Are You A ____ Christian?

(0:01) Real Life presents the Jack Hibbs Podcast, with intention and boldness to proclaim truth, (0:07) equip the saints, and impact our culture. Hey, is your life described by a hyphen? (0:13) What about all of these hyphens? We live in a hyphenated culture. People seem to be absolutely (0:20) obsessed with the hyphen part more than the reality. Let's dive into what I'm talking about (0:27) as we open up the Bible. Let's do a little examination. Is your life hyphenated? (0:36) You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to Jackhibbs.com slash podcast. (0:43) Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ, (0:49) then make sure you leave us one of those five-star ratings. To us, that's like saying (0:54) amen or yes. Then that rating will encourage others to listen. (0:59) Now, open your hearts to what God's Word has to say to you. Here is Jack Hibbs. (1:05) Well, hey, everybody, welcome to the Jack Hibbs Show, and we are delighted to be with you guys. (1:09) As always, please share our content with others. That's the greatest thing that you could do for (1:15) us is get the word out. And we want to bring you the word always. I think, I hope you've caught on (1:21) by now that we just want to get away from the fluff and get to the stuff that makes life matter, (1:28) causes our faith to make a difference. And talking about faith making a difference, (1:35) we, I think we really need as a culture to take a really, and I mean Christian culture, (1:41) take a big deep breath and take a deep dive into what does it mean to be a Christian? (1:47) And I know that today with what we're going to be talking about, there's going to be (1:52) some tremendous input and comments. We would love to get those from you. (1:57) What we do is that we'll look at your comments, and when we do come around to doing (2:03) our answering questions, we will hopefully get to your comment or your question. And today's (2:09) going to be one of those days because we're going to be talking about something that is (2:13) absolutely socially both accepted and unaccepted. I'll have to explain it to you. Accepted (2:20) in the sense that we live in a hyphenated world. I'm going to ask you to just write that down in (2:26) your heart, your mind, on a piece of paper. A hyphenated world. You say, what do you mean (2:32) hyphenated? All of a sudden, it seems as though things in life, even in Christianity, which this (2:39) has no bearing, it has no place whatsoever, and that is to be a hyphenated Christian. (2:48) So let me back up by saying this. There was a guy by the name of Patrick Henry. For some (2:53) Americans, they might remember their ancient history, and Patrick Henry was one of the (2:59) remarkable firebrands, they would call him. Patrick Henry had and was known for (3:07) having one of the greatest voices and ability to articulate. When he spoke, people stopped (3:17) and listened to what he was saying. He could stop a crowd. And Patrick Henry was a remarkable (3:25) orator. In light of all of that, when it was being debated and talked about and the birthing (3:34) of the United States, which they did not have in their mind at that time, they didn't know what (3:41) you and I have come to become really acquainted with or even bored with, and that is, there was (3:48) no United States in their mind. They were practicing, hoping to put into practice, (3:56) a miracle in human government, which had never happened before. And when Patrick Henry understood (4:03) the direction that the colonies were headed, remember each colony, 13 of them were greatly (4:08) divided. Imagine 13 colonies actually being 13 different countries. They all shared the same (4:15) language, which was extremely unique, but they were as good as 13 different countries. (4:21) When the vision of the revolution was clearly made visible and articulated by a guy by the name of (4:30) Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry said this. He said, I am no longer a Virginian. I'm an American. (4:39) Isn't that great? Because people were saying, I'm a Massachusetts American. I'm a Virginian (4:46) American. I am a North Carolina American. And Patrick Henry laid that down and the hyphen went (4:56) away. No longer did people talk about being a Virginian American. And how many times do we (5:05) tragically in the Christian church discuss or introduce ourselves with hyphens? I'm a Baptist (5:14) Christian. What in the world is that? I'm a Methodist Christian. I'm a non-denominational (5:21) Christian. I am a progressive Christian. I am a liberal Christian. I'm a conservative Christian. (5:27) I'm an evangelical Christian. All of these things, we're going to call them what, for what they are (5:34) hyphenated, hyphenated life. And I want to read something to you from the scriptures. And then (5:39) we'll, we'll get deeper into this. In first Corinthians chapter one, verse 10, this is what (5:44) Paul said to the Corinthians. He said, now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus (5:49) Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there'll be no divisions among you, but that you (5:57) be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. I find that fascinating. (6:03) The same mind, but the same conclusion, same judgment. For it has been declared to me concerning (6:10) you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you, hyphens. (6:20) Now I say this, that each of you says I'm of Paul, or another says I'm of Apollos, or one might say (6:30) I'm of Cephas, or some say I'm of Christ. Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? (6:39) Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you, (6:45) except Crispus and Gaius, lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. Yes, (6:52) I also baptized the household of Stephanus, and besides, I do not know whether I baptized any (6:58) other. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, (7:05) but, listen, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. Galatians 3 verse 26, (7:15) for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized (7:21) into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, (7:27) there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ, (7:34) then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. Oneness, unity. It may be that (7:42) the church is more divided than ever before, and it's been that way for a very long time, (7:48) because knowingly or unknowingly, we have swallowed some sort of carnal, (7:55) carnal mode, very subtle, but I think very powerful mode of division. We've actually (8:02) welcomed it in. And here I go. I'm just going to lay it out there. And (8:10) including myself, we're going to have to cope with this stuff. (8:14) Do you see anywhere in the Bible where there was a gathering of believers (8:21) that were only those from the region of Bithynia, for example? It's a real place. (8:31) Or there was the church from and only those from Thessalonica. Or there was the church only (8:39) of Rome or Galatia. You name it. In the New Testament, would they say, Hi, nice to meet you. (8:49) I'm a Galatian Christian. Oh, really? Well, I'm a Bithynian Christian. None of them did that. (8:56) Nobody did that. They didn't hyphenate their Christian identity because they had died. (9:03) They had died to their old life, and they were no longer walking around saying, (9:09) those from, for example, Italy, Hey, I'm an Italian Christian. Or those from (9:18) Western Europe, which would have been Tartus, or the region of Spain, maybe even the isles (9:24) of Great Britain today. Oh, hey, I'm a Macedonian Christian, or I am a Tartus Christian. (9:38) Nobody did that. It's nowhere found in the Bible. And you know why? I think it was because (9:44) their identity, they clearly understood that their identity had been swept away by the blood of (9:49) Christ, and they had come into a brand new relationship with Jesus Christ and all of (9:53) earthly tags, markings, and identities had been removed from the real source of who they were. (10:02) Did they say, Hey, I'm a Christian and I'm from the area of Asia Minor. I know exactly what you're (10:10) talking about. I'm sure they talked like that. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm a Christian. (10:15) I'm from Southern California, but I'm not a Southern California Christian or dialing it down (10:20) more. I'm Portuguese, half Portuguese, 50%. So I don't walk around saying I'm a Portuguese (10:28) Christian. That divides the body of Christ. I don't walk around saying I'm a white Christian. (10:36) What is that? I'm a black Christian. Oh, I'm an Asian Christian. There's no such thing. (10:43) A hyphenated life in the church? That's insane. That just divides people up. It draws lines (10:50) and it divides us when we ought to be working hard to unify us, of course, all always around (10:58) the truth. But let me go a little bit more so, and let's let the reality be dealt with. (11:07) Can you be a Christian with a hyphen? What do you mean by that? Can you be a gay Christian? (11:20) A gay Christian? I didn't say, can you be a Christian who struggles with (11:28) gay temptation? I'm not talking about that. Are you a bank robber Christian? (11:36) I'm a thief Christian. I'm a thieving Christian. Are you tempted to steal? (11:43) Okay, that's different than being a thieving Christian. (11:49) You can go down the list, and I wrote a very small list, (11:53) and then I'll read one from the Bible. But if you think for a moment that any one of us are (11:58) going to enter the kingdom of heaven with a hyphen, we've deceived ourselves. That is not (12:02) going to happen. What we're trying to do when we hyphenate our Christianity is that we are (12:10) bringing in the old and trying to