00:31 >>BILL: JONATHAN WHITFIELD WAS PREACHING TO
00:32 COAL MINERS IN ENGLAND. HE ASKED ONE MAN, "WHAT DO 00:35 YOU BELIEVE?" "WELL, I BELIEVE THE SAME AS THE 00:41 CHURCH." "AND WHAT DOES THE CHURCH BELIEVE?" 00:42 "WELL, THEY BELIEVE THE SAME AS ME." SEEING HE WAS 00:47 GETTING NOWHERE, WHITFIELD SAID, "AND WHAT IS IT THAT 00:51 YOU BOTH BELIEVE?" "WELL, I SUPPOSE THE SAME THING." 01:00 (MUSIC) 01:09 >>ANNOUNCER: IT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. 01:11 GOD'S BOOK THE BIBLE. 01:14 STILL RELEVANT IN TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD. 01:19 IT IS WRITTEN. 01:22 SHARING MESSAGES OF HOPE AROUND THE WORLD. 01:28 (MUSIC) 01:46 22% OF AMERICANS BELIEVE PRESIDENT BUSH KNEW 01:47 ABOUT THE 9/11 ATTACKS IN ADVANCE. 30% BELIEVE 01:52 SADDAM HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. 23% BELIEVE 01:59 THEY'VE BEEN IN THE PRESENCE OF A GHOST.?18% 02:00 BELIEVE THE SUN REVOLVES AROUND THE EARTH. 48% 02:05 OF CANADIANS BELIEVE IN GHOSTS AND 10% ARE 02:09 CONVINCED THEIR OWN RESIDENCE IS HOME TO A 02:10 SUPERNATURAL PRESENCE. 02:11 PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING, BUT THEY WILL 02:12 STOP SHORT OF BELIEVING THE MOST IMPORTANT 02:14 THING. PEOPLE WILL ACCEPT ALL KINDS OF THEORIES AND 02:16 BELIEFS, BUT THEY WON'T ACCEPT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS 02:17 ABOUT JESUS CHRIST. THE FACT IS, PEOPLE ARE JADED! 02:23 OUR TEXT TODAY PRESENTS TO US A WOMAN WHO IS JADED AS 02:29 WELL. SHE HAS BEEN AROUND AND AROUND, RIDING THE 02:30 MERRY-GO-ROUND OF LIFE AND SHE WORN OUT FROM IT. 02:34 BUT, ONE DAY, JESUS CHRIST SHOWED UP OUTSIDE HER 02:38 LITTLE TOWN. SHE MEETS HIM AND HE OPENS HER EYES TO 02:39 THE FACT THAT THERE IS A NEW LIFE. A LIFE THAT IS 02:44 FREE FROM THE BURDENS AND PROBLEMS OF THE LIFE SHE 02:49 IS NOW LIVING. JESUS TAKES THIS JADED, HARDENED WOMAN 02:50 AND HE LEADS HER TO A PLACE OF TRUST. 02:55 JOHN 4: 7 - 18 04:43 THIS WOMAN CAME TO JACOB'S WELL TO DRAW WATER. BUT, 04:44 SHE DID NOT COME WHEN ALL THE OTHER WOMEN CAME. 04:47 THE WOMEN CAME TO DRAW THEIR WATER EARLY IN THE 04:52 MORNING, BEFORE THE SUN ROSE HIGH INTO THE SKY 04:53 THEY CAME WHILE IT WAS STILL COOL. HISTORY TELLS 04:56 US THAT IT WAS ABOUT A MILE FROM TOWN TO THE WELL 05:01 WHERE THEY CAME FOR WATER. 05:02 DRAWING AND CARRYING WATER FOR THE DAY WAS HOT, 05:06 SWEATY WORK. WHILE THEY WERE THERE, THEY CAUGHT 05:07 UP ON THE LOCAL GOSSIP AND ENJOYED A FEW MINUTES BY 05:12 THEMSELVES, AWAY FROM THE PRESSURES OF LIVING IN A 05:16 MALE DOMINATED SOCIETY. 