WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.179 Well, good evening. 00:00:05.339 --> 00:00:09.220 If you have not been here for the last couple of weeks, you'll know we are continuing in 00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:11.140 our series in the book of Ephesians. 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.519 We're looking at the end of Ephesians chapter 4. 00:00:16.580 --> 00:00:20.179 Someone have a page number for me on that in the Pew Bible. 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.039 9.78 in the Pew Bible. 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.240 If you want to turn with me to Ephesians. 00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:33.519 And what we've already seen is that the book of Ephesians lays out the first three chapters 00:00:33.519 --> 00:00:36.640 about the work of Christ in Christ. 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.879 The work of redemption that he has done and the calling he has placed on our life to be 00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:43.420 his because of this redemption. 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.980 And then chapter 4 through 6 is what does it mean to live this out? 00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:47.700 All right. 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:48.280 What are we doing here? 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:48.879 Sorry. 00:00:48.980 --> 00:00:49.340 That's me. 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:51.019 I'm banging against my beard here. 00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:52.579 So we'll try to fix that. 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:53.239 So all right. 00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:54.340 See how we go. 00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:54.759 All right. 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:55.119 Here we go. 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.059 So 4 through 6 is how do we live that out? 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:03.619 It's a practical instructions about how it is that we now then as Christians are called 00:01:03.619 --> 00:01:04.299 to live. 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.120 You may be here tonight. 00:01:06.219 --> 00:01:07.620 You may be exploring Christianity. 00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:12.879 And hopefully as you'll hear it, you will see some of the connections between the way 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.840 Christians fail and the Christians succeed in doing this. 00:01:15.979 --> 00:01:22.019 And also the wellspring out of which Christians seek to and are called to by the scriptures to 00:01:22.019 --> 00:01:22.939 live a different life. 00:01:22.939 --> 00:01:27.980 If you're a Christian here tonight, hopefully you will see how the connection between chapters 00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:30.819 1 through 3 and chapters 4 through 6 actually work together. 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:37.780 And you'll see how the great news that Jesus died on the cross for your sins can actually 00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:41.039 change how you interact with people on a day-to-day basis. 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:42.739 Because that's kind of where we're in. 00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:45.539 We are down in the weeds of how do we live? 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:46.759 How do we then live? 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.800 So I'm going to read chapter 4. 00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:50.960 I'm going to give a bunch of... 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:52.660 I'm going to read a bunch of the passage. 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:53.900 We're not going to look at a lot of it. 00:01:53.980 --> 00:01:55.760 But I want to make sure we have the context. 00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:02.740 Because what Paul has said right before in verses 17 through 24 is what Paul has said 00:02:02.740 --> 00:02:09.319 is God has now in Christ done something that when you believe in him, you are now made 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:09.819 new. 00:02:09.819 --> 00:02:16.299 And the command then is to live more and more out of this new life that God has given you. 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.639 And in order to do that, what you have to do is take off the old part. 00:02:19.979 --> 00:02:24.759 You have to forsake your old patterns of living, the things that shaped you before you knew 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:25.199 God. 00:02:25.659 --> 00:02:30.579 And now, because you know God, because you know this redemptive work in his life, how 00:02:30.579 --> 00:02:32.060 is it supposed to be different? 00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:35.280 And verses 17 through 24 give that framework. 00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:39.719 And then verses 25 through chapter 5 verse 2 give some real specifics. 00:02:39.939 --> 00:02:41.879 And we're going to jump in tonight. 00:02:42.939 --> 00:02:48.659 So let's read this scripture together and then we'll take a look at it. 00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:51.980 Now I say this and testify in the Lord. 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.400 You must no longer walk as the Gentiles do in the futility of their minds. 00:02:56.780 --> 00:03:01.620 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance 00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:03.759 that is in them due to the hardness of their heart. 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:10.680 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:11.740 kind of impurity. 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:18.080 But that is not the way you learn Christ, assuming that you have heard about him and were taught 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.240 in him and as the truth is in Jesus. 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:26.200 To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through 00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:27.740 deceitful desires. 00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:33.980 And to be renewed in the spirit of your minds and to put on the new self, created after 00:03:33.980 --> 00:03:37.120 the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:45.580 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each of you speak the truth with his neighbor. 00:03:46.219 --> 00:03:49.740 For we are members of one of another. 00:03:50.379 --> 00:03:52.860 Be angry and do not sin. 00:03:52.860 --> 00:03:57.540 Do not let the son go down on your anger and give no opportunity to the devil. 