Your Bibles and I will look over to the book of Malachi chapter number two Malachi chapter 2 and when you find your place if you would honor God's word with me will read verse 10 down verse number 17, Malachi chapter number two in our study through the book of Malachi. This is a safe grade for chapter book. It ends the Old Testament never read Malachi probably do it within 1520 minutes setting of Europe modest reader speed wise so encourage you to do that just kind it is an overview of it and each week you nominally preaching on Malachi's you can just keep reading ahead. So Malachi chapter number two verse 10 down verse 17 the Bible says, have we not all one father is not one God created us. Why do we go treacherously every man against his brother by profaning the covenant of our fathers Judah have dealt treacherously and abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem for Judah had profaned the holiness of the Lord, which he loved and had married the daughter of a strange God, the Lord will cut off the man that doing this the master and the scholar out of the tabernacles of Jacob and him that offer than offering them to the Lord of hosts. This heavy done again covering the altar of the Lord, with tears, with weeping with crying out, insomuch that he regarded not the offering anymore, or receive it there with good your hand you say wherefore because the Lord have been witnessed between the and the wife of values against whom thou has dealt treacherously, thou has says it is she that I companion and the wife by covenant and did not me and did not he make one yet. Had he the residue of the spirit in wherefore one that he might seek a godly seed therefore take heed to your spirit but not in Lebanon deal treacherously against the wife of his youth for the Lord God of Israel say that he hated putting away her that that refers to a divorce. God hates divorce for one cover violence with his garment, say for those therefore take heed to your spirit that you do not treacherously yet weary the Lord with your words you say. Where have we wearied him when you say everyone knew of evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighted in them, or where is the God of judgment. Father, we thank you for your work tonight as we study this passage.

I know the language sometimes can be a little bit confusing at first read, but I pray that you would give clarity as we study through this and that you would just turn the light onto your Scripture to the soles of your people got up for you. Give us wisdom and understanding.

You are our wisdom. Your are light in our truth and our salvation we come tonight to worship you. We give you this time. Some have worked long days and long hours and risen early. We thank you for their faithfulness to be here be with the men's class. The ladies classes. The teams classes. The kids classes and all the hundreds of people that are throughout the services tonight. I pray that you would bless each one of them the souls of the saved and hard to be sanctified in their walk with you less now as we study your word.

We ask it in Christ's name and God's people said amen you may be seated. This evening last week we looked at the first half of Malachi chapter number two in a message that was entitled unfaithful leadership we saw God rebuking the spiritual leaders of the nation of Israel for being a terrible example to the nation. Anybody ever had a bad example for a boss or leader some sort in your life. Maybe even a coach or somebody that was a review it and it can really be discourage again. You look up to.

Then you expect them to set a certain example due to do things correctly, and when they begin to get off and you like men. That's not right that's you shouldn't talk that way you should behave that way it I remember I coach in football he would start didn't work out than he needs are thrown out a lot of language that was not okay with a lot of the guys in Zeman and I remember we talked to music achieve.

You really need to set an example, the way you you you converse and I was See Where Somebody Guys Went to Church with Us in and so the Codes It Okay If I Ever Say Customer Get on the Did 10 Push-Ups When He Did That He Earned Our Respect and It Was like the Next Day Is like Today's Man He's Light Intimacy Drop like Four Words on Me He Just Let It out at the Enemies like Ourselves and He Got You and It Just Earned Our Respect. We Were like This Guy Is Will Play for You We We Don't Expect Everybody to Be Perfect, but You Need Really Set a Good Example and and and If You Do Wrong, You Should You Should Confess That an Unknown up to That and so It's Been Said, Everything Rises and Falls on Leadership. That's True in the Business World That's True Also in the Sports Arena. It's True in the Family. That's True in the Spiritual Realm. Leadership Must Be Right for Any Company to Be Successful Family to Thrive Team to Be a Winning Team or a Church to Be What It Needs to Be in the Right Tragedy in the Day of Malachi Was a Lack of Spiritual Leaders to Lead the Nation in a Way That Honored God. Instead of Offering God. Their Best Sacrifice, Which God Called for Because He He Was the past and in the Sacrifice Reflected the God They Were Worshiping. They Were Bringing God Animals That Were Sick and That They Didn't Even Want That.

There Were the Leftovers and so They Were Saving the Best for Them Self in Giving God Their Leftovers. They Were Saying That Serving God in Chapter 1 Verse 13 Was a Weariness to Them Instead of Being a Blessing to Serve God. It Was a Burden That Was Something That Was Problematic for Them Therefore Offering Their Giving God Sickly Animals Instead of Their Best Really Just Reflected Their View of God, God Asks for the First and Best Because He Is the First Best. I Think Whatever We Give Our Greatest Sacrifice to Shows What We Worship Most What We Sacrifice Most for Shows What We Elevate the Highest That Make Sense Because It's What We Give up the Most for so God Says You Need to Give up the Most for Him Because He Is Our God in Our Savior. Not Not for God's Sake. It's for Our Sake, That We Might Honor Him. God Doesn't Need Anything from Us like What Is He Need the Heavens, His Throne, the Earth Is His Footstool by Facets of God Says, I Would Never Have To Repay Anybody Anything Because I Am the Owner of It All. God Can't Use Something Because It's His in the First Place, so, so God Asks for the Best Because He Is the Best in Giving God.

Last Place in Our Lives Reveals God Is Last in Our Hearts and so As You Think about What Your Offerings of Your Time, Talents, Resources, Your Mind, Your Heart, Your Love. What Is It What Is It Show about the Value of God.

If Somebody Says I Don't Have Time to Read the Bible. I Don't Have Time to Pray. I Don't Have Time to Be in Church.

I Don't Have Time to Think about God or to Serve God, or Do Anything for the Things of God. What Is That Reflecting Reflects, They Worshiped Himself Because We Do What We Value and What Were Doing Is What We Value. Instead of Saying I Value God Most and I Want to Serve Him on Valuing Myself and I'm Sitting on the Throne of My Heart Because If I Can't Find Time Forgot. I'm Too Busy to Pay 68 Hours Away, but I Just Don't Have Time for You Guys Is What We Can Change That Hundred 68 Hours of You like so in Chapter 2 God Rebukes the Priest with Her Terrible Example Which Was Causing a Nation to Fall into the Same Sinful Behavior. Their Low View of God Calls the Nation to Have a Love You've Got Me When You're Spiritual Leaders Are Honoring God What You Think the People Are Going to Do Their Lack of Holiness Calls a Nation to Be on Only Their Sin, Because the Nation to Be Sinful Very Leaders Who Were Supposed to Bring People Closer to God Were Actually Bringing People Farther Away from God. I Think Tonight As We Look at Our Lives, Dad and Mom and Grandparents and and in Younger Folks As Well.

