We'll 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,879 talk about this all with the help of them Know 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,239 Your Risk podcast dot com. That sach Abraham is looking 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,359 up for my retirement could look out for yours, and 9 00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:27,640 thank you to God Almighty. 10 00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:33,719 Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big 11 00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:41,439 pharma technocrats in tyrone s everywhere from the high mountains 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,640 of Free American Here's the Emerald City exile. 13 00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:54,719 Speaker 1: Todd Herman. Today is the day the Lord has made, 14 00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:56,600 and these are the times to which God is the 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,359 sad we shall live. This requires little bit of a setup. 16 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,759 I want to show you what it looks like to 17 00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:07,719 be a godly and manly sheriff in the separate country 18 00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:10,159 of Washington State. But it requires a little bit of 19 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,519 context settings so that you understand how extraordinary this actually is. 20 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,000 Because if you live in a sane state, you're gonna 21 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,640 look at this and go so what. So you have 22 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,079 to understand the context of what the separate country of 23 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,480 Washington is. Context number one is they're setting up a 24 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,359 legal edifice to be able to economically separate themselves from 25 00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:34,200 the federal government. Now conservatives can listen to that, go sweet, okay, 26 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,040 pursue it legally. They're trying to do this to establish 27 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,760 themselves as a full on separate country where Washington State 28 00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:44,799 citizens do not contribute to federal taxes, and they're already 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,040 cut off from the federal government in terms of drug legalization, immigration, 30 00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:53,519 environmental policy. They have the ability of Seattle residents to 31 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,760 print their own ballots at home. They can change where 32 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,400 their votes count without having to move. It is so 33 00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:05,120 divorced from what America is supposed to be on just 34 00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:09,680 about every front, even on a cultural front. There was 35 00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:13,599 a case in Seattle where an illegal immigrant rammed this 36 00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:17,199 vehicle into ice agents. And this was last June. This 37 00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:21,560 was before the media, Mockingbird media and others decided to 38 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:23,800 try to light the fuse on this another They've successfully 39 00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:26,599 done that. They've lit the fuse and it went in 40 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,120 front of a Seattle jury. This is part of the 41 00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:31,599 context setting as you get ready to hear from this 42 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,000 godly Manly Sheriff Roe jury. 43 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,159 Speaker 3: In Seattle has acquitted a man accused of assaulting federal 44 00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:40,759 agents during an immigration arrest last summer. King five Savannah 45 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,120 Welch joins us live from the newsroom with the latest 46 00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:45,199 on this case. Savannah, can you bok us through what 47 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:45,759 happened here? 48 00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:49,319 Speaker 4: Well, Madeline. Twenty five year old Victor vivanco Reyes was 49 00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:52,879 charged with four felonies after a chaotic run in with 50 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,199 federal agents. DHS says he's an undocumented Mexican national and 51 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,879 had an immigration warrant issued and may based on his 52 00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:00,759 criminal history. 53 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,479 Speaker 1: So just to be clear, King five News is a 54 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,439 race hustling network that was say there is very clever 55 00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:11,960 and very slick and very subtle. DHS says, well, there 56 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,599 are the legal papers you could look at. There are 57 00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:17,919 the judicial rulings. They don't say this, this is what's 58 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,439 reflected in the legal paperwork that they like to leave 59 00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,680 it that way. It's what DHS says. They never do 60 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,080 that when it's leftist politicians. It's just stated as the truth. 61 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:27,000 Back to the piece, he. 62 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 4: Was previously convicted of a felony back in twenty nineteen. 63 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:33,520 Since then, he's had just one misdemeanor conviction on just 64 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:37,240 one his record. This video shows the arrest and happened 65 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,199 back on June sixth on a remote Comino Island road. 66 00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:44,599 Court documents show federal agents surveil levonco Reez for weeks. 67 00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,080 They first tried to arrest him in Mount Vernon, but 68 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,879 he got away about two weeks later. 69 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,879 Speaker 1: Okay, so evading a law officer by the way is 70 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,919 also a crime, just one misdemeanor. 71 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: They used a helicopter to track him to a job 72 00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:58,919 site on Komano Island. That was where he was working 73 00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,240 as a landscaper. Agents on the ground surrounded him as 74 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,680 he tried to drive away in a company truck, calling 75 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,759 a lawnmower, crashing into their vehicles. He was arrested moments later. 76 00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:11,080 Two agents suffered minor injuries. 77 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,919 Speaker 1: In this minor they say she gets to make that decision. 78 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 4: Prosecutors say he used his truck as a dangerous weapon 79 00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:20,519 while trying to escape. King five spoke with his partner 80 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:22,560 when all this happened. When he was detained. 81 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,399 Speaker 1: She said they didn't have time to go out and 82 00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:26,439 speak at the partners of the law enforcement agents who 83 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,720 were lucky to be alive as a. 84 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,199 Speaker 4: Son, and she was pregnant with their child at the time, 85 00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:33,120 calling the arrest devastating for their family. 