>>BILL: LONG AGO A MAN
SOUGHT THE PERFECT PICTURE
00:00:02.50\00:00:03.53
OF PEACE. NOT
FINDING ONE THAT SATISFIED,
00:00:03.53\00:00:06.60
HE ANNOUNCED A CONTEST
TO PRODUCE THIS MASTERPIECE.
00:00:06.60\00:00:11.63
THE CHALLENGE STIRRED
THE IMAGINATION OF ARTISTS
00:00:11.63\00:00:12.63
EVERYWHERE, AND PAINTINGS
ARRIVED FROM FAR AND WIDE.
00:00:12.63\00:00:16.56
FINALLY THE GREAT DAY
OF REVELATION ARRIVED. THE
00:00:16.56\00:00:21.43
JUDGES UNCOVERED
ONE PEACEFUL SCENE AFTER
00:00:21.43\00:00:22.26
ANOTHER, WHILE THE
VIEWERS CLAPPED AND CHEERED. THE
00:00:22.26\00:00:26.46
TENSIONS GREW. ONLY TWO
PICTURES REMAINED VEILED.
00:00:26.46\00:00:32.66
AS A JUDGE PULLED THE
COVER FROM ONE, A HUSH
00:00:32.66\00:00:33.63
FELL OVER THE
CROWD. A MIRROR-SMOOTH LAKE
00:00:33.63\00:00:37.36
REFLECTED LACY, GREEN
BIRCHES UNDER THE SOFT
00:00:37.36\00:00:42.20
BLUSH OF THE EVENING SKY.
00:00:42.20\00:00:42.73
ALONG THE GRASSY
SHORE, A FLOCK OF SHEEP GRAZED
00:00:42.73\00:00:47.16
UNDISTURBED. SURELY
THIS WAS THE WINNER. THE MAN
00:00:47.16\00:00:48.16
WITH THE VISION
UNCOVERED THE SECOND PAINTING
00:00:48.16\00:00:53.23
HIMSELF, AND THE CROWD
GASPED IN SURPRISE. COULD
00:00:53.23\00:00:59.76
THIS BE PEACE?
00:00:59.76\00:01:03.66
(MUSIC)
00:01:05.46\00:01:14.53
>>ANNOUNCER: IT HAS
STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.
00:01:15.26\00:01:18.20
GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE.
00:01:18.53\00:01:21.53
STILL RELEVANT IN
TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD.
00:01:21.90\00:01:26.46
IT IS WRITTEN.
00:01:26.83\00:01:27.20
SHARING MESSAGES OF
HOPE AROUND THE WORLD.
00:01:27.20\00:01:32.83
(MUSIC)
00:01:33.50\00:01:47.90
THE PAINTING WAS OF A
TUMULTUOUS WATERFALL THAT
00:01:48.20\00:01:49.20
CASCADED DOWN A
ROCKY PRECIPICE; THE CROWD
00:01:49.20\00:01:52.93
COULD ALMOST FEEL ITS
COLD, PENETRATING SPRAY.
00:01:52.93\00:01:57.80
STORMY-GRAY CLOUDS
THREATENED TO EXPLODE WITH
00:01:57.80\00:01:58.76
LIGHTNING, WIND AND RAIN.
00:01:58.76\00:02:03.60
IN THE MIDST OF THE
THUNDERING NOISES AND
00:02:03.60\00:02:04.53
BITTER CHILL, A SPINDLY
TREE CLUNG TO THE ROCKS AT
00:02:04.53\00:02:08.63
THE EDGE OF THE FALLS.
ONE OF ITS BRANCHES REACHED
00:02:08.63\00:02:13.23
OUT TORRENTIAL WATERS AS
00:02:13.23\00:02:14.13
IF FOOLISHLY SEEKING TO
EXPERIENCE ITS FULL POWER.
00:02:14.13\00:02:17.33
A LITTLE BIRD HAD BUILT
A NEST IN THE ELBOW OF THAT
00:02:17.33\00:02:23.06
BRANCH. CONTENT AND
UNDISTURBED IN HER STORMY
00:02:23.06\00:02:24.03
SURROUNDINGS, SHE RESTED
ON HER EGGS. WITH HER EYES
00:02:24.03\00:02:28.63
CLOSED AND HER WINGS
READY TO COVER HER LITTLE ONES,
00:02:28.63\00:02:31.13
SHE MANIFESTED PEACE
THAT TRANSCENDS ALL EARTHLY
00:02:31.13\00:02:32.13
TURMOIL. JESUS SAID,
00:02:32.13\00:02:34.66
YOU SEE, THE PEACE
JESUS GIVES DOES NOT WORK IN A
00:02:46.93\00:02:47.90
VACUUM. NEITHER IS IT
THE CALM AFTER A STORM. THE
00:02:47.90\00:02:53.20
PEACE JESUS GIVES IS
A CALM AND QUIETNESS OF
00:02:53.20\00:02:56.00
HEART IN THE MIDST OF
A STORM! IT IS A PEACE
00:02:56.00\00:02:56.96
THE WORLD CANNOT GIVE.
00:02:56.96\00:03:08.20
WELL, WE ARE CONTINUING

WELL, IT'S JOY TO BE
ABLE TO BE A PART OF THE

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
CHURCH IN CANADA. A VERY
00:04:33.73\00:04:38.50
LARGE TERRITORY THAT WE
COVER AND, YOU KNOW, FROM
00:04:38.50\00:04:39.53
EAST TO WEST AND I GET
THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT
00:04:39.53\00:04:43.96
WITH MANY, MANY WONDERFUL
PEOPLE HERE AND THERE AND
00:04:43.96\00:04:47.46
TO BE A PART OF
MANY EXCITING THINGS THAT
00:04:47.46\00:04:48.36
THE ADVENTIST CHURCH
IS INVOLVED IN. ADVENTIST
00:04:48.36\00:04:52.60
EDUCATION, CHRISTIAN
EDUCATION FOR PEOPLE ALL
00:04:52.60\00:04:55.60
THE WAY FROM KINDERGARTEN
THROUGH UNIVERSITY AND TO
00:04:55.60\00:04:56.63
THINK ABOUT THINGS
LIKE HEALTH SERVICES AND
00:04:56.63\00:05:01.50
VARIOUS THINGS ALONG
WITH OUR REGULAR CHURCH
00:05:01.50\00:05:07.96
PROGRAMS AND SO ON THAT
WE HAVE. IT'S A BIG, IT'S
00:05:07.96\00:05:09.00
A BIG OPPORTUNITY TO
SHARE WITH PEOPLE HOW CHRIST
00:05:09.00\00:05:14.20
WOULD HAVE INTERSECTED
WITH THEIR LIVES IF HE
00:05:14.20\00:05:18.70
WERE PRESENT WITH US
TODAY. >>BILL: WELL, IT'S
00:05:18.70\00:05:19.66
A HUGE UNDERTAKING. I
KNOW THE LORD HAS BEEN USING
00:05:19.66\00:05:23.53
YOU AND WILL CONTINUE
TO USE YOU AS YOU LEAD THE
00:05:23.53\00:05:29.30
CHURCH, THE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH HERE IN
00:05:29.30\00:05:30.30
CANADA. WELL, LET'S TALK
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PEACE.
