MALE ANNOUNCER: THIS
PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU
00:00:02.43\00:00:04.30
BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:04.33\00:00:07.64
い
00:00:07.67\00:00:14.64
DOUG BATCHELOR: GOD
GIVES YOU ENOUGH GRACE TO DEAL
00:00:14.68\00:00:16.31
WITH THE PROBLEMS OF TODAY.
00:00:16.34\00:00:18.98
THERE ARE PROBLEMS IN
LIFE. GOD USES TROUBLES TO
00:00:19.01\00:00:22.08
TEACH US AND TO TEST US.
00:00:22.12\00:00:24.45
DOUG: IT'S A
VERY COMMON TOPIC IN
00:00:28.86\00:00:32.66
THE BIBLE TO ADDRESS THE ANXIETY
AND CONCERN THAT PEOPLE HAVE.
00:00:32.69\00:00:39.27
JESUS, IN HIS SERMON ON
THE MOUNT, GOT RIGHT INTO IT.
00:00:39.30\00:00:43.24
HE SAID, IN CHAPTER 6 OF
MATTHEW, "THEREFORE DO NOT WORRY
00:00:43.27\00:00:48.08
ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW
WILL WORRY ABOUT ITS OWN
00:00:48.11\00:00:51.51
THINGS." HE
COMMANDS US NOT TO WORRY.
00:00:51.55\00:00:54.15
WORRY WEARS
AWAY THE LIFE FORCES.
00:00:54.18\00:00:58.45
WORRY ROBS US OF OUR JOY.
SOMEONE ONCE SAID, 'WORRY BRINGS
00:00:58.49\00:01:03.02
TOMORROW'S
DIFFICULTIES INTO TODAY.'
00:01:03.06\00:01:06.26
GOD DOESN'T GIVE YOU GRACE FOR
TOMORROW'S DIFFICULTIES, HE ONLY
00:01:06.36\00:01:08.63
GIVES YOU GRACE FOR TODAY.
WORRY DOES NOT TAKE THE SORROW
00:01:08.66\00:01:13.07
OUT OF TOMORROW, IT ONLY TAKES
TOMORROW'S SORROW AND BRINGS IT
00:01:13.10\00:01:17.24
TODAY AND THEN LESS PREPARES YOU
TO DEAL WITH TOMORROW'S SORROW.
00:01:17.27\00:01:21.41
AND SO, IT'S DEBILITATING.
YOU KNOW, I WAS READING IN THE
00:01:21.44\00:01:27.98
NEWS NOT LONG AGO - MANY OF
US HERE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
00:01:28.02\00:01:31.25
REMEMBER LAST YEAR THERE WAS A
TERRIBLE FIRE IN OAKLAND AND 36
00:01:31.29\00:01:36.96
PEOPLE PERISHED IN THAT FIRE
IN THE WAREHOUSE IN OAKLAND.
00:01:36.99\00:01:41.73
THE AUTHORITIES LATER DETERMINED
THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO WHAT
00:01:41.76\00:01:47.17
THEY CALLED AN
OVERLOADED CIRCUIT.
00:01:47.20\00:01:50.64
THEY HAD TOO MANY THINGS PLUGGED
INTO A BREAKER THAT WAS ONLY
00:01:50.67\00:01:54.64
DESIGNED TO HANDLE SO MANY
AMPS. AND, BECAUSE THEY DID
00:01:54.68\00:01:59.15
THIS, SOME WIRES HEATED UP,
THEY SHORTED OUT, THEY CAUGHT ON
00:01:59.18\00:02:02.05
FIRE, THE FIRE SPREAD.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE EXIT
00:02:02.08\00:02:05.92
DOWNSTAIRS; MOST PEOPLE
WERE TRAPPED UPSTAIRS AND DIED
00:02:05.95\00:02:08.89
FROM THE SMOKE INHALATION.
AND A LOT OF DEATH AND DAMAGE
00:02:08.92\00:02:12.76
WAS CAUSED BY AN
OVERLOADED CIRCUIT.
00:02:12.79\00:02:17.67
WHEN YOU SPEND ALL YOUR
TIME WORRYING ABOUT THINGS FOR
00:02:17.70\00:02:20.77
TOMORROW, AND THE WEEK AFTER,
AND THE MONTH AFTER THAT, AND
00:02:20.80\00:02:23.81
YOU JUST PILE ONE ON TOP OF THE
OTHER, YOU OVERLOAD YOUR TRUCK -
00:02:23.84\00:02:27.81
YOU BLOW OUT THE TIRES - YOU
OVERLOAD YOUR CIRCUITS AND IT
00:02:27.84\00:02:30.48
FRIES. AND GOD
DIDN'T DESIGN US THIS WAY.
00:02:30.51\00:02:34.42
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID, IN HIS
DISCOURSE ABOUT WORRY, HE SAID,
00:02:34.45\00:02:38.25
'SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY IS THE
EVIL THEREOF.' NOW, THAT'S KIND
00:02:38.29\00:02:41.92
OF THE OLD ENGLISH WAY OF
SAYING, 'GOD GIVES YOU ENOUGH
00:02:41.96\00:02:45.23
GRACE TO DEAL WITH
THE PROBLEMS OF TODAY.'
00:02:45.26\00:02:49.33
THERE ARE PROBLEMS IN LIFE. THE
BIBLE'S PRETTY CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
00:02:49.36\00:02:53.94
GOD USES TROUBLES TO
TEACH US AND TO TEST US.
00:02:53.97\00:02:58.21
YOU CAN READ IN THE BOOK OF JOB
CHAPTER 5, VERSE 7, "YET MAN IS
00:02:58.24\00:03:02.01
BORN TO TROUBLE, AS
THE SPARKS FLY UPWARD."
00:03:02.04\00:03:05.15
WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE PROBLEMS IN LIFE.
00:03:05.18\00:03:07.42
AND, IN ACTS 14:22 PAUL SAID,
"STRENGTHENING THE SOULS OF THE
00:03:07.45\00:03:12.15
DISCIPLES, EXHORTING THEM
TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH AND
00:03:12.19\00:03:15.36
SAYING, 'WE MUST THROUGH MANY
TRIBULATIONS ENTER THE KINGDOM
00:03:15.39\00:03:19.33
OF GOD.'" TRIBULATIONS IS
RELATED TO THE WORD 'TROUBLE'.
00:03:19.36\00:03:23.23
IT'S THROUGH TROUBLE
WE ENTER THE KINGDOM.
00:03:23.26\00:03:26.33
THERE'S GOING TO BE TROUBLE,
THERE'S GOING TO BE PROBLEMS,
00:03:26.37\00:03:28.50
BUT GOD DOES NOT WANT YOU
TO WORRY ABOUT THESE TROUBLES.
00:03:28.54\00:03:33.04
HE WANTS US TO LEARN TO
TRUST THROUGH THE TROUBLES.
00:03:33.07\00:03:36.85
SO OFTEN IN THE BIBLE, THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL CAME TO A
00:03:36.88\00:03:39.41
POINT WHERE IT
LOOKED LIKE IT WAS HOPELESS.
