I Am Yours, I am yours, I am yours s and me,

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:10.869
Lord, I am Your Welcome to
the Gospel Center pro life podcast. This
3
00:00:11.029 --> 00:00:14.390
episode we're going to look at the
subject of birth control from a biblical and
4
00:00:14.669 --> 00:00:18.789
from a pro life perspective. This
is a very controversial but important subject,
5
00:00:18.829 --> 00:00:32.060
so stay tuned. I felt show
passish, touch your heart. Use Me.
6
00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:39.450
Welcome to the Gospel centered pro life
podcasts. We appreciate you guys listening
7
00:00:39.770 --> 00:00:43.049
and, as always, we appreciate
you guys sharing this podcast. We hope
8
00:00:43.130 --> 00:00:46.210
it is an encouragement to you guys, but also we want it to be
9
00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:52.240
an encouragement to other people. The
goal is to equip people and to help
10
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.600
people think through from a Biblical perspective, from a Gospel Center perspective, a
11
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.359
lot of the issues that have to
do with pro life stuff, with the
12
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.150
main focus on sidewalk counseling, because
that's what we do, sidewalk outreach,
13
00:01:04.829 --> 00:01:08.790
ministering to men and women at the
local abortion centers. That's our heart,
14
00:01:08.950 --> 00:01:12.069
that's what God has called us to
and that's what we want to equip you
15
00:01:12.109 --> 00:01:15.230
guys to do, and that's what
these podcasts are centered around, even though
16
00:01:15.269 --> 00:01:19.700
not every time we cover a subject. Does that have to do with sidewalks?
17
00:01:19.659 --> 00:01:23.099
The reality is, though, the
conversation probably started on the sidewalks,
18
00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:26.579
as you and I are out there
and you know, we have conversations with
19
00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:30.459
each other and we have conversation with
our other counselors that are out there.
20
00:01:32.019 --> 00:01:34.049
Things come up, they might have
a question about their hey, can you
21
00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:38.489
guys do a podcast or we think
that? So podcast about that, because
22
00:01:38.530 --> 00:01:42.170
a lot of our topics ared the
the desire to remain consistent. Yeah,
23
00:01:42.209 --> 00:01:46.329
and in what we think, say
and believe. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
24
00:01:46.370 --> 00:01:49.879
Yeah, so we we put subjects
out there that we think will equip
25
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.959
people and answer questions that we see
come up often times. And I know
26
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.079
we did a couple of weeks ago
a podcast about how to deal with people
27
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.790
who are coming to the abortion center, mainly plan parenthood, who well,
28
00:02:02.870 --> 00:02:07.229
other abortion centers to who do other
things other than abortion. The Abortion Center
29
00:02:07.270 --> 00:02:10.629
here on the troupe drive, they
only do abortions, right, so we
30
00:02:10.750 --> 00:02:14.189
deal with people that are here for
an abortion or have had an abortion,
31
00:02:14.270 --> 00:02:16.699
but there's other people that come to
like plan parenthood and stuff, who are
32
00:02:16.740 --> 00:02:20.900
coming for I mean we talked about
some of those things. Some are coming
33
00:02:20.939 --> 00:02:27.620
for like conversion therapy, right,
this isn't the right term, or harm
34
00:02:27.699 --> 00:02:34.810
a hormone therapy for trans transitioning,
yeah, into a different gender. Yeah,
35
00:02:34.889 --> 00:02:38.289
yeah, and they're people that come
for various things, that Plant parenthood,
36
00:02:38.289 --> 00:02:43.050
and some of those people that we
encounter the plant parent who'd come for
37
00:02:43.169 --> 00:02:46.879
birth control. And one of the
questions that we have a lot from people
38
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:52.159
is should Christians be using birth control
right? And I think I think we
39
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.520
have to say right off from the
start that, you know, we're not
40
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:02.349
medical experts. Hmmm, and there
is some controversy around this. It's not
41
00:03:02.590 --> 00:03:06.909
like it's a settled thing for some
people to settled thing, like they've got
42
00:03:06.990 --> 00:03:10.509
it figured out. Christians should not
use birth control at all. Some people
43
00:03:10.509 --> 00:03:14.819
would say who have it, they
think have it figured out, would say
44
00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:17.300
Christians are okay using birth control.
So I think we have to acknowledge that
45
00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:23.780
there is this tension and there's still
some questions and we're going to talk about
46
00:03:23.020 --> 00:03:28.250
certain things again with the focus on
equipping you guys at the abortion centers and
47
00:03:28.650 --> 00:03:31.729
you know, certainly, I think
any subject that we approach, when we're
48
00:03:31.729 --> 00:03:38.650
talking about human life, we have
to approach very carefully, very thoughtfully and,
49
00:03:38.810 --> 00:03:43.080
of course, very biblically. That's
it, kind of the the angle
50
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.199
we're going to be coming from as
it pertains to birth control. So we've
51
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:51.360
got, like we often do,
an article that wonderful Vicki wrote here,
52
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.240
and there's certain premises that we're going
to be talking about, just kind of
53
00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:00.590
going through these certain premises and we're
going to talk around those biblically and then
54
00:04:00.550 --> 00:04:05.710
practically. And the first premise here
is that human life is sacred, and
55
00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:09.550
I'll think that's going to be an
argument for any of our people that are
56
00:04:09.590 --> 00:04:14.060
listening. Hey, human life is
sacred, has a sacred value above and
57
00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:18.779
beyond animal life and all of that. Right, human beings are made in
58
00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:21.660
the image of God. Genesis one
hundred and twenty seven, God created man
59
00:04:21.779 --> 00:04:25.889
in his own image and image of
God. He created him male and female.