05:17 WHY DID THIS ONE WOMAN NOT COME WITH THE OTHERS? 05:22 VERSE 17 TELLS US THAT SHE IS A WOMAN OF MUCH 05:23 EXPERIENCE. PERHAPS SHE HAD BEEN WITH MEN WHO 05:28 BELONGED TO SOME OF THE OTHER WOMEN. PERHAPS SHE 05:32 WAS OFTEN THE TOPIC OF THEIR GOSSIP AS THEY DREW 05:33 WATER FROM THE WELL. WHEN SHE MEETS JESUS AND WANTS 05:38 TO TELL THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY THAT THE MESSIAH HAS 05:41 COME, SHE DOES NOT GO TO THE OTHER WOMEN OF THE 05:42 TOWN, BUT SHE RUNS TO THE MEN, VERSE 28 SAYS: 05:46 "SO THE WOMAN LEFT HER WATERPOT, AND WENT INTO 05:50 THE CITY AND SAID TO THE MEN." IT WOULD SEEM THAT 05:51 THIS WOMAN WAS AN OUTCAST SOCIALLY. 06:01 IN THE COURSE OF HER CONVERSATION WITH JESUS, 06:02 HE TELLS HER THAT SHE IS EVEN ISOLATED FROM GOD. 06:05 EVEN THE LITTLE WORSHIP SHE MANAGED TO WORK INTO 06:10 HER SINFUL LIFE WAS OF NO USE FOR HER SPIRITUALLY 06:11 SHE WAS AN OUTCAST SPIRITUALLY AS 06:17 WELL. VERSES 20 - 22 06:47 IN THESE VERSES, THIS POOR WOMAN TRIES TO ARGUE 06:48 RELIGION WITH JESUS. AT FIRST, SHE SEES HIM AS 06:53 JUST ANOTHER JEW, AND SHE WANTS HIM TO KNOW THAT SHE 06:58 HAS SOME IDEAS ABOUT RELIGION TOO. SHE TALKS 06:59 ABOUT THEIR RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES. SHE USES 07:02 SARCASM AND RIDICULE. 07:03 SHE TRIES TO BRING UP A RELIGIOUS DISPUTE IN 07:09 AN ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE THE PENETRATING STATEMENTS OF 07:14 JESUS. THROUGH ALL OF THIS, JESUS SHOWS HER JUST 07:15 HOW LITTLE SHE KNOWS ABOUT GOD, ABOUT WORSHIP AND 07:21 ABOUT HERSELF. NOTICE THE LITTLE WORD "IF" IN VERSE 07:30 10 "IF YOU KNEW .... 07:31 REGARDLESS OF WHAT SHE THOUGHT SHE KNEW, JESUS 07:36 POINTS OUT TO HER THAT THERE IS ONE THING SHE 07:37 DOES NOT KNOW. SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHO JESUS IS AND 07:41 THAT IS THE MAIN THING JESUS TELLS HER THAT "IF" 07:48 SHE ONLY KNEW, SHE COULD ASK JESUS FOR "LIVING 07:49 WATER" AND SHE WOULD BE FOREVER SATISFIED! LEFT TO 07:54 HERSELF, THIS WOMAN MIGHT HAVE DIED THINKING THAT 08:00 SHE WAS ALRIGHT SPIRITUALLY. THANK GOD 08:01 THAT JESUS REACHED INTO HER DARKNESS AND DISPELLED 08:06 HER IGNORANCE ABOUT HIMSELF AND ABOUT THE WAY 08:09 OF SALVATION! HERE SHE IS, A WOMAN WITH A CHECKERED 08:11 PAST, LIVING A WICKED LIFE YET SHE FEELS THAT SHE 08:17 IS QUALIFIED TO ARGUE RELIGION WITH THE LORD 08:21 JESUS CHRIST. SHE DEMONSTRATES A CLEAR 08:23 PICTURE OF HYPOCRISY IN ACTION! 