PEARSON, JR. 00:14 JOIN US NOW AS PASTOR PEARSON CONTINUES HIS MESSAGE FROM 00:17 FIRST CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER 6, ENTITLED TO THE GLORY OF GOD. 00:25 WP: EAT FRUITS, NUTS AND WHOLE GRAINS. 00:30 CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT GOD GAVE THAT DIET TO ADAM AND EVE. 00:35 THEY HAD JUST COME FRESH FROM HIS HAND. 00:40 ADAM WAS TALL AND STURDY. 00:44 HE HAD BOUNCE IN HIS STEP. 00:46 CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW HANDSOME HE WAS ? 00:48 I DON'T WANT TO DISTURB THE LADIES TOO MUCH, BUT JUST 00:51 THINK A MINUTE ABOUT WHAT ADAM MUST HAVE LOOKED LIKE. 00:56 AND GOD SAID IN ORDER TO KEEP ADAM LIKE THAT, I WANT YOU TO 01:00 EAT FRUITS, NUTS AND GRAINS. 01:03 EVE WAS AMAZING. 01:07 ADAM TELLS US THAT. 01:08 A BEAUTIFUL CREATURE, AND GOD SAYS I WILL KEEP HER LOOKING 01:12 LIKE THAT, I WILL GIVE HER A DIET THAT WILL MAKE HER 01:16 LIVE AT AN OPTIMUM LEVEL, AND HE GAVE THEM FRUITS, 01:21 NUTS AND WHOLE GRAINS. 01:23 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SO MANY PROCESSED FOODS THAT 01:29 THEY CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THERE IS JOY IN EATING THAT DIET. 01:36 BUT THE ONE WHO MADE ADAM AND EVE GAVE ADAM AND EVE THAT DIET. 01:42 I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING. 01:45 THERE ARE SOME FRUITS THAT ARE SO SWEET. 01:47 I'M HAPPY TO HAVE TRAVELED TO SOME PLACES, I WAS IN 01:50 WEST AFRICA, AND I TOOK SOME FOOD OVER THERE BECAUSE I 01:56 WAS ON A SPECIAL DIET ONE OF THOSE TIMES, AND I RAN OUT 01:59 OF IT AND I WAS VERY CAREFUL. 02:02 I SAID, "LOOK, I WANT TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I EAT," AND 02:05 THE DEAR LADY WHERE I WAS LIVING SAID, "MY HUSBAND, WHEN HE WANTS 02:09 TO BE CAREFUL, EATS PINEAPPLE." 02:14 PINEAPPLES WHERE I LIVE ARE NOT ALL THAT SPECTACULAR. 02:19 BUT IN GHANA ! 02:22 SHE BROUGHT ME A PINEAPPLE, AND SHE CUT THAT THING, AND I SAID, 02:31 "WHAT KIND OF PINEAPPLE ?" 02:32 AND SHE SAID, "OH, IT'S JUST A PINEAPPLE. 02:35 WE EAT THEM EVERY DAY." 02:37 AND I TASTED IT, AND IT WAS SWEETER THAN ANYTHING 02:40 I'D EVER TASTED BEFORE. 02:44 AND FOR DAYS, UNTIL I LEFT, THAT WAS THE MAIN STAPLE OF MY DIET. 02:49 AND IT WAS SO SWEET AND JUICY, UNTIL I WISH NOW, 02:53 AT THIS VERY MOMENT. . . 02:59 BUT THE TASTES OF FRUITS ! 03:02 I'VE BEEN IN THE CARIBBEAN WHERE THEY HAVE FRUITS EVERYWHERE; YOU 03:05 CAN PICK THEM UP OFF THE GROUND. 03:10 IF YOU EVER NEED TO BE HOMELESS, BE HOMELESS IN THE CARIBBEAN 03:13 BECAUSE. . .YOU CAN EAT. . . 03:17 AND I ATE ALL KINDS OF THINGS, AND THE FRUITS HAVE DIFFERENT 03:20 FLAVORS AND DIFFERENT TASTES AND I CONFESS TO YOU THAT THERE 03:24 IS A MANGO NAMED JULIE ! 03:34 BUT WHAT I DISCOVERED WAS THAT THE FRUITS HAVE ALL THE FLAVORS, 03:39 AND THEN WHEN I WAS A CHILD, WE USED TO EAT BREAD. 