["Pomp and Circumstance"]
.
does whatever whenever with whomever that's foolish see them that you walk circumspectly not as fools
but as wise looking for 16 redeeming the time the word redeeming is a term of finance it is a
financial term it's a a term that's used for money and the idea is this that like money time is
valuable i mean the world knows that you ever heard of the term time is money why do people say
that well because the bible says redeeming the time because the days are evil because time is
valuable you say why is time valuable here's why time is finite time is finite it's limited you
don't have a lot of it on this earth now one day in eternity in heaven you'll have it forever but
on this earth time is finite and when things are finite they are valuable when things are
limited they are values valuable so the bible says redeeming the time go to colossians 4 you're there
in ethessians go past philippians into colossians colossians chapter number four colossians chapter
four look at verse five colossians 4 5 the bible says walk in wisdom toward them that are without
notice the words redeeming the time redeeming the time it's a financial term it's a valuable term
time is is valuable because of the fact that it is limited time is finite is what we need
to understand but not only is time finite but i want you to understand this go to john if you
would do me a favor keep your place there in ethessians we're going to come back to ethessians
or colossians ethessians or colossians keep your finger there we're going to come right back to it
but go to john matthew mark luke john john chapter nine not only is time finite
which makes it valuable but know this time is fleeting
time is finite and time is fleeting john 9 4 the bible says i must work notice what jesus says
here's jesus philosophy on work i must work the works of him that sent me
notice what he says while it is day the night cometh when no man can work notice what the bible says
the bible says there comes a time where you can no longer work there are times when you can work
and there are times when you cannot work and jesus says because of that because time is fleeting
he says i must work jesus says i have to work right now the works of him that sent me while
it is day while i am able to while i have the opportunity why because the night cometh when no
man can work you gotta stop asking the question i think it's interesting young people always ask
this question i don't know if you've noticed this young people love to ask a question you know what
kids and teens they here's a question they love to ask what time is it what time is it i always hear
young people i don't know i don't know why maybe because they don't have phones or i don't know
they don't have watches or they don't know how to tell the time i'm not sure but they're always
asking the question what time is it what time is it and even adults are what time is it what time
is it you know instead of asking the question what time is it you have to be asking this question
what am i doing with my time don't worry about what time it is ask yourself what am i doing with
my time when we live with the realization that we are running out of time do you realize that
in your life you are running out of time listen mother with those children you've had all those
kids and you're overwhelmed and i get that it's difficult and and it's time consuming and it's
hard but let me help you understand something you are running out of time the biggest mistake
parents make is they get this idea that they're gonna be raising their kids forever their kids
they're just gonna have their kids forever so they can go ahead and mess up and do all sorts
of stupid things and it's no big deal because these kids are gonna be with me forever but the
truth is they're not gonna be with you forever they're gonna be 18 one day or 19 one day or 21
day or 31 day they're not gonna be in your house and you're not gonna be able to go back and teach
them the things you should have taught them you're running out of time you're running out of time
time is finite time is fleeting so you know what productive people do people who get things done
they learn to manage their time why because time is the most limited and valuable resource that
you have so stop worrying about what time it is and start worrying about what you're doing with
your time go to philippines chapter three if you kept your place in ephesians it's right after
ephesians philippians or if you kept your place in colossians because i told you too late maybe
right before colossians you have philippians between ephesians and colossians you have
philippians philippians chapter three if you're going to be a productive person you must manage
your time but let me say this as well you must also manage your attention you have to manage
your attention and let me tell you something we have never lived in a time like today where
there there are just systems put in place everywhere in this world to take your time
to distract you to waste your time because of technology because of screens because of the
internet because everywhere you go there's a screen you you you you have one in your car
you've got one in your back pocket you've got seven of them in your house everywhere you turn
and they and these companies have created these statistic algorithms to make sure they can get
your attention because you clicked on one thing you liked and then they went and found all
everything that could pertain to that one thing because you watched one video about shooting
and then they found the gun you like and everything that goes with that gun and they're just constantly
putting that in front of you and putting all these shiny things in front of you get you distracted
and then you wonder why you don't get anything done let me tell you something some of you are
gonna like this but somebody needs to just quit social media and just get rid of it be done with
it how would i live i don't know how did people live like for a thousands of years
amen but then i won't know what my best friend from kindergarten was doing you don't need to
