How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel the project that I'm gonna be doing this week It's an outer sleeve with a whole bunch of color. So with that being said, let's get these days started It's time yes, it's time, right Let's see what we I didn't even take a look at what you had to What does it mean oh So it's talking about space.  I'm Christian now so I like reinterpreted Meaning so this you got down when you were 18. Yeah, it was my first tattoos and I was very specific I didn't want like a tattoo. It was more like a brand. Okay Okay, so in the first sense so that I placed I Just placed it How I stenciled it so it was a perfect circle everything was a perfect circle The thing is that as soon as I placed it because of the shape of the arm It made the circle look very oval. So what I did is I re stenciled it All I did was took the image and I just pushed it I basically squished it together that way he created an oval a horizontal oval So whenever I placed it here, it became a perfect circle. So now as you can see now it looks perfect Exactly what I wanted to see so definitely a consider What like the shape of the body the shape of the arm whatever placement you're looking to tattoo Really consider every possibility and make sure that everything looks right and yeah If you need to squish it or maybe make it longer larger Those little things matter because that's gonna make a huge difference when you tattoo I did the same thing for this one as well Just with the planet here on the bottom this one they stay the same But this one was creating an oval shape as well. So I had to squish it Just a little bit. I'm gonna have you check it out on the mirror. Make sure you like the placement It looks awesome. Yeah, yeah, what a stencil too. What a stencil. It looks so dope So this is gonna be a two-day project the first thing that I'm gonna do on this project is I'm gonna start with a galaxy here On the top then start working on the planet and the top after I'm done with that area I'm gonna start working my way down slowly and see how far we can get today I definitely don't want to start where I think I should start like here on the on the middle of the arm just because It's gonna prevent me from Doing more if I can this did today. So I want to start here on the middle Then go to the top that start working my way down. Do you want to take a look at your tattoo before it's gone? No I'm good. You stare at it for how long? I don't really look at it. I look at this arm Yeah People like asking about because it's a distinctive line work.   I know negativity Okay, so all I did right now was do the background and I ended up transitioning the black into my gray Just to give it a little bit of a softer look because I didn't want to saw the black across that whole arm Definitely wanted to give it more variety So one thing I do want to touch base on on how to go more in detail with is the meteor The way I'm going to do the meteor is I Ended up doing light gray here. That way I can put my solid black going into my lighter part of that meteor I'm using my seven round liner With a voltage of a 5.0 and I'm gonna start with the edge here And I want to make sure I I make it look as sharp as I can make it look Because I need that to I need this area to Have enough contrast to give it that dimension That the light source is coming from this side hitting the meteor on the top And I'm using the scribble technique to create those textures inside of the meteor give it a grainy look Perfect. I do want to adjust a little bit of this area of the meteor so I'm gonna go a little bit lower So I feel like it has this arc that it makes it look very straight So I definitely want more flow to it All I'm using here is my solid black Depending on how I see when I'm done with this layer of solid black depending on how I see the meteor I might add either either My lightest gray Or maybe leave it as is As I get closer to the solid black area I am actually going to sharpen up the corners here of it And the reason why it is because I want to leave a tiny little negative space To make it pop And that's going to give you more of uh, it's going to allow you to see more And I make it so plain and so you know light to dark. We're going to have variety of shades Here we go. Here is me creating a little bit of a negative space right here And all I'm doing is the scribble technique here very subtle not too harsh I want to build it. Here you go. Perfect I really like this area here. So I'm going to leave it how it is Because I want to do more Texture on the top here So as in right now, I'm going to lightly add Texture across the whole thing that way it is going to give me the shape of The meteor And after I'm done with this layer, I'm going to be able to figure out where I want more contrast And where it's going to help me to make this stand out even more perfect Same thing here. I'm going to leave a tiny little negative space just enough And I'm going to build it When it comes down to meteors, I would rather have Um, create my own meteor than following a reference because I don't feel like references Really give me what I'm looking for So by me looking at whole bunch of meteors, I try to memorize as many as I can That way I can take pieces of each image that I memorized and build my own And now that I'm done with the whole thing I'm noticing that it just it looks great exactly how it is that there's no need for me to add Light grays to it Because it's already super bright So by adding light grays it's going to dim down the whole meteor What are you working on today? How was it last night? Did it hurt? It was pretty good. It was pretty relaxed Yeah, I like woke up a little bit sleeping with but uh-huh The person I'm going to be taking today is basically starting from the bottom up I already did the top yesterday. We went at it for about nine hours or so And the reason why I want to start here on the bottom is so I can let the top rest at least for the rest of the day So by the time I reach the top it's going to be a little bit less sore and a little bit less swollen Because right now it's swollen It is very swollen so definitely throughout the day I want to navigate make sure that I'm not irritating the top So I want to balance out everything by starting on the bottom working my way up and yeah Okay, so I'm going to begin doing the nose and the first thing I'm going to do is with my 14 round liner I'm gonna start blocking in This area here And I'm using a 14 round liner today. I'm using the brand from higher level And you guys can find it on their website Definitely liking that performance here is very Consistent with the vibration And I like how firm the needle is pretty awesome. Perfect. Next thing I'm going to do. I'm going to graph my 11 curve mac running my machine at 5.0 like I always do with every single tattoo Short strokes just so I can make sure that I have Time and layers to uh build it up So I want to be gentle first Then after I I see the shape of the nose Then I'll be able to figure out where I want my dark tones and my light tones at So I'm basically just mapping it out. That's all I'm doing right now Next I do want to focus on the On the nose here on this area make it sharp as sharp as I can I want to make sure that it's sharp that way. I don't have to Because there is a really light tone here.  I feel like it's way too thick So I definitely want to make it a little bit smaller And brush the skin the reason why I don't add too much to my stencils. It is because Uh, it makes me feel frustrated knowing that I have to follow every single little line rather than me looking at the whole thing and Customizing little things here and there sometimes the reference doesn't really translate the same on skin. So I definitely like to make those changes as I'm tattooing because I'm looking at it on skin. So I I don't want to feel limited on things that I can do To make sure that it stands out Better on skin. So I adjust lighting. I adjust highlights contrast. I add You know little things here and there And there you go. I'm gonna go ahead and continue doing the same thing same process Across the whole nose Thank you so much for coming back and watching this brand new video. I really appreciate you This project took about 20 hours and it was a lot of hours. I mean at that point her arm was swollen You know, but she was sitting like a rock. She uh, she definitely got a little bit of shivers towards the end And all she did was get a little sugar in her body and she was good to go and finish off this massive project But uh, I'm really happy with this very creative very original and I I'm really happy with the outcome So with that being said if you're a tattoo artist, I hope you learned something from this video And if you're a tattoo enthusiast, I hope you were entertained. Thank you so much for watching I'll see you guys next week. Peace