Are We Setting a Godly Example a Ride Example to the People That Were Influencing What Kind of Influence Are We Were Splashing Our Influence on People Every Single Day. The Way We Talk Our Attitudes How We Carry Ourselves the First Half of Chapter 2 Is a Rebuke to the Spiritual Leaders of This Nation. In the Second Half Is a Rebuke to Those Who Are Following Their Poor Leadership. So You Write You God Comes in and He Rebukes the Leaders First Because Again God Places People in Leadership and in Their Going to Be the First Ones God Talks to These Also Going to Talk to the People That Were Following Them Drill Anatomy · Talk to First, Where Art Thou, Eve, Zoe Said This Is Where Art Thou Adam and Judy Talk to Be Talked Out Of Adam What Have You Done in and He's like It's a Woman You Gave Me.

I Am Not Even in This so so Good, but He Was. He Held Adam Accountable First and Then He Went to Eve, but He Did Get to Eat so What You Need to Understand That If I Lead This Church in a False Way If I Started Teaching like False Things God Would Deal with Me First, but Would Also Deal with You If You Follow Those False Teachings That Make Sense and and His Parents You Know We Were to Be Held Accountable First.

Dad's God Will Come to You First in the Home and the Mom Than the Rest the Family He Buddies Going to Get to Everyone like Everyone's Going to Have To Give Account and That's What We Find Here Is in the First Nine Verses He Deals with the Leadership and Then in the and from Verse 10 down to 17.

He Begins to Direct the Attention to the People. So Tonight Have Entitled This Follow the Leader, and That's What They Were Doing Is Following the Wrong Leadership but the Number One the Treachery among the People.

Malachi 110 He Says, Have We Not All One Father. His Father Here Refer to His Father Refer to Some Believe This Speaks of the Fatherhood of Abraham over the Entire Jewish Nation.

Verse 1011 Seems to Point the Reference to God. If You Compare Verse Number 11. It Says That He Compares the True God to Foreign Gods and so It Seems Very Clearly That Verse 10 Would Be Referring to God in the S and in the Reference of Father Also. God Has Already Referred to Himself in Verse Number Six As Their Father.

In Malachi 1 Verse Six Says God Said If I Be a Father, Where Is My Honor.

So Malachi Here Is Not Teaching That Everyone Born Is in the World Is a Child of God.

Jesus Made Clear That Only Those Who Are Saved Are Children of God and in John Chapter 1 Verse 12 It Says, but As Many As Received Him, to Them Gave He Power to Become the Sons of God, Even to Them That Believe on His Name. Notice What Verse 13 Says, Which Were Born, Not of Blood nor of the Will of the Flesh, nor of the Will of Man, but Who Are They Born of Your Born of God. First John 31 Behold What Manner of Love the Father Has Bestowed upon Us That We Should Be Called the Sons of God so so the Jews Said to Jesus in John 841.

We Have One Father, Even God, Though God Is the Father in a General Sense of All Creation Because the Fatherhood of God and a General Sense, Refers to God As the Creator of All Things. He Is the Father of Creation. You Could Say but Here Malachi Speaking of God As the Father of the Jewish People. He Is Their Covenant God, He Is There. They Are His Covenant People and so the Question Assumes an Affirmative Answer.

Have We Not All One Father Is Not God, the Father of the Nation and People of Israel and the Answer They Would Say Is Yes and Then He Asked the Second Question Have Not One God Created Us in Verse 10. This Again Assumes an Affirmative Answer and Then It Would Say Yes When God Has Created Us. It Also Supports the Father Mentioned Previously Is Also God Because It's Highlighting Him As the Creator and That Second Question Now in the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32 Six Moses Puts It in That Same Kind of Language He Says Is Not He Thy Father That Had Bought the Has He Not Made the so the Point of These Two Questions Is to Drive Home the Sinful and Foolishness of What the Nation and People Were Doing against Each Other What He Saying Is If Were All under the Fatherhood of God As a Nation Are All Brothers and Sisters United in God. In This Covenant Relationship and Were All Created by God, Why Would We Deal Treacherously with Each Other on the Same Team Were All Children of God Were All in and in This Covenant, Children of God, I Should Say under That Covenant, but You Say, Why Would We Deal Treacherously. That's What He Goes on to Say, Why Do We Deal. Why Do We Deal. Notice He Puts Himself in That. Why Do We Deal Treacherously Every Man against His Brother by Profaning the Covenant of Our Fathers Were Treacherously There.

It's a Word That Means Being Deceitful, Being Unfaithful Need to Know That Treachery There Is His Deceitfulness and Faithfulness and What They Were Doing Is Highlighted in Verse 11, They Were Divorcing the Wife of Their Youth and Marrying Idolatrous Foreign Wives, Wives of Other Nations That Serve False Gods They Were Divorcing Their Very Wives That They Been Married to so They Could Go out in Be with Other Women.

This Was an Evil Act of Deceit and Unfaithfulness to Their Wives. The Entire Nation Which Was Their Family and It Was a Violation against God. They Were Sitting against Their Wife, They Were Sinning against Their National Family and They Were Sinning against God, the Covenant of Their Father's Reef Here Is Speaks about It's It's Forbidden to Marry Someone Who Is of Another Faith, Another Religion Is Denied Knowledge or Marrying Idolatrous and and and and That Was a Wrong Thing. The Bible Says in the Old Testament As Well As in the New, and so Friends We Need to Understand That When Someone Chooses to Sin and Comparing to This Example in Malachi 2 Chooses to Leave Their Spouse for Another Person. The Sins Are Extremely Grievous. If Somebody Chooses to Leave Their Current Spouse for Another Person. First of All, They Violate the Covenant of Marriage. They Made with Their Sprouts.

They Broke Their Marriage Vow. This Is Extremely Sinful and Will and Secondly They Sin against Their Church Family. They Chosen to Sin Because They're Part of a Church Body That They Brought Sin Now into the Body. First Corinthians Chapter 5 Highlights How Bad That Can Be. And Thirdly They Sin against God.

They Violate God's Laws and God's Word so Christians Who Think That They Sin and They Say Well It Only Affects Me Your Bread Somebody Say That Only Affects Me.