know what your best friend from kindergarten was that's weird
that's you don't need to know all that you don't need to know what your best friend's
cousin's neighbor had for lunch that doesn't matter
philippians 3 13
and look and if you don't you said why are you understand better i'm an influencer
do me a favor get off of social media for one month and see if anybody even notices
or if anybody even cares philippians 3 13 brethren here's what paul says i count not
myself to have apprehended notice what he says here's here's a productive man i labored more
abundantly than they all i've accomplished a lot i've gotten a lot done he says but this one thing
i do notice paul doesn't say these four things i dabble in he says this one thing i do forgetting
those things which are behind and reaching forth into those things which are before he says i press
toward the mark notice it's purpose it's focus he's got a mark he's got a target he's got a goal
he's got something he's trying to get done i press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling
of god in christ jesus you don't have to turn there in luke 962 the bible says and jesus said
unto them no man having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of god
the bible tells us prophetically in isaiah about the lord jesus christ
he says i set my face like a flint referring to calvary into jerusalem he was focused on what he
was supposed to do he was going to finish his word and i'm here to tell you something you say
what makes up productivity how do you make up productivity here's how you make it up you manage
your time and you manage your attention you manage there's this realm called your time
and there's this other realm called your attention and when you properly manage your time and when
you properly manage your attention where these two things overlap that's productivity
where you can take your time and take your attention and line them up and
focus them in a direction where you're actually doing things that matter
and watching cats dance on youtube doesn't matter and you think i'm joking but there's
all sorts of studies of people how much time americans waste watching animals dance on youtube
and then they wonder why they don't have a good marriage
and then they wonder why their kids hate them then they wonder why they're failing at their jobs
i'm just here to tell you something success and productivity is not something that happens
it's something that you create we talked about the meaning of productivity and we talked about
the makeup of productivity look we've got to be people who get to work let me just quickly deal
with this i wrote in my notes here as the question that haunts me this is a question that i was asked
years ago to be very honest with you i'll just tell you i've been asked this same question
two different times in my life two different times by two different people in two different
seasons of life they didn't ask the question word for word these individuals that not even
know each other but they asked the same kind of question and it's it's it's haunted me to be
honest with you because i'm afraid that people think this and it has to do with young ladies
and when i'm talking about young ladies i'm talking about young ladies who are maybe still
living at home who've graduated high school they're done with high school they're done with
their schoolwork and maybe they're not married but they're still living at home or even young
ladies who have recently gotten married so they're now living in within their marriage but they don't
have children yet i was asked this question by a mother who had a young lady who's done with high
school had not married yet and was concerned about her and i was asked this question by a young man
who's recently married and he had a wife didn't have children yet was at home
and the the question is this because the bible says in first timothy 514 i will therefore that
the younger women marry bear children guide the house give none occasion to the adversary to speak
approachfully and i believe that and i believe and i teach that the bible says that that the
god's will i will therefore for the younger women god's will is for them to marry to bear children
to guide the house i don't believe it's god's will for women to go off to work and have careers
if you disagree with that that's between you and god i'm just telling you what the bible says
and if you find yourself in this you're a single mom or something like that you find yourself in
a situation where you don't have a choice i'm not beating up on you i'm just telling you in god's
perfect will women would stay home and raise their children have children guide the house
here's the question that haunts me because both of these questions were worded in this way
my fill in the blank says pastor Jimenez that because you teach that women are not supposed
to go to work then my teenage daughter who's done with high school wants to just sleep all day and
do nothing because she's not supposed to work or my new bride pastor Jimenez wants to roll out of
bed at 11 every day and do nothing all day because you said she's not supposed to go to work and and
this question haunts me because here's the answer to the question i never said that right you say
what did you say here's what i said young ladies don't need to go to a secular job that does not
equate young ladies need to be sleeping to noon all day doing nothing and getting nothing done
all day those are two different things you say well what what do you what do you think that
young ladies you know if they're done with school they don't have children they they they they
you're saying they can't go get a secular job hey let me explain something to you there's lots of
ways you can work and not have a secular job you need some examples i've got a list you can sign up
for i mean there's all all sorts of things you can do but let me help you understand something
never ever ever has this guy said that it's appropriate for some young person who doesn't
