The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Socialism Vs. Capitalism | June 4, 2026
- In civil terms,
- 00:00:02.081 --> 00:00:04.149
- Socialism is you have two towns ceos
- 00:00:04.149 --> 00:00:09.721
- And the government takes over those two cows
- 00:00:09.721 --> 00:00:13.258
- And the government decides how much milk you get.
- 00:00:13.258 --> 00:00:17.396
- That is a simple explanation
- 00:00:17.996 --> 00:00:21.633
- Of socialism today and forever.
- 00:00:21.633 --> 00:00:25.037
- And you see how it creeps in on us
- 00:00:25.037 --> 00:00:28.540
- More and more
- 00:00:28.907 --> 00:00:30.542
- Federal control of everything and everybody.
- 00:00:30.542 --> 00:00:34.079
- That is socialism.
- 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:35.380
- So we're chewing on socialism.
- 00:00:35.380 --> 00:00:37.382
- And i'd say you spit the whole thing out.
- 00:00:37.382 --> 00:01:01.874
- In all of our society today.
- 00:01:02.508 --> 00:01:05.911
- So many things we thought were nailed down forever.
- 00:01:05.911 --> 00:01:09.948
- Somehow we see the very foundation
- 00:01:10.682 --> 00:01:14.486
- Being uprooted.
- 00:01:14.853 --> 00:01:17.256
- So we think about times in which we need to know
- 00:01:17.256 --> 00:01:22.728
- And discern one big word
- 00:01:22.728 --> 00:01:26.265
- Pregnant word.
- 00:01:26.598 --> 00:01:29.334
- Truth.
- 00:01:29.334 --> 00:01:32.004
- Objective, not subjective truth.
- 00:01:32.004 --> 00:01:36.175
- Jesus said i was born into the world
- 00:01:36.975 --> 00:01:40.879
- To testify to truth.
- 00:01:41.346 --> 00:01:45.117
- And then he said, those
- 00:01:45.617 --> 00:01:47.986
- Who live according to truth.
- 00:01:47.986 --> 00:01:50.822
- He said, those who are of truth,
- 00:01:50.822 --> 00:01:54.893
- They know
- 00:01:55.194 --> 00:01:57.529
- That i am testifying to truth.
- 00:01:57.529 --> 00:02:00.832
- And then pilate asked
- 00:02:00.832 --> 00:02:03.802
- A postmodern question.
- 00:02:04.269 --> 00:02:08.207
- He said, what is truth?
- 00:02:08.707 --> 00:02:11.410
- He had all the evidence on three different occasions.
- 00:02:11.410 --> 00:02:15.047
- He said, i find no fault in this man.
- 00:02:15.047 --> 00:02:17.716
- I find no fault of this man.
- 00:02:17.716 --> 00:02:19.351
- He knew on the basis of truth that jesus was innocent,
- 00:02:19.351 --> 00:02:24.122
- Totally innocent.
- 00:02:24.556 --> 00:02:26.992
- But still he said, what is truth?
- 00:02:26.992 --> 00:02:31.430
- In other words, the postmodern mindset.
- 00:02:32.231 --> 00:02:34.166
- Well, truth is whatever you want it to be.
- 00:02:34.166 --> 00:02:36.335
- You have your truth. i have my truth.
- 00:02:36.335 --> 00:02:38.770
- Everything is subjective.
- 00:02:38.770 --> 00:02:40.305
- Everything is up for grabs.
- 00:02:40.305 --> 00:02:41.707
- So pilate asked, what is truth when he knew the truth?
- 00:02:41.707 --> 00:02:46.044
- And then pilate walked out.
- 00:02:46.645 --> 00:02:49.815
- He was looking at him
- 00:02:50.315 --> 00:02:52.217
- Who came to witness to the truth.
- 00:02:52.217 --> 00:02:55.187
- Follow me carefully.
- 00:02:55.187 --> 00:02:56.622
- Who embodied the truth?
- 00:02:56.622 --> 00:02:58.890
- Who spoke the truth, who brought
- 00:02:58.890 --> 00:03:01.793
- To life ultimate objective truth.
- 00:03:01.793 --> 00:03:04.529
- And pilate knew that was truth.
- 00:03:04.529 --> 00:03:07.833
- And he said, what is truth?
- 00:03:07.833 --> 00:03:11.236
- What is truth?
- 00:03:11.570 --> 00:03:13.905
- That's where we are today in our culture, folks.
- 00:03:13.905 --> 00:03:17.776
- One of our young men to college in the last 20 years,
- 00:03:17.776 --> 00:03:20.646
- They were trained,
- 00:03:20.646 --> 00:03:23.448
- Indoctrinated that there's no such thing
- 00:03:23.448 --> 00:03:26.618
- As objective truth hits all up for grabs.
- 00:03:26.618 --> 00:03:30.422
- And pilate asset postmodern question.
- 00:03:30.422 --> 00:03:34.092
- And he answered it
- 00:03:34.092 --> 00:03:37.062
- By giving jesus over to be crucified,
- 00:03:37.062 --> 00:03:40.499
- Even though he knew that objectively,
- 00:03:40.499 --> 00:03:43.468
- He was totally innocent of every charge.
- 00:03:43.468 --> 00:03:48.106
- He said, well, that was way back there.
- 00:03:48.907 --> 00:03:50.676
- And antiquity.
- 00:03:50.676 --> 00:03:51.677
- No, that's exactly where we are today.
- 00:03:51.677 --> 00:03:55.213
- We've been looking at the woke mindset.
- 00:03:56.048 --> 00:04:00.585
- Let me say something as a thesis.
