AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.13\00:00:07.14
JESUS SAID, 'I SAY TO
YOU, WHOEVER IS ANGRY WITH HIS
00:00:13.98\00:00:17.11
BROTHER WITHOUT A CAUSE, SHALL
BE IN DANGER OF THE JUDGMENT.'
00:00:17.15\00:00:20.72
NOW DON'T MISS THAT JESUS
SAID 'WITHOUT A CAUSE' - MEANING
00:00:20.75\00:00:24.52
THERE MAY BE A TIME
WHEN ANGER IS APPROPRIATE.
00:00:24.55\00:00:31.06
I HOPE YOU ARE ALL IN A GOOD
MOOD BECAUSE I'M GOING TO TALK
00:00:32.66\00:00:35.66
ABOUT ANGER; AND IF
YOU'RE ALREADY ANGRY THIS MAY GO
00:00:35.70\00:00:40.24
THE WRONG WAY.
00:00:40.27\00:00:42.37
THE MESSAGE TITLE TODAY IS
00:00:42.40\00:00:45.04
DEALING WITH, WHAT MAY
SOUND LIKE AN OXYMORON,
00:00:45.07\00:00:47.71
THE ANGRY CHRISTIAN.
YOU KNOW, BACK IN MARCH THIS
00:00:47.74\00:00:51.91
YEAR, THERE WAS A PLANE
THAT WAS TRAVELING FROM LAS
00:00:51.95\00:00:55.72
VEGAS TO HAWAII.
SOMETIME SHORTLY AFTER THEY
00:00:55.75\00:00:59.52
FINALLY PASSED OVER THE PACIFIC
OCEAN, ONE OF THE PASSENGERS
00:00:59.55\00:01:04.96
BECAME VERY AGITATED BECAUSE
THEY ASKED FOR A BLANKET - I
00:01:04.99\00:01:10.00
GUESS THE PLANE WAS COLD - AND
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT SAID IT WAS
00:01:10.03\00:01:14.30
TWELVE DOLLARS FOR ONE OF THEIR
BLANKETS. AND HE SAID, 'THAT'S
00:01:14.34\00:01:19.47
NOT REASONABLE.' HE SAID,
'YOU'RE THE ONES MAKING THE
00:01:19.51\00:01:22.24
PLANE COLD.' THEY SAID, 'WE'RE
SORRY, THAT'S JUST WHAT IT IS
00:01:22.28\00:01:25.31
FOR ONE OF THE BLANKETS.'
AND IT TURNED INTO QUITE A STIR.
00:01:25.35\00:01:32.25
AT ONE POINT THEN, THE
66-YEAR-OLD MAN THREATENED TO
00:01:32.29\00:01:35.46
TAKE THE FLIGHT
ATTENDANT OUT TO THE WOODSHED.
00:01:35.49\00:01:39.29
THEY WEREN'T SURE EXACTLY WHAT
THAT MEANT, BUT THEY TOOK IT AS
00:01:39.33\00:01:41.63
A THREAT AND THEY WERE AFRAID -
'YOU KNOW, IF THIS FELLA'S GOT A
00:01:41.66\00:01:45.30
TEMPER AND WE GET OUT OVER THE
MIDDLE OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN, WHO
00:01:45.33\00:01:50.51
KNOWS WHAT COULD
HAPPEN AT THAT POINT?'
00:01:50.54\00:01:53.07
SO THEY TURNED BACK AND
THEY SCHEDULED - THEY MADE AN
00:01:53.11\00:01:56.24
UNSCHEDULED LANDING THERE AT LAX
- LOS ANGELES - AND EVERYBODY
00:01:56.28\00:02:01.12
WAS DELAYED FOR HOURS.
THEY ESCORTED THE MAN OFF THE
00:02:01.15\00:02:04.72
PLANE - PROBABLY
WRECKED HIS HAWAII VACATION.
00:02:04.75\00:02:10.19
SOMEBODY COMMENTED LATER,
THEY SAID, 'IT COST THE AIRLINE
00:02:10.23\00:02:14.30
$12,000.00 TO MAKE THAT
UNSCHEDULED LANDING BECAUSE OF A
00:02:14.30\00:02:19.13
DISPUTE OVER A $12.00 BLANKET.
ANGER IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE.
00:02:19.17\00:02:25.97
YOU READ FIRST IN THE BIBLE
WHERE CAIN BECAME ANGRY WITH HIS
00:02:26.01\00:02:29.91
BROTHER AND GOD ASKED
CAIN, 'WHY ARE YOU ANGRY?'
00:02:29.94\00:02:34.25
IF THERE'S SIN AT THE DOOR,
YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH THAT.
00:02:34.28\00:02:37.95
THAT ANGER IN THE HEART OF CAIN
LED HIM TO KILL HIS BROTHER.
00:02:37.99\00:02:43.26
THE BIBLE TELLS US JESUS SAID,
'I SAY TO YOU, WHOEVER IS ANGRY
00:02:43.29\00:02:46.90
WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A
CAUSE, SHALL BE IN DANGER OF THE
00:02:46.93\00:02:50.33
JUDGMENT.' NOW DON'T MISS THAT
JESUS SAID, 'WITHOUT A CAUSE' -
00:02:50.37\00:02:54.54
MEANING THERE MAY BE A
TIME WHEN ANGER IS APPROPRIATE.
00:02:54.57\00:02:59.21
1 JOHN 3:12, "NOT AS CAIN
WHO WAS OF THE WICKED ONE AND
00:02:59.24\00:03:04.01
MURDERED HIS BROTHER.
AND WHY DID HE MURDER HIM?
00:03:04.05\00:03:07.58
BECAUSE HIS WORKS WERE EVIL
AND HIS BROTHER'S RIGHTEOUS."
00:03:07.62\00:03:10.75
SO THAT'S THE ANSWER WHY SOME
PEOPLE BECOME ANGRY, IS BECAUSE
00:03:10.79\00:03:13.12
THEY'RE WRONG. I THINK
IT WAS CHARLES DE GAULLE
00:03:13.15\00:03:16.56
WHO SAID, 'WHEN
I'M RIGHT I GET ANGRY.
00:03:16.59\00:03:20.13
WINSTON CHURCHILL, ON THE OTHER
HAND, 'WHEN HE'S WRONG HE GETS
00:03:20.16\00:03:23.16
ANGRY. SO WE
OFTEN ARGUE WITH EACH
00:03:23.20\00:03:25.17
OTHER BECAUSE I'M
RIGHT AND HE'S WRONG.'
00:03:25.20\00:03:28.47
WHAT DE GAULLE
SAID. BUT IT'S TRUE.
00:03:28.50\00:03:31.84
SOMETIMES WE BECOME
ANGRY BECAUSE SOMEONE'S RIGHT.
