Hello, my friends.
This is Andy and Hediah
coming to you live from Yorba Linda,
California for the Living
Fearless Devotional.
That was like a roller coaster.
We are ResurrectMinistry.com,
harnessing the power of the
Internet to share the
gospel throughout the world.
Whether you be walled up in
a palace in Dubai or a
housewife right here in Orange County,
the Lord Jesus Christ will
meet you where you are.
I promise you he's done it with me.
He'll do it with you.
Open your heart.
Sincerely ask.
He's a gentleman,
so he won't force himself.
But it's true.
That's how everybody refers to him.
He stands at the door knocking.
If you open,
he'll come in and dine with you.
But you got to open your door.
You got to open your heart.
So that's what we're here for,
to tell you our funny stories,
our heartbreaking stories,
our walk with Jesus Christ,
to encourage you to also
walk with the Lord.
You can find all kinds of
resources on the website, books, pastors,
worship bands,
and a way to contact us directly.
We'd love to hear from you.
Drop us a line.
And if the ministry blesses you in any way,
you could throw a couple of
quarters in the bucket and
click the now button.
Try to mix it up a little, folks.
In the bucket.
Is that like the basket,
the tithing basket?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
All right.
I like that.
And make sure you comment as
you're watching.
If you have anything that
comes to you during our
reading of the devotional
or the scripture,
it'd be great just to put in the comment.
Or if you just want to say hi,
tell us where you're watching from.
and then uh you know a
little emoji here and there
that would be awesome the
pink wavy hand the pink
wavy hand uh anything in
the comments as you are
watching that would be
fantastic to engage if you
have a prayer request make
sure and include that also
that way at the end of the
show when we uh before we
leave we like to to talk
about not talk about
Pray for all the prayer requests?
Oh my God, Lisa had such a, oh,
I'm not supposed to do that.
Oh gosh.
Lisa had a great idea.
She said,
put a little ticker on the banner saying,
please send us your prayer requests.
We'll pray at the end.
That was a great idea.
Like this one?
Yeah.
Yeah, but have it be prayers.
Yeah, just right now,
pretend that it says prayer requests.
You keep talking.
I'm going to edit it.
Well,
I can't because I got to click on the
buttons.
We'll do it later.
Next time.
Yeah, here we go.
All right.
So also make sure and look
down in the description
where you will find our sponsors.
LifeWise being one of those.
LiveLifeWise.tv.
We have two, count them,
two new products that just came out.
And they're both fantastic.
They're actually... Marine One.
The Marine One, I did not know was coming.
But the little drinks...
uh for hydration yeah the
lift but we haven't got
those yet I ordered them
did you they'll be coming
yes uh and so we have those
things they'll give you a
little pep in your step I
think I like the marine one
one I do like the marine one
It's actually really good.
And if you need any help
sleeping or you need a
little bit of a boost, show them.
Oh yeah.
Look at this.
And he takes all the tabs.
So he has the pills, but look at this.
We've organized all the tabs
into a little tab case.
So he could just pull it out.
Actually.
I'm going to give me grab one right now.
Since we're onto this.
Oh, not that one.
I already took that one.
I want the red one.
The red one.
Clarity.
Pull out the clarity.
Gives you a little boost of
energy and a little clarity.
Clears your mind.
And you open that up like this.
I'm going to take Marie one.
This is the longest
commercial we've ever had.
You open it right up.
You get a little tab,
just like this little stamp.
See that little stamp?
It took a little while to protect.
And you put it in your mouth,
and then it dissolves and
goes into the receptors on
the roof of your mouth and
under your tongue.
And that's the fastest way
that a supplement can get
into your system.
And then you talk funny for a few minutes.
So just ignore that.
Also, StreamYard.
That's what we're using now
to go live to you.
If you have any hobbies that
you want to share with somebody else,
or maybe have a business
that you want to do a live
broadcast or podcast or podcast.
What have you.
All of the above.
Use StreamYard to do that.
Go to GetStreamYardNow.com.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
In the LifeWise one,
use this URL right here
that says LiveLifeWise.tv.
Don't do a Google search for LifeWise.
Why did you choose TV?
Huh?
Why did you choose TV?
Because I have a show that I
was doing that I need to go
back to doing.
For LifeWise.
So it's LiveLifeWise.tv for
the show that I was talking
about all these products.
Gotcha.
Which I'll go back to for you.
All right.
And then for our scripture,
make sure you get this
ready in your Bible.
Go to 1 Thessalonians 2, 8 through 12.
I may read a little more.
1 Thessalonians 2, 8 through 12.
Have that prepared in your Bible.
All right.
we're going to be reading
from aw tozer for the
christian leader it's may
4th the title is a genuine
gift amen at first when I
read that I thought this
was about you oh that was
that was a little much yeah
a little over the top of that one
AW is reading from 1 Thessalonians 2.8.
