Latest / The Slippery Slope / The People Plot a Vain Thing.
Transcript
- 0:01Hi, Jacob Allen. Thank you for listening to the
- 0:04Sabri slope. So I did the an episode last
- 0:08week that was about the wrath of God, and I believe that God has
- 0:15well, the Bible talks about God, basically, just allowing me, and
- 0:21giving me an over to their own selfish selfish desires.
- 0:25And, you know, it can be hard to hear and it's, it can be painful
- 0:31to think about sometimes, because you think, well, you
- 0:33don't want some you know, you just not that God's not in
- 0:38control or anything, I God was always in control, but it's,
- 0:42it's disappointing to think that mankind can just go so far down
- 0:47the track that God can just take his hand off and say, well, If
- 0:52this is what you want, as the verse says, God gives them over,
- 0:57gives them over to their own desires.
- 0:59I think that's a scary place to be and not to be scared of your
- 1:04Christian just if it's a scary place to be in if that's where
- 1:09you are in your your sin. But I tell you one thing, I'm a
- 1:14verse that a give me a lot of a lot of comfort and made me think
- 1:18I've been really contemplating on meditating on the last couple
- 1:22of weeks. And that was awesome too and
- 1:25I'll read a little bit to you here.
- 1:28It's titled the messiah's Triumph and Kingdom and the
- 1:31starts off with saying, why do the nation's rage and the people
- 1:35plot a vain thing, the kings of the earth set themselves and the
- 1:41rulers. Take counsel together against
- 1:45the Lord, and against his anointed saying, let us break
- 1:48their Bonds in pieces and Cast Away their cords.
- 1:52AIDS from us. He who sits in the heavens,
- 1:56shall laugh, the Lord shall hold them in derision then he shall
- 2:03speak to them in his wrath and distress them in his deep
- 2:06displeasure yet. I have set my king upon my Holy
- 2:09Hill of Zion goes on to say I will declare the decree.
- 2:13The Lord has said to me, you are my son today I have begotten you
- 2:17ask of me and I will give you the nation's for your
- 2:20inheritance and the ends of the Earth for your possession you
- 2:23shall break them. With a rod of iron you shalt
- 2:26Dash them to pieces like a Potter's vessel.
- 2:28Now, therefore be wise, o Kings be instructed, you judges of the
- 2:33earth, serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling kiss,
- 2:37the son, lest he be angry and you perish in the way when his
- 2:42wrath is kindled but a little blessed.
- 2:44Are those blessed are all those who put their trust in him.
- 2:49It's a blister. All those who put their trust in
- 2:51the Lord. Jesus Christ.
- 2:54You know, when thinking about Romans 1 and what it's saying
- 2:58about God giving giving the nation's over giving the people
- 3:03over because they just wants in so badly so much.
- 3:08And like I said, God was saying in that episode things that are
- 3:13just blatantly obvious, not to be true like the whole
- 3:18transgender issue. Like this this belief that sex
- 3:23gender is not binary, all that kind of rubbish you know, with
- 3:27the we see our nation's our society Our leadership chasing
- 3:31after. Just ludicrous ideas and trying
- 3:35to tell us all that they are true.
- 3:39That this is the way Society should go that we should embrace
- 3:42sin. No matter.
- 3:46No matter how, how much we can see that it is bad for our
- 3:49society, no matter how much we see that gender dysphoria.
- 3:55And chasing after this gender identity and mutilating bodies,
- 4:00our own bodies for the sake of a What, in reality, in essence, is
- 4:06probably a mental illness. I think is probably even more
- 4:09than a mental illness. Oh, Demonic influence, I would
- 4:14say. And yet, these people still
- 4:18chase after those things. And yet I find comfort in and
- 4:22things like what it says here in Psalms 2 because it's saying
- 4:27here, why do the nation's rage and the people plot a vain
- 4:32thing. It's just so, you know, no
- 4:35matter what Society does, no matter what this sinful desires,
- 4:40that they keep chasing after it is still doubt plotting of vain
- 4:45thing. And they can rage against God.
- 4:48All they like it is a vain thing and the kings of the earth they
- 4:53set themselves. And the rulers, they take
- 4:55counsel together and they're setting themselves against the
- 4:58Lord, against the anoint against the Lord, Jesus Christ.
- 5:02They're standing up and saying, I don't want to follow God.
- 5:05I don't believe in the Bible. I don't want to follow the let's
- 5:09just say the rules that the Bible put down They don't they
- 5:15want to just kick against anything Godly holy righteous
- 5:22because they want to chase after sin.
- 5:25And yet, he goes on to say here, but he who sits or he who sits
- 5:29in the heavens, shall laugh? The Lord shall hold them in
- 5:34derision. You know, I was reading this I
- 5:36thinking that's On one hand, it's kind of a little scary
- 5:42because you're sitting there thinking I don't want to be on
- 5:45that, I don't want to be one of those people that are sitting
- 5:47there chasing after sin, that will get me nowhere.
- 5:54But leading me towards destruction and constantly
- 5:57kicking against the things that I know are true.
- 6:01The truth that's in this world that is that God is the creator
- 6:06of the earth that God did send his son to die on the earth for
- 6:12us for the Forgiveness of sins. These, you know, that that God
- 6:18did create the Earth. He created mankind, he created,
- 6:22man and woman. and, It really comforted my spirit because I
- 6:31realized that, no matter how much we can see our society
- 6:37running chasing after sinful delusional desires.
- 6:44God. God God sits in the heavens and
- 6:50laughs because he is still in control.
- 6:53He said, the people plot a Vine thing the nation's can rage, the
- 6:59nation's can chase after ludicrous ideas, sinful
- 7:03disgusting ideas. But they plot a vain thing
- 7:08because God is in control. Like I says, in verse 4, he who
- 7:13sits in the heavens, shall laugh, the Lord shall hold them
- 7:18in derision, then he shall speak to them in his Wrath. and when
- 7:24it finishes off, this, this Psalm and says now, therefore be
- 7:28wise, o Kings, Be instructed. You judges of the earth, serve
- 7:33the Lord with fear. you know, I think not, I think you could put
- 7:40your own name there, and think about this be wise, Jason, Be
- 7:45instructed, take instruction serve the Lord, the Lord Jesus
- 7:51Christ, with fear and rejoice, with trembling.
- 7:56The finches off with saying blessed are all those who put
- 7:59their trust in him. Blessed.
- 8:02Are you blessed in my? Because I put my trust because
- 8:06you put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 8:11And you're not chasing after. These.
- 8:17Sinful desires that the world asses that current Society.
- 8:21Our governments are telling us that we should be chasing after.
- 8:29Chasing after vain things plotting, vain things that trust
- 8:33is in the Lord Jesus Christ and as I go back to work for another
- 8:37seven days, I take comfort in knowing that my trust is in the
- 8:43Lord. Jesus Christ no matter where the
- 8:47world is going, no matter where Society is going, no matter
- 8:50what, Vain and silly things, our leadership applauding My trust
- 8:59is in the Lord Jesus Christ. You know, I thought I'd leave
- 9:03you with that. A society may be on a slippery,
- 9:07slope better trust is in the Lord Jesus Christ as I go to
- 9:12work for the week and just I pray that you have a good week.
- 9:17Be blessed trust in God. Meditate on the word.
- 9:25Thanks for listening to the slippery slope.
