The Todd Herman Show is one disapproved but big pharma technocorrats in tyrans everywhere from the high mountains of Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Today is the day the Lord has made in These are the times to which God has decided we shall live. A man who will not care for his own family is worse than an unbeliever. This is what the Lord Jesus told us. We don't provide for our own families, We're worse than someone who denies the Holy Spirit, denies the Lord's deity. And you can extend our family to our nation. And now, look, we're called to be kind
to sojourners. You are a sojourner, and I don't care if you consider yourself a citizen of whatever country you legally are, but if you are a Christian, you are a sojourner. You are traveling through this world. It is not our home. It is a place we're visiting, and just like any place we visit, our job is to try to leave it better than we found it. So how do we do that? We build the kingdom? Why because then his will be done on earth as it
is in heaven. The more time we build, we spend building the kingdom, the better it is for everyone else, because the kingdom is filled with people who do display the sort of love that's explained in the Bible. Does not keep lists of grievances. It's neither anging nor proud. It is patient, it is loving, it is kind, and people experience the fruit of the spirit. That is actual tolerance, not to pretend kind for political reasons. That is patience,
that is long suffering, that is joy charity. So people experience that when we're in the business of building the kingdom here, making God's will be done on Earth that is in heaven. Heaven has borders, doesn't it. Now if you are a if you're an absolutionist and you believe that everybody gets into heaven and there's no limits, then you don't believe in heaven. You believe in Earth two point zero. And if you believe that get into heaven,
then you don't believe in hell. You just believe that you graduate from one year of junior high and go to the next. So borderers, you can say, are godly. Oh, I know, I know, I know. Jesus was an illegal immigrant, except it wasn't because Egypt did not have border patrol. They didn't have border regulations. People at that time were currency. So when people came into your country and they were from a class of people, you were going to use
his labor. You did just that. As Megan said, one of the great anti hero philosophers, people are a resource. Nagan from The Walking Dead, By the way, far be it for me to bring Megan into a conversation with Jesus, Except he represented evil that enjoyed being evil until he experienced mercy. By the way, that changed him. It's a great moment in that show. So this whole border war. This is a spiritual thing, and you can prove that ways that are deeply, deeply uncomfortable. Jesus Christ did not
welcome everybody to the movement. He didn't welcome the Pharisees. The great and powerful religious authorities of the day were not welcomed. Why because they would not cross the spiritual border of recognizing their faults, of having added to the Word of God in some vicious ways that always seemed to protect them and their wealth and do nothing for people's salvations. So they weren't welcomed unless your name was Nicodemus.
And if you were Nicodemus, and you sought Jesus out, and Jesus agreed to meet with you on a rooftop at night so no one would see you, and you asked a bunch of questions and came to understand in your heart that truly this man is the son of God. But you were too afraid to leave your wealth and privilege of being one of the religious technocrats. You wouldn't
leave that, so you didn't walk with Jesus. When Nicodemus had been welcomed, he'd been invited, and he didn't specifically say no he just didn't do it until Jesus died for three days, and then Nicodemus is said through tradition to have been the one who provided the spice to anoint Jesus's bodies in the body and the oil. So he eventually then confessed in that way. So you can say that's a spiritual border. He wouldn't cross. Jesus Christ proves in my mind that this whole border discussion is
a spiritual discussion. And there's a very uncomfortable answer to this. This is representative of Monica mcgiver and we're bleeping some things out here because she takes the Lord's name in vain multiple times, and she has an announcement for America. You may not know this, but you are at war. We will not take this.
We will fight back.
And as that calls out because I know we've been out here for a long time, and shut down the citate.
We are have war.
Anytime, anytime a person can paid two hundred and fifty million dollars into a campaign and they've been given access for access to the Department of Treasury of the United States of America, we are at war.
