Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show,
based upon a really cool video of some young people
recognizing that they both know the Lord Jesus. Answer question,
what does it actually mean to know the Lord Jesus?
Kamal Harris Funk to test Rush has all the answers,
and what is social responsibility theory? And is it biblical?
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big
pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. From the High Mountains of
Free America here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made, and these
are the times to which God has decided who should live.
It's exciting to see young people beginning to express again
a love for the Lord Jesus. Now, I'll tell you
I live in an area of the country which is
the High Mountains of Free America, Idaho, and here people
ask themselves ask each other a pretty common question, where
do you go to church? Or even the phrase do
you have a church home. When we first moved here
and we were getting questions like that, it was very,
very refreshing because in the separate country of Seattle, that's
not a question people ask people find out you go
to church, they think you're weird. There's also this phrase
over here that is often used, and maybe it's an
evangelical circle thing. Do you know the Lord? Do they
walk with the Lord? How's your walk with the Lord.
It's a very different thing to know Jesus than to
have read about him or just put it this way.
Last week, I get to sit and interview a friend
of mine who's very far from Jesus, very very far
from Jesus. He's a good and moral man. He's a
kind man, he's a philanthropic man, he's a funny man.
God's blessed him with great, great, great and tell Jens
and I do believe the Lord is working through people
to bring this guy to himself. He's surrounded by too
many Christians who are far smarter than I am, and
it can't be accidental. His name is Greg Glassman. Greg
founded CrossFit, and he now works and has founded the
Broken Science Initiative to correct broken science that led to
some of the abuses we've all seen. Well, I'd read
plenty about Greg Glassman, I'd seen videos of Greg Glassman,
I'd read his work. I mean, and I'm talking hundreds
and hundreds of hours of his work. I'd passed a
test to be a CrossFit Level one certified coach the
online version. Because of the COVID lockdowns, I had to
do it that way. I didn't know Greg Glassman when
I found the gout a chance to meet it. He's
exactly the opposite of what I thought he'd be. He
is self effacing, he is funny, he is absolutely instantly
open to friendship, and he is a giver. He gives
of himself. Now, I'm not comparing to Jesus because Greig
doesn't know the Lord, but I'd read all about him.
People can read about Jesus and not know him. So
what does it actually mean to know the Lord. I'll
show you an example of people who know the Lord
through their emotions, and then I'll show an example of
someone who should know the Lord but doesn't, even though
she is a bishop. Here's some young people meeting each other.
Young guys doing an on the person or on the
street interview. Runs to this young woman and praise God,
they both know the Lord Jesus.
Speaker 3: No, women are not going to like the truth. But
the truth is there are fundamental differences between men and women.
Some of those fundamental differences make women better than men,
and some of those fundamental differences make men better than women.
Speaker 1: What are the fundamental differences that you're friends to me?
Speaker 3: Like, women are more adapted of passion, which I think
is the thing that makes us most human. Men are
more adapt to perseverance, which makes you successful in today's
day and age, which I think is it's a fallen
state of the world.
Speaker 4: Do you think the word of the day?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Are you contributing positively our negatively towards the fallen state?
And be honest, I hope positively because I'm following the
Lord Jesus Chris.
Speaker 5: So you know about the Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: They saved me. He got me out of the place
no one else could wait.
Speaker 6: So you know the Lord.
Speaker 1: I know the Lord.
Speaker 2: Does he know you?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? I speak to him every day. I hope he
knows me.
Speaker 2: That's pretty fire. I like that. That's base.
Speaker 6: That's dope.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1: Do you know the Lord?
Speaker 3: I'm so glad.
Speaker 1: To Okay, if you're watching the video, see the joy
of their face. If you're listening to the audio, you
hear it. Let's be very simple about it. I read
about Greg Glassman. I'd never met him. I met him
my friend out. He's warm. Oh he's tiny, by the way,
not a big dude, very very I was gonna say quiet,
but he's not very loud, very outspoken, but incredibly kind.