have a job to just do nothing all day sleep all day be watching youtube videos of cats dancing
all day you didn't get that from me and if you think you got that from me then let me know
because i can find i can find a monday cleaning crew a saturday cleaning crew a sunday cleaning
crew i can find mailing lists and mailers i can find all sorts of things that will keep you busy
all day because the bible says that we're supposed to work now if you want to let your wife be lazy
you go ahead and let your wife be lazy but don't put that on me don't say i taught that or i said
that or i gave you that idea i didn't give you that idea let me tell you something we believe
in work around here when i was 18 years old i got married and i don't recommend that i'm just
telling you that's the reality of our lives we got married i got married two weeks after i graduated
high school my wife and i were 18 years old we did not have our first child so we were in 21
and i don't recommend that either i'm just telling you that's what we were taught and that's what we
were told but let me explain something to you when when we were 18 and 19 and 20 and 21 years old
before we had children my wife and i and this was a different church with different philosophies
and i understand that but our church had a bus ministry we were bus captains we ran a bus
that brought 70 people to church every week and most people try to bring children to church we
brought adults and teenagers and children to church every week 70 people we had the bus that
went the furthest away which means that we got to the church building at 6 a.m before anyone else
before anyone else before full-time staff and paid staff and the pastor we got to the church
building at 6 a.m get our bus started get our bus warmed up so we could be on the road at 6 15
with our bus driver we brought 70 people to church we came back after sunday after dropping everybody
off i would preach a sermon on the bus that i would prepare every week we'd get back around
2 30 or 3 my wife and i would go and have uh literally three dollar lunch at taco bell back
in those days when you could do that and we'd be back at the church building at 5 p.m for choir
practice we were in choir we ran a bus we led the children's ministries on wednesday night
we led the soul winning ministry i printed all the maps for the soul winning uh and and and did
all of the soul winning training my wife taught as a kindergarten teacher in the christian school
while working a part-time job at target so please let me explain something to you no i don't think
some 19 and 20 year old needs to just be sleeping all day doing nothing all day i don't believe that
i think you should be working i think everyone should be working i think we should be productive
with our lives now you let your teenage daughters do whatever you want them to do that's between
you and god i'm just telling you don't put that on me i didn't say that you said what are your
daughters going to do when they're teenagers working i don't want them going to some secular
college and getting brainwashed but that doesn't mean they can't take appropriate classes online
that doesn't mean they can't be a virtuous woman and run a business a legitimate business
from their home that's the other thing people everybody wants to oh i want to start my business
and and what that means is they sit at the computer and watch cats dance all day and they
call it a business you know my son started a fire delivery business it's a legitimate business
business they have a business license they have all the things that are needed to have this
business i mean they just got a five thousand flyer contract for five weeks because of their
advertisement i mean it's it's a legitimate so please understand this because sometimes
oh work from home and people think oh i work from home and it's like no you don't you don't do
anything get jobs make sales make money learn learn a language go soul winning you know we
have three soul winning times around here now i don't expect a mom with five kids that she's
homeschooling to show up to thursday soul winning and friday soul winning and saturday soul winning
i didn't say that if people show up for sony once a week and they're living in that season of life
praise god for them but if you're just like i have nothing to do we can find something for you to do
we're talking about the meaning of productivity what does it mean productivity has to has to do
with getting things done which requires getting work done but it doesn't have to do with being
busy all day it has to do with what you're actually getting done we talked about the
makeup of productivity what's the makeup of productivity it's managing your time and
managing your attention time is finite and time is fleeting your attention is finite and your
attention is fleeting and if you can focus these two things on a regular basis you'll get a lot done
and then number three let's talk about the motivation for productivity
the motivation for productivity go back to proverbs if you would proverbs chapter 12
it already laziness just in general pisses me off and then when people try to put it on me
like everyone you talked no i did not no i did not i did not teach that
the motivation for productivity
letter a let's talk to two groups if you're not busy and if you are what should motivate you let's
talk to two groups because here's the truth some there are some people in their lives and i'm not
i'm not saying this in a in a in a critical way or a cynical way there are some people who are
just not that busy and then there are other people who are super busy now you may not be busy and
that's not your fault it's just your season of life you know maybe you did just get married you
don't have children you just have a lot of time okay praise the lord let's not waste it maybe
you've raised your children your children are grown and out of the house you've retired and you
just find yourself having a lot of time on your hands hey praise god let's not waste it but you
know other people are super busy and i'll just be honest with you you know my wife and i we are busy