This is the woman who went and body slam federal officers. And then she didn't body slam federal officers. She lied in that moment, she was trying to cross the border into a federal facility, she was trying to bring people with her who didn't belong in that federal facility her excuses, and was doing oversight. You can make an appointment to do oversight, you're a member of Congress. But she don't get to body slam federal officers. You don't get to
threaten them. You don't get to say things like I put my MF and hands on any MF or I want to, which is basically what she said. I think it was one MF or not two. So how do we get this to a spiritual war? First of all, she's an elder. I mean, she's clearly not a pastor. She could never be a pastor. But clearly she's been given a position of responsibility. And people who are given that respicion position of responsibility have been given much and
Mush's expected Titus, Chapter one, verse five through seven. This is why I left you in crete, so that you might appoint elders in every town, as I directed to you. If anyone's above reproach the husband of one wife and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. For an overseers, God Stewart must be above reproach. In One Timothy, chapter three, verse two,
we hear again an overseer must be above reproach. And she's, of course in that clip pretending that Elon must purchase access to the treasury. Elon Musk got volunteers to monitor our treasury, and to whom much is given, much as expected. And Jesus talked a lot about money and the necessity that we stirred it well. But back to the border,
there's a lawless one that's to come. The Bible describes a lawless one when we are unable to remove from our country people who are wanted in their home countries for terrible acts of violence and unaliving people and abusing little children in the worst possible ways, and we are deporting them back to the country to face justice for that after they snuck into ours and committed similar crimes. If we can't do that, then we can't fight the lawless one. God's will be done on earth as it
didn't Heaven. Yes, we need to pray for the people who've committed these crimes. We are called to do that even if their enemies. If their enemies were called to do it even more. But we have a nation to protect physically and then in course spiritually, and heaven has borders. President Trump is staking out in this very smart political territory and smart moral territory. And he's far closer to God's design in this than are the Democrats, and will
prove that the second God's design runs everything. It runs day and nights. And just remember this. God does not need day and night. He does not need a calendar, he does not need reminders. He does not need food or water or air, none of that he needs. It's all provided for us because we need it. It's a common blessings. Day from night is a common blessing. Water from land is a common blessing. This stuff makes sense of our worlds. He doesn't need gravity. We're all freaked
out without it. Remember that day there was no gravity. What was that nineteen seventy four and everyone was freaking out because we're floating around. We need this stuff. He designed our bodies. There are people who've been blessed to understand how we can use God's design to help our bodies achieve more or to fight back against the salt in our food system. Men my age are terrible at maintaining muscle. I'm in my late fifties. The man average
man my age has over forty percent body fat. Young men in the age of thirty, they are in the thirty five thirty two to thirty percent thirty thirty two to thirty five percent body fat on average. That will eventually destroy you metabolically. It destroys your spinal system, et cetera. Too much load on the body makes it very difficult to do fun things physically, so there's a lot to unlocking that. And a pill, no matter how good the company is, isn't the way to do it. But there
are ways to get there. So add to your regular metabolic exercise routines. And by the way, routine is the enemy of success, so make sure to change that up to your eating well that is whole foods, clean foods. Priority is protein and your consistent consumption of water. Add this on top. It's mass times from bioptos measures. It
will help you properly digest proteins. It's now thirty percent stronger and prior to this reformulation, it provided sixteen hundred times more amino acids in our bodies versus people who didn't take it, and amino acids maintain your lean muscle,
which is the only way to grow more.

Biopdiemishers dot com slash Todd promo code Todd Mass Simes leveraging the things God designed for the bodies He designed. President Trump has a political design, is what he's doing in terms of the border.
It also happens to be a better moral design. Side by side comparison of Democrats agitating, body slamming, assaulting officers to get illegal immigrants who are wanted in their home countries for terrible crimes out of detention versus President Trump crooker Joe Biden.
