6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,920
Amen. 
Aren't you thankful for the 

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,320
great faithfulness of the Lord? 
I know that you are. 

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,600
If you're in Christ, you have 
seen his faithfulness and the 

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,760
magnitude of his faithfulness in
your life over and over and over

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,240
again. 
What an honor it is to be able 

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,480
to approach his throne and just 
to sing praise to Him and to 

12
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:43,400
thank Him for that faithfulness 
this morning if. 

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,000
You have your Bibles if you 
would turn to the 119th Psalm. 

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,200
Can you imagine that as we can 
continue our study entitled 

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,760
Living life and in the light of 
God's word and I pray that that 

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,760
is exactly what you find 
yourself doing all the more as 

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,840
we walk through the 119th Psalm 
this morning. 

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,400
I want to take the 119th Psalm 
and I want to talk to you about 

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,840
hate. 
In fact, not only do I want to 

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,560
talk to you about hate. 
I actually want to teach you how

21
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,080
to hate. 
Now I know what immediately 

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,280
happens. 
Hate in church. 

23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:35,080
Yes, hate in church. 
And my prayer is just that. 

24
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,280
Maybe we could actually learn to
practice hate and biblical hate 

25
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,960
in our lives. 
The reason that we come to this 

26
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:46,120
topic and the reason that we 
address this topic and the 

27
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,240
reason that we teach on this 
topic is because hate in the 

28
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,480
right context is very acceptable
and very biblical. 

29
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,960
How many of you would agree that
love is a great motivator? 

30
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,960
Love is a great motivator. 
In fact, we've heard story after

31
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:03,720
story about dangerous situations
where children will fall into 

32
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,840
some kind of dangerous time. 
Perhaps that's a wild beast, or 

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,479
perhaps they fall down a 
mountain that no one would 

34
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:12,520
normally be able to retrieve 
them from. 

35
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,080
But yet moms, because of their 
love for their children, will 

36
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,440
will fight off wild animals and 
climb mountains. 

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,200
And, and we've even heard 
stories of, of moms lifting cars

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,680
off of children that the car has
collapsed on them because they 

39
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,440
were motivated by love. 
We know that it's a great 

40
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,720
motivator, but oftentimes in the
church, because we are so afraid

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,040
of the world hate. 
And I get it, the word hate. 

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,320
I get that we're so afraid of it
because our grandmothers taught 

43
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,920
us that we're not to hate anyone
or any anything for any reason 

44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,960
whatsoever. 
And that has been inundated into

45
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,440
our minds. 
We've been inundated with that 

46
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,960
and indoctrinated that for so 
long that it's part of who we 

47
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,400
are. 
But I think as we explore the 

48
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,920
word of God this morning, we're 
going to find out that hate can 

49
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:01,480
be a great motivator if hate is 
biblical. 

50
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,440
In fact, many of you are 
familiar with an NBA basketball 

51
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,080
star by the name of Larry Bird. 
If you know him, you know 

52
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,480
exactly what I'm I'm talking 
about. 

53
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,680
And you know the length of his 
shorts. 

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,320
Rather embarrassing. 
Larry Bird was a winner. 

55
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,120
Here's what Larry Bird said. 
He said I hate losing. 

56
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,360
I mean, I really hate it. 
I can't stand it. 

57
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,680
I hate losing more than I love 
winning. 

58
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,960
You know this. 
In the life of Larry Bird, his 

59
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,560
hatred for losing was a great 
motivator. 

60
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840
He wasn't motivated by his love 
for winning. 

61
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,000
He said I do love winning, but 
even more than loving to win, I 

62
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,000
hate losing. 
We know this and we're if we're 

63
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,600
talking about athletic events, 
sporting events, competing, we 

64
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,160
can teach a person to hate 
losing. 

65
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,800
We'll see a, a, a winner rise to
the surface. 

66
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,560
Larry Bird understood that and 
he was quoted in saying that. 

67
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,920
But in our Christian lives, hate
can also do the same thing. 

68
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,000
It can motivate us in areas that
we've never been motivated in 

69
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,560
before. 
In fact, hate can be a great 

70
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,680
motivator, motivating us toward 
godliness, motivating us toward 

71
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,160
repentance, motivating us toward
holiness, motivating us toward 

72
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,640
sharing the gospel with the 
lost. 

73
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,360
It can be a great motivator. 
Jonathan Edwards said this. 

74
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,840
He said true grace is marked by 
a hatred of sin that is as 

75
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:37,840
strong as our love for Christ. 
Men, what would happen if the 

76
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:42,040
church returned to a place 
because in days gone by, the 

77
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,120
church hated wickedness. 
They stood against wickedness. 

78
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,920
They stood against anything that
opposed God and His Holiness and

79
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,960
His Word. 
But what would happen if we as 

80
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,920
believers learn to biblically 
hate the things that God hates 

81
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,760
as much as we love Christ? 
Hate can be a great motivator. 

82
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,680
If it's biblical and if it's 
proper. 

83
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,040
I know. 
Wait a minute, My grandmother 

84
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,520
said I shouldn't. 
Hate your grandmother? 

85
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,800
Is wrong in this facet my 
grandmother was wrong as well I 

86
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,840
do not speak I'll against the 
dead but what I do say is the 

87
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:30,000
word of God Trump's everyone and
everything else and so we're 

88
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,600
going to see today that we must 
have biblical hatred in our 

89
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:40,440
lives as professing. 
Believers and we have to ask is 

90
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,120
that wrong? 
Because for so many of us, even 

91
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,280
the use of that word bothers us.
How many of you feel icky right 

92
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:52,960
now even thinking about it? 
If we open the Word of God and 

93
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,320
we consult the Word of God, 
we'll find our answer to the 

94
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,560
question, is this wrong to 
biblically hate? 

95
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,120
Psalm 97, verse 10 says this. 
Let those who love the Lord hate

96
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,280
evil. 
You love the Lord and the Word 

97
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:07,960
of God just commanded you to 
hate evil. 

98
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,520
Now I'd love to soften it up for
you and tell you that in the 

99
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,040
Hebrew that word hate means 
something else. 

100
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,040
No, it means hate. 
He said let those who love the 

101
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,280
word hate evil for he he guards 
the lives of his faithful ones 

102
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,200
and delivers them from the hand 
of the wicked. 

103
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,360
He says hate evil. 
Romans 12 verse 9, it says love 

104
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,360
must be sincere. 
Paul says hate what is evil, 

105
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,480
cling to what is good. 
Oh, I would to God that the 

106
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,680
church would get back to hating 
what is evil and clinging to 

107
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,800
what is good. 
Amos chapter 5 verse 15. 

108
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,920
And what if the Lord says hate 
evil, love good, maintain 

109
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,000
justice in the courts, hate 
evil, love good? 

110
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,760
Psalm 5 verse 4 says this. 
You're not a God who takes 

111
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,720
pleasure and evil with you. 
The wicked cannot dwell. 

112
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,800
The arrogant cannot stand in 
your presence. 

113
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,720
You hate all who do wrong. 
You destroy those who tell lies.

114
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,920
Bloodthirsty and deceitful men, 
the Lord of horrors again. 

115
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,880
I wish I could clean that up for
you so that would fit your 

116
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,960
cultural understanding that God 
is all love and never any 

117
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,320
indignation or never any hatred 
toward wickedness. 

118
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,400
But that's just not the case. 
That's not biblical. 

119
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,680
When God hates, He hates with 
the holy hatred. 

120
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,920
And we can do the same as we 
learn to hate biblically. 

121
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,280
And learning to hate biblically 
will be a great motivator in our

122
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,920
Christian lives. 
Proverbs chapter 6. 

123
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,280
We read it a moment ago. 
A moment ago. 

124
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,120
There are 6 things the Lord 
hates 7 that are detestable to 

125
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,560
him. 
He uses that #7 to show us that 

126
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,120
His hate is as perfect as His 
love. 

127
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,960
He says He hates haughty eyes, 
lying tongue, hands that shed 

128
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,320
innocent blood, a heart that 
devises wicked schemes, feet 

129
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,320
that are quick to rush into 
evil, a false witness who pours 

130
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,280
out lies, and a man who stirs up
dissension among brothers. 

131
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,360
He says I hate the wickedness of
man and I hate those who do 

132
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,720
these things. 
He he takes a person who stirs 

133
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,440
up dissension in the church and 
puts him in the same category as

134
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,440
a murderer. 
He says I hate it. 

135
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,200
These things are detestable to 
the Lord. 

136
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,520
Well, many people would say, 
well, Kirk, you quoted a lot 

137
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,800
from the Old Testament. 
In our understanding, in the Old

138
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,200
Testament, God was full of 
indignation and full of hate. 

139
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,360
But in the New Testament, he's 
the kinder, gentler God. 

140
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,799
That's not true. 
He's the same God and the same 

141
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,960
hatred that he's had for 
wickedness in eternity past, 

142
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,480
that he will have an eternity 
future. 

143
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,480
He still contains and still has 
today. 

144
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,600
And Revelation says this. 
In case you thought it was just 

145
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,000
the Old Testament and I was just
cherry picking texts from the 

146
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,920
Old Testament to try to prove a 
point there. 

147
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,840
As he's speaking to the seven 
churches of Asia Minor. 

148
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,160
He says this in chapter 2, verse
six. 

149
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,680
He says, but you have this in 
your favor. 

150
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,720
Church of Ephesus. 
He said you hate the practices 

151
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,320
of the Nicolaitans, which I 
also. 

152
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,360
Hate, he said. 
It behooves you that you hate 

153
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,480
the Nicolaitans because I hate 
their practices as well. 

154
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,480
You hate their teachings and 
there's all kind of debate. 

