  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:00:00.356 --> 00:00:27.517
  • Dr. ed young: ed hendee is a member of our church: "taste of
  • 00:00:31.688 --> 00:00:34.357
  • Texas," talk-radio guy for many years on talk radio in
  • 00:00:34.357 --> 00:00:38.094
  • The morning.
  • 00:00:38.094 --> 00:00:40.263
  • Ed hendee was at a reception, and a man came up to
  • 00:00:40.263 --> 00:00:44.167
  • Him that had lost both legs, and he said, "ed, you coached me
  • 00:00:44.167 --> 00:00:49.772
  • In soccer when i was a little guy."
  • 00:00:49.772 --> 00:00:53.209
  • And he said, "well, what happened to you"?
  • 00:00:53.209 --> 00:00:54.711
  • He said, "i've been to iraq."
  • 00:00:54.711 --> 00:00:57.213
  • He said, "i was in a humvee."
  • 00:00:57.213 --> 00:00:59.282
  • Said, "those ied's they put in the road exploded,"
  • 00:00:59.282 --> 00:01:02.152
  • And said, "it took off both my legs."
  • 00:01:02.152 --> 00:01:04.921
  • He said, "every day in iraq, so many of our guys are being
  • 00:01:04.921 --> 00:01:10.994
  • Killed, or they're being crippled because
  • 00:01:10.994 --> 00:01:13.463
  • Underneath the humvees--"
  • 00:01:13.463 --> 00:01:15.098
  • He said, "all the humvees had around them
  • 00:01:15.098 --> 00:01:17.133
  • Is light armor and mud flaps."
  • 00:01:17.133 --> 00:01:20.603
  • And he said, "they figured out these, these ied's they put
  • 00:01:20.603 --> 00:01:23.973
  • Under the road, and they blow us up," and said,
  • 00:01:23.973 --> 00:01:26.276
  • "that's how so many daily are losing their limbs
  • 00:01:26.276 --> 00:01:29.279
  • And being crippled, or being killed."
  • 00:01:29.279 --> 00:01:32.048
  • And, and ed said, "well, you know,
  • 00:01:32.048 --> 00:01:33.850
  • It looks like they would put some steel under there--"
  • 00:01:33.850 --> 00:01:35.818
  • And he said, "well, they haven't yet."
  • 00:01:35.818 --> 00:01:38.555
  • So shortly after there, ed, then being a part of the media, went
  • 00:01:38.555 --> 00:01:41.991
  • To iraq, and if you knew hendee like i know hendee,
  • 00:01:41.991 --> 00:01:45.895
  • He's not satisfied with staying at bagdad;
  • 00:01:45.895 --> 00:01:48.131
  • He went out on the front lines in a fire zone--
  • 00:01:48.131 --> 00:01:51.534
  • And when he got there, he saw a gunnery sergeant, who was
  • 00:01:51.534 --> 00:01:55.405
  • Welding scrap pieces of metal, and humvees that had been blown
  • 00:01:55.405 --> 00:01:59.475
  • Up, and tanks that had been damaged under,
  • 00:01:59.475 --> 00:02:02.712
  • Under these different humvees that were still there,
  • 00:02:02.712 --> 00:02:05.448
  • Putting metal under it.
  • 00:02:05.448 --> 00:02:07.050
  • Ed says, "why are you doing that?
  • 00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:08.952
  • The government is going to send you some--"
  • 00:02:08.952 --> 00:02:10.787
  • He said, "well, we asked 6 months ago for the pentagon to
  • 00:02:10.787 --> 00:02:14.190
  • Send us some metal to save the, the life and the limbs of these
  • 00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:17.727
  • Who are running around these humvees every day, many, many,
  • 00:02:17.727 --> 00:02:20.396
  • Many hundreds of them, all over iraq."
  • 00:02:20.396 --> 00:02:22.465
  • He said, "we haven't heard from them yet."
  • 00:02:22.465 --> 00:02:25.835
  • That's the same bunch that's gonna be handling all of
  • 00:02:25.835 --> 00:02:28.671
  • Our medicare, and medicaid incidentally
  • 00:02:28.671 --> 00:02:31.074
  • --our hospitalization--
  • 00:02:31.074 --> 00:02:34.010
  • And ed said, "well, what do you need"?
  • 00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:38.348
  • And he said, "what do you mean"?
  • 00:02:38.348 --> 00:02:39.949
  • He said, "give me a list. what do you need"?
  • 00:02:39.949 --> 00:02:41.751
  • And so ed got out a pen.
  • 00:02:41.751 --> 00:02:44.087
  • The sergeant told him all they needed: metal, steel, et cetera,
  • 00:02:44.087 --> 00:02:47.991
  • Soldering equipment to do it, and ed got a long list,
  • 00:02:47.991 --> 00:02:51.794
  • Yellow page, two or three pages.
  • 00:02:51.794 --> 00:02:53.930
  • When he got through, he said, "i'll have this here in
  • 00:02:53.930 --> 00:02:56.666
  • 4, in 5 working days."
  • 00:02:56.666 --> 00:03:00.003
  • (audience applauds).
  • 00:03:00.003 --> 00:03:01.838
  • Now, here's what happened: ed went on a mountain there.
  • 00:03:01.838 --> 00:03:05.675
  • Got one of those intercontinental telephones and
  • 00:03:05.675 --> 00:03:09.245
  • Called a member of our church, danny lee.
  • 00:03:09.245 --> 00:03:13.816
  • Goes to church right here.
  • 00:03:13.816 --> 00:03:15.184
  • He called danny, and danny was at a hunting lease,
  • 00:03:15.184 --> 00:03:17.654
  • 4:00 a.m. in the morning.
  • 00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:19.355
  • He said when the phone rang, he knew it wasn't good news.
  • 00:03:19.355 --> 00:03:22.859
  • And it was hendee on top of a mountain in iraq saying,
  • 00:03:22.859 --> 00:03:25.395
  • "danny, get out your pen.
