The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Satan's Target: The Family | June 11, 2026
- He said, who do you say that i am?
- 00:00:01.024 --> 00:00:02.892
- Oh, wait a minute.
- 00:00:02.892 --> 00:00:04.227
- And peter says, you're the christ, you're the messiah.
- 00:00:04.227 --> 00:00:09.866
- You're the one the old testament is promised.
- 00:00:09.866 --> 00:00:12.001
- You are god in human flesh, fulfilling
- 00:00:12.001 --> 00:00:15.605
- All prophecy to instruct us and give us the way
- 00:00:15.605 --> 00:00:19.142
- Of salvation now and salvation for ever.
- 00:00:19.142 --> 00:00:22.345
- You are the messiah.
- 00:00:22.345 --> 00:00:25.515
- How did jesus bond?
- 00:00:25.982 --> 00:00:28.651
- He said, peter,
- 00:00:28.651 --> 00:00:30.487
- Flesh and blood didn't tell you this.
- 00:00:30.487 --> 00:00:32.622
- You didn't come through it by logic.
- 00:00:32.622 --> 00:00:51.441
- In college, i was taking a course
- 00:00:52.208 --> 00:00:55.979
- In russian history
- 00:00:55.979 --> 00:00:58.748
- And i am sure that i read
- 00:00:59.315 --> 00:01:02.919
- The communist manifesto,
- 00:01:03.453 --> 00:01:06.756
- Became acquainted with words
- 00:01:06.756 --> 00:01:08.591
- Like bourgeoisie and.
- 00:01:08.591 --> 00:01:12.362
- But i don't remember it.
- 00:01:12.896 --> 00:01:15.532
- But somebody gave me about a couple of months ago,
- 00:01:15.532 --> 00:01:20.069
- Two copies of that little pamphlet
- 00:01:20.803 --> 00:01:23.940
- That was written by marx and engels,
- 00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:27.610
- And i picked it up, and i
- 00:01:28.178 --> 00:01:30.880
- Knew the thesis of communism from each
- 00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:34.317
- According to his ability, to each according to his need.
- 00:01:34.317 --> 00:01:38.922
- And the thesis sounds utopian and wonderful.
- 00:01:38.922 --> 00:01:42.659
- The only problem is it has never, never worked.
- 00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:46.029
- What has been tried in history?
- 00:01:46.029 --> 00:01:50.733
- In fact, you could
- 00:01:51.167 --> 00:01:52.535
- Easily build a case, conservatively,
- 00:01:52.535 --> 00:01:56.639
- That over a hundred million people have lost their lives
- 00:01:56.639 --> 00:02:01.444
- And slaughtered at the foot
- 00:02:01.444 --> 00:02:05.315
- Of that atheistic view of life.
- 00:02:05.949 --> 00:02:10.320
- When i read it, i was thumbing it,
- 00:02:11.054 --> 00:02:14.724
- But in the early pages i encountered something.
- 00:02:14.724 --> 00:02:18.461
- There was absolutely breathtaking.
- 00:02:19.229 --> 00:02:23.366
- It said simply that
- 00:02:23.833 --> 00:02:27.370
- For there to be
- 00:02:27.737 --> 00:02:30.273
- A communist society,
- 00:02:30.273 --> 00:02:33.276
- This pseudo utopianism,
- 00:02:33.776 --> 00:02:36.879
- You had to first of all, totally obliterate
- 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:41.050
- And destroy the family.
- 00:02:41.050 --> 00:02:45.588
- First and foremost,
- 00:02:46.055 --> 00:02:49.192
- Get rid of any semblance,
- 00:02:49.192 --> 00:02:51.995
- Any sign of the family.
- 00:02:51.995 --> 00:02:55.398
- We would call it the nuclear family.
- 00:02:55.398 --> 00:02:58.034
- You know why it's called nuclear?
- 00:02:58.034 --> 00:02:59.669
- It's not for the energy.
- 00:02:59.669 --> 00:03:01.271
- We connect the word nuclear with that.
- 00:03:01.271 --> 00:03:04.240
- It is the nucleus
- 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.110
- Nuclear of all
- 00:03:07.443 --> 00:03:09.579
- Civilization, the family
- 00:03:09.579 --> 00:03:13.449
- And these revolutionaries. you.
- 00:03:14.083 --> 00:03:16.286
- As long as the family was functioning and the family
- 00:03:16.286 --> 00:03:20.356
- Was the center of our society
- 00:03:20.356 --> 00:03:23.192
- And of our lives,
- 00:03:23.192 --> 00:03:26.095
- That would be a foundation upon which
- 00:03:26.095 --> 00:03:30.400
- Could not be destroyed.
- 00:03:30.900 --> 00:03:34.437
- The family.
- 00:03:34.771 --> 00:03:36.406
- And then it hit me.
- 00:03:36.406 --> 00:03:38.841
- You know, god established three institutions.
- 00:03:38.841 --> 00:03:41.311
- We've talked about that the family first,
- 00:03:41.311 --> 00:03:45.615
- Civil government second, and the church third.
