BREATH OF LIFE PRESENTS;
00:00:01.93\00:00:05.90
EXPERIENCE THE POWER
WITH WALTER L. PEARSON, JR.
00:00:05.90\00:00:10.86
TODAY PASTOR
PEARSON'S MESSAGE IS ENTITLED A
00:00:10.86\00:00:12.90
RARE QUALITY OF MERCY.
00:00:12.90\00:00:15.30
(theme music)
LET'S GO TO GENESIS,
00:00:16.33\00:00:26.13
THE 19TH CHAPTER.
00:00:26.13\00:00:27.60
YOU HAVE SEEN THE TITLE.
00:00:27.60\00:00:29.40
I'M SURE SOME PEOPLE
ARE A LITTLE CONCERNED.
00:00:29.40\00:00:31.86
WE HAD PEOPLE CALL IN AND SAY,
WHERE'S THE SCRIPTURE FOR THAT ?
00:00:31.86\00:00:35.36
WELL, HERE IT IS.
00:00:35.36\00:00:37.26
THIS IS GENESIS, CHAPTER 19.
00:00:37.26\00:00:40.06
AND I WANT TO READ
BEGINNING WITH VERSE 15, AND I
00:00:40.06\00:00:43.70
THINK YOU'LL SEE IT;
IT'S CLEAR; IT'S THERE.
00:00:43.70\00:00:48.63
AND HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS:
00:00:48.63\00:00:50.03
AND WHEN THE MORNING AROSE,
THEN THE ANGEL HASTENED LOT,
00:00:51.00\00:00:55.26
SAYING, ARISE, TAKE THY WIFE
AND THY TWO DAUGHTERS, WHICH
00:00:55.26\00:01:00.06
ARE HERE, LEST THOU BE CONSUMED
IN THE INEQUITY OF THE CITY.
00:01:00.06\00:01:05.33
AND WHILE HE LINGERED, THE
MEN LAID HOLD UPON HIS HAND,
00:01:06.16\00:01:10.56
UPON THE HAND OF HIS
WIFE, AND UPON THE HAND OF HIS
00:01:10.56\00:01:14.36
TWO DAUGHTERS: THE LORD
BEING MERCIFUL UNTO HIM.
00:01:14.36\00:01:17.76
AND THEY BROUGHT HIM FORTH
AND SET HIM WITHOUT THE CITY.
00:01:17.76\00:01:23.16
WILL YOU PRAY WITH ME ?
00:01:23.16\00:01:26.23
FATHER IN HEAVEN, TODAY WE
CALL UPON THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
00:01:26.23\00:01:33.63
OH, HOW WE HAVE SEEN THY POWER.
00:01:33.63\00:01:36.33
OH, HOW WE HAVE
EXPERIENCED THE LOVE OF JESUS.
00:01:36.33\00:01:40.20
IN FACT, WE HAVE COME TO
BELIEVE THAT THE REAL POWER
00:01:40.20\00:01:44.76
OF GOD IS DEMONSTRATED IN
THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST FOR US.
00:01:44.76\00:01:51.10
AND SO THIS MORNING OUR HEARTS
REACH OUT WITH GRATITUDE, BUT
00:01:51.10\00:01:54.70
OUR BIBLES ARE OPEN, BECAUSE
THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT
00:01:54.70\00:01:59.53
YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH US.
00:01:59.53\00:02:01.80
FATHER, AS I HAVE DONE
IN MY PRIVATE PRAYERS, I
00:02:01.80\00:02:05.60
OFFER WHAT LITTLE I BRING.
00:02:05.60\00:02:08.40
IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
00:02:08.40\00:02:10.43
IT'S NOT NEARLY ENOUGH
FOR WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO.
00:02:10.43\00:02:14.23
BUT I YIELD IT INTO YOUR POWER.
00:02:14.23\00:02:17.13
TAKE CHARGE OF MY MIND
AND MY HEART AND MY MOUTH.
00:02:17.13\00:02:21.36
AND USE WHATEVER YOU
CAN AFTER YOU HAVE FILLED
00:02:21.36\00:02:24.43
IT WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:02:24.43\00:02:26.90
BRING GLORY TO YOURSELF.
00:02:26.90\00:02:28.76
LET MY NAME BE FORGOTTEN,
BUT LET YOURS BE REMEMBERED.
00:02:28.76\00:02:33.76
AND AS WE LEAVE THIS
PLACE TODAY, WE SHALL GO GIVING
00:02:33.76\00:02:36.76
PRAISE, HONOR AND
GLORY, FOR IT IS IN THE NAME OF
00:02:36.76\00:02:41.10
JESUS THAT WE PRAY, AMEN.
00:02:41.10\00:02:44.56
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THESE
TWO ANGELS BROUGHT LOT AND HIS
00:02:44.56\00:02:52.00
FAMILY, HIS SMALL FAMILY.
00:02:52.00\00:02:55.76
YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER
THAT THERE WERE OTHER CHILDREN.
00:02:55.76\00:02:59.16
THERE WERE DAUGHTERS
WHO WERE MARRIED, BUT THESE
00:02:59.16\00:03:03.03
FAMILY MEMBERS WERE
TAINTED BY THE CHOICE OF LOT.
00:03:03.03\00:03:08.40
LOT WAS A SELFISH NEPHEW.
00:03:08.40\00:03:13.36
HIS UNCLE, ABRAHAM,
SHARED EVERYTHING WITH LOT.
00:03:13.36\00:03:19.53
BUT LOT WAS NOT
OF THE SAME MIND.
00:03:19.53\00:03:22.83
HE CHOSE FOR HIMSELF THE BEST.
00:03:22.83\00:03:25.20
YOU WOULD THINK THAT WHEN
ABRAHAM AND LOT CAME TO LOOK AT
00:03:25.20\00:03:28.66
THAT BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY THAT
WAS SPREAD OUT BEFORE THEM, YOU
00:03:28.66\00:03:32.03
WOULD THINK THAT THE NEPHEW
WOULD HAVE SAID, YOU, UNCLE
00:03:32.03\00:03:35.63
ABRAHAM, YOU CHOOSE WHAT'S BEST.
