this week. Churches are starving for godly men. And I meant to say this last night, but there's so much on my mind and in my heart and spirit last night I forgot. But when we came out from Back Yonder Prayin' and the choir was singing, normally all you hear singing is a bunch of women. But all I could hear was the men singing. And I say, praise God. We about to outnumber y'all. At least our mouths are getting louder. But in the right direction. Hallelujah. One of the youth, huh? That's right, hallelujah. Not gamers. You want to do it alone? Or you want to do it with a group of them? Okay, come on, you do it by yourself. You know, I asked her the other night, I believe it was the night that God kicked this revival off. We was down at Riverside, and I said, can I testify for you? Because she don't want to really say much. Tell us something. I can't testify for you. Nobody else can testify for you. Her brother's been here a couple of nights. Dick ain't always been great in her life and her brother and her sister's life. strength you braced against last night. And a brother, too, but he came for a Bible of my Bible still. I didn't know it until I got home. But, you know, if anybody was to look for a reason not to serve the Lord, not to be in the house of God, not even to be subjected to their parents, these young ones could find a reason. I'm He counts the stars one and all He knows how much sand is on the shores He sees every sparrow that falls He made the mountains and the seas He's in control of everything Of all creatures great and small Every step that I take, every move that I make. I don't know what tomorrow will bring. I can't tell you what's in store. I don't know a lot of things. I don't have all the answers to the questions of life. He knows my name Every step that I take Every move that I make Every tear that I've cried He knows my name Every step that I take Every move that I make Every tear that I've cried He knows my name When I'm overwhelmed by the pain He knows my name You know, that's something I just love to think about. I don't understand how we became used car salesmen as Christians. They already did everything we could ever ask for. I don't know how we could ask for anything else. If he never does one more thing for you, he'd give you salvation. Amen. How many people in here tonight know that healing isn't for this side? It's a hard pill to swallow sometimes, isn't it? That's right. Oh, mercy. I'm sure glad he knows my name. Amen. I tell you, she done that song of beautiful justice. I don't know if she knows that or not. Amen. I tell you what, without further ado, he's your pastor at Daniel Town. He's my friend, and I'm proud to call him that. Creighton loves us. Amen. Thank you, Brother Jordan. Amen. Beloved, if you got your sword tonight, I encourage you to turn to Hebrews chapter 7. Hebrews chapter 7. You might be saying, what in the world is he doing wearing that white coat? Well, you're fixing to find out. I'm glad you asked that question. You see, sometimes inside the sacred desk up here, I got all kinds of little things up in here. Because I like to try to meet people with visuals. I run back over there and I get hit by the spirit a certain way. I might come out looking like a monk or something like that. But, yeah, thank you, dear. But it's always got a reason behind it somewhere. Because I found out, God, a long time ago that our young'uns, they look at pictures, they look at stuff on the screen, they look at visuals, they look at picture books, all kinds of stuff. And I've just, I've always been a visual person myself. And so that's just the way I am. There ain't no other Creighton Lee lovers. And I'll tell you that right now. If you go Google my name, you'll find me on the internet out there. And I'm the only one. So if it's good or bad, it's me. That's the only one. That's the only one there is. I sure do. Lord have mercy. You talk about memory road, that brings back a lot of memories. As a matter of fact, I had one fellow message me yesterday, and he said, brother, I want to thank you for putting that sign up. I said, well, bless your heart. I said, what about it? He said, you had guts to stand and tell the truth. You say, what was that? I said, the Koran needs to be flushed. You know why? Because that book is sending 2 point something billion Muslims straight into a pit called hell. They say they believe in Jesus, but I'm going to tell you right now, it ain't my Jesus. Their Jesus is, he's just a prophet. Whenever MSNBC down out of Greenville, they sent that limo up here to bring me down there so I could be interviewed by Keith Olbermann about that whole deal back in 05. I'd just been pastor here for one year. The driver was a Muslim. The director of the Sandy Run Baptist Association, he was here visiting with me. And I said, boy, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind? And I said, no, sir. I think I'm right in my mind, matter of fact. The man pulled up, he says, hello, I'm here to take you to the studio. Guy looked at him, he said, you can't get in the car with him. I said, why not? Because he's one of them. I said, what's he going to do, scare me with home? You talking about he's going to blow the car up or something like that and kill me? I said, what's he going to do, scare me with home? He said, you're crazy. I said, that ain't never stopped me before. I'll see you when I get back. And I tell you right now, folks, by the time we was driving back, his name was Imam, and I prayed for him every day since. I told him, I said, if you're in my neck of the woods the next time, and I told him my address, I said, you come down that road right yonder, and you come by and you kick off your shoes and you set a spell, and we'll eat a meal together. And he said, well, they say you're a bad man. He said, I talk to you, you're a good man, but you not change me, I not change you. I said, well, I'm gonna try to, because I'm gonna tell you right now that Jesus, he's more than a prophet, he's the son of God. And I said, I hope you'll come to know him as the son of God. He said, well, you have a good night. I said, I know I'm gonna have a good night. I want you to have a good life. But I said, I hope one day, Imam, you'll come back and see me, but I ain't seen him ever since. But I pray the one true living God will reach him, I hope. I hope. Just like tonight, if you got issues, you got problems in your life, I hope tonight that you'll come to the altar. Remember, just like we've talked all this week, Brother Kevin, Brother Jordan, all of us, the altar's open at any moment. Folks, I wanna touch on something tonight. I think, myself, I think it's something we need to heed a lot of times, given the fact that we're living in the 21st century. Now, some of you can remember a few years back. Some of you might remember, wow, I remember back in the 60s, or I remember back in the 50s. My dad, he was born in 51. When he was born, there were still Confederate soldiers alive. that fought in the great war between the state. Back in the 90s, when I was a kid, there was still men that had fought in the Spanish-American War in 1898. There was still some of them old codgers still kicking around, believe it or not. Wow, they had been around history and didn't even know it. But you know, with every generation, that younger crowd, they get up and a lot of time they say, you know what, you're