IF YOU ARE GOING TO ERR AND GO
TOO FAR ON THE SIDE OF JUSTICE
00:00:17.93\00:00:22.46

OF MERCY, WHICH SIDE WOULD

TODAY'S
PRESENTATION IS AN EXCERPT FROM
00:00:50.56\00:00:52.70
"THE EVERLASTING
GOSPEL" VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:52.70\00:00:56.06
>> DOING JUSTLY.
00:01:00.43\00:01:02.03
YOU KNOW, WHEN RAISING CHILDREN,
YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP THINGS
00:01:02.03\00:01:04.56
SIMPLE.
00:01:04.56\00:01:05.53
CHILDREN NEED SIMPLE RULES.
00:01:05.53\00:01:08.50
SOMETIMES, PARENTS AND I'VE
DONE THIS, KAREN'S DONE THIS,
00:01:08.50\00:01:12.36
WHERE THE CHILD WILL DO
SOMETHING WRONG AND THEN WE
00:01:12.36\00:01:15.46
BEGIN TO PONTIFICATE AND GIVE
THEM ALL THE REASONS THAT THEY
00:01:15.46\00:01:18.53
SHOULDN'T DO THIS.
00:01:18.53\00:01:19.53
AND PRETTY SOON, THEIR EYES
GLAZE OVER AND YOU'RE JUST--ALL
00:01:19.53\00:01:21.80
THEY DO IS THEY SEE MOM AND
DAD GOING...THEY DON'T HEAR WHAT
00:01:21.80\00:01:26.10
YOU'RE SAYING ANYMORE, RIGHT?
00:01:26.10\00:01:27.80
YOU'RE LAUGHING BECAUSE TWO
THINGS: ONE, YOU REMEMBER YOUR
00:01:27.80\00:01:30.13
PARENTS DOING THAT.
00:01:30.13\00:01:31.23
YOU'RE GETTING A TONGUE LASHING
AND YOU'LL HEAR THE FIRST FEW
00:01:31.23\00:01:34.03
WORDS AND PRETTY SOON
IT'S JUST...WITH NOISE.
00:01:34.03\00:01:38.60
AND ALSO, YOU'RE LAUGHING
BECAUSE YOU'VE DONE THAT TOO.
00:01:38.60\00:01:42.26
YOU BEGIN TO LECTURE 'EM.
00:01:42.26\00:01:43.06
PRETTY SOON, IT'S JUST, WHOO!
00:01:43.06\00:01:45.96
YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP IT SIMPLE.
00:01:45.96\00:01:47.70
AND YOU START
WHEN THEY'RE YOUNG.
00:01:47.70\00:01:50.06
AND I KNOW SOME PARENTS,
THEY HAD SOME VERY SIMPLE RULES
00:01:50.06\00:01:52.66
FOR THEIR KIDS.
00:01:52.66\00:01:54.10
YOU MIGHT TRY THIS.
00:01:54.10\00:01:57.03
DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT WILL
HURT SOMEONE, RULE NUMBER ONE.
00:01:57.03\00:02:01.60
DON'T DO ANYTHING--I SEE
SOME OF YOU WRITING THESE DOWN.
00:02:01.60\00:02:04.40
YOU OUGHT TO PUT
IT UP ON YOUR MIRROR.
00:02:04.40\00:02:06.10
IT'S GOOD FOR YOU TOO.
00:02:06.10\00:02:08.06
NOW, YOU'RE SOMEONE--THAT MEANS
DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT'LL HURT
00:02:08.06\00:02:10.83
YOURSELF TOO.
00:02:10.83\00:02:12.56
AND THIS IS RULE ONE, CATEGORY
A, DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HURT
00:02:12.56\00:02:17.70
SOMEONE.
00:02:17.70\00:02:19.23
THAT WOULD INCLUDE YOURSELF.
00:02:19.23\00:02:20.66
SO, YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK YOURSELF,
WILL THIS HURT SOMEONE?
00:02:20.66\00:02:23.86
RULE NUMBER TWO, DON'T
DO ANYTHING THAT WILL HURT
00:02:23.86\00:02:27.96
SOMETHING.
00:02:27.96\00:02:29.66
IF IT'S GOING TO DAMAGE
SOMETHING OR BREAK SOMETHING
00:02:29.66\00:02:35.63
OR WEAR SOMETHING OUT,
YOU'RE HURTING SOMETHING.
00:02:35.63\00:02:38.40
DON'T DO IT.
00:02:38.40\00:02:40.53
NOW, YOU MIGHT THINK COLORING
ON THE WALLS IS AN IMPROVEMENT.
00:02:40.53\00:02:44.70
BUT, YOU KNOW, YOUR PARENTS
THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY HURTING
00:02:44.70\00:02:47.73
THE WALLS.
00:02:47.73\00:02:49.70
NUMBER THREE, DON'T DO
ANYTHING THAT'LL HURT JESUS.
00:02:49.70\00:02:53.66
NOW, I BET YOU CAN'T NAME
SOME OFFENSE THAT WILL NOT FALL
00:02:53.66\00:02:57.36
SOMEWHERE IN
THESE THREE CATEGORIES.
00:02:57.36\00:03:00.76
VERY SIMPLE RULES, DO
WHAT'S JUST, IN OTHER WORDS.
00:03:00.76\00:03:04.83
DON'T DO ANYTHING
THAT'S GOING TO HURT SOMEBODY.
00:03:04.83\00:03:07.00
DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT'S GOING
TO HURT SOMETHING AND DON'T DO
00:03:07.00\00:03:10.06
ANYTHING THAT WILL HURT GOD.
00:03:10.06\00:03:12.40
SIMPLE RULES.
00:03:12.40\00:03:14.50
ALL RIGHT SO, NOW
WE'RE GETTING TO POINT TWO.
00:03:14.50\00:03:18.63
REMEMBER THERE'S--HE'S
SHOWN YOU WHAT IS GOOD.
00:03:18.63\00:03:20.96
WHAT DOES THE
LORD REQUIRE OF YOU?
00:03:20.96\00:03:22.86
HE'S GOT THREE THINGS HE
MENTIONS THAT HE REQUIRES OF
00:03:22.86\00:03:24.60
YOU.
00:03:24.60\00:03:25.36
ONE IS WHAT?
00:03:25.36\00:03:26.76
DO JUSTLY.
00:03:26.76\00:03:28.30
WHAT'S NUMBER ONE?
00:03:28.30\00:03:29.23
DO WHAT'S JUST.
00:03:29.23\00:03:31.30
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
00:03:31.30\00:03:33.20
YOUR SPIRIT'S GOING TO TELL
YOU WHEN YOU'VE STOPPED DOING
00:03:33.20\00:03:36.00
WHAT'S JUST.