08:29 PEOPLE ATTEMPT TO DO THIS KIND OF THING ALL THE 08:30 TIME! EVERYBODY THINKS THEY ARE QUALIFIED TO 08:34 ARGUE WITH GOD. THEY SAY, "WELL, I THINK THIS OR 08:37 THAT", OR "I BELIEVE THIS WAY OR THAT WAY", OR "I 08:38 KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS, BUT." WHAT FOOLISHNESS! 08:44 HERE IS THE BOTTOM LINE: GOD SAID IT AND IT IS 08:45 SETTLED FOREVER, PSALM 119: 89 08:59 HE HAS ALREADY TOLD US THAT THE ONLY WAY TO 09:00 HEAVEN WAS THROUGH JESUS. 09:03 HE HAS ALREADY TOLD US THAT WORKS WILL NOT GET 09:04 ANYONE IN. HE HAS MADE HIS PLAN OF SALVATION CRYSTAL 09:08 CLEAR. GOD DID NOT LEAVE THIS THING OPEN TO DEBATE, 09:14 BUT HE CLEARLY, CONCISELY AND CONCRETELY STATED 09:15 HOW THINGS ARE AND IT IS SETTLED! ARGUE IF YOU 09:20 WILL, BUT IT WILL DO NO GOOD! BESIDES, WHO ARE WE 09:28 TO ARGUE WITH HIM, ROMANS 9: 20 09:49 MOST JEWS WENT MILES OUT OF THEIR WAY TO GO AROUND 09:50 SAMARIA TO AVOID COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THEM. 09:54 THE JEWS HATED THE SAMARITANS! THEY WERE 09:59 CONSIDERED TO BE AN INFERIOR RACE BECAUSE THEY 10:00 WERE DESCENDED FROM JEWS WHO HAD INTERMARRIED WITH 10:03 GENTILES THAT HAD BEEN PLACED IN THE LAND BY THE 10:08 ASSYRIANS. THANK GOD THAT JESUS DOES NOT OPERATE 10:09 LIKE OTHER MEN! HE DID NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR HERITAGE. 10:14 HE DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE HATRED OF OTHERS. HE DID 10:19 NOT CARE ABOUT THE RACIAL LINES DRAWN BY IGNORANT 10:20 MEN. HE OPERATES IN THE REALM OF GRACE! JESUS 10:26 WENT TO THAT PLACE AND SAT ON THAT WELL BECAUSE HE 10:31 WANTED TO SAVE THIS POOR WOMAN! EVEN HIS DISCIPLES 10:32 WERE SHOCKED BY WHAT JESUS HAD DONE. IF JESUS HAD 10:37 ACTED LIKE ANY OTHER JEW, HE WOULD HAVE PASSED THIS 10:43 WOMAN AND HER TOWN BY. 10:45 IF YOU AND I GOT WHAT WE DESERVED, WE WOULD HAVE 10:51 NEVER GOTTEN A SECOND LOOK FROM GOD. HE LOOKS AT US 10:52 THROUGH EYES OF LOVE AND GRACE! HE IS NOT BLIND 10:57 TO OUR SIN, BECAUSE IT SEPARATES US FROM HIM, BUT 11:02 HIS GRACE BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN US AND BRINGS HIM 11:03 NEAR TO OFFER SALVATION TO YOU AND TO ME. 11:15 A MISSIONARY WAS TRYING TO TRANSLATE THE NEW 11:16 TESTAMENT IN A LOCAL DIALECT IN AFRICA. WHEN 11:18 HE CAME TO JOHN 3:16, HE BECAME STUCK ON THE WORD 11:22 "BELIEVETH". THERE WAS NO EQUIVALENT IN THE NATIVE 11:23 TONGUE. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF WAITING, PRAYING 11:29 AND WORKING, HE STILL COULD NOT THINK OF A WAY 11:32 TO ACCURATELY TRANSLATE THAT WORD IN A WAY THE 11:33 PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE COULD UNDERSTAND. THEN ONE 11:37 DAY AS HE SAT ON THE PORCH OF HIS HOUSE PONDERING 11:41 THIS WORD, A LOCAL BOY CAME RUNNING DOWN THE DIRT 11:42 PATH TO THE MISSIONARY'S HOUSE. THE BOY CAME UP 11:47 ONTO THE PORCH AND FLOPPED DOWN INTO A CHAIR AND SAID 11:52 BREATHLESSLY, "IT IS GOOD TO CAST MY ENTIRE 11:53 WEIGHT UPON THIS CHAIR!" 