JOIN US NOW AS PASTOR
PEARSON CONTINUES HIS MESSAGE
00:00:12.83\00:00:15.83
ENTITLED "PLAYING CHURCH."
00:00:15.83\00:00:18.26
(theme music)
THE CHURCH IS THERE
00:00:18.26\00:00:28.86
ALSO TO RELIEVE HUMAN MISERY.
00:00:28.86\00:00:32.23
MATTHEW, CHAPTER 25--IF
YOU BEGIN WITH VERSE 35 AND GO
00:00:32.23\00:00:36.00
TO VERSE 40, YOU WILL
FIND QUESTIONS BEING ASKED
00:00:36.00\00:00:39.46
THAT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU.
00:00:39.46\00:00:41.43
JESUS SAYS, I WAS IN
PRISON AND YOU DIDN'T VISIT ME.
00:00:41.43\00:00:47.33
I WAS HUNGRY AND
YOU DIDN'T FEED ME.
00:00:47.33\00:00:51.16
I WAS THIRSTY AND YOU
WOULDN'T GIVE ME DRINK.
00:00:51.16\00:00:55.20
AND SOMEONE ASKED WHEN
DID WE SEE YOU IN PRISON ?
00:00:55.20\00:00:59.80
WHEN WERE YOU NAKED ?
00:00:59.80\00:01:01.43
WHEN WERE YOU HUNGRY ?
00:01:01.43\00:01:02.93
HE SAID, WHEN YOU SEE THE
LEAST OF THESE, WHO ARE IN
00:01:02.93\00:01:07.90
THOSE SITUATIONS, IT
WAS ME YOU WERE LOOKING AT.
00:01:07.90\00:01:13.70
THE CHURCH MUST
ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS OF POVERTY
00:01:13.70\00:01:19.10
AND NEED, BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT JESUS DID WHEN HE WAS
00:01:19.10\00:01:23.50
ON EARTH IN HUMAN FORM.
00:01:23.50\00:01:26.03
NOW, I DON'T BELIEVE IN GIVING
TO EVERYONE WHO'S STANDING
00:01:26.03\00:01:30.80
BESIDE THE STREET WITH A SIGN.
00:01:30.80\00:01:33.90
YOU KNOW SOME OF THE
RUMORS ABOUT THOSE FOLKS.
00:01:33.90\00:01:36.83
AND I THINK IT OUGHT
TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE
00:01:36.83\00:01:38.90
ORGANIZED THEN THAT.
00:01:38.90\00:01:41.20
YOU OUGHT TO MAKE SURE
THAT PEOPLE ARE FED ALL YEAR,
00:01:41.20\00:01:44.46
NOT JUST AT THANKSGIVING.
00:01:44.46\00:01:51.20
HOW CAN SOMEBODY MAKE
IT FOR A WHOLE YEAR TO THE
00:01:51.20\00:01:54.26
NEXT THANKSGIVING ?
00:01:54.26\00:01:55.90
THE CHURCH CANNOT JUST BE
THERE ONCE OR THERE ON HOLIDAYS.
00:01:55.90\00:02:00.26
JESUS CALLS UPON
US TO FOLLOW HIM.
00:02:00.26\00:02:03.96
AND WE LOVE TO
FOLLOW HIM WHEN IT'S EASY.
00:02:03.96\00:02:06.83
WE'LL SING WITH HIM,
WE'LL DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
00:02:06.83\00:02:10.00
BUT, IF YOU WERE TO
FOLLOW JESUS, YOU MUST BE
00:02:10.00\00:02:12.30
SENSITIVE TO HUMAN NEED.
00:02:12.30\00:02:14.73
IF YOU'RE GOING TO FOLLOW JESUS,
YOU'VE GOT TO RECOGNIZE THAT
00:02:14.73\00:02:17.96
WE DO NOT CONDUCT BUSINESS ON
THE BASIS OF THUS SAYS BROTHER
00:02:17.96\00:02:23.06
OR SISTER SO AND SO.
00:02:23.06\00:02:26.56
OKAY, I MAY HAVE REACHED A
ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD NOW.
00:02:26.56\00:02:30.40
BUT JOHN, CHAPTER 8,
JOHN, CHAPTER 8, AND VERSE 32
00:02:30.40\00:02:35.50
HAS SOMETHING TO SAY.
00:02:35.50\00:02:38.10
JOHN, CHAPTER 8, VERSE 32.
00:02:38.10\00:02:40.23
AND YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND
THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE.
00:02:40.23\00:02:47.13
I KNOW, IN FACT,
FROM TIME TO TIME, I READ
00:02:47.13\00:02:50.46
A LITTLE LITERATURE.
00:02:50.46\00:02:51.43
YOU KNOW, AND I FEEL
MYSELF BEING DRAWN INTO IT.
00:02:51.43\00:02:56.83
SOMETIMES I AM "BICPANTAMATA."
00:02:56.83\00:03:02.20
SOMETIMES BEAUTIFUL POETRY.
00:03:02.20\00:03:05.36
AND I THINK, WHAT IF I WERE
TO START A SERMON, NOT BASED
00:03:05.36\00:03:09.86
ON THE WORD OF GOD BUT
ON THIS BEAUTIFUL VERSE.
00:03:09.86\00:03:15.36
SUPPOSE I WERE TO TAKE
THIS SUBLIME LANGUAGE AND
00:03:15.36\00:03:19.60
IMPRESS THE PEOPLE WITH
MY COMMAND OF THE POETRY ?
00:03:19.60\00:03:24.60
AND THEN I THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN.
00:03:24.60\00:03:26.90
EVERYBODY'S GOT POETRY.
00:03:26.90\00:03:29.30
WHAT THE CHURCH
NEEDS IS THE TRUTH.
00:03:29.30\00:03:33.60
PSALM 119, AND VERSE 105 SAYS,
THY WORD IS A LIGHT AND A LAMP.
00:03:33.60\00:03:41.10
IF WE WANT TO WALK AND NOT WALK
IN DARKNESS, WE OUGHT TO WALK
00:03:41.10\00:03:44.50
IN THE LIGHT OF GOD'S WORD.
00:03:44.50\00:03:47.63
SO, THE FACT IS THAT
CHURCHES OUGHT TO BE GOVERNED ON
00:03:47.63\00:03:51.83
THUS SAITH THE LORD.
