Hello and welcome to
"Help in Daily Living."
00:00:38.56\00:00:41.03
This is the first
of the 13-part series
00:00:41.04\00:00:43.56
based on this little
book "Help in Daily Living."
00:00:43.57\00:00:46.28
The four chapters of this
book are full of practical
00:00:46.29\00:00:49.75
down to the
earth everyday guidance
00:00:49.76\00:00:51.78
to make Christianity
real and meaningful.
00:00:51.79\00:00:54.41
The few chapters
of this little book
00:00:54.42\00:00:56.15
are actually the
closing section of the popular
00:00:56.16\00:00:59.01
and widely read book
"Ministry of Healing."
00:00:59.02\00:01:02.24
This entire series was
produced by the students
00:01:02.25\00:01:05.05
and staff of
Fountainview Academy
00:01:05.06\00:01:06.84
in beautiful British Columbia,
00:01:06.85\00:01:08.38
but we're obviously
not there right now.
00:01:08.39\00:01:10.04
We are here in
the island of Kauai,
00:01:10.05\00:01:12.45
one of the Hawaiian
Islands to film this production.
00:01:12.46\00:01:16.03
We hope that the music
and message of this production
00:01:16.04\00:01:19.97
will help you to cope with
the realities of daily living
00:01:19.98\00:01:23.63
and walking with Jesus.
00:01:23.64\00:01:25.74
On today's
program, we're gonna be
00:01:25.75\00:01:27.14
looking at the
important topic of "influence."
00:01:27.15\00:01:30.17
But before we begin,
00:01:30.18\00:01:31.17
I'm gonna ask Cyrus to
lead us in a word of prayer.
00:01:31.18\00:01:37.17
Dear Heavenly Father, Lord,
00:01:37.18\00:01:38.70
thank you for
this beautiful place
00:01:38.71\00:01:40.09
we can come to and I ask that
00:01:40.10\00:01:42.61
You will be with
us each individually
00:01:42.62\00:01:44.17
now as we come
together in fellowship.
00:01:44.18\00:01:46.80
Lord, as we
begin this production,
00:01:46.81\00:01:48.84
I ask that You would help
us in our daily lives, Lord.
00:01:48.85\00:01:53.48
And that our influence would be
00:01:53.49\00:01:55.45
uplifting instead
of degrading, Lord.
00:01:55.46\00:01:57.73
Thank you for
this and be with us now
00:01:57.74\00:01:59.72
in Jesus name I
pray, amen. Amen.
00:01:59.73\00:02:02.48
Every morning I
wake up, get out of bed
00:02:04.94\00:02:08.00
and take my Bible to go
spend time alone with God.
00:02:08.01\00:02:11.50
But so many
times as I kneel down
00:02:11.51\00:02:13.93
by the couch to pray,
00:02:13.94\00:02:15.40
a runaway thought
chain raises through my mind.
00:02:15.41\00:02:18.36
And I find myself
thinking about all my problems
00:02:18.37\00:02:21.47
and worries, my plans and ideas.
00:02:21.48\00:02:24.85
I get so distracted wondering
00:02:24.86\00:02:27.40
what am I gonna do about this
00:02:27.41\00:02:29.08
or wondering if
I should do that?
00:02:29.09\00:02:31.70
And I begin to get anxious,
00:02:31.71\00:02:33.99
but then God
whispers in my ear and says,
00:02:34.00\00:02:36.85
"Be still and
know that I'm God."
00:02:36.86\00:02:39.72
Reminding me that the
reason I'm on my knees
00:02:39.73\00:02:42.84
spending time with Him
00:02:42.85\00:02:44.36
is so that I can
be prepared to live
00:02:44.37\00:02:46.80
the quite
consistent life of a Christian.
00:02:46.81\00:02:50.45
But I cannot have
a loving influence
00:02:50.46\00:02:52.61
and reflect Jesus unless
I'm at peace with His love
00:02:52.62\00:02:56.46
flowing in my heart.
00:02:56.47\00:02:58.26
When I begin to
take anxious thought,
00:02:58.27\00:03:00.41
I must have
confidence that the voice
00:03:00.42\00:03:02.80
who ruled the winds and waves
00:03:02.81\00:03:04.98
belongs to the one who
will silence my worries,
00:03:04.99\00:03:08.03
take care of my
plans, and give me peace,
00:03:08.04\00:03:11.23
if I would but be still.
