Hello, friends,
welcome to A Sharper Focus,
00:00:22.85\00:00:26.76
a Wednesday night Bible study
00:00:26.79\00:00:28.22
here at the 3ABN Worship Center.
00:00:28.26\00:00:30.23
Thank you for tuning in,
00:00:30.26\00:00:31.59
no matter where
you're tuning in from,
00:00:31.63\00:00:33.33
I got a perspective
that not just America,
00:00:33.36\00:00:36.06
but China, India, Australia,
00:00:36.10\00:00:39.63
the Caribbean, Europe,
00:00:39.67\00:00:42.14
all over the world
people are tuning in.
00:00:42.17\00:00:44.01
So thank you for taking the time
00:00:44.04\00:00:46.01
to walk with us
through a thoughtful hour
00:00:46.04\00:00:48.24
in the Word of God.
00:00:48.28\00:00:49.61
Can we all say
amen to that? Amen.
00:00:49.64\00:00:51.01
Whenever you open the
Bible, God is waiting there.
00:00:51.05\00:00:53.62
As I read a quotation last week,
00:00:53.65\00:00:55.22
Ellen White said that
when we open the Word of God
00:00:55.25\00:00:57.62
we have to remember
that we are on Holy Ground.
00:00:57.65\00:01:01.02
And if our eyes
can be peeled back,
00:01:01.06\00:01:02.76
we will see the angels.
00:01:02.79\00:01:04.29
And remember, the
Word of God was inspired,
00:01:04.33\00:01:07.40
holy men of God
00:01:07.43\00:01:08.90
spake as they were
moved by the Holy Spirit.
00:01:08.93\00:01:11.10
So tonight, we are entering
into a study on Holy Ground.
00:01:11.13\00:01:15.07
And thank you for
taking the time to tune in.
00:01:15.10\00:01:17.27
In just a moment, I'll tell you
00:01:17.31\00:01:18.64
how to get a copy of the lesson.
00:01:18.67\00:01:20.01
We're gonna be
winding up on one lesson
00:01:20.04\00:01:21.78
about the truth
about biblical health,
00:01:21.81\00:01:24.88
and then go into another lesson,
00:01:24.91\00:01:26.85
the truth about the body temple.
00:01:26.88\00:01:29.38
But before we
have our theme song,
00:01:29.42\00:01:30.85
and before I tell you
where to find the lesson,
00:01:30.89\00:01:32.75
let's begin with prayer.
00:01:32.79\00:01:34.52
Loving Father in
heaven, we thank You
00:01:34.56\00:01:36.73
that as we open
Your Word tonight,
00:01:36.76\00:01:38.46
You promise to open our hearts.
00:01:38.49\00:01:40.53
So, Lord, we hear You knocking
at the door of our heart.
00:01:40.56\00:01:43.83
We invite You in to sup with us,
00:01:43.87\00:01:46.30
to have dinner with us.
00:01:46.33\00:01:48.40
May Your Spirit
speak to us, may we learn,
00:01:48.44\00:01:51.31
but also may You give
us the desire and the will
00:01:51.34\00:01:53.94
to follow You and to serve You,
00:01:53.98\00:01:55.84
in Jesus' name we pray.
00:01:55.88\00:01:57.91
Amen.
00:01:57.95\00:02:00.22
If you want a
copy of the lesson,
00:02:00.25\00:02:01.58
go to this
following website asf.3abn.org
00:02:01.62\00:02:07.19
and download lesson number 31.
00:02:07.22\00:02:10.63
Lesson number 31 entitled,
00:02:10.66\00:02:13.13
"The Truth about
the Body Temple."
00:02:13.16\00:02:15.53
This fits right into the topic
00:02:15.56\00:02:17.20
that we've been covering so far.
00:02:17.23\00:02:19.13
We've been talking
about biblical health,
00:02:19.17\00:02:21.57
and we're
winding up on that lesson
00:02:21.60\00:02:23.24
only two more
questions in lesson number 30.
00:02:23.27\00:02:25.97
So if you did not
download number 30,
00:02:26.01\00:02:27.84
we're finishing
question number 21 and 22.
00:02:27.88\00:02:31.91
And so you can follow along.
00:02:31.95\00:02:34.35
Also, if you have any questions
at that very same website,
00:02:34.38\00:02:36.99
there are some links
where you can upload questions
00:02:37.02\00:02:39.85
and comments.
00:02:39.89\00:02:41.22
If something has not been clear,
00:02:41.26\00:02:42.59
we'd like to make
sure that it is clear.
00:02:42.62\00:02:44.53
Now let's sing our
theme song together.
00:02:44.56\00:02:46.49
And our theme song
is "Victory in Jesus."
00:02:46.53\00:02:50.13
Let's sing this song together.
00:02:50.17\00:02:51.70
I heard an old, old story
00:02:59.51\00:03:03.21
How the Savior came from glory
00:03:03.24\00:03:07.02
How He gave His life on Calvary
00:03:07.05\00:03:10.72
To save a wretch like me
00:03:10.75\00:03:14.52
I heard about His groaning
00:03:14.56\00:03:18.33
Of His precious blood's atoning
00:03:18.36\00:03:22.03
Then I repented of my sin
00:03:22.06\00:03:25.87
And won the victory
00:03:25.90\00:03:29.70
O victory in Jesus
00:03:29.74\00:03:33.41
My Savior, forever
00:03:33.44\00:03:37.25
He sought me and bought me
00:03:37.28\00:03:40.95
With His redeeming blood
00:03:40.98\00:03:44.75
He loved me ere I knew Him
00:03:44.79\00:03:48.52
And all my love is due Him
00:03:48.56\00:03:52.29
He plunged me to victory
00:03:52.33\00:03:56.13
Beneath the cleansing flood
00:03:56.16\00:03:59.90
I heard about a mansion
00:03:59.93\00:04:03.61
He has built for me in glory
00:04:03.64\00:04:07.48
And I heard about
the streets of gold
00:04:07.51\00:04:11.18
Beyond the crystal sea
00:04:11.21\00:04:15.02
About the angels singing
00:04:15.05\00:04:18.79
And the old redemption story
00:04:18.82\00:04:22.56
And some sweet
day I'll sing up there
00:04:22.59\00:04:26.43
The song of victory
00:04:26.46\00:04:29.00
Key change.
00:04:29.03\00:04:30.37
O victory in Jesus
00:04:30.40\00:04:33.87
My Savior, forever
00:04:33.90\00:04:37.67
He sought me and bought me
00:04:37.71\00:04:41.41
With His redeeming blood
00:04:41.44\00:04:45.21
He loved me ere I knew Him
00:04:45.25\00:04:49.08
And all my love is due Him
00:04:49.12\00:04:52.85
He plunged me to victory
00:04:52.89\00:04:56.59
Beneath the cleansing flood
00:04:56.62\00:04:59.43
Together.
00:04:59.46\00:05:00.80
He plunged me to victory
00:05:00.83\00:05:04.17
Beneath the cleansing flood
00:05:04.20\00:05:10.47
Amen.
00:05:10.51\00:05:12.14
And we need to be
plunged every day.
00:05:12.17\00:05:15.81
Ain't that right?
00:05:15.84\00:05:17.18
Every morning a
new, fresh cleaning.
00:05:17.21\00:05:20.35
We're not gonna sing it again
00:05:20.38\00:05:22.18
although that's not a bad idea.
00:05:22.22\00:05:24.39
But being plunged every
day is something we all need.
00:05:24.42\00:05:28.42
Thank you for that cue,
00:05:28.46\00:05:29.89
but we're not
gonna sing it again.
00:05:29.92\00:05:32.53
We're gonna be
finishing up the title,
00:05:32.56\00:05:34.86
"The Truth about
Biblical Health."
00:05:34.90\00:05:38.60
Say that with me,
00:05:38.63\00:05:39.97
The Truth about Biblical Health.
00:05:40.00\00:05:42.87
We covered quite a bit.
00:05:42.90\00:05:44.24
This lesson had 22 questions,
00:05:44.27\00:05:47.01
and we've learned
some valuable things
00:05:47.04\00:05:49.38
about how important
00:05:49.41\00:05:51.21
our bodies are in
the sight of the Lord.
00:05:51.25\00:05:53.95
The Lord loves us, does He not?
00:05:53.98\00:05:56.25
And He wants us to have
the most optimal health.
00:05:56.28\00:05:59.79
And when you follow
God's owner's manual,
00:05:59.82\00:06:02.92
just like when
you get a toaster,
00:06:02.96\00:06:05.13
I was surprised that on
the back of the toothbrush
00:06:05.16\00:06:08.66
package instructions are there,
00:06:08.70\00:06:11.63
as though we don't know
what to do with the toothbrush.
00:06:11.67\00:06:14.14
But everything
comes with instructions.
00:06:14.17\00:06:16.14
Q-Tips come with instructions
that tell you what to do
00:06:16.17\00:06:19.51
and what not to do.
00:06:19.54\00:06:20.98
My wife is still training
me about how to use Q-Tip,
00:06:21.01\00:06:23.41
she says never put
a Q-Tip in your ear
00:06:23.45\00:06:25.55
only put your elbow.
00:06:25.58\00:06:26.98
Well, I can't put my...
00:06:27.02\00:06:29.08
Since I can't put
my elbow I put a Q-Tip.
00:06:29.12\00:06:31.79
But I'm still learning.
00:06:31.82\00:06:34.16
But the Lord has given
us instruction in His Word
00:06:34.19\00:06:36.69
that's so clear,
00:06:36.73\00:06:38.16
so concise that if
you want optimal health,
00:06:38.19\00:06:40.96
you simply have
to follow God's Word.
00:06:41.00\00:06:43.26
We've talked about
00:06:43.30\00:06:44.73
the things that can
and cannot be eaten.
00:06:44.77\00:06:47.60
We walked through a
various books in the Bible,
00:06:47.64\00:06:50.11
like Deuteronomy Chapter
14 and Leviticus Chapter 11.
00:06:50.14\00:06:53.81
If you missed
the earlier lessons,
00:06:53.84\00:06:55.34
that very same
website asf.3abn.org,
00:06:55.38\00:06:58.95
you can download the
lesson, the earlier part,
00:06:58.98\00:07:00.98
and look at the videos
00:07:01.02\00:07:02.35
because the videos are uploaded
00:07:02.38\00:07:04.02
so you can follow along
anything that you have missed.
00:07:04.05\00:07:07.36
We talked about
shellfish, hard shellfish,
00:07:07.39\00:07:11.19
lobsters, crabs,
oysters, shrimps,
00:07:11.23\00:07:14.20
mussels, scallops,
clams, you name it.
00:07:14.23\00:07:17.73
If it has a hard
shell, don't eat it.
00:07:17.77\00:07:20.54
All garbage cans
have hard shells.
00:07:20.57\00:07:24.27
God's got his own
sanitation department.
00:07:24.31\00:07:27.18
Don't eat God's
sanitation department.
00:07:27.21\00:07:30.25
If you eat the
garbage collectors,
00:07:30.28\00:07:32.85
the garbage remains.
00:07:32.88\00:07:35.32
Fins and
scales, say it together,
00:07:35.35\00:07:37.85
fins and scales,
it has to have both.
00:07:37.89\00:07:41.29
The fish have to
have both which means
00:07:41.32\00:07:43.53
that eliminates catfish,
00:07:43.56\00:07:44.89
all of those of you who
live in Southern Illinois,
00:07:44.93\00:07:47.23
gotta leave the
catfish alone, right?
00:07:47.26\00:07:50.27
You can get bass, and crappie,
and all that other stuff
00:07:50.30\00:07:54.74
that has fins and scales.
00:07:54.77\00:07:56.30
No shark, no dolphin
00:07:56.34\00:07:58.64
and surely don't
try to cook a whale,
00:07:58.67\00:08:01.91
just not gonna work.
00:08:01.94\00:08:04.81
When it comes to
animals, it has to chew its cud
00:08:04.85\00:08:08.12
and have a split hoof together,
00:08:08.15\00:08:11.45
which means the cow.
00:08:11.49\00:08:14.66
And the list is
all there in the Bible.
00:08:14.69\00:08:17.16
But now, the pig,
00:08:17.19\00:08:18.96
the one you have to
look out for is the pig.
00:08:18.99\00:08:22.83
It has a split hoof but
it doesn't chew its cud.
00:08:22.86\00:08:25.77
It is the most mobile,
00:08:25.80\00:08:27.94
the greasiest
garbage can on the ground.
00:08:27.97\00:08:31.97
It eats whatever
it digests, whatever.