00:05:30.30\00:05:33.56
PAUL SAYS THAT'S ONE OF
THE OUTWORKINGS, RIGHT; OF
00:05:33.56\00:05:40.40
THE EXTERNAL
MANIFESTATIONS OF THE
00:05:40.40\00:05:41.30
SPIRITS WORK INSIDE
THE LIFE THAT - PEACE. WHEN
00:05:41.30\00:05:44.96
I THINK OF PEACE A
COUPLE OF THINGS COME TO MIND. I
00:05:44.96\00:05:48.70
THINK, PROBABLY FIRST
AND FOREMOST, OF THE PEACE
00:05:48.70\00:05:49.70
SIGN, RIGHT? >>PASTOR
JOHNSON & PASTOR PALMER:
00:05:49.70\00:05:53.83
YES. >>BILL: HAVING GROWN
UP - NOW, PASTOR PALMER IS
00:05:53.83\00:05:56.86
PROBABLY TOO YOUNG TO
REMEMBER THOSE.>>PASTOR
00:05:56.86\00:05:57.86
PALMER: PROBABLY, YEAH.
00:05:57.86\00:05:59.00
>>BILL:.THOSE PEACE
MOVEMENTS AND I WAS YOUNG
00:05:59.00\00:05:59.96
BUT I REMEMBER THOSE. I
THINK OF PEACE, I THINK OF
00:05:59.96\00:06:02.93
HENRY KISSINGER FOR
SOME REASON, I THINK OF - WAS
00:06:02.93\00:06:08.30
IT ANWAR SADAT? MANAKAN
BAY AND SHAKING HANDS BUT
00:06:08.30\00:06:09.33
- I'M GOING TO GO OUT ON
LIMB HERE PASTOR, I DON'T
00:06:09.33\00:06:12.73
THINK THAT THAT'S A
PEACE THAT PAUL'S REFERRING TO
00:06:12.73\00:06:17.56
HERE BECAUSE THAT PEACE
IS NOT ENDURING. >>PASTOR
00:06:17.56\00:06:18.60
JOHNSON: NO. >>PASTOR
PALMER: CERTAINLY. >>BILL:
00:06:18.60\00:06:24.56
IT HAS NOT, YOU KNOW,
THE PEACE MOVEMENT, OF THE
00:06:24.56\00:06:29.50
HIPPIES MOVEMENT.>>PASTOR
JOHNSON: RIGHT. >>BILL:
00:06:29.50\00:06:30.53
MEAN IN THE MIDST OF
THE TURMOIL OF THE VIETNAM
00:06:30.53\00:06:32.36
WAR, THE ARAB-ISRAELI
CONFLICT, THOSE ARE ALL
00:06:32.36\00:06:35.56
ON-GOING. AND SO, WHEN
JESUS SAID, LISTEN, THE
00:06:35.56\00:06:36.56
PEACE THAT I'M GOING
TO GIVE YOU IS NOT THE
00:06:36.56\00:06:41.46
PEACE THE WORLD CAN DO.
00:06:41.46\00:06:41.96
THE WORLD'S PEACE IS
NOT ENDURING. WHAT IS
00:06:41.96\00:06:44.16
PAUL SPEAKING ABOUT HERE
>>PASTOR PALMER: WELL, YOU
00:06:44.16\00:06:48.70
SEE, I WAS LOOKING AT
THIS PARTICULAR PASSAGE AND
00:06:48.70\00:06:49.73
PEACE THERE OF ITSELF,
OF THE 18 VICES AND THE
00:06:49.73\00:06:53.70
9 VIRTUES, FRUIT OF THE
SPIRIT. PEACE JUMPS OUT AT
00:06:53.70\00:07:00.13
ME BECAUSE, ESPECIALLY
NOW IN A WORLD THAT WE
00:07:00.13\00:07:01.10
LIVE IN, IT SEEMS THAT
EVERYBODY IS SEEKING AN
00:07:01.10\00:07:04.73
ANSWER TO PEACE. >>BILL:
TRUE. >>PASTOR PALMER: IT
00:07:04.73\00:07:08.53
SEEMS THAT EVERYWHERE
YOU TURN THERE'S WAR. THERE'S
00:07:08.53\00:07:09.56
WAR IN HOMES, THERE'S
WAR IN THE WORLD REALLY,
00:07:09.56\00:07:12.20
EVERY NATION, NATIONS
AGAINST NATIONS. AND I WAS
00:07:12.20\00:07:15.56
REMINDED IN SCRIPTURE
THAT WAR, ACTUALLY, BEGAN
00:07:15.56\00:07:16.56
NOT HERE ON EARTH BUT
IT STARTED IN HEAVEN. AND
00:07:16.56\00:07:23.03
THE DEVIL BROUGHT WAR
HERE ON EARTH. AND FROM THAT
00:07:23.03\00:07:27.33
MOMENT, HENCEFORTH, SEEMS
FOREVER UNTIL JESUS COMES,
00:07:27.33\00:07:28.40
IT SEEMS WE'RE AT WAR.
AND THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO
00:07:28.40\00:07:32.76
ARE TRYING TO FIND
PEACE AND THEIR WAY OF FINDING
00:07:32.76\00:07:35.63
PEACE IS JUST NOT TO HAVE
WAR BUT I'VE REALIZED THAT
00:07:35.63\00:07:36.70
PEACE IS MERELY NOT
JUST THE ABSENCE OF WAR.
