WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.600
 It is a pleasure to be here.

00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:06.000
 It's a pleasure for me to work with Pickens First Baptist

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.240
 and the other 28 churches of our association

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.040
 as we spread the gospel of Jesus Christ,

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:15.700
 not only locally, but throughout the state and around the world.

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:21.740
 So I thank you for your part in sharing through prayer

00:00:21.740 --> 00:00:26.660
 and through ministry and through the finances of our association

00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:31.260
 as we partner together to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:00:31.899 --> 00:00:34.500
 Now, I want to take just a couple of minutes

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:39.420
 to share two or three of the things that we are doing right now

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:41.740
 as an association that you're a part of,

00:00:41.740 --> 00:00:45.219
 and I just want to share with you a little more detail about it

00:00:45.219 --> 00:00:50.060
 so that you can pray more specifically for what we are doing.

00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:54.659
 The first thing I want to share with you is our multi-residential ministries.

00:00:54.659 --> 00:01:00.079
 That is through apartment communities and senior adult living communities.

00:01:00.839 --> 00:01:04.759
 Currently, we have ministries where we have been invited

00:01:04.759 --> 00:01:10.319
 into eight apartment communities in the Pickens-Clemson area

00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:14.679
 that we can go and do Bible clubs, Bible studies,

00:01:15.199 --> 00:01:20.259
 share through other ways the love of God with the residents there.

00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:25.859
 And one of those, Pickens Gardens, we have a weekly Bible study

00:01:25.859 --> 00:01:30.460
 and a church that is doing a Bible school there throughout the summer.

00:01:31.540 --> 00:01:35.960
 Our heart for schools is another tremendous ministry,

00:01:36.700 --> 00:01:39.240
 and I'd like to share the numbers there.

00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:44.260
 We have 15 churches that are ministering in 10 schools.

00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:49.420
 The schools are in the geographical area of our association.

00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:57.300
 That's Clemson, Pickens, and the metropolitan areas of Dacosville, Pumpkin Town, and Six Mile.

00:01:59.300 --> 00:02:08.099
 So in those schools, we have roughly 7,000 faculty, staff, and students.

00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:15.219
 You multiply the spouses, parents, or children,

00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.479
 and we estimate that through those 10 schools

00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.840
 that our association is ministering to roughly 20,000 people

00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.099
 through our heart for schools.

00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:26.639
 So I thank you for that.

00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:32.699
 Very important ministry as we reach out in the public schools of our school district

00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:34.539
 to share the gospel of Jesus Christ

00:02:34.539 --> 00:02:41.359
 and the influence and the love that we can have on those faculty, staff, and students.

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:45.099
 Also, our senior adult living communities.

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.759
 We have worship services that we're doing in three.

00:02:49.819 --> 00:02:54.359
 Dominion, Clemson Downs, and Heritage of Clemson.

00:02:54.839 --> 00:02:57.120
 Now, these are senior adult living communities

00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:58.899
 where it's very independent living,

00:02:58.900 --> 00:03:01.620
 and we are very blessed to be in there.

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.840
 And we are beginning the one in Clemson Downs

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.840
 within the next several weeks.

00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:11.540
 But in the other two, we're up and going.

00:03:12.379 --> 00:03:15.640
 And Fred Sanford, who I believe is a member here,

00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:17.719
 does the one as Fred here.

00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:19.060
 Oh, there he sits.

00:03:19.340 --> 00:03:19.480
 Okay.

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.540
 Fred is doing the one at Dominion,

00:03:22.819 --> 00:03:25.439
 and I'm doing the one at Clemson Heritage.

00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.439
 And we'll be starting one, Terry Parrish.

00:03:29.579 --> 00:03:33.919
 We'll be doing that one at Clemson Downs.

00:03:35.060 --> 00:03:36.060
 I share all of that.

00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:38.500
 Between those, we average somewhere,

00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:40.180
 it depends week to week,

00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:46.120
 but, you know, 12, 15, to 16 people a week

00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.659
 in each of those as we have our Bible studies.

00:03:49.020 --> 00:03:50.659
 Pray for those missions and ministries

00:03:50.659 --> 00:03:51.819
 as we're reaching out.

00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:53.560
 As you're a part of that,

00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.579
 through the Pickens 12 Mile Association,

00:03:55.959 --> 00:03:57.879
 reaching out into our community,

00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.840
 sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:03.680
 So thank you so much for your partnership,

00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.439
 your prayers, and for your support.

00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:07.879
 All right.

00:04:07.979 --> 00:04:09.060
 Let's take our Bibles.

00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.439
 Brian said I had two minutes this morning.

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.459
 I love that guy.

00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:16.180
 I'm just trying to figure out why.

00:04:16.180 --> 00:04:19.819
 So take your Bibles,

00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.319
 open to Ephesians chapter 5,

00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:24.199
 verses 15 through 20.

00:04:24.900 --> 00:04:25.959
 Since my time is up,

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.259
 when you get home, read that.

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:28.379
 How about that?

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:29.780
 I'm done.

00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:30.199
 I'm through.

00:04:30.819 --> 00:04:32.000
 My two minutes is up.

00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:35.160
 We're going to be looking at Ephesians chapter 5 this morning,

00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:37.100
 those verses 15 through 20.

00:04:37.579 --> 00:04:39.259
 And the title, if you will,

00:04:39.340 --> 00:04:41.199
 the theme for the message this morning,

00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.819
 what I want us to focus on in our time together,

00:04:44.819 --> 00:04:50.639
 is living as Christian in an ungodly world.

00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.240
 The apostle is writing to the church in Ephesus.

00:04:57.019 --> 00:05:00.139
 And this is exactly what he is encouraging them to do.

00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:06.079
 He is encouraging them because they are living as Gentile Christians

00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.300
 in a Gentile world.

00:05:09.019 --> 00:05:13.579
 It is a world that is not made up of a predominance of people

00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:17.120
 who believe as those Christians believe.

00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:20.399
 And so they are living in a world,

00:05:20.539 --> 00:05:21.240
 in a culture,

00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:22.199
 in a community,

00:05:22.899 --> 00:05:23.879
 in families,

00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.120
 in which they have come to Christ,

00:05:27.459 --> 00:05:29.539
 but the majority of their friends,

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:30.399
 neighbors,

00:05:30.699 --> 00:05:31.419
 acquaintances,

00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:34.180
 and perhaps even family members

00:05:34.180 --> 00:05:37.019
 do not believe as they believe.

00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:40.259
 If you turn back to chapter 4,

00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:42.219
 verse 17,

00:05:42.719 --> 00:05:46.079
 and this is where Paul begins this discourse

00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.180
 that goes through chapter 5,

00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:49.839
 but in chapter 4,

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.319
 verse 17,

00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:53.299
 he encourages them,

00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:53.659
 he says,

00:05:53.779 --> 00:05:54.699
 Say I therefore,

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.879
 and testify in the Lord,

00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.680
 that ye henceforth walk not

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.319
 as other Gentiles walk,

00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.419
 in the vanity of their mind.

00:06:07.799 --> 00:06:11.000
 Let's take just a moment to develop that verse

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.259
 before we read chapter 5,

00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:14.680
 verse 15 through 20.

00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.899
 When the apostle Paul tells them

00:06:17.899 --> 00:06:19.919
 that their friends and their neighbors

00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:22.060
 are living in vanity,

00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:24.899
 he is telling them

00:06:24.899 --> 00:06:26.859
 that in the lives they are living,

00:06:27.219 --> 00:06:29.139
 no matter how productive

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:31.299
 they may think they are,

00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:35.419
 how successful they may seem to appear,

00:06:35.420 --> 00:06:38.900
 that they are living a life of vanity

00:06:38.900 --> 00:06:41.180
 or of uselessness.

00:06:43.340 --> 00:06:44.020
 Uselessness.

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:49.480
 If you take everything in your life

00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.200
 and you couple it together

00:06:52.200 --> 00:06:57.000
 and you're told that everything in your life

00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:57.819
 is useless,

00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.019
 then what is it that will make

00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:03.160
 your life useful?

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:06.800
 This is where the apostle

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.459
 is going to go in a few moments.

00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.040
 Their life is useless

00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.939
 not because they're not doing good things.

00:07:15.939 --> 00:07:20.959
 It's not because they are not caring

00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.399
 about others perhaps,

00:07:23.860 --> 00:07:26.139
 but their life is useless

00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:30.399
 because it is a life without Christ.

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:32.899
 And dear friends,

00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.519
 what I want us to grasp this morning

00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.579
 in our few moments that we have together

00:07:37.579 --> 00:07:38.500
 is simply this,

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:40.920
 that for life to have meaning

00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.759
 and purpose and usefulness,

00:07:44.020 --> 00:07:45.759
 it must be a life

00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.240
 that is in Christ.

00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:54.220
 That He must be the Lord of our life.

00:07:54.939 --> 00:07:57.780
 He must be our Savior.

00:07:58.300 --> 00:08:00.759
 Now I want to paint a picture very quickly

00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.180
 before we delve in any deeper.

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.240
 You see, there are two types of Christians

00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:08.420
 in this world.

00:08:08.420 --> 00:08:11.900
 There are the spiritual Christians

00:08:11.900 --> 00:08:16.140
 and there are the carnal Christians.

00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:17.780
 Let me explain.

00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:19.280
 First of all,

00:08:19.460 --> 00:08:22.240
 both have Christ in their life.

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.040
 Now as I share this this morning,

00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:26.460
 the first question

00:08:26.460 --> 00:08:28.180
 that you must wrestle with,

00:08:28.460 --> 00:08:29.920
 that you must answer

00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:30.939
 is simply this,

00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:34.399
 is Christ in my life?

00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.639
 Do I know Christ as my Savior

00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.199
 and as my Lord?

00:08:39.199 --> 00:08:41.080
 Have I asked Him

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.120
 to forgive me of my sin,

00:08:43.439 --> 00:08:44.580
 to cleanse me

00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:46.919
 of all of my unrighteousness

00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:48.919
 and to live in my heart?

00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:51.679
 Have I given Him

00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.039
 the free sway of my heart

00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.799
 and lordship of my life?

00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.199
 The second question

00:09:01.199 --> 00:09:03.519
 that you must answer this morning

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.799
 is are you a carnal Christian

00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.159
 or a spiritual Christian?

00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:11.899
 A carnal Christian

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:13.319
 is the one that has Christ

00:09:13.319 --> 00:09:14.519
 in their life,

00:09:14.699 --> 00:09:17.360
 but He is not the Lord

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:18.960
 of their life.

00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.000
 Instead of the blessed assurance

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.679
 of salvation,

00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:25.879
 salvation to you

00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.159
 is simply insurance.

00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:32.819
 You're hoping to ensure yourself

00:09:32.819 --> 00:09:35.459
 that when you stand before God

00:09:35.459 --> 00:09:37.819
 that you will be allowed

00:09:37.819 --> 00:09:39.019
 into heaven.

00:09:41.079 --> 00:09:43.159
 But you're not giving God

00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.079
 or Christ

00:09:44.079 --> 00:09:46.299
 the lordship of your life

00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:47.740
 day by day.

