- Pastor ed young: genesis 3: now the serpent was more crafty than
- 00:00:19.943 --> 00:00:23.947
- Any beast of the field, which the lord god had made,
- 00:00:23.947 --> 00:00:27.417
- And he said to the woman, "indeed, has god said you
- 00:00:27.417 --> 00:00:31.988
- Shall not eat from any tree of the garden"?
- 00:00:31.988 --> 00:00:35.391
- The woman said to the serpent, "from the fruit of the trees of
- 00:00:35.391 --> 00:00:39.362
- The garden we may eat..."
- 00:00:39.362 --> 00:00:40.964
- (in other words, we can eat of all the trees in the garden,
- 00:00:40.964 --> 00:00:43.366
- All the fruit in the garden.) "...but from the fruit of the
- 00:00:43.366 --> 00:00:46.402
- Tree which is in the middle of the garden, god has said you
- 00:00:46.402 --> 00:00:50.306
- Shall not eat from it, or touch it, or you will die."
- 00:00:50.306 --> 00:00:55.145
- By the way, god didn't say that.
- 00:00:55.145 --> 00:00:57.113
- Eve misquoted god.
- 00:00:57.113 --> 00:00:59.949
- The previous chapter said god said, "don't eat of the fruit of
- 00:00:59.949 --> 00:01:03.419
- The tree and you will die..."
- 00:01:03.419 --> 00:01:06.089
- But god didn't say anything about touching it.
- 00:01:06.089 --> 00:01:10.193
- Hmm...
- 00:01:10.193 --> 00:01:12.028
- Her femininity came out.
- 00:01:12.028 --> 00:01:13.963
- She had to say more than was there-i, i don't know...
- 00:01:13.963 --> 00:01:17.167
- (audience laughs).
- 00:01:17.167 --> 00:01:21.905
- "...or touch it, or you will die."
- 00:01:21.905 --> 00:01:23.473
- The serpent said to the woman, "you surely will not die; for
- 00:01:23.473 --> 00:01:28.077
- God knows that in the day you eat from it, your eyes will be
- 00:01:28.077 --> 00:01:32.115
- Opened, and you will be like god, knowing good and evil."
- 00:01:32.115 --> 00:01:35.485
- And we decided that everybody here would have fallen with that
- 00:01:35.485 --> 00:01:39.522
- Same kind of temptation brought before you and me.
- 00:01:39.522 --> 00:01:42.358
- Oh yeah!
- 00:01:42.358 --> 00:01:43.826
- "your eyes will be opened," the devil said.
- 00:01:43.826 --> 00:01:45.895
- "you will see other dimensions,
- 00:01:45.895 --> 00:01:48.131
- Other things you'll never been able to see before.
- 00:01:48.131 --> 00:01:50.800
- Your eyes will be opened if you eat this fruit.
- 00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:54.804
- Oh, and you'll be like god!"
- 00:01:54.804 --> 00:01:56.573
- Who would not want to be like god?
- 00:01:56.573 --> 00:01:58.241
- You know?
- 00:01:58.241 --> 00:01:59.576
- We try to run our own lives anyway independent of him.
- 00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:01.578
- That's the original sin.
- 00:02:01.578 --> 00:02:02.912
- "you'll be like god, and you'll know good and evil.
- 00:02:02.912 --> 00:02:07.016
- You'll have discernment.
- 00:02:07.016 --> 00:02:08.351
- You'll have increased knowledge."
- 00:02:08.351 --> 00:02:09.852
- Doesn't that sound very appealing to every single
- 00:02:09.852 --> 00:02:12.155
- One of us here, if we're honest about it?
- 00:02:12.155 --> 00:02:14.324
- Sure it does!
- 00:02:14.324 --> 00:02:18.061
- When the woman saw that the tree was good for food;
- 00:02:18.061 --> 00:02:22.699
- It was a delight to eyes, that the tree was
- 00:02:22.699 --> 00:02:25.168
- Desirable to make one wise...
- 00:02:25.168 --> 00:02:27.837
- (lust of the flesh, good for food,
- 00:02:27.837 --> 00:02:31.608
- Delight to the eyes, lust of the eye.
- 00:02:31.608 --> 00:02:34.978
- It'll make you wise, the pride of life-it's all right there.
- 00:02:34.978 --> 00:02:39.015
- Classic temptation).
- 00:02:39.015 --> 00:02:41.584
- She took from his fruit and ate, and she gave also to her
- 00:02:41.584 --> 00:02:45.455
- Husband with her, and he ate.
- 00:02:45.455 --> 00:02:47.991
- Verse 7.
- 00:02:47.991 --> 00:02:49.392
- Then the eyes of both of them were opened.
- 00:02:49.392 --> 00:02:51.227
- The devil's promise came true there.
- 00:02:51.227 --> 00:02:53.896
- Now they saw their true situation, and they knew
- 00:02:53.896 --> 00:02:57.800
- That they were naked.
- 00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:59.636
- And they sowed fig leaves together and
- 00:02:59.636 --> 00:03:01.738
- Made themselves loin coverings.
- 00:03:01.738 --> 00:03:04.807
- They heard the sound of the lord god walking in the garden in the
- 00:03:04.807 --> 00:03:07.410
- Cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the
- 00:03:07.410 --> 00:03:11.748
- Presence of the lord, god among the trees in the garden.
- 00:03:11.748 --> 00:03:16.619
- Then the lord called to the man and said, "where are you"?
- 00:03:16.619 --> 00:03:21.858
- And he said, "i heard the sound of you in the garden,
- 00:03:21.858 --> 00:03:25.228
- And i was afraid because i was naked, so i hid myself."
- 00:03:25.228 --> 00:03:29.465
- And god said, "who told you, you were naked?
- 00:03:29.465 --> 00:03:33.169
- Have you eaten from the tree of which
- 00:03:33.169 --> 00:03:35.004
- I commanded you not to eat"?