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering AWS Executive Summit, brought to you by Accenture. Welcome back and good morning. Welcome to theCUBE's live coverage of the Accenture Executive Summit here at AWS Reinvent. I'm your host, Rebecca Knight. We are joined by Prasad Sankaran. He is the Senior Managing Director, Global Lead, Intelligent Cloud Infrastructure. Welcome back on theCUBE. Thanks so much for coming on. And Larry Socker, Global Managing Director, Infrastructure, Services, Domains, and Strategy. Thank you so much. Good to be here, Rebecca. So we're talking today about hybrid cloud, the best of both worlds. As we say on theCUBE, it's a multi-cloud world. But I want to start with you, Prasad. What is driving clients to move to the cloud? What are you hearing from CIOs? What keeps them up at night? So I think, you know, we've got to a point with our clients where they're really trying to get the power of the cloud to the enterprises. So there are multiple things that they're trying to do. First, they're trying to really get the innovation that cloud provides in driving their digital transformation. The second is taking advantage of the cost savings that cloud can provide. So there are multiple aspects of how they use cloud. The first would be using SaaS-type applications. So for example, Salesforce.com or Workday and things like that. The second is using the power of providers like AWS really to drive what they can do from a cloud-native perspective in building new applications. And the third is just taking existing applications around legacy and either re-hosting them or refactoring them as in adjusting them to some extent and then hosting them on again, clouds like AWS. So that is a multi-year journey that all our clients are on. And you know, as Accenture, we're helping them identify what needs to go first, what needs to go next and help them in that journey. And what is the compelling force? Is it that they want to save costs? Is it that they want to be more innovative and they view this innovation in the cloud as the key to it? I think it's a combination of both. It's innovation is absolutely number one. Secondly, it is speed to market, the ability to get your product out there very quickly is second. And the third is at the end of the day, data centers are going to go away and we're going to all reside in the cloud in some form or fashion, whether it's public or private and which is why this whole topic of hybrid and multi-cloud is becoming so important today. So Larry, why hybrid cloud though? Why can't we just go all in on public, sorry? It's interesting. The real driver, I'm touched on it, the real driver to get to AWS and to the hyperscalers really is around the innovation cycles, the passes, the services that they can do and that drives innovation, the speed to get there is important. Gives you a way of quickly scaling, which if I prefer everyone to build on an application fast, it's a great way to get there. And there's obviously the consumption economics. How do I shift from CAF-X to OPEC? So that's driving the cloud native, the push into the world of public. At the same time, our clients do have a number of requirements that really make them look and rethink and figure out how to evolve their data centers. The first ones were regulatory. So you think about when you were the pharmaceutical, GXP compliance, HIPAA and the healthcare side of things, GDPR. For every company on the planet. Yes. So that regulatory was perceived as a barrier, particularly in some of the more difficult regulatory environments. And now, while the public providers are really evolving and starting to get better regulatory postures, at the same time, a lot of our clients were making investments and decided, hey, how do I really build my private cloud? Another big driver that people continue to look at private clouds, whether they're in their data centers or increasingly moving to colas, is just scale up architectures, like high terabyte HANA. If I want a 64 terabyte HANA deployment, while the AWS footprints get bigger and bigger, sometimes just the performance and tuning for those high scale data environments is a big deal. Oracle, Oracle Rack's a great example, where it's not only do you have something a highly tuned environment, but given some of the licensing arbitrage stuff, it makes it extremely difficult. And then a big part of it is data gravity. If I've got these big data sets, if you think about fraud analysis and Hadoop clusters for credit card processing, or where I've got high terabyte HANA database, I've got 20 or 30 applications that need to access that data, I can't really put it over a wide area network due to latency and the cost of moving data around. So what you ultimately end up with is applications clustered around lakes, big pockets of data. And I think that's where we're ending up. And that will be across a hybrid architecture. So that's what we call it. As you look at balancing your apps and your data across public, private solutions, that's why we view hybrid as the way that most of our clients are going, given the scale and the amount of applications and data they have. So that's what we refer to as the best of both worlds for hybrid. So I saw you nodding a lot with what he was saying, Prasad. How do you, as you said, it's a balancing act in terms of how you set your strategy. How do you recommend companies go about thinking in terms of how they allocate their cloud? Yeah, so I think we have to take a really, really take an application-centric approach. You know, I'll go back a couple of years when our clients were really looking to really use a public cloud, and then they've signed up with one or more public cloud providers, and then they move some applications. And then some of them have actually taken a step back. In fact, there's a very global investment bank that I've been working with who had taken that approach initially. And now what they've done in working with us is taking a very application-centric approach. So we study their entire suite of applications, understand from a regulatory perspective, from a compliance perspective, from a perspective of security. And this is a global bank, so there are different roles in Europe versus in the United States and so on. So based upon all that, we come up with an approach on what should reside in a private cloud as opposed to what should reside in a public cloud. And obviously there are multiple providers. There are reasons to go with more than one cloud from a public perspective, et cetera. So we advise them on that. Then once we're able to do that, then we chart the journey on what application gets moved and when. And certain applications are very important to them from a performance perspective and they need to scale up and so on. So in those cases, we treat them differently. In certain other application cases, we move them on to a pass. And in some other cases, we just move these applications into what's available from a SaaS perspective. So really it's a very much an application-centric approach on where the workload's at. And is it a living and breathing thing? I mean, we talk about cloud being this journey, it's not a destination. Does this change over time? I mean. It absolutely does. I mean, it's constantly evolving. You know, data patterns are coming out there and it was interesting. Like a couple of years ago, all we talked about was the app, how you're going to modernize the six or seven hours when you get reimagined in there. But all of a sudden, a lot of the conversations shifting to my data strategy. Where did this data reside? Particularly as the data sets get larger. And that's moving from what was very centralized in the public data centers into much more distributed architecture. So we see it evolving very quickly. And even with a single application, I got a great example with a global hotel. They had a reservation system and a strategic application running on an old IBM mainframe. You know, they were finding it was just taking too long to get innovative and agile to really support their new mobile applications, their web channels.   They found it was going to be two or three years and they didn't have the luxury to wait. So they basically wrapped that application with APIs. They exposed it, you know, as with microservices and then developed a cloud native front end with a database cache, new technologies that they can now drop every three or four days. They can now, you know, you get a new mobile application. So got agile delivery. They've still got the legacy stuff there. The data is still there. Now, when you go against their web and mobile application, you're actually browsing against that new cloud native, you know, the database cache when you look at rates and rooms, et cetera. It's only when you transact and reserve the room that it goes back to the mainframe. So you agile delivery, they get a lot of the benefits there and then they can, you know, just offload a lot of the processing on the mainframe. It's only really, you know, all the reads up front now and slowly deprecate that over time. Now, they, you know, they're now running that very interesting hybrid deployment architectures. They have a container approach, you know, this database cache is they have two clusters of those containers running on private clouds, you know, on VMware and then one running in AWS. So they're now can optimize, you know, across the public and or hybrid footprint, you know, how they do this. So over the time, they then look to evolve that application and start to introduce serverless. So starting to take advantage of Lambda. So there, even within a single application, you can see, you know, it's constantly evolving. They're starting to advantage of the next evolution. So the next one to move, you know, beyond containers into more serverless architecture.  How do you develop best practices? I mean, when you're working with clients, or really is it case by case? I mean, you talked about the decisions and the allocation of cloud, of course, there are regulatory constraints for each company, but are there industry-wide best practices? Yeah. Absolutely. I do want to. Sure. So I'll start with financial services as an example.  And also if you look at, for example, in banking, a lot of it is very mainframe-based. You know, they have very old core banking systems, which is not possible to really move all of that onto public cloud necessarily. And maybe the business case isn't even there. So we have to take a digital decoupling type of approach and figure out, you know, how do we take some of the best bits and then put that on public cloud while still keeping some of the, you know, major amount of data still on the legacy side. So I think it's really an industry-specific approach, on top of which you have to layer on what the local requirements are. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, so I've spent a lot of work with Life Sciences and Pharmaceuticals and, you know, GXP compliance rules the day there. Yeah, you know, so how did they start to, they started off, you know, how do we get to private clouds that look and feel a lot like public and then start to move and test the waters, you know, as they start to migrate into the AWS's of the world. So it is very, you know, industry-specific.  