00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.520
 Brother Gordon, come and preach this place for you.

00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:04.919
 Well, good morning.

00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:08.419
 Wow, that was good.

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:09.960
 That was real good.

00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:12.380
 You know, make you feel welcome.

00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:13.460
! I sit by myself.

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:15.280
 No response.

00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:16.920
 Well, this is going to go real well.

00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.120
 You know, this is my first time preaching

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.240
 in progressive lenses.

00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.679
 So, just in case I look like I may get lost

00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.519
 and when I look up and you disappear for a minute,

00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.479
 how many of you wear progressive lenses?

00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:36.359
 How many of you almost fell off a set of bleachers

00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.119
 at one of your kids' basketball games

00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:39.280
 the first time you wore them?

00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:40.659
 That would be me.

00:00:41.579 --> 00:00:44.500
 You know, they mentioned that this was kind of

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:45.939
 a last-minute deal.

00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.000
 This is actually not the shortest time frame

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.140
 that I've ever had to get ready to preach a sermon.

00:00:53.859 --> 00:00:57.200
 I was visiting my parents back in the small town

00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.520
 of Mississippi, Water Valley, where I grew up.

00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:01.620
 And I was laying in bed.

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.400
 It was a Sunday morning, probably about 7.30.

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.579
 I get a phone call, a buddy of mine that I grew up with.

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.600
 He said, hey, you still here?

00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:12.480
 I said, what do you mean?

00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:13.700
 You still in town?

00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:14.260
 I said, yeah.

00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:17.939
 He said, well, Silverina, this small country church

00:01:17.939 --> 00:01:19.600
 that I preached at a few times before,

00:01:20.859 --> 00:01:22.420
 their pastor's got the flu,

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:23.900
 and he can't preach today.

00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:25.540
 He said, hey, are you still here?

00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:28.640
 I said, man, all I got is boots and jeans

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.359
 and an old flannel button-down.

00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:31.140
 He said, that's great.

00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:31.780
 We'll see you at 11.

00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:32.800
 Hung up.

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:37.200
 Showed up, preached, got paid,

00:01:37.860 --> 00:01:40.920
 watermelons, eggs, and I think a cantaloupe

00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.340
 is what it was.

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:46.280
 So it's really interesting how God orchestrates

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:47.060
 some of this.

00:01:47.180 --> 00:01:49.280
 You know, I don't even, I don't know your pastor.

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.560
 I wouldn't know him if he walked in the back door.

00:01:53.219 --> 00:01:54.840
 But a former student of mine,

00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.260
 when I was a youth pastor in Plainview, Texas,

00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.299
 called me on Wednesday about noon

00:02:00.299 --> 00:02:02.400
 and said, hey, man, how's it going?

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:04.379
 I was like, what do you want?

00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.799
 That's how these conversations go.

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:09.340
 Hey, how's Shelly?

00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:10.379
 How are the kids doing?

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:12.080
 I'm like, dude, just cut to the chase.

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:13.539
 What do you need?

00:02:13.659 --> 00:02:14.639
 You always want something.

00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.159
 I got a friend who's at this church in Henrietta

00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.679
 and he's needing somebody to fill in last minute.

00:02:20.819 --> 00:02:22.179
 He was like, man, do you know anybody?

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.239
 He's like, well, actually my old youth pastor

00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:25.439
 lives in Wichita Falls.

00:02:25.579 --> 00:02:30.099
 So that's how you got stuck with me today.

00:02:31.959 --> 00:02:33.519
 How many of you would agree

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:37.359
 that it appears as though we have a manhood problem

00:02:37.359 --> 00:02:38.199
 in our culture?

00:02:39.339 --> 00:02:41.199
 How many of you would say that, you know,

00:02:41.359 --> 00:02:44.419
 looking at what's going on in our culture

00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:48.259
 and in our world that we have a manhood problem?

00:02:48.899 --> 00:02:49.939
 I believe we do.

00:02:50.139 --> 00:02:52.159
 And the reason why it's so important

00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.000
 for us to look at this is because

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.939
 it is causing a leadership problem in our homes

00:02:57.939 --> 00:03:03.399
 that results in God's plan of family discipleship

00:03:03.399 --> 00:03:06.299
 taking a back seat to what's going on.

00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.379
 So many other things are dominating our focus

00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:13.479
 in our world because we have a manhood problem

00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.399
 that's causing a leadership problem in the home.

00:03:16.539 --> 00:03:19.039
 And what God says is important for us

00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.819
 as men and in our marriages

00:03:22.819 --> 00:03:24.879
 and with our families is taking a back seat.

00:03:25.899 --> 00:03:28.060
 You see, I believe men are greatly misled

00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:32.139
 and confused about what it means to be a real man,

00:03:32.399 --> 00:03:35.019
 a godly man, a kingdom man.

00:03:35.679 --> 00:03:38.139
 Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 16, 13,

00:03:38.139 --> 00:03:41.500
 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith,

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.159
 act like men, be strong.

00:03:44.299 --> 00:03:47.439
 You know, when you do some diving in to the Scriptures,

00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.319
 you'll see that what Paul says here,

00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.439
 our current situation within our churches today

00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.959
 is not that much different from that of current.

00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.879
 which leads me to ask,

00:04:02.420 --> 00:04:04.120
 where are the real men?

00:04:05.420 --> 00:04:06.620
 Where are the godly men?

00:04:07.260 --> 00:04:08.520
 Where are the kingdom men?

00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:12.020
 I love the challenge by Dr. Tony Evans.

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:14.659
 I don't know if you've ever read any of his stuff or not,

00:04:14.760 --> 00:04:17.400
 and I surely can't relay this as well as he would,

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.079
 but this is something that's really stuck with me

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.120
 through his teaching over the years.

00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:22.620
 He says,

00:04:22.740 --> 00:04:24.240
 if you are a messed up man,

00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:26.360
 you're going to contribute to a messed up family.

00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.199
 If you're a messed up family,

00:04:28.379 --> 00:04:30.720
 you're going to contribute to a messed up church.

00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:32.300
 If you're a messed up church,

00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:34.420
 you're going to contribute to a messed up community.

00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:36.300
 And if you're a messed up community,

00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:38.600
 you're going to contribute to a messed up state.

00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:40.879
 If you're a messed up state,

00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:42.800
 you're going to contribute to a messed up country.

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.000
 And if you're a messed up country,

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.020
 you're going to contribute to a messed up world.

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:50.360
 Therefore, the only way to have a better world

00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:51.560
 made up of better countries

00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:52.920
 composed of better states,

00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:54.520
 filled with better communities,

00:04:54.699 --> 00:04:56.000
 influenced by better churches,

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.839
 inhabited by better families

00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.300
 is by becoming a better man.

00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.660
 You see, it starts with you.

00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:06.740
 It starts with me.

00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:08.480
 It starts with all of us.

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.079
 It begins with us becoming a better man

00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:13.939
 by aligning ourselves

00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:15.740
 under the comprehensive rule of God

00:05:15.740 --> 00:05:17.639
 of every area of our life

00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.939
 and focusing on God's kingdom agenda.

00:05:22.339 --> 00:05:22.920
 Not our own,

00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.120
 but on what God says is important.

00:05:26.259 --> 00:05:27.100
 And you do it

00:05:27.100 --> 00:05:30.780
 by not just choosing to be a man,

00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:32.460
 but a kingdom man.

00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:34.100
 That's very, very important.

00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.379
 Do you know what the difference is

00:05:36.379 --> 00:05:39.600
 between being just a good man

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.300
 versus a godly man?

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:43.080
 Have you ever thought about that?

00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:44.040
 Have you ever wrestled with it?

00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:45.020
 Ladies, have you ever thought about

00:05:45.020 --> 00:05:46.139
 what it means to be a godly man?

00:05:46.259 --> 00:05:47.580
 I mean, you're probably sitting there going,

00:05:47.580 --> 00:05:50.340
 I bet you need to know what that looks like.

00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:54.339
 The difference, Paul says,

00:05:54.679 --> 00:05:56.099
 is that godly men

00:05:56.099 --> 00:05:59.319
 take responsibility for their actions.

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:04.739
 They move past just being a provider,

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.239
 a protector,

00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:08.859
 showing up at the end of the day

00:06:08.859 --> 00:06:11.919
 to how can I take responsibility

00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:13.679
 for my actions?

00:06:14.059 --> 00:06:15.259
 The words that I say,

00:06:15.739 --> 00:06:17.079
 the way that I spend my time,

00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:18.839
 the way that I focus

00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.379
 and engage in different relationships,

00:06:21.379 --> 00:06:23.819
 it's by taking responsibility

00:06:23.819 --> 00:06:26.599
 and not making excuses

00:06:26.599 --> 00:06:27.800
 for simple behavior.

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.659
 Why were you short with your wife?

00:06:29.740 --> 00:06:30.099
 Well, you know,

00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:31.279
 I've got a lot going on at work.

00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:33.620
 Well, why were you impatient

00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:34.439
 with your kids?

00:06:34.539 --> 00:06:35.000
 Well, you know,

00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:36.339
 it's just a lot of stress

00:06:36.339 --> 00:06:36.919
 and I'm tired

00:06:36.919 --> 00:06:38.299
 and there's so many things going on.

00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:39.519
 Why didn't you do this

00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:40.459
 or why didn't you do that?

00:06:40.459 --> 00:06:41.500
 And we make excuse

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:43.060
 after excuse after excuse.

00:06:44.019 --> 00:06:45.199
 But a godly man

00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.259
 begins to take responsibility

00:06:47.259 --> 00:06:48.899
 for his actions.

00:06:50.139 --> 00:06:51.240
 And we don't justify

00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:52.220
 our sinful choices.

00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:53.959
 And men,

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:54.980
 I want to say something to you

00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:55.680
 because a lot of times

00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:56.759
 we get beat up in church,

00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:57.160
 don't we?

00:06:57.740 --> 00:06:58.879
 Don't we get beat up in church?

00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:00.379
 Father's Day.

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:01.800
 Boy, don't we love Father's Day?

00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:03.120
 Let's go to church

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:03.959
 and get beat up.

00:07:04.620 --> 00:07:06.040
 Get elbowed by our wife.

00:07:06.139 --> 00:07:07.360
 See, the pastor's telling you

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.000
 you need to train her.

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:11.819
 Men, you're not a failure

00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:12.540
 if you fail.

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.060
 You are going to fail.

00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:17.379
 That's how we learn.

00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:18.300
 Okay?

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.259
 You fail if you quit.

00:07:20.860 --> 00:07:22.560
 You fail if you quit

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:23.899
 focusing on who God

00:07:23.899 --> 00:07:24.939
 wants you to be.

00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:26.959
 I mean, if we wanted to get

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:27.780
 real technical

00:07:27.780 --> 00:07:29.259
 and real spiritual here,

00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:29.800
 you know,

00:07:29.860 --> 00:07:30.800
 when we're saved,

00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:31.639
 that's justification.

00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:34.620
 While we're here on earth

00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:35.899
 figuring this whole thing out,

00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:36.840
 that's sanctification.

00:07:37.340 --> 00:07:38.819
 We're working out our salvation

00:07:38.819 --> 00:07:39.840
 with fear and trembling.

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:41.879
 When we step into the presence of God,

00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:43.019
 that's glorification.

00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:43.800
 Okay?

00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:45.319
 There's a part in the middle.

00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:47.000
 You know that little dash

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.019
 on those headstones?

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.300
 You know what that is?

00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:50.379
 That dash?

00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:51.819
 That's your life.

00:07:52.459 --> 00:07:53.959
 That's how you're working this thing out.

00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:56.199
 And it's so very important.

00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:00.060
 Godly man doesn't stop

00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:02.599
 seeking to honor the Lord

00:08:02.599 --> 00:08:04.279
 and align himself

00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.240
 under God's authority.

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:11.900
 I've got to ask you, though.

00:08:12.780 --> 00:08:14.579
 This is going to be a lot of fun.

00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:17.819
 Are you constantly making excuses

00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:19.439
 for how you treat your wife and kids?

00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:22.600
 Are you characterized

00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.480
 by someone who is arrogant,

00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:26.860
 rude,

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:28.139
 quick-tempered,

00:08:28.139 --> 00:08:30.339
 or are you patient,

00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:31.920
 kind,

00:08:32.860 --> 00:08:33.220
 loving?

00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:37.259
 Are you present with the right people

00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:38.980
 at the right time?

00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:41.399
 Or are you distracted

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:42.700
 and disengaged?

