Have you ever heard somebody say
00:00:12.69\00:00:13.88
It really doesn't matter
how we worship God as long as we
00:00:13.91\00:00:16.15
worship Him. I mean, after all,
00:00:16.18\00:00:17.59
He's not that particular?
00:00:17.62\00:00:18.79
You know, worship is not
something to play around with.
00:00:18.82\00:00:21.35
It's going to be the
issue in the end of time.
00:00:21.38\00:00:23.38
The Book of Revelation tells us.
00:00:23.41\00:00:24.76
And today we're
gonna go back to the story
00:00:24.79\00:00:26.61
in the beginning of the Bible.
The story of Cain and Abel.
00:00:26.64\00:00:28.92
One of these worshipers
has accepted before God.
00:00:28.95\00:00:32.48
The other has rejected. Why?
00:00:32.51\00:00:33.99
What makes the difference?
00:00:34.02\00:00:35.44
What makes the
difference in our worship?
00:00:35.47\00:00:37.30
We'll find out
today. Stay tuned.
00:00:37.33\00:00:39.34
>Welcome to another
Edition of Bible Alive.
00:00:46.57\00:00:48.76
I'm glad that you could join us.
00:00:48.79\00:00:50.33
My name is Dwight
Hall and I have my Co-Host
00:00:50.36\00:00:52.93
Pastor Mark Howard.
00:00:52.96\00:00:54.44
Pastor it's good
to have you here.
00:00:54.47\00:00:55.44
>>Great to be here Dwight.
00:00:55.47\00:00:56.44
and Dane Griffin, >>>Uhh hmm >
good friend of mine for 25 years
00:00:56.45\00:00:59.68
at least >>>Yep
>and we're still friends.
00:00:59.71\00:01:01.78
We've talked about that.
Went through a lot of things
00:01:01.81\00:01:03.67
>>>Went through the years. A
lot of water under the bridge
00:01:03.70\00:01:04.67
but >That's right >>>but we're
still on the way to the Kingdom.
00:01:04.68\00:01:06.50
>Amen. And you have a Ministry
called Lifestyle Matters? >>>
00:01:06.53\00:01:09.56
Yes. >Preach all over the World.
Talking about? >>> Lifestyle,
00:01:09.59\00:01:13.17
Biblical principles of living
and how it radically changes
00:01:13.20\00:01:16.18
your life. >OK. And Pastor,
you not only are a Pastor of a
00:01:16.21\00:01:21.06
Church but have a Ministry and
that is what? >>It's Emmanuel
00:01:21.09\00:01:25.17
Institute of Evangelism. We're
actually an Evangelism Training
00:01:25.20\00:01:28.12
Program. We train people, young
and old, to know how to share
00:01:28.15\00:01:31.98
their faith more effectively.
How to be excited about what
00:01:32.01\00:01:34.31
believe from the Bible and feel
confident in sharing what they
00:01:34.34\00:01:38.36
>Yeah >>know from the Bible and
of course, when you- when you
00:01:38.39\00:01:40.92
are excited about the truth
of God's Word, Jesus said, "It
00:01:40.95\00:01:44.37
becomes like a well of water,
a fountain of water >Right >>
00:01:44.40\00:01:45.84
springing up under
everlasting life. >That's right
00:01:45.87\00:01:47.68
>>and so we train people how
to spring up effectively >Hey,
00:01:47.71\00:01:51.02
that's, I like that. I like
that >>Yeah > and we want you to
00:01:51.05\00:01:53.64
spring up effectively too >>Amen
>Before we get started with Cain
00:01:53.67\00:01:56.69
and Abel, I hope that you have
your Bibles and you need to get
00:01:56.72\00:02:01.15
those. But before you do, let's
just pause, that God will bless
00:02:01.18\00:02:03.14
us and so we'll
have a Word of Prayer.
00:02:03.17\00:02:06.94
Father in Heaven, again, we just
thank You so much for the time
00:02:06.97\00:02:10.74
that we can have together on
this program. I pray that You
00:02:10.77\00:02:14.04
be with our Guests that are
watching, that You'll open their
00:02:14.07\00:02:16.91
hearts. That You would push the
evil angels away, Father. That
00:02:16.94\00:02:19.92
You would allow them to be open
with their lives to see where
00:02:19.95\00:02:24.71
they're at with this story
today. Be with us also, Father,
00:02:24.74\00:02:27.83
that it may not be our words but
truly Your Words which guides
00:02:27.86\00:02:31.82
our lips and I thank You
for hearing this prayer and for
00:02:31.85\00:02:35.61
answering it because I pray
it in the Name of Jesus and in
00:02:35.64\00:02:38.64
faith, Amen >>>Amen >>Uhh hmm
>OK. Now you need to get in your
00:02:38.67\00:02:42.26
Bibles and it's Genesis what?
Chapter? >>Chapter 4 >Chapter 4
00:02:42.29\00:02:46.12
and while you're getting there,
I'm going to type up on my
00:02:46.15\00:02:49.20
little Lap Top here. Get it up
on the screen, Genesis Chapter
00:02:49.23\00:02:51.94
4, and we'll start- you know
Pastor, why don't you go ahead
00:02:51.97\00:02:55.71
and maybe you wanna >>Yeah,
I will >just read this >>We'll
00:02:55.74\00:02:57.32
just say, we- really, it's a
short story. Starts in verse 1
00:02:57.35\00:03:00.31
there of Chapter 4. We're gonna
>Right >>just start there. Bible
00:03:00.34\00:03:03.04
says
00:03:03.09\00:03:04.06
>>Verse 6
00:03:35.64\00:03:36.61
>Uhh hmm
00:03:59.36\00:04:00.33
>OK, well there's more, a
little bit more there about Cain
00:04:01.49\00:04:04.37
but let's- let's get started.
What, you know in a- in a
00:04:04.40\00:04:09.03
nutshell, what is this talking
about? What is this whole-
00:04:09.06\00:04:11.54
this whole thing, these what?