00:03:51.83\00:03:56.50
NOT ON POPULARITY.
00:03:56.50\00:03:58.36
NOT ON WHO ATTENDS.
00:03:58.36\00:04:00.93
YOU KNOW, I'M IMPRESSED, TOO.
00:04:00.93\00:04:02.30
I'VE BEEN A PASTOR OF A
CHURCH WERE WE WOULD GET
00:04:02.30\00:04:04.73
CERTAIN MEMBERS.
00:04:04.73\00:04:06.30
AND THE FOLK WOULD SAY,
"DO YOU KNOW WHO'S COMING,
00:04:06.30\00:04:08.03
PASTOR TO HEAR YOU ?"
00:04:08.03\00:04:10.40
I'D SAY, "WHO ?"
00:04:10.40\00:04:11.36
"LOOK OUT THERE NEXT
SABBATH--SEE WHO'S THERE."
00:04:11.36\00:04:15.06
AND YOU KNOW IF YOU
GET CAUGHT UP IN THAT, THEN
00:04:15.06\00:04:16.86
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
DO WHEN THEY DON'T COME ?
00:04:16.86\00:04:20.93
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'LL DO,
I'LL TAKE THE SIMPLE WORD OF
00:04:20.93\00:04:23.10
GOD, WHICH IS A LIGHT AND
THE LAMP, I'LL TAKE WHOEVER
00:04:23.10\00:04:27.66
COMES AND I'LL JUST DO
WHAT GOD SAYS WITH IT AND LET'S
00:04:27.66\00:04:32.00
SEE WHAT GOD CAN ACCOMPLISH
THROUGH ORDINARY PEOPLE.
00:04:32.00\00:04:36.16
NOW, THE FACT IS
THAT GOD LOVES ALL PEOPLE.
00:04:36.16\00:04:39.60
HE LOVES THEM HIGH.
00:04:39.60\00:04:41.13
HE LOVES THEM LOW.
00:04:41.13\00:04:42.66
SO, I THINK EVERY NOW AND THEN
SOMEBODY OUGHT TO INVITE SOMEONE
00:04:42.66\00:04:47.83
WHO YOU MAY THINK IS HIGH.
00:04:47.83\00:04:49.36
IN GOD'S SIGHT,
YOU'D BE SURPRISED WHO'S
00:04:49.36\00:04:51.03
HIGH AND WHO'S LOW.
00:04:51.03\00:04:52.96
YOU'D BE SURPRISED
WHO'S IMPORTANT AND WHO'S NOT.
00:04:52.96\00:04:56.23
BUT THE FACT IS THAT THERE ARE
FOLK WHO GET CAUGHT UP IN THAT.
00:04:56.23\00:04:59.13
IT'S NOT THAT WHICH
IS THE POWER OF A CHURCH.
00:04:59.13\00:05:02.40
IF YOU'VE GOT 25 STAR MEMBERS,
IT'S STILL THE HOUSE OF GOD.
00:05:02.40\00:05:09.16
IF YOU HAVE NOBODY
WORTHY OF NOTE, IT'S STILL
00:05:09.16\00:05:13.20
THE HOUSE OF GOD.
00:05:13.20\00:05:15.23
THE GROUND AT THE
FOOT OF THE CROSS IS LEVEL.
00:05:15.23\00:05:20.30
ARE YOU WITH ME ?
00:05:20.30\00:05:22.00
THERE ARE NO BIG PEOPLE.
00:05:22.00\00:05:24.00
THERE ARE NO TALL ONES,
NO HIGH ONES, NO LOW ONES.
00:05:24.00\00:05:26.56
ALL OF US STAND AT THE SAME
LEVEL AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS.
00:05:26.56\00:05:31.03
AND I SUGGEST TO YOU
THAT IT IS THE POWER OF CHRIST
00:05:31.03\00:05:35.63
THAT IS THE CENTER.
00:05:35.63\00:05:36.86
NOW, YOU OUGHT
TO TURN TO THIS ONE.
00:05:36.86\00:05:38.80
LET'S GO TO MATTHEW, CHAPTER 16,
AND I THINK I ONLY NEED VERSE
00:05:38.80\00:05:44.70
18 TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING
VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT THE CHURCH.
00:05:44.70\00:05:49.60
MATTHEW 16, AND VERSE 18.
00:05:49.60\00:05:54.06
AND I SAY UNTO THEE, I SAY ALSO
UNTO THEE THAT THOU ARE PETER.
00:05:54.06\00:05:57.96
AND UPON THIS ROCK I
WILL BUILD MY CHURCH.
00:05:57.96\00:06:02.16
AND THE GATES OF HELL
SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT.
00:06:02.16\00:06:07.73
NOW, THOSE OF US WHO HAVE
CONTEMPLATED THIS TEXT RECOGNIZE
00:06:07.73\00:06:12.06
THAT A THERE IS A POSSIBILITY
OF MISUNDERSTANDING THAT GOD
00:06:12.06\00:06:17.46
BUILT THE CHURCH ON PETER.
00:06:17.46\00:06:20.86
IF THAT HAD HAPPENED, IF
JESUS HAD BEEN SO THOUGHTLESS
00:06:20.86\00:06:26.26
AS TO BUILD THE CHURCH ON A
HUMAN BEING, NOT FAR FROM THAT
00:06:26.26\00:06:30.86
TIME, YOU REMEMBER THAT PETER
WAS CAUGHT UP IN A SITUATION
00:06:30.86\00:06:34.93
WHERE HE USED LANGUAGE THAT WAS
NOT APPROPRIATE FOR A FOLLOWER
00:06:34.93\00:06:39.30
OF JESUS IN ORDER TO PRETEND
THAT HE HAD NEVER MET HIM.
00:06:39.30\00:06:44.46
I'VE GOT A LITTLE
LESSON BEFORE I MOVE.
00:06:44.46\00:06:46.83
IF YOU WALK AND TALK
WITH JESUS, PEOPLE WILL
00:06:46.83\00:06:48.96
KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WITH HIM.
00:06:48.96\00:06:52.06
THEY'LL KNOW THAT
YOU CAN'T FOOL FOLK.
00:06:52.06\00:06:54.30
IF YOU WALK WITH THE
DEVIL, HE'LL TELL ON YOU.
