Transcript
Welcome to the Keys of the Kingdom. I’m Brother Gregory and we’re going to be talking about the Kingdom of God. We’re in 2 Corinthians chapter 7. We finished This morning chapter 6 is one that has a few quotes in it there always popping and UCP buried me using and get into a lot of trouble and though I do agree that because it’s in the context of Seven and will have time to do a short chapter.
Two Forms of Religion, Two Forms of Welfare
[00:01:04] Basically, the outline of chapter 6 is start getting to talk to the people about working together and edited the church religion back then religion 200 years ago was the biased performance of your duty to God and your fellow man and your duty to your fellow man was to love your fellow man as yourself to actually take care of your fellow man to faith open charity and do not covet your neighbor’s goods, not take away from your neighbor, not to brutalize your neighbor like Cain or Nimrod or the mean Pharaoh or any of that stuff not to take a bite out of one last he be devoured yourself. How do you take a bite out of one of the talking about zombies actually biting people know he talking about you take something from your neighbor not stealing, but it’s coveted you make some sort of deal where you have a right to take from your neighbor your neighbor has a right to take from you and you did it in government and that’s why Jesus that you’re not to be like the government of the Gentiles to exercise authority one over the other what are those governments doing they are empowered by the people to take from their neighbors take from the rich take for somebody richer than them to take and take and take a day and then give you benefit you know like Medicare medic Kate welfare unemployment that you get the take on the wages of your neighbor so that you can have the benefit to no benefit to call the wages of unrighteousness because they’re based on systems of four rather than love. And you cannot be a free society and let you bake all your social welfare on systems of charity. If you base your systems in social welfare on systems of four which the vast number of people in America can’t feed that that is absolutely against Chist, against what Moses thought, against what Abraham was doing… wasn’t going to take anything by force but going to help one another to living alters of charity. That’s with the alters were that they were systems of charity free will offering they don’t want burning up she they were sacrificing what they had lots and the head she and sharing it with others who did not have enough that is a system of social welfare that strengthens the community. Bring the community together and find the community in a way where your local communities are really strong because they’re all helping one another those local communities are branched out to a network that they really care because you want to had the flood back in ’68 those guys from way off came and helped us.
How Tyrants Were Handled in 600 A.D., They Were All Kings
[00:03:58] I tell stories in the book Thy Kingdom Comes which is free online about in 600 A.D. it was a guy you started exercising authority started thinking he should be king over everybody and people showed up from miles away they came to say stop being a tire and he got to be a tyrant there then eventually become attire with them and so people came from how did you know the people in the local community is vocal about it came all the way there to them against this would be tyrant I love the story the way it goes instead to see the people coming in his army is growing it’s getting closer and closer Jan and then not right up to the not right up to their domain to take a bite out of them or be attacked by their coming in because you know their hunting in their living off the land in their gathering and getting to know everybody there can amassing their forces so he sent an ambassador out to them to make some sort of a deal will I give you guys, not the bad me out give you some gold or I’ll give you some grain or I’ll give you you I’ll do some for you and so his ambassador goes out there and try to make a deal not to have because you know when you finally have that battle it’s going to cost everybody if you come to some kind of agreement where they all go home and we all have the battle everybody is happy and what happened was that after negotiating and trying to negotiate for some time ambassador came back in the things that well did you make an agreement with them they did you talk to their game and he said no I was unable to do and this is what Wyoming lizard King and I think what they all say they are king. And see that’s what Israel was. In the days of Israel, there were no kings in Israel because every man was king in his own castle. I worked really good of every man is practicing their religion in other words he’s helping out the biased performance of his duty to God which is to be just right fair righteous and everything and to help out the needy of your society when they fall on hard times question I don’t help out the lady bomb you’re going help out those people who actually fall on hard times because things happen there to remember that you did that.
