I want to look here at verse number 13. 19:42.500 --> 19:44.500 The Bible says, 19:51.500 --> 19:54.500 And what I was thinking about with this particular verse 19:54.500 --> 19:57.500 is how this particular individual is kind of making up 19:57.500 --> 20:00.500 this narrative, is making up some kind of a crazy wild story 20:00.500 --> 20:03.500 to excuse his own laziness. 20:03.500 --> 20:05.500 You notice that the Bible is saying, 20:05.500 --> 20:07.500 The slothful man saith. 20:07.500 --> 20:10.500 So it's not saying everybody makes this particular excuse, 20:10.500 --> 20:13.500 but the slothful man makes this excuse. 20:13.500 --> 20:17.500 Now, if you think about this excuse, if true, 20:17.500 --> 20:21.500 it's a pretty reasonable thing to not go into the street. 20:21.500 --> 20:24.500 I mean, if your boss was like, why are you late to work today? 20:24.500 --> 20:27.500 Well, there was a line in my front yard. 20:27.500 --> 20:30.500 Would be a pretty legitimate excuse for that particular day, right? 20:30.500 --> 20:33.500 But, and again, he's using this example 20:33.500 --> 20:36.500 because it would be a legitimate excuse. 20:36.500 --> 20:39.500 But here's the problem. It's kind of crazy. 20:39.500 --> 20:42.500 It's wild. It's not very realistic. 20:42.500 --> 20:44.500 It's not going to happen. 20:44.500 --> 20:47.500 And even if that was the case, though, 20:47.500 --> 20:50.500 let's just say hypothetically there was really a line in the street. 20:50.500 --> 20:53.500 In today's world, you know, you could probably call the cops 20:53.500 --> 20:55.500 the cops. 20:55.500 --> 20:58.500 In today's world, you know, you could probably call the cops 20:58.500 --> 21:00.500 or animal control. 21:00.500 --> 21:02.500 But, you know, put yourself in the proverb story. 21:02.500 --> 21:04.500 There wasn't any cops to call. 21:04.500 --> 21:06.500 There wasn't anybody to call. 21:06.500 --> 21:08.500 So like, if you wanted to defend you or your family, 21:08.500 --> 21:11.500 you'd probably have to still deal with that situation. 21:11.500 --> 21:14.500 Even if that was the case, you would have to go in the street. 21:14.500 --> 21:17.500 At least shoo him off, kill him, something, 21:17.500 --> 21:20.500 because you wouldn't want to allow that lion to terrorize your cattle, 21:20.500 --> 21:23.500 your livestock, your family, your children, 21:23.500 --> 21:25.500 and you'd have to deal with that particular situation. 21:25.500 --> 21:28.500 So again, it's painting this person as being slothful. 21:28.500 --> 21:32.500 But what I thought kind of relates to this particular situation 21:32.500 --> 21:36.500 or this particular verse is just that of conspiracy theories in general 21:36.500 --> 21:40.500 and how sometimes people, they start to believe things 21:40.500 --> 21:44.500 or go overboard, and it's kind of a result of being lazy. 21:44.500 --> 21:47.500 It's kind of a result of being a sluggard 21:47.500 --> 21:50.500 that they kind of invent all these narratives 21:50.500 --> 21:52.500 and all these ideas out there. 21:52.500 --> 21:56.500 It's just a way to excuse their own laziness or slothfulness. 21:56.500 --> 22:00.500 And so I have a sermon this evening, it's called Conspiracy Crazy. 22:00.500 --> 22:03.500 It's called Conspiracy Crazy. 22:03.500 --> 22:08.500 Now, I'm going to give a caveat before I breeze the sermon, all right? 22:08.500 --> 22:11.500 I'm not picking on anybody, okay? 22:11.500 --> 22:15.500 I am sure that I will bring up some conspiracy theory 22:15.500 --> 22:18.500 that you're like, oh, Pastor Shirley doesn't know the truth about that 22:18.500 --> 22:22.500 or a pastor Shirley doesn't understand or something or whatever. 22:22.500 --> 22:25.500 And look, I'm not preaching this sermon 22:25.500 --> 22:28.500 because I don't think there's some legitimate conspiracy theories. 22:28.500 --> 22:31.500 There are. I'm not saying that there isn't some nefarious things 22:31.500 --> 22:33.500 going on in this world. There is. 22:33.500 --> 22:35.500 I'm not saying that we shouldn't be skeptical. 22:35.500 --> 22:37.500 Of course, we should be skeptical. 22:37.500 --> 22:42.500 And I think that our group does a very good job of already being skeptical. 22:42.500 --> 22:47.500 I think that our church specifically already is very awake, you know, 22:47.500 --> 22:51.500 we're very enlightened. We really kind of have an idea of what's going on. 22:51.500 --> 22:56.500 We probably, if anything, venture on sometimes going a little overboard 22:56.500 --> 23:00.500 than we do not necessarily embracing certain narratives, okay? 23:00.500 --> 23:04.500 And so, you know, I want us to be careful because I think sometimes 23:04.500 --> 23:09.500 what can happen is people through laziness end up believing 23:09.500 --> 23:13.500 or getting sucked into some really over the top 23:13.500 --> 23:18.500 or crazy, weird conspiracy ideas and thoughts and stuff like that. 23:18.500 --> 23:23.500 And often it's coming from laziness, coming from being slothful. 23:23.500 --> 23:26.500 If we keep reading, it says here in verse number 14, 23:26.500 --> 23:30.500 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so did the slothful upon his bed. 23:30.500 --> 23:33.500 The slothful hideeth his hand in his bosom. 23:33.500 --> 23:35.500 It grieveeth him to bring it to his mouth. 23:35.500 --> 23:38.500 I mean, it's painting this picture of this guy. 23:39.500 --> 23:43.500 He's so lazy. He's so slothful that he's not even, 23:43.500 --> 23:46.500 he doesn't even want to be able to pick his arm up to feed himself. 23:46.500 --> 23:48.500 It's kind of the picture that's being painted. 23:48.500 --> 23:53.500 It's someone that's just going to make an excuse for every single situation, 23:53.500 --> 23:55.500 an excuse for every single reason. 23:55.500 --> 23:59.500 Go back to chapter 22, go to chapter 22, verse 13, 23:59.500 --> 24:03.500 Proverbs 22, verse number 13. 24:04.500 --> 24:09.500 And the Bible says, The slothful man saith, 24:09.500 --> 24:15.500 There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets. 24:15.500 --> 24:17.500 So there's this lion. 24:17.500 --> 24:20.500 And again, I'm not mad at anybody. 24:20.500 --> 24:22.500 I'm not trying to pick on anybody. 24:22.500 --> 24:26.500 And obviously, when it comes to certain issues, we press really hard on them. 24:26.500 --> 24:31.500 I was thinking about, we say the Pledge of Allegiance, 24:31.500 --> 24:34.500 are we seeing our national anthem or any of those kind of things? 24:34.500 --> 24:37.500 We're talking about the land of the free and the home of the brave. 24:37.500 --> 24:39.500 I think we should be brave. 24:39.500 --> 24:41.500 We shouldn't be cowards to the lions out there. 24:41.500 --> 24:45.500 If there really is a lion, we should face that foe and go out there. 24:45.500 --> 24:47.500 We shouldn't be the slothful man. 24:47.500 --> 24:49.500 But let's talk about the Jews for a moment. 24:49.500 --> 24:50.500 All right. 24:50.500 --> 24:51.500 But let's talk about this. 24:51.500 --> 24:56.500 There is an attitude in our country, there's an attitude in our world right now 24:56.500 --> 25:02.500 that says the Jews control our world and they've ruined it. 25:02.500 --> 25:06.500 And so there's no point in even trying anymore. 25:06.500 --> 25:10.500 Basically, this apathetic attitude out there that acts like, 25:10.500 --> 25:12.500 oh, what's the point in getting a job? 25:12.500 --> 25:14.500 The Jews are going to control me. 25:14.500 --> 25:16.500 Every job is controlled by the Jews. 25:16.500 --> 25:19.500 And I can't buy a house because Jews. 25:19.500 --> 25:22.500 And I can't work out because Jews. 25:22.500 --> 25:25.500 And I can't be healthy because Jews. 25:25.500 --> 25:30.500 And I can't get a girlfriend because Jews. 25:30.500 --> 25:34.500 I can't get married because Jews. 25:34.500 --> 25:35.500 Right? 25:35.500 --> 25:38.500 I can't do the things that I want because Jews. 25:38.500 --> 25:43.500 And look, hey, I'm having an anti-Israel conference, okay? 25:43.500 --> 25:47.500 I believe that the nation of Israel has problems. 