Speaker 1: Welcome to the Superstories version of The Todd Herman Show

about Chip and Joanna Gaines finally leaving Christianity behind a
peer to peer call that didn't really mean peer to peer.
It's keeping old people out of getting care. We'll talk
about Cracker Barrel and we had a lot to talk
about their tribalism and the illegal you turner, are you
a good Christian supremacist? Ah, that's a slur now Christian supremacy?
And do you know where you're going when you die?
Because John MacArthur renew where he was going to say.
That's just a part of the Superstories. We'll get started
now with the help of renewed dot Healthcare, We've got
our big, big, free live webinar coming up September eleventh
to eleven am Pacific. Go to join stem cell talks
dot com, submit your question, join us there and be

near Port of Art to Mexico.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by
Big Pharma Technocrats and Tyrone Sabrian from the high Mountains
of Free American. Here's the Emerald City exime.
Speaker 1: Todd Herman. Today is the day the Lord has made,
and these are the times to which God has decided
we shall live. So Ship and Join the Gains are
out with a brand new TV show and it's produced
by them, and it's an all queer team. It has
a cross dressing judge and an all queer team. And
Ship and Join the Gains have turned totally from Christianity.
Why would I say this? What they can't work with
so called queer people and same sex attracted people, gender
confused people. Yeah, they can if it's a ministry. Part
of our job as Christian people is to have everything
be a ministry. I'll tell you candidly. When I have
an opportunity to interact with the same sex or attracted person,
or a gender defiant or a gender confused person, I
am prayerful, and I take an extra step to be
as kind as I can and as listening oriented as
I can, and as attuned to who they are as
I can to seek information about them outside of the
same sex attraction or the gender defiance, to find any
in all areas I can connect when I can. A
Because it's the right thing to do if you're spending
time with somebody. B Because I want every opportunity I
can for them to see God through me. Because when
the conversation comes up and arises around do you think
my lifestyle is biblical? I have to be able to
say no, no, I do not. And when the question
comes along of but I was born this way, I
need to be able to answer that as wisely as
I can. Wrapped in grace, I cannot promote these choices.
I cannot pretend that the biblical, because the Bible's clear.
Chip and Joanna Gains have made a decision, and it's
a decision as old as the faith itself. I'll just
say this, I imagine they're getting more than thirteen pieces of silver.
That's at least what I imagine. Friend of mine the
other day mentioned to my beloved wife that she's now
bone on bone and she was asking if renew Healthcare
could do anything. It's in her knee. And I was
talking to my good friend Ben, who's my sports med doc,
about this, and he said, hey, a lot of times
doctors make things seem worse. So I wouldn't necessarily trust this.
I would get in touch with Renewed Healthcare. Now Renew
if you've heard me talk about these guys, this is
where I get my stem cells in Mexico. They come
only from umbilical cords. They are worlds ahead of what
doctors in the United States are allowed to do in
terms of the quality of the stem cells. Worlds ahead.
There is no comparison. There are worlds of head in
terms ahead in terms of the holistic treatment. But should
probably think this is only muscular skeletal. It's not that.
It's also for things like neurological issues. It's also things
like this. And this is from a patient named Mark.
He wrote as a man dealing with erectro of dysfunction
was not only physically frustrating, it deeply impacted my confidence
and relationship. I tried different treatments over the years, but
nothing offered lasting results. Discovering Renew Healthcare and the stem
cell therapy was a churning point. The team made me
feel comfortable, informed, and supported every step of the way.
After undergoing treatment, I noticed a significant improvement, not just
in performance, but on how I feel overall. It's hard
to put into words how much this has changed my life.
I feel like myself again, confident, connected, truly grateful for
this second chance. That's a hard thing for a dude
to admit, and the stem cells help with this. It
can help with arthritis, joint pain, and yes, even things
like anti aging. I'm Brad faxon sixty two, professional golfer
on the PGA two where some friends introduced me to
the benefits of stem cells, especially as we age. That first,
I was hesitant, wondering are really going to in Mexico
for healthcare? After seeing the testimonies and meeting the team,
I was blown away. The moment you walk in, you
feel like it's one of the best facilities in any
major city in the world. When you go to renew,
don't be surprised when you're run into professional athletes because
they know so. I'm going to give you a chance
to ask all the questions you want, even about your
own medical condition. Here's how to do it. Go to
the website join stem cell talks dot com submit your question.