Story of Greg’s Grandfather Paying Back All His Debts After the Great Depression
[00:06:32] I always tell a story… I love this story… When I was visiting my grandmother up in North Dakota and I ended up having to take something back to the store because it was something in the milk. And I don’t know… my grandma is blind so she might imports of tomato juice back in the melt but it was taken but despite the pain and I just brought it back to get his opinion is that the eBay and PayPal and anyway he should be no you nerdy other complaints but he won me take another half-gallon nice as well the old knots okay if she did that then that’s on us and not even know you take it you I just a nice as well I’m not trying to get pretty melt out of you and he does Consisting finally said when I was growing up my dad talked about your grandfather of all the people in town he was the only one he came back and paid up everything he owed. Because during the depression, everybody in the storekeepers helped everybody out and you gave them feel good deals in and carried him then you know that with credit and all the stuff and occasionally have the carry my grandfather credit but my grandfather came back and paid everything. And this guy little boy at the time, but he said is long is what he told me as long as there was food in his store my grandmother would never go hungry because of what my grandfather did 20, 30, 40 years earlier. My grandmother was long dead I never ever met him he died before I was even born and so honest. that was living on beyond him his honor is what you would call his “glory.” is when you see that were glory we talked about that has to do with honor you give God the grant will this guy was giving my grandfather credit and he was actually going to take care of my grandmother because my grandfather had been so honest. And actually make a strong community.
[00:08:47] And Paul’s talking to the Corinthians about working together to do just that so that. So if there is any kind of film altered difficulty your hard times and you need this ministration uses the word ministry or ministration is translated ministration and other places at the same word as a daily ministration. He is talking about the charts being that daily ministration not the free bread of Rome because that were men take away the property of others to provide you with benefits.
Central Gvoernments Slide into Totalitarianism
[00:09:24] Rome was sliding into socialism, which also meant that it was sliding into totalitarianism. Because that’s what happens. That’s was on Russia thought Mao’s China that thought Germany is that totalitarianism took over the name you call it fascism in college communism, but the fact is that any kind of social estate centralizes power in a few who are eventually corrupted by the hour and begin to take and take and take. Look at all the people that are running for office now they’re talking about giving you this benefit that benefit as benefits how many of those people have become millionaires while they were working in government I mean Bernie Sanders is a millionaire Elizabeth Warren millionaire Pelosi is a millionaire the people all becoming a millionaire the more millionaires when they started but there millionaires now you need to go back to Nixon he was a millionaire when he left office but when he came into office he was certainly no will to be millionaires on the salary that is a great deal of graft and corruption go and all that but that’s what you’re going to get if you’re not seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness and take care of one another debate open charity you’re going to end up with a totalitarian government that is going to oppress you and you see evidence of that now.
Either Take Care of One Another or Be Ruled by Force
[00:11:02] But Paul’s talking about taking care of one another in this pureness by knowledge by long-suffering by kindness by the Holy Ghost… We explained a little bit about what that meant… by love unfeigned but in that same word love can be translated charity unfeigned what you don’t give that I didn’t hundred thousand and take care of one but in the second half that he talked about being on equally yoked with unbelievers. What the believer believer is someone who believes in fake open charity not for spear by John the Baptist everybody was going by force trying to establish the kingdom of God the kingdom of heaven the utopia of God on earth to force to citizens of Corbin that force the offerings of the people. Augustus was doing it. Herod was doing it. Many other countries are doing even Quandt was starting to do it Paul is seen in other text talking to the treasurer court saying no yard is underway.
In a Properly Functioning Community, People Generously Donate
[00:12:06] We had a thing called “The Blues Festival” out here in Summer Lake. A number of people put it on every year. and yet it have blues bands come in and play and anybody can come and we charged a fee the first time and you know he had to buy a ticket at the gate and you can come in and we made a certain amount of money, enough to pay all bands. And everybody kind of yells just a community thing that discounted dated and the PayPal I deleted again and what they did in some of the following years was they didn’t charge a ticket everybody come, donations only. you if you want to donate some of the gate you can donate them at the gate and you come in but we weren’t selling the tickets we made way more money same amount available but we made more money because there were people who were more urgent it was almond and pay anything out of it but other people were more generous. And it worked out pretty good but eventually they the people who were organizing got the feeling like it was too much we can do it again but the it was just fascinating that one we didn’t charge a ticket they made more money than they did when they did charge think of it they were doing it for the money they made money so that next year they get better back and a cowboy poetry and all the stuff but that was nothing interesting character in human nature.