- 00:03:35.004 --> 00:03:37.206
- The man said, "the woman (audience laughs)
- 00:03:37.206 --> 00:03:42.745
- Whom you gave to be with me,
- 00:03:42.745 --> 00:03:44.347
- She gave me from the tree and i ate."
- 00:03:44.347 --> 00:03:47.250
- Then the lord god said to the woman,
- 00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:49.552
- "what is this that you have done"?
- 00:03:49.552 --> 00:03:51.688
- And the woman said, "the serpent (audience laughs)
- 00:03:51.688 --> 00:03:56.359
- Deceived me, and i ate."
- 00:03:56.359 --> 00:03:57.927
- And the lord god said to the serpent, "because you have done
- 00:03:57.927 --> 00:04:00.763
- This, cursed are you more than any cattle,
- 00:04:00.763 --> 00:04:04.734
- And more than any beast of the field.
- 00:04:04.734 --> 00:04:07.203
- On your belly you will go, and dust you will
- 00:04:07.203 --> 00:04:10.039
- Eat all the days of your life."
- 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:15.878
- A contractor had the opportunity of a lifetime.
- 00:04:15.878 --> 00:04:20.249
- He was asked to bid on a multi-million dollar project.
- 00:04:20.249 --> 00:04:25.254
- If he were low bidder, he'd get the job.
- 00:04:25.254 --> 00:04:29.392
- It would just give him security for at least 3 or 4 years.
- 00:04:29.392 --> 00:04:34.831
- He worked very carefully through the long, lengthy bid.
- 00:04:34.831 --> 00:04:38.468
- Finally, it came the day to take the bid to the office of the
- 00:04:38.468 --> 00:04:41.070
- President of the company, and he showed up and the secretary
- 00:04:41.070 --> 00:04:45.575
- Said, "he's not here, but he'll be in 15 minutes.
- 00:04:45.575 --> 00:04:48.578
- Go in his office and sit down
- 00:04:48.578 --> 00:04:50.780
- And he'll be glad to receive your bid."
- 00:04:50.780 --> 00:04:53.583
- And so he went in. he was seated.
- 00:04:53.583 --> 00:04:55.418
- She said, "could i give you coffee"?
- 00:04:55.418 --> 00:04:57.019
- He said, "no thank you..."
- 00:04:57.019 --> 00:04:58.421
- She closed the door and left him alone.
- 00:04:58.421 --> 00:05:02.158
- He said, "well, she said make myself at home..."
- 00:05:02.158 --> 00:05:04.193
- So he began to walk around, beautiful mahogany desk,
- 00:05:04.193 --> 00:05:08.131
- And he looked on the desk, and there were
- 00:05:08.131 --> 00:05:11.234
- The stack of bids from other contractors.
- 00:05:11.234 --> 00:05:14.904
- On the top, he noticed the name of the contractor that was his
- 00:05:14.904 --> 00:05:19.342
- Number one competition, getting this gigantic job, and he said,
- 00:05:19.342 --> 00:05:24.914
- "you know, if i could just see that figure there, that bid, and
- 00:05:24.914 --> 00:05:29.552
- If it happened to be lower than mine, i could adjust mine down
- 00:05:29.552 --> 00:05:34.056
- A little bit to be assured of getting this contract."
- 00:05:34.056 --> 00:05:37.927
- And he went over there,
- 00:05:37.927 --> 00:05:40.296
- But right over that number was a diet coke can.
- 00:05:40.296 --> 00:05:43.766
- And he said, you know...and he started to move it, and he said,
- 00:05:43.766 --> 00:05:47.637
- "no, no, no.
- 00:05:47.637 --> 00:05:48.971
- That would be dishonest..."
- 00:05:48.971 --> 00:05:51.507
- But he started to think about it.
- 00:05:51.507 --> 00:05:53.309
- He didn't hear anything.
- 00:05:53.309 --> 00:05:54.644
- He knew it would only take a few seconds-just open it,
- 00:05:54.644 --> 00:05:56.245
- Look at the number, put the can back down-zip!
- 00:05:56.245 --> 00:05:58.981
- And so he reached over and he grabbed that can, and bam!
- 00:05:58.981 --> 00:06:02.718
- To his amazement, it was full of b.b.'s,
- 00:06:02.718 --> 00:06:04.921
- And b.b's came out of that can!
- 00:06:04.921 --> 00:06:06.856
- (audience laughs)
- 00:06:06.856 --> 00:06:08.257
- Shweww! bang, bang!
- 00:06:08.257 --> 00:06:09.659
- All over the room.
- 00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:12.094
- And he knew he'd lost the job.
- 00:06:12.094 --> 00:06:16.365
- The law of unintended consequences set in upon him,
- 00:06:16.365 --> 00:06:20.937
- Did it not?
- 00:06:20.937 --> 00:06:23.372
- And that happens to us.
- 00:06:23.372 --> 00:06:25.041
- I think that happened to adam and eve in the garden.
- 00:06:25.041 --> 00:06:27.477
- Man, just eat of this fruit.
- 00:06:27.477 --> 00:06:29.278
- I mean, it looks delicious.
- 00:06:29.278 --> 00:06:31.180
- Man, he says, the snake says we'll be wise...
- 00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:34.951
- We'll be like-man, just, i want some of that fruit.
- 00:06:34.951 --> 00:06:38.488
- Here, adam, you have some.
- 00:06:38.488 --> 00:06:39.822
- This is, this is going to change everything!
- 00:06:39.822 --> 00:06:41.924
- We're going to be able to run our own lives!
- 00:06:41.924 --> 00:06:45.828
- But my goodness, the unintended consequences that we've all felt
- 00:06:45.828 --> 00:06:49.765
- From that sin, have we not?