155
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,040
What was the teaching of the 
Nicolaitans? 

156
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,280
We have to come down to the fact
that it was probably some type 

157
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400
of antinomianism, meaning this. 
They had taught about cheap 

158
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,880
grace, where we can get this 
cheap grace and then live any 

159
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,040
way that we want to live, 
profess Christ and then deny 

160
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,240
with our lifestyles. 
God says I hate that and I 

161
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,560
commend you that you hate that 
as well. 

162
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,960
And did you ever think that you 
would read a commendation from 

163
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,480
God to a church that says you 
hate their practices? 

164
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,600
And I'm thankful that you hate 
their practices because I agree 

165
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,520
with you. 
I hate them as well. 

166
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,120
Well what a commendation to a 
church teaching us the churches.

167
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,000
Those groups made-up a body of 
believers have to learn how to 

168
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,680
biblically hate and when we 
learn how to biblically hate God

169
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:57,920
himself commends it because we 
are hating the things he hates. 

170
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,640
We're loving the things that he 
loves. 

171
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,680
So now that we have. 
Established that there is a such

172
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:07,320
thing as biblical hatred 
contrary again to your grandma 

173
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,960
and your grandpa's teaching your
southern upbringing. 

174
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,760
We've established that the word 
of God is very clear and these 

175
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,960
are just a few of the instances 
in Scripture that we see 

176
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,280
biblical hatred that is 
acceptable to God. 

177
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,960
We have established that I feel 
at this point, and because we 

178
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,440
have, I think it's time that we 
learn how to hate biblically 

179
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,440
according to Psalm 119. 
So if you're there, let's look 

180
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,840
together. 
Psalm 119. 

181
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,640
We find our text today in verse 
113 under. 

182
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:47,480
The Hebrew letter SEMEC and it 
says this in verse 113. 

183
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,560
I hate double minded men, but I 
love your law. 

184
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,160
You are my refuge and my shield.
I have put my hope in your word 

185
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,960
away from me, you evil doers, 
that I may keep the commands of 

186
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,880
my God. 
Sustain me according to your 

187
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,960
promise and I will live. 
Do not let my hopes be dashed. 

188
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,120
Uphold me and I will be 
delivered. 

189
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,240
I will always have regard for 
your decrees. 

190
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,760
You reject all who stray from 
your decrees, for their 

191
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,040
deceitfulness is in vain. 
All the wicked of the earth you 

192
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,160
discard like dross. 
Therefore I love your statues. 

193
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,400
My flesh trembles in fear of 
you. 

194
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,640
I stand in awe. 
Of your laws, let's pray 

195
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,120
together. 
Father, in the name of Jesus, we

196
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,040
come to you right now, thanking 
you for your word. 

197
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,520
And Lord, we ask in our time and
in our day, that You would teach

198
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,480
us something that is not being. 
Taught, but is found so clearly 

199
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,600
in your word, We ask that you 
would teach us how to hate 

200
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,800
biblically, how to hate with the
right heart, and that we would 

201
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,480
use that hatred for the things 
that you hate. 

202
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,440
To motivate us in our love for 
the things that you love. 

203
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,600
To motivate us in our obedience 
and following your commands. 

204
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,360
God, I pray for the lost soul 
who's here today. 

205
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Lord, I pray that you would be 
merciful to them even this hour.

206
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:25,520
That you would call them out of 
darkness and into your marvelous

207
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,200
light, rebirthing them through 
the power of your spirit. 

208
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,520
That they would believe and 
repent of their sin and turn to 

209
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,960
Christ as Lord and Savior 
quickened, awakened from 

210
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:43,000
spiritual death, brought into 
eternal life to the sacrifice of

211
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,120
Jesus Christ that he made upon 
the cross. 

212
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,480
Lord, have mercy on them. 
God, as we look at Your word, 

213
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,000
teach us, shape us, conform us 
into the image of Christ, and we

214
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000
pray these things in the mighty 
name of Jesus, Amen. 

215
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,640
And so we see that biblical 
hatred is a thing, and it's not 

216
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,120
something to shy away from. 
It's something that we must 

217
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,680
learn and we must embrace. 
And the Psalmist here starts off

218
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:11,840
just like this. 
He says in verse 113, I hate 

219
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,800
double minded men, but I love 
your law. 

220
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,880
You are my refuge and my shield.
I have put my hope in your word.

221
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,440
Biblical hatred will be hatred 
for the inclinations of the 

222
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,480
wicked. 
See where the psalmist starts 

223
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,280
here? 
He's saying I hate the 

224
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,960
inclinations of the wicked, 
their thoughts, their thought 

225
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:41,760
process, where their mind is. 
In fact, he refers to them as 

226
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,920
being double minded men. 
So regarding the inclinations of

227
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,280
the wicked, the psalmist here is
despising double mindedness. 

228
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,520
Now he's not only despising 
double mindedness in the lives 

229
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,240
of those who he is. 
Observing outside of himself. 

230
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,880
But first, he must learn to hate
the double mindedness that lives

231
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,040
within him. 
And how many of you understand 

232
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:16,200
that you have flesh, and that 
flesh can cause you to waver? 

233
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,560
And the psalmist, you're saying 
I hate that I hate that about 

234
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:26,000
me, I hate that about others. 
I hate double minded men, myself

235
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,560
included. 
He's despising this double 

236
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,120
mindedness. 
In fact in James in his epistle 

237
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,120
chapter one verse 8, he says 
Speaking of a double minded man.

238
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,480
He says he is double minded and 
unstable in all he does. 

239
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,200
The psalmist knew that a double 
minded man is unstable in 

240
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,160
everything that he does. 
He's unstable in his life. 

241
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,000
He's unstable in his family, 
he's unstable in the church 

242
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,640
body. 
He is an unstable man or an 

243
00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:01,200
unstable woman. 
James 4/8 he speaks of double 

244
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,320
mindedness again. 
He says come near to God and he 

245
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,480
will come near to you. 
Wash your hands, you sinners, 

246
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,760
and purify your hearts, you 
double minded. 

247
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,560
What James is saying is, is that
the mind of a double minded man 

248
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,360
is is impure and his heart is 
impure. 

249
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,680
So he's despising this double 
mindedness. 

250
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,840
And why does he despise it? 
Because these people are 

251
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,840
inconsistent in their thoughts. 
They're inconsistent in their 

252
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,760
thoughts. 
They are like those that we see 

253
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,720
in First Kings chapter 18 verse 
21. 

254
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,240
We see Elijah and he's 
addressing the double minded 

255
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,640
people of his day. 
And here's how he addresses 

256
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,520
those people right there. 
They're wavering back and forth 

257
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,840
from between the one true God 
and bail and worshipping bail 

258
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,840
and idol and worshipping the one
true God. 

259
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,080
And then we've got the prophets 
bail seeming to be winning. 

260
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,840
And here we have Elijah and he 
says this in chapter 18 of first

261
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,320
Kings verse 21. 
It says Elijah went before the 

262
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,960
people and he said, how long 
will you waver between two 

263
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,800
opinions? 
If the Lord God, if the Lord is 

264
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,120
God, follow him, but if Baal is 
God, follow him. 

265
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,320
But the people said nothing. 
What did he do? 

266
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,080
He called them out in their 
double mindedness and they had 

267
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,120
nothing to say. 
That's for all of you who can't 

268
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,760
make up your mind. 
Are you really serving Christ? 

269
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Are you really following Christ?
You can't make up your mind. 

270
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,320
Who you really are, You said, 
well, how do you know that about

271
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,280
me? 
Because I see things like this 

272
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,400
guy do pay attention. 
I see that today after the 

273
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,000
church service, you might post 
something from this worship 

274
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,560
service on your social media and
you might say how good God is. 

275
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,880
But then other days during the 
week, you might post pictures of

276
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,520
yourself out in some club drunk 
and partying with all your 

277
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,400
friends. 
You say, well, Kirk, who do you 

278
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,040
think you are to meddle in my 
life? 

279
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,800
I'm not meddling in your life. 
You're putting it out there for 

280
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:59,000
all to see. 
And I say to this, you present 

281
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,040
yourself as double minded. 
At one moment you're 

282
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,480
participating in the things of 
God and in the other moment 

283
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,240
you're participating in the 
things of the world. 

284
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,880
That is the definition of double
minded. 

285
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,880
And just as Elijah said to the 
people in his day, he said make 

286
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,160
up your mind who you are. 
He didn't tell them one way or 

287
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,520
the other. 
He said if you want to follow 

288
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,960
bail, a false God, follow him. 
Give him your all. 

289
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:23,720
I say this to you. 
You look one quick Christian in 

290
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,000
the room. 
Give the world your all, or give

291
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,080
your all to God, but give your 
all to something. 

292
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,080
This is exactly what we see 
here. 

293
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,280
The psalmist despising double 
mindedness again. 

294
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,920
He looks at. 
Himself first. 

295
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,560
We can all be double minded if 
we're not careful, can't we? 

296
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,600
To say one thing and to do the 
other. 

297
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,960
That's why we must be careful. 
And he's going to show us how to

298
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,440
be careful. 
He's despising double 

299
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,960
mindedness, inconsistent 
thoughts. 

300
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,040
And inconsistent thoughts always
lead to inconsistent living, 

301
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,520
don't they? 
In fact, Matthew chapter 6 verse

302
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,520
24, Jesus said this. 
He said no one can serve 2 

303
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,560
masters. 
Either he will hate the one and 

304
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,840
love the other, or He will be 
devoted to the one and despise 

305
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,080
the other. 
What was Jesus teaching us here?

306
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,720
He's teaching against double 
mindedness. 

