if you would to numbers 25 verse chapter number 25 verse chapter 25 and
Israel boat in Shittim and the people began to commit whoredom with the
daughters of Moab and they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods
and the people did eat and bowed down to their gods and Israel joined himself
unto Baal Peor and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel and the Lord
said unto Moses take all the heads of the people and hang and hang them up
before the Lord against the Sun that the fierce anger of the Lord may be
turned away from Israel and Moses said unto the judges of Israel slay ye every
one of his men every one his men that were joined unto Baal Peor and behold
one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianite
woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the
children of Israel who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation and when Phineas the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest saw
it he rose up from among the congregation and took a javelin in his
hand and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and thrust both of them
through the man of Israel and the woman through her belly so the plague was
stayed from the children of Israel and those that died in the plague were twenty
and four thousands and the Lord spake unto Moses saying Phineas the son of
Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest hath turned my wrath away from the children
of Israel while he was zealous for my sake among them that I consumed not the
children of Israel in my jealousy wherefore say behold I give unto him my
covenant of peace and he shall have it and his seed after him even the covenant
of an everlasting priesthood because he was zealous for his God and made an
atonement for the children of Israel now the name of the Israelite that was
slain even that was slain with the Midianitish woman was Zimri the son of
Seleu as prince of the chief house among the Simeonites in the name of the
Midianitish woman that was slain was caused by the daughter of Zer he was
head over a people and a chief house in Midian and the Lord spake unto Moses
saying vex the Midianites and smite them for they vex you with their wiles
wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor and in the matter of
caused by the daughter of a prince of Midian their sister which was slain in
the day of the plague for Peor sake. Let's bow our heads for a word of prayer your
heavenly father thank you for this day in church. I pray that you go pastor off with your spirit and that we will receive your blessing from the Holy Spirit.
Amen. Numbers 25 start reading in verse number one the Bible says in Israel abode in
Shattim and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab and
they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods and the people
did eat and bowed down to their gods. So you see the people of Israel here going
aside unto women that are not of the children of Israel. They're different
nation and that causes them to go after a different God. Which of course reminds
us how in the New Testament we're not supposed to be unequally yoked together
with unbelievers. It's definitely a bad idea to marry someone that is not saved
because this kind of thing happens. It says in verse 3, "And Israel joined
himself unto Baal Peor, and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. And
the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up
before the Lord against the Son, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned
away from Israel." So notice God seeing his people go aside unto false religion
and go aside unto whoredom. It says that it made God very angry. And you know what?
The Lord does not change in 2026. You know what still makes God angry? Whoredom
and false religion. He still gets mad about this kind of stuff today. And he
was so mad he said, "Hey, take the heads of the people," I think referring to their
leadership. And he's like, "Hang them up before the Son." He's like, "Why don't you
kill the people that are responsible for this abomination?" It says in verse
number five, "And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, 'Slay ye everyone his
men that were joined unto Baal Peor. And behold, one of the children of Israel
came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses
and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel who were
weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation." Boy, talk
about having no fear of God whatsoever, having no respect for the man of God, for
the people of God. Where God is angry, He's given this instruction for Moses to
kill the leaders that are responsible for this. Then this one guy, he just takes
a Midianitis woman in front of everyone, just like, "Hey, over here, guys, look at
me. Here's my new girl. We're gonna go here into this tent and commit fornication."
Just utter brazen sin, having no fear of God. You know, when you sin brazenly like
that, you could expect a brazen punishment, because keep reading here. It
says in verse number seven, here's the hero of the story, "And when Fanehas, the
son of Eliezer, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the
congregation and took a javelin in his hand, and he went after the man of
Israel into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the
woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel,
and those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. And the Lord
spake unto Moses, saying, 'Fanehas, the son of Eliezer, the son of Aaron the
priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel.'" Notice this
phrase, "While he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the
children of Israel in my jealousy. Wherefore, say, 'Behold, I give unto him my
covenant of peace.'" I taught my sermon this morning is this, zealous for God,
zealous for God. Here you had a whole nation screwing up here, having a big
major issue where they're going aside to false religion, they're committing
whoredom, and you have even some individuals that are so brazen, they're
just in the sight of Moses, in the sight of the congregation, just taking their
new girl into the tent, bringing her in to a whole bunch of other people, just a
horrible, disgusting situation where God's wrath is coming down on a nation,
but one person's zeal, just one man actually being zealous for God, was able
to stay God's wrath from being worse than it already was, right? The Bible says
that because Phinehas was zealous for his sake, that's what caused God to stay
the plague on these people. Now, go if you would, keep your place there, and go to
John chapter number 18. There's a couple lessons from this story we can get, and
then we'll make a bunch of applications to us in our lives, but right off the
bat, just reading this story, you see a man who's bothered by false religion. He
actually cares. It upsets him that people are going aside under false gods. You see
a guy who's actually bothered by sin. It makes him upset when he sees fornication
just being tolerated and celebrated. It made him so mad that he went into the
tent and made human shish kebab and God commends him for it saying, "Hey, this man
was zealous." You know what that tells me right off the bat is that God likes people
that are zealous. God likes people that care. God likes people that are on fire.
God likes people that they read God's commandment and in our heart we agree
with it we love it we want to see it preached we want to champion it you know
people that actually hate sin despise sin despise false religion God likes
these kind of people you know what I like these kind of people one of the
things that attracted me to the new IFB movement when I was a young teen was the
zeal for God because I'd been in some churches before very few in my life and
I just noticed the apathy how people just didn't care you see people sleeping
you see people you know preachers bored by their own sermons they don't have
anything to say they don't care about what the Bible says they're not excited
it's like that annoyed me that turned me off to religion I was like why would I
come to a church when the people here at the church don't even care about the
church they don't even care about the work of God the preacher himself
doesn't care but you know I heard great preaching from pastor Anderson I was
like hey this guy's zealous this guy's on fire this guy's mad about sin this
guy hates false religion this guy loves the truth and you know it whenever I'm
around someone like that I automatically like that person and I would rather be
around someone that's a little too hot a little too on fire a little you know
cares a little bit too much if you would then someone who's just lukewarm
let me read for you Revelation 3 verse 15 Jesus said I know thy works that thou
art neither cold nor hot I would thou work cold or hot so then because thou
art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot I will spew thee out of my mouth you know
God does not like people that are lukewarm and I personally have just
never understood the mentality that some people have where Christianity is kind
of like their side gig where create we're serving God going to church that's
kind of something on the side and then everything else in their life they get
excited about because it's not that everyone in this world is just
apathetic relax zeal no people have zeal for a lot of different things today
right hey you know a lot of old boomers they sure have zeal for their golf
courses and their vacations and their boats and boy there's a lot of
Oklahomans don't they have zeal for OU or OSU God help those people right and
and people today have zeal for shopping and and zeal for spending money or zeal
for making money but you know what I'm looking for people that have zeal to
serve God you know God is looking for someone today that actually cares about
the things of God and I'm telling you I'd rather be around people that are a
little too hot that go a little off over the top sometimes than someone who just
doesn't care because someone who goes a little over the top sometimes you know
what that tells me that they care deeply let me tell you a story about one of my
best friends Ben Naim okay this is a guy who's on fire this is a guy who is
zealous and back in 2022 I preached a sermon I don't even remember what it's
called it was called why we won't shut up and it caused me and my family to be
