00:01 >>BILL: GEORGE BENJAMIN CLEMENCEAU WAS A FRENCH
00:03 STATESMAN, PHYSICIAN AND JOURNALIST. HE SERVED 00:05 AS THE PRIME MINISTER OF FRANCE FROM 1906 -1909 AND 00:10 THEN AGAIN FROM 1917 -1920. FOR NEARLY THE 00:11 FINAL YEAR OF WWI HE LED FRANCE AND WAS ONE OF THE 00:18 MAJOR VOICES BEHIND THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES. HE 00:23 WAS COMMONLY NICKNAMED "LE TIGRE" (THE TIGER) AND "LE 00:24 PERE-LA VICTOIRE" (FATHER VICTORY) FOR HIS 00:30 DETERMINATION AS A WARTIME LEADER. ONE DAY ON THE WAY 00:35 TO A MEETING WITH US PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON'S 00:36 ADVISER HE WAS SHOT AT BY A YOUNG ANARCHIST 00:41 NAMED EMILE COTTIN. AS CLEMENCEAUS'S CAR SPED 00:46 AWAY COTTIN FIRED AT LEAST SIX MORE SHOTS, ONE 00:47 OF WHICH STRUCK CLEMENCEAU NEAR HIS HEART. COTTIN 00:52 WAS CAPTURED AND THE DEATH PENALTY DEMANDED, BUT 00:58 CLEMENCEAU ASKED FOR LENIENCY, RECOMMENDING 00:59 EIGHT YEARS IN PRISON "WITH INTENSIVE TRAINING 01:01 IN A SHOOTING GALLERY." 01:16 >>ANNOUNCER: IT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME 01:19 GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE 01:22 STILL RELEVANT IN TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD. 01:26 IT IS WRITTEN . . . 01:29 SHARING MESSAGES OF HOPE AROUND THE WORLD. 01:33 (MUSIC) 01:45 JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 5: 38 - 44 01:52 MARK TWAIN ONCE SAID THIS ABOUT THE BIBLE - 02:32 MARK TWAIN ONCE SAID THIS ABOUT THE BIBLE - 02:46 ACCORDING TO THE FREEDICTIONARY.COM 02:47 RETALIATION IS DEFINED AS "TO RETURN LIKE FOR LIKE, 02:49 ESPECIALLY EVIL FOR EVIL." 02:57 MUCH OF THE WORLD LIVES BY THE LAW OF RETALIATION 02:58 WHETHER IT IS US SECRETARY OF STATE HILARY CLINTON 03:01 STATING THAT IRAN SHOULD EXPECT FULL RETALIATION 03:05 SHOULD IT EVER DECIDE TO BOMB ISRAEL. OR BRAZIL 03:06 PROMISING TO RETALIATE BY IMPOSING IMPORT DUTIES ON 03:11 US PRODUCTS COMING INTO THE COUNTRY SHOULD THE US 03:16 NOT BE WILLING TO RESOLVE THE LONG-STANDING DISPUTE 03:18 OVER US COTTON SUBSIDIES OR ALLEGED TIMES 03:22 SQUARE BOMBER FAISAL SHAHZAD ADMITTING TO US 03:28 AUTHORITIES THAT THE ATTEMPTED TIMES SQUARE 03:29 BOMBING WAS IN RETALIATION FOR US DRONE ATTACKS 03:31 IN PAKISTAN. THIS IS SO COMMON THAT THE WORDS OF 03:37 JESUS WE READ EARLIER HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED BY MANY 03:38 AS BEING: "THE HARDEST SAYINGS OF JESUS" OR "THE 03:42 MOST DIFFICULT VERSES IN THE BIBLE" OR SIMPLY, 03:47 "HYPERBOLE AND IMPOSSIBLE." 03:51 ONE DAY A TRUCK DRIVER STOPPED AT A RESTAURANT 03:52 FOR DINNER AND ORDERED A STEAK. BEFORE HE COULD EAT 03:57 IT, IN WALKED A MOTORCYCLE GANG, WITH DIRTY LEATHER 04:01 JACKETS AND LONG, UNKEMPT HAIR. THEY TOOK THE MAN'S 04:02 STEAK, CUT IT INTO SIX PIECES, AND ATE IT. THE 04:06 DRIVER SAID NOTHING. HE SIMPLY PAID THE BILL AND 04:11 WALKED OUT. ONE OF THE GANG MEMBERS SAID, "THAT 04:12 MAN COULDN'T TALK. HE DIDN'T SAY A WORD." 04:18 ANOTHER ONE SAID, "HE COULDN'T FIGHT, EITHER; HE 04:22 DIDN'T LIFT A HAND." 04:23 A WAITER ADDED, "I WOULD SAY THAT HE COULDN'T DRIVE 04:27 EITHER. ON HIS WAY OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, HE RAN 04:28 OVER SIX MOTORCYCLES." 