00:01:32.53\00:01:34.70
HE'S THE CAMPUS
CHAPLAIN AT WEIMAR COLLEGE.
00:01:34.70\00:01:37.66
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US, DON.
00:01:37.66\00:01:40.30
>>GOOD EVENING, FRIENDS.
HOW ARE YOU THIS EVENING?
00:01:40.30\00:01:42.96
YOU READY TO STUDY THE WORD?
AND WE'RE LOOKING TOGETHER AT
00:01:42.96\00:01:47.10
PROVERBS AND, YOU KNOW,
IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS.
00:01:47.10\00:01:51.00
IN FACT, UP THERE AT WEIMAR, AS
THE CHAPLAIN, ONE OF THE THINGS
00:01:51.00\00:01:54.40
I DO IS I WORK WITH THE NEDLEY
DEPRESSION RECOVERY PROGRAM AND
00:01:54.40\00:01:57.63
WE USE THE PROVERBS - IT'S PART
OF OUR - OUR THERAPY BECAUSE, AS
00:01:57.63\00:02:02.80
WE STUDY THE
PROVERBS IT MAKES US THINK.
00:02:02.80\00:02:05.26
USUALLY THERE'S PARALLELISMS
AND PEOPLE THEN BEGIN TO LOOK AT
00:02:05.26\00:02:09.00
THOSE AND THEIR MIND ACTUALLY
WAKES UP. SO I'M DELIGHTED TO BE
00:02:09.00\00:02:13.20
ASKED TO BE HERE WITH YOU FOR
THIS STUDY TIME. OUR STUDY THIS
00:02:13.20\00:02:17.00
TIME IS FOUND IN PROVERBS
CHAPTERS 17, 18, AND 19.
00:02:17.00\00:02:21.53
AND, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW,
THE PROVERBS ARE SO - WHILE THEY
00:02:21.53\00:02:25.90
MIGHT SEEM SCATTERED - YOU MIGHT
SAY THAT'S A KIND WAY TO PUT IT.
00:02:25.90\00:02:29.80
YOU KNOW, IT MOVES FROM ONE
THOUGHT TO THE OTHER AND SO MY
00:02:29.80\00:02:32.83
OLD SEMINARY PROFESSOR, WHO
WROTE THESE LESSONS, JACQUES
00:02:32.83\00:02:36.86
DOUKHAN, DR. DOUKHAN, HAS CHOSEN
SOME THEMES THAT HE FOCUSES IN
00:02:36.86\00:02:41.23
ON AS WE GO THROUGH THESE
CHAPTERS AND LESSON #7, THE
00:02:41.23\00:02:46.03
TITLE IS DEALING WITH
FIGHTS . DEALING WITH FIGHTS.
00:02:46.03\00:02:50.43
NOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER
BEEN IN A FIGHT? ALRIGHT, I'M
00:02:50.43\00:02:53.86
GLAD THOSE CAMERAS ARE CATCHING
ALL THOSE HANDS BECAUSE WE'VE
00:02:53.86\00:02:56.80
FOUND THE PEOPLE THAT RAISE
THEIR HANDS AND THE OTHER PEOPLE
00:02:56.80\00:02:59.16
THAT DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT
THAT THEY'VE BEEN IN A FIGHT.
00:02:59.16\00:03:02.40
SO DEALING WITH FIGHTS - AND OUR
MEMORY VERSE FOR TODAY IS TAKEN
00:03:02.40\00:03:06.80
FROM ACTUALLY THE FIRST VERSE OF
PROVERBS CHAPTER 17 - PROVERBS
00:03:06.80\00:03:13.46
CHAPTER 17, VERSE 1, AND I'M
USING THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION
00:03:13.46\00:03:18.20
TONIGHT. "BETTER
IS A DRY MORSEL WITH
00:03:18.20\00:03:21.63
QUIETNESS, THAN A HOUSE
FULL OF FEASTING WITH STRIFE."
00:03:21.63\00:03:26.23
IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S A LOT
BETTER TO NOT HAVE VERY GOOD
00:03:26.23\00:03:31.00
FOOD AROUND AND NOT, MAYBE,
EVEN HAVE AIR CONDITIONING
00:03:31.00\00:03:34.93
THAN TO BE IN A FIGHT
WITH SOMEBODY ELSE. YOU KNOW,
00:03:34.93\00:03:37.66
I LOOKED IT UP TONIGHT BEFORE
I CAME IN AND I WANTED TO KNOW
00:03:37.66\00:03:41.60
HOW MANY WARS AND CONFLICTS WERE
GOING ON RIGHT NOW, BESIDES THE
00:03:41.60\00:03:44.60
ONES I KNOW ABOUT, WHICH ARE
NOT THAT MANY, BUT THE NUMBER OF
00:03:44.60\00:03:47.86
COUNTRIES INVOLVED IN WARS
TONIGHT ARE 65 AND THE NUMBER OF
00:03:47.86\00:03:51.83
GROUPS THAT ARE FIGHTING WITH
ONE ANOTHER IN VARIOUS MILITIAS
00:03:51.83\00:03:54.90
AND WHATNOT -
610 DIFFERENT GROUPS.
00:03:54.90\00:03:58.30
THOSE ARE MAJOR CONFLICTS.
BUT THEN SOME PEOPLE YOU KNOW
00:03:58.30\00:04:01.33
HAVE CONFLICTS
IN THEIR OWN HOMES.
00:04:01.33\00:04:04.50
I KNOW SOME PEOPLE TONIGHT ARE
IN THE MIDST OF A FIGHT AND I'M
00:04:04.50\00:04:07.80
PRAYING, AND I KNOW WE ARE HERE,
THAT AS WE STUDY GOD'S WORD IT
00:04:07.80\00:04:11.66
WILL NOT JUST BE SOMETHING WE
STUDY, BUT IT ACTUALLY CAN BRING
00:04:11.66\00:04:15.36
HEALING AND LIFE INTO
HEARTS AND HOMES TONIGHT.
00:04:15.36\00:04:18.53
>>AMEN. >>SO
LET'S PRAY THAT THAT
00:04:18.53\00:04:20.53
HAPPENS. YOU KNOW,
ANOTHER VERSE IN PROVERBS
00:04:20.53\00:04:23.70
CHAPTER 15, VERSE 17 - "HOLY
LOVE, FOUND IN A COTTAGE IS
00:04:23.70\00:04:29.30
BETTER THAN THE MOST LUXURIOUS
FEAST IN THE PLACES OF STRIFE."
00:04:29.30\00:04:33.63
SO THIS IDEA OF, YOU KNOW,
FIGHTS AND - I MIGHT JUST SAY
00:04:33.63\00:04:39.03
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, BECAUSE
THE LESSON WAS NOT REALLY
00:04:39.03\00:04:42.53
BRINGING THIS VERSE OUT, BUT I'M
GOING TO SAY IT JUST TO START
00:04:42.53\00:04:46.30
OUT. BECAUSE
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS
00:04:46.30\00:04:47.96
BUILD LIKE A PROFILE OF
HOW TO DEAL WITH FIGHTS, OKAY?
00:04:47.96\00:04:51.70
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO DO TONIGHT.
00:04:51.70\00:04:53.00
I HAVE SEVEN DIFFERENT POINTS
THAT, HOPEFULLY, ARE TAKEN FROM
00:04:53.00\00:04:56.23
THE LESSON, OKAY? AND
I'VE EVEN WORKED WITH THE
00:04:56.23\00:05:00.13
LESSON A LITTLE MORE THAN MY OLD
PROFESSOR JACQUES DOUKHAN, SO I
00:05:00.13\00:05:04.03
KNOW HE'LL FORGIVE ME
AND YOU'LL FOLLOW ALONG.
00:05:04.03\00:05:05.60
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT
TO SAY BEFORE I EVEN SAY WHAT
00:05:05.60\00:05:07.76
I'M GOING TO SAY IS THE BEST
THING TO DO WITH A FIGHT IS TO
00:05:07.76\00:05:12.56
AVOID A FIGHT. >>AMEN.
00:05:12.56\00:05:14.33
>>SO CHAPTER 17, VERSE 14,
"THE BEGINNING OF STRIFE IS LIKE
00:05:14.33\00:05:19.73
RELEASING" - WHAT
DOES IT SAY? >>WATER.
00:05:19.73\00:05:21.96
>>"WATER;" - NOW HAVE YOU
EVER TRIED TO RELEASE WATER?
00:05:21.96\00:05:24.93
IT'S LIKE, 'OKAY, I'M JUST GOING
TO LET A LITTLE BIT GO.' YEAH,
00:05:24.93\00:05:28.53
MY SON WHO'S FIVE YEARS OLD, HE
TRIED THAT THE OTHER NIGHT AND
00:05:28.53\00:05:31.36
WE HAD TO CLEAN UP ALL KINDS OF
STUFF. SO SOMETIMES YOU THINK,
00:05:31.36\00:05:35.50
'YOU KNOW, I'LL
JUST HAVE A LITTLE FIGHT.
00:05:35.50\00:05:37.23
WE'LL JUST - WE'LL GET THIS OVER
WITH AND THEN WE'LL JUST MOVE
00:05:37.23\00:05:40.83
ON.' YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT THEY
THOUGHT BACK IN THE CIVIL WAR.
00:05:40.83\00:05:44.36
THEY THOUGHT, 'YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:05:44.36\00:05:45.23
WE'LL JUST
START THIS LITTLE WAR.
00:05:45.23\00:05:46.73
THESE PEOPLE ARE CAUSING SOME
PROBLEMS IN VARIOUS STATES' -
00:05:46.73\00:05:51.06
AND I DON'T WANT TO START
ANOTHER WAR BY TALKING ABOUT
00:05:51.06\00:05:52.60
NORTH VERSUS SOUTH, BUT MAYBE
YOU GUYS CAN FIGURE THAT OUT.
00:05:52.60\00:05:55.26
AND, YOU KNOW, AND THEY SAID,
'IT WON'T TAKE VERY LONG.' AND
00:05:55.26\00:05:59.20
ALL THE NEWSPAPERS AND ALL THE
DIFFERENT ARTICLES CAME OUT AND
00:05:59.20\00:06:02.20
THEY SAID, 'THIS WILL BE A
VERY SHORT CONTEST. IF PRESIDENT
00:06:02.20\00:06:06.36
LINCOLN KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING,
THIS WILL BE A MATTER OF DAYS.
00:06:06.36\00:06:09.63
IT WILL BE JUST BY BLOCKADE
AT SEA.' BUT YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
00:06:09.63\00:06:14.56
HOW MANY PEOPLE
DIED IN THE CIVIL WAR?
00:06:14.56\00:06:17.80
MORE THAN ANY OTHER WAR WE'VE
EVER HAD, ALMOST ALL COMBINED.
00:06:17.80\00:06:21.30
620,000 PEOPLE
- 50,000 AMPUTEES.
00:06:21.30\00:06:25.53
YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS - AND SOME
PEOPLE - I REMEMBER READING THE
00:06:25.53\00:06:28.93
ACCOUNTS OF THE FIRST BATTLE.
THEY WENT OUT AND SAID, 'WE'RE
00:06:28.93\00:06:31.43
JUST GOING TO WATCH THIS.
THEY BROUGHT THEIR PICNIC.
00:06:31.43\00:06:33.60
THEY THOUGHT, 'OH, THIS WILL
JUST BE A, YOU KNOW, GOOD LITTLE
00:06:33.60\00:06:35.93
FIGHT.' AND THEN
ALL THOSE PEOPLE DIED.
00:06:35.93\00:06:38.93
CERTAINLY THE PROVERB IS TRUE:
"THE BEGINNING OF STRIFE IS LIKE
00:06:38.93\00:06:41.70
RELEASING WATER; THEREFORE
STOP CONTENTION BEFORE A QUARREL
00:06:41.70\00:06:46.83
STARTS." HOW MANY
OF YOU THINK THAT'S
00:06:46.83\00:06:49.40
PRETTY GOOD ADVICE? >>AMEN.
00:06:49.40\00:06:51.06
>>SO, BACK TO OUR FIRST VERSE,
THOUGH, PROVERBS CHAPTER 17 WITH
00:06:51.06\00:06:55.73
1 - VERSE 1, "BETTER IS A DRY
MORSEL WITH QUIETNESS, THAN A
00:06:55.73\00:06:59.53
HOUSE FULL OF
FEASTING WITH STRIFE."
00:06:59.53\00:07:01.33
YOU KNOW, RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD
FROM HERE, AND I LIVED WITHIN
00:07:01.33\00:07:03.96
MILES OF HERE FOR A NUMBER
OF YEARS, THERE'S A CASINO.
00:07:03.96\00:07:09.33
AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF CASINOS
IN THE WORLD - I ACTUALLY LOOKED
00:07:09.33\00:07:12.60
UP HOW MANY CASINOS THERE ARE
TOO IN THE VARIOUS COUNTRIES.
00:07:12.60\00:07:15.40
NOT THAT I WAS, YOU KNOW,
LOOKING TO VISIT THE CASINOS,
00:07:15.40\00:07:18.70
JUST FOR TONIGHT'S BLESSING.
AND IN THE CASINOS - YOU KNOW
00:07:18.70\00:07:21.46
HOW MANY CASINOS
THERE ARE IN NORTH AMERICA?
00:07:21.46\00:07:25.53
IT'S ACTUALLY MORE THAN
ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
00:07:25.53\00:07:27.16
THERE'S 1623
CASINOS IN THIS COUNTRY.
00:07:27.16\00:07:32.10
THE NEXT LARGEST COUNTRY -
OR BLOCK - THAT HAS CASINOS IS
00:07:32.10\00:07:35.90
WESTERN EUROPE WITH ONLY 682.
WE HAVE A THOUSAND MORE - IN
00:07:35.90\00:07:39.86
THIS COUNTRY WE ARE
LIVING THIS PARTICULAR VERSE.
00:07:39.86\00:07:44.60
MOST OF US ARE NOT WITH A DRY
MORSEL WITH QUIETNESS, BUT MANY
00:07:44.60\00:07:48.43
OF US ARE A HOUSE FULL
OF FEASTING WITH STRIFE.
00:07:48.43\00:07:51.90
AND SOMETIMES THIS
ABUNDANCE REALLY HURTS US.
00:07:51.90\00:07:57.50
I MEAN, I REMEMBER I WAS TALKING
TO ONE OF THE PARAMEDICS WHO
00:07:57.50\00:08:00.43
WORKED IN THE CASINO DOWN HERE
AND HE SAID, 'I HAVE MORE CALLS
00:08:00.43\00:08:03.73
FOR DIABETIC REACTIONS, AND ALL
THESE DIFFERENT THINGS, AT THE
00:08:03.73\00:08:07.23
CASINO THAN I EVER HAD WHEN I
WAS OUT ON THE ROAD. PEOPLE WERE
00:08:07.23\00:08:11.46
JUST FEASTING AND IT WAS
CAUSING ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS.
00:08:11.46\00:08:13.73
BUT I WANTED TO MENTION THIS:
YOU KNOW, MANY TIMES WE THINK IF
00:08:13.73\00:08:16.36
WE JUST GET ALL THIS
MONEY EVERYTHING WOULD BE GOOD.