00:03:31.87\00:03:34.78
1 JOHN 3:15, "WHOEVER HATES HIS
BROTHER IS A MURDERER, AND YOU
00:03:34.81\00:03:38.61
KNOW THAT NO MURDERER HAS
ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING IN HIM."
00:03:38.65\00:03:41.75
WELL, MAYBE BEFORE WE GO ANY
FARTHER, IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA
00:03:41.78\00:03:44.12
TO JUST - LET'S LOOK AT A SIMPLE
DEFINITION - WHAT IS ANGER?
00:03:44.15\00:03:47.82
ANGER, A NOUN, 'A STRONG FEELING
OF DISPLEASURE, BELLIGERENCE,
00:03:47.86\00:03:52.56
HOSTILITY, OR WRATH AROUSED BY
SOME REAL OR PERCEIVED WRONG.'
00:03:52.59\00:03:58.10
THAT'S ANGER. NOW,
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED
00:03:58.13\00:04:01.77
THAT THERE IS GOOD ANGER.
ROMANS 1:18, "FOR THE WRATH OF
00:04:01.80\00:04:07.48
GOD IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN
AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND
00:04:07.51\00:04:11.41
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF
MEN, WHO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH
00:04:11.45\00:04:14.42
IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS." SO
DOES GOD EVER GET ANGRY?
00:04:14.45\00:04:19.05
SEE, WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE
OF GOD AND THERE IS A PASSION -
00:04:19.09\00:04:22.16
THERE IS A RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
- THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE
00:04:22.19\00:04:26.93
EMOTION OF ANGER THAT WE SHOULD
ALL HAVE INSIDE TOWARDS THE
00:04:26.96\00:04:32.77
JUST PURPOSES. JESUS GOT ANGRY.
00:04:32.80\00:04:39.51
MARK 3:1, "AND WHEN HE
HAD LOOKED AROUND AT THEM WITH
00:04:39.54\00:04:43.28
ANGER," - CAN'T BE MISUNDERSTOOD
- "BEING GRIEVED BY THE HARDNESS
00:04:43.31\00:04:47.05
OF THEIR HEARTS." -
THEY WERE MAD THAT HE WAS
00:04:47.08\00:04:49.82
GOING TO HEAL THIS MAN. HE
SAID TO THE MAN, 'STRETCH OUT
00:04:49.85\00:04:52.65
YOUR HAND.' HE STRETCHED
IT OUT AND HE WAS RESTORED.
00:04:52.69\00:04:56.39
HE BECAME ANGRY AT
THEIR COLD HEARTEDNESS.
00:04:56.42\00:05:03.10
MOSES BECAME ANGRY -
EXODUS 32:19 - HE CAME DOWN THE
00:05:03.13\00:05:06.33
MOUNTAIN AFTER GETTING THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS AND, OF COURSE,
00:05:06.37\00:05:09.94
THERE, AGAIN,
YOU'VE GOT THE LAW.
00:05:09.97\00:05:11.31
THE DEVIL WAS MAD AT THAT
SO HE TEMPTED EVERYBODY TO SIN.
00:05:11.34\00:05:13.94
"...HE SAW THE CALF AND THE
DANCING. SO MOSES' ANGER BECAME
00:05:13.98\00:05:18.28
HOT," - WAS THAT
THE RIGHT KIND OF ANGER?
00:05:18.31\00:05:22.72
HE WAS JUST SO OUTRAGED
THAT AFTER THEY JUST MADE THIS
00:05:22.75\00:05:26.59
COVENANT WITH GOD, MOSES HAS THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS STILL RADIATING
00:05:26.62\00:05:29.89
IN HIS HANDS WITH THE WRITING OF
THE HAND OF GOD AND HE GOES TO
00:05:29.92\00:05:33.09
THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE
BREAKING ALL TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:05:33.13\00:05:36.13
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A TIME
FOR RIGHTEOUS JUSTIFIED ANGER.
00:05:36.16\00:05:40.70
THE EARLY CHURCH FATHER JOHN
CHRYSOSTOM SAID, 'HE WHO IS NOT
00:05:40.74\00:05:44.94
ANGRY WHEN HE HAS CAUSE TO BE
SINS. FOR UNREASONABLE PATIENCE
00:05:44.97\00:05:51.85
IS THE HOTBED OF MANY VICES.'
IN OTHER WORDS, NOT BEING ANGRY
00:05:51.88\00:05:56.25
WHEN YOU SHOULD BE ANGRY CAN
BE A SIN BECAUSE IT CAN BE AN
00:05:56.28\00:06:00.29
INDIFFERENCE - IT CAN BE A
LUKEWARMNESS THAT YOU'RE NOT
00:06:00.32\00:06:03.49
OUTRAGED BY SOMETHING
THAT SHOULD BE A PROBLEM.
00:06:03.53\00:06:08.73
MARK 11:15, "SO
THEY CAME TO JERUSALEM.
00:06:08.76\00:06:12.50
THEN JESUS WENT INTO THE TEMPLE
AND BEGAN TO DRIVE OUT THOSE WHO
00:06:12.53\00:06:16.04
BOUGHT AND SOLD IN THE TEMPLE,
AND OVERTURNED THE TABLES OF THE
00:06:16.07\00:06:19.37
MONEY CHANGERS AND THE
SEATS OF THOSE WHO SOLD DOVES."
00:06:19.41\00:06:22.74
AND HE WOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO
CARRY WARES THROUGH THE TEMPLE
00:06:22.78\00:06:25.98
AND HE SAID, 'YOU'VE MADE
MY FATHER'S HOUSE A DEN OF
00:06:26.01\00:06:28.05
THIEVES.' NOW I DON'T KNOW IF
ANYONE WENT AS FAR AS NEHEMIAH
00:06:28.08\00:06:32.49
IN THE BIBLE, WITH THE CHURCH
AND, HOPEFULLY, THE PASTORS WILL
00:06:32.52\00:06:35.66
NOT EVER HAVE TO RESORT TO THIS,
BUT NEHEMIAH SAYS, "I CONTENDED
00:06:35.69\00:06:39.39
WITH THEM AND CURSED THEM AND
STRUCK SOME OF THEM AND PULLED
00:06:39.43\00:06:43.26
OUT THEIR HAIR AND MADE THEM
SWEAR BY GOD SAYING, 'YOU WILL
00:06:43.30\00:06:47.90
NOT GIVE YOUR DAUGHTERS AS WIVES
TO THE SONS OF THE PAGANS, NOR
00:06:47.94\00:06:51.77
TAKE THEIR DAUGHTERS TO YOUR
SONS' NEHEMIAH SAID, 'THIS IS
00:06:51.81\00:06:55.18
HOW WE GOT CARRIED OFF TO
BABYLON IN THE FIRST PLACE AND
00:06:55.21\00:06:58.15
YOU'RE STARTING TO DO IT AGAIN.'