25:47.500 --> 25:52.500 I believe that, hey, our banks are obviously controlled by a certain group of people. 25:52.500 --> 25:53.500 Right? 25:53.500 --> 25:59.500 I get that there can be some legitimacy to some conspiracy theories out there. 25:59.500 --> 26:00.500 Like, here's a fact. 26:00.500 --> 26:04.500 I know there's really lions in the world. 26:04.500 --> 26:09.500 Is the point of this parable saying lions don't exist? 26:09.500 --> 26:12.500 Is the point of this parable saying lions aren't a real threat? 26:12.500 --> 26:13.500 No, no. 26:13.500 --> 26:14.500 Lions really exist. 26:14.500 --> 26:16.500 Lions are a real threat. 26:16.500 --> 26:20.500 The fact that it's in your front yard are going to kill you is what's fake. 26:20.500 --> 26:21.500 Okay? 26:21.500 --> 26:26.500 You know, when you show up and awkwardly just walk up to a girl and you're just like, 26:26.500 --> 26:30.500 have a husband, and then they're just like, no, that wasn't the Jews' fault. 26:30.500 --> 26:31.500 Okay? 26:31.500 --> 26:37.500 You not working out, you not having money and doing these things is not the Jews' fault. 26:37.500 --> 26:42.500 And what can end up happening is you go overboard on this conspiracy theory, 26:42.500 --> 26:46.500 and what you're doing is you're using that to get the money. 26:47.500 --> 26:49.500 It's your own laziness. 26:49.500 --> 26:51.500 It's your own slothfulness. 26:51.500 --> 26:53.500 It's just your problem. 26:53.500 --> 26:56.500 And you're not actually addressing the issue. 26:56.500 --> 26:59.500 And look, even if there really was a lion in the street, 26:59.500 --> 27:01.500 wouldn't you say, okay, I'm going to get my gun 27:01.500 --> 27:04.500 and I'm going to shoot the lion in the face or whatever? 27:04.500 --> 27:05.500 Okay? 27:05.500 --> 27:07.500 I'm going to at least take it to task. 27:07.500 --> 27:09.500 I'm going to face the foe. 27:09.500 --> 27:10.500 I'm going to be like David. 27:10.500 --> 27:13.500 I'm going to see how different things work with leaders and dear citizens 27:13.500 --> 27:18.500 to face the foe, I'm going to be like David, I'm going to face Goliath. 27:18.500 --> 27:20.820 What is David's reaction to the lion? 27:20.820 --> 27:25.680 The Bible says that he grabbed him by his beard and he smote him and he killed him. 27:25.680 --> 27:27.440 What is David's reaction to the bear? 27:27.440 --> 27:30.980 He did the same thing to the bear and then he did the same thing to the Philistine. 27:30.980 --> 27:37.800 If we could have men like David facing real Goliath in his life, how cannot we face whatever 27:37.800 --> 27:43.300 foes and Goliaths and whatever oppositions that we have in this world as well? 27:43.300 --> 27:50.020 And in many cases, I think that it's legitimate to say you're your own worst enemy, not the 27:50.020 --> 27:51.940 Jews, not other people. 27:51.940 --> 27:54.800 And look, we should address problems in our society. 27:54.800 --> 27:58.140 But I've heard this said, it's true, it's like the Jew didn't make you get a payday 27:58.140 --> 28:00.400 loan. 28:00.400 --> 28:02.860 The Jew's not the one forcing you to not work out. 28:02.860 --> 28:06.140 The Jew's not the one forcing you to make bad decisions and sin. 28:06.140 --> 28:09.460 In many cases, it's us causing ourselves to sin. 28:09.460 --> 28:12.660 Now whether they're making it easy or not, yeah, we could talk about that. 28:12.660 --> 28:14.500 I'm not saying there isn't legitimate criticisms. 28:14.500 --> 28:17.420 I'm not saying that I don't believe in conspiracies. 28:17.420 --> 28:22.340 What I am saying is that, hey, a lot of times it's people just excusing their own laziness. 28:22.340 --> 28:25.340 That's what this proverb is bringing up and that's what I'm seeing in our society and 28:25.340 --> 28:26.340 our world today. 28:26.340 --> 28:27.340 And you know what? 28:27.340 --> 28:32.420 Don't allow yourself to get sucked into this apathetic attitude where you're not willing 28:32.420 --> 28:37.860 to fix yourself because economy bad, because Jews, because whatever. 28:37.860 --> 28:41.400 You know, in some cases, being a man is just dealing with issues. 28:41.400 --> 28:45.800 In some cases, being a man is just going out and working hard, addressing issues, fixing 28:45.800 --> 28:51.000 problems in your life instead of just always being, woe is me, or there's just everyone's 28:51.000 --> 28:52.560 out to get me. 28:52.560 --> 28:54.280 I can't really succeed. 28:54.280 --> 28:55.520 I don't have any hope. 28:55.520 --> 28:59.840 There's just a lion, you know, causing me to not be successful. 28:59.840 --> 29:04.480 You know, many cases, you're being lazy, you being slothful, you being a sluggard is the 29:04.480 --> 29:05.480 real problem. 29:06.480 --> 29:14.160 Go to Proverbs chapter 14. 29:14.160 --> 29:16.440 Now I'm just trying to prove a couple of biblical points. 29:16.440 --> 29:19.720 I'll make a little application at the end, but number one, a lot of times people get 29:19.720 --> 29:21.080 into conspiracies because they're lazy. 29:21.080 --> 29:24.920 And let's just be honest, when you're lazy, you're just rolling around in your bed and 29:24.920 --> 29:27.680 then you're rolling around in your bed watching YouTube. 29:27.680 --> 29:32.720 And here's the thing about YouTube, it already censored all the good conspiracy theories. 29:32.720 --> 29:35.760 So what's left is trash in many cases. 29:35.760 --> 29:37.320 What's left over on YouTube. 29:37.320 --> 29:43.380 If you're doing, quote, research on YouTube now, it's bad research, okay? 29:43.380 --> 29:48.240 Because in many cases, most of the things left on YouTube are PC, they're politically 29:48.240 --> 29:54.240 correct, they're watered down, they're confused, they're propagandized. 29:54.240 --> 29:58.240 Like they already left all the trash on YouTube. 29:58.240 --> 30:00.020 All the good stuff left it. 30:00.020 --> 30:04.220 But then the people say, oh, I saw this documentary on YouTube, blah, blah, blah. 30:04.220 --> 30:10.300 It's just like, you know, people don't get rich watching YouTube. 30:10.300 --> 30:14.980 You know, people get rich making videos on YouTube, making videos for YouTube. 30:14.980 --> 30:17.020 Some people get rich working hard. 30:17.020 --> 30:21.900 You know, people really, you don't get money by just watching things. 30:21.900 --> 30:24.980 I don't have never, there's not a professional watcher. 30:24.980 --> 30:28.060 I'm a professional YouTube watcher. 30:28.100 --> 30:33.340 And here's the thing, even if you could find out every conspiracy theory that exists, you 30:33.340 --> 30:36.300 could find every secret detail. 30:36.300 --> 30:40.460 You have every single one of Jeffrey Epstein's files. 30:40.460 --> 30:42.420 How will that help you in your life? 30:42.420 --> 30:48.180 In fact, if you actually had Jeffrey Epstein's files list, you're probably going to die. 30:48.180 --> 30:50.860 You're probably like, do you stay away from me? 30:50.860 --> 30:54.340 Because I don't want the FBI to come, you know, knock on my door or whatever. 30:54.340 --> 30:56.500 You're going to be Hillary Clinton or something. 30:56.500 --> 30:57.500 You know what I mean? 30:57.500 --> 31:01.900 You don't want to have this kind of information anyways. 31:01.900 --> 31:06.820 Doesn't the Bible say that we should be simple concerning that which is evil? 31:06.820 --> 31:13.780 So why is it so beneficial to understand every dark secret that exists? 31:13.780 --> 31:16.820 Now again, I'm not saying that we should ignore truth. 31:16.820 --> 31:18.820 I'm not saying that we shouldn't expose evil. 31:18.820 --> 31:20.980 I'm not saying that I'm against conspiracy theories. 31:20.980 --> 31:24.780 But at the end of the day, a lot of people, they're just wasting so much time, effort, 31:25.260 --> 31:30.940 and of their life chasing conspiracy theories when even if they had to shoot, they can't 31:30.940 --> 31:31.940 even do anything with it. 31:31.940 --> 31:36.260 It's like, what are you going to do with that information now that you even have it? 31:36.260 --> 31:38.740 And it's really, it's a result of laziness. 