>>BILL: GEORGE
BENJAMIN CLEMENCEAU WAS A FRENCH
00:00:01.96\00:00:03.00
STATESMAN, PHYSICIAN
AND JOURNALIST. HE SERVED
00:00:03.00\00:00:05.43
AS THE PRIME MINISTER OF
FRANCE FROM 1906 -1909 AND
00:00:05.43\00:00:10.70
THEN AGAIN FROM 1917
-1920. FOR NEARLY THE
00:00:10.70\00:00:11.63
FINAL YEAR OF WWI HE LED
FRANCE AND WAS ONE OF THE
00:00:11.63\00:00:18.43
MAJOR VOICES BEHIND THE
TREATY OF VERSAILLES. HE
00:00:18.43\00:00:23.86
WAS COMMONLY NICKNAMED
"LE TIGRE" (THE TIGER) AND "LE
00:00:23.86\00:00:24.96
PERE-LA VICTOIRE"
(FATHER VICTORY) FOR HIS
00:00:24.96\00:00:30.76
DETERMINATION AS A WARTIME
LEADER. ONE DAY ON THE WAY
00:00:30.76\00:00:35.43
TO A MEETING WITH US
PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON'S
00:00:35.43\00:00:36.43
ADVISER HE WAS SHOT
AT BY A YOUNG ANARCHIST
00:00:36.43\00:00:41.20
NAMED EMILE COTTIN.
AS CLEMENCEAUS'S CAR SPED
00:00:41.20\00:00:46.06
AWAY COTTIN FIRED AT
LEAST SIX MORE SHOTS, ONE
00:00:46.06\00:00:47.03
OF WHICH STRUCK CLEMENCEAU
NEAR HIS HEART. COTTIN
00:00:47.03\00:00:52.70
WAS CAPTURED AND THE
DEATH PENALTY DEMANDED, BUT
00:00:52.70\00:00:58.46
CLEMENCEAU ASKED FOR
LENIENCY, RECOMMENDING
00:00:58.46\00:00:59.50
EIGHT YEARS IN PRISON
"WITH INTENSIVE TRAINING
00:00:59.50\00:01:01.63
IN A SHOOTING GALLERY."
00:01:01.63\00:01:05.20
>>ANNOUNCER: IT HAS
STOOD THE TEST OF TIME
00:01:16.16\00:01:18.90
GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE
00:01:19.43\00:01:21.80
STILL RELEVANT IN
TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD.
00:01:22.16\00:01:26.26
IT IS WRITTEN . . .
00:01:26.56\00:01:28.93
SHARING MESSAGES OF
HOPE AROUND THE WORLD.
00:01:29.20\00:01:32.70
(MUSIC)
00:01:33.00\00:01:45.20
JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 5: 38 - 44
00:01:45.83\00:01:52.23
MARK TWAIN ONCE SAID
THIS ABOUT THE BIBLE -
00:01:52.80\00:01:55.90
MARK TWAIN ONCE SAID
THIS ABOUT THE BIBLE -
00:02:32.76\00:02:36.26
ACCORDING TO THE
FREEDICTIONARY.COM
00:02:46.60\00:02:47.50
RETALIATION IS DEFINED
AS "TO RETURN LIKE FOR LIKE,
00:02:47.50\00:02:49.63
ESPECIALLY EVIL FOR EVIL."
00:02:49.63\00:02:56.26
MUCH OF THE WORLD LIVES
BY THE LAW OF RETALIATION
00:02:57.16\00:02:58.20
WHETHER IT IS US SECRETARY
OF STATE HILARY CLINTON
00:02:58.20\00:03:01.70
STATING THAT IRAN
SHOULD EXPECT FULL RETALIATION
00:03:01.70\00:03:05.20
SHOULD IT EVER DECIDE
TO BOMB ISRAEL. OR BRAZIL
00:03:05.20\00:03:06.33
PROMISING TO RETALIATE
BY IMPOSING IMPORT DUTIES ON
00:03:06.33\00:03:11.80
US PRODUCTS COMING INTO
THE COUNTRY SHOULD THE US
00:03:11.80\00:03:16.96
NOT BE WILLING TO RESOLVE
THE LONG-STANDING DISPUTE
00:03:16.96\00:03:18.13
OVER US COTTON
SUBSIDIES OR ALLEGED TIMES
00:03:18.13\00:03:22.83
SQUARE BOMBER FAISAL
SHAHZAD ADMITTING TO US
00:03:22.83\00:03:28.63
AUTHORITIES THAT THE
ATTEMPTED TIMES SQUARE
00:03:28.63\00:03:29.53
BOMBING WAS IN
RETALIATION FOR US DRONE ATTACKS
00:03:29.53\00:03:31.80
IN PAKISTAN. THIS IS SO
COMMON THAT THE WORDS OF
00:03:31.80\00:03:37.46
JESUS WE READ EARLIER
HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED BY MANY
00:03:37.46\00:03:38.50
AS BEING: "THE HARDEST
SAYINGS OF JESUS" OR "THE
00:03:38.50\00:03:42.66
MOST DIFFICULT VERSES
IN THE BIBLE" OR SIMPLY,
00:03:42.66\00:03:47.26
"HYPERBOLE AND IMPOSSIBLE."
