WEBVTT100:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.000When I see a young man walkinghis girlfriend into an abortion clinic with his200:00:05.120 --> 00:00:10.470Pajama Pants on, his spongebob squarepantsPajama Pants on, that gets under my300:00:10.669 --> 00:00:17.269skin. I Am Yours, Iam yours, I am yours and welcome400:00:17.309 --> 00:00:20.510to the Gospel Center pro life podcast. In this episode we're going to talk500:00:20.550 --> 00:00:25.579about Balancing Truth and grace in prolife ministry. It's not an easy balance,600:00:25.739 --> 00:00:28.940but we believe the Bible gives ussome good principles, so stick with700:00:29.019 --> 00:00:31.940us as we talk through this.Prince Bis, Send Me, Lord,800:00:34.820 --> 00:00:47.049I felt show Passish, touch yourheart. Use Me. Welcome to the900:00:47.090 --> 00:00:53.280Gospel Center pro life podcast. Wewanted to do an episode about Balancing Truth1000:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.920and Grace when we're confronting evil,and you know, of course we're confronting1100:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.119the evil of abortion. I believeit's the biggest evil in our day and1200:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.829age that all Christians are called toconfront, and some way, shape or1300:01:04.829 --> 00:01:08.349form we're confront that on a regularbasis on the sidewalks in front of the1400:01:08.349 --> 00:01:11.549abortion clinic. Some of you guysare confront that evil and other context and1500:01:11.629 --> 00:01:15.510we appreciate that. But we wantedto talk about the balance of truth and1600:01:17.030 --> 00:01:21.219grace. We're called to speak thetruth of God's Word and we're called to1700:01:21.260 --> 00:01:25.780do it in grace. Paul saysthat we should speak the truth seasoned with1800:01:26.019 --> 00:01:29.780grace. We should speak the truthin such a way that imparts grace to1900:01:29.819 --> 00:01:32.780the here in one part. Yeah, at one point Paul says that,2000:01:33.569 --> 00:01:38.290and I believe, by God's grace, that over the years I've certainly learned2100:01:38.489 --> 00:01:42.730how to balance that. You know, it's one man said, if it's2200:01:42.769 --> 00:01:46.450all truth and no grace, youbecome a bully, if it's all grace2300:01:46.569 --> 00:01:52.000and no truth, you become acompromiser, something like that. I'm paraphrasing2400:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.319exactly. She gets some point.PITHY, catchy way to say it's good,2500:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.599but you get the point. Yeah, so we're called us to do2600:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.989both. We're called extend grace.Were called to speak truth. And again,2700:02:05.150 --> 00:02:07.870I think we've learned that. We'velearned that dynamic by, you know,2800:02:08.030 --> 00:02:14.030making the mistake of being maybe tooone way or another or hearing others.2900:02:14.189 --> 00:02:17.740Yeah, exactly. Yeah, youknow, I mentioned to you about3000:02:17.780 --> 00:02:21.419how, you know, out inthe the social media sphere and just some3100:02:21.539 --> 00:02:25.180of the circles that we run inand that we are connected to. We3200:02:25.259 --> 00:02:30.449see folks who maybe are in frontof an abortion clinic or whatever context,3300:02:30.569 --> 00:02:32.849and they're, you know, alltruth and just stand out in front and3400:02:32.889 --> 00:02:36.930just preach and doesn't matter how it'sreceived. I'm just going to come there3500:02:36.969 --> 00:02:39.370and I'm going to say abortions murder, it's wrong, it's in and you3600:02:39.409 --> 00:02:43.210know I'm not, I'm not theaccuser against that person. They're preaching the3700:02:43.289 --> 00:02:45.759truth. Okay, I get that. And then, you know, also3800:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.439see folks who, you know,it's the focus is on the women and3900:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.439the focus is on hey, youknow, I know you're a victim of4000:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.360your circumstances, almost like the womenare victims. And we've dealt with that4100:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.909subject before. Yeah, and itseems like there's somewhere in the middle,4200:03:00.990 --> 00:03:05.430like with a lot of the thingsthat we deal with, that the Lord4300:03:05.509 --> 00:03:09.030wants us to be somewhere in themiddle on that balancing right and it's it4400:03:09.189 --> 00:03:13.259is a balancing act, because Icontend to be more on the hard side4500:03:13.699 --> 00:03:15.939and more on the you know,the wrath of God, the judgment of4600:03:16.020 --> 00:03:19.180God. And again, I'm notsaying that it's wrong. We need to4700:03:19.219 --> 00:03:21.500talk about the wrath of God.We need to talk about the judgment of4800:03:21.539 --> 00:03:23.259God. We need to talk aboutHell. There are times where we need4900:03:23.340 --> 00:03:30.250to mention the impending judgment that comeson those who resist God's truth. Yeah,5000:03:30.530 --> 00:03:31.969right. So I'm certainly not againstthat and not speaking against that,5100:03:32.009 --> 00:03:37.969but the Lord has helped me tobalance out well the message and to bring5200:03:38.210 --> 00:03:43.360kind of both angles to bear tothose they're going into abortion clinics. Right5300:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.439as we were thinking about this,I was looking up some passages and just5400:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.520thinking about well, what does theBible have to say in regards to that5500:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.150balance? Yeah, and and forme it's it's not only the balance of5600:03:57.389 --> 00:04:01.469positive and negative in a sense,because there might be truths that are positive5700:04:01.509 --> 00:04:05.229truths. Yeah, but there arenegative truths. There are, you know,5800:04:05.430 --> 00:04:09.909going to hell is one of thosekind of negative truth yes, that5900:04:10.300 --> 00:04:15.139if you continue and willful disobedience,but but also the timing of when those6000:04:15.339 --> 00:04:20.019truths should be spoken. Yeah,and I think one of the