31:38.740 --> 31:41.500 You're being lazy instead of just going and working and making money. 31:41.500 --> 31:45.860 You're just watching videos all day, watching videos all day, listening to conspiracy theories 31:45.860 --> 31:46.860 all day. 31:46.860 --> 31:47.860 Is it going to help you? 31:47.860 --> 31:48.860 Is it going to benefit you? 31:48.860 --> 31:54.020 You know, according to Alex Jones, it's going to be his last broadcast for the last 20 years. 31:54.020 --> 32:01.940 How many people bought storable food from Alex Jones 10 years ago? 32:01.940 --> 32:04.180 Is it even good anymore? 32:04.180 --> 32:08.780 Like you might, like once you hit the expiration date on the Alex Jones storable food, you 32:08.780 --> 32:10.540 know, you've crossed a Rubicon. 32:10.540 --> 32:11.540 Okay. 32:11.540 --> 32:13.500 Now again, does that mean there won't be an end times? 32:13.500 --> 32:14.500 Yes, there will be an end times. 32:14.500 --> 32:18.020 Does that mean that, you know, self preservation is a bad principle? 32:18.020 --> 32:20.500 No, it's a pretty good principle in general. 32:20.500 --> 32:23.820 But in many cases, people go way overboard. 32:23.820 --> 32:27.940 They build the bunkers and they get all the storable food and they're just afraid of 32:27.940 --> 32:31.060 everything and they're wearing the tin foil hat. 32:31.060 --> 32:34.460 And you know, in some cases, this is real. 32:34.460 --> 32:38.940 And unfortunately, our circle being concerned with the truth and being more conspiratorial 32:38.940 --> 32:42.620 can get sucked into the stuff more easily, attract that kind of stuff. 32:42.620 --> 32:44.260 And we want to try and stay normal. 32:44.260 --> 32:45.260 Okay. 32:45.260 --> 32:47.780 And even if you don't want to be normal, just act normal. 32:47.780 --> 32:48.780 Okay. 32:48.780 --> 32:49.780 Just fake it. 32:49.780 --> 32:50.780 All right. 32:50.780 --> 32:51.780 Around us at least. 32:51.940 --> 32:54.980 Hey, you know, why don't you at least just work, work hard. 32:54.980 --> 32:57.260 Hey, this is not going to help you in the career. 32:57.260 --> 32:59.000 It's not going to help you in the workplace. 32:59.000 --> 33:01.500 You start bringing up all this weird stuff to your boss. 33:01.500 --> 33:02.580 You might get fired. 33:02.580 --> 33:04.260 They're not going to want to promote you. 33:04.260 --> 33:06.420 You know, you should be careful with this kind of stuff. 33:06.420 --> 33:07.420 Okay. 33:07.420 --> 33:09.900 Because at the end of the day, you have to you have to understand that not all things 33:09.900 --> 33:13.440 that are true are expedient. 33:13.440 --> 33:17.720 Not all things that are true are expedient, meaning it's going to really help you or be 33:17.720 --> 33:19.820 beneficial to you in your life. 33:19.860 --> 33:26.860 And so I'm just trying to caution you that maybe you're in pursuit of the truth. 33:26.860 --> 33:32.780 Your pursuit of knowledge in these conspiracies is kind of fueling you to continue being lazy 33:32.780 --> 33:37.140 instead of why don't you spend that much time researching some career? 33:37.140 --> 33:41.540 Why don't you spend that much time researching the market and investments or spending that 33:41.540 --> 33:46.140 much time learning a skill or getting a job or just literally working? 33:46.140 --> 33:47.140 Oh, man. 33:47.140 --> 33:49.540 I just, you know, I can't get ahead. 33:49.940 --> 33:53.580 Because I have to spend 20 hours a week researching Jews. 33:53.580 --> 34:00.060 And it's just like, what if you spend 20 hours a week doing a side hustle or a side job or 34:00.060 --> 34:04.820 starting a side business or getting skills or learning a foreign language or doing something 34:04.820 --> 34:05.820 with your life? 34:05.820 --> 34:10.620 You know, maybe maybe your life is going downhill because or spend 20 hours a week looking for 34:10.620 --> 34:11.620 a girlfriend. 34:13.740 --> 34:17.420 I mean, you know, put some real hours in, you know what I mean? 34:17.420 --> 34:21.420 I'm just telling you, like a lot of times people are complaining about stuff and just 34:21.420 --> 34:25.100 thinking like, you know, am I just because you're kind of being lazy here? 34:25.100 --> 34:26.740 That could be a real, real, real problem. 34:26.740 --> 34:30.900 Here's the second problem is just being being kind of ignorant. 34:30.900 --> 34:36.340 The Bible says in Proverbs 14, look at verse 15, the simple believe of every word, but 34:36.340 --> 34:38.860 the prudent man look at wealth to his going. 34:38.860 --> 34:44.260 I think a lot of people get sucked into conspiracy theories because they're simply ignorant or 34:44.260 --> 34:46.460 they're very simple minded. 34:46.500 --> 34:48.420 Many of they don't know a lot. 34:48.420 --> 34:50.180 They're not very sophisticated. 34:50.180 --> 34:57.820 You know, a lot of people that have studied engineering, building construction, are been 34:57.820 --> 35:00.540 heavily involved in demolition. 35:00.540 --> 35:03.700 They didn't fall for the building seven narrative. 35:03.700 --> 35:04.900 You want to know why? 35:04.900 --> 35:11.060 Because they're very skilled, very knowledgeable about building instructions, steel frames, 35:11.060 --> 35:16.980 temperatures at which things melt, how office fires can't take down a 47 story skyscraper 35:16.980 --> 35:17.980 in seven seconds. 35:17.980 --> 35:22.100 I mean, they're just not going to fall for that kind of a narrative because they just 35:22.100 --> 35:26.780 know about they have a lot of knowledge in this subject. 35:26.780 --> 35:29.860 And then there's people that they don't they're not good at math. 35:29.860 --> 35:30.860 Don't admit you. 35:30.860 --> 35:31.860 I'm not good at math. 35:31.860 --> 35:33.740 I'm not good at science. 35:33.740 --> 35:34.980 I didn't study much. 35:34.980 --> 35:36.580 I don't read much. 35:36.580 --> 35:41.700 And then they'll try to lecture me on how the moon landing is fake. 35:41.700 --> 35:44.940 And I'm just thinking like, well, OK, what's your point? 35:44.940 --> 35:48.660 Like point one, the Van Allen radiation belts. 35:48.660 --> 35:51.780 And I'm just like, OK, how did you hear about that? 35:51.780 --> 35:54.220 Well, NASA told me about it. 35:54.220 --> 35:56.980 It's like, OK. 35:56.980 --> 36:01.420 Why if they're going to have this conspiracy theory, why would they tell you about their 36:01.420 --> 36:04.660 problem that you wouldn't have known on your you didn't research it. 36:04.660 --> 36:05.660 You didn't find it out. 36:05.740 --> 36:09.660 You didn't discover the Van Allen radiation belts. 36:09.660 --> 36:14.140 But the reason why is because they told me that this is a problem and then how they solved 36:14.140 --> 36:15.140 it. 36:15.140 --> 36:17.780 And then now all of a sudden, I think they can't solve that problem. 36:17.780 --> 36:20.400 You don't even understand the problem in the first place. 36:20.400 --> 36:24.860 You couldn't even explain to me how much radio radiation exposure they're getting. 36:24.860 --> 36:29.020 You couldn't tell me what that does to the body physiologically. 36:29.020 --> 36:31.240 You can't tell me how much time they're spending. 36:31.240 --> 36:34.980 You can't tell me the exact duration, the speed at which they're traveling, how much 36:34.980 --> 36:38.260 shielding they have on their particular spacecraft. 36:38.260 --> 36:40.660 But you can just tell me it's impossible to pass through. 36:40.660 --> 36:44.780 And look, you talk to every one of these guys and they'll say it's impossible to get through 36:44.780 --> 36:47.900 the Van Allen radiation belt. 36:47.900 --> 36:51.740 And you're like, boy, you can barely even spell that. 36:51.740 --> 36:52.740 OK. 36:52.740 --> 36:57.820 And it's just it's just silly to me because like someone that actually like studies and 36:58.180 --> 37:05.020 a lot of engineering background or maybe work for NASA or has been in the space program 37:05.020 --> 37:09.200 or like has like a lot of knowledge, they're not going to get sucked into these things. 