as the offering plates are being passed around pastor what's your chapter
turning the Bible to Genesis chapter number two Genesis chapter number two
Genesis chapter two thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the
host of them and on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made and he
rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made God blessed the
seventh day sanctified it because that in it he had rested he had rested from
all his work which he created and made these are the generations of the heavens
and of the earth when they were created in the day the Lord God made the
earth and the heavens and every plant of the field before it was in the earth and
every herb of the field before it grew for the Lord God had not caused it to
rain upon the earth and there was not a man to till the ground there went up a
mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground and the Lord
God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life and man became a living soul and the Lord God planted a garden
eastward in Eden there he put the man whom he had formed and out of the ground
made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good
for food and the tree of life also in the midst of the garden in the tree of
knowledge of good and evil and a river went out of Eden to water the garden
and from thence it was parted and became into four heads the name of the first
was Pisan that is that is it which can pass at the whole land of Havila there
where there is gold and the gold of that land is good and there is Midalium and
the onyx stone and the name of the second river is Gihon the same is it
that can pass at the whole land of Ethiopia and the name of the third
river is Hittekal that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria and the
fourth river is Euphrates the Lord God took the man and put him
in to the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it and the Lord God commanded
the man saying of every tree of the garden thou mayst freely eat but of the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it for in the day
that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die and the Lord God said is it
not good it is not good the man should be alone I will make him and help meet
for him and out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and
every fowl of the air and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them
and whatsoever Adam called every living creature that was the name thereof and
Adam gave names to all cattle and to all into the fowl of the air and every
beast of the field and for Adam there was found not there was not found and
help meet for him and the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam
and he slept and he took one of the one of his ribs and closed up the flesh
instead thereof and the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made he a
woman and brought her unto the man and Adam said this is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh and he called and she shall be called woman because she
was taken out of man therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall
cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh and they were both naked the
man and his wife and they were not ashamed. Let's pray. Gracious Lord, thankful to be
here in your house gathered. Pray Lord that you feel pastoralized with your spirit Lord. Help him to expound unto us the word of God, or help us to be ready to receive it Lord, tender hearted. Pray in Jesus' name Amen.
Amen all right well let's start reading in verse number 21 it says and the Lord
God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept and he took one of his
ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof and the rib which the Lord God
had taken from man made he a woman and brought her unto the man and Adam said
this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman
because she was taken out of a man therefore shall a man leave his father
and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh and
they were both naked the man and his wife and were not ashamed so this is a
very famous passage here about the creation of man and woman and we see in
this passage that Adam and Eve as they have been in a state where they have not
sinned yet they are naked together and they're not ashamed right because when
you're not doing anything wrong you're not ashamed you know I'm not ashamed to
stand before you guys in clothes today because that's normal and right but you
know a man and wife in private being naked together there's nothing shameful
about that there's nothing weird about that and especially here before sin had
even entered the world there's nothing at all wrong with this picture and so
because of that they have no shame whatsoever it's just normal but if you
look at the next chapter in verse number six notice what it says and when
the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the
eyes and a tree to be desired to make one wise she took of the fruit thereof
and did eat and gave also unto her husband with her and he did eat so this
is the point where sin enters into the world and there's a change that happens
here verse number seven it says in the eyes of them both were opened notice and
they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made
themselves aprons all of a sudden now that sin is entered into the world Adam
and Eve are kind of ashamed at their naked presence before God and God even
kind of calls them out on this in verse 11 it says and he said who told thee
that that was naked has thou eaten of the tree where of I commanded thee that
thou shouldest not eat so the title my sermon this morning is this the shame of
sin the shame of sin see the Bible highlights in this story here that sin
is shameful and that sin a natural result of sin is that it causes people
to be ashamed and it should we in society should continue to stigmatize
and shame sin but we live in a time where people are not wanting to do that
people are wanting to de stigmatize all manner of sins make it to where it's not
shameful have a judgment free world you're not allowed to look at sin and
call it out and judge it or shame it but the Bible teaches very clearly that sin
is shameful and it's funny even on the top of my Bible you know sometimes you
have like chapter headings mine says here for chapter three man's shameful
fall it's just interesting how the people who made this notice like hey
this is a shame when people sin so number one this morning go ahead and
turn to Jeremiah 6 number one it's very simple sin is shameful sin is shameful
I'll read for you Proverbs 14 as you as you turn Proverbs 14 34 says
righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people what is a
reproach it's like a cause of blame a cause of disgrace or discredit and the
Bible says that a righteous like righteousness exalts a nation makes it
successful makes it prosperous but sin is a reproach to any people so anyone
that's sinning you're gonna look at that group of people and say that's a shame
that's disgraceful that's discrediting of their society and it should be that way
that proverb is just giving us a truth but you know what it should be that way
Jeremiah 6 look what it says in verse number 15 this question is asked were
they ashamed when they had committed abomination nay they were not at all
ashamed neither could they blush therefore they shall fall among them
that fall at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down sayeth the Lord
notice that statement he says therefore they shall fall what is the therefore
therefore it's pointing to the fact that they weren't ashamed of their
abomination see God expects us to be ashamed of our sin he expects people to
view sin in a shameful light and he actually gets angry when you're not
ashamed of your sin he gets angry when a people is just committing abomination
and they're not even ashamed of it and of course just the low-hanging fruit
example of this is like pride month right because the Bible says prides and
abomination this is an extremely wicked crime it's a sin worthy of death the
Bible teaches and instead of being ashamed of that as a nation we have a
whole month where we celebrate pride and you know what God is looking down
saying like were they not ashamed of this abomination no they weren't even
ashamed we're actually just celebrating it and that actually makes God very
angry look at verse 16 it says thus saith the Lord stand ye in the ways and
see and ask for the old paths where is the good way and walk there in and ye
shall find rest for your souls but they said we will not walk there in see
there's nothing shameful about the old paths the old paths the Bible says is
where the good way is and today people will kind of want to make fun of you
call us fundies right fundamentalists oh you old fuddy-duddies oh you old
fashion Christians that don't want to have any fun but there's nothing
shameful about the old paths there's nothing shameful about the King James
Bible you know there's nothing shameful about living life according to the law
of God rather the world should be ashamed people who break God's
commandments should be ashamed you know sodomites should be ashamed we as a
nation should be ashamed for tolerating them for acting like it's normal sin
needs to be stigmatized again it needs to be made shameful again and you know
these sermons need to be preached all the time because the messaging in our
country every day is don't judge and you know there's even all these like
commercial campaigns has anyone sees the he gets us campaigns it's just like the
most demonic commercials I've ever seen all these commercials are is just
painting Jesus in an unbiblical light it'll show like people hanging out with
fags at gay bars and loving them and doing good under them and then the whole
by the time you get to the end of the commercial the whole thing was like an
allegory for how Jesus feels about a subject and these commercials are
constantly just pumping in this idea of like Jesus would never judge Jesus would
never make anyone feel ashamed Jesus doesn't want us to feel bad about our
