- They're committed to the callthat is upon their personal life
- 00:01:40.013 --> 00:01:41.514
- that is upon their personal lifeand upon their family.
- 00:01:41.514 --> 00:01:42.515
- and upon their family.They understand that
- 00:01:42.515 --> 00:01:44.450
- They understand thatour family has a call.
- 00:01:44.450 --> 00:01:46.586

- And because they're sold outand so committed,
- 00:01:57.530 --> 00:01:59.732
- and so committed,at times they find themselves
- 00:01:59.732 --> 00:02:02.702
- at times they find themselvesbeing at odds with
- 00:02:02.702 --> 00:02:06.639

- 00:02:10.710 --> 00:02:13.046
- The Apostle Paul said thatthere are three kinds of people
- 00:02:13.046 --> 00:02:14.614
- there are three kinds of peoplein 1 Corinthians 2
- 00:02:14.614 --> 00:02:16.716
- in 1 Corinthians 2and 1 Corinthians 3.
- 00:02:16.716 --> 00:02:17.750
- and 1 Corinthians 3.He said there are people
- 00:02:17.750 --> 00:02:19.552
- He said there are peoplewho are spiritual.
- 00:02:19.552 --> 00:02:21.621
- who are spiritual.They have a spiritual nature.

- They see everythingthrough spiritual eyes.
- 00:02:25.592 --> 00:02:28.628
- through spiritual eyes.They understand that there is
- 00:02:28.628 --> 00:02:30.630
- They understand that there isan unseen spiritual world
- 00:02:30.630 --> 00:02:32.665
- an unseen spiritual worldthat is going on out there.
- 00:02:32.665 --> 00:02:33.433
- that is going on out there.And when they have been
- 00:02:33.433 --> 00:02:34.934
- And when they have beenawakened, and born again,
- 00:02:34.934 --> 00:02:35.568
- awakened, and born again,and filled with
- 00:02:35.568 --> 00:02:36.336
- and filled withthe Holy Spirit,
- 00:02:36.336 --> 00:02:38.004
- the Holy Spirit,They have a spiritual nature,
- 00:02:38.004 --> 00:02:38.771
- They have a spiritual nature,that leads them
- 00:02:38.771 --> 00:02:40.173
- that leads themand guides them.
- 00:02:40.173 --> 00:02:41.541
- and guides them.And they have come under
- 00:02:41.541 --> 00:02:44.777
- And they have come underthe authority of that spirit.
- 00:02:44.777 --> 00:02:45.345
- the authority of that spirit.And then there's
- 00:02:45.345 --> 00:02:47.614
- And then there'sthe second chair.
- 00:02:47.614 --> 00:02:50.817

- 00:03:00.893 --> 00:03:03.062
- They go to church some.It's not really consistent,
- 00:03:03.062 --> 00:03:04.797
- It's not really consistent,but they would be glad
- 00:03:04.797 --> 00:03:05.298
- but they would be gladto tell you
- 00:03:05.298 --> 00:03:06.366
- to tell youthat they're a Christian.
- 00:03:06.366 --> 00:03:07.667
- that they're a Christian.And they are.
- 00:03:07.667 --> 00:03:10.036
- And they are.And they attend church some.
- 00:03:10.036 --> 00:03:12.672
- And they attend church some.But they live a distant life
- 00:03:12.672 --> 00:03:14.307
- But they live a distant lifefrom the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 00:03:14.307 --> 00:03:14.841
- from the Lord Jesus Christ.If they were
- 00:03:14.841 --> 00:03:17.076
- If they wereto be totally honest,
- 00:03:17.076 --> 00:03:19.445
- to be totally honest,they would say Jesus
- 00:03:19.445 --> 00:03:21.080
- they would say Jesusis more of an acquaintance
- 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.783
- is more of an acquaintancethan He is a relationship.
- 00:03:23.783 --> 00:03:25.718
- than He is a relationship.That I have an acquaintance
- 00:03:25.718 --> 00:03:27.787
- That I have an acquaintancewith Him once every week,
- 00:03:27.787 --> 00:03:29.555
- with Him once every week,or maybe once every two weeks.
- 00:03:29.555 --> 00:03:30.523
- or maybe once every two weeks.I'll go to church.
- 00:03:30.523 --> 00:03:31.457
- I'll go to church.I'll think about Him,
- 00:03:31.457 --> 00:03:31.991
- I'll think about Him,hear about Him,
- 00:03:31.991 --> 00:03:33.926
- hear about Him,but that's pretty much it.
- 00:03:33.926 --> 00:03:35.795
- but that's pretty much it.That's about all that we have.
- 00:03:35.795 --> 00:03:36.963
- That's about all that we have.The second chair
- 00:03:36.963 --> 00:03:40.266
- The second chairis the chair of compromise.
- 00:03:40.266 --> 00:03:43.503

- The first chairis the chair of commitment.