I think it was proportionate
to the comment.
I do.
1 Thessalonians 2.8 says,
it's hard to say that when
you have a thing on the
roof of your mouth.
So being affectionately desirous of you,
we were willing to have imparted unto you,
not the gospel of God only,
but also our own souls,
because ye were dear unto us.
Amen.
Let me shock you at this point.
A naturally bright person
can carry on religious
activity without a special gift from God.
Filling church pulpits every
week are some who are using
only natural abilities and
special training.
Some are known as Bible expositors,
for it is possible to read
and study commentaries and
then repeat what has been
learned about the scriptures.
Yes, it may shock you,
but it is true that anyone
able to talk fluently can
learn to use religious
phrases and can become
recognized as a preacher.
But if any person is
determined to preach so
that his work and ministry
will abide in the day of judgment,
judgment fire, then he must preach,
teach and exhort with the
kind of love and concern
that comes only through a
genuine gift of the Holy Spirit,
something beyond his own capabilities.
Lord,
Grant me that gift as I wait for you.
I want to preach with eternal benefit.
Help me to recognize that
only in the power and love
of the Holy Spirit will that happen.
Amen.
You know what I like about this?
Because for weeks now,
Tozer has been talking
about false teachers,
basically people that know
how to speak and
orators, expositors, but have no gifting.
And I think the church is
just rampant with that right now.
And it's really hard to
figure out who's who.
But as the Lord says,
as the time approaches to his return,
there is the separation of
the sheep from the goats,
the wheat from the shaft,
the great falling away.
And I think some of the
controversies and scandals
and world events are
are causing that falling away.
I think the riots on campus,
college campuses are causing it sickness.
It started with COVID to me.
I think COVID marks in our spiritual lives,
um,
globally of the church,
especially this kind of cleaving, right?
Pastor Jack talks about that a lot,
that it seems like it
started the great falling away,
where we just lost droves
and droves of people
And I think this latest
controversy about the
college campuses and people
not willing to stand up for
the Jewish people,
it's another way like I'm out.
I just don't want anything to do.
Religion is the problem, blah, blah, blah,
all the crazy things that
people could say.
But I think this point that
he's making about false
teachers is just another
element of how people fall away.
Do you really think it's
more rampant now than it was before?
Maybe because I didn't know.
I wasn't part of the community,
so maybe I didn't know.
But I think also when
scholars and historians talk about it,
they say that it's getting,
there's a great revival
coming in the young people's hearts.
That's actually Barnum
research that's been done.
But there are less people go
to church after COVID.
That's also a research statistic.
Today at my men's Bible study,
one of the guys had
attended a conference over at Kindred,
which is in Anaheim.
And you remember Benny Hinn?
Sure.
He was on like Channel 5.
Yeah, he's still very famous.
And he knocked people over.
Yeah.
Well, I think it's his nephew.
is a Oh, opposite Baptists reformist.
Yes.
Oh, he's a great speaker.
And so he was speaking at
Kindred last week.
Oh, I wish I knew.
I wish I would have known.
He's awesome.
But he was talking about
what a what a scam, you know,
his uncle was.
And he was part of the ministry, you know?
Yes.
Great testimony.
They said that they used to
say at $12,000 a night hotels.
Yeah, he has wild stories.
Wild stories.
So that's why I was saying,
do we really think it was
worse now than then?
But I think with the Internet,
we are so much aware of so
many things now that we weren't before.
And so, you know,
and I think even if you
look into the Bible that was going on.
You know, 2000 years ago, but, um, it is,
uh,
it is something that I probably was like,
like, for myself,
I was not as aware of it.
Um,
as I am now that even some of the
churches that I went to and attended to,
I thought they were perfectly fine.
But that's what I'm saying.
I don't know if they were
teaching something.
See, the reason we got upset,
the reason we were,
we saw the corruption that
was in the church we were
going to when we were first married,
not Pastor Jack's church, the other one,
the local one,
was because of the
political controversy of
COVID and other things.
Obey your leaders, obey the authorities,
stay quiet.
You shouldn't be talking.
And it just flipped us out.
Yeah.
But it was that conflict
that demonstrated who that
preacher really was.
So that's what I'm saying is
that you're suddenly finding out, oh, no,
I didn't know you thought that, you know,
because life was so easy
peasy for American
Christianity that your
differences were not articulated.
Right.
Now the world is such a conflicted place.
As soon as somebody takes a stand,
there's people that go to
the left and people that go to the right.
You know, I think Trump's done that too.
You know, all of our political controversy,
things about what he's done, everything,
overturning a Roe versus Wade,
everything is turning out
to be these giant cleaves in our society.
Hmm.
wow uh you want to want to
hit something really quick
hello kelly and kathy
spirit wind view hi folks
nice to see you I like your
hat does she always have
that hat on yes oh you're
saying each other to each
other and kevin from garden
city hello kevin from uh
garden city michigan
We haven't seen you in a while.
