The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Fainting Goats | March 12, 2026
  • It's always
  • 00:00:02.247 --> 00:00:03.082
  • Scary to ask somebody to mentor you,
  • 00:00:03.082 --> 00:00:06.118
  • Or to go and tell somebody to teach you
  • 00:00:06.118 --> 00:00:09.088
  • How to do something, because they'll discover
  • 00:00:09.088 --> 00:00:12.357
  • We're not as smart as they thought we were.
  • 00:00:13.258 --> 00:00:16.595
  • We're not as receptive as they thought we were.
  • 00:00:16.595 --> 00:00:20.499
  • We frayed at
  • 00:00:20.499 --> 00:00:21.934
  • We got under one of these teachers
  • 00:00:21.934 --> 00:00:23.902
  • That they will just sort of expose us.
  • 00:00:23.902 --> 00:00:26.171
  • But jesus says,
  • 00:00:26.171 --> 00:00:28.207
  • Come,
  • 00:00:28.207 --> 00:00:30.576
  • Take my yoke upon you and learn of me.
  • 00:00:30.576 --> 00:00:33.011
  • Get in my school.
  • 00:00:33.011 --> 00:00:34.046
  • And he tells us, he says, i am gentle
  • 00:00:34.046 --> 00:00:37.216
  • And i█m humble.
  • 00:00:37.216 --> 00:00:57.503
  • There's
  • 00:00:57.736 --> 00:00:58.403
  • A special category of goats
  • 00:00:58.403 --> 00:01:02.541
  • Myotonic goats,
  • 00:01:02.908 --> 00:01:05.244
  • And they're called fainting goats.
  • 00:01:05.244 --> 00:01:08.947
  • Did you know that?
  • 00:01:09.381 --> 00:01:11.083
  • And these goats, by the way,
  • 00:01:11.083 --> 00:01:13.185
  • They have the finest cashmere of any goat, by the way.
  • 00:01:13.185 --> 00:01:17.723
  • Cashmere comes only from goats.
  • 00:01:17.723 --> 00:01:20.759
  • How many knew that?
  • 00:01:20.759 --> 00:01:21.760
  • Don't lie in church.
  • 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.128
  • How many already knew that cashmere comes?
  • 00:01:23.128 --> 00:01:26.798
  • I didn't know that.
  • 00:01:26.798 --> 00:01:28.634
  • But. but these fainting
  • 00:01:29.134 --> 00:01:31.136
  • Goats have the highest quality of cashmere and cashmere.
  • 00:01:31.136 --> 00:01:34.773
  • It's not a fur. it's.
  • 00:01:34.773 --> 00:01:36.742
  • It's hair.
  • 00:01:36.742 --> 00:01:38.944
  • And they would harvest that hair from these goats, and
  • 00:01:38.944 --> 00:01:41.813
  • And cashmere is three times warmer than wool.
  • 00:01:41.813 --> 00:01:45.184
  • I mean, by wool, by sheep's wool.
  • 00:01:45.184 --> 00:01:48.420
  • Because the word wool doesn't necessarily mean a sheep.
  • 00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:51.590
  • It's just a matted part that they take off of certain
  • 00:01:51.590 --> 00:01:54.459
  • Animals different from hair and skin, etc..
  • 00:01:54.459 --> 00:01:57.362
  • So these fainting goats are unusual animals.
  • 00:01:58.263 --> 00:02:03.202
  • You cannot herd them.
  • 00:02:03.202 --> 00:02:05.604
  • They just won't herd these goats.
  • 00:02:05.604 --> 00:02:08.574
  • When a wolf comes
  • 00:02:08.574 --> 00:02:10.642
  • Or when a shepherd comes, they don't know the difference.
  • 00:02:10.642 --> 00:02:12.811
  • They just go stiff and faint. bam!
  • 00:02:12.811 --> 00:02:15.914
  • They go down stiff, bam.
  • 00:02:15.914 --> 00:02:18.951
  • They're down.
  • 00:02:18.951 --> 00:02:20.152
  • That's just how they operate.
  • 00:02:20.152 --> 00:02:22.821
  • And if a shepherd goes and wants to take
  • 00:02:22.821 --> 00:02:25.624
  • A parasite off one of them, they're frightened.
  • 00:02:25.624 --> 00:02:28.026
  • Back down.
  • 00:02:28.026 --> 00:02:29.161
  • You can't hurt them.
  • 00:02:29.161 --> 00:02:30.929
  • They'll not be led.
  • 00:02:30.929 --> 00:02:32.564
  • They don't know the difference.
  • 00:02:32.564 --> 00:02:33.799
  • And up and down and they get lost.
  • 00:02:33.799 --> 00:02:36.034
  • And they're very unusual animals.
  • 00:02:36.034 --> 00:02:38.103
  • Therefore they're almost extinct.
  • 00:02:38.103 --> 00:02:40.472
  • And they keep a
  • 00:02:40.839 --> 00:02:41.807
  • Few of them, and they put them into herds
  • 00:02:41.807 --> 00:02:44.643
  • Of no more goats, and they use them.
  • 00:02:44.643 --> 00:02:48.747
  • Well, i'll tell you exactly how they use them.
  • 00:02:48.747 --> 00:02:50.749
  • When, when the wolves come,
  • 00:02:50.749 --> 00:02:52.551
  • All the normal goats, they run away.
  • 00:02:52.551 --> 00:02:54.720
  • But the finding goes, they go boom, bam.
  • 00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:57.789
  • And that's what the wolves get to eat.
  • 00:02:57.789 --> 00:02:59.658
  • It protects. they become a meal.
  • 00:02:59.658 --> 00:03:02.027
  • So the wolves will be satisfied
  • 00:03:02.027 --> 00:03:03.595
  • And not pursue the rest of the goats.
  • 00:03:03.595 --> 00:03:05.330
  • The rest of the goats.
  • 00:03:05.330 --> 00:03:06.331
  • They have cashmere, but not near as valuable
  • 00:03:06.331 --> 00:03:09.167
  • As that you find on this particular breed of goats.
