It's winning now. I like your style. You know the the history behind this. I got no idea I just I saw it in football cards. Oh, that's nice. Hey, you saw me wear it Russell Westbrook. Who's that? Who's that basketball player? He's a famous or something. He's a basketball player NBA What's on your feet? Oh my cool guy threes. I bought them off my mates every day. How much did you buy them for? 240 Yeah, do you think that's a good deal? Yeah, that's pretty good. What's in the bag? Neon green. Is this your first naked land? Yeah, what's your all-time dream pair of shoes? I really like the military blacks and the military blues


So keep your place there, we're going to be coming back there. Proverbs is one of those books that I wish I would have read and understood when I was probably a young man or young lady understands the book of Proverbs. It's life advice on everything, how to deal with people, how to get education, how to get knowledge, how to have friends, how to look things to look out for with friends, how to handle business, how to handle your life, your career. It's all in the book of Proverbs, so it's just a great book to study and to read for any Christian, but I want to focus on verse number seven this morning. Verse number seven, if you look down at Proverbs, I've explained this before, many verses in Proverbs, the single verse says one thing and then the last part of the verse will say the other side of that coin, so it will say some advice and then it will say if you don't do that advice, this is going to happen to you, which is why Proverbs is so cool. Look at verse number seven, it says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. So it's saying, if you want to have knowledge, if I asked everybody in the room today who wants to be knowledgeable in your life, I'm sure everybody would say yes, I want to be knowledgeable. So the Bible is saying that the beginning of that is the fear of the Lord, and then it gives the opposite of that, right? So you don't fear the Lord, you don't want knowledge, the opposite of that, look at the last part of the verse, it says, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. And verse number 29 kind of repeats this concept.  If you don't want to begin that knowledge with the fear of the Lord, it's like you're literally a foolish person and in verse number 29 it literally says that you hate knowledge if that's you.   Nobody would say that.   All right, so this morning I want to talk about a very specific topic. I want to talk about a very specific topic this morning that I haven't talked about in years and I'm not sure why because it's such a major problem in our country today, you know, around the world, but mainly it's one of the main things that is literally destroying this country and generations of people in it. This morning what I want to talk to you about, I titled the sermon, the University Industrial Complex. The University Industrial Complex is the title of the sermon this morning. So first of all, what is an industrial complex? Let me just define that for you. I think I'm going to have a sermon series, by the way, just on many different industrial complexes in the United States and the damage that they're doing. So an industrial complex is, here's the definition from the dictionary. The industrial complex is a socio-economic concept wherein businesses become entwined in social and political systems or institutions creating or bolstering a profit economy from these systems. So what an industrial complex is, is basically it's a business that's in bed with the government. It's a business that profits in some way from a political system or the government, in the case in the United States. The most common one that people have heard about is the military industrial complex. Now that, look, that deserves a sermon in itself, the military industrial complex. But it's a good example, it's a good example of just to use to define what an industrial complex is before we begin the sermon this morning. Dwight D. Eisenhower, in his farewell address in 1961, he literally hit a 10-minute farewell address. He was a man who was a general in World War II. He was president in the United States and he had 10 minutes to say goodbye to the country. You know what one of the main things that he brought up was? Was warning against the military industrial complex. Warning against an industrial complex. Let me just give you an example. I'm going to quote from his farewell address. The idea is to understand what an industrial complex is this morning before we, this is a prerequisite to understand the sermon this morning. This is a quote from Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell address. He says, A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be might, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction. American makers of power shares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. So what he's now, I'm pausing the quote here, but what he's talking about was basically in World War II, factories shifted in the United States from making goods and products to making tanks and military equipment. So he's saying that industries, they can shift to making military equipment. He continues in his quote. He says, But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense so we have been compelled to create a permanent armament industry of vast proportions. He's pointing out that now we've created these industries that are only there to create military equipment. That are only there to create tanks and bombs and missiles and planes and all these things. And I could name out many different industries and companies for you, but I'm sure you can already know what I'm talking about. So he's warning against this. He continues, This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwanted influence, whether sought or unsought by the military industrial complex. His words. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.  Basically what he's saying is, as these companies build up, I mean, if you're a company that makes missiles, how do you make money? Nobody's shooting missiles at each other. How are you going to make money? How are you going to be profitable? He's saying, so these companies are going to build up and there exists this risk that they may be able to influence the government to go and start shooting missiles places or giving missiles to other countries to shoot at each other. Sound familiar? He's saying there's a risk here. There's a conflict of interest here to just keep wars going to keep these companies profitable. That's an industrial complex. That's what we're talking about. So back to the university system in the United States. This is kind of the new capitalism. This is kind of the new capitalism, these companies, these businesses that get in bed with the government and make money that way. Imagine, let's just imagine, let's just use an analogy. Imagine you sell hammers for a living. Back to the university system. Now that we know what an industrial complex is, let's say that you sell hammers for a living. You have, you know, John's or Bob's hammer store and you sell hammers. You know, well here's the thing. Hammer sells are going okay, but you know, not everybody really needs a hammer, right? Not everybody needs a hammer. But then you have an idea. Then you have an idea. What if the government can give people free money or zero interest loans to buy hammers and then not only that, but I could convince the politicians and the sociopolitical culture to program, to convince everyone that they need a hammer. So people that didn't even in the past wouldn't even have thought they needed a hammer. Now they just think I need a hammer and the government will give me free money to buy a hammer. How are my hammer sales going to go? My hammer sales are going to go way up. And guess what? I can charge way