A military term, it's an economic term.

It's an economic term. the christmas message is
00:01:02.756 --> 00:01:04.058

A message of peace on earth, good will toward men.
00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:07.027
Good will toward men. peace is the most misunderstood
00:01:07.094 --> 00:01:09.363
Peace is the most misunderstood word in the english language
00:01:09.430 --> 00:01:11.499
Word in the english language and certainly in the bible.
00:01:11.565 --> 00:01:13.734

Absolutely jesus was not born in december.
00:01:32.286 --> 00:01:34.221

Shone round about them, and they were greatly afraid.
00:01:41.395 --> 00:01:43.264
And they were greatly afraid. then the angel said unto them,
00:01:43.330 --> 00:01:45.232
Then the angel said unto them, 'do not be afraid, for behold,
00:01:45.299 --> 00:01:47.168
'do not be afraid, for behold, i bring to you good tidings
00:01:47.234 --> 00:01:48.769
I bring to you good tidings of great joy which
00:01:48.836 --> 00:01:49.937
Of great joy which will be to all people.

Who is christ the lord. and this will be
00:01:57.745 --> 00:01:58.445
And this will be a sign unto you:

This time of great trial to discover the peace of god
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.509
To discover the peace of god that surpasses
00:02:28.576 --> 00:02:29.310
That surpasses all understanding.
00:02:29.376 --> 00:02:31.111
All understanding. in jesus' name we pray,
00:02:31.178 --> 00:02:33.047
In jesus' name we pray, and all of god's children said,
00:02:33.113 --> 00:02:34.949
And all of god's children said, "amen."
00:02:35.015 --> 00:02:36.283

You may be seated. the question, what is peace?
00:02:38.619 --> 00:02:42.523
The question, what is peace? jesus said, "my peace
00:02:42.590 --> 00:02:43.857
Jesus said, "my peace i give unto you,
00:02:43.924 --> 00:02:45.059
I give unto you, not as the world gives,
00:02:45.125 --> 00:02:46.894
Not as the world gives, but such as i have,
00:02:46.961 --> 00:02:48.128
But such as i have, give i it unto you."
00:02:48.195 --> 00:02:49.697
Give i it unto you." jesus didn't say this from
00:02:49.763 --> 00:02:51.432
Jesus didn't say this from an ivy tower of detachment,
00:02:51.498 --> 00:02:53.334
An ivy tower of detachment, or in some shangri-la
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.202
Or in some shangri-la of total tranquility.
00:02:55.269 --> 00:02:57.104
Of total tranquility. he said it the night
00:02:57.171 --> 00:02:58.606

Before he was crucified. he knew he was living
00:03:00.774 --> 00:03:03.143
He knew he was living his last hours.
00:03:03.210 --> 00:03:04.578
His last hours. his point is god's peace
00:03:04.645 --> 00:03:06.380
His point is god's peace is peace in the worst storm

Jesus said, "do not think that i have come to bring peace.
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.348
I have come to bring peace. i have come to bring a sword."

I have come to bring a sword." a sword divides.
00:04:49.750 --> 00:04:52.052
A sword divides. it divides light from darkness.
00:04:52.119 --> 00:04:55.222
It divides light from darkness. it divides good from evil.
00:04:55.289 --> 00:04:58.025
It divides good from evil. it divides wheat from tares,
00:04:58.092 --> 00:05:00.527
It divides wheat from tares, it divides sheep from goats,
00:05:00.594 --> 00:05:03.564
It divides sheep from goats, it divides light from darkness,
00:05:03.630 --> 00:05:05.566

Sorta shoot a shot gun. you either are or you're not.
00:05:21.181 --> 00:05:24.418
You either are or you're not. you are a servant
00:05:24.485 --> 00:05:25.419
You are a servant of jesus christ or a slave
00:05:25.486 --> 00:05:27.921

There is no such thing as a casual christian.
00:05:36.530 --> 00:05:40.033
As a casual christian. you might as well talk about a
00:05:40.100 --> 00:05:41.368
You might as well talk about a kosher hog or a heavenly devil.
00:05:41.435 --> 00:05:47.141
Kosher hog or a heavenly devil. jesus is either lord of all
00:05:47.207 --> 00:05:51.378
Jesus is either lord of all or he's not lord at all.
00:05:51.445 --> 00:05:54.181
Or he's not lord at all. the text is, "glory to god