You know, insurance is actually very similar, too. A lot of the logic on mainframe, it doesn't make sense to rewrite, there's not enough value in that. If I can wrap it in microservices and move out. So that clouds, I mean, their roadmaps, now obviously every, given the scale and complexity of our clients, everyone's going to be slightly different, but their patterns are very industry-specific and it gets getting even more interesting as we start to get and move into IoT and Edge, because when you get into like the, you know, the connected oil and gas or connected mine, you know, all of a sudden it becomes extremely verticalized and industry. So the hybrid solves a lot of problems, but I imagine it also creates some other challenges, too. What are the challenges and how do you counteract them? Do you want to start, Larry? Yeah, sure. I mean, and it's not just hybrid, I think it's, we have much more complex architectures. So with all the power of digitally decoupling, you know, creating microservices, architectures, being able to pick, you know, best-of-breed services, as everything becomes much more dynamic and ephemeral. So we're moving for a world where a server and a virtual machine would be up for like 12 months or 15 months to containers that have lifespans of minutes or hours or even seconds, you know, now managed in a much more dynamic way with, you know, Kubernetes. So that hotel is 15,000 containers managed by Kubernetes optimized over that environment. So, and even more with serverless. So you've got a very complex environment to manage. And I think as our clients, you know, start to really evolve the application portfolios, you know, with SaaS, cloud-native, wrapping legacy, the ability to then seamlessly manage across that environment and optimize. And even the optimization, you know, in the old days, we used to optimize around one or two dimensions, was it cost or performance in SLAs. Now we've got to simultaneously take this very complex environment and optimize across, you know, performance, service levels, security, compliance, and cost. So it's not just about cost optimization and they offset each other. If I'm optimizing for, you know, performance and service levels, my cost probably goes up. So it becomes a very complex problem. So spend a lot of time looking first, you know, first starting with the operating model. You've got to operate differently. How do you really get DevSecOps involved so that operations and security baked in right when you're doing the analysis so you're not building something that can't be secure or operated? You know, and then really transforming the people, right? I mean, one of the hardest things, a place where our clients struggle the most, is how do they, you know, upskill their organization, change the culture of the behavior? Because, you know, great example is we look at how we operate cloud and infrastructure.  And ultimately, to tune the AI engines that are going to need it to do that complex optimization across very, you know, very complex architectures. Well, so you're talking about the people and the change management. I want to ask about innovation within Accenture and AWS. We heard Andy Jassy this morning in his fireside chat talk about how the company is now, obviously a ginormous company, but how it really still has this startup mentality and what he does to ensure that innovation is still a priority, relentless focus on the customer, decentralized nature of the organization, really focusing on what you're good at, knowing what's in your wheelhouse. How do you think about innovation and then how do you help clients make sure that they are bringing people along? And as you said, giving them the sort of developer mindset. Do you want to? Yeah, sure. So that's absolutely important for us. Innovation is, you know, very much part of our culture. When I look at my own group, which is intelligent cloud and infrastructure, what we do is we have 30,000 people who are working every day at our clients. And in many ways they understand the client's landscape even better than anybody else because they're working there every day. So some of the things that we do with our clients are innovation forums where our people bring forward ideas to suggest to clients. So this is something that we do on a regular basis. Take it to our clients, CIOs, and invariably several of these ideas actually get put into their whole plan for the following year. So we co-innovate with our clients. We've created several digital studios and liquid studios in multiple locations. We've got several of them across the globe. So we bring our clients in for design thinking workshops, suggest ideas, and, you know, co-innovate with them on things that we can take forward. And just to further that, I mean, we've always driven an innovation agenda. We're always trying to figure out what's next, where do we invest at, you know, what's the next bet? I mean, even going back to our cloud first days, I mean, so we've always been pushing the envelope. I think what Prasad hit on is really a step change for us in how we engage. I think in the past, we'd come in as the consultants, present, et cetera.  So actually engaging with them in more design thinking.  And I think they've infused this culture of, you know, co-sourcing, collaboration, and ideating together. And the dynamic just changes. And it's fantastic when the client then is in the room, they own it with you. They co-creating. And I think, you know, so we've been spending a lot of time on how do we transform, how we interact and engage with our clients in a much more collaborative way. And it's really changed, you know, changes your relationship with them. And the technology enables that too. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, Larry and Prasad, thank you so much for coming on theCUBE. A really great conversation. Thank you. Thank you, Rebecca. I'm Rebecca Knight. Stay tuned for more of theCUBE's live coverage of the Accenture Executive Summit coming up in just a little bit.


Amen. So keep your place there in Judges chapter 21. We're going to get there in a few minutes. We're not going to be there right away, but just put a bookmark there if you would. So this evening on our anniversary weekend, my anniversary message to you tonight is kind of to try to reference Pastor Jimenez's sermon this morning. I want to try to kind of take Acts 20 verse 27 where Paul said, for I have not shunned to you to declare unto you all the counsel of God. I want to get you to just be able to appreciate coming to a church or being part of a church where the whole counsel of God or all the counsel of God as the Bible says is declared unto you as the Bible says. I've not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. I think we can take that for granted. Sometimes we sit in churches for years and good churches under good preaching for years. I think we can take that for granted. So what I want to do this evening is I want to kind of open up a can of worms, but I want to show you what we're up against out there. I want to show you what we're up against with the philosophy of the world. Our philosophy is this. Our philosophy is all the counsel of God. That's why it's a pastor's job to declare unto you every single word that the Bible says. Whether or not it's in season, out of season, as Pastor Jimenez said this morning, whether or not it's at a time when you feel like you wanted to hear that or not. It's the pastor's job. It's the man of God's job to just declare that to you no matter what. So you say, why is that important? Why is that important? Now remember just reading, this isn't the Bible, but Sun Tzu wrote a book called The Art of War. And he said in this book, a very famous quote, he said, you know, no thine enemy. He says, no thine enemy and no thyself. And in 100 battles, I'm paraphrasing, in 100 battles you won't lose any basically is what he said. But to know what we're up against is very important in our Christian lives. So that's what I want to talk about this evening. I want to talk about a competing philosophy with the Bible that we are up against today. Now this philosophy, it's a can of worms, it's a sermon series, it's a dozen sermons. But I want to just give you four or five points on what this philosophy is about. And when I'm giving you these points, I want you to think about all of the things that you experience out in the world in your job, with school, wherever you're dealing with people out in the media, whatever it is that maybe it'll help you warn you against things you're bringing into your home, you know, through screens, through media, things like this, is this competing philosophy with the Bible.  What I want to talk about tonight is this philosophy called postmodernism. Postmodernism. You say, what is that? Well, I hope at the end of the sermon tonight you have an idea of what it is. I'm going to give you some specific details and four or five points about what postmodernism is all about and, you know, things that you'll see that are affected by postmodernism. Then I'll sum it up for you and then I'll show you, like, you know, why it's just such an attack on the Bible and actually how the Bible has the answer to this philosophy as well. So keep your place in Judges Chapter 21. We're going to come back to Judges Chapter 21. You just remember the story of Judges 21.  That's a messed up story. Alright, I was actually going to preach a sermon series called messed up stories in the Bible. You know, I still may, but, you know, most of them are in the book of Judges. Alright, these messed up stories and I'll get to that, why those are in the Bible as well. So we're talking about postmodernism.  It's defining the culture. It's defining art. It's defining books. It's defining media. It's defining movies. It's defining TVs. It's all part of this philosophy called postmodernism. Some, you know, some famous names that you may have heard of are people like Michael Foucault, Frederick Nietzsche, if you've ever heard that name, was a postmodernist that died in 1900. Karl Marx was into postmodernism. You know, so you can see kind of where this is going. Let's take a look at what this is about. Postmodernist, here's point number one. Let me just define what it is. The philosophy is for you. Postmodernist, and these definitions are not my definitions. I'm using definitions from Britannica Encyclopedia, okay, on what postmodernism is. So I'll give you five points, and then we'll just look at what the Bible has to say. Here's the first point right here on postmodernism. You say, what in the world is this about? Postmodernists dismiss the idea that there is an objective reality. That's point number one. Okay, so first of all, to understand what that means, we need to understand what the word objective versus subjective means. You probably know this, but just to clarify, basically, objective means that it's not, you know, it's not defined by someone's opinion. It's just something that's real. Like, that chair right there is an objective fact.   