more for hammers now than I could before. Because I'm selling a lot more hammers. You see in where I'm going with this? I could triple the price of hammers because everyone thinks that they need one and they get free money from the government to get a hammer. Welcome to the University Industrial Complex, folks. This is exactly what is going on and it is ruining generations of Americans. Literally destroying them before they even can start their lives. So this morning I'm going to give you two biblical reasons. Two biblical reasons to avoid the university system today. Just using the Bible. Look, it's basically a biblical decision matrix. What did Proverbs 1 verse 7 say? It says the beginning of knowledge starts with the Bible is what it was saying there. It's saying if you want to have knowledge you want to even get started with knowledge you better know what the word of God says. So homeschooling parents. I mean we're a homeschooling church here. I do not believe you should have your kids in the public school system. Homeschooling parents have already taken great lengths to pull their kids out of that system. They're not in the box. They're not in that box of thinking that you just must put your kids in daycare. You must put your kids in public school. No, homeschooling parents have already exited that.  But then they go send their kids to university. It makes no sense. It's a huge mistake. So first of all, before I give you these two reasons you say well you've got to get educated. You've got to have education. What does the Bible say? That's what we're going to look at this morning. What does the Bible say about education? Turn to Proverbs 16. Does the Bible say you should be educated? Does the Bible say that you should have education? Look at Proverbs 16. There's too many verses in the Bible on this but I'll just read you a few. Proverbs 16. Look at verse number 16. Proverbs 16. Verse number 16. So I'm going to give you two reasons but first of all I'm going to show you what the Bible says about education. About what the Bible calls knowledge and wisdom. Look at Proverbs 16 and verse number 16. Is education important before we get started this morning? Look at what the Bible says. It says how much better is it to get wisdom than gold? And to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver. The Bible here is saying if you've got a pile of gold over here I mean everybody thinks that's pretty good. Gold's good. Everybody likes gold. Everybody would want gold. Everybody would want silver. It says no. Understanding's better. Wisdom is better. It is better than any amount of money. The Bible is saying. So Ecclesiastes chapter 7. Ecclesiastes chapter 7. I'm going to read from Proverbs chapter 4 verse number 13. The Bible says in Proverbs 4, 13 it says take fast hold of instruction. Let her not go. Keep her for she is thy life. The Bible here is saying education is your life. It equates it to life itself. You know talking about how the way of the fool will lead you to the opposite of that. Ecclesiastes chapter 7, look at verse number 12. The Bible says for wisdom is a defense and money is a defense. But the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom giveth there it is again. Wisdom giveth life to them that have it. It's equating wisdom and knowledge and destruction with life itself. It sounds pretty important to me. It sounds like education is pretty important in and about because that's what people will tell you.  Wrong. The Bible says education, wisdom and knowledge is equal to life itself. It's better than gold, it's better than silver. The Bible says that it is so important that you are educated. Proverbs 1.7 says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of that. So you say I want wisdom, I want knowledge. The fear of the Lord, the word of God is where it starts. Meaning, I mean thinking about this. If I want education and I want knowledge in my life and this is the problem that most people make right off the bat. If I want education and I want knowledge and I want wisdom which everybody would say that they have or that they want. But I have no idea what the Bible says. I don't care what the Bible says.  But I want these things, you pretty much have no chance because the Bible says that the fear of the Lord, what God says, His word is the beginning of it. It's like looking at a map without a compass on it. It's like looking at a map and you've got roads and you've got left turns and right turns but there's no compass saying where north is. So you just got to guess. I mean if you go the wrong way and you go east and the map was oriented west, you have no chance of arriving where the map says you should arrive. Even though it says left turns, right turns, whatever. You don't know which way north is. That's exactly the analogy the Bible is using here. It says the beginning of this, the foundation of education is the Bible. Is God's word. That's what it is telling you. Alright, so now with that in mind, the idea, this is why we home school, by the way, is to give kids this Christ-centered biblical education. Every education has a worldview, folks. Every education, every subject out there, except maybe math, and I think they're even politicizing math today, but every subject out there has a worldview that they're teaching. It has something that they're, and it must be biblical centered or it's a waste. You could be ended up going east when you're supposed to go west. Alright, now, higher education, college, this university system in the United States today, what they're telling us today, what the world teaches is that you can't make it without this. You can't be successful without this thing.  You can't be successful without a college degree from a university. You'll make more money from a university.  I'm going to prove all these things false to you. I'm going to show you some shocking statistics this morning, and then we're just going to look at what the Bible says, and look, if you just follow what the Bible says, you're going to be fine. But it's when you start just going the way the world tells you to go, is we're going to run into a lot of trouble. Alright, so look, what does the Bible have an emphasis on? We just saw education. We just saw instruction is the word the Bible used. Knowledge, wisdom, over and over and over. Can you read Proverbs? Those words are going to come up again and again and again. Wisdom, knowledge, wisdom, knowledge. What is the difference between wisdom and knowledge? Knowledge is knowing things, getting instructed and knowing things. Wisdom is when you take those things that you know and you put them into action. Now you hear people say, look, that's a wise guy. That man, he has a lot of wisdom. He's a very wise person, because he has a lot of knowledge, but he actually puts it into action, which makes him wise. This is the difference between knowledge and wisdom. You can say that wisdom is applied knowledge. What good does it know? I met some really smart people who are fools. They know a lot of things, but they don't apply anything. You could sit here and you could listen to the Bible preach that's streamed in your face three times a week.  I know what the Bible says. I've read the Bible ten times. I've met a lot of people like that. I've read the Bible this many times, but they apply none of it.  That means nothing. You must apply it, then you're wise. So today, the problem is somewhere along the lines, college degrees have gone from, and I don't know when this is. It was further than 50 years ago, before I was born. College degrees went from gaining actual education and knowledge to just getting a piece of paper that gives you a right of passage somewhere. That transition took place long before I was on this earth. It became about that piece of paper and not about the knowledge and the wisdom that came from applying that knowledge. So the first question is, before we even get to the... This is all for introduction purposes. Before we even get to the two reasons, does the Bible say that the goal is education or the goal is a piece of paper? The Bible clearly says that the goal is instruction, knowledge, and wisdom. Very clearly. So the goal in your life is education, knowledge, and wisdom. Where to find it? It starts with the Bible. It starts with the fear of the Lord. I'm going to give you two reasons to avoid the university system.  