10
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.479
Hello and welcome Bill Martinez here. Good to have you.
11
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.159
We are live and we're going to be talking to
12
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.079
my very good friend Carl Galup. It's been a while
13
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.520
since we've had a chance to visit. I miss him
14
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.880
so much. He has been such a dear friend over
15
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.840
the years and just an encouragement. Carl is a former
16
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.240
decorated law enforcement officer, proft's the Expert, critically acclaimed Amazon
17
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.799
Top sixty best selling authors, and senior pastor at Hickory
18
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.159
Hammock Church in Florida. Because he just doesn't have enough
19
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.840
to do, and so God keeps him busy and he's
20
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.040
so helpful to all of us. With his insights. So
21
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:12.799
in fact, I want to go ahead and bring him
22
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.079
on right away to talk about these things that are
23
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.680
happening in our culture. From these mostly peaceful riots in
24
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:22.640
la and you know, we've had a little bit of
25
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.560
things that happened also in Chicago and New York, but
26
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.760
still mostly peaceful, kind of like what happened four years
27
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.120
ago with the Summer of Love, peaceful riots that generated
28
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.840
something like four billion dollars estimated in damage. And of
29
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.640
course also we'll take a look at what's happening in
30
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:46.400
the Middle East and the prophetic implications that we may
31
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.079
be seeing here. And so I'm interested to get Carl
32
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.079
spin on this. Hey Carl, good afternoon. Good to have
33
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:54.319
you with us. How are you, my friend?
34
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.200
Oh Bill, I'm doing great, and it's great to be
35
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.599
back with you. I was beginning to wonder if I
36
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.840
if I would recognize you. I'm kidding, man, listen, thanks,
37
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:10.120
And I'm so glad that I speak starcasm, Otherwise I
38
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.919
would be wondering did we have a summer of these
39
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.840
full protests. I don't mostly if you miss I don't
40
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.479
remember that exactly.
41
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.000
Well, before we go there, I wanted to wish you
42
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.599
again a happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day over the weekend.
43
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.080
And I thought that these numbers unless you think that
44
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.599
fathers don't matter. According to the US Census Bureau, this
45
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.759
is US Department of Health and Human Services Center for
46
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.639
Disease Control and other Agencies, they report that children from
47
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.800
fatherless homes, Karl, are five times more likely to live
48
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.639
in poverty, nine times more likely to drop out of school,
49
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.199
twenty times more likely to go to prison. There's a
50
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.639
higher risk of drug and alcohol abuse, and increase incidence
51
00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.439
of internalized and externalized aggressive behavioral problems. I mean, that's
52
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.960
a mouthful and it'll send you straight to the therapist
53
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.159
just that sentence alone. And also we have a greater
54
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:11.280
chance of runaways and homelessness. And also the other heartbreaking
55
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.800
number is twice as likely to commit suicide. This is
56
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.000
what's happening in the homes where a father is not there, Carl.
57
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.960
And I know you as a former law enforcement officer.
58
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.680
You saw this all firsthand. So these numbers are not
59
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.280
a big surprise to you, are they.
60
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.879
No, they're not. And I was going to say that,
61
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.919
but you just stole my thunder. So how about the
62
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.240
next question. No, I'm kidding. No, No, I was just
63
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.919
going to let your audience know if they didn't. And
64
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.319
I'm not so vain to think they all do. But
65
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.039
I've been the pastor of one church on the Gulf Coast.
66
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.120
I'm in my thirty ninth year there. Prior to that,
67
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.479
I spent ten years in Florida law enforcement, and most
68
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.639
of that was with two different sheriff's offices under three
69
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.199
different sheriffs. So got a lot of experience at the
70
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:59.280
law enforcement level the ministerial pastoral level. Both of those
71
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.039
wind up, you know, dealing with the criminal part of
72
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.919
it as well as picking up the pieces left behind
73
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:10.039
from fatherless homes. And so, No, those statistics don't surprise me,
74
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.199
but they've been around a long time. But it really
75
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.240
is ramping up in so many ways. It's really getting worse.
76
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.160
Well, there's been a cumulative effect that's happened over the
77
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.560
decades as we've discredited fathers and their importance in the household. Carl,
78
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.720
when you and I were growing up, remember father knows best.
79
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.199
And now we've gotten from I remember father knows best.
80
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.240
If father knows Bumpkus.
81
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.240
I know, I remember Andy of Mayberry. They would sit
82
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.920
on the front porch and sing hymns with their songs.
83
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.759
I mean at the end of the show, Andy and Barney.
84
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.439
I mean, you know, be so anyway, No, it's and
85
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.079
I know people laugh at that, say that's so old fashioned.
