The NXR Podcast - THE LIVESTREAM - You Are Charlie Kirk & They Want You Dead

00:00:00.000 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.

00:00:03.960 I get it. It's annoying. Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.

00:00:07.660 When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm

00:00:12.040 so that our podcast shows up on more people's newsfeeds.

00:00:16.260 You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.

00:00:21.860 We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.

00:00:26.800 If your church honored George Floyd but said nothing yesterday morning about Charlie Kirk, you must leave that church. 0.97

00:00:36.200 George Floyd was a criminal drug addict.

00:00:39.440 Charlie Kirk was a Christian evangelist and is now a martyr. 0.97

00:00:44.800 Cowardly and compromised pastors in large part have paved the way for the wickedness in our nation. 0.98

00:00:51.600 but these pastors have not repented and they will not repent because you have chosen to prop them

00:01:01.380 up for the past five years you christian have remained in that apathetic church you have 0.84

00:01:09.560 attended their services you through your tithes and offerings have been funding these cowardly 0.99

00:01:16.200 pastors salaries our nation is wicked because america's pastors are cowardly and america's 0.98

00:01:23.940 pastors are cowardly because you have told them by your attendance and your financial giving 0.99

00:01:31.840 that their cowardice is permissible today must be a day of repentance not just for your pastor 0.97

00:01:40.900 but for you, Christian. And repentance cannot merely be in word, it must also be in deed.

00:01:49.140 You need to stand up, fire off that email to your pastor, and allow them to know you love them,

00:01:56.260 you're praying for them, and you will never return to their church. Did your pastor preach

00:02:02.800 the gospel of Jesus Christ in the wake of what just happened with Charlie Kirk? Did he mention

00:02:10.260 from the pulpit the death of Charlie Kirk in light of the fact that it's very probable that

00:02:17.760 five years ago he certainly mentioned probably through his mask that he was wearing the death

00:02:24.760 of George Floyd. Many pastors by God's grace have been faithful and have addressed these things

00:02:32.160 and by God's grace alone nothing to credit myself but I was one of these pastors and here

00:02:39.240 is a brief clip from a sermon that i preached yesterday in light of charlie kirk being

00:02:47.060 murdered you want to get your country back you have to get rid of anything in your heart

00:02:53.180 that would indict you that would cause you to compromise

00:02:57.320 the sin which so easily entangles and weighs us down from running the race

00:03:04.600 it's not a coincidence i've been thinking about this all week long i've been thinking about the

00:03:10.380 lost virtue of hate hatred it is a virtue it is christian but i've been thinking about this

00:03:18.920 in particular when david says in the psalms do i not hate those who hate you i hate them

00:03:26.740 with a perfect hatred amen life verse put it on my tombstone same chapter though right let's get

00:03:35.120 the whole context same chapter that same david in the same breath says search me oh lord and know my

00:03:45.760 heart what made david's hatred of the enemies of god who were by virtue of being god's enemies his

00:03:54.040 enemies also what made that hatred righteous and what made it pure and what made his hatred of

00:04:00.140 god's enemies his enemies pleasing in the lord's sight is that the hatred wasn't biased he had the

00:04:07.060 same hatred for the enemies of god that same hatred for whatever sin remained in his own heart

00:04:13.620 search me oh god i hate them not just that i know we want to say that as squishy evangelicals we

00:04:23.500 say oh i hate that which offends the lord those things those ideologies david says i hate those 0.98

00:04:34.620 do i not hate those who hate you i loathe them oh i hate them with a perfect hatred and search me 0.53

00:04:44.940 oh lord i also hate this not myself but my sin which remains in my heart

00:04:55.580 like the apostle paul in romans chapter 7 who says so i find this law at work within

00:05:00.860 the members of my being the good that i want to do this i cannot carry out

00:05:05.660 and the evil that i don't want to do this i keep on doing oh what a wretched man i am

00:05:10.620 who will save me from this body of death see body notice the apostle recognizes his soul has already

