It would lead to higher to higher salaries for teachers if

Higher salaries for teachers if school choice was put was put
00:22:31.425 --> 00:22:34.762

Reading. i was reading proverbs and i
00:27:37.385 --> 00:27:38.119
I was reading proverbs and i can't be proverbs chapter three
00:27:38.252 --> 00:27:40.355
Can't be proverbs chapter three verse five and six when the

Verse five and six when the scripture says solomon writes
00:27:43.124 --> 00:27:43.725
Scripture says solomon writes trust in with all of your heart

First time as well i felt like god spoke to me from the pages
00:27:58.306 --> 00:27:58.940
God spoke to me from the pages of his word i can sense the
00:27:59.073 --> 00:28:01.876
Of his word i can sense the lord speaking to my heart.
00:28:02.010 --> 00:28:02.577
Lord speaking to my heart. and so what i heard heard was a
00:28:02.710 --> 00:28:05.413
And so what i heard heard was a calling to pastoral ministry.
00:28:05.546 --> 00:28:06.147
Calling to pastoral ministry. i that down but i folded it

>> i wanted nothing to do with pastoral ministry.
00:28:18.659 --> 00:28:21.129
Pastoral ministry. i remember the day god spoke
00:28:21.262 --> 00:28:21.896
I remember the day god spoke and i remember the day that i
00:28:22.030 --> 00:28:22.764
And i remember the day that i finally surrendered later and i
00:28:22.897 --> 00:28:25.033
Finally surrendered later and i completely surrendered to him,
00:28:25.166 --> 00:28:25.767
Completely surrendered to him, you know, because i had a dream
00:28:25.900 --> 00:28:28.536
You know, because i had a dream .

Fact that he preached the gospel for six straight years
00:28:42.517 --> 00:28:43.084
Gospel for six straight years called the center to repentance
00:28:43.217 --> 00:28:43.851

