  • 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
  • Bible, call the number on your screen or go online
  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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