00:03:39.45\00:03:41.68
THEY'D BE AT THE BORDERS OF THE
RED SEA, THEY'D HAVE MOUNTAINS
00:03:41.72\00:03:44.49
ON BOTH SIDES, AN OCEAN IN
FRONT, AND AN ARMY OF ANGRY
00:03:44.52\00:03:47.86
EGYPTIANS CHARGING DOWN ON THEM.
THEY WEREN'T ARMED AND THEY
00:03:47.89\00:03:51.79
STARTED TO CRY OUT AND
WORRY. 'WHAT DO WE DO?'
00:03:51.83\00:03:54.73
YOU KNOW WHAT GOD TOLD THEM?
00:03:54.76\00:03:56.46
'STAND STILL AND SEE THE
SALVATION OF THE LORD.' GOD
00:03:56.50\00:04:00.24
ALLOWED THE TROUBLE TO COME
THAT THEY MIGHT DEVELOP TRUST.
00:04:00.27\00:04:04.51
DEUTERONOMY 33:25 PROMISES,
"YOUR SANDALS SHALL BE IRON" -
00:04:04.54\00:04:09.94
THAT SOUNDS UNCOMFORTABLE BUT
I'LL EXPLAIN - "AND BRONZE; AS
00:04:09.98\00:04:13.72
YOUR DAYS, SO
SHALL YOUR STRENGTH BE."
00:04:13.75\00:04:16.22
MEANING THAT
THEY WON'T WEAR OUT.
00:04:16.25\00:04:20.42
YOU KNOW, FOR THE FORTY YEARS
THEY WERE IN THE WILDERNESS, GOD
00:04:20.46\00:04:22.22
SAID, 'YOUR
SHOES DIDN'T WEAR OUT.
00:04:22.26\00:04:23.73
YOUR CLOTHES DIDN'T WEAR OUT.'
HE SAID, 'AS YOUR DAYS, SO SHALL
00:04:23.76\00:04:28.03
YOUR STRENGTH BE.' GOD IS
NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU HERCULEAN
00:04:28.06\00:04:31.07
STRENGTH FOR TODAY THAT
YOU REALLY DON'T NEED UNTIL
00:04:31.10\00:04:34.90
TOMORROW. WHEN
THE CHALLENGE COMES
00:04:34.94\00:04:37.24
HE GIVES YOU THE STRENGTH.
PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME, 'PASTOR
00:04:37.27\00:04:40.64
DOUG, DO YOU THINK
YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH FAITH?'
00:04:40.68\00:04:43.21
YOU'VE PROBABLY
WONDERED THIS YOURSELF.
00:04:43.24\00:04:45.51
'IF WE GET TORTURED FOR OUR
FAITH, DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH FAITH
00:04:45.55\00:04:48.72
WHERE YOU WOULD NOT DENY
JESUS IN THE FACE OF TORTURE?'
00:04:48.75\00:04:53.05
AND MY ANSWER WOULD
BE, 'NOT TODAY I DON'T.
00:04:53.09\00:04:55.99
BUT, I HOPE THAT WHEN THAT DAY
COMES, I WILL.' AND SO, I'M NOT
00:04:56.02\00:05:01.03
GOING TO WORRY ABOUT THAT NOW
BECAUSE, AS YOUR DAYS, SO WILL
00:05:01.06\00:05:05.77
YOUR STRENGTH BE.
YOU'RE NOT TO SAY, 'LORD, GIVE
00:05:05.80\00:05:08.70
ME THIS MONTH MY MONTHLY BREAD,
YOU SAY, 'GIVE ME THIS DAY MY
00:05:08.74\00:05:13.04
DAILY BREAD.' NOW, WHEN
GOD TELLS YOU NOT TO WORRY, IT
00:05:13.07\00:05:17.38
DOESN'T MEAN THAT
YOU'RE NOT TO PLAN.
00:05:17.41\00:05:20.38
BUT A LOT OF THINGS WE WORRY
ABOUT, WE DON'T EVER HAVE TO
00:05:20.42\00:05:23.45
DEAL WITH. SOMEBODY
DID A STUDY ABOUT THE
00:05:23.49\00:05:27.02
AVERAGE PERSON AND WHAT THEY
WORRY ABOUT AND THEY FOUND THAT
00:05:27.06\00:05:29.32
40 PERCENT OF WHAT PEOPLE
WORRY ABOUT NEVER HAPPENS.
00:05:29.36\00:05:34.13
REMINDS ME OF THAT LADY THAT WAS
ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE, 'DON'T
00:05:34.20\00:05:37.60
TELL ME WORRY DOESN'T DO ANY
GOOD, THE THINGS I WORRY ABOUT
00:05:37.63\00:05:39.87
NEVER HAPPEN.' (LAUGHTER)
SHE THOUGHT THAT'S BECAUSE SHE
00:05:39.90\00:05:42.90
WORRIED ABOUT THEM.
40 PERCENT OF WHAT PEOPLE
00:05:42.94\00:05:45.81
WORRY ABOUT NEVER HAPPENS.
30 PERCENT OF WHAT PEOPLE WORRY
00:05:45.84\00:05:48.28
ABOUT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED AND
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
00:05:48.31\00:05:53.15
HAVE YOU EVER SPENT
TIME WORRYING ABOUT REGRETS?
00:05:53.18\00:05:55.82
OR YOU COME AWAY FROM A
DIFFICULT CONVERSATION AND YOU
00:05:55.85\00:05:58.05
KEEP THINKING ABOUT
WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID?
00:05:58.09\00:06:00.79
I'VE DONE THAT. OR
YOU'VE MADE BAD DECISIONS AND
00:06:00.82\00:06:04.13
YOU JUST KEEP REHASHING IT AND
THEN, YOU KNOW, EVERY NOW AND
00:06:04.16\00:06:06.39
THEN THE LORD SAYS, 'YOU CAN'T
CHANGE IT. IT'S IN THE PAST.'
00:06:06.43\00:06:10.33
BUT WE STILL WORRY
ABOUT THINGS - IT'S TOO LATE
00:06:10.37\00:06:13.03
- SPEND TIME IN REGRET.
12 PERCENT WORRY ABOUT WHAT
00:06:13.07\00:06:16.20
OTHERS SAY ABOUT THEM -
AND YOU CAN'T REALLY CHANGE
00:06:16.24\00:06:18.57
MUCH ABOUT THAT. 10
PERCENT WORRY - DEALS WITH
00:06:18.61\00:06:22.28
YOUR HEALTH AND, OF COURSE,
WORRYING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH CAN
00:06:22.31\00:06:25.31
ALWAYS MAKE YOUR HEALTH WORSE.
THAT MEANS THAT LEAVES ABOUT 8
00:06:25.35\00:06:29.75
PERCENT OF THINGS THAT
ARE WORTH CONSIDERATION.
00:06:29.78\00:06:33.66
MOST OF WHAT WE WORRY ABOUT
IS REALLY A BIG WASTE OF TIME.