Vision and guidance. i also knew around that time an

Everybody gets silent and then .
00:31:55.576 --> 00:31:55.676
. 2019 great commission
00:31:55.810 --> 00:31:59.113
2019 great commission commission we had 183 disciples
00:31:59.247 --> 00:32:00.014
Commission we had 183 disciples when when we changed the name
00:32:00.147 --> 00:32:03.718
When when we changed the name and everything changed and and
00:32:03.851 --> 00:32:06.988
And everything changed and and right before we changed the
00:32:07.121 --> 00:32:07.688
Right before we changed the name i knew at that point i had
00:32:07.822 --> 00:32:08.456
Name i knew at that point i had lost my desire for having a
00:32:08.589 --> 00:32:11.292
Lost my desire for having a large ministry being known,
00:32:11.425 --> 00:32:14.662
Large ministry being known, social media following money,
00:32:14.795 --> 00:32:15.363
Social media following money, all that in my heart like over
00:32:15.496 --> 00:32:19.667
All that in my heart like over the period like three years god
00:32:19.800 --> 00:32:22.136
The period like three years god had rung that all out of my
00:32:22.270 --> 00:32:22.870
Had rung that all out of my heart and i wasn't thinking
00:32:23.004 --> 00:32:23.571
Heart and i wasn't thinking about anything else except
00:32:23.704 --> 00:32:25.139
About anything else except being faithful to whatever he
00:32:25.273 --> 00:32:25.906
Being faithful to whatever he placed right in front of me.
00:32:26.040 --> 00:32:28.676
Placed right in front of me. why do you think so many people
00:32:28.809 --> 00:32:29.710
Why do you think so many people are to this church and to this
00:32:29.844 --> 00:32:32.913
Are to this church and to this ministry?
00:32:33.047 --> 00:32:33.281
Ministry? >> if i tried to or something
00:32:33.414 --> 00:32:35.950
>> if i tried to or something creative we've done i would
00:32:36.083 --> 00:32:36.617
Creative we've done i would dishonored.
00:32:36.751 --> 00:32:40.488
Dishonored. i think people are showing up
00:32:40.621 --> 00:32:43.758
I think people are showing up because god is causing them to.
00:32:43.891 --> 00:32:44.525
Because god is causing them to. there's a temptation to think
00:32:44.659 --> 00:32:45.359
There's a temptation to think like like he's done this for me
00:32:45.493 --> 00:32:47.928
Like like he's done this for me and i have to fight that
00:32:48.062 --> 00:32:48.796
And i have to fight that temptation.
00:32:48.929 --> 00:32:51.132
Temptation. >> my god is doing this for
00:32:51.265 --> 00:32:51.999
>> my god is doing this for himself and we get a chance a
00:32:52.133 --> 00:32:53.768
Himself and we get a chance a part of what he's doing for
00:32:53.901 --> 00:33:01.275
Part of what he's doing for those who are watching you
00:33:01.409 --> 00:33:05.746
Those who are watching you know, pastors people in
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:06.380
Know, pastors people in ministry like i mean let's be
00:33:06.514 --> 00:33:07.114
Ministry like i mean let's be real real ministry is hard but
00:33:07.248 --> 00:33:09.717
Real real ministry is hard but holy work very hard for people
00:33:09.850 --> 00:33:10.551
Holy work very hard for people who are seeing the scale of
00:33:10.685 --> 00:33:13.921
Who are seeing the scale of what and what god is doing
00:33:14.055 --> 00:33:16.691
What and what god is doing through it.
00:33:16.824 --> 00:33:17.091
Through it. there might be some some some
00:33:17.224 --> 00:33:20.061
There might be some some some envy.
00:33:20.194 --> 00:33:20.361
Envy. well god, what about me what
00:33:20.494 --> 00:33:23.464
Well god, what about me what about my church?
00:33:23.597 --> 00:33:23.964
About my church? what word of encouragement
00:33:24.098 --> 00:33:24.632
What word of encouragement would you have pastors and
00:33:24.765 --> 00:33:26.867
Would you have pastors and ministry leaders out there who
00:33:27.001 --> 00:33:27.568
Ministry leaders out there who might be feeling that focus and
00:33:27.702 --> 00:33:30.705
Might be feeling that focus and just be faithful and obedient
00:33:30.838 --> 00:33:34.575
Just be faithful and obedient and this is a tough word be
00:33:34.709 --> 00:33:35.509
And this is a tough word be content.
00:33:35.643 --> 00:33:38.779
Content. whatever the scale of ministry
00:33:38.913 --> 00:33:39.513
Whatever the scale of ministry god has chosen for that pastor
00:33:39.647 --> 00:33:43.017
God has chosen for that pastor and being content with
00:33:43.150 --> 00:33:47.054
And being content with godliness there was great gain
00:33:47.188 --> 00:33:47.788
Godliness there was great gain and then you drain the of all
00:33:47.922 --> 00:33:50.358
And then you drain the of all of that covetousness god is
00:33:50.491 --> 00:33:51.058
Of that covetousness god is going to in eternity based on
00:33:51.192 --> 00:33:54.895
Going to in eternity based on our obedience and our
00:33:55.029 --> 00:33:55.496
Our obedience and our faithfulness right and some
00:33:55.629 --> 00:33:59.166
Faithfulness right and some people are for things that
00:33:59.300 --> 00:34:02.436
People are for things that would hurt them would hurt them
00:34:02.570 --> 00:34:06.073
Would hurt them would hurt them i think.
00:34:06.207 --> 00:34:09.944
I think. i think there's some things we
00:34:10.077 --> 00:34:10.711
I think there's some things we ask for we don't have the
00:34:10.845 --> 00:34:11.379
Ask for we don't have the character to sustain.
00:34:11.512 --> 00:34:11.979
Character to sustain. we we haven't gone through
00:34:12.113 --> 00:34:13.914
We we haven't gone through enough pain to sustain.
00:34:14.048 --> 00:34:14.548
Enough pain to sustain. we're not ready to ready to
00:34:14.682 --> 00:34:17.485
We're not ready to ready to sustain right?
00:34:17.618 --> 00:34:17.952
Sustain right? i think even right now
00:34:18.085 --> 00:34:18.552
I think even right now everything that we're stored
00:34:18.686 --> 00:34:21.222
Everything that we're stored and i think there's a level of
00:34:21.355 --> 00:34:21.956
And i think there's a level of pain and hardship and character
00:34:22.089 --> 00:34:25.192
Pain and hardship and character development that i had to go
00:34:25.326 --> 00:34:25.926
Development that i had to go through to be able to lead a at
00:34:26.060 --> 00:34:28.529
Through to be able to lead a at this size i would tell that
00:34:28.662 --> 00:34:29.296
This size i would tell that pastor be set set your
00:34:29.430 --> 00:34:36.203
Pastor be set set your affections on eternity in the

Things above and whatever god god intends the scope and the
00:34:39.740 --> 00:34:40.441

