what you do so thank you what you do so thank you [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Pastor true leaders are secure in Pastor true leaders are secure in Pastor true leaders are secure in themselves themselves themselves and are able to share the and are able to share the and are able to share the spotlight insecure leaders are easily spotlight insecure leaders are easily spotlight insecure leaders are easily intimidated by competent intimidated by competent intimidated by competent subordinates secure leaders surround subordinates secure leaders surround subordinates secure leaders surround themselves with the themselves with the themselves with the best because they understand that the best because they understand that the best because they understand that the best makes them look good I remember best makes them look good I remember best makes them look good I remember when I was in a special event with a when I was in a special event with a when I was in a special event with a particular Supreme Court Justice it was particular Supreme Court Justice it was particular Supreme Court Justice it was a breakfast uh years ago not mentioning a breakfast uh years ago not mentioning a breakfast uh years ago not mentioning any names I don't want to get into any any names I don't want to get into any any names I don't want to get into any politics or left right center or politics or left right center or politics or left right center or anything else but when I was there a guy anything else but when I was there a guy anything else but when I was there a guy named Bob Woodson came up to named Bob Woodson came up to named Bob Woodson came up to speak uh and he speak uh and he speak uh and he said he said he said he said I want you all to said I want you all to said I want you all to know that I have five phds and I work work hard for those phds and I work work hard for those phds and I brought them with me and he phds and I brought them with me and he phds and I brought them with me and he introduced five of his staff members and introduced five of his staff members and introduced five of his staff members and brought them up on the stage with you that's you that's collaboration that's security that's

collaboration that's security that's collaboration that's security that's strength he found the strength in having strength he found the strength in having strength he found the strength in having the right people around him to the right people around him to the right people around him to accomplish what he needed to accomplish accomplish what he needed to accomplish accomplish what he needed to accomplish and we need more of that today because and we need more of that today because and we need more of that today because there's so much competition there was so there's so much competition there was so there's so much competition there was so much competition everybody trying to much competition everybody trying to much competition everybody trying to make a name for themselves and isn't it make a name for themselves and isn't it make a name for themselves and isn't it interesting the contrast between Genesis interesting the contrast between Genesis interesting the contrast between Genesis 11 and Genesis 12 Genesis 11 is the 11 and Genesis 12 Genesis 11 is the 11 and Genesis 12 Genesis 11 is the Tower of Babel and they were gathering Tower of Babel and they were gathering Tower of Babel and they were gathering in revolt against God essentially in his in revolt against God essentially in his in revolt against God essentially in his authority and what did they say let us authority and what did they say let us authority and what did they say let us make a name for ourselves and boy does make a name for ourselves and boy does make a name for ourselves and boy does that capture humanity and human effort that capture humanity and human effort that capture humanity and human effort all right but when you go from chapter all right but when you go from chapter all right but when you go from chapter 11 to chapter 12 God pulls a man named 11 to chapter 12 God pulls a man named 11 to chapter 12 God pulls a man named Abraham sits him down and says I will Abraham sits him down and says I will Abraham sits him down and says I will make your name make your name make your name great and there's a difference between great and there's a difference between great and there's a difference between the two yes we do what we do in order to the two yes we do what we do in order to the two yes we do what we do in order to establish brand presence and all that establish brand presence and all that establish brand presence and all that kind of stuff but we are very careful to kind of stuff but we are very careful to kind of stuff but we are very careful to understand that elevation comes from God understand that elevation comes from God understand that elevation comes from God and when we give him something to work and when we give him something to work and when we give him something to work with that he can be proud of and is not with that he can be proud of and is not with that he can be proud of and is not in viol ation of his nature and in viol ation of his nature and in viol ation of his nature and integrity he can bless us in ways that integrity he can bless us in ways that integrity he can bless us in ways that we cannot imagine and open doors that we we cannot imagine and open doors that we we cannot imagine and open doors that we could never open on our own and give us could never open on our own and give us could never open on our own and give us opportunities that would have never come opportunities that would have never come opportunities that would have never come our way without his help and assistance our way without his help and assistance our way without his help and assistance are there any believers in the

States born out of that was a generation of of of individuals that I share as colleagues individuals that I share as colleagues individuals that I share as colleagues with with with who God elevated to establish impactful who God elevated to establish impactful who God elevated to establish impactful Ministries Across the Nation and around Ministries Across the Nation and around Ministries Across the Nation and around the world this world this period experienced a shift from Mainline denominational influence Mainline denominational influence fluence on the spiritual landscape of fluence on the spiritual landscape of fluence on the spiritual landscape of our our our nation to the influence of nation to the influence of nation to the influence of Evangelical charismatic Evangelical charismatic Evangelical charismatic Pentecostal word of faith those who were Pentecostal word of faith those who were Pentecostal word of faith those who were caught up in the prophetic and uh caught up in the prophetic and uh caught up in the prophetic and uh intercessory intercessory intercessory movements it was a more movements it was a more movements it was a more Dynamic expression of the presence of Dynamic expression of the presence of Dynamic expression of the presence of God in society how lindsy wrote a book in society how lindsy wrote a book in 1970 called the late great planet 1970 called the late great planet 1970 called the late great planet Earth and why it was so popular is and Earth and why it was so popular is and Earth and why it was so popular is and it's by the 19 by 1995 it sold 35 it's by the 19 by 1995 it sold 35 it's by the 19 by 1995 it sold 35 million million million copies and the reason it was so popular copies and the reason it was so popular copies and the reason it was so popular is because Lindsay was taking current is because Lindsay was taking current is because Lindsay was taking current events and interpreting them as events and interpreting them as events and interpreting them as prophetic indicators that pointed to the

