1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show, 2 00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,200 based upon a really cool video of some young people 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,519 recognizing that they both know the Lord Jesus. Answer question, 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,759 what does it actually mean to know the Lord Jesus? 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,000 Kamal Harris Funk to test Rush has all the answers, 6 00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:20,559 and what is social responsibility theory? And is it biblical? 7 00:00:22,839 --> 00:00:26,679 Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:34,520 pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. From the High Mountains of 9 00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:42,479 Free America here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 10 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made, and these 11 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,000 are the times to which God has decided who should live. 12 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,439 It's exciting to see young people beginning to express again 13 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,920 a love for the Lord Jesus. Now, I'll tell you 14 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,840 I live in an area of the country which is 15 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,400 the High Mountains of Free America, Idaho, and here people 16 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,120 ask themselves ask each other a pretty common question, where 17 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,719 do you go to church? Or even the phrase do 18 00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:18,719 you have a church home. When we first moved here 19 00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:20,680 and we were getting questions like that, it was very, 20 00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:24,599 very refreshing because in the separate country of Seattle, that's 21 00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:27,159 not a question people ask people find out you go 22 00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:30,280 to church, they think you're weird. There's also this phrase 23 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,359 over here that is often used, and maybe it's an 24 00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:36,000 evangelical circle thing. Do you know the Lord? Do they 25 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,920 walk with the Lord? How's your walk with the Lord. 26 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,159 It's a very different thing to know Jesus than to 27 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,680 have read about him or just put it this way. 28 00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:48,120 Last week, I get to sit and interview a friend 29 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,200 of mine who's very far from Jesus, very very far 30 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,560 from Jesus. He's a good and moral man. He's a 31 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,519 kind man, he's a philanthropic man, he's a funny man. 32 00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:00,359 God's blessed him with great, great, great and tell Jens 33 00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:03,840 and I do believe the Lord is working through people 34 00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:07,239 to bring this guy to himself. He's surrounded by too 35 00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:10,560 many Christians who are far smarter than I am, and 36 00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:14,319 it can't be accidental. His name is Greg Glassman. Greg 37 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,919 founded CrossFit, and he now works and has founded the 38 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,560 Broken Science Initiative to correct broken science that led to 39 00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:24,800 some of the abuses we've all seen. Well, I'd read 40 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,719 plenty about Greg Glassman, I'd seen videos of Greg Glassman, 41 00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:32,560 I'd read his work. I mean, and I'm talking hundreds 42 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,240 and hundreds of hours of his work. I'd passed a 43 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,360 test to be a CrossFit Level one certified coach the 44 00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:41,360 online version. Because of the COVID lockdowns, I had to 45 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,319 do it that way. I didn't know Greg Glassman when 46 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,840 I found the gout a chance to meet it. He's 47 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,360 exactly the opposite of what I thought he'd be. He 48 00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:55,599 is self effacing, he is funny, he is absolutely instantly 49 00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,240 open to friendship, and he is a giver. He gives 50 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,199 of himself. Now, I'm not comparing to Jesus because Greig 51 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,479 doesn't know the Lord, but I'd read all about him. 52 00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:09,879 People can read about Jesus and not know him. So 53 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,240 what does it actually mean to know the Lord. I'll 54 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,280 show you an example of people who know the Lord 55 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,199 through their emotions, and then I'll show an example of 56 00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:20,039 someone who should know the Lord but doesn't, even though 57 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,280 she is a bishop. Here's some young people meeting each other. 58 00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:26,599 Young guys doing an on the person or on the 59 00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:29,479 street interview. Runs to this young woman and praise God, 60 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,280 they both know the Lord Jesus. 61 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,759 Speaker 3: No, women are not going to like the truth. But 62 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,599 the truth is there are fundamental differences between men and women. 63 00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:38,280 Some of those fundamental differences make women better than men, 64 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:41,080 and some of those fundamental differences make men better than women. 65 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,919 Speaker 1: What are the fundamental differences that you're friends to me? 66 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 3: Like, women are more adapted of passion, which I think 67 00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:48,039 is the thing that makes us most human. Men are 68 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,199 more adapt to perseverance, which makes you successful in today's 69 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,759 day and age, which I think is it's a fallen 70 00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:55,639 state of the world. 71 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,199 Speaker 4: Do you think the word of the day? 72 00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely? Are you contributing positively our negatively towards the fallen state? 73 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,479 And be honest, I hope positively because I'm following the 74 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,240 Lord Jesus Chris. 75 00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:06,719 Speaker 5: So you know about the Lord Jesus Christ. 