We hope you're well.
And Carrie's got her pink
little waving hand.
And Kathy's saying,
there's someone in our church,
very small church,
but he's teaching replacement theology,
and practically everyone
spoke up against it.
Praise Jesus.
So that's what happened to me and Andy,
too.
We went to a small seminar
at that church we were going to,
and the guy's like,
you don't need to read the Old Testament.
It's irrelevant.
And I was like, okay, I'm leaving.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
But the head pastor said, you know,
you got to be quiet.
You got to be quiet.
Exactly.
And I was like, we're out.
We're out.
Yeah.
Don't say anything.
That's the problem.
Pastor.
Exactly.
It is more obvious that
there is an apostasy.
Yes.
Crazy.
That's and that's what I'm
saying is I think that this
controversy of the
Palestinian between
supporting Israel is
pointing that apostasy in
the church is that people
you listen to some people and you're like,
wow, you're hearted.
Like you really don't know
anything about our faith.
And so it's pointing that out.
And it's also pointing out
biases and racism, ignorance, apostasy,
all kinds of things.
And the ladies are saying
hello to each other.
Carrie says, my worries,
all these spontaneous baptisms,
who's discipling them?
The Lord only knows.
Yeah.
You know,
and I got a lot now that she
mentions that.
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, and I, I,
I wrote this in my article
about the paradox of the
celebrity pastor.
I kind of have a unique
perspective on that because
of being part of that kind
of a community to start
with is that a lot of people don't want
Don't do altar calls.
Don't encourage baptisms
because they really want
people to be true believers
because they think even
though they walked with us,
they were not of us.
That, you know,
the verse where it's just kind of like,
though people thought they were with us,
they were not with us.
For if they were with us,
they would have stayed with us.
So why allow them to walk
along the path if it's just
going to lead to
destruction anyways because
they're not really believers?
But in my experience,
when you open the pool and
teach people the simple gospel,
the ones that are meant to stay will.
They will grab hold.
The Lord and the Holy Spirit
will guide them,
and they will find their
way to a Bible place.
Believing, teaching, church.
Yeah,
I think that you'll have a little bit
of a mix.
You'll have those people
that will grow immediately, catch fire.
And then you'll have people
like me who I'm coming in.
I go, oh, this is all I have to do.
I just got to get dipped and
show up every Sunday for an hour.
Easy peasy.
I can do that.
And then them or those
people at some point will then go, oh,
you know, there's more to it than that.
And so you'll get a couple stragglers.
Right.
That will come along.
So do you think if the
church you were at for 20
years didn't exist and all
there were were churches
like Calvary Ciappuccino
Hills that everybody would
have ended up stronger
believers or people just
wouldn't have come to church?
Like,
I kind of believe in the kiddie pool
Christianity.
I know some people may not agree with that,
but I kind of like the kiddie pool.
You hope everybody realizes, oh,
the water's only up to my knees.
Maybe I need to go and learn to swim.
I mean, you hope that they do,
that people don't stay in
the kiddie pond.
It starts to occur to them, wait a minute,
I'm in the kiddie pond.
I'm still wearing diapers.
I've got to move on.
I mean, Paul says it,
like you have to stop
drinking milk and eat meat.
You don't know.
It's like church with training wheels.
Yeah.
But I never let my kids have
training wheels.
I just would push them,
and then they would fall,
and they'd get back up,
and I'd push them again,
and they would say,
I'm not going to fall again,
and they'd stay up.
Yeah.
So I think sometimes
training wheels can be a
detriment for growth.
Absolutely.
Carrie thinks that too,
but how many will think it
is one and done?
Yeah.
There's that too.
Well,
thankfully God knew exactly what he
was doing with me.
What do you mean?
Whatever, whatever my path was,
was exactly what he was supposed to be.
But that's the thing.
That's the thing.
It's so hard to analyze it
when you look back because you're like,
it happened exactly as it should have.
God had me the entire time.
Amen.
Not that it was him that was holding it.
Yeah.
There's that rat story.
Now I can't remember.
The rat story where... Oh my gosh.
I can't say.
I wish I would never have
brought it up now.
But it's an experiment that...
The water kept raising and
then there's rats that if
they didn't realize that if
they floated at the top,
they could stay alive.
That they would just drought,
but there were rats that
they gave them the ability
to see if they just would
stay up above the air,
then they would keep swimming for days.
You just had to show them.
Not just that,
but there was also one about
them being rescued.
That if they knew,
if they saw the person was
there to rescue them,
they would stay alive.
But the ones that had no
hope of being rescued died faster.
However that was.
I just remember that story.
I remember hearing that.
Yes.
Okay.
And bring it back for me to this,
what we were just talking about.
It's that I just always felt
like there was hope.
