Welcome to Thinking About Home
00:00:31.49\00:00:32.92
I'm Kathy Matthews,
thank you for coming
00:00:32.93\00:00:34.73
back and being with us again.
00:00:34.74\00:00:35.90
Rick we are back
again, here we are we are
00:00:36.73\00:00:40.15
doing a series on the
Christian family living
00:00:40.16\00:00:44.86
in the last days and
of course there's been
00:00:44.87\00:00:47.84
Christian families
all the way back those who
00:00:47.85\00:00:50.91
are committed to God
but surely the families
00:00:50.92\00:00:54.37
that live in the last
days are in the greatest
00:00:54.38\00:00:57.81
jeopardy, because
Jesus himself said, Karen he
00:00:57.82\00:01:01.86
said, look out for the
last days because there
00:01:01.87\00:01:04.99
would be deceptions
and these deceptions
00:01:05.00\00:01:07.66
would be done by
the devil himself.
00:01:07.67\00:01:09.07
In fact before it would
over, the devil would be
00:01:09.08\00:01:11.52
appearing as an angel
of light and so I think its
00:01:12.03\00:01:15.04
important that we
understand that the
00:01:15.05\00:01:17.82
average person is
not going to call it a
00:01:17.83\00:01:19.92
deception, a
deception or it wouldn't be a
00:01:19.93\00:01:21.87
deception,
right, in other words,
00:01:21.88\00:01:23.29
the deceptions of the
last days are going to be
00:01:23.30\00:01:25.42
very, very, like
subtle, subtle, they're gonna be
00:01:25.43\00:01:28.45
credible, the devil
is going to be telling us
00:01:28.46\00:01:32.32
what we want to
hear, itching ears.
00:01:32.33\00:01:35.12
This is the way that
the scripture refers to,
00:01:35.92\00:01:37.49
right and so there
comes a generation that
00:01:37.50\00:01:41.87
likes to be
deceived. I think somewhere in
00:01:41.88\00:01:44.68
Revelation it says
that those who are lost are
00:01:44.69\00:01:47.81
the people who tell
lies habitually obviously,
00:01:47.82\00:01:50.03
and then it says
also the people we lost
00:01:50.36\00:01:52.75
will be those who
loved to hear lies.
00:01:52.76\00:01:54.20
And so we live in a
kind of a time in which
00:01:55.01\00:01:57.99
the deception is
going on and the Christian
00:01:58.00\00:02:00.84
family in the last
days must be alert,
00:02:00.85\00:02:02.73
they're really up
again, we're really up against
00:02:02.74\00:02:04.89
more than ever before
obviously, it's the last
00:02:04.90\00:02:07.05
days, the devil
is as a roaring lion,
00:02:07.06\00:02:08.96
seeking who he
might devour, he is going
00:02:09.34\00:02:11.15
around angry. How can
we think it's anything
00:02:11.16\00:02:14.34
else expect that he has
got more that he will try
00:02:14.35\00:02:17.59
to get us with then ever before.
00:02:17.60\00:02:19.34
And of course
Jesus said when you talk
00:02:19.63\00:02:21.40
about Him as a roaring
lion he doesn't go about
00:02:21.41\00:02:23.82
as, although he is
really like a roaring lion,
00:02:23.83\00:02:27.70
he is dressed
in sheep's clothes.
00:02:27.71\00:02:29.46
And so he is
liable to be going baa.
00:02:30.07\00:02:31.84
Its sounding, he
doesn't gonna go roar,
00:02:32.39\00:02:34.92
that's right, he is
misrepresenting the truth.
00:02:34.93\00:02:37.77
Anyway in this
program we want to talk about,
00:02:38.66\00:02:41.58
we want to talk
about talk, we want to talk
00:02:41.96\00:02:43.35
about talking.
You always had some
00:02:43.36\00:02:44.94
goodie last
night, yes anyway before,
00:02:44.95\00:02:47.21
before I came to
the program you brought
00:02:47.22\00:02:49.42
this baby toys this
time, this is Elmo they say
00:02:49.43\00:02:51.82
I wouldn't have
known this was Elmo
00:02:51.83\00:02:53.38
if somebody had to
tell me Karen that this was
00:02:53.62\00:02:55.65
Elmo but anyway I
have 8 grandchildren,
00:02:55.66\00:03:00.61
and so I called up
my daughter-in-law and
00:03:01.59\00:03:06.44
I said does Megan have
any of her dolls that talk
00:03:06.88\00:03:09.86
and you got this
one. Elmo talks, you want
00:03:10.67\00:03:12.95
hear him talk,
yeah, let's hear him talk.
00:03:12.96\00:03:14.79
"You're Elmo's sweetheart."
00:03:14.80\00:03:16.17
You are. It says,
you're Elmo's sweetheart.
00:03:17.69\00:03:20.19
"Elmo loves you."
See, isn't that incredible,
00:03:20.20\00:03:23.98
everything you believe
him, or is he deceiving you.
00:03:24.31\00:03:27.22
See this is an
interesting point that you're
00:03:27.65\00:03:29.50
making Kathy because
these days everything talks.
00:03:29.51\00:03:32.48
I was getting on a
plane not long ago and the
00:03:33.85\00:03:36.17
pilot was testing
the systems, happen to be
00:03:36.18\00:03:38.69
sitting up towards
the front and he must have
00:03:38.70\00:03:40.66
been hitting buttons
because I heard a voice
00:03:40.67\00:03:42.19
inside say, your right
engine is on fire and he
00:03:42.20\00:03:44.73
hit another button says
your left engine is on fire.
00:03:44.74\00:03:46.38
Obviously it wasn't,
we weren't off the ground,
00:03:46.59\00:03:48.23
but I guess what we're
saying is everything is
00:03:48.63\00:03:49.90
talking these days.