00:06:33.69\00:06:36.29
NOW, WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS,
'DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE' -
00:06:36.32\00:06:39.63
JESUS SAID, 'DO NOT WORRY ABOUT
YOUR LIFE' - THAT'S A COMMAND -
00:06:39.66\00:06:41.73
THAT DOESN'T MEAN
DON'T EVER THINK OR PLAN.
00:06:41.76\00:06:46.70
HE'S NOT ASKING US TO JUST
KIND OF GO SKIPPING IDIOTICALLY
00:06:46.74\00:06:52.44
THROUGH LIFE, WITHOUT A CARE
IN THE WORLD - NOT WORRIED ABOUT
00:06:52.47\00:06:55.34
ANYTHING - AND
BEING IRRESPONSIBLE.
00:06:55.38\00:06:58.75
GOD DOES WANT YOU TO THINK.
AND THERE ARE SCRIPTURES THAT
00:06:58.78\00:07:00.82
TALK TO US ABOUT PLANNING.
PROVERBS 21:5, "THE PLANS OF THE
00:07:00.85\00:07:05.25
DILIGENT LEAD SURELY TO PLENTY,
BUT THOSE OF EVERYONE WHO IS
00:07:05.29\00:07:09.16
HASTY, SURELY TO
POVERTY." YOU SHOULD PLAN.
00:07:09.19\00:07:12.36
PROVERBS 11:14, "WHERE THERE IS
NO COUNCIL THE PEOPLE FAIL; BUT
00:07:12.39\00:07:16.60
IN THE MULTITUDE OF
COUNSELORS THERE IS SAFETY."
00:07:16.63\00:07:19.70
AND JESUS SAID, 'WHICH OF
YOU, INTENDING TO BUILD A TOWER,
00:07:19.73\00:07:22.24
DOESN'T SIT DOWN
FIRST AND COUNT THE COST?'
00:07:22.27\00:07:24.64
THERE NEEDS TO BE PLANNING IN
LIFE. GOD IS PRACTICAL IN THAT
00:07:24.67\00:07:27.61
WAY. THERE'S A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING
00:07:27.64\00:07:29.61
AWARE THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM
AND WORRYING ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
00:07:29.64\00:07:34.98
STRESSING AND BEING ANXIOUS AND
FRETTING AND WRINGING YOUR HANDS
00:07:35.02\00:07:38.12
AND LOSING SLEEP - WE NEED TO
KNOW HOW TO COMMIT OUR TROUBLES
00:07:38.15\00:07:41.82
TO THE LORD. I HEARD
ABOUT A MAN THAT CAME
00:07:41.86\00:07:45.83
OUT FROM THIS OFFICE BUILDING
IN CHICAGO AN THE POLICEMAN WAS
00:07:45.86\00:07:48.30
WRITING HIM A TICKET FOR DOUBLE
PARKING. HE SAID, 'WHAT IN THE
00:07:48.33\00:07:50.60
WORLD POSSESSED YOU
TO MAKE YOU DO THIS?'
00:07:50.63\00:07:52.20
THE MAN SAID, 'WELL, WHENEVER
I GO TO THE DENTIST, I'LL ALWAYS
00:07:52.23\00:07:54.80
DOUBLE PARK BECAUSE IT GIVES
ME SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
00:07:54.84\00:07:58.64
I WORRY ABOUT GETTING A TICKET
AND I DON'T THINK ABOUT THE
00:07:58.67\00:08:01.31
DRILL.'
(LAUGHTER) IT'S A DIVERSION.
00:08:01.34\00:08:07.02
NOW, YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING,
'PASTOR DOUG, ARE YOU SAYING
00:08:07.05\00:08:11.05
THAT WORRYING IS A
SIN?' WELL, IT CAN BE.
00:08:11.09\00:08:15.12
I MEAN, WHENEVER JESUS SAYS,
'THOU SHALT NOT WORRY' AND YOU
00:08:15.16\00:08:17.99
WORRY, YOU WONDER,
'WELL, IS IT A SIN?'
00:08:18.03\00:08:21.00
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, ROMANS 14:23
SAYS, "...FOR WHATEVER IS NOT
00:08:21.03\00:08:24.27
FROM FAITH IS SIN." AND
SO, IF WE'RE SPENDING A LOT
00:08:24.30\00:08:28.17
OF TIME WORRYING ABOUT THINGS,
IT MEANS YOU DON'T TRUST THAT
00:08:28.20\00:08:31.34
THERE'S A GOD WHO CAN HELP YOU.
HEBREWS 11:6, "BUT WITHOUT FAITH
00:08:31.37\00:08:35.61
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM,
FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST
00:08:35.64\00:08:38.68
BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND
THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THOSE
00:08:38.71\00:08:41.48
WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM."
IN ONE SENSE, WHEN WE WORRY, WE
00:08:41.52\00:08:45.62
MAKE OURSELVES GOD, AND
THAT'S IDOLATRY - AS THOUGH WE
00:08:45.65\00:08:49.39
HAVE POWER TO
CHANGE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
00:08:49.42\00:08:52.66
IT'S LIKE THIS MAN WHO WAS
WALKING AROUND NEW YORK CITY
00:08:52.69\00:08:55.30
CLAPPING HIS HANDS OVER HIS HEAD
AND SOMEONE FINALLY ASKED HIM,
00:08:55.33\00:08:57.80
'WHY DO YOU DO THAT?' HE
SAID, 'IT KEEPS THE LIONS
00:08:57.83\00:09:00.34
AWAY.' HE SAID, 'IT
KEEPS THE LIONS AWAY?
00:09:00.37\00:09:04.04
THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY MOUNTAIN
LIONS IN NEW YORK CITY FOR
00:09:04.07\00:09:06.04
150 YEARS.' HE SAID,
'EFFECTIVE, ISN'T IT?'
00:09:06.07\00:09:09.31
(LAUGHTER) SOMEONE ONCE SAID A
DAY OF WORRY IS MORE EXHAUSTING
00:09:09.34\00:09:14.02
THAN A DAY OF WORK.
LUKE 12:29: "AND DO NOT SEEK
00:09:14.05\00:09:18.75
WHAT YOU SHOULD EAT OR
WHAT YOU SHOULD DRINK, NOR
00:09:18.79\00:09:21.16
HAVE AN ANXIOUS MIND." -
HE'S NOT SAYING DON'T THINK
00:09:21.19\00:09:23.83
ABOUT IT, BUT DON'T BE ANXIOUS
ABOUT IT - "FOR ALL THESE THINGS
00:09:23.86\00:09:27.76
THE NATIONS OF THE
WORLD SEEK AFTER..."
00:09:27.76\00:09:29.93
JESUS IS SAYING YOU'RE NO
DIFFERENT THAN THE UNBELIEVERS
00:09:29.96\00:09:32.40
IF YOU JUST WORRY ALL
THE TIME ABOUT THESE THINGS.