00:08:32.01\00:08:35.01
And it's the only animal
00:08:35.04\00:08:36.38
that people eat
every single thing
00:08:36.41\00:08:38.21
from the nose to
the end of the tail.
00:08:38.25\00:08:42.65
So don't eat it.
00:08:42.68\00:08:44.02
The pig is a garbage can.
00:08:44.05\00:08:45.39
You can give him a
bowl, you give him a shower,
00:08:45.42\00:08:47.82
spray cologne or perfume,
put him inside your house,
00:08:47.86\00:08:51.53
but the moment he gets outside,
00:08:51.56\00:08:53.16
he's gonna go back
00:08:53.19\00:08:54.53
to the dirtiest filthiest thing.
00:08:54.56\00:08:55.90
And you know what?
00:08:55.93\00:08:57.27
God designed
them to be that way.
00:08:57.30\00:08:58.63
So don't eat the pig.
00:08:58.67\00:09:00.00
And we talked about trichinosis,
00:09:00.04\00:09:01.60
we talked about
even the clean meat,
00:09:01.64\00:09:03.64
you have to be careful.
00:09:03.67\00:09:05.07
If beef is in
the clean category,
00:09:05.11\00:09:07.38
but if you eat beef
that's not well cooked,
00:09:07.41\00:09:09.94
you put the blood in your body,
00:09:09.98\00:09:12.05
and we are not
supposed to eat fat nor blood.
00:09:12.08\00:09:15.72
Amen somebody.
00:09:15.75\00:09:17.19
Because those are the
places where the purines,
00:09:17.22\00:09:20.16
the impurities reside.
00:09:20.19\00:09:22.29
Don't eat fat or blood.
00:09:22.32\00:09:24.29
Even if it's a clean
meat, don't eat fat or blood,
00:09:24.33\00:09:26.59
that's why it's
best to be a vegetarian.
00:09:26.63\00:09:28.60
That's why it's best
in some cases for some
00:09:28.63\00:09:30.47
to be a vegan.
00:09:30.50\00:09:31.83
Somebody will say,
"Well, how can I survive?"
00:09:31.87\00:09:34.10
Well, you know what?
00:09:34.14\00:09:35.47
Ask the cow.
00:09:35.50\00:09:37.47
He's a vegetarian.
00:09:37.51\00:09:38.97
He's a vegan,
00:09:39.01\00:09:40.58
except when they
put stuff in his feed
00:09:40.61\00:09:42.31
that he shouldn't be eating.
00:09:42.34\00:09:44.11
So God has the best diet.
00:09:44.15\00:09:45.75
And tonight we're gonna
go on the last two questions
00:09:45.78\00:09:48.52
21 and 22
00:09:48.55\00:09:50.55
and discover what God
wants to say to us in His Word,
00:09:50.59\00:09:53.76
and then we're gonna
transition to lesson number 31,
00:09:53.79\00:09:57.23
The Truth about the Body Temple.
00:09:57.26\00:09:58.76
So let's dive right
in to question number 21.
00:09:58.79\00:10:01.46
And those of you
that are at home,
00:10:01.50\00:10:03.16
these questions and answers
will appear on the screen.
00:10:03.20\00:10:05.97
Number 21, let's go
ahead and dive into it.
00:10:06.00\00:10:09.40
Besides the things that we eat,
00:10:09.44\00:10:13.21
what other
instruction are we given?
00:10:13.24\00:10:16.34
Besides the things that we eat,
00:10:16.38\00:10:19.18
what other
instruction are we given?
00:10:19.21\00:10:21.55
Question number 21.
00:10:21.58\00:10:23.89
And go to Proverbs 17:22.
00:10:23.92\00:10:27.42
Proverbs 17:22.
00:10:27.46\00:10:31.43
Besides the things that we eat,
00:10:31.46\00:10:34.56
what other
instruction are we given?
00:10:34.60\00:10:37.53
You know, because
00:10:37.57\00:10:38.90
I want to just make
this very, very clear.
00:10:38.93\00:10:41.10
We are not saved by
diet, can we say amen?
00:10:41.14\00:10:45.31
But when you are in
a saving relationship,
00:10:45.34\00:10:48.51
then God has given
you a responsibility
00:10:48.54\00:10:52.38
on how to handle your body,
00:10:52.41\00:10:53.98
on what to do with His temple.
00:10:54.02\00:10:56.45
Now you recognize Him
as the owner of your body.
00:10:56.48\00:10:59.25
He requires us
00:10:59.29\00:11:00.62
to handle the
body a certain way.
00:11:00.66\00:11:02.52
But there's something more
than just sometimes what we eat
00:11:02.56\00:11:07.13
that makes a difference in
our stewardship of our body.
00:11:07.16\00:11:10.07
Let's look at Proverbs 17:22.
00:11:10.10\00:11:12.63
And here's what the Bible says,
here's what a wise man says.
00:11:12.67\00:11:16.81
Let's read this
first text together.
00:11:16.84\00:11:18.37
Are you ready?"
00:11:18.41\00:11:20.11
A merry heart
does good like," what?
00:11:20.14\00:11:23.61
"Medicine, but a
broken spirit does," what?
00:11:23.65\00:11:27.72
"Dries the bones."
00:11:27.75\00:11:30.69
So this is amazing.
00:11:30.72\00:11:32.49
Sometimes it's not
what you're eating,
00:11:32.52\00:11:34.66
sometimes it's
what's eating you.
00:11:34.69\00:11:37.59
Right?
00:11:37.63\00:11:38.96
I've seen some
healthy vegetarians
00:11:38.99\00:11:40.90
that are as sour as pickles
00:11:40.93\00:11:43.90
on the first day of their birth.
00:11:43.93\00:11:46.87
I mean, sour, angry,
00:11:46.90\00:11:50.41
hostile, can't smile.
00:11:50.44\00:11:55.44
So you might have
the cleanest colon,
00:11:55.48\00:11:58.48
but the most cluttered
mind, and the most sad heart.
00:11:58.51\00:12:03.55
The fruit of the Spirit is what?
00:12:03.59\00:12:05.09
Together.
00:12:05.12\00:12:06.45
Love, joy, peace,
long-suffering, gentleness,
00:12:06.49\00:12:10.36
meekness, patience.
00:12:10.39\00:12:12.59
You can be healthy,
00:12:12.63\00:12:13.96
but you have to have
a healthy attitude also,
00:12:14.00\00:12:15.60
ain't that right?
00:12:15.63\00:12:16.97
If your attitude is unhealthy
and your colon is healthy,
00:12:17.00\00:12:20.07
nobody wants to be around you
00:12:20.10\00:12:22.30
because they see your attitude
00:12:22.34\00:12:23.81
before they see your intestines.
00:12:23.84\00:12:25.54
All right?
00:12:25.57\00:12:26.91
The Lord wants us to
reflect on the outside
00:12:26.94\00:12:29.64
what's going on the inside
00:12:29.68\00:12:31.91
because there are some
people that are meat eaters,
00:12:31.95\00:12:34.22
carnivores, eat
all kinds of shellfish
00:12:34.25\00:12:36.42
and all kinds of unclean
stuff but they're so nice.
00:12:36.45\00:12:39.52
What testimony
is it for Christian
00:12:39.55\00:12:41.22
to boast about his or her health
00:12:41.26\00:12:43.46
and have a terrible attitude?
00:12:43.49\00:12:46.16
So God wants us to have
good insides and good what?
00:12:46.19\00:12:50.30
Outsides.
00:12:50.33\00:12:51.67
They say, if you feel
good, notify your face.
00:12:51.70\00:12:55.20
"A merry heart doeth
good like a medicine,
00:12:55.24\00:12:57.87
but a broken
spirit dries up the bone."
00:12:57.91\00:13:00.68
And then there
are some individuals,
00:13:00.71\00:13:02.04
I want to expand on this.
00:13:02.08\00:13:03.68
There are some individuals
00:13:03.71\00:13:05.05
that can never
let go of the past.
00:13:05.08\00:13:09.08
They make sure does
it have any milk in it?
00:13:09.12\00:13:12.59
Does it have any pork in it?
00:13:12.62\00:13:14.06
Is it cooked in lard?
00:13:14.09\00:13:15.72
But they're stuck in
the past, their burdens,
00:13:15.76\00:13:18.39
their childhood
hurts, their difficulties.
00:13:18.43\00:13:21.26
And sometimes,
00:13:21.30\00:13:22.63
while they're particular
about the things they eat,
00:13:22.66\00:13:25.57
they're not doing anything
00:13:25.60\00:13:26.94
about the things
that are eating them.
00:13:26.97\00:13:29.64
So you have to handle
the emotional issues also
00:13:29.67\00:13:32.77
because many of the
Pharisees, the Jews,
00:13:32.81\00:13:35.58
they practiced
good eating habits
00:13:35.61\00:13:37.85
all the time.
00:13:37.88\00:13:39.41
But boy, there
was some angry folk.
00:13:39.45\00:13:41.85
They were so angry that
they crucified the Lord.
00:13:41.88\00:13:44.62
So you have to
deal with the issues
00:13:44.65\00:13:46.05
that are
sometimes confronting you
00:13:46.09\00:13:47.92
on a day by day basis.
00:13:47.96\00:13:49.29
I've often said in
my counseling sessions,
00:13:49.32\00:13:51.69
that you don't want
to carry a trailer truck
00:13:51.73\00:13:53.53
of bad experiences with you
00:13:53.56\00:13:55.23
and boast about a clean diet.
00:13:55.26\00:13:57.27
It just doesn't make sense.
00:13:57.30\00:13:59.03
If your mind is clear,
your body is going to respond.
00:13:59.07\00:14:02.77
So when you get
the two together,
00:14:02.80\00:14:04.71
then you are happy, clean,
healthy person to be around.
00:14:04.74\00:14:07.78
Amen?
00:14:07.81\00:14:09.14
So make sure those
bones are not dried up.
00:14:09.18\00:14:11.51
And the spirit is bright,
00:14:11.55\00:14:13.05
it's led by the
presence of the Holy Spirit.
00:14:13.08\00:14:16.22
Number 22, the last question.
00:14:16.25\00:14:19.12
Number 22.
00:14:19.15\00:14:21.59
And it says,
00:14:21.62\00:14:23.19
"How important is it for us
00:14:23.22\00:14:26.46
to trust God's
health principles?"
00:14:26.49\00:14:30.17
How important is it for us
00:14:30.20\00:14:32.90
to trust God's
health principles?
00:14:32.93\00:14:35.54
How important,
00:14:35.57\00:14:36.91
we know the
answer is very important.
00:14:36.94\00:14:38.77
But let's go to Proverbs 3:7-8.
00:14:38.81\00:14:41.44
You know, Proverbs 3:5-6,
00:14:41.48\00:14:43.28
we all know if I
started saying it,
00:14:43.31\00:14:45.41
you will follow along.
00:14:45.45\00:14:46.78
Are you ready?
00:14:46.82\00:14:48.15
"Trust in the Lord
your God with," what?
00:14:48.18\00:14:49.58
"All your heart,
00:14:49.62\00:14:50.95
lean not on your
own understanding,
00:14:50.99\00:14:53.36
in all your
ways acknowledge Him,
00:14:53.39\00:14:55.56
and He will direct your path.
00:14:55.59\00:14:57.26
That's verse 5 and 6.
00:14:57.29\00:14:58.73
We're gonna look
at verse 7 and 8,
00:14:58.76\00:15:00.96
the verses that follow that.
00:15:01.00\00:15:02.66
Proverbs 3:7-8.
00:15:02.70\00:15:05.03
How important is it for us
00:15:05.07\00:15:06.84
to trust God's
health principles?
00:15:06.87\00:15:09.77
Here it is.
00:15:09.80\00:15:12.57
Proverbs 23.
00:15:12.61\00:15:13.98
Sorry, 23:2, Okay.
00:15:14.01\00:15:17.95
I actually want to go to,
00:15:17.98\00:15:21.15
let's see, which one do I...
00:15:21.18\00:15:22.72
I have Proverbs 3:7-8, go
ahead and turn to that one.
00:15:22.75\00:15:26.72
Go ahead and turn to that one.
00:15:26.76\00:15:28.09
Proverbs 3:7-8.
00:15:28.12\00:15:30.06
I have 23:2,
00:15:30.09\00:15:31.49
but I actually
meant Proverbs 3:7-8.
00:15:31.53\00:15:34.93
Let's go to that one.
00:15:34.96\00:15:36.40
Okay,
00:15:36.43\00:15:38.03
and it'll appear on the screen.
00:15:38.07\00:15:39.53
So what's on your syllabus?
00:15:39.57\00:15:41.00
The correction
is Proverbs 3:7-8.
