Three Levels of Command
00:02:14

|
| What are the military's three basic levels of command and why is unity of command an important principle? | |
| So I'm just going to jump quickly into the book because I'm almost running out of time. | |
| Yeah, the three levels of command are strategic, operational, and tactical. | |
| And the strategic operation, the strategic level of command would be like the theater commander. | |
| And then the operational level of command would be like the division or even a corps commander. | |
| And then you get down to the tactical level, which you're talking about, a battalion and below. | |
| And the thing is, everywhere you go, you have that same level of command, if you will. | |
| And you need to know which level you're operating at. | |
| And what happens so frequently is you have people that are officially at the strategic level, but they want to be down at the tactical level. | |
| And all they're doing is interfering. | |
| All they're doing is stymying the initiative of their subordinates. | |
| What they need to do is focus on the big picture. | |
| You're up here. | |
| Focus up here, not down here at the tactical level or the operational level. | |
| And then sometimes you got that reversed. | |
| The guys down at the tactical level think they know far more than the generals at the top level and at the strategic level. | |
| And instead of focusing on being good at what they do down here at the very cutting edge of warfare, and you can apply the same thing in the church. | |
| You've got those same levels in the church, in almost every church. | |
| You've got the same levels. | |
| And everybody needs to understand which level they are appointed to and which level they're operating at. | |
| And they need to focus their efforts on doing their job at that level until they are elevated to the next level. | |

The Biggest Lie Out There

|
| Absolutely. | |
| That's excellent. | |
| I want you to order the book and then just read it for yourself. | |
| You point out that the first Gentile to receive the gospel was a centurion. | |
| And that's important, don't you think? | |
| Absolutely. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| First of all, he was a warrior. | |
| He wasn't just a soldier. | |
| He was a warrior. | |
| And I think that we need to recognize that we are all in a spiritual battle. | |
| If we know Jesus Christ is our Savior, we're in a spiritual battle. | |
| And that's not talked about enough. | |
| It's not emphasized. | |
| It's not stressed enough. | |
| And what we need to understand is that we are in a battle every single day, and we cannot let our guard down because you're talking about this whole transgender thing. | |
| If I was Satan and I wanted to get my hooks into this whole nation, I'd say I'll get them to believe a lie and I'll get them to perpetuate that lie. | |
| And what's the biggest lie I could come up with? | |
| Well, I will tell them that if they are born with male genitalia, they don't have to be a man. | |
| They can be whatever they want. | |
| Genitalia doesn't tell you what gender you are. | |
| Well, that's a lie. | |
| That's a lie out of the pits of hell. | |
| That is the biggest lie. | |
| But now, not only are we believing it, but we've got major corporations that are perpetuating that lie. | |
| And you just stop and think about it. | |
| We are fooling ourselves. | |