11:58 INSTANTLY, THE MISSIONARY KNEW THAT HE HAD THIS 11:59 TRANSLATION. FOR, THAT IS WHAT FAITH IN JESUS IS 12:03 ALL ABOUT! IT IS ABOUT OUR CASTING THE ENTIRETY OF 12:07 OUR LIVES UPON HIM AND TRUSTING HIS GRACE TO 12:08 SUPPORT US. JESUS WORKS WITH THIS WOMAN PATIENTLY. 12:14 HE TOOK HER WHERE HE FOUND HER AND GENTLY LED HER TO 12:21 WHERE SHE NEEDED TO BE. HE BROUGHT HER TO THE PLACE 12:22 WHERE SHE WAS READY TO HEAR ABOUT HIM AND ABOUT 12:27 WHO HE WAS. THEN, WHEN HE REVEALED HIMSELF TO HER 12:31 SHE WAS AT A PLACE WHERE SHE WAS READY TO BELIEVE 12:32 ON HIM. JESUS PROMISED THIS WOMAN THAT HE 12:37 COULD GIVE HER A DRINK OF "LIVING WATER". HE 12:41 PROMISED HER THAT THIS WATER WOULD SATISFY HER IN 12:42 THE DEPTHS OF HER SOUL. I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THIS 12:48 PROBABLY APPEALED TO HER SHE HAD TRIED ALL TYPES OF 12:53 PHYSICAL RELATIONSHIPS TO SATISFY THE DEEP LONGINGS 12:54 OF HER SOUL AND THEY HAD ALL LEFT HER EMPTY AND 12:59 THIRSTY. SEX HAD NOT SATISFIED HER. MARRIAGE 13:04 HAD FAILED FIVE TIMES TO SATISFY HER. LIVING IN 13:05 THE DEPTHS OF SIN ON THE FRINGES OF SOCIETY HAD 13:09 FAILED TO BRING HER HAPPINESS. HERE, JESUS 13:14 OFFERS HER AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND EVERYTHING SHE 13:15 HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR, BY MERELY RECEIVING 13:20 HIS OFFER. 13:26 THE WORDS "DRINKS" IN VERSES 13 AND 14 ARE WORTH 13:28 NOTING TODAY. IN VERSE 13, THE WORD "DRINKS" IS IN 13:34 THE "PRESENT TENSE, ACTIVE VOICE". WHAT JESUS IS 13:41 SAYING IN VERSE 13 IS THIS, "EVEN IF YOU KEEP 13:42 ON DRINKING THE WATER FROM THIS WELL, YOU WILL GET 13:46 THIRSTY AGAIN." HOWEVER, THE WORD "DRINKS" IN VERSE 13:50 14 IS IN THE "AORIST TENSE, ACTIVE VOICE". IN 13:51 VERSE 14, JESUS IS SAYING, "BUT WHOSOEVER TAKES JUST 13:58 ONE DRINK OF THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM 14:01 SHALL NEVER THIRST." IN OTHER WORDS, JESUS IS 14:02 PROMISING THAT JUST ONE TRIP TO HIM WILL SATISFY 14:09 THE SOUL FOREVER. WOULD YOU RATHER KEEP DRINKING 14:15 FROM A WELL THAT CAN NEVER SATISFY, OR WOULD YOU 14:16 RATHER TAKE ONE DRINK FROM A FOUNTAIN THAT NEVER 14:20 FAILS TO GIVE PERFECT AND ABSOLUTE SATISFACTION? 14:27 WHEN SHE HEARS THAT JESUS IS THE MESSIAH SHE HAS ALL 14:28 THE INFORMATION SHE NEEDS. 