The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - The Wokeness Wilderness | June 18, 2026
  • We had
  • 00:00:02.014 --> 00:00:03.015
  • Better learn how to discern, and mama
  • 00:00:03.015 --> 00:00:06.552
  • Bears teach their little cubs how to discern.
  • 00:00:06.552 --> 00:00:09.555
  • And we better practice in our lives.
  • 00:00:09.555 --> 00:00:11.557
  • Because remember the basic, fundamental truth out.
  • 00:00:11.557 --> 00:00:16.662
  • We can require them to do what we require them to do
  • 00:00:16.662 --> 00:00:19.832
  • Until they get to be teenagers.
  • 00:00:19.832 --> 00:00:21.533
  • And then they begin to do what you do and what i do.
  • 00:00:21.533 --> 00:00:24.503
  • Have you noticed that
  • 00:00:24.503 --> 00:00:27.272
  • We can't have to speak it.
  • 00:00:27.272 --> 00:00:28.807
  • We have to seek to live it.
  • 00:00:28.807 --> 00:00:32.644
  • So discernment.
  • 00:00:33.011 --> 00:00:34.713
  • All the voices. where do i go?
  • 00:00:34.713 --> 00:00:36.415
  • What do i do?
  • 00:00:36.415 --> 00:00:37.049
  • Time. money.
  • 00:00:37.049 --> 00:00:37.783
  • What do i do? who do we trust?
  • 00:00:37.783 --> 00:00:40.452
  • How do we get our value system?
  • 00:00:40.452 --> 00:00:42.121
  • Where do we find those absolutes we can stand on?
  • 00:00:42.121 --> 00:00:44.923
  • That will always be absolute discernment.
  • 00:00:44.923 --> 00:01:06.044
  • Isaiah.
  • 00:01:06.278 --> 00:01:09.948
  • Chapter five says it clearly.
  • 00:01:10.582 --> 00:01:14.653
  • Woe to those who call evil good
  • 00:01:15.287 --> 00:01:19.691
  • And good evil.
  • 00:01:20.025 --> 00:01:22.728
  • We substitute darkness for light
  • 00:01:22.728 --> 00:01:26.131
  • And light for darkness,
  • 00:01:26.632 --> 00:01:29.935
  • Who substitute bitter for sweet
  • 00:01:29.935 --> 00:01:32.638
  • And sweet for bitter.
  • 00:01:32.638 --> 00:01:35.340
  • Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
  • 00:01:36.208 --> 00:01:40.179
  • And clever in their own sight.
  • 00:01:40.779 --> 00:01:46.084
  • September
  • 00:01:46.385 --> 00:01:47.653
  • The 11th, 2001
  • 00:01:47.653 --> 00:01:54.826
  • I was in a prayer
  • 00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:56.461
  • Meeting with some men in our church,
  • 00:01:56.461 --> 00:01:59.431
  • And i walked down the steps
  • 00:02:00.032 --> 00:02:04.069
  • And someone told me,
  • 00:02:04.536 --> 00:02:06.038
  • An airplane has struck
  • 00:02:06.038 --> 00:02:09.107
  • One of the twin towers
  • 00:02:09.575 --> 00:02:12.377
  • In new york city.
  • 00:02:12.377 --> 00:02:15.314
  • At the same time.
  • 00:02:15.747 --> 00:02:17.149
  • In that tower there on the 78th floor,
  • 00:02:17.149 --> 00:02:22.254
  • There was a man who was already seated
  • 00:02:23.021 --> 00:02:25.791
  • At his desk.
  • 00:02:25.791 --> 00:02:28.727
  • Under his desk was his dog,
  • 00:02:28.727 --> 00:02:32.664
  • Rosie, in her little bed.
  • 00:02:32.664 --> 00:02:37.002
  • And then there was an explosion
  • 00:02:37.636 --> 00:02:40.405
  • From above, said this man named michael.
  • 00:02:40.405 --> 00:02:43.775
  • And immediately building began to tilt
  • 00:02:44.543 --> 00:02:47.379
  • 20 degrees.
  • 00:02:47.379 --> 00:02:50.315
  • Smoke began to come to the room.
  • 00:02:51.016 --> 00:02:54.086
  • Glass was falling down.
  • 00:02:54.086 --> 00:02:57.022
  • A man named philip came in the room
  • 00:02:57.789 --> 00:03:00.092
  • And said, we're all going to die.
  • 00:03:00.092 --> 00:03:03.195
  • The building is coming down.
  • 00:03:03.795 --> 00:03:06.632
  • You'd have to be blind
  • 00:03:07.099 --> 00:03:08.467
  • Not to know that.
  • 00:03:08.467 --> 00:03:11.136
  • At that time, michael stood up,
  • 00:03:11.136 --> 00:03:14.106
  • Who was blind from birth,
  • 00:03:14.673 --> 00:03:18.076
  • And he reached down and got his guide
  • 00:03:18.076 --> 00:03:21.346
  • Dog, rosie,
  • 00:03:21.346 --> 00:03:24.149
  • And he turned and he said,
  • 00:03:24.149 --> 00:03:27.519
  • Trust rosie.
  • 00:03:27.853 --> 00:03:29.755
  • She'll get us out of here.
  • 00:03:29.755 --> 00:03:32.491
  • Some of them laughed.
  • 00:03:32.491 --> 00:03:35.294
  • Others fell in
  • 00:03:35.294 --> 00:03:36.662
  • Line, and rosie turned and began
  • 00:03:36.662 --> 00:03:40.532
  • To guide michael and a small group behind him.