37:09.200 --> 37:13.760 It's people that have very little knowledge in these subjects are very ignorant in these 37:13.760 --> 37:14.960 subjects. 37:14.960 --> 37:16.620 And then they just simply start saying things. 37:16.620 --> 37:21.700 Well, I watched a YouTube video where it said, you know, that's a problem. 37:21.700 --> 37:23.180 OK. 37:23.180 --> 37:27.460 But you know, is it just because you just don't have a lot of knowledge in this subject? 37:27.500 --> 37:30.620 I mean, and a lot of times a lot of people that believe in these theories, they've never 37:30.620 --> 37:32.460 let the other side speak to them either. 37:32.460 --> 37:33.460 They didn't read books. 37:33.460 --> 37:36.740 They didn't let the other side explain to them. 37:36.740 --> 37:43.220 You know, I was watching I think it was like a Joe Rogan snippet or something. 37:43.220 --> 37:47.140 And somebody was trying to explain to Joe Rogan how nukes are fake or something like 37:47.140 --> 37:49.300 this, like nuclear warheads are fake. 37:49.300 --> 37:50.300 OK. 37:50.300 --> 37:54.620 And their number one proof was that the video camera captured it. 37:54.780 --> 37:58.780 There was like video footage of like the some of the nukes that they would set off, you 37:58.780 --> 38:02.620 know, in like the desert areas of America or other parts. 38:02.620 --> 38:05.060 And they're like, see, it's impossible. 38:05.060 --> 38:08.480 But then it's like you just ask like, oh, how did they capture the footage? 38:08.480 --> 38:13.860 They had a camera underground and then through a series of a handful of mirrors, they were 38:13.860 --> 38:18.760 able to just see visually the nuclear warhead going off. 38:18.760 --> 38:24.380 You don't think, oh, wow, we instantly debunked nukes because camera footage 38:24.420 --> 38:26.420 caught it. It's like, yeah, they figured that out. 38:26.420 --> 38:30.900 Or it's like, oh, well, on the landing on the moon, how did they have a camera, you 38:30.900 --> 38:34.140 know, just to catch Neil Armstrong coming off of the spacecraft? 38:34.140 --> 38:36.620 It's like because there's a camera on the spacecraft. 38:38.780 --> 38:40.500 It's like, oh, yeah, well, there's no wind in space. 38:40.500 --> 38:42.140 How did the flag, you know, wave or whatever? 38:42.140 --> 38:44.980 How's the flag sitting up? It's like there's a pole just holding it up. 38:46.380 --> 38:48.700 It's like just like really simple little things. 38:48.700 --> 38:51.180 And look, I went to seventh grade science class. 38:51.180 --> 38:55.060 They made me watch an entire movie debunking the moon landing. 38:55.500 --> 38:57.420 And I don't know why. It was weird. 38:57.860 --> 39:01.180 And it's just like all of their proofs were just really lame. 39:01.460 --> 39:04.580 And it was just like, just listen to the other side for a few minutes. 39:05.020 --> 39:08.500 And then maybe you'd realize, like a lot of these arguments don't even have any 39:08.900 --> 39:11.500 reality to them. They're not matching math and science. 39:11.500 --> 39:13.940 And look, and if you think that we didn't land on the moon, you can believe whatever 39:13.940 --> 39:16.580 you want. All right, I'm not going to tell you what to believe or not to believe. 39:16.900 --> 39:21.700 But I think that, you know, you're going a little overboard and you probably just 39:21.700 --> 39:26.500 haven't really considered a lot of facts, a lot of science, a lot of math, 39:26.700 --> 39:29.300 a lot of other things that are going on in this world. 39:29.580 --> 39:32.300 And it makes Christianity look stupid. 39:32.980 --> 39:38.220 I'm sorry. If here's the thing, if we're wrong, it's harmful. 39:38.620 --> 39:42.780 And anyway, I am OK championing unpopular opinions. 39:43.100 --> 39:44.540 I will champion them all day long. 39:44.940 --> 39:49.100 But I don't like championing things that are stupid or dumb or make us look dumb 39:49.100 --> 39:53.740 or, you know, unintelligible or just whatever, because it just makes Christianity 39:53.740 --> 39:57.100 look like some people think, oh, well, you believe the earth is six thousand years 39:57.100 --> 39:58.060 old, then you're a flat earther. 39:59.660 --> 40:04.300 And it's just like, well, those aren't mutually inclusive, like, in fact, they 40:04.300 --> 40:10.540 did research years ago, decades ago, and like almost half of America believe that 40:10.540 --> 40:12.460 the earth was under ten thousand years old. 40:12.780 --> 40:17.020 Not that long ago, whereas the number of flat earthers has always been less than 40:17.020 --> 40:21.780 one percent, you know, at least in America's history, you know, it's probably 40:21.780 --> 40:23.180 more now than it's ever been. 40:23.740 --> 40:28.820 And it's just because of the escalation of the Internet again, laziness and simple 40:28.820 --> 40:31.340 ignorance, just simple, simple ignorance. 40:31.700 --> 40:33.980 You know, some people don't even believe that the earth is spinning. 40:34.900 --> 40:40.700 This idea of geocentricity where the earth is not spinning and in fact, the sun is 40:40.700 --> 40:42.260 revolving around the earth. 40:42.500 --> 40:44.020 OK, it's spinning around the earth. 40:44.500 --> 40:45.100 But here's the thing. 40:45.140 --> 40:49.500 It's just simple ignorance again, because there's a French guy, Foucault, who built 40:49.500 --> 40:54.100 pendulums and they built them all over the entire world, proving the earth spins. 40:54.740 --> 40:57.260 Like it's not even a question whether or not it spins. 40:57.580 --> 41:01.140 Foucault's pendulum has already proven beyond any shadow of a doubt. 41:01.860 --> 41:02.700 Oh, this is NASA. 41:02.940 --> 41:05.740 This is hundreds of years before NASA even thought of existing. 41:05.740 --> 41:08.660 OK, you have Foucault's pendulum. 41:08.700 --> 41:10.140 You have all kinds of different proofs. 41:10.140 --> 41:11.940 People have understood a lot of these things. 41:12.180 --> 41:17.140 And it's just really frustrating because they make Bible believing Christians look 41:17.140 --> 41:20.500 bad when they start spouting nonsensical talking points. 41:21.020 --> 41:24.500 They get up and they just say things that just aren't reality. 41:25.180 --> 41:29.460 I heard another one. It was saying that, you know, is denying certain things about 41:29.460 --> 41:34.300 special relativity because Einstein is related to it. 41:34.340 --> 41:37.500 And again, some people think that Jews. 41:38.700 --> 41:41.940 Are incapable of even inventing one thing. 41:42.460 --> 41:46.300 I think that Jews are just incapable of even forming a sentence, basically. 41:47.260 --> 41:51.340 And because because they're bad or something, it's like I personally believe Jews are 41:51.340 --> 41:53.260 probably some of the smartest people on our planet. 41:53.620 --> 41:56.260 They probably they typically have the highest IQs. 41:56.620 --> 41:59.700 You know, you look at some of the things that Jews have created. 41:59.820 --> 42:01.820 It's very smart. 42:01.860 --> 42:03.860 I mean, it's very smart what they've done. 42:04.260 --> 42:07.380 You know, you look at some of the works of Hollywood while they might be wicked, 42:07.380 --> 42:08.300 they're wicked smart. 42:09.140 --> 42:14.060 I mean, look, the musical compositions that they have created, many of the movies 42:14.060 --> 42:18.260 and the ways that they've been able to invent capturing films and just the 42:18.260 --> 42:22.900 inventions of banking and insurance, you know, insurance and all kinds. 42:22.940 --> 42:25.140 I mean, the things that they did are pretty inventive. 42:25.460 --> 42:28.340 The fact that they could pull off building seven is impressive. 42:29.140 --> 42:33.100 The fact that they can get the entire American populace to literally believe that 42:33.100 --> 42:37.740 we are bombed by terrorists and that the passport survived. 42:38.180 --> 42:42.460 You know, I'm just thinking like, wow, these people are in some ways mad 42:42.460 --> 42:44.220 scientists and evil geniuses. 