 Hey man, Galatians chapter 6. So the last chapter in the book of Galatians, so I really like this chapter It really kind of wraps up the whole The whole situation that Paul is Discussing in the book of Galatians kind of tells us kind of gives us some more detail at the end of what actually was going on And for what reason but he then he throws in a lot of other different things and It's just a really good bow on on the on the book of Galatians. So let's go ahead and and take a look at it I mean there's a lot of different subjects here It probably could have been a a couple different sermons, but I didn't want to lose the whole Idea of the conclusion of Galatians. So Galatians chapter 6 There is some different things that Paul talks about some different advice and we'll we'll apply that as well But I really want to get up across the the point of the chapter and the point of the chapter summing up The book of Galatians and you know, there's some things there that he tells us on why this happened and why it was going on and What people were actually doing for what reasons that we can really apply and see happening to churches today You know, we can see the reasons and I'll get into that Towards the end of the sermon, but look down at verse number one The Bible says in Galatians chapter 6 and verse number one The Bible says brethren if a man be overtaken in a fault you which are spiritual Restore such in one of in the spirit of meekness considering thyself lest thou also be tempted now look that I mean That's I mean that's a that's a sermon right there. Okay, so first of all, what does he say? So first of all Paul's Paul's modus operandi. Okay, Paul if you've read, you know his other letters You know kind of the way he goes at things is he comes at people really harsh and then you know Like in second Corinthians chapter 10 he says but you know when I come to you I speak mildly, you know So he comes at people really hard and letters and then in many times in other letters You know, he's kind of like well, I was hard on you at first But you know now that they've gotten right, you know in first first Corinthians second Corinthians We see some of that but again he's sitting here and he's saying look, you know And I believe that he may be talking about here about the people who got caught up in this folly of this false doctrine He's saying if a man be overtaken in a fault you which are spiritual restore such in one in the spirit of meekness So there's a lot there where he basically says, you know, if you're spiritual if you're a spiritual person, you know You're gonna you're gonna give people a chance to get right is what he's saying Okay, and he's like saying look in general. He's like, you know, give people an out or maybe an in is a better As a better word, you know, but if you want it I mean in general in your life if you want to make peace you need to allow an opportunity for people to get right is What Paul is saying look and it's and he says here in verse number one. It's the spiritual people That are meek that will do this. Okay, so it's the spiritual people that are meek that will do this It's not, you know That will give people a chance to come back a chance to what he calls restored Okay, we talked about, you know, how he said in in previous chapters and we really went off on that in In Galatians in previous weeks on how you know these people if you have somebody in the in the church That's changing the gospel perverting the gospel, you know, you're supposed to put them out put them away from you But here he's saying hey, you got to you know leave people an opportunity to be restored is What he's saying, you know, so look and and then he says look what he says here. He says considering thyself Considering thyself and this is really the focus of of Galatians chapter 6 right here And I hope I get this across so don't go off on too many rabbit trails and I get this across to you here He says considering thyself Meaning you should allow people you should be meek and you should allow people that have even done wrong a chance at restoration for your own sake Because what could happen? Well, he says that let's that also be tempted tempted for what well attempted to become the opposite of meek To become the opposite of spiritual. What is that a proud? Unspiritual person is what he's saying. So I mean consider, you know yourself You know somebody who's just ultra ultra judgmental on somebody that did something wrong and just leaves You know, no, I mean the Bible says blessed are the peacemakers Blessed are the peacemakers for they show they they should be called the children of God look in life leave a door open for people is What Paul is saying here look I mean if you just if you have I mean just in general just for life advice if you want just all out war with somebody fine You don't have to leave a door open But I mean the Bible is not saying that you should go to all out war with people even look even Even your own enemies turn to Proverbs chapter 25 even your own personal enemies Look at Proverbs chapter 25 even your own personal enemies Look at verse 21 of Proverbs chapter 25 the Bible says If thine enemy be hungry give him bread to eat and if he be thirsty give him water to drink For thou shall heat coals of fire on his head and the Lord shall reward thee so look even your own personal Enemies and look, let me let me just give you some personal advice. Let me tell you I'll tell you a personal story I'll tell you a personal story. Look in general personally in your life. Don't burn bridges Don't burn your bridges down. Let me give you an example. Just a secular example of this Okay, look there was a there was a boss that I had out of my first job out of college I was I was in the semiconductor design industry It was a really fast-paced industry where people hundreds of people would get laid off from different Networks were very important Networks were super important in case you know your your department got cut You needed to know people so you could go work at a different company or whatever That's how people got jobs through networks not through you know