Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of the Todd Herman Show.
Story number one elan Omar's non English clan rant not
clan like KKK, although sort of, but clan with a seat.
Story number two, Women you didn't know you harmed? Should
you apologize? And story number three Americans value God in
marriage much more than you've been led to believe. We'll
talk about this with the help of God Almighty.
Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by big pharma
technocrats and tyrants everywhere. From the high mountains of Free America.
Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these
are the times through which God has decided we shall live.
So it's oh a big secrets to people who follow
anything sort of conservative, that illin Omar hates the United
States of America, that she is anti christ, anti Christian,
anti freedom, and that she considers Samalia her home country.
There's strong reason to believe that she committed immigration frauds
by marrying her brother. There's a bunch of evidence on that.
I'm not saying that the case is closed because they
don't want to provide false witness, because you know, we're
gonna sin I just don't want to sin on behalf
of ilan Omar. If I'm gonna go out and bear
false witness, make it with someone that matters what she
did in the wake of an election loss, not hers,
but for a radical Somali who is running for office
in her home state, well the hor home states Somalia,
in her visiting state of Minnesota. There are no words.
I don't often say things like I literally can't even
or guys, what's going on here? Because I listened to
when hosts say that, I want to say, why are
you paid to be a host? And I literally can't even,
And I really am just saying just what's going on? Well,
what's going on is this? We're a nation that is
well well into national national decline. We went through a
pioneer phase, went through a conquest phase, went through a
commerce phase or affluence phase, which we're in now affluence
and intellect. We're in an intellect phase and we're well
into the decadence phase. The next phase is collapse. This
is how nations collapse. So part of the intellect phase
and the decadence phase is oh well we'll just well,
we'll just go ahead and tickle our fancies, our intellectual
fancies that we're so open minded, we're so open minded. Yeah,
why don't we have an America hating Muslim be our congresswoman.
So you're about to see and or hear a rant
from her, and it is for people looking visually. You
could watch the words be translated people listening to audio.
I'll do my best to translate them for you, and
we'll do this in a sectecond. This is a really
good time to pray for America. It's a really good
time to look at cities like Dearborn, Michigan. Do you
remember a few weeks ago we ran the video of
people who are trying to distribute the Word of Christ
in Dearborn and having the police come and corral them
and move them out. Hey, you can't do that here.
And yet if you want to go distribute the Koran, Okay,
they get to do the call for prayer multiple times
per day, but you want to have that Bible verse,
you're inciting the police move. I had the so called
police chief for a while. He wanted to have Smali
language on the police cars and badges. Remember this so
you'd be well versed to look at this and then
to understand that when Angel Studios makes a movie that
was supposed to be well in the future, like thirty
years from now in America, it could be two or
three years if things go poorly. Look at what is
among immigrants are trying to do in Texas. So this
movie is called Disciples in the Moonlight, and it's a
group of Disciples of Jesus who are smuggling Bibles. And
if you think this is bizarre, think of this woman
who just got told by a judge. She works in
a hospital and or medical setting. She can have her
Bible verses on her desk, she could have a coffee
cup that has a Bible verse. But she had on
the wall of her cubicle she had a cross. Judge said, nope,
got to take that down. That's abusing the workplace. So
it's not that far away. Disciples in the Moonlight examines
this how they smuggle Bibles. Do you think about that?
What are they going to take a big semi truck
full of Bibles and try to smuggle that. There's times
where God steps in miraculously and saves people. There's times
where God lets people die. Some of the Disciples are killed.
I won't say which ones, but one of them you're
going to be glad he was killed sort of a
judas you'll see. Go watch this. It's called Disciples of
the Moonlight. Go to angel dot com, slash herman. That's

that while you're not just watching, you're helping to empower
brave Christian filmmaking. Angel dot com slash herman. So this
is illin Omar. The situation is that there was a
law and she was backing a candidate named Feta who
was a radical Islamist, and he lost to Jacob Fray
from mayor. And here's what she's saying, and I'll do
my best to translate, but a Simalian person becomes an enemy,
to become a serious one. There are people like that
living right here in our city. We all see them.
Some of us try to dismiss it, you know, saying
that person just talks too much, or leave them alone.
That's my relative. You probably met them in coffee shops,
you know exactly the type of people I'm talking about.