42:44.820 --> 42:48.100 Now, I'm not saying they're not evil, but it would be it would kind of be silly to 42:48.100 --> 42:50.700 sit here and say that they're stupid on top of that. 42:51.100 --> 42:53.660 And many cases, they're really smart. 42:53.660 --> 42:55.660 I mean, they're breathing in a lot of oxygen, folks. 42:55.660 --> 42:59.420 OK, you got to think that they got some brain power there. 42:59.740 --> 43:04.940 And at the end of the day, it would be it'd be naive to sit here and consider 43:04.940 --> 43:07.020 that your enemy isn't smart. 43:07.020 --> 43:11.740 According to the Bible, the unsaid isn't just is just wiser than God's people. 43:11.740 --> 43:14.580 In many cases, I mean, that's just what the Bible actually says, 43:14.820 --> 43:18.060 that the people in this world are wiser in their generation, 43:18.500 --> 43:20.780 in many cases, than than God's people. 43:21.140 --> 43:24.460 You know, they because think about it, they're not spending time reading the Bible. 43:24.460 --> 43:26.180 They're not spending time serving God. 43:26.180 --> 43:29.140 They're just spending all day, every day, figuring out how to make money 43:29.140 --> 43:32.140 and invent things just they only live in the flesh. 43:32.140 --> 43:35.460 So in many cases, they outsmart us in the flesh. 43:35.740 --> 43:37.020 They have a lot of wisdom. 43:37.020 --> 43:40.980 There's a lot of unsaid people in this world that are just really smart, 43:41.340 --> 43:45.900 really hardworking, very skilled, just very impressive. 43:46.220 --> 43:50.300 OK, but the problem is that to God, the legs of a man aren't impressive. 43:50.780 --> 43:53.540 The brain of man is still not impressive, and the wisdom of this world 43:53.540 --> 43:55.100 is still foolishness with God. 43:55.100 --> 43:59.060 But you have to admit, I mean, Elon Musk's invented some pretty cool stuff. 43:59.300 --> 44:00.540 Lisa's underlings. 44:00.540 --> 44:03.220 I mean, have them at A.I. is is kind of crazy. 44:06.540 --> 44:10.540 The fact that cars can drive themselves across town with women 44:10.540 --> 44:12.820 drivers is insane. 44:13.540 --> 44:17.460 I mean, the amount of variables in driving 44:18.220 --> 44:21.900 with cameras and we're talking about quick response times, 44:22.180 --> 44:25.380 we're talking about all the crazy stuff that's going out on the road, 44:25.620 --> 44:28.220 dangers and I mean, 44:28.220 --> 44:30.780 that's like unfathomable. 44:30.780 --> 44:34.820 You know, Elon Musk's technology where he's sending space rockets 44:34.820 --> 44:38.260 into the sky, into the air, and then landing this rockets back. 44:38.420 --> 44:42.460 The amount of science and mathematics necessary 44:42.460 --> 44:45.460 to execute such a plan is incredible. 44:45.940 --> 44:48.020 It's it's it's incredible. 44:48.020 --> 44:51.460 Our infrastructure, I mean, it doesn't matter what system you're talking about, 44:51.460 --> 44:55.620 whether it be our trash systems, our electrical systems or water systems. 44:56.020 --> 44:58.180 They are genius in many cases, 44:58.460 --> 45:02.420 and they have some really smart people that have done a lot of really smart things. 45:02.660 --> 45:05.460 Our military, very intelligent. 45:05.660 --> 45:08.660 Some of the weapons that we have, some of the things that we've done. 45:08.940 --> 45:12.660 I'm just telling you, like it's just silly to sit here 45:12.940 --> 45:16.740 and have zero knowledge about a subject, watch YouTube video, 45:16.780 --> 45:20.300 and then just try to discount huge disciplines of knowledge, 45:20.620 --> 45:25.060 huge numbers of people that literally are employed and work in certain industries. 45:25.380 --> 45:27.060 And it's just very off putting. 45:27.060 --> 45:28.260 It looks bad. 45:28.260 --> 45:30.420 And for the most part, if you just don't know about a subject, 45:30.420 --> 45:32.700 you know, you should do is you just shut up about. 45:33.660 --> 45:38.660 And again, in the day of today, people just are very simple 45:38.660 --> 45:40.100 and they just believe anything they hear. 45:40.100 --> 45:42.060 As soon as they hear it, they just immediately believe it. 45:42.060 --> 45:43.620 They just think it's true. 45:43.620 --> 45:46.340 And it's just funny to me that they bring up proofs 45:46.340 --> 45:48.340 that they wouldn't even known about if NASA hadn't told them. 45:49.060 --> 45:51.460 It's like, OK, it's silly. 45:52.060 --> 45:54.220 Go over what to Ecclesiastes, Chapter 11. 45:54.420 --> 45:58.540 Point number one of how people get trapped in a crazy conspiracy theories 45:58.540 --> 45:59.340 is because they're lazy. 45:59.340 --> 46:01.420 Number two is because they're just simply ignorant. 46:01.420 --> 46:03.500 They just don't really know about the subject. 46:03.500 --> 46:05.460 And so they get they get sucked into it. 46:05.780 --> 46:10.860 You know, there's this weird idea out there that says that the Bible is a Jewish trick. 46:11.980 --> 46:16.660 That the Bible is a trick to basically subdue people 46:16.980 --> 46:20.980 and cause them to just be in submission to the Jew or something like that, 46:21.300 --> 46:24.620 because they see Zionism and they see a lot of evangelicals 46:25.020 --> 46:28.100 being sucked into a lot of Zionism and being subservient to Jews. 46:28.300 --> 46:31.300 So then they just falsely acclaim it's well, the Bible teach this. 46:31.660 --> 46:34.260 And it's just like, have you read the Bible? 46:34.460 --> 46:35.980 It's like, and you guys read the Bible. 46:35.980 --> 46:39.340 Is it going to sit here and say, like, this book is just saying love Jews, you know, 46:39.820 --> 46:43.380 like you read the New Testament, it's not like Jesus is just like Jews are awesome. 46:43.660 --> 46:46.940 You know, there's a lot of gnarly verses about the Jews in the Bible. 46:47.380 --> 46:50.460 In fact, you argue like what's the most anti-Semitic document in the world? 46:50.460 --> 46:52.140 It's probably the Bible. 46:52.140 --> 46:54.260 It's probably quotes from Jesus. 46:54.260 --> 46:59.020 I mean, the Holocaust, you know, museum or group or whatever, 46:59.260 --> 47:04.140 they were trying to say, like the definition of anti-Semitism was many quotes of the Bible. 47:05.020 --> 47:08.980 Because, look, but again, there's this theory out there for people 47:08.980 --> 47:13.060 have not read the Bible and they'd be like, oh, yeah, the Bible is a Jewish trick. 47:13.060 --> 47:14.300 I don't even read that. 47:14.300 --> 47:18.140 I don't even want to get sucked into that because I just know Jews are bad. 47:18.420 --> 47:20.380 So therefore, I'm not willing to read the Bible. 47:20.380 --> 47:23.140 It's out there. Again, someone that's ignorant of a subject 47:23.380 --> 47:25.540 can often get sucked into lies. 47:25.780 --> 47:27.940 Think about how many people just don't read their Bible 47:28.460 --> 47:30.540 and they're going to a bad church. Why? 47:30.740 --> 47:35.020 Because it's just easy to get sucked into lies, sucked into Mormonism. 47:35.340 --> 47:38.100 And I mean, think about how stupid Mormonism is. 47:39.460 --> 47:42.900 I mean, Mormonism is teaching that Jesus and Satan are brothers, 47:43.500 --> 47:48.060 that Elohim came down and had relations with Mary, created Jesus. 47:48.060 --> 47:50.580 He was just a normal person, became a God. 47:50.900 --> 47:54.740 You'll become a God, too, if you wear special underwear and come to the temple 47:54.740 --> 47:57.060 and get married and do all the Freemasonry signs. 47:57.260 --> 47:59.940 I mean, the whole thing is just insane. 47:59.940 --> 48:01.500 How does someone get sucked into that? 48:01.500 --> 48:05.500 Because they're just ignorant of the truth or ignorant of the Bible. 48:05.500 --> 48:09.500 They're ignorant of Joseph Smith and things that he taught in his life. 48:09.660 --> 48:12.100 They're ignorant of the fact that everybody hate him so much 48:12.100 --> 48:14.620 they just went into jail and threw him out of a window and killed him 48:15.460 --> 48:17.380 because he's just a false prophet and nobody liked him. 48:17.860 --> 48:22.340 And he was ran out of every area that he was in because he was just a weirdo and a freak. 