- 00:03:45.615 --> 00:03:50.019
- So it seemed only natural that if you want to destroy
- 00:03:50.019 --> 00:03:54.457
- A culture, you destroy the first institution
- 00:03:54.457 --> 00:03:59.028
- God brought into being.
- 00:03:59.028 --> 00:04:03.099
- Began with marriage.
- 00:04:03.566 --> 00:04:04.967
- God performed the ceremony.
- 00:04:04.967 --> 00:04:06.536
- Remember adam and eve?
- 00:04:06.536 --> 00:04:08.171
- And we said over and over again,
- 00:04:08.171 --> 00:04:10.573
- How does a marriage function leave?
- 00:04:10.573 --> 00:04:12.408
- Cleave one flesh low shame.
- 00:04:12.408 --> 00:04:14.877
- And before the infamous bite
- 00:04:14.877 --> 00:04:18.014
- Was taken from the apple on the tree.
- 00:04:18.014 --> 00:04:20.350
- If it were an apple, i think it was
- 00:04:20.350 --> 00:04:24.087
- Already.
- 00:04:24.354 --> 00:04:25.521
- You see, the freedom of choice beginning to deteriorate.
- 00:04:25.521 --> 00:04:29.992
- The four principles of marriage.
- 00:04:29.992 --> 00:04:33.663
- Leave
- 00:04:33.896 --> 00:04:36.032
- Other words, leave all things,
- 00:04:36.032 --> 00:04:37.600
- All others, all other relationships.
- 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.803
- Evidently, when eve needed
- 00:04:41.371 --> 00:04:43.740
- Adam more than any other time,
- 00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:46.576
- When the serpent,
- 00:04:46.576 --> 00:04:48.611
- When satan gained adam had somehow left
- 00:04:48.611 --> 00:04:52.715
- And was doing other things, cleave, hold on to one another.
- 00:04:52.715 --> 00:04:57.887
- Evidently they were not holding on to one another.
- 00:04:57.887 --> 00:05:01.357
- Already the presynaptic.
- 00:05:01.891 --> 00:05:07.029
- One flesh.
- 00:05:07.330 --> 00:05:11.067
- They were not one.
- 00:05:09.298 --> 00:05:12.135
- They were acting independently.
- 00:05:12.135 --> 00:05:13.569
- And when eve had eaten the apple,
- 00:05:13.569 --> 00:05:17.673
- All of a sudden she gave it to adam.
- 00:05:18.441 --> 00:05:20.209
- And adam blamed eve, and eve blamed the serpent,
- 00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:23.212
- And both of them blame god.
- 00:05:23.212 --> 00:05:24.947
- You see, already there was a disintegration
- 00:05:24.947 --> 00:05:28.151
- Of the family, which was marriage
- 00:05:28.151 --> 00:05:32.155
- At the core of it.
- 00:05:32.588 --> 00:05:34.257
- So here is satan attacking the family marriage
- 00:05:34.257 --> 00:05:39.495
- Through this das kapital,
- 00:05:39.495 --> 00:05:42.698
- And then we see all the
- 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.067
- Rest of it coming down through the communist manifesto.
- 00:05:45.067 --> 00:05:48.738
- And now we see satan's.
- 00:05:48.738 --> 00:05:50.239
- The first attack
- 00:05:50.239 --> 00:05:51.641
- In all of his agenda was on marriage and the family.
- 00:05:51.641 --> 00:05:55.578
- And then i awakened and said,
- 00:05:55.578 --> 00:05:58.214
- We're studying wokingham.
- 00:05:58.214 --> 00:06:01.451
- Who is it?
- 00:06:01.751 --> 00:06:02.752
- Not just an ideology, it's become a religion.
- 00:06:02.752 --> 00:06:05.721
- Why? if you don't get in with a program,
- 00:06:06.556 --> 00:06:08.758
- Look at every institution in america
- 00:06:08.758 --> 00:06:11.994
- And for that matter, almost around the world today,
- 00:06:11.994 --> 00:06:15.198
- They are wall growing and understanding
- 00:06:15.198 --> 00:06:18.267
- Of what it means to be woke.
- 00:06:18.267 --> 00:06:20.636
- And if you're not woke, i can tell you you and all
- 00:06:20.636 --> 00:06:24.373
- Probability in different races, you'll be canceled.
- 00:06:24.373 --> 00:06:28.511
- Yeah, you'll be canceled.
- 00:06:29.078 --> 00:06:31.714
- By the way,
- 00:06:31.714 --> 00:06:34.016
- They wanted to cancel jesus, remember?
- 00:06:34.016 --> 00:06:37.286
- And they did cancel him all the institution of that time.
- 00:06:37.286 --> 00:06:41.491
- And that day said, crucify him.
- 00:06:41.491 --> 00:06:43.926
- So they canceled him, and they nailed him
- 00:06:43.926 --> 00:06:47.797
- To a x mark of cancellation.
- 00:06:47.797 --> 00:06:51.100
- And satan said, amen.
- 00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:53.469
- By the way, demonic forces use our language,
- 00:06:53.469 --> 00:06:56.772
- You know, to say amen. so let it be.