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:03.600 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his 00:04:03.600 --> 00:04:07.980 own hands so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:15.300 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up as 00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:18.439 fits the occasion that it may give grace to those who hear. 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:24.040 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:32.620 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you along 00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:33.740 with all malice. 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:41.319 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you. 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:48.120 Therefore, be imitators of God as beloved children and walk in love as Christ loved us and gave 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:53.519 himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:56.219 Will you pray with me? 00:04:56.459 --> 00:05:01.939 Lord, we thank you for this word and thank you for that Paul has written them to us so 00:05:01.939 --> 00:05:07.539 that we might know of your great work of redemption in Christ and so that we might know how to live. 00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:15.920 Lord, help us to not only know how to, but help us to see, Lord, how you empower us and are able, 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:23.460 Lord, to help us change so that we might put on this new self that you give us in Christ. 00:05:24.379 --> 00:05:28.040 Lord, will you be with us tonight to do this? 00:05:28.100 --> 00:05:29.160 We pray in Jesus' name. 00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:30.060 Amen. 00:05:30.060 --> 00:05:30.180 Amen. 00:05:31.980 --> 00:05:32.579 All right. 00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:39.060 So we are going to look tonight specifically at the topic of anger and forgiveness. 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:47.959 So obviously there's a lot of things in this section that we could take out and really delve into. 00:05:48.100 --> 00:05:52.519 But as we planned this, we thought, you know, this is true in most of our lives. 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.920 If you're a parent, you know that you have an anger problem. 00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:01.580 If you're not a parent, you might be getting by, skating by with thinking you probably don't. 00:06:02.740 --> 00:06:06.600 But there's a great book out by David Powlison called Good and Angry. 00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:10.520 And chapter two of it is titled, the chapter is titled, 00:06:10.819 --> 00:06:15.160 Everyone, including you, has a serious anger problem. 00:06:15.939 --> 00:06:18.840 And the whole chapter says, yes, period. 00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:20.759 And then there are questions afterwards. 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:27.779 And he just sort of posits, the truth is we all struggle with this in different ways. 00:06:28.579 --> 00:06:30.519 And so we thought it was worth exploring. 00:06:30.939 --> 00:06:32.000 And so we're going to look at it. 00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:33.079 We're going to delve into it. 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:34.159 We're going to talk at it. 00:06:34.180 --> 00:06:41.159 Obviously, the passage, the verses that are particularly pertinent that I'm going to sort of hang this message on tonight. 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.199 Verse 26 and 27. 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:45.199 And then verses 31 and 32. 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:50.479 So, and I just have three points that come from that. 00:06:50.939 --> 00:06:52.099 Be angry and do not sin. 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:57.699 Then the second one is going to be, do not let the sun go down on your anger and give the devil an opportunity. 00:06:58.219 --> 00:07:01.899 And the third one has to do with verses 31 and 32. 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.279 Put off all these things, but put on something else. 00:07:05.419 --> 00:07:07.219 Forgive as the Lord has given you. 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.219 So those are the three things that we're going to talk about tonight. 00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:15.360 As I thought about this, goodness gracious, I would, you know, do we have time? 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.760 Can we go for like an hour and a half or two hours? 00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:20.860 Because there's so much to say about this topic. 00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:25.880 I'm going to hope that and pray that the things that I prepared are going to be useful for us tonight. 00:07:26.260 --> 00:07:29.280 So first one, Paul lays this out. 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.520 He says in verse 26, be angry and do not sin. 00:07:33.580 --> 00:07:38.540 Now for some of you, that is a contradictory statement from the very beginning. 00:07:38.540 --> 00:07:41.920 Because you think, how is that possible? 00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:45.560 What is the nature of anger that he is talking about? 00:07:46.520 --> 00:07:46.620 Right? 00:07:48.640 --> 00:07:52.120 Paulus and in this book, Good and Angry, which I highly recommend to all of you. 00:07:52.200 --> 00:07:52.920 You can go read it. 00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:54.100 It might be down in our bookstall. 00:07:54.200 --> 00:07:56.060 If not, come see me and we'll help you find it. 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:06.920 He says that anger is best defined as an active displeasure towards something that is important enough for us to care about. 00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:11.180 Anger is, there's a response to it, right? 00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:18.620 Anger is almost always a response to something that we see, that we hear, that happens to us, that we encounter in the world. 00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:20.760 And it is an evaluation of it. 00:08:20.820 --> 00:08:24.820 We see this and we think that there's something wrong with that. 00:08:25.020 --> 00:08:27.920 And that's why we have this active displeasure towards it. 00:08:28.540 --> 00:08:31.680 And in this evaluation then, there is a response. 00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:35.920 And it's, response comes partly because we care about it. 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.399 People who don't care about anything don't get angry. 00:08:40.479 --> 00:08:46.459 There's something else seriously wrong going on with that because our hearts weren't made to not care about anything. 