00:07:36.70\00:07:40.73
SOMEONE SAID IT'S THE
ABILITY TO COPE WITH WAR.
00:07:40.73\00:07:45.56
AND TO HAVE THAT
INNER PEACE THAT PASSES ALL
00:07:45.56\00:07:46.53
UNDERSTANDING.
>>BILL: YEAH, IN THE OPENER I
00:07:46.53\00:07:48.90
TALKED ABOUT THE PAINTING,
THE WATERFALL THERE AND
00:07:48.90\00:07:53.20
THE LITTLE BIRD, AND SO
BEING ABLE TO BE PEACEFUL,
00:07:53.20\00:07:54.26
AT PEACE WHILE ALL
AROUND YOU THERE'S TURMOIL AND
00:07:54.26\00:08:00.23
ANGUISH AND SUFFERING
>>PASTOR JOHNSON: IT'S
00:08:00.23\00:08:05.30
TRUE. IT'S INTERESTING
TO ME THAT WHEN WE THINK
00:08:05.30\00:08:06.26
IN TERMS OF PEACE
AND, AS PASTOR PALMER HAS
00:08:06.26\00:08:09.66
MENTIONED, IN THE
LARGER SENSE OF THE PASSAGE YOU
00:08:09.66\00:08:15.70
HAVE WAR ON THE ONE
HAND AND PEACE AND OPPOSITION
00:08:15.70\00:08:16.66
TO THAT IN A SENSE.
THAT REALLY, THAT'S, KIND
00:08:16.66\00:08:21.56
OF, HOW WE DEFINE
PEACE, ISNT' IT? AN ABSENSE OF
00:08:21.56\00:08:27.00
CONFLICT, AN ABSENSE OF
THINGS THAT UPSET US. IT'S
00:08:27.00\00:08:28.06
INTERESTING THAT I
WAS THINKING ABOUT SOME OF
00:08:28.06\00:08:32.56
MY EXPERIENCES WHEN
I SERVED AS A PASTOR OF
00:08:32.56\00:08:36.46
CONGREGATIONS. THERE
WAS A PERSON I KNEW, IN
00:08:36.46\00:08:37.43
PARTICULAR, WHO
FREQUENTLY WOULD CALL ME UP IN A
00:08:37.43\00:08:41.16
TIME OF CRISIS AND WANT
TO TALK THROUGH THAT KIND OF
00:08:41.16\00:08:46.63
CRISIS. AND I REMEMBER
THINKING AT THE TIME THAT
00:08:46.63\00:08:47.63
ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES
THAT FACE US IS THAT WE CAN BE
00:08:47.63\00:08:53.50
IN A STATE OF PEACE
WITHIN OURSELVES AND WITHIN THE
00:08:53.50\00:09:00.06
FRAMEWORK OF GOD'S
CARE FOR US, REGARDLESS OF
00:09:00.06\00:09:01.03
WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND US.
00:09:01.03\00:09:03.90
IT MAY NOT SEEM SO
PEACEFUL ON THE OUTSIDE
00:09:03.90\00:09:04.83
BUT IF WE HAVE THAT
INNER SENSE OF PEACE, WHICH IS
00:09:04.83\00:09:08.90
WHERE IT REALLY HAS
TO SPRING FROM WE'VE GOT,
00:09:08.90\00:09:12.26
WE'VE GOT IT. >>BILL:
YES, JESUS SLEEPING ON THE BOAT
00:09:12.26\00:09:13.36
WHILE THE STORM IS ALL
AROUND, RIGHT? THE PEACE,
00:09:13.36\00:09:17.86
RIGHT? THAT CONFIDENCE, A
ASSURANCE, RIGHT? >>PASTOR
00:09:17.86\00:09:21.76
PALMER: A LEVEL OF
TRANQUILITY. >>BILL:
00:09:21.76\00:09:22.63
TRANQUILITY.
>>PASTOR PALMER: YOU HAVE
00:09:22.63\00:09:26.43
TO HAVE THAT - IT'S A
CONSCIENCENESS THAT DOES
00:09:26.43\00:09:28.23
NOT COME FROM
EARTHLY ACTIVITIES BUT IT'S
00:09:28.23\00:09:29.16
SOMETHING HEAVENLY. IT'S
NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST
00:09:29.16\00:09:33.70
GET UP AND SAY, I AM AT
PEACE. IT'S SOMETHING YOU
00:09:33.70\00:09:37.06
HAVE TO HAVE WITH GOD.
IN EFFECT, THE WORD PEACE IN
00:09:37.06\00:09:38.10
ITS ORIGINAL SENSE, IN
THE GREEK CONTEXT, DOES MEAN,
00:09:38.10\00:09:43.06
MEANS BIND TOGETHER, IN
OUR WORDS. SO UNTIL WE ALL
00:09:43.06\00:09:50.43
COME TOGETHER AND
UNDERSTAND WHERE EACH
00:09:50.43\00:09:51.46
OTHER IS COMING
FROM, RESPECTING OUR OWN
00:09:51.46\00:09:54.60
PERSONAL PLACE AND
SPACE, NOTING WHERE WE'RE COMING
00:09:54.60\00:10:00.03
FROM, OUR STRENGTHS
AND OUR STRUGGLES, OUR
00:10:00.03\00:10:01.10
UPBRINGING AND WHERE
WE'RE ALL GOING. UNTIL WE'RE
00:10:01.10\00:10:03.60
ABLE TO FIGURE THAT OUT
WE WILL ALWAYS BE AT WAR.
00:10:03.60\00:10:07.33
EVEN WITH OUR OWN SELVES.
00:10:07.33\00:10:07.86
>>BILL: SO, PEACE IN
THE ORIGINAL MEANING MEANS
00:10:07.86\00:10:10.63
BINDING TOGETHER.>>PASTOR
PALMER: BINDING TOGETHER.
00:10:10.63\00:10:11.76
>>BILL:.IT'S INTERESTING
BECAUSE PAUL THROUGHOUT,
00:10:11.76\00:10:13.50
YOU KNOW, THESE SIX
CHAPTERS HERE IN GALATIONS
00:10:13.50\00:10:17.00
HAS BEEN, ONE OF THE
POINTS THAT HE'S BEEN
00:10:17.00\00:10:17.93
TRYING TO RE-ENFORCE IS
THAT WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME
00:10:17.93\00:10:20.66
BOAT WHETHER WE ARE JEWS
OR GENTILES, RIGHT? WE'RE
00:10:20.66\00:10:25.60
ALL TOGETHER. WE ALL
GOT TO, WE ALL NEED TO COME
00:10:25.60\00:10:26.60
TOGETHER. THAT'S A VERY
INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE ON
00:10:26.60\00:10:31.00
THAT, ON PEACE. >>PASTOR
PALMER: YEAH. >>BILL: ALL
00:10:31.00\00:10:35.30
OF US COMING TOGETHER.
