00:01 >>BILL: FEELING BLUE? TRY MOVING TO NEW BRUNSWICK,
00:02 WHERE PEOPLE RATE THEMSELVES AMONG THE MOST 00:05 BLISSFUL IN THE COUNTRY, ACCORDING TO A SURVEY. A 00:09 QUEBEC POLLING COMPANY SURVEYED 2,300 CANADIANS 00:10 AND RANKED THE PROVINCES INDIVIDUALLY. NEW 00:14 BRUNSWICK SCORED HIGHEST WITH A 78.6 OUT OF 100 AS 00:19 THE HAPPIEST IN THE COUNTRY, BUT JUST NEXT 00:20 DOOR, NOVA SCOTIA SCORED LOWEST AT 72.8. 00:29 (MUSIC) 00:38 >>ANNOUNCER: IT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME 00:41 GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE 00:44 STILL RELEVANT IN TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD 00:49 IT IS WRITTEN . . . 00:51 SHARING MESSAGES OF HOPE AROUND THE WORLD. 00:56 (MUSIC) 01:08 THE SURVEY SUGGESTS MONEY DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO DO 01:09 WITH HAPPINESS AT ALL, AS THE WESTERN CANADIAN 01:13 PROVINCES SCORED LOWEST WHILE THE POORER EASTERN 01:18 ONES SCORED HIGHEST. 01:19 QUEBEC COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT PIERRE COTE 01:23 DESIGNED THE SURVEY AFTER BEING FRUSTRATED BY 01:24 THE EMPHASIS ON MONEY IN CANADIAN POLITICS. HE 01:28 SAYS MONEY DOESN'T MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY, BUT ONLY 01:33 CONTRIBUTES TO CONTENTMENT. COTE SUGGESTS 01:34 NOVA SCOTIA'S LOWER SCORE MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE 01:39 PERVASIVE BELIEF AMONG RESPONDENTS THAT THEIR 01:42 LIVES WERE BETTER 50 YEARS AGO THAN THEY ARE TODAY. 01:43 BUT IN NEW BRUNSWICK, HE SAYS RESPONDENTS RATED 01:46 SPIRITUALITY HIGHER THAN ANYONE ELSE ACROSS THE 01:53 COUNTRY, AND SEEMED MOST CONTENT WITH THEIR LIVES 01:54 IN THE PRESENT. "NEW BRUNSWICKERS ARE MUCH MORE 01:59 OPEN, ENJOYING THEIR LIFE THE WAY IT IS. THEY LIKE 02:05 WHAT THEY HAVE," COTE SAID. NEW BRUNSWICK'S 02:06 GENERAL CONTENTMENT IS A PARADOX, HE SAYS, BECAUSE 02:11 THE PROVINCE HAS ONE OF THE WORST-PERFORMING 02:13 ECONOMIES IN THE COUNTRY AND ONE OF THE LOWEST 02:14 PROPORTIONS OF PEOPLE EARNING VERY 02:18 HIGH INCOMES. ABRAHAM LINCOLN ONCE COMMENTED: 02:29 THE PRIMARY MEANING OF THE WORD "HAPPINESS" IN MOST 02:30 EUROPEAN LANGUAGES SEEMS TO INVOLVE THE NOTION 02:34 OF GOOD FORTUNE OR GOOD CHANCE. BUT FROM VERY 02:39 EARLY AGE IN GREEK PHILOSOPHY THIS CONCEPT 02:40 BECAME THE FOCUS OF MUCH SPECULATION AND DISPUTE. 02:51 WHAT IS HAPPINESS? 02:52 WHAT ARE THE CAUSES AND CONDITIONS OF HAPPINESS? 