Turn to Matthew chapter 12. Let's get into the sermon. All that was introduction. What are the two biblical reasons that you should have nothing to do with the university system today? Turn to Matthew chapter 12, the first book in the New Testament. Matthew chapter 12, and look at verse number 30. Now this is something you need to understand about God. God literally says in the Old Testament, he says, remember jealousy and envy. Jealousy is good, and envy is bad. Envy is something... Envy is coveting somebody else's stuff. If I'm envious of brother Jeff because he has a nice car, that's bad. That means I want something that he has. But if I'm jealous over something, that's a good thing. Jealousy is something that... You're jealous over something that's yours. Like I'm jealous over my wife because she's mine. It's okay to be jealous. God literally says one of his names in the Bible is jealous. And guess what? God is jealous over you.  Because why? Because you're his. That's why. It's okay for a man to be jealous over his wife. It's okay for a wife to be jealous over her husband because you belong to each other. Now if I'm envious over somebody else's wife or something like that, that's a horrible, wicked sin to be covetous over somebody else's possessions. That is wrong. That is wrong. So the Bible says jealousy is a good thing. God literally says my name is jealous. Look at verse number 30 of Matthew chapter 12. Knowing that. Knowing that God is jealous over you. Look what God says. He says, he that is not with me is against me. And he that gathereth not with me stattereth abroad. This is Jesus. Jesus says... Now I mean that's pretty harsh for most people. Jesus is saying if you're not with me, you're against me. That's pretty extreme. Wouldn't you say? I mean the disciples were with Jesus. They were all preaching the gospel with Jesus. Jesus is basically saying, hey, the people that are sitting on the sidelines in this spiritual war, they're against us. The people that are not with us are against us. And they actually, you know what they're doing? They're scattering people. They're our enemies. They're the spiritual enemies of the gospel. That's an extreme statement right there. God is saying that if you are not with me, you are literally against me. So the first reason knowing this about God, knowing this that if you're not on His side, He considers you against Him. Knowing that, the first reason you should have nothing to do with the university system in America today is because it's anti-God. It's literally not neutral. It's against God.  It's anti-Christian. It's anti-everything the Bible stands for. There's not too much to go over. You know, the Bible is against fornication. It's for fornication. It's nothing but a fornication culture in the university system. The Bible is against alcohol, drug abuse, not being sober. You know, literally go to Proverbs chapter 23. Literally 66% two-thirds of university students abuse alcohol on a regular basis. And you know this is true. We even need statistics on this. This is not surprising to anybody. Look, it just pushes university culture is totally against everything that the Bible stands for. That should be enough right there. We'll just close the book and just call it a sermon. It's against God. Okay, done. Let's pray. But oh no, let's go into some further statistics here. The Bible is talking about this culture of university system is against every single thing that the Bible teaches. It's anti-God, it's anti-Christian, it's anti-Bible. Let me give you some stats. The most recent statistics from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism estimate that about 1,500 and 19 college students age 18 to 24 die from alcohol related unintentional injuries including motor vehicle crashes. You know, that's more people that die every single year than the whole zero to 18 died of COVID in two years. Why aren't we locking these university systems down to try to save these kids? Aren't we just freaking out over people under the age of 18 dying of COVID? Everybody's got to get a shot in 16 boosters in order to not die, in order to save themselves from something that is statistically zero chance of killing them. I'm not going to go off on that. But the point is, all these kids are just dying of all these alcohol related things and nobody cares. Now here's where it gets really crazy. And this, look, I looked up this statistic like five years ago because I preached a sermon about this like four or five years ago and this statistic has doubled. This has doubled. Now this is nuts. Sexual assault in universities. Although estimating, this is a quote, although estimating the number of alcohol related sexual assaults is exceptionally challenging because they're under-reported. So it's saying that this number that I'm about to tell you is too low because it is known that these types of assaults are under-reported. So researchers have confirmed though a long-standing finding that one in five college women experienced sexual assault during their time at college. What decision could I get a father to make? Hey dad, I got something that's really good for your daughter. Fill in the blank.  She'll be happy for the rest of her life. I don't care what it is, what I'm selling. That dad are those parents. What it that is that fill in the blank. Oh, but by the way, there's a 20% chance that she's going to be raped. Who's making this decision? This is crazy. This is insane. Look at Proverbs chapter 23 verse number 29. Many of these things that I'm going to talk about this morning are detrimental to women. You say who cares about women? The Bible cares about women.  They hate young ladies. Look at Proverbs 23, 29. The Bible says who hath woe? I mean the Bible tells us this. Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath what? Wounds without a cause. Who has all these problems? You're depressed.  Babbling.  You have woe, contentions. You have friends. You have no friends. You're losing friends left and right. It says who hath redness of eyes. It says who hath wounds without cause. Who's getting literally physically assaulted is what it's saying. Who's getting fit? Who is it? It's your daughter if she goes to college. That's what it is. 20%. One in five. It talks about those that see mixed wine. It's talking about drinking alcohol. What is this college culture preaching? You know, I'm sick. I'm sick and tired of these types of stats. You don't hear these types of stats. And you don't hear about the horrible things that are happening to young ladies at universities until they're literally murdered. And then they're murdered. Then it makes the news. Then it makes the news. But look, this is pretty bad. You don't hear about the 20%. You know why? Because it's normal. You know, that college campus here in the center of town, you'll drive by that place. It's like a blue light special everywhere. There's like hundreds of blue lights there. You know why that is? That blue light program with the phones and the emergency phones, it was created in, I think, the late 80s or the early 90s. And I remember when this was put into place, because some young lady was sexually assaulted and murdered on a college campus. That campus is literally the most dangerous place in Fresno for a young lady. 10 times older. You say, oh, what about the neighborhoods