76 00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: They saved me. He got me out of the place 77 00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:09,199 no one else could wait. 78 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 6: So you know the Lord. 79 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,759 Speaker 1: I know the Lord. 80 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: Does he know you? 81 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,199 Speaker 3: Absolutely? I speak to him every day. I hope he 82 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:14,599 knows me. 83 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: That's pretty fire. I like that. That's base. 84 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 6: That's dope. 85 00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you. 86 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: Do you know the Lord? 87 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 3: I'm so glad. 88 00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: To Okay, if you're watching the video, see the joy 89 00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:27,319 of their face. If you're listening to the audio, you 90 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,839 hear it. Let's be very simple about it. I read 91 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,759 about Greg Glassman. I'd never met him. I met him 92 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:38,199 my friend out. He's warm. Oh he's tiny, by the way, 93 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,560 not a big dude, very very I was gonna say quiet, 94 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,240 but he's not very loud, very outspoken, but incredibly kind. 95 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,560 Knowing the Lord means this. You know his voice? Wait, 96 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,600 you've never heard the voice of Jesus? Yeah? Have his word? 97 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,680 Is his voice. When we're making decisions in the world, 98 00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:05,600 we can do it based upon knowing the Lord. For instance, 99 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,519 would the Lord ever tell you take that thing that 100 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,439 doesn't belong to you? It's okay. 101 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: Never? 102 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,519 Speaker 1: Would the Lord ever tell you no, go ahead, just 103 00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:18,480 strike out an anger, just this one time. 104 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 7: No? 105 00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:24,519 Speaker 1: Would the Lord tell you to pursue a relationship outside 106 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,759 of marriage? No, what if it's your soulmate? 107 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 7: No? 108 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: You know the Lord's voice. Knowing the Lord is also 109 00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:39,079 working with the Lord. You get to know people often 110 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,439 by working with them in ways that you can't otherwise. 111 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,040 For instance, how do they respond in times of massive stress? 112 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,000 Do they lose it? I can remember when I was 113 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,319 working in my first startup and we'd gotten venture capital funding, 114 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,680 and we were in the midst of a very very 115 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,560 important product launch, and things weren't working. We had done 116 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,680 a distribution deal with Real Networks at the time, big 117 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,720 big company, and their tech was blowing up. It wasn't us, 118 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,519 it was them. And I had the press coming at 119 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,560 me and partner's coming at me. So I made a 120 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,199 tough call. Shut down Real Networks, go straight over the Microsoft. 121 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,920 Make it one hundred percent Microsoft. Real Networks can come 122 00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:23,439 and try to sue us. I remember afterwards getting a 123 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,000 phone call from a guy who I'd been lucky to 124 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,720 create as a mentor. I didn't create, but given as 125 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:31,759 a mentor. He called me and said, I learned something 126 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,399 about you today, what you don't fall apart. That's a 127 00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:38,680 tough decision you made, and Real Networks is going to 128 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,480 be angry. He'd been a senior vice president there. I said, 129 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,959 I'll call Rob, will smooth it out. That's just business. 130 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,560 But in times where your faith will be really, really tested, 131 00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:53,959 you're given an opportunity to rely on the Lord's voice. 132 00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:57,439 Do you hear it? Would he ever suggest these things? 133 00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:01,759 Knowing the Lord also means knowing his work. That's his voice. 134 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,879 There was a time when we had a fire alarm 135 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,560 in our house go off. My wife and I woke 136 00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:09,759 up and I think it was psychosomatic, but I could 137 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,879 smell smoke. So I said to my wife, get dressed. 138 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,839 We're leaving, and just trying to respond quickly. The little 139 00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:18,040 girl sleeping in the next room. My daughter was probably 140 00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:21,800 below the age of three. She's sound asleep even if 141 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,759 this alarm is going off. I walked into a room 142 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,040 and said her name. She instantly woke up. I said, 143 00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:31,279 get dressed. She started to get dressed. I'm not the Lord, 144 00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:34,639 but she knew my voice. Knowing the Lord is having 145 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,680 walked with him. But we don't get to walk with him, 146 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,720 know but we get to read as others did. And 147 00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:45,120 then there's this knowing the Lord comes through spending time 148 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,480 with people who've known him longer. For instance, I know 149 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,000 Greg Glassman, I count him as a friend. You know 150 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,279 who knows him better his wife. Now I don't know 151 00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:58,000 Maggie as well as I know Greg, but she knows 152 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,319 Greg a lot better. To sit down and ask Maggie, hey, 153 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:03,199 I'm thinking about getting Greg a gift. What about this? 154 00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:07,040 She could say, yeah, probably not, but she knows him. 155 00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:10,040 Just as people who are more mature in the Lord 156 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,319 know him better than we do. This woman should know 157 00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:17,800 the Lord. She doesn't. Her name is Karen Olivetto, and 158 00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:21,720 listen to her. She talks about sin, and some things 159 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,639 she says here are very appealing. Well, unless you're listening 160 00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:28,240 for the Lord's voice. 