08:31.500 --> 08:32.300
Excuse me.

10:31.900 --> 10:32.900
Sorry, going up.

10:32.900 --> 10:33.900
Okay.

10:33.900 --> 10:34.900
So, you're not part of any other group, so...

10:34.900 --> 10:35.900
You have a whole time to learn to focus.

11:00.200 --> 11:06.200
God leaves his dear children alone.

11:11.900 --> 11:17.700
Some through the water, some through the flood,

11:17.700 --> 11:23.780
Some through the fires, but through the blood,

11:23.780 --> 11:28.300
Some through great sorrows, but God gives us.

12:09.800 --> 12:17.300
of ages clap for me let me hide myself

12:46.100 --> 12:51.220
Raise God who blessings flow.

12:51.220 --> 12:57.140
Raise God in nations go.

12:57.140 --> 13:02.900
Praise Father, Son, Holy Ghost.

13:02.900 --> 13:04.900
Praise God

13:35.600 --> 13:38.960
we do his goodwill

13:38.960 --> 13:42.400
he abides at the still

13:42.400 --> 13:47.600
and with all who will trust and obey

13:47.600 --> 13:50.440
trust and obey

13:50.440 --> 13:53.560
for there's no other way

13:53.560 --> 13:57.640
to be happy in Jesus

13:57.640 --> 14:00.160
but to trust and obey

14:02.200 --> 14:09.880
Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,

14:09.880 --> 14:16.400
but his smile quickly dries away.

14:16.400 --> 14:24.080
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh nor a tear,

14:24.080 --> 14:29.440
can abide while we trust and obey.

14:29.440 --> 14:29.940
Trust.

14:30.200 --> 14:43.720
and obey. For there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.

14:47.500 --> 15:01.500
Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, But our toil he doth richly repay,

15:01.500 --> 15:05.500
Not a grief nor a loss.

15:05.600 --> 15:15.600
Not a frown nor a cross, but is blessed if we trust and obey.

15:15.600 --> 15:29.600
Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

15:29.900 --> 15:33.100
But we will never come

15:33.100 --> 15:35.600
But we can never

15:36.300 --> 15:50.220
But we can never the delight of His love, Until all on the for them altar we lay.

15:50.220 --> 16:02.020
For the favor He shows, and the joy He bestows, Are for them who will trust and obey.

16:02.400 --> 16:09.000
Trust and obey, for there's no other way

16:09.000 --> 16:16.800
To be happy in Jesus, but we trust and obey

16:16.800 --> 16:25.200
Then in, then in, sweet, we will sit at His feet

16:36.200 --> 16:46.200
If he will walk by his side in the way, what he will say we will do,

16:46.200 --> 16:51.200
wherever he sends me.

16:51.200 --> 17:00.100
Only trust and obey, trust and obey, for there's no other way.

17:05.300 --> 17:08.740
But to trust and obey

17:23.400 --> 17:25.400
No sheniken?

17:29.700 --> 17:30.700
Welcome.

17:36.700 --> 17:37.400
Yeah

17:41.300 --> 17:43.740
The relative used to be kind of really different.

17:47.200 --> 17:53.600
Jason didn't even respond to me. He's just he just asked like at 730. Can you preach this morning?

17:53.600 --> 17:57.360
I said sure what's going on? I have the sermon ready actually

17:58.160 --> 18:00.160
I never got even a response

18:03.700 --> 18:07.700
I assume it has to do with work but...

18:07.700 --> 18:09.700
He's on a call.

18:09.700 --> 18:11.700
Fourth of July?

18:11.700 --> 18:16.700
And he was... last night I said he was asking like,

18:16.700 --> 18:18.700
Hey, what's the schedule tomorrow?

18:18.700 --> 18:24.700
And I was waiting for him to ask last night so I was glad I tried to put a sermon together because...

18:24.700 --> 18:26.700
Yeah.

18:26.700 --> 18:29.700
What? What's up little guy?

18:31.200 --> 18:32.000
Bye.

30:12.100 --> 30:14.100
He just asked me to reach the nearest one.

30:14.100 --> 30:16.100
I said, you know, you're the first person to reach it.

30:16.100 --> 30:20.100
So I was like, I assume maybe he's gone, so he's not coming.

30:20.100 --> 30:22.100
I'm like, for all day.

30:22.100 --> 30:24.100
And he actually came in.

30:24.100 --> 30:26.100
I was like, just sitting here and going, who does?

30:26.100 --> 30:28.100
She would do it if she needed it.

30:28.100 --> 30:32.100
I was like, just reaching to you today.

30:38.000 --> 30:40.000
I think you got an hour.

30:40.000 --> 30:42.000
You're really going to mess with me.

30:44.400 --> 30:45.240
Yeah, I know.

30:48.600 --> 30:52.740
We got our strings in manipulating the

30:52.740 --> 30:53.740
妖魔鬼魂

30:57.600 --> 30:58.100
Yeah.

30:58.100 --> 31:01.260
You stop, he's looking back and forth, what are you doing?

31:01.260 --> 31:01.760
Right.

31:04.800 --> 31:07.400
I know you guys got death threats, exactly.

31:07.400 --> 31:08.400
You're rancid.

31:08.400 --> 31:10.400
Don't tell anyone our secrets.

31:10.400 --> 31:11.400
Yeah, I know, right?

31:11.400 --> 31:12.400
Yeah.

31:12.400 --> 31:15.400
We put it online, but that's a secret.

31:15.400 --> 31:17.800
Yeah, definitely don't tell anyone that Paul's been using

31:17.800 --> 31:19.400
the top politics for the coffee.

31:19.400 --> 31:20.400
Oh!

31:20.400 --> 31:22.400
Dang it!

31:22.400 --> 31:23.400
That's all right.

31:23.400 --> 31:24.400
Just don't.

31:24.400 --> 31:27.400
The coffee will take care of the problem.

31:27.400 --> 31:29.400
Yo.

31:29.400 --> 31:30.200
Night.

31:37.700 --> 31:40.900
terrifying she doesn't remember me

31:44.700 --> 31:45.500
Remember he has a

31:56.700 --> 31:58.700
the songs go okay because...

31:58.700 --> 32:00.700
Not. I'll get above.

32:00.700 --> 32:02.700
I understand.

32:02.700 --> 32:04.700
You get cold.

32:04.700 --> 32:06.700
No. Well,

32:06.700 --> 32:08.700
I was out until Kaiser until

32:08.700 --> 32:10.700
2.30 in the morning.

32:10.700 --> 32:12.700
Kaiser aluminum.

32:12.700 --> 32:14.700
How was their fireworks?

32:14.700 --> 32:16.700
Yeah.

32:16.700 --> 32:18.700
Well, we watched fireworks.

32:18.700 --> 32:20.700
We actually climbed

32:20.700 --> 32:22.700
up on top of our roof with the kids.

32:22.700 --> 32:24.100
With James and Abby.

32:24.700 --> 32:27.740
And it was fun.

32:27.740 --> 32:28.740
Look at that smile.

32:28.740 --> 32:33.140
There was, it wasn't like a giant firework show in our neighborhood, but I mean there

32:33.140 --> 32:40.900
were several neighbors that had, you know, 20 firework or, you know, 20 launchers or

32:40.900 --> 32:41.900
whatever.

32:41.900 --> 32:46.460
You know, sometimes it is the neighborhoods, like, you know, cities may have like, the

32:46.460 --> 32:47.460
higher and bigger.

32:47.460 --> 32:48.460
A lot of firework.

32:48.460 --> 32:51.460
But I mean, you see some neighborhoods, like, they're like, wow.

32:52.100 --> 32:55.100
And they may have lost their house, but thank you for saving us money. It's beautiful.

32:55.100 --> 32:56.800
I avoided that.

32:57.100 --> 33:00.300
I mean it's nothing like Daniel's neighborhood, but...

33:00.300 --> 33:02.300
I don't like spending my own time.

33:02.300 --> 33:04.300
It was fun.

33:04.300 --> 33:06.300
That's how she's drinking.

33:06.300 --> 33:08.300
In the safest way...

33:08.300 --> 33:12.300
I'm glad she's a little taller than on the TV or what's going on here.

33:12.300 --> 33:14.300
I know. I live in a house.

33:14.300 --> 33:16.300
I feel glad for her house.

33:16.300 --> 33:20.300
I have three neighbors and they're just swinging help bars and like, shoot.

33:20.300 --> 33:25.100
But when they start hitting my hand level, I guess I just flap around because I'm like, oh!

33:25.100 --> 33:27.100
So where did they get all that money?

33:27.100 --> 33:29.100
I know, right.

33:29.100 --> 33:31.100
One of them does a better job than this but Camp City.

33:31.100 --> 33:35.100
I don't know how they do it.

33:35.100 --> 33:40.100
This state is getting more and more non-American.

33:40.100 --> 33:41.100
Washington?

33:41.100 --> 33:42.100
Yes.

33:42.100 --> 33:44.100
The People's Republic of Washington?

33:45.400 --> 33:47.400
Amazing!

33:47.400 --> 33:51.400
Yesterday I was with my sister-in-law, she brought a friend over from Seattle.

33:51.400 --> 33:53.400
We had a birthday party.

33:53.400 --> 33:56.400
I asked her how was her wife versus Seattle.

33:56.400 --> 33:59.400
I couldn't hear anything you said.

33:59.400 --> 34:02.400
I guess the Bible.

34:02.400 --> 34:06.400
It's a Bible word, don't worry.

34:08.600 --> 34:11.600
But, no, I was just saying, at least watch the reveal of our next year.

34:11.600 --> 34:13.600
Maybe not the year after, I don't know.

34:13.600 --> 34:14.600
Oh, yeah.

34:14.600 --> 34:18.600
I was talking to this lady from Seattle yesterday,

34:18.600 --> 34:20.600
and I asked her how the fireworks in Seattle is like,

34:20.600 --> 34:22.600
and everybody goes wild with the fireworks.

34:22.600 --> 34:24.600
So, I guess what I know is like, yeah, why not?

34:24.900 --> 34:29.900
Well, because, you know, like, we have like, you know, there are reservations here.

34:29.900 --> 34:36.900
It's weird on the other side, like, where I live near the, uh, the Muckachutes, uh, the Yolo.

34:36.900 --> 34:41.900
They have little blocks, like, throughout, like, King and Pierce County, like, the populated areas.

34:41.900 --> 34:44.900
They'll just be like a square mile to the address.

34:44.900 --> 34:49.900
So, it's really hard for them to regulate because every couple miles, there's typically reservation land.

34:49.900 --> 34:50.900
Right.

34:50.900 --> 34:51.900
And they go by federal law, which is...

34:51.900 --> 34:52.900
Can we do these ones?

34:52.900 --> 34:54.900
way less restrictive.

34:54.900 --> 34:58.180
So then, then it's hard because technically

34:58.180 --> 34:59.780
we're gonna be on the edge of the res

34:59.780 --> 35:02.540
and just be blowing stuff up like crazy.

35:02.540 --> 35:04.020
So then it's a little hard for the cops

35:04.020 --> 35:06.900
to respond to that, and then a few blocks away.

35:07.300 --> 35:11.540
And just like the ballet, I'm sure tomorrow my very first request will be for the chief

35:11.540 --> 35:12.540
to seek out the police.

35:12.540 --> 35:13.540
But what's your fire alarm response?

35:13.540 --> 35:18.540
Because they won't put in a policy because they don't want to answer state law.

35:18.540 --> 35:21.540
This is what the cops in the ballet do for four hours.

35:23.000 --> 35:27.000
Oh, is there an injury or a spond?

35:27.000 --> 35:31.000
But they'll just be like, if, as they drive around, when you see people blowing up a lot,

35:31.000 --> 35:35.000
they'll be like, hey, be careful and remember to leave your floor on,

35:35.000 --> 35:38.000
they drive away before they blow something up so they don't have to do anything.

35:38.000 --> 35:43.000
Because you gotta think, there's only honestly like five to eight people on,

35:43.000 --> 35:45.000
and there's, you know, a hundred thousand people,

35:45.000 --> 35:48.000
and at least a couple hundred people have gone nuts with fireworks,

35:48.000 --> 35:51.000
So they're like as long as it's the form.

35:51.000 --> 35:56.760
the fourth of New Year's, you know, maybe a Super Bowl win or something.

35:57.000 --> 36:08.000
So you're telling me the only way to actually get in trouble with the police on the 4th of July with fireworks is if I aim the mortar at the open window of the cop car when they slow down?

36:08.000 --> 36:14.000
This would probably be a poor choice. It will probably get a lot of attention.

36:14.000 --> 36:15.000
Yeah.

36:15.000 --> 36:19.000
Or it could, but here's the thing is a lot of times it's one of like it's fires.

36:19.000 --> 36:23.000
Cause here's the thing is, especially you know it's been a little drier, there's fires

36:23.000 --> 36:24.000
going on.

36:24.000 --> 36:25.000
So they're going to respond to that.

36:25.000 --> 36:27.400
try to help the fire department with that out.

36:27.400 --> 36:29.560
But while that's going on, there's all the other stuff.

36:29.560 --> 36:32.720
And then frankly, half the people they're responding to

36:32.720 --> 36:36.000
are probably off duty officers, so then you know.

36:39.200 --> 36:41.200
They're trying to make sure at least if you have the,

36:41.200 --> 36:43.200
it always mispronounces it, the tannerite.

36:43.200 --> 36:45.200
The tannerite?

36:45.200 --> 36:47.200
You're at least further out. Like get out of the valley

36:47.200 --> 36:50.200
probably would have that big barrel exposed to the air.

36:53.100 --> 36:54.100
That's funny.

37:20.000 --> 37:23.000
But at the end of the field, you want to just sit on there.

37:23.000 --> 37:27.000
So eventually, two to three weeks before whatever holiday,

37:27.000 --> 37:31.000
to at least four days after, you're still on the rest area.

37:31.000 --> 37:34.000
It's adjacent to people just 24 hours a day.

37:34.000 --> 37:39.000
It's like, just like the old days.

37:39.000 --> 37:45.000
And when they say boom city, it's boom city.

37:45.000 --> 37:47.000
One on the other side.

37:48.500 --> 37:55.500
And then, maybe 400 yards away, there's people just blowing up stuff.

37:55.500 --> 38:05.500
I watched, I don't know if he was on alcohol or whatever, but he took an M1000 and he threw it and then he stepped on it.

38:10.600 --> 38:12.600
He's got the crazy...

38:12.600 --> 38:14.600
Like I had that crazy...

38:14.600 --> 38:19.600
He's trying to do a safety, but remember this is a teenage brain safety.

38:19.600 --> 38:21.600
That's him!

38:21.600 --> 38:25.600
He had the in-aids, not in a thousand, but in-aids.

38:25.600 --> 38:27.600
Put it on your...

38:28.500 --> 38:35.060
fingers open you'll have a crash or what not problem is if you're holding stuff

38:35.060 --> 38:40.180
like this safety lesson by demonstrating

38:41.860 --> 38:50.660
there's a lot of time you have all his fingers just some rashes

38:50.800 --> 38:59.800
Yeah, but I think mine because I'd always go to like stands that they were selling like last year's stock so it's not the best but

38:59.800 --> 39:08.800
cause they pay like one tenth of what they charge you for that so you can usually like know them or buy a lot of little mark out of them over there

39:08.800 --> 39:15.800
cause it's all a profit to them. But I sort of like, I did just a couple of the, I was like the first.

39:16.600 --> 39:19.000
At least one or two of them failed.

39:19.000 --> 39:21.040
So instead of going up in the stairs, they're like,

39:21.040 --> 39:22.520
boop, boop.

39:22.520 --> 39:24.560
Oh.

39:24.560 --> 39:32.200
So me and my cousin would build homemade mortars out of PBC.

39:32.200 --> 39:34.520
And we crafted a shell that would.

39:35.200 --> 39:41.400
You know, the bottom had a fuse in it that was mostly covered with glue, but a little

39:41.400 --> 39:45.400
was exposed so the explosion would light it and it would, you know, it would shoot it

39:45.400 --> 39:51.400
out and it would explode, you know, all of a sudden.

39:51.400 --> 39:55.200
Well, one time he was by himself.

39:55.800 --> 39:58.800
And you know, he was experimenting with these cannons.

39:58.800 --> 40:03.800
And in his infinite wisdom, he decided to start holding the cannon.

40:03.800 --> 40:06.800
And he had like leather gloves on.

40:06.800 --> 40:12.800
You know, the PPC pipe can only take so many explosions before it fails.

40:12.800 --> 40:14.800
Yeah.

40:14.800 --> 40:16.800
So it...

40:16.800 --> 40:18.800
Oh, go ahead. Sorry.

40:18.800 --> 40:22.800
Well, he's holding it and he shot it and it exploded in his hand.

40:24.200 --> 40:28.200
And he said, like, he was, like, in shock.

40:28.200 --> 40:31.200
He was like, I need to make sure I'm okay.

40:31.200 --> 40:37.200
So he said he, like, ran around the hill, clapping, to make sure his hands were still there.

40:37.200 --> 40:41.200
I got it. You know, stuff may fall off.

40:41.200 --> 40:45.200
I'll never forget that.

40:45.500 --> 40:48.500
My friend figured out sparkler bombs because...

40:48.500 --> 40:52.500
Yeah, he used to take gummies and I used to dump cake in them all together.

40:52.500 --> 40:55.500
We used electrical tape, but yeah, same difference.

40:55.500 --> 40:57.500
Yeah, but yeah, just make it really thick.

40:57.500 --> 41:03.500
And this one year, we'd have like, what, they'd come in packs of vibes or something like that.

41:03.500 --> 41:08.500
But this one year, he's like, you know what, I'm not making my vibes, I'm making one.

41:08.500 --> 41:13.500
I don't know how many packs he put into it, but it was this big old thing and he spent it.