The US government has spent nearly one billion dollars to house illegal aliens and foreigns in expensive luxury hotels. Courtesy of you. The American taxpayer, and they want to spend billions and billions more. In many states, we are running out of hotel space because the rooms are all booked up with illegal aliens living in a very large way on the American taxpayer's dime. Meanwhile, we have thirty three thousand veterans in this country who are homeless and living
very poorly, I might add, and it's a shame. They're living in filth and squalor on our streets. Nobody is doing a thing for them. We help them a lot during my four years, and it's all been dropped. Everything we did for our veterans has been dropped. It's a disgrace. Joe Biden puts illegal aliens before homeless veterans, and we cannot let this happen any longer. The American veteran is one of our greats. These are great, great people we have to take care of. When I am reelected, this
national scandal will end. On day one, I will sign an executive order to cut off Joe Biden's massive spigot of funding for shelter and transport of illegal aliens and redirect a portion of those savings, a very large portion, I might add, to provide shelter and treatment for homeless American veterans.
So contrast and compare. You have people who are willing to lay down their lives for another. And no greater love has man then to be willing to lay down your life for a brother. That's what veterans have been willing to do to the stance taken by the Democrats, and Trump wins morally. From a Christian perspective, are veterans better than others? From a Christian perspective? Are they better than others? Now? The veterans, I know, they don't want
that hero status. They in fact get very uncomfortableted They don't like it, like, hey, I've heard fake from you enough Todd. I need to hear it anymore or I'll get saying to me, hey, stop emphasizing the fact that you didn't serve. You serve in your way, We served
in ours. In fact, in the Bible we read if during a church service from the temple, you see someone super well dressed coming and say, hey, come sit up here with us, sit up a close to the front, and someone comes in who's needy and and no hygiene and perhaps homeless, you say no, no, no, stay and back. We don't want you up here. You're committing a grave sin because you're judging for God. God loves all of
us equally. And the people who fought in our armed forces fought to uphold the rule of law that the behees to the civilian authorities. And Jesus Christ followed the civilian authorities right up to the cross, and it was mocked for that. Save yourself, if you're the Messiah, save yourself. And if you believe that Jesus was and is God, he could have, but he wasn't there to save himself. He was on the cross next to two criminals. One of them accepted Jesus and asked to be welcomed in
the kingdom. And Jesus told him, very truly, I tell you today, he would join me in paradise. Could it have been a criminal like this on the other side of him? I just reported Mexican National Area Nunez Figuero, who's wanted it in Mexico for Mexico for his alleged role in unliving forty three students from a teacher's college in twenty fourteen. Forty three students unlived. They want him back to face justice. The Democrats would be saying, no, no, no,
he's a Maryland man. Don't know what state he was living in at the time, but they would call him whatever state he's living in, that's lawlessness. Could that be like the criminal on the cross next to which Jesus stood, He didn't get in. The criminal who confessed to you is his lord and noticed that he was innocent and spoke those words. He got in. Because Heaven has borders. Jesus is on their cross. Because Jesus obeyed the civilian authorities,
he could have crossed to a whole other border. Metaphorical sure, he could have raised an army in five seconds, an angelic army instantly, and five or ten thousand people to fight against Rome immediately within a week. He didn't. That was a figurative border he wouldn't cross. Jesus then crossed the border between life and death, and then he came back in the first person and only person in history to bring himself back from the dead cross that border.
Heaven has borders, and as rules, they're gonna check ID. They don't really need the ID. Not everybody gets in. If you believe everybody gets into Heaven, you don't believe in Heaven, you believe in Earth two point zero. And if you don't believe that to whom much is given, much is expected, then take what you've been given and know that we can come and take it. The border war is a spiritual war. Story Number two, President Trump,
the Qatar airplane, and the Bible. Now, why look at this from the perspective of the Bible, Because the Bible is good. God's word is good for teaching, instruction and rebuke across the board. And I've been thinking about this in a real worldly sense. In fact, I've been using my own wisdom to think through this, and I felt uneasy about it. Every time I tried to make an argument for this, I felt uneasy, starting with the fact
that it's ABBC News that broke this story. So of course I believe ABC News is lying because it has to do with President Trump, and ABC News hates President Trump. This is the headline I first saw. Trump administration poised to accept Palace in the Sky as a gift for Trump from Qatar, sources. Luxury jumbo jed is to be used as Air Force one, sources told ABC News Jonathan
carl and Catherine Falders sore. Right there. I know those are two people who loathe President Trump, and then Trump poised to accept as a gift to Trump.