86 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: So this is the way they play the game in Seattle, 87 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,600 there's a government playing the game. They shield people like this. 88 00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:42,319 They will not charge illegal immigrants with DUIs. They'll charge 89 00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:46,279 you with the dui if you're an American citizen. They 90 00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:49,600 will get them snuck out of jail so dhis agents 91 00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:51,879 can't find them. They allow the cartels to operate in 92 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,399 the open. This is just part of the setup to 93 00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:59,160 you seeing a godly sheriff and what this godly sheriff 94 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,560 does him, this godly sherif you're going to meet, imagine 95 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,839 if he had an interaction with Don Lemon going into 96 00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:09,439 churches to disrupt services. Yeah, let's do that side by 97 00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:11,959 side as well. I'll set some more context and you'll 98 00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:14,920 see this sheriff in a second, because it's important. This 99 00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:18,199 requires a bit of context. You could be young, you 100 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,959 could be super active, and suddenly you're not a friend 101 00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:24,560 of mine who just absolutely blew up his back, not 102 00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,279 even weightlifting, and he is as amazing as strong a 103 00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:30,279 person's ever me simply doing stuff around the house. Blew 104 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:33,959 it up. This past weekend. So he's out. He's out 105 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:36,079 of being able to do anything related to CrossFit. He's 106 00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:37,839 out of being able to do anything related to skiing 107 00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:40,680 or hunting, some of the things he loves. He's out. 108 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,519 This can happen when you're young. Now he's being told 109 00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:46,560 it's going to be surgery. He's listened to my program 110 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,360 for enough time to know that I work with Renewed Healthcare, 111 00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:52,160 and this is the context. There are people telling him 112 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,079 you could get the stem cell treatments that herman gets 113 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,160 up here. You can't. It's very simply this. Do you 114 00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:59,480 want three day old sushi from a gas station or 115 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,439 do you want friends sushi fish taken out of the 116 00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:05,920 tank in front of you and dispatched and then cut up. 117 00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:09,399 That's the difference. At renew Healthcare, the stem cells come 118 00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:11,519 from people they know. They monitor the health of the 119 00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:15,000 women and the child during and after pregnancy. They reject 120 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,040 eighty to ninety percent of the stem cells. Then they 121 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,480 use a world class lab lab, a Level four lab, 122 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,519 one step below a biocontainment lab for things like abola, 123 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,240 and they culture the stem cells that are potent enough 124 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,839 to be used. My friend may not have to have 125 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,680 surgery he may be back at it in a number 126 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,800 of weeks. He's gonna send them their MRI. They're gonna 127 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,639 tell him. So if you're being told it's back surgery 128 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,519 or knee surge or acal surgery or one of the 129 00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:42,120 people who blew up your knees skiing and you'd like 130 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,040 to be able to ski again, go to renew r 131 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,800 E n ue dot Healthcare. Tell me part of the 132 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,000 Todd Hermannshaw family. It's renewed r E n ue dot Healthcare. 133 00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:52,680 Last bit of context before we get to the sheriff. 134 00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:58,639 The people in Washington State want to allow Washington State 135 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:04,120 to decertify and remove elected officials at will. Now, there 136 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,160 are people voting against this. In fact, it's twelve thousand, 137 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,680 eight hundred and seventy three against this versus about one 138 00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:14,600 eight hundred and seventy one people in favor of this. 139 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,240 And it wasn't a Senate Republican poll. It was actually 140 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,160 a media poll that is published here. Eighty seven point 141 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,240 one percent do not want this. What the politicians in 142 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,639 Washington State are trying to do is make sure that 143 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,439 in order to be a sheriff, the legislature has to 144 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,079 prove your candidacy. So in order for one person to 145 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,920 run for office, a bunch of other people need to 146 00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:36,920 say they're allowed to run for office. There's a reason 147 00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:39,639 that they're panicked, and that's because there are sheriffs like 148 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,079 Sheriff Keith Swank in Pierce County who will not play 149 00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:47,279 the game of what the party wants done there. The 150 00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:50,040 party wants illegal immigrants running loose. The party wants the 151 00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:53,800 cartels free to traffic people and to sell drugs. The 152 00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:57,279 party wants bankrupt or, wants a vagrancy laws not enforced. 153 00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,519 They want homeless cans everywhere. They want it to be 154 00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:02,879 legal to vandalize someone's property. They want minor assaults to 155 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,199 be legal. They want and I mean this juvenile drive 156 00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:11,839 by shooting assailants. They want them let out on their 157 00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:15,160 own recognizance. This is the Washington state they want. Here 158 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,439 is a godly, manly sheriff who will not play the game. 159 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,680 His name is Keith Swank. 160 00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:22,959 Speaker 5: Some of my colleagues naively believe that they can come 161 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,959 here in reason with you. They don't understand what's at 162 00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:29,839 stake here. They don't understand you like I do. You're 163 00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:32,720 going to pass this qualification bill for law enforcement, but 164 00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:37,279 you won't hold yourselves accountable. Therefore, I propose everyone who 165 00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:40,000 runs for an elected office go through a background check, 166 00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:45,600 a social media review, a polygraph, a psychological test. But Democrats, 167 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,080 you won't agree to that because you have convicted felons 168 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,440 who are elected officials. Here I represent almost a million people, 169 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,960 more than all of you combined. Here, many more people. 