  • 00:03:40.532 --> 00:03:44.670
  • In the middle of that catastrophic moment,
  • 00:03:45.570 --> 00:03:50.909
  • He put his trust in rosie.
  • 00:03:51.476 --> 00:03:56.014
  • Ladies and gentlemen, anybody who can read and write
  • 00:03:57.049 --> 00:04:00.052
  • And has a lick of sense
  • 00:04:00.052 --> 00:04:01.453
  • Knows that in the world today, and particularly in america,
  • 00:04:01.453 --> 00:04:06.091
  • There's all kind of debris
  • 00:04:06.658 --> 00:04:08.860
  • Fallacy, rumors, ideas.
  • 00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:12.030
  • And around us of the sound of many voices.
  • 00:04:12.931 --> 00:04:16.168
  • Have you noticed internet,
  • 00:04:16.168 --> 00:04:19.538
  • Television, friends, wherever we go.
  • 00:04:19.538 --> 00:04:22.974
  • Their voices, voices, voices, voices saying, believe this.
  • 00:04:22.974 --> 00:04:27.579
  • Give money to this.
  • 00:04:27.579 --> 00:04:29.348
  • Join this. be a part of this.
  • 00:04:29.348 --> 00:04:31.817
  • And we're just surrounded by people calling for time,
  • 00:04:31.817 --> 00:04:36.254
  • For influence, for money, for energy.
  • 00:04:36.254 --> 00:04:39.624
  • And how do you.
  • 00:04:39.991 --> 00:04:41.727
  • And how do i know?
  • 00:04:41.727 --> 00:04:44.963
  • Whom we can trust?
  • 00:04:45.397 --> 00:04:47.666
  • Good english in texas,
  • 00:04:47.666 --> 00:04:50.302
  • We say who we can trust.
  • 00:04:50.302 --> 00:04:53.872
  • Who can we trust?
  • 00:04:54.306 --> 00:04:57.275
  • Who do we put our confidence in?
  • 00:04:58.009 --> 00:05:01.146
  • Michael, blind as he was,
  • 00:05:01.713 --> 00:05:04.015
  • Put his confidence in rosie.
  • 00:05:04.015 --> 00:05:07.919
  • Sound many voices.
  • 00:05:08.353 --> 00:05:10.055
  • Come. go. run. shout.
  • 00:05:10.055 --> 00:05:11.957
  • All kinds of ideas.
  • 00:05:11.957 --> 00:05:13.492
  • This is what you do with your savings.
  • 00:05:13.492 --> 00:05:15.660
  • This is what you do with all kind of.
  • 00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:18.730
  • Who do we trust? who do we listen to?
  • 00:05:18.730 --> 00:05:21.266
  • Now let's get a little history.
  • 00:05:21.900 --> 00:05:25.003
  • Go back to post modernism.
  • 00:05:25.570 --> 00:05:31.343
  • Postmodernism.
  • 00:05:31.676 --> 00:05:34.312
  • I read this summer
  • 00:05:34.312 --> 00:05:37.449
  • A book interesting
  • 00:05:37.449 --> 00:05:39.618
  • Called philip and alexander
  • 00:05:39.618 --> 00:05:42.621
  • Philip of macedonia, alexander's father,
  • 00:05:42.621 --> 00:05:46.258
  • Alexander the great.
  • 00:05:46.258 --> 00:05:48.493
  • And in this book, it takes you back to
  • 00:05:48.493 --> 00:05:51.596
  • Antiquity, to the beginning of the roman empire.
  • 00:05:51.596 --> 00:05:55.901
  • And i read with great interest how they made decisions,
  • 00:05:55.901 --> 00:06:00.772
  • Where they got their authority, and it was all might
  • 00:06:00.772 --> 00:06:05.677
  • Makes right.
  • 00:06:06.011 --> 00:06:09.381
  • The strongest
  • 00:06:09.748 --> 00:06:12.651
  • Survival of the fittest.
  • 00:06:12.651 --> 00:06:16.054
  • Their religion was everything.
  • 00:06:16.655 --> 00:06:18.657
  • Everybody.
  • 00:06:18.657 --> 00:06:21.526
  • It rains.
  • 00:06:21.827 --> 00:06:23.395
  • Zeus is happy.
  • 00:06:23.395 --> 00:06:25.630
  • It lightnings.
  • 00:06:25.630 --> 00:06:27.098
  • Zeus is unhappy.
  • 00:06:27.098 --> 00:06:29.534
  • And you got all the gods and goddesses.
  • 00:06:29.534 --> 00:06:32.737
  • From stoicism to epicureanism,
  • 00:06:33.338 --> 00:06:37.108
  • All kind of temples all over the world.
  • 00:06:37.108 --> 00:06:40.612
  • And with alexander went out
  • 00:06:41.213 --> 00:06:44.416
  • With all of his decadent living.
  • 00:06:44.416 --> 00:06:46.718
  • See, they would give children to these
  • 00:06:46.718 --> 00:06:50.055
  • Potentates as sexual toys.
  • 00:06:50.055 --> 00:06:54.392
  • When they
  • 00:06:54.693 --> 00:06:55.560
  • Would conquer an area, they would marry
  • 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.696
  • The pharaoh's daughter.
  • 00:06:57.696 --> 00:06:58.864
  • So they control and they would adopt all the religions,
  • 00:06:58.864 --> 00:07:02.033
  • All the idols, all the cults, all the traditions.
