00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.080
 I can remember that when I was a lad, I was uncertain about whether I really wanted to go to heaven.

00:00:11.419 --> 00:00:19.719
 The reason for it was that I had heard reference made to heaven being a place of eternal worship.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:28.280
 And when I heard the word worship, I thought that that meant an everlasting church service.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.880
 And when I was growing up, a church service meant being sat in a very hard, uncomfortable pew,

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:46.879
 except for when you stood up to sing a hymn, the words of which I didn't understand, to a sound that I really didn't enjoy.

00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:54.640
 And then sitting down for a very, very long time, listening to prayers that again I didn't understand,

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:00.539
 and a very, very, very, very long sermon that I still didn't understand.

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:07.079
 And I thought, if that's what worship means, and heaven means that, going on forever,

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.700
 I'm not totally convinced about it.

00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:19.560
 One of the reasons why we're thinking over these next few weeks on this series,

00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:23.799
 which is actually based on something produced by the London Institute of Contemporary Christianity,

00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:26.900
 the series on worship, whole life worship,

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.700
 is to perhaps revisit what might be some false understandings of what worship is.

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:47.180
 See, worship is not about singing, it's not about music, although it can include that, of course it does.

00:01:48.820 --> 00:01:58.780
 Worship is not about what happens on a Sunday, although it is about that, it's not exclusively about that.

00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:09.979
 Worship is not about an activity that takes place at any time, although it does involve acts of worship.

00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:19.520
 Worship is actually something that is far broader than an isolated activity.

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:26.800
 It's a whole of life thing, hence the title of this series, whole life worship.

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:34.900
 Worship is about an approach to the whole of our lives, and it's about a way of living.

00:02:36.860 --> 00:02:40.260
 In a deeply, deeply practical sense.

00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:46.760
 And so, let's go back to the words of scripture that we've just heard,

00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:50.740
 because they help us to understand how this is so.

00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:54.300
 Romans 12, verse 2 says,

00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:59.700
 Do not conform to the pattern of the world,

00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.980
 but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:15.460
 You see, to be conformed to something means that you fix yourself to something that is already there and that is already fixed.

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:22.400
 To be transformed means that something is changed into something that is so much bigger and so much greater.

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:27.280
 Now, I didn't speak with Julian before the service, so I didn't know he was going to do this,

00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:35.680
 but actually I went to the message as well to see how Eugene Peterson had paraphrased it.

00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:44.259
 The message is a paraphrase of scripture, and sometimes it can be a really good place to help unpack some of what scripture is saying in contemporary language.

00:03:44.379 --> 00:03:46.819
 And let me just read it to you again, because I think it's really, really helpful.

00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:52.959
 The message translates those words, paraphrases those words in the following way.

00:03:53.539 --> 00:04:00.900
 Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.

00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.219
 Instead, fix your attention on God.

00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:08.519
 You'll be changed from the inside out.

00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.560
 Readily recognize what he wants from you and quickly respond to it.

00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:20.579
 Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity.

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:27.900
 God brings out the best in you and develops well-formed maturity in you.

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.800
 I don't really know anything at all about fish.

00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:36.560
 That sounds a random comment.

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.379
 I'm coming to the point.

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:45.019
 But I'm told that a fish will grow to the environment in which it's in.

00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.699
 Now, I wanted to check this, and it actually turns out there is a little bit of a myth.

00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:53.800
 But it is one factor that can influence the size of a fish.

00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:56.920
 In other words, fish can be really small and they can be really big.

00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:06.360
 And one of the things that can determine their size is how big the tank is or how big the pond is.

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:07.460
 One of the factors.

00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:25.420
 I share that with you because I think it's quite an important image if we can understand what Paul is saying to us here about whether we conform to the constraints of the environment that surround us.

00:05:25.420 --> 00:05:31.080
 Or whether we are transformed by something that is so much bigger and so much greater.

00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.319
 Now, we find that unpacked in Paul's letter to the Romans.

00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:42.439
 And let's just go back to it because he starts that passage, Romans 12, by saying,

00:05:42.539 --> 00:05:44.519
 Therefore, I urge you.

00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:45.899
 Therefore.

00:05:45.899 --> 00:05:51.939
 Now, we come across that quite a lot, particularly in Paul's letters and the way in which they're arranged.