online whatever. Okay, but I had this boss and This boss was probably 30 at the time he seemed old But I you know I was 21 at the time or whatever and my boss I had it was a really competitive environment too So people were always leaving and going to other companies and one of my friends that I worked with he left and went to another company Well, my boss didn't like that my friend left so my boss called me into his office and he said tell me where John went and John didn't tell them where he went because he didn't want to cause trouble and he just decided to keep it confidential And where he went to work, and I said I'm not telling you and my boss at the time said tell me or you're fired And I said I'm not telling you fire me So, you know it turned into this thing and I was he kind of haha laughed it off Like it wasn't you know as soon as he knew that he wasn't going to be able to scare me into telling me He laughed it off, but I went to that company like two weeks later I just left because I was upset over the situation. I was upset that he put me in that situation I left and look I told him why I left I Told him why I left I told him that he was wrong, and I wasn't quiet about it to anybody else either I Strap dynamite to the piers of those bridges, and I blew that thing sky-high And look I mean this guy was in the wrong clearly This manager was in the wrong with what he did But I blew up that bridge from embankment to embankment and Years went by because guess what that guy and I knew Mutual people across companies industries Years went by and I saw that guy and we saw each other at conferences and different things and There was just this tension all the time and Five six years after this happened and look that I know that there were situations where people that I knew didn't get jobs and Because of this this tension between myself and this guy. He's like it's his fault. Yeah, it was his fault But I blew up that bridge All right, and this guy came up to me like five or six years after this at a conference We were at and he just he came up to me and he said and he said you know He's like you know, I was a young manager and I was wrong He's like I was wrong and I'm sorry I did that and at that moment there was like this there was restoration You look we're not best friends We never were best friends but that restoration happened like five or six years later But there's tension for five or six years for no reason I Could have just I could have left quietly He would have known why I left he him and I alone the restoration would have happened a lot faster Look blown up the bridge did nothing but damage people that we knew It did nothing but damage People that he knew that I knew and people that I knew that he knew I Mean it's look it's just never a good thing and I'm not talking about like you know I'm talking about your personal enemies as Proverbs 25 would say and the reason that Paul says it in Galatians chapter 6 in verse number 1 that it's a spiritual person with meekness that recognizes this because look if I take all my personal enemies and I make them God's enemies. That's a pretty arrogant thing to do I'm making myself, you know at the level of God at that point So that's why you know it takes a meek person to leave a door open For people and Paul says you don't leave it. I mean look was this a small thing that was going on in Galatians This was a big deal I mean Paul was ripping some ripping some face in previous chapters here You know, but he says look leave leave a door open let people have a chance to be restored And what we'll talk about in coming verses on what actually people why they did it? Why do these people do it? Were they you know devil worshipers or whatever? I mean, why did they do it? But anyway, that's just the first point That's just that verse 1 20 minutes in but look the thing is just leave a door open for people Restoration should always be there if you're gonna blow up bridges guys You're gonna you're gonna work at different places. You're gonna go throughout your life If you're gonna if you burn bridges in your life, you're gonna be standing on an island by yourself Is what it boils down to So don't burn bridges. I mean that guy was wrong the guy was wrong in what he did But you know, I could have I could have I could have been the peacemaker there You know, I could have been the peacemaker. He made a mistake. He got in the flesh He thought he could I mean just think it was just a dumb thing He was trying to be the hero to find out where the guy went thought he'd throw some weight around or whatever I mean, whatever it wasn't it didn't make him an evil person. So Don't burn bridges in your life verse number two Bear you one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ and not Paul starts giving some some interpersonal some more interpersonal Advice between Christians is really what he's focusing on look at verse three for if a man Think himself to be something when he is nothing he deceiveth himself But let every man prove his own work and then he shall have rejoicing in himself alone and not in another not brawl a bracket around verse two verse three and verse four because Those three things always go together for whatever reason Those three things and if you say well, I don't I don't understand what you mean Let's look at the opposites of verse two verse three and verse four So Paul is talking about certain things that we should be doing but what do you think of the opposite? Let's think of someone who is the opposite of verse two verse three and verse four and for some reason these three things always go together Verse two, let's think of the opposite The opposite is of this is someone who in verse two. They won't do anything for anyone but themselves verse three they think they're great and Verse four they're super critical of others Those three things always come in the same package for whatever reason in verse four. They're super critical of others But they never focus on themselves And it's funny how all these things go together look at verse number five Paul continues For every man shall bear his own burden Because