-
Man, the title of my sermon this morning is Third Wave Feminism, Third Wave Feminism.
-
Now, for those of you that are Sunday morning only, I have already preached the sermon on
-
the first wave of feminism and the second wave of feminism.
-
And so this one's on the third wave, which is the 1990s to the early 2000s.
-
Now as I preach in those other sermons, and you can watch them online if you
-
missed them, but the first two waves of feminism have unfortunately been about
-
80 to 90 percent embraced by independent fundamental Baptists and evangelical Christians,
-
whereas the third wave is where pretty much all Christians get off the train at that point.
-
But the lesson here is that, you know, when you end up rejecting the clear
-
teachings of the Bible about the first and the second wave, well the third wave
-
is where you end up, because sin always takes you further than you want to go.
-
It costs you more than you're willing to pay and it keeps you longer than you want to stay, right?
-
And so when you become untethered from what the Bible teaches about these basic issues of our lives,
-
about men's and women's roles, about marriage, and so forth,
-
once you become untethered from what the Bible says, well then, you know, who knows where you'll go?
-
Who knows where you'll end up? And this is where you end up, apparently,
-
in what's called third wave of feminism. So let me just break down to you the tenets of feminism
-
in the 90s and early 2000s. Unfortunately, this has affected our lives, infected our mentality
-
in so many ways. We got to get back to the Bible and renew our minds, you know, and gird up
-
the loins of our mind and believe what the Bible says. So point number one is what's called
-
intersectionality, okay? Now, probably a lot of you have never even heard this word,
-
but if you were on a college campus, this is constantly a buzzword that's being dropped all the
-
time, you know, and in liberal circles, you're going to hear this word all the time, intersectionality.
-
Let me just read for you the dictionary definition of this word.
-
Intersectionality is an analytical framework that describes how multiple social identities,
-
such as race, gender, class, sexual orientation, disability, and religion
-
overlap and intersect to create unique experiences of discrimination and disadvantage.
-
So again, it's just this idea of like, hey, we're just such victims for so many reasons.
-
It's not just that we're women, it's that we're Jewish, black, lesbian, handicapped women
-
or whatever, you know, it kind of reminds me of the, you know, weird Al Jankovic,
-
you know, lesbian Nazi hookers abducted by aliens and forced on weight loss programs,
-
you know? So I haven't memorized because I saw it in the fourth grade. I thought it was funny.
-
So what can I say? But anyway, you know, go if you went to the book of Leviticus,
-
Leviticus chapter number 20, okay? Because the idea here is that they're trying to get
-
feminism to also be fighting all these other battles. And most notably, they want the
-
feminists to go to bat for the sodomites, okay? And here's the thing about this,
-
you'd wonder on face value, what does feminism have to do with being a homo?
-
But it's intersectionality, you know, that brings all these things together.
-
And so, you know, you go to, for example, Black Lives Matter and you go to their homepage and it's
-
all about being a homo. And you look at their staff and it's all sodomites, it's all perverts,
-
and you're like, what does this have to do with being black? You know, here's the thing,
-
God created all human beings in his image and red and yellow, black and white,
-
their precious in his sight, right? Whereas being a homo is an abomination and a sin against God,
-
it's a perversion. And so to compare that to race or skin color is obviously absurd.
-
But look what the Bible says, the Bible's not coy about this subject. I mean, the Bible just
-
comes right out and tells you what's going on with this subject. Leviticus chapter 20, verse
-
13 says, if a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have
-
committed an abomination, they shall surely be put to death, their blood shall be upon them.
-
Now look, this is giving the most severe penalty that the Bible gives for any crime in the Old
-
Testament, you know, is the death penalty. That's the worst punishment that you get.
-
So this is a massive sin, super wicked in the eyes of God, and under Moses is punishable
-
by the death penalty. Like, how dare you quote Leviticus? Jesus quote Leviticus.
-
Jesus said, don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I came not to destroy,
-
but to fulfill. Barely I say to you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall
-
know why it's passed from the law, till all be fulfilled. And so Jesus Christ affirmed
-
the teachings of the Old Testament. And by the way, Jesus Christ is the same
-
yesterday and today and forever. Jesus doesn't change. God said, I'm the Lord, I change not.
-
Therefore, your sons of Jacob are not consumed. So there is no Old Testament God versus New Testament
-
God. It's just God. And God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And so that's what he says.
-
Now, there was a certain bozo, and if you would go back to Leviticus chapter 18,
Leviticus 18 chapter mention
-
there was a certain bozo who claimed, well, the Bible never says that homosexuality is a sin.
-
It just says that you should throw rocks at them until they die.
-
But it doesn't say it's a sin, though. Actually, it does say it's a sin because if you just go back
-
two pages to Leviticus 1822, it says, thou shalt not lie with mankind. As with womankind,
-
it is abomination. Well, here's the thing about that is that the Bible defines sin as the
-
transgression of the law. So if you transgress the law, it's a sin. And last time I checked,
-
one of the best ways to phrase something as being against the law is thou shalt not.
-
Like, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not
-
bear false witness, thou shalt not covet. And here we have thou shalt not lie with mankind.
-
As with womankind, it's abomination. Now, if you would go back to Romans chapter one,
-
where we were in the New Testament, Romans chapter one, because this idea of intersectionality
-
is going to basically say, oh, you're black and you care about black people? Well,
-
let's get you fighting for homos now. Oh, you're a woman and you care about women's rights? Well,
-
you need to be pro-homo. It's bizarre to try to combine all these things and mix all these things,
-
but that's exactly what happened in the 90s and 2000s to where you'll preach against
-
sodomites and you'll be called a racist. And you're like, what? Like, what does this have
-
to do with race? But I'm telling you, that's what happened. Look, if you would, at Romans chapter
-
one, verse 25, the Bible says, who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served
-
the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. And in the ancient world,
-
this took place in the form of people bowing down to idols that were literally based upon
-
animals and human beings, right? And they're bound down to statues of animals or humans or
-
hybrids of humans and animals. And they're worshiping the creature more than the Creator.
