1
00:00:02,100 –> 00:00:06,300
Today is Tuesday, July 6. 2010
at Shippensburg, Bible School,

2
00:00:06,900 –> 00:00:08,500
our brother.
Matt Norton will be speaking to

3
00:00:08,500 –> 00:00:10,700
us on the subject of the life of
lot.

4
00:00:11,500 –> 00:00:14,000
His class title today is
contentment.

5
00:00:22,100 –> 00:00:24,300
Thanks a lot brother.
Well young people, how are we

6
00:00:24,300 –> 00:00:28,400
all again this morning?
Any good more talkative today,

7
00:00:28,400 –> 00:00:29,800
you’re warming up to the whole
thing.

8
00:00:29,800 –> 00:00:31,700
Oh, yeah.
I thought you were just scared

9
00:00:31,700 –> 00:00:38,200
of Australians or something.
Quite again you must be well

10
00:00:38,200 –> 00:00:41,400
guys, where do we get up to with
lots life in out mad rush

11
00:00:41,400 –> 00:00:45,700
yesterday?
Do we did we separate the two,

12
00:00:45,700 –> 00:00:50,500
do they?
Okay, well, this is okay.

13
00:00:50,500 –> 00:00:53,700
I want to talk to you about
contentment but will lead into

14
00:00:53,700 –> 00:00:57,700
that briefly by saying why they
separated.

15
00:00:57,700 –> 00:01:01,600
Okay, so we know the story.
What happens is the herdsmen of

16
00:01:01,800 –> 00:01:06,100
lat and the herdsmen of Abraham,
they start having this big fight

17
00:01:06,100 –> 00:01:08,100
and there are you in the
punching each other?

18
00:01:08,100 –> 00:01:10,900
And lot comes running down.
Goes guys, guys, what are you

19
00:01:10,900 –> 00:01:15,500
fighting over?
And they said Lots herdsmen,

20
00:01:15,700 –> 00:01:19,700
because Abraham’s cattle.
Moving into our politics are

21
00:01:19,700 –> 00:01:23,100
eating our grain.
Now right there.

22
00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:42,100
What should lot have said?
I’ll drink this whole glass of

23
00:01:42,100 –> 00:01:54,900
water whole cup of water.
Amen.

24
00:01:56,100 –> 00:01:58,400
That’s right.
Hey, let’s not fight with that

25
00:01:58,400 –> 00:01:59,700
Abraham.
He’s my uncle.

26
00:01:59,800 –> 00:02:03,300
He’s my father in the truth.
He’s the reason why we have

27
00:02:03,300 –> 00:02:06,200
anything, let’s back off.
Well, I’ll go and see more sort

28
00:02:06,200 –> 00:02:08,800
this out and quietly, don’t it
look good.

29
00:02:08,800 –> 00:02:11,900
All fired up, his face went red
is elated started tingling red

30
00:02:11,900 –> 00:02:13,600
as well.
He took it right to Uncle

31
00:02:13,600 –> 00:02:15,700
Abraham and said, what’s going
on here?

32
00:02:15,900 –> 00:02:19,900
How come your sheep and your
herds are in, might might

33
00:02:19,900 –> 00:02:22,700
herdsmen told me all this and he
went off and I was just a little

34
00:02:22,700 –> 00:02:24,500
down like they tried to come Him
down.

35
00:02:24,500 –> 00:02:31,100
But lot wouldn’t calm down.
And Abraham said well, we can’t

36
00:02:31,100 –> 00:02:34,100
live together because there’s
too many things.

37
00:02:34,400 –> 00:02:36,400
What would be the logical
solution to that?

38
00:02:40,200 –> 00:02:44,400
Spread out spread out a little
bit more, will have that cell

39
00:02:44,400 –> 00:02:49,500
with you hundred head of cattle.
Wouldn’t that be as sensible so

40
00:02:49,500 –> 00:02:53,200
that at all cost Brothers could
live together?

41
00:02:53,300 –> 00:02:56,900
Because I’ve been hit with
Brethren here and I not uncle

42
00:02:57,700 –> 00:03:01,100
and nephew Superior.
Listen, son, shut up.

43
00:03:01,700 –> 00:03:04,600
It wasn’t Abraham was never
like, they never taught talk to

44
00:03:04,608 –> 00:03:08,000
him like that.
Never took the superior station.

45
00:03:09,100 –> 00:03:13,300
At all costs stay together.
We can’t separate, but lot would

46
00:03:13,300 –> 00:03:17,600
not have it.
Can anybody tell me why wouldn’t

47
00:03:17,600 –> 00:03:19,800
have it?
Why couldn’t they come to some

48
00:03:19,800 –> 00:03:22,600
arrangement?
Why would they have to separate?

49
00:03:31,400 –> 00:03:33,200
Because he was greedy and he
wanted to keep it all.

50
00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:37,300
He was discontent.
He was he was discontinued to

51
00:03:37,300 –> 00:03:41,100
Covetous, man.
That’s why he was covered us and

52
00:03:41,100 –> 00:03:44,400
we know this, I’ll tell you why.
This is what happened later when

53
00:03:44,400 –> 00:03:47,900
he goes to Sodom and he gets
taken captive and lot and

54
00:03:47,900 –> 00:03:50,700
Abraham brings him back.
It says he brought back lot and

55
00:03:50,700 –> 00:03:54,600
all his goods and it doesn’t say
all these herds and his cattle.

56
00:03:55,700 –> 00:03:57,900
Soon as he gets down to Sodom,
he sells them.

57
00:03:57,900 –> 00:04:02,600
Anyway, it was never about the
cattle in the hoods.

58
00:04:02,800 –> 00:04:05,200
It was about winning.
The argument was about, who’s

59
00:04:05,200 –> 00:04:09,100
the chosen one, he was the best.
He was the special one and lot

60
00:04:09,100 –> 00:04:13,100
wanted to be the special one you
ever seen kids and kids fight

61
00:04:13,100 –> 00:04:15,100
over something.
And they got a little bug out,

62
00:04:15,300 –> 00:04:18,300
my book, you know, who mobile
mobile, and the fighting like

63
00:04:18,300 –> 00:04:21,200
this, and a parent comes in and
smacks the kid, that’s not

64
00:04:21,200 –> 00:04:24,200
theirs and takes the things that
he’s booked.

65
00:04:25,300 –> 00:04:28,400
And it gives it to the little
kid whose book a really, really,

66
00:04:28,400 –> 00:04:31,200
and whatever he gets soon as
they get the book.

67
00:04:31,200 –> 00:04:32,600
What do they do with it or the
toy?

68
00:04:34,300 –> 00:04:35,900
That’s right.
Put it down and walk off and get

69
00:04:35,900 –> 00:04:38,900
something else.
It’s just like a badly behaved

70
00:04:38,900 –> 00:04:40,200
kid.
It’s never about the thing.

71
00:04:40,200 –> 00:04:42,200
They’re fighting over.
It’s always about something

72
00:04:42,200 –> 00:04:43,700
else.
And that was what, Lots problem

73
00:04:43,700 –> 00:04:47,200
was about covetousness.
And the saddest thing is, they

74
00:04:47,200 –> 00:04:50,200
separate and he goes down to
Sodom and what we’re going to

75
00:04:50,200 –> 00:04:52,900
see as we go through.
And I might try to remember to

76
00:04:52,900 –> 00:04:56,700
emphasize them as Abraham’s
experiences are much the same as

77
00:04:56,700 –> 00:04:59,900
the Lots experiences.
Abraham goes into, Egypt

78
00:04:59,900 –> 00:05:02,300
shouldn’t have went down there.
Lot goes into Sodom ought not to

79
00:05:02,300 –> 00:05:05,400
have gone down there.
He gets it out of Sodom, is I

80
00:05:05,400 –> 00:05:08,200
even got out of a job, only by
Divine help and intervention.