- 00:03:44.270 --> 00:03:45.004
- is the chair of commitment.The first chair is the chair
- 00:03:45.004 --> 00:03:46.906
- The first chair is the chairof commitment, and it's --
- 00:03:46.906 --> 00:03:48.174
- of commitment, and it's --the person in it has
- 00:03:48.174 --> 00:03:49.876
- the person in it hasa spiritual nature.
- 00:03:49.876 --> 00:03:51.411
- a spiritual nature.But the second person
- 00:03:51.411 --> 00:03:52.745
- But the second personin the second chair --
- 00:03:52.745 --> 00:03:54.380
- in the second chair --the chair of compromise --
- 00:03:54.380 --> 00:03:56.883
- the chair of compromise --has a carnal nature,
- 00:03:56.883 --> 00:03:57.950
- has a carnal nature,the Apostle Paul said
- 00:03:57.950 --> 00:04:00.486
- the Apostle Paul saidin 1 Corinthians 2.
- 00:04:00.486 --> 00:04:01.454
- in 1 Corinthians 2.And then lastly,
- 00:04:01.454 --> 00:04:03.056
- And then lastly,there's the person
- 00:04:03.056 --> 00:04:06.025
- there's the personin the third chair,
- 00:04:06.025 --> 00:04:08.861
- in the third chair,and it's the seat of conflict.
- 00:04:08.861 --> 00:04:10.997
- and it's the seat of conflict.The people of conflict.
- 00:04:10.997 --> 00:04:13.132
- The people of conflict.They are unsaved.
- 00:04:13.132 --> 00:04:14.701
- They are unsaved.They're unchurched.
- 00:04:14.701 --> 00:04:15.535
- They're unchurched.Listen.
- 00:04:15.535 --> 00:04:16.436
- Listen.And they're uninterested
- 00:04:16.436 --> 00:04:18.137
- And they're uninterestedin God.
- 00:04:18.137 --> 00:04:18.838
- in God.The Bible said
- 00:04:18.838 --> 00:04:21.040
- The Bible saidthey're in a natural state.
- 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.175
- they're in a natural state.Paul uses all three of these
- 00:04:22.175 --> 00:04:24.344
- Paul uses all three of theseto describe people.
- 00:04:24.344 --> 00:04:26.479
- to describe people.Spiritual, carnal,
- 00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:28.314
- Spiritual, carnal,fleshly, worldly.
- 00:04:28.314 --> 00:04:29.582
- fleshly, worldly.And then natural,
- 00:04:29.582 --> 00:04:30.650
- And then natural,meaning they've only
- 00:04:30.650 --> 00:04:33.086
- meaning they've onlybeen born once.
- 00:04:33.086 --> 00:04:35.621
- been born once.They have never been born again.
- 00:04:35.621 --> 00:04:37.190
- They have never been born again.They are unchurched.
- 00:04:37.190 --> 00:04:38.825
- They are unchurched.They are unsaved.
- 00:04:38.825 --> 00:04:42.362
- They are unsaved.They're uninterested in God.
- 00:04:42.362 --> 00:04:43.463
- They're uninterested in God.They believe there's a God
- 00:04:43.463 --> 00:04:46.165
- They believe there's a Godsomewhere out there.
- 00:04:46.165 --> 00:04:48.434
- somewhere out there.Their world view is one of --
- 00:04:48.434 --> 00:04:49.535
- Their world view is one of --that is humanistic,
- 00:04:49.535 --> 00:04:52.505
- that is humanistic,and maybe even atheist.
- 00:04:52.505 --> 00:04:54.140
- and maybe even atheist.Or, you know,
- 00:04:54.140 --> 00:04:56.209
- Or, you know,they don't have any feelings,
- 00:04:56.209 --> 00:04:57.310
- they don't have any feelings,or they believe that
- 00:04:57.310 --> 00:04:59.946
- or they believe thatall religions lead to Heaven,
- 00:04:59.946 --> 00:05:02.215
- all religions lead to Heaven,and all religions are the same,
- 00:05:02.215 --> 00:05:03.916
- and all religions are the same,and all the gods
- 00:05:03.916 --> 00:05:05.118
- and all the godsthat people worship --
- 00:05:05.118 --> 00:05:05.885
- that people worship --it's all one,
- 00:05:05.885 --> 00:05:06.552
- it's all one,and it doesn't matter
- 00:05:06.552 --> 00:05:10.923
- and it doesn't matterwhat path you take to get there.
- 00:05:10.923 --> 00:05:11.891
- what path you take to get there.So I want you to get it now.

- but they don't necessarilywanna live the Word.
- 00:05:39.252 --> 00:05:40.286
- wanna live the Word.So they live a life
- 00:05:40.286 --> 00:05:42.655
- So they live a lifeof compromise.
- 00:05:42.655 --> 00:05:43.322

- 00:05:59.705 --> 00:06:02.341
- That second personknows the Bible,
- 00:06:02.341 --> 00:06:03.075
- knows the Bible,but there's a difference
- 00:06:03.075 --> 00:06:04.577
- but there's a differencebetween the first chair
- 00:06:04.577 --> 00:06:06.946
- between the first chairand the second chair
- 00:06:06.946 --> 00:06:09.182
- and the second chairbecause they're not committed
- 00:06:09.182 --> 00:06:12.618
- because they're not committedto living the Bible.