00:09:32.43\00:09:35.37
GOD'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:09:35.40\00:09:37.31
YOUR FATHER KNOWS YOU NEED THESE
THINGS - "BUT SEEK FIRST THE
00:09:37.34\00:09:41.44
KINGDOM OF GOD, AND ALL
THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED."
00:09:41.48\00:09:45.68
I REMEMBER TALKING TO A DEAR
FRIEND OF MINE, A BUILDER, AND
00:09:45.71\00:09:50.62
HE WENT UP TO ALASKA DURING A
BUILDING BOOM AND HE WAS DOING
00:09:50.65\00:09:53.25
VERY WELL. AND
THEN THE BOTTOM FELL OUT
00:09:53.29\00:09:55.46
AND IT HIT HARD AND THEY
WERE OVER-EXTENDED AND THEN JUST
00:09:55.49\00:09:57.96
ALMOST OVERNIGHT THEY HAD NO
MONEY - AND THE HOUSE PAYMENTS
00:09:57.99\00:10:02.56
- HAD NOWHERE TO GO AND THIS
FAMILY WAS TOTALLY OUT OF FOOD -
00:10:02.60\00:10:06.13
BUT THEY WERE
CHRISTIANS - HAD THREE KIDS.
00:10:06.17\00:10:08.60
AND THEY SAID, 'LOOK, THE
LORD KNOWS THAT WE NEED FOOD.
00:10:08.64\00:10:13.38
HE'S PROMISED HE WILL NOT LET
US GO HUNGRY - WE READ IT RIGHT
00:10:13.41\00:10:15.84
HERE IN THE WORD THAT, "IF YOU
THEN, BEING EVIL, KNOW HOW TO
00:10:15.88\00:10:19.01
GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO YOUR
CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE WILL
00:10:19.05\00:10:21.68
YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN
GIVE...TO THOSE WHO ASK HIM?"
00:10:21.72\00:10:24.75
THEY SAID, 'LET'S ASK JESUS.'
SO, WITH THE THREE KIDS - THEY
00:10:24.79\00:10:27.72
SAID, 'WE NEED TO
TEACH THE KIDS FAITH.
00:10:27.76\00:10:29.19
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE GOD'S GOING
TO GET US THE FOOD.' BUT THEY
00:10:29.22\00:10:31.16
KNELT DOWN AND THEY
PRAYED. THEY TOLD ME THIS STORY.
00:10:31.19\00:10:32.96
THEY SAID, 'WHILE THEY'RE ON
THEIR KNEES PRAYING FOR FOOD,
00:10:32.99\00:10:35.93
THE DOORBELL RINGS.
IT WAS A NEIGHBOR WHO
00:10:35.96\00:10:39.43
WORKED FOR AN AIRLINE.
SHE SAID, 'BECAUSE OF THE
00:10:39.47\00:10:41.74
WEATHER, THE
FLIGHT WAS CANCELED.
00:10:41.77\00:10:43.54
THEY'VE GOT ALL
THIS FOOD FOR THE FLIGHT.
00:10:43.57\00:10:46.44
COULD YOU GUYS USE ANY?'
ALL THESE PRE-PREPARED MEALS.
00:10:46.47\00:10:49.34
THEY SAID,' WE ATE ALL
THIS AIRLINE FOOD THAT DAY - FOR
00:10:49.38\00:10:52.31
SEVERAL DAYS - THEY
GAVE THEM ALL THESE TRAYS.
00:10:52.35\00:10:53.85
BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK
THAT DID FOR THE KIDS' FAITH?
00:10:53.88\00:10:56.12
WHEN THEY SAW THEIR PARENTS,
THEY WERE PRAYING FOR FOOD AND
00:10:56.15\00:10:58.99
THE DOORBELL
RINGS AND THERE'S FOOD.
00:10:59.02\00:11:02.32
I'VE HAD THE LORD DO
THAT FOR ME AND JUST MIRACLES.
00:11:02.36\00:11:07.13
SO GOD'LL PROVIDE YOUR BASICS.
HE SENT THE APOSTLES OUT AND HE
00:11:07.20\00:11:10.43
SAID, 'WHEN YOU
GO, DON'T TAKE FOOD.
00:11:10.47\00:11:12.50
DON'T TAKE A PURSE.
DON'T TAKE YOUR CREDIT CARD' -
00:11:12.53\00:11:16.14
HE DIDN'T SAY THAT
BUT THAT WAS THE CONCEPT.
00:11:16.17\00:11:18.31
HE SAID, 'DON'T
TAKE AN EXTRA STAFF.'
00:11:18.34\00:11:20.81
HE SAID, 'YOU GO, YOU TRUST ME.
00:11:20.84\00:11:22.91
WHATEVER HOUSE YOU ENTER,
PRAY THE BLESSING ON THE HOUSE.
00:11:22.94\00:11:25.85
HOPEFULLY
THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:11:25.88\00:11:27.62
AND THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, PART
OF THE HOSPITALITY BACK THEN.
00:11:27.65\00:11:32.15
SO WORRY
CONTRADICTS YOUR WITNESS.
00:11:32.19\00:11:34.76
OSWALD CHAMBERS SAID, 'WORRY IS
AN INDICATION THAT WE THINK GOD
00:11:34.79\00:11:38.73
CAN'T LOOK AFTER US.' THERE ARE
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WORRY ABOUT
00:11:38.76\00:11:42.13
WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE, BUT THEN
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
00:11:42.16\00:11:45.23
WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY DO HAVE.
00:11:45.27\00:11:47.67
WE KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO WORRY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE
00:11:47.70\00:11:50.21
ENOUGH BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S
A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT
00:11:50.24\00:11:53.41
WORRY BECAUSE
THEY HAVE TOO MUCH.
00:11:53.44\00:11:56.01
I THINK IT WAS BEN FRANKLIN THAT
SAID, 'ABUNDANCE DESTROYS MORE
00:11:56.04\00:11:59.85
PEOPLE THAN WANT.' SO
YOU CAN WORRY BOTH WAYS.

DOUG: THEY'VE BEEN HAVING THIS
00:13:05.65\00:13:09.62
FAD CALLED TINY
LIVING. ANY OF YOU EVER
00:13:09.65\00:13:13.59
SEEN SOME OF THIS?