Knowing the Lord means this. You know his voice? Wait,
you've never heard the voice of Jesus? Yeah? Have his word?
Is his voice. When we're making decisions in the world,
we can do it based upon knowing the Lord. For instance,
would the Lord ever tell you take that thing that
doesn't belong to you? It's okay.
Speaker 2: Never?
Speaker 1: Would the Lord ever tell you no, go ahead, just
strike out an anger, just this one time.
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Would the Lord tell you to pursue a relationship outside
of marriage? No, what if it's your soulmate?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: You know the Lord's voice. Knowing the Lord is also
working with the Lord. You get to know people often
by working with them in ways that you can't otherwise.
For instance, how do they respond in times of massive stress?
Do they lose it? I can remember when I was
working in my first startup and we'd gotten venture capital funding,
and we were in the midst of a very very
important product launch, and things weren't working. We had done
a distribution deal with Real Networks at the time, big
big company, and their tech was blowing up. It wasn't us,
it was them. And I had the press coming at
me and partner's coming at me. So I made a
tough call. Shut down Real Networks, go straight over the Microsoft.
Make it one hundred percent Microsoft. Real Networks can come
and try to sue us. I remember afterwards getting a
phone call from a guy who I'd been lucky to
create as a mentor. I didn't create, but given as
a mentor. He called me and said, I learned something
about you today, what you don't fall apart. That's a
tough decision you made, and Real Networks is going to
be angry. He'd been a senior vice president there. I said,
I'll call Rob, will smooth it out. That's just business.
But in times where your faith will be really, really tested,
you're given an opportunity to rely on the Lord's voice.
Do you hear it? Would he ever suggest these things?
Knowing the Lord also means knowing his work. That's his voice.
There was a time when we had a fire alarm
in our house go off. My wife and I woke
up and I think it was psychosomatic, but I could
smell smoke. So I said to my wife, get dressed.
We're leaving, and just trying to respond quickly. The little
girl sleeping in the next room. My daughter was probably
below the age of three. She's sound asleep even if
this alarm is going off. I walked into a room
and said her name. She instantly woke up. I said,
get dressed. She started to get dressed. I'm not the Lord,
but she knew my voice. Knowing the Lord is having
walked with him. But we don't get to walk with him,
know but we get to read as others did. And
then there's this knowing the Lord comes through spending time
with people who've known him longer. For instance, I know
Greg Glassman, I count him as a friend. You know
who knows him better his wife. Now I don't know
Maggie as well as I know Greg, but she knows
Greg a lot better. To sit down and ask Maggie, hey,
I'm thinking about getting Greg a gift. What about this?
She could say, yeah, probably not, but she knows him.
Just as people who are more mature in the Lord
know him better than we do. This woman should know
the Lord. She doesn't. Her name is Karen Olivetto, and
listen to her. She talks about sin, and some things
she says here are very appealing. Well, unless you're listening
for the Lord's voice.
Speaker 5: Why is our standard of beauty so small? Why do
we fear instead of honor human diversity? As a person
of faith, there is only one word that sums up
the fractured nature of the human family. It's a word
we progress and Christians don't like to use, and especially
those of us who are queer. It's been used so
much against usk. I dare I use it today?
Speaker 4: I will.
Speaker 3: It's the S word.
Speaker 5: It's nothing less than sin. Hear this, It's nothing less
than sin that makes outcasts of siblings who aren't quite
like us. I know many of us have had the
word sin used against U psych club, but it's important
to reclaim what is sin? They simply put sins are
those actions that break relationships. Ironic, isn't it? Because the
word has been used against us to break relationship with us?
Speaker 2: Kate?
Speaker 1: So no, sin doesn't always break relationships. Sometimes sin creates
the relationship. There are people watching and or listening to
this who are in sinful relationships right now. But they're
in the relationships. Sin can create relationships. You can have relationships,
sexual relationships outside of marriage, and from that you can
have children. Now you have a relationship. Sin doesn't break relationships,
sometimes it creates it. Sin separates us from God. This
is why, of course, progressive so called Christians can say
that because sin separates us from God, they need to
obscure what sin means. And the so called bishop continues,
but I have to.
