00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Welcome to Healing Scars with Pastor Burton. Here you'll find practical, relevant, biblical information.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:19,000
The Bible will be broken down verse by verse so that you get the full context of the scripture to better grow in your relationship with Jesus.

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Hey everybody, welcome to the Sanctuary. It's great to have you with us as always.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
And those of you who are new, turning in for the first time, hi! Thanks for joining us.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
So, some of you have been asking where I've been, what happened.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
In short, without going into too much depth here, I tore a muscle in my leg.

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
So you won't see me doing any prolonged standing for a little bit.

8
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Of course, you know, I'm back and obviously we're also recording for the podcast right now.

9
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:59,000
I'd also like to take a moment before we start to thank everyone for sharing the podcast as well.

10
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:08,000
I'll ask that you keep doing so on whatever platform it is that you listen on, whether it's YouTube, music, Spotify.

11
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000
I know we're on several, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, all that stuff.

12
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Even Apple, really I can't say how much I appreciate it. It helps us to get the word out to people all around the globe.

13
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000
And we actually do, we have people listening all around the globe, which is wonderful.

14
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:39,000
On a final note, before we get into everything, I'll remind you, we don't ask for a formal tithe or offering.

15
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:51,000
However, if you do feel it on your heart to give, we do have an account set up where you can do that at BuyMeACoffee.com forward slash healing scars.

16
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
You can also find that link on our website as well.

17
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
All right, so with all that said, let's get into the word. Let's do this.

18
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:11,000
So there's been a lot of misconception about what happens to people who don't know Jesus.

19
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,000
There are those who try to preach that they're all just damned to hell and that they have no hope.

20
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:28,000
As a matter of fact, last Friday at our veteran service, we were looking at a map that actually identified what's called red zones in the world.

21
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And these are parts of the world where there are no churches, there's no places to go and hear about the gospel, to hear about Jesus.

22
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
And essentially, there's nobody in these areas to teach of him as well.

23
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:56,000
And it's a thorn in my side because often when these types of maps and images are shown, it's with a message of no hope and just instant condemnation.

24
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:09,000
And let's face it, even where we live, there are people who don't hear the message and know nothing of Christ because of the living conditions and who they're surrounded by.

25
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Luke chapter 17 verse 2, the Bible says it would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

26
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Now, for those living in places like here in the US, it's because of worldly people choosing to keep the word from their kids and loved ones due to their own lack of faith, their own lack of understanding and their own hurt.

27
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000
You know, and that's not a good thing, especially when it comes time for judgment.

28
00:03:44,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Luckily, or I shouldn't say luckily, but fortunately for those wondering about what happens when it comes to those who don't have a relationship with Jesus, the word does indeed tell us what will happen.

29
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:11,000
And today we're going, you know, there's several places throughout the Bible, but we're actually going to be looking in the book of Romans chapter one to see this answer.

30
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,000
All right, so those of you with your apps, those of you with the Bible, you know, even if you're just taking notes, let's turn now.

31
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Let's take a look.

32
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:28,000
We're going to go to Romans chapter one, and specifically we're going to start off in verses 18 through 20.

33
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:46,000
So Romans one verses 18 through 20, the word says the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

34
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Since what may be known about God is plain to them because God has made it plain to them.

35
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:13,000
For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen being understood from what has been made so that people are without excuse.

36
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:25,000
All right, so going all the way back to Adam, God has always given man the choice to either choose him or not, right? Because he doesn't want robots. He wants us to choose. It is our choice.

37
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000
It's our own choices and it's our own actions that actually condemn us.

38
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
All right.

39
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000
A lot of people like to say the devil, you know, made me do it, you know, or or or God did it.

40
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:48,000
It's not the fact God actually loves us so much that as much as it hurts him, he lets us decide whether or not we're going to stay to go with him or if we're going to turn away.

41
00:05:48,000 --> 00:06:04,000
And it's our own selfishness, our own pride, our own desires, our own, you know, those those blinders that we put on that make us think that we can do so much better on our own that we that we should be in control of everything and that we can make whatever we want happen.