here? Forget about the neighborhoods. We walked in these neighborhoods all the time. We never had a problem. That place is dangerous. Those blue lights show you how dangerous it is. Who is making this decision? The Bible tells us, look, any culture that goes against the Bible is wrong. Any culture that's anti-God, anti-Christian, pro-affornication, all this is totally wrong. And this danger is just ignored by everybody. It's literally crazy. I mean, that should be enough right there. Oh, but you need an education. But you need an education. And that's the only way to get it is to risk a 20% chance that your daughter is assaulted in that way. It's insane. Who's making these types of decisions? Here's another one on the culture side of it. Feminism is overwhelmingly pushed in this culture. And here's what makes it so crazy. It's such a dangerous situation for young ladies. Feminism, this idea of, you know, promiscuity is literally pushed upon young ladies. Turn to Titus Chapter 2. Turn to Titus Chapter 2. There's literally a nationwide college campus sex week it's called. I'm sorry to bring these things up, but it needs to be outed. Where just promiscuity is promoted and is pushed on all these young people. What does the Bible say though? It's just this idea of feminism just destroying our young ladies in this country. Look at Titus Chapter 2 in verse number 5. This is what the Bible says that a young lady should be. Let's compare this to feminism and the ideology that is pushed at the universities on these young ladies. Look at what it says in verse 5. This is what the young women should be. It says to be discreet. Feminism is like be loud. Be loud and obnoxious. That's the opposite of what the Bible says. A woman should be discreet. Chased. You know what that means? That means pure. That means pure. This is crazy, but a woman should be pure. A woman should be a virgin when she goes to her wedding day. That's what the Bible teaches. The same with a man. The same with a man. Keepers at home. What's the university teaching?  No!  Put off marriage. Put off children. That's why abortion must be a part of the feminist toolkit. Because the worst thing that could happen to some promiscuous college girl is that she gets pregnant. She must have that tool to just get rid of that pregnancy. To murder her own child so she can continue this feminist ideology and lifestyle. It's literally the opposite of the Bible. It's not a little different. It's the opposite. Good. Oh, they really hate this one. Obedient to their own husbands. Are you joking? At the universities and feminist ideology it teaches women to be in competition with men. It teaches them, no, you can do everything better than men. You're not to be different. You're not to have separate roles as in a family. You're to be in competition. Where the Bible says that the man should support his family and a woman should stay home and instruct the children, teach them the Bible, raise the children, keep the home and be obedient to her husband. It's literally the opposite of what these universities are teaching. LGBT indoctrination. Don't even get me started on that one. Just teaching them to accept all kinds of perversion in their lives. All kinds of unnaturalness in their lives. And then just focusing on a career and competition with men. This is why many young ladies go and they marry some weak puppy man that they later regret. I've seen this so many times.  Now they want a man. Now they want someone who's going to go out and take care of business. When that motherly instinct takes over and they're like, why are you so weak? Why can't you support the family? Because that's what feminism taught them. The Bible teaches that men are to be men. And women are to be chased, keepers at home, discreet, pure. It's literally the opposite, folks. It's literally the opposite. Twelve to one. University professors are liberal. I mean, just talking about liberal, anti-God versus conservative. Twelve to one. Especially in the liberal arts, which are basically the majority women. The majority women. And guess what? A poll from October 6, 2022 shows that women, young ladies, for some reason, we can't figure this out. For some reason, young women in this country are getting more and more liberal every year. The same thing is not happening with young men. But women, young women, are getting more and more liberal every single year. Why? The university system's a big part of this. All right. So look, folks, the point I'm trying to make is it's not education. It's indoctrination. It's indoctrination. It's literally an assault on the mental well-being of especially young ladies. It's an assault on the spiritual lives of these young people. And look, it's literally physical assault. I mean, who would make these decisions? So the culture is the first reason that you should have nothing to do with this university system. It's wicked. It's anti-God. Look, if you're jealous over the Lord, and you believe the things in the Bible, this should be enough for you. Nothing else should matter. It shouldn't matter if you know what, I'm just going to be poor. I'm just not going to be able to make that much money. Like, you should be jealous over the Lord, and you should do things his... Wait, wait, there's more. Turn to Proverbs chapter 22. Turn to Proverbs chapter 22. Proverbs chapter 22. Here's the second reason, as if that's not enough.  The second one is this, financial responsibility. You're like, what? I thought I had to go to college in order to make any money. I thought that's the only way to success. But guess what? Do you know the Bible? You know the Bible? It not only has relationship advice. It not only has advice on how to get to heaven. It has advice on how you should deal with everyone on this earth. It also has financial advice. The Bible will literally teach you how to handle your finances. Look at Proverbs chapter 22, and look at verse number 7. I'll just show you a couple of verses here. Proverbs chapter 22. If you open your Bible right in the middle, you'll be in the book of Psalms. If you have one book over, you'll be in the book of Proverbs. Proverbs 22. Look at verse number 7. This is the truth right here. Every verse in the Bible is true whether you like it or not. Look at the verse number 7. It says, the rich ruleeth over the poor. That's true. It's the same. This is just how it is. And then look what it says. It says, and the borrower is servant to the lender.  That's over. No, it's not.    Because this is true. The borrower is servant to the lender. Look at Psalm chapter 37. One book back in your Bible. Psalm chapter 37. So it's just saying, like, what? This is just a fact of the world.  All right? Look at Psalm chapter 37. Look at verse number 21.  Well, you're stuck there too. Look what the Bible says here. It says, the wicked borrow it and pay it back again. But the righteous show with mercy and give it.  You can't give anybody anything because you have nothing to give. So the Bible here is saying is that, look, if you borrow, you're a servant. Right?  That's why the servitude laws in the Bible make so much sense. Because the guy standing on the corner, the bum with two arms and two legs, standing on the corner with a sign that says, give me money. You know what? He doesn't have nothing. He has his labor. He has his labor. He's like, go work. That's what the Bible would say. Go work with those two arms and those two legs. You don't have nothing. You have your labor. All right? The Bible says if you borrow, you're going to end up as a servant, and then you can't just decide, I'm not going to pay it back because that's a wicked thing to do, the Bible will say. Like, oh man, what's the answer?  