00:00:14.26\00:00:17.33
IT'S UNDERSTOOD
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE.
00:00:17.33\00:00:18.96
YOU CAN'T OBEY GOD
IF YOU DON'T LOVE HIM.

"AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS."
00:00:39.70\00:00:43.23
TODAY'S
PRESENTATION IS AN EXCERPT FROM
00:00:43.23\00:00:45.30
"THE EVERLASTING
GOSPEL" VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:45.30\00:00:48.70
>> "WHAT IS THE MAIN THING?"
00:00:53.36\00:00:55.46
IN OUR SCRIPTURE READING THAT
WE HAD, WE ADDRESSED THE VERSE.
00:00:55.46\00:00:59.33
AND I'LL HAVE YOU TURN THERE
WITH ME IN THE BOOK OF MICAH.
00:00:59.33\00:01:04.10
AS A MATTER OF FACT, THIS HAS
BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE VERSES
00:01:04.10\00:01:07.96
IN THE BIBLE.
00:01:07.96\00:01:09.40
AND BECAUSE OF THAT, IT'S ONE OF
THE REASONS THAT WE NAMED ONE OF
00:01:09.40\00:01:14.73
OUR CHILDREN MICAH BECAUSE
THIS VERSE ALWAYS STRUCK ME.
00:01:14.73\00:01:18.56
I LIKE SIMPLE THINGS.
00:01:18.56\00:01:21.36
IT'S SAYING, "LORD, HERE
WE ARE, WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
00:01:21.36\00:01:25.53
THAT'S REALLY THE
BOTTOM LINE, ISN'T IT?
00:01:25.53\00:01:29.06
"WITH WHAT SHALL I COME BEFORE
THE LORD," MICAH 6:6, "WITH WHAT
00:01:29.06\00:01:34.43
SHALL I COME BEFORE THE LORD AND
BOW MYSELF BEFORE THE HIGH GOD."
00:01:34.43\00:01:38.80
WHAT DOES HE WANT?
00:01:38.80\00:01:39.46
HOW DO I WORSHIP HIM?
00:01:39.46\00:01:40.40
WHAT DO I BRING HIM?
00:01:40.40\00:01:42.50
"SHALL I COME BEFORE HIM WITH
BURNT OFFERINGS, WITH CALVES
00:01:42.50\00:01:45.63
A YEAR OLD," THAT MEANS IN THEIR
PRIME, THE YOUNG, THE HEALTHY,
00:01:45.63\00:01:49.43
DO I GIVE HIM
THE BEST CALF I HAVE?
00:01:49.43\00:01:52.56
"WILL THE LORD BE
PLEASED WITH THOUSANDS OF RAMS?"
00:01:52.56\00:01:55.73
MAYBE IT'S NOT A CALF,
MAYBE IF IT'S NOT ONE CALF,
00:01:55.73\00:01:58.13
MAYBE MANY RAMS.
00:01:58.13\00:01:59.56
IS IT--THE HIGHEST
OFFERING THEY HAD WAS THE CALF.
00:01:59.56\00:02:04.23
IT'S WHY THEY SAY THEY
BROUGHT FORTH THE FATTED CALF.
00:02:04.23\00:02:07.00
IT WAS TENDER.
00:02:07.00\00:02:07.76
IT WAS PRIME.
00:02:07.76\00:02:08.56
IT HAD THE MOST POTENTIAL.
00:02:08.56\00:02:10.10
SOMETIMES, THE MOST NUMEROUS
OFFERINGS WERE THE RAMS.
00:02:10.10\00:02:13.76
HE SAID, "IS IT THE
QUALITY OF MY OFFERINGS?
00:02:13.76\00:02:17.53
IS IT THE QUANTITY OF
MY OFFERINGS THAT YOU WANT?
00:02:17.53\00:02:22.80
"OR TEN THOUSAND RIVERS OF OIL?"
00:02:22.80\00:02:26.10
IS IT THE RICHNESS,
THE FATNESS OF THE OIL?
00:02:26.10\00:02:29.73
"SHALL I GIVE MY
FIRSTBORN FOR MY TRANSGRESSION?"
00:02:29.73\00:02:33.16
NOW EVERY JEW KNEW THAT
THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY MAN AND
00:02:33.16\00:02:37.40
BEAST BELONGED TO THE LORD.
00:02:37.40\00:02:38.70
THAT DIDN'T MEAN THEY
WERE ALL SACRIFICED, BUT IT WAS
00:02:38.70\00:02:40.86
CONSECRATED TO THE LORD.
00:02:40.86\00:02:42.70
IF IT WAS A HUMAN, THEN
THEY WOULD MAKE AN OFFERING FOR
00:02:42.70\00:02:46.26
THE FIRSTBORN.
00:02:46.26\00:02:47.96
IF IT WAS AN UNCLEAN ANIMAL,
YOUR FIRSTBORN DONKEY WOULD BE
00:02:47.96\00:02:51.46
CONSECRATED TO THE LORD EXCEPT
YOU WOULDN'T OFFER A DONKEY
00:02:51.46\00:02:54.60
BECAUSE IT'S AN UNCLEAN ANIMAL.
00:02:54.60\00:02:55.93
SO, THEY'D MAKE A DONATION.
00:02:55.93\00:02:57.06
THANK THE LORD
FOR THE FIRSTBORN.
00:02:57.06\00:02:59.20
HE SAYS, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?
00:02:59.20\00:03:00.23
DO YOU WANT THE FIRSTBORN?"
00:03:00.23\00:03:01.73
"THE FRUIT OF MY BODY
FOR THE SIN OF MY SOUL?"
00:03:01.73\00:03:05.43
THIS HERE IS EVEN AN ILLUSION
OF GOD GIVING HIS FIRSTBORN.
00:03:05.43\00:03:09.16
THEN AFTER HE MAKES THAT
STATEMENT, THAT MESSIANIC
00:03:09.16\00:03:11.56
REFERENCE, HERE
IS THE MAIN THING.
00:03:11.56\00:03:16.90
THIS ONE VERSE IS
THE STUDY OF OUR SERMON.
00:03:16.90\00:03:19.73
I DON'T OFTEN DO THIS.
00:03:19.73\00:03:20.60
USUALLY, I TAKE A LOT OF VERSES
AND TALK ABOUT A SUBJECT OR I'LL
00:03:20.60\00:03:23.50
TAKE A STORY AND USE A LOT
OF VERSES TO EXPOUND THE STORY.
00:03:23.50\00:03:26.30
THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES
I'M GOING TO DO AN EXPOSITORY
00:03:26.30\00:03:30.23
MESSAGE ON ONE VERSE.