sin but here we see God's angry because they were not ashamed of their sin so we
need to talk about some things that are shameful today we need to remind people
that sin is shameful and we need to continue to make it shameful in our
country here's an example go to Revelation chapter 3 Revelation chapter
3 and this is something that's rapidly changing in our culture nakedness is
shameful folks now of course husband and wife alone not ashamed but you know what
other than that you should be ashamed to be walking around naked look at
Revelation 3 verse 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire that
thou mayest be rich and white raiment that thou mayest be clothed notice and
that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear and anoint that eyes with I South
that thou mayest see see the Bible makes it clear that when you're naked it's
shameful it's embarrassing and for some reason like this has just gone out the
window in our country you know you study history and even like when the bikini
came out it was often chart people were charged criminally women for wearing
bikinis and there's even famous songs about how women are just embarrassed
to put on a bikini guess what that's right to be embarrassed you should be
embarrassed if you wear a bikini because you're naked that's it's just
gross it's not comely it's not seemly and we ought to just not sit here and be
so desensitized to us living here in the United States and unfortunately you see
this everywhere you go I mean it's hard to avoid seeing this stuff even just
walking down the street in public even just going soul-winning like you don't
have to go seek out some nasty you know seedy place to go see a bunch of naked
women like naked women are just everywhere all over our country and you
know what it's not right it's a shame to those ladies and oftentimes it's causing
men to stumble and causing men to sin and have wickedness in their hearts that
wouldn't have to be that way if women would just cover their bodies and stop
being so shameful now what is nakedness go to Exodus 28 Exodus 28 and see ladies
that actually have dignity have no problem with what I'm saying right now
like if they could say amen they would because I'll tell you this godly ladies
don't like a bunch of naked women walking around either like do you think
that godly wives just love it when all these whores walk around naked in front
of their husbands or fiancees or boyfriend like do you think ladies like
that no you know what but it needs to be shamed again we need to have some dads
raising daughters saying that's a shame to be dressed like that get back in the
house young lady you're not leaving dressed like that and even this just
blows my mind but even husbands sometimes need to look at their wives
and say whoa this is shameful for you to leave the house looking like this and
it's become so just normalized in our culture that in many churches in
America Sunday morning ladies will show up and be naked according to the Bible
and thank God we don't have that but that's happening all over the country
there's literal musicians at churches where the ladies in the band are naked
according to the Word of God let me show you that Exodus chapter 28 verse 42
notice what it says and thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their
nakedness and then it defines that from the loins even unto the thighs they
shall reach I mean this seems just like absolute common sense but today we got
to define it in our society that nakedness is exposing your loins or
exposing your thighs your thighs so ladies walking around wearing short
shorts many skirts many dresses those ladies are showing their nakedness
according to the Bible and you know what that should be a shame they should
people should just be aghast to see a woman walking around naked I mean that's
just mind-blowing when you actually view things through the lens of God's Word go
to first Timothy chapter number two so you know we got to teach our children
growing up and you know if you got saved later in life this is something that you
just have to have the discipline to examine yourself and make sure that you
are covering your loins and covering your thighs you ought to make sure that
when you sit down you're still not naked because sometimes lady ladies will be
covered standing but as soon as they sit down they're flashing everyone you know
you ought to actually have some character and make sure that you're
covering your nakedness because it's a shame 1st Timothy chapter 2 verse 9
notice what it says in like manner also that women adorn themselves notice in
modest apparel with shame-facedness and sobriety not with broidered hair or
gold or pearls or costly array so there's covering your nakedness that's
one aspect of how men and women should dress but then there's also being
modest and the reaction that a godly woman would have if her nakedness was to
be exposed for the world to see or she's just dressed so immodestly that
people could see every inch of her body the natural reaction that would be shame
that's why it says with shame-facedness so you know not only is it good enough
just to make sure you're physically you know covering your nakedness with some
sort of garment but you also ought to be modest meaning that you're not drawing
attention to yourself you're not trying to wear the tightest possible clothing so
that every single curve and line of your body is just visible to the whole world
that's still not right and that's still shameful and obviously this applies to
men too but you know what men are just so hideous and ugly we don't really feel
like showing ourself ourselves off that often now if it happens yeah dress
modestly guys yeah cover your nakedness we don't need the the 1980s running
shorts please those are disgusting don't wear those put some long shorts on that
cover your thighs but who really needs this preaching today let's be honest is
the ladies who really needs this is the young ladies that haven't had Christian
parents teach them what the Bible says or ladies that get saved later on in
life and they're used to dressing a certain way you know you ought to renew
your mind according to what the Bible says and say okay God wants me to be
covered he wants me to be modest and anything else is a shame and I'm not
here to tell you oh you're okay just the way you are no problem you should never
feel bad I'm telling you if you're showing your
nakedness if you are modest you should feel ashamed of yourself you should feel
uncomfortable you should be made to feel embarrassed because shame is a good
thing we need some shame in our society the absence of shame just brings the
most abominable sins you could think of and we're gonna see a lot of that in
this sermon go to if you would Habakkuk Habakkuk if you started Malachi go back
to Zechariah Haggai Zephaniah then Habakkuk towards the end of the Old
Testament there here's another thing that's shameful drunkenness is shameful
folks and a lot of the things that could happen to you while you're drunk or
things that you could do to others while you're drunk is shameful and again this
is why we need shame in our society because the lack of it causes things
like what we're about to read to happen. Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 15 notice it
says woe unto him that's a man that givest his neighbor drink that puttest
thy bottle to him that's another man and makest him drunken also that thou mayest
look on their nakedness. See one of the tactics that disgusting sodomites use
to prey on other men is this thing called alcohol and you know what it's
existed for a long time there's plenty of stories in the Bible of people
sexually assaulting other people using alcohol and it still happens to this
very day. In fact when I was in high school I took a law enforcement program
all through high school and this law enforcement instructor was at one point
a part of an investigation where a guy was basically ended up having all these
health problems he went into a doctor and the doctor told him you need to
stop being a sodomite this is back in the day okay you need to stop having
these sodomite relationships and this guy is just appalled he's like what the
hell are you talking about I'm not a queer like he's just super upset about
it because he's not a fact and he to his knowledge had never engaged in this
stuff but turns out in his college dorm his roommate that he was rooming with
was constantly getting him super drunk mixing things in his alcohol and abusing
and taking advantage of him and it finally took him starting having health
problems with his body to realize what was happening to him you know that the
Bible talks about that exact same thing but today how is alcohol viewed it's
looked at something to have a good time oh let's have a party let's let off some
steam let's have a good time or they'll show commercials of like high class
people at a nice restaurant black tie event everyone has champagne and they'll
look like it's something that's classy or to be desired or good but what's the
reality of alcohol people getting drunk and taking advantage of other people a
lot of the rapes that happen in this world happen to people that are under
the influence of alcohol or even if it's not just a straight-up rape if it's
just something that's consensual but you're so blacked out drunk that you
don't even remember it that's still a gross thing that wouldn't have happened
if you weren't drunk look at verse 16 thou art filled with shame for glory
drink thou also and let thy foreskin be uncovered that doesn't sound fun that
sounds pretty shameful right the cup of the Lord's right hand shall be turned
unto thee and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory that makes me think of
people just vomiting everywhere projectile vomiting you're in public
you're at someone's house you're at a restaurant you're getting drunk and all
of a sudden there's just shameful spewing ruining the night but guess what
that happens when people drink alcohol and we need to get back to a view in
society that says drinking alcohol is not cool it's not fun it's not for having a
good time it's shameful and the Bible says that when you're deceived by wine