41:13.500 --> 41:16.980
And this was almost 30 years ago.

41:16.980 --> 41:21.980
Like $20 in like electrical tape just to wrap this thing up good.

41:21.980 --> 41:27.700
And then we went to what we thought was a safe distance.

41:27.700 --> 41:31.500
I add that because luckily, you know, I still see in here.

41:31.500 --> 41:32.300
But like.

41:32.500 --> 41:38.500
I had the split second to see the shockwave. The shockwave went past us.

41:38.500 --> 41:44.500
Like, luckily the blast, like we're far enough before the fire, but it was just the concussion.

41:44.500 --> 41:48.500
And like, car alarms were going off in like all directions around us.

41:48.500 --> 41:51.500
I am so glad windows did not shatter. I do know how.

41:51.500 --> 41:54.500
We had neighbors coming in the block like, I already called the cops!

41:54.500 --> 41:58.500
You know, like multiple like, I was like, dude.

41:59.500 --> 42:02.300
And his dad came out, luckily, only at one.

42:02.300 --> 42:04.500
His dad, you know, works during nights.

42:04.500 --> 42:06.500
Of course, this was not during Fourth of July.

42:06.500 --> 42:08.500
It was this year!

42:08.500 --> 42:10.500
But we weren't patient enough to wait.

42:10.500 --> 42:12.500
It was spring-ish.

42:13.500 --> 42:14.500
He came out and he's like,

42:14.500 --> 42:16.500
Frank, you get up here, you little...

42:16.500 --> 42:18.500
What in my house? I'm a liar!

42:18.500 --> 42:19.500
Like, whoa!

42:19.500 --> 42:21.500
Uh, so...

42:21.600 --> 42:26.600
But yeah, I'm so glad we didn't get injured and all that because I was like, whatever we thought a same distance was,

42:26.600 --> 42:31.600
you know, we didn't really quite do the square root or whatever.

42:31.600 --> 42:36.600
As we added far more, you know, it wasn't a linear growth.

42:36.600 --> 42:38.600
I don't know what I was going to say.

42:38.600 --> 42:42.600
We were both like, oh my gosh, you're way too close.

42:44.600 --> 42:47.600
And probably supper was not the place to set foot.

42:50.000 --> 42:51.000
Uh...

42:52.000 --> 42:54.000
Well, me and my cousin, we would make, uh...

42:54.500 --> 42:56.500
bombs out of, uh, metal...

42:57.000 --> 42:59.000
like, like black iron pipe.

42:59.500 --> 43:01.500
But we would be, like, very far away,

43:01.500 --> 43:02.500
because we were...

43:02.500 --> 43:04.500
relatively well aware of...

43:05.000 --> 43:06.000
shrapnel, you know?

43:06.000 --> 43:07.500
So we would, uh, we would be...

43:07.500 --> 43:08.500
We're doing science!

43:08.500 --> 43:09.500
Yeah!

43:11.500 --> 43:13.500
I'll tell ya, I think the worst, and luckily,

43:13.500 --> 43:15.000
has never really caught much attention.

43:15.000 --> 43:17.500
We like dry ice mugs, which aren't...

43:17.500 --> 43:17.900
low-stress.

43:18.300 --> 43:21.300
at least you know, in a normal bottle.

43:21.300 --> 43:25.300
But what we like to do is, if we had it, like some friend was leaving,

43:25.300 --> 43:28.300
let's just put some in there and throw it in the back seat.

43:28.300 --> 43:33.300
Because when I really got the measurement down, sometimes it's like 40 seconds,

43:33.300 --> 43:36.300
and sometimes like 20 minutes later it finally gets an over the question.

43:36.300 --> 43:41.300
But he like got like home and also it's like, whoa, it's a guy!

43:41.300 --> 43:43.300
But it finally flew in his back seat.

43:46.200 --> 43:51.200
I think those are mostly, once again, as long as you didn't have your fingers around it for some reason.

43:51.200 --> 43:52.200
Yeah.

43:54.200 --> 43:56.200
I put the light bulb in the microwave.

43:59.200 --> 44:02.200
So you just stick the light bulb in the microwave and turn it on?

44:02.200 --> 44:11.200
You know, someone said, you know, if you put a light bulb in the cup, the water, the light up would lit up, but, you know, fortunately I just kept on watching it.

44:12.900 --> 44:21.540
get the hotter guy you know just like I'm gonna light my room with this

44:37.100 --> 44:37.600
Okay.

44:43.600 --> 44:49.100
Apparently if you put like the right size grapes into a microwave it'll turn into plasma.

44:50.600 --> 44:51.100
Cause like...

44:52.600 --> 44:53.100
Yeah.

44:53.900 --> 45:02.900
I guess like the grape is like the same wavelength size as the gamma ray or you know, whatever

45:02.900 --> 45:10.260
the microwave I guess.

45:10.260 --> 45:16.700
One time I put a Hershey bar into the microwave that still had the wrapper on it and it just

45:16.700 --> 45:17.700
went like...

45:17.700 --> 45:19.700
I was like, oh!

45:21.800 --> 45:23.000
No! No! No!

45:27.100 --> 45:29.100
It smelled funny.

45:29.100 --> 45:31.100
The chocolate kind of smelled funny too.

45:31.100 --> 45:33.100
There you are!

45:36.100 --> 45:38.380
Gugger bars are worse than money!

45:43.200 --> 45:45.200
I still ate it, I'm pretty sure.

45:45.200 --> 45:47.200
But it wasn't that hot.

45:47.200 --> 45:49.200
It didn't melt that much. I was kind of disappointed.

45:49.200 --> 45:51.200
I'm sure it cools off really quick.

45:51.200 --> 45:54.200
Well, we can only microwave it for about five seconds, you know.

45:54.200 --> 45:56.200
It's not gonna get that hot.

45:58.200 --> 46:00.200
Eight seconds, lovely.

46:02.200 --> 46:04.200
It's like the dirt.

46:04.200 --> 46:06.200
I just want you soft.

46:06.200 --> 46:07.700
And you're still frozen.

46:08.700 --> 46:11.980
Well, the butter, like, melts a hole through the middle.

46:11.980 --> 46:14.480
Yeah, it probably boils inside the oven.

46:14.480 --> 46:14.980
Yeah.

46:18.800 --> 46:24.000
Yeah, it'll be like bubbling and like burnt, but then half of it will still be solid.

46:24.000 --> 46:27.520
So you have to sit there and like do this for five minutes.

46:33.680 --> 46:36.960
Two minutes. Sermon's starting in two minutes, brother Paul. So I hope you're...

46:38.080 --> 46:42.800
Hope you're ready. I appreciate you, Paul. I'm glad you...

46:43.400 --> 46:46.400
picked up the slack for me. Appreciate it.

47:03.600 --> 47:07.760
I'm gonna try to get a sermon kind of up in the morning when you guys are like,

47:07.760 --> 47:12.480
I was trying to get you just in case, because I was like, last night, not as rough as you were,

47:12.480 --> 47:15.240
but I was just tired by the time you got here.

47:15.240 --> 47:18.240
But when you saw it, I was like, oh, okay.

47:18.240 --> 47:21.240
Well, I did, I have half a sermon.

47:21.240 --> 47:25.160
And at 11 o'clock, good morning.

47:25.160 --> 47:28.160
At 11 o'clock, I was, uh...

47:31.200 --> 47:39.200
I was like, getting my stuff off the laundry, and then I took my phone out and put the laundry over.

47:39.200 --> 47:41.200
Yeah, so I said it was funny.

47:41.200 --> 47:42.200
No.

47:42.200 --> 47:43.200
Sorry.

47:43.200 --> 47:44.200
No.

47:44.200 --> 47:45.200
No.

47:45.200 --> 47:46.200
She told us.

47:46.200 --> 47:47.200
No.

47:47.200 --> 47:49.200
Yeah, so I was like, wait.

47:49.200 --> 47:51.200
Friday and yesterday were crazy.

47:51.200 --> 47:52.200
No.

47:52.200 --> 47:53.200
Oh, my God, I'm weird.

47:55.100 --> 47:57.100
What are you doing at Kaiser?

47:57.100 --> 48:09.100
Well they have these trains, these big charge trains, they have like control, you know the guy sits in the control house and has to have AC and stuff.

48:09.100 --> 48:19.100
So they have these giant, giant ACs and uh, for this little tiny room, it's so hot, right?

48:19.100 --> 48:22.900
And uh, they break down all the time.

48:23.400 --> 48:26.400
They can't keep the paint.

48:26.400 --> 48:27.400
Yeah.

48:27.400 --> 48:29.400
Well, it's so dirty.

48:29.400 --> 48:31.400
It's got paint on dust.

48:31.400 --> 48:32.400
Yeah.

48:32.400 --> 48:34.400
So they break down all the time.

48:34.400 --> 48:35.400
You know.

48:35.400 --> 48:39.400
I told my wife, I was like, you know, pretty sure I'm going to get cold tonight.

48:39.400 --> 48:41.400
Sure enough.

48:41.400 --> 48:42.400
You know.

48:42.400 --> 48:43.400
It's cold.

48:43.400 --> 48:44.400
It can get warmer.

48:44.400 --> 48:45.400
Yeah.

48:45.400 --> 48:48.400
That's what I was doing.

48:50.700 --> 48:51.200
Hi.

49:17.000 --> 49:30.000
Well, Ryan and his family are in Yakima and so is the Thompson's.

49:30.000 --> 49:33.000
Yes, they're all, they're in Yakima right now.

49:33.000 --> 49:39.000
They had their anniversary over in Yakima for the church over there.

49:39.000 --> 49:42.000
Remy will be back this evening though.

49:56.200 --> 50:07.960
Thank you.

50:10.100 --> 50:10.940
I want water.

50:22.200 --> 50:25.200
I forgot my eyeballs.

50:26.200 --> 50:28.200
Oh man, that's no good.

50:28.200 --> 50:30.200
How'd you drive here today?

50:30.200 --> 50:33.200
Well, I can drive on spines by reading.

50:33.200 --> 50:37.200
Oh, you gotta hold it far away?

50:41.800 --> 50:49.800
Alright, welcome to Scher Foundation Baptist Church. If you guys want to go ahead and take your hymnals, we're going to turn to page number 293.

50:50.800 --> 50:57.800
Page number 293 is your All on the Altar.

51:00.000 --> 51:02.320
page number 293.

51:11.800 --> 51:19.600
You have longed for sweet peace, and for faith to increase,

51:19.600 --> 51:25.400
And have earnestly, fervently prayed.

51:30.400 --> 51:35.400
or be perfectly blessed until all is well.

52:01.600 --> 52:02.600
and have peace.

52:05.300 --> 52:12.300
As you yield Him your body and soul.

52:12.300 --> 52:17.300
Would you walk with the Lord in the light of day?

52:20.400 --> 52:25.400
And have peace and contentment always.

52:27.900 --> 52:35.220
Must do his sweet will, To be free from all ill,

52:35.220 --> 52:36.200
On the own.

53:19.900 --> 53:24.580
The blessing for which we have prayed.

54:03.600 --> 54:08.800
As you yield Him your body and soul.

54:11.000 --> 54:18.440
Who can tell all the love He will send from above?

54:18.440 --> 54:23.480
And how happy our hearts will be made!

54:29.100 --> 54:33.980
We shall stare at his feet when our arms are joined.

55:03.200 --> 55:08.160
As you yield him your body and soul

55:13.000 --> 55:15.000
Excellent. Seeing everybody, I'll be able to apologize please.

55:18.900 --> 55:23.900
prayer for those who are traveling and those not here with us today.

55:23.900 --> 55:28.900
Amen. Alright, if you want to take your hymnals we're going to turn to page number 259.

55:33.500 --> 55:40.500
Page number 259. Jesus Saves.

55:46.900 --> 55:55.300
We have heard the joyful sound, Jesus saves, Jesus saves.

55:55.300 --> 56:03.300
Spread the tidings all around, Jesus saves, Jesus saves.

56:03.300 --> 56:09.100
Bear the news to every land, climb the steeps,

56:09.100 --> 56:13.100
and cross the waves onward to the sky.

56:13.500 --> 56:28.300
our Lord's command. Jesus saves, Jesus saves, wafted on the rolling tide. Jesus saves, Jesus saves,

56:28.300 --> 56:39.900
tell to sinners far and wide. Jesus saves, Jesus saves, sing the islands of the sea.

56:40.400 --> 56:44.640
Echo back the ocean caves

56:44.640 --> 56:47.840
Birth shall keep her Jubilee

56:53.900 --> 56:58.940
Above the battle-strived Jesus saith.

56:59.500 --> 57:09.580
Jesus saves by His death an endless life. Jesus saves, Jesus saves.

57:09.580 --> 57:17.980
Sing it softly through the gloom when the heart for mercy craves.

57:17.980 --> 57:21.980
Sing it triumph for the two.

57:22.700 --> 57:30.860
Jesus saves, Jesus save, Give the winds a mighty voice.

57:33.200 --> 57:45.560
Jesus saves. Let the nations now rejoice. Jesus saves. Jesus saves. Shall salvation

57:45.560 --> 58:00.300
fall and free? Highest hills and deepest caves. This our song of victory. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.

58:03.000 --> 58:07.000
excellent seeing everybody at this time we will have our announcements

58:11.500 --> 58:13.740
All right, well good morning everyone.

58:13.740 --> 58:17.000
The verse of the week is John 8 verse 36.

58:17.000 --> 58:19.420
John 8 verse 36.

58:19.420 --> 58:22.020
If the sun therefore shall make you free,

58:22.020 --> 58:25.580
ye shall be free indeed.

58:25.580 --> 58:28.120
John 8 verse 36.

58:28.500 --> 58:33.160
Alright, service times are 10.30 this morning through 3.30 this afternoon and 6.30 for our

58:33.160 --> 58:34.860
Bible study on Wednesday.

58:34.860 --> 58:42.680
Solding times are Saturdays at 12.30 and Sundays at 1pm.

58:42.680 --> 58:47.600
Salvation for June were 15 for a total of 101 for the year so far.

58:48.800 --> 58:51.920
Tens down below, numbers there.

58:51.920 --> 58:57.240
Upcoming event in the later part of this month is July 28th will be the next homeschool day

58:57.240 --> 59:00.080
for all those kids that are homeschooled.

59:00.080 --> 59:01.960
That will be 11am here in the building.

59:01.960 --> 59:05.500
Just RSVP with Ms. Kylie if you wish to attend.

59:05.500 --> 59:06.400
Going on right now.

59:06.900 --> 59:13.460
During July and August, we have a summer soul awareness challenge.

59:13.460 --> 59:20.180
What this is is the Thompsons want us all to invite 25 people to go to church

59:20.180 --> 59:24.180
and preach the gospel outside of soul winning times.

59:24.400 --> 59:29.200
So the theory is a lot of us, you know, we were pretty dedicated or, you know, we go out,

59:29.200 --> 59:34.600
and everyone in this church has, and we go out and we take time and we dedicate to just invite people to church.

59:34.600 --> 59:36.100
But what this is...

59:36.300 --> 59:46.300
It's just a time to remember, it's like, remember we run into people at work, in our homes, in our routines, at our hobbies, shopping, walking, whatever we're doing in our lives.

59:46.300 --> 59:51.300
I mean, hey, you get in a car track, there's nurses that need invites, right?

59:51.300 --> 59:56.300
And I say that because one of the brothers I used to go to church with, one of the first churches I went to,

59:56.300 --> 01:00:03.900
that's where he actually started going to church, was he was in a hospital recovering and the person next-bed is like, hey, you should come to my church when you get up.

01:00:04.100 --> 01:00:06.540
It just came to my mind thinking about that story.

01:00:06.540 --> 01:00:08.340
But wherever you find yourself, there

01:00:08.340 --> 01:00:09.980
are other people that need the gospel,

01:00:09.980 --> 01:00:12.260
just like when we go out two by two into the world.

01:00:12.260 --> 01:00:13.860
So that's just the challenge right now.

01:00:13.860 --> 01:00:16.600
In the next two months, 25 people.

01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:19.160
If you haven't started yet, you've got plenty of time.

01:00:19.160 --> 01:00:21.640
So just that's going on.

01:00:21.640 --> 01:00:23.280
If you have any more questions, please

01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:26.880
ask the Thompsons for any more clarification.

01:00:26.880 --> 01:00:29.720
Kids, your memory verse right now is Matthew 19, verse 14.

01:00:29.720 --> 01:00:31.800
Matthew 19, verse 14.

01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:33.800
But Jesus said, suffer the little children,

01:00:33.800 --> 01:00:36.800
forbid them not to come unto me, for as such

01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:38.600
is the kingdom of heaven.

01:00:39.500 --> 01:00:42.620
If you can recite that to Ms. Kylie,

01:00:42.620 --> 01:00:45.540
there is a candy for your reward.

01:00:45.540 --> 01:00:46.540
Rules are all the same.

01:00:46.540 --> 01:00:48.660
Tithing information is below.

01:00:48.660 --> 01:00:50.680
Upcoming birthdays, we have a few birthdays

01:00:50.680 --> 01:00:54.580
coming up later this month, all kind of grouped together.

01:00:54.580 --> 01:00:57.100
And also the seventh coming up here in a few days

01:00:57.100 --> 01:01:00.460
will be Pastor Thompson and his wife's anniversary

01:01:00.460 --> 01:01:01.060
on the seventh.

01:01:01.060 --> 01:01:03.780
So that's coming up in just a couple days.

01:01:03.780 --> 01:01:04.280
So.

01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:07.640
With that, that's all the announcements.

01:01:07.640 --> 01:01:10.000
If you have any other announcements or prayer requests,

01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:12.680
please just let myself or the Thompson's know

01:01:12.680 --> 01:01:14.720
and they will get it into the bulletin.

01:01:14.720 --> 01:01:17.320
But with that, let's turn to Lord in prayer.