02:56 THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE OCCUPIED 02:57 THE VARIOUS SCHOOLS OF PHILOSOPHY BECAUSE 03:00 HAPPINESS IS A MOST PROFOUNDLY INTERESTING 03:04 SUBJECT FOR ALL OF US. FOR THE GREEKS HAPPINESS WAS 03:05 UNDERSTOOD TO BE A GIFT FROM THE GODS - ARISTOTLE 03:09 TAUGHT THAT HAPPINESS COMES IN A LIFE OF 03:13 SPECULATION AND IN UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM. 03:14 ONLY THE FEW HE CLAIMED, COULD ATTAIN IT, THE 03:19 MAJORITY HAD TO CONTENT THEMSELVES WITH INFERIOR 03:22 HAPPINESS. ST. THOMAS TAUGHT THAT PERFECT 03:23 HAPPINESS IS THE SUPREME SUBJECTIVE END OF MAN, 03:28 AND IS THEREFORE OPEN TO ALL MEN, BUT IT WAS NOT 03:34 ATTAINABLE IN THIS LIFE. 03:35 IN JUDAISM EACH OF THE FOUR MAIN RELIGIOUS GROUPS 03:39 HAD THEIR OWN DEFINITIONS OF HAPPINESS. THE 03:40 PHARISEES BELIEVED THAT HAPPINESS WAS FOUND IN 03:44 TRADITION AND LEGALISM. 03:45 THE SADDUCEES BELIEVED HAPPINESS WAS FOUND IN THE 03:48 PRESENT, IN MODERNISM AND LIBERALISM. THE ESSENES 03:53 SAID NO, HAPPINESS IS IN SEPARATION FROM THE WORLD 03:54 - THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT LITERAL, GEOGRAPHICAL 03:59 SEPARATION. THE ZEALOTS SAID HAPPINESS IS FOUND IN 04:03 THE POLITICAL OVERTHROW, HAPPINESS IS FOUND IN 04:04 REVELATION. THEY ALL HAD THEIR OWN LITTLE 04:11 THING GOING AND INTO THIS CONTEXT JESUS COMES AND HE 04:16 PREACHES HIS FIRST SERMON EVER RECORDED AND IN 04:17 ESSENCE HE TELLS THEM THEY ARE ALL WRONG. 04:28 THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST 04:29 KNOW QUOTED PORTIONS OF SCRIPTURE. IT TAKES 04:33 CHAPTER 5, 6 AND 7 OF MATTHEW'S GOSPEL. IT IS 04:38 ONE SERMON DELIVERED BY JESUS AND WE ARE GOING TO 04:39 TAKE SOME TIME OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TO STUDY 04:43 THESE REVOLUTIONARY TRUTHS - THESE TRUTHS THAT HIT 04:47 THE AUDIENCE LIKE A BOMB EXPLODING ON THEIR MINDS 04:48 AND THEY LISTEN TO HIM. 04:53 LET ME START THIS DISCUSSION WITH THE 04:54 FOLLOWING PHRASE: "JESUS IS IN THE BUSINESS OF 04:58 PROVIDING PEOPLE WITH HAPPINESS." SADLY NOT 05:03 EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS OR BELIEVES THAT. BUT JESUS 05:04 IS IN THE HAPPINESS BUSINESS. HAPPINESS IS HIS 05:09 CONCERN. EVIDENCE OF THIS IS THE FACT THAT HERE IN 05:13 THE FIRST SERMON EVER RECORDED AS HAVING BEEN 05:14 PREACHED BY JESUS IT BEGINS WITH THE CONSTANT 05:19 THEME OF HAPPINESS. YOU WILL NOTICE IT IN VERSE 1 05:24 AND THEN YOU WILL SEE "BLESSED" USED NINE TIMES. 05:25 NOW, THE WORD "BLESSED" SIMPLY MEANS HAPPY 05:31 OR HAPPINESS: MATTHEW 5: 1 - 12 06:53 NINE TIMES WE SEE THE WORD "BLESSED". NOW THIS IS 06:54 ONLY THE INTRODUCTION TO THE SERMON. HAVING STATED 06:59 THAT THE BASIC GOAL OF HIS TEACHING IS TO BRING TRUE 07:03 HAPPINESS - REAL JOY, GENUINE REWARD, HE THEN 07:04 MOVES ON TO TALK ABOUT HOW IT IS THAT BECOMES 07:09 POSSIBLE. WHAT KIND OF LIFESTYLE PRODUCES THIS 07:14 KIND OF HAPPINESS - THAT BECOMES THE RUNNING THEME 07:15 THROUGH CHAPTER 5, 6 AND 7. 