00:15:41.04\00:15:44.47
Okay, here it is, together.
00:15:44.51\00:15:47.38
"Do not be wise
in your own eyes."
00:15:47.41\00:15:52.78
That means you might
think your way is best.
00:15:52.81\00:15:54.82
"Don't be wise in your own eyes.
00:15:54.85\00:15:57.19
Fear the Lord and
depart from evil."
00:15:57.22\00:16:00.02
Now watch this, verse 8,
00:16:00.06\00:16:01.79
"It will be" what?
00:16:01.82\00:16:03.36
"Health to your
flesh," and what?
00:16:03.39\00:16:06.06
"Strength to your bones."
00:16:06.09\00:16:08.23
There are some people that say,
00:16:08.26\00:16:10.93
"But I like."
00:16:10.97\00:16:12.47
And they'll
mention what they like.
00:16:12.50\00:16:14.20
But I've always
00:16:14.24\00:16:15.70
and they'll
mention what they eat.
00:16:15.74\00:16:17.14
Well, this is what my mother ate
00:16:17.17\00:16:18.81
and this is what
my grandmother ate,
00:16:18.84\00:16:20.58
and it didn't kill her.
00:16:20.61\00:16:21.94
Somebody once mentioned,
00:16:21.98\00:16:23.31
there was a guy
that died many years ago.
00:16:23.35\00:16:24.68
Young folk, give me
a break for a moment.
00:16:24.71\00:16:27.42
His name is George Burns.
00:16:27.45\00:16:28.95
If you're a teenager,
you don't know who he is.
00:16:28.98\00:16:31.75
Okay, but George Burns
lived to 100 years old,
00:16:31.79\00:16:35.62
and he always had
a cigar in his mouth.
00:16:35.66\00:16:37.73
And he had his television
show girl, wife was Gracie
00:16:37.76\00:16:41.70
and he had a little round glass,
00:16:41.73\00:16:43.06
and he'd go Gracie.
00:16:43.10\00:16:44.43
He lived 100
with smoking a cigar.
00:16:44.47\00:16:47.04
Imagine how much
longer he could have lived
00:16:47.07\00:16:49.20
had he not smoked a cigar.
00:16:49.24\00:16:52.01
Now it could have been a prop,
00:16:52.04\00:16:53.61
but his message
was smoke a cigar.
00:16:53.64\00:16:56.08
And there are some
individuals that don't think
00:16:56.11\00:16:57.81
it matters how
you conduct your life.
00:16:57.85\00:17:00.08
Then there are some individuals
that simply follow tradition,
00:17:00.12\00:17:03.12
they do it because
their mother did it,
00:17:03.15\00:17:04.95
because their
grandmother did it,
00:17:04.99\00:17:06.39
and they don't
really know why they do it.
00:17:06.42\00:17:09.82
I read a story about a lady
00:17:09.86\00:17:11.23
and, you know, we don't
eat ham but this illustration
00:17:11.26\00:17:14.76
came out of the
context of somebody
00:17:14.80\00:17:17.17
who every once a year
00:17:17.20\00:17:19.50
they had during the
season of Thanksgiving,
00:17:19.53\00:17:21.67
before they cook this
ham, which we don't eat,
00:17:21.70\00:17:25.94
which we don't eat.
00:17:25.97\00:17:28.61
They would always
cut up an inch of it
00:17:28.64\00:17:30.51
and put it in the pan.
00:17:30.55\00:17:32.41
And the husband would see
his wife do this so frequently.
00:17:32.45\00:17:35.48
He said, "Honey,
why do you do that?
00:17:35.52\00:17:37.52
Why do you always cut up?"
00:17:37.55\00:17:38.89
She said, "My
mother always did it."
00:17:38.92\00:17:40.52
Well, her mother was
alive and she called her mom.
00:17:40.56\00:17:42.69
"Mom, what? Why do we do that?"
00:17:42.72\00:17:44.89
She said,
"Because grandma did it."
00:17:44.93\00:17:47.06
And grandma was still around,
hovering in her late years,
00:17:47.10\00:17:51.00
but cognizant enough
to answer the question,
00:17:51.03\00:17:53.27
"Grandma, why do we do that?
00:17:53.30\00:17:55.27
Does it make it
taste better?" "No."
00:17:55.30\00:17:57.04
"So why do we do it?"
00:17:57.07\00:17:58.41
"It was too big for the pan?"
00:17:58.44\00:18:01.71
Didn't know why they did it.
00:18:01.74\00:18:03.65
Some people have no
clue why we do what we do.
00:18:03.68\00:18:06.41
So don't be wise
in your own eyes.
00:18:06.45\00:18:12.25
Listen to God's
Word, fear the Lord,
00:18:12.29\00:18:14.22
that means honor Him,
00:18:14.26\00:18:15.82
depart from those things
00:18:15.86\00:18:17.19
that lead you in
the wrong direction.
00:18:17.23\00:18:18.96
It will be health to your flesh
and strength to your bones.
00:18:18.99\00:18:22.43
Tradition is good
00:18:22.46\00:18:23.80
only as it does not
conflict with God's Word.
00:18:23.83\00:18:26.77
Amen?
00:18:26.80\00:18:28.14
So that's kind of a nutshell
and we've covered so much,
00:18:28.17\00:18:31.17
I almost feel
00:18:31.21\00:18:32.54
if you're tuning in
for the first time tonight
00:18:32.57\00:18:33.91
almost feel that
you've been cheated.
00:18:33.94\00:18:35.74
But I want to encourage you,
00:18:35.78\00:18:37.11
go to that
website, asf.3abn.org,
00:18:37.15\00:18:41.55
download lesson number 30.
00:18:41.58\00:18:43.72
And then download the video,
or look at the video online,
00:18:43.75\00:18:46.96
and you can get the rest of it
00:18:46.99\00:18:48.62
because we sure did
00:18:48.66\00:18:50.26
rightly divide the word of truth
00:18:50.29\00:18:51.69
as it relates to health,
00:18:51.73\00:18:53.90
and what is important
for us to do as Christians.
00:18:53.93\00:18:56.97
Now, we're going to
transition into another area,
00:18:57.00\00:19:01.70
and let me just
preface it by saying this.
00:19:01.74\00:19:04.21
So much of what happens
in Christianity is tradition
00:19:04.24\00:19:09.11
and so much of what
God says in His word
00:19:09.14\00:19:11.51
is sometimes overlooked.
00:19:11.55\00:19:13.55
Now we talked about health,
00:19:13.58\00:19:14.92
and there are so
many sincere Christians
00:19:14.95\00:19:16.72
that really have no
health practices at all,
00:19:16.75\00:19:19.09
except maybe no alcohol,
no drugs, no cigarettes,
00:19:19.12\00:19:23.73
that's predominantly
00:19:23.76\00:19:25.43
the basic practice
among Christianity.
00:19:25.46\00:19:27.86
However, there are
some Christian circles,
00:19:27.90\00:19:29.86
or some people that
claim to be Christians,
00:19:29.90\00:19:31.90
where they'll smoke a cigarette
where the preacher smokes.
00:19:31.93\00:19:35.07
There are some
churches that have alcohol
00:19:35.10\00:19:37.24
for their communion services.
00:19:37.27\00:19:39.31
There are some
denominations that use alcohol
00:19:39.34\00:19:41.24
for large communion services.
00:19:41.28\00:19:44.05
And we know that
00:19:44.08\00:19:45.41
that's not
supported by scripture,
00:19:45.45\00:19:46.78
nothing fermented
00:19:46.82\00:19:48.48
can be an expression
of that sinless Savior.
00:19:48.52\00:19:51.09
Ain't that right?
00:19:51.12\00:19:52.45
And so a lot of
traditions are there,
00:19:52.49\00:19:53.82
and many Christians
when we talked about health,
00:19:53.86\00:19:55.52
there are many churches
00:19:55.56\00:19:56.89
that don't even
breach that topic.
00:19:56.93\00:19:58.26
They don't even talk about it.
00:19:58.29\00:19:59.79
So hopefully we've been able
00:19:59.83\00:20:01.16
to encourage our
brothers and sisters
00:20:01.20\00:20:03.40
who believe that
00:20:03.43\00:20:05.50
the Lord is the
owner of their bodies,
00:20:05.53\00:20:07.47
and they are simply
stewards of this body.
00:20:07.50\00:20:10.21
We have to give
it back to the Lord.
00:20:10.24\00:20:11.74
Although we're going to get
the new model, I tell you what?
00:20:11.77\00:20:15.04
If some of us
would treat our bodies
00:20:15.08\00:20:16.75
half as good as we
treat our houses and our cars,
00:20:16.78\00:20:20.35
and the things
that we spend money on,
00:20:20.38\00:20:21.98
our bodies will
be in better shape
00:20:22.02\00:20:23.55
than our houses and cars.
00:20:23.59\00:20:25.95
But now,
00:20:25.99\00:20:27.32
this is an area
that we're cutting
00:20:27.36\00:20:29.89
that we're diving into now.
00:20:29.92\00:20:31.36
And it is called the
truth about the body temple.
00:20:31.39\00:20:33.86
Say that with me,
00:20:33.90\00:20:35.23
it is the truth
about the body temple.
00:20:35.26\00:20:37.90
When we covered
the health principles,
00:20:37.93\00:20:40.40
we talked about
00:20:40.44\00:20:41.77
what takes place on
the inside of the body.
00:20:41.80\00:20:44.81
On the where?
00:20:44.84\00:20:46.17
Inside.
00:20:46.21\00:20:47.98
And most of us can't see
00:20:48.01\00:20:50.71
what's happening on the
inside of somebody else's body.
00:20:50.75\00:20:53.82
But the Lord knows
because He made our bodies.
00:20:53.85\00:20:56.25
He knows when something
polluting it has entered in
00:20:56.28\00:21:00.22
and it's taking effect,
00:21:00.26\00:21:01.59
and He sees the
disease developing.
00:21:01.62\00:21:04.03
But I want to also inform you
00:21:04.06\00:21:06.16
that if you had
a church building,
00:21:06.19\00:21:09.76
if you had a
synagogue, if you had a temple,
00:21:09.80\00:21:13.13
I would like to
inform you tonight,
00:21:13.17\00:21:14.87
just in case you didn't know
00:21:14.90\00:21:16.54
that the inside and the outside
00:21:16.57\00:21:20.28
are the temple.
00:21:20.31\00:21:23.35
A worship building
consists of the inside
00:21:23.38\00:21:26.72
and the outside, both.
00:21:26.75\00:21:29.58
And when you follow Scripture,
00:21:29.62\00:21:30.95
you'll discover
that the same principles
00:21:30.99\00:21:33.25
that apply to what
happens on the inside,
00:21:33.29\00:21:36.46
many of those
same principles apply
00:21:36.49\00:21:38.13
to what takes
place on the outside,
00:21:38.16\00:21:39.89
as the Bible is specific about
what not to do on the inside,
00:21:39.93\00:21:43.06
it's also specific about
what not to do on the outside.
00:21:43.10\00:21:46.20
So let's dive into
question number one tonight,
00:21:46.23\00:21:48.10
one that you know very well,
00:21:48.14\00:21:49.90
but it bears repeating
because it lays the foundation.
00:21:49.94\00:21:53.58
We're simply
talking about the same body.
00:21:53.61\00:21:55.61
Now we've transitioned
from the inside to the what?
00:21:55.64\00:21:59.35
Outside, all right?
00:21:59.38\00:22:01.18
'Cause some people
have really nice cars.
00:22:01.22\00:22:04.55
I sat in the car once.
00:22:04.59\00:22:05.92
I got to tell this story.
00:22:05.95\00:22:07.29
I sat in the car once
and I thought to myself,
00:22:07.32\00:22:10.09
"Did this guy ever clean his car
00:22:10.13\00:22:11.76
from the day he bought it?"
00:22:11.79\00:22:13.76
I was afraid to sit on the seat.
00:22:13.80\00:22:16.53
It would do with
cans and cigarette butts.
00:22:16.56\00:22:19.67
And I'm thinking,
00:22:19.70\00:22:21.04
"If I sit in this
car, will I come out
00:22:21.07\00:22:22.90
with some kind of
incurable disease?"
00:22:22.94\00:22:26.44
And the outside
you couldn't tell,
00:22:26.47\00:22:27.81
but the inside was horrible.
00:22:27.84\00:22:29.54
Then there's
some people they have,
00:22:29.58\00:22:30.91
the outside of the car looks,
00:22:30.95\00:22:32.31
you know, really messed
up, but the inside is good.
00:22:32.35\00:22:35.25
The Lord wants us
to have a clean inside
00:22:35.28\00:22:37.25
and a presentable what?