03:44 IT WAS THE BEST THAT WE COULD AFFORD. 03:47 IT WAS VERY LIGHT IN COLOR; THERE WAS A CONSISTENCY 03:56 THAT WAS REGRETTABLE. 04:00 YOU COULD ACTUALLY TAKE A SLICE OF THIS BREAD, BALL IT UP IN 04:04 YOUR HAND, PUT IT DOWN, AND IT WOULD STAY JUST LIKE THAT. 04:16 MY FAMILY MOVED UP JUST SLIGHTLY ON THE SOCIOECONOMIC 04:22 SCALE AND WE STARTED EATING SOME DIFFERENT BREAD. 04:25 WHEN MY DAD FIRST BROUGHT IT HOME, MY BROTHER AND 04:28 I WERE ANGRY. 04:31 IT WAS DARK AND THICK AND HEAVY. 04:36 YOU PICKED IT UP; IT ALMOST STRAINED YOU TO PICK IT UP. 04:41 DAD SAID, "THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE EATING FROM NOW 04:43 ON," AND WE RESISTED. 04:46 IN FACT WE WENT ON A HUNGER FAST FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR. 04:53 THEN I FINALLY STARTED TASTING WHAT REAL GRAIN WAS LIKE. 04:59 AND I CONFESS TO YOU, I'VE COME TO THE POINT NOW WHERE I 05:01 CAN'T EAT THAT THING ANYMORE THAT YOU CAN BALL UP IN 05:03 YOUR HAND--BECAUSE OF THE TASTE OF REAL BREAD. 05:08 AND THEN IF YOU WERE TO GO TO MY HOUSE TONIGHT, YOU FIND NUTS 05:12 OF EVERY DESCRIPTION, BECAUSE THERE IS A RICHNESS THERE. 05:16 I UNDERSTAND ADAM AND EVE. 05:19 THEY HAD A WONDERFUL DIET ! 05:21 AND I'M GOING TO IMAGINE THEY HAD SOME THINGS THAT 05:23 WE DON'T HAVE ANYMORE. 05:25 CAN YOU IMAGINE EVE SAID, "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO EAT TODAY ?" 05:30 AND THEY WERE EATING ALL THOSE TREES THAT 05:32 GOD HAD GIVEN TO THEM. 05:34 REMEMBER THERE WAS ONLY ONE THAT HE SAID, "YOU CAN'T EAT OF." 05:38 THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF THEM, SO I UNDERSTAND. 05:42 NOW, THERE CAME A MOMENT WHEN SIN TAINTED ADAM AND EVE. 05:47 GENESIS, GO TO GENESIS CHAPTER 3, AND LOOK AT VERSE 18, AFTER 05:54 SIN INTO THE PICTURE, THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT CHANGED. 05:58 AND HERE'S WHAT GOD ALLOWED: 06:15 I'VE GOT TO SAY THIS GENTLY BECAUSE THERE'S A LITTLE 06:18 CULTURAL HIGHLIGHT THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU. 06:22 BUT HERBS ARE SIMPLY VEGETABLES. 06:27 THERE ARE CERTAIN VEGETABLES THAT ARE POPULAR IN 06:32 CERTAIN PLACES. 06:39 I APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS WHO ARE IN OTHER COUNTRIES 06:43 WHO HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED SOMETHING CALLED COLLARD GREENS. 06:53 PERHAPS IF WE MEET ONE DAY, MY WIFE WILL MAKE SOME FOR YOU. 06:58 IT IS AN HERB WITH A SUBLIME TASTE. 07:04 IN FACT, I HAVE SAID TO PEOPLE, I HAVE SAID TO PEOPLE, ASSUMING 07:13 THAT I MAKE IT TO HEAVEN, I WANT TO MAKE A SPECIAL REQUEST. 07:17 I KNOW THAT SIN WILL HAVE BEEN CONQUERED, AND WE WILL NO LONGER 07:21 NEED HERBS; WE CAN GO TO THE TREE OF LIFE AND TAKE A LEAF 07:27 FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS. 07:29 I SAY, BUT DO YOU THINK THE LORD WOULD SMILE ON ME AND 07:34 CAUSE ONE LEAF TO TASTE LIKE A COLLARD GREEN ? 