\n00:00:13,280 –> 00:00:14,680
\nWelcome to good Christophian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:14,680 –> 00:00:15,960
\nI’m Levi.
\nI’m Chris. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:16,160 –> 00:00:18,360
\nI’m Kristin.
\nAnd I’m Brian, thank you for <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:18,360 –> 00:00:21,160
\njoining us this week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:21,160 –> 00:00:24,680
\ntalk a week to help us get the
\nBible in our Daily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:24,880 –> 00:00:28,480
\nEach week we post a talk that we
\npreviewed from suggestions sent <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:28,480 –> 00:00:29,960
\nin by listeners from around the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:30,080 –> 00:00:33,680
\nThen we record a short intro
\nbeforehand as a personalized <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:33,680 –> 00:00:36,480
\nrecommendation to you on why we
\nare sharing the talk. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:36,640 –> 00:00:39,640
\nAnd now let’s talk more about
\nthis week’s talk. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:50,440 –> 00:00:52,840
\nWelcome to the good Chris
\nAdelphian Talks podcast. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:53,040 –> 00:00:57,960
\nThis is brother Brian this
\nweek’s talk for episode 300 we <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:57,960 –> 00:01:01,440
\nreturn to where it all started
\nwith a recommended talk by <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:01,440 –> 00:01:04,480
\nbrother Bob Lloyd.
\nThis is the 4th class from a <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:04,480 –> 00:01:08,080
\nseries he gave on James back in
\n1998. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:08,440 –> 00:01:11,280
\nThe title of this particular
\nclass is Friendship with the <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:11,280 –> 00:01:14,040
\nWorld.
\nMy favorite point, or part of <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:14,040 –> 00:01:19,360
\nthis particular class, is the
\nfocus on how important the act <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:19,360 –> 00:01:25,480
\nof showing our faith is, based
\non James’s decree that pure <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:25,480 –> 00:01:29,880
\nreligion is to visit the orphans
\nin the windows in their distress<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:30,120 –> 00:01:32,680
\nand to keep yourself unspotted
\nfrom the world. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:39,320
\nAnd while a big chunk of the
\nclass and series focuses on the <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:39,320 –> 00:01:43,560
\nunspotted aspect, which I think
\nis Chris Adelphian’s We Take a <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:43,560 –> 00:01:48,000
\nLot of Pride in, it’s the first
\naspect of getting involved in <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:51,680
\nthe lives of the needy that I
\nfind even harder to do. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:51,960 –> 00:01:56,000
\nEven though it does sound so
\nsimple on the surface, it’s an <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:56,000 –> 00:02:00,880
\naspect of my own discipleship
\nthat I feel is severely lacking <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:00,880 –> 00:02:04,680
\nand that I spend a lot of time
\nthinking about but not doing <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:04,680 –> 00:02:06,960
\nenough of.
\nAnd especially as Brother Bob <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:06,960 –> 00:02:11,160
\nimportantly ties it into the
\nharsh warning from Christ <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:11,160 –> 00:02:16,160
\nHimself in Matthew 25 that those
\nwho fail to feed the hungry, <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:16,640 –> 00:02:19,560
\nclothe the naked, and visit the
\nsick essentially have a <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:19,560 –> 00:02:21,160
\njudgement already waiting for
\nthem. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:21,560 –> 00:02:25,520
\nOr as Brother Bob points out, we
\nalready know the script as you <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:25,520 –> 00:02:29,320
\nhave done it or have not done it
\nunto the least of these, you <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:29,320 –> 00:02:31,880
\nhave done it or done it not unto
\nme. <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:32,280 –> 00:02:36,760
\nFaith without works is dead.
\nAnd Brother Bob has a lot of <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:36,760 –> 00:02:41,640
\nimpactful ways of pointing out
\nhow we can go about taking <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:41,640 –> 00:02:45,880
\naction and transforming into
\ndoers of the Word and not just <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:45,880 –> 00:02:48,040
\nheroes only.
\nSo with that, I’ll turn it over <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:48,040 –> 00:02:50,720
\nto the man who actually
\nrecommended the talk himself <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:51,200 –> 00:02:54,680
\nnearly three years ago.
\nJason, what are your thoughts? <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:55,160 –> 00:02:58,320
\nThanks, Brian, and hi, everyone.
\nThis is Jason Hensley. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:58,440 –> 00:03:02,320
\nAs you know, we’re going to be
\nlistening to Uncle Bob for this <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:02,320 –> 00:03:05,520
\n300th episode, and what I just
\nwanted to contribute here is a <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:05,520 –> 00:03:07,720
\nlittle bit different.
\nThis class is all about <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:07,720 –> 00:03:11,600
\nfriendship with the world, and
\nit’s a lot of the fun, standard <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:11,600 –> 00:03:15,080
\nthings that made Uncle Bob
\nreally helpful for a lot of <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:15,080 –> 00:03:16,320
\npeople.
\nSo I think you’re going to <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:16,320 –> 00:03:18,720
\nappreciate it for that.
\nI just wanted to quickly tell a <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:18,720 –> 00:03:23,200
\nlittle bit of a story.
\nUncle Bob has a very special <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:26,600
\nplace in my heart.
\nHe was really one of my major <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:26,680 –> 00:03:29,360
\nmentors.
\nHe lived about 45 minutes away <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:29,360 –> 00:03:32,240
\nfrom my house.
\nAnd so as I was in my late <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:32,240 –> 00:03:37,560
\nteens, early 20s, I used to
\nvisit him every Friday and we <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:37,560 –> 00:03:40,160
\nwould spend a few hours together
\nevery Friday. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:40,160 –> 00:03:43,840
\nAnd it was just, it was
\nincredibly helpful and a really <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:43,840 –> 00:03:46,720
\nbig deal for me.
\nSo I just want to put out there <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:46,720 –> 00:03:52,840
\nthat I’m really excited that we
\nget to have Uncle Bob here again<\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:52,840 –> 00:03:56,440
\nfor our 300th episode.
\nI’m really thankful for the <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:56,560 –> 00:04:00,200
\nimpact that he had on me and
\nthat he had on a lot of others. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:00,480 –> 00:04:04,960
\nAnd hopefully as you listen to
\nthis episode, he will have that <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:04,960 –> 00:04:10,560
\nsame impact on you, that you
\nwill be moved, encouraged. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:10,600 –> 00:04:15,360
\nAnd I think most of all, what he
\nreally does is he motivates us <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:15,640 –> 00:04:19,880
\nand motivates us to say, because
\nI follow the Lord Jesus Christ, <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:20,120 –> 00:04:24,480
\nI am going to live differently.
\nAnd so I think you’ll experience<\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:24,480 –> 00:04:29,120
\nthat as you listen to him talk
\nabout what true religion really <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:29,120 –> 00:04:31,600
\nmeans.
\nSo with that said, I’m going to <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:31,600 –> 00:04:34,120
\ngo ahead and pass it off now to
\nLevi. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:34,560 –> 00:04:37,160
\nWow, I so enjoyed this class.
\nThis was such a fun listen. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:37,560 –> 00:04:41,320
\nUncle Bob, I think at his prime,
\nlate 90s, definitely the peak of<\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:41,320 –> 00:04:43,440
\nhis mental acuity.
\nHe’s still very much a <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:43,440 –> 00:04:45,360
\nprofessional, very active at
\nthis age. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:45,520 –> 00:04:48,200
\nI would argue he kind of does
\nslow down into the 2000s and 20 <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:48,200 –> 00:04:50,920
\ntens.
\nHis style, you know, having all <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:50,920 –> 00:04:53,520
\nthe stories and doing so much
\nillustration is perfect for <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:53,520 –> 00:04:56,080
\nbooks like James.
\nI really enjoyed the point where<\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:56,080 –> 00:04:59,440
\nhe talked about the tongue is a
\nfire, talking about how a forest<\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:59,440 –> 00:05:01,560
\nfire can be started with such a
\nsmall match. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:01,560 –> 00:05:04,160
\nAnd that is so, so true in our
\necclesial life. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:04,360 –> 00:05:06,920
\nAnd it’s something I’ve made the
\nmistake quite often that, you <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:06,920 –> 00:05:09,600
\nknow, you can say one little
\nthing and it can go on to cause <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:09,600 –> 00:05:11,440
\nso much more damage than you
\nwould ever expect. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:11,440 –> 00:05:13,320
\nWe have to be guardians of our
\ntongue. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:13,320 –> 00:05:16,200
\nWe have to be, you know, wiser
\nabout that and talk less. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:16,760 –> 00:05:18,560
\nSo, yeah, very, very thankful to
\nlisten to this. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:18,560 –> 00:05:21,600
\nIt hit me at a really good time
\nbecause our business, the <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:24,160
\nbusiness that I’m still working
\nin that Bob Lloyd technically <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:24,160 –> 00:05:27,480
\nfounded 65 years ago, the
\ninsurance industry is in <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:27,480 –> 00:05:30,280
\nCalifornia, is totally turned
\nover due to the fires. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:30,360 –> 00:05:32,720
\nWe’ve had massive forest fires.
\nAnd he kind of mentions that off<\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:32,720 –> 00:05:35,080
\nhanded 99.
\nIt’s almost prescient the way he<\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:35,080 –> 00:05:37,560
\nsays that.
\nSo super happy to share this <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:37,600 –> 00:05:39,600
\nhere for episode 300.
\nSending it over to Chris. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:40,200 –> 00:05:43,080
\nThank you, Levi.
\nThis is Chris to close us out <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:43,080 –> 00:05:46,480
\nand with one little comment
\nbefore we get over to Uncle <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:46,480 –> 00:05:49,400
\nBob’s talk.
\nFor me, the thing that stood out<\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:49,400 –> 00:05:53,360
\nin this particular talk was the
\nimportance of what visiting <\/p>\n

99
\n00:05:53,360 –> 00:05:56,080
\nmeant.
\nThis is something that I think I<\/p>\n

100
\n00:05:56,080 –> 00:06:00,160
\nhave understood more as I’ve
\ngotten a little bit older and <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:00,280 –> 00:06:04,200
\nbeing able to spend time with
\nour brothers and sisters and not<\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:04,200 –> 00:06:07,600
\njust the sort of casual, hey,
\nhow you doing, but actually <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:07,600 –> 00:06:12,680
\ngetting to spend time with them.
\nI really appreciated Jason’s <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:12,680 –> 00:06:15,920
\ncomment about the time he got to
\nspend with Uncle Bob and the <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:15,920 –> 00:06:18,520
\nimportance that that had in
\nspending time with him. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:18,880 –> 00:06:22,760
\nAnd Uncle Bob covers that in his
\nclass in a way that I think is <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:22,760 –> 00:06:26,040
\nis really, really powerful.
\nOne little anecdote that kind of<\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:26,040 –> 00:06:27,800
\ngoes off of that that I wanted
\nto share. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:28,040 –> 00:06:31,760
\nLeo I mentioned as he got older
\nand sometimes he would make <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:31,760 –> 00:06:34,640
\ncomments about how young people
\nlike to avoid the older members <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:34,640 –> 00:06:37,480
\nof the Ecclesia.
\nAnd one of my fondest memories <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:37,480 –> 00:06:40,280
\nof Uncle Bob is if there was a
\nyoung person that was trying to <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:40,280 –> 00:06:43,960
\nget by him at Verdugo Hills, he
\nwould keep trying to get ahead <\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:43,960 –> 00:06:46,400
\nof that young person to force
\nthem to have to at least <\/p>\n