You lift up a telephone
00:03:49.91\00:03:52.17
a voice will you
know start talking to you,
00:03:52.49\00:03:54.59
its nobody, it's a
computer chip, right,
00:03:54.82\00:03:57.81
or its, its Elmo and
so we want to talk about
00:03:57.82\00:04:05.09
talking and so I
looked at some stats Karen and
00:04:05.10\00:04:10.03
can I share these
stats, okay, and here they are.
00:04:10.04\00:04:13.46
The Oxford English
dictionary and obvious
00:04:13.77\00:04:16.38
the people who are
listening to us speak
00:04:16.66\00:04:18.53
English but surely
the program is coming
00:04:18.54\00:04:21.09
down with other
languages but we're
00:04:21.10\00:04:23.90
gonna speak about
the English language and
00:04:23.91\00:04:25.78
this says the
Oxford English dictionary
00:04:25.79\00:04:28.16
contains some
290,000 entries with 616,000
00:04:28.56\00:04:36.16
word forms. And
it says, how many of
00:04:36.17\00:04:39.79
them do you know, now
listen to this and you
00:04:39.80\00:04:41.75
will find out how many you know.
00:04:41.76\00:04:42.73
It says there are
about 200,000 words in
00:04:44.13\00:04:46.90
everyday use, now
here where we separate the
00:04:46.91\00:04:50.41
men from the boys,
the girls from the women.
00:04:50.65\00:04:52.30
An educated
person, well, he has a
00:04:52.70\00:04:56.20
vocabulary of about
20,000 words and uses
00:04:56.21\00:05:00.33
about 2000 words in
a week's conversation
00:05:00.34\00:05:04.87
and then I written
down here each word has a
00:05:06.53\00:05:08.73
meaning on which
we would understand
00:05:08.74\00:05:10.62
though the
meaning may vary by usage,
00:05:11.08\00:05:13.23
and anyway the point
that we want to discuss
00:05:14.62\00:05:18.60
because it has a
bearing is that although we
00:05:18.97\00:05:21.68
speak in body
language you know and we write
00:05:21.69\00:05:24.62
each other letters,
mostly we communicate in
00:05:24.63\00:05:27.37
words and how
important it is then that
00:05:27.38\00:05:30.65
as Christians we in the
last days you learn how,
00:05:30.66\00:05:35.23
make our words be
more meaningful and be
00:05:35.24\00:05:38.73
very
understandable, appropriate,
00:05:38.74\00:05:41.76
and appropriate and
for Christians to speak
00:05:41.77\00:05:44.89
with Kings English is
that lost, you ever hear that
00:05:44.90\00:05:48.35
anymore, you ever
heard anybody saying
00:05:48.36\00:05:49.73
the Kings English, what
King are we talking about.
00:05:49.74\00:05:52.49
That's a good question
Karen this is too old for
00:05:53.74\00:05:57.81
you, thank you and
she feel so complimented,
00:05:57.82\00:06:02.97
but I can't remember
in my lifetime I think we
00:06:03.27\00:06:08.07
always had a Queen.
We might had a King in
00:06:08.08\00:06:10.22
England but
anyway they talked about
00:06:10.23\00:06:13.10
English Karen as
the Kings English and so
00:06:13.11\00:06:15.98
I heard a good one,
one time where a fellow in
00:06:15.99\00:06:18.44
Brooklyn, because you
mentioned the Kings English.
00:06:18.45\00:06:21.30
A fellow in
Brooklyn was listening to the
00:06:21.31\00:06:22.62
radio and the King of
England, England had a
00:06:22.63\00:06:24.89
King in those
days was giving a radio
00:06:24.90\00:06:26.75
broadcast, it
was being broadcast
00:06:26.76\00:06:28.38
internationally and
of course you the English
00:06:28.39\00:06:31.05
people have their
accent so this person from
00:06:31.37\00:06:33.24
Brooklyn is listening
to this what is this and so
00:06:33.25\00:06:36.65
the Brooklyn person
said I don't know who
00:06:36.66\00:06:39.01
that guy is but he
surely does murdered the
00:06:39.02\00:06:40.72
Kings English, he
was the King, he was the
00:06:40.73\00:06:43.57
King himself, I
don't know who that guy is
00:06:43.58\00:06:45.35
but he surely
murdered the Kings English.
00:06:45.36\00:06:47.72
Anyway, anyway, I'm
not sure what to say
00:06:48.77\00:06:51.42
about that, I don't
think there is anyway,
00:06:51.43\00:06:54.06
I guess it's a
point of prospective.
00:06:54.53\00:06:56.75
I've a little
granddaughter named
00:06:58.96\00:07:02.21
Megan and she is gonna
be four, that you get it
00:07:02.22\00:07:06.27
right, you know the
little boy Evan Michael
00:07:06.28\00:07:08.86
he is a year and half,
is he starting to talk yet
00:07:08.87\00:07:12.27
any, yeah he
actually started talking,
00:07:12.28\00:07:14.94
saying words
sooner than most boys,
00:07:16.14\00:07:19.26
usually girls are the
one's that speak sooner,
00:07:19.27\00:07:21.56
is that so, yes they
do, but he's his mother's
00:07:21.57\00:07:24.67
son, so what's
that suppose to me,
00:07:24.68\00:07:28.50
what he says, and so
he is saying little words
00:07:28.51\00:07:34.30
even at his
age. Yeah, well I can
00:07:34.31\00:07:36.98
remember one thing
that was very important
00:07:36.99\00:07:39.55
to me was as he was
growing and hearing us,
00:07:39.56\00:07:43.19
my husband and I speak
to him that we would be
00:07:43.68\00:07:46.54
using language
that was very clear,
00:07:46.55\00:07:49.09
I grew up in an age
where bad meant good
00:07:49.81\00:07:53.02
and sick meant cruel
and so, yeah it can be
00:07:53.63\00:07:57.65
very confusing and I
wanted to just be very
00:07:57.66\00:08:00.90
clear enunciate
words very clearly,
00:08:00.91\00:08:03.48
we can be very
sloppy in the way.