07:42 HERBS BECAME MEDICATION. 07:46 NOW, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW INVOLVED GOD IS 07:50 IN OUR NUTRITION. 07:53 WHEN WE WERE WITHOUT SIN, FRUITS, NUTS, WHOLE GRAINS. 07:58 AFTER SIN, GOD KNEW THAT WE NEEDED MEDICATION, SO HE 08:01 GAVE US HERBS TO EAT, AND HERBS WERE ADDED TO THE DIET 08:06 TO GIVE US HEALTH AFTER SIN. 08:09 NOW, GO TO GENESIS, CHAPTER 7, AND I WILL SHOW YOU 08:14 THAT IT CHANGED EVEN MORE AFTER THE FLOOD. 08:19 GENESIS, CHAPTER 7, AND YOU REMEMBER THAT FOR A TIME, THE 08:27 EARTH WAS COVERED WITH WATER, SO YOU'LL BE SURPRISED HOW GOD 08:34 LOOKS AT OUR NEEDS AND REACHES OUT TO TAKE CARE OF US. 08:39 LET ME START WITH VERSE 1: 08:52 I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS. 08:53 DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS TELLS ME ? 08:56 EVEN IF I LIVE IN A WICKED GENERATION, IF I AM FAITHFUL TO 09:02 GOD, GOD WILL BE FAITHFUL TO ME. 09:06 YOU KNOW THE STORY. 09:08 I WON'T EVEN DRAMATIZE IT. 09:09 IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALL KNOW WHEN NOAH STARTED BUILDING THAT 09:15 BOAT THAT GOD INSTRUCTED HIM TO BUILD, PEOPLE THOUGHT HE 09:19 HAD GONE OUT OF HIS MIND. 09:20 THERE HAD NEVER BEEN RAIN; THE EARTH WAS GIVEN 09:24 MOISTURE BY THE DEW. 09:27 SO WHEN HE SAID, "IT'S GOING TO RAIN," THEY SAID HE WAS 09:29 OUT OF HIS MIND. 09:30 BUT HE BUILT ANYWAY, AND THEY TEASED AND THEY SHOUTED 09:33 AT HIM, BUT GOD FINALLY TOLD THEM, "LOOK, START 09:36 MAKING PREPARATIONS." 09:37 AND HERE THEY ARE: 10:07 LET'S LOOK AT GOD'S LOVE. 10:10 WHEN MAN WAS FRESH FROM HIS HAND, HE GAVE THE PERFECT DIET. 10:15 IT'S STILL PERFECT. 10:19 IT'S STILL PERFECT. 10:20 WHEN SIN ENTERED THEIR LIVES, HE ALLOWED THEM TO HAVE HERBS 10:26 BECAUSE THEY NEEDED THE HEALING PROPERTIES OF HERBS. 10:30 WHEN THE EARTH WAS COVERED WITH WATER, WHEN HE SAVED ONE FAMILY 10:36 THAT WAS FAITHFUL, I TELL YOU TONIGHT THAT IF YOUR FAMILY 10:41 HAD BEEN THE ONLY FAMILY THAT TRUSTED AND BELIEVED IN GOD, 10:45 HE WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU HOW TO MAKE SOME CRAFT TO SAVE YOU 10:49 BECAUSE JESUS HONORS THOSE WHO HONOR HIM, SO HE KNOWS THAT 10:57 WHEN THEY LEAVE THIS BOAT, THERE WILL BE NO VEGETATION. 11:04 SO, HE SAYS, "HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO." 11:06 MOST PEOPLE, IF I WERE TO ASK YOU, HOW DID THE ANIMALS 11:09 COME TO THE ARK, YOU WOULD HAVE SAID TWO BY TWO BECAUSE 11:11 THAT'S WHAT YOU LEARNED. 11:13 THEY GAVE YOU A LITTLE SONG, "AND THE ANIMALS 11:15 CAME TWO BY TWO." 11:19 NOT DISTURBED AT YOU. 11:21 BUT THE FACT IS THE UNCLEAN ONES CAME TWO BY TWO. 11:27 HE SAID, "BRING THE CLEAN ONES BY SEVENS, BECAUSE 11:31 THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EAT FOR A WHILE." 