The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Wall Street | July 6, 2026
  • And when we the
  • 00:00:01.157 --> 00:00:02.826
  • People, if my people who are called by my
  • 00:00:02.826 --> 00:00:06.629
  • Name, that's god fearing people will humble themselves
  • 00:00:06.629 --> 00:00:10.467
  • And pray and seek my face, i will forgive their sins.
  • 00:00:10.467 --> 00:00:15.638
  • I will hear from heaven
  • 00:00:16.139 --> 00:00:18.775
  • And i will heal their land, heal their brokenness.
  • 00:00:18.775 --> 00:00:24.347
  • And that's our prayer as americans today.
  • 00:00:24.347 --> 00:00:48.004
  • Economy
  • 00:00:48.238 --> 00:00:49.038
  • Is a biblical word in the greek.
  • 00:00:49.038 --> 00:00:52.408
  • The word economy means to set your house in order.
  • 00:00:52.408 --> 00:00:56.513
  • It means to handle your money and your property
  • 00:00:56.513 --> 00:00:59.883
  • And your wealth in an orderly, systematic
  • 00:00:59.883 --> 00:01:03.586
  • Fashion economy.
  • 00:01:03.586 --> 00:01:07.023
  • And therefore, it is highly appropriate
  • 00:01:07.023 --> 00:01:10.960
  • That we in the church deal with situations
  • 00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:15.565
  • Where morality is involved
  • 00:01:16.132 --> 00:01:18.401
  • As far as handling the economy of our land.
  • 00:01:18.401 --> 00:01:23.740
  • And so we know that
  • 00:01:24.207 --> 00:01:26.109
  • We as americans, we use
  • 00:01:26.109 --> 00:01:29.345
  • And employ a system we call capitalism
  • 00:01:29.345 --> 00:01:33.983
  • A free market.
  • 00:01:34.317 --> 00:01:37.387
  • And my thesis is this any economic system?
  • 00:01:37.387 --> 00:01:44.160
  • That is not based on a worldview
  • 00:01:44.861 --> 00:01:49.499
  • Is broken,
  • 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.901
  • And the people will suffer sooner or later.
  • 00:01:51.901 --> 00:01:56.506
  • But part of a biblical worldview is there is law,
  • 00:01:56.506 --> 00:02:00.543
  • There is order and the principle of the bible.
  • 00:02:00.543 --> 00:02:04.180
  • Thou shalt not kill.
  • 00:02:04.180 --> 00:02:05.415
  • Thou shalt not steal.
  • 00:02:05.415 --> 00:02:06.916
  • Thy shalt not bear false witness.
  • 00:02:06.916 --> 00:02:09.552
  • Thy shall not commit adultery.
  • 00:02:09.552 --> 00:02:11.154
  • The basic principles of an orderly society, which is
  • 00:02:11.154 --> 00:02:14.691
  • Which is a biblical worldview, must be down.
  • 00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:18.628
  • Or economy, whatever the economy might be,
  • 00:02:19.495 --> 00:02:22.198
  • Will be broken and the people will suffer.
  • 00:02:22.198 --> 00:02:25.868
  • Sooner or later, you have to have that given
  • 00:02:25.868 --> 00:02:29.372
  • In a biblical worldview.
  • 00:02:29.372 --> 00:02:31.741
  • We see that biblical worldview is the basis upon
  • 00:02:31.741 --> 00:02:34.877
  • Which we have our constitution.
  • 00:02:34.877 --> 00:02:38.047
  • We the people.
  • 00:02:38.381 --> 00:02:39.382
  • To the people.
  • 00:02:39.382 --> 00:02:41.184
  • The constitution is a contract that the government has
  • 00:02:41.184 --> 00:02:44.854
  • Made with us, and we have made with the government.
  • 00:02:44.854 --> 00:02:47.624
  • This is how we operate in a democracy,
  • 00:02:47.624 --> 00:02:51.628
  • In a free enterprise, in a system of capitalism.
  • 00:02:51.628 --> 00:02:55.498
  • And so we say, well, what does the bible say about this?
  • 00:02:55.498 --> 00:02:59.102
  • This sounds so political.
  • 00:02:59.102 --> 00:03:00.737
  • It sounds so governmental.
  • 00:03:00.737 --> 00:03:02.705
  • Let me tell you something. ladies and gentlemen,
  • 00:03:02.705 --> 00:03:05.875
  • If we in the christian church
  • 00:03:06.509 --> 00:03:09.412
  • Do not speak on every moral question that come
  • 00:03:09.412 --> 00:03:13.049
  • Before people, we are pundits and we are not prophets.
  • 00:03:13.049 --> 00:03:17.854
  • And this book
  • 00:03:18.221 --> 00:03:20.623
  • Clearly gives us insight in such a time as this.
  • 00:03:20.623 --> 00:03:24.827
  • Let's listen.
  • 00:03:24.827 --> 00:03:26.029
  • And there are many illustration of this at what jesus said
  • 00:03:26.029 --> 00:03:29.265
  • In matthew chapter number 25.
  • 00:03:29.265 --> 00:03:35.004
  • Verse 14.
  • 00:03:35.305 --> 00:03:36.306
  • Following again,
  • 00:03:36.306 --> 00:03:38.408
  • The kingdom of heaven can be illustrated by the story
  • 00:03:38.408 --> 00:03:41.477
  • Of a man going into another country
  • 00:03:41.477 --> 00:03:45.648
  • Who called together his servants and loaned them
  • 00:03:45.648 --> 00:03:48.785
  • Money to invest for him while he was gone.
  • 00:03:48.785 --> 00:03:52.422
  • This is jesus talking.
  • 00:03:52.422 --> 00:03:53.956
  • Notice red letter
  • 00:03:53.956 --> 00:03:56.926
  • He gave 5000 to 1,
  • 00:03:56.926 --> 00:04:00.296
  • 2000 to another, and a thousand to the last.