115
\n00:06:46,400 –> 00:06:49,640
\nacknowledge his presence and say
\nhello before he would let them <\/p>\n

116
\n00:06:49,640 –> 00:06:51,240
\npass.
\nIt was one of his favorite <\/p>\n

117
\n00:06:51,280 –> 00:06:55,200
\nlittle games that he would play.
\nSo I just thought both that <\/p>\n

118
\n00:06:55,200 –> 00:06:58,400
\nanecdote and the story that he
\ntold really reminded me of the <\/p>\n

119
\n00:06:58,400 –> 00:07:00,920
\nimportance of visiting and
\nspending time with one another, <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:00,920 –> 00:07:05,140
\nreally understanding each other.
\nSo that was the the little take <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:05,140 –> 00:07:08,560
\naway that I had from that.
\nSo with that, I’m going to turn <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:08,560 –> 00:07:12,720
\nit over to Uncle Bob Lloyd for
\nhis class, taken from his series<\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:12,720 –> 00:07:15,600
\non James entitled Friendship
\nwith the World. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:18,120 –> 00:07:22,320
\nIf anyone was to ask you this
\nquestion, are you religious, <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:24,040 –> 00:07:26,440
\nwhat would you say?
\nWell, of course I’m religious. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:26,480 –> 00:07:31,200
\nI’m a Christadelphian.
\nI go to meeting on Sundays, I do<\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:31,200 –> 00:07:34,360
\nmy Bible readings.
\nI always give thanks before I I <\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:34,360 –> 00:07:36,760
\neat.
\nOf course I’m religious. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:07:38,320 –> 00:07:42,560
\nWell, I’m going to ask it again.
\nAre you religious? <\/p>\n

130
\n00:07:43,320 –> 00:07:47,880
\nYou really haven’t answered the
\nquestion the way James is going <\/p>\n

131
\n00:07:47,880 –> 00:07:56,080
\nto ask us to answer it.
\nWe believe that we are Bible <\/p>\n

132
\n00:07:56,080 –> 00:08:02,200
\nStudents and I believe we are.
\nBut James is going to give us a <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:02,200 –> 00:08:04,640
\ndifferent definition than
\nanything that we would have ever<\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:04,640 –> 00:08:08,840
\ncome up with had we been on our
\nhad we not had his help. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:08,880 –> 00:08:12,200
\nAnd it’s in James chapter one.
\nWe’re going to be looking at <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:12,200 –> 00:08:17,160
\nverse 26.
\nIf any man among you seem to be <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:17,160 –> 00:08:21,000
\nreligious.
\nSo I could certainly say are you<\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:21,000 –> 00:08:22,240
\nreligious?
\nAnd you could certainly say, <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:22,240 –> 00:08:27,040
\nyes, I seem to be religious.
\nBut James says, well, you might <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:27,040 –> 00:08:32,400
\nseem to be religious and you may
\nnot be religious if you don’t <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:32,400 –> 00:08:36,640
\nbridle your tongue, but you
\ndeceive your own heart. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:36,640 –> 00:08:38,200
\nHe says this man’s religion is
\nvain. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:38,200 –> 00:08:40,640
\nNow, those are very strong
\nwords. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:40,640 –> 00:08:44,000
\nI wouldn’t dare come all the way
\nfrom California up to talk to <\/p>\n

145
\n00:08:44,000 –> 00:08:46,320
\nyou wonderful brothers and
\nsisters who mostly are from <\/p>\n

146
\n00:08:46,320 –> 00:08:49,400
\nCanada and some from other
\nplaces in the world and tell you<\/p>\n

147
\n00:08:49,680 –> 00:08:53,000
\nthis, if it weren’t inspired by
\nGod. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:08:53,920 –> 00:08:59,480
\nSo we may seem to be religious
\nand not be religious if we do <\/p>\n

149
\n00:08:59,480 –> 00:09:03,760
\nnot bridle our tongue.
\nAnd then he goes on and gives us<\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:03,760 –> 00:09:06,200
\nthe definition of pure religion
\nin verse 27. <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:06,560 –> 00:09:09,080
\nPure religion is undefiled
\nbefore God, and the Father <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:09,080 –> 00:09:12,440
\nexists to visit the fatherless
\nand the widows and their <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:12,440 –> 00:09:15,720
\naffliction and to keep himself
\nunspotted from the world. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:17,960 –> 00:09:25,720
\nNow of all the things that we
\nwould cite to make us feel we’re<\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:25,720 –> 00:09:29,000
\nreligious, we would certainly
\nmention the fact that we are <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:32,880
\nChristadelphians, that we beat
\non the meet, on the Birmingham <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:32,880 –> 00:09:36,120
\nAmended Statement of Faith.
\nWe are particular who we <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:36,120 –> 00:09:39,040
\nfellowship.
\nWe call a spade a spade. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:39,560 –> 00:09:42,720
\nWe don’t mince words.
\nWe stand for purity, the <\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:42,720 –> 00:09:48,280
\ndoctrine.
\nAnd yet, all that being true and<\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:48,280 –> 00:09:53,600
\nall that being important and not
\nin any way minimizing one of <\/p>\n

162
\n00:09:53,600 –> 00:10:02,840
\nthose things, we still could not
\nbe religious because we do not <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:02,840 –> 00:10:08,440
\nwatch what we say.
\nIf we bridle, if we don’t bridle<\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:08,440 –> 00:10:12,320
\nour tongue, if we just have
\nrunning off of the mouth and we <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:12,320 –> 00:10:17,000
\njust say whatever comes into our
\nhearts and minds, we could have.<\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:17,440 –> 00:10:22,080
\nAll the truth could be vain.
\nAll the wonderful things we <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:22,080 –> 00:10:26,360
\nstand for and believe and and
\ndefend to others could all be in<\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:26,360 –> 00:10:31,880
\nvain if we don’t bridle the
\ntongue. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:34,400 –> 00:10:38,160
\nIt was that serpent’s tongue in
\nthe garden that first planted <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:38,160 –> 00:10:40,480
\nthe rebellious thought in the
\nmind of Eve. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:41,440 –> 00:10:45,080
\nAs a result of that, we know he
\nwas accursed by God. <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:46,840 –> 00:10:50,400
\nNow David tells us in the
\nPsalms, Deliver me, O Lord, from<\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:50,400 –> 00:10:54,440
\nevil men, preserve me from
\nviolent men who plan evil <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:54,440 –> 00:10:56,000
\nthings.
\nIn their hearts they continually<\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:56,000 –> 00:10:58,640
\ngather together for war.
\nThey sharpen their tongues like <\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:58,640 –> 00:11:00,880
\na serpent.
\nThe poison of ASP is under their<\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:00,880 –> 00:11:03,080
\nlips.
\nWell, that’s not us, of course, <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:03,160 –> 00:11:06,000
\nbut that’s we’re who we’re being
\nwarned about. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:06,720 –> 00:11:09,720
\nBut this little tongue of ours
\nis an amazing instrument. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:10,480 –> 00:11:14,400
\nIt’s quite small.
\nI don’t know if you ever see New<\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:14,400 –> 00:11:17,680
\nZealanders, but in the New
\nZealand war dances, the New <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:17,680 –> 00:11:20,760
\nZealander warriors, they stick
\ntheir tongues out at you and I <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:20,760 –> 00:11:22,680
\nguess they practice it.
\nTheir tongue comes all the way <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:22,680 –> 00:11:27,520
\ndown here.
\nThey must, I don’t know, it may <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:27,520 –> 00:11:30,120
\njust New Zealanders have all New
\nZealanders have long tongues. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:32,760 –> 00:11:35,320
\nBut when you go to a doctor,
\nwhat does he do? <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:35,320 –> 00:11:38,840
\nHe says, well stick out your
\ntongue and he looks at it and he<\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:38,840 –> 00:11:41,800
\ncan tell pretty much your
\ncondition of your health by <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:46,840
\nlooking at your tongue and James
\nto sell say you we can determine<\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:46,840 –> 00:11:50,320
\nthe determine we can determine
\nthe condition of your spiritual <\/p>\n

191
\n00:11:50,320 –> 00:11:54,560
\nhealth with that same little
\ninstrument. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:11:56,880 –> 00:12:01,120
\nJesus said out of the abundance
\nof the heart, the mouth speaks <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:02,680 –> 00:12:05,520
\nand first Peter, Peter, of
\ncourse we’ve looked at this <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:05,520 –> 00:12:07,760
\nbefore.
\nPeter and and James are on the <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:07,760 –> 00:12:12,280
\nsame wavelength and he says for
\nhe who would love life and see <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:12,280 –> 00:12:16,000
\ngood days, let him refrain his
\ntongue from evil and his lips <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:16,000 –> 00:12:18,720
\nfrom speaking deceit.
\nBut when he said that, he’s <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:18,720 –> 00:12:21,280
\nquoting Psalm 34, which is back
\nto David again. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:22,560 –> 00:12:28,360
\nAnd of course, if you in verse
\n26 of James one any among you <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:28,440 –> 00:12:31,080
\nthinks he is religious and does
\nnot bide his tongue, you’re <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:31,080 –> 00:12:34,080
\ndeceiving your own heart and
\nyour religion is useless <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:34,080 –> 00:12:38,400
\naccording to the new King James.
\nNow we just read chapter 3 of <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:38,400 –> 00:12:40,880
\nJames and we’re going to look at
\nsome of those verses again <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:40,880 –> 00:12:44,840
\nbecause the word tongue is all
\nthe way through of those verses.<\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:45,480 –> 00:12:48,440
\nTurning to chapter 3, coming in
\nat verse 2. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:48,480 –> 00:12:53,000
\nFor we all stumble in many ways.
\nIf anyone does not stumble in <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:53,000 –> 00:12:56,800
\nWord, he is a perfect man, able
\nalso to bridle the whole bottle <\/p>\n