- 00:06:12.618 --> 00:06:14.520
- to living the Bible.The third chair
- 00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:15.388
- The third chairdoes not confess
- 00:06:15.388 --> 00:06:17.957
- does not confessto be a Christian.
- 00:06:17.957 --> 00:06:19.659
- to be a Christian.The person in that chair
- 00:06:19.659 --> 00:06:20.393
- The person in that chairdoesn't walk
- 00:06:20.393 --> 00:06:24.263
- doesn't walkin a relationship with God.
- 00:06:24.263 --> 00:06:26.866
- in a relationship with God.They're in a natural state.
- 00:06:26.866 --> 00:06:28.134
- They're in a natural state.There's a spiritual state,
- 00:06:28.134 --> 00:06:29.368
- There's a spiritual state,a carnal state,
- 00:06:29.368 --> 00:06:32.772
- a carnal state,and a natural state.
- 00:06:32.772 --> 00:06:36.075
- and a natural state.And you're in one of three
- 00:06:36.075 --> 00:06:38.044
- And you're in one of threeof these chairs.
- 00:06:38.044 --> 00:06:39.846
- of these chairs.When I think about these chairs
- 00:06:39.846 --> 00:06:40.813
- When I think about these chairsand every one of you
- 00:06:40.813 --> 00:06:41.814
- and every one of youthat are hearing me --
- 00:06:41.814 --> 00:06:44.884
- that are hearing me --including myself --
- 00:06:44.884 --> 00:06:45.418
- including myself --I couldn't help
- 00:06:45.418 --> 00:06:47.987
- I couldn't helpbut think of Joshua
- 00:06:47.987 --> 00:06:48.654
- but think of Joshuaand how committed
- 00:06:48.654 --> 00:06:50.823
- and how committedhe was to the Lord.
- 00:06:50.823 --> 00:06:52.625
- he was to the Lord.The Bible said that Joshua
- 00:06:52.625 --> 00:06:53.659
- The Bible said that Joshuathis day stood
- 00:06:53.659 --> 00:06:54.727
- this day stoodbefore the people.
- 00:06:54.727 --> 00:06:56.429
- before the people.And he said, I have wholly
- 00:06:56.429 --> 00:06:59.065
- And he said, I have whollycommitted myself to the Lord.
- 00:06:59.065 --> 00:07:00.266
- committed myself to the Lord.He said, I have wholly
- 00:07:00.266 --> 00:07:02.034
- He said, I have whollyfollowed after the Lord
- 00:07:02.034 --> 00:07:03.503
- followed after the Lordwith all of my heart.
- 00:07:03.503 --> 00:07:04.504
- with all of my heart.I have completely --
- 00:07:04.504 --> 00:07:05.571
- I have completely --I used to preach a sermon
- 00:07:05.571 --> 00:07:06.372
- I used to preach a sermonwhen I was an evangelist.
- 00:07:06.372 --> 00:07:07.874
- when I was an evangelist.There's somewhere in Joshua
- 00:07:07.874 --> 00:07:08.508
- There's somewhere in Joshuawhere he says --
- 00:07:08.508 --> 00:07:09.876
- where he says --the Bible says of Joshua,
- 00:07:09.876 --> 00:07:11.744
- the Bible says of Joshua,he left nothing undone
- 00:07:11.744 --> 00:07:13.713
- he left nothing undonethat God told him to do.
- 00:07:13.713 --> 00:07:14.680
- that God told him to do.There was something about him
- 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.015
- There was something about himthat was so committed.
- 00:07:16.015 --> 00:07:16.616
- that was so committed.He was sitting
- 00:07:16.616 --> 00:07:18.017
- He was sittingin a seat of commitment,
- 00:07:18.017 --> 00:07:20.486
- in a seat of commitment,and he left nothing undone
- 00:07:20.486 --> 00:07:21.654
- and he left nothing undonethat God told him to do.
- 00:07:21.654 --> 00:07:23.155
- that God told him to do.Completely obedient.
- 00:07:23.155 --> 00:07:25.424
- Completely obedient.Completely intimate and walking
- 00:07:25.424 --> 00:07:27.593
- Completely intimate and walkingin a committed relationship
- 00:07:27.593 --> 00:07:29.462
- in a committed relationshipto Jesus Christ.
- 00:07:29.462 --> 00:07:30.930
- to Jesus Christ.But then you move over.
- 00:07:30.930 --> 00:07:31.364
- But then you move over.And he said
- 00:07:31.364 --> 00:07:33.566
- And he saidto the people that day,
- 00:07:33.566 --> 00:07:36.168
- to the people that day,you choose who you will follow.
- 00:07:36.168 --> 00:07:37.837
- you choose who you will follow.But as for me and my house,
- 00:07:37.837 --> 00:07:39.171
- But as for me and my house,we're gonna serve the Lord.
- 00:07:39.171 --> 00:07:40.306
- we're gonna serve the Lord.And the next generation
- 00:07:40.306 --> 00:07:42.341
- And the next generationlooked at him and gave verbiage.