you're a fool so not only is it shameful it's just stupid like you're an idiot if
you drink alcohol and again we should stop having churches and pastors that
tell people you're great just the way you are oh we'll never judge you for
anything that you do you should never feel bad for anything I'm here to tell
you you should be embarrassed if you drink alcohol why because it's shameful
and because you're stupid that's why and you know I don't care who does that I
don't care if your parents do it I don't care if your professor or someone you
look up to as being wise the Bible says that person is stupid the Bible says
that that person is doing something that's shameful and you ought to never
get involved with it go to Jeremiah chapter number 11 but I mean think about
it this happened same thing to Noah Noah got drunk and his sodomite son Ham did
something despicable to him about lots daughters lots daughters goes and gets
him drunk and lot ends up impregnating two of his own daughters I mean this is
just inconceivable for people to do something that gross but when you start
drinking alcohol it's all on the table your judgment goes out the window your
standards everything goes out the window and you start doing shameful acts
here's another thing that's shameful idolatry Jeremiah 11 11 therefore thus
saith the Lord behold I will bring evil upon them which they shall not be able
to escape and though they shall cry unto me I will not harken unto them then
shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry
unto the gods whom they offer incense but they shall not save them at all in
the time of their trouble for according to the number of thy cities were thy
gods oh Judah and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem
notice what it says have you set up alters to that shameful thing even alters
to burn incense unto Baal you know idolatry according to the Bible is
something that is shameful what is idolatry setting up making a graven
image of stone or of wood people bowing down to these images worshipping them
you got the Catholic Church kneel before statues of Mary or other saints and pray
unto them that is shameful what and think about it why is it shameful
because they're think about they're kneeling down before something doesn't
have eyes it doesn't have ears it can't hear them it can't talk to them it can't
answer their prayers and they're just kneeling before it and communing with
this inanimate object that really just represents devils according to the New
Testament like that's shameful it's like it's like I would think that is that
person drunk you know like is this person drunk like thinking that they
could talk to this piece of wood it's it's retarded but yet most of this world
is involved in idolatry Hinduism all over India all over the Eastern countries
the Eastern religions of this world are huge into idolatry making statues
kneeling before them and thank God it's not the biggest thing in the world here
in Oklahoma especially but it exists in our country and a lot of people in our
country will look up to and venerate and love idols like the Statue of Liberty
and many Baptists who know what the Ten Commandments say they've read these
chapters if I proposed to them that we should destroy the Statue of Liberty they
would freak out they would act like it's blasphemous to want to get rid of that
but you know what that statue is wicked as hell that's that statue is a shame to
our country like it's a shame it's like all right let's go to America and what
do we have greeting us some like transvestite a statute a statue of a
transvestite it looks like a man dressed like a woman and it's supposed to be you
know welcoming arms to everyone in the world it's like I don't even want to do
that anyways like we need to stop with that as it is and what it represents
isn't even that good not to mention the fact that it's just an abomination
before God that it's ugly it's an idol it's an idol it's gross it's shameful
you know the statue of Abraham Lincoln in Washington people love to go and take
pictures with it that statue should be blown up oh Thomas Jefferson the statue
of him someone should put some bombs on that thing and blow it up the government
should okay we should get rid of that you know what I'm saying get rid of
these disgusting idols you know the Mount Rushmore where they're carving
into the stone images of former presidents and there's talk about how
they want to put Trump's face on there look that's gross it doesn't matter who
that person is it does not matter like even if it's a really good person like I
heard that at First Baptist Church of Hammond Indiana there's like a statue of
Dr. Jack Hiles look that's wicked and I think that pastor Hiles was a great man
and I think that he's up in heaven and I think he's ashamed of that I think that
he would want that thing destroyed I think that he came back he would be
nuking that thing you know what we should not have statues of anyone we
should not have graven images of anything it is a shame and you ought to
just realize that not every time your American patriotism little heart does not
always match up with the Word of God and look I love the United States but I'm
telling you anything that the Bible says is condemning of America we should
just believe what the Bible says we should submit ourselves to it and say
okay let's get rid of all the idols because remember a few years ago there
was like a battle over oh are we gonna get rid of all these civil war
monuments and really it's coming from like a bunch of leftists that just hate
white people that hate America they want all these things destroyed and then
conservatives on the other hand they want to cling to their American heritage
but it's like both sides are wrong it's like on one hand you guys want
idolatry in order to preserve your American heritage that's wrong on the
other side are just brain-dead leftists that want to erase history a bunch of
communists it's it's both wrong what if I told you we could have books that's
how we should preserve history okay books not statues those are an
abomination to God good Jeremiah 13 turn the page
Jeremiah 13 here's another thing that's shameful that needs to be made shameful
again is adultery and whoredom this should be extremely shamed in our
country Jeremiah 13 26 therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face that
thy shame may appear I mean think about that image for a second God's saying
like I'm gonna make you even more shameful than you already are I'm gonna
discover your skirts upon your face that everyone could see your nakedness why
verse 27 I have seen thine adulteries and thy naeings the lewdness of thy
whoredom and thine abominations on the hills in the fields woe unto thee o
Jerusalem wilt thou not be made clean when shall it once be so notice how this
sin is described it's described as lewdness it's described as abominations
you know what it's not described as an affair it's not described as a one-night
stand it's not described as oh a little fling with your work wife or your work
husband no it's an abomination it's lewd it's shameful and it just goes to
show how little shame we have in our country when there's literal websites
that exist to help you commit adultery that you just go on some site and find
some other whore that wants to commit adultery and you guys could go with
your lewdness and your names and your abominations and we just let it happen
you know it used to be actually illegal and it should be illegal like the
government should be punishing crimes according to the word of God and the
Bible teaches that this is in fact a capital crime that it's not just oh some
sin no in God's eyes this sin is so heinous and so wicked that if someone
does this he thinks that you should be killed that you should be executed that
you're not even fit to live in society because I mean there's nothing sacred to
you if you're willing to go violate someone else's marriage or violate your
own marriage like nothing is sacred to you someone who's willing to go that low
to commit adultery will pretty much just do anything you know because they
have no shame they're not embarrassed to do something so gross I'll read for you
Exodus 20 verse 10 it says and the man that committed adultery with another
man's wife even he that committed adultery with his neighbor's wife the
adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death you know it used to be that
in our country this was shamed it used to be that it was illegal and even in
the 1830s when President Andrew Jackson was in office he married a woman who was
separated from her husband but she was not officially divorced he married a
woman and committed adultery in that way and the nation was just appalled a lot
of the nation was just insanely angry that the president would marry a woman
who was technically still married and think about it today if someone separated
they're not in a relationship anymore most people wouldn't even view that as
adultery they was like oh no we broke up we set we separated so I'm good now
I'm on the market no no that's adultery and divorce and remarriage is adultery
according to the Word of God and many people in the 1830s understood that you
know even in the 90s when it came out that President Bill Clinton committed
adultery in the Oval Office a lot of people were angry and upset and you know
what should have happened to the president the president should have gone
through a trial he should have been found guilty if there was evidence and
he should have been executed the commander-in-chief the president of our
country should have been lawfully charged and prosecuted and if convicted
he should have been sentenced with death because that's a shame to our nation
when the leader is committing adultery when the leader is committing adultery in
the sacred White House I mean that's disgusting it's terrible it's an
abomination it's shameful you know this loser freak Bill Clinton is coming to
Oklahoma City in a few days to give a speech about the Oklahoma City bombing
you know what I don't want this guy in my state I don't want this guy in my
city this is a gross person who committed adultery that's worthy of
