following program is sponsored by seattle open door church yet all open door church is committed to loving god loving people and loving life our doors are open to whomever no mass required seattle open door church hypocrisy must then how many know that there is some hypocrisy that goes on in overall do you know why there's apocrypha that goes on in the world because they are separate grants and who are those hypocrites human beings is it to realize that we're all hypocrites to an extent if you look at the definition we jealousy cause a lot of that is so this think about just the word hypocrisy for a minute hypocrisy is to say one thing to do something else ok and all of us will fall short because all of us at some time or say i'm going to do this or that and then we don't do it and there's a big difference if i say i'm going to be at your house at ten o'clock and i get in an accident nine forty five and i show up late in my hypocrite but if i say i'm going to come at ten o'clock and i never come at ten o'clock and i'm always coming late all the time and i say i'm going to be there on time after a while you say you're a hypocrite well we because it seems like your word is a match in your actions ok and so as we look at the hypocrisy as society in the church this make sure there are not too busy pointing the fingers at everybody else without looking at our own hypocrisy in our own lives case and patras is secular society when the reasons there's so much sexual harassment sexual abuse in america is because of the mixed message that is spewed by secular society purposely use the word  when something is spewed what do you think of things like bomb it is worse than that ok and so it's something that yeah fits that word spewing of our culture the culture doesn't think what it says because the cultures different since the sixty's we've had the sexual revolution and the culture has said since the sixty's that anything goes when it does the sexual arena  out anything goes it doesn't matter you can do whatever you want to do free sex right that was a concept as free sex and you know what do whatever you want freedom freedom freedom freedom how many know that freedom that isn't ordained by god becomes bondage freedom that is not ordained by god becomes bondage that there's nothing wrong with freedom but it has to be the guidelines of god's guidelines or put you into bondage and so what has happened is sex is jesus time yes obviously women for a long time had no rights it's only been recently in the history of mankind that women have the same rights as men do you realize that it's always been there but our culture is done something with the whole sexual revolution this change the whole concept of six completely children are affected now by it that they've never been affected in the in the past as they have been now i'm going to talk more about that so th the magination hard porn became that anything goes and so it is total total nudity and every kind of perversion there was that you could possibly see there was a change that took place and then we bring in video or bring in the internet so what happens now is anybody can see it and how many know that children stumble on it that it is very easy for them to stumble into pornography now has it not changed it obviously has changed their sexual acts that they've that you can see in videos that nobody ever talk about and nobody for sure would admit to it so it could have been going on a long time ago but nobody would be bored enough to say hey guys look at what i've been watching and now minal sit around in a room and talk about the perversion there's been a change has taken place it's no longer a little boy stumbling on daddy's magazine under the bed is that getting on the internet and seeing it all to the point of the media promotes that concept as a bad thing how many people would actually advertise on a site hey i'm married and i'm looking for someone else that's married to have sex with them think about that did that happen twenty years ago thirty years ago fifty years ago i can say i could say even as a person that grew up in the sixty's there was a people going around bragging about committing adultery even at the time the sexual revolution adultery was still seem to something you didn't do and now sexual abuse is apocrypha see if you turn around promoting adultery that means when a woman has a ring on her finger it doesn't matter anymore how many mindon at the raise your hand but how many men in the midst of living in the world that you made a value made a valid you saw a ring on a woman's finger you didn't try to have any relationship with her now that's a different story the ring means nothing whatsoever and so then you have a society that legitimizes adultery so then you have a woman that acts a certain way looks a certain way and it throw away their wedding bands because their wedding bands mean nothing because they're not committed to their bells whatsoever a man who is married to his wife who is looking up on daughter fee is a man there's not committed to his wife he's committed to i would say hypocrite so this go to the next topic hypocrisy in the church we could complain about the things of the world we can say how the rule is nothing but is a bunch of hypocrites that society says free sex is ok but then if somebody tries to walk it out they were saying is sexual because a sexual harassment we can mock that we can complain about it we can be irritated about it but the reality is apocrypha is in the church is not just in the world if they would describe happens in the church everything we've talked about happens in the church the church has certainly become such a sex sexualized just like secular society am i wrong is that true is or divorces happen in church