- 00:04:00.585 --> 00:04:02.954
- I have looked at wokingham as best as i can,
- 00:04:02.954 --> 00:04:06.491
- And i can tell you the woke philosophy ideology
- 00:04:06.491 --> 00:04:11.263
- Is totally diametrically opposed to biblical truth.
- 00:04:11.263 --> 00:04:16.401
- You take their phrases and their terminology,
- 00:04:17.269 --> 00:04:20.772
- And you unpack it as they interpret it.
- 00:04:20.772 --> 00:04:23.742
- And it all sounds good.
- 00:04:23.742 --> 00:04:26.311
- Who's not for social justice?
- 00:04:26.311 --> 00:04:28.180
- They have redefined social justice.
- 00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:30.649
- And you can take every tenant as we looking at it, line
- 00:04:30.649 --> 00:04:34.286
- By line, verse by verse.
- 00:04:34.286 --> 00:04:36.021
- And you see, it's the totally opposite
- 00:04:36.021 --> 00:04:38.890
- Of the biblical understanding of that.
- 00:04:38.890 --> 00:04:41.727
- That sounds so right, so appropriate in our world today.
- 00:04:41.727 --> 00:04:48.033
- And one big word that they use as a background
- 00:04:48.033 --> 00:04:51.937
- And the cause of all of our problems is capitalism.
- 00:04:51.937 --> 00:04:56.007
- Oh, yes.
- 00:04:56.007 --> 00:04:57.709
- Capitalism is a source of racism.
- 00:04:57.709 --> 00:05:01.446
- Capitalism is a source of bigotry.
- 00:05:01.446 --> 00:05:04.583
- Capitalism is a source of communist language.
- 00:05:04.583 --> 00:05:08.153
- Remember the oppressed
- 00:05:08.153 --> 00:05:11.556
- And those who are the oppressors.
- 00:05:11.556 --> 00:05:14.259
- And then we say, let's discern and look at socialism,
- 00:05:14.259 --> 00:05:18.830
- Slash communism, and then let's look at capitalism.
- 00:05:18.830 --> 00:05:22.567
- How do we understand this?
- 00:05:22.567 --> 00:05:25.804
- It's a matter of definition.
- 00:05:26.405 --> 00:05:29.674
- It's a matter of unpacking these.
- 00:05:29.674 --> 00:05:31.810
- Well, how do you do that?
- 00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:33.845
- Remember, i recommended you mama bear apologetics.
- 00:05:33.845 --> 00:05:38.183
- Remember?
- 00:05:38.183 --> 00:05:39.551
- I hope you've altered that.
- 00:05:39.551 --> 00:05:40.552
- Hope you begin to read it.
- 00:05:40.552 --> 00:05:42.554
- It is so on target.
- 00:05:42.554 --> 00:05:44.589
- It's amazing.
- 00:05:44.589 --> 00:05:46.024
- And in that book i had another understanding of discernment.
- 00:05:46.024 --> 00:05:50.462
- Remember our big word?
- 00:05:50.462 --> 00:05:52.464
- If you don't have discernment, you're in trouble.
- 00:05:52.464 --> 00:05:54.766
- Discernment is knowing what is real and what is phony.
- 00:05:54.766 --> 00:05:58.336
- Knowing what is true and knowing what is false.
- 00:05:58.336 --> 00:06:00.972
- And by the way, it's not hard to know what is true.
- 00:06:00.972 --> 00:06:03.708
- Somebody say, well, pastor, can you define truth?
- 00:06:03.708 --> 00:06:06.812
- Yes, i can be give you a
- 00:06:06.812 --> 00:06:08.713
- Definition will be too hard for anybody.
- 00:06:08.713 --> 00:06:11.783
- If you say, what is that? it is.
- 00:06:11.783 --> 00:06:14.419
- And you say, what is not that it is not.
- 00:06:14.419 --> 00:06:17.989
- That's truth.
- 00:06:17.989 --> 00:06:19.591
- And if you say, what is that?
- 00:06:20.225 --> 00:06:22.260
- It is not.
- 00:06:22.260 --> 00:06:23.094
- And what is not that it is.
- 00:06:23.094 --> 00:06:25.797
- That's a lie.
- 00:06:25.797 --> 00:06:27.666
- Truth explained with one syllable words.
- 00:06:27.666 --> 00:06:31.169
- Not going to fast for anybody.
- 00:06:31.169 --> 00:06:32.771
- Am i?
- 00:06:32.771 --> 00:06:34.873
- And so we come and try to unpack truth.
- 00:06:34.873 --> 00:06:38.343
- And a great methodology is what the phrase
- 00:06:38.343 --> 00:06:42.647
- Talks about to and spit
- 00:06:42.647 --> 00:06:48.220
- Oh two and spit
- 00:06:48.587 --> 00:06:51.089
- Another way to discern something
- 00:06:51.089 --> 00:06:53.859
- Eating a steak.
- 00:06:54.226 --> 00:06:56.461
- Texas are known for all its state, right?
- 00:06:56.461 --> 00:06:58.997
- All in beef.
- 00:06:58.997 --> 00:06:59.965
- That's how we're known all around the world.
- 00:06:59.965 --> 00:07:01.633
- All it beef.
- 00:07:01.633 --> 00:07:02.701
- But you go to somebody's house and you eat a steak,
- 00:07:02.701 --> 00:07:07.172
- And once in a while you run into gristle.
- 00:07:07.172 --> 00:07:11.877
- Now you can chew it till tomorrow and it'll still be.
- 00:07:11.877 --> 00:07:16.014
- What do we do?
- 00:07:16.014 --> 00:07:17.282
- What do we talk in all of our high falutin texas etiquette?
