It has tragically just been revealed that the list is now
out. This is the 10 people who messed
around with God in 2024 and I know.
You've already guessed. Who #1 is?
OK. Firstly, the 10th person who
made our list today is Kevin Hart.
The comedian was just on the popular Kai Sanat stream when
Kai decided to give thanks to God for the meal in front of
them. This is what Kevin
disrespectfully did. Food they were about.
To eat to make sure our new streets are back.
Under normal circumstances, I would avoid talking about #9
because I personally believe kissing crosses for good luck is
idolatry. However, I will make an
exception because I personally also believe that the way that
this boxer was treated is very wrong.
This is Alexander Usyk, and he is the current heavyweight
champion of the world. Now, before every boxing match,
Usyk kisses a metal cross to demonstrate his Eastern Orthodox
Christian beliefs. But in December 2024, in his
match against Tyson Fury, Saudi Arabia didn't allow him to do
this. So if you are a boxing fan, I
know exactly what you're thinking.
You're saying it's because both boxers were only allowed to have
water touch their lips before the bouts.
And OK, yes, I hear you. But I can't help but wonder if
Saudi Arabia would have been a strict with other religions.
If you catch. My drift?
I can see why some of you would disagree that Saudi Arabia
should not be on this list, but no one will disagree with who I
have chosen as our number one biggest disrespector of
Christianity. In 2024 #8 was another
absolutely insane example of messing around with God.
But this time it actually happened in a church.
In April 2024, a mega church pastor called Mark Driscoll was
due to give his message at a Christian men's conference in
Missouri, but sadly he couldn't get the image out of his mind of
what he had seen take place the night before.
You remember how I said that this was a Christian conference?
Well, the organisers decided it would be a good idea to set a
pole on the stage and pay a man to do something in front of all
the attendees that I am too ashamed to talk about publicly
on the Internet. Anyway, listen carefully to how
the events organiser I tried to shut down Mark Driscoll as he
addressed what he had seen. Thank you I.
Talked to Mark for 1/2 hour. There was not one word of.
That one name I did not expect to make our list is Shaquille
O'Neal. For starters.
I had no idea that the former NBA star is now a DJ, and DJ
Shaq, as he's called, really showed some dark things in
August 2024 when he performed his 360 show in LA.
As you watch this, please know that I've blurred out some of
this to keep your precious eyes from seeing things that God
would not want you to see. Number six nearly went as viral
as numbers one and two on our list because it happened at one
of the world's biggest sporting events, the Super Bowl, with one
of the world's fastest growing stars.
I spice. Did you catch it?
Well, if you blink, you'll miss what she does next at the end of
this prayer. What do you think of #5 and the
recent drama that's been surrounding his name?
Billy Carson has been saying a lot of dumb things about Jesus
in the Bible for many years now. For instance, you better have
sufficient proof if you were going to claim that Jesus didn't
really die on the cross. If you say that Jesus had a
wife, or if you say you was a student of the Egyptian God
Thoth, you better back it up with some pretty big evidence.
And I can promise you this, if you want to start teaching that
God didn't really create the universe, but rather gods or
advanced beings deserve the credits, you again better hope
that you don't meet somebody who actually knows what they're
talking about. Well, thankfully, such a
meeting, or rather debate, went viral in December 2024, where
the Bible scholar Wes Hough schooled Billy Carson for two
hours straight. According to the Sinai Bible,
Jesus wasn't crucified in that Bible.
Do you? Mind if I ask a clarifying
question? Sure, when you say the Sinai
Bible, I'm what are you referring to specifically refer
to the Sinai Bible? Would you be referring to Codex
Sinaticus like the codex that comes?
OK, that's why I was trying to get some clarification, because
I actually have, I have a facsimile.
So I have a photocopy of Codex Sinoticus that I work with in my
office. I mean, I can go on right now,
Codex Sinoticus and I can look up Matthew 27 where it has Jesus
being crucified. And that's in Codex Sinoticus or
John 19 or any of the other ones.
So my confusion is that it, it doesn't read any differently.
Where was that piece? I found a.
Text where I was referencing. Actually, I was misquoted.
I, I misquoted there. It's the Gospel of Barnabas.
Please everyone, look at me because I'm really sad to
announce our next name has reached #4 especially after his
incredible profession of faith in 2019.
Kanye West not only isn't bearing fruit as a Christian
believer with the many things he's been doing recently, but he
is now openly disrespecting the living God, saying one of the
worst things a man or woman could ever say.
