00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:06.040
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:14.160
the Theology Central podcast making Theology Central. Well, guys, I

3
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:21.719
have to admit it. I have to confess my last broadcast,

4
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:29.440
I got extremely angry. There was some extreme anger being

5
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.799
screamed into this microphone. If you heard the last broadcast,

6
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.240
if you haven't, go look, go listen to it about

7
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.320
a cultural cultural revolution. You can go listen to it.

8
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.560
By the time that's over, you will hear anger. You

9
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.119
will hear me expressing. You can hear how angry I was.

10
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:53.799
I was yelling, I was screaming, I was pounding this table,

11
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.240
I was knocking things off this table. I guess you

12
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.399
could almost say I lost it. So we need to

13
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.959
talk about my anger, and we need to talk about

14
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.840
well why I was angry, and well what we can

15
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.640
learn from it? All right, and we will do that

16
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:16.239
right after I say good afternoon everyone. It is Thursday,

17
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:20.719
February the twentieth, twenty twenty five. It is currently one

18
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.400
fifty eight pm Central time, and I'm coming to you

19
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.560
live from the Theology Central studio located right here in Albilene, Texas.

20
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.480
And at this very moment, I'm much calmer. I have

21
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.840
calmed down, I did eat some lunch, watched an episode

22
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:44.159
of Chicago PD, walked around for a few minutes, considering

23
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.439
what should or shouldn't I do. Should I turn on

24
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.319
the microphone, Should I talk about it? Should I offer

25
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.640
an apology? Do I need to offer an apology? Just

26
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.519
kind of went back and forth, and I decided. And

27
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.599
not only that, even even before I call down, while

28
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.599
I was still extremely angry, while it was still extremely upset,

29
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.719
there was there was at least a moment there I

30
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.360
thought about just deleting the episode. I mean, I mean

31
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.520
it was over an hour long. There was a part

32
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:15.919
of me that said, you know what, that did not

33
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.639
go the way I intended. I'm just going to delete

34
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.000
it and be done with it. But then there's a

35
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.000
part of me that, like, you know, it came across

36
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.800
as real, it came across. It demonstrates that you are

37
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.840
a sinner. It demonstrates that you are human, and there's

38
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.199
lessons to be learned in that. So let's just turn

39
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:37.560
on the microphone and talk about what happened, and then

40
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.719
see if you can use your failure, your sin, possibly

41
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.199
as a lesson for everyone else. I think sometimes look

42
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.680
my own personal opinion. And I know this may sound

43
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.280
like an excuse. Sometimes I think you can learn more

44
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.360
from people who who have sinned and acknowledged their sin

45
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.159
than from people who always try to approach everything as

46
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.080
if they've got it all figured out. I think sometimes

47
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.919
the more broken a person is, the more messed up

48
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.680
they are, sometimes the more you can learn. I don't know.

49
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.680
Maybe there's maybe that's there's truth in that. Who knows.

50
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.039
Maybe that's just me trying to justify my own sin.

51
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:19.000
We we could argue about that. But here's what happened. Now. First,

52
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.680
let me just set this up. One of the positive

53
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.479
things and one of the negative things. It's a double

54
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:32.479
edged sword here, right, is the way I do sermon reviews. Right,

55
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.000
I go into it blind. I don't know what's going

56
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.599
to happen. I have no clue, I have no idea.

57
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.520
So that makes it fun, That makes it organic. That

58
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.840
doesn't mean it doesn't come across as oh, I heard

59
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.199
this and this is ridiculous. Now let me tear it apart,

60
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.080
even though I've already heard it and rehearsed what I'm

61
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.919
going to say. But that seems like I have an agenda.

62
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.599
I went and found something that has what I disagree with,

63
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.840
and now I'm going to play it to tell you

64
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.680
how bad it is. Well, that's all rehearsed, that's all

65
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.639
set up, that has an agenda, right, So I think

66
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.280
there's a positive going into it blind then it's not rehearsed,

67
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.840
there is no agenda. I'm listening with you and we're

68
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.599
gonna find out what happens in real time. Right, So

69
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.560
there's some positive, But the negative is I don't know

70
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.079
what's going to happen. Right, I'm we may be listening

71
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.600
to something, reviewing something, and I'm like, well, I don't

72
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.680
really know what to say. I don't even know what

73
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.240
this is talking about. This is a total train wreck.