- 00:07:17.282 --> 00:07:21.286
- What do we do?
- 00:07:21.286 --> 00:07:22.354
- We're chewing a steak and we're under gristle.
- 00:07:22.354 --> 00:07:25.357
- If we are very cultured, we take our napkin,
- 00:07:25.357 --> 00:07:29.127
- Which should have been in your lap,
- 00:07:29.127 --> 00:07:31.463
- And we very carefully take that gristle
- 00:07:31.463 --> 00:07:34.432
- And spit it in a napkin at the rest of the steak.
- 00:07:34.432 --> 00:07:40.539
- I'm not
- 00:07:40.772 --> 00:07:42.774
- Going to fast for anybody, am i?
- 00:07:42.774 --> 00:07:45.844
- That's discernment.
- 00:07:46.311 --> 00:07:48.847
- We take situations
- 00:07:48.847 --> 00:07:50.315
- Where we're looking for truth to live and act on it,
- 00:07:50.315 --> 00:07:53.018
- And we run into gristle, and we we choose that which is good
- 00:07:53.018 --> 00:07:56.788
- And we spit that which is not good.
- 00:07:56.788 --> 00:07:59.691
- So i want to practice that methodology today,
- 00:07:59.691 --> 00:08:03.428
- Not doing any spitting
- 00:08:03.895 --> 00:08:06.731
- In actuality, in reality.
- 00:08:06.731 --> 00:08:09.034
- But let's just take the word socialism
- 00:08:09.034 --> 00:08:12.637
- And chew on it a little bit.
- 00:08:12.637 --> 00:08:15.140
- Now, always have to give this disclaimer.
- 00:08:15.140 --> 00:08:19.611
- We're not going to cover every aspect of socialism,
- 00:08:19.611 --> 00:08:23.782
- And we're going to leave out some yuan's of it is like,
- 00:08:23.782 --> 00:08:26.985
- You get that somebody where you didn't.
- 00:08:26.985 --> 00:08:29.054
- I'm just going to give you the basic abc stuff, okay?
- 00:08:29.054 --> 00:08:32.924
- We'll cover everything about socialism.
- 00:08:32.924 --> 00:08:35.660
- But listen, what is socialism?
- 00:08:35.660 --> 00:08:37.395
- Basically socialism basically is the state
- 00:08:37.395 --> 00:08:42.067
- Owns our property,
- 00:08:42.067 --> 00:08:44.769
- That socialism state
- 00:08:44.769 --> 00:08:47.272
- Owns our property.
- 00:08:47.272 --> 00:08:50.542
- Socialism and the undergirding
- 00:08:50.542 --> 00:08:54.512
- Philosophy is communism.
- 00:08:54.512 --> 00:08:57.582
- What is communism?
- 00:08:57.582 --> 00:08:58.950
- From each according to his ability.
- 00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:01.586
- To each according to his need.
- 00:09:01.586 --> 00:09:04.055
- Dielectric materialism.
- 00:09:04.055 --> 00:09:05.757
- It sounds great.
- 00:09:05.757 --> 00:09:06.658
- It's a utopian concept.
- 00:09:06.658 --> 00:09:10.061
- And therefore we
- 00:09:10.462 --> 00:09:11.663
- Know that even in life,
- 00:09:11.663 --> 00:09:14.499
- Pure communism has never been successful.
- 00:09:14.499 --> 00:09:17.802
- And in life pure socialism
- 00:09:18.370 --> 00:09:21.306
- Over a period of time has never been successful.
- 00:09:21.306 --> 00:09:24.576
- I'll debate anybody on this at another occasion.
- 00:09:24.576 --> 00:09:28.046
- So we see some illustrations in history.
- 00:09:28.046 --> 00:09:33.385
- You remember after the russian revolution,
- 00:09:33.385 --> 00:09:36.488
- They established the ussr
- 00:09:36.488 --> 00:09:39.224
- That stands for the union of soviet
- 00:09:39.991 --> 00:09:42.460
- Socialist republics.
- 00:09:42.460 --> 00:09:45.196
- They got a lot of good words
- 00:09:45.196 --> 00:09:46.331
- In there under covering the word socialism.
- 00:09:46.331 --> 00:09:50.135
- So they established a socialist republic in russia.
- 00:09:50.135 --> 00:09:54.472
- And we know the catastrophic end of that.
- 00:09:54.472 --> 00:09:56.875
- You say?
- 00:09:56.875 --> 00:09:57.942
- Well, they have been examples when that's work.
- 00:09:57.942 --> 00:10:00.245
- Well, let's go to sweden.
- 00:10:00.812 --> 00:10:03.114
- Oh, there's a wonderful country.
- 00:10:03.114 --> 00:10:05.583
- Read the history of sweden, ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:10:05.583 --> 00:10:08.186
- In the 1980s, sweden was a prosperous country.
- 00:10:08.186 --> 00:10:12.424
- Low taxes.
- 00:10:12.424 --> 00:10:13.692
- Not many people in government, minimum government amount.
- 00:10:13.692 --> 00:10:17.696
- There was freedom.
- 00:10:17.696 --> 00:10:18.630
- You could go
- 00:10:18.630 --> 00:10:19.798
- There and start a business or an enterprise or a career
- 00:10:19.798 --> 00:10:22.333
- And you would be successful.
- 00:10:22.333 --> 00:10:24.102
- It was a very successful country until 1980.
- 00:10:24.102 --> 00:10:27.472
- Somebody said, well,
- 00:10:27.472 --> 00:10:28.606
- We need to spread this out equally among everybody.