00:10:35.30\00:10:35.80
>>PASTOR PALMER: AND
AS YOU MENTIONED THAT,
00:10:35.80\00:10:37.50
RECENTLY I WAS AT A
PEACE SYMPOSIUM AT A SECONDARY
00:10:37.50\00:10:38.50
SCHOOL THERE, CLOSE TO
MY CHURCH IN MEADOWVALE. AND
00:10:38.50\00:10:42.53
WE HAD REPRESENTATIVES
FROM DIFFERENT FAITHS. WE
00:10:42.53\00:10:46.23
HAD A MUSLUM, WE HAD A
SIEK, HINDU, A BUDDIST,
00:10:46.23\00:10:47.23
AND I WAS REPRESENTING
CHRISTIANITY. AND AT THE
00:10:47.23\00:10:51.33
END OF IT, WHAT WE ALL
GOT FROM IT IS THAT UNTIL WE
00:10:51.33\00:10:55.46
ALL UNDERSTAND EACH
OTHER, RESPECT EACH OTHER AND
00:10:55.46\00:10:56.50
EVEN COME TOGETHER AND
SEE THAT WE'RE ALL ONE IN THE
00:10:56.50\00:11:01.13
SIGHT OF GOD WE WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS
00:11:01.13\00:11:05.63
ELUSIVE PEACE THAT
THE WORLD IS TALKING ABOUT
00:11:05.63\00:11:06.70
>>PASTOR PALMER: WE
KNOW, AS WELL, AS CHRISTIANS,
00:11:06.70\00:11:10.40
AND I'VE HAD THAT FEELING
THAT AS CHRISTIANS WE CAN
00:11:10.40\00:11:14.76
HAVE THAT PEACE
NOW, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
00:11:14.76\00:11:15.66
>>BILL: SO THIS IS NOT
ONLY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN
00:11:15.66\00:11:19.10
LOOK FORWARD TO HAPPENING
IN THE FUTURE? >>PASTOR
00:11:19.10\00:11:21.23
PALMER: OH NO. WE
CAN EXPERIENCE THAT PEACE
00:11:21.23\00:11:22.13
RIGHT NOW. >>BILL: WE
CAN EXPERIENCE THAT PEACE
00:11:22.13\00:11:24.86
RIGHT NOW. OKAY, HOW?
00:11:24.86\00:11:25.33
>>PASTOR JOHNSON:
YEAH. BY VIRTUE OF THAT
00:11:25.33\00:11:30.03
RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU
HAVE WITH JESUS CHRIST,
00:11:30.03\00:11:31.80
INVITING HIM INTO YOUR
LIFE AND ALLOW HIM TO LEAD
00:11:31.80\00:11:32.83
YOU BECAUSE NATURALLY
OUR OWN HUMAN TENDENCIES TEND
00:11:32.83\00:11:35.03
TO LEAD US TO WAR. WHEN
A CHILD IS BORN THAT CHILD
00:11:35.03\00:11:39.46
IS BORN FIGHTING.
00:11:39.46\00:11:39.86
YOU'RE BORN NATURALLY
BENT TOWARDS THAT. YOUR
00:11:39.86\00:11:45.96
PREPENSITORY IS TOWARD
THAT. SO IT HAS TO BE AN
00:11:45.96\00:11:46.93
ADJUST MENT MADE NOT
IN HUMAN TERMS BUT BY GOD
00:11:46.93\00:11:51.46
HIMSELF. WHEN YOU GIVE
HIM YOUR ALL AND TURN YOUR ALL
00:11:51.46\00:11:55.23
OVER TO HIM HE WILL THEN
BE ABLE TO GUIDE YOU IN A
00:11:55.23\00:11:56.23
PEACEFUL MANNER. >>PASTOR
JOHNSON: IT'S INTERESTING
00:11:56.23\00:11:59.03
TO ME THAT PEACE CAN
BE IN ONE OF TWO CONTEXTS.
00:11:59.03\00:12:02.63
PERSONAL PEACE,
WHICH I THINK COMES FROM A
00:12:02.63\00:12:03.56
SENSE, AN INNER SENSE
OF WELL-BEING AND THEN
00:12:03.56\00:12:10.26
THERE IS A PEACE WHICH
IS A COLLECTIVE PEACE AND
00:12:10.26\00:12:15.86
THAT'S WHAT WE THINK
ABOUT WHEN WE'RE THINKING ABOUT
00:12:15.86\00:12:16.93
THE STATE OF PEACE IN
THE WORLD.>>BILL: RIGHT.
00:12:16.93\00:12:19.80
>>PASTOR JOHNSON:.OR
IN THE COMMUNITY. >>BILL:
00:12:19.80\00:12:22.03
RIGHT. >>PASTOR
JOHNSON: AND I THINK IT'S VERY
00:12:22.03\00:12:23.10
INTERESTING TO ME THAT
IN MY PASTORAL WORK OVER THE
00:12:23.10\00:12:26.26
YEARS, HAVING
PASTORED IN A LOT OF LARGE CITY
00:12:26.26\00:12:33.20
ENVIRONMENTS AS PASTOR
PALMER IS NOW, THAT THERE
00:12:33.20\00:12:34.20
IS THIS SENSE THAT
IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
00:12:34.20\00:12:39.20
PEACE IN A COMMUNITY
THERE HAS TO BE PEACE WITHIN THE
00:12:39.20\00:12:44.46
INDIVIDUALS WHO MAKE UP
THAT COMMUNITY OTHERWISE
00:12:44.46\00:12:45.46
THERE'S GOING TO BE A
HUGE STRUGGLE ALL THE TIME AND
00:12:45.46\00:12:49.43
YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GET
IT. SO THE QUESTION THAT I
00:12:49.43\00:12:54.30
THINK BECOMES VERY
IMPORTANT TO EACH ONE OF
00:12:54.30\00:12:55.20
US IS THE ONE THAT YOU
POSED, BILL, WHICH IS HOW
00:12:55.20\00:12:59.33
DO WE THEN ACQUIRE
THAT PEACE? AND IT IS THAT
00:12:59.33\00:13:03.56
CONTEXT OF BEING CLOSE
WITH CHRIST, UNDERSTANDING
00:13:03.56\00:13:04.60
HOW CHRIST DESIGNED ME
TO BE. BECAUSE IF I'M NOT IN
00:13:04.60\00:13:09.73
HARMONY WITH HOW CHRIST
WANTED ME TO BE, I CAN'T
00:13:09.73\00:13:13.70
BE AT PEACE BECAUSE I
AM TRYING TO BE SOMETHING
00:13:13.70\00:13:14.66
THAT I AM NOT.