You know, like, how you may have, you may like certain foods. Like, some people might like crickets, and other people might not like crickets, right? That is a subjective opinion, right? Like, no offense. Hey, kill and eat, right? Kill and eat. But the point is, like, some people may have different opinions on restaurants. Some people may have different opinions on art. You know, some people may have different opinions on like, a Google review is an opinion, right? That's a, that's a subjective opinion. Okay, so there's objective, which is just, it's just real. It's just there, okay? Now, do you hear what I said about postmodernists? They said, there is no objective reality. You know what that means? That means, there is no reality is what they're saying. It's like, there is no real reality. What they're saying is that reality is not objective, but it's subjective. Meaning, what's real is, what's real to you may not be real to me. Meaning, is that chair really there or not?  This is, this is where it's in science too. You see what I'm saying? So it's like, what's real? I mean, what's real? What's, what's real in your universe might not be real to me. It is, reality itself is objective.  I get it. But this is defining a lot of things today. How tall is a building? That's objective. I can measure that. I can put a tape measure or a laser or whatever. I can measure how tall the building is. You know, guilty or not guilty verdict by a judge. You know, that should be, if it's a good judge, it should be objective. The judge should take in data, should take in evidence and make, it doesn't matter if it's his brother-in-law. He should take in that evidence and make an objective opinion on that. It shouldn't be subjective to be like, ah, it's my brother-in-law and I, I, I, I'm mad at him today and the evidence, like, he was mean to my sister and the evidence kind of says that, like, he probably didn't do it but I'm sending him to jail because I can't stand him. He's my brother-in-law. All right? So look, objective, some things are supposed to be objective. You know, we can all have different opinions on what our favorite kind of seasoning on a hamburger is but justice itself should be, it better be objective or, you know, it's not justice. All right? Objective looks at data. It looks at actual, you know, evidence, not feelings and then it makes judgment. Okay? It makes judgment. All right? So the post-modernist denies that. He says that there is no objective reality. There is no, what's real to you might not be real to me. All right? Right there, it's, look, it's weird. All right? It's weird and like a logical person, which we'll get to that in a few minutes would reject this right away. Okay? But this is what this philosophy is all about. The post-modernist, point number two. Point number two. Turn to John chapter seven. John chapter seven. The post-modernist denies descriptive and explanatory statements of historians, of history and even scientists. Go to John chapter seven. The post-modernist says that you can never really know what happened. That you can never really truly know what happened in the past. You can never really know what history is. Are you starting to see the problem here? Especially when you look at the verse on the front of your bulletin? It says, you know, you can never really know what's true. So obviously, you could never have an objective judge if you could never really know what's true. Well, I have 18 witnesses. Doesn't matter. You can't really know what's true ever. So everything is subjective. You can never really know the truth of what happened in history is also what they deny. Turn to John chapter seven. Look at verse number 24. So you could never really be that judge that makes a judgment call. You know, you could never be, I mean, isn't that kind of what we're hearing today, by the way? Don't judge. Don't judge. Don't judge. Why don't you tell a judge not to judge? How would that work for the country? It doesn't make any sense. Look at John chapter seven in verse number 24. Jesus himself says, judge not according to the appearance. Well, look at this. Judge righteous judgment.   That's all that word means. It means being able to tell what's bad and what's not. But if, you know, they're saying that you can never know what's good and what's bad. So you could never judge anything. Don't judge. See where this comes from? Is this in churches today? You bet it's in churches today. This is what it's all about. It's this post-modernist philosophy creeping into everything. And look, you could never even know what happened not only just five weeks ago at a crime scene or whatever, but you could never really know what happened 50 years ago in history. You ever heard of like revisionist history? I bet you if I looked at a history book of what kids are learning in school today, it would be completely different than what I learned when I was in school in 1980, whatever. Because it's changing constantly. That's why revisionist history happens. Turn to 2 Corinthians chapter 13. But guess what? The Bible says something different. The Bible says that you can rely on evidence. The Bible not only tells us that you can judge rights as judgment, it gives us a methodology on how to do so. It's completely opposite of this philosophy. Go to 2 Corinthians chapter 13. 2 Corinthians chapter 13. Look at just the first verse in 2 Corinthians chapter 13. Look, God tells us that you want to find out what happened. You actually, if there's an event that happened, whether it's historical or it's criminal or whatever, the Bible is telling you, you want to find out the truth. This says there is an objective truth and you want to find it out. And then he gives us a method on how to do it. 2 Corinthians chapter 13. Look at the first verse. This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. Here the Bible is telling you, you know, the philosophy of Deuteronomy 19 verse 15 where it's saying, hey, you want to find out what happened? You should have two or three witnesses. Is that perfect? Well, maybe not it's perfect every time, but it's a methodology to find what? The objective truth. What actually happened? The post-modernist says you could never know. You could never know what actually happened.  It's history. A big part of the Bible, one of the chapters that we just read in Judges chapter 21, which we'll talk about later, is what actually happened. Well, it's not a great thing that happened, but it's what actually happened. And there's a point that it's in the Bible, but that happened is what the Bible is saying. It says you could never know. This is why churches today, you look at churches and they don't declare all the counsel of God, they pick and choose certain things. You're not going to hear Judges chapter 21, Judges chapter 20, and Judges chapter 19 read out loud in too many churches today. I guarantee it because they don't declare all the counsel, they pick and choose. Well, how could they do that? When you have a clear verse like Acts 20 verse 27 and it says, declare unto you all the counsel of God. How could they just pick and choose? Because you know what they do? They could say you never could really know what actually happened. You could never really know because it's all subjective. You ever heard churches say, turn to, I'll give you an example, turn to 1 Timothy chapter 2.  Before I was even saved, the woman pastor would like make my head explode. I mean, it's just one example. And just because the Bible is so clear about this. Look at 1 Timothy chapter 2 and look at verse number 12. 1 Timothy chapter 2 and verse number 12. I mean, it's just one of those things where it's like not hard to understand what the Bible is saying. You know, it's just a role that women are not to have. And so you have a woman pastor standing up preaching politely the Bible where the Bible says this, but I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to observe authority over the man, but to be in silence. Well, that would be a boring sermon. Open your Bibles and she says nothing because that's what she would have to do. So, I mean, this isn't to be down on women. This is just not a role that the Bible says that they're supposed to have. It's very simple. It's very clear. It's not complicated. So, how does a church get past that? Here's how they get past it. That was just subjective to the culture of the day. That's what they say. That that reality was just, that was just the culture of that time. I've heard this explained this way. That was just the culture of that time and our culture is different so our what? Our reality is different. But the Bible is objective. It's not subjective. The Bible is very clear. See, now you're starting to see how dangerous this is and how it creeps into everything. Even churches. You know, the Bible, that turns into, have you ever heard this out so when the Bible was written by men? And those men had a certain culture and they wrote it into the Bible. Kind of pulls the Holy Spirit out of that whole thing, too. Kind of pulls the eternal, the eternal God that we serve out of the words of the Bible. Does it not? You see the danger here? The Bible is not subjective to whatever culture you are living in. But that's what they're after. Right? Look at verse number or reason number three. Reason number three. So first of all, they don't even believe in an objective reality. Your reality can be different than my reality. They don't believe in the idea that you could even know what actually happened. They don't believe in a truth that you could know that happened in the past. So they deny much of the Bible just right there. They believe everything is subjective to the culture that you grow up in. And that leads to point number three, where post-modernist reason and logic, reason and logic themselves depend on the culture that you came from. Because of your culture, post-modernism teaches, all ideas and religions are equal.  They said, you know, I was arguing, I was Lutheran at the time, and I was arguing Lutheranism with a Catholic relative. And the relative said to me, look, they just threw out this post-modern idea, modernism idea, where they said, you're a Lutheran because you were born and raised Lutheran. I'm Catholic because I was born and raised Catholic. That's just the way it is. That's post-modernism right there.  