Praise God, from
whom all blessings flow
00:00:41.89\00:00:47.43
Praise Him, all
creatures here below

Alleluia! Alleluia!
00:00:52.51\00:00:58.47
Praise Him
above, ye heavenly host
00:00:58.50\00:01:03.26
Praise Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost
00:01:03.29\00:01:08.76
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
00:01:08.79\00:01:13.89
Alleluia! Alleluia!
00:01:13.92\00:01:18.96
Alleluia!
00:01:18.99\00:01:25.43
Holy Father, on this
first Sabbath of 2007
00:01:31.15\00:01:35.20
with Moses we too pray.
00:01:35.23\00:01:38.73
Lord, you've been our dwelling
place in all generations.
00:01:38.76\00:01:42.29
Before the
mountains were brought forth
00:01:42.32\00:01:43.93
or ever You had formed
the earth and the world
00:01:43.96\00:01:46.85
even from everlasting
to everlasting You are God.
00:01:46.88\00:01:52.06
For a thousand years in
Your side are like yesterday
00:01:52.09\00:01:54.43
when it is passed
like a watch in the night.
00:01:54.46\00:02:00.06
Oh, God, our help
00:02:00.09\00:02:01.82
and ages passed our
hope for years to come
00:02:01.85\00:02:04.57
teach us we pray
even as we worship You
00:02:04.60\00:02:07.91
in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ
00:02:07.94\00:02:09.80
teach us to number our days
00:02:09.83\00:02:13.31
that we may gain
our heart of wisdom.
00:02:13.34\00:02:16.72
Amen.
00:02:16.75\00:02:18.18
O God, our help in ages past
00:02:55.71\00:03:02.25
Our hope for years to come
00:03:02.28\00:03:07.79
Our shelter
from the stormy blast
00:03:07.82\00:03:13.79
And our eternal home!
00:03:13.82\00:03:21.71
Under the shadow of Thy throne
00:03:21.74\00:03:27.47
Still may we dwell secure
00:03:27.50\00:03:32.70
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
00:03:32.73\00:03:38.89
And our defense is sure
00:03:38.92\00:03:45.98
Before the hills in order stood
00:03:46.01\00:03:52.06
Or earth received her frame
00:03:52.09\00:03:57.26
From everlasting Thou art God
00:03:57.29\00:04:03.26
To endless years the same
00:04:03.29\00:04:11.26
A thousand ages, in thy sight
00:04:11.29\00:04:17.38
Are like an evening gone
00:04:17.41\00:04:22.87
Short as the watch
that ends the night
00:04:22.90\00:04:29.29
Before the rising sun
00:04:29.32\00:04:35.29
O God, our help in ages past
00:04:50.38\00:04:57.84
Our hope for years to come
00:04:57.87\00:05:04.06
Be Thou our guide
while life shall last
00:05:04.09\00:05:10.87
And our eternal home!
00:05:10.90\00:05:18.87
I am he that comforteth
00:05:27.29\00:05:33.24
Be not afraid, be not afraid
00:05:33.27\00:05:36.42
For I am thy God
00:05:36.45\00:05:39.98
I am he that comforteth
00:05:40.01\00:05:45.64
Be not afraid, be not afraid
00:05:45.67\00:05:48.77
For I am thy God
00:05:48.80\00:05:51.96
I will strengthen thee
00:05:51.99\00:05:55.54
Thy Lord will strengthen thee
00:05:55.57\00:06:02.33
For thy Lord
will strengthen thee
00:06:04.18\00:06:11.31
See and behold white cloud
00:06:11.34\00:06:15.48
See and behold white cloud
00:06:15.51\00:06:18.78
That thou art afraid
of a man that shall die
00:06:18.81\00:06:25.97
And forgettest the Lord
00:06:26.00\00:06:29.62
Thy Lord our maker
00:06:29.65\00:06:34.31
Who hath
stretched forth the heavens
00:06:34.34\00:06:41.81
And laid the earth's foundations
00:06:41.84\00:06:46.22
The earth's foundations
00:06:46.25\00:06:51.23
Saith the Lord God of hosts
00:06:51.26\00:06:57.57
All the people are called for to
00:06:57.60\00:07:04.23
Be not afraid, be not afraid
00:07:04.26\00:07:11.77
For I am thy God.
00:07:11.80\00:07:17.12
Be not afraid, be not afraid
00:07:17.15\00:07:23.49
For I am thy God
00:07:23.52\00:07:30.71
Be not afraid, be not afraid
00:07:30.74\00:07:38.53
For I am thy God
00:07:38.56\00:07:46.53
I will strengthen thee
00:07:48.19\00:07:55.93
Happy new year to you.
00:08:02.90\00:08:04.63
I have a story today
about a young man 19 years old.
00:08:04.66\00:08:08.65
Anybody here 19? 19 years old.
00:08:08.68\00:08:13.50
His name--Cameron
is his name, Cameron.
00:08:13.53\00:08:17.27
Let me just take
a little peek here
00:08:17.30\00:08:19.24
'cause this story happened
just a bit a few day ago
00:08:19.27\00:08:22.15
but let me get his last name
to make sure I had a Hollopeter.
00:08:22.18\00:08:25.95
Hollopeter as I-- I predict that
00:08:25.98\00:08:28.90
he pronounces it Hollopeter
from Littleton, Massachusetts.
00:08:28.93\00:08:32.66
All right,
Cameron, 19 years old.
00:08:32.69\00:08:35.75
Oh, Cameron says when I
grow up I want to be a film,
00:08:35.78\00:08:39.87
movie director, producer.
00:08:39.90\00:08:43.90
So he is living in Massachusetts
00:08:43.93\00:08:45.24
but he says I'm gonna go
to New York, the New York City
00:08:45.27\00:08:48.36
and I'm gonna go to
a special film school
00:08:48.39\00:08:51.06
so that's what he did.
00:08:51.09\00:08:53.24
And he is in New York City
00:08:53.27\00:08:55.01
and he says oh, I
need to go on the subway.
00:08:55.04\00:08:57.29
Now do you know
what a subway is?
00:08:57.32\00:08:58.87
What is a subway?
00:08:58.90\00:09:00.85
Yes, sir, what is a
subway? Train underground.
00:09:00.88\00:09:02.87
Train
underground, train underground.
00:09:02.90\00:09:04.33
You got it right.
Train underground.
00:09:04.36\00:09:07.41
When I was a boy
growing up in Tokyo
00:09:07.44\00:09:09.80
we used to take those
trains underground all the time.
00:09:09.83\00:09:12.86
So he said, I've got
to get on the subway.
00:09:12.89\00:09:15.71
So he went underground,
00:09:15.74\00:09:17.40
the stairs go down,
down, down, down, down, down
00:09:17.43\00:09:20.27
and you are underground.
00:09:20.30\00:09:21.71
And he is in the-- he
is at the train station
00:09:21.74\00:09:23.89
now he is on the platform,
00:09:23.92\00:09:25.39
he is walking down the platform
00:09:25.42\00:09:27.59
when--oh, I'm
sorry to report this.
00:09:27.62\00:09:29.97
When all of the sudden his body
began to experience something.
00:09:30.00\00:09:34.97
Oh, no not here.
00:09:35.00\00:09:38.12
But it was right
there, he began to have--
00:09:38.15\00:09:41.43
now this is
a--these are two big words,
00:09:41.46\00:09:43.57
an epileptic seizure.
00:09:43.60\00:09:47.47
That's where your body
begins to go into a seizure,
00:09:47.50\00:09:50.69
the muscles begin
to contract and expand
00:09:50.72\00:09:53.12
and you can't control it.
00:09:53.15\00:09:54.52
It just comes and
sometimes it just happens.
00:09:54.55\00:09:57.92
But you can take medicine for it
00:09:57.95\00:09:59.27
and doctors can
help you live through it.
00:09:59.30\00:10:01.38
But he started
having the seizure
00:10:01.41\00:10:04.20
and because the
muscles were now moving
00:10:04.23\00:10:06.33
and he couldn't control them
00:10:06.36\00:10:07.80
they were taking
him closer and closer
00:10:07.83\00:10:09.56
to the edge of the
track, edge of the platform
00:10:09.59\00:10:12.17
and before he knew it he had
fallen on to the subway tracks,
00:10:12.20\00:10:17.55
four feet down
below the platform.
00:10:17.58\00:10:20.60
And in the
distance there was the sound
00:10:20.63\00:10:24.73
of the rumbling New York subway.
00:10:24.76\00:10:28.52
It just so happened
at that split second.
00:10:28.55\00:10:32.57
There was the
father name Wesley Autrey
00:10:32.60\00:10:35.41
and his two
little girls of your age.
00:10:35.44\00:10:37.91
And the father was going--
00:10:37.94\00:10:39.17
it's holiday times
just a few days ago
00:10:39.20\00:10:40.87
and he was taking
his girls on the subway.
00:10:40.90\00:10:43.56
And as he was walking
with his girls down the track
00:10:43.59\00:10:47.70
he saw Cameron had the seizure
00:10:47.73\00:10:51.13
and fall down on to the track
00:10:51.16\00:10:53.85
and father Autrey
looked around and say,
00:10:53.88\00:10:56.48
okay, well, somebody is going
to do something now I'm sure,
00:10:56.51\00:10:59.33
'cause the subway is
coming, the boy will be killed
00:10:59.36\00:11:02.68
and everybody were
just, just frozen like this.