Are you in that space where you're comfortable enough to
say, this is where I am right now?
I'm still a man of God. Jesus still is king, but this is
vultures right now. This is where I am.
This is but I, you know, I, I have my issues with Jesus.
There's a lot of stuff I went through that I prayed and I
ain't see Jesus show up because, you know, because I'm God and
anyone who disagree, I'm the God of me.
And you can't tell me who I am. I can't tell y'all.
I could tell y'all. It's y'all job to listen.
I'm the God of me. Guys, the next three, in my
opinion, are the worst things people did in the whole of 2024
to laugh at Christianity before I reveal #1 which I think you
probably have already guessed #3 really does need to be mentioned
because it particularly saddens my heart.
England, my country, has fallen lower than you could imagine.
They just recently removed the word Christmas from Christmas
markets across the land and instead they want to call them
winter markets to appeal to all faiths.
And whilst trying to erase Christ from Christmas is bad
enough, the Church of England sunk even lower by funding a
scheme which will try to drop the word church and instead swap
it with a more acceptable name like communities.
I'm confident you are shaking your head now but listen to
this. They are also replacing Bible
studies for nature walks. This makes me so angry because
we all know that the church is not the building, it's the
people. So if you don't want to meet
together and study the Bible anymore, fine.
If you want to go on a nature walk instead, fine, that's fine.
But don't you dare lay hands on what God has called holy.
And don't you dare try and reinvent what Christ Jesus died
for the church, just so that you can try and appease.
A few woke. People who've already changed
every single corner of our society.
I actually made a video on this subject when it was first
released and I titled it something like they just removed
church and I expect God will and judgments.
So I do want to qualify my next statement now by saying this was
not a prophecy. I can't even predict what my
wife will do in the next minute, let alone what's going to happen
in the future. So when I said this, I wasn't
prophesying in any way. But there is something we do
know. We know that God will not be
patient forever. We know that God will not stand
by silently forever as his name is disregarded by the people.
And we also know that what a man sows that he will also reap.
So what happened three months later?
The Archbishop of Canterbury suddenly was made to resign
after the entire Church of England fell to pieces
overnight. Between You and me #2 could
easily have made number one in 2023's list and 2022's list, but
because it didn't quite reach the same scale as our number
one, that's why it's #2 today, little Narsex, desperate again
for attention, decided to be really original.
I hope you can hear the sarcasm in my voice.
What did you decide to do? He decided to laugh at Jesus
Christ again, not any other religion, but Jesus Christ,
because he knows two things. A, he knows that it's made him
really famous in the past when he made videos that disrespected
biblical teachings in the Bible, like what he did in Montero.
And B, he knows that we as Christians will turn the other
cheek and instead of doing anything, we'll just pray for
him. Which is, by the way, what I
encourage every single one of you to do right now, not just
for little Nas, but for all the people on this list today.
Let's pray for them that their eyes will be open to the truth
and they will feel a true. Conviction of sin.
For what they are doing against the living God.
So what did little Nas do? At the beginning of the year he
released a song called J Christ where he pretended to be Jesus
on the cross. He then dressed as Jesus and
whilst being dressed as Christ he then played a game of
basketball with the evil one. Later in the video he also
dressed up as Noah in an attempt to laugh at what Christians
believe in. Some would even argue that his
TikTok promotion was even worse where he created a skit of him
eating all of the communion bread and drinking all of the
wine dressed as Jesus at the Lord's supper.
So come on guys, over to you. Who do you think got the
shameful crown for the biggest disrespect of Christianity in
2024? You were right, the Paris
Olympics are our #1 During the Olympic Games opening ceremony
they decided in a very disrespectful way to recreate
the Last Supper. Which then and sent a ripple
throughout the entire world. The organizers later released an
apology video, which, if we're honest, wasn't any kind of
apology. And all of this just left more
and more people asking the same question.
Why is it always Christianity? May I go deeper?
They not only felt that they had freedom of expression to laugh
at Jesus Christ, but they decided to restrict Christian
athletes from their own freedom of expression.
For instance, a 16 year old skateboarder called Reyesa Leal
won bronze at the games and apparently during the award
ceremony, because she was told she couldn't verbally testify
about her savior, she decided to use sign language instead to say
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
But I hear you, you say, come on Joe, isn't that just hearsay?
Well, another example of Christians being restricted was
the Olympic surfer Gabriel Medina.
