00:07:21.24\00:07:22.77 that it's going to be a good day, 00:07:22.80\00:07:24.74 whether you look back and see 00:07:24.77\00:07:26.11 that it may not have been such a great day. 00:07:26.14\00:07:28.18 In the Lord, it can always be a great day. 00:07:28.21\00:07:31.85 I love what Deuteronomy 33:26, 27 says, it says, 00:07:31.88\00:07:36.99 "There is none like God, O Israel, 00:07:37.02\00:07:39.65 Who rides through the heavens 00:07:39.69\00:07:41.12 to your help and in His majestic glory 00:07:41.16\00:07:44.33 through the skies. 00:07:44.36\00:07:45.86 The eternal God is your refuge and dwelling place, 00:07:45.89\00:07:49.16 and underneath are the everlasting arms." 00:07:49.20\00:07:52.90 What a great and mighty God we serve. 00:07:52.93\00:07:56.57 Then sings my soul 00:07:56.67\00:08:01.71 My Savior God 00:08:01.74\00:08:05.08 To Thee 00:08:05.11\00:08:09.05 How great Thou art 00:08:09.08\00:08:19.79 Then sings my soul 00:08:19.83\00:08:23.97 My Savior God

makes my heart want to sing 00:09:11.51\00:09:18.25 There is an endless song 00:09:21.32\00:09:25.09 Echoes in my soul 00:09:25.13\00:09:28.90 I hear the music ring 00:09:28.93\00:09:35.14 And though the storms may come 00:09:35.17\00:09:38.57 I am holding on 00:09:38.61\00:09:42.61 To the rock I cling 00:09:42.64\00:09:49.52 How can I keep from singing Your praise 00:09:49.55\00:09:55.56 How can I ever say enough 00:09:55.59\00:09:59.36 How amazing is Your love 00:09:59.39\00:10:03.23 How can I keep from shouting Your name 00:10:03.33\00:10:08.60 I know I am loved by the King 00:10:08.64\00:10:12.54 And it makes my heart want to sing 00:10:12.57\00:10:19.18 I sing because I'm happy 00:10:19.21\00:10:25.85 I sing because I'm free 00:10:25.89\00:10:32.36 For His eye is on the sparrow 00:10:32.39\00:10:39.13 And I know 00:10:39.17\00:10:41.60 He watches me 00:10:41.64\00:10:47.31 How can I keep from singing Your praise 00:10:47.34\00:10:53.35 How can I ever say enough 00:10:53.38\00:10:57.02 How amazing is Your love 00:10:57.05\00:11:00.86 How can I keep from shouting Your name 00:11:00.89\00:11:06.36 I know I am loved by the King 00:11:06.39\00:11:10.23 And it makes my heart 00:11:10.27\00:11:13.60 I am loved by the King 00:11:13.64\00:11:17.17 And it makes my heart want to sing 00:11:17.21\00:11:23.08 And I sing how marvelous! 00:11:26.25\00:11:31.09 How wonderful! 00:11:31.12\00:11:34.36 And my song shall ever be 00:11:34.39\00:11:40.46 How marvelous! 00:11:40.50\00:11:43.40 How wonderful! 00:11:43.43\00:11:46.40 Is my Savior's love for me 00:11:46.43\00:11:53.41 I know I am loved by the King 00:11:53.44\00:11:57.38 And it makes my heart want to sing 00:11:57.48\00:12:04.29 Yes, it makes my heart want to sing 00:12:04.32\00:12:11.23 Amen. 00:12:22.84\00:12:24.27 He puts that song in our heart 00:12:24.31\00:12:25.84 so that we can sing a song of praise. 00:12:25.87\00:12:28.21 Hallelujah. 00:12:28.24\00:12:29.91 Psalm 113:2 says, 00:12:30.01\00:12:33.38 "Blessed be the name of the Lord 00:12:33.42\00:12:35.32 from this time forth and evermore." 00:12:35.35\00:12:38.42 We are a moment 00:12:56.44\00:12:59.51 You are forever 00:12:59.54\00:13:02.61 Lord of the ages 00:13:02.64\00:13:05.81 God before time 00:13:05.85\00:13:09.32 We are a vapor 00:13:09.35\00:13:12.29 But You are eternal 00:13:12.32\00:13:15.96 Love