  • 00:03:25.395 --> 00:03:26.963
  • Take this list."
  • 00:03:26.963 --> 00:03:28.665
  • And he wrote down that long list.
  • 00:03:28.665 --> 00:03:30.300
  • He said, "danny, go buy that tomorrow and mail it
  • 00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:32.969
  • To bagdad in my name."
  • 00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:35.938
  • Danny went out.
  • 00:03:35.938 --> 00:03:37.507
  • He said he went to every tractor store.
  • 00:03:37.507 --> 00:03:39.108
  • He went to walmart.
  • 00:03:39.108 --> 00:03:41.177
  • He went to all these places everywhere around and bought
  • 00:03:41.177 --> 00:03:44.380
  • All kind of stuff-metal, steel, et cetera, et cetera,
  • 00:03:44.380 --> 00:03:47.050
  • And he boxed it all up.
  • 00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:50.653
  • It cost $15,000.00 to ship it to bagdad, airfreight.
  • 00:03:50.653 --> 00:03:55.525
  • It got there the next day, and hendee had talked to
  • 00:03:55.525 --> 00:03:59.128
  • Some military people in helicopters, et cetera,
  • 00:03:59.128 --> 00:04:01.864
  • And it landed on the front line, right where he said it is
  • 00:04:01.864 --> 00:04:05.301
  • --not in 5 days, but in 4 days, and they began putting
  • 00:04:05.301 --> 00:04:08.438
  • Metal under these humvees!
  • 00:04:08.438 --> 00:04:10.973
  • (audience applauds).
  • 00:04:10.973 --> 00:04:16.846
  • Several times, and recently, i questioned ed.
  • 00:04:16.846 --> 00:04:21.651
  • He said he was at a reception and a young man came up to him
  • 00:04:21.651 --> 00:04:25.588
  • And said, "are you ed hendee"?
  • 00:04:25.588 --> 00:04:27.223
  • He said, "yes."
  • 00:04:27.223 --> 00:04:28.791
  • He said, "i want you to meet my friend.
  • 00:04:28.791 --> 00:04:30.460
  • He was there in iraq, and a humvee blew up with him,
  • 00:04:30.460 --> 00:04:33.129
  • But because you had that steel put under there,
  • 00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:35.965
  • He is perfectly safe.
  • 00:04:35.965 --> 00:04:39.402
  • Perfectly safe.
  • 00:04:39.402 --> 00:04:41.070
  • How many lives that was saved, i don't know.
  • 00:04:41.070 --> 00:04:44.006
  • (audience applauds).
  • 00:04:44.006 --> 00:04:45.875
  • Now let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen:
  • 00:04:45.875 --> 00:04:48.845
  • We run around with light armor and mud flaps.
  • 00:04:48.845 --> 00:04:54.584
  • We have the name of christian, but that's all it is.
  • 00:04:54.584 --> 00:04:58.521
  • We have mud flaps on to keep the mud off of us as best we can so
  • 00:04:58.521 --> 00:05:02.291
  • Nobody'll see it or know about it; but in the battle in which
  • 00:05:02.291 --> 00:05:06.863
  • We're in with evil in this world in your life and in my life,
  • 00:05:06.863 --> 00:05:11.567
  • Light armor and mud flaps is not gonna get it!
  • 00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:16.439
  • Because all around us, all around us, we see people,
  • 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.309
  • Families, individuals being crippled and killed because of
  • 00:05:20.309 --> 00:05:24.714
  • Evil that is so pervasive and in such disguise, presenting itself
  • 00:05:24.714 --> 00:05:32.488
  • As light and ending up being deadly and dark.
  • 00:05:32.488 --> 00:05:37.693
  • So the question is, as we walk up here, what do we do about it?
  • 00:05:37.693 --> 00:05:42.064
  • By the way, remember how skilled our opponents are.
  • 00:05:42.064 --> 00:05:46.502
  • You see how skilled they are.
  • 00:05:46.502 --> 00:05:48.704
  • Somebody comes in the church.
  • 00:05:48.704 --> 00:05:50.573
  • Has a bible under their arm.
  • 00:05:50.573 --> 00:05:52.275
  • Boy, you like them.
  • 00:05:52.275 --> 00:05:53.943
  • You have a lot in common with them, and they tell you about
  • 00:05:53.943 --> 00:05:55.678
  • How they're investing here, and they made money there,
  • 00:05:55.678 --> 00:05:57.547
  • And they tripled their money there, and you say,
  • 00:05:57.547 --> 00:05:59.382
  • "man, this guy is really successful!
  • 00:05:59.382 --> 00:06:02.552
  • If you have a little deal like that
  • 00:06:02.552 --> 00:06:04.153
  • And i can have a little part of it"?
  • 00:06:04.153 --> 00:06:05.822
  • And you say, "oh yeah-we got-hey, give me a $1,000.00.
  • 00:06:05.822 --> 00:06:07.790
  • I'll turn it into a couple of thousand in a month or so.
  • 00:06:07.790 --> 00:06:10.092
  • I got a little room there."
  • 00:06:10.092 --> 00:06:11.594
  • So you give him a $1,000.00 and sure enough, a month so,
  • 00:06:11.594 --> 00:06:14.530
  • He brings back your thousand and another $1,200.00.
  • 00:06:14.530 --> 00:06:17.266
  • "whoo-hoo-hoo!
  • 00:06:17.266 --> 00:06:18.734
  • Man!
  • 00:06:18.734 --> 00:06:20.503
  • Any, any other little deals you got in the market,
  • 00:06:20.503 --> 00:06:22.038
  • Or whatever your doing -cut me in!"
  • 00:06:22.038 --> 00:06:23.473
  • He said, "well."
  • 00:06:23.473 --> 00:06:24.874
  • Then he came back, said, "boy, i had something
  • 00:06:24.874 --> 00:06:26.509
  • And i tripled my money, but i didn't have room for anything.