307
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:20,880
Who's your master? 
Are you still mastered by sin in

308
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,280
this world and Satan? 
Or is Jesus really your master? 

309
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,080
Is he really Lord of your life? 
In fact, in James chapter 2, 

310
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,280
James says this. 
He says in the same way faith by

311
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,560
itself is not accompanied by 
action is dead. 

312
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,240
James is saying if you say one 
thing and your life shows us 

313
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,160
something opposite of that 
thing, that's what a double 

314
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,120
minded person's life looks like.
He says your faith is dead. 

315
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,880
It's not real. 
It's not authentic faith at all.

316
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,920
You deny what comes out of your 
mouth by what comes out of your 

317
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,200
life, Jesus. 
Said it a little more sternly 

318
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,720
than that, he said in Luke 646. 
Why do you call me Lord, Lord 

319
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,520
and do not do what I say? 
Why are you double minded? 

320
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,600
The psalmist here declaring that
I hate double minded men. 

321
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,840
I despise this double 
mindedness, this inconsistent 

322
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,480
thought process, this 
inconsistent living. 

323
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,160
He hates it because God hates it
and does not tolerate it. 

324
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,040
The psalmist despising double 
mindedness but desiring 

325
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,600
protection from God through His 
word. 

326
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,920
Watch what he does. 
About his own double mindedness,

327
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,240
he says I hate double minded 
men, but I love your law. 

328
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,800
You know what he's doing? 
He's learning to hate himself. 

329
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,320
I'll say it so that you all can 
understand this. 

330
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,800
I know what modern culture tells
you. 

331
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,120
Love yourself. 
That is a lie. 

332
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:55,720
Hat straight from the pits of 
hell. 

333
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:03,840
Learn to hate your fleshly self.
Learn to hate your old life. 

334
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,520
Learn to hate it so much that 
when you look back at it, you 

335
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,600
don't want to ever look back at 
it again. 

336
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,760
You want to go in the opposite 
direction all the days of your 

337
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,800
life. 
In fact, the Lord himself 

338
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,120
teaching this, no man is fit for
the Kingdom of heaven who puts 

339
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,240
his hand to the pile and looks 
back. 

340
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,440
Don't look back. 
Don't go back. 

341
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:31,280
Hate your own life that you have
been rescued from Well, much of 

342
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,080
the problems that we see in the 
American church stem from the 

343
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:39,360
fact. 
That men are afraid to hate the 

344
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:43,240
inclinations of the wicked, even
their own inclinations, because 

345
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,560
if you hate them you'll die to 
them, and if you don't die to 

346
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,240
them, that proves you don't hate
them. 

347
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,600
So the psalmist here desiring 
protection from God through his 

348
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:01,000
word, he says, I love your law. 
You are my refuge and my shield.

349
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,720
I have put my hope in your word,
he said. 

350
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,760
The only hope for? 
Anyone who has been double 

351
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,720
minded, which would be all of 
us, he said The only hope for 

352
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,400
any of us is to put our trust in
the Word of God. 

353
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,760
He knowing that himself here 
susceptible to double 

354
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,720
mindedness. 
He seeks help from the 

355
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,440
Scriptures. 
Lord, teach me to walk 

356
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,840
consistently. 
Lord, teach me to walk in a 

357
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,480
manner that brings glory to Your
name. 

358
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,320
Teach me to walk in practical 
righteousness every day of my 

359
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,160
life. 
Where do I learn that? 

360
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,280
The word of God. 
What example do I have? 

361
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:37,800
Christ. 
The Psalmist here hating the 

362
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,880
inclinations of the wicked, 
despising double mindedness, 

363
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,040
desiring protection from God 
through His Word in regard to 

364
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,120
double mindedness, trusting 
single mindedly in the 

365
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:53,000
Scriptures as a sole guide and 
shield and resource. 

366
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,000
I would to God that he would 
raise up a Church of single 

367
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,240
minded people who say, you know 
what, it doesn't matter what we 

368
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,040
think or what we want or what 
our flesh wants. 

369
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,640
What matters is what God says in
his word. 

370
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,600
Lord, protect us from double 
mindedness by being our refuge 

371
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:21,240
and our shield as we put. 
Our hope in your word. 

372
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:27,480
That's exactly what the psalmist
is saying, and he's motivated to

373
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,880
this attitude because he has a 
true hatred. 

374
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:39,760
For the inclinations of the 
wicked, he can't tolerate and 

375
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:45,480
accept these double minded 
inconsistencies any longer, not 

376
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,840
from his life or the life of 
others who profess to know God. 

377
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,480
If you were one of. 
Those you know full well 

378
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,280
already, as conviction is 
setting in that this is God's 

379
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,880
Word speaking to you. 
Hear it, hear it and examine 

380
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,520
your life. 
Ask yourself that question. 

381
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,840
Why don't I have hatred for my 
own double mindedness? 

382
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,320
Why is it easy for me to blend 
in with the world Monday through

383
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,960
Friday and then on the weekends 
start thinking about God so that

384
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,080
I can go to church on Sunday and
feel OK about it? 

385
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,120
And ask God to teach you the 
truth through His Word, so you 

386
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:30,880
can have real hope. 
Biblical hatred will be hatred 

387
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,440
for the inclinations of the 
wicked. 

388
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,320
Secondly, biblical hatred will 
be hatred for the influence of 

389
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,640
the wicked. 
What he says in verse 115. 

390
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,040
He says away from me, you evil 
doers, that I may keep the 

391
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:50,480
commands of my God away from me,
you evil doers, that I may keep 

392
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,760
the commands of my God. 
What does the psalmist doing 

393
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,240
here? 
The psalmist here is giving us 

394
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,240
an example of what hating the 
influence of wickedness looks 

395
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,960
like. 
He sees the influence, he sees 

396
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,600
the wickedness in others who are
leading people away from God, 

397
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,520
and he hates it. 
And he says away from me, get 

398
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,000
out of here. 
I am. 

399
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,520
I am removing you from the 
equation, you evildoer. 

400
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,240
Why? 
That I may keep the commands of 

401
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,200
God. 
He understood that he had to get

402
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,800
out of the way of this 
influence. 

403
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,080
Many people forget this. 
Even in the church today, I see 

404
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,840
young people do it right. 
There's this really cute guy, 

405
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,400
and he is not a believer. 
In fact, he's a total immoral 

406
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,880
Pagan, but he's cute. 
And the young lady who's a 

407
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,880
believer thinks like this. 
She says, you know what, Perhaps

408
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,040
I can be a missionary on the 
mission field and I can date him

409
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,640
and possibly lead him to Christ.
Can I tell you what the word of 

410
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,120
God says very plainly? 
Very clearly, First Corinthians 

411
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,120
chapter 15 verse 33, it says do 
not be misled. 

412
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,240
Now let me help you. 
Anytime you see something in 

413
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,040
Scripture that causes you to 
listen up, do not be misled. 

414
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,960
You know what that's saying? 
Hey, we can quickly be misled. 

415
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,120
Pay attention to this. 
Do not be misled. 

416
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,080
Bad company corrupts. 
Good character doesn't work the 

417
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,640
other way around. 
It is not your job, young lady, 

418
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,240
to save that man. 
It is your job to walk a holy 

419
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,520
life, to walk a righteous life, 
to remain pure and not let that 

420
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,880
young man influence you. 
In order to do that, you have to

421
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,360
hate the influence of the wicked
to see it for what it is. 

422
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,640
Psalmist teaching us, here's 
what we need to do when we are 

423
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,280
influenced by wickedness. 
We need to remove ourselves from

424
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,480
that situation First. 
We have to discern it. 

425
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,960
Here's what it is. 
It's evil. 

426
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,960
It's wickedness. 
It's sin, it's sinful, it's 

427
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,880
worldly. 
Define it for what it is. 

428
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,640
Call it what it is. 
Don't you wish the church or get

429
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,320
back to calling things what they
really are? 

430
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,840
Worldly, sinful, wicked, evil, 
all those things that we're 

431
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,880
afraid to say because people are
going to get mad at us. 

432
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,760
And accuse us of hating. 
We are hating, but we can't 

433
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,680
claim to love God and not hate 
the things that God hates. 

434
00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:15,110
The Psalm is hating the 
influence of the wicked. 

435
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,080
And he knows that he has to 
remove himself from the presence

436
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,360
of the wicked so that the wicked
don't drag him down. 

437
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,720
Are you listening? 
He's distancing himself from 

438
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,400
evil, just like a Joseph and 
Potiphar's wife. 

439
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,680
He had to go, didn't he? 
I don't think for a second that 

440
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,880
Potiphar's wife was not 
beautiful and that there was not

441
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,840
a temptation there. 
That's why he ran. 

442
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,120
Smart man. 
And he got out of there. 

443
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:44,240
What? 
Away from me, evil doer. 

444
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,480
Away from me, evildoer, that I 
may keep the commands of my God.

445
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,880
He got out of the danger zone. 
Why? 

446
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,520
So that he can obey the word of 
God. 

447
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,160
He distanced himself from evil. 
Isn't it a sad day when the 

448
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,960
church has forgotten that we're 
to distance ourselves from evil?

449
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,400
We're to distance ourselves from
the wickedness of this world, 

450
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:12,440
the sin of this world. 
We are to be different. 2nd 

451
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,160
Corinthians chapter 6 verse 14 
Paul teaches on this. 

452
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,160
He says do not be yoked together
with unbelievers. 

453
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,160
For what do righteousness and 
wickedness have in common? 

454
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,800
Watch how common sense this is. 
What do righteousness and 

455
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,560
wickedness have in common? 
Nothing. 

456
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,040
You claim to be righteous. 
You claim to be in Christ. 