So that's your truth. I'm Catholic because, you know, they're both wrong and they're both the same, which is irony. But don't, you know, we don't have to go there. But the point is, they're saying all ideas, all cultures, and all religions are the same. They're equally valid according to the culture that the person was raised in. Is that what the Bible says? Turn of Galatians chapter one. Turn of Galatians chapter one. John 14-6, one of the most famous verses that you see, like, pasted all over telephone polls in town, you know, and all this.  John 14-6, you turn to Galatians one. John 14-6 is where Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, and the life. And everyone just loves that part. And we're just like, well, first of all, he says, the way, the truth, and the life.  He says, the way. But then he follows up and he says, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. He's saying, I'm the way, the truth, and the life. He's like, nobody else is getting to heaven only that way. Look, that's the opposite of this. Your culture, hey, however you were raised, that's your truth, bro. That's what's being taught in post-modern philosophy. No, there's one truth. And if it's not, if you are not saved through Jesus Christ, you're on your way to hell. That's what the Bible says. It's the opposite of what this is. Turn to Galatians chapter one, verse number eight. Galatians chapter one and verse number eight. Galatians chapter one. Look at verse number eight. Let me get there myself. Galatians chapter one, verse number eight.  He's not saying, hey, the gospel can be changed if you grew up in India. He's not saying the gospel, your gospel can have works or can have baptism added to it if you grew up, you know, in Jerusalem or wherever else. It's saying, look, it's saying, if anybody preaches anything other than what I tell you, no matter where they're from, no matter how they were raised, it's like let them be accursed. That means damned. You see how like the language that's used here, the strong language that's used against this type of thing, he says it twice, verse nine, as we said before. What do you mean, Paul? What do you mean before? It's like the verse before I'm just going to tell you again. I'm going to tell you again. He said, as we said before, so I now say again, if any man preached any other gospel unto you than you have received, let him be accursed. Let him be damned. Look, that's serious. That's as serious as it gets. Right there. It's the exact opposite of what this philosophy is teaching.   You know that's not true.  I don't care. You go preach the gospel to somebody from India, somebody from Russia, somebody from, you know, wherever, and they're just like, how many times have you heard this from people from all different cultures? They're just like, that makes so much sense. It doesn't matter what culture they're from. They could be Hispanic. They could be from the Midwest. They could be from any part of the world, from any culture, anywhere, Philippines, Asia, everywhere, and they're just like, that makes so much sense. Because that's the simplicity in Christ. And it has nothing to do with the culture that you came from. It's just the truth that matches. You know what the culture that it matches is the Romans 2.15 culture of the law God wrote in your heart. That's the culture that it matches, which, guess what? Everyone started with that. That's why it fits. Here's the fourth one. Here's the fourth one. So are you seeing the attacks on the Bible here? Are you seeing the attacks on the Bible in everything that you see out there, in everything that you see in all these churches out there? Look, I'm trying to get you to appreciate a church that declares all the counsel of God to you, because this is what we're up against today. Here's another one that they attack, language. Language itself, and you know this is true. Language itself is just changing. It's just changing. Post-modernist claim that, let me just read you this quote and then I'll explain what it says because it sounds like Jordan Peterson wrote this. Post-modernist claim that language is semantically self-contained or self-referential. The meaning of the word is not a static thing in the world, or even an idea in the mind, but rather a range of contrast and difference with the meanings of other words. Jordan Peterson had to be involved with that. What that means is that language itself is subjective. Meaning if you say a phrase, it might not mean the same thing as if I say a phrase. Look, I mean you can break this down. You can break this down into actual words. You know this is true. Like people are changing what words mean today. People are changing what words mean today. Turn to Psalm chapter 12. Turn to Psalm chapter 12. I mean you say, I don't know, is this a problem? Is this a problem? I mean I don't know. Are other Bible versions a problem? What are they doing? They're changing words. What are they doing? They're re-arranging. What are they doing? They're deleting words. They're changing the meaning of things. But what does God say? God says in Psalm 12.6.8, pure words. Look, the Bible here is saying these words don't change. It says these words don't change. They're pure. As silver tried in the furnace of earth purified seven times.   John 17.17. Sanctify them through thy truth. Well what's true? Can we really even note? No. Thy word is truth. The Bible is truth. This idea that words mean nothing. That phrases that I would say mean nothing. This is how politicians get away with what they do. Here's the most famous one I can remember. Read my lips. You guys are all probably too young to remember this. Read my lips. No new taxes. Two years later it raises taxes. Oh you took me out of context. I didn't really, that's not what I meant. It's like no, but that's what you said. This is how politicians can just like say these things that are just, I mean they'll just fact-check them and they're like they're completely not like, like the president used to fly airplanes or whatever he said last, you know, whatever the weird thing he said lately. And it's like it's provably not true. It's like yeah just took me out of context. Because like phrases, words, they just mean nothing. They mean nothing anymore. This is, I mean it's just like us. We should have no part of this by the way. We should have no part of this. Like if I say like, you know, brother Israel I'll come help you fix your car on Saturday and then I just don't show up. And he's like, man, Pastor Jared, what's going on? Oh, I didn't, I didn't really mean that. You thought I was, yeah I was just kind of like saying like maybe I could go or you know maybe I could come. No, I said I will help you. And then I didn't go. But this is a huge problem. This is a huge problem and we should have nothing to do with that. Look, a lot of people they just say things. Turn to Matthew 5. Turn to Matthew 5. We should have no part of these type, being these type of people that just say things. You're in a group of people and you just want to say something like, hey I can help out with that or hey I'll do that or I've done that. And then it just completely not true. But I just, you know, I just said it. I didn't really mean it. Like it takes like one or two times for you to do that where people lose all trust in you. You know, a good name. A good name is what we should be after. Look at Matthew 5 and verse 37. Does Jesus say that language, that the words coming out of our mouths should be subjective? That they should just like have like weird meanings? Like the King James Bible has to be our dictionary. Because people are changing words all the time. They're changing phrases. They're saying that you don't have to say things. You know, if you say things it doesn't matter. If you promise something it doesn't matter. This is the world we live in today. I mean haven't you heard the saying like a man is as good as his word? This is why people don't accept checks anymore. I mean it used to be like you could just write a check for something and just give it to somebody that you sold, you know, something at your house to. Nobody would ever take a check anymore. Why? Because people's word isn't worth anything. Because they say things and it's just a lie. It's just not true. We should have no part of this. Look what Jesus says. He says let your communication be yay, yay, nay, nay, for what's whatsoever is more of these cometh of evil. Jesus saying say what you're going to do and do what you say.  You know, just say I'll be there Saturday and then be there Saturday.  That's it. And then, look, then people, you will have that good name. You will, I mean that's what the Bible says. That's objective, my friends. That is not subjective. Look, in a nutshell, this, I gave you four points here, but in a nutshell what this postmodernism is, is relativism. It's just relativism of everything.  Postmodernism is a philosophy that focuses on the reality of the individual. It denies statements that claim to be true for all people and is often expressed in a pared down style in arts, literature, and culture. I'll get to that in a second. But you know what the miracle of the Bible is? The biggest miracle of the Bible. It is the only book ever written. This is how you know God wrote it. It's the only book ever written that applies to every person that has ever lived and will ever live. There's no other book you could say that about. There's no other book that will just declare all the counsel of God that will counsel everything that you need in your life. That applies not to just 2022 Americans, but people that lived from Adam to now. They just deny that. It says you can't claim truth for all people. That's exactly what the Bible does. It claims truth for all people. It says it's expressed. Now here's where you're going to see it in your life. It's expressed in arts, literature, and culture. This is where Hollywood comes in. This is where Hollywood comes in. Now look, don't go watch movies. But look, how many times can you think of movies that I saw in the 80s and the 90s especially where like this was a critically acclaimed review and you go to the movie and you come out of the movie going like what in the world? It was just like some weird like like I'm not even talking about perversion which that's part of it too. But I'm just talking about something where you're just like it's just all these ideas and you're just like what in the world I don't even under I mean how could that even make any sense? It's on purpose because what they're trying to do is throw out all this weirdness out there. Art, look at all these art you know we talked