00:03:11.24\00:03:13.25
In the heart of
Jesus there is love for you
00:03:36.05\00:03:49.38
Love most pure and
tender love most deep and true
00:03:49.39\00:04:02.64
Why should you be
lonely why for friendship sigh
00:04:02.65\00:04:15.77
When the heart of
Jesus has a full supply
00:04:15.78\00:04:31.05
In the mind of Jesus
there is thought for you
00:04:31.06\00:04:44.59
Warm as summer
sunshine sweet as morning dew
00:04:44.60\00:04:57.98
Why should you be
fearful why take anxious thought
00:04:57.99\00:05:11.61
When the mind of Jesus
cares for those He bought
00:05:11.62\00:05:26.74
Be still, my soul
thy God doth undertake
00:05:40.09\00:05:54.28
To guide the
future as He has the past
00:05:54.29\00:06:07.92
Thy hope, thy
confidence let nothing shake
00:06:07.93\00:06:22.38
All that's mysterious
shall be bright at last
00:06:22.39\00:06:36.02
Be still, my soul the
waves and winds still know
00:06:36.03\00:06:50.05
His voice Who ruled
them while He dwelt below
00:06:50.06\00:07:03.38
Be still, my soul
the hour is hastening on
00:07:35.87\00:07:49.63
When we shall be
forever with the Lord
00:07:49.64\00:08:03.12
When disappointment
grief and fear are gone
00:08:03.13\00:08:16.71
Sorrow forgot
love's purest joys restored
00:08:16.72\00:08:30.68
Be still, my soul when
change and tears are past
00:08:30.69\00:08:44.36
All safe and blessed
00:08:44.37\00:08:50.23
we shall meet at last
00:08:50.24\00:09:04.47
at last at last
00:09:04.48\00:09:19.50
Obviously Christ has had
00:09:29.96\00:09:31.15
an influence in
your life, Brooke.
00:09:31.16\00:09:33.06
How do you shared
that influence with others,
00:09:33.07\00:09:34.51
were you successful?
00:09:34.52\00:09:36.08
Ah, definitely
not at the beginning.
00:09:36.09\00:09:38.65
When I first came back
from selling Christian books,
00:09:38.66\00:09:41.45
my life did a complete like 180,
00:09:41.46\00:09:43.99
like almost every
aspect was different like,
00:09:44.00\00:09:45.83
I didn't like the same music
00:09:45.84\00:09:47.33
and just my taste
of food was different.
00:09:47.34\00:09:49.42
And the biggest one
has been I quit playing
00:09:49.43\00:09:50.80
competitive sports.
00:09:50.81\00:09:52.02
And so I went
back to school like,
00:09:52.03\00:09:53.83
I wanted to share with everybody
00:09:53.84\00:09:55.18
what God had
been doing in my life,
00:09:55.19\00:09:56.54
but it seems like every
time I would share it like,
00:09:56.55\00:09:59.56
it would just go wrong
and as I'm uncomfortable,
00:09:59.57\00:10:01.73
and people just, they
didn't want to listen to me,
00:10:01.74\00:10:03.89
and I didn't
understand what I was doing?
00:10:03.90\00:10:05.47
And so I recognized that,
instead of like sharing them
00:10:05.48\00:10:08.33
and encouraging
them it was more like,
00:10:08.34\00:10:10.05
I was like Bible bashing them
00:10:10.06\00:10:11.75
or like kind of
showering down their throat like
00:10:11.76\00:10:13.08
this is what you're doing wrong,
00:10:13.09\00:10:14.08
this is what I'm
doing right. Yeah.
00:10:14.09\00:10:15.54
And at the most stressful was
when I would go home because,
00:10:15.55\00:10:18.35
you know, it's most
comfortable with your family
00:10:18.36\00:10:20.18
and I tell to mom,
00:10:20.19\00:10:21.29
I'm not gonna do
that because of this,
00:10:21.30\00:10:22.54
or dad you shouldn't
do that because of that,
00:10:22.55\00:10:24.02
and it was just
really stressful situation
00:10:24.03\00:10:26.40
and eventually
like my friend Heidi,
00:10:26.41\00:10:29.66
who was one of my mentors
00:10:29.67\00:10:30.80
kind of
recognize what I was doing.
00:10:30.81\00:10:32.13
And she kind of pulled me aside
00:10:32.14\00:10:33.22
and we talked,
00:10:33.23\00:10:34.22
and she just kind of
give me example of Christ.