457
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,400
Therefore you claim that 
righteousness has been imputed 

458
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,640
to you. 
You no longer have anything in 

459
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,000
common with wickedness. 
You're a new creation. 

460
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,240
Amen, He goes. 
On he says or what fellowship 

461
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,520
can light have with darkness? 
None. 

462
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,280
What's these rhetorical 
questions? 

463
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:54,680
None. 
But you don't understand, Kirk. 

464
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,120
I go. 
I went to high school with those

465
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:58,720
boys and sometimes we get 
together and we just relive the 

466
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,760
old days and get drunk together 
and party and none. 

467
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,040
Did you hear? 
Me. 

468
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,320
What fellowship can light have 
with Dortons? 

469
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,600
None. 
What harmony is there between 

470
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,200
Christ and Belial? 
Christ and an idol? 

471
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,440
No harmony at all. 
They don't. 

472
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,680
John, what does a believer have 
in common with an unbeliever? 

473
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,560
Remember, these have been 
rhetorical all this whole time. 

474
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,000
Still rhetorical. 
What does a believer have in 

475
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,640
common with an unbeliever? 
Watch nothing, he said. 

476
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,760
Well, Kirk, wait a minute. 
I have lots in common with my 

477
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,240
old lost friends. 
You have a problem. 

478
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,840
You have a problem if you have 
something in common with your 

479
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,480
old friends, because you notice 
the world's interests are 

480
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,760
different, the world's thinking 
different, and your thinking 

481
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,240
ought to be opposite of theirs. 
Watch what Paul continues to 

482
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,800
teach. 
What agreement is there between 

483
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,160
the temple of God and idols? 
We know nothing. 

484
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,120
Now watch him turn it on us. 
For we are the temple of the 

485
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,120
living God. 
Oh, how far too often we forget 

486
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:09,040
that. 
Dragging the temple of God into 

487
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,800
the tents of the wicked. 
Well, often we forget who we are

488
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,920
in Christ. 
Or maybe, perhaps we don't know 

489
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,440
who we are in Christ, or if 
we're in Christ at all. 

490
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,400
He says, as God said, I will 
live with them and walk among 

491
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,200
them, and they and we will be 
their God and they will be my 

492
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,080
people. 
Watch because of this. 

493
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,920
Therefore, because of everything
that I told you, that that you 

494
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,480
have nothing in common with the 
world any longer. 

495
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,840
In fact, you want to be hating 
the wicked influence of the 

496
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,720
world. 
He says therefore come out from 

497
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,360
them and be. 
Separate, says the Lord. 

498
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,480
Touch no unclean thing, and I 
will receive you. 

499
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:51,880
He's calling us here to distance
ourselves from evil. 

500
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,560
In fact, James speaks in a 
little stronger terms in this. 

501
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:01,040
Watch what he says in James 4/4.
He says you adulterous people. 

502
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,440
Now what? 
What he's not talking about is 

503
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,400
someone who's sleeping with 
another man's wife or or another

504
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,640
man, a woman sleeping with 
another man's husband. 

505
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,080
He's not saying that. 
He's using that metaphorically 

506
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,080
here to talk about spiritual 
adultery, he said. 

507
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,600
You adulterous people, don't you
know that friendship with the 

508
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,640
world is hatred toward God? 
Anyone who chooses to be a 

509
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,280
friend of the world becomes an 
enemy. 

510
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,000
Of God. 
What is He telling us? 

511
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,000
He's telling us to distance 
ourselves from evil, to distance

512
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,480
ourselves from the evil 
influence of this world. 

513
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:41,600
And if you hate the influence of
wickedness? 

514
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,560
That won't be a difficult thing 
for you to do, will it? 

515
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:54,360
But if you still love the 
influence of the world, you're 

516
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,640
going to have a hard time 
departing, aren't you? 

517
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,080
Because deep down, you don't 
hate. 

518
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,480
The influence of the wicked. 
Deep down you still love the 

519
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,560
things of the world. 
That's why you're clinging to 

520
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:07,960
them. 
That's why you're holding on to 

521
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:08,920
them. 
That's why you're still 

522
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,640
participating in them. 
That's why you have not come out

523
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,840
and made yourself separate from 
the world as the word of God 

524
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,640
declares that we are to do. 
He says away from me, you evil 

525
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,920
doers, that I may keep the 
commands of my God. 

526
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,520
He says keeping the commands of 
God are more important to me 

527
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,760
than fitting in with the wicked.
So the psalmist said. 

528
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,640
He said I would rather. 
Be a doorkeeper in the House of 

529
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:37,040
the Lord than to dwell in the 
tents of the wicked. 

530
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,480
But it's interesting in today's 
church culture, we think as. 

531
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:49,840
Believers that we should come to
church on Sunday and then dwell 

532
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,120
in the tents of the wicked 
anytime that we want because 

533
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,520
really, deep down, we still love
wickedness. 

534
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,720
And we have no hatred for the 
influence that wickedness has 

535
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,720
upon us and upon others. 
So the psalmist here removing 

536
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,760
himself from the presence of the
wicked. 

537
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,320
Away from me, you evil. 
Doers that I may keep the 

538
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,800
commands of my God, and then he 
says in 116, sustain me 

539
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,800
according to your promise, and I
will live. 

540
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,120
Do not let my hopes be dashed. 
What is he doing here? 

541
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,720
He's not only removing himself 
from the presence of the wicked,

542
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,680
He's relying on God's Word in 
the midst of this. 

543
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,400
He's relying on the Word of God 
for strength. 

544
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,880
For life, for hope. 
We see all those in verse 116, 

545
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,160
trusting in God's Word as an 
anchor for his entire life. 

546
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,880
Yes, maybe I have no more 
friends, but according to the 

547
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,080
Word of God, I have a friend who
sticks closer than a brother, 

548
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,760
and I will rest in that. 
And he asked the Lord to sustain

549
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,200
me according to your promise. 
You've promised you'll never 

550
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,440
leave me, you'll never forsake 
me. 

551
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,400
That you are that friend that 
sticks closer than a brother. 

552
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,840
And I will value you more than I
value the influence of the 

553
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,400
wicked and what it once had upon
my life. 

554
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,240
Relying on God's Word, trusting 
in His Word as that anchor, 

555
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,720
refusing to be influenced by the
opinions of the world, but 

556
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,840
instead influenced by the truth 
of God's Word. 

557
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,240
We have said that the church has
found itself in a condition and 

558
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,760
in a state where we're so 
concerned with the opinions of 

559
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,080
the world. 
The opinions of the world do not

560
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,840
matter to the true Christian. 
What matters is what does God 

561
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,520
say in His Word? 
Because in what He says in His 

562
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,160
Word, he reveals to us His 
thoughts. 

563
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,040
He reveals to us who He is, His 
characteristics and His 

564
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,400
attributes. 
We can truly know Him. 

565
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,640
We can truly know. 
The truth. 

566
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:54,360
In him. 
So many times instead of relying

567
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,800
on God's word, we rely on our 
feelings and we just want to be 

568
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:03,200
accepted by everyone. 
What a sad state the church is 

569
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:09,960
in because they want to make 
this a place of acceptance and 

570
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,400
forget that we ought to be a 
people who hate the influence of

571
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,040
the wicked. 
He says away from me, you evil 

572
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,440
doers, that I may keep your 
commands. 

573
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,600
I don't want you influencing me 
and causing me to be a 

574
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,000
disobedient to the things of 
God, dragging me into your mess.

575
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,600
Then he defers to the Lord in 
his help. 

576
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,080
He says sustain me according to 
your promise and I live. 

577
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,800
Don't let my hopes be dashed. 
I know that I can trust in you 

578
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,199
because I've tried trusting in 
the world. 

579
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:40,600
When I trust in the world and 
all their influence, I know what

580
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,520
that leaves me. 
Biblical hatred. 

581
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,120
Will despise the influence of 
the wicked upon their lives and 

582
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,679
upon the lives of others, and 
this hatred will motivate us 

583
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:57,920
toward being influenced by God's
Word instead of the influence of

584
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,480
the wicked world. 
Thirdly, we see this. 

585
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:09,560
Not only does biblical hatred 
confirm for us that there ought 

586
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,560
to be a hatred for the 
inclinations of the wicked and 

587
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,680
the influence of the wicked. 
Biblical hatred will be hatred 

588
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,640
for the indoctrination of the 
wicked. 

589
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,760
Look what happens next, he says,
uphold me and I will be 

590
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,800
delivered. 
I will always have regard for 

591
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,240
your decrees. 
You reject all who stray from 

592
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:33,040
your decrees, for their 
deceitfulness is in vain. 

593
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,480
Here we can contextually come to
the conclusion that now the 

594
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:41,320
psalmist is addressing the fact 
that the wicked are straying 

595
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:46,480
from the word of God and they 
are now indoctrinating through 

596
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,960
their deceitful practices, their
lies. 

597
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,120
They're now indoctrinating 
others. 

598
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:58,160
And he starts out with Lord, 
uphold me and I'll be delivered.

599
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,040
Delivered from what? 
The indoctrination of the 

600
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,800
wicked. 
And don't we know that the 

601
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,520
wicked is constantly trying to 
indoctrinate everyone? 

602
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,240
We see it in our elementary 
schools. 

603
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,000
We see it in our junior highs, 
we see it in our high schools, 

604
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,520
we see it in our colleges. 
Unfortunately, sad to say, we 

605
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,400
see it in our Christian colleges
and Christian universities today

606
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,480
where Wiccan. 
This is indoctrinating people. 