- 00:06:56.772 --> 00:06:59.375
- Jesus had been canceled.
- 00:06:59.375 --> 00:07:00.843
- But what happened to that cancellation?
- 00:07:00.843 --> 00:07:02.979
- There was a resurrection.
- 00:07:02.979 --> 00:07:13.523
- So we come to this point.
- 00:07:14.090 --> 00:07:15.525
- We ask the question,
- 00:07:15.525 --> 00:07:18.127
- Does the word of god have any instruction for us?
- 00:07:18.127 --> 00:07:22.431
- Open your bibles to matthew chapter number seven.
- 00:07:22.431 --> 00:07:26.802
- And you couldn't have a better instruction for all of us
- 00:07:26.802 --> 00:07:32.441
- Than the words of jesus and the sermon on the mount.
- 00:07:32.441 --> 00:07:36.245
- Verse 24, following
- 00:07:36.712 --> 00:07:39.415
- Whoever hears these words of mine
- 00:07:39.415 --> 00:07:41.884
- And acts on them may be compared to a wise man,
- 00:07:41.884 --> 00:07:45.555
- A wise person who built his house on rock.
- 00:07:45.555 --> 00:07:49.859
- And the rain fell, and the floods came,
- 00:07:49.859 --> 00:07:52.828
- And the winds blew and slammed against the house.
- 00:07:52.828 --> 00:07:57.366
- Let me tell you something, folks.
- 00:07:57.366 --> 00:07:58.634
- I like that word translated here.
- 00:07:58.634 --> 00:08:00.670
- Slammed at every marriage, every family.
- 00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:03.873
- Everybody knows about what it means to be slammed against.
- 00:08:03.873 --> 00:08:08.444
- Slammed against.
- 00:08:08.844 --> 00:08:12.348
- Slammed against the house,
- 00:08:12.915 --> 00:08:14.350
- And yet does not fail.
- 00:08:14.350 --> 00:08:17.954
- For it had been founded on the rock.
- 00:08:17.954 --> 00:08:21.724
- A married to
- 00:08:22.058 --> 00:08:22.725
- Family stands the contrast.
- 00:08:22.725 --> 00:08:26.028
- Jesus says, everyone
- 00:08:26.495 --> 00:08:27.930
- Who hears these words of mine and does not act on them,
- 00:08:27.930 --> 00:08:31.734
- They just hear, will be like a fool,
- 00:08:31.734 --> 00:08:35.938
- A foolish man, a foolish person who built his house
- 00:08:35.938 --> 00:08:38.641
- On sand.
- 00:08:38.641 --> 00:08:41.377
- And the rain fell, and the floods came
- 00:08:41.377 --> 00:08:43.813
- To the ones blue and slammed against the house.
- 00:08:43.813 --> 00:08:46.215
- And it fell.
- 00:08:46.215 --> 00:08:48.284
- And great was the fall of that family
- 00:08:48.284 --> 00:08:52.588
- That was built on sand.
- 00:08:53.089 --> 00:08:56.459
- Let's make this personal, folks.
- 00:08:57.193 --> 00:09:00.129
- Is your marriage your life single or married or not?
- 00:09:00.129 --> 00:09:03.132
- Is it built on sand?
- 00:09:03.132 --> 00:09:05.735
- We're talking about the family.
- 00:09:05.735 --> 00:09:08.337
- Let me tell you what a a marriage, a family
- 00:09:08.337 --> 00:09:11.040
- Built on sand, a marriage built on sand, starch.
- 00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:14.176
- Usually with the couples being unequally yoked together.
- 00:09:14.176 --> 00:09:19.048
- What the word does that mean?
- 00:09:19.048 --> 00:09:20.349
- It means the husband believes one thing about this.
- 00:09:20.349 --> 00:09:23.452
- The wife.
- 00:09:23.452 --> 00:09:24.253
- Believe something else about this.
- 00:09:24.253 --> 00:09:26.322
- It means one is a christian.
- 00:09:26.322 --> 00:09:28.290
- One is not a christian.
- 00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:30.192
- It means they're going in opposite directions.
- 00:09:30.192 --> 00:09:32.294
- They haven't agreed
- 00:09:32.294 --> 00:09:33.462
- How any marriage can stand when they're reading different
- 00:09:33.462 --> 00:09:37.400
- Rulebooks and different principles.
- 00:09:37.400 --> 00:09:38.868
- I don't know,
- 00:09:38.868 --> 00:09:40.369
- But a lot of times we fall in love on the basis of
- 00:09:40.369 --> 00:09:43.973
- We call it love, but it's probably more lust.
- 00:09:43.973 --> 00:09:47.843
- I'm not against chemistry in relationship.
- 00:09:47.843 --> 00:09:50.646
- Sure, that's a part, but marriages
- 00:09:50.646 --> 00:09:54.450
- That are two individual living by different rulebooks,
- 00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:59.121
- It's like playing tennis.
- 00:09:59.121 --> 00:10:01.557
- One person gets two points every time they make a point
- 00:10:01.557 --> 00:10:04.927
- And the other one gets one, and the lines are different
- 00:10:04.927 --> 00:10:07.963
- And the rules are different. and guess what?