14:34 SHE FORGETS ABOUT HER MISSION TO GET SOME WATER 14:35 FROM THE WELL, NOW, SHE WANTS TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT 14:39 THE WELL OF LIVING WATER SHE HAS EXPERIENCED! THAT 14:44 "ARTESIAN WELL" JESUS SPOKE OF IN VERSE14 IS 14:45 STARTING TO FLOW AND SHE CANNOT KEEP IT IN. SHE IS 14:50 DIFFERENT AND SHE WANTS OTHERS TO EXPERIENCE IT 14:54 TOO! NOTICE THAT SHE RUNS TO TELL THE MEN ABOUT 14:55 JESUS. WHY THE MEN? THEY ALL KNEW HER, MANY 15:04 PROBABLY KNEW HER INTIMATELY! THE OTHER 15:10 WOMEN HATED HER, BUT THE MEN LOVED HER. SO, SHE 15:11 RUNS TO THE VERY PEOPLE WHO HAD SHARED HER LIFE 15:15 OF SIN. IMAGINE HOW THEIR CURIOSITY IS PIQUED WHEN 15:21 SHE COMES RUNNING IN THEIR DIRECTION. HOWEVER, THIS 15:22 TIME THINGS ARE DIFFERENT! 15:25 NOW, SHE ISN'T TALKING ABOUT A RENDEZVOUS; SHE IS 15:26 TALKING ABOUT REDEMPTION. 15:31 SHE HASN'T COME TO ARRANGE AN AFFAIR WITH A GUY; 15:32 SHE HAS COME TO TELL ABOUT AMAZING GRACE. HE HASN'T 15:39 COME LOOKING FOR A DATE; SHE HAS COME TO TALK ABOUT 15:46 A DELIVERER! YES, SHE IS DIFFERENT, AND THE ONES 15:47 WHO KNEW HER BEST SEE THE CHANGE FIRST! 15:55 NOTICE HOW THIS WOMAN MOVED FROM NOT KNOWING 15:56 JESUS TO PROCLAIMING HIM AS THE MESSIAH. IN VERSE 16:00 9, HE IS A "JEW". IN VERSE 11, SHE CALLS HIM "SIR". 16:05 IN VERSE 19, SHE SEES HIM AS A "PROPHET". BY VERSE 16:06 29, SHE HAS REACHED THE PLACE WHERE SHE CALLS HIM 16:12 "CHRIST". SHE SEES HIM AS THE NEED OF HER SOUL. HOW 16:19 DID SHE MAKE THE PROGRESSION FROM 16:20 ANTAGONISM TO ACCEPTANCE? 16:26 SHE WAS LED ALONG GENTLY, BY THE LORD. HE BROUGHT 16:27 HER FROM KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT HIM TO SEEING HIM 16:32 AS HER ONLY HOPE IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. IT WAS A WORK 16:38 OF GRACE! IF YOU EXPECT TO EVER BE SAVED, YOU MUST 16:39 COME TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS 16:45 IS YOUR ONLY HOPE. IF YOU WILL FOLLOW THE LIGHT THE 16:50 LORD GIVES YOU, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THAT PLACE! 16:51 "THERE IS SALVATION IN NO ONE ELSE! GOD HAS GIVEN NO 16:58 OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED." 17:05 (ACTS 4:12) HAVE YOU COME TO THE PLACE IN YOUR LIFE 17:07 WHERE YOU ARE TRUSTING JESUS AND HIM ALONE FOR 17:11 YOUR SALVATION? IF NOT, THEN YOU NEED TO DO THAT 17:17 RIGHT NOW. IF YOU WILL COME TO HIM, 17:18 HE WILL SAVE YOU. 17:25 YOUR FEELING SO SMALL AND FORGOTTEN 17:34 REACH OUT TO THE ARMS OF THE LORD 17:43 HIS LIGHT LEADS YOUR SOUL FROM THE SHADOWS 17:52 YOUR LIFE WILL BE SAFE IN HIS HANDS 18:00 HE KNOWS WHEN