60
00:04:25.930 --> 00:04:30.250
He created them. Human beings are
made in God's image and that,
61
00:04:30.529 --> 00:04:35.689
though, has to be the foundation
when we're talking about birth control, right,
62
00:04:35.769 --> 00:04:40.720
when we're talking about bringing new lives
into this world, when we're talking
63
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.120
about abortion. Of course, if
human life was just like animal life,
64
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.439
then this debate would be null and
void, right. Why are we in
65
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.519
having this conversation. Why do we
stand in front of abortion centers? I
66
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:56.189
mean, certainly it's wrong to abuse
animals, but we eat them, right,
67
00:04:56.310 --> 00:04:59.350
we eat them for dinner. Right, they didn't in the garden of
68
00:04:59.430 --> 00:05:02.430
eating until the fall. Correct.
Yet kind of said I wish I'd been
69
00:05:02.509 --> 00:05:06.939
back to that time because I like
animals. Like them to there's very tasty.
70
00:05:08.540 --> 00:05:11.420
Actually it's what Peter stands where.
You know that right, people eating
71
00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:15.860
tasty animals. Yeah, but point
is that animal life and human life is
72
00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:21.089
different. Yeah, well, animals
in humans have some of the same characteristics,
73
00:05:21.569 --> 00:05:27.050
but human beings are the only creature
that God had made in his own
74
00:05:27.329 --> 00:05:30.410
image. Should that's premise number one, and and the the Bible is clear.
75
00:05:30.490 --> 00:05:33.930
That shown a murder. So this
premise is absolutely critical when we're talking
76
00:05:33.930 --> 00:05:41.639
about birth control, because are their
forms of birth control that do indeed violate
77
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:48.360
this premise, that that they treat
human life as not sacred because it destroys
78
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:54.110
human life. But you've got to
be operating in this discussion from that just
79
00:05:54.509 --> 00:06:00.509
first most base Dick Truth. Human
life is sacred because God created us in
80
00:06:00.750 --> 00:06:04.699
his image, and so when we're
talking about birth control, there's basically two
81
00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:11.699
different kinds. There's kinds that that
either are going to prevent the egg from
82
00:06:12.139 --> 00:06:16.579
being fertilized and so a human life
is not yet created. Yeah, and
83
00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:23.370
then there's kinds that prevent that fertilized
egg from implanting, yeah, or can
84
00:06:23.410 --> 00:06:27.810
actually destroy the fertilized egg, and
in that case that's going to violate this
85
00:06:27.930 --> 00:06:30.930
first premise. Right. They those
are what are called the board of fashioned
86
00:06:30.209 --> 00:06:34.600
yeah, and and those that because
they cause an abortion, because any time
87
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:42.319
a fertilized egg is destroyed, that
is a violation of that first premise.
88
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.680
Yeah, and that is of course. I mean, none of that would
89
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.870
even matter if we didn't believe that
life begins at conception, right, and
90
00:06:49.509 --> 00:06:54.629
we certainly do write believe that life
begins at conception. It's the only logical
91
00:06:54.709 --> 00:06:57.790
place for us to say that life
begins. You know. Yet the some
92
00:06:57.910 --> 00:07:00.750
of the pro abortion people that will
say, you know, life begins at
93
00:07:00.829 --> 00:07:05.180
birth, or life begins at when
the brain function is at a certain level.
94
00:07:05.779 --> 00:07:10.980
You know, it's so all of
all of that is just a subjective
95
00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:15.730
and there's really no solid from all
of that, even like from birth.
96
00:07:15.850 --> 00:07:17.529
I mean you say, well,
that's not a subject that's an objective time
97
00:07:18.290 --> 00:07:24.529
period that takes place. But you're
trying to have me believe that five seconds
98
00:07:24.569 --> 00:07:27.970
before or birth it's not alive.
That's ridiculous. And a child at the
99
00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:32.639
same age that's born early, dude, they are they less value because they
100
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.639
were born? Surely because the the
time of birth wasn't they were developed for
101
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.160
forty four weeks, like in in
a jumical birth. But that does lead
102
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:46.389
to the second premise, to yeah, unborn humans are loved by God from
103
00:07:46.910 --> 00:07:50.230
conception. So we believe that life
begins at conception. Right again, I
104
00:07:50.269 --> 00:07:55.029
don't think there's any other logical plays
where you could say this is when life
105
00:07:55.029 --> 00:07:59.860
begins, this is when a unique
organism comes to being, except for conception.
106
00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:03.980
Right, right, and even biblical
Bibly, I mean, because everything
107
00:08:03.220 --> 00:08:09.379
that we hopefully impart in our podcast
is is based on biblical tree. Yeah,
108
00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:13.050
and so we see in the scripture
that God is the one. In
109
00:08:13.050 --> 00:08:16.569
Jeremiah, chapter one, verse five, he says, before I formed you,
110
00:08:16.689 --> 00:08:20.810
I knew you and before you were
born, I consecrated to your eyes,
111
00:08:20.889 --> 00:08:26.089
set you apart as a prophet to
the nation's yeah, so Jeremiah was
112
00:08:26.250 --> 00:08:31.360
known by God and of course this
scripture implies and says very, very specifically
113
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.399
that God is the one that formed
him before I formed you. So who
114
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:39.000
formed him? God did. I
knew you. So this even speaks of
115
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.789
and we're not going to go here, I don't think, per se,
116
00:08:43.070 --> 00:08:46.590
but the speaks of the knowledge of
God before he was even conceived. It's
117
00:08:46.629 --> 00:08:50.590
like God knew him before he's even
can see and get into a lot of
118
00:08:50.950 --> 00:08:56.779
theological depth as as it concerns that. Of course God knows the in from
119
00:08:56.779 --> 00:08:58.620
the beginning. God, it knows
every life that comes to pass, and
120
00:08:58.779 --> 00:09:07.299
God certainly knew Jeremiah. But we
do believe that human life is precious.