00:08:16.36\00:08:21.16
IF WE WOULD JUST BE IN THE LAST
PART OF THAT VERSE - WE HAVE
00:08:21.16\00:08:24.26
FEASTING AND WE
HAVE EVERYTHING WE WANT.
00:08:24.26\00:08:26.93
YOU KNOW, WE THINK, 'OUR
LIFE WOULD BE SO GREAT.' BUT YOU
00:08:26.93\00:08:31.60
PROBABLY ARE FAMILIAR WITH
THE STUDIES ON MILLIONAIRES AND
00:08:31.60\00:08:34.13
THOSE THAT WIN THE LOTTERY AND
CASINOS, MOST OF THEM EITHER DIE
00:08:34.13\00:08:38.56
OR HAVE TERRIBLE
THINGS HAPPEN VERY RAPIDLY.
00:08:38.56\00:08:41.50
ONE LADY WAS WRITING THIS:
"MY LIFE IS IN SHAMBLES AND
00:08:41.50\00:08:43.86
HOPEFULLY NOW THAT ALL I HAVE IS
GONE, I'LL FIND SOME HAPPINESS.
00:08:43.86\00:08:49.66
IT BROUGHT ME NOTHING BUT
UNHAPPINESS. IT RUINED MY LIFE."
00:08:49.66\00:08:53.80
SHE WON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND
SHE WAS JUST SO HAPPY WHEN IT
00:08:53.80\00:08:55.96
WAS ALL GONE BECAUSE SHE
SAID, 'MAN, THIS IS - THIS IS
00:08:55.96\00:09:00.56
TERRIBLE.' BY THE WAY, YOU
KNOW YOU CAN'T WIN A CASINO
00:09:00.56\00:09:04.00
ANONYMOUSLY, EXCEPT FOR MAYBE
JUST A FEW OF THEM, BECAUSE THEY
00:09:04.00\00:09:06.70
WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT YOU
WON SO THEY GO ON THE TELEVISION
00:09:06.70\00:09:09.33
AND THEY SAY, 'LOOK, YOU KNOW,
KAREN WON 50 MILLION DOLLARS.
00:09:09.33\00:09:13.10
GIVE HER A CALL.' AND
THAT'S - HER LIFE IS OVER.
00:09:13.10\00:09:16.56
HER LIFE IS OVER. SO CERTAINLY
TRUE OF THE MEMORY VERSE.
00:09:16.56\00:09:21.70
SO LET'S GO THEN TO THE LESSON
FOR SUNDAY, SINS AND FRIENDS .
00:09:21.70\00:09:27.53
I THINK THAT, KIND OF, ALMOST
RHYMED A BIT BUT I HOPE THAT
00:09:27.53\00:09:30.56
DOESN'T WORK WITH YOUR
FRIENDS - SINS AND FRIENDS .
00:09:30.56\00:09:32.53
LET'S LOOK AT THE VERSES FOR
THAT PARTICULAR DAY AND I LIKE
00:09:32.53\00:09:35.90
THIS. I WANT TO TEACH YOU A
NEW WORD, IT'S CALLED 'OLAT.'
00:09:35.90\00:09:39.10
CAN YOU SAY 'OLAT?' >>OLAT.
00:09:39.10\00:09:41.50
>>THAT'S AN ACRONYM THAT
CALLS - THAT MEANS 'OVERLOOK A
00:09:41.50\00:09:44.53
TRANSGRESSION.' OKAY?
00:09:44.53\00:09:45.93
SO YOU'VE GOT TO
LEARN HOW TO OLAT.
00:09:45.93\00:09:47.56
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE
GOING ALONG - OLAT.
00:09:47.56\00:09:50.23
SO LET'S LOOK AT THE VERSE
AND THEN WE'LL LOOK AT - AND I'M
00:09:50.23\00:09:53.13
GOING TO LOOK AT PROVERBS
CHAPTER 19, VERSE 11 FIRST HERE,
00:09:53.13\00:09:59.90
"THE DISCRETION OF A MAN" - 19
VERSE 11 - IF YOU'RE THERE WITH
00:09:59.90\00:10:06.20
ME - "THE DISCRETION OF A MAN
MAKES HIM SLOW TO ANGER, AND HIS
00:10:06.20\00:10:12.00
GLORY IS TO (OLAT)
OVERLOOK A TRANSGRESSION."
00:10:12.00\00:10:17.80
SO OVERLOOKING A TRANSGRESSION.
00:10:17.80\00:10:20.40
NOW THIS IS STEP NUMBER TWO
IN OUR LIST THAT WE'RE MAKING.
00:10:20.40\00:10:24.66
FIRST OF ALL,
AVOID A FIGHT IF YOU CAN.
00:10:24.66\00:10:26.30
NUMBER TWO: OLAT - NOW WHAT
DOES THAT MEAN 'TO OVERLOOK A
00:10:26.30\00:10:29.43
TRANSGRESSION?' WELL
LET'S GO THROUGH THE VERSE.
00:10:29.43\00:10:33.26
"THE DISCRETION OF A MAN MAKES
HIM SLOW TO ANGER," - YOU KNOW,
00:10:33.26\00:10:37.70
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TIMES
IN SCRIPTURE WHERE GOD IS - HIS
00:10:37.70\00:10:41.30
CHARACTER IS MENTIONED AND THIS
IS ONE OF HIS CHARACTERISTICS.
00:10:41.30\00:10:44.10
HE'S SLOW TO ANGER, RIGHT?
AND THIS IS KEY IN TERMS OF
00:10:44.10\00:10:52.53
DE-ESCALATING FIGHTS AND THE
DISCRETION OF A MAN - ACTUALLY,
00:10:52.53\00:10:57.20
THE WORD THERE IS 'THE WISDOM'
OR 'THE GOOD SENSE' OF A MAN IS
00:10:57.20\00:11:03.93
SOMETHING THAT
MAKES HIM SLOW TO ANGER.
00:11:03.93\00:11:06.96
IT IS HIS GLORY TO
OVERLOOK A TRANSGRESSION.
00:11:06.96\00:11:10.83
NOW THAT WORD 'GLORY' LITERALLY
MEANS 'BEAUTY.' WHEN YOU SEE
00:11:10.83\00:11:13.56
SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T TAKE THE
BAIT - DOESN'T GET INTO A FIGHT
00:11:13.56\00:11:18.96
- AND RESISTS IT,
THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING.
00:11:18.96\00:11:23.20
I WISH I SAW THAT
MORE WITH MY KIDS.
00:11:23.20\00:11:25.66
AND WHEN I DO SEE IT, I'M
JUST LIKE, 'YOU KNOW WHAT?'
00:11:25.66\00:11:29.86
I'LL TELL MY - WELL, I WON'T
MENTION MY CHILDREN'S NAMES
00:11:29.86\00:11:32.83
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO START
ANOTHER FIGHT, BUT I'LL TELL THE
00:11:32.83\00:11:36.86
ONE THAT DID IT,
I'LL SAY, 'YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:11:36.86\00:11:38.43
THAT WAS A
BEAUTIFUL THING YOU DID THERE.
00:11:38.43\00:11:40.96
YOU DIDN'T - YOU
DIDN'T TAKE THE BAIT.'
00:11:40.96\00:11:44.50
YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS TELL MY
KIDS, 'COME AND TALK TO ME.
00:11:44.50\00:11:46.26
I'M THE ONE THAT IS
GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
00:11:46.26\00:11:50.30
VENGEANCE IS MINE.' NOW, OF
COURSE, VENGEANCE IS ACTUALLY
00:11:50.30\00:11:54.43
THE LORD'S. YOU
UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING.
00:11:54.43\00:11:56.36
BUT THIS IDEA OF HAVING THE
DISCRETION TO NOT ALWAYS GET
00:11:56.36\00:12:01.43
INTO A FIGHT - I REMEMBER ONCE
I WAS WALKING OVER IN VENICE.
00:12:01.43\00:12:04.23
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN
THERE - AND YOU'RE WALKING ALONG
00:12:04.23\00:12:07.50
AND THERE'S ALL THOSE WATERWAYS
AND WALKWAYS - AND THIS GUY WAS
00:12:07.50\00:12:10.63
JUST COMPLETELY - WELL, HE HAD
HAD TOO MUCH SAUCE AND IT WASN'T
00:12:10.63\00:12:14.00
THE SAUCE FROM HIS PIZZA - AND
HE WAS LOOKING FOR A FIGHT AND
00:12:14.00\00:12:18.43
HE CAME ALONG AND HE - HE, FOR
SOME REASON, HE JUST THOUGHT I
00:12:18.43\00:12:21.96
LOOKED LIKE SOMEBODY HE
SHOULD HAVE A FIGHT WITH.
00:12:21.96\00:12:25.16
AND MY WIFE SAID TO ME - AND
I THINK IT WAS ON OUR HONEYMOON,
00:12:25.16\00:12:28.50
SHE SAYS TO ME, 'WHAT ARE
YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT GUY?'
00:12:28.50\00:12:31.33
I SAID, 'LOOK, DON'T
EVEN LOOK AT THE GUY.
00:12:31.33\00:12:33.73
WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT HIM.'
SOMETIMES THE BEST THING IS JUST
00:12:33.73\00:12:38.10
TO OVERLOOK A TRANSGRESSION.
HE WAS USING FOUL LANGUAGE.
00:12:38.10\00:12:41.76
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT ME.
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT MY WIFE -
00:12:41.76\00:12:44.60
ON MY HONEYMOON! BUT
I KNEW THAT THAT GUY WAS
00:12:44.60\00:12:49.40
PROBABLY GOING TO HURT US AND
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET OUT OF
00:12:49.40\00:12:51.53
THERE SO JUST OVERLOOK IT.
NOW THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT A
00:12:51.53\00:12:54.73
TRANSGRESSION. NOTICE
THE TEXT - IT IS TO HIS
00:12:54.73\00:12:57.26
GLORY TO
OVERLOOK A TRANSGRESSION.
00:12:57.26\00:12:59.43
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE
NOT CALLING IT A TRANSGRESSION.
00:12:59.43\00:13:01.73
THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT
WRONG, BUT YOU'RE RECOGNIZING
00:13:01.73\00:13:04.80
THAT THAT'S NOT THE TIME
AND THAT'S NOT THE PLACE TO DEAL
00:13:04.80\00:13:08.10
WITH IT. THIS DOES
NOT MEAN THAT YOU'RE
00:13:08.10\00:13:09.90
MINIMIZING SIN. EVEN
CHRIST HIMSELF - REMEMBER
00:13:09.90\00:13:12.73
THE STORY, WHEN THEY WERE
FIGHTING OVER THE BODY OF MOSES
00:13:12.73\00:13:15.06
- OR THE DEVIL CAME
TO FIGHT OVER THE BODY?
00:13:15.06\00:13:17.86
HE SAID, 'LOOK,
THE LORD REBUKE YOU.
00:13:17.86\00:13:19.10
I'M NOT FIGHTING WITH YOU OVER
THAT.' THERE WAS A TIME AND A
00:13:19.10\00:13:22.03
PLACE. CHRIST
COULD HAVE COME DOWN OFF
00:13:22.03\00:13:23.70
THE CROSS BUT THERE WAS
A TIME AND A PLACE, AMEN?
00:13:23.70\00:13:26.73
SO WE HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT IS.
00:13:26.73\00:13:29.16
SO IT IS HIS BEAUTY TO
OVERLOOK A TRANSGRESSION.
00:13:29.16\00:13:32.53
AND, BY THE WAY, THAT WORD
'TRANSGRESSION' THERE IS NO
00:13:32.53\00:13:34.86
LIGHT WORD. IT'S
THE WORD 'PASHA, WHICH
00:13:34.86\00:13:37.40
MEANS 'REBELLION.' IT
IS A SERIOUS INFRACTION.
00:13:37.40\00:13:43.10
IT'S NOT LIKE, 'OKAY, I'M GOING
TO OVERLOOK IT BECAUSE, YOU
00:13:43.10\00:13:44.83
KNOW, HE JUST SPILLED WATER ON
MY FAVORITE SUIT.' NO, NO, NO,
00:13:44.83\00:13:47.46
NO, THIS IS
LIKE A TRANSGRESSION.
00:13:47.46\00:13:49.30
THE FACT IS, I REMEMBER, I CAN'T
- I MEAN, JACQUES DOUKHAN, MY
00:13:49.30\00:13:51.96
TEACHER, WATCHING - HE'S
PROBABLY GOING TO SAY 'NO!'
00:13:51.96\00:13:53.46
BUT I BELIEVE THAT WORD IS
RELATED TO SINS THAT WERE NOT
00:13:53.46\00:13:56.93
EVEN ABLE TO BE HANDLED
IN THE SANCTUARY ITSELF.
00:13:56.93\00:14:02.16
OVERLOOKING A TRANSGRESSION.
NOW DID THIS EVER HAPPEN IN THE
00:14:02.16\00:14:05.26
BIBLE? CAN YOU THINK OF
ANY EXAMPLES WHERE PEOPLE
00:14:05.26\00:14:07.83
OVERLOOKED A TRANSGRESSION?
I GAVE YOU A COUPLE.
00:14:07.83\00:14:10.46
BUT CAN YOU THINK OF ANY,
LIKE, BIG SINS THAT PEOPLE DID?
00:14:10.46\00:14:14.13
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A
HINT. A COAT OF MANY COLORS.
00:14:14.13\00:14:19.93
>>JOSEPH.
>>ALRIGHT, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT,
00:14:19.93\00:14:22.40
JOSEPH. DID HE
OVERLOOK TRANSGRESSION?
00:14:22.40\00:14:25.16
HIS BROTHERS CAME. THEY
HAD THROWN HIM IN A PIT.
00:14:25.16\00:14:27.50
HE HAD BEEN IN SLAVERY. HE
HAD BEEN THROUGH UNMITIGATED
00:14:27.50\00:14:30.10
HORROR AND THEN HIS BROTHERS
SHOW UP LOOKING FOR FOOD.
00:14:30.10\00:14:34.00
YOU KNOW, HOW MANY THINK
YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT
00:14:34.00\00:14:36.43
TEMPTED TO NOT OVERLOOK
THAT? NOW, YOU KNOW, HE DID MESS
00:14:36.43\00:14:40.50
AROUND A BIT WITH THEM TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY - YOU KNOW, HE
00:14:40.50\00:14:44.00
WANTED TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEIR
CHARACTER WAS AND WHAT - BUT
00:14:44.00\00:14:46.10
LARGELY
OVERLOOKED THE ENTIRE THING.
00:14:46.10\00:14:48.36
ANOTHER STORY IN THE BIBLE -
CAN YOU REMEMBER THIS GUY - YOU
00:14:48.36\00:14:50.86
REMEMBER DAVID WHEN HE WAS DOWN
AND OUT AND HE WAS WALKING ALONG
00:14:50.86\00:14:53.63
AND THERE WAS THIS GUY COMING
ALONG AND HE WAS THROWING ROCKS
00:14:53.63\00:14:55.66
AT HIM? REMEMBER THAT?