170 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,039 I was an elected chief of police, being sheriff of 171 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,519 Pierce County, much more than police work. Citizens reach out 172 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,600 to me all the time regarding over each of the 173 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,960 government by you. Some say they finally have a voice 174 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,600 because of me, and you want to silence it. Because 175 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,919 I said, transgender women are men. I said the truth. 176 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,639 You want to give unelected bureaucracy the ability to decertify 177 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,440 me and remove me from office because you don't agree 178 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,440 with my speech. Just for the record, my deputies don't 179 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,559 wear masks, but once you pass this law that they can't, 180 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,200 I will not only allow them, but I will encourage 181 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,039 them to do so, just to see what you do. 182 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,799 I don't recognize your authority to impose these controls over me. 183 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,360 And when you try to remove me from office, thousands 184 00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:43,159 of Pierce County residents will surround the county city building 185 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:46,440 and downtown Tacoma and will not allow that to happen. 186 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,559 I hope it doesn't come to that, but I and 187 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,759 they are prepared. Are you prepared? Finally, anyone who votes 188 00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,799 for this will never have an audience with this sheriff. 189 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,639 Speaker 6: Thank you. Could I have you identify yourself for the record. 190 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,720 I'm sorry, that is not what we dRIT public hearings, 191 00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:05,759 and you will be asked to be removed if that 192 00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:08,240 continues the class the sheriff. For the record, we do 193 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,279 need you to identify yourself by name. I'm sorry. Can 194 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,600 I have you come to that at the mic so 195 00:10:13,639 --> 00:10:15,000 we can capture that information. 196 00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 5: My name is Keith Swank, Pearce County Sheriff. 197 00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 6: Thank you so much. 198 00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. By the way, when you're there 199 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,120 and you want to drink water, it's from a rainbow cup. 200 00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:31,279 That's just a little dig at people like Keith Swank. 201 00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:34,879 So a manly and godly sheriff stands up to an 202 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,679 ungodly woman in an ungodly state. And now this question, America, 203 00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:42,159 are we going to get away from elected sheriffs and 204 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,279 other counties because even in relatively conservative areas like North 205 00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:49,639 Idaho where I live. There are attempts to do away 206 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,919 with the elected sheriff position. Why because it's a direct 207 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,759 result of what people want. There is one office, sheriff 208 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,759 with one job to enforce the laws. It's a very 209 00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:03,759 easy vote. Is this person an experienced law enforcement officer? 210 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,240 Will they enforce the laws? Will they keep public safety? 211 00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:10,120 They don't get to hide behind politics. This is why 212 00:11:10,159 --> 00:11:14,000 the politicians want to seize it. Now, imagine Don Lemon 213 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,519 going to try to pull what he and some activists 214 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,440 pulled in the state of Mini Minnesota where they went 215 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,320 into a church and Don Lemon is saying, oh, I 216 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,600 didn't know weird because it seems like he was interviewing 217 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,840 the people who did this before they did this. Imagine 218 00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:32,600 him having to deal with a sheriff like Keith Swank. 219 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,559 This is the beginning of what's going to happen here. 220 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,279 Speaker 7: When you violate people's due process, when you pull people 221 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,440 off the street and you start dragging them and hurting 222 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,320 them and not abiding by the constitution. When you start 223 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,240 doing all of that, people get upset and angry. And 224 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,320 if you remember what the civil rights movement was about. 225 00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:58,039 The civil rights movement was about these very kinds of protests, 226 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,320 and there's nothing in the constitution that tells you what 227 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,440 time you can protest. You can protest at anytime. That's 228 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,480 the whole point of it is to disrupt, to make uncomfortable. 229 00:12:08,039 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: That's actually not true. There is such a thing as 230 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,639 trespassing on private property, and that church is owned by 231 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,320 a church association. It is administered by and struarded by 232 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,080 the congregants through a group of elders and a pastor. 233 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,440 It's private property. A sheriff like Keith Swink, if you 234 00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:28,440 got a trespassing call for something like this, I think 235 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,799 would come along and help people make a decision to leave. 236 00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:33,000 I don't want to see that in a house of worship. 