These short 8 verses. What is
00:04:11.57\00:04:16.08
it trying to get across? >>>Well
I think, what it says to me is,
00:04:16.11\00:04:20.37
Number 1, these were both
engaging in acts of worship >>
00:04:20.40\00:04:23.51
That's right >Yes >>>Cain
brought a permissible sacrifice
00:04:23.54\00:04:28.16
but it was the thank offering,
not a sin offering and so he had
00:04:28.19\00:04:33.82
partial obedience. You
know, many people today say, "It
00:04:33.85\00:04:37.04
doesn't matter what you do, just
love Jesus. It doesn't matter
00:04:37.07\00:04:40.10
what day you worship, just
worship. >>Uhh hmm >>>It doesn't
00:04:40.13\00:04:41.56
matter. It doesn't matter that"
but this >>"God doesn't care
00:04:41.59\00:04:43.17
what day. " >Yeah >>"God is not
that particular," they say >>>
00:04:45.46\00:04:47.67
I've heard that one >Uhh hmm >>>
but what does it show here? >
00:04:47.70\00:04:50.20
He's very particular >>>God
says, "I'm particular. " For
00:04:50.23\00:04:53.09
Him? No, for us >Yes >>>It's the
discipline of serving God >Well,
00:04:53.12\00:04:58.15
what- what does John say in the
New Testament? "If ye love me,
00:04:58.18\00:05:00.80
>>>Keep my commandments. "
>keep my commandments. He's kind
00:05:00.83\00:05:02.08
of saying, insinuating if
you don't forget it because it
00:05:02.11\00:05:05.10
doesn't matter anyway >>>That's
right >You know, you hear. Dane,
00:05:05.13\00:05:07.92
I have to share this short
story. We were talking before we
00:05:07.95\00:05:10.58
got on the air about being a
Pilot. You know, so often, you
00:05:10.61\00:05:14.28
know, you- you love the Lord
and you'll keep His Commandments
00:05:14.31\00:05:17.94
and we know that we can't do
it in our own strength >>>That's
00:05:17.97\00:05:20.02
right >but through Jesus Christ,
all things are possible and we
00:05:20.05\00:05:22.34
love the Lord so much, we
surrender our will to Him and
00:05:22.37\00:05:25.42
we do whatever He wants us
to do. Not because He's a tyrant
00:05:25.45\00:05:28.47
God but because He wants to keep
us free. >>That's right >Free
00:05:28.50\00:05:31.66
indeed from sin >>>That's right
>and-and- and sin should not
00:05:31.69\00:05:35.03
have dominion over us but
anyways, you were saying well,
00:05:35.06\00:05:37.45
hey, you know, I explain it this
way. Go ahead, Dane. You can
00:05:37.48\00:05:40.71
share it. >>>Well, I've had
people before- I've heard people
00:05:40.74\00:05:42.70
before say, "Ah, You're a
legalist cause you go to Church
00:05:42.73\00:05:44.61
or because you know, eat
the right way or you eat the way
00:05:44.64\00:05:47.18
you do or what. " I
look at people and say,
00:05:47.21\00:05:48.79
"Hey listen, when
I get on an airplane
00:05:48.82\00:05:50.86
with 150, 300, how many
people is on the airplane,
00:05:50.89\00:05:53.40
I want a
legalist flying that baby.
00:05:53.43\00:05:55.58
I want a Pilot
who goes by the book.
00:05:55.61\00:05:58.60
He rotates at the right speed.
He lands at the right speed.
00:05:58.63\00:06:01.60
He drops the
wheels at the right time.
00:06:01.63\00:06:03.18
He does it by- He
flies at the right altitude.
00:06:03.21\00:06:05.75
He does it by the book
00:06:05.78\00:06:07.49
and I think
everybody is like that.
00:06:07.52\00:06:09.02
>And really, in essence
though, that's not a legalist.
00:06:09.05\00:06:11.35
>>>No, it's not a legalist >So
what- so what >>>That's called
00:06:11.38\00:06:14.26
being smart >That's right.
Being smart and being right.
00:06:14.29\00:06:17.63
>>>That's right. >You know, and
so but what, so what then is a
00:06:17.66\00:06:20.41
legalist? >>Well, it's
interesting >We've gotten-
00:06:20.44\00:06:22.14
we've- we've gotten this saying
around that I hear all the time.
00:06:22.17\00:06:25.58
If- you're just a legalist. So
what is truly a >>Well, people
00:06:25.61\00:06:30.04
want to equate, people- and I
hate to say it, quite this way
00:06:30.07\00:06:34.54
but really, people who
don't study the Bible well, have
00:06:34.57\00:06:38.83
fallen into the fallacy
of equating legalism with
00:06:38.86\00:06:41.72
obedience. As if the more you
obey God, the more legalistic
00:06:41.75\00:06:45.63
you are but the fact is, that
legalism is more of a motivation
00:06:45.66\00:06:50.81
than- than the outward act.
In other words, legalism is a
00:06:50.84\00:06:54.32
person who's trying to earn
God's favor by what they do >>>
00:06:54.35\00:06:57.49
That's right >>Now, some- I
know legalist that do a lot.
00:06:57.52\00:07:00.42
I know legalist who do a little.
It's not about how much they do
00:07:00.45\00:07:03.85
but the spirit they do it in >In
other words, what you're saying
00:07:03.88\00:07:06.89
is, you can have an alter
conservative that- and I hate
00:07:06.92\00:07:10.38
those terms. That someone that-
like- like- like the Pharisees >
00:07:10.41\00:07:13.83
>>>Yeah >The Pharisees
were alter legalist, why?
00:07:13.86\00:07:15.71
Because they were trying to
00:07:15.74\00:07:16.71
merit their way into
Heaven >>>Sure, sure >by keeping
00:07:16.74\00:07:18.55
certain Laws >>>True >It wasn't
because of the love of Jesus and
00:07:18.58\00:07:21.53
God. >>That's right >It
was their own merits >>And they
00:07:21.56\00:07:24.34
figured what they did was gonna
earn their favor with God >And
00:07:24.37\00:07:27.06
so they were very strong
in those areas. Then you got
00:07:27.09\00:07:29.74
the- the- the group that's on
the opposite side who says, "Oh,
00:07:29.77\00:07:32.80
it just doesn't matter what we
do at all. Just love Jesus" and
00:07:32.83\00:07:36.42
they're legalist too >>That's
right >because they're- because
00:07:36.45\00:07:39.51
by- by saying that, they're
keeping their own law. >>It's
00:07:39.54\00:07:41.58
like this and I've noticed
this. I go out and as I run this
00:07:41.61\00:07:44.78
witnessing school, one of
the things we do, we've gone out
00:07:44.81\00:07:47.28
witnessed door-to-door with
people and one of things we've
00:07:47.31\00:07:50.05
done is give them surveys,
religious surveys and it's
00:07:50.08\00:07:52.26
interesting how many Christians,
00:07:52.29\00:07:53.56
when you ask them,
where their security is.
00:07:53.59\00:07:55.94
If you were to die
tonight, would you be saved?
00:07:55.97\00:07:58.23
Yes, I'd be saved.