Speaker 5: Say that sin is anything that breaks relationship with God,
with others and with ourselves.
Speaker 1: Okay, so she says it breaks relationship with God, others
or ourselves. No, sin can affect relationship with others. I
have friends to this day who are married, and the
relationships began in sin. I've mentioned the fact that my
wife and I when we got together, we weren't discipled.
I was pretending to be an agnostic if I knew
God existed, but I was pretending to being agnostic because
it made me sound smart. I thought our relationship started,
and forgive me, it started sinfully. My wife and I
recognize this. Some of the greatest Christian friends I have
who serve the Lord Jesus and mightily some of them
with six kids. Their relationship started that way. Sin is
exclusively about falling short of God's expectations for us. His
glory will always fall short. Sin is also sometimes a choice,
an active decision to say no, God, I'm gonna do.
Speaker 5: It my way causes alienation and isolation. Make no mistake,
it's never love that sinful.
Speaker 1: It's never loved that's sinful. Love is one of the
most abused words in all the progressive Christianity. The Bible
defines love as a series of verbs, patience, kindness, seeking
to serve others or to be served some things that
you don't do. Don't be bostful, proud, don't be loud
or abusive, and there is a feeling that we have
right emotions. Look, you can have feelings for people outside
of marriage, and you could even construe that as love,
But the Bible says it's sin when you fornicate or
have adultery or involve yourself in same sex sexual activity. Yeah,
you can have the feelings. You can also really really
want to take the thing that doesn't belong to you
or lie for convenience sake. That sin. That lie may
not create a break in a relationship if you don't
get caught stealing. It might not create a break in
your family, et cetera. You see the way they have
to obscure this.
Speaker 5: Thy love is that which draws us closer to God
and closer to ourselves.
Speaker 1: No, love in a biblical sense is something that we
do when we're given the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit
is the device through which the person, that one part
of God, that personality of one God three personalities, is
what allows us to love at a biblical sense.
Speaker 5: Don't ever believe someone who tells you your love, which
seeks always to connect with and honor an is sinful.
Speaker 1: If your love seeks to connect with another in a
way that is forbidden in the Bible, you are drawing
that person into sin. You are separating that person from God.
God will not look pinely kindly upon you engaging in
separating one of his kids from himself.
Speaker 5: What is sinful is someone who tries to stop your loving.
What is sinful is making someone feel unworthy. What is
sinful is making someone feel like they're less than human
because they don't fit a certain norm or standard.
Speaker 1: There is not a moment in this presentation where the
bishop standing behind the pulpit uses the word of God
doesn't reference it. We can go to it's not good
that man is alone. Therefore God created woman a special
helper from man. By the way, that word is something
that God uses to describe himself. That helper word. We
can go to the description the Lord Jesus gave of
a man leaves his parents and clings on to his wife.
We can go to the description of one flesh. A
married couple is one flesh. We can go to the
description a biblical love is provided by the apostle Paul
or the fruit of the Spirit. We can do that,
but she doesn't. Now, it's just her wisdom, and human
wisdom is a fail Human wisdom will always fail. Fear
of the Lord is the beginning of true wisdom.
Speaker 5: Sin is insidious. Systems and institutions are sinful if they
seek to divide rather than unite us. That means political
systems that rest on winners or losers can be sinful.
Economic systems which divide us into classes and create chasms
between the haves and the have nots.
Speaker 1: No, they cannot be systems like that can be wrong.
They can be abusive. Sin is this. It is the
breaking of relationship between ourselves and God. It is to
act against God's will, sometimes on purpose, sometimes intentionally, sometimes
by slipping. It is that which can separate us from God.