01:01:17.320 --> 01:01:18.360
Heavenly Father, thank you, Jesus,

01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:20.840
thank you for allowing us to be here to this day.

01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:22.360
We pray for those that are traveling

01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:24.400
and those that are still suffering from illness.

01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:27.400
Lord, we just pray that everyone is safe and recovered.

01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:28.360
Lord, we give thanks.

01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:31.320
There's many things we may not care for the government

01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:33.000
of this nation, but Lord, we give thanks.

01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:37.760
Thanks that we still have the freedom to preach your word. We still have the freedom to actually go out and

01:01:38.040 --> 01:01:43.020
Preach your word in public in the streets and the houses Lord. We have the protection here

01:01:43.020 --> 01:01:48.100
We just pray we maintain that we can go out into the world to spread your seed Lord

01:01:48.100 --> 01:01:51.300
We keep Amanda's mother in prayer and guidance in her life

01:01:51.300 --> 01:01:58.040
We pray for my wife's father's health and also her aunt's health. We pray for my neighbor Jones lupus

01:01:58.620 --> 01:02:00.920
Treatment so she can still garden for yet

01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:04.620
another year. We pray for God's will to be seen in Tipti's life and Justice to be in

01:02:04.620 --> 01:02:10.660
Shanika's life. We pray for, give thanks for the successful surgery for Lamont's

01:02:10.660 --> 01:02:16.000
family but keep them in prayer as they recover from that. Keep...

01:02:16.700 --> 01:02:23.900
Prayers for Kylie's great grandmother who is out of hospital, but just continue for her recovery.

01:02:23.900 --> 01:02:30.900
Keep Kyle's uncle in prayer. I believe he announced last week it's taking kind of a turn that it's probably sooner than later.

01:02:30.900 --> 01:02:35.700
He'll be out of comfort care, but keep him in prayer during that time remaining.

01:02:35.700 --> 01:02:39.100
Also keep Kyle in prayer for guidance and healing in his life.

01:02:39.100 --> 01:02:41.700
With all this, Lord, we give thanks to the many people that are able to make it.

01:02:41.700 --> 01:02:44.700
We pray for even more visitors to show. We pray for them to become regular.

01:02:44.700 --> 01:02:50.700
members to be disciplinary soul winners. We go out and bring your shining bright light to this world. In Jesus name, Amen.

01:02:55.600 --> 01:03:01.920
Alright, if you want to take your Bibles or your psalm books and turn to Psalm 117.

01:03:03.920 --> 01:03:07.420
Psalm 117.

01:03:09.420 --> 01:03:10.920
We'll sing it twice through.

01:03:12.920 --> 01:03:19.420
Oh praise the Lord, all ye nations.

01:03:20.200 --> 01:03:32.840
Praise Him all ye people, for His merciful kindness is great toward us,

01:03:32.840 --> 01:03:39.720
and the truth of the Lord endureth forever.

01:03:39.720 --> 01:03:40.520
Praise Him.

01:04:07.700 --> 01:04:15.140
This is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever.

01:04:18.200 --> 01:04:20.200
crazy

01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:47.700
everybody. Brother Paul, would you please pray for the offering? Amen.

01:05:31.800 --> 01:05:35.800
If you want to go ahead and take your Bibles, we're going to turn to Hebrews chapter number four.

01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:39.800
That's Hebrews chapter number four.

01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:52.000
Hebrews chapter number four.

01:05:58.200 --> 01:06:00.200
Beginning in verse number one, the Bible reads,

01:06:00.200 --> 01:06:06.200
Let us therefore fear, lest they promise being left us, entering into his rest.

01:06:06.200 --> 01:06:09.200
Any of you should seem to come short of it.

01:06:09.200 --> 01:06:13.200
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them.

01:06:13.200 --> 01:06:19.200
But the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

01:06:19.200 --> 01:06:23.100
For we which have believed do enter into rest.

01:06:23.300 --> 01:06:27.240
As He said, as I have sworn in My wrath,

01:06:27.240 --> 01:06:29.240
if they shall enter into My rest,

01:06:29.240 --> 01:06:31.440
although the works were finished

01:06:31.440 --> 01:06:33.280
from the foundation of the world,

01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:36.680
for He spake in a certain place of the seventh day,

01:06:36.680 --> 01:06:38.080
on this wise.

01:06:38.080 --> 01:06:42.080
And God did rest the seventh day from all His works.

01:06:42.080 --> 01:06:44.120
And in this place again,

01:06:44.120 --> 01:06:46.620
if they shall enter into My rest,

01:06:46.620 --> 01:06:48.520
seeing therefore, it remaineth

01:06:48.520 --> 01:06:50.860
that some must enter therein.

01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:53.480
and they to whom it was first preached

01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:56.800
entered not in because of unbelief.

01:06:56.800 --> 01:06:59.240
Again, He limiteth a certain day,

01:06:59.240 --> 01:07:00.640
saying in David,

01:07:00.640 --> 01:07:03.280
Today, after so long a time,

01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:04.680
as it is said,

01:07:04.680 --> 01:07:07.320
Today, if you will hear His voice,

01:07:07.320 --> 01:07:09.120
harden not your hearts.

01:07:09.120 --> 01:07:11.720
For if Jesus had given them rest,

01:07:11.720 --> 01:07:13.720
then would He not afterward

01:07:13.720 --> 01:07:15.200
have spoken of another day?

01:07:16.200 --> 01:07:20.400
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

01:07:20.400 --> 01:07:23.000
For he that is entered into his rest,

01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:26.300
he also hath ceased from his own works,

01:07:26.300 --> 01:07:28.200
as God did from his.

01:07:28.200 --> 01:07:31.800
Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest,

01:07:31.800 --> 01:07:35.800
lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."

01:07:36.100 --> 01:07:40.500
For the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword,

01:07:40.500 --> 01:07:44.260
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,

01:07:44.260 --> 01:07:49.140
and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

01:07:49.700 --> 01:07:55.900
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight,

01:07:55.900 --> 01:07:59.300
but all things are naked and open under the eyes of him

01:07:59.300 --> 01:08:01.300
with whom we have to do,

01:08:01.300 --> 01:08:04.100
seeing then that we have a great high priest

01:08:04.100 --> 01:08:06.100
that is passed into the heavens.

01:08:06.100 --> 01:08:10.300
Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

01:08:10.900 --> 01:08:15.700
For we have not, and high priest, which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities,

01:08:15.700 --> 01:08:22.100
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin, let us therefore come boldly

01:08:22.100 --> 01:08:29.060
under the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

01:08:29.060 --> 01:08:31.060
Brother Daniels, please play for the preaching.

01:08:44.900 --> 01:08:49.860
Amen. Well, thank you coming out this morning. I'm glad to see everyone here.

01:08:49.860 --> 01:08:54.340
This is going to be a little bit different of a sermon because basically one thing that's always

01:08:54.340 --> 01:08:57.300
kind of been amazing to me is that

01:08:57.500 --> 01:09:02.860
coming, you know, I got saved later in life. But it's interesting because I look back through my life and there was wisdom,

01:09:03.420 --> 01:09:05.100
Bible wisdom,

01:09:05.100 --> 01:09:09.740
kind of passed through just our culture, the way we talk, how we say, and it's interesting because

01:09:10.220 --> 01:09:13.180
if you look down at Hebrews 4 and verse 12, it says,

01:09:13.580 --> 01:09:17.980
For the word of God is quick, powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword,

01:09:18.280 --> 01:09:25.420
piercing even the dividing asunder and soul and spirit of the joints and the marrow, and discerning of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

01:09:25.500 --> 01:09:30.660
Because as we believe that we are Bible believers that the Word of God is sharper than two-edged sword

01:09:30.660 --> 01:09:33.440
And it will pierce us through and it can totally

01:09:33.780 --> 01:09:39.300
Shine the light and actually cast shame upon us in the way that we are what's interesting is

01:09:39.900 --> 01:09:45.900
I believe through sayings, idioms, and cliches, and these are just fancy things of like little terms that we use,

01:09:45.900 --> 01:09:49.900
and the way we describe the world, the way we remorse, and the way we go,

01:09:49.900 --> 01:09:53.900
we'll find that there's things from the Bible that maybe you don't even realize were from the Bible.

01:09:53.900 --> 01:09:57.900
Now, a lot of us here, we've read the Bible, we've heard of Bible preaching for years,

01:09:57.900 --> 01:10:00.900
so maybe you've picked on this, but when I came to Christianity,

01:10:00.900 --> 01:10:05.900
I don't think I really realized how many sayings actually came from the Bible that are in our culture.

01:10:05.900 --> 01:10:07.900
And I did think the English world.

01:10:07.900 --> 01:10:14.560
It's of no surprise because really the English language was kind of solidified and formed in the way from French, German,

01:10:15.060 --> 01:10:17.900
Gaelic, and all the other things. It was kind of formed into a unified language

01:10:18.580 --> 01:10:20.940
based on the creation of the Bible in the printing press.

01:10:21.220 --> 01:10:25.080
So it's no wonder that so many sayings have passed down and it's through our culture.

01:10:25.540 --> 01:10:27.760
You're like, well what type of things?

01:10:30.300 --> 01:10:34.400
Well, dozens and dozens of sayings from moral to this, but how about we just go through

01:10:34.400 --> 01:10:37.220
some wisdom or kind of good things we always say through our times?

01:10:37.220 --> 01:10:40.580
How about, hey, keep on the straight and narrow?

01:10:40.580 --> 01:10:42.740
I've heard that long before I was ever a Christian.

01:10:42.740 --> 01:10:44.860
You know, hey, that guy's straight and narrow.

01:10:44.860 --> 01:10:48.860
It means they're good, they're on course, but of course that comes from Matthew 7, 14,

01:10:48.860 --> 01:10:53.340
where it says, because the straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto

01:10:53.340 --> 01:10:55.220
life and few there be that find it.

01:10:55.220 --> 01:10:55.800
We don't.

01:10:55.800 --> 01:11:00.360
All these could go into great deep, and I just want to say I bet some of these if not all of them you probably

01:11:00.360 --> 01:11:06.480
Heard in your day-to-day talk because here's thing is are we really talking about heaven and hell when we say that in day-to-day life

01:11:06.480 --> 01:11:11.000
No, but what you're pulling from they're pulling from the wisdom like hey that guy's straight and narrow

01:11:11.000 --> 01:11:16.560
He's on the path like your boss wants to be like yeah that worker. That's who I want you to follow why because he's straight and narrow

01:11:17.100 --> 01:11:22.020
And that's kind of what I mean. It's not the direct Bible teaching. No one's going to get saved from what I covered today,

01:11:22.020 --> 01:11:29.520
but I just think it's interesting if we reflect. It has influenced our culture, the way we say, the way we think, and maybe you didn't realize these come from the Bible.

01:11:29.520 --> 01:11:32.520
You know, I think all of us have heard an eye for an eye.

01:11:32.520 --> 01:11:39.520
Because, let me tell you this, usually a lot of these sayings, they use it against, like, oh, that's not morality, eye for an eye.

01:11:39.520 --> 01:11:42.020
But a lot of people deep down, you know...

01:11:42.900 --> 01:11:47.060
You know, someone goes and sets a tire, then someone throws a rock through their tire.

01:11:47.060 --> 01:11:50.500
I'm not saying that's right, but you're like, I get it.

01:11:50.500 --> 01:11:52.340
Why? Because it's an eye for an eye.

01:11:52.340 --> 01:11:54.260
And people would describe it as such.

01:11:54.260 --> 01:11:56.100
Even in the court of law, they would say that.

01:11:56.100 --> 01:12:02.820
But what's kind of interesting is if you turn to Matthew 5, Matthew 5,

01:12:02.820 --> 01:12:05.460
Matthew 5 in verse 38, it says, you know,

01:12:05.460 --> 01:12:08.980
ye have heard that it be said, an eye for an eye and tooth for tooth.

01:12:09.400 --> 01:12:16.120
Now here's the second thing we've heard. Hey, just turn the other cheek, which also comes from Matthew 5.39, the next verse.

01:12:16.120 --> 01:12:23.800
It says, but I say to you that if you resist not the evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on my right cheek, turn to him the other also.

01:12:23.800 --> 01:12:28.440
And what's interesting is I actually heard this a lot. Like if you're ever like...

01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:33.600
I think young soldiers or whatnot, your sergeant would always tell you,

01:12:33.600 --> 01:12:35.920
this is like, I don't care if he hits you, just turn the other cheek.

01:12:35.920 --> 01:12:37.720
Like, he's not giving a Bible lesson.

01:12:37.720 --> 01:12:41.480
He's like, I don't care, stop complaining, just take it and move on.

01:12:41.480 --> 01:12:45.640
But I've heard this in other ways, and even atheists will also be like, man,

01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:47.520
just let it go, just turn the other cheek.

01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:50.480
Like, it will come out of people's mouths, and I think it's interesting,

01:12:50.480 --> 01:12:51.200
at least in my life.

01:12:51.200 --> 01:12:55.120
I've seen sayings like this that are biblical, but the people saying it,

01:12:55.120 --> 01:12:58.600
it's not because they studied the Bible, it's because it's just part of how we talk.

01:12:58.600 --> 01:13:02.380
How about now here's the thing not always is it biblical?

01:13:02.880 --> 01:13:05.360
If you don't I'll be going through things pretty fast

01:13:05.360 --> 01:13:11.080
So I understand don't always keep up but in first Timothy 6 first Timothy 6 we have the same that says well money is the root

01:13:11.080 --> 01:13:12.160
of all evil

01:13:12.160 --> 01:13:15.520
Like that's not exactly what it says, but that is the same

01:13:16.000 --> 01:13:20.800
That's actually like the communists and socialists. They're originally that was like their banner

01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:24.440
because they tried to be like, oh, well, we're actually a Christian movement.

01:13:24.440 --> 01:13:28.080
Now, you know, if you read the verse, it's the love of money is the root of all evil.

01:13:28.080 --> 01:13:32.080
But are you saying you've never heard, oh, money is the root of all evil.

01:13:32.080 --> 01:13:35.600
Everyone that hates billionaires and I don't care, you know, governments and all this.

01:13:35.600 --> 01:13:37.400
Hey, what is it? People love money.

01:13:37.400 --> 01:13:38.640
It calls them to go sin.

01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:40.640
And there's a lot of lessons to be learned for that.

01:13:40.640 --> 01:13:43.520
But I'm sure you've heard, well, money is the root of all evil.

01:13:44.200 --> 01:13:47.600
Obviously that's a little change from what the Bible actually teaches the love

01:13:47.600 --> 01:13:51.900
It's the drive of money that can lead you because you can't have money and be a good person

01:13:52.060 --> 01:13:57.460
However, we do know very few will enter and that have wealth right like I said, there's a lot of Bible lessons

01:13:57.460 --> 01:14:04.420
But I've heard that I'm sure you've all heard a iron sharper than iron. I've gone to gyms where that is literally on the wall

01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:07.600
Doesn't have a Bible verse there

01:14:07.600 --> 01:14:12.160
But it's just a lesson and why because it's always pulled from droppers where it's literally hey men

01:14:12.160 --> 01:14:17.680
Shriver and others now obviously in that context. They're like put more iron on it'll make you as strong as iron

01:14:18.240 --> 01:14:20.240
So it's not perfect, but these like

01:14:20.500 --> 01:14:26.520
Why I'm saying these all came from the Bible is here's the thing is the language we speak literally was founded by the

01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:30.800
Writing of this Bible which became the King James it came from the bishop it came from the Tyndale

01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:33.340
But the English language actually formed from the Bible

01:14:33.340 --> 01:14:38.740
So these things came from the Bible first before it was ever termed in any other language or any other way

01:14:39.060 --> 01:14:43.520
So they do drive from that. I just say it's interesting a lot of these ideas come from the Bible

01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:46.000
How about a leopard doesn't change their spots?

01:14:47.200 --> 01:14:50.820
Maybe you haven't heard that, but older generations,

01:14:50.820 --> 01:14:54.140
or if you read a lot of books written about 50 to 100 years

01:14:54.140 --> 01:14:55.620
ago, basically what they're saying

01:14:55.620 --> 01:14:57.660
is this, that person can't change.

01:15:01.700 --> 01:15:02.980
It's just the saying.

01:15:02.980 --> 01:15:05.340
It's one that's there that, like, hey,

01:15:05.340 --> 01:15:07.780
I mean, you've seen the person do it 50 times before,

01:15:07.780 --> 01:15:09.340
they're probably going to do it again.

01:15:09.340 --> 01:15:09.840
Why?

01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:12.100
Because a leopard can't change its spots.

01:15:12.100 --> 01:15:12.900
And that comes.

01:15:13.500 --> 01:15:19.740
from Jeremiah 1328, which I believe actually holds the older saying that we don't use anymore

01:15:19.740 --> 01:15:25.020
for obvious reasons because it says, can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots?

01:15:25.200 --> 01:15:29.480
Obviously most people aren't going to go there now, but that's kind of the idea.

01:15:29.480 --> 01:15:33.120
Like, here's the thing is, we can use that demon Christianity, this, because they're

01:15:33.120 --> 01:15:36.840
like, you know, people are like, you know, like the Mormon doctor, like, well, white

01:15:36.840 --> 01:15:39.920
and blissful, like, hey, the whiter you are, the better you are.

01:15:39.920 --> 01:15:41.640
Like, no, you can't change your skin.

01:15:41.640 --> 01:15:43.840
That doesn't show how morally good person you are.

01:15:44.900 --> 01:15:48.900
But here's the thing is, this is a saying that has been said, you know, a leopard can't change their spots.

01:15:48.900 --> 01:15:53.300
You're like, what do you argue about? Like, do you ever get stressed out about stuff that you can't change?

01:15:54.980 --> 01:15:58.980
Why? A leopard can't change its spots. Move on. Do other things, you know?

