Sermon Transcription
and spread out our literature all over China. He says, you've tried to win the masses by hospitals, by schools. You know what we did? He says, we printed our message. We gave it out. We've been here less than 10 years. You've been here 100 years. Now, Psalms 103 says, I will set nothing wicked before my eyes. I hate the works of those who fall away. It shall not cling to me. I mean, no wonder we Christians sin so much because we let sin become our entertainment. Sin has become our entertainment. That's what the TV, that's what's on TV. I mean, what exactly do you allow to come into your own homes? What do you allow to come into the ears of your children? What do you set before your eyes? Psalms says, I will set nothing wicked before my eyes. Now, I take that as saying, turn off the TV and seek God in prayer. And Church, I don't think it's acceptable that I can turn on my television around noontime to see one man and three women doing all sorts of immoral things that I wouldn't dare quote in front of a church, let alone, I mean, not even in the world, I wouldn't talk about what they do. I don't think it's acceptable that I can turn on my television after having lunch to watch two homosexuals getting married. I've seen lesbians dancing together on TV and kissing and I mean, I know I'm not the only one. I'm not the only one. I know I'm not the only one. Now, I take that as saying, turn off the TV and seek God in prayer. It says, if the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world. Therefore, the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, a servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake, because they do not know him who sent me. You see, if we were of the world, if we did the things like the world, if we had watched all the filth on television, if we went out to the clubs and we went out to the parties and we went drinking and we had sex out of marriage and we did all the filth that the world did, the world would have no problem with us, themselves. But Jesus says the world hates us because he called us out of the world, because we're different, we're set apart. That's what holy means. Holy means set apart. And so because we've been made separate from the world, we were set apart from the world. We're not of the world anymore. The world hates us. Why? Because it hated him. He called us out of darkness into the light. And so if they hate us, it's because they hate the light. If they reject us, it's because they've already rejected God. And it's nothing to be scared of. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I mean, all of this is what the Lord taught me in my own devotional time. You can believe it or not, reject it, accept it. I'm just preaching what he's told me. Paul said, this one thing I do, you see, he never was distracted. This one thing I do, no matter what, whether they hear or whether they were few. In fact, you have some of these things in your life and you're aware that they're in your life and you don't try and get them out of your life, then in truth, you're a backslider. You're going to wish I would have chosen when you actually stand there. Well, my message is entitled uncompromising. I want to start off by asking you a personal question. Do you have it? Probably some, they would call him a legalist and he would be accused of legalism. And so holiness isn't preached on very often. Ever wondered why the world crucified the holiest man that ever lived? I mean, who would crucify Mr. Rogers, right?
