making sure it doesn't move. Right.

That's my guess. So, I mean, I guess the pushback is, you know, we love our neighbors, but, I mean, we're not through hate. I mean, if they weren't saying Jesus doesn't hate. Because, honestly, Jesus does hate.

He hates sin. Yeah. You know, and he does want us to stop sinning. Yeah. And to repent. Not that any of us expect perfection or that we're going to sin less.

John 14, 6. I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Right. If you believe that, that means Jesus is the only way. Now, in this picture, this might be another relativism thing, where I think, in our culture, that's a Muslim lady sitting on the...

Oh, of course. So, I think, you know, washing the feet of a Muslim lady, I think all this is... So, over against hate... Yeah. Islamophobia is what's being... Exactly. But I have a friend who evangelizes with, and did evangelize with David Wood and Nabeel Qureshi before Nabeel died.

They would go to Dearborn, Michigan. And they'd preach the gospel, you know, and all... There was this Muslim stand where they debated. When the Muslims didn't like how it was going, they picked the pastor up, carried him, and physically threw him over a wall.

Wow. And then David Wood and Nabeel got arrested for preaching the gospel, no other reason. The hate in this culture is not from Christians toward Muslim people because all we're offering is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

And the doctrine, and the difference between Jesus and Muhammad is light versus darkness.

It's love versus... But the Muslims love Jesus. The edge of the sword. They brought a full surah about Jesus and a surah about Mary. It's just, it's not the Jesus of the Bible. Right. Again, this is not the Jesus of the Bible either, right?

Yeah, and also looking at Jesus as if he's only a good teacher. I mean, that's how Muslims view him. He was a teacher and a prophet, but not believing that Jesus is the son of God and he died on the cross and rose from the dead.

Yeah. Rose from the dead bodily. That's going to keep you out of heaven. Right. So they're missing the gospel. Yeah, and in Surah 4, I think it's 157, they say, It is supposed that Jesus was crucified, but really they crucified him not.

So what do they say about Jesus? He wasn't crucified. And then they say,. And don't say Trinity. Desist. It will go better for you if you don't say Trinity. So the point of that Surah 4 is a denial of the message of Jesus Christ.

What does this lady need? Jesus. Yeah, and the message of the cross. Right. Not her feet washed. Yeah. Like who in a Western society like this wants to stop on somebody's lawn and get their feet washed?

That would be weird and awkward.

It's nothing. It's not gospel. There's no good news here. Well, the big deal in the old society, in the agrarian society in ancient Israel was the fact that the roads were full of dust. Yeah. Coming into the house,.

The servant would wash the feet. We're all wearing Nikes here. And you'd sit and recline at table. It wouldn't be like your feet under a table. You'd be sitting with your feet forward towards one another.

And the washing of feet was culturally relevant there. And thus, obviously, it's a picture then of serving and we're to serve one another. But there's no service here without gospel. Yeah. And I think of the story of the paralytic man that he came through the roof.

His few friends brought him through the roof. When Jesus met him, everyone was expecting that he would heal his legs. But Jesus healed his deepest need, which was he needed his sins forgiven. These people need to repent and have their sins forgiven.

They don't need their feet washed. Right. Amen.

I need my sins forgiven. I don't need my feet washed. That's for sure. How about this picture? We've got some protesters. Oh, look at this one. This binds up our show next week, right? Ban censorship.

Stop censorship. Freedom to read. Freedom to read. Shut them up. That's what it says. And they're yelling down at each other. And in the middle of that, we've got two people. One's washing the other's foot.

And she had said silence hate because that's her sign. She just sat down. Yeah. What was our verse?

The righteous know their God, stand firm and take action. Do you know? Joe, did you work on it? I even know that it talks about covenant in the first part. But I will say, but the people who know their God will stand firm and take action.

And this is kind of saying don't stand firm for anything. Don't take any action. Right. Don't stand firm. Wouldn't you say that's kind of what this is? Yeah. We're putting the cart before the horse. That's the whole idea here.