- 00:07:42.341 --> 00:07:43.609
- looked at him and gave verbiage.Yes, we will follow
- 00:07:43.609 --> 00:07:45.211
- Yes, we will followthe Lord like you.
- 00:07:45.211 --> 00:07:45.912
- the Lord like you.But when he died,
- 00:07:45.912 --> 00:07:46.879
- But when he died,the Bible said
- 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.281
- the Bible saidthey didn't do what God
- 00:07:48.281 --> 00:07:49.248
- they didn't do what Godtold 'em to do.
- 00:07:49.248 --> 00:07:50.616
- told 'em to do.They didn't drive the enemy
- 00:07:50.616 --> 00:07:51.751
- They didn't drive the enemyout of the land.
- 00:07:51.751 --> 00:07:54.153
- out of the land.They co-existed with the enemy.
- 00:07:54.153 --> 00:07:55.321
- They co-existed with the enemy.They intermarried
- 00:07:55.321 --> 00:07:56.589
- They intermarriedwith the enemy,
- 00:07:56.589 --> 00:07:58.624
- with the enemy,thereby taking on their gods
- 00:07:58.624 --> 00:07:59.825
- thereby taking on their godsand their idols.
- 00:07:59.825 --> 00:08:02.128
- and their idols.And suddenly, you move
- 00:08:02.128 --> 00:08:03.029
- And suddenly, you movefrom the first seat
- 00:08:03.029 --> 00:08:04.330
- from the first seatof a generation
- 00:08:04.330 --> 00:08:06.165
- of a generationthat's committed to God,
- 00:08:06.165 --> 00:08:07.700
- that's committed to God,consecrated to God,
- 00:08:07.700 --> 00:08:10.269
- consecrated to God,to a second seat of a generation
- 00:08:10.269 --> 00:08:12.605
- to a second seat of a generationthat is compromising.
- 00:08:12.605 --> 00:08:13.539
- that is compromising.Mixing a little
- 00:08:13.539 --> 00:08:14.740
- Mixing a littleof this and that.
- 00:08:14.740 --> 00:08:17.276
- of this and that.And suddenly you have idols.
- 00:08:17.276 --> 00:08:18.811
- And suddenly you have idols.The Bible actually says
- 00:08:18.811 --> 00:08:21.447
- The Bible actually saysthat they were serving idols
- 00:08:21.447 --> 00:08:25.418
- that they were serving idolsand feared the Lord.
- 00:08:25.418 --> 00:08:30.556
- and feared the Lord.And then you move into Judges 2.
- 00:08:30.556 --> 00:08:33.225
- And then you move into Judges 2.And this is all the same family.
- 00:08:33.225 --> 00:08:35.194
- And this is all the same family.And it says and there arose
- 00:08:35.194 --> 00:08:37.730
- And it says and there aroseanother generation
- 00:08:37.730 --> 00:08:41.100
- another generationthat knew not God
- 00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:44.804
- that knew not Godnor the works of God.
- 00:08:44.804 --> 00:08:45.571
- nor the works of God.They were sitting
- 00:08:45.571 --> 00:08:47.607
- They were sittingin the seat of conflict.
- 00:08:47.607 --> 00:08:49.575
- in the seat of conflict.This can happen to our families
- 00:08:49.575 --> 00:08:50.643
- This can happen to our familiesif we're not careful.
- 00:08:50.643 --> 00:08:52.211
- if we're not careful.That's why it's so important
- 00:08:52.211 --> 00:08:53.879
- That's why it's so importantthat we set the pace
- 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:54.847
- that we set the paceof our family
- 00:08:54.847 --> 00:08:58.184
- of our familyand be committed to God.
- 00:08:58.184 --> 00:09:02.088
- and be committed to God.And it happened to Joshua.
- 00:09:02.088 --> 00:09:04.523
- And it happened to Joshua.They struck a compromise.
- 00:09:04.523 --> 00:09:05.958
- They struck a compromise.They moved from commitment
- 00:09:05.958 --> 00:09:07.693
- They moved from commitmentto compromise.
- 00:09:07.693 --> 00:09:09.962
- to compromise.They were called God's people,
- 00:09:09.962 --> 00:09:10.529
- They were called God's people,but they were not
- 00:09:10.529 --> 00:09:12.398
- but they were notin a relationship with Him.
- 00:09:12.398 --> 00:09:14.333
- in a relationship with Him.He was an acquaintance.
- 00:09:14.333 --> 00:09:15.334
- He was an acquaintance.I wonder how many people
- 00:09:15.334 --> 00:09:17.136
- I wonder how many peopleI'm preaching to today.
- 00:09:17.136 --> 00:09:18.771
- I'm preaching to today.I'm not naive.
- 00:09:18.771 --> 00:09:19.372
- I'm not naive.I understand
- 00:09:19.372 --> 00:09:20.539
- I understandthat there's a battle
- 00:09:20.539 --> 00:09:23.342
- that there's a battlefor our souls and our minds.
