The Bible says, If ye love
me, keep my--what, everybody?
00:02:15.96\00:02:18.70
Aud.:  Commandments.   PB: 
So if we're going to tell the
00:02:18.73\00:02:20.40
Lord we love Him, we've got
to love God the way He wants
00:02:20.44\00:02:22.37

00:02:22.40\00:02:25.47

let's understand
from the Word of God.
00:02:53.74\00:02:55.10
I'm going to teach you
more so than preach you tonight.
00:02:55.14\00:02:57.17
Is that all
right?   [Aud. reaction]

PB:  All right,
there's a famine in the land.
00:02:58.97\00:03:00.48
It's not for bread and
water but for the study of
00:03:00.51\00:03:02.01
the Word of God. If
we're going to leave out of
00:03:02.04\00:03:03.51
church shouting, let's say
something worth shouting about.
00:03:03.55\00:03:05.18
What do you say,
everybody? [Aud. reaction]
00:03:05.21\00:03:06.45
PB:  All right. Let's
go to the Word of God.
00:03:06.48\00:03:07.72
Let's go to Genesis, and
let's go to Genesis chapter 1.
00:03:07.75\00:03:11.29
Let's go there first.
Now, in the Word of God,
00:03:11.32\00:03:13.42
in Genesis chapter
1, we find and discover,
00:03:13.46\00:03:16.42
it is recorded
there, creation week.
00:03:16.46\00:03:19.26
Creation what,

Aud.:  Seven.   PB: 
There are seven days in a week.
00:03:26.40\00:03:29.27
So we're going to talk about
creation week now. Quickly,
00:03:29.30\00:03:31.11
let's go through this, and
remember, we are remembering
00:03:31.14\00:03:34.14
God's Sabbath day to keep
it holy. He is saying to us,
00:03:34.18\00:03:37.35
if you're going to love
Me, love Me how I want to be
00:03:37.38\00:03:39.71
loved and I need you to remember
My Sabbath to keep it holy.
00:03:39.75\00:03:42.72
The Word of God
says in Genesis 1:1.
00:03:42.75\00:03:44.72
If you have it let
me hear you say amen.
00:03:44.75\00:03:46.55

Word says "In the"--what?
00:03:46.59\00:03:48.16

"God created the heavens and
00:03:48.19\00:03:49.96

00:04:00.84\00:04:02.57
PB:  So I'm going to
have to move a little swift.
00:04:02.60\00:04:04.27
It's already 8:11, I'm
going to try to get you out
00:04:04.31\00:04:05.47
by 8:45. Is that all right,
everybody?   [Aud. reaction]
00:04:05.51\00:04:07.38
PB:  All right, but we've
got to move a little swift.
00:04:07.41\00:04:09.38
But I'm just saying, all the
texts we have written for you.
00:04:09.41\00:04:11.78
Genesis 1:1 says "In the
beginning, God created the
00:04:11.81\00:04:15.15
heavens and
the"--what?   Aud.: Earth.
00:04:15.18\00:04:16.85

00:04:16.89\00:04:18.65
"And the earth was

PB:  There was light.
"And God saw that the light
00:04:32.83\00:04:34.60
was good, and God divided
the light from the darkness,
00:04:34.64\00:04:36.74
and God called the light"--what,
everybody?  Aud.:  Day.
00:04:36.77\00:04:39.44
PB:  And the darkness he
called what?   Aud.:  Night.
00:04:39.47\00:04:41.44
PB:  "And the evening and
the morning were the"--what day?
00:04:41.48\00:04:43.14
Aud.:  First.   PB:  Okay, so
we discover, on day number one,
00:04:43.18\00:04:45.58
God created what,
everybody? Aud.:  Light.
00:04:45.61\00:04:47.52
PB:  The Bible defines light
as the evening and the--morning.
00:04:47.55\00:04:52.82
Which means from
sunset to sunset.
00:04:52.85\00:04:55.29
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:04:55.32\00:04:56.79
So we define a day
as we want to define it,
00:04:56.83\00:04:59.69
but God through His
Word defines a day as the
00:04:59.73\00:05:03.03

PB:  He created what?
Talk to me, He created what?