208
\n00:12:56,880 –> 00:13:00,320
\nbody.
\nIndeed, we put in horses mouths,<\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:00,960 –> 00:13:03,400
\nwe put bits in horses mouths
\nthat they may obey us. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:03,720 –> 00:13:07,560
\nWe turn their whole body, Look
\nout at the ships. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:08,080 –> 00:13:11,240
\nAlthough they are so large and
\ndriven by such fierce winds, <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:11,240 –> 00:13:14,400
\nthey are turned by a very small
\nrudder wherever the pilot <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:14,400 –> 00:13:19,360
\ndesires.
\nEven so, the tongue is a little <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:19,360 –> 00:13:25,280
\nmember and boasts great things.
\nSee how great a forest A little <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:25,280 –> 00:13:29,160
\nfire Kindles, and the tongue is
\na fire of iniquity. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:29,600 –> 00:13:33,160
\nThe tongue is so set among our
\nmembers that it defiles the the <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:33,160 –> 00:13:35,680
\nwhole body.
\nYour whole body can be destroyed<\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:35,680 –> 00:13:41,840
\nby your tongue, James says.
\nFor verse 7, Every kind of beast<\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:41,840 –> 00:13:44,800
\nand bird and reptile and
\ncreature of the sea is tamed and<\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:44,800 –> 00:13:48,440
\nhas been tamed by mankind, but
\nno man can tame the tongue. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:48,480 –> 00:13:51,440
\nIt is an unruly evil full of
\ndeadly poison. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:52,680 –> 00:13:57,000
\nWith our tongue we bless our God
\nand Father, and with our tongue <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:57,560 –> 00:14:01,880
\nwe curse men who have been made
\nin the similitude of God. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:02,760 –> 00:14:06,960
\nOut of the same mouth precede
\nblessings and cursings. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:06,960 –> 00:14:10,000
\nMy brethren, these things ought
\nnot so to be. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:11,160 –> 00:14:14,040
\nDoes the spring bring forth
\nfresh water and bitter from the <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:14,040 –> 00:14:16,400
\nsame opening?
\nCan a fig tree, my brother, and <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:16,400 –> 00:14:21,640
\nbare olives or grape figs?
\nNo, no, spring yields both salt <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:21,640 –> 00:14:27,960
\nwater and fresh.
\nJust think of the the damage <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:28,480 –> 00:14:31,960
\nthat can be done to us by our
\ntongue. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:33,320 –> 00:14:37,560
\nJames compares it to a fire.
\nWe know we live in a We’re in a <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:37,560 –> 00:14:40,880
\nbeautiful area where forest
\nfires could be devastating. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:41,360 –> 00:14:45,920
\nWith one little match, you can
\nstart a fire that can destroy <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:45,920 –> 00:14:50,320
\nthousands of acres and many
\nhomes and much wildlife and <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:50,320 –> 00:14:55,640
\nsometimes people.
\nMissus O’leary’s cow kicked over<\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:55,640 –> 00:14:59,440
\na Lantern, and the whole city of
\nChicago burnt down as a result. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:01,040 –> 00:15:03,600
\nSo the tongue is like that, says
\nJames. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:04,200 –> 00:15:07,840
\nHe can start something that it
\ncannot stop. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:09,360 –> 00:15:11,960
\nHe says no man has ever been
\nable to tame the tongue. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:12,880 –> 00:15:16,120
\nBut the good news is that God
\ncan remember. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:16,120 –> 00:15:20,280
\nOn one occasion Jesus met a
\nWildman and he drawed among the <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:20,280 –> 00:15:22,760
\ntombs, and he wore no clothes,
\nand he cried out to Jesus. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:22,880 –> 00:15:25,920
\nWhat am I to do with you, Jesus,
\nour Son of God Most High? <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:26,280 –> 00:15:33,560
\nI beseech you to torment me not.
\nJesus tamed the untamable, and <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:33,560 –> 00:15:39,240
\nwe next see him sitting and
\nclothed, and in his right mind <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:40,680 –> 00:15:44,040
\nwe see the young man’s soul
\nbreathing out threatenings and <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:44,040 –> 00:15:45,680
\nslaughters against the
\ndisciples. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:46,720 –> 00:15:48,920
\nAnd through Jesus his tongue is
\ntamed. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:48,920 –> 00:15:54,040
\nAnd he says, Lord, what wilt
\nthou have me to do? <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:56,040 –> 00:15:58,040
\nDavid has a lot to say about the
\ntongue. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:58,640 –> 00:16:02,440
\nLet the words of my mouth and
\nthe meditation of my heart be <\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:02,440 –> 00:16:08,160
\nacceptable in Thy sight, O Lord,
\nMy strength and my Redeemer. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:09,880 –> 00:16:12,160
\nSet a guard, O Lord, over my
\nmouth. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:13,320 –> 00:16:16,400
\nKeep watch over the door of my
\nlips. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:16,560 –> 00:16:20,840
\nThis is David asking God’s help
\nin taming his tongue. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:23,360 –> 00:16:28,600
\nI said I will guard my ways lest
\nI sin with my tongue. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:30,120 –> 00:16:32,200
\nI will restrain my mouth with a
\nmuzzle. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:32,880 –> 00:16:39,400
\nAll the wicked are before me.
\nSo coming back to James, we have<\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:39,400 –> 00:16:43,280
\nJames telling us that no man can
\ntame the tongue without God’s <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:43,280 –> 00:16:47,760
\nhelp.
\nWe we are hopeless, no matter <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:47,760 –> 00:16:51,080
\nhow faithful we might be, at all
\nthe things which we consider <\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:51,080 –> 00:16:53,360
\nimportant to be a good Christian
\nalphion. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:54,600 –> 00:17:02,600
\nIf we talk too much, if we
\ngossip, if we betray the <\/p>\n

264
\n00:17:02,600 –> 00:17:06,839
\nconfidence of those who have
\nconfided in us, if we spread <\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:06,839 –> 00:17:15,400
\nrumors, not just rumors, if we
\nspread the truth that ought not <\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:15,400 –> 00:17:22,280
\nbe told, well, it was true.
\nWell, it might be true, but it <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:22,280 –> 00:17:29,960
\nmight not be kind, it might not
\nedify, it might not help. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:31,600 –> 00:17:36,280
\nSo out of our same mouth, we
\ncome to a meeting and we talk <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:36,280 –> 00:17:38,480
\nabout the truth and how
\nwonderful it is. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:39,520 –> 00:17:45,880
\nAnd then we say things to and
\nabout others that hurt and wound<\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:46,840 –> 00:17:52,720
\nand destroy.
\nAnd James says you might be a <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:52,720 –> 00:17:59,720
\nChristadelphian, but your
\nreligion is in vain. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:18:02,400 –> 00:18:06,400
\nSo this is this is the kind of
\nthing we need to take home with <\/p>\n

274
\n00:18:06,440 –> 00:18:12,040
\nus because it’s so important
\nthat we think before we speak <\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:13,240 –> 00:18:20,960
\nthat we consider will this help
\nor hurt some in, in in Paul’s <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:20,960 –> 00:18:24,240
\nday, those that lived in Athens,
\nthey, they only wanted to learn,<\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:24,240 –> 00:18:28,280
\nhear and tell some new things.
\nAnd I don’t know if you have the<\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:28,280 –> 00:18:31,560
\nChristadelphian Grapevine up
\nhere as we do down our way, <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:32,080 –> 00:18:35,800
\nsomething can happen and it
\nspreads all over so fast. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:36,320 –> 00:18:38,760
\nNow we have a Christadelphian
\ntree in our ecclesia. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:38,760 –> 00:18:42,040
\nWe call it a tree because in
\norder to get word out. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:42,840 –> 00:18:46,480
\nBut if someone hears something
\nthat they should be told, they <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:46,480 –> 00:18:49,080
\ntell these and these tell these
\nand pretty soon they’ll hold <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:49,080 –> 00:18:52,080
\necclesias.
\nNo, they’ve it’s been said this <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:52,080 –> 00:18:55,520
\nis not true that the fastest
\ncommunication or telephone <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:55,520 –> 00:19:00,960
\nTelegraph and tell a woman I
\nalready said it wasn’t true. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:19:06,840 –> 00:19:13,280
\nHebrews 11 I mean hymn 111, one
\nof my favorite hymns. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:19:13,320 –> 00:19:18,920
\nThe second verse goes like this.
\nTake my voice and let me sing <\/p>\n

289
\n00:19:19,080 –> 00:19:27,240
\nAlways, only or for my King.
\nTake my lips and let them be <\/p>\n

290
\n00:19:27,920 –> 00:19:35,680
\nfilled with messages from Thee.
\nSo let’s watch what we say. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:35,680 –> 00:19:38,480
\nWe are responsible for what we
\nsay. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:19:38,840 –> 00:19:43,440
\nWe talked yesterday about Moses
\nwhen he spoke unadvisedly with <\/p>\n

293
\n00:19:43,440 –> 00:19:47,680
\nhis lips, and as a result he was
\nkept out of the Promised land. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:48,440 –> 00:19:54,040
\nWe must be careful what we say.
\nIf we just learn to stop before <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:54,040 –> 00:19:58,000
\nwe speak, take a moment to say,
\nwill this help? <\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:59,200 –> 00:20:01,560
\nWill this encourage or
\ndiscourage? <\/p>\n

297
\n00:20:01,560 –> 00:20:04,000
\nWill it?
\nWill it send someone away or <\/p>\n

298
\n00:20:04,000 –> 00:20:08,840
\nbring them closer to God?
\nAnd don’t take comfort in <\/p>\n

299
\n00:20:08,840 –> 00:20:11,800
\ntelling something just because
\nit’s true. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:20:11,800 –> 00:20:16,520
\nThere are a lot of true things
\nthat are terrible, and if we <\/p>\n

301
\n00:20:16,520 –> 00:20:21,640
\nknow something, that won’t help.
\nOr let it stay with us. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:20:23,480 –> 00:20:26,120
\nSo James is now bringing us to
\nthis definition of pure <\/p>\n

303
\n00:20:26,120 –> 00:20:28,520
\nreligion.
\nWe’ve just learned that the <\/p>\n

304
\n00:20:28,520 –> 00:20:32,240
\nperson who does not control his
\ntongue, his religion, is vain. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:20:32,800 –> 00:20:34,920
\nNow he’s going to turn to
\nsomething positive. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:20:35,520 –> 00:20:37,640
\nWe talk about the negative, and
\nnow we’re going to talk about <\/p>\n

307
\n00:20:37,640 –> 00:20:39,920
\nthe positive.
\nAgain, this is not the <\/p>\n

308
\n00:20:39,920 –> 00:20:42,240
\ndefinition that Christadaphians
\nwould give. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:20:42,600 –> 00:20:44,520
\nI won’t give you a definition of
\npure religion. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:20:44,520 –> 00:20:46,680
\nAnd we would immediately bring
\nup the Birmingham Mental <\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:46,680 –> 00:20:49,080
\nStatement of Faith.
\nWe would talk about the <\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:49,080 –> 00:20:51,800
\nexceeding great and precious
\npromises made to the Father, to <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:51,800 –> 00:20:55,880
\nthe to the patriarchs.
\nWe would condemn the false <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:55,960 –> 00:20:58,840
\ncreeds of Christendom that
\ncontradict the true teachings. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:58,960 –> 00:21:00,640
\nAnd we would be right in all of
\nthat. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:21:01,560 –> 00:21:03,320
\nBut that’s not what James talks
\nabout. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:21:04,240 –> 00:21:07,320
\nHe doesn’t say that at all.
\nNot that we’re minimizing those <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:07,320 –> 00:21:09,000
\nthings.
\nPlease don’t misunderstand this.<\/p>\n

319
\n00:21:09,000 –> 00:21:10,280
\nAnd I don’t believe these are
\nimportant. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:21:10,280 –> 00:21:13,440
\nI believe they are important.
\nBut if we don’t do what he’s <\/p>\n

321
\n00:21:13,440 –> 00:21:15,880
\ngoing to say next, it doesn’t
\nmatter what you believe. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:21:16,720 –> 00:21:20,600
\nIt doesn’t matter how pure your
\ndoctrine is and how straight <\/p>\n

323
\n00:21:20,600 –> 00:21:24,440
\nyour fellowship is.
\nIf we’re not doing what he next <\/p>\n

324
\n00:21:24,440 –> 00:21:31,840
\nsays to do, he’s going to say
\npure religion and undefiled <\/p>\n