prophetic indicators that pointed to the prophetic indicators that pointed to the imminent or very very soon return of imminent or very very soon return of imminent or very very soon return of Jesus so the fervor was Jesus is coming Jesus so the fervor was Jesus is coming Jesus so the fervor was Jesus is coming and I understand that because I got born and I understand that because I got born and I understand that because I got born again in again in again in 1975 and when I entered the Community of 1975 and when I entered the Community of 1975 and when I entered the Community of Faith within the Christian Faith within the Christian Faith within the Christian context they scared me because Jesus was context they scared me because Jesus was context they scared me because Jesus was coming in two weeks it was was that the fervor the weeks it was was that the fervor the intensity was that intensity was that intensity was that strong another book that sold about 25 strong another book that sold about 25 strong another book that sold about 25 million million million copies and five films movies were made copies and five films movies were made copies and five films movies were made out of the franchise was called Left out of the franchise was called Left out of the franchise was called Left Behind by Tim Le how many remember that Behind by Tim Le how many remember that Behind by Tim Le how many remember that book and then we we had so many other book and then we we had so many other book and then we we had so many other books that complimented that idea that books that complimented that idea that books that complimented that idea that Jesus was coming how many of you are are Jesus was coming how many of you are are Jesus was coming how many of you are are a product of that period where you came a product of that period where you came a product of that period where you came to the Lord and uh so the rest of y'all to the Lord and uh so the rest of y'all to the Lord and uh so the rest of y'all got saved after 2000 is that what yall got saved after 2000 is that what yall got saved after 2000 is that what yall saying did you don't want to appear that saying did you don't want to appear that saying did you don't want to appear that old old old okay but it was such a fervor it had okay but it was such a fervor it had okay but it was such a fervor it had theological impact because it placed a a theological impact because it placed a a theological impact because it placed a a a a a lens on society and events current

lens on society and events current lens on society and events current events that shaped and informed a world viiew it viiew it had social had social had social impact and political impact and political impact and political impact because you had the emergence in impact because you had the emergence in impact because you had the emergence in the end of the end of the end of 1970s of Jerry fwell senior's moral 1970s of Jerry fwell senior's moral 1970s of Jerry fwell senior's moral major major major maity then you had the emergence of the maity then you had the emergence of the maity then you had the emergence of the Christian Coalition the emergence of Christian Coalition the emergence of Christian Coalition the emergence of concerned women of concerned women of concerned women of America the establishment of platforms America the establishment of platforms America the establishment of platforms like like like PTL uh dayar uh 700 Club TBN Trinity PTL uh dayar uh 700 Club TBN Trinity PTL uh dayar uh 700 Club TBN Trinity Trinity Broadcasting Network who Trinity Broadcasting Network who Trinity Broadcasting Network who embraced that eschatological FL fa uh uh embraced that eschatological FL fa uh uh embraced that eschatological FL fa uh uh fervor and gave a platform for it to be fervor and gave a platform for it to be fervor and gave a platform for it to be preached so if you turn on those preached so if you turn on those preached so if you turn on those networks at any given time all right yes networks at any given time all right yes networks at any given time all right yes there was a celebration of life there was a celebration of life there was a celebration of life celebration of the Lord but there was celebration of the Lord but there was celebration of the Lord but there was always this infusion that Jesus is about always this infusion that Jesus is about always this infusion that Jesus is about to crack the sky and we better be to crack the sky and we better be to crack the sky and we better be ready there was also a political ready there was also a political ready there was also a political overtone in that as I said in 1965 Jerry overtone in that as I said in 1965 Jerry overtone in that as I said in 1965 Jerry fwell put out a public statement fwell put out a public statement fwell put out a public statement criticizing Dr Martin Luther King for criticizing Dr Martin Luther King for criticizing Dr Martin Luther King for being involved in a social gospel and being involved in a social gospel and being involved in a social gospel and Jerry fwell said said that churches have Jerry fwell said said that churches have Jerry fwell said said that churches have no business being involved in uh you

no business being involved in uh you no business being involved in uh you know uh social events or uh exercising know uh social events or uh exercising know uh social events or uh exercising in any way its influence and power to in any way its influence and power to in any way its influence and power to shape public shape public shape public policy well 10 years later he himself is policy well 10 years later he himself is policy well 10 years later he himself is touring the country fwell is touring the touring the country fwell is touring the touring the country fwell is touring the country and doing the very thing that he country and doing the very thing that he country and doing the very thing that he said churches shouldn't do he had an said churches shouldn't do he had an said churches shouldn't do he had an Awakening and then there was a one Awakening and then there was a one Awakening and then there was a one there's a wonderful passage in the book there's a wonderful passage in the book there's a wonderful passage in the book of First John you're aware of it chapter of First John you're aware of it chapter of First John you're aware of it chapter 3 and it says it talks about the 3 and it says it talks about the 3 and it says it talks about the imminent return of Jesus and it says imminent return of Jesus and it says imminent return of Jesus and it says that everyone who has this hope purifies that everyone who has this hope purifies that everyone who has this hope purifies himself King James language how many are himself King James language how many are himself King James language how many are familiar with that passage in 1 John 3 I familiar with that passage in 1 John 3 I familiar with that passage in 1 John 3 I think it begins at verse 2 and three but think it begins at verse 2 and three but think it begins at verse 2 and three but it says that everyone who has this hope it says that everyone who has this hope it says that everyone who has this hope of the return of Jesus purifies himself of the return of Jesus purifies himself of the return of Jesus purifies himself even as he is pure continues it doesn't even as he is pure continues it doesn't even as he is pure continues it doesn't appear what we're going to be but we we appear what we're going to be but we we appear what we're going to be but we we know that when he appears we shall be know that when he appears we shall be know that when he appears we shall be like him and that was the language that like him and that was the language that like him and that was the language that also demanded a certain moral also demanded a certain moral also demanded a certain moral standard in preparation for the return standard in preparation for the return standard in preparation for the return of Jesus so it it had theological impact of Jesus so it it had theological impact of Jesus so it it had theological impact it had social and political impact the it had social and political impact the it had social and political impact the social impact was amazing in terms of social impact was amazing in terms of social impact was amazing in terms of all the events promisekeepers all the events promisekeepers all the events promisekeepers organizations like uh focus on the organizations like uh focus on the organizations like uh focus on the family and all of these Evangelical family and all of these Evangelical family and all of these Evangelical organizations that were born out of that