Freeloaders Amass in Non-functioning Cities
[00:13:42] Now I wouldn’t want to do that downtown Portland. having a try to have a restaurant that were free you know just pay whatever you can afford and then went bankrupt Ireland went bankrupt because all kind of freeloaders coming because it’s a lot of freeloaders in Portland and the Leo leftists and liberals and what have you not that they’re the only freeloaders find freeloaders on both sides of the aisle but out here where the rubber meets the road where people have to work for a live and there a lot more appreciative and so they were a lot more generous. That’s always been the way I’ve seen things.
Temples Were Government Buildings
[00:14:20] This morning I put a lot of extra links in that second paragraph if you want to know where this is that it’s at preparingyou.com is preparing while you.com and you just look up the Bible and go to second Corinthians 6 and then there we have lots of other links between fellowship and righteousness in the Lyle Communion what were the things he community was your system of social welfare one soul, bread it was an actual system of social welfare but in this last paragraph, Paul says I will dwell… he talking about God and yet you are the temple of the Holy Spirit of God what does agreement is the temple of God have with Idol was in all the other we talked about this issue put a link in there the temples article to see that all those temples of Rome were systems most of them were systems of social welfare limning the Temple of Minetta actually meant to point but they were all government buildings providing government services and that’s very important in Christ is going to provide government services to his pure religion but it was all by faith open charity in a certain kind of people gathered together in such a system and other kind people stayed in the system you know of welfare that was run in the free bred of Rome. and the people who gathered as Christian prosper they did way better and then as the system began to collapse and the shortage of food because your global warming had stopped and now it was global cooling incident outcrops were failing and there were other reasons crops failed and then there were wars and rumors of wars and there were volcanoes going off and earthquakes. And so there was hard time but the Christians did pretty good but what they were coming out is that system of forced offerings and they were setting the table of Lord to have a system of free will offering. & have some sort of oversight and of course that’s wasted on the 10th hundred thousand began to see what’s going on and how getting take care of it, the buddy system times ten.
[00:16:49] Just before the show I added all kinds of other links Rome versus us a link to Polybius, a link to Plutarch, to show you these ideas been around for a long time. Nimrod… what was wrong with Nimrod? He was a city with a socialist and a system of social welfare that Sally got power over the people. The Christian conflict… what were Christians being persecuted for? Its is amazing we have the we have the actual trials of Christians we know what they were accused of your most Christians are being accused of things like atheism but they didn’t believe in God but they didn’t believe in the gadget Rome while white what I have to do will if you believe in the God of like will run you signed up with the Temple of Rome. Built the Temple of Roma and Jerusalem but he also built the Temple at your and but they were both providing benefits to people who would sign up with those temples. And they would pay and and they would buy gold and they would that be in the treasury and then they would help take care of the people and that the problem was those offerings were forced you were compelled to pay in. And of course that makes the word of God to none effect. So, anyway, you can go read all that.
