Good morning. I'm going to be stretching it
to get this material in that length of time. I don't want to do that. May
the Lord help us. If you would, turn in your Bibles
to Job, chapter 28. The 28th chapter of Job. This is my text for today, and
I will leave it to your own understanding to make the connection between
the text and what I'm going to be speaking on. That way I won't
have to do it. But you will, if you meditate
and think on these things. Reading Job chapter 28, surely
there is a vein for silver and a place for gold where they find
it. Iron is taken out of the earth
and brass is molten out of the stone. He setteth an end to darkness
and searcheth out all perfection, the stones of darkness and the
shadow of death. The flood breaketh out from the
inhabitant, even the waters forgotten of the foot. They are dried up,
they are gone away from men. As for the earth, out of it cometh
bread. and under it is turned up, as
it were, fire. The stones of it are a place
of sapphires, and it has dust of gold. There is a path which
no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen.
The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed
by it. He putteth forth his hands upon
the rock, he overturneth the mountains by the roots. He cutteth
out rivers among the rocks, and his eye seeth every precious
thing. He bindeth the floods from overflowing,
and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. But where
shall wisdom be found, and where is the place of understanding?
Man knoweth not the price thereof, neither is found in the land
of the living. The depth saith, it is not in me, and the sea
saith, it is not with me. It cannot be gotten for gold,
neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. It cannot
be valued with the gold of Ophir. and with the precious onyx or
the sapphire. The gold and the crystal cannot
equal it, and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of
fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral
or of pearls, for the price of wisdom is above rubies. The topaz
of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with
pure gold. Whence then cometh wisdom, and
where is the place of understanding? seeing it is hid from the eyes
of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. Destruction
and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. For he looketh to the ends of
the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven, to make the weight
for the winds, and he weigheth the waters by measure. When he
made a decree for the rain and a way for the lightning of the
thunder, then did he see it and declare it. He prepared it, yea,
and searched it out. And unto man he said, Behold,
the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and depart from evil
is understanding." An excellent text. Speaking of the things
that are in the earth that are seen and the things that are
outside of the earth that are not seen, wisdom not seen, but
should be practiced. So we're continuing today in
our study on thoughts of Christian ethics from the scripture. We're
in lesson three or week three, and the title of it we're calling
Thou Shall Not Steal and Just Weights and Measures. We read
from Job 28. So we're continually, first our
way of review, we'll look back and we'll see that there are
three primary foundational issues. They're threefold, and it's God's
sovereign order, the fall of man, and redemption. These form
the foundation and framework of all our study relative to
Christian ethics. that in God's sovereign order,
He sustains all things. Everything, every law, every
molecule, what we would call random or not so random, is controlled
by a sovereign God. He created rules in that universe
and in that entire creation, and we are bound by it. We will not free ourselves from
that order. Second, the fall of man, that
man fell from a sinless, innocent creation. He was made with the
capacity to fall, which he did. He did rather readily, not so
long after he was created. This brought sin and death into
the world. So now we have a principle of
sin that is in the world, that is in us, that is in every man,
that is always warring against the ethic of God, the truth of
God. Third, foundational is redemption. that God took upon himself in
the person of the Lord Jesus Christ to remedy this fall. He did that through his blood
sacrifice, which he had required. He required this sacrifice. Jesus
executed, was executed, rose again, separated from death. And now God has fulfilled his
covenant in that he has written his laws on our hearts. and not
on tablets of stone. That is an ethic that comes from
the heart with right motives. In the second, we looked at another
impediment to the ethics of the Christian, the ethics from scripture,
is the fear of man. is that we are supposed to fear
God and fear only God and His law and His covenants, but we
fear man, the thoughts of man, what other men might think of
us, what other men are doing, the ideas and philosophies that
may be veiled in men's speech. as we weigh them against the
scripture. So we are found that a leading
reason for unethical behavior is a fear of man as opposed to
a fear of God, as the fear of man brings a snare. The basis of all civil order
The reason we're here today, and they're not enemies surrounding
us, shooting at us through the windows, or robbing our cars,
I suppose they're not, while we're standing here, is an undercurrent
of honesty, an undercurrent of principle. These allow us to
live in a rather peaceful way in our day. It's not just a basic
truth-telling type of honesty where we speak the truth, where
we don't lie to each other, where we don't tell stories, where
we don't make things up so much, and, you know, with false and
ambiguous words. But I'm talking about a truth
that is the very framework, the very foundation of all ethical
behavior, and that is an inner honesty. It is the root of honesty
that there is a just standard by which we weigh all things.