00:03:30.23\00:03:33.00
HERE'S THE VERSE: "HE HAS
SHOWN YOU, O MAN, WHAT IS GOOD.
00:03:33.00\00:03:37.76
AND WHAT DOES THE
LORD REQUIRE OF YOU?
00:03:37.76\00:03:41.63
BUT TO DO JUSTLY, TO LOVE MERCY
AND TO WALK HUMBLY WITH THY
00:03:41.63\00:03:47.20
GOD."
00:03:47.20\00:03:48.93
WELL, THIS VERSE THAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT TODAY IS THE ESSENCE
00:03:48.93\00:03:54.80
OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
COALESCED INTO ONE VERSE.
00:03:54.80\00:04:01.06
NOW, JOHN 3:16 IS REALLY
THE ESSENCE OF GOD'S MISSION.
00:04:01.06\00:04:06.60
IT'S WHAT GOD DOES,
"GOD SO LOVED" HIS PROVISION.
00:04:06.60\00:04:10.56
IT'S TELLING US THAT HE SO
LOVED THE WORLD, WHAT HE DOES TO
00:04:10.56\00:04:13.40
PROVIDE FOR US.
00:04:13.40\00:04:14.90
BUT THIS VERSE IS UNIQUE IN THAT
IT SUMMARIZES WHAT DOES THE LORD
00:04:14.90\00:04:20.00
WANT FROM US?
00:04:20.00\00:04:21.73
WHAT IS OUR RESPONSE?
00:04:21.73\00:04:23.80
IS IT THE SACRIFICES?
00:04:23.80\00:04:25.83
IS IT A PILGRIMAGE?
00:04:25.83\00:04:27.66
WHAT KIND OF RITUAL IS IT?
00:04:27.66\00:04:30.13
AND HE BOILS IT ALL DOWN
AND HE GIVES US THE MAIN THING.
00:04:30.13\00:04:34.16
SO, WE'RE GOING TO
LOOK AT THAT TOGETHER.
00:04:34.16\00:04:36.66
FIRST OF ALL, LET'S
START AT THE BEGINNING.
00:04:36.66\00:04:40.96
"HE HAS SHOWN YOU," GOD
IS TELLING US WHAT HE WANTS.
00:04:40.96\00:04:46.56
AND HE SAID IT'S NOT A MYSTERY.
00:04:46.56\00:04:48.40
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A DEGREE
00:04:48.40\00:04:52.36
IN ROCKET SCIENCE TO UNDERSTAND.
00:04:52.36\00:04:54.86
IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED.
00:04:54.86\00:04:57.30
I BECOME EXASPERATED SOMETIMES
WHEN I DO EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS
00:04:57.30\00:05:00.96
AND YOU PRESENT THE SIMPLE
GOSPEL TO PEOPLE AND THEY COME
00:05:00.96\00:05:03.63
OUT AND THEY START TO DEBATE
WITH YOU AND THEY SAY, "WELL,
00:05:03.63\00:05:05.70
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME BOOKS
IN THE BIBLE THAT SEEM TO BE
00:05:05.70\00:05:08.30
MISSING.
00:05:08.30\00:05:09.96
AND HOW DO WE KNOW THESE THINGS
WERE TRANSLATED ACCURATELY?"
00:05:09.96\00:05:14.30
AND THEY WANT TO COMPLICATE WHAT
IS REALLY A VERY SIMPLE MESSAGE.
00:05:14.30\00:05:18.36
AND THEY SAY, "WELL,
IT'S STILL MYSTERIOUS.
00:05:18.36\00:05:20.83
IT'S DIFFICULT.
00:05:20.83\00:05:21.93
WHO CAN REALLY KNOW?"
00:05:21.93\00:05:23.83
MARK TWAIN USED TO LOVE TO SAY,
"MOST PEOPLE ARE BOTHERED BY THE
00:05:23.83\00:05:27.90
PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURES
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.
00:05:27.90\00:05:31.10
BUT THE PASSAGES THAT BOTHER
ME ARE THOSE I DO UNDERSTAND."
00:05:31.10\00:05:36.66
"HE HAS SHOWN YOU," YOU KNOW.
00:05:36.66\00:05:40.20
YOU CAN'T STAND BEFORE THE
LORD AND SAY, "I DIDN'T KNOW."
00:05:40.20\00:05:44.20
MOST OF US KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS.
00:05:44.20\00:05:48.10
HOSEA 4:6, "MY PEOPLE
ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF
00:05:48.10\00:05:52.83
KNOWLEDGE."
00:05:52.83\00:05:53.66
"WELL, PASTOR DOUG, THAT
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE CONTRADICTING
00:05:53.66\00:05:55.36
YOURSELF.
00:05:55.36\00:05:56.03
HERE IT SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW."
00:05:56.03\00:05:56.96
YOU HAVE TO KEEP READING.
00:05:56.96\00:05:58.16
HE SAYS, "MY PEOPLE ARE
DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
00:05:58.16\00:06:01.00
BECAUSE THEY HAVE
REJECTED KNOWLEDGE."
00:06:01.00\00:06:04.33
THEY KNEW AND THEY REJECTED IT.
00:06:04.33\00:06:07.73
IT SAYS, "BECAUSE THEY REJECTED
KNOWLEDGE, I'LL REJECT YOU FROM
00:06:07.73\00:06:10.56
BEING A PRIEST FOR ME BECAUSE
YOU'VE FORGOTTEN," THEY KNEW,
00:06:10.56\00:06:15.16
"THE LAW OF YOUR GOD,
I'LL FORGET YOUR CHILDREN."
00:06:15.16\00:06:19.13
IT'S NOT WHAT WE
DON'T UNDERSTAND.
00:06:19.13\00:06:21.26
IT'S WHAT WE DO UNDERSTAND.
00:06:21.26\00:06:24.06
ROMANS 1:18, "FOR THE WRATH OF
GOD FROM HEAVEN IS REVEALED FROM
00:06:24.06\00:06:30.23
HEAVEN AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS
AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN WHO
00:06:30.23\00:06:34.13
SUPPRESS THE TRUTH IN
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; BECAUSE WHAT
00:06:34.13\00:06:40.33
MAY BE KNOWN OF GOD
IS MANIFEST IN THEM.
00:06:40.33\00:06:43.80
GOD HAS SHOWN IT TO THEM."
00:06:43.80\00:06:46.33
HE'S SAYING ALL MEN HE'S SHOWN
IT TO, NOT JUST THE NATION OF
00:06:46.33\00:06:49.76
ISRAEL OR NOT JUST THE CHURCH.