You've sat with them at Starbucks, maybe you've seen them
at the mosque once in a while maybe you've gotten
gotten to parties together. You know who I mean, you've
seen them. We need to get rid of these people. Oh,
we need to get rid of these people. Huh, how
would you do that? We will never gain power and
move forward as Simonians as long as these people live
among us. We will never gain power and move forward
to Somalians as long as these people live among us,
live among us. All when we rescued elan Omar from Somalia,
it was because people were being unalives minute by minutes
in Islamic clan wars. When you import people, you don't
just import their skin and bones and brain. You import
their attitudes, behaviors and upbringing. We don't need to kick
come out the same people Somalians we try to defend.
They're the ones who want to see us in jail,
who spread laws about us, who make videos claiming we
said things we never said like you're saying now. And
when that happens, there's no way to defend ourselves. I
can't keep saying all day, I didn't say that because
I've got work to do. You have, This is your work.
We're busy doing our jobs defending you. Simonians protecting this country,
creating lives. Oh, now she gets it. Protecting this country
by gaining power Somonians. That's protecting this country by a
waste every day fighting against accusations of what they accused
me of said on videos. That's your responsibility, your job
to not welcome those people who worked to block and
undermine Samonians in this country from gaining power or have influence.
This is a clan war in a major city in
a state, United States of America, being waged by a
woman who has expressed her belief that her home country
is Samoya, that her allegiance is to Samoia, who probably
committed immigration frauds to stay here by marrying her brother
who is building a big net worth working in Congress
against us. And she gets re elected. And someone say
to me the other day, someone who is very well
known in evangelical Christian circles as a leader therein he
doesn't have a lot of hope for America. Well, I
don't need hope in America. I need to remember that
my defense for my hope comes from Jesus and Jesus only.
I need to remember that I'm a visitor here. This
is not my home. It's not yours either. If you're
a committed Christian, if you've repented of your sins, that
means you have true sorrow. You took that to the Lord.
You asked Jesus to save you. You admitted you can't
do it without him. You accept them as your Lord
and savior. You agree to be changed by him. Then
we're just visiting here. Our ultimate home is in the
new Heaven and the New Earth. I have to remind
myself that on a daily basis, because in an eternal sense,
in an internal sense, there's not going to be a
United States. In an internal sense, there's going to be
a new Heaven and a new Earth. And the only
way there is to the Lord Jesus. So as I
watch that, I just realized I let her do it.
I said at the beginning of this I didn't want
to sin on behalf of illin Omar by providing false witness,
by saying categorically she married her brother. It's indicated that
she did. There's a lot of evidence of that. But
there she waited, made me good and sin for just
a tiny bit. I hated her, So I need to
repat that. And if you hated her, you need to
repent that. Otherwise, elan Omar didn't just take a little
occupation of your mind. She's opened a little doorway, little
tiny agreement with Satan that I'm just gonna hate this person,
just this one and then maybe one more, and then
Satan goes about his work. So let's not hate. Let's
just be well aware of what these people are trying
to do. Story number two. Women, you didn't know you harmed?
Should you apologize? You know, when you harm a person,
you should apologize, And apologizing can be a fantastic way
to build relationship.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It was many many months ago, maybe even last year,
a young guy joined one of our youth groups and
I was not having a good night. I was going
through a lot of self imposed stress. And this kid
is a bigger kid. He's tall, that he's muscular, and
he looks more adult than he is. He's a kid,
and he was squirrely that night, and I said something
that I wouldn't normally say during youth group. I said
something akin to, hey, you know what, why don't you
let me finish talking then you can finish interrupting me.
And it was snarky and it was rude, and I
actually saw physically that it hurt him, and I didn't
do what I should have done, which has pauses. I
should have paused the grip and said, wait a minute, wait,
that was wrong. I approached that wrongly, and I want
to I want to rechange I want to change that.
But I give him the gift. God gave me the gift.
The next week of seeing him alone and we had
a moment to speak and I said, hey, can I
chat with you for a second, and he was very reluctant.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I came over and said, man, I really owe you
an apology. You know, I spoke to you in a
way that you didn't deserve. It's like difficult being in
a new group and people get squirrely. I get squirrely.