AND, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE
00:13:13.62\00:13:17.93
SAYING, 'YOU KNOW, WE NEED
TO BECAUSE OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:13:17.96\00:13:19.96
WE PRODUCE TOO MUCH CARBON
AND WE NEED TO REDUCE OUR CARBON
00:13:20.00\00:13:22.70
FOOTPRINT SO WE NEED TO START
LIVING SMALLER.' PART OF THE
00:13:22.73\00:13:25.90
REASON FOR THAT IS, I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU KNOW THE STATISTICS BUT,
00:13:25.93\00:13:28.64
IN THE LAST 45 YEARS - FROM 1973
- THE AVERAGE AMERICAN NEW HOME
00:13:28.67\00:13:35.04
HAS GONE UP 1,000 SQUARE FEET
YET, DURING THAT SAME 45 YEARS,
00:13:35.08\00:13:40.02
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE
HOUSE HAS GONE DOWN FROM 3.1
00:13:40.05\00:13:44.49
PEOPLE TO 2.5 PEOPLE. SO
WE'VE GOT FEWER PEOPLE IN
00:13:44.52\00:13:48.16
BIGGER HOUSES THAN
EVER, AND THOSE HOUSES ARE
00:13:48.19\00:13:50.89
FULL OF STUFF
TOO. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:13:50.93\00:13:55.40
HOW MANY OF YOU DRIVE DOWN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU KNOW YOUR
00:13:55.43\00:13:57.70
FRIENDS HAVE A TWO-CAR
GARAGE BUT BOTH CARS ARE PARKED
00:13:57.73\00:13:59.70
OUTSIDE? (LAUGHTER) NO, WE'VE
GOT OUR CARS IN OUR GARAGE - I'M
00:13:59.73\00:14:06.34
JUST SAYING DO YOU KNOW? HAVE
YOU SEEN THAT? JESUS SAID, A
00:14:06.37\00:14:09.31
MAN'S "...LIFE DOES NOT CONSIST
IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THE THINGS
00:14:09.34\00:14:12.38
HE POSSESSES." I THINK IT'S SO
FUNNY, THOUGH, YOU WATCH THESE
00:14:12.41\00:14:16.02
PEOPLE SAY, 'YOU KNOW, WE WANT
TO REDUCE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
00:14:16.05\00:14:18.59
AND WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO
A TINY HOUSE.' AND SO, THEY'LL
00:14:18.62\00:14:22.26
SHOW THIS PROGRAM ABOUT
HOW THEY BUILD AND DESIGN
00:14:22.29\00:14:24.63
THIS TINY HOUSE AND IT DOES ALL
THIS - THEY DO EVERYTHING THEY
00:14:24.66\00:14:27.66
CAN TO SAVE SPACE
AND THEY - VERY CREATIVE.
00:14:27.66\00:14:32.00
AND I SOMETIMES HAVE BEEN NEXT
TO KAREN AND IT JUST CRACKS ME
00:14:32.03\00:14:36.17
UP EVERY TIME BECAUSE WHEN THEY
FIRST SHOW THEM THEIR NEW TINY
00:14:36.20\00:14:38.57
HOUSE, THEY GO IN AND SAY, 'BOY
THIS IS REALLY SMALL.' I THINK,
00:14:38.61\00:14:44.21
'THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID YOU
WANTED.' THERE'S A LAW OF LIFE:
00:14:44.25\00:14:48.75
YOU WILL FILL
WHATEVER SPACE YOU HAVE.
00:14:48.78\00:14:52.72
MOVE INTO A BIGGER HOUSE, WAIT
A FEW YEARS, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.
00:14:52.75\00:14:55.59
YOU WILL FILL WHATEVER SPACE
YOU HAVE AND, IF YOU LIVE IN
00:14:55.62\00:14:58.13
AMERICA, YOU MAY RENT
EXTRA SPACE TO STORE YOUR STUFF.
00:14:58.16\00:15:03.93
AND THEN YOU HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT YOUR STUFF.
00:15:03.97\00:15:06.70
AND YOU CAN'T GO ON A MISSION
TRIP BECAUSE WHO'S GOING TO TAKE
00:15:06.74\00:15:08.94
CARE OF YOUR STUFF? AM I RIGHT?
00:15:08.97\00:15:13.34
YOU CAN BECOME A
PRISONER TO YOUR STUFF.
00:15:13.38\00:15:16.18
AND YOU SPEND YOUR WEEKENDS -
YOU COULD BE VISITING WITH YOUR
00:15:16.21\00:15:18.25
NEIGHBORS AND GIVING BIBLE
STUDIES - OILING AND MAINTAINING
00:15:18.28\00:15:20.78
YOUR STUFF - AND
MOWING YOUR STUFF.
00:15:20.82\00:15:26.25
IT GOT REALLY
QUIET ALL OF A SUDDEN.
00:15:26.29\00:15:28.22
(LAUGHTER) LUKE 8:14: JESUS
SAID, "NOW" - SOME OF THE SEED -
00:15:28.26\00:15:33.13
"FELL AMONG THORNS ARE THOSE
WHO, WHEN THEY HAVE HEARD" - THE
00:15:33.16\00:15:36.60
WORD OF GOD - "GO OUT AND ARE
CHOKED WITH CARES, RICHES..."
00:15:36.63\00:15:42.07
YOU REMEMBER, WE STUDIED
WHAT THE WORD 'WORRY' MEANS - IT
00:15:42.10\00:15:44.24
COMES FROM THE WORD
WYRGAN - IT'S AN ANCIENT WORD.
00:15:44.27\00:15:46.57
IT MEANS 'TO CHOKE; TO
STRANGLE'. AND SOMETIMES THE
00:15:46.61\00:15:51.98
TRUTH IS STRANGLED IN OUR
LIVES BY WORRIES AND CONCERN.
00:15:52.01\00:15:56.89
1 TIMOTHY 6:6, "NOW GODLINESS
WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN."
00:15:56.92\00:16:02.09
IF WE CAN BE CONTENT AND
SATISFIED WITH A LITTLE BIT,
00:16:02.12\00:16:06.09
THEN EVERYTHING ELSE IS A PLUS
- "FOR WE BROUGHT NOTHING INTO
00:16:06.13\00:16:09.00
THIS WORLD, AND IT IS CERTAIN
WE CAN CARRY NOTHING OUT.
00:16:09.03\00:16:11.93
AND HAVING FOOD AND CLOTHING,
WITH THESE WE SHALL BE CONTENT.
00:16:11.97\00:16:15.50
THOSE WHO DESIRE TO BE RICH FALL
INTO TEMPTATION AND A SNARE, AND
00:16:15.54\00:16:19.17
INTO MANY FOOLISH AND
HARMFUL LUSTS WHICH DROWN MEN IN
00:16:19.21\00:16:21.74
DESTRUCTION AND PERDITION."
NOTICE THAT WORD 'DROWN' - "FOR
00:16:21.78\00:16:26.38
THE LOVE OF MONEY IS A ROOT
OF ALL KINDS OF EVIL," - MONEY'S
00:16:26.41\00:16:28.48
NOT EVIL, BUT THE LOVE OF IT IS
- "FOR WHICH SOME HAVE STRAYED
00:16:28.52\00:16:31.99
FROM THE FAITH IN GREEDINESS
AND THEN PIERCED THEMSELVES
00:16:32.02\00:16:36.06
THROUGH WITH MANY SORROWS."
IN SPITE OF ALL THE OTHER
00:16:36.09\00:16:39.03
PROBLEMS THAT CAN COME WITH
THAT ABUNDANCE, THERE'S MANY
00:16:39.06\00:16:42.13
SORROWS THAT PIERCE THEM. PLAIN
OLD WORRY. YOU KNOW, I HOPE
00:16:42.16\00:16:47.67
YOU'LL FORGIVE ME FOR QUOTING
FROM A SECULAR SONG, BUT THERE'S
00:16:47.70\00:16:50.81
AN OLD HIPPIE SONG KRIS
KRISTOFFERSON WROTE, CALLED ME
00:16:50.84\00:16:56.54
AND BOBBY MCGEE. AND THERE'S
A LINE IN THERE THAT SAYS,
00:16:56.58\00:17:00.42
'FREEDOM IS ANOTHER WORD
FOR NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE'.