AND HE FLEW OFF THE HANDLE.
00:06:58.18\00:07:01.92
JOHN WESLEY, HE SAID, 'HE THAT
WOULD BE ANGRY AND SIN NOT MUST
00:07:01.95\00:07:07.46
NOT BE ANGRY WITH ANYTHING BUT
SIN.' SO THE RIGHTEOUS ANGER IS
00:07:07.49\00:07:13.73
THE ANGER AGAINST A SIN OF SOME
FORM. MARTIN LUTHER BECAME ANGRY
00:07:13.76\00:07:19.37
AT THE CHURCH'S ABUSE OF POWER.
HE SAID, 'WHEN I'M ANGRY, I CAN
00:07:19.40\00:07:22.87
WRITE, I CAN PRAY, I CAN
PREACH WELL. FOR THEN MY WHOLE
00:07:22.90\00:07:26.11
TEMPERAMENT IS QUICKENED, MY
UNDERSTANDING IS SHARPENED AND
00:07:26.14\00:07:29.14
THE MUNDANE VEXATIONS
AND TEMPERAMENTS DEPART.'
00:07:29.18\00:07:32.68
WHEN HE SAW THE OUTRAGEOUS
THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING IN
00:07:32.71\00:07:34.68
THE CHURCH, HE WAS ANIMATED
BY THIS RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.
00:07:34.72\00:07:38.42
AND, IF YOU'VE EVER READ ANY OF
LUTHER'S WRITINGS, YOU COULD SEE
00:07:38.45\00:07:40.89
THAT HE DID HAVE A PRETTY
ANIMATED NATURE, TO PUT IT
00:07:40.92\00:07:45.76
MILDLY.
ARISTOTLE PUT IT THIS WAY:
00:07:45.79\00:07:49.03
'ANYBODY CAN
BECOME ANGRY, THAT'S EASY.
00:07:49.06\00:07:51.20
BUT TO BE ANGRY WITH THE RIGHT
PERSON TO THE RIGHT DEGREE AT
00:07:51.23\00:07:54.64
THE RIGHT TIME FOR THE RIGHT
PURPOSE IN THE RIGHT WAY, THAT
00:07:54.67\00:07:57.84
IS NOT WITHIN EVERYBODY'S POWER
AND IT IS NOT EASY.' AND A LOT
00:07:57.87\00:08:02.68
OF TIMES WE THINK THAT OUR
ANGER IS THE RIGHTEOUS ANGER
00:08:02.71\00:08:06.61
AND IT IS NOT.
00:08:06.65\00:08:08.82
DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS, IN
00:08:08.85\00:08:10.19
JUST A MOMENT WE'LL
RETURN WITH THE REST OF
00:08:10.22\00:08:12.69
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:08:12.72\00:08:14.32
THE MARK OF THE
BEAST IS PROBABLY
00:08:14.36\00:08:16.69
THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL
AND FEARED SUBJECTS FROM
00:08:16.73\00:08:19.53
THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:08:19.56\00:08:20.90
SOME SAY IT'S A NUMBER
TATTOOED ON OUR FOREHEADS.
00:08:20.93\00:08:23.97
OR A COMPUTER CHIP
EMBEDDED IN OUR HANDS.
00:08:24.00\00:08:27.07
OTHERS SUGGEST THE NUMBER
IS BEING SECRETLY INTRODUCED
00:08:27.10\00:08:30.24
IN THE WORLD NOW,
THROUGH A SUPER ID CREDIT CARD.
00:08:30.27\00:08:34.04
BUT IF YOU'RE CONFUSED OR EVEN
A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT THIS
00:08:34.08\00:08:37.11
OMINOUS ISSUE, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO BE ANYMORE.
00:08:37.15\00:08:40.72
A SIMPLE, PRACTICAL BIBLE STUDY

00:08:40.75\00:08:44.02
MAKE PERFECT SENSE.

IT'S CALLED, "THE
MARK OF THE BEAST."
00:08:53.06\00:08:55.20
IT'S A COMPREHENSIVE YET EASY TO
UNDERSTAND STUDY THAT WILL NOT
00:08:55.23\00:08:58.83
ONLY HELP YOU AVOID
THE DEVIL'S SCHEMES,
00:08:58.87\00:09:00.64

LET'S GET BACK TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:09:19.39\00:09:21.69
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:09:21.72\00:09:24.89
WHAT CAUSES ANGER?
WELL, SOMETIMES, JEALOUSY.
00:09:26.06\00:09:32.07
SOMETIMES WE GET ANGRY
WHEN WE ARE BEING CHALLENGED.
00:09:32.10\00:09:35.00
PETER DENIED CHRIST AND, AFTER
SOMEONE ASKED HIM THE THIRD
00:09:35.04\00:09:38.51
TIME, AND HE KNEW HE WAS WRONG,
HE BEGAN TO SWEAR AND TO CURSE.
00:09:38.54\00:09:46.78
SOMEONE FEELS LIKE THEY'RE
UNAPPRECIATED THEY CAN BECOME
00:09:46.82\00:09:50.65
ANGRY. THAT'S OFTEN - SEVERAL OF
THESE REASONS I'M GIVING YOU ALL
00:09:50.69\00:09:54.29
KIND OF POINT BACK TO
SELFISHNESS AND PRIDE - WHEN OUR
00:09:54.32\00:09:57.16
PRIDE'S OFFENDED WE OFTEN
GET ANGRY - NEGLECT - POTIPHAR'S
00:09:57.19\00:10:02.03
WIFE BECAME ANGRY WHEN JOSEPH
WOULD NOT ACCEPT HER ADVANCES,
00:10:02.06\00:10:06.13
AND SHE WAS WILLING TO SEND HIM
TO JAIL. THEN THERE'S THOSE WHO
00:10:06.17\00:10:10.97
THE ANGER DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL AT
ONCE BUT IT COMES AS A RESULT OF
00:10:11.01\00:10:14.11
STORING THINGS. THEY JUST -
THEY'VE GOT THIS MINI STORAGE
00:10:14.14\00:10:19.38
AND SOME LITTLE
OFFENSE, IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
00:10:19.41\00:10:21.95
THEY JUST LET IT GO, BUT THEY
REMEMBER IT AND THEY FILE IT AND
00:10:21.98\00:10:26.79
THEN SOMETHING ELSE
HAPPENS AND THEY FILE IT.
00:10:26.82\00:10:28.29
AND YOU'D NEVER KNOW, BUT
FINALLY THEY - IT'S LIKE YOU GET
00:10:28.32\00:10:31.73
FREQUENT FLIER MILES AND THEN
THEY SEND YOU ON A FREE TRIP
00:10:31.76\00:10:36.60
AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME.