121
00:09:07.299 --> 00:09:11.049
That's like the basic premise of being
pro life or being against abortion. It's
122
00:09:11.169 --> 00:09:18.210
wrong because life begins at conception,
in between conception and birth, there's life
123
00:09:18.330 --> 00:09:22.450
there. As a society we've said
that life doesn't have value, but God's
124
00:09:22.450 --> 00:09:26.639
word says that it does. Yeah, when I was looking through this,
125
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.679
but I don't think I had ever
really noticed this, but in Luke one
126
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.879
hundred and fifteen, he will be
filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in
127
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:39.549
his mother's womb. Yeah, that
really struck me. I mean talk about
128
00:09:39.549 --> 00:09:45.110
the value that God has placed on
the unboard child. He has already filled
129
00:09:45.269 --> 00:09:50.309
that that unborn child, with the
Holy Spirit. Yeah. So I think
130
00:09:50.309 --> 00:09:58.299
there's really no doubt biblically that from
conception that child is loved by God,
131
00:09:58.500 --> 00:10:01.899
known by God, created by God
and therefore valued by God from from that
132
00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:07.059
moment of conception. Absolutely. And
so, just kind of moving along our
133
00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:11.610
third premises, we are called to
protect human life from the moment of conception.
134
00:10:11.690 --> 00:10:16.250
Yeah, and so that's why we
stand in front of an abortion center.
135
00:10:16.330 --> 00:10:18.690
Yep. That's why we are calling
out to the bombs that come over
136
00:10:18.769 --> 00:10:22.240
and receive literature and hell, that's
what we're pleading with him not to go
137
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.840
in that place. Not because we
think that what goes on there is just
138
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:33.519
a bad idea or just a bad
medical procedure. Mean, certainly those places
139
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.669
are not safe, but it's more
than just a medical procedure that takes place.
140
00:10:37.710 --> 00:10:43.350
A human life is destroyed and we
are called to protect human life.
141
00:10:43.509 --> 00:10:46.750
Right. Lots of verses that that. That tell us that one of the
142
00:10:46.070 --> 00:10:52.179
the when, again, when I
was looking through researching this article again,
143
00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:54.940
I had never really noticed this,
but in in the verse where talks about
144
00:10:56.179 --> 00:11:01.659
how the angel speaks to Mary,
says that she has conceived through the Holy
145
00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:05.330
Spirit. And then it says right
after she hurries to her cousin Elizabeth.
146
00:11:05.370 --> 00:11:13.090
So this is presumably immediately after the
conception of Jesus of the baby in her
147
00:11:13.169 --> 00:11:20.279
womb and as she hurries immediately.
So this is a newly conceived baby in
148
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.360
her womb, right, unless I'm
misreading no, and and the the baby
149
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:30.960
and Elizabeth's womb leaps for joy.
So there's there's two babies here, one
150
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.149
who is leaping for joy in the
womb, which is very telling, but
151
00:11:35.549 --> 00:11:43.509
recognizing already the specialness of that other
baby in the womb who is newly conceived.
152
00:11:43.789 --> 00:11:48.340
and to me I think that's an
argument for again that from conception that
153
00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:56.059
that child is is honored and loved
and valued by God. Yeah, yeah,
154
00:11:56.379 --> 00:12:01.379
absolutely, and I just to piggyback
on that. If you're looking at
155
00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:05.049
those terms in the Greek, you
look at and Luke chapter one, especially
156
00:12:05.809 --> 00:12:09.690
where it talks about the baby leapt
in her womb, and Luke chapter one
157
00:12:09.809 --> 00:12:13.330
talking about about John The baptist.
The word there's breathos, right, so
158
00:12:13.450 --> 00:12:18.240
that's a Greek word referring to an
infant. So yeah, later on when
159
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.960
it talks about Mary Holding Jesus.
After Jesus is born, that same word
160
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.360
is used. Yeah, breathos.
It's the same, same word. So,
161
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.710
biblically, by the Holy Spirit,
Luke is recording, the baby in
162
00:12:31.750 --> 00:12:35.509
the womb is breathos, right,
a baby, a life that's conceived.
163
00:12:35.870 --> 00:12:39.309
Yeah, and then the baby outside
of the womb, referring to Jesus,
164
00:12:39.429 --> 00:12:43.149
is breathos, yeah, an infant. Yeah, and words matter. They
165
00:12:43.230 --> 00:12:46.139
didn't, and certainly to God and
the words that he chooses and or inspires
166
00:12:46.259 --> 00:12:50.100
the writers in the bike. Yeah, I mean they'll say there were likely
167
00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:52.620
words available, and it's kind of
like you know, nowadays we referred to
168
00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:58.019
a baby in the womb as a
fetus. Medically that an infant is after
169
00:12:58.100 --> 00:13:03.090
it's born, but generally we just
referred to it as a baby rights,
170
00:13:03.129 --> 00:13:05.570
the general term that we use.
If it's wanted, that's what we refer
171
00:13:05.690 --> 00:13:09.009
to it as. For sure.
Yeah, there are certainly words they could
172
00:13:09.009 --> 00:13:13.519
have used in Greek that would have
been different than Breathos, but they chose
173
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.279
that because it's the same as a
baby inside the whims the same as a
174
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.240
baby outside of the womb, except
for a few different things that are going
175
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.399
on there. Right in the development
of that job. But as far as
176
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.870
value, yeah, as far as
personhood, it's the same. Yeah,
177
00:13:26.870 --> 00:13:30.190
we believe that. Yeah. So
we've kind of built a case up to
178
00:13:30.230 --> 00:13:33.230
this point that, okay, the
the baby is a baby, is a
179
00:13:33.309 --> 00:13:37.549
human being from the moment of conception, is valued from the moment of conception
180
00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:41.179
and is worthy of our protection.