161 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 5: Why is our standard of beauty so small? Why do 162 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:37,799 we fear instead of honor human diversity? As a person 163 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:42,120 of faith, there is only one word that sums up 164 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,159 the fractured nature of the human family. It's a word 165 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,600 we progress and Christians don't like to use, and especially 166 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,759 those of us who are queer. It's been used so 167 00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:54,759 much against usk. I dare I use it today? 168 00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:55,919 Speaker 4: I will. 169 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,039 Speaker 3: It's the S word. 170 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 5: It's nothing less than sin. Hear this, It's nothing less 171 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,840 than sin that makes outcasts of siblings who aren't quite 172 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,399 like us. I know many of us have had the 173 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:12,679 word sin used against U psych club, but it's important 174 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,080 to reclaim what is sin? They simply put sins are 175 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,679 those actions that break relationships. Ironic, isn't it? Because the 176 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,320 word has been used against us to break relationship with us? 177 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:25,799 Speaker 2: Kate? 178 00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: So no, sin doesn't always break relationships. Sometimes sin creates 179 00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:33,759 the relationship. There are people watching and or listening to 180 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:36,519 this who are in sinful relationships right now. But they're 181 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:42,720 in the relationships. Sin can create relationships. You can have relationships, 182 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,200 sexual relationships outside of marriage, and from that you can 183 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,120 have children. Now you have a relationship. Sin doesn't break relationships, 184 00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:57,080 sometimes it creates it. Sin separates us from God. This 185 00:09:57,159 --> 00:10:00,639 is why, of course, progressive so called Christians can say 186 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,039 that because sin separates us from God, they need to 187 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,080 obscure what sin means. And the so called bishop continues, 188 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,320 but I have to. 189 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,919 Speaker 5: Say that sin is anything that breaks relationship with God, 190 00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:14,679 with others and with ourselves. 191 00:10:14,799 --> 00:10:18,519 Speaker 1: Okay, so she says it breaks relationship with God, others 192 00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:25,960 or ourselves. No, sin can affect relationship with others. I 193 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,559 have friends to this day who are married, and the 194 00:10:29,639 --> 00:10:32,240 relationships began in sin. I've mentioned the fact that my 195 00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:35,919 wife and I when we got together, we weren't discipled. 196 00:10:36,759 --> 00:10:38,759 I was pretending to be an agnostic if I knew 197 00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:41,080 God existed, but I was pretending to being agnostic because 198 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,120 it made me sound smart. I thought our relationship started, 199 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,279 and forgive me, it started sinfully. My wife and I 200 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,200 recognize this. Some of the greatest Christian friends I have 201 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,279 who serve the Lord Jesus and mightily some of them 202 00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:01,320 with six kids. Their relationship started that way. Sin is 203 00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:07,879 exclusively about falling short of God's expectations for us. His 204 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,879 glory will always fall short. Sin is also sometimes a choice, 205 00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:14,519 an active decision to say no, God, I'm gonna do. 206 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 5: It my way causes alienation and isolation. Make no mistake, 207 00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:22,639 it's never love that sinful. 208 00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:27,799 Speaker 1: It's never loved that's sinful. Love is one of the 209 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,360 most abused words in all the progressive Christianity. The Bible 210 00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:38,200 defines love as a series of verbs, patience, kindness, seeking 211 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,159 to serve others or to be served some things that 212 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,480 you don't do. Don't be bostful, proud, don't be loud 213 00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:48,000 or abusive, and there is a feeling that we have 214 00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:55,639 right emotions. Look, you can have feelings for people outside 215 00:11:55,639 --> 00:11:59,240 of marriage, and you could even construe that as love, 216 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,440 But the Bible says it's sin when you fornicate or 217 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:09,159 have adultery or involve yourself in same sex sexual activity. Yeah, 218 00:12:09,159 --> 00:12:11,960 you can have the feelings. You can also really really 219 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,919 want to take the thing that doesn't belong to you 220 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,519 or lie for convenience sake. That sin. That lie may 221 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,000 not create a break in a relationship if you don't 222 00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:24,480 get caught stealing. It might not create a break in 223 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,039 your family, et cetera. You see the way they have 224 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:27,720 to obscure this. 225 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 5: Thy love is that which draws us closer to God 226 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,960 and closer to ourselves. 227 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,039 Speaker 1: No, love in a biblical sense is something that we 228 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,879 do when we're given the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit 229 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,240 is the device through which the person, that one part 230 00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:50,759 of God, that personality of one God three personalities, is 231 00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:53,000 what allows us to love at a biblical sense. 232 00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:57,519 Speaker 5: Don't ever believe someone who tells you your love, which 233 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,639 seeks always to connect with and honor an is sinful. 234 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: If your love seeks to connect with another in a 235 00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:10,759 way that is forbidden in the Bible, you are drawing 236 00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:14,720 that person into sin. You are separating that person from God. 237 00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:19,399 God will not look pinely kindly upon you engaging in 238 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,519 separating one of his kids from himself. 239 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,279 Speaker 5: What is sinful is someone who tries to stop your loving. 240 00:13:24,799 --> 00:13:27,679 What is sinful is making someone feel unworthy. What is 241 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,039 sinful is making someone feel like they're less than human 242 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:32,720 because they don't fit a certain norm or standard. 