00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.480
 If you have your Bibles, I want you to turn to Matthew chapter 5.

00:00:03.459 --> 00:00:09.300
 Matthew chapter 5, a boy came to his dad and said,

00:00:09.419 --> 00:00:12.200
 Dad, I just turned 16, or this year I'm going to turn 16,

00:00:12.460 --> 00:00:16.300
 and I wonder if you'd buy me a car for my 16th birthday.

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.699
 And his dad said, I'll tell you what I'll do.

00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:23.740
 I'll sign a contract with you that if you make all A's

00:00:23.740 --> 00:00:27.820
 and if you read your Bible daily and if you get a haircut,

00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:30.780
 then I'll buy you a car for your birthday.

00:00:31.420 --> 00:00:35.460
 And the time went by and the boy's 16th birthday was approaching

00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:40.520
 and he came to his dad and said, Dad, I got straight A's in school

00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.079
 and I read my Bible daily.

00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:45.060
 Now what about that car?

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.079
 And he said, that's good, son. I'm proud of you.

00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.320
 You made straight A's. You've read your Bible.

00:00:50.859 --> 00:00:51.980
 You hadn't got a haircut.

00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:55.820
 And he said, well, Dad, I've been reading the Bible

00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:59.780
 and I found out that Jesus had long hair.

00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:02.259
 And his dad said, that's right.

00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:04.019
 And he walked everywhere he went.

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:15.859
 It's tough to raise a family today.

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:17.719
 It is.

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:19.900
 And family matters.

00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:24.880
 And so I want to spend some of these hot days this summer

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:28.160
 talking about family matters.

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.460
 I'll give you four reasons right off the bat

00:01:31.460 --> 00:01:34.260
 why I believe raising a family is tough today.

00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:37.200
 For one, we're a fallen people.

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.740
 We were born in sin.

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:44.939
 We have a sin nature to us.

00:01:44.939 --> 00:01:47.219
 And we live in a world of sin.

00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:49.659
 And we all willfully sin.

00:01:50.379 --> 00:01:54.400
 You combine that together and it makes for a fallen world,

00:01:54.579 --> 00:01:57.299
 which makes every relationship more difficult.

00:01:58.159 --> 00:01:59.939
 And so that plays into some of it.

00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:03.120
 Not only that, but our world is dark.

00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:04.459
 We live in a dark world.

00:02:05.019 --> 00:02:07.780
 And it's getting darker.

00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:10.979
 And, you know, when we say world,

00:02:11.099 --> 00:02:12.939
 really what we think about is America.

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.159
 I mean, that's really typically what we think about.

00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:17.639
 And we feel like that whatever's happening in America,

00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:19.539
 that must be what the whole world's doing.

00:02:19.659 --> 00:02:22.860
 Well, I'm telling you that that's not necessarily the case.

00:02:23.219 --> 00:02:27.400
 But in our world, right here amongst us,

00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:30.719
 we live in a dark world, goofy stuff,

00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.159
 that is kind of unexplainable in a lot of ways.

00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.159
 It's going on around us.

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.919
 And not only that, but our world is filled with social media.

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:49.539
 And I really believe that it is a primary factor of why it's tough to raise a family today.

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.019
 Because on social media, either everybody is perfect,

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.340
 or they're not.

00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.039
 And they're telling you everything that's wrong.

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:00.740
 One or the other.

00:03:00.859 --> 00:03:03.960
 There's nobody that's normal on social media, except for y'all.

00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.120
 There's nobody else that's normal on social media.

00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:08.420
 Everybody's always perfect.

00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:12.740
 And grand places are either, they're dismal,

00:03:12.819 --> 00:03:14.480
 and they need to speak to the Lord.

00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:16.480
 Instead, they just post it, you know.

00:03:17.659 --> 00:03:20.240
 So, and that makes us vulnerable.

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.620
 It makes us vulnerable to the temptation to try to be like somebody else.

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.200
 It makes us vulnerable to depression,

00:03:28.420 --> 00:03:31.140
 to temptations as well as depression.

00:03:31.139 --> 00:03:33.299
 All kinds of dangers.

00:03:33.859 --> 00:03:35.679
 Because of the evils of social media.

00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:36.479
 It's not all bad.

00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.579
 But there's so much of it bad,

00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.939
 that it has really changed our culture and changed our world.

00:03:46.219 --> 00:03:49.299
 And lastly, the fourth thing is, we're in a war.

00:03:50.339 --> 00:03:53.099
 And I'm not talking about the Middle Eastern war.

00:03:53.099 --> 00:03:56.439
 And I'm not talking about a political war.

00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.439
 I'm not even just necessarily talking about a cultural war.

00:04:01.579 --> 00:04:03.519
 We're in a spiritual war.

00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:10.819
 And I plan to spend all of this fall talking about the depths of the real war

00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:14.219
 that's going on around us.

00:04:14.419 --> 00:04:17.180
 But it affects us at the house.

00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:18.159
 It does.

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:25.260
 And when you put that we're all a fallen people together with,

00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:27.240
 we're in a war,

00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.360
 that makes for a dark situation.

00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:33.040
 We live in a dark world.

00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:34.520
 You're exposed to the darkness.

00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:36.980
 Your family's exposed to the darkness.

00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:39.200
 As much as we don't want it to be,

00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:41.340
 you're influenced by the darkness.

00:04:41.940 --> 00:04:45.000
 And your family is influenced by the darkness.

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.740
 The Apostle Paul put it this way in Ephesians 6, verse 12.

00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:52.459
 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,

00:04:52.579 --> 00:04:54.319
 but against the rulers, against the authorities,

00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:56.560
 against the cosmic powers over this present darkness,

00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.800
 against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:06.139
 Please acknowledge and let's fight it accordingly.

00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.839
 Because family matters and because it does,

00:05:09.860 --> 00:05:13.819
 I want to talk about family matters this summer.

