00:00:00 Join Douglas Wilson, Dr. Joseph Boot, Brian Sauve, Eric Kahn, and myself on March 1st,
00:00:07 2nd, and 3rd for our 2024 conference.
00:00:10 It's called Blueprints for Christendom 2.0.
00:00:13 Our early bird pricing ends on Thursday, August 31st.
00:00:18 So go and visit rightresponseconference.com to register today.
00:00:23 We hope to see you at the conference in March.
00:00:25 God placed dragons and giants in this world
00:00:32 Precisely so that we can slay them
00:00:37 That's why they're here 0.99
00:00:39 Like sometimes, I forget who said it
00:00:43 I think it was at a Grace Agenda conference
00:00:46 At Christchurch
00:00:47 But somebody was talking about education
00:00:50 And classical education
00:00:51 And training children
00:00:52 and they said, you know, it's nerve-wracking as a parent
00:00:56 thinking that the world that we grew up in
00:00:59 is not the world that our children are growing up in.
00:01:04 Things were, you know, there was always sin,
00:01:06 but things are far less safe today
00:01:09 than they were 50 years ago,
00:01:11 than they were even just 20 years ago.
00:01:14 I mean, even with your children playing outside,
00:01:16 there's certain precautions you have to take
00:01:18 that when you were a kid, your parents didn't take.
00:01:21 And it's not because your parents were negligent.
00:01:22 It's not because they didn't love you.
00:01:23 It's because the world was safer.
00:01:26 So you just go out and run around and do this and do that
00:01:28 and be home by, you know, the mom comes out
00:01:31 with a dinner bell or whatever.
00:01:32 You're home by five and nobody's worried.
00:01:35 Nobody's worried about kidnapping or this
00:01:37 or, you know, God forbid, you know, whatever.
00:01:39 But the world is different.
00:01:41 The world has become dangerous.
00:01:43 And in this conference and talking about, you know,
00:01:46 training children and classical education,
00:01:48 it was really encouraging
00:01:49 because it's easy to just be hopeless, right?
00:01:52 The first option that you have, kind of like red pill, blue pill, and I'm talking about
00:01:57 like the matrix analogy, Neo, you know, you can take the blue pill and you'll go back
00:02:00 to sleep, get plugged back up into the matrix and, you know, and just ignore all the problems
00:02:05 in the world, right?
00:02:06 That's if you take the blue pill.
00:02:07 The red pill is you're going to get unplugged from the matrix and you're going to know all
00:02:10 the problems.
00:02:11 And that's been happening these last few years.
00:02:14 In a proverbial sense, a lot of people are taking that red pill and waking up and they're
00:02:17 like, oh my goodness.
00:02:18 like we were we were asleep at the wheel for a long time but there's some nefarious um players
00:02:24 in this game and this is happening that's happening we were lied to about this the
00:02:28 difference between a conspiracy and the truth is approximately three to six months like people
00:02:32 are waking up people are waking up here's the problem though people are taking this red pill
00:02:37 and waking up it's quickly followed by a black pill a lot of people are waking up you you talk
00:02:44 to them or you read them on social media or whatever and all they talk about is just how
00:02:48 things are hopeless. And if they have any hope at all, it's in a rapture. Jesus is going to come
00:02:54 back and rapture us. And it's probably going to be in the next, you know, 20 to 30 minutes.
00:02:59 And that's it. That's the only hope. Everything that they say, this is happening. It's going to
00:03:04 happen. There's nothing you can do to stop it. It's going to get really bad. In fact, it's going
00:03:07 to get worse. And it's like, but we just, but we pat ourselves on our back and we pride ourselves
00:03:12 not because we're strong, not because we have a plan, not because we could win, but just because
00:03:17 we know. Like, I'm, hey, follow me. Why? You have a plan for victory? No, because I know
00:03:24 how bad things are, and I know the most bad things. Like, the entire ministries,
00:03:32 entire organizations, entire social media pages, all websites and institutes, all geared around
00:03:38 that. That's just the conservative play, but what do the conservatives do? Conservatives boast
00:03:43 and being fully aware about how we're going to lose.
00:03:47 Oh, we're losing now.
00:03:48 We're also going to lose a little bit later
00:03:50 and we're going to lose precisely in this way
00:03:52 and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:53 And we don't build.
00:03:55 We beg.
00:03:56 We beg for donations.
00:03:58 We sound the alarm for boycotts.
00:04:02 So the playbook for conservatives is this.
00:04:06 Number one, and you can't skip this step.
00:04:07 It's imperative to the conservative playbook.
00:04:09 Get beat, lose.
00:04:11 And conservatives are fantastic at that.