00:06:49.76\00:06:51.80
BUT PEOPLE KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS.
00:06:51.80\00:06:54.03
"FOR SINCE THE CREATION OF THE
WORLD, THE INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES
00:06:54.03\00:06:57.33
OF GOD ARE CLEARLY SEEN BEING
UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT
00:06:57.33\00:07:00.80
ARE MADE, EVEN HIS
ETERNAL POWER AND GODHEAD."
00:07:00.80\00:07:03.80
SO, THEY'RE WITHOUT EXCUSE.
00:07:03.80\00:07:05.83
"HE HAS SHOWN THEE, OLD MAN,"
HE HAS TOLD US WHAT HE WANTS.
00:07:05.83\00:07:11.76
WE CAN'T COME TO CHURCH WEEK BY
WEEK AND SAY, "I'M NOT READY TO
00:07:11.76\00:07:14.30
MAKE A COMMITMENT BECAUSE I'M
NOT REALLY SURE WHAT GOD WANTS."
00:07:14.30\00:07:16.53
YES, YOU KNOW WHAT HE WANTS.
00:07:16.53\00:07:18.33
HE WANTS YOU.
00:07:18.33\00:07:20.26
IT'S LIKE THAT
OLD COUNTRY LOVE SONG.
00:07:20.26\00:07:25.03
IT DATES BACK BEFORE
WILLIE NELSON BUT HE DID IT
00:07:25.03\00:07:27.96
AGAIN, "ALL HE WANTS IS YOU,
NOTHING ELSE WILL DO, NOT JUST
00:07:27.96\00:07:33.56
A PART, HE WANTS ALL OF YOUR
HEART, ALL HE WANTS IS ALL OF
00:07:33.56\00:07:36.66
YOU, ALL HE WANTS IS YOU."
00:07:36.66\00:07:38.60
BUT I'VE NEVER SUNG THAT BEFORE.
00:07:38.60\00:07:43.03
THAT'S NOT TRUE, SORRY.
00:07:43.03\00:07:45.26
THAT'S A SIMPLE MESSAGE, RIGHT?
00:07:45.26\00:07:47.90
THAT'S WHAT THE LORD WANTS.
00:07:47.90\00:07:50.33
DEUTERONOMY 30:11, MOSES AT THE
END OF HIS LIFE, THIS IS WHAT HE
00:07:50.33\00:07:55.10
SAYS TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
IN CASE THEY WERE THINKING, "YOU
00:07:55.10\00:07:57.80
KNOW, WE JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCRIPTURE ON
00:07:57.80\00:08:02.23
OUR SHELF TO REALLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LORD WANTS."
00:08:02.23\00:08:05.73
DEUTERONOMY 30:11, MOSES SAID,
"FOR THIS COMMANDMENT THAT I
00:08:05.73\00:08:09.96
COMMAND YOU TODAY IS
NOT TOO MYSTERIOUS FOR YOU."
00:08:09.96\00:08:15.06
YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S TOO
COMPLICATED, IT'S TOO DEEP.
00:08:15.06\00:08:17.76
NOR CAN YOU SAY, "IT'S
AFAR OFF, WE CAN'T REACH IT."
00:08:17.76\00:08:21.40
"IT'S NOT IN HEAVEN THAT WE
SHOULD SAY, 'WHO WILL ASCEND TO
00:08:21.40\00:08:24.76
HEAVEN FOR US AND BRING IT TO US
THAT WE MAY HEAR IT AND DO IT?'
00:08:24.76\00:08:28.30
NOR IS IT BEYOND THE SEA THAT
YOU SHOULD SAY, 'WHO WILL GO
00:08:28.30\00:08:31.70
OVER THE SEA FOR US AND BRING IT
TO US THAT WE MAY HEAR IT AND DO
00:08:31.70\00:08:34.46
IT?' BUT THE
WORD IS VERY NEAR TO
00:08:34.46\00:08:36.83
YOU; IT'S IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN
YOUR HEART THAT YOU MAY DO IT."
00:08:36.83\00:08:42.30
HE HAS SHOWN YOU.
00:08:42.30\00:08:45.73
NOW KEEP IN MIND WHEN MOSES SAYS
THIS TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
00:08:45.73\00:08:48.63
WHAT WAS THE MOST
PROMINENT FEATURE OF THEIR CAMP?
00:08:48.63\00:08:54.76
GOT THE 12 TRIBES ORGANIZED INTO
THEIR CLUSTERS AND THEY'RE ALL
00:08:54.76\00:08:59.06
ORGANIZED IN A SQUARE WHERE THE
MIDDLE OF THEIR PARADE GROUNDS
00:08:59.06\00:09:05.13
WAS THE SANCTUARY, RIGHT?
00:09:05.13\00:09:07.56
AND IN THE SANCTUARY, THERE
WAS A COURTYARD AND THERE WAS
00:09:07.56\00:09:10.23
THE HOLY PLACE AND
THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
00:09:10.23\00:09:12.93
AND ABOVE IT, THE SHEKINAH
GLORY WAS GLOWING AT NIGHT.
00:09:12.93\00:09:16.46
AND ALMOST LIKE THE WICK OF THAT
CANDLE IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES
00:09:16.46\00:09:22.40
WAS A BOX.
00:09:22.40\00:09:23.86
I BELIEVE THE SHEKINAH GLORY
CAME UP RIGHT FROM THE HOLY OF
00:09:23.86\00:09:26.40
HOLIES.
00:09:26.40\00:09:27.16
AND IN THAT BOX
WAS THE WORD OF GOD.
00:09:27.16\00:09:30.00
SO WHEN MOSES SAID, "DON'T MAKE
EXCUSES THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
00:09:30.00\00:09:33.16
GOD'S WORD IS.
00:09:33.16\00:09:34.70
IT'S RIGHT HERE IN YOUR MIDST."
00:09:34.70\00:09:37.60
YOU HEARD HIM SPEAK THOSE SAME
TEN WORDS FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP.
00:09:37.60\00:09:41.80
YOU KNOW HE WROTE IT WITH HIS
OWN FINGER IN STONE, SO DON'T
00:09:41.80\00:09:45.00
ACT LIKE YOU DON'T
KNOW WHAT HE WANTS.
00:09:45.00\00:09:47.50
HE HAS SHOWN YOU WHAT HE WANTS.
00:09:47.50\00:09:51.80
MOST OF US KNOW.
00:09:51.80\00:09:53.23
EVEN PEOPLE WHO CANNOT RECITE
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS KNOW THAT
00:09:53.23\00:09:57.30
IT'S WRONG TO STEAL.