- 00:10:28.606 --> 00:10:32.177
- And all of a sudden they had a bigger government.
- 00:10:32.177 --> 00:10:34.779
- All of a sudden all these regulations came into being,
- 00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:37.949
- And then all of a sudden you see a flattening out of the
- 00:10:37.949 --> 00:10:41.686
- Economy.
- 00:10:41.686 --> 00:10:42.754
- And by 1990s, sweden was in big trouble.
- 00:10:42.754 --> 00:10:46.725
- And now they have slowly begin to move back into a free
- 00:10:46.725 --> 00:10:51.296
- Market.
- 00:10:51.296 --> 00:10:52.097
- And the country has been changed.
- 00:10:52.097 --> 00:10:53.965
- That is current history.
- 00:10:53.965 --> 00:10:56.501
- Let's go to venezuela.
- 00:10:56.501 --> 00:10:58.536
- Well, there's a good example.
- 00:10:58.536 --> 00:11:00.071
- Venezuela was one of the most prosperous countries
- 00:11:00.071 --> 00:11:02.974
- In all of south carolina, south carolina, south america.
- 00:11:02.974 --> 00:11:07.212
- Same thing.
- 00:11:07.212 --> 00:11:10.715
- All countries.
- 00:11:11.049 --> 00:11:12.016
- They're what happened to venezuela.
- 00:11:12.016 --> 00:11:13.952
- And you got hugo chavez ran for to be the leader and said,
- 00:11:13.952 --> 00:11:17.989
- Oh, we need to take all the wealth of venezuela
- 00:11:17.989 --> 00:11:21.126
- And just flatten it out scattered among all the people.
- 00:11:21.126 --> 00:11:23.695
- And that's exactly what he did.
- 00:11:23.695 --> 00:11:25.830
- And at first, the head of the labor party
- 00:11:25.830 --> 00:11:28.466
- In great britain said, boy, look what hugo chavez.
- 00:11:28.466 --> 00:11:32.270
- That's an example for everybody.
- 00:11:32.270 --> 00:11:33.905
- What socialism would do you take for the rich?
- 00:11:33.905 --> 00:11:36.407
- You get, man, that's a beautiful example.
- 00:11:36.407 --> 00:11:39.611
- And all the hollywood elites who know so much about economy,
- 00:11:39.611 --> 00:11:43.047
- They said, i want to go to venezuela.
- 00:11:43.047 --> 00:11:45.150
- And at first it seemed to be prosperous.
- 00:11:45.150 --> 00:11:47.619
- It seemed to be working.
- 00:11:47.619 --> 00:11:48.686
- But just like margaret thatcher said, socialism is a
- 00:11:48.686 --> 00:11:52.991
- Wonderful thing until you run out of somebody else's money.
- 00:11:52.991 --> 00:11:58.897
- And the big
- 00:11:59.230 --> 00:12:00.265
- Word of socialist, it's all free, you see.
- 00:12:00.265 --> 00:12:03.835
- It's free, it's free, it's free.
- 00:12:03.835 --> 00:12:07.005
- But, you know, a rat looks at cheese and a trap,
- 00:12:07.005 --> 00:12:11.709
- And the rat says,
- 00:12:11.709 --> 00:12:14.245
- That cheese looks free to me.
- 00:12:14.245 --> 00:12:17.415
- Just go get it.
- 00:12:17.415 --> 00:12:19.417
- That's what happens to socialistic thinking.
- 00:12:19.417 --> 00:12:22.387
- We go get some.
- 00:12:22.387 --> 00:12:23.388
- It's free.
- 00:12:23.388 --> 00:12:24.422
- And, ladies and gentlemen, there's not a thing
- 00:12:24.422 --> 00:12:26.591
- On this earth that is free
- 00:12:26.591 --> 00:12:30.261
- Except the grace of god.
- 00:12:30.795 --> 00:12:33.865
- Marriage is one of god's greatest gifts.
- 00:12:34.699 --> 00:12:37.635
- You might say, next to the gift of our salvation, christ.
- 00:12:37.635 --> 00:12:41.673
- It's number one.
- 00:12:41.673 --> 00:12:42.941
- But let's be honest, it also brings real challenges.
- 00:12:42.941 --> 00:12:46.678
- Every couple of face disagreements, miscommunication
- 00:12:46.678 --> 00:12:51.983
- Or financial pressure, family tensions, and seasons
- 00:12:51.983 --> 00:12:55.320
- Of frustration in the whole area of marriage.
- 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.256
- You know, saying that if you're married, left unchecked,
- 00:12:58.256 --> 00:13:02.493
- Those struggles can slowly erode into
- 00:13:02.493 --> 00:13:06.231
- Even a marriage that should be great.
- 00:13:06.231 --> 00:13:07.999
- Into a marriage, that's just okay.
- 00:13:07.999 --> 00:13:10.702
- But that does not have to be your story.
- 00:13:10.702 --> 00:13:14.672
- In the ten commandments of marriage,
- 00:13:14.672 --> 00:13:16.474
- I share biblical truth, practical wisdom,
- 00:13:16.474 --> 00:13:19.410
- And a little humor drawn from more than 50
- 00:13:19.410 --> 00:13:22.814
- Years of ministry and marriage experience.
- 00:13:22.814 --> 00:13:25.750
- These ten timeless principles are designed to help husbands
- 00:13:25.750 --> 00:13:29.954
- And wives protect what matters most and strengthen
- 00:13:29.954 --> 00:13:33.858
- That relationship, and build a marriage
- 00:13:33.858 --> 00:13:36.461
- Based on love and joy, and a lasting commitment
- 00:13:36.461 --> 00:13:40.031
- That's filled with laughter and pleasure and excitement.