I don't think you were meant any harm, you know,
you just didn't know the worked and I kind of
bitched your head off. And I'm really apologized. I really
am embarrassed for what I did, and I'm really sad
that I did that to you, And would you please
forgive me? And I could tell it was probably the
first time an adult man has ever said to this boy,
would you forgive me? In that way? In that setting
and I'm not trying to be hero Todd. I'm just
telling you story what happened. Since that time, he and
I have become really, really good friends, and it's really
honored to have him on the group. He shares things
with me, and that became possible because God led me,
the Holy Spirit convicted me. You owe that kid an apology.
There may be women in the world to home. We
all owe apologies every man, every man who's ever watched porn.
Ill sure what I mean here in just a second,
and let's be honest with ourselves. This stuff is huge
business huge. Back in the day when I worked for Microsoft,
I was on a panel in Los Angeles and I
said something about I was in the streaming video worlds
hoping to get that started. And I said something about
how porn providers understood more about streaming than Hollywood did,
and there was all this uncomfortable laughter, and I made
this joke. I said, oh, come on, guys, like, there's
porn provided on the hotel TVs here and someone's watching it, right,
and people are embarrassed and laughed. Also, it's Hollywood. That
stuff's produced down there all the time. It's big money. Now,
what's going to be bigger. Money is going to be
AI driven porn because oh, then we can remove the
people right now, there's no sin. Of course there's sin
because you're watching simulated adultery and fornication, et cetera. Of
course there's sin, but there's not the quote actors and
actresses see, AI is going to eat into everything. Coca
Cola has a new television commercial coming out, a big one,
and it's all AI driven. They're breaking about spending very
little money at that's an ad agency gone. That's millions
of dollars per year gone. If they don't need this,
I'm doing a website. It's going to take me about
an hour. Would have taken me months and employees to
do this. I'm just talking to an AI. It's going
to change everything. If you think this isn't going to
change your retirement, man, I'm telling you you're smoking some sweet,
sweet stink weed. My friend Zach Abraham, chief investment officer
Bullwark Capital Managements, putting on a free live webinar come

twenty five Dash three three eight. This is some women
who were involved in having sex on camera for money.
And I see it that way because porn is a euphemism.
We should call it what it is. They fornicated on
camera for money, or they committed adultery on camera for money.
Men watch this, usually men, and you know exactly what
guys do when they watch porn. Everybody knows, we just
don't say it. So I think that we owe these
women in apology and we can't go meet them. They
don't want that, none of em want to see us,
but we owe them the apology in general as men.
So maybe it's just social media. Maybe there's just be
a movement. I'm sorry for watching porn.
Speaker 3: The stairs I get. I feel like people can see
through my clothes and it brings me deep shame and
it makes me feel like it makes me feel like
I lost all right to my privacy, which I did
because then I'm one Google search away.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you'd like disassociate and be like, you know, like
it's not like normal. So in my head, no, I
can think of like five six guys, ten guys that
I remember, and that's it. If I didn't, if I
didn't have the videos, hold a no of don ouns.
You know, when people ask me if they should be porn,
I tell them no. It makes stating really hard, It
makes your family life really hard, and you have to
be okay with being shamed every day of your life.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to have children because I do porn,
because I'm worried of the way that people will chase
my child when I go out.
Speaker 3: I feel as if I'm wearing slut across my forehead.
The names that people have called me.
Speaker 1: It's as if if you could take out those names
and print them and put a ribbon around my whole
body of all.
Speaker 4: The names and things that people say to me on
the Internet.
Speaker 1: That's how I feel when I walk outside the door.
There are days, two weeks at a time where I
don't leave my house because I don't feel like facing
the world.
Speaker 2: I want you when I grow up.
Speaker 1: I don't please, don't tell your mother that you don't
really love you, but do better than me.
Speaker 3: You don't see the bruises all over the woman's body
after an abusive scene and her crying and feeling like
if she hadn't done the scene, she would have gotten
her paycheck.
Speaker 1: There's a group called Fight the New Drug and they
do a lot of great research on what having sex
on camera for money does to women, and committing fornication
and adultery and camera for money does to women. So
let's start with the most important thing. Jesus Christ loves
these women, absolutely loves them, created them in his and
created them in his image. He created the men who
also cremit fornication and adultery on camera for money. He
loves them, he wants them back in the family. He
wants to adopt them. This repentance they're talking about, this
social shame, he wants that. He wants them to give
it to him, to come to him in repentance for
what they did with the bodies he gave them, in
the existence he gave them. And when they do that,
and they repent fully with the sorrow to the Lord Jesus,
and they accept him as Lord and savior, he will
cleanse them. He'll cleanse the men. If you've watched porn,
you created a marketplace for this. You drove the marketplace.
