Yup…More Woke-plosions

Greetings, welcome to the fourth dividing line of the week. Don't worry. We're not doing one tomorrow. Lord willing I will. I will be just wrapping up a marathon study session on bike tomorrow about now.

So you you will be free for the weekend. Before we go to our immediate topic. I just saw this come across Twitter. Bill de Blasio from New York City Quote. I assure you if a if an NYPD officer calls you or shows up at your door to ask about something you did.

That makes people think twice and we need that I Think that has an educating impact on people. I think that has a sobering impact that we need. Isn't this the guy that was defending the police last summer and Now he's saying that They should be used To frighten people into behaving properly.

Because people are reporting them big brother is gonna send his agents to have a little talk with you. If you do not do everything a big brother tells you to do. I just I keep trying to tell people 1984 was not meant to be a manual of A perfect society.

It seems that some people read that and go this sounds really cool. As long as I can be the guy who you know is one of the elites. You know and everybody else gets to be the little scum people down there on the bottom of the thing anyway.

So sometime this morning before noon friend of mine sent me this This tweet and I Confess I'm a little it's it starts out. It's sort of like when you someone like over They get a little bit overzealous in their Complimenting you or talking about what you've done and things like that.

But mine is the first name mentioned here and and given the other two names. It's attached to I'm not sure how I I Leapt to the to the front of this line. But someone as as deeply respected for her long term I mean the the the deep scholarly work that she's been doing in her books and speaking for for literally decades.

Jory Micah ma Christian doctrine slaps church history a Jory Micah Says if the FBI comes knocking at my door looking for Christian leaders radicalizing young men to hate I'm pointing them to James White John MacArthur and Doug Wilson who are you pointing the FBI to?

So there you go I I Would imagine most Most Christians are Probably going well, I'm I'm actually not really interested in talking to the FBI. The the FBI really doesn't have any any role in my theological Argumentation but There you go that's the day we live in and That has been illustrated Very very well by what has taken place since the Atlanta area shootings earlier in the week and Let's just you would think by now we would have learned this lesson, but learning lessons isn't what anything's about anymore neither you nor I have anywhere near enough facts to be Speculating Coming to conclusions anything else It could literally be months down the road before you would actually get all the facts that need to be had to have a Fair and meaningful conversation, but we we left the fair and meaningful realm a long long time ago long long time ago.

And that's that's a sad reality. Instead whenever you have any kind of Situation that can be twisted into a support for the narrative. That's what the left does and so yesterday When news came out that The suspect who is in custody Was a member of a Baptist Church now, this is Atlanta and While the percentage of the population That is a member of a Bible-believing church is indeed decreasing in the Atlanta area.

It's still not the most unusual thing this this isn't the Northeast yet. This isn't the Northwest. So The first thing I started seeing Was when someone By name of Robert P Jones who is about as woke as woke can be I wrote a book called too long white and So he's You know full-on neo-marxist CRT Woke as as the day is long and He put out a a tweet that all of a sudden all these other people started grabbing hold of so I think he was selected to Try the ground first and Then everybody jumped on to that to make it look like it was you know this this big thing.

But he put out a tweet that said not incidental Atlanta murderer Atlanta murder suspects SBC Church belongs to founders ministry group That claims white fragility is pro-racism Calls critical race theory godless and materialistic ideologies equates women preaching with abuse so It didn't take long for people to start grabbing hold of that.

The Robertson Jones and Anthony Bradley Narrative About the SBC Church

So, let me show you for example Anthony Bradley who Has radically changed in the past 11 years. That's for sure But especially like so many I mean, I I didn't pull it up, but I've someone posted a series of Kyle James Howard tweets from 2013 Basically saying why is race have to be about everything and there's not enough evidence to to convict that guy and that of that well Everything he wouldn't say today, but yeah things have things have changed a lot.

But dr. Anthony B Bradley Requotes Robert P Jones's tweet now, let me let's let's leave that up there. So people because that gives you Jones's tweet to Belongs to founders ministry group. How do you how do you become a part of that?

Um you you Give the name of your church to founders and say yeah, we we think that the founders of the SBC were primarily reformed and Like what y 'all are doing about that. I mean that that's a that's what founders was about initially there aren't any to my knowledge any tests Or anything else that goes along with that it's just.

They have a website and if a church says hey we're gonna be consistent with where these guys are coming from as far as holding to At least something a line along the lines of the abstract of theology something that specifically indicates a reformed Comprehension of the gospel.