On September eleventh at eleven am Pacific, I'm going to
join doctor Navarro friend Steve Anderson, who's the managing partner
of the clinic. We're going to give you a virtual tour.
They're going to answer these questions. Doctor Navarro is going
to provide you side by side results of stem cells
versus surgery, and we can talk about the neurological things,
the ed things, all of that. And everybody who attends
and makes it through the entire webinar will be entered
to win a free week stay at the beautiful Hotel
Meal in Nueva Varata, which is just right by Portovarta.
It's join stem cell talks dot com. Join stem cell
talks dot com. American doctors are becoming very, very very
frustrated with insurance companies who are playing a vicious game.
They pretend to provide peer to peer calls so that
they can decide whether you need this or that treatment.
And many doctors recorded themselves finding out that these doctors
aren't peers. They've never worked, for instance, in cancer, these
doctors will not give their actual names, they won't talk
about their specialties. In other words, it's nothing like a
peer to peer call. A peer to peer discussion is
where one cancer doc talks to another cancer doc. That's
peer to peer. One heart doctor talks to another heart doctor.
Now it's extended into patients trying to get into nursing homes.
Watch this, Oh, sick of insurance companies.
Speaker 3: I have had two patients that have been sitting in
the hospital for five days that I have said for
five days that they need to go to the nursing home.
Physical therapy, occupational therapy notes are in. They've noted the
severed ability. They're recommending nursing home too. Today I get
a notice at eleven am that appeer to peers due
in order for one to go to the nursing home,
and it had to be done.
Speaker 2: By two pm.
Speaker 3: So you give me a notice at eleven and you
give me three hours to work in And I had
multiple critical patients at this point, and so you give
me three hours to say you have to call by
three hours if this patient doesn't get to go, like,
you can't give me any more notice than that when
he's been here for five days. Okay, I'll drop everything
to call insurance. Now I'm pulling in home. It's almost
four pm because that's when my shift's over. I've been
on call all night. From eleven pm into the morning,
I was on call and then I work my shift
at the hospital until four pm. I go back to
work tomorrow at eight am. And I'm just now, just now,
as I'm pulling in home, being notified that another patient
that has been sitting in the hospital for five days
that needs a nursing home, has all the therapy documented,
that he needs thought and insurance, needs a peer to
peer And they're telling me at four pm, when my
shift is over, they're telling me that the peer to
peer has to be completed by tomorrow at nine am.
You're not even giving me any business hours to call you.
Speaker 1: Anyone think that's a mistake. They were willing to lie
to the entire world about where COVID came from and
who it would kill and the number of people would kill,
so that they could force people to put on woke masks,
so they could destroy their psyche, destroy society, lock us down,
destroy small businesses, destroy the mental health of kids, in
order to force people to take a gene sequencing device.
Massive global sile and doctors and nurses were willing to
turn off their minds. As we all watched it happen,
some of us spoke out about it, and we were
called all the names in the world. We'd also spoken
about transing kids, same people doing the same thing, and
we were called conspiracy theorists. Then now we're talking about
weather manipulation and theipulation of the food supply, and it's
right there in front of you. If you work in
aviation and you don't call the whistle on the you
don't build the whistle on what's going on, you are
doing it. You've made the decision to spray people to
destroy weather. You've decided to do that. Congratulations. If you're
involved in the global food supply and you see what's
going on and you're not blowing the whistle on that,
you've decided to limit food to people. And look, God
decides final judgment. But I would just tell you this,
you're not stealing from us, just us. You're stealing from God.
And that's got to come with some pretty severe consequences.