about this with Satanism a couple weeks ago. You look at all these painters. They don't paint an objective person. That's a portrait. I can do that with my phone. What they do is they paint some weird distorted weirdness. Why? Because it's all subjective. Some people may like this weirdness. Look at like the Tim Burton weirdness that happened many many years ago. All these weird distorted freakish creatures. It's trying to just throw all this weirdness at you to try to get you just to accept that there is nothing that's weird. You see? There is nothing that seems abnormal. There is no like poetry is a bad one too. The only poetry that I that I trust is Brother Stuckey's conservative Christian poetry. Poetry is a lot of poetry is twisted stuff. It's it's it's perversion and it's just it's more this just throwing weirdness out there at you because what is there? There's no anchor. There's no truth. There's nothing that's not weird. That's why you see all this weird perverted crazy stuff. Look you have to be so careful because it's just it's in everything. It's all over TV cartoons. I mean just inevitably you'll see cartoons if you're in a dentist's office or whatever. They're they're weird now. It's weird stuff. It's just weirdness everywhere. There is no right. There is no wrong. It's just this big floating point. There is no abomination. There's nothing none of that. That's why you see what you see. It's all post-modernism relativism thrown into everything. Look it's directly attacking the Bible. This idea is directly attacking the Bible because why? Because the Bible is truth. The Bible is truth.  He was a post-modernist. You say why? What did he ask Jesus? What did he ask Jesus when Jesus was standing next to him? Jesus said you know he's like I'm paraphrasing but Jesus said basically people that are you know people that love the truth you know they will hear me basically Jesus said and Pontius Pilate said what? He said what is truth? And the total irony of that is that truth itself was standing right next to him. Thy Word is truth. Thy Word is truth. John 1 1. The Word became flesh. John 1 14. In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh. The Word is truth. Thy Word is truth. Jesus is the truth. The literal truth was standing next to this post-modernist. He's like what is truth? It's right there. Jesus didn't say anything. It's beautiful. But the point is this. The Bible is truth. The Bible is history. The Bible look the Bible is data. The Bible is data that we are to use to what? To take in to judge. To be an objective judge. This is the Bible. So you say like what in the world? I mean who thinks of this stuff? Who thinks of this stuff? I mean these guys they thought of this stuff 50 years ago, 60 years ago, 70 years ago, right? Turn to Ecclesiastes chapter 1. Here's the beauty of it. Let's solve it right now. Let's solve it right now. Here's the beauty of the Bible. Look we have this. We can crack the code with the Bible. And here's the advantage that we have. The advantage that we have is that the natural man received not the things of God. So all these brilliant philosophers and all these people that came up with all these twisted ideas they can't even understand what the Bible says. They're walking around with this wheel this this invention that they have that they thought up and they're like yeah look what we've got here. We invented this you know 60 years ago 150 years ago or whatever it is but look what the Bible says let's crack it right here. Ecclesiastes 1 9 says the thing that have been is that which shall be and that which is done that which shall be done and there's what? There's no new thing under the sun. See here's the problem. Here's the problem with thinking you can never know what happened in history as you will never know what did happen in history when the Bible has history for you. If you think that there is no truth you never will know the truth because the Bible is the truth. Look if you want to know history here's just a little tip for you here's that because like it's really with all these different weird sources of media now it's it's kind of hard to figure out what's actually going on in the world sometimes. The best way to know history I mean I don't care if we're talking about the foundation of the country I don't care if we're talking about the civil war I don't care if we're talking about this you know the best way to know what actually happened in those times is to read what people that lived in those times actually wrote read that read the journals read the diaries you know read the the civil war it was all confused about civil war to this day read the letters that the state sent on why they seceded from the union they told you why it's written in history why slavery that's why oh states rights no it was slavery it was the states rights to have slaves is what it was look read what people actually wrote then there's no biased there's no bias that's the quickest way to get to the truth you want to know what it was like being a settler going across the planes and trying to get to california from missouri or wherever read the diaries of the kids that were in the wagons read the diaries of their parents that's the best way to get to how that actually was just you can find out read what you know what those are it's kind of like what the bible says like two or three those are eyewitness accounts is what those are that's how you can know what actually happened you know what the bible is an eyewitness account there's a witness holy spirit we know it's true how do we know it's true because it's a miracle because because it's the only book that applies to everyone who's ever lived or ever will live it's a miracle in itself just the fact that it exists we know it's true so look these modern philosophers over the last 200 years they're walking around with this thing this postmodern philosophy and they think they got something new but the bible says there's nothing new so let's look down and now go back to judges chapter 21 judges is full of messed up stories and when you look especially when you're reading the old testament just understand that the bible is history the bible has a lot of history in it just because you're reading these messed up stories don't don't think like that's what god wanted them to do you know that's all that's you're reading judges 19 you're like man this is jacked big time what's going on here this is crazy what's going on here you just think of the stories in in in judges themselves you got a bimblek in bimblek you know son of gideon it's just like betrayal revenge lying murder more betrayal everyone dies it's like who won nobody it's like who was good who was bad nobody was good like there's situations where there's everybody's bad even today especially especially today i think a judges 11 you know it seems like a godly guy you know makes a makes a this is why jesus said just say name name don't take oaths anymore please please stop taking oaths please please please the guys like swears basically to sacrifice his own daughter to god yeah that's what god wants god's like don't murder people especially don't pass your children through the fire promises god that he's going to murder his own children or his own child and he does it that's messed up you're like what is going on here then you get to judges 19 you got this guy he comes into this town with his concubine and it's just this town's filled with sodomites and and and perverts and they try to like break down don't forget they were after the guys first and these guys in this house this one guy's got his daughters and this other guy's got his his concubine and these guys are trying to beat down the door and they're like to bring the man out because they want to like you know and and the guys are like no take take my daughter and you're like ha ha he's messed up what's going on here and then finally they throw the concubine out to save themselves it's like who's right it's like yeah these are wicked sons of belial the bible says like everybody's wrong you're like what is going on here and they killed this poor woman and then it gets even worse then they go to they go like the whole they need like cuts out of pieces and sends her out to everybody all the tribes you're like what in the world is that in the bible somewhere that you're supposed to do that and you know and then all the tribes of israel like come against benjamin and against this city and they're like send the men that did this i mean that's at least like okay send out the men and then the try the entire tribe of benjamin's like no we're gonna protect them and so they go to war they like wipe out the entire tribe of benjamin and they wipe out everybody that was protecting these wicked sons of the devil that did this all right they wipe them out and then in judges 21 that we just read they're like there's 600 of these these because they wiped out the men the women and the children of benjamin and there's 600 men hiding in a cave and now they're all upset maybe some time has gone by and they're like who are these poor benjamites gonna marry these 600 and so the first idea to come up with is like well who didn't come to war with us they're like well there's a city over there let's let's go kill everybody over there and steal all their women i mean it's like god's like men stealing against the bible death penalty so they go and they steal 400 women from this city and then they're like oh we're still 200 short so what do they do they're like oh there's this big party in this other city and all the women come out and dance just go steal 200 more it's crazy you're reading this and you're just like what in the world is going on how could this possibly be happening you're just like nobody's right they're all doing all this wicked stuff i mean how would you like to live here by the way how would you like to live there in that that situation now look at judges 21 and verse number 25 i mean they're just like you're just like you read this and you're just like what in the world i mean you're almost ready to be done with the book of judges at that point i mean you're like all right can we get out of this but look what it says in verse 25 in those days there was no king in israel okay i get that but look at the last part it said every man did that which was right in his own eyes you know what that means every man was a post-modernist every man thought truth was subjective