00:06:54.30\00:06:57.56
OH, I WISH I HAD
TIME TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:06:57.56\00:07:01.83
YOU PLAY WITH THE
DEVIL, HE'LL MARK YOUR FACE.
00:07:01.83\00:07:05.33
DO STUFF TO YOU.
00:07:05.33\00:07:06.66
IF YOU PLAY WITH THE
DEVIL, HE'LL MARK YOUR WALK.
00:07:06.66\00:07:10.16
HE'LL DO SOMETHING TO YOUR TALK.
00:07:10.16\00:07:12.13
THE DEVIL WILL TELL ON YOU.
00:07:12.13\00:07:13.46
BUT, IF YOU WALK WITH JESUS,
PEOPLE WILL SAY, HEY, THERE'S
00:07:13.46\00:07:18.36
SOMETHING ABOUT YOU.
00:07:18.36\00:07:20.03
AND PETER HAD BEEN
WITH JESUS TOO LONG.
00:07:20.03\00:07:22.50
THE FACT IS THAT THERE IS NONE
OTHER NAME, AND THIS IS PETER
00:07:22.50\00:07:26.86
DECLARING IT, THERE'S NONE OTHER
NAME UNDER HEAVEN, GIVEN AMONG
00:07:26.86\00:07:30.20
MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.
00:07:30.20\00:07:32.46
AND THAT IS THE
DECLARATION OF PETER.
00:07:32.46\00:07:34.73
SO, EVEN PETER KNEW THAT
THE CHURCH WASN'T BUILT ON HIM.
00:07:34.73\00:07:37.73
HERE'S WHAT I WANT
TO PULL FROM THIS TEXT.
00:07:37.73\00:07:40.73
THE DEVIL HATES THE CHURCH.
00:07:40.73\00:07:46.53
HAVE YOU ALREADY
FIGURED THAT PART OUT ?
00:07:46.53\00:07:49.23
I'VE HAD PEOPLE TELL ME, YOU
KNOW, BEFORE I HEARD THIS THING
00:07:49.23\00:07:53.56
THAT YOU PREACHED, BEFORE
I DECIDED TO GIVE MY LIFE TO
00:07:53.56\00:07:56.93
CHRIST, MY LIFE WAS ALWAYS FUN.
00:07:56.93\00:08:01.90
I USED TO HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME.
00:08:01.90\00:08:04.40
AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING ?
00:08:04.40\00:08:05.66
I DON'T DOUBT YOU.
00:08:05.66\00:08:07.13
BECAUSE IF YOU'RE WALKING
WITH THE DEVIL, HE HAS NO
00:08:07.13\00:08:09.66
REASON TO BOTHER YOU.
00:08:09.66\00:08:16.03
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU'RE
HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
00:08:16.03\00:08:19.40
IF YOU'RE WALKING WITH THE
DEVIL ON BROADWAY, BECAUSE BROAD
00:08:19.40\00:08:25.53
IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO
DESTRUCTION AND NARROW IS THE
00:08:25.53\00:08:29.33
WAY THAT LEADS TO SALVATION.
00:08:29.33\00:08:31.13
BUT AS LONG AS YOU'RE WALKING
WITH THE DEVIL ON BROADWAY,
00:08:31.13\00:08:33.26
HE'S WITH YOU.
00:08:33.26\00:08:34.10
"HEY, HOW'S IT GOING ?"
00:08:34.10\00:08:35.43
HE DOESN'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT YOU.
00:08:35.43\00:08:37.03
YOU ARE WALKING WITH HIM.
00:08:37.03\00:08:39.20
IT'S WHEN THE LORD
TURNS YOU AROUND THAT YOU'VE
00:08:39.20\00:08:43.16
GOT A PROBLEM.
00:08:43.16\00:08:44.86
BECAUSE NOW ALL THOSE
DEVILS YOU USED TO WALK
00:08:44.86\00:08:46.96
WITH ARE COMING AGAINST YOU.
00:08:46.96\00:08:49.33
AND YOU'VE GOT TO DUCK
AND DODGE AND RUN INTO THEM.
00:08:49.33\00:08:52.43
THE FACT IS THAT THE DEVIL
HATES IT WHEN YOU EVEN THINK
00:08:52.43\00:08:57.43
ABOUT CHANGING YOUR LIFE.
00:08:57.43\00:09:00.43
I'VE GOT TO STAY HERE A MINUTE
BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SOME PEOPLE
00:09:00.43\00:09:03.26
ON THIS VERY NIGHT WHO
ARE THINKING ABOUT FOLLOWING
00:09:03.26\00:09:09.43
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:09:09.43\00:09:11.56
I'LL TELL YOU THIS.
00:09:11.56\00:09:13.10
YOU'LL FIND OUT
WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE.
00:09:13.10\00:09:17.66
YOU'LL FIND OUT
WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE.
00:09:17.66\00:09:19.66
BECAUSE YOUR REAL FRIENDS,
EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT READY
00:09:19.66\00:09:23.50
TO OBEY THE LORD,
THEY'LL BE HAPPY FOR YOU.
00:09:23.50\00:09:28.23
THEY'LL TELL YOU, I CAN'T DO IT.
00:09:28.23\00:09:31.26
I'M NOT READY YET,
BUT I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
00:09:31.26\00:09:35.10
AND I'M GOING TO DO
EVERYTHING I CAN TO HELP YOU.
00:09:35.10\00:09:36.90
IF ANYBODY BOTHERS
YOU, I'VE GOT YOUR BACK.
00:09:36.90\00:09:40.30
BECAUSE I'M PROUD
OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
00:09:40.30\00:09:41.96
THAT'S WHAT A
REAL FRIEND WILL SAY.
00:09:41.96\00:09:45.06
BUT A PERSON WHO'S NOT
REALLY YOUR FRIEND, DOESN'T
00:09:45.06\00:09:47.20
EVER WANT YOU TO
CLIMB HIGHER THAN THEY ARE.
00:09:47.20\00:09:50.33
THEY DON'T MIND
YOU COMING UP HERE.
00:09:50.33\00:09:52.73
THEY DON'T MIND
YOU COMING UP HERE.
00:09:52.73\00:09:56.30
THEY'LL EVEN PUT UP WITH
YOU BEING RIGHT AROUND HERE.
00:09:56.30\00:09:58.53
BUT IF YOU EVER DO THIS,
NOW YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND.
