00:01 >>Bill: According to a traditional Hebrew story,
00:02 Abraham was sitting outside his tent one
00:05 evening when he saw an old man, weary from age and
00:08 journey, coming toward him. Abraham rushed out,
00:09 greeted him, and then invited him into his tent.
00:14 There he washed the old man's feet and gave him
00:18 food and drink. The old man immediately began
00:19 eating without saying any prayer or blessing. So
00:24 Abraham asked him, "Don't you worship God?" The old
00:30 traveler replied, "I worship fire only and
00:31 reverence no other god."
00:36 When he heard this, Abraham became incensed,
00:37 grabbed the old man by the shoulders, and threw him
00:40 out his tent into the cold night air. When the old
00:44 man had departed, God called to his friend
00:45 Abraham and asked where the stranger was. Abraham
00:49 replied, "I forced him out because he did not worship
00:53 you." God answered, "I have suffered him these
00:54 eighty years although he dishonors me. Could you
00:59 not endure him one night?"

01:18 GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE.
01:20 STILL RELEVANT IN TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD.

01:32 (MUSIC)
01:49 The Greek word translated as patience, is a compound
01:51 word consisting of makros (long or big) and thumia
01:55 (temper). Thus, it literally means having a
01:57 "long fuse" as opposed to being short/quick
01:58 tempered. It seems patience is needed most
02:00 when the Christian feels least like exercising it.
02:06 According to W. Hermann, in his is greatest need
02:07 for patience is at the low point of his spiritual
02:11 life when he "clings to God, yet does not feel the
02:15 assurance that God is near him." Patience is the
02:16 tenacity with which the Christian's faith holds to
02:21 the promises of God even though he may feel much
02:25 more like the conquered, instead of the conqueror.
02:33 We are continuing our journey through "The Fruit
02:34 of the Spirit" our study in Galatians Chapter
02:39 5, verses 22 and 23 and I want to welcome all of our
02:43 viewers to this week's "It Is Written" program
02:44 Joining me here on the set, I have two special
02:47 guests. I have Dr.
02:48 Mansfield Edwards, Doctor welcome. >>Dr. Edwards:
02:52 Thank you. >>Bill: And Pastor Campbell Page,
02:54 Pastor, welcome also.
02:55 >>Pastor Page: Thank you.
02:55 >>Bill: Dr. Edwards, maybe we can start with you. For
02:58 the benefit of our viewers that may not know you,
03:03 some of them may be watching say I recognize
03:04 that man. That's because you had a television
03:06 program. I don't know if you still have it. >>Dr.
03:09 Edwards: No. I handed that program over to new
03:10 presenters a few months ago, about two and a
03:14 half months ago. That's the "Discover the Power"
03:18 program that was on Vision TV for.>>Bill: Yes. >> Dr.
03:19 Edwards:. five and a half years. >>Bill: For many
03:22 years. So, some of our viewers may be saying, I
03:24 recognize him. >>Dr.
03:24 Edwards: Maybe looking a little older now. >>Bill:
03:26 And Dr. Edwards, you are now the President of the
03:27 Seventh-Day Adventist Church for the Province
03:32 of Ontario. >>Dr. Edwards: Yes, I am. >>Bill: And so,
03:35 God has used you in a capacity to administer
03:36 work of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. How's
03:42 that going? >>Dr. Edwards: It's going well. God has
03:44 been kind. He has promised to bear us up each day and
03:45 he has been faithful to that. We have the
03:50 tremendous prayers of our 30,000 members throughout
03:54 Ontario and our faithful church members have been
03:55 tremendously supportive.
04:00 So, it has been going well. Praise God. >>Bill:
04:01 Well, we appreciate you taking time from your busy
04:05 schedule to be here with us. >>Dr. Edwards: It's my
04:07 joy to be here. >>Bill: Pastor Campbell Page, tell
04:08 us a bit about you and where you serve right
04:11 now? >>Pastor Campbell: I pastor the New Life
04:14 Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Oshawa, Ontario
04:15 It's in our downtown core.