What the True Church Looks Like
[00:18:15] But we’re going to talk about 2 Corinthians 7 this morning around little bit that I do get started around verse five but we go up there and start with a first one in Corinthians 2nd Corinthians chapter 7 having therefore the promises dearly beloved what promises that God’s going to take care of you if you take care of one another that God will hear your prayers if you hear the prayers of others. Because you way back when you chose to have a king under Samuel A he said the heat that saying that president that Prime Minister’s been taken taken taken today and we cry out and I can hear you because you want a man who would exercise authority. see that now if you want me to hear you you have to start sitting down taking care of one another and that process is what you would call we being the wedding garments. You’re setting the table of the Lord where it says clearly beloved letters clears ourselves from the filthiness of the flesh and the spirit with the thought about the systems that make you merchandise Peter says will make you merchandise. That will curse your children with that is at work at a crime to sell for that week we have no agreement with the Temple of idols because we are gathering in the temple of the holy ghost which is a living Temple where you great bonds of love for one another rather than contract where you have to pay in and then somebody helpers a bunch of that money and there’s not enough money to go around they wasted perfect perfecting holiness in the fear of God that said seeking the kingdom the system of charity receive as we have wronged no man what are you coveting our neighbor’s goods were not asking men who call themselves benefactors to take from our neighbors neighbors to provide extra stuff. We’re doing home schooling home health home industry were helping one another in a week we could do a lot more and we’ll show you how to do that but basically this is what the early church was doing. is what the church is failing to do today which is why the church today is not the true church were not were not the true church we strive to be the true church work is that that’s the job description seek the kingdom. So any church wants to seek the kingdom will tell you what it looks like..
Enlarging Our Hearts
[00:20:56] So he said, We have corrupted no man. We have defrauded no man. We’re not foreseen anybody. We’re not taking anybody were not refusing to take care of people because everything we receive is freely given and you can freely receive it. We’re not going to great bonds we hope that you would do we live by faith hope and charity not force and so therefore were not compelling we have no entitlement but we hope everybody is there for one another and I tell you that the right kind of people together you’ll be way better off . He says, “I speak not this to condemn you for I have said before that you are in our hearts to God and to live with you.” He was saying in the previous chapter about enlarging his heart was enlarged for you wanted you to enlarge your heart for others great is my boldness of speech towards you great is my glory of you and I was again that were glory be honoring you. He said you guys are doing a good job and I honor you and I I brag about you to others so that they will have courage to do the same I am filled with comfort I am exceeding joyful and all our tribulation because were doing it the right way were doing the faith hope and charity.
Paul’s Networks Circulated Supplies Around the Mediterranian
[00:22:36] If you go down to verse 5: “For when we were come into Macedonia…” So they had gone to Macedonia the college going around a lot of places he wanted his first jobs is taking relief I think to Syria and of course in Corinthians he talks about helping bring relief from corn to Jerusalem. And of course Jerusalem redistributes to places like Ephesus because these problems would get worse in one area and then they began to get better and then they get worse another area so this body of Christ is able to circulate funds and supplies where it was needed without all the way and graft and corruption that you were seeing in the Roman government because the Roman government created offices empowerment to seek powers office and they were corrupted by the power that they had power corrupts but the church we don’t have any way of forcing offerings we that we do not exercise authority one over the other so we don’t do a good job you’ll get anything if we do a good job then you support the work that we do. And everybody begins to learn what it is to help one another.
Paul Rejoices Because of the Maturation of the Corinthians
[00:23:55] So anyway. in verse 6 it says, “Nevertheless God that comforted those that are cast down comforted us by the coming of pride thought they were getting getting kinda depressed because that was all the fighting is trouble on every side without out where fighting is within were fears but tonight’s game and with Titus things got better. And not by his coming only but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you when he told us your earnest desire your morning your fervent mind towards me so that I rejoice the more. So they let Macedonia and end up coming to court. For though I made use story with a letter we talked about that first Corinthians was kind of a harsh letter I do not repent though I did repent for I perceive that the same offense so have made use sorry though it were but for season going with that problem but they straightened out things got better and corn and now he’s happy about that and then course we talked about that the beginning the second Corinthians was kind of current Paul Light. you know is rather said that he is light as before I was heavy and waited another reference to that for though I made use story with the letter I do not repent though I did repent for I perceive that the same epistle has made use sorry though it were bought for a season. now I rejoice not that the were made sorry but that so world to repentance to think in a different way after repentance is for ye were made story after godly manner that you might receive damage by and nothing. They’re not looking for a safe space because Paul’s cannot but they received what he had to say and they got better and started doing things better in Titus had this good news that really cheer Paul up for godly sorrow work at repentance to salvation not to be repentant but the sorrow of the world worker that for behold this self same thing that ye sorrow after a godly sort what carefulness it wrought in you you a what hearing of yourself yea what is a big nation yea what fear you what you desire yea what the yea what run then and all the ye have approved yourself to be clear in this matter. So he’s got really good reports about Carinthia and what was going on there and so anyway that’s what Paul was talking about.
