 Good afternoon pastor. Hey John. Welcome everybody to unfiltered a random moment with pastor David And you know pastor our last interview the vaccine and 666. Yeah got a good response Do we and so we're gonna see how this goes today? Yeah today? I want to ask you about immorality in the church You know you mentioned on Wednesday night in your study as you were given an example of the The gate that's made out of pearl in the new Jerusalem is 14,000 1400 miles And and you know as we think of any pearl in size The work that it took the sand the irritation as you mentioned it's going to be a reminder of the of why we are in heaven But you mentioned something that there are an exclusive group of people that will be excluded And and it basically comes down to those who are immoral And you know in Corinthians Paul addresses immorality in the church has anything changed since pastor Oh, no, I I I believe that what we're living in right now is very similar times To what Paul was living in I mean not only does he speak to the Corinthians concerning their sexual immorality But the Ephesians he makes it very clear to them that They too are dealing with Sins of the flesh and he makes it very clear both to the Corinthians as well as the Ephesians and Galatians also that excuse me that That uh, there are going to be those who try to deceive you into thinking that these things are permissible And so Paul makes it clear. He says let no one deceive you because of these things the wrath of god comes upon men Let no one deceive you. You know, where are you getting deceived? You know, sometimes you get deceived just in life itself. I mean Look around you and look at the debauched Um Society we live in You know, we we we've had presidents Who people loved and voted back into office Who are having sexual deliances in the white house and nobody cared that shows you the kind of world we live in And we we have others who have held position of of high high esteem Where it's disclosed that they went to a particular island and they were having sexual relations with with With young girls and and you don't hear anything on the typical news broadcast Why because those things are acceptable today in the society that we live in and so that bleeds into the church And so we have people who are Are professing christians Who will go to a church and and never even hear a message That warns them of the repercussions for sexual sin And yet when you close the book of revelation the final book of testimony last time That jesus christ has given an invitation in revelation At the end of the age and everything that we're supposed to be aware of all these things He says that the those who are outside are the dogs and he calls He speaks of the sexually immoral and the the idolaters the the drug users. He speaks of all of them And he says these are not entering in And so yeah, we have that we have that awareness that in the church today with the um the trivializing of sexual behavior Where people will even in my fellowship over time i've had this happen more than once Where someone introduces me to whom they refer to as their fiance You never say that to me without me wondering. What do you mean by that and every time i've heard that they're living together So they try and justify it Or you have somebody who has been um going through divorce for even biblical reasons are going through divorce There was immorality involved And yet they're not divorced and they're out there dating and wanting to get engaged and have a new relationship When they having even closed the door on the last one And for them they wonder um What's wrong with it? Well, what's wrong with it is this if you can't marry them Why can't you marry them? Oh, i'm already married if you can't marry them What gives you the right to date them? And the thing that i think concerns and saddens even grieves me Is that the young woman or the young man or whatever? That they're dating doesn't see that as being wrong. They're Well, they're already, you know, not in love anymore and love is stopped and they make excuses But if you're not legally capable of marrying somebody You are not morally capable of dating them. Why don't they see that? So yes, that's in the church today And so this sunday we'll be talking a little bit about that That's not going to be the whole portion of my message But jesus says outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the sexually Sexually immoral immoral the idolaters murderers and he gives a list not a not an exhaustive one But a list to to give us the The sense of those who are excluded from the kingdom of god pastor would you say that uh pro that that Immorality that has even crept in more. It's always been in the church Has it given us casual attitude in living a holy life? Well, I don't think that people see holy life for what it is I think that sometimes people as a matter of fact, I know That sometimes people think a holy life is a boring life You know And if if if you think that being separate from sin and living in a way that pleases god That enables god or it opens the door for god's blessings and your life if you think that's boring heaven's not for you heaven's not for you You know because that's what heaven is It's only those who are holy who've been made only by by god himself Only the holy the pure are entering into the kingdom of god and so there's the The reality of what holiness is In terms of being set apart for the things that the lord in living a godly life and all the things that relate to that But that's a life that you're already living now as a christian or you should be Because peter said it that way. He said he is holy and even as he is holy you also be holy. So it's it's speaking concerning a A morality that is spiritually empowered That demonstrates that you are set apart And that you're pursuing the things that are pleasing to god and so There's a casual indifference today where somebody will come to church and uh After church to go out and have a barbecue and And they're drinking their beer and they're carrying on as if they didn't even go to church I have a friend of mine in this in our fellowship a mutual friend who told me he can't go out with his friends from Another fellowship who profess to love jesus and all of that But he says i can't he says i was a drunk and i go to their house and before you know what they're offered me A beer with my steak. He says i can't do that. He says i don't want to go back to that old world Oh, they'll say this is all grace. It's all grace god's grace wasn't given to me To practice the things that jesus died on the cross has set me free from And i don't think the church understands that john A good amount don't understand that Sobering donors to see that happening around it is Well pastor, thank you so much for this time and and again.