- 00:09:23.342 --> 00:09:24.410
- for our souls and our minds.And the enemy would love for you
- 00:09:24.410 --> 00:09:26.145
- And the enemy would love for youto just sit in this seat
- 00:09:26.145 --> 00:09:26.545
- to just sit in this seatthe rest
- 00:09:26.545 --> 00:09:29.215
- the restof your Christian experience
- 00:09:29.215 --> 00:09:31.017
- of your Christian experienceand compromise.
- 00:09:31.017 --> 00:09:33.853
- and compromise.More, and more, and more.
- 00:09:33.853 --> 00:09:34.553
- More, and more, and more.But understand
- 00:09:34.553 --> 00:09:38.224
- But understandthat it affects generations.
- 00:09:38.224 --> 00:09:39.659
- that it affects generations.You see, when you understand
- 00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:41.093
- You see, when you understandwhat I'm preaching,
- 00:09:41.093 --> 00:09:43.863
- what I'm preaching,it will become clear to you
- 00:09:43.863 --> 00:09:46.966
- it will become clear to youthat if you were truthful -
- 00:09:46.966 --> 00:09:47.833
- that if you were truthful -truthful about
- 00:09:47.833 --> 00:09:48.768
- truthful aboutyour relationship
- 00:09:48.768 --> 00:09:50.803
- your relationshipwith Jesus Christ -
- 00:09:50.803 --> 00:09:51.971
- with Jesus Christ -many, I'm afraid,
- 00:09:51.971 --> 00:09:53.005
- many, I'm afraid,would describe it
- 00:09:53.005 --> 00:09:55.241
- would describe itas an acquaintance,
- 00:09:55.241 --> 00:09:58.444
- as an acquaintance,not as a living, vital,
- 00:09:58.444 --> 00:10:01.947
- not as a living, vital,intimate relationship.
- 00:10:01.947 --> 00:10:02.682
- intimate relationship.And then I think about
- 00:10:02.682 --> 00:10:07.253
- And then I think aboutthis third seat.
- 00:10:07.253 --> 00:10:09.922
- this third seat.There's no God in the house.
- 00:10:09.922 --> 00:10:11.991
- There's no God in the house.This describes this generation.
- 00:10:11.991 --> 00:10:13.726
- This describes this generation.They get up on Sunday morning,
- 00:10:13.726 --> 00:10:15.294
- They get up on Sunday morning,and it never crosses their mind
- 00:10:15.294 --> 00:10:18.431
- and it never crosses their mindwe should even go to church.
- 00:10:18.431 --> 00:10:19.598
- we should even go to church.Do you know how many people
- 00:10:19.598 --> 00:10:22.201
- Do you know how many peoplewill get up today,
- 00:10:22.201 --> 00:10:23.369
- will get up today,and Sunday is not even
- 00:10:23.369 --> 00:10:26.305
- and Sunday is not evenconsidered the Lord's day?
- 00:10:26.305 --> 00:10:27.540
- considered the Lord's day?It's considered cut
- 00:10:27.540 --> 00:10:28.641
- It's considered cutthe grass day,
- 00:10:28.641 --> 00:10:31.277
- the grass day,or be good to yourself day,
- 00:10:31.277 --> 00:10:34.480
- or be good to yourself day,or go to the grocery store day;
- 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.717
- or go to the grocery store day;God's nothing to them.
- 00:10:37.717 --> 00:10:39.552
- God's nothing to them.And we have a generation that is
- 00:10:39.552 --> 00:10:43.422
- And we have a generation that isliving and sitting in this seat
- 00:10:43.422 --> 00:10:45.858
- living and sitting in this seatNow listen to this.
- 00:10:45.858 --> 00:10:47.393
- Now listen to this.These three chairs
- 00:10:47.393 --> 00:10:49.428
- These three chairsspeak of how each person
- 00:10:49.428 --> 00:10:50.563
- speak of how each personin each chair
- 00:10:50.563 --> 00:10:52.798
- in each chairrelates to the world.
- 00:10:52.798 --> 00:10:53.799
- relates to the world.The person sitting
- 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.269
- The person sittingin the first chair of commitment
- 00:10:57.269 --> 00:10:58.804
- in the first chair of commitmenthas a value system
- 00:10:58.804 --> 00:11:01.307
- has a value systemthat is at odds, many times,
- 00:11:01.307 --> 00:11:02.241
- that is at odds, many times,with the world.
- 00:11:02.241 --> 00:11:04.510
- with the world.They find themselves feeling
- 00:11:04.510 --> 00:11:07.480
- They find themselves feelingalmost different and --
- 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.881
- almost different and --well, no doubt different.
- 00:11:08.881 --> 00:11:12.318
- well, no doubt different.And almost outdated
- 00:11:12.318 --> 00:11:15.187
- And almost outdatedbecause you feel at odds
- 00:11:15.187 --> 00:11:17.490
- because you feel at oddswith the way the world talks.
- 00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:19.024
- with the way the world talks.The filth of the songs.
- 00:11:19.024 --> 00:11:20.459
- The filth of the songs.The uncleanness.