04:34 SOMETHING IN US LOVES THAT STORY, BECAUSE WE LIKE 04:35 RETALIATION. WHEN JESUS BANNED RETALIATION, 04:39 HE WENT AGAINST OUR NATURE SUPPOSE ALL OF US ANSWERED 04:46 THIS QUESTION HONESTLY - AM I MORE EAGER THAT MY 04:47 ENEMY SUFFER FOR WHAT I BELIEVE HE/SHE DID, OR AM 04:53 I MORE EAGER THAT HE/SHE EXPERIENCE SALVATION 04:58 THROUGH JESUS CHRIST? 04:59 WHAT WOULD OUR HONEST RESPONS BE? 05:06 THE HEART OF JESUS' MESSAGE IN THIS TEXT IS 05:07 THIS: DON'T RETALIATE. 05:11 INSTEAD, WIN OVER THE AGGRESSOR WITH TOUGH, WISE 05:12 LOVE. THIS STRATEGY MAKES NO SENSE UNLESS YOU 05:16 REMEMBER OUR TWO PRIMARY PURPOSES: TO WIN PEOPLE TO 05:23 CHRIST, THEREBY CHANGING THEIR LIVES NOW AND SAVING 05:24 THEIR ETERNAL SOULS; AND, SECONDLY, TO TRANSFORM 05:29 HUMAN SOCIETY INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. "YOU HAVE 05:35 HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID, 05:45 JESUS WAS QUOTING WHAT WAS KNOWN AS THE "LEX 05:46 TALIONIS," THE OLDEST LAW IN THE WORLD--AN EYE FOR 05:49 AN EYE AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH. WHEN THIS LAW WAS 05:54 FIRST DEVELOPED, IT MADE LIFE BETTER AND MORE 05:55 CIVILIZED. IT RESTRICTED REVENGE AND 05:59 MADE IT COMPARABLE TO THE OFFENSE. IT HELPED PREVENT 06:04 UNLIMITED FEUDS LIKE THAT OF THE HATFIELDS AND 06:05 MCCOYS. JESUS SAID THAT RETALIATION, HOWEVER 06:10 CONTROLLED OR RESTRICTED, HAS NO PLACE IN THE 06:15 CHRISTIAN LIFE. JESUS TAUGHT US TO REPLACE 06:16 RETALIATION WITH TOUGH, WISE LOVE. IN VERSES 39 06:22 THROUGH 41, JESUS GIVES US THREE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF 06:31 THIS RADICAL PRINCIPLE IN ACTION. FIRST, VERSE 39 06:46 IF YOU ARE RIGHT-HANDED, AND YOU SLAP SOMEONE ON 06:47 THE RIGHT CHEEK, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? YOU HAVE GIVEN 06:50 THEM A BACKHANDED SLAP. 06:51 THE JEWS CONSIDERED A BACKHANDED SLAP TWICE AS 06:55 INSULTING AS A SLAP WITH THE PALM OF THE HAND. NOW 07:01 SUPPOSE THIS HAPPENS TO YOU. ONE DAY YOU ARE GOING 07:02 ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND SOMEONE YOU KNOW WALKS 07:06 UP TO YOU AND UNJUSTLY INSULTS YOU BY GIVING YOU 07:13 A BACKHANDED SLAP ACROSS THE FACE. YOUR FIRST 07:14 INSTINCT MAY BE TO STRIKE BACK. IN THE TALIONIC 07:18 JARGON, "A SLAP FOR A SLAP." THE JEWISH RABBIS 07:26 HAD A LAW BASED ON ORAL TRADITION FOUND IN WHAT 07:27 IS CALLED THE MISHNAH THAT SAID YOU COULD SEEK 07:32 RESTITUTION IN COURT. THE OFFENDING PARTY WOULD BE 07:37 REQUIRED TO PAY 200 ZUZ (A MONETARY UNIT) FOR A 07:38 FRONTHANDED SLAP AND 400 FOR A BACKHANDED ONE. SO 07:46 IN THAT CULTURE, YOU COULD TAKE HIM TO COURT AND SUE 07:53 HIM FOR INSULT. BUT REMEMBER THAT JESUS IS 07:54 