That's what it's about. So the Atlanta murder suspects SBC Church belongs to founders ministry group that claims and then they'll they take just In other words founders Tom Askell Jared Longshore you'll notice they have begun an organization to deal with These cultural issues it includes Votie Balcombe and Tom was very important in raising the funds for Votie's heart surgery and things like that.

And so you take these snippets so white fragility is pro-racism, which is true. It's a true statement the whole the whole white fragility argument. Could not survive three seconds in cross-examination.

It's irrational illogical circular in all of its reasoning there's no question about that and that's why you don't hear debates on it because the people taking that position know that they will have to spin in circles and As long as they run up against someone who knows how to demonstrate that and there are a few of us that can.

They'll collapse instantly. Calls critical race theory godless and materialistic ideologies once again fully defensible. I'm easily defended in any type of meaningful exchange, which they do not allow these types of people are not concerned about that.

They know they have the media in their pocket. And so they can make whatever claims they want knowing they will never have to defend them in any meaningful context whatsoever. And equates women preaching with abuse, which I would assume has something to do with their stand against egalitarianism and They were involved in sponsoring the the debate that took place on that subject before coronavirus.

I think I think it was the summer before coronavirus as I recall. So what you do is you take the buzz the buzzwords and Because you're not you're not concerned about the truthfulness of what you're saying.

You're just trying to create the emotional Switch in the minds of people that this group is a bunch of bad white supremacist Ku Klux Klan members and You know, you can't prove it. You don't care about slandering the slander is the lifeblood of the left today and.

So you just throw it out there, but you know, you'll notice I've seen zero data. Zero data was the shooter In services the last Sunday. Has he been attending this church regularly? I mean everything I've seen was from like six years ago when he was in the youth group.

Maybe he was. I don't know. But what does that have to do with anything let's let's turn this around for just a second which you're not allowed to do. You're not allowed to do this but Right now the number of people being shot each week and killed in Chicago is it is on the low end.

Why. Because it's stinking cold in Chicago, okay. Gang members do not want to be out in their gangbanger a t-shirts when it's 12 degrees Fahrenheit, but that wind comes off the lake and it's like 30 degrees below zero so People actually get a bit of a break.

I think there was only five people killed last week which for Chicago. That's that's that's awesome. But we know that Chicago is a war zone and we know it's black-on-black violence primarily. These just facts can't can't argue with them.

No one talks about it. No one cares. During the summer a Weekend with only eight people killed would be a vacation. For the Chicago Police Department just nope, it's like wow what happened who sprayed the chill-out spray all across the city.

But Would it not be logical? To assume that many of the gang members who are involved in gangbanging in Chicago grew up in black churches. And would it not be logical that many of those black that almost all of those black churches in Chicago present CRT Are based upon acceptance of James Cone and that whole Radical perspective.

So that means that proves something right in in in Robert P Jones's world. Logically that should prove something right that we could we could draw connections to all sorts of to murder after murder after murder after murder.

Because they went to those churches right they may not go now, but they did when they were younger right just like this kid, right. But you're not allowed to do that because no one's actually seriously Saying I can actually prove cause and effect or I can actually demonstrate that there's a meaningful connection I can actually demonstrate that arguing Against critical theory and demonstrating what its history is about and what its real intentions are.

Somehow has to do with sex addiction sex addiction for a 21 year old. Who decides to remove areas of temptation near him? Which we all know is insane. That's that's not that's not going to change Anything and in fact, I read one story it said he was Arrested on his way to Florida where he may have been doing planning to do more of it.

What? There is. It is insulting to the human mind to rationality to logic to even suggest That there is a meaningful connection here that there is something in the teachings of founders or this church I think it's called crabapple something which again, it's It's Georgia.

That there is either of these organizations teach anything That would in any way be logically construed as Giving permission to someone to do these things. Anymore then well In fact, I could make a I will I can I will be able to make because of one of the articles I'm gonna read here.

I will be able to make a very strong argument That CRT when it's woke is and when it's applied does Inculcate violence. It does in fact since you pulled that down I will Look at an article by Damon Young in very smart brothers the root comm major Journalistic source Writes an article whiteness is a pandemic.

Whiteness is a pandemic. This is a black man. I don't have much to add here today. That hasn't already been said. Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancy. It pollutes air it constricts equilibrium.

It devastates forests. It melts ice caps. It sparks and funds wars. It flattens dialects. It infect infests Consciousnesses and it kills people white people and people who are not white my mom included there will be people who die in 2050 because of white supremacy induced decisions from 1850.