00:11:02.71\00:11:06.73
And suddenly father Wesley said,
00:11:06.76\00:11:09.77
if anybody is gonna do anything
it's gonna have to be me
00:11:09.80\00:11:13.14
and without thinking
he pushed his girls back
00:11:13.17\00:11:15.72
and he jumped down
the 4 feet on to the track
00:11:15.75\00:11:19.20
by the--19 years
old boy by his body
00:11:19.23\00:11:22.56
and he is saying, okay,
now the train is coming,
00:11:22.59\00:11:25.24
train is coming I've got
to get him up on that platform
00:11:25.27\00:11:28.85
and he start to lift that.
00:11:28.88\00:11:29.97
You know, 19
years old is pretty big.
00:11:30.00\00:11:32.15
So he started to
lift that 19 years old boy
00:11:32.18\00:11:33.99
and said, I'm gonna
get you up, four feet up.
00:11:34.02\00:11:35.89
I'm gonna get you up.
00:11:35.92\00:11:37.03
He realized I'll
never be able to get him
00:11:37.06\00:11:40.65
up on the platform on time
00:11:40.68\00:11:42.27
because now the
lights are shining
00:11:42.30\00:11:44.14
the train is coming
around the tunnel corner.
00:11:44.17\00:11:47.02
And he realized they both
be gone if he tries to wait.
00:11:47.05\00:11:51.60
He said, what am I gonna do
00:11:51.63\00:11:53.02
and in that split second
00:11:53.05\00:11:55.41
number two he
made another decision
00:11:55.44\00:11:57.70
and grab Cameron
and he throw him,
00:11:57.73\00:12:01.50
pushed him down between
the subway railway tracks,
00:12:01.53\00:12:07.49
those iron tracks that the
underground trains ride on,
00:12:07.52\00:12:10.00
between them is a trough,
00:12:10.03\00:12:12.49
it's a ditch where
water and cigarette buds
00:12:12.52\00:12:15.68
and gum wrappers are all thrown.
00:12:15.71\00:12:18.05
It's a ditch and
he said, this will--
00:12:18.08\00:12:20.43
I hope and pray this will work
00:12:20.46\00:12:22.50
as he shed Cameron
down into the ditch
00:12:22.53\00:12:25.86
and then he threw himself right
on top of that 19 year old boy.
00:12:25.89\00:12:32.46
And in that third
split second boom!
00:12:32.49\00:12:37.60
There came the subway
roaring over the top of them.
00:12:37.63\00:12:42.47
That's the subway engineer
00:12:42.50\00:12:44.03
saw at the last second
he slammed on his brakes.
00:12:44.06\00:12:47.61
There were sparks
as those iron wheels
00:12:47.64\00:12:50.87
against the iron
tracks skidded to a stop.
00:12:50.90\00:12:56.32
The crowd was screaming.
00:12:56.35\00:12:58.54
They had seen it.
00:12:58.57\00:13:00.12
They knew what had happened.
00:13:00.15\00:13:02.32
The two are now dead
00:13:02.35\00:13:05.26
when suddenly a voice came
up from underneath the train.
00:13:05.29\00:13:10.51
We're both okay,
can you get us out.
00:13:10.54\00:13:15.09
Ah. Oh, my.
00:13:15.12\00:13:19.67
When they pulled Wesley
Autrey and Cameron Hollopeter up
00:13:19.70\00:13:25.93
the whole crowd
erupted in a cheer.
00:13:25.96\00:13:29.79
Everybody is
walking up to Wesley
00:13:29.82\00:13:31.60
and giving him a hug
and pounded him on the back.
00:13:31.63\00:13:33.96
You are a hero.
00:13:33.99\00:13:37.11
You saved that boy's life.
00:13:37.14\00:13:41.78
I'm no hero, father Autrey said,
00:13:41.81\00:13:44.31
I just did what had to be done.
00:13:44.34\00:13:47.09
I want to show you a
picture of father Autrey
00:13:47.12\00:13:49.47
and his two little girls.
00:13:49.50\00:13:50.65
We'll put it on
the big screen too.
00:13:50.68\00:13:52.22
There they are.
00:13:52.25\00:13:53.98
There they are
outside the subway station.
00:13:54.01\00:13:58.24
They are calling father
Autrey now the hero of Harlem,
00:13:58.27\00:14:03.25
the man who would
have risked his life
00:14:03.28\00:14:07.34
to save that 19 year old boy.
00:14:07.37\00:14:10.39
Now I want to show
you another picture
00:14:10.42\00:14:11.59
because this was
taken just a few days ago
00:14:11.62\00:14:13.88
because all of the New
York City is celebrating.
00:14:13.91\00:14:16.72
The Mayor said, Mr. Autrey, you
now receive the bronze medallion
00:14:16.75\00:14:22.83
that's given to famous people
like General Douglas Macarthur.
00:14:22.86\00:14:26.98
You are a hero to New York City.
00:14:27.01\00:14:29.55
And Donald Trump,
have you ever heard of him?
00:14:29.58\00:14:32.55
I'm sorry you have. All right.
00:14:32.58\00:14:35.62
Donald Trump, Donald
Trump said bring that man in.
00:14:35.65\00:14:39.67
They brought him in
with his little girls,
00:14:39.70\00:14:41.75
he gave him $10,000
and a trip to Disneyland
00:14:41.78\00:14:47.23
and the subway company said,
00:14:47.26\00:14:49.08
we're gonna give you a
free years riding on our subways
00:14:49.11\00:14:53.95
and the film school that little
Cameron was going to they said,
00:14:53.98\00:14:58.18
we're starting a $2,500
scholarship for your girls.
00:14:58.21\00:15:03.99
Oh, what a hero that man is.
00:15:04.02\00:15:10.09
You know, when I
heard that story this week,
00:15:10.12\00:15:11.65
I said, hey,
timeout, wow, wow, wow.
00:15:11.68\00:15:15.12
Wait a minute.
00:15:15.15\00:15:16.30
This reminds me of
somebody else who is watching
00:15:16.33\00:15:20.84
and he saw all of
the earth children
00:15:20.87\00:15:23.72
thrown on to the
railway tracks of sin
00:15:23.75\00:15:26.32
and he said, they are gonna die
00:15:26.35\00:15:27.96
and somebody else jumped down
on to those tracks to save us.
00:15:27.99\00:15:34.94
Oh, I thought--what is
His name that I'm thinking of?
00:15:34.97\00:15:38.48
Jesus.
00:15:38.51\00:15:39.54
I'm thinking of God,
I'm thinking of Jesus.
00:15:39.57\00:15:41.87
You are absolutely right.
00:15:41.90\00:15:43.55
And you know what, He said I'm--
00:15:43.58\00:15:46.46
because you know that
train I forgot to tell you this,
00:15:46.49\00:15:48.28
the train pass
within two inches,
00:15:48.31\00:15:50.30
two inches of
the man underneath.
00:15:50.33\00:15:53.44
But when the train
went over Jesus, hit Him.
00:15:53.47\00:15:57.47
Jesus was killed because He
came to save us from our sins.
00:15:57.50\00:16:03.22
Oh, my.
00:16:03.25\00:16:04.71
I tell you that's the real hero.
00:16:04.74\00:16:06.57
And you know what,
00:16:06.60\00:16:07.63
if you accept the
hero as your savior
00:16:07.66\00:16:09.42
you are not going to Disneyland,
00:16:09.45\00:16:10.79
you are going to heaven.
00:16:10.82\00:16:13.05
Oh, hallelujah he is right.
00:16:13.08\00:16:15.02
How many want to
put one hand up and say,
00:16:15.05\00:16:16.99
oh, how thankful I am
for the hero of heaven
00:16:17.02\00:16:20.25
who jumped down to
save the whole world.
00:16:20.28\00:16:23.36
And now with your other
hand how many want to say,
00:16:23.39\00:16:25.69
this New Year I want to follow
Jesus every step of the way.
00:16:25.72\00:16:31.82
Oh, let's pray together.
00:16:31.85\00:16:33.16
Dear Jesus, You
jumped down on the track,
00:16:33.19\00:16:37.25
in front of the roaring train
00:16:37.28\00:16:39.46
that would have
killed us and You saved us.
00:16:39.49\00:16:42.84
Oh, Jesus, one
hand says we love You,
00:16:42.87\00:16:46.30
and we thank You forever
00:16:46.33\00:16:47.52
and the other hand says we want
to follow You not to Disneyland,
00:16:47.55\00:16:51.11
we want to follow
You back home to heaven.
00:16:51.14\00:16:53.55
Bless these boys and girls,
00:16:53.58\00:16:54.99
make 2007 the best
year ever in their lives.
00:16:55.02\00:17:00.05
Because of your love we
pray in Your name, amen.
00:17:00.08\00:17:04.88
As you go quietly now and
reverently back to your seats
00:17:04.91\00:17:07.80
you can be saying
that in your heart
00:17:07.83\00:17:09.17
oh, thank you Jesus,
00:17:09.20\00:17:11.15
thank you Jesus for jumping
on to the tracks and saving me.