00:08:04.98\00:08:06.65
What were some of the
words that you thought
00:08:06.66\00:08:08.10
I'm just well I
think you learned, clothing
00:08:08.11\00:08:10.22
like the word
clothing, when we say in the
00:08:10.23\00:08:13.53
short term its
cloths, sounds like close the
00:08:13.54\00:08:15.93
door, I'm putting on
my cloths, its not proper,
00:08:15.94\00:08:19.16
its and I don't know if
the phonetical but it just
00:08:19.17\00:08:22.05
seems proper to me
when I want to speak
00:08:22.06\00:08:24.69
clear and proper English well,
00:08:24.70\00:08:26.51
it would be it
came from desires,
00:08:26.52\00:08:28.23
to just not necessarily
because the word close
00:08:28.76\00:08:31.83
is anything
particularly important but, no,
00:08:31.84\00:08:33.78
that's one that
you remember is because
00:08:33.79\00:08:36.04
you wanted to speak
clearly to your son.
00:08:36.05\00:08:37.87
Because I came
from a background where
00:08:37.88\00:08:39.55
everything was just
like I mean my son as a
00:08:39.56\00:08:44.43
child would not
understand what I was
00:08:44.44\00:08:46.20
saying if I spoke to
him the way I did while
00:08:46.21\00:08:47.75
I was in high school.
Just kind of slang, slang
00:08:47.76\00:08:50.41
oh that was bad and
my mother said what you
00:08:50.42\00:08:53.02
mean by that,
well that means good,
00:08:53.03\00:08:55.63
so I just wanted
something different,
00:08:55.89\00:08:58.23
I wanted
something more proper and
00:08:58.24\00:09:00.75
I wanted to allow
myself to feel more
00:09:00.76\00:09:04.17
educated coming from
the background I did,
00:09:05.11\00:09:06.82
it helped, it enabled
me to feel more proper and
00:09:07.17\00:09:10.68
to change your
language, to change my language.
00:09:11.54\00:09:13.92
Well she is saying
is something that's
00:09:13.93\00:09:15.64
interesting Kathy
because though she had
00:09:15.65\00:09:18.59
a son she was just
talking anyway that
00:09:18.60\00:09:21.13
you know what would
occur and so suddenly
00:09:21.70\00:09:24.85
she realized it now
she is teaching her own son
00:09:24.86\00:09:27.50
to speak and suddenly
she says I don't think
00:09:27.51\00:09:29.76
I want him to sound like me.
00:09:29.77\00:09:31.02
It's amazing
what will motivate us,
00:09:31.67\00:09:32.90
and so he is learning
to talk, he says little
00:09:32.91\00:09:36.62
words, does he says
daddy and mama, yeah,
00:09:36.63\00:09:39.07
yes, he says daddy
and mommy his first words
00:09:39.72\00:09:42.27
were hot, does he
say no, is he into no or,
00:09:42.28\00:09:46.93
well yes he has, yes he
has but we are trying to,
00:09:47.09\00:09:50.04
we're trying to keep
his, okay come out with it,
00:09:51.87\00:09:56.49
we are trying to make
sure that he says it for
00:09:56.50\00:09:58.30
in an appropriate
time, that's interesting,
00:09:58.31\00:10:00.17
then he start being
rebellious and that's right.
00:10:00.18\00:10:02.08
But of course I think
that this is one of the
00:10:02.74\00:10:04.71
easier words
because I remember Megan she
00:10:04.72\00:10:07.72
didn't learn yes
for a long, long time.
00:10:07.73\00:10:09.41
I don't know
whether yes is harder to
00:10:09.42\00:10:12.28
pronounce, well
there might be something
00:10:12.29\00:10:13.35
behind that, and so
they experiment with that
00:10:13.36\00:10:15.83
no, its kind of an
expression of their,
00:10:15.84\00:10:17.84
after all no is an
expression of the will
00:10:18.27\00:10:20.14
while yes is an
ascent, yes, yes, so when I say
00:10:20.15\00:10:23.24
no I'm expressing
myself when I say yes
00:10:23.25\00:10:26.24
I'm letting you
express yourself.
00:10:26.25\00:10:27.79
I never thought of
that, I never either,
00:10:28.39\00:10:30.01
that's another profound
thing you come out with.
00:10:30.02\00:10:32.86
Now what about your
own children Sarah and
00:10:33.63\00:10:36.03
Rachel you remember
when they began to talk.
00:10:36.04\00:10:37.88
Well yes I do and
Sarah was much like
00:10:37.89\00:10:40.59
that, Rachel was a
little more like Evans, Evans
00:10:40.60\00:10:43.39
right now is not
really clear for him, no,
00:10:43.40\00:10:45.88
but he has quite
a vocabulary, if you
00:10:46.11\00:10:49.58
know what he is
saying there are many words
00:10:49.59\00:10:51.86
and he is only
18 months old but he
00:10:51.87\00:10:53.62
started at 14 months or
so, 10 months is it hot,
00:10:53.63\00:10:57.40
and then I taught them
to do sign language but
00:10:57.41\00:10:59.89
I remember that
Rachel we had to have Sarah
00:11:00.13\00:11:03.58
interpret for her
for all of us to really
00:11:03.59\00:11:05.89
understand but Sarah
started saying sentences
00:11:05.90\00:11:08.53
when she started talking.