The Modern Church Harmonizes with the Governments of the Gentiles
[00:27:21] Now there’s one more paragraph which I announce to be. Remember the obedience of you all. And this is one of the problems of the modern church today they’re not doing that they know they don’t provide social welfare their communion just to calm that I don’t take care of one another if they have me so slow for me that to the people who exercise authority one over the other. They send their congregation there they are not working to be the congregation of righteousness. They are working to be like the governments of the Gentiles. And they are just tickling years of the people that is destroying and making the word of God to not affect and so now all these modern Christians have need of repentance anyway they’ll break and I’ll be right back to we’ve got some of the switchboard hopefully I had to upload all the files openly were will be okay for a while and get another saboteur but anyway will be right back to Keys of the Kingdom.
The Union and Discipline of the Early Church
[00:28:32] Welcome back! We’re in verse 12 of 2nd Corinthians chapter 7: “Wherefore though I wrote unto you I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong nor for the cause that suffered wrong but for our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you therefore we were comforted in your comfort yea and exceedingly the more joy we for the joy of guided because his spirit was refreshed by you all for if I have boasted anything to him of you I am not ashamed but as we spake all things to you intrude even so our boasting which I made before Titus is found a truth and his inward affection is more abundant towards you while he remembered the obedience of you all how with fear and trembling ye received him. I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you and all things. Now, when it is fear and trembling weekend drop it your own mind that some of you Timothy Titus is this the intimidating figure well. Trembling that way the people are probably some pretty special people hard-working everybody who survived in those days had to be some sort of a hard worker. And the they were taking care of one another and sharing what they had with one another and this created a whole the union and discipline of the Christians in their network of tens, hundreds, and thousands absolutely terrified the emperors because they knew the people decided to get violent, they were ready.
Gun Shootings Happens in Places with Gun Restrictions
[00:30:49] People talk about your gun control he had to get guns out of the yelled the that people the gunowners in America the other millions upon millions of people with billions of rounds of ammunition if they were the problem you know about the all the shootings are taking place where you are restricting the ownership and and the possession of firearms so the people who go and abused the fire and they go to these places where there are no guns and they shoot up people the most of the gunowners actually are keeping you safe nobody nobody drives down the street to Paisley organ and shoots up people because they won’t make it due to the other was a guy shot somebody back in 1957 in town and he didn’t make it to the next town. Because the fact that everybody stormed out here and when I shoot each other medical accidents kill more people than the date that they killed far more people than guns in this country and there’s really not a real high death rate from guns if you took away the suicide rate.
Reducing Suicide and Depression
[00:32:08] That’s another thing… if you were spending effort to take care of one another to faith hope and charity are actually being doers of the word of what Christianity was all about there would be a lot less suicide there would be a lot less need for depression medicine medicine you would be depressed as you were spending your day helping other people out and there’s an exhilaration that comes with can do it just for that exhilaration but it gives you a sense of purpose and the value and but we we forgotten gotten away from so fine that we write another letter from like that wall to the Corinthians because people are not doing what they’re supposed to be doing.