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:54.259 But they might actually get away with not caring about anything and not getting angry because of it. 00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:56.939 But most of us, we do find this, right? 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:05.779 There is something that we care about enough to have these responses when we see that there's an active displeasure towards something that is wrong. 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:12.279 Now, the question that rises up is, is it possible to do this without sinning? 00:09:13.959 --> 00:09:16.039 Now, some of you are going, well, we know this. 00:09:16.179 --> 00:09:17.839 We know the answer already, right? 00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:20.019 In fact, there is. 00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:26.480 The Bible describes God as being a God of anger at times, right? 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:27.620 Now, here's the thing. 00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:33.139 Some of you, when I said that, just thought, yep, he's like my father. 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:39.980 And when I messed up at home, he would whip out his belt and he'd beat the living daylights out of me. 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:41.720 And that's what God is like. 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:46.500 And I can't believe I'm sitting here in this church listening to you preach to me about a God like that. 00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:47.679 Hold on. 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:53.859 Give me a chance to try and shape your mind about what kind of God he really is. 00:09:53.859 --> 00:09:58.179 Because that is a caricature that is not true in the Bible. 00:09:58.439 --> 00:10:02.879 Although there are times when the church has proclaimed him like that. 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:08.539 And there are times when we have experienced Christians saying that is what God is like. 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.679 But that, in fact, is not the God of the Bible. 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:17.519 Now, there are some of you that are on the other opposite end going, I don't believe he's talking about this. 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.779 The God I believe in is a God of grace and a God of mercy. 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.479 He could never be angry about anything. 00:10:24.939 --> 00:10:29.579 He would never have this active displeasure towards me. 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:37.939 Isn't God there to redeem me so that I can feel good about myself and to rescue me from my self-condemnation? 00:10:37.940 --> 00:10:42.820 And again, what I would say is, hold on. 00:10:43.160 --> 00:10:48.360 Because what I hope you will see is that a God who is angry is actually a good thing. 00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:53.320 When he is angry at the right things and when he expresses it in the right ways. 00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:56.440 And in fact, this is the definition of God's anger. 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:08.040 When Moses, having been delivered from Egypt, brought into the wilderness, brought up the mountain of Mount Sinai. 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:13.680 God coming down to meet with him and giving him instructions on how to be God's people. 00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:15.580 Which is what the Ten Commandments are. 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.160 And Moses said, who are you God? 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.020 How can I know what you really are? 00:11:24.460 --> 00:11:25.200 Do you remember this? 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.040 It actually is, well, there's a lot more context to it. 00:11:28.180 --> 00:11:34.020 But basically, Moses at one point in this interaction is saying, God, how do I know who you are? 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:38.900 And God says, Moses, hide yourself in this cleft of a rock and I will pass by. 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.000 And Exodus 34 says this. 00:11:42.560 --> 00:11:49.259 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 00:11:49.259 --> 00:12:01.799 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, the Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.720 Keeping steadfast love for thousands. 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.519 Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:12.199 But who will by no means clear the guilty. 00:12:13.199 --> 00:12:18.220 Visiting the iniquity of the fathers and the children and the children's children to the third and fourth generation. 00:12:18.579 --> 00:12:22.980 And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped. 00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:25.779 So what do you see here? 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:30.960 When God wanted to make known, make himself known to Moses, what did he say? 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:38.960 I am the God who is merciful and gracious, compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness. 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:43.960 And when you know the story of the Old Testament, you know how many times these people doubted him. 00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:46.220 How many times they complained to him. 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:47.519 Why aren't you good? 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:49.160 Why aren't you taking care of me? 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.060 Why haven't you fixed our problems? 00:12:51.300 --> 00:12:52.639 How can I trust you? 00:12:52.680 --> 00:12:54.300 Over and over and over again. 00:12:55.080 --> 00:13:03.840 And God comes and says, no, I am the God who is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness. 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:10.340 But I am also the God who will not leave the guilty unpunished. 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:15.460 And this is the crux of the nature of God's anger towards us. 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:22.980 Because when God sees something that is wrong, he needs to call it wrong. 00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:27.980 If God didn't see things that were wrong in the world. 00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:29.580 If God didn't see sin. 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:31.240 If God didn't see evil. 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:34.860 If God didn't see unrighteousness and call it that. 00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:38.980 Then he wouldn't be good at all. 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.580 He would be morally completely neutral. 