00:09:58.53\00:10:03.96
"YOU'RE GOING TO DO WHAT ?
00:10:03.96\00:10:06.10
YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING
TO FOLLOW THAT STUFF ?"
00:10:06.10\00:10:08.76
"YEAH, BUT THAT STUFF
CAME OUT OF THE WORD OF GOD."
00:10:08.76\00:10:13.23
AND YOU CANNOT GO WRONG
DOING WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:10:13.23\00:10:17.43
IT IS THE BOOK THAT HE SENT
TO PUT YOU ON THE RIGHT PATH.
00:10:17.43\00:10:24.93
SO, I NEED TO SAY TO YOU TONIGHT
THAT THE DEVIL WILL BEGIN TO
00:10:24.93\00:10:30.30
CAUSE YOU PROBLEMS IF YOU ARE
ABOUT TO PART COMPANY WITH HIM.
00:10:30.30\00:10:34.76
HE HATES THE CHURCH.
00:10:34.76\00:10:38.33
AND THE BIBLE SAYS
THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT
00:10:38.33\00:10:43.50
PREVAIL AGAINST THE CHURCH.
00:10:43.50\00:10:45.46
NOW, LET ME TALK
ABOUT GATES FOR A MINUTE.
00:10:45.46\00:10:47.40
YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE THIS.
00:10:47.40\00:10:48.96
IN DAYS OF OLD, THE CHIEFS OF
THE CITY, THE MAYOR EQUIVALENT,
00:10:48.96\00:10:54.36
WOULD SIT AT THE CITY GATE.
00:10:54.36\00:10:57.03
SO, IF YOU WANTED TO REFER
TO, FOR INSTANCE, WHEN WE WANT
00:10:57.03\00:10:59.76
TO TALK ABOUT THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES, WE SAY,
00:10:59.76\00:11:01.93
THE WHITE HOUSE SAID.
00:11:01.93\00:11:04.46
YOU KNOW THE WHITE
HOUSE DOESN'T TALK.
00:11:04.46\00:11:06.46
WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.
00:11:06.46\00:11:08.50
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE SAID. . .
00:11:08.50\00:11:10.36
THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION
IS REPORTED TO HAVE. . .
00:11:10.36\00:11:12.96
WE HAVE SYMBOLS TO
TALK ABOUT AUTHORITY.
00:11:12.96\00:11:16.00
IN THOSE DAYS, IT WAS
THE GATES OF THE CITY.
00:11:16.00\00:11:20.76
NOW STICK WITH ME.
00:11:20.76\00:11:22.93
IF THE CITY IS HELL,
THEN THE LEADER OF HELL
00:11:22.93\00:11:30.46
IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF.
00:11:30.46\00:11:33.86
AND HERE'S WHAT JESUS SAID.
00:11:33.86\00:11:35.76
YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS
STATES TRUTH, IT'S NOT BRAGGING.
00:11:35.76\00:11:40.70
IT'S JUST CLARIFICATION OF FACT.
00:11:40.70\00:11:45.23
WHEN I TALK LIKE
THAT, IT'S BRAGGING.
00:11:45.23\00:11:48.33
BUT JESUS CAN'T BRAG BECAUSE HE
CAN BACK UP EVERYTHING HE SAYS.
00:11:48.33\00:11:53.70
AM I TOO STRONG FOR ANYBODY ?
00:11:53.70\00:11:56.20
SO, HERE'S WHAT JESUS
SAYS, MY CHURCH WILL THRIVE.
00:11:56.20\00:12:02.20
IT'LL GO THROUGH ROUGH TIMES.
00:12:02.20\00:12:03.40
DON'T EVER GET DISTURBED
WHEN THE SHIP OF ZION BEGINS
00:12:03.40\00:12:06.83
TO TOSS IN ROUGH WATERS.
00:12:06.83\00:12:09.66
GOD NEVER PROMISED THAT
IF YOU CAME TO THE CHURCH IT
00:12:09.66\00:12:12.66
WOULD ALWAYS BE A SMOOTH RIDE.
00:12:12.66\00:12:15.20
HE NEVER PROMISED THAT
YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE A TRIAL.
00:12:15.20\00:12:18.16
ALL HE EVER SAID WAS,
I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE.
00:12:18.16\00:12:28.93
YOU ASK THOSE HEBREW WORTHIES ?
00:12:28.93\00:12:33.63
REMEMBER WHEN THE KING
SAID HEAT THAT THING SEVEN TIMES
00:12:33.63\00:12:36.36
HOTTER AND PUT THEM IN THERE.
00:12:36.36\00:12:38.46
AND THE GUARDS WHO PUT HIM
IN THE FIERY FURNACE FAINTED
00:12:38.46\00:12:41.60
BECAUSE OF THE HEAT.
00:12:41.60\00:12:42.96
BUT WHEN THE KING LOOKED IN
THERE FROM A DISTANCE, I'M ABOUT
00:12:42.96\00:12:46.80
TO SAY, HE SAID, WHAT HAPPENED ?
00:12:46.80\00:12:49.16
I PUT IN THREE
BUT NOW I SEE FOUR.
00:12:49.16\00:12:52.96
AND THE FOURTH ONE
LOOKS LIKE THE SON OF GOD.
00:12:52.96\00:12:56.70
AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
TONIGHT, IF YOU EVER GET IN A
00:12:56.70\00:12:59.23
FURNACE IN THE NAME OF JESUS,
YOU MAY BE IN A HOT PLACE,
00:12:59.23\00:13:04.20
BUT YOU'LL BE COOLED BY THE
FOURTH PERSON IN THE FURNACE,
00:13:04.20\00:13:07.90
AND THAT PERSON IS JESUS.
00:13:07.90\00:13:10.73
YOU MAY HAVE HARD TIMES.
00:13:10.73\00:13:15.33
YOU MAY HAVE TRIALS.
00:13:15.33\00:13:17.83
BUT TRIALS ARE WHAT
MAKE YOU CLING TO JESUS.
00:13:17.83\00:13:21.66
I HAVE NEVER READ WHAT THE
HEBREW WORTHIES DID WHEN THEY
00:13:21.66\00:13:25.20
SAW JESUS IN THE FURNACE.
00:13:25.20\00:13:27.20
I CAN TELL YOU
WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE.
