 When you mess up, that's how you clean it up for anybody that would want to condemn him for that How do you condemn him for it if afterwards he comes back and apologize? What do you want to do? I? Saw this on yesterday and then asked about this today What do I think about what happened at this young brothers church now? I'm not sure how old he is Pretty sure he's a good ways younger than me about 10 20 years younger. I'm not sure Seems to be pretty excited about the Lord again I don't know a lot about his doctrine hadn't seen enough about him, but it just so happened that I was watching something on yesterday And this was I can remember that this was before I was getting ready for church or after I came back I think it was before I went to church and He was giving an apology. So I didn't even see the sermon But he was giving an apology about something he said the previous week a word that he used like what word did he use? That's the first thing people want. What did what did you say? Because there was apparently no big real big hubbub about it the previous week or none that I had seen or heard of then again I don't have my ear to the ground and so I just saw them thinking what in the world was it? What was so bad? But the good thing was he apologized whatever it was he seemed to be Broken over now me. I don't put a whole lot of credence into one person's emotional response because sometimes are genuine Sometimes or not, but I still want to know what was the big deal that he said and was there really a problem? Are you pleading for your unsafe loved ones for their eyes to be open? Are you pleading for their ears to be just listen to the garbage you pray? So this was a sermon entitled weeds and fire I believe the same of it and he was just talking about the condition of the world But really about people who are supposed to be the week and how they respond the things that were worried about Are we really worried about the things of God and it was kind of you know kind of a step in your toes sort of a sermon check yourself Kind of it was impassioned and then he says and says some things in a way that maybe he ought not upset it What about your money? What are you supporting? You put all this money into your hair and into your house and into your bills And you won't put a dollar into the Lord's work during the hour of redemption What about your activity? You won't help move gospel ministry forward. You just you just want to be take you like why are you content to just be a spectator? during the hour of redemption What this I'm out of time I'm so frustrated Is it helping you to understand what biblical Christianity is all about just listen Just just listen to the preaching in our nation. Is it preparing you for the harvest that's coming? Is it awakening your soul to us man? Like when's the last time you shed a tear for someone who was far away from God? See you don't feel that grief because you don't give a darn You don't give a damn about what God is doing right now. All you want is what you want And so that was it right there. He said you don't give a darn and then he said that He uses he uses the word d.a.m. And he didn't use it necessarily in a way that you probably ought to but you hear So was he wrong for that? Well That could be offensive to someone and so you want to you want to be careful how you speak before the people as a matter of fact Paul says this is let your speech always be with grace as though season was solved so that you will know How you should respond to each person so it matters what we say, but it also matters how we say it now That probably wouldn't have been so bad, but then he kind of now not kind of he says it again You are a useless wheat I Planted with no purpose because you won't engage in what Jesus is doing. Ain't nobody else coming behind you He planted you He planted me if we don't do the work in the field who's gonna do that work If we're not praying who's gonna pray If we're not advancing the gospel who's gonna do that If we're not supporting gospel ministry, who's gonna do that if you don't give a damn who is Now what he was saying was was really spot-on the passion and so forth But it's that if you don't give a damn Well, wait a second. Hold on. Wait a second. You have to be careful with what you say You have to be responsible with what you say now Paul puts it this way He says whatever you do whether you eat or whether you drink do it all to the glory of God These are these are seemingly Menial things we don't even think about but he says give no offense Either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God Just as I also please all men in all things Not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many so that they may be saved So what comes out of your mouth actually matters now in his apology? He just said that was kind of something that's in his heart It's still in his heart that he has to he has to work on which is fine And the matter of fact is I think his apology was was wonderful They've since taken it down. And so I don't know if there's anywhere where you can see the apology I didn't think anything about it until I just heard some more stuff about it today But he apologized for which was fine He talked to the people he seemed to be broken by it bothered by it There was some pushback because I can tell you for a fact that what you say even if it's something that is Small seemingly harmless Someone's gonna give you a pushback if I say if I call the young lady Sweetheart and I mean nothing by it someone's gonna say you shouldn't say that you shouldn't say this you shouldn't say that So certainly when he says that and he should be wise enough to know I'm certain I'm sure he is now that you can't say certain words use certain words in certain context before certainly because Everybody doesn't have the same heart or the same understanding of the same feeling some folks feel a certain way And you've got to remember you just can't use words that just can conjure up some sort of Profanity or nothing what he said was profanity like that I think what he said was bottom, but it's just a choice of words and you have to be careful about that So I think a lot of this probably is overblown more and more folks are talking about it I don't I don't think that it's that big deal, but it does give a an opportunity To learn something that is you don't just say what you want to say cuz you want to say it It's not your style. That's important. It's not your tone. That's important. It's not your Preferences that are important what it is is the people and if your preference your style your tone is more important Than the people that are hearing it well then you need to stop speaking because what comes out of the mouth Comes from the heart and if there's something there and you don't care. I can understand if it come out and Well, this is who I am Then we have a problem, but at least with him it came out and he didn't just give an And excuse well, this is who I am take it or leave it. This is how we talk. No, he apologized Which is what you should do again. He's not perfect. He's not pretending to be perfect He's not saying well, listen, I said it the way I wanted to say it I wonder I wanted for cause and effect. No, he apologized because some folks were offended by it That just shows maturity It might have been a maybe a lapse in judgment in the word that was used earlier But then certainly sound judgment to come back and say yeah guys. I was wrong for that I apologize forgive me and then you keep on moving for anybody that would want to condemn him for that How do you condemn him for it if afterwards he comes back and apologize? What do you want to do you want to step down forever you want to quit now if there's other issues with him I don't know. I don't know. I don't know a lot about his doctrine. I just now figured out his name He's got three first names and so I've been calling the wrong name all this time But what he did was what a person not a pastor But a person who names the name of Christ what a person should do and that's what and he sets an example for anyone That says something sometimes you might even say something that is not even worthy of offense But someone because they're always looking for something might take it to be offensive And so what do you do? I apologize if I could fix it next time I will I'll try to explain my heart if what you did wasn't a sin or maybe it was This is what the word tells us that if eating meat offends your brother It's not that meat is wrong and eating meat is wrong But if it fins your brother then guess what don't do it in front of them considering The weaker person and that's what you're supposed to anyone with a heart for the people anyone with a pastor With a pastor's heart or anyone with just a loving heart A concerned heart would do the exact same thing. So I applaud the young brother for this. I shouldn't say young brother I don't know how it is. I stopped saying that But I applaud this brother for what he's done what he I thought what he said was fine also Haven't heard that I think that was the only sermon I've heard thus far that he has preached I didn't catch all of it But I caught a good deal amount of it And so hey amen kudos kudos to him and kudos for him to see that Hey, even if you mess up how you come back and fix it. Amen