325
\n00:21:33,040 –> 00:21:42,720
\nbefore God and the Father.
\nIs this to visit orphans and <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:42,720 –> 00:21:46,800
\nwidows in their trouble and keep
\nhimself unspotted from the <\/p>\n

327
\n00:21:46,800 –> 00:21:50,600
\nworld?
\nWe would never come up with that<\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:50,600 –> 00:21:52,400
\ndefinition if James didn’t help
\nus. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:54,000 –> 00:21:59,520
\nNow, Brother Neville Smart wrote
\na book on the book of James, and<\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:59,520 –> 00:22:02,160
\nI’m going to quote a little bit
\nfrom his book because he talked <\/p>\n

331
\n00:22:02,160 –> 00:22:06,160
\nabout the word visit.
\nAnd when we we might have a <\/p>\n

332
\n00:22:06,160 –> 00:22:09,560
\ndifferent definition of visit
\nthan the one he’s going to share<\/p>\n

333
\n00:22:09,560 –> 00:22:11,640
\nwith us.
\nI mean, sometimes we go to visit<\/p>\n

334
\n00:22:11,640 –> 00:22:13,680
\nsomebody and we pop in and say,
\nhow are you? <\/p>\n

335
\n00:22:13,680 –> 00:22:15,000
\nAnd they, they say, I’m
\nterrible. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:22:15,000 –> 00:22:16,320
\nHe says, that’s good.
\nAnd you’re gone again. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:22:16,320 –> 00:22:20,200
\nYou know, visit, it takes some
\ntime. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:22:21,040 –> 00:22:26,400
\nVisits takes a part of you.
\nYou you can’t visit without <\/p>\n

339
\n00:22:27,200 –> 00:22:29,520
\nmaking a personal sacrifice to
\ndo so. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:22:30,760 –> 00:22:42,040
\nAnd so brother Smart quotes 333
\nplaces in Luke Pardons to our <\/p>\n

341
\n00:22:42,040 –> 00:22:47,000
\nbrother Peter.
\nLuke 1 and 68 Blessed is the <\/p>\n

342
\n00:22:47,000 –> 00:22:52,000
\nLord God of Israel, for he has
\nvisited and redeemed His people,<\/p>\n

343
\n00:22:52,960 –> 00:22:56,880
\nLuke 178 through the tender
\nmercy of our God, with which the<\/p>\n

344
\n00:22:56,880 –> 00:23:00,440
\nDayspring from on high has
\nvisited us. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:23:01,080 –> 00:23:06,760
\nAnd Luke 7 verse 16 Then fear
\ncame on all upon all, and they <\/p>\n

346
\n00:23:06,760 –> 00:23:10,120
\nglorified God, saying, a great
\nprophet has risen up among us <\/p>\n

347
\n00:23:10,400 –> 00:23:17,640
\nand God has visited his people.
\nSo brother Smart comments on <\/p>\n

348
\n00:23:17,640 –> 00:23:19,600
\nthat.
\nAnd he says this visiting was a <\/p>\n

349
\n00:23:19,600 –> 00:23:24,000
\ntestimony to the interest and
\nthe sympathy and the love of God<\/p>\n

350
\n00:23:24,400 –> 00:23:28,560
\nin regard to man.
\nSo when James exhorts his <\/p>\n

351
\n00:23:28,720 –> 00:23:33,200
\nreaders to visit, he’s
\nsuggesting much more than a mere<\/p>\n

352
\n00:23:33,200 –> 00:23:35,520
\nvisit in our modern sense of the
\nterm. <\/p>\n

353
\n00:23:36,280 –> 00:23:41,200
\nHe implies we must manifest a a
\nlively interest in the needs of <\/p>\n

354
\n00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:45,600
\nothers and earnest, warm hearted
\nsolicitude of their well-being. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:23:46,240 –> 00:23:50,280
\nOnly by such an attitude do we
\nshow ourselves to be children, <\/p>\n

356
\n00:23:50,280 –> 00:23:55,920
\nindeed of the Father who visited
\nus in our own need. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:23:57,120 –> 00:24:00,280
\nOther virgins say, take care of
\norphans and widows, go to the <\/p>\n

358
\n00:24:00,280 –> 00:24:03,280
\nhelp of orphans and widows, look
\nafter others. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:24:04,000 –> 00:24:07,160
\nThe only picture we have of the
\njudgment seat of Christ has this<\/p>\n

360
\n00:24:07,240 –> 00:24:09,680
\nsubject.
\nAnd we all know this. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:24:09,680 –> 00:24:12,520
\nIt’s in Matthew 25.
\nAnd I, I, I only stir up your <\/p>\n

362
\n00:24:12,520 –> 00:24:14,160
\npure minds by way of
\nremembrance. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:24:14,680 –> 00:24:17,240
\nBut this is a picture of the
\njudgment seat. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:24:18,080 –> 00:24:23,600
\nMy brother says you’re gonna be
\nthere, you’re gonna be there. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:24:25,240 –> 00:24:27,280
\nYou’re gonna be there if you’re
\nready or not. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:24:28,560 –> 00:24:31,000
\nYou’re gonna be there if you
\nwant to be there or not. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:24:32,080 –> 00:24:37,480
\nWe’re all gonna be there.
\nAnd this is what the King will <\/p>\n

368
\n00:24:37,480 –> 00:24:42,480
\nsay to you and to me.
\nWe already have the script. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:24:46,640 –> 00:24:53,160
\nThen shall the King say unto
\nthem on his right hand, Come, <\/p>\n

370
\n00:24:54,800 –> 00:25:00,280
\ncome ye blessed of my father,
\ninherit the Kingdom prepared for<\/p>\n

371
\n00:25:00,280 –> 00:25:02,640
\nyou from the foundation of the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:25:03,400 –> 00:25:05,640
\nAnd those are the words we long
\nto hear. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:25:06,440 –> 00:25:10,040
\nBut he’s going to tell us why
\nwe’re on the right hand and <\/p>\n

374
\n00:25:10,040 –> 00:25:12,160
\nothers, you’re going to tell him
\nwhy he’s on their left hand. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:25:12,160 –> 00:25:14,240
\nWhen he says, depart from me.
\nI don’t even know who you are. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:25:15,480 –> 00:25:19,320
\nAnd, and, and the same reason is
\nwhy you’re on this side or <\/p>\n

377
\n00:25:19,320 –> 00:25:22,800
\nyou’re on that side.
\nAnd so he goes on to say, for I <\/p>\n

378
\n00:25:22,800 –> 00:25:27,160
\nwas unhungered.
\nYou gave me meat. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:25:29,320 –> 00:25:31,880
\nI was thirsty and you gave me
\ndrink. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:25:33,480 –> 00:25:36,640
\nI was a stranger.
\nYou took me in naked and you <\/p>\n

381
\n00:25:36,640 –> 00:25:38,760
\nclothed me.
\nI was sick and you visited me. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:25:38,760 –> 00:25:41,200
\nI was in prison and you came in.
\nWe don’t remember doing that for<\/p>\n

383
\n00:25:41,200 –> 00:25:41,960
\nyou.
\nJesus. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:25:45,240 –> 00:25:48,440
\nEat as much.
\nYou should have done it until <\/p>\n

385
\n00:25:48,440 –> 00:25:50,520
\none of the least of these, my
\nbrethren. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:25:51,920 –> 00:25:58,840
\nYou’ve done it unto me.
\nSo James and Jesus are in <\/p>\n

387
\n00:25:58,840 –> 00:26:07,240
\nagreement that this is pure
\nreligion and we’d better listen.<\/p>\n

388
\n00:26:08,200 –> 00:26:11,320
\nNo, we’d better do more than
\nlisten. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:26:12,360 –> 00:26:16,480
\nWe’re to be doers of the Word
\nand not hearers. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:26:16,480 –> 00:26:20,920
\nOnly Apostle John agrees with
\nthis. <\/p>\n

391
\n00:26:20,920 –> 00:26:24,680
\nWhoso hath this world’s good,
\nsee if his brother have need, <\/p>\n

392
\n00:26:24,680 –> 00:26:27,360
\nand shut up with his bowels of
\ncompassion from him. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:26:27,960 –> 00:26:29,680
\nHow dwelleth the love of God in
\nhim? <\/p>\n

394
\n00:26:30,840 –> 00:26:34,880
\nYou, you know a brother or
\nsister that’s having a tough <\/p>\n

395
\n00:26:34,880 –> 00:26:38,520
\ntime, and you’re not doing
\nanything about it. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:26:39,840 –> 00:26:41,960
\nHow can the love of God dwell in
\nyou? <\/p>\n

397
\n00:26:42,200 –> 00:26:47,480
\nSays James.
\nJohn, My little children, let us<\/p>\n

398
\n00:26:47,480 –> 00:26:54,280
\nnot love in Word, neither in
\ntongue, but in deed and in <\/p>\n

399
\n00:26:54,280 –> 00:27:00,560
\ntruth.
\nJames, when he comes to compare <\/p>\n

400
\n00:27:00,560 –> 00:27:05,800
\nfaith in works, uses the same
\nexample in James 214. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:27:05,800 –> 00:27:07,640
\nWhat does it profit, my
\nbrethren? <\/p>\n

402
\n00:27:08,120 –> 00:27:10,240
\nThe old man say he hath faith
\nand hath not works. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:27:10,240 –> 00:27:14,280
\nCan faith save me save him?
\nIf my brother or sister be naked<\/p>\n

404
\n00:27:14,280 –> 00:27:17,800
\nor destitute of daily food and
\none of you say unto him, <\/p>\n

405
\n00:27:17,800 –> 00:27:21,080
\ndeparted peace be warmed and
\nfilled, it’s going to be all <\/p>\n

406
\n00:27:21,080 –> 00:27:22,480
\nright.
\nDon’t worry about it. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:27:24,320 –> 00:27:28,880
\nYou don’t do anything.
\nHe said what does that prophet <\/p>\n

408
\n00:27:30,560 –> 00:27:34,600
\nso so how, how, how are we
\nmeasuring up to pure religion <\/p>\n

409
\n00:27:34,600 –> 00:27:43,240
\nand undefiled before gone the
\nsisters that are busy helping <\/p>\n

410
\n00:27:43,240 –> 00:27:47,720
\nother sisters in rest homes
\nvisiting the sick. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:27:47,840 –> 00:27:50,560
\nThe visiting committee on an
\necclesia is probably one of the <\/p>\n

412
\n00:27:50,560 –> 00:27:52,480
\nmost important.
\nWe think, Oh the exhorting <\/p>\n

413
\n00:27:52,480 –> 00:27:56,120
\nbrethren visiting is more
\nimportant. <\/p>\n

414
\n00:27:57,600 –> 00:28:04,440
\nWe need to care about each other
\nin in very real ways. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:28:07,520 –> 00:28:13,320
\nWhen was the last time that you
\nvisited one of those, we call <\/p>\n

416
\n00:28:13,320 –> 00:28:15,640
\nthem convalescent hospitals over
\nour way. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:28:17,320 –> 00:28:22,480
\nIt’s pitiful to go to them.
\nThere’s so many people in there <\/p>\n

418
\n00:28:22,480 –> 00:28:24,880
\nthat are they they send you
\nthere to die. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:28:26,320 –> 00:28:29,320
\nMost of them never come out
\nalive. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:28:31,240 –> 00:28:36,360
\nAnd while a lot of them are out
\nof their mind, we stopped at a <\/p>\n