00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:45.860
 It was one of my favorite things

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:47.180
 my dad would say growing up.

00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:49.539
 I've got a lot going on.

00:08:50.199 --> 00:08:51.699
 I just ain't had time.

00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:53.759
 It's been real intense.

00:08:55.319 --> 00:08:55.799
 Okay.

00:08:57.379 --> 00:08:59.859
 So you get to speak to us

00:08:59.859 --> 00:09:01.099
 in a way that's not very kind.

00:09:02.299 --> 00:09:03.479
 It's not very gracious.

00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.659
 Just because you have a lot going on.

00:09:08.379 --> 00:09:09.539
 People find it funny

00:09:09.539 --> 00:09:11.159
 that I share this story about my dad.

00:09:11.219 --> 00:09:12.339
 My dad's not a horrible guy.

00:09:12.419 --> 00:09:13.620
 I'm not throwing him under the bus.

00:09:13.699 --> 00:09:15.139
 It's just some of the things

00:09:15.139 --> 00:09:15.959
 the way I grew up.

00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.000
 Because my dad does have a lot going on.

00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:21.879
 But when I call him at his office

00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:23.100
 and his secretary answers,

00:09:23.259 --> 00:09:24.580
 I ask her a couple of questions.

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.100
 Is he in a good mood or a bad mood?

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:29.800
 You know?

00:09:30.180 --> 00:09:30.980
 Is he busy?

00:09:32.019 --> 00:09:32.740
 She's laughing.

00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:33.180
 She's like,

00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:34.660
 why do you ask me this?

00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:35.500
 Because I'm like,

00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.180
 at my age,

00:09:37.700 --> 00:09:38.960
 if he's busy,

00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.220
 he ain't going to listen to what I'm saying.

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:42.580
 And number two,

00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:43.620
 if he's in a bad mood,

00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:45.060
 it's probably going to put me in a bad mood.

00:09:45.059 --> 00:09:47.079
 And then we're going to have to resolve everything later.

00:09:47.179 --> 00:09:49.959
 So I might as well just call back at a different time.

00:09:52.379 --> 00:09:55.459
 Do you bring peace into your home?

00:09:56.059 --> 00:09:57.179
 Into your marriage?

00:09:57.839 --> 00:10:00.000
 The relationships you have with your kids?

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:02.799
 Man, are you causing division?

00:10:03.179 --> 00:10:04.859
 Or are you bringing peace?

00:10:06.239 --> 00:10:07.059
 You know, men, we are...

00:10:08.059 --> 00:10:11.199
 Man, we set that temperature on the thermometer, right?

00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:12.679
 We don't want nobody else to touch it.

00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:16.559
 My kids are afraid to touch the thermostat at my house.

00:10:17.539 --> 00:10:18.439
 My wife was here.

00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:18.919
 She'd be like,

00:10:19.059 --> 00:10:19.679
 I'm not.

00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:28.539
 If you ever wondered what a southern bell looked like,

00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:29.799
 if my wife was here,

00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:32.699
 I would have to translate for most of y'all

00:10:32.699 --> 00:10:35.519
 because she can't talk to automated systems.

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.539
 No does not have like five or six syllables.

00:10:39.740 --> 00:10:42.139
 No, it's really bad.

00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:46.299
 But all these things that I presented to you,

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:47.639
 speaking of my wife,

00:10:48.659 --> 00:10:49.819
 because a lot of times men,

00:10:51.220 --> 00:10:51.519
 hey,

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:53.879
 you a good husband?

00:10:54.199 --> 00:10:54.639
 Oh, yeah.

00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:55.399
 Oh, yeah.

00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:56.279
 I think I'm a good husband.

00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:57.659
 You a good dad?

00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:58.480
 Oh, yeah.

00:10:58.600 --> 00:10:59.220
 I'm a good dad.

00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:02.080
 What would Shelly say?

00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:02.899
 My wife.

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.519
 What would your wife say?

00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:09.120
 Me and you want to know what type of husband you are?

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.519
 Just ask your wife.

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:12.000
 She'll tell you.

00:11:13.040 --> 00:11:14.040
 She probably has.

00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:15.160
 Maybe you weren't listening.

00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.360
 You went to your nothing box.

00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.660
 That's a whole other sermon for a different day.

00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:20.580
 You're a good dad.

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:21.720
 What would your kids say?

00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:23.019
 Man,

00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:25.199
 if I don't sit down and talk with Hannah and Caleb

00:11:25.199 --> 00:11:26.639
 about the type of dad I am,

00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:29.919
 I'm just a prideful, arrogant jerk

00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.199
 because I think I'm doing a good job.

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.340
 But my best intentions may not be what they need.

00:11:39.439 --> 00:11:40.159
 Most important,

00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:41.100
 what would God say?

00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.480
 How would God say that you're doing

00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:46.960
 as a husband,

00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:47.860
 as a father?

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:51.240
 Some lovely questions, aren't they?

00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:52.820
 If you can't say amen,

00:11:53.019 --> 00:11:53.519
 say ouch.

00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:55.759
 I know, right?

00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:56.879
 Hey, the good thing is

00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.100
 I'm going to step on your toes,

00:11:59.259 --> 00:12:00.560
 but I'm going to step on mine as well.

00:12:01.019 --> 00:12:01.240
 Right?

00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:02.779
 I usually try to tell people

00:12:02.779 --> 00:12:03.580
 when they say,

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:04.180
 oh man,

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:05.419
 that really got a hold of me.

00:12:05.539 --> 00:12:05.860
 Like good,

00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.419
 because God beat me up

00:12:07.419 --> 00:12:08.460
 before I got here.

00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.100
 And so I just wanted to include you

00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:12.019
 in the process

00:12:12.019 --> 00:12:13.779
 because it's more fun to suffer,

00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:14.940
 I mean learn together

00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:16.740
 as we go forward.

00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:17.779
 You know,

00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:18.720
 in our conversations,

00:12:18.940 --> 00:12:20.060
 especially in our homes,

00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:22.119
 if they are not being run

00:12:22.119 --> 00:12:23.639
 through Galatians chapter 5,

00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:25.079
 man,

00:12:25.119 --> 00:12:25.919
 if we're not passing

00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:26.839
 those conversations

00:12:26.839 --> 00:12:28.419
 through that filter of love,

00:12:28.739 --> 00:12:29.079
 joy,

00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:29.599
 peace,

00:12:29.719 --> 00:12:30.079
 patience,

00:12:30.219 --> 00:12:30.479
 kindness,

00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:30.919
 goodness,

00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:31.619
 faithfulness,

00:12:31.719 --> 00:12:32.059
 gentleness,

00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:33.279
 self-control,

00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:36.019
 then we are not aligned.

00:12:37.579 --> 00:12:38.539
 So repent.

00:12:39.539 --> 00:12:41.219
 How many times do we see that

00:12:41.219 --> 00:12:41.819
 in the scriptures?

00:12:42.339 --> 00:12:42.859
 Repent.

00:12:43.579 --> 00:12:44.839
 Change your mind.

00:12:45.059 --> 00:12:46.359
 Change your default.

00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:48.439
 Realign things to say,

00:12:48.579 --> 00:12:49.099
 you know what?

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:50.899
 I'm going to give my wife

00:12:50.899 --> 00:12:52.340
 and I'm going to give my kids,

00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:53.600
 our family,

00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:55.340
 I'm going to set the temperature

00:12:55.340 --> 00:12:56.000
 on the thermostat.

00:12:56.180 --> 00:12:56.960
 You know what it's going to be?

00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:58.399
 It's going to be Galatians 5.

00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:00.480
 And if I have a conversation

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:01.379
 with my kids,

00:13:01.420 --> 00:13:02.460
 I'm going to give them the freedom

00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:03.139
 to come to me

00:13:03.139 --> 00:13:04.120
 in a respectful way

00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:04.460
 and say,

00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:05.180
 hey dad,

00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:05.920
 you know the other day

00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:06.600
 when we talked,

00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:07.779
 it didn't appear

00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:08.759
 you were very self-controlled.

00:13:11.899 --> 00:13:12.259
 What?

00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.240
 You let your kids do that?

00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:15.680
 Absolutely.

00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:15.879
 Absolutely.

00:13:18.099 --> 00:13:18.719
 Hey dear,

00:13:18.819 --> 00:13:19.539
 you know the other day

00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:20.679
 when you were talking

00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:23.459
 about the rusty old file cabinets

00:13:23.459 --> 00:13:24.379
 in the back of my vehicle

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:25.379
 that were making noises,

00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:26.339
 you were going down the road.

00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:26.859
 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:13:26.939 --> 00:13:27.559
 That was this morning.

00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:29.939
 You weren't very kind

00:13:29.939 --> 00:13:30.219
 when you,

00:13:30.439 --> 00:13:31.439
 babe, I'm sorry.

00:13:32.219 --> 00:13:33.439
 I didn't mean to be short

00:13:33.439 --> 00:13:34.199
 with you

00:13:34.199 --> 00:13:36.259
 and make a snarky comment.

00:13:37.739 --> 00:13:39.539
 We give ourselves permission

00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:41.519
 to have those conversations

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:42.220
 because folks,

00:13:42.319 --> 00:13:43.240
 let me tell you

00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.840
 and I just want to be honest

00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:46.240
 with you

00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:47.279
 and transparent today

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:47.980
 to say to you,

00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.000
 I messed this up

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:50.980
 for a long time.

00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:53.340
 I got it wrong

00:13:53.340 --> 00:13:54.379
 for so long

00:13:54.379 --> 00:13:55.279
 and thankfully

00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:56.019
 the Holy Spirit

00:13:56.019 --> 00:13:56.899
 woke me up

00:13:56.899 --> 00:13:57.399
 and brought me

00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:58.079
 to a place

00:13:58.079 --> 00:13:59.699
 of changing my default,

00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:00.639
 repenting,

00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:01.879
 changing my mind

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.379
 and really setting

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:04.799
 a standard in my home

00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:06.960
 that brings about peace,

00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:08.240
 not conflict

00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:08.879
 and division.

00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.340
 One guy who got it right

00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:12.200
 was J.C. Ryle.

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:12.899
 I don't know

00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:13.539
 if you ever read

00:14:13.539 --> 00:14:14.220
 some of his stuff

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:14.899
 but it's really,

00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:15.500
 really good.

00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:16.860
 In 1816,

00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:18.200
 J.C. Ryle was born

00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:18.679
 in England

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.519
 into an immensely wealthy

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.279
 and socially elite family.

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:23.419
 His grandfather

00:14:23.419 --> 00:14:24.779
 earned a fortune

00:14:24.779 --> 00:14:25.960
 and then he left it

00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:26.980
 to Ryle's father.

00:14:27.580 --> 00:14:28.960
 John Charles, J.C.,

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.059
 was the oldest son

00:14:30.059 --> 00:14:30.500
 and grew up

00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:31.580
 lacking no comfort.

00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:32.700
 The oldest son

00:14:32.700 --> 00:14:34.100
 of a wealthy English family

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:34.840
 was expected

00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:35.759
 to seek a career

00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:36.299
 in Parliament

00:14:36.299 --> 00:14:38.639
 and that was Ryle's ambition.

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:40.480
 At 21,

00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:41.720
 he suffered a long,

00:14:41.939 --> 00:14:43.500
 drawn-out lung infection

00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:45.159
 and during his confinement,

00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:46.340
 he began to read the Bible,

00:14:46.659 --> 00:14:47.279
 something that,

00:14:47.700 --> 00:14:48.759
 according to his own admission,

00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:49.600
 he had not done

00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:50.700
 for 14 years.

00:14:51.179 --> 00:14:52.000
 And one Sunday,

00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:53.539
 during his recovery,

00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:54.539
 he entered

00:14:54.539 --> 00:14:55.639
 an Oxford church

00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:57.480
 just as Ephesians 2,

00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:58.120
 verse 8,

00:14:58.179 --> 00:14:58.919
 was being read.

00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:00.399
 For it is by grace

00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:01.720
 you have been saved

00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:02.899
 through faith.

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:04.159
 And this is not

00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:04.759
 from yourselves,

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.080
 it is the gift of God.

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:07.080
 He came under

00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:08.299
 great conviction

00:15:08.299 --> 00:15:09.259
 at this moment.