contempt and shame because guess what when you commit adultery the Bible says
your approach will not be wiped away and especially when you're in position of
leadership and you violate that sacred oath that you made before God you should
be ashamed pastors that commit adultery good night I can't believe that people
go to churches where the pastor himself has committed adultery where the pastor
himself has been divorced and remarried like what are people doing I'll tell you
what it is people forgot that sin is shameful and they've been told their
whole life don't judge oh we all have problems and we do all have problems but
you know what not all of us have committed sins worthy of death not all
of us have been committing sins in the first Corinthians chapter number five
list yeah we're all sinners but we're not all involved in shameful lewd
abominations and you know a pastor that commits adultery should obviously step
down and never pastor again but apparently needs to be said because you
guys you got guys like Greg Locke where lots and lots of people go to his church
look up to him want to listen to his preaching the guy is disqualified
because he's an adulterer go to Proverbs chapter number 31 Proverbs
chapter number 31 I tried to find some figures on the percentage of Americans
that commit adultery and it's kind of hard to find because this is such a
shameful thing that I'm sure many people just don't offer that information
willingly and are embarrassed of it but from what I did find 20% of Americans
openly admit to committing adultery so those are the people that that not only
are such terrible people that they commit adultery but also have such a
little shame that they're like yeah let me offer that information up to you I
commit adultery 20% folks one in five Americans commit this sin why is this
happening it's because it's been destigmatized it's been seen as no big
deal we loosen the laws on adultery we loosen the laws on divorce and
remarriage we we have examples of pastors and presidents doing it and so
people just think oh it's not a big deal oh yeah everyone does it oh one in five
look this should be a major shame and God forbid we ever have this issue at
anchor Baptist Church God forbid I ever as a pastor I really hope I never have
to deal with someone committing this sin it is so shameful and gross let's never
go there if you are a guy that is struggling with this and having these
thoughts let me know and I'll just like slap you if you want to like wake you
up like if you want some pastoral counseling or a pastor I'm struggling
with committing adultery I'll help you you're gonna ruin your life like
something other than actually committing adultery please and ladies if maybe my
wife can talk to you or something I don't know but God forbid that would
ever happen but here's the thing it does happen folks it's happened in a lot of
churches I've been to and at least at least you know now where we stand at
anchor Baptist Church at least you know if you do this you will be made to feel
ashamed someone commits adultery it's common knowledge it will be preached
about maybe not you specifically but the sin will be called out you know if
someone gets divorced and they want to get remarried okay be prepared to be
uncomfortable with some hard preaching and if I find out someone wants to get
divorced and remarried and they're like inviting church members to the wedding
you will be kicked out of church because we are not going to have a church that
de-stigmatizes one of the worst sins one of the most damaging sins one of the
sins that'll ruin your marriage ruin your children I mean how many kids are
growing up in multi-family homes nowadays two dads two moms two
Christmases dealing with the stepdad how many people are getting molested by the
stepdad right this stuff happens all the time and it comes down to committing
adultery oftentimes why did marriages split oftentimes it comes down to
adultery it needs to be shamed look at Proverbs 31 verse 1 it says the words
of King Lemuel the prophecy that his mother taught him what my son and what
the son of my womb and what the son of my vows give not thy strength unto women
nor thy ways to that which destroyeth Kings I read this verse and I tend to
think that it's primarily talking about fornication and adultery and those
types of sins and the Bible says that we're not supposed to give our strength
as men unto women and today men will kind of brag like they're so strong
they're so masculine they're so macho because they could just sleep with tons
of women but you know what that's not a strong thing to do that's incredibly
weak I mean to brag about just giving your flesh anything it wants that's the
opposite of strength folks but you got guys like Andrew Tate and his brother
Tristan Tate and Tristan Tate makes videos where he brags about how he uses
his wealth and charm to pick up virgins takes her virginity and then dumps her
moves to the next girl and he brags like this is something that's cool that he
should teach young men to do or something to follow that's not strength
that's utter cowardice and weakness and it's shameful it's an abomination it's
gross if you look up to the Tates you are a loser like why don't you just
scream that you're a beta male with no character and you have like no
discernment whatsoever just scream it from the housetops because you're weak
if you like those guys those are not men they're a terrible example of
masculinity that's true toxic masculinity folks let me tell you what's
good masculinity giving your strength to one woman awarding your strength to one
woman and keeping it for her for your whole life taking care of her cherishing
her loving her not just giving it to whatever woman that's weakness and it's
so just unbelievable to me that this is a idol in our society Andrew Tate people
actually look up to this guy as being cool this guy is a piece of trash and
you know what I hope that he gets prosecuted with all his human trafficking
charges because he's made videos explaining how he does human trafficking
like I don't know how much more evidence that we need this guy is a human
trafficker and I hope that he does get charged and convicted go to Proverbs
chapter number 10 a few pages back what else is shameful some things that we
need to bring back some shame about how about being lazy this needs to be shamed
again Proverbs 10 verse 5 he that gather it in summer is a wise son but he that
sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame I mean think about if
you're a farmer if you're working in the agricultural world and it's harvest
it's time to reap all the rewards of the hard work that you and your fellow
laborers put in and it's time to make the money you know a lot of times
farmers they only get paid once a year at harvest all right it's harvest time
and the son's just sleeping the son's just not working not doing anything you
know what that causes that causes shame you know imagine all the other workers
saying like where's your son where's the worker it's harvest time where is he at
oh he's sleeping oh he's doing nothing that's shameful what do we have today we
have a bunch of people that eternally live off of the welfare system they're
not wanting to work mean there's there's Instagram videos there's this one
specific account I don't remember the name of it but it's this black woman who
makes videos of her going and using all of her food stamps and mocking the
government and mocking the taxpayer for her like buying the most worthless and
stupid garbage and her just like glorying in the fact that she's on
welfare and she's taking all the taxpayer dollars like that should be a
shame folks look there's sometimes I get people get down on their luck people
get some sort of disability some sort of injury they're old no one has anyone to
take care of them I understand there could be situations like that but the
majority of people that are on these are just lazy people they're just lazy and
what do we have today the bleeding heart mentality towards the homeless
community you know what it is it's the lazy drug addict drunkard community is
what it is sure you could show me the the 1% that makes the other 99% look bad
no it's really the fact is the majority of them are on drugs the majority of
them are lazy I remember one time right after high school I took this job in the
summer or maybe it was early spring yeah it was for tax returns I worked at
Liberty tax and I remember you know I was preparing people's tax returns and
the boss wanted to hire one of those Statue of Liberty people that go out
and flip the signs or whatever we interview this person they do the
interview my boss offers this person the job they accept but then the next day
we see that same person sitting on the side of the road with a sign but it's
not the Liberty tax sign it's the I'm homeless give me money give me help sign
and we're just like this person was gonna get paid a job to hold a sign and
actually make money from a legitimate way of serving his company but instead
he just wants to hold his homeless sign and take money from a bunch of idiots
bleeding hearts that say all this poor person's down on their luck they just
can't get a job you don't realize that they just had a job interview and a lot
of times to get government benefits you have to show that you're searching for
jobs and this person was literally just a fraud show up do the interview yeah no
problem I'll come to work tomorrow we drive to work and I see that same person
just begging for money look do not give the homeless money do not give the
homeless money and I would say don't even give them food or water you know
why because the Bible says that if a man will not work neither should he eat
yeah it's very obvious to tell when someone has lost their legs and their
arms and their eyes like that's a big difference between that and like a 26
year old young man who just got out of the interview Liberty tax sitting on the
side of the road those people should be shamed one time I heard pastor Anderson
preach that when he sees these people he rolls down the window and just screams
get a job you lazy jerk and he said that if everyone did that that we would
