WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:08.759
<v Speaker 1>How are we doing church. Oh yeah, we're gonna have

2
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>some fun. I want to speak in the next couple

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:22.679
<v Speaker 1>of minutes on crushing arguments against voting, Biblical citizenship, crushes

4
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 1>arguments against your excuses to not get involved. Well, I

5
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:39.719
<v Speaker 1>just don't think I'm going to vote this year. Goodness gracious, myrtle.

6
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>Number one, here's some excuses I don't think it's important

7
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 1>to vote. Okay, So let me address that one. Our

8
00:00:52.880 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>nation was founded upon justice, liberty, and dignity for each human.

9
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>These biblical values formed our union, and we're the foundation

10
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>of our constitution. We are a nation of laws under

11
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the law giver. We are called as a people to

12
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>enforce and uphold these principles through participation. The form of

13
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>government that we have is wonderful when we participate, but

14
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>it is extremely dangerous when the upright fail to engage

15
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 1>through voting participation. Now, listen to Romans thirteen four, King James,

16
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Romans thirteen six, and I want you to hear it.

17
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Just with it in mind that what we're doing is

18
00:01:51.840 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>we're moving God's choices forward. Because Romans thirteen four, for

19
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>he is the minister of God speaking of government, Government

20
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>is the minister of God to you for good. And

21
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I want you to just focus in on government is

22
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>the minister of God. I want you to see that.

23
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>And so when we vote, that's what we're pushing forward.

24
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>We're pushing forward. Actually, the ministry, the ministry of God

25
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>for the good of our communities, that's what we're pushing forward.

26
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 1>Look at verse six to this cause pay ye tribute,

27
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>King James, also for they are God's ministers.

28
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Why do we That's.

29
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Interesting Here we tithe because here we have a form

30
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>of God's ministry. We also pay taxes because that's a

31
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 1>form of God's ministry.

32
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>We pay tribute.

33
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 1>Because these in government are ministry of God. But none

34
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>of us want to give financially tribute to those who

35
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>are ministers of Satan. But it's our voting that makes

36
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 1>the difference. Are we going to pay tribute to ministers

37
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 1>of Satan? So it's our voting, it's our voting. It's

38
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>our voting that moves these principles forward. And we have

39
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 1>this tremendous privilege under a democratic republic. Number two, God

40
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>is sovereign. My vote won't change what he's about to do.

41
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>And I don't want to interfere with his sovereignty. God

42
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 1>is sovereign. He's gonna make oh whatever you know, God,

43
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>God sets in the leaders he wants. But the Word

44
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>says he doesn't do this without the participation of the

45
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 1>people of faith and without the participation of the prophetic word.

46
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Let me, let me, let me just look at these verses,

47
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and first I'll read this to you. Yes, yes, God

48
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>is sovereign, but his sovereignty is manifested through the leading

49
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 1>of the spirit upon the hearts of those who follow him.

50
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>So he's already talking to you about who to vote

51
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>for him, and that's how he exercises his sovereignty. He's

52
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 1>already convicting you. He's already leading you. He's already showing

53
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you who to vote for. And in that he's exercising

54
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 1>his sovereignty. For you to back away from participation by

55
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 1>faith in how he's leading you is actually to circumvent

56
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>his sovereignty, because he's moving through the hearts of his

57
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>people Amos three seven. Surely the sovereign Lord does nothing

58
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 1>without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. Now

59
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 1>that's old Testament, but you know what new Testament is.

60
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Revelation nineteen ten the testimony of Jesus in your heart,

61
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 1>the testimony of Jesus in the raima of his word

62
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 1>over you. Is the spirit of prophecy New Testament, isn't Oh,

63
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I got to find a prophet to tell me how

64
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to vote. Oh, the prophet and the spirit of the

65
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>prophet lives in me by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Because

66
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I've invited Jesus to be the lord of my life.

67
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 1>This is how he exercises his sovereignty. Is he speaks

68
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>to us, and then we partner with him to move

69
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the Promised landforward. Number three, there's not a perfect candidate.

70
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>That's true. There's not a perfect candidate. There's not a

71
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>perfect candidate for any of these positions, local or national.

72
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 1>There is not a perfect candidate. But I got news

73
00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 1>for you. There's not a perfect husband either. I haven't

74
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>met a perfect wife yet. There's not a perfect pastor. Well,

75
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I wish there was one, but there is a There's

76
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 1>not a perfect pastor. There's not a perfect school teacher.