No Way. It's It Has a Huge Ripple Effect When We Sin, We Want to Minimize the Consequences. But the Consequences Are Usually Greater Than What We Ever Realize That's Why It's Essential Essential Essential like to Say to Apply the Verse That Is Mentioned in Proverbs 2813 Says He That Covers His Sins Shall Not Prosper If You Try to Cover Your Sin and Act like It's Not a Big Deal and Hide It from People You're Not Going to Be Prosperous in the Eyes of God, or in Life Is Says but Whoso Confesses and Forsaken If There Is Not Just a Confession of the Sin, but There's a Forsaking of the Sin Them Shall Have Mercy in Our Daily Bread.

There Is an Entry on Malachi Chapter 2 on This Passage It Was Entitled a Sad Split Was Interesting. I Thought I Would Share with You Said the Drama Played out in a Nest of Bald Eagles Monitored by a WebCam Beloved Evil Family Was Viewed by Many on the Internet Was Breaking up after Raising Several Offspring This This Is over Seasons and Seasons or Years of People Watching These Eagles Mother Again Laid New Eggs in the Spring within a Young Female Bald Eagle Invaded Their Happy Home When Dad Started Cavorting with Her Mom Disappeared and the Life in the Abandoned Eggs Died in Internet Chat Room Questions and Accusations Flew Wildly, Everyone Who Love the Pair Was Distraught Biologist Warned the Amateur Eagle and for the Enthusiast Not to Attribute Human Value to Birds, but Everyone Did. We All One of the Original Couple to Reunite Everyone Seem to Know the Family Unit Was Sacred.

These Are Birds As Chat Room Members Express Their Sadness. I Wondered If They Knew That God Feels Much the Same Way about Human Family Breakups Also Wondered about Myself When I Feel More Sadness over the Eagles and over the Fractured Human Families in My Community.

Clearly I Needed to Revise My Priorities Here. Malachi 2 We See God's View of Marriage, It Symbolizes His Covenant with His People. He Takes It Very Seriously As We Should Know People Can Get More Upset over Animals and They Can People, but There's Something in Us That Says Hey. That Shouldn't Happen. That's Not Right.

He Says in Verse 11 Judah Have Dealt Treacherously. This Is How God's Defining This Again Treacherously to Betray Trust. One Who Was Unfaithful. It Spoke of Someone Who Is Actually a Traitor. Notice God Repeats the Statement against Them.

Repetition Is How Jews Would Express Emphasis like When We Want to Express Emphasis like How You Would Emphasize Something If You Write Somebody a Letter, You Do You! You Underline It You Capitalize It You Put in Bold Unit Only When We Do These Kind of Things Jews Didn't Do That What They Would Do Is They Would Just Say It Again in a Day They Would Repeat It. That's Why That's Why You See This in the Bible Low, Whoa, Whoa, Holy, Holy, Holy. It's a Way of Emphasis and in and so What You Find Here Drought Malachi. The Second Part Is God Repeating This Statement Five Times Verse 10.

Why Do We Deal Treacherously Every Man against His Brother. Verse 11 Judah Have Dealt Treacherously. Verse 14 the Wife of My Youth, against Whom Thou Hast Dealt Treacherously Verse 15.

Let None.

Deal Treacherously against the Wife of His Youth. Verse 60 Therefore Take Teachers That You Deal Not Treacherously Only This Is God Is like Understand Faithfulness Is a Big Deal to God but Don't Be Unfaithful. Don't Be a Traitor. Don't Break Your Covenants Stay Committed. He Says Judah Have Dealt Treacherously. Verse 11 Goes on and Says, and an Abomination Is Committed in Israel and in Jerusalem the Word Abomination Is Something That Is Disgusting.

It's a Bore of Warrants Is Repulsive. This Is How God Feels about Our Sins. We Discussed the Repulse God in the Old Testament, God Declares Things like Idolatry, Homosexuality, Beast Reality, Offering Children to Sacrifice Ritualistic Prostitution, Dishonest Business Dealings. Sacrificing Defective Animals and Things like This to Be an Abomination to God.

They Were Disgusting to God. They Were a Born Repulsive to Him and so Is This for Judah Have Profaned the Holiness of the Lord, Which He Loved and Have Married the Daughter, It Says of the Strange God. Their Senate Says in Verse 11, Was Profaning the Holiness of Yahweh L ORD Refers to God's Covenant Name so It's Yahweh in the Hebrew There There Profaning God's Holiness to Profaned Means to Treat Something As Though It's Not Holy. It's the Idea of Blasphemy When You When You When You Take Something the Bible Talks about Honor. The Word Honor Is Is Is Is a Root Word Could Vote in the Greek or Hebrew and Its Mean Something That's Heavier, Weighty, Something That Has We Say Today, You Know Boy That Was Really Heavy What They Said It Would Mean like It Carries A Lot Of Weight It in and If Somebody Is Dishonoring You Your Saving You Treat Me Pretty Light Right Now Not Taken Serious and What You When You Talk about Their Not Giving Any Way to Your Words and in God Says That Judah Is Taking the Holiness of God Very Lightly There Profaning It There There Treating Something That's Sacred with Abuse Their Taking Something That Is Holy and Treating It As Though It's Something That's Just Commonplace, and It Says That the They Have Profaned the Holiness of the Lord It Says Which He Loved. Now, No Different Commentators Debate on This Which He Loved. Who Is He Who Is He Referring to Their If This Is Speaking of Israel Means That They Have Profaned God's Holiness, Which They Once Loved.

There Which Would Mean Now There Apostates If They Hear Verse 11 Refers to God.

It Speaks of Israel Profaning the Holiness of God, Which God Loves and God Greatly Values His Holiness, Which Is Probably What Is Meant Here so Judah Have Profaned the Holiness the Lord Which God Loves God Loves His Holiness and You're Treating It Is Common. Psalm 11 Verse Seven Says for the Righteous Lord Loveth Righteousness.

These Kind of Statements Are Set throughout the Bible so Notice How God Refers to These Wives Who Were Mirroring Who They Were Mirroring in Verse Number 11. Notice the Import of That Says and What Were They Doing Is Is and Has Married the Daughter of a What You Strange Gods Have Daughters Give You the Answer. I Do Know They Don't.

So What Is the Bible Likens of the Worshiper of an Idol to Being the Offspring of That Idle the Worshipers and That's Why I Believe Verse Number 10 Is Clearly Talking about God, Have We Not All One Father Is the Father of the Nation and in and You're Marrying Children of Other Fathers Spiritually Speak That Make Sense so God Had Warned against Intermarriage with Unbelievers. Deuteronomy 7 Says Neither Shalt Thou Make Marriages with Them by Daughter.