00:03:36.00\00:03:37.20
OR IF IT'S A GREY AREA, IT'S
LIKE THE OLD SCOTSMAN THAT WAS
00:03:37.20\00:03:40.83
GETTING READY TO GET
DRESSED IN THE MORNING.
00:03:40.83\00:03:43.20
HE WAS HOLDING UP YESTERDAY'S
SHIRT BY THE WINDOW AND
00:03:43.20\00:03:45.66
SNIFFING IT.
00:03:45.66\00:03:47.03
AND HIS WIFE CALLED OVER
HER SHOULDER, "IF IT'S DOUBTFUL,
00:03:47.03\00:03:49.73
IT'S DIRTY."
00:03:49.73\00:03:52.56
IF IT'S DOUBTFUL, IT'S DIRTY.
00:03:52.56\00:03:55.10
AND SO WHEN SOMETHING'S
DOUBTFUL, IT'S PROBABLY DIRTY.
00:03:55.10\00:03:58.80
WHEN IN DOUBT,
THROW IT IN THE LAUNDRY.
00:03:58.80\00:04:03.86
OH, WAIT A SECOND, I'VE GOT TO
MAKE A CORRECTION HERE FOR KIDS
00:04:03.86\00:04:06.43
THAT ARE LISTENING.
00:04:06.43\00:04:07.63
A LOT OF KIDS THROW CLEAN
CLOTHES IN THE LAUNDRY BECAUSE
00:04:07.63\00:04:09.33
THEY'RE TOO LAZY TO
PUT 'EM AWAY, RIGHT?
00:04:09.33\00:04:12.10
YEAH SO, THAT'S
NOT AN EXCUSE FOR THAT.
00:04:12.10\00:04:15.63
SO POINT NUMBER TWO,
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT DO JUSTLY,
00:04:15.63\00:04:18.56
LOVE MERCY.
00:04:18.56\00:04:22.86
NOW, I COULD BREAK THOSE
TWO APART AND JUST SAY LOVE.
00:04:22.86\00:04:27.93
WE COULD SPEND A LOT OF
TIME TALKING JUST ABOUT LOVE.
00:04:27.93\00:04:31.76
IN THIS GREAT
VERSE, YOU'VE GOT LOVE.
00:04:31.76\00:04:35.56
BUT YOU NOTICE,
IT'S SAYING LOVE MERCY.
00:04:35.56\00:04:40.03
DOING JUSTLY, CATCH
THIS, THIS IS A GREAT VERSE.
00:04:40.03\00:04:45.13
DOING JUSTLY IS
WHAT I DO TO OTHERS.
00:04:45.13\00:04:48.60
SHOWING MERCY--NO, I'M
SAYING DOING JUSTLY IS WHAT I DO
00:04:48.60\00:04:52.50
WITH MYSELF.
00:04:52.50\00:04:53.10
I GOT THAT BACKWARDS.
00:04:53.10\00:04:53.96
DOING JUSTLY IS MY CHOICE ABOUT
HOW I'M GOING TO CONDUCT MYSELF.
00:04:53.96\00:05:00.76
LOVING MERCY, I DON'T
SHOW MERCY TO MYSELF, DO I?
00:05:00.76\00:05:05.83
I'VE DECIDED TO BE
MERCIFUL TODAY TO MYSELF.
00:05:05.83\00:05:09.86
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU SHOW MERCY.
00:05:09.86\00:05:11.86
YOU'RE NOT REALLY
BEING VERY MERCIFUL.
00:05:11.86\00:05:13.43
MERCY IS DONE WHERE?
00:05:13.43\00:05:15.66
THAT WAY.
00:05:15.66\00:05:17.30
IT'S DONE TO OTHERS.
00:05:17.30\00:05:18.50
AND SO WHEN YOU LOVE MERCY,
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOVE TO
00:05:18.50\00:05:21.43
LOVE MERCY?
00:05:21.43\00:05:22.93
YOU'VE GOT TO LOVE OTHERS.
00:05:22.93\00:05:24.66
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:05:24.66\00:05:26.76
YOU STILL WITH ME?
00:05:26.76\00:05:27.96
SO, THE FIRST PART OF DOING
JUSTLY IS HOW I WILL CONDUCT
00:05:27.96\00:05:30.36
MYSELF.
00:05:30.36\00:05:31.53
LOVING MERCY IS HOW
I'M GOING TO TREAT OTHERS.
00:05:31.53\00:05:34.33
AND IT GOES BEYOND TREATING THEM
WITH JUSTICE BECAUSE WHEN YOU
00:05:34.33\00:05:39.60
GIVE SOMEBODY MERCY,
THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM JUSTICE.
00:05:39.60\00:05:43.33
YOU'RE GIVING THEM SOMETHING
THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE YOUR GOING
00:05:43.33\00:05:45.53
BEYOND THE REQUIREMENT
ON THE SIDE OF KINDNESS.
00:05:45.53\00:05:50.60
THAT'S ONE OF THE BOTTOM LINES
IN THE CREED OF A CHRISTIAN.
00:05:50.60\00:05:54.43
DON'T JUST DO
WHAT THE OBLIGATION IS.
00:05:54.43\00:05:57.40
GO BEYOND THE
OBLIGATION AND DO WHAT'S KIND.
00:05:57.40\00:06:00.23
DO WHAT'S MERCIFUL.
00:06:00.23\00:06:01.76
A MOTHER CAME TO NAPOLEON ONE
TIME, PLEADING FOR HER SON WHO
00:06:01.76\00:06:05.36
HAD SHOWN HIMSELF A COWARD
ON THE BATTLEFIELD TWICE AND
00:06:05.36\00:06:10.10
THE PENALTY WAS DEATH.
00:06:10.10\00:06:13.46
AND SHE SAID, "YOUR MAJESTY
PLEASE, SHOW MERCY TO MY SON."
00:06:13.46\00:06:19.30
HE SAID, "I CAN'T BECAUSE
JUSTICE REQUIRES THAT HE DIES
00:06:19.30\00:06:23.83
FOR THIS OFFENSE."
00:06:23.83\00:06:25.73
SHE SAYS, "I'M NOT
ASKING FOR JUSTICE.
00:06:25.73\00:06:27.56
I'M ASKING FOR MERCY."
00:06:27.56\00:06:29.16
HE SAID, "HE
DOESN'T DESERVE MERCY."
00:06:29.16\00:06:31.70
SHE SAID, "IF HE DESERVED
IT, IT WOULDN'T BE A MERCY.
00:06:31.70\00:06:34.10
MERCY IS SOMETHING YOU GIVE TO
SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T DESERVE IT."
00:06:34.10\00:06:38.30
MOTHERS BECOME VERY ELOQUENT
WHEN THEY'RE PLEADING FOR THEIR
00:06:38.30\00:06:40.40
CHILDREN.
00:06:40.40\00:06:41.86
HE SAID, "OKAY, YOU WIN.
00:06:41.86\00:06:44.76
I'LL SHOW HIM
MERCY AND LET HIM LIVE."