01:15:59.620 --> 01:16:05.220
Hey, you got on a car wreck and now you're you missing a leg. You spend the rest of your life regretting the loss of your leg.

01:16:05.220 --> 01:16:08.100
Well, guess what? It's like a leopard can't change its spots. Move on.

01:16:09.000 --> 01:16:13.040
Now you see my southern family that was something that actually would say and I never knew that was from the Bible

01:16:14.120 --> 01:16:20.360
Here's one. We sing we sing this this is true, and I think most you know most atheists use this

01:16:20.360 --> 01:16:24.040
I don't think they know that it's a biblical thing the truth will set you free

01:16:25.120 --> 01:16:28.860
The truth will set you free is from John 8 31 through 32

01:16:29.700 --> 01:16:32.900
But what is here, it's a lesson, but do you think it's a Bible lesson?

01:16:32.900 --> 01:16:36.500
It's like, hey, you learn the truth about Christ, it will set you free from all the false doctrine.

01:16:36.500 --> 01:16:42.300
But what's funny is most so-called scientific minded like, well, if you learn truth, then you wouldn't be religious.

01:16:42.300 --> 01:16:46.300
It's like, it's funny because you're using the doctrine that actually got you science, which is from the Bible.

01:16:46.300 --> 01:16:49.900
But the thing is, that is a saying I'll hear all the place.

01:16:49.900 --> 01:16:55.300
Like someone's just way off, people will just say, dude, the truth will set you free once you just let go of that.

01:16:56.100 --> 01:16:57.500
But that's a Bible saying.

01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:00.760
Now, I don't think many people know it is, but it is.

01:17:00.760 --> 01:17:02.760
Hey, it's better to give than receive.

01:17:03.400 --> 01:17:06.680
I think every Christmas you have to tell, especially your adolescence or whatnot,

01:17:06.680 --> 01:17:09.640
where you're like, okay, no, now you give presents.

01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:11.160
I know, it sucks.

01:17:11.160 --> 01:17:14.760
That year where you're like, man, the year before I got all these toys and all this,

01:17:14.760 --> 01:17:16.120
and now you're getting socks.

01:17:17.080 --> 01:17:21.000
But you're not quite happy about that yet, because 20 more years you'd be like,

01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:23.480
dude, fresh socks, that's awesome.

01:17:24.280 --> 01:17:26.280
It's kind of like when you start liking ginger ale.

01:17:26.280 --> 01:17:30.120
I realized as I got older, I dream about that as a kid.

01:17:30.120 --> 01:17:31.240
I thought that was a punishment.

01:17:31.400 --> 01:17:36.280
Maybe it's different for you, but here's the thing is, to give is better than receive.

01:17:36.280 --> 01:17:39.800
I mean, that comes from multiple places in the Bible, but Acts 20 verse 35 will tell

01:17:39.800 --> 01:17:40.800
you that.

01:17:40.800 --> 01:17:43.200
But here's the thing is, that is the foundation to Christian idea.

01:17:43.200 --> 01:17:47.520
But let me tell you this, how many charities say that?

01:17:47.520 --> 01:17:50.680
Charities that nothing to do with Christ, you know, they're even government funded

01:17:50.680 --> 01:17:51.680
or all that.

01:17:51.680 --> 01:17:56.880
Like, hey, why should you, why should you donate to, I can't think of the one, United

01:17:56.880 --> 01:17:57.500
way.

01:17:57.600 --> 01:18:00.800
United Way will use that all the time in their material.

01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:02.640
Hey, it is better to give than receive.

01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:04.680
You'll feel better about yourself if you donate.

01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:07.120
And this isn't against any charity you may perturbed,

01:18:07.120 --> 01:18:10.160
but I'm just saying, do you realize that that's a Bible idea

01:18:10.160 --> 01:18:11.880
that's in our society?

01:18:11.880 --> 01:18:15.040
It comes through that whether or not they sway to Christ,

01:18:15.040 --> 01:18:17.520
that is where it comes from.

01:18:17.520 --> 01:18:20.400
How about he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword?

01:18:21.100 --> 01:18:26.300
Man, you'll hear a lot of, you know, when the action movie's trying to give a little bit of drama,

01:18:26.300 --> 01:18:32.100
be like, man, he's gonna die. It's like, those that live by the sword are gonna die by it, brother.

01:18:32.100 --> 01:18:37.300
You know, like, but that's a, I mean, you know that's a direct quote from the Bible, right?

01:18:37.500 --> 01:18:39.020
This is what Jesus is telling him.

01:18:39.020 --> 01:18:44.120
I'm not saying the way our culture says this is the way the Bible is trying to emphasize,

01:18:44.120 --> 01:18:48.700
but understand these sayings that go through our culture are Bible.

01:18:48.700 --> 01:18:52.840
They are literally the Bible being spoken and people don't even realize it because when

01:18:52.840 --> 01:18:57.580
you do a saying it's not just the words, it's the sayings that come from the Bible.

01:18:57.580 --> 01:19:01.540
They're words put together that they literally form from the Bible.

01:19:01.540 --> 01:19:02.540
All right?

01:19:02.540 --> 01:19:04.180
How about truth hurts?

01:19:05.000 --> 01:19:11.200
This is more of an idea, but here's the thing is Proverbs 27 verse 6 Proverbs 20 verse 30.

01:19:11.200 --> 01:19:16.000
Hey, I think it comes basically from faithful wounds of a friend.

01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:19.900
We've all heard that, but here's the thing is I think it got simplified.

01:19:19.900 --> 01:19:21.400
Hey, truth hurts, but let me tell you this.

01:19:21.400 --> 01:19:24.900
Usually when they say truth hurts, it's not a bad thing for you to know.

01:19:24.900 --> 01:19:28.600
It's something you stop trying to see or believe.

01:19:28.600 --> 01:19:30.400
Like a lot of times people are like...

01:19:30.600 --> 01:19:32.800
You know, kind of worldly in high school, they'd be like,

01:19:32.800 --> 01:19:36.560
hey, bro, shade into you.

01:19:36.560 --> 01:19:41.760
Oh, cut to the heart, which is also another Bible saying.

01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:44.440
Cut to the heart is in multiple places of the Bible.

01:19:44.440 --> 01:19:46.560
But let me tell you this, truth hurts.

01:19:46.560 --> 01:19:47.400
That's a real thing.

01:19:47.400 --> 01:19:49.720
But here's the thing is, the truth will set you free.

01:19:50.700 --> 01:19:54.300
Like these are all Bible wisdoms that we say through our life, but here's the thing

01:19:54.540 --> 01:19:59.820
Truth hurts is one of those things is because a lot of times we get in our pride or sadness or we don't know and it

01:19:59.820 --> 01:20:02.540
Could be in all parts like hey, let me tell you this

01:20:03.060 --> 01:20:05.060
he's not here right now, but

01:20:06.020 --> 01:20:07.500
Alejandro okay

01:20:07.500 --> 01:20:12.860
He thought he was putting oil in the car. He took five and a half quarts and poured into the car that already had oil

01:20:13.620 --> 01:20:15.620
Blew up an engine

01:20:16.100 --> 01:20:17.500
When I told him

01:20:17.700 --> 01:20:21.620
your five-minute lapse of thought cost you six thousand dollars.

01:20:21.620 --> 01:20:25.460
Truth hurts, but it's real. Can't be undone.

01:20:27.200 --> 01:20:32.100
But what it is, is it's just, like I said, these are words and they come from the Bible,

01:20:32.100 --> 01:20:36.700
but the thing is, I think the way we express ourselves, we don't even know when we're

01:20:36.700 --> 01:20:40.860
actually taking Bible words to just describe the world, what we're going through, and what's

01:20:40.860 --> 01:20:41.860
going on.

01:20:41.860 --> 01:20:44.320
How about a house divided against itself cannot stand?

01:20:44.320 --> 01:20:49.060
I bet most kids that went through my age, like I'm a little older, public schools, you

01:20:49.060 --> 01:20:51.100
still have to kind of read, I guess, I don't know.

01:20:51.100 --> 01:20:53.420
But that was, I thought that came from Abraham Lincoln.

01:20:53.800 --> 01:20:56.240
Because that's one of his most famous speeches.

01:20:56.240 --> 01:20:58.840
It was a house that cannot stand against itself.

01:20:58.840 --> 01:21:02.960
Actually, a lot of Civil War books are named that.

01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:05.640
And I go, oh wait, I actually know it's a little bit older.

01:21:05.640 --> 01:21:07.920
It's literally directly from Jesus.

01:21:08.400 --> 01:21:12.960
And I'll grant you, he was talking about like, you think I'm of Satan?

01:21:12.960 --> 01:21:14.640
You know, a house of I cannot stand with itself.

01:21:14.640 --> 01:21:16.760
But actually, culturally, we use that.

01:21:16.760 --> 01:21:21.840
That's obviously what Abraham Lincoln was referring to when he wrote the speech.

01:21:21.840 --> 01:21:25.200
And like I said, maybe that's dated because I don't know if anyone even learns history

01:21:25.200 --> 01:21:26.200
anymore.

01:21:26.200 --> 01:21:27.200
I don't know.

01:21:27.200 --> 01:21:31.520
But that's one of Abraham Lincoln's most famous speeches up there with Gettysburg during the

01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:33.880
Civil War.

01:21:33.880 --> 01:21:35.400
Here's a symbol and go the extra mile.

01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:38.240
Don't know if I've had a job where I wasn't told that

01:21:39.160 --> 01:21:43.000
Go the extra mile why nobody likes a minimal worker

01:21:43.040 --> 01:21:48.680
It's good like now grant you maybe now if you can at least check those boxes are really happy because that seems like you're going

01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:49.800
to extra mile

01:21:49.800 --> 01:21:51.800
But the idea is this is like hey

01:21:52.440 --> 01:21:57.880
Yes, your job is to do this this and this but you know it'd be really helpful if once a week you can sweep up

01:21:57.880 --> 01:22:00.280
As well, maybe that's not on your list of things to do

01:22:00.900 --> 01:22:04.500
But in work they say, go the extra mile. Let me tell you, a lot of my bosses,

01:22:04.500 --> 01:22:08.420
I don't think they've ever stepped a foot in a church, but yet they're quoting the Bible,

01:22:08.420 --> 01:22:12.500
because that's wisdom that was passed down to us, I believe.

01:22:12.900 --> 01:22:15.460
Well done. Yeah, Matthew 541,

01:22:15.460 --> 01:22:18.660
Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

01:22:18.660 --> 01:22:22.580
Jesus is literally saying, because it's a cultural reference from Roman that, hey,

01:22:22.580 --> 01:22:26.500
they can make you march with them for a mile to carry their loads, make it easier on their soldiers,

01:22:26.500 --> 01:22:31.140
and then you can walk back. He says, why just do one, go two? Let that soldier be thankful.

01:22:32.740 --> 01:22:36.340
And if you already have it in your mind, I'm going to do more than what I've already told you.

01:22:36.340 --> 01:22:38.100
You're going to be a lot less bitter in life.

01:22:38.600 --> 01:22:42.840
But let me tell you, and that wisdom has passed down through us to sayings in this culture,

01:22:42.840 --> 01:22:47.080
because like I said, I've heard that out of a lot of people's mouths and a lot of leadership

01:22:47.080 --> 01:22:51.000
and management have been like, hey, just go the extra mile, make it easier for everyone,

01:22:51.000 --> 01:22:57.480
we'll have a better work environment. It's just something passed down. No man can serve two masters.

01:22:58.100 --> 01:23:02.100
Now we know there's more put in there, but hey, I've heard that through everything.

01:23:02.100 --> 01:23:06.580
A lot of times when they do a manager or a leadership train, they teach you this.

01:23:06.580 --> 01:23:10.260
Because guess what? Your workers are not going to be very happy if they have three bosses to

01:23:10.260 --> 01:23:15.620
report to and they don't know who's in charge of them what day. And here's the thing, it's stressful

01:23:15.620 --> 01:23:19.540
because you're like, well, they told me to do this, I have to do this. Who has the right one and what do I do?

01:23:19.700 --> 01:23:24.180
like it causes stress, causes terror. A lot of things cause problems because, hey, you can't

01:23:24.180 --> 01:23:28.420
serve two masters. Now, I'll grant you, the Bible has very refined, are you going to serve God or

01:23:28.420 --> 01:23:32.580
you're going to serve this world? That's the lesson, but I think most times when we hear in culture,

01:23:32.580 --> 01:23:37.620
it's just a simple lesson that you can't follow two people that are especially different minded.

01:23:39.380 --> 01:23:43.700
And I have dreamt that because I have like six bosses all the time and none of them agree, but...

01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:47.680
Now here's the thing is, how about claims?

01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:50.320
Now that's just kind of wisdom I think I hear throughout society.

01:23:50.320 --> 01:23:52.040
How about just claims we make?

01:23:52.040 --> 01:23:55.200
And what I mean by that is, we say things that don't make sense,

01:23:55.200 --> 01:23:57.760
but yet we all know what it means.

01:23:57.760 --> 01:23:59.840
How about move mountains?

01:23:59.840 --> 01:24:04.120
Here are some like, dude, I would move mountains for her.

01:24:04.120 --> 01:24:07.000
Dude, an excavating company ain't going to move mountains.

01:24:07.000 --> 01:24:09.480
All right, that's their whole job, but they can't do it.

01:24:09.480 --> 01:24:11.040
What are they saying?

01:24:11.040 --> 01:24:12.840
I would do the impossible for them.

01:24:12.840 --> 01:24:13.340
Hey!

01:24:13.800 --> 01:24:16.100
You know, in a lot of motivational speeches, like,

01:24:16.100 --> 01:24:18.100
Oh, we all work together, we're all one mind,

01:24:18.100 --> 01:24:20.100
we'll go out there, we'll move mountains.

01:24:20.500 --> 01:24:21.500
I've heard that.

01:24:22.400 --> 01:24:24.500
But hey, we all know that actually comes, like,

01:24:24.500 --> 01:24:27.800
Hey, if you have the faith of a mustard seed,

01:24:27.800 --> 01:24:28.800
you can move mountains.

01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:31.500
Like, they're like, literally, if you just did this in Bible,

01:24:31.500 --> 01:24:34.400
but in the world, I've heard move mountains

01:24:34.500 --> 01:24:37.400
as a saying, as a part of a phrase, people say it.

01:24:37.400 --> 01:24:39.100
And I bet most of them don't realize...

01:24:39.400 --> 01:24:44.200
They're actually very small in referencing the Bible because the imagery doesn't make sense

01:24:44.200 --> 01:24:48.760
because it's an impossible thing we're saying. But what makes sense is because pretty much a few

01:24:48.760 --> 01:24:53.160
generations ago, whether they believed it or not, they read the Bible and it's flowed through our

01:24:53.160 --> 01:24:59.320
society. How about we turn the world upside down? What's funny is we don't really like, if you think

01:24:59.320 --> 01:25:03.320
about that logically, you're like, oh, they must be rebels. It's never really mentioned that way.

01:25:03.320 --> 01:25:04.120
It's like...

01:25:04.300 --> 01:25:07.020
I fell in love and my world was just turned upside down.

01:25:07.020 --> 01:25:09.860
Like it's almost referred to as a positive,

01:25:09.860 --> 01:25:12.180
while it sounds like chaos.

01:25:12.180 --> 01:25:14.380
But I've heard, you know, hey, let's turn the world upside

01:25:14.380 --> 01:25:14.580
down.

01:25:14.580 --> 01:25:16.060
Hey, we're going to restructure.

01:25:16.060 --> 01:25:16.980
We're going to do things new.

01:25:16.980 --> 01:25:19.700
We're just going to turn everything upside down.

01:25:19.700 --> 01:25:21.940
These are words that come, but yet it comes actually

01:25:21.940 --> 01:25:23.260
from Acts 17 verse 6.

01:25:23.900 --> 01:25:29.900
you know, and when they found them not, they drew Jason of the certain brethren and the rulers of the city crying,

01:25:29.900 --> 01:25:34.400
these they have turned the world upside down and come hither also.

01:25:34.400 --> 01:25:37.900
Because here in their books of Acts, I mean, they're like, you have to understand,

01:25:37.900 --> 01:25:41.400
Judea was considered an ancient religion when the Romans were around.

01:25:41.400 --> 01:25:44.900
That's why they at least allowed it to be practiced, because they viewed it as ancient.

01:25:44.900 --> 01:25:47.900
And here they are just turning the world upside down, they're destroying it.

01:25:48.700 --> 01:25:51.200
But here's the thing, now people use it as,

01:25:51.200 --> 01:25:53.200
you turn the world upside down.

01:25:53.200 --> 01:25:57.200
Now we're not flat earthers, so it's not actually possible to turn it upside down, right?

01:25:57.200 --> 01:25:59.200
So that's what I'm saying, it's a claim.

01:25:59.200 --> 01:26:02.700
But, the metaphor is there, and why do people understand that?

01:26:02.700 --> 01:26:05.200
It's because, hey, this story has came through our system.

01:26:05.200 --> 01:26:08.200
How about this one? I thought this one was kind of cool.

01:26:08.200 --> 01:26:10.200
A little birdie told me.

01:26:10.200 --> 01:26:13.200
Has anyone ever heard of that?

01:26:13.200 --> 01:26:14.200
That's a Bible!

01:26:14.800 --> 01:26:20.640
But here's the thing is, now, grant you, my southern family, that's the way the aunt always knew stuff.

01:26:20.640 --> 01:26:24.400
Now really it's that she went door to door and talked to everyone and she got on the phone,

01:26:24.400 --> 01:26:28.640
like she knew everything, but she's not going to give up her sources. A little birdie told me.

01:26:29.840 --> 01:26:33.200
Well, if you turn to Ecclesiastes 10 if you want real quick, but hey,

01:26:33.200 --> 01:26:37.520
all they're basically saying is, I'm not going to tell you who I know, but I do know who is word.