What's the answer? Now, let's talk about the university system. Entire generations of kids are being financially ruined before they're 20 in this country. I was watching a documentary that Garrett pointed out to me the other day. You got these kids, they're giving all these testimonies. They're going to kill themselves when they're 19. Because guess what? You know how you get a credit card? You run up a credit card for 20 grand. You know what you can do? You can just not pay that back.  It's going to ruin your credit, and you're going to have bad credit for seven years, which is also biblical, by the way. And you're going to have hard financial times for seven years, but you know what? No one's going to hunt you down and break your kneecaps. You just don't pay back a credit card.  But guess what? You know how you get out of student loan debt?  That's it. You get your bankruptcy and pay back student loan debt. It's not on the list.  I mean, talking about kids, thinking about killing themselves, because they're 50, 60, $100,000 in debt before they're even 20. Who is advising these kids in this direction? It's crazy. And the Bible just says, don't do it. Don't go in debt. You know, that's why. Are you starting to see Proverbs 1.7 come true? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge?  And they're like, whoa, that's not what the Bible says. But guess what? They're just listening to people giving them bad advice. And the sad thing is most of these people giving them this advice are their parents. That's the sad thing. So look, here's some stats for you. Here's the university industrial complex and what it's doing to people. First of all, notice how the hammer sales do a lot better when you get tied in with the government. Remember my hammer store? Guess what? Education costs, university costs have risen more than energy prices. They've risen more than housing prices. They've risen more than health care costs. I talked to somebody the other day that went and got a shot at a hospital and it cost them $18,000 for one shot. Education costs have risen higher than this. Why? Because there's so many people just beating down their doors to get into their schools. It's like, hey, just pump up the price. The government's giving out free money. I knew a guy like this. A guy like this was my roommate in college. I'm living on $20 a week trying to pay as I go. And this guy's living like a king. And he told me. I'm like, what in the world? How do you afford all this? He's like, it's free money, man. He's free money. It has to be paid back. It has to be paid back. It's a racket. It's subsidized. It's a scam. It's crazy. Turn to Luke chapter 14. No other decision, here's the thing, folks. No other decision would be made like this. It is a failure. It is a failure of a thinking logical mind to do risk reward analysis. Does that make sense? To do risk reward analysis. Look at Luke chapter 14 and verse number 28. Jesus warned against this, too. Look what he says. He says, for which of you? Luke chapter 14 and verse number 28. Jesus is trying to teach risk reward analysis, here. Luke 14, verse number 21. He says, which of you? He's like, who would do this? Which of you intending to build a tower, sit it down not first, and count of the cost, whether you have sufficient to finish it? He's saying, somebody that's got a building project in front of them, the first thing that you're going to do is be like, hey, how big is this building going to be? How much material am I going to need to buy here? What's the price of a 2x4? You've seen the price of a 2x4 lately? Probably a lot of people can't finish their tower now, but that's beside the point. Jesus is saying, hey, do risk and reward analysis. He's saying, nobody would just start building something without even knowing what it's going to cost. Nobody would do that, yep. But you're getting sold a hammer today. You're getting sold a hammer today and here's the sales pitch. Here's the sales pitch for the hammer. Hey, you might not even really need this hammer. That's the first thing. You know, the hammer might not work. The hammer might not work. You have to hang on to it for six years. And at the end of six years, it might not even work for you. All right? After that, you have to use it in a very specific way. By the way, this way may change how you use the hammer after six years. And after it changes after six years, that hammer might not even be the right tool anymore. And oh, by the way, you've got to pay me right now for it. Full price. You've got to pay me right now for it, and you've got to pay me five times what it could possibly make you in a year. And oh, by the way, you could make money. You're like, do I need the hammer? No, you don't. I said, they don't tell you that. They tell you, yeah, you've got to have the hammer. You'll just make $0 a year. Kids today are being put in financial ruin before they're 20 years old. The outstanding federal loan balance is $1.6 trillion. That's hard to even imagine that number. Let's break it down to just individual people. 330 million people in the United States. 43 million people have student loan debt. That's a lot of people. That's a significant percentage of the population of the United States. The average student loan debt is almost $41,000 at this point. And I've met many people where it's well over 100 grand. Well over that. The average person pays off. These are the people that don't default. The average person pays off their student loan debt when they're in their 40s. 40s. 20-some years later. Look, it's literal magic beans that are being sold to people today. And no, this is even worse. You say, well, yeah, but they get a good job. They get a good job and they make enough money to be able to pay back that student loan debt. That works for a percentage of them. That works for a percentage of them. But let's just do some math this morning. These are real numbers. If you start college when you're 18 years old, there's a 60% chance that you will finish six years later. Because a four-year degree takes you six, by the way. You're like, what? Hey, we're going to keep you here as long as possible and charge you as much as we possibly can. We don't want you to finish in four years. So look, 60% of people that start when they're 18 finish and get a degree. You're like, oh, sounds pretty good. 27% of people that have a degree get a job in that field. 27%. So if you want to do statistical math, if you want to find out how many people start out when they're 18 and go to college that end up with a job in their field, all you have to do is get 0.6 times 0.27. And guess what? You know what that number is? It's about 16%. 16% of people that go to college when they're 18 years old end up with a job in the field that they got a degree in. 16%. But guess what? They all owe the money. 100% of them owe the money.   So I don't owe every single penny that you borrowed. But I didn't get it and nobody cares. It's like going to a casino. You see the casino billboards. I explain this to Jacob all the time. You go by the casino billboards and you see all these people all happy like, like, winning. Like, here's how nice the casino people are. You can work for 40 years in your life. 40 years. You could save about $500,000. You go into a casino and you could lose it in two hands of cards.  That's all nice there.    I know somebody that did that and, like, they tried to kill themselves after something like that.  Like, what kind of wicked person would do that? University system. They'll charge you every single penny. You don't even get a degree. You owe all the money. Now, here's some even better statistics for you. Now, listen to me. That started out when they're 18. How many people do you know that decide, hey, I'm going to go back to college when I'm 24 or 25? I'm going to go back and I'm going to get that degree when I'm 24 or 25 years old. If you start out in college and go back to college when you're 24 years old, there is a literal 20% chance that you will graduate with a degree. 