Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, I'm back.
Speaker 2: With something for you to think about.
Speaker 1: Oh. I have to tell some people about themselves today.
Speaker 1: I know you're not gonna lack it, but you will
Speaker 1: be all right. I know the truth hurts. I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to hurt you, but I am going to tell
Speaker 1: the truth. So many people in this world profess Christ,
Speaker 1: but it's a lie. Their hearts are far from him.
Speaker 1: I have been looking at some different videos on YouTube,
Speaker 1: and I am appalled.
Speaker 2: People are worshiping their pastors.
Speaker 1: They are elevating worship and praising their pastors and their
Speaker 1: church families.
Speaker 2: It's a fact. It's a fact.
Speaker 1: I understand when you have a pastor who is bringing
Speaker 1: the word, who is good at it and really seemed
Speaker 1: to be doing the right thing, but you still should
Speaker 1: not praise the warship your pastor. So many pastors have
Speaker 1: been individuals who started off with good intentions, but because
Speaker 1: they were praised their worship, they went off the rails.
Speaker 1: When they realized the money that they could get, they
Speaker 1: went off the rails.
Speaker 2: They changed.
Speaker 1: And I've been looking at several different pastors and I'm
Speaker 1: just watching. It's a shame away people worshiped and praised
Speaker 1: their pastors. Hey, there's nothing wrong with honoring a person.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with admiring a person. That's okay, and.
Speaker 2: That's that is that is.
Speaker 1: Something we do as humans. There is nothing wrong with
Speaker 1: loving your pastor. But when you start to worship and
Speaker 1: praise them and elevate them as if they're God, you're
Speaker 1: looking more to them than you are God. You're looking
Speaker 1: more to them than you are the Bible for yourself.
Speaker 1: You got a problem. You've tip the scale. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. People are worshiping their pastors. Your pastor is
Speaker 1: not going to get you into heaven. Worshiping him is
Speaker 1: gonna get you into Hell. I'm just telling you because
Speaker 1: I want you to get yourself together before it's too late.
Speaker 1: Your pastor cannot get you into heaven. They can pray,
Speaker 1: they can bring the Word. They can even usher you
Speaker 1: into Christ. You know, wanting to be saved. They can
Speaker 1: do that, but they can't save you. They gotta work
Speaker 1: on their own soul salvation. They can't save you. They
Speaker 1: can't save you no more than a cricket can save you.
Speaker 1: They can lead you to Christ, for sure, but they
Speaker 1: cannot save you. They cannot, So you are that's doing it.
Speaker 1: You better get yourself together because God is not please
Speaker 1: He's the only God, the only God. You should not
Speaker 1: be worshiping your pastors. I hear an airplane. If you
Speaker 1: hear that rumbling, that's what it is, and it is loud.
Speaker 1: You should not be worshiping your pastors. You should not
Speaker 1: be doing that. When you worship your pastor, you have
Speaker 1: lost focus. Some people never have focus, let's just be
Speaker 1: real about it. But when you worship your pastors, you
Speaker 1: have lost focus. And it is what happens when people
Speaker 1: have no roots, when they're just seeking and searching for someone. Well,
Speaker 1: God can give you the same thing. God can open
Speaker 1: your eyes.
Speaker 2: Read that word. Get close to God for yourself.
Speaker 1: Too many people go to church out of tradition and
Speaker 1: they get so connected to the pastors and their church
Speaker 1: families that they can't see when their pastors are leading
Speaker 1: them astray.
Speaker 2: You have pastors doing all kind.
Speaker 1: Of worldly things in church, dancing to boots on the ground,
Speaker 1: singing secular songs. Joe Rayton in church. I just saw
Speaker 1: a video of a woman with the church. What a
Speaker 1: blazer on that was it? I mean the blazer was well.
Speaker 2: Her thighs too.
Speaker 1: Now down her leg blazer, upper thigh blazer, just a blazer. Now,
Speaker 1: you know, you know that it's out of order, no
Speaker 1: conviction whatsoever. And I may have mentioned this before on
Speaker 1: another episode, but it's a pierce that no one said
Speaker 1: anything to her.