bring shame back and it's like that's true I would rather you roll down your
window and yell at them to get a job then give them a single cent and it's
funny because I work with a bunch of people and I have throughout my life
where you interact with homeless people out of the job and sometimes they'll be
like well I would never give them money but I will give them food and they act
like this is a point of pride like it's something honorable and good but it's
like you're enabling them you're still helping them be a lazy piece of crap
you're still enabling their shameful lifestyle you know what causes people to
work hard hunger hunger will cause people to get a job hunger will cause
people to go through anything to make money to eat that's just something that
God put inside of us as a driving mechanism and sometimes these people
actually need to be hungry they need to reach rock bottom they need to be shamed
because guess what that's actually the thing that's gonna help them that's
actually gonna be the thing that's the loving thing to do because people love to
say oh I'm so loving I'm helping them no you're hurting them this mentality is
actually loving this mentality is actually helping them because it'll get
them out of their situation with that in mind go to first Corinthians 15 first
Corinthians 15 talking about how being lazy is shameful it's a shame when
people won't work when people beg for money when they're able-bodied when
they're not producing in society you know it's the same thing for Christians
in verse 34 it says awake to righteousness and sin not for some have
not the knowledge of God I speak this to your shame you know Christ left this
earth giving us a mission giving us a job and you know that job is preaching
the gospel winning people to Jesus Christ and when people don't have the
knowledge of God they haven't been warned they haven't been given the
gospel you know what that's a shame on us it would be a shame on anchor Baptist
Church if this community did not know how to go to heaven when they die now
if we knock on their door and they reject us they don't want to listen okay
that's on them but you know what warning is on us it's on us as a church but
here's also what you have to understand it's on you as an individual you as an
individual you will stand before Christ someday you will be judged according to
your works and just because your husband goes soul winning doesn't mean that
you're gonna be doing your job just because your parents go Sony doesn't
mean kids that you're getting your parents rewards you need to preach the
gospel yourself and look we try to make it easy we try to have a bunch of soul
winning times we try to tell you you don't have to be a talker right away you
could be a silent partner you can learn but I'm telling you if you don't take
those steps if you don't have the desire whatsoever to get someone saved you
should be ashamed and sometimes people don't like coming to churches that go
soul winning because they feel ashamed if they don't good let's keep that
culture because I'm more worried about being ashamed in front of Christ for
not preaching this or for not going soul winning then offending someone who's
lazy because that's what someone is that refuses to go soul winning refuses to
obey Christ's command is just lazy folks and you know what it's like yeah
sometimes it's hard sometimes it's snowing sometimes the wind is blowing
sometimes you know it's Saturday and it's exactly 12 p.m. and you got to fight
that stupid tornado siren you're like if you were to die today you know as the
sirens screaming around you but you just do it anyways because it's our job
because we don't want to be ashamed go to first Corinthians 11 flip back you
notice there's a lot in the Bible about sin being shameful we need to make sin
shameful again here's a big one first Corinthians 11 verse 5 but every woman
that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head for
that is even all one as if she were shaven so this is talking about the
length of a woman's hair and it's saying that if she has short hair she might as
well just be shaven why it says for if the woman be not covered let her also be
shorn but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven let her be
covered for a man indeed ought not to cover his head for as much as he is the
image and glory of God but the woman is the glory of the man for the man is not
of the woman but the woman of the man neither was the man created for the
woman but the woman for the man for this cause ought the woman to have power on
her head because of the angels nevertheless neither is the man without
the woman neither the woman without the man in the Lord for as the woman is of
the man even so is the man also by the woman but all things of God judge in
yourselves is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered doth not even
nature itself teach you that if a man have long hair it is a shame unto him I
find it interesting how in this passage the author is actually talking to the
audience and saying you judge in yourselves like why don't you just use
your brain use your human thinking for a second and just think is it comely for a
woman to be praying or prophesying with short hair and the rhetorical answer is
obviously no it's not comely no it's not seemly it's obviously gross that's why
it says that even nature itself teaches you that if a man have long hair it is a
shame unto him we as human beings naturally if we saw a man with long hair
we would say what's wrong with that guy that's gross that's weird and in the
same way when we see a woman with short hair we say that's not normal that's not
right that's gross that's ugly and it's funny it plays out this way all the time
how do lesbians like to do their hair they like to get themselves a Marine
Corps high and tight haircut don't they or they like to grow it out to one side
nice and long and just shave the other side of their head just to look like a
complete freak and it's like nature itself teaches you this is wrong this is
wicked and you should ask yourself if lesbians love to do their hair like
that why would Christian want women want to do the same right and then it's like
fags what do they traditionally do they love to grow out their hair all long
they like to look all feminine and act like girls and we look at men with long
hair and say that's a red flag that's creepy that's not normal and nature
itself teaches us that that that is a shame we need to bring back shame on how
people dress and look according to God's standards I'm not for shaming people for
things that they can't control or you know deformities that happen to them in
life that's not right but you know what you could choose to grow out your hair
and look like a faggot man that's a choice that a man made and that should be
a shame if women by their own choice just shave their head that's gross
that's shameful that's not okay we need to bring back shame for that go to 1st
Corinthians chapter number 14 1st Corinthians chapter number 14 and you
know as our world gets darker and darker it's so much easier to be a light by
your simple bodily presence alone you know everyone wants to be like a rebel
and then kind of be counterculture like in this society if you just wear nice
straight laced clothing and your clean cut you got a nice haircut man or ladies
you've got a nice skirt or dress on and your hair is long like people will know
about what you believe oftentimes just by seeing you like that's how crazy our
society has gotten is that when I see ladies in skirts and dresses I just
assume you're a Christian and I'm probably right about that because most
the time ladies aren't just going around wearing skirts and dresses and if I see
a dude with a nice haircut he looks sharp he's got a suit and tie he's got
his family with him I'm gonna assume this is a Christian man if I see a guy
with long hair and painted nails and looks all feminine I'm gonna assume this
is probably a queer this is probably an effeminate weirdo here's another thing
that's shameful is feminism 1st Corinthians 14 verse 34 let your women
keep silence in the churches for it is not permitted unto them to speak but
they are commanded to be under obedience as also say at the law and if they will
learn anything let them ask their husbands at home for it is a what shame
for women to speak in the church man we've just lost our shame in our country
to where there's many churches you can go to today where a woman will get
behind the pulpit and preach the sermon a woman will get up on the stage and
lead the services this is everywhere in our country now it's becoming really
popular even when I lived in Texas right by my house there's this packed church
every Sunday it was packed and on the sign it said like Reverend Katie
something and I'm just like do these people have no shame showing up to a
church where a woman is preaching when the Bible says that it's not permitted
for them to speak in church that there to be under obedience as also say at
the law that if they want to learn anything they're supposed to ask their
husbands at home not get behind the pulpit and preach a sermon that is
gross it's shameful and this feminist mentality that's been existing for so
long in our country has even gotten to fundamental Baptists it's even gotten to
pastors homes unfortunately where you're seeing the ugly head of feminism being
reared all over the place even in new IFB churches and what was a big split
recently over it was about man's authority in the home and apparently
there was even a bunch of pastors and a bunch of weak men in the pews that don't
truly believe in the authority of the husband that don't truly believe in the
authority of the father they might say that they do but then their preaching
comes out that they're like oh yeah you know you should never spank a teenager
for any reason okay so I guess the teenagers are in charge I guess the
teenagers have the authority oh you know a man isn't really in charge of his wife
well the Bible says that he is and last time I checked hard preaching preaching
Ephesians 5 preaching Colossians preaching the Bible you know us being