Is that so, yes it is and
00:11:08.54\00:11:11.64
she was quite
young and her words were
00:11:11.65\00:11:15.03
very clear. She was
all, she enunciated very
00:11:15.04\00:11:17.77
well I don't understand
how she did it but she
00:11:17.78\00:11:20.24
did it. Coming from
the old Southern woman
00:11:20.25\00:11:22.46
here I don't
understand how she did it but,
00:11:22.47\00:11:24.78
I gotta tell you this
Karen this is crazy and
00:11:25.17\00:11:27.44
a little off the
subject because we're talking
00:11:27.45\00:11:28.90
about and I thought
about my grandchildren
00:11:28.91\00:11:31.20
at the stage she is
talking about her girls
00:11:31.21\00:11:33.93
when they were little
of course my youngest is
00:11:33.94\00:11:37.67
four months old, my
youngest, he is a grand
00:11:37.68\00:11:39.28
you know a little boy
and of course Megan is
00:11:39.29\00:11:42.04
his sister and so I
heard this joke, its so crazy
00:11:42.05\00:11:45.36
and so I called
you know I called my
00:11:45.37\00:11:47.46
daughter in law I say
and she will say hello,
00:11:47.47\00:11:50.38
and I'll say this is
dad may I speak to Ryan
00:11:50.39\00:11:52.49
please and so this is
our liberality but dad Ryan
00:11:52.50\00:11:56.64
is only four months
that's okay I'll wait,
00:11:56.65\00:11:58.65
but anyway Ryan
gonna, Ryan is going
00:12:00.86\00:12:02.66
to, Ryan's going to
say grandpa one day,
00:12:02.67\00:12:05.42
some day because
its been so much fun for
00:12:05.43\00:12:08.05
me as a grandpa and
I of course I can't say
00:12:08.06\00:12:10.19
enough about being
a grandpa and I should
00:12:10.20\00:12:12.66
put a little commercial
her for us grandmas and
00:12:12.67\00:12:14.73
grandpas, anyway
you know somewhere along
00:12:14.74\00:12:17.66
the line my
grandchildren began to call me
00:12:17.67\00:12:20.80
grandpa honey,
grandpa honey, you like that,
00:12:20.81\00:12:23.76
yeah, grandpa honey,
now sometimes they'll
00:12:23.77\00:12:27.60
say pop or you know
these different words
00:12:27.61\00:12:29.42
papa or something
but I'm grandpa but I'm
00:12:29.43\00:12:32.06
grandpa honey and
I've a grandson and he's
00:12:32.07\00:12:36.93
some 16 or something
17 and of course he is
00:12:36.94\00:12:39.28
on the computer and
so you know when we're
00:12:39.29\00:12:41.08
doing this what
they call it this really,
00:12:41.66\00:12:43.41
you know I don't I'm
not old that, I forget
00:12:43.42\00:12:45.52
you know when
somebody is on the air
00:12:45.53\00:12:47.48
it will tell you that
somebody is on the air
00:12:47.49\00:12:49.17
and suddenly I'll
be on the computer, oh!
00:12:49.18\00:12:50.64
Instant messaging,
instant messaging and
00:12:50.65\00:12:52.58
so I typing along and
suddenly there is a pop
00:12:52.59\00:12:54.52
on and Bucky is on the
air and a little window
00:12:54.53\00:12:57.30
come on, hi honey,
so I'm grandpa honey,
00:12:57.31\00:13:01.17
and for a 17 year
old that's kind of nice,
00:13:01.18\00:13:02.99
I like that very
much and I think.
00:13:03.45\00:13:07.48
And I think our
little girl in those days,
00:13:09.33\00:13:11.44
Cindy, I think she
talked pretty soon too,
00:13:11.45\00:13:13.81
I kind of wonder if the
first child doesn't start
00:13:14.16\00:13:17.27
talking because
you're talking to them more
00:13:17.28\00:13:19.56
and very possible if and
then the others just sort
00:13:19.57\00:13:22.67
of acted out and the
older one's interrupt,
00:13:22.68\00:13:24.67
well they have a lot
more interaction with
00:13:25.49\00:13:26.86
the other children in
the family and probably
00:13:26.87\00:13:29.48
less interaction
with the parents.
00:13:31.10\00:13:32.33
And no anyway its
you know the memories and
00:13:33.82\00:13:36.88
of course we all
learned to talk I remember
00:13:36.89\00:13:38.82
Karen speaking
and learning to talk,
00:13:38.83\00:13:40.87
you think you know how to talk,
00:13:41.88\00:13:43.01
go to another
country where they speak
00:13:43.02\00:13:44.86
another language and
you find out you don't, why?
00:13:44.87\00:13:47.93
Why do you think
so, you speak Spanish?
00:13:49.74\00:13:51.72
No, oh! That's
what I talking about,
00:13:51.73\00:13:53.82
you know I was 32 when
we went to South America
00:13:54.28\00:13:58.42
and I has studied
Spanish in high school
00:13:59.42\00:14:01.95
but you know how that
is when you study in the
00:14:01.96\00:14:03.63
high school you neve
really catch on unless
00:14:03.64\00:14:06.42
you're a good A
student which I must not have
00:14:06.43\00:14:08.53
been, and then they
call, well you need to be
00:14:08.54\00:14:11.23
immersed in the
culture, that's it see and
00:14:11.24\00:14:13.32
I remember landing
down there in South
00:14:13.33\00:14:15.03
America and suddenly
you know due respects
00:14:15.04\00:14:19.21
I'm fully fluent in
Spanish now but when
00:14:19.76\00:14:22.23
you hit the
foreign countries you know
00:14:22.24\00:14:23.58
foreign to us but
these languages sounds like,
00:14:23.59\00:14:25.80
I know its such speed
and all its going so fast
00:14:26.93\00:14:30.84
you can't tell one
word from the next,
00:14:30.85\00:14:33.29
I know, you think you
can talk suddenly your
00:14:33.30\00:14:35.88
gift of speech is wiped out.