81
00:05:08,800 –> 00:05:12,500
What did a verbal Abraham and
his choices guys?

82
00:05:13,100 –> 00:05:17,300
Abraham always learns.
He always learns lat.

83
00:05:17,400 –> 00:05:20,100
On the other hand is so much
like you and me, he keeps

84
00:05:20,100 –> 00:05:22,300
falling on his face and he
doesn’t seem to learn.

85
00:05:22,500 –> 00:05:24,400
We do the same things over and
over again.

86
00:05:24,700 –> 00:05:29,300
What was the greatest?
The greatest thing in Abraham’s

87
00:05:29,300 –> 00:05:32,100
life that he almost lost in
Egypt.

88
00:05:33,800 –> 00:05:38,800
It was that one.
Hmm Abraham Lee lost his loved

89
00:05:38,900 –> 00:05:42,900
the love Sarah because of his
silly decision to go down into

90
00:05:42,900 –> 00:05:46,800
Egypt.
Lot goes down to Sodom and

91
00:05:46,800 –> 00:05:49,400
Abraham saves him.
The first time he comes out with

92
00:05:49,400 –> 00:05:54,500
his wife, Almost loses her.
Where does lot go then?

93
00:05:56,700 –> 00:06:00,200
Straight back.
And what happens to his wife.

94
00:06:01,500 –> 00:06:04,900
He ends up losing her lot ends
up losing his wife because he

95
00:06:04,907 –> 00:06:09,200
doesn’t learn by his mistakes
and we’re going to see that.

96
00:06:09,300 –> 00:06:13,600
Poor old, lot was discontent.
It’s a diagnostic Bullseye.

97
00:06:13,700 –> 00:06:17,100
That was lots problem.
He was a Covetous, man, and

98
00:06:17,100 –> 00:06:20,400
we’ll see that in Hebrews 13 in
a couple of days time.

99
00:06:20,600 –> 00:06:23,600
Lot had a big problem.
I want to show you first Timothy

100
00:06:24,700 –> 00:06:30,100
First, Timothy chapter 6, see a
Brett was Abraham, Rich?

101
00:06:30,100 –> 00:06:30,800
Yes.
Or no?

102
00:06:32,100 –> 00:06:37,400
Was what with yes or no, I got
here is more Rich say I even had

103
00:06:38,400 –> 00:06:41,700
more gear and more stockham of
silver and gold and lot with

104
00:06:41,700 –> 00:06:44,500
ever have.
But the problem is with lat he

105
00:06:44,500 –> 00:06:47,400
loved it.
He absolutely was in love with.

106
00:06:47,400 –> 00:06:50,600
He wanted to marry it.
He loved it so much.

107
00:06:51,600 –> 00:06:54,000
Abraham didn’t love it.
In fact, if you took all

108
00:06:54,000 –> 00:06:56,500
Abraham’s money in herds, and
cattle away, and all his

109
00:06:56,500 –> 00:07:00,300
servants and left him and Sarah,
just with a tent and a goat,

110
00:07:01,100 –> 00:07:03,900
bless him, he would have still
been happy.

111
00:07:05,600 –> 00:07:10,000
I can, I can tell you quite
readily that I would find it

112
00:07:10,200 –> 00:07:14,000
difficult.
Within Myself to be happy with

113
00:07:14,000 –> 00:07:17,900
just a tent and a goat, but
Abraham and Sarah.

114
00:07:17,900 –> 00:07:21,600
We’re not discontent.
People lot was now look at First

115
00:07:21,600 –> 00:07:26,000
Timothy, what?
Look at it says says in verse 6,

116
00:07:26,400 –> 00:07:29,400
First Timothy 6.
Now there is great gain in

117
00:07:29,400 –> 00:07:34,100
godliness with contentment you
guys if you have these verses

118
00:07:34,100 –> 00:07:37,200
highlighted I suggest that it’s
probably a good idea highlight

119
00:07:37,200 –> 00:07:45,100
is versus there’s great gain in
godliness be God like like God

120
00:07:45,200 –> 00:07:48,500
be like him with contentment
for.

121
00:07:48,500 –> 00:07:51,300
We brought nothing into this
world and we cannot take

122
00:07:51,300 –> 00:07:54,600
anything out of the world, but
if we have food and clothing be

123
00:07:54,600 –> 00:07:56,700
content and we think you’re
right.

124
00:07:57,700 –> 00:08:01,100
With food and clothing.
What else do you need?

125
00:08:06,600 –> 00:08:08,500
Do we need anything else than
food and clothing?

126
00:08:10,400 –> 00:08:14,200
I mean like a house.
I like a car.

127
00:08:15,400 –> 00:08:19,500
A couple of cars boat.
Holidays.

128
00:08:20,200 –> 00:08:22,800
Who wants to let me who thinks
they could be content.

129
00:08:22,800 –> 00:08:24,800
Just with food and clothing
knowing God’s going to look

130
00:08:24,800 –> 00:08:28,300
after you.
Hey.

131
00:08:29,900 –> 00:08:35,400
I would hate it.
I think I would but I shouldn’t

132
00:08:35,700 –> 00:08:39,600
God says if you’re just like me
and you have these things and

133
00:08:39,900 –> 00:08:44,300
for me, those who desire to be
rich fall into temptation and

134
00:08:44,300 –> 00:08:47,700
into a snare and into many
senseless and harmful desires

135
00:08:47,700 –> 00:08:51,000
that plunge, people into ruin
and destruction For the Love of

136
00:08:51,000 –> 00:08:54,800
Money is the root of all evil.
It is through this, craving that

137
00:08:54,800 –> 00:08:57,300
some have wandered away from the
faith and pierced themselves

138
00:08:57,300 –> 00:09:00,300
through with many Sorrows.
Do you think lot woke up one day

139
00:09:01,400 –> 00:09:04,700
in the beginning and wet?
You know what?

140
00:09:05,300 –> 00:09:09,700
I want to fall into temptation.
And I want to avoid too many

141
00:09:09,700 –> 00:09:14,200
traps and wicked, and first as
eyes that ruin, and destroy my

142
00:09:14,200 –> 00:09:18,200
soul on a Lose, My Faith and
caused myself and told agonies.

143
00:09:18,500 –> 00:09:22,100
Yeah, that’s what I want to do.
You guys ever wake up in the

144
00:09:22,100 –> 00:09:24,200
morning?
Think that without the drug

145
00:09:24,200 –> 00:09:27,200
addict Dad Dad, it’s just
marijuana man.

146
00:09:27,200 –> 00:09:31,300
Just stay cool.
I know what I’m talking about

147
00:09:31,300 –> 00:09:36,300
guys because I teach kids at
school year, 70 rates, he’s a

148
00:09:36,300 –> 00:09:43,000
bomber, And the kids get his
eyes are red.

149
00:09:43,000 –> 00:09:46,700
You know, it there’s so many
kids, Just Dance Just for kicks.

150
00:09:46,800 –> 00:09:49,000
It’s only marijuana just going
to muck around.

151
00:09:49,100 –> 00:09:51,700
It won’t go any further.
None of those kids wake up one

152
00:09:51,700 –> 00:09:53,500
day and thing.
Now, you know what, I want to

153
00:09:53,500 –> 00:09:56,300
do, want to start off and
marijuana and progress pretty

154
00:09:56,300 –> 00:09:59,600
quick at quickly to heroin,
which is what always happens, by

155
00:09:59,600 –> 00:10:02,400
the way, to the hardcore drugs.
Sorry to let you know this guy’s

156
00:10:02,400 –> 00:10:06,700
and what I want to do, I want to
die emaciated with no friends

157
00:10:06,700 –> 00:10:08,400
with a ruined life with scars
up.

158
00:10:08,500 –> 00:10:12,800
Up and down both arms so that
you cannot find any veins lying

159
00:10:13,300 –> 00:10:16,200
in a gutter.
Yeah, that’s what I want.