00:05:52.219 --> 00:05:57.519
 That sometimes we can begin reading a chapter in one of Paul's letters and he starts by saying, Therefore.

00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.019
 But, of course, he doesn't start with that.

00:06:01.459 --> 00:06:03.579
 It's pointing back to what's preceded it.

00:06:03.579 --> 00:06:12.060
 The word, therefore, is a piece of verbal glue that joins one piece of writing to that which has preceded it.

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.659
 You wouldn't start a sentence with therefore generally.

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.279
 Well, so you wouldn't start a conversation.

00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:23.139
 So let's say the service is just finished and everyone's having coffee and I come up to you and you say, Oh, hello.

00:06:23.139 --> 00:06:25.579
 And I don't say hello, but I just say, Therefore.

00:06:28.699 --> 00:06:37.000
 Or you're in Liddles tomorrow morning and you see somebody that you know and you just go up to them and you just say, Therefore.

00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.139
 That would be slightly odd.

00:06:41.719 --> 00:06:44.860
 Because it's not something that we usually open with.

00:06:45.099 --> 00:06:51.000
 The word, therefore, is a glue that sticks what we're about to say to that which we've just said.

00:06:51.039 --> 00:06:52.000
 And that's true in Paul.

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:57.300
 So let's think, what is the therefore that points us back to what Paul has just said?

00:06:57.379 --> 00:07:07.000
 Well, what Paul has just said in the preceding chapter, at the end of chapter 11 in Romans, is a piece of doxology.

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.620
 That means worship through poetry, through song.

00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:18.120
 Where he ends up, Romans chapter 11, by saying, Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God.

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.399
 How unsearchable his judgments and paths beyond tracing out.

00:07:22.500 --> 00:07:24.220
 Who has known the mind of the Lord?

00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:26.259
 Who has been his counsellor?

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.980
 Who has ever given to God that God should repay him?

00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:39.120
 Far from him and through him, for through him, for from him and through him and to him are all things.

00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.259
 To him be glory forever.

00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:43.220
 Amen.

00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:43.380
 Amen.

00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:45.660
 That's what Paul writes.

00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:55.760
 You see, as Paul is writing his letter to the Romans, we have some pretty heavyweight systematic theology as he unpacks his thinking in a very systematic way.

00:07:55.860 --> 00:08:00.540
 But then he gets to the point at the end of that chapter where he just breaks into worship.

00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:03.760
 And he writes, well, this is this poem, this doxology.

00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.019
 So he's just done that.

00:08:06.219 --> 00:08:09.620
 Paul has just broken out into worship, into prayer, in his letter.

00:08:10.420 --> 00:08:12.779
 And then he says, therefore.

00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.019
 So you can imagine Paul writing this.

00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:16.879
 He's there.

00:08:17.019 --> 00:08:18.860
 He's doing his theological stuff.

00:08:19.099 --> 00:08:20.779
 And then he suddenly breaks into prayer.

00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:21.879
 He's worshipping God.

00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:25.139
 And then he's back in the room again.

00:08:25.899 --> 00:08:26.920
 And says, therefore.

00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:27.060
 Therefore.

00:08:27.060 --> 00:08:40.720
 You see, when Paul says, when he says, do not conform to the pattern of the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:50.159
 He's in that place where he's just experienced that sense, not of conforming to what's going on around him, but being transformed by worshipping God himself.

00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:53.779
 And that's something very, very powerful.

00:08:53.779 --> 00:09:00.559
 You see, the vision of knowing God in worship, the sense of knowing that he's our creator and our sustainer.

00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:08.939
 When we know his sense of eternity in worship, the eternity that God is, the eternity that he promises to us.

00:09:09.459 --> 00:09:13.620
 When we're immersed in that in worship, it changes everything.

00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:17.019
 It transforms our thinking.

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:21.659
 It means we think not smaller, but bigger.

00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:24.620
 And that's what faith does.

00:09:24.699 --> 00:09:25.899
 That's what worship does.

00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.120
 It makes our vision bigger.

00:09:28.779 --> 00:09:33.719
 Sadly, tragically, a lot of people think that if you're a Christian, it shrinks your world down.

00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:34.899
 It makes things smaller.

00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:35.299
 No.

00:09:35.719 --> 00:09:36.620
 It's just the opposite.