  • 00:06:26.509 --> 00:06:28.411
  • You had to put in at least $20,000.00."
  • 00:06:28.411 --> 00:06:30.112
  • He said, "well, i would have done it."
  • 00:06:30.112 --> 00:06:31.681
  • "no, no, there'll be another thing."
  • 00:06:31.681 --> 00:06:34.750
  • And so, he comes back in a little later.
  • 00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:36.185
  • He said, "oh, i got something now.
  • 00:06:36.185 --> 00:06:37.687
  • It's gonna take $40,000.00."
  • 00:06:37.687 --> 00:06:39.722
  • He said, "oh, i can borrow the money.
  • 00:06:39.722 --> 00:06:41.057
  • I can get it..."
  • 00:06:41.057 --> 00:06:42.592
  • And he said, "i think you'll triple your money,"
  • 00:06:42.592 --> 00:06:44.260
  • And a month later, he comes back.
  • 00:06:44.260 --> 00:06:45.795
  • Said, "well, i didn't triple your money; i only doubled it."
  • 00:06:45.795 --> 00:06:47.630
  • "well, i'll live with that, you know"?
  • 00:06:47.630 --> 00:06:49.632
  • Forty becomes eighty.
  • 00:06:49.632 --> 00:06:52.001
  • Then finally, he says, "i've got this big, beautiful deal!
  • 00:06:52.001 --> 00:06:55.304
  • It's the lead pipe sent!
  • 00:06:55.304 --> 00:06:57.306
  • You can't miss!
  • 00:06:57.306 --> 00:06:58.908
  • But i'm gonna need $200,000.00."
  • 00:06:58.908 --> 00:07:00.676
  • "i don't have money like that.
  • 00:07:00.676 --> 00:07:02.111
  • I'm going to go borrow it..."
  • 00:07:02.111 --> 00:07:03.779
  • And you give him the $200,000.00 say, "swish, bang, boom, bang!
  • 00:07:03.779 --> 00:07:06.449
  • Pshewt!"
  • 00:07:06.449 --> 00:07:07.984
  • He's gone!
  • 00:07:07.984 --> 00:07:09.685
  • He joined another church with a bible under his arm and finds
  • 00:07:09.685 --> 00:07:12.555
  • Other people he wants to con!
  • 00:07:12.555 --> 00:07:17.527
  • That's how the devil works in every area of your life
  • 00:07:17.527 --> 00:07:20.997
  • And in my life, ladies and gentlemen!
  • 00:07:20.997 --> 00:07:23.900
  • That's how he operates!
  • 00:07:23.900 --> 00:07:26.602
  • What are we going to do about it?
  • 00:07:26.602 --> 00:07:28.170
  • We had better put on not light armor and mud flaps;
  • 00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:34.510
  • We'd better put on the whole armor of god,
  • 00:07:34.510 --> 00:07:37.880
  • And here we have the first pieces of it.
  • 00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:41.117
  • What's the first thing we put on?
  • 00:07:41.117 --> 00:07:42.852
  • Is the belt of truth.
  • 00:07:42.852 --> 00:07:46.522
  • The belt of truth.
  • 00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:49.892
  • By the way, it says "having" put on the belt of truth
  • 00:07:49.892 --> 00:07:56.599
  • And the roman soldiers --that's the image here,
  • 00:07:56.599 --> 00:07:59.502
  • That's the metaphor here.
  • 00:07:59.502 --> 00:08:01.137
  • They wore belts.
  • 00:08:01.137 --> 00:08:03.072
  • And their belts were really
  • 00:08:03.072 --> 00:08:05.041
  • --you know, they told the rank of the soldier.
  • 00:08:05.041 --> 00:08:07.543
  • You'd tell where they'd been, and they'd wear that belt,
  • 00:08:07.543 --> 00:08:10.613
  • Even when they weren't in their military armor,
  • 00:08:10.613 --> 00:08:12.748
  • And people would know that's a soldier.
  • 00:08:12.748 --> 00:08:14.317
  • And by the way, there was no stealth with a roman soldier.
  • 00:08:14.317 --> 00:08:16.919
  • When they walked in unison, you'd hear-choo, choo, choo,
  • 00:08:16.919 --> 00:08:20.389
  • Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo.
  • 00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:23.326
  • It was that belt, their battles, their rank, their family, what
  • 00:08:23.326 --> 00:08:26.529
  • They'd done, what they hadn't done-a mark of distinction.
  • 00:08:26.529 --> 00:08:30.132
  • We put on the belt of truth.
  • 00:08:30.132 --> 00:08:31.834
  • By the way, paul's order is first.
  • 00:08:31.834 --> 00:08:33.469
  • If you don't put on truth up front, all the rest of the armor
  • 00:08:33.469 --> 00:08:38.207
  • Doesn't make any difference.
  • 00:08:38.207 --> 00:08:40.142
  • I looked at this, and i could get real pious, but i said early
  • 00:08:40.142 --> 00:08:45.414
  • One morning when it was dark and very few of you were awake,
  • 00:08:45.414 --> 00:08:49.785
  • I was by myself, and i was thinking and praying,
  • 00:08:49.785 --> 00:08:52.321
  • And i said, "lord, let your truth come into my life.
  • 00:08:52.321 --> 00:08:57.693
  • Is there anything in the past or present that doesn't ring true
  • 00:08:57.693 --> 00:09:02.765
  • With you in homer edwin young"?
  • 00:09:02.765 --> 00:09:07.703
  • You know, i had a long morning.
  • 00:09:07.703 --> 00:09:12.375
  • Little bitty words, little bitty indiscretions,
  • 00:09:12.375 --> 00:09:17.413
  • Some big things i missed, some things
  • 00:09:17.413 --> 00:09:20.282
  • And all of a sudden, the holy spirit began to just
  • 00:09:20.282 --> 00:09:23.252
  • Open up my life, open up my life to truth.