00:09:48.719 --> 00:09:50.579
 You're not waking up

00:09:50.579 --> 00:09:51.379
 every morning

00:09:51.379 --> 00:09:52.179
 and asking,

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:52.799
 you know,

00:09:52.860 --> 00:09:54.839
 asking in that time of prayer

00:09:54.839 --> 00:09:56.779
 or meditation with God,

00:09:56.779 --> 00:09:57.639
 God,

00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:59.399
 what is your plan?

00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:00.959
 What is your direction

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:02.480
 for me today?

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:06.600
 And you're not honestly

00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.079
 closing the day

00:10:08.079 --> 00:10:10.000
 by going before God

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:10.439
 and saying,

00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:10.959
 God,

00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:13.459
 have I faithfully accomplished

00:10:13.459 --> 00:10:15.500
 the task for today

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:17.039
 that you gave me

00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:18.039
 for this day?

00:10:20.139 --> 00:10:22.939
 Has my life honored you

00:10:22.939 --> 00:10:24.379
 to the nth degree?

00:10:24.379 --> 00:10:27.779
 Did I do all

00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:29.139
 that you presented

00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:30.059
 the opportunity

00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:31.480
 for me to do?

00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.100
 You see,

00:10:32.179 --> 00:10:34.259
 to be the Spirit-filled Christian,

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.779
 Christ must be

00:10:36.779 --> 00:10:38.179
 on the throne

00:10:38.179 --> 00:10:39.659
 of your life.

00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:42.159
 Not just in the sphere

00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:43.080
 of your life,

00:10:43.220 --> 00:10:44.220
 but in the center

00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:45.620
 of your life.

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.200
 And you seek

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:48.940
 to live for Him

00:10:48.940 --> 00:10:50.379
 every day.

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:51.019
 day.

00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:53.659
 Paul is addressing

00:10:53.659 --> 00:10:56.379
 the believers

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:58.379
 then in chapter 5,

00:10:59.299 --> 00:11:01.879
 verses 15 through 20,

00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:04.039
 after he has said to them,

00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:05.639
 beginning the discourse,

00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.679
 that others have a life

00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:09.840
 of vanity,

00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:11.379
 uselessness.

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:15.100
 So you have your Bibles

00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:15.960
 open now.

00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:17.059
 Perhaps I've taken

00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:18.159
 so long with introduction,

00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:19.579
 you've closed your Bibles,

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:20.839
 but you may open them

00:11:20.839 --> 00:11:22.879
 back to Galatians chapter 5.

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:23.679
 We're going to read

00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.500
 verses 15 through 20.

00:11:28.179 --> 00:11:29.059
 See then,

00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:29.620
 he's closing,

00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:29.959
 he says,

00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:30.980
 so see then

00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:32.939
 that you walk

00:11:32.939 --> 00:11:34.439
 circumspectly,

00:11:35.079 --> 00:11:36.240
 not as fools,

00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:37.799
 but as wise people,

00:11:38.819 --> 00:11:40.219
 redeeming the time

00:11:40.219 --> 00:11:42.059
 because the days

00:11:42.059 --> 00:11:43.059
 are evil.

00:11:43.059 --> 00:11:45.219
 wherefore,

00:11:45.219 --> 00:11:48.379
 be ye not unwise,

00:11:48.739 --> 00:11:49.779
 but understanding

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:51.539
 what the will

00:11:51.539 --> 00:11:52.459
 of the Lord

00:11:52.459 --> 00:11:53.539
 is.

00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:56.559
 And be not drunk

00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:57.419
 with wine

00:11:57.419 --> 00:11:59.339
 wherein is excess,

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:01.359
 but be filled

00:12:01.359 --> 00:12:02.579
 with the Spirit,

00:12:03.739 --> 00:12:05.199
 speaking to yourselves

00:12:05.199 --> 00:12:06.299
 in psalms

00:12:06.299 --> 00:12:07.259
 and hymns

00:12:07.259 --> 00:12:09.000
 and spiritual songs,

00:12:09.419 --> 00:12:09.839
 singing

00:12:09.839 --> 00:12:11.579
 and making melody

00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:12.560
 in your heart

00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:13.780
 unto the Lord.

00:12:15.660 --> 00:12:16.580
 Giving thanks

00:12:16.580 --> 00:12:17.340
 always

00:12:17.340 --> 00:12:19.000
 for all things

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:19.820
 unto God

00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:21.280
 and the Father

00:12:21.280 --> 00:12:22.660
 in the name

00:12:22.660 --> 00:12:23.660
 of our Lord

00:12:23.660 --> 00:12:25.980
 Jesus Christ.

00:12:27.980 --> 00:12:28.759
 As Paul

00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:29.700
 is addressing

00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:32.680
 the believers here,

00:12:33.180 --> 00:12:34.040
 he is asking,

00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:35.200
 identifying for them

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.300
 how we should live

00:12:37.300 --> 00:12:38.920
 our lives.

00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:40.199
 first,

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:41.740
 first,

00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:42.679
 he says,

00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:43.839
 walk

00:12:43.839 --> 00:12:45.719
 circumspectly.

00:12:46.719 --> 00:12:47.799
 That means

00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:48.620
 careful

00:12:48.620 --> 00:12:50.199
 to consider

00:12:50.199 --> 00:12:51.299
 all

00:12:51.299 --> 00:12:52.740
 circumstances.

00:12:54.899 --> 00:12:55.620
 A Christian

00:12:55.620 --> 00:12:56.500
 is not to live

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:57.000
 a life

00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:57.799
 that's just sort of

00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:58.479
 willy-nilly

00:12:58.479 --> 00:12:59.199
 free

00:12:59.199 --> 00:13:00.019
 and to be blown

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:00.679
 in the wind

00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:01.639
 as long as it's

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:02.360
 the wind

00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:03.099
 of the Spirit.

00:13:03.699 --> 00:13:04.139
 Christians

00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:05.039
 are commanded

00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:05.419
 here,

00:13:05.719 --> 00:13:06.439
 are encouraged

00:13:06.439 --> 00:13:07.259
 here by Paul

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:08.500
 to live lives

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:09.139
 that take

00:13:09.139 --> 00:13:10.259
 into consideration

00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:12.319
 everything around them.

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:14.799
 Now,

00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:15.439
 we can spend

00:13:15.439 --> 00:13:16.720
 the majority

00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:17.340
 of our time

00:13:17.340 --> 00:13:18.080
 this morning

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:19.860
 just laying out

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:20.319
 for you

00:13:20.319 --> 00:13:21.039
 the things

00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:22.039
 of this world

00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:23.480
 that we experience.

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:24.299
 But I'm going

00:13:24.299 --> 00:13:25.019
 to let you

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:27.279
 just in a few seconds

00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:28.379
 let that race

00:13:28.379 --> 00:13:29.419
 through your mind.

00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:30.679
 The life

00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:31.580
 in which you live,

00:13:31.659 --> 00:13:32.259
 the places

00:13:32.259 --> 00:13:33.080
 where you work,

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:33.860
 where you go

00:13:33.860 --> 00:13:34.620
 to school,

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.220
 where you hang out,

00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:37.200
 where you shop,

00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:38.460
 all of those things.

00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:39.320
 I'm going

00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:40.120
 to let you

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:41.040
 just identify

00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:42.180
 those things

00:13:42.180 --> 00:13:42.860
 that are a part

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:43.460
 of life

00:13:43.460 --> 00:13:44.940
 that you experience

00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:46.200
 and be careful

00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:47.440
 to consider

00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.100
 all of the

00:13:49.100 --> 00:13:49.899
 circumstances.

00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:54.259
 And he says

00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:55.440
 when you do that

00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:56.120
 walk

00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.960
 understandingly

00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:01.259
 and make

00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:02.600
 the best

00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.080
 of your time.

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.660
 one of the things

00:14:07.660 --> 00:14:08.860
 that I am

00:14:08.860 --> 00:14:09.520
 almost

00:14:09.520 --> 00:14:10.900
 I'm to the point

00:14:10.900 --> 00:14:11.400
 that I

00:14:11.400 --> 00:14:12.740
 I don't

00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:14.300
 hate myself

00:14:14.300 --> 00:14:14.820
 but I just

00:14:14.820 --> 00:14:16.300
 I am such

00:14:16.300 --> 00:14:16.840
 a

00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.460
 meticulous.

00:14:18.620 --> 00:14:19.540
 I prepare

00:14:19.540 --> 00:14:20.240
 my days.

00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:21.200
 One of the last

00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:21.960
 things I do

00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:23.100
 every evening

00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:24.340
 is sit down

00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:25.280
 look over

00:14:25.280 --> 00:14:26.160
 my calendar

00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:27.520
 and make sure

00:14:27.520 --> 00:14:28.660
 that I've got

00:14:28.660 --> 00:14:29.540
 the next day

00:14:29.540 --> 00:14:30.740
 just lined out

00:14:30.740 --> 00:14:31.259
 where to be

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:31.900
 what to do

00:14:31.900 --> 00:14:32.560
 when to do it

00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:33.699
 how to do it

00:14:33.699 --> 00:14:35.279
 excuse me

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:35.939
 and all of those

00:14:35.939 --> 00:14:36.259
 things

00:14:36.259 --> 00:14:36.819
 it's one of the

00:14:36.819 --> 00:14:37.219
 last things

00:14:37.219 --> 00:14:37.899
 I do every day

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:38.859
 and then the

00:14:38.859 --> 00:14:39.519
 first thing I do

00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:40.039
 in the morning

00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:40.779
 is I get up

00:14:40.779 --> 00:14:41.859
 and I get a phone

00:14:41.859 --> 00:14:42.899
 call or a message

00:14:42.899 --> 00:14:43.559
 and I go

00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:44.039
 oh my

00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:44.500
 now I've got to

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.439
 change the whole day.

00:14:48.719 --> 00:14:49.619
 Sometimes I can be

00:14:49.619 --> 00:14:50.519
 that meticulous

00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:51.539
 sometimes I can be

00:14:51.539 --> 00:14:52.719
 that structured

00:14:52.719 --> 00:14:54.799
 but what I have

00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:55.539
 to understand

00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:57.459
 is that what

00:14:57.459 --> 00:14:57.839
 God

00:14:57.839 --> 00:14:59.000
 what I think

00:14:59.000 --> 00:14:59.879
 and what God

00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:00.419
 says

00:15:00.419 --> 00:15:02.079
 may not always

00:15:02.079 --> 00:15:03.399
 click together.

00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:05.240
 So I have to

00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:05.879
 understand

00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:06.919
 how to make

00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:08.019
 the best use

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:09.039
 of the time

00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:10.099
 that God

00:15:10.099 --> 00:15:11.539
 has given me

00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:12.479
 understanding

00:15:12.479 --> 00:15:13.379
 that I am to

00:15:13.379 --> 00:15:13.939
 use it

00:15:13.939 --> 00:15:14.659
 to honor

00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:16.039
 and glorify Him.