00:03:35.63\00:03:38.83
AND WHATEVER'S
LEFT, I'LL TAKE IT.
00:03:38.83\00:03:41.83
I CAN'T.
00:03:41.83\00:03:42.66
I CAN'T.
00:03:42.66\00:03:43.40
I WON'T DARE TO LET MY
CHOICE SUPERSEDE YOURS.
00:03:43.40\00:03:47.96
BUT WHEN ABRAHAM,
IN HIS KINDNESS, SAID,
00:03:47.96\00:03:51.10
WHAT DO YOU WANT ?
00:03:51.10\00:03:52.56
LOT LOOKED DOWN ON THE MOST
RICH SOIL THAT WAS IN THAT AREA.
00:03:52.56\00:03:59.33
IN FACT, SOME WOULD ARGUE
IT WAS THE RICHEST SOIL ON
00:03:59.33\00:04:02.83
THE FACE OF THE PLANET.
00:04:02.83\00:04:05.66
IT REMINDED HIM, ONE OF
MY FAVORITE WRITERS SAYS,
00:04:05.66\00:04:09.40
OF THE GARDEN OF GOD.
00:04:09.40\00:04:12.10
WHAT THEY HAD HEARD OF EDEN THAT
HAD PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION
00:04:12.10\00:04:16.36
TO GENERATION, WHEN THEY LOOKED
AT THIS WONDERFUL REAL ESTATE,
00:04:16.36\00:04:22.03
IT REMINDED THEM OF WHAT
GOD'S HANDS MUST HAVE CREATED
00:04:22.03\00:04:25.36
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
00:04:25.36\00:04:26.73
AND WHEN LOT SAW IT, WHEN
LOT LOOKED DOWN, AND I MUST TELL
00:04:26.73\00:04:29.80
YOU THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT
I MISSED FOR YEARS ABOUT THIS.
00:04:29.80\00:04:34.30
LOT NOT ONLY LOOKED AT
THE TOPOGRAPHY, BUT HE LOOKED
00:04:34.30\00:04:38.26
AT THE WEALTH OF THE CITIES.
00:04:38.26\00:04:42.06
WHEN HE SAW THE CITIES,
THERE WERE RICH PEOPLE THERE.
00:04:42.06\00:04:46.56
AND WHAT HE THOUGHT FIRST WAS,
I CAN GO AND MINGLE WITH THEM.
00:04:46.56\00:04:51.10
I CAN HAVE POWER AMONG THEM.
00:04:51.10\00:04:53.63
I CAN BE MORE
WEALTHY THAN THEY ARE.
00:04:53.63\00:04:57.93
SO I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU
THAT SOMETHING THAT SWAYED
00:04:57.93\00:05:02.70
THE HEART OF LOT WAS
WHAT HE COULD GET FOR HIMSELF.
00:05:02.70\00:05:06.36
IT WAS GREED FOR
WEALTH AND POWER.
00:05:06.36\00:05:10.96
I SUGGEST TO YOU TODAY THAT EVEN
AMONG US, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
00:05:11.86\00:05:14.46
PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTESTS SAYING,
I AM POORER THAN YOU ARE.
00:05:14.46\00:05:19.26
MY FAMILY WAS POORER THAN YOURS.
00:05:19.26\00:05:21.46
BUT AMONG THE POOR
THERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST
00:05:21.46\00:05:24.00
AVARICIOUS DREAMS.
00:05:24.00\00:05:26.03
HOW DO I KNOW ?
00:05:26.03\00:05:27.46
I'VE BEEN POOR ALL MY LIFE.
00:05:27.46\00:05:30.30
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO
THINK THAT IF YOU ARE POOR,
00:05:30.30\00:05:32.46
YOU MUST BE HUMBLE.
00:05:32.46\00:05:33.66
IT'S NOT SO.
00:05:33.66\00:05:35.26
SOME OF THE PROUDEST PEOPLE
IN THE WORLD ARE POOR PEOPLE
00:05:36.16\00:05:38.46
WHO GET A LITTLE SOMETHING.
00:05:38.46\00:05:40.63
OH, RICH PEOPLE ARE
CERTAINLY FULL OF PRIDE.
00:05:40.63\00:05:44.40
BUT PRIDE IS NOT
THEIR UNIQUE EXPERIENCE.
00:05:44.40\00:05:48.56
THE PRIDE THAT LOT HAD CAN
BE ALL OF OURS WHEN WE MAKE
00:05:48.56\00:05:53.06
CHOICES BASED ON WHAT WE CAN
GAIN AND NOT WHAT WE CAN GIVE.
00:05:53.06\00:06:00.76
WHAT WE CAN DRAW TO
OURSELVES, NOT WHAT WE
00:06:00.76\00:06:03.83
CAN SPREAD TO OTHERS.
00:06:03.83\00:06:06.16
WHAT WE CAN DO TO LIFT
OUR OWN NAME AND NOT TO
00:06:06.16\00:06:08.86
LIFT THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:06:08.86\00:06:10.93
OH, WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN IN OUR LIVES IF WE'D
00:06:10.93\00:06:12.96
EVER PUT JESUS FIRST.
00:06:12.96\00:06:14.90
IF WE'D EVER MAKE CHOICES,
IF WE'D EVER ACKNOWLEDGE
00:06:14.90\00:06:18.00
HIM IN ALL OF OUR WAYS
AND LET HIM DIRECT OUR PATHS.
00:06:18.00\00:06:21.70
SOME OF US WOULD HAVE
PASSED UP SOME HORRIBLE
00:06:21.70\00:06:24.26
SITUATIONS IN OUR
LIVES, BUT WE CHOSE TO TRY TO
00:06:24.26\00:06:27.43
GET OURSELVES AHEAD.
00:06:27.43\00:06:29.10
AND USUALLY WHEN YOU
CHOOSE TO PUT YOU AHEAD, YOU END
00:06:29.10\00:06:32.40
UP END IN BAD CONDITION
BECAUSE OF YOUR OWN AVARICE
00:06:32.40\00:06:36.40
AND YOUR OWN SELFISHNESS.