77
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 1>But you're all going to send off your kids on

78
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 1>Monday back into instruction, whether it's Christian, private homeschooling. By

79
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>the way, if you're the homeschooling, queen of your home,

80
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 1>or king.

81
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.879
<v Speaker 2>You're not even perfect. Come on, wake up.

82
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>There's not a perfect one, right, He's the perfect one,

83
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.959
<v Speaker 1>and we keep getting transformed into his image. And so

84
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>that's not a good excuse. But there is clearly a

85
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>more godly platform. There is more godly candidates and those

86
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 1>who have sympathy and empathy toward the Christian biblical view

87
00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:00.519
<v Speaker 1>of liberty and of our constitutional values. And so that's

88
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>who we're going to vote for, and that's who we

89
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 1>want to move forward. Fourth excuse, Evil will prevail. Evil's

90
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 1>supposed to prevail. Evil should prevail because these are the

91
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 1>last days. Man. We should prepare for things to decline.

92
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.199
<v Speaker 1>We should prepare for this stuff because it's inevitable. Everyone.

93
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>We are now selling containers. You can get a twenty

94
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.720
<v Speaker 1>foot or a forty foot. Purchase yours right after service,

95
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>dig a hole in the ground, put it in there.

96
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Become a prepper with us. No, this is not kingdom.

97
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>This is not kingdom. This end time theology that is

98
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>prevalent in the church, that's causing us to disengage from culture,

99
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 1>causing us to throw away our faith, causing us to

100
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>watch more football.

101
00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Instead of prayer. Come on.

102
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>The average pastor in America praise seven minutes a day,

103
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.879
<v Speaker 1>the average Christian less than five. This kind of hopeless

104
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>theology is not the historical theology of the Church. The

105
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Church is an overcoming army, an overcoming machine. The Church

106
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 1>is called and it's been determined that we will tread

107
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:30.839
<v Speaker 1>upon serpents, scorpions, and all the power of the devil.

108
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.799
<v Speaker 1>And before I wax eloquent on my endtime theology and

109
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>get myself in mountains of postmillennial trouble, let me just

110
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>mention to you some other thoughts that I think we

111
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 1>should consider. First of all, Ephesians for eleven through thirteen.

112
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.320
<v Speaker 1>First of all, it searchs in verse eight, and it

113
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:53.879
<v Speaker 1>says that when he ascended, he distributed his gifts to men.

114
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>And then he names the gifts, and these we call

115
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>him office gifts. And he names the fivefold office gifts

116
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>apossible prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist, and he names those gifts,

117
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and then he says, these gifts will be given to

118
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.799
<v Speaker 1>the ecclesia, given to the church until we all come.

119
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:17.279
<v Speaker 1>We have the verse, until we all come into the

120
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>full stature of the mature man of that which belongs

121
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>to Christ. Is anybody at that level? Anybody walk on

122
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>water this morning, anybody pay your taxes by asking a

123
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>fish to pull it out of the bottom of the ocean.

124
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm just telling you a generation like that is coming.

125
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>But we are not that generation. And so for us

126
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.639
<v Speaker 1>to think, oh, yeah, the Lord's coming back, the Lord's

127
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.559
<v Speaker 1>he is coming back, but there are signs and symbols

128
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 1>in the Bible that tell us when, and this is

129
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>not the win. We are not the glorious Church. Now,

130
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 1>let me define the glory. The glorious church is in

131
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.799
<v Speaker 1>Ephesian chapter five. Can I define the glorious.

132
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Church for you?

133
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>It's without spot or wrinkle. Any spots or wrinkles in

134
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the church. Now the other symbol, I mean, I think things.

135
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:20.639
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee things are gonna warm up, heat up, and

136
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.440
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna get so good. It's gonna get so much gooder.