48:22.940 --> 48:25.340 But it's like, again, people don't know these kind of things. 48:25.340 --> 48:28.420 People don't understand the origins of the Jehovah's Witnesses. 48:28.700 --> 48:31.420 They don't understand that their leaders have already given 48:31.420 --> 48:35.100 false prophecies of Jesus Christ and that they failed repeatedly. 48:35.340 --> 48:38.460 The great disappointment, you know, all these different things. 48:38.460 --> 48:41.500 They don't understand, you know, in some cases, the Seventh-day Adventists 48:41.500 --> 48:43.060 don't realize they're following Ellen G. 48:43.060 --> 48:47.220 White and following a woman and following all of her ramblings 48:47.220 --> 48:49.380 and crazy beliefs and crazy teachings. 48:49.780 --> 48:51.500 People often are very ignorant. 48:51.500 --> 48:54.620 They don't read the Bible and it's easy to be lied to and sucked into. 48:54.980 --> 48:57.580 This applies to all areas of life. 48:57.580 --> 49:01.500 If you don't know something, you can be easily tricked about it. 49:02.380 --> 49:06.300 So if you don't know something, if you're ignorant of some area, 49:06.620 --> 49:09.060 be cautious with that area. 49:09.060 --> 49:11.100 And more importantly, you should just learn a lot. 49:11.100 --> 49:14.260 You should just be a lifelong learner and grow in knowledge 49:14.620 --> 49:17.620 so that you won't be, you know, taken advantage of it. 49:17.620 --> 49:21.820 And the Bible tells us to go to church to learn from pastors and teachers 49:22.220 --> 49:26.620 so that you won't be easily beguiled, that you won't easily be tricked, 49:26.620 --> 49:30.060 that you won't be like tossed to and fro like children, 49:30.540 --> 49:35.740 carried about of winds of doctrines and false, you know, lying heresies. 49:36.780 --> 49:39.180 But here's another thing that can kind of happen. 49:39.500 --> 49:42.860 And here's another problem is that people get sucked into, 49:43.420 --> 49:46.420 you know, weird narratives because of indecision. 49:46.780 --> 49:48.860 Says here in Ecclesiastes, Chapter 11, verse four, 49:49.140 --> 49:54.380 he that observeth the wind shall not so and he that regarded the clouds shall not reap. 49:55.900 --> 49:58.860 There's just constant conspiracy theory 49:59.180 --> 50:04.340 and just fear mongering about our economy, our world. 50:04.700 --> 50:08.860 I mean, I heard a pastor get up and say, if you are actively 50:09.620 --> 50:13.180 like you're in college, enrolled, getting a software job, 50:13.500 --> 50:17.940 you should immediately quit and become a farmer because AI. 50:18.820 --> 50:20.820 That is crazy. 50:21.380 --> 50:22.700 That is just crazy. 50:22.700 --> 50:24.140 And that is that's what this is saying. 50:24.140 --> 50:26.740 Like, if you're just so afraid of everything, 50:27.220 --> 50:29.700 then you then you many cases just you won't do anything. 50:30.300 --> 50:33.220 And look, indecision is devastating. 50:33.660 --> 50:36.100 Go to James, Chapter one, go to James, Chapter number one. 50:36.580 --> 50:39.220 Indecision is one of the worst things you can do. 50:39.700 --> 50:44.900 It's so much better to just pick a lane and just get in there and not change. 50:46.460 --> 50:47.740 Now, sometimes we have to change. 50:47.740 --> 50:49.340 I get it. Sometimes we need to adapt. 50:49.340 --> 50:52.700 I get it. But being indecisive is bad. 50:53.060 --> 50:54.940 It'll be the worst thing driving. 50:54.940 --> 50:57.180 You cannot be indecisive as a driver. 50:57.180 --> 50:58.780 Pick a lane. 50:58.780 --> 51:01.980 And if you're coming to a fork in the road, indecision will kill you. 51:02.700 --> 51:04.580 You have to just pick, pick a side. 51:04.580 --> 51:05.860 You have to pick a lane. 51:05.860 --> 51:08.060 And in life, you have to pick a lane. 51:08.060 --> 51:12.340 Think about how much money is wasted in our economy and in our country today 51:12.620 --> 51:15.220 because of career indecision. 51:16.260 --> 51:19.980 How many youth are going to college and you'll ask them right now, 51:20.220 --> 51:21.580 hey, what are you studying? 51:21.580 --> 51:24.900 What are you majoring in? I don't even know. 51:24.900 --> 51:26.500 How is that effective? 51:26.500 --> 51:28.940 How many people just go to college on a whim? 51:29.300 --> 51:31.260 They don't even know why they're there. 51:31.260 --> 51:33.500 They don't even know what career they're getting. 51:33.500 --> 51:35.460 They're not even sure what studies they're getting. 51:35.700 --> 51:37.820 They don't even know what job they're aiming for. 51:38.180 --> 51:43.860 Like all of this indecision waste so much time, so many resources. 51:44.420 --> 51:47.100 And in fact, I just hate our system. 51:47.700 --> 51:52.020 This is a tangent, but I hate our system because it's really hurting 51:52.020 --> 51:54.460 the youth in a lot of ways. 51:54.460 --> 51:58.860 You know, instead of a young man going out and working from 16 51:59.060 --> 52:01.620 to, let's just say, 20, 21, 22, 52:01.980 --> 52:04.980 and taking all of the money that he's making and just putting it in the bank 52:05.660 --> 52:08.940 or putting in investments or putting it in real estate or something 52:08.980 --> 52:11.780 and staying with his parents for free. 52:11.780 --> 52:16.980 They'll leave mom and dad at 18 and they'll borrow money to go to college 52:17.500 --> 52:20.620 and they'll just rack up a hundred grand in debt. 52:21.020 --> 52:24.580 And then all of a sudden, now they have to just pay bills, pay this debt. 52:24.580 --> 52:26.220 They have no money. 52:26.220 --> 52:29.740 And it's just like you're basically just harming yourself. 52:29.900 --> 52:32.940 It'd be like chopping off both your feet before you go on a marathon run. 52:33.500 --> 52:37.140 It's just like it's just not a very good idea in many cases. 52:37.140 --> 52:41.820 Now, look, if you know, I'm going to school because I'm going to become a doctor 52:42.460 --> 52:44.780 and I know when I graduate, I'm going to get this job 52:44.780 --> 52:48.020 that's going to pay one million dollars a year. 52:48.860 --> 52:52.740 Then it's OK to rack up two hundred thousand dollars in student loan debt. 52:53.140 --> 52:55.500 That won't hurt you in the long run. 52:55.500 --> 52:58.500 But you know what? You go to college for eight years 52:59.260 --> 53:03.060 and you just goof around and get a general business degree 53:03.220 --> 53:07.300 and you get all the student loan debt and then you just go get a sales job afterwards 53:07.300 --> 53:08.700 because you have no skills. 53:08.700 --> 53:11.100 You know what? That was a bad move. 53:11.100 --> 53:14.780 And that indecision is going to cause you all kinds of problems. 53:15.700 --> 53:17.820 You don't have to go to college to be successful. 53:18.540 --> 53:20.820 You can go to college and be successful. 53:20.820 --> 53:21.940 It doesn't. It's not. 53:21.940 --> 53:24.580 It's not. I'm not sitting up here trying to say college good or bad. 53:24.580 --> 53:27.780 What I am saying is indecision bad, indecision bad. 53:27.820 --> 53:32.180 And you have to think about, hey, is the college path even makes sense? 53:32.500 --> 53:34.300 Does this job even make sense? 53:34.300 --> 53:36.820 Where am I headed? What am I trying to do with my life? 53:37.060 --> 53:40.060 And the people that are constantly like, I don't know what to do with my life, 53:40.540 --> 53:42.340 are going to fail. 53:42.700 --> 53:45.020 If you what you should do is you should think of this. 53:45.460 --> 53:48.060 Hey, who's successful? 53:48.060 --> 53:50.860 And then go ask that successful person, what did you do? 53:51.180 --> 53:52.340 And this is what you'll hear. 53:52.340 --> 53:53.820 Well, I wanted to be this. 53:53.820 --> 53:55.500 And then I just worked really hard to be this. 53:55.500 --> 53:56.700 And then I did that. 53:57.500 --> 53:59.980 It's like, hey, I wanted to own my own business and I did it. 54:00.060 --> 54:01.100 Hey, I want to be a doctor. 