-
Nowadays, there's a movement of just kind of pantheistic kind of environmental worship of
-
Gaia, Mother Earth. That's also a worship of the creature more than the Creator, okay? We
-
shouldn't worship nature. We should enjoy nature and admire nature. But at the end of the day,
-
we need to be worshiping nature's God, okay? The God who is the Creator. And it says, for this cause,
-
you know, because they rejected the Lord, and there was a lot of verses about that leading
-
up to this, rejecting God, for this cause, God gave them up unto vile affections, right?
-
Vile means just gross, horrible, disgusting. God gave them over to vile affections for
-
even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise,
-
also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another,
-
men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their
-
error which was meat. And even as they did not like to retain God and their knowledge,
-
God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient, right?
-
And that means, you know, things that are not convenient means they're unseemly, abnormal,
-
they don't come naturally, okay? And the idea here that I want to point out though,
-
is that notice he actually starts out with the women saying, the women changed the natural
-
use of that which is against nature, and likewise also the men. And unfortunately,
-
this movement in society is often spearheaded by women. You know, the sad reality is
-
that there are a lot more women who sympathize with sodomites than men.
-
And in fact, when hard preaching comes across the pulpit on this, usually real hair-legged men
-
are like, ah, amen! You know, whereas it's usually women who are like, whoa, that was a little bit
-
much. It's a little over the top and they're sympathizing with their poor little faggots or
-
whatever. And so what we have to understand is that unfortunately, women will sometimes be
-
deceived on this issue. Now obviously, good godly Christian women who are reading their
-
Bibles believe on it the same as we all do, you know. But it's easy for women because
-
they are obviously more compassionate and sympathetic by nature to get sucked into
-
the propaganda and to somehow think this is okay. And so basically, this is where feminism
-
begins to promote the sodomite agenda starting in the 90s. And this is the third wave of feminism.
-
But that's not all the third wave involved. Number two, the third wave also involved
-
suddenly defending prostitution and pornography as empowerment. It's empowering. See,
-
in the second wave of feminism, those were seen as harmful and exploiting of women.
-
But then in the third wave, it's like, no, no, no, wait a minute. You know,
-
if you want to be a prostitute, that's part of your liberation and freedom as a woman, you know.
-
And so this is obviously totally wrong and unbiblical. But this is where you end up when
-
you just start throwing away God's rules. And then the second wave, people are like,
-
whoa, whoa, what are we doing here? It's like, well, you did this to yourself.
-
You rejected what the Bible said about men and women. And so now might as well just go all
-
the way. And now all of a sudden, prostitution is glorified. If you would look at verse 24
-
of Romans 1, it says, wherefore God also gave them up to what? Uncleanness through the lusts
-
of their own hearts to what? Dishonor their bodies, their own bodies between themselves.
-
This is dishonorable. There's nothing honorable or glorifying or empowering or
-
noteworthy or noble about fornication. Okay, fornication is shameful and dishonorable,
-
according to the Bible. Okay. And here's the thing. Today, we have a channel or a news thing.
-
I don't know what it's called AZ family. Who knows what I'm talking about? Like,
-
it's something that'll pop up in your feet or whatever. And you'll have AZ family running
-
stories. Hey, this school teacher quit her job and is now making $300,000 a year on only
-
fans or whatever. And I'm thinking myself, why are you a family news source going to promote
-
prostitution and glorify prostitution? And how dare we question her choice to make money that
-
way? Folks, that is dishonorable and wicked. You know, being a school teacher may be a
-
low paying job, but at least it's an honest day's work. At least you're doing an actual service
-
to society. And it's probably one of the hardest jobs that there is teaching school. It's a strenuous,
-
you know, I can't imagine just like preaching every day and that, you know, and just preaching for
-
five, six hours at a time and stuff. I mean, they're up there in front of those classrooms,
-
teaching and at least I'm preaching to people who want to be here. I'm sure some of you
-
were dragged in here by someone, but I'm saying most people want to be here. And so, you know,
-
kids are being forced to go to school and that's a hard job. And I can see why it'd be difficult
-
and you're not making a lot of money, but most people are doing it because it's a labor of love.
-
But at the end of the day, it's an honorable profession. It's an honorable career,
-
you're at least providing a service to society. But so now let's compare that to being a
-
prostitute society. AZ family news is telling you, hey, you can just quit your teaching
-
job and become a prostitute online and you can just make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
-
And here's the thing, I'm sure that there are whores online making millions or hundreds of
-
thousands, but you know, there's probably a lot of just cheap whores online that are just
-
not even making much money at all and just degrading themselves, degrading their whole
-
family and just completely humiliating everyone in their life for a few bucks.
-
Why would we glorify that? It should be shamed. What does the Bible say? We'll go back to Genesis.
-
Let's just kind of start at the beginning of the Bible and see what the Bible says about this
-
subject because we need to live in a society that shames wickedness. And even anthropologists
-
and academics will look at these things and they'll call it a, quote, shame-based society
-
or an honor-based society. And this is part of what keeps our society on the rails.