Why would you be saved?
00:07:58.26\00:07:59.72
They say, "Well, because I'm a
00:07:59.75\00:08:00.72
good person. " Soon as a person
00:08:00.73\00:08:02.60
says something like that,
what they're telling you is
00:08:02.63\00:08:04.55
their Salvation is
based on their goodness >Yeah
00:08:04.58\00:08:07.03
>>They may not
believe that they have to keep
00:08:07.06\00:08:08.56
the 10 Commandments.
They may not have to believe,
00:08:08.59\00:08:10.38
they may not
believe any of that.
00:08:10.41\00:08:11.85
They may believe that I go down
the soup kitchen once a week
00:08:11.88\00:08:14.15
and because I help
people out and I'm a nice person
00:08:14.18\00:08:16.50
that will get me into
Heaven. They're still legalist.
00:08:16.53\00:08:18.80
>That's right >Because they are
seeing their works as the basis
00:08:18.83\00:08:22.05
of Salvation. >>>And you know
Pastor, I've never had anybody
00:08:22.08\00:08:24.61
come up to me and say,
"You don't commit adultery?
00:08:24.64\00:08:27.10
You're a legalist.
" >>Yeah. That's right
00:08:27.13\00:08:29.54
>>>"But you don't swear?
Aah! It's legalism. " Nobody,
00:08:29.57\00:08:32.44
but they will bring it up
about what day you worship on
00:08:32.47\00:08:34.89
and if you eat or
don't eat the right things.
00:08:34.92\00:08:36.79
>>That's right.
When you're challenged
00:08:36.82\00:08:37.79
>>>That's always
the legalism there.
00:08:37.80\00:08:38.77
>>When you're challenged >Yeah,
yeah >>to do something that you
00:08:38.78\00:08:40.04
don't wanna do >>>That's right
>Right >>You know, we have >>>
00:08:40.07\00:08:41.59
>>>That's right >> a built-in
self-defense >>>Oh Yeah >>
00:08:41.62\00:08:43.08
mechanism I'd like >>>Oh
>>to say >>>yeah. Absolutely.
00:08:43.11\00:08:44.08
>Sometimes,
sometimes people, you know,
00:08:44.09\00:08:45.95
I've got a little
definition that legalism
00:08:45.98\00:08:47.83
is doing one step
more than somebody else
00:08:47.86\00:08:50.41
and of course, then
you're going to say le-
00:08:50.44\00:08:51.88
and why do we many times
say that sometimes it's true
00:08:51.91\00:08:54.54
but, like you said, many times
it's because somebody is doing
00:08:54.57\00:08:58.35
something that the- the
conscience is being pricked in
00:08:58.38\00:09:00.95
our own hearts. The- the Lord
is saying, you should be taking
00:09:00.98\00:09:04.73
note of that because again,
it's not how much you do or how
00:09:04.76\00:09:08.02
little you do. It's
doing it in your own strength.
00:09:08.05\00:09:10.33
Is that correct? If you
do nothing >>Right >and say,
00:09:10.36\00:09:11.95
"It doesn't matter. "
Well then you're a legalist
00:09:11.98\00:09:13.75
because you're
saying, "I don't have to
00:09:13.78\00:09:15.15
do anything, so I'm-
I'm writing my own laws. "
00:09:15.18\00:09:17.19
>>>Listen, you look- you
look at the Book of James.
00:09:17.22\00:09:19.16
James says, "That we should obey
the perfect law of liberty. "
00:09:19.19\00:09:23.47
>>That's right >Yes >>>The law
of- why does God >Because it's
00:09:23.50\00:09:25.95
just free >>>Why does God
want us to obey the law? For his
00:09:25.98\00:09:28.28
good? No >>For
our good >>>because
00:09:28.31\00:09:29.84
it builds a hedge of
protection around us >Yes. Amen
00:09:29.87\00:09:32.23
>>>I knew- I had- I had a
prisoner, I was doing a prison
00:09:32.26\00:09:34.44
Ministry video once and a
prisoner said to me, he said,
00:09:34.47\00:09:37.36
"You wanna know how
important keeping the law is?
00:09:37.39\00:09:38.95
Ask any Guy in this place >Yeah
00:09:38.98\00:09:40.85
>>>They'll tell
you how important it is
00:09:40.88\00:09:41.85
>Yeah >>>You see, they
lost their liberty >Right.
00:09:41.86\00:09:44.25
>>>because they had
ventured against the law >>Right
00:09:44.28\00:09:46.14
>>>and God's going to do
the same thing >That's right
00:09:46.17\00:09:48.25
>>>He doesn't want to
but He had to do it with Cain
00:09:48.28\00:09:51.24
and I think what's
interesting in this
00:09:51.27\00:09:52.61
>So- so who, so then, if I
might interrupt >>>Yeah >Who
00:09:52.64\00:09:55.48
then truly was the legalist?
>>>Cain >Cain was? >>Yeah.
00:09:55.51\00:10:01.03
>He was saying it doesn't matter
>>>At the same time >what you do
00:10:01.06\00:10:03.03
and his own
Brother, Abel saying,
00:10:03.06\00:10:04.87
"Cain please listen. Do
what God's asking you to do"
00:10:04.90\00:10:08.89
and he was saying,
"Hey, this is the best. " I'm-
00:10:08.92\00:10:11.38
because, I think
Cain's problem was
00:10:11.41\00:10:14.53
you know, in an essence,
that, he was a Farmer >>>Yes
00:10:14.56\00:10:17.21
>and so he brought
the best and he thought,
00:10:17.24\00:10:20.60
I brought my best. That
ought to be good enough.
00:10:20.63\00:10:23.17
I mean, Abel is a- Abel is a
Shepherd so he's bringing the
00:10:23.20\00:10:26.96
best of his sheep.
I'm bringing the best
00:10:26.99\00:10:29.39
of my fruits so that
ought to be good enough.
00:10:29.42\00:10:30.81
I mean, he's bringing his best.
I'm bringing my best but they
00:10:30.84\00:10:33.68
weren't- he wasn't listening
to God >>>That's right.
00:10:33.71\00:10:35.67
>>Something important in the >
Uhh hmm >>the story of Cain and
00:10:35.70\00:10:37.32
Abel is, you know, we read the
story right here and what we do
00:10:37.35\00:10:40.17
get clearly is that they
both came to God. They both
00:10:40.20\00:10:43.66
worshipped God. Yes >>They
both made sacrifices to God.
00:10:43.69\00:10:46.32
One was accepted and
the other wasn't accepted.
