TRANSCRIPT
========================================
So actually you can look at fighting this flesh. It's like, "Oh, I have to fight the flesh. Oh, it's so terrible." Or I get to, it's a blessing. It's an honor, it's a privilege, it's a great thing. God called us in this message to live the best life. It is not a culture. It's a life. What is the message? It's a life. Have people identified with the name of message and created little mini do mini denominations within the the constructs of it? Yeah, just like every other system that has ever existed. Oh, but some people do. Yeah, just like everything else. But the true message, which is God bringing his bride back to himself, that's the message. Let me tell you this. If you or I want to say, "I know the message. I already know everything." And we've never even listened to more than 10 Brother Brandham sermons and we've never read our Bible. We don't know what we're talking about. But the reason why we can feel as if we do is because we're experts. not of the message or of the Bible, but were experts of the culture. What's up, Jericho? How's it going? The culture. What's up, Sister Megan? How's it going? God bless you. Congratulations on the marriage and the baby. So, the best definition of culture is the shared behaviors, beliefs, values, and material objects that characterize. Okay, [clears throat] thank you. Um, I need a simple I need a simple definition. [laughter] There you go. Uh, it's the set of patterns of human activity within a society or social group. Culture is how we act, think, and behave based on the shared values of our society. Let me give you some examples of culture versus the word uh compared to actually the word of God. This thought that in order to even speak to a girl, you must first contact her father. That's nowhere in the scripture. That's pure culture. This idea that you must have a chaperon otherwise you are wrong. Do I think it's a good idea? Sure. But is it scriptural? No. Did Brother Brandham ever talk about it? No. It's culture. It's a set of ideas agreed upon by a group of people saying, "Hey, we're going to accept this." And it's actually as unspoken rules. That's why you can go to a camp or you can go to a meeting or you can go to a room with people that believe even the same as you do, but you you feel like you're doing wrong and you don't know why. It's because there's a set of unspoken rules that you didn't even know about beforehand that you're violating.