00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:17.860
 And I want to begin with a passage that's got a phrase

00:05:17.860 --> 00:05:20.240
 that just stuck out to me.

00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:21.319
 I kind of hung on.

00:05:22.139 --> 00:05:25.420
 It's in Matthew chapter 5, beginning in verse 14.

00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:26.439
 And Jesus said,

00:05:27.719 --> 00:05:29.620
 You are the light of the world.

00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.240
 A city set on a hill cannot be hidden,

00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:35.959
 nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket,

00:05:36.539 --> 00:05:40.519
 but on a stand and it gives light to all the house.

00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:45.439
 In the same way, let your light shine before others

00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.060
 so that they may see your good works

00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:51.699
 and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

00:05:52.699 --> 00:05:58.779
 I want to focus today on the last phrase of verse 15.

00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:02.659
 And the last phrase of verse 15 says

00:06:02.659 --> 00:06:08.819
 that we are to shed light to all in the house.

00:06:08.819 --> 00:06:10.920
 How do we do that?

00:06:11.980 --> 00:06:12.959
 Be a lampstand.

00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:18.159
 Lampstands are often mentioned in Scripture.

00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.079
 They're used instead of a light bulb.

00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.839
 And they are to shed light on many manners.

00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:28.259
 The lampstand that stands out to me the most

00:06:28.259 --> 00:06:31.759
 is first described in Exodus chapter 25,

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.879
 along with a lot of other instructions

00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.139
 about the tabernacle holy place.

00:06:37.139 --> 00:06:40.719
 And very specific instructions are given

00:06:40.719 --> 00:06:42.219
 for this lampstand.

00:06:42.379 --> 00:06:45.439
 It's a large floor-standing oil lamp

00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:50.740
 that stands with six additional branches on it,

00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.279
 each that look like an almond bloom.

00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.100
 Each bloom holds oil that is to be lit.

00:07:00.100 --> 00:07:02.820
 And that was in the tabernacle,

00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:05.800
 strategically placed in front of the curtain

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:06.860
 of the Holy of Holies,

00:07:07.200 --> 00:07:10.560
 across from the table that held

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.340
 what was called the bread of presence.

00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:17.700
 Now, the bread of presence was 12 loaves

00:07:17.700 --> 00:07:21.500
 that were replaced every week on the Sabbath.

00:07:22.300 --> 00:07:27.020
 And those 12 loaves there would be removed on the Sabbath,

00:07:27.019 --> 00:07:29.719
 and the priest would eat them

00:07:29.719 --> 00:07:33.079
 and use that as their bread supply.

00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.979
 And then the new loaves would be replaced

00:07:36.979 --> 00:07:39.839
 on that table week after week.

00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:41.899
 And the point of that is,

00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:45.459
 well, the reason almond blooms are used

00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:48.039
 is because the Hebrew word for almond

00:07:48.039 --> 00:07:50.839
 means early, early waker.

00:07:51.799 --> 00:07:54.479
 In other words, God's watchfulness

00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.580
 and vigilant response to us.

00:07:57.980 --> 00:07:58.939
 It's kind of like an almond.

00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.400
 It kind of shows the signs of the times.

00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:03.200
 It blooms early.

00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.759
 And because of that, in the same way,

00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.000
 God is well aware of our circumstances.

00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:10.460
 And it reminds us of that.

00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.100
 The showbread there, the bread of presence,

00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.020
 there's 12 loaves because of the 12 tribes.

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.680
 God provides for every one of his people.

00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:23.240
 And the names, the nearness and the provision of God

00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.319
 all is symbolized in that bread.

00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:27.540
 And the point of all that is,

00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.900
 God provides.

00:08:30.939 --> 00:08:34.120
 He steadily provides our needs.

00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.680
 His blessings come again and again.

00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:40.320
 That bread was always there.

00:08:41.060 --> 00:08:43.960
 The light always shone on that bread.

00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.000
 And one of the priests' primary job

00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:51.620
 was to make sure that that lampstand never burned out.

00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:55.639
 It was the single source of light in the tabernacle,

00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:59.300
 except for God's presence in the inner sanctum.

00:08:59.860 --> 00:09:02.360
 And that light was placed there,

00:09:02.920 --> 00:09:03.780
 get this now,

00:09:04.139 --> 00:09:08.879
 to shine on the ever-present loaves of bread

00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:10.340
 called the bread of presence.

00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:11.340
 In other words,

00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.180
 people were always to know

00:09:14.180 --> 00:09:17.360
 of God's provision and God's presence.

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:19.560
 And in the same way,

00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:21.660
 just like Jesus told us,

00:09:22.160 --> 00:09:24.940
 we need to shed light for our family

00:09:24.940 --> 00:09:26.600
 in all the house,

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.200
 in many ways.

00:09:29.259 --> 00:09:30.100
 I'll tell you four things

00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:31.240
 you ought to expose your family to.

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.060
 One is you ought to expose your family to his care.

00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:35.800
 Expose them to God's care.

00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.980
 The care of the Lord for your family.

00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:43.420
 Everything that you have came from the Lord.

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.000
 I hope you realize that.

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.379
 And when you realize that,

00:09:48.460 --> 00:09:50.300
 I hope you'll tell your family that.

00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:52.680
 Families need to know that.

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.279
 We need to acknowledge that.

00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:55.560
 And we need to know it a lot

00:09:55.560 --> 00:09:56.779
 because we're often to forget it.

00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:59.860
 That means that you tell them a lot.

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.800
 That means that you faithfully give to the Lord

00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:03.960
 your tithe and your offering.

00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:04.980
 And sometimes,

00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:06.580
 when you give your tithe and offering,

00:10:06.580 --> 00:10:08.620
 you're going to do without some things

00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:09.700
 that you wish you had.

00:10:10.540 --> 00:10:12.259
 You're going to do without some things

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:13.340
 that you want.