00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:44.620 And anything goes. 00:13:46.060 --> 00:13:48.620 And each one of you, if you stop and think about it. 00:13:48.779 --> 00:13:51.139 There is something that is wrong. 00:13:52.419 --> 00:13:54.659 It may be socioeconomic injustice. 00:13:55.060 --> 00:13:56.899 It may be global conflict. 00:13:56.899 --> 00:14:03.720 It may be the personal suffering that you or others have experienced at the hands of other people. 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:09.259 But each of you, if you stop and think about there is something that you know is wrong. 00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:17.500 And how important is it to you that God stands with you in that and says, yes, that is wrong. 00:14:17.500 --> 00:14:21.000 And when we know that he calls it wrong. 00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:25.059 That is so important for you to know that he is a good God. 00:14:25.059 --> 00:14:31.559 This, in fact, is one of the most amazing things. 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:37.299 Is that when God has active displeasure towards something that is important enough to care about. 00:14:37.439 --> 00:14:40.479 God always cares about the most important things. 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:47.439 And his active displeasure is always perfectly weighted towards the wrong that is done. 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:51.260 He sees all the sin and all the wrong in the world. 00:14:51.580 --> 00:14:55.600 And he promises that he will not leave any of it unpunished. 00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:59.860 He will vindicate what is right and punish what is wrong. 00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:02.680 He will not just say, I don't care. 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.100 The problem is that we don't always trust him in that, do we? 00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:18.040 Partly because we've thought, well, if God could fix it and he hasn't, then how can he be good, right? 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:21.320 There's a whole mystery there. 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.240 I can't get into the whole problem of evil tonight. 00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:34.379 But I'm just going to say that the reality is that we often can't imagine God's anger being unlike our anger. 00:15:34.379 --> 00:15:44.519 All of your experience of anger has been mediated towards you that you've experienced through a sinful person who is imperfect and limited. 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:50.200 And we often extrapolate onto God our own problems. 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:53.379 And what is the problem with our anger? 00:15:53.700 --> 00:15:54.779 Well, this is fun. 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:59.679 Let's delve into our own hearts a little bit to think about what is it, what is the problem with anger? 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:13.179 If God is a good God who, and his anger is a good kind of anger because it sees things that are wrong and he promises that he won't forsake it, that he won't just overlook it, right? 00:16:13.339 --> 00:16:15.599 Then what's wrong with our anger, right? 00:16:16.239 --> 00:16:19.139 Well, all right, let's talk about this for a minute. 00:16:19.359 --> 00:16:20.299 A couple of things, right? 00:16:21.459 --> 00:16:26.359 Fundamentally, one of the problems is that our anger is almost always self-oriented. 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:32.460 All you have to do is to know a two-year-old, to know this, right? 00:16:33.139 --> 00:16:36.820 I am angry because I am not getting what I want. 00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:37.800 I'm hungry. 00:16:38.060 --> 00:16:38.899 I'm tired. 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.620 I want that toy. 00:16:40.980 --> 00:16:47.980 I want my sister to do what I want him to do or want her to do what I want her to do, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.680 It starts very young and it is deeply ingrained in us. 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:58.799 We get angry when the guy cuts in front of us on Elm Street because that's where I was going. 00:16:58.939 --> 00:17:00.819 You just got in my way. 00:17:01.199 --> 00:17:02.779 That's where I go. 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:05.379 You can't do that. 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:07.379 And we get angry. 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:13.559 We get angry because we are so desperately self-centered so often. 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:24.240 And when other people do things that don't serve our kingdom, that don't fit into our vision of how life ought to be, we get angry. 00:17:25.879 --> 00:17:27.519 And the problem with that is two things. 00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:31.379 One is that sometimes we think things are wrong when they're not wrong. 00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:36.200 The classic marital problem of which way do you put the toilet paper and the toilet roll. 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:37.779 It really doesn't matter. 00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:43.339 But if you've been married, you know at some point it may not be the toilet paper roll, but there will be something. 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:47.359 Something is going to happen where you're like, why do you do it that way? 00:17:47.859 --> 00:17:48.480 And you know what? 00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:49.559 There's nothing wrong with it. 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.440 It's just not the way you like to do it. 00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:53.420 And that's what happens. 00:17:53.460 --> 00:17:55.440 And we get angry about these things. 00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:04.059 So that's part of the way that our anger is expressed wrongly is when we call things wrong that just aren't wrong. 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:05.840 They're just different. 00:18:06.080 --> 00:18:08.100 And they're different from the way I want to do it. 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.380 So it thwarts our will and it threatens our ego. 00:18:11.820 --> 00:18:12.740 And so we get angry. 00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:28.799 The other thing that's wrong with our anger is that we usually or we often want to exact revenge or somehow sit in judgment and bring punishment to people who we think have done wrong. 00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:43.579 Even when we see something that's wrong, we so often want to be the judge, jury, and executioner to bring the condemnation that that wrong deserves. 