REMEMBER THAT GUY'S NAME?
00:14:55.66\00:14:57.90
>>SHIMEI. >>YES
THAT'S RIGHT, SHIMEI.
00:14:57.90\00:14:59.93
HE CAME ALONG AND HE WAS
THROWING ROCKS - IN FACT, I
00:14:59.93\00:15:03.20
THINK IT WAS, YOU KNOW, ONE OF
THE OFFICERS THERE NEXT TO DAVID
00:15:03.20\00:15:05.90
SAID, 'LOOK AT THIS' - I
THINK HE CALLED HIM A DOG -
00:15:05.90\00:15:08.40
'LOOK AT THIS DOG
THROWING STUFF AT YOU.
00:15:08.40\00:15:10.33
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?'
00:15:10.33\00:15:11.86
HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING.
HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:15:11.86\00:15:15.73
JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.' NOW I'VE
GOT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT,
00:15:15.73\00:15:19.16
THOUGH, YOU KNOW, HE SAID 'LEAVE
IT ALONE' BUT HIS SON SAID,
00:15:19.16\00:15:22.00
'SHIMEI, YOU LIVE IN THIS PART
OF THE CITY AND YOU DON'T LEAVE
00:15:22.00\00:15:25.03
THAT HOUSE BECAUSE WE'RE KEEPING
AN EYE ON YOU BECAUSE YOU THREW
00:15:25.03\00:15:27.33
A ROCK AT MY DAD.'
THIS WAS SOME YEARS LATER.
00:15:27.33\00:15:30.20
ONCE YOU'RE THROWING A ROCK
YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO ALWAYS
00:15:30.20\00:15:32.16
THROW ROCKS, SO
JUST STAY IN YOUR HOUSE.
00:15:32.16\00:15:33.83
AND THEN, YOU KNOW
- YOU KNOW THE STORY.
00:15:33.83\00:15:35.56
FINALLY ONE DAY HIS SERVANTS
ESCAPED AND HE WENT AFTER THEM
00:15:35.56\00:15:38.06
AND WHAT
HAPPENED? >>HE WAS KILLED.
00:15:38.06\00:15:40.70
>>SHIMEI WAS NO LONGER WITH US.
00:15:40.70\00:15:44.16
HOWEVER, YOU SEE,
THAT WAS SLOW TO WRATH.
00:15:44.16\00:15:46.66
HE OVERLOOKED THAT TRANSGRESSION
AND DE-ESCALATED THE SITUATION.
00:15:46.66\00:15:51.66
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NO GOOD FOR
HIM TO GET INTO A FIGHT AT THAT
00:15:51.66\00:15:53.50
TIME, WHEN HE WAS ACTUALLY
TRYING TO SAVE THE KINGDOM.
00:15:53.50\00:15:56.76
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO
HAVE THAT KIND OF DISCRETION?
00:15:56.76\00:15:58.53
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO
HAVE THAT KIND OF BEAUTY IN YOUR
00:15:58.53\00:16:00.40
LIFE? HOW MANY OF YOU
WANT THAT IN YOUR HOME?
00:16:00.40\00:16:02.63
LOOK, THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE
WATCHING, DO YOU NEED THAT IN
00:16:02.63\00:16:05.50
YOUR LIFE AND IN YOUR HOME?
WE NEED TO PRAY THAT GOD CAN
00:16:05.50\00:16:08.63
GIVE US THAT KIND OF
SLOW TO ANGER ATTITUDE.
00:16:08.63\00:16:11.66
NOW, ONE LAST THING, YOU KNOW,
OVERLOOKING - WE'LL COME BACK TO
00:16:11.66\00:16:17.20
THAT - OVERLOOKING IS REALLY
RELATED TO FORGIVING AND IF I
00:16:17.20\00:16:22.70
DON'T BRING THAT BACK
UP AGAIN, REMIND ME, OKAY?
00:16:22.70\00:16:24.86
SO HOW IS IT THAT WE CAN, THOUGH
- YOU KNOW, YOU'RE THINKING,
00:16:24.86\00:16:27.63
'WAIT A MINUTE, YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MY HOUSE.
00:16:27.63\00:16:31.00
IT'S REALLY NICE OF YOU TO HAVE
THAT NICE LITTLE BLUE SUIT ON,
00:16:31.00\00:16:33.43
SIT UP THERE IN THE LIGHTS AND
TELL ME WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO
00:16:33.43\00:16:35.86
IN MY HOUSE.' RIGHT?
WELL, YOU KNOW, BEING MARRIED 22
00:16:35.86\00:16:41.00
YEARS, HAVING FOUR KIDS, AND
WORKING IN THE CHURCH, I THINK I
00:16:41.00\00:16:46.13
MIGHT KNOW A FEW
THINGS ABOUT THIS.
00:16:46.13\00:16:48.13
BUT LET ME TELL YOU, THIS
IS WHAT MAKES ME BE ABLE TO
00:16:48.13\00:16:51.30
OVERLOOK TRANSGRESSIONS.
IT'S BECAUSE I KNOW GOD'S NOT
00:16:51.30\00:16:54.30
GOING TO OVERLOOK THEM.
AND I KNOW HE HAS THE WISDOM TO
00:16:54.30\00:16:58.73
HANDLE THEM. WHAT'S IT SAY?
ROMANS CHAPTER 12 AND VERSES 18
00:16:58.73\00:17:02.96
AND 19 - ROMANS CHAPTER 12,
VERSES 18 AND 19 - WE'LL JUST
00:17:02.96\00:17:06.43
LOOK BRIEFLY AND
THEN WE'VE GOT TO RUSH ON.
00:17:06.43\00:17:08.00
ROMANS CHAPTER 12:18 AND 19, "IF
IT IS POSSIBLE," - AND, BY THE
00:17:08.00\00:17:15.16
WAY, I THINK IT IS - "AS MUCH
AS LIETH IN YOU, LIVE PEACEABLY
00:17:15.16\00:17:18.60
WITH ALL MEN." - AND
THEN VERSE 19 - ROMANS
00:17:18.60\00:17:21.63
CHAPTER 12, VERSE 19,
DO YOU SEE IT THERE? -
00:17:21.63\00:17:23.43
"DEARLY BELOVED, AVENGE
NOT YOURSELVES, BUT RATHER GIVE
00:17:23.43\00:17:27.03
PLACE UNTO WRATH: FOR IT IS
WRITTEN," - WHAT DOES IT SAY?
00:17:27.03\00:17:30.53
>>"VENGEANCE IS
MINE." >>"VENGEANCE IS MINE,"
00:17:30.53\00:17:32.56
>>"I WILL REPAY"
>>"'I WILL REPAY,'
00:17:32.56\00:17:35.40
SAITH THE LORD."
YOU SAY, 'WAIT A MINUTE.
00:17:35.40\00:17:38.03
I DON'T TRUST THE LORD.'
YOU KNOW, I WORK WITH A LOT OF
00:17:38.03\00:17:39.86
DEPRESSED FOLKS. YOU KNOW,
HERE'S THE THING, IF YOU TRY TO
00:17:39.86\00:17:43.23
BE THE LORD, YOU'RE GOING
TO WEAR YOURSELF OUT. YOU CAN
00:17:43.23\00:17:47.56
NEVER REPAY SOMEBODY. YOU
CAN'T REALLY TAKE CARE OF IT.
00:17:47.56\00:17:51.80
BUT GOD CAN. AND
YOU SAY, 'WAIT A MINUTE.
00:17:51.80\00:17:54.53
GOD'S NOT GOING TO TAKE
CARE OF IT LIKE I CAN.' OH YEAH?
00:17:54.53\00:17:57.93
I'M GOING TO
GIVE YOU ANOTHER TEXT.
00:17:57.93\00:17:59.26
MARK THIS TEXT DOWN.
IT'LL REALLY HELP YOU.
00:17:59.26\00:18:01.53
PSALM 99 - PSALM 99 AND
VERSE 8 - PSALM 99 AND VERSE 8,
00:18:01.53\00:18:09.83
"..."O LORD OUR GOD: THOU DIDST
ANSWER THEM" - PSALM 99, VERSE 8
00:18:09.83\00:18:16.93
-"THOU ANSWEREDST THEM, O LORD
OUR GOD: THOU WAST A GOD THAT
00:18:16.93\00:18:21.70
FORGAVEST THEM, THOUGH
THOU TOOKEST VENGEANCE OF THEIR
00:18:21.70\00:18:24.33
INVENTIONS." NOW ISN'T
THAT AN INTERESTING TEXT?
00:18:24.33\00:18:27.10
IN OTHER WORDS, GOD NOT ONLY
FORGIVES - BECAUSE HE'S GOD HE
00:18:27.10\00:18:31.63
CAN FORGIVE AND
ALSO METE OUT JUSTICE.
00:18:31.63\00:18:35.20
HOW MANY OF YOU
THINK THAT'S QUITE A GOD?
00:18:35.20\00:18:37.93
>>AMEN. >>AND HE
CAN TAKE CARE OF IT.
00:18:37.93\00:18:40.13
SO, OVERLOOKING A TRANSGRESSION
- ANY OF YOU MARRIED?
00:18:40.13\00:18:44.40
YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT'S MARRIED?
00:18:44.40\00:18:45.43
ARE YOU HERE AS A
RESULT OF A MARRIAGE?
00:18:45.43\00:18:46.93
IS SOMEBODY -
YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?
00:18:46.93\00:18:48.43
SO, LOOK, MARRIAGE - YOU KNOW
THE FIRST PERSON THEY LOOK FOR -
00:18:48.43\00:18:51.53
SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN A
HOUSE - THEY LOOK AT THE SPOUSE.
00:18:51.53\00:18:56.43
WHY IS THAT? THEY GOT
SOME PROBLEMS WITH OLAT.
00:18:56.43\00:19:00.53
THEY'RE NOT OVERLOOKING
TRANSGRESSIONS AND IT BUILDS UP
00:19:00.53\00:19:03.86
AND THEY SAY, 'I AM NOT
OVERLOOKING THAT TRANSGRESSION.'
00:19:03.86\00:19:07.83
AND THEY GO AFTER EACH OTHER.
NOW, I REMEMBER A STORY, YOU
00:19:07.83\00:19:10.23
KNOW, I WAS TOLD THIS COUPLE GOT
MARRIED AND THIS ONE SPOUSE SAID
00:19:10.23\00:19:15.36
TO THE OTHER - I CAN'T REMEMBER
IF IT WAS A FEMALE OR A MALE.
00:19:15.36\00:19:17.60
ACTUALLY, I DO, BUT I DON'T
WANT TO BRING THE GENDER ISSUE
00:19:17.60\00:19:19.93
INTO IT. AND SO
THEY GOT MARRIED AND ONE
00:19:19.93\00:19:23.53
SAID, 'YOU KNOW
WHAT? WE'RE MARRIED.
00:19:23.53\00:19:24.86
SO WHY DON'T WE MAKE SURE
NOTHING BUILDS UP BETWEEN US.'
00:19:24.86\00:19:29.70
'ALRIGHT.' ONE SAYS, 'WELL,
I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU DID
00:19:29.70\00:19:32.60
WRONG. AT THE
END OF THE WEEK WE'LL
00:19:32.60\00:19:33.90
JUST GET TOGETHER AND I'LL TELL
YOU EVERYTHING YOU DID WRONG.
00:19:33.90\00:19:36.16
AND WE'LL JUST WRITE IT OUT
AND WE'LL PUT IT IN THIS LITTLE
00:19:36.16\00:19:40.30
BOTTLE.' HOW MANY OF YOU THINK
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY GOOD
00:19:40.30\00:19:42.73
IDEA. SO THEY HAD
THEIR LITTLE BOTTLES.
00:19:42.73\00:19:45.33
ONE BOTTLE FOR THIS SPOUSE,
ONE BOTTLE FOR THE OTHER.
00:19:45.33\00:19:47.86
AND THEY GOT TO THE END OF THE
WEEK AND THEY PULLED OUT THESE
00:19:47.86\00:19:49.70
PAPERS. OH MAN,
THEY - ONE SPOUSE READ
00:19:49.70\00:19:53.60
IT AND THERE WAS
THIS TERRIBLE THING.
00:19:53.60\00:19:55.36
THE TOOTHPASTE WAS BEING USED
WRONG AND THE TOILET PAPER WAS
00:19:55.36\00:19:57.56
BEING USED WRONG - ALL
THESE DIFFERENT THINGS.
00:19:57.56\00:20:00.63
AND THE OTHER SPOUSE WAS LIKE,
'OH.' AND HE SAYS, 'WELL, WHAT'S
00:20:00.63\00:20:04.20
IN YOURS?' THEY
OPENED UP THEIR BOTTLE AND
00:20:04.20\00:20:07.03
THEY BEGAN TO
READ IT. 'I LOVE YOU.
00:20:07.03\00:20:09.16
I LOVE YOU MORE. I
LOVE YOU MORE AND MORE.
00:20:09.16\00:20:12.70
I LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU.'
WHICH ONE WAS MORE FRUITFUL?
00:20:12.70\00:20:17.10
IT WAS THE ONE THAT OVERLOOKED
THOSE LITTLE TRANSGRESSIONS.
00:20:17.10\00:20:21.26
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO
HAVE THAT IN YOUR LIVES?
00:20:21.26\00:20:24.33
OKAY, BUT HAVING SAID THAT,
GOING BACK TO OUR LESSON NOW,
00:20:24.33\00:20:27.50
PROVERBS 19 - OR 17 VERSE 9
- 17 VERSE 9 - LET'S READ THAT
00:20:27.50\00:20:34.03
TOGETHER. IT WAS
ALSO IN SINS AND FRIENDS.
00:20:34.03\00:20:38.00
WE BETTER HURRY UP HERE BECAUSE
THIS IS ONLY ON SUNDAY'S LESSON
00:20:38.00\00:20:42.13
- BUT LET'S READ IT -
17, VERSE 9, "HE WHO COVERS A
00:20:42.13\00:20:44.93
TRANSGRESSION SEEKS LOVE, BUT HE
WHO REPEATS A MATTER SEPARATES
00:20:44.93\00:20:51.30
FRIENDS." OH, THIS
IS A - THIS IS ANOTHER
00:20:51.30\00:20:56.03
TEXT THAT'S KIND OF RELATED
TO THE LAST ONE, ISN'T IT?
00:20:56.03\00:20:59.03
YOU KNOW I SAW THIS GUY THAT
RECEIVED A LETTER - JUST THIS
00:20:59.03\00:21:03.26
LAST WEEK ON THE INTERNET NEWS
- AND HE FOUND OUT THAT HE HAD -
00:21:03.26\00:21:08.63
THAT THERE WAS THIS LETTER HE
FOUND FROM 1950-SOMETHING - OR
00:21:08.63\00:21:12.26
HIS WIFE HAD HIDDEN THE LETTER
FROM A LADY THAT WROTE TO HIM
00:21:12.26\00:21:15.60
AND SAID THAT HE
HAD A CHILD WITH HER.