00:06:36.40\00:06:38.26
LOT CHOSE THE RICHEST AND
GAVE TO HIS UNCLE FARMLAND.
00:06:38.26\00:06:47.26
AND YOU WOULD SAY,
THAT'S A GOOD CHOICE.
00:06:47.26\00:06:50.76
ANYBODY WHO LOOKED
AT IT IN A BUSINESS WAY.
00:06:50.76\00:06:52.90
ANYBODY WHO STUDIED IT
FROM THAT ANGLE WOULD SAY,
00:06:52.90\00:06:56.43
AH, SHREWD MAN THAT LOT.
00:06:56.43\00:06:59.26
YOU KNOW, LOVE IS ONE
THING, BUSINESS IS ANOTHER.
00:06:59.26\00:07:03.06
SO HE CHOSE THE LAND
THAT WAS DEVELOPED, THE
00:07:03.06\00:07:05.96
LAND THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
00:07:05.96\00:07:07.23
IT HAD WATER.
00:07:07.23\00:07:08.86
IT HAD EVERYTHING THAT
WAS NEEDED TO HAVE GREAT CROPS
00:07:08.86\00:07:12.76
AND BEAUTIFUL SITUATIONS.
00:07:12.76\00:07:15.66
BUT HE LEFT TO HIS UNCLE
FARMLAND WITH THE OAKS OF
00:07:15.66\00:07:19.96
MAMMARY AND VINES AND
THERE WERE GRAPEVINES.
00:07:19.96\00:07:24.50
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL LAND,
BUT IT WAS TOO RURAL IN NATURE.
00:07:24.50\00:07:31.80
I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO PERSONAL
WITH YOU, BUT I KNOW PEOPLE
00:07:31.80\00:07:36.16
WHO THINK THAT RURAL IS
GOING SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU HAVE
00:07:36.16\00:07:39.33
TO GO OUTSIDE AND GET
WATER TO RUN INTO A CUP.
00:07:39.33\00:07:43.66
THEY THINK IF THERE IS
NO 5-STAR HOTEL, IT'S RURAL.
00:07:43.66\00:07:48.46
THEY THINK THAT ANYWHERE
THAT DOESN'T HAVE A PLACE WHERE
00:07:48.46\00:07:51.43
YOU CAN GO TO A BED THAT'S
ELEVATED AND WITH ONE OF THOSE
00:07:51.43\00:07:55.16
BEAUTIFUL NEW THINGS THAT
THE ASTRONAUTS DEVELOPED SO YOU
00:07:55.16\00:07:59.03
CAN LAY DOWN AND WHEN YOU
GET UP YOUR FORM IS IN THE BED.
00:07:59.03\00:08:02.80
AND THEN SOON IT RISES UP.
00:08:02.80\00:08:04.13
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE OF THOSE,
YOU ARE IN RURAL TERRITORY.
00:08:04.13\00:08:08.83
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING TO
BE SAID FOR LIVING IN NATURE.
00:08:08.83\00:08:14.53
AND ABRAHAM PITCHED
HIS TENT UNDER THE OAKS.
00:08:14.53\00:08:19.76
ABRAHAM LOOKED
AT GOD'S CREATIONS.
00:08:19.76\00:08:23.23
ABRAHAM LIVED A SIMPLE
LIFE, WHERE THE NOISE WAS LOW.
00:08:23.23\00:08:28.96
THE DECIBEL LEVEL DROPPED AND
HE COULD HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD.
00:08:28.96\00:08:36.03
I'M NOT SAYING YOU CAN'T
HEAR GOD'S VOICE IN THE CITY.
00:08:36.03\00:08:38.33
I KNOW YOU CAN.
00:08:38.33\00:08:40.26
BUT THE FACT IS THAT
WHEN IT'S QUIET, WHEN YOU
00:08:40.26\00:08:43.13
CAN HEAR INSECTS, WHEN YOU
CAN HEAR BIRDS, WHEN YOU CAN
00:08:43.13\00:08:47.10
LOOK AT A CLEAR SKY AND
SEE BEAUTIFUL WHITE CLOUDS,
00:08:47.10\00:08:51.63
THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE
SAID ABOUT THE VERGER OF NATURE.
00:08:51.63\00:08:55.56
AND ABRAHAM WAS
SURROUNDED BY IT.
00:08:55.56\00:08:57.70
AND HE WOULD LOOK DOWN
INTO THE PLAIN AND HE WOULD
00:08:57.70\00:09:00.53
SEE THE WONDERFUL ENTERPRISE
THAT WAS GOING FORWARD.
00:09:00.53\00:09:05.10
BUT THE ENTERPRISE HAS A NOISE.
00:09:05.10\00:09:07.66
AND THE ENTERPRISE TAKES A COST.
00:09:07.66\00:09:11.86
YOU MUST PAY TO
BE IN THE RAT RACE.
00:09:11.86\00:09:16.26
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE RIGHT
NOW, AND I'M GOING TO LOOK AWAY
00:09:16.26\00:09:18.63
WHEN I SAY THIS, WHO CAN BARELY
TAKE IT WHEN IT GETS QUIET.
00:09:18.63\00:09:26.03
THEY GET NERVOUS.
00:09:26.03\00:09:27.83
WHAT'S WRONG ?
00:09:27.83\00:09:28.76
SOMETHING'S STRANGE.
00:09:28.76\00:09:29.90
WHEN THEY HEAR CRICKETS,
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
00:09:29.90\00:09:34.63
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
BEEN SO LONG IN THE NOISE, THE
00:09:34.63\00:09:37.93
HUMDRUM OF THE CITY THAT WHEN
IT GETS QUIET THEY FEEL LIKE
00:09:37.93\00:09:42.30
THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG, THAT THE RHYTHM OF THEIR
00:09:42.30\00:09:44.96
LIVES HAS GONE OUT OF SYNC.
00:09:44.96\00:09:48.36
BUT ABRAHAM, LIVING THERE,
STAYED CLOSE TO GOD, WHILE LOT
00:09:48.36\00:09:52.76
AND HIS CHILDREN, ALONG WITH HIS
WIFE--YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT HE
00:09:52.76\00:09:57.50
MARRIED A WOMAN WHO WAS SELFISH.