praises Honor and Glory 00:13:37.81\00:13:44.52 Be unto Your name 00:13:44.55\00:13:55.50 We are the broken 00:14:06.04\00:14:08.91 You are the healer 00:14:08.94\00:14:11.71 Jesus Redeemer 00:14:11.75\00:14:14.75 Mighty to save 00:14:14.78\00:14:17.99 You are the love song 00:14:18.02\00:14:20.96 We'll sing forever 00:14:20.99\00:14:24.23 Bowing before You 00:14:24.26\00:14:27.40 blessing Your name 00:14:27.40\00:14:34.27 We sing holy, holy, Lord God Almighty 00:14:55.19\00:15:02.20 Worthy is the Lamb who was slain 00:15:02.23\00:15:07.64 Highest praises Honor and glory 00:15:07.67\00:15:13.58 Be unto Your name 00:15:13.61\00:15:19.45 Oh, we sing holy, holy, Lord God Almighty 00:15:42.17\00:15:49.34 Worthy is the Lamb who was slain 00:15:49.38\00:15:55.68 Highest praises Honor and Glory 00:15:55.72\00:16:02.69 Be unto Your name 00:16:02.72\00:16:15.24 Be unto the Lamb 00:16:15.27\00:16:21.78 We sing holy is the Lord 00:16:21.81\00:16:26.72 Be unto Your name 00:16:31.25\00:16:36.12 You know, it's a wonderful privilege 00:16:43.63\00:16:45.13 that we have to come before the Lord 00:16:45.17\00:16:49.04 and recognize that everything we have 00:16:49.07\00:16:52.74 is from Him. 00:16:52.77\00:16:54.28 And the day that we're living, 00:16:54.31\00:16:56.24 this breath that we're breathing, 00:16:56.28\00:16:57.61 it's all from Him. 00:16:57.65\00:17:00.45 In Psalm 73:25, 26, 00:17:00.48\00:17:05.49 I want to read... 00:17:05.52\00:17:06.89 That's a great, great psalm, the whole psalm itself. 00:17:06.92\00:17:10.96 It starts out, it says, "Truly God is good to Israel, 00:17:10.99\00:17:15.56 even to those who are upright and pure in heart." 00:17:15.60\00:17:19.80 So we think this is going to be an adoration of scripture 00:17:19.83\00:17:24.61 but then in verse 2, the Psalmist says, 00:17:24.64\00:17:28.54 "But as for me, my feet were almost gone, 00:17:28.58\00:17:32.18 my steps had well-nigh slipped. 00:17:32.21\00:17:34.48 For I was envious of the foolish and arrogant, 00:17:34.52\00:17:37.65 when I saw the prosperity of the wicked." 00:17:37.69\00:17:40.26 We begin to see that the Psalmist's heart 00:17:40.29\00:17:42.76 changing already and just in two verses, 00:17:42.79\00:17:45.79 he starts out in verse 1, 00:17:45.83\00:17:47.20 I'm going to worship the Lord, 00:17:47.23\00:17:48.53 He is God, will always be God. 00:17:48.56\00:17:50.43 But let me say where my heart was in 00:17:50.47\00:17:52.33 by verse 2, he' saying, 00:17:52.37\00:17:54.00 I became envious of the wicked. 00:17:54.04\00:17:57.17 And that's easy to do, right? 00:17:57.21\00:17:58.84 I mean, just look around you, 00:17:58.87\00:18:00.41 you see people that are better off 00:18:00.51\00:18:02.01 than you are or who have things 00:18:02.04\00:18:03.48 that you have that you may want 00:18:03.51\00:18:05.35 or their talents or their situations, their, 00:18:05.38\00:18:09.45 even their physical condition, 00:18:09.48\00:18:11.32 their health may be better than what yours is, 00:18:11.35\00:18:14.92 but he continues to read 00:18:14.96\00:18:17.36 how it just really ate at him the Psalmist 00:18:17.46\00:18:21.66 that he was so tore up, 00:18:21.70\00:18:25.10 it with envy and envy. 00:18:25.13\00:18:29.84 Yeah, I guess it's overall envy. 00:18:29.87\00:18:32.11 But then in verse 17, 00:18:32.14\00:18:34.31 he finally comes to his senses so to speak. 