00:09:36.959 --> 00:09:37.719
 Paul knew this.

00:09:38.579 --> 00:09:42.480
 When you experience God in worship, it suddenly flings wide open everything.

00:09:43.319 --> 00:09:45.480
 Everything takes on a deeper dimension.

00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:45.980
 It's bigger.

00:09:46.079 --> 00:09:46.519
 It's greater.

00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:47.059
 It's richer.

00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:47.659
 It's fuller.

00:09:47.699 --> 00:09:48.120
 It's bigger.

00:09:48.199 --> 00:09:48.679
 It's better.

00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.759
 It's what happens.

00:09:53.459 --> 00:10:00.079
 But we are surrounded by a culture that thinks in very limiting and limited materialistic terms.

00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:08.939
 Remember, a few Christmases ago, Argos had a very unfortunate advertising slogan.

00:10:09.059 --> 00:10:15.219
 Now, I knew what they were trying to say, but they said, Argos, helping you live for less.

00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:28.300
 They were talking about saving money, but that actually is perhaps a slogan of the world and its culture in which we live.

00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:30.160
 To live for less.

00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:34.740
 To have a limiting and a limited vision.

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:41.500
 When we worship God, it expands everything.

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.279
 It makes everything bigger.

00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:54.899
 Our world can too easily close down, be shrunk down into something very small, very privatized, and very limiting.

00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.200
 But faith enlarges things.

00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:00.100
 I'll give you some examples.

00:11:00.100 --> 00:11:04.259
 You ever have that experience where you can't sleep?

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.519
 And I'm not just talking about good old-fashioned insomnia.

00:11:08.700 --> 00:11:10.779
 I'm talking about when you're worrying about something.

00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:19.600
 And you're there in the early hours, and you cannot get to sleep because that thing is weighing on your mind.

00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:21.500
 It's staring you in the face.

00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:27.940
 And that thing, strangely, in the morning, may not seem quite so big.

00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:30.539
 But there in the early hours, boy, it's massive.

00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:32.080
 It's huge.

00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:35.600
 And you're wide awake, and you can't get your mind off it.

00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.080
 You're just thinking of this thing, this situation where it's something going on at work, or in your family, or whatever it is.

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:42.740
 But something is keeping you awake at night.

00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:43.720
 You cannot sleep.

00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:45.080
 It seems huge.

00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:47.379
 It's your whole, not world, universe.

00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.039
 It will not let you rest.

00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:51.459
 You close your eyes.

00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:52.079
 You try to sleep.

00:11:52.139 --> 00:11:53.240
 You can't think of anything else.

00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:54.079
 It's massive.

00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.500
 It's got hold of you, and it will not let you go.

00:11:59.139 --> 00:12:01.939
 You see, it seems so huge, even though it isn't.

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.099
 And even it may be in the morning.

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.319
 Actually, you think about it.

00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:06.019
 You think, why was I?

00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:13.120
 It just seems to have gone back to a sensible perspective in the morning, even though we might still have it on our mind.

00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:24.679
 But the reason, perhaps, in the middle of the night, why it can seem so massive and keeps us awake is because our world has been shrunk down by it.

00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:29.839
 Worrying works in that way.

00:12:29.839 --> 00:12:38.539
 Let me give you another picture that I have heard shared before by psychologists in terms of how to deal with worry and anxiety.

00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:52.639
 In that sometimes, whether it's in the middle of the night or during the day, you can be so fixed on something that is worrying you, that's bothering you, it can feel like everything's just suddenly slowed down to a halt.

00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:58.899
 A helpful image to think in those situations is imagine life as being stuck in a traffic jam.

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:09.720
 So when you're really worried, and you can't think beyond that thing that is worrying you, it's like being stuck in really, really agonizingly slow-moving traffic.

00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.860
 It feels like nothing's going to change.

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:13.720
 Nothing's moving.

00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:17.840
 You're just sat there behind the wheel, and everything's shut down in all directions.

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:25.180
 But imagine that you could somehow take a camera and pan out from that street in which you are jammed.

00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:30.600
 Probably a few more streets, you'd be able to see a little bit of movement going on.

00:13:31.100 --> 00:13:34.000
 But as you pan out, you then take a view of the whole city.

00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:39.000
 And as you see that, you see a picture, actually, of traffic that is moving around.

