Well, I can't believe
we're just about out of time,
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.00
I just want to open up the floor
00:00:03.03\00:00:04.60
for any final
thoughts that you may have.
00:00:04.63\00:00:07.44
My final thought would be this,
00:00:07.47\00:00:08.94
when you think about
the Laodicean Church,
00:00:08.97\00:00:12.47
who says, "Hey, I'm rich
and I have no need of nothing."
00:00:12.51\00:00:15.64
And Jesus says,
"Oh, you are naked,
00:00:15.68\00:00:18.75
you're wretched,
you're miserable,
00:00:18.78\00:00:20.15
you're poor and you're blind."
00:00:20.18\00:00:21.95
Proverbs 38 says,
00:00:21.98\00:00:23.45
"Give me neither
poverty nor riches."
00:00:23.49\00:00:27.92
Let's choose Jesus
over material blessings.
00:00:27.96\00:00:31.49
Amen.
00:00:31.53\00:00:32.86
Pastor mentioned earlier,
the, you know, the cults
00:00:32.89\00:00:34.43
and how they manipulate people.
00:00:34.46\00:00:36.33
In this case, you
know, they'll even use
00:00:36.36\00:00:37.77
the Word of God,
they'll twist the Word of God
00:00:37.80\00:00:39.90
to try to press
their agenda and justify
00:00:39.93\00:00:42.37
why they believe
what they believe.
00:00:42.40\00:00:43.81
My friends, most important
thing is that we stay grounded
00:00:43.84\00:00:45.97
in the Word of God and that
we stay studied up ourselves
00:00:46.01\00:00:49.84
and allow the Holy
Spirit to lead and guide us
00:00:49.88\00:00:52.01
and not man.
00:00:52.05\00:00:53.52
Amen.
00:00:53.55\00:00:54.88
Yes, and I like the way
Paul made it clear when he was,
00:00:54.92\00:00:57.92
when he battled with the Greeks
00:00:57.95\00:01:00.29
and tried to deal
with them philosophically.
00:01:00.32\00:01:02.96
He found himself
against the wall all the time.
00:01:02.99\00:01:05.03
You can't argue with people
00:01:05.06\00:01:06.39
that want to just
contend intellectually.
00:01:06.43\00:01:08.83
I like what Paul says.
00:01:08.86\00:01:10.53
And a lot of the
things we talked about today
00:01:10.57\00:01:11.90
is tradition-based
versus requirement-based.
00:01:11.93\00:01:14.80
If you allow the Word
of God to be your guide,
00:01:14.84\00:01:17.67
the Holy Spirit
to be your conscience
00:01:17.71\00:01:20.58
and the truth to
be the overarching
00:01:20.61\00:01:23.48
foundation of your worship,
you have nothing to fear.
00:01:23.51\00:01:26.58
The Lord will not hold
you accountable for that
00:01:26.61\00:01:29.32
which you choose.
00:01:29.35\00:01:30.69
The Lord will hold you
accountable for what you
00:01:30.72\00:01:32.59
could have known.
00:01:32.62\00:01:33.96
But if you know
God will give you more
00:01:33.99\00:01:36.06
and He will be
glorified if you live according
00:01:36.09\00:01:38.39
to what He has
already revealed to you.
00:01:38.43\00:01:40.90
So give Him glory
00:01:40.93\00:01:42.26
by the knowledge
you already have.
00:01:42.30\00:01:43.63
Amen. Amen. Amen.
00:01:43.67\00:01:45.00
That speaks to
our responsibility.
00:01:45.03\00:01:46.37
We have to study God's Word
00:01:46.40\00:01:47.74
and thank you all
for studying God's Word
00:01:47.77\00:01:50.01
and answering these
questions from the Bible.
00:01:50.04\00:01:52.54
We want to thank
you for tuning in,
00:01:52.57\00:01:54.38
for submitting your
questions and encourage you
00:01:54.41\00:01:56.71
to study God's Word.
00:01:56.75\00:01:58.41
You won't regret it. God bless.
00:01:58.45\00:02:00.12