243 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,759 Speaker 1: There is not a moment in this presentation where the 244 00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:40,080 bishop standing behind the pulpit uses the word of God 245 00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:44,759 doesn't reference it. We can go to it's not good 246 00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:49,360 that man is alone. Therefore God created woman a special 247 00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:52,279 helper from man. By the way, that word is something 248 00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:56,000 that God uses to describe himself. That helper word. We 249 00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:58,720 can go to the description the Lord Jesus gave of 250 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,240 a man leaves his parents and clings on to his wife. 251 00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:04,960 We can go to the description of one flesh. A 252 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,000 married couple is one flesh. We can go to the 253 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,240 description a biblical love is provided by the apostle Paul 254 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,799 or the fruit of the Spirit. We can do that, 255 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:18,440 but she doesn't. Now, it's just her wisdom, and human 256 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,000 wisdom is a fail Human wisdom will always fail. Fear 257 00:14:23,039 --> 00:14:24,759 of the Lord is the beginning of true wisdom. 258 00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:29,559 Speaker 5: Sin is insidious. Systems and institutions are sinful if they 259 00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:32,799 seek to divide rather than unite us. That means political 260 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,279 systems that rest on winners or losers can be sinful. 261 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,279 Economic systems which divide us into classes and create chasms 262 00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:41,559 between the haves and the have nots. 263 00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: No, they cannot be systems like that can be wrong. 264 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,000 They can be abusive. Sin is this. It is the 265 00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:56,039 breaking of relationship between ourselves and God. It is to 266 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:01,720 act against God's will, sometimes on purpose, sometimes intentionally, sometimes 267 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,759 by slipping. It is that which can separate us from God. 268 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,559 They have to do it this way. One hand, young 269 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,039 people who know the Lord. On the other, a woman 270 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,919 who has neither never heard her voice or sadly pretends 271 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,440 to have heard it, when in fact she is choosing 272 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,080 to not listen. And none are so deaf as those 273 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,960 who refuse to hear the words of the Lord or 274 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,399 to know his voice. Story number two. It's still reverberating 275 00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:38,000 that Kamala Harris is flunking tests where she has all 276 00:15:38,039 --> 00:15:42,879 the answers. The fact that the media continues to insist 277 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,279 that this woman is the nominee should tell us so 278 00:15:45,399 --> 00:15:48,519 very much about the world in which we live. Nominee 279 00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:51,879 should mean something, just like presidents should mean something. This 280 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,559 past week, as we saw an American Israeli hostage murdered, 281 00:15:55,919 --> 00:15:59,360 we watched as Biden slept on a beach in Delaware. 282 00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:02,840 We watched as President Trump was taken to task for 283 00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:05,919 going to Arlington because he was asked by the gold 284 00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:09,159 Star Families to go to Arlington. They took the videos, 285 00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:11,559 he didn't take him. His team didn't take him. He 286 00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:13,960 was asked to go there, and he obliged. Kamala Harris 287 00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:16,200 was asked to go there. Tim Waltz was asked to go. 288 00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:20,240 They couldn't go because they can't go because Kamala Harris 289 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,399 cannot put herself next to the failure of the abby 290 00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:28,320 Gate withdrawal in Afghanistan withdrawal which led to Abbygate, Tim 291 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,799 Waltz can't be around service people because it might be 292 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,519 that the veterans might come to him and say, why'd 293 00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:37,039 you lie about your rank? Why are you stealing Valor 294 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,559 it might be that the gold star dads or moms 295 00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:42,039 might go to him and say, why didn't you go fight? 296 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,919 Why did you quit the National Guard before we were deployed. 297 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,159 But it should absolutely flabbergasted us that a woman who's 298 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,840 given a multiple choice response, all she had to do 299 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,559 was choose answer CE and she could have passed this 300 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,960 thing do that even as we recognize the fact that 301 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:07,119 this woman is not the nominee, but she's done her job. 302 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,400 She has been black and female, and that is her job. 303 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,480 It's a pretty simple job, should be really really hard 304 00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:16,000 to flunk, and yet Kamala Harris is figuring out ways 305 00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:19,559 to flunk it. It should be a simple difference to explain. 306 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,359 This is the embarrassing smells you have in your room, 307 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,640 your business, your RV and what you wanted to smell like. 308 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,880 It should be a very simple thing to make that happen. 309 00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:32,880 Now you can go through the house and maybe you've 310 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,480 done this. If you smoke, you go through and spray 311 00:17:35,519 --> 00:17:37,480 the air cleansers. Or you do this in your car. 312 00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:39,839 You're gonna drive people around, so you put in the 313 00:17:39,839 --> 00:17:42,920 fake new car smell. I did this my wife when 314 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,519 she first wrote in the truck I bought a few 315 00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:46,519 years ago, she said, you know that someone smoked in 316 00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:48,680 this like, No, no one smoked in it. She says, no, Todd, 317 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,200 someone smoked in this truck. This is a smoker's truck. 318 00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:54,160 So I had to go through this process of buying 319 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,039 this spray and then praying it through my heating system 320 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,720 and do this five or six times, and you know what, 321 00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:02,480 that's all a mess. It should be really easy, and 322 00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:06,400 it is.