organizations that were born out of that organizations that were born out of that Evangelical fervor also with this was a Evangelical fervor also with this was a Evangelical fervor also with this was a stirring of spiritual gifts and this was important because gifts and this was important because there is a theological belief called there is a theological belief called there is a theological belief called cessation and cessation simply says that cessation and cessation simply says that cessation and cessation simply says that when the last of the early Apostles died when the last of the early Apostles died when the last of the early Apostles died these gifts died with it so there are these gifts died with it so there are these gifts died with it so there are those who don't believe that 1 those who don't believe that 1 those who don't believe that 1 Corinthians chapter 12 and 14 is Corinthians chapter 12 and 14 is Corinthians chapter 12 and 14 is active in the world right active in the world right active in the world right now we don't subscribe to that we now we don't subscribe to that we now we don't subscribe to that we believe that God is very believe that God is very believe that God is very active but we believe also active but we believe also active but we believe also that those gifts are to be be respected that those gifts are to be be respected that those gifts are to be be respected and taken seriously and not to be abused and taken seriously and not to be abused and taken seriously and not to be abused in the way that they have been in the way that they have been in the way that they have been abused especially the abused especially the abused especially the prophetic the is is predictive to the Future present so the prophets moved by God

present so the prophets moved by God would put a lens on would put a lens on would put a lens on Society at that Society at that Society at that time and time and time and do an do an do an analysis of the spiritual analysis of the spiritual analysis of the spiritual moral political social condition of the moral political social condition of the moral political social condition of the society and then they would speak a word society and then they would speak a word society and then they would speak a word from God to the from God to the from God to the society and the way it works in the Old society and the way it works in the Old society and the way it works in the Old Testament was concentric circles it was Testament was concentric circles it was Testament was concentric circles it was first to the individual then to the first to the individual then to the first to the individual then to the family then to Israel as a nation then family then to Israel as a nation then family then to Israel as a nation then to the rest of the world and cosmically to the rest of the world and cosmically to the rest of the world and cosmically to the powers principalities and powers to the powers principalities and powers to the powers principalities and powers that they believed existed and were that they believed existed and were that they believed existed and were functioning in this world so they would analyze the prophet world so they would analyze the prophet would would would analyze and then speak a word to the analyze and then speak a word to the analyze and then speak a word to the people and say hey people and say hey people and say hey look this is your condition and if you look this is your condition and if you look this is your condition and if you don't change which is what repent means don't change which is what repent means don't change which is what repent means it means a change in mind evidence by a it means a change in mind evidence by a it means a change in mind evidence by a change in actions if you don't change change in actions if you don't change change in actions if you don't change then these things are going to happen to then these things are going to happen to then these things are going to happen to you and they start allow uh they start you and they start allow uh they start you and they start allow uh they start um laying out all of the things that can um laying out all of the things that can um laying out all of the things that can come as a result of the spiritual moral come as a result of the spiritual moral come as a result of the spiritual moral social ethical conditions and political social ethical conditions and political social ethical conditions and political condition of the society see so most of

condition of the society see so most of condition of the society see so most of the the the predictions that the prophet gave predictions that the prophet gave predictions that the prophet gave warned the warned the warned the people but were based people but were based people but were based on the analysis of Trends and Trends and patterns that are able to be patterns that are able to be patterns that are able to be observed over observed over observed over time we have prophets in our nation time we have prophets in our nation time we have prophets in our nation today and in our world today who are today and in our world today who are today and in our world today who are economic profits not because God God is economic profits not because God God is economic profits not because God God is necessarily giving them a divine necessarily giving them a divine necessarily giving them a divine revelation but because they're able to revelation but because they're able to revelation but because they're able to study Trends and patterns and they could study Trends and patterns and they could study Trends and patterns and they could pretty pretty much predict with a pretty pretty much predict with a pretty pretty much predict with a significant degree of accuracy how significant degree of accuracy how significant degree of accuracy how things are going to turn things are going to turn things are going to turn out right isn't that what we do we say look right isn't that what we do we say look if you don't change your behavior you're if you don't change your behavior you're if you don't change your behavior you're going to end up like this isn't that going to end up like this isn't that going to end up like this isn't that what we say individually especially to what we say individually especially to what we say individually especially to our our our kids right or to our loved one well kids right or to our loved one well kids right or to our loved one well what's true on a personal level what's true on a personal level what's true on a personal level individually is true within Society we individually is true within Society we individually is true within Society we can look at society and say look we're can look at society and say look we're can look at society and say look we're going in the wrong direction if we don't going in the wrong direction if we don't going in the wrong direction if we don't change this Behavior this way of change this Behavior this way of change this Behavior this way of thinking this attitude we're going to thinking this attitude we're going to thinking this attitude we're going to we're going to end up we're going to end up we're going to end up here and this is why we have concerns here and this is why we have concerns here and this is why we have concerns about what's happening socially and