00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:17.259
 Don't be afraid to explain the choices

00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:18.879
 that you make.

00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:20.879
 Tell your family,

00:10:20.980 --> 00:10:22.780
 a lot of people replace the tithe

00:10:22.780 --> 00:10:23.740
 with another vehicle.

00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.940
 A lot of people replace the tithe

00:10:25.940 --> 00:10:27.520
 with recreational toys.

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:29.379
 Or they take weekend outings

00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:30.139
 that we don't take.

00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:31.520
 Or they get another house.

00:10:31.640 --> 00:10:32.540
 We don't do those things.

00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:33.840
 We give to the Lord.

00:10:33.920 --> 00:10:34.580
 He provides our needs.

00:10:34.580 --> 00:10:36.780
 Could we have more stuff?

00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:37.180
 Yes.

00:10:37.300 --> 00:10:40.259
 But we believe everything that we have

00:10:40.259 --> 00:10:42.040
 is the Lord's.

00:10:42.400 --> 00:10:44.560
 And that we ought to honor Him with it.

00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:48.040
 Kids will trust the Lord

00:10:48.040 --> 00:10:52.040
 and watch Him provide our every need.

00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:56.580
 That needs to be a shining lamp

00:10:57.139 --> 00:10:59.480
 in your house at all times.

00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:01.180
 At every meal,

00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:02.940
 in every trip,

00:11:03.700 --> 00:11:05.460
 in every good gift along the way,

00:11:05.539 --> 00:11:07.519
 and every time you cannot get exactly

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:08.320
 what you want,

00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:09.720
 you need to be reminded

00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:11.700
 and you need to remind those around you,

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:12.879
 God provides.

00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:15.159
 We can trust in God.

00:11:15.899 --> 00:11:16.519
 He'll provide.

00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:17.500
 He'll take care of it.

00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.220
 So be clear to your family.

00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.420
 God's not taking what I give to Him.

00:11:22.420 --> 00:11:24.779
 I give it to Him.

00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:29.480
 I give Him cheerfully to God

00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.839
 because I want to bless God.

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.480
 God's blessed me.

00:11:34.259 --> 00:11:37.319
 And there's no ties to this.

00:11:38.059 --> 00:11:40.399
 I don't give so that God will get me out of a hole.

00:11:41.319 --> 00:11:42.679
 That's prosperity theology

00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:43.699
 and it's not in Scripture.

00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:46.319
 No, you give to God because you trust Him.

00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:48.600
 You give to God because you love Him.

00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:51.519
 You give to God because He's been more generous to you

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.600
 than He ever should have been.

00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.080
 And so therefore we give faithfully to God

00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.600
 because I want to bless God.

00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.759
 Not because I owe Him everything

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.879
 because I couldn't give Him anything anyway.

00:12:02.139 --> 00:12:04.259
 There's nothing I got that would be enough

00:12:04.259 --> 00:12:07.360
 to repay what Christ has done for my life.

00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.700
 So I give out of obedience to Him

00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:10.680
 because He tells me to

00:12:10.680 --> 00:12:12.259
 and I also give it because

00:12:12.259 --> 00:12:15.680
 I want to bless the Lord with what I have.

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:17.580
 He's given us all we have

00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:19.220
 and I want to be an obedient blessing to Him.

00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:22.200
 And I think that

00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.580
 your left hand don't need to know

00:12:24.580 --> 00:12:25.560
 what your right hand's doing.

00:12:26.680 --> 00:12:28.920
 I believe you ought to give in confidence to the Lord

00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:30.420
 and leave it between you and the Lord.

00:12:31.019 --> 00:12:32.600
 But at the same time,

00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:33.879
 without the details,

00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:36.019
 you need to share with your family

00:12:36.019 --> 00:12:37.379
 and you need to let them know

00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:39.759
 what God gives to us

00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.639
 has been entrusted to us by God

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:44.879
 and we give back to Him obediently

00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.180
 and we trust Him for the difference.

00:12:47.179 --> 00:12:49.819
 And if you don't do that,

00:12:49.979 --> 00:12:50.939
 you should do that

00:12:50.939 --> 00:12:52.239
 because you can do that.

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:54.079
 You can trust Him for the difference.

00:12:54.459 --> 00:12:55.219
 I promise you.

00:12:56.179 --> 00:12:58.500
 Expose Him to His care.

00:12:59.099 --> 00:13:00.419
 Expose Him to His lead.

00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:01.539
 Expose His lead.

00:13:01.719 --> 00:13:03.439
 Psalm 119, 105 says,

00:13:03.599 --> 00:13:05.419
 Your word is a lamp to my feet

00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:07.500
 and a light to my path.

00:13:08.419 --> 00:13:11.199
 Not only do you give God the credit

00:13:11.199 --> 00:13:14.319
 for everything in your family,

00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.900
 but you teach your children to look to the Lord

00:13:16.900 --> 00:13:19.920
 and to praise the Lord as you watch Him work.

00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.440
 But you also look to the Lord

00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:25.040
 in the decisions that you make.

00:13:26.260 --> 00:13:28.120
 Something is going to guide you

00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.200
 in the decisions that you make.

00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:32.379
 And that might be money.

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:35.200
 And that might be opportunity.

00:13:36.260 --> 00:13:37.840
 And that might be power.

00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.560
 And that might be popularity.

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:43.420
 It might be good old mammon.

00:13:44.460 --> 00:13:48.100
 And mammon is a transliterated Greek word

00:13:48.100 --> 00:13:51.040
 that speaks of the stuff

00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:53.399
 that we accumulate

00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.440
 because of the money that we make.

00:13:56.160 --> 00:13:57.680
 That's your stuff, you know.

00:13:58.399 --> 00:13:59.920
 The stuff you don't want nobody messing with.

00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:01.120
 That's your mammon, you know.

00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:03.900
 That stuff you save up for and you get,

00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:04.660
 you know,

00:14:04.740 --> 00:14:06.400
 and you treasure that,

00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:07.179
 that's your mammon.