sometimes people want to act like and please don't i'm not trying to offend you and i'm not and i'm
talking to anybody specifically right now i'm not thinking about anybody but sometimes people act
like they want to be like our best friends or something and just spend all this time with us
just realize i'm a pastor and she's a pastor's wife of a growing church we have six children
that are being homeschooled we don't just have all this free time we're just bored and trying
to figure out what to do now we appreciate you invite us over for dinner we appreciate that and
we like that and i'm not i'm not talking about that i'm i'm just saying we the state in life
we're in right now we're just treading water i mean can i just be honest with you we're just
trying to keep our heads above water there's just so much to do and so much to get accomplished we
just don't have hobbies we don't have time to just waste a bunch of time now one day our kids
will be growing and out of the house and we'll have probably lots of time to do a lot of stuff
i'm just telling you different people find themselves in different seasons of life
so let's meet let me talk real quickly to those of you they're just not that busy
you just don't have a lot going on no problem but here's what should motivate you to be productive
what should motivate you is the realization that being productive is the key difference between
highly successful people and those who are not are you there in proverbs proverbs 12 24
the hand of the diligent shall bear rule look this isn't always the case this is not always
true i understand this but by and large your boss is your boss because he works harder than you
okay by and large that guy you keep criticizing oh i see the manager why did he get the promotion
why probably because he picks up the phone when you don't pick up the phone probably because he
stays late when you don't stay late probably because he shows up early when you don't show
up early probably because he's just a better worker than you are can we just be honest
being productive is the key difference between highly successful people and those who work for
them and those who are not the bible says the hand of the diligent shall bear rule don't don't
miss it but the slothful shall be under tribute the slothful will be the ones that are being the
the slothful will be the ones that are being the rule is being bore upon
go to proverbs 22 look at verse 29 proverbs 22 verse 29
proverbs 22 29 notice what the bible says see is thou a man diligent in his business that word
diligent means a hard worker effective efficient productive see is thou a man diligent in his
business notice what the bible says he shall stand before kings he shall not stand before
mean men now when the bible says he shall stand before kings it's talking about he's gonna he's
gonna stand before a certain category of individuals leaders people with authority kings
and then the bible says he shall not stand before mean men now you might if you're not aware of the
word mean the meaning of the word mean there you might think mean like someone who's not nice
that's not what the word mean there means the word mean is actually a mathematical term which
means average it is the mathematical term or the arithmetic definition of the word mean like when
somebody says the the mean number is the average number when the bible says here that he shall not
stand before mean men it says see is thou a man diligent in his business he shall stand before
kings he shall not stand before average men why because productive people are not average
because being productive is the key difference between highly successful people and those who
aren't average and those who are not go to proverbs 18 proverbs 18 look at verse 9 proverbs 18 and
verse 9 proverbs 18 and verse 9 the bible says he also that is slothful in his work
slothful means lazy he also that is slothful in his work is a brother to him that is a great
waster why don't you notice the bible says that being a sloth or lazy and being a great waster
they go hand in hand they're siblings he also that is slothful in his work is brother to him
that is a great waster you say why because lazy people waste time because lazy people waste
opportunity because lazy people waste energy obviously i don't do this because i'm a pastor
and and and i'm good at it i'm not going to walk up to people and tell them everything
sometimes i want to walk up to people and just ask them like what do you do all day
i mean you barely show up to church you don't go so when you don't serve in any area what do you
what do you do all day here's what i know slothful people are great wasters
he also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster and look i'm not
going to ask you that but you should ask yourself this question what do i do all day
so if you're not busy you're just not in that season of life you don't have a lot going on
great praise the lord i'm not mad at you i'm just telling you don't waste your opportunity
don't waste your time and your energy and your resources and your youth
and and the opportunities that god has given you
sometimes young people they you know you said why do you tell these stories about the things you
did when you were 18 years old here's why because young people walk up to me and they're like pastor
i want to be like you i want to be able to preach at the rat-hot preaching conference i want to be
able to teach this whole winning seminar i want to be able to do this and do that okay great
but you know years and years and years and years and years before i ever got up and filmed a soul
winning seminar i was training soul winners for free for nothing just for the love of soul winning
years and years and years and years before i got paid to lead a church i was showing up to church
and helping a pastor at 6 a.m on sunday mornings to 3 p.m and and and and going sunday night church
and going to wednesday night church and we were just serving even when i was in the air force