about what's happening socially and about what's happening socially and politically spiritually and morally in politically spiritually and morally in politically spiritually and morally in America because what we've seen over America because what we've seen over America because what we've seen over the last quarter Century this is the last quarter Century this is the last quarter Century this is 2024 is a downgrading of values and a 2024 is a downgrading of values and a 2024 is a downgrading of values and a lowering of moral lowering of moral lowering of moral standards and what we would not standards and what we would not standards and what we would not allow we are now giving a pass allow we are now giving a pass allow we are now giving a pass to because we're no longer Guided by to because we're no longer Guided by to because we're no longer Guided by these higher standards and moral values these higher standards and moral values these higher standards and moral values we are Guided by personal agendas or we are Guided by personal agendas or we are Guided by personal agendas or political agend agendas or Community political agend agendas or Community political agend agendas or Community agendas or corporate agendas how many agendas or corporate agendas how many agendas or corporate agendas how many you know agendas have taken you know agendas have taken you know agendas have taken [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] over see and over see and over see and why why we we we benefit when we follow why why we we we benefit when we follow why why we we we benefit when we follow God's order of things and his standards God's order of things and his standards God's order of things and his standards all right is because everyone gets all right is because everyone gets all right is because everyone gets blessed in the process but when we blessed in the process but when we blessed in the process but when we follow human processes and orders and follow human processes and orders and follow human processes and orders and agenda someone's going to get the short agenda someone's going to get the short agenda someone's going to get the short end of the stick end of the stick end of the stick I don't care what social political I don't care what social political I don't care what social political construct you have in mind whether it's construct you have in mind whether it's construct you have in mind whether it's capitalism whether it is a monarchy capitalism whether it is a monarchy capitalism whether it is a monarchy whether it's Socialism or communism all whether it's Socialism or communism all whether it's Socialism or communism all right someone always ends up with the right someone always ends up with the right someone always ends up with the short end of the stick I remember when I short end of the stick I remember when I short end of the stick I remember when I was in

school this is part school this is part two I didn't plan on a part three thank you I I three thank you I I appreciate now I know who's controlling appreciate now I know who's controlling appreciate now I know who's controlling the the the clock so where were we I for the clock so where were we I for the clock so where were we I for the distracted where were distracted where were distracted where were we we went to we we went to we we went to school when I was in school what school when I was in school what school when I was in school what school I'm sorry I'm messing with school I'm sorry I'm messing with school I'm sorry I'm messing with you'all you'all you'all bad pastor ah lost my trend of thought it'll pastor ah lost my trend of thought it'll come back really back in I depend on the come back really back in I depend on the come back really back in I depend on the Holy Spirit right but but you know we we Holy Spirit right but but you know we we Holy Spirit right but but you know we we we we look at things and we could see we we look at things and we could see we we look at things and we could see the direction that they're going in and the direction that they're going in and the direction that they're going in and we could become prophetic we have we could become prophetic we have we could become prophetic we have economic prophets we have political economic prophets we have political economic prophets we have political prophets we have social prophets we have prophets we have social prophets we have prophets we have social prophets we have moral prophets these are individuals who moral prophets these are individuals who moral prophets these are individuals who that's their job this is what they do that's their job this is what they do that's their job this is what they do they study human society and they they study human society and they they study human society and they understand social constructs and no understand social constructs and no understand social constructs and no matter what system of government matter what system of government matter what system of government someone's going to end up with the short someone's going to end up with the short someone's going to end up with the short end of the stick and some way when I was end of the stick and some way when I was end of the stick and some way when I was in school thank you I read a book called in school thank you I read a book called in school thank you I read a book called animal animal animal farm and some of you remember the book farm and some of you remember the book farm and some of you remember the book right and there are two ways to to study right and there are two ways to to study right and there are two ways to to study that book and use it as an analogy for that book and use it as an analogy for that book and use it as an analogy for real life situations you could either real life situations you could either real life situations you could either use it to study the French Revolution or use it to study the French Revolution or use it to study the French Revolution or you can use it to study the the bolic you can use it to study the the bolic you can use it to study the the bolic revolution which is what happened in

revolution which is what happened in revolution which is what happened in Russia but the idea was that if we have Russia but the idea was that if we have Russia but the idea was that if we have Socialism or you know where the Socialism or you know where the Socialism or you know where the government is in control of everything government is in control of everything government is in control of everything then everybody and distributes then everybody and distributes then everybody and distributes everything equally then we have a fair everything equally then we have a fair everything equally then we have a fair and just Society that's great in and just Society that's great in and just Society that's great in theory but it has never worked in theory but it has never worked in theory but it has never worked in practice and we've witnessed the practice and we've witnessed the practice and we've witnessed the collapse of an entire Soviet Union all collapse of an entire Soviet Union all collapse of an entire Soviet Union all right that was based around that way of right that was based around that way of right that was based around that way of thinking because in the book Animal Farm thinking because in the book Animal Farm thinking because in the book Animal Farm you know uh there always is the you know uh there always is the you know uh there always is the leadership that emerges and the leadership that emerges and the leadership that emerges and the leadership became the leadership became the leadership became the elite and there was symbolism boxer was elite and there was symbolism boxer was elite and there was symbolism boxer was the the the the donkey and he the the the the donkey and he the the the the donkey and he represented the labor and interestingly represented the labor and interestingly represented the labor and interestingly enough the pigs became the government enough the pigs became the government enough the pigs became the government Elite and they were in charge of Elite and they were in charge of Elite and they were in charge of Distributing it's a very very Distributing it's a very very Distributing it's a very very interesting book you get a chance if you interesting book you get a chance if you interesting book you get a chance if you haven't read it you should you should haven't read it you should you should haven't read it you should you should read it but reading in the light of the read it but reading in the light of the read it but reading in the light of the failure of any human construct and this failure of any human construct and this failure of any human construct and this is what God was trying to get across to is what God was trying to get across to is what God was trying to get across to his Nation Israel he was trying to tell his Nation Israel he was trying to tell his Nation Israel he was trying to tell them look if you follow me and my social them look if you follow me and my social them look if you follow me and my social order and my way of doing and being order and my way of doing and being order and my way of doing and being everybody's going to be everybody's going to be everybody's going to be blessed but if you decide to take it on blessed but if you decide to take it on blessed but if you decide to take it on your own then you will suffer the your own then you will suffer the your own then you will suffer the consequences plain and simple