00:10:34.23\00:10:36.20
And how the first
30 years of His life,
00:10:36.21\00:10:38.58
He spent like serving others
instead of preaching at them
00:10:38.59\00:10:42.02
and the last
three years of His life
00:10:42.03\00:10:43.35
was when He did like
His full time ministry.
00:10:43.36\00:10:45.43
And I started to recognize that
00:10:45.44\00:10:46.87
before I can ever
start preaching at someone,
00:10:46.88\00:10:48.98
I need to show
them like the influence
00:10:48.99\00:10:50.24
of the loving a Christian.
00:10:50.25\00:10:52.34
And I praise God, because
He's helped me in learning
00:10:52.35\00:10:55.04
how to do that especially
at home with my family
00:10:55.05\00:10:56.92
and friends to show them that,
00:10:56.93\00:10:58.33
you know, show them
Jesus first, you know.
00:10:58.34\00:11:00.22
Praise the Lord.
00:11:00.23\00:11:01.45
In your life, Alley,
what's your influence
00:11:01.46\00:11:04.29
that brought you to Lord?
00:11:04.30\00:11:06.57
Well, there are many influences,
00:11:06.58\00:11:09.13
but one of them was my sister.
00:11:09.14\00:11:12.28
It didn't start
all that way though.
00:11:12.29\00:11:14.99
When I was younger, we
didn't get along at all.
00:11:15.00\00:11:19.98
I used to tease her a lot,
00:11:19.99\00:11:21.10
I would just do things to
annoy her on purpose like,
00:11:21.11\00:11:23.86
like just drumming my
fingers on the table constantly
00:11:23.87\00:11:26.10
or cooking by tagine,
00:11:26.11\00:11:27.12
just little things like
that would drive her crazy.
00:11:27.13\00:11:30.36
And I would do that on purpose
00:11:30.37\00:11:31.61
and I remember one
time she'd just made lunch
00:11:31.62\00:11:34.32
and I was
making some weird noise
00:11:34.33\00:11:37.66
and she is like
Alley, if you don't stop that
00:11:37.67\00:11:39.70
I'm gonna shove this
macaroni in your ear.
00:11:39.71\00:11:42.83
And I was just
like, okay whatever
00:11:42.84\00:11:44.34
and I just kept
doing it and she did.
00:11:44.35\00:11:47.31
And yeah, it's so interesting.
00:11:47.32\00:11:51.92
But, there were
other things too like,
00:11:51.93\00:11:54.29
my mom would ask us to do
00:11:54.30\00:11:55.64
like to fold the
laundry or something.
00:11:55.65\00:11:57.65
And she would beautifully
trying to fold the laundry
00:11:57.66\00:12:00.50
and get the job done and
I'll be playing in the clothes,
00:12:00.51\00:12:02.41
because I just didn't
care and can you believe,
00:12:02.42\00:12:04.69
how we need to get this done,
00:12:04.70\00:12:05.90
you should don't
want to get in trouble?
00:12:05.91\00:12:07.57
And I just be like,
yeah whatever and like,
00:12:07.58\00:12:10.07
it was just not very good.
00:12:10.08\00:12:11.39
And then when she was a
freshman in high school,
00:12:11.40\00:12:14.87
she went away to Fountainview.
00:12:14.88\00:12:16.37
And when she came home on break,
00:12:16.38\00:12:19.33
I noticed a change in
her, she was a lot kinder to me
00:12:19.34\00:12:23.14
and she was a lot nice to me,
00:12:23.15\00:12:24.16
and she really try
to share her faith.
00:12:24.17\00:12:25.86
And that, you think
that would have been
00:12:25.87\00:12:27.88
made me want to be kind of
her and appreciate her more,
00:12:27.89\00:12:30.82
but it actually
did the opposite.
00:12:30.83\00:12:32.70
I felt really, it
just made me so angry
00:12:32.71\00:12:35.37
and I just got so
annoyed and irritated with her
00:12:35.38\00:12:37.69
because she was so nice.
00:12:37.70\00:12:39.37
And I was just,
00:12:39.38\00:12:41.51
she could walk into her
room, and I'll be mad at her.
00:12:41.52\00:12:43.37
I remember one time we,
00:12:43.38\00:12:45.50
she was home on
Thanksgiving break
00:12:45.51\00:12:46.94
and my mom asked me, she's say,
00:12:46.95\00:12:48.04
Alley and Katie, I want a break,
00:12:48.05\00:12:49.29
I wanted you to do the dishes.