  • 00:04:00.296 --> 00:04:03.933
  • Dividing it in proportion to their abilities.
  • 00:04:03.933 --> 00:04:08.371
  • And then left on his long trip.
  • 00:04:08.371 --> 00:04:11.908
  • The man who received the 5000 begin immediately
  • 00:04:11.908 --> 00:04:14.944
  • To buy and sell with it, and soon earned another 5000.
  • 00:04:14.944 --> 00:04:19.515
  • The man with the 2000
  • 00:04:19.515 --> 00:04:20.917
  • Went right to work two and soon earned another 2000.
  • 00:04:20.917 --> 00:04:24.854
  • Sound like capitalism to me?
  • 00:04:24.854 --> 00:04:26.356
  • What does it sound like to you?
  • 00:04:26.356 --> 00:04:28.358
  • But the man who received
  • 00:04:28.891 --> 00:04:30.226
  • The 1000 dug a hole in the ground
  • 00:04:30.226 --> 00:04:32.995
  • And hid the money for safekeeping.
  • 00:04:32.995 --> 00:04:36.199
  • After a long time, their master returned from his trip
  • 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.469
  • And called them to him to account for his money.
  • 00:04:39.469 --> 00:04:43.106
  • The man to whom he entrusted 5000 brought him
  • 00:04:43.106 --> 00:04:46.142
  • 10,000, and his master praised him for good work.
  • 00:04:46.142 --> 00:04:50.313
  • You have been faithful in handling the small amount,
  • 00:04:50.313 --> 00:04:52.849
  • He told him.
  • 00:04:52.849 --> 00:04:53.950
  • But now i will give you many more responsibilities.
  • 00:04:53.950 --> 00:04:57.553
  • Begin the joyous task i have assigned to you.
  • 00:04:57.553 --> 00:05:02.258
  • Next came the man who received 2000 with the report.
  • 00:05:02.258 --> 00:05:05.695
  • Sir, you gave me 2000 to
  • 00:05:05.695 --> 00:05:08.664
  • Use and i have doubled it.
  • 00:05:08.664 --> 00:05:11.567
  • Good work, said his master.
  • 00:05:12.168 --> 00:05:13.770
  • You are a good and faithful servant.
  • 00:05:13.770 --> 00:05:15.571
  • You have been faithful
  • 00:05:15.571 --> 00:05:16.706
  • Over this small about so now i will give you much more.
  • 00:05:16.706 --> 00:05:19.809
  • He made both of these individuals his partners.
  • 00:05:19.809 --> 00:05:23.880
  • Then the
  • 00:05:24.147 --> 00:05:24.647
  • Man with the 1000
  • 00:05:24.647 --> 00:05:25.948
  • Came and said, sir, i knew you were a hard man, and
  • 00:05:25.948 --> 00:05:30.486
  • I was afraid you would rob me of what i earned.
  • 00:05:30.486 --> 00:05:34.190
  • Totally false.
  • 00:05:34.190 --> 00:05:36.092
  • So i hid your money in the earth.
  • 00:05:36.092 --> 00:05:38.127
  • And here it is.
  • 00:05:38.127 --> 00:05:39.996
  • And his master replied,
  • 00:05:39.996 --> 00:05:42.398
  • Wicked man, lazy slave.
  • 00:05:42.398 --> 00:05:45.435
  • Since you knew that i demanded demand your profit.
  • 00:05:45.435 --> 00:05:49.772
  • You should at least have put it in the bank,
  • 00:05:49.772 --> 00:05:52.408
  • So that i would have some interest.
  • 00:05:52.408 --> 00:05:55.344
  • Take the money from this man.
  • 00:05:55.344 --> 00:05:57.113
  • Give it to the man with 10,000.
  • 00:05:57.113 --> 00:05:59.148
  • For the man who uses well what he has given
  • 00:05:59.148 --> 00:06:02.819
  • Shall be given more, and he shall have abundance.
  • 00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:06.556
  • But from the man who is unfaithful, even what
  • 00:06:06.556 --> 00:06:09.659
  • Little responsibility he has shall be taken from him.
  • 00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:13.663
  • Throw the useless servant out into outer darkness.
  • 00:06:13.663 --> 00:06:17.733
  • There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
  • 00:06:17.733 --> 00:06:25.007
  • Capitalism.
  • 00:06:25.341 --> 00:06:28.177
  • There's a lot
  • 00:06:28.544 --> 00:06:29.345
  • Of myths about capitalism,
  • 00:06:29.345 --> 00:06:32.415
  • And we need to deal with those myths.
  • 00:06:33.249 --> 00:06:37.687
  • Before we get down to the truth of what a free market
  • 00:06:37.687 --> 00:06:41.190
  • And capitalism is all about.
  • 00:06:41.190 --> 00:06:45.995
  • So we have to begin
  • 00:06:46.462 --> 00:06:49.499
  • With understanding these myths and explode them.
  • 00:06:49.499 --> 00:06:53.102
  • Destroy them.
  • 00:06:53.102 --> 00:06:54.303
  • First, there's the pious myth about capitalism.
  • 00:06:54.303 --> 00:06:58.641
  • The pious myth.
  • 00:06:59.008 --> 00:06:59.909
  • It says, well, it's just inherently wrong
  • 00:06:59.909 --> 00:07:02.945
  • For somebody to have more than anybody else.
  • 00:07:03.846 --> 00:07:08.184
  • But that story jesus told is a story of capitalism.
  • 00:07:08.184 --> 00:07:12.588
  • Is it not a socialist?
  • 00:07:12.588 --> 00:07:15.291
  • If those three men had been socialists,
  • 00:07:15.291 --> 00:07:17.627
  • When the man came back from an accounting,
  • 00:07:17.627 --> 00:07:19.829
  • He would have said, i'll tell you what let's do.
