(MUSIC)
00:00:00.60\00:00:15.74
>>WE ARE IN THE INFANCY OF
A SERIES CALLED THE SHEPHERD
00:00:15.78\00:00:19.65
KING: LESSONS FROM THE LIFE OF
DAVID AND TODAY'S PRESENTATION
00:00:19.68\00:00:24.89
WILL BE THE SECOND INSTALLMENT,
TALKING ABOUT SPIRIT-FILLED
00:00:24.92\00:00:28.79
MUSIC. I REMEMBER
READING ABOUT GEORGE
00:00:28.82\00:00:32.59
FRIDERIC HANDEL, THE COMPOSER OF
THAT FAMOUS SONG THE MESSIAH -
00:00:32.63\00:00:38.37
AND MANY OTHERS - THAT HE WAS
JUST A VERY TALENTED ORGANIST.
00:00:38.40\00:00:43.74
AND ONE DAY, WHEN HE WAS
VISITING A CHURCH IN ANOTHER
00:00:43.77\00:00:46.54
CITY, AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE
SERMON, YOU KNOW, THE ORGANIST
00:00:46.57\00:00:49.98
USED TO, WHAT THEY CALL, 'PLAY
THE PEOPLE OUT' - AND WE CALL IT
00:00:50.01\00:00:53.48
A 'POSTLUDE' - AND HE WENT OVER
TO THE ORGANIST AND SAID, 'DO
00:00:53.52\00:00:57.82
YOU MIND IF I PLAY THE PEOPLE
OUT?' HE SAID, 'OH PLEASE' - IT
00:00:57.85\00:01:00.62
WAS CUSTOMARY - HE SAID,
YOU KNOW, VISITING ORGANIST, BE
00:01:00.66\00:01:04.26
HAPPY TO. HE SAT DOWN AND HE
BEGAN TO PLAY AND, AS THE USHERS
00:01:04.29\00:01:06.86
WENT UP THE AISLE TO USH PEOPLE
OUT, NOBODY GOT UP BECAUSE THE
00:01:06.90\00:01:11.50
MUSIC WAS JUST SO MESMERIZING
AND SO ENCHANTING AND SO
00:01:11.53\00:01:16.74
THRILLING, THAT THEY ALL STAYED
THERE. AND HE PLAYED ON FOR
00:01:16.77\00:01:20.08
QUITE A WHILE AND THEN,
EVENTUALLY, THE LOCAL ORGANIST
00:01:20.11\00:01:25.25
EITHER GOT HUNGRY OR HE GOT
JEALOUS AND HE SAID, 'WELL, I
00:01:25.28\00:01:29.75
DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DO
A VERY GOOD JOB OF PLAYING THEM
00:01:29.78\00:01:32.02
OUT. MAYBE I SHOULD TAKE
OVER.' (LAUGHTER) AND HE SAID,
00:01:32.05\00:01:35.69
'ABSOLUTELY' AND HE HANDED BACK
THE ORGAN AND, AS SOON AS HE
00:01:35.72\00:01:38.66
STARTED PLAYING, THE PEOPLE
GOT UP AND LEFT. (LAUGHTER)
00:01:38.69\00:01:43.16
MUSIC DOES HAVE A POWER AND IT
CAN DRAW, IT CAN REPEL, IT CAN
00:01:43.20\00:01:48.94
INSPIRE IN GOOD WAYS AND
BAD. YOU REMEMBER, IN OUR LAST
00:01:48.97\00:01:53.44
PRESENTATION, WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT DAVID WAS ANOINTED AS KING
00:01:53.48\00:02:00.35
AND SAMUEL MADE THAT SPECIAL
CLANDESTINE VISIT THERE, TO
00:02:00.38\00:02:04.42
BETHLEHEM, TO ANOINT DAVID AS
KING WHEN THERE WAS STILL A KING
00:02:04.45\00:02:08.66
ON THE THRONE, WHO HAD, BY
THE WAY, ALSO BEEN CHOSEN BY GOD
00:02:08.69\00:02:12.33
AND FILLED BY THE SPIRIT
OF GOD SEVERAL YEARS EARLIER.
00:02:12.36\00:02:16.16
AND SO, IT SAYS HERE, AFTER
HE TOOK THE HORN OF OIL - I'M IN
00:02:16.20\00:02:19.43
VERSE 13 - AGAIN, 1 SAMUEL 16,
VERSE 13, "THEN SAMUEL TOOK THE
00:02:19.47\00:02:23.54
HORN OF OIL AND ANOINTED HIM IN
THE MIDST OF HIS BROTHERS; AND
00:02:23.57\00:02:27.04
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME UPON
DAVID FROM THAT DAY FORWARD.
00:02:27.08\00:02:31.68
SO SAMUEL AROSE
AND WENT TO RAMAH."
00:02:31.71\00:02:33.68
HE SAID, 'I'VE GOT TO GET OUT
OF HERE BECAUSE I'VE JUST - IT
00:02:33.72\00:02:36.05
COULD BE VIEWED AS TREASON TO
ANOINT ANOTHER KING WHILE THERE
00:02:36.08\00:02:40.49
IS A SITTING KING ON THE
THRONE.' BUT NOTICE VERSE 14,
00:02:40.52\00:02:44.79
"BUT" - IT SAYS THE HOLY SPIRIT
COMES ON DAVID - "BUT THE SPIRIT
00:02:44.83\00:02:50.07
OF THE LORD DEPARTED FROM SAUL,
AND A DISTRESSING SPIRIT FROM
00:02:50.10\00:02:54.84
THE LORD TROUBLED HIM." NOW
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT VERSE.
00:02:54.87\00:03:00.08
DAVID IS SPIRIT FILLED, BUT THEN
IT SAYS 'THE SPIRIT DEPARTED
00:03:00.11\00:03:07.05
FROM SAUL' AND THAT MANIFESTED
ITSELF A NUMBER OF WAYS.
00:03:07.08\00:03:12.75
YOU CAN READ, FOR INSTANCE, IN
THE WRITINGS OF JOSEPHUS, HE WAS
00:03:12.79\00:03:15.79
A JEWISH HISTORIAN. HE
SAID - HE REPRESENTED THAT
00:03:15.82\00:03:19.39
SAUL BECAME DEMON POSSESSED
AT THIS POINT. "HE WAS ALMOST
00:03:19.43\00:03:23.73
SUFFOCATED AND STRANGLED,
AS WELL AS DISTRACTED AT HIS
00:03:23.77\00:03:27.27
COUNSELS. HE BECAME WEAK
AND FOOLISH. HE LOST COURAGE AND
00:03:27.30\00:03:31.01
GREATNESS OF MIND. HE
WAS TIMOROUS" - MEANING
00:03:31.04\00:03:34.08
FEARFUL - "AND ALARMED BY
EVERYTHING, AND HE WAS FULL OF
00:03:34.11\00:03:37.35
ENVY AND
SUSPICION, RAGE, AND DESPAIR."
00:03:37.38\00:03:41.78
AND, AS YOU READ OUT IN THE
REMAINING CHAPTERS OF 1 SAMUEL,
00:03:41.82\00:03:45.45
YOU SEE THAT A LOT OF
THAT PROVED TO BE TRUE.
00:03:45.49\00:03:48.36
HOW SAD TO HAVE THE WORDS
WRITTEN, 'THE SPIRIT DEPARTED.'
00:03:48.39\00:03:53.09
THAT TELLS US THAT GOD CAN GIVE
HIS SPIRIT TO SOMEBODY AND HE
00:03:53.13\00:03:57.40
CAN TAKE IT AWAY.
THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT POINT
00:03:57.43\00:04:00.37
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A
GOOD SEGMENT OF DEAR CHRISTIANS
00:04:00.40\00:04:03.27
THAT BELIEVE THAT ONCE
YOU'RE SAVED AND SPIRIT FILLED,
00:04:03.30\00:04:05.84
YOU CANNOT BE LOST. THE BIBLE
DOES NOT TEACH THAT. THE BIBLE
00:04:05.87\00:04:09.51
TEACHES THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN
BE GRIEVED. AND THESE WORDS ARE
00:04:09.54\00:04:13.52
IN THE SACRED RECORD AS A
WARNING FOR ALL OF US SO THAT WE
00:04:13.55\00:04:17.22
WILL KNOW THAT WE NEED TO GUARD
AGAINST GRIEVING THE SPIRIT AND
00:04:17.25\00:04:21.76
DO EVERYTHING IN OUR LIVES
TO EMBRACE AND TO WELCOME THE
00:04:21.79\00:04:24.19
SPIRIT TO BE IN OUR LIVES.
AGAIN, IT SAYS IN EPHESIANS
00:04:24.23\00:04:27.76
4:30, "AND DO NOT GRIEVE
THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, BY WHOM
00:04:27.76\00:04:32.43
YOU WERE SEALED FOR
THE DAY OF REDEMPTION."
00:04:32.47\00:04:34.87
NOW, THE ONLY REASON PAUL WOULD
SAY 'DO NOT GRIEVE THE HOLY
00:04:34.90\00:04:37.51
SPIRIT' IS BECAUSE THE HOLY
SPIRIT CAN BE GRIEVED AND, WHEN
00:04:37.54\00:04:41.24
YOU COMPLETELY AND FINALLY
GRIEVE THE SPIRIT AWAY, THEN
00:04:41.28\00:04:44.91
YOU'VE DONE WHAT IS DEFINED AS
COMMITTING THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.
00:04:44.95\00:04:49.62
NOW, I DON'T BELIEVE
SAUL HAD DONE THAT YET.
00:04:49.65\00:04:52.42
IT IS POSSIBLE TO GRIEVE AWAY
THE SPIRIT - OR TO GRIEVE THE
00:04:52.45\00:04:55.76
HOLY SPIRIT. IT IS
POSSIBLE TO BE EVEN SPIRIT
00:04:55.79\00:04:58.66
- DEMON POSSESSED
AND NOT BE FINALLY LOST.
00:04:58.69\00:05:02.40
DIDN'T JESUS SAVE PEOPLE THAT
SEEMED UTTERLY DEMON POSSESSED?
00:05:02.43\00:05:06.47
YOU KNOW THE STORY ABOUT
THE DEMONIAC THERE BY THE SEA OF
00:05:06.50\00:05:09.50
GALILEE THAT RAN AROUND NAKED,
DRAGGING BROKEN CHAINS AND
00:05:09.54\00:05:12.71
CUTTING HIMSELF AND CRYING AND
LIVING WITH PIGS AND LIVING IN A
00:05:12.74\00:05:15.81
CEMETERY AND - I MEAN, THAT GUY
WAS PRETTY FAR GONE AND JESUS
00:05:15.84\00:05:20.52
SAVED HIM AND TURNED
HIM INTO AN EVANGELIST.
00:05:20.55\00:05:23.52
MARY MAGDALENE HAD
SEVEN DEVILS CAST OUT OF HER.
00:05:23.55\00:05:26.35
AND SO, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO,
LIKE THE PRODIGAL, THEY KNEW
00:05:26.39\00:05:29.76
GOD, THEY WERE IN THE FATHER'S
HOUSE, THEY WANDERED AWAY, THEY
00:05:29.79\00:05:32.39
END UP IN THE PIGPEN,
AND THEY CAN BE SAVED AGAIN.
00:05:32.43\00:05:36.70
BUT THERE IS A POINT OF NO
RETURN AND, BEFORE THE STORY'S
00:05:36.73\00:05:39.93
OVER, I'M SAD TO SAY WHAT
YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW, SAUL
00:05:39.97\00:05:44.14
ULTIMATELY DOES REACH
THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
00:05:44.17\00:05:46.81
BUT I DON'T
THINK HE WAS THERE YET.
00:05:46.84\00:05:49.01
BUT IT IS A SCARY THING TO THINK
THAT YOU COULD GRIEVE AWAY THE
00:05:49.04\00:05:52.01
SPIRIT AND IT'S POSSIBLE
TO DO IT AND NOT KNOW IT.
00:05:52.05\00:05:56.72
YOU READ, FOR INSTANCE, THE
STORY OF SAMSON - JUDGES 16,
00:05:56.75\00:06:00.96
VERSE 19 - VERY FAMOUS PASSAGE.
00:06:00.99\00:06:03.89
SHE, DELILAH, "LULLED HIM TO
SLEEP ON HER KNEES, AND CALLED
00:06:03.93\00:06:09.00
FOR A MAN AND HAD HIM SHAVE
OFF THE SEVEN LOCKS OF HIS HEAD.
00:06:09.03\00:06:13.70
THEN SHE BEGAN TO TORMENT
HIM, AND HIS STRENGTH LEFT HIM."
00:06:13.74\00:06:18.41
- REMEMBER, IT WAS THE SPIRIT
OF THE LORD - CAME ON SAMSON AND
00:06:18.44\00:06:21.11
GAVE HIM THAT SUPERNATURAL
STRENGTH - "AND SHE SAID" - AS A
00:06:21.14\00:06:24.51
TEST - "'THE PHILISTINES
ARE UPON YOU, SAMSON!'
00:06:24.55\00:06:27.25
SO HE AWOKE FROM HIS SLEEP, AND
SAID, 'I WILL GO OUT AS BEFORE,
00:06:27.28\00:06:29.58
AT OTHER TIMES, AND
SHAKE MYSELF FREE!'"
00:06:29.62\00:06:32.12
- WITH A SUPERNATURAL STRENGTH
- AND THIS IS THE VERSE THAT YOU
00:06:32.15\00:06:35.16
SHOULDN'T MISS - "BUT HE DID NOT
KNOW THAT THE LORD HAD DEPARTED
00:06:35.19\00:06:40.80
FROM HIM." - THERE ARE THOSE
WORDS AGAIN. WHAT HAPPENED AFTER
00:06:40.83\00:06:44.33
THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME UPON
DAVID? IT SAYS, 'BUT THE SPIRIT
00:06:44.37\00:06:47.64
DEPARTED FROM SAUL.' YOU
KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT
00:06:47.67\00:06:50.34
FRIGHTENS YOU,
FRIENDS, BUT IT FRIGHTENS ME.
00:06:50.37\00:06:53.14
THE THOUGHT MAKES ME SHUDDER
THAT I MIGHT GRIEVE AWAY THE
00:06:53.17\00:06:56.78
SPIRIT AND NOT KNOW IT.
YOU WONDER HOW MANY - SAUL
00:06:56.81\00:07:01.92
CONTINUED AS KING FOR YEARS.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO GO
00:07:01.95\00:07:06.19
THROUGH ALL KINDS OF RELIGIOUS
CEREMONIES AND RITUALS AND NOT
00:07:06.22\00:07:10.43
EVEN KNOW THEY'RE DOING
IT WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:07:10.46\00:07:14.10
SAUL CONTINUED IN
THE OFFICE AS KING.
00:07:14.13\00:07:16.73
AND THE PRIESTS THAT CONDEMNED
AND CRUCIFIED JESUS, CONTINUED
00:07:16.77\00:07:20.84
WITH ALL THE RITUALS OF
RELIGION - DEVOID OF THE SPIRIT.
