1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120 In the name of the glorious Trinity, Father and Son and Holy 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,840 Spirit, forever Amen. Glory be to the everlasting 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,720 mercies which sent you to us, O Christ, the light of the world 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,480 and the life of all. Give us wisdom by your law and 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,480 enlighten our impulses by Your knowledge. 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,560 Sanctify our souls by Your truth and grant that we may be 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,040 obedient to Your words and may fulfil Your commandments at 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,320 every hour. O You who enlightens the 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,480 rational with the knowledge of Your greatness, do enlight, O my 10 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,320 Lord, our thoughts, that we may meditate upon your holy and 11 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,680 divine Scriptures at all times. O Lord of all, Father and Son 12 00:00:39,840 --> 00:01:02,310 and Holy Spirit, forever Amen. The past few weeks, events 13 00:01:02,350 --> 00:01:07,230 extending from the assassination attempt on the former President 14 00:01:07,230 --> 00:01:12,640 Donald Trump, the up and coming crucial the presidential 15 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,160 elections, the US presidential elections, and a threat to 16 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,640 morality and ethics by the mockery and blasphemy witnessed 17 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,240 at the opening of the 2024 Olympic Games in France on. 18 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,120 Basically, Christianity and Christ seem to have had 19 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,720 Christians on the edge of their seats while astonished and 20 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,400 shaken and, you know, somewhat disappointed and rightly so, 21 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,680 rightly so. You know, we say leave us alone. 22 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,320 But being Christians of God, believers in his Son, having the 23 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:58,880 Holy Spirit dwelling within all of us Christians, we not so much 24 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,920 want to react to what happens. We don't want to be reactive, 25 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,080 but rather warn those who oppose, reject, disrespect and 26 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,160 blasphemy, Christ's ways, truth and life to repent. 27 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,160 We call them to repentance and to be delivered from the fire of 28 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,720 the eternal hell that awaits not only them, but also those who 29 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:31,840 agree and condone their foolish blasphemy or blasphemy. 30 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,840 The foolish blasphemy against Jesus Christ. 31 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,080 You see, praise and glory be to His name and all. 32 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,960 Everyone say Amen each time you hear the name of our Lord Jesus 33 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,360 Christ. Each time praise, glory, honor, 34 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,760 worship and confession has been ascribed to His only name. 35 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,640 Wherever you are, don't be reluctant, just say Amen. 36 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,240 People may look at you a little strangely because they'll just 37 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,400 hear you say Amen, but agree to it, praise to His name. 38 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,840 Christ has never needed us or has commanded us or asked us to 39 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,760 defend Him. Beloved, he hasn't asked asked 40 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,200 for our defense at all. What was His instructions to 41 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,160 Saint Simon the Rock when Simon was trying to defend and protect 42 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,040 Christ right in the Garden of Gethsemane from the high priest 43 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,840 servant Malchius? What did Jesus instruct? 44 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,600 What was Jesus's reply and response in Matthew chapter 26 45 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,160 verse 52? Return the sword to its place. 46 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,880 Simon, do you think that I cannot ask my Father and he 47 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:50,160 would raise up for me now more than 12 legions now each legions 48 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,640 has said to be three to 6000 in units. 49 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,920 So let's take the maximum 6000 * 12. 50 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:06,840 You do the math 72,000 plus more than 72,000 angels. 51 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,880 And I've always said these are not little babies in the nude 52 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,240 fondling themselves, as sometimes they are wrongly and 53 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,760 blasphemously depicted. No, these are angels with six 54 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,480 wings to each one of them. With two, they cover their 55 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,080 faces. So they they're not they cannot 56 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,600 gaze at the glory. With two, they cover their 57 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,320 bodies. They are that they are not 58 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:37,040 burned by the the flame. And with two they continue to 59 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:43,000 fly and praise the Lord Jesus Christ and God the almighty 60 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,280 creator. So we don't need to defend Jesus 61 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:52,560 Christ, not Christianity in Deuteronomy chapter 32, verse 62 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,560 35. God praise his name, this is 63 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,240 his. These are his instructions, 64 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,920 beloved, vengeance is mine, for I shall pay them in a time when 65 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,120 their feet will slip. There will come a time when 66 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,040 these people's feet will slip because that day of their 67 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,440 breaking is near, and the thing that is coming hurries toward 68 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,280 them. That is the the fiery and the 69 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,040 righteous judgement of our Jesus Christ on the last day or even 70 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,960 on earth. So one more time, you know, I'm 71 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,240 not here to say, you know, don't make a noise. 