They have to do it this way. One hand, young
people who know the Lord. On the other, a woman
who has neither never heard her voice or sadly pretends
to have heard it, when in fact she is choosing
to not listen. And none are so deaf as those
who refuse to hear the words of the Lord or
to know his voice. Story number two. It's still reverberating
that Kamala Harris is flunking tests where she has all
the answers. The fact that the media continues to insist
that this woman is the nominee should tell us so
very much about the world in which we live. Nominee
should mean something, just like presidents should mean something. This
past week, as we saw an American Israeli hostage murdered,
we watched as Biden slept on a beach in Delaware.
We watched as President Trump was taken to task for
going to Arlington because he was asked by the gold
Star Families to go to Arlington. They took the videos,
he didn't take him. His team didn't take him. He
was asked to go there, and he obliged. Kamala Harris
was asked to go there. Tim Waltz was asked to go.
They couldn't go because they can't go because Kamala Harris
cannot put herself next to the failure of the abby
Gate withdrawal in Afghanistan withdrawal which led to Abbygate, Tim
Waltz can't be around service people because it might be
that the veterans might come to him and say, why'd
you lie about your rank? Why are you stealing Valor
it might be that the gold star dads or moms
might go to him and say, why didn't you go fight?
Why did you quit the National Guard before we were deployed.
But it should absolutely flabbergasted us that a woman who's
given a multiple choice response, all she had to do
was choose answer CE and she could have passed this
thing do that even as we recognize the fact that
this woman is not the nominee, but she's done her job.
She has been black and female, and that is her job.
It's a pretty simple job, should be really really hard
to flunk, and yet Kamala Harris is figuring out ways
to flunk it. It should be a simple difference to explain.
This is the embarrassing smells you have in your room,
your business, your RV and what you wanted to smell like.
It should be a very simple thing to make that happen.
Now you can go through the house and maybe you've
done this. If you smoke, you go through and spray
the air cleansers. Or you do this in your car.
You're gonna drive people around, so you put in the
fake new car smell. I did this my wife when
she first wrote in the truck I bought a few
years ago, she said, you know that someone smoked in
this like, No, no one smoked in it. She says, no, Todd,
someone smoked in this truck. This is a smoker's truck.
So I had to go through this process of buying
this spray and then praying it through my heating system
and do this five or six times, and you know what,
that's all a mess. It should be really easy, and
it is. Go to edenprierdeals dot com, enter code Todd three.

Data Bash gives Kamala Harris multiple choice responses, and she
still fails this. But notice that during this entire time
period she continues to be black and female.
Speaker 7: Generally speaking, How should voters look at some of the
changes that you've made, that you've explained some of here
in your policy. Is it because you have more experience
now and you've learned more about the information? Is it
because you were running for president in a Democratic primary?
And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you're
saying now is going to be your policy moving forward?
Speaker 8: Dana, I think the most important and most significant aspect
of my policy perspective and decisions is mykay.
Speaker 1: Can we pause for a second. I will play this
later this week. But there is a professor he happens
to be black, who says that this isn't her thinking
on her feet, it's not her filling space, it's her
providing eloquence. He talks about her using triplets. True. Rhetorically,
there's something called the rules of threes and fives. People
consume information better that way. But this woman is thinking
she's providing filler sentences instead of saying um ummm. She's
gotten practice at saying but Dana, I think the important
And then she goes through these threes. Watch the powder.
Speaker 8: Values have not changed. You mentioned the Green New Deal.
I have always believed, and I've worked on it, that
the climate crisis is real.
Speaker 1: I've always believed, and I've worked on it, that the
climate crisis is real. See the construct. She is right now,
leaning back, trying to think. If you're watching the video
version of this, see how incompetent her team is. Jim Waltz,
who's being paid to be white and oofish, is sitting
next to her, but he is placed higher than her.
Now he's probably taller than her. But this is a
staging thing. They don't care about any of this. They
don't care about winning. She's been installed. I think that
they're supremely confident in their ability to rig this election.
Speaker 8: That it is an urgent matter to which we should
apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time.
