That's with me.
Heavenly Father, we thank you again

I pray, as always, that you would just continue
to open our ears, that you would stir up our spirit
inside us to not only be listeners,
but also attentive applicators of the message this morning
that you'd fill Pastor Oz with your spirit,
and that you would have everything for the service
done decently and in order.
These things we pray in Jesus' name, amen.

Also, we have our year-to-date church statistics.
We've only gone soul-winning one day so far in February,
and praise God, we had 14 salvations yesterday.
It was a great day of soul-winning.
Miss Whitney Reid had her first salvations as a talker,
so that is a great thing to celebrate as a church here.
So, you know, things are going great,
and soul-winning in Oklahoma City is very receptive.
There was some gunshots fired, not by soul-winners, okay?
You know, we went to the ghetto,
which, you know, that either means
it's gonna be the best soul-winning ever,
or it's gonna be sometimes the worst,
but this was really good.
You know, you just have to endure hearing some gunshots,
but it's okay, you know, the Lord was protecting us,
and police came and did whatever they do.
Also, our year-to-date statistics is listed there.
56 salvations for the year, so that's great news,
and please, as always, be reporting those numbers.
Please be in prayer for Ms. Whitney Reed,
our expecting lady of the church.
Also, upcoming events today, as our evening service,
we're gonna have a men's preaching night.
The sign-up is closed,
but the limit for each preacher is gonna be 10 minutes.
We'll just get a cup out here and put the names in there,
and we will have that, and then after that,
we'll have a potluck this evening.
So, also, the 14th of February,
our next event is the Sweethearts Banquet,
that's for married couples, at 7 o'clock p.m. on Friday.
The cutoff date to sign up for that is February 7th,

at Shirt Foundation Baptist Church in Vancouver, Washington.
May 31st, we're teaming up with Steadfast Baptist Church
and doing a joint soul-winning marathon together

So I'm expecting 60 to 90-ish soul winners.
We should have a ton of people
and hopefully do a great work for God in Durant.
So be praying for that if you would.
June 28th, we're having a fellowship day
where we're gonna go to an air show together as a church,
totally free of charge.
August 27th through the 31st

in Cedar Hill at Steadfast.
And October 6th through the 11th
is the Bahamas Mission Trip.
And we're really excited for that.
I know most of our church, I believe, is going.
And if you have any questions,
just bother Evangelist Furr.
Don't ask me.
He knows it all.
Give him all your details and problems and questions.
I will give you his email address.
He'll be able to take care of you for that.
So we're looking forward to that
and excited that our churches can join together
for great work like that.
On the back is our prayer list.
Please do be praying for these requests throughout the week.
And if you have any requests you'd like me to add,

This morning, as the offering plates are being passed,
please turn if you would to 1 Corinthians chapter 14.
- 1 Corinthians chapter 14.
"Follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts,
"but rather that you may prophesy.
"For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue
"speaketh not unto men, but unto God.
"For no man understandeth him,
"howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
"But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men
"to edification and exhortation and comfort.
"He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifyeth himself,
"but he that prophesieth edifyeth the church.
"I would that ye all speak with tongues,
"but rather that ye prophesied,
"for greater is he that prophesieth
"than he that speaketh with tongues,
"except he interpret that the church may receive edifying.
"Now brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues,
"what shall I profit you,
"except I shall speak to you either by revelation
"or by knowledge or by prophesying or by doctrine,
"and even things without life giving sound,
"whether pipe or harp,
"except they give a distinction in the sounds,
"how shall it be known what is pipe or harp?
"For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound,
"who shall prepare himself to the battle?
"So likewise ye, except ye utter by tongue
"words easy to be understood,
"how shall it be known what is spoken?
"For ye shall speak into the air.
"There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world,
"and none of them is without signification.
"Therefore, if I know not the meaning of the voice,
"I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian,
"and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
"Even so ye, for as much as ye are zealous
"of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel
"to the edifying of the church.
"Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue
"pray that he may interpret.
"For if I pray in an unknown tongue,
"my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
"What is it then?
"I will pray with the spirit,
"and I will pray with the understanding also.
"I will sing with the spirit,
"and I will sing with the understanding also.
"Else, when thou shalt bless with the spirit,
"how shall he that occupieth the room
"of the unlearned say amen at the giving of thanks,
"seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest.
"For thou verily givest thanks well,
"but the other is not edified.
"I thank my God I speak with tongues more than ye all.
"Yet in the church I had rather speak five words
"with my understanding, that by my voice
"I might teach others also,
"than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
"Brethren, be not children in understanding,
"howbeit in malice be ye children,
"but in understanding be men.
"In the law it is written,
"with men of other tongues and other lips
"will I speak unto this people,
"and yet for all that will not hear me, sayeth the Lord.
"Wherefore tongues are for a sign,
"not to them that believe, but to them that believe not,
"but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not,
"but for them which believe.
"If therefore the whole church become together
"into one place, and all speak with tongues,
"and there come in those that are unlearned or unbelievers,
"will they not say that ye are mad?
"But if all prophesy, and there come in
"one that believeth not, or one unlearned,
"he is convinced of all, he is judged of all.
"And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest.
"And so, falling down on his face, he will worship God
"and report that God is in you of a truth."
How is it then, brethren?
When ye are come together, every one of you
hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue,
hath a revelation, hath an interpretation.
Let all things be done unto edifying.
And if any man speak in an unknown tongue,
let it be by two, or at the most by three,
and that by course, and let one interpret.
But if there be no interpreter,
let him keep silence in the church
and let him speak to himself and to God.
Let the prophet speak two or three
and let the other judge.
If anything be revealed to another that sitteth by,
let the first hold his peace,
for ye may all prophesy one by one,
that all may learn and all may be comforted.
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
for God is not the author of confusion,
but of peace as in all churches of the saints.
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 saith the law.
And if they will learn any thing,
let them ask their husbands at home,
for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
What, came the word of God out from you,
or came it unto you only?
And if any man think himself to be a prophet or spiritual,
let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you
are the commandments of the Lord.
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy
and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Let all things be done decently and in order.
Let's pray.
Lord, I want to thank you so much
for the beautiful weather day.
Thank you for the church to gather in.
Pray, Lord, that you fill pastorology with spirit words.
Help us to set aside the distractions of the week
and focus on the preaching of your word.
And we pray, amen.
Amen.
Well, in verse 34 of 1 Corinthians 14,
the Bible says, "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 saith the law.
And if they will learn anything,
let them ask their husbands at home,
for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."
You know, a book like 1 Corinthians
is not just a story of where the Bible's
just recording things that happen.
It is definitely an instruction manual
where Paul is fixing issues
in a bunch of different areas of their church.
And one of the things he addresses here
is a rule that women are not allowed to speak in church.
They are supposed to ask their husbands at home
if they have a question.
And really, 1 Corinthians 14
talks a lot about an orderly service,
having things done decently and in order.
But it's not just Paul's opinion or Paul's rules,
because look at verse 37.
It says, "If any man think himself to be a prophet
or spiritual, let him acknowledge
that the things that I write unto you
are the commandments of the Lord."
So this is not just Paul's opinion.
This is the commandment of God
that women are not allowed to speak in church, right?
This is why we don't have women preaching here.
It's why we don't have women saying amen or leading things,
because the Bible teaches that they are to be in subjection,
that men are to rule these things.
And that's not Paul's opinion.
That is the word of God, right?
Because you have like the book of Acts,
which the book of Acts is not a church manual.
It is a recording of the act of the apostles, right?
'Cause you have all these Pentecostals
that wanna look at things that were done in the book of Acts
and say like, oh, we have to do that right now.
Acts is not a church manual.
First Corinthians is, right?
This is for real what we should be following
as far as rules in the church, but it's so funny.
A lot of Pentecostals like to have women preachers
and women prophets and women, you know,
all these different titles,
but that is clearly forbidden in the New Testament.
Now, the reason I read these verses is because last week,
when President Trump was inaugurated,
he went to this church service
in the Washington National Cathedral,
where some woman dressed in long-flowing robes
like Jesus warned you against in Matthew 23,
got up and preached some sort of sermon.
And we're gonna get into this a little bit,
but to give you some context of this sermon,
this is a Wikipedia entry.
It says, "On January 21st, 2025,
the day after Donald Trump's second inauguration
as president, Mariana Edgar Budd
delivered the homily at the Interfaith Prayer Service,
traditionally held at the Washington National Cathedral
after each presidential inauguration."
There's your first problem right there,
is that going to an interfaith church service
is a bad idea.
God does not desire for us to be gathered together
with Catholics and Hindus and Muslims
and all these different religions.
That's an abomination to him.
So right off the bat, whatever's preached,
whoever's preaching, it's already bad.
It's already sin.
But then it says this.
Also in attendance were the new vice president,
President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson,
and Pete Hegseth, Trump's nominee for defense secretary.
In the sermon, Bud addressed Trump,
who was sitting in the first pew,
urging him to show mercy and compassion
to vulnerable people, saying,
"Millions have put their trust in you,
"and as you told the nation yesterday,
"you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.
"In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy
"on the people in our country who are scared now."
Bud specifically cited the LGBTQ+ communities,
immigrants, and refugees fleeing from war
in their countries.
After the service, Trump disparaged Bud
as a so-called bishop
and radical left-hardline Trump hater.