00:18:34.34\00:18:37.65 And it says, "Until I went into the sanctuary of God, 00:18:37.68\00:18:42.22 then I understood their end." 00:18:42.25\00:18:45.99 And then in verse 23, it says, 00:18:46.02\00:18:48.59 "I am continually with You, God, 00:18:48.62\00:18:51.39 You do hold my right hand. 00:18:51.43\00:18:53.09 You will guide me with Your counsel 00:18:53.13\00:18:54.93 and afterward receive me to honor and glory." 00:18:54.96\00:18:58.83 And verse 25 is where this song starts, 00:18:58.87\00:19:01.57 where we talk about "Whom have I in heaven but You? 00:19:01.60\00:19:05.61 And besides You I have no desire on earth." 00:19:05.64\00:19:09.04 Whom have I in heaven 00:19:24.53\00:19:28.63 But Thee 00:19:28.66\00:19:30.47 And beside thee I desire nothing on earth 00:19:30.57\00:19:37.41 My flesh and my heart are weak and they fail 00:19:37.51\00:19:43.85 But God is the strength of my heart 00:19:43.95\00:19:51.12 God, the Lord is the strength of my heart 00:19:51.15\00:19:57.69 He's my portion forever 00:19:57.73\00:20:03.20 Yes, the Lord my God is the strength of my heart 00:20:03.23\00:20:10.67 Your nearness 00:20:10.71\00:20:12.27 Oh, God is my good 00:20:12.31\00:20:15.84 When my heart was bitter within 00:20:27.52\00:20:32.73 All my senses had gone 00:20:32.76\00:20:35.73 And I was blind before Thee 00:20:35.76\00:20:39.97 That's when the Lord 00:20:40.07\00:20:42.94 Took hold of my hand 00:20:42.97\00:20:46.21 And He was the strength of my heart 00:20:46.24\00:20:53.75 God, the Lord is the strength of my heart 00:20:53.78\00:20:59.82 He's my portion forever 00:20:59.85\00:21:05.76 Yes, the Lord my God is the strength of my heart 00:21:05.79\00:21:12.93 Your nearness 00:21:12.97\00:21:14.34 Oh, God is my good 00:21:14.37\00:21:19.81 Your nearness 00:21:19.84\00:21:21.64 Oh, God is my good 00:21:21.68\00:21:26.78 Lord, just to be near You, 00:21:30.85\00:21:32.79 that's what I want. 00:21:32.82\00:21:35.46 I want to be where You are 00:21:35.49\00:21:36.99 dwelling daily in Your presence. 00:21:37.03\00:21:39.59 Feasting at your table, 00:21:39.63\00:21:40.96 surrounded by Your goodness, Lord. 00:21:40.96\00:21:44.70 For Your nearness 00:21:44.73\00:21:46.33 Oh, God 00:21:46.37\00:21:48.87 For Your nearness 00:21:48.90\00:21:50.54 Oh, God is my good 00:21:50.57\00:21:53.41 Your only Son no sin to hide 00:22:02.15\00:22:08.52 But You have sent me from Your side 00:22:08.56\00:22:14.36 To walk upon this guilty sod 00:22:14.36\00:22:20.80 And to become the Lamb of God 00:22:20.84\00:22:27.74 Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God 00:22:27.78\00:22:34.32 I love the holy Lamb of God 00:22:34.35\00:22:40.32 Oh, wash me in His precious blood 00:22:40.36\00:22:46.49 My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God 00:22:46.53\00:22:53.77 Your gift of love, they crucified 00:22:58.84\00:23:04.81 They laughed and scorned Him as He died 00:23:04.85\00:23:10.59 The humble King they named a fraud 00:23:10.62\00:23:16.93 And sacrificed the Lamb of God 00:23:16.96\00:23:23.73 Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God 00:23:23.77\00:23:30.37 I love the holy Lamb of God 00:23:30.41\00:23:35.68 Oh, wash me in His precious blood 00:23:35.71\00:23:42.28 My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God 