just an old dinosaur. You're just out of step with the times. You're just an old fuddy-duddy. You know, you got to get with the hip music. You got to get with the style, daddy-o, you know. You got to get groovy. You got to get jiggy with it. You got to get all that. And they say, your way ain't working because there ain't no kids, there ain't no this, there ain't no that, and you just gotta get in lockstep with the times. But they say, oh, you're just an old dinosaur, that's all there is. Well, I'm gonna tell you tonight, there's still dinosaurs out there. If you got your Bible, I want you to look in Hebrews chapter seven and look at verse 12. Look at verse 12 tonight. If you got your place there, please be so kind as to say amen. That sounds good tonight. Now look, right here in verse 12, the writer, now, I'm gonna stand kinda halfway here, because I can't be 100% on this thing. I know great men of God that say one way, and I know other men of God that say the other way, but I kind of lean that I think Paul the Apostle wrote this book. But I might be wrong, I don't know, but I know this, God is the author of this book, regardless of who the writer is. Him might have been Apollos, him might have been Timothy. I know it was a fellow that was anointed by God and inspired by God because it's inside this here Bible. But that word God says, for the priesthood being chained, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Lord, a gracious, holy, and heavenly Father tonight, Lord, we come humbly asking your help tonight. Lord, if it's just me up here, Lord, I ain't gonna do no good job at it. I'll mess it up. I'll get in the way. I'll get in your way. Father, that's the last thing I want. Lord, I ask tonight you'll allow me to decrease and you'll increase, Father, in everything said and done. Lord God, I thank you for the anointed song tonight, Lord. Father, I thank you for the anointed word of God, Father, the bits and pieces we've already heard. Father, the testifying already. Oh, Lord, Father, we know you're walking in our midst tonight. And so, Father, Lord, I pray your cracked hearts open, minds open. Father, that you'll speak to us, Lord, now. Lord, that we hear your children come, begging, pleading, praying for revival. So, Father, have your will and your way be done tonight. Lord, we ask in the precious name that is above all others, in the name of Jesus, our Lord and our Savior, amen. Amen. And our text right here, let me give you a little bit of context first before we get down into this. Inside of this, the writer is talking about how Christ fulfilled the Mosaic Law. Or the old law. It's now a form of spirituality that is no longer in force. That the law here is a dinosaur. It just needs to be set aside. But let us not think that it does not show God's standard in many ways. The context there, it shows us many faces what sin is. If you were to go through the entire Bible cover to cover and try to figure out what sin is, well, several years ago we put together the Bible boot camp handbook. And I went through and I consulted other authorities and other different things inside of the Word of God and there was about 667 different sins listed inside the entire context cover to cover of the Bible. Now of course some of these we can't do because we're not Jews and there's no temple over there and things of that nature. We understand that. That's a lot of things. And you know what really gets me, beloved? You preachers will understand this, that back in the law, back under the old law, the thing was that the men, the men folk, they had to assemble three times a year and hear Genesis and then Exodus and Leviticus and Numbers and Deuteronomy read so they could hear the law. And inside of that, And there were 613 commandments. You think God said, oh, I want you to follow the 10. No, there's more than 10. There were 613 commandments the Jews were expected to obey. And if they had a mind like I have, I'll forget it by the time I'm halfway through reading it. I can't even hardly remember what I had for breakfast, Brother John. Let alone when I had to suffer last night. I mean, if my head wasn't screwed on, I might even forget my own name. And I think I might have done that a time or two. It is Creighton Lee Leavitt. I know that, because there's only one. But here's what we find. That a second time a year, the menfolk came back. And the third time of the year, the menfolk came back. And that's how. Guys, they didn't have their own copy of it. They tore it around and said, wait a minute, I got to consult the law and see. Oh, nope, I can't do that. And the only way you could go to the tabernacle and later to the temple to get forgiveness was if you accidentally broke one of the laws. It had to be what we theologically call a sin of omission. But if you intentionally broke the law knowingly, this is where a lot of people get hung up and they don't get it right, where the writer in Hebrews said that there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin. He's not saying if you sin after you're saved, you've lost your salvation. I don't see how them people get that meaning out of the Word of God. Because let me tell you something, the blood of Jesus Christ is greater and more powerful and more precious than the blood of a bull, the blood of a lamb, the blood of a goat. Because it cleanses us from our sin. All the blood of them animals dead was swept under the rug. But if you sinned and you knew it and you went up to get forgiveness of it, oh, there ain't no sacrifice left for you. You got to wait until the day of atonement. And then, if you're still kicking and God ain't done took you out, then you'd get forgiven. So the writer of Hebrews is telling the audience By the way, ladies, you can tell your hubbies to get up in the morning now and make your coffee, cause he brews, you know. So it's telling us here that everything in the law has been fulfilled, everything's good, everything's hunky-dory because Jesus done fulfilled it all. But there were people out there saying, No, you just got to get with the times. You just got to get with it, man. Because he said, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. That's what this whole passage here is talking about. But I'm going to do something tonight. I'm going to shake off the context. Some preachers won't tell you that. They won't warn you about that. That's where some people then begin to get their wires crossed. I'm going to apply this. We're going to run with that tonight. A lot of folks think today that there's some dinosaurs that are obsolete and outdated and really ought to, of necessity, be changed and updated. But before I get to that, I want to throw you something else out here. I've seen some of the young'uns out there this week. They've had some of these little guys. Any of my young'uns out there, you got your dinosaurs tonight? Any of you? That's all right, I got two up here I can utilize. Now these two right here, these are my little buddies, because I'm gonna tell you something. These guys are in the Bible. If you go over to the book of Job, you'll look in there, and you'll look over in chapter 40, and that's where God tells Job right around verse 15, to behold a behemoth that I made with you. And they said that his tail is like a cedar tree. And I've read in some study bibles, Pastor Kevin, that they say it's an ox or a rhino. I'm gonna tell you