00:09:57.50\00:10:02.63
YOU HEARD ME
PREACH ABOUT MARRIAGE.
00:10:02.63\00:10:04.50
IT'S IMPORTANT.
00:10:04.50\00:10:05.66
YOU CAN MAKE IT WITH A
BAD SPOUSE, BUT IT'S NOT EASY.
00:10:05.66\00:10:10.70
YOU WILL FIGHT EVERY DAY OF YOUR
LIFE TO TRY TO CLING TO WHAT
00:10:10.70\00:10:13.56
YOU BELIEVE IN IF YOU MARRY
SOMEONE WHO IS AGAINST YOUR GOD.
00:10:13.56\00:10:18.66
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL.
00:10:18.66\00:10:20.40
THE FIRST PREREQUISITE
OUGHT TO BE SOMEBODY WHO
00:10:20.40\00:10:23.33
BELIEVES IN YOUR GOD.
00:10:23.33\00:10:25.76
FOR IF YOU CANNOT GO TO
GOD TOGETHER, YOU ARE SEPARATED
00:10:25.76\00:10:29.13
AT A PLACE THAT IS CRUCIAL.
00:10:29.13\00:10:31.63
AND THIS WIFE OF HIS
DID NOT WANT HIM TO BE CLOSE
00:10:31.63\00:10:35.90
TO HIS UNCLE, SO SHE KEPT HIM.
00:10:35.90\00:10:38.03
AT EVERY MOMENT THAT
SHE COULD SAY SOMETHING, SHE
00:10:38.03\00:10:40.43
PULLED HIM AWAY FROM ABRAHAM.
00:10:40.43\00:10:42.63
IN FACT, LOT MIGHT
HAVE LEFT SODOM AGES BEFORE
00:10:42.63\00:10:49.03
THIS TROUBLE CAME IF IT
HAD NOT BEEN FOR HIS WIFE.
00:10:49.03\00:10:53.33
SHE WAS ALWAYS SAYING A
LITTLE SOMETHING, A LITTLE JAB.
00:10:53.33\00:10:57.43
YOU'VE GOT TO
CALL ABRAHAM AGAIN.
00:10:57.43\00:10:59.33
YOU'VE GOT TO GO TO HIM AGAIN.
00:10:59.33\00:11:00.60
WHY DO YOU TRAVEL
SO FAR TO SEE HIM ?
00:11:00.60\00:11:02.53
CAN'T YOU LIVE ON YOUR OWN ?
00:11:02.53\00:11:04.46
AREN'T YOU A MAN ON YOUR OWN ?
00:11:04.46\00:11:07.60
ISN'T IT TIME THAT YOU
LET GO OF THE STRINGS THAT
00:11:07.60\00:11:11.03
CONNECT YOU TO ABRAHAM ?
00:11:11.03\00:11:12.96
CAN'T YOU THINK INDEPENDENTLY ?
00:11:12.96\00:11:16.10
BUT REMEMBER THAT ALL OF
HIS BLESSINGS HAD COME BECAUSE
00:11:16.10\00:11:19.86
OF THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM.
00:11:19.86\00:11:24.10
HE HAD BEEN INNOCULATED WITH
THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM, SO THAT
00:11:24.10\00:11:29.20
HIS LIFE WAS STRONGER,
SO THAT HIS FAITH GREW UNDER
00:11:29.20\00:11:34.23
THE TUTELAGE OF ABRAHAM.
00:11:34.23\00:11:35.93
AND HIS WIFE
SAID, DON'T GO NEAR HIM.
00:11:35.93\00:11:39.20
SO THEY SPENT THEIR
LIVES IN A WICKED CITY.
00:11:39.20\00:11:42.93
YOU CAN MAKE IT IN A
WICKED CITY, BUT YOU'VE GOT
00:11:42.93\00:11:46.66
TO HOLD ON TO JESUS.
00:11:46.66\00:11:49.73
YOU CAN'T JUST
WEAKLY TOUCH AND GO.
00:11:49.73\00:11:53.83
YOU'VE GOT TO PICK UP
YOUR BIBLE AND READ IT.
00:11:53.83\00:11:56.90
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE WHO READ THE
BIBLE FOR OTHER FOLKS, PROVING
00:11:56.90\00:12:00.56
THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE WRONG.
00:12:00.56\00:12:02.93
READING IT FOR PROOF
THAT I'M BETTER THAN YOU ARE.
00:12:02.93\00:12:05.96
READING IT FOR AMMUNITION
SO THAT WHEN I SEE YOU I
00:12:05.96\00:12:08.90
CAN SAY SOME SHARP
THING FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:08.90\00:12:11.70
THAT'S NOT WHAT THE
BIBLE WAS WRITTEN FOR.
00:12:11.70\00:12:15.20
IT WAS WRITTEN TO
NOURISH YOUR SOUL.
00:12:15.20\00:12:19.30
SO YOU OUGHT NOT, YOU KNOW, I
DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE
00:12:19.30\00:12:22.16
PEOPLE WHO SAY I LET MY BIBLE
FALL OPEN AND SEE WHAT IT SAYS.
00:12:22.16\00:12:25.06
BUT AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE
YOU OUGHT NOT LET IT FALL OPEN,
00:12:25.06\00:12:27.73
YOU OUGHT TO START AT THE
BEGINNING AND READ, READ SLOWLY.
00:12:27.73\00:12:33.40
NOT SPEED READING.
00:12:33.40\00:12:35.56
TAKE IN EVERY MORSEL
OF IT, BECAUSE THE WORD OF
00:12:35.56\00:12:39.00
GOD BRINGS FAITH.
00:12:39.00\00:12:41.93
AND I SUGGEST TO YOU THAT
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS FAMILY
00:12:41.93\00:12:45.20
WAS THAT IT BEGAN TO
MINGLE WITH THE PEOPLE OF SODOM,
00:12:45.20\00:12:51.33
PARTICULARLY THE CHILDREN.