weld it to the new, and that's about as successful as iron being (12:16) mixed with clay. It's not going to work. It's impossible. Have you ever seen something when (12:22) you don't read the recipe instructions on the box well? And not only well, but I didn't realize this (12:31) until too late in my life, that even when you follow a recipe, you know how it says (12:35) first take a bowl and then add an egg and mix it, and then add the powder and mix that, (12:46) and then do a teaspoon of oil and mix that? Did you know? I didn't know. Did you know that (12:51) even the order matters? When you reverse the order, you make pancakes that my pancakes (13:00) looked like a cluster of grapes. It was insane. It was just all a bunch of stuff balled up and (13:07) chunked up because I had all the right ingredients, but I didn't do it in the right order. (13:13) Listen, everything regarding Jesus Christ, the new recipe is this. We are in Christ. (13:20) We've died to ourselves in the past life. We are a new creation in Jesus. (13:26) And so I have to tell you, I'm not a fan of all white churches. I'm not a fan of all Asian (13:35) churches, all Chinese churches or all Korean churches. I'm not a fan of all black churches. (13:42) I'm not a fan of dividing of the body of Christ. I think that when God is moving (13:47) and his word is being presented and the Holy Spirit is doing what he does, (13:51) I think you're going to look across a congregation and you're going to see what looks like (13:59) a montage of color and of people from various countries. The church is not divided. (14:08) I don't know why we do this. Look, if you live in an all white community, (14:15) that's just the way it is. But if a black man or a black woman comes into that church, (14:23) that person is the same color to God as anybody else. God doesn't look at a congregation and say, (14:30) you know what, you guys can be the gay Christian community. That's impossible. (14:36) And by the way, I just made one of the fundamental mistakes that our culture does. (14:41) Don't ever mix pigmentation with life choices. None of us have the choice of our pigmentation, (14:51) but everyone has the choice about gayness. Can you be a gay Christian? (14:59) Again, if you're tempted, you can be a Christian that's tempted in these areas, (15:06) but you don't follow through with that. Can you be a pot smoking, drug taking Christian? (15:13) You can be tempted, but you can't live that life. You can't practice that life. (15:18) You cannot hyphenate that into your Christianity. Well, can you be an alcoholic Christian? (15:25) Can you hyphenate that into your Christianity? My argument is you can't. You may be tempted to (15:30) drink, but that's no longer in control of your life. That's not what you live for. (15:36) Can you be a pornographic Christian? How about that one? Can you be a porn Christian? (15:43) What is your hyphen? I would suggest that you and I take whatever hyphen we think we're entertaining (15:49) and we nail it to the cross because it's an offense to God. We cannot be hyphenated people. (15:56) What about greedy? And we doctored that one up. Well, I just, you know, I just have a knack for (16:01) making money. We will spend all kinds of things. Well, I give a lot of it away, you know, (16:07) but you know, down deep inside that, that you've justify it where you, you know what, (16:11) I'm an entrepreneur Christian. That's a fancy way of making it go down a little bit better. (16:17) It's nothing wrong with being an entrepreneur, but if you're greedy, can you be a greedy Christian? (16:22) Can you be a greedy new creation? Can you be a gay new creation? Can you be a drugged up (16:28) new creation? Can you be an alcoholic new creation? Can you be a porn new creation? (16:35) How about this? Can you be a choice Christian? Well, hi, you know, I'm a Christian. I'm pro-choice. (16:42) No, you're not. That's not, how can you do that? That's one of the most ridiculous hyphens of all. (16:49) I'm a pro-choice Christian. That's impossible. Unless you, unless you understand what pro-choice (16:56) really means. Pro-choice means that you have the, that you have the ability to choose. Once you make (17:03) a choice, you're responsible for your choice because after you choose, a choice has been made. (17:08) So if I, being a Christian, choose to get a burrito that has got habanero turbo hot sauce on it, (17:17) and I eat it because I chose to eat it. And then later I have consequences from that. (17:23) I can't blame anybody. I made the wrong choice when I had the time and now I got sick from eating (17:31) that burrito. People who say that they're pro-choice Christians regarding babies and pregnancy, (17:38) they're playing mind games with themselves because you make a choice when it comes to reproduction, (17:45) you make the choice to act out how people are reproduced, how humans are made. But