- 00:10:07.963 --> 00:10:11.400
- That's not going to be any fun.
- 00:10:12.034 --> 00:10:13.536
- You take anything we do and one side is playing by one
- 00:10:13.536 --> 00:10:17.173
- Book, another side play my other book.
- 00:10:17.173 --> 00:10:19.208
- And of all things in marriage, the most intimate
- 00:10:19.208 --> 00:10:22.912
- And sacred of relationships.
- 00:10:22.912 --> 00:10:25.881
- So the unequal yoke so many,
- 00:10:25.881 --> 00:10:29.518
- Many times there's adultery.
- 00:10:29.518 --> 00:10:32.888
- So many, many fournier
- 00:10:33.355 --> 00:10:35.825
- Sexual immorality, there's adultery.
- 00:10:35.825 --> 00:10:39.261
- And then
- 00:10:39.261 --> 00:10:40.529
- The other reason for divorce, given the bible is desertion.
- 00:10:40.529 --> 00:10:44.100
- And boy, that's interpreted far and wide.
- 00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:47.269
- Lot of marriages stay together in form,
- 00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:50.673
- But they really have deserted from one another, haven't they?
- 00:10:50.673 --> 00:10:55.010
- You do your thing. i do my thing.
- 00:10:55.010 --> 00:10:56.879
- Oh, we meet once in a while.
- 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.914
- So they're the two grounds.
- 00:10:58.914 --> 00:11:00.416
- And really, you see that in so many marriages,
- 00:11:00.416 --> 00:11:04.520
- Because they were unequally
- 00:11:05.121 --> 00:11:06.655
- Yoked, different principles going in, and now they get
- 00:11:06.655 --> 00:11:10.359
- In, and here is adultery and here is desertion.
- 00:11:10.359 --> 00:11:15.064
- Not just leaving, but deserted
- 00:11:15.064 --> 00:11:18.000
- In working together, teaming together.
- 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.736
- And then all of a sudden there's a divorce.
- 00:11:20.736 --> 00:11:23.773
- What is divorce?
- 00:11:23.773 --> 00:11:25.741
- Ladies and gentlemen,
- 00:11:25.741 --> 00:11:27.476
- I'll tell you exactly what it is when you get married.
- 00:11:27.476 --> 00:11:31.080
- And i get married to become one.
- 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:34.717
- And divorce is when that marriage commits suicide.
- 00:11:34.717 --> 00:11:40.256
- So here's what happens.
- 00:11:40.756 --> 00:11:43.159
- Suicide takes place.
- 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.294
- And then sometimes people get married again feeding.
- 00:11:45.294 --> 00:11:48.898
- They have biblical grounds,
- 00:11:48.898 --> 00:11:50.065
- And many times they do, but they don't change.
- 00:11:50.065 --> 00:11:53.502
- They go in with the same kind of twisted
- 00:11:53.502 --> 00:11:56.071
- View of life and marriage and family,
- 00:11:56.071 --> 00:11:58.707
- And it happens again
- 00:11:58.707 --> 00:12:01.076
- And happens again.
- 00:12:01.076 --> 00:12:03.712
- And it's always.
- 00:12:03.712 --> 00:12:06.849
- The other person's fault.
- 00:12:06.849 --> 00:12:09.051
- Have you noticed?
- 00:12:09.051 --> 00:12:12.321
- Marriage is one of god's greatest gifts.
- 00:12:12.321 --> 00:12:15.257
- You might say, next to the gift of our salvation, christ.
- 00:12:15.257 --> 00:12:19.295
- It's number one.
- 00:12:19.295 --> 00:12:20.563
- But let's be honest, it also brings real challenges.
- 00:12:20.563 --> 00:12:24.300
- Every couple of face disagreements, miscommunication
- 00:12:24.300 --> 00:12:29.605
- Or financial pressure, family tensions, and seasons
- 00:12:29.605 --> 00:12:32.942
- Of frustration in the whole area of marriage.
- 00:12:32.942 --> 00:12:35.878
- You know, saying that if you're married, left unchecked,
- 00:12:35.878 --> 00:12:40.115
- Those struggles can slowly erode into
- 00:12:40.115 --> 00:12:43.853
- Even a marriage that should be great.
- 00:12:43.853 --> 00:12:45.621
- Into a marriage, that's just okay.
- 00:12:45.621 --> 00:12:48.324
- But that does not have to be your story.
- 00:12:48.324 --> 00:12:52.294
- In the ten commandments of marriage,
- 00:12:52.294 --> 00:12:54.096
- I share biblical truth, practical wisdom,
- 00:12:54.096 --> 00:12:57.032
- And a little humor drawn from more than 50
- 00:12:57.032 --> 00:13:00.436
- Years of ministry and marriage experience.
- 00:13:00.436 --> 00:13:03.372
- These ten timeless principles are designed to help husbands
- 00:13:03.372 --> 00:13:07.576
- And wives protect what matters most and strengthen
- 00:13:07.576 --> 00:13:11.480
- That relationship, and build a marriage
- 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.083
- Based on love and joy, and a lasting commitment
- 00:13:14.083 --> 00:13:17.653
- That's filled with laughter and pleasure and excitement.
