I'm willing to look upon something. Well here's the problem with that. You get used to it and now you're at this point. And the separation is the same. And so when you're here you're willing to do this but you never do this. But now all of a sudden it's become normalized to you. So now you're here. It feels normal to you. Now you're willing to do this. And then you just get worse and worse and worse. That's what takes place. Go on your Bible to Isaiah 40. Isaiah 40. Isaiah chapter 40. Look if you're willing to watch everything that the movies and TV has to offer and anything the music has just because you like the sound of it. Just because you know it's fun it's entertaining and everything. You say well you know I know there's a lot of things that are sinful and I would never do that. But it's just a song. It's just a movie. I would never do that. But see if you let it enter into your eyes. It will start to feel normal. The process of something being normalized to you. Where basically if it's very common you get desensitized. It starts to feel normal. And no you wouldn't do it right now. But if you allow yourself to look at it and listen to it then eventually that might not seem that bad. Right. You've got to cut things off at the source. And I know that this sounds like very old fashioned music. But I know that this sounds like very old fashioned music. But I know that this sounds like very old fashioned music.

But I know that this sounds like very old fashioned music. But I know that this sounds like very old fashioned music. And the Bible speaks about the person who is going to be a soul winner until the day they die. And it says the person is blessed who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. What is counsel? Well, counsel is salvation. I'm not trying to go on a big rabbit trail, but I'm using this as an example. Well, let's say for example the best church. Because for a lot of people this was true. The best church in your area was probably a Repentance of Sins church. A church that's not even that clear in salvation. And you started listening to new IFB preaching. And then all of a sudden you're like, man, I'm anti-repentance of sins. But the church you were going to was teaching it. And you're mad about it, but then you just kind of, well, this is just the way it is. But when you go to church, I just got to get used to it, right? You get desensitized to it. But here's the thing. Imagine if we had a guest preacher here. And he got up and he said, you've got to repent of your sins to be saved. Do you realize how angry you'd be? I mean, I don't even know what would take place. I mean, if I didn't stand up and just remove him from church, I don't know what the reaction to the people would be. It's like, I mean, people would probably just throw him out the window or something. I don't know. It's like people would be horrified because you know it's a work of salvation. And you would never expect that in our church. And I know an example of this because I went to a church where basically the pastor was very clear on salvation. Very clear that you must believe in eternal security to be saved. There were sins of his work, salvation. He preached a whole sermon series on it and I praise the Lord for that. But the church supported a lot of missionaries. And the general system, the way you support missionaries is you support a lot and you give them a very small amount of money. OK, that's generally how I don't agree with that system, but that's just the way it usually is done. And what takes place is you're supporting all these missionaries so you don't know anything about them. You don't get to know them. You don't know what they teach. You don't know what they preach. This guy had been out on the mission field for like two decades. And here's some of the highlights of the sermon that I heard him preach. He said, you know what, I don't want you to give up hope with soul winning. He's like, you can go more than a decade without leading someone in the Lord. More than a decade? How are you going soul winning? You can't go more than a decade. Look, this is a receptive country, but no matter where I've been soul winning, it doesn't take a decade to get somebody saved. It doesn't take a year to get somebody saved. It's like, well, how many people have you gotten saved? And then there are four times in the sermon where he said repentance of sins for salvation, repentance of sins. And people are looking at me and my friends because people are learning more about this doctrine and they're really angry. And of course everyone's looking at the pastor and people are talking during the sermon. Is the pastor going to take him down? Is he going to get rid of him? Right? And it's just like it made everybody so angry. But what if they sat in a church that was very unclear on salvation? You just get used to it. Right? That's what takes place. Let me give you an example in the Bible of someone who gets very desensitized. He gets worn out by wickedness. 2 Peter 2 verse 7. And delivered just lot vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked. For that righteous man dwelling among them in seeing and hearing. So the things that he saw and the things that he heard vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds. Right? Because if you're saved, you know, you're saved, you know what the truth is. It's just like when you hear... I ask you please don't do something wicked. Right? Verse 8. Behold now, and this is, if you've never paid attention to this verse, this is one of the most shocking verses in the entire Bible. It's a verse where it's like did this actually happen? It's hard to believe. Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man. Let me, I pray you, bring them out on you and do you to them as is good in your eyes. Only unto these men do nothing, for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. And what Lot says is, you know, you've got these homos that want to molest these men. And what Lot says is, you know, that would be a wicked thing to do. Instead, I'll just give you my virgin daughters and do whatever you want with them. You say, why would he offer his virgin daughters? I mean, if these are homos, they're not interested in women. No, no, no, their door swings both ways. Homos are sexual perverts and it goes with men or women. Okay? But Lot offers his daughters. Now, I don't believe his daughters are virgins. I mean, I don't even know if he believes that. Maybe he's just trying to say something to try to calm them down or whatever. Given what they do later in the chapter, I think it's incredibly optimistic if they're actually virgins. I don't buy that for one second. I don't know whether Lot actually believed that or not. I don't think he really knew what his kids were doing. Because I doubt he was doing a very good job as a father, you know, raising these kids based on the events of this chapter. But regardless, Lot says, here are my virgin daughters. Do whatever you want to them. Now, do you believe that Lot would have done that before he went to sobbing and war on them? It would have never happened. But he gets desensitized to sexual perversion and it just doesn't seem that bad to him. I mean, can you imagine as a father offering your daughters to be molested by some, you know, wicked person? Can you even imagine that? I doubt that Lot could imagine that. But once he went to sobbing and war on them and he heard about this stuff all the time. He heard about all this crazy sexual perversion. All of a sudden, this doesn't seem that bad because he's hearing about this all the time. And he gets desensitized and he offers his daughters to these angry homeless. What's taking place? Well, when you're around wickedness and you see it and you hear it, it eventually wears you out. Right? Verse 31. Verse 31. Verse 31. And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth. Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve the seed of our father. Now, this is why I say I doubt his daughters are virgins at this point. Based on what they're suggesting here or what they end up doing. Because they think that they're the only people left alive. Like, Lot hasn't told them, hey, you know, it's just our town that's really wicked. I mean, he hasn't even told them. They're unaware. And they're like, we're not going to be able to preserve seed. Let us get our father drunk and sleep with him. Right? I mean, this chapter is shocking. Right? Now, where would they come up with an idea like that? Well, once again, if you're hearing about sexual perversion all the time, you're hearing about kids getting molested, who knows the things that everybody's doing in town. That doesn't seem that bad. Now, to us, that's pretty shocking. Getting your dad drunk and sleeping with him is like, how would that even enter into your mind? But when you're hearing about sexual perversion all the time, all of a sudden, this doesn't seem so bad anymore. Right? And go to Daniel 7. Daniel 7. Daniel chapter 7. Now, I think people assume, especially at a church like ours, that we really enjoy preaching on the homeless. To be honest, I wish I never had to preach on the homeless because I wish it just never existed. I wish there were no homeless. When I read Genesis 19, I mean, it's an entertaining chapter. It's a pretty uncomfortable chapter to read. It's a pretty uncomfortable chapter to preach. I mean, it's not a fun chapter. I wish I never had to preach on it, but I mean, in our country, you've got to preach on this all the time. I mean, it's everywhere in this country. And here's the thing. Yeah, you know what? If it's shocking you, you're like, man, I don't even like hearing that. Maybe we'll teach you to make sure your children are safe. Because this LGBT movement, they are after your children. They don't even hide that. They say that. They want to molest your children. That is what is in their hearts. That's what's in their minds. And you know what? They're going to try to get in positions of society where they have access to young children. It's a fact. It's common sense. And it's not just at the Catholic church where they're getting molested. They're getting molested at other places where they have access to young kids where parents are way too trusting with their kids and just assume nothing's going to happen. Right? Point number one, the Antichrist will speak against God. Point number two, the Antichrist will wear out the saints. Point three, the Antichrist will change laws. He will change laws to fit what he wants. Daniel 7, verse 25. And he shall speak great words against the most high, and shall wear out the saints at the most high, and think to change times and laws, and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. When the Antichrist comes, he's going to want to change the laws to fit what he wants. And he's going to because he's going to be the one running the show. And instead of the laws that exist in whatever country they are, he's going to make his own laws to fit what he personally wants. Okay? Now go to Matthew 5. Matthew 5. Matthew chapter 5. Now, I don't believe that there's a country that's even going to be the savior the first time. When he comes the second time and he sets up the millennial reign, well, yeah, you know what? He's going to be the king. He's the one who's enforcing his laws. He didn't do that the first time. But he didn't come, even though he wasn't enforcing God's laws, like stating, hey, we're going to put this person to death because the government's not doing it. Even though he didn't become this political leader, here's the thing. He didn't come and state the laws are bad. He just didn't come and become the ruler. Okay? Verse 18. For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall know what is passed from the law, till all be fulfilled. When does heaven and earth pass? Revelation 21, I should say. Revelation 21, there's going to be a new heaven and a new earth. And what the Bible's saying is the law is still valid until there's a new heaven and a new earth. You say, why would it change then? Well, because there's not going to be any sin at that point. Once the wicked people are destroyed, then in heaven, nobody's sinning. Right? But we're not at that point right now. We need laws because the law is not made for righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient. We need God's law. Verse 19. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Now go to Psalm 19. Psalm 19. Psalm 19. Look, every law that is written in this book is a good law. It's correct. Every bit of Leviticus, praise the Lord for it. I can't believe that there's a death penalty for this and a death penalty for that and a death penalty for that. Well, you know what, if there's a death penalty for those sins, maybe people wouldn't do them. Maybe it would prevent crime from happening. The law doesn't bother me because I'm not blaspheming God. I'm not aborting babies. I'm not murdering people. Why would I get offended? I'm not guilty of it. And if you're innocent, you have no reason to feel guilty. You don't get mad about it because you're innocent of it. And these laws actually would protect us from bad people. They're good laws. And what's so hypocritical is people criticize the laws of Leviticus, Leviticus 20 especially, Leviticus 18, Leviticus 20, the condemnation of the homos. They're like, well, that's the book of Leviticus. And yet those same people always quote, love thy neighbor as thyself. Do you know where that's found in the Bible? Do you know where that's quoted from? Leviticus chapter 19. Leviticus 18 condemns the homos. Leviticus 20 condemns the homos. Well, that's back then. It doesn't apply anymore. Just love your neighbor as yourself. It's like you've never read the Bible, have you? Because that's from the chapter in between chapters 18 and 20. You can't tell me. I'm going to pick what I want from the book of Leviticus, and I say this is a good law. But this is a bad law. Now let me just state this because I believe all of God's laws should still be what we have, every single one. But let me state this. For people that state the laws against the death penalty for these things, how wicked that law is. Well, obviously, even if you think that was just for Israel, God still made that law. Was it a good law back then? The death penalty for the homos? Obviously it was a good law because God made it. So why would you criticize it? I'm not against anything found a little bit because I think it's all good. I think people misinterpret certain things, but I believe all of God's law is good. Every single bit of it. Psalm 19. Psalm 19, verse 7. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise and simple. Now when it says the law of the Lord, that's not simply stating the commandments. It's really stating all of God's word. But the law of the Lord is perfect. Every bit of this book is perfect. Every bit of this book is pure. Every bit of this book is good. Every single bit of it. So here's the thing. As a preacher of God's word, I'm not going to be afraid to preach what the Bible says. Because it's good. It's what the Bible states. There's nothing bad in what God says. I'm not ashamed or embarrassed. It's not like when I do my Bible reading schedule. All right, Genesis, okay. Exodus, wow, no. They got out of Egypt, that's great. Leviticus, I'll just skip that. Because it's hateful. I mean, how dare God say that. I don't skip Leviticus in my Bible reading. You say, why? Because it's good. I mean, one day, I'll preach through Leviticus. It's not on the top of my list of books to preach through. But I'm going to preach through the whole Bible. And there's nothing I'm ashamed about. And look, if we had God's laws, we would actually have a peaceful world. We don't have that in 2022 though. Turn in your Bible to Daniel 7. Daniel 7. Daniel 7. Daniel 7. When the Antichrist comes though, he's going to change laws to fit what he wants. Right? When this law just passed in the U.S. on abortion, the President of the United States stood up and he stated, This is a very sad day for our country. That is what Joe Biden just said. It is a sad day that abortion is not legal for women. It's a sad day that women are not able to murder babies. And look, here's the thing. I'll be honest with you. I actually am pro-choice. Let's give the baby inside the belly a choice. Who's glad that your parents didn't kill you in the womb? I'm glad. Why don't you give the baby a choice? Because didn't I talk about last week? When you commit sins, you steal the freedom from other people. See, when you are selfish and say, Why have the freedom to do what I want? Here's the problem. You're stealing the liberty from other people. You stole the liberty from that baby to actually be able to live. And the President of the country stood up and said, This is a very sad day. Now look, I openly say the President of the U.S. is a reprobate. He's an evil person. And honestly, regardless of what you think about the election, you should be thankful that's not the President of our country. That's far worse than whoever would have gotten elected in this country. Even if it was the last candidate I'd want, it's far worse than what we have in our country. Not even close, right? Number one, the Antichrist will speak against God. Number two, he will wear out the saints by speaking against God. Number three, he will change laws. Number four, we will be anxious for the destruction of the Antichrist. Daniel 7 verse 11, I beheld then because of the... Revelation chapter 6. Revelation chapter 6. Revelation chapter 6. Revelation chapter 6 verse 9, And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And what these people are stating, I mean, people that are being killed for the cause of Christ being martyred, and he's basically saying, you know, how long is it going to be until you judge these people? What are they doing? They're anxiously awaiting