00:05:18.940 been ransomed his soul has already been saved he has been justified and his mind is being renewed

00:05:26.380 daily by the word he's being sanctified but what he longs for and what he's lamenting is the absence

00:05:33.980 at least up into that point of not justification and not the process of sanctification but his

00:05:39.900 awaited glorification. Justification, the soul. Sanctification, the renewing of our minds and our

00:05:48.360 hearts. Glorification, the salvation, the final consummation, salvation of even our bodies. And

00:05:57.180 that's what Paul says, who will save me from this body of death? He says earlier in the chapter,

00:06:02.580 sin still resides within the members of my body, of my flesh.

00:06:09.500 The apostle Paul hated enemies of Christ and loved them.

00:06:15.000 It requires great maturity and great discernment, great sanctification.

00:06:23.480 But whatever hatred he had for those who were his enemies or God's enemies,

00:06:28.260 he also had love, wanted to see them born again, converted,

00:06:31.540 and he had hatred not just for enemies of god but for his own sin for his own sin

00:06:39.040 out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks

00:06:43.460 you hurt your wife this last week it's not a one-off it's your heart

00:06:52.780 you yelled in anger at your children this week it's not a mulligan it's your heart

00:07:01.540 You gossiped about your husband this week

00:07:04.480 under the guise of prayer requests and concerns 0.88

00:07:07.900 with the Christian gals.

00:07:10.360 It's not a one-off.

00:07:12.020 It's your heart.

00:07:14.220 It's your sin.

00:07:16.540 Hate it.

00:07:19.700 If we're going to hate sin without,

00:07:22.500 the enemy without,

00:07:24.700 we must also hate the enemy within.

00:07:27.420 That's the only thing that keeps us pure.

00:07:30.160 I'm telling you from personal experience.

00:07:33.280 I have four daughters, guys.

00:07:36.380 I am so radicalized, I cannot even put it into words.

00:07:40.340 With each new daughter, I become ten times more ready for a crusade.

00:07:47.600 I get it.

00:07:49.460 And yet, at the same time, I feel it, especially on a week like this.

00:07:53.800 I feel the inclination to become the monster that I want to stand against.

00:07:59.500 and the only way I know because on the one hand you can just be a sniveling

00:08:05.600 coward and a pacifist well it's just our own hearts and let's just become more

00:08:10.600 pure but guys they're killing us those days are done well the arena of you know 0.78

00:08:23.340 the free marketplace of ideas there is no free marketplace for ideas

00:08:29.140 the left doesn't have ideas so they bring bullets no no no more of that well we all need to come

00:08:39.360 together no we don't what what fellowship does beelzebul have with christ what fellowship

00:08:44.500 does light have with darkness no so i'm not saying become a sniveling coward but what i'm

00:08:50.480 also saying is there's a fine line between avoiding becoming a purity spiraling perpetually losing 0.99

00:08:57.600 beautiful loser conservative Christian 0.98

00:09:00.220 and on the other side 0.99

00:09:02.840 as I've railed in my own life

00:09:07.280 and publicly against pietism

00:09:08.900 against pacifism

00:09:10.740 against cowardice

00:09:12.640 I've realized it's a razor's edge

00:09:15.680 because right on the other side

00:09:19.220 it's like a Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde situation

00:09:23.580 and I could find myself

00:09:27.460 quickly quickly becoming the very thing that I hate and so what what is the

00:09:39.680 mechanism to avoid cowardice but also compromise to avoid being a beautiful

00:09:50.300 loser that's all we've had in the evangelical church and in the GOP and in 0.99

00:09:56.300 these United States of America for about 80 years is beautiful losers. Oh, did you see that? 0.99

00:10:03.000 He did a triple axel on his way to a face plant. Oh, did you see that? We stood on our principles

00:10:11.160 and lost again. Oh, did you see that? We really stood up as they stripped prayer from school and

00:10:17.060 as they murdered another million babies in their mother's womb and as they did this. No, no, no,

