00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.320
Real Life presents the Jack Kibb's podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth,

2
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.960
equip the saints and impact our culture.

3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:21.280
It's a serious day when the gospel's been ejected for social argumentation that we're

4
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:23.200
not going to preach Christ anymore.

5
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:28.840
What we're going to wind up doing is talking about either a black lives matter or social

6
00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:33.480
justice or all these things cloaked in the pulpit.

7
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:38.320
The only answer to black lives matter in social justice is the gospel.

8
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:42.520
And when you depart from the gospel, you go down the path of falsehood.

9
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:44.040
You're on the wrong path.

10
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:47.880
It's the wrong path.

11
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:54.280
You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackkibb's.com slash podcast.

12
00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:00.280
Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ,

13
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.520
then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings.

14
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:10.120
To us, that's like saying amen or yes, then that rating will encourage others to listen.

15
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.520
Now open your hearts to what God's Word has to say to you.

16
00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:16.600
Here is Jack Kibb's.

17
00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:17.880
He is coming for you.

18
00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:19.080
He's coming for us.

19
00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:21.400
So make sure you're on the right path.

20
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:22.640
That's obvious.

21
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.800
Might I submit to you today that it's not as easy as you think it was maybe 30 years

22
00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:29.920
ago or 100 years ago?

23
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.640
The path way back in those days seemed to be a lot less cluttered than it is today.

24
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.720
When we talk about the path that I'm talking about you being a believer on the right path

25
00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:41.280
that is acceptable to God.

26
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.440
Listen, my dear friends, not you, not me, but it's acceptable to God.

27
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.360
That's what God has approved of.

28
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:50.400
That's what God says.

29
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:56.000
Now I know that when you and I punch in a destination on our GPS or on our phones or

30
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:03.280
our cars or whatever it might be, you've noticed that your built-in GPS systems got features

31
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.600
on it and some of those features are things like this.

32
00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:09.200
It will avoid accidents.

33
00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:10.880
It will avoid toll roads.

34
00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:13.800
It will avoid whatever.

35
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:18.880
But if you set your GPS for destination the fastest route, that's how I don't know how

36
00:02:18.880 --> 00:02:24.520
you're as it's set, you know?

37
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:31.200
You might select the more scenic route, which I wish they had that one by the way, but

38
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:34.680
I guess that's based upon your opinion.

39
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:42.160
But the one about fastest route, that's the one I want, that's the one I hit.

40
00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:45.600
But in that, you've noticed that when you select that, it will then tell you you've

41
00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:49.760
got three different options and each of them are about two minutes apart.

42
00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:50.760
Have you seen that?

43
00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:52.160
And you can pick the fastest one.

44
00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:59.280
These are the top three that appear on the destination route of what's fastest.

45
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:00.880
And you have these decisions to make.

46
00:03:00.880 --> 00:03:06.120
And now today you and I are living in a world of, quote, Christianity that has all these

47
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.160
other peripheral things that are available for you to pick.

48
00:03:10.160 --> 00:03:12.800
And I got to tell you, that's not a good idea.

49
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:18.280
It may be great on your GPS about getting to the beach in time or Disneyland or wherever

50
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:19.600
you're going to go.

51
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:25.720
But when it comes to getting to heaven, can you imagine you type in heaven, right?

52
00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:33.280
Seven, seven, seven, paradise lane, heaven.

53
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:37.240
And it pops up and it says you have three options.

54
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:38.720
No, I got news for you.

55
00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:42.080
We got one option, which is no option.

56
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:43.800
You've got one choice.

57
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:49.520
So be very careful because today, and I'm not going to do it, don't respond when I say

58
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:50.520
this.

59
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.120
You always do.

60
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:59.960
I could name names of famous Christian leaders today that have now departed from that way,

61
00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:07.400
that path and are offering alternative routes based upon your gender, based upon your race,

62
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.160
based upon your ethnicity.

63
00:04:10.160 --> 00:04:11.240
Are you hearing me?

64
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.800
They now have departed, famous names.

65
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.360
And it's sickening and it's tragic.

66
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:22.800
And yet when I read it and see it, I understand that Jesus warned about times just like this.

67
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:26.400
The question that you want to make sure that you can answer is that are you on the right

68
00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:28.760
path?