74
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.160
This is not even about the scripture they say it

75
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.759
was going to be about. They didn't even mention the scripture. Okay,

76
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.399
I don't know. We just wasted an hour of our time.

77
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.560
I mean that has happened multiple times. But there also

78
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.480
are times where I'm listening to something and I hate

79
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.040
to use this word. I hate to use this word

80
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.879
because people will see it in a negative People will say,

81
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.120
you know, I know, it's kind of borrowing the vernacular

82
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.079
of the culture. But sometimes I will hear something, and

83
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.720
I'm just gonna use the frame. It triggers me. I

84
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.480
don't like the word, but you know what is the

85
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.199
better way. It ticks me off. It frustrates me, It

86
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.000
irritates me, It makes me angry, it makes me mad,

87
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.639
and then I react in real time. Now, for those

88
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.199
who don't know me, for those who don't know me

89
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.360
and me, say, oh, he's overreacting. He's But if you

90
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.759
know me, you know that that's the way I am.

91
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.680
I mean, you can already hear how animated I typically talk.

92
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.720
But I when I'm reading a book, right, I can

93
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.120
be reading a book, and typically when I read, like

94
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.600
a novel, I tend to pace, and I will I

95
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.759
will like, I'll be talking out loud to the book.

96
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.800
And sometimes I'll read something in a book and I'll

97
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.519
get mad and angry and I'll be pacing around the

98
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.360
house yelling and screaming about it. And because I just

99
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:53.000
tend to be very my everything is worn on my sleep,

100
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.480
good or bad. Right, That's why I have a difficult

101
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.600
time if things are not going right here. I have

102
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.319
a hard time turning on the microphone, go microphone, going

103
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.839
good morning everyone, God bless you in today. A wonderful day.

104
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.879
I have a tendency to say, hey, today is trash,

105
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.160
today is garbage. Right, I have a tendency to you

106
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.439
can kind of tell now there's good and bad in that, right,

107
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.000
Because sometimes maybe you should kind of pull those emotions

108
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.360
off the sleep, maybe put them in your pocket. There's

109
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:25.120
a time and a place. But doing a podcast it's

110
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.240
also kind of therapeutic. But to be able to express

111
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.360
whatever you want, you get it out, you get out.

112
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.439
But when you when you're listening to a sermon and

113
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.759
all of a sudden something happens, and it's just I mean,

114
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.360
you don't have time to go let me process this.

115
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.800
You've got to react in real time. And well, what

116
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.680
the sermon we were reviewing. It's so frustrating because you know,

117
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.360
the sermon is about, you know, trying to understand cultural revolution. Okay,

118
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:59.680
that's that's fascinating. They mention Dietrich Bonhoeffer's you know, hypotheses,

119
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:05.160
his thesis on stupidity. All right, that's brilliant. That's fascinating

120
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.720
that they even brought it up. They even mentioned that

121
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.079
they did forty five minutes of teaching on Bonhoeffer's thesis.

122
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.519
All right, that sounds fascinating. I want to go find that.

123
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.480
So there was a lot of positives there, right, But

124
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.920
immediately there was some things being said that I was

125
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.800
a little confused by, like, wait a minute, so there's

126
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.639
a cultural revolution happening. That's all bad. But at the

127
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.959
same time it seemed to be implied that everything it implied,

128
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.439
not explicitly stated that, I guess everything Trump is doing

129
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.079
is good. And I was already like, okay, where is

130
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.000
this going? And then it and then it was weird

131
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.720
because it kind of turned into America it's basically a

132
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.000
nation founded on Biblical principles, and trying to really kind

133
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.079
of make America like, you know, it's this Christian thing.

134
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.480
Even though it did avoid saying it's a Christian nation,

135
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.720
it came really close trying to say it was built

136
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.600
on Biblical principle and trying to make all these arguments

137
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.439
about it. And then it kind of took a weird

138
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.600
turn because I was basically saying all the Founding Fathers

139
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.439
believed in God, all, you know, all the Founding Fathers said,

140
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.079
and was trying to make these claims about the Founding Fathers.

141
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.040
Then all of a sudden, it turns to Thomas Paine.

142
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.399
He was like, well, here was this really messed up

143
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.879
guy who didn't like Christianity has said all of this

144
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:22.480
bad stuff. However, when he died, and then they go

145
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:29.800
through the typical deathbed supposed conversion experience of Thomas Pain

146
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.879
on his deathbed, and as soon as he mentioned Thomas Pain.