- 00:13:17.653 --> 00:13:22.925
- Listen, god never intended marriage to be.
- 00:13:22.925 --> 00:13:26.695
- Let's just survive and hang on.
- 00:13:26.695 --> 00:13:29.231
- He attended it to sing and to thrive.
- 00:13:29.231 --> 00:13:33.168
- Listen, if you really want a healthier,
- 00:13:33.168 --> 00:13:36.205
- Christ centered marriage that still has warmth, passion,
- 00:13:36.205 --> 00:13:40.009
- And purpose, these ten commandments of marriage
- 00:13:40.009 --> 00:13:43.479
- Is just for you.
- 00:13:43.479 --> 00:13:45.281
- Call them on your screen or visit the website below
- 00:13:45.281 --> 00:13:47.983
- To regress your copy of the ten commandments of marriage.
- 00:13:47.983 --> 00:13:52.321
- Do it today.
- 00:13:52.321 --> 00:14:04.066
- What happens to the children.
- 00:14:04.700 --> 00:14:07.336
- They have lost the model, the pattern of what
- 00:14:07.336 --> 00:14:10.372
- God intends for family and how children
- 00:14:10.372 --> 00:14:13.208
- Ought to be brought up.
- 00:14:13.208 --> 00:14:14.610
- They've lost it.
- 00:14:14.610 --> 00:14:17.346
- The children are out there.
- 00:14:17.346 --> 00:14:18.514
- Never, never land.
- 00:14:18.514 --> 00:14:19.615
- And they're looking for in principle, understanding.
- 00:14:19.615 --> 00:14:22.851
- And usually mom and dad in divorce.
- 00:14:22.851 --> 00:14:25.120
- They don't.
- 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:26.322
- They don't want to discipline very much.
- 00:14:26.322 --> 00:14:29.391
- Or she'll side with him or he'll side with her.
- 00:14:29.391 --> 00:14:32.061
- Right.
- 00:14:32.061 --> 00:14:33.262
- I'm telling you just the way it is, ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:14:33.262 --> 00:14:35.564
- So the children then are looking for some course.
- 00:14:36.565 --> 00:14:39.068
- And where do they go?
- 00:14:39.068 --> 00:14:40.402
- Usually they go into schools of education, right?
- 00:14:40.402 --> 00:14:43.939
- They they go in the classroom and they're looking for
- 00:14:43.939 --> 00:14:46.842
- A father, a mother, a mentor, somebody who cares, somebody
- 00:14:46.842 --> 00:14:50.612
- Who will listen, somebody even who will discipline.
- 00:14:50.612 --> 00:14:55.317
- You. go to a public school today
- 00:14:56.018 --> 00:14:58.921
- In our city, in our counties, or in our america.
- 00:14:58.921 --> 00:15:03.292
- And about
- 00:15:03.292 --> 00:15:04.426
- I don't know what percentage and overwhelming
- 00:15:04.426 --> 00:15:06.895
- Percentage of them they'll be taught the woke agenda.
- 00:15:06.895 --> 00:15:11.000
- They even have teachers at large
- 00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:14.937
- Who go through to teach the
- 00:15:14.937 --> 00:15:16.305
- Teachers how to teach wokeness to the children,
- 00:15:16.305 --> 00:15:20.042
- Without mom and dad ever finding out,
- 00:15:20.042 --> 00:15:22.511
- Oh yes, they're all over the country.
- 00:15:22.511 --> 00:15:24.346
- They're specialists.
- 00:15:24.346 --> 00:15:26.882
- Now, if a couple is
- 00:15:26.882 --> 00:15:29.618
- Prosperous enough to send your son
- 00:15:29.618 --> 00:15:33.322
- Or daughter to an independent private school
- 00:15:33.322 --> 00:15:37.259
- Many, many times with great sacrifice,
- 00:15:37.259 --> 00:15:40.095
- If they attend a school that is approved
- 00:15:40.095 --> 00:15:43.766
- By the national association of independent schools.
- 00:15:43.766 --> 00:15:48.604
- And by the way, i would say
- 00:15:48.604 --> 00:15:52.174
- Most of the prestigious schools in this city
- 00:15:52.174 --> 00:15:55.978
- Are approved by this particular group
- 00:15:55.978 --> 00:15:58.614
- And get their accreditation there.
- 00:15:58.614 --> 00:16:00.682
- If your son or daughter happens to be there.
- 00:16:00.682 --> 00:16:03.819
- This is true across america, by the way.
- 00:16:03.819 --> 00:16:06.655
- When they go in, they sign something called
- 00:16:06.655 --> 00:16:10.259
- A certificate of cooperation.
- 00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:13.562
- Follow me.
- 00:16:13.862 --> 00:16:15.097
- And when a mom or dad signs this, it simply says that
- 00:16:15.097 --> 00:16:19.701
- The mama dad will not try to interject what they believe
- 00:16:19.701 --> 00:16:24.606
- Or what they think in the educational process.