00:10:46.35\00:10:48.97
It doesn't spell out for us here
why but it does in the Book of
00:10:49.00\00:10:52.15
Hebrews 11. In
Hebrews 11 verse 4 it says,
00:10:52.18\00:10:55.43
"By faith, Abel offered a
better sacrifice unto God >Yes
00:10:55.46\00:10:59.68
>>than Cain" and
so, faith was the
00:10:59.71\00:11:02.21
qualifying factor
and what's fascinating is
00:11:02.24\00:11:04.32
when you look at the two
individuals, Cain and Abel.
00:11:04.35\00:11:08.20
Abel was the one that
obeyed God more particularly.
00:11:08.23\00:11:11.70
He obeyed to the letter where
Cain, he gave partial obedience.
00:11:11.73\00:11:15.55
He built an offer.
He brought a sacrifice.
00:11:15.58\00:11:17.53
He just didn't bring
exactly what God said.
00:11:17.56\00:11:19.91
He partially did but not
fully. Abel gave full obedience
00:11:19.94\00:11:25.19
and I think it's interesting
when you understand that it was
00:11:25.22\00:11:27.21
because of his faith. In
other words, faith didn't
00:11:27.24\00:11:29.95
lead Able to be less obedient
to God but more >more obedient
00:11:29.98\00:11:33.07
>>obedient to God. Where-
where there's a mindset today
00:11:33.10\00:11:35.34
that if you have lots of faith,
you won't worry about obedience.
00:11:35.37\00:11:38.43
Just so long as you have faith
00:11:38.46\00:11:39.89
but the Bible teach us
the exact- exact opposite.
00:11:39.92\00:11:42.55
The person who has faith, is the
00:11:42.58\00:11:44.06
one who's gonna
be more obedient.
00:11:44.09\00:11:45.44
The person who's less
obedient, the reason they're
00:11:45.47\00:11:47.33
less obedient, is because
faith prompts your heart-
00:11:47.36\00:11:51.62
if faith works by love the
Scripture says >Yes >>and when
00:11:51.65\00:11:54.85
we love to serve- when we love
God, we'll wanna serve Him >Amen
00:11:54.88\00:11:58.19
>>Because Cain didn't really
have that love for God in his
00:11:58.22\00:12:00.83
heart. All he want to do is
the least he could to get by.
00:12:00.86\00:12:03.91
It's like in High School.
When I was in High School, I was
00:12:03.94\00:12:05.54
one of those students, that,
"Boy, if I could just get by. "
00:12:05.57\00:12:08.02
>>>Did we go to the same school?
00:12:08.05\00:12:09.02
>>If I could just skate by with
the- >Yeah >>with the >>>Yeah
00:12:10.19\00:12:12.41
>>with- and pass and graduate,
that was good for me. " >>>Yeah
00:12:12.44\00:12:15.44
>>You know, just
give me the bare minimum
00:12:15.47\00:12:17.43
and that's where Cain was,
he didn't wanna do anything
00:12:17.46\00:12:20.28
more than he had
to do, to be saved.
00:12:20.31\00:12:21.97
>>>He didn't want
to be inconvenienced
00:12:22.00\00:12:23.28
>>That's right >Yeah
>>>for God >>And so he's
00:12:23.31\00:12:25.95
>>>and- and you know, it's
like what it says in the Book of
00:12:25.98\00:12:27.32
James, James says, "Show me
your faith without your works >>
00:12:27.35\00:12:30.91
That's right >>>and I'll show
you my faith by my works. " Now
00:12:30.94\00:12:34.91
what's James saying there? James
is saying that, faith produces
00:12:34.94\00:12:38.51
works >>That's right >>>
but works never produce faith >>
00:12:38.54\00:12:41.35
That's right >Right. >>>and
that's a key >>That's the real
00:12:41.38\00:12:43.77
key >>>faith always produces
works but works will never
00:12:43.80\00:12:46.45
produce faith >And a faith that
works by Love >>>Love >>That's
00:12:46.48\00:12:49.48
right >I mean it- it
all ties in. You cannot,
00:12:49.51\00:12:51.78
and what we've tried
to do, I think, sometimes,
00:12:51.81\00:12:53.68
in the Christian World, is try
to tear that- that >>That's true
00:12:53.71\00:12:55.82
>that, you know, you-
you can break one strand
00:12:55.85\00:12:59.56
pretty easy. A
three kit strand cord
00:12:59.59\00:13:01.73
is not easily broken,
the Bible says >>>Right
00:13:01.76\00:13:03.24
>So you've got
faith, works and love.
00:13:03.27\00:13:05.32
You've got to keep
those tied together.
00:13:05.35\00:13:07.54
You start messing with
it and you're- >>Yeah >
00:13:07.57\00:13:09.68
you're gonna be in trouble
>>>That's right, absolutely >>
00:13:09.71\00:13:11.54
It is interesting too, when
you come to the Book of Hebrews.
00:13:11.57\00:13:13.09
Most Christian's
know Hebrews Chapter 11
00:13:13.12\00:13:15.38
is the great
faith Chapter >Yes >>
00:13:15.41\00:13:16.72
You look at Hebrews 11 and- and
it will tell us, going through
00:13:16.75\00:13:20.05
all the Patriarchs.
By faith, Abel did this.
00:13:20.08\00:13:23.17
By faith Noah did this. By
faith somebody did something
00:13:23.20\00:13:26.78
and in every case,
by faith and then it's
00:13:26.81\00:13:28.77
followed by actions
>Yes >>That's right >>
00:13:28.80\00:13:30.16
because faith works >Yes >> and
that's something that we see.
00:13:30.19\00:13:33.41
What's interesting about
Cain and Abel, is you've got two
00:13:33.44\00:13:35.69
classes of worshipers
and we know, if we come down
00:13:35.72\00:13:37.65
to the end of the Bible. Go all
the way through. We come to the
00:13:37.68\00:13:39.51
Book of Revelation and we
see two groups of people. We see
00:13:39.54\00:13:43.07
those and everybody is claiming
to worship. The Bible says,
00:13:43.10\00:13:45.18
"Everybody worships at end of
time. " We've got a true system
00:13:45.21\00:13:47.34
and a false system >>>That's
right >>Just like back in >Yeah
00:13:47.37\00:13:49.50
>>Genesis >Right >>a true and a
false. We're gonna see the same
00:13:49.53\00:13:51.61
thing. We're going to see those
who have a faith that works
00:13:51.64\00:13:55.50
and those who have an alleged
faith as an excuse from working.