00:12:51.33\00:12:54.56
NOW, I USED TO SAY THAT
YOUNG PEOPLE WERE IN MUCH MORE
00:12:54.56\00:12:59.86
DANGER THAN OLDER ONES.
00:12:59.86\00:13:03.26
BUT I BELIEVE
TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
00:13:03.26\00:13:06.06
THERE WAS A TIME
WHEN TO BE OLDER WAS TO
00:13:06.06\00:13:08.73
BE MORE EXPERIENCED.
00:13:08.73\00:13:11.36
I DON'T WANT TO SOUND
TRITE, BUT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
00:13:11.36\00:13:14.36
WHO ARE 50 YEARS OLD,
BUT THEY ONLY HAVE ONE YEAR
00:13:14.36\00:13:17.96
OF EXPERIENCE, 50 TIMES.
00:13:17.96\00:13:25.00
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE
WAY, YOU'VE GOT TO START
00:13:25.00\00:13:28.43
CONNECTING THE DOTS.
00:13:28.43\00:13:30.43
YOU OUGHT TO LEARN SOMETHING
FROM LAST YEAR AND BUILD
00:13:30.43\00:13:32.76
ON IT THIS YEAR.
00:13:32.76\00:13:34.30
AND NEXT YEAR YOU OUGHT TO
KNOW SOMETHING MORE AND NEXT,
00:13:34.30\00:13:36.70
MORE, UNTIL YOU CAN LOOK BACK
AND SEE, IN A CLEAR PATH, WHAT
00:13:36.70\00:13:41.66
GOD IS SAYING TO YOU.
00:13:41.66\00:13:43.46
YOU OUGHT TO HAVE SOMETHING
TO SHARE THAT LIFTS UP.
00:13:43.46\00:13:48.63
BUT WE HAVE COME TO A
TIME NOW WHERE AGE DOES
00:13:48.63\00:13:51.63
NOT GUARANTEE WISDOM.
00:13:51.63\00:13:55.30
IN FACT, THERE ARE OLDER PEOPLE
WHO ARE REGRESSING TO CHILDHOOD.
00:13:55.30\00:14:02.83
I KNOW WHAT IT
IS TO BE A TEENAGER.
00:14:02.83\00:14:05.60
THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE
HERE FROM PINE FORGE ACADEMY.
00:14:05.60\00:14:08.30
THEY WILL NOT IDENTIFY
WITH WHAT I SAY, BECAUSE I WAS
00:14:08.30\00:14:11.43
THERE LONG, LONG AGO.
00:14:11.43\00:14:13.13
BUT I REMEMBER
COMING FROM THE SOUTH.
00:14:13.13\00:14:16.96
I'D LIVED IN THE
SOUTH ALL MY LIFE.
00:14:16.96\00:14:18.93
AND I WENT TO PINE
FORGE ACADEMY, THE FIRST TIME
00:14:18.93\00:14:20.80
I HAD EVER CROSSED
THE MASON-DIXON LINE.
00:14:20.80\00:14:23.70
I GOT INTO PHILADELPHIA
AND SAW THINGS THAT I'D
00:14:23.70\00:14:25.83
NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
00:14:25.83\00:14:26.76
THERE WERE PEOPLE
WHO MOVED DIFFERENTLY.
00:14:26.76\00:14:29.43
THERE WAS A
DIFFERENT RHYTHM IN THE NORTH.
00:14:29.43\00:14:32.13
AND IT FRIGHTENED ME.
00:14:32.13\00:14:35.83
I GOT OFF THE TRAIN AND
GOT IN A CORNER AND WATCHED.
00:14:35.83\00:14:40.63
AND WHILE I WAS WATCHING, PEOPLE
CAME AND ROLLED UP THEIR SLEEVES
00:14:40.63\00:14:42.96
WITH 20 WATCHES UP THEIR ARMS.
00:14:42.96\00:14:48.06
SOMEBODY WOULD COME
AND SAY, HEY, LOOK, I'VE
00:14:48.06\00:14:50.16
GOT A LOT OF MONEY.
00:14:50.16\00:14:50.96
I WANT YOU TO
HELP ME GET RID OF IT.
00:14:50.96\00:14:52.53
AND I DIDN'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
00:14:52.53\00:14:54.16
I KNEW MY MOTHER HAD TOLD
ME IF THIS MONEY THAT I GIVE
00:14:54.16\00:14:56.06
YOU TO GET IN SCHOOL
GOES ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THAT,
00:14:56.06\00:14:58.20
I WILL COME AND KILL YOU.
00:14:58.20\00:15:03.13
SO NOT A PENNY LEFT MY POCKET.
00:15:03.13\00:15:06.33
AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT
TO PINE FORGE ACADEMY, I SAW
00:15:06.33\00:15:08.80
SOMETHING THAT WAS AMAZING.
00:15:08.80\00:15:10.80
I SAW PEOPLE WALK AS THOUGH
ONE OF THEIR LIMBS WAS INJURED.
00:15:10.80\00:15:20.53
THEY PULLED UP THEIR
HANDS INTO THEIR SLEEVE
00:15:20.53\00:15:25.40
AND WALKED LIKE THIS.
00:15:25.40\00:15:32.26
I REMEMBER STANDING IN
FRONT OF MY MIRROR IN MY ROOM.
00:15:32.26\00:15:39.06
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHICH LEG WOULD BE HURT.
00:15:39.06\00:15:43.96
I DID IT UNTIL I GOT IT RIGHT.
00:15:44.96\00:15:47.56
ONE DAY I DARED TO
STEP OUT AND TRY IT.
00:15:47.56\00:15:50.26
I LOOKED AT EVERYBODY
ELSE, PULLED MY HANDS UP AGAIN,
00:15:50.26\00:15:53.96
DISCOVERED THAT THE REASON
WHY SOME OF THEM WERE PULLING
00:15:53.96\00:15:56.43
THEIR HANDS UP IN THEIR SLEEVES
WAS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE
00:15:56.43\00:15:59.13
GLOVES AND IT WAS COLD.