That's the type of honesty that I'm talking about in our culture
that allows us to do the things that we want to do. And we'll
go into that a little bit more in just a minute. It is a supposition,
a presupposition if you will, but it's a supposition of trust. It is a fiber of society. It
holds things together. If I didn't trust any of you
that would. do me wrong while I'm standing
here, although he may be thinking wrong while standing here, if
I didn't trust you it would be much harder and more difficult
to come and speak. So we have a basic trust. If
we didn't trust that when we go home today that our home is
going to be safe, we would be much more fearful and much more
time would be spent determining if it was safe to go home or
not. It's an assumption. There is a trust and supposition
of trust as a fiber of our society. Though, if you look at the scripture,
there's a word in scripture that God uses several times and others
have used several times. It's the word abomination. Abomination. It is something that is hated,
something that is despised. And there's something that exists
in our day and it exists since the fall of man, certain abominations
that God called such. And when God calls something
an abomination, we must pay particular attention to that. Particular,
focused, absolute, thought-provoking attention to what it is. An abomination
is not just, you know, Your son told you a little story or misrepresented
something. Well, that is wrong in itself,
not necessarily an abomination. An abomination has to be hated
because of its potential to destroy a civilization, to destroy a
system in which it functions. That is an abomination. There
are several things in scriptures that are called abominations.
We're going to read about one of them in a minute. But to name
these would not be so productive at this time, to bring out before
the saints certain words and things that we hear just willy-nilly
used in our culture today. We'll not mention those, but
we'll say it's all types of physical impurity and idolatry. physical
impurity, and idolatry. So you know what in your mind
what those things are, and in terms of those things, these
are declared in the Word of God to be abominations. Why? Because
they destroy. They're first and foremost an
affront and an attack against the very principle of truth that
God is. We discovered in our first lesson
that God is truth. He does not embody truth. He
is it. And this is first and foremost,
these things are attacks against God. That's why he declares them
as being an abomination. So today, focusing deeper, we're
going to study what I think is one of the most misunderstood
aspects of all human activity. We'll examine this as what I
believe is a core of all human understanding about civil order
and why it can unravel. We're going to examine the subject
of weights and measures. Y'all thought I was going to
say something really deep. But we're going to study the
subject of weights and measures and why that is so fundamental.
and money, which I'm sure younger folks will be interested in.
They weren't interested when I was reading about the gold
and the sapphires and the diamonds and the rubies. That should have
been fairly interesting. The earth abundantly produces
valuable things. But we're going to focus particularly
with the blessings of honesty in the exchange of goods and
services and how this can bless society, a society immeasurably,
or how it can bring a society to destruction. So turning to
Proverbs 1611, if you want to, I have them printed here so I
don't have to use any time turning. Proverbs 1611 says, Adjust weight
and a balance for the Lords. And the word capital L-O-R-D
makes claim to something. You can be sure that that's peculiar.