  • 00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:22.632
  • We started off with 8000 together and we made 15,000.
  • 00:07:22.632 --> 00:07:26.802
  • Let's just tell him the three of us
  • 00:07:26.802 --> 00:07:28.137
  • Have made 15,000.
  • 00:07:28.137 --> 00:07:29.505
  • Let him divide among the three of us
  • 00:07:29.505 --> 00:07:32.508
  • That socialism.
  • 00:07:32.875 --> 00:07:34.777
  • That's not capitalism.
  • 00:07:34.777 --> 00:07:37.113
  • Jesus is talking about you and i
  • 00:07:37.113 --> 00:07:39.782
  • Using what we have,
  • 00:07:39.782 --> 00:07:42.618
  • Whether it's one gift, two gifts, ten gifts.
  • 00:07:42.618 --> 00:07:47.089
  • When we start with where we are, god multiplies
  • 00:07:47.089 --> 00:07:52.261
  • The giftedness that we have in every single area of life
  • 00:07:52.261 --> 00:07:56.766
  • That we need to understand.
  • 00:07:57.366 --> 00:08:00.169
  • Because there's a pious thing
  • 00:08:00.169 --> 00:08:02.838
  • That about capitalism we need to explode.
  • 00:08:02.838 --> 00:08:06.309
  • Because in some people see in the pious
  • 00:08:06.309 --> 00:08:10.846
  • Good intentions,
  • 00:08:10.846 --> 00:08:12.048
  • I'm going to do something, i'm going to help somebody here.
  • 00:08:12.048 --> 00:08:14.550
  • But it has what we call unexpected,
  • 00:08:14.550 --> 00:08:18.754
  • Unintended consequences.
  • 00:08:19.288 --> 00:08:21.757
  • Okay.
  • 00:08:21.757 --> 00:08:23.092
  • I want to do good here, but my doing good and my high
  • 00:08:23.092 --> 00:08:26.662
  • Moral principles many times have unintended consequences.
  • 00:08:26.662 --> 00:08:31.000
  • In 1992,
  • 00:08:31.267 --> 00:08:34.637
  • Some members of congress said that you and i,
  • 00:08:34.637 --> 00:08:37.773
  • We are buying clothes
  • 00:08:38.274 --> 00:08:40.176
  • That are made in eastern countries,
  • 00:08:40.176 --> 00:08:44.547
  • And there are sweatshops there in which children work.
  • 00:08:44.547 --> 00:08:49.185
  • And therefore they passed a law that we cannot buy
  • 00:08:49.185 --> 00:08:52.855
  • Goods or shoes
  • 00:08:52.855 --> 00:08:54.056
  • That were made by child labor in sweatshops
  • 00:08:54.056 --> 00:08:57.193
  • In eastern companies.
  • 00:08:57.193 --> 00:08:58.394
  • If we had been in the congress, all of us would have voted.
  • 00:08:58.394 --> 00:09:01.297
  • I'm certainly not for child labor.
  • 00:09:01.297 --> 00:09:03.299
  • We shouldn't have things on our back.
  • 00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:05.134
  • We shouldn't sell america that was made by by children
  • 00:09:05.134 --> 00:09:08.871
  • Working in unpleasant conditions there
  • 00:09:08.871 --> 00:09:11.707
  • In the eastern world, in third world countries, probably
  • 00:09:11.707 --> 00:09:14.910
  • All of us would have voted for that, wouldn't we?
  • 00:09:14.910 --> 00:09:17.680
  • I mean, who can be against that?
  • 00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:20.449
  • But when the
  • 00:09:20.783 --> 00:09:21.717
  • Spotlight was turned off,
  • 00:09:21.717 --> 00:09:24.453
  • The law of unintended unintended consequences
  • 00:09:24.453 --> 00:09:28.024
  • Set in, though, we were very pious,
  • 00:09:28.024 --> 00:09:30.860
  • Saying we're not going to buy goods or made by children
  • 00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:33.562
  • In sweatshops way in the far east.
  • 00:09:33.562 --> 00:09:36.399
  • But unicef came in and did a study,
  • 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.901
  • And two years later they discovered over 35 children.
  • 00:09:38.901 --> 00:09:42.638
  • By the way, why were those children in those sweatshops?
  • 00:09:42.638 --> 00:09:45.775
  • Upgrade their ipods,
  • 00:09:46.242 --> 00:09:49.178
  • Get a tv set for their room?
  • 00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:52.782
  • No, they were there to stay alive.
  • 00:09:52.782 --> 00:09:55.084
  • And so they would not starve
  • 00:09:55.084 --> 00:09:56.552
  • To death with members of their family.
  • 00:09:56.552 --> 00:09:58.421
  • That's why they were in those sweatshops.
  • 00:09:58.421 --> 00:10:00.523
  • And when they no longer could work fair,
  • 00:10:00.523 --> 00:10:02.992
  • They had to go out and work in in rock quarries.
  • 00:10:02.992 --> 00:10:06.228
  • It is exceedingly dangerous.
  • 00:10:06.228 --> 00:10:08.097
  • And many of them were sold
  • 00:10:08.097 --> 00:10:09.632
  • Into child prostitution over 35,000 by count.
  • 00:10:09.632 --> 00:10:14.537
  • You see the law
  • 00:10:14.904 --> 00:10:16.105
  • Of unintended consequences.
  • 00:10:16.105 --> 00:10:18.874
  • And many times we move something in the economic
  • 00:10:18.874 --> 00:10:22.344
  • Sphere and it seems good and fine and moral and pious,
  • 00:10:22.344 --> 00:10:26.315
  • But it has that law of unintended consequences
  • 00:10:26.315 --> 00:10:30.586
  • Springs into action way over here.