So hope you might consider that there's some things worse
than being fired, far worse, just like there's things worse
than dying and going to heaven. There's dying and going
to hell, going to heaven. It's a good thing. Backerbarrol
shareholder lawsuit should start with the CEO's bank statements. You know,
because I did the Totterhoman Show radio shows for all
those years and still continue to do it. Obviously taught
Herman show radio shows. I lived in a world where
we talked about living the brand. This is something we
used to say in music radio, and I worked in
music radio for a very brief period of time. But
if you're get to be successful in music radio, it's
important that you live the brand. So if you have
an ACR station, you need to be able to communicate
with the ACR audience by hanging out with them. And
if you're running a country music station, you need to
be able to learn to hang out with country music
fans and get to know them. Living the lifestyle means
you're being genuine, particularly if you're an on air personality.
Now if you're in sales or management, maybe that's a
little bit different, unless you're a program director, and then
you need to be able to speak with them in
ways that they will understand. So much about what happened
at Cracker Barrel indicates to me that this is no
longer understood or even cared for, which is why I
say in the upcoming lawsuit, the shareholder lawsuit, and there's
got to be one they should start with the CEO's
bank records because of the glasses she wore. Literally, the
glasses she wore mapped up to an in depth insider
analysis into her moves to quote refine the brand of
Cracker Barrel. Here's why I say that it was a
fascinating dynamic to see Twitter users see the glasses of
the CEO of Cracker Barrel, Julie Fel's messino, and based
upon that say the brand is in trouble. Those glasses
are a uniform for many many people. They're the uniform
of wanting to be on MSNBC as a commentator. They're
the uniform of smart glasses. Is a leftist thinker. Leftism
in brands like Cracker Barrel cannot coexist because the brand
Cracker Barrel was built around a nineteen twenties nostalgic memory
of the United States of America. Leftism does not like
the United States of America, particularly not back in the
nineteen twenties or in the founding era. They want to
envision the future unburdened by the past. And Cammy Harris Gibberish.
So people saw the glasses and they said this and
poorly there's the fourteen percent stock dep The glasses were
the indicator. I'm saying, her personal bank account is what
the lawsuit should really dig into, and it's not even
the big money she makes as Cracker Burrew. I want
to see her last five year bank records, debit cards,
and credit cards. I want her entire spending pattern for
the last five years because I have a theory. There's
an investor. His name is sar Dar Big Laurie and
this comes from Fox Business News. Arson Nomani wrote a
great article that this guy is a major investor in
Cracker Burrow. He also happens to own Steak and Shake.
He warned the board, this is going to be catastrophic.
There is tribalism, and you could make this a racial
statement if you like, feel free, but tribalism is a
thing where you cannot criticize your own side. We've all
seen now the video of the guy who was an
immigrant to this country came here illegally. He pulled an
insane u turn driving a semi truck that he wasn't
able to really drive. He only passed two out of
twelve verbal questions. He could only identify what was It's
one out of four road signs, won the traffic signs,
and he got to be a licensed commercial truck driver
or the state of California. You've seen the U turn,
You've seen the result. You've seen that the car, bizarrely,
not thinking a semi is going to turn in front
of them on a freeway where there's no turning lane,
ran into them and three people died instantly. The defenses
to this come across as one thing and one thing only,
and it is tribalism. These are people from our side.
And I'll show you this in a seconds, and then
I want to talk about tribalism from a perspective of faith.
Is there a tribe within a tribe within a tribe
in Christianity? Does Jesus respect tribes? The petition is about identity.
It's that these people can identify with him. But can
they identify with the victims, the victims who did nothing
other than drive on a freeway. If you look at
this from a perspective of Christianity, look at this as
a perspective as a Christian person, where do we need
to be well, we need to look at this and
say indeed, he aired. We need to look at this
and say I can forgive that I do forgive that.
We need to look at this and pray, and then
we need to examine justice versus revenge. This man snuck
into a country illegally. This man was allowed to have
a commercial driver's essence, so he couldn't understand street signs.