doxed it caused sodomites to come to my home and this this ended up blasting for
years just non-stop sodomites at my house honking throwing stuff being a
nuisance well the first day that they discovered where we lived I guess I got
followed home from some City Council meeting and then we found out we're
doxed my wife is crying she's upset and I guess she texted Ben's wife I didn't
even know this was going on because I was outside dealing with all this and
I'm dealing with the police I'm talking to the police and all of a sudden this
car just comes screaming in comes out and this angry Arabic man steps out and
slams the doors where are they and it's Ben that's my it's my friend Ben and I'm
like Ben the police are here calm down it's alright the police are here he's
like he's pissed he's hyperventilating he's mad and he's like I'm staying here
all night these faggots want to come to your house they're gonna have to go
through me and then literally we're sitting on my porch and sodomites start
driving by in their vehicle cussing yelling threatening and Ben as these
cars drive by literally just goes into a dead sprint down my street in the dark
at night chasing a vehicle now that's probably not the best strategy
tactically speaking to defend yourself or whatever but I'm just like you know
this is a great friend right here this is a real one and am I recommending
that you chase down sodomites no I am NOT but you know what I like about Ben
the guy is zealous the guy is on fire you don't have to you don't have to
wonder where he stands on the sodomite issue he's I don't have to wonder that
if I get in the news for preaching against the fags oh will my friend Ben
support me it's like he might support me a little too much I might have to be
like all right all right let's not physically attack them or something like
that but you know I just I like a person like that and today I feel like one of
the biggest needs we have in Christianity is just for people to care
it's just for people to be bothered by sin it's just for someone to be upset
about the fact there's a city out here going to hell you know I feel like this
has kind of been a theme of my preaching lately of just trying to get people to
care because it is a lack in our country today of people that actually care and
you know what Fane has it's like maybe he went over a little bit over the top I
mean he saw a fornicating couple and he went and he just skewered them and killed
them not saying we should do that today in 2026 but you know what God liked
about him he was zealous he was on fire he cared and you know you think about the
Apostle Peter didn't he have some times where maybe he went a little over the
top it was a little too zealous but think about think about this I'd rather
be with a guy like Peter than a guy like Demas who Paul said hey Demas having
loved this present world forsook him right look at if you would John chapter
18 verse 10 it says then Simon Peter having a sword drew it and smote the
high priests servant and cut off his right ear the servants name was Malchus
then it said Jesus unto Peter put up thy sword into thy sheath the cup which my
father hath given me shall I not drink it it's like obviously was what Peter
did here the right thing no but you know at least he cared about his Lord right
at least he was upset at the fact that Jesus was coming to get arrested and you
know shortly after this he would have a low point in his faith where he would
forsake Christ he would deny Christ but he ended up coming back didn't he why
because somewhere in Peter's heart he was just a person that cared he was a
person that had intensity he was a person that had zeal he was a person
that if you were gonna attack Jesus you might get your ear cut off around him I
mean think about that literally happened Malchus the Bible gives us his name so
that people during this time could go find this guy like hey you're the guy
hey how's your ear healed up right I mean it's kind of a crazy story but I
like that he is zealous and here's the thing I would rather be friends with a
pastor who maybe fights a little too much oh you know the new IFB we're
always fighting you know I'd rather be around people that maybe fight a little
too much then people who won't fight at all that won't take a stand at all
because the independent Baptist movement today is filled with a bunch of
preachers that want to be comfortable that want to have full seats at any
cost that want to have a nice salary and never upset anyone and here's the
thing that's not the case with my friends hey the new IFB will say some
things to piss people off we'll come off sometimes as a little bit toxic and
that might turn some people away that are weak and effeminate and not zealous
but here's the thing there's got to be some movement that is zealous there's
got to be some place where people can go to in Oklahoma City and in Fort Worth
Texas and in Phoenix Arizona where someone could find some Fanejas in this
world that are still upset about sin that are still ready to preach the
gospel that are still angry about people going to hell and willing to do
something about it you know I'd rather be around people who maybe their
standards are a little too high to you then someone who just doesn't care right
because some people could could criticize being like oh you have too
high of standards right and there's some people where they go above what the
Bible teaches and as long as they're not enforcing that on other people there's
nothing wrong with having higher standards but those kind of people those
type of people will sometimes be made fun of but it's like wouldn't you rather
be around someone who has a standard that maybe is a little too high then
people who just have no fear of God and or how about these types you know people
will come to a church and then they'll go on social media and they'll just
blast their lifestyle there's everything against what the church
preaches what is that it's just someone that doesn't have fear of God someone
that doesn't have any zeal for the truth right it's like it makes me think
about how the ladies will come to church in a skirt and dress and then
they'll go post all over the internet of them wearing pants what is that it's
like they just don't care they don't have the zeal and it's like hey I'd
rather be around someone who has maybe a little bit too high standards than
someone who just doesn't care to have any standards go if you would to
Galatians chapter number one and of course keep your place there in numbers
25 throughout the sermon if you would you know I think about a man who was
used greatly by God that is the Apostle Paul and you know one of the reasons I
think the Apostle Paul was used so greatly was not because he had such an
awesome pedigree or such a great past or such a great resume to be a church
builder but he was because he was a zealous person look what the Bible says
in Galatians 1 verse 13 says for you have heard of my conversation in times
past in the Jews religion how that beyond measure I persecuted the Church
of God and wasted it and profited in the Jews religion above many mine equals in
my no nation being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers
so here's the thing when the Apostle Paul was wrong he was definitely wrong and
there's no excusing that but he was sincere and he was zealous and someone
who is sincere and who is zealous someone who wants to know the truth will
come to the truth those that ask will find okay those who knock it will be
open unto them and here's the thing he was in the wrong set you know religious
system he was zealous for it but I'll read another verse for you about him in
first Timothy 1 to 12 it says and I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who hath
enabled me for that he counted me faithful putting me into the ministry who
was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious but I obtained mercy
because I did it ignorantly in unbelief right so the Apostle Paul he was
ignorant as to the evil that he was doing by being with the Pharisees by
going after this new sect in his mind of religion and because he did it
ignorantly in unbelief but he was at least zealous maybe God looked at him
and said hey if this guy is super zealous for what he sincerely believes
once he learns the truth hopefully he'll be sincerely zealous as well for the
truth and what did we see in reality happen to him just that you see the
Apostle Paul who he said hey I labored more abundantly than they all what
causes a man to work harder than everyone else someone who cares what
causes someone to keep going after being stoned someone who cares after being
betrayed after going through shipwrecks I mean that that'd be the hardest one
right there being in the ocean a day or a night no thank you right he was a
zealous man go to Galatians chapter 4 Galatians chapter number 4 you know God
likes those that have zeal Galatians 4 look at verse 17 it says they zealously
affect you but not well yea they would exclude you that you might affect them
see here's the thing most people are zealous about something right and a lot
of people are zealous about things that are not good what does the Bible say in
verse 18 but it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing and not
only when I'm present with you we want to couple these two things together we
want extreme zeal and we want to have extreme zeal for the right things when
you have this combination together you are forced to be reckoned with when
you're zealous when you care when you're bothered and it's about the right
things you're on fire for the truth man you are gonna be a powerhouse of a
Christian go if you would back to numbers 25 so that's a lesson let's
apply this to ourselves all right number one we need to be zealous in our
hatred for sin zealous in our hatred for sin let's read this again in verse
number six of numbers chapter number 25 it says and behold one of the children
of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midian-Itish woman in the
sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation so notice what this guy
is doing he's bringing a Midian-Itish woman to his brethren think about how
little shame this person has like there's committing fornication which is
wicked and evil now imagine just explaining to others that you're
committing fornication bringing your girl to your brethren doing this in the
sight of the preacher and the sight of the man of God in the sight of all