and we were at a different church my wife and i started a spanish ministry that brought in 30
and sometimes 40 people i'm just telling we we weren't just sitting around doing nothing
we were working we were laboring so don't waste your time
because part of me wonders if god has allowed us and blessed us in this season of our lives when
we're super busy because we gave him our time when we weren't busy but don't we talk to you
who are busy maybe you're like me and you're like i've got seven kids and i'm overwhelmed and i've
got look i get that you got little kids just give it give it five seven years and you know give it
10 years it'll get better if you're busy here's the motivation for you you say i'm too busy to
be productive i always think it's funny when people tell me i'm too i'm too poor to have a
budget look when you don't have a lot of money you really need a budget because you don't have
a lot of money so you need to make every dollar count well when you don't have a lot of time you
need to make every minute count but rj preached about working in in our saturday morning uh
rally and he quoted the the song give every flying minute something to keep in store
so if you're busy what's the motivation here's the motivation being productive will help you
accomplish everything you have to do in less time so that you can focus more on what you
what really matters yeah i i got too much going on okay then learn to be highly productive learn
to manage your time well manage your focus well get off of all these things that are going to
distract you and focus on the things that matter the most and get them done and you can go to bed
and you can go to bed every day realizing that i accomplished what i needed to get done
and i produce what needed to get done in maybe even less time than was expected
and i can focus on the things that matter the most psalm 90 if you would you're there in
proverbs go we're gonna go to psalms and then we'll go to james and we'll be done okay we'll
be done in five minutes psalm 90 psalm 90 if you want to find james towards the end of the
new testament you go backwards from revelation you have jude 30 second first john second first
peter james james 4 psalm 90 you learn proverbs just flip back psalm 90 in verse 9 for all our
days are passed away in thy wrath don't miss this little phrase sometimes there's these statements
that i feel like they just jump out at me we spend our years as a tale that is told
let me ask you something what story is your life telling
what will people say about you when your life is done
see we spend our years writing a story people don't realize this we spend our years writing
a story and here's what dads do they spend all their time doing selfish things and then they
wonder why their adult children are just resentful towards them or say oh my dad wasn't very good dad
hey you spent your years as a tale that is told you say what do you want people to say say about
you when you're gone well i want my kids to say that that i love them and i spend time with them
okay well then you better love them and spend time with them if that's what you want them to say
i want people to say that i love souls and i got people saved and i and i help them get baptized
and i disciple them okay then show up for soul winning and do that
but wanting that and not doing that is never going to accomplish it we spend our years as a
tale that is told the days of our years are three score years and ten here's what he's saying you're
only going to live a limited amount of time maybe to 70 and if by reason of strength maybe four
score years if you live to 80 and with modern medicine you know maybe you live live to 90 or 100
here's the point you're not going to live for 500 years you're going to die at some point
yet is there strength labor and sorrow for it is no matter how healthy you are no matter how long
you live it is soon cut off and if you're saved and we fly away who knows the power of that anger
even according to thy fear so is thy wrath verse 12 here's what he's saying he's saying because
our time is limited and because our time is it's finite and it's fleeting we don't have a lot of it
even if you live for a long time it's still going to be soon cut off there's not a lot of it so here
the psalmist says in verse 12 so teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom and remember the bible says see then that you walk circumspectly not as fools but as
wise redeeming the time because the days are even so here's a question on your deathbed
what will you regret not doing
on your deathbed what will you regret that you wanted to do you should have done what you didn't
do or what will you regret that you did too much of and you probably should have done less of it
because death is this great clarifier when we stare down death and if people stare down that
perspective comes in and the realization of what i should have done and should have done
becomes very clear but the thing is when you get that realization at death it's too late
we're soon cut off so you know what a wise person does a wise person looks ahead before death
realizing time is limited realizing time is fleeing realizing time is finite
and they say what will i do with my time
how will i focus my attention how will i manage my time
go to james chapter 4 we'll be done james 4 13 we're talking about productivity here's
a question are you a productive person so while i think okay answer this question what have you
gotten done i mean some of you should go home pull out this paper and say and and i say i'm
gonna jot down everything that i've gotten done this week did you read your bible this week no
i mean i meant to but you show up for so many well i wasn't feeling well
did you show up for church well i was tired let me let you know a little secret we're all tired
let me let you know a little secret none of us are feeling well
let me let you know a little secret nobody wants to do nobody wants to go to work
we go to work we do what we do because we want to focus on something more than just ourselves
because if you only live for yourself at the end of your life all you will have is yourself