00:15:16.819 --> 00:15:17.379
 So this is what

00:15:17.379 --> 00:15:18.219
 Paul is telling

00:15:18.219 --> 00:15:19.039
 the believers

00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:20.120
 this is what he is

00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:20.599
 telling them

00:15:20.599 --> 00:15:21.199
 that are living

00:15:21.199 --> 00:15:22.199
 in communities

00:15:22.199 --> 00:15:23.459
 and in an

00:15:23.459 --> 00:15:24.699
 ungodly world

00:15:24.699 --> 00:15:25.759
 he is saying

00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:26.299
 to them

00:15:26.299 --> 00:15:27.000
 redeem

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.139
 your

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:29.199
 time

00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.040
 it is like

00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:32.520
 this

00:15:32.520 --> 00:15:37.180
 we love

00:15:37.180 --> 00:15:38.040
 to sit down

00:15:38.040 --> 00:15:38.960
 and talk

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:39.460
 about

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:40.879
 what is wrong

00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.160
 with the world

00:15:42.160 --> 00:15:43.759
 we do

00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.020
 it is rotten

00:15:46.020 --> 00:15:46.840
 to the core

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:48.780
 we love

00:15:48.780 --> 00:15:49.220
 to talk

00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:49.879
 about it

00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.060
 we enjoy

00:15:52.060 --> 00:15:52.800
 talking about

00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:53.500
 what others

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:54.040
 are doing

00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:54.960
 that we would

00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:55.680
 never do

00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:56.740
 that we do

00:15:56.740 --> 00:15:57.660
 not believe in

00:15:57.659 --> 00:15:58.819
 that what

00:15:58.819 --> 00:15:59.299
 they are doing

00:15:59.299 --> 00:16:00.100
 and instead

00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:00.620
 of doing that

00:16:00.620 --> 00:16:00.860
 listen

00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:01.500
 because here is

00:16:01.500 --> 00:16:01.759
 what we are

00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:02.360
 doing according

00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:02.839
 to the scripture

00:16:02.839 --> 00:16:03.500
 we are wasting

00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:04.179
 our time

00:16:04.179 --> 00:16:04.959
 because the

00:16:04.959 --> 00:16:05.779
 Bible tells

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:06.399
 us that there

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:07.360
 will always

00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.039
 be evil

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:08.600
 days

00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:09.719
 but evil

00:16:09.719 --> 00:16:10.480
 days

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:11.339
 create

00:16:11.339 --> 00:16:12.620
 opportunities

00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:13.879
 not

00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:14.959
 obstacles

00:16:14.959 --> 00:16:17.740
 that excites

00:16:17.740 --> 00:16:18.120
 me

00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:20.120
 that excites

00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:20.480
 me

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.839
 let me tell you

00:16:21.839 --> 00:16:22.120
 a little bit

00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:22.779
 about Hartford

00:16:22.779 --> 00:16:23.120
 schools

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:23.799
 why I am so

00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:25.019
 passionate

00:16:25.019 --> 00:16:25.679
 about it

00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:27.279
 when one

00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:27.519
 of my

00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:27.939
 children

00:16:27.939 --> 00:16:28.519
 was in

00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:29.319
 middle school

00:16:29.319 --> 00:16:30.319
 at a middle

00:16:30.319 --> 00:16:30.779
 school here

00:16:30.779 --> 00:16:31.199
 in Pickens

00:16:31.199 --> 00:16:31.620
 County

00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:33.799
 I was asked

00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:34.479
 by the principal

00:16:34.479 --> 00:16:35.359
 of that school

00:16:35.359 --> 00:16:36.079
 to develop

00:16:36.079 --> 00:16:36.879
 a chaplaincy

00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:37.679
 program for the

00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:38.219
 middle school

00:16:38.219 --> 00:16:39.419
 and so a group

00:16:39.419 --> 00:16:39.979
 of pastors

00:16:39.979 --> 00:16:40.899
 we worked on it

00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:41.659
 for some time

00:16:41.659 --> 00:16:42.419
 then I was

00:16:42.419 --> 00:16:43.239
 invited to come

00:16:43.239 --> 00:16:43.959
 to a meeting

00:16:43.959 --> 00:16:44.519
 at the school

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:45.219
 to present it

00:16:45.219 --> 00:16:46.019
 to some parents

00:16:46.019 --> 00:16:47.579
 and hopefully

00:16:47.579 --> 00:16:48.219
 we would get

00:16:48.219 --> 00:16:49.579
 it instituted

00:16:49.579 --> 00:16:50.259
 in the school

00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:52.959
 when I share it

00:16:52.959 --> 00:16:54.059
 as soon as I finish

00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:55.239
 there's a lady

00:16:55.239 --> 00:16:55.639
 at the other

00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:56.079
 end of the

00:16:56.079 --> 00:16:56.500
 table

00:16:56.500 --> 00:16:57.599
 that looks

00:16:57.599 --> 00:16:58.219
 across the

00:16:58.219 --> 00:16:59.000
 table at me

00:16:59.000 --> 00:16:59.639
 and she says

00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:00.359
 no

00:17:00.359 --> 00:17:03.219
 I do not

00:17:03.219 --> 00:17:04.220
 want people

00:17:04.220 --> 00:17:05.279
 like you

00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:07.039
 forcing your

00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:08.339
 religious belief

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:09.200
 down my

00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:10.059
 child's throat

00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:11.299
 and you've

00:17:11.299 --> 00:17:12.099
 got to respect

00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:12.599
 that

00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.899
 my response

00:17:15.899 --> 00:17:17.679
 ma'am

00:17:17.679 --> 00:17:18.200
 I will be

00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:18.700
 glad to

00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:19.419
 respect your

00:17:19.419 --> 00:17:19.899
 opinion

00:17:19.900 --> 00:17:23.000
 if you

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:23.680
 will respect

00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.120
 mine

00:17:24.120 --> 00:17:28.940
 from that

00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:29.660
 day on

00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:30.960
 basically

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:31.420
 friends

00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:31.880
 it became

00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:32.560
 a crusade

00:17:32.560 --> 00:17:33.140
 for me

00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:36.160
 to see

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:36.500
 how we

00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:36.820
 could get

00:17:36.820 --> 00:17:37.200
 Christian

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:37.740
 influence

00:17:37.740 --> 00:17:38.440
 into our

00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:39.019
 schools

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:41.220
 we had a

00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:41.680
 principal

00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:42.160
 when my

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:42.700
 child was

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:43.460
 at Six Mile

00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:44.080
 Elementary

00:17:44.080 --> 00:17:47.500
 the principal

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:48.380
 would always

00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:49.060
 invite me

00:17:49.059 --> 00:17:49.700
 to come

00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:50.980
 to do

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:51.899
 a career

00:17:51.899 --> 00:17:52.319
 day

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.039
 and I'm

00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:55.359
 just a

00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:55.639
 preacher

00:17:55.639 --> 00:17:57.519
 how many

00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:58.079
 kids

00:17:58.079 --> 00:17:58.599
 want to

00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:59.000
 hear what

00:17:59.000 --> 00:17:59.399
 a preacher

00:17:59.399 --> 00:17:59.960
 does in

00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:01.220
 his life

00:18:01.220 --> 00:18:01.759
 every day

00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:04.740

00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:05.139
 the principal

00:18:05.139 --> 00:18:05.639
 would do

00:18:05.639 --> 00:18:08.379
 the principal

00:18:08.379 --> 00:18:08.919
 would always

00:18:08.919 --> 00:18:09.759
 put me with

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.799
 the race car

00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:11.299
 driver

00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:12.960
 or the

00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:14.039
 airplane

00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:14.619
 pilot

00:18:14.619 --> 00:18:16.099
 or the

00:18:16.099 --> 00:18:16.759
 astronaut

00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:18.779
 well kids

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:19.119
 wanted to

00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:19.460
 hear all

00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:20.160
 about that

00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:21.619
 but to

00:18:21.619 --> 00:18:22.640
 hear about

00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:23.440
 those

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:24.000
 or any

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:24.359
 one of

00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:24.559
 those

00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.379
 they had

00:18:25.379 --> 00:18:25.740
 to then

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:26.099
 say it

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:26.339
 to the

00:18:26.339 --> 00:18:26.640
 second

00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:27.099
 half

00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:27.640
 which was

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:27.799
 the

00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:28.140
 preacher

00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:31.779
 and I

00:18:31.779 --> 00:18:32.259
 would always

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:32.680
 share

00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:33.039
 what I

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:33.700
 what my

00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:34.799
 role in

00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:35.180
 ministry

00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:35.519
 as a

00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:35.879
 pastor

00:18:35.879 --> 00:18:36.940
 what it

00:18:36.940 --> 00:18:37.339
 was

00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:38.700
 and I

00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:39.079
 would always

00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:39.400
 end

00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:39.660
 I did

00:18:39.660 --> 00:18:39.859
 this for

00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:40.319
 about five

00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:40.559
 years

00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:40.779
 I would

00:18:40.779 --> 00:18:41.500
 always end

00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:42.059
 in this

00:18:42.059 --> 00:18:42.379
 manner

00:18:42.380 --> 00:18:43.080
 I would

00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:43.600
 take a

00:18:43.600 --> 00:18:44.020
 copy of

00:18:44.020 --> 00:18:44.200
 my

00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:44.660
 scripture

00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:45.080
 of the

00:18:45.080 --> 00:18:45.360
 bible

00:18:45.360 --> 00:18:47.700
 and I

00:18:47.700 --> 00:18:47.840
 would

00:18:47.840 --> 00:18:48.380
 as I

00:18:48.380 --> 00:18:48.840
 close

00:18:48.840 --> 00:18:49.220
 I would

00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:49.640
 say

00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:50.860
 I have

00:18:50.860 --> 00:18:51.300
 here

00:18:51.300 --> 00:18:52.520
 in my

00:18:52.520 --> 00:18:52.880
 bible

00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:53.220
 when I

00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:53.760
 open it

00:18:53.760 --> 00:18:56.400
 a picture

00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:56.920
 if you

00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:57.260
 will

00:18:57.260 --> 00:18:59.180
 of who

00:18:59.180 --> 00:18:59.580
 God

00:18:59.580 --> 00:19:00.180
 loves

00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:01.220
 so much

00:19:01.220 --> 00:19:02.280
 that he

00:19:02.280 --> 00:19:02.740
 gave his

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:03.540
 only begotten

00:19:03.540 --> 00:19:03.980
 son

00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:04.900
 that

00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:05.340
 whosoever

00:19:05.340 --> 00:19:05.780
 believes

00:19:05.780 --> 00:19:06.220
 in him

00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:06.800
 will never

00:19:06.800 --> 00:19:07.400
 perish

00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:08.120
 but have

00:19:08.120 --> 00:19:08.620
 everlasting

00:19:08.620 --> 00:19:09.220
 life

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:10.380
 would you

00:19:10.380 --> 00:19:10.880
 like to

00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:11.240