- 00:16:24.606 --> 00:16:28.277
- Lord, mom and dad, you stay out of this
- 00:16:28.277 --> 00:16:30.412
- When you take your child and your child gets up here
- 00:16:30.412 --> 00:16:33.382
- 8:00 in the morning, they stay to 3 or 4:00 night.
- 00:16:33.382 --> 00:16:36.518
- They belong to us.
- 00:16:36.518 --> 00:16:37.753
- And don't you get involved in that?
- 00:16:37.753 --> 00:16:39.655
- If you do, says this statement up front,
- 00:16:39.655 --> 00:16:43.859
- Your child can be dismissed by the board
- 00:16:44.726 --> 00:16:47.362
- And none of your money will be refunded.
- 00:16:47.362 --> 00:16:53.001
- Welcome to russia.
- 00:16:53.435 --> 00:16:57.906
- That's where we are.
- 00:16:58.373 --> 00:17:02.244
- And when you build
- 00:17:02.678 --> 00:17:05.414
- Your family on sand.
- 00:17:05.414 --> 00:17:09.918
- When the wind, the rains, what?
- 00:17:10.552 --> 00:17:13.255
- All of this is flung against your family.
- 00:17:13.255 --> 00:17:16.892
- God says that family
- 00:17:16.892 --> 00:17:20.262
- Will not stand, and many of us
- 00:17:20.262 --> 00:17:22.598
- Could give testimony to that.
- 00:17:22.598 --> 00:17:25.334
- Many of us could say, i understand it.
- 00:17:26.168 --> 00:17:28.237
- Many of us will say, in fact, that's where i am,
- 00:17:28.237 --> 00:17:30.939
- I get that.
- 00:17:30.939 --> 00:17:34.143
- But then jesus goes on to say,
- 00:17:34.143 --> 00:17:37.613
- But if you build
- 00:17:38.013 --> 00:17:40.215
- Your family on rock,
- 00:17:40.215 --> 00:17:43.385
- On. rock.
- 00:17:43.685 --> 00:17:45.521
- Where does that phrase come from?
- 00:17:45.521 --> 00:17:48.123
- Says real philippi.
- 00:17:48.123 --> 00:17:49.825
- Jesus took the apostles that way up at the headwaters
- 00:17:49.825 --> 00:17:52.961
- Of the jordan river. i've been there.
- 00:17:52.961 --> 00:17:55.164
- Beautiful spot, pristine and of the headwaters
- 00:17:55.164 --> 00:17:58.700
- Jesus set down with his apostles.
- 00:17:58.700 --> 00:18:00.802
- He began to teach them, preparing them for the storm
- 00:18:00.802 --> 00:18:04.039
- And the winds and the rains and all the
- 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.242
- First century wokingham they would have to deal with.
- 00:18:07.242 --> 00:18:10.779
- And finally he asked, well, well, guys,
- 00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:14.149
- Who do people say that i am that
- 00:18:14.850 --> 00:18:16.518
- All you get the public opinion this that the other.
- 00:18:16.518 --> 00:18:20.055
- He said, who do you say that i am?
- 00:18:20.055 --> 00:18:21.924
- Oh, wait a minute.
- 00:18:21.924 --> 00:18:23.258
- And peter says, you're the christ, you're the messiah.
- 00:18:23.258 --> 00:18:28.897
- You're the one the old testament is promised.
- 00:18:28.897 --> 00:18:31.033
- You are god in human flesh, fulfilling
- 00:18:31.033 --> 00:18:34.636
- All prophecy to instruct us and give us the way
- 00:18:34.636 --> 00:18:38.173
- Of salvation now and salvation for ever.
- 00:18:38.173 --> 00:18:41.376
- You are the messiah.
- 00:18:41.376 --> 00:18:44.546
- How did jesus bond?
- 00:18:45.013 --> 00:18:47.683
- He said, peter,
- 00:18:47.683 --> 00:18:49.518
- Flesh and blood didn't tell you this.
- 00:18:49.518 --> 00:18:51.653
- You didn't come through it by logic.
- 00:18:51.653 --> 00:18:54.790
- The holy spirit led you to say this.
- 00:18:55.557 --> 00:18:57.759
- And on peter's profession of faith,
- 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:01.296
- Not on peter,
- 00:19:01.296 --> 00:19:04.299
- On your profession of faith, said jesus, i will build
- 00:19:04.299 --> 00:19:07.903
- My church, my body of activity
- 00:19:07.903 --> 00:19:12.608
- In the world, my church.
- 00:19:12.608 --> 00:19:15.844
- And he says, the gates of hell
- 00:19:15.844 --> 00:19:18.981
- Will not prevail against my church,
- 00:19:18.981 --> 00:19:21.984
- But the church has to be the church.
- 00:19:21.984 --> 00:19:25.220
- In other words, the gates of hell can't keep the church out.
- 00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:28.090
- The problem is, the church has been so dead
- 00:19:28.090 --> 00:19:31.093
- And complacent they haven't even tried to get in.