Speaker 2: No one said.
Speaker 1: Anything to her. She was up in the front of
Speaker 1: the church dressed like that. Of pure shame, a pair
Speaker 1: of shame. You can say what you want, you can
Speaker 1: believe what you want, but it's a pure shame. It's
Speaker 1: out of order. And I feel sorry for any person
Speaker 1: who think it's okay to go to church dressed inappropriately.
Speaker 1: Shame on the pastor of that church. Shame on the
Speaker 1: elders who allowed that woman to come into the church
Speaker 1: looking like that. I don't even care if it wasn't
Speaker 1: the church. If you're representing God in this particular place,
Speaker 1: you should still conduct yourself as holy. But this is
Speaker 1: what's going on in the churches today. All of the
Speaker 1: worldly things are being brought into the church. I even
Speaker 1: heard a man say, don't worry about what's going on
Speaker 1: in the church. Don't worry about what they're doing. If
Speaker 1: you're in there, it must be all right, So don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. Stop talking about it. That is crazy,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. That just lets you know that individual is
Speaker 1: still in the world too, because you should worry about it.
Speaker 1: Not worry, but you should be concerned about it. You
Speaker 1: should be concerned about walking in the church and you
Speaker 1: have a male in women's clothes and heels standing up
Speaker 1: on the praise team. You should have a concern about that.
Speaker 1: Something is wrong with you if you don't. And there
Speaker 1: is nothing wrong with the person being gay, if that's
Speaker 1: what they want to be, but I have a problem
Speaker 1: with them leading worship.
Speaker 2: No, you sit down in the congregation. You shouldn't be
Speaker 2: leading worship.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are gonna be angry
Speaker 1: at me over that, but we have to be accountable.
Speaker 1: If we're gonna make it to heaven. We have to
Speaker 1: tell the truth if we're gonna make it to heaven.
Speaker 1: That's out of order, all the things that's going on
Speaker 1: in church, selling things in the sanctuary. Don't you remember
Speaker 1: when when Jesus went into the temple and turn over
Speaker 1: the tables. He turned over the tables because they had
Speaker 1: all all those merchants in there selling. I'm seeing people
Speaker 1: selling in the sanctuary.
Speaker 2: That is out of order. It's completely out of order.
Speaker 2: Out of order it is. I know people don't like
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, but it's out of order.
Speaker 1: You should not be selling anything in the sanctuary. You
Speaker 1: should if you want to sell something, build a place
Speaker 1: next door, build a place next door for your cafes,
Speaker 1: your books, your book stores, your merch. You shouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing it in the sanctuary.
Speaker 2: That is wrong.
Speaker 1: So there is so much going on, and I have
Speaker 1: touched on a few things, but I want to go
Speaker 1: back to my original the reason for me making this episode,
Speaker 1: and that is how people have made their.
Speaker 2: Pastors their masters. They have elevated their pastors.
Speaker 1: They put them on these high pedestals, and they are
Speaker 1: worshiping and praising their pastors and their church family. That's
Speaker 1: why many people go to church because they enjoy the company.
Speaker 1: They enjoy the company, and they fall in love with
Speaker 1: their pastors. I'm not saying inappropriate love. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: they fall in love with their pastors. But they begin
Speaker 1: to praise and worship their pastors. That's not what God
Speaker 1: want you to do. He don't because you can never
Speaker 1: build that relationship with God if you're worshiping man. The
Speaker 1: Bible already tells us. To get to God, you got
Speaker 1: to go through his son, Jesus, because Jesus is the
Speaker 1: mediator between us and God. And in order to be saved,
Speaker 1: you must believe that Jesus is the Son of God,
Speaker 1: the son of God. Let me say it again, the
Speaker 1: son of God. So you have to believe that. So you.
Speaker 2: Should know if you read the Bible, that you don't
Speaker 2: worship no man. You don't praise no man.
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's okay to give a person their due,
Speaker 1: but when you worship in.
Speaker 2: Them, they are your reason for going to church. Oh,
Speaker 2: you messed up. You've messed up.
Speaker 1: When you make your pastor the only reason you go
Speaker 1: to church because you want to see him, you want
Speaker 1: to hear him. You have messed up because that should
Speaker 1: not be the case. Sure, go to church, enjoy your pastor,
Speaker 1: but when you start to praise and worship them, you've
Speaker 1: gone overboard. And that's just the truth. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: get the word and apply it to your life. You
Speaker 1: don't supposed to praise and worship the pastor. They don't
Speaker 1: supposed to be your main reason for going to church
Speaker 1: to see your church.
Speaker 2: Family and friends. Some of you love your church, family
Speaker 2: and friends more than you do your own family. I'm
Speaker 2: just telling you the truth. I'm trying to help someone,
Speaker 2: not hurt anyone.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to help someone because God should be your
Speaker 1: focus through his son Jesus Christ Romans ten and nine.
Speaker 1: Read it for yourself. A lot of you just really
Speaker 1: don't understand because you have not even been saved yet.
Speaker 1: You know some of you are saved, but you're not
Speaker 1: living the life. You're saved on Sunday. Well, that don't work.
Speaker 1: It means nothing to God. If you just saved on Sundays,
Speaker 1: it means nothing to God. And I'm telling you from
Speaker 1: the word it means nothing to God. So you better
Speaker 1: get it right before it's too late. Don't let the
Speaker 1: Lord say depart from me, you workers of iniquity, for
Speaker 1: I know you not. Don't let it be too late
Speaker 1: for you. Love your pastors, but do not worship your pastors.
Speaker 1: And if you're under someone who's allowing all of the
Speaker 1: world into the church, you better rethink where you're going
Speaker 1: because that pastor is not serving God. He's serving who
Speaker 1: he has made his God, but he's not serving the
Speaker 1: true and living God.
Speaker 2: Anytime you see.
Speaker 1: A pastor who is allowing the world come in. Anytime
Speaker 1: you see a pastor who's charging you for prayer, who's
Speaker 1: telling you, oh, use this water or this cloth or whatever,
Speaker 1: you have to buy it and it will heal you.
Speaker 2: You're under the wrong person. You're under the wrong person.
Speaker 1: Anytime you see your pastor and your pastor is drunk,
Speaker 1: how on weed, he is not serving God. Now I
Speaker 1: know some people don't like what I'm saying. Please reach
Speaker 1: out to me. Let's have a conversation about it, because
Speaker 1: you won't find it anywhere in the Bible, anywhere anywhere.
Speaker 1: The Bible tells us we are peculiar people. The Bible
Speaker 1: tells us there.
Speaker 2: Must be separation between us and the world.
Speaker 1: Tell you don't kill the messenger. I'm just telling you.
Speaker 1: You can live your life however you want, but just
Speaker 1: know that one day it's.
Speaker 2: Gonna be over for you.
Speaker 1: You will not get any more chances to do right,
Speaker 1: not one, not one. Stop worshiping these people because they
Speaker 1: have to stand before the same, the exact same God.
Speaker 2: That you will have to stand before one day. They
Speaker 2: can't save you.
Speaker 1: They can take your money, they can feed you lies,
Speaker 1: they can manipulate you, but they have no heaven or
Speaker 1: hell to put you in.
Speaker 2: I have no heaven or hell to put you in.
Speaker 1: I would love that everyone went to heaven, but we
Speaker 1: already know that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2: But you go where you choose.
Speaker 1: Now people think, oh, I go to church every Sunday,
Speaker 1: I'm going to Heaven.
Speaker 2: Know you're not.
Speaker 1: You have to walk that talk. You have to live
Speaker 1: that word. Not sometime, all of the time, all the time.
Speaker 1: You must live a life acceptable, acceptable in the eyes
Speaker 1: of God.
Speaker 2: Fucked. But how you live, Like I said, it's your choice.
Speaker 1: God has given you that choice.
Speaker 2: But just know that.
Speaker 1: There is no in between point blank the and I'm
Speaker 1: leaving it right there.