  • 00:10:30.586 --> 00:10:33.556
  • Now let's look at the two
  • 00:10:34.123 --> 00:10:36.025
  • Great economic crisis that we're familiar with.
  • 00:10:36.025 --> 00:10:39.628
  • First is the great depression.
  • 00:10:39.628 --> 00:10:42.465
  • We've heard about that.
  • 00:10:42.465 --> 00:10:43.899
  • Some few here live through it.
  • 00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:46.469
  • Some of us remember our parents talking about it.
  • 00:10:46.469 --> 00:10:49.638
  • It happened in 1929.
  • 00:10:49.638 --> 00:10:51.640
  • Now follow me carefully.
  • 00:10:51.640 --> 00:10:55.044
  • The problem
  • 00:10:55.377 --> 00:10:56.312
  • In 1929 was a lack of liquidity.
  • 00:10:56.312 --> 00:10:59.582
  • The money was squeezed.
  • 00:10:59.582 --> 00:11:01.083
  • There were no money available in 1929.
  • 00:11:01.083 --> 00:11:03.986
  • It may have been a good idea
  • 00:11:03.986 --> 00:11:05.387
  • For the government to do some bailout program,
  • 00:11:05.387 --> 00:11:07.556
  • Because money needed to be brought into circulation.
  • 00:11:07.556 --> 00:11:10.359
  • They did the very opposite. in 1921.
  • 00:11:10.359 --> 00:11:12.862
  • They took money out of circulation.
  • 00:11:12.862 --> 00:11:14.663
  • The fed did not print money in 2008.
  • 00:11:14.663 --> 00:11:17.933
  • The problem was not a lack of money.
  • 00:11:17.933 --> 00:11:19.869
  • The problem was not a lack of liquidity.
  • 00:11:19.869 --> 00:11:21.804
  • The problem was debt.
  • 00:11:21.804 --> 00:11:23.906
  • And our old wise leaders
  • 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.243
  • From bush now to obama
  • 00:11:27.710 --> 00:11:29.879
  • Like it was from hoover or republican to roosevelt,
  • 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.948
  • A democrat, bush or republican to obama to a democrat.
  • 00:11:32.948 --> 00:11:37.153
  • They made the same mistake.
  • 00:11:37.153 --> 00:11:38.754
  • And today they're treating the problem in 2008
  • 00:11:38.754 --> 00:11:41.857
  • As if it were the same problem in 1929, 1929,
  • 00:11:41.857 --> 00:11:46.061
  • It was liquidity.
  • 00:11:46.061 --> 00:11:47.096
  • And now it is debt different.
  • 00:11:47.096 --> 00:11:51.500
  • And i do not believe anybody
  • 00:11:52.101 --> 00:11:54.303
  • Can believe in normal kind of common sense economics,
  • 00:11:54.303 --> 00:11:58.707
  • That we can come out by continually
  • 00:11:58.707 --> 00:12:01.076
  • Step on the accelerator
  • 00:12:01.076 --> 00:12:02.545
  • When it's already stuck to the floor.
  • 00:12:02.545 --> 00:12:07.216
  • So let's see
  • 00:12:07.550 --> 00:12:08.884
  • Exactly how we got in this mess.
  • 00:12:08.884 --> 00:12:11.854
  • I want you to look on the screens, if you would.
  • 00:12:11.854 --> 00:12:14.924
  • This is not in order of the importance,
  • 00:12:14.924 --> 00:12:17.026
  • But this covers the basic entities.
  • 00:12:17.026 --> 00:12:19.495
  • And you can pick out the one you think
  • 00:12:19.495 --> 00:12:21.230
  • Was the most disastrous.
  • 00:12:21.230 --> 00:12:22.398
  • Number one, artificially suppressed interest rates.
  • 00:12:22.398 --> 00:12:26.235
  • Pressured by congress to make risk loans to low
  • 00:12:27.236 --> 00:12:30.139
  • Income borrowers, irresponsible regulators,
  • 00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:34.643
  • Compromised credit rating agencies,
  • 00:12:34.643 --> 00:12:38.514
  • Flawed risk mitigation device
  • 00:12:39.148 --> 00:12:42.418
  • A giant pool of foreign capital seeking investment.
  • 00:12:42.418 --> 00:12:45.387
  • Easy money available gluttonous consumers.
  • 00:12:45.387 --> 00:12:48.924
  • That's us greedy commercial and investment bankers
  • 00:12:48.924 --> 00:12:52.661
  • In search of easy fixed income.
  • 00:12:52.661 --> 00:12:55.431
  • Now that's how we got here in this mess,
  • 00:12:56.298 --> 00:12:59.935
  • Mainly perpetuated and begun by the federal government.
  • 00:12:59.935 --> 00:13:03.806
  • And wall street is ready to move in the gap anytime 24 over
  • 00:13:03.806 --> 00:13:07.877
  • Seven to take advantage of those opportunities.
  • 00:13:07.877 --> 00:13:11.981
  • As we approach our fiscal
  • 00:13:12.548 --> 00:13:14.216
  • Year end on july the 31st.
  • 00:13:14.216 --> 00:13:17.052
  • We're also approaching a historic milestone.
  • 00:13:17.052 --> 00:13:20.422
  • Think about it.
  • 00:13:20.789 --> 00:13:21.690
  • America's 250th anniversary.
  • 00:13:21.690 --> 00:13:25.928
  • And as we reflect on what built this nation
  • 00:13:25.928 --> 00:13:29.265
  • Faith, family and freedom,
  • 00:13:29.265 --> 00:13:32.134
  • Fellowship, joy, meaning, significance, a family
  • 00:13:32.134 --> 00:13:36.405
  • Of god living together under the red, white and blue.
  • 00:13:36.405 --> 00:13:39.508
  • As we live under the banner of america,
  • 00:13:39.508 --> 00:13:42.811
  • We also recognize something deeply wrong.