Israel I mean this guy is a piece of work could you imagine just being so
brazen having such little fear of God and notice it says it says in the sight
of Moses and in the sight of the congregation of the children of Israel
who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation so those
there were some people that cared there are some people that said man we screwed
up we messed up God is angry at us and they're weeping but you have some
people who respond to correction you have some people who respond to the truth
and then you have other people that are just brazen and don't care you have
people where hey it doesn't matter if it's in front of the word the man of God
it doesn't matter if it's in front of the rest of the church the rest of God's
people they're just gonna be a wicked piece of crap and they don't care
whatsoever then it says verse number 7 and when Fanehas the son of Eliezer the
son of Aaron the priest notice these two words saw it he rose up from among the
congregation and took a javelin in his hand notice he was pissed off that this
sin was going on and that it was so brazen that he sees this whore and this
whoremonger mocking the man of God mocking God mocking God's people and he
sees them and he's just like let's go handle this right or it's like Ben he
sees the faggots driving by and he just he goes into a dead sprint good thing
Ben didn't have a javelin you know he might have ended up on the news or
something like that but hey what is that what does that show about Fanehas is
that he hated sin it made him mad he did not like to see God
disrespected God's man disrespected God's people emboldened this wicked sin
of fornication the Bible says flee fornication right hey every sin that a
man doeth oh man I'm gonna misquote that the Bible teaches that if you commit
fornication you do that against your own body you're sinning against your own
body and so look he looked at that and he was angry and some people will say
well we'll hold on but that sounds like judging that sounds like venehas was
judging yeah you better believe it yeah we should judge the Bible says hey judge
righteous judgment we need some Christians today that will stop being
such cowards and get back to saying that fornication is wicked that girls that go
out and sleep with a bunch of men are whores hey happy Mother's Day why don't
we teach our kids to stop being whores how about that that's what that's what
the Proverbs 31 woman she taught her son King Lemuel hey give not thy strength
unto women man we need some moms today that are gonna teach their sons to not
be whoremongers to not go after whores and we need to stop caring today about
what a bunch of whores and whoremongers think of us we should be condemning them
we have a backwards world today where Christians won't preach the Bible they
won't say what needs to be said because a bunch of whores and whoremongers and
drunks and blasphemers and faggots are gonna judge the church who cares about
those people who cares hey you know what you're out committing whoredom you
better be careful what might happen to you hey we need to preach to the
children today hey don't grow up and be a whore because God might just kill you
he killed 24,000 people in one day sounds to me like God's pissed about
whoredom sounds to me like God today is mad at the false religion go if you
would to Psalm 101 Psalm 101 yeah we will judge and you know what we ought to be
very careful not to downplay sin because God today is angry at the people
that downplay sin that don't care that aren't affected when the when the Bible
calls something out when a preacher calls something out when something is
corrected from God's Word we have a lot of people today that just don't care you
know God does not like those type of people God likes the finnehases that
when there's a sin going on they're affected by it they're angry they're mad
they're willing to do something about it you know today we got a big problem in
this area of fornication with people both committing fornication and how about
people just watching fornication look what the Bible says in Psalm 101 verse
3 says I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes I hate the work of them that
turn aside it shall not cleave to me how is it that the psalmist is able to
say hey I will not set any wicked thing before mine eyes because he hates the
work of them that turn aside see if you want to get sin out of your life you
know what you have to do you have to hate it you have to be angry at the
wickedness of our country and do you really think that if God killed 24,000
people for committing fornication you really think that God commenced but he
has for doing what he did you know you think that if God tells you to flee
fornication that he wants you literally watching fornication I mean that's
insane today folks but look this is a big problem that we have in our world
where a lot of people are just forgoing marriage they're not getting married at
a very young age and it's because oftentimes they've got this crutch
called their cell phone and you know what it's wicked and we ought to hate it
we ought to not to make excuses for it or downplay it or say you know boys will
be boys or whatever no no it's wicked we should hate the work of those that turn
aside we should set no wicked thing before our eyes we need to have that
zeal to hate sin go to Psalm 119 Psalm 119 look at Psalm 119 verse 104
through thy precepts I get understanding therefore I hate every false way how
about getting a hatred for false religion you know I don't believe in
co-existing I don't believe in co-existing I don't believe in
respecting false religions I hate every false way oh but you're gonna make the
Muslims mad hey forget the Muslims they're wicked as hell they worship a
pedophile you know it's funny when the Epstein list stuff is all over in the
news and tons of Americans rightly so are upset about the pedophile rings in our
government yeah you know who's mad about that a Christian nation you know who's
not upset about that who you never hear complain about that stuff Muslims why
because it would make them a big fat hypocrite think about the the irony and
hypocrisy if a Muslim got up and said oh we got to take care of this Epstein
issue we got to take care of the pedophilia and the American government
bro you worship a pedophile you worship a pedophile not just excuse it turn a
blind eye you literally worship a pedophile
Mohammed married Aisha when she was six years old folks and consummated that
marriage with her when she was nine I hate Islam piss me upon Mohammed every
single Muslim is on their way to hell and I don't want to live in a country
where we have to tiptoe around their feelings let me tell you they shouldn't
even be here get these stupid Muslims out of our country get saved or leave we
hate Islam we don't want you to feel comfortable here we don't want you to
feel like this is your home it's not this is a Christian land and you know
what here in Oklahoma we hate Islam we hate your prophet we would spit on your
book we would destroy your Quran because it's evil and wicked hey how about
Catholicism you know they're not our brothers they're an evil false religion
they are the biggest cult on planet earth oh you use that word too lightly
throwing around the name cult no no the Catholic Church is literally a cult why
because they have a man as their ultimate authority that the Catholic
Church says is infallible that the Catholic Pope when he speaks ex
cathedra he is infallible and his words would supersede scripture and this is
what you know why the Catholic Church over the years has changed their
doctrines because the Pope could just speak new doctrines into existence look
every single Catholic is in a cult we make no apologies about it we hate
Catholicism now do we love the Catholic yes and you know what thank God one of
the things I love about Catholics is they know almost nothing about their own
religion talk about zeal they have no zeal most Catholics have no zeal
whatsoever you know if you run into a Catholic that's very zealous that
person is actually very hard to get saved but most Catholics are very easy
to get saved because they have no clue about their own religion they don't know
anything about their doctrines I can't tell you how many Catholics have told me
oh we believe salvation is by faith no we don't believe you have to be baptized
to be saved and it's like here's your Roman catechism here's the 20 things it
says you have to do to be saved it's like they don't even know their own
doctrine but you know what we should hate Catholicism we should hate
Mormonism we should not make some little you know excuse for them oh they have
good family units all they're so nice oh have you been to their Desiree bookstore
oh have you seen how they take care of each other look they're a cult they
follow an antichrist Joseph Smith who also was a pedophile and by the way
Mormonism is just the white man's Islam because Mormonism says that an angel
came to Joseph Smith and gave him extra revelation and more Islam says that an
angel came to Muhammad and gave him extra revelation watch out for people
saying they get special revelation from God look we hate these false religions
go to second John second John you know people have just been brainwashed today
to think hey we we have to respect all beliefs we have to respect all religions
we can't say anything bad about them whatsoever you know that mentality did
not come from scripture look at second John verse number 9 it says whosoever
transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God he that
abideth in the doctrine of Christ hath both the father and the son if there
come any unto you and bring not this doctrine receive him not into your house
neither bid him God speed who would that apply to how about Mormon missionaries I
get so tired today of bleeding-heart Christians who think they're smarter
than God and they'll say oh well whenever the Mormon missionaries come to
me I sit there and I have a long conversation with them and I try to
preach them the Bible it's like the Bible says not to receive them you know
what that means you don't sit there and talk to them you don't act like they're
nice you don't say have a nice day you don't say God bless you at the end of
the conversation why look at the next verse for he that bit of him Godspeed
is partaker of his evil deeds how'd you like that on your account that you're