237 00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:35,000 I don't want to see people drug out of a 238 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,399 house of worship. I also do not want to bow 239 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,200 down to people who believe it's their right to force 240 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,600 you to listen, just like the legislator there. Do you 241 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,879 think she really needed Keith Swank to state his name 242 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,240 or do you think she really just wanted to lord 243 00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:51,320 her power over him. I can make you turn around, 244 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,639 I can make you come back, I can make you 245 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,919 speak into the microphone. Oh and by the way, I 246 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,720 see that you were up here testifying and needed a 247 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,279 couple water. I can make you drink out of a 248 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,000 rainbow cup. Be interesting to see what happens when more 249 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,159 jurisdictions try to get rid of an elected sheriff. Story 250 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,399 number two, the Great AI Robbery. I'm going to show 251 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,440 you some apparent AI applications, and I'm going to make 252 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,120 a suggestion to you. My wife and I were talking 253 00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:23,120 about this. It's the creation of safe words. No pervert, 254 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,200 not that court sort of safe word, a safe word 255 00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:29,519 in regard to being the one communicating with your loved ones. 256 00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:32,320 And by the way, if you're in business and you 257 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,960 do any video calls, you ever have video conferences or 258 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,600 call people on FaceTime or whatever application you use for that, 259 00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:43,799 you should probably have a safe word. You should probably 260 00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:46,200 tell some things, tell people some things you will never do, 261 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,600 or places from which you will never call. Because this 262 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,600 technology is so potent, it's going to make it super 263 00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:55,759 easy for some people to do some super easy thieving. 264 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,080 By the way, Grandma and Grandpa, you ever call them 265 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,879 through video, lease warn them. Please get the safe words 266 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,879 tapes to their screens, and please make it something that 267 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,799 easy to guess. I've got mine from my wife. I'm 268 00:14:08,799 --> 00:14:10,039 not going to tell you what it is, and there's 269 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,759 no way you're gonna guess. The only person who could 270 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,840 possibly guess would be our daughter, and it would be 271 00:14:14,919 --> 00:14:18,639 a long shot. Wait until you see these things. Make 272 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,440 sure that you get the Juniorine article.

He has a new blend. It's 277 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,639 the Spirit of seventy six. It just became available and 278 00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:39,279 Tim is a huge patriot. He is a retired Navy seal. 279 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,840 He did three deployments on our behalf as a medica 280 00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:45,000 attached to the seal teams. He was a BUDS instructor. 281 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,840 He works with veteran owned companies whenever he can. He 282 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,559 sent two of his guys last year to become Navy seals, 283 00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:53,720 just like he did, and you better believe he gave 284 00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:55,840 him a lot of tips as a former Buds instructor. 285 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,720 So this coffee comes with a beautiful image of Paul 286 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:02,279 Revere riding through the streets remembering what he said about 287 00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:05,120 the British coming to if by Sea, and Tim went 288 00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:08,919 full bore on the coffee. It's a balance, beautifully balanced. 289 00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:12,159 It's a dark roast sourced from Central and South America. 290 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,639 It's nostalgic. It's a traditional cup of coffee. It's smooth, balanced, 291 00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:18,960 non acidic, the way coffee is supposed to taste. None 292 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,879 of the fancy stuff. Well, Tim can do fancy that. 293 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,440 This one is about American values, the way America was 294 00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:28,120 designed to be.

You get to see a guy sitting 298 00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:41,240 in a chair and as he moves, the fake image 299 00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:44,240 behind him moves. He can make himself into anything. He 300 00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:48,919 can make himself into an only fans model. This is creepy. 301 00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:51,919 And my wife was watching this with me, and there's 302 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,039 a tiny little glitch in the fake onlyfan model face. 303 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,360 Her cheek kind of dissolves for just a second. That 304 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:01,600 would be the only hint. The background looks solid, it 305 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,240 looks like she's in a studio. He can move back 306 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,519 and forth and give you the flirty face and it 307 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,360 just changes his here's the friendly wave and gosh forbid 308 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,440 seeing that guy take his clothes off and have it 309 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,440 be that girl appearing on the screen. It's that good 310 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,639 and it appears to be instantly done. Someone else did 311 00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:23,360 it with the actors from the show Strange Stranger Things, 312 00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:25,799 and I'm not certain if during this video one of 313 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:27,519 them came out or not, but that's some of the 314 00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:30,360 things that they do on Stranger Things. This is an 315 00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:32,960 older dude leaning into the camera looking to the left, 316 00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:35,360 and he becomes some of the actors in the show 317 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,039 almost instantly, and it's creepy. There's no way to tell. 318 00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:43,639 So if you were someone who is ever on video calls, 319 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,279 ever on a FaceTime call, anything like this, communicating with 320 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,000 mom and dad, anything like this age mom and dad, 321 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,480 please create safe words. Furthermore, something really should be done 322 00:16:53,559 --> 00:16:57,440 legislatively here. If we're going to have AI capabilities like this, 323 00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:00,840 it should be a major crime to not label them AI. 324 00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:04,519 You should have to label images like this created by 325 00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:08,799 artificial intelligence. After all, we do this with certain foods, 326 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,839 right if it contains artificial ingredients, we tell people food 327 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,359 is one thing, and it should be labeled. But human 328 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,480 beings are another and it should be labeled too. Is 329 00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:20,119 that big government? Is that going against the free market system? 330 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,599 Now it's simply being just in favor of actual truth. Yep, 331 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,359 you're not going to guess my safe word. And by 332 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,720 the way, honey, you need to get yours for me. 333 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,319 We've got to protect ourselves here. Story number three, huge 334 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:39,160 lies that gen Z got sold about following Jesus. God 335 00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:41,640 help the people in gen Z. They are being sold 336 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,039 a ton of lies about what it means to follow Jesus. 