I always felt that there was
something good about what I was doing.
I just,
I just must understood what my role was.
I always liked that God was there,
and so I could always pray to him,
and I could always blame him.
I could do both.
Oh, nice.
Praise him or blame him.
Play the praise-blame game.
You boring Christians are so weird.
No offense, anyone.
Oh,
I remember yelling and screaming at him
one day.
I was cussing.
Oh, man.
It was a scene.
Yikes.
I was so mad.
But at least I was yelling at him.
At least it wasn't that I said,
you don't exist.
Yeah.
You know?
Wild.
Yeah, it was wild.
It was one of those days.
Kevin was working the NFL draft.
That's fantastic.
And led worship at church today.
That's awesome.
Kevin's quite the, well,
there's a name for it.
Oh, it's on the tip of my tongue.
It's a man of many talents and things.
What do they call it?
There's a name for it.
Master Craftsman?
No.
Oh my gosh.
Somebody help me out.
There's a name for it.
Okay.
Can I read a scripture while
you're thinking of that?
Yeah.
So this is Paul's ministry
in Thessalonica.
And I told you I was going
to start at eight,
but I think it's kind of
cool to start at the
beginning because I just think it's,
it's powerful to hear the
way Paul had the,
I don't know the confidence
to talk about himself.
And yet he, it was confident,
but it was humble.
Hmm.
And what he's saying is his
gifting as a result of who he was to God.
You know, brothers and sisters,
that our visit to you was
not without results.
We had previously suffered
and been treated outrageously in Philippi,
as you know, but with the help of our God,
we dared to tell you his
gospel in the face of strong opposition.
For the appeal we make does
not spring from error or impure motives,
nor are we tricking you.
On the contrary,
we speak as those approved
by God to be entrusted
with the gospel.
We're not trying to please people,
but God who tests our hearts.
You know, we never use flattery.
We did not put a mask on to
cover up greed.
Oh my God, how relevant is that today?
God is our witness.
We were not looking for praise from people,
not from you or anyone else.
Even though as apostles of Christ,
we could have asserted our authority.
Instead, we were like children among you.
See that?
How humble.
And yet, like,
we could have asserted authority over you,
but we didn't.
And just as a nursing mother
cares for her children, we cared for you.
We loved you so much.
We were delighted to share
with you not only the gospel of God.
but our lives as well.
Surely you remember, brothers and sisters,
our toil and our hardship.
We worked day and night in
order not to be a burden to
anyone while we preach the
gospel of God to you.
You are witnesses, and so is God,
of how holy, righteous,
and blameless we were among
you who believed.
Can you imagine saying that
about yourself?
I am holy, righteous,
and blameless among you.
For you know that we dealt
with each of you as a
father deals with his own children.
Encouraging, comforting,
urging you to live lives worthy of God,
who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
Amen.
We should just read the Bible.
Yes.
It is amazing.
Francis Chan's on,
that's his latest focus in ministry now.
He just goes through
chapters of the Bible and reads it.
on air.
He's just like, why do I do anything else?
If you could just take away
the power of the words, God's living word,
infallible word, sharpen the sword,
reveal between soul and spirit.
It is revelatory.
It is encouraging.
It is extraordinary.
So why do we do anything other than that?
Just to entertain.
Renaissance man.
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Is it?
Thank you, Carrie.
Look at that.
I found a friend.
Carrie.
I should always just call Carrie.
Right?
Oh, Renaissance man.
Jack of all trades.
That's another good one.
Thank you, Kelly.
Yes.
That's another good one.
Jack of all trades.
But the Renaissance man was
the one I was thinking.
Renaissance.
Yeah.
Long Renaissance.
I would have accepted Jack of all trades.
And Carrie says, down the bottom.
No, I'm not reading that.
Oh.
Anyways,
so didn't you think those were
cool words?
Yes.
I mean, because he's saying,
where are the apostles of God?
We could have banged you
over the head with that, but we didn't.
And we didn't take all your money,
which we could have done too.
But we worked day and night,
and then we treated you
like our children.
We comforted you.
We encouraged you.
We called you to be worthy
of the lives that God has given you.
We didn't put masks on to cover up greed.
Right?
How great is that?
How relevant is that?
Masks of greed.
God knows.
Because he knows what happens.
The Bible doesn't tell us what happened.
It tells us what always happens.
That's Driscoll.
That's it.
Goodbye.
Good night, everybody.
That's when Mark Driscoll.
The Bible doesn't just tell
us what happened.
It tells us what always happens.
isn't it oh my gosh wow amen
so what else so we have um
current events we're gonna
have raymond ibrahim on our
show ibrahim yes the writer
of defenders of the west he
is a scholar on the crusades
and uh has gone back to
original source material to
basically understand
christendom I think I
talked about him a couple
days ago so me and andy are
going to interview him
He's agreed to come on the show,
which will be very cool.