because people have cheated on each other is there pornography in church  know what those statistics are seventy percent of pastors in america have bew pornography do pornography not currently not stumble on at one time but they've  have more than one time that says something about the church ok practicing practicing sexual abstinence is seen as outdated how we knew there was a time when abstinence was seen as something that you did in as a christian kids are going to have sex anyway so this make sure they get condoms this make sure they can get abortions this make sure that we can do it every can to help limit some of what goes on because we're going to do it anyways tell me where that's in the bible where in the bible does god seven tell you what i'm going to change the standard some because i know in the year two thousand and eighteen is going to be hard to follow the standard saul i'm going to doubt that so every year i'm going less and less in the word of god so that is easier for you people to live is that in the bible god's standard is stayed the same how do people practice abstinence in the church forget about the role in the church how do people practice abstinence at the time of one hundred eighty how are they able to do that because they're more spiritual than us more holy than us closer to the time of jesus how do they do it by the spirit of god living within them just like they've done i practice abstinence from sex but they also practice to walk in wholeness impurity i was able to do it by the power of the holy spirit how does a teenager today in the church that calls itself a christian practice abstinence by the spirit of god living within them you don't change the standard you give the tools to be able to walk in it and if you turn to truly love christ it comes a point you love him more than you love the sin divorce in a spouse for the purpose of marrying someone is common practice of many churches i know churches where two people who are dating that are married both of them married and they start dating another person and then they get divorced and that same church marries them after they got divorced i've seen that i could give you the names of the churches but i won't ok so if you like that kind of church i can let you know by the way half of seattle you can go to him find him in our culture today so i don't have the navy a name just go to twenty churches and you will find some that way and you'll find pastors who are pastors who committed adultery got divorced and got married to their mistress and a pastor in a church now now can god forgive you he can absolutely forgive ok but there comes a place between i sinned i fall short for forgiveness and i plan it all out and then i ask for forgiveness all those goals in spite of what scripture teaches this is hypocrisy to now many hit on the part that i'm going to challenge some of you how many of you ever heard take the lord's name in vain how many see that normally as cursing that if you curse test taking the lord's name in vain ok and especially if you put the god word or jesus in that curse ok the poxy is those who claim to be followers of christ those who claim the name of his for the salvation those who say they are christians that's the ocracy those who claim that they believe in what the bible says they believe what the bible teaches those who claim that i'm a born again christian i accept jesus into my life those who claim where they say they're born again or not but they call themselves a christian because a lot of people claim they're christians they're not born again so anybody that says i am a christian i don't care if you're cat your promise that i don't care joel a witness i don't care if you're mormon i don't care what church what organization what religion you are if you're claiming the name of jesus even if some of those religions are not truly born again is that you claim the name of jesus that you're a follower of christ you say that jesus is how you get to salvation and you're walking in sexual harassment or sexual abuse if you're walking in premarital sex if you're watching pornography if you're committed daltry you are more than a hypocrite you're taking the lord's name  how you take the lord's name in vain you're taking the name of jesus upon you but you're living a different life so this look at deuteronomy five eleven you should not take the name of the lord your god in vain for the lord will not leave him and punish who takes his name in vain now if i say god damned if i say that is that taking the lord's name in vain i would say that is taking his name in vain right you're putting cursing to his name ok so that truly could be the case but we are so stuck on christians not cursing that take a large name in vain all day long because we get it wrong we're still stuck of somebody cleaning their language up and not cleaning their life up so i turn around and i'm a i'm one that curses all the time and i use in jesus name and i'm used as a curse word i'm using god's name using the curse word as a christian and i'm turn around and i'm having sex outside of marriage and i'm doing all this kind of stuff and then well what will christians get up tight about when you talk i can't believe you use jesus name as a curse name but nobody says i can't believe that you're having sex outside of marriage christians who live on golly immoral life who practice the same sexual immorality the rest of the world are taking god's name in vain and yet we're worried about curse words think about that for a moment there's a big difference not justifying curse words but there's a big difference notice what it says is ten is is anybody get this is says for the lord will not leave him on punished who takes his name in vain if you live a lifestyle