69
00:04:28.760 --> 00:04:32.240
Are you sure you're on the right path because he's coming for you.

70
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.080
He's coming for you.

71
00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:37.560
Let me tell you what being on the right path doesn't mean.

72
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.800
This is what it doesn't mean.

73
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.440
Here's an example about how not to be on the right path.

74
00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:46.680
Mark chapter 10, verse 17.

75
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:52.040
Mark 10, 17, the Bible says, now as he was going out onto the road, this is Jesus, one

76
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:57.600
came running, knelt down before him, and asked him three things this person did.

77
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:03.600
Whoever he is, let's not really add, whoever he is, this person came to Jesus.

78
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:12.440
This person knelt down and this person asked him three things that I want to ask myself

79
00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:15.280
regarding the path that I'm on.

80
00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:17.400
Am I coming to Jesus?

81
00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:18.880
This guy starts out good.

82
00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:20.240
He comes to Jesus.

83
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.040
He kneels down in homage or reference to Jesus.

84
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:30.920
And then he asks him and I have to ask myself, am I approaching Christ this way?

85
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.440
Am I on the right path?

86
00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:34.280
Does he have my reverence?

87
00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:41.560
Does he have my request when I speak or ask him?

88
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.440
So this guy seems to be very focused.

89
00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:45.360
He seems to be right on target.

90
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.360
So to speak.

91
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:52.240
And then he says something extremely powerful, but we don't know what his answer is to this

92
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.400
one asked.

93
00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:59.720
He says to Jesus, good teacher, what shall I do that I might inherit eternal life?

94
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:01.880
So he calls Jesus good teacher.

95
00:06:01.880 --> 00:06:08.040
And I do not get this in our Western world, but this is what it's meant in the Middle Eastern

96
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.160
world at that time and even to this day.

97
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:19.480
When the statement is made good teacher, the word means, by the way, the word good in

98
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:25.200
original English because of the Latin and the Greek, good is always reserved for God.

99
00:06:25.200 --> 00:06:26.200
I don't know if you know that or not.

100
00:06:26.200 --> 00:06:34.000
It was not supposed to be used toward anything else but God.

101
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:39.800
So when he says good teacher, he's saying God's teacher, it's what he's really saying.

102
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.800
You know how you and I say good morning, you know, we don't even know what we're saying.

103
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:49.480
The original English was God's morning to you.

104
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:50.480
Good night.

105
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:54.920
Oh, that meant early on, they didn't say good night 400 years ago, they didn't say good

106
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:55.920
night.

107
00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:00.520
They said God's night, it was a blessing, God's night be upon you.

108
00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:04.640
Then it was shortened to, you know how you spell goodbye and what is thought of as old

109
00:07:04.640 --> 00:07:13.440
English, right, by a B-Y-E, it's actually, again, all polluted from God's night be upon

110
00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:14.440
you.

111
00:07:14.440 --> 00:07:19.480
When we would say good day or good afternoon, it's God's afternoon upon you.

112
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.840
It's a blessing, God's morning be upon you, friend.

113
00:07:22.840 --> 00:07:31.280
It's been shortened up to good because it's reserved only for God.

114
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:36.680
Of course Jesus, knowing great English, Latin and Greek, I'm kidding, I'm just, this

115
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.920
is God speaking.

116
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.240
He says something very profound.

117
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:45.400
He says, why do you call me good, is that interesting?

118
00:07:45.400 --> 00:07:48.240
Jesus says to this young man, why do you call me good?

119
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.760
No one is good but one that is God.

120
00:07:51.760 --> 00:07:56.360
And then he answers him, you know the commandments, do not commit adultery.

121
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:01.240
Dear friends, if you're not committing adultery today, you don't get brownie points for that.

122
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.200
You don't get an award, he can have an award, I haven't committed adultery.

123
00:08:05.200 --> 00:08:09.560
No, you don't get an award for that, you're not supposed to commit adultery.

124
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:17.280
You don't get points for not doing what you're not supposed to do.

125
00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:18.280
Do not murder.

126
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.040
I haven't murdered in weeks, pastor, can I have an award?

127
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:27.080
No, you're not supposed to murder.