  • 00:07:02.033 --> 00:07:05.904
  • And when they had a problem in the sea, they'd say, well,
  • 00:07:05.904 --> 00:07:09.174
  • We haven't been faithful to the gods of the sea,
  • 00:07:09.174 --> 00:07:12.077
  • Of the son of the moon, or all of our instincts.
  • 00:07:12.077 --> 00:07:15.247
  • That was pre modernism.
  • 00:07:15.247 --> 00:07:20.252
  • How did they find their authority?
  • 00:07:21.019 --> 00:07:22.654
  • They tried to find the god that met the need
  • 00:07:22.654 --> 00:07:24.823
  • And that the shame of that moment.
  • 00:07:24.823 --> 00:07:26.258
  • And they worship that.
  • 00:07:26.258 --> 00:07:28.326
  • Oh, they gave sacrifice, that human sacrifice,
  • 00:07:28.326 --> 00:07:31.229
  • All kinds of sacrifices.
  • 00:07:31.229 --> 00:07:35.300
  • Pre modernism.
  • 00:07:35.634 --> 00:07:37.235
  • Modernism.
  • 00:07:37.235 --> 00:07:38.169
  • We talked about it that that came in there
  • 00:07:38.169 --> 00:07:41.907
  • Through the wonderful moment
  • 00:07:41.907 --> 00:07:44.609
  • Of the enlightenment.
  • 00:07:44.609 --> 00:07:47.746
  • The scientific method came into vogue.
  • 00:07:47.746 --> 00:07:50.549
  • Francis bacon, how do you find truth?
  • 00:07:50.549 --> 00:07:52.984
  • Truth is revealed by experiment.
  • 00:07:52.984 --> 00:07:56.187
  • Truth.
  • 00:07:56.388 --> 00:07:57.722
  • And how do you find truth?
  • 00:07:58.290 --> 00:07:59.991
  • The five senses.
  • 00:07:59.991 --> 00:08:02.527
  • All of them.
  • 00:08:02.527 --> 00:08:03.728
  • And then finally, you plug in reason.
  • 00:08:03.728 --> 00:08:07.098
  • And in this materialistic atmosphere,
  • 00:08:07.098 --> 00:08:11.736
  • People found answers to all the voices,
  • 00:08:11.736 --> 00:08:15.473
  • To all the decisions, all the moral questions.
  • 00:08:15.473 --> 00:08:18.476
  • They would look into reality called sagan
  • 00:08:18.476 --> 00:08:23.515
  • As what did all this world come from?
  • 00:08:23.515 --> 00:08:26.117
  • He said, the cosmos is is it always has been?
  • 00:08:26.117 --> 00:08:29.588
  • It always will be.
  • 00:08:29.588 --> 00:08:31.423
  • Or does life come from did you know for many centuries
  • 00:08:31.423 --> 00:08:35.493
  • They would see raw meat and maggots would repair
  • 00:08:35.493 --> 00:08:39.397
  • On that meat?
  • 00:08:39.397 --> 00:08:40.532
  • They'd say, look, the meat somehow inanimate, create
  • 00:08:40.532 --> 00:08:44.069
  • Something that's animate.
  • 00:08:44.069 --> 00:08:45.103
  • That was believed for hundreds of years, folks.
  • 00:08:45.103 --> 00:08:47.806
  • Pascal through that out the window.
  • 00:08:47.806 --> 00:08:50.775
  • But this was the era of modernism
  • 00:08:50.775 --> 00:08:55.513
  • In the science areas of the day of education.
  • 00:08:55.513 --> 00:08:59.184
  • Modernism is dominant.
  • 00:08:59.184 --> 00:09:02.087
  • There's little quantum theory atmosphere.
  • 00:09:02.087 --> 00:09:05.156
  • You know, i'm stein discovered the quantum realm,
  • 00:09:05.156 --> 00:09:08.093
  • And then you spend the
  • 00:09:08.093 --> 00:09:09.260
  • Rest of his life as a physicist trying to disprove
  • 00:09:09.260 --> 00:09:12.330
  • Everything he'd found in the quantum area of science.
  • 00:09:12.330 --> 00:09:15.567
  • Interesting. so we have
  • 00:09:15.567 --> 00:09:19.170
  • Pre modernism, ghost and goblins.
  • 00:09:19.871 --> 00:09:24.042
  • We have modernism.
  • 00:09:24.476 --> 00:09:25.810
  • I've got to see it and i've got to touch it.
  • 00:09:25.810 --> 00:09:28.747
  • But all of these
  • 00:09:29.147 --> 00:09:31.249
  • Atheists and agnostics,
  • 00:09:31.249 --> 00:09:34.085
  • They never could explain
  • 00:09:34.085 --> 00:09:35.820
  • How you have a creation without a creator.
  • 00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:39.557
  • And you can't either.
  • 00:09:39.557 --> 00:09:42.861
  • Then we come to postmodernism
  • 00:09:42.861 --> 00:09:45.630
  • And that's when there are no absolutes.
  • 00:09:45.630 --> 00:09:48.633
  • What is an absolute is something that is true
  • 00:09:48.633 --> 00:09:51.269
  • At all times and all places to all people.
  • 00:09:51.269 --> 00:09:53.972
  • That is an absolute.
  • 00:09:53.972 --> 00:09:56.207
  • Now we have postmodernism.
  • 00:09:56.207 --> 00:09:57.876
  • There's no absolute truth is whatever you want it to be,
  • 00:09:57.876 --> 00:10:01.846
  • You just pick a number.