Thou Shall Not Give under His Son nor His Daughter Shalt Thou Take to Thy Son for They Shall Turn Away Thy Son from Following Me That They May Serve Other Gods, so Will the Anger of the Lord Become against You, and Destroy the Seven God and Wonderment. Deuteronomy 6 Don't Do That, Don't Marry Unbelievers. Like If You're a Christian and You're Married to Nonbeliever You Need to Stay in That Marriage Bible Tells Us First Reviewed Seven That If You're Married to Number Safe and in and They're Willing to Stay Married and You Stay Married If They Want out There like at Your Christian.

I Don't Want to Stay Married and Want to Get out.

I Hate Jesus I Don't like You and in the Bible Says It Has Actually Come in the Greek It Says Let Them Go. You Have To Let Them You Have To… God Wants Peace. You Gotta Let Them Dip and Then in That Case, You're Free to Remarry. Biblically Speaking, Is Anytime the Bible Gives an Allowance to Be Divorced, Gives It Allowance to Be Married. Seven. God Hates Divorce.

Yes, He Hates Divorce, but You Can't Force Someone to Stay in a Marriage If They Want to Leave You Because You're a Christian, Then You Can't Control That in the Bible Says Thing and You Have That Freedom, but the Bible Tells Us That If You're That If You're Not Married, That You're Not Supposed to Marry an Unbeliever, nor Should You Marry Somebody Who's a Casual Christian It's Not Loving Jesus. Listen to Second Corinthians Chapter 6, Verse 14 Says Being Not Unequally Yoked Together with Who Unbelievers. For What Fellowship Hath Righteousness with Unrighteousness, What Communion Hath Light with Darkness. What Concorde of Christ with Delilah. What Part Is He That Believe It with an Infidel Infidel Just Means an Unbeliever. What Agreement Hath the Temple of God with Idols for You're the Temple of the Living God. As God Has Said, I Will Dwell in Them and Walk in Them and I Will Be Their God and They Shall Be My People. Wherefore God Says Come out from among Them and Be Separate, Say, the Lord, and Touch Not the Unclean Thing in Our Receipt You This Picture Being Unequally Goes Back to the Book of Deuteronomy Chapter 22 Verse 10, Where God Says Don't Joke a Donkey with a Oxidant They're Not the Same Animal and Oxen Was Considered a Clean Animal Donkey Was Considered an Unclean Animal That's the Picture That Is Pulling from There. Also Have a Debit Different Temperament in Every Different Strength. Oxen Are Little More Powerful Than a Donkey.

So, in What Would Happen.

They Wouldn't Plow Right It Wouldn't Work Because You Have an Oxidant Has the Ability to Do Things That Donkey Can't Keep up with and They Would Be Snipping at Each Other More Than You Know It and It Just Wouldn't. It Wouldn't Work so Silly Saying Don't Don't Joke Them in Any Any Brings That into the New Testament at the Church Accordingly Says Hank Don't Be Unequally Yoked Together with Unbelievers. Somebody Says Well I Really Love That We Need to Love Jesus More. You May Think You Love Them and and and and Maybe You Do Have Strong Affection for Them, but but I Can Tell You That Obedience to God Is Always the Right Thing to Do. You Don't Want to Get Married to Somebody That's an Unbeliever for the Number One Reason That You Want Your Life to Honor God and I Can Tell You in the Life That I Have Lived over These Years of Counseling People. One of the Greatest Burdens That I Deal with over These Years Are People Who Been Married to Somebody Who Is Not Saved and in in and They Love Jesus and in They Want to Talk about Jesus, but They're Not Allowed to Talk about and Then They They Don't They Don't Want Somebody's Sins, in Their Home but That Person Feels Okay with in There like I'm Not Okay with That. It's Just Constant Friction. Whatever Feelings You Think You Have Those Things Begin to Fade.

Love Is a Choice. It's Not a Feeling. We Know That, but I Can Tell You When Your Love Is to God and They Don't Even Love God and Their of the Father the Devil According to the Bible There Not a Child of God. I Can Tell You Because of Some Problems. Now If You're Married and You're a Christian and They're Not a Christian, You're Not Your Job Is Not to Preach to Them Every Day. Okay You Don't Preach a Sermon to Them Every Day, You Need to Be Saved Come to the Altar. That's Not the You Know What You Need Is You Need to Love Them, You Need to Be an Example to Them. You Need to Just like If You're Working with a Coworker. You Need to Be Kind and Generous, You Should Be the Best Wife Ever Should Be the Best Husband Ever and and and and You Should Be Such a Light to Them That It Would Cause Them to to Say You Know What I Is There Something Different about You and Use White's Questions Don't Make Statements, Use Wise Questions When You Approach Them about Things Don't Don't Preach It, Don't Preach It. Somebody in That Setting. It Just Makes Them Harder.

It Turns Them off and If You If Your Lady Here and You're Married to Somebody Who's in Unbeliever We Have Some Godly Women in Our Church That You Give You Some Great Counsel so Please Come and Let Me Know and I Could You up with That Situation to Where You Could Talk to Another Lady That Gives You Some Guidance and Counsel and That We Have Some Great Ladies in Our Church. They Could Do That As Well As If There's Guys Here That You Would Need Some Counsel. Just Let Me Know and so You Don't Want a Way to Those Waters Alone. You're Not Alone. Just Know That and so and in It Again, You Could Be Married to an Unbeliever. There, the Sweetest Kindest Person. It Doesn't Mean There Always a Not Moral and Then You Can Be Married to Christian It Could Be a Real Growth Bad Person Having Some Sense and Not Not Enjoyable to Be with so but That the Ideas You Want to Be with Somebody That That Is in Love with Jesus.

There's Nothing More Grand Than When You Are Lined up with Somebody You Love the Same Lord You're Living the Same Life.

You're on the Same Direction.

You Can Raise Your Kids Same Focus and It Is in the Same Direction. That's the Direction You Want to Get in. So in in in in Don't Think You're Going to Do Missionary Dating. I Was a Youth Pastor for Five Years and Kids Would Say Well I Think I Can Lead Him to Christ. I Just Got It to Some of the Time. You Know the Warm about What That Mission Field Never Got a Mission for Survey of the No No No No You and We Do Think We Should Talk to Your Kids about These Kind of Things Is Important. Well, I Really like Him and I Really like or Whatever and in and Have Some Guidelines Don't Get Should Be Having Boyfriend Girlfriend Date and Kinda Mentalities When There 10 Years Old 12 Years Old 18 Years Ago and I so over to the Owner on the Rabbit Trail This Thing. God's Judgment against Treachery. Look What He Says in Verse 12, the Lord Will Cut off the Man That Do with This Is God's Response This. He Got Cut Them off Cut off Refers to Death, Often in the Old Testament. It Also Can Refer to Being Removed from God's Covenant Promises and People That You Can Be Removed from the Line of God's People.