consequences plain and simple consequences plain and simple so we can look at pattern but then you so we can look at pattern but then you so we can look at pattern but then you say well Pastor isn't there a gift of say well Pastor isn't there a gift of say well Pastor isn't there a gift of the spirit that is revelatory where we the spirit that is revelatory where we the spirit that is revelatory where we can like a word of knowledge or a Word can like a word of knowledge or a Word can like a word of knowledge or a Word of Wisdom where we can know things that of Wisdom where we can know things that of Wisdom where we can know things that are not are not are not evident but come from divine revelation evident but come from divine revelation evident but come from divine revelation in other words God opens the mind of the in other words God opens the mind of the in other words God opens the mind of the individual and shares with them things individual and shares with them things individual and shares with them things that they could not know any other that they could not know any other that they could not know any other way absolutely we believe in that here way absolutely we believe in that here way absolutely we believe in that here at Christian cultural at Christian cultural at Christian cultural center but we are also aware that center but we are also aware that center but we are also aware that people can people can people can deceive through the use of these deceive through the use of these deceive through the use of these gifts so we have to be Discerning that's gifts so we have to be Discerning that's gifts so we have to be Discerning that's why the Bible says test the spirit test why the Bible says test the spirit test why the Bible says test the spirit test prophecy read it it's in the book 1 prophecy read it it's in the book 1 prophecy read it it's in the book 1 Corinthians 14 test these things test Corinthians 14 test these things test Corinthians 14 test these things test the spirituality of things that come the spirituality of things that come the spirituality of things that come your way to make sure that they come your way to make sure that they come your way to make sure that they come from God and you can't test it if you from God and you can't test it if you from God and you can't test it if you don't have anything to test it with don't have anything to test it with don't have anything to test it with because you're shallow and have no depth because you're shallow and have no depth because you're shallow and have no depth in the word of God what did Jesus use in the word of God what did Jesus use in the word of God what did Jesus use when he was confronted with the devil he when he was confronted with the devil he when he was confronted with the devil he used the word of God he quoted scripture used the word of God he quoted scripture used the word of God he quoted scripture primarily from chapter 6 to 8 of primarily from chapter 6 to 8 of primarily from chapter 6 to 8 of Deuteronomy he gave him an answer gave Deuteronomy he gave him an answer gave Deuteronomy he gave him an answer gave him a a framework I gave him the power him a a framework I gave him the power him a a framework I gave him the power power to respond because the devil

power to respond because the devil power to respond because the devil started using scripture because he can started using scripture because he can started using scripture because he can transform himself into an angel of light transform himself into an angel of light transform himself into an angel of light come come come on and in an age where there's so much on and in an age where there's so much on and in an age where there's so much information on demand then you have to information on demand then you have to information on demand then you have to sort through it what happens is we end sort through it what happens is we end sort through it what happens is we end up with fatigue information overload and up with fatigue information overload and up with fatigue information overload and fatigue and we get to the place where we fatigue and we get to the place where we fatigue and we get to the place where we say ah it's too much just tell me what I say ah it's too much just tell me what I say ah it's too much just tell me what I need to know and that's when you're in need to know and that's when you're in need to know and that's when you're in trouble how many understand what I'm trouble how many understand what I'm trouble how many understand what I'm talking about because now you shut down talking about because now you shut down talking about because now you shut down your own critical your own critical your own critical thinking and you want somebody to tell thinking and you want somebody to tell thinking and you want somebody to tell you what to think instead of teaching you what to think instead of teaching you what to think instead of teaching you how to you how to you how to think it's true in every field it's true think it's true in every field it's true think it's true in every field it's true in the church where there are people who in the church where there are people who in the church where there are people who will go to church simply to be told how will go to church simply to be told how will go to church simply to be told how to think no simply told what to think to think no simply told what to think to think no simply told what to think instead of how to think so you have instead of how to think so you have instead of how to think so you have whole churches moving in a particular whole churches moving in a particular whole churches moving in a particular direction because of something the direction because of something the direction because of something the pastor or the preacher pastor or the preacher pastor or the preacher said and that's why I appreciate the said and that's why I appreciate the said and that's why I appreciate the fact that y'all check fact that y'all check fact that y'all check me I see you on your me I see you on your me I see you on your phone I don't think you're all you're phone I don't think you're all you're phone I don't think you're all you're busy tweeting because you don't want to busy tweeting because you don't want to busy tweeting because you don't want to miss what I'm going to say but I do miss what I'm going to say but I do miss what I'm going to say but I do believe you're looking things believe you're looking things believe you're looking things up and I think it's wonderful because up and I think it's wonderful because up and I think it's wonderful because y'all will catch me if I make a mistake y'all will catch me if I make a mistake y'all will catch me if I make a mistake like when I said there was 633 like when I said there was 633 like when I said there was 633 Commandments when there's actually 613 Commandments when there's actually 613 Commandments when there's actually 613 Commandments it slipped my mind cuz I'm Commandments it slipped my mind cuz I'm Commandments it slipped my mind cuz I'm human and I got several emails that