YOU EVER MEET ANYONE LIKE THAT?
00:10:36.63\00:10:40.94
AND SOME PEOPLE, THINGS
HAPPEN AND YOU THINK, 'OH, THEY
00:10:40.97\00:10:42.94
SWALLOWED IT. IT'S
OKAY' BUT, NO, THEY DIDN'T.
00:10:42.97\00:10:45.91
AND THEY'LL
PROCESS IT WITH YOU LATER.
00:10:45.94\00:10:48.94
BUT PRIDE IS A BIG PROBLEM.
1 TIMOTHY 6:4, "HE IS PROUD
00:10:48.98\00:10:53.05
KNOWING NOTHING, BUT IS OBSESSED
WITH DISPUTES AND ARGUMENTS OVER
00:10:53.08\00:10:57.49
WORDS, FROM WHICH COME
ENVY, STRIFE, REVILING, EVIL
00:10:57.52\00:11:01.06
SUSPICIONS," - NOW
WHAT'S THE FALLOUT OF ANGER?
00:11:01.09\00:11:07.83
ANGER DESTROYS COMMUNICATION,
IT GENERATES FEAR, IT SCARS
00:11:07.86\00:11:11.40
RELATIONSHIPS AND, IF THE TRUTH
BE TOLD, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
00:11:11.43\00:11:14.64
THAT ARE LIVING WITH ANGER
THAT IS BURIED IN THEIR LIVES.
00:11:14.67\00:11:21.41
A LOT OF MARRIAGES HAVE
UNRESOLVED ANGER, AND SO,
00:11:21.44\00:11:26.41
BECAUSE THERE'S NO FORGIVENESS
BECAUSE OF SLIGHTS OR GRIEVANCES
00:11:26.45\00:11:29.75
OR PROBLEMS - AND THEY MIGHT BE
JUSTIFIED - AT ONE TIME IT MIGHT
00:11:29.78\00:11:33.32
HAVE BEEN A RIGHTEOUS
INDIGNATION - BUT YOU'VE NEVER
00:11:33.36\00:11:36.39
LET IT GO; YOU'VE NEVER
FORGIVEN, AND SO YOU CLING TO
00:11:36.42\00:11:38.63
THE ANGER. I'VE MET
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
00:11:38.66\00:11:40.36
ANGRY FOR YEARS
WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAD.
00:11:40.40\00:11:43.53
AND YOU THINK, 'BOY, THAT'S
REALLY SAD.' IT'S LIKE, IF I LET
00:11:43.57\00:11:47.44
GO OF THE ANGER - SOMEONE'S
GOT TO STAY ANGRY AT THEM.
00:11:47.47\00:11:52.07
THEY'RE DEAD.
THEY'RE IN THE GRAVE.
00:11:52.11\00:11:53.44
THEY DON'T KNOW IT. BUT THEY'RE
DESTROYING THEMSELVES WITH THEIR
00:11:53.48\00:11:57.75
ANGER. I READ ABOUT
HOW COSTLY ANGER IS.
00:11:57.78\00:12:03.95
THERE'S A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE
THAT MADE THE MISTAKE OF HITTING
00:12:03.99\00:12:06.99
HIS COACH AND HE LOST A
32 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT.
00:12:07.02\00:12:12.73
ANGER'S EXPENSIVE. SOME
OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN MIKE
00:12:12.76\00:12:14.93
TYSON GOT ANGRY DURING A BOXING
MATCH AND SO, INSTEAD OF JUST
00:12:14.96\00:12:19.33
BOXING WITH EVANDER HOLYFIELD,
HE BIT OFF A PIECE OF HIS EAR.
00:12:19.37\00:12:24.27
WELL, YOU REALIZE HE
LOST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
00:12:24.31\00:12:26.68
I HOPE IT TASTED GOOD BECAUSE
THAT WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE MEAL
00:12:26.71\00:12:31.05
HE'D EVER BOUGHT -
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THAT.
00:12:31.08\00:12:36.42
AND, AGAIN, THAT FLIGHT I
JUST MENTIONED TO YOU OVER THE
00:12:36.45\00:12:38.82
[PACIFIC] -
$12,000.00 FOR A BLANKET.
00:12:38.85\00:12:43.02
YOU KNOW, IF I WAS ON THAT
PLANE, I WOULD HAVE SAID, 'LOOK,
00:12:43.06\00:12:44.36
I'LL PAY FOR YOUR
BLANKET. LET'S JUST KEEP GOING.
00:12:44.39\00:12:46.46
LET'S TAKE UP A COLLECTION.
HOW MANY WILL GIVE 5O
00:12:46.49\00:12:48.13
CENTS FOR THAT BLANKET?
(LAUGHTER) AND LET'S JUST GET TO
00:12:48.16\00:12:51.30
[HAWAII].' - AND TRY AND
CALM THE GUY DOWN, YOU KNOW. YOU
00:12:51.33\00:12:56.00
KNOW, MOSES LOST THE PROMISED
LAND BECAUSE HE LOST HIS TEMPER?
00:12:56.04\00:13:01.28
AND, I SUPPOSE, IF I HAD BEEN
LEADING THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
00:13:01.31\00:13:04.31
I PROBABLY WOULD
HAVE LOST IT A LOT SOONER.
00:13:04.35\00:13:07.12
BUT MOSES HAD A TEMPER AND - YOU
REMEMBER, HE KILLED AN EGYPTIAN
00:13:07.15\00:13:11.22
- BURIED HIM IN THE SAND AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE FORTY YEARS.
00:13:11.25\00:13:15.76
AND THEN, AFTER - ACTUALLY,
HE DID THAT WHEN HE WAS 40 YEARS
00:13:15.79\00:13:19.43
OLD - 80 YEARS LATER
HE LOSES HIS TEMPER AGAIN.
00:13:19.46\00:13:22.26
SO YOU MAY BE THINKING, I'VE GOT
IT UNDER CONTROL FOR A WHILE AND
00:13:22.30\00:13:24.67
THEN YOU'VE GOT TO
WALK WITH THE LORD.
00:13:24.70\00:13:27.97
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, YOU
KNOW, I LOSE MY TEMPER BECAUSE
00:13:28.00\00:13:31.34
I'M SPANISH' - 'I'M ITALIAN' -
'I'M IRISH - I'VE GOT RED HAIR'
00:13:31.37\00:13:37.01
- 'I'M ENGLISH' - 'I'M GERMAN' -
YOU NAME IT, PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, I
00:13:37.05\00:13:41.15
CAN'T HELP IT BECAUSE I'M
HUMAN.' YOU EVER HEARD THAT?
00:13:41.18\00:13:45.62
'GOT IT FROM MY MOTHER.' 'GOT
IT FROM MY FATHER.' 'IT'S IN THE
00:13:45.65\00:13:49.49
WATER.' WE'VE ALL GOT EXCUSES
FOR WHY WE LOSE OUR TEMPERS.