And then too, I took this quote out of their website because it's very hard to find anything substantial in the website about what they meant when they said the hate part. Just like Erasmus. You don't quite know what he's saying.

You don't know what they're saying. Intentionally so. And it is intentional because they say here, his teachings suggest, him being Jesus, that he wanted us to consider our intentions and do the work to act from a place of empathy.

Was Jesus' primary goal here to be empathetic?

Didn't Tim just read that Jesus knew what was in a man and he did not entrust himself to them? Empathy is the opposite of that. He understood what was in them and so did not entrust. So he, rather than putting himself in their shoes and feeling and acting as if he were, he were responsible for sin, he sees their sin and he recognizes it for what it is.

Wow. It's the opposite of empathy.

Yeah. And isn't that, isn't that the summary of these arguments that they're making that they're just arbitrary, they're not based on any kind of fact, completely just pulled out of the sky and inconsistent.

Even this picture is inconsistent because they, I don't, I don't see, I think they're both on the same side. These two.

Yeah. Those two are on the same side. I don't see any difference in the signs. That's what it looks like with this one. They're tired of all the shouting, you know, the angry side versus angry side and both sides are just yelling at each other but they've chosen a different way.

And these two guys look like they're on the same side. Yeah, all of them. I think that's what they're communicating, you know. Yeah? Yeah, this is the, I guess, a racial thing, which is good, you know, people coming together but I thought that was kind of already resolved.

Yeah. All right, here, this one's, this one's got some.

Cultural significance, let's call it. So we got a priest. Again, the priest has his shoes off too so there's some joint foot wash and expect, there's some expectation of, I'm getting mine after you get yours.

Is that? Okay, first of all,.

You call him a priest and if you look under his beard you can see the collar. The white collar, yeah. Yeah. So again, he gets us funded by supposed Ed Stetzer evangelicals don't understand the difference between the Roman Catholic sacramental non-gospel and the Evangelion, the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is by grace alone, through faith alone.

What this man offers if he wears that collar is the teachings of Rome, which is a different gospel, Galatians 1, 6 to 9. Right, right. More ecumenicalism. Yeah. So... And we haven't even got to the eye-popping...

We didn't get to that. I hope this isn't too much of a judgment, but I think most people would look at the other man with the orange hat as homosexual. Right. Or some sort of... Feminine, at a minimum.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, feminine as in... He's got his... The shorts are ridiculous, right?

His legs are shaved. He's wearing weird overall... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's going for that. That's clearly the intention of that. We're not blind. Okay. Alright, so there were worse photos, though? You're saying?

No, I think that was...

That was the worst one. That was it. Yeah, to me, the abortion one was such a slander of those who preach the gospel. Yeah. And the... Contrast that they set up at the end. Jesus didn't preach hate. Jesus washed feet.

They're clearly attacking those who preach the gospel and try to rescue babies and overtly labeling us as haters for doing that. So they spent their $7 million to attack gospel preachers and included zero of the actual gospel in their video.

I don't know if you've noticed this, but on social media...

Are you on social media much? So I noticed on social media they have people who would be on the left criticizing the Christians who funded this. How dare you spend $7 on... I mean $7 million when you could have been feeding the poor with that money.

So how many times, Pastor, do you try to pander... That's the social justice lawyers do because they're Marxists. Right, but even the great church would pander to the left, to the blue, and try to appease them.

But they never get the feedback that they're looking for or the accolades that they desire.

Yeah, because it's a bottomless pit. There's no forgiveness in the social justice movement. It's only activism. Activism is core. The anti-racist movement is always pushing... If it's a Hegelian dialectic, right?

Thesis, antithesis, synthesis. You move it left. What do you do once you get here? That becomes your new thesis. You create the antithesis of anti-racism. Try to move the needle for the new synthesis.