-
Because when you just remove all shame, when you remove all concepts of honor from society,
-
society just becomes bizarre and wicked and horrible and it will ultimately implode,
-
it will crash and burn and then some other society will take over that can actually bring
-
order to the chaos. And so obviously we want our American way of life to persist. We love America
-
and we want it to thrive and succeed as it has in the past. We don't want it to become this weird
-
cesspool of iniquity so that we can be overpowered by some foreign invader. And so part of that is
-
we've got to stay with the morality of the Bible. We've got to stay with God's Word. These
-
things don't change. I don't care how many thousands of years go by, it's written in stone,
-
my friends, and it's the same yesterday, today and forever. And so the third wave sought to
-
legitimize and defend prostitution and pornography as just, oh, these could empower women.
-
This isn't men exploiting women. This is women expressing themselves and women
-
doing what they want to do for a living. What? This is horrible. And by the way,
-
and I'm sorry to preach these negative graphic sermons sometimes, but at the end of the day,
-
like I'm kind of sorry, not sorry, because our society is really messed up right now and you
-
need to hear this stuff and you're not really going to hear it anywhere else. So you kind
-
of need to hear it in church, okay? But you know, read the book of Revelation chapter 17.
Revelation 17 chapter mention
-
And in the book of Revelation chapter 17, you have this illustration
Revelation 17 chapter mention
-
where it's calling Babylon the great whore, you know, and that's the illustration that's used.
-
That's the metaphor that's used. And if you look at the fate of the great whore, eventually
-
those who have used her will turn around and then abuse her and just tear her apart and
-
just burn her and destroy her and whatever. Let me tell you something. I just want to mention
-
this to you little girls and you young ladies out there that maybe you've seen this bizarre,
-
stupid propaganda in the news, or maybe you've seen these evil Hollywood movies like Pretty Woman
-
or something that's going to try to glorify this stuff to you, okay? But let me tell you
-
something. When you're in that line of work, you're dealing with some of the sleaziest
-
guys around. You're not dealing with, you know, Richard Gere over here or whatever,
-
you know what I mean? What you think it's going to be. What you're dealing with is guys who are
-
skeevy weird guys. Now look, there's a certain percentage of dudes that are going to be like
-
evil, sick, weird, violent people, murderers, just whatever, just psychos in whatever the way.
-
Now, if we take the guys that are going to prostitutes, you know, we're probably
-
narrowing in on that demographic a little bit of weirdos. Everybody understand what I'm saying?
-
And if you're just going to be with 10, 20, and even if you're not a literal prostitute,
-
if you're just going to be with 10, 20, 30 dudes, well, you know what? You're rolling the dice
-
every time. Eventually, you're going to roll the double fives. And you know what's going
-
to happen is you're going to have one of these guys beat the living whatever out of you,
-
hurt you, injure you, torture you. Who knows what's going to happen? Folks, you need to flee
-
fornication, run screaming in the other direction from this gross evil underworld of prostitution
-
and pornography. But look what the Bible says in Genesis chapter 34 verse 31. This is Simeon
-
and Levi, the sons of Jacob, and they're indignant about the way that their sister
-
has fornicated and they end up going out and just killing the guy who fornicates with her
-
and just killing the whole town. Now, they definitely went overboard and killed way too many people
-
and God did not approve of it. But this is their logic. This is their rationale is like,
-
well, should he deal with our sister as with the harlot? You know, saying, look, this is
-
super shameful and humiliating and dishonoring to our family that our sister is being treated as a
-
harlot. That's what the Bible teaches about this is that it's shameful. It's dishonoring. We saw
-
it in Romans one. Look at chapter 38 verse 15. In chapter 38 verse 15, we have the story where
-
Judah gets tricked by Tamar into thinking that she's a prostitute. And it says in Genesis 38
-
15, when Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot because she had covered her face. A couple
-
things here. It shows you that the Muslims are way out to lunch telling women that they need to just
-
cover their faces period. Because in the Bible times, if you're covering your face is a sign
-
that you're a prostitute. That's what it says. Okay. But number two, the reason that she's
-
covering her face is because it's embarrassing and shameful to be engaging in that activity.
-
And that's the way we should look at it as well. Shameful. Look at Leviticus chapter 19 verse 29.
-
While you're turning there, I'm going to begin to read. Leviticus 19, 29, do not prostitute thy daughter
-
to cause her to be a whore, lest the land fall to whoredom and the land become full of wickedness.
-
Look, this has been called the oldest profession. This is one of those things that's ubiquitous
-
in our world. It's never going to go away. It's never going to be 100% gone. It's always going to
-
exist. It always has existed. But here's the thing about it though. You don't want the land
-
to just fall to whoredom though. It's one thing if it's some skeevy part of town where this is
-
going on on a small scale. It's another thing where it's out in the open and AZ family news
-
is just like, Hey guys, check out how much money you can make. Hey, let's make a Hollywood movie
-
about this. Hey, let's promote this. There's a big difference between sin going on behind closed doors
-
and being just publicly glorified and embraced because then what happens is the land just
-
falls to whoredom. It just goes all the way into that and it is a downfall ultimately. It
-
don't want the land to just fall to whoredom and the land become full of wickedness. But see,
-
the liberal mentality on this is like, well, it's always going to be around. So we might as well
-
just condone it and just, you know, we can just kind of regulate it and de-stigmatize it and then
-
people can kind of do it safely or whatever. But see that this is a misguided philosophy
-
because when you start acting like it's normal legitimate, okay, honorable way to make money
-
at the end of the day, you end up promoting it and then the land just falls to whoredom and then
-
it just takes over and destroys society. Look at chapter 21 verse one, same book Leviticus 21 1
-
and the Lord said, and Moses speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron and say unto them,
-
there shall none be defiled for the dead among his people. I'm just reading this
-
to give you the context that we're talking to the priests, the sons of Aaron, jump down
-
to verse seven, they shall not take a wife that is a whore or profane. Neither shall they take a woman
-
put away from her husband, that's divorced, for he is holy unto his God. Look at verse number nine,
-
the daughter of any priest. If she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth
-
her father. She shall be burnt with fire. And look, I don't care if you like this or not,
-
this is what the Bible says. If you don't like it, you don't like the Bible. If you don't like that
-
Bible verse we just read, you don't like God. And you know, I would hate to be sitting on God's
-
planet and just like, I don't like you God because you know, I'm just a third wave feminist
-
and I just don't think that it's that bad to be a whore. Well, you know what, the Bible says
-
that if you have a guy who's a man of God, he's a priest in the Old Testament, that's
-
the man of God who's serving God full time, teaching and preaching the word of God,
-
doing the animal sacrifices in the temple or the tabernacle, depending on what era we're in.