00:15:09.359 --> 00:15:10.059
 He was converted

00:15:10.059 --> 00:15:12.039
 and from that moment

00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:13.859
 to the last recorded syllable

00:15:13.859 --> 00:15:15.139
 of this life,

00:15:15.219 --> 00:15:16.159
 notes his biographer,

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:18.620
 no doubt ever lingered

00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:19.500
 in John's mind

00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:20.399
 that the Word of God

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.219
 was living,

00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:22.319
 active,

00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:23.819
 and powerful,

00:15:24.459 --> 00:15:25.479
 sharper than any

00:15:25.479 --> 00:15:26.859
 two-edged sword

00:15:26.859 --> 00:15:27.959
 that cuts deep

00:15:27.959 --> 00:15:29.299
 into the marrow.

00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:31.079
 From his conversion

00:15:31.079 --> 00:15:32.039
 in 1837

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.939
 to his burial

00:15:32.939 --> 00:15:33.799
 in 1900,

00:15:34.059 --> 00:15:34.759
 J.C. Ryle

00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:36.379
 was entirely

00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:37.860
 one-dimensional.

00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:39.519
 He was a one-book man.

00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:40.419
 He was steeped

00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:41.000
 in Scripture.

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.220
 He bled

00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:43.340
 the Bible.

00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:45.120
 And as only Ryle

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:45.659
 could say,

00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:47.000
 and I hope you'll

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:47.980
 latch on to this,

00:15:48.899 --> 00:15:49.939
 it is still

00:15:49.939 --> 00:15:51.159
 the first book

00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:51.899
 which fits

00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:53.000
 the child's mind

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:54.120
 when he begins

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:55.139
 to learn religion

00:15:55.139 --> 00:15:55.980
 and the last

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:56.439
 to which

00:15:56.439 --> 00:15:57.379
 the old man

00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:58.039
 clings

00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:59.659
 as he leaves

00:15:59.659 --> 00:16:00.620
 this world.

00:16:00.620 --> 00:16:02.600
 This is why

00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:03.139
 his works

00:16:03.139 --> 00:16:03.899
 have lasted.

00:16:04.340 --> 00:16:05.200
 This is why

00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:05.840
 it stands

00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:06.799
 the test of time.

00:16:06.899 --> 00:16:07.919
 The Bible as well,

00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:09.000
 it'll last

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:09.879
 because it bears

00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:10.580
 the stamp

00:16:10.580 --> 00:16:11.340
 of eternity.

00:16:11.899 --> 00:16:12.320
 And today,

00:16:12.539 --> 00:16:13.419
 more than a hundred

00:16:13.419 --> 00:16:15.279
 years after his passing,

00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:16.279
 Ryle's works

00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:17.519
 stand at the crossroads

00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:18.539
 between the historic

00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:18.940
 faith

00:16:18.940 --> 00:16:19.860
 and modern

00:16:19.860 --> 00:16:21.039
 evangelicalism.

00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:23.080
 That's a tough

00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:23.740
 word to say

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:24.460
 in front of people.

00:16:24.560 --> 00:16:24.960
 You know that?

00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:28.960
 But like signposts,

00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:30.040
 they direct us

00:16:30.040 --> 00:16:31.100
 to the old past

00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:33.480
 and the signposts

00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:34.379
 are meant to be read.

00:16:37.160 --> 00:16:38.060
 I want to share

00:16:38.060 --> 00:16:38.400
 with you

00:16:38.400 --> 00:16:39.620
 some great advice

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:40.100
 from him.

00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:41.759
 I set that up

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.139
 for you

00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:43.100
 just so you could

00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:44.360
 see how timeless

00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:45.060
 what the,

00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.080
 I've read stuff

00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:46.660
 of his

00:16:46.660 --> 00:16:47.879
 and he wrote it

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:48.940
 so long ago

00:16:48.940 --> 00:16:49.400
 and I'm like,

00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:50.379
 golly,

00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:51.200
 he hit the nail

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:51.720
 on the head.

00:16:52.040 --> 00:16:52.180
 Ah,

00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:52.900
 he must have just,

00:16:53.060 --> 00:16:53.700
 that must have just

00:16:53.700 --> 00:16:54.180
 been pinned.

00:16:54.580 --> 00:16:54.860
 Nope.

00:16:56.180 --> 00:16:57.220
 So far long ago.

00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:59.620
 This is what he says

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:00.740
 to parents.

00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.420
 You cannot make

00:17:03.420 --> 00:17:03.940
 your children

00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:04.720
 love the Bible,

00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:05.460
 I admit.

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:07.259
 None but the Holy Spirit

00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:08.160
 can give us a heart

00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:09.180
 to delight in the Word.

00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:10.500
 But you can make

00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:11.160
 your children

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:11.900
 acquainted

00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:13.860
 with the Bible

00:17:13.860 --> 00:17:14.620
 and be sure

00:17:14.620 --> 00:17:15.660
 they cannot be

00:17:15.660 --> 00:17:16.480
 acquainted with that

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:17.059
 blessed book

00:17:17.059 --> 00:17:17.720
 too soon

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.120
 or too well.

00:17:20.600 --> 00:17:21.480
 Like Ryle,

00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:22.259
 when we look closely

00:17:22.259 --> 00:17:22.799
 in the Scriptures,

00:17:23.220 --> 00:17:24.339
 we cannot help

00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:24.900
 but see

00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:26.100
 as parents,

00:17:26.420 --> 00:17:27.460
 we are called

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:28.380
 to be the primary

00:17:28.380 --> 00:17:29.960
 disciples of our children.

00:17:30.620 --> 00:17:31.259
 Now I want to

00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:32.100
 carry you through

00:17:32.100 --> 00:17:33.960
 a few passages

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:34.780
 in Deuteronomy.

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:36.240
 You're not going

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:36.580
 to be able

00:17:36.580 --> 00:17:37.480
 to keep up with me.

00:17:37.580 --> 00:17:38.180
 I cheated.

00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:39.759
 I put little tabs

00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.400
 in my Bible

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:40.880
 so I'm going to

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:41.960
 flip pretty fast.

00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:43.100
 My encouragement

00:17:43.100 --> 00:17:43.720
 to you

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.580
 is to write

00:17:44.580 --> 00:17:45.820
 these down

00:17:45.820 --> 00:17:46.820
 and to go back

00:17:46.820 --> 00:17:47.940
 through them later

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:48.900
 and just listen

00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:50.180
 as we move

00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:51.140
 through some texts

00:17:51.140 --> 00:17:52.019
 in the Old Testament

00:17:52.019 --> 00:17:53.480
 starting in

00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:54.200
 Deuteronomy

00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:55.160
 chapter 4

00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:56.400
 verses 9

00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.079
 through 10.

00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:58.480
 It says,

00:17:58.660 --> 00:17:59.339
 Only take care

00:17:59.339 --> 00:18:00.579
 and keep your soul

00:18:00.579 --> 00:18:01.180
 diligently

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:02.619
 lest you forget

00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:03.639
 the things

00:18:03.639 --> 00:18:04.400
 that your eyes

00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:04.920
 have seen

00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:06.319
 and lest they

00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:07.359
 depart from your heart

00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:07.859
 all the days

00:18:07.859 --> 00:18:08.440
 of your life.

00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:09.759
 Make them known

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.619
 to your children

00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:12.059
 and your children's

00:18:12.059 --> 00:18:12.460
 children.

00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:13.779
 How on the day

00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:14.359
 that you stood

00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:15.000
 before the Lord

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:15.400
 your God

00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:15.879
 at Horeb

00:18:15.879 --> 00:18:16.299
 the Lord

00:18:16.299 --> 00:18:16.940
 said to me,

00:18:17.099 --> 00:18:17.779
 Gather the people

00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:18.200
 to me

00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:20.799
 that I may let

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:21.899
 them hear my words

00:18:21.899 --> 00:18:22.779
 so that they

00:18:22.779 --> 00:18:23.119
 may learn

00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:23.819
 to fear me

00:18:23.819 --> 00:18:24.720
 all the days

00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:25.399
 that they live

00:18:25.399 --> 00:18:26.419
 on the earth

00:18:26.419 --> 00:18:27.480
 and that they

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.460
 may teach

00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:29.720
 their children

00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:30.659
 so.

00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:33.460
 Flip over to

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:34.119
 chapter 6

00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:34.720
 verses 4

00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:35.200
 through 9

00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:35.899
 if you can do it

00:18:35.899 --> 00:18:36.139
 quick.

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:37.240
 Anybody Bible drills

00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:37.839
 grow up doing

00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:38.539
 Bible drills?

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:39.639
 Yeah?

00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:40.419
 Back there

00:18:40.419 --> 00:18:40.879
 see that?

00:18:41.139 --> 00:18:41.240
 Yeah?

00:18:41.899 --> 00:18:42.700
 I didn't make it

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:43.339
 past some of the

00:18:43.339 --> 00:18:44.039
 earlier rounds

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:44.500
 but hey,

00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:45.159
 I did learn

00:18:45.159 --> 00:18:45.980
 a lot

00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:46.740
 from what I did

00:18:46.740 --> 00:18:48.299
 go through.

00:18:48.399 --> 00:18:49.059
 Chapter 6

00:18:49.059 --> 00:18:49.700
 verses 4

00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:50.180
 through 9

00:18:50.180 --> 00:18:51.279
 Hear O Israel

00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:52.140
 the Lord our God

00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:52.960
 the Lord is one

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:54.320
 you shall love

00:18:54.320 --> 00:18:55.000
 the Lord your God

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:55.740
 with all your heart

00:18:55.740 --> 00:18:56.820
 with all your soul

00:18:56.820 --> 00:18:57.880
 and with all your might

00:18:57.880 --> 00:18:59.200
 and these words

00:18:59.200 --> 00:18:59.820
 that I command you

00:18:59.820 --> 00:19:00.420
 today shall be

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:00.980
 on your heart

00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:01.720
 you shall teach

00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:02.600
 them diligently

00:19:02.600 --> 00:19:04.019
 to your children

00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:05.860
 and shall talk

00:19:05.860 --> 00:19:06.440
 of them when you

00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:07.220
 sit in your house

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:07.600
 and when you

00:19:07.600 --> 00:19:08.440
 walk by the way

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:08.799
 and when you

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:09.200
 lie down

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:09.600
 and when you

00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:10.060
 rise

00:19:10.060 --> 00:19:12.259
 you shall bind

00:19:12.259 --> 00:19:12.960
 them as a sign

00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:13.560
 on your hand

00:19:13.560 --> 00:19:13.920
 and they shall

00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:14.720
 be as frontlets

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:15.640
 between your eyes

00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:16.799
 you shall write

00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:17.420
 them on the

00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:18.299
 doorposts

00:19:18.299 --> 00:19:19.279
 of your house

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.960
 and on your gates

00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.079
 chapter 11

00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:23.899
 verses 18

00:19:23.899 --> 00:19:24.539
 through 19

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:26.819
 you shall therefore

00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:27.879
 lay up these words

00:19:27.879 --> 00:19:28.680
 of mine in your heart

00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:29.379
 and in your soul

00:19:29.379 --> 00:19:30.099
 and you shall bind

00:19:30.099 --> 00:19:30.740
 them as a sign

00:19:30.740 --> 00:19:31.319
 on your hand

00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:32.559
 and they shall be

00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:33.139
 as frontlets

00:19:33.139 --> 00:19:33.960
 between your eyes

00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:34.759
 you shall teach

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:36.019
 them to your children

00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:37.379
 talking of them

00:19:37.379 --> 00:19:38.160
 when you are sitting

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:38.920
 in your house

00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:39.399
 and when you are

00:19:39.399 --> 00:19:40.460
 walking by the way

00:19:40.460 --> 00:19:41.680
 and when you lie

00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.119
 down

00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:43.559
 and when you rise

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.160
 chapter 4

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:46.799
 verse 9

00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:47.980
 this solemn

00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:48.859
 admonition

00:19:48.859 --> 00:19:50.539
 to be careful

00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:52.579
 it's an admonition

00:19:52.579 --> 00:19:53.139
 that occurs

00:19:53.139 --> 00:19:54.240
 numerous times

00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:54.919
 in Deuteronomy

00:19:54.919 --> 00:19:55.500
 if you go back

00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:56.379
 and read through it