>>BILL: YEAH. AND IN THAT, IN
00:13:14.66\00:13:17.60
THAT COMING TOGETHER
WITH CHRIST, THAT BINDING WITH
00:13:17.60\00:13:23.13
CHRIST, THAT RELATIONSHIP
DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN
00:13:23.13\00:13:24.26
THAT THE PROBLEMS
DON'T COME. I MEAN, THE KNOCK
00:13:24.26\00:13:28.83
AGAINST
CHRISTIANS SOMETIMES.>>PASTOR
00:13:28.83\00:13:31.56
JOHNSON: SURE.
>>BILL:.YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, YOU
00:13:31.56\00:13:32.56
LIVE IN A DIFFERENT WORLD.
00:13:32.56\00:13:34.53
LISTEN, I HAVE A MORTGAGE
TO PAY, LIKE OTHER PEOPLE
00:13:34.53\00:13:35.66
HAVE A MORTGAGE. I LOOK
AT THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
00:13:35.66\00:13:40.46
AND, YOU KNOW, I SEE WHAT
EVERYBODY SEES AND I KNOW,
00:13:40.46\00:13:48.83
I SEE THE GAS PRICES
GOING UP AND I KNOW IT COSTS
00:13:48.83\00:13:49.86
ME MORE TO FILL UP MY
TANK LIKE IT DOES.>>PASTOR
00:13:49.86\00:13:54.33
JOHNSON: SURE.
00:13:54.33\00:13:54.66
>>BILL:.EVERYBODY ELSE.
00:13:54.66\00:13:56.63
IT'S NOT THAT THE
PROBLEMS DON'T EXIST OR WE DON'T
00:13:56.63\00:13:57.70
RECOGNIZE ISSUES, IT'S
REALLY, TO ME IT'S HOW AS
00:13:57.70\00:14:03.16
A CHRISTIAN DO I DEAL
WITH THAT, THAT REALLY BRINGS
00:14:03.16\00:14:09.86
ME, YOU KNOW, BRINGS ME
THE PEACE. THAT ABSENCE OF
00:14:09.86\00:14:10.93
STRESS OR THAT ABSENCE
OF ANXIETY, KNOWING THAT
00:14:10.93\00:14:17.00
I'M A CHILD OF GOD
AND EVENTHOUGH EVERYTHING
00:14:17.00\00:14:21.26
AROUND ME MAY APPEAR THAT
IT IS OUT OF CONTROL, THAT
00:14:21.26\00:14:22.33
I BELIEVE THAT MY
HEAVENLY FATHER, STILL, IS IN
00:14:22.33\00:14:28.00
CONTROL. >>PASTOR
JOHNSON: AND THAT IS THE KEY.
00:14:28.00\00:14:31.93
>>BILL: WHAT IS
HAPPENING, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN
00:14:31.93\00:14:33.03
MY LIFE AND ALL AROUND US?
00:14:33.03\00:14:34.23
>>PASTOR JOHNSON:
ISN'T THAT THE KEY THOUGH
00:14:34.23\00:14:35.20
>>BILL: IT IS TO ME.
I THINK, YEAH. >>PASTOR
00:14:35.20\00:14:36.70
JOHNSON: NOW YOU HAVE,
YOU HAVE AN AWARENESS THERE'S
00:14:36.70\00:14:38.93
SOMEBODY THERE WHO'S
INTERESTED IN YOU, WHO
00:14:38.93\00:14:39.86
REALLY CARES FOR YOU
MORE THAN YOU CARE FOR
00:14:39.86\00:14:44.76
YOURSELF, WHICH FOR
MOST OF US IS QUITE A BIT AND
00:14:44.76\00:14:47.36
THE REALITY IS THAT GOD
IS INTERESTED. HE'S AN ACTIVE
00:14:47.36\00:14:48.46
PARTNER IN LIFE. AND
SO, EVEN WHEN THINGS ARE
00:14:48.46\00:14:53.20
FALLING APART, I MEAN, I
MIGHT LOSE MY JOB, I MIGHT
00:14:53.20\00:14:58.00
HAVE A RELATIONAL ISSUE,
WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES
00:14:58.00\00:14:59.03
MAY BE THE REALITY IS
THAT A LOT OF THESE LITTLE
00:14:59.03\00:15:03.93
THINGS THAT UPSET OUR
PEACE, IN THE BIG PICTURE
00:15:03.93\00:15:08.20
ARE NOT THAT SIGNIFICANT.