  • 00:09:23.252 --> 00:09:27.423
  • Try it!
  • 00:09:27.423 --> 00:09:29.959
  • See if there's anything in your life that does not line up with
  • 00:09:29.959 --> 00:09:36.332
  • The very truth that god has revealed to us in jesus christ.
  • 00:09:36.332 --> 00:09:42.672
  • The first thing we put on is the belt of truth.
  • 00:09:42.672 --> 00:09:44.640
  • Now the problem with us putting on sometimes, we gain weight.
  • 00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:47.843
  • We let the belt out, and we lose weight.
  • 00:09:47.843 --> 00:09:49.612
  • I've got belts that's got all kind of marks on 'em--
  • 00:09:49.612 --> 00:09:53.816
  • But you gotta put on that belt of truth.
  • 00:09:53.816 --> 00:09:55.785
  • It just is the core of who we must become in jesus christ.
  • 00:09:55.785 --> 00:10:00.122
  • It's the core of who we are in jesus christ.
  • 00:10:00.122 --> 00:10:02.458
  • Truth always has to be there, always has to be that standard
  • 00:10:02.458 --> 00:10:06.862
  • Of our walk and our life in christ, if we're going to win
  • 00:10:06.862 --> 00:10:09.765
  • The battle against evil in the world.
  • 00:10:09.765 --> 00:10:11.600
  • Truth--put on the belt of truth.
  • 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.070
  • Also he says, what do you do?
  • 00:10:14.070 --> 00:10:15.971
  • You put on the vest of righteousness.
  • 00:10:15.971 --> 00:10:20.276
  • The breastplate of righteousness.
  • 00:10:20.276 --> 00:10:22.278
  • And what is this righteousness?
  • 00:10:22.278 --> 00:10:24.046
  • What is this vest that god gives us in christ?
  • 00:10:24.046 --> 00:10:27.950
  • Everybody here who's been to church in the last little bit,
  • 00:10:27.950 --> 00:10:30.419
  • You can define righteousness, remember?
  • 00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:33.055
  • You thought, "well, i'd gotten--"
  • 00:10:33.055 --> 00:10:34.390
  • No, no, no!
  • 00:10:34.390 --> 00:10:35.725
  • In christ, we're right with god, right?
  • 00:10:35.725 --> 00:10:38.561
  • Isn't that great?
  • 00:10:38.561 --> 00:10:40.229
  • In christ we get right with ourselves.
  • 00:10:40.229 --> 00:10:43.833
  • In christ we can get right with everybody else,
  • 00:10:43.833 --> 00:10:47.069
  • And that's what we put on.
  • 00:10:47.069 --> 00:10:48.704
  • And when people look at you and me, they need to see,
  • 00:10:48.704 --> 00:10:51.140
  • There is somebody who is right with god, right with themselves,
  • 00:10:51.140 --> 00:10:56.746
  • And seeks to be right with everybody.
  • 00:10:56.746 --> 00:10:58.981
  • That is that righteous --that is our identity.
  • 00:10:58.981 --> 00:11:02.451
  • What are you known as? what's your deal?
  • 00:11:02.451 --> 00:11:04.220
  • "well i'm this, and i'm that--"
  • 00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:05.554
  • No, what are you known as?
  • 00:11:05.554 --> 00:11:06.956
  • We need to be known as simply soldiers, marching in
  • 00:11:06.956 --> 00:11:09.992
  • A different direction of the stream of this world, who are,
  • 00:11:09.992 --> 00:11:13.729
  • Who put on jesus christ, and you see that, and this protects our
  • 00:11:13.729 --> 00:11:17.800
  • Heart and our emotions, see?
  • 00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:19.935
  • That's what the, that's what the vest does.
  • 00:11:19.935 --> 00:11:22.338
  • It protects us so we can be protected from the darts,
  • 00:11:22.338 --> 00:11:26.542
  • From the evil one that comes, and it's already on us,
  • 00:11:26.542 --> 00:11:29.411
  • If we're in christ.
  • 00:11:29.411 --> 00:11:30.780
  • We have to recognize it.
  • 00:11:30.780 --> 00:11:33.149
  • Have to recognize it--
  • 00:11:33.149 --> 00:11:35.050
  • Then what's the next thing that we put on?
  • 00:11:35.050 --> 00:11:37.853
  • We put on the shoes of peace.
  • 00:11:37.853 --> 00:11:40.923
  • Wait a minute!
  • 00:11:40.923 --> 00:11:42.258
  • Well, you're gonna need shoes, you go into battle.
  • 00:11:42.258 --> 00:11:44.126
  • I wouldn't recommend going to battle barefooted, would you?
  • 00:11:44.126 --> 00:11:46.562
  • That's not a very good idea--
  • 00:11:46.562 --> 00:11:48.697
  • And so you put on shoes, but these shoes are peace.
  • 00:11:48.697 --> 00:11:52.101
  • That seems contradictory.
  • 00:11:52.101 --> 00:11:53.702
  • You see it?
  • 00:11:53.702 --> 00:11:55.037
  • "i'm going to war; i'm battling with evil in the world,
  • 00:11:55.037 --> 00:11:58.174
  • But i'm putting on peace!"
  • 00:11:58.174 --> 00:12:00.643
  • How does that work?
  • 00:12:00.643 --> 00:12:03.779
  • What gives a warrior peace?
  • 00:12:03.779 --> 00:12:07.249
  • You know what it is?
  • 00:12:07.249 --> 00:12:08.818
  • Purpose.
  • 00:12:08.818 --> 00:12:10.719
  • You can fight when there's a reason to fight.
  • 00:12:10.719 --> 00:12:13.889
  • You can go to war when you know there's a purpose bigger than
  • 00:12:13.889 --> 00:12:17.459
  • You understand, but a clear purpose as what's gonna happen.