On his social media website, Truth Social,
Trump called the service very boring.
It's a very, very Trump boring sermon
and demanded an apology from Bud and the Episcopal Church.
Trump allies also attacked Bud.
Evangelical pastor Robert Jeffress,
who's in First Baptist Church of Dallas,
he condemned the bishop for having insulted
rather than encouraged our great president.
While Republican Congressman Mike Collins said
that Bud should be added to the deportation list.
So this is kind of a controversial thing
that happened in our country lately.
But the title of my sermon this morning is this,
woman preacher detected, sermon rejected, okay?
As soon as there's a woman preacher detected,
the sermon is going to be rejected.
No matter what you're saying, it's wrong, it's sin,
it doesn't matter what she is preaching,
it shouldn't be done, it's an abomination.
And my first question is why is the president
of the United States even dignifying
a woman preacher with his presence?
You think George Washington would have sat down
and listened to a woman preacher?
You really think that? Give me a break.
You think that, you know, men of past times,
World War II generation, and beyond that,
would have ever even entertained
listening to a female preacher?
So, you know, first step that's wrong
is why was our president even there?
He's the president of the United States.
You don't think that he could say,
hey, why don't you give us a man
to preach some sermon here?
Why don't you call Pastor Anderson
and fly him into D.C. and put him in the National Cathedral
and let him tear the house down, right?
Call Pastor Shelley, call someone else,
rather than this short-haired abomination,
false prophet, Mary Ann Budd.
Now, I only have two points this morning.
First, I just wanna address the issue
of women preachers in general,
'cause I don't think this is something
I've specifically taught on yet,
and then we'll actually go into her sermon, okay?
Number one, women should not be pastors.
It seems obvious, but look, this needs to be preached
because Christians, Baptists disagree with us
on this topic, okay?
But the mentality we need to have is,
hey, woman preacher detected, sermon rejected, immediately.
Oh, just 'cause she's a woman?
Yep, just because she's a woman,
because that's what the Bible says.
Let's read it again, verse 34.
Now keep in mind, we're in the New Testament here,
verse 34, let your women keep silence in the churches.
Now in the Greek, silence, it means shut up.
It means keep your mouth closed.
It means don't speak, for it is not permitted
unto them to speak, in case you don't know
what silence means, it's defining it for you, not speaking.
But they are commanded to be under obedience
as also saith the law.
So why is it that God does not want women speaking
in the church?
It's because they're supposed to be in obedience.
There is an authority structure between man and woman,
and when it comes to the idea of the church institution,
it is not supposed to be an institution run by women.
It's supposed to be an institution run
by qualified, ordained men.
It's not supposed to be just a democracy of men either.
It's not supposed to be a deacon board.
It's supposed to be run by a pastor that is ordained.
Look at verse 35.
And if they will learn anything,
let them ask their husbands at home,
for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
So what are you supposed to do if you have a question
about the sermon or about doctrine?
Are you supposed to come to me and ask me a question?
No, you're supposed to go to your husband
and ask him a question, right?
Now, of course, if there's like a single lady
or a widow or something like that,
I'm happy to help her the best I can.
But if a married woman comes to me
and asks me a question about doctrine,
I'm gonna say, "Well, go ask your husband."
That's what I'm gonna say.
And then if he has questions, then he can come talk to me.
But the Bible says, if you wanna learn something,
if you have a question, ask your husband at home, right?
Because who is in authority over a specific wife,
her husband, and her husband only, right?
It is not my realm of authority
to go boss your wife around and tell your wife what to do.
That's not right, you know what I mean?
That is the husband's job to lead his family
to set the doctrine for his family.
And so the Bible's saying, hey women,
you're not supposed to be teaching,
you're not supposed to be speaking in the church.
If you have any questions, ask your husbands at home.
First Timothy chapter two,
go to First Timothy chapter number two.
And this idea of, well we can't have women preachers,
women pastors, this is only controversial
now in this time that we're living in.
You know, people in times past
would have never balked at this doctrine.
I mean, it would just be so obvious to everyone
that's like a boomer age and older
that of course we're not gonna have women pastors.
You know, it's only a new thing, a modern idea,
but we have to always make sure as Christians
that we're not just following things
because it's culturally acceptable,
that we're not afraid to speak the truth
just because it'll make us look mean or bad
or anything like that.
We have to actually look at what does the Bible say?
If you wanna be a Baptist, a Biblicist,
you have to look at what the Bible says.
First Timothy two, verse 11,
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection."
So again, a different book of the Bible
telling you the same thing.
Women are to be silent in a learning teaching context.
Verse 12, "But I suffer not a woman to teach."
That means he does not allow a woman to teach,
nor to usurp authority over the man,
but to be in silence, for Adam was first formed, then Eve.
So again, the Bible is not permitting a woman
to get up in a teaching role and usurp authority over men.
Because the idea of a pastor, it is a position of authority.
And even this weird woman, Mary Ann Budd,
I mean, she's standing in a place of authority.
She looked down at the President of the United States
and said, Mr. President, in the name of our God,
show mercy to the LGBT and all these people.
I mean, that's an authoritative thing that she's doing.
But how disgusting and unseemly it
is for a woman to speak down in authority
to the President of the United States.
That is disgusting.
And you know what?
It's just as disgusting for a woman
to stand here in a position of authority
and speak to any of you.
That's wicked.
It's disgusting.
It's not seemly whatsoever.
Why?
Look at verse 13.
"For Adam was first formed, then Eve."
God created Adam.
God is the one that made sure that this
is the one that's in charge.
This is the man.
This is the one naming all the animals.
This is the one that's going to get a help meat for him.
It's not that Adam was created to help his wife
and to bless his wife.
No, the wife was created to help her husband.
Why?
Because he's the authority.
He's the leader.
Verse 14, "And Adam was not deceived,
but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."
You know, women are just more easily
deceived and blown about by false doctrine and tricked.
It's just the truth.
And you know, this is a position where
you have to be holding on to the anchor of the King James
Bible, and you're not allowing yourself
to be swayed in doctrine by pressure from other people,
by the news media, by lies of the world,
by pressure from your own congregation.
Look, the pastor has to be rock solid on the Bible.
And Eve, she was immediately tricked by the devil.
As soon as the devil came to her and started
playing mind games with her, she just immediately sinned.
The Bible says Adam was not deceived.
Adam was not deceived.
Verse 15, notwithstanding, she shall
be saved and childbearing if they
continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Go to Titus chapter 1, Titus chapter number 1.
So obviously here in the Bible, we're
seeing that in the context of a church setting,
in the context of being in a position of authority,
it is wrong for a woman to be a pastor.
It is wrong for a woman to be in that position.
Now this doesn't mean that women can't teach their children
or women can't share Bible verses and help other women.
That's not what the Bible's saying.
But the Bible's for sure saying that women should not
be in authority, right?
So it's wrong even to have like a pastor and wife co-pastor.
That's just weird.
That's not something you see in the Bible.
Look at Titus chapter 1, verse 5.
"For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that
are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee."
So here the apostle Paul is saying to Titus that there's some things that are wanting.
There's some things that are lacking in this area, and what is it?
It's elders.
It's pastors.
So he wants him to go and fulfill the ordination of these pastors, and he gives some qualifications
for that.
Verse 6 says, "If any be blameless," notice this, "the husband of one wife, having faithful
children not accused of riot or unruly."
You know, it's kind of hard to be a husband when you're a woman.
It's kind of hard for Mary Ann Budd to be the husband of anyone since she's a woman.
And so even in the Bible qualifications, Titus chapter 1, 1 Timothy chapter number 3, the
only places in the Bible where the Bible gives strict qualifications for a pastor, you know
what it says in both places, being the husband of one wife.
So it just is obvious that you have to be a man to be a pastor, and you also have to
be married to one wife.
So even a divorced man is not qualified.
There's a lot of qualifications.
I'm not just up here saying, oh yeah, if you're a man, you're just good to go.
Men can just be pastors.
No, they're very high qualifications, but one of the most basic ones is that you're
a man.
Are you saying, oh, just because you're a man, you could be considered for this?
Yes.
If you're a man, you have a chance of meeting the qualifications of this.
If you are a woman, you are immediately disqualified, and you have zero chance of ever being a pastor.
Okay?
So, you know, don't go to that forbidden fruit, Eve.
It's off limits.
Don't try to desire it.
It's not something that's good for you.
It's not something that's good for other people.
It's off limits.
And men who are unqualified, if you have some sort of permanent disqualification, that's
forbidden fruit for you, too.
Just take it off the table.
Don't sit there and desire something that you can't have.
Because here's the thing about women pastors.
All of them, all of them are wicked.
You want to know why?
Because of what we just read in the Bible.
You know, a pastor is supposed to revere the scripture.
The pastor is supposed to exalt the scripture and submit himself to it and hold it up saying
this is the standard, this is what we follow, everything that the Bible says is right and
if we disagree, we're wrong.
That's the attitude that a pastor should have.
But you know what a female pastor does is that she disparages the scripture.
She looks at the Bible and disregards it, doesn't esteem it highly and just completely spits
in the face of God by disobeying His word.
And so every female pastor is wicked.
I don't care even if they're saved, they are wicked because they're disobeying the Bible.
And so female pastor detected, sermon rejected because you already are showing a disregard
for the Bible.