00:03:47.26\00:03:50.16
ONE DAY A TRUCK DRIVER
STOPPED AT A RESTAURANT
00:03:51.90\00:03:52.90
FOR DINNER AND ORDERED A
STEAK. BEFORE HE COULD EAT
00:03:52.90\00:03:57.13
IT, IN WALKED A MOTORCYCLE
GANG, WITH DIRTY LEATHER
00:03:57.13\00:04:01.20
JACKETS AND LONG, UNKEMPT
HAIR. THEY TOOK THE MAN'S
00:04:01.20\00:04:02.36
STEAK, CUT IT INTO SIX
PIECES, AND ATE IT. THE
00:04:02.36\00:04:06.70
DRIVER SAID NOTHING. HE
SIMPLY PAID THE BILL AND
00:04:06.70\00:04:11.73
WALKED OUT. ONE OF THE
GANG MEMBERS SAID, "THAT
00:04:11.73\00:04:12.70
MAN COULDN'T TALK.
HE DIDN'T SAY A WORD."
00:04:12.70\00:04:18.63
ANOTHER ONE SAID, "HE
COULDN'T FIGHT, EITHER; HE
00:04:18.63\00:04:22.50
DIDN'T LIFT A HAND."
00:04:22.50\00:04:22.96
A WAITER ADDED, "I WOULD
SAY THAT HE COULDN'T DRIVE
00:04:22.96\00:04:27.36
EITHER. ON HIS WAY OUT
OF THE PARKING LOT, HE RAN
00:04:27.36\00:04:28.40
OVER SIX MOTORCYCLES."
00:04:28.40\00:04:34.26
SOMETHING IN US LOVES
THAT STORY, BECAUSE WE LIKE
00:04:34.26\00:04:35.40
RETALIATION. WHEN
JESUS BANNED RETALIATION,
00:04:35.40\00:04:39.80
HE WENT AGAINST OUR NATURE
SUPPOSE ALL OF US ANSWERED
00:04:39.80\00:04:46.63
THIS QUESTION HONESTLY
- AM I MORE EAGER THAT MY
00:04:46.63\00:04:47.63
ENEMY SUFFER FOR WHAT I
BELIEVE HE/SHE DID, OR AM
00:04:47.63\00:04:53.13
I MORE EAGER THAT
HE/SHE EXPERIENCE SALVATION
00:04:53.13\00:04:58.20
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST?
00:04:58.20\00:04:58.70
WHAT WOULD OUR
HONEST RESPONS BE?
00:04:58.70\00:05:04.66
THE HEART OF JESUS'
MESSAGE IN THIS TEXT IS
00:05:06.26\00:05:07.23
THIS: DON'T RETALIATE.
00:05:07.23\00:05:11.36
INSTEAD, WIN OVER THE
AGGRESSOR WITH TOUGH, WISE
00:05:11.36\00:05:12.40
LOVE. THIS STRATEGY
MAKES NO SENSE UNLESS YOU
00:05:12.40\00:05:16.86
REMEMBER OUR TWO PRIMARY
PURPOSES: TO WIN PEOPLE TO
00:05:16.86\00:05:23.70
CHRIST, THEREBY CHANGING
THEIR LIVES NOW AND SAVING
00:05:23.70\00:05:24.73
THEIR ETERNAL SOULS;
AND, SECONDLY, TO TRANSFORM
00:05:24.73\00:05:29.83
HUMAN SOCIETY INTO THE
KINGDOM OF GOD. "YOU HAVE
00:05:29.83\00:05:35.36
HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID,
00:05:35.36\00:05:37.46
JESUS WAS QUOTING
WHAT WAS KNOWN AS THE "LEX
00:05:45.23\00:05:46.20
TALIONIS," THE OLDEST
LAW IN THE WORLD--AN EYE FOR
00:05:46.20\00:05:49.86
AN EYE AND A TOOTH FOR
A TOOTH. WHEN THIS LAW WAS
00:05:49.86\00:05:54.36
FIRST DEVELOPED, IT
MADE LIFE BETTER AND MORE
00:05:54.36\00:05:55.30
CIVILIZED. IT
RESTRICTED REVENGE AND
00:05:55.30\00:05:59.96
MADE IT COMPARABLE TO THE
OFFENSE. IT HELPED PREVENT
00:05:59.96\00:06:04.06
UNLIMITED FEUDS LIKE
THAT OF THE HATFIELDS AND
00:06:04.06\00:06:05.03
MCCOYS. JESUS SAID
THAT RETALIATION, HOWEVER
00:06:05.03\00:06:10.40
CONTROLLED OR
RESTRICTED, HAS NO PLACE IN THE
00:06:10.40\00:06:15.16
CHRISTIAN LIFE.