128
00:08:27.080 --> 00:08:29.160
Do not steal.

129
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:34.280
Same thing, do not bear false witness, don't lie.

130
00:08:34.280 --> 00:08:38.080
And do not defraud, don't rip people off.

131
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:43.840
On to your father and mother, the man answered and said to him, teacher, all these things I've

132
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.120
kept from my youth.

133
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:52.560
He's not lying, everything that you said, Jesus, I have physically not done.

134
00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:58.520
And this is where Christianity, true biblical Christianity departs from, for example, Judaism.

135
00:08:58.520 --> 00:09:03.520
I have good friends who are Jewish and they'll say, it doesn't matter what you think, it

136
00:09:03.520 --> 00:09:07.600
doesn't matter what you imagine, it's what you do that matters.

137
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:13.040
That's, look, as citizens, we appreciate that kind of commitment to visible morality,

138
00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:16.400
but that doesn't fly in the face of God, does it?

139
00:09:16.400 --> 00:09:20.640
God says, I care about what you're thinking about, I care about what you meditate on.

140
00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:23.160
Isn't that amazing?

141
00:09:23.160 --> 00:09:28.400
Think about the reality of Christ and all of a sudden being on the right path is something

142
00:09:28.400 --> 00:09:34.160
that is not a bunch of do's and don'ts and thou shalt nots and give me the boxes to

143
00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:37.720
check and see if I match up to the requirements.

144
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:38.720
None of that.

145
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:42.800
It all comes down to the spirit of the matter, who is it inside of you?

146
00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:48.280
That makes you who you are and are you on the right path in following Jesus.

147
00:09:48.280 --> 00:09:56.640
And he goes on to say, verse 21, then Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him,

148
00:09:56.640 --> 00:10:02.720
one thing you lack, go your way, so whatever you have, pay attention church, and give to

149
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:08.040
the poor and you will have treasure in heaven and come, take up your cross and follow me.

150
00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:10.360
It's amazing about that statement.

151
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:15.280
Jesus answers him on the level of where he's thinking.

152
00:10:15.280 --> 00:10:22.120
He's thinking, I've not done these things, so I'm good, right, I'm okay.

153
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:28.560
Jesus comes down to where he's at and says, if that's the case, good for you, if that's

154
00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:32.760
the way you're going to judge yourself, how does Jesus make this guy see the reality

155
00:10:32.760 --> 00:10:33.760
of it?

156
00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:37.320
If this guy stuck in the physical side of performance, how does Jesus get him to look

157
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.320
on the inside?

158
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:47.560
Look what he says, that's one thing you lack, go take everything that you have and sell

159
00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:53.400
it and give it to the poor and you'll have eternal life.

160
00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:58.280
Ladies and gentlemen, is that the gospel that's preached in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John

161
00:10:58.280 --> 00:11:03.240
and all the epistles to this day that you'll go to heaven if you give all that you own

162
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.080
to the poor?

163
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.480
That's not the gospel.

164
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.720
What's Jesus doing?

165
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.480
Jesus is exposing to the man, the man's own value flaws.

166
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:20.240
You think, you think young man that living this way by what you do and do not do makes

167
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.520
you right, well then let's just take your logic to the end.

168
00:11:23.520 --> 00:11:26.560
You see Jesus gets him where he's at.

169
00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:31.000
You're a rich young man, this is the story of the rich young ruler.

170
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.240
You give all that you have, you want to get on the right path, give all of your material

171
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.080
wealth up and you'll be saved.

172
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:49.080
No, the shock is what Jesus says to him is that if you think good works get you into heaven

173
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:54.120
then do this, the man couldn't do it.

174
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.720
The man was defeated in his own logic.

175
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.040
Christians and family listen right now, you may think you're on the right path going

176
00:12:01.040 --> 00:12:07.640
to heaven and it's my job this morning to shake you to cause you to think because if

177
00:12:07.640 --> 00:12:10.480
I were to ask you right now, are you going to go to heaven?

178
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:14.040
I asked this audience and I asked those of you that are watching right now, are you going

179
00:12:14.040 --> 00:12:15.200
to go to heaven if you die?