He's going to kind of point
to the historical social
underpinnings of why
American Christianity,
Western Christianity has
ended up so weak.
And so that'll be fun.
And I volunteered my
services to Alan Dershowitz.
who's starting a legal team.
It's called Hurt a Jew, We Sue You.
So I have put, it's been on my heart.
Like every time I watch
these campus protests, I'm like,
somebody's got to sue.
When is somebody going to sue?
And I keep thinking to myself,
like it's good because it
has to go to the Supreme Court.
The current precedence of
the land is a Supreme Court case filed
which is known as the Brandenburg Test.
So incitement to violence
was KKKs on college
campuses and whether it was
speech that was not
protected by the First Amendment.
It has been the test for 50 years.
It needs to be revised.
So God willing,
these will be the cases
that get to that point.
And are you going to sue the
presidents of these universities?
No.
So the idea is you need a
plaintiff and you need a
victim and you need a defendant.
So that means you have to
find people that were hurt.
They have actual damages.
And then who was the perpetrator?
So I don't think he's going
to... It's a far legal stretch, I think,
for them to try to blame it
on the presidents.
I think he would have said
if that's what his approach,
but he didn't take action.
They have an obligation to
keep people safe.
It's like not having lights
in a parking lot.
And it may end up some of
the cases are that way,
but he was looking for kind
of like the ones that sued 9-11.
The big,
big seminal case of 9-11
aggressors were against...
The perpetrators and their families.
And the victims and their families.
The Rockefeller brothers and
George Soros funded most of these.
I suspect he had them as co-defendants.
He wants to go through the
discovery process for this
is all like public what I
got from his podcast.
And it was so cool because I
emailed him and I sent him
a resume and he's like, thank you.
We'd love your help.
So I don't know what's going
to come of it.
A man of very few words.
Not normally.
He could go on and on.
Are you going to be able to listen to him,
Schnugs?
Because you kind of doze off
when I'm going on and on.
He's so interesting.
I love you.
I really do.
I love you so much.
You love me like a puppy.
I love you so much.
You silly little puppy.
I love you.
He's very interesting.
It's a different kind of interesting.
He's a brilliant lawyer.
He is.
He's a brilliant lawyer.
He is for a Democrat.
But he says he has not
decided whether he's going
to vote for Trump.
He may be a fan,
but he's always talking
about how he never voted
for Trump in the past.
So before he defended him,
even when he defended him, he's like,
I'm going to defend him,
but I'm not going to vote for him.
Oh, today on his podcast, he said,
I haven't decided.
Oh, well, I mean, how could you?
I mean, if you have any intelligence,
I could have said that four years ago.
And I did say that if you
are have any sense of intelligence,
you would not.
Well, now, I mean,
we didn't know how
ridiculous he was four years ago.
No,
he was kind of a middle-of-the-road guy.
No, he was never a middle-of-the-road guy.
He was a plagiarist.
He lied.
Obama didn't like him.
Because he was a middle-of-the-road guy.
No, because he was an idiot.
Anyways.
They've always said that
he's never gotten anything right.
People have written books about it.
Yeah.
But that doesn't mean he's
not a middle-of-the-road guy.
He's middle of the road.
He doesn't take exchange.
Best friends with the grand
dragon of the KKK.
He gave him his eulogy at his funeral.
I could go on and on.
Carrie, 100%.
Thank you, Carrie.
I'm not a big scholar of the
Biden industry.
Carrie News thinks I'm smart.
Yes, I think you're very smart.
It's nothing to do with smart.
Why are you kicking me out of the table?
I'm not kicking you.
I'm rubbing your leg.
I'm telling you how smart you are.
Oh, my gosh.
That would be fun.
Kelly says he's always been a liar.
Yeah, always.
Yeah, apparently he's lied a lot.
Yeah.
You can't be well-liked or
middle-of-the-road guy if
you're constantly lying.
You cannot tell the truth.
I don't know if he remembers.
This was before.
Before he went.
Before he lost his mind.
He lied.
He tried to say that he
graduated the top of his class.
He graduated the bottom of his class.
And those things are so easily verifiable.
I barely graduated law school.
It's very hard to get good
grades when all you need to do is pass.
Yes.
You know, they say,
what is a person called
that graduates from law school?
I said, what?
An attorney.
Why would you probably get good grades?
It's like, who cares?
It's my party years.
Right.
Oh, my gosh.
That'll be fun.
Yeah.
I'd like to interview him, too.
Right?
Yeah.
I look forward to seeing how that unfolds.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Oh, man, I just had a thought.
See?
That's why you love him more than me.
Oh.
Impossible.
Did you have a chance to
take a look at Judges 19?
I texted it to you.
No.
You told me you wanted to talk about it,
but we didn't look at it.
We could do this on the air.
Hold on.
You could do it.
I think it's 19.