00:13:55.53\00:14:00.36
>>>Now, it's the same
thing, Jesus said to that- that
00:14:00.39\00:14:02.60
Samaritan woman at the well,
you know. There in the Book of
00:14:02.63\00:14:05.69
John >>Uhh hmm >>>He
says, "Woman-" Now remember,
00:14:05.72\00:14:08.49
this woman worships God >Yes
>>>She's an off-shoot of the
00:14:08.52\00:14:11.39
Jews >Yeah
>>That's right >>>OK and
00:14:11.42\00:14:13.73
>But she- and she- but she is-
she is a God worship- she's not
00:14:13.76\00:14:16.38
>>>She's worshiping God
>That's right. The God of Heaven
00:14:16.41\00:14:18.03
>>>but she's not worshiping God
in the prescribed way >Right.
00:14:18.06\00:14:19.96
>>>and what Jesus says to her,
when she ask Him a question,
00:14:20.74\00:14:22.78
"Where shall we worship?"
and He says, "Woman, you don't
00:14:22.81\00:14:25.36
know what you worship "
00:14:25.39\00:14:26.52
"We know what we worship.
Salvation is of the Jews. "
00:14:26.55\00:14:29.58
and then He says, "Those
who worship God must worship
00:14:29.61\00:14:32.20
Him in spirit and in truth for
God seeks such to worship Him. "
00:14:32.23\00:14:37.52
So some people will say,
"Oh, I just worship God in the
00:14:37.55\00:14:40.29
spirit. " >>Uhh hmm >>>It's
not enough >That's right.
00:14:40.32\00:14:42.63
>>>Some people say, "I
have the truth. " Not enough.
00:14:42.66\00:14:45.58
>It's not enough
>>>Both are lost >>That's right
00:14:45.61\00:14:48.17
>>>God says, "You gotta join
the Spirit and truth together"
00:14:48.20\00:14:50.95
and only an in-dwelling
Holy Spirit can we do that
00:14:50.98\00:14:53.47
>>That's right
>That's right, that's good.
00:14:53.50\00:14:55.59
OK. So, let's go back here. So
now we've got- we've got Cain,
00:14:55.62\00:14:59.88
we've got Abel and we've
talked about how they did
00:14:59.91\00:15:03.75
their sacrifice but
I'd- I'd like to go to...
00:15:03.78\00:15:07.15
I hate these glasses but I got
to put them on. Tell you what!
00:15:07.18\00:15:10.19
>>>Sign of age. I've
got mine, right here >OK.
00:15:10.22\00:15:12.79
>>>Never leave
home without them.
00:15:12.82\00:15:14.02
>And Mark, you just
have yours on all the time
00:15:14.05\00:15:16.51
>>All the time >>> I was
born with them >>I'm prepared.
00:15:16.54\00:15:18.09
>OK. If you go to
Genesis Chapter 4 >>Yeah
00:15:18.12\00:15:21.51
>I love Chapter or verse 7.
00:15:21.54\00:15:24.46
I think that
tremendous. It says,
00:15:24.49\00:15:26.20
Now, God is speaking to
Cain right here, before he kills
00:15:27.90\00:15:31.60
Abel >>Uhh hmm> He says,
00:15:31.63\00:15:32.60
So there's some
work he's got to do.
00:15:35.64\00:15:37.09
What- what has
he got to do well?
00:15:37.12\00:15:38.35
>>Hey he's- and- and-
and just a point on that
00:15:38.38\00:15:41.26
that's very important.
God expected Cain to know,
00:15:41.29\00:15:45.93
that he was expected to
obey >Yes >>In other words,
00:15:45.96\00:15:49.41
God doesn't tell Cain like
it's a revelation to him >Right
00:15:49.44\00:15:51.78
>>He says, "Cain you know this?
If you obey, if you do well. "
00:15:51.81\00:15:54.87
What wasn't he doing well?
He didn't do what God said.
00:15:54.90\00:15:57.34
So you get Christians,
they say, "Well, God doesn't
00:15:57.37\00:15:59.40
expect us to do what He
said" but God expected Cain to
00:15:59.43\00:16:02.30
understand already >>>Yes
>>is a given >>>That's right
00:16:02.33\00:16:04.57
>>"Cain, you know this? >Well
00:16:04.60\00:16:05.57
>>If you obey me
>Yeah >>things will go well
00:16:05.58\00:16:08.40
If you don't obey me,
what can you expect but what?"
00:16:08.43\00:16:10.52
What's it going to say?
00:16:10.55\00:16:11.52
>Well, in- in 2 just did- he
knew, how did he know? Because
00:16:11.53\00:16:15.39
it wasn't like there was
15 generations >>Yeah and
00:16:15.42\00:16:17.74
everything was forgot >>Yeah
> with the Garden of Eden. The
00:16:17.77\00:16:19.82
Garden of Eden was still on the
face on the Earth, they couldn't
00:16:19.85\00:16:21.83
>>>That's right >go in it.
I mean, who was Cain's Mother
00:16:21.86\00:16:25.48
and Father? Adam and
Eve >>>Adam and Eve >>Yeah
00:16:25.51\00:16:27.30
>and they failed the
test of obedience >>Exactly
00:16:27.33\00:16:29.72
>>>In one generation >and
it wasn't a big test > In just
00:16:29.75\00:16:30.87
>>>one generation >>Right >So,
anyway, obviously he did know.
00:16:30.90\00:16:34.12
It says,
00:16:34.15\00:16:35.12
Or, you- you had a couple
different >>>I did >translations
00:16:47.69\00:16:49.42
>>>If you read this same
passage, Genesis 4 verse 7, in
00:16:49.45\00:16:53.38
The New International
Version, it's translated,
00:16:53.41\00:16:56.08
>OK
00:17:03.71\00:17:04.68
>>>Then the revised,
the standard version says,
00:17:04.69\00:17:06.26
What's God telling us there?
People will say, "Sin is no
00:17:11.88\00:17:14.96
big deal. God understands.
00:17:14.99\00:17:16.66
He knows my heart. " >>Uhh hmm
00:17:16.69\00:17:17.91
>>>What's God saying here? He's
saying, look >>That is so >>>the
00:17:17.94\00:17:22.35
only way, notice what God says.
He says, "Sin is lying at your
00:17:22.38\00:17:25.41
door. " How did- how did Cain
sin? He opened the door >Yeah
00:17:25.44\00:17:28.24
>>>and let sin in. You
see, sin cannot come in
00:17:28.27\00:17:31.61
against our will.
I tell people this,
00:17:31.64\00:17:34.16
"I'm going to tell you a
guaranteed way to be saved.