42
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:12,000
You know, you know, some people like to say, you know, when we put it out into the universe, right, which is wrong.

43
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:22,000
And we see right here right out the gate that even without knowing of Jesus, that there is enough of God and all of creation for everyone to know of him.

44
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Right.

45
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Think of it this way, even those without biblical understanding of right versus wrong. Know what right versus wrong is. They know what it is to have a conscience.

46
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Right.

47
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Now, how is it that they know right versus wrong? Well, it's because of God in all of creation.

48
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Right.

49
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
That, you know, we call it the Holy Spirit conviction.

50
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:58,000
But without even, you know, inviting the Holy Spirit into us, there is enough of God in all of creation that we can know of him and know what's right and wrong.

51
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
All right. So it backends the question.

52
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Is there ever an excuse for sin?

53
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,000
And as we see right here, that answer is clearly no.

54
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:31,000
This is why the word tells us here that for since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities and his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen being understood from what has been made so that people are without excuse.

55
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Right.

56
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:39,000
And Matthew chapter five verse 17, Jesus says, Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.

57
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
I do not.

58
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.

59
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
All right.

60
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
So this is the law of God going all the way back to the beginning.

61
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
And it's no different than today.

62
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:58,000
If you go out and you do something and you end up in court because you didn't know you were breaking the law.

63
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
What happens?

64
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
You know, do you get to go out there and be like, Oh, I didn't know I was breaking the law.

65
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000
You know, are you going to get a pass or they make, Oh, it's okay.

66
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Well, now you know, so don't do it.

67
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
You know, again, don't do it in the future and send you away.

68
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
No, you don't get a pass.

69
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
You still have to pay the penalty.

70
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Ignorance is not an excuse.

71
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:25,000
And God has seen to it that none of us, not a single one of us can feign ignorance.

72
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Plain and simple.

73
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Continuing on in Romans chapter one, verse 21 through 23, the word says, for although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him.

74
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000
But their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

75
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Even though they claim to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

76
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
All right.

77
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,000
So this speaks of people turning from God and falling into idolatry.

78
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
And we still we see a lot of this today, don't we?

79
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Nothing's changed when it comes to this.

80
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,000
People are so desperate to be in control of everything.

81
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:24,000
To be their God, to be the God of their own universe, that they create their own idols.

82
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Often making themselves into idols in the process.

83
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
And I'll give you an example.

84
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000
You know, here's a few.

85
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
You know, when somebody says, oh, I'm a Virgo.

86
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,000
So I am whatever it is that they're trying to make a claim of a Virgo is or does or how about, oh, that's my spirit animal.

87
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000
You know, lucky numbers.

88
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Wearing precious metals or gems for various reasons.

89
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Being, quote unquote, in vibe or in tune with the universe.

90
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,000
You know, dressing up as animals and other things, often in a sexual manner.

91
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000
I remember the first time I heard somebody refer to themselves as a furry.

92
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
I thought to myself, are you kidding?

93
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
What's wrong with this person?

94
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000
What in the world?

95
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,000
You know, you look at the alphabet community, you know, movement, whatever you want to call it.

96
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,000
And the evil agenda that it's pushing in the world with gender and their hateful rhetoric.

97
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
You know, they want to say, oh, it's all love.

98
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Love is love, love, love until you disagree with them.

99
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
And then they're ready to destroy you and tear you down.

100
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000
You know, all of a sudden you fall a victim of cancel culture.

101
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Right? You run that risk.

102
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000
You know, and in the process, they claim that you're the hateful one.

103
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
You know, money, power, and then some.

104
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:56,000
You know, people misrepresent God and try to twist his image into something that it's not.

105
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000
And they've gotten so good at it, Satan doesn't even have to do anything,

106
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,000
but point them in the direction he wants them to go in and just send them.

107
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
They'll do the rest of the damage on their own.