-
I mean, it says that if his daughter goes out there and is out fornicating,
-
then she's basically profaning her father. She's basically ruining his reputation or
-
dishonoring him. It's an embarrassment to the whole family, obviously. And so God literally
-
says to burn her at the stake. It's the Bible. She shall be burnt with fire. Look at Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 22 chapter mention
-
chapter 22 because look, this is all over the Bible. And you say, well, you know, you're in
-
you're in the mosaic law, we could go all over the Bible. You know, and it's not like this changed
-
in the New Testament. It's not like the New Testament is like a third wave feminist document
-
here. Okay, the New Testament affirms the teaching of the Old Testament. And look,
-
this is probably one of the most important doctrines that we understand that a lot of people get mixed
-
up on is the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Because a lot of people,
-
they think, oh, we're in the New Testament. Let's just throw out the entire Old Testament.
-
And this is such a horrible way to read the Bible. Because if you think about it,
-
just by volume, three quarters of the Bible is the Old Testament, right? Like if you look at
-
your Bible and just put your finger on Matthew one, and you just see how much you'd be
-
rejecting like you'd be rejecting like the lion share of the Bible. Like the Old Testament is a
-
lot longer than the New Testament. So if you're just gonna say, oh, it's just New Testament only,
-
you're missing out on a lot of what God has to say to you. Okay. And so here's a better way to
-
read the Bible. Instead of saying, oh, well, I'm just only going to go by the New Testament.
-
I'm going to totally just throw out like three quarters of the Bible or whatever,
-
approximately. A better way is to go by this principle. Unless God has specifically changed
-
something in the New Testament, everything in the Old Testament still stands. So there are particular
-
specific things in the New Testament where God says, look, this has changed in the New
-
Testament. Okay. The meats, the drinks, the divers, washings, the carnal ordinances,
-
the animal sacrifices, the Levitical priesthood. The book of Hebrews specifically tells you that
-
these things are repealed, that they're done away in Christ. Those things are temporary.
-
This is what changed. He doesn't just say, throw out everything in the Old Testament. Rather,
-
the New Testament says, all scripture is given by inspiration of God. And if you look at the
-
context of when and to whom that's being written, he's talking about the Old Testament
-
because the New Testament hasn't even finished being written yet. Only parts of it have even
-
been written. And he's telling Timothy, he says, from a child Dallas known the Holy
-
Scriptures, well, guess what? When Timothy was a child, none of the New Testament had been
-
written yet. Zero. So he's saying, from a child, Timothy, you knew the Holy Scriptures,
-
that can only be talking about the 39 books from Genesis to Malachi. He says, from a child
-
you've known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith.
-
What's salvation? Through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. Next breath, all scripture is given
-
by inspiration of God. He's talking about Old Testament scriptures specifically. Obviously,
-
it applies to the New Testament as well. But he says, all scripture is given by inspiration
-
of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness. So where
-
do I get instructions for righteousness in the New Testament? I can get them from all 66 books
-
because if I'm reading in the Old Testament and it tells me, you know, not to do something
-
because it's morally wrong, then I shouldn't do it. And the New Testament didn't come along and
-
say, hey, killing is okay now. Adultery is okay now. Stealing is okay now. It changed the ceremonial law,
-
but it did not change the moral or criminal laws. It changed the ceremonial law, you know,
-
the things that were like dietary stuff, clean, unclean, animal sacrifices, levitical priesthood.
-
Folks, if you don't understand that, you're not going to go very far in your study of the
-
Bible because you're basically studying the Bible with one arm tied behind your back
-
because you're basically rejecting like a giant chunk of scripture and you're missing out on so
-
many important teachings of the Bible by restricting yourself only to the New Testament. Then you
-
have these hyper dispensationalists come along and then they'll throw out the four Gospels and say
-
those aren't for you either. And they'll say it's Romans to Philemon. That's it. So you have
-
people literally just using this little, and I've literally seen these dispies get up and
-
hold up their Bible and go, this is the part of the Bible that's written to you and squeeze
-
Romans to Philemon between their fingers. Nope. The entire Bible is given by inspiration of God
-
and it's profitable for doctrine in 2026 America. So you can't just play this card of, well,
-
that's in the Old Testament. So is love thy neighbor as thyself. That's a quote from the
-
Old Testament. Leviticus chapter 19. Ah, Leviticus. Yeah, Leviticus 19. That's not love thy
Leviticus 19 chapter mention
-
neighbor as thyself. No, Jesus was quoting Leviticus. Jesus loved to quote Leviticus.
-
Okay. So where did we leave off? Where did I have you turn? Deuteronomy 22 verse 21. Then they
-
shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house and the men of her city shall stone her
-
with stones that she die because she had brought folly in Israel. So what does the Bible call it
-
when you're out there as a girl losing your virginity, committing fornication,
-
playing the whore? He says you've wrought folly. Now, what does folly mean? Folly is the noun that
-
goes with the other noun that has to do with people called fool. The person is the fool and the
-
act that they engage in is folly or foolishness. So this is a stupid thing to do. It's folly.