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.720
 It's just the spot where you are at right now isn't.

00:13:43.179 --> 00:13:44.320
 It's frozen solid.

00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:49.840
 But when you see that bigger picture of things moving around, somehow it seems okay.

00:13:50.379 --> 00:13:51.220
 It's all right.

00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:52.919
 It's just a temporary blip, and you're caught.

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:58.620
 But when you're right there, and you can only see the street that you're stuck in, it feels like it's going to be forever.

00:13:58.620 --> 00:14:07.799
 And so sometimes picturing our lives in that way, seeing something that life right now for us can feel like it's on lockdown,

00:14:08.179 --> 00:14:10.360
 but actually when you see the bigger picture, it's not.

00:14:10.560 --> 00:14:11.639
 It can be really helpful.

00:14:12.019 --> 00:14:21.779
 Now, I share that with you because, again, it's another picture that reminds us that our lives can seem so small

00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:26.759
 when we're locked down and focused in.

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.639
 But worship enlarges that perspective.

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:38.899
 It sees it in perspective, the perspective of faith through God's eternal lens.

00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:44.179
 Right now, for us in our lives, we might be in a place where it feels like there's a traffic jam going on.

00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.519
 But from God's perspective, things are different.

00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:48.399
 Things are moving.

00:14:50.379 --> 00:14:53.220
 Worship enlarges that vision that we need to see.

00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:57.259
 You know, it's true in relationships.

00:14:57.580 --> 00:15:03.720
 Worship can radically transform our view, our perspective in relationships.

00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:08.440
 Because when we're focused in just on ourselves and our own perspective, it's not helpful.

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.660
 When we see the perspective of the other, of the other party,

00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:20.740
 when our vision is enlarged, as difficult though it might be for us to do that, things change.

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.519
 And worship enables us to see that bigger perspective.

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:27.959
 And it's true not only in relationships.

00:15:28.179 --> 00:15:32.299
 It's true in terms of a whole vision and the way we look at our world.

00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:40.879
 You see, the danger is we can be so shrunk down to our own concerns, our own lives going on in the place where we live.

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.939
 Worship blows that open and enables us to see things in global perspective.

00:15:48.339 --> 00:15:52.599
 When we see things through the lens of faith in the eternal God,

00:15:52.719 --> 00:15:56.459
 we see our own lives in a global context.

00:15:56.460 --> 00:16:01.379
 And we recognize that, yes, we might have our own challenges going on,

00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:08.180
 but globally we can see that as one life in a whole world that belongs to God.

00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:16.040
 A world in which a few hours by plane will take you to somewhere where people's lives are so fraught with abject poverty,

00:16:16.460 --> 00:16:17.440
 we just don't know it.

00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:22.580
 We can live in such a small, locked-down world.

00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:26.300
 But worship throws the doors wide open.

00:16:26.460 --> 00:16:28.240
 It changes, it transforms.

00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:33.740
 Because when we worship,

00:16:34.700 --> 00:16:38.100
 we are reminded not to conform to that which surrounds us,

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:40.940
 but to be transformed by God's eternal vision.

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:48.700
 When we are reminded that God is there to be worshipped and experienced and encountered,

00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.920
 that transforms things.

00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.459
 When I was a teenager, I had a job.

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.259
 This was on the Isle of Wight where I grew up,

00:16:58.659 --> 00:17:00.620
 in a cafe on a beach.

00:17:01.199 --> 00:17:03.539
 It wasn't exactly an Agon Rone place.

00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:05.200
 It was...

00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:06.519
 Everything was fried.

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:10.299
 And I would go there for...

00:17:10.299 --> 00:17:14.879
 Do my shifts and fry everything inside.

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:19.440
 And after working there for a while,

00:17:19.520 --> 00:17:25.440
 I realised I would come out from that place absolutely stinking of chip fat.

00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.320
 You know, I walk past any greasy spoon environment now,

00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:32.740
 and I'm transported back to my teenage years in that cafe.

00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:34.740
 But I realised that...

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:35.740
 But I realised that...

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:38.759
 Quickly realised that I actually had to wear...

00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.640
 Have a completely separate set of clothes that I wore to that place.

00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.420
 Because otherwise, no matter how much they were washed,

00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:49.019
 they could not lose this smell of chip fat.