11:35 ARE YOU STILL THERE ? 11:37 SO, HE GAVE THEM ENOUGH CLEAN ANIMALS TO HELP THEM SURVIVE. 11:44 HE SAID, "DON'T BRING THESE TWO BY TWO, BECAUSE YOU'VE 11:46 GOT TO EAT SOME PRETTY SOON." 11:49 I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THE ANIMALS WERE AWARE OF THE PLAN, BUT 11:56 HERE'S WHAT GOD SAYS AND YOU'VE GOT TO STICK WITH ME. 12:00 GOD, IN GENESIS, WHEN CREATION WAS STILL FRESH IN MEMORY, 12:07 SAID THERE ARE SOME ANIMALS THAT ARE CLEAN, AND THERE 12:11 ARE SOME THAT ARE UNCLEAN. 12:18 OKAY, THIS USED TO BE SO HORRIBLE, BUT NOW 12:22 IT'S KIND OF FUN. 12:25 WHEN YOU SEE THAT SOME ANIMALS WERE CREATED TO BE SCAVENGERS... 12:38 I WAS ONCE AN AQUARIST. 12:41 THAT'S A CUTE WORD FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS A FISH TANK. 12:48 I WENT AND CHOSE MY FISH AND FINALLY, THE GENTLEMAN 12:52 WHO WAS ADDING THINGS PRETTY REGULARLY SAID, "YOU'VE 12:54 GOT TO GET SOME CATFISH." 12:58 I SAID, "BUT I DON'T LIKE THEM. 12:59 I DON'T LIKE THE WAY THEY LOOK." 13:01 HE SAID, "WELL, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THAT TANK CLEAN, YOU'VE 13:03 GOT TO GET SOME CATFISH." 13:04 "I DON'T WANT ANY, I DON'T LIKE THEM." 13:06 HE SAID, "BUT CATFISH WILL CLEAN THE TANK FOR YOU." 13:11 I'M NOT GOING TO GET INDELICATE WITH YOU. 13:14 I USED TO PREACH THIS SERMON IN A FAR DIFFERENT WAY, BUT THE 13:17 FACT IS THAT GOD CREATED SOME FISH, SOME BIRDS AND SOME 13:22 ANIMALS TO CLEAN THE EARTH. 13:26 ALL RIGHT ? 13:28 I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET 13:31 SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT THAT IF GOD MADE AN ANIMAL AND SAID, 13:33 "THIS ONE IS UNCLEAN,"--I DON'T WANT THAT ONE. 13:40 DON'T WANT THAT ONE. 13:42 IF ANYBODY KNOWS IF HE'S CLEAN OR UNCLEAN, IS GOD THE ONE ? 13:46 SO HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS, AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THIS AND HOPE 13:49 YOU GO HOME AND DO RESEARCH. 13:51 IF YOU GO TO READ IN LEVITICUS 11; IF YOU READ IN DEUTERONOMY 13:58 14, YOU WILL FIND A LISTING OF ANIMALS, FISH AND BIRDS 14:07 THAT ARE UNCLEAN. 14:09 AND I'M GOING TO SAVE YOU A LITTLE TIME BY TELLING YOU 14:11 THAT HERE ARE SOME OF THEM: SWINE'S FLESH; PORK, HAM, BACON, 14:26 AH, I COULD GO DOWN A LONG LIST; I'VE GOT ONE, BUT THE FLESH 14:31 OF THE PIG IS UNCLEAN. 14:34 AMONG THOSE THINGS THAT MOVE IN THE SEA, SEAFOOD: 14:38 SHELLFISH ARE UNCLEAN. 14:40 CRAB--I'M IN MARYLAND, I'M IN MARYLAND, BUT I'VE GOT TO PREACH 14:49 THE TRUTH: CRAB, LOBSTER, SHRIMP, CRAYFISH, CATFISH, 14:57 EEL, SHARK, TURTLE--UNCLEAN. 15:03 UNCLEAN. 