JESUS TAUGHT US TO REPLACE
00:06:15.16\00:06:16.10
RETALIATION WITH
TOUGH, WISE LOVE. IN VERSES 39
00:06:16.10\00:06:22.86
THROUGH 41, JESUS GIVES
US THREE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF
00:06:22.86\00:06:31.00
THIS RADICAL PRINCIPLE
IN ACTION. FIRST, VERSE 39
00:06:31.00\00:06:35.56
IF YOU ARE RIGHT-HANDED,
AND YOU SLAP SOMEONE ON
00:06:46.80\00:06:47.80
THE RIGHT CHEEK, WHAT
HAVE YOU DONE? YOU HAVE GIVEN
00:06:47.80\00:06:50.50
THEM A BACKHANDED SLAP.
00:06:50.50\00:06:51.00
THE JEWS CONSIDERED A
BACKHANDED SLAP TWICE AS
00:06:51.00\00:06:55.56
INSULTING AS A SLAP WITH
THE PALM OF THE HAND. NOW
00:06:55.56\00:07:01.56
SUPPOSE THIS HAPPENS TO
YOU. ONE DAY YOU ARE GOING
00:07:01.56\00:07:02.76
ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS
AND SOMEONE YOU KNOW WALKS
00:07:02.76\00:07:06.76
UP TO YOU AND UNJUSTLY
INSULTS YOU BY GIVING YOU
00:07:06.76\00:07:13.13
A BACKHANDED SLAP
ACROSS THE FACE. YOUR FIRST
00:07:13.13\00:07:14.06
INSTINCT MAY BE TO
STRIKE BACK. IN THE TALIONIC
00:07:14.06\00:07:18.93
JARGON, "A SLAP FOR A
SLAP." THE JEWISH RABBIS
00:07:18.93\00:07:26.20
HAD A LAW BASED ON
ORAL TRADITION FOUND IN WHAT
00:07:26.20\00:07:27.23
IS CALLED THE MISHNAH
THAT SAID YOU COULD SEEK
00:07:27.23\00:07:32.43
RESTITUTION IN COURT.
THE OFFENDING PARTY WOULD BE
00:07:32.43\00:07:37.36
REQUIRED TO PAY 200
ZUZ (A MONETARY UNIT) FOR A
00:07:37.36\00:07:38.53
FRONTHANDED SLAP AND
400 FOR A BACKHANDED ONE. SO
00:07:38.53\00:07:46.76
IN THAT CULTURE, YOU
COULD TAKE HIM TO COURT AND SUE
00:07:46.76\00:07:53.80
HIM FOR INSULT. BUT
REMEMBER THAT JESUS IS
00:07:53.80\00:07:54.73
CONTRASTING HIS SYSTEM OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH THAT OF
00:07:54.73\00:07:59.96
THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES.
00:07:59.96\00:08:00.56
NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT
STRIKE BACK, TAKE THE PERSON TO
00:08:00.56\00:08:05.96
COURT OR JUST WALK
AWAY, OR EVEN JUST STAND THERE
00:08:05.96\00:08:12.53
AND SAY WITH A RAISED
VOICE, "WHY DID YOU DO
00:08:12.53\00:08:13.50
THAT?" - JESUS
TEACHES NONE OF THESE. BUT HE
00:08:13.50\00:08:17.00
DOES SAY TO ACTIVELY AND
VOLUNTARILY TURN THE OTHER
00:08:17.00\00:08:21.93
CHEEK, EXPOSING IT TO A
FURTHER STRIKE. AMAZING!