86
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.600
Well maybe so. But the point is is that most
87
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.720
of those shows would try to present some moral value
88
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.680
or lessen to it, and then a lot of them,
89
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.240
as I I said, I had a little bit of
90
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.879
biblical element to it. Now, of course, we've got a
91
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.879
big nation and a lot of religions or no religion
92
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.360
at all, and our Constitution guarantees all that. So I
93
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.399
get all the arguments about that, but the point is
94
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:20.199
we've gone a long way downhill since then. Forget the
95
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.680
singing of the hymns on the front porch and Father
96
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:27.279
knows best. But the bottom line is, listen, let me
97
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:32.839
just speak dash preach a little bit real quickly. This
98
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:37.240
is very spiritual what we're experiencing, and it's very biblical.
99
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:41.120
And by that I mean the Bible prophesied these kinds
100
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.720
of things after the return of Israel to the land,
101
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.480
and I'm just saying, in those days between the return
102
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.120
of Israel and the eventual coming of the Lord himself,
103
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.560
Now I don't set dates. I'm not one of those guys.
104
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.079
But I'm just saying we're living in the most prophetic
105
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.560
time since the first coming of Jesus Christ. Now watch
106
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.319
the number one cause of death on the planet. You
107
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:06.360
know what it is. It's abortion. Number one eighty to
108
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:13.079
one hundred million children every year are aborted. The top
109
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.600
ten causes of death globally don't even add up. No,
110
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.759
they don't come anywhere near that number. It's horrific. Okay,
111
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.439
now follow me. Now, we don't know what a woman
112
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.839
is anymore. Ask our Supreme Court justice. We don't know
113
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.040
what a man is. We don't know what a marriage is.
114
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.920
We don't even know what a gender is. All of
115
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:40.480
these institutions were ordained by God himself in the garden
116
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.959
of Eden. Now listen, I come from a biblical worldview.
117
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.600
Some of your audience may not. Please hang in here.
118
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.480
We've got a lot of other stuff to talk about.
119
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.519
But I'm just saying from a biblical worldview, none of
120
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.959
this surprises me at all, because God ordained marriage in
121
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.360
the garden of Eden. God ordained gender. In fact, that
122
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.879
Matthew nineteen verse four, Jesus is saying to the Pharisees
123
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.480
and the crowd. Do you not know? Do you not
124
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.319
remember that God created marriage. He brought the man to
125
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:14.759
the woman. He brought that God created them male and female.
126
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.399
There's your gender, and that for that reason the man
127
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.120
would leave his mother and father and cling to his wife.
128
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.759
There's marriage. And let not man mess with this. And
129
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.399
I'm using that word mess, but that's what Jesus said.
130
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:32.040
So look at the leftist agenda. And I'm not talking
131
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.040
politics right now. I'm not talking about Democrats and Republicans.
132
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.560
We've got people with R by their name that are
133
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:39.839
as liberal or more so than some with a D
134
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.519
by their name. I'm talking about the leftist those who
135
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.720
hate America. They hate American ideals, they hate that we
136
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.360
were founded and grounded upon Judeo Christian principles. It's all
137
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:58.199
through our founding documents, including the Declaration of Independence, and yes,
138
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.800
the Constitution of somebody challenges me. I can help them
139
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.079
on that, But the bottom line is this is what
140
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.680
we're looking at. It's very prophetic, it's very biblical. It's
141
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.639
a downward slope of all of these institutions or dained
142
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.720
by God, the womb, the child, everything exactly. But in
143
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:19.279
the Garden of Eden. Here's not started. Then I'm gonna hush.
144
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.759
But in Genesis three point fifteen, when Adam and Eve
145
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:27.120
partook of the sin with Satan, and God stepped into
146
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:31.000
the picture and he doled out his punishment if you
147
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.120
want to say, but they knew it was coming if
148
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.639
they did this. But he said to the man and
149
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.399
the woman their deal. But watch this, But he says
150
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.559
to Satan himself. He says, from the womb of a
151
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.320
woman will come a male child that will destroy you,
152
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.480
crush your head, destroy your kingdom. Satan has been on
153
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.399
a rampage ever since then about the fruit of the womb,
154
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.600
from a child and in the womb of a woman,
155
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.320
because that is Jesus on the cross, the resurrection. That's
156
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:07.200
what is destroying and has ultimately destroyed Satan's kingdom. That's
157
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.720
what this is all about. It is spiritual warfare. We're
158
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.399
watching it acted out all over the world. Thank you
159
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:14.519
for letting me say all that.
160
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.279
Well, that's great. Well, I want to go back. I
161
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.360
love because you and I've talked about this. Some of
162
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.960
my most favorite sayings in the Bible starts at the
163
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.919
beginning in Genesis. In the beginning. God, I take people
164
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.039
to that all the time. That's that's our pivot point.