  • 00:12:17.459 --> 00:12:21.997
  • Therefore, we put on the shoes of peace.
  • 00:12:21.997 --> 00:12:24.567
  • It says we've got purpose as we go out to battle,
  • 00:12:24.567 --> 00:12:27.536
  • As evil comes in contact with us.
  • 00:12:27.536 --> 00:12:30.739
  • Purpose.
  • 00:12:30.739 --> 00:12:32.174
  • Purpose--
  • 00:12:32.174 --> 00:12:33.642
  • And what's happened in our society, in our culture is that
  • 00:12:33.642 --> 00:12:37.746
  • As we have been prohibited by spurious law and judgment
  • 00:12:37.746 --> 00:12:42.785
  • From going out in the world with purpose,
  • 00:12:42.785 --> 00:12:45.688
  • Saying "i am on the side of jesus christ.
  • 00:12:45.688 --> 00:12:48.390
  • I'm not ashamed of the gospel of jesus christ."
  • 00:12:48.390 --> 00:12:50.793
  • Say, "shhh!
  • 00:12:50.793 --> 00:12:52.194
  • Shhh! shhh!
  • 00:12:52.194 --> 00:12:53.729
  • You can't say that in school! shhh, shhh!
  • 00:12:53.729 --> 00:12:55.331
  • Oh, don't bring that up in the business.
  • 00:12:55.331 --> 00:12:56.999
  • Shhh!
  • 00:12:56.999 --> 00:12:58.334
  • Oh, don't bring it up in the little league meet--
  • 00:12:58.334 --> 00:12:59.768
  • Shhh, shhh! no!
  • 00:12:59.768 --> 00:13:01.237
  • Keep all the--"
  • 00:13:01.237 --> 00:13:02.638
  • See?
  • 00:13:02.638 --> 00:13:04.106
  • The world wants us to privatize our faith.
  • 00:13:04.106 --> 00:13:05.474
  • The world says, "you keep your faith inside the church
  • 00:13:05.474 --> 00:13:09.545
  • And don't bother us out here!
  • 00:13:09.545 --> 00:13:11.113
  • We're gonna strip everything in this world of god, of christ.
  • 00:13:11.113 --> 00:13:14.516
  • We privatized our faith!"
  • 00:13:14.516 --> 00:13:16.585
  • And if there's ever a time for boldness, it is now, for us to
  • 00:13:16.585 --> 00:13:20.289
  • Put on that girdle of truth, for us to know that we have that
  • 00:13:20.289 --> 00:13:24.994
  • Vest of righteousness that christ has given to us,
  • 00:13:24.994 --> 00:13:27.897
  • And we put on the shoes of peace because we know
  • 00:13:27.897 --> 00:13:30.833
  • We have purpose in this life.
  • 00:13:30.833 --> 00:13:32.601
  • What is our purpose?
  • 00:13:32.601 --> 00:13:34.069
  • To glorify god, and to enjoy him forever.
  • 00:13:34.069 --> 00:13:37.573
  • That's our witness, that's our walk.
  • 00:13:37.573 --> 00:13:40.542
  • We can't let that be stripped from us
  • 00:13:40.542 --> 00:13:42.511
  • As it's happening in our society.
  • 00:13:42.511 --> 00:13:45.247
  • Say, "well, what's the end result of all
  • 00:13:45.247 --> 00:13:47.149
  • This evil that we see"?
  • 00:13:47.149 --> 00:13:49.652
  • It is destroying the basic judeo-christian culture
  • 00:13:49.652 --> 00:13:54.556
  • Of america, the foundation upon which
  • 00:13:54.556 --> 00:13:57.860
  • This nation came into being.
  • 00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:59.862
  • What is culture?
  • 00:13:59.862 --> 00:14:01.697
  • Good question.
  • 00:14:01.697 --> 00:14:03.666
  • Culture, simply defined, is the glue that holds
  • 00:14:03.666 --> 00:14:09.238
  • Common values together.
  • 00:14:09.238 --> 00:14:11.740
  • Did you get that?
  • 00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:13.075
  • You need to know that.
  • 00:14:13.075 --> 00:14:14.476
  • Culture is the glue that holds our common values together, and
  • 00:14:14.476 --> 00:14:22.751
  • What's happening today is our culture is being disintegrated.
  • 00:14:22.751 --> 00:14:28.157
  • It is being taken from us.
  • 00:14:28.157 --> 00:14:31.527
  • You say, "well, what do we do about it"?
  • 00:14:31.527 --> 00:14:34.296
  • We go to the bible, and you know,
  • 00:14:34.296 --> 00:14:35.831
  • I've said this tentatively.
  • 00:14:35.831 --> 00:14:38.233
  • Let me say it clearly.
  • 00:14:38.233 --> 00:14:39.568
  • The old testament tells us how god
  • 00:14:39.568 --> 00:14:41.770
  • Dealt with evil in that day, right?
  • 00:14:41.770 --> 00:14:43.706
  • That's the old testament.
  • 00:14:43.706 --> 00:14:45.774
  • These are stories of god's hand in history
  • 00:14:45.774 --> 00:14:49.078
  • Dealing with evil in that day.
  • 00:14:49.078 --> 00:14:52.281
  • You can look a little slice of biblical history here,
  • 00:14:52.281 --> 00:14:55.551
  • And it's so very, very important.
  • 00:14:55.551 --> 00:14:57.820
  • Go to ii kings chapter number 21,
  • 00:14:57.820 --> 00:15:01.991
  • And you have here the hall of fame.
  • 00:15:01.991 --> 00:15:05.627
  • You have a wonderful king in hezekiah, godly king.
  • 00:15:05.627 --> 00:15:10.666
  • Fifty years later, you have a godly king in josiah.