He has made plain to us, and we are peculiar. All the weights
of the bag are His work. We should remember that God worked,
or God spoke into everything, into creation. Here's something
that He spoke, and these are My work, God says. These are
My work. This is my truth. And then Proverbs 20 verse 10
says, diverse or divers or varying or irregular weights and irregular
measures, both of them are alike an abomination to the Lord. Now,
there's that word we discussed earlier, abomination. Pay particular
attention to this, saints, because God is saying, varying weights
and varying measures, or unjust, or anything you can think about
something, instead of being exact, random, that this is an abomination. And we already declared an abomination,
declared by God, as something that can destroy not just the
person who commits, but an entire society. And we'll examine that
a little bit more. So in examination of this text,
reveals that the heart of it, the cheating and deception in
the exchange of materials. Every day, when you get up in
the morning, go to work, go to school, or whatever you do, you
live in a world of measured things. You measure your time. Ten minutes
before I leave. Hurry up, I've only got five
minutes. We're measuring things all the time. Raw materials exchange
hands. I'm probably maybe more familiar,
maybe not so, with others who have worked in industry for 35
years or so now and have seen a lot of raw materials exchange
hands. Raw materials, iron ore, hundreds
of thousands of tons, millions of tons. And this stuff is heavy
and there's a lot of it. It takes a lot of energy and
power and calculations to move these things. Scrap, iron, ships,
trucks, markets are found everywhere. Every day you go to the market.
Or you go to the internet and go to the market. You're in a
market. You're in a market where things are exchanged and these
things are measured and understood before the exchange takes place.
So you may hop in your car, crank it up, the gas gauge, as mine
often does, goes over toward E, because I do not like to stop
at gas stations. Because when I stop there, they
extract from me dollars. It bothers me. But nonetheless,
I have to have it, right? So the gas is on E. So I have
to stop by the gas station, and I purchase a few measured gallons
of gasoline. Then you might drive to the supermarket
and purchase one measured gallon of orange juice, or one measured
gallon of milk, or a quart of this, or a pound of that, or
a dozen of these, a dozen eggs. Then you swipe a card for an
exact measured quantity of money. The common denominator of all
these things is inexpensive and abundant fuel and a system to
reconcile the exchange of them. This is an enormous thing to
understand, especially younger folks. I'm not sure I even understand
it all the time, but it does happen. But I have a good grasp
of it, at the very least, to understand how things work. And
things work in an ethical sense because we trust that when I
get a gallon of gasoline, I'm getting a gallon of gasoline. Or that I'm getting a quart of
milk, I'm getting a quart. Not two quarts, not half a quart,
I'm getting one quart of milk for a certain exchange of something. So we live in a world of measured
things. Now, let's just kind of put on
our imaginations, which we're all good at. Imagine that you
got up tomorrow morning, this was this morning, all the measured
stuff, and tomorrow morning you wake up to a world of arbitrary
measurement. Suppose you drove to the pump
for fuel in your chariot, and the price of the fuel, let's
just suppose the gauge was spinning for the price, and you won't
know how much you're going to get or what you're going to pay
for it until you get it done. It'd be kind of confusion, wouldn't
it? Okay, perhaps you get past that
with your sanity intact and then you arrive at the market with
three choice cuts of meat on the counter and a few bags of
apples. But you notice something strange
about the meat. They're all the same price, same
quality, but different sizes. Which one will you choose? Of
course, you'll get the biggest one, right? It's because Christians
like good deals. All people like good deals. Men
like the idea of getting something for nothing, don't they? We're
going to discuss that a little bit more, too, so don't laugh
yet. Okay, so each meat, they're different
in sizes, different price. Suppose they're
all the same quantity and three different prices. Which one would
you get? You'd get the cheapest one, right? Oh, and while you're
there, you pick up a dozen eggs, you forget to open the egg crate
and you get, you know, as you do, make sure none of them are
broken or anything like that. You get home, you open up and
there's one egg in there with a 12 printed on it. Think about that. One egg with
a 12 printed on it. Did you get what you thought
you were getting? What if tomorrow, Arbitrariness
and weights and measures became the order of the day. What if
we had to live in that flux, in that change, in that constant
not being able to comprehend or understand or function in
a society? We know what would reign. Confusion
would reign as all men began to try to undo whatever bad deal
they thought they got the day before. I've never talked to
anyone that went to a car dealer and came back and told me that
everybody always tells me they got a good deal on that car. I got a good deal. How do you know? People like good deals. But our
God, the God we serve, the God of this scripture, is a God of
order and exactness. A God that is perfect in every
way. This is quantifiable. And He,
in His blessing, gives us order and exactness. We like knowing
that the gravitational coefficients are all the same every day for
most places on the earth, that we can do some good calculations. We like the idea that a pound
of meat is a pound of meat. We know what that feels like
and looks like. To give you an example, the United
States never adapted the metric system. Even though it's probably
a superior system of measurement, we didn't adapt it because we
didn't have pictures in our mind what a kilogram looked like relative
to what a pound looked like. We had pictures of what those
things ought to be. And who knew ten apples instead
of a dozen? Right? Everything in those systems is
smaller, by the way. I've noticed that. And they cost
more. So we got better deals here.