00:09:57.30\00:10:00.30
EVEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT
MEMORIZED ALL TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:10:00.30\00:10:03.46
KNOW ADULTERY IS WRONG.
00:10:03.46\00:10:05.80
THE WORD IS NOT FAR AWAY.
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.96
HE HAS SHOWN YOU.
00:10:07.96\00:10:10.13
AND BY THE WAY WHEN IT SAYS,
"HE HAS SHOWN THEE, OLD MAN,"
00:10:10.13\00:10:12.06
THAT'S THE INCLUSIVE MAN.
00:10:12.06\00:10:13.70
IT MEANS MANKIND.
00:10:13.70\00:10:15.10
THIS IS NOT JUST FOR MEN.
00:10:15.10\00:10:16.46
HE'S SHOWN THE HUMAN RACE.
00:10:16.46\00:10:20.76
WHAT'S THE NEXT
PART OF OUR VERSE?
00:10:20.76\00:10:24.00
"HE HAS SHOWN YOU WHAT IS GOOD."
00:10:24.00\00:10:27.73
YOU KNOW, SOLOMON WHEN HE
HAD HIS DREAM AND HE PRAYED
00:10:27.73\00:10:34.26
AND HE SAID, "LORD?"
00:10:34.26\00:10:36.16
WHEN GOD SAID,
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
00:10:36.16\00:10:37.76
HE SAID, "LORD, GIVE THEREFORE
YOUR SERVANT AN UNDERSTANDING
00:10:37.76\00:10:41.63
HEART."
00:10:41.63\00:10:42.36
BY THE WAY, 1 KINGS 3:9,
"GIVE THEREFORE YOUR SERVANT
00:10:42.36\00:10:45.83
AN UNDERSTANDING HEART TO JUDGE
YOUR PEOPLE THAT I MIGHT DISCERN
00:10:45.83\00:10:49.03
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL."
00:10:49.03\00:10:52.20
"I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOOD."
00:10:52.20\00:10:56.30
WELL, GOD SAYS, "HE'S
SHOWN YOU WHAT IS GOOD."
00:10:56.30\00:11:00.30
HE REVEALED IT TO SOLOMON.
00:11:00.30\00:11:01.76
HE GAVE HIM THAT WISDOM.
00:11:01.76\00:11:03.50
AS A MATTER OF FACT, SOLOMON
HAD SO MUCH GOING FOR HIM.
00:11:03.50\00:11:08.06
I MEAN HE HAD A LOT OF GOOD
THINGS ABOUT HIM, ESPECIALLY
00:11:08.06\00:11:10.80
WHEN HE WAS YOUNG.
00:11:10.80\00:11:11.96
BUT HE WENT RIGHT AHEAD AND DID
THE VERY THINGS THAT GOD SAID
00:11:11.96\00:11:14.20
DON'T DO.
00:11:14.20\00:11:15.20
GOD SAID, "DON'T
MULTIPLY HORSES."
00:11:15.20\00:11:18.30
AND THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY,
"SOLOMON MULTIPLIED HORSES."
00:11:18.30\00:11:21.33
HE SAID, "DON'T
MULTIPLY RICHES."
00:11:21.33\00:11:24.03
AND HE MULTIPLIED RICHES.
00:11:24.03\00:11:25.90
AND OF COURSE, WORST OF ALL,
IT SAID, "DON'T MULTIPLY WIVES."
00:11:25.90\00:11:30.53
AND HE WENT AND DID THAT.
00:11:30.53\00:11:31.90
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
00:11:31.90\00:11:32.50
HIS WIVES DREW HIM AWAY.
00:11:32.50\00:11:34.06
HIS MONEY MADE HIM PROUD.
00:11:34.06\00:11:35.66
HIS ARMY, THE SIZE OF ALL THE
HORSES IN HIS ARMY, HE BEGAN TO
00:11:35.66\00:11:38.13
TRUST IN THAT INSTEAD OF GOD.
00:11:38.13\00:11:39.86
HE KNEW WHAT TO DO AND WHEN HE
PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD HELP HIM
00:11:39.86\00:11:45.26
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
00:11:45.26\00:11:48.50
MOST OF US KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS.
00:11:48.50\00:11:51.50
THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES US.
00:11:51.50\00:11:52.76
ECCLESIASTES 2:26, BY THE
WAY WRITTEN BY SOLOMON, "FOR GOD
00:11:52.76\00:11:58.26
GIVETH TO ALL MEN THAT IS
GOOD IN HIS SIGHT WISDOM AND
00:11:58.26\00:12:03.43
KNOWLEDGE AND JOY, BUT TO
THE SINNER HE GIVES TRAVAIL."
00:12:03.43\00:12:08.36
GOD GIVES BLESSINGS TO ALL THOSE
THAT ARE GOOD IN HIS SIGHT.
00:12:08.36\00:12:13.23
WE KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS US TO DO.
00:12:13.23\00:12:15.63
DO YOU REMEMBER LUKE 18:18?
00:12:15.63\00:12:18.70
A RICH YOUNG RULER CAME TO JESUS
AND HE SAID, "GOOD MASTER, WHAT
00:12:18.70\00:12:21.66
GOOD THINGS SHALL I DO
THAT I MIGHT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?"
00:12:21.66\00:12:25.60
AND THIS WAS A
DIVERSIONARY TACTIC.
00:12:25.60\00:12:28.43
HE KNEW.
00:12:28.43\00:12:30.26
HE WASN'T SEEKING
FIRST GOD'S KINGDOM.
00:12:30.26\00:12:33.60
HE WAS SEEKING
FIRST EARTHLY TREASURE.
00:12:33.60\00:12:36.66
JESUS ANSWERED HIM AND
HE SAID, "ONLY GOD IS GOOD."
00:12:36.66\00:12:41.60
HE'S SHOWN YOU WHAT IS GOOD.
00:12:41.60\00:12:44.96
1 CORINTHIANS 13:13, IN
THAT GREAT SIMPLE PASSAGE, PAUL
00:12:44.96\00:12:50.33
SUMMARIZES IN THAT CHAPTER
OF LOVE WHAT IS THE BEST THING:
00:12:50.33\00:12:54.10
WHAT IS GOOD?
00:12:54.10\00:12:55.36
LOVE IS GOOD.
00:12:55.36\00:12:57.63
"NOW ABIDES FAITH, HOPE, LOVE,"
THEY'RE ALL GOOD THESE THREE
00:12:57.63\00:13:02.60
"BUT THE GREATEST
OF THESE IS LOVE."
00:13:02.60\00:13:05.43
YOU NOTICE WHAT I DID TO YOU?