Early Christians Persecuted Because they Wouldn’t Sign-up for Public Welfare Programs
[00:33:00] In my side notes it syas to understand the daily ministration of pure religion it would be good to understand the Christian conflict and so there there’s actually three links: daily ministration, pure religion, and Christian conflict. because the questions were being persecuted because they wouldn’t sign up for the public relation of Roman or of the Pharisees they wouldn’t sign up for that they had and and you can see in Justin Martyr’s apology tell you this is how we do it with me every weekly those that share with those that don’t have enough our we do we do it really well and then you were but when they started going but happened is that all the freeloaders went over and join the religion that forces the contributions of the people because if your freeloader will know it because were sitting down the didn’t understand thousand we know of your lady home watching TV all day want just get a check didn’t work that way that weekend you and now is the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah dinnertime of affluence they did not strengthen the poor. You hear people like Candace Ownes saying that the welfare system has incentivized fathers leaving the home and seeing up with the single-parent families which are far more likely to end up getting into trouble than the family in a two-parent family statistically speaking there are exceptions to that anyway so we have to are links to those articles and says with the temples of Rome… so there’s another two links Temple and Roman explain what all the temples do and their public welfare—the free bread and circuses of Rome that brought Rome and the upper purpose of their persecution so this is another lengthy persecution seeking read about the things that are not teaching you this in school do not teaching this to you and your church is so the migration another link is unequally yoked with unbelievers the truth is many of the modern Christians unbelievers. They said they believe but do not doers of the word. They’re not taking care of one another to faith hope and charity they go to the minute call himself benefactors but exercise authority you can’t do that and tell me that you’re following Christ and expect me to believe you you’re not following Christ and that’s not that we want to be that way and you are that way the problem so you’re actually you think you’re Christian but your action under strong delusion… we have another link to an article there so my questions love the wages of unrighteousness. they would love the benefits that are provided by men who exercise authority which is the wages of unrighteousness are they again entangled in the yoke of bondage because that absolutely to the elements of the world and we have articles elements no what that word elements is translated a couple of the ways we explain are they made merchandise like Peter said they would be are they they curse children like Peter said they would how’d it appears that you would do that to covetous practices desire he benefits from the new exercise authority.
Greg Didn’t Feel Right about Taking “Free” Money
[00:36:36] Now I say a lot of these things over and over again and I see there that we have two callers that are listening and and I recognize some of those numbers are pretty regular but how many people out there the millions upon millions… billions of people in the world don’t hear that that is the actual message of Christ we have the articles and with footnotes we go down and you can see you flat out this set right to you and not me that way to me that way with you. But in that way with the modern Christian so they can be following Christ. They rationalize it all I want we talked about that this morning out this irrational behavior is come about because people are eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to not be there and listen to the Holy Spirit they would now wait a minute that I know way back to you I went to the state unemployment service back in Wisconsin. And I come back to Canary where he owns a property and not with my wife and my kids and we were going to do I needed to get a job so I went there and they the jobs listed and so they said they could but they have free money they wanted to give me. Free money for what is whether the government has money that we can give you because you don’t have a job lighting come in for free money same as the milk and coming over free money I came here to find a job for the think of getting free money because I didn’t have a job. Now I was asked by where you get the money oh you’re taking it from other people and giving it to me was that you not very generous we were very generous know you’re not generous you you’re taking from somebody else. And you want me to I had the benefit that you offer me because you went and took from somebody else. And you think that’s okay not I didn’t I was never lectured this when I was studying to be a priest to study in seminary or parochial school but to me it is obvious. That’s wrong. But, to most people know the way we do it now I said not to do it that way but you you tell me that we do it that way now know how to do it that way so anyway we need to turn around we need to think a different way and so I’m calling on the voice of one crying in the wilderness and literally in the wilderness… As soon as I’m done here after run back out hopefully that will think I’ll do not eat sheep while I’ve been gone doing the program had nobody to go out watching for me today because zero doing something else somewhere else on the one year I came in just three minutes before the show started date to get rated shows the this is you you want to come out of her my people? You need to start selling the wedding garment you need to start setting the table Lord and way you do that the way he said to do that the way he commanded us to do that the down the 10 sentences and thousands.