00:15:59.13\00:16:03.13
I HADN'T FIGURED OUT YET
WHY THEY WALKED LIKE THAT, BUT I
00:16:05.80\00:16:08.90
LEARNED HOW TO DO IT, BECAUSE I
HAD TO BE PART OF THE MAJORITY.
00:16:08.90\00:16:13.23
THE CHILDREN OF LOT
WATCHED THE PEOPLE OF SODOM.
00:16:13.23\00:16:20.60
AND THEY WALKED LIKE THEM.
00:16:20.60\00:16:23.36
AND THEY TALKED LIKE THEM.
00:16:23.36\00:16:25.36
AND DON'T FOOL YOURSELF.
00:16:25.36\00:16:27.36
EVENTUALLY THEY
WERE LIKE ONE OF THEM.
00:16:27.36\00:16:32.03
AND I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT
THE YOUNG PEOPLE, SO OLDER FOLK,
00:16:32.03\00:16:34.83
I'VE PULLED YOU IN EARLY.
00:16:34.83\00:16:36.93
YOU NEED TO BE IN.
00:16:36.93\00:16:38.76
NOBODY CAN LOOK DOWN THEIR
NOSES ANYMORE, BECAUSE WE'VE
00:16:38.76\00:16:41.60
GOT SOME OLD FOLKS MIMICKING
THE WORLD, TRYING TO ACT LIKE
00:16:41.60\00:16:45.76
PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW GOD.
00:16:45.76\00:16:47.26
SHAME ON YOU, BUT
THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
00:16:47.26\00:16:50.00
AND SOME OF US ARE EVEN
MORE RIDICULOUS THAN CHILDREN.
00:16:50.00\00:16:52.33
WE CAN EXCUSE IT IN THE YOUNG,
BUT WHEN YOU GET OLD ENOUGH
00:16:52.33\00:16:56.23
TO KNOW BETTER. . .I TELL
YOU THAT THEY BEGAN TO GROW LIKE
00:16:56.23\00:17:01.00
THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM.
00:17:01.00\00:17:03.23
AND EVENTUALLY THERE CAME A
DAY WHEN GOD LOOKED DOWN IN THE
00:17:03.23\00:17:09.70
WEALTH OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH,
AND REALIZED THAT IF HE KEPT
00:17:09.70\00:17:16.33
ON LETTING IT GO THAT
NOBODY WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.
00:17:16.33\00:17:24.03
IN FACT, I'M GOING TO SUGGEST
SOMETHING TO YOU BEFORE I GET
00:17:24.03\00:17:26.26
INTO THE REAL MEAT OF WHAT I
WANT TO SAY ABOUT MERCY TODAY.
00:17:26.26\00:17:30.96
WHENEVER GOD SEES WICKEDNESS
ADVANCING TOO QUICKLY AND
00:17:30.96\00:17:35.66
TOO BROADLY, HE UNDERSTANDS
THAT UNLESS HE INTERCEDES
00:17:35.66\00:17:41.46
THERE WILL FINALLY BE
NO RIGHTEOUSNESS LEFT.
00:17:41.46\00:17:46.60
AND LISTEN TO ME.
00:17:46.60\00:17:47.63
DON'T YOU EVER FOOL YOURSELF.
00:17:47.63\00:17:49.80
I DON'T CARE HOW WICKED IT MAY
SEEM IN THIS WORLD OF OURS NOW,
00:17:49.80\00:17:53.23
THERE IS STILL SOMEBODY
DETERMINED TO FOLLOW JESUS.
00:17:53.23\00:18:01.00
IN FACT, I'M PROUD TO SAY
THAT SOME OF THOSE FOLKS HAVE
00:18:01.00\00:18:03.73
DECIDED TO BE BAPTIZED TODAY.
00:18:03.73\00:18:05.56
THEY RECOGNIZE THAT THEY ARE
NOT CHOOSING THE POPULAR PATH.
00:18:05.56\00:18:08.90
IT'S NOT A BROAD WAY
THAT THEY WILL TRAVEL.
00:18:08.90\00:18:11.70
IT'S THE NARROW WAY
THAT THEY WILL TRAVEL.
00:18:11.70\00:18:14.16
BUT IF JESUS GOES THAT WAY, THEN
THAT'S THE WAY I WANT TO GO.
00:18:14.16\00:18:19.00
ALL I NEED TO DO IS
SEE HIS FORM MOVING.
00:18:19.00\00:18:22.63
IN FACT, WHEN THE BIBLE TALKS
ABOUT THAT MOMENT OF JESUS'S
00:18:22.63\00:18:25.40
TRANSFIGURATION, THE DISCIPLES
FOLLOWED JESUS UP A MOUNT
00:18:25.40\00:18:28.63
AFTER DARK AND EVENTUALLY
THEY COULD NOT SEE THE PATH.
00:18:28.63\00:18:32.36
ALL THEY COULD SEE
WAS JESUS MOVING AND THEY
00:18:32.36\00:18:34.96
FOLLOWED HIS FORM.
00:18:34.96\00:18:36.36
I TELL YOU THAT TODAY IT
MAY GET DARK, BUT ALL I NEED TO
00:18:36.36\00:18:39.80
SEE IS WHERE JESUS IS MOVING.
00:18:39.80\00:18:42.83
AND IF I CAN TRACE HIS STEPS
IN THE WORD OF GOD, THEN ALL
00:18:42.83\00:18:46.53
I NEED TO DO IS FOLLOW HIM.
00:18:46.53\00:18:51.40
AND YOU MUST KNOW THAT THERE
ARE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW WHO HAVE
00:18:51.40\00:18:56.10
DETERMINED THAT NO
MATTER HOW THINGS CHANGE, THEY
00:18:56.10\00:18:59.03
WILL FOLLOW JESUS.
00:18:59.03\00:19:00.53
THEY'D RATHER OBEY GOD THAN MAN.
00:19:00.53\00:19:03.80
AND THIS IS NOT IN THE BIBLE.
00:19:03.80\00:19:05.26
THIS IS NOT IN
INSPIRED LITERATURE.
00:19:05.26\00:19:07.80
THIS IS A PEARSON QUOTE.