00:07:20.87\00:07:25.71
I READ A QUOTE ONCE THAT
PROBABLY EIGHTY PERCENT OF WHAT
00:07:25.74\00:07:30.01
HAPPENS IN CHURCHES
HAPPENS WITHOUT THE SPIRIT'S
00:07:30.05\00:07:33.58
INVOLVEMENT. THERE'S
ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT
00:07:33.62\00:07:36.22
CAN GO ON THAT THE
HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT DOING.
00:07:36.25\00:07:39.85
THAT'S WHY DAVID, WHEN HE PRAYED
- DAVID KNEW WHAT HAD HAPPENED
00:07:39.89\00:07:42.89
TO SAUL. PSALM 51,
WHEN DAVID SINNED WITH
00:07:42.92\00:07:45.66
BATHSHEBA, YOU KNOW
WHAT HIS BIG FEAR WAS?
00:07:45.69\00:07:47.96
HE SAID, 'DO NOT CAST ME AWAY
FROM YOUR PRESENCE AND DO NOT
00:07:48.00\00:07:52.07
TAKE YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FROM
ME. I WANT TO DIRECT YOU TO 1
00:07:52.10\00:07:56.60
CHRONICLES 17:13, NATHAN THE
PROPHET COMES TO TALK TO DAVID.
00:07:56.64\00:08:00.14
HE'S TALKING ABOUT 'YOUR SON
IS GOING TO BUILD A TEMPLE' -
00:08:00.18\00:08:02.81
SOLOMON - AND THIS IS WHAT
NATHAN SAYS, "I WILL BE HIS
00:08:02.84\00:08:06.41
FATHER," - SPEAKING OF SOLOMON
- "AND HE SHALL BE MY SON; AND I
00:08:06.45\00:08:09.65
WILL NOT TAKE MY MERCY AWAY FROM
HIM, AS I TOOK IT FROM HIM WHO
00:08:09.68\00:08:14.72
WAS BEFORE YOU." -
WHO WAS THAT? SAUL.
00:08:14.76\00:08:17.46
GOD - NATHAN IS TELLING DAVID
- GOD IS TELLING DAVID, THROUGH
00:08:17.49\00:08:20.50
NATHAN, 'I AM GOING TO BE WITH
YOUR SON UNTIL HE FINISHES HIS
00:08:20.53\00:08:24.27
HOUSE. I WILL NOT
TAKE MY SPIRIT FROM
00:08:24.30\00:08:26.23
HIM AS - MY MERCY FROM HIM
AS I DID FROM HIM WHO WAS BEFORE
00:08:26.27\00:08:29.77
YOU.' SO THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
- THE MERCY OF GOD - THE GRACE
00:08:29.80\00:08:34.11
OF GOD WAS TAKEN FROM SAUL
AND IT LEFT HIM IN SHATTERS.
00:08:34.14\00:08:39.38
NOW, ARE THERE OTHERS IN THE
BIBLE THAT HAD THAT EXPERIENCE?
00:08:39.41\00:08:43.15
WAS BALAAM A
SPIRIT-FILLED PROPHET? WAS HE?
00:08:43.18\00:08:50.13
AT ONE POINT HE WAS, BUT HE
BEGAN TO COVET THE REWARDS OF
00:08:50.16\00:08:56.00
BALAK, THE KING OF THE MOABITES,
AND EVENTUALLY GRIEVED AWAY THE
00:08:56.03\00:08:59.47
SPIRIT AND HE WAS
KILLED BY ISRAEL IN A BATTLE.
00:08:59.50\00:09:03.51
THE BIBLE TALKS
A LOT ABOUT BALAAM.
00:09:03.54\00:09:05.57
WHAT ABOUT JUDAS? YOU
KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS
00:09:05.61\00:09:07.84
SENT OUT THE TWELVE
APOSTLES PREACHING AND TEACHING.
00:09:07.88\00:09:10.58
WHILE HE WAS STILL ALIVE
JESUS SENT THEM ON MISSIONARY
00:09:10.61\00:09:12.98
ENDEAVORS AND IT SAYS THEY CAME
BACK AND SAID, 'PRAISE THE LORD,
00:09:13.01\00:09:16.48
EVEN THE DEVILS ARE SUBJECT
TO US.' AND DON'T THINK FOR A
00:09:16.52\00:09:19.29
MOMENT THAT JUDAS
WASN'T INSPIRED AT MOMENTS.
00:09:19.32\00:09:23.79
AND - BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU READ IN
THE BIBLE THAT AT ONE POINT THE
00:09:23.83\00:09:29.16
HOLY SPIRIT LEFT JUDAS AND HE
COMMITTED THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.
00:09:29.20\00:09:35.17
YOU CAN ALSO READ ABOUT
DEMAS, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:09:35.20\00:09:38.34
PAUL SAID, 'DEMAS HAS FORSAKEN
ME, HAVING LOVED THIS PRESENT
00:09:38.37\00:09:40.74
WORLD.' AND SO, I'M NOT SAYING
THAT TO FRIGHTEN YOU, IT'S JUST
00:09:40.78\00:09:43.88
REALLY - IT'S AN IMPORTANT
WARNING THAT WE OUGHT TO BE
00:09:43.91\00:09:48.62
AWARE THAT YES, ONCE YOU'RE
SAVED YOU CAN BE SPIRIT-FILLED,
00:09:48.65\00:09:51.49
YOU CAN BE SAVED, BUT THAT
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND THE
00:09:51.52\00:09:54.19
HOLY SPIRIT MUST BE NURTURED.
IF YOU PERSIST IN REBELLION,
00:09:54.22\00:09:57.26
WHAT HAPPENED TO
SAUL CAN HAPPEN TO YOU.
00:09:57.29\00:09:59.89
WHAT HAPPENED TO SAMSON AND
BALAAM AND JUDAS CAN HAPPEN TO
00:09:59.93\00:10:03.13
YOU. NOW SAMSON, HE
REPENTED AT THE END.
00:10:03.16\00:10:06.20
>>AMEN. >>SAUL DID NOT.
00:10:06.23\00:10:09.10
NOW, THIS THEN BEGS
ANOTHER IMPORTANT QUESTION.
00:10:09.14\00:10:13.38
THE WORDING HERE THAT YOU FIND
IS A LITTLE BIT CONCERNING FOR
00:10:13.41\00:10:17.15
SOME PEOPLE. YOU NOTICE WHAT IT
SAYS IN VERSE 14? IT SAYS, "BUT
00:10:17.18\00:10:20.28
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD DEPARTED
FROM SAUL, AND A DISTRESSING
00:10:20.32\00:10:23.49
SPIRIT FROM THE LORD TROUBLED
HIM." A DISTRESSING SPIRIT FROM
00:10:23.52\00:10:28.56
THE LORD? DOES
GOD SEND EVIL SPIRITS?
00:10:28.59\00:10:32.09
THIS IS A PASSAGE THAT
OFTEN MAKES PEOPLE WONDER.
00:10:32.13\00:10:34.60
WELL SOME OF THIS ACTUALLY
COMES FROM THE WAY THAT THE OLD
00:10:34.63\00:10:38.67
TESTAMENT - THE HEBREWS
UNDERSTOOD THAT GOD IS ALL
00:10:38.70\00:10:41.47
SOVEREIGN - AND HE IS - AND
SO THE DEVIL CAN'T DO ANYTHING
00:10:41.50\00:10:45.71
WITHOUT THE LORD AT
LEAST LOOSENING HIS LEASH.
00:10:45.74\00:10:49.78
HE HAS TO GIVE HIM PERMISSION
AS IN THE STORY OF JOB.
00:10:49.81\00:10:54.08
IT SAYS THAT GOD SAID TO THE
DEVIL - IT WAS THE DEVIL THAT
00:10:54.12\00:10:57.15
HARASSED JOB, NOT THE LORD, BUT
GOD HAD TO SAY, 'ALRIGHT, I'M
00:10:57.19\00:11:00.56
GOING TO GIVE YOU A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF LIBERTY, BUT THERE'S
00:11:00.59\00:11:03.73
LIMITS.' THAT REMINDS ME OF THE
VERSE THAT YOU FIND WHERE PAUL
00:11:03.76\00:11:08.36
SAYS, IN 1 CORINTHIANS 10, 'GOD
IS FAITHFUL WHO WILL NOT ALLOW
00:11:08.40\00:11:12.30
YOU TO BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT
YOU'RE ABLE.' GOD MUST ALLOW
00:11:12.33\00:11:16.74
LIMITS ON TEMPTATION,
BUT DOES GOD TEMPT? NO.
00:11:16.77\00:11:21.41
I WANT TO READ ANOTHER VERSE -
JAMES 1:13, "LET NO ONE SAY WHEN
00:11:21.44\00:11:25.68
HE IS TEMPTED, 'I AM TEMPTED BY
GOD'; FOR GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED
00:11:25.71\00:11:30.32
BY EVIL, NOR DOES HE
HIMSELF TEMPT ANYONE."
00:11:30.35\00:11:34.79
SO, IS THAT CLEAR? >>AMEN.
00:11:34.82\00:11:36.46
>>GOD DOESN'T TEMPT ANYONE AND
GOD WILL MEASURE - HE'LL MAKE
00:11:36.49\00:11:39.83
SURE THAT THE DEVIL IS NOT
ALLOWED TO TEMPT YOU ABOVE WHAT
00:11:39.86\00:11:43.30
YOU'RE ABLE. SO DON'T
EVER SAY, 'OH, LORD, I
00:11:43.33\00:11:45.83
GAVE IN BECAUSE I JUST COULDN'T
HELP IT.' YES YOU CAN, BECAUSE
00:11:45.87\00:11:49.30
GOD PROMISES THAT HE'S NOT GOING
TO TEMPT YOU ABOVE WHAT YOU'RE
00:11:49.34\00:11:52.04
ABLE TO RESIST
WITH HIS POWER, AMEN?
00:11:52.07\00:11:55.48
IF YOU'LL ACCESS THE
POWER THAT HE MAKES AVAILABLE.
00:11:55.51\00:11:59.71
SO, YOU CAN ALSO SEE ANOTHER
EXAMPLE, WHEN ALL THESE FALSE
00:11:59.75\00:12:05.45
PROPHETS HAD GATHERED BEFORE
KING JEHOSHAPHAT AND AHAB, AND
00:12:05.49\00:12:11.06
MICAIAH THE PROPHET SAID -
AND THIS IS 1 KINGS 22:23 -
00:12:11.09\00:12:16.00
"THEREFORE LOOK! THE
LORD HAS PUT A LYING SPIRIT
00:12:16.03\00:12:19.00
IN THE MOUTH OF ALL THESE
PROPHETS OF YOURS, AND THE LORD
00:12:19.03\00:12:22.24
HAS DECLARED
DISASTER AGAINST YOU."
00:12:22.27\00:12:24.11
- THE LORD PUT A LYING SPIRIT?
NO, WHEN YOU READ THE WHOLE
00:12:24.14\00:12:27.21
STORY IT SAYS THAT GOD
ALLOWED THESE SPIRITS TO GO TO
00:12:27.24\00:12:32.01
AHAB AND DECEIVE HIM.
GOD DIDN'T SEND THE SPIRITS,
00:12:32.05\00:12:35.95
THE SPIRITS WENT OF THEIR OWN
VOLITION. YOU SEE, GOD IS ALWAYS
00:12:35.98\00:12:38.25
PROTECTING US. GOD HAS A HEDGE
ABOUT US, BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S
00:12:38.29\00:12:40.49
A BREAK IN THE
HEDGE IF WE REJECT GOD.
00:12:40.52\00:12:44.93
LET ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE
VERSE JUST TO TIE THAT OFF.
00:12:44.96\00:12:48.13
I WANT TO MAKE SURE
EVERYONE'S CLEAR ON THIS.
00:12:48.16\00:12:49.83
2 THESSALONIANS 2, VERSE 9 -
2 THESSALONIANS 2, VERSE 9, "THE
00:12:49.86\00:12:55.20
COMING OF THE LAWLESS ONE
IS ACCORDING TO THE WORKING OF
00:12:55.24\00:12:58.91
SATAN, WITH ALL POWER, SIGNS,
AND LYING WONDERS," - THAT'S
00:12:58.94\00:13:02.44
THAT LYING SPIRIT - IT
SAYS 'THREE UNCLEAN SPIRITS LIKE
00:13:02.48\00:13:05.41
DEVILS GO FORTH TO THE KINGS
OF THE EARTH TO DECEIVE' - "AND
00:13:05.45\00:13:10.19
WITH ALL UNRIGHTEOUS DECEPTION
AMONG THOSE WHO PERISH," - WHY?
00:13:10.22\00:13:14.19
HERE'S THE PART - "BECAUSE THEY
DID NOT RECEIVE THE LOVE OF THE
00:13:14.22\00:13:18.66
TRUTH, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED.
AND FOR THIS REASON GOD WILL
00:13:18.69\00:13:22.66
SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION, THAT
THEY SHOULD BELIEVE THE LIE,
00:13:22.70\00:13:28.07
THAT THEY ALL MAY BE CONDEMNED
WHO DID NOT BELIEVE THE
00:13:28.10\00:13:29.87
TRUTH BUT HAD
PLEASURE IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS."
00:13:29.90\00:13:31.61
DO YOU SEE HOW IT WORKS?
GOD GIVES YOU THE HOLY SPIRIT -
00:13:31.64\00:13:34.91
WELCOME, NURTURE THE HOLY SPIRIT
- REJECT THE HOLY SPIRIT, THERE
00:13:34.94\00:13:38.35
IS A VACUUM THAT
THE DEVIL WILL FILL.
00:13:38.38\00:13:43.45
YOU KNOW, IF IT RAINS ON GOOD
SOIL, SOMETHING'S GOING TO GROW.
00:13:43.49\00:13:46.29
IF YOU DON'T NURTURE WHAT GROWS,
YOU'RE GOING TO GET WEEDS, BUT
00:13:46.32\00:13:49.52
SOMETHING'S GOING TO - YOUR
HEART IS NOT A VACUUM AND, IF
00:13:49.56\00:13:52.39
YOU DON'T HAVE GOD AND HIS
SPIRIT INSIDE, THERE'S ONLY ONE
00:13:52.43\00:13:54.86
OTHER ALTERNATIVE. AND
YOU REMEMBER READING THE
00:13:54.93\00:13:58.17
STORY WHERE JESUS SAID THIS MAN
HAD THE EVIL SPIRITS CAST OUT -
00:13:58.20\00:14:02.64
AN EVIL SPIRIT CAST OUT, BUT HE
DID NOT REPLACE IT WITH ANYTHING
00:14:02.67\00:14:05.41
GOOD AND THE EVIL SPIRIT CAME
BACK AND SAID, 'LOOK, MY HOUSE
00:14:05.44\00:14:07.84
IS EMPTY' - IT'S SWEPT AND
VACUUMED AND HE BROUGHT SEVEN
00:14:07.88\00:14:10.65
OTHER SPIRITS WORSE THAN
THE FIRST. SO IT'S NOT NEUTRAL.