00:14:35.89\00:14:37.86
I can remember Karen
when I was down there
00:14:39.28\00:14:42.50
I used to pray oh!
God you are the one that
00:14:42.51\00:14:44.79
confused the
languages. Yeah, yeah, can't you
00:14:44.80\00:14:47.29
do me a favor and help
me out this and he gave
00:14:47.30\00:14:50.47
me the gift, the
gift, really you learned
00:14:50.48\00:14:52.53
quickly, it took me
a year to unwrap it.
00:14:52.54\00:14:54.90
I think you have
to see what you have,
00:14:56.02\00:14:58.20
I left the gift and unwrap it,
00:14:58.21\00:14:59.87
it took a while for
you to learn, oh yeah,
00:14:59.88\00:15:01.25
yeah it really did and
but, but I look back on
00:15:01.26\00:15:04.00
it and I feel so
shall I say ashamed,
00:15:04.01\00:15:06.58
Karen I took my kids
and put them in Spanish
00:15:07.12\00:15:09.47
school and we're talking
about a girl 12 years old
00:15:09.48\00:15:13.06
and you know how
sensitive you would be
00:15:14.21\00:15:15.45
and your landed in,
you couldn't speak it all,
00:15:15.61\00:15:19.17
well but they
learned, they learned to speak
00:15:19.45\00:15:22.69
Spanish fluently and
the thing I think that this
00:15:22.70\00:15:25.79
is the thing that
is amazing with Evan,
00:15:25.80\00:15:27.80
Karen is that he
is learning to speak a
00:15:28.33\00:15:31.13
language and he is
never asking what the
00:15:31.14\00:15:32.74
word means. See
when I went down to learn
00:15:32.75\00:15:35.14
Spanish, interesting,
I had to do every word,
00:15:35.15\00:15:37.51
every word, what
does that mean, what does
00:15:37.52\00:15:39.38
this mean and, for
you to relate, when you
00:15:39.39\00:15:42.51
learn a foreign
language as an adult you have to
00:15:42.52\00:15:44.64
trade word for word,
yes okay, but here when
00:15:45.07\00:15:47.63
we're little people
and we're learning a
00:15:47.64\00:15:49.84
language by
listening, we never ask what
00:15:49.85\00:15:52.45
anything means we
just hear it duplicate it,
00:15:52.46\00:15:55.02
pretty soon we build a concept
00:15:55.39\00:15:57.03
its an amazing thing.
Well this is, this has
00:15:57.42\00:16:00.02
meaning doesn't it
what you're doing here?
00:16:00.03\00:16:01.84
This is a warmup,
it's the warmup, you better
00:16:02.91\00:16:05.65
get rid of this,
before the program is over,
00:16:05.66\00:16:08.27
yes exactly, well I
think, I think what we
00:16:08.28\00:16:10.90
are saying is simply
that words are what life's
00:16:10.91\00:16:14.57
about and that we all
learned to speak one of
00:16:14.58\00:16:18.02
the great
probabilities, one of the great
00:16:18.03\00:16:19.57
miracles of development
is learning to speak.
00:16:20.00\00:16:22.56
Well you know a
moment ago you talking
00:16:22.90\00:16:24.52
about that your
children being immersed in that
00:16:24.53\00:16:26.46
when we were in
Russia, Sarah and
00:16:26.47\00:16:28.54
Rachel learned it
of course much quicker
00:16:28.55\00:16:30.45
they were 14 and 9
but they were immersed
00:16:30.46\00:16:33.77
with the young
people and Rachel,
00:16:33.78\00:16:36.63
no Sarah was working
in the kitchen and they
00:16:36.83\00:16:40.16
would help here
pronounce everything
00:16:40.17\00:16:42.65
correctly, the
throat, the mouth, the tongue,
00:16:42.66\00:16:45.70
everything and it
was important to her to
00:16:46.17\00:16:47.93
speak their
language very accurately, so,
00:16:47.94\00:16:51.32
and with the accent
just pronounce it as close to
00:16:51.33\00:16:55.52
what they pronounced
it as possible and I think
00:16:55.53\00:16:58.70
that in our language
here that we ought to
00:16:59.85\00:17:02.42
think about that
and well the way I would
00:17:02.43\00:17:05.73
relate that is
how should we talk as
00:17:05.74\00:17:09.95
Christians, shouldn't it be as
00:17:09.96\00:17:12.71
accurate and clear as possible.
00:17:12.72\00:17:15.03
You know, Amen,
someone said that if
00:17:15.80\00:17:18.49
you want to make
it impossible for your
00:17:18.50\00:17:20.76
enemy to convey his
ideology takeover his
00:17:20.77\00:17:23.58
language and I guess
because see, we got to
00:17:23.59\00:17:28.26
make some spiritual obligation
00:17:28.27\00:17:29.78
of this obviously.
I think the devil is
00:17:29.79\00:17:33.36
trying to scramble
our language, yes, yes,
00:17:33.37\00:17:36.37
he is trying to
scramble our language, and
00:17:36.38\00:17:38.91
reduce it, and reduce
it because I mean what do
00:17:38.92\00:17:41.84
we have, we have
20,000 words we are
00:17:41.85\00:17:43.53
supposed to know
we speak 2000 but
00:17:43.54\00:17:46.49
especially the
young people that you know
00:17:46.50\00:17:47.96
they don't need 2000
words, you were telling
00:17:47.97\00:17:50.02
us some of these,
no, no when I was in high
00:17:50.03\00:17:52.54
school I knew about
10 and I can get by what
00:17:52.55\00:17:54.46
everything I needed
and that's not a joke,
00:17:54.47\00:17:56.30
really it's a honest
truth. You know when I was
00:17:56.31\00:17:58.25
just sitting here
thinking and had a real
00:17:58.26\00:17:59.61
revelation I can
remember a situation
00:17:59.62\00:18:02.03
where I was living and
I met a gentleman there
00:18:02.04\00:18:06.61
he was older than
me but he was a Spanish
00:18:06.62\00:18:08.10
gentleman he was
Hispanic so he was
00:18:08.11\00:18:10.22
from Mexico so the
Spanish that he learned
00:18:10.23\00:18:12.51
was a different
dialect then it is in Spain.