00:23:42.32\00:23:49.76 I was so lost, I should have died 00:23:57.00\00:24:02.97 But You have brought me to Your side 00:24:03.00\00:24:09.14 To be led by Your staff and rod 00:24:09.18\00:24:15.48 And to be called a Lamb of God 00:24:15.52\00:24:22.19 Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God 00:24:22.22\00:24:28.86 I love the holy Lamb of God 00:24:28.90\00:24:35.14 Oh, wash me in His precious blood 00:24:35.17\00:24:41.58 My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God 00:24:41.61\00:24:48.92 Oh, wash me in His precious blood 00:25:01.06\00:25:06.10 You know, no matter how positive 00:25:23.79\00:25:27.66 that you try to look at each day, 00:25:27.69\00:25:30.33 there are some times 00:25:30.36\00:25:31.69 when we go along in life's journey 00:25:31.73\00:25:34.83 and we get busy with life. 00:25:34.86\00:25:38.27 And things just, 00:25:42.50\00:25:44.64 they're not what they used to be, right? 00:25:44.67\00:25:48.64 We get older and we get maybe lackadaisical 00:25:48.68\00:25:51.81 in our walk with the Lord. 00:25:51.85\00:25:53.18 We stop reading His Word. 00:25:53.21\00:25:56.42 You know, it's just like when we make, 00:25:56.45\00:25:58.29 if you're inclined to make resolutions 00:25:58.32\00:26:01.06 at the beginning of the year that you say, 00:26:01.09\00:26:02.59 I'm going to start working out 00:26:02.62\00:26:03.96 and I'm going to start eating better, 00:26:04.06\00:26:06.23 or I'm going to start visiting people 00:26:06.26\00:26:09.53 in the nursing home, 00:26:09.56\00:26:10.97 I'm going to make a change this year. 00:26:11.00\00:26:14.34 And then about February, we begin finding excuses. 00:26:14.37\00:26:20.88 You know how it is. 00:26:20.98\00:26:22.78 When we're recording this program, 00:26:22.81\00:26:25.58 it's almost halfway through the year. 00:26:25.61\00:26:28.35 And I look back and I see things 00:26:28.38\00:26:29.92 that I thought, "Wait a minute, 00:26:29.95\00:26:32.49 I'm not doing so well on what I said 00:26:32.52\00:26:34.66 I was going to do." 00:26:34.69\00:26:36.02 I'm so grateful that we serve a Heavenly Father 00:26:38.76\00:26:43.73 that time is nothing to Him, 00:26:43.77\00:26:46.80 but commitment is everything to Him. 00:26:46.84\00:26:49.07 And person, our relationship, 00:26:49.10\00:26:51.14 personal relationship is everything to Him. 00:26:51.17\00:26:54.91 And He doesn't care what time of year it is 00:26:54.94\00:26:57.61 or where you are, 00:26:57.65\00:27:01.38 He wants you just to come back. 00:27:01.42\00:27:04.49 He wants you to renew your commitment to Him 00:27:04.52\00:27:09.39 and to fall in love all over again with Him. 00:27:09.42\00:27:12.73 That's His way, that's how much He loves us 00:27:12.76\00:27:16.13 to give us time after time, a chance after chance 00:27:16.16\00:27:21.64 to come back to Him. 00:27:21.67\00:27:24.91 You see... 00:27:24.94\00:27:26.47 I can still remember 00:27:26.51\00:27:29.68 The wonderful feeling 00:27:29.71\00:27:33.62 Back when I first got to know You 00:27:33.65\00:27:40.06 It seemed the world was mine 00:27:40.09\00:27:43.83 I had joy, I had springtime 00:27:43.86\00:27:48.83 But that's all just a memory anymore 00:27:48.86\00:27:55.27 I guess I just took my eyes off You, Lord 00:27:58.47\00:28:05.38 But I don't want this callous