07:23 IN THIS PROGRAM I WANT TO LAY SOME GROUND WORK AND 07:24 THEN WE WILL OVER THE NEXT NUMBER OF PROGRAMS REALLY 07:29 DIG INTO THE INCREDIBLE TRUTHS THAT ARE HERE. LET 07:32 ME START WITH A BIT OF A BACKDROP, A LITTLE BIT OF 07:33 BACKGROUND. AS YOU LOOK AT THE BEATITUDES - AT THIS 07:38 SERMON IT SEEMS THAT THE MESSAGE IS SOMEWHAT 07:42 'PARADOXICAL'. WHAT JESUS IS TEACHING DOES NOT 07:43 REALLY FIT WITH WHAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE 07:50 ANTICIPATED. YOU SEE HAPPINESS, AS MATTHEW 07:54 PRESENTS THE WORDS OF JESUS, IS NOT EXACTLY THE 07:55 WAY THE WORLD WOULD DO IT. 08:00 THERE IS A PARADOX HERE BECAUSE ALL THE WAY DOWN 08:01 HAPPINESS SEEMS TO BE CONNECTED WITH MISERY 08:05 - HOW CAN MISERY BE THE KEY TO HAPPINESS? TO MANY 08:13 PEOPLE THIS SEEMS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. 08:20 WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF BOOKS WRITTEN ON HAPPINESS AND 08:21 THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE THIS IN COMMON - HAPPINESS IS 08:27 THE GO-GETTER, HAPPINESS IS DOING YOUR OWN THING - 08:29 HAPPINESS IS ACQUIRING ALL THE THINGS THE WORLD HAS 08:30 TO OFFER. HAPPY ARE THE RICH AND HAPPY ARE THE 08:33 NOBLE AND HAPPY ARE THE FAMOUS AND HAPPY ARE THE 08:37 POPULAR. BUT THIS MESSAGE OF JESUS DOES NOT SEEM 08:38 TO FIT THAT PICTURE. THIS SERMON DEVASTATES WORLDLY 08:43 ATTITUDES - EVEN THE ATTITUDES OF THE FIRST 08:48 CENTURY AUDIENCE. SENECA THE ROMAN PHILOSOPHER SAID 08:49 THIS IN THE FIRST CENTURY: 09:03 WHAT HE IS SAYING IS THAT ANY FOOL KNOWS YOU CANNOT 09:04 FILL THE EMPTINESS IN YOUR SOUL WITH EXTERNAL THINGS. 09:07 YOU CANNOT MEET A RATIONAL NEED WITH AN IRRATIONAL 09:13 OBJECT. THAT IS WHAT THE WORLD TRIES TO DO. THINK 09:14 ABOUT SOLOMON. SOLOMON WAS THE MOST MAGNIFICENT 09:21 KING THAT EVER LIVED. IF ANYBODY SHOULD HAVE BEEN 09:25 HAPPY, ACCORDING TO THE WORLD'S STANDARD, HE 09:26 SHOULD. HE HAD NOBILITY, HIS PALACE WAS THE PARAGON 09:32 OF THE EARTH. HIS WEALTH WAS SO IMMEASURABLE AND 09:34 HIS TREASURE SO VAST THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT SAYS 09:36 THAT SILVER WAS A COMMON AS ROCKS. HE HAD THE 09:39 BUILDINGS AND THE SERVANTS AND THE VINEYARDS AND THE 09:45 WOMEN BY THE HUNDREDS, HIS INTELLIGENCE? HE WAS THE 09:46 MOST INTELLIGENT MAN THAT EVER LIVED. HE HAD IT ALL 09:50 - HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN INFINITELY HAPPY MAN, BUT 09:56 ALL HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT WAS THIS: "VANITY, VANITY 09:57 ALL IS VANITY" YOU CANNOT FILL A SPIRITUAL NEED WITH 10:05 A PHYSICAL SUBSTANCE - IT CANNOT BE DONE. BUT PEOPLE 10:10 TRY TO DO IT. YOU CANNOT DO THE OPPOSITE EITHER 10:11 WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY YOU DO NOT WANT A LECTURE ON 10:17 GRACE YOU WANT FOOD. WHEN YOU ARE OUT IN A DESERT 10:22 AND DYING OF THIRST YOU DO NOT WANT SOMEONE TO TALK 10:24 TO YOU ABOUT THE MERCY OF GOD, YOU WANT WATER. YOU 10:27 CANNOT FILL A PHYSICAL NEED WITH SPIRITUAL 10:32 SUBSTANCE AND IT IS JUST AS RIDICULOUS TO THINK YOU 10:34 CAN MEET A SPIRITUAL NEED WITH PHYSICAL SUBSTANCE. 10:39 THOMAS WATSON, THE PURITAN WROTE: 11:34 PROVERBS 23: 5 SAYS: 11:37 ECCLESIASTES 5: 13 11:38 DID YOU GET THAT? RICHES HOARDED TO THE HARM OF 11:40 ITS OWNERS! THERE IS NO SATISFACTION IN WHAT 11:41 THE WORLD OFFERS AND WHEN JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD 11:46 HE WAS NOT OFFERING WORLD STUFF. 11:54 NOW THERE ARE SOME WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS 11:55 THAT ARE OFFERING WORLD STUFF. THEY ARE OFFERING 11:59 FINANCIAL PROSPERITY, MONEY, SUCCESS BUT JESUS 12:03 NEVER OFFERED THAT. THAT IS NOWHERE IN THE SERMON 12:04 ON THE MOUNT. IT IS THE OPPOSITE THAT IS HERE. 12:11 WHAT JESUS IS SAYING IN THIS MARVELOUS AND 12:15 INCOMPARABLE SERMON IN THESE BEATITUDES IS SIMPLY 12:16 THIS, YOU WILL NEVER FIND HAPPINESS IN THIS WORLD, 12:22 NEVER. JOHN PUT IT THIS WAY, "DO NOT LOVE THE 12:28 WORLD NOR THE THINGS IN THE WORLD." THERE IS 12:29 NO SATISFACTION THERE, HAPPINESS IS NOT HERE, 12:33 BLESSEDNESS IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL. AND THE SERMON ON 12:40 THE MOUNT IS GOING TO TAKE US TO THAT LEVEL. 12:41 IT 'S GOING TO COUNTER EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON 12:43 TELEVISION, IT IS GOING TO COUNTER EVERYTHING YOU 12:47 READ IN MAGAZINES. TOTALLY OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE WORLD 12:48 TELLS YOU. LOOK AT VERSE 1 OF MATTHEW 5: 12:53 (MATTHEW 5: 1) 13:04 LET'S STOP THERE. 13:05 JESUS ALWAYS CARED FOR THE CROWDS. IT SAYS IN MATTHEW 13:07 9: 36, MATTHEW 14: 14, AND MATTHEW 15: 32 THAT WHEN 13:08 HE SAW THE CROWDS HE HAD COMPASSION ON THEM. JESUS 13:14 SAW THE CROWDS DESCRIBED IN MATTHEW 4: 23 - 25: 14:00 HERE IS THIS MASS OF HUMANITY COMING FROM 14:02 NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST FOLLOWING HIM 14:07 AND WHEN HE SEES THEM AS ALWAYS HIS HEART IS 14:14 BROKEN. WHEN HE SAW THEIR HUNGER HE GAVE THEM FOOD. 14:16 AND WHEN HE SEES THE SPIRITUAL HUNGER OF THEIR 14:17 HEARTS HE REACHES OUT AND GIVES THEM WHAT THEY NEED. 14:22 THERE WAS A WONDERFUL ATTRACTION TO JESUS. 