00:22:37.29\00:22:38.89
Outside.
00:22:38.92\00:22:40.26
So let's begin with
this first question.
00:22:40.29\00:22:42.12
Let's begin with
this first question.
00:22:42.16\00:22:43.76
And many of you
know this text already,
00:22:43.79\00:22:45.49
but here it is.
00:22:45.53\00:22:46.86
What principle
governs our responsibility
00:22:46.90\00:22:51.33
concerning our bodies?
00:22:51.37\00:22:53.10
What principle
governs our responsibility
00:22:53.13\00:22:56.20
concerning our bodies?
00:22:56.24\00:22:57.57
Let's go to 1
Corinthians Chapter 6,
00:22:57.61\00:23:00.18
1 Corinthians Chapter 6.
00:23:00.21\00:23:02.41
Many of you know this text,
00:23:02.44\00:23:03.91
but we begin on
the principle text,
00:23:03.95\00:23:05.48
very important.
00:23:05.51\00:23:06.85
1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
00:23:06.88\00:23:10.05
All right, we start there.
00:23:10.09\00:23:12.52
All right?
00:23:12.55\00:23:14.16
And depending
on the translation,
00:23:14.19\00:23:18.03
it could be really inspiring.
00:23:18.06\00:23:19.69
I think in the
King James Version,
00:23:19.73\00:23:22.66
Paul the Apostle
begins with the word "What?"
00:23:22.70\00:23:25.13
Am I right, Brother Hutchinson?
00:23:25.17\00:23:26.84
He begins with the word, "What?"
00:23:26.87\00:23:28.94
Like to say you didn't know.
00:23:28.97\00:23:30.87
If you have the
King James Version,
00:23:30.91\00:23:32.24
you can see that, right?
00:23:32.27\00:23:33.61
What?
00:23:33.64\00:23:35.04
And when you look at
the way that's in the Greek,
00:23:35.08\00:23:36.41
it's almost like an surprise.
00:23:36.44\00:23:37.78
What?
00:23:37.81\00:23:39.38
And let's go on
and see how it reads
00:23:39.41\00:23:40.88
in the New King James.
00:23:40.92\00:23:42.25
Here it is on the screen.
00:23:42.28\00:23:43.92
"Or do you not know
that your body is the"
00:23:43.95\00:23:46.99
together
00:23:47.02\00:23:48.36
"temple of the Holy
Spirit, who is," where?
00:23:48.39\00:23:52.26
"In you, whom you have
from God, and you are," what?
00:23:52.29\00:23:56.60
"Not your own?"
00:23:56.63\00:23:58.53
Continuing, "For
you were bought," what?
00:23:58.57\00:24:02.44
"At a price, therefore glorify
God," in what two places?
00:24:02.47\00:24:06.88
"In your body
and in your spirit,
00:24:06.91\00:24:09.48
which are God's."
00:24:09.51\00:24:11.31
So often we are, you
know, some people say,
00:24:11.35\00:24:13.28
"Oh, the Holy Spirit fell
down, and I was in the spirit."
00:24:13.31\00:24:17.35
But you know what?
00:24:17.39\00:24:18.72
In our body and in our spirit,
00:24:18.75\00:24:21.02
the Lord is not just concerned
00:24:21.06\00:24:22.39
about our
spiritual act of worship,
00:24:22.42\00:24:24.69
He said, "Hey, what
are you doing to your body?
00:24:24.73\00:24:27.03
How are you handling your body?"
00:24:27.06\00:24:29.03
And you know,
00:24:29.06\00:24:30.40
that one thing that
this world doesn't emphasize?
00:24:30.43\00:24:32.80
Well, let me rephrase that.
00:24:32.83\00:24:36.34
The world emphasizes
00:24:36.37\00:24:39.07
the destruction
of the human body.
00:24:39.11\00:24:42.48
I mean, think about
the things they buy,
00:24:42.51\00:24:44.25
think about the things
00:24:44.28\00:24:45.61
that are done to the human body.
00:24:45.65\00:24:47.48
We live in a day and age.
00:24:47.52\00:24:48.85
I don't know.
00:24:48.88\00:24:50.42
I don't know how.
00:24:50.45\00:24:51.95
I don't know how
tattooing became so popular.
00:24:51.99\00:24:56.02
We're gonna talk about that too.
00:24:56.06\00:24:57.73
But today,
00:24:57.76\00:25:01.16
you could read
people as they walk by you.
00:25:01.20\00:25:04.13
They got messages on their neck,
00:25:04.17\00:25:06.27
they got messages
on their forehead,
00:25:06.30\00:25:08.30
they got messages on their arms.
00:25:08.34\00:25:10.24
Some young ladies,
they were short shirts
00:25:10.27\00:25:12.61
and they got a message on
their back, on their tummy.
00:25:12.64\00:25:15.44
Some people wear shorts,
00:25:15.48\00:25:16.81
they got a message
going down their leg.
00:25:16.85\00:25:18.51
They got faces everywhere,
they got symbols and signs.
00:25:18.55\00:25:22.25
And it's like, it's almost like,
00:25:22.28\00:25:24.95
"Lord, if you had
made me with these things,
00:25:24.99\00:25:27.46
I wouldn't have to have
made alterations to the body."
00:25:27.49\00:25:31.09
And so the world pushes us
00:25:31.13\00:25:32.59
in a direction
completely different,
00:25:32.63\00:25:34.26
not recognizing that our
bodies are the temple of God,
00:25:34.30\00:25:39.33
where the spirit dwells.
00:25:39.37\00:25:40.70
Now, how would you like
to wake up in the morning
00:25:40.74\00:25:43.20
and find your
house spray painted?
00:25:43.24\00:25:46.17
Who would like that?
00:25:46.21\00:25:48.28
Graffiti, your car
wrapped in toilet paper?
00:25:48.31\00:25:51.28
That's happened to people.
00:25:51.31\00:25:52.65
They do that around Halloween?
00:25:52.68\00:25:54.02
We don't, we don't
celebrate Halloween.
00:25:54.05\00:25:56.38
But how would you like
to wake up in the morning
00:25:56.42\00:25:58.02
and see your car spray painted,
your house spray painted?
00:25:58.05\00:26:00.56
People paint
things on your lawn.
00:26:00.59\00:26:03.49
You'll say, "Wait a
minute, who did that?"
00:26:03.53\00:26:05.43
And I could almost imagine,
00:26:05.46\00:26:06.80
sometimes the
Lord is looking down,
00:26:06.83\00:26:08.23
looking at the
people of the world.
00:26:08.26\00:26:10.60
And I'm going to sadly say,
sometimes looking at Christians
00:26:10.63\00:26:13.57
who follow the
impressions of the world,
00:26:13.60\00:26:15.54
who sometimes
forget that the body,
00:26:15.57\00:26:18.01
both inside and
out, belongs to the Lord.
00:26:18.04\00:26:20.28
So write the answer down.
00:26:20.31\00:26:22.21
What principle
governs our responsibility
00:26:22.24\00:26:24.08
concerning our bodies?
00:26:24.11\00:26:25.48
What?
00:26:25.51\00:26:26.85
Glorify God, glorify God
00:26:26.88\00:26:29.62
in your body and in your spirit,
00:26:29.65\00:26:31.72
glorify Him.
00:26:31.75\00:26:33.19
The principle is...
00:26:33.22\00:26:34.56
Our body is what?
00:26:34.59\00:26:35.92
His temple.
00:26:35.96\00:26:37.76
All right.
00:26:37.79\00:26:39.23
Okay.
00:26:39.26\00:26:40.73
Let's go to question number two.
00:26:40.76\00:26:42.96
Question number two.
00:26:43.00\00:26:46.67
How important is our stewardship
00:26:46.70\00:26:49.54
towards our bodies?
00:26:49.57\00:26:51.67
I know we'll
answer by saying, what?
00:26:51.71\00:26:53.88
Very important, right?
00:26:53.91\00:26:55.81
How important
is our stewardship?
00:26:55.84\00:26:57.61
Very important.
00:26:57.65\00:26:59.21
Parents sometimes get upset,
and I don't have any children,
00:26:59.25\00:27:02.52
but I have heard the
stories where parents have said,
00:27:02.55\00:27:05.22
the first time they
give their son or daughter
00:27:05.25\00:27:07.39
the keys to the car, they said,
00:27:07.42\00:27:08.76
"Okay, I want you
to bring this car back
00:27:08.79\00:27:11.43
the same way I'm
giving it to you.
00:27:11.46\00:27:13.60
I don't want any scratches,
I don't want any dents,
00:27:13.63\00:27:17.10
I don't want nothing broken.
00:27:17.13\00:27:19.37
I want you to bring this car
back home tonight at 9:01 sharp
00:27:19.40\00:27:23.81
with nothing messed up."
00:27:23.84\00:27:25.74
And I can almost hear
the Lord saying sometimes,
00:27:25.77\00:27:28.28
"When I gave you a body,
00:27:28.31\00:27:30.78
I want you to bring it
back the same way I gave you."
00:27:30.81\00:27:34.45
But to our dismay, and
surely not to His surprise,
00:27:34.48\00:27:38.65
the world has gone
00:27:38.69\00:27:40.02
in a completely
different direction
00:27:40.06\00:27:41.82
than what the Lord
has told us to follow.
00:27:41.86\00:27:45.66
Okay, I want you
to see this one now.
00:27:45.69\00:27:48.56
All right, and
actually on question number 31.
00:27:48.60\00:27:51.80
Go to 1 Corinthians Chapter 3.
00:27:51.83\00:27:53.94
I didn't change the text.
00:27:53.97\00:27:55.70
My intention was to do that
but I didn't change the text,
00:27:55.74\00:27:58.17
but the guys will
have it on the screen
00:27:58.21\00:27:59.71
or the young lady,
whoever's running the graphics.
00:27:59.74\00:28:02.01
It's 1 Corinthians 3:16-17.
00:28:02.04\00:28:05.85
1 Corinthians 3:16-17, right?
00:28:05.88\00:28:10.59
I got a phone call when I
was doing question number two,
00:28:10.62\00:28:13.32
and surely I pick up the phone.
00:28:13.36\00:28:15.86
Question number
two didn't get altered,
00:28:15.89\00:28:17.36
but you will have
the correct answer.
00:28:17.39\00:28:19.19
How important is our stewardship
00:28:19.23\00:28:21.06
toward our bodies?
00:28:21.10\00:28:22.43
Let's look at the
scripture together.
00:28:22.46\00:28:23.83
It'll appear on the
screen for all of you
00:28:23.87\00:28:25.30
and even for those of you here.
00:28:25.33\00:28:26.87
Together, it says, "Do
you not know that you're...
00:28:26.90\00:28:29.54
That you are the temple of God
00:28:29.57\00:28:33.27
and that the Spirit
of God dwells," where?
00:28:33.31\00:28:36.61
"In you?" And this is powerful.
00:28:36.64\00:28:38.88
"If anyone," does what?
00:28:38.91\00:28:40.45
"Defiles the temple
of God, God will," what?
00:28:40.48\00:28:44.22
"Destroy him.
00:28:44.25\00:28:45.59
For the temple of God is
holy, which temple ye are."
00:28:45.62\00:28:49.59
I remember growing
up in New York City,
00:28:49.62\00:28:51.09
so you want to
write the answer down,
00:28:51.13\00:28:52.46
how important
is our stewardship?
00:28:52.49\00:28:54.83
It's a holy stewardship.
00:28:54.86\00:28:57.53
It's a holy stewardship.
00:28:57.57\00:29:01.04
It's what?
00:29:01.07\00:29:02.40
Holy.
00:29:02.44\00:29:03.77
Handle things that are holy.
00:29:03.81\00:29:05.14
I remember growing up
in Brooklyn, New York.
00:29:05.17\00:29:08.38
And I know times
have changed drastically.
00:29:08.41\00:29:10.78
I don't know if
this happens any longer.
00:29:10.81\00:29:12.88
But I remember,
00:29:12.91\00:29:14.42
you know, sometimes,
even the guys that are,
00:29:14.45\00:29:17.32
even the guys
that drink alcohol,
00:29:17.35\00:29:20.22
they'd walk past the church
00:29:20.26\00:29:21.59
and they'd hide the
bottle behind their backs.
00:29:21.62\00:29:25.13
Like, "I don't
want the pastor..."
00:29:25.16\00:29:26.73
While they will
walk past the church,
00:29:26.76\00:29:28.10
and they'll tip their
hat, take their hat off,
00:29:28.13\00:29:30.17
and when they pass the church,
they'll put their hat back on.