And what are we... I've got
to read it to you because I
don't understand.
I'll leave it in his concubine?
Yes.
Oh, concubine.
See, people ask me,
where do I come up with that word,
concubine?
It's in the Bible.
So I'm going to read it from.
Oh, this is about Lot.
No.
No?
Let him out of your house?
No?
No.
It's just a man.
Oh.
It's just the man.
I don't want to read too
much because it'll take too long.
Okay.
Hold on.
Let me get there.
Here it just says,
so I'm gonna start from 20.
It says, you are welcome at my house,
the old man said.
Let me supply whatever you need,
only don't spend the night in the square.
So he took him into his
house and fed his donkeys.
After they had washed their feet,
they had something to eat and drink.
While they were enjoying themselves,
some of the wicked men of
the city surrounding
surrounded the house
pounding on the door and
they shouted to the old man
who owned the house.
Bring out the man who came
to your house so we can
have sex with him.
Yeah.
Then, I mean,
that's the first confusing thing.
The next one is the owner of
the house went outside and said to them,
no,
my friends don't be so vile since the
man is my guest.
Don't do this outrageous thing.
Look,
here is my virgin daughter and his
concubine.
I will bring him out to you now,
bring them out to you now,
and you can use them and do
whatever you wish.
But as for this man,
don't do such an outrageous thing.
But the man would not listen to him,
so the man took his
concubine and sent her outside to them,
and they raped her and
abused her throughout the night,
and at dawn they let her go.
At daybreak,
the woman went back to the
house where her master was staying,
fell down at the door,
and lay there until daylight.
When her master got up in
the morning and opened the
door of the house and
stepped out to continue on his way,
they...
there lay his concubine,
fallen on the doorway of
the house with her hands on
the threshold.
He said to her, get up, let's go.
But there was no answer.
Then the man put her on his
donkey and set her out for home.
When he reached home,
he took a knife and cut up
his concubine limb by limb
into 12 parts and sent them
into all areas of Israel.
everyone who saw it was
saying to one another such
a thing has never been seen
or done not since the day
of the israelites came up
out of egypt just imagine
we must do something so
speak up are you going to
ask me the context of this
yes how can I answer I
don't remember judges 19. i
mean I don't remember the
context I don't remember I
read the whole thing and I still it's
Okay, so listen.
The time of Judges is they had no king.
So they were basically
already very corrupt.
It's before the time that
the kingdom started.
And they had no ruler.
So they were just basically
running around like crazy people.
And every now and then they
had a righteous person that
came out like Deborah.
But Judges was also one of
them was Samson.
So you had Deborah and you had Samson.
This is just the previous book.
This is right before Samson?
After.
Right after.
Okay,
so that gives you just a clue about
where we're at in terms of
their corruption.
So this is just a story of
just how horribly corrupt they were.
Because this is a Levite.
This is a priest.
So a Levite is a priest,
and he took a concubine
with him from Bethlehem.
And after she had been there four months,
her husband went to
persuade her to return.
And she took him into her parents' home,
and he gladly welcomed them.
So basically,
this is a dispute over this woman.
But why?
So, I mean, I just...
What's the question?
I'm just so confused.
It's so disgusting.
Why is God telling us the
story about these men who
want to have sex with the man?
Because he's telling you what he hates.
He's telling you how corrupt.
So remember,
read this in the context of
the fact that you read Deuteronomy.
And you read all those things.
Today I pronounce upon you
blessing and cursing,
blessing and cursing.
All the way from 22 to 30,
he's telling you,
I'm giving you the chance
to do the right thing here.
Don't create false idols.
Don't intermarry from these women.
Don't live in their land and
practice what they do.
But by the time you get to this point,
judges, that's what they do.
So he's basically pointing out, I mean,
you're shocked by the fact
that he's talking about homosexuality.
What do you think he says about us?
Like,
our story would be far seedier than
this one.
But what does the Bible tell you?
It's not just what happened.
It's what always happens.
So that, I mean, that part's shocking.
But then the men just send
out the women to go get raped.
I mean, why not?
They don't fight for them.
I mean, they don't say, hey, screw you,
number one.
I'm not giving you nothing.
That's how, that's how,
but don't we see that today?
Why are you so shocked?
You're the sex crimes detective.
Yes.
I'm just shocked it's in the Bible.
But that's the point.
And that's why people say, oh,
it might make no sense.
And it's so boring.
It's boring.
It's definitely not boring,
but it's basically teaching
us how debase works.
that's the word that really
applies and I don't know if
everybody knows what that
means but it's just the
vulgarity that just the the
lack of morality that is
reached amongst the people
okay then the final one
okay why why take the dead
concubine and cut her up
into 12 pieces and spread
her throughout israel well
he had to say he had to
take 12 pieces to send to
each tribe why because he
wanted to make a point
apparently like dexter I don't know
He's a ravaged killer and
wanted to make a point.