00:19:56.379 --> 00:19:57.399
 and to watch

00:19:57.399 --> 00:19:58.180
 implies that the

00:19:58.180 --> 00:19:58.579
 Israelites

00:19:58.579 --> 00:19:59.839
 constantly face

00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:00.799
 the danger

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.000
 of falling back

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.019
 into sin

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:03.919
 which would have

00:20:03.919 --> 00:20:04.480
 brought them

00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:05.240
 to the brink

00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:06.180
 of annihilation

00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:06.980
 as a nation

00:20:06.980 --> 00:20:08.399
 now what was

00:20:08.399 --> 00:20:09.059
 that sin

00:20:09.059 --> 00:20:09.720
 that sin

00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:10.519
 was idolatry

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.559
 it was putting

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:12.220
 anything

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:13.259
 before their

00:20:13.259 --> 00:20:13.899
 relationship

00:20:13.899 --> 00:20:14.819
 with the almighty

00:20:14.819 --> 00:20:15.240
 God

00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:16.140
 and the nation

00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:17.099
 could become

00:20:17.099 --> 00:20:17.799
 idolatrous

00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:18.599
 in two related

00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:19.079
 ways

00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:19.900
 one

00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:20.599
 the depravity

00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:21.079
 of the human

00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:21.400
 mind

00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:22.220
 is so great

00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:24.220
 that the great

00:20:24.220 --> 00:20:25.039
 deeds of God

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:25.839
 of his people

00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:26.900
 that they forget

00:20:26.900 --> 00:20:27.539
 and they might

00:20:27.539 --> 00:20:28.039
 slip

00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:29.440
 and lose focus

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:30.400
 in their hearts

00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:31.440
 if they did not

00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:32.720
 constantly remind

00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:33.259
 themselves

00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:33.940
 of God's

00:20:33.940 --> 00:20:34.640
 mighty works

00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:35.680
 why do you think

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.420
 we come to church

00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:37.819
 on a regular basis

00:20:37.819 --> 00:20:38.380
 why do you think

00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:39.319
 we gather together