  • 00:03:09.167 --> 00:03:13.739
  • I thought about that,
  • 00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:16.475
  • And i knew this story, and i saw this question
  • 00:03:16.475 --> 00:03:19.678
  • With what can we compare
  • 00:03:19.678 --> 00:03:22.347
  • This generation?
  • 00:03:22.347 --> 00:03:24.816
  • And i think a pretty good comparison would be
  • 00:03:24.816 --> 00:03:27.986
  • Finding goats.
  • 00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:31.323
  • We are a lot
  • 00:03:31.657 --> 00:03:33.125
  • Like those fighting goats,
  • 00:03:33.125 --> 00:03:36.161
  • And i want you to see it biblically.
  • 00:03:36.161 --> 00:03:39.197
  • Jesus here would say to us that
  • 00:03:39.831 --> 00:03:43.101
  • Fainting goats, that you and i, that's our generation.
  • 00:03:43.101 --> 00:03:46.905
  • They do not repent.
  • 00:03:47.372 --> 00:03:50.442
  • Listen carefully with that in mind that our scripture
  • 00:03:50.442 --> 00:03:53.278
  • To matthew, chapter number
  • 00:03:53.278 --> 00:03:56.048
  • In chapter number
  • 00:03:56.048 --> 00:03:58.850
  • 11, if you would,
  • 00:03:59.284 --> 00:04:01.586
  • Beginning with verse 20,
  • 00:04:01.586 --> 00:04:05.524
  • Then he, jesus
  • 00:04:05.857 --> 00:04:07.693
  • Began to denounce the cities in which
  • 00:04:07.693 --> 00:04:10.495
  • Most of his miracles were done, because they did not repent.
  • 00:04:10.495 --> 00:04:14.766
  • There's our word.
  • 00:04:14.766 --> 00:04:15.701
  • Remember, fainting goats do not repent.
  • 00:04:15.701 --> 00:04:18.403
  • Woe to you carousing.
  • 00:04:18.904 --> 00:04:21.173
  • Woe to you, bethsaida!
  • 00:04:21.173 --> 00:04:22.941
  • For if the miracles had occurred in tire and sidon,
  • 00:04:22.941 --> 00:04:26.211
  • Which occurred in you,
  • 00:04:26.211 --> 00:04:27.746
  • They would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
  • 00:04:27.746 --> 00:04:31.149
  • Verse 22.
  • 00:04:31.450 --> 00:04:32.584
  • Nevertheless i say to you, it will be more tolerable
  • 00:04:32.584 --> 00:04:36.922
  • For tire and sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
  • 00:04:36.922 --> 00:04:41.093
  • What is jesus saying?
  • 00:04:41.093 --> 00:04:42.928
  • Stay with me.
  • 00:04:42.928 --> 00:04:44.162
  • Our question
  • 00:04:44.162 --> 00:04:45.430
  • What can we compare the generation with our generation?
  • 00:04:45.430 --> 00:04:48.700
  • That generation, i think the fading ghost.
  • 00:04:48.700 --> 00:04:50.936
  • Fading ghosts do not repent by repent.
  • 00:04:50.936 --> 00:04:53.505
  • We made change.
  • 00:04:53.505 --> 00:04:55.574
  • Turn around.
  • 00:04:55.574 --> 00:04:56.908
  • Go in a different direction.
  • 00:04:56.908 --> 00:04:58.677
  • See danger that is coming and respond to it.
  • 00:04:58.677 --> 00:05:02.114
  • They just flop.
  • 00:05:02.114 --> 00:05:05.217
  • Flop.
  • 00:05:05.450 --> 00:05:06.718
  • That's the way a lot of us, our ladies and gentlemen,
  • 00:05:06.718 --> 00:05:09.821
  • Is when we're confronted with truth, with a new life,
  • 00:05:09.821 --> 00:05:13.191
  • With changes.
  • 00:05:13.191 --> 00:05:14.326
  • We say, you know, i'm just going to stay this s.o.s.,
  • 00:05:14.326 --> 00:05:16.461
  • Same old stuff.
  • 00:05:16.461 --> 00:05:17.529
  • The status quo was good enough for me.
  • 00:05:17.529 --> 00:05:19.698
  • And we refuse to repent and refuse to change.
  • 00:05:19.698 --> 00:05:23.001
  • And jesus saying that's what happened to these two cities
  • 00:05:23.001 --> 00:05:26.905
  • That i've spent so much time in.
  • 00:05:26.905 --> 00:05:29.841
  • Bethsaida garrison.
  • 00:05:30.308 --> 00:05:33.111
  • Two cities there.
  • 00:05:33.111 --> 00:05:34.346
  • He said, i perform miracles.
  • 00:05:34.346 --> 00:05:37.048
  • You've seen the blind being able to see you,
  • 00:05:37.048 --> 00:05:40.385
  • Seen those who are dead be brought back to life.
  • 00:05:40.385 --> 00:05:43.388
  • And these cities are very close
  • 00:05:43.388 --> 00:05:45.023
  • There to the mount of beatitudes.
  • 00:05:45.023 --> 00:05:46.858
  • They have heard the sermon on the mount.
  • 00:05:46.858 --> 00:05:48.894
  • They have heard the sermon on the plane.
  • 00:05:48.894 --> 00:05:50.962
  • They had watched him,
  • 00:05:50.962 --> 00:05:52.130
  • And they had watched what he did and what he said.
  • 00:05:52.130 --> 00:05:56.067
  • Now notice something about jesus.
  • 00:05:56.067 --> 00:05:58.403
  • Much about our lord is unique, but there's uniqueness
  • 00:05:58.403 --> 00:06:01.973
  • Here in that.
  • 00:06:01.973 --> 00:06:02.874
  • What he said and what he taught,
  • 00:06:02.874 --> 00:06:05.377
  • That is what he lived up to.
  • 00:06:05.377 --> 00:06:07.913
  • Find another major religious leader
  • 00:06:07.913 --> 00:06:10.682
  • And was a major, a leader of the world.
  • 00:06:10.682 --> 00:06:12.584
  • And you can see that it doesn't happen.
  • 00:06:12.584 --> 00:06:14.920
  • He lived on the basis of what he taught.
  • 00:06:15.754 --> 00:06:18.623
  • And here he has these two cities.