They're the same device, but three versions of them. 325 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,240 Here's how hard this is. Open the box, take the 326 00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:19,319 box out, the three boxes, take the product out, plug 327 00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:22,759 it into the wall. That'll take you about a minute. 328 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,880 Three minutes after that, you're gonna smell the difference. Be 329 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,400 it in your business, your home, your RV, a car 330 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,880 that you need to fumigate, a boat you need to fumigate, 331 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,799 your kid's dorm rooms. That device will immediately begin to 332 00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:40,799 produce ozone and blow that into the air. Those O 333 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,839 three molecules have a magic quality to them. They bond 334 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,160 to the molecules that create bad smells, and they change 335 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,680 the molecular structure all of a sudden.

But notice that during this entire time 345 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,920 period she continues to be black and female. 346 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 7: Generally speaking, How should voters look at some of the 347 00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:37,160 changes that you've made, that you've explained some of here 348 00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:41,519 in your policy. Is it because you have more experience 349 00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:44,440 now and you've learned more about the information? Is it 350 00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:48,279 because you were running for president in a Democratic primary? 351 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,039 And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you're 352 00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:54,759 saying now is going to be your policy moving forward? 353 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 8: Dana, I think the most important and most significant aspect 354 00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:03,880 of my policy perspective and decisions is mykay. 355 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,799 Speaker 1: Can we pause for a second. I will play this 356 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,359 later this week. But there is a professor he happens 357 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,920 to be black, who says that this isn't her thinking 358 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,799 on her feet, it's not her filling space, it's her 359 00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:19,759 providing eloquence. He talks about her using triplets. True. Rhetorically, 360 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:22,559 there's something called the rules of threes and fives. People 361 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,000 consume information better that way. But this woman is thinking 362 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:33,119 she's providing filler sentences instead of saying um ummm. She's 363 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,599 gotten practice at saying but Dana, I think the important 364 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,920 And then she goes through these threes. Watch the powder. 365 00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:42,079 Speaker 8: Values have not changed. You mentioned the Green New Deal. 366 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,000 I have always believed, and I've worked on it, that 367 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,519 the climate crisis is real. 368 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,039 Speaker 1: I've always believed, and I've worked on it, that the 369 00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:56,319 climate crisis is real. See the construct. She is right now, 370 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,440 leaning back, trying to think. If you're watching the video 371 00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:03,880 version of this, see how incompetent her team is. Jim Waltz, 372 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,880 who's being paid to be white and oofish, is sitting 373 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,119 next to her, but he is placed higher than her. 374 00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:13,519 Now he's probably taller than her. But this is a 375 00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:16,640 staging thing. They don't care about any of this. They 376 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,440 don't care about winning. She's been installed. I think that 377 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,079 they're supremely confident in their ability to rig this election. 378 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 8: That it is an urgent matter to which we should 379 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,359 apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time. 380 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,079 Speaker 1: Pause again, we should create metrics for ourselves that include 381 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:44,480 holding ourselves to deadlines around time. That is a fancy 382 00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:48,079 way of saying we should have deadlines. It's a busy 383 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:53,559 way of saying we have deadlines. There's nothing there. Anybody 384 00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:55,680 who's ever worked on a smart goal gets this. 385 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 8: We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act, we have 386 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,319 set goals for the United States of America and by extension, 387 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,039 the globe, around when we should meet certain standards for 388 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,960 reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. 389 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: As an example, she just repeated goals with deadlines of time. 390 00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:17,119 Do you remember the original question? The original question was 391 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,319 about her values changing. Of course, she's not going to 392 00:22:21,319 --> 00:22:23,799 answer the original question, because no politician is going to 393 00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:26,480 answer a question like this. But what you were watching 394 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,519 is a great, big, huge mass of zeros. 395 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 8: That value has not changed. My value around what we 396 00:22:35,279 --> 00:22:37,599 need to do to secure our border. That value has 397 00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:38,359 not changed. 398 00:22:38,279 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: Except I've gone up and down walls. No walls. Now 399 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,240 you're back to wall. Now you're back to secure the border. 400 00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 8: I spent two terms as the Attorney General of California 401 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:53,079 prosecuting transnational criminal organizations violations of American laws regarding the 402 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,519 passage illegal passage of guns, drugs, and human beings across 403 00:22:56,559 --> 00:22:59,200 our border. My values have not changed. 404 00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,519 Speaker 1: Except for this. We can go get the footage of 405 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:10,000 parents who had their kids murdered by illegal immigrants who 406 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,799 were not supposed to be in the country. One guy's 407 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,240 kid was run over and then the killer ran over 408 00:23:16,319 --> 00:23:21,799 him three times. Boy's name was Drew. Kamala Harris left 409 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:27,759 that person off. So even with multiple choice answers, all 410 00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:29,880 she had to do was pick b She could have 411 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,559 moved forward. She has to use filler words and filler 412 00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:35,799 thoughts because I truly believe Kamala Harris knows that there's 413 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:41,799 nothing there, There's nothing deep inside her facts. NewsBusters put 414 00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,880 together a reel of some of the worst moments in 415 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,400 this hand picked interview. 