Of universal peace. the word of god tells us
00:06:07.828 --> 00:06:09.496
The word of god tells us that the man without christ
00:06:09.563 --> 00:06:11.031
That the man without christ can never know peace.
00:06:11.098 --> 00:06:12.566
Can never know peace. peace is impossible
00:06:12.633 --> 00:06:14.868
Peace is impossible without god's approval.

Without god's approval. peace is not possible
00:06:17.371 --> 00:06:19.540
Peace is not possible without god's approval.
00:06:19.606 --> 00:06:21.275
Without god's approval. isaiah 57:20 reads,
00:06:21.341 --> 00:06:23.243
Isaiah 57:20 reads, "the wicked are like
00:06:23.310 --> 00:06:24.278
"the wicked are like the troubled sea that
00:06:24.344 --> 00:06:25.512
The troubled sea that cannot rest whose waters stir up
00:06:25.579 --> 00:06:28.115
Cannot rest whose waters stir up the mire and the dirt."
00:06:28.182 --> 00:06:29.883
The mire and the dirt." there is no peace, sayeth god,
00:06:29.950 --> 00:06:32.786
There is no peace, sayeth god, to the wicked.
00:06:32.853 --> 00:06:35.923
To the wicked. that's god's word.
00:06:35.989 --> 00:06:37.825
That's god's word. pretending to have peace
00:06:37.891 --> 00:06:39.626
Pretending to have peace and possessing peace
00:06:39.693 --> 00:06:41.562
And possessing peace are two different things.
00:06:41.628 --> 00:06:43.831
Are two different things. the message of peace without
00:06:43.897 --> 00:06:45.065
The message of peace without christ is a holiday hoax.
00:06:45.132 --> 00:06:48.235
Christ is a holiday hoax. the only reason
00:06:48.302 --> 00:06:48.902
The only reason to celebrate christmas
00:06:48.969 --> 00:06:50.637
To celebrate christmas is the birth of christ.
00:06:50.704 --> 00:06:52.539
[applause]
00:06:52.806 --> 00:06:59.346
It's been said before
00:06:59.880 --> 00:07:00.914
It's been said before and bears saying again,
00:07:00.981 --> 00:07:03.116
And bears saying again, jesus is the reason
00:07:03.183 --> 00:07:05.219
Jesus is the reason for the season.
00:07:05.285 --> 00:07:07.855
For the season. otherwise, christmas is a
00:07:07.921 --> 00:07:10.557
Otherwise, christmas is a gluttonous, idolatrous,
00:07:10.624 --> 00:07:13.393
Gluttonous, idolatrous, drunken, depressing,
00:07:13.460 --> 00:07:15.496
Drunken, depressing, economic nightmare wrapped
00:07:15.562 --> 00:07:18.565
Economic nightmare wrapped in tinsel and tylenol.
00:07:18.632 --> 00:07:21.502
In tinsel and tylenol. stupid.
00:07:21.568 --> 00:07:23.837
Stupid. that's what it is.
00:07:23.904 --> 00:07:25.672
That's what it is. the idea of universal peace
00:07:25.739 --> 00:07:27.107
The idea of universal peace for a christ-rejecting,
00:07:27.174 --> 00:07:28.475
For a christ-rejecting, god-hating,
00:07:28.542 --> 00:07:29.643
God-hating, pleasure loving world
00:07:29.710 --> 00:07:31.211
Pleasure loving world enslaved by greed
00:07:31.278 --> 00:07:32.980
Enslaved by greed and materialism, satanism,
00:07:33.046 --> 00:07:35.649
And materialism, satanism, secular humanism, antisemitism
00:07:35.716 --> 00:07:38.452
Secular humanism, antisemitism is an absolute force.
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.087
Is an absolute force. god will never give peace
00:07:40.153 --> 00:07:41.755
God will never give peace to that group of people.
00:07:41.822 --> 00:07:43.290
To that group of people. peace is the gift of god
00:07:43.357 --> 00:07:45.259
Peace is the gift of god and he only gives it to those
00:07:45.325 --> 00:07:46.927
And he only gives it to those who bow their knee