This man had to know that he couldn't understand street
signs because he couldn't understand street signs. This man had
to know that he couldn't understand enough of the English
language to get to more than two out of twelve
verbal questions correct during an examination. He had to know
these things. He made a decision to drive anyway. Prideful
perhaps sneaking in new country and remaining there prideful. Perhaps
perhaps it's simply just being scheming and lying. He has
now earned a reward. What does this mean for us
as Christians that we can't take joy in this? We
can want the justice, We'll know that God will meet
it out. But tribally speaking, within the body of Christ,
are there any tribes? There's not. We need to understand
something that as Christians we give up some rights. We
give him up now we self free will, but we've
given up the right for instance, to judge this guy
is far worse than us. Because Jesus makes it very
very clear, we can discern we could have judgment for this,
but we need to understand if we all got fair treatment,
we wouldn't have redemption because we continue to sin against
Jesus and against his word. If we were to get
pure justice just based upon our actions, none of us
would be going to heaven. We need to keep this
in mind when we look at situations like this. We
need to make sure that the devil does not come
into the body of Christ and say, yeah, yeah, yeah,
do this harder. Let's make it ninety years, Let's make
it just Let this also make sure that we remain
in love as we speak truth, because that's what Jesus
did and what he modeled. And the mayor of Chicago,
Brandon Johnson, he's using the language of the civil rights battle,
wants people to rise up, and the people of Chicago,
they are going to rise up for a cause that matters,
for a cause I could look up to and say,
this is something upon which Brandon Johnson can cement his
legacy to rise up on behalf of the cartels. President
Trump has suggested that he might roll the National Guard
into Chicago to help solve crime like he's done in Washington, DC.
Problem is of course constitutional traditionally, and I think constitutionally
they have to have permission or be invited in unless
the President declares an emergency. He could do that through
insurrection or there's an emergency, and I think crime is
at an emergency level in Chicago. I don't want to
see this happen, but it could. So how could I
connect this to the cartels When we're talking about street violence,
we're just talking about gang violence. We're talking about the
sad fact that in cities like Chicago, the number one
cause of death of young black men is in fact,
other young black men. So how could I tie this
to the cartels? Because that's what martinon Johnson's doing. It's
not a hard leap to tie it to the cartels.
Here's Brandon Johnson cementing his legacy as Chicago mayor with
a call to rise up and defend the cartels.
Speaker 4: And so, you know, look, we're going to remain firm,
will take legal action, but the people of this city
are accustomed to rising up against tyranny, and if that's necessary,
I believe that the people of Chicago will stand firm
alongside of me as I work every single day to
protect the people of this city.
Speaker 1: Every single day, to protect the people of the city.
By doing nothing about gang violence, by refusing to address
black on black crime, Oh, black on black, Matt makes
me a racist, No, it makes me a realist. Black
on black crime is a real thing, and it's deadly
to teens, young black men. It's deadly to them. So
how can I tie this cartels? It's not that hard
of a leap, too easy steps. Cartel's benefit cartel's benefit
from chaos. Cartel's benefit from a busy police force. Cartel's
benefit from street criminals being taught they have nothing to
fear from the police. Cartel's benefit from a mayor who
thwarts the police in their efforts to stop crime. Cartel's
benefit in lawlessness. Cartel's benefit because when cops are busy
solving street crime or is chasing after drive by murderers,
it's easier for the politicians to pretend that this is
just quote gang violence, it's just random violence. Cartel's benefits
from wars between gangs. Cartel's benefit because the Chinese cartels
can come into an area and say we choose this gang.
Han Durham cartels can come in and benefit and say
we choose this gang, and Russian gangs set Russian cartels,
et cetera. This happens in cities like Seattle. Now I
know Seattle better than Chicago, but I know this dynamic
by heart. Go talk to a cop in Seattle and
say show me where the Honduran cartels run Seattle. They'll
show you. What about the Mexican cartels? Where are the
Chinese setting up ops. Had a friend of mine who
was a cop, and he took me to a Chinese growhouse.
Everybody knew it. Everybody knew there were cartel members in there.