- 00:06:49.765 --> 00:06:51.901
- All the way down through the generations.
- 00:06:51.901 --> 00:06:55.171
- And somehow, we look back in our lives,
- 00:06:55.171 --> 00:06:57.306
- And we see we've made this wrong choice.
- 00:06:57.306 --> 00:07:00.109
- We should have gone there, and we went there, and we should
- 00:07:00.109 --> 00:07:02.612
- Have said this, and we were silent, and we were too
- 00:07:02.612 --> 00:07:06.415
- Talkative, and we should have kept our mouths shut.
- 00:07:06.415 --> 00:07:09.051
- I mean, we can look back, and we see all these things have
- 00:07:09.051 --> 00:07:12.088
- Erupted in our lives, and because we've made
- 00:07:12.088 --> 00:07:15.124
- These wrong choices, (sniff, sniff, sniff...)
- 00:07:15.124 --> 00:07:17.260
- There's a stench that comes to us.
- 00:07:17.260 --> 00:07:21.564
- Most of you don't know anything about a skunk.
- 00:07:21.564 --> 00:07:24.367
- I was brought up in a rural area.
- 00:07:24.367 --> 00:07:26.702
- I know about skunks.
- 00:07:26.702 --> 00:07:28.304
- You can smell a skunk, i'm told,
- 00:07:28.304 --> 00:07:30.239
- If the wind's right, two miles away.
- 00:07:30.239 --> 00:07:32.408
- Pick up the scent.
- 00:07:32.408 --> 00:07:33.910
- If you ever get close to a skunk and really get the scent,
- 00:07:33.910 --> 00:07:35.645
- You'll understand what i'm talking about.
- 00:07:35.645 --> 00:07:38.714
- And i'll tell you, a bear won't mess with them;
- 00:07:38.714 --> 00:07:40.983
- A wolf won't mess with them.
- 00:07:40.983 --> 00:07:42.685
- They see that skunk-shwoooo, shwooo!
- 00:07:42.685 --> 00:07:44.587
- No, no-they stay away.
- 00:07:44.587 --> 00:07:46.822
- But in our lives, in our choices, we know,
- 00:07:46.822 --> 00:07:49.659
- "well, i picked up the skunk here,
- 00:07:49.659 --> 00:07:51.561
- And i did this thing over here..."
- 00:07:51.561 --> 00:07:53.529
- And we don't remember all those choices.
- 00:07:53.529 --> 00:07:56.032
- In fact, we don't even remember when we dropped the skunk;
- 00:07:56.032 --> 00:08:01.270
- But we do remember trying to breathe.
- 00:08:01.270 --> 00:08:06.042
- Oh yeah, we remember trying to breathe...
- 00:08:06.042 --> 00:08:08.244
- And we look around us today, and it looks like the whole world is
- 00:08:08.244 --> 00:08:12.181
- Trying to breathe because there's so much evil that's
- 00:08:12.181 --> 00:08:17.987
- Permeated, and, and has gone through every aspect of society,
- 00:08:17.987 --> 00:08:24.126
- And most of us don't know what to do about it, because evil has
- 00:08:24.126 --> 00:08:28.464
- Been marketed successfully over, and over, and over again, and we
- 00:08:28.464 --> 00:08:35.571
- Discovered that evil is inside of you and inside of me.
- 00:08:35.571 --> 00:08:41.077
- Boy, there is that jealousy there; there is that anger
- 00:08:41.077 --> 00:08:45.214
- There; there is that impatience there-my, my!
- 00:08:45.214 --> 00:08:48.718
- Evil gets inside.
- 00:08:48.718 --> 00:08:51.687
- Psychological problems...
- 00:08:51.687 --> 00:08:53.689
- Evil is beside us, sociological problems.
- 00:08:53.689 --> 00:08:56.492
- Evil is there.
- 00:08:56.492 --> 00:08:58.294
- We've been harmed; we've been abused.
- 00:08:58.294 --> 00:09:00.162
- We've been slandered.
- 00:09:00.162 --> 00:09:01.864
- We've been misunderstood, and, and evil is beside us.
- 00:09:01.864 --> 00:09:05.301
- It is inside us; it is beside us.
- 00:09:05.301 --> 00:09:07.269
- Evil is above us!
- 00:09:07.269 --> 00:09:10.339
- There's a supernatural aspect of evil we've already looked at.
- 00:09:10.339 --> 00:09:15.177
- And, there are demons, and we know because
- 00:09:15.177 --> 00:09:18.648
- Evil is so multi-faceted.
- 00:09:18.648 --> 00:09:21.751
- People say, "well, you christians,
- 00:09:21.751 --> 00:09:23.519
- You just have a simplistic view of evil."
- 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.655
- No we do not.
- 00:09:25.655 --> 00:09:27.523
- We know evil is pervasive.
- 00:09:27.523 --> 00:09:29.725
- It is multi-faceted.
- 00:09:29.725 --> 00:09:31.460
- It has many, many faces, and it is indeed inside,
- 00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:34.764
- And beside, and above us.
- 00:09:34.764 --> 00:09:37.967
- The question is, in the marketing of evil in the
- 00:09:37.967 --> 00:09:41.237
- 21st century, what is going on?
- 00:09:41.237 --> 00:09:46.042
- First of all, i want us to look at the marketing of evil in the
- 00:09:46.042 --> 00:09:49.945
- Family, and the process is, divide them.
- 00:09:49.945 --> 00:09:59.288
- Divide them.
- 00:09:59.288 --> 00:10:01.390
- Divide a family.
- 00:10:01.390 --> 00:10:04.093
- Look, look at the story in genesis that we read.
- 00:10:04.093 --> 00:10:07.296
- In the last few verses there, in fact the last verse of
- 00:10:07.296 --> 00:10:10.366
- Chapter 2, you got that formula for marriage:
- 00:10:10.366 --> 00:10:14.270
- Leave, cleave, one flesh-no shame.