then when (17:54) you make a human, then you want to, then you want to exercise choice. You already exercise choice. (18:01) This is the consequences from your choice. You chose to have sex and the result is a baby. (18:10) You chose to have a turbo spiced habanero burrito and because of your choice, (18:18) your stomach is sick. You say, well, you pro-choice. You know what? I guess I am pro-choice, (18:24) but I'm also pro-results, pro-consequences. You hear what I'm saying? I am pro-choice because (18:32) I'm going to eat lunch today. I don't know what I'm going to eat. I'm going to choose. (18:35) But we don't like to deal with the consequences. So when somebody says, I'm a pro-choice Christian, (18:42) can you have sex with somebody? Of course, biology's real. Of course you can. Can you (18:49) abort that child after you're pregnant and hyphenate your Christianity? I'm a pro-choice (18:56) Christian. You cannot be that. Just like you cannot be a pro-porn Christian. It's impossible. (19:02) You're lying to yourself. What about this? This is a big one. If the Democrats will not allow God (19:14) to be in their platform, if Democrats try to silence Christians, by the way, let's be honest, (19:22) Democrats try to silence Christians. They'll sometimes tolerate Jews. They will never (19:29) criticize Muslims ever. Democrats are always talking about separation of church and state, (19:36) which where's that? I'd like you to put that in the comment section, please. (19:40) Show me where that is in our founding documents. Where is that in the constitution? Where's that (19:45) in the bill of rights? Where is that in the declaration of independence? Where is that (19:50) in our nation's birth certificates? I'd love to see it. But I tell you what, (19:56) while the Democrat party attacks Christianity and gives Islam a free pass, you got to make your (20:03) bed and sleep in it with somebody. And I find it amazing to me that Democrats have no problem (20:08) sleeping with Muslims. I don't mean sleeping with, I'm talking about a Democrat will never criticize (20:15) Islam or Muslims, but boy, they'll go after the Christians. You want to know why? Christians (20:19) don't fight back. That's why. A Muslim will cut your head off. Christians, we're easy because you (20:27) guys can do whatever you want to us because we believe that God's going to take care of it in the (20:31) end. And he does, he does a way better job. Listen to this from the Bible. First Corinthians, (20:38) chapter six. Again, remember we're talking about there are no such thing. There is no such thing (20:44) as a hyphenated life. Do you not know? I'm sorry. First Corinthians chapter six, verse nine. (20:52) Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? So he's going to (20:59) give us a list of those who are not going to heaven. Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators (21:08) nor adulterers or idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals or sodomites, nor thieves, (21:18) nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. (21:28) And such were some of you, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified, (21:37) in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God. See any hyphens in there? No hyphens, (21:46) no dual existence in this world today and in the age of a very, very weakened Christian witness. (21:58) It's no wonder that the cults, it's no wonder that the Marxists, the communists, the socialists, (22:09) it's no wonder why the progressives, the liberals smell or taste blood in the water. (22:16) Because the church, on the surface anyway, the bulk of the church, air quotes, is all of these (22:25) things hyphenated. And we wonder why the church has no power. And we wonder why the church is (22:30) made fun of and mocked and the world doesn't respect nor have a reverential awe like the (22:35) church used to have in the culture. The Bible says that the church is the ground and the pillar of (22:41) all truth. But when was the last time you saw a church make such a difference in the culture (22:47) that it was the ground and pillar of all truth? And people either loved that church (22:51) or hated that church dependent upon their hyphenated life. Isn't it interesting? (22:58) There are those who may hate the truth but they fear it because down deep inside they know it's (23:04) true. There may be those who have no regard for the truth whatsoever because they're going to do (23:10) what they want to do no matter what because they've misunderstood the truth. How does that (23:15) come from? From entertaining a hyphenated life. Friends, listen. Beware of this. What I'm speaking (23:22) to you about is so dangerously common that we probably all deal with it in some way, shape, (23:29) or form. And we need to get back to the Bible purely so carefully. We need to slow down and (23:38) we need to realize, is Christ divided? Is there the church of Paul the Apostle or a church of (23:47) Peter the Apostle? That's insane. And look, church denominations in Christianity. Look, (23:56) cults can be cults. There can be the cult of this, the cult of that, the cult of all of the above. (24:01) I don't care what they do. In fact, Walter Martin, most of you do not know who that is, (24:07) but you ought to buy his book, Kingdom of the Cults. It's a Christian classic by Dr. Walter (24:12) Martin. The Kingdom of the Cults. It's a great book. I actually, what I'm about to tell you, (24:22) I actually heard him say it in person. I get to see this in person. Walter Martin said, (24:28) you should thank God for the cult that's down the street from your church. (24:34) And everybody thought, what? He's crazy. What's he saying? Walter Martin said, (24:39) those people that attend that cult, they have a real hunger for religion, (24:44) but they don't have a hunger for the truth. And so they gravitate toward a cult because that's (24:51) where they feel at home. That's where they belong because they do not want Jesus. They want (24:56) something else. And Walter Martin said, if those people were not at that cult, (25:01) they would be messing up your church. They would be in your church messing things up. (25:06) Isn't that a wild way of thinking about it? But leave it to Dr. Walter Martin. (25:10) I think you might be able to go to YouTube and check him out from the 60s and 70s, maybe even (25:17) the early 80s. That said, I want to invoke my pastoral position as a pastor and say, (25:30) I'm asking all of us who named the name of Jesus to examine our lives and to ask ourselves, (25:39) are we tempted in the area of stupid Democrat decisions? Are we tempted in the area of choosing (25:49) to take life and abortion? Are we dealing with the temptation of being greedy? Are we dealing (25:57) with the temptation of porn? Are we dealing with the temptation of alcohol? The temptation (26:02) of drugs or pot? Are we dealing with the temptation of immorality, homosexuality, (26:10) you name it? That is called the Christian battle. That is normal. You fight, you fight, you fight, (26:19) you do not give in and you crucify the flesh. The scripture says that these temptations, (26:27) these lusts are no longer in control of us. And we have victory through the word of God. (26:33) We open up the Bible and all that stuff that might be your stuff is pushed back down and held back (26:39) at bay. That's why you read the scriptures daily to slay the old you. You have to reckon the old (26:46) man dead on a daily basis. The Bible says in Galatians 2.20, I've been crucified with Christ. (26:52) Nevertheless, I live. Yet it is not I that liveth, but it's Christ that lives in me in the life that (26:57) I now live. I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. You have a new (27:03) life. Second Corinthians chapter five, verse 17 says we're new creations in Christ. The old us (27:10) gone. But if you think you can bring the old you and put a dash hyphen and then staple on Christian, (27:18) you're deceiving yourselves. Galatians chapter six, verse seven says, God will not be mocked. (27:25) Do not be deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man does, that shall he also reap. (27:31) Wow. So no more hyphens, no more hyphens. I'm very, very happy and blessed that the church (27:39) that I have the honor of pastoring, we just teach the Bible. Some people think it's too simple. (27:45) They can't, they don't want it. That's fine. Some people come because we just teach the Bible. (27:53) And when you look across the congregation, like I get to do, especially in Southern California, (27:59) where there's a heavily populated Asian culture, Asian. So there's Japanese, Chinese, (28:07) there's Laotians, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Filipinos. There are those from Thailand. (28:15) They're Taiwanese. They're Koreans, Japanese. You feel they're all here. They all come to church (28:21) here. And in no other situation, would you get all of those different people groups together? (28:28) They will not come together for a Tupperware party. They're not going to come together for (28:32) Amway. They're not going to come together for anything else, but they come together for Jesus. (28:37) And it's beautiful. They serve Christ together. And listen, we do not have a Korean Christian (28:46) greeters ministry. We do not have a white counseling ministry. We do not have a black (29:00) Christian worship team that would do nothing but harm the very heart of Jesus. (29:10) And so I wanted to point this out to you because the other day, I'm wrapping this up right now. (29:14) The other day I was driving, listening to something, I don't know, could have been a (29:20) podcast, probably was, could have been talk radio. I don't know. But I was shocked at how (29:26) many