You created a marketplace that has resulted in children being abused,
still does. If you're in this marketplace, you owe these
women in an apology, So you can't reach out to them.
That would be creepy, it would be horrible, be wrong.
Don't do it. But you could post on social media,
I'm sorry for ever watching porn, or if you like,
you can confess to friends and brothers. You can confess
in that setting, and you can commit to trying to
never do it again. Think that helped me stop was
realizing many many years ago, probably twenty years ago that
I was watching videos of girls being sexual assaulted. That
was it for me. Praise God that stopped it. Do
you think you owed them an apology? Definitely? Definitely. If you're
a Christian man, you owe Jesus an apology. These are
people He created. Some of them are still Christian. They' strade.
They're definitely prodigals. They're at risk of removing themselves from
God's presence for eternity, but we don't know that they've
done that yet. For my money, you owe them an apology,
even if it's two accountability brothers, even if it's in
a group prayer setting. I feel like you owe them
an apology. And maybe that step on social media, maybe
that's not such a bad idea, and may go. May
God work through this entire society of men to let
these women see our faces, Christ's face replacing it. And
to the men involved in this thing, they God have mercy.
Story Number three. Americans value God and marriage more than
you might think. There is a prevailing belief, and it's
easy to see in society that people just don't value
marriage like they used to. And there's a consistent thread
that goes through discussion of marriage and It has to
do with statistics, and you probably know how to unwind
these statistics, right. You know half of marriages end in divorce.
You've heard this statistic. Well, there's a really interesting way
to look at this. How many of them were civil unions,
how many of them were marriages or people went through
premarital counseling, how many of them went through Christian premarital counseling.
How many of them when married or part of a
home group or a life group for a church, a
Christian church. The percentages start to drop precipitously. You're talking
now about ten five percent of marriages ending in divorce.
You can back that back out of the world of
Christianity and go back to the world at large, and
that fifty percent. You can take that and say, look,
I know couples who've been married for fifty sixty years.
We do this in church, do this in Mother's Day
and Father's Day. People raise their hands or stand out
if they've been married for something. I think we saw
someone the other day who was married for something like
sixty five years. It's pretty embracing that they've stayed married
and they never had any problems, like not not a
single argument. So of course they did. They had hard seasons.
So then there's the people who get divorced, it seems
for sports. I mean, you can take the absurd cases
out of Hollywood, seven or eight divorces. Those skew the
numbers because it's marriages. They don't say individual marriages or
individual people. They're talking about as a group. So there's
a lot of ways to look at this, and there's
a lot of ways to examine it. There's also ways
to look at the fact that God is moving through
people's lives in ways you wouldn't think. So there's also
this belief that God is no longer relevant and therefore
marriage is less relevant, and it's easy for us, even
as Christians believe this now certainly, certainly, certainly, if you
look at something called the barn and study, there's a
lot of people who say they're Christian, but they don't
know what it means. But at least they say they're Christian.
At least there's something in them that leads them to
welcome the Holy Spirit coming to them, and they want
the Lord Jesus. They know they need the Lord Jesus.
They just don't know what it means to be Christian.
That's our job, those of us who call ourselves the
exiled elect, and those are people who have been who're
told to be in the world and not of it.
One of our primary duties, beyond making disciples, is to
rescue captives. So there are people who are captive. They
don't know they're captive. They think they're Christian because they
go to church one point one times per month and
they set a special prayer and they sprinkle some Jesus
powder on top of the things. The decisions they make,
and they try super hard to go and obey the
portions of the Bible with which they agree, but they
don't even understand the salvation issues. That's on us. That's
on us. Certainly, they can go read the Bible, they
can go spend time around Christians more mature than they are.
They can make that decision. They have agency. God gave
them agency to a degree. In America, we still have life, liberty,
pursuit of happiness to a degree. So they can go
do these things. But it's also on us. See when
Jesus said to whom much is given, much is expected.