00:17:49.019 --> 00:17:53.220
 So I had a separate set of clothes to wear to work,

00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:54.879
 and only to work,

00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.460
 and they would go nowhere else,

00:17:56.539 --> 00:17:59.299
 because the smell of that environment just clung.

00:18:01.059 --> 00:18:02.180
 Worship does that.

00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:08.400
 When you're immersed in that vision of God,

00:18:08.579 --> 00:18:11.799
 and I mean this in a positive sense now,

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.900
 the image I've just given you is not a particularly positive image of an aroma.

00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:17.500
 Think of a nice smell.

00:18:17.579 --> 00:18:18.279
 Think of a good one.

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:19.579
 Think of a good one.

00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:21.339
 Worship clings.

00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:28.579
 That's why worshipping together in this sort of way is important on a weekly basis.

00:18:28.859 --> 00:18:35.200
 But it's also why those activities of worship in our daily life are so important.

00:18:35.660 --> 00:18:36.000
 Why?

00:18:36.099 --> 00:18:39.259
 Not because worship is just about isolated activity.

00:18:39.379 --> 00:18:40.099
 Of course it's not.

00:18:40.779 --> 00:18:43.339
 But when we do that in our lives,

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.139
 it clings to us,

00:18:45.140 --> 00:18:49.620
 so that in every situation that we find ourselves in,

00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:53.120
 that sense of God's presence,

00:18:54.120 --> 00:18:55.560
 we know is there.

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.039
 That connection is made.

00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.720
 We know that God is with us.

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.819
 We are not conformed,

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.519
 but transformed by that eternal vision in which we are immersed.

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:17.819
 I want to leave you with this thought to lead us into prayer.

00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:23.279
 It's a huge privilege for me in my job as a Methodist superintendent

00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.619
 to be involved with the training of local preachers.

00:19:26.619 --> 00:19:29.239
 And at the moment,

00:19:29.239 --> 00:19:33.879
 we've got several people training for preaching,

00:19:34.179 --> 00:19:34.699
 ministry,

00:19:35.179 --> 00:19:39.079
 using this amazing new course that's come out for training preachers.

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.319
 And part of that course involves,

00:19:41.879 --> 00:19:43.899
 it's all online-based stuff,

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.159
 involves watching video clips of other preachers.

00:19:48.379 --> 00:19:49.539
 As part of that experience,

00:19:49.639 --> 00:19:53.000
 I saw a clip a few weeks ago,

00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.559
 and I thought it was mind-blowingly brilliant,

00:19:57.159 --> 00:20:02.039
 of this preacher who was talking about,

00:20:02.179 --> 00:20:05.579
 it was particularly about how preaching can connect with suffering.

00:20:05.579 --> 00:20:12.179
 And this preacher referred to another preacher that he had heard

00:20:12.179 --> 00:20:16.059
 at a funeral where he said this.

00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:19.480
 He said that life,

00:20:20.379 --> 00:20:23.559
 sorry, death is not a full stop.

00:20:24.819 --> 00:20:25.819
 It's a comma.

00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.539
 And he went on to say that

00:20:30.539 --> 00:20:33.279
 the same can be said,

00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:35.460
 not only of death, but of life itself.

00:20:35.579 --> 00:20:38.839
 Now, I'll come back to that in a moment.

00:20:39.339 --> 00:20:40.980
 The point is, punctuation matters.

00:20:41.439 --> 00:20:43.559
 If you get punctuation muddled up or wrong,

00:20:43.679 --> 00:20:45.519
 it doesn't communicate clearly.

00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:47.720
 Years ago, when I used to live in Devon,

00:20:47.819 --> 00:20:49.179
 I can remember driving along one day,

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:50.720
 and there was a road sign,

00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:52.299
 and it was meant to say,

00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:52.799
 slow.

00:20:53.919 --> 00:20:54.859
 Men at work.

00:20:55.639 --> 00:20:58.159
 But there was nothing to separate the word slow

00:20:58.159 --> 00:20:59.079
 from the rest of the sentence.

00:20:59.199 --> 00:21:00.859
 So it simply said, slow men at work.

00:21:00.859 --> 00:21:05.299
 Punctuation makes all the difference

00:21:05.299 --> 00:21:07.259
 between meaning one thing and meaning another.

00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:09.399
 Back to this preacher.