04:17 We have a lot of economically depressed
04:18 people in the area, a lot of people on welfare,
04:24 a lot of addictions, so we're very much trying to
04:28 reach out to them and just, kind of, get out of
04:29 church and get into the community and make some
04:33 transformational changes there, if we can. >>Bill:
04:36 Is there a website for the church? >>Pastor Page:
04:37 Yes. We're.it's just brand new,
04:40 newlifeadventistchurch.com . >>Bill:
04:44 Newlifeadventistchurch.com . There they
04:45 can find out when you guys meet.>>Pastor Page: Yes.
04:47 All that stuff and some of the new things we're
04:50 trying to do. >>Bill: Wonderful. Well, thank
04:51 you. And thank you, too, for accepting
04:53 our invitation here. So, we've been making our way
04:58 through the fruit of the spirit, those external
04:59 attributes that manifest themselves when something
05:03 has happened on the inside. And, boy, I'll
05:08 tell you, this is one.Patience. I have to
05:09 confess I'm not always as patient as I should be.
05:16 It's interesting, I noted that in the introduction
05:24 there, that it's at the time that we least feel
05:25 like exercising patience is probably the time
05:32 that we most need to be patient. What can you
05:36 gentlemen tell me.I know that you've been
05:37 researching this and we're anxious to hear
05:42 your pearls of wisdom on patience. >>Dr. Edwards:
05:45 Well, you know, I'd agree with you. Patience is
05:46 a scarce commodity these days. >>Bill: It is, isn't
05:51 it? >>Dr. Edwards: Truly scarce commodity. And the
05:54 way our culture has been transitioning, patience
05:55 is not something that is being encouraged
05:59 or fostered. >>Bill: True.
06:00 >>Dr. Edwards: It's a kind of instant
06:03 gratification.>>Bill Absolutely. >>Dr.
06:06 Edwards:.that we aim for. A kind of an instant
06:07 syndrome that has set in.
06:09 So, people have moved now from just instant coffee
06:11 to instant meals and the drive thru and, you know,
06:15 just as instantly, instant mail. Snail mail has no
06:21 popularity anymore.
06:21 >>Bill: That's right.
06:22 >>Dr. Edwards: Emails handle this thing. We just
06:25 do it, press send and it's gone without envelope or
06:28 stamp. So this instant gratification has been a
06:29 part of our culture, so much so that you know
06:34 road rage is on the rise because people are just
06:39 not patient. So, this is a challenge and this is
06:40 something significant. The Bible is speaking to
06:46 it and I think it is tremendously important
06:49 that you have drawn us to bring attention to this
06:50 fact at this time. >>Bill: You're right. I'll tell
06:56 you, I do the bulk of my banking on-line today
07:02 because I don't always have the patience to sit
07:03 and wait in line. Now, okay, I think it's a good
07:09 thing, patience but is it really the work of the
07:17 Holy Spirit. I mean, patience, is that? I mean,
07:18 compared to me, you know when you think of
07:24 love; you know, peace, yeah, absolutely. I can
07:29 understand that but patience? Wow, is that on
07:30 the same level as love and peace and kindness? And if
07:33 somebody isn't patient how does that manifest itself
07:42 and how does that, how does me not being patient
07:43 impact on my neighbour or my family? >>Pastor
07:47 Page: I think that it's important, Bill, to, to
07:52 remember that it's not just the work of the
07:53 Holy Spirit. This is a description of
07:57 the character of the Holy Spirit. So, we can say God
08:03 is patient and us getting that, getting his presence
08:04 within us automatically places patience within us.
08:11 It's almost a matter of us stepping out of the way so
08:17 that that can start working through our lives
08:18 I find it's important to almost practice patience.