00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:12.360
 person

00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:12.819
 is

00:19:12.819 --> 00:19:13.720
 every

00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:14.160
 hand

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:14.360

00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:20.539
 you the

00:19:20.539 --> 00:19:20.960
 picture

00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:22.100

00:19:22.100 --> 00:19:22.440
 person

00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:22.819
 that God

00:19:22.819 --> 00:19:23.259
 loves so

00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:23.519
 much

00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:23.759
 that he

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:24.120
 gave his

00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:24.799
 only begotten

00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:25.140
 son

00:19:25.140 --> 00:19:26.000
 that whosoever

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:26.579
 believes in

00:19:26.579 --> 00:19:26.839
 him

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:27.559
 will not

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:28.100
 perish

00:19:28.100 --> 00:19:28.759
 but have

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:29.200
 everlasting

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:29.740
 life

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:30.900
 but when I

00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:31.259
 show it

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:31.519
 to you

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:32.039
 don't tell

00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:32.920
 anyone else

00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:33.480
 because I

00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:33.860
 want them

00:19:33.860 --> 00:19:34.259
 to see the

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:34.680
 picture

00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:35.319
 themselves

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:35.960
 today

00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:37.339
 okay

00:19:37.339 --> 00:19:37.640
 okay

00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:38.880
 that's

00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:39.020
 who

00:19:39.020 --> 00:19:39.160
 would

00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:39.420
 see it

00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:39.720
 first

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:40.280
 every hand

00:19:40.280 --> 00:19:40.620
 would go

00:19:40.620 --> 00:19:40.900
 up

00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:41.500
 I'd walk

00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:41.800
 back

00:19:41.800 --> 00:19:42.240
 I'd open

00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:42.900
 my Bible

00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:43.660
 I'd turn

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:44.100
 it to the

00:19:44.100 --> 00:19:45.020
 child's face

00:19:45.020 --> 00:19:45.800
 and what I

00:19:45.800 --> 00:19:46.320
 had on the

00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:46.880
 leaf there

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:47.540
 was a

00:19:47.540 --> 00:19:47.900
 mirror

00:19:47.900 --> 00:19:51.600
 as I

00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:51.960
 walked

00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:52.460
 across

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:52.960
 through that

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:53.620
 classroom

00:19:53.620 --> 00:19:54.960
 every child

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:55.540
 saw

00:19:55.540 --> 00:19:56.960
 that the

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:57.460
 person that

00:19:57.460 --> 00:19:58.020
 God loves

00:19:58.020 --> 00:19:58.560
 so much

00:19:58.560 --> 00:19:58.820
 that he

00:19:58.820 --> 00:19:59.320
 gave his

00:19:59.320 --> 00:20:00.100
 only begotten

00:20:00.100 --> 00:20:00.520
 son

00:20:00.520 --> 00:20:01.800
 that whosoever

00:20:01.800 --> 00:20:02.400
 believes in

00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:02.820
 him would

00:20:02.820 --> 00:20:03.600
 not perish

00:20:03.600 --> 00:20:04.720
 was

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:05.220
 themselves

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:09.420
 there's a

00:20:09.420 --> 00:20:10.120
 task for

00:20:10.120 --> 00:20:10.759
 us to be

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:11.100
 doing

00:20:11.100 --> 00:20:11.839
 when they

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:12.740
 asked Jesus

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:13.579
 why are

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:14.160
 you here

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.960
 he did

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:15.500
 not say

00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:16.059
 to feed

00:20:16.059 --> 00:20:16.620
 the hungry

00:20:16.620 --> 00:20:17.519
 to heal

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:18.160
 the sick

00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:18.759
 nor to

00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:19.240
 raise the

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:19.600
 dead

00:20:19.600 --> 00:20:20.460
 when the

00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:20.940
 religious

00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:21.440
 leaders

00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:22.059
 asked him

00:20:22.059 --> 00:20:23.000
 why are

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:24.039
 you here

00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:28.000
 it was

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:28.740
 to seek

00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:29.480
 and to

00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:29.980
 save

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:30.740
 those

00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:31.500
 which were

00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:32.039
 lost

00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:34.339
 and that's

00:20:34.339 --> 00:20:35.019
 the task

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:35.720
 of the

00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:36.099
 church

00:20:36.099 --> 00:20:36.980
 today

00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:38.399
 to seek

00:20:38.399 --> 00:20:38.740
 and to

00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:39.119
 save

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:39.920
 those

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:40.559
 who are

00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:41.119
 lost

00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:42.139
 this

00:20:42.139 --> 00:20:43.099
 is

00:20:43.099 --> 00:20:43.859
 living

00:20:43.859 --> 00:20:45.019
 wisely

00:20:45.019 --> 00:20:47.000
 secondly

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:48.779
 understand

00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:50.180
 the will

00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:51.139
 of the

00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:51.559
 Lord

00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:53.779
 be aware

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:54.220
 of what

00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:55.039
 God wants

00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:56.240
 in every

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:57.720
 situation

00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:58.960
 verse 17

00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:01.400
 understanding

00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:02.120
 what the

00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:02.860
 will of

00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:03.500
 the Lord

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:04.600
 is

00:21:04.600 --> 00:21:05.799
 it is

00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:06.660
 not what

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:07.740
 you want

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.799
 it is

00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:09.680
 not what

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:10.799
 I want

00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.299
 it is

00:21:12.299 --> 00:21:12.799
 what

00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.440
 God

00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:13.920
 wants

00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:14.660
 and it

00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:15.259
 is us

00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:15.759
 pulling

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:16.440
 together

00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:17.079
 in the

00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:17.380
 same

00:21:17.380 --> 00:21:18.019
 direction

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:18.880
 with all

00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:19.160
 of our

00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:19.640
 strength

00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:20.160
 with all

00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:20.460
 of our

00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:20.860
 soul

00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:21.340
 and with

00:21:21.340 --> 00:21:22.539
 all of

00:21:22.539 --> 00:21:22.980
 our heart

00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:24.039
 to accomplish

00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:25.100
 that task

00:21:25.100 --> 00:21:26.120
 for years

00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:26.539
 I had a

00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:27.380
 little cartoon

00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:28.019
 that I

00:21:28.019 --> 00:21:28.619
 kept on

00:21:28.619 --> 00:21:29.480
 my office

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:30.480
 wall

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:31.200

00:21:31.639 --> 00:21:31.980
 board

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:32.460

00:21:35.859 --> 00:21:36.599

00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:22.960
 pulling with

00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:23.559
 all of your

00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:24.180
 strength

00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:25.599
 with all of

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.339
 their might

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:27.059
 but they're

00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:27.419
 pulling

00:22:27.419 --> 00:22:28.519
 against each

00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:28.919
 other

00:22:28.919 --> 00:22:30.379
 and it

00:22:30.379 --> 00:22:30.619
 goes

00:22:30.619 --> 00:22:31.119
 nowhere

00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:33.859
 body of

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:34.419
 Christ is

00:22:34.419 --> 00:22:34.899
 made up of

00:22:34.899 --> 00:22:35.720
 people that

00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:36.299
 service the

00:22:36.299 --> 00:22:36.659
 hands

00:22:36.659 --> 00:22:37.339
 some that

00:22:37.339 --> 00:22:37.959
 service the

00:22:37.959 --> 00:22:38.299
 feet

00:22:38.299 --> 00:22:39.899
 we all have a

00:22:39.899 --> 00:22:40.859
 different call

00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:42.039
 we all have

00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:43.279
 different gifts

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:44.799
 that we can put

00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:45.980
 together to form

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:46.980
 the body of

00:22:46.980 --> 00:22:48.000
 Christ that

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.059
 when he says

00:22:49.059 --> 00:22:50.720
 move we move

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.819
 and accomplishing

00:22:51.819 --> 00:22:52.579
 our task

00:22:52.579 --> 00:22:53.519
 for the purpose

00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:54.359
 of reaching

00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:55.419
 those who

00:22:55.419 --> 00:22:56.139
 are lost

00:22:56.139 --> 00:22:57.039
 and that

00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:58.299
 will be

00:22:58.299 --> 00:22:59.279
 accomplished

00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:01.039
 it is not

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.740
 what you

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:02.720
 want or

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:03.299
 where you

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:03.819
 want to

00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:04.259
 go

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:05.339
 but it

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:06.099
 is who

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:07.079
 you are

00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:08.240
 and doing

00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.220
 God's will

00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:10.220
 that brings

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:11.379
 honor to

00:23:11.379 --> 00:23:11.839
 him

00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.419
 verse

00:23:14.419 --> 00:23:16.319
 the passage

00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:17.000
 says

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:18.619
 in verse

00:23:18.619 --> 00:23:19.179
 10

00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:20.259
 if we go

00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:20.779
 back

00:23:20.779 --> 00:23:21.660
 or we

00:23:21.660 --> 00:23:22.140
 learn

00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:22.820
 here that

00:23:22.820 --> 00:23:23.500
 the passage

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:23.980
 says

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:25.519
 learn

00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:26.220
 what is

00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:26.880
 pleasing

00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:28.160
 to the

00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:28.560
 Lord

00:23:28.560 --> 00:23:31.240
 it's not

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:31.700
 about what

00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:32.380
 I want

00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:34.259