00:17:34.19\00:17:36.11
Guaranteed, if you'll
do this, you'll be saved. "
00:17:36.14\00:17:38.00
You know what it is?
Every time, sin knocks
00:17:38.03\00:17:41.00
on your door, you
say, "Oh God, could you get
00:17:41.03\00:17:43.59
the door please?" >>That's right
>>>and God gets the door >Yeah
00:17:43.62\00:17:46.67
>>>Jesus- Jesus loves
to answer doors >Right
00:17:46.70\00:17:48.38
>>>He answers the
door and Satan says,
00:17:48.41\00:17:49.81
"What are you doing
here?" >That's right
00:17:49.84\00:17:51.27
>>>The Lord says,
"Dane died last night >Yeah
00:17:51.30\00:17:53.60
>>>I'm living here
now. What would you like. "
00:17:53.63\00:17:54.85
>>>Satan says, >Yeah >>>"Nothing
>>>Yeah>>>Just passing
00:17:54.88\00:17:56.45
through. " >That's right >>>Our
problem is, we see Jesus do
00:17:56.48\00:17:59.73
that 4 or 5 times. We
say, "Piece of cake >Yeah
00:17:59.76\00:18:02.48
>>>I can do that. Hey Lord, I'll
answer the door next time. "
00:18:02.51\00:18:04.43
He says, "No please. "
"Lord- Lord, I'll take it. "
00:18:04.46\00:18:06.30
The Lord will never force
you, to let Him answer the door
00:18:06.33\00:18:09.28
>That's right >>> but we got to
remember, when Je- when God said
00:18:09.31\00:18:11.48
"Sin lies at the door,
but you must master it,
00:18:11.51\00:18:15.64
through my power. " >Yes.
00:18:15.67\00:18:17.13
>>>Let me answer the door, Cain.
And, what's really interesting
00:18:17.16\00:18:20.16
in this passage. Notice it says
>I love >>> in verse 6 >that
00:18:20.19\00:18:22.11
>>>Now, that's powerful >Yes.
00:18:29.44\00:18:30.80
>>>because what God- what
God is saying here is, God says,
00:18:30.83\00:18:34.25
"I'm watching your countenance.
I'm reading your heart. "
00:18:34.28\00:18:37.39
We need to get- start getting
into the habit of reading
00:18:37.42\00:18:40.51
our emotions and
where we are. So we can say,
00:18:40.54\00:18:42.68
"Oh, wait a minute. I'm
going down wrong road here.
00:18:42.71\00:18:44.34
Sin's lying at the door >Yeah
>>>It's getting ready to pounce.
00:18:44.37\00:18:46.88
Lord, I'm gonna master
it through your power. "
00:18:46.91\00:18:48.53
Start read- Satan's
reading your countenance.
00:18:48.56\00:18:51.39
>But why- but why? Why
don't we master sin? >>Yeah
00:18:51.42\00:18:54.50
>You know, why we don't?
One is, because we don't-
00:18:54.53\00:18:56.83
we don't practice it but >>>Yes
00:18:56.86\00:18:58.22
>the other reasons is- is that,
I heard- I heard a Speaker once
00:18:58.25\00:19:01.75
say that, "most of
us are asking the Lord
00:19:01.78\00:19:03.99
>>You don't
practice mastering it.
00:19:04.02\00:19:05.22
>Yeah. We don't
practice mastering it.
00:19:05.25\00:19:06.62
>>We practice enough sin >Right
00:19:06.65\00:19:07.62
but- but- we'll- we- we-
we're praying to the Lord,
00:19:08.00\00:19:10.96
"Lord please
forgive my sins" >>Uhh hmm
00:19:10.99\00:19:13.17
>and instead of fleeing
from temptation >>>That's right
00:19:13.20\00:19:15.86
>closing the
door, running as far
00:19:15.89\00:19:17.35
in the opposite
direction we can. "
00:19:17.38\00:19:18.45
You know, there's one Speaker
said that, "You- you're kind of
00:19:18.48\00:19:21.56
crawling on
your hands and knees,
00:19:21.59\00:19:23.02
praying, 'Lord, please
take this sin away from me,'
00:19:23.05\00:19:25.23
looking behind you, hoping that
sin catches up, cause you really
00:19:25.26\00:19:28.24
desire to do it. " >>Yeah
>That's the point. The point is,
00:19:28.27\00:19:30.41
>>>"Lord, I tried to get
away but it outran me. " >That's
00:19:30.44\00:19:33.13
right >>Well, I think it needs
to be kept in mind too, that as
00:19:33.16\00:19:35.66
far, you say, running as
far away from sin is possible.
00:19:35.69\00:19:38.03
What- what direction is that?
That will be >>>Towards God >Yes
00:19:38.06\00:19:41.46
>>>You're running towards God >>
Towards obedience >Towards God
00:19:41.49\00:19:42.46
>>>That's right >>In other
words, sin is disobedience >Yes
00:19:42.47\00:19:45.22
to God >Yes >>So when we're
running the other- this is why
00:19:45.25\00:19:47.74
when-when the Devil can get
us convinced that obedience is
00:19:47.77\00:19:50.61
legalism and then we say,
"Well, I'm not going to obey. "
00:19:50.64\00:19:53.44
What is- what's our
option? Sin >>>Yeah >Right
00:19:53.47\00:19:55.87
>>>and that's why Paul says,
in Roman 13, he says, "Flee. "
00:19:55.90\00:19:58.96
He says- he says,
"Cast off evil imaginations.
00:19:58.99\00:20:01.74
Cast off the sin which
so easily beset us and run
00:20:01.77\00:20:04.20
with patience, the race >>That's
right >>>that is set before us
00:20:04.23\00:20:06.19
>>Right >>>We need to
understand that sin, is death
00:20:06.22\00:20:08.88
>That's right. >>>and you know,
like Joseph, there in Genesis,
00:20:08.91\00:20:11.46
when Potiphar's Wife tempted
him. The Bible says, that, "He
00:20:11.49\00:20:15.27
ran from her. " >>Yeah
00:20:15.30\00:20:17.39
>>>He didn't stand there,
thinking about it. He ran >>
00:20:17.42\00:20:19.02
The Bible says, "Resist the
Devil. " >>>The Bible says "Make
00:20:19.05\00:20:21.71
not provision for the flesh
to fulfill the lust thereof. "
00:20:21.74\00:20:24.28
>He slammed the door
shut. >>>That's right.