A Line can and should be drawn from the actions of the white supremacist who walked into three Atlanta area massage parlors yesterday. How do you know he's a white supremacist? Because he did something evil and All evil in this world now in these people's minds is the result of white supremacy.

They can't tell you what it is. It's this vague something. But it's white supremacy. It's the big evil and so he's a white supremacist because he did something bad and when black guys kill Asian guys, remember the guy that ran across the street and Flattened that poor little Asian man.

He died. He wasn't white. He was black and So he was forced to do that by white supremacy. Even though he's black so black people can be forced to do evil things like killing each other by white supremacy.

White supremacy is all-powerful. Evidently it can force people to do stuff. Six of whom were of Asian descent to the relentless anti-asian rhetoric pollinating national discourse over the past year.

So in other words, that's Trump's fault. The former president even though the police by the way said they have no evidence. There was any racial motivation at all but hey the former president and the party the former president can and should be blamed for this and The sudden increase of racist violence against Asian Americans, even if it's not done by whites.

It's not what he said, but that's the reality. The line doesn't stop there though. It extends back 400 years and has tentacles clawing everywhere white supremacy exists here in America. Which is everywhere everywhere.

It's it's this white supremacy is omnipresent. It's omnipotent omnipresent. It's everywhere and it's behind the devil made me do it. It's the new devil. Yeah, that's what it is. There's a line connecting this act of terror to the 11 people killed the Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018 and the nine people killed At Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 2015, by the way, you'll notice there won't be anything at all.

About any unarmed white person that's been killed. There won't be anything about any Asian people have been killed by black people and there'll be nothing about any black people killed by black People.

No, no. No, it's very very specific because of the narrative cannot survive the fact. The narrative can't survive the numbers of the facts. So you have to be very very careful. Yeah. But also to gentrification.

Okay. So now now what you do is you need to get all of your woke. Talking points in at once so here they here they come. But also to gentrification to redlining to racial profiling to gerrymandering to voter oppression to mass incarceration to the war on drugs to the subprime mortgage mortgage mortgage crisis.

To the vast disparities in both kovat deaths and who receives kovat vaccinations. To how the men and women who stormed the Capitol just went home and had dinner with their families afterward. While we were still processing recovering from what we witnessed they were on already back.

They were on already back on their couches. I think there's a typo. They're watching criminal minds. Then here you go. Here's the last program. White supremacy is a virus that like other viruses will not die.

Until there are no bodies left for it to infect. Which means the only way to stop it is to locate it isolate it extract it and kill it. I guess a vaccine could work too, but we've had 400 years to develop one so I won't hold my breath now in the old world Where human beings were responsible as human beings because they were human beings in the old world where you held a white man a black man Asian man of Hispanic man.

Whatever to the same standard of What racism is supposed to mean this man is a black supremacist racist? Very clearly. This is irresponsible, it's absurd it is ethnocentric. It is the type of rhetoric.

That was very common post-civil war in the South but this is accepted and celebrated and this is the result of CRT, this is the result of the entire woke movement and the fact that last summer if you didn't say black lives matter you were canceled and every major corporation had to open their pocketbooks and Send billions of dollars to black lives matter who did nothing with it other than enriching leftist causes and getting Joe Biden elected.

They didn't go to Chicago and save any black lives because they don't they don't believe any of that stuff. Nobody on the left believes their rhetoric. Come on, they don't believe it if you're some Liberal white person that actually really believes this stuff being used.

You were used back in the in the 50s and 60s in Eastern Europe and you're being used again. You're being used again. Whiteness is a pandemic. There you go. Damon Young. So, yeah, so Anthony Bradley jumps in After Robert Jones's initial shot and he says again CRT is Not the threat SBC leaders should be worried about so not don't worry about what's actually causing this stuff.

Don't worry about. You know the fact that this violence in the black community has to do with family Disintegration and and stuff like that, which black leaders have been saying forever in a day. But now don't worry about this critical theory stuff this neo-marxism that divides and creates intersectionality, you know.

No, no, no, no. It's the anti CRT gang gang. Using the faux CRT hysteria, so there's nothing to see. Don't look at the leaders of the military. Who are more concerned about promoting critical race theory and LGBTQ?

RSTU V plus stuff in the military rather than dealing with China and And dealing with what's going to be coming from that direction. Don't don't worry about that. Don't worry about what's happening in the universities.