Do you think being given salvation? Do you think being
bought at the price of the blood of the Savior
of mankind, Jesus Christ. Do you think that's being given much?
I do being given eternity with him in a worry
free zone, in a hate free zone, no discord, nothing
like that. That's not being given much. That's being given
everything forever. So part of our job is to take
that because we've been given much, and to realize just
much expected of us, like freeing the captives. So this
combination of things God gaining influence in the world and
marriage being more important than you think should be a
reason for optimism because we're talking hear about momentum. You know,
it's one thing to cold start something. I don't know
if you ever do this, but this is ridiculously difficult,
at least for me. Cold starting exercise. Try this sometime.
Don't warm up now, be careful with this. Be careful
with this. But for instance, something that you're not going
to get superhard at, like go run a mile with
no warm up, just get up from your chair. And
if you don't, man, I should be careful here. If
you are not trained, don't do this because it could
kill you. But if you're sitting around one day you've
been sitting around for a couple of hours. And let's
say you're trained athletes or you train a lot, get
out of your chair and run the fastest mile you
can without warming up. You're going to find it incredibly
difficult because you've gone from a zero you know, movement.
Your body's not warmed up. You don't have the heart
rate up. It isn't doesn't recognize you're going to exercise.
That's one thing. Then do a warm up. Your mile
time's going to be what thirty percent faster. Same thing
with trying to get a car moving right, pushing it
from a dead stop versus its roll. Go keep it going.
We have momentum. We should use this momentum. So let's
go through some of the ways that momentum is possible
for us to use given some of the current state
of the world. The fact we've got a video to
this point, the seconds I'll play for you, it's tons
and tons of people getting connected to churches and baptized.
And that's so important because people have have a defense
for their faith. You know, I think just about every
day and pray just about every day for my friend
John and his family. They're the family behind Alan soaps. John,
who runs a company, he's gotten a good long heads
up that Jesus has called him home, that he's going
to go to the Lord. He's spending that time with
his family and his friends and mostly his family, and
praise God, he's getting to do that. And that's the
cause for fearful lot of us, not for John. He
knows where he's going. In a way, it's also a
cause for celebration in that he has a defense for
his faith. So does his family. They know where John's going.
They're going to miss him. And you have a chance
to do something in a way of sort of a
I don't know, pre memorial service gift. Honestly, it's to
try the soap at Alan Soaps. If you haven't yet
done that, give it a shake. If it's not better
than the soap you have now, then don't buy it again.
It's that easy. I think it'll be better because it
is all natural. I think you'll feel better about it
because it's made in America, and I think you'll love
it because it's made by a family that's done this
for three generations. There's not a single chemical in it.
And then I know you're going to love its purpose.
Its purpose is to employed people like Alan, who's nonverbal.
He's been through about eighteen operations. He's fourteen. He'll probably
be through twenty more in his lifetime, so he can
continue to move and live. His brother, Ian is impacted
by autism as well. He also works there. He's another kid.
The world would say he's got no value. So I
think you feel good about purchasing the soap, and I
think you love the fragrances, and I think you love
the communication with them. I think you'll fall in love
with not the brand, but the people behind this. So
here's this special sort of pre memorial gift for John.
If you love the soap once you try it, subscribe.
This way the company can survive as John's wife is
being trained to take it over after he goes to
the Lord, so we can continue to employ people like
Ian and Allan and hire more young people like we
were doing before this particular period of time. It's Alan
Soaps dot Com slash Todd, Alan Soaps dot Com slash
Todd speaking of a defense for a faith. Here's a
video that I think gives us a great defense for
a faith. This is from thousands, thousands and thousands of
people who are rededicating their lives to Jesus Christ. This
is momentum right here.
Speaker 3: When you've worship, you start to take your eyes both
for the giant and you've been fighting.
Speaker 1: When you worship, you remind your soul. Huge crowd of
people being baptized, Praise God. Look at this God who
is greater. There is a God who is stronger. Every
time this happens, we should feel a thrill. Every time
you get to watch them dying to your old self,
they risen again and in Christ signifying this and saying, yes, Lord,
I submit. I can't go to the cross like you did,
but I can go in the water. So this is
a Rededications are happening all around the country. That is
the University of Cincinnati during a unite US college event,
two thousand students were connected. They got connected to local churches.