137
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Like you're gonna stop in at a church in Tacoma

138
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.159
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna feel like the one in Fife. You're

139
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna stop in a church in Federal Way and it's

140
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna feel like the one in five. If you're gonna

141
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>chop in a church in Seattle, and it's gonna feel

142
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.080
<v Speaker 1>like the one in five. You're gonna run back to

143
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Detroit and stop into a church and feel like it's

144
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 1>the one in Fife. Why Because it says, until we

145
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:46.039
<v Speaker 1>all come into the unity of the faith, of the

146
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.799
<v Speaker 1>full stature that belongs to the Sun. So all of

147
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.799
<v Speaker 1>this division and divisiveness, all of these doctrines of demons,

148
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:59.440
<v Speaker 1>all of this selfish ambition and pride, it's all going

149
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.919
<v Speaker 1>to be going away as he perfects the church and

150
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.759
<v Speaker 1>he washes out the spots and he irons out the wrinkles.

151
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Can I give you one more? Where's Israel at today?

152
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Where's Israel at today? Have you been to Israel ately?

153
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Most of the Jewish people are secular. Most of the

154
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Jewish people are secular. But I'm telling you there's a

155
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>promise before the Second Coming. It's not a post second

156
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>coming promise. The promise before the Second Coming is that

157
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 1>they will come in.

158
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:32.960
<v Speaker 2>They will be.

159
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 1>Grafted back in. And it says, and we have the verse.

160
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Can we go to it? Out of Romans chapter eleven.

161
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.039
<v Speaker 1>And I want you to work with me, because I

162
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:42.919
<v Speaker 1>don't want you to thinking I just need to get

163
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.320
<v Speaker 1>out of here. No, it's not a time for you

164
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>to get to heaven. It's a time for you to

165
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 1>work your tail off to get heaven on earth. This

166
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>is where God is taking the Church. He's taking the

167
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Church to heaven on earth, not getting you to heaven.

168
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.639
<v Speaker 1>And so look at that it talks about us. It says,

169
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:08.039
<v Speaker 1>if their rejection, God rejected Israel and he issued them

170
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 1>a divorce, but not fully. He left a stump. And

171
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>then we've been grafted into that stump. And it says,

172
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 1>if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, the Gentile nations,

173
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>what will their acceptance be for the world but life

174
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.919
<v Speaker 1>from the dead. I'm telling you that where we're headed

175
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>with the Church, as she becomes glorious, as we are

176
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>without spot and wrinkle, as we come into the unity

177
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of the faith, of the full stature of the Sun.

178
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:42.159
<v Speaker 1>We're headed into this place where the Jewish people Israel

179
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.600
<v Speaker 1>will be grafted back in. And if you think when

180
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>God turned to the Gentiles it was amazing, wait till

181
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>he brings the Hebrew people back in. It's going to

182
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 1>be like a resurrection from the dead to the entire earth.

183
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:05.799
<v Speaker 1>Has that happened, huh? Then I'm not worried about the

184
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:10.039
<v Speaker 1>Lord coming back today. Now I'm gonna live like he is,

185
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.559
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna plan like He wants me to be

186
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:17.919
<v Speaker 1>engaged in bringing heaven to earth. He wants me to

187
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.279
<v Speaker 1>live with faith and hope and victory. He wants me

188
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.159
<v Speaker 1>to bear witness of his kingship. He wants me to

189
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>believe in his glorious coming, in the Word, in the

190
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Kingdom of Heaven, in the expansion of such. And he

191
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.399
<v Speaker 1>wants me to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, the

192
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:45.159
<v Speaker 1>peace while she's reprobate, the peace of Jerusalem that will

193
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:49.080
<v Speaker 1>come as she comes back in the peace, as she's

194
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 1>sanctified the peace, as she rejoins the gentile Church, and

195
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:00.919
<v Speaker 1>we become one church with no dividing wall Ephesians II.

196
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>The dividing wall has been pulled down, and he is

197
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.080
<v Speaker 1>making us one new person, one new people that out

198
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>of every tribe, tongue, kindred, race, nation, and people, he's

199
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>bringing a glorious church. Jew and Gentile stand with me

200
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:28.279
<v Speaker 1>this morning. I say all of that because I don't

201
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:34.919
<v Speaker 1>want you using any excuses to not vote. We live

202
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>in a privileged land, a privileged nation, and our voting

203
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 1>is the most strategic part of the democratic republic, wherein

204
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 1>we can exercise our participation.

205
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.200
<v Speaker 2>To move.

206
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:05.879
<v Speaker 1>God given liberty, tutional freedom, biblical values forward by selecting

207
00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:14.639
<v Speaker 1>through initiative, through vote, selecting representatives and lawmakers, getting behind

208
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:19.559
<v Speaker 1>those that will continue to stand for what our founding

209
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:25.919
<v Speaker 1>fathers saw as a great nation with liberty and justice

210
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:26.399
<v Speaker 1>for all.