00:15:08.20\00:15:08.73
>>PASTOR PALMER:
THAT'S TRUE. >>PASTOR JOHNSON:
00:15:08.73\00:15:12.90
BECAUSE HE QUESTION
FOR ME AS A HUMAN BEING IS
00:15:12.90\00:15:13.90
WHERE'S THE
TRAJECTORY THAT I'M HEADED? AM I
00:15:13.90\00:15:17.86
HEADED TOWARD THE KINGDOM
OF GOD AS GOD HAS PROMISED
00:15:17.86\00:15:20.46
AND INVITED ME TO OR IS
THERE A PROBLEM WITH THAT
00:15:20.46\00:15:21.63
AND TO ME THAT'S THE
BIG, THE BIG ISSUE. >>PASTOR
00:15:21.63\00:15:26.86
PALMER: YOU SEE AND TO
YOUR POINT MARK, YOU SEE
00:15:26.86\00:15:31.83
PEACE IS SOMETHING THAT
TRANSCENDS WHAT WE CALL,
00:15:31.83\00:15:32.96
HUMAN SELFISHNESS. IF YOU
HAVE THAT INNER PEACE THAT
00:15:32.96\00:15:39.16
COMES FROM A UNION WITH
THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU HAVE
00:15:39.16\00:15:43.10
TO BE FIRST JOINED WITH
HIM. AND JOINING WITH HIM
00:15:43.10\00:15:44.13
YOU'RE ABLE THEN TO JOIN
WITH OTHERS. AND THEN YOU
00:15:44.13\00:15:49.80
HAVE THAT BINDING WHICH
IS SO IMPORTANT FOR PEACE TO
00:15:49.80\00:15:51.83
OCCUR. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:15:51.83\00:15:52.33
>>PASTOR PALMER: THE
ONLY REASON TO GET TO THAT
00:15:52.33\00:15:54.96
LEVEL IS TO REMOVE
THAT LEVEL OR ELEMENT OF
00:15:54.96\00:15:56.00
SELFISHNESS. BECAUSE
WHEN YOU'RE NOT, WHEN YOU'RE
00:15:56.00\00:15:58.83
SELFLESS YOU
RECOGNIZE THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT, I
00:15:58.83\00:16:02.90
HAVE TO LOOK AT MY
BROTHER. I HAVE TO TAKE
00:16:02.90\00:16:03.83
CARE OF MY SISTER. I
HAVE TO BE THERE FOR SOMEBODY
00:16:03.83\00:16:06.76
ELSE. YOU HAVE THAT
SENSE OF FUFILLMENT WITHIN FROM
00:16:06.76\00:16:10.16
HAVING BEEN THERE
AND JOINED TOGETHER WITH
00:16:10.16\00:16:11.03
SOMEONE ELSE AT A LEVEL
OF ?. >>BILL: YEAH, THAT'S
00:16:11.03\00:16:15.06
- I THINK THAT IS
ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I THINK
00:16:15.06\00:16:19.86
SOMETIMES FOR
CHRISTIANS THAT WE WRESTLE
00:16:19.86\00:16:20.73
WITH >>PASTOR
PALMER: CERTAINLY. >>BILL:
00:16:20.73\00:16:23.03
THAT WE, AGAIN, GAIN AN
INTELLECTUAL UNDERSTANDING
00:16:23.03\00:16:26.20
OF THEOLOGY BUT IN
THE PRACTICE, RIGHT? AND,
00:16:26.20\00:16:27.16
BILLY GRAHAM, I
THINK, ONCE SAID CHRISTIANS
00:16:27.16\00:16:35.33
HAVE A PREJUDICE
AGAINST THE PRACTICAL. >>PASTOR
00:16:35.33\00:16:39.80
PALMER: OF COURSE,
AND THAT'S TRUE. >>BILL:
00:16:39.80\00:16:40.70
ALRIGHT. >>PASTOR JOHNSON:
AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S KIND
00:16:40.70\00:16:42.40
OF INTERESTING IS THAT I
THINK REGARDLESS OF WHERE
00:16:42.40\00:16:45.00
WE ARE IN TERMS OF
RELIGION AND SO ON,
00:16:45.00\00:16:45.86
EVERYBODY WANTS PEACE.
00:16:45.86\00:16:49.86
>>BILL: YES.
>>PASTOR JOHNSON: IF YOU AND I
00:16:49.86\00:16:50.83
WANTED TO BE INCREDIBLY
WEALTHY OVERNIGHT ALL WE'D
00:16:50.83\00:16:53.20
HAVE TO DO IS FIGURE
OUT HOW TO PACKAGE PEACE AND
00:16:53.20\00:16:57.86
GET IT INTO WALMART OR
INTO CANADIAN TIRE OR SOME
00:16:57.86\00:16:58.90
PLACE AND IT WOULD FLY
OFF THE SHELVES BECAUSE
00:16:58.90\00:17:03.93
EVERYBODY WANTS IT. BUT
IT IS VERY ELUSIVE FOR MANY
00:17:03.93\00:17:07.26
PEOPLE, ISN'T IT?
>>BILL: YES. ABSOLUTELY IT IS.
00:17:07.26\00:17:08.26
>>PASTOR PALMER: YOU
KNOW, SOMEONE ONCE SAID THAT
00:17:08.26\00:17:11.90
WHEN THE POWER OF
LOVE OVERCOMES THE LOVE OF
00:17:11.90\00:17:18.20
POWER WE WILL ACCOMPLISH
PEACE. YOU SEE, A LOT OF
00:17:18.20\00:17:19.16
US AND I SPOKE ABOUT
THE SELFISHNESS A WHILE AGO,
00:17:19.16\00:17:23.96
THE REASON WE HAVE
WARS IN THIS WORLD, IN THE
00:17:23.96\00:17:28.20
PHYSICAL NATURE, IN THE
PHYSICAL REALM, THE REASON
00:17:28.20\00:17:29.26
WE FIGHT AGAINST OUR
OWN SELVES EVEN, IS FOR THE
00:17:29.26\00:17:32.10
MERE FACT THAT WE DON'T
HAVE THAT LOVE. BECAUSE IF
00:17:32.10\00:17:36.83
YOU HAVE THE LOVE FOR
YOUR BROTHER, THE LOVE FOR
00:17:36.83\00:17:37.86
YOUR SISTER, THE LOVE
FOR YOURSELF, YOU'LL RESPECT
00:17:37.86\00:17:41.03
YOURSELF AND TREAT OTHERS
AS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.
00:17:41.03\00:17:44.30
>>BILL: AND I THINK,
AGAIN, IT REINFORCES THIS
00:17:44.30\00:17:45.40
POINT THAT PAUL CALLS
THIS 'FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT'.
00:17:45.40\00:17:47.96
>>PASTOR PALMER: YES.
00:17:47.96\00:17:48.43
>>BILL: THAT, AS PASTOR

CAN'T HAVE PEACE WITHOUT

LOVING.>>PASTOR
PALMER: OF COURSE. >>BILL:.YOUR

CONTENTMENT HERE. >>PASTOR

A LOT OF TIMES, THE LACK
00:18:04.53\00:18:06.06
OF PEACE OR WHAT I
WOULD CALL ANXIETY IS CREATED
00:18:06.06\00:18:09.83
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE
WANT, WE COVET WHAT, YOU
00:18:09.83\00:18:10.80
KNOW, OUR NEIGHBOUR HAS.