CONTRASTING HIS SYSTEM OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH THAT OF 07:59 THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES. 08:01 NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT STRIKE BACK, TAKE THE PERSON TO 08:05 COURT OR JUST WALK AWAY, OR EVEN JUST STAND THERE 08:12 AND SAY WITH A RAISED VOICE, "WHY DID YOU DO 08:13 THAT?" - JESUS TEACHES NONE OF THESE. BUT HE 08:17 DOES SAY TO ACTIVELY AND VOLUNTARILY TURN THE OTHER 08:21 CHEEK, EXPOSING IT TO A FURTHER STRIKE. AMAZING! 08:23 DID JESUS REALIZE WHAT HE WAS ASKING? JESUS HAD A 08:30 LOT OF NERVE TO ADVISE, "NO RETALIATION." 08:39 BUT REMEMBER OUR TWO PURPOSES: TO WIN EVERY 08:40 PERSON TO CHRIST, AND TO TRANSFORM THE WORLD INTO 08:46 THE KINGDOM OF GOD. HAS RETALIATION EVER SERVED 08:50 THOSE PURPOSES? DO TWO WRONGS EVER MAKE A RIGHT? 08:51 JESUS IS NOT FORBIDDING SELF-DEFENSE. HE IS NOT 08:58 TELLING PEOPLE TO STAY IN SITUATIONS WHERE THEY 09:03 SUFFER PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL ABUSE. JESUS DID 09:04 NOT MEAN THAT WE SHOULD BECOME DOORMATS. WE HAVE A 09:09 DUTY TO PROTECT OURSELVES AND THOSE FOR WHOM WE ARE 09:14 RESPONSIBLE. ALL OF US IN GRADE SCHOOL HAD TO 09:15 DEAL WITH THE SCHOOL-YARD BULLY. TO RUN FROM THE 09:20 BULLY ONLY MADE HIM WORSE. 09:21 THE MOST LOVING THING YOU COULD DO FOR THE BULLY 09:25 WAS TO STAND UP TO HIM, TO SEND HIM A MESSAGE THAT 09:29 BULLYING DOES NOT WORK. 09:30 BUT AFTER YOU STAND UP TO THE BULLY, IT WOULD BE 09:35 WRONG TO START BULLYING THE BULLY, TO BECOME 09:36 THE NEW BULLY ON THE PLAYGROUND. IN VERSE 09:40 40, JESUS SAYS: 09:50 NOW WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO SUE SOMEONE FOR A PIECE 09:52 OF CLOTHING? IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THIS ONE 09:56 WITHOUT SOME OLD TESTAMENT BACKGROUND, SO LET'S LOOK 10:00 AT TWO PASSAGES. 10:04 EXODUS 22: 25 - 27 11:11 UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT BORROWING LAWS, A POOR 11:12 PERSON WHO BORROWED MONEY COULD PROVIDE A GARMENT AS 11:17 A PLEDGE OR COLLATERAL TO HELP ENSURE THAT HE WOULD 11:22 PAY THE LOAN BACK. NORMAL PRACTICE AT THE TIME WOULD 11:23 BE THAT PEOPLE WOULD WEAR A LIGHTER INNER TUNIC 11:29 AND ALSO A HEAVIER OUTER GARMENT OR CLOAK TO BE 11:35 USED IN COLDER CONDITIONS. 11:36 SO WHY WOULD A PERSON GIVE SUCH A PIECE OF CLOTHING 11:41 FOR COLLATERAL? WELL, IF HE WAS REALLY POOR, THAT 11:42 MAY BE ALL THAT HE HAD. 11:46 BUT IT GETS AWFULLY COLD AT NIGHT SOMETIMES EVEN 11:47 IN THE DESERT DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR, SO 11:51 THE OLD TESTAMENT HAD A PROVISION THAT REQUIRED 11:55 THAT THE GARMENT BE RETURNED TO THE POOR 11:56 PERSON EVERY NIGHT FOR WARMTH. THE LENDER WAS 12:00 NOT ALLOWED TO GO INTO THE BORROWER'S HOUSE AND HAD 12:03 TO RETURN THE GARMENT EVERY NIGHT. THE BORROWER 12:04 WAS TO TURN THE GARMENT BACK TO THE LENDER EACH 12:10 MORNING UNTIL THE LOAN WAS PAID BACK. BUT WHAT IF ONE 12:15 OF THE PARTIES VIOLATED ONE OF THESE PROVISIONS? 