- 00:13:40.031 --> 00:13:45.303
- Listen, god never intended marriage to be.
- 00:13:45.303 --> 00:13:49.073
- Let's just survive and hang on.
- 00:13:49.073 --> 00:13:51.609
- He attended it to sing and to thrive.
- 00:13:51.609 --> 00:13:55.546
- Listen, if you really want a healthier,
- 00:13:55.546 --> 00:13:58.583
- Christ centered marriage that still has warmth, passion,
- 00:13:58.583 --> 00:14:02.387
- And purpose, these ten commandments of marriage
- 00:14:02.387 --> 00:14:05.857
- Is just for you.
- 00:14:05.857 --> 00:14:07.659
- Call them on your screen or visit the website below
- 00:14:07.659 --> 00:14:10.361
- To regress your copy of the ten commandments of marriage.
- 00:14:10.361 --> 00:14:14.699
- Do it today.
- 00:14:14.699 --> 00:14:23.808
- You can go back, for example, to israel
- 00:14:24.609 --> 00:14:26.878
- When when they first became a nation in 1948,
- 00:14:26.878 --> 00:14:31.349
- They set up little communities
- 00:14:31.349 --> 00:14:33.918
- That were purely communistic.
- 00:14:33.918 --> 00:14:37.155
- Everybody was supposed to work.
- 00:14:37.155 --> 00:14:39.090
- They scattered them all over israel.
- 00:14:39.090 --> 00:14:40.625
- Each one had a pacific trade,
- 00:14:40.625 --> 00:14:42.527
- Something they made or manufactured a group.
- 00:14:42.527 --> 00:14:44.862
- What happened to that?
- 00:14:44.862 --> 00:14:46.764
- As those who tried that experiment in israel
- 00:14:46.764 --> 00:14:50.435
- In the beginning days and they say, exactly.
- 00:14:50.435 --> 00:14:54.072
- It's a paradise for parasites,
- 00:14:54.072 --> 00:14:57.508
- A paradise prepared because all of a sudden
- 00:14:58.409 --> 00:15:00.645
- Somebody said, you know, i get the same work that
- 00:15:00.645 --> 00:15:02.680
- I don't have to do anything.
- 00:15:02.680 --> 00:15:06.084
- Can you beat that?
- 00:15:06.517 --> 00:15:08.686
- And you see what happens in the wokingham
- 00:15:08.686 --> 00:15:12.790
- That is sponsoring socialism today?
- 00:15:12.790 --> 00:15:15.793
- Here's what they believe.
- 00:15:15.793 --> 00:15:17.061
- You can help the poor by destroying the rich.
- 00:15:17.061 --> 00:15:20.565
- You can strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
- 00:15:20.565 --> 00:15:23.801
- You can bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
- 00:15:23.801 --> 00:15:27.305
- You can lift the wage earner by pulling the taxpayer down.
- 00:15:27.305 --> 00:15:32.310
- You can further have brotherhood by
- 00:15:32.310 --> 00:15:35.980
- Inviting class hatred.
- 00:15:36.447 --> 00:15:38.583
- You can build character and courage
- 00:15:38.583 --> 00:15:40.218
- By taking away a person's initiative.
- 00:15:40.218 --> 00:15:43.187
- You can help people permanently
- 00:15:43.187 --> 00:15:44.756
- By doing for them what they can do for themselves.
- 00:15:44.756 --> 00:15:48.393
- That is woke socialism spelled out for us to see.
- 00:15:48.393 --> 00:15:53.231
- Now, in case you are still lost and confused about socialism,
- 00:15:53.231 --> 00:15:57.435
- What it is, let me say again, in civil terms,
- 00:15:57.435 --> 00:16:02.273
- Socialism is you have two towns ceos
- 00:16:02.273 --> 00:16:07.845
- And the government takes over those two cows
- 00:16:07.845 --> 00:16:11.382
- And the government decides how much milk you get.
- 00:16:11.382 --> 00:16:15.720
- That is a simple
- 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:18.556
- Explanation of socialism today and forever.
- 00:16:18.556 --> 00:16:23.161
- And you see how it creeps in on us
- 00:16:23.161 --> 00:16:26.664
- More and more
- 00:16:27.031 --> 00:16:28.666
- Federal control of everything and everybody.
- 00:16:28.666 --> 00:16:32.203
- That is socialism.
- 00:16:32.203 --> 00:16:33.504
- So we're chewing on socialism.
- 00:16:33.504 --> 00:16:35.506
- And i'd say you spit the whole thing out.
- 00:16:35.506 --> 00:16:42.113
- Now, let's not be delicate lest you own capitalism.
- 00:16:43.147 --> 00:16:48.219
- What is capitalism?
- 00:16:48.686 --> 00:16:51.022
- Capitalism is property
- 00:16:51.022 --> 00:16:53.825
- Is owned by the individual.
- 00:16:53.825 --> 00:16:56.594
- How different?
- 00:16:56.594 --> 00:16:57.628
- Instead of property
- 00:16:57.628 --> 00:16:59.197
- Owned by the state, is property owned by the individual?
- 00:16:59.197 --> 00:17:02.867
- In order to be scholarly, i want to give you
- 00:17:02.867 --> 00:17:05.837
- A really scholarly definition of capitalism,
- 00:17:05.837 --> 00:17:08.673
- Because there's a zillion definitions out there.
- 00:17:08.673 --> 00:17:11.409
- There's been a zillion books
- 00:17:11.409 --> 00:17:13.077
- And studies don't know what it means.