Don't worry about the end of religious freedom the end of the freedom of speech. Don't worry about critical gender theory forcing 200-pound boys onto your girls volleyball team. No, that that's all faux hysteria.

There's nothing there. Here's a man who's done a 180. This was not him ten years ago the same with the BD and the others just 180 and it's not because of Anything externally it's because the acceptance of the narrative.

Using the faux CRT hysteria to mask ready their Jim Crow era evangelicalism. Jim Crow era evangelicalism. So as we're gonna see We have folks who are literally Preaching that if you are a black Christian, you should leave Your church and go to a black church only.

Self segregation. That's not coming from us. That's not coming from Hispanics. That's not coming from Asians. That's coming from the black community. So who's doing the Jim Crow thing to mask their Jim Crow era Evangelicalism the same one that they called MLK a communist the discipleship crisis is their errant gospel understanding that last few sentences.

Sound like he ran out of space or was typing on a phone or something and you end up with who knows what? But the discipleship crisis is their errant gospel understanding. So if you have proper gospel understanding CRT is good.

CRT is a proper and useful tool. That's where Anthony Bradley is now. He has completely Completely reversed himself as to where he once was and then the plot thickens the plot thickens isn't an interesting Anthony Bradley and Jamar Tisby Both retweeted the same tweet.

So the plot thickens. Jamar Tisby head of the witness author of a number of books one of the leading voices now of the leave loud movement, which is a movement Encouraging black Christians to leave multi-ethnic churches self segregate divide.

Self segregate. That's what they're saying. Go go listen to. It's all our fault. Of course, it's anyone who doesn't buy their their narrative. So we'll talk about that in a moment, but the plot thickens.

The suspects church is a member of the founders ministry network see below for description. See below for description. Yeah that Absurd and and Jamar knows this. Jamar is a smart man he knows that Robert P Jones's description is Ridiculously dishonest, but I listened to Jamar's own thing on the witness from last week and He was desperately dishonest and the things he said in that as well.

So the narrative Allows for ninth commandment violations right left and center because that's just the ninth commandment. The first commandment is the narrative so See below for description description of what?

Listen what's going on in churches around racism and sexism are A harbingers should be harbinger of what's happening or will happen in the rest of society. We ignore at our own risk and so founders ministries is responsible.

Now no logical or rational person would make that assertion. But logic and rationality is just that that is not something that is relevant to those pushing the narrative the narrative of intersectionality the narrative of Non-biblically defined racism so you can blame anybody and so the plot thicken.

So Jamar joins in with the slander and this is slander. Robert P. Jones is guilty of slander. Jamar Tisby is guilty of slander. Anthony Bradley is guilty of slander. It's all slander in the biblical sense of that term.

It is there's no question about that none whatsoever. There's no way they could ever defend it. But there you have it Jamar jumps in on and I'm sure there are others I bet if I had taken the time to go to and I did at one point but I didn't start going down the down the thing I Could have found all sorts of other folks all sorts of other folks That chimed in on the Robert P. Jones, especially after they retweeted it.

I'm sure I would be interested in. How many comments there are just on that one on that one tweet? Be huge now as I mentioned last week Jamar Tisby went on The Witness and gave his testimony Of leaving Leaving loud and I came up a couple times.

Specifically What I was mentioned in was The comments that I made after the election in 2016, which by the way, I did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016. But everybody was commenting on the fact that he had said That he did not feel safe worshiping With white people the Sunday after the election remember that and so once again as I think any responsible Christian minister would have to When you have someone presenting a theology That grounds the unity of the church in something other than the person of Jesus Christ when someone when you have someone introducing racism racial Disparities into the body the way that he was.

You have to respond to that you have to you have to say this is an error and here's why and that's we did. I Remember I had two black brothers call in and they did so on their own as I recall I do not think I asked them to call it.

They called in on their own and Joined in the criticism of this idea, but the narrative is From the witness right now, which used to be called Ron the reformed african-american network. And then in 2016 right after that they changed their name and got rid of reform because they're not reformed anymore.

They no longer find in God's sovereignty and Soteriology and Relationship to the Trinity and Christ. No, that's not their thing anymore. Their thing now is equity social justice race and so it's probably best they did change your name as far as actually that is that's concerned, but in 2016 when That took place He says by the way That that was first time he had heard about me now all sorts of other people have been commenting on it.

I was not the only one who did. He blames it almost all completely on me because I did that he was he was just buried and he Started to twitch every time he'd open up his phone and you know all the rest of this kind of stuff and it's it's all my fault.