And why would you want to listen to someone give you spiritual guidance and preach sermons
to you when they're not even in submission to the word of God themselves?
I mean, that just immediately discredits their message.
I remember one time I was on a date with my wife in Vancouver, Washington, we were at
some Thai place and there was a couple or not a couple, there was just some people behind
us.
They were talking really loud.
We could overhear the conversation and it was a woman pastor counseling a man, a full
grown like 40 year old dude.
And we overheard her.
She's like, don't you believe I'm the woman of God?
And you need to listen to my advice.
I'm just like, just like, give me the knife.
What am I hearing?
So gross.
Why would you ever do that?
Why would you sit there and go to a restaurant and listen to some woman give you spiritual
advice when she doesn't even follow the most basic carnal truths of the Bible?
I mean, this is not spiritual deep understanding.
It's like, let your women keep silence.
You got to be a man to be a pastor.
This is basic carnal stuff.
And yet you're going to go take her advice.
You're going to listen to her sermons?
No, my friend, that's an abomination.
Why is the president listening to this woman speak?
If I was the president, I would have walked out of that building so fast.
It's not even funny.
I would have got on the phone immediately with Faithful Word and send Pastor Anderson
to DC and get a real man to preach the Bible.
You know, it's a shame on the Bible when a woman does that, and it makes Christianity
look bad to the world when a woman gets up and preaches.
Even if she's preaching something good, you know what?
It's blasphemous.
It looks terrible on our religion, and people in the world, Muslims, people that don't live
in this westernized, hellhole feminist society that we live in, look at that and think Christianity
is a joke.
But you know what?
It's not, because the Bible specifically forbids it.
Real Christianity is not a joke.
Real Christianity is led by men.
Go to Romans chapter 16, Romans chapter 16.
Woman pastor detected, sermon rejected.
I would never, under any circumstance, listen to a woman preach the Bible.
You know, if you're, if you're going to a church someday and big churches do this and
some woman preacher is a guest preacher, it's like time to leave.
I'm not going to subject myself to that.
I'm not going to listen to that.
Now here's the thing.
Don't hear me wrong.
I'm not saying that women can't help in the ministry.
I'm not saying that women can't preach the gospel and do great things for God.
They absolutely can.
Look at Romans chapter 16 verse 1, Paul says, I commend unto you Phoebe, our sister, which
is a servant of the church, which is at Sentria.
You know, Phoebe here is a servant of the church.
Notice he doesn't say, I commend unto you Phoebe, the greatest senior pastor of the
church.
No, she's a servant of the church.
And you know what?
If you are not a pastor, you should be a servant of the church.
You should be someone that wants to help, that wants to get on the program, that wants
to be a blessing to the church, helping go out and preach the gospel and reaching the
loss, helping people, encourage people to come to church, help the church financially,
pray for the church, be a blessing, have a good attitude.
These are ways that you could be servants of the church, but that doesn't mean you're
going to be a pastor.
And so every woman can be a servant of the church.
Every woman can be a blessing to the church.
Look at verse 2, "That ye receive her in the Lord as becomeeth saints, and that ye assist
her in whatsoever business she hath need of you, notice for she hath been a succorer of
many."
That means a helper.
This woman was a help to other people and of myself also.
So he's saying even this woman she helped other people, she helped the church, she helped
myself.
You read the New Testament, Jesus and his disciples were constantly being blessed and
helped by women that were serving them.
You know, that's a great thing to do.
And I believe that God is very pleased with a woman that is humble, that loves the Word
of God, that loves Jesus Christ, and dedicates her heart, her time, her effort into the work
of God.
You know, God looks down and is pleased at that woman.
God is going to bless that woman.
That woman is going to have rewards in heaven, but God looks down at a woman preacher and
he's disgusted by it.
He's saying, "Even if she's saved, why is my daughter just blatantly disrespecting me,
disobeying my commandments?"
I mean, us as fathers, if you have a daughter, do you like it when your daughter just blatantly
disrespects you and disobeys you?
That would provoke anger and rage, right?
That daughter would be getting a serious spanking.
It's like, how do you think God feels when women are just spitting in His face, disrespecting
the words of God?
Verse number three says, "Look, greet Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus," that's
like a married couple here, "who have for my life laid down their own necks, unto whom
not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
Likewise, greet the church that is in their house.
Salute my well-beloved Epinatus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ."
So this couple, Priscilla and Aquila, they were laying down their necks for the Apostle
Paul. They were serving other people. They were hosting a church in their house. I mean,
that has to take a lot of work. You know, giving up your home is a lot of work. And usually in our
society, we only do it usually for a day or a couple days. People are staying. You have friends
over something like that. But imagine just like hosting a church in your house. I mean,
you're sacrificing a lot. You're sacrificing your privacy. You're sacrificing your space.
That is a huge sacrifice. But it was a man and a woman that made this sacrifice. And the Apostle
Paul is commending them for that and saying, look, not only do I thank you, but all these other
churches thank you. Right. So, you know, a woman can have a good reputation as being a servant,
as being humble, as being a help without being a pastor, without being a preacher. You know,
you could have a good name as a lady. You could be a blessed woman without preaching the word of
God. You know, that's just inappropriate. Verse number six, greet Mary who bestowed much labor on
us. So again, just constantly the apostle Paul's just listing all these women that helped him out.
You know, it just goes to show that there is a place in ministry for women. And you know,
one of the greatest ways that women could serve in ministry is preaching the gospel.
Because you know what? Women get men saved all the time. Women get other women saved. Women are
just as effective soul winners as men, if not sometimes more. Because sometimes more people
will just want to talk to you anyways, just because you're nicer and you look better than us.
Just use your pretty privilege for the gospel of Jesus Christ, okay? Yeah, make someone talk
to you just because you're nice. That's great. You know, they look at us, they're just like,
"What are these weirdos doing at my door? Get the eff away." You know, we get cussed out at you.
Ladies don't really get cussed at that much. I notice that if I have my kids with me, people
are nicer. If I have my wife with me, people are nicer. When it's just us ugly dudes, people are
like, "What are you doing here?" Right? So look, use that as a lady to preach the gospel. You know,
that's a good way to be a servant. You know, helping with things like hospitality for church
events, cleaning, organization, you know, stuff like this is a major help in the ministry. It
really is. It's not something that should be overlooked or it's like, "Oh, that stuff isn't
very important." No, it's a major help because that is a lot of work to take care of. Now go
to 1st Timothy chapter number five, 1st Timothy chapter number five. I don't know, I don't know
what kind of brainwashing gets into these women's heads that become pastors. I don't know who in
their life was telling them that this was a good idea. You know, the Bible talks about in 1st
Timothy three how if you desire the office of a bishop, you desire a good work. But you know what,
a good work for me as a man does not necessarily mean it's the same good work for you as a lady,
because the Bible prohibits it. Look at verse nine, it says, "Let not a widow be taken into
the number under three score years old, having been the wife of one man." So this chapter kind
of talks about rules for if a church wanted to provide for a widow. And notice it says in verse
10, "Well reported of for good works." So the Bible's going to explain to us what are good
works for a lady. Is it being a pastor? Look what it says, "If she have brought up children,
if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints feet, if she have relieved the afflicted,
if she have diligently followed every good work." The Bible says that these things are good works.
Having kids, being hospitable, serving other people, you know, these are things that the
world has brainwashed feminists into thinking, you know, serving other people, oh, that's
disparaging. Being a wife, being a servant to my husband, taking care of my children,
blessing them, oh, that makes me a doormat. That makes me lesser of a person. When the Bible's
saying that these are good works, God looks at those things and says, "Hey, that is good works."
And when it comes to, you know, a widow being taken care of by the church, one of the things
you have to consider is, "Hey, how did this widow spend her life? Did she spend her life doing good
works? What does that look like?" Serving other people, taking care of the saints of God, taking
care of her husband and her children. You could look at a woman and say, "Hey, this woman lived a
good life. She had good works." Not some woman that's living in pleasure who's dead while she
lives it, right? You're not going to take, as a church, take care of a woman that spent her life
being rebellious, being self-centered, only caring about herself, not following what the Bible says.
Why would the church take care of someone like that when she rejected the Bible, when she did
not follow God's commandments? And you know what? Obviously, a woman pastor is way beyond that.