No way.
The second I read that, I said, no, it's not going to be for Donald Trump. It might be for the White House. President Trump says it's for the Department of Defense. So right away, of course some suspect of the story. So because he's my guy, I want to defend him, even though he don't agree with everything he does. If youny think I don't agree with everything he says, I want to defend him. And also because ABC is
an enemy and I failed to pray for him. So there you go, the huge force of logs in my eye. Some notes from their Twitter story breaking Katar to gift four hundred million dollar plane to President Trump lie. According to the ABC News, the Trump administrations is set to accept a luxury Boeing seven forty seven to eight jumbo jet valued around four hundred million from the Katari royal family.
The plane will serve as Air Force One for Trump until just before he leaves office, after which ownership will transfer to his Presidential Library Foundation. So it's to say this may be the most valuable gift ever given to
the US by a foreign government. Fox News host and part time I'm Attorney General Pam Bondi said Trump's White House lawyers David Warrington concluded the arrangement is legally permissible, and Bondi, who by way, in addition to being a lawyer for Pfizer, who was also a registered agent for Qatar, provided the legal memo approving the deal. So I wanted to defend it. President Trump did a pretty good job
of defending it. So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a gift free of charge of a seven forty seven aircraft to replace the forty year old Air Force one temporarily in very public and transparent transactions, so bothers the crooked Democrats. They insist we pay top dollar for the plane. Anybody can do that. The Dems are world class losers. Mega make America great again. I want
to defend it. Boeing can't seem to produce an airplane because they're busy defending DEI and of course they're absolutely not unliving people who have been whistleblowers against them. That's never happened. But they can't seem to get Air Force one delivered so I want to defend it. So why do I continue to feel uneasy? I mean, we could use all sorts of debate techniques on this. We could point to Joe Biden. This isn't going to Trump personally.
What about the fifty million for Joe Biden? What about Barack Obama becoming a billionaire after your left office because he's an experienced film director. What about William Jefferson blythe Clinton the Third and the Clinton Foundation, and in Chelsea getting her wedding paid for in her townhouse. And we can do all of that, and it's all correct. It's all a great comparison. Why did I feel an easy I took a break between recording segments. I sat down.
God spoken in my heart. Stop thinking for yourself, think about me, and I explain what God said to me here in just a second after I let my mind relax and God enter into my mind. God is the author of all things. He's the author of your mind. He's the author of the pains we have. I mean he allows it. I mean God probably didn't tell me when I was thirteen years old it'd be a super good idea to jump off of a three story house
into three mattresses. I don't think God said that. I don't think God said, hey, you know what, as an old dude, why don't you try to bench press four hundred pounds and not get bones purst in your shoulder? Why don't you do that? I don't think God said that. There's a lot of things I decided to do contrary to God's word, and I pay the price. But I pay the price for being active. If you are an active person and that activity is starting to become impossible.
I know people who love riding bikes, they can't ride anymore. It's their knees. I know people who love skiing, they can't ski anymore. It's their knees or their back. Then there's work related stuff. People who love the trades and can no longer do them. They can't well because their hands don't work. They can't be in construction because they literally can't get in and out of their trucks, so
they're handing off the businesses to their kids. Or this a woman who loved horse riding and training people to ride horses and being a coach. She couldn't do it because she fell off a horse and was hemispherically paralyzed. Every single one of those conditions has been addressed successfully by renew dot health Care. They are, in my opinion, the world leaders in using stem cells responsibly, and they
use manipulated stem cells. That is what this means. They get to reject eighty percent of the stem cells they look at because they only want the best twenty percent, because then they magnify those. They multiply it. In other words, they culture them to grow more. They control possession of these stem cells from point of birth and tell the injections, and they constantly test them, and again only from umbilical cords.
