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.

Charlie Kirk was a Christian evangelist and is now a martyr.

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
00:07:04.480
under the guise of prayer requests and concerns
0.88
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.
00:07:49.460
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
00:09:27.460
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
00:13:51.940
But how do we fight without becoming a monster?
00:13:56.960
I think the solution is to hate what God hates.
00:14:09.900
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
00:16:01.880
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.
00:16:37.480
And you need to be on guard against anything vile
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
00:18:58.760
people will give account for every careless word they speak.
00:19:08.520
let us tremble at knowing that nothing escapes the eyes of our holy God.
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
00:21:30.560
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.
00:21:51.780
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.
00:22:17.520
One day who will be thrown into the lake of fire
00:22:46.580
in the just, conscious torments of hell forever.
00:22:53.880
we too will stand before God on that final day,
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
00:24:25.300
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
00:24:57.320
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