Obviously, a church would never take care of that because she's not doing good works. She's actually
blatantly disobeying God. Verse 11 says, "But the younger widows refuse, for when they have begun
to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry, having damnation because they have cast off their
first faith. And with all, they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle,
but tattlers also in busy bodies, speaking things which they ought not." When people are not in their
proper role, man or woman, they're going to get themselves into trouble. They're going to start
doing and saying things that they shouldn't do. And so when a woman is outside of her proper role
as a mother and a wife and steps into the role of a pastor, you know what she does? She ends up
speaking things which she ought not. She ends up preaching a bunch of lies and a bunch of false
doctrine as we're going to see later in the sermon. Verse 14 says, "I will therefore," so now we're
getting God's will, "I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the
house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully." So notice again, the adversaries
of Christianity are going to look at some loudmouth woman, some gossip, some tale bearer going house
to house, speaking things that she ought not and that causes Christianity to be spoken of reproachfully,
to be spoken negatively about, which is why it says in verse 15, "For some are already turned aside
after Satan." Being outside of your role as a woman is satanic and every single woman pastor is
under the influence of Satan because it wasn't God that called them to that position, it wasn't the
Holy Spirit that was leading them to be a pastor, it wasn't Jesus Christ in the words of Jesus Christ
who told them they could do that, you know who it was, it was the influence of Satan and so every
single woman pastor is influenced by the devil and is wicked, including this Marianne Budd. Go to,
if you would, Amos chapter three, you got Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos. So we
talked about number one, women pastors, it's not allowed, it's not biblical, we need to make sure
that we're not just knee-jerk, rejecting something that's preached because our society has accepted
something for so long. No, the Bible clearly teaches that women should not be in positions
of authority, especially in church. But number two, we address the preacher. Now let's address
her message. Number two is this, beware of fake unity. Beware of fake unity. I want to read for
you a quote from this sermon from Mary Ann Budd. She said this, "As a country, we have gathered
this morning to pray for unity as a people and a nation." Now unity in and of itself could be
good, could be bad. There's a good kind of unity, there's a bad kind of unity. She says, "We're
gathered here to pray for unity as a people and a nation." But notice what she says, "Not for
agreement, political or otherwise, but for the kind of unity that fosters community across
diversity and division, a unity that serves the common good." Talk about doublespeak. I mean,
what she just said makes no sense. She said, "We're here to pray for unity as a nation,
not for any agreements that we have together politically or otherwise." She's just saying like,
"We want unity, but I mean, we don't have to actually agree on anything. We want the type
of unity that fosters community across diversity, a unity, oh, across diversity and division."
What? A unity that goes across diversity and division? How is that unity? Oh, unity,
but we don't have to agree. It goes through diversity and division. Shut up. What are you
saying? You have no idea what you're saying. So according to her, we need unity, but we don't
have to agree on anything. We don't have to have anything in common. We just have to have unity,
though. Okay. Now here's the definition of unity. This is one of the dictionary definitions of unity.
Absence of diversity. Absence of diversity. Isn't it so funny how the left and these fake
Christians are constantly using buzzwords like unity, unity, diversity. You can't have both.
Which one do you want to have? Do you want to have diversity or unity? Because unity is the
absence of diversity. See, I think unity in a godly way is wonderful. You need unity. We need
unity in this church. We need unity as a nation. Every company needs unity. You need unity in your
family. But you know what that's going to have to be through is a lack of diversity. Okay, look at
Amos chapter three, verse three. Can two walk together except they be agreed? Now this is a
rhetorical question because unless you have one singular brain cell only in your head, you know
that the answer to this is no. You cannot walk together with someone in life. You cannot be
going the same direction unless you agree, right? If I'm walking north and you want to be in unity
with me, you have to agree north is the direction we're going. I mean, how would you like to have
a pilot and co-pilot? And air traffic control tells them, "Hey, go ahead and turn heading 170."
And then the pilot's like, "Well, I want to go 360." And the other one's like, "No, I want to go
170." And they're just like fighting each other. That doesn't work. What do you want? Do you want
unity between your pilots? I would hope so. Well, that means that they have to agree. That means
that they have to submit to an authority called air traffic control. And you know, for us, we want
unity in this church. We have to agree this is the word of God. We have to submit ourselves to it
and say whatever this says is right. No, in order to be united, in order to be unified as a nation,
there's some things we have to agree on. And this idea of diversity has been promoted for so long,
and people want to make it out to where if you reject this idea, then you like hate different
races or something like that. But I'm telling you this idea that diversity is our greatest strength
is a lie. Diversity in the way that the leftists mean it is not a strength, it is a major weakness.
You must have unity, okay? Now here's the thing, diversity of skin color, no problem. Diversity of
food tastes, no problem. Diversity of different skills, no problem. You know, there's some things
that we need to be united on as a nation to be strong, and one of those things has to be a common
religion, that we are a people that looks at the Bible as the final authority, that we are people
that say this is what founded our nation, this is what built our country, and we are going to stick
with what the Bible says. You know, I preached a few weeks ago about freedom of religion, and we
went through the original 13 state constitutions where they were giving rules for who was allowed
to serve in government, and what did we see over and over and over again? You had to stand up and
say, "I, Dylan Oz, do believe the Old and New Testaments that they were given by inspiration of God,
that there's only one God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and I'm going to submit myself
to that." That's what the government was doing. That's what the state government was doing. And
guess what? We had unity for a long, long time. We had unity because we were people that revered
the Bible. And how dare this woman get up and say, "Oh yeah, we need unity, but we don't need to agree
on anything." Well, guess what? That's not possible. It's just meaningless words. It's stupid.
It's a lie. We need unity. We need a common religion. We need a common language in America.
And this doesn't mean, "Oh, we hate Mexicans. We hate people who speak different languages."
No, I speak Spanish and I love going out and preaching the gospel and reaching people in
Spanish. But guess what? Is diversity of language a strength in our community or is it a weakness?
Because raise your hand in this room if you could preach the entire gospel in Spanish and you've
gotten someone saved in Spanish. Raise your hand. Okay, three people. You know what that means? Is
it really a strength that everyone else in this room can't communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ
to them? Is that a strength that many people are slipping through the cracks and going to hell that
could have gotten saved if we could communicate to them? How is that a strength? It would have
been a lot more of a strength if they actually came to our country and learned our language
and learned English, and then everyone in this room could preach them the gospel and get them
saved. That's not a strength having a diversity of language in our community. No, in our country,
we need to have English be the language of our nation. And in Germany, it should be German.
And in Mexico, it should be Spanish, right? So it's not about like, oh, English superiority,
anything like that. It's just every nation needs to have a common language. And you're not going
to have any unity without that. I mean, I went to Germany and it was insane. You're hearing Turkish,
you're hearing German, you're hearing Arabic, you're hearing Russian, you're hearing Ukrainian,
you're hearing Spanish, you're hearing all sorts of different languages. And it's hard to live in
community like that. It's hard to have unity. Yeah, it's impossible to have unity like that.
You need to have a common set of values. You know, we need to have the same goal. If we're
going to have unity as a church, we have to agree that our goal is to fulfill the great commission,
right? Because if my efforts are being spent towards fulfilling the great commission,
but yours isn't, we're not going to be very effective. We're not going to be very strong,
right? So like, you know, on a sports team, it's great to have a diversity of skills,
right? It's great to have some people that are better at hitting, some people that are better
at pitching, some people are better at infield, some people that are better at outfield, but you
know, what would make no sense is if there was a diversity of goals, right? Everyone in the team
should say like, we want to win the game. Okay. What if half the team said, well, I want to get
paid off by the Jews and throw the game and fake it, you know, and, and purposely lose the game.
And then the other half wants to win the game. When you have a diversity of goals, a diversity
of values, then that's a weakness. That's not a strength. You know, us as a nation, we have to
have the same values. We have to, as a church, get together and say, Hey, we believe what the Bible
says. We're going to submit ourselves to it. We have the same values. Us as a nation, we have to
get together and say, Hey, the constitution, the United States, this is our highest law of the land.
We are going to follow it. We are going to believe the Bible. We're going to be Christians.
That's the way that you actually have unity as a nation. You can't just get up and say, Oh yeah,
we're going to have unity, but not for any agreement. No, that guess what? That's the
only way you could have unity. Right. And so by the way, every relationship in your life
needs some unity, which means you need some agreement. You know, if you're dating someone
and you disagree on too much, you shouldn't marry that person. It doesn't matter how attractive you
think they are. It doesn't matter how infatuated you are at the moment. You know, if you're going
to get married to someone, you better agree on some serious things or you're going to have a lack of
unity. Go to first Corinthians chapter number one, first Corinthians chapter number one, first
Corinthians one verse 10 says, now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that you all speak the same thing in that there be no divisions among you, but that you'd be
perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. See, the only way we could have
unity as a church is if we're all speaking the same things. We can't have half the church having one
doctrine about Jesus and another doctrine about Jesus, one doctrine of salvation, another doctrine
about salvation. We have to speak the same things. We have to be of the same mind. And notice how it
says perfectly joined together, right? So the more that we read the Bible, the more informed we are
of what the scripture says, and the more filled with the spirit we are, the more perfect our unity
will become. The more united and whole our church will be is when we're submitting ourselves to the
word of God. What happens in a church when there starts to be division is when people start adopting
worldly philosophies. When they stop believing what the Bible says and they start using their
human reasoning and their human judgment and looking at things through the lens of the world,
rather through the lens of scripture, right? You know, and this could be applied to any area of
the Bible. But the principle is just submit yourself to what the Bible says. That's going to lead
to unity. Go to second Corinthians chapter number three, second Corinthians chapter number three.
By the way, this is oftentimes why people get mad at their pastor. They're not going to tell you this,
but this is just the truth. They stop reading the Bible. They stop learning the scripture.
They stop walking in the spirit. And then the word of God starts sounding strange to them.
The word of God starts sounding extreme to them. And they're thinking in their mind, well, you know,
well, I think this, I think the pastor's wrong. Really, it's just you're backslidden. You're away
from the word of God. You've gotten far from the Lord. And now guess what? We have division.
This is another thing that this preacher said. Unity, in this sense, is a threshold requirement
for people to live in freedom and together in a free society. It is the solid rock, as Jesus said,
in this case, upon which to build a nation. So having unity based on no agreement, having unity
based on us not agreeing on anything politically or otherwise. This is the foundation for liberty.