A couple of weeks later he showed me a house
or a cop killer was allowed to live for about
a month. Everybody knew he was there, and he was
tied into Honduran cartels. President Trump's team should be communicating
that one of the reasons why they want to roll
the National Guard in is because these cartels are actually
kind of military operations. I mean they're military. Look at
them in Mexico and sometimes they outgun and outnumber the
Mexican police forces in northern Mexico, they've taken Mayor's captive,
and in fact they've unlive Mayor sin some pretty dramat
they're at least paramilitary, and they've set up shopping these cities.
They have supply chains. I mean a supply chain means
you bring stuff in through a chain. Right, They're bringing
in drugs, they're bringing in people, they're taking out cash.
Do we want paramilitary organizations aligned with the Honduran government,
Mexican or Durant cartels, Mexican cartels, Russian cartels. Do we
want them set up in American cities because cartels benefit,
They benefit from things like nightly insurgencies. This is from Portland.
This is still going on every single night in Portland
now at an ice facility, just like it they did
when they tried to make sure President Trump didn't win
the first time. Once again, it's the rubber bullets once again,
it's the sheer gas. Once again, it's an effort to
break into the ice facility nights after nights after night.
So as Portland police are dealing with that and the
federal police are dealing with that. Look who it's the
benefits car tells benefit frid of mine, who is a prayer.
Warrior has said to me, prayer is everything, and we
know as Christians that's praying is part of walking with
the Lord. And in a case like what just happens,
what else can we do? We can seek justice. We
could also reflect upon the fact that God allowed this
to happen, and that's very difficult to deal with, or
we could go the Democrats' way, which is to demonize
anybody who prays, which is absolutely on purpose because they
must distract from the issue at heart. The issue at
heart they want to make guns because this involved a
person who was gender defiance, so they have to make
it guns. The fact of the matter is this. They
can't defend the murderer, so they're going to defend the dynamic. Now,
at this point, none of us know if this was
done because this person identified as a woman. What fox
Dos is reporting is not only did he identify as
a woman, his mother helped fill out the paperwork for
the miner who had decided to pretend to be a woman.
And I absolutely pray for these parents. I can't imagine
their heartbreak, I can't imagine their sense of guilt, and
I pray the peace of the Holy Spirit upon them.
And I pray forgiveness, and I pray that they'll forgive themselves.
I pray that they've taken this to the cross. I
pray if there's anything else like this in their household,
they will examine it, because something was in their household,
and that was the Jezebel spirit, or if you like,
the enchantress. The enchantress is a demon that promises to
make you neither male nor female. And demons didn't go
away after Jesus came back to life and rejoined the world,
albeit in spirit form. At that point body you could
be touched as well, but now again fully a deity
with a body. They didn't give up. They didn't go away.
And I am not attempting to say this mother caused
this tragedy. She didn't. Her son was twenty three. He
decided to do these things. What I'm saying is that
she played along with a dangerous delusion. A psychoses it's
Nancy Pelosi's party is diving in to defend a transmurder crisis,
or to say it doesn't exist. No, it's more accurate
to say they're defending that. This is more accurate to
say that this is the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fray, I.
Speaker 5: Have heard about a whole lot of hate that's being
directed at our trans community. Anybody who is using this
as an using this as an opportunity to villainize our
trans community or any other community out there, has lost
their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating
out of a place of hate for anyone. We should
be operating from a place of love for our kids.
Kids died today. This needs to be about them. This
needs to be wrapping our arms around these families with
every bit of love that we can possibly show.
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, shove your hopes and prayers up here,
do you know what, Because that's what it is party saying.
That's Nancy Pelosi's party saying, shove your thoughts and prayers.
But yeah, let's not villify. It's fascinating to watch the
left come back to the point where kids matter. They
don't matter in the womb. They don't matter when they're
conded of believing they're born in the wrong body. They
don't matter when they're bullied into taking shots that can
mathematically have absolutely no opportunity to help them at all,
only to harm them. They don't matter that they don't
matter in a self inflicted porn crisis. They don't matter
when sexual predators have noticed that schools have become a
dream job for sexual predators because they are paid to
say to kids, Hey, don't tell your mom and dad,
I showed you those images of people having sex, and
certainly don't tell them that I showed you how to
do this or that with this or that sex toy.