00:17:11.18\00:17:17.16
God bless and
happy New Year to you.
00:17:17.19\00:17:19.59
And that's why we
gather to do today Father,
00:17:25.30\00:17:27.97
a new song, we're
tired of the old song
00:17:28.00\00:17:32.17
we're ready for the new one.
00:17:32.20\00:17:33.95
Please set the pitch for
the song that we shall sing.
00:17:36.76\00:17:42.69
And let the melody of its
refrain be locked in our hearts.
00:17:42.72\00:17:46.66
What we learn this morning
00:17:46.69\00:17:50.03
lock it within for
the rest of the journey.
00:17:50.06\00:17:54.71
To keep the song new, we
pray in Christ Jesus name, amen.
00:17:54.74\00:18:02.71
I hold here in my hands
the report, fascinating,
00:18:02.74\00:18:07.44
fascinating bit of research.
00:18:07.47\00:18:09.15
Report that just
came out three weeks ago
00:18:09.18\00:18:12.23
published in that
preeminent scientific journal
00:18:12.26\00:18:15.05
called Nature.
00:18:15.08\00:18:16.32
You've heard of
Nature. I know you have.
00:18:16.35\00:18:18.22
This is the
Associated Press's report
00:18:18.25\00:18:20.21
just came out three weeks ago.
00:18:20.24\00:18:22.16
Here's the report
and as it would happen
00:18:22.19\00:18:24.47
also datelined New York.
00:18:24.50\00:18:26.69
Let me read to you
just a line or two.
00:18:26.72\00:18:29.76
"In a
discovery," listen to this,
00:18:29.79\00:18:31.97
"in a discovery that could
lead to better painkillers,"
00:18:32.00\00:18:37.20
all right.
00:18:37.23\00:18:39.89
"Scientists have identified
a genetic defect in children
00:18:39.92\00:18:43.48
who cannot feel pain.
00:18:43.51\00:18:47.83
Sound like a blessed
way to live, it is not.
00:18:47.86\00:18:51.45
The article goes on, listen now.
00:18:51.48\00:18:52.92
In today's issue
the journal Nature,
00:18:52.95\00:18:54.40
"Scientists have
found the defect described
00:18:54.43\00:18:57.68
in six related children who
have never felt physical pain
00:18:57.71\00:19:01.64
because of the
very rare disorder.
00:19:01.67\00:19:03.41
The children come
from three families
00:19:03.44\00:19:05.23
with roots in
Northern Pakistan, all right.
00:19:05.26\00:19:10.81
Now the reports was on to note
00:19:10.84\00:19:12.85
there is nothing neurologically
wrong with these kids.
00:19:12.88\00:19:15.41
Now as they can
feel warm and cold,
00:19:15.44\00:19:17.08
they can feel
pressure, they can be tickled,
00:19:17.11\00:19:19.59
there is nothing
wrong with their brains,
00:19:19.62\00:19:21.37
they just cannot feel pain."
00:19:21.40\00:19:25.54
Incredible.
00:19:25.57\00:19:26.60
Now listen to
the effects of this.
00:19:26.63\00:19:30.67
"Because the
children felt no pain
00:19:30.70\00:19:32.61
from biting
themselves, for example.
00:19:32.64\00:19:36.15
All six had
injuries to their lips
00:19:36.18\00:19:37.99
some later
requiring plastic surgery,
00:19:38.02\00:19:40.17
two had lost one
third of their tongues."
00:19:40.20\00:19:45.79
Isn't that awful?
00:19:45.82\00:19:46.85
I mean, do you ever
bite the inside of your mouth
00:19:46.88\00:19:48.59
when you're eating--
you're so excited to eat?
00:19:48.62\00:19:51.07
And then that thing that little
bite gets the biggest the swell
00:19:51.10\00:19:53.48
and you keep
biting it over and over
00:19:53.51\00:19:54.79
and you are in agony for months.
00:19:54.82\00:19:58.76
No pain, they don't
know that they are bitten.
00:19:58.79\00:20:02.18
Listen on.
00:20:02.21\00:20:04.21
"Most had suffered
fractures or bone infections
00:20:04.24\00:20:06.75
that were
diagnosed only later on
00:20:06.78\00:20:08.42
because of limping or the
lack of the use of the limp."
00:20:08.45\00:20:10.72
What's the matter with your arm?
00:20:10.75\00:20:11.78
Well, I don't know I
just can't use it anymore.
00:20:11.81\00:20:13.11
It was broken. No pain.
00:20:13.14\00:20:16.08
"Some also had been scalded
by boiling liquids or steam,
00:20:16.11\00:20:19.06
or burned from
sitting on radiators,
00:20:19.09\00:20:21.13
said C. Geoffrey
Woods, a geneticist
00:20:21.16\00:20:25.26
at the Cambridge Institute
for Medical Research in England.
00:20:25.29\00:20:28.24
He and colleagues
wrote the Nature report."
00:20:28.27\00:20:30.24
Now here is one
little sad ending.
00:20:30.27\00:20:31.53
"Woods had been asked
to see another patient,
00:20:31.56\00:20:33.58
a boy who took
advantage of the condition
00:20:33.61\00:20:35.27
by performing street theater,
00:20:35.30\00:20:36.97
piercing his arms with
knives out on the sidewalks,
00:20:37.00\00:20:39.78
walking on burning coals.
00:20:39.81\00:20:41.89
But the boy died
before Woods saw him,
00:20:41.92\00:20:44.93
after jumping off the roof of
a house on his 14th birthday."
00:20:44.96\00:20:49.15
Had no idea this would hurt.
00:20:49.18\00:20:52.64
That's the moral
of the story here.
00:20:52.67\00:20:55.13
Summation here
00:20:55.16\00:20:56.19
"Their experience illustrates
00:20:56.22\00:20:57.47
that pain is an
important warning of injury,
00:20:57.50\00:20:59.69
disease or danger
that signals people
00:20:59.72\00:21:01.47
to save themselves
from further injury.
00:21:01.50\00:21:03.37
Life without that
signal, the report shows,
00:21:03.40\00:21:05.81
life without that
signal is dangerous."
00:21:05.84\00:21:10.33
So here's the question.
00:21:10.36\00:21:13.48
If pain is good
for us, all right,
00:21:13.51\00:21:16.04
if pain is good for us
00:21:16.07\00:21:17.35
how much of pain shall
we take into this New Year?
00:21:17.38\00:21:22.00
I'm not thinking
about physical pain,
00:21:22.03\00:21:24.92
God bless those six children.
00:21:24.95\00:21:26.81
I'm thinking about
the pain of the heart,
00:21:26.84\00:21:29.04
the pain of the emotions,
the pain of the spirit,
00:21:29.07\00:21:32.20
pain over past
memories, pain for memories,
00:21:32.23\00:21:38.78
pain over past
failing, past falling.
00:21:38.81\00:21:43.98
Come on guys,
00:21:44.01\00:21:45.04
don't be looking at
everybody else in this church,
00:21:45.07\00:21:47.40
we all carry, do we not,
00:21:47.43\00:21:49.29
we all carry that pain, come on.
00:21:49.32\00:21:52.41
Pain over a past decision,
00:21:52.44\00:21:55.13
or choice, a past sorrow,
00:21:55.16\00:22:00.66
a past sin, a past
guilt, painful past.
00:22:00.69\00:22:06.45
How much of it do we
carry into the New Year
00:22:06.48\00:22:08.63
that's the question, I
mean if it's good for us?
00:22:08.66\00:22:14.32
Painful memories of last year
00:22:14.35\00:22:16.04
and for some of
us are like a ball
00:22:16.07\00:22:17.87
and chain clasped to our ankles.
00:22:17.90\00:22:22.64
I mean, can you
imagine how much pain
00:22:22.67\00:22:24.45
they must have dragged that
ball and chain the two of them.
00:22:24.48\00:22:27.50
I tell you
what-- if it had been me
00:22:27.53\00:22:30.15
and I have to wake
in that morning after
00:22:30.18\00:22:34.23
with that awful,
awful grief hangover
00:22:34.26\00:22:37.98
I would not have the strength
00:22:38.01\00:22:39.26
to crawl out of bed
that day, impossible.
00:22:39.29\00:22:41.86
Do you ever have
great mornings like that
00:22:41.89\00:22:43.19
where you just don't
want to get out of bed?
00:22:43.22\00:22:45.79
I mean, maybe it
all been a nightmare,
00:22:45.82\00:22:47.98
maybe we here
only been dreaming,
00:22:48.01\00:22:49.71
but they knew that
they had not been dreaming
00:22:49.74\00:22:51.85
because of the carved out pain,
00:22:51.88\00:22:54.37
terrible and awful pain
deep within their hearts.
00:22:54.40\00:22:58.67
And so early the next morning
00:22:58.70\00:23:00.63
just to make sure two grownups,
00:23:00.66\00:23:04.28
grownup children hand in hand
00:23:04.31\00:23:06.54
race back
through the morning mist,
00:23:06.57\00:23:08.32
across that wet green carpet.