fundamental Baptist this is not what's ruining our country folks you know what
it is it's the feminism that's ruining it and why in the world do we have
churches backing up feminists why in the world do we have pastors wives getting
online teaching everyone the Bible going online rebuking pastors talking back to
pastors it is a shame I you know my wife she would never do this in a million
years but I would be ashamed if she even went on Facebook and commented
disagreeing with a pastor and she could have her opinion amen that's fine she
could have whatever opinion she wants but if a pastor went and posted
something and my wife said well actually here's why you're wrong I would just be
like sick to my stomach like I don't even know I would have to consider
stepping down it's that bad folks it's that shameful for a woman to be rebuking
a pastor talking back to a pastor imagine what the home is like and imagine
the and here's the thing this is why this has to be preached so much is
because we are we are all sinful men have their sinful proclivities ladies
have their sinful proclivities and right from the beginning of Genesis woman
wants to run the show she wants to be in charge she wants to buck her husband
she wants to make the decisions for her family the last thing we need is church
emboldening women to keep doing that the last thing we need is to take away the
shame of feminism in the house of God no if you're gonna be a feminist if
you're gonna disobey your husband if you're to be a loudmouth online fighting
with pastors know that we think you're a shame know that we are thinking here
that's gross wow the husband needs to get a handle on that wow that's not
gonna be tolerated here because if we don't do that it'll just start to fester
and grow and then it'll just become normal and then we keep seeing this crap
happening you want to know why we have women pastors it starts by having
feminist pastor wives that's where it starts it starts by ladies in the
congregation thinking that they could run the show at church you know telling
the pastor what to do back talking being a loudmouth it starts there and
then here we are we have feminist pastors here we are
Donald Trump gets elected and he goes to the Washington you know Cathedral and
the sermon that's being preached for his inauguration is given by some short
haired woman what a shame to our country you know ladies you ought to have a meek
and quiet spirit you ought to obey your husband and you know what that does not
make you of lesser value it makes you honorable the opposite is what's
shameful what's a shame is when you're feminist when you're obedient and
submissive and love your husband and love your children you know what we look
at women like that the men in this room and we think that's a great person
that's a godly woman that's someone to be honored and praised and you know what
I see a lot of women like that thank God for those ladies those are the ladies
that other ladies should be looking up to and following the example of you know
ladies that are older or more experienced or more wise in the Lord you
don't pass on that that knowledge by starting a podcast or preaching sermons
or these type of things you know what you do it you do it by living the
Christian life you do it by showing up to church with a good attitude you do it
that when your husband speaks to you you obey and you're reverent to him and you
don't go talk crap about him and you're a good person and you're a soul winner
and you're faithful to church that's how you lead that example and guess what in
the sight of God those are the ladies that God honors and that God cherishes
and he thinks that feminism is a shame go to 1st Peter chapter 3 1st Peter
chapter number 3 and it's funny like what I'm preaching is just the Bible it's
just the doctrine of the Word of God but people that despise God's Word you know
what they'll say is they'll say that this type of preaching is insecure but
you know what's funny I'm very secure and what the Bible says and I didn't
create the rules I didn't create Adam and Eve I didn't write the Bible I
didn't ordain that men are the pastors that men are the leaders you know what
God did and we ought to be secure in what God said and not try to fight it
and I'm not gonna be ashamed to preach what the Bible says call me whatever you
want call me insecure call me you know a married MGTOW stupid false accusation Oh
pastor Oz is like a married MGTOW that's what pastor Tommy McMurtry said
that I am a married MGTOW you know what you should be ashamed pastor Tommy
McMurtry that your wife is a loudmouth feminist you should be ashamed I look at
a household like that and I think this is a reproach to Christianity people see
this and think why would I want to be a Christian if my wife is gonna be like
this it's gross you shouldn't call their names who cares I mean this is a bad
example if you're in the ministry you open yourself up to these kind of things
hey I get my name talked about you want to call me a MGTOW I can talk about how
your wife is a terrible example that she's a loudmouth a gossip a railer and
a terrible person that's the truth 1st Peter chapter 3 verse 1 likewise ye
wives be in subjection to your own husbands that if any obey not the word
they may they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives
while they behold notice your chaste conversation coupled with fear what
often wins people over is a woman's chaste conversation you know what young
men when they're looking for a wife you know causes them to fall in love with
that young lady it's her chaste lifestyle it that she has a meek and
quiet spirit she loves her mom and dad she's a hard worker those things cause
Godly men to fall in love with women like that and marry them, right?
And so even in a situation like this the Bible is giving an example of what if a woman's married to a man who's not saved?
Well, she could potentially win him over by living a godly life by being a godly Christian
But you know how you're never gonna win your husband over is by nagging him. You will never win him over
You will never get him to love you more by you commanding him to love you more
You will never get him to spend more time with you by you commanding him to spend more time with him
This is just true. You do these things by honoring him revering him being a godly person
And then he could be won over oftentimes and notice what it says in verse 3 who's adorning
let it not be that outward adorning of plating the hair and of wearing of gold or if putting on of apparel but
Let it be the hidden man of the heart in that which is not corruptible
Even the notice ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price
So when it comes to how godly women should behave it says hey, you don't want to adorn yourself
What does the door mean to put on to decorate?
You don't want necessarily just adorn yourself with all of these external things like plating the hair wearing gold or putting on of apparel
But rather you would want to adorn or put on this ornament of a meek and quiet spirit
Here's why I think these words are really important in this verse is because some people will say like well
You know, I don't have like a natural submissive personality and you know what that might be true
Maybe some ladies are you know, not as naturally submissive naturally as meek and quiet as other ladies
But here's the thing the Bible doesn't say oh good thing that you all are just naturally meek and quiet and obedient
It says that you have to put on these things so you don't get to use this excuse
Telling everyone that you just have a different you have a fiery personality. You're just a go girl
You're just naturally a feminist all women are naturally feminists to some extent
But you know what you have to do you have to adorn a meek and quiet spirit you have to you know
You know what's called crucify the flesh you have to put off the old man or the old woman in this case
You have to put on the new woman and what does the new woman do it says?
In verse 5 for after this manner in the old time the holy women also who trusted in God
Adorned themselves being in subjection unto their own husbands even as Sarah obeyed Abraham
Calling him Lord whose daughters he are as long as he do well and are not afraid with any amazement
So notice the Bible's giving ladies an example of who you should look up to who you should be like. It's Sarah
What was Sarah doing? She was calling her husband Lord or boss in her heart
She wasn't even necessarily saying that out loud when you go to the story
She was calling Abraham Lord in her heart, but you know what? It's not like Sarah was born just
Automatically righteous automatically godly automatically submissive, you know what she did
She decided to put on meekness to put on submissiveness and honor to her husband
And that's why she's a godly woman go to Psalm chapter number 69
So we talked about how sin is shameful, but we think about that
Here's another thing to think about number two is that Jesus Christ took our shame on himself
You know, that's a sobering thought because while a lot of the things that we talked about this morning are like capital crimes first Corinthians five
Situations the truth is all of us have sinned and all of us sin every day and our sin is also worthy of shame
We should also be ashamed of our sins no matter how trivial you think they are
You know we should be ashamed of our sin and it's because of our sin that our Lord and Savior had to take our shame
Upon himself and you know that should make us humble that should make us thankful to Jesus Christ
And as we're approaching Easter, you know
It's a good time of year to think about the suffering the torture the mockery the shame
That Jesus Christ endured who didn't deserve it for you and for me
That is an amazing amount of love look at psalm 69 verse 18 draw nigh unto my soul and redeem it
Deliver me because of mine enemies thou hast known my reproach notice and my shame and my dishonor
My adversaries are all before thee would we see in that reproach?
Shame and dishonor and this is talking about the Lord Jesus Christ
You know, those are three things that should not describe Jesus, right?