147
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.759
As soon as he mentioned Thomas Pain, I wanted to

148
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.120
stop the dis sermon, turn on the microphone, and go, guys,

149
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.879
it's getting ready to happen. He's gonna give us the

150
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:53.600
mythological account of Thomas Pain supposedly realizing how wrong he

151
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:57.480
had been on his deathbed. And I almost wanted to

152
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.799
say that, but I didn't. I just I just I

153
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:04.879
just let it play. And then it started happening, and

154
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:11.759
I was like, this can't be occurring. So I got

155
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:18.480
very upset. Now when it comes to anger, and I'll

156
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.080
try to explain my anger here in a minute. One

157
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.600
of the things I have to remember is Ephesians four

158
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:35.720
twenty six, be ye angry, and sin not, let not

159
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.639
the sun go down upon your wrath. So I need

160
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.720
to be there's a time to be angry, don't sin

161
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.080
in that anger, And then there's a time then you

162
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.440
don't let the sun go down on your wrath. You've

163
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.399
got to work through it. So be angry, but don't

164
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.039
sin in the anger yet, don't let the sun go

165
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.240
down on your wrath. Kind of really three parts, if

166
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:00.399
you want to break it down. I don't know if

167
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:01.919
that's a great way to break it down, but it

168
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.080
really about three parts. And we'll talk a little bit

169
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.120
more about this verse in a minute, try to put

170
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.559
it in some context. Maybe maybe we'll come back to

171
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.320
it and do it as a devotional we'll see. So

172
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:14.799
I know that there is a time and place to

173
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.559
be angry. I know. I believe that to be true.

174
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.080
I believe that to be right. I believe there are

175
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.080
times that we can be mad and we can be angry,

176
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.320
and the Bible even calls for that, but at the

177
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.240
same time, we're not to sin in it. And there's

178
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.960
a fine line there, right, because we can always try

179
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.240
to justify that our anger is righteous, it's righteous indignation,

180
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.000
and sometimes though that's just us covering up the fact

181
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.679
that we handled ourselves in a sinful way. So did

182
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.399
I have a right to be angry? Well? I believe

183
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:57.720
that Christians utilizing someone's death and claiming that they said

184
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:02.320
things on their deathbed that eyewitnesses who were actually there

185
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.159
say never happened, did not occur. People who knew the individual,

186
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.679
people who were there, people who knew the individual, people

187
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:15.320
who were eyewitnesses say it did not happen. And yet Christians,

188
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.600
all of this time later making claims about how someone

189
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.120
died and what they supposedly said. That makes me angry.

190
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.240
Now you may not care. You may say, well, what's

191
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.320
the big deal. The big deal is we are not

192
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.559
to bear false witness. We are to put away lying.

193
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.000
We are to speak the truth. And you're talking about

194
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.480
a human being who died. We don't bring them into

195
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.159
our little ideological point that we want to make and

196
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.519
try to use them as propaganda. It's a human being,

197
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.519
don't I don't care who you are. You may hate

198
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.000
me and I may not like you, but guess what,

199
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.399
I still don't want to be making up stories about

200
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.799
what you said on your deathbed. Would you want someone

201
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.519
making up stories about something your wife said on her deathbed,

202
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:04.360
or your father, or your mother, or your child. And

203
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:07.240
as someone is using it for an ideological purpose to

204
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:12.759
make some point in a sermon, there's nothing Christian about

205
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.039
that there's nothing godly about that that makes me angry.

206
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.600
And it had nothing to do with the sermon we

207
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:21.120
were listening to. It has something to do with the

208
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:25.559
broader Christian world because I've heard that idea a thousand

209
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.600
times in churches. So it wasn't like, oh, I'm met

210
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.159
at this person because he said it. No, I'm met

211
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.679
at all of Christianity who has promoted the idea over

212
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:38.360
and over and over without any nuance, without any going. Well,

213
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.080
the story may not quite be that way. And there

214
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.840
are clearly people who were there and we had weren't

215
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.000
there who seems to call it into question. And the

216
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.759
minute it's called into question, well then it lose its

217
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:53.159
emotional impact, it loses it's sensationalism. Right, Well, we don't

218
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.120
even know if it happened. Okay, Well, then what's the

219
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.279
point of telling the story if we don't know. You're

220
00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.360
not You can't make a point on something that is

221
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:04.080
greatly inflict or there's a great dispute over it. It's

222
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:08.440
all of it is. There's great conflict over it. It's called

223
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:12.159
into question, then you don't use it for your propaganda.