  • 00:10:02.347 --> 00:10:04.716
  • Therefore there's no foundation at all.
  • 00:10:04.716 --> 00:10:06.751
  • Therefore, we're out in a constant area of squirrel.
  • 00:10:06.751 --> 00:10:11.990
  • And that's where we are today
  • 00:10:12.624 --> 00:10:15.994
  • In the humanities, in our educational process.
  • 00:10:15.994 --> 00:10:20.065
  • And that's how when all these voices are calling,
  • 00:10:20.065 --> 00:10:23.501
  • We just jump into one of those areas
  • 00:10:23.501 --> 00:10:25.637
  • Now, primarily postmodernism and say, well, you know, this
  • 00:10:25.637 --> 00:10:29.307
  • Is where you find out things.
  • 00:10:29.307 --> 00:10:32.744
  • So the
  • 00:10:32.944 --> 00:10:34.045
  • Bottom line we need and one of my favorite words,
  • 00:10:34.045 --> 00:10:37.348
  • If you've been around here
  • 00:10:37.348 --> 00:10:38.316
  • For a while, is the word discernment.
  • 00:10:38.316 --> 00:10:42.754
  • Discernment.
  • 00:10:43.088 --> 00:10:43.955
  • What is discernment biblically?
  • 00:10:43.955 --> 00:10:46.291
  • Discernment is a spiritual gifts.
  • 00:10:46.291 --> 00:10:48.827
  • Discernment is a mark of being led by the holy spirit.
  • 00:10:48.827 --> 00:10:53.264
  • It's not an absolute thing, but how we need
  • 00:10:53.264 --> 00:10:56.901
  • With all the voices calling for this
  • 00:10:56.901 --> 00:10:58.970
  • And that and the other, how we need to know and put down
  • 00:10:58.970 --> 00:11:02.407
  • And have the ability of discernment.
  • 00:11:02.407 --> 00:11:06.911
  • A five year old boy walks in
  • 00:11:07.512 --> 00:11:10.348
  • And the kindergarten.
  • 00:11:10.348 --> 00:11:12.517
  • He looks and says, mommy,
  • 00:11:12.517 --> 00:11:16.287
  • Are we racist?
  • 00:11:16.621 --> 00:11:20.458
  • Six year
  • 00:11:20.725 --> 00:11:21.826
  • Old girl comes in from school and she says, mommy,
  • 00:11:21.826 --> 00:11:25.497
  • The teacher told me if i wanted to,
  • 00:11:26.264 --> 00:11:28.066
  • I could be a boy.
  • 00:11:28.066 --> 00:11:32.570
  • Mommy.
  • 00:11:32.771 --> 00:11:34.973
  • What are you going to say to those kids?
  • 00:11:34.973 --> 00:11:38.143
  • How are you going to
  • 00:11:38.610 --> 00:11:39.377
  • Communicate to them of their level
  • 00:11:39.377 --> 00:11:40.712
  • So that understand what's going on in this world culture?
  • 00:11:40.712 --> 00:11:43.314
  • How are you going to answer that?
  • 00:11:43.314 --> 00:11:45.917
  • So we'd better be prepared.
  • 00:11:45.917 --> 00:11:48.386
  • Mama bear apologetics.
  • 00:11:48.386 --> 00:11:51.456
  • Read it.
  • 00:11:51.456 --> 00:11:53.324
  • It'll help mama bears to do what they must do
  • 00:11:53.324 --> 00:11:56.628
  • In our broken culture is to give sane, common
  • 00:11:56.628 --> 00:12:00.198
  • Sense answers to all the confusion
  • 00:12:00.198 --> 00:12:03.101
  • And wokeness we're surrounded with.
  • 00:12:03.101 --> 00:12:06.471
  • Marriage is one of god's greatest gifts.
  • 00:12:06.471 --> 00:12:09.407
  • You might say, next to the gift of our salvation, christ.
  • 00:12:09.407 --> 00:12:13.444
  • It's number one.
  • 00:12:13.444 --> 00:12:14.712
  • But let's be honest, it also brings real challenges.
  • 00:12:14.712 --> 00:12:18.449
  • Every couple of face disagreements, miscommunication
  • 00:12:18.449 --> 00:12:23.755
  • Or financial pressure, family tensions, and seasons
  • 00:12:23.755 --> 00:12:27.091
  • Of frustration in the whole area of marriage.
  • 00:12:27.091 --> 00:12:30.028
  • You know, saying that if you're married, left unchecked,
  • 00:12:30.028 --> 00:12:34.265
  • Those struggles can slowly erode into
  • 00:12:34.265 --> 00:12:38.002
  • Even a marriage that should be great.
  • 00:12:38.002 --> 00:12:39.771
  • Into a marriage, that's just okay.
  • 00:12:39.771 --> 00:12:42.473
  • But that does not have to be your story.
  • 00:12:42.473 --> 00:12:46.444
  • In the ten commandments of marriage,
  • 00:12:46.444 --> 00:12:48.246
  • I share biblical truth, practical wisdom,
  • 00:12:48.246 --> 00:12:51.182
  • And a little humor drawn from more than 50
  • 00:12:51.182 --> 00:12:54.586
  • Years of ministry and marriage experience.
  • 00:12:54.586 --> 00:12:57.522
  • These ten timeless principles are designed to help husbands
  • 00:12:57.522 --> 00:13:01.726
  • And wives protect what matters most and strengthen
  • 00:13:01.726 --> 00:13:05.630
  • That relationship, and build a marriage
  • 00:13:05.630 --> 00:13:08.233
  • Based on love and joy, and a lasting commitment
  • 00:13:08.233 --> 00:13:11.803
  • That's filled with laughter and pleasure and excitement.