00:19:07.80\00:19:10.16
IN ORDER TO BE A
CHRISTIAN, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A
00:19:10.16\00:19:12.23
BRAIN AND A BACKBONE.
00:19:12.23\00:19:16.63
THERE WILL BE NO NAMBI PAMBI
PUSILLANIMOUS PEOPLE IN HEAVEN.
00:19:16.63\00:19:23.06
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE
ENOUGH BRAIN POWER TO KNOW
00:19:23.06\00:19:24.96
WHERE GOD LEADS YOU.
00:19:24.96\00:19:26.90
AND YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE
ENOUGH BACKBONE TO FOLLOW HIM.
00:19:26.90\00:19:29.23
I DON'T CARE
WHERE ANYBODY ELSE GOES.
00:19:29.23\00:19:31.76
AND IF GOD BLESSES THEM BOTH,
THEN YOU'LL STAND UP FOR JESUS.
00:19:31.76\00:19:37.00
THE PROBLEM WITH THE
FAMILY OF LOT IS THAT WHEN THAT
00:19:37.00\00:19:39.93
LAND WAS OVERCOME WITH EVIL,
AND I DON'T NEED TO GO INTO
00:19:39.93\00:19:44.96
ALL THE DESCRIPTIONS.
00:19:44.96\00:19:47.06
THE NIGHT BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION
OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH, THAT WAS
00:19:47.06\00:19:52.46
THE NIGHT THE WORD
SODOMY TOOK ON ANOTHER MEANING.
00:19:52.46\00:19:57.73
IT WAS A HORRIFIC SITUATION.
00:19:57.73\00:20:00.20
THERE WERE ANGELS VISITING
AND HERE CAME THE MEN OF
00:20:00.20\00:20:06.16
SODOM SAYING, WE SAW
MEN COME INTO YOUR HOUSE.
00:20:06.16\00:20:09.96
LOT SAYS, I'VE GOT DAUGHTERS.
00:20:09.96\00:20:11.40
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT OFFER.
00:20:11.40\00:20:13.66
I'VE GOT ONE DAUGHTER.
00:20:13.66\00:20:14.60
I DON'T THINK, I DON'T
THINK I WOULD OFFER HER
00:20:14.60\00:20:17.73
IN THAT SITUATION.
00:20:17.73\00:20:19.40
BUT IN ORDER TO
PROTECT THOSE GUESTS, HE SAID,
00:20:19.40\00:20:21.73
I'VE GOT DAUGHTERS.
00:20:21.73\00:20:22.60
THEY'VE NEVER KNOWN A MAN.
00:20:22.60\00:20:23.63
LET ME BRING THEM.
00:20:23.63\00:20:24.33
THEY SAID, WE DON'T WANT THEM.
00:20:24.33\00:20:28.03
WE WANT THE MEN.
00:20:28.03\00:20:30.50
AND UNTIL THEY WERE STRUCK WITH
BLINDNESS, THEY WERE INSISTENT
00:20:30.50\00:20:36.16
ABOUT WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE.
00:20:36.16\00:20:38.23
AND WHAT THEY DID NOT KNOW
WAS THAT JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE
00:20:38.23\00:20:41.63
ANGELS HAD COME TO ABRAHAM.
00:20:41.63\00:20:45.10
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
00:20:45.10\00:20:47.90
IF YOU ARE IN SYNC
WITH GOD, GOD WILL TELL YOU
00:20:47.90\00:20:52.46
WHAT'S IN THE FUTURE.
00:20:52.46\00:20:56.66
IS IT TRUE ?
00:20:56.66\00:21:00.16
YOU KNOW, DON'T CONSULT
THOSE PEOPLE IN LITTLE TRAILERS.
00:21:00.16\00:21:08.13
NOBODY IN A TRAILER CAN TELL ME
WHERE TO FIND A MILLION DOLLARS.
00:21:08.13\00:21:12.33
IF THEY COULD, THEY
WOULDN'T BE IN THE TRAILER.
00:21:12.33\00:21:20.06
NOBODY ON AN 800 NUMBER
CAN TELL ME WHAT MY FUTURE IS.
00:21:20.06\00:21:24.63
IF THEY COULD, THEY WOULDN'T
BE ROBBING ME WHILE I'M TALKING
00:21:24.63\00:21:27.50
TO THEM ON THE 800 NUMBER.
00:21:27.50\00:21:30.33
DON'T LET ANYBODY IN A LITTLE
TENT WITH FUNNY LITTLE BALLS AND
00:21:30.33\00:21:33.43
STRANGE DECORATIONS, DON'T LET
THEM TELL YOU, IF SOMEBODY SAYS
00:21:33.43\00:21:37.56
YOUR RELATIVE HAS COME BACK TO
TALK TO YOU, WE'VE ALREADY CURED
00:21:37.56\00:21:40.96
THAT FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:21:40.96\00:21:43.03
YOUR RELATIVE HAS NOT COME BACK.
00:21:43.03\00:21:44.96
THESE ARE SPIRITS OF DEMONS.
00:21:44.96\00:21:49.50
IN FACT, YOU OUGHT TO BE CAREFUL
WHAT YOU READ IN THE NEWSPAPER.
00:21:49.50\00:21:53.80
TELLING YOU YOUR FUTURE.
00:21:53.80\00:21:54.70
I COULD WRITE THEM EASILY.
00:21:54.70\00:21:58.90
YOU WILL MEET A DARK STRANGER.
00:21:58.90\00:22:05.83
WHAT DAY IS IT THAT YOU
DON'T MEET A DARK STRANGER ?
00:22:05.83\00:22:15.43
WE'VE GOT TO LEARN THAT IF YOU
STAY WITH GOD, HE'LL WARN YOU.
00:22:15.43\00:22:22.26
HE'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S
ABOUT TO HAPPEN, AND HE WILL
00:22:22.26\00:22:25.26
PROTECT YOU IN IT.
00:22:25.26\00:22:27.33
SO, IN FACT, WHEN GOD WAS ABOUT
TO DESTROY IT, ANGELS CAME TO
00:22:27.33\00:22:31.40
ABRAHAM AND THEY SAID,
LOOK, WE CAME TO LET YOU KNOW.