01:26:38.200 --> 01:26:44.440
And that's just a saying I think we've all heard. I know I did, but a lot of my southern family would say these things.

01:26:44.440 --> 01:26:46.820
But in Ecclesiastes 10 verse 20 says,

01:26:46.820 --> 01:26:50.420
Curse not the king, no not to thy thought.

01:26:50.420 --> 01:26:56.420
Cursed not the rich in the bedchamber, for a bird of the air shall carry the voice,

01:26:56.420 --> 01:26:59.540
and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

01:26:59.540 --> 01:27:02.580
Now, the Bible's not telling you a literal bird.

01:27:03.300 --> 01:27:06.500
is going to take your words and repeat it.

01:27:06.500 --> 01:27:10.180
Not until China puts the drones in our air that look like birds, but...

01:27:10.180 --> 01:27:12.340
That's not what it's about.

01:27:12.340 --> 01:27:13.700
What it's saying is this.

01:27:13.700 --> 01:27:16.820
Sometimes you're just mad and you're just talking about stuff

01:27:16.820 --> 01:27:20.100
or you're maybe planning or plotting,

01:27:20.100 --> 01:27:23.140
but someone else who hears isn't of your mind.

01:27:23.140 --> 01:27:27.540
Or they just don't care, or they just like to see the world burn.

01:27:27.540 --> 01:27:28.980
All these are true.

01:27:29.400 --> 01:27:34.560
The thing is the Bible's just scared of this you do not know who's going to hear you and you do not know their

01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:38.780
Intentions and you may not always keep something that maybe you just need to blow off some steam

01:27:38.780 --> 01:27:42.260
Maybe you just need to let it go and actually by the time it comes to light

01:27:42.260 --> 01:27:48.060
Maybe you don't even care anymore, but guess what the person who was told your little thought does care

01:27:48.600 --> 01:27:53.680
So this little idea that a little birdie told me is actually a Bible.

01:27:53.680 --> 01:27:58.360
That's actually straight from the Bible and I've heard that many times throughout my life

01:27:58.360 --> 01:28:00.960
and I don't know if people know that.

01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:02.980
Man I searched high and low for that.

01:28:02.980 --> 01:28:05.400
You probably didn't, but you're saying it.

01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:10.640
And if you don't know, this is from the parable of the widow that lost a coin and she searched

01:28:10.640 --> 01:28:14.560
and then was happy when she finally found it, but you search high and low.

01:28:14.560 --> 01:28:16.040
We're saying something that's not possible.

01:28:16.040 --> 01:28:18.720
A bird coming to talk to you, turn the word upside down, it just clangs.

01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:20.440
But why do we use these metaphors?

01:28:20.440 --> 01:28:22.800
Because they're straight from the Bible.

01:28:22.800 --> 01:28:25.880
There may not be in the same context that the Bible presents them, but through our culture

01:28:25.880 --> 01:28:28.000
we've passed these down.

01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:29.000
How about this one?

01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:33.200
This one's funny because you're like, well, how are you a global person?

01:28:33.700 --> 01:28:36.100
Because don't you say the four corners of the earth?

01:28:37.820 --> 01:28:42.840
Hey, the four corners of the earth is what's mentioned in the Bible, but that does not mean it's it's a metaphor

01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:48.460
I've gone everywhere. I can't like it'd be really hard. Well, I kept going that way until I came back

01:28:48.460 --> 01:28:51.540
That doesn't sound like I traveled very far, but it's true

01:28:52.300 --> 01:28:57.940
But the four corners of the earth that's actually from Isaiah 11 and Revelation 7 like multiple times

01:28:57.940 --> 01:29:00.220
It says go through, you know the four corners of the earth

01:29:02.300 --> 01:29:07.980
How about um now this one this one's kind of funny because now it's more metaphorical at the time

01:29:07.980 --> 01:29:17.500
it was not but in mark 625 it says bring me his head on a platter now in the story that was a

01:29:17.500 --> 01:29:20.200
literal command for to bring john's head

01:29:20.200 --> 01:29:25.560
But I've actually heard people are super mad or maybe more movies like bring me his head on a platter

01:29:25.560 --> 01:29:30.840
What they mean is just destroy them fire them get rid of them burn their house down

01:29:30.840 --> 01:29:35.160
They actually don't mean bring her head on the platter. But where does that come from?

01:29:35.480 --> 01:29:40.260
It comes from John, you know being killed and having his head literally presented

01:29:40.920 --> 01:29:42.280
from a

01:29:42.280 --> 01:29:44.280
incestuous, you know desire but

01:29:45.700 --> 01:29:49.620
you know, bring heaven, and I'm just saying these are things we say that I don't think people realize

01:29:50.180 --> 01:29:55.540
these these all came from the Bible because like I said, the Bible founded our language like there was,

01:29:55.540 --> 01:30:00.260
you know, if you go to Middle English or whatnot, it's not really the same, but the Bible kind of

01:30:00.260 --> 01:30:04.020
unified what we still teach. It is still modern English even though there are changes.

01:30:06.100 --> 01:30:09.620
Now how about sayings that have just lost their biblical meaning but they came from the Bible?

01:30:10.400 --> 01:30:12.400
Well, let's take some examples of these.

01:30:12.400 --> 01:30:14.800
A man does not live by bread alone.

01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:17.600
Now you know that means, but every word of God.

01:30:17.600 --> 01:30:20.400
But that's usually dropped, because usually what people mean is,

01:30:20.400 --> 01:30:24.000
I want more money, I need more time off, I need a boat.

01:30:27.040 --> 01:30:29.600
No, that's not what the Bible is telling you,

01:30:29.600 --> 01:30:33.200
but I have heard people say this, like, man, I just can't live on bread alone.

01:30:34.000 --> 01:30:37.440
Maybe you haven't, but I have literally heard this said and used this way.

01:30:37.440 --> 01:30:42.240
It's like, well yeah, I mean, man, you just can't feed me and I'm just gonna be happy about it.

01:30:42.240 --> 01:30:48.720
The Bible is actually like, you can, but the world kind of uses this and just likes this one part.

01:30:48.720 --> 01:30:51.360
Like, I just can't live if I just say I need more.

01:30:52.500 --> 01:30:55.940
The more biblically is the word of God, but the world takes it different.

01:30:55.940 --> 01:30:57.060
And that's what I kind of mean.

01:30:57.060 --> 01:31:00.260
I do believe people say this, they have slogans about this.

01:31:00.260 --> 01:31:05.300
Unions build union membership or by having a saying like this.

01:31:05.300 --> 01:31:07.980
They just drop the last part and they don't reference the Bible.

01:31:07.980 --> 01:31:11.220
But this saying, I believe, comes from the Bible.

01:31:11.220 --> 01:31:14.020
Now, this one's kind of funny.

01:31:14.020 --> 01:31:18.340
If you like I said, Job 19, Job 19, 19 and 20.

01:31:18.900 --> 01:31:21.500
Here's one that's kind of funny to me.

01:31:21.500 --> 01:31:23.700
How about when your grandma comes up to you

01:31:23.700 --> 01:31:26.420
and sees a grandkid saying, oh, oh my, you're

01:31:26.420 --> 01:31:29.500
nothing but skin and bones?

01:31:29.500 --> 01:31:31.420
You're probably not skin and bones.

01:31:31.420 --> 01:31:33.860
But here's kind of an interesting way.

01:31:33.860 --> 01:31:37.220
In Job 19, 19, it says, all my inward friends

01:31:37.220 --> 01:31:40.220
abhor me when I am but loved and turn against thee.

01:31:40.220 --> 01:31:43.620
My bones cleave to me to my skin and to my flesh.

01:31:44.600 --> 01:31:48.360
Now, skin and bones, I do believe, just kind of pulled from this.

01:31:48.360 --> 01:31:51.720
Now, grant you, grandma doesn't really care about what's being taught here.

01:31:51.720 --> 01:31:53.400
She's just like, oh, we gotta plump you up.

01:31:54.200 --> 01:31:57.200
You need, you know, moss, more food, more.

01:31:57.200 --> 01:32:01.200
Feed you more, and then once you're sick, eat more.

01:32:01.200 --> 01:32:03.200
At least that was my grandma, that's why I look this way.

01:32:03.200 --> 01:32:05.200
That's my story, I'm sticking to it.

01:32:05.200 --> 01:32:09.200
But she was just like, no matter what, you could walk in looking like Jabba the Hutt.

01:32:09.200 --> 01:32:11.200
She's like, oh, you're just skin and bones.

01:32:11.200 --> 01:32:15.200
We got it, oh my god, they even feed you at your house?

01:32:15.800 --> 01:32:19.160
But here's the thing is, that has nothing to do with how the Bible put these words together,

01:32:19.160 --> 01:32:20.160
but that's the image.

01:32:20.160 --> 01:32:21.240
Now, here's the weird part.

01:32:21.240 --> 01:32:24.640
Look at the next half of verse 20 there.

01:32:24.640 --> 01:32:29.000
And I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:32.580
Now grant you, these things don't come together, but have you ever heard, I escape by the skin

01:32:32.580 --> 01:32:33.280
of my teeth?

01:32:34.300 --> 01:32:37.100
It's kind of weird that it means like you just barely missed it.

01:32:37.100 --> 01:32:41.260
A lot of times like war movies or action movies, obviously that's what I'm pulling from because

01:32:41.260 --> 01:32:45.740
that's what I guess watch more of, but it just means you barely made it.

01:32:46.380 --> 01:32:50.140
Now the thing is, you don't have to ask any, like it's thin, but it's a saying.

01:32:50.140 --> 01:32:51.660
And where did these words come together?

01:32:51.660 --> 01:32:55.260
It came together basically, I believe these came from the Tyndale, but whichever,

01:32:55.260 --> 01:32:57.340
you know, the King James here has it like,

01:32:57.340 --> 01:33:01.020
this is a saying we've just had in the English so long, it just means barely made it.

01:33:01.600 --> 01:33:06.100
Now, that has nothing to do with the verse just before, which grandma likes to say, and

01:33:06.100 --> 01:33:09.640
it has nothing to do with the context in there, but where did this phrase come from?

01:33:09.640 --> 01:33:10.640
The skin of my teeth.

01:33:10.640 --> 01:33:12.440
Well, it came from the Bible.

01:33:12.440 --> 01:33:15.440
I'm sure many people don't know that you're just quoting kind of a Bible idea.

01:33:15.440 --> 01:33:18.360
You barely made it.

01:33:18.360 --> 01:33:19.960
Let's get to the root of the matter.

01:33:20.500 --> 01:33:26.260
That's in Job 19 verse 28, but ye should say why persecute we him

01:33:26.500 --> 01:33:32.580
Seeing that the root of the matter is found in me now the root of the matter is generally like I I believe like

01:33:33.020 --> 01:33:38.140
Lawyers say this or like bosses or like anyone that has to like you have two people fighting

01:33:38.740 --> 01:33:41.740
And you're like, okay. Stop. Let's get to the root of the matter

01:33:42.400 --> 01:33:48.800
Where'd you go? Like, let's just get rid of the, you know, the emotional, like, let's just find what the key argument is.

01:33:49.300 --> 01:33:53.000
That's the root of the matter. That's a good idea. But where did that come from?

01:33:53.900 --> 01:33:55.400
Actually came from the Bible.

01:33:57.300 --> 01:34:03.400
Fight the good fight. Now, we all know, Bible means of faith.

01:34:04.300 --> 01:34:09.700
But how many of you heard that? Not with the of faith. And actually, that's what most...

01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:15.000
You know, I would say most anarchist and you know things like that.

01:34:15.000 --> 01:34:19.000
And it can be used in many ways like, hey, you boss get together like, let's just fight the good fight.

01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:21.000
Let's stop doing these other problems. Let's do this.

01:34:21.000 --> 01:34:27.000
Like, we don't really have the Bible context, but fight the good fight that many groups use and say that

01:34:27.000 --> 01:34:32.000
or they build support or they advocate for. They're like, we need to fight the good fight.

01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:35.000
Well, that's actually from 1 Timothy 6.12.

01:34:35.000 --> 01:34:37.000
You know, fight the good fight.

01:34:37.300 --> 01:34:42.980
of faith. They just dropped that because I say we've lost the Bible context of

01:34:42.980 --> 01:34:49.060
this saying but I believe these saying came from the Bible. I stand in awe. Now

01:34:49.060 --> 01:34:53.260
this one was kind of interesting to me and I know I did awe and awe-inspiring like a

01:34:53.260 --> 01:34:57.780
few months ago I think as a sermon but stand in awe to me is always like you

01:34:57.780 --> 01:35:01.700
man you're standing in front of like the Grand Canyon or like a huge building or

01:35:01.700 --> 01:35:03.100
something like awe.

01:35:03.500 --> 01:35:09.760
Kind of the Bible it's more like the angel have to say fear not as they're screaming and like in fear

01:35:10.900 --> 01:35:15.720
So it's like we don't really use in the same context because like I think all like Lord's let

01:35:16.060 --> 01:35:19.460
You know Psalms 4 verse 4 says stand in awe and sit not

01:35:19.780 --> 01:35:24.660
Communion with your heart upon my bed and be still I don't think in that context you're just like

01:35:26.940 --> 01:35:31.040
It's more like oh, you're like ah which I mean we

01:35:31.700 --> 01:35:35.700
It's where it came from, but it's not quite the same as I think the Bible had it.

01:35:35.700 --> 01:35:39.700
But I believe even in this sense, it's from the Bible.

01:35:39.700 --> 01:35:43.700
Here's one I thought was funny, because I was told this all the time growing up.

01:35:43.700 --> 01:35:47.700
There's a time and place for that.

01:35:47.700 --> 01:35:51.700
That's a Bible idea, just not the way the Bible says it, because I think

01:35:51.700 --> 01:35:55.700
in all Ecclesiastes, just Ecclesiastes 3, it's like the whole thing, there's a

01:35:55.700 --> 01:35:58.900
time for war, there's a time for peace, there's a time for love, there's a time for hate.

01:35:59.100 --> 01:36:02.460
But I always got it as what they're saying is,

01:36:02.460 --> 01:36:05.060
there's a time and place for that and it's not now.

01:36:05.060 --> 01:36:07.460
That's more the way my mom always said that.

01:36:07.460 --> 01:36:09.060
There's a time and place for that.

01:36:09.060 --> 01:36:10.540
It is not now.

01:36:10.540 --> 01:36:12.940
That's the way I was told it.

01:36:12.940 --> 01:36:15.500
So it's not really the way the Bible's like the general wisdom,

01:36:15.500 --> 01:36:17.940
like, hey, these times will come and all this.

01:36:17.940 --> 01:36:21.420
There's more my mom saying, yes, they'll come and it is not coming right now.

01:36:21.420 --> 01:36:23.220
Stop what you are doing.

01:36:23.220 --> 01:36:25.800
But there's a time and place.

01:36:26.100 --> 01:36:30.100
That's a Bible saying. That's a Bible logic just used in society.

01:36:30.900 --> 01:36:35.940
And in that way, it's not really not of the Bible. It's just your mom or whoever or maybe your boss

01:36:35.940 --> 01:36:40.340
be like, not right now. You're not doing that. Yeah, that's your job. But it's not right now.

01:36:40.340 --> 01:36:47.220
There's a time and place with overtime. Go do it then. But here's what I had in the army.

01:36:47.220 --> 01:36:53.620
Baptism of fire. Baptism of fire. Well, that was the first time you were under fire.

01:36:54.400 --> 01:36:57.440
whether by mortars, rockets, gunfire, or whatever else.

01:36:58.320 --> 01:37:02.080
Now I, you know, I'll grant you that's not what the Bible means by that,

01:37:02.640 --> 01:37:06.960
but that is like, at least in the army, I don't know in the other services that support the army,

01:37:07.920 --> 01:37:17.120
but um, but you know, the army, that, that was a legitimate idea that they taught. Let me tell you,

01:37:17.120 --> 01:37:21.120
they were not teaching for the Bible, but that's what they called it. Baptism of fire.

01:37:21.600 --> 01:37:28.600
That's direct quote from Matthew 3 verse 11 and Luke 3 verse 16.

01:37:28.600 --> 01:37:32.360
But that's talking about the Holy Spirit coming on to you.

01:37:32.360 --> 01:37:34.560
But military is just like,

01:37:34.560 --> 01:37:37.280
that's where you really get tried is the first time.

01:37:37.280 --> 01:37:39.280
That's the baptism of fire.

01:37:39.280 --> 01:37:41.360
This one we don't really do.

01:37:41.360 --> 01:37:43.400
It's like, dude, he's dumb as a dog.

01:37:45.000 --> 01:37:48.040
That's from Isaiah 56 10. It says,

01:37:48.040 --> 01:37:50.840
his watchmen are blind and they are ignorant.

01:37:50.840 --> 01:37:54.680
They are all dumb dogs that cannot bark,

01:37:54.680 --> 01:37:57.320
sleeping and lying down and loving to slumber.

01:37:57.320 --> 01:38:00.200
What's interesting in this is it's just kind of changed the word.

01:38:00.500 --> 01:38:02.820
Because dumb as a dog just means you're stupid.

01:38:02.820 --> 01:38:05.260
But actually dumb in the Bible means you can't talk.

01:38:05.260 --> 01:38:08.060
Now, granted, if you're a guard dog and you don't bark,

01:38:08.060 --> 01:38:10.340
you dumb as a dog.

01:38:10.340 --> 01:38:13.340
But, and that's kind of the saying, but it's just funny.

01:38:13.340 --> 01:38:16.020
I've been, you know, you're dumb as a dog.

01:38:16.020 --> 01:38:17.460
Like, that's just one of the sayings.

01:38:17.460 --> 01:38:20.460
But that's actually a direct quote of the Bible.