108
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Picking up back in Romans 1, verses 24 and 25, the word says,

109
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Therefore, remember every time we see therefore in the Bible,

110
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
it's saying, you know, keep in mind everything that we've got, we've covered up to this point.

111
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:33,000
So therefore, God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity

112
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

113
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,000
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served,

114
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:50,000
and created things rather than the creator who is forever praised. Amen.

115
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000
So he gave them over to their sinful desires.

116
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
So what do we see today? People, you know, they give into their desires.

117
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
You know, the whole, oh, I was made this way and all that stuff.

118
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000
You know, people are selfish, arrogant, and prideful.

119
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000
And even knowing right from wrong, they will twist things to put them into

120
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
the perspective that suits them, right?

121
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
You know, they like to say their truth, right?

122
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000
They put the spin on the narrative, just like we see in the news today.

123
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,000
You know, yet in his love for us, God allows us to choose to be independent of him.

124
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,000
And this even comes at the cost of us being lost as slaves to our own sin.

125
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,000
You know, all the more reason for us to be on guard with the things around us

126
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
and how we allow them to influence us.

127
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,000
You know, if something's really popular in the world,

128
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
that automatically should be a red flag, like, you know what?

129
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
I should take a look at this and see what the Bible has to say.

130
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000
You know, what's the word say about this? What's God telling us?

131
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Because more often than not, you can find that answer in the Bible.

132
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
You just sometimes have to do a little digging, you know.

133
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
And speaking of which, now I'm going to hit a soft spot for a lot of people.

134
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,000
As a matter of fact, this might be downright painful for some people.

135
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:20,000
There are definitely going to be some out there who do not like what I'm going to say.

136
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,000
All right, so we're going to go into Romans chapter 1, verses 26 and 27.

137
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
The word says,

138
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Because of this, God gave them over to their shameful, I'm sorry,

139
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
God gave them over to shameful lust.

140
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000
And they abandoned their women, exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

141
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,000
In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women

142
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
and were inflamed with lust for one another.

143
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Men committed shameful acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

144
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:03,000
This is a good one for those who ask about where the Bible calls out the LGB whatever lifestyle, right?

145
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
As is 1 Timothy chapter 1, verses 8 through 11.

146
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000
You know, for those who like to claim that there's nothing about women doing it, guess what?

147
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Right here, we just saw it, right?

148
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
We just read it.

149
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,000
And whether you like it or not, it is a sin.

150
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:26,000
It doesn't matter what you want to quote unquote identify as.

151
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:34,000
The fact is, God knew what he was doing and made each of us correctly.

152
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,000
He did not make a mistake.

153
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:45,000
It's each individual giving into what they allow to influence them from the world

154
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,000
and then trying to rewrite the narrative, right?

155
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:55,000
They're trying to flip the script because they don't like what they're being told not to do.

156
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
It's not God who's wrong.

157
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
If this is you and this is your sin, wake up.

158
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
This is your wake up call.

159
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
This is you in sin.

160
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
All right?

161
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
We all make sins.

162
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
I'm not saying this is any better or any worse than any others.

163
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Sin is sin, right?

164
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000
We've all fallen short.

165
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,000
So let me share with you something a lot of people in law enforcement will tell you.

166
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Matter of fact, when I wore that shield, I've said this plenty of times myself.

167
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,000
I don't make the law, but I do have to enforce the law.

168
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,000
And if God says something is wrong, then it's wrong.

169
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Whether you agree with it or not, it doesn't matter.

170
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Because your opinion on that matter, on that subject, doesn't matter.

171
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,000
When it comes to God and what he says, it is the end all be all.

172
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
When God says something, that's the bottom line.

173
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Boom.

174
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:05,000
And it is my job as a Christian to point it out.

175
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Hey, this is a sin.

176
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
I'm not passing judgment on it.

177
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
I'm just telling you what the word says.

178
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Matter of fact, so we're going to continue on though.

179
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
We could do an entire series on this.

180
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
So for time's sake, we're going to track on.