Like you have questions in your own mind when when you look at
00:49:33.485 --> 00:49:35.988
Own mind when when you look at the teachings of jesus and
00:49:36.121 --> 00:49:36.655
The teachings of jesus and particularly what what he said
00:49:36.789 --> 00:49:39.591
Particularly what what he said in matthew chapter five, i
00:49:39.725 --> 00:49:40.225
In matthew chapter five, i think you're running into
00:49:40.359 --> 00:49:40.893
Think you're running into problems with it.
00:49:41.026 --> 00:49:43.295
Problems with it. you know, can you divorce and
00:49:43.429 --> 00:49:44.163
You know, can you divorce and be remarried?
00:49:44.296 --> 00:49:47.199
Be remarried? many pastors in our modern age
00:49:47.332 --> 00:49:50.502
Many pastors in our modern age have said, you know, the church
00:49:50.636 --> 00:49:51.270
Have said, you know, the church needs to stand on issue.
00:49:51.403 --> 00:49:54.206
Needs to stand on issue. there's been so much divorce in
00:49:54.339 --> 00:49:55.140
There's been so much divorce in american culture.
00:49:55.274 --> 00:49:58.811
American culture. can we still hold to that
00:49:58.944 --> 00:49:59.578
Can we still hold to that standard?
00:49:59.711 --> 00:49:59.945
Standard? and they whatever sins you
00:50:00.078 --> 00:50:02.548
And they whatever sins you retain on earth are retained,
00:50:02.681 --> 00:50:05.984
Retain on earth are retained, forgive is forgiven in heaven.
00:50:06.118 --> 00:50:06.752
Forgive is forgiven in heaven. so.
00:50:06.885 --> 00:50:09.721
So. so can we change that?
00:50:09.855 --> 00:50:10.389
So can we change that? the problem is there's no
00:50:10.522 --> 00:50:13.525
The problem is there's no authority.
00:50:13.659 --> 00:50:13.926
Authority. so if you if you change if you
00:50:14.059 --> 00:50:17.830
So if you if you change if you change it, you know, how is
00:50:17.963 --> 00:50:18.497

There's been so there's been so much divorce and remarriage
00:50:21.533 --> 00:50:22.067
Much divorce and remarriage that you know, can we even hold
00:50:22.201 --> 00:50:25.437
That you know, can we even hold to the standard that jesus laid
00:50:25.571 --> 00:50:28.707
To the standard that jesus laid out for us all in matthew
00:50:28.841 --> 00:50:31.977
Out for us all in matthew chapter five?
00:50:32.110 --> 00:50:32.411
Chapter five? >> here's for you specifically
00:50:32.544 --> 00:50:35.547
>> here's for you specifically because you're asking the
00:50:35.681 --> 00:50:36.215
Because you're asking the question.
00:50:36.348 --> 00:50:36.582
Question. >> there's the paul standard
00:50:36.715 --> 00:50:39.751
>> there's the paul standard about marriage.
00:50:39.885 --> 00:50:40.219
About marriage. >> i'm talking about action.
00:50:40.352 --> 00:50:40.886
>> i'm talking about action. if doubt about it.
00:50:41.019 --> 00:50:44.490
If doubt about it. so whatever you do without is
00:50:44.623 --> 00:50:48.293
So whatever you do without is sin according to the apostle
00:50:48.427 --> 00:50:48.994
Sin according to the apostle paul.
00:50:49.127 --> 00:50:49.294
Paul. so faith getting into a
00:50:49.428 --> 00:50:52.097
So faith getting into a marriage with him with him then
00:50:52.231 --> 00:50:56.001
Marriage with him with him then you are going to be plagued
00:50:56.134 --> 00:50:56.702
You are going to be plagued with that doubt the rest of
00:50:56.835 --> 00:50:57.402
With that doubt the rest of your life your life whatever
00:50:57.536 --> 00:50:59.738
Your life your life whatever you can do in faith is not sin.
00:50:59.872 --> 00:51:00.572
You can do in faith is not sin. >>.
00:51:00.706 --> 00:51:03.208
>>. so you have to answer that
00:51:03.342 --> 00:51:03.976
So you have to answer that question.
00:51:04.109 --> 00:51:04.343
Question. i can't answer it for you.
00:51:04.476 --> 00:51:07.646
I can't answer it for you. the the biblical standard i
00:51:07.779 --> 00:51:11.116
The the biblical standard i think it's clear the current
00:51:11.250 --> 00:51:11.817
Think it's clear the current societal standard is very murky
00:51:11.950 --> 00:51:15.521
Societal standard is very murky and so how do we reconcile the
00:51:15.654 --> 00:51:19.224
And so how do we reconcile the two and reconcile the church?
00:51:19.358 --> 00:51:19.925
Two and reconcile the church? you know, is there condom
00:51:20.058 --> 00:51:23.562
You know, is there condom foundation now for those who
00:51:23.695 --> 00:51:24.229
Foundation now for those who are in christ jesus that have
00:51:24.363 --> 00:51:25.030
Are in christ jesus that have divorced and remarried?
00:51:25.163 --> 00:51:27.466
Divorced and remarried? i think the answer is clear no.
00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:28.233
I think the answer is clear no. but if you have doubts going
00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:31.336
But if you have doubts going into it i would encourage you
00:51:31.470 --> 00:51:32.070
Into it i would encourage you to pay to those doubts.
00:51:32.204 --> 00:51:35.173
To pay to those doubts. they're not going to leave just
00:51:35.307 --> 00:51:35.941
They're not going to leave just because you make a all right.
00:51:36.074 --> 00:51:38.577
Because you make a all right. >> this is from antonio and

The fire goes. and i think really it's like

And i think really it's like don't don't have a critical
00:52:05.604 --> 00:52:06.204
Don't don't have a critical spirit, the holy spirit.
00:52:06.338 --> 00:52:09.174