00:14:08.199 --> 00:14:09.059
 That's your stuff.

00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:09.860
 Stuff's fun.

00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:12.340
 It can also be very deceptive.

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:13.559
 I love what Lou Holtz said.

00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:14.799
 I heard him say one time,

00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:15.059
 he said,

00:14:15.139 --> 00:14:16.779
 if you want to be happy for an hour,

00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:18.179
 eat a steak.

00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.259
 If you want to be happy for a day,

00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:22.919
 play golf.

00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.240
 I bet he ain't played with me,

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:25.699
 but anyway.

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:28.799
 If you want to be happy for a week,

00:14:29.579 --> 00:14:30.639
 go on a cruise.

00:14:31.319 --> 00:14:34.620
 It's kind of like a prison with good food.

00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:35.579
 You can't go anywhere.

00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:38.819
 If you want to be happy for a month,

00:14:38.959 --> 00:14:39.620
 buy a car.

00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.600
 If you want to be happy for a year,

00:14:43.699 --> 00:14:44.439
 win the lottery.

00:14:46.319 --> 00:14:48.079
 But if you want to be happy for a lifetime,

00:14:48.259 --> 00:14:49.799
 you put your faith in the Lord Jesus

00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:53.079
 because he'll never let you down.

00:14:53.079 --> 00:14:54.240
 My friend,

00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:55.579
 that is so very true

00:14:55.579 --> 00:14:57.299
 and you don't need anything

00:14:57.299 --> 00:14:59.399
 to get in the way of your devotion to the Lord.

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:00.439
 So,

00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.899
 be careful that your mammon

00:15:02.899 --> 00:15:05.000
 or your stuff

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.319
 doesn't dictate your life.

00:15:09.439 --> 00:15:11.539
 And the best way to ensure that

00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:15.819
 is that God stays at the center of your life

00:15:15.819 --> 00:15:17.019
 and your family's life

00:15:17.019 --> 00:15:19.340
 is to keep the word of God

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:21.100
 at the center of your life.

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:23.680
 Let the word of God

00:15:23.680 --> 00:15:25.920
 light your path.

00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.580
 Let your family know

00:15:28.580 --> 00:15:30.259
 who leads the way.

00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:32.779
 It's a dark world,

00:15:33.259 --> 00:15:34.879
 but the word of God

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.180
 empowered by the spirit of God

00:15:37.180 --> 00:15:39.000
 will navigate us

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:39.899
 through it.

00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:41.779
 Jesus said in John 12,

00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:42.360
 verse 35,

00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:43.279
 he said,

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:44.759
 the light is among you

00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:45.939
 for a little while longer.

00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:49.100
 Walk while you have light,

00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:51.019
 lest darkness overtake you.

00:15:51.579 --> 00:15:53.159
 The one who walks in the darkness

00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:54.620
 does not know

00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:56.699
 where he's going.

00:15:59.199 --> 00:15:59.679
 Parents,

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.120
 let the word of God guide you every day.

00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:03.539
 Listen,

00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:04.459
 I'm glad you're here.

00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:05.319
 We got great attendance

00:16:05.319 --> 00:16:08.579
 for a middle of the summer

00:16:08.579 --> 00:16:09.699
 in June.

00:16:09.980 --> 00:16:10.759
 Not a special day.

00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:12.039
 Father's Day was great attendance.

00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:13.220
 I appreciate you being here

00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:13.639
 if you were here.

00:16:13.680 --> 00:16:14.160
 If you wasn't here,

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.759
 shame on you.

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:15.879
 I hope it was something extraordinary.

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.180
 But now,

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.600
 I'm glad you're here.

00:16:21.420 --> 00:16:22.379
 But I want to be clear.

00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:25.600
 I'll do everything I can

00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:28.220
 to encourage you

00:16:28.220 --> 00:16:28.960
 and to strengthen you

00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:29.620
 in God's word

00:16:29.620 --> 00:16:30.740
 every time you come

00:16:30.740 --> 00:16:31.360
 in these doors.

00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:32.940
 I'll do everything I can,

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.060
 but I promise you

00:16:34.060 --> 00:16:35.580
 it's not enough.

00:16:38.540 --> 00:16:39.779
 You need the word of God

00:16:39.779 --> 00:16:41.340
 in your life daily

00:16:41.340 --> 00:16:43.660
 because when you go out

00:16:43.660 --> 00:16:44.399
 at these doors,

00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.460
 you'll face the world.

00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:49.240
 If you don't cut on

00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:50.320
 some ball game this afternoon,

00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.620
 you'll watch the news

00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:53.220
 or you'll watch

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:53.800
 how somebody

00:16:53.800 --> 00:16:54.920
 takes care of their mammon

00:16:54.920 --> 00:16:56.340
 or whatever.

00:16:57.560 --> 00:16:58.420
 We'll immediately

00:16:58.420 --> 00:16:59.379
 get right back

00:16:59.379 --> 00:16:59.940
 in the world.

00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:01.840
 And

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.299
 six more days of that

00:17:04.299 --> 00:17:06.160
 before we ever get

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.500
 any spiritual nutrients

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:09.160
 is not enough.

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.040
 you'll be spiritually depleted.

00:17:11.779 --> 00:17:12.980
 You need a plan

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:13.620
 and a pattern

00:17:13.620 --> 00:17:14.500
 in your life

00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:15.759
 to spend time

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:17.340
 in God's word

00:17:17.340 --> 00:17:18.320
 daily

00:17:18.320 --> 00:17:19.300
 and you need

00:17:19.300 --> 00:17:20.360
 to tell your children

00:17:20.360 --> 00:17:21.660
 how you can,

00:17:21.820 --> 00:17:22.560
 they can trust

00:17:22.560 --> 00:17:23.360
 God's lead.

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:25.519
 And when you do,

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:27.840
 I want you to watch.