00:12:49.30\00:12:50.91
And doing the dishes
was just another thing
00:12:50.92\00:12:53.06
I hated and so I
walked over to the sink
00:12:53.07\00:12:59.23
and Katie being her lovely self,
00:12:59.24\00:13:01.80
she comes out, she like,
oh, Alley, "I'll help you,
00:13:01.81\00:13:04.15
we can do them together."
00:13:04.16\00:13:06.53
And oh, my
goodness, I was so mad at her,
00:13:06.54\00:13:09.82
like I didn't even say anything,
00:13:09.83\00:13:10.87
I just, just kept
doing what I was doing.
00:13:10.88\00:13:13.30
And yeah, I just glared
to her as best as I could.
00:13:13.31\00:13:16.91
And yeah, so it was
really hard like I just,
00:13:16.92\00:13:22.30
I just had such
anger towards her,
00:13:22.31\00:13:24.13
but eventually
the life move along
00:13:24.14\00:13:27.01
and I realized what
this, this needs to stop,
00:13:27.02\00:13:29.25
I need to, she's
being consistently kind,
00:13:29.26\00:13:32.50
she never retaliate, never once.
00:13:32.51\00:13:34.83
She never liked snapped
back when she so could have,
00:13:34.84\00:13:37.68
I would have totally deserve it,
00:13:37.69\00:13:39.61
but she never did.
00:13:39.62\00:13:40.68
And eventually that
got to me and I realized,
00:13:40.69\00:13:43.90
look I need to stop
this, and by God's grace I did.
00:13:43.91\00:13:46.89
And now she is
like my best friend
00:13:46.90\00:13:49.67
and because of the influence
she has had on my life,
00:13:49.68\00:13:51.82
because we developed that bond,
00:13:51.83\00:13:53.50
I went to trust her
00:13:53.51\00:13:54.85
because she was
consistently kind to me.
00:13:54.86\00:13:56.62
I began to love her
and because I loved her,
00:13:56.63\00:13:59.13
I was willing to listen to her
00:13:59.14\00:14:00.32
when she talked
to me about Christ
00:14:00.33\00:14:02.37
and she talked to me about God
00:14:02.38\00:14:03.88
and having my devotions
00:14:03.89\00:14:05.14
and I wouldn't
be who I am today,
00:14:05.15\00:14:07.67
if she hadn't been that
loving Christian to me. Amen.
00:14:07.68\00:14:11.65
Do you have a person in
your life who has a calm,
00:14:13.66\00:14:15.99
quiet influence that
glues you beliefs together.
00:14:16.00\00:14:18.95
In my family, my
grandfather is that person.
00:14:18.96\00:14:21.67
Whenever we get
together for holidays or meals,
00:14:21.68\00:14:24.27
we don't start eating until
00:14:24.28\00:14:25.33
my grandfather
has said the blessing.
00:14:25.34\00:14:27.16
Although he isn't
loud and boisterous,
00:14:27.17\00:14:28.89
he sets the
atmosphere for the whole time
00:14:28.90\00:14:30.62
that we're together.
00:14:30.63\00:14:32.12
He not only has that
influence on her family,
00:14:32.13\00:14:34.48
but on our community as well.
00:14:34.49\00:14:36.92
Support from my belief
and my grandfather's integrity
00:14:36.93\00:14:39.56
came once at a local auction.
00:14:39.57\00:14:41.87
The auctioneer was
rambling on about different cows
00:14:41.88\00:14:44.25
and then came to
my grandfather's cows.
00:14:44.26\00:14:46.36
He stopped the whole auction
00:14:46.37\00:14:47.70
and said before I start
the bidding on these cows
00:14:47.71\00:14:50.31
I just wanted to
let you know that
00:14:50.32\00:14:51.60
these are Paul Miller's cows.
00:14:51.61\00:14:53.56
Now I've known
this man for many years
00:14:53.57\00:14:55.33
and I have come
to the conclusion
00:14:55.34\00:14:56.99
that he is the most
honest man I've ever met
00:14:57.00\00:14:59.45
and that he will
stand behind these cows.
00:14:59.46\00:15:02.07
A lot of the current business
transactions on our farm
00:15:02.08\00:15:04.84
are sealed with a hand shake
00:15:04.85\00:15:06.24
because of my
grandfather's integrity.