- 00:10:14.270 --> 00:10:19.341
- Repeated in the new testament.
- 00:10:19.341 --> 00:10:21.210
- That's the formula, isn't it?
- 00:10:21.210 --> 00:10:22.712
- Leave all others?
- 00:10:22.712 --> 00:10:24.080
- Cleave?
- 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.548
- Superglued to one another?
- 00:10:25.548 --> 00:10:27.116
- One flesh, intimacy?
- 00:10:27.116 --> 00:10:28.651
- No shame!
- 00:10:28.651 --> 00:10:30.319
- You see, as long as there was unity in adam and eve, no shame.
- 00:10:30.319 --> 00:10:35.958
- But look when there came division, the woman, the man,
- 00:10:35.958 --> 00:10:42.264
- The serpent-they became shamed when they sinned, and they hid
- 00:10:42.264 --> 00:10:47.236
- In the garden-"who told you were naked, said god?
- 00:10:47.236 --> 00:10:51.073
- You've never been ashamed before."
- 00:10:51.073 --> 00:10:52.875
- You see, when there is division, there is shame.
- 00:10:52.875 --> 00:10:56.479
- When there is unity, there is no shame, and so we see how evil
- 00:10:56.479 --> 00:11:02.518
- Has been marketed in the family to cause division between
- 00:11:02.518 --> 00:11:06.756
- Man and woman, and parents and children.
- 00:11:06.756 --> 00:11:10.126
- Division comes in the family.
- 00:11:10.126 --> 00:11:11.961
- This is the working of the evil one.
- 00:11:11.961 --> 00:11:16.565
- And particularly, we look in the area of, the marketing of
- 00:11:16.565 --> 00:11:20.302
- Evil to our children and to our grandkids.
- 00:11:20.302 --> 00:11:24.640
- It is deadly.
- 00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:26.742
- Deadly...
- 00:11:26.742 --> 00:11:28.544
- I want you to look at 5 corporations
- 00:11:28.544 --> 00:11:30.813
- That you're familiar with.
- 00:11:30.813 --> 00:11:32.348
- They're on your screen.
- 00:11:32.348 --> 00:11:34.717
- The entertainment companies, which are a handful of massive
- 00:11:34.717 --> 00:11:38.287
- Conglomerates that own 4 of 5 music companies that sell
- 00:11:38.287 --> 00:11:43.793
- 90% of the music in the united states...
- 00:11:43.793 --> 00:11:45.928
- Think about that.
- 00:11:45.928 --> 00:11:47.563
- Those same companies also own all the film studios,
- 00:11:47.563 --> 00:11:51.901
- All the major t.v. networks,
- 00:11:51.901 --> 00:11:54.170
- All the t.v. stations
- 00:11:54.170 --> 00:11:55.971
- Pretty much in the ten largest markets, and they own
- 00:11:55.971 --> 00:11:58.607
- All or part of every single commercial cable channel.
- 00:11:58.607 --> 00:12:03.712
- This is a massive empire; they market evil through films,
- 00:12:03.712 --> 00:12:07.183
- Books, music, c.d.'s, internet asset, clothing, uh,
- 00:12:07.183 --> 00:12:12.221
- Amusement parks, sports teams.
- 00:12:12.221 --> 00:12:14.123
- They use all these weapons primarily to make
- 00:12:14.123 --> 00:12:16.525
- Money off the youth market.
- 00:12:16.525 --> 00:12:18.861
- There they are, ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:12:18.861 --> 00:12:21.363
- You say, "well, you know, there's nothing
- 00:12:21.363 --> 00:12:23.265
- Wrong with that," as they market it.
- 00:12:23.265 --> 00:12:25.801
- Have you watched m.t.v. lately?
- 00:12:25.801 --> 00:12:28.504
- I watched about 30 minutes of it this week.
- 00:12:28.504 --> 00:12:31.974
- I watched another maybe 10 or 15 minutes of it.
- 00:12:31.974 --> 00:12:34.276
- That's all i needed. that's all i needed.
- 00:12:34.276 --> 00:12:38.581
- If you haven't had that tragic experience, you need to.
- 00:12:38.581 --> 00:12:45.621
- M.t.v. is a total commercial.
- 00:12:45.621 --> 00:12:49.225
- Everything about it is a commercial.
- 00:12:49.225 --> 00:12:50.926
- This film, this music, this look,
- 00:12:50.926 --> 00:12:53.495
- This dress, this vocabulary.
- 00:12:53.495 --> 00:12:56.065
- And the two kids they caricature, though they're not
- 00:12:56.065 --> 00:13:00.369
- In personalities, but they keep displaying these two types of
- 00:13:00.369 --> 00:13:03.906
- Caricatures as sort of the role model for young teenagers,
- 00:13:03.906 --> 00:13:08.677
- All the way up to older teenagers.
- 00:13:08.677 --> 00:13:10.279
- First is the "mook."
- 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.780
- M.o.o.k.
- 00:13:11.780 --> 00:13:13.249
- Never heard of the mook.
- 00:13:13.249 --> 00:13:14.750
- Now the mook is not a person,
- 00:13:14.750 --> 00:13:16.352
- But it's sort of the ideal teenager, the mook.
- 00:13:16.352 --> 00:13:19.588
- This is a teenager who is filled with testosterone,
- 00:13:19.588 --> 00:13:23.993
- A teenager who is disrespectful to anybody and everybody.
- 00:13:23.993 --> 00:13:29.331
- He has sort of a narcissistic arrogance about them,
- 00:13:29.331 --> 00:13:32.167
- And it is the mook!