00:18:10.80\00:18:16.23
HEY, MY NEIGHBOUR'S
GOT THAT BRAND NEW CAR, WHY
00:18:16.23\00:18:17.26
DON'T I HAVE THE BRAND
NEW CAR. OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT

KNOW WHAT'S INTERESTING,
00:18:51.30\00:18:55.13
BILL, WHEN YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT THAT IT MAKES ME
00:18:55.13\00:18:56.80
THINK ABOUT WHEN I REFLECT
ON SOMETHING THAT I WOULD
00:18:56.80\00:18:57.86
CONSIDER PEACE I THINK
USUALLY OF SIMPLIER TIMES.
00:18:57.86\00:19:05.53
WHEN I WAS A CHILD I KNEW
THAT MY PARENTS WERE GOING
00:19:05.53\00:19:11.90
TO TAKE CARE OF MY
NEEDS, I DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY
00:19:11.90\00:19:12.90
ABOUT GETTING OUT THERE
AND FILLING THE GAS TANK
00:19:12.90\00:19:17.10
LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT,
OR MAKING SURE THAT THIS OR
00:19:17.10\00:19:21.36
THAT OR WHATEVER. AND
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT
00:19:21.36\00:19:22.36
THAT THE OTHER DAY,
I SAW A CHILD.>>BILL:

WOW, WHAT A, IN A GOOD
RELATIONSHIP, WHAT A LEVEL
00:19:29.06\00:19:32.86
OF PEACE THERE IS THERE
NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT

STUFF. KNOWING IT'S
TAKEN CARE OF. >>BILL: YOU'RE
00:19:37.03\00:19:38.06
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I
THINK THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT
00:19:38.06\00:19:40.93
POINT. I SAY TO MY
WIFE SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW
00:19:40.93\00:19:43.70
MUCH TIME MY KIDS
SPEND WORRYING ABOUT IF WHEN
00:19:43.70\00:19:44.70
THEY FLICK THE SWITCH
THE POWER'S GOING TO COME
00:19:44.70\00:19:49.66
ON.>>PASTOR PALMER: RIGHT.
00:19:49.66\00:19:50.20
>>BILL:.THE LIGHT'S
GOING TO COME ON. >>PASTOR
00:19:50.20\00:19:52.06
PALMER: THEY NEVER
THINK ABOUT IT. >>BILL: THEY
00:19:52.06\00:19:53.70
NEVER THINK ABOUT IT. WHY?
00:19:53.70\00:19:54.36
BECAUSE THEY HAVE A MOM
AND A DAD WHO THINKS ABOUT
00:19:54.36\00:19:56.30
THAT.>>PASTOR JOHNSON:
THAT'S RIGHT. >>BILL:.WHO
00:19:56.30\00:19:57.43
LOOKS AFTER THAT? WE
HAVE A LOVING, HEAVENLY
00:19:57.43\00:19:59.33
FATHER WHO LOOKS AFTER
US PASTOR, WE'RE COMING DOWN
00:19:59.33\00:20:03.33
TO THE END. WE'VE GOT
ABOUT A COUPLE MINUTES
00:20:03.33\00:20:04.46
SOME CLOSING
THOUGHTS, MAYBE, THAT YOU HAVE,
00:20:04.46\00:20:06.10
SHARE WITH FOLKS, I
MEAN, PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING
00:20:06.10\00:20:12.26
FOR THAT PEACE RIGHT
NOW. >>PASTOR PALMER: YOU
00:20:12.26\00:20:13.33
SEE, IN ABOUT 2002
THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:20:13.33\00:20:17.30
CHURCH MADE A STATEMENT
ON PEACE. THE CHURCH SAID
00:20:17.30\00:20:20.80
THAT THERE ARE FOUR
ELEMENTS THAT ARE CRITICAL
00:20:20.80\00:20:21.80
TO PEACE; ONE IS
DIALOGUE, NUMBER TWO IS JUSTICE,
00:20:21.80\00:20:26.20
NUMBER THREE
FORGIVENESS, AND NUMBER FOUR
00:20:26.20\00:20:30.30
RECONCILIATION. WE HAVE
TO UNDERSTAND EVEN WITH THE
00:20:30.30\00:20:31.33
FRUIT OF THE
SPIRIT IT IS CRITICAL THAT
00:20:31.33\00:20:36.13
WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE ALL
INTERCONNECTED. YOU CAN'T
00:20:36.13\00:20:39.13
HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE
OTHER. AND SO IN ORDER FOR
00:20:39.13\00:20:40.13
YOU TO GET PEACE YOU
MUST SHOW LOVE AND THAT COMES
00:20:40.13\00:20:44.43
FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT'S
PRESENCE IN YOUR LIFE. IF
00:20:44.43\00:20:48.50
YOU INVITE HIM IN AND
ACCEPT HIM, HE WILL COME
00:20:48.50\00:20:49.46
IN. AND YOU CAN FIND
AND HAVE THAT TRUE PEACE
00:20:49.46\00:20:54.16
THAT THE WORLD CRAVES
BUT IT'S ONLY FOUND IN JESUS
00:20:54.16\00:20:56.40
CHRIST. >>BILL: THE
PEACE THAT I GIVE YOU JESUS,
00:20:56.40\00:20:57.40
THAT'S THE ONE, THAT'S
THE ONE WE NEED. YOU KNOW,
00:20:57.40\00:21:01.73
IN 1555, NICHOLAS
RIDLEY WAS BURNED AT THE STAKE
00:21:01.73\00:21:09.33
BECAUSE OF HIS WITNESS
FOR CHRIST. ON THE NIGHT
00:21:09.33\00:21:10.30
BEFORE RIDLEY'S
EXECUTION HIS BROTHER OFFERED TO
00:21:10.30\00:21:16.46
REMAIN WITH HIM IN
THAT PRISON CHAMBER TO BE OF
00:21:16.46\00:21:21.00
ASSISTANCE AND OF
COMFORT TO HIM. RIDLEY DECLINED
00:21:21.00\00:21:22.13
THE OFFER AND REPLIED
THAT HE MEANT TO GO TO BED
00:21:22.13\00:21:26.26
AND SLEEP AS QUIETLY
AS HE EVER DID IN HIS LIFE
00:21:26.26\00:21:32.46
BECAUSE HE KNEW THE
PEACE OF GOD. HE KNEW HE COULD
00:21:32.46\00:21:33.46
REST IN THE STRENGTH
OF THE EVERLASTING ARMS OF
00:21:33.46\00:21:37.86
HIS LORD AND THAT HIS
LORD WOULD MEET ALL HIS NEEDS.