So honest weights, honest measures are a basis for order in a peaceful
society. Contrary to this, the twin sins
of greed and covetousness, which is the inverse of all those good
things. It is the inverse of those things. It is an assault on the fabric
of creation, which Romans 8 tells us groans waiting for the redemption
of the children of God. So this is part of the blowing
of the created order, is these contrary things to the order
that are always warring against the order, both in terms of us
personally and in the outworking of men's greed and avarice and
every ugly thing, covetousness, that the Bible speaks against.
So we're going to say, I'm going to say, that deception and cheating
will unravel a nation. Disorder unravels a nation. And
history is replete with these things to which we will not have
time to go into. So God commands us to provide
all things honest in His sight and in the sight of men. In 2
Corinthians 8.21, provide all things honest. So that there's
a problem with unjust weights and measures. And there are three,
mainly three. Unjust weights and measures institutionalize
fraud. When they're arbitrary and when
men can cheat them, if I weigh a pound of meat over here and
I've changed the scale a little bit to where it's really not
a pound but it's 15.5 ounces, Every now and then I'm getting
only 15 ounces. I've only had to sell 15 ounces
for each pound sooner or later after you sell enough of it.
So it's cheating. It institutionalizes fraud. Another thing that unjust weights
and measures do is they inhibit the productive use of time. If
we're always trying to sit around and figure out with our calculator,
and we do a lot of that anyway, whether or not something is exact
or just because it could be different tomorrow than it is today, we
will not use our time and energy except to try to cover ourselves,
to keep ourselves from being cheated. So it makes us unproductive
in our time. And unjust weights and measures
short-circuit progress. Because there's no order, there's
no certainty, no predictability. And we all like predictability. You like the idea that tomorrow
morning, if you need to, one of you that have cars, I'm sure
you do, and probably like mine, sitting on E, you like the idea
of going to the gas station and you know that it'll be there.
That there will be a gallon for you to get. What if there wasn't? What would you do? Think of that, how the unjust
weights and measures impede progress. So, just weights and measures,
they inhibit fraud by providing visible boundaries that are hard
to disguise. Boundaries are hard to disguise.
Just weights and measures enhance our use of time, less time looking
out for deception. We can have confidence and trust.
Just weights and measures promote progress. That stability allows
us to use our time and our money with an eye more to the future,
rather than having to worry about whether these guys are cheating
me today. So, in full disclosure, as all
men do, I will disclose that I have an agenda. I'm going to
tell you what that agenda is. I want to present to you for
consideration and what God's Word said against it, what I
believe to be something, a sin, that is dismantling our nation
and this unjust weights and measures. And that it is at the very core
and the foundation of everything we do. God tells us that we must
expose error and injustice. And even says, you know, if we
refuse to do that, God may judge us. We may not be able to change
it, but we certainly can expose it. So he tells us to be wise as
serpents and harmless as doves in Matthew 10, 16. So let's be
wise in considering what I think. So another supposition, suppose
that tomorrow morning Let's make another supposition that we have
money in the bank and they're destroying interests. That's
the first supposition in this story. That the taxing authorities
were going to begin to take all the interest that you earn on
that money that you have in the bank. They're going to take it
all. You get to keep your principal. They're not going to take any
of that. We're only going to take what you earn on this money.