Yeah, from the moment of conception.
181
00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:46.460
And that all leads kind of to
the fourth premise where we begin to really
182
00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:50.299
discuss then. Well, so,
what about birth control? Yeah, should
183
00:13:50.299 --> 00:13:52.980
be our concerns with me. Yeah. Yeah. So premise some before is
184
00:13:54.019 --> 00:13:58.090
if we know birth control methods or
a board of Facian, we should not
185
00:13:58.289 --> 00:14:01.450
use them. Yeah, and acknowledging, like we did at the beginning of
186
00:14:01.529 --> 00:14:07.970
this podcast, that there's some ambiguity
there. There's some birth control methods that
187
00:14:07.450 --> 00:14:13.879
some doctors say could be and some
doctors are saying they aren't probably aren't right.
188
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.720
So we're going to talk around that
a little bit. Yeah, but
189
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.440
the Ambi you guys to do your
own research. The ambiguity is not that
190
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.190
we should go ahead and use it
if it's a board of fashioned. Yeah,
191
00:14:24.309 --> 00:14:28.750
there's no ambiguity biblically, if it
is an a board of fashion.
192
00:14:28.750 --> 00:14:33.669
If it kills a developing human being, then we've kind of laid the groundwork.
193
00:14:35.269 --> 00:14:39.259
We shouldn't use it. So it
behooves every Christian to understand that,
194
00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:45.259
right. Yeah, which which birth
control methods are acknowledged as a board of
195
00:14:45.259 --> 00:14:46.539
fashioned and which? I'm not charmed
saying that right, by the way,
196
00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:50.379
it might be facient, I'm not
sure. But which are and which are
197
00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:54.570
not? And and if, if
we love the Lord, we should try
198
00:14:54.610 --> 00:15:01.169
to abide by not using those that
we can pretty conclusively say are a Board
199
00:15:01.210 --> 00:15:05.250
of fashion. Yeah, and full
disclosure, I'll share a little bit of
200
00:15:05.330 --> 00:15:09.480
my story. Okay, is that
for a while, me and my wife,
201
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.159
we did use birth control. We
used hormonal birth control, for this
202
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.960
was after we were Christians, after
we were married. Yeah, and really
203
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.389
just because it's it's like it's what
you do, right. Everybody does.
204
00:15:22.470 --> 00:15:26.110
The help your exact doesn't no one
talks at all about it being possibly causing
205
00:15:26.149 --> 00:15:30.590
abortions. Yeah, you really have
to dig to find that information. Yeah,
206
00:15:30.789 --> 00:15:33.629
absolutely, and so we used it
and I'm just figured it's what everybody
207
00:15:33.750 --> 00:15:37.580
does. And you know, as
the Lord Begin to work on me a
208
00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:43.779
little more, because if you think
about it. The reasoning behind that is
209
00:15:43.860 --> 00:15:48.220
really unbiblical reasoning. I'm not gonna
not going to do this, probably for
210
00:15:48.259 --> 00:15:50.929
a whole other podcast. It could
be a whole other podcast I talk about,
211
00:15:52.009 --> 00:15:56.529
but what you came to. So
the Bible lays out a very clear
212
00:15:56.929 --> 00:16:03.210
case that children are blessing right,
that we should view children as a blessing.
213
00:16:03.250 --> 00:16:08.399
And this whole idea of you know, to and no more, right,
214
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.679
two kids and no more, this
comes from the world. This comes
215
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.960
from the world's view of children.
The children are just a bless our children
216
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.389
are just a birding burden, not
a blessing. That the getting the way
217
00:16:18.429 --> 00:16:22.470
if you, you know, having
your new house and your two new cars
218
00:16:22.509 --> 00:16:26.029
in the driveway and mom and dad
able to go out on you know,
219
00:16:26.230 --> 00:16:30.710
on the town or whatever. And
so the motivation for limiting our families a
220
00:16:30.750 --> 00:16:36.460
lot of times is a selfish one. If we examine it honestly, right,
221
00:16:36.539 --> 00:16:38.860
and it's not a biblical understanding the
blessing that children are. The Bible
222
00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:42.539
says in some one and twenty seven
children are a blessing from the Lord.
223
00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:48.090
In the Hebrew mindset it was a
blessing to have children. You would be
224
00:16:48.330 --> 00:16:52.370
cursed. You think about Rachel,
who cried out to Jacob and said give
225
00:16:52.409 --> 00:16:56.929
me children or I die. Yeah, like she wanted to have children,
226
00:16:56.049 --> 00:17:00.129
she wanted now, she said desperate. She went through her servant, her
227
00:17:00.210 --> 00:17:04.039
maid servants right to have children at
first year. Is that someone else?