00:06:44.76\00:06:47.16
IF IT WASN'T--IF IT WAS JUSTICE
THAT WE WANT OR IF WE DESERVED
00:06:47.16\00:06:52.63
IT, IT WOULDN'T BE MERCY, RIGHT?
00:06:52.63\00:06:54.36
WHAT DO WE WANT FROM THE LORD?
00:06:54.36\00:06:55.40
YOU WANT JUSTICE FROM LORD?
00:06:55.40\00:06:57.06
OH NO.
00:06:57.06\00:07:01.26
PEOPLE ASK ME PERIODICALLY,
"PASTOR DOUG, HOW IS LIFE
00:07:01.26\00:07:03.73
TREATING YOU?"
00:07:03.73\00:07:04.76
I SAID, "MUCH
BETTER THAN I DESERVE."
00:07:04.76\00:07:08.20
I DON'T WANT WHAT I DESERVE.
00:07:08.20\00:07:10.76
AND IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW IT,
YOU DON'T WANT WHAT I DESERVE.
00:07:10.76\00:07:15.33
YOU DON'T EVEN WANT WHAT YOU
DESERVE, EVEN IF YOU THINK WHAT
00:07:15.33\00:07:18.03
YOU DESERVE IS
BETTER THAN WHAT I DESERVE.
00:07:18.03\00:07:20.50
YOU DON'T WANT WHAT YOU DESERVE.
00:07:20.50\00:07:22.60
WHAT WE WANT IS MERCY.
00:07:22.60\00:07:24.76
NOW IF WE WANT MERCY, THEN WHAT
SHOULD WE BE WILLING TO GIVE?
00:07:24.76\00:07:31.33
LIKE THAT MAN WHO--THE
UNMERCIFUL DEBTOR, HE'S ASKING
00:07:31.33\00:07:35.20
THE KING TO FORGIVE HIM
THIS TEN THOUSANDS TALENTS
00:07:35.20\00:07:37.80
THAT HE'S SQUANDERED.
00:07:37.80\00:07:39.46
THE KING SHOWS MERCY
TO HIM, FORGIVES HIM.
00:07:39.46\00:07:42.66
HE GOES OUT AND FINDS A FELLOW
SERVANT THAT OWES HIM 42 PENCE.
00:07:42.66\00:07:48.26
IT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN 52 MILLION DOLLARS
00:07:48.26\00:07:50.76
AND 42 DOLLARS.
00:07:50.76\00:07:53.03
HE ACCEPTS THE MERCY FOR THE
52 MILLION DOLLARS, BUT HE WON'T
00:07:53.03\00:07:56.76
PASS ON THE MERCY FOR THE 42.
00:07:56.76\00:08:00.40
PART OF OUR CHRISTIAN CREED
IS THAT WE SHOW MERCY TO OTHERS.
00:08:00.40\00:08:09.83
I WENT TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL
PHOTO TAKEN AND AFTER I GOT DONE
00:08:09.83\00:08:14.23
LOOKING AT THE PICTURE, YOU KNOW
PERIODICALLY IN "AMAZING FACTS,"
00:08:14.23\00:08:16.56
I'VE GOT TO GO GET A
SERIES OF PICTURES TAKEN.
00:08:16.56\00:08:18.96
FOR A WHILE THERE, I WAS SHOWING
PICTURES THAT WERE SO OLD,
00:08:18.96\00:08:21.00
I STILL HAD HAIR.
00:08:21.00\00:08:23.03
AND PEOPLE SAID TO ME, "YOU
KNOW, DOUG, THAT'S NOT HONEST.
00:08:23.03\00:08:24.83
YOU NEED TO GO GET
SOME UPDATED PICTURES."
00:08:24.83\00:08:26.53
SO, YOU GO AND YOU SIT
IN FOR A PHOTO SECTION.
00:08:26.53\00:08:28.50
I REMEMBER LOOKING ONE TIME
AT THE PICTURE AND SAYING, "YOU
00:08:28.50\00:08:31.60
KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF
THIS REALLY DOES ME JUSTICE."
00:08:31.60\00:08:34.56
HE SAID, "DOUG,
YOU DON'T WANT JUSTICE.
00:08:34.56\00:08:36.30
YOU WANT MERCY."
00:08:36.30\00:08:37.83
[LAUGHING]
00:08:37.83\00:08:43.40
ACTUALLY, I THINK HE
SAID, "WITH A FACE LIKE YOURS,
00:08:48.90\00:08:50.80
YOU DON'T WANT JUSTICE.
00:08:50.80\00:08:51.83
YOU WANT MERCY."
00:08:51.83\00:08:54.46
HE WAS A FRIEND.
00:08:54.46\00:08:58.40
THEY WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU.
00:08:58.40\00:09:01.86
"BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL
FOR THEY WILL OBTAIN MERCY."
00:09:01.86\00:09:06.00
MATTHEW 9:13, JESUS SAID,
"BUT GO OUT AND LEARN WHAT THIS
00:09:06.00\00:09:10.13
MEANS, 'I DESIRE
MERCY AND NOT SACRIFICE.
00:09:10.13\00:09:15.60
FOR I DID NOT COME TO CALL
THE RIGHTEOUS TO REPENTANCE,
00:09:15.60\00:09:18.53
BUT SINNERS.'" WHAT
DOES GOD WANT FROM US?
00:09:18.53\00:09:24.40
MERCY.
00:09:24.40\00:09:25.36
A MATTER OF FACT, IF
YOU'RE GOING TO ERR IN YOUR
00:09:25.36\00:09:28.50
RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR FRIENDS
AND YOUR FAMILY OR OTHERS THAT
00:09:28.50\00:09:32.06
YOU MAY WORK WITH, IF YOU ARE
GOING TO ERR AND GO TOO FAR ON
00:09:32.06\00:09:36.13
THE SIDE OF JUSTICE OR TOO FAR
ON THE SIDE OF MERCY, WHICH SIDE
00:09:36.13\00:09:40.23
WOULD GOD
PREFER THAT YOU ERR ON?
00:09:40.23\00:09:44.20
I THINK HE WOULD PREFER THAT YOU
GO A LITTLE TOO FAR ON THE SIDE
00:09:44.20\00:09:47.53
OF MERCY.
00:09:47.53\00:09:49.03
YOU KNOW ONE
REASON I BELIEVE THAT?
00:09:49.03\00:09:51.36
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THE STORY
OF KING DAVID, THAT MAN AFTER
00:09:51.36\00:09:54.70
GOD'S OWN HEART?
00:09:54.70\00:09:56.40
GOD HAD TOLD DAVID,
"YOU'RE TO BE KING."
00:09:56.40\00:09:58.63
HE HAD BEEN ANOINTED AS KING.
00:09:58.63\00:10:00.06
HE HAD DONE
NOTHING WRONG TO SAUL.