211
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.799
<v Speaker 2>I want you to leave here today.

212
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know there's a bunch in my tribe, but

213
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:36.399
<v Speaker 1>I want you to leave here today.

214
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Dwain Alan Wolfe.

215
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Nearly sixty six, guest speaker, October twenty third, coming right up.

216
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I want you to leave here today, texting, phoning, emailing,

217
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 1>social mediating every single human you know, encouraging them to vote,

218
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:06.320
<v Speaker 1>encouraging them about some of what you're learning, like Dave Larsen,

219
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>like Dave Olson, like Kelly Chambers. Right, I want you

220
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:16.799
<v Speaker 1>encouraging them with the confidence of oh, we can make

221
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>a difference, not only at the national level, but at

222
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:24.240
<v Speaker 1>the local level. We can make a difference and we

223
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:30.279
<v Speaker 1>can push values forward. Did you hear what Dave Olson said?

224
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 1>He said, not only are the parents rejoicing over the policy,

225
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:42.399
<v Speaker 1>the anti social media policy with phones in the gig

226
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Harbor School District. Not only are parents rejoicing, not only

227
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>are teachers rejoicing. Did you hear who's rejoicing?

228
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.879
<v Speaker 2>The students are thanking us. Huh.

229
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like a proverb. When the righteous are in rule,

230
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:04.960
<v Speaker 1>When the righteous reign, the people rejoice. When the wicked rule,

231
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:11.319
<v Speaker 1>the people grown, the people grown. Even the students are thankful.

232
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you everybody in our state is going to

233
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:22.599
<v Speaker 1>be thankful if we will rise up and encourage godly values.

234
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:28.119
<v Speaker 1>And I would rather say it as upright values. Try

235
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.400
<v Speaker 1>not to get too spiritual or religious outside of the

236
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:35.839
<v Speaker 1>context of this room. These are healthy values, These are

237
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:36.759
<v Speaker 1>upright values.

238
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I love what you know.

239
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:45.599
<v Speaker 1>I saw a little thing with Elon Musk yesterday and he's,

240
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's somewhere. He doesn't espouse to be a

241
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.160
<v Speaker 1>believer whatsoever, but he's somewhere, and he's like, what in

242
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:56.079
<v Speaker 1>the world. I'm being told that free speech is a

243
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>right wing thought. No, it's a constitutional thought. These things

244
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:09.720
<v Speaker 1>are not right wing, their constitutional liberties. Yes, So as

245
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>you think about your family, you think about your friends,

246
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 1>try to take I know, in this environment we use

247
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the word godly values, and you know it fits here

248
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:25.599
<v Speaker 1>and it makes sense, but try to strip your phrasing

249
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:30.079
<v Speaker 1>of Christian easee and try to get the wisdom from

250
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:35.880
<v Speaker 1>above to just use words that are more appealing to

251
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the unsaved heart. Amen, thought, we thank you for your

252
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>grace on us right now to make wisdom appealing, to

253
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:55.599
<v Speaker 1>make wisdom wise, to make wisdom popular, to make wisdom acceptable.

254
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>We just say, there's a grace on us today and

255
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:04.880
<v Speaker 1>on every person watching this stream to move forward with

256
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.559
<v Speaker 1>the wisdom from above, to talk about it, to share it,

257
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.799
<v Speaker 1>to make it appealing. We give you the praise for

258
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.880
<v Speaker 1>it in Jesus' name. And everybody said, on your way out,

259
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.880
<v Speaker 1>get the pastor's picks or the Pierce County picks, Pastor's

260
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 1>pixes for King County, the white vanilla one is for

261
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Pierce County. Get your platform comparison. And then one final thing. Tonight,

262
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Ladies night out is in this room. That means we're

263
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:40.480
<v Speaker 1>going to transform the room. We need about ten of

264
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:44.359
<v Speaker 1>you strong men to help us transform the room. Remove

265
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.799
<v Speaker 1>these chairs, set up some tables, work with the team.

266
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:49.880
<v Speaker 2>As we go.

267
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.920
<v Speaker 1>God, bless you, thanks for making this house amazing.

268
00:19:54.160 --> 00:20:00.039
<v Speaker 2>We love you.