Speaker 1: Pause again, we should create metrics for ourselves that include
holding ourselves to deadlines around time. That is a fancy
way of saying we should have deadlines. It's a busy
way of saying we have deadlines. There's nothing there. Anybody
who's ever worked on a smart goal gets this.
Speaker 8: We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act, we have
set goals for the United States of America and by extension,
the globe, around when we should meet certain standards for
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Speaker 1: As an example, she just repeated goals with deadlines of time.
Do you remember the original question? The original question was
about her values changing. Of course, she's not going to
answer the original question, because no politician is going to
answer a question like this. But what you were watching
is a great, big, huge mass of zeros.
Speaker 8: That value has not changed. My value around what we
need to do to secure our border. That value has
not changed.
Speaker 1: Except I've gone up and down walls. No walls. Now
you're back to wall. Now you're back to secure the border.
Speaker 8: I spent two terms as the Attorney General of California
prosecuting transnational criminal organizations violations of American laws regarding the
passage illegal passage of guns, drugs, and human beings across
our border. My values have not changed.
Speaker 1: Except for this. We can go get the footage of
parents who had their kids murdered by illegal immigrants who
were not supposed to be in the country. One guy's
kid was run over and then the killer ran over
him three times. Boy's name was Drew. Kamala Harris left
that person off. So even with multiple choice answers, all
she had to do was pick b She could have
moved forward. She has to use filler words and filler
thoughts because I truly believe Kamala Harris knows that there's
nothing there, There's nothing deep inside her facts. NewsBusters put
together a reel of some of the worst moments in
this hand picked interview.
Speaker 6: Do you think the President Biden at the moment he
certainly met the moment or hearing from some Republicans that
it was too political compared to what President Biden has
entered the March Madness chat.
Speaker 7: Cen n koy Wier is here quite good to see you.
What do you make of the President's bracket? Friends out?
Even Jack Smith can't resist a five dollars foot long,
new and exclusive CNN video of the Special Council at Subway.
I've spent time with Doug Mhoff By the way side, note,
I just have to get this in there because I
love this. The video that played before his speech, narrated
by their son. His ex wife produced it right. There's
a lot for President Biden to tout Americans don't seem
to be giving him the credit. Why is that and
what does he have to do to turn that around?
The former president falsely claimed that the vice president quote
happened to turn black for political reasons. You are the
only black woman right now serving in the US Senate.
What do you make of all this? Three of the
sitting justices were appointed by Donald Trump. Should any of
the justices recuse themselves? You were among the Democrats.
Speaker 1: And this is the woman with whom Kamala flunks an
interview when there's nothing there to that degree. Here's what
should frighten us. Kamala Harris is an intellectual and moral vacuum.
What do we know about vacuums. Nature abhors a vacuum.
You else abhors a vacuum, human morality, human intellect. It's
going to be filled with something. In the case of
Kamala Harris, it will be filled with whatever brings her
earthly power. Power she seems to think is permanent. But
I'm here to tell her, you only have the power
over us that God allows you to borrow. And Kamala,
when it violates the word of God, your orders violate
the word of God, watch how quickly we choose sides,
because I guarantee I'm not going to be violating the
word of God on your behalf story number three. There
is a phrase called the social responsibility theory, and it's
something that have been making the rounds in Google Search.
I've started to pay attention to what young people are
searching for because we've made this investment in time to
go work within the YouTube environment. Incidentally, we're gonna be
showing you some of our videos later this week. They
did super well. We had one video that I made walking.
I was hiking with my dog. It was a recovery
hike and it was I got this note that JFRFK
Junior had stepped out of the race, suspended his campaign
at endorse President Trump, and of course being in the business,
and man, I'm like, okay, I need to respond to this.
So I took up my phone, made a sixty second video,
recorded it and sent it to the team. Now that
was on I think Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It didn't
do much. Within a week, it got about two hundred
and fifty thousand views. Nut it's blown up our channel.