00:10:00.06\00:10:02.20
SAUL WAS JUST DEMON POSSESSED
AND OUT OF HIS MIND AND HE WAS
00:10:02.20\00:10:05.00
HUNTING DOWN DAVID TO KILL HIM.
00:10:05.00\00:10:07.00
PROVIDENTIALLY, GOD PUT SAUL IN
DAVID'S HANDS AT LEAST TWO TIMES
00:10:07.00\00:10:13.26
WHERE DAVID COULD KILL HIM.
00:10:13.26\00:10:15.03
AND ALL THE SOLDIERS AROUND HIM
SAID, "THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ACT
00:10:15.03\00:10:17.83
OF GOD.
00:10:17.83\00:10:18.76
NOW YOU CAN HAVE JUSTICE FOR
WHAT HE'S DONE TO YOU, CHASING
00:10:18.76\00:10:21.46
YOU OUT OF YOUR LAND AND--"
AND YOU KNOW WHAT DAVID SAID?
00:10:21.46\00:10:26.16
"NO, IF HE'S THE KING AND GOD'S
CHOSEN HIM AS KING AND I'M GOING
00:10:26.16\00:10:32.10
TO LET GOD TAKE HIM OUT, I'M
NOT GOING TO ASSUME THAT ROLE OF
00:10:32.10\00:10:34.96
BEING VENGEFUL.
00:10:34.96\00:10:37.83
VENGEANCE BELONGS TO THE LORD.
00:10:37.83\00:10:39.66
HE'LL EITHER GET OLD AND
DIE OR HE'LL FALL IN BATTLE
00:10:39.66\00:10:42.43
OR HE'LL GET SICK.
00:10:42.43\00:10:43.66
BUT MY HAND WILL
NOT BE AGAINST HIM.
00:10:43.66\00:10:46.10
I'M GOING TO SHOW HIM MERCY."
00:10:46.10\00:10:47.56
NOW, I'M PARAPHRASING.
00:10:47.56\00:10:49.03
AND YOU KNOW, GOD
LOVED WHAT DAVID DID.
00:10:49.03\00:10:53.03
'CAUSE GOD COULD TAKE
SAUL OUT ANY TIME HE WANTED.
00:10:53.03\00:10:55.76
DAVID SAID, "LOOK, I'M GOING
TO TRY FIRST TO WIN SAUL THROUGH
00:10:55.76\00:10:58.40
MERCY."
00:10:58.40\00:11:00.06
AND AFTER DAVID HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO KILL SAUL, TWICE
00:11:00.06\00:11:03.00
THIS HAPPENED, HE THEN SHOUTED
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND SAID,
00:11:03.00\00:11:05.66
"KING SAUL, MY LORD THE KING,"
HUMBLED HIMSELF BEFORE THE KING
00:11:05.66\00:11:09.13
AND SAID, "HERE, I'VE
GOT A PIECE OF YOUR ROBE.
00:11:09.13\00:11:11.50
I'VE GOT YOUR SPEAR
THAT WAS AT YOUR SIDE.
00:11:11.50\00:11:13.40
I HAD A CHANCE TO KILL YOU.
00:11:13.40\00:11:14.53
I WANT YOU TO KNOW I
HAD A CHANCE TO KILL YOU,
00:11:14.53\00:11:16.20
BUT I'VE SHOWN YOU MERCY.
00:11:16.20\00:11:17.26
I HOPE YOU'LL HAVE MERCY ON ME.
00:11:17.26\00:11:18.66
WILL YOU STOP CHASING ME DOWN?"
00:11:18.66\00:11:20.83
AND GOD LOVED DAVID
BECAUSE HE DID THAT.
00:11:20.83\00:11:25.43
I THINK GOD WOULD'VE UNDERSTOOD
IF DAVID HAD KILLED SAUL
00:11:25.43\00:11:28.63
IN SELF-DEFENSE,
"HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME."
00:11:28.63\00:11:31.60
BUT HE DIDN'T
TAKE THAT APPROACH.
00:11:31.60\00:11:33.40
HE ERRED ON THE SIDE OF MERCY.
00:11:33.40\00:11:36.06
DID DAVID END UP
GETTING THE THRONE?
00:11:36.06\00:11:38.70
DAVID DIDN'T NEED TO KILL SAUL.
00:11:38.70\00:11:40.03
HE KILLED HIMSELF.
00:11:40.03\00:11:41.63
SAUL KILLED HIMSELF.
00:11:41.63\00:11:43.26
SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE
A MISTAKE, SOMETIMES YOU SAY,
00:11:43.26\00:11:47.00
"LOOK, BOY, I BENT OVER
BACKWARDS TO HELP THAT PERSON.
00:11:47.00\00:11:49.40
I'VE GONE THE SECOND MILE.
00:11:49.40\00:11:51.46
I'M NOT GOING ANY FURTHER."
00:11:51.46\00:11:53.46
WELL, YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO
BE--GOD WILL NOT BE ANGRY AT YOU
00:11:53.46\00:11:58.66
IF YOU GO JUST A
LITTLE FURTHER, WILL HE?
00:11:58.66\00:12:02.06
IF YOU ERR ON THE SIDE OF MERCY,
FORGIVING HIM A LITTLE MORE,
00:12:02.06\00:12:06.10
BEING PATIENT A LITTLE MORE, HOW
OFTEN DID JESUS SAY TO PETER,
00:12:06.10\00:12:10.26
"YOU SHOULD FORGIVE"?
00:12:10.26\00:12:12.20
SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN, WHICH
IS SORT OF THE HEBREW EQUIVALENT
00:12:12.20\00:12:15.13
OF SEVEN WAS THE CYCLE OF TIME.
00:12:15.13\00:12:18.00
IT WAS A CIRCLE.
00:12:18.00\00:12:19.53
AND 70 TIMES 7 WHICH IS SAYING
GOD'S MERCY ENDURES FOREVER AND
00:12:19.53\00:12:26.63
JUST GO AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO.
00:12:26.63\00:12:29.90
LOVE MERCY.
00:12:29.90\00:12:31.56
DON'T JUST
TOLERATE IT BUT LIVE IT OUT.
00:12:31.56\00:12:36.50
2 SAMUEL 22, "WITH THE MERCIFUL,
YOU WILL SHOW YOURSELF MERCIFUL.
00:12:36.50\00:12:44.00
WITH THE BLAMELESS MAN, YOU
WILL SHOW YOURSELF BLAMELESS."
00:12:44.00\00:12:47.20
IF YOU EVER WANT TO REALLY
APPRECIATE GOD'S MERCY, THEN LET
00:12:47.20\00:12:50.60
HIM PASS IT ON
THROUGH YOU TO SOMEONE ELSE.
00:12:50.60\00:12:54.90
BE MERCIFUL TO OTHERS AND YOU'LL
NEVER BETTER UNDERSTAND GOD'S
00:12:54.90\00:12:57.76
MERCY FOR YOU.