  • 00:06:18.623 --> 00:06:21.593
  • He spent time there teaching
  • 00:06:21.593 --> 00:06:23.895
  • And leading and performing supernatural signs.
  • 00:06:23.895 --> 00:06:28.266
  • A miracle in the bible is assigned it.
  • 00:06:28.266 --> 00:06:31.169
  • It points you in the right direction
  • 00:06:31.169 --> 00:06:33.472
  • When you're going in the wrong direction.
  • 00:06:33.472 --> 00:06:35.073
  • That's where the word repent is it?
  • 00:06:35.073 --> 00:06:36.675
  • I'm going this way.
  • 00:06:36.675 --> 00:06:37.876
  • I repent, i do an about face.
  • 00:06:37.876 --> 00:06:39.644
  • I go in the opposite way.
  • 00:06:39.644 --> 00:06:41.613
  • That is repentance.
  • 00:06:41.613 --> 00:06:42.681
  • He said you didn't repent.
  • 00:06:42.681 --> 00:06:44.249
  • Jesus said, if i'd spent as much time
  • 00:06:44.249 --> 00:06:47.752
  • In tire and sidon.
  • 00:06:48.186 --> 00:06:50.489
  • These are two phoenician cities.
  • 00:06:50.489 --> 00:06:52.958
  • And they were pagan cities, godless
  • 00:06:52.958 --> 00:06:55.227
  • Cities, immoral cities inhabited by corrupt people.
  • 00:06:55.227 --> 00:06:59.130
  • Jesus said,
  • 00:06:59.130 --> 00:07:00.365
  • If they had seen in tire and sidon the miracles i perform,
  • 00:07:00.365 --> 00:07:04.102
  • And if they've heard the teaching that you have heard,
  • 00:07:04.102 --> 00:07:06.738
  • Let me tell you,
  • 00:07:06.738 --> 00:07:07.806
  • They would have repented and they would still be on
  • 00:07:07.806 --> 00:07:10.408
  • God's side.
  • 00:07:10.408 --> 00:07:11.476
  • But he said, you've heard, and you did not repent.
  • 00:07:11.476 --> 00:07:14.546
  • Therefore your judgment is going to be
  • 00:07:14.546 --> 00:07:17.349
  • More severe than those who were pagans,
  • 00:07:17.349 --> 00:07:22.153
  • By the way.
  • 00:07:22.487 --> 00:07:23.321
  • There will be a time of judgment.
  • 00:07:23.321 --> 00:07:26.157
  • Everybody says we like justice.
  • 00:07:26.157 --> 00:07:27.993
  • In order for justice to take place in eternity,
  • 00:07:27.993 --> 00:07:31.796
  • There has to be judgment.
  • 00:07:31.796 --> 00:07:33.665
  • And jesus say, these godless cities
  • 00:07:33.665 --> 00:07:36.001
  • Are going to be in better shape then.
  • 00:07:36.001 --> 00:07:37.802
  • Then you have had so much life
  • 00:07:37.802 --> 00:07:41.273
  • And you continue to walk in the darkness.
  • 00:07:41.273 --> 00:07:44.175
  • That scares me.
  • 00:07:44.543 --> 00:07:47.012
  • That really scares me,
  • 00:07:47.012 --> 00:07:48.947
  • And it should scare all of us.
  • 00:07:48.947 --> 00:07:51.116
  • So what do we compare this generation to?
  • 00:07:51.116 --> 00:07:54.219
  • Fainting goats that do not repent?
  • 00:07:54.219 --> 00:07:56.855
  • Also something else.
  • 00:07:56.855 --> 00:07:58.423
  • He talks about another town.
  • 00:07:58.423 --> 00:08:00.859
  • He talks about capernaum.
  • 00:08:00.859 --> 00:08:02.427
  • Capernaum was jesus headquarters,
  • 00:08:02.427 --> 00:08:05.664
  • And he goes on the next verses and he says, all the light
  • 00:08:05.664 --> 00:08:09.334
  • That i have given to capernaum, the miracles
  • 00:08:09.334 --> 00:08:11.870
  • You've seen there, everything that's happened there.
  • 00:08:11.870 --> 00:08:15.073
  • He says, look, capernaum, you're going to be judged
  • 00:08:15.073 --> 00:08:18.143
  • More severely because you've continued
  • 00:08:18.143 --> 00:08:21.413
  • To be a fainting
  • 00:08:21.813 --> 00:08:22.914
  • Goat, which say, continued, you stay where you are.
  • 00:08:22.914 --> 00:08:26.251
  • Oh, you know what new miracle you do to follow me today,
  • 00:08:26.251 --> 00:08:30.221
  • You know.
  • 00:08:30.221 --> 00:08:31.456
  • And he says it's going to be severe judgment on capernaum.
  • 00:08:31.456 --> 00:08:34.659
  • Then there's on sodom,
  • 00:08:34.659 --> 00:08:36.928
  • The most godly, godless city in existence.
  • 00:08:36.928 --> 00:08:39.564
  • Jesus said
  • 00:08:39.564 --> 00:08:40.632
  • Sodom wouldn't have been under the judgment of god.
  • 00:08:40.632 --> 00:08:44.336
  • Has i heard the light and the truth that you have heard?
  • 00:08:44.336 --> 00:08:47.973
  • So we see the importance of repentance.
  • 00:08:48.773 --> 00:08:52.344
  • We cannot get to the point that we are so complacent,
  • 00:08:52.344 --> 00:08:56.648
  • So indifferent that we continue to walk in darkness.
  • 00:08:56.648 --> 00:09:01.553
  • When christ has said, i've given you all this truth,
  • 00:09:01.553 --> 00:09:04.689
  • You can walk in the light so faint in goats.
  • 00:09:04.689 --> 00:09:08.660
  • They just stiffen up.
  • 00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:10.729
  • Stay where they are now.
  • 00:09:10.729 --> 00:09:12.297
  • They didn't do anything bad.
  • 00:09:12.297 --> 00:09:13.398
  • Notice there's no indictment of any particular sin.
  • 00:09:13.398 --> 00:09:16.835
  • They just didn't do anything.