helping false prophets that the sins of damning people to hell you know
proselytizing their their false gospel that God is gonna look at you as being a
partaker of that here's what you should do to Mormons here's what you should do
to false prophets is you should rebuke them as sharply as you can why because
you want to discourage them from doing what they're doing because when you sit
there and you have a nice conversation and you reason back and forth about the
Bible you're encouraging them because they're thinking like oh I'm making some
progress wow I had a good conversation they're thinking oh I planted a seed
with this person here's what you should do scream at them yell at them tell them
to go the hell away I mean get angry get upset about the false religion and and
hey you know man why don't you take care of this I understand your wife may not
want to you know my wife at times has seen me yell at some Mormons and been a
little oh honey but you know what I just do it me and my wife were on a walk one
day and these little Mormons drove back on our on their little bicycle past us
and they're like oh good evening I said go to hell and my wife's like because
you know that's not how ladies are built but you know what we should do that yeah
I want them to be afraid I want them to be discouraged I want them to be like
man don't send your missionaries to Oklahoma those guys hate Mormonism those
guys will yell at you those guys will get upset at you and you know what some
of our soul winners have done this and I've gotten the phone calls from the
Mormons complaining I'm just like hey they sounds like they did a right job
you're a false prophet you're on your way to hell you know we should hate false
religion go to Hebrews chapter 1 Psalm 45 verse 7 says this thou lovest
righteousness and hatest wickedness therefore God thy God hath anointed thee
with the oil of gladness above thy fellows see people who are filled with
the Holy Spirit they do not only love that which is good and love
righteousness but they also hate wickedness and the more you're filled
with the Holy Spirit the more you are going to hate that which is evil that
which is you know damning people to hell bad sinful lifestyles look at Jesus it
talks about Jesus in Hebrews 1 verse 8 it says but unto the Son he saith thy
throne O God is forever and ever the scepter of righteousness is the scepter
of thy kingdom by the way the Bible teaches Jesus is God just why the more
the Muslims do not respect Jesus because telling God that he's not God is
blasphemous okay notice what it says about the Lord Jesus Christ in verse 9
thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity therefore God even thy God
hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows so notice
Jesus was max filled with the Holy Spirit he was anointed with the Holy
Spirit above anyone else why because he loved righteousness and he hated
iniquity right so so God likes people that are zealous God likes people that
are angry at sin God likes people that hate false religion you know what he's
gonna bless someone with being filled with the Holy Spirit of God who
actually hates wickedness hatred is not a bad word there is ungodly hatred but
let me tell you something we should hate fornication we should hate blasphemy we
should hate false religion you know what if you hate the right things God will
fill you with the Holy Spirit go to John chapter number 2 John chapter number 2
I said number 1 we need to be zealous for our hatred of wickedness number 2 we
need to be zealous for the house of God look at John chapter number 2 verse 13
it says in the Jews Passover was at hand and Jesus went up to Jerusalem and found
in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and the changers of
money sitting and when he had made a scourge of small cords he drove them all
out of the temple and the sheep and the oxen and poured out the changers money
and overthrew the tables and said unto them that sold doves take these things
hence make not my father's house and house of merchandise and his disciples
remembered that it is it was written notice the zeal of thine house have eaten
me up you know one of the things I love about the Lord Jesus Christ is he was
zealous for the house of God boy do we need some Christians today to get a love
in their heart and a care for the house of God man it's a need today so many
people in this community are saved and they don't care about the house of God
Jesus cared and when he saw the house of God being abused he sat down in
righteous anger and made a weapon and went and started beating the crap out of
Jews that was the Lord Jesus Christ you know be careful what you say when you're
like hey you need to be more Christ like are you sure you want people to be like
that because hey this is max filled with the Holy Spirit Jesus what he's doing
here is righteous I know the ADL wouldn't say that he would have a whole
article in the ADL Jesus would be on the ADL hit list he'd be having a target on
his head and of course he did he ended up getting killed by the Jews but you
know he was angry that the Jews were abusing the house of God that they're
turning the house of God into what the Jews always do some sort of money-making
scheme right because they love the things of this world they don't love God
and you know what today we should be upset at churches that are wicked we
should be upset at churches that take the house of God and they use that
platform to preach heresy to preach lies or even just wasting God's people's
time you know it just annoys me today how many churches will get up and it's
just joke fest article fest opinion fest and it's like hey this is the house of
God this is not to be a spectacle this is not to get people to laugh at your
jokes this is the house of God we should be zealous for the house of God go to
first Timothy chapter number three man we need in our country today some
Christians that are going to care about the house of God it's very easy to get
people saved and thank God for that salvation is easy how much how much
harder is it for people to go to church though have you noticed that any
soul owners here ever notice how many people tell you oh I'll be I'll be in
church I'll be there where they at what are they lacking zeal they're lacking
zeal you want to know why you're here today is because you care is because you
love the truth you love God's house we need some people today to care first
Timothy chapter 3 verse 14 the Bible says this these things ride I unto thee
hoping to come unto thee shortly but if I tarry long that thou mayest know how
thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God which is the church of the
living God the pillar and ground of the truth a couple things we could pull out
of this verse one is I like how the assumption is already made that you're
going to church it's kind of like how in Ecclesiastes it talks about when you go
to the house of God be more ready to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools
you know people who say we don't need church today are a bunch of idiots
people who say hey we shouldn't go to church in the New Testament there's no
commandment look the Bible is just taking for granted that you're gonna go
to church why because it says when you're in church it says how thou oughtest to
behave thyself in the house of God he's saying hey you need to know how to
behave yourself at church doesn't that imply you're going to church if he's
telling you you need to know how to behave at this place he's already
assuming you're gonna go to this place why because it's obvious that we should
be in church why because I don't know maybe Jesus Christ shed his blood for
the church the Bible says and he says this the church the house of God which
is the Church of the Living God the pillar and ground of the truth right so
the job of the church is to lift up and showcase the truth right what is that
the Word of God and this is the institution on this earth earth that is
the house of the Living God I don't understand how someone could not care
about it I don't understand how someone could be saved how someone could have
the Holy Spirit of God inside of them and there's an institution on this earth
that is the house of the Living God and people don't care people show up just
whatever they want people are just always late people are just always
sleeping people are just never paying attention don't care about the house of
God have a bad attitude don't strive to keep unity with God's people look there's
something wrong with a person that does not care about church there's a lack of
zeal in your heart and I'm telling you you need to find it somewhere in you to
care about the house of God and I cannot make anyone do that I wish I could I
could sit here and be upset about it I could tell you what you need to do but
you know a man having separated himself seek it and intermeddle it with all
wisdom you have to want it you have to seek it out go if you would to act
chapter number 20 acts chapter number 20 this is the Apostle Paul is like
farewell address to the elders at Ephesus in verse number 28 it says this
right here take heed therefore unto yourselves into all the flock over which
the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers to feed the church of God which he hath
purchased with his own blood so again how precious is the blood of Jesus
Christ we sing songs about the blood of Jesus the precious blood of Jesus
without the shedding of blood there's no remission of sins the blood of Jesus is
so unbelievably precious to us and the Bible says that God shed his blood for
the church we need to care about it we need to love it and you know what to
pastors, because that's kind of who he's addressing here. You know, pastors need to be up there
feeding the flock of God and taking their job seriously. And you know what? Pastors should
never just get comfortable or forget about the holy, sacred task of pastoring and preaching the
word of God. And men, if you ever get up here and have an opportunity to feed the flock of God,
you better feed the flock of God. You better preach the word. You better use the Bible. You
better preach the truth. Why? Because this is God's sheep that he died for. This is God's house that
he died for. And you know what? This is not a light task. Church is not a light thing. It is a
holy thing. We ought to fear God in the house of God. Go, if you would, to John chapter number one.