- 00:19:31.093 --> 00:19:39.034
- You and the church can be complicit
- 00:19:39.801 --> 00:19:43.272
- And we take the same advice that sam rayburn
- 00:19:43.272 --> 00:19:47.409
- Gave to john kennedy when he went to the house. mr.
- 00:19:47.409 --> 00:19:49.811
- Kennedy asked, well, what can i do up here in congress?
- 00:19:49.811 --> 00:19:52.581
- And rayburn said, well, you way you get along, you go along.
- 00:19:52.581 --> 00:19:57.919
- Was your tony in philosophy.
- 00:19:58.520 --> 00:20:00.255
- That is deadly then and deadly today.
- 00:20:00.255 --> 00:20:03.992
- So you're either complicit, you join in
- 00:20:03.992 --> 00:20:08.530
- Or you're complacent or you're courageous.
- 00:20:08.530 --> 00:20:12.467
- Are you tired of stooping?
- 00:20:13.035 --> 00:20:15.404
- Folks, if there's ever a time
- 00:20:15.404 --> 00:20:19.007
- In history, it is a time for god's people
- 00:20:19.007 --> 00:20:23.011
- To stand now.
- 00:20:23.011 --> 00:20:59.448
- A church built,
- 00:20:59.815 --> 00:21:02.918
- A family built on sand
- 00:21:02.918 --> 00:21:05.821
- Will not survive
- 00:21:06.221 --> 00:21:08.857
- When the storms.
- 00:21:08.857 --> 00:21:09.891
- Come.
- 00:21:09.891 --> 00:21:11.126
- But built on that profession of faith in jesus christ.
- 00:21:11.126 --> 00:21:15.163
- And by the way, let me just tell you something.
- 00:21:16.098 --> 00:21:20.202
- A lot of people can tell you about.
- 00:21:21.002 --> 00:21:23.772
- You know, i've had an experience with jesus.
- 00:21:23.772 --> 00:21:27.609
- I've had experience with jesus.
- 00:21:27.609 --> 00:21:29.411
- You know, think about it.
- 00:21:29.411 --> 00:21:30.212
- Experience with jesus.
- 00:21:30.212 --> 00:21:32.881
- It comes and goes.
- 00:21:32.881 --> 00:21:34.616
- Oh, yeah. it's objective.
- 00:21:34.616 --> 00:21:37.452
- I had an experience with jesus.
- 00:21:37.452 --> 00:21:39.421
- Boy, what happened to beat your tree?
- 00:21:39.421 --> 00:21:40.889
- That happened in a mountain.
- 00:21:40.889 --> 00:21:42.324
- It happened in church. it happened in sunday school.
- 00:21:42.324 --> 00:21:44.659
- It happened around i experienced with jesus.
- 00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:47.496
- That's all great.
- 00:21:47.496 --> 00:21:49.231
- I've had a lot of experience with jesus.
- 00:21:49.231 --> 00:21:51.333
- Many of you have.
- 00:21:51.333 --> 00:21:53.101
- But i can tell you something that's not enough,
- 00:21:53.101 --> 00:21:56.872
- Because experience of
- 00:21:57.372 --> 00:21:59.074
- Jesus is subjective.
- 00:21:59.074 --> 00:22:02.677
- You can't debate with me about my experience with jesus.
- 00:22:02.677 --> 00:22:05.847
- I can't debate with you. but i'll tell you what.
- 00:22:05.847 --> 00:22:08.417
- When the storms come, you'd better have more
- 00:22:08.417 --> 00:22:12.120
- Than just a subjective number of experience with jesus.
- 00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:16.992
- You'd better have the fact of jesus.
- 00:22:16.992 --> 00:22:20.295
- You see, facts are objective.
- 00:22:20.929 --> 00:22:24.299
- We'd better have the life of jesus and his teaching,
- 00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:28.203
- Which we're able to follow when we're in christ, empowered
- 00:22:28.203 --> 00:22:32.073
- By the holy spirit.
- 00:22:32.073 --> 00:22:33.141
- And we better understand
- 00:22:33.141 --> 00:22:34.876
- The crucifixion of jesus and the resurrection of jesus.
- 00:22:34.876 --> 00:22:38.447
- Those are facts.
- 00:22:38.447 --> 00:22:39.815
- That's objectivity.
- 00:22:39.815 --> 00:22:41.616
- And ladies and gentlemen,
- 00:22:41.616 --> 00:22:42.951
- You can call yourself christian till you're blue in the face.
- 00:22:42.951 --> 00:22:46.855
- Say, i had experience with jesus.
- 00:22:46.855 --> 00:22:48.390
- I walked down the aisle, i was baptized,
- 00:22:48.390 --> 00:22:50.292
- I was confirmed, i had a membership.
- 00:22:50.292 --> 00:22:52.327
- This i taught a class doesn't mean a different in the world.
- 00:22:52.327 --> 00:22:55.397
- That is words. that is subjectivity.
- 00:22:55.397 --> 00:22:58.033
- Unless your experience of jesus is based upon objective truth
- 00:22:58.033 --> 00:23:03.205
- And that will be there forever
- 00:23:03.205 --> 00:23:06.875
- And is under.
