0:00:00.240,0:00:04.490
I think it's wonderful that you have come[br]here to place blame and guilt upon us.

0:00:04.520,0:00:06.220
I think it's wonderful that you have

0:00:06.250,0:00:10.170
reminded us just how face[br]and vile that we are.

0:00:10.200,0:00:12.940
And I think, sir,[br]that Christ would be quite pleased

0:00:12.970,0:00:17.540
with you, because he did come to our world[br]and he did say, get up on a stage,

0:00:17.560,0:00:21.380
talk to people in Masses,[br]tell them how awful they are.

0:00:21.400,0:00:23.900
Don't get on your knees[br]and wash their feet.

0:00:23.920,0:00:25.580
Don't pick up the prospects puts off

0:00:25.600,0:00:28.140
of the street and help[br]them better their lives.

0:00:28.170,0:00:30.300
Don't go down here to downtown, sir,

0:00:30.330,0:00:34.140
and take your fancy coat off and give[br]it to a homeless man that needs it.

0:00:34.160,0:00:35.500
Don't give him that lot of money

0:00:35.530,0:00:40.180
that you've held in your hand this entire[br]time that you've been on the stage, okay?

0:00:40.210,0:00:43.620
Why don't you take all of that you have go

0:00:43.650,0:00:46.660
down there, sir, and give us[br]a demonstration of Christianity.

0:00:46.680,0:00:51.980
Because Christ did not say,[br]get on this podium and say as I say.

0:00:52.010,0:00:53.820
He said, do as I do.

0:00:53.850,0:00:57.180
And I don't see you out here[br]helping us with our homework.

0:00:57.210,0:01:00.160
I don't see you giving us advice on how we

0:01:00.160,0:01:02.500
should live our lives,[br]how we should have meaningful,

0:01:02.530,0:01:05.380
committed relationships with our[br]partners of our choice.

0:01:05.400,0:01:07.050
I don't see you doing any of this.

0:01:07.080,0:01:10.820
What I see you do is pass judgment,[br]and that is for God to do.

0:01:10.850,0:01:13.180
If God exists, that is.

0:01:13.210,0:01:14.490
It's not yours, sir.

0:01:14.520,0:01:15.570
Work on yourself.

0:01:15.600,0:01:18.700
Work on your world, work on your[br]community, work on your kids.

0:01:18.720,0:01:22.720
They're going to need it.[br]And that is all I have to say.

0:01:23.360,0:01:29.780
Okay, well, ignoring the fact that she[br]just judged me for judging people

0:01:29.810,0:01:33.660
and assuming, of course,[br]that Christians do none of those things,

0:01:33.690,0:01:38.490
like build homeless shelters and adopt[br]more kids than people who are not

0:01:38.520,0:01:42.260
Christians do and who give more[br]than people who are not Christians.

0:01:42.290,0:01:44.290
Despite all those evidences of salt

0:01:44.320,0:01:47.140
and light, christians[br]are the adopting people.

0:01:47.170,0:01:49.060
Christians are the feeding people.

0:01:49.080,0:01:51.570
Christians are the people who are[br]taking care of the homeless.

0:01:51.600,0:01:52.380
And you know what, though?

0:01:52.410,0:01:55.340
I will tell you this,[br]christians are still sinners.

0:01:55.360,0:01:56.780
I'll tell you that for a fact.

0:01:56.810,0:01:59.980
Look, if I've given the impression[br]by the way, this is about $4.

0:02:00.010,0:02:04.420
If I've given the impression[br]that I'm better than you, I'm sorry.

0:02:04.440,0:02:07.020
Because I did not come here to tell[br]you that I'm better than you.

0:02:07.050,0:02:10.860
That's the last thing I'll tell[br]you what I will proclaim to you.

0:02:10.890,0:02:14.780
I am hands down, the worst[br]person here right now.

0:02:14.810,0:02:15.780
I'm telling you,

0:02:15.810,0:02:19.980
I will go to the mattresses or the mats[br]on that one wrestling with you.

0:02:20.010,0:02:21.700
I am the worst person.