Importance of Joining the Network
[00:40:05] You want to go to the websites and join the network and get in a congregation no matter how far away the people are. You want get as close as possible. And then help us get this message out to other people so that we can provide this all over the country because we were not on big platforms yet but were working were working on a number different ways but it all takes time at all takes energy at all takes perseverance we put her hand to the plow were not planning on taking it off but we need your help to make this happen. Today we live in an era where suddenly you could get thrust into the limelight of media and you can get and the thousands of people coming to your website and reading the message. I’m sure that will only get 5 to 10% of Americans and Australians to go along with this if everybody heard the message because that’s all you got in the days of Christ. But 5 to 10% is nearly 1 billion people. but a lot of people and so considers what 7 billion people in the world 1 billion people in the world that amazing thing is that we’ve had a number people come in the fall the way you do not want to do that but if you want to come back and start participating and then we had a number people that are with us really with us. They’re not really dedicated to that they’ve come for a variety of reasons actually know some of the reasons and I go through them but the fact is this this is I’ve been working on stuff for the last several weeks I know there are people getting impatient with because they probably have it delivered but I will deliver to the ministers here shortly. But I I go out into the desert to pray about this and come back and then God says no you changes changes in the he had to add this and add this and so I’m working on this that is very important.
Measure the Temple
[00:42:22] One of the things you’re supposed to do is measure the temple so how do you measure the temple of God well there are parameters in doing what God says and doing things according to the way that God says to and we need I need to apply those to myself as well as to others in the relationship I have with others I’m not much I I don’t want authority over people I don’t want to control and manipulate people I want you to find your own motivation and that’s what because there’s no way to have a free society unless people actually do it that way let’s that’s where we have to get to if were going to actually see the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
A Number of Websites We Are Working On
[00:43:18] So anyway there are other link there on the side panel and you if you go to preparing you.com also opening up in another site preparing U preparing while you and we used to have preparing you the letter you like preparing you in the sense of like University or some and the that’s going to be that’s actually we have somebody who’s organizing all the podcasts and put them up and he actually had done some work with transcripts of the shows and the broadcast is what makes it and then he puts in timestamp so it’s easy to get to certain section and then were going to take chunks of this and put them out and some people are already doing it putting out on YouTube and we if we get a team of people dozens of people or hundreds of people doing then we can we when we put new stuff out and get out into media and I’m sure were going to get some attention but the biggest thing is to sit down the 10 tons and thousands and don’t lose faith put your hand to the plow he going according to the ways of Christ.
Who Are the Saints?
[00:44:34] The next chapter is chapter 8 in second Corinthians and that it is just a continuation and talks about the ministering to the Saints and this is something that’s coming up and the wild things I’ve been working on the same you we have the this so many words we use today religion doesn’t mean today what it meant back then Saints doesn’t mean today what meant back to the one Paul you were things we need to be thinking what Paul was thinking unfortunately were thinking what modern church religion is telling us the things me. He talks about I speak not by commandment but by invasion of the forwardness of others and approve the sincerity of your love so what’s he going he talks about he became poor this way says that Jesus though he was rich he made himself poor. That’s in chapter 8 so yet ministering to the Saints and made himself for providing for honest things will again they’re all talking about the practice of pure religion trained to our father in heaven not to the father in Rome and this is why Christians were kind of ostracized as to what’s wrong with our system why you going this other way because it’s righteous you tell out that were not righteous yeah that’s what I’m telling you. the actually saying that doesn’t make me popular but you tell me how you can have a free society without this you you see it you think Tierney coming in other battling back and forth. that day they think that all will get the boat will get this all worked out you know who your choices last time okay for you to get tromp again probably this time, maybe… if doesn’t kill him or somebody doesn’t injury doesn’t have a heart attack who else is going to run and do what he supposedly doing anything.
Patriot Act, Historical Significance of March 15th
[00:46:45] Just this last week they extended the Patriot Act. I didn’t tell people this morning how far they extended it. They extended it to March 15. March 15 in ancient history is when you settle all day that’s what that that was a date where you settled all the thoughts of the date in which they assassinated Caesar it’s in a number of other things happened on that date for the way patriot acts as been extended to March 15 of next year so I don’t know that a premonition I don’t know about the Patriot Act is outrageous. at patriot act one patriot act to and the go back to and I talked briefly about that this morning is the antiterrorist act which was introduced into Congress by by anyone with a path they came up for vote that day after the mere building was blown up and it passed. they took out a few provisions but the no showed up in the patriot act somebody writing anything and there there totalitarian in an vision that leaves me arrested for suspicion. You can be thrown into jail. We don’t have the media we used to have. The media is as corrupt as anything else…most of it. I mean there is a few things getting out.