Aud.:  Light.   PB:  All right,
you gotta talk back to me.
00:05:12.71\00:05:14.38
Saying amen to a preacher is
like saying "sic 'em" to a dog.
00:05:14.41\00:05:17.38
So you gotta talk back
to me, all right? Day one,
00:05:17.41\00:05:19.35
God created light. There are
how many days left in the week?
00:05:19.38\00:05:21.22

00:05:21.25\00:05:24.72

a firmament in the

it divide the waters
from the waters. And God
00:05:36.46\00:05:37.60
made the firmament, and
divided the waters which
00:05:37.63\00:05:39.13
were under the
firmament from the waters which
00:05:39.17\00:05:40.70
were above the firmament:
and it was so. And God
00:05:40.74\00:05:43.04
called the firmament
Heaven. And the evening and
00:05:43.07\00:05:45.17

00:05:52.71\00:05:55.35
Aud.:  Firmament. 
PB:  Go to verse number 9.
00:05:55.38\00:05:57.15
The Word of God says,
"And God said, Let the waters
00:05:57.19\00:05:59.42
under the heaven be gathered
together unto one place,
00:05:59.45\00:06:02.32
and let the dry land
appear: and it was so.
00:06:02.36\00:06:04.59
And God called the dry
land"-- what, everybody?
00:06:04.63\00:06:07.10
Aud.:  Earth.  PB: 
"And the gathering together
00:06:07.13\00:06:08.83
of the waters called
the Seas: and God saw that
00:06:08.86\00:06:10.97
it was good. And God
said, Let the earth bring
00:06:11.00\00:06:13.54
forth grass, the
herb yielding seed,
00:06:13.57\00:06:15.30
and the fruit tree
yielding fruit after his kind,
00:06:15.34\00:06:17.37
whose seed is in
itself, upon the earth:
00:06:17.41\00:06:19.11
and it was so. And the
earth brought forth grass,
00:06:19.14\00:06:21.61
and herb yielding seed
after his kind, and the
00:06:21.64\00:06:23.95
tree yielding fruit,
whose seed was in itself,
00:06:23.98\00:06:25.98
after his kind: and
God saw that it was good.
00:06:26.01\00:06:28.65
And the evening and the
morning were the"--what day?
00:06:28.68\00:06:30.89
Aud.:  Third.  PB: 
All right, so on day three,
00:06:30.92\00:06:32.89

lights in the firmament
of the heaven to divide the
00:06:52.07\00:06:53.94
day from the night;
and let them be for signs,
00:06:53.98\00:06:55.58
and for seasons,
and for days, and years:
00:06:55.61\00:06:57.15
And let them be for
lights in the firmament of
00:06:57.18\00:06:59.11
the heaven to give
light upon the earth:
00:06:59.15\00:07:00.55
and it was so. And
God made two great lights;
00:07:00.58\00:07:02.75
the greater light to
rule the day, and the
00:07:02.78\00:07:04.75
lesser light to rule
the night: he made the
00:07:04.79\00:07:06.72
stars also. And God
set them in the firmament
00:07:06.76\00:07:09.36
of the heaven to give
light upon the earth."
00:07:09.39\00:07:10.89
Verse 18, "And to

Aud.:  Good.  PB:  "And the

Fourth.  PB: So on day four,
00:07:19.63\00:07:23.07
God created the
sun. Everybody say sun.
00:07:23.10\00:07:24.51
Aud.:  Sun.  PB: 
The moon, and the stars.
00:07:24.54\00:07:26.91
On day four, God
created the way? Sun, the--
00:07:26.94\00:07:28.64
Aud.:  Moon.   PB: 
And the-- Aud.:  Stars.
00:07:28.68\00:07:31.61
PB:  Day one, God
created light. Day two,
00:07:31.65\00:07:33.68
the firmament.
Day three, vegetation.
00:07:33.72\00:07:36.69
Day four, the sun,
the moon, and the what?
00:07:36.72\00:07:38.55
Aud.:  Stars.   PB:
 Now, this is why God
00:07:38.59\00:07:40.06
is all that, then
some, and the bag of chips.
00:07:40.09\00:07:42.26
Because how was it on day
one that God created light,
00:07:42.29\00:07:45.03
but it was not until day
four that God created the sun,
00:07:45.06\00:07:47.73
the moon and the
stars? God is an awesome God.
00:07:47.76\00:07:50.83
That's why He says I
Am That I Am. He created
00:07:50.87\00:07:54.64
light with no sun. I wish I
had a witness in this place.
00:07:54.67\00:07:57.17

God is a wonderful God.