08:24 I often tell people I try practicing because I, like
08:29 both of you, struggle with patience myself that
08:30 I find places where it's, it's maybe not so crucial
08:34 to be patient. Where I can, I take a longer, pick
08:41 one of the longer lines at the grocery store just for
08:42 the sake of practicing, you know, not being, not
08:46 worrying about deadlines, stuff like that. But just
08:50 take that time, maybe to just spend some time with
08:51 God and let the patience come so that when it does
08:55 become very important, those more crucial places,
09:00 it's more of a habit almost, that I've started
09:01 forming. >>Bill: So, there's things that we
09:04 can be doing to put this actually, to practice
09:06 this. >>Pastor Page: think so, yeah. >>Bill:
09:07 It's not, you know, just sit back and I'm going to
09:10 sit back and let the Holy Spirit do it. I have an
09:14 opportunity to practice at this a little bit of this,
09:15 right? And try to be more patient. >>Pastor Page:
09:20 Maybe part of the working out of our own salvation,
09:24 those efforts we make, not to earn anything but to
09:25 join God in the process.
09:29 >>Dr. Edwards: I think it's also interesting
09:30 that, as we read through Galatians 5, verses 16 to
09:35 21 talks about the works of the flesh. >>Bill: Yes.
09:39 >>Dr. Edwards: Talks about those things that we do
09:41 for ourselves in terms of our natural
09:44 inclinations.>>Bill: Yes.
09:44 >>Dr. Edwards:.and we're just, I think that
09:48 clarifies that we're just not naturally inclined to
09:51 be patient. So, we need that help and that help
09:52 must come from outside of ourselves. It's just not a
09:58 genetic transference here This is the work of God in
10:04 us. Now, some folk may feel, hey, I'm not as
10:05 patient as my brother.
10:12 Does that mean that God is working with him.>>Bill
10:13 More than me? >>Dr.
10:15 Edwards:.more than He is working with me? But
10:16 I like the analogy, the agricultural analogy
10:20 of the Fruit, you know Fruits are at different
10:23 stages.>>Bill: Sure. >>Dr.
10:24 Edwards:.and even within the Fruit itself, of these
10:27 nine ingredients that constitute this Fruit,
10:28 an individual may be more advanced in a particular
10:34 area and less in another area. But God is working
10:39 with us to develop all these areas and its God's
10:40 purpose that we should really mature, mature
10:43 in Him. So, what Campbell referred to is important.
10:49 It's important that we participate in the
10:50 process. >>Pastor Page: Yes. >>Dr. Edwards:
10:54 Participate in the process as we cooperate in the
10:56 working of God's spirit and hence, our patience
10:57 will grow as we cooperate with him. >>Bill: You
11:01 know, Cam, Pastor Cam, sorry.>>Pastor Page:
11:07 That's okay. >>Bill: its okay, Pastor Cam or Pastor
11:08 Page? >>Pastor Page: That's fine. >>Bill: We're
11:10 friends. So, I apologize.
11:11 Sometimes we shift into more familial expressions
11:13 but, you know, you said something interesting that
11:20 God, this is part of the Holy Spirit's character
11:21 He's patient. God is patient with me. If God is
11:28 so patient with me, boy, I don't deserve God's of me.
11:38 Maybe I need to be doing a better job of passing on
11:39 that patience to my fellow man, to my children,
11:43 to my spouse, you know, to my neighbours. But it is a
11:48 struggle, isn't it Pastor?
11:49 You mentioned that. It's not something that comes
11:52 naturally to us. Any advice you would give to
11:53 someone watching us today and saying, listen that's
12:00 just something I wrestle with. I have a short fuse,
12:05 I have a quick temper.
12:05 And you do that enough it costs you in your
12:11 relationships, right?
12:11 It's going to play out and damage relationships. Any
12:15 advice that you would give to someone that is
12:16 wrestling with that, right now, that's sitting at
12:19 home watching us. >>Dr.
12:20 Edwards: My first advice would be, don't
12:23 be discouraged. Take hope because God is willing to
12:28 work with us. There is a difference between the
12:29 works of the flesh and an obvious difference between
12:34 that and the fruit of the spirit. The Fruit of the
12:39 Spirit is that which is God's initiative and that
12:40 which God is willing to do in us and for us. So, it's
12:45 important that we allow God that time to work.