72 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,400 Don't do anything. No, but our, our main purpose 73 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:43,200 for making noises and responding is that it should be the focal 74 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,080 purpose should be for them to repent. 75 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:50,640 You are kicking against pricks. Don't. 76 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,960 You'll come out second best. You may hurt my feelings, you 77 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,960 may disappoint me, You may draw me to anger and even wrath. 78 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,640 Because I'm human, I'm weak. But my Lord, you cannot at all 79 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,920 influence, you cannot take away from His glory. 80 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:15,600 Praise be to His name. We are instructed to not so much 81 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,720 as to defend the faith. Beloved, we don't need to even 82 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,920 defend the faith, but rather the Scriptures teach us that we are 83 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,560 to give an answer. So let's leave the enemies, 84 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,960 let's bring them home. Do you know the Scriptures? 85 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,560 Do you know the instructions, the precepts, the stories in the 86 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,360 Scriptures? If not, don't try to defend 87 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,320 Jesus Christ. He doesn't need any defending. 88 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:52,600 No, we have been called to give an answer or a reason and that 89 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,680 for the hope of our faith. Not even the Scriptures, not 90 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,880 even defending the Scriptures, not even defending the faith, 91 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,880 but give a reason for the hope of our faith. 92 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,600 Why are you so tolerant? You know, someone said a lot of 93 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,680 non Christians, the atheists, the gnostics and you know, other 94 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,240 faiths, you know, question the Christians. 95 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,200 Why are you not so reactive? Why do you not do what other 96 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,800 religions do when they're author of their, you know, blind faith 97 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,560 is attacked? Why? 98 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,360 Well, we are portraying Jesus Christ, praise be to his name. 99 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,960 We have a hope in Jesus Christ that even if they shall kill us 100 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,360 and do that in the name of Allah or God, we have the 101 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,240 resurrection. Praise be to his name. 102 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,600 The tomb is empty. Praise be to his name. 103 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:50,080 Their authors, their leaders may be requiring defending. 104 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,640 They may need defending, but our Lord does not need defending 105 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,760 because He's, He is alive. That's why. 106 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:03,360 And when we do respond, should be in humility and seriousness. 107 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:10,560 Give an answer of the truth, the uniqueness, the necessity of 108 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,960 faith in Jesus Christ. Not defend Christianity or the 109 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,360 Holy Scriptures or the Holy Church. 110 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,200 It's document, it's a doctrines and liturgy and sacraments. 111 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,560 But give an answer. Why do we have that hope and 112 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,240 faith according to the scriptures in Jesus Christ? 113 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,039 More importantly, beloved, in our annoyance and 114 00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:39,760 disappointment, we must be extremely cautious and prudent 115 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:46,760 lest we fall in Satan's snare where he's trying to destruct us 116 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,920 and take a focus off our own flaws and shortcomings and 117 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,080 inequities in our relationship with God. 118 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,120 That is our love, reverence, and obedience to God. 119 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,200 If I'm not obedient to God, if I'm not obedient to His Son, our 120 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,800 Lord Jesus Christ, if I'm not obedient to His Spirit, the Holy 121 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,200 Spirit, if I'm not obedient to the Holy Scriptures, His written 122 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,360 word, if I'm not obedient to His Holy Church, His Body, His 123 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,360 bridegroom, what am I doing trying to defend Christ? 124 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,360 Don't expect the reward. Don't expect to be pat on the 125 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,520 back because you defended Jesus Christ. 126 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:32,200 Again, our Lord does not need defending. 127 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:39,640 Beloved, be careful that during these times, be cautious that 128 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:45,560 Satan does not take our focus and attention away, away from 129 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:49,720 our walk with Christ. That is by faith in the Spirit, 130 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,520 in a manner worthy to Our Calling as children of light, 131 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,360 not defending Christ who is the light. 132 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:07,360 Yet I myself am in darkness through my understanding and my 133 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:15,160 conduct in the world. Be sure that my life is 134 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,240 according to the Holy Scriptures and the demands of the Holy 135 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,440 Scriptures. In fear, I obey the Scriptures. 