look what verse number six let him that is is taught in the word communicate unto him that teach it in all Good things be not deceived God is not mocked for whoso whatsoever a man saw it That shall he always reap so when he says use your bear his own burden. He's basically saying look you're gonna reap your own He's gonna you're gonna reap look you don't have to worry about others look you have to worry I mean this this is a benefit to you all right here. You have to worry about others a lot less than you think because they're gonna reap what they so and So are you is what Paul is saying? You know Jose 8-7 very famous verse in the Bible, you know for they have sown to the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind So Paul is saying look Don't worry about other people because they're gonna reap what they so and so are you you should be worrying about yourself because of that fact Look at turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 3 As a matter of fact you say how am I gonna you know reap what I so because you're gonna be rewarded That's one way One way is you're gonna be rewarded for your work. That's how that's one good way that you could reap What you so you could be rewarded for your good work 1st Corinthians chapter 3 look at verse 13 1st Corinthians chapter 3 in verse 13 The Bible says every man's work shall be made manifest for the day shall declare it because it shall be revealed by fire And the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is If any man's work abide which he had built there upon he shall receive a reward and if any man's work shall be burned He shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved yet So as by fire so the Bible here is saying that you you know you and your life as a saved person in Eternity you are going to either you know get great reward. You're gonna rejoice in your reward of The things that you did that are you know that are Manifesting eternity of the souls that you won of the the children that you raised that you know the life that you led that That had spiritual value to others around you that is gonna be great reward to you But all the things that you did that don't matter you're gonna suffer loss for that You're gonna know that those things were worthless that you spent your time on things that you shouldn't have been spending your time on that's what the Bible is saying here is You know you'll suffer loss so in eternity even though we're saved. We can will be rewarded In eternity. I don't think about this a lot personally Because I mean I'm just happy to be saved. I'm happy. I'm not going to hell You know, I'm just gonna do what I can here on this earth, you know just cuz I don't have to go to hell That's good enough for me personally But we will be rewarded the Bible says for the good works that we do but if we don't do anything with our lives Which is a lot of Christians by the way If we don't do anything well, we'll suffer that loss those people will feel that loss in heaven look at verse number nine of Galatians chapter 6 Then Paul says and let us not be weary in well-doing like you know Don't don't get tired in in the work that you're doing for in due season We shall reap if we faint not if you keep going it's like you'll be rewarded as We have therefore opportunity. Let us do good unto all men Especially unto them who are of the household of faith turn to Proverbs chapter 3 So he's saying here. He's like just don't you know, he's like don't get tired keep going You're gonna get weary, but just keep going don't faint. Don't stop He's like especially I'm focusing especially on You with your brothers and sisters in Christ Proverbs chapter 3 look at verse 28 The Bible says say not unto thy neighbor go and come again and tomorrow I will give When thou hast it by thee devise not evil against thy neighbor seeing he dwelleth securely by thee So he's ain't look just do good to those around you, especially Your saved brothers and sisters in Christ even when you get tired look at verse number 11 Verse number 11 now if this is the best part He's gonna now explain to us how he ties this in to you say what does this have to do with Galatians? He's been tearing into people for preaching false doctrine and he comes out and he says hey You know leave leave room for restoration for people. I get that but then he goes into this hey do good Just worry about yourself all these things now he ties it together right here You see how large a letter I've written unto you with my own hand And as many as desire to make a fair show on the flesh they constrain you to be Circumcised only less they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ There's the first reason right there that these people did this In Galatians there's the first cause of the book of Galatians right there in Galatians 6 12 number You know just just quite cause number one right there these people they just don't want to be persecuted They don't want to be persecuted. They don't want to be part of a church You know they just wanted to take the Gentiles and just make them Jews They just wanted to just make them like everybody else, you know, they don't want to suffer persecution and look at verse number 13 Here's the second one and this kind of ties up what he's been talking about when he says worry about yourself Because you're gonna reap what you sow. They're gonna reap what they sow. Why are you worried about other people? Because of this this is why he's saying this verse 13 neither they themselves who are for neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law But desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh They're doing exact. He says they're doing exactly what I just preached against their glorying in other people So they were they you know, they should have been they should have been worrying about themselves Paul said because you know, they're sitting there and they've added this to salvation and they're not look They're not even keeping the law themselves. He says look at verse 14 But God forbid that I should glory Save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision available with