12:51 It's important that we be willing to allow Him to
12:52 work. If I may quote from the most published and the
12:57 most translated, female, non-fiction author in
13:04 North America, her name is Ellen G. White, says
13:05 that "Transformation of character is wrought
13:11 through the transformation of the Holy Spirit upon
13:17 the human agent, implanting in him
13:18 according to his desire to have it done,
13:22 a new nature". The whole composite of the Fruit of
13:29 the Spirit is the work of the Spirit but it must
13:30 begin with our desire to have it done. >>Bill:
13:35 see. >>Dr. Edwards: So my strong word of
13:40 encouragement is one, don't be discouraged
13:41 Number two; preserve that desire to have it done.
13:45 >>Bill: So by someone recognizing the need for
13:50 that, that would be, almost, a first step.>>Dr.
13:51 Edwards: That's right.
13:56 >>Bill:.in, towards this. >>Pastor Page: Can
13:57 I, I would add to that I totally agree to again,
14:00 this is God's character, we want that represented
14:07 in us. So sometimes instead of chasing after
14:08 the patience, chase after God. Seek after Him,
14:12 get to know Him and in that process of that
14:18 relationship He gives you opportunities to practice
14:19 patience and assures you that His presence,
14:23 His spirit is there giving that supernatural power to
14:28 it as well. >>Bill: Go ahead. >>Dr. Edwards: It
14:29 just connected with my own cultural background. I'm
14:35 from a tropical island so, of course, fruits are
14:39 always around. I had in my own yard a lot of mango
14:41 trees. I'm starting to salivate. (laughter) But
14:45 the mango trees, I noticed something that concurs
14:51 with what Pastor Page just said. Those mangoes,
14:52 the section of the mangoes that was more exposed
15:00 to the sunlight than the other seemed to be more
15:04 mellow, by extension, matured a little more
15:05 readily than the other section that was unexposed
15:12 and was sweeter, more delicious. I'm salivating
15:17 but understand, yes. And I think that this whole
15:18 parallel that God draws on and Paul through the
15:23 inspiration of the Spirit pulls on this agricultural
15:27 reference, I think it is significant that we, as
15:28 Pastor Page eludes should allow ourselves to be more
15:35 exposed to God's influence through His word as His
15:41 spirit leads us so that we can have that maturity
15:42 growing in us and these various attributes.
15:49 >>Bill: Now, we all face situations that are trying
15:55 situations. >>Dr. Edwards: Yeah. >>Bill: Any advice
15:56 you can give to someone watching that says,
15:59 listen, but, you know, what do I do at that
16:03 moment that I'm in the bank and someone cuts in
16:04 front of me or, you know, I seem to always get
16:06 the grocery line - I never pick the longest one but I
16:10 always end up getting the one that, you know, they
16:11 run out of the ribbon. You know, when it's my turn
16:14 and then they've got to go get the ribbon and then
16:17 they can't find it and then the young lady
16:18 doesn't know exactly how to put it into the
16:20 machine. Alright? What do you do, how do you, like
16:22 in those moments, how do I, you know, what advice
16:23 would you give someone in that moment because what
16:29 you want to do is - the last thing you want to do
16:33 is exercise patience there. You know, you, I'm
16:34 thinking, I'm busy, I'm a busy person, why did
16:38 I pick this line? Why?
16:38 Right? What advice do you give somebody in that
16:44 particular situation? What can you do to demonstrate
16:47 that kind of patience?
16:48 >>Pastor Page: I would say, I guess, plan
16:53 beforehand. Those times are going to come and
16:54 maybe coming into that situation, a little bigger
17:02 picture in mind, that I'm not quite so important as
17:09 I think I am and just looking for these trials
17:09 and inconveniences that we face, maybe these
17:16 opportunities. You know, again, Paul in Galatians,
17:21 he comes across and says all the stuff is so
17:22 that we can better serve others. He's speaking
17:27 against the selfishness of this group of people and
17:30 in saying, all of this fruit of the spirit,
17:31 walking with the spirit is to turn around and serve
17:35 others so that they see God's patience through us.
17:40 They see what I think the world today is wanting to
17:41 see is this true picture of Jesus and God,
17:46 the father, and what that really looks like. And if
17:50 you can come into situations wanting that;
17:51 still going to mess up; that's the appropriate
17:55 time for forgiveness and trying again next time.