- 00:17:13.077 --> 00:17:14.579
- And evidently those in power
- 00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:17.448
- In the world, they say capitalism is a problem.
- 00:17:17.448 --> 00:17:21.152
- Let's see what capitalism is.
- 00:17:21.152 --> 00:17:22.587
- Let's look at the $10 definition of it.
- 00:17:22.587 --> 00:17:25.990
- Capitalism is an economic system
- 00:17:26.724 --> 00:17:29.760
- Where in privately owned, relatively
- 00:17:29.760 --> 00:17:32.196
- Well organized and stable forms pursue complex
- 00:17:32.196 --> 00:17:36.167
- Commercial activities with a relatively free,
- 00:17:36.167 --> 00:17:39.403
- Unregulated market, taking a systematic,
- 00:17:39.403 --> 00:17:42.907
- Long term approach to investing
- 00:17:42.907 --> 00:17:45.076
- And reinvesting wealth directly or indirectly
- 00:17:45.076 --> 00:17:48.179
- In productive activities involving a hired workforce
- 00:17:48.179 --> 00:17:52.150
- And guided by anticipation of actual returns.
- 00:17:52.150 --> 00:17:56.687
- That's a $10 definition of capitalism.
- 00:17:56.687 --> 00:18:01.626
- But let me explain it where all of us can understand it.
- 00:18:01.626 --> 00:18:05.830
- You own two cows,
- 00:18:06.264 --> 00:18:09.300
- You sell one cow and buy a bull.
- 00:18:09.300 --> 00:18:13.070
- That's capitalism.
- 00:18:13.504 --> 00:18:19.510
- So we look at the history of capitalism.
- 00:18:20.344 --> 00:18:22.280
- Where did it come from?
- 00:18:22.280 --> 00:18:23.981
- Did it just appear this form of economic. no.
- 00:18:23.981 --> 00:18:27.151
- You can find shadows of it all.
- 00:18:27.151 --> 00:18:29.187
- The back of genesis have dominion.
- 00:18:29.187 --> 00:18:32.356
- God said, be fruitful and multiply.
- 00:18:32.356 --> 00:18:35.193
- You are stewards over creation.
- 00:18:35.193 --> 00:18:38.062
- That's beginning. idea.
- 00:18:38.563 --> 00:18:40.398
- You go all the way through abraham, isaac and jacob.
- 00:18:40.398 --> 00:18:43.568
- All this property is cattle.
- 00:18:43.568 --> 00:18:45.036
- They begin to do business.
- 00:18:45.036 --> 00:18:46.804
- Move the ten commandments.
- 00:18:46.804 --> 00:18:48.739
- What's the eighth commandment?
- 00:18:48.739 --> 00:18:49.874
- Thou shalt not steal.
- 00:18:49.874 --> 00:18:51.409
- Somebody had to own something
- 00:18:51.409 --> 00:18:52.843
- And somebody else to take it from there.
- 00:18:52.843 --> 00:18:54.679
- You see the beginning of capitalism even back there.
- 00:18:54.679 --> 00:18:58.149
- And the 10th commandment says,
- 00:18:58.149 --> 00:19:00.084
- You shall not
- 00:19:00.084 --> 00:19:01.018
- Covet your covenant, what somebody else has
- 00:19:01.018 --> 00:19:03.087
- Under their control.
- 00:19:03.087 --> 00:19:04.322
- The beginning of capitalism
- 00:19:04.322 --> 00:19:06.691
- All the way through the old testament.
- 00:19:06.691 --> 00:19:08.759
- You come, the new testament,
- 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:09.927
- You come to the parable of jesus.
- 00:19:09.927 --> 00:19:11.329
- And there are many of them.
- 00:19:11.329 --> 00:19:12.563
- Now, i know some people
- 00:19:12.563 --> 00:19:13.598
- Say, well, the new testament teaches socialism.
- 00:19:13.598 --> 00:19:16.234
- That's a poor interpretation of that passage in acts,
- 00:19:16.234 --> 00:19:19.971
- And i can deal with it.
- 00:19:19.971 --> 00:19:20.938
- And one other little verse,
- 00:19:20.938 --> 00:19:22.506
- If you read it by itself without reading the next verse.
- 00:19:22.506 --> 00:19:25.376
- You know.
- 00:19:25.376 --> 00:19:26.344
- Well, that is totally biblically ignorant.
- 00:19:26.344 --> 00:19:30.047
- The bible, the new testament, does not teach socialism.
- 00:19:30.047 --> 00:19:33.251
- In fact, you can find the parable of jesus
- 00:19:33.251 --> 00:19:36.988
- There in matthew 25, the parable of the pounds.
- 00:19:36.988 --> 00:19:39.957
- You know,
- 00:19:39.957 --> 00:19:40.591
- The guy was going to leave
- 00:19:40.591 --> 00:19:41.626
- And he left three people in charge of his money.
- 00:19:41.626 --> 00:19:43.995
- What? he was gone.
- 00:19:43.995 --> 00:19:45.463
- And so he says, you know, here somebody has five.
- 00:19:45.463 --> 00:19:48.266
- Somebody gets two.
- 00:19:48.266 --> 00:19:49.467
- Somebody has one.
- 00:19:49.467 --> 00:19:51.168
- And by the way, you see what happens there in that parable.
- 00:19:51.168 --> 00:19:54.605
- It is very, very interesting.
- 00:19:54.605 --> 00:19:56.874
- What did jesus say, by the way?
- 00:19:56.874 --> 00:19:58.709
- This parable, this parable was the basis
- 00:19:58.709 --> 00:20:02.913
- Of the nobel prize given for economics in 1990.