00:08:21.93\00:08:22.93
DID JESUS REALIZE WHAT
HE WAS ASKING? JESUS HAD A
00:08:22.93\00:08:30.63
LOT OF NERVE TO
ADVISE, "NO RETALIATION."
00:08:30.63\00:08:37.46
BUT REMEMBER OUR TWO
PURPOSES: TO WIN EVERY
00:08:39.66\00:08:40.70
PERSON TO CHRIST, AND
TO TRANSFORM THE WORLD INTO
00:08:40.70\00:08:46.80
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
HAS RETALIATION EVER SERVED
00:08:46.80\00:08:50.86
THOSE PURPOSES? DO TWO
WRONGS EVER MAKE A RIGHT?
00:08:50.86\00:08:51.86
JESUS IS NOT FORBIDDING
SELF-DEFENSE. HE IS NOT
00:08:51.86\00:08:58.00
TELLING PEOPLE TO STAY
IN SITUATIONS WHERE THEY
00:08:58.00\00:09:03.03
SUFFER PHYSICAL OR
EMOTIONAL ABUSE. JESUS DID
00:09:03.03\00:09:04.10
NOT MEAN THAT WE SHOULD
BECOME DOORMATS. WE HAVE A
00:09:04.10\00:09:09.20
DUTY TO PROTECT OURSELVES
AND THOSE FOR WHOM WE ARE
00:09:09.20\00:09:14.60
RESPONSIBLE. ALL OF
US IN GRADE SCHOOL HAD TO
00:09:14.60\00:09:15.56
DEAL WITH THE SCHOOL-YARD
BULLY. TO RUN FROM THE
00:09:15.56\00:09:20.40
BULLY ONLY MADE HIM WORSE.
00:09:20.40\00:09:20.93
THE MOST LOVING THING
YOU COULD DO FOR THE BULLY
00:09:20.93\00:09:25.70
WAS TO STAND UP TO HIM,
TO SEND HIM A MESSAGE THAT
00:09:25.70\00:09:29.03
BULLYING DOES NOT WORK.
00:09:29.03\00:09:29.56
BUT AFTER YOU STAND UP
TO THE BULLY, IT WOULD BE
00:09:29.56\00:09:35.46
WRONG TO START
BULLYING THE BULLY, TO BECOME
00:09:35.46\00:09:36.43
THE NEW BULLY ON
THE PLAYGROUND. IN VERSE
00:09:36.43\00:09:40.06
40, JESUS SAYS:
00:09:40.06\00:09:44.03
NOW WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT
TO SUE SOMEONE FOR A PIECE
00:09:50.93\00:09:52.10
OF CLOTHING? IT IS
HARD TO UNDERSTAND THIS ONE
00:09:52.10\00:09:56.23
WITHOUT SOME OLD TESTAMENT
BACKGROUND, SO LET'S LOOK
00:09:56.23\00:10:00.56
AT TWO PASSAGES.
00:10:00.56\00:10:03.96
EXODUS 22: 25 - 27
00:10:04.40\00:10:07.10
UNDER THE OLD
TESTAMENT BORROWING LAWS, A POOR
00:11:11.46\00:11:12.46
PERSON WHO BORROWED MONEY
COULD PROVIDE A GARMENT AS
00:11:12.46\00:11:17.20
A PLEDGE OR COLLATERAL
TO HELP ENSURE THAT HE WOULD
00:11:17.20\00:11:22.76
PAY THE LOAN BACK. NORMAL
PRACTICE AT THE TIME WOULD
00:11:22.76\00:11:23.83
BE THAT PEOPLE WOULD
WEAR A LIGHTER INNER TUNIC
00:11:23.83\00:11:29.73
AND ALSO A HEAVIER
OUTER GARMENT OR CLOAK TO BE
00:11:29.73\00:11:35.06
USED IN COLDER CONDITIONS.
00:11:35.06\00:11:35.63
SO WHY WOULD A PERSON
GIVE SUCH A PIECE OF CLOTHING
00:11:35.63\00:11:41.16
FOR COLLATERAL? WELL,
IF HE WAS REALLY POOR, THAT
00:11:41.16\00:11:42.23
MAY BE ALL THAT HE HAD.