  • 00:13:11.803 --> 00:13:17.075
  • Listen, god never intended marriage to be.
  • 00:13:17.075 --> 00:13:20.845
  • Let's just survive and hang on.
  • 00:13:20.845 --> 00:13:23.381
  • He attended it to sing and to thrive.
  • 00:13:23.381 --> 00:13:27.318
  • Listen, if you really want a healthier,
  • 00:13:27.318 --> 00:13:30.355
  • Christ centered marriage that still has warmth, passion,
  • 00:13:30.355 --> 00:13:34.158
  • And purpose, these ten commandments of marriage
  • 00:13:34.158 --> 00:13:37.629
  • Is just for you.
  • 00:13:37.629 --> 00:13:39.430
  • Call them on your screen or visit the website below
  • 00:13:39.430 --> 00:13:42.133
  • To regress your copy of the ten commandments of marriage.
  • 00:13:42.133 --> 00:13:46.471
  • Do it today.
  • 00:13:46.471 --> 00:13:57.382
  • That mama bear will give her life
  • 00:13:58.116 --> 00:14:00.618
  • In a skinny new york minute to protect those clubs.
  • 00:14:00.618 --> 00:14:05.490
  • A mama bear
  • 00:14:05.490 --> 00:14:06.724
  • Is one of the most vicious, vicious animals on the earth.
  • 00:14:06.724 --> 00:14:10.295
  • When the cubs are there, the cubs are born
  • 00:14:10.295 --> 00:14:13.197
  • In hibernation.
  • 00:14:13.197 --> 00:14:14.799
  • She has 1 or 2, or sometimes four.
  • 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.535
  • In the bear family, the mama bear has to teach
  • 00:14:17.535 --> 00:14:21.105
  • Those cubs by example
  • 00:14:21.105 --> 00:14:24.575
  • Where to find food, where to find water, how to
  • 00:14:25.576 --> 00:14:27.812
  • Protect themselves.
  • 00:14:27.812 --> 00:14:29.013
  • Usually they hover down in the bottom.
  • 00:14:29.013 --> 00:14:31.249
  • If they could find a white pine
  • 00:14:31.249 --> 00:14:32.984
  • Tree in their area of control and they will bed down there.
  • 00:14:32.984 --> 00:14:36.487
  • So if mama is ever out foraging for food,
  • 00:14:36.487 --> 00:14:40.658
  • The cubs can be there.
  • 00:14:40.658 --> 00:14:41.859
  • And she taught them how to climb up
  • 00:14:41.859 --> 00:14:43.494
  • That pine tree and be safe.
  • 00:14:43.494 --> 00:14:46.631
  • Mama bear's parents,
  • 00:14:47.098 --> 00:14:50.435
  • You'd better be like that bear.
  • 00:14:50.435 --> 00:14:53.471
  • Mama handles those cubs.
  • 00:14:53.471 --> 00:14:56.074
  • If not, you're going to wake up
  • 00:14:56.074 --> 00:14:57.809
  • And say what happened to our kids?
  • 00:14:57.809 --> 00:15:01.813
  • But in the meantime.
  • 00:15:02.280 --> 00:15:04.983
  • Mama bear, you'd better be able to answer
  • 00:15:05.817 --> 00:15:08.519
  • Those most difficult questions in ways that they can
  • 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:12.090
  • Understand in a judeo-christian biblical framework.
  • 00:15:12.090 --> 00:15:16.194
  • If not, you're going to lose those children.
  • 00:15:16.194 --> 00:15:20.865
  • Read the book.
  • 00:15:21.199 --> 00:15:24.168
  • It talks about discernment.
  • 00:15:24.168 --> 00:15:27.505
  • Discernment is able to determine what is right.
  • 00:15:27.505 --> 00:15:30.675
  • What is wrong.
  • 00:15:30.675 --> 00:15:32.110
  • What is good?
  • 00:15:32.110 --> 00:15:32.944
  • What is bad, what is expedient
  • 00:15:32.944 --> 00:15:35.880
  • Now, and what will be expedient in the future.
  • 00:15:35.880 --> 00:15:38.649
  • It's the ability to discern.
  • 00:15:38.649 --> 00:15:42.320
  • We had better learn how to discern, and mama
  • 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:46.858
  • Bears teach their little cubs how to discern.
  • 00:15:46.858 --> 00:15:49.861
  • And we better practice in our lives.
  • 00:15:49.861 --> 00:15:51.863
  • Because remember the basic, fundamental truth
  • 00:15:51.863 --> 00:15:55.400
  • Out. we can require them to
  • 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.302
  • Do what we require them to do until they get to be teenagers.
  • 00:15:58.302 --> 00:16:01.839
  • And then they begin to do what you do and what i do.
  • 00:16:01.839 --> 00:16:04.809
  • Have you noticed that
  • 00:16:04.809 --> 00:16:07.578
  • We can't have to speak it.
  • 00:16:07.578 --> 00:16:09.113
  • We have to seek to live it.
  • 00:16:09.113 --> 00:16:12.950
  • So discernment.
  • 00:16:13.317 --> 00:16:15.019
  • All the voices. where do i go?
  • 00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:16.721
  • What do i do?
  • 00:16:16.721 --> 00:16:17.355
  • Time. money.
  • 00:16:17.355 --> 00:16:18.089
  • What do i do? who do we trust?