I mean, this, I mean, when you think about how do we get liberty as a nation? Oh, it's by us
disagreeing on everything. It's by you being a Muslim and me being a Christian and you being a
Hindu. I mean, that's how we have unity, right? That's the foundation of unity is disagreement.
What a devil. I mean, this is just the absolute opposite of the truth. Look at what the Bible
says. Second Corinthians 3 17. Now the Lord is that spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty. You want to know what the foundation of liberty is? It's the word of God.
It's having the Bible and it's agreeing on what the spirit of God has said.
Then we could have a foundational point for liberty. You want to know where oppression
comes from and rules and tyranny? It comes from sin. It comes from people not submitting
themselves to the word of God. You want to know why communist nations are so oppressive? It's
because their people reject God. That's like one of the foundations of communism is that the state
is God, right? Communist nations reject the Bible folks. They reject Christianity and that's why
they don't have liberty. That's why they don't have freedom. And you want to know why America
has been the most free place in all of human history is because it was founded with the
spirit of God. It was founded with the word of God. That's why we had liberty. That's why we
had freedom. No, the foundation for liberty is unity based on agreement on what the Bible says.
It's not a, "Oh, the foundation that Jesus talked about." When did Jesus say, "Hey, make sure you
disagree with everything about the scripture. Make sure you don't speak the same thing. Make
sure you don't have unity." No, he talked about division, a godly division. But when it comes to
Christians, we need unity based on the spirit of God. Go to Proverbs chapter 14, Proverbs chapter
14. You know, what's a threshold requirement, as she calls it, for people to live in freedom
and together in a free society? She says that it's disagreement, it's division. Well, look what the
Bible says, Proverbs 14 verse 34. "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any
people." You know what lifts up a nation and gets the hand of God to bless a nation? It's when we
do righteousness. You want to know what doing righteousness is? It's when we do what the Bible
says. It's when we obey His commandments. It's when we follow His laws. That's what being righteous
is. And the Bible says righteousness exalts a nation. It lifts it up. It gives it prosperity.
It gives it prestige. And haven't we seen our country have that throughout the hundreds of
years that our country has existed? Yes, because we exalted the Word of God. We had righteousness.
But you know what the Bible says? Sin is a reproach to any people. A reproach. It's just
something that's looked down on. It's something that looked on as bad. And guess what? Our nation
has become a reproach in many ways. And guess what? It's not because of Christianity.
It's because of sin. It's because of exalting wickedness rather than righteousness.
Sin's like sodomy. Sin's like our nation in 2015, the Supreme Court getting up and saying
that people of the same sex can marry each other. You know what? That is an abomination.
That is a reproach to our country. Oh yeah, a reproach to our country because we have
Christian nationalists. You know, what's an approach, reproach to our country is exalting
homosexuality, exalting pedophilia. The late president Biden, you know, excusing
dozens and dozens and dozens of people on death row as his last act as president,
excusing pedophiles, excusing murderers, kidnappers, and letting those people go free.
That's a reproach on our nation. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any
people. You want to know what the threshold requirement for freedom and unity is? Righteousness
by following what the word of God says. Now, the good news is that I think that in our country,
we're starting to see some pushback against this LGBT agenda. You know, we've been preaching this
for so long. Baptist preachers have been preaching against the wicked sin of sodomy for a long time.
You know, it's starting to have an effect on people. The left went way too far. They pushed
way too hard. They brought in the trannies into the schools to read to your kids. They want to take
your kids into LGBT stripper bars. They want to change your children's gender, which isn't even
possible. They're shoving this all down people's throat. Regular people, regular blue collar,
unsaved, Joe American. And you know what? People are getting sick and tired of it. And people are
hearing preaching from the word of God and saying like, that's good. That's right. That's what we
need. So much so that even unsaved, most likely politicians are starting to demand changes on this.
Last week in the state of Idaho, God bless Idaho. I lived there for many years. I love that state.
In the state of Idaho last week, the legislature's there, the legislators there submitted a resolution
to the Supreme Court. It's titled this legislature of the state of Idaho and the 68th legislature,
the House of Representatives, they have this address to the Supreme Court of the United States.
And the whole point of this resolution is to request that the Supreme Court overturn
Obergefell v. Hodges, which is the Supreme Court that legalized gay marriage. And we literally
have a state requesting, I mean the government now is requesting that that be overturned. That's a
great sign. That's a wonderful sign. Now I'm going to read for you some of their arguments here just
to give you some context. They say, "Whereas liberty has long been understood as individual
freedom from government action, not as a right to a particular governmental entitlement." I would
say that liberty should more be understood as an individual freedom from undue government action,
right? Because there are some government actions that are deserved and due to people like criminals
that we need enforced, right? So it's not like we just believe, oh liberty means anarchy. That's
not what our founders intended. That's not what the Bible teaches. That's not what I believe,
but they say that they say, whereas Obergefell invokes a definition of liberty that the framers
would not have recognized, rejecting the idea captured in the declaration of independence
that human dignity is innate and instead suggesting that it comes from the government,
right? So the declaration talks about how we're endowed by our creator with certain
and unalienable rights, excuse me, that we have certain rights from God and those rights are given
at birth, right? Because no one's born a sodomite, right? You're just given rights at birth. If God
says thou shalt not kill, that implies I have a right to not be killed. If God says don't commit
adultery with your neighbor's wife, that implies I have a right for someone not to violate my wife.
That is a natural right given by God. That philosophy that our founders had is correct,
is biblical. It says whereas Obergefell undermines this vision by declaring that citizens must seek
dignity from the state. Now I would nitpick a little bit with the legislators here about oh you
know the problem with Obergefell v Hodges is that these poor little sodomites are having to seek
dignity from the state. They're having to seek dignity by them being granted a marriage license
from the state. You know the problem with homosexuality and gay marriage is not that they're not being given
dignity. It is not that these little sodomites don't feel dignified by the government. The problem
with homosexuality is that it's an abomination in the sight of God. That's the problem okay. You talk
about oh you know the government's not giving them their dignity. That's the argument. No that's a
meat point my friend. What matters is that it's an abomination. That it's a crime in the word of God.
But I'll just skip some of this. They say at the end, "Now therefore be it resolved by the members
of the first regular session of the 68th Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives, and
the Senate concurring therein that the Idaho Legislature rejects the Obergefell decision."
Hey that is great news. That is positive news. And you know what? Let's not be these annoying
black-pilled Christians that anytime anything positive happens it's just not good enough.
Just be happy for one day in your life, okay? That this is a good thing. This is on its way,
Lord willing, to something being done in the future. You know it's like when Oklahoma introduced
the King James Bible into public schools and I see all these idiots online saying like,
"Oh Oklahoma is going to start pumping out all the biggest reprobates in the nation
because you really think that those public school teachers are saved? All the kids in
Oklahoma are going to become reprobates." First of all, you're an idiot because many public school
teachers here are likely saved because this is the Bible Belt and this is the buckle baby,
right? Yeah, there's saved police officers here and judges and legislators and teachers
and all sorts of people. I mean, I work in an office and lots of my co-workers are saved.
My boss is saved. Yes, this is Oklahoma, my friend. There's going to be some saved public
school teachers. And guess what? Let's not sit here and whine and complain that the Bible is
brought back into schools. Are you out of your mind? I mean, it's like, "Oh man, America took
the Bible out of schools. How wicked Bible gets put back into schools. Ah, reprobates!" It's like,
"You are insane! What is wrong with you?" It's like, "Hey, we're all mad at the 2015 decision
of legalizing gay marriage. Amen." Oh, Idaho is asking the Supreme Court to overturn it,
but they didn't ask for the death penalty. It's like, "Dude, let's just take this one step at a
time." Oh, or, "Well, I disagree with their reasoning of human dignity, so therefore it's bad."
Who cares, man? They're asking the Supreme Court to overturn this. "Righteousness exalted the
nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Gay marriage is a reproach on our nation. Homosexuality
is a reproach on America, and I like it that some politicians even are standing up and saying, "Let's
get rid of this. Let's overturn this." And of course, I'm going to get up as a preacher and say,
"It's not because of human dignity issue. It's because if a man lie also with mankind, as he
lied with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death.
Their blood shall be upon them." We know what the Bible says. It's not about dignity. It's about
that it's an abomination to God. But at the end of the day, I don't care if the Idaho legislature
submitted a paper saying, "Hey, would you please overturn Obergefell v. Hodges because what a
burger sucks?" I'm going to say, "Great. I don't care what your stupid reasoning is. I'm just going
to say let's overturn this abomination." And so stop with this holier than now mentality.
Stop with the black-pilled Christianity. It's so annoying. It's like election gets stolen in 2020.
Oh man, the Jews were really stopping Trump because they didn't want him in there and he's
going to do good. Then he gets elected. Oh, the Jews wanted him in there, man. It's just like,
dude, do you not realize that there's actual competing interests in this world sometimes?
You actually realize that there's some people that are, guess what, have division
and they're going one direction and other people are going a different direction, right? There's
a real fight in this world. Not everything is as simple. You know, it's really simple and easy
to think that everything in the world is controlled in a smoke-filled room with a bunch of Jews.