00:11:42.23\00:11:46.10
BUT IT GETS AWFULLY
COLD AT NIGHT SOMETIMES EVEN
00:11:46.10\00:11:47.10
IN THE DESERT DEPENDING
ON THE TIME OF YEAR, SO
00:11:47.10\00:11:51.86
THE OLD TESTAMENT HAD
A PROVISION THAT REQUIRED
00:11:51.86\00:11:55.03
THAT THE GARMENT BE
RETURNED TO THE POOR
00:11:55.03\00:11:55.93
PERSON EVERY NIGHT
FOR WARMTH. THE LENDER WAS
00:11:55.93\00:12:00.30
NOT ALLOWED TO GO INTO
THE BORROWER'S HOUSE AND HAD
00:12:00.30\00:12:03.66
TO RETURN THE GARMENT
EVERY NIGHT. THE BORROWER
00:12:03.66\00:12:04.66
WAS TO TURN THE
GARMENT BACK TO THE LENDER EACH
00:12:04.66\00:12:10.06
MORNING UNTIL THE LOAN
WAS PAID BACK. BUT WHAT IF ONE
00:12:10.06\00:12:15.16
OF THE PARTIES VIOLATED
ONE OF THESE PROVISIONS?
00:12:15.16\00:12:16.16
WHAT IF THE LENDER
CAME, STOOD OUTSIDE THE HOUSE,
00:12:16.16\00:12:19.80
AND ASKED FOR THE GARMENT
AND THE BORROWER REFUSED?
00:12:19.80\00:12:24.86
WHAT IF THE POOR PERSON
FELT RIGHTLY THAT THE LOAN
00:12:24.86\00:12:25.93
WAS ALREADY PAID OFF
AND THE EXCHANGE OF GARMENT
00:12:25.93\00:12:31.53
WAS NO LONGER REQUIRED?
00:12:31.53\00:12:32.03
THIS IS WHERE A
LAWSUIT AND COURT INJUNCTION
00:12:32.03\00:12:35.36
MIGHT COME INTO PLAY, AND
THE PHARISEES HAD DETAILED
00:12:35.36\00:12:38.93
RULES FOR USING THE
COURT SYSTEM AS THE TOOL FOR
00:12:38.93\00:12:39.93
DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM.
00:12:39.93\00:12:47.03
JESUS, HOWEVER, HAS A
BOLD AND RADICAL APPROACH. H
00:12:48.53\00:12:49.76
DOESN'T SAY SUE HIM
BACK; HE DOESN'T SAY USE THE
00:12:49.76\00:12:53.86
COURTS TO PROVE YOU ARE
CORRECT; HE DOESN'T EVEN
00:12:53.86\00:12:56.96
SAY JUST GO AHEAD
RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY AND GIVE HIM
00:12:56.96\00:12:58.00
THE GARMENT. AFTER
ALL, DEUTERONOMY SAID IF THE
00:12:58.00\00:13:01.63
ONE GARMENT WAS RETURNED
ACCORDING TO THE LAW, THAT
00:13:01.63\00:13:06.13
WAS ENOUGH. BUT JESUS
SAYS GIVE HIM BOTH GARMENTS!
00:13:06.13\00:13:07.20
AMAZING AGAIN. DON'T
STAND ON YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS; IF
00:13:07.20\00:13:12.76
IT SERVES THE MINISTRY,
BE WILLING TO SURRENDER ONE'S
00:13:12.76\00:13:16.93
LEGAL RIGHTS. SUCH AN
ATTITUDE, IF IT BECAME
00:13:16.93\00:13:17.86
OPERATIVE IN OUR SOCIETY,
MIGHT PUT A LOT OF LAWYERS
00:13:17.86\00:13:24.80
OUT OF WORK. FORTUNATELY
FOR THEM, THE TREND OF THE
00:13:24.80\00:13:29.93
TIMES IS IN THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION. AS LONG AS ALL
00:13:29.93\00:13:30.93
OF US STAND ON OUR
RIGHTS, THERE WILL BE LITTLE
00:13:30.93\00:13:35.70
ROOM FOR PROGRESS. THEN
IN VERSE 41, JESUS SAYS:
00:13:35.70\00:13:40.13
THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
TO THIS SITUATION IS THE
00:13:46.56\00:13:47.56
ROMAN LAW THAT
REQUIRED AN INDIVIDUAL FROM A
00:13:47.56\00:13:52.03
CONQUERED COUNTRY TO
CARRY A LOAD OR PACK UP TO ONE
00:13:52.03\00:13:58.53
MILE ON FOOT IF ASKED BY
A ROMAN. IT WAS COMPULSORY
00:13:58.53\00:13:59.56
SERVICE. IT WAS NOT
POPULAR; IT WAS HATED; IT
00:13:59.56\00:14:04.56
WAS DONE GRUDGINGLY. THE
SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES
00:14:04.56\00:14:09.40
PARTICULARLY
DESPISED THESE LAWS BEING USED
00:14:09.40\00:14:10.36
BY THE RULING POWERS.