00:29:30.20\00:29:32.77
It's like there was a time
when holy things were honored.
00:29:32.80\00:29:36.24
But those days seem
to have long been gone
00:29:36.27\00:29:39.57
because we're not
living in a holy generation.
00:29:39.61\00:29:43.14
This world is anything but holy.
00:29:43.18\00:29:44.98
The things that people
do are anything but holy.
00:29:45.01\00:29:47.42
When we consider that
our body belongs to God,
00:29:47.45\00:29:50.79
He wants us to not defile it
because the end result will be,
00:29:50.82\00:29:55.02
God doesn't want
anyone in this kingdom
00:29:55.06\00:29:57.73
that dishonors the
very body He gives them.
00:29:57.76\00:30:00.20
If we dishonor it here,
00:30:00.23\00:30:01.90
and we don't acknowledge
Him as our Lord and Savior here,
00:30:01.93\00:30:04.33
what makes you think
00:30:04.37\00:30:05.70
we're going to
honor Him in heaven?
00:30:05.73\00:30:07.40
And here's the key.
00:30:07.44\00:30:09.00
If we can't follow
God's instruction here
00:30:09.04\00:30:11.94
and refuse to
follow His principles here,
00:30:11.97\00:30:14.68
then He would not
admit us in His Kingdom
00:30:14.71\00:30:17.45
because that cannot
continue in eternity.
00:30:17.48\00:30:20.15
Only those things that...
00:30:20.18\00:30:21.52
Matter of fact, go with
me to Revelation Chapter 22.
00:30:21.55\00:30:24.85
Revelation Chapter 22.
00:30:24.89\00:30:28.02
Okay.
00:30:28.06\00:30:29.76
Okay.
00:30:33.19\00:30:36.13
And
00:30:36.16\00:30:37.80
look together
00:30:42.07\00:30:44.54
at
00:30:44.57\00:30:46.54
Revelation Chapter 22,
00:30:49.81\00:30:51.65
look at verse 15,
00:30:51.68\00:30:54.58
verse 15, all right?
00:30:54.62\00:30:57.49
Okay.
00:30:57.52\00:30:58.85
It talks about all
the other practices
00:30:58.89\00:31:00.76
that will not be
allowed in the kingdom.
00:31:00.79\00:31:02.89
It says, "But outside
are dogs, and sorcerers,
00:31:02.92\00:31:06.16
and sexually
immoral, and murderers,
00:31:06.19\00:31:08.86
and idolaters,
and whoever loves,
00:31:08.90\00:31:11.63
and does," what?
00:31:11.67\00:31:13.44
"Practices a lie."
00:31:13.47\00:31:15.40
Some says maketh a lie.
00:31:15.44\00:31:17.21
So all those things that are
00:31:17.24\00:31:19.61
not going to be
allowed in the Lord's Kingdom.
00:31:19.64\00:31:21.74
Look at verse 11.
00:31:21.78\00:31:23.14
It says, "He who is
unjust, let him be unjust still,
00:31:23.18\00:31:26.05
he who is filthy,
let him be," what?
00:31:26.08\00:31:29.02
"Filthy still."
00:31:29.05\00:31:30.82
So you'll see that
00:31:30.85\00:31:32.29
only the righteous and the
holy are going to be allowed in,
00:31:32.32\00:31:36.49
not the unjust and the filthy.
00:31:36.52\00:31:40.00
And the Bible also
goes to point out that
00:31:40.03\00:31:41.90
nothing will
enter in that defiles,
00:31:41.93\00:31:45.53
nothing that defiles
is going to be entered in.
00:31:45.57\00:31:48.77
Now, I don't know if
you thought about this,
00:31:48.80\00:31:50.14
but let's think about
this for a brief moment.
00:31:50.17\00:31:51.51
Let's put our caps on.
00:31:51.54\00:31:55.08
Are we going to eat
meat at all in heaven?
00:31:55.11\00:31:57.65
Yes or no?
00:31:57.68\00:31:59.01
No. No.
00:31:59.05\00:32:00.38
How long we're
going to be up there?
00:32:00.42\00:32:01.75
Somebody tell me.
00:32:01.78\00:32:03.12
A thousand years
before we return to the earth
00:32:03.15\00:32:06.45
and then the final
sin problem is dealt with
00:32:06.49\00:32:08.79
as Revelation
Chapter 20 and 21 describes.
00:32:08.82\00:32:13.53
There's nobody
going to be taken a rifle
00:32:13.56\00:32:15.83
to heaven hunting down a hog.
00:32:15.86\00:32:19.60
There he is,
00:32:19.63\00:32:20.97
there he is running
up New Jerusalem Street.
00:32:21.00\00:32:24.24
It's not going to happen.
00:32:24.27\00:32:25.97
And so a lot of people
don't think that in heaven,
00:32:26.01\00:32:29.48
there will be no
killing of animals,
00:32:29.51\00:32:32.11
no death, and by the way,
00:32:32.15\00:32:34.55
I want to also
bring this out clearly,
00:32:34.58\00:32:37.12
animals are going
to be in the new earth.
00:32:37.15\00:32:40.39
Animals, horses, elephants,
00:32:40.42\00:32:43.19
all those things that
God populated the earth with
00:32:43.22\00:32:46.53
will be in the new earth.
00:32:46.56\00:32:47.90
There's going to be no hunting.
00:32:47.93\00:32:49.46
We're going to be
fruitarians and vegetarians
00:32:49.50\00:32:52.50
in the kingdom of the Lord.
00:32:52.53\00:32:53.97
We're going to have
the best diet, amen?
00:32:54.00\00:32:56.87
We're going to
have the clean diet.
00:32:56.91\00:32:58.31
And so when we
begin to establish,
00:32:58.34\00:33:00.14
there is a pattern
00:33:00.18\00:33:01.51
that the Lord
doesn't want us to follow.
00:33:01.54\00:33:03.11
As you answered
question number two,
00:33:03.14\00:33:04.81
how important is our stewardship
00:33:04.85\00:33:06.18
towards our bodies?
00:33:06.21\00:33:07.55
God does not want us
to defile His temple.
00:33:07.58\00:33:10.55
Let's go to the third one.
00:33:10.59\00:33:12.25
Question number
three, question number three.
00:33:12.29\00:33:15.39
And we're laying
down principles right now.
00:33:15.42\00:33:18.03
What are we laying down?
00:33:18.06\00:33:19.43
Principles.
00:33:19.46\00:33:20.80
Principles apply
on a broad scale.
00:33:20.83\00:33:22.36
Matter of fact, if
you apply principles,
00:33:22.40\00:33:24.63
you can apply these principles
to any culture, any culture.
00:33:24.67\00:33:28.54
All right, here it is.
00:33:28.57\00:33:29.90
Number three.
00:33:29.94\00:33:31.27
What instruction are we given
00:33:31.31\00:33:32.64
concerning the
care of our bodies?
00:33:32.67\00:33:36.61
What instruction are we given
00:33:36.64\00:33:38.41
concerning the
care of our bodies?
00:33:38.45\00:33:43.22
Romans 12:1-2.
00:33:43.25\00:33:46.22
Another indelible,
everlasting principle.
00:33:46.25\00:33:49.49
Here it is, all right?
00:33:49.52\00:33:53.50
Once again, the
writer is the Apostle Paul,
00:33:53.53\00:33:56.06
and he begins with an urgency.
00:33:56.10\00:33:58.13
Notice how he says it,
00:33:58.17\00:33:59.50
he says, "I beseech
you, therefore," what?
00:33:59.53\00:34:03.37
"I beseech you, therefore,
brethren," Romans 12:1, 2,
00:34:03.41\00:34:06.88
"by the mercies of God,
that you present your," what?
00:34:06.91\00:34:11.38
"Bodies," look at the screen,
"that you present your bodies,"
00:34:11.41\00:34:14.52
a what kind of sacrifice?
00:34:14.55\00:34:16.28
"Living sacrifice."
00:34:16.32\00:34:18.65
Together, what else?
00:34:18.69\00:34:20.26
"Holy,
acceptable to," who? "God."
00:34:20.29\00:34:23.83
Now I don't want to go,
00:34:23.86\00:34:25.19
"which is your
reasonable," what? "Service."
00:34:25.23\00:34:27.76
And let's look at the next text.
00:34:27.80\00:34:29.80
"And do not be
conformed to," what?
00:34:29.83\00:34:32.67
"This world, but be," what?
00:34:32.70\00:34:35.74
"Transformed by the
renewing of your mind,
00:34:35.77\00:34:39.14
that you may
prove what is that good,
00:34:39.17\00:34:41.71
and acceptable, and," what else?
00:34:41.74\00:34:43.95
"Perfect will of God."
00:34:43.98\00:34:45.71
Now we went past those texts,
00:34:45.75\00:34:47.18
I want to go back and
emphasize a couple of things
00:34:47.22\00:34:48.85
that were there.
00:34:48.88\00:34:50.22
First of all, it says,
00:34:50.25\00:34:54.32
holy, acceptable to God.
00:34:54.36\00:34:57.33
If we live our
lives with thought
00:34:57.36\00:34:59.49
that we want to
be acceptable to God
00:34:59.53\00:35:01.46
in the way we
present our bodies,
00:35:01.50\00:35:03.06
then we'll have a,
what kind of standard?
00:35:03.10\00:35:04.73
A high standard or low standard?
00:35:04.77\00:35:06.23
Which one?
00:35:06.27\00:35:07.60
A high standard because who can
set a standard higher than God.
00:35:07.64\00:35:12.07
So if we decide
to live our lives
00:35:12.11\00:35:13.98
where we present
our bodies to God
00:35:14.01\00:35:15.84
is our standard,
excellent or poor?
00:35:15.88\00:35:18.95
Excellent.
00:35:18.98\00:35:20.32
And we'll always be striving
00:35:20.35\00:35:21.78
for that which is
higher than our thoughts.
00:35:21.82\00:35:25.02
We want to do things
that are acceptable to God.
00:35:25.05\00:35:27.29
But then, we got
to think differently
00:35:27.32\00:35:29.32
because the world says,
00:35:29.36\00:35:30.83
"Live this way, dress
this way, eat this way."
00:35:30.86\00:35:34.73
And God says, "Live this way,
dress this way, eat this way."
00:35:34.76\00:35:38.93
And literally
there are only two roads.
00:35:38.97\00:35:40.60
How many roads?
00:35:40.64\00:35:41.97
Two.
00:35:42.00\00:35:43.34
One of health, and life,
00:35:43.37\00:35:44.71
and strength, and righteousness.
00:35:44.74\00:35:46.27
One of sicknesses, disease,
and suffering, and immorality.
00:35:46.31\00:35:50.28
And my wife said,
"One that is smoking,
00:35:50.31\00:35:54.05
one that's nonsmoking."
00:35:54.08\00:35:56.62
And at the end of the road,
00:35:56.65\00:35:57.99
that's the only
two seats we have.
00:35:58.02\00:35:59.35
The smoking seat,
and the nonsmoking seat.
00:35:59.39\00:36:01.59
What seat do you want to sit in?
00:36:01.62\00:36:02.96
Come on, help me out?
00:36:02.99\00:36:04.33
The nonsmoking seat.
00:36:04.36\00:36:05.69
Christians will be fireproof
by the righteousness of God.
00:36:05.73\00:36:09.26
But you have to
live the life now.
00:36:09.30\00:36:12.07
And somebody may say,
"Well, why is it so important
00:36:12.10\00:36:14.34
how we live our lives?"
00:36:14.37\00:36:15.70
You know, you're
making a decision
00:36:15.74\00:36:17.17
about how you want to
live eternally, right?
00:36:17.21\00:36:20.18
If every time I gave
you a car, you messed it up,
00:36:20.21\00:36:22.91
would I give you another car?
00:36:22.94\00:36:26.78
That should have
been a resounding no.
00:36:26.82\00:36:28.15
Would I give you another car?
00:36:28.18\00:36:29.52
No! No.
00:36:29.55\00:36:30.89
If every time you
bought your children something,
00:36:30.92\00:36:32.35
they smash it, they
throw it against the wall,
00:36:32.39\00:36:34.56
would you go out
and buy another one?
00:36:34.59\00:36:36.49
Absolutely not.
00:36:36.52\00:36:38.33
Parents are not foolish.
00:36:38.36\00:36:40.06
We are not foolish.
00:36:40.10\00:36:41.43
God is not going to say,
00:36:41.46\00:36:42.80
"Well, you know,
00:36:42.83\00:36:44.17
since you've expressed such
dissatisfaction for My plan,
00:36:44.20\00:36:46.80
why don't you
come and live with Me?