John chapter number one. You know, it's Mother's Day. And I could get up here and just pat every
mom on the back and tell everyone how great they are and how wonderful they are, because that's
what everyone wants to hear. But you know what? How about you think about what type of example
you're setting as a mother in the house of God? Do you want your kids to grow? Like, think about
this. If your kids grew up and treated church exactly how you treat church, would you be happy
with that? Would you want your kids to have the church attendance that you have, Mom?
Would you want your kids to think about the house of God and act in the house of God the way that
you do? Would you want your children to read the Bible as much as you do? If you're thinking like,
no, I want my kids to do a lot better. Okay, well, here's your Mother's Day reset is start caring
about the house of God. Start showing a better example to your children. Number three, we need
to be zealous for right doctrine. We need to be zealous for right doctrine. Look at John chapter
number one, and we'll definitely get much more in depth into these verses this evening, but we'll
go through them really quickly. John one verse number one, the Bible says in the beginning was
the word and the word was with God and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made. I wonder who this
is talking about. Okay, let's go down to verse number 14. And the word was made flesh and dwelt
among us and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father, full of grace
and truth. Look, Jesus Christ is the word of God. The word of God is Jesus. Jesus is God. The word
of God is God. And you know why we should care about right doctrine? Because when people lie
about the Bible, when they twist the Bible, when they teach false doctrine, they are maligning
Jesus Christ. Because this is the reflection of Jesus Christ. And when someone lies about the
Bible, they're twisting who Jesus is. You know, there's a lot of false doctrines today that are
taught, that are completely lies, twisting scripture that makes Jesus Christ look bad.
So some lies that people today have just accepted, hook, line, and sinker. How about this lie? This
lie that God loves everyone. You know what, we should have zeal to be against that false doctrine.
Why? Because it is maligning Jesus Christ. It is twisting Jesus Christ to sit here and say, oh yeah,
God loves Jeffrey, Jeffrey Epstein. Oh yeah. Jesus Christ loves the training school shooters. Oh,
Jesus Christ loves all the pedophiles and all the sodomites and all the faggots and all the false
prophets. No, no, no. That maligns Jesus Christ to say that it makes him look bad. And I don't
appreciate people teaching lies that make my savior look bad. We should be zealous about that.
Go to Matthew chapter number 18, Matthew chapter number 18. You know, if people today would just
read the Bible, boy, we'd have a lot less false doctrine, wouldn't we? Because you know what Jesus
actually taught about people that would offend little children? Let's read it together. Matthew
18 verse six, words of Jesus, but who so shall offend one of these little ones which believe in
me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and that he were drowned
in the depth of the sea. Now look, that is a horrible death. Imagine, you know, your body just
being taken down to the depths of the sea, the pressure that you would be feeling in your body.
I don't know if you would implode, explode, you probably implode, horrible, terrifying death,
but here's the thing, Jesus says it would be better for someone to have that happen to them
than what's going to happen to them in hell, those that offend children because 100% of
pedophiles are going to hell because it is a reprobate sin. It is an unnatural sin and
someone who is a pedophile, that is a reflection of the fact that their heart has been darkened,
their mind has been given over to a reprobate mind, their conscience has been seared, and so
someone that would harm a little child doesn't matter what people think. Hey, our government
should lawfully execute every single pedophile. That is the Christian attitude to have. That is
the right attitude to have. You know, it makes me mad when people say, "Oh, Jesus loves pedophiles.
Oh, Jesus will give this pedophile another chance." No, Jesus said it would be better if they were
tossed into the sea with a millstone around their neck. And so if that's what Jesus actually thinks,
but then people, how would you like it if I went around saying, "Hey, brother so-and-so
thinks this pedophile should be loved and given a second chance." You'd be like, "What's wrong with
him? That's terrible." That's what people are doing to Jesus. Whereas Jesus actually said, "Kill him."
Whereas Jesus actually said, "Leviticus 20 13." What he actually said is Romans 1. Let's go to
Romans 1 together. Romans chapter number 1, Romans 1 verse 25. Speaking of people who reject God,
it says who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the creature more than
the creator who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause, God gave them up unto vile affections.
For even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise,
also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another,
men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense
of their error, which was me. So notice these people rejected the truth of God. They changed
the truth of God into a lie. They worship the creature more than the creator. They rejected
him. And as a result, God gave them over to do these unclean acts, these abominable things
as a punishment against them. Being a sodomite is literally a punishment from God. It is a
punishment because it's the most nasty, disgusting, vile thing you could possibly think of. And this
verse also proves that these sodomites are not born that way because it says leaving the natural
use of the woman, right? So it's like every single human being has default, you know, genetic code
that makes us act a certain way. And our default setting that we are created is for men to be
attracted to women and women to be attracted to men. And it is a supernatural punishment from God
for that to get crossed in any way. And it's the direct result of people hating God. So it's not,
oh, God still loves the sodomites. No, no, no. God gave them over to that lifestyle as a punishment
for hating him. These people hate God. Okay, go if you would to Psalm chapter number 11. You know,
that's just one of the one of the false doctrines that gives Christ a bad name. And people are
upset by this. Sometimes it can be a stumbling block for people's salvation to think, oh, you're
just saying that someone could be a pedophile and a school shooter and a mass murderer and then
just say the name of Jesus and you can believe it's like, no, these people are going to hell.
They're called reprobates. God's going to burn every single sodomite in hell. And then sometimes
they hear that they're like, oh, okay, now the gospel makes sense. Okay, how about this? Here's
another doctrine that is really maligning Christ, his character, God, his character. That is Zionism.
You know, a lot of people today are waking up to the fact that Israel is a super wicked nation,
that they are the synagogue of Satan, that they are running all pretty much all the evils in this
world. And how wicked is it for Christians to get up and say, those are God's chosen people. Those
are the really special ones that God loves the most. It's like, if that's true, it makes you
wonder what kind of God is that, that loves the pedophiles the most, and the pornography runners
the most, and the, you know, loan shark lenders the most. Look what the Bible says in Psalm 11 verse
five, "The Lord trieth the righteous, but the wicked," notice this, "and him that loveth violence,
his soul hateth." Are we on the same page here that if someone loves violence, God hates that
person's very soul. Amen. That's what the Bible says. Anyone awake right now? If you love violence,
God hates you. Okay, let's keep reading. It says, "Upon the wicked he shall reign,
snares fire and brimstone, and in horrible tempest, this shall be the portion of their cup,
for the righteous Lord loveth righteousness, his countenance doth behold the upright."
Okay, we see God's going to punish those that love violence. He hates those that love violence.
Let me tell you about the political state of Israel today is a nation that loves violence,
and that is something you've really seen come out in the news of how they're just bombing hospitals,
bombing schools, turning the Gaza Strip into a parking lot. You could go to Google satellite
images right now and you see the Gaza Strip and it's just flattened. We've all seen the videos of
all the children that are having amputations and all this horrible stuff going on. Let me tell you
something right now. God hates Israel. God hates the nation of Israel. I'm not saying that God
hates every single individual in that nation, but as a whole that nation is a violence loving nation
and God hates Israel. I'm telling you right now you ought to never align yourself with someone that
loves violence. Why would you align yourself with someone that God hates? Oh God will bless those
that bless the political nation of Israel. Are you retarded? Okay let's go to Galatians chapter
number three. You are like functionally retarded to think that Genesis 12 and other places in
Genesis is teaching that in 2026 America God is going to bless you for blessing a political state
that murders children, that indiscriminately bombs hospitals, that is full of Jews, that the Bible
says are antichrists, that they don't have the father, they don't have the son, they are blasphemers,
they are the people responsible for running the porn, running the child trafficking,
running the bad lending practices, the interest, the usury, that's God's special chosen people,
that is a retarded view, that's an evil view, makes God look bad. What does the Bible actually
say in Galatians chapter 3 verse 16? "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
He saith not, and to seeds, plural, as of many, but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ."