00:13:49.52\00:13:54.30
THERE IS NO GOOD EXCUSE BECAUSE
WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR TEMPER AND
00:13:54.36\00:13:58.47
WHEN YOU HAVE A TANTRUM, YOU
ARE, AS I SAID, BASICALLY GIVING
00:13:58.50\00:14:03.14
YOURSELF OVER TO THE DEVIL.
YOU'RE CREATING A WINDOW TO DO
00:14:03.17\00:14:07.31
THINGS YOU'LL LATER
REGRET. A BAD TEMPER IS A VERY
00:14:07.34\00:14:11.81
EXPENSIVE COMMODITY.
MOSES WAS NOT ALLOWED TO LEAD
00:14:11.85\00:14:16.18
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL INTO THE
PROMISED LAND BECAUSE HE LOST
00:14:16.22\00:14:20.16
HIS TEMPER AND SAID, "HEAR NOW,
YOU REBELS! MUST WE BRING WATER
00:14:20.19\00:14:24.63
FOR YOU OUT OF THIS ROCK?"
AND THEN HE SMOTE THE ROCK - HE
00:14:24.66\00:14:27.13
BEGAN TO BEAT THE ROCK WITH HIS
STAFF. GOD SAID, 'YOU DID NOT
00:14:27.20\00:14:30.40
HONOR ME BEFORE THE
PEOPLE. I CANNOT USE YOU.'
00:14:30.43\00:14:34.04
HE WAS TO BE A TYPE OF CHRIST.
PROVERBS 25:28, "WHOEVER HAS NO
00:14:34.07\00:14:39.51
RULE OVER HIS OWN SPIRIT IS
LIKE A CITY BROKEN DOWN, WITHOUT
00:14:39.54\00:14:42.28
WALLS." MEANING THE
DEVIL HAS ACCESS TO YOUR LIFE.
00:14:42.31\00:14:46.01
WE NEED WALLS.
YOU NEED SELF CONTROL.
00:14:46.05\00:14:48.32
ECCLESIASTES 7:9, "DO NOT HASTEN
IN YOUR SPIRIT TO BE ANGRY, FOR
00:14:48.35\00:14:54.39
ANGER RESTS IN
THE BOSOM OF FOOLS."
00:14:54.42\00:14:57.86
AND NOTICE HOW SOLOMON SAID
THAT - 'DO NOT HASTEN IN YOUR
00:14:57.89\00:15:00.66
SPIRIT.' HE DOESN'T
SAY YOU SHOULD NEVER
00:15:00.70\00:15:01.96
BE ANGRY, BUT DO NOT HASTEN TO
BE ANGRY - BECAUSE ANGER RESTS -
00:15:02.00\00:15:05.80
THAT MEANS IT STAYS - IN
THE BOSOM OF FOOLS. SOMEONE SAID
00:15:05.83\00:15:11.61
ANGER WILL LESSEN YOUR PERCEIVED
IQ. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT
00:15:11.64\00:15:16.01
THE EMPTIER A POT
IS, THE QUICKER IT BOILS?
00:15:16.04\00:15:19.88
- THE MORE SHALLOW THE WATER IN
THE POT, THE QUICKER IT BOILS.
00:15:19.91\00:15:23.82
IF A PERSON HAS A LITTLE DEPTH,
THEY'RE USUALLY MORE CONTROLLED.
00:15:23.85\00:15:28.99
THOMAS KEMPIS SAID, 'WHEN ANGER
ENTERS THE MIND, WISDOM DEPARTS.
00:15:29.02\00:15:34.40
SOMEONE ELSE SAID, 'AN ANGRY
MAN IS SELDOM REASONABLE AND A
00:15:34.46\00:15:37.77
REASONABLE MAN IS SELDOM ANGRY.'
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL, PEOPLE
00:15:37.80\00:15:42.44
OUT THERE ALWAYS GIVING EVERYONE
ELSE A PIECE OF THEIR MIND - YOU
00:15:42.47\00:15:44.71
KEEP GIVING AWAY ENOUGH PIECES
OF YOUR MIND, YOU HAVE NOTHING
00:15:44.74\00:15:46.54
LEFT. ANGER WILL AFFECT YOUR
IQ. RALPH WALDO EMERSON SAID,
00:15:46.57\00:15:53.42
'WE ALL BOIL, JUST AT DIFFERENT
DEGREES.' SO YOU WANT TO BE
00:15:53.45\00:15:56.12
SLOW. ANGER IS BAD FOR YOUR
HEALTH. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE VERY
00:15:56.15\00:16:01.59
CONSCIOUS ABOUT THE
HEALTH MESSAGE AND THEY WONDER
00:16:01.62\00:16:03.69
WHY THEY'RE NOT HEALTHY.
IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU'RE
00:16:03.73\00:16:06.23
EATING, IT'S BECAUSE
OF WHAT'S EATING YOU.
00:16:06.26\00:16:09.70
AND, IF WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO
BE EATEN UP WITH ANGER, YOU CAN
00:16:09.73\00:16:14.64
FOLLOW THE HEALTH MESSAGE,
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SICK.
00:16:14.67\00:16:17.57
ANGRY, CYNICAL PEOPLE DIE YOUNG.
THIS WAS A STUDY THAT WAS DONE
00:16:17.61\00:16:20.48
BACK IN 1989, BUT I
THINK IT'S STILL RELEVANT.
00:16:20.51\00:16:23.35
THEY TESTED A VARIETY OF MEN
AND THOSE WHO SCORED HIGH FOR
00:16:23.38\00:16:27.02
HOSTILITY ON THE STANDARD TESTS
ENDED UP BECOMING FOUR TIMES
00:16:27.05\00:16:31.29
MORE LIKELY TO DIE PREMATURELY
THAN MEN WHOSE SCORES WERE LOW.
00:16:31.32\00:16:36.26
THEY ALSO TOOK ANOTHER 27 MEN
IN CORAL GABLES AND THEY STUDIED
00:16:36.29\00:16:39.69
THEIR HEART/BLOOD DISTRIBUTION
AND THEY ASKED THEM A BUNCH OF
00:16:39.73\00:16:42.96
QUESTIONS AND THEY DID PHYSICAL
TESTS AND MENTAL TESTS AND THEY
00:16:43.00\00:16:46.30
FINALLY SAID, 'THINK ABOUT
SOMETHING THAT MADE YOU REALLY
00:16:46.33\00:16:48.17
ANGRY THAT HAPPENED.' THEY
MEASURED THE HEART WITH ALL
00:16:48.20\00:16:50.84
THESE VERY SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS
AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE ONE
00:16:50.87\00:16:56.01
THING THAT AFFECTED THE
DISTRIBUTION OF BLOOD FROM THE
00:16:56.04\00:16:58.68
HEART TO THE TISSUE THE MOST WAS
WHEN THEY WERE THINKING ANGRY
00:16:58.71\00:17:02.75
THOUGHTS. IT
RELEASED CHEMICALS IN THEIR
00:17:02.78\00:17:05.32
BODY THAT RESTRICTED THE
BLOOD VESSELS AND AFFECTED
00:17:05.35\00:17:08.62
THE FLOW OF THE BLOOD.