-
It's foolishness. It says she has wrought folly in Israel to play the whore in her father's
-
house. So shall thou put away evil from among you. Look at chapter 23 verse 17. Deuteronomy 23
-
17. There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
-
There's a little bit of intersectionality in that verse, I feel like. Verse number 18.
-
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore or the price of a dog into the house of the
-
Lord thy God for any vow, for even both these are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
-
He's saying, you know, don't take the money that you earned as being a prostitute
-
and put it in the offering plate. You know, so if you made money on only fans,
-
don't tithe on it. Okay, is what the Bible's teaching here. Okay, Jeremiah chapter three,
-
if you would flip over to Jeremiah three. I got a hurry because I got a lot more ground to cover.
-
Jeremiah chapter three, I'll start reading while you get there. Verse three,
-
there, therefore the showers have been withholding and there have been no ladder
-
rain and thou hadst a whore's forehead thou refuses to be ashamed. So he's saying, you know,
-
when you refuse to be ashamed for the sins that you do, he says you have a whore's forehead.
-
So the quintessential person who has no shame is the whore according to the Bible. Right.
-
And so, you know, this is what third wave feminism is embracing and saying,
-
hey, you go girl, be a harlot, be a whore. There's no shame in that.
-
You know, it's your body, your choice. And so, you know, you just rock that thing.
-
You know, that's what they're basically teaching in the third wave in the 90s and 2000s.
-
This is what was being taught. Man, I got a hurry. Jeremiah chapter three,
-
verse nine, it came to pass through the lightness of her Hortom that she defiled the land
-
and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. Now look, notice this word,
-
the lightness of the Hortom, meaning that they don't think it's a big deal.
-
Like they're not taking it seriously. Like something serious would be something heavy.
-
And then the lightness is just like flippantly. And you know what they'll even call this like
-
casual, having these casual encounters and this casual hookup culture. It's wickedness.
-
Go to Jeremiah six, verse 15, Jeremiah six, 15, were they ashamed when they had
-
committed abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashamed. Neither could they blush.
-
Therefore they shall fall among them that fall. At that time that I visit them,
-
they shall be cast down, say at the Lord. And verse 16 is the answer. It says,
-
thus say at the Lord, stand ye in the ways and see and ask for the old paths, right?
-
Let's go back to before the 1990s, before this third wave, before the 20th century,
-
normalize this stuff. The old paths, wherein is the good way and walk therein. But they said,
-
and you shall find rest for your souls, but they said, we will not walk therein.
-
Go to Ezekiel 16, verse 33, because some people will object to this and say, well,
-
okay, yeah, I mean selling yourself in person or online. Obviously this is Hortom.
-
Obviously this is harlotry. This is prostitution. It's bad. But you know what? The Bible does not
-
distinguish, and this is where sometimes even these scriptures could be confusing to the modern
-
mind. The Bible does not distinguish between the woman who's just out being promiscuous
-
and the woman who's selling her body in prostitution. They're both just called whores.
-
Like the Bible isn't like, well, you didn't sell it so you're not a whore.
-
The Bible is like, wow, you didn't even make money?
-
The Bible is like, you did this for free? What the heck? That is how the Bible treats it.
-
Look at the Bible. I didn't write this. Look at Ezekiel 16, verse 33.
-
They give gifts to all whores. I mean, at least if you're an actual little prostitute,
-
you're getting paid. But thou give us thy gifts to all thy lovers.
-
You're this feminist who's insisting on paying for dinner and then being a whore
-
and getting no money. You didn't even get dinner. You buy your own dinner,
-
you split the bill, you went dutch. Thou give us thy gifts to all thy lovers and
-
hires them that they may come in unto thee on every side for thy hordom.
-
And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy hordoms,
-
whereas none follow with thee to commit hordoms. You're not like that woman that
-
Azie family was glorifying because you don't have the customers. Whereas none
-
follow thee to commit hordoms and in that thou give us a reward and no reward is
-
given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary. Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the
-
Lord, doth say at the Lord God, because thy filthiness was poured out,
-
and thy nakedness discovered through thy hordoms with thy lovers,
-
and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy
-
children, which Thou didst give. And so notice where hordom ultimately leads
-
to is the blood of your children. That's called abortion.
-
Right? Because then you have to discard the product of your hordoms.
-
As if it were trash, when in reality it's a human soul created in the image of God.
-
All right, point number three. And this point was not originally in my outline,
-
but I was listening to Pastor Stuckey's sermon on Third Wave Feminism,
-
which he also preached on Sunday morning, but because he's in the Philippines,
-
I was able to listen to it last night. And so I actually got this one.
-
And I would encourage you to supplement this series that I'm preaching.
-
Because Pastor Matthew Stuckey is also doing a four-part series.
-
And he covers a lot of material that I'm not covering, because there's so much.
-
And so his sermons have been great on this. So I would strongly encourage you to check out
-
those sermons as well. But this Third Wave also pushed the idea that women can dress however
-
they want. That women should have the right to dress however they want in whatever situation
-
they want. So if you think about it, in the earlier waves of feminism,
-
they're basically fighting for the right to wear men's clothing.
-
So in the second wave of feminism, they're really normalizing wearing men's clothing
-
and fighting to wear men's clothing. Now, this is not used to be this way in our country.
-
In fact, when my dad was a teenager and my mom was a teenager growing up in Los Angeles,
-
California in the 1960s. Now, just so you know, Los Angeles is not the Bible Belt.