607
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,800
The Psalmist, you're saying I 
have a biblical holy hatred for 

608
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,920
the indoctrination of the 
wicked, how they come in with 

609
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,040
their lives and they come in 
with their deceit and they try 

610
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:36,280
to sidetrack people, he says. 
All in vain, Psalmist. 

611
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,960
Teaches us about hating this 
type of indoctrination. 

612
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:46,360
Knowing full well those who 
reject the scriptures that they 

613
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,880
will indoctrinate others to do 
exactly the same. 

614
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,920
Isn't that true? 
When you meet an atheist, you 

615
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,520
know what he wants to do. 
He wants to try to make you an 

616
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,080
atheist. 
He wants to give you 57,000 

617
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,400
reasons why you shouldn't 
believe in God. 

618
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,920
Too bad I'm already his. 
He's already purchased me by his

619
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:01,640
blood. 
He's revealed himself to me in 

620
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,600
such a way that you can't talk 
me out of it. 

621
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,120
When you meet someone who's been
a victim of false religion, 

622
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,240
false teaching, I don't care if 
that's Buddhism or the 

623
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:15,560
charismatic teachings that we 
see in the church today. 

624
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,360
What are they always trying to 
do? 

625
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,440
Indoctrinate you to their 
teachings, trying to show you 

626
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,000
how they're right. 
You know what they always do? 

627
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,480
They go to their feelings, they 
go to their opinions. 

628
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:25,480
They never go to the word of 
God. 

629
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,840
The psalmist here is saying is 
I'm going to the word of God and

630
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,320
I need the word of God to 
protect me and to uphold me. 

631
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,680
There's all these wicked 
influences are trying to 

632
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:41,280
indoctrinate me. 
Oh, he hates the influence of 

633
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,680
the wicked. 
He hates the indoctrination of 

634
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:49,160
the wicked because, you know, 
it's the danger that it comes. 

635
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,720
So this hatred for the 
indoctrination of the wicked, it

636
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:55,720
ought to be a great motivator in
our life, shouldn't it? 

637
00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:01,160
It ought to motivate us to 
safeguard ourselves and our 

638
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,720
families. 
Let me say that again, to 

639
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:09,080
safeguard ourselves and our 
families and as shepherds of 

640
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:15,720
this flock, this church, to 
safeguard US against wicked 

641
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,040
doctrines, wicked 
indoctrination. 

642
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,160
How do we do that? 
Well, just as the psalmist does 

643
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,360
here by regarding God's Word 
highly. 

644
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,960
He says uphold me and I will be 
delivered. 

645
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,200
I will always have regard for 
your decrees. 

646
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,920
He is regarding the word of God 
highly. 

647
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,240
You have high regard for 
Scriptures. 

648
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,280
At the end of the day, do you 
make every decision that you 

649
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,800
make based on what the Word of 
God teaches us? 

650
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,600
I pray that you would. 
I pray that you would consider 

651
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,640
that before something comes out 
of your mouth, before something 

652
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,720
comes out of your life. 
What does the Word of God say 

653
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:50,960
about this? 
Particular issue or this 

654
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,200
particular thing? 
So that you will safeguard 

655
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:57,560
yourself, so that you will be 
that. 

656
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:03,480
Person who regards the Word of 
God as the final answer, as the 

657
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,320
last word, refusing to 
compromise on that truth. 

658
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,520
But don't we live in an age of 
compromise? 

659
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,240
That's why so many people are 
being indoctrinated. 

660
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:16,320
We don't want to tell someone 
when they have false doctrine 

661
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,800
that that's false. 
We don't want to use the W. 

662
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,360
Word right. 
This is the worst word anybody 

663
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:22,120
can hear. 
You're wrong. 

664
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,680
Well, who do you think you are 
telling me I'm wrong? 

665
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,680
I don't think I'm anybody, but 
I'm telling you right now God's 

666
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,800
Word says you're wrong, 
therefore you are wrong and 

667
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,360
you're deceived, and I'm going 
to stop your deception from 

668
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,920
spreading everywhere like some 
kind of cancerous disease. 

669
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,800
The only way to cancel out false
teaching is true teaching. 

670
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,560
The only way to cancel out false
doctrine is true doctrine, 

671
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,360
biblical doctrine, sound 
teaching. 

672
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,600
And I know what many people say,
right? 

673
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:55,160
Is that really that important? 
Yes, your spiritual life is on 

674
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,120
the line. 
Doctrine is essential. 

675
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,600
It is important. 
The fool says things like this, 

676
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,200
and I've heard these things. 
I don't want all that doctrine 

677
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,320
in theology. 
I just want Jesus. 

678
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,000
You can't have Jesus without 
good doctrine and theology. 

679
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,520
You'll have the wrong Jesus. 
And unfortunately, the American 

680
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,320
church has bought into the wrong
Jesus because they've been 

681
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,120
indoctrinated to things about 
Jesus that are not biblical. 

682
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,480
And so we have to hold the 
Scriptures in high regard if 

683
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,680
we're going to safeguard against
the wicked doctrines and the 

684
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:29,040
wicked indoctrination that comes
against us and comes against our

685
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,760
families and our children. 
Refusing to compromise on the 

686
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,160
truth. 
First Timothy chapter 4 verse 

687
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,040
16. 
It says watch your life and 

688
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,080
doctrine closely. 
Persevere in them, because if 

689
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,320
you do, you will save both 
yourself. 

690
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,720
And your hearers, that's not 
just for the preachers, though 

691
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:46,480
it is for the preachers. 
That's for all of us. 

692
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,360
Did you know this? 
Every man in this room, are you 

693
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,520
looking at me? 
Are you listening? 

694
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,720
Every man who has a family raise
your hand. 

695
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,200
You are the prophet, priest, and
king of your home. 

696
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,480
You are influencing people 
toward the word of God, or you 

697
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,560
are influencing them toward 
wickedness. 

698
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,560
You have one or two options. 
So I pray that you would be men 

699
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:11,080
of God who lead your family in 
sound doctrine, watching your 

700
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,720
life and your doctrine closely, 
persevering in them. 

701
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,160
Because if you. 
Do you'll save not only you, but

702
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:20,680
everyone who hears your 
teaching? 

703
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,040
Dad? 
That's why it's important that 

704
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,720
you are your child's primary 
Bible teacher, because you can 

705
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:34,080
bet on this. 
There are voices after voices 

706
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:39,320
after voices that are trying to 
indoctrinate your children right

707
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:44,040
now to things that are utterly 
godless, that are completely 

708
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,760
wicked. 
You send them to a place for 8 

709
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:54,240
or 9 hours a day where they are 
being indoctrinated. 

710
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,720
To wickedness. 
You must teach them the truth. 

711
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:04,080
You must adhere to sound 
doctrine, saving yourself and 

712
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,840
those who hear you. 
It's important. 

713
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,280
Refuse to compromise on the 
truth. 

714
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,760
That's why Paul told Titus as 
well. 

715
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,960
You must teach what is in accord
with sound doctrine. 

716
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,040
Why? 
Because there's unsound doctrine

717
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,160
that is trying to indoctrinate 
people. 

718
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:24,040
Constantly, the psalmist said. 
I hate the indoctrination of the

719
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,840
wicked and so I safeguard 
against that. 

720
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,080
He says uphold me and I'll be 
delivered. 

721
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,040
I will always have regard for 
your decrees. 

722
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,840
This is how how do I find safety
against all this indoctrination?

723
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,240
How do I teach others to find 
that same safety in the word of 

724
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:40,280
God, in the word of God and the 
word of God of alone. 

725
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,120
He says in verse 118 you reject 
all who stray from your decrees 

726
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,200
for their deceitfulness is in 
vain. 

727
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,600
You know you need to do. 
When your hatred toward the 

728
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,320
indoctrination of the wicked, 
other than safeguarding against 

729
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,760
wicked doctrines, you know what 
you need to do. 

730
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,400
See their teachings as wicked. 
Don't call them anything else, 

731
00:42:58,640 --> 00:42:59,720
right? 
Don't call them anything else. 

732
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:03,920
When you learn that your third 
grader is being indoctrinated 

733
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,800
with the fact that women have 
rights and it's OK to somehow 

734
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:12,760
murder a baby #1 snatch them out
of that school immediately. 

735
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,680
Do not apologize. 
Do not let them make you feel 

736
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,520
bad. 
You teach your child about the 

737
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,400
sanctity of life. 
You teach them that every human 

738
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,840
being was created in the image 
of God. 

739
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:27,280
Every human being is valuable. 
Every life is important. 

740
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:35,000
When you as women have the 
wicked liberal women of this 

741
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,520
world trying to constantly 
indoctrinate you to not 

742
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,200
submitting to your husband as 
the leader of your home and not 

743
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,400
being a godly wife in your home 
and a godly mother telling you 

744
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,480
that you have rights and all the
other nonsense that they say. 

745
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,800
Telling us that because we 
adhere to the biblical model 

746
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,840
that that that we're just bigots
and we're holding you back. 

747
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:01,640
We're close minded, but you have
enough wherewithal to know the 

748
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:07,360
word of God and call those 
teachings wicked and evil 

749
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:13,240
because they are teachings. 
Let's shame a mother out of her 

750
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:18,120
role being what God intended her
to be, a godly woman who 

751
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,160
produces godly children because 
of a godly influence as she 

752
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,200
walks. 
The word of. 

753
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,320
God out before their very eyes. 
Don't let someone cheat you out 

754
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,840
of that. 
What a grace that God has given 

755
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,640
you. 
I remember when my children were

756
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,680
young, my wife would say silly 
things like I don't feel like I 

757
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,760
do anything important. 
Moms, you ever feel like that? 

758
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,280
I want you to listen to me. 
If you're a mother here in this 

759
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,800
room, I want you to raise your 
hand. 

