 Good afternoon pastor David. Hey John welcome everybody to unfiltered a random moment with pastor David and Church family we know that on Tuesdays. We discuss some of the current topics that are that affect the church and then on Thursdays We like to ask you questions that draw up your studies for upcoming Sunday Today pastor this is and you spoke of this on on Sunday at the conclusion of your message which was an amazing message convicted me about Being a father and but you went on to share about this bill that was introduced a B 22 23 And you know an exodus chapter 1 we see that Pharaoh had ordered the midwives that were Assisting Hebrew mothers to have babies to kill all males Then we see later on in Matthew chapter 2 that Herod put an order out to kill all newborns Excuse me male children who were Bethlehem from from two years and older and under And so now we're faced with this bill that Assemblywoman Buffy wicks as promenade. I mean when we talk about just straight-out blatant evilness We have this led this proposed legend or which past that Pretty much that a baby can be Killed up to 28 days It's disgusting I have children you have children and grandchildren pastor we see this blatant Evilness in front of us. How do we respond to something like this? Well, we need to make our voices heard obviously when I was in Israel. We were in Israel We we're not aware of the current things that were taking place here in California when I got home We got home on a Tuesday and by the end of the week it had come to my attention what was taking place and all of that and you know That's when it began to consider some things and that's why the week after Easter I Wanted to include some comments related to AB 22 23 With an exhortation to believers our church and those who are watching online those who live in California especially to To a contact their assembly people and and let them know we need to make our voices heard Because this is as as is being presented by those who are more aware of How this kind of legislation is going to truly impact and the nuances of the wording and all They're saying that this includes A baby that could be born that could be 28 days after birth, you know So 28 days that the baby is born will say a week earlier two weeks early And then it goes into another couple of weeks. It could be 28 days after birth that the mother With impunity could in one way or another Encourage the the ending of that child's life and I was sharing on on Sunday That this is really almost like the times of early Jewish history the worship of the the God Mollach who would receive infant sacrifices, right and so the the Putting to death of newborn babies Is this heinous as it can be the innocence and Everything that pertains to a newborn The thought that somebody would legislate in this great state of California That that child For pretty much any reason could be put to death is something that Americans and Californians in particular Should rise up and and make our voices heard about so I contacted my particular assembly Assemblyman and registered My protest and a request to them to oppose This actually finding itself into California law and I would encourage anybody to just go in and discover your Assemblyman whoever it is and Just go to the page and and it'll give you some directives how to leave a comment Leave your comment. Let them know that you oppose it. We should do that Because this is this is a new level of evil. It already was evil abortion in and of itself When there was arguments for the the safety of the mother and this and that You know, there were those who would would argue that or they would say in in cases of rape or incest And they always use those those arguments even though the percentage of pregnancies that came in that manner were Somewhere around one or less than 1% of all abortions So it had actually became the noble cause to protect the violated woman and and God knows, you know That we should not ever have anything but sympathy for a woman who's been harmed yet at the same time two wrongs never have added up to a right and especially when when Roe v. Wade was decided and and made into law because of a lie that had been stated where the woman who became The test case for it and she later admitted that she had not been raped that she just desired an abortion and Tried to recant but by that time it was already law. She later had become a believer in Christ and Said this is wrong. Well once it got into the law There's you know from then on it's Been something that that people resist being overturned. So John I mean it started out with this this attitude that we're going to protect the life of a woman and That nature and now it's become we can kill a baby. I mean that is You just mentioned heinous that is straight disgusting. It's devilish what pastor what? In a quote-unquote what Pandora's box of evilness is being open to such a dark dark thing listen when you have Supreme Court Justices who cannot give you a definition of a woman There their imaginations are darkened because of sin that the sin when people don't realize that Sin is what it is it it permeates every essence of a human being and It and it distorts all of your ability to know what is right. It distorts it Without the the illumination of the Spirit of God without the conviction of the Holy Spirit without the direction of God's word You're gonna do what it's right in your own eyes. That's what they do We'll be looking tomorrow night in Ephesians chapter 4 Where Paul begins to speak about what the unsaved how they think and I'll be sharing about this From the word. That's what it is. It is say it is the bondage of Human being to sin. They are they are they are slaves of sin their entire way of thinking Without the the light of the gospel is this pure darkness. They walk in darkness. They crave the darkness They develop their moral fabric because of the dark It's all darkness and that's why we need the light of life from Christ and so yes When you get to the point John where you can argue that an infant a beautiful baby on a table Can be starved to death or even beaten to death or? Or put to death in whatever variety of ways may be used and you will justify and argue that That's evil. That's evil incarnate. I was watching a video while back of a A mother dog a mother dog That will protect her her puppies from anybody harming them even even a dog I've seen it with different animals, you know Sometimes people will post the loving protective instinct of a mother You know We're a cat a kitten is hit by another cat and that mother of that little kitten goes bonkers on the one that that Assaulted it. That's that's animal life But when you have human beings or able to argue that that baby should die because mama doesn't want it That's evil and I don't know anybody with a moral backbone who could ever support something like that They don't know God and America is going to be judged in a very harsh way if we don't wake up. I Mean that's sobering it is it ought to be this is where we've gotten This constant onslaught against truth and love and and Christ in his message of It's a constant hatred of God that is shown by the society we live in and Christians we are not to be belligerent and we're not to be Argumentative and wanting to fight constantly. I I don't think it's a I don't think it's a wise thing for me as a pastor to To incite my church body and to anger to hatred of the president and and all of those Evil things that very often presidents will bring into law But we need to hate the darkness. We need to be aware. We're in a spiritual war We need to pray for those who were in authority over us, but we also need to let our voices be known So we're to we can contact our assemblyman. I was on before we came into our meeting here I was able to go on and I just googled assemblymen in and my area and it comes up and you're able to yes It walks you through it and it's very easy. What's it take two minutes two minutes two minutes? And so encourage a church family. We need to do that because as you mentioned on Sunday This is the time that we need to speak up for those who can't they can't speak. We need to speak Sobering pastor, I mean it's just disgusting how blatant and how We're getting a taste of what evil truly is evil and so again church family. I Believe we have a duty to stand and it's time. We're not inciting riots and you know Let your voice be heard just let our voices be heard and and be salt and light into this right dark world I mean, I'm thinking what's next our five six seven eight nine-year-old, you know It's why not at what point do you stop? It's disgusting So pastor want to get your feedback on that it is very sobering and dark But we keep our eyes on Jesus and we stand. That's right. We stand and so pastor, thank you for Sharing with us church family. Hope you enjoyed this and again What a great privilege it is for us to stand up during this time in unity in Christ And what I invite you guys to our services tomorrow evening at 7 p.m It's Ephesians chapter 4 as you mentioned Yep, and it's going to tie in a little bit to what you're sharing it'll tie in completely with this And so invite your friends and family to come on out and Friday.