  • 00:09:17.469 --> 00:09:19.304
  • Yeah. they just.
  • 00:09:19.304 --> 00:09:20.271
  • They just pay. bam!
  • 00:09:20.271 --> 00:09:22.874
  • Fine. and go refuse for a bit.
  • 00:09:22.874 --> 00:09:24.342
  • Also we see jesus says fainting goats if that's the symbol,
  • 00:09:24.342 --> 00:09:28.813
  • If that's the metaphor we're using for our generation,
  • 00:09:28.813 --> 00:09:31.916
  • They do not respond to revelation.
  • 00:09:31.916 --> 00:09:33.952
  • What is revelation? it is truth.
  • 00:09:33.952 --> 00:09:36.521
  • Look at verse 25, chapter 11.
  • 00:09:37.155 --> 00:09:39.024
  • Matthew.
  • 00:09:39.024 --> 00:09:40.058
  • At that time jesus said, i praise you, father.
  • 00:09:40.058 --> 00:09:43.995
  • This is the prayer of jesus, lord of heaven and earth,
  • 00:09:43.995 --> 00:09:47.632
  • That you have hidden these things from the wise
  • 00:09:47.632 --> 00:09:50.669
  • And the intelligent, and have revealed them to infant.
  • 00:09:50.669 --> 00:09:53.772
  • Yes, father, for this way was well pleasing in your sight.
  • 00:09:53.772 --> 00:09:58.910
  • What is he saying?
  • 00:09:58.910 --> 00:10:00.645
  • He is saying in this prayer he's saying,
  • 00:10:00.645 --> 00:10:02.547
  • This is the father's way to speak to people.
  • 00:10:02.547 --> 00:10:05.350
  • This is the way of truth.
  • 00:10:05.917 --> 00:10:07.252
  • Let me tell you, a lot of people kind of.
  • 00:10:07.252 --> 00:10:09.821
  • Well, i want god to do this.
  • 00:10:09.821 --> 00:10:11.589
  • Or why did god do that?
  • 00:10:11.589 --> 00:10:13.091
  • And i don't understand his working.
  • 00:10:13.091 --> 00:10:15.293
  • I don't understand his uniqueness
  • 00:10:15.293 --> 00:10:17.195
  • Of his salvation plan.
  • 00:10:17.195 --> 00:10:18.863
  • I'm the way and the truth.
  • 00:10:18.863 --> 00:10:20.365
  • The life that's too exclusive for me.
  • 00:10:20.365 --> 00:10:23.468
  • That's not inclusive enough for me.
  • 00:10:23.468 --> 00:10:26.137
  • Listen, go back to isaiah 55.
  • 00:10:26.137 --> 00:10:29.140
  • Great, great verse.
  • 00:10:29.607 --> 00:10:30.775
  • You all have it. mark your bible.
  • 00:10:30.775 --> 00:10:32.510
  • I'll paraphrase it.
  • 00:10:32.510 --> 00:10:34.312
  • It says, as the heavens are higher
  • 00:10:34.312 --> 00:10:37.415
  • Than the earth, you with me?
  • 00:10:37.415 --> 00:10:40.218
  • He said, so my ways are higher than man were man's ways,
  • 00:10:40.218 --> 00:10:44.155
  • And my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.
  • 00:10:44.155 --> 00:10:46.458
  • What's he saying?
  • 00:10:46.458 --> 00:10:47.792
  • He is saying god is in control, ladies and gentlemen,
  • 00:10:47.792 --> 00:10:51.963
  • He is sovereign.
  • 00:10:51.963 --> 00:10:53.565
  • And i'll tell you a secret.
  • 00:10:53.565 --> 00:10:54.833
  • He knows exactly what he's doing.
  • 00:10:54.833 --> 00:10:59.871
  • So this is the revelation comes and he speaks
  • 00:10:57.435 --> 00:11:02.607
  • To that revelation.
  • 00:11:02.607 --> 00:11:03.908
  • Look what he says in verse 27.
  • 00:11:03.908 --> 00:11:05.810
  • All these things
  • 00:11:05.810 --> 00:11:07.045
  • Have been handed over to me, jesus speaking by the father.
  • 00:11:07.045 --> 00:11:10.482
  • And so no one knows the son except the father,
  • 00:11:10.482 --> 00:11:13.852
  • Nor does anyone know the father except the son,
  • 00:11:13.852 --> 00:11:16.755
  • And anyone to whom the son wills to reveal to him.
  • 00:11:16.755 --> 00:11:19.824
  • He's saying, this is the father's method of operation.
  • 00:11:19.824 --> 00:11:23.461
  • This is the son method of operation.
  • 00:11:23.461 --> 00:11:25.897
  • You know jesus. you know the father.
  • 00:11:25.897 --> 00:11:27.766
  • You know the father.
  • 00:11:27.766 --> 00:11:28.900
  • You know jesus.
  • 00:11:28.900 --> 00:11:30.568
  • And he's saying, here's a revelation i have given to you.
  • 00:11:30.568 --> 00:11:33.605
  • And still they're
  • 00:11:34.038 --> 00:11:36.207
  • Fighting goats. bam!
  • 00:11:36.207 --> 00:11:38.977
  • They do not repent.
  • 00:11:38.977 --> 00:11:40.945
  • They didn't respond to the revelation of god.
  • 00:11:40.945 --> 00:11:43.648
  • What's it going to take?
  • 00:11:43.648 --> 00:11:45.717
  • Jesus saying to wake you up,
  • 00:11:45.717 --> 00:11:48.753
  • To move you out.
  • 00:11:49.154 --> 00:11:50.889
  • And god must say that about you and me all the time.
  • 00:11:50.889 --> 00:11:53.792
  • You think, what is it going to take to get through to edwin?
  • 00:11:53.792 --> 00:11:55.894
  • What's it going to take
  • 00:11:55.894 --> 00:11:56.928
  • To get through to build alice, to marry?
  • 00:11:56.928 --> 00:11:58.897
  • What is it going to take for them to repent and to change?
  • 00:11:58.897 --> 00:12:02.967
  • For them
  • 00:12:02.967 --> 00:12:04.135
  • Truly to understand the truth that i'm giving to them?
