When Society Grows Dark - Part A | Skip Heitzig

Every culture ebbs and flows as it marches toward extinction. The great Roman Empire, the Mayan civilization, Bronze Age Greece-every complex society in history has eventually collapsed. Daniel was in the midst of the great Babylonian Empire (also extinct today). As a godly and faithful man, he experienced the darkness of an oppressive government. When the foundation of society crumbles, where do you go for solid footing and how should you respond?

I've been a believer since 1984, but had gotten a little lackadaisical with my church attendance. When the Government said we could no longer attend services in person, being the type of person I am, I got off my backside and found a Biblically Based Church Family that refused the stop meeting mandate and I've never felt more at home than I do now. Thanks for your insightful teaching Pastor Skip.

Brilliant sermon!

[@PooleSilly]

I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......yes indeed i enjoy listening to this dear man of God Pastor Skip Heitzig and I much pray God's peace and comfort on him and his family each and everyday and that God uses him and his ministry mightily to much glorify and lift high the king of kings and the lord of lords!!!!!! to God Be All The Glory!!!!! Great Things He Hath Done!!!!!! and all hail king Jesus!!!!! the king of kings and the lord of lords!!!!!! however folks these days are getting darker and Christ is coming soon and if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! it is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!

Thanks for your faithfully sharing. 1 Corinthians 12 gives us the Apostle Paul's revelation given by the risen Christ. We are saved by grace through faith.

[@lisabarbee2880]

I absolutely love Skip's teaching! I do, however, disagree that racism isn't systemic. Its difficult to understand or earnestly speak to something that is not a person's reality or experience. Either way, I believe the Word of God and that He prevails over all situations.

[@Warrior4God2B]

Skip I commend you for being bold and speaking 🗣️ the Truth..... unfortunately Biblical and politics does come at a crossroads and we must put Godly men and women into office that will uphold the Truth of God ...I realize that so many people look to criticize someone over one message and not see the bigger picture of what is unfolding in our time's and knowing the Time's that are taking place due to seducing spirit's....we as Christians need not to criticize and state well this person did this and said that .....etc the person who has not sinned let him first pluck out the thorn first. ....we must stand together bc divided we will Fall

[@300Ted]

Great scripturally emphasized points. The overshadowing problem is too many are unable (or unwilling) to see the teeter-tottering of subversion in partisanism. One figurehead gives the people "Operation Warp Speed"; the next moves in to turn the wrench: now, prepared to sensationally welcome back the self-professing "father of the vaccine": a closed clandestine loop. Identity politics has proven to be powerfully leveraged by the inwardly-unified Darkness under the guises of "right" and "left." Through a retro-futuristic lens, the locked perpetuity of mutual political agitation is a prophetic escalator, yet does not excuse dual-ideological refusal, in linearity, to altogether confront the actors, at least for the sake of authentic "Government." "Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness." ― Luke 11:35

Doesn't the Bible state that we need to respect those put into authority, becomes difficult when you start teaching kids that sometimes it's right to ignore the authority.

So sad to hear Skip putting politics into his sermons. That was one of the reasons I enjoyed his sermons bc he always remained true to biblical texts & left personal & secular opinions at the door. Time to find a new church.

[@jewelpotter6221]

Afraid of the truth, we need to hear this!!!! We are living in the last day's and things are dark and getting darker with evil government turned against God!!!

[@guitarlitoscarrillo8377]

@@jewelpotter6221 Not Afraid of Anything. If God is for me who can be against me. Romans 8:31 I've been walking with Jesus since I was 12 years old and have been reading his word ever since. I'm an Avid Reader of biographies and history. Also I'm well aware of biblical eschatology. Isaiah 5:20 through 21. I'm a truck driver so I hear opinions from the left the right and everything in between all day long on the radio and the internet. What does concern me are people who are like waves on the ocean or a vapor in the Wind. I don't go to church to get somebody's opinion on the political situation in this country. I go to hear God's word to strengthen my spirit and give me hope. But thank you for your concern and may the good graces of the Lord and His blessings be upon you. Amen!

I stating that this Satan will have a person to find a flaw and we expect a perfect Pastor or mentor find a fault and then gone....my gentle reminder is that no one is perfect...and therefore I would recommend it you are looking for another mentor Tiff Shuttleworth is one as well...but there isnt too many great pastor's and we must realize that they too are only human and with everyone trying to be so politically correct....in every word....who am I too judge but it is better to say nothing at all if the above offended you and I wish you well on your journey for that perfect Pastor....but Skip will continue to help me grow in my learning and I am going after the Truth that is behind he persays.....dont let Satan keep you too judgemental in a world so incorrect or corrupt....it is in Biblical prophetic prophecy of our government and what is to come....sorry that you now think that you will no longer listen to his sermon's but to me you wont find many any better ....sorry that you feel this way but thank you for taking the time to be a trucker and deliver the good's to many people....my brother is a trucker as well....im not trying to be a butt but just letting you know as a reminder 🎗️ we I, no one is perfect but JESUS CHRIST

[@Hasbulla2.0]

Then you will have to jump from church to church until you find someone you like but then again they might say something you don’t like and you will have to go to a different church or listen to a different pastor. By the way, the Bible talks about government and politics. Have you read the Bible?

[@guitarlitoscarrillo8377]

@@Hasbulla2.0 of course I read the Bible. If you had read my txt I stated that I've been reading & studying the Word since I was 12yrs old. I even quoted scripture in my txt. As far as government the only reference Jesus made was "Render unto Ceasar what is Caesar's & unto God what is God's." (Matt 20:21) The Old Testament is filled with governing laws but Jesus said "I have come to fulfill the law."(Matt5:17) I might suggest b4 you reply to other people's txts you should search your heart and say a little prayer of discernment. In closing I'll leave you with scripture to look up yourself to receive the blessing of God's breath upon you.(Matt 22:37-39) May Gods blessings be upon you. Amen!🙏😊