So he sent a piece to each tribe.
I'd have to look up the
commentary to find out the exact context.
I've been needing to do that all day.
I've been needing to talk
about it all day.
Yeah.
So Carrie says a woman had
no worth and a guest had a higher status.
Yeah.
That's how little.
And she wasn't a wife.
She was a concubine.
So she has even less status.
Disposable.
Like chattel.
Like they used to talk about slaves.
They were like property.
Same as a concubine.
It's like property.
I can do with it what I please.
It's like Kristi Noem's dog.
What?
You haven't been following that story?
No.
In her book.
Oh, she shot her dog.
She shot her dog.
Yeah,
it was just a dog that wasn't obeying.
Yeah.
The story has kind of changed.
Now she says the dog was
vicious and she did it
because she didn't want the
dog to bite her, whatever, kids.
But it's not that unusual.
Like she told us.
Yeah,
I'm not that shocked that this kind
of thing happens because
this is how it happens on a
farm quite often.
Yeah.
But people are so beside themselves.
But back to this story,
it's just kind of like that.
Like you're saying the human, the woman,
a concubine in particular,
is no better than the dog
in Kristi Noem's story.
Exactly.
Really?
Yes.
Less so.
He chopped her up into pieces.
And even his daughter.
He's saying he threw out the daughter,
too.
Yeah, we don't know what happened to her.
Did she get returned?
The story doesn't say what happened.
They just talk about the concubine.
Yeah.
It's horrible.
Absolutely horrible.
Shocking.
I was reading that.
I just, like, I walked out of the,
I walked out of the Starbucks in a daze.
Like, why is this happening?
I mean,
isn't the whole Old Testament like that?
I mean,
when I hear about the warriors
warring and chopping their
heads off and stealing
their booty and that kind of stuff,
that's just kind of like,
that I can accept, strangely enough.
But this was just so, you know,
come to our house and we'll have dinner.
have a little watch a little
tv and then these guys are
like banging on the door
hey send that man out now
you surprised the guy and I
go this story just took a
weird twist well by the
time we get to know what
does god do right he floods
the whole yeah he's had it
he's had it it's like you
guys are just disgusting
you're just disgusting I
want all of you wiped off
the earth starting over
It's crazy.
It's a crazy story.
It really is.
That was wacky.
It's not even as bad to me
as Abraham taking his son
up to sacrifice him.
I mean, sacrificing death is easy, right?
But sending your daughter to get raped?
Yeah.
That's horrible.
Yeah.
Carrie says... Upset about Gnome,
but they still eat steaks, lamb,
and medicine.
Yeah, exactly.
But a dog has a sacred status.
And they call it a puppy.
And she goes, it wasn't a puppy.
It was a dog.
It was a full grown dog.
That's where they go.
It was a sweet puppy.
Yes.
I was so soft.
Oh, I'm telling you,
I've had some dogs that
they probably should have
been put down right away in
the right in the, in those days.
Cause we dealt with some pretty bad dogs.
Um,
Yeah, that's just a shocking story.
I've been thinking about
that most of the day.
Her career is over, over the dog?
Yeah.
Really?
She was in the running for vice president.
I don't know if she can do it.
Yeah.
I like her too.
Because of the dog?
I've been watching Fox,
Faulkner Focus every day.
I haven't heard anything
about this dog story.
No, it's not them.
CNN and MSNBC.
Oh, I don't watch that story.
I still think it's going to be Vance.
I think it's going to be Tim Scott.
Nope.
Ain't going to be.
J.D.
Vance.
You think Trump's afraid of Scott?
I think he's a little intimidated by him.
Really?
I think possibly.
He likes people he can bully.
Trust me.
I know.
I worked for him.
Really?
Yes.
I don't think he's a bully.
He's a bully.
He's a strong leader,
and you have to be willing to take it.
He's a bully.
It's like Kelly the other day.
We were playing pickleball.
And the guy that I was
playing with was trying to
instruct Kelly.
And the guy wasn't that.
He was just very direct.
Yes.
Because he told Kelly to do something,
and he didn't do it.
And the guy looks at him and goes,
you don't believe me?
You don't want to try?
And it really turned Kelly off.
And I go, grow up.
Grow up.
Wait.
Welcome to the real world.
Put your big boy pants on.
He's thinking about going to the military.
I go, that's nothing.
That is nothing that you're
going to experience.
He's going to cry himself to
sleep every night.
Oh, my gosh.
But, yeah.
I think that Tim Scott, for me,
is better in a cabinet
position or something like that.
I just don't.
It's got to be a woman or a minority.
I don't think it would be a white man.
J.D.
Vance is a white man.
It's okay.
I don't see it.
I think we should bet.
What do you want to bet?
I don't know.
A week of massage.
Do I get everybody other than JD Vance?
No, you don't pick the right person.