15:05 GOD MADE THEM TO SCAVENGE AND CLEAN THE EARTH, AND THE FACT IS 15:10 THAT EVEN IF YOU FIND WHICH ONES ARE CLEAN, AND LET ME SAY THIS 15:16 GENTLY, BUT YOU NEED TO HEAR IT. 15:18 THERE ARE SOME OF THE FOWL THAT WERE IN THE CLEAN CATEGORY, AND 15:23 IN CERTAIN COMMUNITIES THAT ARE NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART, 15:28 PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT THE CHICKEN IS AMONG THEM. 15:33 AH, YOU'RE JUST BEING QUIET BECAUSE YOU KNOW 15:35 WHERE I WAS GOING. 15:38 AND LAMB AND BEEF ARE AMONG THOSE, BUT LET ME TELL YOU 15:42 WHAT I'VE COME TO KNOW. 15:43 FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT EVEN CLEAN ANIMALS, 15:48 LEVITICUS 17:14 SAYS YOU MUST NOT EAT THE BLOOD, BECAUSE 15:56 IN THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE OF THE CREATURE, AND YOU MUST NOT 16:00 LET THAT COME INTO YOUR BODY BECAUSE IT CARRIES THE LIFE. 16:06 THEN YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT 16:10 ARE DELETERIOUS TO YOUR BODY, NOT JUST WHAT YOU EAT, AND 16:15 I'VE CLEANED UP A FEW. 16:17 BUT IF YOU STUDY IN THOSE CHAPTERS, YOU WILL SEE THAT SOME 16:21 ANIMALS SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN. 16:25 THERE ARE SOME BEVERAGES THAT SHOULD NEVER GO 16:28 INTO THE HUMAN BODY. 16:29 GO TO PROVERBS, CHAPTER 20. 16:32 PROVERBS, CHAPTER 20, AND LET'S LOOK AT VERSE 1: 16:50 IN FACT, IF YOU GO TO PROVERBS CHAPTER 23, YOU'LL 16:54 FIND A LITTLE BIT MORE. 16:55 I USED TO DO IT IN A HARSH FASHION, BUT ALMOST EVERYBODY 16:59 KNOWS THIS ALREADY. 17:01 THIS IS PROVERBS 23:29. 17:04 IT SAYS: 17:15 OH, I COULD DESCRIBE THAT ! 17:31 THE FACT IS THAT ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE NOT GOOD 17:36 FOR THE HUMAN BODY AND GOD SAID SO IN THE WORD. 17:39 NOW THERE IS SOME NEW INFORMATION THAT I'M SURE 17:41 EVERYBODY HAS HEARD BY NOW. 17:44 THEY SAY IF YOU TAKE ALITTLE WINE, JUST MODERATE WINE, IT 17:51 CAN BE GOOD FOR YOUR HEART. 17:54 AND I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE REJOICED TO HEAR THIS NEWS. 18:00 WELL, LET ME READ YOU SOMETHING NOT FROM THE BIBLE, BUT 18:04 FROM THE SCIENTISTS. 18:06 THIS IS FROM RONALD WATSON, PHD, PROFESSOR AT THE COLLEGE 18:10 OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT UNIVERSITY 18:12 OF ARIZONA IN TUCSON. 18:15 HE WAS THE FORMER HEAD OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE 18:18 ON ALCOHOL ABUSE AND ALCOHOLISM FOR SIX YEARS. 18:21 HE SAYS, "I AND THE N.I.H. 18:24 CONCLUDE THAT INCREASING ALCOHOL USE WILL BENEFIT A FEW BY 18:30 LOWERING HEART DISEASE A LITTLE, WHILE INCREASING THE CHANCES OF 18:35 DAMAGE TO MANY BY ADDICTION." 18:42 DR. RONNIE A. BELL, PHD, M.S., AT WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY SCHOOL 18:46 OF MEDICINE IN WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA, SAYS THIS, AND 18:50 IT'S A LITTLE MORE CONCLUSIVE, "ALCOHOL IS BY NO MEANS A SAFE 18:55 DRUG, NOR SOMETHING THAT CAN IN ANY WAY BE RECOMMENDED FOR 19:00 HEALTH PROMOTION, SUGGESTING THAT ALCOHOL IS SOMEHOW 19:03 BENEFICIAL IS SO OUTWEIGHED BY ITS TOXICITY AS TO BE CRIMINAL." 