00:13:05.43\00:13:07.10
YOU DIDN'T EVEN CATCH IT.
00:13:07.10\00:13:08.60
I QUOTED WHERE JESUS
SAID, "ONLY GOD IS GOOD."
00:13:08.60\00:13:12.00
AND THEN IT SAID, "THE
GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE."
00:13:12.00\00:13:15.60
AND DOESN'T THE
BIBLE SAY, "GOD IS LOVE."
00:13:15.60\00:13:18.46
"HE HAS SHOWN THEE,
OLD MAN, WHAT IS GOOD."
00:13:18.46\00:13:21.26
GOD IS GOOD.
00:13:21.26\00:13:22.80
GOD IS LOVE.
00:13:22.80\00:13:23.80
LOVE IS GOOD.
00:13:23.80\00:13:25.06
MOST PEOPLE KNOW.
00:13:25.06\00:13:26.70
WHAT ARE THE TWO
GREAT COMMANDMENTS?
00:13:26.70\00:13:29.83
LOVE THE LORD.
00:13:29.83\00:13:31.86
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:13:31.86\00:13:33.76
IT'S THIS LOVE RELATIONSHIP.
00:13:33.76\00:13:35.16
THIS IS WHERE MOST OF OUR
PROBLEMS COME IN, THESE TWO LOVE
00:13:35.16\00:13:37.96
RELATIONSHIPS, THIS LOVE
RELATIONSHIP AND THIS LOVE
00:13:37.96\00:13:41.46
RELATIONSHIP.
00:13:41.46\00:13:43.26
AND I THINK IN ORDER FOR YOU
TO HAVE THIS LOVE RELATIONSHIP
00:13:43.26\00:13:46.96
RIGHT, YOU'LL HAVE TO HAVE
THESE LOVE RELATIONSHIPS RIGHT.
00:13:46.96\00:13:50.66
AND THAT WORKS BOTH WAYS.
00:13:50.66\00:13:52.16
IN ORDER FOR THESE LOVE
RELATIONSHIPS TO BE AT THEIR
00:13:52.16\00:13:54.26
BEST, THIS LOVE
RELATIONSHIP NEEDS TO BE RIGHT.
00:13:54.26\00:13:59.63
HE'S SHOWN YOU WHAT IS GOOD.
00:13:59.63\00:14:01.43
GOD IS GOOD.
00:14:01.43\00:14:02.66
GOD IS LOVE.
00:14:02.66\00:14:03.23
LOVE IS GOOD.
00:14:03.23\00:14:04.20
IT'S THE GREATEST.
00:14:04.20\00:14:05.46
IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED.
00:14:05.46\00:14:08.30
"AND WHAT DOES
THE LORD REQUIRE?"
00:14:08.30\00:14:11.33
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
00:14:11.33\00:14:13.36
WE'RE STILL
MOVING THROUGH OUR VERSE.
00:14:13.36\00:14:15.40
"HE HAS SHOWN YOU,
OLD MAN, WHAT IS GOOD.
00:14:15.40\00:14:18.10
AND WHAT DOES THE LORD REQUIRE?"
00:14:18.10\00:14:20.96
NOW, THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
00:14:20.96\00:14:22.56
WHAT DOES THE LORD WANT?
00:14:22.56\00:14:24.63
LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
00:14:24.63\00:14:26.06
PETER--NO PAUL, STRUCK DOWN ON
THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS AND STILL
00:14:26.06\00:14:30.10
TREMBLING.
00:14:30.10\00:14:31.63
JESUS APPEARS TO HIM AND HE
FINALLY SAYS, "LORD, WHAT DO YOU
00:14:31.63\00:14:34.76
WANT ME TO DO?"
00:14:34.76\00:14:36.83
LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
00:14:36.83\00:14:39.13
THAT REALLY SHOULD BE
THE CRY OF EVERY HEART,
00:14:39.13\00:14:42.06
"LORD, WHAT IS YOUR WILL?
00:14:42.06\00:14:43.60
WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR ME TO DO?"
00:14:43.60\00:14:45.06
IS THAT YOUR QUESTION?
00:14:45.06\00:14:47.86
DO YOU SEEK TO FIND THAT OUT?
00:14:47.86\00:14:50.46
I THINK THAT OUGHT TO BE
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
00:14:50.46\00:14:52.96
"HE HAS SHOWN YOU,
OLD MAN, WHAT IS GOOD.
00:14:52.96\00:14:55.56
WHAT DOES THE LORD REQUIRE?"
00:14:55.56\00:14:56.93
YOU NOTICE IT DOESN'T SAY,
"WHAT DOES THE LORD SUGGEST?
00:14:56.93\00:15:00.06
WHAT DOES THE LORD RECOMMEND?"
00:15:00.06\00:15:02.13
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A REQUIREMENT AND
00:15:02.13\00:15:03.86
A RECOMMENDATION?
00:15:03.86\00:15:05.53
YOU BET THERE IS.
00:15:05.53\00:15:07.10
IT IS RECOMMENDED BEFORE A PILOT
FLIES THAT HE FILES A FLIGHT
00:15:07.10\00:15:11.56
PLAN.
00:15:11.56\00:15:13.00
IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.
00:15:13.00\00:15:15.13
NOW, A REQUIREMENT IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU CAN BE PENALIZED
00:15:15.13\00:15:19.13
FOR NOT OBEYING.
00:15:19.13\00:15:21.50
THERE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS
AND THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS.
00:15:21.50\00:15:25.13
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE NOT TEN SUGGESTIONS.
00:15:25.13\00:15:28.46
THEY'RE NOT TEN RECOMMENDATIONS.
00:15:28.46\00:15:31.40
THEY WOULD BE TEN REQUIREMENTS.
00:15:31.40\00:15:35.20
AND YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE WHEN YOU
READ THE INFORMATION ON THE BOX
00:15:35.20\00:15:43.63
THAT HAS THE NUTRITIONAL VALUES,
THEY'VE GOT YOUR MINIMUM DAILY
00:15:43.63\00:15:48.30
REQUIREMENTS FOR VITAMINS.
00:15:48.30\00:15:50.53
I GUESS SOMEBODY DID SOME
RESEARCH TO FIND OUT YOU JUST
00:15:50.53\00:15:52.93
HAVE TO HAVE X-AMOUNT OF CCs
OF VITAMIN C PER DAY OR YOU'RE
00:15:52.93\00:15:57.23
GOING TO GET
SCURVY OR SOMETHING.
00:15:57.23\00:15:59.13
AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
VITAMIN B-12, THERE ACTUALLY ARE
00:15:59.13\00:16:01.46
PEOPLE WHO SUFFER A LOT
OF SIDE EFFECTS FROM THAT.