- 00:20:02.913 --> 00:20:08.452
- Long range, short range.
- 00:20:08.986 --> 00:20:11.355
- Use what you got.
- 00:20:11.355 --> 00:20:12.323
- And jesus says these
- 00:20:12.323 --> 00:20:14.158
- This ability, these gifts were given out proportionally
- 00:20:14.158 --> 00:20:18.162
- As to the capacity for those who receive the gifts.
- 00:20:18.162 --> 00:20:21.999
- That's true of spiritual gifts.
- 00:20:21.999 --> 00:20:23.467
- It's true economic gifts.
- 00:20:23.467 --> 00:20:24.869
- And look what he said about the one guy
- 00:20:24.869 --> 00:20:27.605
- Who didn't use the gift that he had.
- 00:20:27.605 --> 00:20:30.308
- It's indeed very, very interesting.
- 00:20:30.308 --> 00:20:32.910
- He says, you ought to put my money in the bank.
- 00:20:32.910 --> 00:20:37.648
- And on my arrival, i would have received my money
- 00:20:37.648 --> 00:20:40.418
- Back with interest.
- 00:20:40.418 --> 00:20:41.385
- Therefore, take away the talent from him,
- 00:20:41.385 --> 00:20:43.821
- The money from him give to the one who has ten.
- 00:20:43.821 --> 00:20:46.157
- And this is it, he says, for to
- 00:20:46.157 --> 00:20:49.160
- Everyone who has more shall be given more.
- 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:52.396
- You have some gift, some ability,
- 00:20:52.396 --> 00:20:53.998
- Not just the money area of life.
- 00:20:53.998 --> 00:20:56.000
- You use that it'll be multiplied.
- 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.202
- It'll be multiplied.
- 00:20:58.202 --> 00:20:59.870
- Then he says he will have an abundance.
- 00:20:59.870 --> 00:21:01.906
- But from the from the one who does not have
- 00:21:01.906 --> 00:21:05.743
- Even that which he does have shall be taken away from you.
- 00:21:05.743 --> 00:21:09.313
- Don't use your talent for singing.
- 00:21:09.313 --> 00:21:11.782
- It'll be taken away.
- 00:21:11.782 --> 00:21:13.084
- You don't use your talent for serving.
- 00:21:13.084 --> 00:21:14.785
- It'll be taken away if you don't use what we got.
- 00:21:14.785 --> 00:21:17.555
- According to the bills that we have.
- 00:21:17.555 --> 00:21:19.023
- When we use it, we get more of it.
- 00:21:19.023 --> 00:21:22.193
- And look at the punishment for this.
- 00:21:22.193 --> 00:21:24.362
- It says
- 00:21:24.362 --> 00:21:26.297
- Throw out
- 00:21:26.597 --> 00:21:28.699
- Throughout the bums.
- 00:21:28.699 --> 00:21:31.969
- Throw out
- 00:21:32.269 --> 00:21:33.204
- The worthless money managers in the outer
- 00:21:33.204 --> 00:21:36.207
- Darkness, in the place
- 00:21:36.207 --> 00:21:37.541
- That will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- 00:21:37.541 --> 00:21:39.944
- Ladies and gentlemen,
- 00:21:39.944 --> 00:21:41.312
- The new testament teaches basic understanding of capitalism.
- 00:21:41.312 --> 00:21:45.116
- Well, it even appears later in history
- 00:21:45.116 --> 00:21:47.618
- When the roman empire failed.
- 00:21:47.618 --> 00:21:49.019
- What happened?
- 00:21:49.019 --> 00:21:50.354
- Saint benedict established benedictine
- 00:21:50.354 --> 00:21:53.991
- Benedict entities all over europe,
- 00:21:53.991 --> 00:21:58.062
- Monasteries, and they grow into towns and cities.
- 00:21:58.062 --> 00:22:00.831
- That is where capitalism as we know it was based.
- 00:22:00.831 --> 00:22:04.368
- That's the foundation in a christian context.
- 00:22:04.368 --> 00:22:07.505
- You can't argue with history in that context.
- 00:22:07.505 --> 00:22:10.808
- All of a sudden they had banking,
- 00:22:10.808 --> 00:22:12.710
- All of a sudden they had gold and silver
- 00:22:12.710 --> 00:22:14.445
- Coins in a way they had never seen before.
- 00:22:14.445 --> 00:22:16.280
- All of a sudden they had the lending of money.
- 00:22:16.280 --> 00:22:18.449
- All of a sudden
- 00:22:18.449 --> 00:22:19.383
- They had all the basic understanding of how
- 00:22:19.383 --> 00:22:22.119
- We do business in the america today and in the world today
- 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:25.623
- Under us, and capitalism, it came from those monasteries.
- 00:22:25.623 --> 00:22:30.261
- Isn't that interesting?
- 00:22:30.761 --> 00:22:32.663
- And then we go into the enlightenment.
- 00:22:32.663 --> 00:22:35.666
- We go in the reformation.
- 00:22:35.666 --> 00:22:36.867
- And it continued, in fact, the longest running franchise
- 00:22:36.867 --> 00:22:40.805
- In business in the world comes from the
- 00:22:40.805 --> 00:22:44.241
- Benedictine monastery and what they produce.
- 00:22:44.241 --> 00:22:47.578
- And no baptists would know what that is.
- 00:22:47.578 --> 00:22:49.713
- They produce today the best champagne
- 00:22:49.713 --> 00:22:52.249
- The world has over the longest running franchise
- 00:22:52.249 --> 00:22:55.920
- In the world.
- 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.887
- Capitalism.
- 00:22:56.887 --> 00:22:59.790
- Two cows sell one bible.