224
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.840
They say, well, it's not propaganda, it's a sermon. Sermons

225
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:17.600
are a form of propaganda. Okay, give me a break. Okay,

226
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.320
we can get into a whole discussion about that. So

227
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.600
I I and you can hear it in my voice. Now,

228
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:25.960
I'm still angry about it. I'm just gonna be honest

229
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.320
with it. Still bothers me. But it's not about one church.

230
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:33.559
It's it's Christianity at large. I get mad when I

231
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:38.000
hear pastors say things about Satanism. Drives me nuts. Right here,

232
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:39.879
I got right here next to me. And the reason

233
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:44.480
I mention it, I have the Satanic Bible right here,

234
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.879
I guess. So sick of pastor saying things about it,

235
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.960
I'm like, what Satanism are you referring to? Are you

236
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.720
referring to some Satanism you saw on a television show,

237
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.799
a movie, something figment of your imagination. Are you talking

238
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.440
about the Church of Satan started by Anton Love They

239
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.320
because if you are, I got the Satanic Bible right here,

240
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.759
and the things you're saying are absolutely lies. Or when

241
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.639
people say things about the Book of Mormon, oh I've

242
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.039
got it right here. When people say things about Catholicism, Oh,

243
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.320
I got the Catholic Catechism laying right here behind me.

244
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.919
I don't care if it's a false religion. I don't

245
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.480
care if it's someone who's my enemy. We have a

246
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.960
responsibility to try to speak the truth, put away lying

247
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.799
and be accurate. Are we gonna always do right? No,

248
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.360
we're gonna mess up. We're gonna mess up. And now

249
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:33.960
you know what we do. Oh, we can own it

250
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:39.240
and correct it. That's all we can do. But it

251
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.200
makes me mad because it misrepresents, it destroys credibility and

252
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.519
this and my frustration with this has nothing to do

253
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.360
with this sermon. It goes back to being a teenager

254
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:51.919
in West Texas because back at the time when I

255
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:57.000
was a teenager, the Evils of Rock and Roll back Masking.

256
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.960
If you play the album backwards, it says worship Satan,

257
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.000
Sweet Satan. It says smoke marijuana. And you know another

258
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:06.639
one by the Dust by Queen, I think that had

259
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.919
the marijuana Stairway to Heaven by Zeppelin. I think that

260
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.759
had someting up something about Satan. And you're playing it

261
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.679
backwards and demons will come out of your speakers and

262
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.240
you're opening yourself to demon a possession and all of

263
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:23.080
this stuff. Well, you know, Friday Night I'm a teenager.

264
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:25.039
I may not have any money. Oh, but I knew

265
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.360
something I could go do for fun. I could go

266
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:29.320
find one of the local churches where they were doing

267
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.519
their little rallies on the evils of rock and roll,

268
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.279
because on Saturdays they were gonna have a bonfire and

269
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.200
burn records like they're in Nazi Germany. Okay, all right,

270
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.360
So I would always go and not to I never

271
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:41.519
went to the bonfires because I'd be too busy trying

272
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.600
to break under. I would have been running into the bonfire,

273
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.480
pulling the records out and then trying to take as

274
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:47.279
many as I couldn't get them to my car. Right.

275
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:49.879
But I would go to their little conferences and I

276
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:52.600
would just sit there and mock Christians. I would laugh

277
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.080
all day because they're quoting lyrics that they don't understand.

278
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:59.879
They're telling complete lies about the band. And it's just

279
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.080
and it's just like what you people, and I hate

280
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.440
to say it. Using Dietrich Bonhoeffer's you know thesis on stupidity,

281
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.039
you're stupid. You all claim to be Christians, you all

282
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.879
claim to believe in God about truth and honesty, but

283
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.320
you misrepresent this artist, and you misrepresent this song, and

284
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.200
clearly you don't understand the lyric. So it used to

285
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.080
bother me then, and it would bother me when it's

286
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:29.879
always bothered me when from the pulpit. Look from the pulpit.

