 Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to Unfiltered. Pastor David, welcome as always. Well, thank you, John. Not tomorrow. Saturday is our men's conference. And, you know, last night's message when you're teaching in Romans, Romans chapter six, you were sharing a primarily portion of your study about we're no longer who we were. And you shared a personal testimony of some of the things that you experienced. And I was thinking, how many people in the chapel last night were able to say, you know what, Lord, thank you for no longer allowing me to be who I was. And then we're new people in Christ. So now we have our men's conference coming up on Saturday. And our theme is fighting faith taken from Nehemiah chapter four, where this is going to be geared for us men and the men that we're watching and their families, that we have a responsibility to not only fight for our homes, but to fight in Christ and who we are being equipped as men of God. And no longer to be tossed to and fro as we used to be as these people, as you mentioned last night, guys that can return to our vomit. And I wanted you to share a little bit about the direction you're going to go on Saturday to encourage the men and to let men know you can still come on Saturday morning to the conference because you're sharing a little bit about it with me and I'm thinking this is a timely message, not only in the cultural context, but as men of God. Can you share a little bit about the direction you're going to be going on Saturday? I'll be sharing out of a portion of scripture where King David is saying his final goodbye to his son and seeing that we have three teachers this upcoming Saturday, plus we have a testimony from one of the brothers in our fellowship that I look forward to hearing. I'm going to concentrate comments to the fathers primarily. That's what I'm going to be spending my time looking at because I believe that we're living in time where the devil is after our children. We've known that all along, John. That's not a new thought to me. I mean, I've taught these things for many years. I've seen these things for many years. They're not coming after my mind right now, the educational system and things like that. I'm too old for them. I'm not a price to them. I'll be gone long, not that long from now. I'm not the price. The five-year-olds, the three-year-olds, six-year-olds, they're the ones they want. This has been what the enemy's been doing all along through the educational system here in the United States, which is not to say there aren't good Christian teachers. Thank God for the good Christian teachers who love and care for the children. I'm speaking about a majority that are not good Christian teachers and the curricula that they're using and the direction they're taking them in. I'll be speaking a little bit about that. I'll be speaking about how that the three major building blocks of civilization in Scripture is the church and is government and is marriage. I'll be speaking about how those three have been diminished by the world and attacks have been coming upon us through even the church itself with false teachers and bad doctrine and government passing laws that allow men to go into women's locker rooms and things of that nature to compete and various things. I'll point out a few things like that and then I'm going to speak about the responsibility that we as men have and the legacies that we leave with an encouragement to the men to tell if they're a father to love their children and to bring them up in the ways of the Lord, to nourish them and to protect them and to be that one who is a builder and a battler. That's where I'll be going with it. As you're saying this, I'm thinking about the men right now who are possibly in a situation where they're broken, relationship-wise, addicted, a lot of different things. I remember Pastor 17 years ago, that was me, coming off a suicide attempt and coming to the men's conference broken, lost, and it was there through the teachings and through the ministry here and the power of the Holy Spirit that I am where I am today because of God's grace and mercy. I'm looking forward for these guys to come out who may be going through something very similar or maybe haven't really given their life to Christ to hear the message that you're going to be giving, the message that Ken Graves is going to be giving, the message that Anthony Muñoz will be giving and even the testimony from our brother that's going to be coming and all of that together to be able to offer hope to the men that will be coming out because it's going to be in this time where we're like in a do or die. The evil is so dark now that we have to stand up now as men and so I believe that your message is going to be very timely. We were just speaking off camera, a little bit of the style that's going to come forth. It'll be different. I'm going to speak directly to the fellas as a man. When I have women watching and sometimes women who shouldn't really be doing this, they're watching us online. This is a men's conference. I don't sit down and listen to women's conferences so it doesn't apply to women. This is a specific message to the men, but yeah, I'll be speaking more forthrightly than normal, more directly than normal, but I think it's necessary at this time. And it's not in a mean-spirited way or anything like that. I think it's just important for us to realize that the devil has taken off his mask and the church is still asleep. They haven't awakened. They're caught up with so many things. Pastors who care more about filling their pews, wanting to be popular influencers. I'm telling you, John, we're living in ridiculous times. We're just talking about this. I want to keep this brief, but people say, now the Jesus movement, look at all these people are getting baptized or this or that. And I was just telling you, I don't know why we're trying to recreate something God did. You don't have to say, that's what it was like when you weren't there. This was something that older people like myself would be able to say is an actual, that is like it. But just because you have a lot of people getting baptized, and I bless the Lord that people are, forgive me if it sounds like I'm not happy to know that people get baptized, but let's not label it something that it's not just because there's a lot of people, especially somebody who has no idea, maybe they read a book or watched a movie. It's the Jesus. Why do we do this? I don't think God wants to duplicate necessarily. I believe that God wants to do a new and fresh work. And so this generation needs to wake up. And we are submerging right now. We are with so much garbage, so much evil. I mean, the evil in our government is so transparent except for people whose minds and eyes are blinded to it, right? And so evil is present men competing as women and going into women's locker rooms and just a nonsense that the evil that we're seeing. And then people are arguing in favor of these things and saying it's okay. I mean, who in their right mind would think that a man with a beard letting his hair grow along and putting on eye makeup that makes him a woman? Who would have ever thought that we would have a supreme court justice who would refuse to tell us what a woman is? Who in the world would have thought that that was possible? Or a man who lets his hair grow along and takes one of the highest federal offices that he could be appointed to while he's calling himself a woman? Who would and then to have that trumpeted as a step in the right direction? China and while Russia, North Korea are training their men to be fighters, our armed forces are training men to think they're women. We're allowing it. And so anyway, I'll be quiet. But that's kind of where we're gonna go on Saturday. So, Min, come on out. There's tickets still available for the conference access only. And for those who purchased your ticket for Saturday, it starts at 8 a.m. If not, come join us at 9 a.m. for worship. And then you'll be kicking off our conference with your message. I'll be trying to and then running out after I'm through. So, Min, I encourage you to still come. Invite your friends and family. We look forward to having you. And then on Sunday, we have a guest speaker, Ken Grace from Calvary Chapel, Bingor, Maine. So, for your ladies who could come to the Min's conference, come on Sunday. And I want to give a message to the Min. Just because we come on Saturday doesn't mean that that counts for your Sunday. Bring your friend, bring your family in and come hear the message that God has put on Ken's heart. And come out and join us for the Min's conference. So, we look forward to seeing you Saturday, 8 a.m. with a breakfast ticket, 9 a.m. without for worship, Sunday, 8 30 and 10 45. We look forward to you joining us. Pastor, thank you so much for sharing with us. Thank you guys for tuning in and God bless you. Amen.