00:12:57.76\00:12:59.23
TO THE MERCIFUL, HE
SHOWS HIMSELF MERCY.
00:12:59.23\00:13:02.16
BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL,
THEY WILL OBTAIN MERCY.
00:13:02.16\00:13:06.00
MATTHEW 23:23, I THINK THIS IS
A REFERENCE THAT JESUS IS MAKING
00:13:06.00\00:13:11.10
TO MICAH, TO OUR VERSE.
00:13:11.10\00:13:13.86
THIS IS ONE OF THE EXAMPLES
WHERE I THINK JESUS IS MAKING A
00:13:13.86\00:13:16.03
REFERENCE TO THIS OLD TESTAMENT
PASSAGE, "WOE TO YOU, SCRIBES
00:13:16.03\00:13:20.70
AND PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES!
00:13:20.70\00:13:22.80
FOR YOU PAY TITHE OF YOUR
MINT AND YOUR ANISE AND CUMMIN,
00:13:22.80\00:13:26.16
BUT YOU'VE NEGLECTED
THE WEIGHTIER MATTERS."
00:13:26.16\00:13:29.13
CAN I TRANSLATE
"WEIGHTIER MATTERS"?
00:13:29.13\00:13:31.00
YOU'RE NOT KEEPING THE
MAIN THING THE MAIN THING.
00:13:31.00\00:13:33.83
IT'S GOOD TO PAY TITHE, AND IT'S
WONDERFUL YOU'RE PAYING TITHE
00:13:33.83\00:13:35.93
ON YOUR HERB GARDEN.
00:13:35.93\00:13:37.40
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
00:13:37.40\00:13:39.76
I THINK YOU COULD PROBABLY TAKE
CARE OF YOUR WHOLE HERB GARDEN.
00:13:39.76\00:13:41.66
JUST PUT ONE PUMPKIN IN
THE PLATE WHEN IT GOES BY.
00:13:41.66\00:13:44.13
SAY HOPEFULLY
THAT'LL COVER ALL THE HERBS.
00:13:44.13\00:13:46.40
I'M NOT COUNTING OUT MY PARSLEY
AND CHIVES; "ROSEMARY, PARSLEY
00:13:46.40\00:13:52.13
AND THYME," TO
QUOTE SIMON AND GARFUNKEL.
00:13:52.13\00:13:56.96
I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
THAT WAS SORT OF EXTREME.
00:13:56.96\00:13:59.50
BUT HE'S NOT CONDEMNING THEM FOR
BEING PRECISE IN THEIR TITHE.
00:13:59.50\00:14:02.03
BUT HE SAID, "YOU'RE FORGETTING
THE WEIGHTIER MATTERS."
00:14:02.03\00:14:04.76
AND NOTICE WHAT JESUS SAID,
"JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH."
00:14:04.76\00:14:10.90
THE FIRST TWO ARE THE VERY
SAME TWO THAT YOU FIND IN MICAH:
00:14:10.90\00:14:14.20
DO JUSTLY, LOVE MERCY.
00:14:14.20\00:14:16.86
AND FAITH?
00:14:16.86\00:14:18.16
THAT MEANS FAITH IN GOD.
00:14:18.16\00:14:19.60
THAT WOULD BE THE LAST ONE.
00:14:19.60\00:14:21.03
SO, I THINK CHRIST
IS QUOTING THAT THERE.
00:14:21.03\00:14:24.43
AND THEN WE GO TO POINT THREE.
00:14:24.43\00:14:26.06
FIRST OF ALL, DO JUSTLY.
00:14:26.06\00:14:28.10
LOVE AND LOVE MERCY,
LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:14:28.10\00:14:33.50
AND THEN FINALLY,
WALKING HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD.
00:14:33.50\00:14:37.36
NOW, I'M GOING TO BEAR THIS
OUT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THERE'S
00:14:37.36\00:14:38.96
A LOT THERE.
00:14:38.96\00:14:40.63
FIRST OF ALL, WALKING WITH
GOD, NOT EVEN TALKING YET ABOUT
00:14:40.63\00:14:45.16
WALKING HUMBLY.
00:14:45.16\00:14:46.13
JUST WALKING WITH GOD.
00:14:46.13\00:14:48.03
YOUR WALK REPRESENTS THE
DIRECTION OF YOUR LIFE AND IT
00:14:48.03\00:14:51.63
REPRESENTS HOW YOU USE
YOUR TIME FROM DAY TO DAY.
00:14:51.63\00:14:54.46
THAT'S YOUR WALK.
00:14:54.46\00:14:55.53
IF YOU LAY IN BED ALL
DAY LONG, THAT'S YOUR WALK.
00:14:55.53\00:14:59.00
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WALK TO HAVE A WALK.
00:14:59.00\00:15:00.50
EVERYBODY'S GOT A WALK.
00:15:00.50\00:15:02.03
YOUR WALK IS HOW
YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE.
00:15:02.03\00:15:05.43
IT'S AN ALLEGORY OR
A METAPHOR FOR THAT.
00:15:05.43\00:15:10.70
I WANT TO WALK
LIKE ENOCH WALKED.
00:15:10.70\00:15:13.56
HOW DID ENOCH WALK?
00:15:13.56\00:15:15.76
WELL, IT SAYS IN
GENESIS CHAPTER 5,
00:15:15.76\00:15:17.70
"ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD: AND
HE WAS NOT; FOR GOD TOOK HIM."
00:15:17.70\00:15:21.43
AND IT'S LIKE IT TELLS US THE
144,000; THEY FOLLOW THE LAMB
00:15:21.43\00:15:25.16
WHEREVER HE GOES.
00:15:25.16\00:15:26.93
ARE THEY IN THE KINGDOM?
00:15:26.93\00:15:28.86
YEAH.
00:15:28.86\00:15:30.60
WELL, I'M TAKING ABOUT
REVELATION PLACES THEM THERE,
00:15:30.60\00:15:32.83
RIGHT?
00:15:32.83\00:15:34.00
SO, THEY'RE GOING TO BE SAVED.
00:15:34.00\00:15:35.63
AND THE 12 APOSTLES, THE ONES
WHO WALKED WITH JESUS, THEY'RE
00:15:35.63\00:15:40.46
THE ONES WHO ARE GOING
TO BE AMONG THE REDEEMED.
00:15:40.46\00:15:45.23
ULTIMATELY, THEIR
NAMES ARE GOING TO BE ON
00:15:45.23\00:15:47.43
THE 12 FOUNDATIONS
IN THE NEW JERUSALEM.
00:15:47.43\00:15:51.96
SO, DO YOU WALK WITH HIM HERE?
00:15:51.96\00:15:54.76
THE BIBLE SAYS
NOAH WALKED WITH GOD.
00:15:54.76\00:15:57.33
HE WAS JUST MAN.