760
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:46,880
I want you to look at me eye to 
eye. 

761
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,480
Right now you have one of the 
most important jobs in the 

762
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,640
world. 
The next generation is depending

763
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,360
upon you to teach them what 
godliness really looks like, to 

764
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,000
teach them what a woman of God. 
Who loves a man of God in the 

765
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,640
home really looks like you. 
Don't let this wicked world 

766
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,120
indoctrinate you to thinking 
that you don't have a purpose 

767
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,240
and that you don't have an 
important role in the Kingdom of

768
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:11,160
God. 
You have one of the most 

769
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,040
important roles in the Kingdom 
of God. 

770
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,160
So see it for what it is. 
And call their teachings wicked 

771
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,160
because that is what they are. 
They're wicked and they're 

772
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,160
unbiblical. 
So that's kind of mean. 

773
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,480
No, I kind of still believe the 
Scripture. 

774
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,200
I believe all of it, not just 
some of it, not just what I 

775
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:37,640
like. 
First Timothy chapter 4, verse 

776
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,880
6, it says if you point these 
things out to the brothers, you 

777
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,120
will be a good minister of 
Christ Jesus brought up in the 

778
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,760
truths of the faith and of the 
good teaching that you have 

779
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:47,720
followed. 
What is he talking about? 

780
00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:49,840
False teaching. 
If you point out true teaching 

781
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,560
in the midst of false teaching, 
in the midst of all their 

782
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,920
indoctrination that the world 
wants to give to us, to give to 

783
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,480
our children. 
If you point out the truth. 

784
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,680
The Word of God commends you 
here for doing so. 

785
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,520
See the teachings of the world 
as wicked, because that's what 

786
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,240
they are. 
Hate them. 

787
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,440
Call them exactly what they are.
You. 

788
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,680
Remember when Christians used to
call a spade a spade, they would

789
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:24,160
call sin sin, wickedness, 
wickedness, worldliness, 

790
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,440
worldliness. 
Things that were satanic, we 

791
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:35,680
called them satanic and we get 
back to not being afraid to hate

792
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,200
those things and to call them 
exactly what the word of God 

793
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:45,240
calls them. 
First Timothy chapter 4 gives us

794
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:46,120
this warning. 
Verse one. 

795
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,960
The Spirit clearly says that in 
latter times some will abandoned

796
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,480
the faith and follow deceiving 
spirits and things taught by 

797
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,800
demons. 
Such teachings come through 

798
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,680
hypocritical liars whose 
conscience consciences have been

799
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:03,600
seared as with a hot iron. 
What's Paul doing here? 

800
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:08,280
He's he's calling them what they
are, these people who are 

801
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,240
indoctrinating you and your 
children through all of the 

802
00:47:11,240 --> 00:47:12,720
influence that we have in this 
world. 

803
00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:14,920
And boy, don't we have it. 
Everybody's an influencer now, 

804
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,200
aren't they? 
And you all walk around with a 

805
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,880
little device that has all the 
idolatrous influencers popping 

806
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:28,000
out at you, constantly 
influencing you and 

807
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,960
indoctrinating you. 
Parents just tossing a kid a 

808
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,320
phone and saying here, 
entertain, entertain yourself 

809
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,360
for hours. 
Now you ought to hate the fact 

810
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,000
that they're being indoctrinated
by wickedness and take that 

811
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,520
thing away from them. 
It's real simple. 

812
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,640
You need to make a call here. 
Dial the number for them. 

813
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,960
Put it on speaker. 
When you make a text here, I'll 

814
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,640
type it for you, tell me what 
you want it to say, then I'll 

815
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,000
get the answer and tell you what
the other person says. 

816
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,680
But no, what we do is we are 
just careless, allowing 

817
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,680
indoctrination of the wicked to 
just pour into the lives of our 

818
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:05,280
family, not keeping tabs and 
sound teaching. 

819
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,680
It's important in our lives. 
So see the teachings of the 

820
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:15,560
wicked as wicked, and hate them.
You say, well, pastor, that 

821
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,800
seems kind of harsh. 
No, that's biblical hatred. 

822
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:23,440
How can I say that I love God 
and His Holiness and then not 

823
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,840
turn around and hate wickedness?
That's contrary, isn't it? 

824
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,760
I'm contradicting myself because
of God, who is holy, hates 

825
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,880
wickedness, and he has all the 
right to do so. 

826
00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:38,240
And I'm commanded in Scripture 
to hate that which is evil and 

827
00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:42,840
to cling to that which is good. 
Learn. 

828
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,760
They hate the indoctrination of 
the wicked. 

829
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,200
Why? 
So that you're not indoctrinated

830
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,680
by the wicked? 
So that your children, your 

831
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,760
wives are not indoctrinated by 
wickedness. 

832
00:48:54,760 --> 00:49:02,280
So biblical hatred will not be 
able to tolerate any kind of 

833
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,080
wickedness. 
Right, Because we live in a day 

834
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:13,160
of what tolerance, Christian? 
We can't be tolerant. 

835
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:22,800
Any longer we have to hate any 
influence and indoctrination 

836
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,000
from. 
The wicked see that there is a 

837
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:33,120
biblical mandate for that #4 
because I know you're all in a 

838
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,840
big hurry to get on your phones 
and leave and to tell someone 

839
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,800
that your preacher taught you 
how to hate today. 

840
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:49,840
Biblical hatred will be hatred 
for the inheritance of the 

841
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:55,640
wicked. 
This is great motivation. 

842
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,280
I want you to pay attention to 
what he says. 

843
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,720
All the wicked of the earth you 
discard like dross. 

844
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:02,960
He's saying it's like a 
refiner's fire. 

845
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,120
And what they do is they heat it
up to such a degree that all the

846
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,200
bad things come to the surface 
and then they skim it off the 

847
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,120
surface and they throw it away 
because it's useless. 

848
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,360
He says this. 
Is what's going to happen to all

849
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,760
the wicked, all the unbelieving,
all the unrepentant sinners? 

850
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,240
This is what's going to happen. 
God is going to discard them 

851
00:50:17,240 --> 00:50:20,640
like draws. 
We know that he's going to do 

852
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:26,920
this in hell for all eternity. 
He says Therefore, I love your 

853
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,080
statues. 
He said. 

854
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,520
I know what's going to happen to
the wicked. 

855
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,240
That's why I love your statues. 
Oh, you think that's not 

856
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:37,680
motivation? 
Church, pay attention to this. 

857
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,280
My flesh trembles in fear of 
you. 

858
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,440
I stand in awe of your laws. 
What's the psalmist doing here? 

859
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,440
He's seeing the eternal 
inheritance of the wicked, and 

860
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:52,000
he hates the future faith that 
awaits all unbelieving, 

861
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:56,440
unrepentant sinners. 
And we should hate the future 

862
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:02,520
judgment of those sinners as 
well we should hate. 

863
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,520
That there will be some who for 
all eternity receive the 

864
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:12,000
inheritance of the wicked. 
And for those of you in who are 

865
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,520
in Christ here today, let me let
me just grab you for a second. 

866
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:20,400
How can you love the eternal 
life that you have received 

867
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,800
freely in Christ because of His 
mercy based on His sacrifice? 

868
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:30,640
How can you love that? 
And at the same time not hate 

869
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,240
the fact that there are some who
won't repent who will spend an 

870
00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:38,320
eternity facing the second death
under the wrath of God in the 

871
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,320
lake of fire according to the 
word of God. 

872
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,520
I told you that hate is a great 
motivator. 

873
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,920
We see the psalmist here now 
being motivated by his hate that

874
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,000
involves the inheritance of the 
wicked. 

875
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,800
He knows that he. 
In and of. 

876
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,800
Himself is what wicked for all 
of sin to come short of the 

877
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,920
glory of God. 
He understands this. 

878
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,200
All the wicked of the earth you 
discard like dross, he said. 

879
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:05,080
Therefore, I love your statutes.
I'm not going to be discarded 

880
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,760
like dross. 
I'm going to obey what you've 

881
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,320
told me to obey in your word. 
I'm going to follow you. 

882
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,560
I'm going to surrender to you. 
I'm going to to to follow every 

883
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,240
command and every law that you 
have. 

884
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:16,680
These things are now important 
to me. 

885
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,640
He's motivated and watch this, 
he's motivated by coming 

886
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,320
judgment. 
I know we live in a church 

887
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,240
culture where we can't use 
coming judgement as motivation 

888
00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:33,480
anymore, right? 
Because if you start talking 

889
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,120
about the coming judgement when 
you're putting people in an 

890
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,280
awkward position, Pastor, don't 
you think that you might be 

891
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,800
scaring them? 
Don't you think that you might 

892
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,360
be causing them to be? 
Afraid of what lies ahead? 

893
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,720
Yes, I am. 
I want you to be very afraid. 

894
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:55,040
It is a scary thing to know that
you're going to pass from this 

895
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:58,880
life and you will not live for 
eternity like the believer, but 

896
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,160
you will die for all eternity in
hell. 

897
00:53:01,240 --> 00:53:06,520
That is a very scary thing that 
make no apologies about that. 

898
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,160
I pray that the coming judgement
would motivate you. 

899
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,200
It motivates me just like it 
motivated Christian in the 

900
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,320
pilgrims progress. 
When they said flee from the 

901
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:16,680
coming judgement, what did he 
do? 

902
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,720
He left his family, He left 
everybody who didn't want to go 

903
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:21,640
and he was going to the 
Celestial City. 

904
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:24,040
Why? 
Because the preacher told him 

905
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:25,880
that's what God's Word said that
he needed. 

906
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:32,080
To do the psalmist here doing 
the exact same thing, knowing. 