  • 00:13:42.811 --> 00:13:46.682
  • Biblical truth is being challenged.
  • 00:13:46.682 --> 00:13:49.785
  • Families are under pressure and faith is no longer
  • 00:13:49.785 --> 00:13:53.188
  • At the center of our culture.
  • 00:13:53.188 --> 00:13:55.891
  • Now it's our turn.
  • 00:13:55.891 --> 00:13:57.893
  • Our turn to stand for what matters most.
  • 00:13:57.893 --> 00:14:01.030
  • Listen, when you request this much resource,
  • 00:14:01.030 --> 00:14:04.566
  • You're helping us proclaim the truth of god's word,
  • 00:14:04.566 --> 00:14:07.770
  • Strengthen families,
  • 00:14:07.770 --> 00:14:08.771
  • And advance faith across this great nation.
  • 00:14:08.771 --> 00:14:11.840
  • As i thank you, i would love to send you a signed
  • 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.811
  • Copy of my book, healing broken america,
  • 00:14:15.811 --> 00:14:19.481
  • A book that i have written to help us understand
  • 00:14:19.481 --> 00:14:22.551
  • And to navigate our way through all the challenges
  • 00:14:22.551 --> 00:14:26.355
  • Of the 21st century in our land as we come to our fiscal
  • 00:14:26.355 --> 00:14:30.693
  • Year end.
  • 00:14:30.693 --> 00:14:31.760
  • I'm asking you to step forward in a meaningful way.
  • 00:14:31.760 --> 00:14:34.830
  • Consider a gift of $250,
  • 00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:38.767
  • Or really ten others, to give $25 a dollar
  • 00:14:38.767 --> 00:14:42.438
  • For every year of our nation's existence.
  • 00:14:42.438 --> 00:14:45.574
  • We give that to the winning walk so that it can continue
  • 00:14:45.574 --> 00:14:49.144
  • To be broadcast around the world.
  • 00:14:49.144 --> 00:14:52.414
  • Your support helps us bring biblical truth,
  • 00:14:52.414 --> 00:14:55.384
  • Encouragement, and meaning across america.
  • 00:14:55.384 --> 00:14:58.921
  • So let's stand together and believe god for renewal
  • 00:14:58.921 --> 00:15:01.957
  • And revival in our great nation.
  • 00:15:01.957 --> 00:15:05.694
  • For if america would catch far for christ,
  • 00:15:05.694 --> 00:15:08.330
  • It would touch the entire world.
  • 00:15:08.330 --> 00:15:10.866
  • Thank you.
  • 00:15:10.866 --> 00:15:12.534
  • Making this possible with your participation
  • 00:15:12.534 --> 00:15:15.571
  • In prayer and gifts to the winning walk.
  • 00:15:15.571 --> 00:15:27.850
  • When they talk about bailing out
  • 00:15:28.550 --> 00:15:30.452
  • Banks and bailing out people and too big to fail.
  • 00:15:30.452 --> 00:15:33.355
  • That's not the government money, ladies and gentlemen.
  • 00:15:33.355 --> 00:15:35.991
  • That's the taxes they've withheld
  • 00:15:35.991 --> 00:15:38.027
  • From your income and my income through these years.
  • 00:15:38.027 --> 00:15:41.463
  • Don't forget that.
  • 00:15:41.463 --> 00:15:47.336
  • So we've exploded the myth.
  • 00:15:47.936 --> 00:15:50.672
  • The myth that is here
  • 00:15:51.173 --> 00:15:54.109
  • About piety.
  • 00:15:54.109 --> 00:15:55.244
  • I want to do good, but it ended up evil.
  • 00:15:55.244 --> 00:15:57.479
  • And then there is the greed myth.
  • 00:15:57.479 --> 00:16:00.249
  • The idea that greed is synonymous with capitalism.
  • 00:16:01.250 --> 00:16:05.187
  • And it is not
  • 00:16:05.187 --> 00:16:08.257
  • An ran.
  • 00:16:08.490 --> 00:16:09.158
  • Who wrote atlas shrugged?
  • 00:16:09.158 --> 00:16:11.627
  • She was an atheist.
  • 00:16:11.627 --> 00:16:13.028
  • She said,
  • 00:16:13.028 --> 00:16:14.029
  • You can't be a capitalist and be a christian
  • 00:16:14.029 --> 00:16:15.531
  • Because christianity is altruistic.
  • 00:16:15.531 --> 00:16:18.000
  • It is giving, and capitalism is all about getting.
  • 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.569
  • She's absolutely wrong about that.
  • 00:16:20.569 --> 00:16:23.572
  • Totally wrong about that.
  • 00:16:23.572 --> 00:16:25.974
  • So we have to understand there
  • 00:16:25.974 --> 00:16:28.644
  • Is this greed myth that we are greedy.
  • 00:16:28.644 --> 00:16:31.680
  • We don't see that in the parable
  • 00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:33.916
  • That jesus told about.
  • 00:16:33.916 --> 00:16:35.951
  • They were honored when they used the gifts that they had.
  • 00:16:35.951 --> 00:16:39.121
  • If the man who had been given one talent, $1,000 had used it,
  • 00:16:39.121 --> 00:16:44.193
  • I'll tell you, it had been a
  • 00:16:44.793 --> 00:16:45.928
  • Different kind of situation there.
  • 00:16:45.928 --> 00:16:47.596
  • God wants us to use what we have.
  • 00:16:47.596 --> 00:16:50.032
  • It doesn't make any difference what you have or i have.
  • 00:16:50.032 --> 00:16:53.635
  • We use opportunity.
  • 00:16:53.635 --> 00:16:55.270
  • We use talents. we use gifts.
  • 00:16:55.270 --> 00:16:58.674
  • If i have the ability to sing, i need to sing.