00:23:08.35\00:23:09.89
And they are gasping for air,
00:23:09.92\00:23:11.59
they stand outside the
front door of their old home,
00:23:11.62\00:23:15.18
old home barred and blacked
00:23:15.21\00:23:21.22
by the truth of
the Orange Sword.
00:23:21.25\00:23:28.30
Open your Bible with me please
to the Book of Beginnings.
00:23:28.33\00:23:30.82
I can't take you a
better place to begin,
00:23:30.85\00:23:32.52
when you're beginning a new year
than to the Book of Beginnings.
00:23:32.55\00:23:34.41
Go to the book
of Genesis please.
00:23:34.44\00:23:37.39
Relive with me for a moment.
00:23:37.42\00:23:39.35
What had to be excruciating pain
over the past in their hearts,
00:23:39.38\00:23:45.69
talking about
Adam and Eve of course?
00:23:45.72\00:23:48.48
If you didn't bring a Bible you
have to see this for yourself.
00:23:48.51\00:23:51.04
Take the pew
Bible in front of you,
00:23:51.07\00:23:52.59
It'd be the same translation
I'm using New Kings James.
00:23:52.62\00:23:54.42
It's page three
in the pew Bible.
00:23:54.45\00:23:57.51
Genesis, please, the
truth of the Orange Sword.
00:23:57.54\00:24:03.92
Genesis Chapter 3,
00:24:03.95\00:24:06.38
very last line of
this heartbreaking chapter.
00:24:06.41\00:24:08.53
You know, what
happens in this chapter,
00:24:08.56\00:24:09.67
the human race
falls, it's over, curtains.
00:24:09.70\00:24:13.05
The very last line of
this chapter 3 verse 24.
00:24:13.08\00:24:17.71
So He it would
be God, the Creator.
00:24:17.74\00:24:22.28
John 1, Colossians 1, Hebrews 1
00:24:22.31\00:24:24.34
very clear this is
the pre-incarnate Christ.
00:24:24.37\00:24:27.25
This is their forever friend.
00:24:27.28\00:24:29.16
"So He drove out
the man and the woman,
00:24:29.19\00:24:34.39
and He placed cherubim at
the east of the Garden of Eden,
00:24:34.42\00:24:37.50
and a flaming sword
which turned every way,
00:24:37.53\00:24:40.64
to guard the way
to the tree of life."
00:24:40.67\00:24:43.97
Did you catch that?
00:24:44.00\00:24:45.30
A flaming sword
which turned every way.
00:24:45.33\00:24:50.58
The bitter truth
of the Orange Sword,
00:24:50.61\00:24:53.85
four words long,
you cannot go back.
00:24:53.88\00:25:00.12
You cannot go back.
00:25:00.15\00:25:04.45
Listen if you've ever
been a parent of a first grader
00:25:04.48\00:25:07.93
you'll learn that
lesson way too quickly.
00:25:07.96\00:25:12.44
We had the joy of having our
children home over the holiday.
00:25:12.47\00:25:15.36
So we're pulling out
some of the family photos,
00:25:15.39\00:25:17.65
some of these were
going to pass on to the kids
00:25:17.68\00:25:19.45
and all my to the
memories come flooded back.
00:25:19.48\00:25:22.58
Now I'm gonna talk a
certain segment of you,
00:25:22.61\00:25:24.92
the rest of you listening
00:25:24.95\00:25:26.35
you know that your
parents went through this.
00:25:26.38\00:25:28.57
But do you
remember the snapshots
00:25:28.60\00:25:30.18
you took of your child's first
day at school, remember those?
00:25:30.21\00:25:36.27
We took them in the same place
00:25:36.30\00:25:37.68
always on the stairs
in front of the house,
00:25:37.71\00:25:39.26
first it's Kirk, first with dad,
00:25:39.29\00:25:41.80
then with mom, we
didn't have any self timer
00:25:41.83\00:25:43.17
just chuk, chuk, chuk, chuk.
00:25:43.20\00:25:44.33
Six years later then Kristy,
00:25:44.36\00:25:45.85
first with dad
and then with mom,
00:25:45.88\00:25:46.91
chuk, chuk, chuk, chuk.
00:25:46.94\00:25:49.29
By the way that was
back before digital cameras
00:25:49.32\00:25:52.78
which guaranteed that you got
00:25:52.81\00:25:54.45
your pictures
develop for posterity.
00:25:54.48\00:25:57.17
I tell you what,
we're losing folks, side.
00:25:57.20\00:25:58.90
I don't want to
get distracted here
00:25:58.93\00:26:00.29
but digital cameras there
must be a billion photographs
00:26:00.32\00:26:03.17
on this earth that will
never see the light a day.
00:26:03.20\00:26:07.18
Nobody's print them off.
00:26:07.21\00:26:09.37
And I'm saying that
to you young parents,
00:26:09.40\00:26:11.25
hey, hey, you better
print those prints off
00:26:11.28\00:26:13.94
because nobody is
gonna put a computer disc,
00:26:13.97\00:26:15.73
nobody is gonna
ask for your laptop
00:26:15.76\00:26:17.65
when that child's growing
up you better print them off.
00:26:17.68\00:26:20.50
Don't get me going.
00:26:20.53\00:26:22.35
Anyway, there is your child,
00:26:25.61\00:26:27.88
you remember that
picture of your child.
00:26:27.91\00:26:28.97
Some of you wore the picture.
00:26:29.00\00:26:30.57
You remember that
picture there is your child
00:26:30.60\00:26:33.53
in what appears to
be an oversize backpack
00:26:33.56\00:26:36.74
hanging way down the back.
00:26:36.77\00:26:38.58
Inside that backpack
stuffed are new crayons,
00:26:38.61\00:26:43.46
new pencils, a new notebook
00:26:43.49\00:26:45.71
and a lunch
lovingly crafted by mother
00:26:45.74\00:26:49.03
for your first
lunch away from home.
00:26:49.06\00:26:53.28
Yeah.
00:26:53.31\00:26:54.84
But here's the
point, here's the point,
00:26:54.87\00:26:56.14
ladies and gentlemen,
00:26:56.17\00:26:57.20
when you say goodbye
at the classroom door,
00:26:57.23\00:26:59.81
'cause the first day you
took them all the way in.
00:26:59.84\00:27:03.26
When you say goodbye
at the classroom door
00:27:03.29\00:27:05.95
to that little tiny first
grader you knew didn't you?
00:27:05.98\00:27:09.85
Come on I know
you knew, you knew,
00:27:09.88\00:27:12.45
I know you knew because
00:27:12.48\00:27:13.87
I know I knew even
that we didn't know
00:27:13.90\00:27:15.73
that we knew at the time.
00:27:15.76\00:27:18.33
You knew something
is passing away today,
00:27:18.36\00:27:24.01
something is gone.
00:27:24.04\00:27:26.03
And when he comes
home, when she comes home,
00:27:26.06\00:27:29.55
the story is changed
just a little forever.
00:27:29.58\00:27:36.41
A door what's happen here a door
00:27:36.44\00:27:38.91
that old love song the theme
to the days of wine and roses,
00:27:38.94\00:27:43.72
a door--how does
that song described it.
00:27:43.75\00:27:45.27
"A door marked nevermore,
that wasn't there before."
00:27:45.30\00:27:49.97
There it is.
00:27:50.00\00:27:51.53
Never knew that door
was coming but it's there.
00:27:51.56\00:27:56.38
The door marked nevermore like,
00:27:56.41\00:27:57.95
because you cannot go back.
00:27:57.98\00:27:59.31
The growing up of a child,
the passing of an innocence,
00:27:59.34\00:28:02.51
the loosing of
your own innocence,
00:28:02.54\00:28:05.68
the death of a spouse, the
diminishing of a friendship
00:28:05.71\00:28:11.30
you can't go back, it's gone.
00:28:11.33\00:28:15.53
For the thousand tugs at
our hearts from yesterday
00:28:15.56\00:28:19.60
it's the truth of the Orange
Sword, you cannot go back.
00:28:19.63\00:28:25.00
No matter how
deeply you long to,
00:28:25.03\00:28:26.97
no matter how hard you
try to, you cannot go back,
00:28:27.00\00:28:29.84
not to joy, not to sorrow,
not to success, not to failure,
00:28:29.87\00:28:32.52
not to a
friend, not to an enemy,
00:28:32.55\00:28:34.37
you just can't get back period.
00:28:34.40\00:28:36.35
Oh, it's true, we
try, oh mercy do we try.
00:28:36.38\00:28:39.54
We spend billions
of dollars trying.
00:28:39.57\00:28:43.99
We dye our hair.
00:28:44.02\00:28:47.26
Why do people dye their hair?
00:28:47.29\00:28:48.74
I don't.
00:28:48.77\00:28:50.24
Why we dye hair 'cause we don't
want to look like we really are.
00:28:53.31\00:28:57.40
I want to look like I was.
00:28:57.43\00:29:00.35
We shave our faces.
Why we shave our face?
00:29:00.38\00:29:01.81
Because you know
if you leave that on
00:29:01.84\00:29:02.87
you look terribly old, get off.
00:29:02.90\00:29:07.13
We spend billions on wardrobes
00:29:07.16\00:29:09.53
because we got to get
rid off those wide lapels
00:29:09.56\00:29:12.01
and those leisure nylon suits.