- 00:11:20.459 --> 00:11:21.861
- The uncleanness.There's no modesty.
- 00:11:21.861 --> 00:11:23.095
- There's no modesty.There's nothing.
- 00:11:23.095 --> 00:11:24.096
- There's nothing.And you find yourself,
- 00:11:24.096 --> 00:11:25.531
- And you find yourself,when you're committed to God,
- 00:11:25.531 --> 00:11:27.500
- when you're committed to God,many times at odds
- 00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:30.369
- many times at oddswith the values of the world.
- 00:11:30.369 --> 00:11:31.103
- with the values of the world.And, by the way,
- 00:11:31.103 --> 00:11:35.574
- And, by the way,if you don't ever feel this --
- 00:11:35.574 --> 00:11:36.609
- if you don't ever feel this --if you fit in
- 00:11:36.609 --> 00:11:39.712
- if you fit inwith that whole
- 00:11:39.712 --> 00:11:41.447
- with that wholenasty world out there,
- 00:11:41.447 --> 00:11:44.150
- nasty world out there,and you never feel at odds,
- 00:11:44.150 --> 00:11:46.652
- and you never feel at odds,something's wrong.
- 00:11:46.652 --> 00:11:51.457
- something's wrong.Truth and morality matter to you
- 00:11:51.457 --> 00:11:54.393
- Truth and morality matter to youif you're in that first seat.
- 00:11:54.393 --> 00:11:56.228
- if you're in that first seat.They're saved.
- 00:11:56.228 --> 00:11:57.163
- They're saved.They love the Lord.
- 00:11:57.163 --> 00:11:58.798
- They love the Lord.They're committed.
- 00:11:58.798 --> 00:11:59.231
- They're committed.But the person
- 00:11:59.231 --> 00:12:01.066
- But the personin the second chair --
- 00:12:01.066 --> 00:12:03.135
- in the second chair --the chair of compromise --
- 00:12:03.135 --> 00:12:04.170
- the chair of compromise --they know the Bible,
- 00:12:04.170 --> 00:12:05.905
- they know the Bible,but their career
- 00:12:05.905 --> 00:12:06.705
- but their careeris more important
- 00:12:06.705 --> 00:12:10.409
- is more importantthan their calling.
- 00:12:10.409 --> 00:12:11.844
- than their calling.And if you talk to them,
- 00:12:11.844 --> 00:12:14.413
- And if you talk to them,they never talk about the Lord.
- 00:12:14.413 --> 00:12:16.582
- they never talk about the Lord.They never talk about God.
- 00:12:16.582 --> 00:12:18.017
- They never talk about God.They talk about their money.
- 00:12:18.017 --> 00:12:19.985
- They talk about their money.They talk about material things.
- 00:12:19.985 --> 00:12:21.253
- They talk about material things.They talk about going here
- 00:12:21.253 --> 00:12:22.221
- They talk about going hereand doing that.
- 00:12:22.221 --> 00:12:23.856
- and doing that.But it's never really a heart
- 00:12:23.856 --> 00:12:27.259
- But it's never really a heartthat's captured and committed.
- 00:12:27.259 --> 00:12:28.928
- that's captured and committed.It's just compromise.
- 00:12:28.928 --> 00:12:30.963
- It's just compromise.They love the Lord,
- 00:12:30.963 --> 00:12:31.664
- They love the Lord,but they're living
- 00:12:31.664 --> 00:12:36.268
- but they're livinga compromised, carnal life.
- 00:12:36.268 --> 00:12:38.871
- a compromised, carnal life.The person in the third chair
- 00:12:38.871 --> 00:12:44.877
- The person in the third chairis at odds with God.
- 00:12:44.877 --> 00:12:47.146
- is at odds with God.They fit right in with a culture
- 00:12:47.146 --> 00:12:50.316
- They fit right in with a culturethat says gay marriage is right.
- 00:12:50.316 --> 00:12:52.585
- that says gay marriage is right.They fit right in with a culture
- 00:12:52.585 --> 00:12:54.153
- They fit right in with a culturethat says abortion --
- 00:12:54.153 --> 00:12:56.021
- that says abortion --even in the ninth month,
- 00:12:56.021 --> 00:12:57.690
- even in the ninth month,late term abortion --
- 00:12:57.690 --> 00:13:00.192
- late term abortion --they cheer, and they laugh.
- 00:13:00.192 --> 00:13:01.927
- they cheer, and they laugh.How do we get this way
- 00:13:01.927 --> 00:13:03.329
- How do we get this wayin a generation?
- 00:13:03.329 --> 00:13:05.865
- in a generation?And if you're scared to clap,
- 00:13:05.865 --> 00:13:07.233
- And if you're scared to clap,I'll clap for you.
- 00:13:07.233 --> 00:13:08.634
- I'll clap for you.You pitiful little --
- 00:13:08.634 --> 00:13:11.070
- You pitiful little --if we can't speak up for a baby,
- 00:13:11.070 --> 00:13:13.606
- if we can't speak up for a baby,what have we come to?