  • 00:15:10.666 --> 00:15:14.336
  • You would think in that little interim period with these two
  • 00:15:14.336 --> 00:15:17.906
  • Hall of fame kings--in the middle, you'd think there'd be
  • 00:15:17.906 --> 00:15:22.544
  • Biblical prosperity, and honesty, and integrity.
  • 00:15:22.544 --> 00:15:25.381
  • But that's not what you find in the middle.
  • 00:15:25.381 --> 00:15:28.450
  • You find the reign of manasseh.
  • 00:15:28.450 --> 00:15:31.553
  • And manasseh brought evil into the land of israel and changed
  • 00:15:31.553 --> 00:15:37.259
  • The whole culture of israel.
  • 00:15:37.259 --> 00:15:40.429
  • You have the hall of fame.
  • 00:15:40.429 --> 00:15:43.032
  • Two of the kings in the middle, you have the hall of shame.
  • 00:15:43.032 --> 00:15:45.868
  • And look what the story is of manasseh.
  • 00:15:45.868 --> 00:15:48.470
  • It will sound familiar to us, verse 21.
  • 00:15:48.470 --> 00:15:51.974
  • It says, he did evil in the sight of the lord, according to
  • 00:15:51.974 --> 00:15:56.311
  • The abomination to the nations, whom the lord dispossessed
  • 00:15:56.311 --> 00:16:00.249
  • Before the sons of israel; for he rebuilt the high places
  • 00:16:00.249 --> 00:16:05.087
  • --pagan altars--which hezekiah, his father, had destroyed;
  • 00:16:05.087 --> 00:16:10.325
  • And he erected altars for baal and made an ashtoreth as ahab
  • 00:16:10.325 --> 00:16:16.365
  • The king of israel had done, and worshipped all the
  • 00:16:16.365 --> 00:16:19.902
  • Hosts of heaven and served them; and he built altars in the house
  • 00:16:19.902 --> 00:16:24.339
  • Of the lord-pagan altars, of which the lord had said,
  • 00:16:24.339 --> 00:16:28.210
  • "in jerusalem, i will put my name."
  • 00:16:28.210 --> 00:16:30.579
  • Verse 5: for he built altars for all the hosts of heaven
  • 00:16:30.579 --> 00:16:33.715
  • In the two courts in the house of the lord.
  • 00:16:33.715 --> 00:16:36.285
  • Pagan altars.
  • 00:16:36.285 --> 00:16:37.920
  • And he made his son pass through the fire.
  • 00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:40.389
  • He sacrificed his own son to fire.
  • 00:16:40.389 --> 00:16:44.726
  • He made his son to pass through the fire, practice witchcraft,
  • 00:16:44.726 --> 00:16:48.330
  • And used divinations, and dealt with mediums, and spiritualists.
  • 00:16:48.330 --> 00:16:52.367
  • He did much evil in the sight of the lord,
  • 00:16:52.367 --> 00:16:55.037
  • Provoking the lord to anger.
  • 00:16:55.037 --> 00:16:56.772
  • This is the reign of manasseh.
  • 00:16:56.772 --> 00:16:59.641
  • Now what did he do in his day that brought evil,
  • 00:16:59.641 --> 00:17:03.679
  • And destruction into israel?
  • 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.982
  • Number one, he tore down fences.
  • 00:17:06.982 --> 00:17:11.820
  • He tore down walls.
  • 00:17:11.820 --> 00:17:14.022
  • He tore down boundaries.
  • 00:17:14.022 --> 00:17:18.293
  • Ladies and gentlemen, when you take down a fence,
  • 00:17:18.293 --> 00:17:22.564
  • You better do it real, real slowly because you better think
  • 00:17:22.564 --> 00:17:26.368
  • Why that fence was put up there in the first place.
  • 00:17:26.368 --> 00:17:31.707
  • And when manasseh began to throw out the ten commandments,
  • 00:17:31.707 --> 00:17:35.444
  • And the worship in the temple, and he began to say,
  • 00:17:35.444 --> 00:17:38.780
  • "we live in a pluralistic society.
  • 00:17:38.780 --> 00:17:40.716
  • I want all these pagan gods and goddesses to be honored,
  • 00:17:40.716 --> 00:17:44.119
  • And i'm gonna worship them.
  • 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.787
  • We're gonna put altars in the house of god.
  • 00:17:45.787 --> 00:17:47.589
  • We're gonna compromise.
  • 00:17:47.589 --> 00:17:49.224
  • We're gonna be open up our society
  • 00:17:49.224 --> 00:17:50.893
  • To anything and everything.
  • 00:17:50.893 --> 00:17:52.794
  • It's not just tolerance; it's total acceptance.
  • 00:17:52.794 --> 00:17:55.664
  • It's okay.
  • 00:17:55.664 --> 00:17:57.232
  • One god is as good as another god!"
  • 00:17:57.232 --> 00:18:00.702
  • How many times have i heard that?
  • 00:18:00.702 --> 00:18:03.438
  • How many times have i heard, you know,
  • 00:18:03.438 --> 00:18:05.340
  • "there's no difference in allah and god--"
  • 00:18:05.340 --> 00:18:08.577
  • We're about to figure out there's a little difference,
  • 00:18:08.577 --> 00:18:10.779
  • Wouldn't you say, ladies and gentlemen?
  • 00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:13.715
  • So this is what we're dealing with.
  • 00:18:13.715 --> 00:18:16.385
  • Manasseh just took down fences.
  • 00:18:16.385 --> 00:18:19.621
  • All the moral standards and all the things.
  • 00:18:19.621 --> 00:18:22.191
  • "o, we, we accept everybody.
  • 00:18:22.191 --> 00:18:24.092
  • Everybody come in.
  • 00:18:24.092 --> 00:18:25.460
  • Do whatever they--"
  • 00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:26.795
  • Not just tolerance, but acceptance.
  • 00:18:26.795 --> 00:18:28.230
  • See, there's a difference.
  • 00:18:28.230 --> 00:18:29.598
  • We're tolerant, but we don't accept.