421
\n00:28:36,360 –> 00:28:40,240
\nconvalescent hospital halfway
\nhere in Medford, OR to visit <\/p>\n

422
\n00:28:40,440 –> 00:28:43,760
\nsomebody that won’t even know we
\nwere there because his mind is <\/p>\n

423
\n00:28:43,760 –> 00:28:49,440
\ngone.
\nBut the sister wife was saying <\/p>\n

424
\n00:28:49,440 –> 00:28:53,960
\nsome members of the ecclesia
\nwon’t visit this man because <\/p>\n

425
\n00:28:53,960 –> 00:28:56,800
\nhe’s out of his head anyway.
\nWhat does he, what will he know?<\/p>\n

426
\n00:28:58,880 –> 00:29:02,160
\nAnd then I don’t think they
\nrealize how much she’s hurting <\/p>\n

427
\n00:29:02,480 –> 00:29:06,920
\nbecause they won’t visit her
\nhusband who is out of his mind. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:29:07,480 –> 00:29:09,080
\nHe does smile.
\nYou don’t know. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:29:09,080 –> 00:29:13,080
\nYou don’t know what’s going on
\nwhen you talk to somebody like <\/p>\n

430
\n00:29:13,080 –> 00:29:15,920
\nthat.
\nThe subconscious mind, some <\/p>\n

431
\n00:29:15,920 –> 00:29:24,320
\nthings get through.
\nI think sometimes we don’t <\/p>\n

432
\n00:29:24,320 –> 00:29:30,400
\nrealize how how important it is
\njust just to sit and hold a hand<\/p>\n

433
\n00:29:30,400 –> 00:29:34,840
\nand say a prayer over someone
\nwho who could even be in a coma.<\/p>\n

434
\n00:29:35,240 –> 00:29:41,000
\nThey say people in comas can
\nhear a little Side Story on <\/p>\n

435
\n00:29:41,040 –> 00:29:43,480
\nthis.
\nA family had a, had a, had a <\/p>\n

436
\n00:29:43,480 –> 00:29:47,560
\nfather that was dying.
\nAnd the family all gathered at <\/p>\n

437
\n00:29:47,560 –> 00:29:51,520
\nthe bedside and they, they, they
\nknew that he had very short time<\/p>\n

438
\n00:29:51,520 –> 00:29:53,200
\nto live.
\nAnd they said to the doctor, <\/p>\n

439
\n00:29:53,200 –> 00:29:56,680
\nwell, what, what do we see?
\nWhat do we do, you know, And he <\/p>\n

440
\n00:29:56,680 –> 00:30:00,240
\nwas in a coma.
\nAnd the, the doctor said, why <\/p>\n

441
\n00:30:00,240 –> 00:30:02,720
\ndon’t you just stand around his
\nbedside and talk about <\/p>\n

442
\n00:30:03,640 –> 00:30:07,280
\nexperiences that that you all
\nremember together as a family. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:30:08,400 –> 00:30:10,560
\nAnd I guess this man was
\nsomewhat of a character. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:30:11,120 –> 00:30:13,600
\nAnd so all the children started
\nrecalling different things that <\/p>\n

445
\n00:30:13,600 –> 00:30:17,320
\nDaddy had done over the years.
\nAnd as they were, were telling <\/p>\n

446
\n00:30:17,320 –> 00:30:20,040
\nyou remember when Daddy did this
\nand they would all be laughing. <\/p>\n

447
\n00:30:20,560 –> 00:30:22,440
\nAnd they, we had, well, you
\nknow, dad did that. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:30:22,440 –> 00:30:25,480
\nAnd they were all laughing and,
\nand they looked down and he was <\/p>\n

449
\n00:30:25,480 –> 00:30:31,120
\nlaughing and he died.
\nTrue story. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:30:31,880 –> 00:30:36,880
\nHe died laughing at the happy
\nthings that his family were <\/p>\n

451
\n00:30:36,880 –> 00:30:41,400
\nrecalling about his life.
\nAnd nobody thought he they, they<\/p>\n

452
\n00:30:41,440 –> 00:30:43,120
\ndidn’t know he was here
\nlistening. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:30:44,400 –> 00:30:48,120
\nIt went through until he in that
\nsubconscious mind, he was <\/p>\n

454
\n00:30:48,120 –> 00:30:51,840
\nlaughing and that they as he
\nlaughed, he breathed his last. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:30:52,000 –> 00:30:54,480
\nSo what a nice way to go, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n

456
\n00:30:55,520 –> 00:30:58,200
\nBut you see, you’re needed
\nthere. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:30:58,200 –> 00:30:59,680
\nYou can say, well, why should I
\ngo see them? <\/p>\n

458
\n00:30:59,680 –> 00:31:05,040
\nYou’re in a coma.
\nI don’t think very many of us <\/p>\n

459
\n00:31:05,120 –> 00:31:10,800
\nenjoy visiting people in some of
\nthese places. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:31:12,240 –> 00:31:15,720
\nI know my own mother was in one
\nfor years and years and years. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:31:15,720 –> 00:31:19,960
\nAnd I went to see her every day.
\nI went to see her just a few <\/p>\n

462
\n00:31:19,960 –> 00:31:21,720
\nhours before she died.
\nBut I didn’t know she was going <\/p>\n

463
\n00:31:21,720 –> 00:31:23,880
\nto die.
\nI wouldn’t have left because she<\/p>\n

464
\n00:31:23,880 –> 00:31:27,760
\nwas in that same situation for,
\nfor for for months. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:31:28,720 –> 00:31:32,760
\nAnd I went to see her and I left
\nand I went to calling the <\/p>\n

466
\n00:31:32,760 –> 00:31:34,440
\ncustomer.
\nWhen I got there, they, they <\/p>\n

467
\n00:31:34,440 –> 00:31:36,920
\nphoned and rang and they said
\nyou have a message, your mother <\/p>\n

468
\n00:31:36,920 –> 00:31:38,640
\njust died and went right back to
\nthe home. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:31:38,640 –> 00:31:41,480
\nAnd there she was.
\nShe just just as I’d left her <\/p>\n

470
\n00:31:42,040 –> 00:31:43,280
\nbefore.
\nThey hadn’t even come to take <\/p>\n

471
\n00:31:43,280 –> 00:31:46,040
\nher away yet.
\nOf course I felt terrible to <\/p>\n

472
\n00:31:46,040 –> 00:31:49,200
\nthink that I had left and not be
\nwith her at the time of it. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:31:49,280 –> 00:31:52,440
\nBut no one knows.
\nBut when Peggy’s father was <\/p>\n

474
\n00:31:52,440 –> 00:31:55,080
\ngoing to die, he, he lived there
\nalmost 102. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:31:55,280 –> 00:31:56,960
\nThey said he’s not going to live
\nthrough the night. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:31:58,520 –> 00:32:00,440
\nSo we decided we were going to
\nstake out. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:32:00,440 –> 00:32:03,520
\nWe we stayed with him all night.
\nThey said he will not live till <\/p>\n

478
\n00:32:03,520 –> 00:32:06,720
\nmorning.
\nAnd so because he was totally <\/p>\n

479
\n00:32:06,720 –> 00:32:08,880
\ndeaf, we knew that he couldn’t
\nhear. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:32:09,480 –> 00:32:11,240
\nSo we kept physical contact with
\nhim. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:32:11,280 –> 00:32:15,040
\nWe took turns holding his hand,
\nrubbing him and kissing him and <\/p>\n

482
\n00:32:15,040 –> 00:32:17,760
\nthat kind of thing.
\nHe didn’t die till 6:00 in the <\/p>\n

483
\n00:32:17,760 –> 00:32:21,200
\nmorning.
\nHe lasted all night and we <\/p>\n

484
\n00:32:21,200 –> 00:32:24,280
\nwatched him die, but we were
\nthere. <\/p>\n

485
\n00:32:27,200 –> 00:32:30,680
\nThat’s what God wants us to do
\nis to be there with others when <\/p>\n

486
\n00:32:30,680 –> 00:32:34,440
\nthey need us.
\nAnd you can’t do it by remote <\/p>\n

487
\n00:32:34,440 –> 00:32:37,840
\ncontrol.
\nIt is good to clone. <\/p>\n

488
\n00:32:37,840 –> 00:32:42,240
\nThat is good.
\nAnd when you, when you know <\/p>\n

489
\n00:32:42,240 –> 00:32:46,000
\nsomeone is not well and you can
\nreach it by phone, you can talk <\/p>\n

490
\n00:32:46,000 –> 00:32:48,800
\nto them.
\nI’ve, I’ve prayed and cried on <\/p>\n

491
\n00:32:48,800 –> 00:32:51,920
\nthe phone with people.
\nI had a phone call one night. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:32:51,920 –> 00:32:56,560
\nIt was about 11:00 at night and
\nit was a sister. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:32:56,560 –> 00:32:59,320
\nShe says you don’t know who I am
\nbut I’m going to kill myself <\/p>\n

494
\n00:32:59,320 –> 00:33:02,560
\ntonight.
\nIt’s 2:00 in the morning where I<\/p>\n

495
\n00:33:02,560 –> 00:33:05,520
\nlive so I figured out she was
\nsomewhere on the East Coast 3 <\/p>\n

496
\n00:33:05,520 –> 00:33:08,280
\nhours from me.
\nShe says my husband is already <\/p>\n

497
\n00:33:08,280 –> 00:33:10,800
\nasleep and she says when he
\nwakes up in the morning I’ll be <\/p>\n

498
\n00:33:10,800 –> 00:33:13,440
\ndead.
\nBut I had to tell somebody I <\/p>\n

499
\n00:33:13,440 –> 00:33:19,520
\nthought I’d call you.
\nSo we I thought can’t hang up on<\/p>\n

500
\n00:33:19,520 –> 00:33:22,000
\nthis lady.
\nWe just kept talking. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:33:22,840 –> 00:33:26,000
\nWe talked and we prayed and we
\ncried together. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:33:26,880 –> 00:33:29,800
\nAnd the happy thing is she
\ndidn’t do it that night. <\/p>\n

503
\n00:33:29,960 –> 00:33:31,480
\nI think she was just reaching
\nout. <\/p>\n

504
\n00:33:32,360 –> 00:33:35,960
\nShe probably was needed someone
\nto talk to. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:33:36,760 –> 00:33:41,800
\nSometimes that’s all you need to
\ndo is just be there to, to <\/p>\n

506
\n00:33:42,000 –> 00:33:47,800
\nsomeone to talk to.
\nAbraham Lincoln was president of<\/p>\n

507
\n00:33:47,800 –> 00:33:51,040
\nthe United States and he was at
\nwar with the South. <\/p>\n

508
\n00:33:51,040 –> 00:33:53,160
\nAnd there was a it was a
\nterrible war. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:33:53,280 –> 00:33:56,000
\nMore Americans were killed in
\nthe Civil War than all of the <\/p>\n

510
\n00:33:56,000 –> 00:33:59,040
\nwars that America has ever been
\ninvolved in because they were <\/p>\n

511
\n00:33:59,040 –> 00:34:03,280
\nkilling each other.
\nAnd he was up against it. <\/p>\n