- 00:13:13.606 --> 00:13:15.507
- what have we come to?What have we come to?
- 00:13:15.507 --> 00:13:18.143
- What have we come to?A living, breathing baby
- 00:13:18.143 --> 00:13:21.647
- A living, breathing babyin the ninth month?
- 00:13:21.647 --> 00:13:23.215
- in the ninth month?I will not be silent,
- 00:13:23.215 --> 00:13:25.451
- I will not be silent,nor will this church be silent.
- 00:13:25.451 --> 00:13:28.053
- nor will this church be silent.We must speak up.
- 00:13:28.053 --> 00:13:29.688
- We must speak up.It's not a political issue.
- 00:13:29.688 --> 00:13:31.991
- It's not a political issue.It is a Bible issue.
- 00:13:31.991 --> 00:13:33.826
- It is a Bible issue.And God's word is right,
- 00:13:33.826 --> 00:13:35.561
- And God's word is right,and I will not be in the seat
- 00:13:35.561 --> 00:13:38.898
- But we have a generation
- 00:13:44.770 --> 00:13:46.105
- But we have a generationthat is, and we have churches
- 00:13:46.105 --> 00:13:48.607
- that is, and we have churchesthat have moved from commitment
- 00:13:48.607 --> 00:13:49.541
- that have moved from commitmentto compromise.
- 00:13:49.541 --> 00:13:53.212
- to compromise.To little mousy preachers
- 00:13:53.212 --> 00:13:56.115
- To little mousy preacherswho sit real quiet
- 00:13:56.115 --> 00:13:58.584
- who sit real quietand won't say one thing
- 00:13:58.584 --> 00:14:02.688
- and won't say one thingwhen the Bible is so clear.
- 00:14:02.688 --> 00:14:04.690
- when the Bible is so clear.Proverbs 6.
- 00:14:04.690 --> 00:14:07.459
- Proverbs 6.Six things God hates.
- 00:14:07.459 --> 00:14:11.530
- Six things God hates.He that sheds innocent blood

- He that sheds innocent bloodis one of them.
- 00:14:12.898 --> 00:14:13.499
- is one of them.Clap now,
- 00:14:13.499 --> 00:14:15.768
- Clap now,and I'll keep preaching.
- 00:14:15.768 --> 00:14:16.502
- and I'll keep preaching.He loves people
- 00:14:16.502 --> 00:14:19.405
- He loves peoplewho've had an abortion.
- 00:14:19.405 --> 00:14:20.839
- who've had an abortion.He forgives.
- 00:14:20.839 --> 00:14:22.141
- He forgives.He cleanses.
- 00:14:22.141 --> 00:14:22.975
- He cleanses.But we must
- 00:14:22.975 --> 00:14:30.883
- But we mustnot ever feel something in us
- 00:14:30.883 --> 00:14:32.217
- not ever feel something in usthat can sit without
- 00:14:32.217 --> 00:14:37.323
- that can sit withoutany conflict
- 00:14:37.323 --> 00:14:43.629
- any conflictwith murder of babies.
- 00:14:43.629 --> 00:14:46.332
- with murder of babies.Now watch this.

- It's a responsibilityto go to church.
- 00:15:21.233 --> 00:15:22.735

- and when you moveinto this seat,
- 00:15:46.058 --> 00:15:47.092
- into this seat,it's a dangerous place
- 00:15:47.092 --> 00:15:50.529
- it's a dangerous placefor a believer.
- 00:15:50.529 --> 00:15:51.830
- for a believer.Because all of a sudden,
- 00:15:51.830 --> 00:15:52.431
- Because all of a sudden,when the enemy
- 00:15:52.431 --> 00:15:54.033

- Wake up.Wake up.
- 00:16:00.773 --> 00:16:02.608
- Wake up.I need a revival in my soul.
- 00:16:02.608 --> 00:16:06.111
- I need a revival in my soul.I can't believe that I did that.
- 00:16:06.111 --> 00:16:07.346
- I can't believe that I did that.I thought that.
- 00:16:07.346 --> 00:16:12.651
- I thought that.I entertained that.
- 00:16:12.651 --> 00:16:13.619
- I entertained that.That's what's gonna happen.
- 00:16:13.619 --> 00:16:14.987
- That's what's gonna happen.And something begins
- 00:16:14.987 --> 00:16:16.321
- And something beginsto bother the person
- 00:16:16.321 --> 00:16:17.823
- to bother the personwho's had an encounter
- 00:16:17.823 --> 00:16:18.624
- who's had an encounterwith Jesus.
- 00:16:18.624 --> 00:16:19.391
- with Jesus.Sooner or later,
- 00:16:19.391 --> 00:16:21.293
- Sooner or later,this person wakes up,
- 00:16:21.293 --> 00:16:22.027
- this person wakes up,and they realize --
- 00:16:22.027 --> 00:16:22.728
- and they realize --something's going on
- 00:16:22.728 --> 00:16:24.763
- something's going onwith my kids.
- 00:16:24.763 --> 00:16:25.631
- with my kids.I mean, the little flicker
- 00:16:25.631 --> 00:16:27.566
- I mean, the little flickerof fire is still there.