and that's a sad way to end your life james 4 13 go to now ye that say
because because nobody says i want to be lazy nobody says that you know what they say they say
today or tomorrow i will do go into such a city and continue there a year buy and sell and get gay
you know how you know someone's lazy is when they're constantly telling you what they're
going to do don't tell me what you're going to do tell me what you're doing
they don't tell you what they're doing you know why because they're not doing anything
telling you what you're going to do so here's what james says go to now ye that say today or
tomorrow we will go into such a city and continue there a year and buy and sell and get game
he says here's the truth whereas ye know not what shall be on tomorrow
you don't know that you're going to have the health you don't know that you're going to have
the life you don't know that you're going to have the resources so you better just do it now
whereas you know not what shall be on tomorrow and then here's the question brother rj brought
up in his sermon as well for what is your life that's a great question i mean think about that
what is your life what is life is it the stuff you'll leave behind is that what life is when you
die we'll go and look at the cars and the clothes and the jewelry and say well this is their life is
that what life is i mean honestly answer the question what is life and if you ask the question
what is life you know what you'll come to inevitably it's time and energy attention
opportunities resources so we've got to ask the question what is your life
what are you doing with your life for what is your life
it is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away
i hope you make a decision to be productive
hey you homeschool moms i hope you homeschool your children but here's what i mean by that
i don't hope you run around all day like a chicken with your head cut off
busy all day but not accomplishing anything i actually teach those kids something
i hope you go to work men and i just be running from here to there shifting papers from there
to there busy all day no no get something done look at your time look at the time you have off
of work look at the days you have off of work and ask yourself what am i doing with my time
what is your life it is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes
away let's fire heads and have a word of prayer how many father lord i pray you'd help us to be
productive people
the problem with a sermon like this is that the people who are already productive
get it and the ones who aren't just goes over their head
just goes over their head
i pray you'd help us to be productive
help us to be able to get to the end of our lives like the apostle paul and say
i have finished my course with joy thank you for the opportunity thank you for the time
the strength the resources the ability help us to put it to work in the matchless name of christ
we pray amen we're gonna have brother matt come up and lead us in a final song just want to remind
you that of course this uh wednesday is our pie social so we'd love for you to come for pie
on wednesday after the service if you can bring a pie you can bake a pie or buy a pie that'd be
great of course want to encourage you to be with us next week and i want to encourage you to invite
a friend bring somebody with you and then on thursdays a turkey bowl if you guys want to sign
up there's sign-up sheets in the foyer and there's a clipboard you can sign up it's at 7
a.m on thanksgiving morning and then i want to encourage you to be back tonight at 6 p.m for the
evening service and tonight i just want i want to just let you know this i'll talk about it tonight
as well but tonight i'm preaching a very specific sermon it's probably going to be two sermons
a part one or a part two called seven biblicals seven biblical principles for recovery
and what i'm doing is i'm producing a video series that is going to be used in a recovery ministry
recovery program and i'm going to be preaching a sermon two sermons over the next couple of weeks
that's going to be recorded for that video series my wife and i over the last 12 years have helped
many people get victory over drugs and alcohol and what we've done is we've taught them these
seven biblical principles and help them apply them in their lives we haven't been 100 successful
of course no one's 100 successful we've had a lot of success and so we want to document these things
and put them in a video format that can be used in a structured ministry so i want to encourage
you to be back tonight because so first of all some of you we've helped and it'd be good for
you to be box just so you can get a refresher course some of you struggled with things like
that before you even came to our church and you got victory in different ways and praise god for
it but it'd be good for you to hear those things some of you are struggling and you're keeping it
to yourself and not telling anybody which is a mistake but it'd be good for you to hear these
things and some of you know someone who's struggling and it'd be good for you to hear
these things so just like every time whenever the word of god is open it's good for all of us
and i encourage you to be back some of you have never touched drugs or alcohol and you'll find
that these seven biblical principles will still help you so i want to encourage you to come back
tonight but i i do want to say this we're going to be recording so you'll notice that there'll be
cameras set up throughout the auditorium please help us with that make sure the kids aren't
messing with them or touching them if you can help us sit up front that'd be great i'm giving
you this warning so you put your makeup on and do whatever you got to do to help us with all of
those things but i'll be preaching on the subjects of seven biblical principles for recovery and i'd
love you to join us tonight at 6 p.m if there's anything we can do for you please let us know
we'll have brother matt come up and lead us in a final song