THAT AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH.
00:17:08.66\00:17:13.66
LIVING IN
SUSTAINED ANGER IS NOT GOOD.
00:17:13.70\00:17:18.13
EPHESIANS 4:26, "...DO NOT LET
THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR WRATH."
00:17:18.17\00:17:22.50
NOW THIS VERSE HAS
SOMETIMES BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD.
00:17:22.54\00:17:25.91
SOMEONE WAS INTERVIEWING AN
OLD TEXAN WHO'D BEEN MARRIED FOR
00:17:25.94\00:17:29.24
SIXTY YEARS AND THEY SAID, 'TO
WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE YOUR LONG
00:17:29.28\00:17:33.28
AND HAPPY MARRIAGE?' HE
SAID, 'WELL, WE DETERMINED
00:17:33.31\00:17:35.35
EARLY ON NEVER TO LET
THE SUN GO DOWN ON OUR WRATH.
00:17:35.38\00:17:40.02
WE WOULDN'T GO TO SLEEP UNTIL WE
RESOLVED OUR DIFFERENCES.' AND
00:17:40.06\00:17:43.66
HE SAID, 'I HAVE TO TELL
YOU, THERE WERE WEEKS WE DIDN'T
00:17:43.69\00:17:45.29
SLEEP.' (LAUGHTER) SO IT
IS A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP SHORT
00:17:45.33\00:17:49.96
ACCOUNTS. BUT, YOU
KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU'LL
00:17:50.00\00:17:53.10
FIND, IF YOU DO GO TO
SLEEP, EVEN IF YOU ARE ANGRY, IT
00:17:53.13\00:17:56.24
GOES AWAY IN THE
MORNING. WHAT YOU NEEDED WAS
00:17:56.27\00:17:58.04
A NIGHT'S SLEEP.
SO, A LOT OF TIMES, WHEN
00:17:58.07\00:18:02.38
THERE'S DISPUTES IN FAMILIES OR
MARRIAGES, OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT
00:18:02.41\00:18:05.51
BE, REST ON IT AND
THINGS SORT THEMSELVES OUT.
00:18:05.55\00:18:11.92
SOMETIMES IN THE MORNING YOU GET
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND YOU
00:18:11.95\00:18:14.16
REALIZE IT'S
NOT THAT BIG A DEAL.
00:18:14.19\00:18:17.09
DON'T EVER DISCIPLINE
YOUR CHILDREN IN ANGER.
00:18:17.13\00:18:20.16
DON'T EVER LOSE YOUR TEMPER
IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN.
00:18:20.20\00:18:23.93
THREE RULES FOR RAISING CHILDREN
IS EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE.
00:18:23.97\00:18:29.50
THERE WAS AN AUTHOR FOR NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC, HE WAS WRITING AN
00:18:29.54\00:18:32.01
ARTICLE ABOUT THE AMISH PEOPLE.
AND, ONE DAY, AS HE WAS VISITING
00:18:32.04\00:18:36.01
THE AMISH SCHOOL, THE THING THAT
STRUCK HIM WAS THAT NONE OF THE
00:18:36.04\00:18:41.52
CHILDREN IN THE PLAYGROUND EVER
RAISED THEIR VOICES AND YELLED.
00:18:41.55\00:18:45.25
THEY ALL PLAYED IN A
VERY KIND, COOPERATIVE WAY.
00:18:45.29\00:18:49.42
AND HE WENT TO THE SCHOOLMASTER
AND HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, I DON'T
00:18:49.46\00:18:50.99
KNOW IF I'VE EVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE THIS.' HE SAID, 'I DON'T
00:18:51.03\00:18:53.70
EVER SEE ANY OF THE AMISH
CHILDREN YELL AT EACH OTHER.'
00:18:53.73\00:18:57.87
AND THE SCHOOLMASTER SAID, 'HAVE
YOU EVER HEARD AMISH ADULTS
00:18:57.90\00:19:01.20
YELLING AT EACH OTHER?'
HE SAID, 'NO, I HAVEN'T.' HE
00:19:01.24\00:19:05.24
SAYS, 'THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T
HEAR AMISH CHILDREN YELLING
00:19:05.27\00:19:07.31
AT EACH OTHER.' WOW.
00:19:07.34\00:19:09.78
WHEN YOU SEE KIDS GOING
BALLISTIC IN PUBLIC, YOU WONDER
00:19:09.81\00:19:13.82
WHAT ARE THEY SEEING AT
HOME? NOT ALWAYS, BUT IT
00:19:13.85\00:19:19.22
MAKES YOU WONDER.
NEVER DISCIPLINE YOUR
00:19:19.25\00:19:21.99
CHILDREN IN ANGER.
JEREMIAH 10:24, "O LORD," - THE
00:19:22.02\00:19:26.19
PROPHET PRAYED - "CORRECT ME,
BUT WITH JUSTICE; NOT IN YOUR
00:19:26.23\00:19:30.80
ANGER, LEST YOU
BRING ME TO NOTHING."
00:19:30.83\00:19:33.00
WHAT IF GOD
DISCIPLINED US IN ANGER?
00:19:33.03\00:19:35.17
WELL, HE WILL,
SOMEDAY, FOR THE LOST.
00:19:35.20\00:19:37.51
AND WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER THE WRATH OF THE LAMB?
00:19:37.54\00:19:39.97
THEY DON'T SURVIVE.
SO, IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR
00:19:40.01\00:19:42.91
HEAVENLY FATHER TO DISCIPLINE
YOU IN ANGER, YOU DON'T WANT
00:19:42.94\00:19:45.21
TO DISCIPLINE OTHERS IN
ANGER. SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
00:19:45.25\00:19:48.35
WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR
OVERCOMING INAPPROPRIATE ANGER?
00:19:48.38\00:19:51.22
BECAUSE I'VE TOLD YOU THERE'S
A RIGHT TIME TO BE ANGRY.
00:19:51.25\00:19:54.26
ALRIGHT, PATIENCE - ONE
OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS.
00:19:54.29\00:19:58.86
IT SAYS IT OVER AND OVER IN
THE BIBLE - PROVERBS 15:18, "A
00:19:58.89\00:20:02.13
WRATHFUL MAN STIRS UP STRIFE,
BUT HE WHO IS SLOW TO ANGER
00:20:02.16\00:20:08.34
ALLAYS CONTENTION." YOU
NOTICE HE SAYS 'SLOW TO ANGER'.