Your Your Your Family Line Will Be Ended.

The Blessings Will End in Verse 12 Goes on. The Highlight That God's Judgment Is Unbiased, Look What He Says in Verse 12 Eases the Master and the Scholar Out Of the Tabernacles of Jacob. These Were like That. The Top-Tier Leaders and Him That Offer Than Offering unto the Lord of Hosts, and Just the Person Who Brings an Offering.

Like like All the People from the Leaders to Those Being Led God Will Render Judgment on All Who Commit These Treacherous Sins. God Is Unbiased, First Kings 11 Talks about How There Is an Old Testament King Named Solomon. You Guys Are Very Familiar with the Bible Says in First Kings 11 One. I Think It's Good Just to Hear These Verses Says the King Solomon Love Many Strange Women Just Means like for Wives Together with the Daughter of Pharaoh, Women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the Devonian's Hittites of the Nations concerning Which the Lord Said, and the Children of Israel. You Shall Not Go in Them, Neither Shall They Come in unto You, for Surely They Will Turn Away Your Heart after Their Gods, Solomon Clave unto These in Love yet 700 Wise Princesses and 300 Concubines. I Mean, What on Earth Do You Do with a Thousand Women As He Lost His Mind.

What Point Do You Say I'm Insane Same Person Night Only 365 Days in a Year. You Can Even Talk to Three Today.

It's Make Any Sense. And so It Says We Came to Pass, When Psalm Was All That Is. Notice What It Says in Verse Four.

This Is the Real Tragedy of Say Why Did God Allow Polygamy Old Testament God Didn't Allow It Just Records It.

The Bible Just Records the Truth. God Was Never for Polygamy Company Lee Adams Were There Not at Times but at Them One at Don't Forget How Many Keeps What Is God Showing Us One Man One Woman That He Made to Wives but It like like You Better Not Say Could One More Time in My Life. I Can Feel It, Known to Live so God Was Showing Us That It's One Man One Woman for One Lifetime. Don't Make Me Laugh Verse Four. So This Is the Tragedy Francis Is in Verse 440 Came to Pass, When Psalm Was All That His Wives Turned Away His Heart after Other Gods in His Heart Was Not Perfect with the Lord His God, As Was the Heart of David's Father for Someone after As Droplets Goddess of His Own Hands and Milk on the Goddess, the Abomination of the Ammonites Coming. Solomon Got into Some Great Idolatry and in the Kingdom Was Torn from Him. In Verse Nine Says the Lord Was Angry with Solomon Because His Heart Was Turned from the Lord God of Israel, Which Had Appeared in Him Twice and He Commanded Them concerning the Things That He Should Not Go after Other Gods, but That Which Not That We Not That Which the Lord Commanded. Wherefore the Lord Said in the Solomon for As Much Is This Is Done of the and Has Not Kept My Covenant in My Statutes, Which I Commanded Thee I Will Surely Ring the Kingdom from the Will Give It to Thy Servants. That's What He Did. The Kingdom Was Torn Apart.

Solomon Said His Family up for Disaster and and I Tell You What the Sins of David Really Got Passed on the Solomon's. David Passed on so Many Great Things, but Also David Had Many Wives Due To Any Other Get It 10 or so Wives and and and and and.

Wives and Concubines Together over 10 There in and It Just That so That Was Passed on to His Children That Always Caused Problems. Abram Had More Than One Wife, and That Cause Some Problems That the Muslims Today Are the Offspring of the Second Wife When We We Did the Devastation Is Massive.

The Bible Never Affirms That and so Verse 13 It Says in This Heavy Done Again Covering the Altar of the Lord with Cheers with Weeping with Crying out and so Much That He Regarded No Not the Offering Anymore, or Receive If It with Good Your Hand of the People Come in They Offer Tears and Weeping the God Here in Verse 13 That They Been Separate from They Thought Coming in Offering Remorse and Offering Are Two Would Suffice for God Would Not Receive It and Receive It. Proverbs 15 It Says the Sacrifices of the Wicked Is an Abomination to the Lord and in Isaiah 115 through 18 God Says When You Spread Forth Your Hands. I Will Hide Mine Eyes from You. Yay When You Make Many Prayers, I Will Not Hear Your Hands Are Full of Blood Wash. You Agree Says Washing Make You Clean Put Away the Evil of What the People Were Doing Was God Were Sorry about This but They Didn't Want to Forsake It.I'm Sorry, but They Did Want to Give It up.

Verse 17 of Isaiah 1 Says Learn to Do Well Seek Judgment Relieve the Oppressed Judge the Fatherless, Plead for the Widow, Now, Let Us Reason Together Seafloor Though Your Sins Be a Struggle Be White As Snow Wants to Cleanse You, but You Gotta Do Something with Your Sin. That's What People Say All You Don't Have To Repent to Be Saved, All You You Tell Them You Can Hang on to All of Your Sins That I Believe in God and in Just Be As Wicked As Hell Itself and Still Be Safe That That's That's That I Was Talking to Somebody Last Year. They Said You Know I Can't Come the Lighthouse Anymore Because You Say You Have To Repent in Order to Be Say That's Not Found in the Bible Is a Repent and Believe the Gospel Is Not Found in the Bible. What I Just Said Use Exactly What Paul Said Bible Says the Repentance of Sins Should Be Preached to the Whole World. The Bible Says God Commanded All Men Everywhere to Repent. Acts 1730 He Said except You Repent You Will Perish with 13 313 Five Bible Says in Luke 15 There Is Rejoicing in Heaven over One Sinner That Repented More Than over 99 Jesus Are the Preaching of the Gospel by Saying in Matthew Chapter 417 Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand.

Do I Need to Keep Going.

I Was like It's Just How You Get How Do You Get past It. What People Don't Want to Do As They Say Well We Don't Think People Should Have To Give up since It's Not a Work of Giving up Sin. It's a Heart That's Broken over the Violation of God's Law That Will Evidence Itself in a Transformed Life. Repentance Is Not External It's Internal and When It Starts Internally. It Will Show up on the outside That Makes It so so There's Got to Be a Change so Not Everything We Offer God.

You Need to Know Is Acceptable to God. They Were Coming in Offering Tears in Verse 13 God's like I'm Not Accepting It.