19:12 WHAT THEY'VE DISCOVERED IS THAT THE BENEFITS THAT YOU 19:15 CAN GET FROM A LITTLE WINE, YOU CAN GET FROM A LITTLE 19:19 GRAPE JUICE, AND THERE IS NO WORRY ABOUT BEING ADDICTED. 19:29 FRIENDS OF MINE, LET'S BE REAL. 19:32 THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE KNOW FOR SURE HARM THE HUMAN BODY: 19:37 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, ILLEGAL AND NON-PRESCRIPTION 19:40 DRUGS, EVEN CAFFEINE. 19:44 I SAW THE OTHER NIGHT AN ATHLETE WHO SAID, "YOU MUST 19:48 NEVER TAKE IN CAFFEINE !" 19:50 HE WAS SO ADAMANT ABOUT IT I WENT BACK AND LOOKED 19:53 AT MY RESEARCH TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD. 19:56 HE SAID IT MAKES YOUR HEART BEAT FASTER. 19:59 HE SAID IT AFFECTS NEGATIVELY YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE. 20:02 HE SAID, "I COULD NEVER FUNCTION AS AN ATHLETE PUTTING 20:05 CAFFEINE IN MY BODY." 20:07 BUT YOU FIND IT IN TEA, COFFEE, COLA AND OTHER SOFT DRINKS, 20:10 AND THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO CAN'T MAKE IT FOR ONE DAY. 20:18 BUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS TAKING FROM YOUR OWN HEALTH. 20:23 AND HERE IS ALL I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU TONIGHT. 20:28 DON'T LET ME TRY AND BE A PHYSICIAN. 20:31 I'M NOT ONE. 20:34 EVERYONE IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE KNOWS THAT SMOKING IS 20:40 DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. 20:42 EVEN BEING IN THE PLACE WHERE OTHERS ARE SMOKING, SIDE 20:48 STREAM SMOKE IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. 20:52 SO IF YOU KNOW THAT TOBACCO, ALCOHOL AND EVEN CERTAIN KINDS 20:59 OF FOOD, EVEN ANIMALS, AND LET ME TELL YOU, WE HAVE COME 21:02 TO THE TIME NOW WHERE THE SYSTEM FOR KEEPING THE SUPPLY 21:09 OF MEAT CLEAN IS FLAWED. 21:14 I DON'T WANT TO TRAUMATIZE YOU WITH STORIES ABOUT MAD COW. 21:19 I DON'T WANT TO REMIND YOU ABOUT WHAT YOU SAW ABOUT 21:22 THE PROCESSING OF CHICKEN, CLEAN MEATS, BUT HANDLED 21:27 IN A FASHION THAT IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. 21:30 WE HAVE COME TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR HAMBURGER 21:34 COOKED AT A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE FOR A CERTAIN LENGTH OF TIME OR 21:38 A HAMBURGER COULD MAKE YOU SICK. 21:42 IF WE ARE THERE, LET ME GET REAL WITH YOU FOR JUST A MINUTE. 21:48 MY BODY DOESN'T BELONG TO ME. 21:53 THE APOSTLE PAUL SAYS LET'S COME TO THE FACTS, JESUS 22:00 MADE YOU, AND I'M FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. 22:04 IT'S AMAZING WHAT THE HUMAN BODY CAN DO !