IN MATTHEW 27:32 WE READ:
00:14:10.36\00:14:20.86
IT WAS THIS LAW THAT
ALLOWED THE ROMANS TO
00:14:31.26\00:14:32.20
FORCE SIMON TO CARRY
THE CROSS OF JESUS. NOW
00:14:32.20\00:14:35.33
SUPPOSE A ROMAN SOLDIER
COMES ALONG AND SAYS CARRY
00:14:35.33\00:14:40.40
MY PACK FOR A MILE. WHAT
SHOULD YOU DO? 1. ACTIVELY
00:14:40.40\00:14:41.43
RETALIATE, PHYSICAL
RETALIATION IN A LIKELY
00:14:41.43\00:14:47.03
FUTILE ATTEMPT AT COMBAT?
00:14:47.03\00:14:47.53
2. RESIST, VERBALLY DENY
THE REQUEST, AND RUN LIKE
00:14:47.53\00:14:53.86
THE DICKENS? 3. COMPLY
WITH THE REQUEST, MEET THE
00:14:53.86\00:14:57.63
LEGAL REQUIREMENT, AND GO
WITH HIM THE MILE, NO MORE
00:14:57.63\00:14:58.70
AND NO LESS? MAYBE YOU
MUMBLE AND COMPLAIN THE
00:14:58.70\00:15:02.80
WHOLE WAY. 4. YET JESUS
TEACHES NONE OF THESE; HE
00:15:02.80\00:15:07.60
SAYS "GO WITH HIM TWO."
00:15:07.60\00:15:08.13
AMAZING A THIRD TIME!
THE PRINCIPLE IS THIS: WHEN
00:15:08.13\00:15:14.20
YOU RESPOND TO AN
ONEROUS DUTY WITH CHEERFULNESS
00:15:14.20\00:15:15.20
RATHER THAN
RESENTMENT, YOU MAY WIN OVER THE
00:15:15.20\00:15:20.46
ONE WHO GAVE YOU THE DUTY.
00:15:20.46\00:15:21.00
BEING A CHRISTIAN DISCIPLE
MEANS LIVING IN A SECULAR
00:15:21.00\00:15:26.83
WORLD BUT WITH A RADICALLY
DIFFERENT SPIRIT. IT MEANS
00:15:26.83\00:15:32.53
TO RETURN GOOD FOR
EVIL, TO RESPOND TO HATE WITH
00:15:32.53\00:15:33.53
LOVE. THE SECULAR
WORLD SAYS, "YOU'RE CRAZY
00:15:33.53\00:15:38.76
TO LIVE THAT WAY." BUT A
SOFT ANSWER DOES TURN AWAY
00:15:38.76\00:15:44.90
WRATH. FORGIVENESS IS
BETTER THAN VENGEANCE.
00:15:44.90\00:15:45.83
LOVE IS THE MOST
POWERFUL FORCE ON EARTH. THE
00:15:45.83\00:15:49.56
MESSAGE OF JESUS IS
THIS: DON'T RETALIATE. INSTEAD,
00:15:49.56\00:15:55.70
WIN OVER THE
AGGRESSOR WITH TOUGH, WISE LOVE.
00:15:55.70\00:15:56.66
REMEMBER OUR TWO PRIMARY
PURPOSES ON THIS EARTH: TO
00:15:56.66\00:16:02.23
WIN PEOPLE TO CHRIST AND
TO TRANSFORM HUMAN SOCIETY
00:16:02.23\00:16:09.23
INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
00:16:09.23\00:16:13.53

VIETNAMESE-CANADIAN

OF PHUC RUNNING NAKED
AMIDST THE CHAOS BECAME
00:16:36.33\00:16:37.33

IMAGES OF THE VIETNAM WAR.

ON A VISIT TO THE VIETNAM
WAR MEMORIAL IN WASHINGTON
00:16:41.63\00:16:47.10
D.C. MS. PHUC SAID:
00:16:47.10\00:16:49.63
NO RETALIATION! JUST
TOUGH, WISE LOVE. THAT'S
00:17:15.96\00:17:16.90
THE SPIRIT OF JESUS.
IT'S THE GREATEST POWER ON
00:17:16.90\00:17:22.50
EARTH. IN THE FACE OF
IT, THE DEVIL TREMBLES.