  • 00:16:58.674 --> 00:17:01.210
  • If i have the ability to do whatever, i need to use it.
  • 00:17:01.210 --> 00:17:04.246
  • That's the basic giving principle.
  • 00:17:04.246 --> 00:17:06.281
  • So we have to do away with the pious,
  • 00:17:06.281 --> 00:17:10.085
  • Pious myth about capitalism.
  • 00:17:10.686 --> 00:17:13.856
  • Oh, because the law of unintended consequences
  • 00:17:13.856 --> 00:17:17.593
  • Set in so many times when we deviate from it,
  • 00:17:17.593 --> 00:17:21.163
  • We have to do with a myth about greed, capitalism,
  • 00:17:21.163 --> 00:17:25.033
  • All about greed. it is not.
  • 00:17:25.033 --> 00:17:28.036
  • It is not.
  • 00:17:28.036 --> 00:17:29.471
  • And then there is the myth about the win
  • 00:17:29.471 --> 00:17:32.241
  • Lose attitude of capitalism.
  • 00:17:32.241 --> 00:17:35.010
  • Now the communists and the socialists have taught us this.
  • 00:17:35.010 --> 00:17:38.947
  • If i had up here a pecan pie.
  • 00:17:38.947 --> 00:17:41.316
  • I love pecan pie.
  • 00:17:41.316 --> 00:17:43.552
  • And i'm going to
  • 00:17:43.952 --> 00:17:45.187
  • Divide this pecan with everybody in the room.
  • 00:17:45.187 --> 00:17:48.090
  • I'm going to slice it up
  • 00:17:48.090 --> 00:17:49.525
  • Where everybody has the same same size of pie.
  • 00:17:49.525 --> 00:17:53.228
  • But i like the pie
  • 00:17:53.228 --> 00:17:55.130
  • So much, i'm cutting out a bigger slice for me.
  • 00:17:55.130 --> 00:17:58.834
  • And if i cut out a bigger slice for me,
  • 00:17:58.834 --> 00:18:01.837
  • Everybody here is going to get a smaller, smaller piece.
  • 00:18:01.837 --> 00:18:05.174
  • You see, i'm going to win more and you're going to get less.
  • 00:18:05.174 --> 00:18:10.012
  • That's socialism.
  • 00:18:10.445 --> 00:18:13.415
  • Somebody succeeds,
  • 00:18:13.415 --> 00:18:15.784
  • Somebody fails, somebody gets money.
  • 00:18:15.784 --> 00:18:18.887
  • Somebody loses money.
  • 00:18:18.887 --> 00:18:20.756
  • That's their theory, right?
  • 00:18:20.756 --> 00:18:22.357
  • When lose, capitalism is win win.
  • 00:18:22.357 --> 00:18:26.962
  • A man who styled my hair is present here
  • 00:18:26.962 --> 00:18:29.398
  • Today for 25, almost 30 years.
  • 00:18:29.398 --> 00:18:32.968
  • And if i go see him and i give him $20 for a haircut,
  • 00:18:32.968 --> 00:18:38.273
  • He uses skill.
  • 00:18:38.607 --> 00:18:39.808
  • He cuts my hair
  • 00:18:39.808 --> 00:18:42.277
  • And i look better.
  • 00:18:42.277 --> 00:18:45.447
  • He gets $20 for his skill and for his services.
  • 00:18:46.448 --> 00:18:50.519
  • And i get to look better.
  • 00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:52.054
  • Did anybody lose? i won.
  • 00:18:52.054 --> 00:18:54.056
  • I got a haircut.
  • 00:18:54.056 --> 00:18:55.791
  • He won.
  • 00:18:55.791 --> 00:18:56.792
  • He got the money for the skill.
  • 00:18:56.792 --> 00:18:58.427
  • That talent. he has to make me look good.
  • 00:18:58.427 --> 00:19:00.362
  • That's a win win situation.
  • 00:19:00.362 --> 00:19:02.397
  • That is capitalism in action in miniature.
  • 00:19:02.397 --> 00:19:06.134
  • Because the idea that, well, here's an economic system,
  • 00:19:06.134 --> 00:19:09.671
  • It has a one size pie economic system.
  • 00:19:09.671 --> 00:19:13.108
  • It grows larger and larger and larger.
  • 00:19:13.108 --> 00:19:15.677
  • That's the spirit of capitalism.
  • 00:19:15.677 --> 00:19:17.679
  • And if someone gets a big piece here, the rest of us
  • 00:19:17.679 --> 00:19:20.649
  • Get other big pieces in a market,
  • 00:19:20.649 --> 00:19:22.985
  • In a free enterprise system that is growing.
  • 00:19:22.985 --> 00:19:25.454
  • That is capitalism.
  • 00:19:25.454 --> 00:19:26.922
  • And that is what america has been about economically
  • 00:19:26.922 --> 00:19:30.325
  • Since our foundation under the constitution.
  • 00:19:30.325 --> 00:19:34.196
  • You see it.
  • 00:19:34.529 --> 00:19:36.331
  • It's not win lose.
  • 00:19:36.331 --> 00:19:37.532
  • It is when, when?
  • 00:19:37.532 --> 00:19:40.869
  • Now, a biblical worldview.
  • 00:19:41.436 --> 00:19:45.507
  • How do we get there?
  • 00:19:45.974 --> 00:19:48.076
  • First of all, i think we have to deal
  • 00:19:48.076 --> 00:19:50.545
  • With the federal government.
  • 00:19:50.545 --> 00:19:52.114
  • We the people need to get back.
  • 00:19:52.114 --> 00:19:56.918
  • Get back so
  • 00:19:57.252 --> 00:19:59.187
  • Much, so much that has been taken from us
  • 00:19:59.187 --> 00:20:02.324
  • Slowly by bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger government,
  • 00:20:02.324 --> 00:20:06.328
  • At least since 1968.