 it's about

00:23:34.259 --> 00:23:34.779
 what God

00:23:34.779 --> 00:23:35.320
 wants

00:23:35.320 --> 00:23:36.600
 and being

00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:37.160
 in tune

00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:37.640
 to that

00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:38.100
 third

00:23:38.100 --> 00:23:39.759
 be filled

00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:41.120
 with the

00:23:41.120 --> 00:23:41.860
 spirit

00:23:41.859 --> 00:23:46.219
 the secret

00:23:46.219 --> 00:23:47.359
 to a

00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:47.759
 godly

00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.199
 life

00:23:48.199 --> 00:23:48.519
 if you

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.079
 ever

00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:49.619
 ask

00:23:49.619 --> 00:23:50.240
 yourself

00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:51.319
 how

00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:51.979
 can I

00:23:51.979 --> 00:23:52.459
 live

00:23:52.459 --> 00:23:53.359
 a life

00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:54.639
 that I'm

00:23:54.639 --> 00:23:55.099
 doing

00:23:55.099 --> 00:23:55.679
 what I

00:23:55.679 --> 00:23:56.039
 know

00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:56.799
 God

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:57.439
 wants me

00:23:57.439 --> 00:23:58.079
 to do

00:23:58.079 --> 00:23:58.979
 and you

00:23:58.979 --> 00:23:59.079
 know

00:23:59.079 --> 00:23:59.779
 I will

00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:00.339
 be less

00:24:00.339 --> 00:24:01.000
 likely

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:01.779
 perhaps

00:24:01.779 --> 00:24:02.519
 very

00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:03.299
 unlikely

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:04.079
 to do

00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:04.419
 those

00:24:04.419 --> 00:24:04.919
 things

00:24:04.919 --> 00:24:05.659
 that bring

00:24:05.659 --> 00:24:06.240
 harm

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:06.839
 to me

00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:07.679
 what

00:24:07.679 --> 00:24:08.279
 is it

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:08.659
 that I

00:24:08.659 --> 00:24:08.959
 need

00:24:08.959 --> 00:24:09.359
 to do

00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:09.859
 it is

00:24:09.859 --> 00:24:10.240
 very

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:10.819
 simple

00:24:10.819 --> 00:24:11.259
 it is

00:24:11.259 --> 00:24:11.559
 this

00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:11.980
 secret

00:24:11.980 --> 00:24:12.659
 to be

00:24:12.659 --> 00:24:13.319
 filled

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:13.980
 by the

00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:14.720
 Holy Spirit

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:15.679
 of God

00:24:15.679 --> 00:24:17.919
 in the

00:24:17.919 --> 00:24:18.879
 book of

00:24:18.879 --> 00:24:19.399
 Acts

00:24:19.399 --> 00:24:21.839
 just before

00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:22.359
 Jesus

00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:23.019
 ascends

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:23.939
 he tells

00:24:23.939 --> 00:24:24.759
 his disciples

00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:26.460
 about the

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:26.919
 coming

00:24:26.919 --> 00:24:27.559
 of the

00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:28.039
 Spirit

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:28.339
 of the

00:24:28.339 --> 00:24:28.899
 Holy Spirit

00:24:28.899 --> 00:24:29.379
 that will

00:24:29.379 --> 00:24:30.359
 indwell

00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:31.619
 in them

00:24:31.619 --> 00:24:33.399
 that will

00:24:33.399 --> 00:24:34.279
 fill them

00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:35.220
 and will

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:36.000
 empower

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:36.579
 them

00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:38.539
 and encourage

00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:39.039
 them

00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:40.179
 man if

00:24:40.179 --> 00:24:40.319
 you're

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:40.539
 living

00:24:40.539 --> 00:24:41.059
 a life

00:24:41.059 --> 00:24:41.299
 in which

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:41.539
 you have

00:24:41.539 --> 00:24:42.139
 no power

00:24:42.139 --> 00:24:42.480
 and you're

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:43.720
 always feeling

00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:44.519
 discouraged

00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:45.659
 perhaps you

00:24:45.659 --> 00:24:46.960
 simply need

00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:47.519
 to be

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.019
 filled

00:24:48.019 --> 00:24:48.579
 with the

00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:48.879
 Spirit

00:24:48.879 --> 00:24:49.480
 of God

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.359
 so preacher

00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:53.039
 don't talk

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:53.759
 like that

00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:55.039
 I've been a

00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:55.599
 church member

00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:56.379
 for 60

00:24:56.379 --> 00:24:57.119
 years

00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:58.599
 well

00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:00.019
 I've been

00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:00.460
 preaching

00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:01.159
 since I

00:25:01.159 --> 00:25:01.939
 was 15

00:25:01.939 --> 00:25:04.000
 and I

00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:04.759
 still pray

00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:05.779
 for God

00:25:05.779 --> 00:25:06.319
 to fill me

00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:06.700
 with his

00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:07.099
 Spirit

00:25:07.099 --> 00:25:07.579
 daily

00:25:07.579 --> 00:25:10.139
 to just

00:25:10.139 --> 00:25:10.980
 encompass

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:12.099
 all that

00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:12.659
 I am

00:25:12.659 --> 00:25:13.379
 and all

00:25:13.379 --> 00:25:13.699
 that I'm

00:25:13.699 --> 00:25:14.139
 going to

00:25:14.139 --> 00:25:14.399
 be

00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:15.839
 Holy Spirit

00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:16.699
 because I

00:25:16.699 --> 00:25:17.059
 don't want

00:25:17.059 --> 00:25:17.379
 to be

00:25:17.379 --> 00:25:17.819
 filled

00:25:17.819 --> 00:25:18.399
 and let

00:25:18.399 --> 00:25:18.699
 it just

00:25:18.699 --> 00:25:19.339
 lay in

00:25:19.339 --> 00:25:19.619
 there

00:25:19.619 --> 00:25:20.279
 I want

00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:20.599
 to be

00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:20.919
 filled

00:25:20.919 --> 00:25:21.319

00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:21.740
 that I

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:22.339
 may share

00:25:22.339 --> 00:25:22.599
 it with

00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:22.960
 others

00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:23.699
 and then be

00:25:23.699 --> 00:25:23.960
 filled

00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:24.480
 tomorrow

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:25.059
 that I

00:25:25.059 --> 00:25:25.699
 may share

00:25:25.699 --> 00:25:26.359
 again

00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:27.559
 it is

00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:28.240
 living a

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:28.599
 life

00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:29.079
 in which

00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:29.379
 you are

00:25:29.379 --> 00:25:29.819
 filled

00:25:29.819 --> 00:25:30.500
 by the

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:30.939
 Spirit

00:25:30.939 --> 00:25:31.899
 of God

00:25:31.900 --> 00:25:32.820
 Jesus

00:25:32.820 --> 00:25:34.580
 and the

00:25:34.580 --> 00:25:34.980
 woman

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:35.960
 at the

00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:36.320
 well

00:25:36.320 --> 00:25:37.440
 in John

00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:38.440
 14

00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:40.580
 illustrates

00:25:40.580 --> 00:25:41.640
 that point

00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:42.640
 so beautifully

00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:45.060
 as he is

00:25:45.060 --> 00:25:45.720
 sitting there

00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:46.019
 at the

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:46.320
 well

00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:47.180
 talking to

00:25:47.180 --> 00:25:47.780
 this lady

00:25:47.780 --> 00:25:48.980
 who believes

00:25:48.980 --> 00:25:49.400
 that she

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:50.100
 understands

00:25:50.100 --> 00:25:50.660
 all there

00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:51.180
 really is

00:25:51.180 --> 00:25:51.880
 to understand

00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:53.240
 about religion

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:54.540
 and she

00:25:54.540 --> 00:25:55.060
 may have

00:25:55.060 --> 00:25:56.759
 but what

00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:57.180
 she did

00:25:57.180 --> 00:25:58.019
 not understand

00:25:58.019 --> 00:25:59.420
 was what

00:25:59.420 --> 00:25:59.759
 it meant

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:00.080
 to be

00:26:00.080 --> 00:26:00.480
 filled

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:02.220
 with the

00:26:02.220 --> 00:26:02.460
 Spirit

00:26:02.460 --> 00:26:03.039
 of God

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.440
 Jesus

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:06.960
 said to

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.180
 her

00:26:07.180 --> 00:26:07.759
 if you

00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:07.920
 knew

00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:08.279
 who I

00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:08.660
 was

00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:09.059
 you

00:26:09.059 --> 00:26:09.180
 would

00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:09.339
 be

00:26:09.339 --> 00:26:09.779
 asking

00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:10.460
 me

00:26:10.460 --> 00:26:12.259
 for the

00:26:12.259 --> 00:26:12.640
 water

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:15.339
 because he

00:26:15.339 --> 00:26:15.720
 would fill

00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:16.120
 her with

00:26:16.120 --> 00:26:16.640
 the Spirit

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:17.220
 of God

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:18.480
 he would

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:19.120
 fill her

00:26:19.120 --> 00:26:19.779
 with that

00:26:19.779 --> 00:26:20.220
 water

00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:20.819
 in which

00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:21.279
 she would

00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:21.839
 never

00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:22.740
 thirst

00:26:22.740 --> 00:26:23.400
 again

00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:24.700
 I got

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:25.240
 tired

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:25.779
 of living

00:26:25.779 --> 00:26:26.380
 a life

00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:26.920
 where I

00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:27.259
 would be

00:26:27.259 --> 00:26:27.880
 pumped up

00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:28.440
 on Sunday

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:28.920
 mornings

00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:29.819
 and empty

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:30.500
 by Thursday

00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:31.139
 afternoon

00:26:31.139 --> 00:26:32.839
 I got

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.099
 tired

00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:33.579
 of that

00:26:33.579 --> 00:26:36.359
 I wanted

00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:36.720
 to live

00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:37.179
 a life

00:26:37.179 --> 00:26:37.500
 in which

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:37.899
 Christ

00:26:37.899 --> 00:26:38.099
 would

00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:38.480
 fill

00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:38.859
 and

00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:39.159
 fill

00:26:39.159 --> 00:26:40.399
 me

00:26:40.399 --> 00:26:40.879
 and I

00:26:40.879 --> 00:26:41.319
 realized

00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:41.720
 the way

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:42.019
 that I

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:42.519
 do that

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:42.960
 is that

00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:43.419
 I live

00:26:43.419 --> 00:26:43.859
 for him

00:26:43.859 --> 00:26:44.319
 and that

00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:44.759
 I ask

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:44.939
 him

00:26:44.939 --> 00:26:45.980
 every day

00:26:45.980 --> 00:26:46.899
 to live

00:26:46.899 --> 00:26:48.099
 in me

00:26:48.099 --> 00:26:51.839
 when she

00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:52.299
 understood

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:52.799
 what it

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:53.339
 meant to be

00:26:53.339 --> 00:26:53.779
 filled

00:26:53.779 --> 00:26:54.399
 with the

00:26:54.399 --> 00:26:54.799
 Spirit

00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:56.220
 she ran

00:26:56.220 --> 00:26:56.779
 back to

00:26:56.779 --> 00:26:57.279
 the town

00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:57.779
 and she

00:26:57.779 --> 00:26:58.039
 told

00:26:58.039 --> 00:26:58.879
 everybody

00:26:58.879 --> 00:27:01.200
 and I

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:01.519
 believe