00:29:12.04\00:29:14.70
We don't want
to look who we are.
00:29:14.73\00:29:18.22
You can't go back. You can try.
00:29:18.25\00:29:22.18
The nation
mourned this last week
00:29:22.21\00:29:25.44
the death of the 38th
president of the United States.
00:29:25.47\00:29:29.07
A fellow Michigander like
us Gerald R. Ford there he is.
00:29:29.10\00:29:34.74
I have to say this
by a way of inside.
00:29:34.77\00:29:37.74
I don't recall ever hearing
such a unanimous outpouring
00:29:37.77\00:29:43.26
and admiration and
respect for a political leader
00:29:43.29\00:29:45.84
as we heard this
week across the board.
00:29:45.87\00:29:49.81
There has to be a lesson
00:29:49.84\00:29:51.26
somewhere in that
for us, doesn't there?
00:29:51.29\00:29:54.82
Anyway, I'm watching the
talking heads this last week
00:29:54.85\00:29:58.88
and they share a statistic.
00:29:58.91\00:30:00.37
This statistic
blew me out of the water
00:30:00.40\00:30:02.20
and I have to share with
you so that you suffer with me.
00:30:02.23\00:30:05.08
Forty percent of Americans
alive today were not alive
00:30:05.11\00:30:07.77
when President G.R.
Ford became president.
00:30:07.80\00:30:10.83
Forty percent.
00:30:10.86\00:30:13.37
Talking about making you feel
00:30:13.40\00:30:14.74
oh, Karen I got married
while he was vice president.
00:30:14.77\00:30:19.39
We got married in June he
becomes president in August
00:30:19.42\00:30:21.89
and we're coming back
to the theological seminary
00:30:21.92\00:30:23.90
for the very
first time in our lives
00:30:23.93\00:30:26.01
and we're going through
Canada went on a Sunday morning
00:30:26.04\00:30:29.19
it is announced on the radio
00:30:29.22\00:30:30.39
he has pardon the
previous president.
00:30:30.42\00:30:33.05
Talking about feeling, oh.
00:30:33.08\00:30:35.53
It stats like that.
00:30:35.56\00:30:37.32
And by the way
if this were chapel
00:30:37.35\00:30:38.81
and this is the--
the kids are all back
00:30:38.84\00:30:40.73
and this is chapel
you know what I could say,
00:30:40.76\00:30:42.51
100% of you were
not alive back there.
00:30:42.54\00:30:47.30
Man, it stats like
that that keep you and me
00:30:47.33\00:30:49.61
so earnestly spending energy
and capital to feel young again,
00:30:49.64\00:30:53.98
we call it a midlife crisis.
00:30:54.01\00:30:57.85
We self medicate our
minds, we Botox our faces,
00:30:57.88\00:31:05.38
we plastic surgery our bodies,
00:31:05.41\00:31:08.99
some buy expensive
toys to feel young again,
00:31:09.02\00:31:12.13
others turn to sexual exploits
00:31:12.16\00:31:14.39
just to prove
they are still virile.
00:31:14.42\00:31:17.70
But we can't go
back, it's for nothing.
00:31:17.73\00:31:22.69
It's a truth of the Orange
Sword, you cannot go back.
00:31:22.72\00:31:27.57
I wish you would write that down
00:31:27.60\00:31:28.83
and never forgot it
for the rest of your lives
00:31:28.86\00:31:30.56
because what we're
about to learn from this truth
00:31:30.59\00:31:32.14
is it has way more
serious implications
00:31:32.17\00:31:35.36
for the life of the Spirit
as you know it in just a moment.
00:31:35.39\00:31:37.74
Take your new
study guide out please.
00:31:37.77\00:31:39.56
Let's jot it down the
truth of the Orange Sword.
00:31:39.59\00:31:42.98
It's in your worship
Bulletin, thank you ushers
00:31:43.01\00:31:45.30

would be a good time
00:31:45.33\00:31:46.62
for you to begin
distributing these.
00:31:46.65\00:31:48.33
Hold your hand up if you
didn't' get a worship bulletin.
00:31:48.36\00:31:50.57
There is a tiny little
piece of dynamite in this
00:31:50.60\00:31:52.64
that you want to keep
for the rest of your life.
00:31:52.67\00:31:54.50
So hold you hand up,
make sure you receive it.
00:31:54.53\00:31:56.66

00:32:12.38\00:32:13.48

We will never be the same again.
00:32:21.80\00:32:23.97
Trust me, because

00:32:24.00\00:32:28.06
Be here next

00:32:28.09\00:32:29.68
But this is a standalone.
00:32:29.71\00:32:31.02
We might take
it on to the series
00:32:31.05\00:32:32.80

truth of the Orange Sword,

Okay, everybody
has the study guide.
00:32:40.01\00:32:45.04
Very good. Let's
fill it in please.
00:32:45.07\00:32:47.92
What is the truth
of the Orange Sword?
00:32:47.95\00:32:49.25
Fill it in, you already know it.
00:32:49.28\00:32:50.63
"You cannot go back."
00:32:50.66\00:32:54.64
Genesis, right in
the book, Genesis 3:24.
00:32:54.67\00:32:59.88
In fact let's read Genesis 3:24.
00:32:59.91\00:33:02.04
Read it again, you
got your Bible still open.
00:33:02.07\00:33:04.00
Genesis 3:24 read
that last line again.
00:33:04.03\00:33:08.90
"So He" the loving creator,
00:33:08.93\00:33:11.74
"He drove out the man
and woman," Adam and Eve,
00:33:11.77\00:33:15.35
"and He placed cherubim at
the east of the Garden of Eden,
00:33:15.38\00:33:18.39
and a flaming sword
which turned every way,
00:33:18.42\00:33:21.29
to guard the way
to the tree of life."
00:33:21.32\00:33:26.48
Keep your pen moving.
00:33:26.51\00:33:27.54
Which makes this, it has
to make this, jot it down.
00:33:27.57\00:33:30.61
"A God truth."
00:33:30.64\00:33:32.56
It has to be a God
truth for our human good.
00:33:32.59\00:33:35.65
Come on, can you imagine
God doing anything bad for us?
00:33:35.68\00:33:39.42
It can't be--a divine
angry action that's bad.
00:33:39.45\00:33:43.33
It's got to be good.
00:33:43.36\00:33:44.41
That angel with
the drawn Orange Sword
00:33:44.44\00:33:47.47
standing and guarding the gate
00:33:47.50\00:33:49.19
that's truth of the Orange Sword
00:33:49.22\00:33:50.66
it has to be a
good truth for us.
00:33:50.69\00:33:54.00
For human good,
because let's face it.
00:33:54.03\00:33:59.24
An untutored and
that's the key word right here
00:33:59.27\00:34:02.80
an untutored conscience.
00:34:02.83\00:34:06.04
We all have
consciences and untutored,
00:34:06.07\00:34:09.46
untaught
conscience forever rattles
00:34:09.49\00:34:12.78
at the gate marked nevermore.
00:34:12.81\00:34:14.57
Have you noticed, always.
00:34:14.60\00:34:17.88
And it is precisely here.
00:34:17.91\00:34:19.33
I've lived a few
years on this planet
00:34:19.36\00:34:22.28
and I've listen to a lot of
people talk and I'm convinced.
00:34:22.31\00:34:26.91
Ladies and
gentlemen, I'm convinced
00:34:26.94\00:34:28.06
that the deepest
pain of the human heart
00:34:28.09\00:34:32.87
is not a death pain,
00:34:32.90\00:34:35.29
it's the pain over the past.
00:34:35.32\00:34:40.34
I'm thinking about
moral falling or failing,
00:34:40.37\00:34:43.47
pain over sins that have passed.
00:34:43.50\00:34:44.80
In fact we have a
name for this pain.
00:34:44.83\00:34:46.16
Listen carefully.
The name is guilt, guilt.
00:34:46.19\00:34:53.84
But I want to be
quick to insert here
00:34:53.87\00:34:55.67
I don't believe that's
the most painful guilt.
00:34:55.70\00:34:57.90
Here's the most
painful guilt of all, of all,
00:34:57.93\00:34:59.96
of all and that is the guilt.
00:34:59.99\00:35:03.63
The recurring-- returning guilt
00:35:03.66\00:35:05.79
even after you have confessed
00:35:05.82\00:35:07.90
and forsaken
that sin in the past
00:35:07.93\00:35:10.04
it still comes back to you
00:35:10.07\00:35:11.66
and it still hurts
and that's the killer.
00:35:11.69\00:35:14.75
That's the
killer. What do we do?
00:35:14.78\00:35:18.12
Even we who are followers
of the Lord Jesus Christ,
00:35:18.15\00:35:20.92
have you noticed what we do,
00:35:20.95\00:35:22.07
we all of a
suddenly want to become
00:35:22.10\00:35:23.17
like the kid in
the children story.
00:35:23.20\00:35:25.09
We all want to become Hollywood
film directors, all of us.
00:35:25.12\00:35:29.58
And what do we do
when we are film directors?
00:35:29.61\00:35:31.43
We attempt to go back
to the scene of the crime,
00:35:31.46\00:35:35.57
the sin, the fall,
that moral transgression
00:35:35.60\00:35:37.88
that our
conscience for some reason
00:35:37.91\00:35:39.65
will not let us forget.