00:14:10.68\00:14:16.35
THERE'S NO SWITZERLAND IN THIS
BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL
00:14:16.38\00:14:19.45
THAT YOU COULD SAY, 'I JUST WANT
TO - I'M GOING TO SIT ON THE
00:14:19.49\00:14:21.56
SIDELINES. I DON'T
WANT TO BE INVOLVED.'
00:14:21.59\00:14:23.63
JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU'RE
NOT WITH ME YOU'RE AGAINST ME.
00:14:23.66\00:14:26.73
AND SO, WHEN THE SPIRIT OF
THE LORD LEFT SAUL, WHAT'S LEFT?
00:14:26.76\00:14:30.73
IF DARKNESS SHOULD
LEAVE THIS ROOM, WHAT HAPPENS?
00:14:30.77\00:14:33.23
I'M SORRY, NO, IF LIGHT LEAVES
THIS ROOM DARKNESS COMES IN.
00:14:33.27\00:14:36.91
IF YOU WANT TO GET THE DARKNESS
OUT, YOU DON'T USE A SNOW
00:14:36.94\00:14:39.34
SHOVEL, YOU SIMPLY BRING IN THE
LIGHT, THE DARKNESS GOES OUT.
00:14:39.37\00:14:43.45
AND OUR HEARTS ARE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
00:14:43.48\00:14:44.98
THEY'RE NEVER JUST NEUTRAL.
00:14:45.01\00:14:47.12
SO, AS A RESULT OF THIS, SAUL
IS - HE'S TERRIBLY TROUBLED.
00:14:47.15\00:14:51.19
I AGREE WITH WHAT JOSEPHUS SAID
- HE BECAME JEALOUS, HE BECAME
00:14:51.22\00:14:54.56
RAGING, HE BECAME - YOU KNOW,
ONE REASON - SAMUEL HAD GONE TO
00:14:54.59\00:14:58.66
KING SAUL AND SAID, 'BECAUSE OF
YOUR UNFAITHFULNESS I'M TAKING
00:14:58.69\00:15:02.73
THE KINGDOM FROM YOU AND FROM
YOUR DYNASTY AND I'M GOING TO
00:15:02.76\00:15:06.17
GIVE IT TO YOUR
NEIGHBOR WHO'S BETTER THAN YOU.
00:15:06.20\00:15:08.60
THE LORD HAS SOUGHT OUT A
MAN WHOSE HEART IS AFTER HIS OWN
00:15:08.64\00:15:11.77
HEART.' NOW, WHAT IS SAUL
THINKING? 'SOMEWHERE OUT THERE
00:15:11.81\00:15:16.34
IN MY KINGDOM, IS MY
REPLACEMENT.' AND HE WAS
00:15:16.38\00:15:20.35
BROODING AND HE WAS JEALOUS AND
HE - INSTEAD OF REPENTING AND
00:15:20.38\00:15:24.09
HUMBLING HIMSELF, HE TRIED
TO STOP IT FROM HAPPENING AND HE
00:15:24.12\00:15:28.36
WAS FRETFUL AND HE JUST
HAD TOTALLY THE WRONG ATTITUDE.
00:15:28.39\00:15:33.03
HE WAS BLAMING GOD AND SAYING,
'THIS ISN'T FAIR' AND 'IT'S MY
00:15:33.06\00:15:35.40
PREROGATIVE TO BE KING' AND -
WHO KNOWS WHAT HE WAS THINKING,
00:15:35.43\00:15:39.33
BUT AN EVIL SPIRIT
HAD COME INTO HIS MIND.
00:15:39.37\00:15:42.47
AND IT MIGHT NOT
HAVE BEEN ALL PHYSICAL.
00:15:42.50\00:15:47.74
SOMETIMES CIRCUMSTANCES CAN
TRY UPON YOU AND STRESSES AND
00:15:47.78\00:15:50.95
DIFFERENT THINGS, AND IT MAY
NOT HAVE BEEN ALL SPIRITUAL, BUT
00:15:50.98\00:15:55.92
IT'S LIKE THERE'S THIS OLD
PROVERB THAT SAYS SATAN LIKES TO
00:15:55.95\00:15:58.39
FISH IN TROUBLED WATERS.
SAUL HAD BECOME SO TROUBLED BY
00:15:58.42\00:16:04.26
THESE THINGS THAT IT
GAVE THE DEVIL AN ADVANTAGE.
00:16:04.29\00:16:07.30
AND SO SOME DEMONIC HARASSMENT
TAKES ADVANTAGE OF PHYSICAL
00:16:07.36\00:16:11.77
WEAKNESS. THAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT. DID YOU CATCH THAT?
00:16:11.80\00:16:15.10
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
HARASSED BY THE DEVIL AND THE
00:16:15.14\00:16:18.87
DEVIL MAKES THE MOST OF WHAT MAY
BE PHYSICAL OR MENTAL WEAKNESSES
00:16:18.91\00:16:24.18
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.
IS THAT TRUE? >>YES.
00:16:24.21\00:16:27.25
>>I BELIEVE SO. SO
WHAT'S THE FALLOUT FROM THIS?
00:16:27.28\00:16:31.32
HIS SERVANTS SEE THAT SAUL IS
BROODING AND HE'S DIFFICULT AND
00:16:31.35\00:16:34.72
HE'S UNHAPPY AND HE'S KIND OF
- HE GOES INTO FITS AND HE SEEMS
00:16:34.76\00:16:37.33
LIKE HE - HE'S LOST HIS
CONFIDENCE, HE'S LOST HIS
00:16:37.36\00:16:39.89
COURAGE - AND IT SAYS, "THEN ONE
OF THE SERVANTS" - I'M IN VERSE
00:16:39.93\00:16:44.03
18 - "ANSWERED AND SAID, 'LOOK,
I HAVE SEEN A SON OF JESSE THE
00:16:44.07\00:16:49.00
BETHLEHEMITE," - LOOK AT THE
IRONY OF GOD - "WHO IS SKILLFUL
00:16:49.04\00:16:55.08
IN PLAYING," - THIS IS THE FIRST
REFERENCE WE HEAR THAT HE'S
00:16:55.11\00:16:58.35
SKILLFUL IN PLAYING,
IN PARTICULAR, THE HARP.
00:16:58.38\00:17:01.02
WE'VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF
AN ANCIENT HARP UP HERE - ONE OF
00:17:01.05\00:17:05.12
THE SONS OF JESSE -
"...SKILLFUL IN PLAYING," - NOW
00:17:05.15\00:17:07.92
LISTEN TO THIS - WHAT A
WONDERFUL RECOMMENDATION IS
00:17:07.96\00:17:11.56
GIVEN HERE - "A MIGHTY MAN OF
VALOR, A MAN OF WAR, PRUDENT IN
00:17:11.59\00:17:19.80
SPEECH, AND A HANDSOME PERSON;
AND THE LORD IS WITH HIM."
00:17:19.83\00:17:25.27
WOW, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO
HAVE A RECOMMENDATION LIKE THAT?
00:17:25.31\00:17:29.51
HE'S TALENTED, BRAVE, PATRIOTIC
- MATTER OF FACT, I HEARD ONE
00:17:29.54\00:17:34.32
PASTOR SUM IT UP THIS WAY:
IT TALKS ABOUT HIS PERSON, HIS
00:17:34.35\00:17:36.95
PASTIME - MUSIC - HIS
PATRIOTISM - HE'S FROM BETHLEHEM
00:17:36.99\00:17:39.92
- HIS PRUDENCE, HIS PIETY, HIS
POWER - IT TALKS ABOUT ALL THIS
00:17:39.95\00:17:43.69
IN ONE VERSE ABOUT
DAVID. NOW, EVEN THOUGH DAVID IS
00:17:43.73\00:17:47.40
KEEPING SHEEP, YOU'LL NOTICE WE
DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME PASSED
00:17:47.40\00:17:50.93
BETWEEN THE SPIRIT FILLING DAVID
AND AN EVIL SPIRIT FILLING SAUL.
00:17:50.97\00:17:56.10
MONTHS, MAYBE EVEN YEARS WENT
BY - DAVID JUST STAYED WITH THE
00:17:56.14\00:17:59.07
SHEEP AND HE WAS
WAITING ON GOD'S TIMING.
00:17:59.11\00:18:01.38
SOME TIME DURING THE COURSE OF
WHEN DAVID'S TAKING CARE OF THE
00:18:01.41\00:18:04.55
SHEEP, A BEAR COMES, A LION
COMES - WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT
00:18:04.58\00:18:08.18
MORE NEXT WEEK - WORD GOT
OUT THIS IS A BRAVE YOUNG MAN.
00:18:08.22\00:18:11.89
NOW, I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE
WONDERING, YOU KNOW, THAT SONG
00:18:11.92\00:18:17.03
ONLY A BOY NAMED DAVID ?
AND HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN
00:18:17.06\00:18:20.16
ILLUSTRATIONS OF DAVID AND
GOLIATH WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT
00:18:20.20\00:18:22.93
LOOKS LIKE DAVID IS
ABOUT EIGHT YEARS OLD?
00:18:22.96\00:18:25.27
THAT'S GREAT FOR TEACHING
SABBATH SCHOOL, BUT IT'S NOT
00:18:25.30\00:18:30.44
ACCURATE. SEE, IN
THE HEBREW LAW, YOU
00:18:30.47\00:18:35.88
COULD NOT BE A SOLDIER -
COULDN'T EVEN BE A SOLDIER
00:18:35.91\00:18:38.05
UNTIL YOU WERE TWENTY. IN
A LOT OF COUNTRIES THEY NEED
00:18:38.08\00:18:40.75
ALL THE MILITARY THEY CAN
GET AND THEY SAY EIGHTEEN.
00:18:40.78\00:18:44.02
AND THE MORE DESPERATE THEY
GET - DURING THE CIVIL WAR THERE
00:18:44.05\00:18:47.76
WERE 14-YEAR-OLDS THAT WENT OUT
THERE. AND WHEN HITLER'S FORCES
00:18:47.79\00:18:51.16
WERE JUST DECIMATED, THEY HAD
THE HITLER YOUTH AND HITLER WAS
00:18:51.19\00:18:54.73
SENDING OUT 12-YEAR-OLDS TO
FIGHT AND DEFEND THE HOMELAND -
00:18:54.73\00:18:59.73
AND THEY KEPT LOWERING THE AGE.
BUT, YOU KNOW, GOD REALIZED THAT
00:18:59.77\00:19:02.84
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF FUZZ ON YOUR CHIN BEFORE YOU
00:19:02.87\00:19:06.47
CAN GO, YOU KNOW, BE PART OF
THE SOLDIER - THE ARMY - AND SO
00:19:06.51\00:19:10.35
DAVID WASN'T QUITE TWENTY
YET, BUT HE WASN'T TWELVE.
00:19:10.38\00:19:14.82
THERE'S A LOT OF DEBATE,
WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW LONG SAUL
00:19:14.85\00:19:17.72
REIGNED, HOW OLD SAMUEL WAS
- THERE ARE SOME - IT TELLS US
00:19:17.75\00:19:20.52
DAVID WAS THIRTY WHEN HE BEGAN
TO REIGN - AND YOU DO SOME OF
00:19:20.56\00:19:23.06
THE MATH AND - I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO MAP THAT ALL OUT FOR YOU, BUT
00:19:23.09\00:19:27.86
I THINK THE EVIDENCE IS PRETTY
GOOD THAT DAVID WAS PROBABLY
00:19:27.93\00:19:30.63
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 17
AND 19 AT THIS POINT.
00:19:30.67\00:19:34.90
AND HE RAN FROM SAUL FOR SEVERAL
YEARS AND HE FINALLY GETS
00:19:34.94\00:19:37.91
CORONATED WHEN HE'S THIRTY, BUT
DAVID HAD ALREADY DEMONSTRATED
00:19:37.94\00:19:43.41
SOME VALOR AND IT
SAYS HE'S A MIGHTY MAN.
00:19:43.45\00:19:46.41
HE, YOU KNOW, HE WAS AT THE
VERGE WHERE HE WAS BEING CALLED
00:19:46.45\00:19:49.25
A MAN, BUT HE WASN'T A
LITTLE BOY AT THIS POINT.
00:19:49.28\00:19:53.76
SO, IT TELLS US THAT HE WAS
TALENTED, HE WAS MUSICAL - AND
00:19:53.79\00:19:59.43
HE DIDN'T JUST HAVE
THE ABILITY TO PLAY MUSIC.
00:19:59.46\00:20:02.33
IT SAYS HE'S SKILLFUL.
NOW, EVERYBODY LOVES MUSIC AND
00:20:02.36\00:20:07.14
WE'RE GOING TO SPEND
SOME TIME TALKING ABOUT MUSIC.
00:20:07.17\00:20:09.07
AND I'M JUST WONDERING, HOW
MANY OF YOU OUT THERE PLAY AN
00:20:09.10\00:20:11.81
INSTRUMENT? LET
ME SEE YOUR HANDS.
00:20:11.84\00:20:14.24
HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE TO SING?
HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE TO SING
00:20:14.28\00:20:17.58
BUT YOU DON'T SING VERY WELL?
(LAUGHTER) HEARD ABOUT THIS
00:20:17.61\00:20:22.82
LADY AND, FOR HER
DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY, SHE BOUGHT
00:20:22.85\00:20:25.42
HER PIANO LESSONS. AND A
FEW DAYS LATER HER FRIEND
00:20:25.45\00:20:30.66
CAME OVER AND SAID, 'HOW ARE
YOUR DAUGHTER'S LESSONS GOING?'
00:20:30.69\00:20:33.19
AND SHE SAID, 'WELL, I BOUGHT
HER A CLARINET.' AND SHE SAID,
00:20:33.23\00:20:36.36
'WELL, I THOUGHT SHE WAS DOING
OKAY WITH THE PIANO.' SHE SAID,
00:20:36.40\00:20:38.43
'SHE WAS, BUT SHE CAN'T SING
WITH THE CLARINET.' (LAUGHTER)
00:20:38.47\00:20:44.14
SHE HAD THE GIFT OF
PIANO, BUT NOT SINGING.
00:20:44.17\00:20:48.18
SO HE SAYS, 'ALRIGHT, SEND FOR
DAVID.' AND SO, LISTEN TO WHAT
00:20:48.21\00:20:53.28
HAPPENS NEXT HERE - 1 SAMUEL
16 - "THEREFORE, SAUL SENT
00:20:53.31\00:20:57.95
MESSENGERS TO JESSE," - NOW
DID JESSE KNOW ABOUT DAVID BEING
00:20:57.99\00:21:02.42
ANOINTED KING? HE
DID, BECAUSE SAMUEL HAD TO
00:21:02.46\00:21:05.03
COME AND GET HIS PERMISSION
- GATHER ALL HIS KIDS - AND IT
00:21:05.06\00:21:07.10
SAYS, 'IN THE MIDST OF HIS
BRETHREN HE WAS ANOINTED' - THE
00:21:07.13\00:21:10.23
BROTHERS KNEW, THE FATHER KNEW,
THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY - AND THEY
00:21:10.27\00:21:13.54
PROBABLY HAD TO KEEP THAT
REAL LOW KEY BECAUSE IT'S A
00:21:13.57\00:21:17.27
THREAT TO THE KINGDOM. AND
THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THAT
00:21:17.31\00:21:21.41
MESSENGER COMES FROM
THE PALACE, 'SEND ME DAVID'.