or she would have been right there or she would have been right there watching to protect them to protect but watching to protect them to protect but watching to protect them to protect but we can't be everywhere our children we can't be everywhere our children we can't be everywhere our children are we can't be how many you understand are we can't be how many you understand are we can't be how many you understand that you that you that you can't but what you teach them goes with can't but what you teach them goes with can't but what you teach them goes with them them them everywhere they are everything that they everywhere they are everything that they everywhere they are everything that they encounter everything that they come up encounter everything that they come up encounter everything that they come up against what you teach them what you against what you teach them what you against what you teach them what you instill in them is what protects instill in them is what protects instill in them is what protects them and this is what God was trying to them and this is what God was trying to them and this is what God was trying to do with the nation of Israel that he was do with the nation of Israel that he was do with the nation of Israel that he was forming because when the incident of the forming because when the incident of the forming because when the incident of the golden calf and I hope you went home and golden calf and I hope you went home and golden calf and I hope you went home and read it and didn't wait for me a week read it and didn't wait for me a week read it and didn't wait for me a week later but the golden calf incident is is later but the golden calf incident is is later but the golden calf incident is is it's it's in Exodus chapter 32 you can it's it's in Exodus chapter 32 you can it's it's in Exodus chapter 32 you can read it in your spare time but read it in your spare time but read it in your spare time but essentially essentially essentially Moses in chapter 31 Moses is up on a Moses in chapter 31 Moses is up on a Moses in chapter 31 Moses is up on a mountain meeting with God he's getting mountain meeting with God he's getting mountain meeting with God he's getting the Commandments the law and he's going the Commandments the law and he's going the Commandments the law and he's going to come down and give it to the people to come down and give it to the people to come down and give it to the people so that they have a way of thinking a so that they have a way of thinking a so that they have a way of thinking a set of values that they're going to set of values that they're going to set of values that they're going to internalize right write these things on internalize right write these things on internalize right write these things on your heart that you're able to respond your heart that you're able to respond your heart that you're able to respond to what's happening around you that you to what's happening around you that you to what's happening around you that you can develop an identity of your own that can develop an identity of your own that can develop an identity of your own that distinguishes you from all of the other distinguishes you from all of the other distinguishes you from all of the other nations and their value system and their nations and their value system and their nations and their value system and their beliefs and traditions beliefs and traditions beliefs and traditions the Moses is up there for 40

the Moses is up there for 40 the Moses is up there for 40 days and they get days and they get days and they get impatient because Moses and God took too impatient because Moses and God took too impatient because Moses and God took too long they should have sped it up so when Moses gets back down what up so when Moses gets back down what does he find he finds a celebration they does he find he finds a celebration they does he find he finds a celebration they were partying partying I'm not even going to go there partying I'm not even going to go there anyway and the leader that he put in anyway and the leader that he put in anyway and the leader that he put in charge because we I I will get some charge because we I I will get some charge because we I I will get some another opportunity to examine Aaron's another opportunity to examine Aaron's another opportunity to examine Aaron's failure in failure in failure in leadership because instead of continuing leadership because instead of continuing leadership because instead of continuing the values that were given to him based the values that were given to him based the values that were given to him based upon the experience of their Liberation upon the experience of their Liberation upon the experience of their Liberation from Egypt he gave in to the people leaders have to make hard people leaders have to make hard decisions even even when it's unpopular decisions even even when it's unpopular decisions even even when it's unpopular with the people and that's what makes with the people and that's what makes with the people and that's what makes you a you a you a [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] leader but he comes down Moses comes leader but he comes down Moses comes leader but he comes down Moses comes down the people are all over place what down the people are all over place what down the people are all over place what have they done they they they create a have they done they they they create a have they done they they they create a golden Cal and Aaron was complicit cuz golden Cal and Aaron was complicit cuz golden Cal and Aaron was complicit cuz he said to them he said oh okay um yeah he said to them he said oh okay um yeah he said to them he said oh okay um yeah maybe Moses is taking too long God's maybe Moses is taking too long God's maybe Moses is taking too long God's taking too long so get all your gold taking too long so get all your gold taking too long so get all your gold together we'll put it into a fire and together we'll put it into a fire and together we'll put it into a fire and melt it down and we'll create this calf

melt it down and we'll create this calf melt it down and we'll create this calf this golden image and we'll worship this this golden image and we'll worship this this golden image and we'll worship this golden calf and it will be our God and golden calf and it will be our God and golden calf and it will be our God and Moses comes out he blasts Aaron he said Moses comes out he blasts Aaron he said Moses comes out he blasts Aaron he said what did you do what did you let the what did you do what did you let the what did you do what did you let the people do to people do to people do to you that allowed you to give them this you that allowed you to give them this you that allowed you to give them this kind of space to engage in this kind of kind of space to engage in this kind of kind of space to engage in this kind of behavior Moses challenged Aaron's uh uh behavior Moses challenged Aaron's uh uh behavior Moses challenged Aaron's uh uh leadership or failure in leadership and leadership or failure in leadership and leadership or failure in leadership and what did Aaron respond he said I don't what did Aaron respond he said I don't what did Aaron respond he said I don't know what happened Moses we just threw know what happened Moses we just threw know what happened Moses we just threw the gold in the fire out came a story but you see and God rebuked them story but you see and God rebuked them and 3,000 people lost their lives as a and 3,000 people lost their lives as a and 3,000 people lost their lives as a result of that and why was God so harsh result of that and why was God so harsh result of that and why was God so harsh hey folks they just crossed the Red Sea hey folks they just crossed the Red Sea hey folks they just crossed the Red Sea they watch I don't care if you saw it in the movies I don't care if you saw it in the movies or imagine it from the book you get the or imagine it from the book you get the or imagine it from the book you get the idea of a sea parting and they're idea of a sea parting and they're idea of a sea parting and they're walking across on dry ground are you walking across on dry ground are you walking across on dry ground are you with with with me and then pharaoh and his army comes me and then pharaoh and his army comes me and then pharaoh and his army comes behind them behind them behind them uhoh this is what they experience they uhoh this is what they experience they uhoh this is what they experience they witnessed God's power in Egypt against witnessed God's power in Egypt against witnessed God's power in Egypt against the powers of Egypt the powers of Egypt the powers of Egypt he freed them he liberated them brought he freed them he liberated them brought he freed them he liberated them brought them out into the Wilderness now he's them out into the Wilderness now he's them out into the Wilderness now he's ready to shape them form them inform