337 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,200 And the Lord has warned us about false teachers. False 338 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,839 teachers will pay a significant penalty when they pervert the 339 00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:53,240 Word of God for their own ends or for any ends. 340 00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:57,200 It damages me kind of spiritually because I look at 341 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,039 gen Z as a great population of help. So many 342 00:18:01,079 --> 00:18:03,400 young gen Z men are coming to the Lord and 343 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,599 praise God. They're going into Orthodox churches that are usually 344 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,920 very very very tight to the Bible, with some changes 345 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,160 in terms of dogma and interactions with priests and confessions, etc. 346 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:17,400 None of the things I would consider to be salvation issues. 347 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,920 They're not going to keep you out of heaven in 348 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,000 my mind, and I think the Bible reflects that. But 349 00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:24,319 there's some really big lies that young people are walking 350 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,839 around with, and it's up to us to confront them 351 00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:30,319 because they are very close to salvation issues. Some of 352 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,920 them are in fact salvation issues that can keep you 353 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,400 out of heaven. Let's start with a simple one and 354 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,319 you'll see this one a lot online if you're in 355 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,400 any of the comments sections and YouTube or any of 356 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,559 their social media platforms. And that is that everyone is 357 00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:45,799 a child of God. That's not true. Not everyone is 358 00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:48,799 a child of God. We're all created by God, We're 359 00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:52,759 all made in His image. We're all loved equally by God. 360 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,839 There are no races in the body of Christ. There's 361 00:18:56,839 --> 00:18:59,000 no roles, there's no servant in their master. We're all 362 00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:02,200 equal the eyes of God. We're as given some gifts 363 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,799 to you, some of us Paul equates to a thumb, 364 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,440 others to eyes that as Paul points out, the eyes 365 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,839 may say I'm greater than the thumb, and the thumb 366 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,599 might say, hey, try eating without me. So you can 367 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,200 look through scripture for all sorts of backup on the 368 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,160 fact that we are not all children of God. In 369 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,200 John chapter one, verse twelve, or read this, Yet all 370 00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:26,319 who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, 371 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,880 he gave the right to become children of God. We 372 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,599 could end there. It's pretty simple. You know that phrase 373 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,359 born again Christian. It doesn't mean that we just invented 374 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,480 that phrase. It's just an evangelical thing. It means. It's 375 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,160 what Jesus said. When Jesus was talking to Nicodemus, a 376 00:19:44,519 --> 00:19:46,599 pharisee who was interested in him, he said, you have 377 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,599 to be born again, born of the spirit. In Galatians three, 378 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,799 verse twenty six, it says, so in Christ Jesus, you 379 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,799 are all children of God through faith, not because you 380 00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:59,640 were born through faith. It's through Christ Jesus that you 381 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,400 become a child of God. Romans eight, verse sixteen. The 382 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,759 Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children 383 00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:11,200 of God, with our spirit, that we're children of God. 384 00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:14,880 In First John chapter three, verse one, see what great 385 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,759 love the Father has lavish on us that we should 386 00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:19,400 be called children of God. And that is what we are. 387 00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:21,640 The reason the world does not know us is that 388 00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:24,079 it did not know him. So you couldn't be a 389 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,160 child of God before Christ Jesus. You are a child 390 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,039 of God. Within Christ Jesus and through Christ Jesus, but 391 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,279 not everybody is a child of God. And to finish 392 00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:36,759 it off with Romans chapter nine, verse eight, those who 393 00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:39,839 are children of the flesh are not the children of God, 394 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,160 but children of the Promise are counted as offspring. The 395 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,880 promise is the promise of Christ, the promise of the Messiah, 396 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,440 the Covenant that God made to come and get us. 397 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,519 And we live now in this New Testament age, this 398 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,680 Church age. So this lie that gen zias have been 399 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,119 told that we're all children of God is just that. 400 00:20:57,799 --> 00:20:59,839 And this can be a salvation issue because if you're 401 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000 talking around saying, well, God loves me as a child, 402 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,720 he wouldn't do that to me. He does love you, 403 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,519 He's not waiting to do something from you. But once 404 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:10,200 you join the family of God, by accepting Jesus Christ 405 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,880 as your Lord and Savior and confessing in your mind 406 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,200 he is that he's the Messiah, He's the Son of God, 407 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,279 confessing him with your mouth, signifying this. Through baptism, you 408 00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:21,799 are given entry into the family. But you're also given 409 00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:24,559 the gift of the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit 410 00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:27,480 can be like a loving father or sometimes a lovingly 411 00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:31,000 nagging mother. Saying, don't do that, don't go that way. 412 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,799 You know this is wrong. And as the spirit magnifies 413 00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:36,039 in you, even in time that your act in our 414 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,160 prodigal there's this spirit. It's going to make it harder 415 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,359 and harder and harder on you until you come back 416 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,960 to the path. So become a child of God. Accept Jesus, 417 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,720 confess him in your mind, and