00:15:06.25\00:15:09.49
How has my grandfather
become a man of integrity,
00:15:09.50\00:15:13.28
by being consistent
in his everyday choices?
00:15:13.29\00:15:17.31
You know, you and I
need to set a standard
00:15:17.32\00:15:20.33
for our Christian walk
00:15:20.34\00:15:21.59
and if we're just
floating around in like swamps,
00:15:21.60\00:15:23.89
there is no way our
circumstances will improve.
00:15:23.90\00:15:26.64
But if we set our
sights on a higher standard,
00:15:26.65\00:15:29.31
then we'll naturally
gravitate towards it.
00:15:29.32\00:15:32.67
When people look at us,
00:15:32.68\00:15:34.65
they are able to tell
what we're focused on.
00:15:34.66\00:15:37.43
Whether it's God or ourselves?
00:15:37.44\00:15:40.57
What do they see
when they will get you?
00:15:40.58\00:15:43.05
Teach, me, Father, what to say
Teach me, Father, how to pray
00:16:07.64\00:16:21.48
Teach me all along the
way How to be like Jesus
00:16:21.49\00:16:36.12
Be like Jesus, this my song
In the home and in the throng
00:16:36.13\00:16:50.12
Be like Jesus, all day
long I would be like Jesus
00:16:50.13\00:17:05.14
Teach me how will may be
one Like the Father and the Son
00:17:05.15\00:17:19.72
And when all is
overcome I will be like Jesus
00:17:19.73\00:17:35.23
Be like Jesus, this my song
In the home and in the throng
00:17:35.24\00:17:49.31
Be like Jesus, all day
long I would be like Jesus
00:17:49.32\00:18:06.25
Be like Jesus, this my song
In the home and in the throng
00:18:25.15\00:18:38.91
Be like Jesus, all day
long I would be like Jesus
00:18:38.92\00:18:57.56
You know, the
influence of Christ
00:19:01.81\00:19:03.27
in our lives is so great.
00:19:03.28\00:19:05.25
We just want to
share that with others
00:19:05.26\00:19:06.49
and sometimes we get it right
00:19:06.50\00:19:07.54
and sometimes we
blow it and just fail.
00:19:07.55\00:19:12.01
You know in my experience,
I've definitely failed.
00:19:12.02\00:19:14.82
I, some years back I
had this group of friends
00:19:14.83\00:19:18.06
that I was hanging out
with and whatever we did,
00:19:18.07\00:19:20.83
you know we did
together basically.
00:19:20.84\00:19:23.47
And what we did wasn't really,
00:19:23.48\00:19:25.73
you know, the
most uplifting things
00:19:25.74\00:19:27.21
to do like our
conversation was very degrading
00:19:27.22\00:19:30.12
and we were just really dump.
00:19:30.13\00:19:32.15
And once in a while
somebody would pop up and say,
00:19:32.16\00:19:38.34
"you know guys, what
we're doing isn't really right?"
00:19:38.35\00:19:40.99
But that was, you
know, it was usually diffused
00:19:41.00\00:19:43.25
and we just forgot
about it after a while.
00:19:43.26\00:19:45.81
But looking back now, I
have a feeling of remorse
00:19:45.82\00:19:49.32
and guilt on what sort of
influence I had on my friends
00:19:49.33\00:19:52.31
and especially people
who are looking at us. Yeah.
00:19:52.32\00:19:55.21
You know, and in
Help in Daily Living,
00:19:55.22\00:19:57.61
it says that, "It is our
own character and experience
00:19:57.62\00:20:00.58
that determine our
influence on others."
00:20:00.59\00:20:02.70
And I've
definitely failed at that,
00:20:02.71\00:20:05.17
but God is not teaching me
to be more dependent on Him
00:20:05.18\00:20:09.12
instead of
depended on others. Yes.
00:20:09.13\00:20:10.95
So that my
influence will change,
00:20:10.96\00:20:13.67
you know, myself, my
influence will change
00:20:13.68\00:20:16.60
and then the influence on
others that I have to change.
00:20:16.61\00:20:19.55
Yeah, so I have
got positive influence
00:20:19.56\00:20:21.45
is a constant
daily surrender to Him.
00:20:21.46\00:20:24.50
Have you had that
experience, Megan?
00:20:24.51\00:20:25.92
I have, there was opportunity
last year that I had,
00:20:25.93\00:20:31.25
it was on spring
break at my uncle's house.