00:15:57.33\00:15:58.70
GENESIS 6:9, "NOAH WAS A JUST
MAN, PERFECT IN HIS GENERATIONS,
00:15:58.70\00:16:02.83
AND HE WALKED WITH GOD."
00:16:02.83\00:16:05.06
"BLESSED IS THE MAN,"
PSALMS 1, YOUR FIRST PSALM.
00:16:05.06\00:16:09.33
PSALM 1:1, "BLESSED IS THE MAN
WHO WALKS NOT IN THE COUNSEL OF
00:16:09.33\00:16:14.33
THE UNGODLY."
00:16:14.33\00:16:15.70
WHAT DOES WALKING WITH GOD MEAN?
00:16:15.70\00:16:16.63
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT IT DOESN'T MEAN.
00:16:16.63\00:16:19.33
YOU DON'T WALK WITH THE UNGODLY.
00:16:19.33\00:16:22.60
"NOR STANDS IN THE PATH OF
SINNERS, NOR SITS IN THE SEAT OF
00:16:22.60\00:16:26.56
THE SCORNFUL.
00:16:26.56\00:16:27.56
BUT HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW
OF THE LORD; AND IN HIS LAW HE
00:16:27.56\00:16:30.56
MEDITATES DAY AND NIGHT."
00:16:30.56\00:16:32.16
SO, WHAT DOES IT--WHAT
DOES IT MEAN TO WALK WITH GOD?
00:16:32.16\00:16:35.06
CAN TWO PEOPLE GO IN THE SAME
DESTINATION IF THEY'RE--CAN THEY
00:16:35.06\00:16:39.23
WALK TOGETHER IF THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO THE SAME DESTINATION?
00:16:39.23\00:16:43.46
DOES GOD KEEP HIS OWN LAW?
00:16:43.46\00:16:46.13
SO IF YOU'RE WALKING WITH JESUS
AND IT SAYS, "ALL OF MY FATHER'S
00:16:46.13\00:16:49.50
COMMANDMENTS I HAVE KEPT," THAT
MEANS YOU'RE FOLLOWING THE LORD.
00:16:49.50\00:16:55.76
AMOS 3:3, "CAN TWO WALK
TOGETHER, EXCEPT THEY BE
00:16:55.76\00:16:59.90
AGREED?"
00:16:59.90\00:17:01.76
SO, THIS PERSON WHO'S KEEPING
THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING.
00:17:01.76\00:17:05.70
HE WALKS WITH GOD.
00:17:05.70\00:17:07.60
HE FINDS OUT,
"LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
00:17:07.60\00:17:09.53
WHAT'S YOUR WILL AND
THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO."
00:17:09.53\00:17:11.76
I'VE KIND OF SUMMARIZED
THIS IN FIVE OR SIX POINTS.
00:17:11.76\00:17:16.06
TO WALK WITH GOD, FIRST OF ALL,
YOU'VE GOT TO BE GOING THE SAME
00:17:16.06\00:17:19.33
DIRECTION.
00:17:19.33\00:17:21.40
IF YOU'RE NOT GOING IN THE SAME
DIRECTION, YOU MIGHT WALK WITH
00:17:21.40\00:17:23.36
HIM A LITTLE WAYS.
00:17:23.36\00:17:24.50
IF YOU'RE 45 DEGREES OFF, YOU'RE
GOING TO KEEP GETTING FURTHER
00:17:24.50\00:17:27.16
AND FURTHER APART.
00:17:27.16\00:17:28.13
BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO THE SAME
POINT ON THE HORIZON, YOU'RE
00:17:28.13\00:17:30.23
GOING TO STAY TOGETHER, RIGHT?
00:17:30.23\00:17:32.80
SO, YOU'VE GOT TO BE GOING
TO THE SAME PLACE, IN THE SAME
00:17:32.80\00:17:35.26
DIRECTION.
00:17:35.26\00:17:36.70
B, YOU NEED TO BE
GOING THE SAME PACE.
00:17:36.70\00:17:41.16
WHEN YOU'RE WALKING WITH GOD,
HE'S GOT A SPEED AT WHICH HE'S
00:17:41.16\00:17:44.43
GOING TO LEAD YOU.
00:17:44.43\00:17:47.26
IF YOU RUN AHEAD,
YOU'RE NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE.
00:17:47.26\00:17:50.10
IF YOU LAG BEHIND,
YOU'RE NOT TOGETHER.
00:17:50.10\00:17:52.70
YOU MAY BE GOING IN THE
SAME DIRECTION AND STILL NOT BE
00:17:52.70\00:17:54.63
WALKING TOGETHER BECAUSE, WELL
ONE'S A MILE AHEAD OF THE OTHER.
00:17:54.63\00:17:58.26
YOU CAN'T REALLY SAY YOU'RE
WALKING TOGETHER ANYMORE, CAN
00:17:58.26\00:18:00.43
YOU?
00:18:00.43\00:18:01.53
SO, YOU NOT ONLY NEED TO
BE GOING THE SAME DIRECTION.
00:18:01.53\00:18:03.40
YOU NEED TO BE
GOING THE SAME PACE.
00:18:03.40\00:18:05.43
YOU NEED TO BE GOING
TO THE SAME DESTINATION.
00:18:05.43\00:18:10.50
YOU NEED TO BE GOING
WITH THE SAME PURPOSE.
00:18:10.50\00:18:14.30
WHY ARE YOU GOING?
00:18:14.30\00:18:16.36
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT
00:18:16.36\00:18:18.46
TO GO TO HEAVEN AND THEY'RE
WALKING WITH GOD WITH DIFFERENT
00:18:18.46\00:18:21.46
MOTIVES THAN JESUS HAS?
00:18:21.46\00:18:24.70
SHOULDN'T WE HAVE THE SAME
MOTIVE FOR WALKING WITH GOD THAT
00:18:24.70\00:18:27.76
GOD HAS FOR WALKING WITH US?
00:18:27.76\00:18:32.20
HAVE YOU SEEN PEOPLE GET MARRIED
BEFORE AND THEY'VE GOT DIFFERENT
00:18:32.20\00:18:36.86
ULTERIOR MOTIVES
FOR THE MARRIAGE?
00:18:36.86\00:18:40.10
IF THEIR MARRIAGES ARE, "I LOVE
THIS PERSON, I WANT TO MAKE THIS
00:18:40.10\00:18:43.23
PERSON HAPPY."
00:18:43.23\00:18:44.96
AND THEY BOTH HAVE THAT
ONE GOAL, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE
00:18:44.96\00:18:47.36
A HAPPY MARRIAGE.
00:18:47.36\00:18:49.00
IF THERE ARE ULTERIOR MOTIVES
OTHER THAN THAT, IF THEIR
00:18:49.00\00:18:52.50
PURPOSE IS NOT THE
SAME, YOU'VE GOT PROBLEMS.