Let's keep reading in the
Word of God. Verse number 20.
00:08:01.18\00:08:04.51
"And God said, Let the

00:08:34.01\00:08:35.18
on day five
created fish and fowl.
00:08:35.21\00:08:38.41
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:08:38.45\00:08:40.48
Fish and fowl. Birds
in the air and living
00:08:40.52\00:08:43.95
creatures in the
sea. Which means, then,
00:08:43.99\00:08:46.72

And God said, verse 24.
"Let the earth bring forth
00:09:48.82\00:09:53.12
the living creature

it was so. And God made

the beast of the
earth after his kind,
00:09:59.93\00:10:01.20

00:10:12.41\00:10:13.88
PB:  All right, let's
stop there. So we recognize,
00:10:13.91\00:10:15.34
man did not come from
monkey. Man came from God.
00:10:15.38\00:10:19.58
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:10:19.61\00:10:21.38
[Aud. reaction]  
PB:  Man came from God.
00:10:21.42\00:10:22.82
God said, "Let us
make man in our own image
00:10:22.85\00:10:25.52
after our likeness."
Also, this verse lets me
00:10:25.55\00:10:27.86
know the plurality of
the godhead. God the Father,
00:10:27.89\00:10:29.86
God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit.
00:10:29.89\00:10:32.23
The text does not
say, "And God said let
00:10:32.26\00:10:34.36
me make man," but the
text says "And God said
00:10:34.36\00:10:37.17
let us make man."
The Father, the Son,
00:10:37.20\00:10:39.83
and the Holy Ghost.
Three in one, the Father,
00:10:39.87\00:10:42.50
Son and Holy Ghost, working
to bring about our salvation.
00:10:42.54\00:10:46.61
God said, "Let us make
man in our own image after
00:10:46.64\00:10:48.98
our own likeness: and
let them have dominion
00:10:49.01\00:10:50.91
over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl
00:10:50.95\00:10:52.41
of the air, and
over the cattle, and over

all the earth, and
over every creeping
00:10:54.02\00:10:55.78
thing that
creepeth upon the earth."
00:10:55.82\00:10:57.15
Verse number 27,
"So God created man

Be fruitful, and multiply,

creepeth upon the earth,
00:11:38.79\00:11:39.93
wherein there is
life, I have given every

green herb for
meat: and it was so.
00:11:41.36\00:11:42.56
And God saw every
thing that he had made,

00:11:47.84\00:11:50.01
PB:  All right, so
on day six God created
00:11:50.04\00:11:52.01
mammal and man.
Mammal and man. Now remember,
00:11:52.04\00:11:59.08
all this ties in to
the fact that God says,
00:11:59.11\00:12:01.08
If you love Me,
keep My commandments.
00:12:01.12\00:12:02.78
God says his
commandment number four
00:12:02.82\00:12:05.02
love letter is:
Remember My day to keep
00:12:05.05\00:12:07.29

this all ties in together.

Genesis 2. Verse number 1,
00:12:25.14\00:12:29.68
the Word of God says,

PB:  Come on, what day?
00:12:42.46\00:12:45.33
Aud.:  Seventh.  
PB:  God did what?
00:12:45.36\00:12:46.73
Aud.:  "Ended his
work which he had made;
00:12:46.76\00:12:49.20