18:01 Training yourself, almost, to look at it this way
18:02 >>Bill: Well, one of our previous broadcasts, Dr.
18:05 Lawrence, when we spoke about joy, he defined it
18:11 as, "Jesus, J-O-Y, right?
18:11 Jesus at the beginning.
18:12 Yourself at the end. And others in between, right?
18:19 J-O-Y. I think that's exactly what you're
18:23 saying. I think sometimes we forget - I think
18:24 you made a very important point here that these
18:27 manifestations of the work of the Spirit is so that
18:31 we can best serve others and so that others can
18:32 see Jesus in me. You know, every time I leave my
18:38 house, particularly if I'm going to the bank or
18:42 grocerstore, my wife will always pull me aside
18:43 and she'll say, "Bill, you remember, people watch you
18:47 on television". (laughter) >>Dr. Edwards: That helps
18:51 with your patience.
18:51 >>Bill: Every time. It is a powerful reminder that
18:57 we do have an obligation to others, don't we? I
18:58 mean, as Christians. As followers of Jesus Christ
19:02 to demonstrate to them in our lives, what it means
19:07 to be a follower of Jesus Christ. >>Dr. Edwards:
19:08 Sure. There is, there is a basic philosophy, I think,
19:12 would be nice for folks to embrace and keep their
19:17 eyes open to. Nothing in life, nothing in life
19:18 happens and should pass without some meaning and
19:25 some benefit to us. The Biblical philosophy with
19:33 regards to trials and trouble is that, trouble
19:34 may be bad to you but not necessarily bad for you.
19:38 >>Bill: Yes. >>Pastor Page: Very true. >>Dr.
19:43 Edwards: The Bible says that trials work at
19:44 patience and patience work at hope. So, there are
19:46 benefits from these experiences. Just this
19:52 week we had at the office, the completion of our
19:53 external auditors work and then we had an exit
19:58 interview with the auditor. And she was
20:02 sharing that she went to this drive-thru to get a
20:03 quick meal and someone cut in right before her and
20:13 she was upset. That cut across the grain of her
20:17 patience and she was really upset. She was
20:17 fuming. And when she got, finally, to the window to
20:23 place her order, and got her order and was about to
20:28 pay they told her, the lady before you paid for
20:29 you. Wow. >>Bill: Wow.
20:34 >>Dr. Edwards: Then she said, here, here I was
20:35 fuming but here is an opportunity, here is
20:38 a blessing that came out of a trial and a test and
20:44 what seemed to be an inconvenience and that had
20:45 my patience on the edge.
20:49 But if I had only waited, I would have seen. And now
20:51 have come to realize and experience my blessing.
20:57 >>Bill: Next time I get into that line and that
21:00 ribbon runs out.>>Dr.
21:01 Edwards: Yes. >>Bill:.I need to look at it as the
21:03 Lord is using this as a teaching experience for
21:04 me. >>Dr. Edwards: Yes.
21:06 For you to greet the person behind you and to
21:07 let them know how you're modelling the patience
21:10 for them to model, if that happens to them. >>Bill: I
21:14 think it's a very powerful point, isn't it? That God
21:16 uses these experiences to teach us, to train
21:20 us, right? Allow us the opportunity to exercise
21:23 this patience muscle.
21:23 >>Dr. Edwards: That's right. >>Bill: This is,
21:26 that's wonderful.
21:26 You know, you guys have prepared some stuff. If
21:30 there's something that you think would be important
21:32 for our, you know, for our viewers to hear, don't
21:36 hesitate to, you know, to put that out and so that
21:41 we hit some of these key points. I love the
21:41 discussion around the practical, you know,
21:47 applications of these, of the behaviours and, you
21:52 know, as I read through these I always ask myself
21:53 the question: If all of those that claim to be
21:57 followers of Jesus Christ exercised it, how would
22:00 our world be different?