287
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.879
We can make mistakes from the pulpit. We can get

288
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.799
things wrong from the pulpit. We can you know, say

289
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.840
things incorrectly in our lives. We can sin because we're sinners.

290
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:43.360
So we're all going to sin. I'm not talking for

291
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:45.960
people to be perfect. I'm not talking about and I'm

292
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.200
not saying that I'm perfect. I say it all the time.

293
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.360
I'm a degenerate with a microphone. Okay, I'm a sinner.

294
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.399
What I'm saying is when you prepare a sermon and

295
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:01.360
you're going to make dogmatic assertions about a song about

296
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:06.880
a musician. Remember all the nonsense we reviewed that Christian

297
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.400
thing about Taylor Swift and all the nonsense. Remember back

298
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.960
when Christians were running around Beyonce is a part of

299
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.039
the Illuminati. Beyonce is a part of the Illuminati. And

300
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.799
all these just radical claims, all the things that you know,

301
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.880
Obama gonna we were all gonna be made Muslims and

302
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.799
we're gonna shut down churches take away, our Bibles are

303
00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:27.759
gonna be put in FEMA camps. We're all gonna be microchips,

304
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:32.200
just on and on. That's the stuff that I'm talking about.

305
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:35.359
Those are when I visited a church here in Texas.

306
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.559
I've told the story a million times. They had a

307
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.960
petition there in the altar in the front of the church,

308
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.440
in the front of the pulpit, and wanted everyone after

309
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:44.640
church to come sign this petition to send to the

310
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.319
federal government because an atheist was trying to get Christian

311
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.799
broadcasting removed from the air. The whole thing was a

312
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:54.599
hoax started by atheists to make Christians look stupid. And

313
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.480
I'm just sitting there, going, you've got to be what

314
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.920
nobody takes. Christians don't take the time to check anything,

315
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.119
to correct anything, to verify anything. We just made. That

316
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.880
stuff makes me mad, it makes me angry. I'm not

317
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.359
directing it towards any specific person. I'm not directing it

318
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.519
towards any specific church. I'm saying in general, I have

319
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:20.759
been witnessing this stuff since I was a teenager. I

320
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.519
attended a church in Nebraska where they made all these

321
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.359
claims about the Promise keepers and all of these ridiculous claims.

322
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.599
I knew from the minute there's something wrong. So what now?

323
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.440
Back then, I couldn't just look anything up. I found

324
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.920
the phone number, contacted the promise keeper's headquarters, found out

325
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.640
that everything my pastor had said was a complete Why

326
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:44.160
did my pastor want to apologize? He got mad at

327
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.599
me for calling him into question, and how dare I

328
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.640
question him? Well, I'm gonna question you, buddy, because you

329
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:54.240
lied fifty times from the pulpit. Now see now I'm

330
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.799
not time. I'm talking about my old pastor, So I

331
00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:58.960
am directing it towards someone at that point. But it

332
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.960
was just it just ridiculous. I think he finally apologized

333
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:03.640
a little bit, but he did it in the most

334
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:12.160
sarcastic way. Someone here was upset because I said this, Well,

335
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.519
we know the promise keepers have false doctrine. Anyway, Well

336
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.559
they may preach about the false doctrine, don't make up lies.

337
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:23.519
So you hear my anger. My anger is not directed

338
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.319
towards a person. It's directed that Why can't from the

339
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:31.279
pulpit you get truth? We we yell and scream that

340
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:34.559
the world is full of lies, and they follow follow

341
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:38.759
the father of lies, But us we have truth. We're Christians,

342
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:43.000
We're enlightened. We know everything. God opens our eyes. I'm

343
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.440
so glad that I can see everything now while we

344
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.000
lie lie lie, Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie lie Lie. That's

345
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:57.920
when I get irritated. It's one thing to say Thomas

346
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.079
Paine taught this, I disagree with this, and then for

347
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:04.759
me to go, well, I kind of agree with Thomas

348
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.119
pain on that point. Okay, Now we just have a

349
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.559
disagreement on what you believe about a point. It's another

350
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:13.640
thing to say Thomas Paine said something and did something

351
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:18.200
on his deathbed. That's just not accurate. So I think

352
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:20.960
there is a place to be, a time and place

353
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:22.960
to be angry. I do believe that there is a

354
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.599
time and place to be angry. The issue is sin

355
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:36.519
not did I sin? Well? I think I sinned in

356
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:39.559
the sense to how angry I God? I mean that

357
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:43.920
it was. I mean I was furious. I mean you

358
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:49.000
still can hear it in my voice. So for not

359
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:55.039
handling my anger in a God glorifying, edifying way, I

360
00:20:55.079 --> 00:21:00.240
do apologize, and I make no excuses. Right, I'm not

361
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.000
going to point to, well, this was wrong, so I

362
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:05.559
justifies my wrong. You don't point to bad behavior to

363
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:09.559
justify bad behavior. So I was wrong, and I apologize.