- 00:16:27.566 --> 00:16:28.267
- of fire is still there.It's not like it used
- 00:16:28.267 --> 00:16:30.202
- It's not like it usedto be when they were here,
- 00:16:30.202 --> 00:16:30.803
- to be when they were here,but there's a little
- 00:16:30.803 --> 00:16:32.337
- but there's a littlegodliness in 'em.
- 00:16:32.337 --> 00:16:34.239
- godliness in 'em.A little discernment in 'em.
- 00:16:34.239 --> 00:16:34.840
- A little discernment in 'em.Something's going on
- 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:36.041
- Something's going onwith my kids,
- 00:16:36.041 --> 00:16:38.410
- with my kids,and I've noticed
- 00:16:38.410 --> 00:16:39.878
- and I've noticedthat my kids have more
- 00:16:39.878 --> 00:16:42.848
- that my kids have morenon-Christian friends
- 00:16:42.848 --> 00:16:44.883
- non-Christian friendsthan Christian friends.
- 00:16:44.883 --> 00:16:45.284
- than Christian friends.I've noticed
- 00:16:45.284 --> 00:16:46.752
- I've noticedthat I have to drag 'em,
- 00:16:46.752 --> 00:16:48.787
- that I have to drag 'em,screaming and kicking,
- 00:16:48.787 --> 00:16:49.721
- screaming and kicking,to church now
- 00:16:49.721 --> 00:16:51.590
- to church nowthat they're 16 and 17.
- 00:16:51.590 --> 00:16:52.624
- that they're 16 and 17.And oh.
- 00:16:52.624 --> 00:16:53.859
- And oh.You know, I really --
- 00:16:53.859 --> 00:16:55.894
- You know, I really --secretly, I suspect
- 00:16:55.894 --> 00:16:56.962
- secretly, I suspectthat they're becoming
- 00:16:56.962 --> 00:16:58.263
- that they're becomingsexually active.
- 00:16:58.263 --> 00:16:59.264
- sexually active.I just sense it.
- 00:16:59.264 --> 00:17:00.165
- I just sense it.I feel funny about
- 00:17:00.165 --> 00:17:01.667
- I feel funny aboutthat boy she's with.
- 00:17:01.667 --> 00:17:02.968
- that boy she's with.Something's not right.
- 00:17:02.968 --> 00:17:04.369
- Something's not right.But I wanna wink.
- 00:17:04.369 --> 00:17:05.504
- But I wanna wink.I wanna look the other way
- 00:17:05.504 --> 00:17:06.572
- I wanna look the other way'cause I'm carnal,
- 00:17:06.572 --> 00:17:07.873
- 'cause I'm carnal,and I'm compromising.
- 00:17:07.873 --> 00:17:08.507
- and I'm compromising.I don't wanna have
- 00:17:08.507 --> 00:17:09.608
- I don't wanna haveto confront it.
- 00:17:09.608 --> 00:17:10.209
- to confront it.I'd just --
- 00:17:10.209 --> 00:17:11.477
- I'd just --I'll just let 'em.
- 00:17:11.477 --> 00:17:12.211
- I'll just let 'em.And I know they came in
- 00:17:12.211 --> 00:17:13.178
- And I know they came infrom that party
- 00:17:13.178 --> 00:17:13.912
- from that partyand went straight
- 00:17:13.912 --> 00:17:14.546
- and went straightto the bedroom.
- 00:17:14.546 --> 00:17:15.714
- to the bedroom.And I probably oughtta go back
- 00:17:15.714 --> 00:17:16.782
- And I probably oughtta go backand see why their eyes
- 00:17:16.782 --> 00:17:17.549
- and see why their eyesare bloodshot
- 00:17:17.549 --> 00:17:19.351
- are bloodshotand get all in their business.
- 00:17:19.351 --> 00:17:20.285
- and get all in their business.But, you know,
- 00:17:20.285 --> 00:17:23.856
- But, you know,I'm a compromising parent.
- 00:17:23.856 --> 00:17:24.389
- I'm a compromising parent.And sometimes
- 00:17:24.389 --> 00:17:25.324
- And sometimesyou just want peace
- 00:17:25.324 --> 00:17:29.394
- 'Cause I'm carnal now.
- 00:17:35.167 --> 00:17:36.535
- 'Cause I'm carnal now.Oh, well.
- 00:17:36.535 --> 00:17:37.202
- Oh, well.You know the times
- 00:17:37.202 --> 00:17:39.805
- You know the timeswe're living in.
- 00:17:39.805 --> 00:17:43.142
- we're living in.Kids will be kids.
- 00:17:43.142 --> 00:17:46.011
- Kids will be kids.Just have safe sex.
- 00:17:46.011 --> 00:17:49.414
- Just have safe sex.Is this too plain?
- 00:17:49.414 --> 00:17:53.519
- Is this too plain?But when you're committed,
- 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:57.990
- But when you're committed,it matters.
- 00:17:57.990 --> 00:17:59.625