00:17:29.019 --> 00:17:30.720
 God will light your path.

00:17:31.620 --> 00:17:32.360
 He'll light your path

00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:32.980
 for your family.

00:17:33.600 --> 00:17:34.759
 Even in the midst

00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:36.180
 of the ever-surrounding

00:17:36.180 --> 00:17:36.779
 darkness,

00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:39.559
 God will light the path.

00:17:41.180 --> 00:17:42.619
 Not only spend time

00:17:42.619 --> 00:17:44.779
 in the word of God,

00:17:46.899 --> 00:17:48.599
 but share what he shows you

00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:49.339
 to your family.

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.359
 Share it.

00:17:53.819 --> 00:17:54.819
 Just this past week,

00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:56.899
 I was,

00:17:57.899 --> 00:17:59.799
 Abby is here this week

00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:00.700
 and she is in the car

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:01.059
 with me

00:18:01.059 --> 00:18:02.240
 and she was charging

00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:02.700
 her phone

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:03.119
 and the phone

00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:03.660
 wouldn't charge

00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:04.039
 and her mother

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:04.639
 had problems

00:18:04.639 --> 00:18:05.299
 with that cord.

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:07.200
 Abby said,

00:18:07.259 --> 00:18:07.740
 the problem is

00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:08.339
 there's a short

00:18:08.339 --> 00:18:08.940
 in this cord.

00:18:10.419 --> 00:18:11.119
 But she said,

00:18:11.159 --> 00:18:11.339
 Daddy,

00:18:11.379 --> 00:18:11.779
 I know where

00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:12.619
 some more cords are.

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:13.259
 They're down

00:18:13.259 --> 00:18:13.899
 in your chair

00:18:13.899 --> 00:18:14.379
 in the den.

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:16.559
 But this is what she said.

00:18:16.879 --> 00:18:17.259
 She said,

00:18:17.299 --> 00:18:17.579
 they're down

00:18:17.579 --> 00:18:18.680
 in that Jesus chair.

00:18:24.919 --> 00:18:25.579
 I had never

00:18:25.579 --> 00:18:26.279
 called it that.

00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:26.480
 But she knows.

00:18:32.579 --> 00:18:33.480
 She knows.

00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:36.139
 That every morning

00:18:36.139 --> 00:18:38.539
 I get a cup of coffee

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:41.079
 and I sit in that chair

00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:43.180
 and I read God's word

00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:45.639
 and I pray for my family

00:18:45.639 --> 00:18:48.180
 and I pray for my church.

00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:50.559
 And I don't know

00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:51.559
 what she meant by that.

00:18:52.639 --> 00:18:53.680
 But when I said it,

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:54.519
 when I heard her say it,

00:18:54.539 --> 00:18:54.859
 I thought,

00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:55.159
 Lord,

00:18:55.819 --> 00:18:57.059
 may some of that

00:18:57.059 --> 00:18:57.799
 trickle down

00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:59.799
 and let her know

00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.000
 that her daddy needs

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:02.819
 the word of God

00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:04.039
 daily.

00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.659
 expose them,

00:19:08.259 --> 00:19:08.639
 folks.

00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:11.440
 Expose them

00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:12.859
 to the darkness.

00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:14.039
 And I don't mean,

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:16.480
 please don't get this wrong.

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.259
 Ephesians 5

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:21.619
 lets us know

00:19:21.619 --> 00:19:23.720
 where we've come from.

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:25.440
 And as Christians,

00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:26.159
 I'm not going to read

00:19:26.159 --> 00:19:26.720
 the whole chapter.

00:19:26.859 --> 00:19:27.740
 You can this afternoon.

00:19:27.879 --> 00:19:28.920
 But how God

00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:29.740
 has changed us.

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:30.759
 Ephesians 5 tells us

00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:32.059
 it challenges us

00:19:32.059 --> 00:19:33.379
 to live that way

00:19:33.379 --> 00:19:34.720
 that God has changed us.

00:19:34.779 --> 00:19:36.460
 And Paul tells us

00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:37.819
 to walk as children

00:19:37.819 --> 00:19:38.500
 of light

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:40.140
 and to try to discern

00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:40.759
 what's pleasing

00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:41.319
 to the Lord.

00:19:41.379 --> 00:19:41.960
 And he goes on

00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:42.660
 to explain that

00:19:42.660 --> 00:19:44.019
 we are to expose

00:19:44.019 --> 00:19:44.680
 the darkness.

00:19:44.900 --> 00:19:46.319
 Call it for what it is.

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:48.220
 Live a life

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:49.720
 contrary to the darkness

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:50.460
 of the world.

00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:52.660
 He then tells us

00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:54.680
 to watch how we walk.

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:55.879
 Ephesians 5,

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.879
 15 through 17

00:19:56.879 --> 00:19:57.440
 says this.

00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.400
 Look carefully then

00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:00.240
 how you walk.

00:20:00.600 --> 00:20:01.720
 Not as unwise

00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:02.740
 but as wise

00:20:02.740 --> 00:20:04.019
 making the best use

00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:04.700
 of the time

00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:06.220
 because the days

00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:07.220
 are evil.

00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:08.660
 Therefore do not

00:20:08.660 --> 00:20:09.340
 be foolish

00:20:09.340 --> 00:20:10.580
 but understand

00:20:10.580 --> 00:20:11.500
 what the will

00:20:11.500 --> 00:20:13.000
 of the Lord is.

00:20:13.320 --> 00:20:13.580
 Listen.

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.000
 When we shed light

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:16.779
 in our daily walk

00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:18.720
 we expose

00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:19.680
 the wrong

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.360
 in the world

00:20:20.360 --> 00:20:21.840
 by not participating

00:20:21.840 --> 00:20:22.580
 in it.

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:25.299
 By not pandering

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:25.900
 to it.

00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:28.259
 Don't get lost

00:20:28.259 --> 00:20:29.259
 in this world folks.