00:21:15.60\00:21:18.76
SO HE HAD A CHILD THAT HE NEVER
KNEW ABOUT FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
00:21:18.76\00:21:21.60
AND THE WIFE DID
NOT SHOW HIM THE LETTER.
00:21:21.60\00:21:24.53
HOW MANY OF YOU
SAW THIS ON THE NEWS?
00:21:24.53\00:21:26.30
AND WHEN I SAW THAT I WAS LIKE
- AND THEN THE GUY WAS KIND OF
00:21:26.30\00:21:29.03
ANGRY. 'WHY
DIDN'T SHE TELL ME THAT I
00:21:29.03\00:21:30.53
HAD THIS CHILD.' AND ALL THAT.
BUT REALLY, I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
00:21:30.53\00:21:33.06
WIFE. AND I
THOUGHT, 'YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:21:33.06\00:21:34.36
THAT WIFE WAS PROBABLY TRYING TO
DO THE BEST FOR HER MARRIAGE AND
00:21:34.36\00:21:36.70
FOR HER HUSBAND.
DIDN'T WANT TO SAY -
00:21:36.70\00:21:38.86
DIDN'T WANT TO
HURT HIS REPUTATION.
00:21:38.86\00:21:40.50
AND FOR HER TO KEEP THAT TO
HERSELF ALL THOSE YEARS AND TRY
00:21:40.50\00:21:44.30
AND PROTECT THE REPUTATION OF
THE FAMILY IN DIFFERENT THINGS.
00:21:44.30\00:21:46.63
I THOUGHT, 'WHAT A TESTIMONY TO
THAT LADY.' THAT SHE ATTEMPTED
00:21:46.63\00:21:50.46
TO COVER A
TRANSGRESSION SEEKING LOVE.
00:21:50.46\00:21:54.23
NOW, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TOLD MANY
TIMES IN THE BIBLE TO NOT COVER
00:21:54.23\00:21:58.76
TRANSGRESSION. SO THE
IDEA HERE IS WHY WOULD IT
00:21:58.76\00:22:01.16
SAY COVER A TRANSGRESSION
IF WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO?
00:22:01.16\00:22:06.86
WELL, LET ME GIVE YOU A
COUPLE TEXTS THAT COME TO MIND.
00:22:06.86\00:22:10.50
YOU CAN JUST JOT THESE DOWN
BECAUSE I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
00:22:10.50\00:22:13.26
I THOUGHT THIS WAS
GOING TO GO SLOWER.
00:22:13.26\00:22:14.63
I THOUGHT THIS WAS LIKE WESTERN
SAVINGS TIME OR SOMETHING OUT
00:22:14.63\00:22:16.83
HERE, BUT IT'S NOT. TO
COVER A TRANSGRESSION - YOU
00:22:16.83\00:22:21.10
KNOW, MATTHEW CHAPTER 18, VERSE
15, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT WHEN
00:22:21.10\00:22:24.30
YOU HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
00:22:24.30\00:22:27.60
WHAT DOES IT SAY? VERSE 15?
"GO TO YOUR BROTHER ALONE AND
00:22:27.60\00:22:35.06
TALK WITH HIM." DON'T
GO WITH THE MEGAPHONE,
00:22:35.06\00:22:37.56
GO ALONE. AND
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
00:22:37.56\00:22:41.46
YOU'RE COVERING
THAT TRANSGRESSION.
00:22:41.46\00:22:43.53
YOU DON'T WANT HIM OR HER TO
LOOK BAD, YOU JUST WANT TO CLEAR
00:22:43.53\00:22:47.40
IT UP. HOW MANY OF YOU
THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING TO DO?
00:22:47.40\00:22:51.83
THAT'S COVERING A TRANSGRESSION.
WHAT ABOUT JOSEPH?
00:22:51.83\00:22:55.03
WHEN HE FOUND OUT THAT HIS
FIANCE WAS PREGNANT BY THE HOLY
00:22:55.03\00:22:59.00
SPIRIT? I MEAN,
HOW'S HE GOING TO
00:22:59.00\00:23:00.50
EXPLAIN THAT TO
ANYONE ANYWAY, RIGHT? RIGHT?
00:23:00.50\00:23:03.16
SO HE GOES,
'ALRIGHT, THAT'S TRUE.
00:23:03.16\00:23:04.70
I DO BELIEVE THE
HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD.
00:23:04.70\00:23:06.80
I BELIEVE ALL THOSE THINGS, BUT
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE HAPPENING
00:23:06.80\00:23:09.76
DOWN AT THE 7-11 STORE HERE
DOWN IN SHEKEM' - OR WHEREVER.
00:23:09.76\00:23:13.10
I'M NOT BRINGING THAT
UP. I AM GOING TO PROTECT THE
00:23:13.10\00:23:16.43
REPUTATION OF MARY.
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?
00:23:16.43\00:23:20.06
IT SAYS - SO JOSEPH PUT
HER AWAY - WHAT DOES IT SAY?
00:23:20.06\00:23:24.53
SECRETLY - OR QUIETLY. MATTHEW
CHAPTER 1, VERSE 18 AND 19.
00:23:24.53\00:23:29.40
AND, AGAIN, I'M NOT
SAYING THAT WAS A SIN.
00:23:29.40\00:23:31.06
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN?
BUT HE REALIZED SOME THINGS JUST
00:23:31.06\00:23:35.03
ARE NOT GOING TO
TRANSLATE TO RADIO HERE.
00:23:35.03\00:23:37.20
PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:23:37.20\00:23:40.76
PROVERBS 25:9 - LOOK AT THAT ONE
SINCE WE'RE RIGHT IN PROVERBS -
00:23:40.76\00:23:44.63
PROVERBS 25:9, "DEBATE YOUR CASE
WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR, AND DO NOT
00:23:44.63\00:23:50.03
DISCLOSE THE SECRET TO ANOTHER;"
- THIS IS THE IDEA OF COVERING A
00:23:50.03\00:23:55.16
TRANSGRESSION. YOU
KNOW, 'ALRIGHT, MY NEIGHBOR
00:23:55.16\00:23:58.50
AND I HAD THIS PROBLEM, YOU
KNOW, WHY IS HE PLANTING THIS
00:23:58.50\00:24:02.73
GRAPE VINE ON MY SIDE?'
WELL, NOT EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD
00:24:02.73\00:24:05.96
HAS TO KNOW ABOUT THAT.
JUST GO AND TRY AND FIGURE IT
00:24:05.96\00:24:09.30
OUT. THIS IS WISE
COUNSEL, ISN'T IT?
00:24:09.30\00:24:12.60
NOW, ULTIMATELY, AT THE END
OF IT ALL, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY
00:24:12.60\00:24:18.50
COVERING THAT COMES FOR SIN IS
THE PENALTY BEING PAID FOR IT BY
00:24:18.50\00:24:23.36
A SACRIFICE, IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT, OR BY CHRIST HIMSELF.
00:24:23.36\00:24:27.90
AND I WANTED TO
SHOW YOU THIS ONE.
00:24:27.90\00:24:29.36
I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING
AS I WAS STUDYING THIS PROVERB.
00:24:29.36\00:24:31.33
PROVERBS 16 AND VERSE 6 - LOOK
AT IT WITH ME - PROVERBS 16 AND
00:24:31.33\00:24:37.50
VERSE 6, "IN MERCY AND
TRUTH ATONEMENT IS PROVIDED FOR
00:24:37.50\00:24:44.23
INIQUITY; AND BY THE FEAR OF
THE LORD ONE DEPARTS FROM EVIL."
00:24:44.23\00:24:47.36
NOW LOOK AT THAT.
00:24:47.36\00:24:49.00
WHAT IS IT THAT REALLY
COVERS THERE IN THAT VERSE?
00:24:49.00\00:24:51.76
"IN MERCY AND TRUTH" - SO MERCY
AND JUSTICE - TRUTH IS ALWAYS
00:24:51.76\00:24:57.13
JUST, RIGHT? -
"ATONEMENT IS PROVIDED" - YOU
00:24:57.13\00:25:00.56
KNOW WHAT THE
WORD 'ATONEMENT' MEANS?
00:25:00.56\00:25:01.70
'COVERING' -
COVERING IS PROVIDED.
00:25:01.70\00:25:05.40
SO THE REAL WAY WE COVER
THINGS UP - OR THE REAL WAY
00:25:05.40\00:25:10.20
TRANSGRESSION IS
ULTIMATELY COVERED UP IS WHAT?
00:25:10.20\00:25:13.70
BY THE SACRIFICE OF
GOD HIMSELF. >>AMEN.
00:25:13.70\00:25:19.03
>>THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.
IT MIGHT TAKE A SMALL SACRIFICE
00:25:19.03\00:25:21.30
FOR YOU TO 'OLAT' - TO OVERLOOK
A TRANSGRESSION - TO COVER
00:25:21.30\00:25:23.83
THINGS UP. THAT
DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE TAKING
00:25:23.83\00:25:25.76
AWAY THE FACT THAT
IT'S A TRANSGRESSION.
00:25:25.76\00:25:27.43
AND GOD WILL - GOD
WILL TAKE CARE OF IT.
00:25:27.43\00:25:30.13
SEE, YOU'RE BEING
SLOW - SLOW TO WRATH.
00:25:30.13\00:25:32.20
YOU'RE ALLOWING SPACE - YOU'RE
NOT BRINGING IT OUT IN THE OPEN
00:25:32.20\00:25:35.26
SO PEOPLE GET ALL
UP IN ARMS ABOUT IT.
00:25:35.26\00:25:37.06
PSALMS 85:2 WAS MENTIONED IN OUR
LESSON, "YOU HAVE FORGIVEN THE
00:25:37.06\00:25:42.30
INIQUITY OF YOUR PEOPLE;
YOU HAVE COVERED ALL THEIR SIN."
00:25:42.30\00:25:44.96
JESUS EVEN DID THIS ON THE
CROSS - 'FATHER, FORGIVE THEM.
00:25:44.96\00:25:47.56
THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
00:25:47.56\00:25:49.86
THEY JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE DOING.' RIGHT?
00:25:49.86\00:25:53.13
ALRIGHT, WELL LET'S - LET'S
CONTINUE ON AND, BY THE WAY, AT
00:25:53.13\00:26:00.80
THE END OF THAT SAME VERSE -
LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT IT - "HE
00:26:00.80\00:26:04.20
WHO COVERS A TRANSGRESSION SEEKS
LOVE" - THIS IS PROVERBS 17:9
00:26:04.20\00:26:07.80
AGAIN, "HE WHO COVERS A
TRANSGRESSION SEEKS LOVE, BUT HE
00:26:07.80\00:26:11.20
WHO REPEATS A
MATTER SEPARATES FRIENDS."
00:26:11.20\00:26:15.30
SO, IN OTHER WORDS, REALLY
THE MEANING OF THE TEXT IS, YOU
00:26:15.30\00:26:18.23
KNOW, ONCE SOMETHING'S COVERED
THROUGH LOVE, YOU DON'T NEED TO
00:26:18.23\00:26:24.20
TELL ANYONE ELSE
ABOUT IT. I FORGAVE THEM.
00:26:24.20\00:26:28.46
THEY FORGAVE ME. THEN WHY
EVEN TELL ANYONE ELSE ABOUT IT?
00:26:28.46\00:26:31.50
BUT THE PROBLEM IS WE
LIKE - 'I WAS QUITE RIGHTEOUS.
00:26:31.50\00:26:34.93
LET ME MENTION TO YOU HOW
BENEVOLENT AND LOVING I WAS.'
00:26:34.93\00:26:40.16
'WELL, WHAT DID THEY DO TO
YOU?' YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST NOT
00:26:40.16\00:26:43.40
HELPFUL. HOW MANY
OF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN
00:26:43.40\00:26:45.70
TEMPTED TO DO THAT? WHEN
YOU'RE SAYING, 'WELL, WAIT
00:26:45.70\00:26:48.30
A MINUTE, I'M NOT
TEMPTED TO DO THAT.
00:26:48.30\00:26:50.43
THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING
SOMEONE ELSE WOULD DO.' WELL,
00:26:50.43\00:26:52.26
I'M GOING TO COME TO A STATISTIC
THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU SHAKE IN
00:26:52.26\00:26:56.40
YOUR LITTLE PADDED SEAT TONIGHT,
BUT I LIKE HOW ONE PREACHER PUT
00:26:56.40\00:27:02.30
IT - JOHN PIPER - HE
SAID, 'DON'T TALK ABOUT PEOPLE'S
00:27:02.30\00:27:05.93
FAULTS, TALK TO THEM ABOUT THEIR
FAULTS.' OKAY, SO REPEATING THE
00:27:05.93\00:27:11.73
MATTER WILL SEPARATE FRIENDS.
NOW HERE'S THE STATISTIC, OKAY?
00:27:11.73\00:27:14.26
THEY DID RESEARCH - AT LEAST
THIS IS WHAT GOOGLE TOLD ME,
00:27:14.26\00:27:19.10
OKAY? AND IT WAS A GOOGLE
00:27:19.10\00:27:22.13
SCHOLAR SO THIS
IS VERY REPUTABLE.
00:27:22.13\00:27:24.23
IT ACTUALLY HAD
REFERENCES AND EVERYTHING.
00:27:24.23\00:27:28.23
ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF
CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN ADULTS ARE
00:27:28.23\00:27:33.90
ABOUT SOMEONE
WHO IS NOT PRESENT.
00:27:33.90\00:27:37.26
60 PERCENT - AND MOST OF THOSE
ARE PASSING JUDGMENT ON THE
00:27:37.26\00:27:43.26
PERSON WHO IS NOT THERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S CALLED IN
00:27:43.26\00:27:46.63
THE BIBLE? GOSSIP - 60 PERCENT.
00:27:46.63\00:27:50.43
AND, BY THE WAY, THEY
STUDIED, YOU KNOW, CORPORATIONS.
00:27:50.43\00:27:55.43
THE ASSISTANT PROFESSOR,
ERIC GILBERT, OF THE SCHOOL
00:27:55.43\00:27:59.16
OF INTERACTIVE COMPUTING, LOOKED
AT - AND YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND
00:27:59.16\00:28:02.73
LOOK AT THIS IF YOU
WANT - THE ENRON CORPUS.
00:28:02.73\00:28:05.93
THIS WAS 600,000 E-MAILS THAT
WERE SENT AMONG 158 EMPLOYEES.
00:28:05.93\00:28:11.46
ENRON WAS THAT COMPANY THAT,
YEARS AGO, TANKED BECAUSE THEY -
00:28:11.46\00:28:15.60
OF MISMANAGEMENT AND, BASICALLY,
YOU KNOW, SOME DISHONESTY - AND
00:28:15.60\00:28:21.80
THEY LOOKED AT ALL THESE E-MAILS
AND THE AVERAGE PERSON IN THAT
00:28:21.80\00:28:26.86
ORGANIZATION SENT 112 E-MAILS A
DAY AND THEY WENT THROUGH IT AND
00:28:26.86\00:28:33.16
THIS IS WHAT THEY DID: THEY
SAID ANY E-MAIL THAT MENTIONS
00:28:33.16\00:28:35.63
ANYTHING ABOUT SOMEONE WHERE
THE PERSON IS NOT IN THE SUBJECT
00:28:35.63\00:28:40.46
LINE OR IN THE CC LINE, THAT'S
GOSSIP, SO THEY LOOKED AT IT.