00:17:22.50\00:17:28.96
IS THE FACE THAT
I SEE IN THE MIRROR
00:17:32.70\00:17:38.63
THE ONE I WANT OTHERS TO SEE
00:17:38.96\00:17:45.00
DO I SHOW IN THE WAY
THAT I WALK IN MY LIFE
00:17:45.33\00:17:52.46
THE LOVE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN TO ME
00:17:52.90\00:17:59.70
MY HEART'S
DESIRE IS TO BE LIKE YOU
00:18:00.06\00:18:06.86
IN ALL THAT I DO, ALL I AM
00:18:07.16\00:18:14.73
DO THEY SEE JESUS IN ME
00:18:15.20\00:18:21.46
DO THEY RECOGNIZE YOUR FACE
00:18:21.90\00:18:27.66
DO I COMMUNICATE
YOUR LOVE, AND YOUR GRACE
00:18:27.96\00:18:39.30
DO I REFLECT WHO YOU ARE
00:18:39.53\00:18:45.90
IN THE WAY I CHOOSE TO BE
00:18:46.23\00:18:51.83
DO THEY SEE JESUS, JESUS IN ME
00:18:52.16\00:19:05.23
IT'S AMAZING
THAT YOU'D EVER USE ME
00:19:05.76\00:19:16.86
BUT USE ME THE WAY YOU WILL
00:19:17.83\00:19:22.40
HELP ME TO HOLD OUT A HEART OF
00:19:22.73\00:19:23.46
COMPASSIONATE GRACE
00:19:23.46\00:19:29.36
A HEART THAT YOU'RE SPIRIT FILLS
00:19:29.76\00:19:34.56
MAY I SHOW FORGIVENESS AND MERCY
00:19:35.16\00:19:41.23
THE SAME WAY
YOU'VE SHOWN IT TO ME
00:19:41.73\00:19:49.63
DO THEY SEE JESUS IN ME
00:19:50.13\00:19:56.30
DO THEY RECOGNIZE YOUR FACE
00:19:56.60\00:20:01.93
DO I COMMUNICATE
YOUR LOVE, AND YOUR GRACE
00:20:02.36\00:20:13.30
DO I REFLECT WHO YOU ARE
00:20:14.10\00:20:19.96
IN THE WAY I CHOOSE TO BE
00:20:20.56\00:20:25.80
DO THEY SEE JESUS, JESUS IN ME
00:20:26.20\00:20:38.66
WELL I WANT TO
SHOW ALL THE WORLD
00:20:39.13\00:20:43.00
THAT YOU ARE THE
REASON I LIVE AND BREATHE
00:20:43.36\00:20:50.26
SO YOU'LL BE THE
ONE THAT THEY SEE ME
00:20:50.60\00:20:57.26
DO THEY SEE JESUS IN ME
00:21:02.06\00:21:07.46
DO THEY RECOGNIZE YOUR FACE
00:21:08.00\00:21:13.50
DO I COMMUNICATE
YOUR LOVE, AND YOUR GRACE
00:21:14.36\00:21:25.06
DO I REFLECT WHO YOU ARE
00:21:25.46\00:21:31.20
IN THE WAY I CHOOSE TO BE
00:21:31.63\00:21:37.80
DO THEY SEE JESUS, JESUS IN ME
00:21:38.03\00:21:57.46
>>BILL: LET US PRAY
00:22:07.46\00:22:08.66
FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE
PRAY THAT YOUR HOLY SPIRIT MAY
00:22:09.00\00:22:10.03
TRANSFORM US. WORK
UPON OUR HEARTS THAT WE MAY
00:22:10.03\00:22:14.30
RESPOND TO EVIL WITH LOVE
THAT WE MAY RESPOND TO THE
00:22:14.30\00:22:20.23
UGLINESS OF THIS
WORLD WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS
00:22:20.23\00:22:21.20
CHRIST. WORK IN THE
LIVES OF EACH AND EVERYONE
00:22:21.20\00:22:27.33
OF US FATHER I PRAY
IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
00:22:27.33\00:22:32.80
>>BEV: HI,
EVERYONE! TODAY, LET'S
00:23:12.20\00:23:12.96
TALK ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS.
I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE PEOPLE
00:23:12.96\00:23:16.66
IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU
CONSIDER GOOD FRIENDS.
00:23:16.66\00:23:19.10
WHY? BECAUSE THE
QUALITY OF OUR FRIENDSHIPS CAN
00:23:19.10\00:23:20.06
IMPACT OUR HEALTH IN
A POSITIVE AND HEALTHY
00:23:20.06\00:23:24.00
WAY OR IN A NEGATIVE AND
DESTRUCTIVE WAY. SO, YES,
00:23:24.00\00:23:29.36
OUR SOCIAL LIFE CAN HELP
TO KEEP US HEALTHY OR, IN
00:23:29.36\00:23:30.36
A VERY REAL WAY, IT
CAN LITERALLY MAKE US SICK.