00:20:08.37\00:20:12.14
IT DOESN'T SAY
YOU NEVER HAVE ANGER.
00:20:12.17\00:20:15.04
AGAIN, PROVERBS 16:32, "HE WHO
IS SLOW TO ANGER IS BETTER THAN
00:20:15.08\00:20:19.21
THE MIGHTY, AND HE WHO RULES
HIS SPIRIT THAN HE WHO TAKES A
00:20:19.25\00:20:22.98
CITY." SO YOU
PRAY FOR THE SPIRIT OF
00:20:23.02\00:20:24.75
GOD TO GIVE YOU
PATIENCE AND SELF-RULE.
00:20:24.79\00:20:28.16
DO YOU KNOW THE PHRASE 'SLOW TO
ANGER' IS MENTIONED NINE TIMES
00:20:28.19\00:20:30.63
IN THE BIBLE? IT
DOESN'T SAY DON'T BE ANGRY,
00:20:30.66\00:20:32.93
IT SAYS 'SLOW TO ANGER'.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
00:20:32.96\00:20:36.26
YOU'VE GOT THE
REAL REASON TO BE ANGRY.
00:20:36.30\00:20:38.53
AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN HAD AN
INTERESTING HABIT: ONE TIME HIS
00:20:38.57\00:20:44.01
SECRETARY, STANTON, CAME TO
HIM AND HE WAS JUST OUTRAGED BY
00:20:44.04\00:20:47.18
SOMETHING SOMEONE ELSE IN THE
GOVERNMENT HAD DONE AND LINCOLN
00:20:47.21\00:20:50.08
SAID, 'I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO WRITE A LETTER AND TELL HIM
00:20:50.11\00:20:52.51
EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL.' SO
STANTON SPENT A DAY AND A HALF
00:20:52.55\00:20:55.32
WRITING THIS LETTER. HE
BROUGHT IT TO LINCOLN AND
00:20:55.35\00:20:57.12
SAID, 'SO, SHOULD I MAIL IT
NOW?' HE SAID, 'NO, DON'T MAIL
00:20:57.15\00:20:59.55
IT.' HE SAID, 'THROW IT AWAY
NOW.' HE SAID, 'YOU PROBABLY
00:20:59.59\00:21:02.12
ALREADY FEEL MUCH BETTER.'
HE SAYS, 'NOW WRITE ONE THAT'S
00:21:02.16\00:21:04.99
DISCREET AND DIPLOMATIC.'
HAVE YOU EVER DONE THAT?
00:21:05.03\00:21:09.63
SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING
OR MISTREATS YOU OR THEY DO
00:21:09.66\00:21:12.93
SOMETHING INCONSIDERATE AND YOU
TYPE OUT AN E-MAIL AND THERE'S
00:21:12.97\00:21:17.41
JUST SMOKE COMING
OFF THE KEYS, YOU KNOW?
00:21:17.44\00:21:20.18
AND YOU HAVE ALL THE RIGHT
WORDS AND YOU LOOK AT IT AND THE
00:21:20.21\00:21:27.28
LONGER YOU LOOK AT IT YOU THINK,
'WELL, MAYBE I OUGHT TO CHANGE
00:21:27.32\00:21:29.88
THAT WORD.' WELL, I DON'T NEED
THAT LINE IN THERE, I'LL DELETE
00:21:29.92\00:21:34.12
THAT ONE AND' - DON'T EVER SEND
AN E-MAIL WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY,
00:21:34.16\00:21:38.16
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T UNDELETE - YOU
CAN'T UNSEND, YOU KNOW WHAT I
00:21:38.19\00:21:41.26
MEAN? AND YOU SEND
SOMETHING WHEN YOUR
00:21:41.30\00:21:45.77
BLOOD'S BOILING AND LATER YOU
SAY, 'OH, I OVERREACTED AND NOW
00:21:45.80\00:21:51.37
THAT PERSON WILL
NEVER BE A FRIEND AGAIN.
00:21:51.41\00:21:53.78
ALL I NEEDED TO DO WAS THINK
ABOUT IT A LITTLE MORE.' WRITE
00:21:53.81\00:21:56.21
THE LETTER, BUT
USE A PENCIL AND PAPER.
00:21:56.24\00:21:59.21
DON'T DO IT ON YOUR KEYBOARD,
YOU MIGHT BUMP THE SEND BUTTON.
00:21:59.25\00:22:01.88
(LAUGHTER) JAMES 1:19, "...LET
EVERY MAN BE SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW
00:22:01.92\00:22:07.46
TO SPEAK, SLOW TO WRATH; FOR THE
WRATH OF MAN DOES NOT PRODUCE
00:22:07.49\00:22:12.13
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
GOD." PRAY WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY.
00:22:12.16\00:22:18.70
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY YOU
WILL FEEL LIKE PRAYING THE LEAST
00:22:18.73\00:22:23.81
BUT IT IS WHEN YOU
FEEL LIKE PRAYING THE MOST.
00:22:23.84\00:22:27.38
IT DOESN'T HELP IF THE PERSON
YOU'RE ANGRY AT - IF THEY'RE
00:22:27.41\00:22:30.98
ASKING YOU TO PRAY,
BUT YOU MAY NEED TO.
00:22:31.01\00:22:35.98
CLAIM THE PROMISES OF GOD.
00:22:36.02\00:22:37.52
THE BIBLE'S FULL OF EXCEEDING
GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES LIKE
00:22:37.55\00:22:40.49
GALATIANS 2:20, "I HAVE BEEN
CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST" - IT'S
00:22:40.52\00:22:44.19
HARD TO BE ANGRY WHEN YOU
REALIZE, 'HEY, JESUS DIED ON A
00:22:44.23\00:22:47.10
CROSS FOR THIS PERSON'S SINS.
HE DIED ON A CROSS FOR MY SIN.
00:22:47.13\00:22:50.40
WHAT RIGHT DO I HAVE
TO BE SO ANGRY AT THEM?'
00:22:50.43\00:22:53.57
YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT HELPS
ME NOT BE ANGRY WITH PEOPLE?
00:22:53.60\00:22:56.64
I HEAR ABOUT FOLKS WHO SAY
THEY'RE ANGRY AT GOD AND, IF YOU
00:22:56.67\00:23:01.68
TRUST THAT GOD IS GOOD, YOU CAN
USUALLY WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH
00:23:01.71\00:23:04.08
THAT. BUT WHEN YOU
GET ANGRY AT PEOPLE
00:23:04.11\00:23:06.72
- I THINK ABOUT THAT PARABLE
IN MATTHEW 18, OF THE UNMERCIFUL
00:23:06.75\00:23:10.62
DEBTOR WHO IS FORGIVEN TEN
THOUSAND TALENTS AND GOD HAS
00:23:10.65\00:23:17.69
FORGIVEN US SO MUCH THAT WHAT
RIGHT DO I HAVE FOR THE LITTLE
00:23:17.73\00:23:20.93
OFFENSES THAT WE
HAVE WITH EACH OTHER?