160
00:10:19,000 –> 00:10:22,100
You think I’m mad?
I’ll go my pretty extreme

161
00:10:22,100 –> 00:10:25,800
example, guys.
Think about the choices in your

162
00:10:25,800 –> 00:10:28,100
life.
The steps trivial though, they

163
00:10:28,100 –> 00:10:33,200
may seem imperceptibly small
little tiny ones, I ultimately

164
00:10:33,400 –> 00:10:38,400
in the end, over a long period
of time, will have a massive

165
00:10:38,400 –> 00:10:43,800
impact in your life, you’re all
young Unis ahead, yay.

166
00:10:43,900 –> 00:10:47,200
We’re going to have fun at Uni.
We’re going to do all these cool

167
00:10:47,200 –> 00:10:48,100
things.
Things.

168
00:10:48,100 –> 00:10:51,700
And and had our minds broadened
and have our eyes open and Mum

169
00:10:51,700 –> 00:10:54,400
and Dad everything, they’re said
to us, I know better than them

170
00:10:54,600 –> 00:10:58,900
just think.
What I’m telling you is true, it

171
00:10:58,900 –> 00:11:00,600
breaks.
My heart to see, young people,

172
00:11:00,600 –> 00:11:04,000
like, you are the same in
Australia, and sometimes I think

173
00:11:04,000 –> 00:11:08,100
is the message going through
Think about the choices.

174
00:11:08,200 –> 00:11:11,900
Lot made bad choices, make good
choices.

175
00:11:11,900 –> 00:11:15,500
God first God s.
God, third your life will run

176
00:11:15,500 –> 00:11:17,900
smoothly and in the end, you’ll
be in the Kingdom.

177
00:11:17,900 –> 00:11:19,800
Will you have hiccups?
Will you have challenges?

178
00:11:19,800 –> 00:11:21,700
Will you have anxiety?
Yes, you will.

179
00:11:23,400 –> 00:11:24,800
But you going to be close to
God.

180
00:11:25,700 –> 00:11:28,000
You’re going to have his word,
you’ll have brothers and

181
00:11:28,000 –> 00:11:31,700
sisters, who care, and you’ll
still make friends along the way

182
00:11:31,700 –> 00:11:34,300
that love you and will support
you and keep you.

183
00:11:35,400 –> 00:11:38,600
It’s the way to go Young.
People lot had it bad.

184
00:11:38,600 –> 00:11:41,600
He was a discontent person.
And the problem is with Allah,

185
00:11:41,600 –> 00:11:46,300
do not have to qualify this.
He lived.

186
00:11:48,000 –> 00:11:51,100
With the ungodly.
He didn’t live ungodly.

187
00:11:51,100 –> 00:11:52,400
Okay, don’t think for one
second.

188
00:11:52,400 –> 00:11:55,600
I’m saying lots of great big
sinner, he’s not but he had this

189
00:11:55,600 –> 00:11:58,200
ambivalence in his life.
On the one hand he says, I love

190
00:11:58,200 –> 00:12:00,800
it down here.
I love the the luxuries and all

191
00:12:00,800 –> 00:12:03,100
the things that can give me in
Sodom the all the bells and

192
00:12:03,100 –> 00:12:05,200
whistles and things that open
and shut the air-conditioned

193
00:12:05,200 –> 00:12:07,200
cars and the trolleys in the
supermarket.

194
00:12:07,200 –> 00:12:09,400
Sorry trolleys.
What do you guys call him and

195
00:12:09,400 –> 00:12:13,000
Walmart those cats?
I love those cars because they

196
00:12:13,008 –> 00:12:15,600
haven’t got the the Dickey wheel
and it still works.

197
00:12:16,100 –> 00:12:21,000
I love them here inside of them.
But I hate I can’t hardly

198
00:12:21,000 –> 00:12:24,700
countenance the sinfulness of
this city hate that but I love

199
00:12:24,700 –> 00:12:30,200
this but hey that I love this.
That was a lot ambivalence and

200
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:32,900
he stayed there and it was
stressed him out.

201
00:12:33,000 –> 00:12:36,000
He had this acute mental
Affliction and it was really, it

202
00:12:36,000 –> 00:12:39,600
was ruining him, it was ruining
his daughters and his wife and

203
00:12:39,600 –> 00:12:42,400
it was stressing him knowing it
was giving him stomach ulcers

204
00:12:42,400 –> 00:12:46,300
and all these pains and Gastro
and headaches and migraines.

205
00:12:46,700 –> 00:12:48,300
Why did he stay?
There.

206
00:12:49,700 –> 00:12:52,600
What on Earth was he thinking?
Do you think guys?

207
00:12:52,600 –> 00:12:55,900
Do you think Abraham woke up
every morning stressed out of

208
00:12:55,908 –> 00:12:56,900
his mind?
Like lat.

209
00:12:58,800 –> 00:13:00,800
How come, how, come Abraham
didn’t wake up?

210
00:13:00,800 –> 00:13:04,000
Every morning stressed out of
his mind, like, his nephew lot

211
00:13:04,000 –> 00:13:15,800
did.
Why why didn’t have any reason

212
00:13:15,800 –> 00:13:19,500
to be stressed?
And what way did he put God?

213
00:13:19,500 –> 00:13:22,000
First, let’s get right down to
the nuts and bolts of it.

214
00:13:23,700 –> 00:13:25,700
What did what do that?
Abraham didn’t do.

215
00:13:30,900 –> 00:13:34,300
Exactly what packed up his tent
and went and lived in the city.

216
00:13:34,700 –> 00:13:39,500
Where did Ibraham live It lived
under a tree in a field,

217
00:13:39,500 –> 00:13:42,600
surrounded by cows and sheep and
servants and things.

218
00:13:43,100 –> 00:13:48,700
He was of stress like that.
He chose to live like this lot

219
00:13:48,700 –> 00:13:52,600
chose to live like that.
Now here’s the big question.

220
00:13:52,800 –> 00:13:54,900
Why did Abraham choose to live
like that?

221
00:13:55,200 –> 00:13:56,900
And why did not choose to live
like that?

222
00:13:58,400 –> 00:14:00,100
Why do they bring him?
Choose to live here?

223
00:14:01,300 –> 00:14:03,600
Can you guys tell me?
You need to know this.

224
00:14:03,600 –> 00:14:05,800
If you’re going to save your
life, you need to know this.

225
00:14:05,800 –> 00:14:08,100
Why Abraham chose?
Because it’s all about

226
00:14:08,100 –> 00:14:12,100
motivation, you’ve got to be
motivated to make a choice and

227
00:14:12,100 –> 00:14:13,700
to make good choices.
You’ve got to have good

228
00:14:13,700 –> 00:14:15,700
motivation, you know, make bad
choices.

229
00:14:15,700 –> 00:14:22,200
It will always be a selfish.
Proud, lustful wrong, Superior,

230
00:14:22,200 –> 00:14:26,400
greedy motivation.
Why did Abraham choose to stay

231
00:14:26,400 –> 00:14:37,100
in the area that he was in?
Bingo.

232
00:14:37,900 –> 00:14:39,000
Excellent.
Answer.

233
00:14:39,100 –> 00:14:40,900
Straight to the top of the
class.

234
00:14:42,100 –> 00:14:44,600
Awesome.
It was because he was content.

235
00:14:46,100 –> 00:14:48,500
And he was not covered as if it
was covered as he what he said,

236
00:14:48,500 –> 00:14:52,300
I’m coming with you and down
with lat and he wasn’t covered

237
00:14:52,300 –> 00:14:54,700
as person.
He was in 10th person.

238
00:14:55,700 –> 00:14:58,900
But, here’s the other thing too,
how come Abraham didn’t say it a

239
00:14:58,900 –> 00:15:01,600
lot.
When lot said, mmm, I like it

240
00:15:01,600 –> 00:15:04,400
down there inside of them and
that’s where I choose to go.