  • 00:12:04.135 --> 00:12:07.138
  • Gandhi.
  • 00:12:07.372 --> 00:12:09.140
  • About a week or so before he died,
  • 00:12:09.140 --> 00:12:10.875
  • A friend went to him, and he knew that gandhi all
  • 00:12:10.875 --> 00:12:13.645
  • His life had been searching for god.
  • 00:12:13.645 --> 00:12:16.748
  • And he went to him.
  • 00:12:17.215 --> 00:12:17.982
  • He said, have you found him?
  • 00:12:17.982 --> 00:12:20.852
  • Gandhi said, no,
  • 00:12:21.252 --> 00:12:23.388
  • I'm still searching.
  • 00:12:23.388 --> 00:12:25.390
  • Gandhi was a god fearing man, a great leader
  • 00:12:25.390 --> 00:12:29.027
  • In the world, a pacifist who led india
  • 00:12:29.027 --> 00:12:32.363
  • Out of the bondage of foreign domination.
  • 00:12:32.363 --> 00:12:35.233
  • But gandhi spent his whole life searching.
  • 00:12:35.233 --> 00:12:37.702
  • Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you the difference
  • 00:12:37.702 --> 00:12:39.571
  • Between philosophy and theology.
  • 00:12:39.571 --> 00:12:41.840
  • The philosopher is always looking for god.
  • 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.209
  • I want to find god.
  • 00:12:44.209 --> 00:12:45.210
  • I want to find the sumo bonum of life.
  • 00:12:45.210 --> 00:12:47.512
  • I want to find ultimate meaning.
  • 00:12:47.512 --> 00:12:49.547
  • The bible teaches us that's not the way it is.
  • 00:12:49.547 --> 00:12:51.916
  • God is always looking for you and looking for me.
  • 00:12:51.916 --> 00:12:54.752
  • God is searching us out.
  • 00:12:55.286 --> 00:12:58.223
  • We just have to understand his present.
  • 00:12:58.223 --> 00:13:00.625
  • Respond to the light that we have and repent
  • 00:13:00.625 --> 00:13:04.229
  • To things as we walk in the dark
  • 00:13:04.229 --> 00:13:06.130
  • To respond to the revelation that is there, the truth of god
  • 00:13:06.130 --> 00:13:10.068
  • In christ.
  • 00:13:10.068 --> 00:13:10.935
  • If we do not, we are fighting goats.
  • 00:13:10.935 --> 00:13:13.671
  • And you know what happens to fainting goats?
  • 00:13:13.671 --> 00:13:15.506
  • If this is a good symbol of our generation,
  • 00:13:15.506 --> 00:13:18.009
  • This is a great tragedy.
  • 00:13:18.009 --> 00:13:19.611
  • Flip over,
  • 00:13:19.611 --> 00:13:20.745
  • If you would, to the passage on the unpardonable sin.
  • 00:13:20.745 --> 00:13:24.449
  • Woe, a sin that will never be forgiven.
  • 00:13:25.283 --> 00:13:29.487
  • People ask me periodically
  • 00:13:30.054 --> 00:13:33.224
  • I think i have committed the unpardonable sin.
  • 00:13:33.224 --> 00:13:35.560
  • My open answer is.
  • 00:13:35.560 --> 00:13:37.128
  • One thing's for sure you haven't.
  • 00:13:37.128 --> 00:13:38.730
  • If you're asking me that question,
  • 00:13:38.730 --> 00:13:41.366
  • Because look at what the unpardonable sin is.
  • 00:13:41.366 --> 00:13:43.801
  • It's a matthew chapter 12,
  • 00:13:43.801 --> 00:13:46.971
  • Verse 30, following jesus is talking.
  • 00:13:46.971 --> 00:13:50.141
  • He who is not with me is against me.
  • 00:13:50.141 --> 00:13:54.112
  • And he who does not gather with me
  • 00:13:54.112 --> 00:13:56.114
  • Scatter other words, we just fall down.
  • 00:13:56.114 --> 00:13:59.117
  • I'm going to stay here.
  • 00:13:59.117 --> 00:14:00.585
  • I'm going to wait until lightning strikes.
  • 00:14:00.585 --> 00:14:02.687
  • He said, oh, you're against me.
  • 00:14:02.687 --> 00:14:04.489
  • Therefore i say to you, any sin
  • 00:14:04.489 --> 00:14:06.858
  • And blasphemy shall be forgiven people.
  • 00:14:06.858 --> 00:14:09.661
  • But blasphemy against the holy spirit.
  • 00:14:09.661 --> 00:14:12.263
  • I was speaking against the holy spirit
  • 00:14:12.263 --> 00:14:14.999
  • Shall not be forgiven.
  • 00:14:14.999 --> 00:14:17.602
  • Verse 32 for whoever speaks a word against the son of man,
  • 00:14:17.602 --> 00:14:21.973
  • That's jesus, it shall be forgiven him.
  • 00:14:21.973 --> 00:14:24.776
  • But whoever
  • 00:14:25.109 --> 00:14:26.377
  • Speaks against the holy spirit, it shall not be forgiven him,
  • 00:14:26.377 --> 00:14:29.314
  • Either in this age or in the age to come.
  • 00:14:29.314 --> 00:14:33.284
  • This is the unpardonable sin.
  • 00:14:33.284 --> 00:14:37.221
  • A child takes their
  • 00:14:37.689 --> 00:14:38.756
  • First step unsteady.
  • 00:14:38.756 --> 00:14:41.526
  • Unsure.
  • 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.361
  • Reaching for a father's hand.
  • 00:14:43.361 --> 00:14:45.630
  • No one is born knowing how to walk.
  • 00:14:45.630 --> 00:14:47.999
  • It takes training, strength.
  • 00:14:47.999 --> 00:14:50.401
  • Balance. time.
  • 00:14:50.401 --> 00:14:52.837
  • Walking with god is no different.
  • 00:14:52.837 --> 00:14:55.740
  • Like all journeys, walking the winning
  • 00:14:55.740 --> 00:14:57.675
  • Walk requires the proper equipment and preparation.