00:36:46.84\00:36:48.84
The last place people want to be
00:36:48.87\00:36:50.91
is the place
where the principles
00:36:50.94\00:36:52.44
and the guidelines
are completely opposite
00:36:52.47\00:36:54.21
of the way they live.
00:36:54.24\00:36:56.14
So this idea that everybody dies
00:36:56.18\00:36:57.65
and goes to heaven is so untrue.
00:36:57.68\00:37:00.18
Because to put a
sinner in heaven is like,
00:37:00.22\00:37:01.78
it's worst than putting.
00:37:01.82\00:37:05.95
I can't even
think of a comparison.
00:37:05.99\00:37:09.62
To put a sinner in heaven
will be like hell for them
00:37:09.66\00:37:12.89
because they don't want
to live that kind of life.
00:37:12.93\00:37:15.86
So the Lord wants us
to get ready for heaven,
00:37:15.90\00:37:18.00
not the day before He comes
00:37:18.03\00:37:20.77
because we don't
know when that is.
00:37:20.80\00:37:22.47
But He wants us to be an example
00:37:22.50\00:37:24.31
of what the
kingdom life is going to be
00:37:24.34\00:37:25.97
by how we live
now, is that okay?
00:37:26.01\00:37:28.48
Let's go to the next one.
00:37:28.51\00:37:29.84
And so don't be
conformed is the answer,
00:37:29.88\00:37:32.85
be transformed by
renewing your mind.
00:37:32.88\00:37:38.19
Very good example, honey.
00:37:38.22\00:37:39.75
The three Hebrews, we
didn't talk about them,
00:37:39.79\00:37:41.46
but the three
Hebrews were in Babylon,
00:37:41.49\00:37:44.89
and Daniel particularly
refused to defile himself
00:37:44.93\00:37:50.30
with the king's meat
00:37:50.33\00:37:52.13
and the wine
which the king drank.
00:37:52.17\00:37:55.24
And when he was
given 10 days to be tested,
00:37:55.27\00:37:58.24
read the story
there in Daniel 1.
00:37:58.27\00:38:00.11
When he was given
10 days to be tested,
00:38:00.14\00:38:03.04
just in 10 days,
00:38:03.08\00:38:04.41
the intellect of the Hebrews
were far superior to that
00:38:04.45\00:38:08.68
of the Babylonians.
00:38:08.72\00:38:10.25
Their intellect and their health
00:38:10.29\00:38:11.85
was far greater because
they applied the principles
00:38:11.89\00:38:14.62
that are found in God's Word.
00:38:14.66\00:38:16.29
And they practiced that.
00:38:16.32\00:38:17.86
So when they got to
Babylon, here's the key.
00:38:17.89\00:38:19.76
If you practice
living righteously,
00:38:19.79\00:38:21.36
eating righteously,
dressing according to scripture,
00:38:21.40\00:38:24.20
when you're at home,
00:38:24.23\00:38:25.57
you're not going
to change your habits
00:38:25.60\00:38:26.94
when you leave home, right?
00:38:26.97\00:38:29.04
Train up a child in
the way they should go.
00:38:29.07\00:38:30.51
And when they are
old, they will not, what?
00:38:30.54\00:38:32.77
They won't depart from it.
00:38:32.81\00:38:34.84
Thank you for that example.
00:38:34.88\00:38:36.54
My wife gives me Bible studies
when I'm giving Bible studies.
00:38:36.58\00:38:40.45
Number four, number four.
00:38:40.48\00:38:43.32
Now we're going
to start diving in.
00:38:43.35\00:38:44.99
How does the Bible describe
00:38:45.02\00:38:48.02
the process that
influences our actions?
00:38:48.06\00:38:51.53
There's a process that
influences our actions.
00:38:51.56\00:38:54.93
This is a huge question
and a very profound scripture.
00:38:54.96\00:38:59.43
2 Corinthians 3:18.
00:38:59.47\00:39:02.87
2 Corinthians 3:18.
00:39:02.90\00:39:05.34
It's amazing.
00:39:05.37\00:39:06.71
You may wonder
00:39:06.74\00:39:09.04
how people get the way they are.
00:39:09.08\00:39:10.98
I remember fads.
00:39:14.02\00:39:15.38
Does anybody
remember what a fad is?
00:39:15.42\00:39:18.65
Some of the young people,
00:39:18.69\00:39:20.02
they call it
something different,
00:39:20.06\00:39:21.39
trends, fashions,
whatever the word may be.
00:39:21.42\00:39:24.13
But somebody, all
somebody has to do is,
00:39:24.16\00:39:26.26
I don't know who
started the spike,
00:39:26.29\00:39:27.73
the spike here, it's fad.
00:39:27.76\00:39:29.60
We never know who
started, but all of a sudden,
00:39:29.63\00:39:31.67
you know, we get
to the generation
00:39:31.70\00:39:33.03
where
everybody's wearing spikes.
00:39:33.07\00:39:35.10
In our day, growing up
with one pant leg rolled up,
00:39:35.14\00:39:39.91
men with high heels.
00:39:39.94\00:39:41.98
And then in this
generation are the faddest guys
00:39:42.01\00:39:44.21
with their pants
down to their knees.
00:39:44.25\00:39:46.85
All these crazy fads
00:39:46.88\00:39:48.92
that don't come
from God's Word, amen?
00:39:48.95\00:39:54.26
But the world can
make you look so foolish.
00:39:54.29\00:39:57.89
And in the eyes of the world,
00:39:57.93\00:40:00.13
that's why I like where it says
00:40:00.16\00:40:01.50
being transformed by
the renewing of your mind.
00:40:01.53\00:40:02.93
In the eyes of the world,
00:40:02.96\00:40:04.30
they look at some famous person,
00:40:04.33\00:40:05.70
some guy that's
making a lot of money
00:40:05.73\00:40:07.07
or some woman that's
making a lot of money
00:40:07.10\00:40:08.84
that's hardly dressed or
that's dressed ridiculously.
00:40:08.87\00:40:12.37
Like my wife
said a few days ago.
00:40:12.41\00:40:13.74
She says, "This
is the generation,
00:40:13.78\00:40:15.28
well, the more
messed up your hair is,
00:40:15.31\00:40:17.25
the more in style you are."
00:40:17.28\00:40:19.65
Just wake up in the
morning and run out the door.
00:40:19.68\00:40:21.82
Look like you just
landed from a tornado,
00:40:21.85\00:40:24.95
and you are in style.
00:40:24.99\00:40:26.32
You don't even have to dress up.
00:40:26.35\00:40:28.49
That's the kind of
generation we're in.
00:40:28.52\00:40:30.23
A generation
that is out of order,
00:40:30.26\00:40:32.69
not in harmony with God's
Word, but how does it happen?
00:40:32.73\00:40:35.56
Look at this scripture.
00:40:35.60\00:40:37.37
2 Corinthians
3:18, the Bible says,
00:40:37.40\00:40:40.77
"But we, with unveiled faces,"
00:40:40.80\00:40:44.47
meaning there's no more blockage
00:40:44.51\00:40:46.41
in front of us,
00:40:46.44\00:40:48.14
"beholding as in a
mirror the glory of the Lord,
00:40:48.18\00:40:53.75
are being," what?
00:40:53.78\00:40:55.92
"Transformed into the same image
00:40:55.95\00:40:59.22
from glory to glory,
00:40:59.25\00:41:01.16
just as by the
Spirit of the Lord."
00:41:01.19\00:41:05.63
Now as that
scripture disappears,
00:41:05.66\00:41:07.33
I want to point out a
couple of patterns here,
00:41:07.36\00:41:09.30
a couple of very
important things.
00:41:09.33\00:41:11.23
Now notice some of the words,
00:41:11.27\00:41:12.87
beholding in a mirror
and being transformed.
00:41:12.90\00:41:16.40
Beholding.
00:41:16.44\00:41:17.77
Have you heard
the phrase behold,
00:41:17.81\00:41:19.27
by beholding we become changed.
00:41:19.31\00:41:23.55
If you look at
something long enough
00:41:23.58\00:41:26.55
and admire
something long enough,
00:41:26.58\00:41:29.65
just a matter of time,
00:41:29.68\00:41:32.19
you're going to
start emulating that thing
00:41:32.22\00:41:33.89
that you focus
your attention on,
00:41:33.92\00:41:36.09
your mind on.
00:41:36.12\00:41:37.46
That's why all you've
got to do to change a society
00:41:37.49\00:41:41.93
is decide what kind of programs
you want them to watch, right?
00:41:41.96\00:41:47.54
In our society,
00:41:47.57\00:41:48.90
the way they seek to
push the LGBTIAQ agenda
00:41:48.94\00:41:53.07
is by putting
that kind of program
00:41:53.11\00:41:54.54
on television,
00:41:54.58\00:41:55.91
and they title
it the new normal.
00:41:55.94\00:41:58.45
So if I keep saying that a
corrupt lifestyle is normal,
00:41:58.48\00:42:02.18
after a while everybody
starts thinking it's normal.
00:42:02.22\00:42:05.55
If I teach it in
schools, as though it's new,
00:42:05.59\00:42:09.16
modern family, in
other phrase, modern family,
00:42:09.19\00:42:12.59
husband, two
husbands, two wives.
00:42:12.63\00:42:15.76
If I teach that
as the new normal,
00:42:15.80\00:42:17.77
and the modern
family, all of a sudden,
00:42:17.80\00:42:20.67
there's a whole
generation coming up
00:42:20.70\00:42:22.57
that think that that's the way
00:42:22.60\00:42:23.94
that God always
intended it to be.
00:42:23.97\00:42:25.87
I remember talking
to a young lady one day,
00:42:25.91\00:42:28.68
and I'll be very
vague about this.
00:42:28.71\00:42:32.28
But I remember my wife
telling this young lady that,
00:42:32.31\00:42:35.02
"Do you know that
it's not in the...
00:42:35.05\00:42:38.05
God does not support
people living together?"
00:42:38.09\00:42:41.09
She said, "I never knew that.
00:42:41.12\00:42:43.26
I never knew that that
was against God's Word,
00:42:43.29\00:42:45.76
that a man and a woman
should not live together
00:42:45.79\00:42:47.60
until they're married.
00:42:47.63\00:42:48.96
I never knew that. Really?
00:42:49.00\00:42:50.37
Where does it say
that in the scriptures?"
00:42:50.40\00:42:51.93
And my wife
pointed it out to her.
00:42:51.97\00:42:55.14
So there are people
that don't look at the Bible,
00:42:55.17\00:42:56.81
don't read the Bible.
00:42:56.84\00:42:58.17
They get their
point of reference
00:42:58.21\00:42:59.54
by beholding the
world, they are transformed.
00:42:59.57\00:43:02.58
By looking at
what the world does,
00:43:02.61\00:43:04.38
they are transformed.
00:43:04.41\00:43:05.75
And so the world
sets the pattern,
00:43:05.78\00:43:07.25
and so many people
00:43:07.28\00:43:08.62
that don't have
a reference guide,
00:43:08.65\00:43:09.98
which is God's Word,
00:43:10.02\00:43:12.22
they are being transformed.
00:43:12.25\00:43:13.59
And to them, it's normal.
00:43:13.62\00:43:16.39
So when you give them the book,
00:43:16.42\00:43:17.93
when their
hearts are turned to God
00:43:17.96\00:43:19.29
and they begin to embrace
00:43:19.33\00:43:20.66
what God's Word says,
00:43:20.70\00:43:22.03
another
transformation takes place.
00:43:22.06\00:43:24.30
They are
transformed from glory to glory.
00:43:24.33\00:43:28.70
Amen to that.
00:43:28.74\00:43:30.64
Only as God's Word
comes into our lives
00:43:30.67\00:43:33.07
can we be
transformed from glory to glory.
00:43:33.11\00:43:35.94
But if we look at the world,
00:43:35.98\00:43:37.31
we're transformed from
darkness to even more darkness
00:43:37.35\00:43:40.28
because we're
just simply following
00:43:40.32\00:43:41.72
somebody else's pattern.
00:43:41.75\00:43:43.08
I once said,
00:43:43.12\00:43:44.75
"How can you be an original
00:43:44.79\00:43:47.22
if you're following
what everybody else does?"
00:43:47.26\00:43:52.06
Did you know that every
one of us is an original?
00:43:52.09\00:43:54.10
Did you know that?
00:43:54.13\00:43:55.66
Don't live a life that's a copy.
00:43:55.70\00:43:58.10
If you aren't
original, be original for Jesus.
00:43:58.13\00:44:00.97
Amen to that.
00:44:01.00\00:44:02.34
Don't be a copy.