-
Okay? So this is LA in the 60s, public school system. And you know what? The girls are required
-
to wear skirts and dresses to school every day. And they have to reach the knee. Knee-length
-
skirts and dresses. This is in the 60s now. Knee-length skirts and dresses. The man had
-
to have short hair. And, you know, it was just the culture. That's just the way it was.
-
Well, that's a biblical culture. It's a biblical concept. Because the Bible teaches that
-
we should dress differently. Like, we shouldn't be in drag. Man shouldn't be putting on women's
-
clothing. Women should be putting on men's clothing. And the Bible says this in Deuteronomy 22
-
5. You don't have to turn there. But it says, the woman shall not wear that which pertaineth
-
unto a man. Neither shall a man put on a woman's garment for all that do so or an abomination
-
unto the Lord thy God. So obviously, you know, we want to dress like man as man. We want
-
women to dress like women. And throughout history, this is what it is. But women, you know,
-
in the feminist movement, which is almost like a masculist movement, where they're saying,
-
hey, we have to be able to dress like men so that we can go do men's jobs. And where men's
-
clothing to do men's jobs. Well, the third wave comes along and says, well, we want to do men's
-
jobs in women's clothing. And not only that, but we want to be able to wear the skirt
-
just as short as possible in all situations. Because otherwise, we're being body shaved.
-
You know, if we can't just let it all hang out everywhere we go, and just wear this super
-
provocative clothing and put our bodies on display, then you're oppressing us and body
-
shaming us. And you know what? If men are distracted by us, well, that's their fault.
-
They just need to just become more like Stevie Wonder and just kind of keep their eyes
-
to themselves. And it's their problem and it's their fault. You know, when in reality,
-
obviously we as men, yeah, we are responsible to guard our eyes and to not set something wicked
-
before our eyes. And we should keep our eyes, you know, on the right things. But then also,
-
there shouldn't just be a bunch of temptations walking around either. Like why can't we do
-
both? Like why can't women dress modestly and men control their eyes both? You know, and we
-
could just have like a double safeguard there. Okay. But now you get into this thing of just
-
even like morbidly obese women wearing almost no clothing. Because they're just like, well,
-
you know, I just have to just express myself. And I just have to just show it all to you.
-
And here's the thing about this women is that, you know, according to the Bible, first
-
of all, there's what the Bible calls the attire of a harlot. You know, in Proverbs chapter seven,
-
verse 10, it says they're met in a woman with the attire of a harlot. And that should be
-
something that you don't want to wear where God's looking down from heaven and describing you that
-
way. But go if you would to 1 Timothy chapter two, because you should be ashamed to dress like
-
a harlot, right? If it's not for sale, take down the for sale side. And so they want to
-
dress super provocatively and wear all these things. And look, this is not making you more
-
attractive to the right kind of men. You know, if you're a young lady, if you're a teenage girl,
-
if you're a young single lady right now, just so you know, the most attractive thing that you
-
could wear is you could dress like a lady and dress modestly, that's going to impress the right
-
kind of man. Okay, now I'm sure that you can just impress some skeevy dude, some gross,
-
greasy, slimy, skeevy kind of a dude by just going around half naked or whatever. And you know what?
-
We see this sometimes, don't we? I mean, I remember my wife and I were on vacation in Washington
-
earlier this year, and we were in Leavenworth. It's like this German village and everything.
-
And so, you know, you got all the women in the dirndoles and the German outfits and the
-
dresses and stuff. And I kid you not, there was this woman walking down the street. I don't
-
think my wife was there to see this. There was a woman walking down the street that was
-
virtually naked. And she was with her boyfriend, and he looked like some kind of a punk rocker from
-
the early 80s or something. He was kind of punked out. And I mean, this woman was basically like
-
tantamount to being naked. Like if she would have been in her underwear, that probably would have
-
been like more, it would have been less revealing. And honestly, it just, everybody was horrified.
-
Like even just unsaved, worldly people, just everybody was just like glaring at her
-
and everybody's elbowing and whispering like, what? This is gross. What is this? Because she was just
-
kind of a gross looking woman. And then she's just like virtually naked. And it's just like,
-
there's families and stuff, just trying to enjoy a wholesome time. And it was just weird.
-
You know, and here's the thing, you go on the campus of ASU, and sometimes you'll see
-
this too. Just naked booties walking around and you're just like, what in the world?
-
And it's just, let me tell you something, is that there's this expression that used to be used
-
back in the olden days of leaving something to the imagination. It was like, hey, that outfit leaves
-
nothing to the imagination. So here's the thing. You ladies, you can dress nice and wear a nice
-
feminine, modest outfit. And you know what? Men who are the right kind of men,
-
you know, they're still going to see your beauty. They could look at your face, for example,
-
and like your face. Okay? But not only that, but here's the thing is that, you know what? Yeah,
-
women are beautiful. We get it. We don't need to see everything. Okay? And so just showing off
-
everything is just cheapening yourself, disgracing yourself, dishonoring yourself. And honestly,
-
it just leaves nothing to the imagination. And here's the thing about imagination.
-
Usually people imagine things better than they really are anyway. So when you leave nothing
-
to the imagination, you're probably not even doing yourself any favors, especially if you're
-
morbidly obese, you know. Anyway, I don't want to go off on some big thing about that, but
-
I'm just saying, okay, look what the Bible says in 1st Timothy chapter two, verse nine.