416 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 6: Do you think the President Biden at the moment he 417 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,319 certainly met the moment or hearing from some Republicans that 418 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,079 it was too political compared to what President Biden has 419 00:23:56,319 --> 00:23:58,079 entered the March Madness chat. 420 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 7: Cen n koy Wier is here quite good to see you. 421 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,039 What do you make of the President's bracket? Friends out? 422 00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:05,920 Even Jack Smith can't resist a five dollars foot long, 423 00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:09,599 new and exclusive CNN video of the Special Council at Subway. 424 00:24:09,799 --> 00:24:12,200 I've spent time with Doug Mhoff By the way side, note, 425 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,640 I just have to get this in there because I 426 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,920 love this. The video that played before his speech, narrated 427 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,599 by their son. His ex wife produced it right. There's 428 00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:24,640 a lot for President Biden to tout Americans don't seem 429 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,079 to be giving him the credit. Why is that and 430 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,799 what does he have to do to turn that around? 431 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,400 The former president falsely claimed that the vice president quote 432 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,759 happened to turn black for political reasons. You are the 433 00:24:35,759 --> 00:24:38,799 only black woman right now serving in the US Senate. 434 00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:40,359 What do you make of all this? Three of the 435 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,200 sitting justices were appointed by Donald Trump. Should any of 436 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,680 the justices recuse themselves? You were among the Democrats. 437 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:53,759 Speaker 1: And this is the woman with whom Kamala flunks an 438 00:24:53,799 --> 00:25:00,559 interview when there's nothing there to that degree. Here's what 439 00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:06,960 should frighten us. Kamala Harris is an intellectual and moral vacuum. 440 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:16,240 What do we know about vacuums. Nature abhors a vacuum. 441 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:24,480 You else abhors a vacuum, human morality, human intellect. It's 442 00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:27,640 going to be filled with something. In the case of 443 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,839 Kamala Harris, it will be filled with whatever brings her 444 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,000 earthly power. Power she seems to think is permanent. But 445 00:25:36,079 --> 00:25:39,759 I'm here to tell her, you only have the power 446 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,960 over us that God allows you to borrow. And Kamala, 447 00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:48,400 when it violates the word of God, your orders violate 448 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,279 the word of God, watch how quickly we choose sides, 449 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,839 because I guarantee I'm not going to be violating the 450 00:25:55,839 --> 00:26:01,680 word of God on your behalf story number three. There 451 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:07,759 is a phrase called the social responsibility theory, and it's 452 00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:10,559 something that have been making the rounds in Google Search. 453 00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:13,680 I've started to pay attention to what young people are 454 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,880 searching for because we've made this investment in time to 455 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,079 go work within the YouTube environment. Incidentally, we're gonna be 456 00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:21,960 showing you some of our videos later this week. They 457 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,720 did super well. We had one video that I made walking. 458 00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:29,039 I was hiking with my dog. It was a recovery 459 00:26:29,079 --> 00:26:33,880 hike and it was I got this note that JFRFK 460 00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:36,240 Junior had stepped out of the race, suspended his campaign 461 00:26:36,279 --> 00:26:38,599 at endorse President Trump, and of course being in the business, 462 00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:40,279 and man, I'm like, okay, I need to respond to this. 463 00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:43,279 So I took up my phone, made a sixty second video, 464 00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:46,200 recorded it and sent it to the team. Now that 465 00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:48,519 was on I think Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It didn't 466 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:51,000 do much. Within a week, it got about two hundred 467 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,200 and fifty thousand views. Nut it's blown up our channel. 468 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,640 It's moved us well ahead of where we were in 469 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,079 terms of YouTube. In fact, help us triple our audience there, 470 00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:05,039 and we're just getting started on YouTube. I make that 471 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,359 point because we're not doing this. I'm not doing this 472 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,960 because I want to work with Google. I'm doing this 473 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,359 because it's the number one video platform in the world 474 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,559 and young people are there. So I've started to pay 475 00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:17,559 attention to what young people are searching for. I've made 476 00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:19,519 the point before that they're searching for words about the 477 00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:23,119 Lord Jesus, they're searching for faith. They're also searching something 478 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,400 called social responsibility. This is how study dot com talks 479 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,079 about social responsibility theory. The social responsibility theory is founded 480 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,720 on ethical practices. Now just read this as a Christian. 481 00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:41,160 The social responsibility theory is founded on ethical practices. According 482 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,240 to the social resp responsible theory, before making a decision 483 00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:47,960 or completing a task, one does ensure the decision or 484 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,839 act is ethically sound. This is especially true for the 485 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,200 decisions or actions that affect others. The theory is based 486 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,799 on the moral values that are common across society as 487 00:27:56,799 --> 00:27:59,640 a whole. What most people believe is right or wrong. 