00:21:21.44\00:21:26.05
NOW, IF YOU'RE
JESSE, WOULD YOU BE NERVOUS?
00:21:26.08\00:21:28.58
'UH OH, DID SOMEBODY
LEAK SOME INFORMATION?
00:21:28.62\00:21:31.59
HOW DID HE FIND OUT ABOUT DAVID?
IS HE GOING TO BE EXECUTED?'
00:21:31.62\00:21:37.06
AND SO JESSE'S A LITTLE WORRIED.
IT SAYS, "SEND ME YOUR SON" -
00:21:37.09\00:21:41.63
WHEN SOMEONE SAYS, 'GIVE ME YOUR
SON' TO A FATHER, ESPECIALLY A
00:21:41.66\00:21:45.43
KING THAT'S NOT BALANCED, DID
OUR FATHER SEND HIS SON INTO A
00:21:45.47\00:21:50.61
WORLD THAT IS RULED BY A
KING THAT IS NOT BALANCED?
00:21:50.64\00:21:53.71
JESUS IS THE SON
OF DAVID, ISN'T HE?
00:21:53.74\00:21:57.21
"SEND ME YOUR SON
DAVID, WHO IS WITH THE SHEEP."
00:21:57.25\00:22:00.98
- YOU KNOW HOW OFTEN WE NOTICE
THAT DAVID IS WITH THE SHEEP?
00:22:01.02\00:22:03.39
HE KEEPS GOING BACK
AND TAKING CARE OF SHEEP.
00:22:03.42\00:22:04.99
I COUNT AT LEAST THREE TIMES
IT SAYS DAVID WENT BACK TO THE
00:22:05.02\00:22:07.29
SHEEP. HE TOOK
CARE OF THE SHEEP.
00:22:07.32\00:22:10.33
HE WAS A GOOD
SHEPHERD. JESUS CALLS HIMSELF
00:22:10.36\00:22:12.66
THE GOOD SHEPHERD. AND,
AS WE GO THROUGH OUR SERIES
00:22:12.69\00:22:14.93
ON DAVID, I'M GOING TO OFTEN
HIGHLIGHT THE PARALLELS BETWEEN
00:22:14.93\00:22:18.67
DAVID AND JESUS,
THE SON OF DAVID.
00:22:18.70\00:22:23.17
HE SAID, 'SEND ME DAVID' - AND
WHEN JESSE HEARS THAT HE SAYS,
00:22:23.20\00:22:28.28
'OH, I BETTER SEND A GIFT
IN CASE HE'S HEARD SOMETHING.
00:22:28.31\00:22:31.31
I WANT TO - AND IT SAYS "AND
JESSE TOOK A DONKEY LOADED WITH
00:22:31.35\00:22:35.62
BREAD, A SKIN OF WINE, AND A
YOUNG GOAT, AND SENT THEM BY HIS
00:22:35.65\00:22:41.02
SON DAVID TO SAUL." SO
HERE DAVID COMES AND HE'S GOT
00:22:41.06\00:22:45.33
BREAD AND WINE AND A
SACRIFICE. YOU KNOW WHAT WAS
00:22:45.36\00:22:50.40
AT THE LAST SUPPER?
JESUS SAID, 'THERE'S BREAD' -
00:22:50.43\00:22:54.54
WHEN THEY FINISHED THE PASSOVER,
THE SACRIFICE - AND THERE WAS A
00:22:54.57\00:22:58.17
THE GRAPE JUICE THERE - THE
WINE. AND SO HERE'S DAVID, THE
00:22:58.21\00:23:00.58
SON OF JESSE, AND HE'S
COMING AND HE'S BRINGING THESE
00:23:00.61\00:23:03.88
OFFERINGS TO THE PALACE.
NOW THE IRONY - YOU JUST HAVE TO
00:23:03.91\00:23:08.15
STOP AND - THE REASON THE STORY
OF DAVID IS SO GREAT - IT'S LIKE
00:23:08.18\00:23:11.42
THE STORY OF JOSEPH - IT'S LIKE
THE LAST THING YOU'D EXPECT.
00:23:11.45\00:23:14.36
HE COMES TO BETHLEHEM TO ANOINT
A KING AND THE LAST ONE THEY
00:23:14.39\00:23:18.53
WOULD EXPECT IS
THE ONE THAT IS CHOSEN.
00:23:18.56\00:23:21.66
AND THEN, THE IRONY THAT SAUL
NEEDS TO FIND SOMEBODY TO HELP
00:23:21.70\00:23:26.87
HIM WITH HIS MENTAL DISTRESS
AND, OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE
00:23:26.90\00:23:30.84
KINGDOM WHOM HE MIGHT HAVE
CALLED UPON - THAT HAD PH.D.S
00:23:30.87\00:23:33.91
THAT COULD COUNSEL HIM, OR
SKILLED MUSICIANS THAT COULD
00:23:33.94\00:23:37.21
PLAY FOR HIM, GUESS WHO
GETS INVITED TO THE PALACE.
00:23:37.25\00:23:43.32
GOD'S PROVIDENCE
IS AMAZING, ISN'T IT?
00:23:43.35\00:23:45.65
HOW HE WORKS THINGS OUT - AND SO
DAVID IS CALLED, OF ALL PEOPLE,
00:23:45.69\00:23:48.56
AND - NOW DAVID MUST BE
TIPTOEING IN AND HE MUST HAVE
00:23:48.59\00:23:53.50
BEEN VERY
CAUTIOUS AND VERY CAREFUL.
00:23:53.53\00:23:55.50
SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO
RUSH PAST: WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
00:23:55.53\00:23:58.47
RECOMMENDATION THAT'S GIVEN
EARLIER, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT
00:23:58.50\00:24:01.27
DAVID, NOT ONLY DID IT SAY THAT
HE WAS A MAN OF WAR, PRUDENT IN
00:24:01.30\00:24:06.81
SPEECH - NOW, YOU WOULD THINK
A SHEPHERD BOY, BEING ARTICULATE
00:24:06.84\00:24:11.78
AND CHOOSING HIS WORDS CAREFULLY
AND HAVING A GOOD VOCABULARY -
00:24:11.81\00:24:17.29
USUALLY YOU DON'T THINK OF
A SHEPHERD THAT WAY, RIGHT?
00:24:17.32\00:24:19.52
USUALLY THINK OF A SHEPHERD
AS BEING UNEDUCATED AND NOT VERY
00:24:19.55\00:24:23.09
ARTICULATE. BUT,
JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE
00:24:23.12\00:24:26.09
A SHEPHERD BACK THEN - AS I
MENTIONED, AND THEY MAY HAVE
00:24:26.13\00:24:28.43
BEEN A POOR FAMILY, BUT JESSE
WAS A LEADER IN THE COMMUNITY.
00:24:28.46\00:24:32.13
THEY READ THE
SCRIPTURES IN THEIR FAMILY.
00:24:32.17\00:24:36.00
THEY COMMUNICATED WELL.
YOU LOOK AT THE PSALMS THAT
00:24:36.04\00:24:38.71
DAVID WRITES AND YOU FIND OUT
THAT HE HAD A TREMENDOUS - HE
00:24:38.74\00:24:41.58
WAS A POET - HE HAD A
TREMENDOUS GRASP OF LANGUAGE.
00:24:41.61\00:24:45.85
HE COMMUNICATED AND HE
ARTICULATED HIMSELF BEAUTIFULLY.
00:24:45.88\00:24:51.12
AND THEY SAID, 'THERE'S A YOUNG
MAN, HE HAS AN INCREDIBLE GIFT
00:24:51.15\00:24:53.52
OF SPEECH' - AND IT ALSO SAYS
HE'S A GOOD-LOOKING YOUNG MAN
00:24:53.56\00:24:56.46
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT WAS
TYPICAL IN ANCIENT KINGDOMS,
00:24:56.49\00:24:59.39
THAT THEY BRING INTO THEIR
PALACE PEOPLE THAT LOOK GOOD.
00:24:59.43\00:25:03.80
AND I KNOW TODAY WE WOULD CALL
THAT DISCRIMINATION, BUT IF YOU
00:25:03.83\00:25:06.43
WANT TO KNOW THE
TRUTH, THEY DID IT.
00:25:06.47\00:25:09.00
WHEN KINGS AND QUEENS BROUGHT
DIFFERENT COURTIERS AND PEOPLE
00:25:09.04\00:25:12.37
INTO THEIR PALACES THEY SAID,
'THEY WOULD LOOK GOOD IN THE
00:25:12.41\00:25:15.34
PALACE.' THEY WANTED THE BEST
PEOPLE BECAUSE OTHER DIGNITARIES
00:25:15.38\00:25:19.38
WOULD COME AND
THEY'D SAY, 'WOW!'
00:25:19.41\00:25:21.38
IT'S LIKE WHEN THE QUEEN OF
SHEBA CAME TO SOLOMON, SHE SAID
00:25:21.42\00:25:23.25
WHEN SHE SAW HIS SERVANTS AND
THEIR CLOTHING SHE WAS BREATH
00:25:23.28\00:25:28.59
TAKEN - BREATHLESS IS THE WAY IT
TRANSLATES - NO MORE SPIRIT LEFT
00:25:28.62\00:25:32.99
IN HER. AND SO
THEY WANTED TO BRING THE
00:25:33.03\00:25:35.06
GOOD-LOOKING PEOPLE AND THE
ARTICULATE - PEOPLE THAT COULD
00:25:35.10\00:25:37.53
COMMUNICATE IN THE PALACE, THAT
WOULD NOT EMBARRASS THE CROWN.
00:25:37.57\00:25:40.47
AND SO, THEY ALSO
RECOMMENDED DAVID THAT WAY.
00:25:40.50\00:25:42.80
SO DAVID COMES TO SAUL, HE
BRINGS THIS GIFT, AND THEN IN
00:25:42.84\00:25:48.98
THE PALACE - YOU READ 1 SAMUEL
16, VERSE 21, "SO DAVID CAME TO
00:25:49.01\00:25:52.61
SAUL AND STOOD BEFORE HIM.
AND" - IT SAYS - "HE" - SAUL
00:25:52.65\00:25:57.55
- "LOVED HIM GREATLY," - SAUL
LOOKED AT HIM - NOW, I DON'T
00:25:57.59\00:25:59.45
THINK HE SPENT A LOT OF TIME
TALKING TO HIM, AS YOU'LL SEE
00:25:59.49\00:26:01.29
LATER, BUT HE LOOKED AT HIM AND
SAID, 'WHAT A FINE-LOOKING YOUNG
00:26:01.32\00:26:04.73
MAN.' AND HE HEARD HIM
TALK - HE SAID, 'HE'S A VERY
00:26:04.76\00:26:09.30
ARTICULATE YOUNG MAN.
HE SEEMS WISE, HE SEEMS TO
00:26:09.33\00:26:11.13
CONDUCT HIMSELF WELL, AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY HE CAN PLAY.' AND IT
00:26:11.17\00:26:16.91
SAYS - FINALLY, WHEN HE SAW HIM
AND MAYBE HE HEARD HIM AUDITION,
00:26:16.94\00:26:21.81
HE SENDS A MESSAGE BACK TO
JESSE, "PLEASE LET DAVID STAND
00:26:21.84\00:26:25.61
BEFORE ME, FOR HE HAS
FOUND FAVOR IN MY SIGHT."
00:26:25.65\00:26:30.55
NOW HERE, IT'S JUST -
YOU - IT'S SO AMAZING.
00:26:30.59\00:26:33.79
SAUL, WHEN HE'D HAVE HIS FITS OF
RAGE, HE WAS LOOKING OUT THERE,
00:26:33.82\00:26:37.86
SCANNING THE HORIZON, WONDERING
WHO, OUT THERE IN THE KINGDOM,
00:26:37.89\00:26:41.46
WAS THE ONE THAT WAS
GOING TO REPLACE HIM.
00:26:41.50\00:26:44.13
HE'D SAY, 'OH MAN, THIS
IS STARTING TO BOTHER ME.
00:26:44.17\00:26:46.07
DAVID, PLAY SOMETHING.'
(LAUGHTER) AND THE BOY, THE
00:26:46.10\00:26:51.61
SHEPHERD BOY WHOSE COME TO PLAY
THE HARP FOR HIM - LAST PERSON
00:26:51.64\00:26:54.78
IN THE WORLD THAT SAUL - AT
FIRST - THOUGHT MIGHT BE THE ONE
00:26:54.81\00:26:58.85
THAT WAS GOING TO BE HIS
REPLACEMENT, HE INVITES INTO THE
00:26:58.88\00:27:01.78
PALACE. ISN'T IT
AMAZING HOW GOD WORKS?
00:27:01.82\00:27:05.55
>>AMEN. >>SAUL'D
BE - HE'D BE PACING
00:27:05.59\00:27:08.56
BACK AND FORTH,
LOOKING OUT HIS WINDOW.
00:27:08.59\00:27:10.73
HE'D BE WONDERING, LOOKING
AT ALL THE DIGNITARIES AND THE
00:27:10.76\00:27:13.76
WARRIORS AND WONDERING WHO WAS
GOING TO REPLACE HIM AS KING AND
00:27:13.80\00:27:16.20
IT'D START BOTHERING HIM - HE'D
SAY, 'OH MAN, I'M JUST STRESSED
00:27:16.23\00:27:18.70
BY THIS SPIRIT
AND I'M DEPRESSED.
00:27:18.73\00:27:21.00
BRING IN DAVID.
HAVE HIM PLAY FOR ME.'
00:27:21.04\00:27:23.74
AND THERE HE WAS, THE ONE
THAT WAS GOING TO REPLACE HIM.
00:27:23.77\00:27:26.47
IT WAS THE MUSICIAN. IT
JUST - I DON'T KNOW, IS IT
00:27:26.51\00:27:31.25
JUST ME OR DOES -
THAT IRONY IS AMAZING.
00:27:31.28\00:27:34.65
SO DAVID CAME
AND STOOD BEFORE HIM.