Right, so the Abrahamic covenant where God says, "Hey, I will make of you a great nation,
and with your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed." You really think that's talking
about the political nation of Israel. You know, how's that going right now? Man, the world is
really being blessed by Israel's war with Iran. Man, the world is really being blessed with Israel
dragging in its puppet, the United States of America, into a war with Iran. Don't you feel
blessed at the gas pump right now? Boy, oh boy, it cost me $100 to fill up my truck yesterday.
$100. Thank you, Jews. Man, I am so blessed today because of Israel. No, here's how all the nations
of the world have been blessed, through Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ has blessed every
nation. Why? Because in every nation in this world, there are those who have called upon the name of
the Lord in faith and are on their way to heaven. Boy, that's a blessing. See, on one hand, you got
pornography, wars, death, child trafficking. The other hand, you have salvation. I wonder which
one is blessing the world. It's the Lord Jesus Christ. Go if you would to 1st Thessalonians
chapter number two. 1st Thessalonians chapter number two. I am so thankful that we are seeing
a younger generation just despise this doctrine of Zionism. I've even noticed that it's kind of made
even a lot of Zionists a little quieter lately. Have anyone else noticed that? I feel like a lot
more preachers even if they do in Zionism they're kind of keeping it quiet. They're a little more
ashamed of it. They're not as loud and proud as they used to be. They're kind of hiding from it
because people are done with this crap. Now look any doctrine that's true any pastor should be able
to preach at any time regardless of what people think but here's one that's just not true is
Zionism and I'm glad that the younger generation is waking up to this and rejecting it. It's so
funny people constantly accuse us of being Zionist. It's like you don't know what church we are. It's
like do you even know what the conference that we're going to next week is? Oh you guys are Zionist.
Oh you guys are against the uh the pre-trip therefore send money to Israel. It's like what
where are you getting this logic? Look at what 1st Thessalonians 2 says in verse 14. For ye
brethren became followers of the churches of God which are which in Judea are in Christ Jesus.
For ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen even as they have of the Jews
who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and have persecuted us and they please
not God and are contrary to all men. Does that sound like God is blessing Israel, that God wants
us to love Israel? The Bible says the Jews killed Jesus and they don't please God. They don't make
God happy. God does not like them. Actually God hates them because he that loves violence his soul
hateth and notice it says and are contrary to all men. How many hundreds of countries again? They're
contrary to all men. This isn't just a an ideology that's localized to the south in the United States
or to anywhere no no they're contrary to all men and notice it says this if any man or I'm sorry
I'm on a different verse verse 16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved
right so what's the Jews goal to stop people from becoming Christians to stop people from hearing
the gospel of Jesus Christ yeah I'm pretty sure God hates a person like that because there's
nothing he cares more about than salvation and the gospel and the name of his son being proclaimed
and there's a group of people out there that want to stop people from getting saved yeah
God hates those people to fill up their sins always for the wrath has come upon them to the
uttermost God's wrath is upon the Jews today when people get up and say God bless Israel you know
what they're making Jesus look bad and of course Jesus is not actually believing that but people
think that Jesus thinks that and so it makes him look bad in that way go if you would to first
Timothy chapter number six first Timothy chapter number six we need to be zealous for the right
doctrine again and you know what that means that means that we need some preachers that are willing
to teach and preach we need some pastors that don't have this mentality that every single sermon
has to be a topical sermon no no we should teach and preach you should go through line upon line
precept upon precept not have this idea of well if people want to learn doctrine they can go to
bible college or if people want to learn doctrine they can go to sunday school here's the problem
a lot of people only will come to the main service right so we need both we need the
teaching and the preaching 1st Timothy 6 verse 1 it says let as many servants as are under the yoke
count their own masters worthy of all honor that the name of god and his doctrine be not blaspheme
hey you ought to care about doctrine because if we're not acting the way the bible says
we could be blaspheming god and his doctrine right how about servants obey your masters
when you go to work respect the boss don't talk crap about your boss don't get go behind their
back and you know try to turn people against him and your little secret meetings and stuff
like that don't try to undermine his work don't make him look bad in front of other people why
because when you do that you're actually blaspheming god and his doctrine because people
see an employee that's rebellious that doesn't listen that doesn't work hard and people say
that's christianity oh that's what bible believers are producing these days okay well then give me
the mormon give me the muslim give me the hindu or something let's not take the christian that
would be the case if christians are acting bad and they have believing masters let them not despise
them because they are brethren but rather do them service because they are faithful and beloved
partakers of the benefit these things teach and exhort it's always struck me as kind of odd that
the bible even has to say this and it's like you would think if you have a saved boss you would be
so excited and you'd be so thankful and you'd want to even do a better job and just like love
that boss even more but some people just take advantage of people's goodness and some people
can't handle you know a boss that's saved and likes them back or something like that it's like
hey if you have a saved boss don't abuse that person don't just because you're saved or because
you go to church together all of a sudden now you can't be a good worker and again i'm thinking
like why would someone do that i don't know but the bible is giving us this command because people
do that here's what i like right here in verse three if any man teach otherwise and consent not
to wholesome words even the words of our lord jesus christ and to the doctrine which is according
to godliness he is proud knowing nothing but doting about questions and stripes of words
whereof cometh envy strife railings evil surmising right so on one hand you have obey your authority
and that's going to adorn the doctrine of god that's going to make christianity look bad hey if you
don't obey your authority what's going to come of that envy strife railings evil surmising hey
here's a good doctrine we need to get fired up again obeying righteous authorities obeying the
god-given authorities in our life whether that's your boss whether that's your husband ladies
whether that's your parents children hey it's mother's day obey your mom do what your mom
tells you to do let me read for you children obey your parents in the lord for this is right
honor thy father and mother which is the first commandment with promise that it may be well with
thee and thou mayest live long on the earth kids you better do what your mom tells you to do
you better honor and respect your mother because god told you to not well does mom deserve it
first of all she brought you into this world she deserves it okay she takes care of you moms are
great moms do so much hard work behind the scene that are helping their families that are carrying
their families thank god for moms today and you know kids you ought to honor and love your mom
for the great work that they do but even if you don't think they're worthy god commanded you to
do it and if you want to die young then disobey your mom because the bible says it's the first
commandment with promise that your days would be long upon the earth if you obey your parents
god will extend your life allow you to live longer go back to numbers 25 numbers 25 number
four things we should be zealous for is number four be zealous for the people of god hey be
zealous for the house of god be zealous for right doctrine be zealous in your hatred against sin
be zealous for the people of god as well numbers 25 verse 6 i like what it says right here and
behold one of the children of israel came and brought unto his brethren a midian itish woman
notice this in the sight of moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the children
of israel who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation and when
finnehas the son of eleazar the son of erin saw it he rose up from among the congregation
and took a javelin in his hand and he went after the man of israel into the tent and thrust both
of them through the man of israel and the woman threw her belly so the plague was stayed from
the children of israel you know i think one of the things that bothered finnehas was not just the
fact that false religion was going on though that did piss him off i don't think he was just upset
because of the fornication i also think he was upset because of god's man and god's people being
disrespected because it says there that it was done in front of moses and in front of all the
people of god that is extremely disrespectful and you know today we live in this culture where
everyone wants to call everything a cult everyone's a narcissist everyone's a power tripper everyone's
a manipulator but you know we need to bring back some old-fashioned loyalty to your pastor
because you know when you don't have loyalty to your pastor you're going to cause division in the