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:31.080
 Not parading it

00:20:31.080 --> 00:20:32.140
 before our kids.

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:35.059
 We serve

00:20:35.059 --> 00:20:36.180
 a holy God

00:20:36.180 --> 00:20:37.259
 and we are

00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:37.960
 to strive

00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:39.180
 to be holy

00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:39.759
 and that word

00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:40.740
 means set apart

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:41.660
 for his purposes.

00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:43.279
 We don't wonder

00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:44.039
 in the dark

00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:45.320
 and the only way

00:20:45.320 --> 00:20:45.880
 to keep from

00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:46.740
 wondering in the dark

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.779
 is to stay near

00:20:47.779 --> 00:20:48.340
 the light.

00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:48.940
 You better pay

00:20:48.940 --> 00:20:49.759
 attention to that.

00:20:51.180 --> 00:20:52.440
 I love the old hymn.

00:20:52.620 --> 00:20:53.200
 Not all of it

00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:54.000
 but I love this verse.

00:20:54.080 --> 00:20:54.500
 It says this.

00:20:54.900 --> 00:20:56.360
 Prone to wonder Lord.

00:20:56.539 --> 00:20:57.240
 I feel it.

00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:59.580
 Prone to leave

00:20:59.580 --> 00:21:00.580
 the God I love.

00:21:01.620 --> 00:21:02.480
 Here's my heart.

00:21:02.620 --> 00:21:03.220
 Oh take

00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:04.920
 and seal it.

00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:07.360
 Friend

00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:07.980
 if you don't

00:21:07.980 --> 00:21:08.519
 pay attention

00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:09.420
 to the traps

00:21:09.420 --> 00:21:10.220
 of darkness

00:21:10.220 --> 00:21:11.840
 you will wonder

00:21:11.840 --> 00:21:13.259
 right into them

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:15.759
 and you'll take

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:16.500
 your dear family

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:17.160
 with you.

00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:19.120
 See it

00:21:19.120 --> 00:21:19.840
 for what it is.

00:21:20.779 --> 00:21:21.680
 The evil one

00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.259
 is at work

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:22.880
 around us.

00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:23.340
 Don't fall

00:21:23.340 --> 00:21:23.779
 for that.

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:24.820
 Don't take

00:21:24.820 --> 00:21:25.299
 your kids

00:21:25.299 --> 00:21:26.220
 down the wrong way.

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:26.819
 Don't be

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.440
 permissive

00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:27.860
 in what you

00:21:27.860 --> 00:21:28.360
 allow them

00:21:28.360 --> 00:21:28.759
 to venture

00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:29.140
 into.

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:30.360
 Don't do it.

00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:31.180
 It's not worth it.

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:32.860
 You have to

00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:33.940
 recognize the darkness

00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:34.620
 for what it is

00:21:34.620 --> 00:21:35.539
 and then call it

00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:36.079
 for what it is.

00:21:36.360 --> 00:21:36.900
 Expose it

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:37.579
 to your family.

00:21:38.180 --> 00:21:39.140
 The will of God

00:21:39.140 --> 00:21:40.120
 is that we live

00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:41.059
 for the Lord

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:42.120
 and by doing that

00:21:42.120 --> 00:21:42.880
 we expose

00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:43.799
 our family

00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:44.980
 to what is right.

00:21:45.100 --> 00:21:45.740
 We expose

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.860
 them to his care.

00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:47.960
 We expose

00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.120
 them to his lead.

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:50.100
 His will

00:21:50.100 --> 00:21:50.880
 is also

00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:51.740
 to stay away

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:52.400
 from what is

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:52.940
 dark

00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:54.299
 and ungodly.

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:55.340
 Don't bring

00:21:55.340 --> 00:21:56.000
 that garbage

00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:56.720
 in your home.

00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:57.860
 Don't encourage

00:21:57.860 --> 00:21:58.299
 it.

00:21:58.539 --> 00:21:59.500
 Don't allow it.

00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:00.580
 Don't be silent

00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:01.120
 about it.

00:22:01.620 --> 00:22:02.160
 Expose

00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:03.180
 the darkness.

00:22:03.860 --> 00:22:04.519
 Call it

00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:06.180
 for what it is.

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:08.100
 Please.

00:22:09.299 --> 00:22:10.240
 Because if you

00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.940
 don't

00:22:10.940 --> 00:22:13.340
 this world

00:22:13.340 --> 00:22:13.759
 will get us

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:14.340
 in a whirlwind

00:22:14.340 --> 00:22:14.720
 friend.

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:16.940
 We'll lose

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:17.340
 our train

00:22:17.340 --> 00:22:17.720
 of thought.

00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:19.559
 We'll head

00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:20.180
 the wrong way.

00:22:20.180 --> 00:22:22.759
 Lastly,

00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:23.259
 expose

00:22:23.259 --> 00:22:23.960
 the truth.

00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:26.600
 Expose

00:22:26.600 --> 00:22:27.039
 the truth.

00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:27.580
 Jesus made

00:22:27.580 --> 00:22:27.900
 it clear

00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:28.240
 in Matthew

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:28.759
 chapter 5

00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:29.160
 that we are

00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:29.880
 to spread

00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:30.360
 the light

00:22:30.360 --> 00:22:30.779
 of the love

00:22:30.779 --> 00:22:31.320
 of God.

00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:32.019
 That's not

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:32.500
 only speaking

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:33.180
 of philanthropy

00:22:33.180 --> 00:22:34.160
 and charity

00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:34.500
 work.

00:22:34.580 --> 00:22:34.980
 It speaks

00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:35.799
 of the gospel.

00:22:37.460 --> 00:22:38.060
 It don't

00:22:38.060 --> 00:22:38.940
 do any good

00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:42.019
 to do a bunch

00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:42.680
 of nice things

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:43.279
 for somebody

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:45.720
 and then let

00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:46.259
 them go to hell

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:46.799
 without ever

00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:47.480
 hearing the gospel.