hyphens I was hearing in the conversation. And now we're going now and we're speaking to (29:37) Joe. He is a blank hyphen American. (29:45) So this is a white, first of all, nobody says white American. How come we don't say that? (29:50) We don't even say, I'm a, hi, hi, I was born in California. I am a, I'm a European American. (29:57) But why do we say I'm a black American? Why do we say I am a Korean American? (30:06) Why do we say I am a Norwegian American? We don't say that. (30:14) We join in with Patrick Henry and we say, I'm no longer a Virginian. I'm an American. (30:20) Well, how about we apply that same simple logic to the truth, to the church in our identification? (30:25) What are you? Who are you? I'm a Christian. So I land this by telling you that this morning, (30:35) Lisa and I were watching a, well, first of all, we were reading the newsletter from Voices of (30:41) the Martyrs, VOM. Go to vom.org and support them. Give them your money. They do a great work. We do. (30:51) They're amazing. Learn about the persecuted church in the world. (30:57) And Jesus is everything they have. And so we were reading amazing testimonies, (31:04) and then there was a video and we clicked on that video and there are people who get up in various (31:11) parts of North Africa, for example, various parts of even Southeast Asia, and they literally get (31:21) dressed to go to church. Listen to me, listen to me. If I could grab you by the ears right now. (31:26) Oh, I just lost, just lost Jesus. They literally put their shoes on or their sandals and they put (31:38) on their most colorful clothing that they can wear and they go to church. They have, and they're (31:43) telling you about it. They have no idea if they are going to survive church. While we in America (31:51) and in the West, we lick our finger and test the wind to see if we should go outside to go to church. (31:59) Might be too hot. Might be too cold. It could rain. So we're not going to worship God. (32:05) We're going to stay home. They, it's never a question for them. They get their kids dressed. (32:15) They get themselves dressed Sunday best. They walk. We read, we read today in the magazine, (32:23) because we get, we get the magazine, we support them. Some people walk 20 miles to church one way. (32:31) They go to church in the morning, they walk, they spend their whole day at church, and then they (32:35) walk back before it's dark. And you know what their big concern is? Their big concern is (32:41) being ambushed by Islamicists that have been just hacking Christians to pieces in Rwanda, (32:49) in Nigeria, in various North African countries. Did you know that? And you know, they're going (32:58) to go to church. It's not even a question if they're going to go to church or not. (33:02) And to them, hyphens are insane. They're Christians. They're Christ followers. (33:11) How can you staple anything of the flesh onto that? Friend, listen, we need to examine who (33:17) we really are. Have we gotten sucked into and allow the social media world or our culture (33:27) to get ourselves to label ourselves? It must never be ever said that we are a hyphenated Christian, (33:40) because that's self-deception, and it cannot happen. (33:44) Listen, if this matters to you, I hope that you share this with other people. I know this is a (33:48) strong cup of coffee right now, but it's needed. We'd love to know what your comments are. So give (33:54) us a review. Let us know. Share us with others. But listen, be looking up. Be looking up, because (34:04) just like you can feel right now the change in the seasons, there seems to be a change going on in (34:10) the atmosphere of the spiritual realm. And I pray that you're ready to meet Jesus. Do you believe (34:15) that Jesus Christ is who he said he was? Jesus said of himself that he is the way, the truth, (34:23) and the life, and no one can come to the Father but through me. Do you believe that? Do you believe (34:28) him? Jesus said, if you were to die believing in me, yet shall you live. Jesus said, I'll be crucified, (34:36) but on the third day I'll be resurrected from the dead. The Bible says, repent, believe in the Lord (34:45) Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved. Jesus wants you in his family. He wants you to come and (34:51) experience forgiveness of your sins. He is for real. He's coming back. But in the meantime, (34:59) it is incumbent upon every human on the face of the earth who hears the gospel (35:05) to repent of their sin and to come to Christ Jesus. You're not going to do that (35:12) by becoming a Baptist or Calvary or Lutheran or Methodist or Presbyterian. (35:23) There's none of that stuff in heaven. The only people in heaven are Christians. (35:30) God bless you. Until next time. (35:36) This Jack Hibbs podcast, as well as all the broadcast outreach opportunities, (35:41) are listener supported.