That's the mentally easy way to just not think about anything in life. But guess what, that's
stupid. Yes, there are conspiracies. Yes, there are councils. Yes, the rulers of this world gather
together and plot against the Lord and his anointed. Yes, that happens. But guess what,
not every single thing that you want is a conspiracy. I don't know how I went off on that,
but go to Psalm chapter 33, Psalm chapter number 33. You know, the foundation for unity in our
country is not for us to sit here and be in a disagreement with each other and not have any
unity over this issue. You know, unity is when we look at this issue and say, you know what,
we should punish criminals in our society. We should punish deviants in our society. We should
not sit here and accept this as a nation. That would actually bring unity to our country. But
you know, how are we going to have unity in America when half of us say, hey, pedophiles should be
given the death penalty? And then Joe Biden excuses pedophiles and pardons them. How are we going to
have any unity? One of us loves children, loves victims. One of them loves Satan and hates children
and hates victims. No, there's no unity. Psalm 33 verse 12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the
Lord and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. Hey, if we want to be blessed,
if we want to have unity in America, we have to get here and say, you know what? God is the Lord.
Jesus Christ is God. He is our God. That's the only way we could have unity together. Verse 13.
The Lord looketh down from heaven. He beholdeth all the sons of men from the place of his
habitation. He looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashioneth their hearts alike.
He considereth all their works. There is no king saved by the multitude of hosts. A mighty man is
not delivered by much strength and horse is a vain thing for safety. Neither shall he deliver any by
his great strength. Behold the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him upon them that hope in
his mercy. So notice he's talking about how he's made all people alike. He's fashioned all their
hearts alike. But who is it that God looks down from heaven and decides to bless? It's the nation
whose God is the Lord. It's the person who decides to fear God. So you know there's no such thing as
oh you know white people are special. I saw this video of this guy from Africa. He's like some
African leader and he was saying like you know white people were created special by God. They
were able to invent airplanes. They were able to create a mirror in our country. They were able to
do these great things. It's like a black guy saying this and it's like that's not true.
Okay the Bible says that God is fashioned all of our hearts alike but why does God choose to bless
a nation one over the other? Well it's when one nation decides to fear God and any nation on this
earth regardless of skin color regardless of culture could be blessed by God when they decide
to adopt Christianity. You know what our country though we've been in a nation in decline for a
long time you know we could start going on the right track again if we decide to fear the Lord
our God. When we decide to bless the Lord and decide to follow his commandments you know at
any time we want as a nation we can do that. We're not just doomed to failure here we can change
things but we need to start doing things like let's at least start by overturning Obergefell
v Hodges. That's a good start right and getting people's minds changed on these things does work.
Why do you preach Leviticus 20 13? Why do you preach against the sodomites? I don't know
because it actually changes people's minds because it actually changes people's hearts
because we just saw a state legislator here present this to ask the supreme court to overturn it. I
mean we saw Roe v Wade overturn. I never thought that would have happened right. We can change
people's minds. The word of God is powerful. It's sharper than any two-edged sword. It can get the
job done. We just have to preach it and look I wish Christians would stop being so scared. When
politicians can get up in Idaho and say hey our country doesn't want to do this anymore the state
of Idaho rejects this decision. How come politicians can do this but Baptist preachers can't? Why is it
that Baptist preachers are so nice today? Because they bought themselves a couple million dollar
building and they're worried about losing it and all of a sudden the culture changes and the
preaching starts getting softer to where time goes on and it's like are you guys are you guys IFB or
what? Are you guys damnation and hellfire leather lung preachers or what? Or is every Sunday morning
about salvation now? Is every Sunday morning about the love of God now? Or are you going to
actually try to do something by waking up America even if it makes people mad? Even if it puts you
at risk? Even if you get hate? Even if you face persecution? You know what someone in America has
to say it and I'm so sick and tired of the fact that we let our great country get destroyed by
weak men. I mean why did we let our country get destroyed by these people? It makes me so angry.
It makes me so angry that we allow sodomy to be open in our country. It makes me so mad that they
could have a gay pride parade in public wearing almost nothing and no one does anything about it.
The police don't do anything about it. It's legal. I mean there's videos all over the internet of
kids going into LGBT dance bars. How in the world is that happening? Who allowed this in our country?
I'll tell you who allowed it. Weak pastors. Weak Christians that are too afraid to preach what
the Bible says. What shame and embarrassment. You know thank God that the new IFV stands on this
doctrine. Thank God that Pastor Jimenez has had thousands of people protesting him over this issue.
That Pastor Shelley's had lawsuits over this issue. But here's the thing. People are too
afraid to face the lawsuits. They're too afraid to face the persecution. They're too afraid to have
the homos come to their house. But you know what? You know what sounds scarier than a man of God
who's going to be protected by God being persecuted is when the men of the city both young and old
compass our nation round about and is just filled with sodomy and God has to look down on America
and nuke it someday for the disgusting sin that we allow. Look people are going to be sinners and
people are going to do crimes. But you know what? As a church we have to lay down the law of what we
will tolerate and our nation has to lay down the law of what they will tolerate. They have to say
look this is a crime. People do it. There needs to be a punishment for it. We need to punish this
sin. Go to Luke chapter 20 or Luke chapter 12. Luke chapter 12. But again what does the world
want to say? Unity, unity, unity at all costs right? Unify with everyone. Doesn't matter your
religion. Doesn't matter your views. Doesn't matter if we agree on anything. They just want to say
be unified. The question is is that something that Jesus Christ would even want? Go to Luke chapter
12 verse 51. Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth. I tell you nay but rather division.
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided three against two and two against
three. The father shall be divided against the son and the son against the father, the mother
against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law,
and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Where is this idea of unity at all costs?
Where is this idea of be united no matter what we agree on? I mean are you reading the same New
Testament as me? Jesus is saying there's going to be division in your own family over what? Over
Jesus Christ, over the word of God. We could have unity so long as we agree on what the Bible says.
The moment we stop doing that, the moment you know someone doesn't want to believe in Jesus Christ,
I can't have unity with that person. And even amongst family you could be estranged from your
mother, your father, your wife, your brethren, your children over the Lord Jesus Christ. And does he
say hey be unified no matter what even if you disagree? No he said if any man hate not his
father or mother in his own life also paraphrasing that he's not worthy of being my disciple. So
Jesus does not teach this idea of unity at all cost. That is a lie from Satan to weaken our
churches, our marriages, our families, and our nation. Diversity is not our strength.
Godly unity is our strength. Go to Isaiah chapter 5. Mary Ann Budd preached this. "Unity is a way
of being with one another that encompasses and respects our differences that teaches us to hold
multiple perspectives and life experiences as valid and worthy of respect." See, the only problem
with that is that not all perspectives and experiences are worthy of dignity and respect.
And guess what? Truth is truth. And what's right is right. And when someone believes something
that's wrong or is saying something that's wrong, I'm not going to have unity. I'm not going to play
this make-believe fairy tale game that our society wants to play that we just pretend
everyone can be right about everything except Christians. Everyone's right. Every view is
tolerated except Christianity. You know what's so funny is I recently had a work meeting and there's
all these people here and someone brought up a local company in our area who's known as being
Christian. I won't say the name but this person in the middle of a meeting with all the executives
and just like lots of people they said oh yeah that Christian it's not good. It's so Christian.
It's so Christian. That company is so Christian. It was like disparaging this company for being
Christian and I'm just thinking like there's only one religion you could have said that about and
not have gotten fired and it's Christianity. If you would have sat there in a workplace and
disparaged Islam they would have fired you on the spot. If you would have got there and disparaged
gay marriage or Hindus or atheism they would you would have been dragged into HR and they would
have done everything they could to fire you but nothing happened. Nothing happened. It was just
ignored. Why? Because there's only one view that's not allowed in America now and it's Christianity.
It's what the Bible says. We want real unity. We have to agree on what the Bible says. Look at
Isaiah 5 verse 20. "Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil, that put darkness for light
and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." God doesn't say accept all
perspectives, accept all opinions as being valid and worthy of dignity. The Bible says "Woe unto
those that put good for evil and evil for good." God does not look down and say let's sing kumbaya
all with every opinion. God looks down and says it's my way or the highway. He says you get with
what I say, what I teach, or woe unto you. Woe unto the nation that wants to sit here and promote
sodomy. You know that's a disgusting curse. Verse 21, "Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes
and prudent in their own sight." Human reasoning, the cult of humanism, right? Putting the human
mind and our human reasoning above what the Bible says. This is a plague in 2025 America where people
like to think they're smarter than God. People who haven't read the Bible want to teach you what the
Bible really means instead of just believing what it says. Those are people that are wise in their
own eyes. Verse 22, "Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine and men of strength to mingle strong
drink." See, God doesn't say, "Oh, you know, I'll tolerate different opinions on what you think about
alcohol." No, he just says, "Woe to you when you drink it." Verse 23, "Which justified the wicked for
reward and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him." Go to Romans chapter 16,
Romans chapter 16. As you're turning there, I'll read Ephesians 4-3, "Endeavoring to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, even as you are called in
one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is above all
and through all and in you all." Sounds like this is exclusive. This ideal, you know, co-exists. No,
God says there's one Lord, one faith, one baptism. I am the way, the truth, and the life, and he that
come into the Father has to come through who? Lord Jesus Christ. There's only one way to heaven,
there's only one truth, there's only one true religion, there's only one true word of God,
and all other opinions are wrong. All other opinions should be rejected and we should not
tolerate it as a country. Romans 16 verse 17, "Now I beseech you brethren, mark them which cause
divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them." See in
this church we are to mark and avoid people that cause division contrary to what the Bible says.