ready to shape them form them inform ready to shape them form them inform them give them an identity that will them give them an identity that will them give them an identity that will stay with them for thousands of years stay with them for thousands of years stay with them for thousands of years and what do they and what do they and what do they do they are do they are do they are impatient and their impatience leads to impatient and their impatience leads to impatient and their impatience leads to Disobedience I will tell you something Disobedience I will tell you something Disobedience I will tell you something patience protects you from patience protects you from patience protects you from deception because when you're in patient deception because when you're in patient deception because when you're in patient you're open to being deceived deceived you're open to being deceived deceived you're open to being deceived deceived by solutions that are going to hurt you by solutions that are going to hurt you by solutions that are going to hurt you and not help you that's where they were and that's you that's where they were and that's why God was strong with them firm with why God was strong with them firm with why God was strong with them firm with them because they sought to replace his them because they sought to replace his them because they sought to replace his leadership and the when God takes too leadership and the when God takes too leadership and the when God takes too long we tend to replace god with long we tend to replace god with long we tend to replace god with something or someone else when God takes something or someone else when God takes something or someone else when God takes too too too long all right when the Divine Authority long all right when the Divine Authority long all right when the Divine Authority takes too long we seek to establish our takes too long we seek to establish our takes too long we seek to establish our own and that's some of what happened at own and that's some of what happened at own and that's some of what happened at the close of the 1990s when 2000 came Y the close of the 1990s when 2000 came Y the close of the 1990s when 2000 came Y 2 came y 2K came and Jesus didn't show 2 came y 2K came and Jesus didn't show 2 came y 2K came and Jesus didn't show up and all of a sudden there was a up and all of a sudden there was a up and all of a sudden there was a spiritual shift in what was established spiritual shift in what was established spiritual shift in what was established in the Decades of the' 70s ' 80s and in the Decades of the' 70s ' 80s and in the Decades of the' 70s ' 80s and '90s and all of a sudden we move from '90s and all of a sudden we move from '90s and all of a sudden we move from the Dual belief that Jesus was and is the Dual belief that Jesus was and is the Dual belief that Jesus was and is our personal our personal our personal Savior and our social savior to the

Savior and our social savior to the Savior and our social savior to the belief that Jesus is our personal Savior belief that Jesus is our personal Savior belief that Jesus is our personal Savior and politics is now our social and politics is now our social and politics is now our social Savior and we became guilty in this Savior and we became guilty in this Savior and we became guilty in this nation of political idolatry and the nation of political idolatry and the nation of political idolatry and the Very individuals who were supposed to be Very individuals who were supposed to be Very individuals who were supposed to be representing Jesus and the truths that representing Jesus and the truths that representing Jesus and the truths that I'm sharing with you were complicit and shifted the spiritual tone complicit and shifted the spiritual tone of our of our of our nation and it added to the Deep divide nation and it added to the Deep divide nation and it added to the Deep divide and polarization that we're experiencing and polarization that we're experiencing and polarization that we're experiencing now are you hearing me this would not be now are you hearing me this would not be now are you hearing me this would not be the first time that the nation of Israel the first time that the nation of Israel the first time that the nation of Israel did something like this again and again did something like this again and again did something like this again and again God would show his strength and power God would show his strength and power God would show his strength and power they would witness it and then backslide got to a point and and and let backslide got to a point and and and let me say this to you the it's the incident me say this to you the it's the incident me say this to you the it's the incident of the golden of the golden of the golden calf that was the calf that was the calf that was the impetus for their wanderings in the impetus for their wanderings in the impetus for their wanderings in the wilderness did you hear what I just said wilderness did you hear what I just said wilderness did you hear what I just said it was the impetus of the the golden it was the impetus of the the golden it was the impetus of the the golden calf incident was the calf incident was the calf incident was the impetus that led them into the impetus that led them into the impetus that led them into the Wilderness because they weren't Wilderness because they weren't Wilderness because they weren't convinced by how God took care of convinced by how God took care of convinced by how God took care of business in Egypt now he's got to take business in Egypt now he's got to take business in Egypt now he's got to take them through a personal process of them through a personal process of them through a personal process of learning how to trust him believe in him learning how to trust him believe in him learning how to trust him believe in him and be patient with and be patient with and be patient with him we do it in our personal life when him we do it in our personal life when him we do it in our personal life when God takes too long we try to figure out