14:23 CROWDS JUST SURGED AFTER HIM. ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE, 14:30 IN FACT, NOT THE NICEST BUNCH OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE 14:34 EVER MET. SICK, DEMON POSSESSED, PHARISEES, 14:35 SADDUCEES, ESSENES, ZEALOTS, PUBLICANS AND 14:38 HARLOTS, SCHOLARS AND ILLITERATES, REFINED AND 14:42 DEGRADED, RICH MEN AND BEGGARS ALL SEARCHING FOR 14:43 THE SAME THING, HAPPINESS. 14:50 YOU SEE HUMAN BEINGS WERE CREATED WITH A COMPELLING 14:52 DRIVE TO BE HAPPY. WE ALL HAVE THINGS WE THINK WOULD 14:56 BRING HAPPINESS. "IF ONLY THIS WOULD HAPPEN. IF ONLY 15:01 THAT WOULD CHANGE, IF ONLY I HAD THIS. IF ONLY!" 15:03 SOMETIMES THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENS TO A PERSON 15:08 IS FOR HIM OR HER TO GET THEIR "IF ONLY", ONLY TO 15:15 DISCOVER THAT EVEN THEN, HAPPINESS ELUDES THEM. 15:16 THOSE THINGS IN THE WORLD THAT PROMISE HAPPINESS 15:23 ONLY MEET THE OUTSIDE EDGES OF THE NEED. INSTEAD 15:27 OF HAVING THE NEED MET AND FULFILLED, THE NEED 15:28 BECOMES OVERPOWERING AND COMPELLING. INSTEAD OF 15:34 BEING FROM THAT NEED BY HAVING IT ETERNALLY 15:41 SATISFIED, WE INSTEAD BECOME ENSLAVED TO THAT 15:42 NEED BECAUSE IT IS FOREVER UNMET. 15:50 WHEN WE LOOK FOR HAPPINESS OUTSIDE OF GOD, EXTERNAL 15:51 CIRCUMSTANCES BECOME THE FOCUS. GOD WANTS TO BRING 15:55 SUCH HAPPINESS TO YOUR INNERMOST BEING THAT YOU 16:01 WILL BE FREE FROM THE FEAR AND THE EMPTINESS THAT 16:02 KEEPS YOU FOCUSED ON THE EXTERNALS. OUR DESIRE 16:06 FOR HAPPINESS IS MEANT TO AWAKEN OUR DESIRE FOR GOD 16:13 AND HIS KINGDOM. GOD WANTS YOU HAPPY! "HE DELIGHTS 16:14 IN THE WELL-BEING OF HIS SERVANT" (PSALM 35:27). 16:19 HIS ANOINTING IS AN ANOINTING WITH "THE OIL OF 16:23 JOY" (PSALM 45:7) HE ALONE KNOWS THE KEY TO 16:24 YOUR HAPPINESS. HE ALONE CREATED IN US THAT DRIVE 16:31 TO FIND HAPPINESS. HE CREATED US SO THAT OUR 16:37 DESIRE TO BE HAPPY SURPASSES ALL OTHER 16:38 NEEDS. PEOPLE WILL FORFEIT ANYTHING THEY HAVE IF 16:45 THEY ARE CONVINCED THAT HAPPINESS WILL FOLLOW. 16:50 GOD CREATED US THIS WAY BECAUSE HE INTENDS IT TO 16:51 BE HIS OPENING INTO YOUR LIFE. YOUR DESIRE TO BE 16:59 HAPPY IS THE CATALYST THAT OPENS YOUR LIFE TO HIM. 17:06 THIS VERY NEED DRIVES YOU TO HIM. REFLECT ON THESE 17:07 PASSAGES THAT SPEAK OF THE ETERNAL MESSAGE FROM 17:14 GOD'S HEART TO HIS PEOPLE: 17:59 BLESSED, BLESSED, BLESSED, BLESSED. WHAT A TREMENDOUS 18:00 LESSON. WHAT HE HAS TO SAY TO US HERE IS PROFOUND. 