anything nor uncircumcision But a new creature and as many as walk according to this rule peace beyond them and mercy upon the Israel of God From henceforth let no man trouble me for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus I mean right there. It's like hey if anybody could glory in the flesh It would be me If anybody could take you know glory in what's going on in the flesh It would be me brethren the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen So for what does he do? He comes out Paul comes out in chapter 6 and he says look He's like worry about yourselves these people were too worried about others Because they were actually wanting to glory in the fact that they were changing the Gentiles That they were changing, you know, maybe here's the thing. Here's the thing Here's how we can apply it to us today and what we see out there today with what people are doing to even baptize churches It came it came from a good place. I'm sure Maybe you get somebody saved Think about this. Maybe you get somebody saved. Maybe they come from such a backwards culture Like they bring dead raccoons to the potluck Right well, we grew up in Tennessee and this is what we eat at potlucks dead raccoons Roadkill they're bringing all this stuff in and they come from they look they just wanted to get them circumcised They just wanted them. It was a custom. It was something that the Jews were just it was part of their culture So they were trying to control the actions of the people here in their minds for the better This is how things creep in This is how things creep in like this because look there's an easy way look. There's an easy way and a hard way To get people to change Okay, now follow me here. This is exactly what's going on with Baptist churches today There's an easy way. See it'd be hard for me. It'd be hard for me to preach a sermon You know teaching it'd be hard for me to preach Sermon after sermon after sermon on what the Bible teaches about on just about every subject It would be hard for me to I mean, that's a lot of work I mean writing all these sermons and then you know studying out the Bible and then you know just preaching these sermons I mean you have to write the sermon you have to study the sermon you have to write the sermon They have to preach the sermon and then you know some people don't listen You know some people just don't change Some people you can just sit here and you can just preach at them all day long and they're not going to change They're going to keep bringing dead raccoons to the potluck They're going to keep dragging, you know, whatever they find out on the highway and thrown it on the table at the potluck And you preach and you preach and you preach and you know, but look here's another thing Here's another way. I could do it. I could say look if you don't do these things You're not saved You follow me You follow what these people are doing Look they wanted them to be circumcised they wanted them to stop being this other culture and start looking like them They started they wanted them to start joining their culture, so they wouldn't have to go through all this persecution So they just added it to salvation I mean if you don't turn from these things And I make my little pet list Are you even saved? It's a control play It's very simple And it's the easy way See it's hard look. It's hard to try to persuade you to follow the Bible Well, it's harder. It's easier just to threaten you with your salvation It's easier to threaten you with your salvation if you don't do Whatever my pet list is in this case it was circumcision. I mean look I mean in and then in this case And I'm sure all other cases that are like this. They got to glory in what they had done in In the other see look at we took these there, you know now they're bringing You know pot roast instead of roadkill to the pot walk They got them to change they were glorying in that but what they had really done was led others astray and perverted the gospel That's what they had really done And look I mean Paul says that they're going to reap what they've sown I Mean verses 12 and 13 really wraps up the entire book of Galatians right there I mean less they they didn't want to suffer persecution and They wanted to glory that they had changed these people those two things right there. That's why they did it That's why they that was the motive You say why would somebody just come in and just do that but that was the motive right there You know we we know why they you know there's the motive for the crime The Jews at that time were so critical of the Christians. They were persecuting the church You know later the Romans took over the persecution, but they didn't want to go through that So they were just going to change the Gentiles in whatever way that they could that's exactly what's going on with all this Repentance your sins adding works Lordship salvation pick one Anything that's grace plus works, you know, I mean it's the Catholic Church the entire Catholic Church is just a big control play That's it I mean, you know, it's a scam Give me your money And I'll do this you will get your kids in heaven. We'll get your grandparent's out of hell. I mean whatever You know, I mean, it's just a big control play but these people did it by changing the gospel and Paul calls them out for it So Paul finally gives some parting advice in Galatians chapter 6. He says worry about yourself Because what we so we will read look what we so folks We'll reap in this life and the next the good rewards, you know the good rewards in heaven and the bad You know punishment on earth and loss in heaven That's what we'll reap for the unsaved. They're gonna. They're gonna reap damnation Is what they're gonna read and then he says look he's like bury each other's burdens And especially your brothers and sisters in Christ turn that look it back at verse 10 I mean, it's good. It's good parting advice. There's a lot of problems here He really tore into these people and he's kind of like trying to he's given them the motive of it from that You know at the end there and then he's trying to kind of patch them up