-
It's sort of, okay, I will say something about it. Sorry. Sorry, not sorry. But you know,
-
what's funny is, I remember during the COVID pandemic, there'd be people that you'd meet and
-
you'd never seen them without the mask. Who knows what I'm talking about? Like, you meet someone
-
and they're wearing the mask and you could know these people for weeks or months while they're
-
wearing a mask over their face. And you've interacted with people for, I mean, there were
-
people that I interacted with for hours and hours and hours. And I had no idea what was
-
under that mask. Okay? And then when they take off the mask for the first time, it's jarring.
-
And it's not that these are weird looking people. They're not weird looking people at all.
-
It's just that your imagination has already filled in a certain look. And let me tell you
-
something. No one ever looked better when they took off the mask. No one. Because what your brain,
-
like when I'm looking at people with the mask on, my brain is filling in like a perfect
-
whatever under that mask. Everything's perfect under the mask. Perfect nose,
-
mouth, everything's just perfect. You know, so when they took off the mask, it never lived up to
-
what you thought was under there. And I'm not saying that I was doing this consciously.
-
I wasn't. It's subconscious because it happened a bunch of times. And then I sat and thought
-
about it and philosophized about it. And I'm like, oh, you know what it is, is that when we
-
imagine people that we haven't seen, we don't imagine problems. When we imagine
-
fictional people and fictional, we're not imagining a problem. We're imagining something
-
good, something pleasant, something nice. And so when they take off the mask, you're always just
-
like, what the heck? That's what you look like. It's never like, oh, wow, you're much more handsome
-
or much prettier than I thought. No, because, you know, it's just our brains tend to fill
-
in a best case scenario. Now, I'm not saying walk around with a mask all day like a weirdo.
-
You know, I'm just saying that that's what happened when you, if you never
-
met someone, and I understand that people have medical reasons why they need to wear a mask or
-
whatever. I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to get on that. I'm just saying that that phenomenon,
-
now take what I just taught you there about faces and maybe who here would say, and be honest,
-
who here would say, you know what, I think you're right, Pastor Anderson, because I actually
-
experienced that where people took the mask off and I was a little bit disturbed by what, okay.
-
Yeah, so I'm not, I just want to make sure I'm not the only one, because sometimes I have some
-
weird ideas, okay. Just want to make sure this wasn't one of those times. But the point is,
-
now let's apply that to you just showing off your naked booty on the ASU campus or something.
-
It's like, you know, you're not doing anybody any favors, because you know what,
-
otherwise people are just going to assume that you're better looking than you really are,
-
if anything. So why would you just strip it all off and show, look, it's disgraceful,
-
it's shameful, it's wrong, okay. And look, men who are godly Christians, they are more likely to
-
find you attractive if you're not showing them anything. And I'm not talking about being some
-
weird Muslim hijab, I'm just talking about just a normal modest dress that just goes down to your
-
knees and just, you know, you're not just saying, hey, look at my breasts, hey, look at
-
that, you know, it's just, it's obnoxious and it's what the Bible calls immodest, okay. Look what the
-
Bible says in 1st Timothy 2.9, it says, in like manner also that women adorn themselves in
-
modest apparel, with what? Shame, faciveness, and sobriety, not with broided hair or gold or
-
pearls or costly array, but which become with women professing godliness with good works.
-
Notice, the gold, silver, pearls, what is it all saying? Look at me. It's all about
-
getting attention. The Bible is saying we should not dress to get attention like that woman in
-
Leavenworth, Washington, where she's the talker of the town. I'm still talking about it. You know,
-
this weird, gross punk rocker with her boyfriend that was practically nude. Hey, everybody, look
-
at me. That's the wrong kind of attention. And the kind of guys that you're going to get
-
attention from that are going to come and want to date you because you're dressing that way
-
are the wrong kind of guys. The right kind of guys are going to be like, don't want to
-
take her home to mama. So modest apparel, don't dress for attention. I'm going to skip some
-
verses here for sake of time. Point number four is this, and if you would turn in your Bible to
-
how about Luke chapter nine? Luke chapter nine, point number four of third wave feminism is this.
-
We said, of course, number one was the intersectionality pervert stuff. We said
-
number two was the prostitution being normalized and dignified. Number three, the right to dress
-
however we want and just show up to some office job, just dress like a hooker and show up to
-
school dress like a hooker. Whereas even in Los Angeles in the 60s, you had to dress modestly.
-
And this is what they said. We don't want to distract the students.
-
Well, if you're a distract, it's your fault, right? It's sort of like every guy at the gym
-
is a creep starter pack. And it's like the super immodest yoga pants and the leotard
-
and whatever. And then it's like, oh, the guys at the gym are creeps. It's like, well,
-
you're the one dressing that way and putting yourself out there. Obviously the men should
-
be controlling their eyes, but also you shouldn't be dressing that way. Anyway,
-
you got some daddy issues or whatever. You got a problem. But the fourth and final point is this,
-
the broader rejection of God given gender roles in favor of quote, individual self definition.
-
And this is this kind of idea of like, well, I identify as X, Y and Z like, well, only I know
-
who I am. No one can tell me who I am because I'm going to be who I am. And of course,
-
this has just become ingrained in our mentality now. But here's what the Bible says in Matthew
-
19.4 it says, he answered instead of them, have you not read that he which made them at the
-
beginning made them male and female, right? So God made them at the beginning male and female.
-
So there's no third, fourth, fifth gender can identify and people are identifying as
-
animals like identify as a dog or a cat or a pony or whatever.
-
But here's what the Bible says, we're going to get to Luke in a moment, but it says in Isaiah 64-8,
-
but now, oh Lord, thou art our Father, we are the clay and thou art the potter,
-
thou are our potter, and we all are the work of thy hand, right? So it's God who made us,
-
and the potter is the one who decides what the clay is. The clay doesn't get to decide,
-
well, I don't care how God made me, this is what I am.