00:27:34.68\00:27:37.39
AND THEN I WANT TO SPEND SOME
TIME ON THE LAST VERSE HERE - OR
00:27:37.42\00:27:41.46
ONE OF THE LAST VERSES - 1
SAMUEL 16, VERSES 14 TO 23, "AND
00:27:41.49\00:27:46.16
SO IT WAS, WHENEVER THE SPIRIT
FROM GOD WAS UPON SAUL," - IT'S
00:27:46.19\00:27:52.30
TALKING ABOUT THIS EVIL SPIRIT
WOULD COME, BECAUSE GOD HAD
00:27:52.33\00:27:54.54
GIVEN PERMISSION - HE WITHDREW
HIS PROTECTION AND THE EVIL
00:27:54.57\00:27:57.61
SPIRITS WOULD MAKE THE
MOST OF SAUL'S JEALOUSY AND HIS
00:27:57.64\00:28:02.61
INSECURITIES - THAT HE'D BEGIN
TO BROOD AND BECOME DEPRESSED
00:28:02.64\00:28:06.45
AND HE COULDN'T GET ANYTHING
DONE AND HE WOULDN'T GO FIGHT
00:28:06.48\00:28:08.45
HIS BATTLES AND HE'D JUST SIT
THERE AND PLAY DARTS WITH HIS
00:28:08.48\00:28:13.69
SPEAR - "THAT DAVID WOULD TAKE A
HARP AND PLAY IT WITH HIS HAND.
00:28:13.72\00:28:20.56
THEN SAUL WOULD BECOME REFRESHED
AND WELL, AND THE DISTRESSING
00:28:20.60\00:28:25.73
SPIRIT WOULD DEPART FROM HIM."
00:28:25.77\00:28:28.97
YOU KNOW, DAVID IS DESCRIBED
AS THE SWEET PSALMIST OF ISRAEL.
00:28:29.00\00:28:33.01
NOT ONLY COULD DAVID PLAY,
BUT DAVID COULD PLAY AND SING.
00:28:33.04\00:28:37.95
I USED TO TELL STEPHEN, WHEN
HE WAS TAKING PIANO LESSONS, I
00:28:37.98\00:28:40.55
SAID, 'YOU KNOW, I WISH
YOU'D ALSO TAKE UP THE PIA - THE
00:28:40.58\00:28:43.05
GUITAR BECAUSE YOU SING
BEAUTIFULLY AND YOU CAN'T CARRY
00:28:43.08\00:28:47.46
YOUR PIANO WITH YOU.' SORRY
MICHELLE, I LIKE THE GUITAR.
00:28:47.49\00:28:51.03
AND YOU CAN'T CARRY YOUR PIANO
AROUND WITH YOU EVERYWHERE.
00:28:51.06\00:28:54.73
AND IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING,
NATHAN TOOK GUITAR LESSONS BUT
00:28:54.73\00:28:59.00
NOW HE'S TAKING PIANO, AND LAST
TIME WE SAW STEPHEN, STEPHEN'S
00:28:59.03\00:29:02.14
PICKING UP THE GUITAR. AND
WE'RE LUCKY BECAUSE BOTH OF
00:29:02.17\00:29:06.17
OUR BOYS ARE GOOD LOOKING
AND THEY CAN SING AND PLAY - AND
00:29:06.21\00:29:08.74
THEY ARE SINGLE IF YOU WANT
TO KNOW - (LAUGHTER) - SINGLE
00:29:08.78\00:29:11.15
BATCHELORS OUT THERE. BUT
- SO DAVID COULD SING, BUT
00:29:11.18\00:29:19.02
WHAT WAS IT THAT HE DID SO
THAT AS HE'S SINGING THE EVIL
00:29:19.05\00:29:23.79
SPIRITS ARE DRIVEN FROM SAUL?
OR AT LEAST HE'S ALLEVIATED.
00:29:23.83\00:29:29.10
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO HEAR?
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A HUNDRED
00:29:29.13\00:29:31.33
AND FIFTY PSALMS OF
DAVID, SO YOU CAN READ THEM.
00:29:31.37\00:29:34.87
BUT, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE
WORDS AND THERE WAS MUSIC THAT
00:29:34.90\00:29:37.11
WENT WITH THEM AND
THERE WERE INTERLUDES.
00:29:37.14\00:29:39.27
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE READING IN
THE PSALMS YOU'LL NOTICE YOU RUN
00:29:39.31\00:29:43.48
INTO THE WORD 'SELAH',
RIGHT? YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
00:29:43.51\00:29:47.32
IT, BASICALLY MEANS, 'THINK
ON THIS' AND THEY BELIEVE THAT
00:29:47.35\00:29:49.95
THOSE WERE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT
THE PSALMS OF DAVID OR THE
00:29:49.98\00:29:54.02
PSALMS OF ASAPH AND THAT MEANT
'MEDITATION' - THINK ABOUT THIS
00:29:54.06\00:29:58.93
THIS - AND THAT MEANS THAT THERE
WAS A PAUSE - IT WAS LIKE A
00:29:58.96\00:30:01.16
MUSICAL INTERLUDE AT THAT POINT.
THE PROBLEM WAS THEY DIDN'T KNOW
00:30:01.20\00:30:05.23
HOW TO WRITE MUSIC THE WAY THAT
WAS DEVELOPED IN THE 15TH/16TH
00:30:05.27\00:30:10.04
CENTURY WITH ALL THE NOTES AND
DOTS. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN
00:30:10.07\00:30:12.91
THEY DEVELOPED THAT, BUT TO PUT
MUSIC DOWN AND - WHEN THE JEWS
00:30:12.94\00:30:18.15
WERE CONQUERED AND SCATTERED, A
LOT OF THOSE MELODIES WERE LOST.
00:30:18.18\00:30:20.88
AND MAYBE A FEW SONGS THAT
THE HEBREWS SING TODAY - THE
00:30:20.92\00:30:24.09
MELODIES GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO
THE TIME OF DAVID, BUT THERE'S
00:30:24.12\00:30:27.26
NOT MANY. AND SO,
WE DON'T REALLY KNOW.
00:30:27.29\00:30:31.16
BUT WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO HEAR?
WON'T IT BE FUN TO GET TO HEAVEN
00:30:31.19\00:30:33.63
AND SAY, 'I'D
LIKE TO GET DAVID'S CD.
00:30:33.66\00:30:36.23
I WANT TO HEAR DAVID PLAY THE
MUSIC THAT COULD DRIVE THE EVIL
00:30:36.26\00:30:42.90
SPIRITS FROM SAUL.' WOULDN'T YOU
LIKE TO HAVE JUST THAT KIND OF
00:30:42.94\00:30:45.91
MUSIC? NOW, IF
IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE
00:30:45.94\00:30:52.35
GOOD, GODLY MUSIC THAT WOULD
DRIVE AWAY EVIL SPIRITS, IS IT A
00:30:52.38\00:30:58.29
STRETCH TO BELIEVE THAT THERE
IS ALSO VERY BAD MUSIC THAT
00:30:58.32\00:31:03.43
WILL INVITE
EVIL SPIRITS? >>AMEN.
00:31:03.46\00:31:07.30
>>BUT YOU'D BE SURPRISED -
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
00:31:07.36\00:31:10.07
THINK MUSIC'S NEUTRAL
AND THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER.
00:31:10.10\00:31:14.84
'YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOOD MUSIC
BUT YOU JUST - IT'S WHATEVER IT
00:31:14.87\00:31:17.41
FEELS LIKE TO YOU. AND
IF IT BLESSES YOU THEN IT
00:31:17.44\00:31:20.41
MUST BE GOOD.' I
RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
00:31:20.44\00:31:25.18
I THINK MUSIC IS LIKE
THEOLOGY. MUSIC IS A VIBRATION.
00:31:25.21\00:31:30.09
IT COMMUNICATES JUST LIKE THE
WORDS I'M SPEAKING COMMUNICATE.
00:31:30.12\00:31:33.22
DIFFERENT KINDS OF MUSIC
COMMUNICATE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
00:31:33.25\00:31:35.92
THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. AND THERE
IS GOOD MUSIC AND THERE IS BAD
00:31:35.96\00:31:41.43
MUSIC. I'M JUST WONDERING, HOW
MANY OF YOU AGREE THAT THERE -
00:31:41.46\00:31:45.00
THERE'S MUSIC FROM
GOD. DO YOU BELIEVE THERE'S
00:31:45.03\00:31:48.20
MUSIC FROM THE DEVIL? >>YES.
00:31:48.24\00:31:50.67
>>YOU KNOW WHERE THE DIFFERENCE
- WE ALL AGREE SO FAR, BUT YOU
00:31:50.71\00:31:52.47
KNOW WHERE THE
DIFFERENCE WOULD COME?
00:31:52.51\00:31:53.71
IS IF I SAID, 'ALRIGHT, I WANT
YOU TO SHOW ME WHERE TO DRAW THE
00:31:53.74\00:31:55.28
LINE BETWEEN THE TWO.' YOU'D
BE SURPRISED HOW MANY CHRISTIANS
00:31:55.31\00:31:59.38
OUT THERE ARE STRUGGLING TO
LIVE GODLY LIVES WHILE THEY'RE
00:31:59.41\00:32:03.08
LISTENING TO DIABOLICAL MUSIC.
00:32:03.12\00:32:05.82
AND THEY DON'T
REALIZE THERE'S A CONNECTION.
00:32:05.85\00:32:08.92
I'VE HEARD SOME VERY INTERESTING
TESTIMONIES OF PEOPLE THAT SAY,
00:32:08.96\00:32:11.29
'YOU KNOW, I'VE TRIED TO BE A
CHRISTIAN FOR YEARS AND FINALLY
00:32:11.33\00:32:13.73
I BECAME CONVICTED, IF I WOULD
GET RID OF MY ROCK AND ROLL
00:32:13.76\00:32:17.70
LIBRARY' - I KNOW IT WAS
A STRUGGLE BECAUSE THEY WERE
00:32:17.73\00:32:20.07
ADDICTED - AND THEY DID AND JUST
A WHOLE NEW SPIRIT CAME INTO
00:32:20.10\00:32:25.44
THEIR LIVES. THEY NEVER
REALLY HAD MADE THE CONNECTION.
00:32:25.47\00:32:28.81
NOW I'M GIVING YOU, YOU
KNOW, RADICAL EXAMPLES HERE, BUT
00:32:28.84\00:32:32.45
THERE'S A LOT OF NUANCES IN
BETWEEN AND, EVEN AS I SHARE
00:32:32.48\00:32:35.32
THIS WITH YOU, I NEED TO TELL
YOU, I FEEL A LITTLE INSECURE
00:32:35.35\00:32:37.32
BECAUSE I'M NOT
TRAINED IN MUSIC.
00:32:37.35\00:32:40.12
I MEAN, MY MOTHER SANG
- SHE WAS A SONGWRITER -
00:32:40.16\00:32:44.49
AND WE HAD GREAT
COMPOSERS IN OUR HOUSE.
00:32:44.53\00:32:46.59
SOME OF THEM WERE WINNERS OF
TONY AWARDS ON BROADWAY, SO WE
00:32:46.63\00:32:49.13
HEARD JUST INCREDIBLE MUSIC.
NOT ALL OF IT GODLY - VERY
00:32:49.16\00:32:52.73
TALENTED - SOME
WAS GOOD, SOME WAS BAD.
00:32:52.77\00:32:55.67
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN HAVE
GOOD MUSIC AND BAD WORDS.
00:32:55.70\00:33:00.24
YOU CAN HAVE SOME
BAD WORDS AND GOOD MUSIC.
00:33:00.28\00:33:03.35
MATTER OF FACT, I'VE HEARD
SOME SONGS OUT THERE THAT - JUST
00:33:03.38\00:33:07.42
OUTSTANDING MUSIC,
BUT THE WORDS WERE AWFUL.
00:33:07.45\00:33:12.02
AND SOME PEOPLE THINK, 'WELL,
THAT SANCTIFIES THE MESSAGE'.
00:33:12.05\00:33:14.42
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE BOTH
TOGETHER THAT ARE RIGHT.
00:33:14.46\00:33:16.52
AND THEN I'VE HEARD SOME JUST
ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC AND IT'S
00:33:16.56\00:33:20.80
JUST - THEY'RE HOWLING, THEY'RE
JUMPING UP AND DOWN, THEY'RE
00:33:20.83\00:33:23.13
CRACKING THEIR GUITARS OVER EACH
OTHER'S HEAD AND THEY JUST SAY
00:33:23.16\00:33:25.77
THE NAME 'JESUS' AND
'SPIRIT' EVERY TIME AND YOU'RE
00:33:25.80\00:33:27.70
SUPPOSED TO BE CHRISTIAN MUSIC.
00:33:27.74\00:33:30.01
I KNOW, I'M EXAGGERATING A
LITTLE BIT, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF
00:33:30.04\00:33:33.04
PEOPLE SAYING, 'WE'VE GOT TO -
WE'VE GOT TO GIVE THEM THE MUSIC
00:33:33.07\00:33:35.61
OF THE WORLD AND WE'LL PUT SOME
CHRISTIAN'S WORDS IN TO CREATE A
00:33:35.64\00:33:38.51
BRIDGE TO BRING THE
YOUNG PEOPLE INTO THE CHURCH.
00:33:38.55\00:33:41.78
AND SO, YOU'VE GOT THESE - THESE
OSTENSIBLE CHRISTIAN GROUPS THAT
00:33:41.82\00:33:44.92
GO OUT THERE AND THEY PLAY
THIS CHRISTIAN ROCK TO CREATE A
00:33:44.95\00:33:47.59
BRIDGE TO BRING THE YOUNG PEOPLE
INTO THE CHURCH, BUT YOU KNOW
00:33:47.62\00:33:50.09
WHAT HAPPENS, IS THE KIDS THAT
GROW UP IN THE CHURCH HEAR THAT;
00:33:50.13\00:33:52.36
IT CREATES A BRIDGE
THAT LEADS THEM OUT.
00:33:52.39\00:33:54.73
THAT BRIDGE GOES BOTH WAYS. I'M
NOT EVEN SURE IT GOES THE RIGHT
00:33:54.76\00:33:57.80
WAY. ASK ME HOW I FEEL.
BUT JUST - AND I GREW UP
00:33:57.83\00:34:05.91
LISTENING TO THE MUSIC OF THE
WORLD, BUT I SAW WHAT IT DID TO
00:34:05.94\00:34:09.81
ME - AND WHAT IT DOES
TO ME. I STILL HEAR IT.
00:34:09.84\00:34:13.05
I - WALKING THROUGH THE MARKET
OR - I LIKE GOING TO CHIPOTLE
00:34:13.08\00:34:21.96
AND EVERY NOW AND THEN I'LL TAKE
A PHONE CALL WHILE I'M THERE AND
00:34:21.99\00:34:24.36
THE MUSIC IS JUST SOMETIMES
AWFUL AND I'VE - MORE THAN ONCE
00:34:24.39\00:34:28.20
- I'VE HAD TO GO UP AND ASK THEM
- I'VE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, I LIKE
00:34:28.23\00:34:30.33
YOUR FOOD, BUT I
DON'T CARE FOR YOUR MUSIC.
00:34:30.37\00:34:31.93
CAN YOU JUST TURN
THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT?