YOU SUFFER IN SILENCE 18:09 HE FEELS ALL THE PAIN THAT YOU BARE 18:17 HE COMFORTS YOUR HEART IN YOUR SORROWS 18:26 HE HEARS WHEN YOU CRY OUT IN PRAYER 18:35 HE KNOWS WHEN YOU SUFFER IN SILENCE 18:45 HE FEELS ALL THE PAIN THAT YOU BARE 18:53 HE COMFORTS YOUR HEART IN YOUR SORROW 19:02 HE KNOWS YOU 19:06 HE LOVES YOU 19:08 HE CARES 19:18 THE DREAMS THAT YOU DREAMED HAVE 19:19 BEEN SHATTERED 19:25 YOUR MANSIONS WERE CASTLES OF SAND 19:33 DON'T LET SATAN'S POWER DEFEAT YOU 19:41 PLACE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS IN GOD'S HANDS 19:49 HE KNOWS WHEN YOU SUFFER IN SILENCE 19:58 HE FEELS ALL THE PAIN THAT YOU BARE 20:06 HE COMFORTS YOUR HEART IN YOUR SORROWS 20:15 HE HEARS WHEN YOU CRY OUT IN PRAYER 20:24 HE KNOWS WHEN YOU SUFFER IN SILENCE 20:33 HE FEELS ALL THE PAIN THAT YOU BARE 20:42 HE COMFORTS YOUR HEART IN YOUR SORROW 20:52 HE KNOWS YOU 20:55 HE LOVES YOU 20:58 HE CARES 21:11 >>BILL: LET US PRAY. 21:12 FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE THANK YOU FOR JESUS, WE THANK 21:14 YOU FOR THE GIFT OF LIFE THAT HE IS OFFERING TO ALL 21:15 THOSE THAT WILL COME. I PRAY THAT THE VIEWERS WILL 21:22 DO AS THIS WOMAN, COME TO THE SOURCE OF ALL WATER, 21:28 DRINK FROM IT AND NEVER THIRST AGAIN. I PRAY 21:29 IN JESUS NAME, AMEN. 21:37 (MUSIC) 22:19 >>BEV: FISH SWIM IN IT, FLOWERS LOVE TO BE 22:20 DRENCHED IN IT, AND YOU AND I ARE MADE UP OF ABOUT 22:24 70% OF IT! WATER HAS BEEN CALLED THE MOST ESSENTIAL 22:28 NUTRIENT, AND WITH GOOD REASON BECAUSE EVERY ONE 22:29 OF YOUR BODILY FUNCTIONS REQUIRES WATER. BREATHING, 22:33 DIGESTION, ELIMINATION - ALL REQUIRE WATER! EVERY 22:40 ONE OF YOUR BILLIONS OF CELLS NEEDS WATER 22:41 DRINKING ENOUGH WATER EACH DAY HELPS TO DECREASE THE 22:46 RISK OF KIDNEY STONES, AND URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS. 22:50 IN A UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON STUDY, IT WAS 22:51 SHOWN THAT JUST ONE GLASS OF WATER SHUT DOWN THE 22:56 HUNGER PANGS FOR ALMOST 100% OF THE STUDY 23:00 PARTICIPANTS! DID YOU KNOW THAT BY THE TIME YOU FEEL 23:01 THIRSTY, YOU'RE ACTUALLY ALREADY DEHYDRATED? MANY 23:05 OF US ARE WALKING AROUND TOTALLY PARCHED, AND WE 23:11 DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT! 23:12 AND, DO YOU KNOW THAT LACK OF WATER IS THE NUMBER ONE 23:15 TRIGGER OF DAYTIME FATIGUE? SO, HOW MUCH 23:16 WATER DO WE NEED? THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT 23:21 EQUATIONS, BUT IT'S PROBABLY SAFE TO SAY THAT 23:25 DEPENDING ON YOUR BODY SIZE AND YOUR ACTIVITY 23:26 LEVEL, YOUR BODY NEEDS BETWEEN 6 - 10 