every man thought what was right was what he thought was right i want a wife i'm gonna steal your daughter look that's that may be good for the guy that wants a wife and thinks that there's no right and no wrong but it's bad for the daughter bad for the the father bad for the family bad for everybody else but that's what this leads to that's what when there's no truth this is why this this atheist argument all these philosophers are atheists by the way and i'll show you they're much worse than that all these philosophers that's why he's this atheist idea i hope i'm i'm i'm putting to bed this atheist idea that you could have a moral society without the bible because of everything subjective you know you get you get judges 19 20 21 that's what you get why is why are those why are those crazy stories in the bible why would god put stories in the bible like that that literally no church today would read except this one why would he do that because this is exactly what we're dealing with today that's why you see why it's in the bible it's in the bible because it doesn't matter what's right in your own eyes it what matters is thy word god's word that's what matters postmodernism is i mean judges that society in judges 19 20 21 is what postmodernism produces so when hollywood celebrities get up and start telling me their opinions on stuff like that's dangerous to me that's dangerous to my family they're trying to they're trying to make a society like that is what they're doing no one would want to live there but here's my point that was 500 we cracked it with just the bible with just a few verses in the bible it's not new there's nothing new there's nothing new imagine no truth folks you don't have look you don't have to believe the bible this is coming to you're starting to see all kinds of articles about this too but you don't have to believe the bible to reject that there is no truth you don't have to you don't have to believe the bible to believe that two plus two equals five is wrong you don't have to believe the bible to to believe that you don't have to be saved to believe that you just have to have logic and reason to believe that you know they're teaching this now there's there's people pushing this like it's it's just it's traumatizing should be teaching math and just like telling them that they're wrong if they come up with the wrong answer two plus two equals five let me tell you something i mean that that's going to alienate people that's going to make people what feel bad let me tell you something folks you don't want to fly in that airplane that's built by the two plus two equals five guy i've met the two plus two equals five guy look you don't want to post modernist mechanic working on your car you know what i'm saying you take your car to the mechanic and you know he brings it out and he's not like the carburetor like bolted to the roof of the car and you're like man it doesn't run man and he's like bro look at how great that looks i just feel like it belongs there and you're like but how am i supposed to get anywhere it won't even it won't move he's like but bro you look like you're doing 100 miles an hour look at that carburetor up there it's ridiculous it's ridiculous to even think i mean you wouldn't want to drive across that bridge built by the post modernist structural engineer gravity you know why why is that because gravity is real that's why because gravity is objective physics is real economics is real thermodynamics is real heaven and hell are real this is the real problem right here it's not heaven isn't some made-up thing we go up to some guy and ask him if hey do you do you know if you're going to heaven when you die and he's just like wait it's not even real look that doesn't make it not real we know it's real whether he thinks it's real or not all these philosophers that are dead by the way and all the ones that have named are dead they all believe in heaven and hell every single one of them the minute they died and they open their eyes in hell they're like oh i get it we were wrong heaven and hell is real whether you feel it or not because it's objective reality the bible is objective objective so i i can't even imagine where there's no truth can you imagine how confused people are today when they're seeing all this art literature hollywood movies people are so confused look you know the beauty of this church and the beauty of your church when you go back to your church is you know the truth and you know why it's happening there's no confusion with you you're at peace and you know what you you take how how you see all this this subjectiveness and you just let that motivate you to be like yeah you know what we got to show other people we got to show other people that all this garbage is wrong imagine a imagine a world where words mean nothing i mean turn to james chapter three you know language is changing it's relative i i get it people are taking this philosophy the meaning of words is changing hollywood's changing the meaning of words you know what they've done they've changed the meaning of the word love into just lust that's what they've done they've taken the meaning of the word love and turned into perversion love is sacrifice love is what jesus did for us the king james bible is my dictionary it must always stay that way hate and judgment are always bad but you know what whenever somebody tells you don't judge you know hate and judgment are always bad you know that's an evil person because they don't want you what is what is the word judge mean it just means recognizing evil versus good it's an evil person that says i don't want you to recognize evil it's a wicked person churches are wicked today that are saying that don't judge anything are you kidding me the word god is not it's not a being it's an idea to many people it's a it's some kind of entity floating in the ether or just some philosophy or whatever look i was at the grocery store yesterday like words are being invented i asked the guy because i knew i was preaching this sermon there's a there's a nice guy two two clerks one was checking me out and the other was checking somebody else out and they're kind of back to back and they were talking to each other talking about football or something like that and the clerk that was checking me out he kept saying furl furl furl and i'm just like like the guy saying yeah and then the defense and this and that is furl furl and i'm just like what's he saying i asked him i was like man what are you saying like what's that word he's like for real for real for real he was like you know what he was saying and i right away i connected i was like oh he's saying amen don't start saying furl but he's basically just he's like invented like some weird conglomeration of words he's like you know the guy's like yeah the patriot's this and they can't even find tom brady and fall fall fall and i'm just like what's happening here the guy's like you're so old probably that's what he was probably thinking but look it's not just individual words it's it's the idea that we can just say anything did you turn to james chapter three remember the late 90s i'm an outdoors guy i'm an outdoorsman in the late 90s i looked up this i looked up the show it's still going 43 seasons the the show survivor started remember this show look this show has changed our culture i'm telling you you say why because i thought this was going to be like a show where like people are like camping out trying to like survive against like they're going to like put this guy on an island and let some tigers go i'm like this is worth watching but it wasn't what it was was just a bunch of pee it's just a wicked show but it's a bunch of people who just like get together and just lie about each other and they form alliances against each other you know what they do like whatever they can say that's good for them they say it wherever they can trick the other people into thinking they say it that their words don't their words don't mean anything it's just it's defined a culture of just this this lying this gossip this back biting that it's like that as long as it's good for you and your team or whatever that it's okay i mean people use that i hear that term all the time like in the workplace yeah you know inform an alliance or whatever you know it came from that show this is the power of this wicked you know philosophy and hollywood and media well we have to be so careful they're these things are not harmless they're changing they're changing people they're changing generations look at james three six what is that what does thy truth say what does the the council of god say it says the tongue is a fire a world of iniquity so the tongue among our members is that defile with the whole body and set upon fire the course of nature as it is set on fire of hell that's pretty strong words you know what that means this is why the words that you can that you say to people can define what people think of you this is why the words that you say behind somebody's back can like actually do real damage to people they can do damage to ministries they can do damage to you know god's kingdom on earth i mean it's not it's not just it's not just words that mean nothing that is not what the bible says language is objective you have to say what you're going to do and do what you're going to say and it matters and look it doesn't take a man it takes a man like one time telling me something and then like he doesn't do it for me just to be like make a note just like okay that guy just says stuff that's damaging to you i mean that's damaging to you know a person's reputation it's against the bible turn to proverbs chapter 10 here's another one here's another one i mean just just this power of language think about just like language is not a just a harmless thing like the things that we say i mean there's a reason that matthew 18's in the bible where you just like man if you got a problem and you want to you know you got a problem or a conflict or something it's like you have to do it this specific way because why because you could hurt people you know and the bible is like giving you a methodology to not do that we'll get proverbs 10 18 the bible says he that height of hatred with lying lips and he that other slander is a fool so the bible here saying hiding hatred with lying lips so it's it's like you know what this is this is flattery this is like you know i i you know brother is real nice