907
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,640
That the wicked will be 
discarded like dross. 

908
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,960
That there will be a judgement 
knowing what the word of God 

909
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,960
teaches us. 
Hebrews 927 Just as man is 

910
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:47,000
destined to die once, and after 
that to face judgement, you will

911
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,400
face the judgement of God. 
Let me make this very clear to 

912
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,720
all of you. 
You will stand. 

913
00:53:53,720 --> 00:53:58,960
Before God clothed in your 
unbelief and your sin. 

914
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,520
And all the wicked 
indoctrination that you received

915
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:06,080
in your life, and all of the 
wicked and evil things that you 

916
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,840
have participated in in your 
life, you will stand before God,

917
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:13,240
clothed in that, or you will 
stand before God clothed in the 

918
00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:15,160
imputed righteousness of Jesus 
Christ. 

919
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,040
Now watch this. 
One is going to hear this. 

920
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,920
The first one clothed in their 
own sin and their unbelief will 

921
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,360
hear. 
Depart from me, you worker of 

922
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:29,760
iniquity, for I never knew you. 
And those who are clothed in the

923
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:36,560
righteousness of Jesus Christ be
welcomed into the Kingdom of 

924
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:40,320
heaven for all eternity, not 
based on anything that they have

925
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,720
done, but based on what Christ 
has done for them at the cross. 

926
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,960
And they will hear because of 
Christ well done by good and 

927
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:54,000
faithful servant, you may enter 
in to the Kingdom that has been 

928
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,000
reserved for you. 
Now I want you to think about 

929
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:58,280
that for. 
Just a moment because you don't 

930
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:04,840
have 1/3 option. 
Judgment is coming and we must 

931
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:09,120
have a hatred for the fact that 
there are some who will inherit 

932
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:11,600
what is coming to the wicked. 
What is that? 

933
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,200
The wrath of God, The 
indignation of God for all 

934
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:18,960
eternity. 
That is your inheritance, and I 

935
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,000
hate to think that I stand 
before you as a man who has been

936
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,680
cleansed through the precious 
blood of Jesus Christ, who has 

937
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:29,800
received mercy from Him and to 
not. 

938
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,720
Offer you the hope. 
That is available in Christ 

939
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:37,080
according to the word of God. 
The psalmist here being 

940
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:43,240
motivated by coming judgement, 
the judgement that is non 

941
00:55:43,240 --> 00:55:48,120
negotiable, that will not be 
delayed that that will come at 

942
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,880
the appointed time. 
In fact, Acts chapter 17 verse 

943
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,280
31. 
It says this for he. 

944
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,120
Has set a day and he will judge 
the world with justice by the 

945
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,480
man he has appointed. 
He has given proof of this to 

946
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,240
all men by raising him from the 
dead. 

947
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:06,800
He said there will be a day that
Jesus judges the sinners, all of

948
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:14,400
us, and He will judge you for 
the deeds that you have done in 

949
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:21,880
your wickedness, or He will 
reward you for the righteous 

950
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,600
works that are found in those 
who are in Christ. 

951
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:31,680
Which side of this judgment do 
you want to experience? 

952
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,440
Oh, the fact that there is 
judgment ought to motivate us. 

953
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,520
Shouldn't it ought to motivate 
us to adhere to God's Word. 

954
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,920
And what does God's Word say 
about the coming judgment? 

955
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,920
That unless you flee from your 
sin and you turn to Christ as 

956
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,320
Lord and Savior, you will face 
the wrath of God for all 

957
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:52,120
eternity in hell. 
Scripture is ultimately clear on

958
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,520
that. 
And I can't make it say anything

959
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,640
else. 
Even when all the liberals want 

960
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,840
me to tone it down just a little
bit, I can't tone it down. 

961
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,080
It is what it is and it says 
what it says, and it ought to 

962
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,560
motivate us, that hatred for the
fact that there will be people 

963
00:57:09,720 --> 00:57:12,880
who spend eternity in hell 
because they refuse to repent 

964
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,640
and they do not turn to Jesus. 
Christ as Lord and Savior. 

965
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,120
That ought to motivate 1. 
To adhere to God's Word, loving 

966
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:24,440
and living the truth of His Word
as found in Scripture. 

967
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:31,800
Motivated to avoid the 
inheritance of the wicked at all

968
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:32,880
costs. 
And how do we do that? 

969
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,080
How does a person avoid the 
inheritance of the wicked? 

970
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:38,880
By surrendering an obedience to 
Christ. 

971
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,720
Completely surrendering to 
obedience in Christ. 

972
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:50,000
Follow His decrees. 
To do what his word says fact 

973
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,880
Ephesians chapter 5 verse one 
says be imitators of God 

974
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,160
therefore is dearly loved 
children. 

975
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,400
If you're in Christ, pay 
attention to this and live a 

976
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,400
life of love, just as Christ 
loved us and gave himself up for

977
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,560
us as a fragrant offering and 
sacrifice to God, He's. 

978
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,720
Going to tell us how to live. 
He's going to tell us that our 

979
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:06,760
life should be opposite of that 
of the wicked, he says. 

980
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,640
But among you, there must not be
even a hint of sexual immorality

981
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:14,360
that includes pornography. 
Men, you think that I don't know

982
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,720
that it's a problem? 
I know the statistics. 

983
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,440
I deal with the aftermath. 
Don't act all shocked. 

984
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,480
You know it's a problem, he 
says. 

985
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:29,240
Any hint of it or any kind of 
impurity or of greed, even the 

986
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:33,920
American dream that we have 
justified because these are 

987
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,320
improper for God's holy people. 
Nor should there be obscenity, 

988
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,840
foolish talk or coarse joking. 
And there goes your dirty jokes,

989
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,680
there goes your foul language, 
he says. 

990
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:49,160
Which are out of place, but 
rather Thanksgiving, for of this

991
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,640
you can be sure. 
Are you listening? 

992
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,520
No immoral and pure or greedy 
person, such a man as an 

993
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:02,960
idolater, has any inheritance in
the Kingdom of Christ and of 

994
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:04,120
God. 
His inheritance is the 

995
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,720
inheritance of the wicked. 
And then he says this. 

996
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:10,080
Pay attention to it. 
Let no one deceive you with 

997
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,120
empty words. 
Don't let somebody tell you. 

998
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,920
And because you prayed this 
little prayer, maybe you walked 

999
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,920
an aisle, you filled out a card.
But your life has never changed.

1000
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,400
Let someone tell you 
everything's OK. 

1001
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,200
Let no one deceive you with 
empty words. 

1002
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,560
For because of such things, 
God's wrath comes on those who 

1003
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:32,520
are disobedient. 
There's a coming judgement for 

1004
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:33,880
the wicked, and it ought to 
motivate. 

1005
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:37,200
Us and what it what should it 
motivate us toward? 

1006
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,520
The only hope that we have that 
hopes Christ. 

1007
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,040
That are motivated toward that 
hope, not only should it 

1008
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,880
motivate us toward that hope so 
that we can avoid the 

1009
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:51,640
inheritance of the wicked, 
because the only way that you're

1010
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,200
going to get out of any of the 
judgement upon the wicked and 

1011
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,680
the unbelieving is the trust in 
Jesus. 

1012
00:59:55,680 --> 01:00:01,680
Christ as your Lord and Savior, 
but also hatred for the 

1013
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,600
inheritance of the wicked ought 
to also motivate us in another 

1014
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,280
area of our life that we don't 
often talk about, and that's 

1015
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,880
this. 
How about hatred for the 

1016
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,000
inheritance of the wicked? 
The fact that people are going 

1017
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,320
to spend an eternity in hell if 
they don't repent and turn to 

1018
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,360
Christ? 
How about that hatred actually 

1019
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:23,200
motivating? 
Us to share the hope that we 

1020
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:30,760
have with others, you know, 
actually caring is that you have

1021
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,480
a loved one or a family member 
or a friend or a stranger in 

1022
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:38,560
Walmart who is still in their 
sin. 

1023
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:44,360
Still facing the judgement of 
God, lest God intervene with His

1024
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,560
mercy in Christ. 
And we know how it works. 

1025
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,720
They can't believe unless 
someone tells them. 

1026
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,080
How can they know lest they 
preach or tell them? 

1027
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,040
Did you know this? 
I'm not the only preacher in the

1028
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:56,880
room. 
All of you who claim to be in 

1029
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:58,520
Christ ought to be preaching the
gospel. 

1030
01:00:58,520 --> 01:00:59,560
Why? 
It's the power of God unto 

1031
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,080
salvation for all who believe. 
You want to be going out and you

1032
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:04,840
ought to be sharing the gospel 
with these people. 

1033
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,800
You ought to see that person 
who's on their way to hell. 

1034
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,400
And you ought not to have the 
attitude, Oh, who cares? 

1035
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:16,520
I'm on my way to heaven. 
I ought to motivate you to get 

1036
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,880
on your face and to pray for 
their soul, and then to ask that

1037
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,280
God would give you the exact 
words to share with them 

1038
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,840
regarding the gospel through His
holy Scriptures. 

1039
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,440
And you ought to take those 
scriptures, and you ought to 

1040
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:33,880
approach that person with love 
in your heart and fire and your 

1041
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:38,520
voice, and you want to tell them
the truth about the only hope 

1042
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,520
that sinners have, and that is 
the hope of Jesus Christ. 

1043
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:45,680
The fact that there is a coming 
inheritance for the wicked ought

1044
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:50,080
to motivate you to share the 
gospel you ought to hate. 

