The Church Is One. False Prophets Will Pay - Paul Washer
-
0:05 - 0:10(Jer. 32) Verse 38: "They shall be My people
-
0:10 - 0:12and I will be their God."
-
0:12 - 0:16He doesn't say I hope so, maybe, if I get lucky,
-
0:16 - 0:18oh if I can get enough evangelists to work with me,
-
0:18 - 0:20maybe this will all come out right.
-
0:20 - 0:24He says "I am going to pull a people for Me.
-
0:24 - 0:27A people that I am going to give to My Son."
-
0:27 - 0:32And He says, "they shall be My people and I will be their God."
-
0:32 - 0:40Look at this: "And I will give them one heart and one way"
-
0:40 - 0:42Now don't be angry with me,
-
0:42 - 0:45any angrier than you already are, at least.
-
0:45 - 0:47But listen to me,
-
0:47 - 0:50the 70s and 80s and all the Jesus marches,
-
0:50 - 0:52and everyone weeping and crying,
-
0:52 - 0:56"the church is so divided, the church is not one"
-
0:56 - 0:57My dear friend, let me tell you something:
-
0:57 - 0:59if the church is not one, there is a prayer out there
-
0:59 - 1:02that God the father did not answer for His Son.
-
1:02 - 1:05And this new covenant promise has failed.
-
1:05 - 1:08So I want to redirect you a little bit.
-
1:08 - 1:09I want to submit to you:
-
1:09 - 1:13the church is one, she's always been one. (P)
-
1:13 - 1:15Have you ever sat down on an airplane
-
1:15 - 1:21or maybe met someone in a marketplace you didn't even know?
-
1:21 - 1:23And you being maybe baptist or mennonite
-
1:23 - 1:28or this or that, but truly evangelical, truly christian,
-
1:28 - 1:30you talk to them for no more than a few minutes
-
1:30 - 1:33and you discover, BAM! He is a believer!
-
1:33 - 1:38This is a Live One!
-
1:38 - 1:43And at that moment, you'd give your life for him. (P)
-
1:43 - 1:44I remember one time, we were in
-
1:44 - 1:46departamento amazonas (Amazon department) in Peru
-
1:46 - 1:48and it was during the time of the Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path)
-
1:48 - 1:50and the civil war that was going on there.
-
1:50 - 1:53We rode 22 hours up in the back of a grain truck
-
1:53 - 1:54under a black tarp.
-
1:54 - 1:56And about midnight, we pulled the tarp off,
-
1:56 - 1:59the truck stopped, and we jumped off into the jungle.
-
1:59 - 2:01we stayed the night just at the edge of the jungle
-
2:01 - 2:02and made our ways up
-
2:02 - 2:05to a place called "ingenio en tambolik"
-
2:05 - 2:07About halfway up, we got lost in the dark the next day.
-
2:07 - 2:11So we were praying, me and my dear friend Paco,
-
2:11 - 2:13"O God give us some direction, we're lost."
-
2:13 - 2:15If we're found in here,
-
2:15 - 2:16the terrorists owned the place,
-
2:16 - 2:19the military wouldn't even go in.
-
2:19 - 2:22And we cried out, "O God give us some direction, Help us"
-
2:22 - 2:24We heard a bell
-
2:24 - 2:27then we heard somebody talking.
-
2:27 - 2:30It was a strange conversation at first, we thought.
-
2:30 - 2:32Then we realised it was a little boy
-
2:32 - 2:34coming in from the fields with his burro.
-
2:34 - 2:37and he was talking to his burro.
-
2:37 - 2:38And so we got behind him and followed him.
-
2:38 - 2:44Then, we stood on the edge of the town, a little village with huts.
-
2:44 - 2:47And I said, Paco, if the terrorists own this thing,
-
2:47 - 2:49we're dead.
-
2:49 - 2:51But we've got to go somewhere.
-
2:51 - 2:52So we got down,
-
2:52 - 2:56walked up to a man who was drunk in the dark
-
2:56 - 3:00and said, "are there brothers here?"
-
3:00 - 3:03because everybody knows what that means in the mountains.
-
3:03 - 3:06It means a real christian.
-
3:06 - 3:12And He said, "the old woman over there."
-
3:12 - 3:15So I went over there,
-
3:15 - 3:18it was an old nazarene woman.
-
3:18 - 3:21And I knocked on the door,
-
3:21 - 3:28I said, "I am an evangelical pastor, please help me."