00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:01.779
 when we

00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:01.940
 say

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.599
 everybody

00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:03.119
 I

00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:03.440
 think

00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:03.579
 it

00:27:03.579 --> 00:27:03.720
 meant

00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:04.139
 everybody

00:27:04.139 --> 00:27:04.399
 that had

00:27:04.399 --> 00:27:04.599
 anything

00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:04.920
 to do

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:05.299
 with her

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:05.779
 so it

00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:06.159
 was not

00:27:06.159 --> 00:27:06.599
 the church

00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:07.019
 people

00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:09.680
 she went

00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:09.899
 and she

00:27:09.899 --> 00:27:10.440
 told them

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.279
 we're to be

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:11.680
 filled

00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:12.299
 with the

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:12.779
 Spirit

00:27:12.779 --> 00:27:13.779
 of God

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:14.700
 Colossians

00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:15.559
 chapter 3

00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:16.480
 verse 16

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:16.899
 says

00:27:16.899 --> 00:27:17.639
 let the

00:27:17.639 --> 00:27:18.119
 word of

00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:18.519
 Christ

00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:19.039
 dwell

00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:19.639
 in you

00:27:19.639 --> 00:27:20.819
 richly

00:27:20.819 --> 00:27:22.079
 fully

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:24.879
 as you

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:26.700
 teach

00:27:26.700 --> 00:27:28.200
 and admonish

00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:29.300
 one another

00:27:29.300 --> 00:27:30.440
 in all

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:30.900
 wisdom

00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:33.980
 seek to

00:27:33.980 --> 00:27:34.720
 be filled

00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:35.620
 with the

00:27:35.620 --> 00:27:36.040
 Spirit

00:27:36.040 --> 00:27:36.800
 of God

00:27:36.800 --> 00:27:39.560
 fourth

00:27:39.560 --> 00:27:41.280
 understanding

00:27:41.280 --> 00:27:42.320
 the importance

00:27:42.320 --> 00:27:43.880
 of worship

00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:44.800
 look what it

00:27:44.800 --> 00:27:45.300
 says

00:27:45.300 --> 00:27:47.820
 in verse

00:27:47.820 --> 00:27:48.880
 19

00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:50.320
 speaking to

00:27:50.320 --> 00:27:50.800
 yourselves

00:27:50.800 --> 00:27:51.540
 in psalms

00:27:51.540 --> 00:27:52.100
 and hymns

00:27:52.100 --> 00:27:52.620
 and spiritual

00:27:52.620 --> 00:27:53.220
 songs

00:27:53.220 --> 00:27:54.000
 singing

00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:54.680
 and making

00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:55.200
 melody

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:55.720
 in your

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.279
 heart

00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:56.940
 to the

00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:57.380
 Lord

00:27:57.380 --> 00:27:58.960
 I enjoyed

00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.460
 hearing this

00:27:59.460 --> 00:28:00.019
 men's group

00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:00.460
 sing

00:28:00.460 --> 00:28:01.480
 but I kept

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:01.980
 looking for

00:28:01.980 --> 00:28:02.460
 Lawrence

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:03.279
 Crenshaw

00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:03.900
 up here

00:28:03.900 --> 00:28:05.779
 because I

00:28:05.779 --> 00:28:06.140
 didn't see

00:28:06.140 --> 00:28:06.660
 anybody young

00:28:06.660 --> 00:28:07.079
 enough to

00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:07.440
 be him

00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:07.740
 as I

00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:08.200
 remembered

00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:13.160
 Lawrence

00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:13.400
 and I

00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:13.819
 go way

00:28:13.819 --> 00:28:14.220
 back

00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:15.079
 listen

00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:15.600
 I'll tell

00:28:15.600 --> 00:28:15.920
 you this

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:16.420
 little side

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:17.039
 little side

00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:17.220
 note

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:17.880
 very quickly

00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:18.980
 you know

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:19.319
 why I'm

00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:19.720
 a preacher

00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:20.220
 today

00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:21.480
 you know

00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:21.759
 why

00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:23.039
 because I

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.680
 took piano

00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:24.379
 from Liddell

00:28:24.379 --> 00:28:26.140
 and she

00:28:26.140 --> 00:28:26.680
 told me

00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:27.099
 she said

00:28:27.099 --> 00:28:27.559
 Rick

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:28.519
 you better

00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:28.920
 just give

00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:29.480
 up music

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:29.859
 and try

00:28:29.859 --> 00:28:30.299
 preaching

00:28:30.299 --> 00:28:33.900
 and God

00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:34.720
 took that

00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:36.019
 and used

00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:36.259
 it

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:37.019
 to call

00:28:37.019 --> 00:28:37.319
 me to

00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:37.819
 preach

00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:41.379
 but singing

00:28:41.379 --> 00:28:42.160
 and making

00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:42.879
 melody

00:28:42.879 --> 00:28:43.640
 in your

00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:44.160
 heart

00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:45.119
 oh

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:48.859
 strangest looks

00:28:48.859 --> 00:28:49.500
 at traffic

00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:50.039
 lights

00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:50.379
 when I'm

00:28:50.379 --> 00:28:50.879
 sitting in

00:28:50.879 --> 00:28:51.220
 town

00:28:51.220 --> 00:28:52.579
 there may

00:28:52.579 --> 00:28:52.960
 be some

00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:53.259
 of you

00:28:53.259 --> 00:28:53.519
 that have

00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:54.100

00:28:54.100 --> 00:28:54.740
 and now

00:28:54.740 --> 00:28:55.019

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:58.819
 that idiot

00:28:58.819 --> 00:29:01.299
 I love to

00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:02.259
 sing in my

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.779
 car

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:04.480
 I won't tell

00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:04.799
 you exactly

00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:05.120
 what I

00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:05.460
 drive

00:29:05.460 --> 00:29:05.740
 that way

00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:05.940
 if you

00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:06.339
 don't know

00:29:06.339 --> 00:29:06.620
 you won't

00:29:06.620 --> 00:29:06.839
 know if

00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:07.120
 it's me

00:29:07.120 --> 00:29:07.420
 or not

00:29:07.420 --> 00:29:08.420
 I love

00:29:08.420 --> 00:29:09.100
 to sing

00:29:09.100 --> 00:29:09.839
 in my

00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:10.319
 car

00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:12.680
 and I

00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:13.120
 will turn

00:29:13.120 --> 00:29:13.680
 the radio

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:14.259
 up

00:29:14.259 --> 00:29:15.299
 not to

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.720
 blast out

00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:16.160
 the people

00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:16.799
 around me

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:17.779
 loud enough

00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:18.660
 that I

00:29:18.660 --> 00:29:19.240
 can't hear

00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:20.079
 myself sing

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:20.600
 with them

00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:22.439
 but I

00:29:22.439 --> 00:29:22.879
 love to

00:29:22.879 --> 00:29:23.259
 sing

00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:24.079
 I love

00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:24.599
 to sing

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:24.939
 with the

00:29:24.939 --> 00:29:25.639
 congregation

00:29:25.639 --> 00:29:27.279
 I love

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:28.259
 praise songs

00:29:28.259 --> 00:29:29.779
 I love

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:30.519
 songs that

00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:31.079
 talk of

00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:31.699
 Calvary

00:29:31.699 --> 00:29:32.459
 I love

00:29:32.459 --> 00:29:33.279
 songs that

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:33.899
 talk of

00:29:33.899 --> 00:29:34.559
 the blood

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:35.240
 and the

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:35.980
 grace of

00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:37.019
 Jesus Christ

00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:37.740
 and his

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:38.319
 love

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:39.219
 I love

00:29:39.219 --> 00:29:40.059
 songs that

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.839
 tell me

00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:41.699
 that he

00:29:41.699 --> 00:29:42.619
 accepts me

00:29:42.619 --> 00:29:43.819
 just as

00:29:43.819 --> 00:29:44.519
 I am

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:45.519
 I love

00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:46.420
 songs that

00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:47.180
 tell me

00:29:47.180 --> 00:29:47.700
 or that

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:48.480
 encourage me

00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:49.079
 to sing

00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:50.000
 to God

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:50.279
 and say

00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:50.940
 have your

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:51.359
 way

00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:52.139
 in my

00:29:52.139 --> 00:29:52.660
 life

00:29:52.660 --> 00:29:53.420
 I love

00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:53.940
 singing

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:54.740
 the old

00:29:54.740 --> 00:29:55.379
 hymns

00:29:55.379 --> 00:29:56.000
 and the

00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:56.480

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.420
 I love

 hearing

00:29:57.940 --> 00:29:58.839
 songs

00:29:58.839 --> 00:29:59.859
 I love

00:29:59.859 --> 00:30:00.680
 understanding

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:01.660
 the importance

00:30:01.660 --> 00:30:02.859
 of worship

00:30:02.859 --> 00:30:03.699
 worship

00:30:03.699 --> 00:30:06.359
 I feel so

00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:07.199
 regretful

00:30:07.199 --> 00:30:08.119
 and sorry

00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:09.019
 for those

00:30:09.019 --> 00:30:09.559
 who say

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:10.439
 I don't

00:30:10.439 --> 00:30:11.439
 have to be

00:30:11.439 --> 00:30:12.319
 in church

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:13.219
 to worship

00:30:13.219 --> 00:30:14.319
 you're right

00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:15.319
 you don't

00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:16.279
 you should

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:17.219
 worship God

00:30:17.219 --> 00:30:17.879
 when you're

00:30:17.879 --> 00:30:18.399
 alone

00:30:18.399 --> 00:30:19.139
 when you're

00:30:19.139 --> 00:30:19.740
 at home

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:20.419
 when you're

00:30:20.419 --> 00:30:21.259
 in your car

00:30:21.259 --> 00:30:21.979
 when you're

00:30:21.979 --> 00:30:22.719
 at work

00:30:22.719 --> 00:30:23.379
 when you're

00:30:23.379 --> 00:30:24.399
 doing chores

00:30:24.399 --> 00:30:25.099
 when you're

00:30:25.099 --> 00:30:26.079
 buying groceries

00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:26.719
 at Walmart

00:30:26.719 --> 00:30:27.899
 when the person

00:30:27.899 --> 00:30:28.979
 cuts you off

00:30:28.979 --> 00:30:29.699
 at the corner

00:30:29.699 --> 00:30:30.319

00:30:31.299 --> 00:30:32.299

00:30:32.299 --> 00:30:33.259
 should worship

00:30:33.259 --> 00:30:34.059
 God

00:30:34.059 --> 00:30:36.819
 in all aspects

00:30:36.819 --> 00:30:37.619
 at all times

00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:38.379
 of your life

00:30:38.379 --> 00:30:41.339
 but you should

00:30:41.339 --> 00:30:42.399
 never forsake

00:30:42.399 --> 00:30:43.299

00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:46.939

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:48.819

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:50.759
 to share

00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:51.659
 in the excitement