00:44:02.37\00:44:04.37
Okay, now we're diving in.
00:44:04.41\00:44:06.68
Here we are, we
laid some foundation.
00:44:06.71\00:44:08.24
Now we're going to dive in.
00:44:08.28\00:44:09.81
Let's look at some
of these scriptures
00:44:09.84\00:44:11.61
in its actual application.
00:44:11.65\00:44:13.62
Question number five.
00:44:13.65\00:44:15.18
What was the result
of the fall of humanity
00:44:15.22\00:44:19.72
in the Garden of Eden?
00:44:19.75\00:44:22.22
What was the result?
00:44:22.26\00:44:23.59
Go with me to
Genesis 3:7, Genesis 3:7,
00:44:23.63\00:44:28.43
what was the result
of the fall of humanity
00:44:28.46\00:44:31.93
in the Garden of Eden?
00:44:31.97\00:44:33.47
Okay, I could simply
say of the man and the woman
00:44:33.50\00:44:35.40
because they were
humanity in a nutshell,
00:44:35.44\00:44:38.37
just two people.
00:44:38.41\00:44:40.88
Okay.
00:44:40.91\00:44:42.34
What was the result
of the fall of humanity
00:44:42.38\00:44:47.05
in the Garden of Eden?
00:44:47.08\00:44:48.85
Genesis Chapter 3, this is huge.
00:44:48.88\00:44:51.29
You know, the devil
said when they sinned,
00:44:51.32\00:44:52.75
their eyes will be opened.
00:44:52.79\00:44:54.19
Now let me make a point.
00:44:54.22\00:44:56.42
When your eyes are open,
do you see or do you not see?
00:44:56.46\00:44:59.69
Which one, somebody tell me?
00:44:59.73\00:45:01.06
See.
00:45:01.10\00:45:02.43
Okay, if your
eyes are open, you see.
00:45:02.46\00:45:03.80
Now...
00:45:03.83\00:45:06.94
And we'll get to this later on.
00:45:06.97\00:45:10.21
God does not want us to see evil
00:45:10.24\00:45:14.04
before we decide
whether evil is good or not.
00:45:14.08\00:45:17.58
There are certain things
that you don't have to see,
00:45:17.61\00:45:19.91
you got to simply trust
00:45:19.95\00:45:21.28
that God said
it's not good, right?
00:45:21.32\00:45:23.28
Ain't that right?
00:45:23.32\00:45:24.65
Sometimes you say, don't
look, and what do people do?
00:45:24.69\00:45:27.52
Look.
00:45:27.56\00:45:29.39
Sometimes you say,
look, and what do they do?
00:45:29.42\00:45:31.13
Not look.
00:45:31.16\00:45:32.49
Look out, and
they're staring right at you.
00:45:32.53\00:45:34.33
You say, "Look."
And they're not looking.
00:45:34.36\00:45:36.26
You say, "Don't
look." And they look.
00:45:36.30\00:45:38.00
That's just exactly how we are.
00:45:38.03\00:45:40.17
God says...
00:45:40.20\00:45:41.94
Exactly, Lot's wife.
00:45:41.97\00:45:43.30
Don't look back,
and exactly what she do?
00:45:43.34\00:45:44.67
Looks back,
00:45:44.71\00:45:46.04
becomes the first
human salt shaker.
00:45:46.07\00:45:49.14
We are opposite to instruction.
00:45:49.18\00:45:50.61
God says, "Don't
do what happens."
00:45:50.65\00:45:52.58
We do.
00:45:52.61\00:45:53.95
But look at what happened.
00:45:53.98\00:45:55.32
God said to Adam and Eve,
00:45:55.35\00:45:56.82
"Don't eat of
that forbidden tree,"
00:45:56.85\00:45:59.02
and they did and
look at the result.
00:45:59.05\00:46:02.46
Genesis 3:7, the Bible says,
00:46:02.49\00:46:05.19
"Then the eyes of
both of them were," what?
00:46:05.23\00:46:08.56
"Opened, and they
knew that they were," what?
00:46:08.60\00:46:12.30
"Naked, and they sewed
fig leaves together and made,"
00:46:12.33\00:46:16.57
what?
00:46:16.60\00:46:17.94
"Made themselves coverings."
00:46:17.97\00:46:20.81
That's the huge part.
00:46:20.84\00:46:22.38
They made themselves covering.
00:46:22.41\00:46:26.05
That is the first
garment designed by humanity.
00:46:26.08\00:46:29.52
Adam and Eve
made the first garment
00:46:29.55\00:46:32.25
designed by humanity.
00:46:32.29\00:46:35.56
What did they make?
00:46:35.59\00:46:37.13
What did they make?
00:46:37.16\00:46:38.49
Go to verse 10.
00:46:38.53\00:46:39.86
What do they make?
00:46:39.89\00:46:41.23
Well, actually,
what do they say?
00:46:41.26\00:46:43.93
Okay.
00:46:43.97\00:46:45.30
Matter of fact, we
just read the text.
00:46:45.33\00:46:46.67
What kind of
garment did they make?
00:46:46.70\00:46:48.04
Look at this. It's in the text.
00:46:48.07\00:46:49.40
What kind of
garment did they make?
00:46:49.44\00:46:51.37
Fig leaves, fig leaves.
00:46:51.41\00:46:53.84
They made fig leaves.
00:46:53.88\00:46:55.31
Now I want to just go
and make some application.
00:46:55.34\00:46:57.55
They knew that they were
naked and they made fig leaves.
00:46:57.58\00:47:01.38
Now when they made fig leaves,
00:47:01.42\00:47:02.88
I don't know if
you've seen a fig before,
00:47:02.92\00:47:05.25
but their leaves
are not very big.
00:47:05.29\00:47:08.76
Are you tracking
with me like David?
00:47:08.79\00:47:10.23
Are you
tracking, David, as you go?
00:47:10.26\00:47:11.59
Are you tracking?
00:47:11.63\00:47:12.96
Here, are you following?
00:47:12.99\00:47:15.80
This is the society
that dresses with fig leaves?
00:47:15.83\00:47:20.07
Can I get an amen?
00:47:20.10\00:47:21.44
Amen. Amen.
00:47:21.47\00:47:22.80
Lord have mercy.
00:47:22.84\00:47:24.21
I pray for the men every day.
00:47:24.24\00:47:27.28
I've done seminars for men,
00:47:27.31\00:47:28.64
and I know how tough it is
even being a Christian man.
00:47:28.68\00:47:32.65
This is a society that
makes their own clothing.
00:47:32.68\00:47:36.89
They made themselves coverings.
00:47:36.92\00:47:41.32
And this world is in
the habit of making things
00:47:41.36\00:47:44.89
that God never gave
them the pattern for.
00:47:44.93\00:47:48.13
He didn't.
00:47:48.16\00:47:49.50
He didn't make
them a pattern at all.
00:47:49.53\00:47:51.40
Now the question
is when they did that,
00:47:51.43\00:47:53.64
what happened?
00:47:53.67\00:47:55.00
Let's go to the next one.
00:47:55.04\00:47:56.37
Next question.
00:47:56.40\00:47:57.74
Here it is.
00:47:57.77\00:48:00.28
The next question.
00:48:00.31\00:48:01.94
When we are
redeemed, when we are redeemed,
00:48:01.98\00:48:05.98
what provision does
the Lord make for us?
00:48:06.01\00:48:09.45
When we are redeemed,
00:48:09.48\00:48:11.05
what provision does
the Lord make for us?
00:48:11.09\00:48:14.72
And we're going
to go back to Genesis
00:48:14.76\00:48:16.09
in just a moment.
00:48:16.12\00:48:18.39
When we are redeemed,
00:48:18.43\00:48:19.76
what provision does
the Lord make for us?
00:48:19.79\00:48:23.10
Here it is.
00:48:23.13\00:48:24.47
All right, here
it is in verse 18
00:48:24.50\00:48:27.40
of Revelation Chapter 3.
00:48:27.44\00:48:29.20
Here's what He says.
00:48:29.24\00:48:30.97
It's powerful text.
00:48:31.01\00:48:32.87
He says, "I counsel
you to buy from Me," what?
00:48:32.91\00:48:37.78
"Gold refined in the fire,"
that is a righteous character.
00:48:37.81\00:48:41.68
And look at the symbolism
used, "that you may be rich,
00:48:41.72\00:48:44.75
and white garments,
that you may be," what?
00:48:44.79\00:48:48.02
"Clothed," and what reason?
00:48:48.06\00:48:50.83
"That the shame
of your nakedness
00:48:50.86\00:48:55.46
may not be," what?
00:48:55.50\00:48:57.13
"Revealed."
00:48:57.17\00:48:58.50
The Lord doesn't want
00:48:58.53\00:49:00.70
His people to be...?
00:49:00.74\00:49:05.04
Say it, say it, say it.
00:49:05.07\00:49:06.41
Naked. Naked.
00:49:06.44\00:49:08.24
Now, do I need to do a survey?
00:49:08.28\00:49:10.91
Are we living in
a naked generation?
00:49:10.95\00:49:13.28
Absolutely.
00:49:13.31\00:49:16.62
This is the generation
00:49:16.65\00:49:17.99
where the
imagination has been shut off.
00:49:18.02\00:49:20.09
You don't have to
imagine any longer
00:49:20.12\00:49:22.36
because there's nakedness.
00:49:22.39\00:49:25.93
And the sad reality,
00:49:25.96\00:49:27.60
the world has
affected the church.
00:49:27.63\00:49:32.20
There's some magazine articles
that have been written about
00:49:32.23\00:49:34.87
how important it is to
dress when you go to church.
00:49:34.90\00:49:37.24
I've dealt with men
in seminars and they say,
00:49:37.27\00:49:39.51
sometimes you go to churches,
00:49:39.54\00:49:40.94
and the men have issues too
00:49:40.98\00:49:42.91
when it comes
to going to church.
00:49:42.94\00:49:44.28
Some of them dressed
like they're on their way
00:49:44.31\00:49:45.65
to the beach.
00:49:45.68\00:49:47.02
Some of the young
ladies talked about that,
00:49:47.05\00:49:48.38
and down in
Australia, they said.
00:49:48.42\00:49:49.75
Some of these
guys come to church
00:49:49.78\00:49:51.12
like they're going to
go surfing right after that
00:49:51.15\00:49:52.49
with shorts and their T-shirt.
00:49:52.52\00:49:53.86
Their shirts
opened all the way down,
00:49:53.89\00:49:55.22
and they're showing
their unrighteous chest
00:49:55.26\00:49:57.16
rather than remembering that
00:49:57.19\00:49:58.69
they come into the
presence of a Holy God.
00:49:58.73\00:50:01.10
But I tell you,
00:50:01.13\00:50:02.46
the Lord does not want
the shame of our nakedness
00:50:02.50\00:50:05.17
to be revealed.
00:50:05.20\00:50:06.53
God wants us to be what?
00:50:06.57\00:50:08.44
Clothed.
00:50:08.47\00:50:09.80
So let's put that down.
00:50:09.84\00:50:11.17
Revelation Chapter
3, when we are redeemed,
00:50:11.21\00:50:13.84
what provision does
the Lord make for us?
00:50:13.88\00:50:16.64
Garments of righteousness.
00:50:16.68\00:50:19.51
Write that down.
00:50:19.55\00:50:20.88
Garments of righteousness.
00:50:20.92\00:50:23.65
He doesn't want our
nakedness to be revealed.
00:50:23.69\00:50:28.32
He doesn't want our
nakedness to be revealed.
00:50:28.36\00:50:31.09
You'll find some
serious examples in scripture
00:50:31.13\00:50:34.50
of how the Lord
feels about that.
00:50:34.53\00:50:38.10
Now we're going to go
back to Genesis to see
00:50:38.13\00:50:40.44
in another translation
how the Lord feels about that.
00:50:40.47\00:50:43.94
All right?
00:50:43.97\00:50:46.07
Question number, what?
00:50:46.11\00:50:48.81
Question number seven.
00:50:48.84\00:50:52.91
What action did
the Lord take to cover
00:50:52.95\00:50:55.95
Adam and Eve's nakedness?
00:50:55.98\00:50:58.95
Now remember, what
did they put together?
00:50:58.99\00:51:01.22
Who remembers what
they put together to wear?
00:51:01.26\00:51:03.73
Fig leaves.
00:51:03.76\00:51:05.09
They sewed fig leaves together.
00:51:05.13\00:51:06.53
Don't know how they did it.
00:51:06.56\00:51:08.70
I don't think they
had a needle and thread,
00:51:08.73\00:51:10.20
but they found a way to do it.
00:51:10.23\00:51:11.67
They were very intelligent,
perfectly intelligent.