00:18:44.579 --> 00:18:53.779 And so when my child disobeys me, when I respond in anger, I want them to feel my wrath. 00:18:53.980 --> 00:18:56.000 I want them to feel it. 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.119 I don't beat my kids. 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.079 But I want them to know how angry I am. 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:09.619 And it is possible as a parent to do that without sinning. 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:12.779 But I don't do it that way most of the time. 00:19:13.099 --> 00:19:15.720 I do it because I want to punish them. 00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:23.759 I want to bring upon them pain and hurt because I'm angry with them. 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:31.819 And even if they have disobeyed me, my response is out of control. 00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:33.799 It's over. 00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:35.599 And ultimately, it's selfish. 00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:39.720 Because ultimately, it's that I want them to get in line. 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:47.680 And so I'm going to bring whatever pain I think is necessary for them to get in line so that my world is back into the way it ought to be. 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:48.279 Okay? 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:49.480 Okay? 00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:58.339 Now, one other thing I want to say about this is that there are lots of different kinds of ways that we can show anger. 00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:01.440 I just want to list these off. 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.399 The Pauluson book is really helpful in this. 00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:08.399 Sometimes we're angry with irritability. 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.780 Do you know people who are just kind of hair trigger? 00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:18.220 If you don't do it just the right way, you're always walking on eggshells wondering if they're going to respond badly because you don't do it quite the way they want you to? 00:20:18.540 --> 00:20:19.519 That's irritability. 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:27.320 Second thing is someone who's argumentative, who tends to be quarrelsome or pick a fight to be defensive. 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:34.500 It's so easy for us to express our anger in always going at people. 00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:36.420 Well, why are you that way? 00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:38.100 Well, why are you right? 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:39.840 Prove yourself to me. 00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:41.360 Explain yourself to me. 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.700 I didn't do anything wrong. 00:20:42.800 --> 00:20:43.400 You must be. 00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:45.100 Why do you have a problem? 00:20:45.140 --> 00:20:46.080 I don't have a problem. 00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:50.640 This kind of aggressiveness is one of the ways that we express our anger. 00:20:52.100 --> 00:20:57.120 A third way that we show our anger is by holding on to bitterness. 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.580 Well, you know that person, what they did to me. 00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:04.400 Never going to forgive that. 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:06.000 Never going to forget that. 00:21:06.420 --> 00:21:09.779 It doesn't always blow up. 00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:10.779 It doesn't always come out. 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.580 It doesn't often. 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:16.640 Bitterness isn't even expressed directly towards the person where anger is. 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:23.740 A fourth way that we show anger is being violent. 00:21:25.020 --> 00:21:29.740 We attack people and we find pleasure in their pain. 00:21:30.100 --> 00:21:36.580 A fifth way that we do it is passive aggression. 00:21:37.259 --> 00:21:37.620 Right? 00:21:37.860 --> 00:21:39.520 You guys know this word passive aggressive? 00:21:39.800 --> 00:21:40.340 What does it mean? 00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:43.000 Well, it means I'm being aggressive without looking like it. 00:21:43.139 --> 00:21:43.319 Right? 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:46.959 I'm being passively attacking you and showing my anger. 00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:52.799 Often those people who do it can be unaware that they're doing it. 00:21:53.619 --> 00:21:55.639 It's not always a conscious ploy. 00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:58.279 Sometimes it's an unconscious pattern. 00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:06.500 When you withdraw from a conversation or from a relationship because they did something you didn't like. 00:22:06.500 --> 00:22:10.279 But rather than blowing up at it, you just, I'm going to pull back. 00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:21.339 One of the interesting things about being passive aggressive is that it often has secondary effects like depression and lethargy and pessimism and cynicism. 00:22:22.139 --> 00:22:27.920 We internalize all that feeling towards ourselves and it does great damage to our souls. 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:36.160 And finally, there's a, one of the ways that we express our anger is self-righteousness. 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.240 Where we exalt ourselves and say, what's wrong with you? 00:22:41.340 --> 00:22:43.640 Why can't you be as good as I think I am? 00:22:46.080 --> 00:22:48.160 And how we hold that over people. 00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:53.920 And how it's one of the ways that we show our anger at the wrong that we see in other people. 00:22:53.920 --> 00:23:02.920 And often in ourselves, often self-righteousness is a way to cover up the wrong we see in ourselves by pretending that it's not there. 00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:12.940 So friends, Paul says, be angry, but do not sin. 00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:21.480 Recognize all of these different aspects of how we can be angry and sin and put them off. 00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:24.819 We saw the list in verse 31, right? 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:28.720 Bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, slander. 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:30.319 It's interesting. 00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:36.640 Some of those words are actually, like the word for slander is actually the word to blaspheme. 