-
Romans chapter 9 verse 20, Nay, but oh man, who art thou that replyest against God? Shall the thing
-
formed say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus? Why did you make me this way, God?
-
I want to identify as something else. But feminism has always been about wishing that you were,
-
something that you were not. Wishing that you can be something that you're not.
-
And there's also this obsession with, quote, finding yourself. I have to go
-
find myself. And we've all heard it. We've all grown up with this idea of you gotta find yourself.
-
Well, what does the Bible say? Look at Luke 9 verse 23, and he said to them all,
-
if any man will come after me, let him find himself. Is that what it says?
-
No, it says, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me,
-
for whosoever will save his life shall lose it, but whosoever will lose his life for my
-
sake, the same shall save it. You lose your life for Christ's sake and you find it.
-
You deny self, not find myself. So there's also this, because of this movement,
-
there's also just across the board become this obsession with people having to feel like
-
they are different or special or exceptional. And to the point where a lot of young people
-
in the 90s and early 2000s claim to be sodomites when they're not even sodomites,
-
you know? And so it's like they're saying that they're a homo just to get attention,
-
because like, yay, I'm different. It's trendy. It's cool. And not only that,
-
but claiming to have like neurological and mental disorders that they don't have
-
just to be special. Oh, I'm bipolar. I have ADD. I have ADHD. I'm on the spectrum.
-
Everybody wants to be neurologically divergent or, you know, as they call it, neuro spicy.
-
It's like, why would you want to glorify mental and neurological disorders? And let me tell you
-
some of the grossest, worst disorder of all is being a homo. Now I approve for this
-
because there's a Washington Post article that came out not too long ago.
-
And here's the headline on the Washington Post article. Number of teens who identify
-
themselves as gay or bisexual is in free fall in 2026. Here's some CDC data. Among ninth grade girls,
-
bisexual identification fell from 26% in 21 to 13% in 2025. So just from 2025 to 2000,
-
or excuse me, 2021 to 2025, it dropped from 26% of ninth grade girls like, oh, I'm actually by,
-
right? Went down to 13%. Now, why would that be? Why would it drop from 26% to 13% in just a few years?
-
And then the boys went from 9% to 7% who were saying that. I'll tell you why, because they
-
were just jumping on this trendy bandwagon. It's not even real. And so it says on the article,
-
conservatives have trumpeted the data. That's what I'm doing right now, trumpeting it.
-
Conservatives have trumpeted the data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
-
but researchers say the reasons for the decline are unclear. Let me clear it up for you.
-
You brainwashed them with a bunch of stupid movies and celebrities. Hey, it's cool to be
-
a pervert. Hey, it's cool to be a weirdo. The last thing you want to be is normal.
-
You got to express yourself. You got to find yourself. You got to identify how you want to
-
identify. Who cares what God says? They brainwashed them with this garbage. So then they're just
-
like, oh, yeah, yeah, I want to be cool. I want to stand out. I want to be different.
-
So yeah, I'm a pervert. Yeah, you know, that's what it is. And so now here's the thing
-
in 2026. It's not it's not it's getting the point where we're just like gross. We're sick of it.
-
It's not cool anymore. It never was cool to normal people. But I'm saying it's getting the point where
-
where it's just not that cool anymore, because we're out of the third wave. And so now it's like,
-
yeah, I'm normal. Screw you. So I went from like 26 to 13%. Now look, I didn't make this up.
-
This is a Washington Post article, CDC numbers that I'm giving you fact check confirmed.
-
I'm bringing receipts. Mental and neurological disorders aren't cool. I'm always trying to hide
-
my mental and neurological disorders. I don't go around talking about them.
-
Keep it in. You got to keep that stuff quiet. You know, no, I'm just kidding.
-
Quit trying to be special or to be something that you're not. Why don't you just be happy
-
with what God made you? You know, I'm just a straight white Christian male who's married and,
-
you know, has children like I'm just so boring, right? You know, super boring. But guess this is
-
who God made me. This is who I am. And listen to what the Bible says is the last scripture will
-
read 1 Corinthians 717 as God has distributed to every man as the Lord has called everyone.
-
So let him walk. Verse 20, let every man abide in the same calling where he was called.
-
Verse 24, brethren, let every man wherein he is called,
-
therein abide with God. Just be the way you are. Be who you are. What God has made you embrace it.
-
If you're a man, be a man. If you're a woman, be a woman. If you're neurologically divergent,
-
well, oh, sorry. We can still be friends. But it's not like, oh, you're extra cool now.
-
You're on the spectrum? Yeah. ADD, ODD, OCD, yeah. Like what? Why do we glorify illnesses?
-
You know, and look, obviously, yeah, there are people who are blind and deaf. Okay, I get it.
-
We're not going to be down on those people, but we shouldn't be like, yeah,
-
it's better to be blind. Let's go poke our eyes out so that we can join the club.
-
That's crazy. And let me tell you something. When you get away from the Word of God,
-
it takes you some insane places. Okay. And I'm going to close there. Let's
-
bow to the Lord of Prayer. Father, we thank you so much for your word.
-
Thank you for giving us an anchor of the soul. Thank you for giving us a rock upon
-
which we can build our lives. And Lord, we already know that we're already special in
-
your sight and that you have the hairs of our head numbered. Lord, help that to be good
-
enough for us, that you love us and that you have a unique plan for us. And Lord,
-
help us to embrace the Christian life that you have set before us, Lord, and help us to be the
-
best Christians we can be and help us to live within your boundaries and follow your rules
-
so that we can live the purest, most fulfilling, most effective life as we serve you and preach
-
the gospel of Christ to all nations. And it's in his name we pray. Amen.