512
\n00:34:04,280 –> 00:34:07,880
\nAnd he sent a telegram to
\nIllinois, to a friend of his. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:34:09,480 –> 00:34:11,280
\nHe said, you’ve got to come to
\nWashington. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:34:11,280 –> 00:34:16,199
\nI’ve got to see you.
\nSo this man got on a train, It <\/p>\n

515
\n00:34:16,199 –> 00:34:20,159
\nwasn’t no planes in those days.
\nAnd he travelled a distance from<\/p>\n

516
\n00:34:20,159 –> 00:34:25,719
\nIllinois to Washington, DC And
\nthe president had a coach and, <\/p>\n

517
\n00:34:25,840 –> 00:34:28,239
\nand a horse and carriage meet
\nhim at the station. <\/p>\n

518
\n00:34:28,600 –> 00:34:30,239
\nAnd they brought him to the
\nWhite House. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:34:31,560 –> 00:34:34,199
\nThey ushered him into the White
\nHouse and the president was <\/p>\n

520
\n00:34:34,199 –> 00:34:37,400
\nwaiting for him.
\nAnd when he when he got there, <\/p>\n

521
\n00:34:37,480 –> 00:34:40,000
\nthe president walked up and he
\nsaid, I am so glad to see you. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:34:40,000 –> 00:34:42,040
\nThank you for coming.
\nSit down. <\/p>\n

523
\n00:34:42,040 –> 00:34:46,080
\nI’ve got to talk to you.
\nAnd then the president began to <\/p>\n

524
\n00:34:46,120 –> 00:34:50,480
\nwalk and he talked and he paced
\nand he told his friend all of <\/p>\n

525
\n00:34:50,480 –> 00:34:53,120
\nthese problems.
\nAnd if I do this, the cabinet’s <\/p>\n

526
\n00:34:53,120 –> 00:34:54,719
\nafter me.
\nIf I do that, the Congress is <\/p>\n

527
\n00:34:54,719 –> 00:34:57,000
\ngoing to get me.
\nThe troops are losing here. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:34:57,080 –> 00:35:00,200
\nAnd he talked and he did this
\nfor about 3 hours. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:35:00,320 –> 00:35:04,400
\nThis one just sat there.
\nHe never, he never said any more<\/p>\n

530
\n00:35:04,400 –> 00:35:08,840
\nthan hello, Right, Abe.
\nAnd for three hours, Abe Lincoln<\/p>\n

531
\n00:35:08,840 –> 00:35:10,760
\npoured his heart out to this
\nfriend. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:35:12,360 –> 00:35:14,280
\nAt the end, he said, it’s so
\nnice for you to come. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:35:14,440 –> 00:35:17,640
\nYou’ve helped me greatly.
\nAnd the man got on a train and <\/p>\n

534
\n00:35:17,640 –> 00:35:24,400
\nwent back home.
\nBut he had to be there to be of <\/p>\n

535
\n00:35:24,400 –> 00:35:26,920
\nhelp.
\nYou wouldn’t say, what will I <\/p>\n

536
\n00:35:26,920 –> 00:35:29,320
\nsay?
\nJust be there. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:35:30,480 –> 00:35:33,360
\nJust care.
\nThere’s pure religion under <\/p>\n

538
\n00:35:33,360 –> 00:35:36,080
\nfile, says James.
\nJames knew what he was talking <\/p>\n

539
\n00:35:36,080 –> 00:35:43,320
\nabout.
\nWe have to care enough to go <\/p>\n

540
\n00:35:43,320 –> 00:35:47,600
\nwhere we’re needed to be and be
\nwith those who need us. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:35:49,200 –> 00:35:52,640
\nTelephones are wonderful,
\nletters are great, e-mail is <\/p>\n

542
\n00:35:52,640 –> 00:35:54,560
\nfantastic.
\nI don’t understand it, but it <\/p>\n

543
\n00:35:54,560 –> 00:35:59,040
\nworks.
\nBut there’s nothing that takes <\/p>\n

544
\n00:35:59,040 –> 00:36:08,440
\nthe place of being there.
\nAnd so if you know someone that <\/p>\n

545
\n00:36:08,440 –> 00:36:12,600
\nwould be helped by your visit,
\nbe there. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:36:13,760 –> 00:36:17,760
\nAnd it’s more than just popping
\nin you. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:36:17,800 –> 00:36:21,040
\nYou just have to stay a while.
\nMy mother, in her her weak <\/p>\n

548
\n00:36:21,040 –> 00:36:25,520
\ncondition, she said, I wish we
\ncould get an extra bed and put <\/p>\n

549
\n00:36:25,520 –> 00:36:28,400
\nit in here beside me and you can
\nsleep here. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:36:30,360 –> 00:36:35,120
\nI was an only child and spoiled
\nrotten and that was not <\/p>\n

551
\n00:36:35,120 –> 00:36:38,200
\npossible.
\nBut yeah, you can’t just pop in <\/p>\n

552
\n00:36:38,960 –> 00:36:43,920
\nyou, you just have to be there.
\nWe went to see a brother, Bill <\/p>\n

553
\n00:36:43,920 –> 00:36:47,960
\nRobinson, who’s had a stroke up
\nin Brantford and he has to be <\/p>\n

554
\n00:36:47,960 –> 00:36:50,360
\nfed.
\nWe have timed it so we could be <\/p>\n

555
\n00:36:50,360 –> 00:36:53,920
\nthere to feed him.
\nAnd the nurses let us feed him. <\/p>\n

556
\n00:36:53,920 –> 00:36:57,240
\nAnd he’s a he’s a dear brother
\nthat we love very much. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:36:57,240 –> 00:37:02,160
\nBut it’s so pitiful to see
\nsomeone who’s so full of life <\/p>\n

558
\n00:37:02,200 –> 00:37:08,040
\njust a few days before and, and
\nnow, thanks to a stroke, as <\/p>\n

559
\n00:37:08,120 –> 00:37:10,360
\ntotally incapacitated.
\nBut he could talk. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:37:11,560 –> 00:37:16,640
\nAnd he, he, he gave us some good
\nwords of wisdom. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:37:16,680 –> 00:37:19,520
\nIn fact, we’ve written a
\nmeditation about our visit with <\/p>\n

562
\n00:37:19,520 –> 00:37:25,440
\nhim because he said good enough
\nis not good enough. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:37:27,520 –> 00:37:29,960
\nAnd that’s true, isn’t it?
\nAnd that was a, a Pearl of, of, <\/p>\n

564
\n00:37:30,080 –> 00:37:32,360
\nof a jewel that he shared with
\nme. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:37:32,920 –> 00:37:34,600
\nAnd the more I think about it,
\nthe more true it is. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:37:34,600 –> 00:37:38,000
\nSo in, in our life, in the
\nservice and the truth, good <\/p>\n

567
\n00:37:38,000 –> 00:37:41,400
\nenough is not good enough.
\nAre you just doing enough to get<\/p>\n

568
\n00:37:41,400 –> 00:37:43,760
\nby?
\nI think if I do this much at <\/p>\n

569
\n00:37:43,760 –> 00:37:47,240
\nall, I ought to be enough for
\nGod if I just do my Bible <\/p>\n

570
\n00:37:47,240 –> 00:37:48,720
\nreadings.
\nWell, thank, I’ve done that, <\/p>\n

571
\n00:37:48,720 –> 00:37:51,920
\nGod.
\nI think sometimes we think that <\/p>\n

572
\n00:37:52,440 –> 00:37:55,400
\ndoing the Bible readings is sort
\nof like a debt we owe Jesus. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:37:56,040 –> 00:37:57,760
\nOK, I’m supposed to do the Bible
\nreadings now. <\/p>\n

574
\n00:37:57,760 –> 00:37:59,680
\nI’ve done that now.
\nNow the rest of the day is mine.<\/p>\n

575
\n00:38:02,160 –> 00:38:04,840
\nIt’s wonderful to do the Bible.
\nPlease don’t think I’m not <\/p>\n

576
\n00:38:04,840 –> 00:38:06,560
\nputting that down.
\nI am not. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:38:07,280 –> 00:38:12,280
\nBut would you say that’s the
\nmaximum or the very minimum that<\/p>\n

578
\n00:38:12,280 –> 00:38:18,800
\nyou do for the Lord?
\nGood enough is not good enough. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:38:19,520 –> 00:38:21,960
\nAnd I wouldn’t have been able to
\nto have shared that with you if <\/p>\n

580
\n00:38:21,960 –> 00:38:25,800
\nI hadn’t bothered.
\nIt was no bother but to go to <\/p>\n

581
\n00:38:25,800 –> 00:38:29,800
\nsee if a brother, very dear
\nbrother in the hospital. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:38:30,720 –> 00:38:34,000
\nSo who benefits?
\nI’ve already talked about Diane <\/p>\n

583
\n00:38:34,000 –> 00:38:36,880
\nGrandchamp.
\nThose who see her benefit from <\/p>\n

584
\n00:38:36,960 –> 00:38:40,440
\nvisiting her because she is such
\na wonderful personality and <\/p>\n

585
\n00:38:40,440 –> 00:38:42,920
\nshe’s so cheerful.
\nYou got to cheer her up and she <\/p>\n

586
\n00:38:42,920 –> 00:38:44,760
\ncheers you up.
\nBut you got to stay a while. <\/p>\n

587
\n00:38:45,080 –> 00:38:47,200
\nYou don’t just pop and say hi,
\nDiane, nice to see you and gone <\/p>\n

588
\n00:38:47,720 –> 00:38:48,680
\nthink.
\nWell, I did that. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:38:48,680 –> 00:38:53,000
\nI mean, I think that’s the way
\nsome doctors make their rounds. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:38:54,520 –> 00:38:57,360
\nAnd of course, you can.
\nYou can always be misunderstood <\/p>\n

591
\n00:38:59,200 –> 00:39:04,520
\nin trying to do good.
\nThere was a sister who had <\/p>\n

592
\n00:39:04,520 –> 00:39:08,400
\nseveral little children and an
\nold sister Jones lived down the <\/p>\n

593
\n00:39:08,400 –> 00:39:11,160
\nstreet 3 or 4 doors down South.
\nOne morning she said to her <\/p>\n

594
\n00:39:11,160 –> 00:39:14,440
\nchildren, would you would you
\nrun over and see how old sister <\/p>\n

595
\n00:39:14,440 –> 00:39:17,880
\nJones is today?
\nShe was wanting to be thoughtful<\/p>\n

596
\n00:39:17,880 –> 00:39:20,280
\nof how this, so the Kitty said,
\nsure, mom. <\/p>\n

597
\n00:39:20,280 –> 00:39:23,360
\nAnd they ran off and they came
\nback in a few minutes and they <\/p>\n

598
\n00:39:24,080 –> 00:39:26,680
\nthey said, she says it’s none of
\nyour business how old she is <\/p>\n

599
\n00:39:26,680 –> 00:39:39,960
\ntoday.
\nSo sometimes in doing good, you <\/p>\n

600
\n00:39:39,960 –> 00:39:45,760
\ncan be misunderstood.
\nAnd so sometimes people who have<\/p>\n

601
\n00:39:45,760 –> 00:39:50,040
\nbeen misunderstood for the good
\nthey wanted to do said, well, <\/p>\n

602
\n00:39:50,040 –> 00:39:51,920
\nthat’s the last time I’m ever
\ngoing to do good. <\/p>\n