00:18:52.50\00:18:57.06
IN YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD,
IF YOU'RE DOING IT BECAUSE OF
00:18:57.06\00:18:59.26
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU,
THAT'S NOT GOD'S MOTIVE.
00:18:59.26\00:19:03.76
LOVE MUST BE THE MOTIVE FOR
OTHERS, A LOVE THAT GOES OUT.
00:19:03.76\00:19:09.80
SO, YOU'VE GOT TO DO
IT WITH THE SAME PURPOSE.
00:19:09.80\00:19:12.23
AND FINALLY, YOU'VE GOT TO BE
DOING IT UNDER THE SAME POWER,
00:19:12.23\00:19:15.40
THE POWER OF GOD'S SPIRIT.
00:19:15.40\00:19:17.13
THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE
THE DRIVING DYNAMO OF THE LORD.
00:19:17.13\00:19:20.93
IT MUST BE THE SAME POWER THAT
DRIVES YOU, SAME DIRECTION, SAME
00:19:20.93\00:19:24.90
PACE, SAME DESTINATION,
SAME PURPOSE AND THE SAME POWER.
00:19:24.90\00:19:28.40
THAT'S HOW YOU DETERMINE IF
YOU'RE WALKING WITH SOMEBODY.
00:19:28.40\00:19:31.36
NOW, IT DOESN'T
JUST SAY WALK WITH GOD.
00:19:31.36\00:19:33.83
IT TELLS US HOW
TO WALK WITH HIM.
00:19:33.83\00:19:35.73
WALK HUMBLY WITH THY GOD.
00:19:35.73\00:19:39.16
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN?
00:19:39.16\00:19:40.90
IN HEBREW, THE WORD "HUMBLE"
THERE IN THIS VERSE, MICAH 6:8,
00:19:40.90\00:19:46.20
IT MEANS TO HUMBLE
THYSELF TO WALK WITH GOD.
00:19:46.20\00:19:51.26
IN OTHER WORDS, WALKING HUMBLY
WITH GOD MEANS YOU BEGIN THE
00:19:51.26\00:19:54.33
WALK BY A HUMBLING OF YOURSELF,
REPENTING OF YOUR SINS.
00:19:54.33\00:19:59.86
YOU'RE NOT WALKING WITH GOD
BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU'RE WORTHY.
00:19:59.86\00:20:02.33
YOU'RE WALKING WITH GOD
BECAUSE YOU HUMBLED YOURSELF.
00:20:02.33\00:20:05.53
THAT'S WHAT MAKES US
WORTHY TO WALK WITH GOD.
00:20:05.53\00:20:08.96
WE'RE NOT WALKING WITH GOD
BECAUSE WE THINK WE'RE BETTER
00:20:08.96\00:20:11.33
THAN OTHERS WHO
ARE WALKING WITH GOD.
00:20:11.33\00:20:14.00
WE WALK WITH HIM BECAUSE WE'RE
THANKFUL THAT WE CAN BE FOUND
00:20:14.00\00:20:17.93
WORTHY BY CHRIST'S VIRTUE
AND MERIT, NOT BY OUR OWN.
00:20:17.93\00:20:22.56
PSALMS 25:9, "THE MEEK HE WILL
GUIDE IN JUDGMENT," THAT MEANS
00:20:22.56\00:20:28.16
IN RIGHTNESS, "AND THE MEEK HE
WILL TEACH HIS WAY," THE HUMBLE
00:20:28.16\00:20:33.23
WILL LEARN.
00:20:33.23\00:20:34.83
I HEARD ABOUT THIS VILLAGE
IN AFRICA WHERE A MAN WAS GIVEN
00:20:34.83\00:20:38.83
A MEDAL BECAUSE HE WAS
CONSIDERED THE MOST HUMBLE MAN
00:20:38.83\00:20:41.33
IN THE VILLAGE.
00:20:41.33\00:20:42.90
BUT THEN, HE MADE THE MISTAKE OF
WEARING THE MEDAL AND THEY TOOK
00:20:42.90\00:20:44.73
IT AWAY FROM HIM.
00:20:44.73\00:20:49.70
THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT
CHRISTIAN HUMILITY IS ONCE YOU
00:20:49.70\00:20:53.23
THINK YOU'VE ACHIEVED IT, YOU
PROBABLY LOST IT AT THAT MOMENT.
00:20:53.23\00:20:57.13
"PRAISE THE
LORD, I'M NOW HUMBLE!"
00:20:57.13\00:21:00.06
I MEAN AS SOON AS YOU SAY THAT,
YOU'RE PROUD OF YOUR HUMILITY,
00:21:00.06\00:21:02.26
RIGHT?
00:21:02.26\00:21:03.33
AND YOU'VE LOST IT.
00:21:03.33\00:21:05.06
1 PETER 5:5, "GOD RESISTS
THE PROUD BUT HE GIVES GRACE
00:21:05.06\00:21:10.43
TO THE HUMBLE."
00:21:10.43\00:21:11.63
OOH, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU BUT I NEED GRACE.
00:21:11.63\00:21:14.33
DO YOU NEED GRACE?
00:21:14.33\00:21:16.43
WHO GETS THE GRACE?
00:21:16.43\00:21:19.46
THE HUMBLE.
00:21:19.46\00:21:20.90
IN YOUR WALK WITH GOD,
ARE YOU GOING TO FALL DOWN?
00:21:20.90\00:21:23.90
YEAH, BUT IF YOU'RE WALKING
HUMBLY, HE'LL PICK YOU BACK UP.
00:21:23.90\00:21:27.53
YOU GET GRACE.
00:21:27.53\00:21:29.53
IF YOU'RE WALKING WITH ARROGANCE
WITH GOD, YOU'RE GOING TO FALL A
00:21:29.53\00:21:33.76
LOT AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN UP YET.
00:21:33.76\00:21:37.06
BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE WALKING WITH GOD, YOU
00:21:37.06\00:21:39.93
NEED TO DO IT HUMBLY.
00:21:39.93\00:21:43.00
AND THEN ESPECIALLY BEAUTIFUL
IS THE PART THAT SAYS, FINALLY,
00:21:43.00\00:21:49.20
PSALMS 51:17, "THE SACRIFICES
OF GOD ARE A BROKEN SPIRIT,
00:21:49.20\00:21:57.26
A BROKEN AND CONTRITE HEART,
THESE, O GOD, YOU WILL NOT
00:21:57.26\00:22:01.03
DESPISE."
00:22:01.03\00:22:02.33
IF YOU'RE WALKING WITH
GOD HUMBLY, THAT MEANS YOU'RE
00:22:02.33\00:22:05.50
WALKING BECAUSE
YOUR HEART'S BEEN BROKEN.
00:22:05.50\00:22:08.06
YOU HAVE BEEN BROKEN
AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS.