right now, if you just go Google an ox or a rhino and look at his tail, that's the most pitifulest little looking thing. I mean, it's, hang on. Let me see here. There we go. It's kind of like something that looks kind of like that, you know. This is David's slingshot, by the way, you know. I ain't got no marshmallows or nothing in there to put in there, but no. It looks like it's a little old wimpy, little old weak looking thing. But this brontosaurus brachiosaurus had a massive tail. That was like a big old tree. But see, well, hold on, I'm getting there. You go over to the next chapter in Job 41, he's gonna talk about Leviathan. You read about Leviathan, he likes to be in the water, stuff like that. And this one that he talks about actually breathes fire. And the more I read about Leviathan, the more I think he's talking about one of these guys. That's the plesiosaurus. Now, over in Scotland, Over there in the land over the Scottish brogue and the castles, lad and lassie, I tell you what, there is a loch. And you might over here in the States call it a lake. But we over there in Scotland, no, we call it a loch. And over there in Scotland, there is a crater that we call Nessie. And Nessie is what some of you call the Loch Ness Monster. That's what we call it. And a lot of people think that it's one of these here guys. But if you go up north where the Great Lakes are, Lake Champlain, them Yankees up there, they talk about there's a critter that kind of looks like the Loch Ness Monster that they call Champ. There's people out there that say they've seen some of these things. There was a missionary that was over in the Congo, over in Africa, and he had a little book about dinosaurs, teaching his youngins, because he was homeschooling them. And they were talking about these critters, and he turned to the page that had the brontosaurus on it, and all of a sudden the natives came up, and they saw that, and they started saying, Mokele-o-mimbe, Mokele-o-mimbe, and he said, wait a minute, I didn't learn that word back in seminary and over in missionary school, what in the devil is that? And they said, I hear what you're saying, it don't compute. Tell me, what does it mean? They said, that's the thing that lives in the jungle. He said, wait a minute, you're telling me this lives in the jungle? They said, yeah, it comes out at night and it likes to eat things. It's eating some of our people and our tribe. They've tried to go out and find it several years later, and the only thing they could get was an audio recording of it. But you see, these people in the white lab coats, you know, they come out with their Coke bottle glasses, and they know more than you because they have a high forehead, you know. You know, of course, we got a lot of degrees behind our name and stuff of that nature because you're just a bunch of old redneck southerners and you don't know anything. Yes, yes. You believe the Bible and we believe the science textbook. Bless your heart. You know, that's what they believe. They believe that birds came from dinosaurs. That's what this thing is. This is for like a kindergartener. This is for like a first grader. First thing, right on page one, it says, millions of years ago, when gigantic dinosaurs roamed the land, there lived a strange creature called Archaeopteryx. This creature was an ancestor of today's birds. Or the youngins did this. I can read about fossils. Wow. I can read about millions and millions of years ago. These young'uns can't even count past 50. They can't even probably count past 25. Now if yours can, praise the Lord, you got a smart one. But let me tell you something. They're given these little books when they're in kindergarten. They're given these little books in the first grade telling about millions and millions of years ago. And then it goes over here. There are no dinosaurs on earth living today. No man has ever seen, no one has ever seen a dinosaur. Did they ask Joe that? Did they ask Adam and Eve that? Because you know the Bible says that God made all the land animals and all the sea animals on the fifth and on the sixth day, on the fifth and on the sixth day, on the fifth and on the sixth day, not millions of years before man ever walked the earth. Do you know that Carl Baugh down in Texas, they found footprints of dinosaurs and they found man footprints inside of those dinosaur footprints. Let me tell you something folks, I am sick and tired and I've had it up to here and I'm not even that tall. of the devil stealing God's creation away from God and saying something that God never said to begin with. I'm sick and tired of Christians, of so-called Bible believers, of so-called church folk believing men dressed up in white lab coats rather than trusting some of the men of God preaching the inherent, incalibrate word of the living God. I'm sick and tired of our children being lied to out of junk like this that ought to be fit for the burn barrel. And then we wonder, why don't they believe us? Why don't they stick with the church? It's because from knee-high to a grasshopper, all the way through the public propaganda, I mean public school system, they're being taught all this junk and all these lies and all this crap that goes against the very living word of the living God. If you get your child in church on Sunday morning, on Sunday night, on Wednesday night, every single service, every single service, you might have them in church for about 300 hours a year. Might. You know, except when there's a baseball game. Amen. Except when there's a bowling game. Amen. Except when there's a dance recital. Except when they got volleyball and swimming practice and tracked me and Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. I'm sorry, it ain't Boy Scouts no more, it's Scouts. I'm gonna go ahead and tell you something right now. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm gonna come back to that so you'll remember it by the time you get out of here, I promise you. When we get our young and so busy and so active and everything, oh, church, oh, sorry about that. We can't make church now. We got this, we got this, we got that. Guess what? I've had things in my schedule. You ask my wife. Almost every single night of the week, almost every single night, I got something going on that I gotta do, that I'm here and I'm there, involved inside the community doing all these different things. Amen. I mean, the kids up at Trinity are going to have a formal. It's kind of like a dance thing. And my responsibility is to be there from 5 o'clock to 9 o'clock. I told my head of school, I said, I can't be there. He said, why not, Dr. Loveless? I said, because we're having revival this week. I need to switch with somebody. It didn't work there, it didn't work over here, but then, bless God, it worked over here. So guess what? When we get done, I'm heading up to the meeting place up yonder right after we get done tomorrow, and I'm gonna be cleanup crew, and I'm gonna have to bring all the speakers back, because you know why? My priority is God and God's power. I had an opportunity to go down and see something and see some friends of mine down in Georgia. They were going to have a special meeting down there and I really, really wanted to go. I knew about this a month ago, but then guess what? Revival come. And I said, brother, I'm not going to be able to make it. Why not, brother? I said, because