00:22:50.180 --> 00:22:52.500
 it speaks

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:53.120
 of the gospel

00:22:53.120 --> 00:22:55.039
 and Jesus

00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:55.620
 is the only

00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:56.240
 way to heaven.

00:22:57.380 --> 00:22:58.000
 John 14

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.420
 6

00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:59.480
 he said

00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:00.460
 I'm the

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:01.299
 way the

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:01.660
 truth and

00:23:01.660 --> 00:23:02.039
 life and

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:02.700
 no man

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:03.220
 comes unto

00:23:03.220 --> 00:23:03.640
 the father

00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:04.519
 but by

00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:05.299
 me.

00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:06.060
 You need

00:23:06.060 --> 00:23:06.900
 to talk

00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:07.620
 about that.

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:08.840
 Start

00:23:08.840 --> 00:23:09.580
 with your

00:23:09.580 --> 00:23:10.060
 family.

00:23:11.840 --> 00:23:12.360
 Mix

00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:12.920
 it in

00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:13.620
 with the

00:23:13.620 --> 00:23:14.320
 provisional

00:23:14.320 --> 00:23:14.880
 talk.

00:23:15.600 --> 00:23:16.360
 How God

00:23:16.360 --> 00:23:16.740
 provides.

00:23:16.860 --> 00:23:17.140
 Keep it

00:23:17.140 --> 00:23:17.380
 coming.

00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:19.220
 Think about

00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:19.660
 the stuff

00:23:19.660 --> 00:23:19.960
 that you

00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:20.360
 see on

00:23:20.360 --> 00:23:20.680
 TV.

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:22.500
 Think about

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:22.860
 the stuff

00:23:22.860 --> 00:23:23.259
 you hear

00:23:23.259 --> 00:23:24.039
 in songs.

00:23:24.940 --> 00:23:25.500
 See others

00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:25.839
 do.

00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:27.380
 Even watch

00:23:27.380 --> 00:23:27.960
 us do.

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:31.960
 Either it

00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:33.200
 is consistent.

00:23:34.120 --> 00:23:34.500
 The other

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:35.100
 day we were

00:23:35.100 --> 00:23:35.559
 in the car.

00:23:35.620 --> 00:23:35.960
 I talked

00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:36.620
 about my

00:23:36.620 --> 00:23:37.660
 radio station

00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:38.700
 last Sunday.

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:38.920
 I'm going to

00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:39.299
 get into that

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:40.160
 again but a

00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:41.600
 song came

00:23:41.600 --> 00:23:41.860
 on.

00:23:42.100 --> 00:23:42.339
 We were in

00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:42.759
 the car and

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:43.279
 a song came

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:43.480
 on.

00:23:43.539 --> 00:23:43.720
 It's a

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:44.360
 horrible song.

00:23:46.100 --> 00:23:46.759
 It's horrible.

00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:47.220
 I said

00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:48.400
 girls have

00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:48.740
 y'all ever

00:23:48.740 --> 00:23:49.160
 paid attention

00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:49.480
 to that song.

00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:49.839
 Debbie said

00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:50.160
 let me tell

00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:50.359
 you about

00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:50.740
 that song

00:23:50.740 --> 00:23:51.000
 daddy.

00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.700
 She said

00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:53.759
 you gave

00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:54.299
 me permission

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:54.640
 to buy

00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:55.220
 that song

00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:56.519
 on Apple

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:56.819
 Music

00:23:56.819 --> 00:23:57.519
 years ago

00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:59.279
 without

00:23:59.279 --> 00:23:59.880
 listening to

00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:00.059
 it.

00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:01.599
 And then

00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:01.839
 when you

00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.140
 heard it

00:24:02.140 --> 00:24:02.440
 you went

00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:02.799
 what are

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:03.019
 you doing

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:03.279
 with that

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:03.620
 song?

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:05.279
 What are

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:05.559
 you doing

00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:05.779
 with that?

00:24:05.819 --> 00:24:06.059
 Don't you

00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:06.460
 dare play

00:24:06.460 --> 00:24:06.960
 that song.

00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:09.440
 And what

00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:09.859
 I'm saying

00:24:09.859 --> 00:24:10.440
 is folks

00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:10.900
 if we go

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:11.519
 to sleep

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:12.880
 we don't

00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:13.279
 pay attention

00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:13.500
 to what

00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:14.000
 we're doing.

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.460
 we expose

00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:18.680
 others to

00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:19.240
 things that

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:22.099
 they don't

00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:22.400
 need to be

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:23.000
 exposed to.

00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:29.299
 Think about

00:24:29.299 --> 00:24:29.759
 the stuff

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.059
 that you

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.480
 watch on

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:30.700
 TV.

00:24:30.900 --> 00:24:31.299
 Think about

00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:31.700
 the stuff

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:32.059
 you hear

00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:32.500
 in songs.

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:33.279
 Think about

00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:33.660
 the stuff

00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:34.019
 you see

00:24:34.019 --> 00:24:34.539
 others do.

00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:35.819
 Think about

00:24:35.819 --> 00:24:36.119
 the stuff

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:36.440
 you even

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:37.180
 watch others

00:24:37.180 --> 00:24:37.460
 do.

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:39.039
 And either

00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:39.500
 it is

00:24:39.500 --> 00:24:40.420
 consistently

00:24:40.420 --> 00:24:41.279
 bad

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:41.660
 those

00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:42.200
 things

00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:43.580
 or it

00:24:43.580 --> 00:24:43.779
 is

00:24:43.779 --> 00:24:44.920
 inconsistently

00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:45.440
 good

00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:45.759
 because

00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.060
 none of

00:24:46.060 --> 00:24:46.279
 us are

00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:46.740
 perfect.