  • 00:18:29.598 --> 00:18:31.033
  • We don't take away the moorings of the constitution and the
  • 00:18:31.033 --> 00:18:34.603
  • Bylaws, and we no longer have to worry about saying a pledge to
  • 00:18:34.603 --> 00:18:39.074
  • The flag--"one nation under god, indivisible, liberty--"
  • 00:18:39.074 --> 00:18:42.444
  • Oh no!
  • 00:18:42.444 --> 00:18:43.812
  • You can't say--listen!
  • 00:18:43.812 --> 00:18:45.147
  • This is who we are!
  • 00:18:45.147 --> 00:18:46.648
  • This is the pillars upon which america was founded and the
  • 00:18:46.648 --> 00:18:49.318
  • Pillars of america will stay!
  • 00:18:49.318 --> 00:18:50.986
  • You can't argue with that!
  • 00:18:50.986 --> 00:18:52.521
  • (audience applauds)
  • 00:18:52.521 --> 00:18:53.889
  • Read the federalist papers!
  • 00:18:53.889 --> 00:18:55.591
  • We are a nation under god!
  • 00:18:55.591 --> 00:18:59.795
  • And you start taking down fences, you'd better figure out
  • 00:18:59.795 --> 00:19:03.332
  • Why those fences were there in the first place.
  • 00:19:03.332 --> 00:19:06.201
  • When you stand against the ten commandments,
  • 00:19:06.201 --> 00:19:08.470
  • Remember, you don't break the ten commandments.
  • 00:19:08.470 --> 00:19:10.839
  • I don't break the ten commandments.
  • 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:12.574
  • They break you and they break me,
  • 00:19:12.574 --> 00:19:14.843
  • And they will break our nation.
  • 00:19:14.843 --> 00:19:17.346
  • Number one, manasseh took down fences.
  • 00:19:17.346 --> 00:19:21.583
  • Number two, manasseh, what did he do?
  • 00:19:21.583 --> 00:19:27.356
  • Sacrificed the children.
  • 00:19:27.356 --> 00:19:30.158
  • Sacrificed his own child to a pagan god, or goddess in the
  • 00:19:30.158 --> 00:19:36.031
  • Valley of gehenna, which is right there in jerusalem.
  • 00:19:36.031 --> 00:19:39.501
  • It means "hell fire, hell."
  • 00:19:39.501 --> 00:19:43.772
  • And can you imagine?
  • 00:19:43.772 --> 00:19:45.240
  • They said when they would bring all their children down, which
  • 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.743
  • Had great value, and they would take them and let them roll out
  • 00:19:47.743 --> 00:19:50.712
  • Of their arms into those pagan altars and sacrifice those
  • 00:19:50.712 --> 00:19:54.049
  • Children; there were all kinds of crying
  • 00:19:54.049 --> 00:19:56.318
  • And moaning by those children.
  • 00:19:56.318 --> 00:19:57.986
  • Some were not just babes; some were older.
  • 00:19:57.986 --> 00:20:00.222
  • They would give their children to these pagan gods and
  • 00:20:00.222 --> 00:20:02.257
  • Goddesses, and all the pagans around would beat on drums,
  • 00:20:02.257 --> 00:20:06.295
  • And they would just shout and, and do things like that to
  • 00:20:06.295 --> 00:20:10.732
  • Drown out the cries of the children.
  • 00:20:10.732 --> 00:20:16.638
  • Well, what about america?
  • 00:20:16.638 --> 00:20:19.875
  • A life is taken in a mother's womb in america 1,233 every day!
  • 00:20:19.875 --> 00:20:29.518
  • Since roe vs. wade, 1973, over 57 million children, babes,
  • 00:20:29.518 --> 00:20:38.293
  • Have been killed in their mother's womb.
  • 00:20:38.293 --> 00:20:40.862
  • That's metropolitan houston, about 16 or 17 times,
  • 00:20:40.862 --> 00:20:45.067
  • If we have 4 million -lives killed.
  • 00:20:45.067 --> 00:20:49.504
  • You can tell the direction a nation is going to go by how
  • 00:20:49.504 --> 00:20:52.908
  • They treat their children.
  • 00:20:52.908 --> 00:20:56.378
  • How they love their children.
  • 00:20:56.378 --> 00:20:58.680
  • How special their children of.
  • 00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:00.782
  • How sacred indeed is the gift of life!
  • 00:21:00.782 --> 00:21:05.487
  • Israel began to be destroyed from within because manasseh
  • 00:21:05.487 --> 00:21:10.025
  • Took down fences and manasseh sacrificed children,
  • 00:21:10.025 --> 00:21:13.395
  • Even his own child.
  • 00:21:13.395 --> 00:21:15.931
  • And the third thing he did,
  • 00:21:15.931 --> 00:21:17.399
  • He silenced the voice of the prophets.
  • 00:21:17.399 --> 00:21:20.802
  • Extra biblical literature tells us that as isaiah was speaking
  • 00:21:20.802 --> 00:21:25.574
  • Against the decadence of manasseh,
  • 00:21:25.574 --> 00:21:29.845
  • Manasseh cut off the head of isaiah,
  • 00:21:29.845 --> 00:21:34.750
  • Says extra biblical literature, with a wooden saw.
  • 00:21:34.750 --> 00:21:40.422
  • Heard anything like that recently?
  • 00:21:40.422 --> 00:21:42.090
  • "oh, that's oh--."
  • 00:21:42.090 --> 00:21:43.692
  • Heard anything like that recently?
  • 00:21:43.692 --> 00:21:46.361
  • To silence the voice of those who will speak out
  • 00:21:46.361 --> 00:21:49.865
  • And speak truth into the culture.
  • 00:21:49.865 --> 00:21:55.570
  • A christian man was visiting romania.