He was told that if he did not remove the artwork of Jesus
Christ off his surfboard, he would not be allowed to compete
in the games. The fact is this guy's Paris
made a huge mistake and they lost the viewership of thousands
of Christians with sports fans like myself deciding to boycott
the whole games. I didn't watch anything apart
from maybe a few days later I saw that silly Australian
dancer. Some believers, they even.
Speculated that the. Blackout that happened
throughout the entire city on the night of the opening
ceremony was linked, and it was actually a mark of God's
disapproval on Paris and the Games.
So how do we untangle all of this?
Well, I have a verse from the Bible that I think you should
write down. Psalm One verse one says,
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of
the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in
his law he meditates day and night.
Why do I share this verse with you?
Because I believe it's time for some of you to come out of the
world. Did you notice how it starts
with walking in the counsel of the ungodly?
You begin with just walking side by side with the world.
Yes, you're looking straight ahead.
Yes, you've got your eyes on God in one sense, but you're
listening with your ears to what the world has to offer.
You're walking on the path towards Jesus, but you're
entertained by a little ungodly music or you're watching a
little ungodliness on the screen that you know you shouldn't, but
you don't worry too much about it because you're still moving
in the right direction. OK, then watch what happens to
the next person. This man, he's standing in the
path of the sinners. So now you're stationary.
Now you've lost your direction. Now you're facing sin face to
face and you're locked in. It's got your attention and you
want to see what the world has to offer you.
So you stand on their path and you mix with their ideas and you
start to love what they love. Then the final picture we see is
a person who's sitting down in the seat of the scornful.
Now you've joined them, now you're part of their group, and
you're one of them who also joins in with all the laughter
against the name of the Lord. Do you see the sequence here?
It starts with just a little bit of walking.
It starts with just a little bit, and then you're standing
with them. And before you realize that,
you've settled down and you've become just just like the rest
of the world. You see, the truth is this.
We become what we allow into our lives.
The more comfortable we become with listening to these singers,
with following these celebrities and watching these organizers
disrespect the Bible, the sooner we drift away from the God that
we love and we start to become like the rest of the world.
So what am I asking you to do right now?
Or more importantly, what might the Holy Spirit Himself be
convicting you to do right this very second?
I think we're all called to be separate, to stop lingering in
the same sinful ways, to stop watching, stop listening to and
stop being involved in all these things that the Lord God hates.
It's time for you and I to repent.
It's time to turn our minds and our hearts away from these
things and to turn our eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ, the one
who experienced all kinds of scorn on the cross, the one
where all the people turned against Him, all the people
pointed at him and jeered and said him, if you are the Son of
God, bring yourself down from the cross.
And Jesus just took it. That was the time when Jesus was
really made a fool of on the cross, when there he died in our
place for our sin. So can I ask you, has the Lord
Jesus Christ not endured enough scorn already?
Has he not been laughed at enough?
That with all of the things he went through on the cross, with
all the crowds laughing at him, with all the years we've had of
many, many years, even recent years of people laughing at him,
Has he not had enough disrespect over the years that the world
wants to keep piling it on year by year?
So now I am saying to you, we, you, whoever you are, we should
respect him. We should honor him, We should
crown him the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, and we should
bow the knee to the one who went to the cross for you and me.
Can I ask you, is he your King? Is he your Savior?
Or are you like the rest of the crowds who just love laughing at
Jesus, who don't see it as any big deal when the Lord is
laughed at? They don't see His name as
special. So why is he so dear to us as
Christians then? Because on the cross, all of
your wrongdoing, the weight of your sin, the wrong things
you've done in all of your life, all of that was laid on Christ,
and there he died in your place so you can be forgiven.
Have you been forgiven? Have you asked the Son of God,
the Lord Jesus Christ, to wipe your slate clean, to give you a
new start? Here we are at the beginning of
2025, and some of you, you're desperate for a new start.
Or the Lord Jesus Christ can give you a fresh start.
All of your past can be washed away down in the river of
forgiveness. It can be gone forever.
And He can give you a new start, a clean life, forgiveness of
sins and salvation in His name alone.
If you really want it, it's yours.
If you call on His name, He'll give it to you like that.
Now let me put you under the test.
If the Paris Olympics are the group of people who disrespected
God the most in 2024, do you think you can remember who the
person was who caused the greatest disrespect to the name
of the Lord in 2023? If you think you've got the
right person, go and check out 2023's list to see if you are
indeed correct.