God takes too long we try to figure out God takes too long we try to figure out another another another alternative amen or we abandon Jesus alternative amen or we abandon Jesus alternative amen or we abandon Jesus like some famous people have done like some famous people have done like some famous people have done because Jesus didn't show up when they because Jesus didn't show up when they because Jesus didn't show up when they felt he should felt he should felt he should have see but in the wilderness they have see but in the wilderness they have see but in the wilderness they would learn would learn would learn patience they would understand what it patience they would understand what it patience they would understand what it means and and and I want to give you means and and and I want to give you means and and and I want to give you this statement and boy I was hoping we this statement and boy I was hoping we this statement and boy I was hoping we could get to this because the golden could get to this because the golden could get to this because the golden calf was a cautionary tale about the calf was a cautionary tale about the calf was a cautionary tale about the dangers of impatience and losing dangers of impatience and losing dangers of impatience and losing faith and what it should do is remind us faith and what it should do is remind us faith and what it should do is remind us that we have to have steadfast trust in that we have to have steadfast trust in that we have to have steadfast trust in God but I want to give you a very God but I want to give you a very God but I want to give you a very specific statement because again that specific statement because again that specific statement because again that incident took place on the heels of incident took place on the heels of incident took place on the heels of their deliverance from Egypt it was at their deliverance from Egypt it was at their deliverance from Egypt it was at that point that they were now going into that point that they were now going into that point that they were now going into to the Wilderness and because they to the Wilderness and because they to the Wilderness and because they couldn't wait 40 couldn't wait 40 couldn't wait 40 days now it was going to take them 40 days now it was going to take them 40 days now it was going to take them 40 years turn to your neighbor say he's years turn to your neighbor say he's years turn to your neighbor say he's talking about somebody you know are you hearing know are you hearing me now God would have to teach them to appreciate the trans transformative appreciate the trans transformative potential of adversity and potential of adversity and potential of adversity and uncertainty get that uncertainty get that uncertainty get that statement God would have to teach them

statement God would have to teach them statement God would have to teach them the the the transformative transformative transformative potential of potential of potential of adversity and adversity and adversity and uncertainty how many of you have ever uncertainty how many of you have ever uncertainty how many of you have ever faced times of faced times of faced times of uncertainty how many of of you face uncertainty how many of of you face uncertainty how many of of you face times of ad times of ad times of ad diversity and the question is what did diversity and the question is what did diversity and the question is what did it do to you what did it do for you of it do to you what did it do for you of it do to you what did it do for you of course it traumatized you of course course it traumatized you of course course it traumatized you of course absolutely we we get traumatized when absolutely we we get traumatized when absolutely we we get traumatized when things are not going our way but what things are not going our way but what things are not going our way but what you do is and the intention is to you do is and the intention is to you do is and the intention is to discover its transformational discover its transformational discover its transformational potential when we started the Wilderness potential when we started the Wilderness potential when we started the Wilderness series I gave you where David said it series I gave you where David said it series I gave you where David said it was good that I was was good that I was was good that I was afflicted because I learned the benefit of obeying your word I want the benefit of obeying your word I want to unpack this and close with Wilderness to unpack this and close with Wilderness to unpack this and close with Wilderness and and and interpretation so I guess there's going interpretation so I guess there's going interpretation so I guess there's going to be a part three did you get anything to be a part three did you get anything to be a part three did you get anything out of part two listen two listen Christians when you get born again you Christians when you get born again you Christians when you get born again you don't check your brains at the door you don't check your brains at the door you don't check your brains at the door you come to church here you don't check your come to church here you don't check your come to church here you don't check your brains at the brains at the brains at the door you come in to learn how to think door you come in to learn how to think door you come in to learn how to think critically about your faith and your critically about your faith and your critically about your faith and your beliefs because that's the only way you beliefs because that's the only way you beliefs because that's the only way you can defend them because if you don't

can defend them because if you don't can defend them because if you don't think deeply and critically about them think deeply and critically about them think deeply and critically about them someone can challenge you and you what you need to be ready to give an what you need to be ready to give an answer to everyone that asks you the answer to everyone that asks you the answer to everyone that asks you the reason for the hope that is in you in reason for the hope that is in you in reason for the hope that is in you in meekness and fear and I just quoted a meekness and fear and I just quoted a meekness and fear and I just quoted a scripture and some of you know what scripture and some of you know what scripture and some of you know what verse I just quoted and the rest of you verse I just quoted and the rest of you verse I just quoted and the rest of you all better find all better find all better find out we're here to make a difference we out we're here to make a difference we out we're here to make a difference we are agents of change we are ambassadors are agents of change we are ambassadors are agents of change we are ambassadors of Christ he he puts his word in us of Christ he he puts his word in us of Christ he he puts his word in us because his word needs a body and then because his word needs a body and then because his word needs a body and then he sends that body with that word out he sends that body with that word out he sends that body with that word out into the marketplace in all the various into the marketplace in all the various into the marketplace in all the various fields of expression and Human fields of expression and Human fields of expression and Human Experience so that we can be a light in Experience so that we can be a light in Experience so that we can be a light in the darkness we are not a church who the darkness we are not a church who the darkness we are not a church who stands on the sideline and curses the stands on the sideline and curses the stands on the sideline and curses the darkness no we understand that if darkness no we understand that if darkness no we understand that if there's darkness which is the absence of there's darkness which is the absence of there's darkness which is the absence of why is because we're not in the mix why is because we're not in the mix why is because we're not in the mix shining bright and making a difference shining bright and making a difference shining bright and making a difference and representing Christ in culture no and representing Christ in culture no and representing Christ in culture no matter what area or industry or matter what area or industry or matter what area or industry or institution it may be and we know how to institution it may be and we know how to institution it may be and we know how to do it wisely we don't go to the office do it wisely we don't go to the office do it wisely we don't go to the office stand on a on a on on on a desk and stand on a on a on on on a desk and stand on a on a on on on a desk and start speaking in tongues tongues no we understand and this is important no we understand and this is important no we understand and this is important so I really want to get to the rest of so I really want to get to the rest of so I really want to get to the rest of this so I guess we we're going to do this so I guess we we're going to do this so I guess we we're going to do part part part three that was too week y'all are really getting me to walk week y'all are really getting me to walk off the stage aren't off the stage aren't off the stage aren't you we'll do part