00:17:00.45\00:17:03.92
AND, IN SOME WAYS, THAT'S TRUE.
00:17:03.95\00:17:06.86
I REMEMBER JUST PICKING UP MY
BACKPACK AND SAYING, 'I WONDER
00:17:06.89\00:17:11.76
WHAT STATE I'LL GO TO TODAY.'
KAREN AND I MET A FELLOW WHEN WE
00:17:11.79\00:17:17.00
WERE SCUBA DIVING IN HAWAII
A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND HE SAID,
00:17:17.03\00:17:21.60
'WHEN I TRAVEL I
DON'T TAKE ANYTHING WITH ME.
00:17:21.64\00:17:24.24
THE AIRLINES' - HE SAID - 'I'VE
GOT A LITTLE HANDBAG AND I JUST
00:17:24.27\00:17:26.37
GO FROM COUNTRY' - HE SAID - HE
GOT A PASS - I DON'T THINK YOU
00:17:26.41\00:17:30.61
CAN DO IT ANYMORE, BUT HE WAS
TELLING US HE GOT A PASS ON THIS
00:17:30.65\00:17:33.52
AIRLINE, YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE IN
THE WORLD THE AIRLINE FLEW - IT
00:17:33.55\00:17:36.69
WAS A WORLD PASS. YOU
HAD TO DO IT WITHIN A YEAR.
00:17:36.72\00:17:40.26
AND HE'D JUST GO FROM ONE
COUNTRY TO ANO - HE'D JUST TAKE
00:17:40.29\00:17:42.22
HIS TOOTHBRUSH AND A FEW THINGS
AND HE'D GO WHEREVER HE WANTED.
00:17:42.26\00:17:44.56
HE WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL
PHOTOGRAPHER - HE'D WORK THERE -
00:17:44.59\00:17:47.13
AND I JUST - I KIND OF - I
ENVIED THE FREEDOM WITH WHICH HE
00:17:47.20\00:17:52.40
WOULD TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD.
00:17:52.43\00:17:54.27
HE'D TELL US ABOUT ALL THESE
EXOTIC PLACES THAT HE WENT TO
00:17:54.30\00:17:56.64
AND HE SAID, 'NAH, I
DON'T TAKE ANYTHING WITH ME.
00:17:56.67\00:17:58.94
WHEN I GET THERE -
YOU CAN BUY FOOD THERE.
00:17:58.97\00:18:00.71
YOU CAN BUY CLOTHES THERE.' HE
SAID, 'AND THEN I DON'T HAVE TO
00:18:00.74\00:18:02.94
WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING.' ANY WAY,
I JUST - I'LL TRY THAT, LET ME
00:18:02.98\00:18:07.22
KNOW. PEOPLE THINK HAPPINESS
IS GOING TO COME FROM MORE.
00:18:07.25\00:18:13.32
IT'S NOT TRUE.
MORE THINGS DO NOT
00:18:13.36\00:18:15.92
MAKE YOU MORE
VALUABLE. THAT'S ONE MYTH.
00:18:15.96\00:18:18.83
ANOTHER MYTH IS THAT MORE THINGS
WILL MAKE YOU MORE POPULAR.
00:18:18.86\00:18:21.76
THEY'LL JUST
MAKE PEOPLE ENVY YOU.
00:18:21.80\00:18:24.67
MORE THINGS'LL
MAKE YOU MORE SECURE.
00:18:24.70\00:18:27.64
MORE THINGS WILL BRING MORE
CONTENTMENT - USUALLY, IF YOU'RE
00:18:27.67\00:18:30.84
NOT CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE,
MORE WILL NOT BRING YOU MORE
00:18:30.87\00:18:33.51
CONTENTMENT BECAUSE YOU'LL
DISCOVER THERE'S SOMETHING YOU
00:18:33.54\00:18:35.48
DON'T HAVE AND THEN YOU'LL
BE DISCONTENT. OR YOUR NEIGHBOR
00:18:35.51\00:18:38.68
WILL HAVE SOMETHING YOU DON'T
HAVE. 1 TIMOTHY 6:8, "HAVING
00:18:38.71\00:18:42.68
FOOD AND CLOTHING, WITH
THESE WE SHALL BE CONTENT."
00:18:42.72\00:18:46.52
2 CORINTHIANS 9:8, "GOD IS ABLE
TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND TOWARDS
00:18:46.55\00:18:51.63
YOU THAT ALWAYS HAVING ALL
SUFFICIENCY IN ALL THINGS" -
00:18:51.66\00:18:56.20
YOU NOTICE HOW
MANY 'ALLS' THERE ARE?
00:18:56.23\00:18:58.43
- "YOU MAY HAVE AN
ABUNDANCE FOR EVERY GOOD WORK."
00:18:58.47\00:19:01.14
GOD IS ABLE TO GIVE YOU
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO HIS WORK.
00:19:01.17\00:19:04.94
GOD IS NOT GOING TO SEND YOU OUT
INTO THE WORLD TO DO HIS WORK
00:19:04.97\00:19:08.44
AND NOT SUPPLY WHAT YOU NEED
TO DO THE WORK. GOD KNOWS THE
00:19:08.48\00:19:11.15
THINGS THAT YOU NEED.
NOW, HAVING SAID ALL THAT ABOUT
00:19:11.18\00:19:14.68
NOT WORRYING, IS THERE
A TIME YOU SHOULD WORRY?
00:19:14.72\00:19:19.42
YEAH, EVERYTHING THAT GOD
SAID ABOUT THE PROMISES AND NOT
00:19:19.45\00:19:23.73
HAVING TO WORRY, HE'S SAYING
TO THOSE WHO HAVE ACCEPTED HIM.
00:19:23.76\00:19:26.90
IF YOU'VE NOT
ACCEPTED HIM, YOU SHOULD WORRY.
00:19:26.93\00:19:30.97
YOU'VE REALLY GOT
SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
00:19:31.00\00:19:33.40
HEBREWS 10:26, "FOR IF WE SIN
WILLFULLY AFTER WE HAVE RECEIVED
00:19:33.44\00:19:38.17
THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE
TRUTH, THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A
00:19:38.21\00:19:40.88
SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A
CERTAIN FEARFUL EXPECTATION" -
00:19:40.91\00:19:46.18
ISN'T THAT WORRY? -
"OF JUDGMENT, AND FIERY
00:19:46.21\00:19:49.12
INDIGNATION WHICH WILL
DEVOUR THE ADVERSARIES."
00:19:49.15\00:19:52.59
IF YOU'RE TURNING YOUR BACK
ON GOD AND YOU ARE REFUSING TO
00:19:52.62\00:19:55.72
FOLLOW GOD, THEN I
HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE PEACE.