Sorry to be blunt, So they're stepping in to pretend
there is no transmurder crisis, or in his case, pretend
to hatreds at them. Don't hate people who are gender defiant,
gender confused, gender rebellious, hate the sin that goes with this.
Hates what people are doing with this to propel this crisis,
because it's purposeful. We've talked about this going on almost
a decade on this program back in the Seattle radio days.
People laughed in our faces when we talked about this
being pushed this way and where it would end. This
young man was told he was a girl and then
a woman and the rest of the world was wrong.
Is that why he did these murders. I think there's
a lot more to it, but I think that's part
of it. Because it was certainly something that should have
been looked into. Wait, wait, wait, hold on, my son
thinks he's a girl. He's mentally ill. Wait we know
someone who thinks they're a girl a boy. That's a
mental illness. This is a break from reality. This person
does not understand reality. That should have been a call
for help, not a call for affirmation. And if you
don't step up to say, hey, no, you're not a girl,
why would you step up to say, hey, you know
those notebooks you're keeping and you're fascination with school shooters.
And I'm betting, I'm betting, and I've got my wife
to thank for turning me onto this so long ago.
I'm betting he was snacking on psychotropics SSRIs. I'm betting
we'll never hear that, but I bet that was the case.
So there's much more from Democrats on this front. As
Nancy Pelosi dives in to defend the transit crisis, they
had to make it about the guns. They're trying. It's
not working, Praise God, it's not working because guns can
do very, very useful things. You ask my friend Tim Krukshank,
founder and CEO Bonefrog Coffee, how useful guns were when
he was a Navy seal and medic attached to seal
teams defending the life of he and his teammates. Tim
continues to be a gun owner. He is now a
defensive gun owner. Oh, he'd turn it back on if
you had to go to war. He said that he'd
prefer not to. He prefers running a coffee company. It's

might be one, are you? Clearly they mean here to
confuse white supremacy. Now they can't do this with Foutsch
for a clear reason. Lots of black people go to
his shows. He's very welcome to the black community. So
they're trying to confuse the issue, thinking that the mind
addled readers of The Stranger are going to read Christian
supremacists to mean white supremacists. But I think I'm a
Christian supremacist, not because I think Christians are better people. No,
we're not. We have the same issues with sin that
other people do. The difference is this, Christians, having accepted
the Lord Jesus as the Lord and Savior and agree
to be changed by him, receive the Holy Spirit. The
Holy Spirit can convict us of things that we would
not otherwise be convicted of. We could go through a
process called sanctification where we become more and more holy,
more and more like Jesus. And in that way we
sin left less often, and when we do sin, we're
convicted by the Holy Spirit. That's a big difference maker.
But I think I am a Christian supremacist because of this,
because of what Jesus said. Jesus said he is supreme,
and Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth, and
the Life. And no one gets to the Father but
for me. Jesus is the supreme authority. He always was
and always is. He is and was God Almighty. He
created all things on heaven and earth, including the rules
that govern not just our society the Bible were supposed
to govern it, but also what govern our bodies, how
our bodies work. The designer of our bodies has said
that the following sex acts are not to be taken
lightly or engaged in. I won't list them all, but
we can go through categories if you like. This sort
of sex acts that occur in all too often in
same sex activity or in fornication between unmarried people. Some
of those sex acts can lead to harm and injury
and disease, and sex outside of marriage with a whole
bunch of people is almost certain to lead the disease.
The designer of our bodies knew this, and he loves
us and he doesn't want us to misuse our bodies.
Sean Fouysch may well be a Christian supremacist. And if
you believe the Lord Jesus is the way, the truth,
and the life and the only way to God, doesn't
that make us all Christian supremacists selling God's masterpieces at
bulk discounts. I am not against in vitro fertilization. I
am against selling God's creations at bulk discounts. I have
friends of mine who had to turn to in vitro
fertilization because they were unable to conceive children without it,
and they're the exact sort of people we want to
be parents. And they gave thoughts to doing this the
old fashioned way, because parental surrogacy is as old as Bible,
and in many cases in the Bible, people carried this
out through their own wishes and it turned out to
be Yeah, they got kids, but they also got themselves disasters.