feeling anymore 00:28:05.41\00:28:12.15 Lord, please bring back the way it was before 00:28:12.19\00:28:20.03 Bring back the new again 00:28:24.63\00:28:32.57 I want to see You again 00:28:32.61\00:28:39.65 Bring back the way it was 00:28:39.68\00:28:46.25 When we began 00:28:46.29\00:28:52.56 How did I miss the road? 00:28:52.59\00:28:59.23 When did I lose the glow? 00:28:59.27\00:29:05.64 Where did the wonder go? 00:29:05.67\00:29:12.85 Bring back the new again 00:29:12.88\00:29:19.95 It wasn't long ago 00:29:28.26\00:29:31.37 When my heart was glowing 00:29:31.40\00:29:35.07 And every new day was a challenge 00:29:35.10\00:29:41.14 But indifference turned me cold 00:29:41.18\00:29:44.81 Made things stale, made them old 00:29:44.85\00:29:48.85 Now I've lost that happy song I used to sing 00:29:48.88\00:29:56.16 It seems that I forgot the most important thing 00:29:56.19\00:30:01.60 But I don't want this callous feeling anymore 00:30:01.63\00:30:07.80 Lord, please bring back 00:30:07.84\00:30:11.14 The way it was 00:30:11.17\00:30:13.54 Before 00:30:13.58\00:30:20.88 Bring back the new again 00:30:20.92\00:30:27.62 I want to see You again 00:30:27.66\00:30:33.96 Bring back the way it was 00:30:34.03\00:30:41.37 When we began 00:30:41.40\00:30:47.84 How did I miss the road? 00:30:47.88\00:30:54.28 When did I lose the glow? 00:30:54.32\00:31:00.96 Where did the wonder go? 00:31:00.99\00:31:07.86 Bring back the new again 00:31:07.86\00:31:14.67 How did I miss the road? 00:31:14.70\00:31:21.28 When did I lose the glow? 00:31:21.31\00:31:28.65 Where did the wonder 00:31:28.68\00:31:32.49 Go? 00:31:32.52\00:31:37.09 Lord, bring back 00:31:37.19\00:31:39.59 The new again 00:31:39.63\00:31:46.37 Bring back the new again 00:31:46.40\00:31:52.44 Bring back the new again 00:31:54.34\00:32:01.68 Remember in the Psalms when David thought 00:32:07.26\00:32:11.79 That he had really messed it up. 00:32:11.83\00:32:13.16 This was his prayer. 00:32:17.57\00:32:21.57 Create in me a clean heart, O God 00:32:21.60\00:32:29.44 And renew a right spirit within me 00:32:29.48\00:32:36.45 Create in me a clean heart 00:32:36.48\00:32:40.82 O God 00:32:40.92\00:32:44.66 And renew a right spirit within me 00:32:44.69\00:32:51.83 Cast me not away 00:32:51.87\00:32:55.04 From Thy presence, O Lord 00:32:55.07\00:32:59.77 And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me 00:32:59.81\00:33:07.42 Restore unto me 00:33:07.45\00:33:10.89 The joy of Thy salvation 00:33:10.92\00:33:15.92 And renew a right spirit within me 00:33:15.96\00:33:22.26 Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord 00:34:17.09\00:34:24.69 Take not Thy Holy Spirit from me 00:34:24.73\00:34:31.23 Restore unto me 00:34:31.27\00:34:34.90 The joy of Thy salvation 00:34:34.94\00:34:39.47 And renew a right spirit 00:34:39.51\00:34:41.98 Within me 00:34:42.01\00:34:47.08 Yes, renew a right spirit 00:34:47.12\00:34:50.25 Within me 00:34:50.29\00:34:53.72 If you find yourself at that place 00:37:05.19\00:37:09.09 where you were, 00:37:09.12\00:37:10.46 where you've been closer to God than you are right now 00:37:10.56\00:37:14.00 and if you want to make that recommitment to Him 00:37:14.10\00:37:19.80 to bring back the new again. 