- 00:13:32.167 --> 00:13:33.736
- I mean the mook is a cool operator, and the mook is
- 00:13:33.736 --> 00:13:36.839
- Marketed for the kids, and they want to dress like the mook,
- 00:13:36.839 --> 00:13:40.809
- And talk down people like the mook, and fool
- 00:13:40.809 --> 00:13:44.246
- Their parents like the mook, and be slick like the mook.
- 00:13:44.246 --> 00:13:47.983
- The mook is the one, and it is a, primarily someone who sees
- 00:13:47.983 --> 00:13:52.488
- Everything with sexual innuendo.
- 00:13:52.488 --> 00:13:54.657
- The mook is marketed.
- 00:13:54.657 --> 00:13:57.426
- That's the guys.
- 00:13:57.426 --> 00:13:58.827
- What about the gals?
- 00:13:58.827 --> 00:14:00.562
- It's the midriff.
- 00:14:00.562 --> 00:14:01.964
- Once again, this is not a person, per se; it's just sort
- 00:14:01.964 --> 00:14:03.832
- Of the caricature you see, all the way,
- 00:14:03.832 --> 00:14:06.402
- What is marketed there to our kids.
- 00:14:06.402 --> 00:14:09.571
- And the girl is, the female is, whereas the mook
- 00:14:09.571 --> 00:14:14.843
- Is to stay an adolescent a long time-you know, howard stern,
- 00:14:14.843 --> 00:14:19.648
- Bill clinton are classic mooks.
- 00:14:19.648 --> 00:14:21.617
- (audience laughs)
- 00:14:21.617 --> 00:14:23.585
- They're still adolescents.
- 00:14:23.585 --> 00:14:27.189
- And when bill clinton's affair with monica lewinsky received
- 00:14:27.189 --> 00:14:30.426
- More coverage than the super bowl, let me tell you something:
- 00:14:30.426 --> 00:14:33.862
- That has played out til' today's culture, all the way to the
- 00:14:33.862 --> 00:14:36.832
- Middle school, as they get involved in things they did not
- 00:14:36.832 --> 00:14:40.602
- Know anything about or never thought about,
- 00:14:40.602 --> 00:14:43.072
- And that has been one of the deadliest,
- 00:14:43.072 --> 00:14:44.840
- Immoral things that still permeates our culture today.
- 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.577
- That is marketing evil big time!
- 00:14:48.577 --> 00:14:52.448
- Now, midriff is the girl.
- 00:14:52.448 --> 00:14:55.651
- She wants to be older.
- 00:14:55.651 --> 00:14:57.619
- Whereas the, the mook wants to stay an adolescent forever, and,
- 00:14:57.619 --> 00:15:02.191
- And you've got the older, the take a little kid, 3, 4, 5, 6,
- 00:15:02.191 --> 00:15:07.363
- And make them become some sort of sexual image-some sort of
- 00:15:07.363 --> 00:15:11.767
- Sensual kind of picture.
- 00:15:11.767 --> 00:15:13.602
- This is the midriff that they sell, trying to get our kids to
- 00:15:13.602 --> 00:15:17.072
- Grow up and be adults, to be adults; whereas the young kid is
- 00:15:17.072 --> 00:15:22.077
- Appeared to be an adult and older as some kind of sensual
- 00:15:22.077 --> 00:15:25.914
- Object, whereas, and by the way-a sex object.
- 00:15:25.914 --> 00:15:29.852
- That's how the females are taught.
- 00:15:29.852 --> 00:15:31.487
- And the kids think, "well, this is just
- 00:15:31.487 --> 00:15:33.355
- What we've come up with..."
- 00:15:33.355 --> 00:15:34.857
- Oh no.
- 00:15:34.857 --> 00:15:36.425
- You have been used and abused and marketed and programmed by
- 00:15:36.425 --> 00:15:40.629
- Those who are masters of deceit.
- 00:15:40.629 --> 00:15:45.601
- And this is where we are in the marketing of evil in our family.
- 00:15:45.601 --> 00:15:49.872
- Also, there is a marketing of evil in the church!
- 00:15:49.872 --> 00:15:55.511
- In the church?
- 00:15:55.511 --> 00:15:58.147
- And the market there is, "be silent!
- 00:15:58.147 --> 00:16:00.983
- Shhh!
- 00:16:00.983 --> 00:16:02.317
- Church, be silent!"
- 00:16:02.317 --> 00:16:04.520
- And then i want you to listen to this if you forget everything
- 00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:07.256
- I've ever said-no big deal-everything you know,
- 00:16:07.256 --> 00:16:10.826
- Forget it; but you need to understand this and
- 00:16:10.826 --> 00:16:13.162
- You gotta listen, because it's not easy to grasp.
- 00:16:13.162 --> 00:16:16.198
- I've dealt with it before, but it's exceedingly important.
- 00:16:16.198 --> 00:16:20.669
- Today, to silence the church, people begin to say, "well,
- 00:16:20.669 --> 00:16:26.508
- Don't you know about separation of church and state"?
- 00:16:26.508 --> 00:16:31.146
- Ladies and gentlemen!
- 00:16:31.146 --> 00:16:33.515
- I've got an announcement to make: separation, church, state,
- 00:16:33.515 --> 00:16:39.855
- Is not in the constitution or the bylaws.
- 00:16:39.855 --> 00:16:42.591
- You don't find the words there, and that (audience applauds).
- 00:16:42.591 --> 00:16:45.861
- And the way that is used is completely inaccurate.
- 00:16:45.861 --> 00:16:51.967
- Let me tell you where this came from.
- 00:16:51.967 --> 00:16:55.237
- Jefferson, third president elected.
- 00:16:55.237 --> 00:16:58.974
- Most all christians in america voted against jefferson to be
- 00:16:58.974 --> 00:17:02.277
- President, did you know that?
- 00:17:02.277 --> 00:17:03.912
- Because they said he wasn't a christian, and he wasn't.
- 00:17:03.912 --> 00:17:05.814
- He was a deist, at best.