00:20:31.26\00:20:33.67
And he was holding a Bible study
00:20:33.68\00:20:35.36
for all of his
friends and neighbors
00:20:35.37\00:20:37.09
and there was a
family with a few teenagers
00:20:37.10\00:20:38.86
that were coming,
that were of my age.
00:20:38.87\00:20:41.03
And at that Bible study I
was talking with the sister,
00:20:41.04\00:20:46.13
and she was telling
me about all her interest
00:20:46.14\00:20:48.83
in different things
and I was telling her
00:20:48.84\00:20:50.01
what I like to do
and about my school.
00:20:50.02\00:20:52.10
And every single
thing that I said,
00:20:52.11\00:20:54.02
she would say
something negative,
00:20:54.03\00:20:56.01
or sarcastic,
or mark back to me.
00:20:56.02\00:20:58.21
I was really having a
hard time holding my tongue
00:20:58.22\00:21:00.92
and not saying
something back to her.
00:21:00.93\00:21:03.85
And I have prayed
that God would help me
00:21:03.86\00:21:05.28
be a positive
influence upon them
00:21:05.29\00:21:07.57
and help them to want him more.
00:21:07.58\00:21:10.59
And so later on in that evening,
00:21:10.60\00:21:14.37
the two brothers came
up to me and they said,
00:21:14.38\00:21:17.08
"Megan, why are
you so different?
00:21:17.09\00:21:19.32
Why, how can you be so happy
00:21:19.33\00:21:20.94
the whole evening
even when our sister
00:21:20.95\00:21:22.40
makes remarks to you?"
00:21:22.41\00:21:24.72
And it surprised
me because I thought,
00:21:24.73\00:21:28.93
you know, God was
able to use even that,
00:21:28.94\00:21:32.88
that small opportunity
00:21:32.89\00:21:34.34
to have a powerful
impact upon them. Amen.
00:21:34.35\00:21:37.25
And it says in Help in
Daily Living on page 8,
00:21:37.26\00:21:43.47
"No other influence that
can surround the human soul
00:21:43.48\00:21:46.76
has such a power
00:21:46.77\00:21:47.76
as the influence
of an unselfish life.
00:21:47.77\00:21:50.53
The strongest argument
00:21:50.54\00:21:51.54
in favor of the gospel
00:21:51.55\00:21:52.73
is a loving and
lovable Christian."
00:21:52.74\00:21:55.54
God turn my
selfishness into something
00:21:55.55\00:21:58.85
that was loving and
lovable and help them
00:21:58.86\00:22:02.71
see that there is
something more out there
00:22:02.72\00:22:05.95
and made them want Christ more.
00:22:05.96\00:22:08.14
Yeah, and to have
that powerful influence,
00:22:08.15\00:22:09.86
you had to
practice self restraint
00:22:09.87\00:22:12.11
and totally trust in the Lord
00:22:12.12\00:22:13.89
to help you and He came through.
00:22:13.90\00:22:15.60
It's only
through His grace. Amen.
00:22:15.61\00:22:17.77
I love fruit.
00:22:20.07\00:22:21.52
This fruit has a
label on it to help me
00:22:21.53\00:22:23.84
identify what
kind of fruit this is.
00:22:23.85\00:22:26.01
But I don't need a sticker
to tell me that this is a kiwi,
00:22:26.02\00:22:30.12
I know that's a kiwi
simply by looking at it.
00:22:30.13\00:22:32.88
In the same way, the
badge of Christianity
00:22:32.89\00:22:35.74
is not an outward sign,
00:22:35.75\00:22:37.54
it's not the wearing of a cross,
00:22:37.55\00:22:39.53
but it's an inward experience,
00:22:39.54\00:22:41.18
it's that which reveals
the union of man with God.
00:22:41.19\00:22:44.55
Jesus said the same thing
00:22:44.56\00:22:46.02
when He was
talking to His followers.
00:22:46.03\00:22:47.65
He said, "By this
they will know that
00:22:47.66\00:22:50.17
you are my disciples,
if you love one another."
00:22:50.18\00:22:53.17
How will others be able
to see that I am a Christian?
00:22:53.18\00:22:55.94
They will see Christ
love shining out through me.