  • 00:14:57.675 --> 00:15:01.346
  • By outfitting our lives with the word of god,
  • 00:15:01.346 --> 00:15:03.948
  • We will be able to follow where the master leads.
  • 00:15:03.948 --> 00:15:07.652
  • Psalm 119 says, your word is a lamp
  • 00:15:07.652 --> 00:15:12.357
  • Unto my feet and a light under my path.
  • 00:15:12.357 --> 00:15:15.493
  • God doesn't rush the journey.
  • 00:15:15.493 --> 00:15:17.929
  • He lights the next step in the winning walk.

  • It is when the holy spirit

  • Works in your heart and in your life,
  • 00:15:50.028 --> 00:15:52.630
  • Trying to convict you and convince you and to
  • 00:15:52.630 --> 00:15:55.967
  • Bring us out into the light.
  • 00:15:55.967 --> 00:15:57.769
  • And we still conduct ourselves like fainting goats.
  • 00:15:57.769 --> 00:16:02.373
  • We don't repent. the truth comes.
  • 00:16:02.373 --> 00:16:04.976
  • We don't repent until finally get to the point
  • 00:16:04.976 --> 00:16:07.678
  • Our hearts are so hardened, our lives are so cold.
  • 00:16:07.678 --> 00:16:11.282
  • Go to romans chapter one.

  • And finally paul writes in romans says
  • 00:16:15.386 --> 00:16:18.289
  • God gave them up.
  • 00:16:18.289 --> 00:16:21.526
  • God gave them over.
  • 00:16:21.993 --> 00:16:24.062
  • Their hearts were so hardened now they had a reprobate mind.
  • 00:16:24.062 --> 00:16:28.566
  • There was no fertile ground by which the holy spirit could
  • 00:16:28.566 --> 00:16:32.270
  • Convict and speak
  • 00:16:32.270 --> 00:16:33.438
  • To their lives, speak truth into their lives.
  • 00:16:33.438 --> 00:16:36.307
  • And that's when we commit the unpardonable sin.
  • 00:16:36.307 --> 00:16:38.609
  • We reject the holy spirit is
  • 00:16:38.609 --> 00:16:40.445
  • Conviction, is leadership that is a unpardonable sin.
  • 00:16:40.445 --> 00:16:44.015
  • But there is a rescue plan
  • 00:16:44.015 --> 00:16:48.686
  • For all of this generation
  • 00:16:49.253 --> 00:16:51.022
  • And that generation of falling goats.
  • 00:16:51.022 --> 00:16:54.292
  • Fainting goats.
  • 00:16:54.292 --> 00:16:56.360
  • What is it?
  • 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:57.795
  • Look at those verses i pointed out.
  • 00:16:57.795 --> 00:17:00.932
  • The first one begins with the word
  • 00:17:00.932 --> 00:17:03.701
  • Come,
  • 00:17:03.701 --> 00:17:05.636
  • Invitation, come unto me,
  • 00:17:05.636 --> 00:17:08.739
  • All ye that labor and are heavy laden.
  • 00:17:08.739 --> 00:17:13.277
  • Anybody here laboring with light?
  • 00:17:14.011 --> 00:17:17.515
  • Anybody here heavy, laden with life?
  • 00:17:17.515 --> 00:17:21.052
  • It is a weight so heavy and so strong.
  • 00:17:21.052 --> 00:17:24.455
  • And you say, lord, i want to come to christ.
  • 00:17:24.455 --> 00:17:27.258
  • I come in desperation, all ye that labor and are heavy laden.
  • 00:17:27.258 --> 00:17:31.863
  • I read periodically, and you do
  • 00:17:32.497 --> 00:17:34.699
  • Two about those mudslides in california.
  • 00:17:34.699 --> 00:17:38.035
  • You know, you say, what in the world
  • 00:17:38.035 --> 00:17:39.370
  • Happens all of a sudden?
  • 00:17:39.370 --> 00:17:40.671
  • Mud just slides off the hill and brings houses with it.
  • 00:17:40.671 --> 00:17:44.575
  • It destroys everything.
  • 00:17:44.575 --> 00:17:45.977
  • It it oh, totally covers cars and automobiles
  • 00:17:45.977 --> 00:17:49.847
  • And these massive mudslides.
  • 00:17:49.847 --> 00:17:51.749
  • What causes that?
  • 00:17:51.749 --> 00:17:53.050
  • What happens?
  • 00:17:53.050 --> 00:17:53.951
  • It's when the ground gets so saturated
  • 00:17:53.951 --> 00:17:57.255
  • That even a little shower or, gee, just enough to start
  • 00:17:57.255 --> 00:18:00.424
  • That mud sliding down and devastation
  • 00:18:00.424 --> 00:18:03.861
  • And then then the whole land is destabilized.
  • 00:18:03.861 --> 00:18:07.899
  • So here you have it is saturated and destabilized.
  • 00:18:07.899 --> 00:18:12.069
  • I thought of that when i read
  • 00:18:12.069 --> 00:18:15.106
  • Heavy laden.
  • 00:18:15.439 --> 00:18:17.408
  • Come to me all you labor and heavily.
  • 00:18:17.408 --> 00:18:19.277
  • They're saturated and destabilized.
  • 00:18:19.277 --> 00:18:21.646
  • Anybody feel saturated, destabilized, destabilized.
  • 00:18:21.646 --> 00:18:24.982
  • Made you lose your balance.
  • 00:18:24.982 --> 00:18:26.217
  • You, i'm just saturated.
  • 00:18:26.217 --> 00:18:28.419
  • Jesus says, come to me and i will look at this,
  • 00:18:28.419 --> 00:18:31.422
  • Give you rest.
  • 00:18:31.422 --> 00:18:33.858
  • He gives us rest
  • 00:18:33.858 --> 00:18:36.661
  • When we come to him.
  • 00:18:37.128 --> 00:18:39.197
  • By the way, this rest is a peace with god.
  • 00:18:39.197 --> 00:18:43.901
  • We get right with god on the terms of christ.
  • 00:18:43.901 --> 00:18:46.537
  • We have peace with god.
  • 00:18:46.537 --> 00:18:48.573
  • It's fabulous to know i'm not perfect.