0:02:21.730,0:02:25.170
If there is anybody in this place[br]right now that is a sinner, it is.

0:02:25.200,0:02:27.610
I'll take myself through the committee.

0:02:27.640,0:02:29.140
Do you want to hear something amazing?

0:02:29.160,0:02:30.940
Do you think I'm an arrogant jerk?[br]Okay.

0:02:30.960,0:02:31.940
I used to be even worse.

0:02:31.970,0:02:35.300
If you can imagine that I[br]actually studied to be a pastor.

0:02:35.320,0:02:38.610
And you know what?[br]I wasn't even a Christian at the time.

0:02:38.640,0:02:40.080
But anybody who didn't measure up

0:02:40.110,0:02:44.260
to my theological standard, I thought I[br]was superior, and I was a better person.

0:02:44.290,0:02:47.580
I was an arrogant slime ball.[br]Oh, man.

0:02:47.600,0:02:50.610
I'm telling you, I would take[br]advantage of you in a heartbeat.

0:02:50.640,0:02:53.610
I'd get your money,[br]get something I wanted from you.

0:02:53.640,0:02:55.500
I'm telling you,[br]I'm the worst of the worst.

0:02:55.530,0:03:00.060
My thought life, if you could look inside[br]of my brain, it is so disgusting and vile.

0:03:00.080,0:03:01.860
I'm not here to tell you[br]I'm better than you.

0:03:01.880,0:03:03.660
You want to look at my[br]track record of life?

0:03:03.680,0:03:06.220
You're right.[br]I don't feed enough people.

0:03:06.250,0:03:08.460
I don't adopt enough people.[br]You're right.

0:03:08.480,0:03:10.260
I don't.[br]I don't help you with your homework.

0:03:10.290,0:03:12.660
I don't.[br]And you know what?

0:03:12.690,0:03:15.300
I'm a bad person.

0:03:15.330,0:03:17.900
I was in the bottom of the barrel,

0:03:17.930,0:03:22.300
and God saw fit to scrape[br]down and save me a sinner.

0:03:22.320,0:03:25.740
So if I gave you the impression I'm[br]superior, I'm sorry, because I'm not.

0:03:25.770,0:03:28.580
I am a beggar who has been shown bread.

0:03:28.610,0:03:30.980
I was thirsty, and God[br]gave me living water.

0:03:31.010,0:03:34.340
And the only reason I came here[br]was to simply share with you.

0:03:34.360,0:03:35.980
There is something amazing out there

0:03:36.010,0:03:41.180
called the Good News of Jesus Christ[br]that God died for sinners.

0:03:41.200,0:03:42.540
Why would I come here today?

0:03:42.570,0:03:43.900
I'm not asking for money.

0:03:43.930,0:03:45.700
I'm not taking up a collection.

0:03:45.730,0:03:48.700
I'm not looking to sign anybody[br]up for my Twitter account.

0:03:48.720,0:03:51.780
I'm here to simply I'm going to leave, and[br]then you're not going to see me anymore.

0:03:51.800,0:03:53.020
I'm not getting anything out of this

0:03:53.050,0:03:56.580
but to share with you[br]something that I know is true.

0:03:56.610,0:03:58.610
I know this to be true.

0:03:58.640,0:04:01.610
God died for sinners.

0:04:01.640,0:04:02.920
That's how good he is.

0:04:02.950,0:04:06.260
He died for you,[br]and I came to proclaim it today.

0:04:06.290,0:04:08.580
I know the reputation[br]of Christianity is bad.

0:04:08.600,0:04:09.900
I know we don't feed enough.

0:04:09.930,0:04:11.100
That's our problem.

0:04:11.120,0:04:12.700
We don't say enough good things.

0:04:12.730,0:04:14.060
That's our problem.

0:04:14.090,0:04:17.420
We don't go overseas[br]and malaria and people die.

0:04:17.450,0:04:18.540
We don't do enough.

0:04:18.560,0:04:19.860
But it's even worse than that.