180
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:22.000
If you have an answer that is opposite to the gospel then you're not going and I say

181
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:28.280
that's sadly because God wants you to go, we want you to go, but if you have an answer

182
00:12:28.280 --> 00:12:32.160
that's different than what Christ has prescribed, you're in trouble.

183
00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:37.120
And so what Jesus does is he exposes the man to himself.

184
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:44.400
He sees inside and he looks and concludes, watch what happens, watch the result of this.

185
00:12:44.400 --> 00:12:50.440
Verse 22 says, but he was sad, the man was sad at this word and he went away sorrowful

186
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.160
before he had great possessions.

187
00:12:53.160 --> 00:12:58.200
And I would say that's, he had great possessions but he didn't possess them.

188
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:02.280
He had great possessions that possessed him.

189
00:13:02.280 --> 00:13:07.800
And then Jesus says regarding this, that Jesus looked around and said to the disciples

190
00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:11.480
how hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God.

191
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.000
What's interesting about that is Jesus didn't say you can't have riches, he's talking about

192
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:21.280
riches possessing you, why because it places you on a path of your own decision making.

193
00:13:21.280 --> 00:13:23.040
We want to be careful about that.

194
00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:29.160
The Bible says in Proverbs 16 verse 25, there is a way that seems right to a man but the

195
00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:31.960
end is the way of death.

196
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.760
Are you on the right path?

197
00:13:33.760 --> 00:13:36.040
Proverbs 12, 15 is similar to it.

198
00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:38.920
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes.

199
00:13:38.920 --> 00:13:39.920
That's tough.

200
00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:45.400
Man that's hard because when a fool thinks he's on the right path you can't get him off.

201
00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:52.280
And here's the thing, everybody knows he's a fool but he thinks he's genius.

202
00:13:52.280 --> 00:13:58.760
Everybody's going what a fool and he thinks most people are dumb, they don't get it.

203
00:13:58.760 --> 00:14:04.720
He's a legend in his own mind.

204
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:11.560
But the truth is to be on the right path is to not only possess, listen, possess the orthodoxy

205
00:14:11.560 --> 00:14:12.720
of Scripture.

206
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.400
That is, what does the Bible say?

207
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:20.320
It's not only that and you know the answer to this, it's after you study the Bible then

208
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.080
what do you do?

209
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:29.320
According to the Bible you're supposed to live it, you're supposed to do it.

210
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:33.880
When the truth is inside of me I need to make sure that I don't add pollutants to it.

211
00:14:33.880 --> 00:14:40.640
I want to make sure I guard the truth that's inside of me and I don't mix it with contaminants.

212
00:14:40.640 --> 00:14:46.920
Am I on the right path, church family, please, please heed this warning, watch out.

213
00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:53.560
There are so many voices and so many ways for you to get quote, data, quote, into your

214
00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:58.920
lap or into your eyes and head that it could easily, easily become elements that corrupt

215
00:14:58.920 --> 00:15:04.200
the gospel in your life pollutants and contaminants that begin to cast a little bit of doubt on

216
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:12.160
the veracity of God's word and you begin to not view it so powerful or so pure.

217
00:15:12.160 --> 00:15:13.160
And it can corrupt you.

218
00:15:13.160 --> 00:15:15.080
Are you on the right path?

219
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:22.040
Galatians 3, verse 1, Galatians 3, 1, the Apostle Paul warned the church at Galatia and

220
00:15:22.040 --> 00:15:24.080
I love Paul, you got to love Paul.

221
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.640
He's just so direct, always.

222
00:15:27.640 --> 00:15:32.760
Galatians 3, 1, listen to him, he says, oh, foolish Galatians.

223
00:15:32.760 --> 00:15:43.000
You would say today you bozos, who has bewitched you, he's talking to Christians, can you imagine

224
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:47.440
if Paul showed up today and our guest speaker this morning is Paul the Apostle and he comes

225
00:15:47.440 --> 00:16:01.280
up, you chino hilly ends you, who has bewitched you and we would say Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook,

226
00:16:01.280 --> 00:16:07.720
TikTok, Twitter, who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth.

227
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:15.360
For whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you has crucified this only I want

228
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:16.360
to learn from you.

229
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:20.880
Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith?

230
00:16:20.880 --> 00:16:23.320
Are you so foolish having begun the Spirit?

231
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:29.360
Are you now being made perfect or complete in the flesh?

232
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.680
Do you know why that verse is on the screen right now this morning?

233
00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:41.760
Because I heard a famous Christian leader this week say regarding his understanding now,

234
00:16:41.760 --> 00:16:53.440
his new revelation of critical race theory, he says, that for the last 30 years he thought

235
00:16:53.440 --> 00:17:02.240
he was preaching the gospel, but now he knows the gospel, that the gospel is the gospel

236
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:08.200
of injustice.

237
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.520
And I immediately picked up the phone to find out if we have any of that guy's books

238
00:17:11.520 --> 00:17:16.920
in our bookstore because he's telling me that for the last 30 years he wasn't preaching

239
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:24.440
the gospel, he's got a new one, a more full gospel.

240
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:28.200
Ladies and gentlemen, this is exactly what he's warning about.

241
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:33.640
Watch out, by the way, yes, I'm actually exercising right now in front of you, negative

242
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.680
church growth tactics.

243
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:40.440
This message is going to cause you to have a much easier time next week finding a parking

244
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:41.440
spot.

245
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.720
Nobody wants to hear this stuff.

246
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.480
James 1-22.

247
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:51.400
James 1-22 says, but be doers of the word, here it is, it's not just having orthodoxy

248
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:57.680
of Scripture, it's practical living, but be doers of the word and not hears only deceiving

249
00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.680
yourselves.

250
00:17:58.680 --> 00:17:59.680
Isn't that amazing?

251
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:00.680
You can go to a Bible study.

252
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:01.880
This is horrific.

253
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:03.400
You can go to a Bible study.

254
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:05.200
You can go to all kinds of Bible studies.

255
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:12.400
But if you don't intend to do it, the truth you do here, why isn't it becoming a pollutant

256
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:13.400
to you?

257
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:18.720
The truth doesn't pollute, it's what it's being housed in.

258
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:25.560
A heart takes in the word without intentions to ever do it, that heart becomes corrupt.

259
00:18:25.560 --> 00:18:28.200
That's how the word of God can judge.

260
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:32.480
For if anyone is a hear of the word and now to do or he's like a man observing his natural

261
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.280
face in a mirror, I'm sorry, but this is very funny.

262
00:18:35.280 --> 00:18:42.480
You look in a mirror, hmm, you look, that's me.

263
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:44.280
And it's funny because this is beyond his.

264
00:18:44.280 --> 00:18:50.600
You look in a mirror and you see what you see, but it's processed with your own eyes

265
00:18:50.600 --> 00:18:54.280
and when you look, he's like, I'm good.

266
00:18:54.280 --> 00:18:55.440
What's what happens?

267
00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:00.880
He observes himself and he goes away and he immediately forgets what kind of a man he

268
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:10.720
was because to expound, he doesn't see the nose hair coming out of his nose.

269
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:15.080
He doesn't see that he still has some yoke from breakfast on this side of his mouth.

270
00:19:15.080 --> 00:19:19.800
He looks and he goes, I'm good and he goes out and he forgets that what he looked at

271
00:19:19.800 --> 00:19:24.160
in the mirror had these things that needed to be fixed and he goes out of the world thinking

272
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:25.160
he's fine.

273
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:30.240
The Bible says, watch out, Matthew chapter 7, verse 13, Jesus said, enter in by the narrow

274
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:31.240
gate.

275
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.840
We want to talk about the path, the narrow gate.

276
00:19:33.840 --> 00:19:38.200
For why does the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction or to hell and there

277
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.640
are many who go in by it because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads

278
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:45.800
to life and there are few who find it.

279
00:19:45.800 --> 00:19:50.120
Jesus is not saying it's difficult to get to heaven because you've got to work at it.

280
00:19:50.120 --> 00:19:51.120
No, no, no, no.

281
00:19:51.120 --> 00:19:56.800
Listen, it's difficult to get to heaven because every day it takes you and I saying, Jesus

282
00:19:56.800 --> 00:20:00.120
is Lord, Jesus is Lord.

283
00:20:00.120 --> 00:20:05.920
You know, we face that every day, church, every day we get up, who's going to be Lord?

284
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:06.920
We have to choose.

285
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:13.920
I am the right path.