00:10:21.580 guys we need to win you know how many times i'm sick of hearing people online talk oh this is

00:10:29.900 just like lord of the rings first touch grass nerd second second this is just like lord of the rings

00:10:37.060 oh didn't they learn from lord of the rings they don't need to get the ring of power you can't

00:10:41.640 wield it it's bad you have to destroy it listen the ring of power in a fictional fantasy story

00:10:47.700 written for children, and I like Lord of the Rings, I'm a bit of a nerd myself, but that is

00:10:52.980 what it is, is not the same as the divinely instituted civil magistrate that was set up by

00:11:00.240 God. Oh, this is the ring. This is the civil magistrate. Okay, one is a fictional idea.

00:11:08.040 right the other is one of three divinely instituted entities set up by god the church

00:11:20.020 the family and the state romans 13 doesn't say don't bear the sword because it might you know

00:11:28.160 corrupt your heart only in the fires of mordor can it be unmade that's no the bible doesn't say

00:11:37.320 the bible says that the civil magistrate is god's deacon god's servant appointed by him to do what

00:11:44.320 to be a terror an absolute terror to those who do evil they should be fearing it's not whether

00:11:54.360 but which every society will have someone who's ostracized someone who's marginalized someone

00:12:04.220 will be in the closet someone will be afraid right now it's christians and their children

00:12:11.980 and we should not rest until everyone can get along no until those who are vile and

00:12:18.060 wicked are ashamed and afraid to show their face in public

00:12:22.940 work that's the right thing to do the closet or the cross that's our hope repentance not 0.98

00:12:36.260 the cross for them the cross of jesus christ trusting jesus christ and repenting or a jail

00:12:46.340 sale that for every criminal it should be i'm hiding and what's in my heart the wickedness

00:12:56.140 there i dare not do or i'm punished cross or i'm sorry closet hiding jail cell crime being punished

00:13:05.260 or cross repentance and we used to have a country like that oh these poor people you know

00:13:14.380 they're marginalized they're awesome well now we know what it looks like

00:13:19.240 to open the closet and to let these poor people out what it looks like is it all of a sudden we

00:13:26.020 have to climb in the closet there's certain places public places there are restaurants

00:13:32.120 guys where you know i know can't even take my family out to eat

00:13:36.620 because i don't know who's going to be serving the table

00:13:40.300 and what conversation I might have to have

00:13:43.560 on the way home with my four-year-old.

00:13:49.620 So no, we have to fight.

00:13:51.940 But how do we fight without becoming a monster?

00:13:56.960 I think the solution is to hate what God hates.

00:14:01.300 And I do think there's a category

00:14:02.740 where it includes those.

00:14:05.860 But it also involves that.

00:14:08.700 It has to be both.

00:14:09.900 i hate those who hate you and i hate that which you hate and if we're able to do that by the

00:14:17.120 grace of god then we won't just hate god's enemies but we'll also hate our sin

00:14:22.560 and one of the ways to start hating your sin is you have to recognize that you actually have sin

00:14:30.240 we say it every single week and so maybe it's become monotonous maybe it's something that just

00:14:38.040 goes over our heads but we read first john chapter 1 verse 7 8 and 9 i'll start with verse 8 if we

00:14:47.260 say we have no sin we deceive ourselves brothers and sisters if you say you have no sin you make

00:14:55.820 god it's not just you deceive yourself first john goes further elsewhere it says you make god out

00:15:01.980 to be a liar you indict God you accuse God there is sin in our hearts there is sin in our lives

00:15:14.380 and one of the ways to know is that that sin which is in our hearts the sin which still remains

00:15:19.960 which we need to be purified of sanctified of forgiven again and again and again that sin

00:15:25.900 which still remains in our hearts it comes out of our mouths out of the abundance of the heart

00:15:32.860 the mouth speaks so two primary applications from this principle from our text today number one

00:15:39.900 your mouth your words your heart your sin hate it do not become a monster

00:15:48.980 become like christ second when your enemy opens his mouth believe him it's not hyperbole

00:15:59.000 it's not just a joke

00:16:01.880 tens of thousands of people in your country they really are elated that a moderate christian man

00:16:13.420 was assassinated in front of his wife and children.