364
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.359
I am going to leave the message there because well,

365
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:17.680
then it's a record of my sin publicly, and I

366
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:21.200
do apologize. I felt like I did not handle it correctly.

367
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:27.519
I allowed it to get too much, right because the

368
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:30.039
text says be angry and sin not. Let not the

369
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:32.559
sun go down upon your wrath. Well, that last part

370
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:35.279
I'm trying to fix right now, before the day is over,

371
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:38.720
before the afternoon is over. I'm addressing it. I'm acknowledging it.

372
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:42.759
I'm saying, hey, I didn't handle that very good. I

373
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.039
don't want to give place to the devil. And then

374
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.599
I look at verse twenty nine. Let no corrupt communication

375
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.559
proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good

376
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:51.799
to the use of edifying that it may minister Grayson

377
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.680
to the hearers. Did I let corrupt communication? Well, we

378
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.720
always think corrupt communication is just like, you know, explicit language,

379
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.759
but corrupt communication can be you know, when you're not

380
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.920
saying something that's building up or helping, you're just yelling

381
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.240
and screaming. I went on a full blown rant. Okay,

382
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:13.119
I mean, I mean I made Alex Jones look calm Okay,

383
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.599
if you've ever heard Alex Jones, you know, go on

384
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:20.039
one of his rants and then listen. Let all bitterness

385
00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:22.799
and wrath and anger and clamor and evil speaking be

386
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.359
put away from you with all malice. Be kind one

387
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.920
to another, tenderhearted for giving one another, even as God,

388
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:34.720
for Christ's sake, hath forgiven you. Now, I wasn't naming anybody.

389
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:38.319
I didn't even name the church. I didn't do anything

390
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.799
along those lines. I did not. But the same same

391
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:44.599
time and again, though, what people are going to misconstrue

392
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:47.319
is that I was attacking that I was attacking the

393
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:53.680
falsehoods in general, yelled from pulpits, and I just get

394
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.400
sick of it. I get sick of it. In twenty

395
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.519
twenty five, if you're going to stand behind a pulpit

396
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:04.240
and make a claim, you can fact check your claim

397
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:13.279
in five seconds. It took me five seconds to fact

398
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:20.759
check the claim live in real time, utilizing numerous different sources.

399
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:24.440
Now I could I could I need to? I could

400
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:25.759
I need it? I think there was a couple of

401
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.920
things that I need to verify. I think I even

402
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:30.200
read some quotes saying I need to verify the source.

403
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.119
And what was so confusing at least in the message.

404
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:41.720
Is his whole point was that basically all the Founding

405
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:44.039
Fathers are like these godly men who believed in God.

406
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:47.200
And then he goes to Thomas Pain didn't basically showing

407
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:51.680
Thomas Pain, you know, had definitely did not like Christianity.

408
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:54.200
And then but then I guess his point was well,

409
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:58.839
then even he, I guess recanted at the end. So see,

410
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:01.160
I didn't even don't really seem to make any point

411
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:06.160
from just a logical structural point of view, right. What

412
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.680
I wanted to get to is what his feelings are

413
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:12.200
of the cultural revolution that's occurring now where he thinks

414
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.359
it's headed. But I got frustrated and I got upset,

415
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.559
and I lost my ever living mind. There's no way

416
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.839
to get around it. When I got done, I mean

417
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.759
my heart was like boom boom boom boom boom. My

418
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:29.640
heart was pounding. I was still like I was almost

419
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:32.319
like shaking because I was so frustrated. And I know,

420
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:37.960
for you, like who cares, But for me it man,

421
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:42.000
I don't want anybody. And I said this, and there's

422
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:43.880
a little bit of truth to this. When I die,

423
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.279
I don't want Christians anywhere around me, near me, You say,

424
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:51.000
why not? Because who knows if they're gonna take something

425
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:54.359
I say and use it for their own propaganda. Now

426
00:24:54.400 --> 00:25:01.160
I know that's a little hyperbole, but man Alive and

427
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:04.480
even AI will show you how deathbed conversions was used

428
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:08.240
as propaganda, especially eighteenth and nineteenth century. Well, that that's

429
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:15.039
messed up, and that can happen on atheist side Christian side.