00:37:19.83\00:37:24.34 Or per chance, you're watching today 00:37:24.37\00:37:27.68 and this is all new to you, 00:37:27.71\00:37:31.11 you haven't made that commitment, 00:37:31.15\00:37:32.48 maybe you've heard about it and you've thought about it, 00:37:32.51\00:37:35.72 but life was just going fine 00:37:35.75\00:37:38.15 and you really didn't feel like you really needed a Savior 00:37:38.19\00:37:42.16 because you had it under control. 00:37:42.19\00:37:46.70 No matter where you are, 00:37:46.73\00:37:50.63 today is the day the Lord has made, 00:37:50.73\00:37:53.00 He has given you an opportunity, another day, 00:37:53.03\00:37:55.00 another chance to serve Him, to live for Him. 00:37:55.04\00:38:00.91 So I encourage you 00:38:01.01\00:38:03.98 lifelong believer, 00:38:04.01\00:38:08.82 turn back to Him 00:38:08.85\00:38:10.22 and start those things that you did 00:38:10.25\00:38:15.22 whenever you first became a Christian. 00:38:15.26\00:38:17.36 Reading the Bible and praying 00:38:17.39\00:38:19.26 and staying in fellowship with Him, 00:38:19.29\00:38:21.90 fellowship with other Christians, 00:38:21.93\00:38:23.87 other like-minded people. 00:38:23.90\00:38:27.14 Go back to those ways, 00:38:27.24\00:38:28.57 it's not too late, nothing you... 00:38:28.60\00:38:31.17 Nothing you have done 00:38:31.21\00:38:34.18 will obliterate your relationship with Christ. 00:38:34.28\00:38:37.55 As long as you're willing to go back and say, "Okay. 00:38:37.58\00:38:42.02 I flubbed up. I've messed up." 00:38:42.05\00:38:45.59 I mean, some of us have to do this 00:38:45.62\00:38:47.56 on a daily basis. 00:38:47.59\00:38:49.06 I'll be honest, that's where I am. 00:38:49.09\00:38:51.96 And that may be a little too transparent 00:38:51.99\00:38:54.76 and definitely a little pathetic. 00:38:54.83\00:38:59.20 But we have a loving Father 00:38:59.23\00:39:00.67 who wants us to come back to Him 00:39:00.70\00:39:03.84 and get it right. 00:39:03.94\00:39:06.91 He is what's right and He's what makes us right. 00:39:07.01\00:39:09.31 Those of you again 00:39:09.34\00:39:10.68 who haven't made the commitment, 00:39:10.78\00:39:12.15 today is the day to make the commitment. 00:39:12.18\00:39:14.25 Ask Christ to be ruler of your heart, 00:39:14.35\00:39:18.09 begin to make those decisions that are godly decisions. 00:39:18.12\00:39:23.56 And you want to know how to do that. 00:39:23.66\00:39:24.99 Well, I'll tell you, Ephesians 4:21-32 00:39:25.03\00:39:29.40 give a real practical method on living for Christ. 00:39:29.43\00:39:33.94 I love the fact 00:39:34.04\00:39:36.04 that this is just peanut butter and jelly, 00:39:36.07\00:39:39.51 it's just plain and simple. 00:39:39.54\00:39:41.24 And I do love peanut butter and jelly. 00:39:41.28\00:39:43.35 But that's, that aside. 00:39:43.38\00:39:46.51 It says, since you have heard about Jesus, 00:39:46.55\00:39:50.09 this is again after you have given your life to Christ, 00:39:50.12\00:39:53.19 you've accepted Him, you've told Him, 00:39:53.22\00:39:54.89 "Forgive me of my sin. 00:39:54.92\00:39:57.89 Be ruler of my heart." 00:39:57.93\00:40:00.60 And then Ephesians says, 00:40:00.63\00:40:02.06 "Since you have heard about Jesus 00:40:02.10\00:40:03.63 and have learned the truth that comes from Him, 00:40:03.73\00:40:06.50 throw off your old sinful nature, 00:40:06.53\00:40:09.40 get rid of it and your former way of life 00:40:09.44\00:40:13.34 which is corrupted by lust and deception." 