00:21:37.86\00:21:44.13
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, SO
CAN WE. PASTOR PALMER, WOULD
00:21:44.13\00:21:45.13
YOU PLEASE PRAY WITH OUR
VIEWERS. >>PASTOR PALMER:
00:21:45.13\00:21:49.46
LET US PRAY.
HEAVENLY FATHER, WE ARE SO
00:21:49.46\00:21:52.70
THANKFUL, VERY GRATEFUL
FOR THE PROMISES YOU HAVE
00:21:52.70\00:21:53.73
GIVEN US IN YOUR WORD.
WE THANK YOU FOR THE FACT
00:21:53.73\00:21:58.06
THAT WE CAN FIND PEACE
IN YOU. I PRAY LORD FOR OUR
00:21:58.06\00:22:03.26
VIEWERS. I PRAY FOR THE
TELECAST, MAY IT CONTINUE
00:22:03.26\00:22:04.30
TO BLESS. MAY IT
CONTINUE TO DIRECT. AND MAY MOST
00:22:04.30\00:22:07.93
OF ALL LORD YOU GRANT US
THAT PEACE THAT PASSES ALL
00:22:07.93\00:22:12.96
UNDERSTANDING. IN
YOUR SON'S NAME WE PRAY.
00:22:12.96\00:22:13.90
AMEN >>BILL: AMEN.
00:22:13.90\00:22:18.80
(MUSIC)
00:22:19.60\00:22:32.40
(MUSIC)
00:22:36.70\00:22:52.13
>>BEV: HI EVERYONE!
ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE
00:22:52.73\00:22:53.76
WHO SPRINKLES ADDITIONAL
SALT ON THEIR FOOD BEFORE
00:22:53.76\00:22:56.33
EVEN TASTING IT? FOR
VARIOUS HEALTH REASONS,
00:22:56.33\00:22:59.33
IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO
LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF SALT - AND
00:22:59.33\00:23:00.40
THUS SODIUM - WE
CONSUME EVERY DAY. SODIUM IS A
00:23:00.40\00:23:07.16
PART OF SALT, BUT IT'S
ALSO FOUND NATURALLY IN
00:23:07.16\00:23:10.46
VEGETABLES AND FRUITS.
00:23:10.46\00:23:10.96
SODIUM IS A SUBSTANCE
OUR BODIES NEED FOR OPTIMAL
00:23:10.96\00:23:14.60
PERFORMANCE. AMONG
OTHER THINGS, IT'S NEEDED TO
00:23:14.60\00:23:15.56
MAINTAIN BLOOD
PRESSURE AND FLUID LEVELS IN
00:23:15.56\00:23:20.40
OUR BODIES. BUT MOST OF
US CONSUME WAY TOO MANY SALTY
00:23:20.40\00:23:25.56
FOODS AND THE INCREASED
SODIUM WREAKS HAVOC IN OUR
00:23:25.56\00:23:26.63
BODIES. ON A DAILY
BASIS WE NEED LESS THAN HALF
00:23:26.63\00:23:32.80
A GRAM OR ONE-FIFTH OF
A TEASPOON OF SALT TO GET
00:23:32.80\00:23:37.06
ALL THE SODIUM OUR
BODIES REQUIRE. HOWEVER, MOST
00:23:37.06\00:23:38.20
NORTH AMERICANS CONSUME
10 TO 20 TIMES MORE SALT THAN
00:23:38.20\00:23:43.80
WE ACTUALLY NEED. HIGH
BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEART
00:23:43.80\00:23:49.43
FAILURE ARE JUST TWO OF
THE UNFORTUNATE RESULTS OF
00:23:49.43\00:23:50.50
EVERY DAY EATING THAT
IS HIGH IN SODIUM. SOME
00:23:50.50\00:23:54.93
OF OUR FAVOURITE FOODS
ARE LOADED WITH SODIUM.
00:23:54.93\00:23:58.23
CONSIDER THESE: SEVEN
OUNCES OF POTATO CHIPS HAS
00:23:58.23\00:23:59.26
ñ3500MG OF SODIUM. HALF
A CUP OF TOMATO SAUCE HAS
00:23:59.26\00:24:06.86
ñ1950MG OF SODIUM. TWO
SLICES OF REGULAR CHEESE
00:24:06.86\00:24:11.96
HAVE ñ2,050 MG OF SODIUM.
00:24:11.96\00:24:12.50
HALF A CUP OF CANNED
TOMATO SUP HAS ñ2200MG OF
00:24:12.50\00:24:17.13
SODIUM. REMEMBER, YOUR
BODY NEEDS LESS THAN 500MG
00:24:17.13\00:24:18.16
PER DAY! SO, HOW CAN
YOU DECREASE YOUR INTAKE
00:24:18.16\00:24:27.66
OF SODIUM? FIRST OF ALL,
BECOME A LABEL READER AND
00:24:27.66\00:24:34.16
SELECT PRODUCTS THAT
ARE LOW IN SODIUM! LOOK
00:24:34.16\00:24:35.13
FOR WORDS LIKE "SALT",
"SODIUM" AND "SODA" ON THE
00:24:35.13\00:24:38.76
LABEL. TRY NOT TO PURCHASE
TOO MANY PROCESSED FOODS.
00:24:38.76\00:24:43.76
THE MORE PROCESSED THEY
ARE, THE MORE SODIUM THEY
00:24:43.76\00:24:44.80
ARE LIKELY TO
HAVE. STOCK UP ON FRUITS
00:24:44.80\00:24:48.66
AND VEGETABLES. THESE
HAVE NATURALLY OCCURRING SODIUM
00:24:48.66\00:24:53.70
BUT IN SMALL AMOUNTS
THAT YOUR BODY CAN HANDLE AND
00:24:53.70\00:24:54.70
MAKE USE OF. DO MORE OF
YOUR COOKING FROM SCRATCH.
00:24:54.70\00:25:00.40
THAT WAY YOU CONTROL
THE INGREDIENTS, ESPECIALLY
00:25:00.40\00:25:05.20
THE SALT. HAPPY
COOKING, EVERYONE! AND, PUT DOWN
00:25:05.20\00:25:06.20
THAT SALT SHAKER.
I'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