430
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:19.279
It happens because we're all sinners, right, So look, when

431
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:21.880
pastors do this, I understand they do it because they're

432
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:24.759
a sinner, like I do things that I do because

433
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.920
I'm a sinner, right, So I'm not asking for anyone

434
00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:30.880
any something bad to happen to someone. I don't even

435
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.160
want anyone to be censored. I want them to be

436
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.519
able to put forth their perspective. And I understand why

437
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:40.200
they do so because we're all sinners. But because we

438
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:42.960
know we're all sinners, then I think we always have

439
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:45.799
to check to go wait a minute, can I verify this?

440
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:47.960
Do it? I just need to double check it because

441
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:50.400
I could be wrong. Am I so caught up in

442
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:53.039
wanting to prove a point that I'm not ready to

443
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:57.240
verify the information because the information I verify may actually

444
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:06.440
disprove my point. Now there'll be trust me. It could

445
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:08.640
be fifteen minutes from now, it could be twenty four

446
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:10.319
hours from now that I'm going to say something in

447
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:13.480
a podcast that's factually in error, factually wrong, and I'm

448
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:15.400
going to have to apologize for it. I've done it

449
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.559
in the past, I'll do it, I'll do it in

450
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:21.119
the future. I try to verify, but sometimes I can

451
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:24.359
be wrong. I think I gave one time a quote

452
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.759
and attributed it to someone and come to find out

453
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:32.880
that that quote is commonly attributed to that particular person,

454
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.079
but it's not. Actually, there's no verifiable proof that it's true,

455
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:38.680
So it's a called into question. So what I should

456
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:42.359
have said is it is often said that this person

457
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:44.200
has said it, but we don't have any way of

458
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:55.519
proving it. So be angry. You know, it's hard for

459
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:58.160
a sinner to be angry and not sin. It really is,

460
00:26:58.319 --> 00:26:59.759
it really is. And we could almost look at this

461
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:03.799
as law. And you know, Jesus is uh, this is

462
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:06.920
what I'm told to be angry and sin, not Jesus.

463
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:11.480
Of course, for whatever the command is, Jesus always performed

464
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.720
the command right. So in Christ, I can be angry

465
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.119
and sin not because Christ's obedience to this is imputed

466
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.119
to my account. Because Christ walked into the temple, took

467
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:24.440
a whip, threw everyone out there. Clearly was anger there,

468
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:28.240
but he did not sin, and he did not let

469
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:31.319
the sun go down upon his wrath. He's the only

470
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:33.960
one who fulfills Ephesians four twenty six. If I said

471
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:39.440
five twenty six, I apologize for twenty six. He obeyed it.

472
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:45.559
I don't, and I failed. I got angry. I did

473
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:50.079
not handle it perfectly. I believe my anger was justifiable,

474
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:54.079
and I believe every I believe others of you should

475
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:57.000
have been more bothered by it. Most people will be like,

476
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.599
he got so mad? What were the most ridiculed thing?

477
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:04.799
Who really cares? If pastors give false information about it?

478
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:12.440
Who really cares? Right? So, yeah, I think most people.

479
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:14.200
I think that's how most people will take it. And

480
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:15.759
my thing would be I think it should bother you

481
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.039
a little bit more because I bet you, most of

482
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:21.400
you if you've ever heard the story about Thomas Paine,

483
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.039
you heard it in church, and you heard the Christian

484
00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:29.240
version of it without ever even knowing that's considered basically

485
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:32.319
not true. A fraud. But if you hear that, you'll

486
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:35.240
be like, oh, well, so what And look, if you

487
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:37.279
can do that, it's probably better that you can be

488
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.119
your way. I just don't understand how you can be

489
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:43.160
so apathetic. I don't get it to me. I just

490
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:47.759
want to scream. But maybe you maybe you're your apathy.

491
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:49.880
I need a little bit more of your apathy. Maybe

492
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:52.759
you need a little bit more of my anger. I

493
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:55.160
don't know. I just know I'm supposed to be angry,

494
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:59.440
but I am not to sin in it. And man alive,

495
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:03.240
did I get mad? Man alive? Did I get mad?