00:28:40.46\00:28:46.26
AND THEY LOOKED AT ALL THOSE
AND GUESS WHAT THEY DISCOVERED?
00:28:46.26\00:28:49.73
15 PERCENT OF THOSE
E-MAILS WERE GOSSIP.
00:28:49.73\00:28:54.06
AND GOSSIP, HOWEVER, WHEN THEY
STUDIED IT, WAS AT EVERY LEVEL
00:28:54.06\00:28:58.13
OF THE ORGANIZATION -
FROM THE VERY TOP DOWN.
00:28:58.13\00:29:02.60
NOW THIS IS WHAT THEY DID FIND,
AND THIS MIGHT BE INSTRUCTIVE
00:29:02.60\00:29:04.10
TO US. THOSE AT
THE TOP DID A LOT LESS
00:29:04.10\00:29:07.16
GOSSIPING THAN
THOSE AT THE BOTTOM.
00:29:07.16\00:29:09.70
MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY
WERE AT THE TOP, I DON'T KNOW.
00:29:09.70\00:29:12.70
THE LOWEST RANKED EMPLOYEES
GOSSIPED MOST AND, USUALLY,
00:29:12.70\00:29:16.40
THREE - THERE WAS THREE TIMES
MORE NEGATIVE THAN POSITIVE
00:29:16.40\00:29:20.76
GOSSIP. I MEAN,
THERE IS POSITIVE
00:29:20.76\00:29:23.00
GOSSIP, YOU KNOW, 'MAN, THIS GUY
IS - YOU KNOW, THAT DON, HE IS
00:29:23.00\00:29:26.60
GREAT.' YOU KNOW? I'M
NOT GIVING YOU ANY IDEAS.
00:29:26.60\00:29:30.56
ANYWAY, SO SOMEONE
WHO REPEATS A MATTER.
00:29:30.56\00:29:36.83
OKAY, NUMBER 2 REBUKING AND
CONFRONTING SIN IS OUR LESSON -
00:29:36.83\00:29:44.50
LET'S SEE, WHERE IS
THAT? WHAT DAY IS THAT?
00:29:44.50\00:29:49.60
I KIND OF GOT THAT OUT OF ORDER,
BUT LET'S JUST SAY IT GOES WITH
00:29:49.60\00:29:54.00
MONDAY - BE JUST - OKAY?
00:29:54.00\00:29:57.86
AND WE'LL LOOK THERE
AT VERSE 10 OF CHAPTER 17.
00:29:57.86\00:30:02.06
CHAPTER 17 AND OUR PROVERBS
VERSE 10, "REBUKE IS MORE
00:30:02.06\00:30:06.23
EFFECTIVE FOR A WISE MAN
THAN A HUNDRED BLOWS ON A FOOL."
00:30:06.23\00:30:09.70
- AND THEN VERSE 25, THEY ALSO
MENTION THERE - THIS IS CHAPTER
00:30:09.70\00:30:13.36
19, VERSE 25, "STRIKE A SCOFFER,
AND THE SIMPLE WILL BECOME WARY;
00:30:13.36\00:30:18.73
REBUKE ONE WHO HAS
UNDERSTANDING, AND HE WILL
00:30:18.73\00:30:21.13
DISCERN KNOWLEDGE." SO
RIGHT AFTER IT SAYS 'OLAT,' -
00:30:21.13\00:30:24.53
WHAT DOES THAT STAND FOR?
>>OVERLOOK A TRANSGRESSION.
00:30:24.53\00:30:26.66
>>'OVERLOOK A TRANSGRESSION.'
IT SAYS, WAIT A MINUTE, REBUKE.
00:30:26.66\00:30:33.00
THERE IS A PLACE FOR REBUKE
THAT WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF.
00:30:33.00\00:30:38.10
SO THIS IDEA OF REBUKE - LET'S
TALK ABOUT REBUKE JUST FOR A
00:30:38.10\00:30:42.26
MINUTE. IS REBUKE A GOOD THING?
00:30:42.26\00:30:46.23
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER
BEEN REBUKED AND FOUND THAT
00:30:46.23\00:30:48.96
THAT WAS A GOOD THING?
00:30:48.96\00:30:50.63
YEAH, MAYBE NOT RIGHT THEN, BUT
YOU THINK ABOUT IT IN THE BIBLE.
00:30:50.63\00:30:56.30
MANY TURNING POINTS IN THE
BIBLE CAME BECAUSE OF REBUKE.
00:30:56.30\00:30:59.13
REMEMBER PAUL, HE REBUKED PETER
BECAUSE PETER, KIND OF, WAS
00:30:59.13\00:31:04.10
TREATING PEOPLE THE WRONG
WAY IN GALATIANS CHAPTER 2.
00:31:04.10\00:31:07.46
AND REMEMBER
JESUS, WHAT DID HE SAY?
00:31:07.46\00:31:10.96
LUKE CHAPTER 17 AND VERSE
3, "TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES.
00:31:10.96\00:31:15.06
IF YOUR BROTHER" - OR SISTER
- "SINS AGAINST YOU, REBUKE HIM;
00:31:15.06\00:31:17.40
AND IF HE REPENTS, FORGIVE HIM."
SO THERE IS A PLACE FOR REBUKE,
00:31:17.40\00:31:22.26
YOU KNOW, THERE REALLY IS.
NOW, I MEAN, PRACTICALLY PUT.
00:31:22.26\00:31:27.50
IF YOU'RE A FATHER OR YOU'RE
A PARENT OR YOU'RE A MOTHER, I
00:31:27.50\00:31:31.53
MEAN, YOUR LOT IN LIFE IS TO
- GODLY - IN A GODLY FASHION,
00:31:31.53\00:31:35.96
REBUKE YOUR CHILDREN.
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE IN EXISTENCE,
00:31:35.96\00:31:37.90
RIGHT? IS THAT
RIGHT OR AM I WRONG?
00:31:37.90\00:31:41.43
>>YES. >>RIGHT?
00:31:41.43\00:31:43.73
NOW, SOMETIMES YOUR CHILDREN
WILL ALSO REBUKE YOU AND THAT'S
00:31:43.73\00:31:47.20
ALSO A GOOD THING. I
REMEMBER ONCE MY LITTLE
00:31:47.20\00:31:49.10
DAUGHTER, WE TAUGHT
HER THIS MEMORY VERSE.
00:31:49.10\00:31:50.96
THE MEMORY VERSE WAS 'DO
NOT REBEL AGAINST THE LORD.'
00:31:50.96\00:31:54.56
WELL, SHE LOVED
THAT MEMORY VERSE.
00:31:54.56\00:31:56.13
SHE FOLLOWED ME AROUND ALL DAY
ONE DAY, 'DO NOT REBEL AGAINST
00:31:56.13\00:32:00.13
THE LORD.' I'M NEXT TO THE
REFRIGERATOR, 'DO NOT REBEL
00:32:00.13\00:32:04.20
AGAINST THE LORD.' I WAS LIKE,
'I NEEDED THAT, THANK YOU.' I'M
00:32:04.20\00:32:07.66
NEXT TO THE TELEVISION SET,
'DO NOT REBEL.' 'THANK YOU.'
00:32:07.66\00:32:11.10
YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN? SO
GOD CAN USE IT BOTH WAYS -
00:32:11.10\00:32:14.83
AND HE CAN EVEN USE A DONKEY.
REVELATION CHAPTER 3 AND VERSE
00:32:14.83\00:32:19.86
19, "AS MANY AS I
LOVE, I REBUKE AND CHASTEN."
00:32:19.86\00:32:26.80
- NOW THIS IS - THIS IS ACTUALLY
AN INSTRUCTIONAL WORD - TO
00:32:26.80\00:32:30.93
REBUKE MEANS TO NOT AGREE WITH A
THOUGHT OR SOMETHING SOMEONE HAS
00:32:30.93\00:32:35.90
DONE - AND TO CHASTEN MEANS
NOT JUST TO PUNISH BUT MEANS TO
00:32:35.90\00:32:40.13
CORRECT AND GET
BACK IN THE RIGHT PATH.
00:32:40.13\00:32:43.56
THIS IS LIKE WHAT
HAPPENS IN SCHOOL.
00:32:43.56\00:32:45.70
THIS IS WHY YOU SEND YOUR KIDS
AWAY TO SCHOOL - BECAUSE YOU GO,
00:32:45.70\00:32:49.20
'OKAY, THE BURDEN IS TOO
GREAT. I'LL PAY WHATEVER PRICE.
00:32:49.20\00:32:52.20
GO.' - YOU REBUKE.
YOU CHASTEN THEM, RIGHT?
00:32:52.20\00:32:55.93
WHICH IS A FUNCTION
THAT'S HANDED OVER OF A PARENT.
00:32:55.93\00:33:00.10
YOU'RE STILL RESPONSIBLE BUT
YOU'RE PICKING THE SCHOOL FOR A
00:33:00.10\00:33:03.00
CHILD UNTIL A
CERTAIN CASE. YES OR NO?
00:33:03.00\00:33:05.23
SO REBUKE AND CHASTEN.
00:33:05.23\00:33:06.83
WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME IN OUR
- IN OUR THERAPY SESSIONS AND
00:33:06.83\00:33:10.76
WHATNOT WITH DEPRESSED FOLKS,
WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH, YOU
00:33:10.76\00:33:13.66
KNOW, THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE
SUFFERING FROM MAJOR DEPRESSION.
00:33:13.66\00:33:17.06
MANY TIMES THEY HAVE THE
WRONG THOUGHTS AND THESE WRONG
00:33:17.06\00:33:21.40
THOUGHTS ARE THEN
CREATING THE WRONG FEELINGS.
00:33:21.40\00:33:25.36
AND THESE WRONG THOUGHTS AND
FEELINGS THEN LEAD TO THE WRONG
00:33:25.36\00:33:28.40
ACTIONS AND SO WE DO SOMETHING
CALLED 'COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL
00:33:28.40\00:33:31.26
THERAPY.' WE'RE GOING, 'WAIT
A MINUTE, YOUR COGNITIONS - YOUR
00:33:31.26\00:33:33.96
THOUGHTS - ARE WRONG AND SO YOU
NEED TO CHANGE THOSE THOUGHTS.'
00:33:33.96\00:33:38.33
AND FOR A MINUTE, YOU KNOW, YOU
TELL SOMEONE THAT AND THEY'RE
00:33:38.33\00:33:42.06
JUST LIKE, 'WHAT? YOU'RE TELLING
ME MY THOUGHTS ARE WRONG?'
00:33:42.06\00:33:45.66
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL, RIGHT?
00:33:45.66\00:33:47.90
BECAUSE THERE'S
PRIDE THAT COMES IN.
00:33:47.90\00:33:51.03
PRIDE THAT COMES IN - HEY,
YOU KNOW, AND THIS ISN'T IN MY
00:33:51.03\00:33:53.63
LESSON, BUT LET ME GIVE YOU
FOUR QUICK POINTS ON THAT, OKAY?
00:33:53.63\00:33:55.90
FOUR POINTS - THIS IS FROM
UCLA - ON HOW TO HELP CONFRONT
00:33:55.90\00:34:01.40
SOMEONE. NUMBER 1, WHEN YOU'RE
CONFRONTING SOMEONE, YOU HELP
00:34:01.40\00:34:06.26
THEM RE-LABEL THE
SITUATION - NUMBER 1 - RE-LABEL.
00:34:06.26\00:34:10.20
IF YOU'RE WRITING THIS
DOWN, WRITE IT DOWN - RE-LABEL -
00:34:10.20\00:34:12.40
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:34:12.40\00:34:13.60
THE APOSTLE PAUL
DID THIS ALL THE TIME.
00:34:13.60\00:34:15.33
HE SAID, 'THIS IS NOT ME BUT SIN
THAT DWELLETH IN ME.' NOTICE HE
00:34:15.33\00:34:18.66
WAS RE-LABELING
THERE, WASN'T HE?
00:34:18.66\00:34:20.43
NUMBER 2 - YOU'RE RE-LABELING -
YOU'RE RE-ATTRIBUTING IT, SO TO
00:34:20.43\00:34:24.86
REATTRIBUTE - THEY DID RESEARCH
WITH FOLKS THAT WERE DEPRESSED
00:34:24.86\00:34:30.63
AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT
MANY OF THESE NEGATIVE AUTOMATIC
00:34:30.63\00:34:33.80
THOUGHTS THAT THEY HAD, GUESS
WHERE THEY'RE COMING - THEY'RE
00:34:33.80\00:34:35.53
COMING FROM THIS SECTION OF THE
BRAIN - THE MID-BRAIN - NOT THE
00:34:35.53\00:34:37.63
FRONT BRAIN. AND
THEY'RE SAYING, 'OKAY,
00:34:37.63\00:34:41.00
RE-LABEL IT, BUT
LET'S SEE WHERE IT IS.
00:34:41.00\00:34:43.50
REATTRIBUTE IT - IT'S IN THIS
PART OF THE BRAIN, NOT HERE.
00:34:43.50\00:34:45.73
NOW WHICH PART OF THE BRAIN
IS SUPPOSED TO LEAD YOU AROUND?
00:34:45.73\00:34:48.33
THIS PART OF THE BRAIN, NOT
THIS. SO YOU REATTRIBUTE IT.
00:34:48.33\00:34:51.50
AND THEY'D SHOW THEM THE
PICTURES OF THEIR BRAINS AND
00:34:51.50\00:34:53.06
THEY'D GO, 'OH WAIT A MINUTE.
00:34:53.06\00:34:54.26
IT'S IN THAT SECTION OF THE
BRAIN.' NUMBER 3 - REFOCUS -
00:34:54.26\00:34:57.63
THAT MEANS TO
CHOOSE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
00:34:57.63\00:35:00.40
NOW YOU MIGHT CHOOSE IT ON
THE BASIS OF A PROVERB OR ON THE
00:35:00.40\00:35:04.60
BASIS OF A REBUKE SOMEONE
BROUGHT TO YOU - YOU KNOW, IT
00:35:04.60\00:35:08.00
GETS YOUR ATTENTION.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
00:35:08.00\00:35:09.83
- I REMEMBER ONCE, I WAS A NURSE
- BEFORE I WAS A PASTOR - BEFORE
00:35:09.83\00:35:12.86
I WAS A TEACHER - AND THIS LADY,
HER NAME WAS EILEEN, AND EILEEN
00:35:12.86\00:35:17.13
SAID TO ME, 'YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:35:17.13\00:35:18.50
YOU HAVE NO
BUSINESS BEING A NURSE.
00:35:18.50\00:35:21.06
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
00:35:21.06\00:35:22.86
YOU'RE MISTREATING THE
PATIENTS.' I WOULDN'T LISTEN TO
00:35:22.86\00:35:25.46
HER SO ONE DAY SHE SAID, 'COME
HERE.' AND WE WERE IN THE DIRTY
00:35:25.46\00:35:28.46
UTILITY ROOM. NOW
THAT SOUNDS REALLY BAD, BUT
00:35:28.46\00:35:30.46
THAT'S JUST WHERE ALL
THE DIRTY UTENSILS WERE.