Because he's the only person who's ever lived that absolutely was never deserving of any shame any reproach any dishonor
He was a hundred percent perfect. He never sinned yet. He bore in himself all those things for us verse 20
reproach hath broken my heart and I am full of heaviness and I looked for some to take pity but there was none and
For comforters, but I found none, you know
You and I could not even begin to comprehend the amount of pain and shame and reproach that Jesus Christ
Endured on the cross. I can't fathom it you can't fathom it but just think of these words how it says
Reproach hath broken my heart
You know what we all probably have gone through before is our hearts have probably been broken before over something, right?
And often starts in our youth with maybe someone you're in love with or you lose a child
Or you lose a loved one or something terrible happens in your life
You know, we've all had a broken heart before right and think about this. Jesus Christ is
Sinless never deserved anything wrong and he sat there and endured his heart breaking for us
You know that makes me really love Jesus Christ makes me really thankful for him
Talks about how he was full of heaviness
He looked for some to take pity but there was none and for comforters, but I found none
They gave me also gall for my meat and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink
So, you know while we absolutely need to restigmatize
Sins and especially these big major sins. We also at the same time need to balance that idea
Realizing that we too are sinners and our sin brought shame on Jesus Christ
And when we sin now it brings shame on Jesus Christ and we ought to have a low and humble view of ourselves
And when we sin, you know, we ought to do confess it to God and ask him to forgive us
Why because it is shameful when we do wrong?
We should be ashamed but you know what you should do
You should ask for God to forgive you of that go to Hebrews chapter number 12 Hebrews chapter number 12
Hebrews chapter 12 look at verse 1 it says wherefore?
Seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which death so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race
That is set before us
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him notice endured the cross
Despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God for consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners
Against himself lest he be wearied and faint in your minds. You have not yet resisted unto blood
Striving against sin so we are supposed to consider him the Bible says we're supposed to really think about and internalize
The fact that Jesus Christ endured the cross for us and that when he did it he despised the shame
He wasn't you know, Jesus was fully man, you know
He wasn't immune to the emotions that you and I would be going through at that time
He really got spit on in his face. He really had his beard ripped off from him
He had these little peon Romans that he could have destroyed in a moment. He had these little peon
Romans making fun of him questioning him if he's the son of God
Wearing his garments walking around in his garments, right just mocking him making fun of him torturing him giving him vinegar and
All to drink the Bible says that Jesus when he did that despised it hated it
and you ought to think about how you and I played a role in why Jesus had to go through that and it should always
Make us have a humble attitude and it should make us feel this way number three
We should not be ashamed of Jesus
We should not be ashamed of Jesus when I think about how shameful sin really is and how Jesus endured all that shame
Himself and I think about how I am partially responsible for him enduring that shame
You know what it makes me realize is that I should never be ashamed of Jesus Christ
I should never be ashamed of his words
I should never be ashamed of being a pastor of preaching the word of God of having the King James Bible
I should never be ashamed of those things go to Matthew chapter number. I'm sorry mark chapter number eight mark chapter number eight
You know sadly many Christians today. They're not ashamed of missing church
They're not ashamed of not being a soul winner. They're not ashamed of drinking alcohol committing fornication
You know what they're ashamed of other people knowing that they're Christian
You know, they're ashamed of dressing in a way that people know you're saved
They're ashamed of walking around holding their Bible somewhere. They're ashamed to say oh, I go to this church
They're ashamed to say I'm new IFB, you know, they're ashamed of all these different things
You know what?
The real shame is is sin not the things of God mark chapter 8 verse 38
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation of him
Also shall the son of man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his father with the holy angels
Look if Jesus endured shame for us that he did not
Deserve any perceived shame that you get for serving God
you should just willingly take and accept and not be ashamed of Jesus Christ because when you are the Bible says that he's
Ashamed of us that he's gonna be ashamed of those who are ashamed of his words
See Jesus is not gonna be ashamed of the churches and the pastors that have bad reviews online for preaching the word of God
Who maybe have some news articles who maybe have some protests who maybe have some lawsuits and some negativity
You know, what he's gonna be ashamed of is pastors that won't preach the full counsel of God
Churches that are too afraid to actually say the truth
Those are the people that Jesus is gonna be ashamed of because no one's ashamed of the all the sweet nice stuff in the Bible
Love thy neighbor. I've yet to meet a Christian who's ashamed of that verse, you know
I've yet to meet a Christian who's ashamed of Jesus wept father forgive them for they know not what they do
Charity suffereth long charity endureth all things. I've yet to meet Christians that are ashamed of these things
But really what are Christians often ashamed of they're ashamed of Psalm 58
They're same ashamed of Psalm 109 Psalm 139 Romans chapter 1
They're ashamed of kind of the rougher parts of the Bible
But you know what we should love all of the words of Jesus Christ and not be ashamed of any of them and nuts to whoever
Doesn't like it you want to make fun of us you want to speak of us in a negative way
We don't care because we're not ashamed of Jesus Christ
We are going to if we're gonna glory in anything glory in Jesus go to Romans chapter 1 Romans chapter 1
When I think about not being ashamed of Jesus, what is one thing that you could look at to see if someone is ashamed
Or is not ashamed of him. Hey, we should not be ashamed to preach the gospel
We should not be ashamed to open our mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel Romans 1 14
I'm a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians both to the wise and to the unwise
So as much as in me is I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation
To everyone that believeth to the Jew first and also to the Greek
You know you ought to not be ashamed to preach the gospel if you go soul-winning
this is what people think when they're when they're new to soul winning or they haven't yet started yet, there's often this fear and
Usually what the fear is is you're afraid of being embarrassed before someone. Maybe you're afraid of
Running into someone, you know, and then here you are with someone, you know
And you have to preach them the gospel first of all that almost never happens
I I don't think that's ever happened to me raise your hand if that has happened to you
Okay, only a few people now is it every Saturday or is it every once in a while every once in a while, right?
But it doesn't even happen that often but even if it did happen every single time
Why would you be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
Like why would you be ashamed to go up to someone and offer them a free gift?
Think about it. These people are on their way to hell an eternal fiery hell that's gonna last for all of eternity
What do you have? You have the truth. You have the gospel. You're there to give them good news
You're here to give them a free gift like what is there to be ashamed about nothing and the shame
You know what it comes from it comes from pride comes from you not wanting to look silly
You not wanting to be embarrassed
Do I need to remind you how silly and embarrassed Jesus looked and felt being tortured on the cross for you?
And for this whole community and for the whole world, you know what nuts to how you feel about it
You ought to not be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ
You have to be willing to preach it go to 2nd Timothy chapter 1
You know, you also ought not to be ashamed of men of God
You ought not to be ashamed of real pastors
Even though the world is gonna hate them is gonna speak all manner of evil against them falsely us as God's people
We should not be ashamed of men of God
Second Timothy 1 7 for God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner
but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of
God now this is crazy because with hindsight all of us look at the Apostle Paul and we think like what a rock star
What a great Christian what a wonderful preacher and wonderful example of Christianity like today
None of us would be ashamed of the Apostle Paul
But yet at the time that he was actually living, you know what he had
He had a lot of enemies a lot of people that hated him
And in fact, he talked about how he was like the off scouring of the world
Meaning that a lot of people just looked at him and looked at him as the bottom rung lowest trash
Unimaginable and you know what that sometimes caused people to do it sometimes caused people to be ashamed of the Apostle Paul
But just as silly as it is for us with hindsight looking back saying why would you be ashamed of Paul?
Like this is the guy he's right in a bunch of the New Testament
You know what?