496
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:07.400
So I was gonna break down Ephesians five twenty six.

497
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:14.400
But just remember three parts be angry, sin not. Don't

498
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:17.200
let the sun go down upon your wrath. You gotta

499
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:21.200
get it. You gotta work through your anger and then

500
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:24.400
move forward. You can't just say or you give place

501
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:25.839
to the devil. And trust me, I don't need to

502
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:29.480
get place to the devil. He's got a permanent residence

503
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:32.279
right here inside of me, known as my sinful nature.

504
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.720
I don't need any more help or assistance with it,

505
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:39.039
because I commit sin all the time and thought and word,

506
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:45.319
indeed in desire. Okay, all over the place. I am

507
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:49.759
a degenerate with a microphone, and sometimes as a degenerate

508
00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:53.839
I do degenerate things like losing my ever living mind

509
00:29:54.240 --> 00:30:00.000
live on the air. So I apologize if you would

510
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:01.880
like to hear it. And some people say, well, if

511
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:04.200
you know that you didn't handle it right, why won't

512
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:06.599
you delete the episode? Well, because then if I just

513
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.599
delete the episode, I'm deleting the very like you know

514
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:11.279
what I'm saying, Like it needs to be there to

515
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:13.640
show what I did and then you can draw your

516
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:17.039
own conclusion, but to hopefully learn from it. Sometimes you

517
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:20.240
learn more from someone's failure than you do their success. Right,

518
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.720
David's failure is right there in the Bible. Peter's failures

519
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:26.079
right there in the Bible. Abram's failures are right there.

520
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.440
Failure is sometimes the way we learned. So my failure

521
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:31.519
is right there for everyone to hear. And when you

522
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:34.279
hear it, you'll be like man alive, and there'll be

523
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:36.160
people who are not will not be happy with how

524
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:43.359
angry I got. So this, really, I haven't even looked

525
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:45.799
on YouTube. Oh boy, do I look on YouTube? Hang on,

526
00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:48.799
I'm afraid to look. I bet you there's already a comment.

527
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:51.079
Let me look here, Let me look here. I was

528
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:53.640
going to break down all of Ephesians, but I'm not

529
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:55.480
going to do so right now. Hang on, let me look,

530
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.519
let me look, let me look look. Okay, good, there's

531
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:04.519
nothing currently that's good. That's good. All right, we will see.

532
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:07.720
I haven't checked my email inbox either, so we will see.

533
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:10.279
But the point is now, if anyone says anything, I've

534
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:12.920
kind of gotten ahead of it. So and if if

535
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:16.079
someone gets mad at me then I apologize, then it does.

536
00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:18.759
People will then question the sincerity of your apology. You

537
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.000
only apologize because people got mad at you. So maybe

538
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:24.079
here then people will understand it. I'm trying to be

539
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:27.759
sincere here. I think my anger was justifiable, but I

540
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:31.480
think my anger then probably crossed a line. I'm saying

541
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:33.640
it did cross the line, and then it went to

542
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.039
I was a little out of control, so therefore it

543
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:39.279
was a sin. Now I'm not gonna let the sun

544
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:42.440
go down upon it. I'm acknowledging it, confessing it. And

545
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:46.359
all I can do is say tomorrow's a new day. Well,

546
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:49.160
I know what you're saying. You should say you'll do better.

547
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:51.880
I can't promise you I'll do better. The same sinful

548
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.599
nature that produced maybe handling handling my anger wrong in

549
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.759
this situation will be just as present in me as

550
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:02.400
it was today, So that would be a complete and

551
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:06.880
total lie. All right, thanks for listening. I was gonna

552
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:10.000
break down Ephesians. Maybe we'll do it at a later time,

553
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:11.960
but I think you got the three parts right there.

554
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.240
I keep saying five twenty six. It's Ephesians four twenty six.

555
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:20.680
You may want to write that down. Be angry, send not,

556
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:27.839
let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Have

557
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.240
you been angry today? Maybe there's some things they should

558
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:35.279
make you angry. Have you send in your anchor today, Well,

559
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:38.519
you need to confess it and whatever you're angry about,

560
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:42.960
let's get that worked through before you go to bed.

561
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:47.559
Thanks for listening. God bless