  • 00:20:06.328 --> 00:20:09.898
  • Now some of us have the idea that
  • 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:13.535
  • Self-interest is selfishness.
  • 00:20:14.169 --> 00:20:16.371
  • That's not true.
  • 00:20:16.371 --> 00:20:17.706
  • I got this morning.
  • 00:20:17.706 --> 00:20:18.874
  • I shaved, took a shower, comb my hair, brush my teeth.
  • 00:20:18.874 --> 00:20:22.744
  • Self-interest, right?
  • 00:20:22.744 --> 00:20:25.013
  • Doesn't mean i'm selfish.
  • 00:20:25.013 --> 00:20:27.249
  • No. the golden rule.
  • 00:20:27.249 --> 00:20:28.517
  • Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you.
  • 00:20:28.517 --> 00:20:30.686
  • What does this mean? it means as.
  • 00:20:30.686 --> 00:20:32.788
  • As i would do to myself that i should do to you.
  • 00:20:32.788 --> 00:20:35.691
  • I want understanding, i want forgiveness,
  • 00:20:35.691 --> 00:20:37.759
  • I want sympathy, i want encouragement.
  • 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.895
  • That's how i'm to react to you.
  • 00:20:39.895 --> 00:20:41.830
  • In other words, the golden rule says what i need.
  • 00:20:41.830 --> 00:20:44.666
  • That is what i give.
  • 00:20:44.666 --> 00:20:46.201
  • If i need somebody to listen to
  • 00:20:46.201 --> 00:20:47.869
  • Me, i need to listen to others.
  • 00:20:47.869 --> 00:20:49.638
  • And it comes back, it comes back.
  • 00:20:49.638 --> 00:20:52.374
  • That's the golden rule in action.
  • 00:20:52.374 --> 00:20:54.810
  • So how are we to love other?
  • 00:20:55.410 --> 00:20:58.280
  • We love others if we love ourselves,
  • 00:20:58.280 --> 00:21:00.148
  • If we don't
  • 00:21:00.148 --> 00:21:01.249
  • Have a high view of ourselves, how can we love others?
  • 00:21:01.249 --> 00:21:03.385
  • We can love only in the amount of love that we have received,
  • 00:21:03.385 --> 00:21:07.089
  • The amount of love we have given.
  • 00:21:07.089 --> 00:21:10.125
  • So self-interest is not selfishness.
  • 00:21:10.125 --> 00:21:13.929
  • Other people have the idea that big is bad,
  • 00:21:13.929 --> 00:21:17.966
  • Big is not bad, and big is not good.
  • 00:21:18.734 --> 00:21:23.071
  • Big can be bad and big can be good.
  • 00:21:23.071 --> 00:21:26.475
  • The idea that little is little is good.
  • 00:21:26.475 --> 00:21:30.212
  • Little can be good and little can be bad.
  • 00:21:30.212 --> 00:21:33.949
  • Size in the determining factor, we have to understand that
  • 00:21:33.949 --> 00:21:38.887
  • They can be bad big churches and good big churches.
  • 00:21:38.887 --> 00:21:43.959
  • They can be bad little churches and good little churches.
  • 00:21:43.959 --> 00:21:47.496
  • So we have to understand that.
  • 00:21:48.096 --> 00:21:49.564
  • But the idea that big is bad.
  • 00:21:49.564 --> 00:21:52.234
  • How many people you think are in the workforce
  • 00:21:52.234 --> 00:21:54.603
  • Of the united states?
  • 00:21:54.603 --> 00:21:55.771
  • I'll tell you, it's 130 million people in the workforce.
  • 00:21:55.771 --> 00:22:00.108
  • The united states,
  • 00:22:00.108 --> 00:22:01.910
  • 20 million of them are employed by the government.
  • 00:22:01.910 --> 00:22:04.346
  • This leaves 110 million left.
  • 00:22:04.346 --> 00:22:07.082
  • Of that 110 million.
  • 00:22:07.549 --> 00:22:09.451
  • Contrary to what you hear,
  • 00:22:09.451 --> 00:22:12.120
  • 55 million work in big business, big
  • 00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:15.157
  • Corporations, 55 million
  • 00:22:15.157 --> 00:22:16.958
  • Working little businesses and little corporation.
  • 00:22:16.958 --> 00:22:19.294
  • That's our workforce.
  • 00:22:19.294 --> 00:22:21.096
  • You say, well, big is bad.
  • 00:22:21.096 --> 00:22:22.330
  • Oh, no, it is the big corporation, big business.
  • 00:22:22.330 --> 00:22:25.534
  • So many times that spin off these little businesses
  • 00:22:25.534 --> 00:22:28.203
  • And they they they go out and they float out from it.
  • 00:22:28.203 --> 00:22:31.406
  • So big is not good and big is not bad.
  • 00:22:31.406 --> 00:22:33.508
  • Little is not bad and little is not good.
  • 00:22:33.508 --> 00:22:35.243
  • You see, this is our workforce and the idea boy
  • 00:22:35.243 --> 00:22:38.346
  • We got to get it.
  • 00:22:38.346 --> 00:22:39.347
  • Those big guys we want we want to tax all this.
  • 00:22:39.347 --> 00:22:41.917
  • The taxes come right back to the little people, to
  • 00:22:41.917 --> 00:22:44.953
  • We the people, you and me, every single time.
  • 00:22:44.953 --> 00:22:48.056
  • When are you done to stand that?
  • 00:22:48.757 --> 00:22:50.725
  • And if anything good is happening in this tsunami
  • 00:22:50.725 --> 00:22:54.696
  • Economic situation we're in is that we are
  • 00:22:54.696 --> 00:22:57.466
  • The people are waking up and begin to understand
  • 00:22:57.466 --> 00:23:00.368
  • The mess that our federal government has got us in.