12:16 WHAT IF THE LENDER CAME, STOOD OUTSIDE THE HOUSE, 12:19 AND ASKED FOR THE GARMENT AND THE BORROWER REFUSED? 12:24 WHAT IF THE POOR PERSON FELT RIGHTLY THAT THE LOAN 12:25 WAS ALREADY PAID OFF AND THE EXCHANGE OF GARMENT 12:31 WAS NO LONGER REQUIRED? 12:32 THIS IS WHERE A LAWSUIT AND COURT INJUNCTION 12:35 MIGHT COME INTO PLAY, AND THE PHARISEES HAD DETAILED 12:38 RULES FOR USING THE COURT SYSTEM AS THE TOOL FOR 12:40 DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM. 12:48 JESUS, HOWEVER, HAS A BOLD AND RADICAL APPROACH. H 12:49 DOESN'T SAY SUE HIM BACK; HE DOESN'T SAY USE THE 12:53 COURTS TO PROVE YOU ARE CORRECT; HE DOESN'T EVEN 12:56 SAY JUST GO AHEAD RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY AND GIVE HIM 12:58 THE GARMENT. AFTER ALL, DEUTERONOMY SAID IF THE 13:01 ONE GARMENT WAS RETURNED ACCORDING TO THE LAW, THAT 13:06 WAS ENOUGH. BUT JESUS SAYS GIVE HIM BOTH GARMENTS! 13:07 AMAZING AGAIN. DON'T STAND ON YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS; IF 13:12 IT SERVES THE MINISTRY, BE WILLING TO SURRENDER ONE'S 13:16 LEGAL RIGHTS. SUCH AN ATTITUDE, IF IT BECAME 13:18 OPERATIVE IN OUR SOCIETY, MIGHT PUT A LOT OF LAWYERS 13:24 OUT OF WORK. FORTUNATELY FOR THEM, THE TREND OF THE 13:29 TIMES IS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. AS LONG AS ALL 13:31 OF US STAND ON OUR RIGHTS, THERE WILL BE LITTLE 13:35 ROOM FOR PROGRESS. THEN IN VERSE 41, JESUS SAYS: 13:46 THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO THIS SITUATION IS THE 13:47 ROMAN LAW THAT REQUIRED AN INDIVIDUAL FROM A 13:52 CONQUERED COUNTRY TO CARRY A LOAD OR PACK UP TO ONE 13:58 MILE ON FOOT IF ASKED BY A ROMAN. IT WAS COMPULSORY 13:59 SERVICE. IT WAS NOT POPULAR; IT WAS HATED; IT 14:04 WAS DONE GRUDGINGLY. THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES 14:09 PARTICULARLY DESPISED THESE LAWS BEING USED 14:10 BY THE RULING POWERS. IN MATTHEW 27:32 WE READ: 14:31 IT WAS THIS LAW THAT ALLOWED THE ROMANS TO 14:32 FORCE SIMON TO CARRY THE CROSS OF JESUS. NOW 14:35 SUPPOSE A ROMAN SOLDIER COMES ALONG AND SAYS CARRY 14:40 MY PACK FOR A MILE. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? 1. ACTIVELY 14:41 RETALIATE, PHYSICAL RETALIATION IN A LIKELY 14:47 FUTILE ATTEMPT AT COMBAT? 14:48 2. RESIST, VERBALLY DENY THE REQUEST, AND RUN LIKE 14:53 THE DICKENS? 3. COMPLY WITH THE REQUEST, MEET THE 14:57 LEGAL REQUIREMENT, AND GO WITH HIM THE MILE, NO MORE 14:58 AND NO LESS? MAYBE YOU MUMBLE AND COMPLAIN THE 15:02 WHOLE WAY. 4. YET JESUS TEACHES NONE OF THESE; HE 15:07 SAYS "GO WITH HIM TWO." 15:08 AMAZING A THIRD TIME! THE PRINCIPLE IS THIS: WHEN 15:14 YOU RESPOND TO AN ONEROUS DUTY WITH CHEERFULNESS 15:15 RATHER THAN RESENTMENT, YOU MAY WIN OVER THE 15:20 ONE WHO GAVE YOU THE DUTY. 15:21 BEING A CHRISTIAN DISCIPLE MEANS LIVING IN A SECULAR 15:26 WORLD BUT WITH A RADICALLY DIFFERENT SPIRIT. IT MEANS 15:32 TO RETURN GOOD FOR EVIL, TO RESPOND TO HATE WITH 15:33 LOVE. THE SECULAR WORLD SAYS, "YOU'RE CRAZY 15:38 TO LIVE THAT WAY." BUT A SOFT ANSWER DOES TURN AWAY 15:44 WRATH. FORGIVENESS IS BETTER THAN VENGEANCE. 