  • 00:16:18.089 --> 00:16:20.758
  • How do we get our value system?
  • 00:16:20.758 --> 00:16:22.427
  • Where do we find those absolutes we can stand on?
  • 00:16:22.427 --> 00:16:25.229
  • That will always be absolute discernment.
  • 00:16:25.229 --> 00:16:29.267
  • And then in our world culture, in
  • 00:16:30.034 --> 00:16:33.271
  • Comes a woke trojan horse.
  • 00:16:33.271 --> 00:16:38.509
  • Remember the trojan horse?
  • 00:16:39.077 --> 00:16:41.813
  • The greeks were were c.g.
  • 00:16:42.380 --> 00:16:44.449
  • Troy, and they couldn't get through the walls.
  • 00:16:44.449 --> 00:16:47.218
  • And troy was holding out.
  • 00:16:47.218 --> 00:16:49.787
  • But a greek carpenter,
  • 00:16:49.787 --> 00:16:52.857
  • Really a sculpture.
  • 00:16:52.857 --> 00:16:54.792
  • He made this trojan horse
  • 00:16:54.792 --> 00:16:57.395
  • Out of four different types of wood.
  • 00:16:57.395 --> 00:16:59.063
  • It was a magnificent piece of art.
  • 00:16:59.063 --> 00:17:01.432
  • It was ten feet high.
  • 00:17:01.432 --> 00:17:03.701
  • It had all the curves of a beautiful horse,
  • 00:17:03.701 --> 00:17:06.871
  • And they presented the gates of troy and said,
  • 00:17:06.871 --> 00:17:10.074
  • This is for the king of troy.
  • 00:17:10.074 --> 00:17:11.676
  • And and whenever
  • 00:17:11.676 --> 00:17:12.877
  • They opened the gate, they took that horse in.
  • 00:17:12.877 --> 00:17:15.880
  • It was a work of art.
  • 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.749
  • And the king would have put it
  • 00:17:18.749 --> 00:17:19.984
  • Right in the middle of his palace.
  • 00:17:19.984 --> 00:17:21.352
  • And it is a fabulous thing.
  • 00:17:21.352 --> 00:17:23.421
  • This is a greek carpenter sculpture
  • 00:17:23.421 --> 00:17:25.590
  • Giving us a a beautiful horse.
  • 00:17:25.590 --> 00:17:27.358
  • And you know what happened
  • 00:17:27.358 --> 00:17:29.560
  • When it got dark inside that horse?
  • 00:17:29.560 --> 00:17:31.729
  • There were 2 or 3 elite
  • 00:17:31.729 --> 00:17:34.699
  • Greek soldiers
  • 00:17:35.032 --> 00:17:37.835
  • And they came out, opened the gate, and bang!
  • 00:17:37.835 --> 00:17:40.238
  • Troy was destroyed.
  • 00:17:40.238 --> 00:17:42.473
  • A trojan horse has come into
  • 00:17:42.473 --> 00:17:45.710
  • The united states of america into our culture.
  • 00:17:45.710 --> 00:17:49.881
  • And guess what that horse has brought
  • 00:17:49.881 --> 00:17:54.585
  • Into our world?
  • 00:17:54.952 --> 00:17:57.255
  • You never guess.
  • 00:17:57.255 --> 00:18:00.057
  • A new dictionary.
  • 00:18:00.057 --> 00:18:04.028
  • Whoa!
  • 00:18:04.262 --> 00:18:06.030
  • Just a new dictionary.
  • 00:18:06.030 --> 00:18:08.933
  • Yeah, because a part of selling us on the wokeness
  • 00:18:08.933 --> 00:18:14.572
  • Of the day, words have to change their meaning.
  • 00:18:14.572 --> 00:18:18.943
  • Phrases have to be redone.
  • 00:18:18.943 --> 00:18:22.380
  • You want to argue with me?
  • 00:18:22.947 --> 00:18:25.516
  • Well, if you're a phd in philosophy,
  • 00:18:25.516 --> 00:18:29.487
  • There's no magic.
  • 00:18:29.921 --> 00:18:30.955
  • I surrender, you win.
  • 00:18:30.955 --> 00:18:32.256
  • But if in this argument, you'll
  • 00:18:32.256 --> 00:18:35.459
  • Let me define all the words we're going to use,
  • 00:18:35.459 --> 00:18:38.563
  • And you let me
  • 00:18:38.896 --> 00:18:40.298
  • Put the parameters down to, where are we going to argue?
  • 00:18:40.298 --> 00:18:43.634
  • I can i'd argue out bait anybody on the planet,
  • 00:18:43.634 --> 00:18:47.171
  • Any subject.
  • 00:18:47.171 --> 00:18:48.206
  • If i can define the words and if i can put the
  • 00:18:48.206 --> 00:18:51.576
  • Scope of the debate and therefore what
  • 00:18:51.576 --> 00:18:54.478
  • Happens in classrooms today
  • 00:18:54.478 --> 00:18:58.516
  • With so many read
  • 00:18:58.950 --> 00:19:00.051
  • Definitions of words and phrases,
  • 00:19:00.051 --> 00:19:02.853
  • Most students are quiet.
  • 00:19:02.853 --> 00:19:05.890
  • They don't say anything.
  • 00:19:06.424 --> 00:19:08.793
  • They're afraid they'll use their own pronoun.
  • 00:19:08.793 --> 00:19:10.795
  • They afraid they'll use a word that's
  • 00:19:10.795 --> 00:19:12.330
  • Been thrown out the window, that's educated
  • 00:19:12.330 --> 00:19:16.200
  • Under the new dictionary that we live under.