00:51:11.70\00:51:15.04
They sewed fig leaves together.
00:51:15.07\00:51:16.60
Now the Lord
didn't come along and say,
00:51:16.64\00:51:17.97
"Hey Eve, I
like your fig leaves.
00:51:18.01\00:51:22.11
Where'd you get it from?"
00:51:22.14\00:51:23.85
Today, when people go shopping,
00:51:23.88\00:51:26.11
they buy fig
leaves and wear fig leaves
00:51:26.15\00:51:28.15
sometimes to church.
00:51:28.18\00:51:31.42
What does the Lord do?
00:51:31.45\00:51:32.85
He wasn't satisfied
with the garments they made
00:51:32.89\00:51:36.39
because they belong to Him.
00:51:36.42\00:51:37.76
So He stepped
in, and redesigned,
00:51:37.79\00:51:40.76
and gave them the
appropriate garments.
00:51:40.80\00:51:42.63
Genesis 3:21.
00:51:42.66\00:51:44.23
And I put this in the NIV,
00:51:44.27\00:51:45.60
so it can be
really, really clear.
00:51:45.63\00:51:47.94
Really, really clear.
00:51:47.97\00:51:49.30
And the Bible
says, look at the screen.
00:51:49.34\00:51:51.01
"The Lord made," what?
00:51:51.04\00:51:52.94
"Garments of," what?
00:51:52.97\00:51:54.41
"Skin for Adam and
his wife and," did what?
00:51:54.44\00:51:57.81
"Clothed them."
00:51:57.85\00:51:59.81
And I want to tell you today,
the Lord didn't kill a mouse.
00:51:59.85\00:52:03.95
I don't know if you
got the illustration.
00:52:03.99\00:52:06.05
He didn't make a tiny garment.
00:52:06.09\00:52:09.32
I can guarantee you when He did
take the life of that animal,
00:52:09.36\00:52:13.03
he made garments large
enough to cover their nakedness.
00:52:13.06\00:52:16.60
So that from that point on,
00:52:16.63\00:52:20.14
the righteous
garment that they lost,
00:52:20.17\00:52:22.57
the covering, the
glory of God was removed,
00:52:22.60\00:52:25.27
now the Lord replaced it with.
00:52:25.31\00:52:26.98
And from that day on,
00:52:27.01\00:52:29.54
from that day on,
00:52:29.58\00:52:31.65
until we are clothed
00:52:31.68\00:52:33.01
in the
righteousness of God again,
00:52:33.05\00:52:35.15
from that day on,
00:52:35.18\00:52:36.52
the Lord wants us to be clothed.
00:52:36.55\00:52:39.49
He wants us to cover our, what?
00:52:39.52\00:52:41.42
Skin.
00:52:41.46\00:52:43.29
Man alive, this generation...
00:52:43.32\00:52:45.66
And you know what?
00:52:45.69\00:52:48.03
Sometimes I
forget how terrible it is
00:52:48.06\00:52:49.56
until I go back to a major city.
00:52:49.60\00:52:51.83
We live in Thompsonville,
and for the most part,
00:52:51.87\00:52:55.14
it's farming community.
00:52:55.17\00:52:57.37
You know, if you
live in Thompsonville,
00:52:57.41\00:52:59.57
most of us by our clothing
at the Shell gas station.
00:52:59.61\00:53:03.11
Not really.
00:53:03.14\00:53:05.98
They don't sell anything there
but camouflage, and dungarees,
00:53:06.01\00:53:08.62
and stuff like that.
00:53:08.65\00:53:11.02
Well, we go to Dollar General.
00:53:11.05\00:53:12.55
No, we don't really.
00:53:12.59\00:53:14.09
But no, you don't buy
clothes in Thompsonville.
00:53:14.12\00:53:16.79
But when you go to St. Louis,
you are immediately reminded
00:53:16.83\00:53:19.49
how you shouldn't dress.
00:53:19.53\00:53:20.86
Can I get an amen?
00:53:20.90\00:53:22.46
But some of us go to
St. Louis and we say,
00:53:22.50\00:53:24.43
"Oh, wow, that
looks really good."
00:53:24.47\00:53:26.13
And we buy and try to
wear in Thompsonville,
00:53:26.17\00:53:27.77
and it looks out of place.
00:53:27.80\00:53:31.74
God wants His people
to dress presentably.
00:53:31.77\00:53:33.81
Can you say amen to that? Amen.
00:53:33.84\00:53:35.58
Wonderfully, and how
does that really translate?
00:53:35.61\00:53:38.01
Let's go to the very next one.
00:53:38.05\00:53:39.38
The Lord covered them
with the skin of an animal,
00:53:39.41\00:53:42.02
and it wasn't a
mouse, it wasn't a rabbit.
00:53:42.05\00:53:45.05
I'm sure He used a big animal
00:53:45.09\00:53:46.92
to cover these two super humans.
00:53:46.96\00:53:49.59
And by the way, they
were not six feet tall either,
00:53:49.62\00:53:51.69
they were superhuman,
00:53:51.73\00:53:53.06
antediluvians as the
Bible described them to be
00:53:53.09\00:53:55.63
super in structure.
00:53:55.66\00:53:57.67
Look at question number eight.
00:53:57.70\00:53:59.97
What instruction does the Bible
give about godly adornment?
00:54:00.00\00:54:04.11
What instruction does the Bible
give about godly adornment?
00:54:04.14\00:54:08.81
So important to live godly,
00:54:08.84\00:54:10.31
and so important to dress godly.
00:54:10.35\00:54:12.25
It makes a difference.
00:54:12.28\00:54:13.62
And by the way,
00:54:13.65\00:54:14.98
I think that the way you eat
00:54:15.02\00:54:16.72
is preparation for
where you're going.
00:54:16.75\00:54:18.79
The way you live is preparation
for where you're going.
00:54:18.82\00:54:20.72
The way you dress
00:54:20.76\00:54:22.09
is preparation for
where you're going.
00:54:22.12\00:54:23.46
Ain't that right?
00:54:23.49\00:54:24.83
You are showing by
the way you live, dress,
00:54:24.86\00:54:26.19
eat, and live your life
00:54:26.23\00:54:27.56
that you are
strangers and pilgrims here,
00:54:27.60\00:54:29.56
and you're
living for the kingdom.
00:54:29.60\00:54:32.93
Okay, here it is.
00:54:32.97\00:54:34.90
Go to 1 Timothy
2:9-10, 1 Timothy 2:9-10.
00:54:34.94\00:54:39.07
You guys are so
quick, you're already there.
00:54:39.11\00:54:40.94
All right, here it is.
00:54:40.98\00:54:42.31
And this is also in the
NIV because the way it said
00:54:42.34\00:54:44.18
it was so really,
really, really clear.
00:54:44.21\00:54:46.55
All right? Here it is.
00:54:46.58\00:54:48.88
Timothy,
00:54:48.92\00:54:50.25
this young man being
instructed by the Apostle Paul,
00:54:50.29\00:54:53.05
he says, "I also
want women to dress," how?
00:54:53.09\00:54:55.96
What's the word there?
00:54:55.99\00:54:57.33
"Modestly, with," what else?
00:54:57.36\00:54:59.46
"Decency, and,"
what? "Propriety."
00:54:59.49\00:55:03.23
That means with a dress
00:55:03.26\00:55:05.50
that does not befit in decency.
00:55:05.53\00:55:10.81
You know the word
decency and propriety
00:55:10.84\00:55:13.27
is an interchangeable word.
00:55:13.31\00:55:14.94
He says, "Not with braided hair
or gold or pearls or," what?
00:55:14.98\00:55:19.88
"Expensive clothes.
00:55:19.91\00:55:21.98
But look at the next text.
00:55:22.02\00:55:23.59
"But with good deeds
appropriate for women
00:55:23.62\00:55:26.86
who profess to worship God.
00:55:26.89\00:55:31.03
But with good deeds
appropriate for women
00:55:31.06\00:55:34.23
who profess to worship God."
00:55:34.26\00:55:36.56
Now, when Paul begins by saying,
00:55:36.60\00:55:39.20
and I'm going to
go back to the screen,
00:55:39.23\00:55:40.57
I also want women
to dress modestly.
00:55:40.60\00:55:43.07
In the verses preceding that,
Paul the Apostle pointed out
00:55:43.10\00:55:46.34
two challenges
that Christians had.
00:55:46.37\00:55:49.54
The men had a hard time praying.
00:55:49.58\00:55:53.35
He said, "I want
men to pray more."
00:55:53.38\00:55:55.88
And then the women said,
00:55:55.92\00:55:57.25
he said, "I want you
ladies to dress modestly."
00:55:57.29\00:56:00.56
And by the way,
00:56:00.59\00:56:01.92
let me put the context together.
00:56:01.96\00:56:03.39
That was in a society
00:56:03.43\00:56:04.76
quite different from
our society in America.
00:56:04.79\00:56:07.46
They didn't have
Macy's, and Nordstrom,
00:56:07.50\00:56:09.63
and all the stores
and the modern dress
00:56:09.66\00:56:11.70
we have today.
00:56:11.73\00:56:13.07
This was a society for the...
00:56:13.10\00:56:14.44
That for the most part,
00:56:14.47\00:56:15.80
most everything
was already covered up.
00:56:15.84\00:56:18.51
So if you are in a
society where most,
00:56:18.54\00:56:20.38
almost everything is covered up
in the Middle Eastern society,
00:56:20.41\00:56:23.31
in the culture of
the biblical Asia,
00:56:23.35\00:56:25.75
then you really
couldn't be that immodest.
00:56:25.78\00:56:28.25
People today that
travel to the Bible lands,
00:56:28.28\00:56:30.42
women that travel to
the Bible lands today,
00:56:30.45\00:56:33.02
and go to cultures were
dress is very important.
00:56:33.05\00:56:35.56
They cover their heads.
00:56:35.59\00:56:37.09
They dress modestly
00:56:37.13\00:56:38.46
because in some
places it's against the law
00:56:38.49\00:56:39.96
for women to expose too much.
00:56:40.00\00:56:42.16
And so when Paul says,
00:56:42.20\00:56:44.13
"To dress modestly with decency,
00:56:44.17\00:56:48.17
and propriety," that means
don't look indecent in society.
00:56:48.20\00:56:53.21
He also mentioned something else
00:56:53.24\00:56:54.58
I want to clear
up before we go on
00:56:54.61\00:56:55.94
because next week, if
you don't get it tonight,
00:56:55.98\00:56:58.21
you've missed it next week.
00:56:58.25\00:57:00.02
When he said,
"Not, but braided hair
00:57:00.05\00:57:01.38
or gold or pearls
or expensive clothing,"
00:57:01.42\00:57:03.89
the people of their
day they had a practice
00:57:03.92\00:57:06.02
that they
interweaved gold in their hair,
00:57:06.05\00:57:11.49
and they adorned their hair.
00:57:11.53\00:57:13.50
He wasn't talking
about regular braiding,
00:57:13.53\00:57:15.50
so the translation there falls
short of the actual practice.
00:57:15.53\00:57:19.03
He wasn't talking about,
"Well, if you braid your hair,
00:57:19.07\00:57:21.14
now let it out."
00:57:21.17\00:57:22.50
That was not what
he was talking about.
00:57:22.54\00:57:23.87
They interweaved
articles of gold and silver
00:57:23.91\00:57:27.91
strands into their hair,
00:57:27.94\00:57:29.38
and brought all the
glory to themselves.
00:57:29.41\00:57:32.05
What the Lord wants us to be
00:57:32.08\00:57:33.42
is modest in
every appropriate way,
00:57:33.45\00:57:36.25
and befitting a person
00:57:36.28\00:57:38.72
who is
reflecting the glory of God.
00:57:38.75\00:57:40.76
Can we say amen to that?
00:57:40.79\00:57:42.52
And so as we begin
to lay the foundation,
00:57:42.56\00:57:44.29
we're going to see as
we continue next week,
00:57:44.33\00:57:46.66
some very important scriptures.
00:57:46.70\00:57:48.20
We've laid a lot of foundation.
00:57:48.23\00:57:50.13
And right now, I hope that
you're beginning to think about
00:57:50.17\00:57:52.27
godly diet, and godly dress
00:57:52.30\00:57:55.34
because one day
we're going to be clothed
00:57:55.37\00:57:57.51
with the glorious
immortality of Jesus.
00:57:57.54\00:58:00.41
So continue until one day
00:58:00.44\00:58:02.68
it all comes
into A Sharper Focus.
00:58:02.71\00:58:04.98
God bless you.
00:58:05.01\00:58:06.35