You're thinking, wow, that's nice. What would happen? There would be an uproar. And
we know that that would never get through the legislative process
in this nation or in most nations. Or, that they were going to increase
your taxes on your income 5% per year, every year, just because
we need it to cover Whatever you want to call it, the national
debt or whatever it is we're raising money for. 5% per year. Well, you can calculate. I know what I make and I know
what 5% is. Now, if I don't make at least
5% more next year than that and they take that 5%, I'm not gaining
any ground, but they're getting it for nothing. It seems kind
of unjust. So, none of these things would
get through. None of these things would happen. But I'm going to
tell you, brothers and sisters, it has happened already by what I believe to be deception
and fraud. Instead of taking interest directly
or instead of increasing taxes on your income or the things
you make or have or inherit, it has been taken by devaluation.
An increase, if you will, in the quantity of currency. Quantity. And I'm not sure how
familiar our young folks are with these ideas, so I wanted
to take just a minute, while I had the opportunity, in expounding
how God hates an abomination of injustice, how this happens. Historically, there's a term
called debasement. Debasement goes back as far as
you can think of when men got away from exchanging rocks and
beads and other things to kind of moving on toward a coin made
of some metal, usually not always. The wooden ones didn't last long,
but the metal ones did last a long time. As these things moved through
cultures, it would clip them. remove part of that value of
metal. Most of them were gold, silver, or copper. They would
remove a little bit, remelt it, add a little bit of dross, add
a little bit of impure metals, zinc, tin, things that are more
plentiful and not so hard, iron even, which is very plentiful. And so then put out the same
coin again, it had less gold and silver than it did before. So then, by metallurgical reasons,
by metallurgical methods, the quantity of the coinage was increased,
but the quality and value was decreased. Why is this bad? I'm glad you asked why this is
bad. Because it distorts value. It
gives an unjust weight and measure. You cannot, if you had, if I
had in my hand a 1960 U.S. quarter and a 1999 U.S. quarter, I could say to you these
look just alike. But I can tell you that 1960
quarter will still buy me a gallon of gasoline. But that 1999 quarter
will not buy me a gallon of gasoline. Why? The coin itself is not valuable
anymore, except the 1961 has held some level of value. So,
those that purport that method of wealth transfer, that tax
if you will, on your income by making the dollar that you have
left in the bank less valuable five years from now, have essentially
taken that interest that you would have gotten, they have
taken it from you in the form of it buys less than it used
to buy. That's the sin of our day. That
is the most pernicious and subtle and civilization-destroying thing
I can think of, because it attacks at the very heart of our weights
and measures and our ability to be able to value properly
a pound of meat, or a bushel of corn, or a gallon of gasoline. This is theft. It is systematic
fraud. And it leads to destruction of
a society long term, pushes interest rates towards zero. So not only
are you getting nothing for your money, you're losing purchasing
power. The scripture is consistent,
thou shalt not steal. We always end up there, don't
we? God's righteous commands, thou shalt not steal. But this
is a slow, quiet, silent theft. We now call it a different word,
quantitative easing, or recapitalizing the banks, or any of those, you
can call them all those things, and we all know what that is.