00:30:51.659 --> 00:30:53.259
 and the voices

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:54.740
 and the smiles

00:30:54.740 --> 00:30:55.779
 and the hearts

00:30:55.779 --> 00:30:56.539
 of those

00:30:56.539 --> 00:30:57.240
 who sit around

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:57.559
 you

00:30:57.559 --> 00:30:59.639
 and to know

00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:00.380
 that they

00:31:00.380 --> 00:31:01.460
 are too

00:31:01.460 --> 00:31:02.520
 enjoying

00:31:02.520 --> 00:31:03.780
 being in the

00:31:03.780 --> 00:31:04.200
 presence

00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:05.480

 singing from

00:31:10.520 --> 00:31:11.240
 your heart

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:12.000
 daily

00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:13.400
 and then

00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:14.040
 finally

00:31:14.040 --> 00:31:15.660
 verse 20

00:31:23.540 --> 00:31:25.200
 and understanding

00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:27.800
 I read a story

00:31:27.800 --> 00:31:28.880
 several years

00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:29.340
 ago

00:31:29.340 --> 00:31:31.140
 a guy

00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:31.640
 was writing

00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:32.380
 his testimony

00:31:32.380 --> 00:31:33.920
 as a sailor

00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:34.440
 in the United

00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:35.260
 States Navy

00:31:35.260 --> 00:31:37.120
 and he was

00:31:37.120 --> 00:31:38.060
 sharing in one

00:31:38.060 --> 00:31:39.020
 of the stories

00:31:39.020 --> 00:31:41.000
 how he would

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:41.700
 always

00:31:41.700 --> 00:31:42.520
 he was always

00:31:42.520 --> 00:31:43.280
 telling others

00:31:43.280 --> 00:31:44.360
 of how thankful

00:31:44.360 --> 00:31:45.520
 he was to God

00:31:45.520 --> 00:31:46.460
 for everything

00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:47.400
 that he had

00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:48.980
 for everything

00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:50.000
 that he received

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:50.720
 he would give

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.120
 thanks

00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:51.420
 he said

00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:51.820
 I want people

00:31:51.820 --> 00:31:51.980
 to know

00:31:51.980 --> 00:31:52.380
 I'm thankful

00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:52.860
 to God

00:31:52.860 --> 00:31:54.060
 one day

00:31:54.060 --> 00:31:54.760
 they sit down

00:31:54.760 --> 00:31:55.400
 for a mess

00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:56.360
 and as he

00:31:56.360 --> 00:31:56.940
 starts to eat

00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:57.860
 he takes a bite

00:31:57.859 --> 00:31:58.500
 of his meal

00:31:58.500 --> 00:31:59.500
 and as he

00:31:59.500 --> 00:32:00.000
 takes it

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:00.919

 spits it back

00:32:03.859 --> 00:32:04.359
 out and the

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:04.979
 spoon throws

00:32:04.979 --> 00:32:05.339
 it down

00:32:05.339 --> 00:32:05.839
 and says

00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:06.279
 that's some

00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:06.619
 of the worst

00:32:06.619 --> 00:32:07.259
 food I've ever

 who is known

00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:18.619
 for his

00:32:18.619 --> 00:32:19.919
 colorful language

00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:23.440
 looks up

00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:25.039
 and he says

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:26.880
 well

00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:27.700

00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:32.160

 and it's

00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:32.840
 not good

00:32:32.840 --> 00:32:33.440
 the big

00:32:37.700 --> 00:32:37.980
 meal

00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:41.000
 and the

00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:41.519
 sailor said

00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:42.140
 yes I

00:32:42.140 --> 00:32:42.440
 did

00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:43.880
 the big

00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:44.140
 burly

00:32:44.140 --> 00:32:44.539
 officer

00:32:44.539 --> 00:32:44.779
 says

00:32:44.779 --> 00:32:45.300
 then shut

00:32:45.300 --> 00:32:46.759
 up and eat

00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:47.440
 it

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:49.940
 how often

00:32:49.940 --> 00:32:50.600
 do we give

00:32:50.600 --> 00:32:51.279
 thanks to

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:51.759
 God

00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:53.299
 and then what

00:32:53.299 --> 00:32:53.779
 we've just

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:54.380
 given him

00:32:54.380 --> 00:32:55.240
 thanks for

00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:56.420
 we allow it

00:32:56.420 --> 00:32:56.799
 to become

00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:57.799
 something that's

00:32:57.799 --> 00:32:58.559
 in our way

00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:02.360
 something that

00:33:02.360 --> 00:33:02.920
 we say you

00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:03.259
 know I would

00:33:03.259 --> 00:33:04.080
 be better off

00:33:04.080 --> 00:33:04.860
 without

00:33:04.860 --> 00:33:06.640
 than what

00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:07.140
 God has

00:33:07.140 --> 00:33:08.039
 given to me

00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:08.900
 we're to give

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:09.559
 thanks to

00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:10.440
 God and

00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:11.140
 understanding

00:33:11.140 --> 00:33:12.160
 and everything

00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:14.860
 for I want

00:33:14.860 --> 00:33:15.100
 you to

00:33:15.100 --> 00:33:15.820
 understand this

00:33:15.820 --> 00:33:16.279
 morning

00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:17.960
 and have

00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:18.420
 the opportunity

00:33:18.420 --> 00:33:18.859
 to talk

00:33:18.859 --> 00:33:19.460
 with someone

00:33:19.460 --> 00:33:20.599
 just yesterday

00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:23.160
 in Engels

00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:24.299
 about this

00:33:24.299 --> 00:33:25.899
 the will

00:33:25.899 --> 00:33:26.200
 of the

00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:26.559
 Lord

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:28.099
 is that

00:33:28.099 --> 00:33:28.759
 difficult

00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:29.759
 situations

00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:30.539
 that happen

00:33:30.539 --> 00:33:30.899
 in your

00:33:30.899 --> 00:33:31.460
 life

00:33:31.460 --> 00:33:33.000
 will draw

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.980
 you closer

00:33:33.980 --> 00:33:35.259
 to him

00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:39.379
 we do

00:33:39.379 --> 00:33:39.819
 not like

00:33:39.819 --> 00:33:40.359
 difficult

00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:41.180
 situations

00:33:41.180 --> 00:33:42.980
 we do

00:33:42.980 --> 00:33:43.500
 not like

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:44.039
 to think

00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:44.740
 when something

00:33:44.740 --> 00:33:45.079
 goes

00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:47.659
 wrong

00:33:47.659 --> 00:33:51.339
 I'm a

00:33:51.339 --> 00:33:51.759
 Christian

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:52.919
 life is

00:33:52.919 --> 00:33:53.519
 supposed to

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:54.259
 be perfect

00:33:54.259 --> 00:33:55.839
 no it's

00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:56.220
 not

00:33:56.220 --> 00:34:00.299
 God never

00:34:00.299 --> 00:34:00.960
 promised you

00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:01.539
 a perfect

00:34:01.539 --> 00:34:02.079
 life

00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:02.799
 he just

00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:03.379
 promised

00:34:03.379 --> 00:34:03.899
 that he

00:34:03.899 --> 00:34:04.659
 would always

00:34:04.659 --> 00:34:05.319
 be there

00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:06.079
 for you

00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:07.179
 in life

00:34:07.179 --> 00:34:09.219
 that he

00:34:09.219 --> 00:34:09.779
 would stick

00:34:09.779 --> 00:34:10.659
 closer than

00:34:10.659 --> 00:34:11.219
 a brother

00:34:11.219 --> 00:34:13.480
 that he

00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:13.899
 would never

00:34:13.899 --> 00:34:14.639
 leave you

00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:15.500
 nor forsake

00:34:15.500 --> 00:34:15.799
 you

00:34:15.799 --> 00:34:17.079
 that he

00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:17.579
 would give

00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:17.959
 you the

00:34:17.959 --> 00:34:18.659
 strength

00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:20.039
 daily

00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:21.199
 to live

00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:22.859
 he never

00:34:22.859 --> 00:34:23.599
 promised

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.480
 perfection

00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:26.879
 here

00:34:26.879 --> 00:34:28.419
 and so the

00:34:28.419 --> 00:34:29.079
 difficulties

00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:30.119
 of life

00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:32.059
 draw us

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:33.039
 closer

00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:34.719
 to him

00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:37.699
 in Galatians

00:34:37.699 --> 00:34:40.299
 chapter 3

00:34:40.299 --> 00:34:41.659
 let me be

00:34:41.659 --> 00:34:41.980
 sure I'm

00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:43.159
 right here

00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:48.279
 excuse me

00:34:48.279 --> 00:34:49.199
 let me back

00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:49.519
 I'm not

00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:50.199
 exactly sure

00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:51.279
 that's where

00:34:51.279 --> 00:34:51.599
 I wanted

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:52.139
 to go

00:34:52.139 --> 00:34:54.359
 should have

00:34:54.359 --> 00:34:54.899
 prepared a little

00:34:54.899 --> 00:34:55.139
 more

00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:55.739
 one minute

00:34:55.739 --> 00:34:56.079
 more

00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:58.439
 Paul wrote

00:34:58.439 --> 00:34:58.919
 this

00:34:58.919 --> 00:35:00.000
 oh foolish

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.779
 Galatians

00:35:00.780 --> 00:35:03.120
 having begun

00:35:03.120 --> 00:35:04.120
 in the spirit

00:35:04.120 --> 00:35:05.980
 you are now

00:35:05.980 --> 00:35:06.760
 continuing

00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:08.700
 in the flesh

00:35:08.700 --> 00:35:10.500
 that was

00:35:10.500 --> 00:35:11.160
 their issue

00:35:11.160 --> 00:35:12.900
 they had

00:35:12.900 --> 00:35:13.220
 come to

00:35:13.220 --> 00:35:13.720
 Christ

00:35:13.720 --> 00:35:15.180
 they had

00:35:15.180 --> 00:35:15.620
 professed

00:35:15.620 --> 00:35:16.100
 faith in

00:35:16.100 --> 00:35:16.620
 Christ

00:35:16.620 --> 00:35:19.380
 they had

00:35:19.380 --> 00:35:19.680
 the way

00:35:19.680 --> 00:35:20.080
 out the

00:35:20.080 --> 00:35:20.440
 door

00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:21.060
 if you will

00:35:21.060 --> 00:35:22.540
 they just

00:35:22.540 --> 00:35:22.940
 went back

00:35:22.940 --> 00:35:23.340
 to living

00:35:23.340 --> 00:35:23.820
 the same

00:35:23.820 --> 00:35:24.420
 old life

00:35:24.420 --> 00:35:27.160
 they may

00:35:27.160 --> 00:35:27.540
 have even

00:35:27.540 --> 00:35:28.040
 tried

00:35:28.040 --> 00:35:29.760
 to change

00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:30.580
 their way

00:35:30.579 --> 00:35:31.179
 of living

00:35:31.179 --> 00:35:33.699
 but they

00:35:33.699 --> 00:35:34.079
 tried to

00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:34.319
 do it

00:35:34.319 --> 00:35:34.559
 without

00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:35.199
 Christ

00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:37.440
 you can't

00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:37.679
 do it

00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:38.139
 that way

00:35:38.139 --> 00:35:41.039
 you can't

00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:41.579
 profess to

00:35:41.579 --> 00:35:41.840
 be a

00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:42.199
 Christian

00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:43.059
 and live

00:35:43.059 --> 00:35:43.500
 like a

00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:43.840
 Christian

00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:44.719
 and live

00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:45.059
 in the

00:35:45.059 --> 00:35:45.380
 glory

00:35:45.380 --> 00:35:46.019
 of God

00:35:46.019 --> 00:35:46.739
 and in

00:35:46.739 --> 00:35:47.159
 the leadership

00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:47.420
 of the

00:35:47.420 --> 00:35:48.099
 Holy Spirit

00:35:48.099 --> 00:35:48.920
 you can't

00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:49.219
 do it

00:35:49.219 --> 00:35:49.619
 just by

00:35:49.619 --> 00:35:50.239
 professing

00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:50.759
 you have

00:35:50.759 --> 00:35:51.219
 to work

00:35:51.219 --> 00:35:51.679
 at it

00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:52.099
 and you

00:35:52.099 --> 00:35:52.400
 have to

00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:52.880
 ask him

00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:53.259
 to go

00:35:53.259 --> 00:35:53.779
 with you

00:35:53.779 --> 00:35:55.199
 every step

00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:55.840
 of the

00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:56.299
 way

00:35:56.300 --> 00:36:00.980
 we've

00:36:00.980 --> 00:36:01.340
 got a