I got revival to be at. Oh, you preaching? I said, no, I'm amening. No, I'm listening. No, I'm getting fed the word of God. No, I'm getting my soul stirred up in the fire of God. He said, oh, well, that comes first anyway. I said, absolutely. So, I want you to understand, Noah took some of these critters on board that ark. And some of these dinosaurs survived the flood. And you say, how do you know? Because you got the record of world history. Except here's the thing, for most of history, they didn't call them dinosaurs. Because that word didn't come out until the 1820s, 1830s, and 1840s. Your Bible, my Bible, if it's an old King James, it better be an old King James. It came out in 1611. You know what they called them? Dragons. You mean to tell me you believe in dragons? I sure do. How in the world could they draw these things down to South America if nobody had ever seen one? Why did Marco Polo describe this when he went to visit Kublai Khan and said that the emperor raised dragons? I reckon it's because, Brother Jordan, he raised dragons to pull a chariot. We just happen to call them in the 21st century, dinosaurs. But, but, you tell a youngin that there's still dinosaurs around. Well, I don't believe that, you're wrong. It ain't wrong because the Bible tells us so. They're here. The problem is, guys, who are you willing to believe? I want to tell you right now, there has never been a million years if you believe the literal truth of the Word of God. Because this universe, this earth, everything that we see is about 6,000 years old. I'm not going to open that box tonight because we'll be here probably until about 11 o'clock. But I can answer your questions, I can answer this because I've studied it out, because I believe the record of the word of God. See guys, here's the thing. We cannot only believe it about Jesus. We have to believe it from Genesis to Revelation. And that word of God declares right there that this is only about 6,000 years old. You say, preacher, it's millions and billions of years old. No, it ain't. Not according to that. Not according to this. Hang on. Hold on. I hear you Lord. Just a second. Inside of 1 Corinthians chapter 15, the Bible informs us very clearly in verse 39. All flesh listen to me. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. Dinosaurs were beasts. Birds are birds. Archaeopteryx is not an ancestor of the bird. You know why? It ain't because Preacher Craig said so. It's because the Bible said so. All flesh is not the same flesh. You know what? My ancestor, I traced my family tree back to my 141st great-grandpa and grandma. You say, you what? I have. I'm not lying, you guys. I'll take you down to my house. I'll show you every one of them. I traced my family tree back to Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve are my 141st great-grandpa and grandma. I'm gonna give you a clue about something here. Even if you can't, you are also kin to them, because the Bible says, as in Adam, all die, whether you're black, whether you're white, whether you're red, whether you're yellow, whether you're brown. Every one of us is kin, and guess what, folks? The black man is your cousin down the road. The yellow man is your cousin down the road. The Indian red man is your cousin down the road. Why? Because every cotton picking one of us in this entire world is related to Adam and Eve. You know that thing called Q&A I talked about? I had a question, Pastor Kevin. Years ago, a woman said, preacher, where'd the black man come from? I said, all right, that's a great question. I figure he'd come from the hand of God, honey, but let me dig on that. And so I dug on it, and I dug a little bit more, and I dug a little bit more, and this is what I believe the Lord showed us. Adam and Eve were red skinned. And Acts 17 tells us that out of one blood God hath made all nations of men to dwell upon the face of the earth. So where did the nations begin? Genesis chapter 10. Where did they begin with? Ham, Shem, and Japheth. By the way, this is not in my notes, no extra charge. What happens is, is that when you look at Adam, these people out there, well, where did Cain marry his wife from, hmm? He married a monkey? No. You see, honey child, you gotta go to Genesis chapter 5. Cause it says, Adam and Eve, Adam begat sons and daughters. Well, I didn't know that. Well, honey child, you stopped reading when you got to Genesis chapter 4. And you heard about Cain marrying his wife. Oh, where did his wife come from? You gotta keep reading. But no, what people rather do, let me go on Facebook and I'll find out from some theologian on there. And they're gonna tell you that the black people are cursed or this or that, whatnot, and a third, a bunch of junk. But once you get inside the word of God, well, you'll find out the truth. All these names back in the Old Testament have a meaning. But every one of these boys from Adam all the way down to Lament, every one of them had sons and daughters, every one of them. But when you get to Noah, Noah had three boys. No more, no less, no daughters, just three. Why? Because God had a plan after the flood. So, when Mrs. Noah, and by the way, her name was not Joan of Arc. Different arc, different woman. But when you look at Noah, he had three sons. The eldest was Japheth, guess what? His name means light, fair, or white. Shem, his name means the name, or olive, or dusty. And him, his name means dark, burnt, hot, or black. So a red man and a red woman had a white boy, a brown boy, and a black boy, and all three of them were brothers. And after the flood, God told them to spread out. And guess what? Japheth and his youngins, they went up north and they wound up in Greece, and in Italy, and in Europe, and that's where most of our ancestors come from. You know, down here we got the Scotch Irish, and up north you kind of have the English from the Wales and things of that nature. Hip, hip, cheerio, God save the king, and all of that. And all the bloodshed and all the fighting and all that back in American history between the Southerners and the Yankees, all it is is the English and the Scots and the Irish still at each other's throat. You think this is something new? God, this has been going on for years. I'm going to throw you out another little nugget right here. Whenever God, through Noah, blessed Japheth, he said, Japheth will enlarge his borders and dwell in the tents of Shem. Guess what? When the white man came over here, he settled this land. Who was living here? The Indians, right? Can I get an amen on that history? That's right. Well, guess what? The Indians, they came over the land bridge after the flood, and they are descended from Shem. And we literally came and dwelled in their tents, their living areas, their land. We took them away. That's prophesied. That's what happened. And so it is, God's Shem, His people, they went up over here toward the Holy Land later, what we'd call it, and then they went up into Asia, and that's where the Japanese and the Chinese and the Orientals and the real Indians and all of these other Orientals, the Mongols and all that, they come out of that. Eventually the Jews are going to come out of that and all of that. And then all him, his guys, they went down south toward Egypt, down into Libya, down into Ethiopia. And so that's where you see these, quote, races of the human race, that's where they settled. Your Bible done