228
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:08.599
And the patriarch spected. Yeah,
yeah, and so children are to be
229
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.119
received as a blessing. It would
be received as a curse. Now,
230
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.640
I don't mean to say that people
that can't have children are cursed. I'm
231
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.750
not. I don't exactly agree with
that, but biblically, if you didn't
232
00:17:19.750 --> 00:17:23.990
have children, they were something wrong. Right. Nowadays, if you have
233
00:17:25.230 --> 00:17:27.509
too many children, according to say
are quotes, too many children AC cording
234
00:17:27.509 --> 00:17:30.940
to the eyes of the world,
and somehow you're weird and you're strange,
235
00:17:32.380 --> 00:17:36.579
which is a complete contradiction and the
kind of turning things upside down according to
236
00:17:36.660 --> 00:17:40.299
what the Bible's motivation is. Yeah, children are a blessing. We've got
237
00:17:40.339 --> 00:17:44.450
eight kids. I remember back whenever
we had for people would look at US
238
00:17:44.450 --> 00:17:45.650
funny and think, don't you know
an they always say, don't you know
239
00:17:45.690 --> 00:17:48.410
what causes that? Right, so, yeah, causes that. I never
240
00:17:48.490 --> 00:17:53.970
heard that one before. So I
think this understanding, this biblical understanding,
241
00:17:55.049 --> 00:17:59.039
ultimately is what got ahold of me. And then I dug a little deeper
242
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:03.599
in the birth control stuff and just
discovered that some of the hormonal birth control
243
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:10.839
actually could potentially be a board of
facient. Right, it could be taken
244
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.670
babies who are conceived and and causing
them to be flushed out of my wife's
245
00:18:15.710 --> 00:18:18.509
body and, yeah, and to
be ultimately killed, right, yeah,
246
00:18:19.269 --> 00:18:23.309
and I remember repenting before the Lord
for that and it took some time before
247
00:18:23.349 --> 00:18:27.859
I realized what this birth control stuff
could potentially do. And so, as
248
00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:32.259
for me and my house, we
said we're not using that stuff. Yeah,
249
00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:37.740
because if even if it's possible,
if it's even possible, that a
250
00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:41.650
baby is being killed, then I
don't want to have any part in that.
251
00:18:41.730 --> 00:18:44.569
And so I think, guys,
is we're going through this. You
252
00:18:44.650 --> 00:18:47.210
know, I don't want to come
down heavy, I don't want to bring
253
00:18:47.809 --> 00:18:52.369
condemnation to people sharing what God did
in my heart, but also, listen,
254
00:18:52.450 --> 00:18:56.319
guys, we do need to be
very careful about what we're involving ourselves
255
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.440
in, the mentalities that we embrace
and the stuff that we use, because
256
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.559
I do believe that's what we need
to be thinking in our minds as it
257
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.079
concerns birth controls, like okay,
is we're talking through in these different ones,
258
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.670
who may or may not write destroy
a fertilized egg, a child that
259
00:19:11.869 --> 00:19:15.190
is conceived. If we believe that
life begins a conception and there's something that
260
00:19:15.910 --> 00:19:21.190
it may or it may not,
I think when in doubt, you stay
261
00:19:21.230 --> 00:19:23.859
away from that stuff. I would
agree are on the side of caution in
262
00:19:25.099 --> 00:19:27.940
that, because to end it,
even inadvertently, take a human life,
263
00:19:29.099 --> 00:19:32.740
would be wrong. Yes, wrong
for God. So we have a list
264
00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:36.500
which I a lot of people just
want to know that. They have asked
265
00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:38.529
us which ones are okay, which
ones are not. In like you said,
266
00:19:38.569 --> 00:19:42.930
and we do post the two articles
that this these lists are based on
267
00:19:42.970 --> 00:19:51.849
on our sidewalks for life and also
where we post the podcast. But in
268
00:19:52.369 --> 00:19:56.160
both articles they are very honest that
there is controversy. Yeah, they also
269
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:02.920
point out that they tried recently to
research this list and to find out was
270
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.430
there a more definitive proof of whether
they were a board of fashion or not,
271
00:20:07.750 --> 00:20:11.069
and said in a decade there's been
very little definitive research, which is,
272
00:20:11.150 --> 00:20:12.990
yeah, kind of strange. You
would think they would want to answer
273
00:20:14.029 --> 00:20:17.069
that question. But again, we're
in a pro death culture, yeah,
274
00:20:17.470 --> 00:20:22.619
a pro abortion culture, and it
is not a burning issue. Yeah,
275
00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:29.579
in our society. Yeah, kind
of been accepted as normative. And Hey,
276
00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:33.740
who's to say it kills a child
or not? WHO's the judge?
277
00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:36.730
And why should we dig any deeper
into it? Right, yeah, because
278
00:20:36.730 --> 00:20:40.849
we're, like you said, we're
in a prodeath culture. Yeah, and
279
00:20:41.369 --> 00:20:45.130
culture that views children is only burdens
rather than blessing. Right. Yes,
280
00:20:45.329 --> 00:20:51.200
is a contradiction according to the word
of God. So oral contraceptives. These
281
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:56.079
are the aboard of Fashions. So
oral contraceptives, which are probably the most
282
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.519
commonly used birth control everywhere. So
that that would be birth control pills,
283
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:08.750
and there are some that are considered
clearly aboard of fashioned and some that there's
284
00:21:08.789 --> 00:21:15.390
some question about. Yeah. So, in either case, the birth control
285
00:21:15.509 --> 00:21:19.579
pills are iffy for a Christian use
if you're truly going to be trying to
286
00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:26.660
follow God's very clear and strict standard
of the value of life. IUDs,
287
00:21:26.059 --> 00:21:30.660
both copper and hormonal. I don't
know what a hormonal IUD is. I'm
288
00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:36.769
not sure I understand that, but
the article said that both of those are
289
00:21:36.809 --> 00:21:41.410
aboard of fashioned and that one there's
a lot of evidence. There's also evidence
290
00:21:41.730 --> 00:21:47.640
in all of these things which so
makes sense with God's commands, are always
291
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:53.359
protective, and in both birth control
pills and in the IUD there are risks
292
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:57.960
and they're not insignificant. True to
the mom stroke, blood clots with the
293
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.549
IUD, actually with both of them, increased risk of ectopic pregnancy. So
294
00:22:03.670 --> 00:22:11.309
there's dangers with these. We these
birth control methods. Be The hormonal.
295
00:22:11.430 --> 00:22:15.630
All of really the hormonal birth control. So that would include the hormonal patches,
296
00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:21.180
hormonal shot, hormonal implants, hormonal
vaginal rings. And I get this
297
00:22:21.380 --> 00:22:25.859
question a lot. Plan Be.