00:20:24.31\00:20:25.79
>You- we- we cannot- we cannot
argue and parley with sin and
00:20:25.82\00:20:29.54
think >>>No >that we are better
Like you've said, "I love that-
00:20:29.57\00:20:31.89
you said about the Lord, "If we
let the Lord, answer the door"
00:20:31.92\00:20:35.13
and we >>>we're safe >keep it
shut, we're OK, we're safe >>>
00:20:35.16\00:20:37.17
Yeah >but the minute we
think that we can handle it or,
00:20:37.20\00:20:39.46
you know what, "I'm just going
to smell what's at the door,
00:20:39.49\00:20:43.62
I'm just going to >>>Yeah >just
peek what's you- forget it >>>
00:20:43.65\00:20:46.55
Listen >it's going to get
us. " >>>real- real brief >OK.
00:20:46.58\00:20:49.02
In the Sanctuary,
in the Old Testament,
00:20:49.05\00:20:50.46
which principles are
for us today >That's right.
00:20:50.49\00:20:52.65
>>>In the City of Refuge,
the Bible says, in the Book of
00:20:52.68\00:20:56.00
Leviticus, "That if a man kills
somebody, acc- accidentally,
00:20:56.03\00:20:58.39
he could run to the
City of Refuge. " >Yes
00:20:58.42\00:21:00.61
>>>Now it was a Law in Numbers
and in Joshua and in Leviticus,
00:21:00.64\00:21:04.15
that no City of Refuge,
could be more than a half
00:21:04.18\00:21:06.21
a day's journey
from anywhere in Israel.
00:21:06.24\00:21:07.60
Everyone has
equal access to God.
00:21:07.63\00:21:08.82
>>Hmm hmm >>>Now
if that person got to
00:21:08.85\00:21:11.41
the City of Refuge and got
inside, The High Priest- The
00:21:11.44\00:21:13.51
Priest that lived there,
would meet him at- at the Gate.
00:21:13.54\00:21:15.60
Once that sinner was inside,
nobody could touch him >That's
00:21:15.63\00:21:18.90
right >>>but if he stepped- if
he just stuck his finger out and
00:21:18.93\00:21:22.22
somebody could grab it
>Yeah >>>He was fair game >Yeah
00:21:22.25\00:21:24.53
>>>What's God
telling us? Run to Jesus.
00:21:24.56\00:21:26.73
Be encapsulated in
Jesus Grace >Yeah >>All right
00:21:26.76\00:21:30.04
>>>Be encapsulated in his love.
Be encapsulated in his obedience
00:21:30.07\00:21:33.16
and you are safe from
the assaults of the Devil.
00:21:33.19\00:21:35.77
That's why David said,
"The Lord is a strong tower.
00:21:35.80\00:21:38.57
The righteous run
into it and are safe. "
00:21:38.60\00:21:41.11
That's- that's City of Refuge
talk >>Uhh hmm >>>So, what God
00:21:41.14\00:21:43.95
is showing us here, He's saying,
"Look, watch your countenance. "
00:21:43.98\00:21:47.78
>Yes. >>>The countenance
will tell you where you are.
00:21:47.81\00:21:50.00
If you're losing your temper
or if you're starting to fall.
00:21:50.03\00:21:51.88
If, you know, >Yes >>>You know,
God says, "Be aware of your
00:21:51.91\00:21:53.92
surroundings. " Be aware of
your surroundings because sin
00:21:53.95\00:21:56.97
is just in the other side of
the door >That's right >>True
00:21:57.00\00:21:58.24
>And- and- and I like that too,
as when- when you think of it
00:21:58.27\00:22:03.00
in a- in a real simple way
and I've- I've got to make this
00:22:03.03\00:22:04.03
simple because we can talk about
this for hours but we know that,
00:22:04.06\00:22:07.89
really, the only thing we take
to Heaven, it's not our bodies.
00:22:07.92\00:22:10.97
It's not these old
bodies >>That's right
00:22:11.00\00:22:12.30
>but it's our character,
our thoughts and our feelings.
00:22:12.33\00:22:14.91
You know, because we're going
to know each other. Who we are
00:22:14.94\00:22:18.61
and- and how we've >>>That's
true >acted. We are going to
00:22:18.64\00:22:19.97
know each other and We are not
going to say, "I say, who are
00:22:20.00\00:22:21.96
you? Oh, you're Dane Griffin.
" You know, we're not going to
00:22:21.99\00:22:24.99
be that. We're going to
know each other by our fruits
00:22:25.02\00:22:27.26
basically, our character, our
thoughts and feelings >>>That's
00:22:27.29\00:22:29.09
right >The brain that is
encapsulated in the body, in
00:22:29.12\00:22:33.95
the head, really, the brain is
our character, right? >>>That's
00:22:33.98\00:22:38.33
right >So, our body is just
a tell-tale sign of where we're
00:22:39.15\00:22:41.48
at with Jesus
Christ >>>That's right
00:22:41.51\00:22:42.74
>Its where our, you know, the
little song, "Well, be careful a
00:22:42.77\00:22:45.37
little >>>'Feet where you go'
> where you go and your hands,
00:22:45.40\00:22:47.35
what you do and your
eyes, what you look at >>>True
00:22:47.38\00:22:49.08
>It- it- the brain, the-
the body, just tells us where,
00:22:49.11\00:22:52.80
we're at with Jesus
Christ >>>That's right
00:22:52.83\00:22:54.43
>So if we've got, if we doing
wrong things or for saying wrong
00:22:54.46\00:22:57.32
and- and getting upset then
we are to realize and we need
00:22:57.35\00:22:59.78
to be open and say
"Lord, please, I'm a sinner. "
00:22:59.81\00:23:01.51
We need to be like the
Publican. >>>That's right.
00:23:01.54\00:23:03.53
>Say, "We need- we need help. "
00:23:03.56\00:23:04.92
>>>This story shows God's
Grace because before Cain tried
00:23:04.95\00:23:07.84
to kill Abel, God comes
and tries to prevent it >Yes
00:23:07.87\00:23:09.82
>>>He says, "Cain,
Cain, look where you are?
00:23:09.85\00:23:12.04
Repent now, let me
forgive you. " But Cain refused.
00:23:12.07\00:23:15.42
>He refused. >>>
God's mercy is so great.
00:23:15.45\00:23:17.31
>So great and with that we're
going to take a short break.
00:23:17.34\00:23:21.05
Don't go away
we'll wrap this up.
00:23:21.08\00:23:22.88
We'll be right back.
00:23:22.91\00:23:23.93
Be more efficient and organized
with your Bible Studies and
00:23:26.57\00:23:29.49
homework, with
the new Pentel Pencil.