said all that years and years ago. I didn't know you was gonna get that lesson, so take it and chew on it for what you want to. But I'll tell you who come up with racism, the devil came up with it to divide us from each other, to stop us from working together. from loving each other to say that, oh, I'm better than you because I'm a certain race or skin color. That's a bunch of hooey and that's a bunch of bum. I want to tell you one thing. If you want to talk about a race being elevated, I'll tell you exactly who it was. It was the Jews. You know why? Because God said, I'm going to make you a people to myself, and I will elevate you above all others. Why? So that they can see how to live, how to worship, how to serve me, how to come to me. But the Jews blew it. And now, God has been calling out another people to use as an example, and it's called the church! Of red people, and white people, and brown people, and yellow people, and all people all across the world! Of Jews and of Gentiles, of Americans, of Southerners and Northerners, and Chinese and Japanese, and Germans and Mexicans, and all around the world! God loves the little children of the world! Now, I'm going to hurry with this, but I'm going to tell you. All these people going all around the world, they encountered these beasts, and they drew what they saw, and nowadays we look at what they drew, and they plumb all look like dinosaurs. So when you hear me or somebody else say there's still dinosaurs out there, it's true. If you believe what the Bible says, it'll be easy to believe. But if you believe it's junk about evolution, I mean, saying that the one-celled amoeba and all that, well, let me tell you what they really, really quickly believed. They believed that it was dirt and rocks down here, and it rained for about a million years. And then it turned that into a soup. And then something happened to the soup, and then there was that single-celled amoeba, and then it turned into, you know, a frog, and then it turned into a cat, and then it turned into a monkey, and then it turned into a man. Last time I read about a frog turning into a man, it was a fairy tale. These knuckle brains dressed in these white lab coats call it science. Ain't no science. That's a fairy tale. My ancestor was a human being, not a monkey. Same as yours. But see, if we believe that because we believe the Bible, we're a bunch of dinosaurs. I'm going to tell you tonight, beloved, God being my helper, there's still some dinosaurs out there. You see, dinosaurs, number one, believe the Word of God. Oh, but you get these liberals out here, well, that's just a bunch of writings of men. I say, what do you believe in? Oh, we believe in the science book. Yeah, that's just the writing of a bunch of men. And by the way, your shelf life for your scientific theory change about every seven years. You know, they're ready to throw away the Big Bang Theory. But I didn't tell you about that, Jordan. I believe in the Big Bang Theory. I believe that God spoke and bang, there it was. Amen! That's what this Bible says. Oh, don't give me my little box open. Oh, I can give you something. Like that thing right there? Look up polonium halos. You want some science that you own? If that's your forte and that's your little cup of tea, look up polonium halos. When you find that out, that the scientists found out in the 60s, they fired him because he said that rock didn't form over millions of years. It popped up immediately over a few seconds. They said, that's impossible. And he said, no, from what I'm seeing, from what I was raised as, that rock was made by God. They said, you can't talk about that because that's not scientific. Bless their heart. You see, that's how the enemy's trying to paint this whole thing. And there's a war between science and faith, between science and religion, science and the Bible. Guys, there ain't. The problem is, we've been lied to, and we've had the world pulled over our eyes, and it's out of this public school system thing, and we have allowed these people to teach our children, and we've just sat back at ease inside and said, well, they'll be all right. Everything will be hunky-dory. And then, Then we take them to church, maybe not even 300 hours a year, right? But if they're inside the school every cotton picking day they can be, they're gonna get the school education about 1,100 hours a year. Then you tell me what they're gonna believe when they sit inside of the church house. Or when they read sick little books like that, or when they see it on TV in their little cartoons. You know, like, what's that one Despicable Me? They got, what, four or five or twelve of them out now? And one of them is about the Minions, you know, the little yowler things that's got one eye or two eyes or whatever. I mean, they said I had four eyes. I wear contacts, folks. You know, it don't bother me none. And so it is that the very first scene out of that film of the Minion, it shows evolution. And all our little kids just sit there and they just watch it. God's just having an effect upon our children all these years. I praise God I am a survivor of the public school system. My mom and daddy kept me near the word of God. They kept us in church for a little while, then we got out, then we got back in. But I thank God I held to the Bible and to the word of God rather than some of the junk in the bunk that was being shoved down my throat when I was in science class, biology class, and earth science class because I was told this is the truth, the word of God. So folks, there's a lot of people that say, we can't understand that old King James Bible, you gotta get a new Bible. You gotta get a ESV, you gotta get a NIV, you gotta get a RSV or whatever other V they're talking about. The only V I know of is victory in Jesus. I have, listen, I have a King James Bible. I do not have a King James version. I have a King James Bible. I don't have a book that contains the word of God. I have the word of God in my hand. But oh, you're a dinosaur if you believe that. That's all right, because there's still dinosaurs out there. But then you get to preaching and a ranting and a raving and a hollering and a hooping like I'm doing. Okay, and others are doing. That's too loud. That's too scary for my children. Let's start, they need a little bit of preaching. Now don't get me wrong, they need teaching as well. Ephesians chapter four tells us God gave some, it lists all the communication gift. It says pastors and teachers. Pastors and teachers is a pastor teacher. It is one office, not two. So if he's a pastor, he's gonna preach. And if he's a pastor, he's gonna teach. But listen, the styles are different. Kevin's got a style. Jordan has a style. Josh has a style. I have a style. Other men of God had a style about him. And I can remember back when I was just a young preacher, These preachers I would listen to, I would suddenly find myself kind of copying them. And God got me aside by the scruff of the neck one day and he sat me down in my office and he said, I have not called you to be brother so and so. I haven't called you to be like blah, blah over there. I've called you to be cretinly loveless and you preach like cretinly loveless does. And so that's what I've done. It's for some people, it's not for some people. Oh well, you just take what you can. Hey, chew up the meat, spit out the bones. But people