- 00:17:05.814 --> 00:17:08.183
- But baptists voted for him.
- 00:17:08.183 --> 00:17:10.252
- Is that crazy?
- 00:17:10.252 --> 00:17:12.354
- Most every christian other denominations voted against
- 00:17:12.354 --> 00:17:14.923
- Jefferson because they, they thought he was a robus pierre in
- 00:17:14.923 --> 00:17:18.727
- The revolution of france, and he, he burned all the books.
- 00:17:18.727 --> 00:17:20.996
- They said, "jefferson gonna burn our bibles,
- 00:17:20.996 --> 00:17:22.698
- Even when he's elected.
- 00:17:22.698 --> 00:17:24.066
- Lot of christians would hi, would hide their bibles saying
- 00:17:24.066 --> 00:17:27.302
- The new president is going to make us burn all our bibles!
- 00:17:27.302 --> 00:17:28.971
- Oh yeah!
- 00:17:28.971 --> 00:17:30.305
- But the baptists voted for him!
- 00:17:30.305 --> 00:17:32.908
- What happened to us?
- 00:17:32.908 --> 00:17:34.610
- I'll tell you why.
- 00:17:34.610 --> 00:17:36.211
- Follow me carefully.
- 00:17:36.211 --> 00:17:37.813
- There were five states, part of the union.
- 00:17:37.813 --> 00:17:41.850
- Jefferson elected, and these five states had their own
- 00:17:41.850 --> 00:17:46.488
- Denominations, their own religions for that state.
- 00:17:46.488 --> 00:17:50.492
- For example, the state of connecticut, it was a state, and
- 00:17:50.492 --> 00:17:54.396
- They said you had to be a congregationalist.
- 00:17:54.396 --> 00:17:56.832
- You had to be a part of the congregational church.
- 00:17:56.832 --> 00:18:00.869
- And so, therefore, when the baptists who were in
- 00:18:00.869 --> 00:18:03.872
- Connecticut, a little remnant group there, they were being
- 00:18:03.872 --> 00:18:06.808
- Persecuted by the state and by the congregationalists because
- 00:18:06.808 --> 00:18:09.878
- They were not congregationalists;
- 00:18:09.878 --> 00:18:11.480
- They were baptists.
- 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:13.515
- And so when jefferson was elected, the baptists wrote and
- 00:18:13.515 --> 00:18:15.684
- Congratulated him, and the baptists said,
- 00:18:15.684 --> 00:18:20.055
- "will you help us?
- 00:18:20.055 --> 00:18:21.557
- We're under persecution because we're baptists
- 00:18:21.557 --> 00:18:23.425
- And not congregationalists."
- 00:18:23.425 --> 00:18:26.295
- And jefferson wrote back, thanked them for their support
- 00:18:26.295 --> 00:18:31.733
- And said, i wish there were a wall of separation--
- 00:18:31.733 --> 00:18:36.238
- I'm paraphrasing.
- 00:18:36.238 --> 00:18:37.673
- I've read all these letters time and time again.
- 00:18:37.673 --> 00:18:40.075
- Look through the federalist papers who explain it a clearer,
- 00:18:40.075 --> 00:18:42.678
- But anyway, he says, "i wish there were a wall of
- 00:18:42.678 --> 00:18:45.747
- Separation between the church at the state,
- 00:18:45.747 --> 00:18:50.652
- I.e. connecticut, and the baptist church and the
- 00:18:50.652 --> 00:18:55.290
- Congregational church, so as in the federal government.
- 00:18:55.290 --> 00:18:58.961
- The federal government doesn't say you have to be a part of
- 00:18:58.961 --> 00:19:01.730
- This religion, or this denomination.
- 00:19:01.730 --> 00:19:03.732
- I hope there would be a wall there that
- 00:19:03.732 --> 00:19:05.634
- Would be true of the states."
- 00:19:05.634 --> 00:19:07.369
- But it wasn't true of the states then, you understand that?
- 00:19:07.369 --> 00:19:10.839
- Many states, five of them, had their own denominations, and
- 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.142
- They said you have to be a part of this denomination.
- 00:19:14.142 --> 00:19:17.145
- The baptists were saying, "we want to have freedom where the
- 00:19:17.145 --> 00:19:19.514
- State doesn't impose religion on us," and said, "it's just like
- 00:19:19.514 --> 00:19:22.551
- It is in the united states of america."
- 00:19:22.551 --> 00:19:24.386
- And to have the idea that somehow this teaches that
- 00:19:25.988 --> 00:19:29.491
- The church can't speak to the state?
- 00:19:29.491 --> 00:19:33.128
- Have you ever been to washington?
- 00:19:33.128 --> 00:19:35.430
- Have you ever looked at a dollar bill?
- 00:19:35.430 --> 00:19:37.899
- Have you ever looked on the side of the supreme court building?
- 00:19:37.899 --> 00:19:40.435
- Ever looked inside the supreme court building?
- 00:19:40.435 --> 00:19:42.704
- You have scripture, and words, and references to god, and
- 00:19:42.704 --> 00:19:45.841
- Christ, and the commandments all over who we are.
- 00:19:45.841 --> 00:19:49.077
- We are a judeo-christian nation.
- 00:19:49.077 --> 00:19:52.347
- The state cannot dictate to us how we are to worship; but as
- 00:19:52.347 --> 00:19:56.451
- Free men and women from the walk of god, we can certainly speak
- 00:19:56.451 --> 00:20:00.822
- God's truth and god's word to the state!
- 00:20:00.822 --> 00:20:03.692
- That is a part of why we're americans!
- 00:20:03.692 --> 00:20:07.095
- (audience applauds).
- 00:20:07.095 --> 00:20:11.933
- So evil is marketed to the church to keep us silent.