00:22:08.06\00:22:12.30
AND YOU ARE SO THANKFUL THAT YOU
HAVE ANY--THE PRIVILEGE TO WALK
00:22:12.30\00:22:15.96
WITH GOD THAT
YOU'RE DOING IT HUMBLY.
00:22:15.96\00:22:19.76
NOW WOVEN INTO THAT LAST VERSE,
THE LAST PART OF THE VERSE, DO
00:22:19.76\00:22:25.40
JUSTLY, LOVE MERCY,
WALK HUMBLY WITH THY GOD.
00:22:25.40\00:22:31.40
YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY
BEAUTIFUL WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
00:22:31.40\00:22:33.36
IT.
00:22:33.36\00:22:35.20
THE VERY FACT IT
SAYS "WITH GOD," WHAT?
00:22:35.20\00:22:37.93
WE GET TO BE WITH GOD.
00:22:37.93\00:22:39.40
WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF
THE PLAN OF SALVATION?
00:22:39.40\00:22:41.63
WE'VE BEEN SEPARATED
FROM GOD BY OUR SINS.
00:22:41.63\00:22:43.93
HE WANTS TO BE WITH US.
00:22:43.93\00:22:46.10
ISN'T THAT
WONDERFUL TO THINK ABOUT?
00:22:46.10\00:22:48.30
REVELATION 21:3, "AND I HEARD
A LOUD VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAYING,
00:22:48.30\00:22:53.93
'BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD
IS WITH MEN, AND HE WILL DWELL
00:22:53.93\00:22:58.23
WITH THEM.
00:22:58.23\00:23:00.20
THEY SHALL BE HIS PEOPLE, AND
GOD HIMSELF WILL BE WITH THEM.'"
00:23:00.20\00:23:04.46
WOW, WHAT'S THE ULTIMATE
GOAL WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN?
00:23:04.46\00:23:08.23
THAT WE'RE WITH EACH OTHER.
00:23:08.23\00:23:10.26
SO IF YOU WANT TO BE WITH HIM
THEN, THERE, WE MUST BE WILLING
00:23:10.26\00:23:14.03
TO WALK WITH HIM HERE NOW; THAT
WE WALK HUMBLY WITH OUR GOD.
00:23:14.03\00:23:19.43
LIVING--YOU GOT TWO
CHOICES: YOU CAN LIVE A LIFE
00:23:19.43\00:23:22.20
WITH GOD OR WITHOUT HIM.
00:23:22.20\00:23:23.83
I'VE ALREADY TRIED LIVING
WITHOUT HIM AND IT GOES NOWHERE.
00:23:23.83\00:23:26.53
WELL, IT GOES DOWN.
00:23:26.53\00:23:28.00
SO, I'M GOING TO LIVE WITH HIM
AND THAT MEANS WALKING WITH HIM.
00:23:28.00\00:23:32.70
WALK HUMBLY WITH THY GOD.
00:23:32.70\00:23:36.03
NOW, IN SUMMARY,
NOTICE WHAT'S IN THESE VERSES.
00:23:36.03\00:23:40.56
THE THREE MAIN POINTS ARE,
SAY 'EM WITH ME: DO JUSTLY,
00:23:40.56\00:23:46.06
LOVE MERCY, WALK HUMBLY.
00:23:46.06\00:23:50.96
THE DO IS WHAT YOU DO.
00:23:50.96\00:23:54.36
THE LOVE IS WHAT
YOU DO WITH OTHERS.
00:23:54.36\00:23:58.70
THE WALK IS WITH GOD.
00:23:58.70\00:24:01.26
THE GREAT COMMANDMENT, "LOVE
THE LORD YOUR GOD, LOVE YOUR
00:24:01.26\00:24:05.20
NEIGHBOR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF."
00:24:05.20\00:24:07.73
YOU HEARD ME SAY BEFORE THE KEY
TO JOY IS JESUS, OTHERS, YOU.
00:24:07.73\00:24:14.16
IT'S THESE THREE INDIVIDUALS ARE
IN THE KEY VISION STATEMENT FOR
00:24:14.16\00:24:17.43
THE CHRISTIAN.
00:24:17.43\00:24:18.43
IT'S IN THIS
VERSE: YOU LIVE JUSTLY.
00:24:18.43\00:24:22.70
FOR OTHERS, LOVE MERCY.
00:24:22.70\00:24:26.36
AND THEN, HAVE GOD
YOUR FOCUS, WALK WITH GOD.
00:24:26.36\00:24:31.26
LIVE FOR HIS GLORY.
00:24:31.26\00:24:32.86
WORSHIP HIM.
00:24:32.86\00:24:34.00
YOU, YOUR NEIGHBOR AND GOD.
00:24:34.00\00:24:35.83
IT'S ALL SUMMED UP IN THIS.
00:24:35.83\00:24:37.43
YOU KNOW WHAT I
LOVE ABOUT THIS VERSE.
00:24:37.43\00:24:39.80
IT SAYS, "FOR GOD SEEKS NOT WHAT
YOU HAVE BUT WHO YOU ARE," NOT
00:24:39.80\00:24:46.13
YOUR SUBSTANCE BUT YOUR SPIRIT.
00:24:46.13\00:24:50.26
HE'S NOT LOOKING FOR YOUR
HOUSE BUT HE WANTS YOUR HEART.
00:24:50.26\00:24:54.50
THIS WONDERFUL VERSE
ENCAPSULATES WHAT DOES THE LORD
00:24:54.50\00:24:58.43
WANT FROM US.
00:24:58.43\00:24:59.86
HE WANTS YOU.
00:24:59.86\00:25:01.83
HE WANTS YOUR HEART.
00:25:01.83\00:25:03.83
AND IF HE HAS YOUR HEART,
YOU'LL SAY, "LORD, BY YOUR
00:25:03.83\00:25:06.20
GRACE, I'M GOING TO
SEEK FIRST YOUR KINGDOM.
00:25:06.20\00:25:09.00
I'M GOING TO DO JUSTLY.
00:25:09.00\00:25:10.56
I'M GOING TO LOVE MY NEIGHBOR.
00:25:10.56\00:25:12.16
I'M GOING TO SHOW
MERCY AND KINDNESS.
00:25:12.16\00:25:15.26
AND I'M GOING TO LIVE A LIFE
THAT'S NOT SEPARATED FROM YOU.
00:25:15.26\00:25:18.53
I'M GOING TO WALK WITH YOU LIKE
ENOCH," AND ENOCH MUST'VE HAD
00:25:18.53\00:25:20.76
SOME KIND OF WALK
BECAUSE HE NEVER EVEN DIED.
00:25:20.76\00:25:23.56
ENOCH IS WHERE
YOU WANT TO BE, AMEN?
00:25:23.56\00:25:26.20
SO IF YOU CAN WALK WITH GOD
THE WAY ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD,
00:25:26.20\00:25:28.66
THEN YOU'RE HOME FREE.