church that's just how it works because i'm not going anywhere and so it's like if people just
despise the pastor it's going to lead to division you have to get into a church where you can be
loyal to your pastor and when you see people just disrespecting your pastor going behind their back
doing things that are wicked just brazenly sitting in front of the pastor or in front of
god's people that should make you mad that should get you fired up you should be zealous about that
and you know what let all the morons with their psycho babble call you a narcissist call you a
flying monkey i call it good old-fashioned faithfulness good old-fashioned being loyal
to god and god's man why don't you read the bible for a change go to first timothy chapter number
five first timothy chapter number five you know you should not allow people to disrespect the
men of god in your life you know when i worked for pastor shelly do you think i let people talk
crap to him about him to me no one even dared do that when i worked for pastor shelly because
they know i was loyal to him it's just not going to even happen okay and if someone did that i mean
they would be destroyed i would not sit there and allow someone to disrespect pastor shelly and
it's like guess what you should do that no matter what church you're in if you're in a church with
a good man of god hey a good baptist church respect your man of god whoever that is wherever that is
wherever you end up someday you know what respect and back up the preacher look what it says in first
75 verse 1 it says this rebuke not an elder but entreat him as a father and the younger men as
brethren the bible commands us not to rebuke a pastor it is a sin to rebuke a pastor and when
you see people rebuking pastors that person needs to be rebuked that person needs to be corrected
this does not say you can never bring an issue to a pastor this doesn't say you can't talk to him
this kid this doesn't say if you're upset about something you can't go to him look i would prefer
people to come to me respectfully if they have any issues then to not come to me and actually have
issues that would bother me but here's the thing what's off the off the table is rebuking a pastor
that's wrong don't go online and be a loud mouth rebuking other pastors even pastors you don't
like i am not for people rebuking pastors that they don't like don't do that don't rebuke an
elder what else does it say in verse 17 go to first timothy five first timothy five look at
verse 17 it says let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor especially they who
labor in the word and doctrine hey let them be counted worthy of double honor the bible says to
esteem them very highly in love for their works sake look our world is not just filled to the brim
with people who are qualified to pastor that are on fire for souls that really want to stick up
for the word of god that want to reach their communities for christ there's not just millions
and millions of these people right here so whoever your pastor is wherever you go to church someday
you know love your pastor esteem them highly in love count them worthy of of double honor
and you know what this idea of this man just bringing in his girlfriend in front of moses
and all it means how disrespectful is that you know and again you kind of see this on a more
micro level today where it's like hey you know if you're if your pastor preaches something
don't get up on a man's preaching night and preach against what your pastor preaches
i'm not no one has ever done that i'm just telling you like that would obviously be extremely
disrespectful you know you get up at the men's preaching night you preach against the pastor
that's not respectful look if any of you guys ever get to go to another church and guest preach
you know you ought to thank the pastor for the opportunity to preach you ought to be there to
back him up to you know embolden him help people to be loving towards him to knit their hearts
unto him don't come to his church and like undermine him and i i've been told that a
pastor came here and did that and that pastor shelly allowed a guest pastor to come here years
ago who ended up becoming one of these new ifb bozos that basically sat here and just like vague
preached against him at his own church that's wicked like hey you know if you can't respect
the man of god then go find a man of god that you can respect okay hey if there's something that you
disagree with that's preached don't go around telling everyone your view and proselytizing
your view trying to convince people to your view right if there's something that's preached that
the church believes in and you just go online and you just flaunt how much you just disrespect that
idea you know it's just rude and there should be a certain level of respect and fear of the house
of god and god's people and god's man that it's like you know for example and again i haven't
seen people in this church do this i have seen other people do this where it's like the pastor
preaches hey men dress like men women dress like women and it's like dressing you know posting
pictures of yourself all immodest flaunting your body like a hoe that's disrespectful that is not
you know that's being a stumbling block to other people in the church because they say oh you know
that this church could just be defied no problem just defy god's man defy the church you know what
be careful that kind of stuff because what happened to the man who just brazenly sinned
screw moses screw god's people i'm gonna take this babe in to the tent or whatever he got wrecked he
got human shish kebab and when you're just a brazen person like that hey there there's a brazen
punishment coming for you and so humble yourself have a fear of god have a love of god in your
heart so you don't have to go down this road because look at what it says in verse 20 says
them that sin rebuke before all that others also may fear right sometimes there can come a point
where someone's just causing so much division they're being so disrespectful that they're
going to end up getting called out publicly and it's like that's not fun but sometimes that has
to happen in a church so that other people will fear because you cannot have a church where people
think they could just defy the pastor and disrespect the past it doesn't work like that
do you think you could have a home where children could just defy their father how would you like
that to live in a home like that where kids just feel like they could just defy their father defy
their mother that's going to be a nightmare you know one of the problems today with modern-day
workplaces is that we've kind of enabled employees to just defy their boss i see this all the time
just employees could just defy their boss they could disrespect their boss they could just literally
just not do their job for months on end and nothing ever happens and it's it causes the
workplace to be a nightmare for people who are good people who are good workers and you know who
i care about in church people who are good you know who i care about making anchor baptist church
a good church for people who like anchor baptist church who want to be loyal to anchor baptist
church not for someone who would want to come in here and just usurp everything no that type
of person can just kick rocks go if you would mark chapter number 16 mark chapter number 16
we don't have time to go through the whole thing this morning but first corinthians five
gives us a clear example of what i'm talking about this morning okay this is the line okay if
you're just fornicating openly in church you're you're drunkard you're a railer you're extortioner
you're an idolater it's like okay that person has to get kicked out of the congregation that
person has to be taken out why because a little levin levineth the whole lump it affects everyone
oh my sin doesn't affect anyone really how about the 24 000 people that were killed by god in one
day for fornication oh my sin doesn't affect anyone you're a part of your of the church here
no man lives unto himself no man dies unto himself no man is on an island here we all do affect each
other number five last point this is most important one be zealous for soul winning be zealous for
soul winning please hear me on this one mark 16 verse 15 and he said unto them go ye into all the
world and preach the gospel to every creature you know finnehas was zealous enough to run at some
sinners with a spear why don't we run at some sinners with the gospel why don't we hold forth
the word of life and be zealous to preach the gospel to every creature because you know what
one man's zeal stayed the plague for tons of other people and it just takes one soul winner
to stay the plague of hell for them and for their family and for their neighborhood their apartment
their city you know we need some people today that are zealous enough to go zealous enough to
go why go to roman's chapter number 10 roman's chapter number 10 you know these stories in the
old testament they're written for our admonition and you know we should be spiritualizing these
stories because something like this this exact situation is probably never going to happen i
hope it never happens to you that'd be a weird situation okay but here's the thing what we can
look at is we could say wow all these people have the wrath of god on them there's a plague that's
destroying them and we see one man with zeal goes and stops the plague just like how one soul winner
can do the exact same thing roman chapter 10 verse 13 for whosoever shall call upon the name of the
lord shall be saved how then shall they call on him whom they have not believed and how shall they
believe in him of whom they have not heard and how shall they hear without a preacher look don't
listen to these lazy do-nothings that constantly tax soul winning you know spencer smith stacy
shiflett oh screen door evangelism you're not getting anyone saved no you're not getting anyone
saved buddy because you're not saved because you preach a repent of your sins false gospel and
you're on your way to hell you know we're actually saved here and the bible says how shall they hear