00:36:01.340 --> 00:36:02.160
 six month

00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:02.539
 old

00:36:02.539 --> 00:36:03.500
 grandson

00:36:03.500 --> 00:36:07.460
 his parents

00:36:07.460 --> 00:36:07.960
 our son

00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:08.120
 they're

00:36:08.120 --> 00:36:08.760
 missionaries

00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:09.380
 overseas

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:09.780
 they'll be

00:36:09.780 --> 00:36:10.320
 going back

00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:10.840
 in a couple

00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:11.539
 of months

00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:13.440
 we've been

00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:13.860
 blessed to

00:36:13.860 --> 00:36:14.120
 have him

00:36:14.120 --> 00:36:14.560
 here for

00:36:14.560 --> 00:36:15.080
 the last

00:36:15.080 --> 00:36:15.860
 four months

00:36:15.860 --> 00:36:16.300
 or so

00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:16.860
 but as

00:36:16.860 --> 00:36:17.380
 he's growing

00:36:17.380 --> 00:36:17.800
 he's

00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:18.320
 over six

00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:18.740
 months

00:36:18.740 --> 00:36:19.120
 now

00:36:19.120 --> 00:36:20.539
 this morning

00:36:20.539 --> 00:36:21.000
 I walked

00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:21.400
 by his

00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:21.900
 little play

00:36:21.900 --> 00:36:22.320
 area

00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:22.620
 when he

00:36:22.620 --> 00:36:23.039
 looked up

00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:23.440
 and saw

00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:23.639
 me

00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:24.460
 he just

00:36:24.460 --> 00:36:25.179
 grinned

00:36:25.179 --> 00:36:26.099
 so big

00:36:26.099 --> 00:36:27.059
 and Papa's

00:36:27.059 --> 00:36:27.440
 heart

00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:28.420
 just melted

00:36:28.420 --> 00:36:29.420
 and ran

00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:29.679
 to the

00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:30.059
 floor

00:36:30.059 --> 00:36:32.019
 and I

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:32.659
 leaned over

00:36:32.659 --> 00:36:33.300
 the side

00:36:33.300 --> 00:36:33.460
 of the

00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:33.920
 little play

00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:34.279
 area

00:36:34.279 --> 00:36:35.119
 I said

00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:35.659
 Ollie

00:36:35.659 --> 00:36:37.199
 come to

00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:37.559
 Papa

00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:41.980
 he's not

00:36:41.980 --> 00:36:42.460
 big enough

00:36:42.460 --> 00:36:43.219
 to crawl

00:36:43.219 --> 00:36:43.539
 yet

00:36:43.539 --> 00:36:44.159
 he's trying

00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:44.960
 but he

00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:45.460
 can't do

00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:45.719
 it

00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:48.579
 but when I

00:36:48.579 --> 00:36:49.059
 finished

00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:49.659
 and I

00:36:49.659 --> 00:36:50.380
 stood up

00:36:50.380 --> 00:36:51.559
 I just

00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:52.079
 thought to

00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:52.639
 myself

00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:53.420
 oh how

00:36:53.420 --> 00:36:54.400
 many times

00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:55.659
 has God

00:36:55.659 --> 00:36:56.199
 said to

00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:56.639
 me

00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:57.659
 or you

00:36:57.659 --> 00:36:58.139
 may think

00:36:58.139 --> 00:36:58.539
 how many

00:36:58.539 --> 00:36:59.299
 times has

00:36:59.299 --> 00:36:59.960
 God said

00:36:59.960 --> 00:37:00.519
 to you

00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:02.679
 just come

00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:03.819
 to me

00:37:03.819 --> 00:37:07.259
 just come

00:37:07.259 --> 00:37:07.879
 to me

00:37:07.879 --> 00:37:10.579
 and I

00:37:10.579 --> 00:37:11.159
 believe that

00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:11.980
 he's issuing

00:37:11.980 --> 00:37:13.199
 and extending

00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:14.279
 that invitation

00:37:14.279 --> 00:37:15.519
 this morning

00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:18.579
 the Holy

00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:19.359
 Spirit may

00:37:19.359 --> 00:37:19.940
 be speaking

00:37:19.940 --> 00:37:20.779
 to multiple

00:37:20.779 --> 00:37:21.420
 people in

00:37:21.420 --> 00:37:22.259
 this congregation

00:37:22.260 --> 00:37:23.300
 and the

00:37:23.300 --> 00:37:24.080
 Holy Spirit

00:37:24.080 --> 00:37:24.720
 is saying

00:37:24.720 --> 00:37:26.600
 don't

00:37:26.600 --> 00:37:27.300
 continue

00:37:27.300 --> 00:37:28.400
 to live

00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:28.720
 in the

00:37:28.720 --> 00:37:29.280
 flesh

00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:30.020
 and to

00:37:30.020 --> 00:37:30.680
 profess

00:37:30.680 --> 00:37:31.560
 faith

00:37:31.560 --> 00:37:32.720
 in Christ

00:37:32.720 --> 00:37:33.960
 but live

00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:35.000
 your life

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:36.520
 in faith

00:37:36.520 --> 00:37:39.120
 and obedience

00:37:39.120 --> 00:37:40.700
 to Christ

00:37:40.700 --> 00:37:42.420
 without faith

00:37:42.420 --> 00:37:44.060
 Hebrews 11

00:37:44.060 --> 00:37:45.720
 verse 6

00:37:45.720 --> 00:37:46.600
 tells us

00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:47.839
 that without

00:37:47.839 --> 00:37:48.519
 faith

00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:50.199
 it is impossible

00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:51.940
 to please

00:37:51.940 --> 00:37:52.460
 God

00:37:52.460 --> 00:37:55.440
 are you

00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:55.920
 struggling

00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:58.639
 are you

00:37:58.639 --> 00:37:59.380
 waking up

00:37:59.380 --> 00:38:00.360
 some mornings

00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:02.039
 realizing that

00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:02.819
 the day before

00:38:02.819 --> 00:38:03.920
 you did not

00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:05.099
 live as you

00:38:05.099 --> 00:38:05.839
 wanted to

00:38:05.839 --> 00:38:07.799
 you did not

00:38:07.799 --> 00:38:08.639
 live as you

00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:09.139
 know God

00:38:09.139 --> 00:38:10.059
 expected you

00:38:10.059 --> 00:38:10.380
 to

00:38:10.380 --> 00:38:11.719
 because you

00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:12.319
 did not

00:38:12.319 --> 00:38:13.139
 depend upon

00:38:13.139 --> 00:38:13.539
 him

00:38:13.539 --> 00:38:16.460
 let me back

00:38:16.460 --> 00:38:17.019
 up and ask

00:38:17.019 --> 00:38:17.579
 this

00:38:17.579 --> 00:38:19.900
 are you

00:38:19.900 --> 00:38:20.380
 here this

00:38:20.380 --> 00:38:20.860
 morning

00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:22.420
 and you're

00:38:22.420 --> 00:38:23.019
 tired of

00:38:23.019 --> 00:38:23.800
 living the

00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:24.820
 life you've

00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:25.440
 been living

00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:29.699
 it's gotten

00:38:29.699 --> 00:38:30.360
 you nowhere

00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:32.639
 it's given

00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:33.460
 you nothing

00:38:33.460 --> 00:38:34.579
 but heartache

00:38:34.579 --> 00:38:35.199
 and trouble

00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:36.659
 and defeat

00:38:36.659 --> 00:38:39.019
 and you're

00:38:39.019 --> 00:38:39.460
 here this

00:38:39.460 --> 00:38:39.880
 morning

00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:40.679
 and I want

00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:41.460
 you to know

00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:42.280
 that I can

00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:42.960
 introduce you

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:43.619
 to someone

00:38:43.619 --> 00:38:44.380
 who can give

00:38:44.380 --> 00:38:44.980
 you victory

00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:45.940
 in your life

00:38:45.940 --> 00:38:47.000
 every day

00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:47.980
 and that person

00:38:47.980 --> 00:38:48.800
 is Jesus

00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:49.400
 Christ

00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:50.240
 the son of

00:38:50.240 --> 00:38:50.599
 God

00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:51.539
 the savior

00:38:51.539 --> 00:38:52.880
 of the world

00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:55.800
 he wants to

00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:56.400
 live in your

00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:57.019
 heart

00:38:57.019 --> 00:38:59.460
 in a moment

00:38:59.460 --> 00:39:00.019
 when we have

00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:00.720
 our invitation

00:39:00.720 --> 00:39:01.460
 if you would

00:39:01.460 --> 00:39:01.900
 just come

00:39:01.900 --> 00:39:02.460
 forward

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:03.539
 I'll be glad

00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:04.139
 to share

00:39:04.139 --> 00:39:04.800
 with you

00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:05.619
 how you can

00:39:05.619 --> 00:39:06.220
 ask Jesus

00:39:06.220 --> 00:39:06.780
 Christ

00:39:06.780 --> 00:39:07.619
 into your

00:39:07.619 --> 00:39:08.139
 heart

00:39:08.139 --> 00:39:09.800
 and to know

00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:10.220
 him

00:39:10.219 --> 00:39:10.779
 as your

00:39:10.779 --> 00:39:11.459
 personal

00:39:11.459 --> 00:39:12.279
 savior

00:39:12.279 --> 00:39:13.559
 perhaps this

00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:14.059
 morning you

00:39:14.059 --> 00:39:14.639
 would come

00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:15.159
 during the

00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:15.619
 invitation

00:39:15.619 --> 00:39:16.039
 and just

00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:16.759
 pray at the

00:39:16.759 --> 00:39:17.159
 altar

00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:20.159
 I know this

00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:20.619
 isn't a

00:39:20.619 --> 00:39:21.119
 traditional

00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:22.319
 father's day

00:39:22.319 --> 00:39:23.099
 message

00:39:23.099 --> 00:39:23.959
 but the

00:39:23.959 --> 00:39:24.779
 message is

00:39:24.779 --> 00:39:25.139
 to all

00:39:25.139 --> 00:39:25.519
 men

00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:27.179
 all women

00:39:27.179 --> 00:39:29.219
 all young

00:39:29.219 --> 00:39:29.719
 people

00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.000
 to all

00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:32.579
 that has

00:39:32.579 --> 00:39:33.439
 ears to

00:39:33.439 --> 00:39:33.839
 hear

00:39:33.839 --> 00:39:35.179
 let them

00:39:35.179 --> 00:39:35.579
 hear

00:39:35.579 --> 00:39:38.699
 God

00:39:38.699 --> 00:39:39.279
 has called

00:39:39.279 --> 00:39:39.539
 you

00:39:39.539 --> 00:39:40.000
 and set

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.179
 you

00:39:40.179 --> 00:39:40.739
 aside

00:39:40.739 --> 00:39:41.500
 for a

00:39:41.500 --> 00:39:42.019
 purpose

00:39:42.019 --> 00:39:45.059
 may you

00:39:45.059 --> 00:39:45.679
 find that

00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:46.259
 purpose

00:39:46.259 --> 00:39:47.319
 so that

00:39:47.319 --> 00:39:47.759
 you may

00:39:47.759 --> 00:39:48.380
 find

00:39:48.380 --> 00:39:51.019
 the joy

00:39:51.019 --> 00:39:52.519
 in living

00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:54.500
 in Christ

00:39:54.500 --> 00:39:56.039
 even

00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:57.420
 in an

00:39:57.420 --> 00:39:58.239
 ungodly

00:39:58.239 --> 00:39:59.420
 world

00:39:59.420 --> 00:40:00.559
 let's bow

00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:00.940
 together

00:40:00.940 --> 00:40:01.400
 father

00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:03.200
 we thank

00:40:03.200 --> 00:40:03.700
 you for

00:40:03.700 --> 00:40:04.460
 your word

00:40:04.460 --> 00:40:05.660
 that encourages

00:40:05.660 --> 00:40:06.320
 us

00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:07.920
 your word

00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:08.460
 that just

00:40:08.460 --> 00:40:09.740
 lifts us

00:40:09.740 --> 00:40:10.960
 to places

00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:12.079
 we've never

00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:13.920
 even imagined

00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:14.619
 being

00:40:14.619 --> 00:40:15.800
 because

00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:17.240
 it's you

00:40:17.240 --> 00:40:20.740
 father if

00:40:20.740 --> 00:40:21.360
 there's one

00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:21.840
 here this

00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:22.300
 morning

00:40:22.300 --> 00:40:24.240
 that has

00:40:24.240 --> 00:40:24.639
 never

00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:25.760
 experienced

00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:26.599
 the joy

00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:27.400
 of your

00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:28.180
 salvation

00:40:28.179 --> 00:40:29.179
 may this

00:40:29.179 --> 00:40:29.639
 morning

00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:30.519
 be the

00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:31.039
 time

00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:31.359
 that they

00:40:31.359 --> 00:40:31.759
 come to

00:40:31.759 --> 00:40:31.940
 know

00:40:31.940 --> 00:40:32.460
 Christ

00:40:32.460 --> 00:40:33.000
 we

 church

00:40:34.059 --> 00:40:34.960
 invites

00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:35.199
 them

00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:35.960
 to come

00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:36.980
 and to

00:40:36.980 --> 00:40:37.319
 receive