tie but i can't stand his tie no i mean seriously if if you don't mean something you shouldn't say it you shouldn't just tell people you know how great they are you just tell me the bible is just the flattery is wicked as hell you know the bible says that people that flatter you you know what they're doing they're they're hiding things from you they're they're the bible says that they're laying a snare for your feet because why because what we say matters because i mean look i mean i like your tie but that's that i just said the same thing but i mean it i think it's nice i think it's nice that you wore a suit yesterday we were out so many because that makes our church look good i mean this isn't flattery because i like i mean it you know it's if i'm just constantly just laying on all the and you know what that would hurt me because people would be like the guy's fake the guy's fake he doesn't mean anything you know people would start to suspect that person like because look the bible says that somebody that's that's hiding hatred they're they're after you they're after you and utter and slander look it's all look it's all post modernism pull out your bulletin just pull out your bulletin see how do i have one here i mean just look what the bible says in john 1717 it says sanctify them through thy truth thy word is truth notice the word that it says twice in this verse this whole idea there's no truth is what i'm trying to get you to understand with this philosophy the bulletin says thy word is truth your word is truth and look a man is as good as his word and god's the best because his word is truth itself twice it says truth truth it says god's word is so true it's true it'll his word will literally sanctify you nobody can say that about their words i mean god's word will sanctify you the only way we could sanctify somebody is by using god's words you know by rebuking exhorting all these things that pastor hymen has talked about this morning i mean sanctify means like purified make holy you're like what in the world there's nothing there's no phrase i could ever make up that would make you holy i i can i can sit up here and what do i do i don't i don't make up these great ideas and all this stuff it just i just sit here and i just like read i read what god's word say and that's what sanctifies you and i expound on that and that's what sanctifies you has nothing to do with things that i make up in my head it's only reading god's word and giving it to you that's how you're sanctified that's how powerful god's word is that's how true god's word is that's how opposite of post modernism god's word is that's why satan is doing what he's always attacking god's word through false bible versions through you know all these different things that he you know half god said from the very first run in with satan trying to this is just another satanic attack on the truth of god that's all it is but it's in everything you go see some painting on the wall downtown on some building that some weird guys face like whatever it's it's it's against the bible because it's post modernism weirdism you should look at that and be like that's not what a person looks like what in the world was that guy like on drugs or something when he did that is that an accident that's what people should be saying but instead it's just like people are just embracing weirdism because it's just like there's no anchor point that's what they're trying to get you to understand with all these different things it's just just cutting away at you a piece at a time but we know but we know what it is here's another thing you know all these people these these modern philosophers like michael faucet and jock dorida these guys died one died in 1984 the other died in like 2000 2000 something early 2000s they were also they were also trying to they were lobbying to get look there's no truth remember there's no truth there's no right there's no wrong they were lobbying to reduce the age of consent for children their pedophiles does that surprise you they're reprobates does that surprise you with the things that i told you it's just like i was telling you that the person that says don't judge that's these people what's their whole life think about this for a second you must recognize these things you see you're going overboard with this no i'm not listen these people that are telling you that there is no right and there is no wrong they're the most wicked people because they're evil don't judge they're evil they don't want you to recognize the fact that they're evil i mean these look i mean you don't even have to look too far to find this about these people they're they're they're reprobates thank god we have the bible is all i can say go home and appreciate your church go home and appreciate the man of god that's standing up and they're just preaching all the council of god for you because this is crazy stuff and like i said this is a sermon series i just like just touched on it but it's in everything art literature think about all the news articles you see about parents that have been arguing the argument of parents in public school trying to get these books out of the library has been going on since i've been alive oh you can't put these these books that teach all this this weird stuff in school and that you know these good parents are trying to get this this perversion out of school it's been going on forever it's post modernism they're trying to just expose expose expose but no the bible is truth and that is our truth and and whether or not these people believe it's it's everyone's truth so it's wicked it's against the bible and we need to be aware of it watch for it watch for it and everything and everything that you see and they knew be able to protect your families from it appreciate the word of god read it learn it listen to it preach let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer


another one The narcissist doesn't want you to watch for this one Hey sunshine state. All good. Thanks. How are you? welcome everyone To another one the narcissist doesn't want you to watch this one This is definitely one that the narcissist doesn't want you to watch I'm not gonna waste any time. I'm just going to get straight into it. We spend all this time trying to prove ourselves to the narcissist Trying to get their validation trying to get them to like us To be happy We're running on this endless hamster wheel trying To get their validation instead of realizing That they're not bringing anything to the table They're not of benefit to us And yet we go through all of this effort Trying to prove ourselves to them and that's what I mean When I say that the narcissist doesn't want you to watch this one because I'm hoping that By listening to this message you're realizing That you're not getting an equal exchange you you're putting in all this effort And you're not getting anything back when you deal with a narcissist You always end up getting the short end of the stick They always get what they want from you But you rarely ever get what you want and that's what I mean when I say the narcissist doesn't want you to watch this one because Once you've realized this it just makes you want to stop everything you're doing for them You just don't want to put in the effort anymore because you're thinking all the stuff you have to do for them All of the time energy and money spending on men that you could be Investing into yourself You're doing all that stuff For what? What are you getting back? Of course? Narcissists are expert manipulators They're very good at making you feel like you're not doing enough not doing enough for them They're doing everything for you. But what you can do is Write a list of everything they're doing for you Every way that they're making your life easier and they're writing another list Every inconvenience they've caused for you and then put those two lists side by side and then Write one more list All of the things that you're doing for them Now you should have free lists in front of you. Take a good look at them Look at how little they've done for you and look at how many problems they've caused and then look at everything You've done for them Who's getting the most out of this situation? That's what you've got to think about and that's why I decided to Record this because I want people to think about it I want people to understand and deep down I think these narcissists are fully aware of what they're doing. They know they've got nothing to bring to the table That's why they're so dependent on people There's a reason why they can't be alone for long periods of time. They need people The takers and what does it take a need a giver someone who gives stuff to them? So when they target people I Think they make a conscious choice To look for people Who are going to give them as much as they can without expecting anything in return?  They're just gonna say you didn't even do anything They're gonna say that they did everything for you And you didn't do anything for them So naturally They're gonna feel like you owe them You have to everything you've done. I don't want to go on for too long on this I think you guys get the picture. That's just how it ends up with these narcissists You can give them the world, but it will never be enough and no matter how little they do for you They feel like they're doing a lot. So really there's only one way can end All that's gonna happen is They're gonna feel like You owe them something No matter how much time energy and money You have invested in them. They could put you out of business They could leave you out on the streets and they will still Be holding their hands out Expecting something delusional Arrogant entitled people and nothing's going to change that but yeah, I don't want to stay too long on this I think it's safe to say that the narcissist Doesn't want you to watch this one, but yeah, thank you all for joining this life because some big Premiers coming up over the next few days So keeping out for that and if you enjoy these live chats on the comment section on the channel We do have a support from now on the website and I'll also be answering questions on there, too So check out the new website www.knocksurviver.co.uk and also I have my Instagram as well knock survivor YouTube Where I post narcissistic abuse quotes and pictures and videos of my travels So check that out, too, and I'll see you all in the premiers tomorrow Have a good day