136 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,400 I live the Scriptures in fear, in awe, and in trembling before 137 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,400 our gracious Lord God. Let us always keep in mind that 138 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:37,320 what God has said, beloved, what God has established, what God 139 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:43,480 has confirmed with His Word, no president, no vice president, no 140 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:50,720 games, no Hollywood, no picture, no music can alter or affect it. 141 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:59,120 What God again has established and confirmed with His Word by 142 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,920 His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ and through his Spirit will 143 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:09,400 never be shaken and cannot be influenced by man's evil, hatred 144 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,240 and disrespect towards him. Let's like have a look at his 145 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,520 word in Isaiah chapter 51 verse 11. 146 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,400 We read thus. This is God speaking thus my 147 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:26,200 word shall be that proceeds from my mouth and it shall not return 148 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,520 to me empty handed. You know, it's not like we 149 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:38,360 threaten our children sometimes if you do this Paramanoh, the 150 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,000 the severity of the punishment of for our fathers would 151 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,600 sometimes threaten us with paramanoh. 152 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,640 And then you do what you want to do and you're not prima. 153 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:54,400 But when God's words have proceeded from his mouth, they 154 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,840 are not empty. They don't return empty handed. 155 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:02,520 God says in Isaiah chapter 55 verse 11 Thus my word shall be 156 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,720 that proceeds from my mouth. It shall be, and it shall not 157 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,320 return to me empty handed, but surely it does the thing that I 158 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,880 please and accomplishes that for which I have centered. 159 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:20,000 Who can interfere with this instruction, this command, and 160 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,280 the Word of God? What about His works, Beloved? 161 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,800 Psalm 111, chapter 2. Great are the works of the Lord 162 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,280 God, and they are sought out by all who desire them. 163 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,120 They are great. No one can affect, no one can 164 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,360 interfere. No one can stop, no one can 165 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,400 derail. Beloved, what about His glory? 166 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,480 Praise be to His name, Amen. I didn't hear it. 167 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,640 Amen. Psalm chapter 8, verse one. 168 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,800 Our Lord God, our Lord, how gracious is your name in all the 169 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,480 earth, For you have set your glory above heaven. 170 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,160 You have done it. Not man, not the Saints, not the 171 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,760 prophets, not the church. You, O God, have set your glory 172 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,920 above heaven. God's sovereignty has been set. 173 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,800 It's been established. It cannot be affected. 174 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,760 It cannot be unestablished. As if there's such a word, 175 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:24,960 Steven, it's been set. And this Psalm that I read and 176 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,520 the prophecy within it was fulfilled in Jesus Christ our 177 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:35,680 Lord our God, through whom by whom only period we can proceed 178 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:41,040 to God, we can draw near to God. This Psalm and prophecy was 179 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,200 fulfilled in Jesus Christ from the mouth of the babes and 180 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,040 sucklings when he was entering Jerusalem, beloved. 181 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:55,960 And I always draw this, this analogy or this, this, you know, 182 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:02,760 imagination. I'm imagining a young son or a 183 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:09,320 daughter sucking on the mother's tit breast and letting go of the 184 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,760 breast and crying out hosanna, Hosanna. 185 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,480 Or maybe not so much being on the breast at that moment, but 186 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,400 there's still sucklings. They can't eat food, flesh, 187 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,360 they're still on milk, but yet they open their mouths and they 188 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,800 glorify Jesus Christ and call him hosanna. 189 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,560 That means save. This is the sovereignty of Jesus 190 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:39,080 Christ. Who on this earth can for one 191 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,160 milli micro picro, whatever you're going to call it, second, 192 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,560 alter that. What about God's will, beloved? 193 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,080 Second Peter chapter 3, verse nine. 194 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,600 God's will is not that any person would perish. 195 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,720 Those who mocked the mystical Supper, those who mock Jesus 196 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,880 Christ, those who mock Christianity and Christians, you 197 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,280 know this is for you. Those who are at this moment 198 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,440 chuckling at these words because Satan has so much got a hold of 199 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,200 your heart, your mind, and your sight and your ears. 200 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,880 I pray that in the name of Jesus Christ, by the prayers of His 201 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,120 Saints, that He will let go and you will be freed. 202 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:31,000 This is for you. God is not willing that any 203 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,280 person would perish, but that every person would come to 204 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,720 conversion. That is repentance. 