say, you can't have this preaching, it'll drive that crowd away. It'll stomp all over their toes. And I say, well, he thinks he's gonna do that. Well, I got some news for him. I ain't coming back. Well, glory to God, guess what? There's a door, there's a door, there's a door. You might watch out when there's a cliff right over there. There ain't gonna be no skin off my nose. I didn't like what you had to preach about, preacher. What was your problem? Well, you were talking about divorcees. Well, bless your heart, it's all right. It's been there, done that. The Bible talks about it. Well, you were saying I need to tithe, and I don't agree with that. Well, you can be wrong if you want to, amen. Ain't gonna bother me now. There are 1,800,000 churches on every different corner in Ralford County. Take your pick, but bless God, you better be in the will of God. You get all huffy and puffy because the preacher didn't shake your hand or the preaching got all over your toes. Bless God, I'm not aiming for your toes. I'm aiming for your heart. People don't like preaching because it gets all over them, hits them over the head, and they get conviction for the Holy Ghost of God. A teacher, they'll go to sleep on, a teacher, they'll say, hmm, that's very philosophical. Let me mull that over a little bit, hmm. The Bible says in the last day they shall have itching ears heaping to themselves, teachers, not preachers, teachers having itching ears. I talked about John Loewstein one time, a woman got offended. Preacher, you better not talk about him. I love him. I said, well, I like some of his funny stories, but his preaching ain't worth a cup of warm spit in my book. Well, Preacher, you done offended me right there. I ain't gonna come back. That's all right. I love you too. Let me tell you something about Joel. I hope they get right with God, but here's the thing. He says, you're a best life now, Kevin. What? My best life ain't right now, because I still got to fight me, my flesh, the world, and the devil. There's a day coming when I'm going to have a perfect body. Ain't going to be no more of this junk. Ain't going to be no more sin. I'm going to be in the very presence of my Lord Jesus Christ, that's gonna be my best lie. Larry King asked Joel, do you have to believe in Jesus to go to heaven? Millions and millions and millions of people watching this on live television. That's right. He said, Larry, that's not for me to say. Why not, Joel? There's a Bible. No man cometh unto the Father but by me. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. It don't say tried out. It didn't say Buddha. It didn't say Mohammed. It didn't say the Pope. It didn't say even the Baptist preacher. It said Jesus Christ. That's all he had to have said. I know. That's right. So preaching, preachers. Oh, if you believe in that, you're a dinosaur. Praise God for the dinosaur. You expect me to dress up a little bit for the house of God? Why can't I come in a G-string? Because, because I need to be able to see what I'm doing. The Bible says for women to dress modestly. I do not see any immodestly dressed women tonight. And now some of us men, let me tell you something. You want to walk around and wear one of these little five hairs you got and poke out, huh? Come on. And then you want the bad moon to rise? I mean, that's why they made a belt. Well, God only said the women folk ought to dress moderately. No, we men folk need to set a standard before our own family, before our own sons, before the men inside of our community. Am I saying you need to dress in a suit and tie every time? No. But I am saying if Jesus looks at you, why don't you do like that 91-year-old member of Gangletown does, Miss Dorothy. Every time when she could come to church as a 91-year-old woman, she would stand in front of the mirror every Sunday morning and she would say, Jesus, are you pleased with what I'm wearing? And if she felt the peace of God, bless God, she'd come to church. That's all you gotta do. I am not pointing out anybody tonight. All I'm saying is if we're coming to the house of God, we're coming into the presence of God. If some of you knew that you were gonna meet a senator, a president, a vice president, a governor, there's people that would shower, they would shave, they would do up their makeup, they would do up their clothes, but you know what? You know what God told Moses? You know what he told Moses right before he came down on Mount Sinai? He told the children of Israel, wash your clothes. I've heard people say, preacher, it don't matter what I wear as long as I'm in the house of God. Let me tell you something, if that were the case, why did God tell his people to wash their clothes? Why did he tell the priest not to come with their calves exposed? Yeah, you see my cheer wearing socks. Amen, amen. Now you're all blind, God help you. If a priest went before the Lord like that, he'd be in a heap of trouble. Why? Because God set some standards. The trouble with a lot of us is we wanna dress like we want to fit in with whatever crowd we want. I wanna fit in with God's crowd. That's the crowd I want to fit in with. Well, if you believe in that, you're a dinosaur. Well, praise God, there's still some dinosaurs out there. That's right, honey child. Listen, son, if that girl's hanging everything out with her wares to show the world, and you get hitched up with her, you think she ain't gonna bear those wares out for all the world? My daddy said if you ain't selling, you might as well keep all the stuff locked up in the shop. And hey, if you wanna dress sexy, dress sexy for your hubby. Amen. That's a good preaching preacher, that's right. Keep the home fires burning. I don't think he understood that. Well, bless God, we only got a couple of nights left here, that's all right. What about singing? Nowadays, many times, oh, that's a battle and a war right there. Oh, it's Christian music as long as it's got Christian lyrics. You can't do Leonard Skinner. You can't go chasing the beat of the world. Let me tell you something, when you look up the devil, you know what the devil wants? The devil wants the choir director in heaven. Oh, you better believe that. Nowadays, now listen, listen, listen. Nowadays, a lot of times, you get some of these modern songs, it's like going to 7-Eleven. It's seven words, 11 times. But I don't know about you, but I would love to hear, then sings my soul, my savior God to thee. How great thou art, how great thou art. If you listen, listen, if you listen to a lot of modern songs, they're singing to each other in a third voice. Who are we singing to? We're singing to God. I didn't open up this about hymnology, guys. I'm telling you, you can't just take a tune because it sounds good and slap some Christian lyrics to it. You've got to remember the tune is a language in and of itself. There is a holy music unto God that historically has been inside of the church. The problem is a lot of people come in, and yes, a lot of young people, and say, that's just boring. That amazing grace just don't do it for me. We gotta spruce it up. We just gotta get the jive. We just gotta get the beat going. What are you trying to do, beloved? Entertain your flesh or stir your soul to worship the one true king? It's like Kevin and it's like Jordan have both intimated. We don't come in here to come for a pep rally. That's what a lot of times happens, God. They want