01:38:20.460 --> 01:38:23.060
It's just the meaning has changed, I think, through time.

01:38:24.860 --> 01:38:27.540
This one, once again, I think is kind of funny.

01:38:28.600 --> 01:38:32.440
But once again my grandparents would say this, rise and shine!

01:38:33.040 --> 01:38:38.240
You know that usually means you're still awake time to get up. You know open the curtains, rise and shine! Good morning!

01:38:38.240 --> 01:38:40.620
Rise and shine! Well this is

01:38:43.160 --> 01:38:49.360
I'm from Isaiah 60, which is basically the coming of the second coming of Christ or the Millennial Kingdom.

01:38:49.800 --> 01:38:52.600
Or it actually quotes rise and shine.

01:38:52.600 --> 01:38:54.720
Arise and shine for the light has come

01:38:54.720 --> 01:38:57.120
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

01:38:57.120 --> 01:38:58.800
Not the way they ever meant that.

01:38:58.800 --> 01:39:00.720
That just means get up now.

01:39:00.720 --> 01:39:02.560
Sun is up, you should be up.

01:39:02.560 --> 01:39:05.300
At least that's what my parents or grandparents thought.

01:39:05.300 --> 01:39:07.240
But rise and shine.

01:39:07.240 --> 01:39:09.520
It's actually a Bible saying.

01:39:09.520 --> 01:39:10.960
It's actually from the Bible.

01:39:12.220 --> 01:39:13.800
Eat, drink and be merry.

01:39:14.800 --> 01:39:20.480
Like I said, not really the bio context, because the next one is, for tomorrow we die.

01:39:20.480 --> 01:39:25.240
That's usually dropped off as someone's trying to be jovial in celebration, but I have heard

01:39:25.240 --> 01:39:26.240
people say this.

01:39:26.240 --> 01:39:28.640
Hey, listen, you drink and be merry, man.

01:39:28.640 --> 01:39:30.200
Why be a downer?

01:39:30.200 --> 01:39:32.240
Let's do this.

01:39:32.240 --> 01:39:34.200
Kind of missing the deeper biblical thing of...

01:39:35.000 --> 01:39:37.800
Well, that's all you did if you don't have Christ.

01:39:37.800 --> 01:39:43.600
And maybe that's why, you know, a lot of alcoholics and partiers, they do love that first part.

01:39:43.600 --> 01:39:46.000
They're like, you're right, let's do it!

01:39:46.000 --> 01:39:47.600
Jesus made the wine.

01:39:47.600 --> 01:39:49.400
Don't even go in there.

01:39:49.400 --> 01:39:50.200
But...

01:39:50.300 --> 01:39:54.380
Now here's the thing is a lot of these sayings like we've kind of taken them and made it to a modern

01:39:54.380 --> 01:39:58.540
but how about things here's the thing i think there's a lot of quotes we use that are mostly

01:39:58.540 --> 01:40:02.940
for hard times where we regret or remorse and i think the way we describe it which is i think

01:40:02.940 --> 01:40:06.380
is interesting because i think the reason why you'll see there's so many little things we say in our

01:40:06.380 --> 01:40:11.980
lives when times are hard is because when would people even turn to the bible maybe start reading

01:40:11.980 --> 01:40:15.820
like especially maybe not this generation but previous generations and where all that

01:40:15.820 --> 01:40:17.900
everyone used to have a bible in their house

01:40:18.300 --> 01:40:21.340
Probably the hard times.

01:40:21.340 --> 01:40:24.660
How about casting your pearls before swine?

01:40:24.660 --> 01:40:26.340
I've heard that in many contexts,

01:40:26.340 --> 01:40:27.700
but a lot of times it's like people

01:40:27.700 --> 01:40:29.860
think to themselves, man, it's like, man, I had this good thing

01:40:29.860 --> 01:40:32.060
and I just cast it into the dirt.

01:40:32.060 --> 01:40:34.260
I ruined what I had.

01:40:34.260 --> 01:40:36.700
Or you're judging someone else like, man, you took what you had

01:40:36.700 --> 01:40:39.140
and you threw it away for nothing.

01:40:39.140 --> 01:40:40.740
You cast your pearls before the swine.

01:40:40.740 --> 01:40:42.700
That's from Matthew 7, verse 6.

01:40:43.500 --> 01:40:47.900
This is one I mean we'll preach all day but pride comes before the fall.

01:40:47.900 --> 01:40:50.900
Most people that find themselves in a ditch, no.

01:40:50.900 --> 01:40:57.300
It is, it's hard for them to admit but hey pride comes before the fall and that's Proverbs 16 verse 18.

01:40:57.300 --> 01:41:01.100
You know, pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before the fall.

01:41:01.100 --> 01:41:04.500
Pride comes before the fall is something I have heard and people think about.

01:41:04.500 --> 01:41:10.500
Here's a saying I hear all like a lot, especially if you watch the news or movies.

01:41:10.700 --> 01:41:12.700
They fell from grace.

01:41:12.700 --> 01:41:15.700
They don't mean they fell from God's grace.

01:41:15.700 --> 01:41:18.700
Now that's the Bible saying, but how many people are like that?

01:41:18.700 --> 01:41:22.700
They're like, man, I had my favorite boss and he was doing great in the business,

01:41:22.700 --> 01:41:24.700
and then he did that one thing.

01:41:24.700 --> 01:41:28.700
Man, he just fell from grace and they fired him years later.

01:41:28.700 --> 01:41:30.700
They fell from grace.

01:41:30.700 --> 01:41:36.700
That is from Galatians 5.4, but that little saying, that's 100% from the Bible.

01:41:38.400 --> 01:41:43.600
This one is another one I hear all the time where people remorse and all this or they're like,

01:41:43.600 --> 01:41:45.600
dude, just give up, just give up.

01:41:45.600 --> 01:41:47.600
The writing is on the wall.

01:41:47.600 --> 01:41:49.600
Has anyone ever heard of that?

01:41:49.600 --> 01:41:50.600
Oh yeah.

01:41:50.600 --> 01:41:55.600
Oh yeah, usually like you're thinking yourself, like maybe you're just beating yourself down

01:41:55.600 --> 01:41:59.600
or you're trying to like, I won't say encourage, but you're trying to get someone to realize,

01:41:59.600 --> 01:42:00.600
you know, truth will set you free, man.

01:42:00.600 --> 01:42:02.600
Like, dude, the writing is on the wall.

01:42:02.600 --> 01:42:04.600
You're not going to get that position.

01:42:04.900 --> 01:42:06.260
The writing's on the wall, man.

01:42:06.260 --> 01:42:07.100
I'm sorry.

01:42:07.100 --> 01:42:09.220
You know, they're gonna move on.

01:42:09.220 --> 01:42:11.420
Hey, the writing's on the wall, man.

01:42:11.420 --> 01:42:15.060
You're not, it's not gonna happen.

01:42:15.060 --> 01:42:17.860
The thing is, that is actually from Daniel chapter five,

01:42:17.860 --> 01:42:20.540
where the fingers come about and actually write a message

01:42:20.540 --> 01:42:22.300
for the king on the wall.

01:42:22.300 --> 01:42:25.380
And if you know that story, it's not a good story.

01:42:25.380 --> 01:42:26.740
Like I said, for the sake of time,

01:42:26.740 --> 01:42:28.060
I'm not going too deep into any of these,

01:42:28.060 --> 01:42:29.800
but that is where it comes from.

01:42:29.900 --> 01:42:32.140
There's a message on the wall and guess what?

01:42:32.140 --> 01:42:34.780
Because it was the Lord's message, it's going to come to pass.

01:42:34.780 --> 01:42:36.460
But people, the way we use it is this.

01:42:36.460 --> 01:42:39.740
It's like, hey man, sometimes you just got to realize the writing is on the wall.

01:42:41.180 --> 01:42:42.220
You're not going to change it.

01:42:43.260 --> 01:42:44.780
You have to accept it.

01:42:44.780 --> 01:42:45.580
Why?

01:42:45.580 --> 01:42:46.940
It's written, man.

01:42:46.940 --> 01:42:47.900
It's done.

01:42:48.300 --> 01:42:53.420
You come to accept it. Like I said, that could be a hard thing, but I believe that's a saying. I mean I hear

01:42:53.980 --> 01:42:58.740
Very far people that would probably never read the Bible and wouldn't even sit through like, you know

01:42:58.940 --> 01:43:02.300
Veggie tales or something like all right, like we're like they're far away

01:43:03.300 --> 01:43:08.520
But I've heard that used because you're usually telling like at work. I at least I hear it a lot like hey, man

01:43:08.520 --> 01:43:11.580
I know you you're the best person. You're the most trained

01:43:12.660 --> 01:43:14.780
Riding is on the wall, man. You're not gonna get it

01:43:15.400 --> 01:43:17.400
You just got to deal with it.

01:43:17.400 --> 01:43:19.400
And that's straight from the Bible.

01:43:23.600 --> 01:43:26.840
Those who aren't with me are against me.

01:43:26.840 --> 01:43:29.440
A lot of people think like, oh, that's so bad morality.

01:43:29.440 --> 01:43:32.520
And it's like, that's a quote from Jesus.

01:43:32.520 --> 01:43:35.000
That's Matthew 12 verse 30.

01:43:35.000 --> 01:43:37.480
And it's just kind of that idea now, once again,

01:43:37.480 --> 01:43:39.480
going to action movies and all this.

01:43:39.480 --> 01:43:41.720
It's usually someone who's bitter that they failed.

01:43:41.720 --> 01:43:43.320
And they're like, man, you weren't with me.

01:43:43.320 --> 01:43:44.480
You're against me.

01:43:44.480 --> 01:43:46.200
Because no one likes bystanders, right?

01:43:47.300 --> 01:43:50.980
But that's something I hear a lot, like you're with me or you're against me.

01:43:50.980 --> 01:43:55.140
Like it's pretty much like the ultimatum if you're reading books or all that.

01:43:55.140 --> 01:43:59.620
Like there comes a point of drama, a point of decision, and that's usually the ultimatum.

01:43:59.620 --> 01:44:02.900
Because at that point you can't go be like, I'm going to go get lunch.

01:44:02.900 --> 01:44:05.300
Like, are you with me or against me?

01:44:05.300 --> 01:44:08.020
Are we charging up the hill or are we retreating?

01:44:08.020 --> 01:44:08.900
What are we doing here?

01:44:09.700 --> 01:44:11.300
But that's a saying I hear all the time.

01:44:12.200 --> 01:44:16.120
Here's one that's very interesting and I do know it's kind of funny to me because

01:44:16.120 --> 01:44:19.880
personally I don't think I realized this was from the Bible and you're probably

01:44:19.880 --> 01:44:24.200
gonna laugh like how did you not know this from the Bible but in math that's

01:44:24.200 --> 01:44:26.400
my it's my cross the bear

01:44:28.400 --> 01:44:31.900
That's a clear picture of Christ having to carry his cross.

01:44:31.900 --> 01:44:37.600
Now, granted, you could say anyone who was crucified had to do that, but, you know, in Matthew 16, 24,

01:44:37.600 --> 01:44:42.400
then Jesus said unto the disciples, If any man come after me, let him to die himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

01:44:42.400 --> 01:44:48.400
Now, granted, the way most people say it, once again, at work, what not, or you're having a hard spell,

01:44:48.400 --> 01:44:51.900
you're interested in like, that's just my cross, I got to bear.

01:44:51.900 --> 01:44:52.900
You know, like...

01:44:53.200 --> 01:44:57.760
Kid's sick and I got to pull forward and figure this out. It's my cross man. I got a bear

01:44:58.260 --> 01:45:02.560
Like I've heard this out of people that would never look to the cross for salvation

01:45:02.560 --> 01:45:07.920
But yet they'll use the imagery to explain how they're feeling or what they have to do or how they get through

01:45:10.400 --> 01:45:12.400
Nothing new under the sun.

01:45:13.800 --> 01:45:17.200
Now this is usually the way people like kind of slap the night is that they're not

01:45:17.200 --> 01:45:21.600
it is quoting the um Ecclesiastes 1 basically like the whole thing

01:45:21.600 --> 01:45:25.200
but Ecclesiastes 1 verse 9 it says

01:45:25.200 --> 01:45:28.800
that thing that hath been and that shall be which is done

01:45:28.800 --> 01:45:32.200
that which shall be done and there is no new thing under the sun

01:45:32.200 --> 01:45:36.300
and usually what people are saying is like they hear like a story of like corruption

01:45:36.300 --> 01:45:37.900
in the government

01:45:39.400 --> 01:45:46.280
And most people will be like, yeah, there's nothing new under the sun, man.

01:45:46.280 --> 01:45:52.640
Like, did you hear that there was sexual immorality in Hollywood?

01:45:52.640 --> 01:45:57.520
You're like, yeah, there's nothing new under the sun.

01:45:57.520 --> 01:46:01.880
Like, and that's kind of the way people use it, like, yeah, duh.

01:46:01.880 --> 01:46:02.880
Like are you a child?

01:46:02.880 --> 01:46:04.560
Did you just learn this out?

01:46:05.000 --> 01:46:09.560
But I've heard that said, but once again, Christian and non-Christian alike, it's just

01:46:09.560 --> 01:46:15.000
the way the English language is used to describe things, not as directly from the Bible.

01:46:15.000 --> 01:46:17.160
Here's an uh, it's just a sign of the times.

01:46:18.200 --> 01:46:21.160
just the sign of times. That's Matthew 6 verse 3.

01:46:21.160 --> 01:46:25.240
And in the morning, if the foul of the weather be the day and the sky is red and lowing,

01:46:25.240 --> 01:46:30.440
oh ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky, but ye can ye not discern the signs of the

01:46:30.440 --> 01:46:34.520
times? Now this is Jesus telling them basically what was about to come, but the way people say

01:46:34.520 --> 01:46:39.400
it now is almost like the same thing. There's nothing new in the sun, but like, you know,

01:46:39.400 --> 01:46:44.200
like, oh man, did you hear like a whole nother car factory got shut down and moved to India?

01:46:45.100 --> 01:46:46.860
Signs of the times, man.

01:46:47.980 --> 01:46:51.060
Man, did you hear like, everyone got fired for AI?

01:46:51.060 --> 01:46:52.900
Signs of the time, man.

01:46:52.900 --> 01:46:55.180
Like, I hear that saying quite a bit,

01:46:55.180 --> 01:46:56.140
and it's usually, like I said,

01:46:56.140 --> 01:46:57.300
these are kind of remorseful.

01:46:57.300 --> 01:46:59.700
It's like, basically like the overarching theme

01:46:59.700 --> 01:47:01.300
that seems like people use from the Bible,

01:47:01.300 --> 01:47:03.020
like through our culture, it's like,

01:47:04.340 --> 01:47:05.180
it is what it is, man.

01:47:05.180 --> 01:47:06.000
What are you gonna do?

01:47:06.000 --> 01:47:07.220
The writing's on the wall.

01:47:07.220 --> 01:47:08.900
Signs of the time, man.

01:47:08.900 --> 01:47:10.600
Nothing new, you just gotta deal with it.

01:47:12.800 --> 01:47:14.800
How about fall by the wayside?

01:47:14.800 --> 01:47:18.800
I was surprised when I was like, oh yeah, that's actually from the Bible,

01:47:18.800 --> 01:47:21.800
because the way I've always heard it is like, old friends.

01:47:21.800 --> 01:47:23.800
Like, hey man, whatever happened to Johnny?

01:47:23.800 --> 01:47:25.800
You're like, he fell by the wayside.

01:47:26.600 --> 01:47:29.640
What's that mean? He just stopped hanging out. He stopped doing stuff.

01:47:30.440 --> 01:47:34.360
Like, oh man, what happened to this guy? He's like, he fell by the wayside.

01:47:34.360 --> 01:47:37.880
Now the thing is, that's actually from Matthew 13 verse 14.

01:47:37.880 --> 01:47:42.680
And when the sower sowed seeds, they fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up.

01:47:43.480 --> 01:47:47.960
And obviously this is about the word of God saying root, but the way I've always kind of heard it is

01:47:47.960 --> 01:47:52.680
like friendship break away. And it's not usually like you had a fight and they went away. It's just,

01:47:52.680 --> 01:47:53.180
Yeah.

01:47:53.800 --> 01:47:58.000
You got kids, you got that, and you just stop texting.

01:47:58.000 --> 01:48:00.000
They fell by the wayside.

01:48:00.000 --> 01:48:03.280
That's from the Bible.

01:48:03.280 --> 01:48:04.520
I played the fool.

01:48:07.880 --> 01:48:10.880
It's kind of like, at least it's remorse where usually people

01:48:10.880 --> 01:48:13.640
have figured out, oh, I was wrong in this situation.

01:48:14.400 --> 01:48:19.900
Which is actually 100% biblical, because the way this came is 1 Samuel 26 verse 21.

01:48:19.900 --> 01:48:21.780
And this is Saul saying that.

01:48:21.780 --> 01:48:23.740
Saul then said,

01:48:23.740 --> 01:48:25.740
Saul, I have sinned, return my son David,

01:48:25.740 --> 01:48:27.780
for I will no more do thee harm,

01:48:27.780 --> 01:48:30.380
because thou soul was precious in thy eyes in the day.

01:48:30.380 --> 01:48:32.540
Behold, I have played the fool,

01:48:32.540 --> 01:48:34.860
and I have erred exceedingly.

01:48:34.860 --> 01:48:36.860
But I have heard people say,

01:48:36.860 --> 01:48:38.900
man, I'm sorry, I played the fool.

01:48:38.900 --> 01:48:41.400
You just were, you were just wrong.

01:48:42.300 --> 01:48:44.700
That's the way it's still used.

01:48:44.700 --> 01:48:47.580
The 11th hour, that's actually from the wages,

01:48:47.580 --> 01:48:50.900
but usually I hear this in nuclear dramas,

01:48:50.900 --> 01:48:52.540
like we're in the 11th hour.

