Decoding ESG: Environment, Social, Governance 0:10 Well, welcome to chapter 47 of reversed from culturally woke to biblically awake. Well, big brother is watching you. That's the message of chapter0:22 47, social credit scores and ESG. We didn't even hear of ESG till recent recent years. And social credit scores, well, they haven't0:34 been around very long, at least that we knew of. But Big Brother is truly watching you and has a scoring system to know whether you're allowed to do what you do or not. Does it sound like Revelation chapter 13?0:46 Absolutely. It certainly does. Big brother is watching you. Every move you make in China and country after country, the cameras, the electronic surveillance is getting enormous.0:58 And so much so, the pressure's on you if you are out of line with what the government says. You can be doxxed. You can be shamed. There's an electronic footprint, everything you do. Even in my home, I get a notification.1:10 Here's how much electricity you use. Here's how much your neighbors use. You didn't do very good. You used too much this month. Here's how much gas you used. How much water you used. Here's the equivalent of the amount1:20 of water you use, all being electronically monitored. And with a cashless society, every purchase you make is monitored, knows exactly where it's going. And it's all1:32 for the greater good, you know. The greater good determined by whom? Them. What what is ESG? What does that stand for? If you have your book reversed,1:44 go to the top of page 3 85. Here's ESG. Factors for environment, that's e, include a commitment to addressing climate change and environmental sustainability.1:57 S, social. Factors range from a commitment to human rights, including abortion rights, workplace gender and diversity inclusion, privacy protection,2:09 safety, health, and servicing of the underprivileged social groups, and even chain accountability, who supplies them. G, governance. ESG. Governance covers a wide range of2:21 topics that can include corporate behavior, political donations, board diversity, very cool, very important what that 1 means, and even lobbying efforts. SoThe Real Issue: Control and Conformance 2:33 ESG, companies are rated in accordance with their commitment to environment, social, and governance, ESG. Now let me translate what that really2:44 means. All these companies that are following ESG, being pushed upon them by others. Here's the real meaning. E, you better buy into the present day environmental2:56 religion of climate change. S, you better be socially woke and make donations to BLM or some other charity with a DEI agenda. G,3:08 you better pursue appropriate governance and have some black or native American lesbians on your governing board. That's what it really translates to. It's a demand for conformance.3:20 It's a coercive demand for conformance. You had better do what we say, and the way we do at ESG is a power grab by the government and by big business.3:31 88 percent of publicly traded companies have been following ESG principles. 67 percent of privately owned comp companies do. And when certain companies get3:43 exposed, they're following ESG and people don't like it, then what they do oftentimes is to change the name from ESG. They'll change it to something else but continues doing the same3:55 thing. For example, when the Trump administration said colleges, you can't have DEI offices anymore. So they just renamed them and went with something else. Some of that's happening with with, ESG as4:07 well. What's the real issue? The real issue is control. The real issue is the forced compliance. Now they make it sound so good until you look at Proverbs 184:18 17, and you begin to question things. Proverbs 18 17 says, it seems right until someone comes along and questions them. You question and challenge ESG, and you'll find that4:30 there's an alternative view to ESG. And it's not like it's a biblical view. The Old Testament prophets, they would have got in trouble because they wouldn't have been quiet. And they'rePrayer Against Surveillance and False Ideologies 4:42 counter to these kind of principles. Biblical views run counter to most of the essence of what ESG is all about. What do we do in the culture in which we find ourselves?4:55 Become aware of it like you're doing right now. Become aware. Know precisely what ESG stands for. Become aware of what companies use ESG or the equivalent5:07 probe to the best you can. And this part's hard. Try not to utilize the corporations use that. Now that gets much more difficult, much more complex. Pray that the yoke5:19 of ESG be broken off of our nations or whatever clovens they replace it with. And then be persistent. Stand against it. Speak out against it. Luke chapter 18, like the5:31 persistence of the woman who stood against a a judge that was unfair. She wouldn't give in on it. Don't give in on this. Stand firm in the midst of this governmental coercion5:43 and conformity, and even parts of big Venice big business that try to force it upon us. Well, we're moving from being culturally woke to biblically awake.Closing and Call to Biblical Awakening 5:55 Now let us pray. Father, we repent for allowing government to be our God, to enslave us to its surveillances in in order to control us and to6:07 eliminate you from our lives. Give us a desire to know your words so that your ways become our ways. May we walk in your paths of holiness and6:18 righteousness in freedom and joy in Jesus' name. And we bind and rebuke all false ideologies, and we repent for being seduced to serve them,6:30 father. Deliver us from the evil 1, and give us your wisdom, your truth, your knowledge. In Jesus' name, amen.6:42 We hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching. Don't forget to check out this discussion questions that are attached.