603
\n00:39:52,960 –> 00:39:57,000
\nAnd so we have to keep on doing
\ngood whether we’re misunderstood<\/p>\n

604
\n00:39:57,000 –> 00:40:01,480
\nor not.
\nIf you turn to Second Samuel 10,<\/p>\n

605
\n00:40:01,480 –> 00:40:05,520
\nyou’ll see a a wonderful example
\nof a person who tried to do good<\/p>\n

606
\n00:40:05,520 –> 00:40:09,400
\nand was misunderstood for it.
\nAnd as a result, many thousands <\/p>\n

607
\n00:40:09,400 –> 00:40:19,960
\nand thousands of people died.
\nSecond Samuel 10 And a king has <\/p>\n

608
\n00:40:19,960 –> 00:40:23,200
\ndied.
\nA king has died who had been <\/p>\n

609
\n00:40:23,200 –> 00:40:28,280
\nkind to David.
\nAnd as a result, David said, I <\/p>\n

610
\n00:40:28,280 –> 00:40:30,680
\nwill show kindness unto Hainan.
\nThis is verse 2. <\/p>\n

611
\n00:40:32,720 –> 00:40:35,520
\nThe son of Nahash, as his
\nfather, showed kindness to me. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:40:36,160 –> 00:40:39,680
\nAnd David sent to comfort him by
\nthe hand of his servants for his<\/p>\n

613
\n00:40:39,680 –> 00:40:41,840
\nfather.
\nAnd David’s servants came into <\/p>\n

614
\n00:40:41,840 –> 00:40:43,520
\nthe land of the children of
\nAmmon. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:40:44,080 –> 00:40:47,520
\nAnd the Princess of the children
\nof Ammon said unto Haman, Hainan<\/p>\n

616
\n00:40:47,520 –> 00:40:50,520
\ntheir Lord, thinkest thou that
\nDavid doth honor thy father, <\/p>\n

617
\n00:40:50,960 –> 00:40:52,240
\nthat he sent comforters unto
\nthee? <\/p>\n

618
\n00:40:52,240 –> 00:40:54,960
\nHath not David rather sent his
\nservants unto thee to search the<\/p>\n

619
\n00:40:54,960 –> 00:40:57,240
\ncity, and to spy it on and
\noverthrow it? <\/p>\n

620
\n00:40:58,440 –> 00:41:02,880
\nWherefore Heinan took David’s
\nservants, shaved off half of <\/p>\n

621
\n00:41:02,880 –> 00:41:05,680
\ntheir beards, and cut off their
\ngarments in the middle, and even<\/p>\n

622
\n00:41:05,680 –> 00:41:07,440
\nto their buttocks, and sent them
\naway. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:41:08,760 –> 00:41:16,800
\nAnd you know the story as a
\nresult of that. 700 Chariots, <\/p>\n

624
\n00:41:17,200 –> 00:41:25,040
\n40,000 horsemen and show back
\nthe Campton died 40,701 people <\/p>\n

625
\n00:41:25,040 –> 00:41:28,200
\ndied as a result of a
\nmisunderstanding. <\/p>\n

626
\n00:41:29,960 –> 00:41:34,040
\nSo but David didn’t stop doing
\ngood just because one person <\/p>\n

627
\n00:41:34,040 –> 00:41:37,600
\nmisunderstood his good actions.
\nAnd sometimes you can go to <\/p>\n

628
\n00:41:37,600 –> 00:41:43,080
\nvisit someone and you can tell
\nthat they they weren’t prepared <\/p>\n

629
\n00:41:43,080 –> 00:41:46,160
\nfor you to come.
\nSo it’s an act of kindness if <\/p>\n

630
\n00:41:46,160 –> 00:41:49,440
\nyou’re going to people’s homes
\nto to call them and say, is it <\/p>\n

631
\n00:41:49,440 –> 00:41:54,080
\nLord, if I, if I stop over?
\nYou can kill some people with <\/p>\n

632
\n00:41:54,080 –> 00:41:56,240
\nkindness.
\nCertainly when you go to <\/p>\n

633
\n00:41:56,240 –> 00:41:59,080
\nhospitals, if they’re really
\ndesperately, I’ll you don’t sit <\/p>\n

634
\n00:41:59,080 –> 00:42:02,760
\nby their bed too long because
\ncompany wears people out when <\/p>\n

635
\n00:42:02,760 –> 00:42:05,480
\nthey’re sick.
\nSo then you say, well, then I <\/p>\n

636
\n00:42:05,480 –> 00:42:08,000
\nwon’t go at all.
\nYou see, it takes takes a little<\/p>\n

637
\n00:42:08,000 –> 00:42:11,920
\nbit of common sense to know what
\ntype of visit and how much of A <\/p>\n

638
\n00:42:11,920 –> 00:42:16,040
\nvisit is required.
\nBut the point is, if we’re not <\/p>\n

639
\n00:42:16,040 –> 00:42:19,320
\ndoing this according to James
\nand our religion is in vain. <\/p>\n

640
\n00:42:21,280 –> 00:42:26,920
\nAnd so let’s remember to think
\nof others instead of ourselves. <\/p>\n

641
\n00:42:27,800 –> 00:42:32,920
\nWho can I write to today?
\nWho can I telephone today? <\/p>\n

642
\n00:42:33,760 –> 00:42:40,720
\nWho can I visit today?
\nThe second part of the test is <\/p>\n

643
\n00:42:41,840 –> 00:42:46,160
\nkeep yourself unspotted from the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

644
\n00:42:49,040 –> 00:42:51,640
\nNow this is easier said than
\ndone. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:42:53,560 –> 00:42:56,760
\nIt was hard to do this when
\nJames wrote it. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:42:58,240 –> 00:43:03,040
\nIt’s a lot harder now because
\nwhen James said don’t get <\/p>\n

647
\n00:43:03,040 –> 00:43:06,720
\nspotted by the things of the
\nworld and there were no daily <\/p>\n

648
\n00:43:06,720 –> 00:43:09,160
\nnewspapers, printing had not
\nbeen invented. <\/p>\n

649
\n00:43:09,680 –> 00:43:12,800
\nThere were no magazines to be
\ndelivered into your mailbox. <\/p>\n

650
\n00:43:13,480 –> 00:43:16,840
\nThere was no radio and there was
\nno television to pipe the world <\/p>\n

651
\n00:43:16,840 –> 00:43:20,360
\nright into the your home where
\nyou could see and hear all the <\/p>\n

652
\n00:43:20,360 –> 00:43:22,720
\nsounds of the world that are
\ngoing on all around you. <\/p>\n

653
\n00:43:24,880 –> 00:43:27,800
\nYou probably have gone, you
\nladies love to go shopping. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:43:28,600 –> 00:43:32,200
\nYou probably have gone to a
\nstore and you saw piles of <\/p>\n

655
\n00:43:32,200 –> 00:43:35,040
\nclothes of bargain basement kind
\nof thing. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:43:35,040 –> 00:43:40,360
\nAnd there’ll be a sign up that
\nsays slightly soiled, greatly <\/p>\n

657
\n00:43:40,360 –> 00:43:51,960
\nreduced, and getting spotted by
\nthe world greatly reduces our <\/p>\n

658
\n00:43:51,960 –> 00:44:01,520
\nvalue to God.
\nHow thankful we are that as <\/p>\n

659
\n00:44:01,520 –> 00:44:04,080
\nIsaiah spoke to us in Isaiah
\n118. <\/p>\n

660
\n00:44:04,080 –> 00:44:08,760
\nCome now and let us reason
\ntogether, saith the Lord. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:44:08,760 –> 00:44:13,320
\nThough your sins be as scarlet,
\nthey shall be as white as snow. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:44:13,320 –> 00:44:17,960
\nThough they be red like Crimson,
\nthey shall be as wool. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:44:19,000 –> 00:44:23,200
\nFriendship with the world causes
\nstains and spots. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:44:26,080 –> 00:44:30,320
\nPaul makes a a whole long list
\nof very serious sins and then <\/p>\n

665
\n00:44:30,320 –> 00:44:34,280
\nproceeds to tell us that none of
\nthose who do these things will <\/p>\n

666
\n00:44:34,600 –> 00:44:38,360
\nbe in the Kingdom.
\nAnd then he adds, Such were some<\/p>\n

667
\n00:44:38,360 –> 00:44:41,520
\nof you.
\nIt’s in one Corinthians 69. <\/p>\n

668
\n00:44:42,160 –> 00:44:45,280
\nDon’t you know that the
\nunrighteous will not inherit the<\/p>\n

669
\n00:44:45,280 –> 00:44:48,560
\nKingdom of God?
\nDon’t be deceived. <\/p>\n

670
\n00:44:49,480 –> 00:44:54,680
\nNeither fornicators, nor
\nidolaters, nor adulterers, nor <\/p>\n

671
\n00:44:54,680 –> 00:45:00,680
\nhomosexuals, nor sodomites, nor
\nthieves, nor covetous, nor <\/p>\n

672
\n00:45:00,680 –> 00:45:04,000
\ndrunkards, nor revilers, nor
\nextortioners will inherit the <\/p>\n

673
\n00:45:04,000 –> 00:45:07,320
\nKingdom of God.
\nAnd such were some of you. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:45:08,880 –> 00:45:14,160
\nBut you are washed, but you are
\nsanctified, but you are <\/p>\n

675
\n00:45:14,160 –> 00:45:18,400
\njustified in the name of the
\nLord Jesus and by the Spirit of <\/p>\n

676
\n00:45:18,400 –> 00:45:25,440
\nour God.
\nSo all of us have received <\/p>\n

677
\n00:45:25,440 –> 00:45:29,720
\nspots, James says, to keep
\nourselves unspotted from the <\/p>\n

678
\n00:45:29,720 –> 00:45:33,920
\nworld.
\nAnd we all have gotten spots on <\/p>\n

679
\n00:45:33,920 –> 00:45:38,360
\nus, and the spots greatly reduce
\nour value. <\/p>\n

680
\n00:45:39,320 –> 00:45:43,240
\nBut thanks to forgiveness, we
\ncan have all the spots removed. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:45:44,240 –> 00:45:48,160
\nWe don’t have to stand before
\nthe judgment seat with dirty <\/p>\n

682
\n00:45:48,160 –> 00:45:51,840
\ngarments unless we want to be
\nthat way. <\/p>\n

683
\n00:45:55,560 –> 00:46:00,520
\nJohn to the seven of Cleesians,
\nmature in Asia, grace be to you,<\/p>\n

684
\n00:46:00,520 –> 00:46:06,680
\nand peace from him who is and
\nwho was and who is to come, and <\/p>\n

685
\n00:46:06,680 –> 00:46:10,680
\nfrom the seven spirits which are
\nbefore his throne and and from <\/p>\n

686
\n00:46:10,720 –> 00:46:13,720
\nJesus Christ, the faithful
\nwitness, the first born from the<\/p>\n

687
\n00:46:13,720 –> 00:46:15,800
\ndead and the ruler over the
\nkings of the earth. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:46:15,960 –> 00:46:23,920
\nTo Him who loved us and washed
\nus from our sins in his own <\/p>\n

689
\n00:46:23,920 –> 00:46:30,120
\nblood.
\nIf it were not for Jesus, we <\/p>\n