00:19:55.76\00:20:00.23
WHY WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE TO
BE COMFORTABLE ON THEIR WAY TO
00:20:00.26\00:20:02.23
DESTRUCTION? SO
THERE IS A TIME TO WORRY.
00:20:02.26\00:20:04.87
THE BIBLE SAYS, IN ISAIAH 48:22,
"'THERE IS NO PEACE,' SAYS THE
00:20:04.90\00:20:09.40
LORD, 'FOR THE WICKED.'" HE SAYS
THAT, ACTUALLY, TWICE IN HIS
00:20:09.44\00:20:12.21
PROPHECY.
REVELATION 16:11, SPEAKING OF
00:20:12.24\00:20:16.44
THE LOST, "THEY BLASPHEMED THE
GOD OF HEAVEN BECAUSE OF THEIR
00:20:16.48\00:20:19.31
PAINS AND THEIR SORES, AND
DID NOT REPENT OF THEIR DEEDS."
00:20:19.35\00:20:22.08
THEY HAD
SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
00:20:22.12\00:20:23.82
BUT, FOR
BELIEVERS, WE LIVE BY FAITH.
00:20:23.85\00:20:25.99
IT'S A WHOLE
DIFFERENT WORLD VIEW.
00:20:26.02\00:20:28.39
YOU KNOW THE STORY ABOUT
PETER WALKING ON THE WATER?
00:20:28.42\00:20:32.76
HE'S SURROUNDED BY A STORM AND,
AS LONG AS HE HAD HIS EYES ON
00:20:32.79\00:20:35.90
JESUS, HE WAS ABLE
TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.
00:20:35.93\00:20:38.53
YOU CAN HAVE PEACE
IN THE MIDST OF A STORM.
00:20:38.57\00:20:41.34
CHRIST WAS SLEEPING IN A
BOAT. THE DISCIPLES WOKE HIM UP
00:20:41.37\00:20:44.14
AFRAID, HE SAID, 'WHY ARE YOU
AFRAID? WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?'
00:20:44.17\00:20:46.88
HE SAID, 'YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN
WORRY ABOUT THIS.' AND NOW PETER
00:20:46.91\00:20:50.41
IS WALKING ON THE WATER, HE'S
LOOKING AT JESUS, IN THE STORM,
00:20:50.45\00:20:54.45
AND THEN HE TAKES HIS EYES
OFF JESUS - HE STARTS TO SINK.
00:20:54.48\00:20:57.69
WHEN HE STOPPED LOOKING AT JESUS
AND HE STARTED LOOKING AT THE
00:20:57.72\00:21:00.49
WAVES AND THE WIND,
HE STARTED TO WORRY.
00:21:00.52\00:21:04.26
IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND
YOU DON'T LOOK AT THE LORD, YOU
00:21:04.29\00:21:07.60
WILL PROBABLY LOSE FAITH.
THE REASON DAVID WAS ABLE TO
00:21:07.60\00:21:12.23
KILL GOLIATH IS HE DID NOT
LOOK AT HOW TALL GOLIATH WAS.
00:21:12.27\00:21:16.04
HE LOOKED AT HOW BIG GOD WAS.
00:21:16.07\00:21:18.51
JOHN WESLEY WAS WALKING ONE
TIME WITH A FRIEND WHO WAS JUST
00:21:18.54\00:21:22.61
FRETTING AND
WORRYING ABOUT EVERYTHING.
00:21:22.64\00:21:24.21
AND, AS THEY'RE WALKING ALONG,
WESLEY LOOKED OVER INTO THE
00:21:24.25\00:21:26.38
FIELD NEXT TO THE ROAD AND HE
SAW THERE WAS A COW LOOKING OVER
00:21:26.41\00:21:29.65
THE WALL - STONE WALL - AND HE
SAID TO HIS FRIEND, 'DO YOU KNOW
00:21:29.68\00:21:34.29
WHY THAT COW'S LOOKING OVER THE
WALL? HIS FRIEND SAID, 'NO.' AND
00:21:34.32\00:21:39.33
WESLEY SAID, 'BECAUSE HE CAN'T
SEE THROUGH THE WALL.' HE SAID,
00:21:39.36\00:21:44.10
'YOU'RE TRYING TO
LOOK THROUGH YOUR PROBLEMS.
00:21:44.13\00:21:46.33
YOU NEED TO LOOK OVER YOUR
PROBLEMS.' SOMEONE SAID YOU
00:21:46.37\00:21:49.77
SHOULD START EVERY DAY BY
OPENING THE WINDOW OF HEAVEN AND
00:21:49.80\00:21:53.88
SAYING, 'LORD, I'M YOURS TODAY.'
00:21:53.91\00:21:57.21
AND 'MY PROBLEMS ARE
YOUR PROBLEMS BECAUSE I'M YOUR
00:21:57.25\00:22:01.15
CHILD.' WILL HE
TAKE CARE OF YOU?
00:22:01.18\00:22:03.99
AMEN. SO PETER
TOOK HIS EYES OFF JESUS
00:22:04.02\00:22:07.79
AND JESUS SAID, 'WHY DID YOU
DOUBT? WHY DID YOU LOOK AT THE
00:22:07.82\00:22:09.76
WAVES AND THE WIND?'
THE BIBLE TELLS US IF WE FIX
00:22:09.79\00:22:13.43
OUR EYES UPON JESUS - THIS
IS HEBREWS CHAPTER 12 - IT SAYS,
00:22:13.46\00:22:18.50
"THEREFORE...SINCE WE ARE
SURROUNDED BY SO GREAT A CLOUD
00:22:18.53\00:22:20.74
OF WITNESSES, LET US LAY ASIDE
EVERY WEIGHT, AND THE SIN" -
00:22:20.77\00:22:24.01
SOMETIMES WE WORRY
ABOUT OUR SINS, RIGHT?
00:22:24.04\00:22:26.47
- "LET US LAY ASIDE EVERY
WEIGHT, AND THE SIN WHICH SO
00:22:26.51\00:22:28.28
EASILY ENSNARES US, AND
LET US RUN WITH ENDURANCE THE
00:22:28.31\00:22:32.31
RACE...LOOKING UNTO JESUS," -
IN THE ORIGINAL IT SAYS, 'FIXING
00:22:32.35\00:22:35.32
OUR EYES ON JESUS' - "THE AUTHOR
AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH."
00:22:35.35\00:22:38.95
THE REASON WE WORRY IS WE TAKE
OUR EYES OFF JESUS AND WE LOOK
00:22:38.99\00:22:41.49
AT THE WIND AND THE WAVES.
AND WE LOOK AT THE PROBLEMS.
00:22:41.52\00:22:45.46
AGAIN, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE TO
GO THROUGH LIFE OBLIVIOUS THAT
00:22:45.49\00:22:48.10
THERE ARE ISSUES, BUT MAKE SURE
THAT YOUR FAITH IS HANGING ON
00:22:48.13\00:22:51.67
CHRIST. SO WHAT'S
THE ANSWER FOR WORRY?