-
3:28 - 3:30That old woman reached out with that lantern,
-
3:30 - 3:32she grabbed me, she pulled me inside,
-
3:32 - 3:35she grabbed Paco, took us down,
-
3:35 - 3:37her house was cut out of a cliff in the mud,
-
3:37 - 3:39and she took us down into the basement
-
3:39 - 3:41where there was some hay, and chickens and things.
-
3:41 - 3:43And she sat us there and she lit a lamp
-
3:43 - 3:45and then a little boy came in, and she called to him and said:
-
3:45 - 3:47"Go get the other brothers,"
-
3:47 - 3:49and they started bringing chickens and Yucca,
-
3:49 - 3:52and everything else, risking their lives, why?
-
3:52 - 3:54Because we are One! (P)
-
3:54 - 3:57Stop saying all these silly things that you are saying,
-
3:57 - 3:59that the body of Christ is divided,
-
3:59 - 4:01and its a mess and its full of sin,
-
4:01 - 4:07I will not talk about the bride of Christ that way if I was you.
-
4:07 - 4:12What you've got is a bunch of goats, and tares among the sheep,
-
4:12 - 4:15and because very little biblical compassionate
-
4:15 - 4:17church discipline is practiced,
-
4:17 - 4:19they live among the sheep;
-
4:19 - 4:20they feed on the sheep;
-
4:20 - 4:22and they destroy the sheep.
-
4:22 - 4:24And those of you who are leaders in the church
-
4:24 - 4:26are going to pay a high penalty
-
4:26 - 4:28when you stand before the one who loves them
-
4:28 - 4:31because you did not have enough courage
-
4:31 - 4:35to stand up and confront the wicked. (P)
-
4:35 - 4:40As a matter of fact, listen to me:
-
4:40 - 4:42The average scenario in North America
-
4:42 - 4:44with regard to churches,
-
4:44 - 4:47by and large, the churches are democracies,
-
4:47 - 4:48and I don't want to get into
-
4:48 - 4:51the ifs or pros or cons of that.
-
4:51 - 4:52But here's what happens:
-
4:52 - 4:55Because the preaching of the gospel is so low,
-
4:55 - 5:00the majority in the churches are carnal, lost people.
-
5:00 - 5:02And because it is a democracy,
-
5:02 - 5:06they, by and large, govern the direction of the church.
-
5:06 - 5:08And because the pastor doesn't want to lose
-
5:08 - 5:09the great number of people,
-
5:09 - 5:11and because he has wrong ideas
-
5:11 - 5:13regarding evangelism and true conversion,
-
5:13 - 5:15he caters to the wicked in his church.
-
5:15 - 5:18And this little group of true sheep
-
5:18 - 5:20that belong to Jesus Christ are sitting there,
-
5:20 - 5:22in the midst of all the theater,
-
5:22 - 5:24in the midst of all the worldliness,
-
5:24 - 5:26in the midst of all the multimedia going,
-
5:26 - 5:28we just want to worship Jesus;
-
5:28 - 5:30and we just want someone to teach us the bible
-
5:30 - 5:36and pastors are going to pay for that. (P)
-
5:36 - 5:44It's true. It's just true.
-
5:44 - 5:46You're saying, "Oh you're just angry."
-
5:46 - 5:50My dear friend, do you know what it costs me to say this?
-
5:50 - 5:53It's true.
-
5:53 - 5:58Trying to keep together a bunch of wicked people,
-
5:58 - 6:01while a little flock in the midst of them
-
6:01 - 6:04are starving to death,
-
6:04 - 6:05and are made to go in directions
-
6:05 - 6:08they don't want to go with the carnal majority. (P)
-
6:08 - 6:11Listen to me, if my wife
-
6:11 - 6:14was at walmart late one night,
-
6:14 - 6:17and you walked by as a man
-
6:17 - 6:20and you saw that 2 men were abusing her,
-
6:20 - 6:223, 4, 5, 10 men
-
6:22 - 6:25were abusing her and hurting her,
-
6:25 - 6:26and you put your head down
-
6:26 - 6:29in the name of self-preservation, and you walked by,
-
6:29 - 6:31I want to tell you something my friend,
-
6:31 - 6:32I will not only look for those 10 men,
-
6:32 - 6:35I will look for you.
-
6:35 - 6:41It is the bride of Christ, and she is precious to him.
-
6:41 - 6:43It's going to cost you to serve Jesus.
-
6:43 - 6:44It could cost you your church,
-
6:44 - 6:46your reputation, and your denomination,
-
6:46 - 6:48absolutely everything;
-
6:48 - 6:56but the bride of Jesus Christ is worth it. (P)
-
6:56 - 7:00And look what it says, I love this.