205 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,280 This is our Lord. No need to defend. 206 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,520 Love him, obey him, respect him. Commit your life to him. 207 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,520 Now commit your life to Him. You know, once you hear this 208 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,200 episode and you switch off the whatever, wherever you're 209 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,800 hearing it on your phone, what have you. 210 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,520 Don't just oh, Robbie, that was a great you know, don't tell me 211 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,880 what a great episode. Whichever episode you enjoy, 212 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,120 thank you. God bless you. 213 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,000 I love you, I love you and I know you want to you want to 214 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,840 encourage me. I don't need encouragement. 215 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,760 I just need you to pray for me. I need your prayers, not your 216 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,880 encouragement. I want you to tell me what I 217 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,120 said wrong and why didn't, what didn't affect you, what didn't 218 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,560 make you stop for a second and change your mind. 219 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,640 When you finish, listen listening to any Christian 220 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,840 message. Examine it in your lives, 221 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,480 beloved. Examine it because one day if 222 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,880 you don't examine, the Lord will examine. 223 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,080 You know, we go to the doctors, to the physicians and we say we 224 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,240 have a problem with our back arm, whatever it is. 225 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,560 At times they ask us to be X-rayed, right. 226 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,280 And have you seen when the, the physician takes the X-ray in his 227 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,600 hand, he holds it to the light, says, oh, discs #3000, I don't 228 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,440 know whatever. You know, I can see that there's 229 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,960 a chip on the bone. Oh yeah, I can see a, a little 230 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,400 white spot there. Right. 231 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,560 And then they still get it wrong because then we need second 232 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,000 opinion. Third opinion, Isn't that right? 233 00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:07,960 You know, when, when we go to tell our family and our loved 234 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,880 ones and our friends, you know, I've been, God forbid, this is 235 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,800 what the ducks, oh, you know, get a second opinion. 236 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,400 Get a third opinion. There's no second and third 237 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,280 opinion with Jesus Christ. He doesn't need the X-rays, 238 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,359 beloved. He doesn't need X-rays. 239 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:28,280 No, He will judge righteously. He will judge us according to 240 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,440 our faith and our deeds, whether good or evil, not how much we've 241 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,000 defended Jesus Christ and His faith and His Scriptures. 242 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:45,520 You see, beloved, in place of getting frustrated and reactive 243 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:52,040 when Christ or Christianity is attacked, let us be proactive 244 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:58,560 and portray the holiness, loving, merciful, compassionate 245 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:07,680 and gracious nature of Christ. When Christ or Christianity are 246 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:13,680 attacked, let us intensify and strengthen our faith and love 247 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,560 for Christ by means of our virtues. 248 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:25,800 When Christ is attacked, let us love, praise, honour, confess 249 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,280 and worship Him even more throughout obedience. 250 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,400 When the Holy Scriptures are disrespected, mocked and 251 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,720 rejected, let us read them and increase our knowledge and 252 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:44,320 understanding and fulfilment of the precepts entailed in them. 253 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:52,600 When the Church is attacked and ridiculed and disreputed, let us 254 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:58,880 intensify our connection to it and work in it for the glory of 255 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,640 Her Bridegroom. When the divine sacraments of 256 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:07,880 the Holy Church are refuted, denied, blasphemed, and hated 257 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:13,600 from within or without, let us draw near to them regularly, in 258 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,560 fear and in love, and with the Angel. 259 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:22,960 Sing aloud, cry aloud, shout aloud, and say unto the Giver, 260 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:30,760 Holy, Holy, holy Lord God. When our most sanctified 261 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:36,520 Christian morals, ethics, and traditions are ridiculed, let us 262 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:41,400 devote our entire life to living them spotlessly. 263 00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:47,760 Beloved, when the world hates Christianity and us Christians, 264 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,080 let us keep in mind that it hated our Christ first according 265 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,480 to Christ Himself in John chapter 15 verse 18. 266 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Remember, we do not need to defend Christianity. 267 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:06,080 Her Christ has, is, and will continue according to His 268 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,360 promise until His second time or His return from heaven. 269 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,680 Praise, glory, honor, and Thanksgiving be to His holy name 270 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,880 now and at all times and forever. 271 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:47,260 Amen.