181
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
I'm going to leave it right there where it's at.

182
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
So Romans 28 through 32, the word says,

183
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God,

184
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:42,000
so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not be done.

185
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness,

186
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,000
evil, greed, and depravity.

187
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:58,000
They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice.

188
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:08,000
They are gossips, slanderers, God haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful.

189
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000
They invent ways of doing evil.

190
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
They disobey their parents.

191
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:20,000
They have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

192
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death,

193
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000
they not only continue to do these very things,

194
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:38,000
but also approve of those who practice them.

195
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Again, at the end of the day, we each make the choice as to what we're going to do.

196
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000
If we're going to follow God's word or follow our own desires, whatever they may be.

197
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:55,000
We each have it in us to resist ungodly desires.

198
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:01,000
It's not always easy, but life isn't meant to be.

199
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:08,000
And to come full circle, God has put enough of Himself into everything that we all know when we're messing up.

200
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Even those who don't know Jesus know this.

201
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:16,000
His essence in the world, like our own little Jiminy Cricket guiding our steps, right?

202
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:24,000
God's inserted enough of Himself where we have the knowledge, but without making our choices for us.

203
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
And as much as we like to say, the devil made me do it, you know, I said this earlier,

204
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
the fact is we make those decisions for ourselves.

205
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:37,000
That's the freedom God has given us and His infinite love for us.

206
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,000
You know, something we should all remember when it comes to our own families.

207
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:48,000
We're not always going to like or agree with the choices our loved ones and friends make.

208
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Sometimes we're going to downright loathe those choices.

209
00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Now, we can voice our opinion, but we need to make sure we're doing it lovingly, not forcefully.

210
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:07,000
And there's a lot of families out there hurting because of this.

211
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
You see a lot of separation, a lot of divide.

212
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000
You know, people stop talking to each other.

213
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
And the solution is in front of us.

214
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
It's right here in the Word, in the Bible.

215
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:25,000
We need to make sure that the information is present so they know what's right, what's wrong, where we stand.

216
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:33,000
But we need to make, you know, let them make the choice that they feel is needed in their life.

217
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
We can't force their way of thinking.

218
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
We don't have to agree with their decision.

219
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
We don't have to support their decision.

220
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000
But we do have to allow people to make those decisions and know that they're still loved.

221
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Jesus, just as Jesus did for us, right?

222
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
And Jesus died for all of us, for our sins, because we've all fallen short.

223
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
We've all sinned, right?

224
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:08,000
And coming back to the whole point of this, as you can clearly see, even in those areas where they don't know of Christ,

225
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:15,000
they don't have, you know, fellowships to go to, churches to go to, Bible studies to go to, all that kind of stuff,

226
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
there's still enough of God out there for them to know.

227
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Now, it is far, far better for all of us in the world to come to know Jesus and to accept Him into our lives, right?

228
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
To have a relationship with Him and acknowledge Him as our Lord, our Savior.

229
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:40,000
You know, but for those who will never have that opportunity, there's still hope for them.

230
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:50,000
It's just when they stand, you know, in the day of judgment, they won't have Jesus there with them like you and I do,

231
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,000
which is all the more reason for us to go out and answer the Great Commission and to share the Lord with others,

232
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,000
because you never know when you're going to run into that one person who doesn't actually know of Him.

233
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,000
You know, they might have heard of Him, but they don't know Him.

234
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:12,000
So it's very important, and this is why we have missionaries that go out into the world as well, right?

235
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Unfortunately, most of them don't end up in these red areas.

236
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:23,000
They go to other areas that do have an understanding, that do have access, albeit limited.

237
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:30,000
We need to support them too, but we need to also make sure that if there's a way that we can get the Word into these other areas,

238
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:39,000
these areas that are still locked in darkness, we do it, we do what we can to make sure that they can know of Jesus as well.

239
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:45,000
All right, so, you know, that's where we're at. That's our time for today.

240
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Remember, you are blessed and you are loved. Now go and be the church.