the destruction of the evil people in this world. Is that not true? People up in heaven. It's not an earth. They're in heaven and they have the attitude, when is God going to destroy these wicked people? Sounds like it's a good attitude to have. Right? Turn to Psalm 58. Psalm 58. Psalm 58. Psalm 58. Now, people are going to be anxious for the destruction of the Antichrist and also for all the people that are reparations from that time period. And look, every Christian would state that they'll be happy the Antichrist gets destroyed. Do you think there's any Christian that would say, Well, you know what, I think we should pray for the Antichrist to believe on Jesus. None of them are going to say that. And realize this, the Antichrist is just a man. Okay? He's a man that's going to be used by the devil. But nobody's going to say they're going to pray for the Antichrist to be saved. Why wouldn't they say that? Because they know he won't get saved. Right? It's impossible for him to get saved. So what would be the point of putting in an effort of praying for someone that's not going to get saved? The Bible states we'll never get saved. Here's the thing in Revelation 6. All of those people, that is wrapped and poured out. You say, Why? Because those people that are taking the mark of the beast, you take the mark of the beast, and you've got your reservation in hell. Right? What's the point of praying for those people to get saved? They're not going to get saved. It's impossible. I mean, some people would agree, Well, of course I'm not going to pray for the Antichrist to get saved. It's not possible for him to get saved. Well, maybe you need to read your Bible a little bit more. There's people that I don't pray for to get saved either. You say, Why? Because they also lost their chance to be saved. I mean, people would agree, I'd never pray for the Antichrist to be saved. But, you know, I think we ought to pray for all these homos. Pray for all these pedophiles. Pray for all these wicked people that they'll just see the light of Jesus and believe on him. Why would you do that when the Bible states that those people are children of the devil? Right. It's not just the Antichrist that is never going to believe. There's other people that have made that decision. You see, when you get saved, Jesus said, I am the door. Open up that door, you're saved forever. It's eternal life. What did God say to Cain? He basically gave him a choice and he said, Sin lieth at the door. What is he stating? He said, You open up that door to be in a reprobate, you're going to be filled full of sin. Romans 1. That's the sort of thing he's saying. You're filled full of all of those things. Open up the door. Sin lieth at the door. And there are people that choose to open up that door and become a reprobate. There is no going back. Look, when you get saved, you're a child of God forever, no going back. You're saved. Eternal life. You open up that door to be in a reprobate, there's no going back. You're a reprobate forever. Nothing's changing you. So here's the thing. Why would we try to get those people saved? Why would we pray for those people? Now, I'm not stating that we know every single reprobate out there because we knocked on someone's door. We don't necessarily know what people. But there are people that we do know for sure. And here's the thing about this. There are people that we don't preach the gospel to. You say, why? Because they're not going to get saved. Right? I mean, your cousin who's been in a committed relationship with someone of the same gender for 30 years, they're not getting saved. What's the point of praying for that person and trying to get them saved? They lost their chance, my friend. Psalm 58, verse 10. When wicked people die, I'm going to rejoice. I'm not upset about that. You say, why? Because I know the Bible well enough to know that there's people that are never going to get saved. People that are wicked people. Right? Go to Psalm 139. We'll close up here. Psalm 139. Psalm 139. People get so mad at us because we state that there are people that have no chance. And look, the Bible states to be saved whosoever believeth. What I'm saying is there are people that can no longer believe. They lost that chance. I believe that God draws every person because he's been lifted up from the earth in survival states. But here's the thing. That doesn't mean he's going to draw them for their entire life. Yes, he's drawn everyone. He's died from the sins of the whole world. We know that. Right? The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men. You died for all. Everyone has a chance. But that doesn't mean that chance is your entire life. Yeah, he will draw you and try to get you saved. But you know what? If you decide to rebel against God and turn against God and open up that door to be a reprobate, that unsaved person is never going to get saved. They have made their choice and it's permanent. Now a lot of people hear this and they think this sounds very harsh. Right? Well, let's see what the Bible states in Psalm 139. Psalm 139. Verse 19. Psalm 139, verse 19. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God. Depart from me, therefore, ye bloody men. Verse 20. For they speak against thee wickedly, and thy enemies take thy name in vain. And the psalmist is speaking about people that are enemies of God, that hate God. Verse 21. Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee, and not agree with those that rise against me? I hate them with perfect hatred. I count them my enemies. Now, what's amazing about this is there's a lot of Christians that would say their favorite book in the Bible is the book of Psalms. Right? People love the book of Psalms. Oh, it's such a good and comforting book. It's just like, you know, when I preached these Psalms, I didn't take a lot of breaks because it's like every week was about reprobates, pretty much. It's like you don't understand what Psalms is about, right? Okay? It's like, he says, do not I hate them? You know what I've heard some people say, people that are safe? Well, just because David hated them doesn't mean that we should. That was just his opinion. It's like you're criticizing the Lord God now. Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee, and not agree with those that rise against me. I hate them with perfect hatred. I count them my enemies. And look, when we're reading this, this shows us there are people that are enemies of God that we should hate. That's right. If there's nobody in your life that you hate, you've got actually a problem. You can't just love everybody equally. That's ridiculous. Look, if you love flowers, you hate weeds. If you love children, then you hate the pedophiles. Right? I love children. I especially love my children, but you know what? I love all the children in this church. I want them to be safe. And if you love children, you've got to hate the pedophiles. Right. How can you just sit here and say, well, you should just love them. Give them another chance. It's like, are you insane? There are people. It's just, and look, people used to, even if they didn't know what the Bible said, and I was actually taught this by my dad at a young age. He's like, there are people that are just bad apples and they're never going to get a grind. That's what my dad told me as a kid. Because common sense will tell you there's people that are just messed up in the head. Right. What kind of a person would do the sorts of things they do? It's not normal. Right. He said, well, brother, I still think this is harsh. I've never heard anybody stand up and say that you ought to hate people. Well, you've never really heard people preach the Bible, have you? I mean, this is what the psalm says. I mean, if you don't agree with me, you can interpret it however you want. Right. Go ahead. Because I always encourage people to read what the Bible states, read what I preach, read the chapters, decide for yourself. I mean, if you're saved, you've got the Holy Spirit of God inside of you. So being a saved person, if you're going to be honest with the scripture, you're going to come to the same conclusion that I have. Because that's what the Bible states. Verse 23. Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts. So the psalmist is like, you know what? I hate people. Now search me, God, to see if there's anything wicked in me. Right. Verse 24. And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. So he just got done saying, there are people that I hate. If there's anything impure in me, please let me know, God. You know what the Bible's showing you? It's not a bad thing to hate certain people. We're not saying hating your personal enemy. We're saying hating the enemies of God. That's the difference. But he says, search me. See if there's any wicked way in me. And I would say the same thing today. There are people in this world that I hate. Search me, God, if that's a bad thought. Search me if that's wrong. Search me if there's anything improper in me. Because I say, yeah, you know what? I hate the Vice Ponges, the Joe Bidens, these wicked people. Yeah. I believe you ought to hate them. Search me, God. I'm not afraid of saying that, because I know that my belief is correct. And here's what's interesting about this. We have a song in our hymnal that goes, search me, oh God. Who knows the song that I'm talking about? It's a beautiful song. Search me, oh God, and know my heart today. And it's like, people love that song in the hymnal. Search me, oh God. And they've never looked at the context. You know where that comes from in the Bible? It comes from here, where David states, I hate these wicked people. Search me, oh God. There are people that we should hate. And look, it's common sense that everybody would say, oh, of course, I want the Antichrist to be destroyed. Why just the Antichrist, though? The Antichrist is just a man. He's a wicked man, but he's just a man. Well, here's the thing. There's other wicked people as well. It's not just the Antichrist. And look, all the people taking the mark of the beast, for one. But there are people today that become reprobates as well. When the Bible states with Cain that he made his decision and he was of that wicked one. It's the first example we really have in the Bible where basically God gives Cain a chance and he still had a chance and he said that sin lies at the door. He rejects it. And the Bible states in 1 John, when he actually killed him, he was of that wicked one because he was already a reprobate. He had made that decision when he decided to delay. There was no second chance for Cain. And here's the thing about this. Adam and Eve figured that out. They said, well, let's just get rid of him. We got a replacement. They forgot about him. Say why? Because of the fact he's a reprobate. He's never going to get saved. There are people in this world today that are bad people that are never going to get saved. Let's close in the word of prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing us to be here today and getting to see your word on this topic and help us just to know our Bibles and understand what the Antichrist is going to be doing here and help us just to know the word of God and help us have a proper understanding and balance on things. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. For our last song, let's turn to hymn number 228. Jesus is the Lord. From Jesus and his glory. For Jesus is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For he is Lord. For all are cheap And all are veiny And all are flowers He did so much for me And that is that's the reason I love you Everybody, I love you All the stories Will be my given glory To tell the old world's story All these lessons I've learned By the breath of the soul Is to listen to me I've seen to try my talent For God the Holy Spirit I've learned the word of the Lord Lord, Son, and everywhere I've learned the word of the Lord From God the Lord