Yeah, plan be. Someone just asked
298
00:22:25.859 --> 00:22:30.369
me as plan be the abortion pill. No, it's not, but it
299
00:22:30.569 --> 00:22:33.210
is what used after rape or after
unprotected sex. I think it has to
300
00:22:33.289 --> 00:22:37.450
be used within twenty four hours.
Yeah, I'm not really sure about that,
301
00:22:37.890 --> 00:22:44.089
but it's the emergency contraceptive. Yeah, and there, there again.
302
00:22:44.170 --> 00:22:49.319
There's some controversy over that, but
some experts and some of the research does
303
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:53.920
indicate that it could cause an abortion. Yeah, yeah, and I want
304
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:57.670
to kind of maybe give a little
qualifier here. Okay, because there is
305
00:22:59.750 --> 00:23:03.509
some ambiguity right, is some.
There's some research that says yeah, it's
306
00:23:03.549 --> 00:23:08.430
some that says nay. So just
like you could say, could plan be
307
00:23:08.589 --> 00:23:14.779
potentially kill a fertilized egg, kill
a conceived child? Yes, it could,
308
00:23:15.819 --> 00:23:18.339
but that doesn't mean it always does. Right. In fact, the
309
00:23:18.380 --> 00:23:21.779
vast majority of time they feel it
doesn't. Right. Yeah, in the
310
00:23:21.819 --> 00:23:23.539
same way because from what I understand, you correct me if I'm wrong,
311
00:23:23.579 --> 00:23:27.329
but it's basically just a bunch of
birth control, right. The plan B
312
00:23:27.529 --> 00:23:32.289
is just a concentrated amount of birth
control. Yeah, in a big dose.
313
00:23:32.490 --> 00:23:34.849
Yeah, but one time by loose
or one or two type those.
314
00:23:36.569 --> 00:23:38.490
And so in the same way with
a with birth control pills. Yeah,
315
00:23:38.690 --> 00:23:45.960
it could. It's possible that it
could abort weren't a conceived child, but
316
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:52.079
it's not absolutely, absolutely always going
to, or can you absolutely prove that
317
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.349
it has? So you know from
my situation that I shared, my wife
318
00:23:56.390 --> 00:24:00.150
took birth control for a couple of
years. Yeah, I have no idea
319
00:24:00.349 --> 00:24:03.029
whether or not there were conceived children, right, that were ultimately aborted.
320
00:24:03.230 --> 00:24:06.710
I don't know, right. Right. So I'm not going to bear a
321
00:24:06.750 --> 00:24:10.539
bunch of guilt for myself because I
didn't know what I didn't know, but
322
00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:12.660
now that I do know. Yes, sustain away from that. Yeah,
323
00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:17.140
I don't even want to touch it. Yeah, and I think that's a
324
00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:21.059
really important point. is in all
these things, we're not the MOM and
325
00:24:21.099 --> 00:24:25.210
dad of all of our listeners and
we can we can't force them to or
326
00:24:25.369 --> 00:24:27.369
nor do we want to force them
to make a choice. That choice has
327
00:24:27.410 --> 00:24:32.490
to be between you and God.
But we're just giving the evidence as as
328
00:24:32.609 --> 00:24:36.730
we know it and we strongly recommend
that people research for themselves and really get
329
00:24:36.769 --> 00:24:41.640
before the Lord and absolutely he would
convict them. There are non aboard of
330
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.839
fashioned methods of birth control. Those
would definitely be the preferred method, so
331
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.720
that that would include male and female
condoms, vaginal sponge, sperm acide,
332
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.269
those are all non aboard of fashion, and so they're there that they're called
333
00:24:56.309 --> 00:25:00.950
the barrier methods, like, you
know, cervical cap, diaphragm sterilization.
334
00:25:00.990 --> 00:25:06.430
I mean if a lot of people
have a lot of strong feelings about whether
335
00:25:06.470 --> 00:25:12.740
that is biblical or not, sure, but but there's that is that does
336
00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:18.380
prevent at a fertilized egg from ever
or at the egg from ever getting fertil
337
00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:22.329
yes, I mean that would be
there's a whole other conversation around that,
338
00:25:22.690 --> 00:25:26.490
course, right. But yeah,
I mean there's there's no fertilization taking place
339
00:25:26.529 --> 00:25:32.089
because you've been sterilized, right,
and then you know natural family planning,
340
00:25:32.250 --> 00:25:37.640
so fertility awareness methods. The Catholic
certainly teach that method of of family planning.
341
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:45.559
Yeah, so those are all those
would all be acceptable as a birth
342
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:49.670
control if you are sold that birth
control is is acceptable. Yeah, and
343
00:25:49.789 --> 00:25:53.430
of itself. Yeah, and so
that's kind of that was premised number four.
344
00:25:53.990 --> 00:25:59.910
Premised number five. Birth control does
not prevent abortion and has risks.
345
00:26:00.069 --> 00:26:03.470
There's this mentality that you, as
a society, birth control is good.
346
00:26:03.029 --> 00:26:07.660
I've actually even had some folks who
have come across my radar who want to
347
00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:11.059
get involved, who want to get
trained to do sidewalk counseling and things like
348
00:26:11.099 --> 00:26:15.819
that. And on some of the
forms we ask questions like what's your view
349
00:26:15.859 --> 00:26:18.019
of birth control? We just want
to see where people are at, right.
350
00:26:18.059 --> 00:26:19.769
Yeah, and a lot of people
are saying I've seen it. Quite
351
00:26:19.809 --> 00:26:23.369
a few people respond with well,
birth control is good because it lowers abortion.
