Teaching: Stand Up pt. 1 (SUN_AM 2021-10-24) by Pastor Star R Scott
There’s only one way to find and follow Jesus and be accepted in His sight, and that’s with a broken and contrite spirit that He will not despise. It is with an absolute biblical humility that recognizes His lordship in absolutely every decision we make. In this hour, many are being influenced by this world’s system. Many professed Christians, today, no longer believe in the absolute authority, the inerrancy, the inspiration of God’s Word. In the latest survey of professed, fundamentalist, evangelicals, Bible-believing, born-again, professed born-again Christians, over 50 percent believe there are many paths to God. Fifty percent of evangelical, fundamentalists say they’re born again, say they believe the Bible, but believe there’s many paths to God. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” But there is pressure in society today, the pressure upon the church to be tolerant of other religions. Let me remind you what God’s plan was, “When you go in and inherit the land, tear down every one of their idols. Destroy them before your midst. If you don’t, they will infiltrate your life. Your children will serve their idols. They will seduce you, and you will never fully inherit the promise of God.” That was the beginning of God’s covenant people. “Well, we’re civilized today.” We might be slightly more civilized, but we’re still all depraved.
When we talk about the depravity of man--because people, today, believe that humans are getting better. I talked to a guy that you would have never believed that in conversation with this man that he would come up with this conclusion. This guy worked in narcotics in the city of Atlanta. He was a detective for 25 years. He didn’t have to break down the doors and do that; he sent the other guys and supervised. As we were talking about this situation, just going back and forth, we were at our ease down there, with nothing to do but sit around as we were on vacation. At one point in our conversation, he actually said to me that the one thing that’s good about the human race is that we’re evolving to the place where we’re getting better. So, I wanted to start looking around for the evidence of that. The insanity of today’s mind!Here in Loudoun County, now, we’re world-wide news, our school board. Aren’t you glad we don’t go to their schools? I was telling my brother on the phone yesterday, we were talking, and he asked about that. He said, “What’s going on back there?” I said, “The pagans are on the loose, man.” But thank God the gates of hell will not prevail against us; amen? “On this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail.” Hallelujah! We stand firm. We stand invincible. We make no apologies for what we believe. We’re not influenced by secular humanists--all of this nonsense, these lies, the fruit and evidence of creature worship that’s infiltrating the schools.
Let me remind you of that phrase that I’ve used so often out of Romans. The cause of what we’re in right now in our society is that men love the creature more than the Creator; amen? It's the love of man, the absolute desire to erase all Judeo-Christian ethics from our society, to dare bring in Eastern philosophies, secular humanist ideology and psychology; and, in the process, to deny every aspect of anthropology that we’ve ever followed. This gender nonsense. Beloved, I’m not a very educated man, but I know two letters: X and Y chromosomes are different. You need to just know a couple of letters. Males and females are different; amen? There’s not A, B, C, D, E, F, G chromosomes. “My DNA has little hints of alien manipulation.” People believe that! "Male and female created He them," period. No more questions, please. Whoever it is that denies that, hates God, hates His Word, is a rebel, and is a worshipper of the creature instead of the Creator who made them male and female.