to stir you up in the flesh and now you think, woo, just because I'm popping around, I'm worshiping God, amen, hallelujah, praise God. And now you're stirred up. No, you got your blood pressure elevated and you got your heart rate going, but there ain't no spirit in it. He don't know what spirit ye are of. The Bible says trust the spirit to see if they are of God. There is a lot of witchery that has come inside of our churches under the name of music. Let me throw something else out. I'm not gonna beat a dead horse. That song, look, see who wrote it. If they were in the world, if they were lost, I don't care how good it sounds, it don't have the anointing of God. You say, well, you take a stand about music. Yes, we do. Every song I've heard here has been anointing of God that I've felt. It ain't stirring my flesh, it's stirring my soul. They say, well, you just gotta let the Spirit, God, period. No, there is a standard in the Word of God. I mean, you got some people out there that say, well, they didn't have pianos inside the Bible, so we're not gonna have pianos in there. Well, bless God, they didn't have computers, and they didn't have cards, and they didn't have stuff like that, and cell phones. What are we gonna do, outlaw that too? Be careful of being so heavenly minded that you're of no earthly use. How about this? Dinosaurs also believe in marriage. A girl pops up and says she's in love with a girl. Let him get married, I say. No. God said a man and a woman. They say a guy and a guy can get married as long as they love each other. No, they can't. Not in God's eyes. And preachers, that offends me. Guess what? I've got homosexual gay friends. I do. And I love every one of them. But they know where the Bible stands. One of my best friends growing up came out of the closet. And he said, well, I guess this will be the last conversation we ever have. I said, well, wait a minute. Why? I said, I got in a fight over you in fifth grade. His daddy died. And some guy came over and started making fun of him when he came back to school. I said, you need to shut your mouth. He wasn't in any condition to do that, anything about it. He was just kind of zoned out of his head, because his daddy died. He said, no, that's a free country. I can say what I want. So he said it again, my daddy's alive, your daddy's dead. I said, I said you need to hush. What are you gonna do about it? I said, well, my mom and daddy said not to start a fight but finish it. But you're about to make me cross the line. So he said it again, I popped up and I grabbed him by the shirt and I popped him across the jaw. Down he went, he was about to come up and I leaped on him and I was about to rear back and pop him again and then the teacher came. By this time, he was alert. And I said, we're going to get Craig, and we're going to suspend him. He said, no. It was he that started it. He got suspended. I just had to sit out the rest of PE. You see, that's when a school system was a school system. Right. Yeah. I think nowadays, halftime, what they need to do, they need to let these little hotheads get a bunch of boxing gloves and just duke it out. Get it out of their system. And maybe they'll shake hands and say, you know what? We can be friends. But you see, he said, this will be the last conversation we have. I said, why? He goes, I know how you feel about gay people. I said, how do I feel about gay people? He said, you hate them. I said, no, I don't. No, I don't. I said, you know what I hate? I hate lying. I hate people that are dishonest. I hate the sin inside the people that are dishonest. I hate it when I'm dishonest. I hate it when I lie. I hate it when I do things I'm not supposed to do. And when you look at that, I told him, I said, God says that's a sin. Yeah, he called it an abomination, but he also called a bunch of other things abomination. Like striking your parent is an abomination. Like lying, bearing false witness to your neighbor, that's an abomination. Let us not zero and single out certain sin just because we get offended at them worse than other people. For sin is sin in the eyes of God. You know what God said, you remember? He said, if you keep the whole law and offend in one point, you are guilty of all. Of all. I said the only way this is gonna be our last conversation is you end the talk. My door is open and will always be open and it always has been open. But you know what the problem is sometimes? People can't see past their nose. It's something that offends them rather than looking at what offends an almighty God. In my life and theirs. But you see this thing about marriage? Man decided he would redefine what marriage is. Well you're a dinosaur, that's outdated. Let me tell you something. God is the one that made marriage. He said it is not good that man should be alone. I will make and help meet for him. And so then Adam took a nap. Naps are biblical. You can take a nap, amen. Let's try not to while the preacher man's preaching. Then God woke Adam up and said, get up, son. And then he looked there and he saw one of the most beautiful creatures that he ever saw, Jordan, and I firmly believe. He said, whoa, man. Oh, that's a good name for you, whoa, man. Woman, you shall be called woman, because you were taken from the side Guys, you notice that? God didn't take her from the foot. It ain't right for us to walk all over the woman. Amen! Oh, but I'm the head of the house. Woman, make me a sandwich. You might get some poisoned meat if you start barking out orders like that. I might be leery of eating that chowder if I was you, maybe. You see, some guys think because we're the head of the house, that means we can be a little dictator. No. He said for us to love her as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. You know what that means? That means sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice for that little woman that puts up with us and all our junk. Marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman for life. Yes, God put in there about a bill of divorcement. Why? Because we live in a sin, curse, fallen world. God allowed because of sin an exit. Biblically. Not, well, I don't like you no more. You changed after we got married. I'm going to leave. I'm just going back to mom and daddy. No, it ain't that. You fight through thick and thin. But you know what, guys? It takes two. It takes two. You can't force the other. Pray for them, you love them, and you try your best to do right for God. Marriage is sacred before the Lord. And nowadays they say if you believe in man and woman, you're a dinosaur. Well, praise God, there's still some dinosaurs left out there. I'll tell you right now, never has there been and never will there be a homosexual marriage in this church, at Daniel Baptist Church, at Riverside Baptist Church, at Morning Star Baptist Church, because we believe the authority of the word of God. More than your precious little feelings. Has it cost me friends? Yes. Has it cost me people? Yes. But it'll never cost me God. Ever! He wrote the rules, if you got a problem with it, don't kill the messenger, go to the boss. But I'll tell you right now, there's people that went to the boss, and wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, and the word ain't changed yet. But preacher, I was born a man, but I feel like a woman. You watch out about them feelings. They'll get you in trouble. I'm