greatest verses6100:04:20.139 --> 00:04:24.410in the Bible about timing is init. CLEA, she asked, he's6200:04:24.810 --> 00:04:30.329okay. That that ecclesiast these three, just the first verse is probably enough.6300:04:30.370 --> 00:04:34.089Yeah, Clesias, these three onedid you for everything there is a6400:04:34.129 --> 00:04:39.399season. Yeah, time for everymatter under heaven. Of course we know6500:04:39.519 --> 00:04:44.199that. There's been songs written aboutthat signes secular song. Another passage that6600:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.000comes to mind for me, whichI find myself quoting this a lot.6700:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.399As a matter of fact, recentlyI have quoting it to myself and to6800:04:49.519 --> 00:04:54.629others, is a proverbs you proverbsbook a wisdom gives us some just real6900:04:54.709 --> 00:04:57.790practical wisdom. Here it says inproverbs twenty seven, verse fourteen. He7000:04:58.509 --> 00:05:00.829who blesses his friend with a loudvoice, rising early in the morning,7100:05:01.310 --> 00:05:04.910it will be counted as a curseto him. And so what's that telling7200:05:04.949 --> 00:05:10.379us? Wrong time, wrong place? Listen, there can be your and7300:05:10.779 --> 00:05:15.019tone to you know, loudly right. So there might be folks that imagine7400:05:15.259 --> 00:05:19.139that. You know, I guessnot too long ago I was like this,7500:05:19.300 --> 00:05:23.410our tone doesn't matter. You know, Jesus got angry sometimes. He7600:05:23.490 --> 00:05:27.209had an angry tone sometimes, andI would justify an angry tone and angry7700:05:28.089 --> 00:05:31.930demeanor. And you scripture, butI think this scripture really confronted me in7800:05:32.050 --> 00:05:35.800this he who blesses his friend,this is a blessing. So this is7900:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.399little different. A good thing that? Yeah, it's a good thing.8000:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.120You. So you can say agood thing right, too loud, yeah,8100:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.040and at the wrong time, andit's not resist and it's not received8200:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.790very well. Imagine a bad thing. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and8300:05:49.910 --> 00:05:53.550so imagine, you know, andlisten, we go out to abortion clinics,8400:05:53.589 --> 00:05:57.389we do ministry with good intentions.We want to see God, you,8500:05:57.430 --> 00:06:00.069glorified, we want to see peoplesave their babies, we want to8600:06:00.069 --> 00:06:02.029see people turn to the Lord.Right. So we have good intentions and8700:06:02.189 --> 00:06:06.860it's a good message. We're bringingthis blessing of God's truth. But if8800:06:06.899 --> 00:06:11.420you do it in an obnoxious tonewhere you're just loud, you're just out8900:06:11.459 --> 00:06:15.459there to make noise, and youdo it at the wrong time, you9000:06:15.540 --> 00:06:17.379know, you could get yourself punchin the face. Yeah, yeah,9100:06:17.420 --> 00:06:23.649but you can also just be completelyrejected. Now balancing again. I think9200:06:23.689 --> 00:06:28.569we do have to balance, becausethere is a pragmatism that the modern church9300:06:28.689 --> 00:06:31.290is embraced where, you know,it's almost like we're willing to compromise the9400:06:31.329 --> 00:06:33.920truth of God's Word just to getpeople to hear what we have to say.9500:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.279And I'm not talking about that.But there are some practical, practically9600:06:39.399 --> 00:06:44.600wise things that we can do thatwill help us get the message across in9700:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.509a more effective way. Sure,so you know, not being obnoxious and9800:06:48.709 --> 00:06:53.870loud. Yeah, now you knowwe get loud, right, we have9900:06:53.990 --> 00:06:57.310to raise our voice across the parkinglot at the abortion clinic. We use10000:06:57.350 --> 00:07:01.819amplified sound, but we do wantto make sure our tone is inviting,10100:07:01.860 --> 00:07:05.579right. So how do you howdo you balance that? You know you10200:07:06.019 --> 00:07:10.019want to invite them to come overand talk to you, but also you're10300:07:10.100 --> 00:07:15.339not just like it's not just somethingyou might want to consider, your commanded10400:07:15.810 --> 00:07:18.170to tell people the truth. OrHow do you balance inviting them, but10500:07:18.209 --> 00:07:23.449all who telling them abortion is murdered? And that's really, at least from10600:07:23.490 --> 00:07:27.569my heart, my goal with thispodcast how to balance those two things.10700:07:27.610 --> 00:07:32.439Yeah, and of course the HolySpirit is is going to hopefully guide us10800:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.519in that. But another, anotherthing I was thinking in terms of balance10900:07:35.720 --> 00:07:43.000is exactly what what you've talked about, but also the the balance of what11000:07:43.160 --> 00:07:49.470appeared to be almost conflicting concepts thatwe're introducing out there in in on the11100:07:49.509 --> 00:07:53.589sidebox specifically, but all of usin the in the pro life movement.11200:07:54.069 --> 00:07:58.980So what I mean by that areour things like mercy, yeah, our11300:07:59.060 --> 00:08:03.540God's love, yeah, versus justiceor God's wrath. Yeah, absolutely,11400:08:03.699 --> 00:08:11.740their critical HMM. Both are issuesthat are a component of approaching an abortion11500:08:11.860 --> 00:08:18.250minded mindset. Yeah, absolutely,and hopefully confronting and altering that to be11600:08:18.410 --> 00:08:24.610more in line with what God wouldhave them do. Another one is faith11700:08:26.410 --> 00:08:33.399versus fear. Yeah, those areconflicting things. That are fear, I11800:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.279think, as a major driver towardsa bullytion. Yeah, you know,11900:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.279we wrote an article about fear,about the fear, the spirit of fear12000:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.789that many women come to an abortionclinic, that they're under, and how12100:08:43.870 --> 