00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:40.319
 it's for us

00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:41.059
 to be reminded

00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:42.079
 we don't come

00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:42.660
 in here

00:20:42.660 --> 00:20:43.820
 because God

00:20:43.820 --> 00:20:44.940
 needs us

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:45.600
 to tell him

00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:46.040
 how great

00:20:46.040 --> 00:20:46.640
 he is

00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:47.740
 okay

00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:48.880
 he already

00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:49.500
 knows

00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:51.019
 but the posture

00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:51.700
 of our heart

00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:52.560
 man it needs

00:20:52.560 --> 00:20:53.540
 to be realigned

00:20:53.540 --> 00:20:54.040
 and shifted

00:20:54.040 --> 00:20:55.360
 we need to tell

00:20:55.360 --> 00:20:56.000
 him how great

00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:56.519
 he is

00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:57.740
 we need to be

00:20:57.740 --> 00:20:58.620
 reminded of who

00:20:58.620 --> 00:20:59.140
 he is

00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:00.040
 we need to look

00:21:00.040 --> 00:21:00.580
 back at the

00:21:00.580 --> 00:21:01.360
 things he's done

00:21:01.360 --> 00:21:02.480
 we need to be

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.040
 refocused

00:21:04.040 --> 00:21:05.060
 so to speak

00:21:05.060 --> 00:21:07.440
 on our walk

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:07.840
 with him

00:21:07.840 --> 00:21:10.220
 it's so important

00:21:10.220 --> 00:21:11.380
 to realign

00:21:11.380 --> 00:21:12.059
 ourselves

00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:13.860
 because it's

00:21:13.860 --> 00:21:14.620
 so easy

00:21:14.620 --> 00:21:15.180
 for us

00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:15.720
 to drift

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:16.220
 away

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:17.579
 or the second

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:17.880
 way

00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:19.120
 through laziness

00:21:19.120 --> 00:21:19.880
 or apathy

00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:21.160
 parents might

00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:21.920
 fail to teach

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.519
 them to their

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:22.880
 children

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:23.279
 and thus

00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:23.940
 their children

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:24.759
 would become

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:25.380
 idolaters

00:21:25.380 --> 00:21:27.120
 it's a big

00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:27.539
 issue

00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:28.539
 Deuteronomy

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:29.259
 lays great

00:21:29.259 --> 00:21:29.680
 stress

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:30.160
 not on the

00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:30.579
 priest

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:31.420
 or other

00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:31.799
 religious

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:32.200
 leaders

00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:32.660
 but on the

00:21:32.660 --> 00:21:33.160
 parents

00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:33.700
 as the ones

00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:34.339
 responsible

00:21:34.339 --> 00:21:35.200
 for their

00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:36.220
 children's

00:21:36.220 --> 00:21:36.680
 spiritual

00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:37.380
 education

00:21:37.380 --> 00:21:39.500
 the parents

00:21:39.500 --> 00:21:41.880
 see

00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:42.460
 God

00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:43.500
 trusts us

00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:44.500
 as parents

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:45.580
 with his

00:21:45.580 --> 00:21:45.980
 great

00:21:45.980 --> 00:21:46.740
 revelation

00:21:46.740 --> 00:21:47.840
 such as

00:21:47.840 --> 00:21:48.420
 giving the

00:21:48.420 --> 00:21:48.820
 law at

00:21:48.820 --> 00:21:49.220
 Sinai

00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:49.780
 to faithful

00:21:49.780 --> 00:21:50.220
 stewards

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:50.680
 who must

00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:51.820
 never forget

00:21:51.820 --> 00:21:52.200
 them and

00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:52.880
 must pass

00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:53.660
 them on

00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:54.700
 to their

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:55.160
 children

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:56.540
 but like

00:21:56.540 --> 00:21:56.960
 Joshua

00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.320
 from the

00:21:57.320 --> 00:21:57.840
 Old Testament

00:21:57.840 --> 00:21:58.240
 we got to

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.480
 make a

00:21:58.480 --> 00:21:58.860
 choice

00:21:58.860 --> 00:22:00.260
 I don't

00:22:00.260 --> 00:22:00.480
 know if

00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:00.640
 you've

00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:01.020
 ever thought

00:22:01.020 --> 00:22:01.440
 about this

00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:01.760
 or not

00:22:01.760 --> 00:22:02.620
 but we're

00:22:02.620 --> 00:22:03.000
 free to

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:03.400
 choose

00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:04.780
 we're not

00:22:04.780 --> 00:22:05.160
 free not

00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:05.740
 to choose

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:07.140
 we're not

00:22:07.140 --> 00:22:07.660
 free to

00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:08.019
 choose the

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:08.599
 consequences

00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:09.120
 or change

00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:09.539
 the outcome

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:09.859
 of our

00:22:09.859 --> 00:22:10.220
 choice

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:12.220
 but we

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:12.720
 must make

00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:13.220
 a choice

00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:14.200
 you had to

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:14.460
 make a

00:22:14.460 --> 00:22:14.819
 choice

00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:15.759
 I'm going to

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:16.039
 get up

00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:16.279
 today

00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:16.500
 I'm going to

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:16.960
 stay in bed

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:18.140
 go to church

00:22:18.140 --> 00:22:18.660
 or am I not

00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:19.440
 we have

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:19.980
 choices that

00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:20.400
 we make

00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:21.240
 all the

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:21.500
 time

00:22:21.500 --> 00:22:22.700
 and Joshua

00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:23.299
 tells us

00:22:23.299 --> 00:22:24.160
 in chapter 24

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.140
 verse 15

00:22:25.140 --> 00:22:25.940
 indicates

00:22:25.940 --> 00:22:27.720
 that he

00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:28.359
 wanted Israel

00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:29.099
 to be honest

00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:29.819
 with themselves

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:30.960
 and declare

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:32.279
 their allegiance

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:33.720
 though he said

00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:34.180
 choose

00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:34.700
 he did not

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:35.299
 intend to

00:22:35.299 --> 00:22:35.899
 encourage

00:22:35.899 --> 00:22:36.899
 idolatry

00:22:36.899 --> 00:22:37.200
 but was

00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:37.659
 confident

00:22:37.659 --> 00:22:38.000
 that the

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:38.700
 very thought

00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:39.599
 of making

00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:40.240
 a commitment

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:40.899
 to an idol

00:22:40.899 --> 00:22:41.759
 would be so

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.619
 disgusting

00:22:42.619 --> 00:22:43.440
 to them

00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.819
 that they

00:22:44.819 --> 00:22:45.359
 would take

00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:45.799
 a stand

00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:46.399
 against all

00:22:46.399 --> 00:22:47.019
 such worship

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:48.379
 and Joshua

00:22:48.379 --> 00:22:49.599
 left absolutely

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:50.960
 no doubt

00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:51.500
 as to the

00:22:51.500 --> 00:22:52.579
 choice that

00:22:52.579 --> 00:22:53.000
 he was going

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:53.339
 to make

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:53.799
 for him

00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:54.879
 and for his

00:22:54.879 --> 00:22:55.339
 household

00:22:55.339 --> 00:22:56.960
 as for me

00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:58.440
 we're going

00:22:58.440 --> 00:22:58.740
 to serve

00:22:58.740 --> 00:22:59.099
 the Lord

00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:01.919
 what choices

00:23:01.919 --> 00:23:02.579
 are you making

00:23:02.579 --> 00:23:03.000
 for your

00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:03.419
 household

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:05.060
 where is

00:23:05.060 --> 00:23:05.279
 your

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:05.880
 allegiance

00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:08.000
 are we

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.340
 as parents

00:23:09.340 --> 00:23:10.340
 doing enough

00:23:10.340 --> 00:23:11.600
 maybe

00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:13.660
 maybe not

00:23:13.660 --> 00:23:14.500
 I don't

00:23:14.500 --> 00:23:14.800
 know

00:23:14.800 --> 00:23:16.120
 how about

00:23:16.120 --> 00:23:16.600
 we ask

00:23:16.600 --> 00:23:16.880
 a better

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.279
 question

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:17.840
 according to

00:23:17.840 --> 00:23:18.140
 God's

00:23:18.140 --> 00:23:19.140
 clear directives

00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:20.340
 to parents

00:23:20.340 --> 00:23:20.740
 to be the

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:21.100
 primary

00:23:21.100 --> 00:23:21.640
 disciples

00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:22.460
 of their

00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:22.940
 children

00:23:22.940 --> 00:23:24.560
 am I

00:23:24.560 --> 00:23:25.279
 being

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:26.080
 efficient

00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:27.880
 or effective

00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:29.820
 what's

00:23:29.820 --> 00:23:30.360
 the difference

00:23:30.360 --> 00:23:31.260
 I thought

00:23:31.260 --> 00:23:32.300
 those were

00:23:32.300 --> 00:23:32.660
 the same

00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:33.000
 thing

00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:33.400
 no

00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:35.580
 if you're

00:23:35.580 --> 00:23:36.040
 efficient

00:23:36.040 --> 00:23:37.480
 you are

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:38.100
 doing things

00:23:38.100 --> 00:23:38.440
 right

00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:39.400
 if you're

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:39.760
 effective

00:23:39.760 --> 00:23:40.140
 you're doing

00:23:40.140 --> 00:23:40.440
 the right

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:40.900
 things

00:23:40.900 --> 00:23:42.120
 now if I

00:23:42.120 --> 00:23:42.500
 handed you

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:42.780
 a pair

00:23:42.780 --> 00:23:43.120
 of scissors

00:23:43.120 --> 00:23:43.520
 and I

00:23:43.520 --> 00:23:43.840
 asked you

00:23:43.840 --> 00:23:44.100
 to go

00:23:44.100 --> 00:23:44.380
 out

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:45.380
 and cut

00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:45.880
 the grass

00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:47.080
 and you

00:23:47.080 --> 00:23:47.340
 went

00:23:47.340 --> 00:23:48.180
 blade by

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:48.500
 blade

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:50.420
 you'd be

00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:50.800
 efficient

00:23:50.800 --> 00:23:52.680
 if I

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:53.200
 brought you

00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:53.560
 a zero

00:23:53.560 --> 00:23:53.980
 turn

00:23:53.980 --> 00:23:55.720
 you'd be

00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:56.160
 effective

00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:57.040
 right

00:23:57.040 --> 00:23:58.600
 see the

00:23:58.600 --> 00:23:59.019
 difference

00:23:59.019 --> 00:24:00.440
 it's not

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:01.300
 just doing

00:24:01.300 --> 00:24:01.700
 things

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:02.240
 right

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:03.360
 it's

00:24:03.360 --> 00:24:03.880
 are we

00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:04.320
 doing

00:24:04.320 --> 00:24:04.980
 the right

00:24:04.980 --> 00:24:05.580
 things

00:24:05.580 --> 00:24:05.920
 when it

00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:06.400
 comes to

00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:07.019
 the leadership

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:07.960
 in our

00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:08.340
 homes

00:24:08.340 --> 00:24:08.680
 when I

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:08.940
 meet

00:24:08.940 --> 00:24:09.640
 with young

00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:10.000
 couples

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:10.259
 for

00:24:10.259 --> 00:24:10.960
 premarital

00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:11.519
 pastoral

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:11.920
 care

00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:12.759
 we're going

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:13.200
 out of town

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:13.680
 this week

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:14.000
 for me

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.420
 to do

00:24:14.420 --> 00:24:15.100
 my niece's

00:24:15.100 --> 00:24:15.400
 wedding

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:15.960
 in Georgia

00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:16.560
 it's always

00:24:16.560 --> 00:24:17.100
 great

00:24:17.100 --> 00:24:17.720
 I don't

00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:18.279
 know why

00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:19.340
 how stupid

00:24:19.340 --> 00:24:19.940
 do your

00:24:19.940 --> 00:24:20.740
 family members

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:21.400
 have to be

00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:22.360
 to get you

00:24:22.360 --> 00:24:22.640
 to do

00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:23.160
 their wedding

00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:23.540
 when they

00:24:23.540 --> 00:24:24.140
 know you're

00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:24.600
 going to ask

00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:24.900
 a bunch

00:24:24.900 --> 00:24:25.740
 of personal

00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:26.240
 probing

00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:26.779
 questions

00:24:26.779 --> 00:24:27.980
 I mean

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:28.420
 really

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:29.420
 hey

00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:29.779
 you know

00:24:29.779 --> 00:24:30.039
 what

00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:30.740
 you know

00:24:30.740 --> 00:24:31.120
 who I

00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:31.380
 am

00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:31.839
 you know

00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:32.059
 I'm

00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:32.279
 going to

00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:32.740
 ask

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:33.319
 and you

00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:33.620
 still

00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:34.000
 want me

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:34.279
 to do

00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:34.480
 your

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:34.779
 wedding

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:35.259
 yes

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:35.620
 please

00:24:35.620 --> 00:24:36.019
 all right

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:36.359
 well

00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:37.640
 all right

00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:37.900
 then

00:24:37.900 --> 00:24:38.259
 buckle

00:24:38.259 --> 00:24:39.079
 up

00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:41.839
 I asked