54:01.100 --> 54:02.020 And then I just became a doctor. 54:02.020 --> 54:04.540 You know, no one just accidentally becomes a doctor. 54:04.540 --> 54:06.620 You know, an accident becomes a lawyer. 54:06.620 --> 54:09.180 No one accidentally has their own business. 54:09.340 --> 54:11.540 No one accidentally is successful. 54:11.540 --> 54:14.140 People are successful because they tried really hard. 54:14.140 --> 54:16.980 They had a vision and they worked really hard 54:17.220 --> 54:19.580 and they accomplished that particular vision. 54:19.860 --> 54:22.620 OK, James, chapter one talks about this. 54:24.100 --> 54:26.220 Let's look at verse number. 54:26.260 --> 54:27.700 Let's let's just get some more condes. 54:27.700 --> 54:30.260 Verse five, if any of you lack wisdom, 54:30.260 --> 54:32.500 let him ask of God that give it to all men liberally 54:32.500 --> 54:34.540 and it braided not and it shall be given him. 54:34.540 --> 54:37.820 Let him ask in faith nothing wavering for he that wavered is like a wave 54:37.820 --> 54:41.260 of the sea driven with the wind and tossed for let not that man think 54:41.260 --> 54:44.300 that he should receive anything of the Lord. 54:44.620 --> 54:48.740 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 54:49.540 --> 54:53.540 This is a strong warning from God saying you don't want to be double minded. 54:54.500 --> 54:57.100 And what is the main context wisdom from God? 54:57.580 --> 54:59.900 Hey, God, I want to know what to do with my life. 55:00.340 --> 55:04.140 Well, if you don't ask in faith, you know, you're not going to receive that. 55:04.820 --> 55:08.340 You know, here's here's a way to kind of ask that question and not really have in 55:08.340 --> 55:10.820 faith. It's like you want God to tell you what to do with your life, 55:10.820 --> 55:13.060 but you won't read your Bible and you won't go to church. 55:13.340 --> 55:17.020 Well, don't expect for God to answer that prayer. 55:17.660 --> 55:20.420 You know, if you're reading your Bible and you're praying, 55:20.420 --> 55:24.860 you're seeking the Lord, hey, he can give you wisdom and he can help you understand 55:24.860 --> 55:27.060 what to do with your life and know where to go. 55:27.340 --> 55:30.460 But at the end of the day, you also have to realize that God is not going to come 55:30.460 --> 55:33.980 down from heaven and tell you which application to fill out. 55:35.140 --> 55:38.940 God is not going to come down from heaven and tell you where to live. 55:39.940 --> 55:43.380 This is why God is good, because he gives you free will. 55:43.860 --> 55:47.380 He says of all the trees of the garden, thou mayst freely eat. 55:48.380 --> 55:52.060 But if you don't actually go to a tree and actually pick some fruit off of it, you 55:52.060 --> 55:57.500 won't eat. OK, you have to just pick a tree and you have to go and get that apple 55:57.740 --> 56:00.340 and you have to take it off the tree and you have to eat it. 56:00.780 --> 56:05.580 And in many cases, people today, young people are being told there's no jobs. 56:05.860 --> 56:07.980 A.I. has killed all the jobs. 56:08.180 --> 56:09.740 The economy is bad. 56:09.900 --> 56:11.860 There's all this fear mongering. 56:12.020 --> 56:13.940 There's all this conspiracy. 56:14.140 --> 56:17.100 There's all this just, oh, we might be in the end times. 56:17.340 --> 56:20.860 And I think that the beast is coming and there's no point getting a job. 56:21.020 --> 56:23.380 And I, you know, just women are bad. 56:23.380 --> 56:27.100 I don't want to get married and feminism and just all this stuff. 56:27.300 --> 56:32.900 And it's like, quit listening to all the conspiracy theories and stop being so lazy. 56:33.260 --> 56:37.180 Just find a girl that you like and say, I'm all in Marrior. 56:37.940 --> 56:39.420 And don't be double minded about your wife. 56:39.420 --> 56:41.460 Be all in on your wife. 56:41.740 --> 56:42.900 Hey, I want to have kids. 56:42.900 --> 56:45.340 Just go all in. Just say, I'm just going to have kids. 56:45.380 --> 56:50.300 Hey, pick a career that's going to make money that you'll be satisfied with and just go all in 56:50.940 --> 56:54.220 on whatever career, whatever job, whatever idea you have. 56:54.620 --> 56:59.060 And, you know, the reason why many people are not successful is they just won't pick something. 56:59.060 --> 57:00.220 They won't just do something. 57:00.820 --> 57:05.540 They're just constantly just, you know, checking the wind, you know, like, I don't know. 57:05.900 --> 57:09.060 Because again, by checking the wind, what are they afraid of? 57:09.380 --> 57:11.420 I'm afraid I'm going to invest, right? 57:11.420 --> 57:15.140 I'm afraid I'm going to sow this seed and there's not going to be any product from it. 57:15.580 --> 57:16.940 But the Bible is saying sow thy seed. 57:17.820 --> 57:19.220 Just just do something. 57:19.540 --> 57:20.620 Just invest in something. 57:20.620 --> 57:25.260 And look, typically, if you just work really hard to invest in something, it just works out. 57:26.100 --> 57:28.500 Look how many terrible businesses exist and do great. 57:29.220 --> 57:31.380 I mean, Burger King is still in existence, folks. 57:32.300 --> 57:33.940 OK, I'm just thinking like, how? 57:33.940 --> 57:35.300 Like, who even eats? 57:35.300 --> 57:36.740 How many restaurants do I pass by? 57:36.740 --> 57:38.700 And I'm thinking like, who even eats here? 57:39.700 --> 57:42.020 You know, who shops at this store? 57:42.340 --> 57:43.420 I'm just fascinated. 57:43.420 --> 57:46.660 I go to this every once in a while, every blue moon. 57:47.060 --> 57:49.220 You know, I have to go to the mall or something with my wife. 57:49.420 --> 57:52.860 I'm just walking up down and thinking like, how does this store even exist? 57:54.140 --> 57:56.260 There was this one, it was like a cereal bar. 57:56.260 --> 57:58.220 And I'm just thinking like, what in the world? 57:58.380 --> 58:01.100 People go to the mall to eat cereal. 58:03.820 --> 58:05.860 I just I'm just so fascinated. 58:05.860 --> 58:08.940 I'm just like, dude, you're struggling to be successful. 58:08.940 --> 58:11.860 This guy was like, I think we should eat cereal at the mall. 58:12.340 --> 58:13.820 It worked out. 58:13.820 --> 58:15.900 Now may not work out for long, but I'm just saying like, 58:16.300 --> 58:21.380 he actually saw that that dream come to life and really executed it. 58:21.620 --> 58:24.100 But I guarantee he went all in on the cereal. 58:24.100 --> 58:25.380 You know what I mean? 58:25.380 --> 58:27.260 He went all in and he sold that seed. 58:27.260 --> 58:32.660 And look, even if he fails, even if it just totally just as a complete failure, 58:32.860 --> 58:37.460 I guarantee that guy knows so much more now about starting a business, 58:37.780 --> 58:40.380 getting a business license, creating that, 58:40.580 --> 58:44.460 what it means to be a director, paying taxes, finances, all this stuff. 58:44.660 --> 58:48.460 And then maybe he is like, OK, fine, I'll just do a new business. 58:48.460 --> 58:52.340 But I know so much more now and I so much more experience. 58:52.500 --> 58:56.260 And look, you know, if you just sow your seed and you're just constantly working hard, 58:56.500 --> 58:58.740 God can give you wisdom and God can bless you eventually. 59:00.180 --> 59:04.900 But people that are, you know, conspiracy crazy, they'll just they won't do anything. 59:05.140 --> 59:06.460 They won't make any decisions. 59:06.460 --> 59:09.060 They're just afraid, afraid of investing, 59:09.060 --> 59:12.340 afraid of buying, afraid of and getting in some career. 59:12.860 --> 59:16.860 Look, I think it's kind of crazy to think that in a technology boom, 59:17.220 --> 59:19.220 getting into technology would be a bad idea. 59:21.060 --> 59:22.260 But you know what? 59:22.260 --> 59:25.940 If someone genuinely is a really hard worker and wants to get in farming, 59:25.940 --> 59:27.620 I'm not against you farming. 59:27.620 --> 59:30.740 Farming is cool, man. Make some cool, you know, products or whatever. 59:30.740 --> 59:32.380 I'll eat them.