00:16:19.520 That's your country.

00:16:24.400 We cannot share a country with these people.

00:16:28.060 We can't.

00:16:33.980 You need to know how vile they really are.

00:16:37.480 And you need to be on guard against anything vile

00:16:40.920 that may be in you.

00:16:43.420 We need to pray. We need to work. And we need to win our country that we need to win our country back.

00:16:51.420 And that requires taking power. I'm not talking about taking power unlawfully.

00:16:57.420 I'm not talking about anything that would go against the word of God or be displeasing to Jesus Christ.

00:17:04.420 But there are strategic and courageous and forceful ways that are biblically permissible, even commendable.

00:17:12.420 and under our current laws of the land perfectly reasonable we don't just need to have more

00:17:22.540 debates in the marketplace the free marketplace of ideas now we need men men who assume position

00:17:32.760 who are running for local office many of them hiding their power levels

00:17:39.180 keeping their head down for a little while 1.00

00:17:42.840 waiting for um the female woman who is the head of this particular GOP chapter over here

00:17:54.180 to pass the baton and you're there and you're ready

00:17:59.840 we need to take power it's not the ring from mordor it's the civil magistrate instituted

00:18:10.860 by god if christians forsake power nature abhors a vacuum that's why we're in the mess we're in

00:18:22.200 it's because christians decided that power political power cultural power was mean and

00:18:28.540 icky and so here we are christians relinquish power someone else wields it so we must fight

00:18:38.380 we must believe our enemies when their mouths speak and reveal their hearts that's why we need

00:18:43.820 to fight that's why it's so dire and we also need to fight whatever sin remains in our hearts so

00:18:49.680 that we don't compromise along the way.

00:18:54.020 Last, verse 36.

00:18:56.660 I tell you, on the day of judgment,

00:18:58.760 people will give account for every careless word they speak.

00:19:01.980 For by your words, you will be justified,

00:19:04.460 and by your words, you will be condemned.

00:19:07.220 I've written in your notes,

00:19:08.520 let us tremble at knowing that nothing escapes the eyes of our holy God.

00:19:12.920 Every word shall be weighed.

00:19:14.540 And yet, for those who are in Christ,

00:19:16.540 all of our words sinful words it reveal our sinful hearts but if we be in christ

00:19:24.760 if we have faith in him then this judgment is not unto condemnation but unto reward

00:19:33.480 for christ has borne our guilt even for every idle word however for the unrepentant

00:19:42.920 for the unbeliever for those who mock the son of god and hate him and blaspheme the holy spirit

00:19:52.340 as we saw last week in the first portion of our text for those the tongue that now accuses others

00:20:01.160 on that final day will turn and accuse them did you know brothers and sisters and i take great

00:20:09.300 consolation in this truth that the very accusations being levied publicly right now

00:20:17.220 in elated celebration against charlie kirk and anybody else who's like him 0.51

00:20:23.300 that those accusations well he was hateful he was a bigot he was this he was that i'm glad

00:20:30.260 did you know that on that final day the lord will use their own very words to accuse them 0.77

00:20:36.980 you said this go to hell you said that go to hell there are many comforting doctrines

00:20:50.420 within the christian faith hell is one of them i am so comforted by the historic christian doctrine 0.52

00:21:01.420 of hell. 0.98

00:21:04.160 I am comforted most

00:21:05.900 by the gospel.

00:21:09.220 By a God who saved sinners

00:21:11.180 and who took me

00:21:13.440 although I was once

00:21:15.780 his enemy

00:21:16.240 and called me his friend.