00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:42.380
 one of the

00:24:42.380 --> 00:24:42.920
 questions I

00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:43.440
 asked the

00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:44.079
 young man

00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.339
 can you

00:24:45.339 --> 00:24:45.759
 be the

00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.140
 spiritual

00:24:46.140 --> 00:24:46.460
 leader

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:46.779
 of your

00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:47.160
 household

00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:32.980
 doing it

00:25:32.980 --> 00:25:34.819
 I hadn't

00:25:34.819 --> 00:25:35.299
 thought about

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:35.599
 that

00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:36.680
 do you know

00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:37.220
 if you ever

00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:38.099
 join a

00:25:38.099 --> 00:25:38.900
 small group

00:25:38.900 --> 00:25:39.180
 that I'm

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:39.440

 I'm just

 going to

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:40.379
 give you

00:25:40.379 --> 00:25:40.720
 a tip

00:25:41.420 --> 00:25:41.859
 answers

00:25:41.859 --> 00:25:42.160
 that you

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:42.539
 can answer

00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:43.079
 most every

00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:43.519
 question

00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:43.839
 that I

00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:44.339
 ask you

00:25:44.339 --> 00:25:45.379
 Jesus

00:25:45.379 --> 00:25:46.099
 and not

00:25:46.099 --> 00:25:46.460
 as much

00:25:46.460 --> 00:25:46.759
 as I

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.000
 should

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.279
 here

00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:47.539
 let's

00:25:47.539 --> 00:25:48.019
 practice

00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:49.759
 do you

00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:50.099
 read your

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:50.339
 bible

00:25:50.339 --> 00:25:50.619
 on a

00:25:50.619 --> 00:25:50.879
 regular

00:25:50.879 --> 00:25:51.400
 basis

00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:53.660
 okay

00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:55.119
 who

00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:55.319
 should

00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:55.660
 be at

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:55.799
 the

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:56.000
 very

00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:56.279
 center

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:56.460
 of

00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:56.559
 your

00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:56.900
 life

00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:57.799
 see

00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:58.000
 there

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.119
 you

00:25:58.119 --> 00:25:58.299
 go

00:25:58.299 --> 00:25:58.500
 it's

00:25:58.500 --> 00:25:58.639
 just

00:25:58.639 --> 00:25:58.819
 so

00:25:58.819 --> 00:25:59.220
 simple

00:25:59.220 --> 00:25:59.460
 if

00:25:59.460 --> 00:25:59.559
 you

00:25:59.559 --> 00:25:59.799
 know

00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:00.019
 those

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:00.200
 two

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:00.619
 things

00:26:00.619 --> 00:26:01.920
 but

00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:02.019
 you

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:02.160
 see

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.359
 we

00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:02.720
 cannot

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.279
 expect

00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:03.559
 to

00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:04.099
 raise

00:26:04.099 --> 00:26:05.119
 godly

00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:05.900
 children

00:26:05.900 --> 00:26:06.279
 who

00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:06.740
 love

00:26:06.740 --> 00:26:06.980
 the

00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:07.339
 Lord

00:26:07.339 --> 00:26:07.619
 if

00:26:07.619 --> 00:26:07.960
 we

00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:08.259
 are

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:08.619
 not

00:26:08.619 --> 00:26:09.180
 modeling

00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:09.480
 that

00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:09.779
 for

00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:10.119
 them

00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.160
 right

00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:15.799
 you

00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:15.920
 know

00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:16.440
 my son

00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:16.700
 plays

00:26:16.700 --> 00:26:17.200
 baseball

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:17.720
 I'm not

00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:17.900
 going to

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:18.220
 tell you

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:18.539
 where

00:26:18.539 --> 00:26:18.860
 because

00:26:18.860 --> 00:26:19.019
 y'all

00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:19.340
 probably

00:26:19.340 --> 00:26:19.680
 egged

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:19.819
 my

00:26:19.819 --> 00:26:20.200
 car

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:24.180
 not

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:24.440
 going to

00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:24.779
 tell you

00:26:24.779 --> 00:26:25.160
 where

00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:25.500
 but

00:26:25.500 --> 00:26:25.860
 you know

00:26:25.860 --> 00:26:31.759
 when we

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.920
 go to

00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:33.140
 play

00:26:33.140 --> 00:26:33.640
 baseball

00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:35.160
 or we

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:35.960
 go to

00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:36.200
 deer

00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:36.480
 hunt

00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:38.019
 there's a

00:26:38.019 --> 00:26:38.279
 lot of

00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:38.940
 conversation

00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:39.819
 that happens

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:41.740
 that we

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:42.279
 talk about

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:42.860
 things on

00:26:42.860 --> 00:26:43.600
 an important

00:26:43.600 --> 00:26:44.160
 spiritual

00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:44.539
 level

00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:46.859
 and we

00:26:46.859 --> 00:26:47.200
 can't

00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:47.420
 miss

00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:47.680
 those

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.220
 moments

00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:49.680
 and we

00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:50.000
 can't

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.299
 expect

00:26:50.299 --> 00:26:50.799
 to raise

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.240
 godly

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:51.619
 children

00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:52.299
 if we

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:52.819
 don't

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:53.119
 seek

00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:53.720
 to create

00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:54.000
 those

00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:54.480
 times

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:55.399
 where we

00:26:55.399 --> 00:26:55.559
 can

00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:56.079
 impact

00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:56.379
 them

00:26:56.379 --> 00:26:56.779
 and take

00:26:56.779 --> 00:26:57.399
 advantage

00:26:57.399 --> 00:26:57.980
 of them

00:26:57.980 --> 00:26:58.379
 being in

00:26:58.379 --> 00:26:58.519
 our

00:26:58.519 --> 00:26:58.879
 presence

00:26:58.879 --> 00:27:01.019
 and it

00:27:01.019 --> 00:27:01.180
 just

00:27:01.180 --> 00:27:01.859
 really

00:27:01.859 --> 00:27:02.339
 hit me

00:27:02.339 --> 00:27:02.639
 that

00:27:02.639 --> 00:27:03.079
 you know

00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:03.420
 I

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:03.740
 look

00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:04.139
 back

00:27:04.139 --> 00:27:04.359
 on

00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:04.960
 the

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:05.259
 time

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:05.379
 in

00:27:05.379 --> 00:27:05.500
 the

00:27:05.500 --> 00:27:05.799
 car

00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:06.019
 the

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:06.259
 time

00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:06.399
 in

00:27:06.399 --> 00:27:06.539
 the

00:27:06.539 --> 00:27:06.859
 truck

00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:07.059
 the

00:27:07.059 --> 00:27:07.359
 time

00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:07.500
 in

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:07.619
 the

00:27:07.619 --> 00:27:08.079
 blind

00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:09.199
 the

00:27:09.199 --> 00:27:11.119
 powerful

00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:12.199
 conversations

00:27:12.199 --> 00:27:12.759
 I've had

00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:13.099
 with my

00:27:13.099 --> 00:27:13.359
 son

00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:13.619
 taking

00:27:13.619 --> 00:27:13.819
 my

00:27:13.819 --> 00:27:14.079
 daughter

00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:14.359
 out

00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:14.500
 to

00:27:14.500 --> 00:27:14.759
 eat

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:15.059
 going

00:27:15.059 --> 00:27:15.240
 and

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:15.439
 doing

00:27:15.439 --> 00:27:15.779
 some

00:27:15.779 --> 00:27:15.919
 of

00:27:15.919 --> 00:27:16.159
 her

00:27:16.159 --> 00:27:17.419
 girly

00:27:17.419 --> 00:27:17.759
 stuff

00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:18.019
 good

00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:18.359
 lord

00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:18.539
 that

00:27:18.539 --> 00:27:18.559
 I

00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:18.720
 don't

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:18.919
 know

00:27:18.919 --> 00:27:19.159
 anything

00:27:19.159 --> 00:27:19.559
 about

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:19.779
 but

00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:20.000
 just

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:20.339
 being

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:20.879
 present

00:27:20.879 --> 00:27:21.460
 to

00:27:21.460 --> 00:27:21.659
 have

00:27:21.659 --> 00:27:22.460
 conversations

00:27:22.460 --> 00:27:24.339
 those

00:27:24.339 --> 00:27:24.639
 are some

00:27:24.639 --> 00:27:25.179
 opportunities

00:27:25.179 --> 00:27:25.519
 that we

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:25.879
 have

00:27:25.879 --> 00:27:26.199
 you see

00:27:26.199 --> 00:27:26.480
 because

00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:26.819
 once

00:27:26.819 --> 00:27:27.339
 the

00:27:27.339 --> 00:27:27.619
 choice

00:27:27.619 --> 00:27:27.779
 has

00:27:27.779 --> 00:27:27.899
 been

00:27:27.899 --> 00:27:28.220
 made

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:28.419
 to

00:27:28.419 --> 00:27:28.619
 serve

00:27:28.619 --> 00:27:28.779
 the

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:29.000
 Lord

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:29.240
 we

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:29.500
 must

00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:29.819
 teach

00:27:29.819 --> 00:27:30.019
 the

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.240
 coming

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:30.919
 generations

00:27:30.919 --> 00:27:32.500
 the

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:32.899
 psalmist

00:27:32.899 --> 00:27:33.099
 in

00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:33.699
 psalm 78

00:27:33.699 --> 00:27:34.059
 says

00:27:34.059 --> 00:27:34.179
 I

00:27:34.179 --> 00:27:34.359
 must

00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:34.359


00:27:34.439 --> 00:27:34.799
 recount

00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:34.980
 the

00:27:34.980 --> 00:27:35.259
 past

00:27:35.259 --> 00:27:35.640
 deeds

00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:36.220
 so

00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:36.359
 that

00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:36.519
 our

00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:36.859
 children

00:27:36.859 --> 00:27:37.099
 do

00:27:37.099 --> 00:27:37.279
 not

00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:37.640
 forget

00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:37.980
 each

00:27:37.980 --> 00:27:38.619
 generation

00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:39.379
 must

00:27:39.379 --> 00:27:39.920
 remember

00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:40.220
 that

00:27:40.220 --> 00:27:40.440
 the

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:40.859
 Lord

00:27:40.859 --> 00:27:42.299
 revealed

00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:42.579
 the

00:27:42.579 --> 00:27:42.900
 divine

00:27:42.900 --> 00:27:43.319
 oracles

00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:43.539
 to

00:27:43.539 --> 00:27:44.000
 Israel

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:45.700
 he

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:45.960
 wanted

00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:46.119
 them

00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:46.279
 to

00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:46.440
 put

00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:46.640
 their

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:47.059
 trust

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:47.240
 in

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:47.579
 God

00:27:47.579 --> 00:27:47.799
 to

00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:48.259
 remember

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:48.559
 his

00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:48.940
 deeds

00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:49.079
 and

00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:49.220
 to

00:27:49.220 --> 00:27:49.559
 keep

00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:49.940
 his

00:27:49.940 --> 00:27:50.559
 commands

00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:51.799
 okay

00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:52.099
 that's

00:27:52.099 --> 00:27:53.000
 great

00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:53.240
 why

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:53.460
 do we

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:53.619
 need

00:27:53.619 --> 00:27:53.700
 to

00:27:53.700 --> 00:27:53.819
 hear

00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:53.980
 this

00:27:53.980 --> 00:27:54.240
 today

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.559
 what's

00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:55.720
 the

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.039
 point

00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:57.220
 because

00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:57.400
 we

00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:57.619
 need

00:27:57.619 --> 00:27:57.740
 it

00:27:57.740 --> 00:27:57.879
 as

00:27:57.879 --> 00:27:58.140
 well

00:27:58.140 --> 00:28:00.660
 wouldn't

00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:00.779
 you

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:01.019
 say

00:28:01.019 --> 00:28:01.240
 that

00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:01.480
 our

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:02.079
 world

00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:02.339
 is

00:28:02.339 --> 00:28:02.480
 a

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:02.640
 little

00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:02.920
 bit

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.420
 chaotic

00:28:03.420 --> 00:28:03.740
 right

00:28:03.740 --> 00:28:04.059
 now

00:28:04.059 --> 00:28:05.940
 do

00:28:05.940 --> 00:28:06.079
 you

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:06.319
 think

00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:06.480
 that

00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:06.639
 our

00:28:06.639 --> 00:28:07.059
 world

00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:07.379
 needs

00:28:07.379 --> 00:28:07.519
 a

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:07.619
 little

00:28:07.619 --> 00:28:08.240
 realignment

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.059
 can

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:10.200
 you

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:10.639
 realign

00:28:10.639 --> 00:28:10.759
 the

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:11.000
 world

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.519
 can

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:13.659
 you

00:28:13.659 --> 00:28:14.099
 realign

00:28:14.099 --> 00:28:14.259
 your

00:28:14.259 --> 00:28:14.500
 home

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:16.519
 how's

00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:16.599
 the

00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:16.779
 world

00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:16.940
 going

00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:17.039
 to

00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:17.399
 change

00:28:17.399 --> 00:28:21.119
 we

00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:21.579
 realign

00:28:21.579 --> 00:28:22.119
 ourselves

00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:23.019
 we