00:07:46.994 --> 00:07:48.695
Who bow their knee to jesus christ
00:07:48.762 --> 00:07:49.997
To jesus christ as savior and lord.
00:07:50.063 --> 00:07:51.598
As savior and lord. that's the road to peace.
00:07:51.665 --> 00:07:53.200
[applause]
00:07:53.534 --> 00:07:58.605
God demands absolute surrender.
00:07:59.172 --> 00:08:00.908
God demands absolute surrender. say that with me.
00:08:00.974 --> 00:08:02.075
Say that with me. "god demands
00:08:02.142 --> 00:08:03.243
"god demands absolute surrender."
00:08:03.310 --> 00:08:05.178
Absolute surrender." the bible says
00:08:05.245 --> 00:08:06.313
The bible says you are not your own.
00:08:06.380 --> 00:08:08.115
You are not your own. you were bought with a price.
00:08:08.181 --> 00:08:10.450
You were bought with a price. he that believeth has life,
00:08:10.517 --> 00:08:12.719
He that believeth has life, but he that believeth not
00:08:12.786 --> 00:08:14.555
But he that believeth not is dead already.
00:08:14.621 --> 00:08:17.224
Is dead already. so, if you don't know
00:08:17.291 --> 00:08:18.225
So, if you don't know jesus christ and you're
00:08:18.292 --> 00:08:19.393
Jesus christ and you're in this audience,
00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:20.127
In this audience, or you're watching
00:08:20.193 --> 00:08:21.495
Or you're watching by television,
00:08:21.562 --> 00:08:23.030
By television, god considers you dead.
00:08:23.096 --> 00:08:25.899
God considers you dead. you don't live until you come
00:08:25.966 --> 00:08:28.101
You don't live until you come to know jesus christ.
00:08:28.168 --> 00:08:29.836
To know jesus christ. jesus is lord,
00:08:29.903 --> 00:08:31.004
Jesus is lord, you're the servant.
00:08:31.071 --> 00:08:32.940
You're the servant. you're not your own.
00:08:33.006 --> 00:08:34.107
You're not your own. you were bought with a price,
00:08:34.174 --> 00:08:35.475
You were bought with a price, that's what's in this book.
00:08:35.542 --> 00:08:37.978
That's what's in this book. what about my will?
00:08:38.045 --> 00:08:39.379
What about my will? crucify it.
00:08:39.446 --> 00:08:41.014
Crucify it. bury it.
00:08:41.081 --> 00:08:42.282
Bury it. the bible says,
00:08:42.349 --> 00:08:43.317
The bible says, "not my will
00:08:43.383 --> 00:08:44.384
"not my will but thine be done."
00:08:44.451 --> 00:08:46.219
But thine be done." who are you to advise god?
00:08:46.286 --> 00:08:50.023
Who are you to advise god? "what about my possessions?"
00:08:50.090 --> 00:08:51.825
"what about my possessions?" they all belong to the lord.
00:08:51.892 --> 00:08:55.028
They all belong to the lord. your house, your car,
00:08:55.095 --> 00:08:55.696
Your house, your car, your condo, your ranch,
00:08:55.762 --> 00:08:57.164
Your condo, your ranch, your lake house,
00:08:57.230 --> 00:08:57.864
Your lake house, your arnold palmer golf clubs,
00:08:57.931 --> 00:09:00.067
Your arnold palmer golf clubs, and anything else you've got.
00:09:00.133 --> 00:09:01.868
And anything else you've got. all of that's god's property.
00:09:01.935 --> 00:09:04.571
All of that's god's property. when you die, he has it.
00:09:04.638 --> 00:09:06.607
When you die, he has it. he had it before you got it.
00:09:06.673 --> 00:09:09.076
He had it before you got it. "well, what about my future?"
00:09:09.142 --> 00:09:10.077
"well, what about my future?" without christ as
00:09:10.143 --> 00:09:11.345
Without christ as savior and lord,
00:09:11.411 --> 00:09:11.845
Savior and lord, you don't really have a future.
00:09:11.912 --> 00:09:14.214