00:35:39.68\00:35:41.13
Why do we want to go back?
00:35:41.16\00:35:42.95
Because we want to
re-shoot the scene,
00:35:42.98\00:35:46.33
sans, without our sin in it.
00:35:46.36\00:35:51.39
And thus we
attempt to fool ourselves.
00:35:51.42\00:35:52.67
That's how we're doing.
00:35:52.70\00:35:53.73
We attempt to trick
ourselves into reliving
00:35:53.76\00:35:56.49
what in fact cannot be relived
00:35:56.52\00:35:59.58
for it is on the other side
of a door that marked nevermore.
00:35:59.61\00:36:04.23
You can't go
back. And yet we try.
00:36:04.26\00:36:08.34
Oh, how hard we try.
00:36:08.37\00:36:11.98
Bearing the pain of
a guilty conscience.
00:36:12.01\00:36:14.78
Get this, tormented
by a virtual reality
00:36:14.81\00:36:18.55
no longer
accessible to the human race,
00:36:18.58\00:36:21.27
it isn't even real
anymore, the past, it's gone.
00:36:21.30\00:36:26.64
But we try to get
back to it, how sad.
00:36:26.67\00:36:30.90
No, no, no, no the word
is not sad, how painful.
00:36:30.93\00:36:35.06
I know of what I speak.
00:36:35.09\00:36:37.74
Intellectually oh, come we're
a bright university parish.
00:36:42.12\00:36:45.63
Intellectually we know we can't
00:36:45.66\00:36:47.21
but emotionally we still try,
00:36:47.24\00:36:49.27
how many thousands
of times do you suppose
00:36:49.30\00:36:51.80
Adam and Eve
attempted to go back
00:36:51.83\00:36:53.82
and relive that fateful day
00:36:53.85\00:36:55.96
when they ate
the forbidden fruit.
00:36:55.99\00:36:57.52
If only I
hadn't, if only I hadn't.
00:36:57.55\00:37:01.43
Like amateur film directors
00:37:04.72\00:37:06.26
attempting to
re-shoot the scene of our crime
00:37:06.29\00:37:08.43
minus the crime this time.
00:37:08.46\00:37:11.15
Even when we've confessed
00:37:11.18\00:37:14.06
and forsaken that sin
00:37:14.09\00:37:16.31
why is it that for some of
us the memory still lingers
00:37:16.34\00:37:19.28
and the pain of its guilt
still throbs inside of us, why?
00:37:19.31\00:37:25.12
That's because we
either never learned it
00:37:27.46\00:37:31.62
or we have never believed it
the truth of the Orange Sword.
00:37:31.65\00:37:35.55
You can't go back,
you cannot go back.
00:37:35.58\00:37:40.08
And it is only
feudal self medication.
00:37:40.11\00:37:42.53
And by the way, self
is the operative word
00:37:42.56\00:37:46.14
and that's my problem.
00:37:46.17\00:37:47.77
I'll tell you really
cannot be honest with it,
00:37:47.80\00:37:50.13
that's why I deal with pain.
00:37:50.16\00:37:53.47
Because somehow I
think in my mind--
00:37:53.50\00:37:57.02
look at boy you are a big boy
00:37:57.05\00:37:58.97
you can handle
this, deal with it,
00:37:59.00\00:38:01.81
get it, kill it this time.
00:38:01.84\00:38:05.67
Somehow I think self-ego pride
00:38:05.70\00:38:08.10
I can self
medicate my conscience.
00:38:08.13\00:38:12.31
This time around you can't,
00:38:12.34\00:38:15.07
you can't, no
possibly, impossible.
00:38:15.10\00:38:22.51
You know, what's happened?
00:38:22.54\00:38:24.09
We believe the subtle
hiss of the garden serpent.
00:38:24.12\00:38:28.59
You will be as God.
00:38:28.62\00:38:31.39
And so with all the might doomed
might we try so hard to be God.
00:38:31.42\00:38:36.64
I can extricate this
because you see what,
00:38:36.67\00:38:38.97
you see the reality is I
don't want to be helpless.
00:38:39.00\00:38:44.00
I don't want to be hopeless.
00:38:44.03\00:38:45.90
I want to be able to set
the terms for my life story.
00:38:45.93\00:38:51.35
And it drives me crazy
00:38:51.38\00:38:53.23
that there is some
place beyond my touch
00:38:53.26\00:38:56.20
I cannot get back to
it but I keep trying.
00:38:56.23\00:38:59.11
You keep trying and the pain
keeps eating your heart out.
00:38:59.14\00:39:05.45
Even those of us who
call Jesus Lord and Savior
00:39:05.48\00:39:08.39
and so the pain of that
unresolved guilt festers on
00:39:08.42\00:39:10.83
we pound, we plead, we cry
and that door marked nevermore.
00:39:10.86\00:39:15.28
Thinking that even if we
could get back to the past
00:39:15.31\00:39:17.23
we can heal it, we can't,
we are humanly impossible.
00:39:17.26\00:39:21.32
Because did you
notice by the way
00:39:21.35\00:39:22.66
the truth of the flaming sword
00:39:22.69\00:39:24.14
is that it turns every
way that angel is a fencer.
00:39:24.17\00:39:27.10
You ever watched fencing
in the Olympics, fencing?
00:39:27.13\00:39:28.95
No matter which you go, go, go
that sword is blocking your way.
00:39:28.98\00:39:34.29
Every effort,
every route blocked.
00:39:34.32\00:39:37.23
You cannot, you cannot go back.
00:39:37.26\00:39:39.91
But hallelujah
write this down, will you?
00:39:39.94\00:39:41.82
The good news, hallelujah,
is that you don't have to.
00:39:41.85\00:39:45.38
Write that down
please, write now.
00:39:45.41\00:39:47.71
Keep your pen moving.
00:39:47.74\00:39:48.77
Why don't we have to go back.
00:39:48.80\00:39:49.93
"Because the God who
locked the gate to the past,"
00:39:49.96\00:39:51.83
write it in, "is the same God
00:39:51.86\00:39:53.24
who has unlocked
the door to the future."
00:39:53.27\00:39:55.36
Write that in.
And how did He do it.
00:39:55.39\00:39:57.75
"He did it by
planting," write this in,
00:39:57.78\00:39:59.75
"another tree of
life." Hallelujah.
00:39:59.78\00:40:03.89
Not in the garden this time,
00:40:03.92\00:40:05.33
this tree planted
just outside the garden
00:40:05.36\00:40:08.27
and up the hill called Calvary.
00:40:08.30\00:40:10.21
And on that tree
this God did what?
00:40:10.24\00:40:12.41
He has decree we shall not do.
00:40:12.44\00:40:16.01
He went back. He went back.
00:40:16.04\00:40:19.28
He went back to the very
first sin you ever committed,
00:40:19.31\00:40:21.61
He went back to
my very first sin
00:40:21.64\00:40:23.27
and He took all of our
sins from the very beginning
00:40:23.30\00:40:26.20
and He board in His own body
00:40:26.23\00:40:28.05
and He buried those sins
00:40:28.08\00:40:30.01
on the top of the
mountain called Calvary.
00:40:30.04\00:40:32.22
Hallelujah.
00:40:32.25\00:40:34.33
That's the point
of the ancient prophet
00:40:34.36\00:40:36.91
and a little minor prophet Micah
00:40:36.94\00:40:39.32
that now be let us in
reading just a moment ago.
00:40:39.35\00:40:42.67
Scribble this down in
your study guild please.
00:40:42.70\00:40:44.80
This New Year
Scripture who--Micah 7:18, 19.
00:40:44.83\00:40:48.38
"Who is a God like
you, pardoning iniquity
00:40:48.41\00:40:51.20
and passing over
the transgression
00:40:51.23\00:40:52.80
of the remnant of His heritage?
00:40:52.83\00:40:54.43
He does not
retain His anger forever,
00:40:54.46\00:40:56.70
because He delights in mercy.
00:40:56.73\00:40:59.40
He will again
have compassion on us,
00:40:59.43\00:41:01.99
and will subdue our iniquities."
00:41:02.02\00:41:03.79
And here it
comes and I love this.
00:41:03.82\00:41:05.79
"You will cast" and this is
the key word "All" write it in.
00:41:05.82\00:41:11.53
"You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea."
00:41:11.56\00:41:17.57
Every shred of evidence
from the past, hallelujah,
00:41:17.60\00:41:22.35
has been buried at Calvary.
00:41:22.38\00:41:24.86
Ladies and gentlemen,
that is the everlasting gospel.
00:41:24.89\00:41:26.98
Do you understand that
when Jesus died on the cross
00:41:27.01\00:41:29.26
God forgave the entire
human race, pardon the race,
00:41:29.29\00:41:32.00
acquitted every
sinner to ever be born?
00:41:32.03\00:41:34.33
That's the
everlasting Gospel, buried.
00:41:34.36\00:41:37.39
And because He buried it,
God through Isaiah cries out.
00:41:37.42\00:41:40.89
You got to write this down.