352
00:26:23.410 --> 00:26:26.650
Yeah, and so that's a good
thing, right, because people who
353
00:26:26.769 --> 00:26:30.609
like centers are going to sin,
and we understand that people are going to
354
00:26:30.650 --> 00:26:33.440
have sex outside of marriage right and
if they're going to, it's better that
355
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.480
they use birth control rather than they
go and aboard their children that are conceived
356
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.640
in in their sin. But for
what you've have here, you're saying that
357
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:48.069
it doesn't prevent abortion rights. There
is, and that's surprised me, but
358
00:26:48.190 --> 00:26:52.910
the the website students for Life Dot
Org. And then contraception, and I
359
00:26:53.029 --> 00:26:57.430
thought we link that in the article. It's sites research that shows that nine
360
00:26:57.589 --> 00:27:03.900
percent of women who use birth control
get pregnant anyway, and a whopping fifty
361
00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:08.700
one percent of abortion past patients were
using birth control when they got pregnant.
362
00:27:10.299 --> 00:27:15.890
So it shows this is not an
effective tool to prevent abortion, which was
363
00:27:15.410 --> 00:27:19.170
is always what you hear from the
socalled pro choice crowd. You know why
364
00:27:19.170 --> 00:27:22.690
are you against birth control? You
hate abortion. This prevents abortion. Well,
365
00:27:22.730 --> 00:27:26.170
the research shows, first of all, fifty one percent of the women
366
00:27:26.410 --> 00:27:30.359
who are coming for an abortion we're
using birth control in the month that they
367
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.279
came for the abortion. But the
second thing is, not only does it
368
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:38.400
not prevent abortion, but birth control
may in fact be an abortion at times.
369
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:42.880
Yeah, so it and, like
I had already mentioned, it also
370
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:47.190
has it comes with its own risks. Yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
371
00:27:47.589 --> 00:27:49.069
We won't get into all of those. I think if nothing else,
372
00:27:49.150 --> 00:27:53.029
guys, this podcast should spur you
guys to do your own research. We're
373
00:27:53.029 --> 00:27:56.069
going to give you. I've already
shared with you kind of the conclusion that
374
00:27:56.349 --> 00:28:00.619
our family has come to, and
so we've given you that, but you
375
00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:03.259
need to get before the Lord.
You need to do the research yourself.
376
00:28:03.299 --> 00:28:06.420
It's helpful to be informed of these
things when you're out on the sidewalk and
377
00:28:06.460 --> 00:28:08.859
you're ministering to people that are coming
to have birth control. It's good to
378
00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:11.700
have some of these facts. It's
good to know some of the stuff and
379
00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:17.450
ultimately, it's good that we know
before the Lord that we're doing the right
380
00:28:17.569 --> 00:28:21.529
thing. Right we want to honor
God. That's far and above everything that
381
00:28:21.650 --> 00:28:23.529
we want to honor the Lord.
So if we're doing things, if we're
382
00:28:23.529 --> 00:28:29.640
embracing mentalities that dishonor the Lord and
they're just not biblical mentalities as far as
383
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:32.640
like our view of children and that
sort of thing, we need to repent.
384
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:34.359
Yeah, and we need to ask
the Lord to change our hearts in
385
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:38.400
those areas. Yeah, and which
kind of leads to that. I think
386
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:42.990
it's our last premise. Pres yes, our six premise. Yeah, birth
387
00:28:44.069 --> 00:28:48.910
control masks the true issue of rebellion
from God. Yeah, so much of
388
00:28:49.269 --> 00:28:55.670
the freedom to have sex outside of
marriage is because of birth control. Yeah,
389
00:28:55.710 --> 00:29:00.420
it. It does make it easier
to rebel against God in the issue
390
00:29:00.460 --> 00:29:03.940
of sexual purity. Yeah, I
mean, you think about it, we're
391
00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:07.380
a peel popping society. We got
appeal for everything, right, everything that
392
00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:11.329
we do, we've got some kind
of peal that can make it all better.
393
00:29:12.089 --> 00:29:17.089
And obviously that's not the it's not
the will of God. All right,
394
00:29:18.410 --> 00:29:22.849
again, children are blessing. Yeah, and when there's no I don't
395
00:29:22.849 --> 00:29:25.599
know how to say this, but
there's no consequences, we can pop up
396
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:27.960
pill to get rid of the consequences
of anything that we do or to chield
397
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:33.480
us from consequences. And sex outside
of marriage. The consequence sometimes can be
398
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.880
that you get pregnant, right,
and there's a child that you have to
399
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:40.910
be responsible for. Yeah, take
away that a consequence. And it's like
400
00:29:41.230 --> 00:29:45.069
this whole free love movement and the
Birth Control Movement really have coincided with one
401
00:29:45.109 --> 00:29:52.380
another, and the birth control movement
gave fuel to the fire for the glute
402
00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:56.819
freelove movement. And all the other
junk that came with that. And then,
403
00:29:56.859 --> 00:30:00.539
ultimately, for abortion. Yeah,
because when birth control fails, abortion
404
00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:04.339
becomes the final birth control. Yeah, it prevents the the birth of that
405
00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:08.730
child. But so, yeah,
with with birth control came the sexual revolution.