241
00:15:04,600 –> 00:15:07,900
Why did Abraham say no, stop,
don’t go down there.

242
00:15:07,900 –> 00:15:09,700
You mad.
What are you thinking?

243
00:15:10,800 –> 00:15:12,700
Anybody know why Abraham didn’t
say?

244
00:15:14,100 –> 00:15:18,300
Tango down there.
What if you see one of your

245
00:15:18,300 –> 00:15:20,800
mates doing the wrong thing?
What if you see, one of your

246
00:15:20,800 –> 00:15:23,400
mates getting on things on the
internet, that they shouldn’t

247
00:15:23,400 –> 00:15:25,900
be, do you say, don’t do that?
It’s wrong.

248
00:15:26,100 –> 00:15:28,600
Well, girls, what if you see,
one of your girlfriend’s going

249
00:15:28,600 –> 00:15:31,100
out with a guy in the world and
you know you shouldn’t she

250
00:15:31,100 –> 00:15:32,700
shouldn’t do it.
What do you say?

251
00:15:33,900 –> 00:15:36,300
Or how come you don’t say?
No, it’s wrong.

252
00:15:37,300 –> 00:15:39,500
How come you don’t say stop?
We should be doing better

253
00:15:39,500 –> 00:15:42,700
things.
Why didn’t you Abraham say?

254
00:15:42,800 –> 00:15:50,100
Don’t do it.
He say that again here.

255
00:15:50,100 –> 00:15:51,900
I think you’re right.
I’ll make it sound that you’re

256
00:15:51,900 –> 00:15:52,500
right.
Anyway.

257
00:15:53,900 –> 00:16:02,100
I’m deaf now that’s not right.
But it’s a good point that he

258
00:16:02,100 –> 00:16:07,800
probably did in some ways but
it’s not quite there he which

259
00:16:08,900 –> 00:16:13,000
partly didn’t want to fight.
Partly look I’ll tell you this.

260
00:16:13,900 –> 00:16:18,400
What did a what did lots a Sodom
in the plain of Sodom look like,

261
00:16:18,700 –> 00:16:23,800
what did it remind him of?
Egypt.

262
00:16:24,100 –> 00:16:26,200
How did not know what Egypt look
like?

263
00:16:28,500 –> 00:16:32,600
When does Abraham Abraham at
taking him into Egypt, got his

264
00:16:32,600 –> 00:16:35,500
passport and marched him down to
immigration office and take him

265
00:16:35,500 –> 00:16:37,300
through the border control into
Egypt.

266
00:16:37,400 –> 00:16:40,400
It was Abraham’s fault.
That lot knew what Egypt look

267
00:16:40,400 –> 00:16:45,500
like Abraham had no credibility
the Halo had fallen off as we

268
00:16:45,500 –> 00:16:49,800
said yesterday and now he was
just a man, it was nothing in

269
00:16:49,800 –> 00:16:54,800
lot size and as soon as I open
him up you can’t don’t you tell

270
00:16:54,800 –> 00:16:57,000
me what to do.
You’re no better than me.

271
00:16:57,100 –> 00:17:00,700
Me, you took me down into Egypt
for the anyway, you guys ever

272
00:17:00,700 –> 00:17:02,700
thought that mentions it in the
computer and you’re watching

273
00:17:02,700 –> 00:17:03,800
him, I do things.
You shouldn’t do.

274
00:17:03,800 –> 00:17:06,000
And you’re about to say, don’t
do what would he turn say to

275
00:17:06,000 –> 00:17:09,400
you?
Hey, hey, come on and tell me

276
00:17:09,400 –> 00:17:11,800
what to do.
You’re on this the other day

277
00:17:12,599 –> 00:17:15,300
back down.
What about a girl’s going out?

278
00:17:15,300 –> 00:17:18,900
Some guy in the world, you were
going out with some 16 months

279
00:17:18,900 –> 00:17:20,400
ago.
How come you’re so high and

280
00:17:20,400 –> 00:17:22,900
mighty?
Now anybody here ever felt

281
00:17:22,900 –> 00:17:25,000
compromise like that because
your own sins.

282
00:17:25,000 –> 00:17:29,700
Hey, I know all about it.
We know all about that.

283
00:17:30,100 –> 00:17:33,300
Everybody feels the same way.
Compromised grows have to touch

284
00:17:33,300 –> 00:17:38,900
that.
We all feel that same way, it’s

285
00:17:38,900 –> 00:17:42,000
terrible but that’s how Abraham
felt poor old lot.

286
00:17:42,000 –> 00:17:43,700
He had a bad and what could he
do now?

287
00:17:44,400 –> 00:17:49,000
You know, you think about this
Covetousness and contentment.

288
00:17:49,700 –> 00:17:51,500
And what time do I have to feed?
Just give me a time.

289
00:17:51,500 –> 00:17:55,000
So my brain can work this out.
I’m pretty slow, I know.

290
00:17:59,700 –> 00:18:02,500
Alright 1040, but I like to
plan.

291
00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:06,200
Okay.
So about 25 minutes.

292
00:18:06,200 –> 00:18:08,400
Is that right?
Yep. 25 something like that.

293
00:18:08,400 –> 00:18:13,600
Okay, now our in the world guys,
give that it’s a

choose-your-own-adventure out

00:18:16,700 –> 00:18:19,700
To find satisfaction and
contentment.

As many different Avenues you
could choose.

297

Can anybody tell me some of the
different ways that you could

world promise to give you
contentment?

302
00:18:42,100 –> 00:18:43,500
Yeah.
Okay material things.

Give me some examples.
What type of material things

304
00:18:46,100 –> 00:18:48,200
because if you’re a guy’s
different to the girls, what

305
00:18:48,200 –> 00:18:53,200
would the girls want?
I’ve got four girls guys.

306
00:18:53,200 –> 00:18:54,500
I mean I know what I’m talking
about.

307
00:18:54,500 –> 00:19:00,800
So tell me what they are.
Clothing is that right fashion

308
00:19:01,800 –> 00:19:05,100
do some girls go for fashion.
I’m not going to reduce you all

309
00:19:05,100 –> 00:19:07,100
to that.
I’m not going to say that’s all

310
00:19:07,100 –> 00:19:08,800
you go for but yeah, it’s a big
deal.

311
00:19:08,900 –> 00:19:11,400
But there’s some pretty new age
sensitive guys out there who are

312
00:19:11,400 –> 00:19:13,900
also thinking you know, fashions
for me too.

00:19:16,800 –> 00:19:20,400
What about Academia?
Prestigious education?

reputable qualifications and
professional occupations.

00:19:31,700 –> 00:19:33,500
There’s all these different
Avenues.

00:19:33,800 –> 00:19:36,200
What about it?
Healthy body and guys are into

318

trying to get tough and strong.

319
00:19:41,900 –> 00:19:44,300
So it will pass the girls and
they were all passing in a

320
00:19:44,300 –> 00:19:46,400
window in the cargo when they
say.

321
00:19:46,600 –> 00:19:48,900
Yeah, go ahead and go really
fast for a bit.

322
00:19:50,100 –> 00:19:53,000
Well, I think the girls going to
go to who did you see Johnny go

323
00:19:53,000 –> 00:19:58,200
really fast just now You know,
makes me laugh, doesn’t it?

324
00:19:58,300 –> 00:20:01,400
You back in the schoolyard where
they like that when they saw the

325
00:20:01,400 –> 00:20:03,600
girls today run with a fast
little bit like this?

326
00:20:05,900 –> 00:20:07,900
What is it with guys showing
off?

327
00:20:09,000 –> 00:20:11,000
You guys look forward to that.
Is that what’s going to give you

328
00:20:11,000 –> 00:20:13,200
contentment when you get a
beautiful wife?