00:34:31.97\00:34:33.94
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TURN
IT OFF, JUST TURN IT DOWN.
00:34:33.97\00:34:35.40
I CAN'T EVEN TALK.' SOMEONE'LL
CALL ME AND THEY'LL HEAR BOOM
00:34:35.44\00:34:38.74
BACKA DONKA BACKA BOOM BACKA
- AND THEY'LL GO, 'PASTOR DOUG,
00:34:38.77\00:34:42.24
WHERE ARE YOU?'
(LAUGHTER) AND - ALWAYS - NOW
00:34:42.28\00:34:45.61
I'M SELF CONSCIOUS, YOU KNOW,
I PICK UP THE PHONE AND GO,
00:34:45.65\00:34:47.68
'LOOK, I CAN'T HELP
IT. I'M IN THE MALL' OR
00:34:47.72\00:34:50.69
WHEREVER IT IS, YOU KNOW?
BUT WE'RE SURROUNDED WITH IT.
00:34:50.72\00:34:55.72
AND THE REASON I SAID WHAT I
SAID IS I'D BE LYING TO YOU IF I
00:34:55.76\00:35:01.16
ACTED LIKE NONE
OF IT ATTRACTS ME.
00:35:01.20\00:35:04.80
IT DOES. IF THE
DEVIL - YOU KNOW, YOU -
00:35:04.83\00:35:08.00
THE DEVIL DOESN'T USE
BAIT THAT DOESN'T WORK.
00:35:08.04\00:35:11.01
AND ALL OF US HAVE SOMETHING
WITHIN US AND THAT MUSIC PULLS
00:35:11.04\00:35:16.01
AT DIFFERENT
PARTS OF OUR HEARTS.
00:35:16.04\00:35:18.75
AND SO, WE JUST NEED TO KNOW
THAT, 'HEY, EVEN THOUGH I MIGHT
00:35:18.78\00:35:23.25
LIKE IT AND IT MIGHT BE
ATTRACTIVE' - THERE'S A LOT OF
00:35:23.28\00:35:26.35
SWEETS AND THINGS THAT I KNOW
I LIKE THE TASTE OF, BUT I DON'T
00:35:26.39\00:35:28.72
LIKE WHAT IT DOES TO ME.
AND IT'S THAT WAY WITH MUSIC.
00:35:28.76\00:35:32.86
THERE'S MUSIC OUT
THERE - IT'S NOT NEUTRAL.
00:35:32.89\00:35:35.06
YOU CAN'T LISTEN
INDISCRIMINATELY TO ANYTHING
00:35:35.10\00:35:37.37
THAT'S OUT THERE AND
SAY, 'THIS IS NOT AFFECTING ME
00:35:37.40\00:35:39.67
SPIRITUALLY.' BECAUSE IT
DOES, FOR GOOD OR FOR BAD.
00:35:39.70\00:35:45.81
AND SO YOU NEED TO BE VERY
CAREFUL WHAT YOU LISTEN TO.
00:35:45.84\00:35:49.78
DAVID PLAYED AND THE DEVIL LEFT.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF MUSIC THAT
00:35:49.81\00:35:53.31
THE CHRISTIANS PLAY
TODAY AND THE DEVIL COMES IN.
00:35:53.35\00:35:57.25
AND THE SAD THING IS
WE DO IT DELIBERATELY.
00:35:57.29\00:36:00.56
AND WE DON'T EVEN
MAKE THE CONNECTION.
00:36:00.59\00:36:04.16
PEOPLE LISTENING TO - NOW,
YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE
00:36:04.19\00:36:07.03
SAY, 'WELL, DAVID WAS A SHEPHERD
AND SO HE PROBABLY PLAYED
00:36:07.03\00:36:08.96
COUNTRY MUSIC, SO COUNTRY'S
OKAY.' (LAUGHTER) RIGHT?
00:36:09.00\00:36:15.17
I'M SURE THERE IS SOME COUNTRY
MUSIC THAT'S OKAY, BUT I CAN
00:36:15.20\00:36:18.34
TELL YOU A LOT OF THAT MUSIC IS
TALKING ABOUT WHO'S CHEATING ON
00:36:18.37\00:36:20.61
WHO AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT TO
KNOW WHEN TO FOLD 'EM AND HOLD
00:36:20.64\00:36:23.71
'EM AND SHE LEFT ME AND, YOU
KNOW, I'VE GOT A PREGNANT CAT
00:36:23.75\00:36:29.15
AND ALL THESE THINGS ARE
GOING WRONG AND JUST - THIS IS
00:36:29.18\00:36:33.09
DEPRESSING. AND THEN
YOU SAY - I JUST REALLY
00:36:33.12\00:36:38.19
HAVE HEARD, YOU KNOW, SOME OF
THE FOLKSY PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH,
00:36:38.23\00:36:43.37
THEY'LL SAY, 'OH YEAH, THAT
WICKED ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC' - A
00:36:43.40\00:36:46.37
BOY ASKED HIS DAD ONE DAY,
'HAD YOU EVER HEARD ROCK AND
00:36:46.40\00:36:49.34
ROLL WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG?'
HE SAID, 'YEAH, ONE TIME.
00:36:49.37\00:36:51.44
A TRUCKLOAD OF DUCKS COLLIDED
WITH A TRUCK OF EMPTY MILK CANS.
00:36:51.47\00:36:55.48
THAT WAS THE CLOSEST THINK I
CAME TO HEARING ROCK AND ROLL.'
00:36:55.51\00:36:58.58
BUT - AND SO THEY THINK ROCK
AND ROLL IS WICKED BUT COUNTRY
00:36:58.61\00:37:04.32
MUSIC, YOU KNOW? IN
ALMOST EVERY CATEGORY
00:37:04.35\00:37:08.92
THERE'S - WELL, LET ME SAY THIS
DIFFERENTLY - SOME PEOPLE WILL
00:37:08.96\00:37:12.99
SAY 'WELL, EVERY CULTURE
HAS DIFFERENT MUSIC.' WHICH
00:37:13.03\00:37:16.43
THAT'S JUST A CULTURAL
THING. IN OUR CULTURE IT'S ROCK.
00:37:16.46\00:37:19.60
WE COME FROM A ROCK CULTURE.
AND YOU OLD FOGIES, IN YOUR
00:37:19.63\00:37:22.64
GENERATION, YOU DON'T
APPRECIATE ROCK MUSIC.
00:37:22.67\00:37:25.84
IT'S JUST - IT'S
NOT A CULTURAL THING.
00:37:25.87\00:37:29.94
EVERY COUNTRY - I'VE BEEN ALL
OVER THE WORLD - EVERY COUNTRY
00:37:29.98\00:37:33.15
I'VE BEEN IN, THE PRINCIPLES
OF MUSIC ARE THE SAME.
00:37:33.18\00:37:37.32
IN ANY COUNTRY I'VE BEEN IN,
WHEN MOTHERS WENT TO PUT THEIR
00:37:37.35\00:37:40.62
BABIES TO SLEEP AND THEY SING A
LULLABY, LULLABIES WILL ALL HAVE
00:37:40.66\00:37:45.63
THE SAME PRINCIPLE.
NONE OF THEM PLAY A SCREAMING
00:37:45.66\00:37:49.26
ELECTRIC GUITAR WITH LOUD DRUMS
TO TRY TO PUT THE KID TO SLEEP.
00:37:49.30\00:37:53.44
IT WOULD MAKE THE KID NEUROTIC.
THEY FOUND EVEN PLANTS RESPOND
00:37:53.47\00:37:58.61
TO MUSIC
DIFFERENTLY, DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:37:58.64\00:38:00.71
I JUST SAW A STUDY WITHIN A
MONTH - NOT A CHRISTIAN STUDY -
00:38:00.74\00:38:04.28
THAT CAME OUT THAT SAID THEY'RE
SHOWING THAT CERTAIN KIND OF
00:38:04.31\00:38:07.15
MUSIC - I THINK THEY SAID
CLASSICAL MUSIC - THAT PLANTS
00:38:07.18\00:38:09.62
ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE. AND
THEY SAID, 'WELL, IT MAY NOT
00:38:09.65\00:38:13.22
HAVE TO DO WITH IT, IT MIGHT
JUST BE THAT THE VIBRATIONS ARE
00:38:13.25\00:38:15.89
HELPING' - OR
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, BUT ANIMALS
00:38:15.92\00:38:19.69
RESPOND TO MUSIC.
THERE'S SOMETHING WITHIN US
00:38:19.73\00:38:23.40
- THESE VIBRATIONS
- THAT IT AFFECTS US.
00:38:23.43\00:38:25.83
WHEN SOLDIERS GO TO WAR
THERE'S A MUSIC FOR WAR.
00:38:25.87\00:38:30.24
THEY DON'T SING, AS THEY'RE
MARCHING, 'LA LA LA, LA LA' -
00:38:30.27\00:38:35.98
THAT'S LULLABY MUSIC, RIGHT?
(LAUGHTER) THEN, THAT'S WHEN
00:38:36.01\00:38:39.28
YOU WANT YOUR WAR MUSIC.
>>YOU GOING TO SING (INAUDIBLE)?
00:38:39.31\00:38:44.39
>>NO, I'M NOT
GOING TO SING THAT, NO.
00:38:44.42\00:38:45.95
(LAUGHTER) AND THEN THERE'S
ROMANTIC MUSIC - I THINK THAT'S
00:38:45.99\00:38:50.76
TRUE - I THINK
THERE'S GOOD ROMANTIC MUSIC.
00:38:50.79\00:38:54.03
THERE'S LOVE SONGS, RIGHT?
ISN'T THERE A BOOK IN THE BIBLE
00:38:54.10\00:38:56.97
CALLED THE SONG OF SOLOMON
? AND SO THAT'S APPROPRIATE
00:38:57.00\00:39:00.14
- WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF
AN APPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP.
00:39:00.17\00:39:03.74
>>AMEN. >>ROMANTIC MUSIC.
00:39:03.77\00:39:05.34
BUT YOU DON'T SING MARCHING
MUSIC - YOU INVITE YOUR FIANCE
00:39:05.37\00:39:11.95
OVER AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
DINNER AND SAY, 'CAN I PUT ON A
00:39:11.98\00:39:16.25
LITTLE MUSIC FOR
TO SET THE MOOD?'
00:39:16.28\00:39:18.35
'SURE, PLEASE DO THAT.' AND YOU
PLAY 'DA DA DA DUM DUM DUM DUM
00:39:18.39\00:39:21.46
DA DUM' - WHICH IS, YOU
KNOW, THAT'S A MARCHING SONG.
00:39:21.49\00:39:24.66
I KNOW, I'M CARRYING ON A LITTLE
BIT, BUT IT'S MAKING A POINT -
00:39:24.69\00:39:27.23
THE - SO WHEN PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL,
THAT'S A CULTURAL THING' - WAR
00:39:27.23\00:39:30.30
MUSIC, ROMANTIC MUSIC, LULLABY -
THESE DIFFERENT MUSIC PRINCIPLES
00:39:30.33\00:39:34.54
ARE THE SAME IN EVERY
CULTURE. THERE WILL BE CULTURAL
00:39:34.57\00:39:37.67
DIFFERENCES, BUT THEY
FALL WITHIN THE PRINCIPLES.
00:39:37.71\00:39:41.54
AND SO THERE ARE CHRISTIAN
PRINCIPLES FOR MUSIC THAT WE
00:39:41.58\00:39:44.91
NEED TO UNDERSTAND. AND
MARTIN LUTHER, HE BELIEVED
00:39:44.95\00:39:48.92
VERY STRONGLY ABOUT
THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC.
00:39:48.95\00:39:52.49
LUTHER SAID, "THE DEVIL TAKES
FLIGHT AT THE SOUND OF MUSIC" -
00:39:52.52\00:39:56.36
SPEAKING OF CHRISTIAN MUSIC
- "AS HE DOES AT THE WORDS OF
00:39:56.39\00:39:59.26
THEOLOGY. FOR THIS
REASON THE PROPHETS
00:39:59.29\00:40:02.43
OFTEN COMBINED THEOLOGY AND
MUSIC - TEACHING OF THE TRUTH
00:40:02.46\00:40:06.57
AND CHANTING OF THE
PSALMS AND THE HYMNS."
00:40:06.60\00:40:09.47
MATTER OF FACT, YOU KNOW, YOU
LOOK AT SOME OF THE OLD SONGS
00:40:09.50\00:40:14.81
AND THE OLD HYMNS AND THEY
HAD JUST PROFOUND THEOLOGY.
00:40:14.84\00:40:18.25
SOMETIMES IT WAS
LIKE A SERMON IN A HYMN.
00:40:18.28\00:40:20.58
AND THE IDEA WAS THAT THE MUSIC
WAS THERE TO ENHANCE THE WORDS -
00:40:20.62\00:40:23.79
TO TEACH AND
REINFORCE THE TRUTH.
00:40:23.82\00:40:25.89
ANY OF YOU EVER READ
THE SONG OF SOLOMON ?
00:40:25.92\00:40:28.32
OR, I MEAN, THE SONG OF
MOSES ? IT'S LIKE 33 VERSES.
00:40:28.36\00:40:34.76
I'D LOVE TO HEAR THE
MUSIC THAT WENT WITH THAT.
00:40:34.83\00:40:37.57
BUT HE WAS TEACHING THEM ABOUT
FOLLOWING GOD IN THEIR JOURNEYS.
00:40:37.60\00:40:41.64
THAT'S QUITE A SONG. I'VE
GOT A FRIEND WHO HIS FAMILY
00:40:41.67\00:40:44.87
WAS FROM THE
REFORM CHURCH IN FINLAND.
00:40:44.91\00:40:47.41
AND HE SAID, 'OH YEAH, IN OUR
FAMILY THEY WOULD SING A SONG -
00:40:47.44\00:40:51.28
25 MINUTES ONE SONG.' (WHISTLE)
I SAID, 'WAS IT, YOU KNOW, THE
00:40:51.31\00:40:56.85
SAME WORDS?' 'NO, NO. NO
TWO WORDS WERE THE SAME.'
00:40:56.89\00:41:01.79
THEY WOULD HAVE THIS SERMON THAT
THEY'D PUT TO MUSIC THERE IN
00:41:01.82\00:41:05.79
FINLAND AND THEY
WOULD SING THESE SERMONS.
00:41:05.83\00:41:09.96
WELL, YOU KNOW, THEY
DON'T HAVE TO BE LONG.
00:41:10.00\00:41:12.00
YOU DO HAVE PSALM 117 THAT'S ONE
OF THE SHORTEST CHAPTERS IN THE
00:41:12.03\00:41:14.60
BIBLE, BUT IT'S
RIGHT NEXT TO PSALM 119.
00:41:14.64\00:41:17.51
I'D LOVE TO PREACH ON THAT
SOMEDAY. THAT'S A LONG CHAPTER.