00:13:27.20\00:13:32.93
LORD, CAN I JUST, YOU KNOW,
I JUST WANT TO BE CLOSE TO YOU.
00:13:32.93\00:13:37.86
THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO SEE THAT THERE WERE
00:13:37.86\00:13:39.63
FOUR IN THERE IF I WAS
ONE OF THE THREE, BECAUSE I'D
00:13:39.63\00:13:42.10
HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO JESUS.
00:13:42.10\00:13:43.90
WHEN HARD TIMES COME, I'VE
LEARNED TO STAY CLOSE TO JESUS.
00:13:43.90\00:13:48.83
HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU.
00:13:48.83\00:13:51.00
AND IF YOU'VE GOT ANY
BRAINS AT ALL, YOU'LL NEVER
00:13:51.00\00:13:52.80
LEAVE HIM, BECAUSE HE CAN
GET YOU IN AND GET YOU OUT.
00:13:52.80\00:13:58.00
HE KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER
THE GODLY OUT OF TROUBLE.
00:13:58.00\00:14:03.26
HE'S A VERY PRESENT HELP.
00:14:03.26\00:14:06.73
WELL, YOU'RE
GOING TO MAKE ME PREACH.
00:14:06.73\00:14:10.53
SO, THE DEVIL HATES THE CHURCH.
00:14:10.53\00:14:13.03
NOW, WATCH THIS,
BECAUSE I'M GETTING READY TO
00:14:13.03\00:14:15.16
TURN THE CORNER.
00:14:15.16\00:14:17.56
WHAT THE DEVIL SAYS IS THIS.
00:14:17.56\00:14:18.70
FIRST THING I TRY TO DO IS
KEEP HIM OUT OF THE CHURCH.
00:14:18.70\00:14:22.60
BUT IF I CAN'T KEEP HIM OUT,
I GET HIM HUNG UP ON A PREACHER.
00:14:22.60\00:14:27.63
NOTHING WRONG WITH
LOVING YOUR PASTOR.
00:14:27.63\00:14:29.16
I THINK YOU
OUGHT TO LOVE PASTORS.
00:14:29.16\00:14:31.13
AND IF I DIDN'T SAY
THAT, THEN I'D BE PUTTING
00:14:31.13\00:14:32.96
MYSELF IN TROUBLE.
00:14:32.96\00:14:35.00
BUT JUST DON'T PUT
YOUR PREACHER ABOVE JESUS.
00:14:35.00\00:14:39.90
THAT'S ALL.
00:14:39.90\00:14:44.16
I THINK THE LORD WILL
GIVE YOU NICE CLOTHES.
00:14:44.16\00:14:47.63
I THINK THE LORD WILL GIVE, GOD
OWNS EVERY AUTOMOBILE FACTORY
00:14:47.63\00:14:52.60
ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
00:14:52.60\00:14:54.96
IF HE THOUGHT YOU NEEDED 10
ROLLS-ROYCES, HE COULD CAUSE
00:14:54.96\00:14:59.13
THE NEXT 10 TO BE ROLLED
OUT WITH A NAMEPLATE ON THE DASH
00:14:59.13\00:15:03.53
AND YOUR NAME WOULD BE THERE.
00:15:03.53\00:15:06.00
SOME OF US CAN'T
HANDLE ONE, SO HE'S CERTAINLY
00:15:06.00\00:15:10.16
NOT GOING TO GIVE US TEN.
00:15:10.16\00:15:12.46
HE'S HAVING A HARD ENOUGH
TIME WITH SOME OF US RIDING
00:15:12.46\00:15:14.66
IN THESE TOYOTAS AND HONDAS.
00:15:14.66\00:15:18.26
BUT IF HE THOUGHT YOU NEEDED
IT, HOW MANY KNOW HE COULD
00:15:18.26\00:15:21.36
GIVE IT TO YOU ?
00:15:21.36\00:15:23.06
NOTHING WRONG WITH CARS.
00:15:23.06\00:15:25.23
NOTHING WRONG WITH HOUSES.
00:15:25.23\00:15:26.33
GOD WANTS HIS
CHILDREN TO LIVE WELL.
00:15:26.33\00:15:28.86
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
00:15:28.86\00:15:30.00
THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE GET
CAUGHT IN PERIPHERAL ISSUES,
00:15:30.00\00:15:34.90
AND IT IS NOT AN ACCIDENT.
00:15:34.90\00:15:38.86
I'LL SHOW IT TO YOU.
00:15:38.86\00:15:40.43
GO TO DANIEL.
00:15:40.43\00:15:42.40
DANIEL, CHAPTER 7, AND VERSE 25.
00:15:42.40\00:15:47.33
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
00:15:47.33\00:15:49.30
THE DEVIL IS NOT KIDDING.
00:15:49.30\00:15:51.03
SEE, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
WHO THINK THIS IS A BIG JOKE.
00:15:51.03\00:15:53.33
YOU THINK THAT THE
DEVIL IS SOME RED THING WITH
00:15:53.33\00:15:57.00
HORNS AND A TAIL ?
00:15:57.00\00:16:01.63
OR YOU WATCH SOME
SORRY LITTLE MOVIE AND THINK
00:16:01.63\00:16:04.80
THAT IT'S CUTE THAT
SOMETHING SHAKES IN THE HOUSE.
00:16:04.80\00:16:08.26
WIND BLOWS THROUGH THE WINDOWS.
00:16:08.26\00:16:11.86
THEY PLAY WITH LITTLE
GAMES AND SOMETHING GETS INSIDE
00:16:11.86\00:16:16.76
AND YOU THINK THAT'S NICE.
00:16:16.76\00:16:18.43
I LOVE TO SEE THAT.
00:16:18.43\00:16:19.16
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
00:16:19.16\00:16:20.13
I'M CAREFUL WITH
WHAT I WATCH AT MY HOUSE.
00:16:20.13\00:16:23.33
YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO.
00:16:23.33\00:16:24.26
YOUR HOUSE IS YOUR HOUSE.
00:16:24.26\00:16:25.43
YOU WATCH ANYTHING YOU FEEL
LIKE, BRING ANY GAME IN THERE
00:16:25.43\00:16:28.40
YOU WANT, BRING ANY KIND OF
TOY IN THERE YOU WANT, BUT LET
00:16:28.40\00:16:30.80
ME TELL YOU, I DON'T EVER
WANT THE DEVIL TO MISUNDERSTAND
00:16:30.80\00:16:34.33
WHAT I DO AS AN INVITATION.