Just Because We Offer Something Doesn't Mean God's Going to Take It. Your That Shows Us the Offeror Is Not the Standard of What's Acceptable. The Receiver Is God Is the Standard of What He Accepts of God Says I Don't Accept This and I Don't Care How Sincere I Am. I Don't Care How Many Tears I Have. God Doesn't Take That, You Know What We Base Worship on the Bible Tells Us God. God's Word Determines That John 424 Jesus Said This Way, God Is a Spirit, and They That Worship Him Must Worship Him in Spirit That Is Internally and in Truth That Is Accurately You Have To Worship God Not Just External Ritualism but Internal Reality Never Talk to Somebody Who Goes to a Christian Group of Some Kind and You You Ask Questions They Don't Know Why They Don't Have the Internal Reality Just Have the External Conformity. They Know What They're Supposed to Do on the outside but They Don't Really Know Why Jesus Is You Gotta Do the Truth. Why Are You Doing Doesn't Mean Anything If Your Empty Headed Right All Suck Suck. What Was That Even Do What You Even Doing What Why Do That. I Have a People around the World like You Want of Them and They Came out Other Religious That You Say What You Guys Do They like You Think God Accepts. You Gotta Know What You're Doing and Why You're Doing. It's Gotta Be in Truth This Gotta Be Accurate but It's Gotta Be Inward. It's Gotta Be Sincere As Well. I Don't Even Know Why I'm Doing It. Why Would I Even Be Sincere about It. Hebrews 1228 Says Wherefore We Receive a Kingdom Which Cannot Be Moved. Let Us Have P Grace Whereby We May Serve God.

Notice What It Says Acceptably with Reverence and Godly Fear. We Serve God in Acceptable Way. What's an Acceptable Way Way You Do It with Reverence and You Do with Godly Fear, We Reference God We Hold Him Lady We Hold Him What He That's Why Think It's Important to Come to Church If You Can Be Here Just a Little Early so You Can Have Your Heart Prepared at Your Home Repair Your Heart before You Come God.

This Is Important Day Set Aside for You on Sunday.

We Want to Come and Worship You Wanted to Give Way to This Day I Want to Spend Time with You. I Want to Come in off the Heels of a Long Week with My Mind Rushing about What I Gotta Do This Afternoon. The Rest of the Slowdown to Give You Reference Guide Your Way. You Mean Something Valuable You're Worth Is More Than Silver and Gold or Anything Else in My Life and We Slow down. We Have a Fear of God the Justice.I Am in All, I Am Struck by the Wonder of God like There Should Be Us.

You Know We Live in a Day of Walking in 30 Minutes Late to Service with Our Flip-Flops and Sipping a Latte and God Says I Would Just As a Question. Is That Acceptable with Reverence and Godly Fear.

You Think God Would Laugh about Density School. You Think I Would Say It's Not Acceptable You're Dishonoring Me Actually I Think Now If You Have Flip-Flops If You're Drinking Something Tonight and You Came Late Because You Get off Work I Do. I Don't Know You Did Any of That Stuff. Okay, so Don't. And There Are Times That You Have To Work till 630 or You're on Sunday You Can Only Get Here 30 Minutes Late Still Combats Very Honoring the Dock Just Know That It's the Mindset That Says Okay, I Could Have Been There but I Was Watching a YouTube Video or I Stayed up till Three in the Morning to Make and since Everybody so Don't Take This As a Legalistic Thing. That's That's Not the Direction I Wanted to Go but but Take It As It Is a Hard Issue That We Have To Examine Our Nature Were Given Reverence That God Deserves Not Look Look How That Other People Respond in Verse 14.

Got This As yet You Say Wherefore What Why They're Asking Why Doesn't God Accept Our Offerings. This Reveals Their Low View of Their Sin Me. They Had Such a Love You like This Got out at Severson Person Offerings, They Didn't See Their Sin As Being That Bad to God and What Happens in Verse 14 Is Very Powerful Because God Puts Himself on the Witness Stand Is Says Because the Lord Have Been Witnessed between the and the Wife of the Youth against Whom Thou Has Dealt Treacherously yet Is She Thy Companion and the Wife of Thy Covenant God Literally Puts Himself on the Witness Stand Listening on Behalf of the Wronged Wife Wife Who in Those Times Didn't Have the Ability to Defend Herself, the Level That They People Do Today God Comes along and Becomes Her Defense You're Here You so You Don't Think What You Did Was Wrong.

I'm Going to Speak On Behalf Of the Victim, Now and God Is a Witness Glad God Speaks up about Half of Those Have Been Wronged and Can Be a Voice for Themselves What Jeremiah 50 Says the Save the Lord of Hosts, the Children of Israel and the Children of Judah Were Oppressed Together and All That Took Them Captive Held Them Fast and Refuse to Let Them Go.

Their Redeemer Is Strong, the Lord of Hosts Is His Name, He Shall Thoroughly Plead Their Cause, That He May Give Rest of the Land and Disquiet. The Inhabitants of Babylon. Psalm 140 Verse 12. I Know That the Lord Will Maintain the Calls of the Afflicted and the Right of the Poor Wraps You Have Been or You Know Somebody like It's Been Very Wrong.

It's like Man Justice Wasn't Serve That Guy Got Offer That Girl Got over That Person Got Away with It. I Can Tell You the Good News Is That in Your Way with Every You Know If There Is No God. Hitler Got Away with It. There Is No Creator Mussolini Got Away with It. If There Is a God.

They Will Stand in Judgment for Every Sin They Never Committed.

They Will Justice Will Be Perfectly Serve Anybody Think over That like like When Somebody That's Why God Says Don't Take Vengeance, You Think You're Offended over There Sin, You Have No Idea What Holy God Feels about You Give Vengeance to Me, I Will Repay Safe the Lord. So What We Can Do Is Say God Let Me Then Pray for Them That They Might Turn Because They're Doing What I Used To Do in My Ignorance and Sin and Offend People.

They They Turn from Their Sin and Turn to You and Maybe Find Grace and If You're Saying God Will Cover Your Sins and Grace I Can Tell You Your Sin Will Find You out If You Wrong People into Wrong Things Right and so Praise God for His Justice Just Just Know That Reality.

Romans 1217 through 19 Refer to That Person of the Third Thing I'd like to Show You in Verse 15 through 17 As We Bring This to a Conclusion Is God's View of Divorce. In Verse 15. Notice What He Says and Did Not He Make One and Did Not He Make One What Is Referring There Is, Is When God Met, What, When Marriage Happens, God Brings Them into Oneness.

There Is a Unity That Is a Mystery That God Unites and It's Because It's a Union Not between Two but It's Actually a Covenant between Three It's the Man. The Woman, and God. You're Bringing Them into Covenant Marriage Turns Two People into One Flesh, and Genesis 224 through 222 through 20 Forces.