then confess him with 418 00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:49,480 your mouth, and that way you can join us in 419 00:21:49,519 --> 00:21:53,319 the family of Christ. Gen Z is also told, and 420 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,960 you'll hear this continually in discussions, in arguments. You'll hear 421 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,920 heretic pastors say Jesus Christ had no opinion on same 422 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,319 sex activity. So let's pause and consider this from just 423 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,640 a position of logic. Jesus was and is God, part 424 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,160 of the triune Godhead, the son of God who returned 425 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,319 to God. He was there in the beginning, and the 426 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,160 beginning was the Word. The word was with God, and 427 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,599 the word was God. The Word there is Jesus, and 428 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,000 he has no opinion on same sex activity. The God 429 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,079 who desired human procreation, the God who said it is 430 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,559 not good that man is alone, the God who made 431 00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:32,799 sex pleasure has no opinion on same sex activity. Let's 432 00:22:32,839 --> 00:22:34,759 begin in the Old Testament before you do the thing 433 00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:36,839 where well, that's the Old Testament that doesn't count. No, 434 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,759 this is this is the Bible Jesus read. Jesus came 435 00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:43,680 to fulfill the law, not to do away with it, 436 00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:46,880 and this would come from the era of the law. Levitigus, 437 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,440 Chapter eighteen, verse twenty two. Do not have sexual relations 438 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,640 with a man as one does with a woman. That 439 00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:56,319 is detestable. Now, incidentally, there are Christians who come along 440 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,079 and say it's only the topic of same sex activity 441 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,359 that calls the test God called detestable or abominable. That's 442 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,000 not true. That's throughout the Bible. But it is very 443 00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:07,880 clear that it's detestable to God. So let's get into 444 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,400 the New Testament. Matthew five, Verses seventeen through twenty. Do 445 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,559 not think that I've come to abolish the law or 446 00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:17,599 the prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but 447 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:23,000 to fulfill them Leviticus. For truly, I tell you, until 448 00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:25,599 heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, nor the 449 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,400 least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear 450 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,519 from the law until everything is accomplished. Therefore, anyone who 451 00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:34,880 sets aside one of the least of these commands and 452 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,000 teaches others accordingly, will be called least in the Kingdom 453 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:41,640 of Heaven. But whoever practices and teaches these commandments will 454 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,119 be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I 455 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,000 tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the 456 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,240 Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly 457 00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:53,720 not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Now we could do 458 00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:58,039 an entire video series on your righteousness surpassing the Pharisees, 459 00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:00,759 because Pharisees thought they were the most right human beings 460 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:03,039 in the world. They thought their wealth was because they'd 461 00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:05,680 done well with God. But that's focused out on this 462 00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:09,480 in terms of same sex activity. And Jesus did not 463 00:24:09,519 --> 00:24:12,319 come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. And 464 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,960 when he says he warns people that by perverting these words, 465 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,039 by teaching them wrongly, by trying to confuse people about 466 00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:24,519 this commands, you make yourself least in the Kingdom of heaven. 467 00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:29,000 Jesus had an opinion on things that mattered, and sexuality 468 00:24:29,079 --> 00:24:33,440 matters Matthew Chapter nineteen, verse five. And Jesus said, for 469 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,440 this reason, a man will leave his father and mother, 470 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,200 and be united to his wife, and the two will 471 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,720 become one flush. He didn't say one partner leaves the other. 472 00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:42,440 He spoke of a man and a wife. And in 473 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,279 this case Jesus Christ is quoting the Old Testament. Jesus 474 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:51,039 did have an opinion on same sex activity. One Corinthians, 475 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,680 Chapter six, verses nine through ten. Or do you not 476 00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:56,200 know that wrongdoers will not inherit the Kingdom of God? 477 00:24:56,519 --> 00:25:00,599 Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, 478 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,119 nor adulters, nor men who have sex with men, nor thieves, 479 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,359 nor the greedy, nor dunkards nor slanders, no swindlers will 480 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,720 inherit the Kingdom of God. And I know people say, no, no, no, 481 00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:13,960 that's just Paul. That's not Jesus, that doesn't count. It's 482 00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:18,440 Jesus who saved Saul and made him into Paul. Is 483 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:21,279 Jesus who struck him blind on the road to Damascus 484 00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:23,119 and then change him from a guy who was out 485 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,599 unlive in Christians into a guy who became probably the 486 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,000 greatest of the apostles in terms of going out to 487 00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:34,519 spread the word of God. One third of the New Testament, 488 00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:38,240 written by Paul in his letters and other communications. You 489 00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:40,480 could extend to this as well. Jesus when he spoke 490 00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:44,240 about adultery, you've heard it said you should not commit adultery. 491 00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:45,640 But I tell you a man who looks at a 492 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,839 woman with less than his eyes has already committed adultery. 