I've done this three times and I will probably do it a fourth because I want to continue to do the things I love physically. Go check them out at renew dot Healthcare. They will tell you if they can help you. They will tell you how much it will cost, they will tell you how long it will take, and if you can afford it and you're ready to do it, they'll welcome you with open arms. If it's not something you can afford or you are not comfortable, they will thank you for a time and maybe even give you
some suggestions for other ways to go. It's renewed r E. Nue Dot Healthcare. I feel very comfortable telling you I stand by these guys. I felt incredibly uncomfortable every time I tried to defend President Trump's purchase of this jet, or not purchase, but acceptance of it from Katar where there's the optics in the mockingbird media. But the mockingbird media can't hurt President Trump. They've completely lost the ability to change anyone's opinion about President Trump. They can't cause
more people to hate him. That's topped out. So why by worry, Because as God said to me, he's a leader. We want to see godly behavior from a godly man. President Trump says God saved his life. President Trump says he worships Jesus. President Trump has spoken great, great things about how God made us as individuals. But what God TECs. He just recognized the covenants the original settlers of Americ if you want to put it that way. The settlers,
they created a covenant with God. He just recognized this in a proclamation. And this is what got to me. This comes from desiring God. Now it says what a pastor may be. I understand President Trump's not pastor in chief, but he's a leader. When we open up to the lists of elder qualifications in one Timothy three to one through seven and Titus one sixty two nine, we might be surprised to find, first and foremost a summary trait that may sound unimpressively low bar to some ears and
unattainably high to others. Above reproach one Timothy, chapter three, verse two. An overseer must be above reproach Titus chapter one, verses five through seven. This is why I left you in crete, so that you might appoint elders in every town as I directed you. If anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife and his children are believers, not open to the charge of debauchery or an some bordination.
For an overseer as God, Stuart must be above reproach. Now, I don't contend to believe that a four hundred dollars airplane given the Department of Defense is going to make President Trump give Qatar extra things. I don't know that to be the case, but I know it does not communicate being above reproach. On the other side of this, if you'd like to go back to the secular, there is the statue of liberty that was gifted to the United States. It's pretty expensive and very important to us,
and it belongs to everybody. And you can still go tour it like you can still go up in it, unless they've stopped that. I still feel uneasy. I don't want our president to be this face of Christianity. I prefer that he be above reproach. If you're watching or listening to this on a platform or you can give feedback, I would love to hear what you think, So tell me what you think. You can do it in comment sections, you can do it at the Todd Herman Show dot com.
You can do it at social media. But tell me what you think that I get this one wrong? And did God get it wrong? Maybe I got God wrong? Story number three the new Pope versus the old media. So Pope Leo to me is very much and this is shocking, a mixed bag, really shocking because he's a human being, but he's pope, so it's to be perfect. Now. In fact, did you see that his brother's got a mouth on him? His brother has called what was it, Lizzie Warren? He called her a terrible word for women
that only other women get to use. Against women. But it's that way that men can't use it. And I'm not even gonna say what letter begins with, because you already figure out what it is. They called her a drunken that, and to some people's eyes, that's comforting, like Wow, he has a brother who's like Billy Carter back in the day, and if you're both at the age of fifty. Billy Carter was the brother of a president named Jimmy who is the second worst president in history first until
there came Joe Biden. So the new pope, though, is very much a mixed bag. He is more nuanced on the border and on immigration than was the heretical pope before him. It was a heretic on issues related to human sexuality and marriage, et cetera. He was also an extremist in relation to immigration and was a Marxist full
bore Pope Leo is far more nuanced. He admits that nations need to be able to protect who comes into the countries, but he also admits, and correctly so, that we're all sojourners, and that we are to be kind to sojourners, and that we must be compassionate in how we carry out laws, all solid things for a Christian religious leader. The mockingbird media so wants him to be their guy that they're finding anywhere they can make him
their guy. Even when they get asked questions about Popolio's stance on abortion and an lgb Q so called t beliefs, they kind of just like to move past that.