Now of course all of us in this room are going to have division from the world, from family members
that hate Jesus, from people that don't want to follow him. That type of division is good,
but when there's division that's contrary to the doctrine of the word of God, that must be marked
and avoided. Look at verse 18, "For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ,
but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."
You need to realize as a Christian that you cannot please everyone. You should not please everyone.
You cannot have unity with every person in this world, and you need to just get comfortable with
that fact, because you know sometimes especially when someone's newly saved this could really play
games with their mind. It could hurt their heart to think about relationships that they've always
had starting to get a little estranged, a little damaged, but you have to as a Christian decide if
you want to be a follower of Jesus, if you want to be a real disciple, then if you're going to make
that decision then you have to say this is always right and nuts to anyone who disagrees. Even your
wife, even your mom, even your dad, it doesn't matter who it is, you have to decide I'm loyal
to Jesus Christ and let the division fall where it may. Let's not divide over people because we're
jerk, let's not divide over people because we're sinning, but hey if someone wants to divide with
me over what the Bible says then I'm welcome to accept that division anytime. I'm welcome to stand
for the Lord Jesus Christ and I'm not going to be ashamed of him and of his words at this wicked
time we live in. You could say there Proverbs 14 12 says there is a way which seemeth right unto a
man but the end thereof are the ways of death. It doesn't sound like God respects all opinions.
He says there's a way that you might think is right that you might think is good in your heart
but you know what the end of those things is death. You know it might sound good to the untrained
ear to the person who's never read the Bible. Love is love. I mean love's a good thing right
but you know what the end of that is death. The end of that is disease in our country.
The end of that is pedophilia. The end of that is the destruction of Christianity
and the western society principles that we built off Christianity. Death is the end of that.
Marianne Budd said this in her sermon, "For those of us who are people of prayer." By the way,
I hate it when preachers like soften the most easy thing ever. Like why are you in church saying
like well you know for those of you in here that believe the Bible it's like I thought we were in
a church. You guys believe in prayer in the Bible or what? Like well for those of us in this room
who believe in prayer not everyone's prayer will be answered in the way we would like but for some
the loss of their hopes and dreams will be far more than political defeat but instead a loss
of equality and dignity and their livelihoods. Given this is true unity among us even possible
and why should we care about it? Guess what? Unity is not possible among all of us. Unity is not
possible amongst every person nor should we desire it nor should we try to attain it. We should say
get on Jesus's program or get out. Get on the laws of our nation's program or get out. We're not here
to have unity with everyone. Oh, loss of equality and dignity in their livelihoods. What if I told
you that every human being does not deserve to have dignity? I mean what if I told you that someone
that rapes a child does not deserve dignity? They deserve hatred and wrath and contempt and the sword
is what they deserve. Murderers, you think murderers deserve dignity? No, they deserve the death
penalty. Adulterers, kidnappers, you don't deserve dignity. We don't give dignity to every person.
You're born with inherent dignity as a human being but you know what? The moment you decide
to rape a child, your dignity is gone. The moment you decide to hate God, the moment you decide to
commit these wicked, heinous crimes, you have no dignity. No dignity whatsoever and I'm not interested
in holding hands with people that want to get along with pedophiles, that want to get along
with murderers. Go to 2nd Corinthians chapter 6. 2nd Corinthians 6 verse 14 says, "Be ye not
unequally yoked together with unbelievers." It doesn't sound like we need to have unity with
unbelievers. "For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness and what communion hath light
with darkness?" See, we're not called to have fellowship and to be united with unbelievers.
You know how we can get united with unbelievers? By reconciling them to God. Hey, I want to have
unity with this community. I want to have unity with unsafe people, but there's only one way that
could truly happen in a godly way. It's by us reconciling them to God. Then they can be
reconciled to God's people. Then we can have unity and it doesn't matter their skin color.
It doesn't matter their food preferences or their skills or anything like that. What matters is that
they believe the Bible now. What matters is that we have the same God now and so now we have the
foundation for unity. Go to James chapter number four. James chapter number four. James four,
verse four says the adulterers and adulteresses know you not that the friendship of the world is
enmity with God. Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
If you're a person that desires unity with the world, unity with the unsaved at all costs,
you just want to be unified regardless of what the Bible says. You will become the enemy of God
and so you get to make the decision. Do you want to just please everyone, hold hands with everyone,
get along with everyone? Well, that's not going to cost you anything. That's not going to be hard.
You're not going to be a disciple of Christ and you're going to be the enemy of God or you could
decide to take a stand on what the Bible says even though you might get some heat, even though
people might not like you, but at least you're the friend of God that way. At least God looks
down from heaven and is pleased with you and is on your side and is blessing you. I'd rather have
God's protection on my life, God's blessing on my life than just to be liked by people. That's vain.
It doesn't matter. Being liked by people is empty. It doesn't bring you any benefits in life. What
brings you benefits in life is God's blessing and God's hand on you. You know what? You could succeed
at the workplace when everyone hates you if God's on your side. You could succeed in rearing your
children and having a godly marriage if your whole family hates you but God is for you. We could
succeed as a church and have unity in this church though the whole world hates us, though every
Jewish newspaper hates us, though all the false articles are written about us. It doesn't matter
if God's on our side then we could have success. That's what matters. Go to Matthew chapter seven,
Matthew seven. Mary Ann Budd said this, "The foundations we need for unity must be sturdy
enough to withstand the many storms that threaten it." That's a true statement. We do need a strong
foundation to have unity to withstand the storms and trials in life but you know what she already
told us what that foundation is it's just not agreeing on anything politically or otherwise.
That sounds like the sinking sands to me. That sounds like the shifting sands to me. Look at
Matthew 7 24 "Therefore whosoever hear these sayings of mine and do with them I will liken
him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock." What's that rock? The sayings of Jesus
Christ. The doctrines of the Bible. "And the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew
and beat upon that house and it fell not for it was founded upon a rock and everyone that hear
these sayings of mine and do with them not shall be likened unto a foolish man which built his house
upon the sand and the rains descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon
that house and it fell and great was the fall of it." It doesn't matter if we're talking about a
church, a nation, a family, a business. You want to have a strong foundation that's going to last
through the storms of life and the trials of life. It's got to be built on the sayings of Jesus
Christ. And by the way that's why our nation has stood for a long time. You know those foundations
have been eroded for a long time. People have been attacking those foundations for a long time.
And we need to kind of rebuild the foundations here. We need to get back to explaining people,
hey you see this great building that's standing right here. Let me explain to you why it's standing.