00:21:20.580 But I am

00:21:21.580 comforted knowing that many

00:21:23.180 ultimately will not

00:21:25.460 put saving faith in

00:21:27.700 Jesus and repent of their sin.

00:21:29.360 And for them

00:21:30.560 Although I don't celebrate it, I am comforted by the doctrine of hell.

00:21:38.240 I am comforted, in other words, by both God's mercy, but also his justice.

00:21:47.300 That in the end, no one gets away with murder.

00:21:51.780 In the end, no one gets away, not only with murder, but according to our text, no one gets away with even one idle word.

00:22:00.660 Every single thought and inclination

00:22:04.080 will be revealed on the final day

00:22:07.040 and justly punished.

00:22:09.860 Every single one.

00:22:13.220 There will be many who celebrated this week.

00:22:17.520 One day who will be thrown into the lake of fire

00:22:20.860 and it will not be cruel.

00:22:22.940 It will not be unfair.

00:22:24.900 It will be righteous and just on God's part.

00:22:30.200 But don't miss this last point.

00:22:33.820 Because God is just,

00:22:35.880 He punishes sin with severity.

00:22:39.500 And all those who have sinned this week,

00:22:42.060 for those who are not in Christ,

00:22:44.040 their sin will be punished by them

00:22:46.580 in the just, conscious torments of hell forever.

00:22:52.080 And you and I,

00:22:53.880 we too will stand before God on that final day,

00:22:56.720 and all of our careless, cruel words

00:22:59.480 will be laid bare. And God will not turn a blind eye. Those sins also will be severely punished.

00:23:08.980 But in our case, they have been severely punished by he who knew no sin, but became sin on our

00:23:16.040 behalf so that we might inherit the righteousness of God. The son of God bled out on a cross

00:23:22.320 and died. His hands were spread apart, nails driven through them, through his feet, lashes on

00:23:28.560 his back, thorns in his head. He bled and died under the wrath of God. Father, Father, why have

00:23:35.880 you forsaken me? Because Joel sinned. And the only way he can be brought to forgiveness is by Jesus

00:23:43.180 bleeding out. Because you sinned. And the only way you can be forgiven is with atonement being made.

00:23:50.820 Jesus bleeding out. Mercy and justice are not at odds with one another. In the gospel of Jesus

00:23:58.180 Christ, mercy and justice are both perfectly upheld. God is just and he punishes all sin

00:24:05.680 without exception severely. But what about the righteous? We get to go to heaven. What about

00:24:12.840 Charlie and his sin? He's before the son of God in joy and peace and bliss. His sin was punished

00:24:20.960 severely it was punished in Jesus

00:24:25.300 it was punished in Jesus some of you are new today the events of this last week maybe

00:24:34.680 lit a fire under your feet goodness gracious what am I doing I should go to church

00:24:39.340 hear me there is forgiveness of sin in Jesus only in Jesus not in Christless conservatism

00:24:50.060 not in more zionism with our greatest ally

00:24:57.320 not in just being a cultural warrior or having the right voting pattern and the correct politics

00:25:07.340 now there is forgiveness of sin your sin only in jesus faith and repentance to call upon the name

00:25:17.900 of the Lord Jesus Christ, that he is Lord, kurios, over all. And by his grace and his grace alone

00:25:26.400 to voluntarily in this life and not waiting to the life to come, but in this life, bend your knee

00:25:33.560 by grace. Confess with your mouth by grace that Jesus is Lord, that you are a sinner and that his

00:25:42.500 blood is your only hope of forgiveness. If you can say that, if you believe that, then the blood of

00:25:51.320 Jesus is for you. His body given for you. His blood shed for the remission of your sins. It's the only

00:25:58.460 hope we have. Let's pray. Father, thank you for your word. Bless it to your people that Christ

00:26:04.860 might be honored and glorified. In his name we pray. Amen. America is a country that was founded

00:26:09.980 for the purpose of allowing Christians

00:26:11.360 to do their duty before God

00:26:14.160 by the doctrines and commandments of men.