00:41:17.54\00:41:23.68
AND THEN, WHILE I'M ON THE
SUBJECT OF LENGTH AND THE NUMBER
00:41:23.71\00:41:27.22
OF WORDS, I SHOULD PROBABLY
TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE POPULAR
00:41:27.25\00:41:29.52
CONTEMPORARY SONGS THAT - WE
OFTEN CALL THEM PRAISE SONGS.
00:41:29.55\00:41:35.46
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I BELIEVE
THAT ALL PRAISE SONGS ARE BAD.
00:41:35.49\00:41:38.66
I THINK THAT THERE'S AN
APPROPRIATE TIME FOR SIMPLE
00:41:38.69\00:41:42.43
PRAISE SONGS.
THERE'S SOME VERY SIMPLE
00:41:42.46\00:41:43.90
SONGS WE TEACH THE CHILDREN
THAT HAVE VERY SIMPLE WORDS
00:41:43.93\00:41:47.24
AND THAT'S WONDERFUL. BUT
THE THEOLOGY IS NOT WHAT IT
00:41:47.27\00:41:55.84
USED TO BE IN
SOME OF THE OLD SONGS.
00:41:55.88\00:42:00.82
YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD THE
EXPRESSION 7-11 SONGS - THAT'S
00:42:00.85\00:42:05.72
BECAUSE THEY SING THE SAME SEVEN
WORDS ELEVEN TIMES - JUST OVER
00:42:05.75\00:42:10.16
AND OVER. AND I
GET KIND OF IRRITATED.
00:42:10.19\00:42:14.30
I LIKE LYRICS AND SO I
LIKE WORDS THAT MEAN SOMETHING.
00:42:14.30\00:42:17.53
AND SO, WHEN PEOPLE JUST - AND
SO MANY OF THEM JUST SOUND LIKE
00:42:17.57\00:42:20.74
LOVE SONGS AND IT'S JUST - A LOT
OF IT IS JUST OVER AND OVER -
00:42:20.77\00:42:26.17
'OH JESUS, YOU'RE SO
WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL.
00:42:26.21\00:42:28.78
OH JESUS, JESUS, JESUS.' AND
I DON'T MEAN TO BE SACRILEGIOUS,
00:42:28.81\00:42:32.01
BUT I'M JUST - IT'S LIKE,
YOU KNOW, TEACH ME SOMETHING.
00:42:32.05\00:42:35.55
YOU KNOW, LIFT ME THROUGH THE
WORDS, BECAUSE THE REASON FOR
00:42:35.58\00:42:39.39
THIS MUSIC IS
THERE'S THEOLOGY IN IT.
00:42:39.42\00:42:41.72
AND WHEN DAVID WOULD PLAY ON HIS
HARP - I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER
00:42:41.76\00:42:45.09
IF HE WOULDN'T ALSO
SING SOME TRUTHS OF GOD.
00:42:45.13\00:42:49.83
WHERE DO YOU THINK DAVID
GOT HIS IDEAS FOR HIS SONGS?
00:42:49.86\00:42:55.00
DAVID SUNG - HE COMES FROM THE
PASTURE TO THE PALACE AND HE IS
00:42:55.04\00:42:58.24
A MAGNIFICENT MUSICIAN.
AND HE'S COMPOSED A LOT
00:42:58.27\00:43:02.51
OF SONGS ALREADY, I THINK.
HE WAS OUT THERE SURROUNDED BY
00:43:02.54\00:43:06.65
THE THINGS THAT GOD MADE AND HE
WOULD SEE THE MOUNTAINS AND HE
00:43:06.68\00:43:11.79
WOULD SEE THE MAJESTIC
SUNSETS AND HE WOULD SEE
00:43:11.82\00:43:14.26
THE STARS AT NIGHT.
YOU'VE READ THE PSALMS WHERE IT
00:43:14.29\00:43:17.19
TALKS ABOUT "WHEN I CONSIDER THE
HEAVENS AND THE THINGS THAT YOUR
00:43:17.23\00:43:19.96
HANDS HAVE MADE, WHAT IS MAN
THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM, OR
00:43:20.00\00:43:22.96
THE SON OF MAN
THAT YOU VISIT HIM?
00:43:23.00\00:43:24.97
AS THE SUN GOES FORTH IN ITS
STRENGTH" - HE TALKS ABOUT THE
00:43:25.00\00:43:28.00
SUNRISE - "AS THE DEW UPON
THE GRASS" - HE TALKS ABOUT THE
00:43:28.04\00:43:30.74
GRASS. YOU LOOK AT THE PSALMS -
READ THE 23RD PSALM - "YOU LEAD
00:43:30.77\00:43:34.14
ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS" -
SO MANY OF DAVID'S PSALMS WERE
00:43:34.18\00:43:37.31
OBVIOUSLY INFLUENCED BY
THE THINGS THAT GOD MADE.
00:43:37.35\00:43:42.32
AND SO, THE PURPOSE OF
THE MUSIC WAS TO GLORIFY GOD.
00:43:42.35\00:43:47.39
BUT MUSIC IS - IT'S
NOT A NEUTRAL MEDIUM.
00:43:47.42\00:43:51.33
J.S. BACH SAID, "ALL MUSIC
SHOULD HAVE NO OTHER END AND AIM
00:43:51.36\00:43:56.67
THAN TO THE GLORY OF GOD
AND FOR THE SOUL'S REFRESHMENT.
00:43:56.70\00:44:00.40
WERE THIS NOT REMEMBERED,
THERE'S NO REAL MUSIC, ONLY A
00:44:00.44\00:44:03.07
DEVILISH HUBBUB."
THAT'S WHAT BACH SAID.
00:44:03.10\00:44:06.57
SOMETHING ELSE YOU MAY OR MAY
NOT KNOW: EVERY COMPOSITION BY
00:44:06.61\00:44:09.74
BACH BEGAN WITH A 'J.J.' AT THE
TOP LEFT AND THAT MEANT IT WAS
00:44:09.78\00:44:15.68
JESU JUVA, WHICH MEANT 'JESUS
HELP ME' AND HE ENDED EVERY
00:44:15.72\00:44:20.56
COMPOSITION WITH 'S.D.G.' AND
THAT MEANT SOLI DEO GLORIA - 'TO
00:44:20.59\00:44:25.03
GOD ALONE BE THE PRAISE'.
EVERY COMPOSITION, THE START AND
00:44:25.06\00:44:29.80
THE BEGINNING, HE SAW
IT AS A DIVINE OPPORTUNITY.
00:44:29.83\00:44:34.50
MARTIN LUTHER SAID, "AFTER
THEOLOGY I GIVE THE HIGHEST
00:44:34.54\00:44:37.34
PLACE AND
GREATEST HONOR TO MUSIC."
00:44:37.37\00:44:40.34
MATTER OF FACT, ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT SET THE PROTESTANT
00:44:40.38\00:44:42.64
REFORMATION GOING IS LUTHER NOT
ONLY TRANSLATED THE BIBLE, HE
00:44:42.68\00:44:46.15
WROTE A HYMN BOOK.
THEY HAD NEW SONGS TO SING
00:44:46.18\00:44:49.38
BECAUSE, YOU REALIZE, AT
THE TIME OF LUTHER ALL THE
00:44:49.42\00:44:52.65
MONASTERIES, THEY ALL WOULD COME
INTO THE CHURCH AND THEY'D CHANT
00:44:52.69\00:44:55.59
IN LATIN AND IT
WAS ALMOST HYPNOTIC.
00:44:55.62\00:45:00.76
AND AGAIN, I'VE GOT TO
ILLUSTRATE BECAUSE WE'RE
00:45:00.80\00:45:02.63
THINKING ABOUT AUDIO THINGS, SO
I'M NOT TRYING TO BE FUNNY, BUT
00:45:02.66\00:45:07.44
YOU EVER HEARD SOME
OF THESE MONASTIC CHANTS?
00:45:07.47\00:45:10.94
SOME OF THEM ARE VERY PLEASANT -
MATTER - YOU GET ALL THESE MEN'S
00:45:10.97\00:45:12.94
VOICES TOGETHER, BUT OFTEN IT
SOUNDS LIKE 'VINA GINA WHU GEE
00:45:12.97\00:45:16.41
NAH NEE GNO' - AND WHEN I CAME
INTO THE CHURCH I'D KIND OF COME
00:45:16.44\00:45:22.58
OUT OF EASTERN MYSTICISM -
WENT THROUGH ALL THESE EASTERN
00:45:22.62\00:45:24.75
RELIGIONS - AND THEY'D ALL GET
TOGETHER AND DO THESE MYSTICAL
00:45:24.79\00:45:28.06
CHANTS. AND
THEY'D KIND OF MAKE THESE
00:45:28.09\00:45:33.43
OFF TONES - IT'S ALMOST LIKE
SPA MUSIC THAT'S SUPPOSED TO PUT
00:45:33.46\00:45:36.56
YOU IN A HYPNOTIC TRANCE.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE
00:45:36.60\00:45:40.00
PEOPLE COULDN'T SING -
THEY DIDN'T KNOW LATIN.
00:45:40.04\00:45:43.04
LUTHER GIVES THEM A BOOK AND
- SONGS - AND THAT'S WHY LUTHER,
00:45:43.07\00:45:46.24
HE WOULD TAKE SOME OF THE GREAT
MUSIC - YOU KNOW THAT SONG - A
00:45:46.27\00:45:49.71
MIGHTY FORTRESS? THAT
WAS A MELODY THE PEOPLE
00:45:49.74\00:45:56.12
SANG, SOMETIMES
EVEN IN THE BARS.
00:45:56.15\00:45:59.55
IT WAS A GREAT MELODY AND LUTHER
SAID, 'NOTHING WRONG WITH THE
00:45:59.59\00:46:01.59
MELODY - THE WORDS ARE TERRIBLE.
I'M GOING TO PUT NEW WORDS TO
00:46:01.62\00:46:03.93
THAT GREAT MELODY.' AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN THEY WERE SINGING
00:46:03.96\00:46:07.03
SONGS LIKE THAT AND IT JUST -
EVERYBODY WAS SINGING THE SONGS.
00:46:07.03\00:46:10.70
WHO WAS IT THAT SAID - YEAH,
HEAR WE GO - CONFUCIUS, OF ALL
00:46:10.73\00:46:19.21
PEOPLE I MIGHT QUOTE, "IF ONE
SHOULD DESIRE TO KNOW WHETHER A
00:46:19.24\00:46:23.38
KINGDOM IS WELL GOVERNED OR IF
ITS MORALS ARE GOOD OR BAD, THE
00:46:23.41\00:46:26.98
QUALITY OF ITS MUSIC
WILL GIVE YOU THE ANSWER."
00:46:27.02\00:46:30.59
WHAT DOES THAT
BODE FOR US AS A NATION?
00:46:30.62\00:46:34.29
ANDREW FLETCHER SAID, 'I KNEW A
VERY WISE MAN WHO BELIEVED THAT
00:46:34.32\00:46:37.99
IF A MAN WERE PERMITTED TO TAKE
ALL THE BALLADS HE NEEDED, NOT
00:46:38.03\00:46:41.16
CARE WHO SHOULD MAKE THE LAWS OF
THE NATION,' IF HE COULD WRITE
00:46:41.20\00:46:44.00
THE BALLADS - THE SONGS.
PLATO SAID, 'GIVE ME THE MUSIC
00:46:44.03\00:46:48.37
OF A NATION AND I WILL
CHANGE THE MIND OF THE NATION.'
00:46:48.40\00:46:51.74
YOU THINK IT'S AN ACCIDENT
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO MUSIC?
00:46:51.77\00:46:55.08
OR IS THE DEVIL TRYING TO
DO SOMETHING WITH THE NATION?
00:46:55.11\00:47:00.62
IT'S ANOTHER
MEANS OF COMMUNICATION.
00:47:00.65\00:47:02.58
IT'S VERY POWERFUL.
SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE VIBRATIONS
00:47:02.62\00:47:04.49
GO BEYOND THE PART OF OUR
BRAIN THAT PROCESSES SPEECH AND
00:47:04.52\00:47:08.32
GETS DOWN INTO OUR
SOUL. YOU EVER HEARD MUSIC
00:47:08.36\00:47:11.19
THAT'D JUST MAKE YOU WEEP?
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE HEARD MUSIC
00:47:11.23\00:47:14.56
THAT JUST MOVES YOU TO TEARS
AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY.
00:47:14.56\00:47:16.83
YOU MAY - I'VE HEARD MUSIC
IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE I DON'T
00:47:16.87\00:47:18.70
KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SAYING,
BUT THE MUSIC IS MESMERIZING.
00:47:18.73\00:47:24.04
AND SOMETIMES - YOU
KNOW WHAT'S NEAT ABOUT MUSIC?
00:47:24.07\00:47:26.31
SOMETIMES THERE'LL BE A GREAT
SONG - FOR INSTANCE, IF I SHOULD
00:47:26.34\00:47:30.61
JUST HUM - (HUMS JESUS LOVES ME
) EVERYONE KNOW WHAT THAT WAS?
00:47:30.65\00:47:38.89
EVEN THOUGH I DON'T SING ON
KEY? THE WORDS - DID YOU HAVE
00:47:38.92\00:47:41.99
THE WORDS IN YOUR MIND? SO
WHEN YOU HEAR THE MELODIES,
00:47:42.02\00:47:44.69
IT BRINGS THE WORDS BACK.
AND SO, BY COMBINING WORDS -
00:47:44.73\00:47:48.83
GOOD THEOLOGY - WITH
THESE BEAUTIFUL VIBRATIONS - THE
00:47:48.86\00:47:52.53
DIVINE GOOD MUSIC - IT
INSPIRES TOWARDS TRUTH.
00:47:52.57\00:47:57.44
OH, WE CAN'T UNDERESTIMATE THE
POWER OF MUSIC, FRIENDS, AND I
00:47:57.47\00:47:59.91
JUST DON'T HAVE TIME TO -
TO GIVE IT THE ATTENTION IT
00:47:59.94\00:48:02.64
DESERVES. IN THE
BOOK EDUCATION - P. 62,
00:48:02.68\00:48:06.98
"MUSIC FORMS A PART OF GOD'S
WORSHIP IN THE COURTS ABOVE AND
00:48:07.02\00:48:10.89
WE SHOULD ENDEAVOR, IN OUR SONGS
OF PRAISE, TO APPROACH AS NEARLY
00:48:10.92\00:48:15.36
AS POSSIBLE TO THE
HARMONY OF HEAVENLY CHOIRS."
00:48:15.39\00:48:19.16
IT'S OUR GOAL HERE AS A CHURCH,
IN THE PASTORAL STAFF, WITH THE
00:48:19.19\00:48:21.93
MUSIC LEADERS, TO SAY, 'LORD,
WHAT IS THE MUSIC, NOT THAT THE
00:48:21.96\00:48:25.50
WORLD LIKES, BUT
WHAT WILL GLORIFY YOU?