00:16:01.46\00:16:04.03
MOST OF US GET ENOUGH VITAMIN C,
BUT SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET ENOUGH
00:16:04.03\00:16:06.86
POTASSIUM OR B-12 OR
SOME OF THESE THINGS.
00:16:06.86\00:16:09.10
AND YOU CAN SUFFER FROM THAT.
00:16:09.10\00:16:11.23
YOU GET YOUR MINIMUM
VITAMIN REQUIREMENTS.
00:16:11.23\00:16:14.73
ALL RIGHT, "LORD, WHAT IS
THE MINIMUM BASIC REQUIREMENT?
00:16:14.73\00:16:18.76
WHAT IS THE BASICS
THAT YOU WANT FROM US?"
00:16:18.76\00:16:21.73
AND I DON'T THINK WE OUGHT
TO SHOOT FOR THE MINIMUM, BUT WE
00:16:21.73\00:16:23.23
OUGHT TO MAKE SURE WE
DON'T GET BELOW IT BECAUSE
00:16:23.23\00:16:25.13
IT'S A REQUIREMENT.
00:16:25.13\00:16:26.90
SEE THE DIFFERENCE?
00:16:26.90\00:16:28.53
DON'T GET BELOW
THAT REQUIREMENT.
00:16:28.53\00:16:33.43
DEUTERONOMY 10:12, MOSES AGAIN
IS TELLING US, "AND NOW, ISRAEL,
00:16:33.43\00:16:40.16
WHAT DOES THE LORD
THY GOD REQUIRE OF THEE?"
00:16:40.16\00:16:43.93
HE ANSWERS OUR QUESTION, "BUT TO
FEAR THE LORD THY GOD, TO WALK
00:16:43.93\00:16:49.06
IN ALL OF HIS WAYS, TO LOVE HIM
AND TO SERVE THE LORD THY GOD
00:16:49.06\00:16:54.66
WITH ALL OF THY HEART AND
TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE
00:16:54.66\00:16:58.56
LORD AND HIS STATUTES WHICH
I COMMAND THEE THIS DAY FOR
00:16:58.56\00:17:02.73
THY GOOD."
00:17:02.73\00:17:04.30
YOU MUST DO IT
OR YOU'RE UNHEALTHY.
00:17:04.30\00:17:07.16
IT'S A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.
00:17:07.16\00:17:08.90
LET ME READ THAT AGAIN,
DEUTERONOMY 10:12, "FEAR THE
00:17:08.90\00:17:11.80
LORD, WALK IN HIS WAYS,
LOVE HIM AND SERVE HIM."
00:17:11.80\00:17:15.53
YOU NOTICE IT DOESN'T
SAY, "SERVE HIM AND LOVE HIM."
00:17:15.53\00:17:17.63
BEFORE YOU CAN SERVE
HIM, YOU'VE GOT TO DO WHAT?
00:17:17.63\00:17:20.16
IT SAYS, "LOVE
HIM AND SERVE HIM."
00:17:20.16\00:17:21.80
YOU KNOW IT EVEN SAYS
THAT IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:17:21.80\00:17:24.16
IT'S UNDERSTOOD
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE.
00:17:24.16\00:17:26.00
YOU CAN'T OBEY GOD
IF YOU DON'T LOVE HIM.
00:17:26.00\00:17:28.16
RIGHT IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
IT SAYS, "SHOWING MERCY UNTO
00:17:28.16\00:17:30.40
THOUSANDS OF THEM THAT LOVE
HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS."
00:17:30.40\00:17:34.03
"LOVE HIM," LOVE FIRST AND THEN
WE DO IT BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM.
00:17:34.03\00:17:38.90
THAT'S WHAT THE
LORD REQUIRES OF US.
00:17:38.90\00:17:42.20
ANOTHER GOOD MISSION STATEMENT:
"FEAR THE LORD THY GOD
00:17:42.20\00:17:45.33
AND REVERENCE HIM.
00:17:45.33\00:17:46.76
WALK IN HIS WAYS.
00:17:46.76\00:17:48.43
LOVE HIM AND SERVE HIM WITH ALL
OF YOUR HEART AND ALL OF YOUR
00:17:48.43\00:17:51.00
SOUL AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS."
00:17:51.00\00:17:55.30
LUKE 10:27, REMEMBER
WHEN THE LAWYER SAID TO JESUS,
00:17:55.30\00:18:01.40
"WHAT IS THE
GREATEST OF THE COMMANDMENTS?"
00:18:01.40\00:18:05.26
AND JESUS SAID, "WHAT
DO YOU READ IN THE LAW?"
00:18:05.26\00:18:07.36
AND HE ANSWERED HIS OWN
QUESTION, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE
00:18:07.36\00:18:09.36
LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR
HEART, WITH ALL OF YOUR SOUL,
00:18:09.36\00:18:11.76
WITH ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH,
WITH ALL OF YOUR MIND AND YOUR
00:18:11.76\00:18:15.53
NEIGHBOR IS YOURSELF.'
AND HE SAID TO HIM, 'YOU HAVE
00:18:15.53\00:18:18.60
ANSWERED RIGHTLY.
00:18:18.60\00:18:19.96
DO THIS AND YOU'LL LIVE.'"
JESUS SAID, "THAT'S IT, EUREKA!
00:18:19.96\00:18:24.36
BINGO!"
00:18:24.36\00:18:25.76
NO, HE DIDN'T SAY "BINGO"
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
00:18:25.76\00:18:30.90
YOU HIT IT.
00:18:30.90\00:18:32.00
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
00:18:32.00\00:18:35.76
"LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL
OF YOUR HEART, ALL OF YOUR SOUL,
00:18:35.76\00:18:39.80
ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH, ALL OF
YOUR MIND AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS
00:18:39.80\00:18:43.93
YOURSELF."
00:18:43.93\00:18:45.00
JESUS SAID,
"YOU'VE RIGHTLY ANSWERED.
00:18:45.00\00:18:47.00
DO THIS AND YOU'LL LIVE."
00:18:47.00\00:18:48.90
WELL, I'D SAY THAT'S
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS.
00:18:48.90\00:18:51.40
"HE HAS SHOWN YOU,
OLD MAN, WHAT IS GOOD.
00:18:51.40\00:18:54.36
AND WHAT DOES THE
LORD REQUIRE OF THEE?"
00:18:54.36\00:18:57.73
NOT JUST
EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT OF YOU.
00:18:57.73\00:19:01.13
WHAT DOES HE WANT FROM YOU?
00:19:01.13\00:19:02.10
NOT JUST FROM THE CHURCH.