329
00:20:15,100 –> 00:20:17,200
See there’s many Avenues out
there, do they bring

330
00:20:17,200 –> 00:20:19,000
contentment?
I’m going to tell you up front

331
00:20:19,000 –> 00:20:22,300
just so you know if that you
think they will be vehicles for

332
00:20:22,300 –> 00:20:26,300
contaminant, you’re going to be
sorely mistaken because I’ll

333
00:20:26,300 –> 00:20:30,900
tell you.
Now the there’s the rich, the

334
00:20:30,900 –> 00:20:33,300
rich of this world, the millions
of Rich of this world are

335
00:20:33,308 –> 00:20:36,300
actually working out that all
the things, which promised them

336
00:20:36,300 –> 00:20:38,100
contentment and they’re facing
the same.

337
00:20:38,100 –> 00:20:42,000
Meaningless relationships,
meaningless life, suicide and

338
00:20:42,000 –> 00:20:44,800
depression, alcohol, isn’t that
all the poor and middle class?

339
00:20:44,900 –> 00:20:47,400
Glasses experiencing.
So, you know, we’re about middle

340
00:20:47,400 –> 00:20:49,700
class but the poor people, this
world’s thinking more, any

341
00:20:49,700 –> 00:20:53,500
wonder, I’m suicidal, any
wonder, I’m depressed, man, I’ve

342
00:20:53,500 –> 00:20:56,800
got no money.
The poor think that they had

343
00:20:56,800 –> 00:20:59,800
money, everything be fine,
middle-class you and I, we got

344
00:20:59,800 –> 00:21:02,100
money.
But see, we’re on the threshold

345
00:21:02,100 –> 00:21:03,900
of greatness.
We think, if we can just cross

346
00:21:03,900 –> 00:21:07,300
that line, just give that little
bit more and extra.

347
00:21:07,900 –> 00:21:11,200
Then just that qualification,
just that job lived there.

348
00:21:11,300 –> 00:21:13,400
If I had that boyfriend, I had
that girlfriend.

349
00:21:14,000 –> 00:21:17,600
Then I know I’d be Happy.
But the rich young people have

350
00:21:17,600 –> 00:21:21,000
run that rainbow all the way out
to the end.

351
00:21:21,000 –> 00:21:26,100
And yet they found, it was a
hopes unexpectedly, an empty

352
00:21:26,100 –> 00:21:27,600
Journey.
There’s nothing in this world

353
00:21:27,600 –> 00:21:29,900
that gives them contentment and
money.

354
00:21:29,900 –> 00:21:32,600
Can’t buy you.
The things you need money will

355
00:21:32,600 –> 00:21:36,000
buy your Thrills and Spills and
education’s and experiences and

356
00:21:36,000 –> 00:21:37,600
cars and boats and material
possessions.

357
00:21:37,600 –> 00:21:41,300
And all those wonderful things,
money will get you that but

358
00:21:41,300 –> 00:21:44,300
money will not buy you love and
a friend.

359
00:21:44,300 –> 00:21:51,000
And Oops, and grace, and mercy,
and loyalty, and forgiveness.

360
00:21:52,900 –> 00:21:55,900
I told the the adults down their
money can buy yourself, a

361
00:21:55,908 –> 00:21:58,900
beautiful, big occlusal Hall but
it can’t buy an antique leisure

362
00:22:01,000 –> 00:22:04,400
Money can’t deliver and you may
want to find that out for

363
00:22:04,400 –> 00:22:08,700
yourself because you’re thinking
blah blah, blah and I think the

364
00:22:08,700 –> 00:22:10,800
same I think yeah but just a
little bit more money wouldn’t

365
00:22:10,800 –> 00:22:14,500
help her try the wouldn’t hurt
but young people want to tell

366
00:22:14,500 –> 00:22:17,000
you before you go through your
own experience and get

367
00:22:17,000 –> 00:22:20,700
disappointed for yourself.
You know, talk about

368
00:22:20,700 –> 00:22:23,200
covetousness.
I was with before I came to the

369
00:22:23,200 –> 00:22:26,400
truth, I came the truth.
I was about 13 years old when

370
00:22:26,400 –> 00:22:30,300
his kids birthday party, right?
Where there is really happy time

371
00:22:30,300 –> 00:22:34,600
you know in Blues arm and those
things streamers and everything.

372
00:22:35,000 –> 00:22:38,000
And we were sitting down just
before lunch and he’s acting up

373
00:22:38,000 –> 00:22:40,500
all these presents and we’re all
sitting around.

374
00:22:40,500 –> 00:22:43,100
He’s tearing.
You don’t in America.

375
00:22:43,100 –> 00:22:45,900
Is it sort of rude if you don’t
open the card first and go,

376
00:22:46,900 –> 00:22:50,700
thank you Grandma.
Is it really just tear the

377
00:22:50,700 –> 00:22:52,500
personal part first without
reading the card?

378
00:22:52,600 –> 00:22:53,700
Yeah, it is in Australia.
Okay.

379
00:22:53,700 –> 00:22:56,100
But this kids just I want
everything everywhere is ribbons

380
00:22:56,100 –> 00:22:59,000
and paper and he opens up all
these present world going.

381
00:22:59,000 –> 00:23:01,600
Wow man, who’s it was mine.
Birthday.

382
00:23:01,600 –> 00:23:04,700
Look at that.
And he looks up at his parents

383
00:23:04,700 –> 00:23:10,300
with his sneer and says, is this
all I get I will wait.

384
00:23:13,200 –> 00:23:18,900
And held our Collective breath.
And dad takes a big deep breath.

385
00:23:19,500 –> 00:23:24,700
Walks over to the kitchen table,
gets his lunch, walks back

386
00:23:25,600 –> 00:23:27,900
stands there.
Tips it on his head.

387
00:23:29,400 –> 00:23:34,400
All over the floor packs up, his
presence, sends us, home sends

388
00:23:34,400 –> 00:23:36,800
him to bed, and takes his own
presence down to.

389
00:23:36,800 –> 00:23:38,700
Um, Vinnie’s.
What do you guys call that here?

390
00:23:38,900 –> 00:23:41,800
Like an opportunity shop?
Goodwill shop?

391
00:23:41,800 –> 00:23:43,400
Take some that know birthday for
him.

392
00:23:46,700 –> 00:23:49,100
I wait were horrified of that.
Don’t show you something.

393
00:23:49,100 –> 00:23:53,300
Have a look at Hebrews 13, guys.
And you think, oh, I would never

394
00:23:53,300 –> 00:23:58,100
be like that.
Well, think about this young

395
00:23:58,100 –> 00:24:00,900
people, you’re all got the world
ahead of you.

396
00:24:01,200 –> 00:24:03,600
Honestly, it’s such a promising
Place.

397
00:24:03,700 –> 00:24:06,900
Believe the advertisements don’t
listen to what I’m saying.

398
00:24:06,900 –> 00:24:09,900
Like it’s what I’m saying to you
is a lie, my Uncle Matt, the

399
00:24:09,900 –> 00:24:13,000
nobody’s talking about the
world, knows the world telling

400
00:24:13,000 –> 00:24:15,700
me christadelphians.
Parents are trying to hold me

401
00:24:15,700 –> 00:24:18,600
back from all the good things
and it’s think about this.

402
00:24:19,200 –> 00:24:23,600
Look what the Hebrews 13 says,
verse 5.

403
00:24:23,700 –> 00:24:27,700
Keep your life free from
cavitus. – the love of silver

404
00:24:28,400 –> 00:24:32,200
and be content with what you
have for.

405
00:24:32,200 –> 00:24:36,400
He has said I will never leave
you nor forsake you now what is

406
00:24:36,400 –> 00:24:40,400
that verse tell you young people
that every one of you without

407
00:24:40,400 –> 00:24:47,000
exception have what does that
verse tell you you have Okay.