00:08:48.309we, you know, contradict thatwith faith, right, bring the truth12200:08:48.389 --> 00:08:52.149of what God's Word says rather thanthe fear that the flesh, the world12300:08:52.190 --> 00:08:54.740and the enemy bring to bear.Yeah, but but you know, in12400:08:56.860 --> 00:09:01.820to the abortion minded woman, theobstacles that are raising, that fear is12500:09:01.940 --> 00:09:07.700very real to her. Absolutely,and so that's an important thing for us12600:09:07.779 --> 00:09:13.009to recognize as how do we addresswhat is in many cases, realistically causing12700:09:13.049 --> 00:09:18.730fear and help them to refocus onfaith, yeah, which is going to12800:09:18.809 --> 00:09:22.289drive a better decision, more godlydecision. Right. And then a third12900:09:22.610 --> 00:09:31.840area that I was thinking about wasenemies of God becoming enemies of God through13000:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.840our actions, hum and and ourbeliefs, or becoming friends of God.13100:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.710Yeah, are we friends of God? And again I think that's very relevant.13200:09:39.750 --> 00:09:43.710Yeah, at the at the abortioncenter, but in the pro life13300:09:43.750 --> 00:09:50.269movement, just when we're confronting theevil of abortion, both can be true.13400:09:50.350 --> 00:09:56.179Yeah, an unrepentant person and willfuldisobedience with God has become his enemy13500:09:56.220 --> 00:10:00.779and that probably needs to be expressed. Yeah, and that that would be13600:10:00.779 --> 00:10:05.700similar in the justice wrath versus them. Ye, see. Yeah, and13700:10:05.340 --> 00:10:11.490you know, as believers, justbecause we have a certain disposition to be13800:10:11.850 --> 00:10:15.450maybe more inclined, you know,be maybe be more of the, for13900:10:15.450 --> 00:10:18.690lack of a better term, theprophetic type that want to just deliver the14000:10:18.769 --> 00:10:20.370mail. You know, it saidthe prophets. They just deliver the mail.14100:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.120They don't care how it's open.You know where the open and or14200:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.639not. You know, on evangelistor or pastoral sort of heart wants to14300:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.039wants to help you open the mail, you know, to help you LNG14400:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.840through. And so balance in thatis important. And again, I think14500:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.830I've mentioned I'm sort of on theprophetic side. I want to bring the14600:10:37.549 --> 00:10:43.870the judgment of God and understanding really, you know, once we grab the14700:10:43.909 --> 00:10:46.350reality, once it gets in ourhearts, the reality of what's going on14800:10:46.509 --> 00:10:50.179inside of that abortion clinic, wecan justify a lot of things that we14900:10:50.340 --> 00:10:54.179say. But, you know,on the other end of the spectrum is15000:10:54.620 --> 00:11:00.019again the the the mercy and theposition of mercy and kindness. To the15100:11:00.179 --> 00:11:01.100point, you know, I've seenpeople, and I know you seen it15200:11:01.220 --> 00:11:05.210too, they will call out toa woman going into an abortion clinic,15300:11:05.570 --> 00:11:07.490you know, if you do this, God'll forgive you, and it's like15400:11:09.649 --> 00:11:11.690that's Yo, that's that's not whatwe should be saying either. You know,15500:11:11.730 --> 00:11:13.850I don't think you should be sayingyou know, if you do this,15600:11:15.009 --> 00:11:18.009God's going to put you in hell. I don't know that that's what15700:11:18.090 --> 00:11:20.639I want them to hear going intothe door. And I don't want them15800:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.360to hear if you do this,God'll forgive you. Yeah, you know,15900:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.879actually both of those statements are havesome truth to them, right.16000:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.480That's right. I mean's that's theapparent country. Yeah, and and,16100:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.070but it's based on on what,what their choices are, exactly? Yeah,16200:11:33.110 --> 00:11:37.230where their faith and supultimately, yeah, ultimately, and does yeah,16300:11:37.230 --> 00:11:39.429I mean if they have an abortionwill God forgive them? Well, we16400:11:39.590 --> 00:11:45.389talked about forgiveness in in a previouspodcast and certainly we need to be talking16500:11:45.429 --> 00:11:48.940about forgiveness. But God won't forgivethem if they don't repent, if they16600:11:48.980 --> 00:11:52.460don't truly turn to Jesus. Yeah, so you know, since that's true16700:11:52.500 --> 00:11:54.899and it's not true. Will Godput them in Hell? Well, if16800:11:54.940 --> 00:11:58.740they don't repent, yes, hewill, but he will not if they16900:11:58.779 --> 00:12:01.179do repent, but they're trust inhim. So it's you know, what17000:12:01.379 --> 00:12:05.529balances these two things? What balancesthese two things is the word of God.17100:12:05.690 --> 00:12:09.929Yeah, and and US bringing sourcefrom our lips to their hearts.17200:12:09.970 --> 00:12:15.090Bringing a message that's balanced requires forus to humble ourselves in some areas.17300:12:15.129 --> 00:12:18.279You know I've had to humble myselvesand myself in some areas, especially dealing17400:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.600with the men. I mean itirks me to no end. Let me17500:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.000let me stay. When I seea young man, MMM walking his girlfriend17600:12:26.039 --> 00:12:31.070into an abortion clinic with his PajamaPants on, his spongebob squarepants but Jama17700:12:31.190 --> 00:12:35.950Pants on, that gets under myskin. I want to go over there17800:12:35.029 --> 00:12:39.149and thump him in the head andsay, be a man, you're not17900:12:39.429 --> 00:12:41.470here. You know, I wantto call out his manhood, right,18000:12:41.549 --> 00:12:45.860and that's that's man. It justgets me and I want to bring to18100:12:45.980 --> 00:12:48.299bear the wrath of God and tellhim he's destined for Hell, you know,18200:12:48.419 --> 00:12:52.539and give him revelation. Twe Eightall cowards were find their part in18300:12:52.580 --> 00:12:56.740the lake of fire, right,and I've done that and I'm not said,18400:12:56.779 --> 00:13:00.490I'm not saying that that's wrong.But if I do it in just18500:13:00.610 --> 00:13:03.929an angry tone, about guaranteed it'sgoing to be received and going to be18600:13:05.090 --> 00:13:07.250reciprocated in an angry tone. Youknow, we say in our trainings your18700:13:07.330 --> 00:13:11.769tone will set the tone. Ifyou have an angry tone, then you18800:13:11.289 --> 00:13:16.519expect to get angry responses from people. Exactly exactly. She need wisdom.18900:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.440Yeah, absolutely, how to approachthis issue? And and where do we19000:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.919I guess that's a good place tostart. Well, where do we get?19100:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.759Yeah, where do we watch thegreat that's a great version there is19200:13:26.629 --> 00:13:30.350about here. Well, you know, proverbs is the book of Wisdom,19300:13:30.389 --> 00:13:33.429right, and I had been doingfor our sidewalk counselors here locally, which19400:13:33.429 --> 00:13:35.350I kind of dropped off on thisand the need to start back what I've19500:13:35.389 --> 00:13:41.190called wisdom for the sidewalk. Justdoing a little five minute video for our19600:13:41.230 --> 00:13:43.700sidewalk counselors to encourage them from thebook of proverbs, because I've learned a19700:13:43.740 --> 00:13:48.059lot from the book of proverbs.Proverbs has really got in my in my19800:13:48.299 --> 00:13:52.019mess and and help me to sortthrough some of that stuff. You know19900:13:52.179 --> 00:13:56.850some proverbs. There's a proverb thatsays it's honorable for a man to stop20000:13:56.889 --> 00:14:01.809striving, to stop trying to starta fight, because any fool can start20100:14:01.850 --> 00:14:07.929a quarrel. Not really got ininto my my business some years ago because,20200:14:07.129 --> 00:14:09.970you know, as man we don'twant to back down from a fight.20300:14:09.970 --> 00:14:11.200And we're in front of an abortionclinic and we're calling out a man.20400:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.039He's walking his girlfriend in with aspongebob squarepants Pajama Pants on, you20500:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.080know, and it's like Ah,and I want to just hit him hard.20600:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.159Yeah, and I'm starting, basicallygoing to start a fight with this20700:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.429guy because I'm to call it hismanhood and the Bible says, you know20800:14:26.509 --> 00:14:30.269what, I don't need to bestarting fights with people. I need to20900:14:30.350 --> 00:14:33.870be sharing the truth of God's Wordand letting the Holy Spirit do his job.21000:14:35.110 --> 00:14:37.269That's just to bring conviction. It'snot my job to bring conviction,21100:14:37.350 --> 00:14:43.139to call out their man. Theirman could write their manhood and take their21200:14:43.179 --> 00:14:46.779man card from them. It's theholy spirits job to bring conviction. So21300:14:46.899 --> 00:14:48.500one of these things that we need, that we're going to be talking about,21400:14:48.539 --> 00:14:52.820is trust in the Holy Spirit todo his work right, not only21500:14:52.889 --> 00:14:56.289in them but in us. Yeah, absolutely, US, the wisdom and21600:14:56.370 --> 00:14:58.769the guidance and how we deal witheach of these issues. So maybe we21700:14:58.850 --> 00:15:03.409could get into some practical yeah versusand in in each of the major I21800:15:03.529 --> 00:15:07.879think we had three major areas thatare apparent dichotomies, and I use the21900:15:07.919 --> 00:15:13.039word a parent because they never aretruly let they're not contradictions rival it's,22000:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.039like you said, there's a and, like ecclesiast he says, they at22100:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.389assert at the proper time and place. Each of these concepts are appropriated,22200:15:22.669 --> 00:15:28.990absolutely important to be expressed. Sothe first one is mercy or love.22300:15:28.389 --> 00:15:33.509Yes, love versus justice or thewrath of God. Yeah, those who22400:15:33.549 --> 00:15:39.259are they're murdering their children. Yeah, so how do we know when and22500:15:39.460 --> 00:15:45.059how much love to speak or mercyto speak and how much to express?22600:15:45.500 --> 00:15:48.659Hey, you're in danger of bringingthe wrath of God on you and you22700:15:48.860 --> 00:15:54.450really do not want that to happen. Yeah, and again there's those two22800:15:54.570 --> 00:16:00.049truths are biblical realities and both needto be stated right. Yeah, I22900:16:00.210 --> 00:16:03.769believe that they do. You know, there's a there's a scripture, and23000:16:03.889 --> 00:16:07.360this is comes from the book ofIsaiah, but it's quoted also in Matthew23100:16:07.440 --> 00:16:12.799Chapter Twelve, which I'll read justreal quick. It's first twenty. So23200:16:12.919 --> 00:16:17.879Matthew Twelve in verse twenty, andit says a bruise read. This is23300:16:17.919 --> 00:16:21.909talking about Jesus, a bruise read. He will not break in a smoking23400:16:22.029 --> 00:16:26.590flax. He will not quench tillhe sends forth justice to victory, and23500:16:26.149 --> 00:16:30.230in his name gentiles will trust.And I won't break down all of that,23600:16:30.309 --> 00:16:33.340but basically that point with a bruisedread, he will not break,23700:16:33.379 --> 00:16:37.940a smoking flax, he will notquench. And that scripture some years ago23800:16:37.059 --> 00:16:40.740struck my heart. Is You know, if people are already broken, if23900:16:40.740 --> 00:16:44.620they're already bruised, if they're alreadyhumbled, then you don't need to humble24000:16:44.659 --> 00:16:48.929them further. Yeah, you know, read comfort in his teaching about sharing24100:16:48.970 --> 00:16:51.929the Gospel. He's talking about lawto the proud and grace to the humble.24200:16:52.090 --> 00:16:55.490The law humbles people, but ifthey're already humbled, you