0:04:19.890,0:04:22.500
It's not just the stuff we fail to do.

0:04:22.530,0:04:24.700
Those are sins of omission.

0:04:24.720,0:04:28.220
Consider our sins of commission.

0:04:28.250,0:04:32.780
How many evil things have you done?

0:04:32.800,0:04:34.900
Okay, let me ask you,[br]and I asked this gently.

0:04:34.920,0:04:37.980
How many poor people have you fed the day?

0:04:38.010,0:04:40.620
How many orphans did you adopt today?

0:04:40.650,0:04:42.420
How many strangers did you want?

0:04:42.440,0:04:44.820
Have you helped anybody[br]with their homework today?

0:04:44.840,0:04:48.180
If we're going to use that standard,[br]we are all falling short.

0:04:48.210,0:04:49.660
That's the point.

0:04:49.690,0:04:54.020
We don't do what we should, and the things[br]that we shouldn't do, we do.

0:04:54.040,0:04:55.420
That is our problem.

0:04:55.450,0:05:00.180
And is there anything today that we can[br]agree with, that nobody does enough good?

0:05:00.210,0:05:02.300
Can we agree with that?[br]Right?

0:05:02.330,0:05:05.020
Can we also agree that we[br]all do things that are bad?

0:05:05.040,0:05:06.100
You don't have to admit them.

0:05:06.130,0:05:07.740
I don't need to see your resume.

0:05:07.770,0:05:09.700
But do we not all lust?

0:05:09.720,0:05:11.940
Do we not all lie?

0:05:11.970,0:05:14.580
Do we not all take things[br]that don't belong to us?

0:05:14.600,0:05:16.540
Downloading music or answers from somebody

0:05:16.570,0:05:19.540
else or a pencil we don't[br]return to somebody's office?

0:05:19.570,0:05:24.300
Did we not all dishonor our parents[br]by being little snotty kids who didn't

0:05:24.330,0:05:27.020
disobey or threw a tantrum[br]and fell down on the floor?

0:05:27.040,0:05:29.340
Or how's about the fact[br]that you look at pornography?

0:05:29.360,0:05:32.060
Does that not dishonor your mom and dad?

0:05:32.080,0:05:33.780
Think of what all the things that you've

0:05:33.800,0:05:39.180
done, and God will make sure[br]that you receive what you deserve.

0:05:39.200,0:05:40.260
It's as simple as that.

0:05:40.290,0:05:42.260
Justice will be done.

0:05:42.290,0:05:43.580
It is certain.

0:05:43.600,0:05:45.340
It's called Judgment Day.

0:05:45.360,0:05:49.220
But before that day comes,[br]you have a chance to be forgiven.

0:05:49.250,0:05:52.740
Because the punishment you deserve,[br]jesus Christ took for you.

0:05:52.760,0:05:54.100
The death that you deserve.

0:05:54.130,0:05:55.660
Jesus died for you.

0:05:55.690,0:05:59.180
And you can trust Him because he[br]rose from the dead defeating death.

0:05:59.200,0:06:01.540
And you don't have to be[br]scared to meet God anymore.

0:06:01.560,0:06:03.460
You don't have to be scared of the grave.

0:06:03.480,0:06:07.660
He will forgive you if you will repent[br]and put your trust in Him today.

0:06:07.690,0:06:10.700
And all of your sins will be forgiven.

0:06:10.730,0:06:15.500
If you are terrified to witness to a loved[br]one who is enslaved, you are qualified.

0:06:15.520,0:06:16.020
Why?

0:06:16.040,0:06:19.580
Paul came to the Corinthians[br]with fear and much trembling.

0:06:19.600,0:06:22.740
Now it's time to get equipped.[br]Terrified.

0:06:22.770,0:06:26.540
A Witness manual and witness[br]encounters with a Baxter and Baptist.

0:06:26.570,0:06:28.860
A Lukewarm lutheran?[br]Atheist.

0:06:28.890,0:06:30.620
Agnostics.

0:06:30.650,0:06:37.400
So you can learn how to witness[br]and share your furiously.