01:48:52.540 --> 01:48:54.060
We're at the near end.

01:48:54.060 --> 01:48:55.420
Now in the Bible, it's just like you've

01:48:55.420 --> 01:48:57.380
got people sitting around not doing anything all day.

01:48:57.380 --> 01:48:58.420
It's like dude, it's the 11th hour.

01:48:58.420 --> 01:48:59.220
Get out of my field.

01:48:59.220 --> 01:49:00.140
Do work.

01:49:00.140 --> 01:49:03.020
But the way I've always heard it, it's like dude,

01:49:03.020 --> 01:49:04.380
we're at near the end.

01:49:04.380 --> 01:49:06.100
We got to go.

01:49:06.100 --> 01:49:07.380
Dude, it's like the 11th hour.

01:49:07.380 --> 01:49:09.380
We got to finish this job now.

01:49:10.100 --> 01:49:12.100
It's like always intense and crazy.

01:49:13.740 --> 01:49:15.260
No rest for the wicked.

01:49:16.420 --> 01:49:17.820
Money don't grow on trees.

01:49:17.820 --> 01:49:19.140
No, that's not part of the Bible.

01:49:19.140 --> 01:49:22.100
But I'm showing my age there.

01:49:22.100 --> 01:49:24.420
But it's like there's no rest for the wicked.

01:49:24.420 --> 01:49:26.220
That's actually Isaiah 57.

01:49:27.180 --> 01:49:30.660
You know, but the wicked are like the troubled seas when they cannot rest.

01:49:30.780 --> 01:49:34.580
Whosoever waters, there is no peace, saith the Lord to the wicked.

01:49:35.100 --> 01:49:36.660
There's no rest for the wicked.

01:49:36.660 --> 01:49:37.740
A lot of people understand this.

01:49:37.740 --> 01:49:41.660
They usually say this because like, man, you see someone that's just like dragging their

01:49:41.660 --> 01:49:42.660
life out.

01:49:42.660 --> 01:49:44.460
They're just going through a hard time.

01:49:44.460 --> 01:49:48.260
They're just, but a lot of times they're like, I'm so tired.

01:49:48.260 --> 01:49:52.460
You're like, yeah, you're kind of making your life stressful or whatnot.

01:49:52.460 --> 01:49:53.460
But it's just the same.

01:49:53.460 --> 01:49:56.180
And like I said, I just sung a song like there's no rest for the wicked.

01:49:56.180 --> 01:49:57.180
That's very common.

01:49:57.180 --> 01:49:58.180
There's also the other one.

01:49:58.180 --> 01:49:59.180
There's no rest for the weary.

01:49:59.180 --> 01:49:59.500
Thank you.

01:49:59.800 --> 01:50:02.200
And that's from Lamentations 5 verse 5.

01:50:02.200 --> 01:50:06.120
Oh, our necks are under the persecution, we labor and have no rest.

01:50:06.120 --> 01:50:07.620
Which is not, is that true?

01:50:07.620 --> 01:50:11.620
Like man, you're going through a hard time, like work's just stacking on you, your home's

01:50:11.620 --> 01:50:16.780
stacking on you, your kids are sick, you got other things, like dude, I just need to figure

01:50:16.780 --> 01:50:19.160
out one part, but all I gotta do is keep working.

01:50:19.160 --> 01:50:21.340
Yeah, there's no rest for the weary.

01:50:21.340 --> 01:50:23.800
Once you get tired, somehow it's harder to get rested.

01:50:23.800 --> 01:50:25.220
Like there's just more.

01:50:25.500 --> 01:50:30.380
But, and I've heard both of these sayings my entire life, and I did not ever connect

01:50:30.380 --> 01:50:32.820
to, like, oh, I'm actually quoting the Bible.

01:50:32.820 --> 01:50:36.540
But these are, no rest for the wicked, no rest for the weary, different parts of the

01:50:36.540 --> 01:50:38.060
Bible there.

01:50:38.060 --> 01:50:41.620
I'm at my wits end about this sermon, Paul.

01:50:41.620 --> 01:50:43.380
Like move on.

01:50:43.380 --> 01:50:44.380
But the wits end.

01:50:44.380 --> 01:50:46.620
That's Psalms 107 verse 27.

01:50:47.300 --> 01:50:52.300
They reel and to and fro and they stagger like drunkard men and are at their wits end.

01:50:52.300 --> 01:50:55.300
It's just like you just can't take anymore.

01:50:55.300 --> 01:50:59.300
You've had no rest for the weary for so long and you just cannot.

01:50:59.300 --> 01:51:04.300
One more thing and I'm going to crack because I am at my wits end.

01:51:04.300 --> 01:51:06.300
But that's a that's a Bible quote.

01:51:07.600 --> 01:51:11.920
I think I already said this cut to the heart you know that like and then here's

01:51:11.920 --> 01:51:14.440
the thing is are you literally cut to the heart because you're probably not

01:51:14.440 --> 01:51:18.480
talking to me right now right no it's a metaphor that just means stuff to us

01:51:18.480 --> 01:51:22.160
because it's like everyone knows what you mean like you've been stabbed the

01:51:22.160 --> 01:51:26.680
deepest emotion that you can you know whether from relationship a loss you

01:51:26.680 --> 01:51:32.520
know whatever it is it's like you're cut to the heart here's what I actually said

01:51:32.520 --> 01:51:34.600
for years and never knew it was from the Bible

01:51:34.900 --> 01:51:36.900
That's just a drop in a bucket.

01:51:38.180 --> 01:51:40.180
Just a drop in a bucket, man.

01:51:40.180 --> 01:51:41.940
And that's from Isaiah 40 verse 15.

01:51:41.940 --> 01:51:45.300
Behold, the nations are as a drop of the bucket,

01:51:45.300 --> 01:51:47.220
are counted as small as dust in the balance.

01:51:47.220 --> 01:51:50.740
Behold, he had taken up the isles as the very little thing.

01:51:50.740 --> 01:51:52.340
Because let me tell you this, like some people are like,

01:51:52.340 --> 01:51:55.540
man, I did this, this, and this for the corporation.

01:51:56.100 --> 01:51:57.220
Yeah, drop in a bucket, man.

01:51:57.220 --> 01:51:57.720
They don't care.

01:51:58.580 --> 01:52:00.100
Thanks for doing it, but like...

01:52:00.400 --> 01:52:04.300
Don't care sometimes we feel our lives are this way like I said, there's a lot of things

01:52:04.300 --> 01:52:09.040
I think people use for remorse or understand this world, but it's like dude like I get what you did

01:52:09.040 --> 01:52:11.040
You did stuff, but in the end

01:52:11.200 --> 01:52:13.200
It's a drop in a bucket, man

01:52:16.000 --> 01:52:18.000
The powers that be.

01:52:18.000 --> 01:52:22.000
The powers that be. Isn't that like one of the ways you try to comfort someone else?

01:52:22.000 --> 01:52:26.000
Dude, why is this happening? Why are we losing our weekend? Why are we doing...

01:52:26.000 --> 01:52:28.000
The powers that be, man.

01:52:28.000 --> 01:52:30.000
Why are our taxes going up?

01:52:30.000 --> 01:52:31.800
The powers that be.

01:52:31.900 --> 01:52:35.420
What is once again why the handwritings on the wall? There's nothing you can do about it.

01:52:35.980 --> 01:52:40.700
Everything you do will be dropping a bucket. Like the powers that be is from Romans 13 verse 1.

01:52:40.700 --> 01:52:44.860
Let every soul be subject to the higher powers for there is no power but God and the power that

01:52:44.860 --> 01:52:46.200
ordained by God.

01:52:47.500 --> 01:52:50.500
Here's one, you're putting words in my mouth.

01:52:50.500 --> 01:52:56.500
Now I'm not physically doing that am I? But that is a saying, but here's where's that saying come from.

01:52:56.500 --> 01:53:02.500
Second Samuel chapter 14 verse 3,

01:53:02.500 --> 01:53:08.500
And come to the king and speak unto the manor and say, So Joab put the words in her mouth.

01:53:08.500 --> 01:53:12.500
Now I'll grant you this is kind of the story, but most people are just saying,

01:53:12.500 --> 01:53:14.500
I didn't say that.

01:53:15.000 --> 01:53:17.000
No, you're putting words in my mouth!

01:53:17.000 --> 01:53:20.200
I hear that all the time at work, but a lot of people are probably like,

01:53:20.200 --> 01:53:23.000
oh yeah, that's totally coming from the Bible.

01:53:23.000 --> 01:53:26.000
How far the mighty have fallen!

01:53:27.000 --> 01:53:37.440
Once again, just kind of like one of those sayings like in good books or like, it's like the regret of the lost kingdom, all that like, oh, how the mighty have fallen, but how far they have fallen.

01:53:37.840 --> 01:53:40.760
That's just from Second Samuel's one verse 25.

01:53:41.040 --> 01:53:43.720
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle?

01:53:43.800 --> 01:53:46.760
Same meaning, but it's the way we express ourselves in English.

01:53:49.700 --> 01:53:52.740
Here's one that people say to themselves when they know they've really messed up.

01:53:52.740 --> 01:53:54.180
Man, I made my bed in hell.

01:53:55.860 --> 01:53:56.980
I made my bed in hell.

01:53:57.540 --> 01:53:59.380
That's from Psalms 39 verse 8.

01:53:59.380 --> 01:54:00.580
It's used different because it says,

01:54:00.580 --> 01:54:02.260
I ascend up to heaven and thou art there.

01:54:02.260 --> 01:54:04.820
If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

01:54:04.820 --> 01:54:06.580
Way most people say it is like,

01:54:06.580 --> 01:54:08.820
or they say like, why that guy get fired.

01:54:08.820 --> 01:54:09.540
They did.

01:54:09.540 --> 01:54:11.220
He made his bed in hell a long time ago.

01:54:12.660 --> 01:54:13.220
What do you do?

01:54:13.860 --> 01:54:14.980
He was doing the wrong thing.

01:54:16.100 --> 01:54:17.460
It's not quite the way.

01:54:17.460 --> 01:54:21.220
Here's one that I don't think anyone could say they've gone through life and not known,

01:54:21.220 --> 01:54:22.820
but maybe you didn't know what was wrong.

01:54:22.820 --> 01:54:23.860
The Escape Goat.

01:54:24.660 --> 01:54:26.980
There are tons of movies about the escape goat.

01:54:26.980 --> 01:54:29.540
Basically everyone got together like, oh, how do we get out of this thing?

01:54:29.540 --> 01:54:32.100
Like, sacrifice that dude, send him to jail.

01:54:32.500 --> 01:54:38.900
get rid of them. But yet that is a picture shown of Jesus in Leviticus 16 verse 8 where once a year,

01:54:38.900 --> 01:54:44.420
now grant you I believe biblically it's kind of reversed. The scapegoat is the one who gets to

01:54:44.420 --> 01:54:48.980
escape and live and then it's the other one that sacrifice the way we use it generally and metaphors

01:54:48.980 --> 01:54:54.820
or whatnot is the scapegoat is the one being sacrificed for the everyone else. This is big

01:54:54.820 --> 01:55:00.340
thing and like we are not in big corporations. They have a guy who gets paid

01:55:00.500 --> 01:55:03.900
extra who he will go to jail if they go to court.

01:55:03.900 --> 01:55:07.080
Like certain corporations literally have a person who's like,

01:55:07.080 --> 01:55:09.020
if somebody has to go down, you're the one.

01:55:09.020 --> 01:55:13.380
So here's some extra money because might not happen, might will, but

01:55:13.380 --> 01:55:15.500
he's like the official scapegoat.

01:55:15.500 --> 01:55:20.180
But anyway, many stories are written about people doing that.

01:55:22.220 --> 01:55:25.620
And to follow that, here's the other one in Jeremiah and Isaiah's,

01:55:25.620 --> 01:55:27.180
like a lamb led to the slaughter.

01:55:27.180 --> 01:55:27.500
Bye.

01:55:28.300 --> 01:55:31.860
People just say that when like people are just kind of ignorant, they're being led there.

01:55:31.860 --> 01:55:33.620
They're like, oh, maybe I'm getting a promotion.

01:55:33.620 --> 01:55:36.380
They're like, dude, they're already clearing your desk out.

01:55:36.380 --> 01:55:38.620
He's like a lamb led to the slaughter.

01:55:38.620 --> 01:55:41.540
He doesn't even know what's about to come down on him.

01:55:41.540 --> 01:55:45.540
These are all things I've heard in my day-to-day life that I don't think people understand.

01:55:45.540 --> 01:55:49.600
You're using imagery of Christ in the Bible in your life and you don't even know it.

01:55:51.300 --> 01:55:55.300
You're on sinking sand, man. You better strain up. You don't even know.

01:55:55.300 --> 01:56:00.260
You better get right, because you're on sinking sand. That's from Matthew 7 verse 23,

01:56:00.260 --> 01:56:04.180
where they're, once again, you build your house on a rock now on sinking sand.

01:56:04.180 --> 01:56:07.780
But guess what? That idea that we say is from the Bible.

01:56:10.100 --> 01:56:12.740
How about the way we describe the earth? We describe the earth.

01:56:12.740 --> 01:56:16.740
Like we just go through life and like we don't know how to describe it, so we say things like,

01:56:16.740 --> 01:56:21.060
man, dude, you're like the salt of the earth. What do they mean, man? You're just common.

01:56:21.060 --> 01:56:25.460
You're like, you're the good part. You're just, you know, that stable part of the world.

01:56:25.460 --> 01:56:28.180
You go to the farmers, like man, they're just the salt of the earth.

01:56:28.180 --> 01:56:36.260
That's from Matthew 5 verse 18. Man, my kid, he's the apple of my eye. That's throughout the Bible.

01:56:37.200 --> 01:56:39.600
The apple of your eye. What a weird saying too.

01:56:39.600 --> 01:56:43.200
Like, you know it's from the Bible because who else would say that?

01:56:43.200 --> 01:56:46.200
You know, like, you don't have apples in your eyes. What's going on here?

01:56:46.200 --> 01:56:49.200
But, you know, he says that a lot about Israel.

01:56:49.200 --> 01:56:53.000
How about this way, when you describe, like, maybe you see people doing stuff,

01:56:53.000 --> 01:56:55.800
and you're like, dude, why are they, like, how are they all going off a cliff?

01:56:55.800 --> 01:56:58.200
And you're like, oh, blind leading the blind.

01:56:58.200 --> 01:57:01.700
I've heard that one my whole life.

01:57:01.900 --> 01:57:08.300
But yeah, that's Mitch and multiple times about Matthew 15, Matt, uh, and Luke 6 39.

01:57:08.300 --> 01:57:12.620
For a second time, the verse is all there. You can check on me, but I'm sure you've heard these

01:57:12.620 --> 01:57:18.140
before. How about, man, he fell on his own sword. What's that mean? It usually means he self-sacrificed

01:57:18.140 --> 01:57:23.260
himself or it's his, he caused his own downfall. A lot of times we don't mean literally, unless

01:57:23.260 --> 01:57:26.780
you're in my crappy job, but it's like, it's...

01:57:27.300 --> 01:57:33.260
It's someone's self-sacrificing, but yet that is from first Samuel 31 verse 4 where Saul actually took his own life

01:57:33.260 --> 01:57:38.280
But they're like all dude. He just fell on his own sword usually we mean it almost in a positive sense where it's like

01:57:38.740 --> 01:57:42.800
Yeah, he went in there. He took the pot like basically he made himself the escape goat

01:57:43.060 --> 01:57:46.540
He went and just fell on his own sword and basically saved the rest of us

01:57:48.480 --> 01:57:50.480
He's a man after my own heart

01:57:51.000 --> 01:57:55.640
I heard this all the time, like when I was younger, like bros get together, it's like,

01:57:55.640 --> 01:57:59.240
oh man, who's that? He's like, dude, that's the... He's after my own heart, man. That's like my

01:57:59.240 --> 01:58:06.120
brother from a different mother. You know? But a man after my own heart is from 1 Samuel 13 verse

01:58:06.120 --> 01:58:10.400
then, Acts 13 22. How about crystal clear?

01:58:11.500 --> 01:58:17.700
Crystal clear comes from Revelation 21 where basically you're just describing how clear something is but here's the thing is it's not so much that

01:58:17.700 --> 01:58:21.420
It's like when you tell someone like do you know what I just said you you're like crystal clear

01:58:22.240 --> 01:58:28.080
So if you all are what you really meant was muddy as clear as mud you're wrong because you did the opposite

01:58:28.080 --> 01:58:31.840
but crystal clear is actually mentioned in the Bible in Revelation as

01:58:33.460 --> 01:58:36.200
Clear as crystal we just kind of shorten it

01:58:37.700 --> 01:58:40.900
The twinkling of an eye or a blink of an eye.

01:58:40.900 --> 01:58:44.980
That's actually from 1 Corinthians 15 verse 51.

01:58:44.980 --> 01:58:48.100
You know, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.

01:58:48.100 --> 01:58:50.340
But people are like, oh yeah, blink of eye, I'll be done.

01:58:50.340 --> 01:58:53.220
And a twinkle of eye, I'll be done.

01:58:53.220 --> 01:58:55.060
Wolves in sheep's clothing.

01:58:55.060 --> 01:58:58.020
I don't know if there's ever been a political campaign in America

01:58:58.020 --> 01:58:59.800
that doesn't use that imagery.

01:59:00.300 --> 01:59:05.900
It's not the way, you know, the Bible uses false prophets sneaking among the sheep to

01:59:05.900 --> 01:59:07.720
tear them away as wolves.

01:59:07.720 --> 01:59:11.500
But here's the thing, it's like so many people understand this imagery, whether or not it's

01:59:11.500 --> 01:59:17.900
religious or not, like predators or bad teachers or things like this, like they use this imagery

01:59:17.900 --> 01:59:20.820
because people can just understand that immediately.