know.24300:16:55.529 --> 00:16:59.049So if I see a mom goingin and she's got tears in her eyes24400:16:59.090 --> 00:17:03.000and she's obviously overcome with the shameof what she's about to do, the24500:17:03.119 --> 00:17:07.480conviction of what she's about to do, probably not going to yell out to24600:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.079her you're going to hell if youdo this. Probably not going to do24700:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.319that, right. Probably not goingto yell out to her abortion is murder.24800:17:12.319 --> 00:17:15.750I'm probably going to try to compelher to come over and talk to24900:17:15.869 --> 00:17:18.190one of the ladies on the sidewalk. He will here to offer help.25000:17:18.589 --> 00:17:22.309You don't have to do this.I might speak in in just terms that25100:17:22.349 --> 00:17:26.390are going to impart grace to her. You can be a mother, you25200:17:26.509 --> 00:17:29.109can do the things that it takesto be a mother for this child.25300:17:29.390 --> 00:17:30.420You can do it. You know, I'll speak those, I guess,25400:17:30.539 --> 00:17:34.539you know, positive truths to her. Yeah, because she's already broken.25500:17:34.779 --> 00:17:37.619Right. You know, same wayif a woman's coming out after she had25600:17:37.700 --> 00:17:41.819the abortion and our heart is brokenand she's got tears in her eyes,25700:17:41.859 --> 00:17:45.849and we see that a lot,where they come out and you know they25800:17:45.890 --> 00:17:48.009go in they're not here. They'renot one to talk to us. They're25900:17:48.089 --> 00:17:52.609they're got their middle finger up orwhatever, and then they come out in26000:17:52.650 --> 00:17:56.890their hearts are broken. I'M NOTgonna I'm not going to add in soul26100:17:56.970 --> 00:17:59.240to injury, as as they say. I'm not going to kick her while26200:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.279she's down. I want to sharewith her about the mercy. Now I26300:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.599will say, Hey, you gotto recognize that you've taken the life of26400:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.799your baby, but there's a Godin Heaven Who's merciful if you would turn26500:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.680to him. So I'm going to. I'm going to offer the mercy of26600:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.109God. That's going to be themost pronounced thing that I'm going to be26700:18:15.230 --> 00:18:18.630talking about in that situation. Yeah, so the Holy Spirit and you're just26800:18:18.750 --> 00:18:23.589common sense as guided you into whichapproach is most effective for that bruised read.26900:18:23.710 --> 00:18:27.099Yeah. And on the other hand, and we've all seen the moms27000:18:27.140 --> 00:18:32.460that walk in giving us the finger, swearing up a storm, saying they27100:18:32.539 --> 00:18:34.500don't want they they want to goto hell. As long as they won't27200:18:34.539 --> 00:18:38.819be anywhere where we might be,you know that we're going to approach them27300:18:38.900 --> 00:18:44.569differently. I'm afraid that it forthem, I would be less likely to27400:18:44.890 --> 00:18:48.890begin with a softer, more positivemessage, and I might go I often27500:18:48.970 --> 00:18:55.720will say, you don't my God, you're in danger when you're mocking God.27600:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.359This is not funny, and youknow, I'll I'll, I'll be27700:18:59.680 --> 00:19:06.640harshare probably yeah it in general,like you said, I would rather begin27800:19:07.039 --> 00:19:11.710with a positive message, but thereare some people that will just laugh that27900:19:11.869 --> 00:19:15.990off. Their hearts are so hardand the Holy Spirit reveals that to us28000:19:15.029 --> 00:19:19.910and sometimes it's just caps it,it's just it's just so up and you28100:19:19.950 --> 00:19:23.859know, there is this dynamic ofthat. It's kind of a human mechanism28200:19:25.380 --> 00:19:30.180sometimes for them to use, laughingit off, mocking and that's that sort28300:19:30.180 --> 00:19:33.059of stuff to kind of really coverup the conviction that they're feeling. You28400:19:33.099 --> 00:19:34.059know, most of the time.I think it was John Wesley that said28500:19:34.220 --> 00:19:37.859you know, I'd rather have people, you know, he's preaching in England.28600:19:37.900 --> 00:19:40.490He's having a lot of opposition,of course, a lot of good28700:19:40.569 --> 00:19:44.089fruit to you'd say. I'd ratherhave people yelling and screaming, spitting at28800:19:44.130 --> 00:19:45.690me than people that are just ignoringme, because at least I know they're28900:19:45.690 --> 00:19:49.170hearing yeah, and and and Iknow that that yeah, when we see29000:19:49.250 --> 00:19:52.440that we see people going into theabortion centers and some of them are mocking,29100:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.680some of them want to come outand tell us what for and how.29200:19:57.079 --> 00:20:00.519It's kind of a gaze, though, that they're here. And,29300:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.680as you know, last Saturday,better of fact, friend see one of29400:20:03.720 --> 00:20:08.150our volunteers out there and she wasusing the the megaphone and reaching this one29500:20:08.190 --> 00:20:11.910lady and for a little bit thatlady was just sitting there at her car.29600:20:11.309 --> 00:20:15.349Didn't seem like she was hearing,and then she started yelling back at29700:20:15.430 --> 00:20:18.390France, seeing some things and sayingsome not so nice things and fancying,29800:20:18.470 --> 00:20:21.460hey, that's a good gage.At least I know she can hear me,29900:20:21.660 --> 00:20:23.579because the pro abortion people are blastingmusic, trying to drown us out,30000:20:23.859 --> 00:20:26.539and she's like that's really encouraging.You could hear me. You know,30100:20:26.660 --> 00:20:30.700yeah, she was hearing, shewas responding. She didn't respond positively,30200:20:32.779 --> 00:20:34.730and so you know, this iswhere, you know, for us30300:20:34.970 --> 00:20:40.650as believers in Jesus will, wereally need to be constantly in the word,30400:20:40.890 --> 00:20:45.329constantly in fellowship with