- 00:23:06.875 --> 00:23:10.545
- And if you're right around and say, boy, i love jesus.
- 00:23:11.646 --> 00:23:15.484
- But i don't like his church.
- 00:23:16.084 --> 00:23:19.154
- Oh, that's like saying i love to swim.
- 00:23:19.154 --> 00:23:21.656
- And i got a food, my backyard.
- 00:23:21.656 --> 00:23:24.159
- And but i never, never jump in.
- 00:23:24.159 --> 00:23:27.162
- Man, i love to go to the mountains
- 00:23:27.929 --> 00:23:30.098
- And i have many chances to go.
- 00:23:30.098 --> 00:23:31.733
- But, you know, i just hardly ever go.
- 00:23:31.733 --> 00:23:34.936
- That makes sense.
- 00:23:35.370 --> 00:23:35.971
- Anybody does that.
- 00:23:35.971 --> 00:23:38.673
- That rang true.
- 00:23:38.673 --> 00:23:40.609
- That's hearing and professing
- 00:23:40.609 --> 00:23:43.478
- That subjectivity.
- 00:23:43.912 --> 00:23:45.013
- But objectivity is man.
- 00:23:45.013 --> 00:23:47.048
- That's just where i want to be
- 00:23:47.048 --> 00:23:48.550
- And who to whom i want to belong.
- 00:23:48.550 --> 00:23:52.053
- Built on the rock
- 00:23:52.487 --> 00:23:56.791
- Solid rock,
- 00:23:57.125 --> 00:23:59.294
- Which is jesus christ.
- 00:23:59.294 --> 00:24:01.329
- That's what has to be in a marriage
- 00:24:01.329 --> 00:24:04.633
- And a family if it is not only to survive,
- 00:24:04.633 --> 00:24:07.903
- But it is to thrive and it is to sing.
- 00:24:07.903 --> 00:24:12.207
- So a family built on sand slammed,
- 00:24:12.207 --> 00:24:17.012
- Slammed,
- 00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:20.015
- Crumbles,
- 00:24:20.015 --> 00:24:22.317
- A family builds on rock, slammed
- 00:24:22.317 --> 00:24:25.987
- Stands.
- 00:24:26.221 --> 00:24:28.256
- What's the difference?
- 00:24:28.256 --> 00:24:30.992
- The foundation.
- 00:24:30.992 --> 00:24:35.497
- Over 80 times in the bible,
- 00:24:33.662 --> 00:24:37.098
- The word foundation is mentioned over 80 times.
- 00:24:37.098 --> 00:24:40.802
- And jesus says it's the foundation.
- 00:24:40.802 --> 00:24:44.005
- Is it saying to rock,
- 00:24:44.005 --> 00:24:46.675
- I go to your house, your home, one room,
- 00:24:46.675 --> 00:24:49.177
- 700 rooms doesn't make any difference.
- 00:24:49.177 --> 00:24:52.080
- When i go in, i'll look at the decor and i look at, you know,
- 00:24:52.080 --> 00:24:55.483
- Just casually how you live and it's comfortable.
- 00:24:55.483 --> 00:24:57.686
- It's fine.
- 00:24:57.686 --> 00:24:58.453
- I don't you don't go in and say,
- 00:24:58.453 --> 00:24:59.721
- I want to show you my foundation,
- 00:24:59.721 --> 00:25:02.891
- My house. look at here.
- 00:25:02.891 --> 00:25:04.793
- But what's most important thing?
- 00:25:04.793 --> 00:25:08.096
- It's the unseen foundation, ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:25:08.096 --> 00:25:11.399
- And we don't know
- 00:25:11.833 --> 00:25:12.901
- If we have a foundation until cracks begin to come.
- 00:25:12.901 --> 00:25:16.237
- Maybe official begins to come.
- 00:25:16.838 --> 00:25:19.007
- And somehow the house begins to tilt a little bit.
- 00:25:19.007 --> 00:25:23.478
- You say, my goodness, i have foundational problems.
- 00:25:23.478 --> 00:25:28.516
- A lot of people need not just to hear
- 00:25:29.317 --> 00:25:32.520
- What christ is saying to us today in this world culture,
- 00:25:32.520 --> 00:25:36.291
- We need to awaken and check our foundation,
- 00:25:36.291 --> 00:25:39.661
- Our faithfulness, our discipline, our walk,
- 00:25:40.595 --> 00:25:43.765
- Our abc christianity that is based certainly on
- 00:25:43.765 --> 00:25:48.036
- Experience with jesus.
- 00:25:48.036 --> 00:25:49.337
- Don't misunderstand that, but it based on the fact of jesus.
- 00:25:49.337 --> 00:25:54.709
- That's objective truth.
- 00:25:55.210 --> 00:25:57.312
- On objective truth, we can have a wonderful
- 00:25:57.312 --> 00:25:59.914

- With stress, disappointment, distance and discouragement,
- 00:26:09.858 --> 00:26:13.695
- Wondering if the joy they want shared can ever return.
- 00:26:13.695 --> 00:26:17.632