00:28:23.019 --> 00:28:23.539
 realign

00:28:23.539 --> 00:28:23.679
 our

00:28:23.679 --> 00:28:24.200
 families

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:25.659
 realign

00:28:25.659 --> 00:28:25.819
 our

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:26.220
 churches

00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:26.879
 we

00:28:26.879 --> 00:28:27.299
 realign

00:28:27.299 --> 00:28:27.460
 our

00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:27.919
 communities

00:28:27.919 --> 00:28:30.299
 you

00:28:30.299 --> 00:28:30.599
 can't

00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:30.799
 fix

00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:30.940
 the

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:31.179
 world

00:28:31.179 --> 00:28:32.619
 you

00:28:32.619 --> 00:28:32.799
 can

00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:33.039
 fix

00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:33.179
 your

00:28:33.179 --> 00:28:33.440
 home

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.240
 it's

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:37.420
 very

00:28:37.420 --> 00:28:37.759
 important

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:38.000
 for

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:38.299
 us

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:38.980
 to

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:39.480
 understand

00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:39.720
 that

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:39.860
 and

00:28:39.860 --> 00:28:40.259
 understand

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:40.580
 the

00:28:40.580 --> 00:28:40.820
 role

00:28:40.820 --> 00:28:40.980
 that

00:28:40.980 --> 00:28:41.120
 we

00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:41.580
 have

00:28:41.580 --> 00:28:42.700
 because

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:43.500
 Deuteronomy

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:43.980
 gives us

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:44.519
 the command

00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:46.259
 Joshua

00:28:46.259 --> 00:28:46.860
 stresses

00:28:46.860 --> 00:28:47.620
 the choice

00:28:47.620 --> 00:28:48.299
 we must

00:28:48.299 --> 00:28:48.660
 make

00:28:48.660 --> 00:28:48.940
 and the

00:28:48.940 --> 00:28:49.320
 psalmist

00:28:49.320 --> 00:28:50.519
 shows us

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:51.259
 the responsibility

00:28:51.259 --> 00:28:51.980
 that we

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.420
 have

00:28:52.420 --> 00:28:53.420
 well you

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:53.620
 know I

00:28:53.620 --> 00:28:53.940
 don't have

00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:54.539
 kids yet

00:28:54.539 --> 00:28:55.460
 you might

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:55.900
 one day

00:28:55.900 --> 00:28:57.920
 so start

00:28:57.920 --> 00:28:58.299
 preparing

00:28:58.299 --> 00:28:58.820
 now for

00:28:58.820 --> 00:28:59.160
 what you

00:28:59.160 --> 00:28:59.539
 hope to

00:28:59.539 --> 00:28:59.820
 pass

00:28:59.820 --> 00:29:00.100
 on

00:29:00.100 --> 00:29:02.000
 well my

00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:02.420
 kids are

00:29:02.420 --> 00:29:02.680
 gone

00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.259
 as long

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:04.500
 as they're

00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:04.820
 breathing

00:29:04.820 --> 00:29:05.120
 it's

00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:05.340
 not

00:29:05.340 --> 00:29:05.560
 too

00:29:05.560 --> 00:29:05.840
 late

00:29:05.840 --> 00:29:09.259
 maybe

00:29:09.259 --> 00:29:10.400
 if

00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:10.539
 they're

00:29:10.539 --> 00:29:10.680
 not

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:10.940
 open

00:29:10.940 --> 00:29:11.160
 to

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:11.299
 it

00:29:11.299 --> 00:29:11.500
 you

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:11.640
 can

00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:11.900
 begin

00:29:11.900 --> 00:29:12.340
 preparing

00:29:12.340 --> 00:29:12.580
 to

00:29:12.580 --> 00:29:13.240
 disciple

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:13.480
 your

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:14.160
 grandkids

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:15.720
 I

00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:15.900
 don't

00:29:15.900 --> 00:29:16.120
 plan

00:29:16.120 --> 00:29:16.279
 on

00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:16.500
 having

 for

00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:19.160
 discipleship

00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:19.380
 all

00:29:19.380 --> 00:29:19.740
 Christians

00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:20.259
 can take

00:29:20.259 --> 00:29:20.500
 away

00:29:20.500 --> 00:29:21.080
 from today's

00:29:21.080 --> 00:29:21.420
 message

00:29:21.420 --> 00:29:22.539

00:29:22.539 --> 00:29:23.039
 you are

00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:23.560
 plan to

 serve

00:29:23.820 --> 00:29:24.100
 in an

00:29:24.100 --> 00:29:24.320
 area

00:29:24.320 --> 00:29:24.660
 where you

00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:24.799
 can

00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:25.140
 invest

00:29:25.140 --> 00:29:25.299
 in

00:29:25.299 --> 00:29:25.519
 someone

00:29:26.100 --> 00:29:26.279
 I

00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:26.460

00:29:26.460 --> 00:29:26.600
 we

00:29:26.600 --> 00:29:26.799
 heard

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:26.960
 an

00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:27.279
 appeal

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:27.519
 this

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:27.779
 morning

00:29:27.779 --> 00:29:28.019
 from

 somebody

00:29:28.420 --> 00:29:28.660
 right

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:31.019
 there's

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:31.140
 some

00:29:31.140 --> 00:29:31.660
 opportunities

00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:32.220
 here to

00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:32.640
 invest

00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:32.920
 in the

00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:33.120
 younger

00:29:33.120 --> 00:29:33.740
 generation

00:29:33.740 --> 00:29:34.440

00:29:34.560 --> 00:29:34.960
 everyone

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:35.519

00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:35.800
 I said

00:29:35.800 --> 00:29:36.080
 I don't

00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:36.759
 want us

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:37.580
 to suffer

00:29:37.580 --> 00:29:37.860
 I mean

 learn alone

00:29:38.500 --> 00:29:38.840

 I want to

00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:39.960

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:40.279
 I'm getting

00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:44.320
 challenged a

 group of

00:29:44.620 --> 00:29:45.320
 student pastors

00:29:45.320 --> 00:29:46.560
 at a conference

00:29:46.560 --> 00:29:47.140
 I attended

00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:47.779
 years ago

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:48.200
 with this

00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:48.519
 I found

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:49.000
 this very

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:49.540
 interesting

00:29:49.540 --> 00:29:49.820
 and I

00:29:49.820 --> 00:29:50.080
 said you

00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:50.220
 know

00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:50.480
 what

00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:51.180
 I'm

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:51.720
 going to

00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:52.200
 do this

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:52.519
 with my

00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:52.960
 students

00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:53.300
 I want

00:29:53.300 --> 00:29:53.580

00:29:53.580 --> 00:29:53.900

00:29:54.140 --> 00:29:54.620
 this stuff

00:29:54.620 --> 00:29:54.860
 up

00:29:54.859 --> 00:29:56.919
 so he

00:29:56.919 --> 00:29:57.219
 said to

00:29:57.219 --> 00:29:57.599
 ask a

00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:57.979
 group of

00:29:57.979 --> 00:29:58.319
 students

00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:58.719
 like I

00:29:58.719 --> 00:29:59.019
 said I

00:29:59.019 --> 00:29:59.419
 took this

00:29:59.419 --> 00:29:59.799

00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:03.479
 the time

00:30:03.479 --> 00:30:03.719
 I was a

00:30:03.899 --> 00:30:04.240

00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:05.119

00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:05.519
 ask them

00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:05.859
 how many

00:30:05.859 --> 00:30:06.059

00:30:06.679 --> 00:30:07.019
 with your

00:30:10.159 --> 00:30:11.019
 4-6%

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:12.559
 he was

00:30:16.719 --> 00:30:17.179

00:30:17.179 --> 00:30:18.159
 again

00:30:18.159 --> 00:30:18.619
 he said

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:18.819
 about

00:30:18.819 --> 00:30:19.639

00:30:36.299 --> 00:30:36.859
 and

00:30:36.859 --> 00:30:37.000
 then

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.139
 he

00:30:37.139 --> 00:30:37.379
 said

00:33:18.619 --> 00:33:18.980
 I

00:33:19.199 --> 00:33:19.339
 really

00:33:19.339 --> 00:33:19.500
 do

00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:19.699
 that

00:33:19.699 --> 00:33:19.699


00:33:19.700 --> 00:33:19.860
 because

00:33:19.860 --> 00:33:19.960
 I

00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:20.160
 couldn't

00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:20.559
 relate

00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:21.380
 but

 you

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:21.620
 know

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:23.319
 there

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:24.059
 so

00:33:24.059 --> 00:33:24.860
 because

00:33:24.860 --> 00:33:25.180
 those

00:33:25.180 --> 00:33:25.740
 kids

00:33:25.740 --> 00:33:26.819
 need

00:33:26.819 --> 00:33:27.039
 to be

00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:27.200
 in

00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:27.519
 church

00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:29.480
 and I

00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:30.100
 tell you

00:33:30.100 --> 00:33:30.319
 what

00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:30.539
 I

00:33:30.539 --> 00:33:31.039
 dropped

00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:31.340
 them

00:33:31.340 --> 00:33:31.840
 off

00:33:31.840 --> 00:33:32.140
 you

00:33:32.140 --> 00:33:32.380
 don't

00:33:32.380 --> 00:33:32.600
 know

00:33:32.600 --> 00:33:32.840
 how

00:33:32.840 --> 00:33:33.140
 hard

00:33:33.140 --> 00:33:33.259
 it

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:33.500
 was

00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:33.640
 to

00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:34.000
 adjust

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:34.240
 my

00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:34.620
 schedule

00:33:34.620 --> 00:33:35.240
 so I

00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:35.380
 could

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:35.779
 drop

00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:36.000
 them

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:36.279
 off

00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:36.440
 so

00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:37.779
 that

00:33:37.779 --> 00:33:37.920
 doesn't

00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:38.059
 even

00:33:38.059 --> 00:33:38.480
 sound

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:38.799
 good

00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:39.100
 does

00:33:39.100 --> 00:33:39.480
 it

00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:42.039
 that's

00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:42.180
 what

00:33:42.180 --> 00:33:42.600
 happens

00:33:42.600 --> 00:33:46.180
 sorry

00:33:46.180 --> 00:33:46.559
 folks

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:46.960
 that's

00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:47.420
 not

00:33:47.420 --> 00:33:47.920
 God's

00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:48.220
 plan

00:33:48.220 --> 00:33:49.740
 for

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:50.440
 discipleship

00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.539
 and

00:33:53.539 --> 00:33:53.759

00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:54.140
 family

00:33:54.140 --> 00:33:54.339
 who

00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:54.559
 did

00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:54.839
 just

00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:55.220
 that

00:33:55.220 --> 00:33:56.779
 we

00:33:56.779 --> 00:33:57.120
 dropped

00:33:57.120 --> 00:33:57.460
 them

00:33:57.460 --> 00:33:57.900
 off

00:33:57.900 --> 00:33:58.420
 every

00:33:58.420 --> 00:33:58.839
 time

00:33:58.839 --> 00:33:59.640
 the

00:33:59.640 --> 00:33:59.900
 door

00:33:59.900 --> 00:34:00.160
 was

00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:00.480
 open

00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:00.819
 we

00:34:00.819 --> 00:34:01.019
 went

00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:01.220
 to

00:34:01.220 --> 00:34:01.539
 serve

00:34:01.539 --> 00:34:01.680
 in

00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:01.980
 another

00:34:01.980 --> 00:34:02.620
 place

00:34:02.620 --> 00:34:04.640
 all

00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:04.799
 the

00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:05.039
 while

00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:05.600
 honestly

00:34:05.600 --> 00:34:06.160
 believed

00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:06.460
 we

00:34:06.460 --> 00:34:06.680
 were

00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:06.980
 doing

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:07.220
 the

 I

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:09.340
 wish

00:34:09.340 --> 00:34:09.639
 someone

00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:09.840
 had

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:10.179

00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:16.699
 important

00:36:16.699 --> 00:36:17.300
 influence

00:36:17.300 --> 00:36:17.460
 in

00:36:17.460 --> 00:36:17.599
 their

00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:18.099
 lives

00:36:18.099 --> 00:36:21.880
 right

00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:23.279
 it's

00:36:23.279 --> 00:36:23.519
 kind of

00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:23.699
 like

00:36:23.699 --> 00:36:23.900
 when

00:36:23.900 --> 00:36:24.219
 somebody

00:36:24.219 --> 00:36:24.519
 says

00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:24.759
 hey

00:36:24.759 --> 00:36:25.019
 man

00:36:25.019 --> 00:36:25.420

 everywhere

00:36:25.860 --> 00:36:26.119
 he

00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:26.279
 will

00:36:26.279 --> 00:36:26.500
 never

00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:26.759
 leave

00:36:26.759 --> 00:36:26.880
 you

00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:27.320
 forsake

00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:27.440
 you

00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:27.579
 he

00:36:27.579 --> 00:36:27.820
 knows

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:28.119
 what's

00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:28.320
 going

00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:28.519
 on

00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:28.719
 man

00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:29.019
 that's

00:36:29.019 --> 00:36:29.779
 oh

00:36:29.779 --> 00:36:32.279
 he's

00:36:32.279 --> 00:36:32.659
 everywhere

00:36:32.659 --> 00:36:33.239
 he sees

00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:33.659
 everything

00:36:33.659 --> 00:36:33.940
 he knows

00:36:33.940 --> 00:36:34.139
 what's

00:36:34.139 --> 00:36:34.340
 going

00:36:34.340 --> 00:36:34.639
 on

00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:36.079
 I'm

00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:36.219
 my

00:36:36.219 --> 00:36:36.480
 kid's

00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:36.839
 hero

00:36:36.839 --> 00:36:37.219
 I'm

00:36:37.219 --> 00:36:37.339
 the

00:36:37.339 --> 00:36:37.639
 most

00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:38.299
 powerful

00:36:38.299 --> 00:36:38.839
 influence

00:36:38.839 --> 00:36:39.219
 oh

00:36:39.219 --> 00:36:39.539
 man

00:36:39.539 --> 00:36:39.659
 I

00:36:39.659 --> 00:36:39.819
 better

00:36:39.819 --> 00:36:40.079
 step

00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:40.199
 it

00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:40.420
 up

00:36:40.420 --> 00:36:42.759
 you

00:36:42.759 --> 00:36:42.900
 see

00:36:42.900 --> 00:36:43.259
 contrary

00:36:43.259 --> 00:36:43.420
 to

00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:43.559
 what

00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:43.819
 parents

00:36:43.819 --> 00:36:44.219
 think

00:36:44.219 --> 00:36:45.879
 kids

00:36:45.879 --> 00:36:46.159
 say

00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:46.440
 mom

00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:46.739
 and dad

00:36:46.739 --> 00:36:46.879
 have

00:36:46.879 --> 00:36:47.000
 the

00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:47.259
 biggest

00:36:47.259 --> 00:36:47.799
 impact

00:36:47.799 --> 00:36:47.980
 on

00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:48.119
 the

00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:48.420
 choices

00:36:48.420 --> 00:36:48.639
 they

00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:49.019
 make

00:36:49.019 --> 00:36:49.879
 ages

00:36:49.879 --> 00:36:50.359
 13

00:36:50.359 --> 00:36:50.519

00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:50.980
 24

00:36:50.980 --> 00:36:51.199
 were

00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:51.420
 asked

00:36:51.420 --> 00:36:51.599
 what

00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:51.819
 makes

00:36:51.819 --> 00:36:51.960
 you

00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:52.400
 happy

00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:53.259
 spending

00:36:53.259 --> 00:36:53.559
 time

00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:53.739
 with

00:36:53.739 --> 00:36:54.059