00:16:34.33\00:16:41.33
I WANT THE
RECORD TO BE REAL CLEAR.
00:16:41.33\00:16:43.00
YOU ARE NOT INVITED IN HERE.
00:16:43.00\00:16:45.46
AND IF I EVER FIND HIM IN
THERE, I KNOW WHO TO CALL.
00:16:45.46\00:16:49.96
I'LL CALL MY BIG BROTHER, JESUS.
00:16:49.96\00:16:53.80
AND HE CAN GET HIM OUT.
00:16:53.80\00:16:55.30
LOOK, DANIEL, CHAPTER
7, AND LOOK AT VERSE 25.
00:16:55.30\00:16:59.73
AND HE SHALL SPEAK GREAT
WORDS AGAINST THE MOST HIGH
00:16:59.73\00:17:03.96
AND SHALL WEAR OUT THE
SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH.
00:17:03.96\00:17:07.70
AND THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND
LAWS, AND THEY SHALL BE GIVEN
00:17:07.70\00:17:11.00
INTO HIS HAND UNTIL A TIMES OF
TIMES AND THE DIVIDING OF TIME.
00:17:11.00\00:17:15.53
IF YOU WERE TAKE THOSE NUMBERS
TIMES TIMES DIVIDING OF TIMES,
00:17:15.53\00:17:18.93
AND USED THE NUMBER 360, WHICH
IT WAS USED FOR A YEAR, AND IF
00:17:18.93\00:17:22.83
YOU TURN THOSE DAYS INTO A YEAR,
YOU COME UP WITH TWELVE HUNDRED
00:17:22.83\00:17:25.93
AND SIXTY YEARS AND YOU
KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
00:17:25.93\00:17:29.03
THOSE ARE THE YEARS THAT BRING
US TO THE POINT WHERE THE CHURCH
00:17:29.03\00:17:31.83
GOT FREEDOM, WHEN GOD DELIVERED
THE WOMAN FROM THE WILDERNESS.
00:17:31.83\00:17:35.60
AND RIGHT ABOUT THAT
TIME IS WHEN GOD SAYS, I'M
00:17:35.60\00:17:38.63
CALLING A REMNENT.
00:17:38.63\00:17:39.86
I'M CALLING A
FAITHFUL GROUP, WHO WILL FOLLOW
00:17:39.86\00:17:42.60
ME WHEREVER I GO.
00:17:42.60\00:17:44.00
I WANT SOME PEOPLE
WHO WILL STAND FOR ME.
00:17:44.00\00:17:46.46
SO THAT VERY PROPHECY BRINGS
YOU THERE, BUT IT SAYS THAT
00:17:46.46\00:17:49.83
THERE IS A RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY
THAT THINKS TO CHANGE TIMES
00:17:49.83\00:17:54.30
AND LAWS THAT WILL WEAR OUT
THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH.
00:17:54.30\00:17:58.76
AND I TELL YOU THAT
THE CHURCH OF GOD, THE TRUE
00:17:58.76\00:18:02.03
CHURCH OF GOD HAS ENEMIES
THAT ARE TRYING TO DESTROY IT.
00:18:02.03\00:18:07.90
THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THAT
THE DEVIL CANNOT OVERCOME JESUS.
00:18:07.90\00:18:12.16
WE READ IT, DIDN'T WE ?
00:18:12.16\00:18:13.80
THE GATES OF HELL SHALL
NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THE CHURCH.
00:18:13.80\00:18:20.73
GO TO DANIEL, CHAPTER
8, AND LOOK AT VERSE 11,
00:18:20.73\00:18:25.53
VERSES 11 AND 12.
00:18:25.53\00:18:28.03
YEA HE MAGNIFIED HIMSELF
EVEN TO THE PRINCE OF THE HOST.
00:18:28.03\00:18:31.60
AND BY HIM THE DAILY SACRIFICE
WAS TAKEN AWAY AND THE PLACE OF
00:18:31.60\00:18:35.60
HIS SANCTUARY WAS CAST DOWN.
00:18:35.60\00:18:37.76
AND A HOST WAS GIVEN HIM
AGAINST THE DAILY SACRIFICE
00:18:37.76\00:18:41.13
BY REASON OF TRANSGRSION.
00:18:41.13\00:18:42.73
AND IT CAST DOWN THE TRUTH
TO THE GROUND AND PRACTICED AND
00:18:42.73\00:18:48.30
IT PRACTICED AND PROSPERED.
00:18:48.30\00:18:51.53
A RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY
THAT CAST TRUTH TO THE GROUND.
00:18:51.53\00:18:58.13
SO LISTEN TO THE DEVIL'S PLAN.
00:18:58.13\00:19:00.40
LET THEM GO TO CHURCH.
00:19:00.40\00:19:04.33
JUST GIVE THEM FALSE DOCTRINE.
00:19:04.33\00:19:08.63
CAST TRUTH TO THE GROUND.
00:19:08.63\00:19:12.80
NOW THERE'S SOME THINGS
WE KNOW, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
00:19:12.80\00:19:15.26
HERE FOR A WHILE TOGETHER.
00:19:15.26\00:19:17.10
I HAD SOMEBODY ASK ME THE
OTHER DAY, DON'T MOST PEOPLE
00:19:17.10\00:19:19.73
COME IN AND PREACH
OVER A WEEKEND AND LEAVE ?
00:19:19.73\00:19:23.03
I SAID, YEAH.
00:19:23.03\00:19:24.66
HOW IN THE WORLD HAVE
YOU BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD
00:19:24.66\00:19:26.70
TO STAY HERE THIS LONG ?
00:19:26.70\00:19:28.40
WELL, BECAUSE I
HAD A LOT TO SAY.
00:19:28.40\00:19:33.03
AND IT ALL CAME FROM THE BIBLE.
00:19:33.03\00:19:37.10
WATCH THIS.
00:19:37.10\00:19:38.70
THIS AUTHORITY CAST THE TRUTH
ABOUT BAPTISM TO THE GROUND.
00:19:38.70\00:19:43.76
SOMEBODY SAYS, YOU OUGHT TO
SPRINKLE, BUT THE BIBLE SAYS
00:19:43.76\00:19:46.46
WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTIZED,
HE WENT DOWN AND CAME BACK UP.
