• 0:30
  Speaker 1: third goes to a Louisiana pastor named Dale Saanders. Dale
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: is fifty six years old, and he's a prime example
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of why so many people say they believe in God
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: but don't trust the people claiming to represent them. Okay. See.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Dale has been described by outlets like The New York
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Posts as a social media savvy pastor and author. Savvy
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: is usually just another word for panessa, okay, which is
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: why people need to stop confusing charisma with characters. Just
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: because a person can get online and preach, you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: motivate you and go viral because of it, or even
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: quote scripture, doesn't mean they're trustworthy. And that's why Dale
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Sanders was found guilty of a twenty five count indictment
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: charging him with why are fraud, access the vice, fraud,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and obstruction of a federal investigation. Let's go to NBC
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: six News for the report.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Police pastor is facing jail time after being convicted of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: defrauding churches. After a year's long investigation, fifty six year
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: old Dale Sanders was convicted of taking hundreds of thousands
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of dollars from the church's bank account and using it
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: as his own for things like gambling, going out to dinner,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: even living expenses. He now faces up to twenty years
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: behind bars and a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: He has set to be sentenced in October.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, three hundred and forty thousand dollars to be exactly. Okay,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you know what's sad about stories like this? Every time
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a pastor steals from the people who trust him, another
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: person says, See, this is why I don't trust church.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: That's the real damage. Okay, you didn't just steal Moneydal,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you stole trust. You make it harder for the past
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: out there. You know the pastors out there who are
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: clear using their gifts to be godly, Okay, who are
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: really in the position of pastor because they want to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: be of service. There are so many people who will
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: dismiss the message of God because the so called messenger
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of God keeps getting caught with their hand in the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: offering basket. Okay. I truly feel people like they'll have
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to be atheists.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: There is no way you even believe in God if
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you can get up in front of a church and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: play with our creator like this. Okay, Now, shall not steal?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Is right there? All right? Commandment number eight not to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: mention Matthew Chapter seven, verse fifteen twenty. But ware are
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: false prophets. Okay, But where a false prophets who come
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. Okay, Dale,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You're a ravenous wolf whose motives were driven by self promotion, greed,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and whether you knew it or not, you had a
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: desire to lead people away from the truth. Because you did.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: All right, there's people right now questioning their faith, probably
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: because of you. Now, the Bible says we are instructed
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to know them by their fruits. This means you cannot
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: be fooled by claims are titles our charisma. Instead, you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: must judge them by their consistent actions, long term character,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and the actual consequences of their teaching. Well, what if
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: they're actually good Okay, which clearly there was, Okay, which
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is why his congregation believed in him, which is why
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: he had the following he did. But clearly his true
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: character has been exposed. And I really don't want this
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to harm the faith of the people who attended our
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: ten fifth African Baptist church in New Orleans. Trump on
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the clues bonds for that congregation, Okay, because let's be clear,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: this isn't an indictment of religion or the church. This
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: is about one man. Dal said this, Okay. There are
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: thousands of pastors and ministers and churches doing incredible work
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: every day. They feeding people, They counseling families, they mentoring kids,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: they provide mental health resources. They're serving communities without even
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: making headlines, without even going a biral. Okay. So I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: understand how one selfish leader can make people question an institution.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But don't let it, ok don't let it make you
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: question the institution that has helped millions. All right, devil
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: get behind d all Right. I just don't understand how
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you can study the Bible, Okay, study the Good Book
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: all the time, and say, let me use this different ness, folks. Okay,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the Good Book says the love of money is the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: root of all kinds of evil? Dal, how do you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: hear that and then think to yourself, well, let me
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: go find out first hand and gambling? Black man, you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: put the church's money on a seven leg Paul, lay,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I'm counting about age sins here. Okay. If these reports
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: are accurate, you got stealing, you got greed, you got
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: love of money, you got lyon you got betrail of trust,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you got dishonesty causing others to stumble, failure of stewardship. Okay, Dale,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you didn't just break one commandment. You put together a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: greatest hitch album of sins. All right. You were you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: were treating you weren't treating the Ten Commandments like commandments, deal,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You were treating them like a checklist. But I will
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: say the church has to do better in regards to governance. Okay,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: every church should have financial oversight. If one person can
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: move three hundred and four eight thousand dollars without anybody
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: asking questions. That's not just the character problem, it's an
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: administration problem. Okay, So what have we learned here today?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: People never put your faith in a preacher more than
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the principles they preach. Okay. Human beings will disappoint you.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Institutions need accountability, and faith should never require a blind
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: trust in a person. Okay, you never put blind trust
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in a person, all right. Always remember Psalm one eighteen
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: eight through fourteen. It is better to trust in the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Lord than to put confidence in man. Please let Remy
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: mar give Dale say this the biggest.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: He huh he ha he ha, you stupid mother?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Are you dumb? Now? I will say though, I mean what,