406
00:30:10.170 --> 00:30:14.329
And but you know, and it
brought so many, in the the
407
00:30:15.410 --> 00:30:18.970
eyes of the world, so many
benefits for women. And yet look at
408
00:30:19.009 --> 00:30:25.960
what it also brought. Increased number
of teens being sexually active, and most
409
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.960
people would agree that's really not a
good thing on so many levels. Yeah,
410
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:34.990
increased pregnancy out of wedlock, the
onslaught of stds, those were basically
411
00:30:36.109 --> 00:30:40.789
nonexistent before this sect. Well,
that's not quite true. There was syphilis
412
00:30:40.950 --> 00:30:45.630
before the big sexual revolution, but
but now there's a whole host of new
413
00:30:45.349 --> 00:30:52.660
sexually transmitted diseases. And and so
it went from we went from the thought
414
00:30:52.859 --> 00:31:02.819
of Birth Control Liberating women to abortion
being a valid choice and to really what
415
00:31:03.059 --> 00:31:08.769
God says about sexual purity outside of
marriage is old. Yeah, and we
416
00:31:08.890 --> 00:31:14.890
don't need to abide by those in
a modern society with all these ways of
417
00:31:15.089 --> 00:31:18.880
taking care of the bad the problems. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
418
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:23.720
So, and another thing that I
thought this was really interesting I got a
419
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:29.240
few statistics that really again shocked me
as I read this. In one thousand
420
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:34.630
nineteen hundred six percent of unmarried women
were sexually active. In nineteen ninety nine
421
00:31:36.349 --> 00:31:41.789
that increased to seventy five percent.
Well, and this is, you know,
422
00:31:41.069 --> 00:31:47.259
outside of marriage. Seventy that's staggering. Yeah, that's really disturbing.
423
00:31:47.779 --> 00:31:52.980
And even more disturbing is, rather
than reducing the extra marital pregnancy rate,
424
00:31:53.059 --> 00:31:59.900
which is what this birth control was
supposed to do, it actually has increased.
425
00:32:00.980 --> 00:32:06.210
So in the the statistic that they
cite is that the share of all
426
00:32:06.289 --> 00:32:13.210
pregnancy outside of marriage has increased from
two percent in the S to thirty three
427
00:32:13.329 --> 00:32:20.319
percent in the nineteen ninety nine.
So birth control has not decreased extra marital
428
00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:23.640
pregnancy, it is increased it.
Yeah, it makes sense. Everybody is
429
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:30.710
now seventy five percent of unmarried people
are engaged in sexual activity outside of marriage.
430
00:32:30.710 --> 00:32:35.750
Yeah, yeah, so all these
numbers just help us to understand kind
431
00:32:35.789 --> 00:32:39.309
of the floodgate being opened up right
with this whole sexual revolution. Again,
432
00:32:39.349 --> 00:32:45.019
the these the sexual revolution and the
birth control movement coincide with one another.
433
00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:49.500
We're not going to get in depth
as far as the Margaret Singer in the
434
00:32:49.539 --> 00:32:52.339
birth control league and all that stuff. Yeah, just really wanted to equip
435
00:32:52.420 --> 00:32:57.619
you guys and spur you guys to
think more biblically about this, think more
436
00:32:57.700 --> 00:33:02.890
biblically about children and the value of
children, but also birth control, just
437
00:33:04.009 --> 00:33:07.930
in general, the mindsets, but
just practically the effect that it could potentially
438
00:33:07.970 --> 00:33:10.849
have on ending the life of a
baby. So again, that we have
439
00:33:10.970 --> 00:33:15.440
a biblical perspective on this, that
we ourselves to our lives right, we
440
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.599
have to. The Bible says,
remove the log from your eye so that
441
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:23.640
you can help your brother remove the
speck from his eye. So if we're
442
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:28.430
going along and we're talking about how
evil it is for people to view children
443
00:33:28.470 --> 00:33:32.349
as property, and yet we ourselves
are embracing this birth control mindset where children
444
00:33:32.349 --> 00:33:36.150
are really, in our minds,
just a burden and we're willing to take
445
00:33:36.230 --> 00:33:38.349
pills that are potentially going to end
the life of a baby in the womb
446
00:33:38.390 --> 00:33:42.339
ourselves. Who really got to get
the log out of our own eye first?
447
00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:45.980
We got to examine our hearts before
God first, and then we can
448
00:33:45.059 --> 00:33:50.299
help others right, see clearly,
to get the speck out of their eye.
449
00:33:50.619 --> 00:33:53.420
Yeah, Amen. And so just
encouraging you guys again to think about
450
00:33:53.420 --> 00:33:58.410
this biblically. Maybe you've got some
pushback on this, maybe you've got a
451
00:33:58.450 --> 00:34:00.970
different perspective than we do. We
certainly would love to hear your perspective.
452
00:34:01.369 --> 00:34:05.690
You can reach out to me Daniel
at Love Life Dot Org. He reached
453
00:34:06.009 --> 00:34:08.210
her at Vicky at Love Life Dot
Org. This is again not intended to
454
00:34:08.809 --> 00:34:13.599
bring guilt and condemnation all that,
but just just spur you guys to love
455
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:15.599
and good works. Right. It's
just spur you guys to think biblically.
456
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:20.320
So if you've got questions about this, if you've got things to add,
457
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.989
maybe, I don't know, maybe
there's an expert about birth control out there
458
00:34:24.110 --> 00:34:29.110
that could give us some better perspective
or something like that. We would certainly
459
00:34:29.150 --> 00:34:31.670
love to bring them on, whatever
that looks like. Bring them on zoom
460
00:34:31.710 --> 00:34:36.429
or come here the office and recording. If you know somebody like that,
461
00:34:36.550 --> 00:34:38.059
reach out to us. Let us
know. But we hope this has been
462
00:34:38.099 --> 00:34:40.659
an encouragement. Do you guys?
Hope this has been a challenge to you
463
00:34:40.780 --> 00:34:47.219
guys? And with that we will
wrap this thing up. So God bless
464
00:34:47.260 --> 00:34:54.730
you guys and we'll talk to you
later. Give me our love for love.
465
00:34:59.329 --> 00:35:07.920
Give me our love for gratitude.
I know it will cost me my
466
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:15.639
life. Nothing's too precious, and
some that you