20% chance. You take that times the .27. There's a literal 5% chance that you will end up with it. If you go back to college when you're 24, you will end up with a job that you get from that degree. 5%. You think about a young lady that goes to college, goes back to school when she's 24 or 25 years old. She has literally 5 times the chance of getting sexually assaulted and she doesn't graduate. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's so backwards, this culture that we live in. They all are financially ruining themselves for literally no payback. You know what? If you're a parent that's listening to this on YouTube or on the internet and you're like, you know what, I made this mistake with my kids. You know what? Admit fault. Admit fault. And if I was a parent that made this mistake with my kids, I would admit to them that I'm sorry I did that. That was a mistake. And I would do everything that I could in my power as their parent to help them pay that debt that I led them into back. That's what I would do as a parent. But look, this backwards culture that we're living in folks, like if you know what the Bible says and you see people making decisions like this, you're like, it's a mind cult.  It's crazy. It's crazy. So one of the two reasons. The two reasons are it's an anti-God culture. Be a little jealous over God, will you? God's done so much for you in your life. You didn't deserve to be saved. You deserve to go to heaven. God's done so much for you.  And the second part is just financial ruin. It's just anti-biblical financial advice. So you're saying, okay, I agree with you, pastor. You know, but turn back to Proverbs chapter 22. I agree with you. But how do I get that education? How do I get that education? What do I do? Here's the thing. Think differently than everybody else. Get outside of this mind cult. Realize that most things you've been taught in your life are wrong when it comes to the Bible. Most things, as compared to the Bible that you've been taught in school, maybe even taught by your parents, are wrong. If you're just going to read the Bible and you're going to be like, you know what, I'm going to read the Bible. Here's all you've got to do in your Christian life, folks. Just learn the Bible. Listen to the Bible. Just say, no matter what it says, no matter how uncomfortable that makes me, I'm just going to do what the Bible says. That's it. And you will be successful in your life. That's all it takes. You've got to get out of this mind cult that you were raised in. We all have to do it. Look at Proverbs 22 and verse number 29.  As a young man, this might be the most important verse that you could read as a practical application verse in the Bible. When it comes to, I'm a young man. How do I move forward in this life? What do I do? What do I do? I know. Okay, you convinced me. I'm not going to the university. Now what? Number 29. Look what the Bible says. Every verse in the Bible is true. See that a man diligent in his business. The Bible says he shall stand before kings. He shall not stand before mean men, mean their mean average, mean is like the mean of a set of numbers. It's saying, this man, a man that's diligent. This guy is two things. He's diligent. What's diligence? Diligence is persistence over time. It's being consistent over time, all right? It's not being, hey, I'm going to work hard today. No, it's you go home and you work hard every single day. This man's diligent, but he's diligent, not just diligent. He's diligent what? In his business. He's diligent in what he does for a living. This means this man is highly skilled. He's highly skilled, and he's consistent with his skills. And the reason that he's highly skilled, by the way, is because he's diligent. This is anybody. You're like, how do I get to be, and you know what the Bible says? This is true, and I will prove this to you. I've seen this so many times in my 23 year career, that this man that is diligent in his business, he will stand before kings. People, turn to 2nd Chronicles chapter two. I'll give you an example in the Bible of this. I'll give you an example of the Bible. I'm sorry, I'm going to keep you a little bit longer today, and I'm going to give you an answer to this question on how you solve this, how you fill this gap. I'm not going to go to the university, what do I do? The Bible says, be diligent in your business. This man that is diligent in his business, he will be sought out by people. People will come after him. People will need him. People will, they will do whatever it takes to get him. Look at 2nd Chronicles chapter 22. Solomon is starting a super important building project. He is building God's first temple. You think this is important? He's building the temple of God, and he starts reaching out to kings that his friends, that his dad was friends with for help. He's reaching out for materials, for labor, for things that he'll need to build the temple. Look at verse number one of 2nd Chronicles chapter two. The Bible says in Solomon determined to build a house for the name of the Lord and a house for his kingdom, two houses. And Solomon told out three score and 10,000 men to bear burdens and four score to hewn the mountain and 3,600 to oversee them.  You got four score, 1,000 to hewn the mountain and 3,600, so there's a lot less of the guys overseeing them supervisors. There's only 3,600 of them. There's tens of thousands of the other workers. And Solomon sent to hear him, the king of Tyre, who was friends with David, his dad, saying, ask thou, deal with David my father, and did send him cedars to build a man house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. He's like, hey, I need some materials. And Tyre, where they lived up in Lebanon, had a lot of good cedar wood. Behold, I'm building a house for the name of the Lord, my God, to dedicate it to him and to burn him sweet incense. And look at verse five, and the house which I build is great, for great is our God above all gods. But who is able to build them in house, seeing that heaven and heavens cannot contain him? Who am I then that I should build them in house, save only to burn sacrifice before him? Then look what he says, send me thou therefore a man cunning to work in gold, silver, and in brass and iron, and purple and crimson and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me and Judah, and in Jerusalem whom David my father did provide. Now skip down to verse number 11. So notice how Solomon had tens of thousands of people. But he asked the king of Tyre for building materials, all these things. And he's like, hey, by the way, send me one man. But it's one specific type of man. Look at verse number 11 of second Chronicles chapter two. Then hear him, the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon because the Lord had loved his people and he had made the king over them. Hear him said, moreover, blessed be the Lord God of Israel that made heaven and earth, who had given David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding that might build in house for the Lord and a house for his kingdom. And now I have sent 70,000 men. Is that what he says? Look what he says. And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding of hear him my father's. The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, so it goes through all these things that this guy can do. And to grave any manner of graving, and guess what, look at this. And to find out every device which shall be put to him. This guy can grave anything out of metal. He can make anything out of brass, out of silver, out of gold. And guess what, you know what else he can do? He can figure out any machine. He can figure out anything that's put in front of him. With thy cunning man and the cunning man of my Lord, David, thy father. Look around you.  