18:09 LIFE CHANGING. I BELIEVE WE WILL BE DIFFERENT WHEN 18:14 WE GET THROUGH THIS. 18:15 I DON'T BELIEVE YOU CAN STUDY THE SERMON ON THE 18:18 MOUNT AND BE THE SAME. I CAN'T. GOD'S ALREADY BEEN 18:19 DOING THINGS IN MY HEART. 18:23 LET'S COMMIT OURSELVES TO BE THE KIND OF PEOPLE 18:24 GOD WANTS US TO BE. 18:33 REMEMBERING THIS, THAT WE HAVE THE CAPACITY IF WE 18:34 KNOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO SEE THIS A REALITY IN 18:40 OUR LIVES TO HIS GLORY AND OUR BLESSEDNESS. 18:52 I'M ONLY HUMAN; 18:57 I'M JUST A WOMAN 19:01 HELP ME TO BE ALL I CAN BE AND ALL THAT I AM. 19:11 SHOW ME THE STAIRWAY, I HAVE TO CLIMB 19:21 SO FOR MY SAKE TEACH ME TO TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME. 19:31 ONE DAY AT A TIME SWEET JESUS 19:36 THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING FROM YOU 19:43 HELP ME TODAY TO DO EVERYTHING 19:44 THAT I HAVE TO DO. 19:53 YESTERDAY'S GONE SWEET JESUS 19:58 AND TOMORROW MAY NEVER BE MINE 20:05 HELP ME TODAY SHOW ME THE WAY 20:09 ONE DAY AT A TIME 20:15 DO YOU REMEMBER, WHEN YOU WALKED AMONG MEN 20:24 WELL JESUS YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE LOOKING BELOW 20:25 ITS WORSE NOW THEN THAN 20:34 CHEATING AND STEALING, VIOLENCE AND CRIME 20:43 SO FOR MY SAKE TEACH ME TO TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME 20:53 ONE DAY AT A TIME SWEET JESUS 20:59 THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING FROM YOU 21:05 HELP ME TODAY TO DO EVERYTHING 21:07 THAT I HAVE TO DO. 21:15 YESTERDAY'S GONE SWEET JESUS 21:20 AND TOMORROW MAY NEVER BE MINE 21:27 HELP ME TODAY SHOW ME THE WAY 21:31 ONE DAY AT A TIME 21:37 HELP ME TODAY SHOW ME THE WAY 21:42 ONE DAY AT A TIME. 21:52 >>BILL: LET'S PRAY. 21:53 FATHER, IT'S WITH GREAT JOY THAT WE EMBARK UPON 21:56 THIS ADVENTURE OF STUDYING THIS MARVELOUS TRUTH. 21:57 WE THANK YOU, OUR LORD FOR BRINGING US THIS FAR TO 22:03 THE PLACE WHERE OUR HEARTS ARE OPEN AND READY TO 22:07 RECEIVE IT. TEACH US, FATHER, THE POWER OF THIS 22:08 MESSAGE IN OUR LIVES AND IN OUR WORLD.. 22:13 WE'LL PRAISE YOU IN CHRIST'S NAME. AMEN. 22:22 (MUSIC) (MUSIC) 22:56 >>BEV: HI, EVERYONE! 22:57 TODAY, I'VE GOT MY APRON ON, SO LET'S GET COOKING! 23:00 ACTUALLY, NOT REALLY COOKING; WE'RE JUST USING 23:01 THE BLENDER TODAY TO MAKE SOME DELICIOUS AND VERY 23:05 NUTRITIOUS SMOOTHIES AND SHAKES. I PREFER SMOOTHIES 23:09 TO JUICING BECAUSE NOTHING IS LOST WHEN YOU BLEND THE 23:10 INGREDIENTS. BUT, WHEN YOU JUICE FRUITS OR 23:14 VEGETABLES, YOU'RE LOSING ALL THE VALUABLE FIBRE. 