00:48:25.53\00:48:28.44
WHAT WILL PLEASE YOU?' AND
I KNOW SOMETIMES WE PROBABLY
00:48:28.47\00:48:30.77
MISS THE MARK, BUT THAT'S OUR
GOAL, IS TO BE EVALUATING AND
00:48:30.81\00:48:34.61
STUDYING - AND IT'S
WORTH STUDYING, ISN'T IT?
00:48:34.64\00:48:37.38
TO KNOW WHAT IS TRUTH IN HIS
WORD AND WHAT IS GOOD WHEN IT
00:48:37.41\00:48:40.62
COMES TO MUSIC. IN 1
TESTIMONIES 497 , "MUSIC,
00:48:40.65\00:48:45.65
WHEN NOT ABUSED,
IS A GREAT BLESSING.
00:48:45.69\00:48:48.19
BUT WHEN IT IS PUT TO A WRONG
USE, IT IS A TERRIBLE CURSE."
00:48:48.22\00:48:53.76
SO THE PURPOSE OF
MUSIC IS TO GLORIFY GOD.
00:48:53.80\00:48:56.80
PSALM 71, VERSE 22, "ALSO
WITH A LUTE I WILL PRAISE YOU.
00:48:56.83\00:49:01.54
I WILL PRAISE YOUR
FAITHFULNESS O MY GOD.
00:49:01.57\00:49:03.91
TO YOU I WILL SING WITH A
HARP, O HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.
00:49:03.94\00:49:07.41
MY LIPS SHALL GREATLY REJOICE
WHEN I SING TO YOU AND MY SOUL,
00:49:07.44\00:49:11.15
WHICH YOU HAVE REDEEMED."
PSALM 57, "I'LL PRAISE YOU,
00:49:11.18\00:49:14.88
O LORD, AMONG THE
PEOPLES. I WILL SING TO YOU
00:49:14.92\00:49:17.32
AMONG THE NATIONS." SO
ONE OF THE REASONS THEY WOULD
00:49:17.35\00:49:20.19
SING THEIR MUSIC IS NOT
JUST TO TEACH THEM, IT WAS
00:49:20.22\00:49:22.56
ALSO AN OUTREACH.
THE HEATHEN WILL HEAR.
00:49:22.59\00:49:26.36
'I'LL PRAISE YOU AMONG THE
NATIONS' - MUSIC IS POWERFULLY -
00:49:26.39\00:49:29.10
IS A VERY POWERFUL
TOOL EVANGELISTICALLY.
00:49:29.13\00:49:32.37
ANYWAY, SO BACK TO DAVID.
SO GOD, IN HIS PROVIDENCE, HE
00:49:32.40\00:49:37.81
BRINGS DAVID TO THE PALACE
AND DAVID, IN THE TIME - NOW, HE
00:49:37.84\00:49:42.31
WASN'T THERE FULL TIME, BECAUSE
THE KING WOULD NOT MAKE SLAVES
00:49:42.34\00:49:46.41
OF THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD
COME TO SERVE HIM IN THAT WAY.
00:49:46.45\00:49:48.78
HE SAID, 'JESSE,
COULD YOU SEND ME YOUR SON?
00:49:48.82\00:49:50.22
HE WILL BE SOMEONE WHO
WILL SERVE ME' - BUT HE'S NOT A
00:49:50.25\00:49:53.05
SLAVE. HE'S NOT AN INDENTURED
SLAVE. HE CAN STILL GO HOME.
00:49:53.09\00:49:56.93
THEY WERE ABOUT - SAUL DID NOT
LIVE IN JERUSALEM, SAUL LIVED IN
00:49:56.96\00:50:00.70
GIBEAH, WHICH IS ABOUT
EIGHT MILES NORTH OF BETHLEHEM.
00:50:00.73\00:50:04.67
SO DAVID, WHEN HE WENT TO
SAUL, HE WENT UP TO GIBEAH.
00:50:04.70\00:50:07.24
THAT'S WHERE THE COURT WAS BACK
THEN. AND HE'D GET THE MESSAGE
00:50:07.27\00:50:10.21
SAYING, 'YOU NEED TO COME HELP
THE KING. HE'S HAVING A HARD
00:50:10.24\00:50:12.37
TIME.' AND HE'D COME
AND HE'D SPEND SOME TIME.
00:50:12.41\00:50:14.11
HE'D PLAY IN THE PALACE AND
WHILE HE WAS THERE - THIS WAS SO
00:50:14.14\00:50:17.25
PROVIDENTIAL - NOT ONLY DID
IT BLESS SAUL, BUT DAVID, BY
00:50:17.28\00:50:21.22
WATCHING HOW THINGS WERE
CONDUCTED IN THE PALACE, BY
00:50:21.25\00:50:25.09
WATCHING AS SAUL WAS INTERACTING
WITH LEADERS FROM OTHER
00:50:25.12\00:50:27.92
COUNTRIES, BY WATCHING THE
INTRIGUE AND THE JOSTLING AND -
00:50:27.96\00:50:31.59
HE WAS ON THE
SIDELINES AT A LOT OF MEETINGS.
00:50:31.63\00:50:34.66
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THERE
ARE HIGH-LEVEL MEETINGS THAT ARE
00:50:34.73\00:50:37.20
HAPPENING IN THE COUNTRY
AND THE LEADERS DON'T NOTICE THE
00:50:37.23\00:50:41.20
SERVANTS. THEY'RE NOT
PAYING ATTENTION TO THE WAITERS.
00:50:41.24\00:50:45.57
THEY'RE NOT PAYING
ATTENTION TO THE BUTLERS.
00:50:45.61\00:50:47.04
THEY'RE TALKING.
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:50:47.08\00:50:48.31
INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE.
DAVID, WHILE HE'S IN THE
00:50:48.34\00:50:52.11
BACKGROUND, HE'S PROVIDING
BACKGROUND MUSIC - HE'S
00:50:52.15\00:50:54.42
BRILLIANT - HE'S
SPIRIT FILLED TOO.
00:50:54.45\00:50:56.38
GOD'S - HE'S TAKING IT ALL IN
AND GOD USED THIS PROVIDENCE TO
00:50:56.42\00:51:01.02
PREPARE HIM - BECAUSE, I
MEAN, LET'S FACE IT, THERE'S A
00:51:01.06\00:51:03.26
DISTANCE BETWEEN BEING A
SHEPHERD AND BEING A KING.
00:51:03.29\00:51:07.30
AND GOD SAID, 'LOOK, I NEED
TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A
00:51:07.30\00:51:09.33
LEARNING CURVE IN THE PALACE.
I'M GOING TO LET YOU OBSERVE
00:51:09.36\00:51:14.14
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE PALACE
AND HOW TO CONDUCT YOURSELF.
00:51:14.17\00:51:16.87
I'M GOING TO LET YOU LEARN FROM
SAUL'S MISTAKES SO YOU DON'T
00:51:16.91\00:51:19.17
MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.
HE'D OFTEN HEAR PEOPLE FLATTER
00:51:19.21\00:51:21.98
THE KING SO THEY
COULD GET WHAT THEY WANT.
00:51:22.01\00:51:24.15
AND IT TAUGHT DAVID, 'WELL,
THEY'LL TELL THE KING ANYTHING
00:51:24.18\00:51:26.45
TO GET WHAT THEY WANT.' AND HE
SAID, 'I DON'T WANT TO BE FOOLED
00:51:26.48\00:51:29.28
BY THAT.' HE SAW THAT THE KING
WOULD BE SO FULL OF HIMSELF THAT
00:51:29.32\00:51:32.49
HE WOULDN'T REALLY
CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE.
00:51:32.52\00:51:34.02
HE SAID, 'I WANT TO BE A
KING THAT CARES ABOUT THE POOR
00:51:34.06\00:51:36.32
PEOPLE. HE SAW THE
GOOD THINGS THAT SAUL DID.
00:51:36.36\00:51:39.26
HE SAW THE BAD THINGS THAT SAUL
DID, AND GOD WAS PREPARING DAVID
00:51:39.29\00:51:42.23
TO BE THE GREATEST KING OF
ISRAEL AS HE SAT IN THE CORNER
00:51:42.26\00:51:45.73
AND PLAYED HIS
HARP. ISN'T THAT AMAZING?

>>HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE
EXPRESSION BEFORE, 'THEY EAT
00:52:42.49\00:52:44.59
LIKE A BIRD' TALKING ABOUT
SOMEBODY WHO HAS A MINUSCULE
00:52:44.63\00:52:47.40
APPETITE? WELL YOU
MIGHT WANT TO THINK
00:52:47.46\00:52:49.60
TWICE NEXT TIME YOU
USE THAT EXPRESSION.
00:52:49.63\00:52:52.10
FOR EXAMPLE, TAKE THE
HUMMINGBIRD: IN ORDER FOR IT TO
00:52:52.13\00:52:55.67
MAINTAIN ITS INCREDIBLE
METABOLISM, IT HAS TO EAT ABOUT
00:52:55.70\00:52:58.91
50-PERCENT OF ITS
BODY WEIGHT EVERY DAY.
00:52:58.94\00:53:02.28
TO PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE, IF
A HUNDRED-POUND WOMAN WAS TO EAT
00:53:02.31\00:53:05.65
LIKE A HUMMINGBIRD, SHE WOULD
HAVE TO EAT 50 POUNDS OF SUGAR A
00:53:05.68\00:53:09.02
DAY JUST TO MAINTAIN HER
BODY WEIGHT. IMAGINE THAT.
00:53:09.05\00:53:13.19
MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT TO IMAGINE
THAT, BUT PERHAPS YOU'LL WANT TO
00:53:13.22\00:53:16.36
CONSIDER THIS ANOTHER WAY: THE
HUMMINGBIRD TYPICALLY CONSUMES
00:53:16.39\00:53:19.59
BETWEEN FOUR TO SEVEN CALORIES A
DAY, ON THE OTHER HAND, A HUMAN:
00:53:19.63\00:53:22.90
ABOUT 3,500 CALORIES A DAY.
BUT IF YOU WERE TO EAT LIKE A
00:53:22.93\00:53:26.70
BIRD - A HUMMINGBIRD
- YOU'D HAVE TO EAT OVER
00:53:26.74\00:53:29.57
150,000 CALORIES A DAY.
THAT'S LIKE A MAN - 170 POUNDS
00:53:29.60\00:53:36.38
THAT WOULD BE EATING
3,000 OREO COOKIES. UNDER NORMAL
00:53:36.41\00:53:40.78
CONDITIONS, A HUMMINGBIRD
NEEDS TO EAT EVERY FIVE OR TEN
00:53:40.82\00:53:43.65
MINUTES, BUT THERE'S ACTUALLY
ONE TIME DURING THE YEAR THE
00:53:43.69\00:53:46.62
HUMMINGBIRD WILL EAT ITS
ENTIRE BODY WEIGHT EVERY DAY.
00:53:46.65\00:53:50.26
YOU SEE, ONCE A YEAR THEY MAKE
THIS MIGRATION 500 MILES ACROSS
00:53:50.29\00:53:54.93
THE GULF OF MEXICO FROM
TEXAS TO THE YUCATAN PENINSULA.
00:53:54.93\00:53:59.33
IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THE
HUMMINGBIRD FEASTS ON NECTAR AND
00:53:59.37\00:54:04.21
GORGES THEMSELVES ON THIS NECTAR
FOR ABOUT A WEEK, DOUBLING THEIR
00:54:04.24\00:54:07.98
BODY WEIGHT. THAT'S
THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN
00:54:08.01\00:54:10.35
STORE ENOUGH CALORIES TO HELP
THEM WITH THEIR 70-WING BEATS
00:54:10.38\00:54:13.92
PER SECOND OR ROUGHLY 4 MILLION
WING BEATS ON THAT JOURNEY.
00:54:13.95\00:54:19.09
YOU KNOW, IN THE SAME WAY,
FRIENDS, AS WE NEAR THE END OF
00:54:19.12\00:54:20.89
TIME, WE NEED TO BE FEASTING AND
GORGING OURSELVES ON THE NECTAR
00:54:20.92\00:54:24.43
OF GOD'S WORD. WE'VE
GOT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
00:54:24.46\00:54:26.70
THAT STRENGTH TO GET US
THROUGH THE TIMES OF TROUBLE
00:54:26.73\00:54:28.90
THAT ARE AHEAD. SO
WHEN IT COMES TO THE BIBLE
00:54:28.93\00:54:31.17

>>AMAZING FACTS, CHANGED LIVES.
00:55:23.79\00:55:41.40
>>MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY
WHEN I WAS THREE AND MY PATERNAL
00:55:41.44\00:55:44.91
GRANDPARENTS DECIDED THEY WOULD
CARE FOR MY TWO OLDER SISTERS
00:55:44.94\00:55:49.31
AND I SO THAT MY FATHER
WOULD HAVE TIME TO MOURN.
00:55:49.34\00:55:54.22
WE NEVER REALLY HAD A MOTHER OR
A STRONG FATHERLY FIGURE - AND
00:55:54.25\00:55:57.72
I'M NOT BLAMING MY DAD, I'M JUST
SAYING THAT'S HOW THINGS WORKED
00:55:57.75\00:56:00.66
OUT. WHEN I WAS
IN HIGH SCHOOL MY
00:56:00.69\00:56:06.76
OLDEST SISTER GOT INTO AN
ARGUMENT WITH OUR FATHER AND MY
00:56:06.80\00:56:12.40
SISTER AND I DECIDED THAT WE
WOULD TAKE HER SIDE AND SO THAT
00:56:12.43\00:56:20.48
CAUSED A SPLIT IN OUR FAMILY.
FOR FOUR YEARS WE LIVED IN THE
00:56:20.51\00:56:26.05
SAME HOUSE, WE ATE FROM THE SAME
POT, WE USED THE SAME RESTROOM,
00:56:26.08\00:56:30.62
WE WALKED BY EACH OTHER BUT
WE NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO OUR
00:56:30.65\00:56:33.05
FATHER AND HE NEVER
SAID ANYTHING TO US.
00:56:33.09\00:56:38.46
A YEAR LATER I DECIDED THAT
I WOULD MOVE OUT FOR COLLEGE.
00:56:38.49\00:56:41.80
HE WASN'T VERY HAPPY WITH THAT.
WE GOT BOOTED OUT OF THE HOUSE.
00:56:41.83\00:56:47.57
WE WENT BACK TO APOLOGIZE BUT
WE WEREN'T REALLY ACCEPTED BACK.
00:56:47.60\00:56:54.54
I HAVE FELT SO
ALONE A LOT OF MY LIFE.
00:56:54.58\00:56:57.98
I FELT LIKE I'VE HAD
TO FEND MORE FOR MYSELF.
00:56:58.01\00:57:00.78
I'VE BEEN
MISSING A FATHERLY LOVE.
00:57:00.82\00:57:04.35
I DON'T HAVE FAMILY WITH ME.
I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THINGS.
00:57:04.39\00:57:14.46
BUT I HAVE GOD AND
I'VE BEEN FULFILLED.
00:57:14.46\00:57:18.60
I'VE BEEN SATISFIED.
GOD HAS BEEN MY FATHER.