00:23:30.36\00:23:33.66
WHAT KIND OF FRIENDS
DO YOU SURROUND YOURSELF
00:23:33.66\00:23:39.10
WITH? MANY STUDIES
HAVE SHOWN THE LINK BETWEEN
00:23:39.10\00:23:40.23
FRIENDSHIP AND QUALITY
OF LIFE. IN PARTICULAR,
00:23:40.23\00:23:44.43
FRIENDS SEEM TO HELP
KEEP OUR HEARTS HEALTHY. A
00:23:44.43\00:23:49.10
STUDY REPORTED IN THE
JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL
00:23:49.10\00:23:50.10
MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION IN 2009 INDICATES
00:23:50.10\00:23:53.63
THAT FRIENDSHIPS HELP
TO RELIEVE STRESS WHICH, AS
00:23:53.63\00:23:58.00
YOU MAY KNOW, IS A
CONTRIBUTOR TO HEART
00:23:58.00\00:23:58.86
DISEASE. ANOTHER
STUDY IN SWEDEN FOUND THAT
00:23:58.86\00:24:04.20
HAVING FEW OR NO
FRIENDS INCREASED ONE'S RISK OF
00:24:04.20\00:24:08.10
HEART ATTACK BY 50%. A
STUDY IN NEW YORK FOUND
00:24:08.10\00:24:09.10
THAT PEOPLE WITH FEW
SOCIAL TIES WERE MORE
00:24:09.10\00:24:13.80
PRONE TO ANXIETY,
DEPRESSION, AND HEART
00:24:13.80\00:24:17.66
DISEASE. ON THE FLIP
SIDE, A STUDY PUBLISHED
00:24:17.66\00:24:18.63
IN HORMONES AND
BEHAVIOUR FOUND THAT FRIENDS
00:24:18.63\00:24:23.33
WHO CONSTANTLY TALK ABOUT
THEIR TROUBLES PUSH UP OUR
00:24:23.33\00:24:27.40
STRESS LEVELS. AND, A
RECENT STUDY FOUND THAT
00:24:27.40\00:24:28.40
OUR RISK OF
BECOMING OVERWEIGHT INCREASES
00:24:28.40\00:24:32.46
BY 57% IF WE HAVE A
CLOSE FRIEND WHO IS OVERWEIGHT.
00:24:32.46\00:24:39.66
IT'S INTERESTING HOW OUR
FRIENDSHIPS INFLUENCE NOT
00:24:39.66\00:24:40.66
JUST OUR MOOD, BUT
ALSO OUR CHOICES IN LIFE.
00:24:40.66\00:24:45.03
IF YOU WANT TO BE A
GOOD FRIEND AND A GOOD
00:24:45.03\00:24:48.90
INFLUENCE ON OTHERS,
BE SURE YOU ARE LIVING AS
00:24:48.90\00:24:49.90
HEALTHFUL A LIFE AS
YOU CAN. FRIENDS, FOOD, AND
00:24:49.90\00:24:54.33
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SEEM
TO GO HAND IN HAND. SO, IN
00:24:54.33\00:24:59.43
YOUR PRIVATE AND YOUR
PUBLIC LIFE, BE SURE TO
00:24:59.43\00:25:00.50
CHOOSE THOSE FOODS
THAT ARE LIFE-ENHANCING AND
00:25:00.50\00:25:05.06
LIFE-SUSTAINING. INVITE
FRIENDS OVER TO SHARE IN A
00:25:05.06\00:25:09.00
FUN, PLANT-BASED MEAL.
OR, INVITE FRIENDS TO GO ON
00:25:09.00\00:25:10.16
A WALK WITH YOU, OR BIKE
RIDING. BE CONSISTENT, AND
00:25:10.16\00:25:14.10
YOUR HEALTHY CHOICES
WILL LIKELY END UP "RUBBING
00:25:14.10\00:25:18.96
OFF" ON YOUR FRIENDS.
NOT ONLY WILL YOUR BODY THANK
00:25:18.96\00:25:20.00
YOU FOR THE GOOD FOOD
AND GOOD ACTIVITY, BUT
00:25:20.00\00:25:25.03
YOUR FRIENDS WILL TOO.
00:25:25.03\00:25:25.50
I'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