  • 00:18:48.573 --> 00:18:52.276
  • I've got a lot of words, but man, i've got god's peace.
  • 00:18:52.276 --> 00:18:56.080
  • He says, come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
  • 00:18:56.080 --> 00:18:59.350
  • And i will give you rest.
  • 00:18:59.350 --> 00:19:00.885
  • That's peace with god.
  • 00:19:00.885 --> 00:19:02.887
  • Then he says a second stanza.
  • 00:19:02.887 --> 00:19:04.689
  • It even goes deeper than that.
  • 00:19:04.689 --> 00:19:07.124
  • He says, take,
  • 00:19:07.458 --> 00:19:09.894
  • Take my yoke upon you,
  • 00:19:09.894 --> 00:19:12.797
  • The yoke of god that's just designed for you and me.
  • 00:19:12.797 --> 00:19:16.334
  • You know what a yoke was?
  • 00:19:16.334 --> 00:19:17.668
  • It was that wooden apparatus that they would make
  • 00:19:17.668 --> 00:19:20.338
  • And put
  • 00:19:20.338 --> 00:19:21.472
  • Around the head of an ox and team that with another ox,
  • 00:19:21.472 --> 00:19:24.508
  • And they would pull heavy weights together.
  • 00:19:24.508 --> 00:19:26.711
  • Jesus says, come and get yoked up with me.
  • 00:19:26.711 --> 00:19:29.914
  • Take my yoke upon you.
  • 00:19:29.914 --> 00:19:33.017
  • And he says, learn of me.
  • 00:19:33.017 --> 00:19:34.885
  • We go to school with him.
  • 00:19:34.885 --> 00:19:37.154
  • It's always scary to ask somebody to mentor you,
  • 00:19:37.154 --> 00:19:41.025
  • Or to go and tell somebody to teach you
  • 00:19:41.025 --> 00:19:43.995
  • How to do something, because they'll discover
  • 00:19:43.995 --> 00:19:47.265
  • We're not as smart as they thought we were.
  • 00:19:48.165 --> 00:19:51.502
  • We're not as receptive as they thought we were.
  • 00:19:51.502 --> 00:19:55.406
  • We frayed at we got under one of these teachers
  • 00:19:55.406 --> 00:19:58.809
  • That they will just sort of expose us.
  • 00:19:58.809 --> 00:20:01.078
  • But jesus says,
  • 00:20:01.078 --> 00:20:02.880
  • Come,
  • 00:20:03.114 --> 00:20:05.483
  • Take my yoke upon you and learn of me.
  • 00:20:05.483 --> 00:20:07.918
  • Get in my school.
  • 00:20:07.918 --> 00:20:09.053
  • And he tells us, he says, i am gentle and i'm humble
  • 00:20:09.053 --> 00:20:13.357
  • And that great, have a teacher.
  • 00:20:13.991 --> 00:20:16.394
  • I'll go to a teacher who's gentle and humble with me.
  • 00:20:16.394 --> 00:20:20.197
  • They won't embarrass me, expose all of my flaws.
  • 00:20:20.197 --> 00:20:23.434
  • He said, come,
  • 00:20:23.434 --> 00:20:26.103
  • Take, learn.
  • 00:20:26.103 --> 00:20:28.639
  • And he said, then you will have rest in your soul.
  • 00:20:28.639 --> 00:20:33.344
  • We've already got the rest.
  • 00:20:33.344 --> 00:20:35.246
  • That means that we're right with god,
  • 00:20:35.246 --> 00:20:37.615
  • That we have rest in our soul.
  • 00:20:37.615 --> 00:20:39.283
  • This means that we now have the rest of god.
  • 00:20:39.283 --> 00:20:43.487
  • We have the peace of god, peace with god
  • 00:20:43.487 --> 00:20:46.657
  • First, rest,
  • 00:20:46.657 --> 00:20:49.460
  • Peace of god.
  • 00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:50.795
  • Second rest.
  • 00:20:50.795 --> 00:20:52.396
  • Everybody need that.
  • 00:20:52.396 --> 00:20:53.431
  • Oh, we need that
  • 00:20:53.431 --> 00:20:55.666
  • Peace with god, peace of god.
  • 00:20:55.666 --> 00:20:58.469
  • And that's the appeal and that's the invitation.
  • 00:20:58.469 --> 00:21:01.639
  • And then there's that last one verse which i really love.
  • 00:21:01.639 --> 00:21:06.210
  • He says.
  • 00:21:06.477 --> 00:21:07.445
  • I just read it to be accurate, said, for my
  • 00:21:07.445 --> 00:21:09.914
  • Yoke is easy and my burden is light.
  • 00:21:09.914 --> 00:21:12.983
  • And the greek, that means my yoke is well fitting.
  • 00:21:12.983 --> 00:21:16.387
  • We get yoked up with jesus christ.
  • 00:21:16.387 --> 00:21:19.523
  • Let me tell you what, his yoke just fits us, goes.
  • 00:21:19.523 --> 00:21:22.793
  • It'll fit who you are.
  • 00:21:22.793 --> 00:21:24.195
  • When i'm doing something that i really enjoy,
  • 00:21:24.195 --> 00:21:27.098
  • And i can sweat and work in the sun and have a great time
  • 00:21:27.098 --> 00:21:30.868
  • When i do something
  • 00:21:30.868 --> 00:21:32.002
  • I don't want to do, like pull up weeds in the flower bed
  • 00:21:32.002 --> 00:21:34.905
  • And the same sun, the same me, i am miserable.
  • 00:21:34.905 --> 00:21:38.476
  • Why this fits me.
  • 00:21:38.909 --> 00:21:41.078
  • This doesn't fit me.
  • 00:21:41.078 --> 00:21:42.980
  • Listen to come to christ.
  • 00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:44.715
  • It's not an overbearing thing.
  • 00:21:44.715 --> 00:21:46.050
  • His yoke fits perfectly.
  • 00:21:46.050 --> 00:21:48.018
  • It is exclusively tailored and designed to meet your life,
  • 00:21:48.018 --> 00:21:51.956
  • Your need, your need so you can fly away
  • 00:21:51.956 --> 00:21:54.759
  • In this world and have a life that really counts.