00:41:40.92\00:41:42.03
Isaiah 43:25 God cries out
00:41:42.06\00:41:44.45
"I even I, am He who blots out
00:41:44.48\00:41:47.59
your
transgressions for My own sake,
00:41:47.62\00:41:49.66
and I will not
remember" write that down.
00:41:49.69\00:41:52.81
"I will not remember, I
will not remember your sins."
00:41:52.84\00:41:59.57
Hallelujah.
00:41:59.60\00:42:02.02
I will not remember your sins.
00:42:02.05\00:42:06.44
Hallelujah.
00:42:06.47\00:42:08.68
You know what that
means, ladies and gentlemen.
00:42:08.71\00:42:11.89
If He offers to bury our sins
00:42:11.92\00:42:15.84
and to remember them no more
00:42:15.87\00:42:19.50
then surely He must be
inviting us to do the same.
00:42:19.53\00:42:22.49
Don't you supposed
He wants us do the same?
00:42:22.52\00:42:25.73
For each others sins by
the way, for each others.
00:42:25.76\00:42:29.89
This New Year for God
sake quit remembering her sins,
00:42:29.92\00:42:35.91
quit remembering his sins.
00:42:35.94\00:42:40.05
It's been buried. It's gone.
00:42:40.08\00:42:44.68
How many
marriages have been buried
00:42:44.71\00:42:48.33
because one or the other or both
of them have refused to forget?
00:42:48.36\00:42:55.48
And by the way, not
only the sins of others,
00:42:55.51\00:42:57.74
it has to mean I
have been given freedom
00:42:57.77\00:43:00.65
to quit remembering my own sins.
00:43:00.68\00:43:04.23
If God says hey,
boy, I've taken your sins
00:43:04.26\00:43:05.76
and I've buried them
in the depths of the sea
00:43:05.79\00:43:07.46
and I remember them no more,
00:43:07.49\00:43:08.76
I'm sure that
that is license for me
00:43:08.79\00:43:11.61
to remember them no more.
00:43:11.64\00:43:13.97
If God has buried
them in the depths of sea
00:43:17.19\00:43:19.21
should we not just leave
them there and forgot it.
00:43:19.24\00:43:22.51
Come on.
00:43:22.54\00:43:26.44
Which I must warn you
00:43:26.47\00:43:28.72
that leaving and forgetting
00:43:28.75\00:43:30.00
is more than a wishful
prayer and wishful thinking.
00:43:30.03\00:43:33.06
And here's what I have learned
and I'm still working on it.
00:43:33.09\00:43:39.48
It requires,
listen carefully now,
00:43:39.51\00:43:42.43
this could be the
key for you in 2007.
00:43:42.46\00:43:45.41
It requires the
intentional act of the will,
00:43:45.44\00:43:50.64
the mind, and the heart.
00:43:50.67\00:43:52.24
You have to choose.
00:43:52.27\00:43:53.64
Would you write that down?
00:43:53.67\00:43:54.70
We must choose to forget.
00:43:54.73\00:44:01.05
Just like a mighty sinner
turn saint what's his name?
00:44:01.08\00:44:04.24
Paul.
00:44:04.27\00:44:05.30
Paul who cries
out Philippians 3:13.
00:44:05.33\00:44:07.67
Jot it down "This one
thing I do, forgetting."
00:44:07.70\00:44:11.26
I want you to see
that word forgetting,
00:44:11.29\00:44:13.32
the verse
forgetting this one thing I do,
00:44:13.35\00:44:16.73
forgetting that which is behind,
00:44:16.76\00:44:18.84
re-passed and
reaching forward on to that
00:44:18.87\00:44:21.44
which is ahead re-future
I have chosen to forgive
00:44:21.47\00:44:24.83
and forget, I
have chosen to forget
00:44:24.86\00:44:30.36
because to live
without the pain of the past
00:44:30.39\00:44:33.41
is an intentional choice.
00:44:33.44\00:44:36.64
And I got to tell you this.
00:44:36.67\00:44:39.08
Listen carefully, it's a choice
00:44:39.11\00:44:41.73
you will have to intentionally
make every day of your life.
00:44:41.76\00:44:48.21
Which means the next time
that demon comes to your mind
00:44:53.46\00:44:57.31
He knows where
your conscience is,
00:44:57.34\00:44:59.74
he knows all about your mind,
00:44:59.77\00:45:01.08
he knows every
hot button you own.
00:45:01.11\00:45:03.08
The next time that
demon comes to your mind
00:45:03.11\00:45:05.53
and he says. I
want to remind you,
00:45:05.56\00:45:08.09
I want to remind you
about that little fall part
00:45:08.12\00:45:11.55
that was huge and he
cites chapter and verse.
00:45:11.58\00:45:17.52
By the way, let me
hit the pause button.
00:45:17.55\00:45:18.87
If you have
confessed and forsaken your sin
00:45:21.01\00:45:25.24
trust me it will
not be God coming to you
00:45:25.27\00:45:29.23
and reminding you of the past.
00:45:29.26\00:45:31.30
Haven't we just read
that He buries it in that--
00:45:31.33\00:45:33.28
He remembers it no more?
00:45:33.31\00:45:35.48
If you have confessed
and forsaken your sin--
00:45:35.51\00:45:37.61
let me hit the
pause button again.
00:45:37.64\00:45:39.33
If you have not confessed,
00:45:39.36\00:45:42.35
if there is something you
are carrying into the New Year
00:45:42.38\00:45:46.14
that better be confessed,
then it isn't a demon,
00:45:46.17\00:45:52.12
because he don't
want that confessed.
00:45:52.15\00:45:54.76
That would be
your forever friend
00:45:54.79\00:45:56.64
who saying there is
a little something here
00:45:56.67\00:45:58.31
between you and me
and a wonderful New Year.
00:45:58.34\00:46:01.43
I need you to let
go over it come to me.
00:46:01.46\00:46:04.03
If we confess
our sins I'm faithful
00:46:04.06\00:46:05.52
and just to
forgive you your sins
00:46:05.55\00:46:07.05
and to cleanse you
from all unrighteous
00:46:07.08\00:46:08.29
just give it to me, I'll
take it away and bury it,
00:46:08.32\00:46:10.92
I'll never remember,
I'll never bring it up again,
00:46:10.95\00:46:12.89
but you have to give
it to me the first time.
00:46:12.92\00:46:16.55
Assuming that
you've already done that.
00:46:16.58\00:46:19.71
If that voice comes to you
00:46:19.74\00:46:23.62
then you know from
whence that voice comes
00:46:23.65\00:46:25.60
three sources,
could be the demon,
00:46:25.63\00:46:29.70
or I can tell you this
00:46:29.73\00:46:30.76
'cause the demon doesn't always
know what's going on your mind.
00:46:30.79\00:46:32.55
It can be number two,
an untutored conscience
00:46:32.58\00:46:35.44
that is still attempting.
00:46:35.47\00:46:37.30
Number three, self-medication.
00:46:37.33\00:46:39.08
I'm trying to get
this taken care on my own.
00:46:39.11\00:46:42.83
Either way you
must do what Paul did.
00:46:42.86\00:46:45.50
I want to tell you something
if you want to talk about
00:46:45.53\00:46:47.11
somebody who had
about the worst memories
00:46:47.14\00:46:49.46
any Christian could
have and it was with him
00:46:49.49\00:46:52.28
his whole life, it
was the Apostle Paul.
00:46:52.31\00:46:54.03
Write this down, will you?
00:46:54.06\00:46:55.09
It's right there,
it's in your study guide.
00:46:55.12\00:46:56.31
1 Timothy 1:15 this is a sure
saying worthy of acceptance.
00:46:56.34\00:47:01.12
"Christ Jesus
came into the world
00:47:01.15\00:47:03.32
to save sinners of
whom I am the worst."
00:47:03.35\00:47:07.21
Write it in, the worst.
00:47:07.24\00:47:10.97
So the next time that
demon comes to you and says
00:47:11.00\00:47:12.71
boy, girl, I remember
something about you, don't I?
00:47:12.74\00:47:18.06
You declare to
that demon Christ Jesus.
00:47:18.09\00:47:21.04
Yes, you remember.
00:47:21.07\00:47:22.10
Oh, thank you for
reminding me of the gospel.
00:47:22.13\00:47:23.92
Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners
00:47:23.95\00:47:25.99
and I want to tell
you something demon
00:47:26.33\00:47:27.76
I am the worst
of them so bug off.
00:47:27.79\00:47:31.40
I got covered by
that tree of life.
00:47:31.43\00:47:34.07
And my past has been
buried and you may bring it up
00:47:34.10\00:47:36.53
I refuse to touch this.
00:47:36.56\00:47:38.96
You can take it with you to hell
00:47:38.99\00:47:42.41
because that's where He
sent the sins, all right.
00:47:44.96\00:47:49.79
Forgetting those
things which are behind.
00:47:49.82\00:47:55.19
You got to forget.
00:47:55.22\00:47:56.25
Ladies and gentlemen, it's
the good news of the gospel,
00:47:56.28\00:47:59.33
it's the choice of the gospel.
00:47:59.36\00:48:01.42
Listen to this, bad news,
00:48:01.45\00:48:04.42
bad news you cannot go back.
00:48:04.45\00:48:10.97
Good news, you
cannot go back. Hallelujah.