It's just as silly to be ashamed of real men of God today
Because I don't need to remind you that just like men of God in times past were hated lied about
Persecuted reviled the same thing is going to happen today
And so it does not make any sense being ashamed of real men of God
You know, I'm not ashamed that my sinning pastor has been through a bunch of persecution. I actually think that's great
I actually think that that's a badge of honor on him. I actually think that it makes me realize like hey
This is a real man of God. This is someone that the world actually hates
This is someone that the devil actually targeted of all the people, you know
the devil's going about as a roaring lying lion seeking who he could destroy and
He went after said fast Baptist Church. He's gone after faithful word Baptist Church. He's gone after pastor Aaron Thompson
He's gone after pastor Jimenez a lot of these guys and when I see that I'm not ashamed of them
I'm like preach on praise the Lord. That's great
You know, I remember I was working in Idaho in 2016 and I had the news radio on and all of a sudden pastor
Jimenez is preaching just comes through and I'm like did I have my phone connected like is a sermon playing or something?
But I look I was like, oh no, this is the radio and he was going mega viral all over the world
And when I heard his preaching on the radio
And of course the commentators are saying how terrible it is that he's preaching against the sodomites
I was like jumping for joy in the car
I was like this is awesome like here we are here
I am in Idaho and pastor Jimenez his name is getting blasted here for doing right for preaching the word of God that didn't
Make me ashamed. I was excited and you know at the time I shortly after that moved to
Verity Vancouver, and that was that's what now is sure foundation Baptist Church, but I remember soul winning be like hey
We're from Verity Baptist Church and all the way up north in Vancouver, Washington
Nowhere close to Sacramento people would be like you're a pastor pastor Jimenez is such a terrible person
I was just like everyone knows about this guy. This is great, but I wasn't like well. That's not our pastor
No, we're actually satellite plant. It's it's pastor Thompson. You know pastor Jimenez is down there. I was like yep
That's what we believe see ya. You know wasn't gonna be ashamed of pastor Jimenez. We shouldn't be ashamed of man of God
Regardless of what the world thinks you could stay there first Corinthians 4 13 says being defamed we entreat
We are made as the filth of the world and are the off scouring of all things unto this day
Hey, if you want to sign up for the ministry you want to sign up to be a real man of God
You should sign up to be willing to be hated by everyone to be viewed as as absolute trash
To be talked crap about constantly. You should just expect that but you know what in return, you know what I expect
I expect godly Christians to not be ashamed of that. I expect godly Christians who read the Bible to say, yep
This is normal. This is what's supposed to happen
Not to if someday we go through protests here or we have issues here with the news or whatever
For everyone to run and cower and be scared
You know what? I would be ashamed of that if everyone took that mentality go to Psalm chapter number six
Psalm chapter 6 as you're turning their first Peter 4 16 says yet if any man suffer as a Christian let him not be ashamed
Hey, if we suffer as Christians, there's nothing to be embarrassed about you know
I'm not embarrassed of working on LGBT terrorists that documentary. I'm not embarrassed about it because it exposed the truth people don't like it
That's on them. You know I'm not ashamed of that. I'm not ashamed of any protests that we've gone through
I'm not ashamed of any news articles. I'm not ashamed of any of the hate
You know we ought to be willing to stand with the truth and God's people and let me say this
I'm not ashamed of the new IFB a lot of people are ashamed of the new IFB now
But let me just let me just tell you some cold hard truth right now
Is that the new IFB is the greatest soul-winning movement on planet Earth period end of story
I'm not saying there are another church is doing soul-winning
There are I'm not saying that the old IFB is completely dead that none of them are doing soul-winning
But I'm saying the most red-hot soul-winning movement on planet Earth is the new IFB. That's just a fact folks
And you see all of the churches that are new IFB. They just keep smashing salvation records
We broke ours steadfast broke theirs faithful words breaking theirs. Hey God is blessing the new IFB folks
God is blessing us with new preachers new churches pastor Thompson's got like ten of them or something like that
You know, brother Remy Thompson's going to
Spokane, I think he just moved there. He might even be his first sermon this morning
He's you know taking the charge there and preaching
There's a lot of great things happening in the new IFB and you know what nuts to all those who are ashamed
Go ahead be ashamed
But you know what you're leaving is you're leaving the best soul winning movement on earth and people are gonna hear that they're gonna get
So mad because they're blinded by pride. They're blinded by envy and hatred of their brethren, but just look at the fruit
Look at the works. This is being blessed by God folks, you know, we this is a smaller church here
This has been a church. It's been a satellite plant for many years
You guys have never had a pastor, but you know what? There's a lot of positive signs at anchor Baptist Church
We had four people start preaching the gospel three get their first salvation ever the last like two months
We've had first-time visitors every single week for services the last two months. Okay, we've had a lot of positive things
We broke our all-time
One month soul winning record people are growing people are getting more preaching opportunities
There's a lot of missions trips coming up this year that anchor Baptist Church is participating in and guess what?
This is just the beginning. This is just the beginning. This is we're in our first year of anchor Baptist Church right now
You know what? I thank God for this church. I'm not ashamed of this church. I'm not ashamed of my friends
You know what people should be ashamed for leaving this church and doing nothing for God
You should be ashamed because this is where the real men of God are today. Hey, this is the church in Oklahoma City
That's preaching the full counsel of God. It's not any other church. I'm sorry to tell you
There's no other church in this city that's gonna preach hard against sin like we will in anchor Baptist Church
There's no other church in this city that is as dedicated to reaching the entire metro with the gospel of Jesus Christ as anchor Baptist Church
You know what? That's just facts folks
I would be ashamed to leave this church over petty nonsense you ought to get back in church and get on God's team and stop
Being ashamed of God's men and stop being ashamed of the new IFB. I'm not ashamed of pastor Shelley
I'm not ashamed of pastor Anderson. I'm going and preaching for him next month
And you know what people could hate me all they want for that. I'm not ashamed of that guy
I'm not ashamed of one of the men that's doing the most for God on this earth
I'm not ashamed of that. We should be trying to get around other great Christians
We should be trying to team up with them. We should be trying to love them and not just be these weak people
That cower and are ashamed of men of God Psalm chapter 6 verse 9
It says this the Lord hath heard my supplication the Lord will receive my prayer
Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed. Let them return and be ashamed suddenly
Hey, let the wicked be ashamed today
let the adulterers and the whores and the girls running around naked and the drunks and the lazy bums
Let those people be ashamed, but let us not be ashamed. Let us not be ashamed of the Word of God
Let us not be ashamed of anchor Baptist Church. Hey, let the backslidden Christians be ashamed
Let those Christians that hate their brethren be ashamed let Christians that don't go soul-winning be ashamed
Let those that skip church all the time and don't go soul-winning and don't read their Bibles and don't leave their families
And do nothing for God their whole life. Let those people be ashamed, but you know what we're not gonna be ashamed
Let's have a word of prayer Lord. We thank you for this day
We thank you for the Word of God and Lord we at anchor Baptist Church are not ashamed of your words
We are willing to preach here. Whatever it is. You would have us to preach
We are willing to do whatever it is
You'd have us to do to go through any trials you would have for us to go through
I pray that you'd help us keep a strong faith in you and to never be ashamed of you or your words in Jesus name
We pray amen this time. We'll go ahead and sing one last song to conclude the service if you would take your hymnals and turn
to him number 100 day by day
him number
100 in your hymnals him number 100 number 100
We'll go ahead and start there right on the first day by day
and with each passing moment
Strength, I find to meet my trials
My peace no man, I don't cause for worry or for peace
Unto each day what he needs and for each hour
Tears, alerts, and charms, out he lay
Strength shall be in measure, it's the plan to meet
This is all I can do