- 00:22:59.790 --> 00:23:03.861
- That's the genius today.
- 00:23:03.861 --> 00:23:06.030
- Well, i don't know about that.
- 00:23:06.030 --> 00:23:07.832
- Let me tell you something.
- 00:23:07.832 --> 00:23:09.867
- When something happens to indonesia
- 00:23:09.867 --> 00:23:11.402
- And they need funds,
- 00:23:11.402 --> 00:23:13.237
- Do they go to a communist country,
- 00:23:13.237 --> 00:23:14.905
- A socialist and go, no, no, no they don't.
- 00:23:14.905 --> 00:23:17.241
- They go to america.
- 00:23:17.241 --> 00:23:19.343
- We give away to nonprofits every year
- 00:23:19.343 --> 00:23:22.446
- Over $400 billion in the united states of america.
- 00:23:22.446 --> 00:23:26.984
- You can't find anybody close to that in the planet.
- 00:23:26.984 --> 00:23:34.124
- So i believe
- 00:23:34.458 --> 00:23:36.794
- You believe that capitalism gives the bility
- 00:23:36.794 --> 00:23:39.263
- To have a surplus and to use it.
- 00:23:39.263 --> 00:23:40.898
- Now, is capitalism perfect? no.
- 00:23:40.898 --> 00:23:43.801
- Does evil take place through capitalism? yes.
- 00:23:43.801 --> 00:23:47.338
- When nancy pelosi makes over $30 million last year
- 00:23:47.338 --> 00:23:51.308
- On the stock market, don't tell me she's
- 00:23:51.308 --> 00:23:54.078
- That smart.
- 00:23:54.078 --> 00:23:58.482
- That's not hard.
- 00:23:58.883 --> 00:24:00.885
- If you know what legislation is going to be passed,
- 00:24:00.885 --> 00:24:04.088
- You know, well, this is going to help this company.
- 00:24:04.088 --> 00:24:06.123
- You invest.
- 00:24:06.123 --> 00:24:06.891
- If it's going to fall, you know,
- 00:24:06.891 --> 00:24:08.158
- And you have that kind of power that is evil in capitalism.
- 00:24:08.158 --> 00:24:11.662
- So there is areas capitalism can be corrupt.
- 00:24:11.662 --> 00:24:14.198
- And when somebody is successful in business or in life,
- 00:24:14.198 --> 00:24:17.835
- If you don't share it
- 00:24:17.835 --> 00:24:19.103
- Going down, you wipe out the middle class.
- 00:24:19.103 --> 00:24:22.439
- So capitalism has corrupt.
- 00:24:22.439 --> 00:24:23.807
- So we chew on capitalism
- 00:24:23.807 --> 00:24:26.744
- And we spent all the bums out to exploit it.
- 00:24:26.744 --> 00:24:30.581
- Right?
- 00:24:30.581 --> 00:24:35.953
- Let's chew on the church.
- 00:24:36.520 --> 00:24:39.390
- Did you know most of what goes by
- 00:24:40.124 --> 00:24:42.726
- Church in america today?
- 00:24:42.726 --> 00:24:45.963
- I would not say is not church.
- 00:24:46.564 --> 00:24:49.567
- They become three fourths totally woke
- 00:24:50.401 --> 00:24:54.204
- In every moral question you didn't deal with.
- 00:24:54.204 --> 00:24:58.008
- And even now, when the bottom is falling out of america,
- 00:24:58.008 --> 00:25:01.645
- Obviously they're still silent and executing
- 00:25:01.645 --> 00:25:05.349
- The book of leviticus.
- 00:25:05.349 --> 00:25:08.385
- This is what's problem
- 00:25:08.385 --> 00:25:09.520
- With the church.
- 00:25:09.520 --> 00:25:12.222
- Now we wonder
- 00:25:12.222 --> 00:25:15.159
- What in the world do we do?
- 00:25:15.159 --> 00:25:17.928
- First of all, we stay tied to the truth of
- 00:25:17.928 --> 00:25:20.864
- God's eternal, infallible, inerrant word.
- 00:25:20.864 --> 00:25:24.034
- Number one,
- 00:25:24.034 --> 00:25:26.170
- You cut loose your opinion.
- 00:25:26.170 --> 00:25:28.439
- As good as my opinion, your idea is as good as mine.
- 00:25:28.439 --> 00:25:31.809
- If we choose their on the church,
- 00:25:31.809 --> 00:25:35.079
- We see that the church has a chance
- 00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:38.682
- Today.
- 00:25:38.682 --> 00:25:41.685
- To make a difference,
- 00:25:41.685 --> 00:25:44.088
- A radical difference in this day and age.
- 00:25:44.088 --> 00:25:47.224
- It will stand up for god in christ and live out that truth.
- 00:25:47.224 --> 00:25:51.261
- Jesus said, i came here to witness to the truth,
- 00:25:51.261 --> 00:25:56.367
- And we take that truth and live it out.
- 00:25:56.367 --> 00:25:58.836
- And all of a sudden we see light
- 00:25:58.836 --> 00:26:01.805
- Coming on in the darkness.
- 00:26:01.805 --> 00:26:06.977
- Marriages today face more pressures than ever.
- 00:26:07.878 --> 00:26:11.015
- Many couples live
- 00:26:11.015 --> 00:26:12.483
- With stress, disappointment, distance and discouragement,
- 00:26:12.483 --> 00:26:16.320
- Wondering if the joy they want shared can ever return.
- 00:26:16.320 --> 00:26:20.257
- But god's design for marriage has not changed.
- 00:26:20.257 --> 00:26:23.861