00:21:10.619 --> 00:21:12.339
 He was talking about the importance

00:21:12.339 --> 00:21:16.919
 of not confusing full stops with commas.

00:21:18.619 --> 00:21:20.959
 You see, too often in our lives,

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.360
 we put a full stop

00:21:22.360 --> 00:21:24.440
 where a comma belongs.

00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:25.220
 Let me explain.

00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:27.400
 A full stop

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.220
 means I've finished.

00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:29.720
 That's it.

00:21:29.940 --> 00:21:31.840
 I've come to the end of my sentence.

00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:33.660
 There's nothing more to be said.

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.460
 End of.

00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:37.600
 Whereas a comma

00:21:37.600 --> 00:21:39.860
 represents a pause.

00:21:41.299 --> 00:21:42.640
 It means there's more to come.

00:21:42.819 --> 00:21:43.840
 I haven't finished yet.

00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:48.039
 Now, when it comes to our lives,

00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:49.240
 too often,

00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:51.159
 commas

00:21:51.159 --> 00:21:53.599
 needs to be put back in

00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:55.539
 where we've allowed ourselves

00:21:55.539 --> 00:21:56.619
 to be conformed

00:21:56.619 --> 00:21:58.519
 to the thinking of our surrounding culture

00:21:58.519 --> 00:21:59.459
 and allow a full stop

00:21:59.459 --> 00:22:00.259
 to be put in instead.

00:22:00.619 --> 00:22:01.259
 For example,

00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:03.679
 we might be tempted to think,

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.139
 you know, I really messed that up.

00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:05.939
 Full stop.

00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:06.899
 End of.

00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:09.879
 When we worship God,

00:22:10.539 --> 00:22:11.859
 when we are immersed

00:22:11.859 --> 00:22:13.199
 in his eternal perspective,

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:14.600
 that full stop

00:22:14.600 --> 00:22:15.220
 is taken out

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:16.140
 and replaced with a comma.

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:18.100
 I really messed that up.

00:22:18.340 --> 00:22:18.680
 Comma.

00:22:19.580 --> 00:22:19.840
 Wait.

00:22:22.660 --> 00:22:23.380
 But somehow,

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:24.299
 it's going to be all right.

00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:26.860
 God's going to get me through that

00:22:26.860 --> 00:22:27.940
 and in a better place.

00:22:28.819 --> 00:22:29.480
 Full stop.

00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:33.000
 Or we can think,

00:22:33.080 --> 00:22:33.279
 you know,

00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:33.860
 I just,

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:34.740
 I guess I'm

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:36.740
 just a bit of a disaster.

00:22:38.080 --> 00:22:38.799
 Full stop.

00:22:40.120 --> 00:22:41.140
 Or someone else

00:22:41.140 --> 00:22:42.480
 might make you feel that way

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:43.339
 and say that to you.

00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.000
 You are just a complete

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.420
 disaster.

00:22:47.420 --> 00:22:48.120
 Full stop.

00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:51.880
 Now, let's be honest with ourselves.

00:22:52.019 --> 00:22:53.240
 There may be truth in that comment.

00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:56.160
 But let's take the full stop out

00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:57.400
 and replace it with a comma.

00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:01.620
 I guess I've been a bit of a disaster.

00:23:02.620 --> 00:23:02.860
 Comma.

00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:05.360
 Up till now.

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:06.480
 Comma.

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:09.079
 But with God's help,

00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:09.960
 that can change.

00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:11.720
 And it's going to change.

00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:13.460
 Full stop.

00:23:15.220 --> 00:23:16.299
 See, a comma says,

00:23:16.420 --> 00:23:16.960
 keep going.

00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:17.860
 There's more.

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:18.660
 I'm not done yet.

00:23:21.180 --> 00:23:22.799
 I feel I've failed

00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:23.740
 as a parent.

00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:25.779
 Full stop.

00:23:25.779 --> 00:23:31.139
 I have failed

00:23:31.139 --> 00:23:31.639
 at times

00:23:31.639 --> 00:23:32.220
 as a parent.

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:33.539
 Comma.

00:23:34.539 --> 00:23:35.779
 Not proud about that.

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:37.139
 Comma.

00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:40.359
 But I can do this.

00:23:41.059 --> 00:23:41.399
 Comma.