00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:41.579 To speak something untrue about someone in an attacking or destructive sort of way. 00:23:46.579 --> 00:23:48.640 These are the things that we're meant to put off. 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:50.200 Right? 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:54.259 Um, what does that look like? 00:23:54.579 --> 00:23:55.940 What does it look like in your life? 00:23:55.980 --> 00:23:57.240 What does it look like in my life? 00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.940 Really briefly, sometimes anger looks like blowing up. 00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:07.079 I'll never forget a number of years ago, a young child was visiting our house, our backyard. 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:08.460 There was a flower growing. 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:09.460 It was late spring. 00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:10.720 It was a beautiful stem. 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.180 The buds were just about to burst into this beautiful thing. 00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:25.940 And this child, who was no more than two, and doing what two-year-olds do, took a stick and wandered around and just kind of whacked things and whacked the bud right off the top of the flower. 00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:28.820 I'd had a bad week. 00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:30.000 I'd had a bad month. 00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:31.000 I'd had a bad year. 00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:32.599 I was under a lot of stress. 00:24:32.779 --> 00:24:33.960 And I exploded. 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:40.079 And I am, it is, it stands out in me as one of those times when God laid bare my heart. 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:41.640 And it was really ugly. 00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.420 I roared at the poor two-year-old. 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:46.880 There's no other word for it. 00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:47.819 I roared at him. 00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:57.339 I was so angry that he had ruined this thing that I had actually been anticipating watching it bloom and seeing the beauty of it. 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:01.819 And holding on to that as something, making it much bigger than it needed to be. 00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:03.659 He was just being a two-year-old kid. 00:25:04.939 --> 00:25:11.839 And yeah, there's probably a proper discipline of don't hit the flowers in the garden, you know, that would have been appropriate. 00:25:12.399 --> 00:25:13.399 That's not what I did. 00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:28.360 So, I can think about, you know, maybe you've experienced this if you've gone on a date and you've been really hopeful that it's going to be like this really sweet time or this really special time. 00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:31.300 You had particular expectations, what it was going to be like. 00:25:31.360 --> 00:25:35.980 And then half an hour in, you realize it's not going to look like that at all. 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:39.400 Maybe your date is having a bad day. 00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:46.580 I can think of times when it just, my late wife and I, we would just miss each other on what we thought was important. 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.940 And rather than saying, okay, I love you. 00:25:53.060 --> 00:25:53.820 Let's engage. 00:25:54.120 --> 00:25:54.860 Let's do this. 00:25:55.140 --> 00:25:57.120 In my disappointment, I would pull back. 00:25:57.340 --> 00:25:57.560 Okay. 00:25:58.060 --> 00:25:59.380 It's going to be that kind of date, huh? 00:25:59.780 --> 00:26:00.040 All right. 00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:05.860 Well, hope you can carry the weight on it because I'm pulling back here. 00:26:05.860 --> 00:26:08.920 My disappointment, I'm not here anymore. 00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:13.940 You know, we'll get through this and we'll just go home and get on with life because what's the point? 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.720 But you see how that came from an angry response. 00:26:19.120 --> 00:26:22.100 I was disappointed and in my disappointment, I was angry. 00:26:22.180 --> 00:26:29.060 And I used that anger and expressed in a way that then sucked the life out of this opportunity for relationship. 00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:33.519 I punished my wife because she had disappointed me. 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.940 Probably in a way she didn't even know because I hadn't said anything. 00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:42.559 Thirdly, anger can be frustrating and complaining. 00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:46.460 Again, it's hard for me to not think about this. 00:26:46.579 --> 00:26:52.339 Every morning I get up and I have to decide how much do I care that my kids get to school on time? 00:26:52.339 --> 00:27:00.139 And how much nagging do I need to do to get them out of bed, dressed, fed, and into the car at a reasonable time? 00:27:00.140 --> 00:27:04.840 And how easy it is for me to be frustrated. 00:27:05.560 --> 00:27:08.440 How easy it is for me to be gracious and gracious and gracious. 00:27:08.580 --> 00:27:10.200 And then I look at the clock and I'm like, no more grace. 00:27:10.280 --> 00:27:10.840 Let's go. 00:27:11.100 --> 00:27:12.360 I am tired of you. 00:27:12.580 --> 00:27:13.800 No, I won't talk to you. 00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:15.259 No, I'm not going to listen to your answer. 00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:18.140 Just get your shoes on and get out the door. 00:27:18.140 --> 00:27:21.920 Maybe you don't know anything about that. 00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:27.720 But as you can see, I can embody that really easily. 00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:35.000 Anyway, and so there's so many ways in which we do sin in our anger. 00:27:35.340 --> 00:27:41.840 There's so many ways in which we do exalt ourselves and inflict this on other people. 00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:54.179 And it's not a proper response to a wrong that we see, but is either an outsized response to a real wrong or an irrational response to a wrong that isn't even there. 00:27:57.019 --> 00:28:02.539 But it is possible because of God to not have to live there. 00:28:02.879 --> 00:28:04.779 And this is what Paul walks us through. 00:28:04.879 --> 00:28:06.059 We don't have to stay there. 00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:12.500 The second point that I want to talk about tonight, verse 26, the second half in verse 27. 