And this is according to CBN, praise God for this,
that connection to local churches. Let's go back to divorce rates.
People who join their local churches and stay with their
local churches, they get in small groups and life groups.
And what that means is you meet once maybe twice
a week. When those groups are really fruitful. You end
up forming actual family like partnerships. And you start this
at a young age. You know, you're a young person
and you're not yet married, or maybe you're just engaged.
These are people you can go through life with for
fifty years, through all the seasons of marriage. So when
there's an upsetting season or you disappoint spouse or they
disappoint you, you don't go and tell tales. You don't
go and complain. You go and say, man, I'm in
a tough spot. I'm having a tough season. Can we
talk about are you? As a couple, you go to
your life group and sit down and say, hey, guys,
you know before we start, can we just tell you
some things that are going in our life. We really
need prayer. And those groups are not about fixing you.
The goal of life group is not to have human
beings come in and fix you. Is to hear you,
to hear the confession, to bring Jesus into it, to
bring the Holy Spirit into it, and let God do
this fixing. So it's a big belief people have that
this is God doesn't matter anymore. The fact is that's
not true. There's a growing share of us adults who
say religion is gaining influence in American life. More Americans
are also expressing a positive view of religion's role in society.
And indeed, in twenty twenty five, or did bot them out,
it's about thirty maybe about twenty five percent. Right now,
it's thirty one percent say it's gaining influence. There's a
pretty big change in this. There's other people who say
it's losing influence to thirty seven percent, but there's a
line going up from the bottom which hasn't been there
in a very very long time. And when your adults
are saying this that it's gaining influence, there's some reasons
for that. This is a extract of the study. To
be sure, most Americans continue to say that religion's role
in society is declining, but the share who take that
position fell sharply from eighty percent in twenty twenty four
to sixty eight percent in twenty twenty five. After answering
the questions about whether religion is gaining or losing influence,
respondents are asked to evaluate the change they identified, For example,
those who said that religion's influence is declining, or asked
whether that decline is a good thing or a bad thing.
We combine these questions estimate how many Americans have a
positive view of religion's influence in society and how many
who have a negative view. And here's what Pugh found. Overall,
fifty nine percent of you adults express a positive view
of religion's influence on American life. Either they say that
religion's influence is growing and this is good, or they
say that religion's influence is declining and that is bad.
Press a negative view. Either they say that religion's influence
is growing and this is bad, or they say that
religion's influence is declining and this is good. Twenty one
percent express neutral or unclear views. They say that the
changing influence of religion doesn't make a difference in American life,
or that they decline to answer the question. So when
they say this that religion's influence is growing and that's bad,
what do you think that means? I mean, we can
read into this a little bit. So there's been some
growth in how people view marriage. Well, something happened after
the overfelt decision. What Supreme Court said, and this is
what they said. They didn't just say that states can
allow people of the same sex to marry. They say
it's a right. When something's a right, someone can be
forced to provide it for you. That's not a right,
it's an anti right. What Supreme Court did was created
an anti right. And leftist organizations, those who practice the
so called gay gospel, they use this as a cudgel.
They went and said, we will force you to violate
your religious beliefs. Well, guess what, there's been a fight back.
There's been a snapback and Americans have said, no, we're
not going to be for usd to do that. So
now you see religious organizations beginning to push back again.
Now we have the right to say no, we're going
to raise money, we're going to defend people in court.
We're going to defend bakers of cakes in court. So
there are people on the sexual left that say, wow,
it's a bad thing that religion is gaining influence, or
they'd say in relation to let's say Charlie Kirk, there's
a lot of people who didn't know that Charlie Kirk
could put Jesus at the center of his work. And
when he was assassinated, there were people who were celebrating
this because they thought it was a political figure. They
didn't understand how God uses things like this. So as
God is gaining influence, praise God. We should use this
as momentum which God. And if you are a Christian,
what does that mean? Evangelical Christians have the role right
now assigned to them of getting with these people who believe.
It's more of a sense. They have an emotional belief,
it's a heart belief. We need to get to their
head because we need to have head, heart, hands and
feet to help Jesus. Our head is understanding the Gospel
what it means to be saved. Who can communicate with others.
Our heart is our decision to act. It's our will.