 family

00:36:54.059 --> 00:36:54.279
 was

00:36:54.279 --> 00:36:54.420
 the

00:36:54.420 --> 00:36:54.699
 top

00:36:54.699 --> 00:36:55.059
 answer

00:36:55.059 --> 00:36:55.400
 nearly

00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:55.900
 half

00:36:55.900 --> 00:36:56.099
 of

00:36:56.099 --> 00:36:56.379
 teens

00:36:56.379 --> 00:36:56.799
 mention

00:36:56.799 --> 00:36:57.019
 at

00:36:57.019 --> 00:36:57.219
 least

00:36:57.219 --> 00:36:57.480
 one

00:36:57.480 --> 00:36:57.579
 of

00:36:57.579 --> 00:36:57.699
 their

00:36:57.699 --> 00:36:58.119
 parents

00:36:58.119 --> 00:36:58.420
 as

00:36:58.420 --> 00:36:58.579
 a

00:36:58.579 --> 00:36:58.900
 hero

00:36:58.900 --> 00:36:59.699
 and

00:36:59.699 --> 00:36:59.819
 the

00:36:59.819 --> 00:37:00.239
 research

00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:00.779
 concludes

00:37:00.780 --> 00:37:01.019
 with

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:01.300
 this

00:37:01.300 --> 00:37:01.700
 parents

00:37:01.700 --> 00:37:02.000
 play

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:02.140
 an

00:37:02.140 --> 00:37:02.640
 extremely

00:37:02.640 --> 00:37:03.300
 important

00:37:03.300 --> 00:37:03.720
 role

00:37:03.720 --> 00:37:04.400
 in the

00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:04.840
 developing

00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:05.440
 religious

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:05.980
 attitudes

00:37:05.980 --> 00:37:06.720
 and practices

00:37:06.720 --> 00:37:07.760
 in their

00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:08.220
 kids

00:37:08.220 --> 00:37:11.320
 but here's

00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:12.480
 the comments

00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:13.019
 that I usually

00:37:13.019 --> 00:37:13.340
 hear

00:37:13.340 --> 00:37:15.860
 I can't

00:37:15.860 --> 00:37:16.700
 do it

00:37:16.700 --> 00:37:17.480
 yes

00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:18.120
 you can

00:37:18.120 --> 00:37:19.600
 yes

00:37:19.600 --> 00:37:20.280
 you can

00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:21.220
 repeat

00:37:21.220 --> 00:37:21.800
 after me

00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:22.400
 I can

00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:22.960
 do this

00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.200
 oh

00:37:25.200 --> 00:37:25.480
 that's the

00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:25.940
 reason why

00:37:25.940 --> 00:37:26.540
 you can't

00:37:26.540 --> 00:37:27.120
 right there

00:37:27.120 --> 00:37:29.160
 I can

00:37:29.160 --> 00:37:29.880
 do this

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:31.760
 no you

00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:32.400
 can't

00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:33.860
 I can

00:37:33.860 --> 00:37:34.579
 do this

00:37:34.579 --> 00:37:36.579
 now

00:37:36.579 --> 00:37:37.059
 now you

00:37:37.059 --> 00:37:37.320
 can

00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:37.680
 now you're

00:37:37.680 --> 00:37:38.079
 moving in

00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:38.400
 the right

00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:38.980
 direction

00:37:38.980 --> 00:37:40.140
 God wants

00:37:40.140 --> 00:37:40.400
 me to

00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:40.980
 do this

00:37:40.980 --> 00:37:42.780
 God

00:37:42.780 --> 00:37:43.380
 wants me

00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:43.800
 to do

00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:44.320
 this

00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:46.500
 I carry

00:37:46.500 --> 00:37:46.780
 more

00:37:46.780 --> 00:37:47.480
 influence

00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:49.579
 if y'all

00:37:49.579 --> 00:37:50.099
 don't start

00:37:50.099 --> 00:37:50.720
 talking loud

00:37:50.720 --> 00:37:50.960
 I'm gonna

00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:51.460
 start throwing

00:37:51.460 --> 00:37:52.099
 these ping pong

00:37:52.099 --> 00:37:52.440
 balls

00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:56.380
 I carry

00:37:56.380 --> 00:37:56.880
 more

00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:57.760
 influence

00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:00.760
 than I

00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:01.280
 give myself

00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:01.700
 credit

00:38:01.700 --> 00:38:02.080
 for

00:38:02.080 --> 00:38:06.240
 now here's

00:38:06.240 --> 00:38:06.600
 what I want

00:38:06.600 --> 00:38:07.000
 you to do

00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:07.900
 I want you

00:38:07.900 --> 00:38:08.480
 to say that

00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:08.840
 until you

00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:09.360
 believe it

00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:10.220
 and then I

00:38:10.220 --> 00:38:10.640
 want you to

00:38:10.640 --> 00:38:10.960
 say it

00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:11.380
 because you

00:38:11.380 --> 00:38:11.880
 believe it

00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:13.200
 do you

00:38:13.200 --> 00:38:13.780
 realize that

00:38:13.780 --> 00:38:14.040
 there are

00:38:14.040 --> 00:38:14.660
 times when I

00:38:14.660 --> 00:38:15.140
 struggle to

00:38:15.140 --> 00:38:15.680
 answer my

00:38:15.680 --> 00:38:16.380
 kids questions

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:16.800
 about the

00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:17.040
 Bible

00:38:17.040 --> 00:38:17.800
 I have a

00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:18.420
 masters of

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:18.840
 divinity

00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:19.480
 with biblical

00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:20.040
 languages

00:38:20.040 --> 00:38:22.080
 okay

00:38:22.080 --> 00:38:22.960
 I took

00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:23.680
 two semesters

00:38:23.680 --> 00:38:24.220
 of Hebrew

00:38:24.220 --> 00:38:25.000
 four semesters

00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:25.540
 of Greek

00:38:25.540 --> 00:38:26.020

00:38:26.020 --> 00:38:26.540
 background

00:38:26.539 --> 00:38:27.139
 systematic

00:38:27.139 --> 00:38:27.639
 theology

00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:27.880
 and a

00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:28.039
 bunch

00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:28.300
 of other

00:38:28.300 --> 00:38:28.579
 things

00:38:28.579 --> 00:38:29.059
 I can't

00:38:29.059 --> 00:38:29.300
 say

00:38:29.300 --> 00:38:31.779
 I don't

00:38:31.779 --> 00:38:32.139
 know

00:38:32.139 --> 00:38:32.860
 there are

00:38:32.860 --> 00:38:33.320
 times they

00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:33.820
 ask me

00:38:33.820 --> 00:38:34.579
 questions that

00:38:34.579 --> 00:38:34.820
 I don't

00:38:34.820 --> 00:38:35.239
 have any

00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:35.860
 answers to

00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:37.940
 we all

00:38:37.940 --> 00:38:38.279
 are gonna

00:38:38.279 --> 00:38:39.000
 be in that

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:39.659
 situation

00:38:39.659 --> 00:38:41.239
 I mean

00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:41.980
 sometimes

00:38:41.980 --> 00:38:43.119
 I have to

00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:43.440
 say I

00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:43.980
 don't know

00:38:43.980 --> 00:38:44.900
 dad doesn't

00:38:44.900 --> 00:38:45.119
 know

00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:45.539
 everything

00:38:45.539 --> 00:38:46.779
 I'll have

00:38:46.779 --> 00:38:47.099
 to look

00:38:47.099 --> 00:38:47.619
 it up

00:38:47.619 --> 00:38:48.719
 but I'm

00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:49.380
 grateful that

00:38:49.380 --> 00:38:49.860
 we're having

00:38:49.860 --> 00:38:50.759
 the conversations

00:38:50.759 --> 00:38:51.800
 and we can

00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:52.320
 seek these

00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:53.119
 answers together

00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:54.159
 as a family

00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:55.279
 oh well

00:38:55.279 --> 00:38:55.659
 you know

00:38:55.659 --> 00:38:56.099
 the Bible

00:38:56.099 --> 00:38:56.980
 is too

00:38:56.980 --> 00:38:57.559
 confusing

00:38:57.559 --> 00:38:57.920
 it's

00:38:57.920 --> 00:38:58.519
 intimidating

00:38:58.519 --> 00:38:59.319
 okay

00:38:59.319 --> 00:39:00.719
 so you

00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:01.239
 believe

00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:01.739
 things

00:39:01.739 --> 00:39:02.079
 in the

00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:02.379
 Bible

00:39:02.379 --> 00:39:02.879
 but don't

00:39:02.879 --> 00:39:03.139
 fully

00:39:03.139 --> 00:39:03.779
 understand

00:39:03.779 --> 00:39:04.059
 them

00:39:04.059 --> 00:39:04.460
 you ever

00:39:04.460 --> 00:39:04.719
 had that

00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:05.019
 problem

00:39:05.019 --> 00:39:05.859
 welcome

00:39:05.859 --> 00:39:06.199
 to the

00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:06.719
 club

00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:09.940
 dig

00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:10.359
 study

00:39:10.359 --> 00:39:10.879
 prepare

00:39:10.879 --> 00:39:11.460
 beg God

00:39:11.460 --> 00:39:12.119
 for guidance

00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:12.719
 do we

00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:13.079
 give up

00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:13.699
 so easily

00:39:13.699 --> 00:39:14.159
 in other

00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:14.639
 areas

00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:15.839
 no

00:39:15.839 --> 00:39:16.879
 why

00:39:16.879 --> 00:39:17.199
 aren't we

00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:17.659
 giving up

00:39:17.659 --> 00:39:17.879
 on the

00:39:17.879 --> 00:39:18.619
 most important

00:39:18.619 --> 00:39:19.000
 thing

00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:19.359
 God has

00:39:19.359 --> 00:39:19.779
 asked us

00:39:19.779 --> 00:39:20.099
 to do

00:39:20.099 --> 00:39:20.759
 as parents

00:39:20.759 --> 00:39:22.119
 we get

00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:22.359
 on the

00:39:22.359 --> 00:39:22.659
 internet

00:39:22.659 --> 00:39:23.339
 go ask

00:39:23.339 --> 00:39:23.859
 questions

00:39:23.859 --> 00:39:24.579
 ladies

00:39:24.579 --> 00:39:24.980
 you know

00:39:24.980 --> 00:39:25.319
 you be

00:39:25.319 --> 00:39:25.719
 shopping

00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:26.059
 all the

00:39:26.059 --> 00:39:26.299
 time

00:39:26.299 --> 00:39:26.759
 looking up

00:39:26.759 --> 00:39:27.019
 stuff

00:39:27.019 --> 00:39:27.340
 anyway

00:39:27.340 --> 00:39:27.699
 for the

00:39:27.699 --> 00:39:27.940
 best

00:39:27.940 --> 00:39:28.400
 deals

00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:29.159
 don't

00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:29.480
 tell me

00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:29.920
 you can't

00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:30.299
 research

00:39:30.299 --> 00:39:30.799
 something

00:39:30.799 --> 00:39:31.159
 on the

00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:31.440
 internet

00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:32.279
 you lying

00:39:32.279 --> 00:39:36.099
 here's

00:39:36.099 --> 00:39:37.179
 what must

00:39:37.179 --> 00:39:37.840
 be avoided

00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:39.880
 refusing to

00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:40.139
 get our

00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:40.799
 children acquainted

00:39:40.799 --> 00:39:41.079
 with the

00:39:41.079 --> 00:39:41.340
 Bible

00:39:41.340 --> 00:39:42.679
 just because

00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:43.259
 it's hard

00:39:43.259 --> 00:39:44.139
 or intimidating

00:39:44.139 --> 00:39:45.679
 as parents

00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:46.179
 it's our

00:39:46.179 --> 00:39:46.779
 responsibility

00:39:46.779 --> 00:39:48.079
 and it's a

00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:48.759
 crucial one

00:39:48.759 --> 00:39:50.139
 in his book

00:39:50.139 --> 00:39:50.579
 on heaven

00:39:50.579 --> 00:39:51.000
 D.L.

00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:51.259
 Moody

00:39:51.259 --> 00:39:51.819
 spoke about

00:39:51.819 --> 00:39:52.199
 a father

00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:52.659
 that he met

00:39:52.659 --> 00:39:53.179
 in New York

00:39:53.179 --> 00:39:54.279
 the father

00:39:54.279 --> 00:39:54.879
 had a son

00:39:54.879 --> 00:39:55.179
 who was

00:39:55.179 --> 00:39:55.799
 periodically

00:39:55.799 --> 00:39:56.359
 ill

00:39:56.359 --> 00:39:57.659
 no one

00:39:57.659 --> 00:39:58.139
 really thought

00:39:58.139 --> 00:39:58.539
 his illness

00:39:58.539 --> 00:39:59.119
 was serious

00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:00.059
 until the

00:40:00.059 --> 00:40:00.639
 child took

00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:00.980
 a turn

00:40:00.980 --> 00:40:01.259
 for the

00:40:01.259 --> 00:40:01.599
 worse

00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:03.139
 when the

00:40:03.139 --> 00:40:03.480
 doctor

00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:04.399
 came to

00:40:04.399 --> 00:40:04.799
 the parents

00:40:04.799 --> 00:40:05.259
 and informed

00:40:05.259 --> 00:40:05.639
 the mother

00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:06.019
 that the

00:40:06.019 --> 00:40:07.139
 boy's disease

00:40:07.139 --> 00:40:07.779
 was terminal

00:40:07.779 --> 00:40:08.500
 he wouldn't

00:40:08.500 --> 00:40:08.899
 live

00:40:08.899 --> 00:40:10.139
 but for a

00:40:10.139 --> 00:40:10.460
 few more

00:40:10.460 --> 00:40:10.839
 days

00:40:10.839 --> 00:40:12.779
 when the

00:40:12.779 --> 00:40:13.259
 father came

00:40:13.259 --> 00:40:13.619
 home from

00:40:13.619 --> 00:40:14.019
 work that

00:40:14.019 --> 00:40:14.219
 night

00:40:14.219 --> 00:40:14.500
 he saw

00:40:14.500 --> 00:40:14.879
 his wife

00:40:14.879 --> 00:40:15.279
 weeping

00:40:15.279 --> 00:40:15.779
 and asked

00:40:15.779 --> 00:40:16.299
 her why

00:40:16.299 --> 00:40:17.119
 there's been

00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:17.480
 a great

00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:18.079
 change in

00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:18.480
 our boy

00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:19.139
 since morning

00:40:19.139 --> 00:40:19.500
 the mother

00:40:19.500 --> 00:40:19.819
 said

00:40:19.820 --> 00:40:20.880
 the doctor

00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:21.320
 tells me

00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:21.539
 that he

00:40:21.539 --> 00:40:21.940
 is very

00:40:21.940 --> 00:40:22.220
 ill

00:40:22.220 --> 00:40:22.440
 and he

00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:22.820
 may not

00:40:22.820 --> 00:40:23.140
 live out

00:40:23.140 --> 00:40:23.519
 the night

00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:25.080
 when the

00:40:25.080 --> 00:40:25.480
 father went

00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:25.860
 in to see

00:40:25.860 --> 00:40:26.220
 his son

00:40:26.220 --> 00:40:26.420
 it was

00:40:26.420 --> 00:40:26.800
 apparent

00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:27.120
 that the

00:40:27.120 --> 00:40:27.640
 boy knew

00:40:27.640 --> 00:40:27.980
 what was

00:40:27.980 --> 00:40:28.519
 going on

00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:29.240
 he looked

00:40:29.240 --> 00:40:29.700
 up at

00:40:29.700 --> 00:40:30.140
 his dad

00:40:30.140 --> 00:40:30.500
 and said

00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:30.900
 I will

00:40:30.900 --> 00:40:31.320
 be with

00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:31.600
 Jesus

00:40:31.600 --> 00:40:32.059
 tonight

00:40:32.059 --> 00:40:32.519
 won't I

00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:34.400
 the father

00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:34.720
 answered

00:40:34.720 --> 00:40:35.300
 yes son

00:40:35.300 --> 00:40:37.000
 it's very

00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:37.680
 likely that

00:40:37.680 --> 00:40:37.940
 you will

00:40:37.940 --> 00:40:38.280
 be with

00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:38.559
 Jesus

00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:39.000
 tonight

00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.400
 as the

00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:41.640
 father

00:40:41.640 --> 00:40:42.039
 spoke

00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:42.360
 tears

00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:42.760
 streamed

00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:42.880
 down

00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:43.019
 his

00:40:43.019 --> 00:40:43.300
 face

00:40:43.300 --> 00:40:43.519
 and he

00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:43.740
 tried

00:40:43.740 --> 00:40:44.080
 to hide

00:40:44.080 --> 00:40:44.100
!

00:40:44.100 --> 00:40:44.240
 them

00:40:44.240 --> 00:40:44.600
 from his

00:40:44.600 --> 00:40:44.940
 boy

00:40:44.940 --> 00:40:45.680
 but the

00:40:45.680 --> 00:40:45.900
 boy

00:40:45.900 --> 00:40:46.380
 saw the

00:40:46.380 --> 00:40:46.680
 tears

00:40:46.680 --> 00:40:46.700
!

00:40:49.820 --> 00:40:50.220
 because

00:40:50.220 --> 00:40:50.539
 when I

00:40:50.539 --> 00:40:50.800
 get up

00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:50.920
 to

00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:51.160
 heaven

00:40:51.160 --> 00:40:53.519
 I'm

00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:53.620
 going to

00:40:53.620 --> 00:40:53.760
 go

00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:53.980
 straight

00:40:53.980 --> 00:40:54.140
 to

00:40:54.140 --> 00:40:54.460
 Jesus

00:40:54.460 --> 00:40:55.840
 and

00:40:55.840 --> 00:40:56.019
 I'm

00:40:56.019 --> 00:40:56.100
 going

00:40:56.100 --> 00:40:56.180
 to

00:40:56.180 --> 00:40:56.360
 tell

00:40:56.360 --> 00:40:56.580
 him

00:40:56.580 --> 00:40:57.720
 that

00:40:57.720 --> 00:40:57.940
 ever

00:40:57.940 --> 00:40:58.180
 since

00:40:58.180 --> 00:40:58.340
 I

00:40:58.340 --> 00:40:58.500
 can

00:40:58.500 --> 00:40:58.900
 remember

 you

00:40:59.660 --> 00:40:59.840
 have

00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:00.920
 to

00:41:07.820 --> 00:41:08.120
 the end

00:41:08.120 --> 00:41:08.559
 result

00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:09.340
 we as

00:41:12.580 --> 00:41:12.980
 people

00:41:12.980 --> 00:41:13.220