493 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,240 You can easily apply that to fornication. And remember, in 494 00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:52,920 the time of Christ, there was no such thing as 495 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,880 so called gay marriage. Therefore, any act outside of marriage 496 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,799 is ungodly and detestable to God. Jesus Christ obviously had 497 00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:05,039 an opinion about same sex activity. Gen Z's also told 498 00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:08,200 that God is super hard to understand. Well, you could 499 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,559 make it that way. And He's certainly complex. His ways 500 00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:12,680 are above ours in every single way, and there's things 501 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,480 that we will never understand why God does certain things, 502 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,039 but we understand who God is. And if you want 503 00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:20,799 to make it hard, be my guest you could also 504 00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:24,400 make it really easily understandable with some quick bullet points 505 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,880 about who God is. Let's start in the first book 506 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,839 of the Bible, Genesis, chapter two, verses fifteen through seventeen. 507 00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:32,359 The Lord God took the man and put him in 508 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,119 the garden of Eden to work it to take care 509 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,720 of it, and the Lord God commanded the man, you 510 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,640 are free to eat from any tree in the garden, 511 00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:40,400 but you must not eat from the tree of the 512 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,519 knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat it, 513 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,160 you will certainly die. So God set man in a 514 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,720 position of liberty, not freedom. Freedom you're allowed to do 515 00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:53,960 whatever you want. Liberty is freedom within constraints. And God 516 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,519 made it very simple to understand. Do not go eat 517 00:26:56,559 --> 00:26:58,960 from that tree, but eat from all the others. And 518 00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:02,079 men decided to go their own way. So when Eve 519 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,880 came along, Adam did not enough tell her. Listen, seriously, 520 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,319 stay away from that tree. You don't even look at 521 00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:09,319 that tree. Don't go near that tree. We can eat 522 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,960 from anything else in the garden. We don't need to 523 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,720 try that tree. We need to trust God. But Adam 524 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,519 failed on that front. He was deceived. Eve ate from 525 00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:19,960 that tree, gave Adam some and sin was born in 526 00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:22,599 the world. We didn't die immediately. It was a spiritual 527 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,160 death that God created, and death did enter the world. 528 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,559 See God's not that hard to understand. Let's stay in 529 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,640 Genesis Genesis chapter two, verses eighteen through twenty four. The 530 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,160 Lord God said, it's not good for man to be alone, 531 00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:36,720 I will make a help or suitable for him. Now 532 00:27:36,759 --> 00:27:38,440 the Lord God had formed out of the ground all 533 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,119 the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. 534 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,720 He brought them to the man to see what he 535 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,480 would name them. And whatever the man called each living creature, 536 00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:47,920 that was his name. So the man gave names to 537 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,039 all the livestock, the birds in the sky, and all 538 00:27:50,079 --> 00:27:54,079 the wild animals. But for Adam, no suitable helper was found. 539 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,160 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into 540 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,279 deep sleep. While he was sleeping, he took one of 541 00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:00,680 the man's ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 542 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,000 Then the Lord God made woman from the rib he'd 543 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000 taken out of the man, and he brought her to 544 00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:08,079 the man. The man said, this is now bone of 545 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,440 my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be 546 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,680 called woman, for she was taken out of man. So 547 00:28:13,839 --> 00:28:17,119 God loved us. He gave us life. He gave us liberty, 548 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,359 which is freedom with and constraints. Why did he give 549 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,799 us liberty because he didn't want robots. Because he wanted 550 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,319 us to be able to love him. And if you're 551 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,400 just a robot set on love, you don't really love 552 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,920 you simply can't do anything else. He gave us the 553 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,359 ability to love another. He gave us the ability to 554 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,440 form a family, to be like him, to let him 555 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,000 work through us to create life. And it was not 556 00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:41,200 good that was man was alone. That extends beyond just 557 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,160 having a marriage. It extends into friendships. Throughout the Bible, 558 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,759 we're told or read the phrase to the other or 559 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,519 one another about one hundred and forty to two hundred 560 00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:54,480 and twenty times, depending upon translation. So God gave us 561 00:28:54,519 --> 00:28:58,839 friendship as well. God's death that hard to understand. Matthew 562 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,319 chapter nineteen, Versus four through six, haven't you read? He 563 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,000 replied that at the beginning, the Creator made them male 564 00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:06,920 and female, and said for this reason, a man will 565 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,480 leave his father and mother would be united to his wife, 566 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,480 and the two will become one flesh. So they are 567 00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:13,599 no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has 568 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,400 joined together, let no one separate. God invented marriage. He 569 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,720 loves marriage. He wants to maintain marriage. He wants us 570 00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:23,559 to maintain marriage. So he's up the bar for why 571 00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:25,440 you have to you can get a divorce. He's also 572 00:29:25,519 --> 00:29:29,759 said he hates divorce. John chapter three, verse sixteen. For 573 00:29:29,799 --> 00:29:31,480 God to love the world, that he gave his one 574 00:29:31,519 --> 00:29:34,240 and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, 575 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:38,200 but shall have eternal life. So, having loved us enough 576 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,359 to give us life, to give us liberty, to give 577 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,480 us one another, to give us what we need to live. 578 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,319 Even after the fall, God sent his only son to 579 00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:50,400 come and get us. Because we'd screwed things up so 580 00:29:50,519 --> 00:29:53,759 badly we could not fulfill the law. It was impossible 581 00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:57,480 