Sacrifice Grows the Network
[00:48:20] But if you don’t have this network of people that care about one another, where you go? Who are you going to call? you know we this way early Christians were not only surviving name and thriving because this was real religion this was pure religion have that network we need to have that we need to go this other way and so anyway what I recommend is people come again to preparingyou.com, join the network, find the congregations close to you geographically as possible join get on the congregation calls start contributing and to see if we can create more more interest in the Fellowship of Christ and the Ministry of the Saints, and how they were taking care of one another the faith open charity. Sacrifice is the name of the game and but you have to have that local control that individual knowledge of who you’re giving to and how is he doing is he doing a good job doing a poor job? Is he practicing pure religion?
World Is Getting Crazy, Boys in Girls Locker Rooms
[00:49:39] Now things are really bad yet. There are some things that that are going downhill and are certainly a lot of a crazy Louis ideas out there. and use that those ideas are becoming pervasive because the spirit growing up in the people you see it with people going their temper tantrums and screaming and yelling young people make fun of the fact they didn’t know what bathroom to use but like the story I talked about this morning were you one or two just a few kids boys in the school say they are girls and they feel like girls and they want to change the girls locker room because they feel uncomfortable and the boys locker room because they think their girls to have a delusion and not girls or boys but they identify with being a girl so much that they have the strong delusion of being a girl—it’s a dysphoria—and they want to church a change in the girls locker it makes the girls uncomfortable but nobody cares about that too provide this delusional person with comfort they are going to put all the other girls in an uncomfortable state in order to give him a safe place to change the gonna make the place where all the girls change unsafe now there’s a boy in there who can talk at the and they don’t like it they don’t want it now some girls probably don’t care but that most of the girls really don’t want it. But they don’t care about them.
Definitions of Liberal and Conservative Has Changed
[00:51:36] So this is the kind of spirit… you’re seeing the evidence of the spirit growing up in the people. They’ll take away your right to free speech used to be the left and the liberals were the ones the guaranteed free speech and with the conservatives said oh yeah but not that kind of music it not that kind of speech but in and you got comedians coming out using the F word and stuff like that it matters a lot’s not right without coming from the conservative side in the liberal defendant which is not really with free speech. is all about buddy it’s all I know I think it’s stupid but if you want to say those things I just don’t have to listen to but the reality is that the people today that are against free speech all the less in the and in many of the liberals because the liberals have gone left. And they will dying and scream and shout it playing to stop you from speaking they will they’ll firebomb people and hit them with pipes and so silly John them now do all kinds of things case located down the street block old people in the street but they don’t believe in free speech they want they say their freedom is threatened by your speech so they’re absolutely willing to take your freedom away if you don’t…what? I don’t get it doesn’t make any sense.
Intersectionality, “Special” Rights, ANTIFA
[00:53:03] Like I was saying, this intersectionality where they divide people up into groups you black your black woman your black woman with children you end up in the black woman with children and where these different characteristics crosses this intersectionality. used to be everything is broken down into your individual you’re an individual your individual will judge you according to the character of you but now we judge you according to your social group that’s insanity that you you’re taking away right of the people in the name of getting your special that is totalitarian yet they’re the ones recalling a fascist the anti-Antigua people are the fastest today that I much power but there’s a lot of people in Army yet yes. You have this hate speech which it will name who they are but you get well-known personalities saying the attack people in the restaurants, in the streets. make them not welcome back hate speech telling people to attack other people they are guilty of what they’re accusing everybody else
Closing
[00:54:34] So anyway, we need to repent turnaround go the other way and one way to do that is to follow Christ if you follow Christ you need to actually follow the real deal then piece on your house may God be with you God bless.