00:12:52.30\00:12:54.57

Aud.:  Seventh.  PB:  And
He did what else, everybody?
00:12:56.91\00:12:58.81
Aud.:  Rested.   PB: 
"Because that in it he had
00:12:58.84\00:13:00.84
rested from all his
work which God created and"-
00:13:00.88\00:13:02.41
- what, everybody?  
Aud.: Made.  PB:  Okay,
00:13:02.44\00:13:03.98
so let's stop there. On
day one God created light.
00:13:04.01\00:13:06.11
Day two the firmament.
Day three, vegetation.
00:13:06.15\00:13:08.12
Day four, sun, moon and
stars. Day five, fish and fowl.
00:13:08.15\00:13:11.12
Day six, mammal and man.
But on day seven, the Bible
00:13:11.15\00:13:15.69
says the heavens and the
earth were finished; that
00:13:15.72\00:13:18.76
God rested on the seventh
day. But then the text says
00:13:18.79\00:13:22.76
God blessed the seventh
day. But then the text also
00:13:22.80\00:13:26.77
says God sanctified the
seventh day. He blessed it,
00:13:26.80\00:13:30.74
He rested, and He
sanctified it. Are you hearing
00:13:30.77\00:13:33.11
what I'm saying? Now
remember, we're loving God
00:13:33.14\00:13:35.51
the way Gods wants to be
loved. God said in His love
00:13:35.54\00:13:38.38
letters, Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it what?
00:13:38.41\00:13:40.48
Holy. Then the Bible
says in creation week that on
00:13:40.52\00:13:43.85
day number seven God
rested, He blessed it,
00:13:43.89\00:13:47.22
and He sanctified it.
Which lets me know there's
00:13:47.26\00:13:50.16
something special
about that seventh day.
00:13:50.19\00:13:52.23
So let me study a
little bit more about
00:13:52.26\00:13:54.56
what the special
something is. So then,
00:13:54.60\00:13:57.33
I read Genesis
chapter 2, verses 1 through 3,
00:13:57.37\00:13:59.80
and I read Genesis
chapter 1, and I say, well,
00:13:59.83\00:14:01.97
let me get something
now from Exodus. So I go
00:14:02.00\00:14:04.07
over to Exodus and I
read God's love letters
00:14:04.11\00:14:06.11
in Exodus chapter
20, verses 8 through 11.
00:14:06.14\00:14:08.08
And God begins with
the word "Remember."
00:14:08.11\00:14:10.68
Now notice, in
commandments one, two and three,
00:14:10.71\00:14:13.48
in love letters one,
two and three, God begins
00:14:13.52\00:14:15.28
with the words "Thou
shalt not." But notice
00:14:15.32\00:14:17.89
in commandment
number four love letter,
00:14:17.92\00:14:20.46
God begins with
the word "Remember."
00:14:20.49\00:14:22.42
In commandment one,
Thou shalt have no other
00:14:22.46\00:14:24.56
gods before Me. In
commandment number two,
00:14:24.59\00:14:26.53
Thou shalt not make
unto thee any graven image.
00:14:26.56\00:14:28.46
In commandment
number three, Thou shalt not
00:14:28.50\00:14:30.33
take the name of the
Lord thy God in vain.
00:14:30.37\00:14:32.00
But yet in
commandment number four He says,
00:14:32.03\00:14:34.20
Remember. God, who's
all-knowing because He's
00:14:34.24\00:14:37.21
omniscient, God
knew, because He knows the
00:14:37.24\00:14:41.61
beginning from the
end, that somebody,
00:14:41.64\00:14:43.98
sometime would try
to change His love.
00:14:44.01\00:14:48.52
God knew that, which
is why God doesn't say,
00:14:48.55\00:14:50.82
Thou shalt keep the
Sabbath holy. But God says,
00:14:50.85\00:14:54.52
Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:14:54.56\00:14:56.86
Just in case somebody
forgets. Are you hearing what
00:14:56.89\00:14:58.96
I'm saying? Remember the
Sabbath day, Exodus 20:8,
00:14:58.99\00:15:03.50
go there. To keep it
holy. "Six days shalt thou
00:15:03.53\00:15:06.97
labour and do all thy
work, but the seventh day
00:15:07.00\00:15:09.34
is the"-- what,
everybody? Aud.:  Sabbath.
00:15:09.37\00:15:11.37
PB:  "Of the LORD thy

do any work, thou, nor
thy son, nor thy daughter,

thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle,
00:15:15.28\00:15:17.65

many days? Aud.:  Six days.
00:15:21.82\00:15:23.22
PB:  Six days. What did
the Lord do?  [Aud. reaction]
00:15:23.25\00:15:25.22
PB:  He made
"heaven and earth, the sea,
00:15:25.25\00:15:27.49
and all that in them
is, and"--then did what?
00:15:27.52\00:15:29.42
Aud.:  Rested.  PB: 
"Rested the seventh day.:
00:15:29.46\00:15:31.49
What else did He
do on the seventh day?
00:15:31.53\00:15:32.99
He blessed it, and
He did what, everybody?
00:15:33.03\00:15:35.06
[Aud. reaction]Rested.
 PB: There it is again.
00:15:35.10\00:15:38.17
He rested. Blessed it.
Sanctified it, or hallowed it.
00:15:38.20\00:15:41.67
Are you hearing what
I'm saying? But let's go a
00:15:41.70\00:15:43.61
step further. Go on in
Exodus to Exodus chapter 31.
00:15:43.64\00:15:46.94
We've got someone that's
saying, "Okay, it's clear.
00:15:46.98\00:15:49.68
God is saying if
we're going to love Him,
00:15:49.71\00:15:51.28
keep His commandments.
And if we're going to keep
00:15:51.31\00:15:53.05
His commandments and
love Him, we've got to
00:15:53.08\00:15:54.72
remember His day to
keep it holy. But then go to
00:15:54.75\00:15:57.19
Exodus chapter 31. And
I want you, if you will,
00:15:57.22\00:16:00.12
to go to verse number
12. Exodus chapter 31 and
00:16:00.16\00:16:04.03
verse number 12. The
Word of God says, "And the
00:16:04.06\00:16:07.13
LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak thou also
00:16:07.20\00:16:10.10
unto the children of
Israel, saying, Verily my
00:16:10.13\00:16:12.67
Sabbaths ye shall keep:
for it is a"--what, everybody?
00:16:12.70\00:16:15.34
Aud.:  Sign.  PB:  Come on, talk
to me, it is a what, everybody?
00:16:15.37\00:16:17.97
Aud.:  Sign.  PB: 
"Between me and you throughout
00:16:18.01\00:16:20.78
your generations."
Which means it doesn't stop.
00:16:20.81\00:16:23.38
"That ye may know that
I am the LORD that doth
00:16:23.41\00:16:26.51
sanctify you. Ye shall
keep the Sabbath therefore;
00:16:26.55\00:16:29.02
for it is"-- what, everybody?
It is what, everybody?
00:16:29.05\00:16:32.09
Aud.:  Holy.  PB: 
It is holy unto you.
00:16:32.12\00:16:34.72
"Every one that defileth it
shall surely be put to death:
00:16:34.76\00:16:36.36
for whosoever doeth any
work therein, that soul shall
00:16:36.39\00:16:39.06
be cut off from among
his people. Six days may work
00:16:39.09\00:16:41.53
be done; but in the
seventh is the sabbath of rest,
00:16:41.56\00:16:44.20
holy to the LORD:
whosoever doeth any work in the
00:16:44.23\00:16:46.67
sabbath day, he shall
surely be put to death.
00:16:46.70\00:16:49.17
Wherefore the children of
Israel shall keep the sabbath,
00:16:49.20\00:16:51.47
to observe the sabbath
throughout their generations,
00:16:51.51\00:16:54.41
for a perpetual covenant.
It is a sign between me
00:16:54.44\00:16:58.08
and the children of
Israel for ever: for in six days
00:16:58.11\00:17:01.18
the LORD made heaven and
earth, and on the seventh
00:17:01.22\00:17:02.98
day he rested, and was
refreshed. And he gave unto
00:17:03.02\00:17:05.89
Moses, when he had made an
end of communing with him upon
00:17:05.92\00:17:07.96
mount Sinai, two tables of
testimony, tables of stone,
00:17:07.99\00:17:11.49
written with the finger of God."
If God said it, that settles it.
00:17:11.53\00:17:16.13
[Aud. reaction]   PB: 
The Sabbath was to be a sign
00:17:16.16\00:17:20.84
between God and His
people forever. It was to be a
00:17:20.87\00:17:25.97
perpetual covenant.
Nothing was to change about it.
00:17:26.01\00:17:29.64
Why would God change His
law. God does not change.
00:17:29.68\00:17:33.05
Remember the Sabbath day
to keep it-- what, everybody?
00:17:33.08\00:17:36.02
Aud.:  Holy.  PB:  All
right, we said Genesis,
00:17:36.05\00:17:37.52
we said Exodus. Go to Leviticus
23. Go to verse number 3.
00:17:37.55\00:17:42.06
I say it all the
time: Know what you believe,
00:17:42.09\00:17:45.49
know why you believe it,
and know where it's found.
00:17:45.53\00:17:49.43
Know the Word of God
for yourself. Leviticus
00:17:49.46\00:17:52.40
chapter 23 and we're
going to verse number 3.
00:17:52.43\00:17:54.87
Leviticus chapter 23 and
we're going to verse number 3.
00:17:54.90\00:17:59.47
The Word of God says
in Leviticus chapter 23,
00:17:59.51\00:18:02.21
verse number 3, " Six
days shall work be done:
00:18:02.24\00:18:05.61
but the seventh day
is the sabbath of rest."
00:18:05.65\00:18:09.18
The Sabbath of"--what,
everybody?  Aud.:  Rest.
00:18:09.22\00:18:13.12
PB:  "An holy
convocation; ye shall do no work
00:18:13.15\00:18:15.32
therein: it is
the"-- what, everybody?
00:18:15.36\00:18:17.33
Aud.:  Sabbath.   PB: 
"Of the LORD in all your
00:18:17.36\00:18:18.93
dwellings." Okay, so,
we understand God says if
00:18:18.96\00:18:21.30
you're going to love
Me, keep My commandments.
00:18:21.33\00:18:23.16
If you're going to
love Me, remember My day to
00:18:23.20\00:18:25.13
keep it holy. Then
the Bible says that the
00:18:25.17\00:18:27.60
Sabbath is to be a
holy convocation. Now,
00:18:27.64\00:18:30.91
let's unpack what
holy convocation is. We
00:18:30.94\00:18:33.38
know what holy means,
because holy is synonymous
00:18:33.41\00:18:35.21
with sanctified.
Sanctified means set apart.
00:18:35.24\00:18:37.91
When we talk about
something being holy,
00:18:37.95\00:18:39.48
we're talking
about setting it apart.
00:18:39.51\00:18:40.88
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:18:40.92\00:18:42.62
The Sabbath is holy.
The Sabbath is sanctified.
00:18:42.65\00:18:44.65
The Sabbath is set
apart. But not only that,
00:18:44.69\00:18:47.09
the Bible says on
God's Sabbath it is to be a
00:18:47.12\00:18:49.92
holy convocation.
Which means, convocation by
00:18:49.96\00:18:53.03
definition is a
coming together. Convocation
00:18:53.06\00:18:55.56
by definition is an
assembly. When we say we're
00:18:55.60\00:18:58.33
having a youth convocation,
we're saying a youth
00:18:58.37\00:19:00.67
coming together. When we
say a senior adult convocation,
00:19:00.70\00:19:03.91
we're saying a senior
adult coming together.
00:19:03.94\00:19:06.44
When we say a holy
convocation, we're saying
00:19:06.47\00:19:09.54
a holy coming
together, which is why on God's
00:19:09.58\00:19:12.78
seventh-day
Sabbath, because He rested,
00:19:12.81\00:19:15.18
because He blessed it,
because He sanctified it,
00:19:15.22\00:19:17.85
it is a holy convocation.
A holy convocation means
00:19:17.89\00:19:21.16
a holy coming
together, a holy assembly.
00:19:21.19\00:19:23.63
I find myself in God's
house on God's Sabbath,
00:19:23.66\00:19:26.83
because I love God.
It's a holy gathering,
00:19:26.86\00:19:29.43
it's a holy assembly,
it's a holy coming together.
00:19:29.46\00:19:31.87
I was glad when they
said unto me, let us go
00:19:31.90\00:19:36.04
into the house of the
Lord.  But it gets better.
00:19:36.07\00:19:43.48
Genesis, Exodus,
Leviticus. Go to Deuteronomy 5.
00:19:43.51\00:19:50.22
Go to Deuteronomy 5,
verse number 12. Now,
00:19:50.25\00:19:58.03
I'm a firm believer
that repetition deepens
00:19:58.06\00:20:00.66
the impression. So if
God says something once,
00:20:00.70\00:20:04.20
you know it means
something. But if God says
00:20:04.23\00:20:07.07
something twice,
you sure enough know it
00:20:07.10\00:20:09.34
means something.
When you go to Deuteronomy
00:20:09.37\00:20:12.11
chapter 5, verse
number 12--when you have it,
00:20:12.14\00:20:15.54
let me hear you
say amen.  Aud.: Amen.
00:20:15.58\00:20:18.48
PB:  Deuteronomy
chapter 5 verse number 12,
00:20:18.51\00:20:21.05
the Word of God
says, "Keep the sabbath day
00:20:21.08\00:20:24.32
to sanctify it, as
the LORD thy God hath
00:20:24.35\00:20:27.46
commanded thee. Six
days thou shalt labour,
00:20:27.49\00:20:29.16
and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is
00:20:29.19\00:20:31.06
the sabbath of the
LORD thy God: in it thou
00:20:31.09\00:20:32.93
shalt not do any
work, thou, nor thy son,
00:20:32.96\00:20:34.50
nor thy daughter,
nor thy manservant,
00:20:34.56\00:20:36.06
nor thy
maidservant, nor thine ox,
00:20:36.10\00:20:38.07
nor thine ass,
nor any of thy cattle,
00:20:38.10\00:20:39.90
nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates;
00:20:39.93\00:20:41.87
that thy manservant
and thy maidservant may
00:20:41.90\00:20:44.54
rest as well as
thou." But this is what I
00:20:44.57\00:20:48.31
like about verse
15. "And remember that
00:20:48.34\00:20:50.51
thou wast a servant
in the land of Egypt,
00:20:50.55\00:20:52.65
and that the LORD
thy God brought thee out
00:20:52.68\00:20:55.65
thence through a
mighty hand and by a stretched
00:20:55.68\00:20:57.95
out arm: therefore
the LORD thy God commanded
00:20:57.99\00:21:02.92
thee to keep the sabbath
day." What is God saying?
00:21:02.96\00:21:07.36
God is saying, look,
you were in Egypt tending
00:21:07.40\00:21:11.30
flesh pots. You were in
Egypt working for the man.
00:21:11.33\00:21:15.87
You were in Egypt
and you were a slave.
00:21:15.90\00:21:18.64
But I am the One who
brought you out of bondage.
00:21:18.67\00:21:21.34
I am the One who
brought you out of slavery.
00:21:21.38\00:21:24.55
I am the One who
brought you out of working
00:21:24.58\00:21:27.08
for the man, and I
have now set you free.
00:21:27.12\00:21:29.92
And in homage to
Me, you're going to keep
00:21:29.95\00:21:32.82
My Sabbath day
holy. Because it's My hand
00:21:32.85\00:21:36.49
that brought you out.
If you're going to love Me,
00:21:36.52\00:21:42.66
love Me in the way
that I want you to love Me.
00:21:42.70\00:21:48.64
I told you on night
number one, I learned in
00:21:48.67\00:21:51.34
19 years of marriage
with my wife, I've got to
00:21:51.37\00:21:54.44
love her the way
she wants to be loved.
00:21:54.48\00:21:56.95
I can't take her to a
basketball game on her birthday.
00:21:56.98\00:22:00.68
That's what I want, but
that's not what she wants.
00:22:00.72\00:22:04.22
Are you hearing what
I'm saying? You've got to
00:22:04.25\00:22:06.79
love God in the way
God wants to be loved,
00:22:06.82\00:22:09.92
not the way you feel
you ought to love God.
00:22:09.96\00:22:13.40
Genesis, Exodus,
Leviticus, Deuteronomy.
00:22:13.43\00:22:18.57
Go to Isaiah. Isaiah
58. Let's work our way

Some people go to church,
00:22:24.44\00:22:27.24
they shout and they get
out of church and it's "Oo,
00:22:27.28\00:22:29.04
we had church
tonight. We were shouting."
00:22:29.08\00:22:31.61
"What you all shouting about?"
00:22:31.65\00:22:33.01

Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:22:37.89\00:22:39.62
Thy word have I hid in my heart,
00:22:39.65\00:22:41.16
that I might not
sin against thee.
00:22:41.19\00:22:42.62
Thy word is a
lamp unto my feet and a
00:22:42.66\00:22:44.93
light unto my
path. To the law and to
00:22:44.96\00:22:46.93
the testimony, if
they speak not according
00:22:46.96\00:22:49.20
to this Word, it is
because there is no light
00:22:49.23\00:22:51.30
in them, and I ain't
following nobody in darkness.
00:22:51.33\00:22:53.37

right. So then, on God's
00:23:36.95\00:23:40.65
Sabbath, it's not
a day of drudgery.
00:23:40.68\00:23:42.65
God's Sabbath is
not a day of morbidity.
00:23:42.68\00:23:46.79
God's Sabbath, the Bible says,
00:23:46.82\00:23:48.76
should be a delight.
Should be a what, everybody?
00:23:48.79\00:23:50.83
Aud.:  Delight. 
 PB:  Which means,
00:23:50.86\00:23:52.03
I look forward to
spending time on God's Sabbath.
00:23:52.06\00:23:54.93
I look forward to
spending time with God on
00:23:54.93\00:23:56.87
God's Sabbath,
because I love me some God.
00:23:56.90\00:23:59.17
I wish I had some more
loveth of the Lord, tonight.
00:23:59.20\00:24:01.50
[Aud. reaction] 
PB:  I love me some God,
00:24:01.54\00:24:03.17
and so because I love
God, I don't do mine own ways.
00:24:03.20\00:24:06.17
I don't find my own pleasure.
I don't speak my own words.
00:24:06.21\00:24:10.81
Because it's my day with
God. You see, understand,
00:24:10.85\00:24:14.35
I love to go to the
State Warriors. And I'm hoping
00:24:14.38\00:24:19.55
they do it again. Come
on, say amen. But understand,
00:24:19.59\00:24:21.26
on God's Sabbath I
can't fool with the Warriors,
00:24:21.29\00:24:22.86
because it's my time
with God. Are you hearing
00:24:22.89\00:24:24.76
what I'm saying? Because I
understand on God's Sabbath,
00:24:24.79\00:24:27.23
I have a date with God.
 Let me make this plain.
00:24:27.23\00:24:30.90
You know my wife is
beautiful. She's sitting right
00:24:30.93\00:24:32.77
there on row number three at
the end. Say amen for my wife.
00:24:32.80\00:24:35.87
Aud.:  Amen.   PB:  So, we used
to be students on this campus,
00:24:35.90\00:24:39.11
a long time ago. Long
time ago. I graduated from
00:24:39.14\00:24:44.85
college over 20 years
ago. I don't look that old,
00:24:44.88\00:24:46.82
do I? Say amen!  
Aud.:  Amen. PB:  When you're
00:24:46.85\00:24:48.45
supposed to say amen, you
don't say amen, and when you--
00:24:48.48\00:24:53.42
But when I was a
student on this campus,
00:24:53.46\00:24:57.29
I saw that wonderful
young lady in the gym.
00:24:57.33\00:25:01.10
And she was playing
volleyball, and I was the ref.
00:25:01.13\00:25:05.13
Come on, say
amen.  [Aud. reaction]
00:25:05.17\00:25:07.90
PB:  And I saw her
playing volleyball.
00:25:07.94\00:25:10.51
I said, Oo, she's
fine!!  [Aud. reaction]
00:25:10.54\00:25:14.08
PB:  And I have a
twin brother. You know,
00:25:14.11\00:25:16.41
I didn't want to
get sent out of here,
00:25:16.44\00:25:17.88
as the young people
say. So I said to my brother,
00:25:17.91\00:25:19.71
"Go tell her that
she has an admirer."
00:25:19.75\00:25:22.08
And sure enough, he
messed the whole thing up
00:25:22.12\00:25:24.55
and went and told her
everything. But as it were,
00:25:24.59\00:25:26.59
when I was dating my wife,
I couldn't do what I now do.
00:25:26.62\00:25:30.99
So I said, "Would you like
to go out with me on a date?"
00:25:31.03\00:25:34.30
She said, "Sure." Now,
she probably thought she was
00:25:34.36\00:25:38.37
going to Olive Garden, or
somewhere nice. But you know,
00:25:38.40\00:25:43.30
I was on a budget. Come
on, say amen. I was in college.
00:25:43.34\00:25:46.61
College is a
temporary state of poverty.
00:25:46.64\00:25:48.94
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:25:48.98\00:25:51.78
[Aud. reaction]  PB:  And
I said, "Baby, I'm taking you
00:25:51.81\00:25:53.82
out." "Do you know where
we're going?" I said, "It's a
00:25:53.85\00:25:56.32
surprise." Got in my car,
took her to a nice restaurant,
00:25:56.35\00:26:01.06
better known to us
as the Golden Arches.
00:26:01.09\00:26:03.22
You all don't
hear what I'm saying.
00:26:03.26\00:26:05.06
[Aud. reaction]  
PB: McDonalds. She said,
00:26:05.09\00:26:06.73
"Are we going here?" "Yes,
you can supersize that thing.
00:26:06.76\00:26:09.03
" Come on, say
amen!   [Aud. reaction]
00:26:09.06\00:26:11.87
PB:  But I'm sitting
with her in the Golden Arches,
00:26:11.90\00:26:15.00
and I'm on a date with my
wife. Now, I'm not looking
00:26:15.04\00:26:18.41
to the left, I'm not looking
to the right, I'm looking
00:26:18.44\00:26:21.41
straight at my wife, because
I have a date with my wife.
00:26:21.44\00:26:24.58
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
My attentions are on her,
00:26:24.61\00:26:27.95
because I'm focusing on
her, and I'm wanting her to
00:26:27.98\00:26:31.22
focus in on me, because
I'm on a date with my wife.
00:26:31.25\00:26:34.32
Are you hearing what I'm
saying? I dressed my best;
00:26:34.36\00:26:37.39
I smelled my best;
I was talking my best,
00:26:37.43\00:26:41.46
because I was on
a date with my wife.
00:26:41.50\00:26:43.97
How much more son, on
God's seventh day Sabbath,
00:26:44.00\00:26:46.77
that we come into the house
of God for a holy convocation.
00:26:46.80\00:26:51.07
I'm on a date with
my God. I look my best,
00:26:51.11\00:26:54.78
I smell my best, I act
my best, I worship my best,
00:26:54.81\00:26:58.31
I praise Him my best,
because I have a date with God!
00:26:58.35\00:27:05.52
[Aud. reaction]   PB: 
Not speaking my own words;
00:27:05.55\00:27:12.86
not doing my own pleasure;
not finding my own ways,
00:27:12.89\00:27:19.67
because I'm on a date
with God. And just like it was
00:27:19.70\00:27:25.61
a delight with my
wife at the Golden Arches,
00:27:25.64\00:27:28.31
it's a delight every
seventh-day Sabbath for
00:27:28.34\00:27:34.02
me to have a date
and commune with my God.
00:27:34.05\00:27:39.39
But go a step
further. Go to Isaiah 66.
00:27:39.42\00:27:43.26
On the seventh day
God rested, blessed and
00:27:43.29\00:27:49.36
sanctified it.
But go to Isaiah 66,
00:27:49.40\00:27:52.23
and go to verse
number 22. The Lord lets us
00:27:52.27\00:27:56.30
know that His Sabbath
is a perpetual covenant
00:27:56.34\00:27:58.57
throughout generations.
Not just in the here
00:27:58.61\00:28:01.14
and now but also
in the heaven to come.
00:28:01.18\00:28:03.51
The Word of God
says, Isaiah 66, verse 22.
00:28:03.55\00:28:06.01
If you have it, let
me hear you say amen.
00:28:06.05\00:28:07.68
Aud.:  Amen.  PB: 
The Word of God says in
00:28:07.72\00:28:09.82
verse number 22 of
Isaiah 66, "For as the new
00:28:09.85\00:28:11.32
heavens and the new
earth, which I will make,
00:28:11.35\00:28:13.05
shall remain
before me, saith the LORD,
00:28:13.09\00:28:14.96
so shall your"--what, everybody?