I just have to be right or
wrong because I was just saying no.
I think we should do a VP pool.
Oh, that'd be good.
Let's do that.
We should set that up.
Tulsi Gabbard.
Yeah, she's gone on so many shows.
Yeah, but she's got a book out.
Oh, is that why?
Oh, she's everywhere.
I just watched her on Rogan.
She's really good.
Yeah.
Did you watch the whole three hours?
You couldn't make it through
the three hours.
I'm almost there.
I think I have like 10, 15 minutes left.
yep okay you're gonna land
this plane tulsi
I don't think so.
She's still got some... I
think Carrie has left the reservation.
I don't think they trust her.
She's too wild.
Carrie Lake.
I haven't seen her lately.
Yeah, but she's lost all of her lawsuits.
She's got a little bit of egg on her face.
It's not because it's not right.
It's hard to win those
things when you have nobody
as a conservative in power.
It's very difficult.
It's kind of like the lawfare.
Why do they do it in New York?
Why do they have a judge that has paid off,
that his daughter is
getting millions of dollars?
It's hard.
But their case is so bad
that they may not even be
able to win it with a full deck in their,
you know, a cheater deck in their hands.
It'll be interesting to see
how that turns out, right?
It's so bad.
All right.
People are saying, Kelly,
you sound like Trump.
People are saying.
But yeah, people are saying Tulsi Gabbard.
I still think it's going to be J.D.
Vance.
All right.
That's my pick and I'm not changing.
Okay.
Unless we find out that he
killed a dog or something.
Or chopped a concubine up into 12 pieces.
It's not bad enough you had
a concubine and that you
gave it to other people.
But then he had to chop it
up into 12 pieces.
That's how depraved.
That's the depravity of man
right there in a nutshell.
Carrie says, oh, Carrie,
you're supposed to agree
with me on everything.
Right?
What do you mean no pants?
Because you think it's
because he's a white man.
I don't think.
I'm not feeling a white man.
He's incredibly smart.
I think he was so tired of pants,
he wanted to throw pants from the train.
He was like, no way.
But it has to be somebody he can bully.
So I'm guessing a female.
Why do you say that?
I don't think it's it.
You need somebody.
Somebody has to be strong
enough to take the strong
personality of President Trump.
Right.
But it's still somebody he
has to be able to bully.
No.
Yep.
No.
I'm going to prove you the
two smartest people I know.
Not that the rest of you ladies are smart.
Are not smart.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
See?
But, yeah.
You'll see.
We'll see.
I feel very strongly about this opinion.
I've been rarely been wrong
for the last five years.
I've been right on everything.
Masks don't work.
The vaccine didn't work.
Oops.
Oh, no,
this one got taken off the YouTube.
Oh, come on.
Why did you do that?
You're the one who did it first.
We didn't mean that, YouTube.
Just as for some people, for some people.
Okay.
I told you.
See,
we've been trying to land this play
for five minutes,
and you would have not said that.
We could have edited it out.
You just listen to me.
Okay, let's pray.
We didn't get any prayer requests,
so we've got to make a
little ticker for prayer requests.
But I know a lot of the people's prayers,
so I'm going to keep saying those.
Okay.
And feel free to add some,
and then Andy will pray to
those when I'm done.
How's that?
sure okay dear lord thank
you uh thank you for your
word thank you for the fact
that it it is always timely
it is timeless it teaches
us about the past and tells
us about our future if we
just follow the bible lord
um it's all all the
instruction we really need
in this life lord
And thank you for making it
alive and active in our lives.
Thank you for making us believers, Lord.
And for all of those who do
not yet know you,
we ask that you touch them
and you reach them.
Our loved ones, our neighbors,
this country, Lord.
And as I've written in an article,
Hamas needs Jesus too, Lord.
Boy, do they.
And the Jewish people, Lord,
you're coming back for the
people that you call your
own and the land that is yours.
It's not Netanyahu's.
It's not the Rothschild's.
It is your land, your country, your people,
Lord.
And we ask that you give them saving faith,
that you come soon, Lord,
and save us all from the
wickedness that is filling the earth.
we ask for your healing hand
to be upon Eddie and Carrie
as they go through the
sicknesses and the restoration,
the recovery that they're
hoping that will come by your mighty hand,
Lord.
And we ask for saving faith
for our loved ones that do
not yet know you.
And we ask for saving faith
for our politicians, Lord,
because as we're watching
celebrities come to you
that we would never dream of
to become believers,
that same thing we pray for
all of our leaders, Lord,
whether everything from
Gavin Newsom to Joe Biden
to come to saving faith in
the real Jesus Christ,
because that's the only
thing that can save our
country now from destruction, Lord.
We love you.
We honor you with all that
we are and everything that we do, Lord.
It's in the mighty name of
Jesus that we ask all things.
Amen.
Good job, Stix.