  • 00:23:00.368 --> 00:23:03.672
  • It's affected everything in our society. now.
  • 00:23:03.672 --> 00:23:08.810
  • How do
  • 00:23:09.010 --> 00:23:10.078
  • We have a biblical lifestyle in the middle of this?
  • 00:23:10.078 --> 00:23:14.282
  • Look at your screen.
  • 00:23:14.282 --> 00:23:15.717
  • Biblical living means hard work,
  • 00:23:15.717 --> 00:23:18.753
  • Responsible decisions and behavior.
  • 00:23:19.554 --> 00:23:22.591
  • Not easy is believing them.
  • 00:23:22.591 --> 00:23:25.827
  • Scams are laziness.
  • 00:23:25.827 --> 00:23:28.463
  • Biblical living above all means
  • 00:23:28.463 --> 00:23:31.132
  • Following god's ways and principles.
  • 00:23:31.132 --> 00:23:34.369
  • It means restore personal responsibility and stewardship.
  • 00:23:34.369 --> 00:23:40.041
  • It means restore corporate responsibility.
  • 00:23:40.041 --> 00:23:44.012
  • Recover the biblical based principles
  • 00:23:44.012 --> 00:23:46.448
  • Of enlightened self-interest.
  • 00:23:46.448 --> 00:23:48.483
  • The golden rule.
  • 00:23:48.483 --> 00:23:49.885
  • It means eliminate government government policies
  • 00:23:49.885 --> 00:23:53.588
  • That encourage economic irresponsibility.
  • 00:23:53.588 --> 00:23:57.726
  • I would say to the government, you are to follow
  • 00:23:57.726 --> 00:24:00.896
  • The advice of smokey the bear.
  • 00:24:00.896 --> 00:24:03.765
  • Smokey says, you keep that fire contained,
  • 00:24:03.765 --> 00:24:07.669
  • You keep it small and you keep your eye on it.
  • 00:24:07.669 --> 00:24:12.674
  • That's how to deal with the federal government.
  • 00:24:13.642 --> 00:24:16.912
  • Keep it contained, keep it small, and keep your eye on it.
  • 00:24:16.912 --> 00:24:26.922
  • And when we the
  • 00:24:27.289 --> 00:24:28.957
  • People, if my people who are called by my
  • 00:24:28.957 --> 00:24:32.761
  • Name, that's god fearing people will humble themselves
  • 00:24:32.761 --> 00:24:36.598
  • And pray and seek my face, i will forgive their sins.
  • 00:24:36.598 --> 00:24:41.770
  • I will hear from heaven
  • 00:24:42.270 --> 00:24:44.906
  • And i will heal their land, heal their brokenness.
  • 00:24:44.906 --> 00:24:50.478
  • And that's our prayer as americans today.
  • 00:24:50.478 --> 00:24:54.649
  • And then
  • 00:24:54.916 --> 00:24:58.153
  • We'll be able to pray this prayer.
  • 00:24:58.153 --> 00:25:01.089
  • Will you bow your head with me?
  • 00:25:01.089 --> 00:25:06.194
  • God bless america.
  • 00:25:06.628 --> 00:25:12.934
  • Land that i love.
  • 00:25:13.368 --> 00:25:17.639
  • Stand beside her.
  • 00:25:18.073 --> 00:25:21.543
  • And guide her
  • 00:25:21.910 --> 00:25:24.913
  • Through the night.
  • 00:25:25.347 --> 00:25:29.451
  • With the light
  • 00:25:29.784 --> 00:25:32.053
  • From above.
  • 00:25:32.053 --> 00:25:35.557
  • From the mountains
  • 00:25:35.991 --> 00:25:38.293
  • To the prairie.
  • 00:25:38.293 --> 00:25:41.396
  • To the oceans.
  • 00:25:41.730 --> 00:25:44.799
  • White with foam.
  • 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:47.435
  • Oh, god bless america.
  • 00:25:47.435 --> 00:25:54.976
  • Our home.
  • 00:25:55.276 --> 00:25:58.179
  • Sweet home.
  • 00:25:58.513 --> 00:26:02.851
  • America the beautiful, our country
  • 00:26:03.585 --> 00:26:06.821
  • After home sweet home.
  • 00:26:06.821 --> 00:26:08.857
  • But our america is hurting.
  • 00:26:08.857 --> 00:26:11.459
  • We see it in our fractured, divided communities
  • 00:26:11.459 --> 00:26:14.396
  • And in our struggling families.
  • 00:26:14.396 --> 00:26:17.098
  • God's answer for a broken nation has never been found
  • 00:26:17.098 --> 00:26:20.335
  • In politics, power, or human effort alone.
  • 00:26:20.335 --> 00:26:24.105
  • God says, if my people who are called by
  • 00:26:24.105 --> 00:26:27.175
  • My name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and
  • 00:26:27.175 --> 00:26:31.846
  • Turn from their wicked ways, then i will hear from heaven,
  • 00:26:31.846 --> 00:26:35.417
  • Forgive their sin, and heal their land.
  • 00:26:35.417 --> 00:26:39.254
  • Healing begins when god's people return to him.
  • 00:26:39.254 --> 00:26:42.757
  • In his powerful book, healing broken america.
  • 00:26:42.757 --> 00:26:46.261
  • Doctor jung explores the spiritual path toward
  • 00:26:46.261 --> 00:26:49.164
  • Healing and restoration through faith, family,
  • 00:26:49.164 --> 00:26:52.634
  • And the values that have shaped generations of americans.
  • 00:26:52.634 --> 00:26:56.304
  • Because when
  • 00:26:56.304 --> 00:26:57.338
  • Hearts are transformed by god, lives are changed,
  • 00:26:57.338 --> 00:27:00.975