You know what you see? You know what you see? You see cranes. You see trains. You see trucks. You know what you're seeing? You're seeing industry. You're seeing industry all around you. You're seeing production and the means of production. You're seeing a massive economy in this state. I've lived in many other states, and I've never seen anything like this. Anything. I've been to a lot of other states, I should say. I haven't lived in that many other states. I've lived in two other states. But do you know what all these people need? Do you know what all these people need? They have lumber. They have steel. They have brick. They have all these things. You know what they need? They need cunning men. That's what they need. And when they find that cunning men, you'll stand before kings. That cunning man will stand before kings even today. Turn to Daniel chapter 12. Daniel chapter 12. So what's the answer? How do I become that cunning man? First of all, you have a Bible foundation. Proverbs chapter 1 and verse number 7.   Give them that compass that they have that can begin their knowledge, that can begin their wisdom, and that biblical instruction is what they need. Turn to Daniel chapter 12. At age 10, these kids should be starting to be self-starters. They should be readers. This is the difference between the homeschool kids and the public school kids. Right here. The homeschool kids should be self-starters in their own education. They should be teaching themselves. They should be wanting to read. Reading is the engine that drives education in the homeschool child. They will love to read. But guess what? You put them in an institutionalized school. They're not gonna love to read. They're gonna read what they have to read. You put them in front of the TV all day long. They're not gonna want to read anything. They got questions about things? How do things work? Look it up. You know that we've never been in a time in history. Look at Daniel chapter 12 and verse number 4. This is an end times prophecy that's super interesting right here. Look at Daniel chapter 12 and verse number 4.  Even to the time of the end, many shall run to and fro, meaning people can be traveling all over the place. What do you see today? People traveling all over the place. Could you say that 100 years ago? You could just easily travel across the world. I could travel across the world and be there in 14 hours today. That's a huge Bible prophecy right there. But look what it says in the last part of that verse. It says, and knowledge shall be increased. There has never been a time in the history of mankind where pretty much all knowledge is available to the common man. You could literally learn anything about anything just as a common person today. All you need is a connection to the internet. All knowledge is freely available. I mean that's a sermon in itself. The point is, you know, the specific educational things that you will need, whether it's electricity or mechanics or math, today people, there's such a shortage of people that people literally pay you to learn these things. It's the opposite of the university system. People literally pay you to teach you these things. There's too many programs to list. If you have questions, just ask them. There's too many programs to list on how to be successful without the university system. There's too many options to discuss. There's simply too many ways to win. There's too many ways. You say, why? You say, why? The reason that there's so much opportunity now is because there's no cunning men. Because there's a massive shortage of cunning men, of men that have skills that can be applied to build things, to produce things. You know, 80% of construction companies cannot find enough skilled workers, 80%. The vast majority of construction companies even in our area, they don't have enough people. Most of them, you're like, oh, there's no help wanted. You know why they don't have help wanted science? Because they simply quit looking. Because they can't find anybody that is willing to learn, that is willing to be what? To be diligent in his business. That's why. But contrast this to this. Now I'm talking about this thing that you're being told that you can't be successful without a university degree.  The university industrial complex has created twice as many bachelor degrees as there are jobs to build those degrees. You know, there's all these bachelor degrees everywhere. Bachelor degrees everywhere, and there's just no jobs. There's half as many jobs. Now you can understand, you can understand, here's the truth that I can tell you, over 23 years of engineering experience, this is why, no matter where I have worked in the last 23 years as an electrical engineer, you saw that? That sounds pretty good. There's always been trained people that make more than me. Always, every single place I've worked. What? Why? Because they're coming in. Because coming in, they know how to do stuff. Every job that I've ever had, there are trained people that make more money than the engineers there. Every time. Many times the boss. I work for so many bosses. So many great bosses. There's no degree. I work for them. Why? The diligent, the diligent in their business. That's why I turned to 1st Thessalonians chapter four. Here's some fallacies. Here's some fallacies, and I'm gonna prove this from the Bible, that the Bible tells you that this is false, but here's some fallacies that they'll tell you about the skilled trades versus getting a university degree. So the money's just fake, it's just false. This is a lie. This is a lie. Be diligent in your business. You'll make plenty of money to survive, trust me. 1st Thessalonians chapter four. Here's a fallacy. Here's a fallacy that I was taught, and that I still hear taught today.   You go on, you have a physical job.   What's the truth? Let's look at what the Bible says. What does the Bible say you should do? Look at 1st Thessalonians chapter four, in verse number 11. Let's just look at the Bible, and let's just do what the Bible says. How's that sound? Look at 1st Thessalonians chapter four, in verse number 11, those T-books in the end of the Old Testament, or the New Testament, sorry. 1st Thessalonians chapter four, look at verse number 11, and that you should study to be client. Here we're learning things, right? We're having knowledge. And to do your own business, and to what? And to work with your own hands. Paul is telling the people in this church, work, work with your hands, as we commanded you. And then he equates that, he equates that with this in verse number 12, he says that you may walk honestly towards them that are without you. You know what he's saying? Take a glott, work with your hands, you ever seen the bumper sticker?  That's this Bible verse right here, paraphrased. It's saying go out and work with your hands, make your own money, and you know, have an honest job. You know, there's a lot of jobs out there that make a lot of money that aren't honest jobs.  I wouldn't want my son doing that. Wouldn't want my kids like, that's not an honest living. That's not working with your hands and producing something that people need as the Bible is saying here. He's like, hey, go out and build something that does something for society, for the community around you, and make an honest living. That's what Paul's saying. Make an honest living. Work with your hands. But the world out there is telling you that's bad. That's bad.  And then just give them that ticket. You're like, I was a drunk for six years. Oh, give me your drunk ticket.  That's not what the Bible says. That's not what the Bible says. Look, make an honest living. Working with your hands. And guess what? This health thing is a lie too. They're actually coming out saying, if you have a desk job now, it's like smoking. There's nothing worse for your health than sitting behind a computer screen. It ruins your eyes. It ruins your heart. Ruins your back. Ruins your knees. It ruins everything. That's why you're seeing all the stand-up desks now. Because sitting behind a desk and having that golden office job is ruining your health. It's making you overweight. But here's the thing.  