15:45 LOVE IS THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE ON EARTH. THE 15:49 MESSAGE OF JESUS IS THIS: DON'T RETALIATE. INSTEAD, 15:55 WIN OVER THE AGGRESSOR WITH TOUGH, WISE LOVE. 15:56 REMEMBER OUR TWO PRIMARY PURPOSES ON THIS EARTH: TO 16:02 WIN PEOPLE TO CHRIST AND TO TRANSFORM HUMAN SOCIETY 16:09 INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 16:14 KIM PHUC IS A VIETNAMESE-CANADIAN 16:15 BEST KNOWN FOR THE CHILD SUBJECT OF A PULITZER 16:19 PRIZE WINNING PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN DURING THE VIETNAM 16:22 WAR ON JUNE 8, 1972. THE ICONIC PICTURE SHOWS HER 16:24 AT ABOUT AGE 9 RUNNING NAKED AFTER BEING SEVERELY 16:30 BURNED ON HER BACK BY A NAPALM ATTACK. THE IMAGE 16:36 OF PHUC RUNNING NAKED AMIDST THE CHAOS BECAME 16:37 ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTING IMAGES OF THE VIETNAM WAR. 16:41 ON A VISIT TO THE VIETNAM WAR MEMORIAL IN WASHINGTON 16:47 D.C. MS. PHUC SAID: 17:15 NO RETALIATION! JUST TOUGH, WISE LOVE. THAT'S 17:17 THE SPIRIT OF JESUS. IT'S THE GREATEST POWER ON 17:22 EARTH. IN THE FACE OF IT, THE DEVIL TREMBLES. 17:32 IS THE FACE THAT I SEE IN THE MIRROR 17:38 THE ONE I WANT OTHERS TO SEE 17:45 DO I SHOW IN THE WAY THAT I WALK IN MY LIFE 17:52 THE LOVE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN TO ME 18:00 MY HEART'S DESIRE IS TO BE LIKE YOU 18:07 IN ALL THAT I DO, ALL I AM 18:15 DO THEY SEE JESUS IN ME 18:21 DO THEY RECOGNIZE YOUR FACE 18:27 DO I COMMUNICATE YOUR LOVE, AND YOUR GRACE 18:39 DO I REFLECT WHO YOU ARE 18:46 IN THE WAY I CHOOSE TO BE 18:52 DO THEY SEE JESUS, JESUS IN ME 19:05 IT'S AMAZING THAT YOU'D EVER USE ME 19:17 BUT USE ME THE WAY YOU WILL 19:22 HELP ME TO HOLD OUT A HEART OF 19:23 COMPASSIONATE GRACE 19:29 A HEART THAT YOU'RE SPIRIT FILLS 19:35 MAY I SHOW FORGIVENESS AND MERCY 19:41 THE SAME WAY YOU'VE SHOWN IT TO ME 19:50 DO THEY SEE JESUS IN ME 19:56 DO THEY RECOGNIZE YOUR FACE 20:02 DO I COMMUNICATE YOUR LOVE, AND YOUR GRACE 20:14 DO I REFLECT WHO YOU ARE 20:20 IN THE WAY I CHOOSE TO BE 20:26 DO THEY SEE JESUS, JESUS IN ME 20:39 WELL I WANT TO SHOW ALL THE WORLD 20:43 THAT YOU ARE THE REASON I LIVE AND BREATHE 20:50 SO YOU'LL BE THE ONE THAT THEY SEE ME 21:02 DO THEY SEE JESUS IN ME 21:08 DO THEY RECOGNIZE YOUR FACE 21:14 DO I COMMUNICATE YOUR LOVE, AND YOUR GRACE 21:25 DO I REFLECT WHO YOU ARE 21:31 IN THE WAY I CHOOSE TO BE 21:38 DO THEY SEE JESUS, JESUS IN ME 22:07 >>BILL: LET US PRAY 22:09 FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE PRAY THAT YOUR HOLY SPIRIT MAY 22:10 TRANSFORM US. WORK UPON OUR HEARTS THAT WE MAY 22:14 RESPOND TO EVIL WITH LOVE THAT WE MAY RESPOND TO THE 22:20 UGLINESS OF THIS WORLD WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS 22:21 CHRIST. WORK IN THE LIVES OF EACH AND EVERYONE 22:27 OF US FATHER I PRAY IN JESUS NAME, AMEN. 23:12 >>BEV: HI, EVERYONE! TODAY, LET'S 23:13 TALK ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS. I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE PEOPLE 23:16 IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU CONSIDER GOOD FRIENDS. 