01:59:20.820 --> 01:59:26.060
But yet this is directly quoting from Bible parables.

01:59:26.060 --> 01:59:27.060
Ding, I die.

01:59:28.600 --> 01:59:31.360
That is actually from Isaiah 52.

01:59:31.360 --> 01:59:35.400
Now, what we mean by that is, hey, we're on the same page.

01:59:35.400 --> 01:59:36.400
We're reading that right away.

01:59:36.400 --> 01:59:39.600
But you think about it, if I got up and we touched,

01:59:39.600 --> 01:59:41.440
like me and Jason touched nos, that does not

01:59:41.440 --> 01:59:42.640
mean we understand each other.

01:59:42.640 --> 01:59:44.040
But what's the imagery there?

01:59:44.040 --> 01:59:47.040
Like, we see eye to eye, brother.

01:59:47.040 --> 01:59:50.640
But the way we use it from the way the story is,

01:59:50.640 --> 01:59:52.240
we are on the same page.

01:59:52.240 --> 01:59:53.780
But that's something I've heard a lot.

01:59:54.600 --> 01:59:59.340
Here's one I hope you you have somewhere in your life, but hey, it's a labor of love

02:00:00.140 --> 02:00:03.560
It's a labor of love. That's our first Thessalonians

02:00:04.320 --> 02:00:06.320
chapter 1 verse 3

02:00:06.360 --> 02:00:13.080
Alright a labor of love is just like man. It may be hard. It may be costly may take them years. Why do they keep doing it?

02:00:14.640 --> 02:00:16.300
This is labor of love

02:00:16.700 --> 02:00:20.940
Like you see a lot of guys that, you know, they have that car that probably will never

02:00:20.940 --> 02:00:24.460
be finished in their garage, but why do they keep working on it randomly?

02:00:24.460 --> 02:00:25.900
It's a labor of love.

02:00:25.900 --> 02:00:28.820
Hope your kids and your wife are a labor of love.

02:00:28.820 --> 02:00:29.820
Hope your family is.

02:00:29.820 --> 02:00:32.940
But here's the thing is, labor of love is something I've heard and I don't think most

02:00:32.940 --> 02:00:33.940
people understand.

02:00:33.940 --> 02:00:37.780
Yeah, that's directly from the Bible.

02:00:37.780 --> 02:00:38.620
Smooth as butter.

02:00:39.500 --> 02:00:43.500
Boy, that sounds southern as can be, but it was actually much older than the South.

02:00:43.500 --> 02:00:44.500
Alright?

02:00:44.500 --> 02:00:45.500
Smooth as butter.

02:00:45.500 --> 02:00:47.500
That's Psalms 55 verse 21.

02:00:47.500 --> 02:00:52.500
The word of the mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart.

02:00:52.500 --> 02:00:56.500
Basically here it's like comparing it, but a lot of times smooth as butter just means real.

02:00:56.500 --> 02:00:58.500
Like I heard that about sales people.

02:00:58.500 --> 02:01:00.500
Oh, he's smooth as butter.

02:01:00.500 --> 02:01:05.500
Like I said, maybe it's just like, you're in the South, so a lot of these were still used in the way it is.

02:01:07.300 --> 02:01:10.500
Here's one I hear in my work, obviously, all the time.

02:01:10.500 --> 02:01:13.020
It's the letter of the law.

02:01:13.020 --> 02:01:15.340
Man, do we seriously have to charge this person?

02:01:15.340 --> 02:01:17.740
Like, it's the letter of the law, man.

02:01:17.740 --> 02:01:19.400
No matter what you think is right or wrong,

02:01:19.400 --> 02:01:20.860
it's the letter of the law.

02:01:20.860 --> 02:01:24.140
And that is actually 1 Corinthians 3 verse 6.

02:01:24.140 --> 02:01:26.700
But lawyers who use that all the time.

02:01:26.700 --> 02:01:28.460
That, I mean, this is just a comment.

02:01:28.460 --> 02:01:31.420
I know in my career, recession is probably

02:01:31.420 --> 02:01:32.580
why I hear this more a lot.

02:01:32.580 --> 02:01:34.300
But I'll hear that all, letter of the law.

02:01:35.100 --> 02:01:36.100
How about this one?

02:01:36.100 --> 02:01:37.100
You are my rock.

02:01:37.100 --> 02:01:46.140
Now a lot of times maybe this is in the marriage vows or things like that or you're my rock.

02:01:46.140 --> 02:01:49.700
Now granted you in the Bible it's supposed to be Jesus, but in the way we use like a

02:01:49.700 --> 02:01:52.580
lot of people say it, it's more like who's that stable person you're on?

02:01:52.580 --> 02:01:57.260
A lot of people say like you know my parents were, like especially as an eulogy.

02:01:57.260 --> 02:02:00.220
It's like I don't know what to do now because they were the rock of my life and now they're

02:02:00.220 --> 02:02:00.740
gone.

02:02:05.200 --> 02:02:07.200
By the sweat of your brow.

02:02:07.200 --> 02:02:10.200
Like, hey man, how'd you get such a nice house?

02:02:10.200 --> 02:02:12.200
By the sweat of my brow?

02:02:12.200 --> 02:02:15.200
Man, how did you just see it a lot?

02:02:15.200 --> 02:02:16.200
By the sweat of my brow.

02:02:16.200 --> 02:02:19.200
It's just like, we use it, there's many, the Bible uses it,

02:02:19.200 --> 02:02:21.200
but the way we say it now is like, man, you just work.

02:02:21.200 --> 02:02:23.200
Just work. Just do it.

02:02:23.200 --> 02:02:25.200
By the sweat of your brow.

02:02:25.200 --> 02:02:28.200
Like, you know, that's how you earned it.

02:02:28.200 --> 02:02:31.200
How are some Bible ideas that are passed through?

02:02:31.200 --> 02:02:32.400
And I only have a few more.

02:02:33.100 --> 02:02:36.940
How about some bible ideas? Here's one I just want to put in there because it's not really

02:02:36.940 --> 02:02:42.860
quoting the bible but you know it's from the bible. Dude did you seriously rob peter to pay paul?

02:02:44.200 --> 02:02:47.480
That's not based on a bible story, but let me tell you

02:02:48.840 --> 02:02:54.840
Nonprofits have to say this a lot because what they'll do is they'll take from this grant funding to move it over here to spend

02:02:54.840 --> 02:03:00.240
Money on this part, but they're like all you're doing is you're taking money from this grant moving to this grant moving into this

02:03:00.240 --> 02:03:04.880
It's kind of like I guess AI companies right now. They're like there's no money

02:03:04.880 --> 02:03:06.760
There's no CPUs, and there's no water

02:03:06.760 --> 02:03:12.160
I guess but they're all just kind of like we're just moving all our imaginary debt around and somehow this is

02:03:12.200 --> 02:03:16.760
working but basically the way we're saying is it doesn't make any sense to

02:03:16.760 --> 02:03:19.800
literally take from this person to give to this person because it would all go

02:03:19.800 --> 02:03:25.260
to the same place I've heard this a lot in budgetary or business or whatnot where

02:03:25.260 --> 02:03:30.100
people are like that doesn't make any sense like you know don't steal from

02:03:30.100 --> 02:03:33.400
your dad to give to your mom like that's the same thing like you stole from Peter

02:03:33.400 --> 02:03:36.600
to gave to Paul but I've heard that quite a bit

02:03:37.000 --> 02:03:41.640
Here's an idea I know you all probably heard. There's campgrounds, name this. Good Samaritan.

02:03:42.840 --> 02:03:47.400
All right. What does that mean? Now, once again, I worked in nonprofits, so maybe I heard this a

02:03:47.400 --> 02:03:51.080
lot. Like, hey, we want to be the good Samaritan. What does that mean? A stranger who just does good.

02:03:51.640 --> 02:03:57.320
You know, a lot of charities, donations, they say this. We want to be like a good Samaritan.

02:03:57.320 --> 02:04:00.600
But most of them don't know the Bible, and they don't know what a Samaritan is. It's just the

02:04:00.600 --> 02:04:04.360
the same that's come down through our culture that people just understand what that is.

02:04:05.700 --> 02:04:07.700
I'm gonna wash my hands of that matter.

02:04:07.700 --> 02:04:10.700
What's your boss or someone else doing?

02:04:10.700 --> 02:04:13.600
He's like, don't bring that up to me again, I don't care.

02:04:13.900 --> 02:04:16.700
But yet, this is what Pilate did in front of all the Jews,

02:04:16.700 --> 02:04:18.660
being like, oh, you want to kill this person for no reason?

02:04:18.660 --> 02:04:21.540
Well, he brought out a bowl, washed his hands symbolically,

02:04:21.540 --> 02:04:24.100
and said, it's not of me, that's of you.

02:04:24.100 --> 02:04:26.620
But yet, this saying has passed down from us from there.

02:04:26.620 --> 02:04:29.380
Like, I'm just washing my hands of that matter, which means,

02:04:29.380 --> 02:04:30.300
I'm done.

02:04:30.300 --> 02:04:32.060
Whatever you're going to do, just do it.

02:04:32.060 --> 02:04:33.060
Don't bring it up to me.

02:04:33.060 --> 02:04:35.500
It has nothing to do with me.

02:04:35.500 --> 02:04:37.380
Here's kind of a funny one, Armageddon.

02:04:38.800 --> 02:04:44.000
Armageddon is not the end of the world, it's like a battle, biblically.

02:04:44.000 --> 02:04:46.000
But what do most people think of it as?

02:04:46.000 --> 02:04:48.000
That is the end of the world.

02:04:48.000 --> 02:04:50.600
Like the movie, it's the asteroid hitting, right?

02:04:50.600 --> 02:04:52.000
You know, like just the concept.

02:04:52.000 --> 02:04:55.900
Most people like Armageddon, like Death Rock bands or things like that.

02:04:55.900 --> 02:04:57.800
That's the end of the world.

02:04:57.800 --> 02:05:03.100
It's a part of it, like biblically, but the way we use it culturally is it's the end.

02:05:03.100 --> 02:05:04.300
It's the Armageddon.

02:05:05.800 --> 02:05:07.800
Run the race.

02:05:07.800 --> 02:05:08.800
What's that mean?

02:05:08.800 --> 02:05:10.800
Just run, do what you need to do.

02:05:10.800 --> 02:05:12.800
Like, it's your race, run it.

02:05:12.800 --> 02:05:13.800
And just do it.

02:05:13.800 --> 02:05:16.800
It means don't give up, just keep going.

02:05:16.800 --> 02:05:18.800
You know, out of many of the mothers here,

02:05:18.800 --> 02:05:21.800
I bet you've heard this, out of the mouth of babes.

02:05:21.800 --> 02:05:24.800
Especially when they start talking and all of a sudden they're like,

02:05:24.800 --> 02:05:26.800
they learn how to speak,

02:05:26.800 --> 02:05:29.800
but yet we haven't quite got what are you supposed to say.

02:05:30.700 --> 02:05:33.700
That's the out of the mouth of babes when there's just pure honesty

02:05:34.340 --> 02:05:38.580
And you're like yeah, we don't say that but you told me never to lie. I'm not lying

02:05:39.460 --> 02:05:41.260
Yes

02:05:41.260 --> 02:05:45.360
But anyway out of the mouth of babes hurt that a couple more will be here um

02:05:46.700 --> 02:05:48.700
Get your house in order

02:05:49.500 --> 02:05:51.300
Get your house in order

02:05:51.300 --> 02:05:54.460
Now I'm not so much talk about this. You know clean your room and get there

02:05:54.460 --> 02:05:58.020
But a lot of times let me do like a lot of people say this like when you get sick

02:05:58.600 --> 02:06:03.320
Like if you ever had to write a will or what not, this is still commonly used and it is directly from

02:06:03.320 --> 02:06:09.320
2 Kings verse 20 verse 1 where Hezekiah literally had to say you're old and dying, get your house in order.

02:06:10.360 --> 02:06:15.080
But this is still used like when they say get your will written or whatnot, get you know hey

02:06:15.080 --> 02:06:19.320
start planning for the end it's get your house in order, still commonly used today.

02:06:20.400 --> 02:06:23.840
Here's kind of a, it's not a direct quote, but it's an idea from the Bible.

02:06:23.840 --> 02:06:27.120
With friends like you, who needs enemies?

02:06:28.560 --> 02:06:31.760
Now, if you don't know, this is like a short telling of Job.

02:06:32.720 --> 02:06:36.480
Isn't it interesting when the devil wanted to attack Job, did he send him enemies?

02:06:37.840 --> 02:06:41.040
Did he send them like, you know, the people he hated?

02:06:41.040 --> 02:06:44.960
Did he send? Nah, he sent him his good friends to come comfort him.

02:06:44.960 --> 02:06:47.360
That was the worst thing he could figure out how to break them.

02:06:48.000 --> 02:06:49.000
But it's an idea.

02:06:49.000 --> 02:06:50.880
It's literally a biblical thing from Job.

02:06:50.880 --> 02:06:54.800
But with friends like you, who needs enemies?

02:06:54.800 --> 02:06:56.760
I have heard many such things.

02:06:56.760 --> 02:06:59.000
Miserable comforters are ye.

02:07:02.240 --> 02:07:05.080
Job's like, I mean, send my wife back.

02:07:05.080 --> 02:07:07.920
At least she was just telling me to die.

02:07:07.920 --> 02:07:10.760
You guys are here just to argue with me.

02:07:10.760 --> 02:07:11.720
I'll leave you with this.

02:07:11.720 --> 02:07:12.640
Very last one.

02:07:13.300 --> 02:07:15.300
Thought it's a tidbit. I thought was interesting

02:07:15.880 --> 02:07:20.200
Here's a Bible saying I'm sure you've heard every even the most staunch atheist say

02:07:21.360 --> 02:07:22.300
Goodbye

02:07:24.400 --> 02:07:28.400
Because it's a shorter version of God be with you.

02:07:28.400 --> 02:07:32.400
In Spanish it's adios, which means God to you.

02:07:32.400 --> 02:07:38.400
In French, I don't know how to pronounce it, but there's a whole thing, I won't waste any more time on this, but no.

02:07:38.400 --> 02:07:45.200
Goodbye was a shorter version. It took a few centuries, it shortened down to that, but it is actually short for God be with you.

02:07:46.100 --> 02:07:48.740
So, with that, goodbye everyone.

02:07:48.740 --> 02:07:50.540
Heavenly Father, thank you so much for the day.

02:07:50.540 --> 02:07:51.180
Thank you for your presence.

02:07:51.180 --> 02:07:52.820
I hope some people found this interesting.

02:07:52.820 --> 02:07:53.700
I hope it was thought.

02:07:53.700 --> 02:07:55.640
The main point was not to go too deep into this,

02:07:55.640 --> 02:07:56.860
but to remind us Lord,

02:07:56.860 --> 02:08:00.300
your word is quick and powerful and sharper to our stores that even the people that

02:08:00.300 --> 02:08:01.660
would not want to follow you,

02:08:01.660 --> 02:08:02.900
would not want to quote you,

02:08:02.900 --> 02:08:04.240
would not want to honor you.

02:08:04.240 --> 02:08:06.340
Lord, out of their own mouth,

02:08:06.340 --> 02:08:09.540
do your words from your Bible come out of them?

02:08:09.540 --> 02:08:11.300
Because how do we describe this world?

02:08:11.300 --> 02:08:12.500
How do we remorse?

02:08:12.500 --> 02:08:13.620
How do we get over?

02:08:13.620 --> 02:08:14.100
How do we

02:08:14.100 --> 02:08:19.020
set goals. Lord, we have to use your words just even to think in the concepts of our language,

02:08:19.020 --> 02:08:23.940
because the Bible is the foundation of not just our lives, it should be of our society,

02:08:23.940 --> 02:08:28.220
and it should be the way we even speak to one another. And with that, Lord, let's pray in Jesus

02:08:28.220 --> 02:08:28.620
name, Amen.

02:08:35.500 --> 02:08:40.500
Alright, if you want to go ahead and take your himnoles, we're going to turn to page number 360.

02:08:40.500 --> 02:08:44.500
Or, excuse me, page number 316.

02:08:47.200 --> 02:08:52.200
It's page number 316.

02:08:52.200 --> 02:08:54.200
I have decided to follow Jesus.

02:08:58.000 --> 02:09:17.000
I have decided to follow Jesus.

02:09:17.000 --> 02:09:20.000
No turning back.

02:09:20.000 --> 02:09:22.000
No turning back.

02:09:23.300 --> 02:09:29.140
Though none go with me, still I will follow

02:09:35.900 --> 02:09:38.140
Though none go with me

02:09:42.300 --> 02:09:48.520
No turning back No turning back

02:09:48.520 --> 02:09:54.840
The world behind me The cross before me

02:09:54.840 --> 02:10:01.200
The world behind me The cross before me

02:10:01.200 --> 02:10:07.300
The world behind me The cross before me

02:10:07.300 --> 02:10:09.900
turning back

02:10:10.400 --> 02:10:13.060
So turning back

02:10:16.100 --> 02:10:18.100
Let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer.

02:10:18.100 --> 02:10:19.600
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day, Lord.

02:10:19.600 --> 02:10:21.100
I thank you for everything you have done for us.

02:10:21.100 --> 02:10:27.300
Lord, we thank you for the English language that has so many idioms and so many sayings

02:10:27.300 --> 02:10:30.500
that are directly from the Bible that were so influenced, Lord.

02:10:30.500 --> 02:10:35.820
And Lord, we pray that the influence of the Bible can gain in our culture and that we

02:10:35.820 --> 02:10:37.300
can get many more people saved.

02:10:37.300 --> 02:10:38.500
In the name of Jesus, amen.

05:23:18.600 --> 05:23:19.440
Thank you.