that's mocking the spirit of god that lives within you there is going to be punishment that comes if you think you're going to get away with you will not get away with it will god expose the sin absolutely w many get away with it intil jesus comes back if your book but if you are truly born again i question if you live that lifestyle but say you are and you still get to heaven if you think you get to heaven you got understand something there's still a judgement in heaven is called the beam of judgement is the judgment of god upon christians for the works they have done so you may not go to hell as a christian live in a sexual immorality i question again how a christian christian can do that but how do you want to be that when you stand up in the day of judgment and everybody's getting the rewards and you stand there with zero zilch that's going to be an ex interesting experience i would argue that when the bible says there will be no more tears in heaven i think there's going to be some tears in heaven and got to wipe them away but there will be regrets you don't think there be regrets there will be regrets now it's heaven you're forgiven and all that stuff but the issue is not on have in what about here you don't think there's regrets if you take the lord's name in vain how many of us have lived a lifestyle that wasn't christ like and we feel guilt we feel shame we feel condemnation all those kind of things to claim jesus as your lord and savior take on his name a call and yourself a christian in it living differently in regards to sexual area your life is breaking the third committing commandments the bible says you will not go unpunished no hypocrisy if it christian chooses to not be a hypocrite if they choose to follow the prince was found scripture they will not be perpetrators of sexual harassment sexual abuse that's the bottom line if you follow the principles of the bible you make you understand and trust i wanted to give you a double blessing by visiting you twice first of my way to macedonia and again return from macedonia then you could simeon my way to judeo so then says you may be asked why change my plan in other words he changes plan he's going to see and once we saw him twice they may say well you hypocrite you see to see as once and you saw it twice and he knows that something could say that trying to attack him so he says you may be asking why change my plan do you think i make my plans carelessly in other words can you change your plans does that make you a hypocrite no it is interesting that he says that he says i change my plans but i'm not a hypocrite i've been led by god to change my plans do you think i'm like the people who say yes when they really mean no do do it they say i want to be the lord and savior of my life what should you do make that him or the lord save your life and when you fall short as we all fall short what do you do you repent and what you do you start over again you start fresh but you can't blatantly willfully on an ongoing basis commit sins over and over again it listen everybody has their story every story short everybody has different stories we have people in this in and women who have kids out of wedlock so i'm not judging anybody ok but let me tell you if your yes is real yeses as a christian yes as a yes as a your nose or nose can you have a baby out of water block can you not if you're absolutely not is there forgiveness is there mercy is there the grace of god so i'm not going to put guilt on people but lesson we got to get truthful in the church there should be no on wed mothers that are christians should there a yes or yes or no is or knows again we all fall short but this don't take it on this what about other areas of life so those who want to pick on the unwed mothers we can do something else we could talk about your sin the thought yes the fathers that aren't there why are they why are they unwed mothers we never look at that in our culture you know that that really makes me mad actually makes me very angry command could be deadbeats and they're not looked at the woman is looked at s your nose knows so you know i may not fall under judgement ever christians try to take this wrong so when they tell you to swear on the bible when you go to corp there's christians i won't do it because they say i'm not supposed to swear on the bible does it say that you know what it says it says live your life take it to what it says live your life so when you say yes as yes when you say no it's no and nobody questions you and your word that's what that saying and it's saying if you say yes but you live to say no if you say yes and you do the opposite you're going to come under judgment that's what he's talking about is not turned around and taken aback i put my hand the bible seven tell the truth that's not what is talking about what is talking about is that you should live a life so that people believe you because you or yes and your nose or no so if we follow that principle guess what there would not be sexual harassment taking place in church settings and it is very sad when you look at sexual abuse taking place in church said he's when you read about pastors who stand up in a pol pot and they preach against sin they preach against all those things and then you find out that they are involved in pornography they're involved m l s station they're involved in all the different things that are involved in christian man  see news again and to see christian coaches to turn around and they're turning around and having sex with fourteen year old girls that's just messed up something has to change but this is best to ridge do you need to know jesus christ your lord and savior jesus said behold i stand at the door and not going to be one hears my voice and opens