  • 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.936
  • That's what the trojan horse has brought us.
  • 00:19:18.936 --> 00:19:21.372
  • Let me give you just a little bit of this.
  • 00:19:21.372 --> 00:19:24.075
  • Jesus accepts everyone.
  • 00:19:24.075 --> 00:19:29.080
  • Jesus was a refugee.
  • 00:19:29.547 --> 00:19:33.284
  • Jesus does not build
  • 00:19:33.751 --> 00:19:36.821
  • Walls that keep people from him.
  • 00:19:36.821 --> 00:19:40.157
  • People need to live their truth.
  • 00:19:40.891 --> 00:19:43.728
  • A real christian accepts everyone and applauds
  • 00:19:44.695 --> 00:19:48.399
  • Their position.
  • 00:19:48.399 --> 00:19:51.902
  • And then they take words
  • 00:19:52.436 --> 00:19:53.838
  • Like committed felon
  • 00:19:53.838 --> 00:19:57.108
  • Is a justice involved person.
  • 00:19:57.742 --> 00:20:02.380
  • Ex-cons, a returning resident.
  • 00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:07.985
  • Oh yeah, a parolee,
  • 00:20:08.452 --> 00:20:11.022
  • A person under supervision.
  • 00:20:11.022 --> 00:20:15.192
  • Hey, this isn't mythology.
  • 00:20:15.760 --> 00:20:17.628
  • I'm not from mars.
  • 00:20:17.628 --> 00:20:20.364
  • I'm from right here in river city,
  • 00:20:21.132 --> 00:20:24.068
  • Right here in the united states of america.
  • 00:20:24.068 --> 00:20:26.137
  • And this is what is happening to us.
  • 00:20:26.137 --> 00:20:27.872
  • And two words they have most abused
  • 00:20:27.872 --> 00:20:32.076
  • Is the word love
  • 00:20:32.476 --> 00:20:34.745
  • And the word truth.
  • 00:20:34.745 --> 00:20:37.882
  • Love and truth.
  • 00:20:38.249 --> 00:20:41.052
  • Love without truth is mushy.
  • 00:20:41.652 --> 00:20:47.658
  • Truth without love is cold.
  • 00:20:48.259 --> 00:20:52.163
  • And they try to take those words away from us.
  • 00:20:53.130 --> 00:20:57.468
  • But they must always go together.
  • 00:20:57.468 --> 00:21:00.371
  • Covered in grace. now
  • 00:21:00.371 --> 00:21:03.541
  • Do you remember when jesus was going to jerusalem?
  • 00:21:04.542 --> 00:21:08.979
  • And yet his apostles with him, and they came to a
  • 00:21:08.979 --> 00:21:11.816
  • Samaritan city, and the samaritan city rebuked
  • 00:21:11.816 --> 00:21:16.354
  • Them, evidently harm them, and and threw them out.
  • 00:21:16.354 --> 00:21:20.758
  • And james and john said, lord,
  • 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.894
  • Do you want me to call down lightning on them?
  • 00:21:23.894 --> 00:21:28.265
  • I felt like that.
  • 00:21:28.699 --> 00:21:32.269
  • And jesus said, no,
  • 00:21:32.737 --> 00:21:35.306
  • I'm in the salvation business.
  • 00:21:35.906 --> 00:21:38.776
  • I'm the salvation business.
  • 00:21:39.377 --> 00:21:42.313
  • Let's move on out now, folks.
  • 00:21:42.313 --> 00:21:45.716
  • We have to stand.
  • 00:21:45.716 --> 00:21:47.651
  • Stand for truth.
  • 00:21:47.651 --> 00:21:50.254
  • Vote not for an elephant or donkeys.
  • 00:21:50.254 --> 00:21:52.623
  • Vote for individuals who were really changed
  • 00:21:52.623 --> 00:21:55.993
  • The disease culture in which we live.
  • 00:21:55.993 --> 00:22:03.701
  • The question is
  • 00:22:04.068 --> 00:22:06.103
  • Whom can we trust?
  • 00:22:06.103 --> 00:22:08.839
  • Whom can we trust?
  • 00:22:09.273 --> 00:22:11.575
  • We better stay close to biblical living,
  • 00:22:11.575 --> 00:22:15.946
  • Godly living daily in our devotional time
  • 00:22:15.946 --> 00:22:19.250
  • And in the weekend, and the body of christ
  • 00:22:19.250 --> 00:22:21.619
  • So we can put our trust in the lord god almighty
  • 00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:25.589
  • And him alone.
  • 00:22:25.589 --> 00:22:29.059
  • 00000.
  • 00:22:29.260 --> 00:22:31.796
  • We forgot about rosie.
  • 00:22:31.796 --> 00:22:34.632
  • Yeah,
  • 00:22:34.865 --> 00:22:36.534
  • There was michael holding on to rosie.
  • 00:22:36.534 --> 00:22:40.070
  • And then all the lights went out in the building.
  • 00:22:40.070 --> 00:22:43.140
  • Boy, they were screaming.
  • 00:22:43.707 --> 00:22:44.742
  • Holly, we can't see.
  • 00:22:44.742 --> 00:22:46.177
  • Debris was falling, ducked and dirt were everywhere.
  • 00:22:46.177 --> 00:22:48.746
  • And rosie never broke stride.