00:24:47.820 --> 00:24:48.180
 And so

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:50.340
 that's

00:24:50.340 --> 00:24:50.779
 why

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:52.400
 your

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:52.820
 family

00:24:52.820 --> 00:24:53.160
 needs

00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:53.400
 the

00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:53.880
 gospel

00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:54.519
 just

00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:55.220
 washed

00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:55.660
 over

00:24:55.660 --> 00:24:56.019
 them

00:24:56.019 --> 00:24:56.480
 again

00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:56.620
 and

00:24:56.620 --> 00:24:56.960
 again.

00:24:58.240 --> 00:24:58.519
 Combat

00:24:58.519 --> 00:24:59.340
 the world's

00:24:59.340 --> 00:24:59.920
 influences

00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:01.120
 with the

00:25:01.120 --> 00:25:01.560
 gospel.

00:25:03.060 --> 00:25:03.840
 You see

00:25:03.840 --> 00:25:04.259
 a mean

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:04.600
 man

00:25:04.600 --> 00:25:05.160
 somewhere

00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:06.779
 that man

00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:07.039
 needs

00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:07.420
 Jesus.

00:25:08.420 --> 00:25:09.080
 You see

00:25:09.080 --> 00:25:09.519
 a mad

00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:09.820
 woman

00:25:09.820 --> 00:25:10.360
 somewhere

00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:11.479
 that woman

00:25:11.479 --> 00:25:11.819
 needs

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:12.240
 Jesus.

00:25:13.259 --> 00:25:13.819
 You see

00:25:13.819 --> 00:25:14.219
 somebody

00:25:14.219 --> 00:25:14.519
 that's

00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:15.359
 messed up

00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:16.679
 on the

00:25:16.679 --> 00:25:17.039
 street.

00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:18.459
 We saw

00:25:18.459 --> 00:25:18.839
 a guy

00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:19.139
 the other

00:25:19.139 --> 00:25:19.439
 day in

00:25:19.439 --> 00:25:19.759
 Pickens

00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:21.259
 was riding

00:25:21.259 --> 00:25:21.519
 down the

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:21.659
 road

00:25:21.659 --> 00:25:22.099
 he's having

00:25:22.099 --> 00:25:22.379
 a fight

00:25:22.379 --> 00:25:22.899
 with himself.

00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.299
 I think

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:23.719
 he won

00:25:23.719 --> 00:25:24.759
 but he's

00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:25.000
 having a

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:25.139
 fight

00:25:25.139 --> 00:25:25.539
 with himself.

00:25:25.719 --> 00:25:25.919
 You know

00:25:25.919 --> 00:25:26.219
 what he

00:25:26.219 --> 00:25:26.619
 needs?

00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:28.859
 He needs

00:25:28.859 --> 00:25:29.319
 Jesus.

00:25:29.459 --> 00:25:29.579
 That's

00:25:29.579 --> 00:25:29.839
 what he

00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:30.199
 needs.

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:33.740
 Tell

00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:33.979
 him

00:25:33.979 --> 00:25:35.279
 folks

00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:35.500
 need

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:35.839
 Jesus.

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:36.179
 Shed

00:25:36.179 --> 00:25:36.459
 light

00:25:36.459 --> 00:25:36.599
 on

00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:37.359
 every

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:37.759
 dark

00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:38.500
 situation

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:40.319

00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:40.639
 let me

00:25:40.639 --> 00:25:41.039
 remind

00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:41.339
 you

00:25:41.339 --> 00:25:43.179
 of where

00:25:43.179 --> 00:25:43.339
 we

00:25:43.339 --> 00:25:43.659
 started.

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:45.259
 You are

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:45.579
 the light

00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:45.779
 of the

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.059
 world.

00:25:47.379 --> 00:25:47.799
 A city

00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:48.159
 set on

00:25:48.159 --> 00:25:48.419
 a hill

00:25:48.419 --> 00:25:48.879
 cannot be

00:25:48.879 --> 00:25:49.139
 hidden.

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:50.559
 Nor do

00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:51.319
 people light

00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:52.159
 a lamp

00:25:52.159 --> 00:25:52.599
 and put

00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:52.839
 it under

00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:53.399
 a basket

00:25:53.399 --> 00:25:54.500
 but on

00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:54.879
 a stand

00:25:54.879 --> 00:25:55.220
 and it

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:55.439
 gives

00:25:55.439 --> 00:25:55.960
 light to

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:56.500
 all

00:25:56.500 --> 00:25:57.220
 in the

00:25:57.220 --> 00:25:57.599
 house.

00:25:58.339 --> 00:25:58.559
 In the

00:25:58.559 --> 00:25:59.240
 same way

00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:00.299
 let your

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:01.139
 light shine

00:26:01.139 --> 00:26:01.859
 before others

00:26:01.859 --> 00:26:02.460
 so that they

00:26:02.460 --> 00:26:03.139
 may see

00:26:03.139 --> 00:26:03.919
 your good

00:26:03.919 --> 00:26:04.539
 deeds

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:05.159
 and give

00:26:05.159 --> 00:26:06.000
 glory to

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:06.740
 your Father

00:26:06.740 --> 00:26:07.799
 who is in

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:08.079
 heaven.

00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:09.159
 let me

00:26:09.159 --> 00:26:09.720
 point out

00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:10.059

00:26:10.059 --> 00:26:10.339

00:26:10.339 --> 00:26:10.819

00:26:11.139 --> 00:26:11.740
 is to

00:26:11.740 --> 00:26:11.899
 give

00:26:11.899 --> 00:26:12.159

00:26:12.159 --> 00:26:12.319
 to

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:12.599
 all

00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:12.759

00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:13.019

00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:13.519

00:26:16.639 --> 00:26:16.939

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:17.960
 for a

00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:18.139

00:26:18.139 --> 00:26:18.399
 night

00:26:18.399 --> 00:26:18.740

00:26:18.740 --> 00:26:19.099
 let

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:19.240