00:22:31.40\00:22:35.76
WE'RE GOING TO
DESTROY SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:22:35.76\00:22:38.83
NOW, LISTEN, LISTEN.
00:22:38.83\00:22:40.30
THIS WASN'T SAYING WE'RE
GOING TO DESTROY WHERE YOU ARE.
00:22:40.30\00:22:43.70
JUST WANT TO TELL YOU BECAUSE
YOU ARE ON THE PAGE WITH GOD.
00:22:43.70\00:22:47.90
DO YOU SEE IT ?
00:22:47.90\00:22:50.13
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BE IN DIRECT DANGER.
00:22:50.13\00:22:52.96
GOD WILL COMMUNICATE NEWS TO
YOU, AND WILL ALWAYS BE CORRECT,
00:22:52.96\00:22:59.06
BECAUSE ANGELS BRING IT.
00:22:59.06\00:23:01.26
AND LISTEN.
00:23:01.26\00:23:02.10
YOU REMEMBER THE PRAYER.
00:23:02.10\00:23:03.66
ABRAHAM WAS A POWERFUL MAN.
00:23:03.66\00:23:05.83
HE NOT ONLY THOUGHT OF HIMSELF.
00:23:05.83\00:23:08.43
NOW, LET ME BE HONEST WITH YOU.
00:23:08.43\00:23:10.86
IF THE ANGELS HAD SAID, WE'RE
GOING TO DESTROY THAT LAND,
00:23:10.86\00:23:15.10
BUT YOUR LAND IS OKAY, I WOULD
HAVE SAID, WELL, SHALL WE EAT ?
00:23:15.10\00:23:24.13
BUT IF GOD IS IN YOUR HEART, YOU
WILL NOT ONLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT
00:23:24.13\00:23:27.76
YOURSELF, YOU'LL BE CONCERNED
ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE AROUND YOU.
00:23:27.76\00:23:33.90
YOU'LL WANT TO SHARE WHAT
YOU KNOW AND BRING SALVATION
00:23:33.90\00:23:39.43
TO YOUR NEIGHBORS.
00:23:39.43\00:23:41.60
SO ABRAHAM SAYS, I KNOW
YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY IT.
00:23:41.60\00:23:45.36
I KNOW THERE'S
REASON TO DESTROY IT.
00:23:45.36\00:23:47.86
BUT IF YOU COULD FIND 50 GOOD
PEOPLE, WOULD YOU SPARE IT ?
00:23:47.86\00:23:55.63
AND YOU KNOW THE STORY.
00:23:55.63\00:23:57.40
THERE WEREN'T 50 THERE.
00:23:57.40\00:23:59.30
AND THE NUMBERS WENT
DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN
00:23:59.30\00:24:01.26
UNTIL IT CAME TO 10.
00:24:01.26\00:24:04.46
DOES THAT
FRIGHTEN YOU A LITTLE BIT ?
00:24:04.46\00:24:07.40
IN A WHOLE METROPOLITAN
AREA, WHERE WEALTHY PEOPLE
00:24:07.40\00:24:11.63
WERE LIVING, WHERE
PEOPLE HAD EVERYTHING THAT
00:24:11.63\00:24:14.66
YOU COULD IMAGINE.
00:24:14.66\00:24:16.03
AND DON'T THINK THAT EVERYBODY
WAS LIVING WAY BACK THEN
00:24:16.03\00:24:19.23
IN HORRIBLE SITUATIONS.
00:24:19.23\00:24:21.03
THERE WERE WEALTHY
APPOINTMENTS IN THEIR HOMES.
00:24:21.03\00:24:24.23
THERE WERE ALL
KINDS OF OBJET D'ARTS.
00:24:24.23\00:24:26.76
THERE WERE CARPETS AND
HANGINGS THAT WERE DONE WELL.
00:24:26.76\00:24:30.96
THEY WERE DONE
WITH ARTFUL FINGERS.
00:24:30.96\00:24:33.00
IF YOU HAD STEPPED INSIDE ONE OF
THESE HOMES, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN
00:24:33.00\00:24:35.96
AMAZED AT THE BEAUTY INSIDE.
00:24:35.96\00:24:38.53
BUT THE BEAUTY WAS ALL IN
THEIR HOMES AND IN THEIR CLOTHES
00:24:38.53\00:24:42.00
AND NOT IN THEIR HEARTS.
00:24:42.00\00:24:44.03
YOU CAN PURCHASE
BEAUTY OUTSIDE, BUT YOU CANNOT
00:24:44.03\00:24:47.93
PURCHASE IT INSIDE.
00:24:47.93\00:24:50.53
IT MUST BE PAID FOR
BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
00:24:50.53\00:24:54.30
NOTHING CAN WASH AWAY YOUR
SIN BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
00:24:54.30\00:24:57.96
SO THEY LIVED IN BEAUTY.
00:24:57.96\00:25:01.06
THEY LIVED IN WEALTH,
BUT THEY WERE IMPOVERISHED
00:25:01.06\00:25:04.63
IN THEIR HEARTS.
00:25:04.63\00:25:05.63
AND THERE WERE
NOT 10 GOOD PEOPLE.
00:25:05.63\00:25:07.93
AND FINALLY,
ABRAHAM RESTED HIS CASE.
00:25:07.93\00:25:10.96
AND ON THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION,
THESE TWO PEOPLE CAME TO
00:25:10.96\00:25:15.70
LOT AND SAID, GET OUT.
00:25:15.70\00:25:18.90
HE SAID, LET ME GO AND
TALK TO MY OTHER DAUGHTERS.
00:25:18.90\00:25:20.86
HE WENT TO TALK TO THEM ON THE
NIGHT BEFORE DESTRUCTION, AND
00:25:20.86\00:25:24.43
THOSE DAUGHTERS, ALONG
WITH THEIR HUSBANDS, LAUGHED AT
00:25:24.43\00:25:29.30
THEIR FATHER AND FATHER-IN-
LAW, AND SAID, YOU ARE JOKING.