22:01 And how much easier would it be to present to others
22:06 about Jesus Christ. We've got about three minutes
22:07 left. Are there some closing comments from both
22:10 of you that you would like to share with our viewers
22:15 today? >>Pastor Page: ask myself, one of
22:16 my teachers gave this question and it's one
22:21 I've carried with me and I often bring it to the
22:30 fruit of the Spirit here and it's, are you happy
22:31 with the person you're becoming? And I often
22:33 look at that and reflect on that as often as I can,
22:39 bringing it back to things like patience because
22:40 it is one that I struggle with. Just making an
22:44 intentional decision that if I'm not happy with
22:51 patience or my lack of it in my life, then there
22:52 are things that I can do.
22:58 There are ways where I interact with God where I
22:59 can turn that over to Him and let his Spirit start
23:04 working. But it takes intentionality. It's
23:08 little steps, you know, don't try and have the
23:09 patience in the worst possible time. Do it
23:14 in those off the spot kind of places where it doesn't
23:19 matter quite as much and it will come. Just give
23:20 it time and keep praying.
23:25 Keep talking to God about it. >>Dr. Edwards: I think
23:26 also that patience is so vital because impatience
23:33 triggers anger. And anger is a negative emotion that
23:38 is so bad for the health.
23:38 And the Devil wants to get us there. >>Bill: True.
23:45 >>Dr. Edwards: As a matter of a fact, he creates
23:46 problems so that we may get to that
23:49 place. In fact, the word 'adversary' is translated
23:53 'distresser'.
23:54 So the Devil's roll is to distress us, frustrate us,
24:00 make, keep us impatient and trigger the anger that
24:01 is such a negative emotion that breaks us down
24:06 physically and otherwise But the patience, that
24:10 fruit of the Spirit is such a wonderful thing
24:11 We've got to therefore bear in mind patience must
24:17 be directional. I must be patient with myself. Some
24:25 folk are impatient with themselves and drive
24:26 themselves to the place of suicide, to the point
24:30 of suicide. >>Bill: Yes.
24:31 >>Dr. Edwards: We've got to be patient with others
24:34 and it is just the love of God acting out itself as
24:37 we relate to others, God's children but most of
24:38 all it's important to be patient as we wait upon
24:42 the Lord. Because those who wait upon the Lord
24:46 shall be renewed, that's the present. So
24:47 - the promise. So, it is important that we wait on
24:51 God even as he works in us willing to do his good
24:55 pleasure. >>Bill: Gentlemen, thank you very
24:56 much for your thoughts.
25:01 >>Dr. Edwards: Thank you. >>Bill: You know, in
25:02 writing to Timothy, Paul tells him how he had
25:05 blasphemed the Saviour and persecuted his followers.
25:11 Indeed he claimed to be the Chief of Sinners but
25:12 Jesus was patient. He waited until Saul was
25:18 ready to say, I surrender, I surrender it all. Our
25:22 gracious God is so loving and so patient. How can we
25:23 speak of His patience and our patience at the
25:30 same time? That's because He's the source. We don't
25:36 develop patience. He grows it within the trusting and
25:37 obedient heart. It's the Fruit of his Spirit
25:42 working within each of us Pastor Page would you pray
25:49 with our viewers? >>Pastor Page: Yes. Heavenly
25:50 Father, we thank you so much that as high a
25:54 standard as you ask of us and such a great level of
26:01 obedience you require of us that it is through your
26:02 very presence that it's accomplished. There's
26:07 nothing that we can do on our own. Is simply, Lord,
26:10 as we enter into a relationship with you
26:11 and make that effort of joining with you that
26:15 you work out things like giving us patience in
26:17 those times that it's so desperately needed. I
26:18 just pray, Lord, for our viewers that little
26:22 by little you will work in their lives. You will help
26:27 them with the patience, the love, the joy, the
26:29 peace, all the fruit that they are looking for in
26:32 their lives, from your presence. And that they
26:35 would, they would be able to, Lord, show others how
26:36 great and awesome you are through how that's
26:42 exercised in their lives We thank you. We pray in
26:45 Jesus' name. Amen.
26:46 >>Bill: Amen.

26:52 understanding of God's word, a great resource to
