 Welcome everybody to unfiltered pastor David. Welcome. Thank you John and thank you for joining us every every Tuesday and Thursday That's why I was thinking about it. If you weren't here, we wouldn't have unfiltered Today pastor, I wanted to get your feedback on a couple of different things primarily one thing that happened this last just very recently and and How the church is to respond to something like this? As we know well if you'd haven't known There was the the Dodger Stadium had or the Dodgers had rejected Having Pride night which included the LBGTQ and all the the rest and then rescinded on that and in the midst of that time there was a I don't know how old or how new the sisters of indulgence And I don't know if I'm even Referencing them correctly. I think it's the sisters of perpetual perpetual indulgence. Yes, and in in there In their protest of not be invited to Dodger Stadium They openly demonstrated straight mockery of our Lord and Savior and they have Jesus on a cross and somebody Dancing inappropriately on that cross And here we are as Christians we're seeing these things and it's so blatant in our faces How does the church respond to stuff like this? You know, I think that there are times that we need to voice our opinions obviously we need to make our our feelings concerning those things known I find it very interesting that It is Christ that they mock now these individuals are in need of Jesus Christ They they need the Lord they need forgiveness of sin even though they don't acknowledge they have it but to be honest with you I consider them to be modern-day it met modern-day people of Sodom and Gomorrah. That's what they are they have no conscience their conscience is seared their slaves to sin and They have no no problem at all mocking us, but it's been this way for a long time This this is something I hope I can say this quickly because it's something I consider Years ago years ago when the women's liberation movement came in and began to say We don't need men. We are equal to men. We don't we don't we don't really need them at all Even to this day, they're saying things like we really don't need them other than perhaps for the sperm so that we can have children so there is there is such a Lack of regard for men first and So what happens is is the women begin to cry out We're equal to men in this and that way and then it becomes we need equity and before you know it What we end up with is the mockery of men the rejection of men the rejection of male leadership authority or anything like that and you end up with broken homes and broken families and just a failure to be able to to Live with a with a love and concern for another human being a male And and you end up with all of these broken people and I would say it in church I said, you know this these are the kinds of things that are going to lead us to a disruption of the moral Morality of society so it begins with the breaking up of the home and and the traditional roles of men and women it flows into The way people raise their children and now the absence of Fathers and so many homes and so many communities 80% plus Of the children being born are being born to unwed moms so you have women if they are Raising their children Trying to play the role of both a man and a woman and then there's the absence of the mother if she's working and there's so Many sociological things going on right now That you end up with with boys who don't know what a boy is and girls who don't know what a girl is and and I see all of these Things working together for one thing and that's a rejection of biblical morals and and biblical authority and and the traditional roles of men and women and it all seems to blend together into a rejection and especially a rejection of The Christian faith that has fed all of these different roles and and things in our society for the centuries that we as Americans have existed and so Christianity has taken the the brunt of the of the hatred and Rejection I find it interesting John that these women these men who pretend to be women these sisters of perpetual indulgence Are not saying anything about Muhammad. Now, are they you know, why wouldn't they because because they wouldn't survive you know that they they there would be an uproar and There would be a Rejection that would be very physical and they know that so we're the safe ones to pick on because We've been taught to turn the other cheek and and we've been taught to love our enemies and and so our approach to those things Is different and we also know that the wrath of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God we understand that That it's a spiritual war and the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but are mighty in God and because of that the church has kind of failed we as a body To to be able to show our disapproval of this in a way that is even noticed because we don't Riot and we don't Commit acts of violence and though there there are those who say that we do it's funny how that when the Roe v. Wade Was overturned. It's funny how how news of that actually leaked out prior to its being announced and You know and then people were people were reacting to it You know with violence, you know and and that was acceptable, right and so What we have today is just unequal treatment under law And so Christians have a tendency of just being quiet about it and saying, you know, I Don't know what to do about this Lord because everything is arrayed against us You know the press isn't calling us or calling churches and saying what do you think about this? Because the press by and large seems to agree with it when you have owners of the Dodgers who are willing to to on the one hand say this is wrong and therefore we won't do it and then Just a few voices cry out and say oh you look at you. You're a bigot and Then they they once again have it and then the angels of all people, you know saying well These people are wrong and we will host this you've given evil license and that's what's happened John and so what do we do? Well, I think we need to make our voices known. It isn't that the players on the Dodgers. That's their job You know, it's it's the people who run the show there who who for whatever cost I'm gonna have a high ranking on a tolerance meter. Look at us, you know And they want to normalize what is perverted Homosexuality and especially in the way it's being presented is a perversion the Bible refers to it in that way and People don't want to hear that word, but that's what it's called They're referred to as perverted persons in scripture Because God didn't create a man in a and another man to have Relationships all you need to do is put two men on the same island and when they die at the islands barren again You know, you put a man and a woman they have the potential to have children because it demonstrates their Very closely and clearly that that we have the ability to Procreate because that's how we were designed But it's it's all against it's against logic. It's against morality and All and I think that people should make their voices heard to the Dodger organization and the angel organization and I Don't believe in making threats and all of that that that does no good And it only gives people an opportunity to be hardened in their in their opinions concerning us But we most certainly need to make our voices known and if that means sending an email to the Dodgers organization and saying I want you to know How disappointed I am with you listen Mike my dad one of my earliest and best memories of my father and me is When the Dodgers moved here back at 59 and they used to play at the Coliseum My dad took me to a baseball game where I saw Gil Hodges and some of those are those those Dodgers of that era You know Larry Sherry Don Drysdale, you know, they're I grew up with the Dodgers. My dad's team was the Dodgers They became mine. So this is greatly disappointed Disappointing to me. It's you know, but again, you know, Clayton Kershaw once again Has made a statement. We need to get the Christian night back and all and you know, that's nice At least acknowledge that we're here but to take a perverted group of people and To think that I would want to be around them, you know, it's not that I I can't be I mean I'm around people who are perverse all the time, of course But you know, the idea that we celebrate that is something that we need to be the church needs to to Once again to reawaken to the fact that they're lost they need the Lord that they're miserable people I've known more than one homosexual in my life and They're very very miserable. They're they're hurt and lost and what they've been trying to do has become accepted In their perversion and it just doesn't work John and so what we need to do. I think is to make our Make our voices heard in one way or another and pastor with what these times are getting darker Is it gonna get darker? Of course it is, you know, it's you know, evil man show wax worse and worse Paul said and yes in The church is losing much of its Its savor and Jesus said when it does, you know, and it loses its saltiness It's no good other than to be thrown out and trodden by men So I do believe that we need to make our voices heard whether it means Writing you know doesn't hurt to write to the dodge organization and say I just want you to know that I'm I'm very disappointed in your organization for doing something like this And I want you to know as a Dodger fan for all these years You're taking a turn for the worse. I was looking at that the stomach the much little bit of the video I could watch it one day they're gonna be standing before Christ and That's another different topic, but I just wanted to just get your feedback on that and that we're just stand up and make a voice I think we need to be vocal about it. Yes. Well pastor. Thank you so much. Thank you guys for tuning in Do you want to remind you men this Saturday?