00:35:30.46\00:35:31.93
AND WE WERE IN THIS DIRTY
UTILITY ROOM AND SHE GOES 'LEAN
00:35:31.93\00:35:36.30
DOWN HERE FOR A MINUTE.' I
LEANED DOWN, SHE GRABBED MY NECK
00:35:36.30\00:35:38.90
AND SHE STARTED HITTING
ME ON THE HEAD WITH A BEDPAN.
00:35:38.90\00:35:41.03
NOW IMAGINE THAT. I
MEAN, HERE I AM, YOU KNOW,
00:35:41.03\00:35:44.53
I'M TEACHING SABBATH SCHOOL
HERE AND JUST PICTURE THAT -
00:35:44.53\00:35:46.66
I'M GETTING HIT WITH A BEDPAN.
BUT WHAT WAS SHE TRYING TO DO?
00:35:46.66\00:35:48.56
SHE SAID TO ME, 'I'VE
GOT TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!'
00:35:48.56\00:35:52.03
- SHE WAS ABOUT 65 AND I WAS
ABOUT 25 - AND SHE SAID, 'YOU
00:35:52.03\00:35:55.83
ARE NOT DOING WHAT YOU SHOULD
DO.' AND I BEGAN TO WATCH HER.
00:35:55.83\00:35:58.56
SHE WAS ALWAYS
WITH THE PATIENTS.
00:35:58.56\00:36:00.86
SHE WAS ALWAYS
RUBBING THEIR BACKS.
00:36:00.86\00:36:02.40
SHE WAS ALWAYS MINISTERING
TO THEM. YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:36:02.40\00:36:04.73
IT CHANGED COURSE - WHEN YOU GET
HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A BEDPAN IT
00:36:04.73\00:36:06.76
CHANGES YOUR
LIFE. >>IT SURE DOES.
00:36:06.76\00:36:08.36
>>SO RE-LABEL, REATTRIBUTE,
REFOCUS AND THEN, LAST ARE,
00:36:08.36\00:36:16.00
REVALUE ON THE BASIS OF TRUTH.
SEE, THAT'S WHAT REBUKE IS.
00:36:16.00\00:36:22.10
REBUKE IS BASED ON WHAT? TRUTH.
00:36:22.10\00:36:26.26
IT'S SAYING, 'LOOK, THERE'S
A TRUTH YOU NEED TO KNOW.
00:36:26.26\00:36:29.46
AND THAT'S THE - "AS MANY AS
I LOVE, I REBUKE AND CHASTEN."
00:36:29.46\00:36:33.86
ALRIGHT, LET'S HEAD
ON TO OUR NEXT POINT.
00:36:33.86\00:36:37.16
TUESDAY'S LESSON - WORDS, AGAIN
- THEY HAD US READ THE ENTIRE
00:36:37.16\00:36:41.70
CHAPTER OF PROVERBS 18 AND, YOU
KNOW, IT HAD US FOCUS ON WORDS.
00:36:41.70\00:36:51.30
NOW I LOOKED UP WORDS - THE
STATISTICS CONCERNING WORDS -
00:36:51.30\00:36:55.93
THE AVERAGE PERSON, AND I GUESS
I WOULD LIVE UP TO THIS TONIGHT
00:36:55.93\00:36:59.83
BECAUSE NONE OF YOU ALL HAVE
MICROPHONES, I GUESS JUST I DO.
00:36:59.83\00:37:02.83
THE AVERAGE PERSON SPENDS 20
PERCENT OF THEIR WAKING HOURS
00:37:02.83\00:37:07.40
TALKING. AND THAT
DOESN'T INCLUDE THE
00:37:07.40\00:37:10.23
INNER MONOLOGUES OR
SELF-TALK THAT YOU HAVE.
00:37:10.23\00:37:13.33
NOW THAT'S A LOT
OF SPEECH, ISN'T IT?
00:37:13.33\00:37:16.90
A COUPLE LESSONS HERE
FROM PROVERBS CHAPTER 18,
00:37:16.90\00:37:20.70
REMEMBER VERSE
2 WAS BROUGHT OUT.
00:37:20.70\00:37:22.96
LOOK AT THAT WITH ME, PROVERBS
18 AND VERSE 2, "A FOOL HAS NO
00:37:22.96\00:37:29.23
DELIGHT IN UNDERSTANDING, BUT
IN EXPRESSING HIS OWN HEART."
00:37:29.23\00:37:35.20
YEAH, SO HE JUST WANTS TO TALK
ALL THE TIME AND NEVER LISTEN.
00:37:35.20\00:37:42.16
HAVE YOU EVER
MET ANYONE LIKE THAT?
00:37:42.16\00:37:43.53
YEAH, YOU JUST - I REMEMBER ONCE
I WAS TALKING TO THIS GUY, I
00:37:43.53\00:37:48.26
WON'T MENTION HIS NAME BECAUSE
I'VE READ THAT PROVERB THAT SAYS
00:37:48.26\00:37:53.16
DON'T MENTION IT, BUT I WAS
WATCHING HIM ONE DAY AND HE WAS
00:37:53.16\00:37:56.23
SO GOOD AT SPEAKING AND TALKING
THAT I LOOKED AT HIM AND I WAS
00:37:56.23\00:38:01.23
IN THE CAR WITH HIM - I HADN'T
SAID ANYTHING FOR ABOUT TWO
00:38:01.23\00:38:03.93
YEARS. I MEAN, I
WAS, YOU KNOW - AND
00:38:03.93\00:38:08.20
I'M QUITE A TALKER,
RIGHT? BUT I WAS SILENCED.
00:38:08.20\00:38:10.23
THIS GUY WAS JUST LIKE - HE
WAS TALKING AND I WATCHED HIM.
00:38:10.23\00:38:13.53
HE WAS TALKING AS HE BREATHED
OUT AND AS HE BREATHED IN.
00:38:13.53\00:38:18.03
I WAS LIKE, 'ARE YOU TALKING
WHILE YOU'RE BREATHING IN AND
00:38:18.03\00:38:21.00
OUT? HE GOES, 'YES, I LEARNED
IT WHILE I WAS A LITERATURE
00:38:21.00\00:38:24.30
EVANGELIST.' BUT A FOOL
- I'M NOT SAYING LITERATURE
00:38:24.30\00:38:29.30
EVANGELISTS ARE FOOLS, DON'T GET
ME WRONG, BUT ALWAYS TALKING AND
00:38:29.30\00:38:32.60
NEVER LISTENING NEVER REALLY
GETS YOU ANY UNDERSTANDING.
00:38:32.60\00:38:38.63
AND IT CERTAINLY IS NOT
THE BEST THING FOR CONFLICT.
00:38:38.63\00:38:43.36
REMEMBER OUR RULES FOR CONFLICT:
NUMBER 1, AVOID IT IF YOU CAN.
00:38:43.36\00:38:48.63
NUMBER 2,
OVERLOOK A TRANSGRESSION.
00:38:48.63\00:38:50.00
NUMBER 3, COVER OR FORGIVE.
NUMBER 4, WE TALKED ABOUT DON'T
00:38:50.00\00:38:53.83
REPEAT OR GOSSIP. AND
NUMBER 5, WE'RE TALKING
00:38:53.83\00:38:57.23
ABOUT CONFRONTING AND NOW WE'RE
MENTIONING HERE, WATCH YOUR
00:38:57.23\00:38:59.96
WORDS. CAN YOU
ESCALATE A SITUATION
00:38:59.96\00:39:04.80
SOMETIMES IF YOU
KEEP TALKING? >>YES.
00:39:04.80\00:39:06.93
>>YOU KNOW, I HAVE ANOTHER
- THEY DID STUDIES OF MEN AND
00:39:06.93\00:39:13.76
WOMEN - AND I'M GOING TO GET IN
TROUBLE - AND THEY FOUND OUT ONE
00:39:13.76\00:39:19.16
OF THE PROBLEMS WITH
MEN IS THAT THEY STONEWALL.
00:39:19.16\00:39:22.76
STONEWALLING IS WHERE THE WIFE
IS TALKING AND THE GUY IS JUST
00:39:22.76\00:39:26.93
SITTING THERE. >>NOT LISTENING.
00:39:26.93\00:39:29.26
>>AND KIND OF LIKE LOOKING LIKE
THIS AND, ACTUALLY, THEY MIGHT
00:39:29.26\00:39:32.56
PHYSICALLY MOVE THEIR BODY
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE NOT
00:39:32.56\00:39:36.16
LISTENING, BUT
THEY ARE LISTENING.
00:39:36.16\00:39:38.63
IN FACT, THEY DISCOVERED
THIS AT THE GOTTMAN INSTITUTE.
00:39:38.63\00:39:41.80
THEY HOOKED THEM ALL UP TO
MONITORS AND THEY TOOK THESE
00:39:41.80\00:39:44.36
HUSBANDS AND WIVES AND THEY PUT
THEM IN THIS ROOM AND THEY HAD
00:39:44.36\00:39:47.13
CAMERAS ON THEM AND THEY WATCHED
THEM AND THEY WATCHED THEIR
00:39:47.13\00:39:49.60
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND
EVERYTHING AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY
00:39:49.60\00:39:51.96
WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE
GUY WILL NOT LISTEN, BUT
00:39:51.96\00:39:54.90
THEY TOOK HIS HEART RATE
AND HIS BLOOD PRESSURE - IT WAS
00:39:54.90\00:39:58.10
SKYROCKETING. IT WAS
HERE AND HIS INTERNAL
00:39:58.10\00:40:00.70
TALK WAS THIS: 'I CAN'T
BELIEVE SHE'S SAYING THAT TO ME.
00:40:00.70\00:40:03.23
MAYBE SHE'LL GO AWAY IF I LOOK
COMATOSE.' YOU KNOW, AND SO THIS
00:40:03.23\00:40:07.46
STONEWALLING -
NOW, HERE'S THE THING.
00:40:07.46\00:40:09.96
THE LADIES THOUGHT,
'HE'S NOT LISTENING TO ME.
00:40:09.96\00:40:12.73
I NEED TO GO SLAP
HIM UPSIDE THE HEAD.
00:40:12.73\00:40:14.26
I'M GOING TO GET HIS ATTENTION.
WE'VE GOT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM
00:40:14.26\00:40:16.00
OF THIS RIGHT NOW.' THAT'S
NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
00:40:16.00\00:40:19.63
YOU KNOW WHAT THE GOOD THING
TO DO IS TO SAY, 'IT'S OBVIOUS
00:40:19.63\00:40:23.23
THAT, WHILE IT LOOKS LIKE
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME, YOU
00:40:23.23\00:40:27.03
PROBABLY ARE AND I NEED
TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE SPACE.
00:40:27.03\00:40:29.83
BUT I DO WANT TO TALK, HONEY.'
- HONEY - YOU KNOW, SAY IT JUST
00:40:29.83\00:40:34.53
REALLY NICE LIKE 'HONEY, I DO
WANT TO TALK BUT LET'S GIVE EACH
00:40:34.53\00:40:38.13
OTHER SPACE AND COME BACK.' HOW
MANY OF YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING
00:40:38.13\00:40:40.96
HERE? SO WORDS -
MORE WORDS - WOULD
00:40:40.96\00:40:43.80
NOT REALLY HELP AT
THAT PARTICULAR TIME.
00:40:43.80\00:40:50.10
WHICH BRINGS US TO CHAPTER 18,
VERSE 4. LOOK AT 18, VERSE 4,
00:40:50.10\00:40:58.13
WHICH WAS ALSO BROUGHT OUT
IN OUR LESSON. LET'S LOOK AT IT,
00:40:58.13\00:41:01.40
"THE WORDS OF A MAN'S MOUTH
ARE DEEP WATERS; THE WELLSPRING
00:41:01.40\00:41:06.40
OF WISDOM IS A FLOWING
BROOK." WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:41:06.40\00:41:11.50
FIRST OF ALL, YOU'VE GOT
YOUR FOOL WHO'S ALWAYS TALKING -
00:41:11.50\00:41:15.00
NOT CONNECTED TO REALITY,
OKAY? HAS NO UNDERSTANDING.
00:41:15.00\00:41:19.00
BUT NEXT YOU HAVE THIS PICTURE
OF SOMEONE WHOSE WORDS ARE LIKE
00:41:19.00\00:41:23.40
DEEP WATERS. I MEAN,
THE MORE YOU TALK ABOUT
00:41:23.40\00:41:25.40
IT, YOU'RE LIKE, 'WOW, THAT WAS
DEEP.' RIGHT? I REMEMBER ONCE,
00:41:25.40\00:41:34.73
I WAS TALKING LIKE A FOOL
TO MY CONFERENCE PRESIDENT.
00:41:34.73\00:41:37.43
I WAS A PASTOR IN THE MIDDLE
OF AMERICA IN KANSAS AND I WAS
00:41:37.43\00:41:40.53
TELLING HIM, 'ELDER, I'M GOING
TO GO OUT AND VISIT AND I'M
00:41:40.53\00:41:43.66
GOING TO MAKE SURE AND CLEAN UP
THESE BOOKS AND I'VE JUST FOUND
00:41:43.66\00:41:46.70
THIS AND THAT.' AND I WAS JUST
GOING ON AND ON AND ON AND ON
00:41:46.70\00:41:49.26
AND HE GOES - AND I GO,
'SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?'
00:41:49.26\00:41:51.16
AND I'M ON THE PHONE AND HE JUST
SAYS TO ME, 'DON, IT DOESN'T DO
00:41:51.16\00:41:57.90
MUCH GOOD TO KICK A DEAD HORSE.'
I WAS LIKE, 'WHAT IN THE WORLD
00:41:57.90\00:42:02.33
IS THIS GUY TALKING ABOUT?'
'IT DOESN'T DO MUCH GOOD TO KICK
00:42:02.33\00:42:05.83
A DEAD HORSE.' I HUNG UP THE
PHONE AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
00:42:05.83\00:42:10.03
FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
AND THEN I UNDERSTOOD IT.
00:42:10.03\00:42:12.96
YOU SEE, HIS WORDS WERE DEEP
AND THERE WAS A LOT OF WISDOM.
00:42:12.96\00:42:17.56
HE WASN'T GOING TO TRY AND THROW
WATER ON ME RIGHT THEN, BUT HE
00:42:17.56\00:42:20.26
HAD THESE WORDS THAT WERE WISE.
SO THE WORDS OF A MAN'S MOUTH
00:42:20.26\00:42:23.66
ARE DEEP WATERS - THEY'RE LIKE
A WELLSPRING OF WISDOM THAT IS A
00:42:23.66\00:42:27.56
FLOWING BROOK. I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER
00:42:27.56\00:42:32.30
ELDER LESLIE
HARDINGE. I LOVED THAT GUY.
00:42:32.30\00:42:36.06
I LOVED TO LISTEN
TO THAT GUY PREACH.