165
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.519
That's where we start in the beginning God. Now you
166
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:34.279
talk about how God had ordained marriage. What I love
167
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.519
about is how he punctuated it. Carl. He said, Wow,
168
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.080
this is really good. He says, very good. Right, I mean,
169
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:44.200
everything's good throughout the creation process, but marriage He goes, ooh,
170
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:48.639
this is really good. And and of course you know
171
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.960
you got Adam. When he's presented with Eve, he in
172
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.440
essence says the same thing, right. He says, I like it.
173
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.080
I like it.
174
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.000
Yeah. Yeah. He looks at Eve and he says, whoa.
175
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.840
Oh man, that's where we get the word woman from.
176
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.080
Woe man. No, I'm kidding. I'm trying to be corny.
177
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.919
That's a dad's joke. Forgive me. It's Father's Day or
178
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.039
the day after. But anyway, No, you're right. God looked
179
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.720
at it all, including marriage, which was kind of the crowning,
180
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:23.360
you know, impact upon that whole creation event, and he said, behold,
181
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.240
this is good, very good.
182
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:30.159
And everything was all set in order according to God Almighty,
183
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:34.960
not the Communists, not the Republican Party, not Donald Trump,
184
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.279
God Almighty himself put everything in perfect order, and then
185
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.639
we messed up. Adam and Eve decided they knew better
186
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.679
than God and they wanted to listen to the outside influence.
187
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.120
Go ahead, right, No, No, I didn't mean to interrupt.
188
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.759
I'm sorry. I thought you were finished. But no, I
189
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.840
agree with you completely. And one thing I want to
190
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.919
remind your audience it might help them. I say this
191
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.679
probably every other Sunday, and one way or the other
192
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:03.799
in I message, and I take certain principles that are
193
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.840
just eternal, and I repeat them often and sometimes I
194
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.240
put them into cute little formats so that people can
195
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.759
kind of remember them. But one of the things that
196
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.000
I say that I think will help your audience, especially
197
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.559
as we watch Iran tacking. That's Persia, by the way,
198
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.480
attacking the return to Israel. As we're watching all the
199
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.519
insurrection and riots. Now, look at this Israel, the nation
200
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.080
that God used to bring the Word of God, the
201
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.840
prophet of God, the prophecies of God, the Messiah of God,
202
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.759
the salvation event, the resurrection event, and the birth of
203
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.519
the Church event, and the giving of the Holy Spirit
204
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.919
of God event. That all came through Israel. That all
205
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.200
came through the people that God chose doesn't mean because
206
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.639
God chose them that they're perfect and they can do
207
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.120
no wrong. No, they live in the same sinful world
208
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:53.960
we do. But He chose them to do all of
209
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.799
that to provide for your salvation and my salvation. And
210
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:03.639
neither one of us are Jewish, and so so the.
211
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.559
But we are, though, Carl, our roots, our roots are
212
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.639
found in Judaism. I know some well I'm not Jewish. Well,
213
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:14.279
actually we are. I mean, if you believe in the Messiah,
214
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.639
I mean all that leads up to the Messiah that
215
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.360
the Jews decided. They're just not there yet, but they
216
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.159
will be eventually. We took it to the next chapter,
217
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.039
you know, and we get the New Testament. Anyway, I
218
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.320
wanted to I want to add this to what you
219
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.799
were saying. Okay, go ahead and finish your thought and
220
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:31.200
then I'll know.
221
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.159
No, I was just gonna say, yeah, I was. I
222
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.679
had all that going through my mind, but I thought, well,
223
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.080
they don't want to hear me preach for forty five minutes. So,
224
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.200
but the Bible actually says that all of us who
225
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.080
are believers in your Shua of the Hebrew word for Jesus,
226
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:48.480
we are children of Abraham. We are grafted in, Paul
227
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.679
says in Romans eleven, to the vine, to the branch,
228
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:55.399
to the olive tree, which is Israel. And ultimately Jesus
229
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.639
Christ himself gentiles Jews together, Paul says, and Ephesians too
230
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.639
become the one new Man. So yeah, in that sense,
231
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:05.559
we can say we are all Israel if we are
232
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.039
in Jesus Christ. Which watch this talking about all the
233
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:14.080
downward think about the denominations now the whole denomination. And
234
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:18.159
then a lot of independent pulpits hate the Jews. They're
235
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.639
trashing Israel. I mean, it's like, how can you say
236
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.440
that you're a born again believer, that you stand on
237
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.360
the word of God, and you say we hate the Jews,
238
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:32.480
we hate Israel when fifty times from Deuteronomy to Zachariah,
239
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.960
the Old Testament prophesies the return of Israel in the
240
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.360
last days, and it says God says, I'm doing this
241
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.519
to show the world that I alone am God, and
242
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.159
that you will note that it's getting very close and
243
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.759
very soon. So this is why I started by saying,