CUPS 23:29 OF WATER EACH DAY. A GOOD RULE OF THUMB IS TO DRINK 23:34 ENOUGH TO KEEP YOUR URINE PALE. I KNOW, THAT MAY 23:35 SOUND LIKE A LOT, BUT HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO KEEP YOU 23:40 NICELY HYDRATED: DRINK TWO CUPS FIRST THING IN THE 23:46 MORNING. IT WILL HELP TO CLEANSE YOUR BODY AFTER 23:47 YOUR NIGHTLY REST. DRINK WATER BETWEEN YOUR MEALS, 23:50 NOT WITH YOUR MEALS. WHY DO I SAY THAT? IF YOU'RE 23:54 DRINKING WITH YOUR MEALS, YOU ARE DILUTING THOSE 23:55 POWERFUL GASTRIC JUICES THAT ARE NECESSARY TO 23:59 REALLY GET YOUR FOOD FULLY DIGESTED. SO, TRY TO WAIT 24:04 AT LEAST AN HOUR AFTER YOU FINISH YOUR MEALS TO START 24:05 DRINKING. FOR THOSE 6-10 CUPS, IT REALLY IS BEST 24:09 TO DRINK PLAIN WATER. BY THAT, I MEAN NOT JUICE, 24:16 NOT POP, NOT MILK, JUST PLAIN WATER. YOUR BODY 24:17 WILL THANK YOU FOR IT. YOU KNOW, IN JOHN 4:10, JESUS 24:23 TELLS US THAT HE IS THE SOURCE OF LIVING WATER AND 24:29 THAT ANYONE WHO DRINKS FROM HIM WILL NEVER THIRST 24:30 AGAIN. SO, CHEERS! DRINK UP! IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL 24:36 INFORMATION ON HEALTHY EATING, VISIT OUR IT IS 24:40 WRITTEN WEBSITE AT WWW.IIW.CA, GO TO THE LIVE 24:41 HEALTHY PAGE, AND YOU'LL FIND LINKS TO LOTS 24:46 OF GREAT RESOURCES. 24:47 SEE YOU NEXT TIME! 25:26 >>MATTHEW: PHILIP YANCEY ONCE SAID, NO-ONE WHO 25:27 MEETS JESUS EVER STAYS THE SAME. WE SAW FIRST HAND IN 25:31 TODAY'S STORY. WHEN THIS CHILD OF GOD CAME FACE TO 25:36 FACE WITH JESUS, THEY WERE TRANSFORMED IN A MOMENT 25:37 IN THEIR ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS, THEY GOT A GLIMPS 25:43 OF WHAT THEIR LIVES COULD BE LIKE WITH HIM AS THEIR 25:46 LORD AND THEY CHOSE A LIFE WITH JESUS. THIS IS 25:47 EXACTLY WHY JESUS CAME INTO THIS WORLD. ANYONE 25:53 WHO SPENT ANY TIME WITH HIM AT ALL, HEARD DIRECTLY 25:58 FROM HIS LIPS, "FOR THE SON OF MAN CAME TO SEEK 25:59 AND SAVE THAT WHICH WAS LOST". PASTOR BILL SANTOS 26:05 HAS WRITTEN A SMALL BOOK AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEND 26:09 IT TO YOU AS A GIFT, HERE IS THE INFORMATION YOU 26:10 NEED TO GET YOUR COPY. 27:17 >>BILL: WELL, ANOTHER IT IS WRITTEN PROGRAM HAS 27:18 COME TO AN END AND I'M GLAD YOU WERE HERE 27:21 WITH US. REMEMBER TO VISIT THE WEB-SIT 27:23 WWW.ITISWRITTENCANADA.CA. 27:24 OUR PLAN IS TO BE BACK HERE AGAIN NEXT WEEK AND 27:30 WE ARE PRAYING THAT THAT WILL BE A REALITY, I HOPE 27:31 YOU WILL JOIN US. UNTIL THEN, REMEMBER, IT 27:33 IS WRITTEN, MAN SHALL NO LIVE BY BREAD ALONE BUT BY 27:38 EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. |
