  • This is so cool. they went in there.
  • 00:18:38.442 --> 00:18:39.143
  • They went in there. faith went into the fire
  • 00:18:39.210 --> 00:18:40.978
  • Faith went into the fire because sometimes faith
  • 00:18:41.045 --> 00:18:41.779
  • Because sometimes faith has to go through the fire.
  • 00:18:41.846 --> 00:18:43.648
  • Has to go through the fire. i would even argue,
  • 00:18:43.714 --> 00:18:44.448
  • I would even argue, and this may
  • 00:18:44.515 --> 00:18:44.882
  • And this may be theologically
  • 00:18:44.949 --> 00:18:45.583
  • Be theologically controversial to some,
  • 00:18:45.650 --> 00:18:49.086
  • Controversial to some, in order for faith
  • 00:18:49.153 --> 00:18:50.254
  • In order for faith to become favor,
  • 00:18:50.321 --> 00:18:51.889
  • To become favor, it has to go
  • 00:18:51.956 --> 00:18:52.390
  • It has to go through the fire.
  • 00:18:52.456 --> 00:18:55.927
  • Through the fire. it has to go through the fire.
  • 00:18:55.993 --> 00:18:57.528
  • It has to go through the fire. it has to be forged.
  • 00:18:57.595 --> 00:18:58.696
  • It has to be forged. it has to be proven.
  • 00:18:58.763 --> 00:18:59.897
  • It has to be proven. it has to be tested.
  • 00:18:59.964 --> 00:19:02.066
  • It has to be tested. faith comes in,
  • 00:19:02.133 --> 00:19:03.401
  • Faith comes in, and when it comes out,
  • 00:19:03.467 --> 00:19:04.669
  • And when it comes out, it's favor.
  • 00:19:04.735 --> 00:19:06.404
  • It's favor. goes through the fire.
  • 00:19:06.470 --> 00:19:07.838
  • Goes through the fire. these three guys go in there.
  • 00:19:07.905 --> 00:19:09.774
  • These three guys go in there. one of things that intrigue me
  • 00:19:09.840 --> 00:19:10.708
  • One of things that intrigue me about this story is that they,
  • 00:19:10.775 --> 00:19:13.077
  • About this story is that they, shadrach, meshach, and abednego
  • 00:19:13.144 --> 00:19:15.112
  • Shadrach, meshach, and abednego got together and like,
  • 00:19:15.179 --> 00:19:19.150
  • Got together and like, one of them couldn't
  • 00:19:19.217 --> 00:19:19.884
  • One of them couldn't have broken ranks?
  • 00:19:19.951 --> 00:19:22.620
  • Have broken ranks? like all three
  • 00:19:22.687 --> 00:19:23.387
  • Like all three came in agreement.
  • 00:19:23.454 --> 00:19:25.289
  • Came in agreement. i mean, you're missing it.
  • 00:19:25.356 --> 00:19:26.557
  • I mean, you're missing it. like, mathematical
  • 00:19:26.624 --> 00:19:27.291
  • Like, mathematical probability, three guys.
  • 00:19:27.358 --> 00:19:30.094
  • Probability, three guys. y'all bow or you die.
  • 00:19:30.161 --> 00:19:33.598
  • Y'all bow or you die. you bow, or
  • 00:19:33.664 --> 00:19:34.498
  • You bow, or you become barbecue.
  • 00:19:34.565 --> 00:19:38.869
  • You become barbecue. what say you?
  • 00:19:38.936 --> 00:19:39.570
  • What say you? this guy says,
  • 00:19:39.637 --> 00:19:40.304
  • This guy says, "no, i'm not gonna bow.
  • 00:19:40.371 --> 00:19:42.206
  • "no, i'm not gonna bow. i'm not gonna bow.
  • 00:19:42.273 --> 00:19:43.507
  • I'm not gonna bow. i'm not gonna bow."