00:28:12.980 --> 00:28:18.940 He says, do not let the sun go down on your anger and give no opportunity to the devil. 00:28:20.399 --> 00:28:26.399 It's so fascinating because what Paul is saying is, look, you will get angry, right? 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.579 He's not even saying like, if you get angry, there's no conditional here. 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:32.440 He's saying you will get angry. 00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:38.220 But recognize how important it is to respond properly in that moment. 00:28:38.360 --> 00:28:44.980 And in this verse particularly, he's talking about the necessity of limiting our anger. 00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:51.100 Because he knows that anger festers in our hearts. 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:57.420 That anger gets inside of us and it eats us up from the inside out. 00:28:59.380 --> 00:29:00.799 Here's a question for you. 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:09.879 When you've had a frustrating conversation or you saw something, have you ever lost the conversation in your head when you've talked to that other person about it? 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:14.720 Have you ever gone to them and said, look, you're wrong. 00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:18.639 And they've come back and said, no, look, there wasn't anything wrong there. 00:29:18.899 --> 00:29:20.680 And you go, oh, okay, you're right. 00:29:21.399 --> 00:29:22.419 Have you ever done that? 00:29:22.639 --> 00:29:27.299 When you replay the things that you're angry about in your head, you are always right. 00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:27.339 Right. 00:29:27.339 --> 00:29:27.379 Right. 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.619 Because that's the way we work in our sin. 00:29:36.259 --> 00:29:39.940 And it situates in our hearts. 00:29:39.940 --> 00:29:47.759 And unless we address it, unless we do something about it, it will center and it will begin to color our interactions. 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:56.980 It colors our interactions not only with the particular situation and the particular person that we are angry with at that moment, but it colors all of our interactions. 00:29:56.980 --> 00:30:01.759 We often get angry with other people because of something that's completely unrelated. 00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:03.940 Have you ever experienced that? 00:30:04.299 --> 00:30:12.860 I've had all this stress at home and then I come into work and this little thing happens and I just, I can't handle it. 00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:13.880 Well, why is that? 00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:20.480 It's not because the thing at work is so bad, but it's because of all the other anger that I haven't addressed in my life. 00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:22.279 And now suddenly here it is. 00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:24.279 Right. 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:41.660 Part of what it, part of the, what the gospel allows us to do in beginning to process our anger so that we don't let it go down on the, don't let the sun go down on our anger is this. 00:30:41.660 --> 00:30:50.820 Part of how we are called to respond to that is we need to surrender the control of judgment about things that are wrong. 00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:52.640 Right. 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:57.740 There are times when we see something that is wrong and we are rightfully angry about it. 00:31:00.840 --> 00:31:09.700 And yet part of what we need to do is to suspend or to give up our control of we've got to make that right. 00:31:09.700 --> 00:31:10.100 Right. 00:31:10.900 --> 00:31:11.340 Okay. 00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:20.580 Right anger is seeing things properly, seeing things clearly and responding properly to it. 00:31:21.080 --> 00:31:34.039 Judgment is not only seeing the wrong and internally responding to it, but it also is bringing out, meeting out punishment or bringing the pain or the condemnation. 00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:43.819 Now look, there are times and places where we have the reality of consequences. 00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:48.299 If I tell my child, I give them a pair of scissors and I say, don't cut your sister's hair. 00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:50.500 And then he cuts his sister's hair. 00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:51.259 Right. 00:31:52.220 --> 00:31:54.099 There may be consequences to that. 00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:56.420 You must give me the scissors immediately. 00:31:56.619 --> 00:31:57.940 You may no longer play with them. 00:31:57.940 --> 00:32:03.580 You may not have scissors again, unsupervised for the next month because you did not obey. 00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:04.759 You could not fall through. 00:32:05.080 --> 00:32:09.720 That's a logical, that's a helpful training consequence of it. 00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:13.680 But it is not the anger of, why did you do that? 00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:15.380 What's wrong with you? 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:16.880 You stupid child. 00:32:17.059 --> 00:32:18.019 Give me those scissors. 00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:22.559 That's the angry response that so often we fall into. 00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:28.720 And so I want to make sure that we recognize that there is a place for healthy consequences. 00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:38.740 And, you know, to take it on a more global level, if you have a spouse who has a gambling problem, right, you may be, you're recognizing there's something wrong here. 00:32:38.819 --> 00:32:40.799 And it's good to be angry about that. 00:32:40.919 --> 00:32:49.700 And you may severely limit or completely take away their access to any finances because they don't stop. 00:32:49.700 --> 00:32:54.759 But those consequences are not acts of condemnation or meeting out judgment. 00:32:55.299 --> 00:32:58.420 They're discipline in order to be helpful. 00:32:58.819 --> 00:33:01.819 This is what Hebrews 12 tells us God is like. 00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:05.220 He says everybody disciplines their children for their good. 00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:07.059 In fact, it's a sign of love. 00:33:07.140 --> 00:33:12.000 If you don't discipline your kids, you don't actually love them enough to help them see what's right and wrong. 00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:14.059 That's what God does with you. 00:33:14.500 --> 00:33:16.600 And so there is a healthy sign of discipline. 