Claudio, I want to quote from then Cardinal Robert Prevos, and this is what he has said. We are often worried about teaching doctrine, but we risk forgetting that our first duty is to communicate the beauty and joy of knowing Jesus. That was an interview with Vatican News. Claudio, Do we know where Pope Leo stands on the issues like abortion, the LGBTQ community, women in the church, et cetera.
Well, what we know for now, of course, Anna, is why he's chosen that name, Leo the fourteenth, Because every time a pope chooses the name of a previous pope,
he wants to follow in the previous pope's footsteps. Now, Leo the thirteenth was a pope at the end of the nineteenth century in the beginning of the twentieth century who was really concerned about social justices, especially for workers at the time of the Industrial Revolution, when that affected really the rights of workers, but also created jobs, and
it also made some old jobs disappear. And what's interesting here is that there was an Italian There was an Italian newspaper that just published an interview with the Archbishop of Belgrade in Serbia, who revealed that last night during dinner, they asked him, They asked the Pope, why why did you choose that name? And at least according to the Archbishop of Belgrade, he responded that, well, because we are
in the same situation as Leo the thirteenth. Was the difference here is he said that we are now facing the digital revolution and as a consequence, a lot of jobs are going to be affected as well as workers' rights. Now, this is according to an Italian news I.
Forgot what was the question she asked, Was it about digital job rights? It was equal pay for equal work, that's right. It was about the LGBQ so called t people, and they didn't want to talk about that from the Vatican at least, Well, if only there was a way to kind of uncover or this pope might be except that would mean you'd have to go look at what he said about the new media and what he said or not new media, about the old media, about the
ancient media and their relationship to human kind. You'd have to go uncover that, and that might come from all of twelve years ago. But he did speak about digital. So I'll show you this in just a second. Because the new Pope, I don't think he's a friend of the old media or the tech media, particularly what they're doing to kids, minds and souls. He would prefer that they have clean minds and souls, at least as much as we're able to do that. There's that phrase that
cleanliness is next to godliness. Now why is that the case? Because Jesus made clear it's not what goes into the body that makes it dirty, but what comes out that is, in fact our words, what comes out of the mouth. He's famous for talking about whitewashed tombs, people who look good on the outside but are spiritually dead on the inside. And Jesus did, in fact go and wash the feet of its followers. Now that was an act of serving. It was deeply spiritual, deeply meaningful, and it wasn't about
taking a bath. It was about him showing I came to serve, not be served. But that phrase godliness is clumsiness is next to godliness. We're given these bodies when we are when we're changed by the Lord Jesus, we accept them as our Lord and savior. We agree to be changed by him. They become a home for the
Holy Spirit. Were made in His image. Caring for our bodies and keeping him clean is an active course of self care and for the care around us people around us, Because if you don't wash yourself, you stink and people hate you. And that's right, they should hate you. Well, they have to pray for you. But if you stink, they should hate you and then pray for you and then tell you to take a bath. So what do
you use to take the bath? You can go to a great, big, huge company and they're probably in the background laughing as they take their soaps and test it on people in China who are there against their will, maybe in a weaker camp, one of those terrible camps. Or you could go to Alan Soaps. A soap is made in the United States of America by a family and they construct the soaps that are natural, all natural, no chemicals, whatsoever, very very mild soaps because they are
inspired by Alan, who's fourteen. He's been through about eighteen operations. He's effectively nonverbal, and the rest of the world didn't want him. I mean, he has friends, et cetera. But now he can't be a good employee except he is. He invents fragrances of soap. He works every single day in packaging and quality control. His brother Ian, also impacted by autism, works there, and Amy, who got autism late
in life. So when you are cleaning the temple of your body, why not use something that proves all lives matter. These kids, too, were knit together in their parents' wounds, the mother's wounds. Go to alansaps dot com slash todd. You get fifteen percent off all the products there, including
the soap. It's allansaps dot com slash todd. So way back twelve years ago, then Cardinal Provost made a statement about the mockingbird media in the digital media that seems to indicate where he might stand on these issues of LGBQ so called t people. While the Roberty Provosts Prior General of the Augustinian Order reads from the address to the snout of Bishop's.