00:18:12.52\00:18:15.57
Spanish is one
language however and when its
00:18:16.58\00:18:19.14
proper Spanish all
that speaks Spanish no
00:18:19.15\00:18:21.91
matter if you are
from Mexico, from Spain
00:18:21.92\00:18:23.45
should be able
to understand South
00:18:23.46\00:18:24.51
America you know,
he could not there is
00:18:24.52\00:18:27.15
a channel on, excuse
me on local television
00:18:27.16\00:18:30.33
a Spanish channel and
its lots of Spaniards,
00:18:30.34\00:18:33.51
proper Spanish he
couldn't understand a
00:18:33.52\00:18:36.02
lot of it, he
couldn't understand that
00:18:36.03\00:18:37.17
because, he could not
understand a lot of it
00:18:37.18\00:18:39.23
and I thought with the
language that's going on
00:18:39.24\00:18:42.05
with young people
today are we going to
00:18:42.06\00:18:43.63
be able to understand
for Lord when he returns.
00:18:43.64\00:18:45.81
It's the language that
you speak is Christians,
00:18:46.01\00:18:47.89
yeah because its so different
00:18:47.90\00:18:50.49
I mean if I go up
to someone and say
00:18:50.50\00:18:52.20
oh! I feel sick,
they gonna think right on,
00:18:52.21\00:18:54.47
I mean but I'm no
get me to hospital you
00:18:54.48\00:18:57.37
cannot understand what
I'm saying, that's good.
00:18:57.38\00:19:01.12
You know have you
wondered about this
00:19:01.13\00:19:02.82
that the words about
of our Lord when he said
00:19:02.83\00:19:05.39
lets your yay be yay
and your nay be nay. Yes.
00:19:06.37\00:19:08.50
What does that really mean?
00:19:08.51\00:19:09.52
What does it mean,
does it mean in our
00:19:09.53\00:19:12.03
conversation and
should we care, in our
00:19:12.04\00:19:13.64
conversation, yes, yes,
no, no, no, yes, yes, yes,
00:19:13.65\00:19:17.52
I think it means
what Karen is bringing out
00:19:19.29\00:19:22.15
that we should as
Christians in the last
00:19:22.66\00:19:24.73
days we should be
able to express what we
00:19:24.74\00:19:27.73
need and we should
be able to do rather
00:19:27.74\00:19:30.73
accurately, clearly, so
that it can't be confused,
00:19:30.74\00:19:33.13
speaking of
languages not obviously in
00:19:33.87\00:19:36.66
English there is
lots of accent and Spanish
00:19:36.67\00:19:39.04
I gonna put in a
little you know plug for
00:19:39.05\00:19:40.94
Spanish, it's 23
countries that speaks
00:19:40.95\00:19:43.24
Spanish and they
obviously have their
00:19:43.25\00:19:46.13
accents and even their
regional variations just
00:19:46.14\00:19:48.75
like we do in
English but I think you know
00:19:48.76\00:19:50.75
the point that she
is making is that there
00:19:50.76\00:19:53.34
must be, I know
an illustration of it
00:19:53.35\00:19:55.76
the Voice of
America, the Voice of America
00:19:56.70\00:19:59.18
I remember when I used
to listen to that speaks
00:19:59.19\00:20:01.12
in many languages but
it speaks what you are
00:20:01.13\00:20:03.28
trying to express a
clear down the middle of the
00:20:03.29\00:20:06.21
road language, that
everyone should be able
00:20:06.22\00:20:08.83
to understand,
everyone understands, its and
00:20:08.84\00:20:09.92
English doesn't sound
like Texas, it doesn't
00:20:09.93\00:20:11.76
sound like New
England but the people
00:20:11.77\00:20:14.43
in Texas and New
England can understand
00:20:14.44\00:20:15.98
it and do the
same way with Spanish.
00:20:15.99\00:20:17.32
Well another word,
well you said only text back
00:20:17.33\00:20:21.24
ten words, well and
I was telling you when
00:20:21.25\00:20:24.19
we were discussing
this that the pads in our
00:20:24.20\00:20:26.62
brain for three
different words are to be three
00:20:26.63\00:20:28.99
deep pads in our
brain because those are the
00:20:29.00\00:20:30.94
only words we use,
yeah, and one of the
00:20:30.95\00:20:34.74
words that seems to
be so used today and I've
00:20:34.75\00:20:38.54
purposely chosen not
to use it unless I'm truly
00:20:38.55\00:20:42.62
expressing what it
means, who said, and
00:20:42.63\00:20:44.57
that's awesome. I
don't want to do that because
00:20:44.58\00:20:48.36
to me if its
awe-filled, awesome, full of awe
00:20:48.37\00:20:54.47
then it out to be
describing something
00:20:55.00\00:20:56.76
the truly is like that
and not just like dinner
00:20:56.77\00:21:01.12
tonight necessarily, I
don't, I just don't think
00:21:01.13\00:21:05.93
that it should be
used with just anything and
00:21:05.94\00:21:08.09
you were talking about
one if God is, you know
00:21:08.10\00:21:10.47
I was in a Bible
book store one time and
00:21:10.75\00:21:14.02
of course we talk
about God being awesome,
00:21:14.03\00:21:15.30
he is an awesome
God there's even a song
00:21:15.31\00:21:16.71
awesome about
that, and that is that,
00:21:16.72\00:21:17.69
well but God is
awesome, God is awesome
00:21:17.79\00:21:19.59
well here at the
checkout counter they
00:21:19.60\00:21:21.86
were selling ballpoint
pens and they said they
00:21:21.87\00:21:24.36
were awesome and then
right away I had click in
00:21:24.37\00:21:25.85
my head I may have
to choose, how can I be
00:21:25.86\00:21:29.33
calling ballpoint
pens describing them as
00:21:29.34\00:21:31.68
I describe God
something got to go,
00:21:31.69\00:21:33.55
God can't be
compared with a ballpoint pen
00:21:33.87\00:21:35.85
and I think that's what
I hear you saying, what,
00:21:36.15\00:21:38.01
that we're
shrinking, Karen is saying we're
00:21:38.02\00:21:40.24
shrinking our
vocabulary to the point
00:21:40.25\00:21:43.32
where, remember
we were in another
00:21:43.33\00:21:46.03
program we were
talking about a blurring
00:21:46.04\00:21:48.11
the difference between
the sacred and the profane.