00:19:46.46\00:19:50.83
ARE YOU WITH ME ?
00:19:50.83\00:19:52.46
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
MORTALITY OF THE SOUL.
00:19:52.46\00:19:55.46
THERE ARE SOME WHO
TEACH THAT WHEN YOU
00:19:55.46\00:19:58.10
DIE YOU'RE NOT REALLY DEAD.
00:19:58.10\00:19:59.20
THAT SOMETHING FLOATS AROUND.
00:19:59.20\00:20:00.16
THE SOUL IS INDESTRUCTIBLE.
00:20:00.16\00:20:01.70
BUT WE READ IT RIGHT
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:20:01.70\00:20:04.36
THE LIVING KNOW
THAT THEY SHALL DIE, BUT
00:20:04.36\00:20:07.26
THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING.
00:20:07.26\00:20:09.43
AND THE SOUL THAT SINNETH,
IN ANOTHER PLACE, IT SHALL DIE.
00:20:09.43\00:20:12.46
WHEN YOU'RE DEAD, YOU'RE DEAD.
00:20:12.46\00:20:13.53
BUT WE READ THAT
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:20:13.53\00:20:15.63
THIS AUTHORITY CAST
THAT TRUTH TO THE GROUND.
00:20:15.63\00:20:18.73
SOME DID NOT KNOW ABOUT
THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.
00:20:18.73\00:20:22.56
YOU CAN READ THIS BOOK FROM
COVER TO COVER, IN FACT, I'VE
00:20:22.56\00:20:24.40
GOT A MAN WHO WILL GIVE YOU
$25,000 IN CASH ANY TIME YOU
00:20:24.40\00:20:29.83
COME UP WITH A TEXT IN THE BIBLE
THAT SAYS, WORSHIP ON ANY OTHER
00:20:29.83\00:20:34.93
DAY THAN SATURDAY, WHICH
IS THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.
00:20:34.93\00:20:38.80
SO, IF YOU WANT TO GET
SOME MONEY FAST, FIND IT.
00:20:38.80\00:20:42.33
STAY UP ALL NIGHT LONG.
00:20:42.33\00:20:44.70
READ EVERY PAGE OF THE BIBLE.
00:20:44.70\00:20:47.13
DON'T MISS ONE VERSE, AND COME
UP WITH ONE TEXT WHERE JESUS
00:20:47.13\00:20:52.03
SAYS, I CHANGED, NOW I
WANT YOU TO KEEP ANOTHER DAY.
00:20:52.03\00:20:56.33
AND WE WILL GLADLY TAKE YOU
TO THE MAN WITH THE $25,000.
00:20:56.33\00:20:59.93
I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF
YOU COME UP WITH IT, GIVE
00:20:59.93\00:21:01.70
ME A LITTLE BIT.
00:21:01.70\00:21:04.83
BUT I HAVE NO HOPE WHATSOEVER,
BECAUSE I HAVE READ THE BOOK
00:21:04.83\00:21:08.63
FROM COVER TO COVER
AND JESUS DOES NOT CHANGE.
00:21:08.63\00:21:11.36
HE SAYS UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH
PASS AWAY NOT ONE DOTTING OF
00:21:11.36\00:21:14.93
AN "I" OR CROSSING OF A
"T" WILL PASS FROM THIS LAW.
00:21:14.93\00:21:18.26
AND IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, IT IS
00:21:18.26\00:21:21.53
THE SABBATH THAT STANDS OUT.
00:21:21.53\00:21:23.63
BUT THE TRUTH WAS
CAST TO THE GROUND.
00:21:23.63\00:21:25.70
THEN THE TRUTH WAS
CAST TO THE GROUND ABOUT THE
00:21:25.70\00:21:28.00
PRIESTLY MINISTRY OF CHRIST.
00:21:28.00\00:21:29.86
NOBODY KNEW.
00:21:29.86\00:21:30.73
THEY THOUGHT THAT WHEN JESUS
WENT TO HEAVEN IT WAS JUST OVER.
00:21:30.73\00:21:33.23
YOU AND I KNOW THAT WHEN
HE WENT TO HEAVEN, HE WENT
00:21:33.23\00:21:35.63
INTO THE HEAVENLY
SANCTUARY AS MY HIGH PRIEST.
00:21:35.63\00:21:40.96
AND WHEN I PRAY, WHEN I PRAY, I
PRAY TO GOD, BUT JESUS IS THERE.
00:21:40.96\00:21:48.50
WHEN MY SINS NEED TO
BE FORGIVEN, JESUS SAYS
00:21:48.50\00:21:51.86
MY BLOOD FATHER.
00:21:51.86\00:21:53.43
I DON'T HAVE THE BLOOD OF
LAMBS OR GOATS OR SPRINKLING
00:21:53.43\00:21:57.50
OF A HEIFER'S ASHES.
00:21:57.50\00:21:59.33
MY BLOOD WAS SHED ON CALVARY.
00:21:59.33\00:22:01.90
AND SINCE I SHED THAT
BLOOD, I CAN BRING THAT
00:22:01.90\00:22:05.20
BLOOD TO THIS SANCTUARY.
00:22:05.20\00:22:07.30
AND WITHOUT BLOOD
THERE IS NO REMISSION OF SIN.
00:22:07.30\00:22:10.43
BUT WHEN THE BLOOD OF JESUS
TOUCHES MY SIN, MY SIN IS GONE.
00:22:10.43\00:22:15.36
WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN ?
00:22:15.36\00:22:17.80
NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
00:22:17.80\00:22:24.20
THEN THERE CAME A REFORMATION
LED BY PROTESTANT CHURCHES
00:22:24.20\00:22:28.70
AND THEY GOT A LOT OF THINGS
RIGHT, BUT THERE ARE A FEW
00:22:28.70\00:22:31.23
THINGS THEY DIDN'T GET RIGHT.
00:22:31.23\00:22:33.23
THEY IGNORED THE SABBATH.
00:22:33.23\00:22:36.16
THEY SAID WELL, THIS
IMMORTALITY THING, LET'S
00:22:36.16\00:22:40.43
JUST BREEZE OVER THAT.
00:22:40.43\00:22:42.83
THEY SAID, WE'RE
NOT SURE ABOUT BAPTISM.