In the Bible, the heart means our will, our will
to act on behalf of Jesus, our hands to do
the work of Jesus. This is to help feed the poor,
to visit people in prison, to help people come out
of prison. And our feet to walk with Jesus, to
abide with him. We need all of these things. So
this is God. God values marriage. How do we know
this because He invented it. Because God abhors divorce for
all reasons, even yes, even in the case of adultery. Yes,
Jesus did say, in the case of ongoing sexual amorality
or adultery, yes you can divorce your wife, and therefore
she can divorce her husband. But but he still hates it.
Because God joined these unions together and he can forgive.
He can forgive everything, and here's the capacity to forget sins,
and he calls us to do that. How do I know?
Because God said those who give mercy, we shall receive it.
We need to think about that. For give us our
sins as we forgive those who trespass against us in
the exact same way. Jesus, please forgive us exactly the
same way we forgive others. So as God matters, does
it make a big because it cause you a big
surprise that marriage also matters. This is Erasmussen Report, So
a summary of marriages still matter most for Americans. And
I use an AI to summarize this because it was
behind a paywall. Arasmus Report National survey conducted October twenty
through twenty second twenty twenty five, polled one three hundred
and seven American adults and found that a strong majority
still value marriage highly. Key highlights include personal importance. Seventy
percent of respond that say marriage is important to their
personal happiness, with forty eight percent rating it as very important.
Only twenty four percent view it as unimportant. Societal benefits.
A majority believe that the more traditional families implied through
emphasis on marriage would improve the country. The survey had
a margin of air of PLA plus minus three percentage
points in ninety five percent conveidence. No detailed demographic breakdowns
were provided in the article. When you look at this
and marriage is important across these factors societal importance, individuality,
why do you think that is? Why do you think
that people who haven't studied this couldn't respond to a polster? Hey,
do you think marriage is important? These people hadn't studied
the outcomes of married and unmarried homes in all likelihood
because they feel it is. Why because even if we've
never read the word of God, we haven't read the
Old Testament, we haven't read the New Testament. And planted
in us is what's right and what's wrong? How do
we know? Because the apostle Paul told us and planted
in us is God's will. We were designed to walk
with him. We were designed for the garden. We broke
that design with sin, but the design is still there.
We still want to run in those grooves. Have you
ever found that, like to say, you're driving your jeep
out of a I know this is kind of a
weird example, but you're driving your jeep out of a
let's say, wilderness area. It's hard to get your wheels
out of a groove. Well, it's just like that. We
are meant to be in the groove of marriage. There
are some demographic breakgrounds with other Raspmusten polls. How important
is marriage to your personal happiness? You look at gender
very important, somewhat important, men sixty five percent, not important,
as thirty, women seventy five percent, and twenty percent not importance.
Political affiliation gets really interesting. Eighty five percent of Republicans
say marriage is somewhat are very important, ten percent say
not important at all. Independence it's seventy percent say it's
somewhat important or very important, Twenty five percent say it's
not important at all. Democrats fifty five percent say it's
importance or somewhat important, forty percent say not important at all.
That's the lowest of all and the reason Raspusten say
is more emphasis on individualism and equality. Yeah, nothing says
equality like staying apart forever. Nothing says equality like constant
dating or constant series of girlfriends and boyfriends. That's equality,
it's not. We were given equal need for each other,
equal need. When God created us in his image, male
and female. He created us, God himself said something he'd
never said about us in creation, never once. When God
created the stars, the universe, spoke the world in new existence,
let there be liked. It was good. He created the
seas and the animals that swim in it, and it
was good. The land animals and it was good. The
things that fly and creep, and it was good. He
created man, and it was good. But it was not
good that man was alone. I mean, there are all
these animals. He had the garden, he had good, and
it was not good that man was alone. So he
created woman, and together it became good, became very good
until we decided to break this. By sin. We were
meant most of us to have partnerships for life. Marit
a partnerships for life. Most of us, some of us
are gifted to be single, and God uses this in
those ways. But the reason that those people can answer
a pole question like that, do you think marriage is
a good thing is because God puts the knowledge that
it is a good thing in their hearts. Their will
is still in an attachment to the old way and
the good way that's God's way. This is the Todd
Hermann Shaw. Please go, be well, be strong, be kind,
and please make every effort to walk in the light
of Christ.