00:23:20.96\00:23:23.47
THE OTHER THING THAT HELPS ME IS
I REMEMBER THAT THE LORD LOVES
00:23:23.50\00:23:27.20
EVERYBODY AND SINNERS ARE GOING
TO DO DIABOLICAL THINGS BECAUSE
00:23:27.24\00:23:31.21
THEY'RE BEING
TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL.
00:23:31.24\00:23:32.64
SO, IF PEOPLE DO DEVILISH
THINGS, THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED IF
00:23:32.67\00:23:36.31
THEY'RE LOST. YOU'VE GOT
TO LOVE EVEN THOSE PEOPLE.
00:23:36.34\00:23:38.88
JESUS SAID 'LOVE
YOUR ENEMIES' - RIGHT?
00:23:38.91\00:23:41.42
HE DIDN'T SAY 'BE ANGRY AT
THEM.' 'GIVE THEM A PIECE OF
00:23:41.45\00:23:44.62
YOUR MIND.' "A SOFT ANSWER TURNS
AWAY WRATH" - PROVERBS 15:1 -
00:23:44.65\00:23:52.76
THERE'S AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE
OF THIS IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES,
00:23:52.79\00:23:55.26
CHAPTER 8. GIDEON,
WHEN HE WAS FIGHTING
00:23:55.30\00:23:57.67
AGAINST THE MIDIANITES, HE DID
NOT CALL THE TRIBE OF EPHRAIM TO
00:23:57.70\00:24:01.64
GO WITH HIM TO BATTLE AND THEY
FELT LEFT OUT OF THE VICTORY.
00:24:01.67\00:24:04.34
THEY, ON THEIR OWN, THEY WENT
OUT AND THEY FOUGHT AGAINST THE
00:24:04.37\00:24:06.81
PRINCES OF THE MIDIANITES AND
THEY WERE GOING TO, NOW, HAVE A
00:24:06.84\00:24:11.38
CIVIL WAR WITH GIDEON. AND
IT SAYS - I'M READING, NOW,
00:24:11.41\00:24:14.88
JUDGES 8:1, "NOW THE MEN
OF EPHRAIM ...REPRIMANDED HIM
00:24:14.92\00:24:19.32
SHARPLY. SO HE
SAID TO THEM, 'WHAT HAVE
00:24:19.35\00:24:22.59
I DONE NOW IN
COMPARISON WITH YOU?
00:24:22.62\00:24:24.73
IS NOT THE GLEANING OF THE
GRAPES OF EPHRAIM BETTER THAN
00:24:24.76\00:24:26.86
THE VINTAGE OF ABIEZER?
GOD HAS DELIVERED INTO YOUR
00:24:26.90\00:24:29.73
HANDS THE PRINCES OF
MIDIAN, OREB AND ZEEB.
00:24:29.76\00:24:32.73
AND WHAT WAS I ABLE TO
DO IN COMPARISON WITH YOU?'
00:24:32.77\00:24:35.04
THEN THEIR ANGER TOWARD HIM
SUBSIDED WHEN HE SAID THAT."
00:24:35.07\00:24:39.41
HE GAVE THEM A GENTLE DELICATE
SOFT ANSWER AND IT DEFUSED THE
00:24:39.44\00:24:45.41
WHOLE THING THAT COULD
HAVE TURNED INTO A CIVIL WAR.
00:24:45.45\00:24:48.82
GRIEVOUS WORDS STIR UP STRIFE.
IF YOU'RE IN AN ARGUMENT WITH
00:24:48.85\00:24:51.99
SOMEBODY AND, EVEN IN YOU'RE
RIGHT, YOU MIGHT NEED TO LOOK
00:24:52.02\00:24:55.22
YOUR EYES DOWN AND SAY,
'YOU KNOW, I'LL LISTEN TO THAT.
00:24:55.26\00:24:57.46
I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.'
AND JUST LET A PERSON VENT
00:24:57.49\00:25:00.96
SOMETIMES. DON'T
FEEL LIKE YOU'VE GOT TO
00:25:01.00\00:25:02.63
TELL THEM HOW WRONG THEY ARE.
A SOFT ANSWER - IN MARRIAGES -
00:25:02.66\00:25:10.24
A SOFT ANSWER TURNS AWAY
WRATH. PSALM 46:10, "BE STILL,
00:25:10.27\00:25:15.44
AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."
DO YOU REALIZE THAT THE REASON
00:25:15.48\00:25:19.68
THAT YOU AND I HAVE HOPE OF
SALVATION IS BECAUSE, AFTER THE
00:25:19.71\00:25:23.79
DEVIL DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO
GET JESUS TO REACT AT THE CROSS,
00:25:23.82\00:25:29.76
THROUGH HIS TRIAL - THROUGH HIS
TORTURE - THEY DID EVERYTHING
00:25:29.79\00:25:32.99
THEY COULD TO PROVOKE CHRIST.
YOU NAME SOMETHING THAT CAN BE
00:25:33.03\00:25:35.50
DONE TO MAKE A PERSON LOSE
IT AND JESUS NEVER LOST IT.
00:25:35.53\00:25:40.74
BECAUSE HE DID NOT LOSE HIS
TEMPER, WE CAN FIND SALVATION.
00:25:40.77\00:25:46.27
AND SO, HE SET AN EXAMPLE
FOR US. HE WAS THINKING ABOUT US
00:25:46.31\00:25:51.11
WHEN HE KEPT HIS COOL.
JESUS DIDN'T COME TO MAKE US
00:25:51.15\00:25:55.72
STRESS, HE CAME
TO GIVE US PEACE.
00:25:55.75\00:25:57.65
HE SAYS, 'PEACE I GIVE TO YOU,
NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES, GIVE I
00:25:57.69\00:26:00.12
UNTO YOU.' 'LET NOT YOUR HEART
BE TROUBLED.' 'BE ANXIOUS FOR
00:26:00.16\00:26:04.83
NOTHING.' 'FEAR NOT.' SO MANY
TIMES PEOPLE ARE ANGRY BECAUSE
00:26:04.86\00:26:08.83
THEY JUST - THEY
DON'T HAVE PEACE.
00:26:08.86\00:26:11.40
AND THE LORD IS GIVING YOU
A PEACE THAT THE WORLD DOESN'T
00:26:11.43\00:26:14.30
UNDERSTAND - A PEACE
THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING.
00:26:14.34\00:26:17.77
I WANT THAT PEACE, DON'T YOU?