without a preacher you gotta go you gotta go to them by the way and not just hope they come to you
right hey we as soul winners we go find them there's a young man yesterday yesterday that
got saved named kleon he believed in the lord jesus christ he got saved he's now going to heaven
if we didn't go yesterday he would not be saved do you realize that this isn't calvinism we actually
make an effect in this world we actually rescue people boy the orthodox people hate when you say
that you got someone saved the bible uses that terminology and if some have compassion and others
save with fear pulling them out of the fire hating even the garment spotted by the flesh
i am become all things that by i might that i may by all means save some right hey the fruit of the
righteous is a tree of life and he that winneth souls is wise yes you can get someone saved and
if you have the zeal to go you will get someone saved go to psalm 126 psalm 126 we need people
that are zealous enough to go and we need people who are zealous as they go please you know i i
don't know about you i don't go soul winning as a walking exercise okay i don't go soul winning
because i really want to visit the ghetto i go soul winning because i want to get someone saved
and you know yesterday i was frustrated because the first two places we went to at least for me
personally sucked and i'm just like let's just keep going let's just go find that other apartment
let's go over here let's go find this guy and we finally found a guy because i'm not there to just
walk around and do nothing it's like i want to get someone saved notice the zeal here in psalm 126
verse 5 they that sow in tears shall reap in joy he that goeth forth and weepeth bearing precious
seed shall doubtless come again with rejoicing bringing his sheaves with him notice god blesses
with the reaping a soul winner who cares a soul winner who has zeal why because he goes forth
weeping what does that show he cares for lost souls he wants people to get saved right and
it says there he that goeth forth and weepeth bearing precious seed shall doubtless come
again with rejoicing bringing his sheaves with him it's like i preached last week does god want
people to get saved yes so if you want people to get saved god's going to use you to get people
saved i mean if you're if you care if you have zeal if you pray to god and ask him lord please
help me to get people saved lord please lead me to people that want to get saved lord i don't want
to go out here and just do a vain exercise i want to get people saved you will come back with
rejoicing maybe not every single time you go soul winning but i'm telling you god wants to use you
as a soul winner but we need some people today with some zeal that want to go and some people
that while they're there want to be there and look sometimes we have hard weeks we're dealing
with personal stuff but when you go soul winning you got to lock in you got to pray and get your
mind focused on what you're doing hey i'm an ambassador for christ right now all my problems
can just go away they'll be there when i get back right now i'm a preacher of the gospel of
jesus christ i'm here to get people saved i'm focused on this door i'm focused on my partner
hey i had a good soul winning partner yesterday because my kids were screaming and fighting
and thank you brother cameron he was there he was focused and you know because of that i was able
to get someone safe we need to be there be present be caring go to second Corinthians chapter five
second Corinthians chapter number five second Corinthians chapter number five look at verse
11 it says knowing therefore the terror of the lord we persuade men but we are made manifest
unto god and i trust also are made manifest in your consciences i like that word persuade
because it's that that implies that you're trying to convince people you're trying to get people
saved you really want this person to get it and you're going to put in the work and the effort and
the energy to preach things in a way that this person can grasp and overcome their issues and
their hang-ups and you know you don't want to give up early you're there to persuade that person
you know you care you're there you want to get people saved look i understand that it is true
that we are just a messenger of the gospel your personality can't get anyone saved okay your your
great flowery speech is not what the power is the power is in the gospel of jesus christ
you that you are there as a messenger to relay the gospel but you know you could do it in a
persuasive way you could do it in a way that shows that you care you could do it in a way
that shows that you've got some zeal because people can pick up on that and look let's just
be honest we've all been there where we've had a little bit of a down week and we kind of just
dragged ourselves out soul winning and look if that's you keep dragging yourself out soul winning
but you know you should start praying that you'd feel it too that you'd be excited to go that you
want to go that that you're actually hoping someone answers the door and you're hoping someone tells
you yes you know let's be honest we've all had those 110 especially back in texas days where they
say yes you're like all right here we go i'm going to do it right but you know what most of the time
though in all sincerity i want to be there i want to preach to that person i want them to answer
i want to persuade them we need to go with some zeal go to ephesians chapter number six ephesians
chapter number six and i'll tell you what what is going to make the difference in this as your
soul winning is your prayer life why because folks soul winning is a spiritual activity it is
it's not a carnal activity it's not about flowery speech it's not about your cute little analogies
you know soul winning is a spiritual activity and if you desire to get lots of people safe here's
what you should do you should pray every single day asking god to give you boldness to fill you
with power of the holy spirit to lead people into your life that need the gospel to lead you to
people who are receptive hey we always pray that that's not a vain repetition we're asking that
god would lead us to people who are receptive look at ephesians 6 verse 18 praying always with all
prayer and supplication in the spirit and watching there into with all perseverance and supplication
for all saints and for me that utterance may be given unto me that i may open my mouth boldly
to make known the mystery of the gospel for which i'm an ambassador in bonds that therein i may speak
boldly as i ought to speak you know that tells me if the apostle paul needs prayer for boldness
then so do i right if the apostle paul says i need you to pray for me that i will open my mouth
boldly then you know what you need that same prayer so you should be praying that for yourself
and for others because hey we can all get shy we can all get introverted we can all
get in the flesh but you know when we go soul-winning we want to be bold hey we are
ambassadors of the king of this universe we have the truth hey they're the ones believing the lie
oh the person's gonna make fun of me okay that person's going to hell who cares
they're gonna laugh at me they're gonna make fun of me okay but you're saved you're at least saved
you're right at the end of the day don't worry about you know getting your feelings hurt people
rejecting you you know what they're rejecting christ is who they're rejecting but you go out
there boldly and if you talk to someone it's hey we're from anchor baptist church right hey we want
to invite you to our church if you were to die today are you 100 sure you're going to heaven
not trying to like hey hide where you're from or shamed or or be kind of scared go out there with
some boldness you have the truth you have the word of god on your side you have the holy spirit of
god with you the lord jesus christ said he'll be with us until the ends of the earth preaching the
gospel speak boldly go to titus chapter number two titus chapter number two i already quoted this
but jude verse 22 says and if some have compassion making a difference you know what that is care you
see someone you actually care that they're lost and you actually talk to them like they're a real
person that's on their way to hell and that actually bothers you that they're not saved
and others save with fear pulling them out of the fire other people you got to get a little more
tough with i think our default should be compassion and kindness but sometimes you got to ramp that up
to fear tidus chapter number two verse 11 the bible says for the grace of god that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts
we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world looking for that blessed hope
and the glorious appearing of the great god and our savior jesus christ who gave himself for us
that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a peculiar people zealous
of good works these things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority let no man despise thee
you know why we're still here after we're saved is because god wants us to be a people that is
separated unto good works and to be zealous for good works hey god does not care about you being
zealous for your golf or your baseball or your college football or your vacations or your video
games that's not why he saved us he wants us to be zealous for good works so we got a couple these
things zeal zeal for the right things what do we need zealous for hating sin zealous for the house
of god zealous for right doctrine zealous for the people of god zealous for souls let's pray lord
thank you so much for your word and i pray that these things would sink into our hearts that you
would help us to be filled with the holy spirit of god that you give us power in our preaching of
the gospel help us to be zealous for all the things that you want us to be zealous for and
we love it we love you in jesus name we pray amen that's him this morning 364 364 standing on the
promises 364 364 sing with some zeal this morning 364 there on the first