00:21:48.12\00:21:49.82
Yes. I don't know
how you ladies feel but
00:21:49.83\00:21:53.53
I think we ought to
have words that are so set
00:21:53.54\00:21:56.58
aside as you're
saying. I don't think we are to
00:21:56.59\00:21:59.03
use just every word in
a vocabulary to talk about
00:21:59.04\00:22:01.47
God, that's what you are saying.
00:22:01.48\00:22:03.10
Well we're not
trying to just be picky here
00:22:03.53\00:22:06.25
either, we're not
just picking apart a few
00:22:06.26\00:22:08.17
words that youth use
but it's important for us
00:22:08.18\00:22:12.71
isn't it to be
careful about the words we use
00:22:12.72\00:22:16.24
because we're
reducing our thoughts of God
00:22:16.89\00:22:20.26
when we describe the
merest thing that echo
00:22:20.71\00:22:24.84
with God. I think this
is the point and also there
00:22:24.85\00:22:27.52
is I don't even know if
I can say on this program
00:22:27.53\00:22:29.93
and I hope that
those who are watching
00:22:29.94\00:22:31.34
wouldn't be
offended but I remember my
00:22:31.35\00:22:33.17
mother wouldn't let
me say that because she
00:22:33.18\00:22:38.84
said that's connected
with another word, yes,
00:22:38.85\00:22:40.69
and she wouldn't
let me say G because she
00:22:41.11\00:22:43.43
thought was a short
form, well I remember
00:22:43.44\00:22:45.11
learning that in a dictionary
00:22:45.12\00:22:46.32
that's an expletive.
And so, now these days
00:22:46.77\00:22:50.79
I don't say if they
particularly worry about
00:22:50.80\00:22:52.95
it because I'll
hear people say you know
00:22:52.96\00:22:54.89
even little children
in church say oh! God this
00:22:54.90\00:22:57.88
or that, and I don't
think they mean anything by
00:22:57.89\00:23:00.34
it, it's just that is all
become, just this it's all
00:23:00.35\00:23:04.05
the same and the
name of God is no longer
00:23:04.06\00:23:05.80
reinvent. Its no
longer, and we have all these
00:23:05.81\00:23:07.89
slang expressions,
while growing up I mean my
00:23:07.90\00:23:10.34
mother didn't
really ever have a problem
00:23:10.35\00:23:14.28
with certain words
that I would say but
00:23:14.29\00:23:16.50
I always knew and I'm
not sure how I knew but
00:23:16.51\00:23:19.09
I always knew somehow that Gosh
00:23:19.10\00:23:21.46
meant God, yes, yes,
it was just a part we're
00:23:21.47\00:23:23.51
saying it, yes, and
when I was in high school if
00:23:23.52\00:23:25.61
I didn't want to curse
on to a teacher I would say
00:23:25.62\00:23:27.41
things like shoot,
that's it, there you are,
00:23:27.42\00:23:30.14
you know and to me
as a 16 year old just a
00:23:30.15\00:23:32.96
substitute, it
was just a substitute.
00:23:32.97\00:23:34.92
And so you know I
understood that without
00:23:35.32\00:23:38.67
really being told I
knew that as a young person
00:23:38.68\00:23:42.32
that's what I was
meaning but it was
00:23:42.33\00:23:44.64
sugar coated, yes,
right. And so we as Christians,
00:23:45.25\00:23:48.63
raise Christian
families need to be helping our
00:23:49.28\00:23:51.99
little ones, helping
each other and keeping God
00:23:52.00\00:23:55.09
on ourselves as to
how we use our language so
00:23:55.10\00:23:58.21
that we don't reduce
God to nothing and that
00:23:58.22\00:24:01.72
we keep a level of
reverence because we're
00:24:01.73\00:24:05.17
portraying someone.
We're portraying the
00:24:05.18\00:24:07.53
highest to the world
that is what we need to think
00:24:07.54\00:24:10.30
of ourselves as
ambassadors for the
00:24:10.31\00:24:12.04
Lord and as ambassadors
00:24:12.05\00:24:13.78
we need to have Kings English.