This is not the new way of thinking. It's just
done at new scale and with new people, and done
with far less care for the kids who result in this.
In the Bible, will read about Abram before he became
Abraham being promised to have multiple multiple kids, and his
wife Sarah, who was very old, didn't think this was
going to happen. They got frustrated God's plan was not working.
He had his timing wrong. God was late. God is
never late, and his timing is never wrong. But that's
how they felt. So Sarah took it under herself to
allow Abram to lay with her handmaid, her servant, and
they conceived the child and the united the united nature
of the people at that time split. This is one
of the splittings of mankinds along the life lines. We
live with this to this day. That mistake. Now, the
life was a blessing, the son was a blessing. The
splitting of mankind continues to be a curse. It was
not God's plan. Now is it God's plan that there's
in vitual fertilization. I don't know. I know he said
to be fruitful and multiply. I know he allows us
to look into how our bodies are made. I know
he signed his work. I considered DNA to be God's
signed work. I consider it to be language. Well, because
it is. It's readable, it's understandable, it's repeatable, it's falsifiable.
It's language just like any other language. And I believe
it's God's beautiful signature. I believe the skies are a signature.
I believe the very outcome of our bodies are a signature.
And then I know the Bible tells us God made
us in his image. Therefore I know these things are
his signature. He also calls us his masterpiece. So I'm
not against in vitro fertilization. I'm not against surrogacy. I'm
against doing it in bulk, and particularly when it's being
done as people, for people who seem to be treating
kids as an accessory at them, like a line of
shoes or a series of purses, and they seem to
see that often. It also deeply concerns me that men,
and it's usually men who have no business being around
any kids at all, are allowed to purchase babies in bulk,
sometimes not in bulk, sometimes individually. So it's not that
I'm against the IVF, it's I'm against it in bulk.
This starts with me for a look at how our
bodies come together, how we're knit together in our mother's womb.
This is this is a time time lapse video of
us being knit together in our mother's womb. This is
a sixteen hour time lapse of an embryo forming its
spinal cords. And as you see the pieces begin to
come together, look at the structure, look at the plan
as it begins. That happens in the womb because DNA says,
here's how you build it, and you could track that
throughout the entire creation of a human being. So when
God said we are knit together in the womb, that
He's counted every hair in our heads. Christians have to
believe this. And if you're not Christian, you don't believe
in God. You need to explain to me this how
random mutation got us to that point and where we're
missing and how can we do not see all sorts
of transitional fossils, and why we don't see human beings
continuing to mutate. I know, billions and billions and billions
of beers. Again, you have no real transitional species to
go back and point to. At no point can you
point to a giraffe that had a short neck. They
didn't happen that way. Or a honeybee that couldn't fly backwards.
They've always had that ability. John MacArthur knew where he
was going when he died. And I want to ask
you a question, what percentage do you know? You one
hundred percent certain where you're going? Do you want to
be one hundred percent certain? Maybe you can say I
don't think anyone's ever one hundred percent certain where they're going.
You'd be wrong. John MacArthur knew where he was going.
And I can tell you my dad may not have known,
but I know where my dad went, and I experienced it,
and it was as real as this camera is in
front of my face or this microphone here what I experienced.
John MacArthur died a guy who'd given his life to Jesus.
And I've gotten notes from people saying, so you know
that he wouldn't even fire a staff member who had
this or that problem and this or that controversy, and
you'll still admire this guy. And didn't you put out
a video criticizing him for his take on civil disobedience? Yeah,
both those things are true. John MacArthur made a different decision,
but the staff member than I might have made, or
you might have made. And John MacArthur and I had
different views on civil disobedience in relation to COVID and
all the government actions relating to the elections, etc. And
John MacArthur served Christ these were not essential salvation issues.
John and I disagreed on. I have on my desk
at home the John macarthurs study Bible. John MacArthur on
a single day forgot more about the Bible than I'll
probably ever know. John MacArthur was an academic. He was
a theologian of the Old school who actually dove into
the Bible, and so it became an actual friend of him.