You don't really have a future. america has been introduced
00:09:14.281 --> 00:09:15.482
America has been introduced lately to what i call
00:09:15.549 --> 00:09:16.683
Lately to what i call cafeteria christianity.
00:09:16.750 --> 00:09:18.652
Cafeteria christianity. you take some of this
00:09:18.719 --> 00:09:19.553
You take some of this and some of that
00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:20.520
And some of that and other things that
00:09:20.587 --> 00:09:21.622
And other things that you don't like or doesn't
00:09:21.688 --> 00:09:23.256
You don't like or doesn't appeal to you, you reject it.
00:09:23.323 --> 00:09:28.829
Appeal to you, you reject it. all of this book is true
00:09:28.895 --> 00:09:31.398
All of this book is true or none of this book is true.
00:09:31.465 --> 00:09:33.500
[applause]
00:09:33.800 --> 00:09:39.706
You cannot have
00:09:40.007 --> 00:09:40.607
You cannot have christ as savior
00:09:40.674 --> 00:09:42.342
Christ as savior and refuse him as lord.
00:09:42.409 --> 00:09:45.479
And refuse him as lord. you cannot have
00:09:45.545 --> 00:09:46.246
You cannot have the crown without the cross.
00:09:46.313 --> 00:09:49.182
The crown without the cross. you cannot have conquest without
00:09:49.249 --> 00:09:51.318
You cannot have conquest without conflict and controversy.
00:09:51.385 --> 00:09:54.454
Conflict and controversy. it all goes together.
00:09:54.521 --> 00:09:56.823
It all goes together. god is saying to the world,
00:09:56.890 --> 00:09:58.625
God is saying to the world, "peace is possible,
00:09:58.692 --> 00:10:00.360
"peace is possible, but not without me.
00:10:00.427 --> 00:10:03.964
But not without me. not without my son,"
00:10:04.031 --> 00:10:05.332
Not without my son," the lamb of god
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:05.966
The lamb of god that taketh away
00:10:06.033 --> 00:10:06.566
That taketh away the sins of the world,
00:10:06.633 --> 00:10:08.035
The sins of the world, that climbed a blood-soaked
00:10:08.101 --> 00:10:09.569
That climbed a blood-soaked summit at calvary
00:10:09.636 --> 00:10:10.837
Summit at calvary and defeated satan,
00:10:10.904 --> 00:10:12.472
And defeated satan, the adversary,
00:10:12.539 --> 00:10:13.173
The adversary, the father of lies
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:14.708
The father of lies and the accuser of the brethren.
00:10:14.775 --> 00:10:17.177
And the accuser of the brethren. the roaring lion seeking whom
00:10:17.244 --> 00:10:18.245
The roaring lion seeking whom he may devour has met
00:10:18.311 --> 00:10:20.914
He may devour has met the lion of the tribe of judah
00:10:20.981 --> 00:10:22.582
The lion of the tribe of judah and the terms demanded
00:10:22.649 --> 00:10:24.051
And the terms demanded at the cross were absolute
00:10:24.117 --> 00:10:25.752
At the cross were absolute surrender to the forces
00:10:25.819 --> 00:10:27.187
Surrender to the forces of death, hell, and the grave,
00:10:27.254 --> 00:10:29.790
Of death, hell, and the grave, disease, demons,
00:10:29.856 --> 00:10:31.358
Disease, demons, powers, principalities.
00:10:31.425 --> 00:10:33.760
Powers, principalities. when jesus is lord of your life,
00:10:33.827 --> 00:10:35.595
When jesus is lord of your life, you have authority that's way
00:10:35.662 --> 00:10:38.198
You have authority that's way beyond your pay scale
00:10:38.265 --> 00:10:39.533
Beyond your pay scale because nothing shall be
00:10:39.599 --> 00:10:41.902
Because nothing shall be impossible to you.