  • 00:21:55.570 --> 00:21:58.673
  • Right in the middle of the cold war, when romania was run by a
  • 00:21:58.673 --> 00:22:03.311
  • Godless, marxist dictator.
  • 00:22:03.311 --> 00:22:06.248
  • If you mentioned god or christ, he would either take you out,
  • 00:22:06.248 --> 00:22:09.017
  • Or put you in prison.
  • 00:22:09.017 --> 00:22:11.353
  • And in this situation, this christian man was walking down
  • 00:22:11.353 --> 00:22:13.755
  • The streets, wrapped up.
  • 00:22:13.755 --> 00:22:15.457
  • It was cold.
  • 00:22:15.457 --> 00:22:17.859
  • The wind was blowing, and by himself.
  • 00:22:17.859 --> 00:22:19.394
  • He was there on business, and he saw the faces of all those
  • 00:22:19.394 --> 00:22:22.397
  • Hopeless romanians-cold, empty, lost-no, no hope at all.
  • 00:22:22.397 --> 00:22:26.902
  • Emptiness under that dictatorship,
  • 00:22:26.902 --> 00:22:29.171
  • That godlessness, that poverty--
  • 00:22:29.171 --> 00:22:31.373
  • But as he walked through, suddenly, he passed a man,
  • 00:22:31.373 --> 00:22:34.342
  • And the man was whistling.
  • 00:22:34.342 --> 00:22:37.479
  • (starts whistling "blessed assurance.")
  • 00:22:37.479 --> 00:22:42.451
  • And he said, "he's whistling "blessed assurance!
  • 00:22:42.451 --> 00:22:45.821
  • Jesus is mine!"
  • 00:22:45.821 --> 00:22:48.490
  • And so he turned around,
  • 00:22:48.490 --> 00:22:50.091
  • And he didn't want to just interrupt him.
  • 00:22:50.091 --> 00:22:51.893
  • He didn't know if he was being watched as, as an american
  • 00:22:51.893 --> 00:22:54.095
  • There, so he came up behind him and walked by him.
  • 00:22:54.095 --> 00:22:56.264
  • He started whistling.
  • 00:22:56.264 --> 00:22:57.899
  • (whistles same tune).
  • 00:22:57.899 --> 00:23:00.235
  • And the man looked at him, and he began to speak to him,
  • 00:23:00.235 --> 00:23:02.971
  • And he saw that he didn't understand him.
  • 00:23:02.971 --> 00:23:05.640
  • And then he said, "almost as if we had planned it,
  • 00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.610
  • Together, we said--"
  • 00:23:08.610 --> 00:23:13.415
  • And he said, "we embraced, embraced," and said,
  • 00:23:13.415 --> 00:23:18.687
  • "he went off whistling," and he said, "i went off whistling."
  • 00:23:18.687 --> 00:23:23.325
  • He said, "all of a sudden, language, race, culture,
  • 00:23:23.325 --> 00:23:27.996
  • Background, economics, everything was totally
  • 00:23:27.996 --> 00:23:31.600
  • Disappeared because we were brought
  • 00:23:31.600 --> 00:23:34.002
  • Together in jesus christ!
  • 00:23:34.002 --> 00:23:36.505
  • (audience applauds)
  • 00:23:36.505 --> 00:23:38.340
  • That is the answer, ladies and gentlemen!
  • 00:23:38.340 --> 00:23:41.209
  • No matter where we're from, what our background, what country,
  • 00:23:41.209 --> 00:23:44.746
  • What nationality, what ra-i doesn't make any difference.
  • 00:23:44.746 --> 00:23:47.816
  • In jesus christ, we are brought whole again together in him
  • 00:23:47.816 --> 00:23:53.288
  • As our lord and as our savior!
  • 00:23:53.288 --> 00:23:56.625
  • (audience applauds)
  • 00:23:56.625 --> 00:23:58.460
  • Now, in the meantime in this culture,
  • 00:23:58.460 --> 00:24:04.599
  • We need to now walk around with light armor and mud flaps.
  • 00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:07.936
  • That's not going to get it.
  • 00:24:07.936 --> 00:24:10.605
  • We're going to see how we put on the whole armor, completely
  • 00:24:10.605 --> 00:24:13.975
  • Clothed with our lord and savior, jesus christ, and we'll
  • 00:24:13.975 --> 00:24:18.246
  • Be able in an evil world to be the difference makers in
  • 00:24:18.246 --> 00:24:24.052
  • Bringing people together in defeating evil, and claiming
  • 00:24:24.052 --> 00:24:29.858
  • Victory-full victory as we stand, as paul said,
  • 00:24:29.858 --> 00:24:33.929
  • As we stand in jesus christ!

  • Male announcer: in the middle of life's darkest storm,
  • 00:24:39.134 --> 00:24:40.969
  • There's always the quiet promises of god that lie
  • 00:24:40.969 --> 00:24:43.271
  • Just beyond the turbulence.
  • 00:24:43.271 --> 00:24:45.273
  • You can discover how to claim these promises
  • 00:24:45.273 --> 00:24:47.142
  • In dr. young's book, "living under the rainbow."

  • Of the ministry this month.

  • Dr. young: the rainbow is a comforting reminder
  • 00:24:53.415 --> 00:24:55.450
  • Of god's promises.
  • 00:24:55.450 --> 00:24:56.985
  • Under the rainbow our lives, families,
  • 00:24:56.985 --> 00:24:58.687
  • And careers can become what god designed them to be.
  • 00:24:58.687 --> 00:25:03.291
  • In my book, "living under the rainbow," you will learn about
  • 00:25:03.291 --> 00:25:06.428
  • The key promises god has made to us in his word, the bible,
  • 00:25:06.428 --> 00:25:12.934
  • And we'll discover how we can claim them in our daily lives.
  • 00:25:12.934 --> 00:25:17.005
  • Applying these promises leads not only to daily victory, but
  • 00:25:17.005 --> 00:25:21.476