OK. 59:57.100 --> 01:00:01.620 And it's like a lot of jobs, a lot of careers takes five or 10 years 01:00:01.620 --> 01:00:03.940 to get to the point that you kind of want to be at, at least. 01:00:04.380 --> 01:00:06.660 And then even then, there's still ways to escalate. 01:00:06.940 --> 01:00:08.860 There's still ways to improve. 01:00:08.860 --> 01:00:11.700 Most people, if they really care about making good money, 01:00:11.940 --> 01:00:14.700 owning your own business is usually one of the only ways to really do that, 01:00:15.340 --> 01:00:19.020 you know, or having a side business where you're you're making the money yourself. 01:00:19.780 --> 01:00:22.540 But it's a lot of stress. It's a lot of work. 01:00:22.540 --> 01:00:25.580 You know, working for a company can still be very successful. 01:00:25.580 --> 01:00:27.900 You can still do really good. 01:00:27.900 --> 01:00:30.500 You can be comfortable. You can focus on other things. 01:00:30.500 --> 01:00:32.740 There's tradeoffs, no matter what it is. 01:00:32.780 --> 01:00:34.340 But here's the here's the thing. 01:00:34.340 --> 01:00:38.780 Don't get this conspiracy bug where just everything's failed. 01:00:38.780 --> 01:00:40.900 Everything's doomed. All the jobs are gone. 01:00:40.900 --> 01:00:43.060 Robots are going to do my job.

They're not smart. 01:01:25.900 --> 01:01:28.020 They they say that they can't read. 01:01:28.020 --> 01:01:30.700 They say they can't put puzzles together. 01:01:30.740 --> 01:01:32.900 They I mean, that's what they preach on the pulpit. 01:01:33.380 --> 01:01:36.420 And, you know, they throw Greek manuscripts around. 01:01:36.900 --> 01:01:40.500 They throw the Bible in Greek on the ground and call it trash. 01:01:41.420 --> 01:01:42.500 That's because they're ignorant. 01:01:42.500 --> 01:01:43.980 They don't speak Greek. 01:01:43.980 --> 01:01:47.900 And it's a conspiracy theory to teach that somehow 01:01:48.180 --> 01:01:52.660 there was a real Greek manuscript that literally word for word 01:01:52.660 --> 01:01:55.060 in the exact order set it in the Greek. 01:01:55.060 --> 01:01:57.020 And they all disappeared or something. 01:01:57.020 --> 01:02:00.460 It's like maybe it's just languages sometimes have to word things 01:02:00.460 --> 01:02:02.100 a little differently. OK. 01:02:02.100 --> 01:02:07.580 It's like to believe that the Texas Receptors is not the Bible in Greek is crazy. 01:02:08.620 --> 01:02:10.540 It's crazy. 01:02:10.540 --> 01:02:14.300 And then you see idiots going around throwing a Bible on the ground 01:02:14.460 --> 01:02:17.700 and calling it trash just because it's not in their language. 01:02:19.340 --> 01:02:22.340 You have people getting up and just championing stupidity. 01:02:23.220 --> 01:02:24.860 What is it?

01:10:07.660 --> 01:10:12.060 Or, you know, just, just even, even just being humble about what you really 01:10:12.060 --> 01:10:14.620 know on a particular subject, it's just so much better. 01:10:14.620 --> 01:10:15.580 And think about it this way. 01:10:16.340 --> 01:10:19.860 If you say something like that, the person that's asking these questions will 01:10:19.860 --> 01:10:24.220 probably just tell you about it and probably learn if you just say, yeah, I 01:10:24.220 --> 01:10:26.500 know about that and they probably won't tell you about it. 01:10:26.500 --> 01:10:28.940 And then you, you basically don't become a learner. 01:10:29.500 --> 01:10:31.580 People that ask questions learn. 01:10:31.820 --> 01:10:33.300 People that are know-it-alls. 01:10:33.420 --> 01:10:34.540 Well, they already know it all. 01:10:34.540 --> 01:10:36.340 What's the point in teaching them anything?

God's grace is there to cover you. 01:21:53.900 --> 01:21:56.180 Don't you know that the body purges all meats? 01:21:56.180 --> 01:21:57.940 That's what the Bible said. 01:21:57.940 --> 01:22:01.780 You know, if people can be drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes all day 01:22:01.780 --> 01:22:05.100 and live to be 100, you're probably OK eating bread. 01:22:07.060 --> 01:22:09.660 Right. I mean, just just think about it. 01:22:09.660 --> 01:22:12.900 It's like, oh, but this bread isn't the best bread in the world. 01:22:12.900 --> 01:22:16.020 OK, I get it. Have the best bread then, please. 01:22:16.260 --> 01:22:19.740 You know what? You'd be better off just spending more time just working 01:22:19.900 --> 01:22:21.980 than researching. 01:22:21.980 --> 01:22:25.780 I just research all day long about subjects you really don't know much about, 01:22:26.340 --> 01:22:29.580 because I guarantee you there is an article saying that everything is good and bad. 01:22:30.260 --> 01:22:32.580 There's an article saying milk is good and bad. 01:22:32.580 --> 01:22:34.980 There's an article saying sourdough bread is good and bad. 01:22:34.980 --> 01:22:37.180 There's an article saying red meat is good and bad. 01:22:37.180 --> 01:22:38.300 There's an article saying. 01:22:38.300 --> 01:22:41.020 So if you want why I found an article that said this is bad. 01:22:41.020 --> 01:22:44.380 I sure there's an article saying I'm bad. 01:22:45.900 --> 01:22:49.460 It's a lot. OK, it's not that many saying I'm good. 01:22:49.460 --> 01:22:50.700 All right, I'll get it. All right. 01:22:50.700 --> 01:22:53.660 But there's plenty saying that the Bible is bad. 01:22:53.700 --> 01:22:56.820 I mean, are you just going to just cherry pick research 01:22:57.060 --> 01:22:58.980 and just believe anything and everything? 01:22:58.980 --> 01:23:02.820 You know, we should we should be a little bit more balanced, 01:23:03.540 --> 01:23:05.580 learning what the Bible says, caring with the Bible, 01:23:05.580 --> 01:23:08.980 is emphasizing those things, just working hard on what we know is right. 01:23:09.340 --> 01:23:12.060 Instead of getting just into all this weird stuff. 01:23:12.860 --> 01:23:16.380 One other thought, the Bible says, prove all things, hold fast to that, which is good. 01:23:16.700 --> 01:23:18.940 You know, we should spend most of our life 01:23:18.940 --> 01:23:21.580 concerned with the things that we know to be true, 01:23:22.180 --> 01:23:25.420 thinking on things that are pure, things that are lovely, things that are good. 01:23:25.860 --> 01:23:29.460 Hey, going so when because in the day you're going to die anyways, 01:23:30.100 --> 01:23:31.460 we're all going to die. 01:23:31.460 --> 01:23:32.940 We have limited time. 01:23:32.940 --> 01:23:35.340 None of us is figured it all out. 01:23:35.340 --> 01:23:37.060 None of us will understand all of it. 01:23:37.060 --> 01:23:39.900 But, you know, spending your whole life chasing conspiracies 01:23:40.220 --> 01:23:43.140 really isn't very expedient. OK. 01:23:43.500 --> 01:23:45.660 And unfortunately, for a lot of people, when they do this, 01:23:45.660 --> 01:23:47.460 they get into some things that aren't even true. 01:23:47.460 --> 01:23:49.300 Anyways, they get into lies. 01:23:49.620 --> 01:23:52.700 Don't be someone that excuses your laziness through conspiracies. 01:23:53.220 --> 01:23:55.060 Don't blame everybody else. 01:23:55.060 --> 01:23:56.420 You know, work hard. 01:23:56.420 --> 01:23:58.620 Be smart.