How many people think that he was the laborer up there slapping the mortar around? No, he is the boss. He's telling people what to do. I've seen 24, 25, 26 year old cunning men running hundreds of people. Hundreds of people. Why? Because they were smarter and better looking. Well, they're diligent in their business. I remember, I had 10 years ago, before we moved to California, I had the privilege of working at the biggest power plant, the biggest power station in three states. Massive machines, massive place. You know, the most cunning man at that place was this man that started out in the lowest position there. But he was an operator. He started out as an operator, kind of a, I won't mention his name, but he didn't just go out, when he was told to go out and open valve number 284, he didn't go out and just open valve number 284. He said, why am I opening this valve and closing this valve? How does this system work? How does this machine work? How does this plant work? That guy knew every single thing about thousands and thousands and thousands of points of control in that station. You know what he does now? I had, I valued his knowledge and his wisdom so much that every project that I had, every system that I was working on, I said, you make sure John's in this meeting. I want John in this meeting. And then I would sit there and I'd throw out some idea to the group and I'd look at John, is that a good idea or is that gonna blow the place up? Because he knows, because he knew everything. Why? Because he was diligent in his business. You know what that man does now? That man's in charge of every single generation employee in the entire state. College degree, none. Technical degree, none. Diligent in his business. He has the respect of thousands of people. You know what? The CEO wants to know something about one of those generating plants. You know who they talk to? He talks to that guy. He's like, get me that guy. Because that guy, because he was diligent in his business, he stands before kings. You see? He had knowledge and he applied it and he got wisdom. He didn't need some piece of paper. He didn't need anything. You figure out how those bricks fit together. You figure out how those systems work. Guy a few years ago in the church, he's like, I don't know, they give me these drawings sometimes at work but the informant's gone and wants me to figure out the drawings. He's like, I don't like looking at those drawings. Now you look at those drawings, you learn those drawings.  If you do that, why? Because there's nobody. There's nobody that wants to do that. There's nobody that wants to do that. Learn them, push yourself. That's what it takes, folks. That's what diligence means. If it was hard or if it was easy, everybody would do it. It's hard, but do it. The cunning man was in charge. And the cunning man is the man that the king will call for every single time. And guess what? Guess what? You won't have money problems. You won't have money problems because you know what the Bible says.  You'll make decent money. When the king's calling for you, you don't have money problems, folks. By the way, money's not our goal in this Christian life. Even if it were true, even if it were true that you could make more money going to college, which is a total lie. Diligence is the difference. Even if it were true, I still wouldn't send my kids there. Are you kidding me? The Bible's more important to me. If none of these things were true, if you would be poor, if you didn't go to college, and if your body would be broken by the time you were 50, if you didn't go to college, you know what? I'm jealous for the Lord. I'm jealous for the Lord. And I'm jealous for my family. I'm jealous for my daughter. And I will protect those things over any worldly thing, anything. I will never sacrifice my children to this satanic beast ever. Ever. Because I'm on the Lord's side. That's why. This should be the Christian's answer to this. Look, folks, let me just wrap it up here this morning. We all have stories. I'm sure you all have stories about somebody that you know that went to college and came back a completely different person. I'm sure you have all have stories. The reason for it is the reasons I brought up to you today. You know, these kids, they went to college, they came back completely different. And look, not in a good way. Not in a good way. The culture war is being lost in this country. Let me just share something with you that I read yesterday on accident. On accident. Russia. Russia. Everyone's like, everyone hates Russia today. Look what Russia did in their state government. Like the Russian federal government did this just a few days ago. Russia's, we're talking about the culture war here. Russia's state government has voted to fully ban LGBTQ pedophilia and sex change propaganda in the country following the final reading of a bill on Thursday. The legislation called the protection of traditional values was supported by all 397 MPs in the lower house of the country's parliament, passing without any objections or absentations. The bill would outlaw such propaganda in advertising, books, movies, and media. It's widely seen as a follow up to a 2013 law which banned the dissemination of LGBTQ materials among those under 18 in Russia, but this new legislation applies to minors and adults. You won't read that in the Western media. No, but Russia's got a lot of problems, all right? You can't preach the gospel in Russia. But look, you're saying, well, people in the United States would be like, that's anti-freedom, but guess what? If freedom means freedom to be a pervert and freedom to hurt children, count me as anti-freedom too. Look, these countries, Russia being the example here, they're looking at the West and what has happened to the West and they're being like, man, we don't want that happen to us. Because this culture war was lost in this country in like 20 years. You know how it was lost? It was lost through movies. It was lost through TV. It was lost through media and it was lost through the university systems in this country. They pushed all this perversion and all this anti-God wickedness on everybody. You know what, it made a difference. It worked. It's destroying us, especially our young ladies in this country. Other countries are literally looking at us and they're like, we don't want that to happen to us. Other countries that you can't even really say are godly countries. They're just like, we don't want that happening to us. The Christian America with the culture war the way it is has no choice but to fall back, but to exit the public school system, but to get in a good Bible preaching church and teach that to your children but then send them to university? Nah, not me. The nice thing is that everyone goes, as everyone goes this way, folks, as everyone goes this way for your children, there's gonna be tons of opportunity. There's gonna be tons of opportunity. When I see the vast majority of the sheep walking across this, walking over this cliff and look, it doesn't make me happy to see other people's children going the wrong way. But if there is a silver lining, it is that the Bible believing Christian child that doesn't walk off that cliff with everybody else, there will be so much opportunity. Look, we're realizing it. I laugh.  I laugh. I laugh. There's so much opportunity. Get in a good church, ask questions, everything you will do well. Your children will do well. It is possible today to raise children that grow up, are successful, and that still wanna serve the Lord with their life. It's possible. But you can't go that way. You have to go this way.