00:42:36.06\00:42:37.70
I BROUGHT HIM TO MY CHURCH
ONE DAY, HE WAS PREACHING, AND I
00:42:37.70\00:42:40.66
SAID TO HIM, 'ELDER HARDINGE,
IT SAYS RIGHT HERE IN THIS BOOK
00:42:40.66\00:42:45.33
THAT THE SERMON IS ONLY
TEN PERCENT OF THE WORK.
00:42:45.33\00:42:49.16
NINETY PERCENT IS IN VISITATION.
00:42:49.16\00:42:51.80
I WANT YOU TO GO VISITING WITH
ME.' HE GIVES ME THIS LOOK LIKE,
00:42:51.80\00:42:54.73
'ALRIGHT.' SO I TAKE HIM OUT TO
THESE PLACES VISITING AND I TOOK
00:42:54.73\00:43:00.90
HIM INTO THIS ONE LADY'S HOUSE
- I STILL REMEMBER IT - SHE WAS
00:43:00.90\00:43:03.53
ASKING HIM QUESTIONS,
'WELL, WHAT DO I DO WITH JOHNNY?
00:43:03.53\00:43:05.86
WELL, WHAT DO I DO WITH TIMMY?
WELL HOW DO I TAKE THIS MESSAGE
00:43:05.86\00:43:08.46
AND APPLY IT TO MY HUSBAND?'
AND HE WAS JUST GIVING THESE
00:43:08.46\00:43:11.66
ONE LINERS AND THEY
WEREN'T LONG, YOU KNOW?
00:43:11.66\00:43:15.43
LIKE ONE THING I THINK SHE SAID
WAS 'WELL WHY IS IT THAT HE DOES
00:43:15.43\00:43:18.50
THIS?' AND HE
GOES, 'MA'AM' - NO, HE
00:43:18.50\00:43:23.20
DIDN'T HAVE A TWANG LIKE THIS,
I'M JUST - I DON'T KNOW WHAT
00:43:23.20\00:43:25.86
CAME OVER ME - HE GOES, 'MA'AM,
YOU KNOW IF I COULD GIVE YOU A
00:43:25.86\00:43:30.36
REASON, IT WOULD BE REASONABLE.'
I SAID, 'MAN, THAT IS THE MOST
00:43:30.36\00:43:35.23
BRILLIANT ANSWER I EVER HEARD IN
MY LIFE.' AND SHE'S LIKE, 'WELL,
00:43:35.23\00:43:39.00
WELL, WELL, I
SUPPOSE YOU'RE RIGHT!'
00:43:39.00\00:43:41.70
I SAID, 'WE HAVE TO GO.'
SHE SAID, 'NO, NO, NO, NO!
00:43:41.70\00:43:44.36
DON'T TAKE HIM AWAY. YOU
CAN GO BUT LEAVE HIM HERE.'
00:43:44.36\00:43:47.60
I MEAN, I DIDN'T
TAKE TOO MUCH OFFENSE.
00:43:47.60\00:43:50.00
I SAID, 'WELL WHY DO
YOU WANT HIM TO STAY?'
00:43:50.00\00:43:51.86
SHE GOES, 'YOU JUST
LEAVE HIM IN THE CORNER.
00:43:51.86\00:43:53.70
I WANT HIM TO TALK ALL DAY.' YOU
SEE, BECAUSE HE WAS A WISE MAN
00:43:53.70\00:43:58.16
AND HIS WORDS WERE DEEP AND
IT SAYS THAT "THE WELLSPRING OF
00:43:58.16\00:44:03.30
WISDOM IS A FLOWING BROOK" AND
WISDOM IS ALWAYS - THIS IS THE
00:44:03.30\00:44:07.26
WISDOM OF GOD IN
THE PROVERBS, RIGHT?
00:44:07.26\00:44:08.96
AND IT COMES FROM ABOVE AND IT'S
FIRST OF ALL PEACEABLE AND IT
00:44:08.96\00:44:13.26
ENTREATS AND IT
BRINGS HOPE AND HELP.
00:44:13.26\00:44:15.86
CHAPTER 10, VERSE 11 - PROVERBS
CHAPTER 10, VERSE 11 GOES ALONG
00:44:15.86\00:44:20.50
WITH IT, "THE MOUTH OF THE
RIGHTEOUS IS A WELL OF LIFE, BUT
00:44:20.50\00:44:26.86
VIOLENCE COVERS THE
MOUTH OF THE WICKED."
00:44:26.86\00:44:28.63
SO IF YOU'RE A RIGHTEOUS PERSON,
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SEEK YOU OUT.
00:44:28.63\00:44:35.46
THEY WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU'VE
HEARD, BECAUSE YOU DON'T REALLY
00:44:35.46\00:44:38.90
HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY UNLESS
YOU HEARD IT FROM GOD, RIGHT?
00:44:38.90\00:44:41.10
AND THEY WANT TO HEAR WHAT
YOU HEARD, WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY,
00:44:41.10\00:44:43.86
BECAUSE IT'S WISDOM FROM ABOVE.
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO BE WISE?
00:44:43.86\00:44:46.83
IN PROVERBS, YOU KNOW, IT TALKS
ABOUT LISTENING TO THE COUNSEL
00:44:46.83\00:44:52.26
WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG SO THAT WHEN
YOU'RE OLDER - GO LOOK AT IT -
00:44:52.26\00:44:58.53
PROVERBS CHAPTER 19, VERSE 20,
"LISTEN TO COUNSEL AND RECEIVE
00:44:58.53\00:45:02.40
INSTRUCTION," - 19:20 - "THAT
YOU MAY BE WISE IN YOUR LATTER
00:45:02.40\00:45:09.50
DAYS." NOW I
TELL YOU WHAT, THERE'S
00:45:09.50\00:45:12.80
SOMETHING - I LIVED
WITH MY GRANDFATHER.
00:45:12.80\00:45:14.46
HE WAS 86 YEARS OLD
WHEN HE MOVED IN WITH ME.
00:45:14.46\00:45:16.43
NOW THIS GUY, I JUST
LOVED LISTENING TO HIM.
00:45:16.43\00:45:18.96
HE WAS LIKE - I'D COME HOME AND
I WOULD HAVE A TORRENT OF WORDS
00:45:18.96\00:45:22.16
AND THEN HE'D GO, 'WELL,' AND
THEN HE'D JUST SAY LIKE THREE
00:45:22.16\00:45:25.80
THINGS AND I'D BE
THINKING FOR TEN DAYS.
00:45:25.80\00:45:28.13
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT
TO BUILD THAT UP NOW?
00:45:28.13\00:45:31.96
YOU KNOW, WE NEED WHITE
BLOOD CELLS IN THE CHURCH.
00:45:31.96\00:45:34.56
WE DON'T JUST NEED
RED BLOOD CELLS, AMEN?
00:45:34.56\00:45:37.30
WE NEED SOME WHITE BLOOD CELLS.
00:45:37.30\00:45:39.00
I HAD THEM DYE MY HAIR THIS
COLOR FOR TONIGHT, JUST TO MAKE
00:45:39.00\00:45:41.90
IT LOOK LIKE I'M
LOOKING A LITTLE WHITER.
00:45:41.90\00:45:43.63
ALRIGHT, WELL
LET'S KEEP GOING ON HERE.
00:45:43.63\00:45:48.16
BY THE WAY, I THINK ONE OF
OUR TEXTS, LEST I FORGET IT, WAS
00:45:48.16\00:45:53.53
18:21 IN THE LESSON THIS WEEK
AND THIS MAKES PERFECT - PERFECT
00:45:53.53\00:45:58.23
SENSE - 18:21, "DEATH AND LIFE
ARE IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE
00:45:58.23\00:46:03.00
AND THOSE WHO LOVE
IT WILL EAT ITS FRUIT."
00:46:03.00\00:46:06.46
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE
GOT THESE PEOPLE THAT YOU BRING
00:46:06.46\00:46:09.40
IN - THESE ARE THE WISE GUYS -
THESE ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE THE
00:46:09.40\00:46:12.96
WISDOM FROM ABOVE AND IF YOU
BRING THEM IN, THEIR WORDS ARE
00:46:12.96\00:46:16.40
GOING TO BRING LIFE. BUT
IF YOU BRING THE OTHERS IN,
00:46:16.40\00:46:19.86
IT'S GOING TO KILL - HOW MANY
OF YOU HAVE EVER SAID, 'YOU KNOW
00:46:19.86\00:46:22.90
WHAT, WE NEED TO HAVE THIS GUY
SPEAK TONIGHT, NOT THIS OTHER
00:46:22.90\00:46:27.16
GUY, THIS GUY?' YOU
SEE, BECAUSE THERE'S DEATH
00:46:27.16\00:46:32.13
AND LIFE IN THE TONGUE.
ALRIGHT, MAN I TELL YOU, TIME IS
00:46:32.13\00:46:40.23
JUST FLEEING BY. WE
ONLY HAVE FIVE MORE MINUTES.
00:46:40.23\00:46:42.83
I BETTER TELL THEM
ABOUT THIS OFFER AGAIN, RIGHT?
00:46:42.83\00:46:45.20
YOU GUYS ARE WATCHING HERE - THE
TINY TROUBLEMAKER - OF COURSE,
00:46:45.20\00:46:49.66
WHAT'S THAT TINY
TROUBLEMAKER? IT'S YOUR TONGUE.
00:46:49.66\00:46:52.50
IT MIGHT BE YOUR EAR - HE WHO
HAS AN EAR LET HIM HEAR, BUT IN
00:46:52.50\00:46:55.83
THIS CASE, IT'S THE TONGUE.
SO THE TINY TROUBLEMAKER - WE
00:46:55.83\00:46:58.73
WANT TO SEND IT TO YOU -
OR AMAZING FACTS - A WONDERFUL
00:46:58.73\00:47:01.70
MINISTRY - HAS ALL
KINDS OF FREE RESOURCES.
00:47:01.70\00:47:03.90
AND, AGAIN, THIS ONE - #196 -
OFFER #196 - HERE'S THE NUMBER
00:47:03.90\00:47:08.26
YOU CALL 866-788-3966 - THAT'S
866-788-3966 OR 866-STUDY-MORE -
00:47:08.26\00:47:19.13
THAT'LL HELP YOU
REMEMBER IT, OKAY?
00:47:19.13\00:47:22.03
OFFER #196 - THE
TINY TROUBLEMAKER .
00:47:22.03\00:47:25.20
ALRIGHT, NOW ANOTHER PART OF OUR
LESSON, AND WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE
00:47:25.20\00:47:28.66
UP HERE IN OUR NEXT
FIVE MINUTES, IS HEARING
00:47:28.66\00:47:31.43
BOTH SIDES OF THE
STORY IS ANOTHER ONE.
00:47:31.43\00:47:34.26
CHAPTER 18 AND VERSE 17, "THE
FIRST ONE TO PLEAD HIS CAUSE
00:47:34.26\00:47:42.03
SEEMS RIGHT UNTIL HIS NEIGHBOR
COMES AND EXAMINES HIM."
00:47:42.03\00:47:46.73
NOW, I DO A LOT OF COUNSELING
THESE DAYS IN MY LIFE AND I'VE
00:47:46.73\00:47:54.16
LEARNED SOMETHING, BOTH WITH
MY CHILDREN, MY CHURCH MEMBERS,
00:47:54.16\00:47:58.10
AND ESPECIALLY
WITH MARRIED COUPLES.
00:47:58.10\00:48:00.36
NEVER LISTEN TO
ONE SIDE OF THE STORY.
00:48:00.36\00:48:04.06
DON'T SAY MUCH OF ANYTHING
UNTIL YOU HEAR BOTH SIDES OF THE
00:48:04.06\00:48:09.26
STORY. AND WHY IS THAT?
00:48:09.26\00:48:13.63
BECAUSE I FOUND AN INTERESTING
STUDY THAT WAS DONE BY AN
00:48:13.63\00:48:20.80
ATTORNEY SO I DON'T KNOW IF
IT'S REALLY TOTALLY ACCURATE.
00:48:20.80\00:48:23.73
AND HE SAID THAT IN THE
STUDY, HIMSELF, AS A JOKE.
00:48:23.73\00:48:26.73
I THINK GOOD
ATTORNEYS ARE GREAT.
00:48:26.73\00:48:29.83
I FOUND AN INTERESTING STUDY
THAT SAID THE AVERAGE PERSON, IF
00:48:29.83\00:48:32.80
THEY'RE IN CONVERSATION FOR MORE
THAN FIVE MINUTES, THEY'VE TOLD
00:48:32.80\00:48:36.30
A LIE. AND THE
STUDY FOUND THAT THE
00:48:36.30\00:48:39.86
PRIMARY REASON THEY LIE IS
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO TWIST THE
00:48:39.86\00:48:42.10
TRUTH TO MAKE
THEMSELVES LOOK BETTER.
00:48:42.10\00:48:44.00
SO THERE'S A LOT
OF THAT GOING ON.
00:48:44.00\00:48:46.30
SO HERE IN PROVERBS CHAPTER 18
AND 19, THE WHOLE IDEA IS LYING
00:48:46.30\00:48:51.60
IN COURT, IT SEEMS TO
BE, CHAPTER 19, VERSE 5,
00:48:51.60\00:48:56.96
FOR INSTANCE, "A FALSE WITNESS
WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED AND HE
00:48:56.96\00:49:00.13
WHO SPEAKS LIES
WILL NOT ESCAPE."
00:49:00.13\00:49:03.03
IF YOU'RE UNDER OATH - 'I
SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE
00:49:03.03\00:49:05.73
WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT
THE TRUTH, SO HELP ME GOD.' YOU
00:49:05.73\00:49:08.63
KNOW, THAT'S WHY
THEY TAKE THAT OATH.
00:49:08.63\00:49:11.36
A FALSE WITNESS
WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED.
00:49:11.36\00:49:14.63
WHAT IS DESIRED IN A MAN IS
KINDNESS AND A POOR MAN IS - A
00:49:14.63\00:49:19.20
POOR MAN IS BETTER
THAN A - WHAT DOES IT SAY?
00:49:19.20\00:49:22.43
A LIAR. TELLING THE
TRUTH WHEN YOU'RE IN
00:49:22.43\00:49:25.90
CONFLICT IS THE BEST
POLICY. IT'S THE BEST POLICY.
00:49:25.90\00:49:31.23
OVERLOOK A TRANSGRESSION, COVER
IT, PRE-EMPTIVELY AVOID IT,
00:49:31.23\00:49:34.80
DON'T GOSSIP, CONFRONT WHEN YOU
NEED TO, WATCH YOUR WORDS, BUT
00:49:34.80\00:49:38.00
LISTEN TO BOTH SIDES,
BUT THEN TELL THE TRUTH.
00:49:38.00\00:49:41.60
VERSE 8 - OR 28 - "A DISPUTABLE
WITNESS" - THIS IS CHAPTER 19,
00:49:41.60\00:49:48.23
VERSE 28, "A DISREPUTABLE
(RATHER) WITNESS SCORNS JUSTICE
00:49:48.23\00:49:52.00
AND THE MOUTH OF THE
WICKED DEVOURS INIQUITY."