The Rib Which the Lord Got It Taken from Man, Made He a Woman and Brought Her unto the Man. Notice It Didn't Take Her from the Foot Bone or I Had Bone but from the Side to Be a Companion to the Man to Be Brought under Him and Adam Said, This Is Now Bone of My Bones, Flesh of My Flesh. He Shall Be Called Woman, Because She Was Taken Out Of Man Therefore Shall a Man Leave His Father, Mother, and That's a Very Important Statement Is Not Stay with Mommy That Get Married You Own MoveOn.org or Something Better so There's Probably Somebody Was an Online Somewhere from Their Parents Basement, Likewise, Is That Right, Fear, so Get Your Own Room. If That's the Case I Come and See Me. I'll Be Will Be a Guide for You. There, but It Says Leave Their Father Mother so There Is a Leaving in the Notice There Is a Cleaving unto His Wife, and They Shall Be One Flesh That There Is a Unity There. Ephesians 531 Says for This Cause Shall a Man Leave His Father. Mother Shall Be Joined into His Wife and They Too Shall Be One Flesh Repeated in the New Testament in an and Divorces Tearing That Apart, It Is It Is Ripping Apart What God Has Brought Together the Movie Fireproof Is Not Seen the Movie Fireproof Razor Hand Gestures Not Seen That You Rent or Buy It. It's Good Enough to Buy in, and Very, Very Powerful Movie about Marriage for Cameron As Part of That and There's a Point in the Movie Where Couples Dealing with on the Verge of Divorce and in One of the Police Officers and That Are Firefighters. I Should Say Glued a Salt-And-Pepper Shaker Together and Try to Show Them the Importance of like Staying in That Marriage Covenant and in the Captain.

There's like Loners Did You Do That Is I Got It for Me to Easton and Edie Went to Terrible Parties Is Dr. Department's View That You Destroy Both Going to Be Some Fractures That You Just Not Ever Replace You Know That There Is a There Is a Unity That Happens in Marriage That You People Get a Divorce. You Know God Can Heal. Grace Can Cover They Can Go on and Dog I Can Really Bless Their Lives. I Can Tell You There Are Some Holes That Will Remain Because There's a Part of You Gets Torn up. I Was Talking to Somebody This Last Week and in Their Their Loved One Is Actually Kim Kohler's Mother, Her Husband's Been with the Lord Now for A Lot Of Years and She's up in Years and Her Name Is Billy Jerry Lives at Missouri. She's She's Getting to the End Stages of Her Life and She's Really Want to Go Home to Be with the Lord. She Says I'm on Really Looking Forward to Heaven but I Want to See My Husband Again and That She Understands Marriage Won't Be There like It Is Here but but That You Know They Long to See Their Love When I Tell You Because There's Been, and We Are Married Somebody for 4050 60 Years. When You Have Grown Enough in a One Flesh Setting That Is so Special and Some People Never Understand That Because They Just Bail out Right Away. Trouble They Bail. Kayla Knew That Vivus Is the God Made Them One Verse 15 Goes on to Say, yet Had He the Residue of the Spirit, MacArthur Says, Noting God's Original Institution of Marriage in Which He Made to into One Malachi Reminded Them That God Provided Only One Man for One Woman. Though He Had the Life-Giving Power of the Spirit and Could Have Made Adam a Number of Lives He Created Only One You Notice That Again in Verse 15 He Says and Did Not Make One yet Had Heat the Residue This. The Spirit Secretive Make It. Nobody Only Made One. This Is an Wherefore One. Why Did He Make One That He Might Seek a Godly Seed Unity Saying There so You Can Have Godly Offspring so That You Can Raise up a Godly Generation. He Made You Want to Stay with One That You Might Pass on Your Faith and Live a Godly Influence and He Goes on Is Is, Therefore, Take Heed to Your Spirits and Let None Deal Treacherously against the Wife of His Youth Understand like the Effect That Broken Marriages Have Own Kids. I Remember My Parents so Praise God That God Healed Their Marriage and They Been Married Now for Probably Close to 40 Years and I Remember When I Was around Fifth Grade and They Were Really Struggling in and I Was in School Is like. I Remember Sitting in School Thinking Why I Don't Care What Happens in School What Why on Earth Do I Care about Math When My Parents May Not Be Staying Together, What, Why, Why God I Didn't Fight Those I Care Nothing. Who Cares. The Purpose of Life for Me Just Kinda Started Fleeing Away Will Be down the Wrong Road for A While but It It Was All My Fault but It Was When God Healed Them Didn't. Then God Healed Me, and in the Affected Both Ways, Just Know When Mom and Dad Are Doing Good of the Effect Just Ripples down and Vice Versa.

You Know Sometimes You Will Think You Normally Get a Divorce Because the Grass Is Greener on the Other Side First Marriages. There Is about 45 to 50 Is 50% of Marriages Fail in Our Country. The Second Marriage Goes up to 60 to 67% Third Marriage Is 70 to 73%. It Gets Worse.

Percentages Continue to Grow, but We Live in a Society That so Lust Driven in It.

Abandon Commitment like What Piper Says. He Says All Relationships Are Made Peaceful and Pure by the Fulfillment of Covenants and Promises and Oats and Contracts and Commitments Children to Parents Parents to Children, Husbands to Wives, Wives to Husbands Employer to Employee and Employee to Employer Citizens to State State to Citizens the Peace and Prosperity and Joy in the Shalom of God of the Community Is Held Together by the Deep, Strong Covenant Keeping That Pervades the Community the Very Fabric of the Community Is the Trustworthiness of Its People.

They Keep Their Commitments.

The Other Way for People to Try to Live Together in Community Is the Opposite of a Covenantal Order. It's What You Might Call the Disorder of Self-Indulgence Because What Else Would You Do If You Don't Keep Cut Covenant and You Did You Base Your Commitments on Self-Indulgence and in This Community Goes on to Say the Spirit of Commitment Making and Commitment Keeping Has Been Replaced by a Spirit of Emotional and Physical Impulse How Weak the Moral Fabric of Unfit of Faithfulness to Covenants and Promises and Contracts Is Unraveled and What's Left Are the Individual Strands of Private Gratification. We Are Living in That Society. The Bible Says One of the Signs of the End Times Will Be People Will Be Covenant Breakers and Today People Don't Even Make Covenants. The Live Together for 30 Years 40 Years and Usually Not Even That Long Will Stay Together and Then Just Live or Somebody.

This Event Happens among Seven Euros Is Sinful for Seven-year-olds to Live Together.