for us, but possible for Jesus. So the triune godhead 582 00:29:57,559 --> 00:30:00,119 always knew they'd do this. They sent one of them, 583 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,240 Jesus Christ, to come to earth in order to rescue 584 00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:05,200 us and to pay a debt we could not pay. 585 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,119 Otherwise God would not have his children back. Were not 586 00:30:09,279 --> 00:30:11,759 all children of God. He wanted to reunite the family, 587 00:30:11,799 --> 00:30:14,039 and here came big brother Jesus Christ, to come and 588 00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:18,240 get us. In Mark one, verses fourteenth through nineteen, Jesus 589 00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:22,319 announces the good news. Jesus began his ministry, and this 590 00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:24,920 is John the Baptist to presage Jesus. He told Jesus 591 00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:27,799 was on the way. After John was put in prison, 592 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,200 Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 593 00:30:31,599 --> 00:30:33,640 The time has come, he said, the Kingdom of God 594 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,519 has come near. Repent and believe the good news. Jesus 595 00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:39,960 calls his first disciples. As Jesus walked beside the Sea 596 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,839 of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting 597 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,200 a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. Come 598 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,519 and follow me, Jesus said, and I will send you 599 00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:50,119 out to fish for people. At once, they left their 600 00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:52,720 nets and followed him. When he'd gone a little father, 601 00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:55,079 he saw James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John 602 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,759 in a boat preparing for their nets. Without delay, he 603 00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:00,279 called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the 604 00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,319 boat with the hired men, and followed him. Jesus is 605 00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:06,400 inviting people to be changed by him another way, he said, 606 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,480 this is Come and follow me, and I will make 607 00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:11,079 you fishers of men. I will make you into something. 608 00:31:11,599 --> 00:31:14,319 What he makes us into is disciples. Who go and 609 00:31:14,319 --> 00:31:18,480 make disciples. We become family members and have the authority 610 00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:22,319 to bring other people into the family. On behalf of God. 611 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,200 Matthew Chapter twenty two, Verses thirty six through forty, Teacher, 612 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,880 what is the greatest commandment in the law? Jesus replied, 613 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,519 Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, all 614 00:31:31,559 --> 00:31:33,599 your soul, and with all your mind. This is the 615 00:31:33,599 --> 00:31:35,799 first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, 616 00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:38,799 Love your neighbor as yourself. The law, all the law, 617 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,240 and the prophets hang on these two commandments. And when 618 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,240 he said this, he's talking about the worldly approach to love. No, 619 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,279 he's talking about God's approach to love. It's not a feeling. 620 00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:53,960 It's a set of activities. It's how we behave with 621 00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:57,720 one other. First Corinthians, Chapter thirteen, verses four through seven. 622 00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:00,480 Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not Mbiit 623 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,880 does not boast. It is not proud. That does not 624 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,240 dishonor others. It is not self seeking. It is not 625 00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:08,160 easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does 626 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,400 not delight and evil, but rejoices with the truth. It 627 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,559 always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres. And on 628 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,640 the Christ the cross before he died, Jesus embodied this 629 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,359 when he prayed for the people who had put him 630 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:27,160 on that cross. Item number four. Gen Z has been 631 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,079 lied to that church is a building. It's not a building. 632 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,400 It is sometimes a place we go in Ephesians Chapter two, 633 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,079 Verses nineteen through twenty two, where read consequently, you are 634 00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:41,720 no longer foreigners than strangers, but fill the citizens with 635 00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:44,359 God's people and also members of His household. Built on 636 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,759 the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, with Jesus 637 00:32:46,839 --> 00:32:49,960 Christ himself as the chief cornerstone. In him, the whole 638 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,000 building has joined together and rise is to become a 639 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,480 holy temple in the Lord. And in Him, You too 640 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,559 are being built together to become a dwelling in which 641 00:32:56,559 --> 00:33:00,000 God lives by the spirit. In Acts Chapter two, Versus 642 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,039 forty two through forty seven, the fellowship of the believers, 643 00:33:04,079 --> 00:33:06,799 They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching, and too fellowship 644 00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:09,400 to the breaking of bread and prayer. Everyone was filled 645 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,000 with aught that many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 646 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,039 All the believers were together, and they had everything in common. 647 00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:18,279 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone in need. 648 00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:20,960 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. 649 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,160 They broke bread in their homes and ate together with 650 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,799 glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor 651 00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:27,720 of all the people and the Lord added to the 652 00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:31,279 numbers daily those were being saved. Yes, they began meeting together. 653 00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:35,079 But we, the Body of Christ, are part of the church. 654 00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:37,400 We act as the Church. We don't just go to 655 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,000 a building. And the last and worst lie that gen 656 00:33:40,079 --> 00:33:42,480 z is told is God lets you choose your way 657 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,880 to follow him. No, he does not. John chapter fourteen, 658 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,039 verse fifteen. If you love me, keep my commands. That's 659 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,200 how Jesus knows you love him, keep his commands as 660 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,880 communicated through the Bible. This is the todd hermanshell. Please go, 661 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,960 be well, be strong, be kind, and please make every 662 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000 effort to walk in the light of Christ.