00:40:13.38\00:40:16.91 Instead let the spirit renew your thoughts 00:40:17.01\00:40:20.92 and your attitude, 00:40:20.95\00:40:22.35 that's the Holy Spirit. 00:40:22.38\00:40:23.75 Let the Holy Spirit that's the mind of Christ 00:40:23.79\00:40:25.49 renew your thoughts and your attitudes. 00:40:25.52\00:40:28.09 Put on your new nature created to be like God. 00:40:28.12\00:40:33.23 Truly righteous and holy, stop telling lies. 00:40:33.26\00:40:38.20 Let us tell our neighbors the truth for we, 00:40:38.23\00:40:40.90 we are all parts of the same body. 00:40:40.94\00:40:44.24 And don't sin by letting anger control you. 00:40:44.27\00:40:47.81 Don't let the sun go down while you're still angry, 00:40:47.84\00:40:50.58 for angry only gives a foothold to the devil. 00:40:50.61\00:40:54.75 And if you're a thief, quit stealing. 00:40:54.78\00:40:58.25 Instead use your hands for good work, 00:40:58.29\00:41:00.99 good hard work, 00:41:01.02\00:41:02.62 and then give generously to others in need. 00:41:02.66\00:41:06.36 Now don't use foul language or abusive language. 00:41:06.39\00:41:10.43 Let everything you say be good and helpful 00:41:10.47\00:41:13.60 so that your words will be an encouragement 00:41:13.64\00:41:16.34 to those who hear them. 00:41:16.37\00:41:18.37 And don't bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit 00:41:18.41\00:41:20.94 by the way you live. 00:41:20.98\00:41:22.74 Remember, He has identified you as His very own, 00:41:22.78\00:41:26.78 guaranteeing you 00:41:26.82\00:41:29.02 that you'll be saved on the day of redemption. 00:41:29.05\00:41:32.95 So get rid of all bitterness, get rid of all rage, 00:41:32.99\00:41:37.86 all anger, all harsh words and slander, 00:41:37.89\00:41:42.43 as well as all types of evil behavior, 00:41:42.46\00:41:44.90 just get rid of it. 00:41:44.93\00:41:46.67 Instead be kind to each other, 00:41:46.70\00:41:48.97 tenderhearted, forgiving one another, 00:41:49.00\00:41:51.44 just as God through Christ has forgiven you. 00:41:51.47\00:41:56.88 Those are wonderful, 00:41:56.91\00:41:59.48 just bare roots, 00:41:59.51\00:42:04.09 instructions on how to live for Christ. 00:42:04.12\00:42:09.56 Now you may sound, well, that sounds just like 00:42:09.59\00:42:12.59 being just a good person. 00:42:12.63\00:42:14.00 Well, it's more than being a good person 00:42:14.00\00:42:16.63 because the Holy Spirit, 00:42:16.73\00:42:18.17 when you give your life to Christ, 00:42:18.20\00:42:19.77 the Holy Spirit will give you the power 00:42:19.80\00:42:24.31 to be a good person 00:42:24.34\00:42:25.67 because honestly I'm not a good person, 00:42:25.71\00:42:28.68 if it's on my own, if I'm on my own, 00:42:28.71\00:42:30.41 if I'm left to my own devices, I'm not a nice person. 00:42:30.45\00:42:36.05 I can smile 00:42:36.08\00:42:38.45 but I can't always be nice. 00:42:38.49\00:42:42.12 So I encourage you, 00:42:42.16\00:42:43.79 let the Holy Spirit have control of you. 00:42:43.83\00:42:48.10 And He will make a wonderful change in you 00:42:48.13\00:42:51.97 that you can't find anywhere else. 00:42:52.00\00:42:57.54 And I can speak from experience. 00:42:57.57\00:43:00.08 For once I was lost, I was living in sin 00:43:03.95\00:43:09.65 My life seemed hopeless 00:43:09.68\00:43:12.42 No