God, becausesometimes he can help you see through30500:20:45.410 --> 00:20:48.970some of that. Sometimes it's justthey're just prideful and they're just angry sometimes30600:20:48.009 --> 00:20:52.880it's just a covering for brokenness that'sthere, and the Lord can help us30700:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.279to sort through that. Yeah,that sort of stuff. And this verse30800:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.359from James Thirteen, I think,guide you when you really are a little30900:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.829bit unsure. Yeah, which doI show? Yeah, her see,31000:21:04.269 --> 00:21:08.069judge men help me hear the HolySpirit. He gives us this verse.31100:21:08.190 --> 00:21:11.390That, I think is a greatverse. Yeah, and I'll ready.31200:21:11.430 --> 00:21:17.750Here's change to thirteen. Right,for judgment is without mercy to the one31300:21:17.789 --> 00:21:22.940who shows no mercy. Mercy triumphsover judgment. Mercy triumphs over judgment.31400:21:22.980 --> 00:21:26.859Yeah, and that speaks, ofcourse, to you know, I think31500:21:26.940 --> 00:21:32.420first and foremost, God's disposition towardlost human beings. You know, is31600:21:32.740 --> 00:21:37.650is it true that every human beingdeserves the judgment and the wrath of God?31700:21:37.769 --> 00:21:41.970Yeah, we all deserve the wrathof God. There is none good.31800:21:42.210 --> 00:21:45.210No, not one. We've allsinned and fallen short of the glory31900:21:45.250 --> 00:21:48.319of God. If God were totake us all out right now and put32000:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.039us all inhale, we'd be hecan perfectly justified this, because it's what32100:21:52.119 --> 00:21:57.240we deserve. Yeah, but God'sdisposition toward lost humanity is one of mercy.32200:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.549Mercy triumphs over judgment. The scripturesays God is not delight that even32300:22:03.589 --> 00:22:07.349the wicked should perish. Right,and and so God's position, God's disposition32400:22:07.630 --> 00:22:12.390toward humanity, is one of mercy. He desires mercy, but he's also,32500:22:12.430 --> 00:22:15.740of course, a got of justice. Yeah, yes, so,32600:22:15.819 --> 00:22:19.339I can't. I think the thepractical takeaway of that one is, if32700:22:19.460 --> 00:22:25.259you're unsure, always mercy. Yeah, it's important, but don't be afraid32800:22:25.460 --> 00:22:30.690to share the truth of God's judgment, because if there is only mercy extended32900:22:30.930 --> 00:22:36.210and people truly don't have a senseof the weight, the waitingness of what33000:22:36.289 --> 00:22:41.329they're doing, the the and howGod's judgment will fall upon them, yeah,33100:22:41.450 --> 00:22:45.640then you're not truly showing love tothem because, yeah, you may33200:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.519be merciful in them into Hell.Yeah, I mean, I guess the33300:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.240picture an analogy that I've used before. You know, if someone's headed off33400:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.799a cliff and they can't see it, but you're standing from a perspective they're33500:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.950not and you can see the cliff. You know, you could yell out33600:23:00.990 --> 00:23:04.109to him Nice things and you cantalk positive things to him. Hey,33700:23:04.109 --> 00:23:07.470you know, you're walking real nicethere. You know, I don't want33800:23:07.509 --> 00:23:10.670to. Don't want to trip youup and I don't want to take you33900:23:10.789 --> 00:23:14.420away from what you're from your pleasurablewalk. Right, right, yeah,34000:23:14.619 --> 00:23:17.900but you need other direction. There'ssome beautiful trees. Yeah, trying to34100:23:17.940 --> 00:23:19.900convince them to get in the otherdirection because there's beautiful trees. I mean34200:23:19.940 --> 00:23:22.180sometimes you need to raise your voiceand say, Hey, you're headed toward34300:23:22.220 --> 00:23:26.769a cliff, you're going towards destruction. Yeah, but again, I think34400:23:26.970 --> 00:23:32.049your tone could matter in that,because you certainly don't want to frighten them34500:23:32.289 --> 00:23:34.609so that they speed up all themore. You know exactly want to try34600:23:34.650 --> 00:23:38.170to invite them to hey, yeah, how about not going toward that way?34700:23:38.650 --> 00:23:42.279Is a balance, and I thinkthe Holy Spirit definitely will help us34800:23:42.319 --> 00:23:45.559to strike that balance in a waythat honors the Lord. Yeah, the34900:23:47.240 --> 00:23:52.799the second area, which is adichotomy in terms of we one is a35000:23:52.920 --> 00:23:57.430negative and one of is a positive, is faith versus fear. Yeah,35100:23:57.470 --> 00:24:03.029in the light of obstacles. Sothese MOMS have real obstacles. We may35200:24:03.069 --> 00:24:06.710not agree with them right, thatthey're never a justification. They never in35300:24:06.990 --> 00:24:10.619Chile, right. We never agreethat that those should lead to the death35400:24:10.660 --> 00:24:12.740of a child, but the fearis very real, very powerful, and35500:24:12.819 --> 00:24:18.700sometimes there are stories that do seem, from a human standpoint, absolutely unstoppable.35600:24:18.819 --> 00:24:22.099Yeah, absolutely. I mean,listen, I've had stories, I35700:24:22.180 --> 00:24:25.049think you've shared this to you,where you're dealing with a couple or you're35800:24:25.089 --> 00:24:27.809dealing with a mom and she sharesher story and you're thinking like okay,35900:24:27.930 --> 00:24:33.450if there ever was a justification forfor abortion, yeah, this is it,36000:24:33.730 --> 00:24:36.930right. I mean we never,never justify that, but yeah,36100:24:36.930 --> 00:24:38.720you just think in your mind it'slike, okay, they really are facings36200:24:38.799 --> 00:24:44.000and tough stuff cool. And soyou know, on one hand, some36300:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.359a pro life counselor who is tryingto reach an abortion minded woman cannot just36400:24:48.720 --> 00:24:56.470dismiss right ears and made make themfeel on heard, invalidated. Those fears36500:24:56.509 --> 00:25:02.470are