going to tell you something. I've been telling these folks here for 21 years. When we are led by our emotions, we do not think. We are supposed to think the mind of Christ. So, you get inside the Word of God to try to dig out the mind of Christ. What we preachers are trying to do is to take the way we've been thinking for 20 years, 50 years, 60 years, the way you've solved your problem, the way you deal with life, the way you do this and do that. You know, like, oh, I got a crappy day. I think I'll get drunk. Oh, I think I've had a crappy day. Let me just get high. That's the way we tried to solve it. Oh, let me go down here, down to the beer joint and I'll hang out with my barfly buddy and then we'll solve the problems of the world. Then I'll go back home to a worrying life. Well, maybe I'm just feeling down. Maybe I'll go gamble everything away. And then that way we can't pay the power bill and we can't put food on the table. That makes me feel real good. Maybe I'll just go on eBay and Amazon and I'll just spend my whole paycheck. That really makes me feel good. You know what you're trying to do? You're trying to fill a God-shaped hole with the crap of the world. You can't do it. And it don't work. And we tried it, and we failed. And we tried it, and we failed. And we tried it, and we failed. And then we say, God, it's your fault. And God said, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm. So what it is, is God is trying, He wants us to get this way of thinking out. And He wants us to get this way of thinking in the Word of God. You know, love your enemies. I hate them. You don't know what they've done to me. I want to rip them in the shreds. I want to put a bullet in their head. Love your enemies. What did Jesus say? What did Jesus say? Oh, I know what He said. You know what He said. They were nailing the nails in his hands, and he said, Father, kill them all. No, he didn't. He said, Father, forgive them. Father, forgive them. They know not what they do. A new way of thinking. But you know where you're gonna get it? You're gonna get it in the Word of God. You know where you need to be? In the house of God and in the Word of God. Problem is we get too busy in life. We get too busy in this. We get too busy in them hobbies and we don't get in the Word of God. So we drag ourselves to the house of God. The preacher preaches for about 30 minutes to an hour and then we might get a couple of points and then we're trying to get a new way of thinking. God wants to put that inside of our brain and have a new way of thinking. But the only way you're going to get it is this and this right here. And I'll go ahead and save you the trouble. I tried, Josh, to sleep on it and then wake up in the morning thinking it might ooze into my hand. It didn't work. Study to show thyself approved under God of workmen and needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth. Let this mind be also in you which was also in Christ Jesus. You gotta dig it. Where's your priority? Where's your want? Where's your desire for it? Oh, I want that cheeseburger. I want that pizza. I want that million dollars. I want that red sports car. I want this. I want that. I want that over there. When do you want to change your mind so that others will see Jesus in you rather than them seeing you in me? Dinosaurs still believe in male and female. If they believe there's 53 genders, God, that is a disorder of the mind. They need the fifth floor. They need psychiatric help. They need Jesus. You know, I saw one of them shirts on Amazon, Pastor Kevin. And it said, I believe in 53 genders. And I looked at it and I said, well, I wonder how they might order one. So I clicked on it and it said, male and female. That's right. I said, bless her heart. You can believe something all day long, but that don't make it right. It best come out of the word of God. If I can get a piano player coming on up. There's one more thing, guys, that dinosaurs, well, there's a bunch of things, but tonight I want to share with you one more thing. Dinosaurs believe in absolutes. There is absolute truth, there is absolute right, and there is absolute wrong. But see, people nowadays, they say, well, that's just the way I see it. You remember the Bible told us a long time ago, back in Judges? Every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Why? Because it says, in those days, there was no king in Israel. And every man did that which was right in his own eye. Tonight, if you are a child of the king, if you are a child of Jesus Christ, you have a king. And that's his name, Jesus. And the last time I checked, beloved, we don't tell the king what to do. We don't change the king's law. The king tells us what to do, where to go, how to serve. because he has absolute authority. He is such a gentleman, though, he will not make us. He says, here it is, but it's up to you to do. So you want revival? Guys, we can't have revival when we're straddling the fence and playing hooky in the world and then coming up and showing up and just say the right thing and wear the right thing and just make the right noises at the right time and think we're gonna fool God. He sees your heart and mind. He knows how long you've been sitting there thinking, I wish he'd shut up, I wanna go home. He knows how long he's been sitting there. I don't believe in that. Well, I don't like it. It's the word of God, the word of the king. And where the word of the king is, it says there is power. When we stand and people ask about these things and they say these things and we answer that, some people get plumb offended. But that's okay, guys. They can do what they want to do. The thing is that you and I, we got to do what the king said because we're the king's kids. And if we don't, there's a whooping going to come our way. See, my daddy and my mama, they believed in whooping. They'd wear my honey in and out. And I'll tell you right now, the Bible says whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth. That literally means to skin alive with a whip. And you believe God ain't gonna do that to you? Ha ha, I got news, he will. And I would rather get my honey and wore out by my daddy any day now as a 43 year old than get a whooping from my heavenly father. It hurts. And you know what you've done when you've crossed the line. But praise God, God will never disown you. Because nothing shall separate us from the love of God. And whom the Lord loveth, he skimth the life. And I'm glad today, God loves me enough to tell me no. Because he knows better than I ever will. I think I got it figured out. He's really the one that's got it all figured out. But you see, dinosaurs believe in that stuff. Dinosaurs believe in all this, guys. The main thing is for us is when they're saying, oh, your church is going to fail because you ain't with the time. You're just an old dinosaur. Well, bless God, let's just be dinosaurs because there's still dinosaurs out there. There's still dinosaurs in here. God took care of them all these many years. He's going to take care of them all the other many years just like He's going to take care of us. So let's serve him, let's love him. What did he say? If you love me, keep my commandments. Not what Preacher Craig, Preacher Jordan, Preacher Kevin said, but what Jesus said for us. So, David's gonna play. God's speaking to your heart tonight. Yeah. I still will love you. I still will.