a little bit He's like restore these people if they get right Here's why they did it Restore them if they get right. He's like, hey, you know Burry each other's burdens do good to all men especially your brothers and sisters in Christ Especially unto them who are of the household of faith So what do we see here? We see restore worry about yourselves and do good to the brethren That's what we see here turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 8 I really want to focus for the conclusion here this evening on this idea that he I mean he's just like really pushing this self of burying each other's burdens and You know, especially to your brothers and sisters in Christ. We heard a sermon a couple weeks ago About this about investing in your brothers and sisters and all this but I want to give you a I want to give you another perspective on This I want to give you another perspective on this because we hear a lot about this We hear a lot about this when you get preached at about how you're supposed to love each other And you're supposed to do good to one another and if you get weary it says here you just keep going Keep going in this and that's all true. Let me give you another Biblical perspective on this look at 2nd Corinthians chapter 8 Look at 2nd Corinthians chapter 8 and since we've you know, you've heard a lot about this But 2nd Corinthians chapter 8 is something we can never forget look at 2nd Corinthians chapter 8 in verse number 10 Look at Paul says he says and herein I give my advice For this is expedient for you who have begun before not only to do But also to be forward a year ago now perform the doing of it That as there was a readiness to will so there may be a performance also out of that which you have He's like you're gonna actually do it, please For if there first be a willing mind it is accepted according to that man hath and not according to that He hath not for I mean not that other men be eased and ye be burdened You see that He's saying look. I'm not just saying that you should just be burdened and Other men should just have it easy He's like that's not what I'm saying and then look what you're like. What do you what in the world? What are you talking about? He's like, what do you mean? Am I not supposed to bear? Someone else's burdens doesn't that mean I'm gonna be burdened If I if I am just helping brother Trevor out and I'm just like I got to take time off of work And I got to go and I got to help him on his farm because he doesn't know how to fix anything. I'm just kidding Church mechanic. That's a little church mechanic joke there. Anyway, but just say you're helping one of your brothers out I mean obviously if you're burying his burden, he's eased and you're you're burned But Paul says it means I mean not that other men be eased and ye be burdened but by any quality That now at this time your abundance you see what it says right there It says at this time at this moment It says your abundance may be supply for their want So it says in that moment You are I'm burying brother Trevor's burdens at that moment. I'm burdened and he's eased it says but That their abundance may also be supply for your want that there may be what equality It's supposed to work both ways Is what the Bible is saying here as it's written he that gathered much have nothing over and he that had gathered little Had no lack. You see that's how it's supposed to work Right there What he's saying is you know, there's gonna be a time when you know Somebody needs to be eased and you should be there to be able to ease them and you can be burdened but then There should be a time when I need to be eased and Then I should be helped out and somebody else should be burdened And then it says in verse 15 and then it will work like this This is how it will look is in verse 15. It's so it'll the church the church that acts like this will look like verse 15 So you write next to verse 15. This is how the church should act should should function He that gathereth much have nothing over and he that gathereth little heth no lack So when I'm down somebody else picks me up and when you know, somebody's up they can they can help me out Look, we're not talking about communism here. This is voluntary Helping out your brothers and sisters in Christ But it's saying look it's when and it works like this. It's just this ebb and flow is how it goes That's second Corinthians 8 10. It's an ebb and flow. Look, here's what I know. Here's what I know You're gonna be up and down in your life I mean, you're gonna have ups and you're gonna have downs If you haven't had ups and downs in your life you haven't I mean you're like 12 You're gonna have ups and downs in your career. You're gonna have ups and downs in your just your life in general Your spiritual life is gonna have ups and downs and you're to year to bury each other's burdens and all these things Now here's that here's the pragmatic problem in a church Here's a pragmatic. It's a snowball effect. Okay, because people here preaching and Some people look some people here and they don't do that's just That's just what they do They hear and they don't do other people hear and do So when you hear all this this sermons on on helping out your brothers and sisters and bearing each other's burdens You get some people who are just like oh man. I need to start investing in people I need to start like setting goals and start helping people out. I've been blessed in my life I need to start doing this and you have other people and these people just grow and they just grow because they're doing what They're supposed to do You know, but then you have the other people that hear and they don't do and then all sudden second Corinthians chapter 8 It just that equality just diverges very quickly because they have some people that is rampant it up and some people doing nothing and You know, but and the other stand still we get verse 14 again But by inequality that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want that their abundance Also, maybe a supply for your want. It's both ways. You see look. This is this is really an American problem right