488 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,519 It is every person's responsibility to behave in a way 489 00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:06,880 that benefits society or act morally right or ethically right. 490 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,319 There are several assumptions of the social responsibility theory, including 491 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,680 that everyone should individually work for the good of society, 492 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,160 everyone's able to make a change for the better, and 493 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,680 one person can make the difference. A specisical example of 494 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,920 how social responsibility theory is impact in societies recycling. Recycling 495 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,480 gained populatity in the nineties has only grown since then. 496 00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:29,720 Recycling has become a norm in many societies, with recycling 497 00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:33,720 centers and services offered for communities. Most people believe recycling 498 00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:35,960 is good as it helps society by reducing the amount 499 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,440 of trash and landfills. Recycling fulfills the obligation of social 500 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,640 responsibility theory for people completing an action based upon a 501 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:48,559 benefit to society. Okay, we'll talk about that in a second, 502 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,400 including that specific example. But is this biblical. I mean, 503 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,920 if you're paying close attention, you'd certainly see it's almost 504 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,960 certainly not. There's a pastor who does very, very well 505 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,880 in social media who tak talked about this. His name 506 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,559 is Chris Zanauer. You'll hear him in a second. I 507 00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:07,759 do believe there's social responsibility companies or companies that are 508 00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:12,319 socially responsible. Alan Soap is socially responsible. I'll tell you why. 509 00:29:12,359 --> 00:29:15,240 It's a soap company with a value far greater than 510 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,400 the product. Their value is to employ people who the 511 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,599 party would rather see aborted, even after they're born. It's 512 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,000 named after Alan. Alan is thirteen years old. He's been 513 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,160 through about eighteen operations. Because of his placement on the 514 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,400 autism spectrum, he's essentially nonverbal, but not stupid. In fact, 515 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,880 he's a brilliant kid. Loves his minecraft, loves to invent 516 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,880 soap fragrances. He's the chief soap officer at Allan's so 517 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,039 Some of the fragrances you get to find there are 518 00:29:47,079 --> 00:29:49,640 so unique because they come out of Alan's minds. His 519 00:29:49,799 --> 00:29:56,000 mind things he remembers from brunches with grandma's cedarwood, jasmine 520 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,079 from a memory chess on his grandmother's had watermelon basil, 521 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,160 from his other grandma cooking brunch. This views were locked 522 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,000 into his mind. The soap is produced by a family 523 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,079 with three generations of soap making expertise. It's all natural, 524 00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:13,680 it's made in America, and because of Alan's other health challenge, 525 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,480 he is very, very very sensitive. This is some of 526 00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:20,720 the most gentle soap you'll ever have. When we started 527 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,839 working with Alan's, there was Alan and his dad working there. 528 00:30:24,359 --> 00:30:26,680 His dad runs a place, Alan's a chief soap officer. 529 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,480 There's now Ian, Allen's brother, and a third employee also 530 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,160 also high in the autism spectrum. See Alan's is more 531 00:30:36,319 --> 00:30:39,240 than soap. All lives really do matter. There go to 532 00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:41,680 Alan Soaps dot com slash todd to get ten percent 533 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,240 off all their products. That's Alan Soaps dot Com slash 534 00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:49,640 todd And yes, social responsibility. Sure, but how did this happen? 535 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,400 Because when Allan and his wife, or probably when John 536 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,759 and his wife had Alan, there was a first child 537 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:02,160 who had structural health problems, challenges, autism, and the doctors said, 538 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,240 let us kill the baby. They looked into the womb, 539 00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:08,480 saw the structural challenges and said he's gonna have a 540 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,839 hard life. Let us murder them. You know what. They 541 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,359 didn't because God said you shall not murder. See, they 542 00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:20,440 were socially responsible because God was their determining factor for 543 00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:25,680 what morality means. Pastor Chris Zanara talked about social responsibility 544 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,559 and how it should be natural for Christians. 545 00:31:27,599 --> 00:31:29,119 Speaker 4: I don't usually do this, but I'm going to say 546 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,720 the most important thing in the sermon right now. If 547 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,920 you promise you don't check out for the rest of it. Okay, 548 00:31:35,559 --> 00:31:39,359 I'm gonna say the most important thing right now. Social 549 00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:43,200 responsibility is the natural outworking of a Christ centered and 550 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,000 spirit empowered life. If you are living what we talked 551 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,640 about two weeks ago, the Christ centered, spirit empowered life. 552 00:31:50,759 --> 00:31:54,240 The natural outpouring of that is taking responsibility for what 553 00:31:54,359 --> 00:31:59,319 is happening in your society or social responsibility. Again, they 554 00:31:59,359 --> 00:32:02,920 are linked together. If you are pursuing Jesus and you 555 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,400 are filled with his spirit, you have to be socially responsible. 556 00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:10,359 You cannot view the world the same you did before 557 00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:13,400 He renewed your life, before he gave you new life, 558 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,200 before he transformed your heart. Because when the spirit of 559 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,119 God is welling up insides you, there are certain kind 560 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,240 of problems that you can't just walk by anymore. When 561 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,839 the spirit of God is welling up inside you, there's 562 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,640 certain things that maybe you used to just turn your 563 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,000 head and be able to go by, that you can't 564 00:32:32,039 --> 00:32:33,759 just turn a blind eye to anymore. 