408
00:24:47,000 –> 00:24:49,300
What is it though?
In the verse that is that you

409
00:24:49,300 –> 00:24:50,900
have more than enough, you’re
dead, right?

410
00:24:50,900 –> 00:24:53,200
We have more than enough, but
what is it that it’s

411
00:24:53,400 –> 00:25:00,600
specifically says you actually
have Yes, we have God.

412
00:25:01,000 –> 00:25:03,900
He said that wife just be
content with what you have.

413
00:25:03,900 –> 00:25:09,200
Well, what do I have?
God says, well me because I

414
00:25:09,200 –> 00:25:11,900
won’t leave you.
You’ll always have me with you.

415
00:25:12,900 –> 00:25:14,900
And you know what?
I feel like sometimes I feel

416
00:25:14,900 –> 00:25:16,600
like that.
I’ve got this big present from

417
00:25:16,600 –> 00:25:18,300
God himself, come down from
heaven.

418
00:25:18,300 –> 00:25:21,000
He says he is son.
This is for you and I can thank

419
00:25:21,000 –> 00:25:23,500
you, Dad.
And I poured all open and I open

420
00:25:23,500 –> 00:25:28,100
up the present and I look inside
and it’s God himself, he’s given

421
00:25:28,100 –> 00:25:31,500
me himself as a gift and
sometimes I feel like I’ve

422
00:25:31,500 –> 00:25:34,300
looked up at him and I’ve
sneered and said is this all I

423
00:25:34,300 –> 00:25:39,000
get Young people.
Do you ever feel like that?

424
00:25:39,000 –> 00:25:41,600
Is this all I get it.
Disgusts me.

425
00:25:41,600 –> 00:25:44,400
It makes me feel terrible.
There’s an old there’s an old

426
00:25:44,400 –> 00:25:48,800
example about having a hole in
our heart which from a young

427
00:25:48,800 –> 00:25:51,900
age, we can sense and we
actually try to fill it.

428
00:25:52,000 –> 00:25:54,300
We try to fill it with
relationships and friends and

429
00:25:54,300 –> 00:25:57,100
all those Avenues which I just
discussed with you just a little

430
00:25:57,100 –> 00:26:01,000
while ago to satisfy that deep
ache and pain.

431
00:26:01,400 –> 00:26:05,800
But you see this hole it’s like
putting a round peg into a

432
00:26:05,800 –> 00:26:09,100
square.
All we try everything even

433
00:26:09,100 –> 00:26:12,500
relationships and people some
people want families and have

434
00:26:12,500 –> 00:26:16,000
lots of children.
Think then I’ll be happy, but it

435
00:26:16,000 –> 00:26:18,300
doesn’t fit.
It doesn’t fit the hole in our

436
00:26:18,300 –> 00:26:21,000
hearts.
And what we learn is that it’s

437
00:26:21,000 –> 00:26:24,500
actually a god-shaped hole and
the only thing is going to fit

438
00:26:24,700 –> 00:26:27,400
is the truth in our life.
The Lord, Jesus Christ,

439
00:26:27,600 –> 00:26:31,700
Fellowship Alec leisure’s.
What God’s given us the only

440
00:26:31,700 –> 00:26:35,500
thing that will fill that hole
cover it up and give us true

441
00:26:35,500 –> 00:26:38,600
Presence, at us Action.
Ultimately eternal life.

442
00:26:38,900 –> 00:26:40,300
We’ve got to believe these
things.

443
00:26:40,300 –> 00:26:42,800
Young people have to believe
these things.

444
00:26:43,000 –> 00:26:45,700
In fact, just to show you how
much we really do.

445
00:26:45,700 –> 00:26:49,000
Have you imagine this sorry.
I’m sure I had overheads here.

446
00:26:50,100 –> 00:26:54,300
I had this overhead, Lots
covered us and I had this

447
00:26:54,300 –> 00:26:57,300
overhead lot by name lot by
Nature.

448
00:26:58,100 –> 00:27:00,200
It’s a good overhead, isn’t it?
You like that one.

449
00:27:00,400 –> 00:27:02,600
I like that one, too.
And I had this one.

450
00:27:03,700 –> 00:27:05,800
Did you know, we only use twenty
percent of the things that we

451
00:27:05,800 –> 00:27:09,200
own?
Yeah, it’s I mean this is

452
00:27:09,200 –> 00:27:12,300
pretty.
That means that means you can go

453
00:27:12,300 –> 00:27:15,800
home and check out 80% of the
stuff you’ve got.

454
00:27:18,700 –> 00:27:21,300
Hey statistics.
Like I think whether they get

455
00:27:21,300 –> 00:27:25,300
these numbers from in the first
place and two, how do they get

456
00:27:25,300 –> 00:27:29,000
into my house?
It is like that.

457
00:27:29,000 –> 00:27:31,100
I’m going to do, you know, how
many kids I’ve got?

458
00:27:32,500 –> 00:27:35,000
I got six kids.
Alright, I’ve got a couple of

459
00:27:35,000 –> 00:27:40,500
kids and when I my house is just
littered with kids stuff.

460
00:27:40,900 –> 00:27:43,400
Happy Meals things.
You guys are Mac is all the

461
00:27:43,400 –> 00:27:44,300
time.
What happened?

462
00:27:44,300 –> 00:27:46,000
You get a Happy Meal.
You get a toy.

463
00:27:46,900 –> 00:27:48,700
It’s meant to make him happy,
isn’t it?

464
00:27:49,300 –> 00:27:52,300
And that’s, that’s wrong
advertising.

465
00:27:52,700 –> 00:27:56,100
How many Happy Meals of my kids
have and then I happy what’s

466
00:27:56,100 –> 00:27:58,100
going on.
It’s not working.

467
00:27:58,400 –> 00:27:59,700
I want to know what the problem
is.

468
00:27:59,700 –> 00:28:02,200
Look at this, I’m going to go
home and check.

469
00:28:02,300 –> 00:28:04,300
Check out all their gear.
Do you think they’ll be happy?

470
00:28:04,300 –> 00:28:07,300
Fourth?
Contentment is not just

471
00:28:07,300 –> 00:28:10,300
recommended as commanded.
So guys, not giving you any

472
00:28:10,300 –> 00:28:12,100
choice in the matter.
There’s no wriggle room.

473
00:28:12,100 –> 00:28:14,700
This is it God’s telling us he’s
a good one.

474
00:28:14,700 –> 00:28:16,900
Will come back to that in a sec.
Just take note.

475
00:28:18,400 –> 00:28:22,600
Now, imagine if everything was
got everything we’ve got here in

476
00:28:22,600 –> 00:28:24,400
life.
Just think what you have your

477
00:28:24,400 –> 00:28:26,200
room your bedroom.
You don’t own your house but say

478
00:28:26,200 –> 00:28:29,500
you own the bedroom.
All right, and you’ve got your

479
00:28:29,500 –> 00:28:32,100
iPods and you’ve got your little
gadgets and computers.

480
00:28:32,300 –> 00:28:34,700
What and your clothes, whatever
you got, imagine if you could

481
00:28:34,700 –> 00:28:39,000
take everything you have back to
the early years ad.

482
00:28:40,100 –> 00:28:44,000
Back to the time of Christ.
All would suggest that for time

483
00:28:44,000 –> 00:28:49,400
you’d fail, miserably satisfied
when you looking at all the

484
00:28:49,400 –> 00:28:53,500
stuff you’ve got, but you can
hardly hold onto and look around

485
00:28:53,600 –> 00:28:57,400
at what everybody else hasn’t
got and see, content is that

486
00:28:57,400 –> 00:29:01,200
it’s the contentment or
discontentment the feeling of

487
00:29:01,200 –> 00:29:05,100
discontentment sort of rest
between all that there is to

488
00:29:05,100 –> 00:29:09,700
have up here and all that we now
have and the disparity between.