1045
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,640
The fact that some of your loved
ones are going to spend an 

1046
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:57,480
eternity in hell, you ought to 
hate that enough that you share 

1047
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:03,080
with them the only message that 
can be heard that gives man 

1048
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:08,000
hope. 
It gives man hope, forgiveness, 

1049
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:12,800
and eternal life. 
It gives man hope instead of 

1050
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:17,400
eternal damnation. 
You ought to be motivated by 

1051
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,680
that hatred, that hatred for the
inheritance of the wicked, 

1052
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,600
motivated enough to really share
the gospel with them. 

1053
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:34,280
And I believe this to be true. 
If we really hate the thought of

1054
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:42,680
anyone inheriting hell for all 
eternity, we will be motivated 

1055
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:48,080
to tell everyone about the 
Christ who rescues sinners from 

1056
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,600
hell. 
Fair enough. 

1057
01:02:53,520 --> 01:03:01,360
Sad to think how many Christians
set back on their way to eternal

1058
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:06,320
bliss while others are on their 
way to eternal damnation. 

1059
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,800
We have the only message that 
can save them, and we keep it to

1060
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,960
ourselves. 
You don't quite hate the 

1061
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:18,960
inheritance of the wicked. 
Yet the psalmist here hating the

1062
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,960
inheritance of the wicked, 
motivated by the coming 

1063
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,520
judgement that he knows is upon 
us. 

1064
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,920
And secondly, we see that he's 
moved to fear and reverence 

1065
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,800
because of this. 
Look, in 1/20 he says, my flesh 

1066
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:36,360
trembles in fear of you. 
I stand in all of your laws. 

1067
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,000
You know, Proverbs 910 still 
says what it's always said. 

1068
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,240
The fear of the Lord is the 
beginning of wisdom. 

1069
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,400
Knowledge of the Holy One is 
understanding. 

1070
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,800
Here we see the psalmist has 
wisdom and understanding from 

1071
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,000
God. 
How do we know that? 

1072
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:56,120
We see his fear of the Lord. 
We see him honoring God's power 

1073
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,680
here as sovereign judge, he 
says. 

1074
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:01,640
All the wicked of the earth you 
discard like dross. 

1075
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,160
You're the sovereign judge, he 
says. 

1076
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,440
Therefore I love your statutes 
because you are that sovereign 

1077
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,360
judge, he says. 
My flesh trembles in fear of 

1078
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,440
you. 
I stand in awe of your laws. 

1079
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,320
He's honoring God, his sovereign
judge, but he's also honoring 

1080
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,640
God's position here, not only 
his power, but his position. 

1081
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,200
He honors his position, 
recognizing Him as supreme 

1082
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:20,960
authority. 
He is the lawgiver. 

1083
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,320
He set these laws in motion. 
He has some authority. 

1084
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:26,320
Do you notice the law of 
gravity? 

1085
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:34,520
You know who set that in motion?
God, you know, said who? 

1086
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,960
You know who said his word in 
motion, His law that his Word 

1087
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,720
contains God himself. 
The psalmist here is properly 

1088
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,040
revering God. 
He's honoring God's power, a 

1089
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:45,960
sovereign judge, and he's 
honoring God's position as 

1090
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,760
supreme authority, and he's 
doing this why? 

1091
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:58,560
Out of surrender to who he is, 
He hates the inheritance of the 

1092
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:00,400
wicked. 
And So what does he do? 

1093
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:10,560
He bows his knee to the one true
God, showing him honor and 

1094
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:15,600
reverence, surrendering to him 
as he should. 

1095
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,720
My flesh trembles in fear of 
you. 

1096
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,880
I stand in all of your laws, he 
says. 

1097
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,000
I know that you are the coming 
judge. 

1098
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:28,560
We will throw the unbeliever 
out, discard them like dross, 

1099
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,200
and put them in hell for all 
eternity because of your 

1100
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:33,640
indignation towards sin and 
wickedness. 

1101
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:40,920
And he says, Therefore I love 
your statutes, because in your 

1102
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,680
statutes I find mercy and I find
forgiveness, and I bow before 

1103
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:58,040
you trembling in fear of you. 
I believe no one or not many 

1104
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:03,480
people find themselves trembling
in the presence of God because 

1105
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,800
they don't have any real. 
Biblical hatred for wickedness. 

1106
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,760
Why is the psalmist trembling in
the presence of God? 

1107
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:12,920
Because he knows this. 
He knows rightfully. 

1108
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,400
He ought to be judged as well 
and cast out with the dross. 

1109
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,680
But God has exercised mercy on 
him. 

1110
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,840
And because He has exercised 
mercy, the proper response is to

1111
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:30,840
bow and submission and worship 
in holy fear of who He is, 

1112
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:36,080
honoring Him, honoring His 
power, and his position as 

1113
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,200
sovereign judge and supreme 
authority. 

1114
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,680
So biblical hatred includes a 
hatred for the fact that all 

1115
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,880
unbelieving sinners apart from 
Christ will be discarded and 

1116
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,800
cast into the lake of fire, 
which is the second death. 

1117
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,080
This should motivate us. 
It should motivate us to 

1118
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,000
holiness. 
It should motivate us to 

1119
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,920
evangelism. 
It should motivate us to worship

1120
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,600
and to be in awe of God and who 
he is. 

1121
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,600
This hatred should motivate us. 
And so we've seen biblical 

1122
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:11,240
hatred and the life of the 
psalmist here today teaching us 

1123
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:15,360
some things, teaching us that 
biblical hatred will be hatred 

1124
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:16,800
for the inclinations of the 
wicked. 

1125
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,720
Biblical hatred will be hatred 
toward the influences of wicked.

1126
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:27,200
Biblical hatred will be hatred 
for the indoctrination of the 

1127
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:28,360
wicked. 
All the things that they are 

1128
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:32,080
constantly pumping out, pumping 
into our homes, we won't 

1129
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:37,600
tolerate that any longer. 
Biblical hatred will be hatred 

1130
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:43,480
for the inheritance of the 
wicked, hating the fact that 

1131
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:49,120
many will spend an eternity in 
hell and often times we walk 

1132
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:56,720
past them in the shopping malls,
in the workplace, in the grocery

1133
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:02,440
store with not a second thought 
about what's going to happen to 

1134
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,880
their wicked soul lest they 
repent and turn to Christ. 

1135
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,960
So Christian, I ask you this, do
you hate biblically? 

1136
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,480
Do you do you hate biblically? 
Do you hate what God hates? 

1137
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:19,399
And do you love what God loves, 
as His Word has revealed to us? 

1138
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,319
Because there's a huge problem 
in the church. 

1139
01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:28,840
You know what the problem is? 
We openly love things that God 

1140
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:33,000
says He hates in His Word and 
shouldn't be. 

1141
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,560
So I pray that the Spirit would 
convict you and that you would 

1142
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:40,800
repent of any of those things 
this very day to the unbeliever.

1143
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:47,040
Your sin, your love for the 
world, your love for wickedness,

1144
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:49,840
it proves that you don't love 
Christ. 

1145
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,560
This is not a game. 
The proof is in the pudding. 

1146
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,200
It proves that you don't love 
Christ. 

1147
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,600
In fact, John chapter 3 verse 19
says this is the verdict. 

1148
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,040
Light is coming to the world, 
that men love darkness instead 

1149
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:01,479
of light because their deeds 
were evil. 

1150
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:03,840
Everyone who does evil hates the
light. 

1151
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,680
And we're not coming to the 
light for fear that his deeds 

1152
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,040
will be exposed. 
But whoever lives by the truth 

1153
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,120
comes into the light so that it 
may be seen plainly that what he

1154
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,560
has done has been done through 
God. 

1155
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,840
I pray today that though maybe 
your entire life you have lived 

1156
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:23,080
it in darkness. 
I pray today that God would have

1157
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:24,920
mercy on you, that he would 
bring you into the light. 

1158
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,760
That he's even doing that now, 
showing you your need for Jesus 

1159
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:31,720
Christ as your Lord and Savior. 
That you truly would repent of 

1160
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:36,160
your sin and turn to Christ 
today as the one who came to die

1161
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:39,399
on a cross, who was buried, and 
who rose again victoriously so 

1162
01:09:39,399 --> 01:09:43,560
that you can receive new life 
and forgiveness of sin this very

1163
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,680
day. 
My prayer that God in His mercy 

1164
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,960
would turn your heart to Christ,
that you would believe and you 

1165
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:50,720
would confess him as Lord. 
This morning. 

1166
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:52,520
Let's pray together. 
Father, in the name of Jesus, we

1167
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,440
come to you. 
Thanking you so much for your 

1168
01:09:55,440 --> 01:09:57,480
word. 
But I know the. 

1169
01:09:57,480 --> 01:10:00,840
Topic that we have addressed 
today is not a very popular one,

1170
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,800
but I pray that we have seen 
that it is a very biblical 1 

1171
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:11,200
Lord, that we would live our 
lives hating the things that you

1172
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:12,680
hate and clinging to what is 
good. 

1173
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:18,160
Loving the things that you love.
God, I pray that we would hate 

1174
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:22,560
every single inclination and 
abiding sin in our life. 

1175
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:26,560
First and foremost. 
That we would run to Your word 

1176
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:30,840
for truth in those areas, dying 
to ourselves, repenting of our 

1177
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:35,840
sin. 
God, I pray for the lost soul 

1178
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,720
who's here today who doesn't 
know you. 

1179
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,320
Lord, they are so dependent upon
Your mercy right now, they don't

1180
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:44,800
even know it. 
Lord, I ask that in your 

1181
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:48,960
kindness You would lead them to 
repentance this morning, 

1182
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,800
showering them with mercy and 
love and grace and forgiveness 

1183
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,480
in Christ. 
We pray all these things in the 

1184
01:10:55,480 --> 01:11:00,480
mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