23:18 SURE, JUICES TASTE WONDERFUL, BUT BE CAREFUL 23:19 OF THE SUGAR OVERLOAD YOU MAY BE GIVING YOURSELF, 23:23 ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE DIABETIC. EVEN THOUGH THE 23:27 SUGAR IS TOTALLY NATURAL, STILL IT IS SUGAR 23:28 BLENDING, HOWEVER, KEEPS ALL THAT GREAT FIBRE. WE 23:33 KNOW THAT FIBRE IS USEFUL FOR FILLING US UP AND FOR 23:37 KEEPING BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS NICE AND EVEN. SO, 23:38 GET YOUR PEN AND PAPER TO WRITE THESE RECIPES DOWN, 23:43 AND LET'S BLEND! WE'LL START WITH MY FAVOURITE 23:47 BREAKFAST SHAKE. I LIKE TO INCLUDE: 1 BANANA 1 23:48 PEAR 1/4 OF A CANTALOUPE A HANDFUL OF NUTS & SEEDS 23:53 (I USE ALMONDS, WALNUTS, BRAZIL NUTS, AND PUMPKIN 23:59 SEEDS) 1/2 CUP OF BRAN CEREAL FLAKES 1 TABLESPOON 24:00 OF GROUND FLAX SEEDS 1 TEASPOON OF PSYLLIUM 24:06 HUSKS 1 CUP OF MILK (I USE SOY OR ALMOND MILK) WATER, 24:11 ENOUGH TO COVER ALL THE INGREDIENTS BLEND THIS 24:12 ALL TOGETHER UNTIL IT'S SMOOTH, AND ENJOY. YOU CAN 24:18 USE ANY FRUIT AND ANY NUTS YOU WANT. NOT ONLY IS THIS 24:23 FILLING, BUT WITH ALL THE GREAT FIBRE IN THIS 24:24 RECIPE, IT'S GOING TO HELP YOUR BOWELS MOVE 24:27 REGULARLY. JUST BE SURE, THOUGH, TO INCREASE THE 24:31 AMOUNT OF WATER YOU DRINK THROUGHOUT THE DAY 24:33 WHENEVER YOU INCREASE YOUR FIBRE INTAKE. NEXT, LET'S 24:36 MAKE A GREEN SMOOTHIE I'VE GIVEN YOU THIS RECIPE 24:42 PREVIOUSLY, BUT IT'S A REALLY GOOD ONE, SO I'M 24:43 SHARING IT WITH YOU AGAIN: 24:48 8-10 LARGE LEAVES OF ASSORTED GREENS (I LIKE TO 24:49 USE ROMAINE LETTUCE AS A BASE, SO I USE 4 LEAVES 24:56 OF ROMAINE, 2 OF SPINACH, 1 OF KALE, AND 1OF SWISS 24:59 CHARD) 1 BANANA, TO GIVE IT A SHAKE CONSISTENCY 1 25:00 PEAR, TO SWEETEN IT 1&1/2 - 2 CUPS OF WATER BLEND 25:07 EVERYTHING WELL IN THE BLENDER, AND ENJOY AT 25:14 LEAST TWICE EACH WEEK! YOU CAN DRINK ALL OF IT AT ONE 25:15 TIME AND MAKE IT A MEAL! 25:20 OR, KEEP IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR, BUT FOR 25:21 ONLY ONE DAY, TO GET THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT. I 25:24 USE A PEAR TO SWEETEN THIS SHAKE, BUT EXPERIMENT WITH 25:28 OTHER FRUITS YOU LIKE. 25:29 MOST PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT YOU CAN GET 25:33 A GOODLY AMOUNT OF PROTEIN FROM GREENS. YOU'LL ALSO 25:34 GET CALCIUM, IRON, VITAMIN C, VITAMIN A, AND FIBRE. 25:39 IF YOU WANT GREAT HEALTH, DRINK A GREEN SMOOTHIE 25:44 OFTEN. I'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME. 25:49 (MUSIC) 25:53 >>MATTHEW: IF YOU ARE ENJOYING THIS SERIES ON 25:54 THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT AND WOULD LIKE TO DEEPEN 25:56 YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE, THEN WHY NOT 25:59 ENROLL TODAY IN IT IS WRITTEN CANADA'S DISCOVER 26:00 BIBLE SCHOOL.