  • 00:19:43.574 --> 00:19:44.308
  • I'm not gonna bow." now, what are the chances
  • 00:19:44.375 --> 00:19:45.176
  • Now, what are the chances all three, like couldn't
  • 00:19:45.243 --> 00:19:47.278
  • All three, like couldn't one of them at least said,
  • 00:19:47.345 --> 00:19:48.813
  • One of them at least said, "guys, love y'all.
  • 00:19:48.879 --> 00:19:49.847
  • "guys, love y'all. deuces, you're on your own."
  • 00:19:49.914 --> 00:19:50.848
  • Deuces, you're on your own." [laughter]
  • 00:19:50.915 --> 00:19:52.617
  • [laughter] right?
  • 00:19:52.683 --> 00:19:53.084
  • Right? at least one go in there.
  • 00:19:53.150 --> 00:19:54.485
  • At least one go in there. and then, one of them
  • 00:19:54.552 --> 00:19:55.253
  • And then, one of them could have done like
  • 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:55.886
  • Could have done like the religious thing
  • 00:19:55.953 --> 00:19:57.521
  • The religious thing which has some practical
  • 00:19:57.588 --> 00:19:58.422
  • Which has some practical application on the negative.
  • 00:19:58.489 --> 00:20:00.258
  • Application on the negative. what does that mean?
  • 00:20:00.324 --> 00:20:00.958
  • What does that mean? one of them could have said,
  • 00:20:01.025 --> 00:20:01.759
  • One of them could have said, this guy could have said,
  • 00:20:01.826 --> 00:20:03.027
  • This guy could have said, "hey guys, you're on your own.
  • 00:20:03.094 --> 00:20:04.061
  • "hey guys, you're on your own. i'm gonna be honest.
  • 00:20:04.128 --> 00:20:04.996
  • I'm gonna be honest. i'm gonna bow, but then
  • 00:20:05.062 --> 00:20:05.630
  • I'm gonna bow, but then i'm gonna ask for forgiveness,
  • 00:20:05.696 --> 00:20:10.534
  • I'm gonna ask for forgiveness, which means i get saved
  • 00:20:10.601 --> 00:20:12.803
  • Which means i get saved and i did not die."
  • 00:20:12.870 --> 00:20:14.572
  • And i did not die." the only thing is that,
  • 00:20:14.639 --> 00:20:16.073
  • The only thing is that, you're right, you confess.
  • 00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:17.408
  • You're right, you confess. 1 john 1:6-9, "you confess,
  • 00:20:17.475 --> 00:20:20.144
  • 1 john 1:6-9, "you confess, you're forgiven."
  • 00:20:20.211 --> 00:20:20.811
  • You're forgiven." it's done.
  • 00:20:20.878 --> 00:20:21.545
  • It's done. it's beautiful.
  • 00:20:21.612 --> 00:20:22.713
  • It's beautiful. but favor is only reserved
  • 00:20:22.780 --> 00:20:24.849
  • But favor is only reserved for those that refuse to bow.
  • 00:20:24.915 --> 00:20:26.083
  • For those that refuse to bow. [applause]
  • 00:20:26.150 --> 00:20:32.390
  • [applause] they didn't break ranks.
  • 00:20:32.456 --> 00:20:33.858
  • They didn't break ranks. by the way, this should
  • 00:20:33.924 --> 00:20:34.925
  • By the way, this should prompt something.
  • 00:20:34.992 --> 00:20:36.694
  • Prompt something. why did god show up
  • 00:20:36.761 --> 00:20:38.996
  • Why did god show up in this fiery furnace?
  • 00:20:39.063 --> 00:20:41.699
  • In this fiery furnace? there is a promise
  • 00:20:41.766 --> 00:20:42.366
  • There is a promise in matthew 18.
  • 00:20:42.433 --> 00:20:44.835
  • In matthew 18. anyone know the promise?
  • 00:20:44.902 --> 00:20:46.737
  • Anyone know the promise? "where two or three