  • 00:22:48.746 --> 00:22:51.315
  • And now, because it was total
  • 00:22:51.949 --> 00:22:53.851
  • Darkness, michael was like everybody else, though.
  • 00:22:53.851 --> 00:22:58.055
  • He'd been born blind
  • 00:22:58.055 --> 00:22:59.857
  • And he just followed rosie and the group started falling.
  • 00:22:59.857 --> 00:23:03.394
  • Rosie glass was coming, dust was coming.
  • 00:23:03.394 --> 00:23:07.064
  • Rosie led michael and a
  • 00:23:07.064 --> 00:23:09.800
  • Group of people down
  • 00:23:09.800 --> 00:23:12.736
  • 1463 steps.
  • 00:23:12.736 --> 00:23:18.909
  • It took an hour to get there, and when they got there,
  • 00:23:20.010 --> 00:23:25.583
  • There were all kind of voices going on.
  • 00:23:25.583 --> 00:23:28.586
  • Man. stay inside.
  • 00:23:28.586 --> 00:23:29.787
  • Don't go outside. go up the elevator.
  • 00:23:29.787 --> 00:23:31.956
  • Don't take the stairs.
  • 00:23:31.956 --> 00:23:33.090
  • Rosie never wrote stride the minute
  • 00:23:33.090 --> 00:23:34.959
  • She left the 78th floor. she never broke stride.
  • 00:23:34.959 --> 00:23:37.394
  • Michael stayed right because michael put his trust in rosie
  • 00:23:37.394 --> 00:23:41.699
  • And the little group falling put their trust in rosie
  • 00:23:41.699 --> 00:23:44.935
  • And rosie immediately went outside
  • 00:23:44.935 --> 00:23:47.371
  • When the policemen were staying inside,
  • 00:23:47.371 --> 00:23:49.173
  • And when they went outside, michael said he heard
  • 00:23:49.173 --> 00:23:51.609
  • What sounded like a mighty freight train and mighty
  • 00:23:51.609 --> 00:23:55.179
  • Water's falling because the second tower now had fell.
  • 00:23:55.179 --> 00:23:59.783
  • There was dirt,
  • 00:24:00.150 --> 00:24:02.620
  • Filth, smoke,
  • 00:24:02.620 --> 00:24:04.955
  • Cries, death, people jumping out of rooms
  • 00:24:04.955 --> 00:24:08.893
  • Way up there in the in the buildings there
  • 00:24:08.893 --> 00:24:12.830
  • At that moment was a member of our church.
  • 00:24:12.830 --> 00:24:16.433
  • Yeah.
  • 00:24:16.667 --> 00:24:17.635
  • Doctor sean boutros was a plastic surgeon
  • 00:24:17.635 --> 00:24:19.670
  • Doing his residency there in new york.
  • 00:24:19.670 --> 00:24:21.372
  • He got on his motorcycle and drove right.
  • 00:24:21.372 --> 00:24:23.707
  • There was one of the first
  • 00:24:23.707 --> 00:24:24.875
  • Physicians there, and he cared for, i don't know
  • 00:24:24.875 --> 00:24:27.278
  • How many people and say, don't know how many lives
  • 00:24:27.278 --> 00:24:29.980
  • He can tell you what was going on.
  • 00:24:29.980 --> 00:24:32.016
  • Voices shouting, tried nowhere to go.
  • 00:24:32.016 --> 00:24:34.752
  • Rosie never broke shrine.
  • 00:24:34.752 --> 00:24:37.154
  • Rosie never broke stride.
  • 00:24:37.154 --> 00:24:39.156
  • And finally, when all this was falling and nobody could see.
  • 00:24:39.156 --> 00:24:42.393
  • And they were inhaling in their loves, rosie suddenly
  • 00:24:42.393 --> 00:24:45.396
  • Went down some steps
  • 00:24:45.396 --> 00:24:48.098
  • And took them down there
  • 00:24:48.098 --> 00:24:50.668
  • Underground, where they were the trains.
  • 00:24:50.668 --> 00:24:52.836
  • And suddenly the air was clean
  • 00:24:52.836 --> 00:24:56.040
  • And rosie walked around the other side.
  • 00:24:56.040 --> 00:25:00.177
  • And 31 people
  • 00:25:00.544 --> 00:25:02.346
  • Who followed rosie, they trusted rosie.
  • 00:25:02.346 --> 00:25:05.149
  • They were saved.
  • 00:25:05.149 --> 00:25:11.589
  • Trust
  • 00:25:11.822 --> 00:25:12.890
  • In the lord with all your heart.
  • 00:25:12.890 --> 00:25:16.226
  • Lean not
  • 00:25:16.226 --> 00:25:17.461
  • Upon your own understanding, but upon god's understanding.
  • 00:25:17.461 --> 00:25:20.397
  • And what does it say?
  • 00:25:20.397 --> 00:25:22.633
  • He will direct your path.
  • 00:25:22.633 --> 00:25:36.280
  • Simple.
  • 00:25:36.513 --> 00:25:39.249
  • Doable, empowered by the holy spirit.
  • 00:25:39.249 --> 00:25:42.419
  • And somehow,
  • 00:25:42.753 --> 00:25:44.855
  • And all the shouts and all the half
  • 00:25:44.855 --> 00:25:48.092
  • Truths, mixed up truths, all the noise of debris,
  • 00:25:48.092 --> 00:25:52.663
  • The lord god and his holy spirit will lead us
  • 00:25:53.597 --> 00:25:56.734
  • If we put our full trust in him.
  • 00:25:57.434 --> 00:26:04.475