00:49:52.00\00:49:57.66
SO WE NEED TO BE TELLING
THE TRUTH AND WE NEED TO NOT BE
00:49:57.66\00:50:02.96
PERPETUATING LIES BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW, THE TRUTH WILL ACTUALLY,
00:50:02.96\00:50:08.20
YOU KNOW, FIND YOU OUT. I
REMEMBER ONCE AN ATTORNEY TOLD
00:50:08.20\00:50:11.66
ME A STORY ABOUT HE WAS IN
WORKMEN'S COMP AND COMP CLAIMS
00:50:11.66\00:50:16.16
AND I WOULD GO WATCH THESE CASES
SOMETIMES WHEN I WAS A PASTOR.
00:50:16.16\00:50:19.26
AND I'M NOW A PASTOR AGAIN, BUT
- AND I LOVE - I LOVE THAT WORK
00:50:19.26\00:50:23.93
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU GET
TO MEET PEOPLE AND SEE WHAT THEY
00:50:23.93\00:50:26.13
DO. BUT I WENT
WITH THESE FOLKS TO A
00:50:26.13\00:50:28.00
COURT CASE AND THEY WERE
ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE SURE THESE
00:50:28.00\00:50:31.03
WORKMEN'S COMP - THAT
THEY'D GET THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT.
00:50:31.03\00:50:34.03
AND THEY'D HAVE THIS ATTORNEY ON
ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER SIDE AND
00:50:34.03\00:50:36.16
THEY WERE ACTING LIKE SOMETHING
HAD HAPPENED AND THEY WERE
00:50:36.16\00:50:38.23
REALLY, REALLY KIND OF
TRYING TO LIE, BASICALLY.
00:50:38.23\00:50:40.43
AND THIS GUY HAD HAD IT IN THE
BAG AND IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS
00:50:40.43\00:50:43.76
GOING TO WIN THIS HUGE
SETTLEMENT AND THEN THE OTHER
00:50:43.76\00:50:46.70
ATTORNEY GETS UP AND
SAYS, 'I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU A FEW
00:50:46.70\00:50:48.40
QUESTIONS.' AND HE SAYS - HE
SAYS TO HIM - HE SAYS TO HIM,
00:50:48.40\00:50:51.56
'LOOK, YOU KNOW, WOULD YOU
PLEASE RAISE UP YOUR HAND AS
00:50:51.56\00:50:55.36
HIGH AS YOU CAN TO SHOW THE
LACK OF MOTION FOR THAT INJURY?'
00:50:55.36\00:51:01.76
SO HE DOES, LIKE THAT. AND
THEN HE GOES, 'AND JUST FOR
00:51:01.76\00:51:08.06
COMPARISON, WHAT WAS IT
LIKE BEFORE THE INJURY?'
00:51:08.06\00:51:11.13
(RAISES ARM FULLY) AND,
OF COURSE, HE LOST THE CASE.
00:51:11.13\00:51:17.96
YOU KNOW, THE THING IS, OUR SINS
WILL FIND US OUT MANY TIMES.
00:51:17.96\00:51:24.20
SO THE BEST THING -
THE BEST THING IS TO WHAT?
00:51:24.20\00:51:27.50
IS TO TELL THE
TRUTH. TELL THE TRUTH.
00:51:27.50\00:51:30.60
AND WE NEED TO TELL THE
TRUTH ABOUT OTHERS, TOO.
00:51:30.60\00:51:34.56
YOU KNOW, ANOTHER STORY, AS
WE CLOSE UP HERE - YOU KNOW, AND
00:51:34.56\00:51:37.86
THIS IS FROM PROVERBS 26:28, "A
LYING TONGUE HATES ITS VICTIMS
00:51:37.86\00:51:41.50
AND A FLATTERING
MOUTH WORKS RUINS."
00:51:41.50\00:51:43.53
TELLING THE TRUTH - YOU KNOW,
YEARS AGO, IF I WAS TO ASK YOU
00:51:43.53\00:51:48.13
'WHAT DOES A VIKING LOOK
LIKE?' WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
00:51:48.13\00:51:50.56
YOU WOULD HAVE A
PICTURE IN YOUR MIND OF WHAT?
00:51:50.56\00:51:53.73
A VIKING. HORNS, RIGHT?
00:51:53.73\00:51:56.93
DO YOU KNOW THEY'VE NEVER FOUND
ANY EXAMPLES FROM HISTORY WHERE
00:51:56.93\00:52:01.76
THEY HAD THESE
HELMETS ON WITH HORNS.
00:52:01.76\00:52:03.96
DO YOU KNOW
WHERE THEY CAME FROM?
00:52:03.96\00:52:05.43
CHRISTIANS WHO WERE TALKING
ABOUT THOSE VIKINGS AND THEY
00:52:05.43\00:52:08.80
SAID, 'THESE ARE LIKE DEMONS
THAT ARE COMING TO ATTACK US.'
00:52:08.80\00:52:11.36
AND THEY PUT
HORNS ON THE PICTURES.
00:52:11.36\00:52:13.23
BUT IT STUCK - IT STUCK, RIGHT?
SO SOMETIMES THE LIES WE TELL
00:52:13.23\00:52:19.50
OTHERS, THEY SOMETIMES STICK.
HOW MANY OF YOU - HOW MANY OF
00:52:19.50\00:52:23.20
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
TELLING LIES ABOUT OTHERS?
00:52:23.20\00:52:25.26
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT, THROUGH
THE POWER OF GOD, THE FIGHTS TO
00:52:25.26\00:52:29.13
STOP IN YOUR FAMILY? YOU
MIGHT HAVE PINNED SOME HORNS
00:52:29.13\00:52:32.06
ON YOUR WIFE AND YOU'RE GOING TO
SAY, 'BY GOD'S GRACE, I'M GOING
00:52:32.06\00:52:36.80
TO DO EVERYTHING TO
TAKE THOSE HORNS OFF.
00:52:36.80\00:52:39.13
THAT'S NOT THE TRUTH. I
DIDN'T TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT MY
00:52:39.13\00:52:40.93
WIFE.' YOU MIGHT HAVE
SAID, 'YOU KNOW, MY HUSBAND IS A
00:52:40.93\00:52:43.96
COMPLETE...' -
WHATEVER YOU CALLED HIM.
00:52:43.96\00:52:46.63
SAY, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT
RIGHT. THERE'S OTHER THINGS.
00:52:46.63\00:52:49.86
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO
MAKE YOUR HUSBAND LOOK GOOD?
00:52:49.86\00:52:52.20
YOU MIGHT SAY THAT ABOUT YOUR
KIDS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
00:52:52.20\00:52:54.56
MAYBE YOUR CHURCH IS
IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT.
00:52:54.56\00:52:56.33
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT IS. YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:52:56.33\00:52:58.30
THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO
BE FIGHTING IN GOD'S CHURCH.
00:52:58.30\00:53:01.43
IT'S REALLY NOT.
WE'VE GOT AN ENEMY TO FIGHT.
00:53:01.43\00:53:03.90
WE DON'T HAVE ANY
BUSINESS FIGHTING EACH OTHER.
00:53:03.90\00:53:05.96
AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S
GOING TO HELP US? GOD'S WORD.
00:53:05.96\00:53:09.33
IF WE LOOK AT HIS WORD - WE JUST
SIMPLY TAKE IT AS IT PLAINLY
00:53:09.33\00:53:12.40
READS, YOU KNOW
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?
00:53:12.40\00:53:15.96
GOD'S GOING TO COME IN.
HE'S GOING TO CHANGE THINGS.
00:53:15.96\00:53:20.40
HOW MANY WANT THAT
TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE?
00:53:20.40\00:53:22.06
HOW MANY WANT THERE
TO BE AN END TO FIGHTS?
00:53:22.06\00:53:24.50
HASN'T IT BEEN GREAT STUDYING
PROVERBS? AND GUESS WHAT?
00:53:24.50\00:53:27.53
NEXT WEEK WE'RE
GOING TO STUDY AGAIN.
00:53:27.53\00:53:29.16

>>AMAZING FACTS CHANGED LIVES.
00:53:35.36\00:53:48.96
>>WELL, MY CONVERSION STORY IS
WHEN I WAS IN THE PHILIPPINES I
00:53:48.96\00:53:53.03
JUST GRADUATED AS A NURSE AND
AFTERWARDS I DID NOT HAVE ANY
00:53:53.03\00:53:58.66
RELIGION AND ONE TIME I FOUND
MYSELF INSIDE A SMALL CHURCH -
00:53:58.66\00:54:04.70
CATHOLIC CHURCH IN MANILLA -
AND BEFORE A BIG CROSS AND I WAS
00:54:04.70\00:54:12.13
KNEELING BEFORE AND I COULD HEAR
JESUS TELLING ME TO ENTER THE
00:54:12.13\00:54:17.46
CONVENT, SAVE
MYSELF, AND ALSO MY FAMILY.
00:54:17.46\00:54:21.76
AND I SAID, 'LORD, I WOULD LIKE
TO FOLLOW YOU ALL THE WAY.' AT
00:54:21.76\00:54:24.73
THAT POINT I SEEMED TO BE HAPPY,
EXTERNALLY, BUT BECAUSE INSIDE
00:54:24.73\00:54:29.90
THE CONVENT WE DON'T READ THE
BIBLE - WE DON'T STUDY ABOUT THE
00:54:29.90\00:54:34.00
WORD OF GOD, WE PRAY THE
ROSARIES. WE ALSO, AT THE SAME
00:54:34.00\00:54:38.46
TIME, STUDY THE LIVES OF
THE SAINTS AND ALSO OUR FOUNDERS
00:54:38.46\00:54:42.60
AND THE ENCYCLICALS OF
THE POPE, AND THE VIRGIN MARY.
00:54:42.60\00:54:47.46
AND SO I DO NOT KNOW THE
TRUTH AND I HAD THIS TORTURE OF
00:54:47.46\00:54:50.76
CONSCIENCE - THE GUILTY FEELINGS
THAT CANNOT BE RESOLVED.
00:54:50.76\00:54:55.56
SO I WOULD CONFESS TO THE PRIEST
IN THE CONFESSIONAL BOX SAYING,
00:54:55.56\00:54:58.80
'FATHER, FORGIVE ME.
SINCE MY LAST CONFESSION WAS
00:54:58.80\00:55:03.40
LAST WEEK - SINCE THEN I
HAVE COMMITTED THE FOLLOWING SIN
00:55:03.40\00:55:07.36
INCLUDING THE ROOT CAUSE, 'WHY
AM I FALLING AND FALLING IN THAT
00:55:07.36\00:55:11.93
SAME SIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN?'
AND STILL, FOR 21 LONG YEARS I
00:55:11.93\00:55:17.23
STRUGGLE AND I
STRUGGLE AND I STRUGGLE.
00:55:17.23\00:55:21.50
I REALIZED THAT I
WAS TOTALLY EMPTY.
00:55:21.50\00:55:25.33
I WAS TOTALLY HELPLESS AND
HOPELESS AND SO DEPRESSED AND SO
00:55:25.33\00:55:30.60
DESPERATE THAT I WOULD
LIKE ALREADY TO END MY LIFE.
00:55:30.60\00:55:34.53
I WAS WORKING FOR FIVE YEARS AS
DEAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SAINT
00:55:34.53\00:55:39.43
AUGUSTINE COLLEGE OF
NURSING IN ILOILO ILOILO CITY,
00:55:39.43\00:55:42.93
ONE OF THE ISLANDS
OF THE PHILIPPINES.
00:55:42.93\00:55:45.76
AFTER FIVE YEARS I RECEIVED
MY COMMISSION FROM MY PARENTS TO
00:55:45.76\00:55:50.80
HELP MY SISTER WHO IS
BEING A BATTERED WOMAN.
00:55:50.80\00:55:55.53
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I
CAME OVER TO THE UNITED STATES.
00:55:55.53\00:56:00.40
IT IS BECAUSE MY SISTER NEEDS
MY HELP. AS I WAS WORKING IN THE
00:56:00.40\00:56:06.33
HOSPITAL IN NEW YORK, MY BOSS,
SERAPHIN, HE WAS SO GRACIOUS
00:56:06.33\00:56:09.80
ENOUGH TO GIVE ME AN INVITATION
TO THE 'MILLENIUM OF PROPHECY'.
00:56:09.80\00:56:14.23
AS I WAS LISTENING TO PASTOR
DOUG BATCHELOR'S PRESENTATION,
00:56:14.23\00:56:19.03
MY HEART REALLY WAS BEATING SO
FAST AND MY MIND - I AM ABLE TO
00:56:19.03\00:56:24.50
GRASP THE TRUTH THAT THIS IS THE
TRUTH THAT I'VE BEEN LONGING TO
00:56:24.50\00:56:30.26
HEAR ALL MY LIFE - THAT I
HAVE BEEN SEEKING FOR SO LONG.
00:56:30.26\00:56:35.26
MY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH
JESUS - I CAN SEE JESUS AS MY
00:56:35.26\00:56:40.43
PERSONAL SAVIOR. HE IS
NOT ONLY THE SAVIOR OF THE
00:56:40.43\00:56:44.10
WHOLE WORLD, BUT HE
IS MY PERSONAL SAVIOR.
00:56:44.10\00:56:48.20
HE WAS THE ONE WHO DELIVERED ME
MIGHTILY FROM THE DEPTHS OF SIN
00:56:48.20\00:56:54.36
- FROM THE MIREY CLAY.
PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR HAS BEEN
00:56:54.36\00:56:57.90
USED BY THE LORD
IN MY CONVERSION.
00:56:57.90\00:57:01.60
THE AMAZING
FACTS - I OWE TO THEM.
00:57:01.60\00:57:04.13
THE LORD REALLY BLESSED THIS
MINISTRY AND I'M SO PROUD I WAS
00:57:04.13\00:57:09.86
ABLE TO ATTEND THIS
'MILLENIUM OF PROPHECY'.
00:57:09.86\00:57:13.70
MY LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME.
IT HAS GIVEN ME THAT PEACE -
00:57:13.70\00:57:18.20
THAT JOY THAT NEVER - I
HAVE NEVER TASTED IN MY LIFE.
00:57:18.20\00:57:24.46
NOW I AM SET FREE TO BE ABLE TO
WORK FOR HIM AND TO FOLLOW HIM.
00:57:24.46\00:57:41.83
>>IN SIX DAYS GOD CREATED
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
00:57:41.83\00:57:44.80
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, MAN HAS
WORSHIPED GOD ON THE SEVENTH DAY
00:57:44.80\00:57:49.43
OF THE WEEK. NOW,
EACH WEEK, MILLIONS OF
00:57:49.43\00:57:52.40
PEOPLE WORSHIP ON THE
FIRST DAY. WHAT HAPPENED?
00:57:52.40\00:57:56.00
WHY DID GOD
CREATE A DAY OF REST?
00:57:56.00\00:57:58.20
DOES IT REALLY
MATTER WHAT DAY WE WORSHIP?
00:57:58.20\00:58:01.03
WHO WAS BEHIND THIS GREAT SHIFT.