00:19:02.10\00:19:03.16
IT'S NOT JUST THE
COLLECTIVE REQUIREMENT.
00:19:03.16\00:19:05.36
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FILL IN ONE
ASPECT, AND I'LL FILL IN ANOTHER
00:19:05.36\00:19:09.00
AND SOMEONE ELSE
WILL FILL IN A THIRD.
00:19:09.00\00:19:10.93
AND COLLECTIVELY,
YOU KNOW IT'S TEAMWORK.
00:19:10.93\00:19:12.93
THERE'S SOMETHING, A MINIMUM
REQUIREMENT OF EVERYBODY.
00:19:12.93\00:19:18.66
HERE IT IS.
00:19:18.66\00:19:20.80
WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO IT NOW.
00:19:20.80\00:19:22.36
THREE BIG PRINCIPLES: DO JUSTLY.
00:19:22.36\00:19:27.23
DO.
00:19:27.23\00:19:28.93
I COULD PREACH A
WHOLE SERMON ON "DO."
00:19:28.93\00:19:32.03
TWO WORDS, SPURGEON USED TO
PREACH A WHOLE SERMON ON "THE."
00:19:32.03\00:19:36.86
I COULD PREACH A WHOLE SERMON
ON "DO," THOSE GOT THREE WORDS.
00:19:36.86\00:19:41.70
I SUPPOSE SOMEONE COULD PREACH
A SERMON ON "I," ONE WORD, ONE
00:19:41.70\00:19:46.76
LETTER, OR "A."
00:19:46.76\00:19:50.33
LET'S TALK ABOUT
"DO" FOR A MINUTE.
00:19:50.33\00:19:52.60
THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION
THESE DAYS ABOUT JUST BELIEVING
00:19:52.60\00:19:57.30
AND WE PLAY DOWN THE DOING.
00:19:57.30\00:19:59.80
BUT WHEN I READ MY BIBLE, JESUS
MAKES A BIG DEAL ABOUT THAT
00:19:59.80\00:20:03.76
TWO-LETTER WORD, "NOT EVERYONE
THAT SAYS UNTO ME, 'LORD, LORD,'
00:20:03.76\00:20:08.03
WILL ENTER INTO THE
KINGDOM BUT THEY THAT DO--"
00:20:08.03\00:20:12.66
THE LORD SAYS THERE'S A MAN
THAT HAD TWO SONS AND HE SAYS,
00:20:12.66\00:20:15.23
"GO WORK IN MY FIELD."
00:20:15.23\00:20:16.23
AND ONE SON SAYS, "I'M GOING,
FATHER" BUT HE DOES NOT GO.
00:20:16.23\00:20:20.96
AND THE OTHER ONE SAYS, "I'M
NOT GOING BUT HE LATER REPENTS
00:20:20.96\00:20:22.83
AND HE GOES."
00:20:22.83\00:20:24.00
AND JESUS THEN ASKS AT THE
CONCLUSION, "WHICH OF THE TWO
00:20:24.00\00:20:27.13
DID," OH THAT'S THREE LETTERS
NOW, RIGHT, "THE WILL OF HIS
00:20:27.13\00:20:30.76
FATHER?"
00:20:30.76\00:20:31.93
SAME PRINCIPLE.
00:20:31.93\00:20:32.83
IT'S THE ONE WHO WENT,
NOT JUST SAYING "LORD, LORD,"
00:20:32.83\00:20:38.66
BUT DO WE DO IT?
00:20:38.66\00:20:40.23
WHEN JESUS SEPARATES
THE WISEMAN FROM THE FOOL,
00:20:40.23\00:20:42.53
WHAT'S THE BIG DIFFERENCE?
00:20:42.53\00:20:44.16
"THE WISEMAN HEARS THESE
WORDS OF MINE AND HE DOES THEM.
00:20:44.16\00:20:48.93
THE FOOLISH MAN HEARS THESE
WORDS OF MINE AND HE DOESN'T
00:20:48.93\00:20:51.40
DO THEM."
00:20:51.40\00:20:53.06
AND SO, IT
DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:20:53.06\00:20:55.73
GOD DOESN'T JUST WANT
CHRISTIANITY TO BE A PHILOSOPHY.
00:20:55.73\00:20:58.96
HE WANTS IT TO BE SOMETHING
THAT WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT.
00:20:58.96\00:21:03.90
DO WHAT?
00:21:03.90\00:21:05.50
DO JUSTLY.
00:21:05.50\00:21:07.13
THAT MEANS DO WHAT IS RIGHT AS
IN "SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF
00:21:07.13\00:21:14.50
GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND
ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE ADDED."
00:21:14.50\00:21:20.03
IN OTHER WORDS, DOING WHAT
IS RIGHT IS: ACT WITH FAIRNESS,
00:21:20.03\00:21:25.53
ACT WITH HONESTY,
ACT WITH INTEGRITY.
00:21:25.53\00:21:30.20
YOU DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY
WHEN YOU KEEP THE MAIN THING
00:21:30.20\00:21:33.50
THE MAIN THING.
00:21:33.50\00:21:34.86
YOU USE GOOD JUDGMENT.
00:21:34.86\00:21:36.90
JESUS SAID, "DON'T JUDGE
ACCORDING TO THE APPEARANCE
00:21:36.90\00:21:39.43
BUT JUDGE A RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT."
00:21:39.43\00:21:41.93
YOU DO WHAT'S RIGHT.
00:21:41.93\00:21:43.43
IT MEANS HONESTY IN OUR
RELATIONSHIPS, NOT GIVING
00:21:43.43\00:21:45.93
PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT OR BEING
BIASED BUT DOING WHAT IS JUST.
00:21:45.93\00:21:52.60
SOMEONE ASKED THIS BUTCHER WHAT
HAPPENED AFTER HE WAS CONVERTED?
00:21:52.60\00:21:59.10
AND HE SAID, "WELL BEFORE I WAS
CONVERTED, I USED TO WEIGH MY
00:21:59.10\00:22:01.83
THUMB."
00:22:01.83\00:22:03.43
SOME OF YOU REMEMBER THE DAYS
WHEN THEY HAD THE OLD-FASHIONED
00:22:03.43\00:22:06.30
SCALES AND THE BUTCHER WOULD
PLOP THE CHICKEN DOWN ON THE
00:22:06.30\00:22:08.70
SCALE AND HE'D LEAN OVER AND HE
COULD PUT HIS THUMB ON THE SCALE
00:22:08.70\00:22:12.33
AND ADD ANOTHER OUNCE TO IT.
