Amen.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
We definitely encourage
you to continue to send
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
in those Bible questions.
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.43
We're gonna take
the remaining time
00:00:05.47\00:00:06.80
to get some closing
thoughts from our panelists.
00:00:06.84\00:00:08.17
I just have one because
we've talked about worship.
00:00:08.20\00:00:10.41
And I just want to say
that the highest expression
00:00:10.44\00:00:14.91
of worship is obedience.
00:00:14.94\00:00:17.45
Amen.
00:00:17.48\00:00:18.81
I'm gonna shortly say,
00:00:18.85\00:00:20.18
you know, when we spend time
to read and study God's Word,
00:00:20.22\00:00:25.42
God draws near
00:00:25.45\00:00:26.79
because My children
are reading My scriptures,
00:00:26.82\00:00:29.82
and He wants to
illuminate our mind
00:00:29.86\00:00:32.19
with God's Word that, again,
00:00:32.23\00:00:34.36
are able to make us
wise unto salvation.
00:00:34.40\00:00:36.30
Amen. That's right.
00:00:36.33\00:00:37.67
And coming back to
the issue of worship.
00:00:37.70\00:00:39.03
Thank you very much, Shelley,
00:00:39.07\00:00:40.40
because that in
fact is the litmus test
00:00:40.44\00:00:43.47
for your dedication,
00:00:43.51\00:00:45.44
your love relationship to Christ
00:00:45.47\00:00:47.94
to worship the Lord.
00:00:47.98\00:00:49.41
But let me just
go ahead and define
00:00:49.44\00:00:50.78
what worship is
according to the words of Jesus.
00:00:50.81\00:00:52.81
John 4:23,
00:00:52.85\00:00:54.18
"But the hour is coming and
now is when the true worshiper
00:00:54.22\00:00:58.82
must worship the
father in spirit and in truth.
00:00:58.85\00:01:01.52
God is spirit.
00:01:01.56\00:01:02.96
And those who worship Him
00:01:02.99\00:01:04.59
must worship Him in
spirit and in truth.
00:01:04.63\00:01:06.70
Amen.
00:01:06.73\00:01:08.06
For the Father
seeketh such to worship Him.
00:01:08.10\00:01:09.83
So don't omit truth
00:01:09.86\00:01:13.03
and the guidance
of the Holy Spirit
00:01:13.07\00:01:15.00
and substitute it
with worship-tainment.
00:01:15.04\00:01:18.67
That's what's
happening in Christianity today.
00:01:18.71\00:01:20.68
Worship-tainment
00:01:20.71\00:01:22.41
has taken the place of
true Christian dedication
00:01:22.44\00:01:25.28
to the Word of God.
00:01:25.31\00:01:26.65
Amen.
00:01:26.68\00:01:28.02
And we always need to make sure
00:01:28.05\00:01:29.38
that we are placing our
faith in the Word of God
00:01:29.42\00:01:32.22
and getting our
answers from the Word of God.
00:01:32.25\00:01:33.86
Again, our, kind
of our theme text
00:01:33.89\00:01:35.52
that we use often
is 2 Timothy 2:15,
00:01:35.56\00:01:37.96
"That we study to show ourselves
00:01:37.99\00:01:39.46
approved a workman
00:01:39.49\00:01:40.83
who needeth not to be ashamed,
00:01:40.86\00:01:42.20
rightly dividing
the word of truth."
00:01:42.23\00:01:44.73
And as we've often
quoted here as well,
00:01:44.77\00:01:47.30
this Psalm 119:105,
00:01:47.34\00:01:48.80
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
00:01:48.84\00:01:50.61
and a light unto my path."
00:01:50.64\00:01:53.24
Again, we wanna thank
you for joining us here