00:48:11.00\00:48:17.74
Can't go back, can't
go back and don't have to.
00:48:17.77\00:48:23.21
You never have to go back again
00:48:23.24\00:48:26.10
because the only
one who could did
00:48:26.13\00:48:30.97
and because He
did it's taken care of
00:48:31.00\00:48:35.21
that unrelenting conscience sin,
00:48:35.24\00:48:37.56
those
unforgiving memories God says
00:48:37.59\00:48:41.66
move them, I've already
buried that boy, leave it there.
00:48:41.69\00:48:47.38
Now here's a
little piece of dynamite
00:48:47.41\00:48:48.52
that I hope you keep forever.
00:48:48.55\00:48:52.38
That little book
Oswald Chambers book
00:48:52.41\00:48:54.39
My Utmost for His Highest.
00:48:54.42\00:48:56.63
My mother-in-law, it's
her birthday this weekend
00:48:56.66\00:48:58.59
so I can kind of brag about her
00:48:58.62\00:49:00.15
she is here in the
audience right now.
00:49:00.18\00:49:01.54
She gave me probably the most
00:49:01.57\00:49:04.53
impacting Christmas
gift I've ever received.
00:49:04.56\00:49:06.67
She gave it to me
back in Christmas in 1987.
00:49:06.70\00:49:09.56
I've read it ever year
since except for the year 1991
00:49:09.59\00:49:12.72
which now I read it in 1991.
00:49:12.75\00:49:15.52
It is a great book,
Oswald Chambers New Year prayer.
00:49:15.55\00:49:19.27
It's in your study guide,
00:49:19.30\00:49:20.33
you keep your study
guide just for this.
00:49:20.36\00:49:22.14
I want to read
it out loud to you.
00:49:22.17\00:49:24.05
God's hand, Oh,
this is something,
00:49:24.08\00:49:25.83
"God's hand
reaches back to the past
00:49:25.86\00:49:29.36
and makes a
clearing-house for conscience."
00:49:29.39\00:49:32.26
Isn't that great?
00:49:32.29\00:49:34.78
"God's hand
reaches back to the past
00:49:34.81\00:49:36.28
and makes a
clearing-house for conscience.
00:49:36.31\00:49:38.33
It is true that we
have lost opportunities
00:49:38.36\00:49:42.44
which will never return."
00:49:42.47\00:49:44.25
Yep, can't change that fact.
00:49:44.28\00:49:48.34
"But God can transform
this destructive anxiety
00:49:48.37\00:49:53.98
into a constructive
thoughtfulness for the future."
00:49:54.01\00:49:57.43
And now here comes, I love this.
00:49:57.46\00:49:59.21
"Let the past sleep, but let
it sleep on the bosom of Christ.
00:49:59.24\00:50:04.80
Leave the Irreparable
Past in His hands, and step out
00:50:04.83\00:50:08.69
into the
Irresistible Future with Him."
00:50:08.72\00:50:15.25
Isn't that dynamite,
forgetting those things
00:50:15.28\00:50:19.72
which are behind.
00:50:19.75\00:50:23.84
All right, remember
your transgressions no more
00:50:23.87\00:50:26.77
I have buried
them, I have buried them
00:50:26.80\00:50:30.18
in the depths of the sea.
00:50:30.21\00:50:31.77
I was visiting a few days
ago with one of our members
00:50:35.18\00:50:37.08
whose parent has Alzheimer's.
00:50:37.11\00:50:40.73
Can't remember,
you know, Alzheimer's,
00:50:40.76\00:50:42.03
everybody knows Alzheimer's.
00:50:42.06\00:50:43.09
Now, can't remember.
00:50:43.12\00:50:45.05
My dad had a
similar form of dementia.
00:50:45.08\00:50:48.17
But I'm gonna say this and I
hope I'm not misunderstood here.
00:50:48.20\00:50:52.45
I'm gonna say that the
upside of memories lost
00:50:52.48\00:50:55.02
is the absence of pain
associated with those memories.
00:50:55.05\00:50:59.00
If you can't
remember the pain is gone
00:50:59.03\00:51:02.12
from that memory.
00:51:02.15\00:51:03.18
Dispose that's why
God allows our pain
00:51:06.03\00:51:08.72
over the past
in the first place.
00:51:08.75\00:51:10.92
Not to keep driving
us back, back, back.
00:51:10.95\00:51:12.65
God knows we can't go back,
00:51:12.68\00:51:13.90
He not gonna drive us back,
00:51:13.93\00:51:15.06
no, no, no, no but
rather to compel us
00:51:15.09\00:51:17.95
through that
attendant pain to seek Him
00:51:17.98\00:51:20.36
who by healing our
past can fade the memories
00:51:20.39\00:51:23.94
and sooth away the pain.
00:51:23.97\00:51:26.79
I tell you what?
00:51:26.82\00:51:27.85
Maybe those scientists in
the journal Nature were right.
00:51:27.88\00:51:30.85
And pain is good if
it leads us to help.
00:51:30.88\00:51:37.40
Capital H, Help.
00:51:37.43\00:51:41.10
Well, I have buried your
sins in the depths of the sea
00:51:41.13\00:51:45.63
and I will remember
them, halleluiah, no more.
00:51:45.66\00:51:52.46
I don't suppose
God has Alzheimer's.
00:51:52.49\00:51:57.59
But whatever He
has I hope He keeps it.
00:51:57.62\00:52:02.16
And I'd like to
have it to this New Year.
00:52:02.19\00:52:05.10
Wouldn't you?
00:52:05.13\00:52:07.28
Oh, Father, it
is an Alzheimer's,
00:52:07.31\00:52:11.44
it is a heart that
loves your children
00:52:11.47\00:52:13.23
so much including Adam and Eve
00:52:13.26\00:52:18.99
that You have made provision
00:52:19.02\00:52:22.44
to get back to
where we cannot go back to
00:52:22.47\00:52:26.23
and because You've
planted that other tree of life
00:52:26.26\00:52:30.06
and took all of our sins
00:52:30.09\00:52:32.76
and buried them at the
foot of the cross, oh, Father.
00:52:32.79\00:52:37.88
No wonder they call it mercy,
00:52:37.91\00:52:41.92
no wonder we speak of grace.
00:52:41.95\00:52:47.52
Oh, God, freely
we have received,
00:52:47.55\00:52:50.62
freely let us give to others
00:52:50.65\00:52:54.34
who need our
forgetter and to ourselves
00:52:54.37\00:52:58.25
we need the
forgetter most of all
00:52:58.28\00:53:02.48
You have buried our
sins and You will remember
00:53:02.51\00:53:05.09
our transgressions
no more as with joy
00:53:05.12\00:53:10.39
we go for with you into
this journey uncharted. Amen.
00:53:10.42\00:53:16.74
Is this a day of new beginnings
00:53:52.32\00:53:58.81
Time to remember and move on
00:53:58.84\00:54:04.43
Time to believe
what love is bringing
00:54:04.46\00:54:11.09
Laying to rest
the pain that's gone?
00:54:11.12\00:54:17.66
How can the seasons of a planet
00:54:20.19\00:54:25.97
Mindlessly
spinning round its sun
00:54:26.00\00:54:33.08
With just a
human name and number
00:54:33.11\00:54:39.25
Say that some
new thing has begun?
00:54:39.28\00:54:46.00
Yet thro' the
life and death of Jesus
00:54:48.37\00:54:55.04
Love's mighty
Spirit, now as then
00:54:55.07\00:55:01.64
Can make for us a
world of difference
00:55:01.67\00:55:09.11
As faith and hope are born again
00:55:09.14\00:55:14.20
Then let us, with
the Spirit's daring
00:55:18.06\00:55:24.46
Step from the
past and leave behind
00:55:24.49\00:55:31.19
Its disappointment,
guilt and grieving
00:55:31.22\00:55:38.49
Seeking new
paths, and sure to find
00:55:38.52\00:55:45.03
Christ is alive,
and goes before us
00:55:47.55\00:55:53.71
To show and
share what love can do
00:55:53.74\00:55:59.85
This is a day of new beginnings
00:55:59.88\00:56:06.98
Our God is making all things new
00:56:07.01\00:56:14.48
And now onto Him
00:56:23.44\00:56:25.54
who is able to
keep us from falling
00:56:25.57\00:56:29.58
and to present
us before His throne
00:56:29.61\00:56:31.34
with great joy
to the only wise God
00:56:31.37\00:56:35.61
our Savior be glory and
majesty dominion and power
00:56:35.64\00:56:39.62
both now and forever more. Amen.
00:56:39.65\00:56:44.72
Before you go I wanted to take
00:57:05.35\00:57:06.61
one more moment to let you know.
00:57:06.64\00:57:07.99
How glad I am you

00:57:08.02\00:57:09.93
and Bible teachings with us.
00:57:09.96\00:57:12.20
Living in the
world that we do now,
00:57:12.23\00:57:13.65
a civilization
surviving on the edge
00:57:13.68\00:57:15.43
of constant prevailing change.
00:57:15.46\00:57:18.02
I'm grateful that
we have the bedrock
00:57:18.05\00:57:19.59
hope of Jesus, aren't you?
00:57:19.62\00:57:21.12