00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:21.079 That is not anger in, or that is not unrighteous anger. 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:31.699 The devil's temptation, this is why I think Paul brings it in, is for you to say, is he whispers in your ear at that moment, 00:33:32.259 --> 00:33:34.579 don't you want to play God in this situation? 00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:38.599 Don't you think you have the right to make it right? 00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:46.319 Don't you have the right to fix this and to mete out the judgment and the punishment that's necessary in this context? 00:33:47.159 --> 00:33:51.179 Don't you have the right to take control and fix this? 00:33:51.180 --> 00:34:01.000 These are the things we are to put off. 00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:06.779 This is why Paul warns us to not let sin fester in our hearts. 00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:10.500 So how do we deal with it? 00:34:10.720 --> 00:34:11.059 How do we? 00:34:11.619 --> 00:34:16.139 In some ways, what I've been talking about in these first two points have been focusing more on the put off things. 00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:17.559 How to put them off. 00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:18.940 What do we put on? 00:34:18.940 --> 00:34:21.880 What do we put on to replace it? 00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:28.220 Well, this is where verses 31 and 32, verse 32 in particular, gives us a different picture. 00:34:29.720 --> 00:34:29.900 Right? 00:34:30.300 --> 00:34:37.599 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you. 00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:42.860 The kindness that he talks about here, it's an interesting word. 00:34:42.860 --> 00:34:49.700 It's not used a lot in the Bible, but it's used, Jesus used it in Luke 6, 35, where he says, 00:34:50.700 --> 00:34:57.240 Love your enemies and do good and lend, expecting nothing in return and your reward will be great and you will have sons of the most high. 00:34:57.640 --> 00:35:03.000 For he is kind to the ungrateful and to the evil. 00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:07.199 We often think of kindness as sort of being like nice. 00:35:07.380 --> 00:35:08.300 Be nice to people. 00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:08.920 Be pleasant. 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:12.539 But God's kindness is actually much greater than that. 00:35:12.860 --> 00:35:21.579 It is an active desire to do good, even to those who deserve harm or deserve judgment or deserve our shunning. 00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:36.039 Tenderheartedness similarly has this great root of being good towards other people in the depths of your bowels, the depths of your being. 00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:37.400 Be good towards them. 00:35:39.380 --> 00:35:40.940 Well, how do we do this? 00:35:43.460 --> 00:35:44.420 Here's the thing. 00:35:45.059 --> 00:35:50.259 How has God responded to the things that are wrong in the world? 00:35:51.579 --> 00:35:54.340 Has he fixed them and eradicated them? 00:35:55.819 --> 00:35:57.519 No, he hasn't, has he? 00:35:58.380 --> 00:35:59.340 Not yet. 00:35:59.739 --> 00:36:00.400 Why not? 00:36:01.739 --> 00:36:06.259 Well, because he has a greater plan for us. 00:36:06.659 --> 00:36:16.019 The Lord, the Lord, slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness, who forgives all of our sins and our iniquities. 00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:27.739 He says, I am able to see the sin and to forgive them because I'm doing something greater. 00:36:28.179 --> 00:36:30.179 I'm doing something greater with us. 00:36:30.759 --> 00:36:38.340 And God's ability to look at the fallen world with all the evil that's in it right now and to extend forgiveness to it has two parts of it. 00:36:38.340 --> 00:36:44.720 One is, I'm not going to judge it all right now because I will do that in the end. 00:36:46.100 --> 00:36:51.680 There will be, like I said at the beginning, there will be an end where God will judge everything. 00:36:52.500 --> 00:36:54.220 Nobody's going to get away with it. 00:36:54.219 --> 00:36:57.639 That's one of our fears that drives us to anger, isn't it? 00:36:57.719 --> 00:36:59.480 But they're getting away with it. 00:37:01.779 --> 00:37:03.319 And God says, no, they won't. 00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:04.659 I see it all. 00:37:04.879 --> 00:37:06.399 And it will all be judged. 00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:09.019 But here's the other thing I'm going to do. 00:37:09.279 --> 00:37:13.279 I'm going to come and I'm going to free you from the wrong in the world. 00:37:13.459 --> 00:37:16.159 And most of all, from the wrong in your own heart. 00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:26.079 I'm going to come and rescue you from that wrong that causes my anger against you. 00:37:27.219 --> 00:37:31.239 He says, I'm going to deal with every sin and every wrongdoing that happens. 00:37:31.539 --> 00:37:34.899 And there are only one of two places where that judgment is going to happen. 00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:44.480 It will either happen at the final day when we stand before God on our own merits and try to plead our case and find that we are woefully lacking. 00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:55.639 And all of our sin and all of our irritability and all of our passive aggressiveness and all of our bitterness and all of our anger will stand before God and he will judge it. 00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:06.099 Or that sin, all of those things will be judged in the person of Jesus Christ. 00:38:06.980 --> 00:38:09.480 Friends, this is at the very heart of the gospel. 00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:14.400 That God comes to rescue us and to extend to us forgiveness. 00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:16.519 Not by overlooking sin. 00:38:16.740 --> 00:38:18.559 Not by saying it doesn't matter. 00:38:18.900 --> 00:38:22.800 Not by simply saying, oh, you know, let's just forget about it. 00:38:23.300 --> 00:38:24.340 He doesn't forget. 00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:26.000 He deals with it. 00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:30.440 He says that wrongdoing deserves punishment. 00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:32.119 And I'm going to punish it. 00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:34.460 But I'm going to... 00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:47.119 And to supine that we mark a weapon, it's just an end challenge for us, a great chase in the world. 00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:47.619 You, you do Selah's body. 00:38:47.619 --> 00:38:48.679 No, I, but... 00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:51.719 And every time that we sell our ownApp is not going to marry, you know?