Yes, If They're Not Married. Yes, 570 573 My Wife Died on 70 and and I Was like Yeah You Know, for Financial Reasons, She Would Lose Her and of Certain Financial Income or Whatever Else the World Is Going to Live Together. Would Anybody Feel like That's a Problem for Your Pastor. Yes, Yes, You Better Think It Would Be Safe and It Blows My Mind That Some People Even in Their Older Years Will Will Narrow Well You Know What They Done. They Put Money above Righteousness. They Put Money above Holiness. They Been Willing to Lose Their Testimony for Filthy Lucre. God Calls That Evil and It's Wicked All Preach This till I Die. I Don't Care If One Person, the Church Would Agree with Me and I Think All of You Probably Do Agree with Me.

Maybe. But It Is It Is Wrong for Sin to Rule Our Lives. We Have To Be Surrendered to the Will of God but the Passions of Society Have Taken Hold of Bumpy, but I'm Telling You It's Such Deceitfulness. I've Wives Who Think They Deserve Freedom and I Want to Give the Kids to Good Husband at Night and Only God Have Freedom with the Girls to Run the Bars. That's a Lie. Husbands Who Think They've Earned the Right to Go out with the Guys and Have Fun and Drink Beer and Hang out Foreground with Women That's a Lie. You Don't Have the Right for That Sin Is a Liar. It Doesn't Fulfill the Wind and Misery and Brokenness and Remorse. Adam and Eve Were Given Everything Everything and They Still Weren't Content They Still Wanted More.

Contentment Is Not an Issue of What You Have Is an Issue of Heart. Notice What He Says in Verse 16 for One Cover of Violence with His Garment, Say, the Lord of Hosts.

Therefore, Take Heed to Your Spirit That You Do Not Treacherously What That Saying in Verse Number 16 Verse 16 Says the Lord God of Israel Safe That He Hated Putting Away. He Hates Divorce for One Cover of Violence with His Garment with That Saying Is Remember Back in Ruth, This Is like Boaz When She Said Cover with Your Garment Was a Picture of Marriage Kong Conjugal Relationship. There and That There Is Also a Picture of Safety for the Husband over His Wife and What He Saying Here Is Your Cover Your Wife with Protection Safety Faithfulness What You're Doing Is You're Covering Her with Violence. Your Your Acting Violently against Her, and in Ripping the Marriage of Pardon and Intaking These Other Lives.

It Says Therefore Take Heed to Your Spirit That You Deal Not Treacherously and Then Let's Conclude in Verse 17. I Know You Thought We Would Never Get There We've Gotten There 17 Right You Is Is Making More Sense Than When We First Read It First Read This You like What on Earth Is This Even Talking about Me I Am Lost like a Goose. I Can't Get This, That's Right, I Tell You Is You. You Know Will Be Preaching on the Bridge in Chapter 3 in so You Can Read through That and in the More You Study That You're Going to Glean More Out Of It As We Go through This with Her so Much, or Whatever.

17 As We Wind This.and I Was Out Of This Weird Wearing God with Our Sin. The Last Thought There Were Seven Jesus Give Wearing the Lord with Your Words and in and in What You Find Is God Gets Worn out with Our Words and Our Sins in the Bible Says in Ephesians 430 That Were Sealed by the Holy Spirit We Can Grieve the Holy Spirit and and Just Ask Yourself Is Everything in Our Life and in That That May Be Displeasing to God That You Know the God Would Not Be Pleased with Need to Be Confessed and Forsaken a Bill Treacherously against God. Listen to the Proud Response of the People in Verse 17 He Says You've Where the Lord with Your Words You Say, Wherein Have We Wearied Him Wherein Have We Wearied Him.

I Mean It It It It. It's Amazing to Me That How Blind They Are to the Truth. What They Do Is God Declares a Sense of Them and They Continue to Question God about It and Instead of Examining Themselves. They Examined God Is like What You Did Was Wrong. There like Instead of Looking at Themselves or like No You're the One That's Wrong, and They Do This to Jesus over and over. Jesus Would Say Things Then They Would Turn on Her Back on Jesus Just so Blind. Pride Is Impossible to Teach Your Doctor Right Person. Listen to the Attack They Have against God, and the Import of Her 17 It Says When You Say Everyone to Do with Evil Is Good in the Side of the Lord, and He Delighted in Them, or Where Is the God of Judgment.

What They Were Doing Was They Were Attacking the Justice of God by Saying God Sees Evil Go on and Doesn't Dispense Judgment Immediately so God Must Be Pleased with People Who Do Wrong with the Pleasing People Do Wrong Then Then Then He Would Bring Judgment upon Them Right Away and Where Is the God of Judgment Versus God of Judgment.

John Phillips Makes a Very Clear He Says the Jews Attacked the Providence of God by Bringing up the Worn out Argument of the Prosperity of the Wicked and the Suffering of the Righteous. Malachi's Response Indicates That God Was Sick of Hearing the Same Old Slanders Served up by Immoral People to Justify Their Evil Lifestyles and I Would Aim in That the Rest of My Life.

People Who Say Wicked Statements against God like This. You Hear It All the Time They Assault God Because They Don't Want God to Be a Judge over Them. They Want to Live in Their Immorality.

They Don't Want Any Type of Accountability for Their Sin, and so Instead of Looking Inward. They Assault Upward and They Deal Treacherously, Not Only with Their Fellow Man.

But with God and so Tonight As We Look at This Is Important for Us to Examine Our Life and Say You Know What We Want to Make Sure the Work Were Following the Leading of God's Word. We Have Godly Leaders in Our Life That Were Leading in a Godly Way in and We Need That We Need to Be Faithful Because Working to Stand before God and Give an Account One Day and so Is Anything As You Examine Your Life and I Make Sure Your Heart Sincere Picture Your Life Is Honoring to God.

Make Sure You Stand for Marriage. Make Sure You Oppose Divorce Make Sure That If You Have Questions about That That You Would Come and Talk to Somebody Tonight. Let's All Stand We Close and Were Prayer Is about Nice Closed. You're Welcome to Come Tonight. If There's a Burden on Your Heart. Maybe You Are Not Sure of Your Salvation May Be Few Stable Forgot You Don't Love Heavens Are Home Free and You're Welcome to Come Tonight, Would You Have a Man Weatherman Talk with You Related What Lady Talk with You. They Could Show You from the Lord God How You Can Be Safe Tonight, but I Think You for Your Work Tonight Appraising We Would Be Faithful to Its Truth That We Would Study to Show Yourself Approved in the God That We Would Be a Light in This World That I Think You Were Married in the Faithful Marriages of His Marriages Got I've Seen Marriages Come under Psalms Seen How the Enemy Seeks to Bring in the Lies Seen in This Corruption and Blessing and Grace Watch over the Young and the Old Marriages Alike' Was to Be Good Leaders in Our Home, the Glory of God. We Ask in Jesus Name