It's the King James Bible. It's the sayings of Jesus Christ. And we do need foundations strong
enough for unity. But the question is where are those foundations coming from? We have to agree
on that as a nation. Go to Leviticus 24. Leviticus 24. Then in her sermon she looked directly at the
president and she was asking him to show mercy. And she said this, "They may not be citizens
or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay
taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues,
vedera, and temples." Wait is this person pretending to be a Christian or are they just
like being a Unitarian just you know believe everything here? I thought that she's pretending
at least to be a Christian yet she's saying here oh show mercy on these people because they're
blessing our nation so much by being Muslims, going to the mosque, going to the synagogue,
going to the vedera, going to the temples. What the hell are you talking about? Why would that
make our nation strong? Why would you ask the president hey please have mercy on all the false
prophets and false religion of our world? Is that ever a good king in the Bible or were all the
good kings in the Bible the ones that destroyed the altars of Baal that that drove the sodomites
out of the land that destroyed the high places and destroyed the idols and look we talked about
freedom of religion and you know i'll refer you to that sermon but should the president ever
exalt a false religion hell no hell no you know president Reagan got up and was roasting all the
false Bible versions and was extolling the virtues of the King James Bible you know on the Apollo 8
mission in 1968 on Christmas Eve they went around the moon and read Genesis chapter 1 right we need
to as a nation exalt the truth not sit here and be like well show mercy to all the terrible false
religions sending people to hell look at Leviticus 24 22 ye shall have one manner of law as well for
the stranger as for one of your own country for I am the Lord your God see the problem is not
people coming from a different country the problem is not someone's from Mexico or someone's from
Ethiopia or someone's from Haiti that's not a problem what's a problem is if people come here
and don't want to assimilate to our culture and to our laws the Bible says you got to have one
law for the stranger and for those born in the land if someone comes to our country they need
to become an American they need to learn English they need to say hey we've got the same vision
we've got the same values we believe the Bible that's how it should be we're not we should not
be sitting here inviting Muslims into our nation we should not invite people that go to temples and
synagogues into our country you are begging for your country to be destroyed because when you have
no unity you will be destroyed and guess what you can't have unity with Muslims you can't have you
can't coexist with Jews the only option is for them to believe in Jesus Christ or they will go
to hell every false religion has two choices repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
or spend eternity in hell those are your options go to Exodus chapter 23 Exodus chapter 23 how
disgusting as a Christian nation for the inauguration of our president for some woman preacher to get up
and talk about mosques and synagogues and bodera and temples it's disgusting it's a shame Exodus
23 23 says for mine angel shall go before thee and bring thee in unto the Amorites and the Hittites
and the Parisites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites and I will cut them
off thou shalt make no covenant with them nor with their gods they shall not dwell in thy land
lest they make thee sin against me for if thou serve their gods it will surely be a snare unto
thee why in the world when the bible says not to let these heathen these devil worshiping heathen
into your land or it's going to cause your land to sin it's going to cause people to worship their
false gods why would our policy as a nation would be come on in muslims come on in hindus come on in
any false religion we should never encourage that as a nation and guess what you've been sold a bill
of goods to think that oh the statue of liberty is such a great symbol just welcoming the world
with open arms the bible doesn't teach welcome the earl of the world with open arms the bible
teaches not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers the bible does not teach oh please
here's our tranny statue come in canaanites and hittites and jebusites and gergashites we want
all the shites here no we want to not accept them we don't want them to dwell in our land
we don't want them to corrupt our nation with their false religion and and this is what people
do they'll say oh you're racist oh you hate black people i love a black person that's saved i love
a black christian in our nation that wants to follow the bible and guess what i don't like a
white person that's a muslim i don't like a white person that's a hindu i don't like a white person
that's an atheist i like christians and i want our nation filled with christian people and i think
our nation should not sit here and encourage false religion into our nation go to nehemiah chapter
13 nehemiah chapter 13 but i guess this is what you get when a female preacher gets up begging
you know sitting here running cover for other religions nehemiah 13 verse 23 says in those
days also i saw jews that had married wives of ashdod of amen and of moab so here you got the
people of god marrying the heathen nations now of course there's nothing wrong with interracial
marriage there's nothing wrong with a white person getting married to a black person or any color
you could think of that's not the problem but god uses physical truths carnal truths to illustrate
spiritual truths and here you weren't supposed to mix other nations why because they have
false religion why because they have a different value system than you so even today while i would
say it's absolutely not a sin to intermarry you know it's probably a bad idea though to marry
someone of a different religion in fact it's definitely a bad idea as a christian don't ever
marry someone that is of a different religion that's not right and you know you got to be
careful too with cultures that are very steeped in those religions even if they're not necessarily
a practitioner of that religion anymore different places have different culture and remember what
do you have to have to have unity agreement marriage is a pretty important unity in your life
and you better make sure you agree on some things before just marrying some person from some other
part of the world that you've never been to that you've never experienced you know i would at
least issue caution with that but look at verse 24 it says and their children spake half in the
speech of ashdod and could not speak in the jews language but according to the language of the
people oh great i mean diversity is our strength isn't it great that the children here are speaking
half one half the other no that's not that's not unity that's not a strength that's a problem as
illustrated by our example with soul winning here that only three people in the room can preach the
gospel in spanish leaving all of you to do what with the spanish speakers have a good day here's
a card right that's not a strength that's a weakness verse 25 and i contended with them i
like nehemiah and cursed them and smote certain of them and plucked off their hair and made them
swear by god saying you shall not give your daughters unto their sons nor take their daughters
unto your sons or for yourselves did not solomon king of israel sin by these things see what's the
problem with it is that it leads people into sin leads people to forsake the ways of the lord yet
among many nations was there no king like him who was beloved of his god and god made him king over
all israel nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin shall we then hearken unto you
to do all this great evil to transgress against our god in marrying strange wives look we as
christians need to stop giving any respect or credence to false religions whatsoever you know
it is against our religion to sit here and pretend like other religions are okay you know if you are
a christian with any influence with any authority if you're a christian in political office you
should not stand up and even pretend for one second that other religions are okay you should
actually use your influence to exalt christianity and that's what people did for a long time in our
nation now here's the president of the united states listening to some woman pastor one woman
preacher talking about these great people in our country that are faithful members of our mosques
our synagogues our temples what is this word our i thought we were christians no no we don't have
temples we don't have synagogues we don't have mosques we have churches of the lord jesus christ
and that's the only thing i'm going to put our in front of you know it used to be one nation under
god and that god was supposed to be the lord jesus christ not just one nation under whatever
false religion you want to make up that is a fairy tale she says this in his sermon on the mount
jesus of nazareth exhorts us to love not only our neighbors but to love our enemies and to pray for
those who persecute us to be merciful as our god is merciful to forgive others as god forgives us
you know what that's totally true but she doesn't understand what that means because the bible
says that love is the fulfilling of the law you want to have love in our country okay well then
why don't we love the victims of crimes that many of these criminals in our country are committing
oh you you love people so much so you want to keep the rapists and the murderers of our nation
from being prosecuted by the government or for being deported no you don't love anyone
you love satan is who you love if you actually loved children and victims then you would prosecute
criminals if you actually love children you would prosecute pedophiles this idea of just oh love
everyone it's impossible you cannot love everyone and then she finishes with this go ahead and go
to get your place in proverbs chapter 20 and daniel 8 it'll be the last place we go to proverbs 20
and daniel chapter number 8 then this false prophet looks at president trump and says let me make one
final plea mr president millions have put their trust in you and as you told the nation yesterday
you have felt the providential hand of a loving god in the name of our god i ask you to have mercy
upon the people in our country who are scared now there are gay and lesbian and trans children in
democratic republican and independent families some of them who fear for their lives you know
the bible says that the wicked flee when none pursue it you know there's no reason to be scared
if you're not a criminal if you're not a deviant if you're not a wicked person that deserves
punishment there's no reason to be scared oh have mercy and all these people are scared
uh the question shouldn't be are they scared the question should be are they criminals the question
should be have they done things worthy of death if they the answer is yes then be scared then be
afraid romans 13 says for he beareth not the sword in vain you should be afraid of the government
you should be afraid of authority when you're wicked you should be terrified look at proverbs
20 verse 26 a wise king scattereth the wicked and bring it the wheel over them you know if i was
preaching at this church i would have said mr president please look down at your bible proverbs
20 verse 26 a wise king scattereth the wicked and bring it the wheel over him i would say hey those
people that are scared out there that are criminals that have committed sins worthy of death i would
say mr president why don't you bring the wheel over those people that's what i would say not hey
please show mercy on pedophiles no show no mercy on those people show mercy on victims show mercy
on innocent people that are getting killed by criminal illegal immigrants in our country why
don't you show mercy on those people why don't you show mercy on the people that are victims
of crimes in our country why don't you execute judgment and righteousness why don't you plead
the cause of the poor and widow and for the dumb that can't defend themselves why don't you be a
real leader and attack these people the way they should be attacked i'm so sick of this false unity
this false love this you know diversity equity inclusion you know what i just want the bible
i just want justice i just want what's right for this world for the victims of crimes and for god's
people that's what i want daniel chapter number eight daniel chapter number eight i want you to
understand that this this movement of unity this movement of diversity and unity by not agreeing
on anything i need you to understand that this is from the devil and that this is what the antichrist
is going to be promoting daniel 8 verse 25 it's a dual fulfillment between antychus epiphanes and
the antichrist verse 25 says and through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand
and he shall magnify himself in his heart notice this and by peace shall destroy many he shall also
stand up against the prince of princes but he shall be broken without hand the bible says that by
peace he will destroy many the antichrist is going to come promise this false peace this false unity
the world will be unified behind the antichrist the world will think that he is god the world
will take a mark to buy and to sell and worship the antichrist but guess what not all unity is good
not all unity is of god there's a unity coming to this world where the world's going to be more
unified than it's ever been and it's straight from the devil it's satanic it's wicked look we
should strive for unity and peace where we can do so in a godly way as much as lieth in us let us
live peaceably with all men we should be striving for unity we should be striving for peace but never
at the expense of the bible hey i want peace with my neighbor i want unity with this world i want
unity with the people in the apartment complex we were soul winning at yesterday but you know
how we're going to get unity with them by preaching them the gospel and them getting saved i want unity
in my family and it's going to be from my family looking at the words of god and saying this is
what we're following in life i want unity in this church you know what it's going to come from you
actually reading your bible not being carnal not listening to all the podcasts and all the advice
of this world to get your worldview for you to actually put your nose in this book read it and
believe what it says and for me as a leader to spend time in this book and present to you what
the words of jesus christ actually say and when we actually submit ourselves to this we could actually
have true unity but we need to reject the false unity out there we need to call it out for what
it is don't give into this garbage of diversity unity at all costs realize it's of the devil and
try to strive for godly unity let's pray lord we thank you for our church here we thank you for
the unity that we have here in this room and also with like-minded churches here this morning lord
we do pray for our nation that preachers in this nation would get up and just kick and scream about
how we need to return to the word of god how we need to exalt the laws of the bible above any
opinions or cultural trends i pray that preachers would start getting the boldness again to preach
the truth and that we could change the hearts of men in our communities and that these changes
could someday be reflected by godly laws i pray that we would just strive for any victories that
we can i do pray lord that the 2015 supreme court decision would be overturned that we could remove
some of the shame that's been on our country for so long and i do pray for the people in this room
that they would be loyal to the word of god that they'd be filled with the spirit of god
and that we would strive and endeavor to keep the unity of the spirit
i love you and jesus let me pray amen for our last hymn this morning if you would grab your
hymnals turn to number 34 i know that my redeemer liveth hymn number 3434 i know that my redeemer
liveth. we'll sing there starting on the first i know that my redeemer liveth.