real to them. Yeah,but on the other hand you don't want36600:25:02.470 --> 00:25:07.380them living in that place of fear. Right. You want to refocus on36700:25:07.500 --> 00:25:14.700the only place where they will findtruth and hope and truly a mind change,36800:25:14.740 --> 00:25:18.259yeah, towards life, and that'sin the Lord faith, absolutely faith,36900:25:18.299 --> 00:25:22.970yea submitting their life to God.So the balance there is is learning37000:25:23.730 --> 00:25:29.130how to listen and make sure theyfeel heard, that their fears are recognized,37100:25:30.089 --> 00:25:34.210but they're the fears are not whatshould drive the decision. Yeah,37200:25:34.650 --> 00:25:41.799and so one of refocusing their attention. I'll give a short story that that37300:25:42.000 --> 00:25:48.880happened today and then maybe you couldtalk about the the verses from Matthew about37400:25:48.200 --> 00:25:51.910you. You're walking on the water, which I think really is a great37500:25:52.190 --> 00:25:57.630illustration of what we're talking about.But today there was a couple that stopped37600:25:57.950 --> 00:26:02.589to talk with me and they werevery kind and very polite and they had37700:26:02.630 --> 00:26:10.259a beautiful little child in the backseat and they listened to me and said37800:26:10.299 --> 00:26:14.660that they they knew that God wouldnot have them do what they were about.37900:26:14.660 --> 00:26:17.420To talk to them. I rememberseeing you have the ready talking to38000:26:17.460 --> 00:26:19.289them car side. Yeah, andyou were talking to them at least ten38100:26:19.690 --> 00:26:25.170yeah, I talked with them along time and and they they said they38200:26:25.210 --> 00:26:30.089believed in God, they knew abortionwas wrong, they knew that the child38300:26:30.329 --> 00:26:33.480was a human being in the womband they knew that they would love that38400:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.160that child as much as they lovedthe little baby in the back seat and38500:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.119they were such good parents to thebaby in the back seat. And I38600:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.119said, well, what is drivingthis? Why do you feel this is38700:26:44.240 --> 00:26:47.269what you need to do, andthey said the coronavirus. They both were38800:26:47.309 --> 00:26:49.509laid off from their job. Theywere already struggling. Yeah, and now38900:26:49.549 --> 00:26:55.589they had zero income and a landlordwho is not willing to help, and39000:26:56.470 --> 00:27:00.579so that fear had to be addressed, and that was a legitimate yeah here,39100:27:00.859 --> 00:27:03.940I mean you can just shirk thatoff. I mean think about how39200:27:03.940 --> 00:27:07.500that conversation would go if you said, let's notice the reason to murder child.39300:27:07.539 --> 00:27:10.819Turn turn your eyes on Jesus.Yeah, exactly go and be well,39400:27:11.059 --> 00:27:15.890yeah, be warring too. Exactlyso. And I think that that39500:27:17.130 --> 00:27:21.809situation is not uncommon. Maybe notquite as dire as their's, but it's39600:27:21.890 --> 00:27:26.210not uncommon. In fact, Iwould say every single time we confront an39700:27:26.210 --> 00:27:33.200abortion minded woman, there is somethingfueling some fear of some sort fueling her39800:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.480decision. The fear might be selfishness, it may be the fear and giving39900:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.559enough person, but but nonetheless thather eyes are on the obstacle, her40000:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.789fears, rather than on faith.Yea. And so the Peter Passage.40100:27:45.990 --> 00:27:49.230Yeah, so a lot of youguys know this passage where you or the40200:27:49.269 --> 00:27:52.069disciples are in a boat and Jesustells them to go on the other side40300:27:52.069 --> 00:27:55.829of the Sea of Galilee. Theygo on the boat. Storm rises up.40400:27:56.630 --> 00:28:00.259Jesus courses on the mountain side praying. When he sends them out,40500:28:00.420 --> 00:28:03.299the storm raises up. They thinkthey're going to die. They see Jesus40600:28:03.420 --> 00:28:07.819walking on the water. Peter says, you know, is afraid first,40700:28:07.819 --> 00:28:11.980and Jesus says was don't be afraid, it's me. Peter says, well,40800:28:11.059 --> 00:28:14.849it's you. Lord. Then didn'tcommanded me to come out, and40900:28:14.930 --> 00:28:17.890so he commands him, Jesus.Jesus Commands Peter to come out. Peter41000:28:18.009 --> 00:28:22.009Walks out on the water and he'swalking on the water, yeah, until41100:28:22.009 --> 00:28:25.170he starts looking at the wind andthe waves around him. Then he starts41200:28:25.250 --> 00:28:27.000to sink. The Lord reaches out, grabs him and saves him. But41300:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.799the point is, you know,once he takes his eyes off of Jesus41400:28:30.359 --> 00:28:34.039faith, yeah, he starts togive, give into the realm of fear.41500:28:34.359 --> 00:28:37.279And where does he do? Hebegins to sink under the water.41600:28:37.400 --> 00:28:42.150And that is for for many ofus as believers, we can fall into41700:28:42.190 --> 00:28:47.029that. Yeah, but these motherswere they're already sinking a lot of times.41800:28:47.069 --> 00:28:48.990They've already taken their eyes because manyof them do say they believe in41900:28:49.069 --> 00:28:52.190the Lord, of course, youknow, obviously we would question whether they42000:28:52.230 --> 00:28:56.180have a weird relationship with him ifthey're coming to an abortion. Well,42100:28:56.220 --> 00:29:00.619I hear them say, yes,I believe in God, but but yeah,42200:29:00.619 --> 00:29:03.940there's the by and something. Isay, put your butt in the42300:29:03.980 --> 00:29:07.380way of God. Don't do that. Trust in the Lord. Don't put42400:29:07.380 --> 00:29:10.970your button away, right. Butyeah, we get that. And you42500:29:11.089 --> 00:29:15.329know, if we're honest as areas believers who you know? I feel42600:29:15.329 --> 00:29:18.569like I'm pretty serious about God,right, and feel like you are too.42700:29:18.650 --> 00:29:21.609Yeah, sometimes we put our buttin the way. Sometimes we take42800:29:21.609 --> 00:29:26.599our eyes off of the Lord andput our eyes on the circumstances around us.42900:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.160Look at what we what we're facinghere in this nation, with the43000:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.640coronavirus scare and all of that.People are you know, I trust you,43100:29:33.759 --> 00:29:36.480Lord, but right, so Ineed to go by, you know,43200:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.630could jillion rolls a toilet paper oryou know, all this stuff.43300:29:40.630 --> 00:29:42.789I mean there's a nice connection there, right, and some of our butts43400:29:42.789 --> 00:29:48.549are bigger. That is that isthe case. It seems. It seems43500:29:48.630 --> 00:29:52.779so. Yeah, but you know, it's not that. There are there43600:29:52.859 --> 00:29:57.339isn't practical wisdom and all of thatstuff involved in that. But sometimes we43700:29:57.420 --> 00:30:00.619do put our butt in the wayof faith. Yeah, yeah, and43800:30:00.779 --> 00:30:04.460we get called in the realmos sinkand when we put our and so that43900:30:04.700 --> 00:30:11.450that that ability to again validate thefears that they're real. You understand,44000:30:11.809 --> 00:30:17.490we've heard them, but when youput your eyes on Jesus, that that's44100:30:17.529 --> 00:30:19.369what we're commanded to do. There'sso many verses we won't go through them44200:30:19.410 --> 00:30:22.680all, but there's so many versesthat tell us keep your eyes on,44300:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.119yeah, on the Lord. Yeah, the the command I think we mentioned44400:30:26.160 --> 00:30:32.119in the coronavirus podcast we did,the command to fear not. Is the44500:30:32.240 --> 00:30:37.589most commanded command. Yeah, ifyou will, in the Bible and God44600:30:37.710 --> 00:30:41.710calls us to fear not. Sowhen we're a side wall counselors, we're44700:30:41.710 --> 00:30:45.710speaking of those situations, we've gotto come from a perspective of faith.44800:30:45.869 --> 00:30:48.390Then one of the things that wecan do, this is something I encourage44900:30:48.390 --> 00:30:51.380you guys with, whether you're,you know, ministering or pregnancy center with45000:30:51.500 --> 00:30:55.180your ministering on the sidewalk, whetheryou're just speaking about pro life issues in45100:30:55.220 --> 00:31:00.500general, is sharing stories of God'sfaithfulness, sharing what you've seen God do45200:31:00.700 --> 00:31:03.890in your life, sharing what you'veseen God do and other people's lives.45300:31:03.970 --> 00:31:08.049We can share so many stories inthose, you know, are quotes,45400:31:08.130 --> 00:31:14.490impossible situations we've encounter the sidewalk.Yeah, we've seen God do some amazing45500:31:14.529 --> 00:31:18.640things. Yeah. So we havereason to believe that God is faithful.45600:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.920First and foremost, we have hisword that says he is, but also45700:31:22.000 --> 00:31:27.160we have these experiences and these storiesthat we can share where God has come45800:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.440through. Yeah. So with thatcouple, I know you you share and45900:31:30.519 --> 00:31:34.630you can share all of what Godhas done and what God you've seen God46000:31:34.869 --> 00:31:40.430do in situations similar to theirs.Yeah, they ultimately it bulls down to46100:31:40.549 --> 00:31:44.869the fact that there's no situation thatjustifies murdering a child. And we keep46200:31:44.950 --> 00:31:47.579that as a standard, right,because God's Word is the standard. And46300:31:48.980 --> 00:31:53.619in a sense that we said wevalidate those fears. We do, I46400:31:53.700 --> 00:31:57.380guess we give some legitimacy to thosefears to say you actually hold to those46500:31:57.380 --> 00:32:00.490fears. But listen, there's aGod that you need to consider in the46600:32:00.529 --> 00:32:05.529midst of those fears, who saysfear not bringing that truth to bear and46700:32:05.609 --> 00:32:09.690sharing stories where you seen God's faithfulnessis a powerful way to speak faith in46800:32:10.170 --> 00:32:15.369to those fears. Yeah, andultimately, that is of everything that we46900:32:15.490 --> 00:32:17.359do. That, as I wouldsay, the most important thing that that47000:32:17.559 --> 00:32:22.240we do as people who are intercedingfor the unborn. Yeah, is to47100:32:22.319 --> 00:32:28.000remind people that there is a greatGod who loves the family, who knows47200:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.789that baby and has known that babybefore he was born. Yeah, and47300:32:31.109 --> 00:32:34.630that's who we need to put ourtrust in, our faith in. Yeah.47400:32:34.670 --> 00:32:37.990Absolutely. So, you know,basically, what we wanted to bring47500:32:38.029 --> 00:32:44.339to you guys attention just in recordingthis podcast and encourage you guys with is47600:32:44.420 --> 00:32:49.059that there is a balance of,yes, bringing the truth that God is47700:32:49.099 --> 00:32:52.940a god of justice, but alsobringing the truth that God is a god47800:32:52.980 --> 00:32:57.099of mercy, that we are too, as ministers of the Gospel, bring47900:32:57.299 --> 00:33:00.289the truth, to bring the grace, to bring them mercy, to bring48000:33:00.450 --> 00:33:06.289the wrath and these these truths togetherin a beautiful picture of who our God48100:33:06.609 --> 00:33:10.450is. He is a just God, he is a loving God, he48200:33:10.650 --> 00:33:15.839is a god of Wrath, heis a patient God. and to bring48300:33:15.960 --> 00:33:20.480those things, those truths, tobear, to bring a balanced message of48400:33:20.640 --> 00:33:24.640this God, of his Gospel andof his view of these MOMS and their48500:33:24.680 --> 00:33:30.150babies right and it does take usgetting in the word. It does take48600:33:30.190 --> 00:33:36.309us being in prayer and seeking Godfor his heart for these these babies and48700:33:36.470 --> 00:33:38.750for these these women. We ministerout of the heart of God. Will48800:33:38.829 --> 00:33:42.539never going to miss it. We'regoing to get it right. It's just48900:33:42.660 --> 00:33:44.980hard to minister out of the heartof God and not to get at her49000:33:45.019 --> 00:33:47.500own flesh.