00:04:13 so first you lose you get beat then then you bemoan you complain about how bad the world
00:04:20 then you beg right you beg for donations you boycott right and and then and then you get
00:04:27 beat again and you just and it's a cycle and starts back over that's that's it but for those
00:04:34 of us who have a hopeful eschatology those of us who believe that christ wins and not winning
00:04:39 despite a weak, shriveling church,
00:04:41 but that he wins actually progressively
00:04:43 throughout human history through his church,
00:04:46 that I will build, not just sustain my church
00:04:48 as it's on the ropes,
00:04:49 but I'll actually build, advance, increase my church.
00:04:52 And the gates of Hades, meaning hell is on the defensive.
00:04:55 Gates are not weaponry.
00:04:57 They're defensive measures.
00:04:58 The church is on the offense.
00:05:00 It's building and growing and hell on the defense.
00:05:03 Its gates will not be able to sustain
00:05:05 the battering ram of the church of Jesus Christ 0.90
00:05:08 as he builds it. Those of us who believe that way, that the church, Christ is victorious through the
00:05:14 church. We all, if you're a Christian, you believe Christ wins. The question is this, do you believe
00:05:18 Christ wins despite a losing church or Christ wins progressively throughout human history through
00:05:24 a building church? I believe the latter. So for us, we've taken the red pill. We don't believe
00:05:31 this because we're naive. We don't think, hey, we're winning because we're ostriches with our
00:05:35 head in the sand and we we don't know about you know the world economic forum and we don't know
00:05:39 about this and we don't know no we know we're aware things are bad we get it but at a certain
00:05:46 point you got to move the conversation from things are bad to how do we win how do we win
00:05:53 the red pill is necessary don't take a blue pill and go to sleep again get plugged back you got to
00:05:59 take the red pill but here's here's the vital piece of information that a lot of evangelicals
00:06:03 are missing. You follow up the red pill, not with the black pill of despair, but with the white pill
00:06:09 of hope that Christ wins through his church. And that's what we see with Israel. Israel doesn't 0.54
00:06:16 just attack, but they run them down. They finish the fight. They don't just leave in the name of 0.94
00:06:22 empathy, in the name of love, in the name of inclusion, in the name of this, in the name of
00:06:26 that. They don't leave their enemies to regroup and regather and re-multiply and strengthen and
00:06:32 then take them out at a future time. No, they finish the fight. And God, the whole reason why
00:06:38 the sun, I don't want us to miss this, the reason why God actually answers a man, it's a big deal.
00:06:44 Joshua, the Lord, it says, never since that day has the Lord heeded the word of a man. Think about
00:06:49 why. The whole reason God, the God of the universe, heeded the word of a man to stop the sun and the
00:06:55 moon and the sky, to lengthen the day, there's one reason, so that his enemies could be further
00:07:01 slaughtered. So we're talking about a miraculous, unique event in all of biblical history with the
00:07:09 sole purpose of more killing of bad guys. That's the purpose. Why? Because God is glorious and he
00:07:18 loves his people. That's why. God is glorious and he loves his people. And he does not want his
00:07:24 people to be slaughtered in the future because they wounded the snake but didn't cut off its head.
00:07:31 because they gave certain blows, but not the death blow.
00:07:36 And I'm not advocating to take this in a literal sense.
00:07:39 I'm not talking about taking up arms.
00:07:41 Again, disclaimer, disclaimer.
00:07:42 What I'm saying, though, is that as Christians,
00:07:45 when it comes to legislation, when it comes to culture,
00:07:48 when it comes to education, when it comes to family,
00:07:51 when it comes to doctrine,
00:07:52 when it comes to sin in our own individual lives,
00:07:55 as we seek to mortify sin in sanctification at every level,
00:07:59 let's give the death blow don't be satisfied to sequester and subdue and quarantine sin
00:08:08 kill it don't be satisfied to say well we've got a heartbeat law no no no abolish abortion 0.72
00:08:16 don't be satisfied to say well our public school is not too bad i mean they teach some evolution 0.57
00:08:21 and there's no mention of jesus and the last teacher that mentioned jesus she got fired but
00:08:25 No, no, no, no. Christian education. There is no neutral. At every level, run them down.
00:08:34 That's what the Israelites did. That's why God stopped the day, simply so there would be more 1.00
00:08:40 time for his children to run down their adversaries, to thoroughly defeat them, so that his people might
00:08:47 flourish in the land. And that's what we're called to do in a political sense, a cultural sense,
00:08:53 a spiritual sense, a moral sense in our own lives and sanctification at every level.
00:08:59 That is a lesson for us not to miss.