00:22:42.83\00:22:45.23
JUST KIND OF
BAPTIZE THE WAY YOU LIKE.
00:22:45.23\00:22:48.76
IT'S OKAY.
00:22:48.76\00:22:50.33
THEY TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF
THINGS BUT NEVER MENTIONED WHAT
00:22:50.33\00:22:53.73
JESUS IS DOING RIGHT NOW
IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY.
00:22:53.73\00:22:59.13
AND THEN THEY BEGAN TO
MAKE WAR BETWEEN GRACE AND LAW.
00:22:59.13\00:23:05.93
YOU KNOW.
00:23:05.93\00:23:06.86
IF YOU'RE UNDER
GRACE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO
00:23:06.86\00:23:08.96
ANYTHING RIGHT ANYMORE.
00:23:08.96\00:23:10.96
AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT
MAKES YOU THINK THAT IN THE NAME
00:23:10.96\00:23:13.13
OF JESUS YOU CAN STEAL.
00:23:13.13\00:23:16.76
YOU CAN LIE.
00:23:16.76\00:23:19.06
THAT MEANS YOU COULD LOOK AT MY
WIFE IN THIS AUDITORIUM TONIGHT
00:23:19.06\00:23:23.30
AND DEVISE A PLAN IN YOUR HEART
THAT YOU COULD TAKE HER FROM ME
00:23:23.30\00:23:28.50
AND DO IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:23:28.50\00:23:31.06
WELL, IN THE NAME OF JESUS YOU'D
BETTER STOP THINKING LIKE THAT.
00:23:31.06\00:23:41.96
BECAUSE THE LAW OF GOD STANDS.
00:23:41.96\00:23:44.06
AND GRACE DOES NOT
DO AWAY WITH THE LAW.
00:23:44.06\00:23:48.86
GOD FORBID.
00:23:48.86\00:23:51.30
WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT
THROUGH GRACE IS THAT
00:23:51.30\00:23:53.70
JESUS FORGIVES MY SINS.
00:23:53.70\00:23:56.50
THE APOSTLE PAUL SAYS, WHEN I
DIE AND JESUS REPLACES ME INSIDE
00:23:56.50\00:24:03.46
MY HEART AND INSIDE MY HEAD, SO
THE LIFE I NOW LIVE IS NOT ME.
00:24:03.46\00:24:10.40
IT'S JESUS LIVING IN ME.
00:24:10.40\00:24:11.60
NOW, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I
MUST SAY TO YOU TONIGHT BASED
00:24:11.60\00:24:17.23
ON THE TRUTH THAT YOU AND
I HAVE READ FROM THE BIBLE.
00:24:17.23\00:24:23.96
JUST ANY CHURCH WILL NOT DO.
00:24:23.96\00:24:33.66
I AM NOT TALKING
ABOUT DENOMINATIONALISM.
00:24:33.66\00:24:37.33
I GOT A RELATIVES IN PRACTICALLY
EVERY CHURCH THERE IS.
00:24:37.33\00:24:41.90
AND I WON'T CALL THE NAMES
BUT THERE ARE SOME DENOMINATIONS
00:24:41.90\00:24:44.46
THAT ARE QUITE HIGH
BROW, AND THEY LOOK DOWN ON ME.
00:24:44.46\00:24:48.76
THEY SAY, YOU
DON'T REACH WHERE WE ARE.
00:24:48.76\00:24:53.76
AND I SAY, YEAH,
BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS
00:24:53.76\00:24:56.53
REACHES DOWN TO THE DEPTHS.
00:24:56.53\00:25:01.83
JESUS CAME TO SEEK AND TO
SAVE THE LOST, SO HE MAY MISS
00:25:01.83\00:25:05.30
YOU ALL WAY UP THERE
BUT HE GETS US DOWN HERE.
00:25:05.30\00:25:10.93
AND I'VE GOT SOME RELATIVES
WHO ARE KIND OF YOU KNOW
00:25:10.93\00:25:14.60
IN A DIFFERENT. . .YOU
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPIRIT.
00:25:14.60\00:25:17.96
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
00:25:17.96\00:25:19.83
I'LL SURPRISE YOU.
00:25:19.83\00:25:23.00
WHEN THE TRUTH HITS ME RIGHT,
YOU KNOW, I'VE LEARNED NOT TO
00:25:23.00\00:25:27.00
SHOUT ON THE BASIS OF FEELINGS.
00:25:27.00\00:25:29.26
I SHOUT ON THE BASIS OF FACT.
00:25:29.26\00:25:35.80
IF YOU WANT TO REALLY SHOUT,
GIVE ME SOMETHING CONCRETE.
00:25:35.80\00:25:39.53
SOMETHING, GIVE ME
SOMETHING IN THE WORD.
00:25:39.53\00:25:41.50
I DON'T WANT TO SHOUT ON GRAVY.
00:25:41.50\00:25:48.03
I DON'T WANT TO SHOUT ON ICING.
00:25:48.03\00:25:51.00
GIVE ME THE REAL
MEAT OF THE WORD AND YOU
00:25:51.00\00:25:53.66
UNDERSTAND MY USAGE.
00:25:53.66\00:25:56.43
AND I'LL GET EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
00:25:56.43\00:25:57.90
IN FACT, I WILL
SHOCK MYSELF SOMETIMES.
00:25:57.90\00:26:00.90
I'VE TOLD YOU
ABOUT ME AND MY DOG.
00:26:00.90\00:26:03.03
MY DOG IS GONE, BUT HE
WAS A WONDERFUL ANIMAL.
00:26:03.03\00:26:05.10
STAYED WITH ME IN MY STUDY.
00:26:05.10\00:26:07.16
AND WHEN I'D GET SOMETHING RIGHT
AND I'D STAND UP, HE'D STAND UP.
00:26:07.16\00:26:15.10
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT UNDERSTAND
THE BIBLE FROM TIME TO TIME.
00:26:15.10\00:26:19.23
HE'D GET EXCITED.
00:26:19.23\00:26:20.10
BUT THE FACT IS THAT IT'S
NOT HOW YOUR CHURCH WORSHIPS.
00:26:20.10\00:26:27.63
IT'S NOT THE STYLE.
00:26:27.63\00:26:33.40
IT'S THE SUBSTANCE.
00:26:33.40\00:26:35.20
Announcer: THANKS FOR WATCHING.