00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:43.539
 Because like anything else

00:23:43.539 --> 00:23:44.079
 in life,

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:46.160
 I can go at it

00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:46.980
 with God's strength

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:47.940
 and he can change

00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:48.920
 those situations

00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:50.220
 for the better.

00:23:51.139 --> 00:23:51.740
 Full stop.

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:56.180
 I'm immersed in debt

00:23:56.180 --> 00:23:57.880
 and I can't see beyond it.

00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:59.059
 Full stop.

00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:02.539
 God will change that.

00:24:04.120 --> 00:24:05.420
 I'm immersed in debt

00:24:05.420 --> 00:24:06.779
 and I can't see beyond it

00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:07.299
 right now.

00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:08.039
 Comma.

00:24:10.120 --> 00:24:11.259
 But God can.

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.480
 Full stop.

00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:18.339
 What started as a habit

00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:19.859
 now controls me

00:24:19.859 --> 00:24:20.599
 and I'm addicted.

00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:21.819
 Full stop.

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:26.259
 God's perspective says,

00:24:27.199 --> 00:24:28.259
 I'm addicted.

00:24:29.019 --> 00:24:29.359
 Comma.

00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:31.759
 But with God's help,

00:24:32.679 --> 00:24:34.099
 I'm getting control back.

00:24:35.059 --> 00:24:35.719
 Full stop.

00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:39.599
 I'm locked into a situation

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:40.980
 that I can't get out of.

00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:41.679
 Full stop.

00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:43.719
 God says,

00:24:45.199 --> 00:24:45.899
 locked in

00:24:45.899 --> 00:24:47.379
 to a situation

00:24:47.379 --> 00:24:48.459
 that you can't get out of.

00:24:48.719 --> 00:24:49.099
 Comma.

00:24:49.099 --> 00:24:51.740
 But things are going to change

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:53.299
 and they are going to get better.

00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:55.379
 Trust in God.

00:24:55.959 --> 00:24:56.459
 Full stop.

00:24:58.639 --> 00:24:59.740
 There's no hope

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.419
 to my health

00:25:00.419 --> 00:25:01.599
 ever improving.

00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:03.159
 I've been told that.

00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:05.259
 Full stop.

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:07.899
 God says,

00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:11.079
 there feels like

00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:11.779
 there's no hope

00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:12.899
 of improving.

00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:13.639
 Comma.

00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:16.400
 God is greater

00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.259
 than any pain.

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:20.700
 And God is eternal.

00:25:21.700 --> 00:25:22.560
 Full stop.

00:25:23.360 --> 00:25:24.500
 The point is this.

00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:26.140
 Don't let anybody

00:25:26.140 --> 00:25:27.600
 put a full stop

00:25:27.600 --> 00:25:28.800
 where a comma belongs.

00:25:30.259 --> 00:25:32.380
 We live in a full stop world.

00:25:33.780 --> 00:25:34.700
 But worship

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:35.740
 enlarges things.

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:37.940
 It takes out

00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:38.819
 those full stops

00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:39.960
 and replaces them

00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:40.660
 with commas.

00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:43.859
 It says,

00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:44.819
 keep going.

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:47.099
 You're not done yet.

00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:49.299
 Do not conform

00:25:49.299 --> 00:25:51.259
 to the full stop

00:25:51.259 --> 00:25:51.859
 pattern

00:25:51.859 --> 00:25:52.799
 of this world.

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.779
 Be transformed

00:25:54.779 --> 00:25:56.440
 by the renewing

00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:57.000
 of your mind.

00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:08.279
 That's not even

00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:09.220
什么uppress.

00:26:11.099 --> 00:26:11.920
 You know,

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:13.359
 I've been living

00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.059
 in a승

00:26:15.059 --> 00:26:15.880
 with a half

00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:16.500
 around a while

00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:17.180
 the entire

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:17.880
 one

00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:18.859
 Muhammed

00:26:18.859 --> 00:26:20.440
FF

00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:20.900
 means

00:26:20.900 --> 00:26:21.819
 to people

00:26:21.819 --> 00:26:22.019
 to the

00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:22.599
 children

00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:23.000
 as

00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:24.480
 as

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:24.819
 as

00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:25.819
 as

00:26:25.819 --> 00:26:26.039
 the

00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:26.500
 Folge

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:26.980
 of