Western mass media is extraordinarily effective in fostering within the general public enormous sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel, for example, abortion, homosexual lifestyle, euthanasia. Religion is at best tolerated by mass media as tame and quaint when it does not actively oppose positions on
ethical issues that the media have embraced as their own. However, when religious voices are raised in opposition to these positions, mass media can target religion, labeling it as ideological and insensitive in regard to the so called vital needs of
people in the contemporary world. The sympathy for anti Christian lifestyle choices that mass media fosters is so brilliantly and artfully ingrained in the viewing public that when people hear the Christian message, it often inevitably seems ideological and emotionally cruel. By contrast to the ostensible humaneness of the anti Christian perspective.
Catholic pastors who preach against the legalization of abortion or the redefinition of marriage are portrayed as being ideologically driven, severe and uncaring, not because of anything they say or do, but because their audiences contrast their message with the sympathetic, caring tones of media produced images of human beings who, because they are caught in morally complex life situations, opt for choices that are made to appear as healthful and good.
Note for example, how alternative families comprised of same sex partners and their adopted children are so benignly and sympathetically portrayed in television programs and cinema today. If the new evangelization is going to come to these mass media produced distortions of religious and ethical reality successfully, pastors, preachers, teachers, and catechists are going to have to become far more informed about the context of evangelizing in a world dominated by mass media.
For me, evangelizing in a world dominated by mass media, what it has to do with these issues that are so easily used to hurt starts with why did Jesus come? Because he was assigned the role God the Father set him down and said, look, there's something I'm going to have you do, and you're not going to want to do it, but I'm going to make you do it. Not if you believe in the train and Godhead, Father's son in the Holy ghost always existed, always will exist
together described in Genesis, described out the Bible. Jesus volunteered to do it. But why because he wanted to come and check out what it's like to be human? Why why didn't he come and check it out and then go back? Why did he choose to be born into a relative slave class? Why why did he choose to be subjected to punishment? Why did he serve in such a submissive way? Why? Well, because a lot of need to be fulfilled. But why not just wave it? Why not just God give up? What's the thing in golf?
A mulligan or a do over? Because God can't argue with himself. He's unchanging and unchangeable. So why why did Jesus come? Because God so loved the world, so evangelizing
into communities like this has to begin with love. And if you don't have love in your heart for people who are have been told their whole life that this is good and well, that just as a man who might choose to commit adultery on his wife, or a woman wife on her husband, or whatever form of sexual sin or financial sin, been told their whole life, this is okay, that you're the one person to come along
and say I love you, and it's not okay. That has to be driven by love, or I think you failed because you're bringing hatred to the equation, which doesn't belong in evangelism. Now, the mockingbird media doesn't want to face this about the new Pope and the things he said. They want to color that away, they want to erase it away. But all around us there's signs that the Pope then cardinal was right and is right now. This
is from the subway, I think in New York. It's an ad for Apple phones refurbished, reducing the iPhone twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen refurbished one for every member of your polycule. He was right then, he's right now. Jesus said in the end times pople were reject sound teaching. They will be lovers of themselves. And he spoke of people who have the appearance of knowing God but lack all the power thereof, whose love has grown cold, grown cold. Let
that not be us. This is the todd Hermanshow please go be well, be strong, be kind, and choose to walk in the very clear light of Jesus Christ.