It's moved us well ahead of where we were in
terms of YouTube. In fact, help us triple our audience there,
and we're just getting started on YouTube. I make that
point because we're not doing this. I'm not doing this
because I want to work with Google. I'm doing this
because it's the number one video platform in the world
and young people are there. So I've started to pay
attention to what young people are searching for. I've made
the point before that they're searching for words about the
Lord Jesus, they're searching for faith. They're also searching something
called social responsibility. This is how study dot com talks
about social responsibility theory. The social responsibility theory is founded
on ethical practices. Now just read this as a Christian.
The social responsibility theory is founded on ethical practices. According
to the social resp responsible theory, before making a decision
or completing a task, one does ensure the decision or
act is ethically sound. This is especially true for the
decisions or actions that affect others. The theory is based
on the moral values that are common across society as
a whole. What most people believe is right or wrong.
It is every person's responsibility to behave in a way
that benefits society or act morally right or ethically right.
There are several assumptions of the social responsibility theory, including
that everyone should individually work for the good of society,
everyone's able to make a change for the better, and
one person can make the difference. A specisical example of
how social responsibility theory is impact in societies recycling. Recycling
gained populatity in the nineties has only grown since then.
Recycling has become a norm in many societies, with recycling
centers and services offered for communities. Most people believe recycling
is good as it helps society by reducing the amount
of trash and landfills. Recycling fulfills the obligation of social
responsibility theory for people completing an action based upon a
benefit to society. Okay, we'll talk about that in a second,
including that specific example. But is this biblical. I mean,
if you're paying close attention, you'd certainly see it's almost
certainly not. There's a pastor who does very, very well
in social media who tak talked about this. His name
is Chris Zanauer. You'll hear him in a second. I
do believe there's social responsibility companies or companies that are
socially responsible. Alan Soap is socially responsible. I'll tell you why.
It's a soap company with a value far greater than
the product. Their value is to employ people who the
party would rather see aborted, even after they're born. It's
named after Alan. Alan is thirteen years old. He's been
through about eighteen operations. Because of his placement on the
autism spectrum, he's essentially nonverbal, but not stupid. In fact,
he's a brilliant kid. Loves his minecraft, loves to invent
soap fragrances. He's the chief soap officer at Allan's so
Some of the fragrances you get to find there are
so unique because they come out of Alan's minds. His
mind things he remembers from brunches with grandma's cedarwood, jasmine
from a memory chess on his grandmother's had watermelon basil,
from his other grandma cooking brunch. This views were locked
into his mind. The soap is produced by a family
with three generations of soap making expertise. It's all natural,
it's made in America, and because of Alan's other health challenge,
he is very, very very sensitive. This is some of
the most gentle soap you'll ever have. When we started
working with Alan's, there was Alan and his dad working there.
His dad runs a place, Alan's a chief soap officer.
There's now Ian, Allen's brother, and a third employee also
also high in the autism spectrum. See Alan's is more
than soap. All lives really do matter. There go to
Alan Soaps dot com slash todd to get ten percent
off all their products. That's Alan Soaps dot Com slash
todd And yes, social responsibility. Sure, but how did this happen?
Because when Allan and his wife, or probably when John
and his wife had Alan, there was a first child
who had structural health problems, challenges, autism, and the doctors said,
let us kill the baby. They looked into the womb,
saw the structural challenges and said he's gonna have a
hard life. Let us murder them. You know what. They
didn't because God said you shall not murder. See, they
were socially responsible because God was their determining factor for
what morality means. Pastor Chris Zanara talked about social responsibility
and how it should be natural for Christians.
Speaker 4: I don't usually do this, but I'm going to say
the most important thing in the sermon right now. If
you promise you don't check out for the rest of it. Okay,
I'm gonna say the most important thing right now. Social
responsibility is the natural outworking of a Christ centered and
spirit empowered life. If you are living what we talked
about two weeks ago, the Christ centered, spirit empowered life.