- 00:20:11.933 --> 00:20:18.040
- Also, evil is marketed in the church when the church, as paul
- 00:20:18.040 --> 00:20:23.912
- Says in ii corinthians chapter 11, preaches another gospel.
- 00:20:23.912 --> 00:20:28.784
- Another gospel.
- 00:20:28.784 --> 00:20:31.953
- What is usually the, "another gospel" we have in the church.
- 00:20:31.953 --> 00:20:34.990
- You know what it is?
- 00:20:34.990 --> 00:20:36.992
- It's a gospel of prosperity and happiness.
- 00:20:36.992 --> 00:20:41.997
- It's the idea that-well, a man expressed it to me.
- 00:20:41.997 --> 00:20:45.667
- He said, "pastor, i'm going to divorce my wife,
- 00:20:45.667 --> 00:20:49.037
- Because i am just absolutely miserable.
- 00:20:49.037 --> 00:20:51.840
- I know god hates divorce, but god will forgive me of divorcing
- 00:20:51.840 --> 00:20:55.744
- My wife, because i know he wants me to be happy."
- 00:20:55.744 --> 00:21:01.650
- See, happiness above-oh, you, you have to be happy.
- 00:21:01.650 --> 00:21:05.554
- If you're not happy, oh my goodness!
- 00:21:05.554 --> 00:21:07.656
- Ladies and gentlemen, god didn't call us
- 00:21:07.656 --> 00:21:09.658
- In christ to live in a playground.
- 00:21:09.658 --> 00:21:14.162
- (audience applauds).
- 00:21:14.162 --> 00:21:15.964
- We live in a battleground, and that battleground is where
- 00:21:15.964 --> 00:21:18.600
- Evil is permeating everything around us.
- 00:21:18.600 --> 00:21:22.237
- Doesn't mean, "well, everything's gotta be negative.
- 00:21:22.237 --> 00:21:24.206
- Everything's gotta be--"
- 00:21:24.206 --> 00:21:25.774
- Oh no.
- 00:21:25.774 --> 00:21:27.442
- In the middle of that battle ground, when it becomes a holy
- 00:21:27.442 --> 00:21:29.277
- Ground and we come to know god in christ in the middle of
- 00:21:29.277 --> 00:21:31.646
- Whatever storms that come, or the beautiful sun shiny days, we
- 00:21:31.646 --> 00:21:35.817
- Still are committed, and we are still at peace with him.
- 00:21:35.817 --> 00:21:39.321
- Listen-jesus isn't the path to happiness; jesus is happiness!
- 00:21:39.321 --> 00:21:46.595
- You see?
- 00:21:46.595 --> 00:21:47.929
- (audience applauds).
- 00:21:47.929 --> 00:21:49.631
- That's what we have to understand.
- 00:21:49.631 --> 00:21:51.366
- This is how jesus talked.
- 00:21:51.366 --> 00:21:53.101
- This is how he talked.
- 00:21:53.101 --> 00:21:54.669
- By the way, i bumped into this, this week.
- 00:21:54.669 --> 00:21:56.338
- Ya'll probably already knew this.
- 00:21:56.338 --> 00:21:57.906
- I bumped into something i just missed.
- 00:21:57.906 --> 00:21:59.775
- You know, jesus in his teaching, he'd always open with,
- 00:21:59.775 --> 00:22:02.611
- "truly," or "verily, verily..."
- 00:22:02.611 --> 00:22:05.313
- Or literally, he's saying, "amen, amen."
- 00:22:05.313 --> 00:22:08.283
- Interesting.
- 00:22:08.283 --> 00:22:09.651
- Now in jesus day, when a rabbi would stand up and teach in the
- 00:22:09.651 --> 00:22:12.621
- Synagogue, he'd open the scroll, the torah.
- 00:22:12.621 --> 00:22:18.927
- He'd read, and he'd teach.
- 00:22:18.927 --> 00:22:21.630
- Now the old elders sat over there in the synagogue.
- 00:22:21.630 --> 00:22:23.698
- If they approved of what he said, when he was finished,
- 00:22:23.698 --> 00:22:26.735
- They'd say, "amen, amen, amen, amen..."
- 00:22:26.735 --> 00:22:31.039
- Or, "verily, verily, verily..."
- 00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.642
- Or, "truly, truly, truly..."
- 00:22:33.642 --> 00:22:35.243
- Same word.
- 00:22:35.243 --> 00:22:37.312
- When jesus taught, he opened up with "amen."
- 00:22:37.312 --> 00:22:42.250
- He opened up with "verily, verily..."
- 00:22:42.250 --> 00:22:44.586
- He opened up with "truly, truly..."
- 00:22:44.586 --> 00:22:46.521
- What's he saying?
- 00:22:46.521 --> 00:22:47.923
- He's saying, "folks, it doesn't matter what you think about what
- 00:22:47.923 --> 00:22:50.892
- I'm saying.
- 00:22:50.892 --> 00:22:52.961
- If it doesn't meet your expectations; it doesn't even
- 00:22:52.961 --> 00:22:55.864
- Measure up to common sense..."
- 00:22:55.864 --> 00:22:57.532
- Jesus say, "it doesn't make any difference because i was here
- 00:22:57.532 --> 00:23:00.802
- Before the foundation of the world, and i know the hearts of
- 00:23:00.802 --> 00:23:03.705
- Every single one of you, and i'm no speaking this to have a
- 00:23:03.705 --> 00:23:06.942
- Debate, or let you spin it, nor say you understand."
- 00:23:06.942 --> 00:23:09.344
- He said, "i'm speaking the truth from god because i am god.
- 00:23:09.344 --> 00:23:12.681
- Verily, verily.
- 00:23:12.681 --> 00:23:14.149
- Amen, amen!"