-
7:00 - 7:02look at (verse) 39. "I will give them one heart
-
7:02 - 7:04and one way" and what is that way?
-
7:04 - 7:07it's Christ and His holiness.
-
7:07 - 7:09Every true believer I have ever met
-
7:09 - 7:12spoke much of Christ, and had a longing desire
-
7:12 - 7:16to be more holy than they were;
-
7:16 - 7:17more conformed to Christ.
-
7:17 - 7:19And look: “I will give them one heart and one way
-
7:19 - 7:22that they may fear me always, for their own good
-
7:22 - 7:24and for the good of their children after them."
-
7:24 - 7:27oh what a text that is. But let's go on:
-
7:27 - 7:30"I will make an everlasting covenant with them,
-
7:30 - 7:35that I will not turn away from them, to do them good."
-
7:35 - 7:39Now, we just read this,
-
7:39 - 7:44and so many people who are wicked, who are lost,
-
7:44 - 7:45they just go to church on Sunday,
-
7:45 - 7:46they hear this verse:
-
7:46 - 7:49"Yes, God has made an everlasting covenant with me.
-
7:49 - 7:52He will never turn away from me; never, never.
-
7:52 - 7:55I am secure because of God’s grace."
-
7:55 - 7:57But, they fail to read the second part.
-
7:57 - 7:58And look what it says:
-
7:58 - 8:00“I will make an everlasting covenant with them,
-
8:00 - 8:03that I will not turn away from them, to do them good;
-
8:03 - 8:06and I will put the fear of me in their hearts,
-
8:06 - 8:09so that they will not turn away from me.”
-
8:09 - 8:12The evidence that God has made an everlasting covenant with you, sir,
-
8:12 - 8:14is that He has put the fear of God in you,
-
8:14 - 8:16so that you will not turn away from Him.
-
8:16 - 8:19And if you turn away from Him, and He does not discipline you,
-
8:19 - 8:21and you continue turning away from Him,
-
8:21 - 8:24it is evidence that He has not put His fear in you,
-
8:24 - 8:25you have not been regenerated,
-
8:25 - 8:32and you have no covenant with God at all.
-
8:32 - 8:35It's true. (P)
-
8:35 - 8:37He says "Pay close attention to yourself
-
8:37 - 8:39and to your teaching.
-
8:39 - 8:41Preserve in these things,
-
8:41 - 8:44for as you do this, you will ensure salvation
-
8:44 - 8:46both for yourself,
-
8:46 - 8:48and for those who hear you." 1 timothy 4:16
-
8:48 - 8:52Now, let's just finish with this:
-
8:52 - 8:54this verse means almost nothing in the
-
8:54 - 8:56evangelical community today.
-
8:56 - 8:58How many pastors do you think,
-
8:58 - 9:00and preachers take it seriously.
-
9:00 - 9:02"I need to pay close attention to myself
-
9:02 - 9:05to ensure salvation for me
-
9:05 - 9:08and for those who hear me."
-
9:08 - 9:09I have a question pastor:
-
9:09 - 9:10when was the last time you examined your
-
9:10 - 9:13own life to see if you are in the faith?
-
9:13 - 9:16to see if you really know him? (P)
-
9:16 - 9:20You see, My dear friend,
-
9:20 - 9:24I have great assurance.
-
9:24 - 9:26When I study my own conversion,
-
9:26 - 9:28when I discuss it with other men;
-
9:28 - 9:30when I look over the 25 years
-
9:30 - 9:31of my pilgrimage with Christ,
-
9:31 - 9:33I have great assurance
-
9:33 - 9:36of having come to know Him.
-
9:36 - 9:37But even now,
-
9:37 - 9:41if I were to depart from the faith,
-
9:41 - 9:44and walk away,
-
9:44 - 9:46and keep going in that direction,
-
9:46 - 9:51into heresy, into worldliness,
-
9:51 - 9:53it could be the greatest of proofs
-
9:53 - 9:55that I never knew Him;
-
9:55 - 9:58that the whole thing was a work of the flesh.
-
9:58 - 10:00I know what I am saying is astounding to you.
-
10:00 - 10:01You think, O my!
-
10:01 - 10:04I've never heard such a thing.
-
10:04 - 10:10Read "Pilgrim's Progress."
-
10:10 - 10:11"Pay close attention to yourself,
-
10:11 - 10:12and to your teaching.
-
10:12 - 10:14Preserve in these things,
-
10:14 - 10:16for as you do this,
-
10:16 - 10:18you will ensure salvation,
-
10:18 - 10:19both for yourself,
-
10:19 - 10:21and for those who hear you."
-
10:21 - 10:28May God bless His church.