We're increasing the supply of money without a commensurate
increase in the goods and services that that money buys. Therefore,
The dollar cost of a new unit, an apple, will go up because
there are more dollars but not necessarily more apples. And the most heinous thing is
that the advantage of this passes the initial value before things
are discovered on to those who perpetuate the system. They get
the first advantage of it. Look, if I could wake up in the
morning and I had $10 there, and I could go over to my printer
and print off another one, and I could push that off, I could
go buy $20 worth of something before it was discovered. I have doubled the value of my
currency overnight. But whoever took that, one that
I printed up, that is not so valuable, six, seven months down
the road, somebody discovers that, all of a sudden he's lost
all the value of that. Now that's a little bit, maybe
a childish and simplistic way of, but that is exactly what
happens. So brethren, I would say, and
sisters, God-fearing people, that most of the ills of our
day can be placed at the feet of an unjust, a foolish weight
and measure of our monetary system. A nation that forgets God, ignores
his laws, will join all the past civilization on the craggy shores
on which they dashed themselves, and the judgment of God will
fall upon them, as in Proverbs 8.36 where he says, All they
that hate me love death. Honesty in weights and measures
is the core of order. And there's still enough of it
left in our day to where we enjoy much peace and tranquility, much
order, much stability. But it could unravel. Every war
and the worst sinful actions of men can be laid at the feet
of this one mechanism. The love of money and the lust
of power that it engenders. God promises good to the just
and to the honest. Deuteronomy 25, 15. But thou
shalt have a perfect and just weight. A perfect and just measure
shalt thou have, that thy days may be lengthened in the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Now, there's one other
Scripture, if you know, that promises length of days. Obeying
your mother and father. Honoring your mother and father.
There's another, there's two of them now, isn't there? Having
just weights and measures. For me, brethren, this was a
difficult area of study because, you know, in churches in our
day, when you say things like I've said, you're going to get
labeled a kook, and maybe I am. I don't know. I don't think I
am. It's hard to sometimes speak
out against the very fabric that you were born and raised in,
you know, what you are, an American or a German or an Italian or
whatever you are. It's hard to speak out against
those things. The facts are stubborn things. I'm amazed that we have evolved
from gold and silver coins to paper. And even beyond that,
we have evolved to individual ones and zeros on some electronic
ledger sheet. Who knows where? Where does electronic
money go when you spend it? We have to ask ourselves these
things because we are headed for a catastrophe. God has particularly good promises
for us to consider, and these will comfort us. I do not want
to leave this comfort with God's people. For God transcends and
is above all these things, every one of them. God is above them.
We all want a bargain, and it's part of our nature. I'm going
to tell you where you can get the ultimate bargain. In Isaiah,
chapter 55, verse 1, it says, Ho, everyone that thirsteth,
come ye to the waters. And he that hath no money, come
ye, buy and eat. Yea, come buy wine and milk without
money and without price. The bargain of the century, the
bargain of the ages, The mystery of the age is that we can have
those free. The blood of Jesus Christ in
its ultimate, absolute preciousness. Free salvation and pardon from
sin. Deliverance from evil. God deliver
us from evil in the Lord's Prayer. And next week we'll be moving
into looking at deliverance from evil and the prayers of God's
people. Let's pray. Father, we're thankful
for Your great mercies. They are new every day. We are
glad for them. We are glad, God, that You gave
us Your Word that gives us wisdom that is a light unto our path
and a lamp unto our feet, that we can see where we're walking,
and that we can hide ourselves from evil when it comes, and
that, Father, You even whisper to us things that are spoken
by wicked men in darkness that we might avoid them. O God have
mercy upon us, in Jesus' name, Amen. have no perceptions and no legs.
And there are forces in our government that are not above doing anything
to further their own agenda. And I think we're really seeing
the fruit of that in these days. Thank you. I'm not just kidding. I'm not just kidding. It's not in that way. It's not in that way. It's not in that way. It's not in that way. OK. I'm also not. I'm doing my own
thing. I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing my own thing.
I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing
my own thing. I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing my own thing. together. No, not right now. Not right
now. Not right now. I'm going to ask you a question.
I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. And now for the last game of
the resolution of this part. The entire solution of this part is in the form of this. This is a game
that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game
that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game
that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game
that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game
that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game
that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a game
that I've been playing since I was a kid. It's a I've got a question for you. Before you go, do you
ever see anything that looks similar to this? Do you ever
see anything that looks similar to this? I've got a question for
you. Before you go, do you ever see anything that looks similar
to this? I've got a question for you. Before you go, do you ever see anything
that looks similar to this? I've got a question for you.
Before you go, do you ever see anything that looks similar to this? So it's just a matter of different