00:22:12.33\00:22:14.03
AND THIS BUTCHER SAID, "AFTER
I WAS CONVERTED, I DON'T WEIGH
00:22:14.03\00:22:15.96
MY THUMB ANYMORE."
00:22:15.96\00:22:17.90
HE SAYS, "I WAS
CHEATING THOSE PEOPLE."
00:22:17.90\00:22:19.93
HE SAID, "NOW, IN FACT, WHAT
I DO IS ALL MY CUSTOMERS, I GIVE
00:22:19.93\00:22:22.06
'EM A LITTLE EXTRA TO COMPENSATE
FOR ALL THAT TIME THAT I WEIGHED
00:22:22.06\00:22:25.10
MY THUMB."
00:22:25.10\00:22:26.86
HE SAYS, "NOW I'M A CHRISTIAN,
I DON'T WEIGH MY THUMB."
00:22:26.86\00:22:29.56
DOING JUSTLY.
00:22:29.56\00:22:33.93
WHO WAS IT THAT SAID,
"DISHONESTY IS DISHONESTY
00:22:33.93\00:22:35.96
WHETHER IT'S A
DIME OR A DOLLAR"?
00:22:35.96\00:22:38.23
DOING JUSTLY.
00:22:38.23\00:22:40.50
THAT MEANS THAT YOU'RE FAITHFUL
IN LITTLE THINGS AS WELL AS
00:22:40.50\00:22:46.10
BIG THINGS.
00:22:46.10\00:22:47.83
DOING JUSTLY.
00:22:47.83\00:22:50.40
I LOVE THIS VERSE.
00:22:50.40\00:22:51.50
YOU WANT ANOTHER
GOOD BOTTOM LINE.
00:22:51.50\00:22:53.13
THE SCOUT'S CREED FOR
THE CHRISTIAN, PSALM 15:1,
00:22:53.13\00:22:59.43
"LORD," WHAT DO YOU REQUIRE?
00:22:59.43\00:23:02.90
"WHO MAY ABIDE
IN YOUR TABERNACLE?
00:23:02.90\00:23:05.63
WHO MAY DWELL
IN YOUR HOLY HILL?"
00:23:05.63\00:23:07.73
WHO'S GOING TO BE IN HEAVEN?
00:23:07.73\00:23:10.06
PSALM 15, THIS IS GOOD, YOU
SHOULD CIRCLE IT, "HE WHO WALKS
00:23:10.06\00:23:13.56
UPRIGHTLY."
00:23:13.56\00:23:14.80
HE'S A DOER.
00:23:14.80\00:23:15.70
"HE WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
SPEAKS THE TRUTH IN HIS HEART."
00:23:15.70\00:23:19.30
HE DOES WHAT'S JUST.
00:23:19.30\00:23:20.90
YOU NOTICE IN HIS HEART.
00:23:20.90\00:23:21.80
"HE DOES NOT
BACKBITE WITH HIS TONGUE."
00:23:21.80\00:23:25.23
HE'S NOT EVEN SPEAKING ILL OF
OTHERS BUT HE GUARDS--I LIKE THE
00:23:25.23\00:23:29.06
CHILDREN'S STORY, TALKING ABOUT
THE TONGUE AND HOW POWERFUL
00:23:29.06\00:23:33.36
THE TONGUE IS.
00:23:33.36\00:23:35.73
"NOR DOES EVIL TO HIS NEIGHBOR
NOR DOES HE TAKE UP REPROACH
00:23:35.73\00:23:39.40
AGAINST HIS FRIEND IN WHOSE EYES
A VILE PERSON IS DESPISED BUT HE
00:23:39.40\00:23:43.93
HONORS THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD."
00:23:43.93\00:23:46.60
HE SEEKS OUT THE
COMPANY OF THE JUST.
00:23:46.60\00:23:49.60
HE WANTS TO BE JUST AND HE
FINDS PLEASURE IN THE COMPANY OF
00:23:49.60\00:23:51.80
THE JUST.
00:23:51.80\00:23:52.56
HE DOESN'T LOOK
FOR BAD COMPANIONS.
00:23:52.56\00:23:56.46
"HE HONORS THOSE THAT FEAR THE
LORD, HE SWEARS THROUGH HIS OWN
00:23:56.46\00:23:59.73
HURT AND DOES NOT CHANGE."
00:23:59.73\00:24:01.96
HE'LL MAKE A PROMISE.
00:24:01.96\00:24:03.43
THEN AFTER HE MAKES A PROMISE,
HE'LL REALIZE, "HEY, I'M GOING
00:24:03.43\00:24:05.60
TO LOSE MONEY ON THIS
DEAL BUT I MADE A PROMISE.
00:24:05.60\00:24:07.60
I'VE GOT TO FOLLOW MY WORD."
00:24:07.60\00:24:09.40
AND HE STILL KEEPS HIS WORD.
00:24:09.40\00:24:13.50
HE FOLLOWS THROUGH.
00:24:13.50\00:24:16.06
"HE SWEARS THROUGH HIS
OWN HURT AND DOES NOT CHANGE.
00:24:16.06\00:24:18.46
HE DOES NOT PUT OUT
HIS MONEY TO USURY."
00:24:18.46\00:24:21.20
THAT MEANS HE
SHOWS MERCY ON OTHERS.
00:24:21.20\00:24:23.40
HE MIGHT LEND THEM, BUT HE'S NOT
GOING TO CHARGE THEM INTEREST.
00:24:23.40\00:24:26.56
HE HAS THE RIGHT TO
CHARGE INTEREST BUT HE DOESN'T.
00:24:26.56\00:24:31.86
THE BIBLE SAYS, "HE DOES
NOT TAKE A BRIBE AGAINST THE
00:24:31.86\00:24:33.90
INNOCENT."
00:24:33.90\00:24:35.00
HE DOES WHAT'S JUST REGARDLESS
OF WHAT'S IN IT FOR HIM.
00:24:35.00\00:24:39.36
"HE WHO DOES THESE THINGS,"
NOTICE IT'S NOT "WHO THINKS
00:24:39.36\00:24:43.60
THESE THINGS," IT'S NOT
"WHO BELIEVES THESE THINGS."
00:24:43.60\00:24:45.70
IT'S "HE WHO," WHAT?
00:24:45.70\00:24:47.00
"WHO DOES THESE THINGS."
00:24:47.00\00:24:50.93
"HE WHO DOES THESE
THINGS SHALL NEVER BE MOVED."
00:24:50.93\00:24:54.96
THAT MEANS THEY'RE
ON A GOOD FOUNDATION.
00:24:54.96\00:24:57.50
THEY'RE BUILDING ON THE ROCK.