Though there are lots of people who had commented before me. Like I said, I had brothers who commented on the program who called in and He said his first time he'd ever heard about me, which is not true.

That was the same year about Four months earlier five months earlier That the young man with the sagging pants flipping off the cops thing happened on Facebook where my forward-facing video camera caught this kid flipping off the cops and and stuff and I made a comment as so many black leaders made comments about the impact of not having fathers in the community at all and Ron went after me.

So there's no way he's just he's just misremembering. He's just misremembering. But the whole idea is it was all this terrible horrible white supremacist Nasty man stuff and if you're asking did they bother to try to actually Substantiate these accusations against an elder in the church.

No, they did not that again. They they don't feel like they're under that kind of of stricture. The narrative allows them to say whatever they want. They don't have to be have any type of biblical accountability.

That's that's one of the problems so. That was there were there were a few people named byge Martis be Votey. Doug Wilson was just described. Doug Wilson was described in all the ways that Doug Wilson in his books has said he will be described by dishonest people.

It's been saying saying so if you if you want to say these things here are the actual facts. Well, they say them but they don't care about the facts. They don't care about responses. They don't care that they could never in any meaningful fashion go one-on-one and they know that that's that's why they do it the way They do they also went after John Piper and they went after John Piper because of Doug Wilson.

There was no there were there were there was talk about the PCA there was talk about RTS. There was nothing about the people that he had worked for at RTS, which I found interesting so there's just a small number of us who got named by name as white supremacists and racists and all the buzzwords that.

That they Continue to violate any meaningful biblical parameters of the Ninth Commandments of like that because they know they can't back it up. They know they know it's just it's not possible because to make those things stick they have to change the definitions To something that's unbiblical and they know.

They'd never be able to do it if they actually had to open the Bible and say well Here's here's what it says and here's what you've done. Because that's not their parameters any longer their parameters is critical theory and stuff like that.

So you would think that I would? You would think that I would focus upon what was said about me that wasn't the thing that concerned me all that much. There was a previous program in this leaving loud series they're doing.

We're talking about leaving these churches these white spaces and That had to do with Ali Henny's appearance on I believe it was February 3rd. I Think I think it's February 3rd somewhere around there.

I think it's the first in this series leaving loud. She's vice president of This organization now called the witness and I was more concerned about this than I was the one where they're going after me.

I expect that a Lot of people will ask how can how can you not let that bother because I know what the truth is. When I know that these people could never stand in front of me and And say the same words without my being able to utterly refute them with the facts.

Then why should I give any credibility to this person, you know people get so upset about what people say about them, but the fact is I. Why give them credibility? Why give any weight to their words? I've said to many people you'll burn out of ministry very very quickly until you learn the rule.

Give people's criticism the way it is due based upon what those individuals have actually done in life when they over decades Consistently do the work. Then you can listen to the criticisms. But the the non-avatar to Twitter dude that joined last week and has two followers.

If you even bother reading that tweet you are wasting your time all right, so just this whole idea. It goes back to the empathy thing this whole idea. That all opinions are equal. That you should give everyone's opinion equal weight is utter absurdity.

We never thought like this until the past ten years and Look at the mess. It's gotten this into no. I instead listened to this other program. Because I'm hearing this leaving loud. Leaving what leaving white spaces?

This is a movement. To create a segregated black church. It is literally these these folks are literally seeking to convince Black Christians to leave Interracial churches for their own good now. I have talked that not only do we know Black Christians who oppose all of this and they are constantly attacked and they're called every name under the under the Sun and you know who I'm talking about and and They stand strong we pray for them.

And they get treated like dirt. All right, so this isn't all of them but I've talked to black Christians who are not famous who've never written a blog article who've never been on a program and There's been an interesting consistency when we get I don't I don't chase Black believers at my church down or people like that and say hey, I want to talk to you about this.

It's almost always they come to me and say this has been my experience. I've seen what you've gone through let me let me tell you something about my experience and What I've heard is. They are they have either come out of black churches and are now attending churches that are focused upon the exegesis preaching of the word.

Making application to what's going on the world fighting abortion and Standing proclaiming Christ lordship in in society and and so on and so forth. Why are they there? And it's what they've said. Because in the black church, I was a part.

That's all they talked about was blackness honoring your blackness. The goodness of your blackness. And they they didn't proclaim the whole Council of God it was all race and ethnicity and And all the good things about being black.