The natural outpouring of that is taking responsibility for what
is happening in your society or social responsibility. Again, they
are linked together. If you are pursuing Jesus and you
are filled with his spirit, you have to be socially responsible.
You cannot view the world the same you did before
He renewed your life, before he gave you new life,
before he transformed your heart. Because when the spirit of
God is welling up insides you, there are certain kind
of problems that you can't just walk by anymore. When
the spirit of God is welling up inside you, there's
certain things that maybe you used to just turn your
head and be able to go by, that you can't
just turn a blind eye to anymore.
Speaker 1: Amen, it does change us when we let it. When
we let it. Social responsibility theory or socially responsible theory
out and social responsibility theory says things must be ethical
according to what it must be good for society, according
to whom. I have a truck that sometimes frustrates me.
It's got a little bit more tech in it than
i'd like. I made a phone call once on the road.
There's a great, great shop I use in North Idaho,
great shop Silver Lake Auto, by the way, and I
called Eric, one of the texts there. I know a
lot of the team there. I'm very very loyal when
I find a good business, I'm very loyal. I called
Eric and said, hey, there's just going on with my truck.
It seems like the back wheels are disengaged. And he goes, stop,
did you click that button again? Oh wait, what button? Todd?
You disengage the drive train. You gotta go back in
and get okay? Oh right, right, okay, Sorry Eric, Sorry,
and he laughs. See he knows the system of my
truck far better than I know it. I haven't taken
the time to get to know it. The people who
produce the truck know it far far better. You know
who's who knows us far better? God, So if you're
going to talk about something being ethical or good for society.
What's the best measure of that? You have to remove
yourself from it. Yes, there are things that are commonly good.
Don't steal. Hey, that's in the Bible. Don't covert your
neighbor's possessions. Hey, wait, that's in the Bible. Don't lie.
Hey wait, that's in the Bible. But then there's also this.
We are responsible for letting God change us. It is
one thing to have faith. The demons may not have faith,
but they know God exists. It's one thing to have faith.
God is good for me. God wants what's right for me.
It's another thing to say, I'm going to let God
change me. In James Chapter two, verses fourteen through twenty six,
we read this, what does it profit my brethren? If
someone he has faith but does not have works, can
faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked
and destitute of daily food, and one of you says
to them, depart and peace be warmed and filled, but
do not give them the things which are needed for
the body, what does it profit? Thus, also, by faith
itself it does not have works, is dead. That someone
will say you have faith and I have works. Show
me your faith with your works, and I will show
you my faith with my works. You believe there is
one God. You do well. Even the demons believe and tremble.
But do you want to know a foolish man that
faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham or Father
justified by works when he offered Isaac his own son
on the altar? Do you see that faith was working
together with his works? And by works in faith he
was made perfect and the scripture was fulfilled, which says
Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness,
and he was called the friend of God. You see
then that a man is justified by works, not by
faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified
by works when she received the messenger and sent them
out another way messengers and set them outdother way. For
as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith
without works is dead. Also. Now, of course we know
that the Lord Jesus taught that faith in him, accepting
him as the Lord Messiah, allowing him to change us.
That's the keys to redemption. It's a free gift. We
cannot earn what James is talking about here. Is a
measure of your commitment to seeing Jesus as Lord, repent,
accept him as Lord and savior. Then how do you
know you've done that? There's the intellectual I spoke the words.
Then there's pragmatic reality. I've allowed the Lord to change me.
The things I used to do. I no longer do
the things I desire to do, and yet I know
they're against the word of God. I don't do. Social
responsibility to one another has to have a measure. Ethics
has to have a measure. As for me, I choose
the measure to be the one who made us all.
I choose to measure that. By God Almighty, to me,
it's the only sensible metric. I guess I could quote
Kamala Harris. We should measure yourself with metrics, you know,
with time and such. Okay, the time is short. I
hope you made your decision. This is the Todd Hermann Shaw.
Please go be well, be strong, be kind, Please make
every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