489
00:29:09,800 –> 00:29:11,000
That.
Okay.

490
00:29:11,000 –> 00:29:13,700
So what happens to this set
point of all that there is to

491
00:29:13,700 –> 00:29:18,100
have, which way does that go?
Up.

492
00:29:18,100 –> 00:29:21,300
It’s got a nice ceiling on it.
Just keeps going up and up and

493
00:29:21,300 –> 00:29:24,200
up.
And if we’re watching it, where

494
00:29:24,200 –> 00:29:27,600
it’s going up higher and faster,
than what we’re actually keeping

495
00:29:27,600 –> 00:29:30,800
up with and because we’re
keeping online that we feel

496
00:29:30,800 –> 00:29:35,700
measurably discontents or
incrementally more discontent

497
00:29:35,800 –> 00:29:38,400
and I like air conditioning,
he’s a classic example.

498
00:29:38,600 –> 00:29:41,200
How better do we feel today than
what we saw yesterday?

499
00:29:41,200 –> 00:29:44,300
But I’ve got to tell you, I’m
not entirely satisfied with the

500
00:29:44,300 –> 00:29:46,600
air conditioning today because
it could be colder.

501
00:29:48,100 –> 00:29:49,800
We want to be doing in this
place.

502
00:29:49,800 –> 00:29:51,900
The build the unit.
Don’t they know how to even get

503
00:29:51,900 –> 00:29:54,200
a building air conditioning?
How hard is it?

504
00:29:55,700 –> 00:29:58,600
Maybe we should go give him a
little bit of a bit of advice,

505
00:29:58,700 –> 00:30:01,900
but I remember the days before
air conditioning even in cars?

506
00:30:02,800 –> 00:30:06,600
So we’re in car has mean my
brothers three of us.

507
00:30:06,700 –> 00:30:11,300
Matt now and Andrew little tiny
skinny boys in the middle of

508
00:30:11,300 –> 00:30:14,000
summer.
In the back of Dad’s hold on

509
00:30:14,000 –> 00:30:18,200
vinyl seats slippery little
sweaty leg sliding backwards and

510
00:30:18,200 –> 00:30:20,300
forwards punching into each
other.

511
00:30:20,300 –> 00:30:21,800
Get away from me, don’t touch
me.

512
00:30:21,800 –> 00:30:25,500
I think you’ll like this.
But we weren’t discontented, we

513
00:30:25,500 –> 00:30:28,000
might have been a growing filthy
with one another but we weren’t

514
00:30:28,000 –> 00:30:29,800
discontented because
air-conditioned hadn’t been

515
00:30:29,800 –> 00:30:33,400
invented then.
Until one day.

516
00:30:33,600 –> 00:30:38,500
Mmm.
We saw this beautiful big

517
00:30:38,500 –> 00:30:44,300
luxurious car sail past us all
the windows around up, and the

518
00:30:44,300 –> 00:30:47,900
occupants are inside it dressed
in, fur coats and the teeth with

519
00:30:47,900 –> 00:30:50,600
because they’re sensitive to
chattering like this, and there

520
00:30:50,600 –> 00:30:53,900
was frost on the windscreen, we
go, what’s that?

521
00:30:53,900 –> 00:30:56,500
And I felt real, it’s feeling
came over me.

522
00:30:56,700 –> 00:31:00,100
What’s that feeling?
Mama feel really yucky and mom

523
00:31:00,100 –> 00:31:07,700
goes son.
That’s discontentment I don’t

524
00:31:07,700 –> 00:31:12,500
like it. soon, as you see and
then notice what other people

525
00:31:12,500 –> 00:31:18,300
have and what you have not got,
you start to feel it, and sensor

526
00:31:18,400 –> 00:31:23,300
is got an iPod, anyone who got
an iPod, Okay, I remember when I

527
00:31:23,300 –> 00:31:27,500
got mine, I was so proud walked
into the shop and bought myself

528
00:31:27,500 –> 00:31:31,000
a 30 GB iPod.
I was pumped, walking out proud

529
00:31:31,000 –> 00:31:33,500
as punch and as I walked out in
the maid was walking and said,

530
00:31:33,500 –> 00:31:36,600
hey, but you go.
So I’m gonna buy the a tiki

531
00:31:36,600 –> 00:31:40,900
iPod.
I’m going to hey I hated him.

532
00:31:42,000 –> 00:31:44,400
But it’s okay now because we’re
friends again because we’re both

533
00:31:44,400 –> 00:31:46,800
looking forward to the 120 gig
one coming.

534
00:31:47,700 –> 00:31:49,600
It’s true man.
That’s what happens.

535
00:31:49,600 –> 00:31:53,400
It just keeps going up and up
and up if you’re watching her in

536
00:31:53,400 –> 00:31:58,200
the 60s when TV came out, what
color was it right?

537
00:31:58,300 –> 00:32:01,800
Would anybody is a tiny little
Bowl, be screen.

538
00:32:02,000 –> 00:32:05,000
Family sitting around watching
these little tiny people inside

539
00:32:05,000 –> 00:32:07,800
this box in Black and White.
Would anybody say out and say, I

540
00:32:07,800 –> 00:32:11,900
hate this, this is stupid.
It’s not color.

541
00:32:13,500 –> 00:32:16,100
Nobody would.
But that’s what forward and mid

542
00:32:16,100 –> 00:32:18,400
70s.
If you are sitting there

543
00:32:18,400 –> 00:32:22,300
watching the black-and-white TV,
I reckon you would think that

544
00:32:22,300 –> 00:32:25,500
doesn’t love us.
He’s not doing his job.

545
00:32:26,100 –> 00:32:28,200
That’s covetousness, guys, it
keeps going.

546
00:32:28,200 –> 00:32:32,000
And now we talking pigma and
pixels and flat screen and

547
00:32:32,000 –> 00:32:34,200
widescreen and plasmid.
All these things man.

548
00:32:34,200 –> 00:32:36,400
It’s it just it drives you
crazy.

549
00:32:37,800 –> 00:32:39,000
That’s covetousness.
Yeah.

550
00:32:39,000 –> 00:32:41,400
Is that right?
Can you see how it affects our

551
00:32:41,400 –> 00:32:46,200
life, man?
It doesn’t It goes bias, daily

552
00:32:46,200 –> 00:32:49,000
imperceptibly, but it actually
affects us.

553
00:32:49,200 –> 00:32:52,600
Can you tell me guys what
actually gives you true comfort

554
00:32:52,600 –> 00:32:55,900
and true satisfaction?
What does the Bible say will

555
00:32:55,900 –> 00:32:58,500
give you true satisfaction.
We just read it then it’s God,

556
00:32:58,500 –> 00:33:01,300
God’s with us, but give me some
of the things in the truth that

557
00:33:01,300 –> 00:33:02,400
we have.
That should give us true

558
00:33:02,400 –> 00:33:08,900
satisfaction.
It’s right, our friends that God

559
00:33:08,900 –> 00:33:11,300
delivers I mean the true
position of the follower of

560
00:33:11,300 –> 00:33:13,500
Christ has always been that
they’re satisfied.

561
00:33:15,200 –> 00:33:20,700
With God reconciled to him.
It gets me upset how Petty I am,

562
00:33:20,900 –> 00:33:24,800
I get headaches if I miss a meal
but I get it, get a Bloomin

563
00:33:24,800 –> 00:33:28,000
headache.
If I miss one meal young people

564
00:33:28,000 –> 00:33:30,000
tonight.
Millions of people are going to

565
00:33:30,000 –> 00:33:32,700
go to bed hungry, who aren’t
even going to wake up in the

566
00:33:32,700 –> 00:33:35,000
morning.
I don’t have.

567
00:33:35,000 –> 00:33:36,500
You even give them a second
thought?