00:22:55.95\00:22:58.91
There is beauty all
around When there's love at home
00:23:12.26\00:23:22.71
There is joy in every
sound When there's love at home
00:23:22.72\00:23:33.37
Peace and plenty here abide
Smiling sweet on every side
00:23:33.38\00:23:43.82
Time doth softly sweetly glide
00:23:43.83\00:23:49.25
When there's love at home
00:23:49.26\00:23:54.86
Kindly heaven smiles
above When there's love at home
00:23:54.87\00:24:05.57
All the earth
is filled with love
00:24:05.58\00:24:10.79
When there's love at home
00:24:10.80\00:24:16.00
Sweeter sings the brooklet
by Brighter beams the azure sky
00:24:16.01\00:24:26.69
Oh, there's One
who smiles on high
00:24:26.70\00:24:31.95
When there's love at home
00:24:31.96\00:24:37.41
Love at home love at home
00:24:37.42\00:24:48.33
Time doth softly sweetly glide
00:24:48.34\00:24:53.63
When there's love at home
00:24:53.64\00:24:59.52
Jesus, make me wholly
Thine Then there's love at home
00:24:59.53\00:25:09.73
May Thy sacrifice be
mine Then there's love at home
00:25:09.74\00:25:19.85
Safely from all harm I'll rest
With no sinful care distressed
00:25:19.86\00:25:29.72
Through Thy tender mercy blessed
00:25:29.73\00:25:34.77
When there's love at home
00:25:34.78\00:25:40.17
Love at home love at home
00:25:40.18\00:25:51.20
Time doth softly sweetly glide
00:25:51.21\00:25:56.70
When there's love at home
00:25:56.71\00:26:02.44
"There isn't
eloquence far more powerful
00:26:25.30\00:26:27.61
than the eloquence
of words in the quite,
00:26:27.62\00:26:29.38
consistent life of a
pure, true Christian."
00:26:29.39\00:26:32.28
That person to me
is my grandfather,
00:26:32.29\00:26:34.78
like my family we go
and visit him and it's like,
00:26:34.79\00:26:38.42
he lived in like one of
those cookie cutter type houses,
00:26:38.43\00:26:40.66
it wasn't like
anything fancy yet.
00:26:40.67\00:26:42.40
But he has this
amazing garden and so we go
00:26:42.41\00:26:44.42
and like had
pomegranates and figs,
00:26:44.43\00:26:46.33
and you know,
tangerines and we just loved,
00:26:46.34\00:26:48.68
it's just such a wonderful break
00:26:48.69\00:26:50.52
from my hectic lifestyle to go
into his lifestyle simplicity.
00:26:50.53\00:26:54.22
And like the thing is though
is that just by observing him
00:26:54.23\00:26:59.39
like I learned so much
00:26:59.40\00:27:00.39
because he doesn't
really speak English
00:27:00.40\00:27:03.31
and I don't really speak Korean,
00:27:03.32\00:27:04.66
so conversation
such as you know,
00:27:04.67\00:27:06.96
how was your day or
what school like, you know.
00:27:06.97\00:27:09.07
It doesn't
really, it doesn't really,
00:27:09.08\00:27:11.07
they're kind o nonexistent.
00:27:11.08\00:27:12.55
And so like the eloquence
of his life was so much
00:27:12.56\00:27:18.08
and powerful than the word,
00:27:18.09\00:27:19.36
like a few words that he did say
00:27:19.37\00:27:21.17
and through that
like I've learned
00:27:21.18\00:27:22.98
what it meant to be a
loving and lovable Christian
00:27:22.99\00:27:25.63
and it showed me like
what I want just like to be.
00:27:25.64\00:27:28.24
Wow, that's really
00:27:28.25\00:27:29.39
what influence is
all about. That's right.
00:27:29.40\00:27:31.32
Now, Alley, I'm gonna ask you to
00:27:31.33\00:27:32.34
closing the
word of prayer. Okay.
00:27:32.35\00:27:35.31
Father, God, You live the truth
00:27:35.32\00:27:37.38
before You ever
spoke it to anyone.
00:27:37.39\00:27:39.65
And I just pray that
You'll help us to do the same.
00:27:39.66\00:27:42.82
We can't do
that on our own Lord,
00:27:42.83\00:27:44.27
so, please put
Your character in us.
00:27:44.28\00:27:45.82
So, all people need to
do is look at our lives
00:27:45.83\00:27:47.92
to see a picture
of You in Jesus name.
00:27:47.93\00:27:50.40
amen. Amen.