Tell your neighbors and tell the nations of the world
00:10:55.182 --> 00:10:56.850
The nations of the world that christ is

The mighty conqueror, christ is the prince of peace,

Christ is the prince of peace, christ is the lion
00:11:01.688 --> 00:11:03.023
Christ is the lion of the tribe of judah.

Of the tribe of judah. he gives the garments of praise
00:11:05.092 --> 00:11:06.693
He gives the garments of praise for the spirit of heaven
00:11:06.760 --> 00:11:07.561
For the spirit of heaven is the joy unspeakable

00:20:28.388 --> 00:20:29.522

So close, you couldn't
00:20:30.790 --> 00:20:32.592
So close, you couldn't tell one from the other.
00:20:32.659 --> 00:20:36.296
Tell one from the other. you could tell they hadn't been
00:20:36.362 --> 00:20:37.330
You could tell they hadn't been married very long.
00:20:37.397 --> 00:20:38.464
[laughter]
00:20:38.831 --> 00:20:41.367
If the love of a woman
00:20:43.303 --> 00:20:44.237
If the love of a woman can intoxicate a man
00:20:44.304 --> 00:20:45.605
Can intoxicate a man to such degree,
00:20:45.672 --> 00:20:47.373
To such degree, it is to our everlasting shame
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:49.309
It is to our everlasting shame that our hearts can be
00:20:49.375 --> 00:20:50.443
That our hearts can be so cold toward jesus christ
00:20:50.510 --> 00:20:52.545
So cold toward jesus christ who gave his life
00:20:52.612 --> 00:20:53.546
Who gave his life for our redemption.
00:20:53.613 --> 00:20:55.548
For our redemption. if he could stand among us
00:20:55.615 --> 00:20:56.849
If he could stand among us today grieved at
00:20:56.916 --> 00:20:58.451
Today grieved at the hardness of our heart,
00:20:58.518 --> 00:20:59.752
The hardness of our heart, would he say you have lost
00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:02.488
Would he say you have lost and left your first love?
00:21:02.555 --> 00:21:06.192
And left your first love? if we love jesus passionately,
00:21:06.259 --> 00:21:08.795
If we love jesus passionately, if we love jesus as
00:21:08.861 --> 00:21:10.063
If we love jesus as he deserves to be loved,
00:21:10.129 --> 00:21:12.231
He deserves to be loved, if we loved him as he loved us,
00:21:12.298 --> 00:21:15.068
If we loved him as he loved us, would not our hearts
00:21:15.134 --> 00:21:16.102
Would not our hearts burn within us?
00:21:16.169 --> 00:21:17.036
Burn within us? wouldn't there be
00:21:17.103 --> 00:21:17.837
Wouldn't there be a fire in our bones?
00:21:17.904 --> 00:21:19.005
A fire in our bones? a holy, burning passion
00:21:19.072 --> 00:21:21.140
A holy, burning passion to serve him and to please him
00:21:21.207 --> 00:21:23.343
To serve him and to please him above all else?
00:21:23.409 --> 00:21:25.011
Above all else? would our minds be worried
00:21:25.078 --> 00:21:26.512
Would our minds be worried about the perfect gift
00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:28.247
About the perfect gift under the christmas tree,
00:21:28.314 --> 00:21:29.749
Under the christmas tree, or would we grab the horns
00:21:29.816 --> 00:21:31.150
Or would we grab the horns of the altar and weep
00:21:31.217 --> 00:21:32.885
Of the altar and weep before the throne of god until
00:21:32.952 --> 00:21:34.921
Before the throne of god until revival comes to our nation,
00:21:34.987 --> 00:21:37.123

00:21:38.858 --> 00:21:40.893
And comes to our relatives? our nation is so saturated
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:42.762
Our nation is so saturated with sin and antisemitism.
00:21:42.829 --> 00:21:45.365
With sin and antisemitism. criminals are ruling

Criminals are ruling right now in this country.
00:21:47.433 --> 00:21:49.602
Right now in this country. we need a relationship with god

We need a relationship with god that has the power to change
00:21:53.773 --> 00:21:56.042
That has the power to change the course of this nature.
00:21:56.109 --> 00:21:58.378