568
00:33:36,700 –> 00:33:39,300
I just think I’m on.
Where’s my next meal?

569
00:33:40,400 –> 00:33:42,500
It’s pretty bad.
When you think about it, we just

570
00:33:42,500 –> 00:33:45,700
honor God.
When we go about, proclaiming a

571
00:33:45,700 –> 00:33:48,500
God, that satisfies.
And that walk around

572
00:33:48,500 –> 00:33:51,800
discontented arguing, what Mom
and Dad saying, you don’t love

573
00:33:51,800 –> 00:33:54,100
me.
I want this, I want that and we

574
00:33:54,108 –> 00:33:55,700
say yes but I’m a Christian
delphian.

575
00:33:56,800 –> 00:33:59,700
What would God think?
Why would our Heavenly Father in

576
00:33:59,700 –> 00:34:01,400
Heaven?
Actually, think about us.

577
00:34:01,900 –> 00:34:04,300
So, the worst thing is, is
advertisements.

578
00:34:04,300 –> 00:34:06,000
Look at some of these.
I’ll show you a couple of these.

579
00:34:06,000 –> 00:34:08,600
He’s one of them.
Discontentment I read about this

580
00:34:08,600 –> 00:34:11,199
particular ad actually done it
in Union.

581
00:34:11,199 –> 00:34:13,699
Studied a little bit of
advertising as well.

582
00:34:13,699 –> 00:34:17,300
I can tell you that deviates.
What’s the only thing in Colour

583
00:34:17,300 –> 00:34:21,900
involved iPod?
So here’s the person.

584
00:34:21,900 –> 00:34:26,300
This is me, this is you.
We’ve been relegated to North

585
00:34:26,300 –> 00:34:27,900
too.
Nothing non-identity.

586
00:34:29,699 –> 00:34:33,100
We just a shadow.
Take away the iPod, who’s there?

587
00:34:34,300 –> 00:34:36,600
No one.
It’s just a shadow.

588
00:34:37,500 –> 00:34:39,699
So your identity is bound up in
that product.

589
00:34:39,699 –> 00:34:41,400
You don’t consciously say this
to yourself.

590
00:34:41,400 –> 00:34:45,300
As you look at the iPod, if I
don’t get an iPod, I won’t be

591
00:34:45,300 –> 00:34:47,600
anybody.
But that’s what the

592
00:34:47,600 –> 00:34:50,600
advertisement does.
You get an iPod?

593
00:34:50,600 –> 00:34:53,100
She gets an iPod.
We all get iPods and we laugh at

594
00:34:53,100 –> 00:34:55,400
the poison and doesn’t have an
iPod.

595
00:34:56,400 –> 00:35:00,500
You loser.
You’ve got to have one to be

596
00:35:00,500 –> 00:35:03,900
anything in this life without
that product, you’re nothing.

597
00:35:04,300 –> 00:35:08,100
It’s shameful the embedded
commands in the sexual innuendo

598
00:35:08,100 –> 00:35:10,600
that goes into our advertisement
is ridiculous.

599
00:35:10,600 –> 00:35:12,700
I didn’t show the adults.
This, I might even show you

600
00:35:12,700 –> 00:35:15,800
guys.
I’ve put that back up later.

601
00:35:17,100 –> 00:35:19,900
And I can’t show you because I
don’t have it.

602
00:35:23,700 –> 00:35:24,800
Now, it’s okay.
It’s alright.

603
00:35:24,800 –> 00:35:26,600
I don’t even think, I think I
erased it.

604
00:35:27,200 –> 00:35:29,700
Sorry, guys, I promised big
things but I haven’t got it.

605
00:35:30,500 –> 00:35:35,500
Okay, I’ll just explain the tier
just a typical ladies magazine.

606
00:35:35,700 –> 00:35:40,000
Just a fashion magazine,
nothing, you know, pornographic?

607
00:35:40,000 –> 00:35:41,000
Nothing.
Immoral.

608
00:35:41,100 –> 00:35:44,500
Just a simple mag, which at the
end of reading is that yucky

609
00:35:44,500 –> 00:35:46,900
feeling again?
I feel discontent, you know, I

610
00:35:46,908 –> 00:35:49,100
was flicking through one that we
had a home, we don’t have a

611
00:35:49,100 –> 00:35:50,700
house full of them, but one was
there.

612
00:35:51,300 –> 00:35:55,600
Minard small, doesn’t mean much
flicking through it as flicking.

613
00:35:55,600 –> 00:35:59,900
Past this page, I went I think
back to it, it was advertising,

614
00:35:59,900 –> 00:36:04,700
Cutlery knives, and forks, bowls
and spoons and things.

615
00:36:05,400 –> 00:36:10,400
And at the top of it there, the
way it was worded embedded in

616
00:36:10,400 –> 00:36:13,500
the wording was the word sex
three times.

617
00:36:14,600 –> 00:36:18,900
And I said I can’t I mean you
know you got a dirty mind.

618
00:36:20,000 –> 00:36:23,800
Oh, and took it down to one of
the advertising places in town.

619
00:36:23,800 –> 00:36:25,700
I said, check this out.
I guess that’s beautiful in that

620
00:36:25,900 –> 00:36:29,600
how Goods that they spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars

621
00:36:29,700 –> 00:36:33,400
on that ad getting that perfect
deliberately doing it and you

622
00:36:33,400 –> 00:36:39,000
and I go, oh, as if they do
that, if you guys think they

623
00:36:39,000 –> 00:36:43,900
don’t do that willingly
deliberately calculatedly then,

624
00:36:43,900 –> 00:36:47,500
your naivety knows no bounds.
You’re that immature.

625
00:36:47,600 –> 00:36:49,500
If you don’t, if you’re young
people now and you think, you

626
00:36:49,500 –> 00:36:52,000
know, About the world were wise
up to the world.

627
00:36:52,300 –> 00:36:54,600
The world is getting to get you
from all angles.

628
00:36:54,700 –> 00:36:57,400
You’d be wise to it.
Another one was, you know that

629
00:36:57,400 –> 00:37:02,200
under deodorant, is it acts over
here acts in Australia, right?

630
00:37:02,200 –> 00:37:05,500
It’s called links in Australia,
it had a little equation on it.

631
00:37:05,500 –> 00:37:10,700
Had a head copy, a little
cartoon picture of the shower

632
00:37:10,700 –> 00:37:16,100
gel as an equation, plus use it
in the shower equals, it had

633
00:37:16,100 –> 00:37:19,300
picture of a girl in a bikini
with a squared sign above it.

634
00:37:19,500 –> 00:37:25,500
So You use axe, you will get
chicks girls squared, that’s

635
00:37:25,500 –> 00:37:29,000
what I was saying.
And well yeah, as if we jump in

636
00:37:29,000 –> 00:37:34,100
the car drive down to Walmart
and buy acts and you guys is if

637
00:37:34,100 –> 00:37:37,600
it works, look you look at me,
go if it works, I’ll tell you

638
00:37:38,500 –> 00:37:41,000
three weeks after the
advertising campaign in

639

Australia of links, came out,
they secured. 20 extra percent

640
00:37:44,900 –> 00:37:48,500

Now, guys, all I’m saying, is,
let’s be wise to it.

billion dollars a year to
consciously, stimulate a chronic

652
00:38:30,400 –> 00:38:34,200

enough and that more and more of
everything, faster.

I understand I’ve feeling it to
the pinch of trying every day to

674
00:39:44,700 –> 00:39:47,400

God is enough, thank you,

675
00:39:47,400 –> 00:39:49,200
Father.

Lot in like the parable of the
sower, allowed, the weeds and

683
00:40:14,900 –> 00:40:18,600
the Cecil’s to choke, what would
otherwise have been.

684
00:40:19,200 –> 00:40:22,800
Good fruit, and a good crop
brought forth for God.

that and brothers and sisters.