here This is an American problem That's getting worse every single year because you know what you have this and you know what here's what I think I think it just has to do with how you're raised. I Think it has to do with how you're raised You know, some people You have to ask yourself some people are just really just really comfortable with just taking other people's abundance. That's it just all the time and They're never going to bear anybody else's burdens So you have to ask yourself is your abundance ever a supply for anyone else's want Whereas everybody else's abundance only a supply for your want no matter the time Because it says it says that this there's a time aspect to this now at this time it says There may be a moment You know, I personally don't like people helping me. I've needed help. I'm not saying I've never needed help I'm so strong. I've never been down. No, but when I've needed help it kind of makes me feel uncomfortable That's kind of how you should be It should kind of make you uncomfortable, but you know what you should really want to help other people I mean our people are people constantly doing things for you Are people constantly paying for things for you providing things for you? I mean people like this match the description of verse 3 in Galatians 6 For a man thinks it's himself to be something he is nothing he deceived with himself many times people like this They think well my mere presence Now I'm serious My mere presence is payment enough for everything that you have done for me But that that's that's exactly what verse 2 3 and 4 is talking about in Galatians chapter 6 I mean look you have buried each other's burdens, but it this thing should ebb and flow Let me give you an example. Let me give you an example and as an example. I just thought of There's no indication that there's any problem here And if there is a problem, it's a small one, but this is an example the guys are taking a lot of trips This is an example of something that reminded me of when I was younger the single guys are taking a lot of trips Somebody's driving on the trip. Are you often to pay for gas? We often to throw in money for gas Are you just like my mere presence? His payment it will run this car It's a small thing and maybe everyone does I have no idea if anyone does or doesn't But that's that's just a small thing look, I mean This kind of mentality is Is a disease in our country right now? That just everyone should just do things for me for nothing. It is a sickness That is wrecking our society and second Corinthians chapter 8 is preaching against it At least in the church anyway, it shouldn't happen here You should strive look you should strive for this equality look an equality is not a bad word in this sense You hear some politicians saying equality and you're like, ah, you know, this isn't going anywhere good But this is talking about equality in helping each other Equality and burying each other's burdens and I mean actually, you know if you think about it I mean imagine a church that actually operated this way. You're gonna be down. I'm gonna be down Imagine a church that actually operated this way. We're like really no one ever had anyone ever was had want for anything and Really no one, you know really had abundance for anything because you know, we're just kind of you know When you're down, I'm helping you out and when I'm down you're helping me out and this and that but look It's talking it look it's actually talking about worldly needs to by the way It's not you know, it's talking about worldly needs like a supply, you know Just just hunger, you know clothing food resources. Look you need to take an accounting in your lives On what people have provided you your wants and do they equal their wants that that's what I'm asking you to do tonight It's taking accounting. Is it equal? Is it even close? Because some people they're just gonna look some people and this is never gonna change because people and I'm thankful that this is never gonna change Some people are just gonna give and give and give and give And I'm thankful that that's never gonna change because that means that you're actually listening to what I'm saying That you're actually listening to the Bible and you know what it's in their blood They were raised that way They were raised that way and others and I'm sorry this comes from how you were raised that's been my experience in my life It comes from how you were raised others were just raised with people just doing everything for them in Their life That's why you know what don't do everything for your kids Don't just raise these kids who are just constantly just you know, you just do everything for them. You make every excuse for them You do everything for them you give them everything you're gonna raise one of these people They come into a church or come into you know relationships and just want everything done for them. There's no equality there Look and here's the thing you're like well, I was raised that way. You shouldn't care how you're raised You shouldn't care how you're raised. That's the answer Like I just you know, my parents just never taught me this or whatever. Whatever you're being taught now Just listen to what the Bible says like that's with everything. That's with everything I mean people come here and I get it they come and they sit down here and they hear something and they're just like I mean, they're just like what in the world and they feel like they got hit by a train. I get it But you have to get yourself to a point if you want to grow or go or move anywhere You just got to be like, you know what I know I was raised this way. I know I grew up wearing this stuff I know this was my culture. You just got to be like the Bible says this. I'm just gonna do it You know, that's just what you got to do And if you don't do that, you're not gonna go anywhere You're gonna stand still in your Christian life. I mean what a waste What a waste of time Just I mean just listen just listen to the Bible and change Or are you even saved you see what I did there goations. Let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer
