(MUSIC)
00:00:00.30\00:00:14.68
>>I WANT TO WELCOME ANY
VISITORS THAT WE MAY HAVE HERE
00:00:14.71\00:00:16.54
TODAY AND WE'RE GLAD THAT YOU'RE
VISITING. OUR CHURCH NORMALLY
00:00:16.58\00:00:22.68
DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THIS UP
FRONT. WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH
00:00:22.72\00:00:25.79
A SERIES DEALING
WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:00:25.82\00:00:28.49
WE THOUGHT THAT WAS A
WORTHY SUBJECT FOR US TO STUDY
00:00:28.52\00:00:31.73
TOGETHER BECAUSE THESE ARE THE
WORDS THAT GOD SPOKE WITH HIS
00:00:31.76\00:00:36.00
OWN VOICE, HE WROTE WITH HIS
OWN FINGER - THEY CONSTITUTE THE
00:00:36.03\00:00:40.47
ESSENCE OF HIS
COVENANT BY WHICH WE ARE SAVED.
00:00:40.50\00:00:44.07
OLD COVENANT - WRITTEN ON
STONE - NEW COVENANT - SAME LAW
00:00:44.11\00:00:48.04
BUT IT'S WRITTEN ON
THE HEART THROUGH LOVE.
00:00:48.08\00:00:51.81
AND SO WE'VE FOUND IT'S
EDIFYING TO TALK ABOUT THESE
00:00:51.85\00:00:55.82
COMMANDMENTS. I'VE
BEEN BLESSED JUST IN
00:00:55.85\00:00:58.39
STUDYING TO PREPARE
THESE MESSAGES FOR YOU.
00:00:58.42\00:01:01.52
WELL, I'VE BEEN BLESSED AND
I'VE BEEN CONVICTED TOO BECAUSE
00:01:01.56\00:01:04.93
I'VE FOUND THAT THE
LAW IS - IT'S VERY BROAD.
00:01:04.96\00:01:08.43
IT'S VERY COMPREHENSIVE IN
WHAT IT COVERS AND SOME THINGS
00:01:08.46\00:01:11.57
WE THINK THAT 'WELL, THAT'S
NOT REALLY COVERED BY THE LAW.'
00:01:11.60\00:01:14.84
YOU REALIZE EACH OF
THOSE COMMANDMENTS IS GENIUS IN
00:01:14.87\00:01:19.97
HOW FAR-REACHING THEY ARE IN
WHAT THE - THOSE TEN WORDS OF
00:01:20.01\00:01:28.38
THE DECALOGUE - WHAT THEY
COVER. IT'S JUST AMAZING TO ME.
00:01:28.42\00:01:32.52
AND TODAY WE ARE ON
COMMANDMENT NUMBER 9, WHICH YOU
00:01:32.55\00:01:37.43
FIND ON THE SECOND TABLE OF THE
LAW AND IT'S IN EXODUS 20:16 -
00:01:37.46\00:01:44.43
SHORT - COVERS A LOT THOUGH.
"YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE
00:01:44.47\00:01:49.87
WITNESS AGAINST YOUR
NEIGHBOR." SO THE MESSAGE
00:01:49.90\00:01:53.54
TODAY IS, OF COURSE, THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS NUMBER 9 -
00:01:53.58\00:01:56.98
'SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE'
- SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE.
00:01:57.01\00:02:03.15
NOW, WE MIGHT BE
WONDERING, 'WELL, YOU'RE NOT
00:02:03.18\00:02:06.45
SUPPOSED TO BEAR FALSE TESTIMONY
AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR, WELL,
00:02:06.49\00:02:10.66
WHO'S YOUR NEIGHBOR?'
JESUS ANSWERS THAT QUESTION
00:02:10.69\00:02:14.03
IN THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD
SAMARITAN. EVERYBODY WHO'S IN
00:02:14.10\00:02:17.53
NEED IS YOUR NEIGHBOR.
AND SO, REALLY, THIS IS A
00:02:17.57\00:02:20.57
COMMANDMENT THAT'S
TELLING US TO TELL THE TRUTH.
00:02:20.60\00:02:24.01
YOU SEE, THE BIBLE'S
PRETTY CLEAR JESUS IS THE TRUTH
00:02:24.04\00:02:28.81
- CHRIST IS THE EMBODIMENT OF
THE TRUTH AND AS CHRISTIANS WE
00:02:28.84\00:02:33.58
WANT TO FOLLOW CHRIST SO WE WANT
THE TRUTH ENGRAINED IN OUR LIVES
00:02:33.62\00:02:38.29
AND IN ALL THAT WE SAY
AND IN ALL THAT WE SHARE.
00:02:38.32\00:02:41.56
BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY,
THIS NINTH COMMANDMENT IS
00:02:41.59\00:02:43.96
DEALING WITH SOMETHING
THAT WE THINK OF AS PERJURY.
00:02:43.99\00:02:48.00
PERJURY IS, OF COURSE, WHEN YOU
BEAR FALSE WITNESS WHILE UNDER
00:02:48.03\00:02:51.73
OATH TO TELL THE TRUTH.
NOW PEOPLE GO TO COURT AND
00:02:51.77\00:02:57.61
THEY MIGHT BEAR FALSE WITNESS
WHEN IT COMES TO A TRAFFIC
00:02:57.64\00:03:00.18
CITATION OR THEY MIGHT BEAR
FALSE WITNESS WHEN, YOU KNOW,
00:03:00.21\00:03:04.48
IT COMES TO SHOPLIFTING OR
SOMETHING AND WE'RE LIVING IN
00:03:04.51\00:03:08.85
THE AGE OF COURT TV AND IT
SEEMS LIKE WE'RE SURROUNDED WITH
00:03:08.88\00:03:16.19
VISUAL IMAGES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
SITTING IN EITHER THE BENCH OF
00:03:16.22\00:03:21.26
THE DEFENDANT OR THE
WITNESS AND THERE'S SO MUCH OF
00:03:21.30\00:03:25.37
THAT THESE DAYS.
BUT WHAT'S REALLY SAD IS
00:03:25.40\00:03:28.07
PERJURY - FALSE TESTIMONY - HAS
BECOME EXTREMELY COMMONPLACE.
00:03:28.10\00:03:34.68
YOU'LL SEE VIDEO RECORDINGS
OF CONFESSIONS AND THEN WHEN
00:03:34.71\00:03:38.38
THEY FINALLY GET INTO THE BOX
THEY SAY, 'OH, THAT WAS UNDER
00:03:38.41\00:03:41.05
PRESSURE. IT'S NOT
TRUE.' BUT THEN ALL THE
00:03:41.08\00:03:43.28
EVIDENCE COMES IN AND IT SHOWS
THAT THEY'RE JUST LYING AND
00:03:43.32\00:03:46.65
IT SEEMS TO COME
SO EASY. WHY IS THAT?
00:03:46.69\00:03:50.19
YOU KNOW, WE'RE LIVING IN A
TIME THAT'S UNIQUE IN THAT THIS
00:03:50.23\00:03:54.96
IS A CULTURE THAT IS
SATURATED WITH MEDIA.
00:03:55.00\00:03:59.93
WE'RE SURROUNDED WITH
TELEVISION PROGRAMS - EVERYTHING
00:04:00.04\00:04:03.34
FROM COMMERCIALS TO DAYTIME
DRAMA TO THE MOVIES AND DVDS IS
00:04:03.37\00:04:08.58
FILLED WITH ACTING. AND
YOU KNOW WHAT ACTING IS?
00:04:08.61\00:04:15.55
MY MOTHER WAS AN ACTRESS AND
SHE USED TO TELL ME, 'DOUG, IN
00:04:15.58\00:04:20.72
ORDER TO BE A GOOD ACTOR OR
ACTRESS YOU NEED TO BE A GOOD
00:04:20.76\00:04:24.36
LIAR.' AND IT WAS ALMOST
COMMENDED AND ENCOURAGED.
00:04:24.39\00:04:30.27
AND THERE HAVE EVEN BEEN
EDUCATORS IN OUR COUNTRY -
00:04:30.30\00:04:35.80
POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP
AND EDUCATION - THAT SAY WE
00:04:35.84\00:04:38.57
SHOULDN'T TAKE IT TOO
SERIOUSLY WHEN THESE YOUNG MINDS
00:04:38.61\00:04:41.41
BEGIN TO CONJURE UP DECEPTION
'THAT SHOWS CREATIVITY' - AND
00:04:41.44\00:04:47.25
IT'S ALMOST ENCOURAGED. AND
WHEN SO MANY OF THE PROGRAMS
00:04:47.28\00:04:55.02
WHERE THE ACTORS ARE THEN LYING
IN THE SCRIPT AND PEOPLE LAUGH
00:04:55.06\00:05:00.16
AND THEY THINK IT'S CUNNING,
IT'S CLEVER, IT'S FUNNY.
00:05:00.20\00:05:03.80
AND I CAN GO ALL THE WAY BACK -
NOW THE PROGRAMMING THAT I GREW
00:05:03.83\00:05:06.53
UP ON WAS PRETTY TAME AND MILD
COMPARED TO WHAT'S OUT THERE
00:05:06.57\00:05:10.21
TODAY. I MEAN,
BUT EVERYTHING FROM
00:05:10.24\00:05:13.01
'BEWITCHED' TO 'GILLIGAN'S
ISLAND' - THERE WAS ALL KINDS
00:05:13.04\00:05:15.51
OF LYING AND DECEPTION THAT WE
THOUGHT WAS CUTE AND YOU'D HEAR
00:05:15.54\00:05:19.38
THE LAUGH TRACK - YOU
KNOW WHAT THE LAUGH TRACK IS?
00:05:19.41\00:05:22.48
THEY HAVE PRE-RECORDED
PEOPLE LAUGHING DURING THESE
00:05:22.52\00:05:25.95
SITCOMS AND THEY'D PLAY THE
BUTTON AND WHENEVER SOMEONE TOLD
00:05:25.99\00:05:28.86
A LITTLE LIE OR THEY GAVE SOME
DECEPTION, THEY'D PLAY THE LAUGH
00:05:28.89\00:05:32.23
TRACK AND YOU WERE MADE TO
THINK, 'THIS IS JUST FUNNY.' BUT
00:05:32.26\00:05:37.10
DOES GOD SEE LYING AS FUNNY?
WE'VE BEEN PROGRAMMED TO JUST
00:05:37.13\00:05:42.40
WINK - AND YOU CAN
LIE WITH A WINK, YOU KNOW.
00:05:42.44\00:05:46.21
WE HAVE BEEN SO SATURATED
WITH DECEPTION AND UNTRUTH THAT
00:05:46.24\00:05:51.85
I THINK WE'RE LIVING IN A
CULTURE THAT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
00:05:51.88\00:05:55.02
FOR PEOPLE TO
UNDERSTAND 'WHAT IS THE TRUTH?'
00:05:55.05\00:05:59.69
WHAT IS THE TRUTH? YOU
KNOW, ULTIMATELY, CHRIST
00:05:59.72\00:06:03.39
WAS CONDEMNED BECAUSE
PILATE SAID, 'WHAT IS TRUTH?'
00:06:03.43\00:06:07.20
WHO WAS IT - MARK TWAIN -
THAT SAID, 'THE REASON THAT
00:06:07.23\00:06:10.27
PEOPLE HOLD THE TRUTH IN SUCH
HIGH REGARD IS THEY HAVE SUCH
00:06:10.30\00:06:12.90
LITTLE OPPORTUNITY TO GET USED
TO IT.' THE REASON PEOPLE HOLD
00:06:12.93\00:06:17.41
THE TRUTH IN SUCH HIGH
REGARD IS THEY HAVE SUCH LITTLE
00:06:17.44\00:06:19.87
OPPORTUNITY TO
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH IT.
00:06:19.91\00:06:22.44
THERE'S SO LITTLE OF IT - OF
REAL TRUTH - THAT IT'S HIGHLY
00:06:22.48\00:06:26.92
ESTEEMED BUT PEOPLE
DON'T REALLY SPEAK IT.
00:06:26.95\00:06:31.35
WELL, IN THE BIBLE TIMES
BEARING FALSE TESTIMONY WASN'T
00:06:31.39\00:06:35.62
JUST LIKE SOMEBODY GETTING
AWAY WITH SHOPLIFTING OR A
00:06:35.66\00:06:39.06
TRAFFIC CITATION.
BEARING FALSE TESTIMONY -
00:06:39.09\00:06:42.33
YOU REALIZE THE FIRST FOUR
- ACTUALLY, MORE THAN THAT -
00:06:42.36\00:06:46.87
THE FIRST SEVEN COMMANDMENTS
- MAYBE EVEN EIGHT DEPENDING ON
00:06:46.90\00:06:50.97
THE NATURE OF IT -
THE PENALTY WAS DEATH.
00:06:51.01\00:06:54.61
AND SO IF SOMEBODY GAVE
FALSE TESTIMONY IT COULD COST
00:06:54.64\00:06:59.11
ANOTHER PERSON THEIR
LIFE. BY THE WAY, OUR FALSE
00:06:59.15\00:07:02.55
TESTIMONY COST JESUS HIS
LIFE. LYING IS STILL DEADLY.
00:07:02.58\00:07:08.62
NOTICE, DEUTERONOMY
17:6, "WHOEVER IS DESERVING OF
00:07:08.66\00:07:13.70
DEATH SHALL BE PUT TO DEATH
ON THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE
00:07:13.73\00:07:17.93
WITNESSES; HE SHALL NOT BE
PUT TO DEATH ON THE TESTIMONY OF
00:07:17.97\00:07:20.80
ONE WITNESS." YOU WOULD WANT
THOSE WITNESSES TO BE GIVING
00:07:20.84\00:07:24.61
HONEST, ACCURATE TESTIMONY.
NOW NOTICE, IF YOU WERE GOING TO
00:07:24.64\00:07:29.18
BEAR TESTIMONY AGAINST SOMEONE,
AND THE PENALTY WAS DEATH, WHO
00:07:29.21\00:07:32.65
DO YOU THINK
THREW THE FIRST STONE?
00:07:32.68\00:07:35.28
WHEN JESUS MADE THAT
STATEMENT IN JOHN CHAPTER 8, HE
00:07:35.32\00:07:37.62
WAS QUOTING BACK TO THE TIME
OF MOSES WHERE, WHEN SOMEONE
00:07:37.65\00:07:40.52
GAVE TESTIMONY, AND SOMEONE ELSE
WAS FOUND GUILTY, THEY DIDN'T
00:07:40.56\00:07:44.26
HAVE TEN YEARS OF APPEALS ON
DEATH ROW, THEY DRUG HIM OUTSIDE
00:07:44.29\00:07:48.10
THE CAMP AND THEY FOUND SOME
ROCKS AND THEY WERE EXECUTED.
00:07:48.13\00:07:55.27
- "THE HANDS OF THE WITNESSES
SHALL BE THE FIRST AGAINST HIM
00:07:55.30\00:07:58.01
TO PUT HIM TO DEATH, AND
AFTERWARD THE HANDS OF ALL THE
00:07:58.04\00:08:00.94
PEOPLE. SO YOU SHALL PUT
AWAY THE EVIL FROM AMONG YOU."
00:08:00.98\00:08:04.78
DEUTERONOMY 19 - NOW
WHAT HAPPENED IF YOU WERE A
00:08:04.81\00:08:07.12
FALSE WITNESS IN A CASE
- IF YOU PERJURED YOURSELF?
00:08:07.15\00:08:11.95
DEUTERONOMY 19, VERSE 16
- IF YOU'RE TAKING NOTES.
00:08:11.99\00:08:15.62
"IF A FALSE WITNESS RISES
AGAINST ANY MAN TO TESTIFY
00:08:15.66\00:08:19.36
AGAINST HIM OF WRONGDOING,
THEN BOTH MEN IN THE CONTROVERSY
00:08:19.39\00:08:23.40
SHALL STAND BEFORE THE
LORD, BEFORE THE PRIESTS AND THE
00:08:23.43\00:08:25.97
JUDGES WHO SERVE IN THOSE DAYS.
00:08:26.00\00:08:27.57
AND THE JUDGES SHALL
MAKE CAREFUL INQUIRY," -
00:08:27.60\00:08:29.80
THERE'LL BE AN INVESTIGATION -
"AND INDEED, IF THE WITNESS IS A
00:08:29.84\00:08:33.41
FALSE WITNESS, WHO HAS
TESTIFIED FALSELY AGAINST HIS
00:08:33.44\00:08:36.81
BROTHER, THEN YOU SHALL DO TO
HIM AS HE THOUGHT TO HAVE DONE
00:08:36.85\00:08:39.98
TO HIS BROTHER; SO YOU SHALL PUT
AWAY THE EVIL FROM AMONG YOU.
00:08:40.02\00:08:43.89
AND THOSE WHO REMAIN SHALL
HEAR AND FEAR, AND THEREAFTER
00:08:43.92\00:08:47.69
THEY SHALL NOT AGAIN COMMIT SUCH
EVIL AMONG YOU." - AS TO BEAR
00:08:47.72\00:08:50.46
FALSE TESTIMONY AGAINST YOUR
NEIGHBOR - "YOUR EYE SHALL NOT
00:08:50.49\00:08:53.60
PITY: LIFE SHALL BE FOR LIFE,
EYE FOR EYE, TOOTH FOR TOOTH,
00:08:53.63\00:08:57.33
HAND FOR HAND, FOOT FOR FOOT."
IN OTHER WORDS, IF SOMEONE WAS
00:08:57.37\00:09:00.97
BEARING FALSE WITNESS AGAINST
HIS NEIGHBOR AND THE PENALTY FOR
00:09:01.00\00:09:05.37
THAT CRIME WAS DEATH, THE
FALSE WITNESS WAS EXECUTED.
00:09:05.41\00:09:09.38
IF SOMEONE WAS BEARING
FALSE WITNESS AND IT WAS A FINE
00:09:09.41\00:09:12.55
FOR $50.00, YOU TOOK $50.00
AWAY FROM THE FALSE WITNESS.
00:09:12.58\00:09:16.18
IF IT WAS HAVING YOUR
HAND CHOPPED OFF FOR STEALING -
00:09:16.22\00:09:18.79
NOT THAT THE ISRAELITES DID THAT
- THEY GOT THEIR HAND CHOPPED
00:09:18.82\00:09:21.52
OFF. IF THEY SAID, 'OH, THEY'RE
THE ONES WHO KNOCKED OUT SO AND
00:09:21.56\00:09:25.26
SO'S TOOTH BUT IT WASN'T TRUE,
THE FALSE WITNESSES TOOTH GOT
00:09:25.29\00:09:27.93
KNOCKED OUT - OR EYE
POKED OUT - OR WHATEVER IT WAS.
00:09:27.96\00:09:30.90
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU WOULD
APPLY TO THE FALSE WITNESS
00:09:30.93\00:09:33.23
WHATEVER HIS TESTIMONY WOULD
HAVE CAUSED TO BE THE PENALTY
00:09:33.27\00:09:36.94
AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY.
SO IF THEY REALLY - YOU KNOW
00:09:36.97\00:09:41.21
WHAT HAPPENS NOW? WITH DNA
- DNA'S CREATED A WHOLE NEW
00:09:41.24\00:09:44.95
SCIENCE OF EVIDENCE
IN CRIMINAL STUDIES.
00:09:44.98\00:09:50.02
THEY HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE
WHO WERE IN PRISON 10, 15, 25
00:09:50.05\00:09:55.82
YEARS, IN ONE CASE, FOR CRIMES
- BECAUSE THEY STILL HAD THE
00:09:55.86\00:09:58.39
EVIDENCE THEY CHECKED -
THEY FOUND OUT THIS MAN WAS NOT
00:09:58.43\00:10:01.56
GUILTY OF THIS
RAPE HE WAS ACCUSED OF.
00:10:01.60\00:10:03.97
IT WAS AN IMPOSSIBILITY
- THE DNA DID NOT MATCH.
00:10:04.00\00:10:06.37
HE'D ALWAYS SAID HE WAS
NOT GUILTY AND THEY SAID, 'WELL
00:10:06.40\00:10:08.27
HOW DID HE GET CONDEMNED?'
WELL, THERE WAS A WITNESS.
00:10:08.30\00:10:12.21
AND THEY GO BACK TO THE
WITNESS AND THEY CONFRONT THEM
00:10:12.24\00:10:15.78
WITH THE EVIDENCE, 'WELL,
I THOUGHT IT MAYBE WAS THEM.
00:10:15.81\00:10:19.91
I THOUGHT IT LOOKED
LIKE THEM. I DON'T REMEMBER.
00:10:19.95\00:10:21.38
IT'S KIND OF FUZZY NOW.' AND
THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING TO THE
00:10:21.42\00:10:23.18
FALSE WITNESS.
THEY KIND OF SHRUG.
00:10:23.22\00:10:27.52
BUT IF FALSE WITNESSES ENDED
UP GETTING THE PENALTY THAT
00:10:27.56\00:10:32.43
THEY'RE ACCUSING THE OTHER
PERSON OF BEING GUILTY OF, I
00:10:32.46\00:10:34.93
THINK PEOPLE WOULD BE A LOT MORE
CAREFUL WITH THEIR TESTIMONY.
00:10:34.96\00:10:38.60
IN BIBLE TIMES THAT
WAS WHAT THE PENALTY SAID.
00:10:38.63\00:10:41.10
PROVERBS 19:5, "A FALSE
WITNESS WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED,
00:10:41.14\00:10:46.84
AND HE WHO SPEAKS LIES
WILL NOT ESCAPE." A PERSON MIGHT
00:10:46.88\00:10:51.81
THINK, 'WELL, I GOT AWAY
WITH IT.' BUT YOU NEVER DO.
00:10:51.85\00:10:57.12
A FALSE WITNESS WILL BE
PUNISHED. IF NOT IN THIS LIFE -
00:10:57.15\00:11:01.32
AND USUALLY IN THIS
LIFE IT CATCHES UP WITH THEM.
00:11:01.36\00:11:04.13
EVEN IF OTHERS DON'T KNOW,
GOD HAS A WAY OF EVENING THE
00:11:04.16\00:11:07.30
SCORE WITHOUT THE COURTS EVER
FINDING OUT THAT GOD EVENED THE
00:11:07.30\00:11:10.50
SCORE. YOU NEVER, EVER GET AWAY
00:11:10.53\00:11:14.27
WITH ANYTHING,
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:11:14.30\00:11:16.50
YOU MAY AS WELL LIVE HOLY
LIVES BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU NOW
00:11:16.54\00:11:18.41
YOU DON'T GET
AWAY WITH ANYTHING.
00:11:18.44\00:11:20.58
YOUR SIN WILL SURELY FIND
YOU OUT - WHATEVER IT IS -
00:11:20.61\00:11:23.14
YOU BETTER CONFESS AND REPENT OF
IT BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS GOING
00:11:23.18\00:11:27.25
TO GET EVENED UP.
GOD WILL SEE TO THAT.
00:11:27.28\00:11:31.25
THE BIBLE SAYS 'THE TRUTH
WILL SET YOU FREE' AND IF THE
00:11:31.29\00:11:34.59
TRUTH SETS YOU FREE THEN IT
STANDS TO REASON LYING WILL BIND
00:11:34.62\00:11:39.06
YOU. A MAN IS HOLDEN
WITH THE CORDS OF THEIR SINS.
00:11:39.09\00:11:43.03
AND YOU KNOW HOW WHEN YOU
TELL ONE LIE YOU'VE GOT TO THEN
00:11:43.06\00:11:44.90
TELL ANOTHER AND ANOTHER TO
TRY AND COVER YOUR TRACKS AND IT
00:11:44.93\00:11:47.84
JUST GETS WORSE AND
WORSE. LYING WILL IMPRISON YOU.
00:11:47.87\00:11:54.94
THE TRUTH WILL LIBERATE
YOU. NOW IT'S NOT JUST - PEOPLE
00:11:54.98\00:11:59.31
SAY, 'WELL, YOU KNOW, IT
DOESN'T REALLY SAY IN THE TEN
00:11:59.35\00:12:00.82
COMMANDMENTS 'DON'T
LIE' IS JUST SAYS 'DON'T BEAR
00:12:00.85\00:12:03.59
FALSE WITNESS AGAINST YOUR
NEIGHBOR.' WELL, YOU CAN READ
00:12:03.62\00:12:05.82
PLENTY OF OTHER PLACES IN
THE BIBLE IT SAYS 'DO NOT LIE'.
00:12:05.85\00:12:09.32
AND SO, IT WAS CERTAINLY
PART OF THAT COMMANDMENT.
00:12:09.36\00:12:12.43
LYING IS A SIN.
NOW WE NEED TO MAKE A
00:12:12.46\00:12:15.76
DISTINCTION - IF A
PERSON SAYS SOMETHING THAT ISN'T
00:12:15.80\00:12:18.40
TRUE, IT ISN'T
ALWAYS A LIE. 'WHAT?
00:12:18.43\00:12:23.04
DID I HEAR THE PASTOR SAY THAT?'
00:12:23.07\00:12:25.54
IF A PERSON SAYS SOMETHING
THAT ISN'T TRUE, IT ISN'T ALWAYS
00:12:25.57\00:12:28.08
A LIE IF THEY'RE JUST
IGNORANT AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW.
00:12:28.11\00:12:31.88
THERE ARE SOMETIMES STATEMENTS
I HAVE MADE WHERE I THOUGHT IT
00:12:31.91\00:12:34.65
WAS THE TRUTH - I LATER
FOUND OUT I HAD BAD EVIDENCE.
00:12:34.68\00:12:38.15
THAT'S NOT A LIE. YOU
UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:12:38.19\00:12:40.56
SOME PEOPLE JUST ARE IGNORANT
OF THE FACTS AND YOU'VE ALL MET
00:12:40.59\00:12:44.76
FOLKS THAT HAVE SAID
SOMETHING AND THEY MAY HAVE BEEN
00:12:44.79\00:12:46.63
VERY SINCERE BUT THEY JUST
DIDN'T KNOW ALL THE FACTS AND
00:12:46.66\00:12:48.96
THEY WEREN'T LYING, THEY
WERE JUST SPEAKING AN UNTRUTH OR
00:12:49.00\00:12:53.00
MISINFORMED OR THEY MISSPOKE
OR WHATEVER TERM YOU WANT.
00:12:53.03\00:12:56.34
LYING IS 'TO PRESENT
FALSE INFORMATION WITH THE
00:12:56.37\00:13:00.31
INTENTION OF DECEIVING' - OR
GETTING ELECTED TO PUBLIC OFFICE
00:13:00.34\00:13:05.38
- OH, I THREW THAT IN BUT
WE KNOW THERE IS A CONNECTION.
00:13:05.41\00:13:10.02
SIN FIRST ENTERED
THE WORLD THROUGH A LIE.
00:13:10.05\00:13:15.02
THE DEVIL SAID TO EVE -
GENESIS 3:4, "YOU WILL NOT
00:13:15.06\00:13:18.36
SURELY DIE." 'GOD'S NOT GIVING
YOU ALL THE FACTS.' HE SPOKE A
00:13:18.39\00:13:22.20
LIE FOR THE PURPOSE OF
DECEIVING AND IT WORKED.
00:13:22.23\00:13:26.13
AND HE OUGHT TO KNOW WHAT
HE'S TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE JESUS
00:13:26.17\00:13:28.50
SAID THE DEVIL IS
THE FOUNDER OF LIES.
00:13:28.54\00:13:33.14
JOHN 8:44, HE SAID, "YOU ARE
OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, AND
00:13:33.17\00:13:37.51
THE DESIRES OF YOUR FATHER YOU
WANT TO DO...WHEN HE SPEAKS A
00:13:37.55\00:13:41.85
LIE HE SPEAKS FROM HIS OWN
RESOURCES," - HE'S GOT A PATENT
00:13:41.88\00:13:44.69
ON IT - "FOR HE IS A LIAR AND
THE FATHER OF IT." AND SO, JUST
00:13:44.72\00:13:49.86
SO WE'RE NOT CONFUSED, JESUS IS
THE TRUTH - HE'S THE EMBODIMENT
00:13:49.89\00:13:54.40
OF THE TRUTH. THE DEVIL IS THE
00:13:54.46\00:13:56.16
EMBODIMENT OF A LIE.
DOES THAT MEAN THE DEVIL
00:13:56.20\00:13:58.33
CAN NEVER TELL THE TRUTH?
NO - YES - IN THAT HE WILL
00:13:58.37\00:14:07.01
COMINGLE TRUTH WITH HIS
LIES, BUT WHEN YOU MIX TRUTH
00:14:07.04\00:14:11.11
WITH LIES WHAT DO
YOU HAVE? YOU HAVE LIES.
00:14:11.15\00:14:14.35
EVERYTHING THE DEVIL SAYS,
EVEN WHEN HE MINGLES TRUTH WITH
00:14:14.38\00:14:17.62
LIES IS ULTIMATELY FOR
DECEPTION, WHICH MAKES IT A LIE,
00:14:17.65\00:14:20.99
BUT THAT'S WHEN LIES
ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS.
00:14:21.02\00:14:24.19
AND THE FBI, YOU KNOW,
THEY STUDY THESE THINGS AND
00:14:24.23\00:14:28.83
CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE -
THEY DO IT FOR INTERVIEWS FOR
00:14:28.86\00:14:30.67
INTERROGATIONS AND THEY SAY THAT
THE MOST CONVINCING LIARS AND
00:14:30.70\00:14:36.24
THE HARDEST TO SPOT ARE THE ONES
THAT WILL TELL THE TRUTH IN SO
00:14:36.27\00:14:39.91
MANY OTHER AREAS WITH A LIE IN
ONE SPOT SO THAT WHEN YOU CHECK
00:14:39.94\00:14:43.58
THEIR STORY - YOU KNOW, BAD
LIARS TELL LIES ABOUT THINGS
00:14:43.61\00:14:46.61
THEY SHOULDN'T LIE
ABOUT - THEY'RE EASILY CAUGHT.
00:14:46.65\00:14:49.85
I SHOULDN'T SAY BAD
LIARS BECAUSE ALL LIARS ARE BAD
00:14:49.88\00:14:52.65
- UNSKILLED LIARS.
POLICE CAN EASILY CATCH THEM -
00:14:52.69\00:14:59.86
PULL SOMEONE OVER -
'WHY WERE YOU SPEEDING?'
00:14:59.89\00:15:01.56
'I'M ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL
BECAUSE MY WIFE'S HAVING
00:15:01.60\00:15:04.17
A BABY.' 'WHICH
HOSPITAL?' 'UHHH, THE BIG ONE.'
00:15:04.20\00:15:09.57
'WHAT'S YOUR WIFE'S NAME?'
'UH, UH.' HIGHWAY PATROLMEN
00:15:09.60\00:15:14.41
ARE TRAINED TO ASK A
FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS.
00:15:14.44\00:15:16.54
IF A PERSON HAS A GOOD REASON
FOR SPEEDING, THEY CAN ASK A FEW
00:15:16.58\00:15:19.28
SIMPLE QUESTIONS AND FIND OUT
RIGHT AWAY IF THEY'RE TELLING
00:15:19.31\00:15:21.62
THE TRUTH. I WAS SPEEDING
ON MY WAY BACK FROM A FUNERAL.
00:15:21.65\00:15:26.59
NOW, I DIDN'T TELL THE
OFFICER THAT I HAD AN EXCUSE FOR
00:15:26.62\00:15:29.06
SPEEDING, WHAT I TOLD HIM
WAS, 'CAN YOU HAVE MERCY ON ME?
00:15:29.09\00:15:32.49
I'VE HAD A ROUGH DAY. I
HAD TO DRIVE A LONG WAY.
00:15:32.53\00:15:35.03
ONE OF MY DEAR FRIENDS DIED
AND I'VE GOT TO GET BACK FOR
00:15:35.06\00:15:39.00
SOME RESPONSIBILITIES AND I'M
SORRY.' HE SAID, 'WHAT WAS YOUR
00:15:39.03\00:15:42.74
FRIEND'S NAME?'
'BOB.' 'HOW OLD WAS HE?'
00:15:42.77\00:15:46.17
'45.' 'HOW DID HE DIE?'
AND HE STARTED TO GRILL ME
00:15:46.21\00:15:49.71
WITH ALL THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT
MY FRIEND AND HIS FUNERAL TO
00:15:49.74\00:15:52.48
SEE IF I WAS MAKING UP A STORY
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T - HE THOUGHT,
00:15:52.51\00:15:54.72
'IF YOU ARE COMING FROM A
FUNERAL, I DON'T WANT TO MAKE
00:15:54.75\00:15:56.52
YOUR DAY ANY WORSE.' AND HE
SAW I'M DRESSED LIKE I JUST CAME
00:15:56.55\00:16:00.99
FROM A FUNERAL,
AND HE LET ME GO.
00:16:01.02\00:16:03.12
BUT HE WAS CHECKING MY
STORY AND WHAT REALLY MAKES IT
00:16:03.16\00:16:08.00
DANGEROUS IS WHEN YOU CAN MIX
A LOT OF TRUTH WITH THE LIES,
00:16:08.03\00:16:13.37
THEY'RE HARD TO SPOT. THE
DEVIL IS A MASTER AT THAT.
00:16:13.40\00:16:17.81
THERE'S A LOT OF - HOW
MANY DIFFERENT CHRISTIAN
00:16:17.84\00:16:19.71
CHURCHES ARE THERE OUT THERE?
00:16:19.74\00:16:21.11
HOW MANY
DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS?
00:16:21.14\00:16:23.01
DO THEY ALL HAVE
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF TRUTH?
00:16:23.04\00:16:25.38
THEY'VE GOT - OH, THEY'VE
GOT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEM HAVE
00:16:25.41\00:16:27.72
A LOT OF TRUE THINGS BUT YOU
MIX IN - THERE'S SOME - A FEW
00:16:27.75\00:16:32.72
DANGEROUS DOCTRINES MIXED
IN, THAT MAKES IT ESPECIALLY
00:16:32.75\00:16:35.72
LETHAL. AND IN THE LAST DAYS
WILL THOSE WHO ARE PERSECUTING
00:16:35.76\00:16:41.46
CHRISTIANS THINK
THAT THEY'RE SERVING GOD?
00:16:41.50\00:16:44.77
YEAH, BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE
TRUTH MIXED IN WITH THE ERROR.
00:16:44.80\00:16:48.00
PROVERBS 6, VERSE 16, "THESE
SIX THINGS THE LORD HATES," -
00:16:48.04\00:16:53.01
YOU KNOW THAT
LIST OF SEVEN THINGS?
00:16:53.04\00:16:55.34
- "YES, SEVEN ARE AN
ABOMINATION TO HIM:" - NOW
00:16:55.38\00:16:58.28
NOTICE, IN THE LIST OF THINGS
THAT GOD ESPECIALLY HATES - IT
00:16:58.31\00:17:02.72
SAYS HERE - "A PROUD LOOK, A
LYING TONGUE, HANDS THAT SHED
00:17:02.75\00:17:08.02
INNOCENT BLOOD, A HEART THAT
DEVISES WICKED PLANS, FEET THAT
00:17:08.06\00:17:12.26
ARE SWIFT IN RUNNING TO EVIL,
A FALSE WITNESS WHO SPEAKS LIES,
00:17:12.29\00:17:17.23
AND ONE WHO SOWS
DISCORD AMONG BRETHREN."
00:17:17.27\00:17:19.83
THREE OUT OF THE SEVEN ARE
CONNECTED WITH DECEPTION AND
00:17:19.87\00:17:23.97
LYING - OF THE
THINGS THAT GOD HATES.
00:17:24.01\00:17:28.08
HE DOESN'T JUST
DISLIKE INTENSELY, HE HATES IT.
00:17:28.11\00:17:32.71
HE WANTS US TO BE A PEOPLE
WHO ARE TELLING THE TRUTH.
00:17:32.75\00:17:37.72
YOU KNOW, IF CHRISTIANS ARE
NOT IDENTIFIED AS A PEOPLE WHO
00:17:37.75\00:17:39.75
ARE HONEST - I HEARD A MAN
WAS SHARING THAT HE WAS BUYING
00:17:39.79\00:17:50.27
SOMETHING - HE WAS GOING TO
BUY A VEHICLE AND HE PULLED OUT
00:17:50.30\00:17:53.54
A CHECK - AND THE MAN SELLING
THE VEHICLE SAID, 'I NEED A
00:17:53.57\00:17:59.74
CASHIER'S CHECK, I CAN'T TAKE
A PERSONAL CHECK.' AND THE MAN
00:17:59.77\00:18:04.88
BUYING THE VEHICLE SAID,
'I'M A PASTOR.' HE SAID, 'I LIVE
00:18:04.91\00:18:07.75
LOCALLY.' HE SAID, 'THAT'S ALL
THE MORE REASON - ALL THE MORE
00:18:07.78\00:18:13.22
REASON I NEED CASH.' HE SAID,
'I'VE NOT HAD GOOD EXPERIENCE
00:18:13.25\00:18:16.86
WITH YOU CHRISTIANS.
I'VE BEEN CHEATED MANY TIMES.
00:18:16.89\00:18:20.70
I'VE BEEN LIED TO.' HE
SAID, 'THAT'S ALL THE MORE
00:18:20.73\00:18:23.20
REASON.' THE PASTOR HAD TO DROP
WHAT HE WAS DOING AND GO FIND AN
00:18:23.23\00:18:27.60
ATM AND TRY AND
GET THE MONEY OUT.
00:18:27.64\00:18:29.70
HE CAME BACK AND SAID,
'I'M SORRY BUT THAT'S JUST THE
00:18:29.74\00:18:31.11
WAY IT IS.' SO WHEN IT SAYS THAT
BELIEVERS SHOULD NOT BEAR FALSE
00:18:31.14\00:18:36.41
TESTIMONY, DOES THAT JUST MEAN
THAT WE'RE NOT TO TELL LIES OR
00:18:36.44\00:18:41.32
DOES THAT ALSO
MEAN WITH OUR LIVES?
00:18:41.35\00:18:43.55
AREN'T WE BEARING TESTIMONY
WITH OUR LIVES AS WELL?
00:18:43.59\00:18:47.29
LIVING TRUTH FOR
JESUS? PROVERBS 12:19, "THE
00:18:47.32\00:18:52.39
TRUTHFUL LIP SHALL BE
ESTABLISHED FOREVER," - YOU SEE,
00:18:52.43\00:18:56.00
THIS COMMANDMENT IS NOT JUST
SAYING DON'T LIE, IT'S A PROMISE
00:18:56.03\00:18:58.60
THAT LYING - MAKE
YOUR LIFE SHORT - HONESTY -
00:18:58.63\00:19:04.17
MAKE YOUR LIFE LONG. SEE THAT?
00:19:04.21\00:19:07.94
- "THE TRUTHFUL LIP SHALL
BE ESTABLISHED FOREVER, BUT A
00:19:07.98\00:19:10.95
LYING TONGUE IS BUT FOR
A MOMENT." TURN WITH ME, TO
00:19:10.98\00:19:13.38
FURTHER
ILLUSTRATE THIS, TO PSALM 15.
00:19:13.42\00:19:16.45
THIS IS A GREAT
PSALM. YOU COULD PROBABLY
00:19:16.48\00:19:18.19
MEMORIZE THIS, IT'S SHORT.
PSALM 15 - YOU GOT YOUR BIBLES?
00:19:18.22\00:19:21.46
I DON'T PUT ALL THESE ON
THE SCREEN BECAUSE I STARTED
00:19:21.49\00:19:23.99
DOING THAT FOR A WHILE AND I
THOUGHT, 'YOU'RE GOING TO GET
00:19:24.03\00:19:25.59
LAZY.' I WANT YOU
TO USE YOUR BIBLES.
00:19:25.63\00:19:30.20
"LORD, WHO MAY
ABIDE IN YOUR TABERNACLE?
00:19:30.23\00:19:32.27
WHO MAY DWELL
IN YOUR HOLY HILL?"
00:19:32.30\00:19:35.17
WHO'S GOING TO
LIVE IN GOD'S HOLY HILL?
00:19:35.20\00:19:37.07
WHO'S GOING TO BE
DWELLING WITH GOD IN HEAVEN?
00:19:37.11\00:19:39.97
"HE WHO WALKS UPRIGHTLY,
AND WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS," -
00:19:40.01\00:19:43.14
NOTICE THIS - NOTICE - "AND
SPEAKS THE TRUTH IN HIS HEART;"
00:19:43.18\00:19:48.18
- IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
HONESTY IN YOUR WORDS, WHERE
00:19:48.22\00:19:50.09
DOES IT START?
'OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF
00:19:50.12\00:19:52.25
THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS.'
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE AN HONEST
00:19:52.29\00:19:55.42
HEART IF YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE A TRUTHFUL TONGUE.
00:19:55.46\00:19:57.76
"SPEAKS THE TRUTH IN HIS
HEART; WHO DOES NOT BACKBITE
00:19:57.79\00:20:01.16
WITH HIS TONGUE," - THERE'S
TWO THINGS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH
00:20:01.20\00:20:03.47
TRUTH - "NOR DOES EVIL TO HIS
NEIGHBOR, NOR DOES HE TAKE UP A
00:20:03.50\00:20:07.17
REPROACH AGAINST HIS FRIEND;" -
A REPROACH IS VERBAL - HE'S NOT
00:20:07.20\00:20:11.11
ACCUSING - "IN WHOSE EYES A
VILE PERSON IS DESPISED, BUT HE
00:20:11.14\00:20:15.14
HONORS THOSE WHO FEAR THE
LORD; HE WHO SWEARS TO HIS OWN
00:20:15.18\00:20:18.35
HURT AND DOES NOT CHANGE;" -
HE MAKES A VOW AND HE KEEPS IT.
00:20:18.38\00:20:21.85
HE KEEPS WHAT HE SPEAKS WITH
HIS LIPS - "HE WHO DOES NOT PUT
00:20:21.88\00:20:24.69
OUT HIS MONEY AT USURY, NOR
DOES HE TAKE A BRIBE AGAINST THE
00:20:24.72\00:20:27.36
INNOCENT. HE WHO
DOES THESE THINGS WILL
00:20:27.39\00:20:29.66
NEVER BE MOVED."
WHO WILL LAST FOREVER?
00:20:29.69\00:20:32.93
HE THAT SPEAKS THE
TRUTH. WE'VE GOT TO BE HONEST
00:20:32.96\00:20:37.40
ABOUT BEING HONEST.
GOD WANTS HIS PEOPLE TO BE
00:20:37.43\00:20:40.67
A PEOPLE WHO ARE - CAN BE
TRUSTED - WHO HAVE INTEGRITY.
00:20:40.70\00:20:45.57
PROVERBS 19:22, "WHAT IS
DESIRED IN A MAN IS KINDNESS,
00:20:45.61\00:20:50.98
AND A POOR MAN IS BETTER THAN
A LIAR." IF YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE
00:20:51.01\00:20:55.38
BETWEEN BEING RICH AND DECEPTIVE
AND POOR BUT HONEST, WHAT'S
00:20:55.42\00:20:59.15
BETTER? BUT SOME
PEOPLE HAVE TRADED
00:20:59.19\00:21:02.56
THEIR INTEGRITY FOR MONEY.
AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST -
00:21:02.59\00:21:10.93
THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE
- EVEN IN LITTLE THINGS.
00:21:10.97\00:21:19.24
I REMEMBER - YOU KNOW, KIDS
- EVEN THOUGH I GREW UP WITH
00:21:19.27\00:21:22.51
REALLY ALMOST NO
RELIGIOUS TRAINING - I MEAN, I
00:21:22.54\00:21:25.28
WENT TO A CATHOLIC SCHOOL
WHERE I REMEMBER LEARNING THE
00:21:25.31\00:21:27.22
BEATITUDES AND I HAD HEARD THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS GOING TO JEWISH
00:21:27.25\00:21:30.55
SYNAGOGUE AND - BUT I REMEMBER
STANDING IN THE THEATER MORE
00:21:30.59\00:21:34.86
THAN ONE TIME WITH MY MOTHER AND
THERE WERE DIFFERENT PRICES FOR
00:21:34.89\00:21:38.43
THE CHILDREN AND
SHE'D LIE ABOUT OUR AGES.
00:21:38.46\00:21:42.10
NOW IT WAS EASIER WITH MY
BROTHER BECAUSE HE HAD CYSTIC
00:21:42.13\00:21:43.87
FIBROSIS - HE WAS SHORT AND
SO MY BROTHER WAS LIKE 16 YEARS
00:21:43.90\00:21:48.67
OLD AND SHE WAS STILL TELLING
PEOPLE HE WAS 11 SO SHE COULD
00:21:48.70\00:21:52.34
SAVE A FEW DOLLARS. AND
I JUST - I ALWAYS THOUGHT,
00:21:52.37\00:21:55.21
'THIS IS WRONG.' EVEN THOUGH I
HAD NO REAL MORAL COMPUNCTIONS,
00:21:55.24\00:21:58.11
I JUST KNEW THIS WAS WRONG.
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF LITTLE
00:21:58.15\00:22:02.32
WAYS WHERE WE FUDGE AND LIE AND
BEND THE TRUTH AND MODIFY THINGS
00:22:02.35\00:22:07.46
AND JUST TELL HALF-TRUTHS
TO TRY AND GET SOME ADVANTAGE.
00:22:07.49\00:22:14.73
PROVERBS 12:22, "LYING LIPS
ARE AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD,"
00:22:14.73\00:22:19.40
- THOSE ARE THINGS THAT
GOD HATES - "BUT THOSE WHO DEAL
00:22:19.43\00:22:22.30
TRUTHFULLY ARE HIS DELIGHT." NOW
LOOK AT THE CONTRAST THERE - IN
00:22:22.34\00:22:27.51
ONE IT'S VIEWED AS
AN ABOMINATION WITH GOD.
00:22:27.54\00:22:30.25
TRY TO FIND - I CHALLENGE YOU
- I BET YOU CAN'T DO IT - TRY TO
00:22:30.28\00:22:34.12
FIND SOME WORD IN THE BIBLE
THAT GOD USES THAT'S STRONGER TO
00:22:34.15\00:22:38.12
EXPRESS HIS DISSATISFACTION
THAN 'ABOMINATION'.
00:22:38.15\00:22:42.16
THAT MEANS IT IS A STENCH
IN THE NOSTRILS OF GOD - BUT
00:22:42.19\00:22:47.50
TRUTHFULNESS IS A
DELIGHT. THE LORD LOVES TRUTH.
00:22:47.50\00:22:51.13
HE LOOKS FOR TRUTH IN THE
INNER PARTS OF OUR HEARTS.
00:22:51.17\00:22:54.70
BUT EVEN AMONG CHRISTIANS,
SOME PEOPLE ARE BILINGUAL.
00:22:54.74\00:22:58.81
THEY CAN TELL THE TRUTH
AND THEY CAN ALSO TELL LIES
00:22:58.84\00:23:01.91
AND THEY CAN
SWITCH BACK AND FORTH.
00:23:01.94\00:23:03.61
AND IT'S STRANGE HOW SOME
PEOPLE IN MANY AREAS THEY'RE
00:23:03.65\00:23:06.88
HONEST IN THEIR LIVES, BUT
THEN IN SOME AREAS THEY FIGURE A
00:23:06.92\00:23:12.19
LITTLE DECEPTION IS
OKAY. WE CALL IT EXAGGERATION.
00:23:12.22\00:23:18.09
IT'S THE TRUTH, IT'S
JUST EMBELLISHED A LITTLE BIT.
00:23:18.13\00:23:24.03
EVANGELISTS ARE OFTEN
ACCUSED OF THAT, YOU KNOW, LIKE
00:23:24.07\00:23:27.50
FISHERMEN. 'HOW BIG WAS IT?'
00:23:27.54\00:23:29.20
'IT WAS THIS BIG.' ANANIAS
AND SAPPHIRA WERE CHURCH MEMBERS
00:23:29.24\00:23:37.68
THAT SOLD SOME PROPERTY AND
GAVE THE MONEY TO THE CHURCH.
00:23:37.71\00:23:40.42
WHAT I JUST SAID IS TRUE.
THEY SOLD SOME PROPERTY AND
00:23:40.45\00:23:42.22
GAVE THE MONEY TO THE
CHURCH - THAT'S TRUE - AND
00:23:42.25\00:23:44.85
GOD KILLED THEM, WHY?
BECAUSE THEY EXAGGERATED
00:23:44.89\00:23:49.42
HOW MUCH THEY GAVE.
THEY GAVE SOME OF IT.
00:23:49.46\00:23:53.03
THEY WANTED TO MAKE PEOPLE
THINK IT WAS MORE THAT IT REALLY
00:23:53.06\00:23:55.40
WAS. ISN'T THAT
WHAT EXAGGERATION IS?
00:23:55.43\00:23:58.00
SAYING THINGS - AW, COME ON
- YOU KNOW, I HOPE NO ONE WILL
00:23:58.03\00:24:03.14
THINK THAT THERE'S ANY
CONNECTION BETWEEN THIS
00:24:03.17\00:24:05.07
SERMON ON
HONESTY AND FATHER'S DAY.
00:24:05.11\00:24:07.21
I JUST - IT'S JUST THE WAY
THE STARS LINED UP, BUT I KNOW A
00:24:07.24\00:24:10.95
LOT OF MEN THAT HAVE SAT AROUND
THE CAMPFIRE AND EACH ONE TRIES
00:24:10.98\00:24:14.08
TO TOP THE OTHER'S STORY AND
EVERY TIME WE TELL IT, IT GETS
00:24:14.12\00:24:17.22
BETTER AND BETTER.
YOU'RE EVEN SMILING NOW AS
00:24:17.25\00:24:21.09
I SAY THAT BECAUSE YOU
KNOW EXACTLY - SEE WHAT I MEAN?
00:24:21.12\00:24:23.89
'YEAH, UH.' I CAN MAKE IT JUST -
YOU KNOW, A FEW MORE ADJECTIVES.
00:24:23.93\00:24:28.90
IT GETS BIGGER AND
BIGGER. THE PASTOR WHO BAPTIZED
00:24:28.93\00:24:31.80
ME, HE CALLED ME ON
THAT A COUPLE TIMES.
00:24:31.83\00:24:35.34
HE SAID, 'NOW BROTHER
DOUG, YOU'RE NOT GIVEN TO
00:24:35.37\00:24:37.71
EXAGGERATION ARE YOU?'
AND HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW,'
00:24:37.74\00:24:41.88
- AND HE SAID IT IN A
VERY SMILING, FRIENDLY WAY - HE
00:24:41.91\00:24:44.18
SAID, 'EXAGGERATION AND
LYING, THEY'RE VERY CLOSE.
00:24:44.21\00:24:49.05
MATTER OF FACT, THEY'RE THE
SAME THING.' AND SO, SOMETIMES
00:24:49.08\00:24:53.89
I THINK WE SAY, 'OH YEAH, BUT
THESE ARE HONEST PEOPLE BUT, YOU
00:24:53.92\00:24:55.99
KNOW, THEY TELL STORIES AND THEY
JUST - THEY'RE A LITTLE MORE
00:24:56.02\00:24:59.19
EMBELLISHED AND' -
GOD WANTS US TO BE HONEST.
00:24:59.23\00:25:04.30
DO YOU KNOW THE REASON THEY
HAVE SOMETHING CALLED THE 'LIE
00:25:04.33\00:25:07.00
DETECTOR' IS BECAUSE
YOU PHYSIOLOGICALLY HAVE A
00:25:07.04\00:25:10.11
REACTION WHEN YOU LIE,
BUT YOU CAN BE TRAINED NOT TO.
00:25:10.14\00:25:15.51
NORMALLY, IF YOU'RE A
HEALTHY, REGULAR PERSON - UNLESS
00:25:15.54\00:25:19.85
YOU'RE A PSYCHOPATHIC LIAR -
YOU WILL HAVE A PHYSIOLOGICAL
00:25:19.88\00:25:23.75
REACTION TO LYING BECAUSE IT IS
UNNATURAL. GOD DID NOT MAKE US
00:25:23.79\00:25:28.89
TO SPEAK A LIE. HE
DESIGNED US TO SPEAK THE
00:25:28.92\00:25:32.09
TRUTH AND WHEN WE LIE THERE'S
A PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTION.
00:25:32.13\00:25:35.60
NOW PEOPLE CAN BE TRAINED -
THE CIA AND EVEN SOME MILITARY
00:25:35.63\00:25:39.23
BRANCHES, THEY CAN TRAIN A
PERSON TO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR
00:25:39.27\00:25:41.60
TEST AND JUST GO RIGHT
THROUGH IT AND THEY KNOW WHAT
00:25:41.64\00:25:44.57
THE DETECTIVE'S LOOKING FOR
AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY NEED TO
00:25:44.61\00:25:46.57
THINK ABOUT SO THEY DON'T HAVE
THOSE REACTIONS AND THEY CAN
00:25:46.61\00:25:49.41
LOOK LIKE THEY'RE TELLING THE
TRUTH BUT MOST OF THE TIME THOSE
00:25:49.44\00:25:53.01
TESTS ARE PRETTY ACCURATE
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT WIRED BY GOD
00:25:53.05\00:25:57.32
TO LIE. WE LEARN TO BE LIARS.
00:25:57.35\00:26:00.52
AND THE PROBLEM IS
WE LEARN IT VERY YOUNG.
00:26:00.56\00:26:04.49
AND PARENTS - AND I'M GUILTY
OF THIS - SOMETIMES WE DO NOT
00:26:04.53\00:26:09.96
CALL OUR CHILDREN TO BE STRICT
ABOUT ACCURACY WITH THE FACTS.
00:26:10.00\00:26:16.84
AND BECAUSE WE DO NOT HOLD
THEM TO THE FACTS - AND THEY
00:26:16.87\00:26:21.14
SAY, 'OH MAN THERE WERE 20
PEOPLE AT THE DOOR.' AND WE KNOW
00:26:21.18\00:26:24.05
THAT THERE WERE ACTUALLY THREE
AND WE SAY, 'NO, HOW MANY WERE
00:26:24.08\00:26:28.12
THERE?' 'WOW, LIKE 20 PEOPLE.'
'WELL HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE
00:26:28.15\00:26:31.19
THERE?' 'THREE.' AND IF YOU
DON'T CALL THEM ON LITTLE THINGS
00:26:31.22\00:26:35.69
LIKE THAT - AND I KNOW, YOU
MIGHT THINK THAT'S FANATICAL.
00:26:35.72\00:26:39.03
IT GETS EASIER AND EASIER
TO EXAGGERATE AND, YOU KNOW,
00:26:39.06\00:26:41.53
EXAGGERATE
DRIFTS - 'I'M STARVING!'
00:26:41.56\00:26:44.47
'ARE YOU REALLY STARVING?'
'I'M JUST VERY HUNGRY.' 'WELL
00:26:44.50\00:26:49.14
THEN SAY YOU'RE VERY
HUNGRY. HAVE YOU EVER STARVED?'
00:26:49.17\00:26:51.81
'NO.' 'HAVE YOU EVER
GONE A DAY WITHOUT EATING?'
00:26:51.84\00:26:53.54
'NO.' 'YOU'RE NOT STARVING.'
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:26:53.58\00:27:01.02
AND BECAUSE FROM
INFANCY WE'RE PRETTY LAX ABOUT
00:27:01.05\00:27:05.59
EXAGGERATION, IT OPENS THE
WAY TO EVERYTHING ELSE UNDER THE
00:27:05.62\00:27:09.66
SUN. GOD WANTS US TO BE HONEST.
00:27:09.69\00:27:13.76
THEN THERE'S THE SIN OF SLANDER.
00:27:13.80\00:27:16.43
THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE NOT
JUST BEARING FALSE WITNESS, YOU
00:27:16.46\00:27:18.97
MAY NOT BE IN A COURT SETTING,
BUT YOU'RE SAYING UNKIND THINGS
00:27:19.00\00:27:21.90
ABOUT ANOTHER. REPUTATIONS
ARE OFTEN MURDERED WITH WORDS.
00:27:21.94\00:27:28.34
VITRIOLIC TONGUES AND PENS
CAN ASSASSINATE CHARACTERS.
00:27:28.38\00:27:32.71
ONE REASON YOU'RE NOT TO
BEAR FALSE WITNESS IS BECAUSE
00:27:32.75\00:27:34.92
YOU CAN HURT A PERSON'S NAME
AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE MOST
00:27:34.95\00:27:38.39
PRECIOUS THINGS A
PERSON HAS IS THEIR NAME.
00:27:38.42\00:27:40.92
AND SOMETIMES WE
ASSASSINATE, MURDER, AND ATTACK
00:27:40.96\00:27:42.96
PEOPLE'S REPUTATIONS. SO
IMPORTANT IS HUMAN SPEECH
00:27:42.99\00:27:46.39
THAT TWO OUT OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:27:46.43\00:27:47.96
REGULATE THE TONGUE.
REMEMBER THE THIRD COMMANDMENT?
00:27:47.96\00:27:51.37
'DO NOT TAKE THE NAME OF
THE LORD IN VAIN.' AND THEN
00:27:51.40\00:27:53.34
YOU'VE GOT THIS COMMANDMENT: 'DO
NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS.' WE'VE
00:27:53.37\00:27:55.80
GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS SOMETIMES
- THAT SPOT BELOW THE NOSE AND
00:27:55.84\00:27:59.41
ABOVE THE CHIN - YOU KNOW,
GOD CAN BE VERY GENEROUS WHEN IT
00:27:59.44\00:28:03.14
CAME TO GIVING US EYES - GAVE
US TWO EARS, TWO NOSTRILS - BUT
00:28:03.18\00:28:08.02
WHEN IT CAME TO THE TONGUE HE
SAID WE CAN BARELY HANDLE ONE SO
00:28:08.05\00:28:12.22
WE'VE JUST GOT ONE MOUTH BECAUSE
SOMETIMES WE TALK ABOUT THINGS
00:28:12.25\00:28:16.16
WE SHOULDN'T TALK ABOUT.
PROVERBS 10:18, "WHOEVER HIDES
00:28:16.19\00:28:20.86
HATRED HAS LYING LIPS, AND
WHOEVER SPREADS SLANDER IS A
00:28:20.90\00:28:25.13
FOOL." WE HEAR THINGS ABOUT
OTHERS AND WE SPREAD IT AROUND.
00:28:25.17\00:28:30.07
PSALMS 101, VERSE 5,
"WHOEVER SECRETLY SLANDERS HIS
00:28:30.11\00:28:33.31
NEIGHBOR, HIM I WILL DESTROY;"
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD SOME LITTLE
00:28:33.34\00:28:39.31
TIDBIT - JUICY GOSSIP ABOUT
SOMEBODY - YOU HAVE NO FACTS TO
00:28:39.35\00:28:42.72
PROVE IT'S TRUE BUT IT'S
INTERESTING IN HEARING AND IT'S
00:28:42.75\00:28:45.85
INTERESTING IN
TELLING SO YOU PASS IT ON.
00:28:45.89\00:28:50.89
HOW DOES THE
LORD FEEL ABOUT THAT?
00:28:50.93\00:28:53.40
'HIM I WILL DESTROY.' GOSSIP
IS SERIOUS BUSINESS WITH GOD.
00:28:53.43\00:28:58.97
PROVERBS 11:13, "A
TALEBEARER REVEALS SECRETS, BUT
00:28:59.00\00:29:02.70
HE WHO IS OF A FAITHFUL SPIRIT
CONCEALS A MATTER." THEY SAY IF
00:29:02.74\00:29:07.08
ANY TWO PEOPLE KNOW A
SECRET IT'S NOT A SECRET ANYMORE
00:29:07.11\00:29:10.25
BECAUSE OF HUMAN NATURE.
CAN'T WAIT TO TELL - YOU'VE GOT
00:29:10.28\00:29:12.61
INSIDE INFORMATION -
BECAUSE THAT'S POWER WHEN YOU'VE
00:29:12.65\00:29:15.25
GOT INSIDE INFORMATION.
'I'M THE GO-TO PERSON.
00:29:15.28\00:29:18.05
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S REALLY
GOING ON? I'VE GOT THE SCOOP.'
00:29:18.09\00:29:22.22
MY MOTHER WAS A
FILM CRITIC IN HOLLYWOOD.
00:29:22.26\00:29:24.36
DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF
A DOG-EAT-DOG WORLD THAT IS?
00:29:24.39\00:29:27.13
AND SHE HAD ALL THESE
RELATIONSHIPS WITH ALL
00:29:27.20\00:29:29.00
THESE PEOPLE AND SHE
WOULD TRADE INFORMATION.
00:29:29.03\00:29:31.33
IT WAS CURRENCY - TO FIND OUT
ALL THE JUICY TIDBITS AND PEOPLE
00:29:31.37\00:29:34.90
WANTED TO HEAR
IT. IT'S SORT OF A
00:29:34.94\00:29:37.71
RUTHLESS BUSINESS.
BUT IT'S SLIMY AND PEOPLE
00:29:37.74\00:29:43.91
JUST WANT TO KNOW
'WHAT'S THE LATEST SCANDAL?'
00:29:43.95\00:29:46.61
AND WHAT BIT OF JUICY GOSSIP?
AND WE MAY NOT BE LIVING IN
00:29:46.65\00:29:49.08
THE WORLD OF HOLLYWOOD, BUT IT
STILL HAPPENS IN THE CHURCH TOO.
00:29:49.12\00:29:52.85
TRADING INFORMATION -
THE CURRENCY OF POWER - WHAT
00:29:52.89\00:29:57.66
YOU KNOW AND WHAT YOU
CAN TELL ABOUT SOMEBODY ELSE.
00:29:57.69\00:30:01.90
AND EVERY CHURCH HAS A
GABRIELLA GOSSIP OR TWO.
00:30:01.93\00:30:07.54
AND THERE MIGHT BE A GEORGE
GOSSIP - THAT WASN'T A SLAM
00:30:07.57\00:30:11.71
AGAINST JUST THE WOMEN.
MATTER OF FACT, I'VE HAD
00:30:11.74\00:30:15.34
SOME CHURCHES I'VE PASTORED
WHERE, IF I HAD SOME INFORMATION
00:30:15.38\00:30:17.91
I NEEDED TO GET OUT, I KNEW JUST
WHO TO CALL AND SAY, 'MAKE SURE
00:30:17.95\00:30:21.25
YOU DON'T TELL ANYBODY.'
AND THEN I KNEW IT WAS GOING
00:30:21.28\00:30:25.89
TO GO TO EVERYBODY. IT
WAS A ONE-MAN CALLING TREE.
00:30:25.92\00:30:34.03
THE SIN OF SLANDER -
PROVERBS 18:8, "THE WORDS OF A
00:30:34.10\00:30:37.80
TALEBEARER ARE LIKE TASTY
TRIFLES, AND THEY GO DOWN INTO
00:30:37.83\00:30:40.94
THE INMOST BELLY." SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT BIT OF GOSSIP THAT
00:30:40.97\00:30:44.24
IT'S JUST LIKE SOME
KIND OF FORBIDDEN DESSERT.
00:30:44.27\00:30:48.04
LEVITICUS 19:16, "YOU
SHALL NOT GO ABOUT" - THIS IS A
00:30:48.08\00:30:51.51
COMMAND - THOU SHALL NOT - "GO
ABOUT AS A TALEBEARER AMONG YOUR
00:30:51.55\00:30:56.02
PEOPLE." LOOSE TRANSLATION -
DO NOT BE A GOSSIP - NO, IT'S
00:30:56.05\00:31:02.99
ACTUALLY 'THOU SHALT
NOT GOSSIP.' BUT WE DO.
00:31:03.02\00:31:11.07
AND, BOY, THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT WE ALL NEED TO PRAY ABOUT.
00:31:11.10\00:31:17.27
SOMETIMES I'VE HEARD A
LOT OF GOSSIP THAT HAS BEEN
00:31:17.31\00:31:20.14
DISGUISED AS A PRAYER REQUEST.
'YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING
00:31:20.18\00:31:24.38
I NEED TO TELL YOU SO YOU CAN
PRAY ABOUT IT.' AND IT'S LIKE WE
00:31:24.41\00:31:28.05
SAY 'SO YOU CAN PRAY ABOUT IT'
THAT SORT OF PAVES THE WAY FOR
00:31:28.08\00:31:30.42
YOU TO TELL ABOUT
TERRIBLE THINGS GOING ON.
00:31:30.45\00:31:32.99
'YOU NEED TO PRAY FOR
THIS FAMILY. DID YOU KNOW?'
00:31:33.02\00:31:35.39
AND THEN THEY BEGIN TO
GOSSIP AND THERE'S VERY LITTLE
00:31:35.42\00:31:39.33
PRAYING THAT GOES ON BUT THERE'S
ALL KINDS OF MENTAL MASTICATION
00:31:39.36\00:31:43.23
OF THE JUICY
TIDBITS. BETTER TO BE SILENT.
00:31:43.26\00:31:50.57
BY THE WAY, TELL THE
TRUTH ALWAYS, BUT DON'T ALWAYS
00:31:50.61\00:31:54.44
BE TELLING IT. GOD
ALWAYS WANTS US TO TELL
00:31:54.48\00:31:58.71
THE TRUTH BUT WE DON'T
ALWAYS HAVE TO BE TELLING
00:31:58.75\00:32:01.72
EVERYTHING THAT YOU
KNOW. SOMETIMES A GOOD PART OF
00:32:01.75\00:32:08.19
CHRISTIANITY IS TO NOT
SPEAK EVERYTHING YOU KNOW.
00:32:08.22\00:32:11.59
EVEN JESUS SAID TO THE
APOSTLES, 'I HAVE MANY THINGS TO
00:32:11.63\00:32:13.76
TELL YOU NOW BUT YOU CAN'T
HANDLE IT.' AND HE DIDN'T TELL
00:32:13.80\00:32:15.70
THEM. AT HIS OWN
TRIAL, JESUS HAD A
00:32:15.73\00:32:19.93
LOT OF THINGS HE COULD HAVE
SAID BUT HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
00:32:19.97\00:32:23.44
SOMETIMES WE NEED TO KNOW
WHEN TO JUST NOT SAY ANYTHING.
00:32:23.47\00:32:26.57
HAVE YOU READ THERE IN - GO
WITH ME - THIS ISN'T IN MY NOTES
00:32:26.61\00:32:30.41
BUT IT JUST KIND OF CAME TO
ME NOW - I HOPE IT'S THE LORD.
00:32:30.45\00:32:32.78
GO WITH ME TO
ECCLESIASTES CHAPTER 5 - WHILE
00:32:32.81\00:32:35.92
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SUBJECT
OF THE TONGUE - VERSE 1, -
00:32:35.95\00:32:39.09
ECCLESIASTES 5, VERSE 1, "WALK
PRUDENTLY WHEN YOU GO TO THE
00:32:39.12\00:32:42.49
HOUSE OF GOD; AND DRAW NEAR
TO HEAR RATHER THAN TO GIVE THE
00:32:42.52\00:32:47.60
SACRIFICE OF FOOLS," - OPPOSITE
OF HEARING IS SPEAKING - THAT'S
00:32:47.66\00:32:51.40
THE SACRIFICE OF FOOLS - "FOR
THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT THEY DO
00:32:51.43\00:32:53.70
EVIL. DO NOT BE RASH WITH YOUR
00:32:53.74\00:32:55.44
MOUTH," - IT DOESN'T SAY DON'T
EVER SPEAK ANYTHING, BUT DON'T
00:32:55.47\00:32:58.17
DO IT RASHLY - THINK BEFORE YOU
SPEAK - "AND LET NOT YOUR HEART
00:32:58.21\00:33:02.54
UTTER ANYTHING
HASTILY BEFORE GOD.
00:33:02.58\00:33:05.91
FOR GOD IS IN HEAVEN, AND
YOU ON EARTH; THEREFORE LET YOUR
00:33:05.95\00:33:08.55
WORDS BE FEW." HE - WE'LL GIVE
AN ACCOUNT TO GOD FOR EVERY IDLE
00:33:08.58\00:33:12.49
WORD WE SPEAK. ISN'T
THAT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
00:33:12.52\00:33:16.29
- "FOR A DREAM COMES
THROUGH MUCH ACTIVITY AND A
00:33:16.32\00:33:18.29
FOOL'S VOICE IS
KNOWN FOR HIS MANY WORDS.
00:33:18.33\00:33:21.46
WHEN YOU MAKE A VOW TO
GOD, DO NOT DELAY TO PAY IT;" -
00:33:21.50\00:33:24.93
THERE AGAIN, WORDS - BEING
HONEST - "FOR HE HAS NO PLEASURE
00:33:24.97\00:33:28.24
IN FOOLS. PAY WHAT
YOU HAVE VOWED - BETTER
00:33:28.27\00:33:30.57
NOT TO VOW THAN
TO VOW AND NOT PAY.
00:33:30.61\00:33:34.04
DO NOT LET YOUR MOUTH
CAUSE YOUR FLESH TO SIN, NOR SAY
00:33:34.08\00:33:37.55
BEFORE THE MESSENGER OF
GOD THAT IT WAS AN ERROR.
00:33:37.58\00:33:40.02
WHY SHOULD GOD BE ANGRY AT
YOUR EXCUSE AND DESTROY THE WORK
00:33:40.05\00:33:42.62
OF YOUR HANDS? FOR IN
THE MULTITUDE OF DREAMS
00:33:42.65\00:33:45.52
AND MANY WORDS
THERE IS ALSO VANITY.
00:33:45.55\00:33:48.09
BUT FEAR GOD." MANY
WORDS IS ALSO VANITY.
00:33:48.12\00:33:52.59
GOD - PART OF A
DEFINITION BIBLICALLY OF A
00:33:52.63\00:33:55.20
GOD-FEARING PERSON IS THEY'RE
CAREFUL WITH THEIR WORDS.
00:33:55.23\00:33:58.83
IT SAYS HERE - PSALM
52:2, "YOUR TONGUE DEVISES
00:33:58.87\00:34:02.84
DESTRUCTION, LIKE A SHARP RAZOR,
WORKING DECEITFULLY." SOMEONE IN
00:34:02.87\00:34:07.84
A BOOK CALLED - SCHENCK WROTE
A BOOK ON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS -
00:34:07.88\00:34:10.78
"BY HOLDING OUR PEACE WHEN WE
HAVE IT IN OUR POWER TO DEFEND"
00:34:10.81\00:34:15.42
- WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT HERE
- I SHOULD SET THIS UP - YOU CAN
00:34:15.45\00:34:19.69
TELL A LIE BY SAYING NOTHING.
SOMETIMES WE LIE WITH A WINK
00:34:19.72\00:34:24.89
OR BY BLATANTLY SAYING A
LIE. SOMETIMES WE LIE THROUGH
00:34:24.93\00:34:28.16
SILENCE AND THIS IS
WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:34:28.20\00:34:32.13
"BY HOLDING OUR PEACE
WHEN WE HAVE IT IN OUR POWER TO
00:34:32.17\00:34:34.54
DEFEND, BY FAILING TO MENTION
THE GOOD WHEN THE EVIL IS SPOKEN
00:34:34.57\00:34:38.71
OF, BY ENCOURAGING THE TELLING
OF EVIL BY EAGER LISTENING, WE
00:34:38.74\00:34:43.65
ASSAULT THE REPUTATION OF OUR
NEIGHBOR AND BY THE ASCENT OF
00:34:43.68\00:34:47.12
OUR SILENCE." AND SOMETIMES
SILENCE IS GOLDEN, SOMETIMES
00:34:47.15\00:34:51.69
SILENCE IS YELLOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
00:34:51.72\00:34:55.86
YELLOW LIKE IN COWARDICE.
AND GOD WANTS US TO SPEAK UP.
00:34:55.89\00:35:00.20
SOMETIMES SAYING NOTHING
WHEN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH AND
00:35:00.23\00:35:01.90
EVERYONE ELSE IS BELIEVING
A LIE IS ENDORSING A LIE.
00:35:01.93\00:35:08.70
I FOUND THIS OLD POEM
TALKING ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT
00:35:08.74\00:35:12.51
NATIONS OF THE WORLD AND HOW
THEY'VE GOT PROVERBS ABOUT TRUTH
00:35:12.54\00:35:15.24
AND THE TONGUE - LISTEN TO THIS:
"'THE BONELESS TONGUE SO SMALL
00:35:15.28\00:35:20.05
AND WEAK CAN CRUSH AND
KILL,' DECLARES THE GREEK.
00:35:20.08\00:35:23.45
'THE TONGUE DECLARES A
GREATER HOARD,' THE TURK
00:35:23.49\00:35:26.29
ASSERTS, 'THAN DOES THE
SWORD.' THE PERSIAN PROVERB
00:35:26.32\00:35:30.16
WISELY SAYETH, A LENGTHY TONGUE
AN EARLY DEATH.' OR SOMETIMES
00:35:30.19\00:35:34.83
TAKES THIS FORM INSTEAD, 'DON'T
LET YOUR TONGUE CUT OFF YOUR
00:35:34.83\00:35:38.33
HEAD.' 'THE TONGUE CAN SPEAK
A WORD WITH SPEED,' SAYS THE
00:35:38.37\00:35:42.60
CHINESE, 'OUTSTRIPS THE
STEED.' WHILE THE ARAB SAGE DOTH
00:35:42.64\00:35:46.88
THIS IMPART, 'THE TONGUE'S GREAT
STOREHOUSE IS THE HEART.' FROM
00:35:46.91\00:35:51.31
HEBREW HATH THE MAXIM SPRUNG,
'THOUGH FEET SHOULD SLIP, NE'ER
00:35:51.35\00:35:56.55
LET THE TONGUE.' THE SACRED
WRITER CROWNS THE WHOLE: 'WHO
00:35:56.58\00:36:00.89
KEEPS HIS TONGUE DOTH KEEP THE
SOUL.'" EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD
00:36:00.92\00:36:05.63
KNOWS THAT A LOT OF TROUBLE
CAN COME FROM THE TONGUE.
00:36:05.66\00:36:10.00
NOW, IS THERE SUCH A THING
AS A HALF-TRUTH OR A WHITE LIE?
00:36:10.03\00:36:16.77
WHEN ABRAHAM WENT DOWN TO
EGYPT DURING A FAMINE AND, I
00:36:16.81\00:36:20.71
GUESS, SARAH MUST HAVE
REALLY BEEN A GOOD-LOOKING LADY,
00:36:20.74\00:36:25.31
BECAUSE HE WAS SO AFRAID THAT
EVEN AFTER SHE WAS OVER 60 YEARS
00:36:25.35\00:36:29.62
OF AGE HE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE
GOING TO KILL HIM FOR HIS WIFE.
00:36:29.65\00:36:34.79
AND HE SAID, 'SARAH,
LOOK, LET'S HAVE A LITTLE TALK.
00:36:34.82\00:36:37.43
YOU KNOW WE ARE
HALF-BROTHER/HALF-SISTER.
00:36:37.46\00:36:41.13
WE'VE GOT THE SAME
FATHER, DIFFERENT MOTHERS.' DID
00:36:41.16\00:36:42.60
YOU KNOW THAT? HE
SAID, 'LET'S FORGET ABOUT
00:36:42.63\00:36:44.63
THE MARRIAGE PART WHEN WE GET
TO EGYPT, JUST SAY THAT YOU'RE
00:36:44.67\00:36:47.94
MY SISTER BECAUSE THEY'LL
PROBABLY KILL ME AND TAKE
00:36:47.97\00:36:50.21
YOU.' I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HE WAS SO AFRAID OF.
00:36:50.24\00:36:52.37
HE HAD 300
SOLDIERS IN HIS HOUSEHOLD.
00:36:52.41\00:36:55.21
HE HAD HIS OWN
BODYGUARD. WAS IT TRUE?
00:36:55.24\00:36:58.88
WAS SHE HIS SISTER?
YES, BUT WASN'T IT IMPORTANT
00:36:58.91\00:37:03.92
THAT HE LET THE PHARAOH
KNOW THAT 'THIS IS MY WIFE'?
00:37:03.95\00:37:07.06
ESPECIALLY WHEN PHARAOH TOOK
HER TO BE PART OF HIS HAREM.
00:37:07.09\00:37:10.39
SHOULDN'T HE
HAVE SAID SOMETHING?
00:37:10.43\00:37:12.13
BUT HE HELD HIS
PEACE. HALF-TRUTH.
00:37:12.16\00:37:16.67
ABRAHAM, FATHER OF THE FAITH
- BY THE WAY, CHILDREN LEARN
00:37:16.70\00:37:19.50
FROM THEIR PARENTS - YEARS
LATER ISAAC DID THE SAME THING
00:37:19.53\00:37:22.27
WITH THE PHILISTINES.
HE SAID TO REBEKAH - SHE
00:37:22.30\00:37:24.47
WAS ALSO BEAUTIFUL - THOSE
JEWISH GIRLS BACK THEN MUST
00:37:24.51\00:37:26.57
HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD LOOKING.
HE SAID, 'CAN YOU LIE AND
00:37:26.61\00:37:29.88
TELL ABIMALECH
THAT YOU'RE MY SISTER?
00:37:29.91\00:37:32.05
THEN ABIMALECH LOOKS OUT
HIS WINDOW AND ISAAC IS GETTING
00:37:32.08\00:37:35.22
VERY COY AND
FLIRTATIOUS WITH HIS SISTER.
00:37:35.25\00:37:38.82
AND HE SAID, 'I SAW YOU
SPORTING WITH YOUR SISTER.
00:37:38.85\00:37:40.96
SHE'S NOT YOUR
SISTER, SHE'S YOUR WIFE.
00:37:40.99\00:37:42.96
YOU LIED.' 'WELL, BUT
SHE'S MY FIRST COUSIN.' WHICH,
00:37:42.99\00:37:47.10
TECHNICALLY, IN THE HEBREW
CULTURE WAS CALLED A SISTER AND
00:37:47.13\00:37:52.37
SO IT WAS A HALF-TRUTH
- OR WAS IT A WHOLE LIE?
00:37:52.40\00:37:56.40
THESE PATRIARCHS LIED.
SOMETIMES THEY LIED - WHEN
00:37:56.44\00:38:00.71
YOU SEE BIBLE
CHARACTERS LIE IT'S NOT A
00:38:00.74\00:38:02.61
JUSTIFICATION FOR
LYING. CAN YOU NAME PEOPLE IN
00:38:02.64\00:38:05.91
THE BIBLE THAT LIED?
RAHAB LIED, DIDN'T SHE?
00:38:05.95\00:38:11.89
OF COURSE, PEOPLE
SAY, 'WELL RAHAB LIED!'
00:38:11.92\00:38:13.46
SHE WAS A PROSTITUTE
TOO. WE'RE NOT ENDORSING
00:38:13.49\00:38:15.42
THAT, ARE WE? I MEAN, SHE WAS A
00:38:15.46\00:38:17.73
PAGAN COMING IN. SHE
LIED, SHE DID SAVE THEM.
00:38:17.76\00:38:21.33
DURING WAR YOU'LL OFTEN
FIND THEY USED DECEPTION.
00:38:21.36\00:38:24.80
DIDN'T JOSHUA USE DECEPTION
WHEN THEY PRETENDED THEY WERE
00:38:24.83\00:38:27.70
RETREATING AND IT WAS REALLY
A TRAP? THEY WERE DRAWING THE
00:38:27.74\00:38:30.07
PEOPLE OF AI - THE SOLDIERS OF
AI WERE BEING DRAWN INTO A TRAP.
00:38:30.11\00:38:33.34
WHEN DAVID REALIZED THAT
THE PHILISTINES WERE GETTING A
00:38:33.38\00:38:37.41
LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT HIM
WALKING AROUND AMONG THEM
00:38:37.45\00:38:40.15
CARRYING GOLIATH'S SWORD, HE
STARTED TO DROOL ON HIS BEARD
00:38:40.18\00:38:44.45
AND SCRATCH ON THE
GATE AND ACT LIKE A MAD MAN.
00:38:44.49\00:38:47.76
IS THAT HONEST OR
IS THAT DECEPTION?
00:38:47.79\00:38:51.99
IS GOD ENDORSING LYING OR
DID THEY JUST DO IT BACK THEN
00:38:52.03\00:38:55.53
AND HE'S JUST
TELLING US WHAT THEY DID?
00:38:55.56\00:38:59.20
WAS DAVID BEING DECEPTIVE
WHEN HE TRIED TO COVER UP WHAT
00:38:59.23\00:39:03.00
HAPPENED WITH BATHSHEBA?
HOW ABOUT PETER WHEN HE
00:39:03.04\00:39:06.21
DENIED KNOWING
JESUS? WAS THAT A LIE?
00:39:06.24\00:39:11.01
SO THERE'S A LOT OF LYING
THAT WENT ON, BUT IT'S NOT
00:39:11.05\00:39:13.08
AN ENDORSEMENT FOR
LYING. GOD JUST GIVES A FAITHFUL
00:39:13.11\00:39:16.72
HISTORY OF WHAT HIS PEOPLE DID.
TELL ME ABOUT WHEN JESUS LIED.
00:39:16.75\00:39:25.23
HE NEVER DID, DID
HE? EVERYTHING HE SAID
00:39:25.26\00:39:28.00
WAS THE TRUTH. WHO
IS IT THAT WE FOLLOW?
00:39:28.03\00:39:33.44
WE HAD A VERY
INTERESTING DISCUSSION IN THE
00:39:33.47\00:39:34.90
BATCHELOR HOUSE LAST
NIGHT DURING WORSHIP AND WE WERE
00:39:34.94\00:39:39.34
READING PART OF A BOOK BY
DIETRICH BONHOEFFER AND THE
00:39:39.37\00:39:44.08
SCENARIO WAS PRESENTED WHERE,
DURING THE NAZI OCCUPATION, FOR
00:39:44.11\00:39:49.58
INSTANCE, IF YOU WERE HIDING
JEWS IN YOUR HOUSE AND THEY WERE
00:39:49.62\00:39:52.79
YOUR FRIENDS AND SOLDIERS CAME
TO THE DOOR AND SAID, 'DO YOU
00:39:52.82\00:39:55.46
HAVE ANY JEWS HERE?'
IF YOU SAY 'YES' THEY'RE
00:39:55.49\00:39:58.13
GOING TO BE
KILLED. WHAT DO YOU DO?
00:39:58.16\00:40:03.37
IT'S KIND OF A DILEMMA, ISN'T
IT? A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
00:40:03.40\00:40:06.47
FACED WITH THAT. I'M
NOT SURE WE HAD AGREEMENT
00:40:06.50\00:40:10.01
IN OUR FAMILY ABOUT
HOW YOU DEAL WITH THAT.
00:40:10.04\00:40:12.07
IT WAS A VERY
INTERESTING CONVERSATION.
00:40:12.11\00:40:14.54
I TOOK THE OLD-FASHIONED
VIEW THAT DO WHAT JESUS WOULD DO
00:40:14.58\00:40:17.85
AND EITHER SAY NOTHING OR FIND
SOME WAY TO SPEAK THE TRUTH AND
00:40:17.88\00:40:21.12
NOT TURN IN YOUR FRIENDS.
LOOK FOR ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVE.
00:40:21.15\00:40:24.89
BUT, YOU KNOW, WE SPENT A LOT
OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THAT AND
00:40:24.92\00:40:28.56
YOU PROBABLY WILL BE A
LITTLE EXERCISED ABOUT THAT
00:40:28.59\00:40:30.49
AMONGST YOURSELVES.
HOPEFULLY YOU'LL THINK ABOUT
00:40:30.53\00:40:32.29
THOSE KIND OF QUESTIONS, BUT
IN REALITY THAT'S NOT THE TIME
00:40:32.33\00:40:35.86
WE USUALLY HAVE
TROUBLE WITH LYING.
00:40:35.90\00:40:38.27
GOD, PLEASE LET THAT BE THE
ONLY TIME THAT YOUR CHURCH HAS
00:40:38.30\00:40:42.10
TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT TO DO.
I WISH THAT WAS THE PROBLEM
00:40:42.14\00:40:45.41
AND WE HAD TO WORRY ABOUT
LYING UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES.
00:40:45.44\00:40:48.38
IN REALITY THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE.
00:40:48.41\00:40:50.51
IT'S A LOT MORE
ELEMENTARY WHERE WE STRUGGLE.
00:40:50.55\00:40:54.18
INSTEAD OF THESE
PHILOSOPHICAL CONUNDRUMS THAT WE
00:40:54.22\00:40:57.42
DEVELOP ABOUT 'WHAT DO
YOU DO IN A CASE LIKE THIS?'
00:40:57.45\00:40:59.45
- THAT'S NOT
WHAT WE GRAPPLE WITH.
00:40:59.49\00:41:01.62
WE GRAPPLE WITH LYING ON
JUST A VERY BASIC LEVEL - BEING
00:41:01.66\00:41:05.79
DISHONEST WITH OUR
SPOUSES. 'WHERE WERE YOU?'
00:41:05.83\00:41:11.03
'WELL, I WENT TO
WAL-MART.' WELL, YOU DID GO TO
00:41:11.07\00:41:14.27
WAL-MART BUT THAT'S NOT WHERE
YOU WERE THE LAST THREE HOURS.
00:41:14.30\00:41:18.67
AND SO, WE'RE NOT
REALLY SAYING WHERE WE WERE.
00:41:18.71\00:41:23.58
OR YOUR PARENTS ASK
THAT QUESTION - THERE'S ALL
00:41:23.61\00:41:27.72
KINDS OF SHADY ANSWERS THAT
WE GIVE AND WE'RE CHRISTIANS.
00:41:27.75\00:41:31.75
SOMETIMES WITH OUR BODY
LANGUAGE - THE FOLDING OF OUR
00:41:31.79\00:41:33.76
ARMS AND THE SHAPE OF OUR HEAD
AND THE SHRUG OF THE SHOULDERS
00:41:33.79\00:41:38.29
WE CAN TELL A LIE, AMEN?
HALF-TRUTHS - YOU EVER SAY
00:41:38.33\00:41:44.03
YOU'RE GLAD TO SEE
SOMEONE WHEN YOU'RE REALLY NOT?
00:41:44.07\00:41:48.87
OR YOU TELL THEM, 'HEY,
NEXT TIME WE GET TOGETHER WE'LL
00:41:48.90\00:41:50.51
HAVE LUNCH.' AND YOU'RE
THINKING, 'BOY, I HOPE THAT'S
00:41:50.54\00:41:52.47
NOT ANY TIME SOON.' OR SOMEONE
SAYS, 'HOW ARE YOU DOING?'
00:41:52.51\00:41:57.01
AND YOU SAY, 'FINE.' AND YOU'RE
ANYTHING BUT FINE, YOU KNOW WHAT
00:41:57.05\00:42:00.78
I'M SAYING? GOD
WANTS US TO BE HONEST.
00:42:00.82\00:42:07.12
SO WHY DO PEOPLE
LIE? WELL, FOR ONE THING,
00:42:07.16\00:42:10.36
THEY MIGHT BE AFRAID.
DID SARAH LIE WHEN THE
00:42:10.39\00:42:14.00
ANGEL SAID, 'I
HEARD YOU LAUGHING'?
00:42:14.03\00:42:16.30
I MEAN, WHEN GOD SAYS, 'WERE
YOU LAUGHING AT MY PROMISE?'
00:42:16.33\00:42:18.73
'OH NO, I DIDN'T LAUGH.' HE
SAID, 'OH YES YOU DID LAUGH.'
00:42:18.77\00:42:23.20
SHE LIED, WHY? SHE WAS
AFRAID. PEOPLE OFTEN LIE
00:42:23.24\00:42:27.58
BECAUSE THEY'RE
AFRAID. IS THAT AN EXCUSE?
00:42:27.61\00:42:30.91
SOMETIMES - OH, AND WHY DID
PETER LIE WHEN THE GIRL SAID
00:42:30.95\00:42:36.12
'DON'T YOU KNOW HIM?'
HE WAS PROBABLY AFRAID.
00:42:36.15\00:42:39.02
SOMETIMES PEOPLE LIE
BECAUSE THEY WANT PERSONAL GAIN
00:42:39.05\00:42:44.96
OR SOME REWARD. WHY
DID JACOB LIE TO HIS
00:42:44.99\00:42:47.46
FATHER AND PRETEND TO BE ESAU?
HE WANTED TO GET THAT BLESSING.
00:42:47.50\00:42:53.70
SOMETIMES A PERSON WANTS
A REWARD OR THEY WANT A JOB.
00:42:53.74\00:42:57.34
YOU KNOW, I FORGET WHAT THE
PERCENTAGES WERE BUT I THINK
00:42:57.37\00:42:59.64
IT WAS OVER 50% OF
PEOPLE EXAGGERATED OR LIED ON
00:42:59.67\00:43:04.41
THEIR RESUMES
WHEN APPLYING FOR JOBS.
00:43:04.45\00:43:07.32
MADE IT LOOK LIKE THEY HAD A
LITTLE MORE EXPERIENCE OR THEY
00:43:07.35\00:43:09.58
WERE A LITTLE MORE
APPRECIATED THAN THEY REALLY
00:43:09.62\00:43:11.95
WERE. SOMETIMES
PEOPLE DO IT TO WIN APPROVAL.
00:43:11.99\00:43:17.59
IN 2 SAMUEL 1:10 THIS
SOLDIER COMES TO DAVID - HE HAD
00:43:17.63\00:43:21.36
FOUND SAUL DEAD ON THE
BATTLEFIELD AND HE THOUGHT DAVID
00:43:21.40\00:43:23.67
WAS GOING TO BE HAPPY BECAUSE
EVERYONE KNEW SAUL WAS HUNTING
00:43:23.70\00:43:25.83
DAVID'S LIFE - THEY JUST
DIDN'T KNOW DAVID VERY WELL.
00:43:25.87\00:43:29.17
HE HAD NO
ANIMOSITY TOWARDS SAUL.
00:43:29.20\00:43:32.01
DAVID KNEW HOW TO
LOVE EVEN HIS ENEMIES.
00:43:32.04\00:43:34.04
THIS SOLDIER CAME AND HE
BROUGHT THE BRACELET AND CROWN
00:43:34.08\00:43:36.21
OF KING SAUL - HE SAID,
'I KILLED HIM.' - EXPECTING A
00:43:36.24\00:43:39.91
REWARD. HE LIED.
00:43:39.95\00:43:41.22
HE DIDN'T KILL HIM,
SAUL KILLED HIMSELF.
00:43:41.25\00:43:43.75
AND YOU KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED TO THAT LIAR?
00:43:43.79\00:43:46.42
DAVID SAID, 'HOW DARE YOU
LIFT YOUR SWORD AGAINST GOD'S
00:43:46.45\00:43:48.89
ANOINTED AND HE HAD ONE OF
HIS YOUNG MEN - SOLDIERS - BY
00:43:48.92\00:43:52.83
HIM AND HE SAID, 'SLAY
THAT MAN.' HE WAS TELLING A LIE
00:43:52.86\00:43:55.76
HOPING FOR A REWARD
TO GET SOME APPROVAL.
00:43:55.80\00:44:01.14
I REMEMBER I WENT FROM SCHOOL
IN NEW YORK CITY - I WAS IN A
00:44:01.17\00:44:04.64
JEWISH SCHOOL IN NEW YORK CITY
- MY FATHER KIDNAPPED MY BROTHER
00:44:04.67\00:44:08.14
AND I AT SUMMER CAMP AND TOOK
US DOWN TO FLORIDA AND PUT US IN
00:44:08.18\00:44:10.55
A CATHOLIC SCHOOL. I
DIDN'T KNOW ANYBODY - CALLED
00:44:10.58\00:44:13.65
ST. PATRICK'S - AND I - IT
WAS PARTWAY THROUGH THE SCHOOL.
00:44:13.68\00:44:16.95
IT HAD ALREADY STARTED AND
I WAS JUST AN OUTSIDER AND I
00:44:16.99\00:44:18.95
DIDN'T KNOW ANYBODY AND I
WANTED SO MUCH TO BE LIKED.
00:44:18.99\00:44:22.06
AND SO 'WHO ARE YOU?' 'I'M
DOUG.' 'WHERE ARE YOU FROM?'
00:44:22.09\00:44:25.69
'I'M FROM NEW YORK.' - MY
MOTHER WAS IN SHOW BUSINESS AND
00:44:25.73\00:44:29.10
I HAD FRIENDS THAT WERE ACTORS
AND I SAID, 'I'M A CHILD ACTOR.'
00:44:29.13\00:44:34.64
'OH REALLY?
WHAT DID YOU ACT IN?'
00:44:34.67\00:44:36.77
I WASN'T AN ACTOR.
'WHAT DID YOU' - WELL MY MOM
00:44:36.81\00:44:39.51
HAD TAKEN ME TO
SEE OLIVER TWIST.
00:44:39.54\00:44:40.94
I SAID, 'I WAS AN ACTOR
IN OLIVER TWIST.' 'REALLY?'
00:44:40.98\00:44:44.81
- THE NUN IS NOW
ASKING ME THIS, YOU KNOW?
00:44:44.85\00:44:47.22
'WHAT PART DID YOU
PLAY?' 'I WAS OLIVER.'
00:44:47.25\00:44:54.29
SEE, YOU'RE LAUGHING.
SHE SAID, 'WELL THAT'S
00:44:54.32\00:44:58.26
A MUSICAL ISN'T IT?' I
SAID 'YES.' SHE SAID, 'CAN YOU
00:44:58.29\00:45:00.60
SING ONE OF THE SONGS FOR US?'
WELL, THE CAT WAS OUT OF THE
00:45:00.63\00:45:06.00
BAG AFTER THE FIRST FEW LINES.
BUT YOU KNOW WHY I DID IT?
00:45:06.03\00:45:11.87
I WANTED TO BE ACCEPTED.
I DIDN'T KNOW ANYBODY HERE.
00:45:11.91\00:45:15.24
I'M A JEWISH BOY IN A
CATHOLIC SCHOOL AND SO I WAS
00:45:15.28\00:45:18.31
TRYING TO GET SOME
APPROVAL. BIG LIAR.
00:45:18.35\00:45:21.92
BOY, YEAH, I WISH I COULD
TELL YOU THAT WAS THE ONLY
00:45:21.95\00:45:24.25
WHOPPER I'D EVER
TOLD BUT, NO. VENGEANCE.
00:45:24.29\00:45:30.86
SOME PEOPLE TELL
LIES TO HURT SOMEONE ELSE.
00:45:30.89\00:45:33.53
THEY CONCOCT A STORY
SOMETIMES TO DESTROY A PERSON'S
00:45:33.56\00:45:37.60
REPUTATION. YOU REMEMBER WHEN
00:45:37.63\00:45:38.90
POTIPHAR'S WIFE - WHEN HER
ADVANCES WERE SPURNED, SHE LIED
00:45:38.93\00:45:44.24
ABOUT JOSEPH AND SAID, 'HE TRIED
TO RAPE ME.' HAD HIM PUT IN JAIL
00:45:44.27\00:45:49.91
- IT'S CALLED
BEARING FALSE TESTIMONY.
00:45:49.94\00:45:53.35
I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED
AFTER JOSEPH BECAME PRIME
00:45:53.38\00:45:55.35
MINISTER? DID HE
STILL HAVE HER ADDRESS?
00:45:55.38\00:45:59.42
THAT'S GOING TO BE
VERY INTERESTING TO PLAY THE
00:45:59.45\00:46:00.86
VIDEO BACK IN HEAVEN AND
FIND OUT HOW HE DEALT WITH THAT.
00:46:00.89\00:46:03.12
I'M THINKING HE FORGAVE HER.
I THINK IT PROBABLY WAS ENOUGH
00:46:03.16\00:46:06.16
FOR JOSEPH WHEN HIS CHARIOT WENT
DOWN THE STREET AND EVERYBODY
00:46:06.19\00:46:08.33
BOWED DOWN - HE'D
SEE HER IN THE CROWD.
00:46:08.36\00:46:14.17
SOME DO IT FOR
VENGEANCE. GOD WANTS US TO BE
00:46:14.20\00:46:17.47
TRUE WITNESSES. HE
WANTS US TO BE HONEST.
00:46:17.51\00:46:22.74
LUKE 12, VERSES 8 AND 9,
JESUS SAID, "ALSO I SAY TO
00:46:22.78\00:46:25.91
YOU, WHOEVER CONFESSES ME BEFORE
MEN, HIM THE SON OF MAN ALSO
00:46:25.95\00:46:30.49
WILL CONFESS
BEFORE THE ANGELS OF GOD.
00:46:30.52\00:46:32.95
BUT HE WHO DENIES ME BEFORE
MEN WILL BE DENIED BEFORE THE
00:46:32.99\00:46:36.22
ANGELS OF GOD." YOU KNOW, ONE
COMMANDMENT SAYS 'THOU SHALT NOT
00:46:36.26\00:46:39.26
TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD IN
VAIN.' THAT DOESN'T MEAN JUST
00:46:39.29\00:46:42.53
DON'T CURSE, THAT ALSO MEANS IF
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE NAME OF
00:46:42.56\00:46:46.80
CHRISTIAN, DON'T DO IT IN
VAIN, LIVE AS A CHRISTIAN.
00:46:46.84\00:46:50.44
AND WHEN IT SAYS, 'DO NOT
BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST YOUR
00:46:50.47\00:46:53.11
NEIGHBOR' IT DOESN'T JUST
MEAN DON'T ACCUSE YOUR NEIGHBOR,
00:46:53.14\00:46:57.05
IN THE WITNESS BOX, OF
DOING SOMETHING THEY'RE NOT
00:46:57.08\00:46:58.98
GUILTY OF, IT MEANS DO NOT
BE A BAD WITNESS BEFORE YOUR
00:46:59.01\00:47:03.42
NEIGHBOR, OF YOUR CHRISTIANITY.
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE.
00:47:03.45\00:47:09.09
TELL THEM WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
00:47:09.12\00:47:11.39
I REMEMBER ONE OF THE SAD
INDICTMENTS THAT I RECEIVED
00:47:11.43\00:47:14.56
AFTER YEARS OF BEING IN A
CERTAIN TOWN AND KNOWING SOME
00:47:14.60\00:47:17.43
PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, I
WAS TALKING IN THE SUPERMARKET
00:47:17.47\00:47:20.44
WITH ONE GAL THERE AND I
MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT
00:47:20.47\00:47:23.10
CHRISTIANITY AND SHE
SAID, 'OH, YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN?
00:47:23.14\00:47:26.78
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.' AND SHE
DIDN'T MEAN IT AS AN INSULT, BUT
00:47:26.81\00:47:31.48
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, 'WOW, I'VE
KNOWN THIS PERSON FOR SEVERAL
00:47:31.51\00:47:34.25
YEARS. WHAT KIND
OF A CHRISTIAN AM I?'
00:47:34.28\00:47:37.12
SHE HAD NO IDEA BECAUSE
I'D LOST SO MANY - GIVEN UP, I
00:47:37.15\00:47:42.79
SHOULD SAY - SO MANY
OPPORTUNITIES TO BE A WITNESS.
00:47:42.82\00:47:46.29
EPHESIANS 4:15, "BUT,
SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE," -
00:47:46.33\00:47:50.13
THAT'S OUR SERMON TITLE -
"...SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE,
00:47:50.17\00:47:52.37
MAY GROW UP IN ALL THINGS"
- SOMETIMES BECAUSE WE SAY, 'I
00:47:52.40\00:47:57.47
WANT TO BE HONEST' - WE SAY
MEAN, CUTTING THINGS TO ANOTHER
00:47:57.51\00:48:00.68
PERSON UNDER THE PRETENSE
OF BEING HONEST AND WE'RE JUST
00:48:00.71\00:48:03.55
BEING MEAN. YOU DON'T HAVE TO
SAY EVERYTHING YOU KNOW AND YOU
00:48:03.58\00:48:08.45
DON'T HAVE TO SAY EVERYTHING
YOU THINK TO STILL BE AN HONEST
00:48:08.48\00:48:10.75
PERSON. YOU
KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:48:10.79\00:48:13.39
WE NEED TO SPEAK THE
TRUTH AND DO IT IN LOVE.
00:48:13.42\00:48:15.89
AND SOMETIMES, IF YOU CAN'T SAY
ANYTHING NICE, YOU DON'T HAVE
00:48:15.92\00:48:18.63
TO SAY ANYTHING. GOD
HAS NOT APPOINTED US TO BE
00:48:18.66\00:48:20.56
THE CRITICS AND THE
JUDGES OF THE WORLD.
00:48:20.60\00:48:24.03
IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK, SPEAK
THE TRUTH AND DO IT IN LOVE.
00:48:24.07\00:48:28.47
NOW, YOU KNOW WHY THIS
SUBJECT'S ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT?
00:48:28.50\00:48:30.41
AND I'M CONCLUDING NOW.
00:48:30.44\00:48:34.71
THE WHOLE WORLD IS
SOON TO BE DECEIVED.
00:48:34.74\00:48:37.71
THE BIBLE SAYS THE DEVIL,
THAT DRAGON, 'THAT SERPENT THAT
00:48:37.75\00:48:42.25
DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD'
IS COMING DOWN WITH GREAT WRATH.
00:48:42.28\00:48:47.92
AND SOME PEOPLE
WANT TO BE DECEIVED.
00:48:47.96\00:48:50.56
IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE A LOVE
OF THE TRUTH - AND THAT MEANS IF
00:48:50.59\00:48:53.36
YOU DO NOT RECEIVE - I'M
NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT IF YOU
00:48:53.40\00:48:55.50
DON'T RECEIVE A LOVE OF BIBLE
DOCTRINE - IF YOU DON'T LOVE AND
00:48:55.53\00:48:58.63
CHERISH TRUTH, GOD WILL
THEN ALLOW YOU TO BELIEVE A LIE.
00:48:58.67\00:49:04.74
2 THESSALONIANS 2, VERSE
10. NOTICE, SPEAKING OF THE
00:49:04.77\00:49:08.64
ANTICHRIST POWER, "AND
WITH ALL UNRIGHTEOUS DECEPTION
00:49:08.68\00:49:12.98
AMONG THOSE WHO PERISH" -
UNRIGHTEOUS DECEPTION - "BECAUSE
00:49:13.01\00:49:16.65
THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE LOVE
OF THE TRUTH THAT THEY MIGHT BE
00:49:16.69\00:49:19.92
SAVED." IF YOU WANT TO BE SAVED
YOU HAVE TO LOVE THE TRUTH.
00:49:19.95\00:49:23.22
YOU CANNOT BE A PRACTICING
LIAR AND LOVE THE TRUTH.
00:49:23.26\00:49:27.86
"AND FOR THIS REASON GOD'LL
SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION," - IF
00:49:27.93\00:49:31.13
YOU LOVE DELUSION AND
DECEPTION HE'LL LET YOU HAVE IT
00:49:31.17\00:49:34.44
- "THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A
LIE," - THEY'LL BE VERY SINCERE
00:49:34.47\00:49:37.81
ABOUT A LIE - "THAT THEY ALL
MIGHT BE CONDEMNED WHO DID NOT
00:49:37.84\00:49:41.48
BELIEVE THE TRUTH BUT HAD
PLEASURE IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS."
00:49:41.51\00:49:44.95
PLEASURE IN DECEPTION. IF
WE DON'T LOVE THE TRUTH AND
00:49:44.98\00:49:48.75
RECEIVE A LOVE OF THE TRUTH
THAT WE MIGHT BE SAVED - THE
00:49:48.78\00:49:51.15
ONLY THING LEFT IF YOU
DON'T RECEIVE A LOVE OF
00:49:51.19\00:49:52.72
THE TRUTH IS WHAT?
TAKE AWAY THE LIGHT
00:49:52.75\00:49:55.29
AND YOU HAVE
DARKNESS. TAKE AWAY THE TRUTH
00:49:55.32\00:49:58.49
AND YOU HAVE DECEPTION.
YOU KNOW, I HEARD ABOUT
00:49:58.53\00:50:04.37
FOUR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS THAT
SHOWED UP IN CLASS LATE ONE DAY.
00:50:04.40\00:50:08.04
THEY'D BEEN GOOFING OFF BUT THEY
TOLD THE TEACHER 'WE HAD A FLAT
00:50:08.07\00:50:10.84
TIRE.' SHE SAID, 'WELL
YOU MISSED THE TEST THIS
00:50:10.87\00:50:13.34
MORNING.' 'OH,
WE COULDN'T HELP IT.
00:50:13.38\00:50:15.41
WE HAD A FLAT TIRE.'
SHE SAID, 'I TELL YOU WHAT.
00:50:15.44\00:50:17.18
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A
CHANCE TO TAKE THE TEST AGAIN,
00:50:17.21\00:50:20.52
BUT FIRST I'VE GOT
A ONE QUESTION TEST.
00:50:20.55\00:50:22.68
I WANT EACH OF YOU TO GO
TO A DIFFERENT CORNER OF THE
00:50:22.72\00:50:24.55
CLASSROOM AND HERE'S
YOUR QUESTION: WHICH TIRE WAS
00:50:24.59\00:50:27.56
FLAT?' THERE'S GOING TO
BE A TEST SOMEDAY, FRIENDS.
00:50:27.59\00:50:37.17
DO WE TREASURE THE
TRUTH? ALL LIARS WILL BE LOST,
00:50:37.20\00:50:42.64
THE BIBLE TELLS
US. LYING IS LETHAL.
00:50:42.67\00:50:45.41
REVELATION 21, VERSE 8,
"...ALL LIARS SHALL HAVE THEIR
00:50:45.44\00:50:49.11
PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNS
WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, WHICH
00:50:49.14\00:50:52.45
IS THE SECOND DEATH."
LORD, SAVE US FROM LYING.
00:50:52.48\00:50:57.52
REVELATION 22:15, "BUT
OUTSIDE" - OUTSIDE THE CITY OF
00:50:57.55\00:51:00.39
GOD - "ARE...WHOEVER LOVES
AND PRACTICES A LIE." SO THAT
00:51:00.42\00:51:05.46
COMMANDMENT - 'DO NOT BEAR FALSE
WITNESS AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR'
00:51:05.49\00:51:08.43
IS NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENS IN A COURT, IT'S TALKING
00:51:08.46\00:51:12.23
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN
THE COURT OF HEAVEN TOO.
00:51:12.27\00:51:15.00
ARE WE BEING HONEST?
NOW, ULTIMATELY, WE ARE
00:51:15.04\00:51:20.08
FOLLOWERS OF
CHRIST, AND WHAT WAS JESUS?
00:51:20.11\00:51:22.38
WE ARE CALLED TO
BE FAITHFUL WITNESSES.
00:51:22.41\00:51:24.05
JESUS SAID IN REVELATION
1:5, "AND FROM JESUS CHRIST, THE
00:51:24.08\00:51:27.75
FAITHFUL WITNESS," - WE
ARE TO BE FAITHFUL WITNESSES.
00:51:27.78\00:51:31.99
HE CAME TO BEAR
FAITHFUL TESTIMONY OF WHAT THE
00:51:32.02\00:51:35.09
FATHER WAS LIKE AND WHAT THE
MESSAGE OF THE FATHER IS AND TO
00:51:35.12\00:51:39.09
DIE FOR OUR SINS.
REVELATION 3:14, "AND TO THE
00:51:39.13\00:51:43.63
ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF THE
LAODICEANS" - THAT'S RELEVANT
00:51:43.67\00:51:46.00
FOR US - "WRITE 'THESE
THINGS SAYS THE AMEN, THE
00:51:46.03\00:51:49.80
FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS," -
THAT'S JESUS - THAT'S RED LETTER
00:51:49.84\00:51:53.81
- JESUS IS THE FAITHFUL WITNESS.
CHRIST SAID IN JOHN 8:55, "YET
00:51:53.84\00:51:59.81
YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN
HIM BUT I KNOW HIM.
00:51:59.85\00:52:02.08
AND IF I SAY, 'I DO NOT
KNOW HIM,' I SHALL BE A LIAR
00:52:02.12\00:52:04.09
LIKE YOU; BUT I DO KNOW HIM AND
KEEP HIS WORD." CHRIST CAME TO
00:52:04.12\00:52:08.32
BEAR FAITHFUL
WITNESS OF THE FATHER.
00:52:08.36\00:52:10.76
YOU KNOW WHAT PUT
JESUS ON THE CROSS?
00:52:10.79\00:52:14.13
A FALSE WITNESS - TWO OF THEM.
00:52:14.20\00:52:16.33
THEY HAD TO FIND AT LEAST
TWO AND THEY FOUND TWO FALSE
00:52:16.36\00:52:19.03
WITNESSES AND
CHRIST WAS FALSELY ACCUSED.
00:52:19.07\00:52:23.74
BECAUSE OF SOMEONE'S
LIES HE DIED ON THE CROSS.
00:52:23.77\00:52:27.71
AND IT WASN'T JUST
THEIR LIES 2,000 YEARS AGO.
00:52:27.74\00:52:30.48
YOU REALIZE JESUS DIED ON
THE CROSS FOR OUR LIES - OUR
00:52:30.51\00:52:35.48
EXAGGERATIONS, OUR
HALF-TRUTHS, THE WHITE LIES,
00:52:35.52\00:52:41.09
THE BLACK LIES AND
EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
00:52:41.12\00:52:43.96
GOD WANTS US TO BE A PEOPLE
THAT FOLLOW HIM AND HE IS THE
00:52:43.99\00:52:47.36
TRUTH AND THE
TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
00:52:47.40\00:52:51.03
LIES WILL ENSLAVE YOU.
NOW I'M TALKING TO MYSELF
00:52:51.07\00:52:55.57
JUST AS I'M TALKING TO YOU
BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY AREAS
00:52:55.60\00:52:58.34
WHERE WE THINK THAT IT'S
GRAY AND GOD IS CALLING US TO BE
00:52:58.37\00:53:01.34
A PEOPLE THAT ARE
SINCERE - WITHOUT WAX - HONEST,
00:53:01.38\00:53:05.38
DEPENDABLE, TRUSTWORTHY - 'LET
YOUR YEA BE YEA AND YOUR NAY BE
00:53:05.41\00:53:09.25
NAY' - AND THE LORD WANTS
US TO HAVE THAT IN OUR HEARTS.
00:53:09.28\00:53:12.89
IF WE'RE GOING TO SPEAK
THE TRUTH IN OUR MOUTHS, FIRST
00:53:12.92\00:53:16.46
WE NEED TO HAVE IT IN OUR
HEARTS AND JESUS IS THE TRUTH.
00:53:16.49\00:53:20.50
WHEN YOU RECEIVE HIM AND
HIS PRINCIPLES AND HIS TEACHINGS
00:53:20.53\00:53:24.20
INTO YOUR HEART - 'OUT OF
THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE
00:53:24.23\00:53:27.47
MOUTH WILL SPEAK' AND
OUR WORDS WILL BE CHANGED.
00:53:27.50\00:53:30.71
I'M HOPING THAT I CAN HAVE
THAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE BECAUSE
00:53:30.74\00:53:34.68
SOME DAY WE'RE GOING TO BE
CALLED TO A POINT WHERE WE'RE
00:53:34.71\00:53:39.45
GOING TO BE ASKED
'WHO DO YOU BELIEVE IN?'
00:53:39.48\00:53:40.92
- AND IF YOU
LIE, YOU'LL BE LOST.
00:53:40.95\00:53:43.92
WE NEED TO HAVE SUCH A LOVE
FOR THE TRUTH THAT EVEN IF WE'RE
00:53:43.95\00:53:48.09
EXECUTED FOR IT, WE'RE GOING
TO SAY 'JESUS IS OUR LORD',
00:53:48.12\00:53:51.53
AMEN? WE'RE GOING
TO TAKE A STAND FOR
00:53:51.56\00:53:53.80
THE TRUTH IN OUR WORD AND
IN OUR DEEDS AND YOU'VE GOT TO
00:53:53.83\00:53:57.67
REALLY LOVE THE TRUTH
TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
00:53:57.70\00:53:59.33
YOU'VE GOT TO REALLY LOVE THE
TRUTH TO BE WILLING TO DIE FOR
00:53:59.37\00:54:01.50
THE TRUTH. IF
WE'RE NOT FAITHFUL IN THE
00:54:01.54\00:54:04.84
LITTLE THINGS NOW, WHAT
WILL WE DO WHEN A BIG TEST COMES
00:54:04.87\00:54:07.54
WHEN IT COMES TO TRUTH?
SO WE MUST CHERISH IT NOW.
00:54:07.58\00:54:11.91
WELL, ALL OF US HAVE
LIED. I DON'T WANT ANYONE
00:54:11.95\00:54:13.85
TO BE DISCOURAGED. IF
IT WASN'T FOR GOD'S MERCY
00:54:13.88\00:54:17.22
WE'D BE IN BIG TROUBLE,
AMEN? BUT GOD CAN CHANGE OUR
00:54:17.25\00:54:21.46
HEARTS AND HE CAN FORGIVE OUR
SINS AND HE CAN POUR HIS TRUTH
00:54:21.49\00:54:24.73
INTO OUR LIVES SO I'M THANKFUL
FOR HIS REDEMPTION. (MUSIC)
00:54:24.76\00:54:40.98
>>FOR OVER SIXTY YEARS JEEPNEYS
HAVE BEEN THE VIRTUAL KING OF
00:54:41.01\00:54:43.78
THE ROAD, HERE
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
00:54:43.81\00:54:45.81
THESE UNIQUE VEHICLES THAT ARE
FESTIVE WITH COLORFUL STICKERS,
00:54:45.85\00:54:49.05
LIGHTS, AND CHROME HAVE
GROWN INTO THE CHIEF SOURCE OF
00:54:49.08\00:54:52.09
TRANSPORTATION IN
THE COUNTRY. LET'S GO!
00:54:52.12\00:54:59.69
THESE ICONIC FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
MILITARY VEHICLES, MADE BY THE
00:54:59.73\00:55:02.73
WILLYS COMPANY, WERE KNOWN
AS 'JEEPS' BECAUSE IT STOOD FOR
00:55:02.76\00:55:06.17
GENERAL PURPOSE, BUT IT
ALSO CAME FROM A CHARACTER IN A
00:55:06.20\00:55:10.94
POPEYE CARTOON THAT WAS KNOWN
AS 'EUGENE THE JEEP' HE WAS AN
00:55:10.97\00:55:14.91
IMAGINARY DOG THAT COULD CRAWL
ACROSS THE CEILINGS AND THE
00:55:14.94\00:55:17.58
WALLS - AND THESE
JEEPS COULD GO ANYWHERE.
00:55:17.61\00:55:20.15
WHEN THE AMERICANS LEFT THE
PHILIPPINES FOLLOWING WORLD WAR
00:55:20.18\00:55:22.68
II, IT WAS JUST CHEAPER FOR THEM
TO JUST LEAVE THESE THOUSANDS OF
00:55:22.72\00:55:26.12
MILITARY VEHICLES BEHIND RATHER
THAN TO TRANSPORT THEM BACK TO
00:55:26.15\00:55:29.12
THE STATES. THE
CREATIVE FILIPINO PEOPLE
00:55:29.16\00:55:31.99
MODIFIED THESE MILITARY
VEHICLES BY EXTENDING THE
00:55:32.03\00:55:34.66
FRAME ABOUT SIX FEET.
THEY ADDED A COUPLE OF OPPOSING
00:55:34.73\00:55:37.83
BENCHES THAT ARE DESIGNED TO
CARRY ABOUT 18 PEOPLE, THEY PUT
00:55:37.87\00:55:41.77
A CAB OVER IT TO PREVENT THE
WATER FROM COMING IN, BUT I'VE
00:55:41.80\00:55:45.41
SEEN WHAT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT 20
TO 25 PEOPLE HANGING OFF EVERY
00:55:45.44\00:55:48.84
POSSIBLE EDGE AND LEDGE OF
A JEEPNEY - JUMPING OFF AND
00:55:48.88\00:55:52.88
JUMPING ON AS IT GOES THROUGH
CONGESTED MANILLA TRAFFIC.
00:55:52.91\00:55:57.95
EVERY JEEPNEY IS A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
00:55:57.99\00:56:00.32
SOME ARE JUST HELD TOGETHER
WITH PATCHES OF BALING WIRE AND
00:56:00.36\00:56:03.32
BUBBLE GUM - A LITTLE BIT OF
DUCT TAPE - SOME ARE A LITTLE
00:56:03.36\00:56:06.06
MORE ORNATE AND MODERN - THEY'VE
GOT CHROME AND STAINLESS STEEL -
00:56:06.09\00:56:09.40
AND THERE'S GOOD REASON
THAT THE CEILINGS ARE PADDED.
00:56:09.43\00:56:15.07
WHEN ONE OF THE LOCAL FILIPINOS
WANTS A RIDE ON A JEEPNEY, THEY
00:56:15.10\00:56:18.17
JUST FLAG THEM DOWN, THEY SHOUT,
THEY TAP ON THE HOOD, AND THEN
00:56:18.21\00:56:20.98
THEY JUMP ON BOARD - THEY MAY
NOT EVEN SLOW DOWN WHEN THEY DO
00:56:21.01\00:56:24.05
THIS - THEN THEY PAY ABOUT EIGHT
PESOS, WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT
00:56:24.08\00:56:27.72
OF 16 CENTS FOR US - IT'S, BY
FAR, THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY TO
00:56:27.75\00:56:31.55
GET AROUND IN THE COUNTRY.
SOME JEEPNEYS ARE EVEN EQUIPPED
00:56:31.59\00:56:39.36
WITH THEIR OWN EMERGENCY PRIVY.
00:56:39.39\00:56:44.07
ONE LITTLE DOWNSIDE TO THIS
JEEPNEYS IS, BECAUSE THE CABS
00:56:44.10\00:56:46.57
ARE OPEN LIKE THIS, THEY'RE NOT
AIR-CONDITIONED, IT GETS PRETTY
00:56:46.60\00:56:49.54
HOT IN THE SUMMERTIME AND ALL OF
THE FUMES FROM THE STREET COME
00:56:49.57\00:56:52.34
IN, WHICH CAN MAKE IT AN
EXHAUSTING EXPERIENCE - WHEW.
00:56:52.37\00:56:57.28
PART OF THE DOWNSIDE OF A
JEEPNEY IS THEY DON'T HAVE ALL
00:56:57.31\00:56:59.38
OF THE MODERN SAFETY FEATURES -
NO SEAT BELTS - YOU HAVE TO TAKE
00:56:59.41\00:57:03.22
ADVANTAGE OF THE PADDING IF YOU
HIT A HARD BUMP AND, IF YOU'RE
00:57:03.25\00:57:06.42
IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, THERE'S
NO AIRBAGS OTHER THAN THE
00:57:06.45\00:57:09.42
FRIENDS THAT MIGHT
BE SITTING AROUND YOU.
00:57:09.46\00:57:11.63
AND THAT'S THE UPSIDE OF THE
JEEPNEY, BECAUSE YOU'RE UP CLOSE
00:57:11.66\00:57:14.10
AND PERSONAL WITH EVERYBODY,
YOU MAKE SOME NEW FRIENDS.
00:57:14.10\00:57:17.67
RIDING ON A
JEEPNEY REQUIRES TEAMWORK.
00:57:17.70\00:57:20.10
IF YOU BUY SOMETHING FROM ONE
OF THE VENDORS, YOU ALL SORT OF
00:57:20.14\00:57:22.44
PASS IT BACK TO EACH OTHER AND
WHEN PASSENGERS GET ON BOARD,
00:57:22.47\00:57:25.81
YOU JUST PASS YOUR
MONEY UP FRONT. THANKS A LOT!
00:57:25.84\00:57:38.69
FRIENDS, IT'S SAFE TO SAY THERE
ARE NO TWO JEEPNEYS THAT ARE
00:57:38.72\00:57:41.46
EXACTLY THE SAME - THEY'RE ALL
UNIQUE AND DISTINCT - AND SO ARE
00:57:41.49\00:57:45.86
YOU. HAVE YOU
EVER FELT THAT YOU GET
00:57:45.89\00:57:47.86
LOST IN THE MASS OF HUMANITY
AND GOD DOESN'T NOTICE YOU?
00:57:47.86\00:57:51.80
THE BIBLE TELLS US
THAT HE KNOWS YOUR NAME.
00:57:51.83\00:57:53.87
THE VERY HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD
ARE NUMBERED AND HE HEARS YOUR
00:57:53.90\00:57:56.17
PRAYERS. MORE THAN
THAT, THE LORD WANTS
00:57:56.20\00:57:58.44
TO TAKE YOU TO HIS KINGDOM -
YOU JUST HAVE TO GET ON BOARD.