23:19 WHY? BECAUSE THE QUALITY OF OUR FRIENDSHIPS CAN 23:20 IMPACT OUR HEALTH IN A POSITIVE AND HEALTHY 23:24 WAY OR IN A NEGATIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WAY. SO, YES, 23:29 OUR SOCIAL LIFE CAN HELP TO KEEP US HEALTHY OR, IN 23:30 A VERY REAL WAY, IT CAN LITERALLY MAKE US SICK. 23:33 WHAT KIND OF FRIENDS DO YOU SURROUND YOURSELF 23:39 WITH? MANY STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THE LINK BETWEEN 23:40 FRIENDSHIP AND QUALITY OF LIFE. IN PARTICULAR, 23:44 FRIENDS SEEM TO HELP KEEP OUR HEARTS HEALTHY. A 23:49 STUDY REPORTED IN THE JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL 23:50 MEDICAL ASSOCIATION IN 2009 INDICATES 23:53 THAT FRIENDSHIPS HELP TO RELIEVE STRESS WHICH, AS 23:58 YOU MAY KNOW, IS A CONTRIBUTOR TO HEART 23:59 DISEASE. ANOTHER STUDY IN SWEDEN FOUND THAT 24:04 HAVING FEW OR NO FRIENDS INCREASED ONE'S RISK OF 24:08 HEART ATTACK BY 50%. A STUDY IN NEW YORK FOUND 24:09 THAT PEOPLE WITH FEW SOCIAL TIES WERE MORE 24:13 PRONE TO ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND HEART 24:17 DISEASE. ON THE FLIP SIDE, A STUDY PUBLISHED 24:18 IN HORMONES AND BEHAVIOUR FOUND THAT FRIENDS 24:23 WHO CONSTANTLY TALK ABOUT THEIR TROUBLES PUSH UP OUR 24:27 STRESS LEVELS. AND, A RECENT STUDY FOUND THAT 24:28 OUR RISK OF BECOMING OVERWEIGHT INCREASES 24:32 BY 57% IF WE HAVE A CLOSE FRIEND WHO IS OVERWEIGHT. 24:39 IT'S INTERESTING HOW OUR FRIENDSHIPS INFLUENCE NOT 24:40 JUST OUR MOOD, BUT ALSO OUR CHOICES IN LIFE. 24:45 IF YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD FRIEND AND A GOOD 24:48 INFLUENCE ON OTHERS, BE SURE YOU ARE LIVING AS 24:49 HEALTHFUL A LIFE AS YOU CAN. FRIENDS, FOOD, AND 24:54 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SEEM TO GO HAND IN HAND. SO, IN 24:59 YOUR PRIVATE AND YOUR PUBLIC LIFE, BE SURE TO 25:00 CHOOSE THOSE FOODS THAT ARE LIFE-ENHANCING AND 25:05 LIFE-SUSTAINING. INVITE FRIENDS OVER TO SHARE IN A 25:09 FUN, PLANT-BASED MEAL. OR, INVITE FRIENDS TO GO ON 25:10 A WALK WITH YOU, OR BIKE RIDING. BE CONSISTENT, AND 25:14 YOUR HEALTHY CHOICES WILL LIKELY END UP "RUBBING 25:18 OFF" ON YOUR FRIENDS. NOT ONLY WILL YOUR BODY THANK 25:20 YOU FOR THE GOOD FOOD AND GOOD ACTIVITY, BUT 25:25 YOUR FRIENDS WILL TOO. 25:26 I'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME. 25:29 (MUSIC) 25:34 >>MATTHEW: IF YOU ARE ENJOYING THIS SERIES ON 25:35 THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT AND WOULD LIKE TO DEEPEN 25:38 YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE, THEN WHY NOT 25:40 ENROLL TODAY IN IT IS WRITTEN CANADA'S DISCOVER 25:41 BIBLE SCHOOL.