- 00:23:14.149 --> 00:23:16.585
- (audience applauds)
- 00:23:16.585 --> 00:23:18.653
- Therefore, we're under the authority of this book, and this
- 00:23:18.653 --> 00:23:23.291
- Book tells us, with all the marketing of evil in the family
- 00:23:23.291 --> 00:23:30.298
- To divide it, to corrupt our kids; all the marketing of evil
- 00:23:30.298 --> 00:23:36.671
- In the church to silence it, and to distort and preach another
- 00:23:36.671 --> 00:23:43.879
- Jesus that's not the true jesus-with all of that as we are
- 00:23:43.879 --> 00:23:49.751
- In christ, he that's in you, he that's in me is greater than
- 00:23:49.751 --> 00:23:54.189
- The evil marketing that is in the world.
- 00:23:54.189 --> 00:23:58.460
- And therefore, as we already heard by song-not just words,
- 00:23:58.460 --> 00:24:04.499
- But even in a broken, evil world, there still is
- 00:24:04.499 --> 00:24:09.804
- Individually and collectively victory in jesus christ!
- 00:24:09.804 --> 00:24:16.912
- Pastor ed: have you ever tried to read a historical novel out
- 00:24:19.281 --> 00:24:21.950
- Of order?
- 00:24:21.950 --> 00:24:23.752
- It would be hard if not impossible to understand the
- 00:24:23.752 --> 00:24:25.887
- Plot, wouldn't it?
- 00:24:25.887 --> 00:24:27.789
- And yet we read and study the bible in much the same way.
- 00:24:27.789 --> 00:24:31.026
- Like a novel, the bible tells a story with a beginning,
- 00:24:31.026 --> 00:24:33.962
- A middle, and end, and when you read in chronological order, you
- 00:24:33.962 --> 00:24:37.699
- Will see history unfold in a new and understandable and
- 00:24:37.699 --> 00:24:41.536
- Memorable way.
- 00:24:41.536 --> 00:24:43.371
- Listen, in this new year, i want to challenge you to read through
- 00:24:43.371 --> 00:24:46.541
- The bible in 52 weeks.
- 00:24:46.541 --> 00:24:49.644
- When you give "the winning walk," this month, we want to
- 00:24:49.644 --> 00:24:52.147
- Send you a one-year chronological bible.
- 00:24:52.147 --> 00:24:55.884
- It's arranged in daily readings that will take about 15 minutes
- 00:24:55.884 --> 00:24:59.454
- To read each day, at the end of 52 weeks, you will know and
- 00:24:59.454 --> 00:25:03.091
- Understand like never before the full story of the bible.
- 00:25:03.091 --> 00:25:09.264
- Male announcer: to get your copy of the one-year chronological
- 00:25:09.331 --> 00:25:11.266

- 00:25:11.266 --> 00:25:13.735
- At winningwalk.org.
- 00:25:13.735 --> 00:25:15.203
- Pastor ed young: it's terrific when i am able to kneel
- 00:25:17.072 --> 00:25:19.441
- Before i get in bed at night and i have a little ritual that i go
- 00:25:19.441 --> 00:25:23.311
- Through - it's an acrostic because, the number one problem
- 00:25:23.311 --> 00:25:26.848
- In my life is myself and i'm guessing
- 00:25:26.848 --> 00:25:30.418
- The biggest problem you have is self.
- 00:25:30.418 --> 00:25:34.189
- Therefore i like to go to sleep every night and i kneel by my
- 00:25:34.189 --> 00:25:38.627
- Bed and i put my hands down on the bed and
- 00:25:38.627 --> 00:25:42.731
- I spell out a little acrostic: self.
- 00:25:42.731 --> 00:25:47.268
- First of all i say, lord i surrender to you
- 00:25:47.268 --> 00:25:50.338
- I give you my life i surrender.
- 00:25:50.338 --> 00:25:53.375
- And then still my hands down i pray a prayer and i empty my
- 00:25:53.375 --> 00:25:57.612
- Life of all the debris i may have picked up that day.
- 00:25:57.612 --> 00:26:01.282
- Time of confession, etc, etc.
- 00:26:01.282 --> 00:26:03.918
- I sort of empty my life and that's the e.
- 00:26:03.918 --> 00:26:07.022
- And the l is i just love god i lift my hands on my knees by
- 00:26:07.022 --> 00:26:11.993
- The bed i lift my hands up.
- 00:26:11.993 --> 00:26:13.828
- I just spend time loving the lord and thanking him.
- 00:26:13.828 --> 00:26:17.298
- And then the f, i say lord fill me with your spirit, tonight,
- 00:26:17.298 --> 00:26:21.770
- And help me to dream dreams about you.
- 00:26:21.770 --> 00:26:24.572
- Keep my mind and heart pure while i sleep and i'm refreshed.
- 00:26:24.572 --> 00:26:29.678
- I don't know, i like to go to bed that way.
- 00:26:29.678 --> 00:26:33.081
- In the morning i like to roll out of bed
- 00:26:33.081 --> 00:26:35.583
- And sort of land on my knees.
- 00:26:35.583 --> 00:26:37.719
- A good exercise to begin your day.
- 00:26:37.719 --> 00:26:40.255
- And i do the same thing again.
- 00:26:40.255 --> 00:26:42.323
- I just say, lord, i surrender this day to you.
- 00:26:42.323 --> 00:26:46.728
- I surrender to you.
- 00:26:46.728 --> 00:26:48.697
- And i say lord i empty, i empty myself right
- 00:26:48.697 --> 00:26:51.466
- Now for this new day you have for me.
- 00:26:51.466 --> 00:26:53.835
- And lord, i love you and lord fill me with your spirit.
- 00:26:53.835 --> 00:26:58.740
- Self.

- Knee to knee.

- Last thing that touches the floor at night
- 00:27:02.377 --> 00:27:04.946
- - you're on your knees.
- 00:27:04.946 --> 00:27:06.548