00:23:29.52\00:23:31.86
This incredible tool has 8
bright non-bleed colors in just
00:23:31.89\00:23:35.39
one pen. When you're ready to
change the color, turn the clip
00:23:35.42\00:23:38.95
and you're ready to go.
00:23:38.98\00:23:40.60
Just hear what these
enthusiastic Bible Students have
00:23:40.63\00:23:43.56
to say about the Pentel Pencil.
00:23:43.59\00:23:45.30
I love using the Pentel Pencil
with my Remnant Study Bible
00:23:45.33\00:23:48.80
but I also love using it for my
school work and as I study and
00:23:48.83\00:23:53.42
I highlight the things that I
need to remember but if there's
00:23:53.45\00:23:56.51
a special word that I need, I
go back and I change the color,
00:23:56.54\00:24:00.10
highlight it and it's
sure to pop off the page.
00:24:00.13\00:24:04.19
For me, the Pencil comes
in handy when I'm studying my
00:24:04.22\00:24:06.65
Sabbath School lesson.
00:24:06.68\00:24:07.94
This week's lesson
is about Faithfulness.
00:24:07.97\00:24:09.59
As I'm studying, I use the
Pencil to highlight things that
00:24:09.62\00:24:12.77
I want to share on Sabbath.
Another simple and practical way
00:24:12.80\00:24:16.34
to use my Pencil is here at
Home. It helps me to prioritize
00:24:16.37\00:24:20.30
things on my To Do List.
The things that have to be done
00:24:20.33\00:24:23.26
right away, I underline in Red
and I use Blue for things that
00:24:23.29\00:24:26.63
can wait till later.
00:24:26.66\00:24:27.97
As a Minister, I have found the
Pentel marking pen to be a great
00:24:28.00\00:24:31.76
help to me in my Ministry,
in both preparation of sermons
00:24:31.79\00:24:35.83
and Bible Study materials but
also in the delivery of those
00:24:35.86\00:24:39.64
messages. Let me explain to you
real quick, when I am studying,
00:24:39.67\00:24:42.58
I'll come across a word that
I'd like to highlight, to pull
00:24:42.61\00:24:46.36
my mind to later on and I'll use
a color like Red if I'm dealing
00:24:46.39\00:24:49.92
with Salvation and I'll mark
that Word, so then, when I'm
00:24:49.95\00:24:54.21
studying that passage with
someone in their Home or I'm
00:24:54.24\00:24:57.02
preaching from the pulpit it
will help to remind me, I need
00:24:57.05\00:24:59.85
to focus on that Word, which
triggers my mind to remember the
00:24:59.88\00:25:03.53
things I've studied on that.
00:25:03.56\00:25:04.92
I think you'll find it a help
too, in your Bible Studies or as
00:25:04.95\00:25:08.56
the Pastor asks you to
preach from time to time.
00:25:08.59\00:25:10.77

Pencil and start enhancing your

Make the most of your time in
00:25:25.63\00:25:27.35
the Word, with
the Pentel Pencil.
00:25:27.38\00:25:29.79
Increasingly, many people
are not studying their Bibles
00:25:32.98\00:25:36.08
and I'm so glad that finally, we
have a Bible that is written for
00:25:36.11\00:25:41.45
lay people and it is simply
done, it is user friendly, there
00:25:41.48\00:25:46.01
are Chain References so that you
can give Bible Studies from it.
00:25:46.04\00:25:49.64
The Remnant Study Bible is one
of the best helps you'll find,
00:25:49.67\00:25:54.54
especially in your devotional
life as you're reading it,
00:25:54.57\00:25:57.92
concerning the Spirit
of Prophecy and as you go
00:25:57.95\00:26:00.75
from text to text and
the help you find there will
00:26:00.78\00:26:03.90
increase your
relationship with Christ.
00:26:03.93\00:26:07.03
I love when I'm having worship
in the morning, I love to be
00:26:07.06\00:26:11.61
able to read the Ellen G. White
quotes by the different Bible
00:26:11.64\00:26:15.30
text. Yes. It just makes my
my worship so much more special.
00:26:15.33\00:26:19.57
Now the decision is in
your hands. Will you accept the
00:26:20.74\00:26:24.21
challenge to become
part of God's Last Day Army?
00:26:24.24\00:26:26.97
Equip yourself today.
00:26:27.00\00:26:29.94
>I'm glad that you still with
us. Isn't this such exciting
00:26:33.14\00:26:35.88
stuff. You mean,
we're taking 8 verses and-
00:26:35.91\00:26:39.72
and- and dissecting
it and it's just amazing
00:26:39.75\00:26:42.51
but we're going to
have to close that but Mark,
00:26:42.54\00:26:44.57
Pastor Mark, share... there's-
there's a couple of things we
00:26:44.60\00:26:47.25
we're talking
about during the break.
00:26:47.28\00:26:48.25
>>Well, I think,
what's important here is
00:26:48.26\00:26:49.92
that way back in the beginning,
in the Bible, you really
00:26:49.95\00:26:51.96
have the key to surviving it to
the end of the Bible. You've got
00:26:51.99\00:26:54.79
>>>Sure >>2 groups of
worshipers >OK >>Those
00:26:54.82\00:26:56.48
who worship God in spirit and
in truth and those who don't.
00:26:56.51\00:26:58.52
The Bible says that, "Those who
worship God in spirit and truth
00:26:58.55\00:27:01.24
and don't receive
the marked of the beast.
00:27:01.27\00:27:02.56
Keep the commandments of God
and have the faith of Jesus. "
00:27:02.59\00:27:05.62
They're not legalist
because they keep the
00:27:05.65\00:27:06.95
Commandments of God.
00:27:06.98\00:27:08.21
They're faithful
because they keep the
00:27:08.24\00:27:09.47
Commandments >Yeah >>of God
00:27:09.50\00:27:10.53
and we see that in Genesis,
we see that in Revelation.
00:27:10.56\00:27:12.66
>And so, for you, it's not
too late. You know you can have
00:27:12.69\00:27:18.53
a better way of life.
It's not too late right now.
00:27:18.56\00:27:20.36
We know, from what we're
seeing in the World right now,
00:27:20.39\00:27:22.70
that Jesus
certainly is coming soon
00:27:22.73\00:27:24.70
and it's going to be over.
00:27:24.73\00:27:26.28
Worship, when it
really comes right down to it.
00:27:26.31\00:27:28.50
So, read these stories
make them practical in your
00:27:28.53\00:27:32.55
everyday lives
because you too can have
00:27:32.58\00:27:35.51
a better way of life
and don't put it off.