00:24:14.38\00:24:15.68
I do remember
going back to learning a
00:24:16.41\00:24:18.08
foreign language
obviously there is that
00:24:18.09\00:24:22.42
international
Spanish like there is an
00:24:22.43\00:24:24.16
international
English but there are these
00:24:24.17\00:24:27.03
regional words and I
didn't know it because
00:24:27.04\00:24:30.23
I learned to speak
Spanish in Chile and
00:24:30.24\00:24:32.99
you know there were
words, I think we call
00:24:33.00\00:24:35.14
them slang words, I
think we are talking
00:24:35.15\00:24:37.03
about slang, yes,
there were slang words that
00:24:37.04\00:24:39.76
in Chile were
perfectly acceptable, everybody
00:24:39.77\00:24:43.21
knew what it was
that same slang word in
00:24:43.22\00:24:47.01
Puerto Rico or in
Cuba was a dirty word,
00:24:47.02\00:24:50.02
a dirty word. So
what happened, and so
00:24:50.40\00:24:53.34
I think this goes
back to what we're talking
00:24:53.35\00:24:55.56
about that we can't
speak our languages,
00:24:55.57\00:24:58.42
down the middle, we
can speak them purely,
00:24:58.86\00:25:00.76
I don't think we need
to know all that and this
00:25:01.68\00:25:03.59
what I hear you saying
Karen, we don't need to
00:25:03.60\00:25:06.29
know all the latest
you know buzz language or
00:25:06.30\00:25:09.14
whatever it is to say
all the slang, to say,
00:25:09.15\00:25:11.51
see how few words we can say.
00:25:11.52\00:25:13.30
As Christians in
the last days we need to
00:25:13.97\00:25:15.73
elevate our
conversation. Now don't let me
00:25:15.74\00:25:20.67
interrupt you, no
you're not, I just thought
00:25:20.68\00:25:22.28
Karen was going to
get jump in here but not.
00:25:22.29\00:25:25.78
It was important to
me especially to come
00:25:27.13\00:25:29.12
away from the
background that I had
00:25:29.13\00:25:30.27
to change now just my
friends you know there
00:25:30.28\00:25:32.59
is society even tells
you and programs that help
00:25:32.60\00:25:36.30
you come out of
the drug addictions or
00:25:36.31\00:25:38.46
alcoholism or
certain you know crime or
00:25:38.47\00:25:41.56
thievery or trying to read we,
00:25:41.57\00:25:46.19
trying to re-pat on a
person's brain, they say
00:25:47.34\00:25:49.38
well don't hang
around with your old friends
00:25:49.39\00:25:51.02
and don't go to these
old places that get you
00:25:51.03\00:25:53.97
to wanna do this,
well. And if they learned
00:25:53.98\00:25:56.29
that's the best thing to do.
00:25:56.30\00:25:58.02
Well, I think you
know I learned about
00:25:58.35\00:26:00.97
reciprocal
influence from Dr. Jay Sloop,
00:26:00.98\00:26:02.72
where I'm from in
Yakima, and I started
00:26:02.73\00:26:05.41
thinking to myself if
I want to change the way
00:26:05.42\00:26:06.91
I think I should
really start think about the
00:26:06.92\00:26:09.19
way I speak, yes,
very good, because I'm
00:26:09.20\00:26:11.34
hearing everything I say, yes.
00:26:11.35\00:26:13.33
And so in the last
days the Christian is
00:26:14.36\00:26:17.72
sensitive to the way
he speaks because the
00:26:17.73\00:26:20.83
devil knows that if
he can take over our
00:26:20.84\00:26:23.02
language or he can
make it impossible for
00:26:23.03\00:26:26.80
us to convey the
message and when we
00:26:26.81\00:26:28.77
get to the place
where we have to use,
00:26:28.78\00:26:31.10
you know sometimes
they even thought of the
00:26:31.46\00:26:32.64
word love, we talk
about we love this,
00:26:32.65\00:26:35.68
you know I don't
want to give all the
00:26:36.39\00:26:37.80
illustrations, but one
of these days it could get
00:26:37.81\00:26:39.56
so bad that we say God
is love and he could say
00:26:39.57\00:26:42.72
not if that's what you mean.
00:26:42.73\00:26:43.70
Yeah, right,
right, the word love could
00:26:43.89\00:26:46.10
become so
corrupted, so we have to have
00:26:46.11\00:26:49.57
words that we use for
the that which is holy
00:26:49.58\00:26:52.59
and that gives us
again the hierarchy.
00:26:53.34\00:26:55.41
There is the common
in the, common and the
00:26:55.62\00:26:59.16
scared, the scared and
the profane, the scared
00:26:59.17\00:27:01.16
and the profane I
think is what I'm looking for
00:27:01.17\00:27:03.23
yes, yes, and so in
the last days well anyway
00:27:03.24\00:27:05.59
Elmo we didn't know
that Elmo would take us
00:27:05.60\00:27:08.35
there,
technology develops, in next
00:27:08.36\00:27:09.91
program we'll
talk about that more.
00:27:09.92\00:27:11.06
No not at all, but
may be we can put a text
00:27:11.07\00:27:13.06
whether we eat or
drink or what ever we do
00:27:13.07\00:27:14.82
including the way we
talk, right, we would do
00:27:14.83\00:27:16.61
it then to the glory
of God, to the glory of
00:27:16.62\00:27:18.82
God, yes and
that we need to that.
00:27:18.83\00:27:20.57
Well I want to
thank you for being back
00:27:21.20\00:27:23.34
again and Karen
thanks for being on to,
00:27:23.35\00:27:25.00
thank you for having me,
I like your ideas and the
00:27:25.01\00:27:27.67
things that you come up
with and I hope that the
00:27:27.68\00:27:30.22
people that are viewing
will appreciate it as well.
00:27:30.23\00:27:34.64
Maybe we can give a
little thought to all that's
00:27:34.84\00:27:37.89
happening here and
think about our language.
00:27:37.90\00:27:40.66
Join us again on
Thinking About Home
00:27:40.86\00:27:42.50
and pray for us
we're gonna pray for you.
00:27:42.91\00:27:44.44
Heavenly Father,
Lord, we pray that you
00:27:45.42\00:27:47.11
sensitize us to
our words, that whether
00:27:47.12\00:27:51.18
we eat or drink or
whatever we doing in
00:27:51.19\00:27:54.46
the words that we use
that these would be to
00:27:54.47\00:27:57.17
your honor Lord.
We wanna glorify you.
00:27:57.18\00:27:59.68