The Bible. He knew it that well. He died knowing
where he was going. And I want to ask you,
do you know where you're going? Alistair Begg another guy
disagree with on a key thing. I love his teaching.
I agree with them on most things, and funny thing,
I can still play his stuff and love it because
it's not a salvation issue. Alistair Begg talked about John
MacArthur and how he treated those he cared for.
Speaker 6: We pray that those words may not only stir our
hearts and comfort our souls, but direct our paths so
that we might be enabled to say with all who
wrote those words to me, to live is Christ and
to die is Gain. We thank you that it is
in the light of those words and that faith that
John MacArthur both lived and died. Each of us. As
we bow in prayer, our minds ranged to and fro,
and as we think, especially with the stentorin sounds of
his voice still ringing around this room, the pictures that
come to mind are clear. He as a servant of
Christ and a steward of the mysteries of God. He
a shepherd who moved among his people, sometimes seen in
a very public way, and then known in small and
in private ways, bearing testimony to the fact that he
did love those whose care was entrusted to him.
Speaker 1: MacArthur loves how by lying, nope, by courting anger and
lists of grievances. No John MacArthur loved. It seems as
God calls us to love a series of verbs. Things
we do or provide, patience, kindness, long suffering, and things
we don't do, neither pride, prideful nor angry, not keeping
lists of grievances. This is how God taught John MacArthur
to love, and it's how he teaches us to love,
and John MacArthur, going into death, knew exactly where he
was going. Are you ninety percent certain? What did MacArthur
do that led to this study? Okay, he studied the demons,
studied the Bible too. They might not even they might
even know better than John MacArthur did. He went to church. Okay,
there's a lot of people who go to church and
don't know for sure where they're going and they die,
so they go for insurance. If I go to church,
maybe we've got fifty to fifty shots. What does Jesus
tell us? Jesus says, I am the Way, the Truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father but
through me, so we know that there's that path. What
did God do? God sent his only son, to be
gotten son, so that all who believe in him will
be saved, not perish, but have eternal life. Well, there's
the steps. What did Jesus say in his ministry when
Jesus walked the earth before he became famous, and he
continued to do it after he was famous and well known?
But he said repent, repent, and be saved. The Kingdom
of Heaven is near now. He could mean that in
terms of time, that the Kingdom of Heaven is coming soon.
But he himself was the kingdom of heaven. So as
he walked through the streets, as he called people to himself,
the Kingdom of Heaven is near. In other words, you're
looking at the Kingdom of heaven. And I would ask
you do you want to know where you're going when
you die? This is Matt MacArthur.
Speaker 7: His last words to me or son, be faithful. He
then went on to say to me, whispering barely could
talk death, where is your sting? I feel no sting?
Grace has overpowered my sinful heart.
Speaker 1: What a gift? What a gift? John MacArthur knew where
he was going. Those are the words of a calm
man simply going to see his savior, something he knew
was going to happen to him. Death was not an ending.
It's a shifting of gears. And that's the case for
you too. We are eternal beings. You will exist after death.
The question is where the choice is yours. You can
do nothing and your choosing to be apart from God.
You can doubt, You can accept Jesus, you can agree
to be changed by him. You can work with him,
and in working with him, I predict the out will
be removed because you will experience his grace in vivid
ways as the Holy Spirit reveals to you. So I
hope you'll make your decision today to know where you're
going when you die. What's going on in our country
is the battle for the existence of the American economy
as a dominant force or as a subservient force. You
are on a precipice, and if you're about to retire,
if you're five to ten, even fifteen years from retirement,
you would really be a silly goose. That's a technical phrase,
a silly goose. If you didn't take Zach up on
his free opportunity to have a no obligation series of
meetings where he will give you a second opinion on
your retirement plan. You will end these three meetings understanding
what Zach thinks you are at where you're at in
terms of getting to retirement. Are you exposed to too
much risk? Are you being actively managed? Because active management
portfolios can reduce risk and volatility. So go find out.