00:22:51.70\00:22:55.44
PAUL AND SILAS WERE IN PRISON
AND, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD ALL
00:22:55.47\00:23:00.14
KINDS OF REASON TO WORRY - I
MEAN, THEY'RE IN PRISON, THEY
00:23:00.18\00:23:02.01
DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THEY'RE IN
PRISON, THEY'VE JUST BEEN BEATEN
00:23:02.04\00:23:04.55
BUT, IN THE MIDST OF THEIR
PRISON CELL, THEY TURN TO GOD,
00:23:04.58\00:23:07.45
THEY CLAIMED THE PROMISES
OF GOD, THEY START TO SING.
00:23:07.48\00:23:10.05
HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO SING A
HAPPY SONG WHEN YOU'RE FEELING
00:23:10.09\00:23:12.79
WORRIED? EITHER
YOU'RE GOING TO GET MAD
00:23:12.82\00:23:16.29
AT THE SONG OR IT'LL
START CHANGING YOUR ATTITUDE.
00:23:16.32\00:23:21.20
SOLOMON SAID, YOU KNOW, WHEN
SOMEONE SINGS TO A SAD HEART,
00:23:21.23\00:23:23.87
IT'S LIKE VINEGAR. AND
- BUT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU
00:23:23.90\00:23:27.44
START SINGING AND PRAISING
GOD, THE SONGS CAN ACTUALLY
00:23:27.47\00:23:31.81
BRING YOU OUT OF IT.
THAT'S WHAT PAUL AND SILAS DID.
00:23:31.84\00:23:34.94
AND, YOU KNOW WHAT?
DID THEIR SITUATION CHANGE
00:23:34.98\00:23:37.51
WHEN THEY STARTED TO SING?
EARTHQUAKE, CHAINS BROKE, DOORS
00:23:37.55\00:23:43.28
OPENED WHEN
THEY STARTED TO SING.
00:23:43.32\00:23:45.39
THEIR PROBLEM
DISAPPEARED THAT QUICK.
00:23:45.42\00:23:47.26
I MEAN, WHO WOULD HAVE
SAID, 'GOD'S GOING TO SEND AN
00:23:47.29\00:23:49.26
EARTHQUAKE AND
SOLVE MY PROBLEM'?
00:23:49.29\00:23:50.83
USUALLY EARTHQUAKES
CAUSE PROBLEMS, RIGHT?
00:23:50.86\00:23:52.86
OF COURSE, THE BIBLE SAYS
THE ANSWER IS "SEEK FIRST THE
00:23:52.89\00:23:55.76
KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE
00:23:55.80\00:23:59.07
THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU."
WHETHER YOU HAVE TOO LITTLE OR
00:23:59.10\00:24:02.44
TOO MUCH, GOD'LL TAKE CARE
OF YOU AND YOUR PROBLEMS IF
00:24:02.47\00:24:05.81
YOU SEEK FIRST HIS
KINGDOM. IF WE TURN OUR EYES ON
00:24:05.84\00:24:10.58
JESUS - IS GOD
WORRIED? IS HE WORRIED ABOUT
00:24:10.61\00:24:15.78
YOUR PROBLEMS? IF
YOU'RE HIS CHILD AND IF HE'S
00:24:15.82\00:24:18.72
NOT WORRIED, THEN
WHY ARE YOU WORRIED?
00:24:18.75\00:24:22.16
I REMEMBER HEARING ABOUT A
BUSINESSMAN GOT ON AN AIRPLANE
00:24:22.19\00:24:26.39
ONE TIME AND THEN ONE OF THE
LAST THEY BROUGHT ON THE PLANE
00:24:26.43\00:24:30.30
WAS THIS YOUNG 7 OR 8 YEAR-OLD
BOY THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, WAS
00:24:30.33\00:24:34.74
TRAVELING BETWEEN TWO DIVORCED
PARENTS - FIRST TIME HE HAD TO
00:24:34.77\00:24:39.07
DO THIS AND THE FIRST TIME HE
HAD EVER FLOWN - AND THE FLIGHT
00:24:39.11\00:24:43.65
ATTENDANT BUCKLED HIM IN NEXT
TO THIS BUSINESS MAN AND THE
00:24:43.68\00:24:46.38
BUSINESSMAN COULD TELL THE YOUNG
GUY WAS VERY NERVOUS - MAYBE NOT
00:24:46.41\00:24:51.39
JUST ABOUT BEING
ALONE, BUT EVEN ABOUT FLYING.
00:24:51.42\00:24:54.59
AND, AS THE PLANE WAS TAXIING
AND THEIR ENGINES BEGAN TO ROAR
00:24:54.62\00:24:57.93
BEFORE TAKEOFF, HE SAW THE
LITTLE FELLOW'S HANDS WERE ON
00:24:57.96\00:25:00.10
THE ARMREST AND HIS
KNUCKLES WERE WHITE.
00:25:00.13\00:25:04.03
AND THE MAN LOOKED DOWN AT
THE BOY AND SAID, 'THIS IS MY
00:25:04.07\00:25:06.20
FAVORITE PART. ISN'T THIS FUN?'
HE LOOKED AND HE SAW THE MAN
00:25:06.23\00:25:10.91
SMILING AND SHOWING SO
MUCH EXCITEMENT, HE THOUGHT, 'OH
00:25:10.94\00:25:14.58
YEAH, THIS IS FUN.'
HE RELAXED IMMEDIATELY.
00:25:14.61\00:25:16.98
(LAUGHTER) IF YOU'RE TRAVELING
WITH YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND
00:25:17.01\00:25:22.52
HE'S NOT WORRIED,
WHY ARE YOU WORRIED?
00:25:22.55\00:25:25.75
HE'S GOT CONTROL. AMEN.
00:25:25.79\00:25:27.69
YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL.
SO, DO WHAT YOU CAN TO BE
00:25:27.72\00:25:31.69
PRACTICAL, AND THEN
CAST YOUR CARES ON THE LORD
00:25:31.73\00:25:34.73
BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU. AMEN?
00:25:34.73\00:25:36.73
い
00:25:37.30\00:25:40.27
ANNOUNCER: DO YOU FEEL AS
THOUGH YOUR WORLD IS SPIRALING

YOU MORE THAN THEY SHOULD?
00:25:46.14\00:25:47.61
ARE YOU SINKING
WHILE YOU'RE THINKING?
00:25:47.64\00:25:49.98
EXCESSIVE WORRY CAN CONSUME YOU,
EATING YOU FROM THE INSIDE OUT,
00:25:50.01\00:25:53.98
RESULTING IN SICKNESS,
INSOMNIA, AND PARALYZING FEAR.
00:25:54.02\00:25:57.82
IT CAN ALSO DAMAGE
RELATIONSHIPS, RUIN
00:25:57.85\00:25:59.89
OPPORTUNITIES, AND YES, DIMINISH
YOUR WITNESS FOR THE GOSPEL.
00:25:59.92\00:26:04.59

00:26:04.63\00:26:07.03