  • 00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.795
  • You say, well, i'm.
  • 00:21:58.262 --> 00:21:59.363
  • I'm too old, i'm too young, i'm too set in my ways.
  • 00:21:59.363 --> 00:22:02.967
  • You know, i'm just going to get along and go along.
  • 00:22:02.967 --> 00:22:05.903
  • Oh, no.
  • 00:22:06.137 --> 00:22:07.405
  • You see, god
  • 00:22:07.738 --> 00:22:08.806
  • Shows off his greatest strength
  • 00:22:08.806 --> 00:22:11.942
  • At the point of mine and yours.
  • 00:22:12.576 --> 00:22:15.045
  • Greatest weakness
  • 00:22:15.045 --> 00:22:17.148
  • When i'm weak,
  • 00:22:17.148 --> 00:22:18.949
  • God get a chance to show off his strength.
  • 00:22:18.949 --> 00:22:21.719
  • If i'm yoked with him,
  • 00:22:21.719 --> 00:22:24.321
  • If i'm yoked with him, you say, well,
  • 00:22:24.321 --> 00:22:27.658
  • Hannah world is this operate years ago.
  • 00:22:27.658 --> 00:22:31.195
  • There's a camp for junior high kids.
  • 00:22:31.996 --> 00:22:34.965
  • And this year the counselor invited billy to go.
  • 00:22:34.965 --> 00:22:38.235
  • Now, billy was a special child.
  • 00:22:38.869 --> 00:22:41.405
  • Sweet, kind, loving, gentle, but special.
  • 00:22:41.405 --> 00:22:45.776
  • Didn't really go along with the other kids.
  • 00:22:45.776 --> 00:22:47.678
  • But you just couldn't upset him.
  • 00:22:47.678 --> 00:22:49.747
  • He was teased all the time, laughed ed.
  • 00:22:49.747 --> 00:22:51.816
  • Remember junior high, don't you get?
  • 00:22:51.816 --> 00:22:54.885
  • We've been on both sides of that.
  • 00:22:54.885 --> 00:22:56.587
  • All of us.
  • 00:22:56.587 --> 00:22:58.155
  • But billy went to camp,
  • 00:22:58.155 --> 00:23:00.090
  • And at camp they just teased him
  • 00:23:00.090 --> 00:23:02.026
  • Unmercifully, but didn't bother billy.
  • 00:23:02.026 --> 00:23:04.695
  • You know, he didn't upset him at all.
  • 00:23:04.695 --> 00:23:07.832
  • He's a camp with the kids.
  • 00:23:07.832 --> 00:23:09.433
  • And he'd say, which was a craft shop,
  • 00:23:09.433 --> 00:23:11.402
  • And they'd point in the opposite direction.
  • 00:23:11.402 --> 00:23:12.770
  • They love teasing billy.
  • 00:23:12.770 --> 00:23:15.172
  • And finally somebody signed billy's
  • 00:23:15.172 --> 00:23:17.208
  • Name up to do the morning devotional.
  • 00:23:17.208 --> 00:23:19.076
  • They had a little talk every morning at breakfast,
  • 00:23:19.076 --> 00:23:21.479
  • And different kids
  • 00:23:21.479 --> 00:23:22.580
  • Would sign up to give some kind of spiritual talk, and
  • 00:23:22.580 --> 00:23:25.516
  • And they signed up. billy.
  • 00:23:25.516 --> 00:23:27.485
  • Billy didn't know it.
  • 00:23:27.485 --> 00:23:29.253
  • Breakfast next day.
  • 00:23:29.253 --> 00:23:30.354
  • And the counselor said, billy
  • 00:23:30.354 --> 00:23:33.057
  • Has asked to speak today, do i devotional?
  • 00:23:33.057 --> 00:23:35.926
  • Billy didn't know how old the kid just latches.
  • 00:23:35.926 --> 00:23:39.163
  • Hey, what's this?
  • 00:23:39.163 --> 00:23:41.098
  • Is no jelly.
  • 00:23:41.098 --> 00:23:42.032
  • What billy is going to say a little bit.
  • 00:23:42.032 --> 00:23:44.368
  • He got up with his smile,
  • 00:23:44.368 --> 00:23:46.904
  • All the giggling or the junior high kids,
  • 00:23:46.904 --> 00:23:50.341
  • And it took
  • 00:23:50.674 --> 00:23:52.610
  • Billy
  • 00:23:52.610 --> 00:23:54.578
  • 2.5 minutes to say.
  • 00:23:54.578 --> 00:23:59.450
  • Jesus.
  • 00:23:59.650 --> 00:24:02.586
  • Loves me.
  • 00:24:02.586 --> 00:24:06.290
  • And then another 2.5 minutes for him to say.
  • 00:24:07.191 --> 00:24:11.095
  • I love
  • 00:24:11.295 --> 00:24:14.999
  • Jesus.
  • 00:24:15.199 --> 00:24:18.068
  • That was it.
  • 00:24:18.068 --> 00:24:20.938
  • And the room got so quiet.
  • 00:24:20.938 --> 00:24:22.406
  • All those junior high kids,
  • 00:24:22.406 --> 00:24:23.807
  • Some of them began to weep and to cry.
  • 00:24:23.807 --> 00:24:26.710
  • And that was the camp
  • 00:24:26.710 --> 00:24:28.846
  • When so many of those boys and girls who really came
  • 00:24:28.846 --> 00:24:32.416
  • Into a personal relationship with jesus christ,
  • 00:24:32.416 --> 00:24:35.586
  • That lasted for the rest of their lives,
  • 00:24:35.586 --> 00:24:38.355
  • Years went by in that community.
  • 00:24:38.355 --> 00:24:40.524
  • Somebody would say, well, well, alice, when did you
  • 00:24:40.524 --> 00:24:44.028
  • Come to know jesus?
  • 00:24:44.495 --> 00:24:45.563
  • She said, i was at camp when billy spoke.
  • 00:24:45.563 --> 00:24:50.501
  • I was at camp when billy spoke.
  • 00:24:51.135 --> 00:24:54.905
  • God shows off his strength
  • 00:24:55.472 --> 00:24:57.741