Well, I already recognize I've been redeemed by God and I'm black and therefore. That's great. But that's not enough. And that doesn't make me better than somebody else. I want I want the whole Council of God I want and so I've met people who have Disappointed their families their families were angry with them that they Didn't go to a all-black church.

What are you doing over there with those? Asians and Hispanics and whites and what's what's wrong with the rest of us type of a thing? Because it the narrative is just repeated over and over and over again.

It becomes a mantra. That's dangerous, it's extremely dangerous extremely dangerous. So what what caught my attention? Was in this first one what you have is Ali Henny. Literally preaching she calls it preaching To black Christians.

You need to get out you need to leave loud and the basis is basically she is Exhorting Christians to develop a root of bitterness in their heart to take every Microaggression such as if someone calls you by the name of someone else because of course they're a racist and all black people look the same to them right.

Confuses you as somebody else. Then you're to take that and let's say it is because the person doesn't know who you are. Let's say it isn't what you're what they're saying is you need to take that and you need to need to nurture that you need to you need to let that make you so angry and so hurt and you need to take it personally and.

And you need to develop a root of bitterness in your soul that starts to threaten Your self view of yourself. You need to let that person's slight of you. Anger you so much. That you'll eventually you get out of there.

That's sinful. It's sinful it's in violation of Philippians chapter 2 you are thinking of yourself more than others. You're putting your things before others and the issue is have you been called to serve God serve Christ in a particular local fellowship?

That's that's the issue. Your skin color is irrelevant and the narrative says I'm all wrong about that. I'm sorry. You show me where the Bible tells tells me you show it to me. You know, you can't. You know that all that woke of Jesus that you've been given would collapse in a second in any Meaningful cross-examination.

There's no consistency to it. You do not use the same methods of interpretation. To substantiate this stuff that you use when talking about the resurrection of Christ or the deity of Christ or justification by faith.

Which you're not talking much about these days. You were a decade ago. You're not now and You know it. You know it in your honest moments, you know, yes, we have changed we've gotten woke. You have changed that's the reality so I want you to listen I want you to hear.

What is being said in that community and that these folks are they want to get this word out they Want to create? Unhappiness. Amongst the people in your church and they want to exhort black people. And I suppose other minorities might just go.

Well, that sounds good to me, too. But they want to exhort people To develop a root of bitterness and divide the congregation that's that's they want so. You don't believe me let's listen, you know, I'm not gonna be before you long.

But I but I just need to preach here for a minute. First of all, I want to say that black Christians You have not been called to die on the cross for white people's racial sins. Like that's like that's that's not I hear people say but you know I feel called that I'm not gonna tell you what your blessings are.

I am NOT the Holy Ghost. So I can't tell you what what God is calling you to or to not or not to do. But I'm just I'm just I'm just questioning it. So I just I want to read some scripture here because I think I think I need to get I need to get in the book for a minute because I.

Get in the book that's preaching from the words. So let's see what's said you. I hear I hear Tyler saying well, you know.

Yeah, you know we need to we need to leave and I can and I can hear it. You're black Christians being like oh, but but but should we do this? Especially those of us who have been baptized figuratively or literally in these white spaces.

It's like oh, but but can't but can we leave should we leave. Think think about think about what that would mean.

To view the church when you were baptized as a white space. See, I can't even I can't imagine it. I can't imagine it that that's not what baptism is about. That's it had nothing to do with color. It's just so sad when when such a thick filter has been created that you start identifying things as white spaces.

Are there Asian spaces? Are there Russian spaces? Are there Hispanic spaces?

Even that segregation like what. Blah blah blah blah blah. So let me get in the book for a minute.

I'm reading from Matthew chapter 10. I'm gonna start in verse 8 now. She said just a second ago. I was drinking at the time. She said someone said that's segregation. Yeah, it is. That's what she's talking about.

She's talking about segregated church.

Segregated church. I am reading out the New Revised Standard Version. Come on the scholars version. Okay, go ahead. Go ahead version. Yes. Yes, I'm putting that MDiv to use fam. I'm putting it to use.

Okay. These are these are the words of Jesus cure the sick raise the dead cleanse the lepers. Cast out demons. You receive without payment give without payment. Take no gold or silver or copper in your belts.

No bag for your journey or two or two tunics or sandals or a staff. For laborers deserve their food. Whatever town or village you enter find out who in it is worthy and stay there until you leave. As you enter the house greet it if the house is worthy.