565 00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:39,319 Speaker 1: Amen, it does change us when we let it. When 566 00:32:39,319 --> 00:32:44,319 we let it. Social responsibility theory or socially responsible theory 567 00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:47,279 out and social responsibility theory says things must be ethical 568 00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:53,480 according to what it must be good for society, according 569 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:59,880 to whom. I have a truck that sometimes frustrates me. 570 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,599 It's got a little bit more tech in it than 571 00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:06,720 i'd like. I made a phone call once on the road. 572 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,359 There's a great, great shop I use in North Idaho, 573 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,480 great shop Silver Lake Auto, by the way, and I 574 00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:15,039 called Eric, one of the texts there. I know a 575 00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:17,279 lot of the team there. I'm very very loyal when 576 00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:20,359 I find a good business, I'm very loyal. I called 577 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,680 Eric and said, hey, there's just going on with my truck. 578 00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:29,759 It seems like the back wheels are disengaged. And he goes, stop, 579 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:37,160 did you click that button again? Oh wait, what button? Todd? 580 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,880 You disengage the drive train. You gotta go back in 581 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,519 and get okay? Oh right, right, okay, Sorry Eric, Sorry, 582 00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:45,039 and he laughs. See he knows the system of my 583 00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:47,799 truck far better than I know it. I haven't taken 584 00:33:47,839 --> 00:33:50,599 the time to get to know it. The people who 585 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,480 produce the truck know it far far better. You know 586 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,920 who's who knows us far better? God, So if you're 587 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,680 going to talk about something being ethical or good for society. 588 00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:03,240 What's the best measure of that? You have to remove 589 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,759 yourself from it. Yes, there are things that are commonly good. 590 00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:10,159 Don't steal. Hey, that's in the Bible. Don't covert your 591 00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:13,480 neighbor's possessions. Hey, wait, that's in the Bible. Don't lie. 592 00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:16,800 Hey wait, that's in the Bible. But then there's also this. 593 00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:24,840 We are responsible for letting God change us. It is 594 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,360 one thing to have faith. The demons may not have faith, 595 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,559 but they know God exists. It's one thing to have faith. 596 00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:35,679 God is good for me. God wants what's right for me. 597 00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:38,400 It's another thing to say, I'm going to let God 598 00:34:38,519 --> 00:34:43,360 change me. In James Chapter two, verses fourteen through twenty six, 599 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,119 we read this, what does it profit my brethren? If 600 00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:50,440 someone he has faith but does not have works, can 601 00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:54,079 faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked 602 00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:56,440 and destitute of daily food, and one of you says 603 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,280 to them, depart and peace be warmed and filled, but 604 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,039 do not give them the things which are needed for 605 00:35:01,079 --> 00:35:04,599 the body, what does it profit? Thus, also, by faith 606 00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:07,559 itself it does not have works, is dead. That someone 607 00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:09,480 will say you have faith and I have works. Show 608 00:35:09,519 --> 00:35:11,280 me your faith with your works, and I will show 609 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,280 you my faith with my works. You believe there is 610 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,079 one God. You do well. Even the demons believe and tremble. 611 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,960 But do you want to know a foolish man that 612 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,440 faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham or Father 613 00:35:23,639 --> 00:35:26,239 justified by works when he offered Isaac his own son 614 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,119 on the altar? Do you see that faith was working 615 00:35:29,159 --> 00:35:31,320 together with his works? And by works in faith he 616 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,280 was made perfect and the scripture was fulfilled, which says 617 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,039 Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness, 618 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,079 and he was called the friend of God. You see 619 00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:43,239 then that a man is justified by works, not by 620 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,039 faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified 621 00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:49,639 by works when she received the messenger and sent them 622 00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:52,360 out another way messengers and set them outdother way. For 623 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,760 as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith 624 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,400 without works is dead. Also. Now, of course we know 625 00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:01,880 that the Lord Jesus taught that faith in him, accepting 626 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,960 him as the Lord Messiah, allowing him to change us. 627 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,440 That's the keys to redemption. It's a free gift. We 628 00:36:08,519 --> 00:36:12,400 cannot earn what James is talking about here. Is a 629 00:36:12,639 --> 00:36:19,000 measure of your commitment to seeing Jesus as Lord, repent, 630 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,960 accept him as Lord and savior. Then how do you 631 00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:28,199 know you've done that? There's the intellectual I spoke the words. 632 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:35,079 Then there's pragmatic reality. I've allowed the Lord to change me. 633 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,400 The things I used to do. I no longer do 634 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,079 the things I desire to do, and yet I know 635 00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:45,480 they're against the word of God. I don't do. Social 636 00:36:45,559 --> 00:36:49,639 responsibility to one another has to have a measure. Ethics 637 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,599 has to have a measure. As for me, I choose 638 00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:55,719 the measure to be the one who made us all. 639 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,159 I choose to measure that. By God Almighty, to me, 640 00:36:59,599 --> 00:37:03,199 it's the only sensible metric. I guess I could quote 641 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,679 Kamala Harris. We should measure yourself with metrics, you know, 642 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:11,199 with time and such. Okay, the time is short. I 643 00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:14,280 hope you made your decision. This is the Todd Hermann Shaw. 644 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,840 Please go be well, be strong, be kind, Please make 645 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,239 every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