And you're just progressive. There is no end until you reach the complete overthrow of Western civilization. So they're never going to be happy. Once they get you to capitulate on something, that's just the starting point.

For the next movement left. I think that points to our show next week if we get into this freedom to read Act next week. And I encourage everybody to read the bill. In that bill, they keep pointing to the libraries and the schools needing to have diverse materials that will satisfy everyone in the culture.

But you pointed out the Hegelian dialectic. Who knows what diverse is going to mean 50 years from now? Right, yeah. Right? It's so vague. Again, now this vagueness because we don't believe in any kind of objective truth.

We have vagueness everywhere. What does that do to our freedom? What does that do to our safety? And a lot of times, we look at freedom and safety as being two opposite sides of the coin. But it's both now.

Both are destroyed with vagueness. Absolutely. Just the idea of diversity as a value itself. That makes no sense. Diversity just means lots of different. But what's the value of the thing? So truth is a value.

Love is a value.

There's something. There's some substance there. Diversity means different. Hitler was different from Stalin. Do we want diversity? Like, okay, so we need both. We need both Hitler and Stalin. It makes no sense.

Diversity can't be. Neither can inclusion. So diversity, equity, inclusion. Is inclusion itself a good value? You want to include pedophilia? Do you want to include polygamy?

No, no, no. Diversity in skill sets within an organization can have value. But diversity in skill sets in pilots that fly airplanes? I want to know which one's the good pilot. Or a heart surgeon. You're going for the best.

I don't want diversity there. So I just need some clarity. Well, I'm looking forward to next week. I mean, this is, you know, we mentioned at the beginning of the show that we invited some folks. I don't know if they're going to show up.

The odds are, well, you never know. If the Lord wills it. So I guess, you got any other closing thoughts on this?

The Missing Gospel in the Super Bowl Ad

We'll close out this. Yeah, what's the big takeaway, Jeff, from this, what we're talking about? The big takeaway is gospel preachers need to know what the gospel is. If you're going to spend $7 million on a gospel campaign and leave the entire gospel out, you're not an evangelist.

But you're up to something, right? And this clearly has an agenda. And it's to undermine biblical morality. It's to make everything gray, as if there's no standard of right and wrong. And to say, hey, we're going to push that aside as if irrelevant.

You don't need to call people to repentance from homosexuality or baby murder or any of these things. But you're going to preach the gospel as if there is no call to repentance. And that is a complete capitulation.

That is, it's a surrender. Paul in Galatians 1, 6 -9 would anathematize that he gets this campaign. Paul also talks about, I think it's Philippians, where he's happy that, you know, some people preach the gospel on a selfish gain, but he's happy that it's being preached.

We can't even be happy that it's being preached because it's not being preached. There's no gospel. There's no gospel. Those in Philippians were doing it from wrong motive. They were still preaching Christ, Him crucified and risen, but they were doing it to stir up more trouble for Paul while he's in jail, maybe to get him executed by raising the temperature in Rome.

And here there just is no gospel. There's a Roman Catholic washing feet without any message of the death, burial,.

And resurrection of Jesus. So that's how I'd sum it up. The gray church, and you know, if you're listening to this and you don't know exactly what we're talking about when we're saying gray church, red church, blue church, read Blood Red Church.

Pastor Jeff wrote it. Get it on Amazon. And it defines three sections of the culture within Christendom, within the church. There are red churches, there are blue churches, and this gray church in the middle is really what they're.

That was a perfect example of a gray church attempt to preach the gospel. And we love the gray church people. They love Jesus. That's why we're doing this. We want to disciple toward the truth. Right.

The blood of Christ. And we want them to be bold with the truth. Don't be, don't hide the truth. Until next time. Here we go. You don't have to catch me. Here we come. If you see a brother down. If you see a brother down.

Pick him up. What is it? If you see a brother down. Lift him up. Lift him up. If you see a high place, tear it down. Tear it down!