690
\n00:46:30,120 –> 00:46:32,680
\ncould not keep ourselves
\nunspotted from the world because<\/p>\n

691
\n00:46:32,840 –> 00:46:36,720
\nwe could not be forgiven.
\nIt’s only through Him that we <\/p>\n

692
\n00:46:36,720 –> 00:46:44,760
\nhave washed or robes and made
\nthem white by his blinds. <\/p>\n

693
\n00:46:46,160 –> 00:46:49,640
\nSo just how do we keep ourselves
\nunspotted from the world? <\/p>\n

694
\n00:46:51,080 –> 00:46:54,200
\nWell James is going to give us a
\nwhole list of things that spot <\/p>\n

695
\n00:46:54,200 –> 00:47:00,520
\nyou up, defile you, make you
\ndirty and so these things are <\/p>\n

696
\n00:47:00,520 –> 00:47:05,520
\nspots that we want to avoid.
\nThere is a wishy washy double <\/p>\n

697
\n00:47:05,520 –> 00:47:09,360
\nminded person who is easily
\ninfluenced to do wrong. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:47:10,120 –> 00:47:13,880
\nThis person is soon spotted by
\nthe world. <\/p>\n

699
\n00:47:15,400 –> 00:47:19,480
\nJames one verse six.
\nBut let him ask in faith with no<\/p>\n

700
\n00:47:19,480 –> 00:47:22,440
\ndoubt.
\nFor he who doubts is like a wave<\/p>\n

701
\n00:47:22,440 –> 00:47:25,240
\nof the sea driven by the wind
\nand tossed. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:47:25,680 –> 00:47:28,520
\nDo not let that man think that
\nhe will receive anything from <\/p>\n

703
\n00:47:28,520 –> 00:47:31,760
\nthe Lord.
\nHe’s double minded and he’s <\/p>\n

704
\n00:47:31,760 –> 00:47:34,320
\nunstable in all his ways.
\nSo we have to be single minded. <\/p>\n

705
\n00:47:34,320 –> 00:47:37,640
\nWe have to be focused, otherwise
\nwe’re going to get spots on us <\/p>\n

706
\n00:47:39,080 –> 00:47:43,280
\nthere.
\nThere was in James’s day and in <\/p>\n

707
\n00:47:43,280 –> 00:47:49,920
\nour day those who respected the
\nrich and despised the poor and <\/p>\n

708
\n00:47:49,920 –> 00:47:54,000
\nthis was a spot.
\nJames 2 verse one. <\/p>\n

709
\n00:47:55,040 –> 00:47:59,640
\nMy brethren, do not hold the
\nfaith of our Lord Jesus Christ, <\/p>\n

710
\n00:48:00,440 –> 00:48:02,720
\nthe Lord of glory, with
\npartiality. <\/p>\n

711
\n00:48:03,800 –> 00:48:06,840
\nFor if there come into your
\nassembly a man with gold rings <\/p>\n

712
\n00:48:06,840 –> 00:48:11,160
\nand fine apparel, and there
\nshould also come in a poor man <\/p>\n

713
\n00:48:11,160 –> 00:48:15,680
\nin filthy clothes, and you pay
\nattention to the one wearing the<\/p>\n

714
\n00:48:15,680 –> 00:48:18,720
\nfine clothes, and say to you,
\nOh, sit here in a good place, <\/p>\n

715
\n00:48:19,240 –> 00:48:22,320
\nand say to the poor man, you
\nstand over there, or sit here at<\/p>\n

716
\n00:48:22,320 –> 00:48:25,640
\nmy footstool.
\nHave you not shown partiality <\/p>\n

717
\n00:48:26,200 –> 00:48:28,520
\namong yourself?
\nYou become judges with evil <\/p>\n

718
\n00:48:28,520 –> 00:48:31,720
\nthoughts.
\nListen, my brothers and sisters,<\/p>\n

719
\n00:48:31,880 –> 00:48:35,800
\nhas God not chosen the poor of
\nthis world to be rich in faith <\/p>\n

720
\n00:48:36,080 –> 00:48:38,640
\nand heirs of the Kingdom which
\nhe has promised to those that <\/p>\n

721
\n00:48:38,640 –> 00:48:41,240
\nlove him?
\nBut you have dishonored the <\/p>\n

722
\n00:48:41,240 –> 00:48:44,200
\npoor.
\nDo not the rich oppress you and <\/p>\n

723
\n00:48:44,200 –> 00:48:47,200
\ndrag you into the courts?
\nIt’s still true today. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:48:47,200 –> 00:48:51,480
\nWe must not respect riches.
\nWe look up to people who may be <\/p>\n

725
\n00:48:51,480 –> 00:48:54,480
\nrich and look down on people who
\nmay be poor. <\/p>\n

726
\n00:48:55,000 –> 00:48:57,160
\nAnd we’re we’re the poor of this
\nworld. <\/p>\n

727
\n00:48:57,160 –> 00:48:59,760
\nGod has not chosen the rich
\npeople, the faint, the famous, <\/p>\n

728
\n00:48:59,760 –> 00:49:02,560
\nthe mighty.
\nHe God on purpose has chosen us.<\/p>\n

729
\n00:49:02,560 –> 00:49:06,920
\nAnd then for us to respect
\nsomeone higher up and not show <\/p>\n

730
\n00:49:06,920 –> 00:49:10,120
\nrespect to our brothers and
\nsisters who who may not have <\/p>\n

731
\n00:49:10,120 –> 00:49:12,760
\nvery much.
\nIt’s a spot. <\/p>\n

732
\n00:49:14,560 –> 00:49:18,960
\nWe’re supposed to keep ourselves
\nunspotted from the world. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:49:21,360 –> 00:49:32,760
\nThere are spots caused by envy
\nand strife, James 31416 But if <\/p>\n

734
\n00:49:32,760 –> 00:49:37,320
\nyou have bitter envy and self
\nseeking in your hearts, do not <\/p>\n

735
\n00:49:37,320 –> 00:49:41,040
\nboast and lie against the truth.
\nThis wisdom does not descend <\/p>\n

736
\n00:49:41,040 –> 00:49:44,960
\nfrom above, but is earthly,
\nsensual, demonic. <\/p>\n

737
\n00:49:45,800 –> 00:49:51,160
\nFor where envy and self seeking
\nexist, confusion and every evil <\/p>\n

738
\n00:49:51,280 –> 00:49:56,480
\nthing are there are we envious
\nof others? <\/p>\n

739
\n00:49:57,720 –> 00:50:04,400
\nAre we full of strife?
\nYou know, there are, there are <\/p>\n

740
\n00:50:04,400 –> 00:50:07,840
\nChristian Alphians that wherever
\nthey go, there’s, there’s <\/p>\n

741
\n00:50:07,840 –> 00:50:10,960
\nstrife.
\nI, I like to tell the story <\/p>\n

742
\n00:50:10,960 –> 00:50:15,640
\nabout a, a realtor who was
\nshowing a home to prospective <\/p>\n

743
\n00:50:15,640 –> 00:50:19,560
\nbuyers as they showed this home
\nin the morning to a family. <\/p>\n

744
\n00:50:19,560 –> 00:50:22,040
\nAnd they, the family said to the
\nrealtor, what kind of neighbors <\/p>\n

745
\n00:50:22,040 –> 00:50:25,520
\nwill I have here?
\nAnd the realtor says, what kind <\/p>\n

746
\n00:50:25,520 –> 00:50:27,480
\nof neighbors do you have where
\nyou are now? <\/p>\n

747
\n00:50:28,040 –> 00:50:29,520
\nThey say, oh, we have lovely
\nneighbors. <\/p>\n

748
\n00:50:29,520 –> 00:50:31,240
\nThey’re, they’re really nice.
\nWe get along. <\/p>\n

749
\n00:50:31,240 –> 00:50:33,120
\nThey, they water our flowers
\nwhen we’re gone. <\/p>\n

750
\n00:50:33,280 –> 00:50:35,680
\nWe feed their cat when they, we
\nget along just great. <\/p>\n

751
\n00:50:36,160 –> 00:50:38,560
\nShe says, you’re going to have
\nthe very same kind of neighbors <\/p>\n

752
\n00:50:38,560 –> 00:50:42,240
\nhere In the afternoon.
\nShe showed the same house to <\/p>\n

753
\n00:50:42,240 –> 00:50:45,680
\nanother family and they said,
\nthey said, what kind of <\/p>\n

754
\n00:50:45,680 –> 00:50:47,600
\nneighbors will I have here?
\nShe says, what kind of neighbors<\/p>\n

755
\n00:50:47,600 –> 00:50:49,600
\ndo you have at home?
\nShe says, they’re terrible. <\/p>\n

756
\n00:50:50,160 –> 00:50:52,080
\nOh, we go get along.
\nWe don’t even speak. <\/p>\n

757
\n00:50:53,120 –> 00:50:55,800
\nThey, they don’t want our dog on
\ntheir yard and their kids. <\/p>\n

758
\n00:50:56,200 –> 00:50:57,680
\nWe chase them off for them.
\nWhoa. <\/p>\n

759
\n00:50:57,680 –> 00:51:00,640
\nIt’s terrible.
\nYou’re going to have the same <\/p>\n

760
\n00:51:00,880 –> 00:51:06,160
\nkind of neighbors here.
\nSee, wherever we go, there we <\/p>\n

761
\n00:51:06,160 –> 00:51:10,920
\nare.
\nAnd if, if there’s always strife<\/p>\n

762
\n00:51:10,960 –> 00:51:16,240
\nand confusion and bitterness and
\nproblems around you, you have <\/p>\n

763
\n00:51:16,240 –> 00:51:19,360
\nsighted the enemy.
\nAnd it is me. <\/p>\n

764
\n00:51:20,520 –> 00:51:23,200
\nWe are the one.
\nThere are some people who are <\/p>\n

765
\n00:51:23,200 –> 00:51:25,040
\neverybody’s out of step but
\nthem. <\/p>\n

766
\n00:51:26,040 –> 00:51:30,560
\nThat’s a spot, the big spot.
\nWe need to look ourselves in the<\/p>\n

767
\n00:51:30,560 –> 00:51:33,760
\nmirror, says James, And realizes
\nthat we’re the problem. <\/p>\n

768
\n00:51:34,240 –> 00:51:38,120
\nYou know, you could never, ever,
\never, ever belong to an occasion<\/p>\n

769
\n00:51:38,120 –> 00:51:42,880
\nthat’s pure.
\nBecause when you join it, it <\/p>\n

770
\n00:51:42,880 –> 00:51:54,600
\nwon’t be.
\nWe are the problem to allow <\/p>\n

771
\n00:51:54,600 –> 00:52:00,040
\nother people to have problems,
\nnot to allow them to have the <\/p>\n

772
\n00:52:00,040 –> 00:52:03,840
\nproblem, but allow be be
\ncompassionate about their <\/p>\n

773
\n00:52:03,840 –> 00:52:07,680
\nproblems.
\nSo often we have a double <\/p>\n

774
\n00:52:07,680 –> 00:52:15,360
\nstandard.
\nWe, we want justice for other <\/p>\n

775
\n00:52:15,360 –> 00:52:23,400
\npeople and mercy for ourselves.
\nI like the story about the stop <\/p>\n

776
\n00:52:23,400 –> 00:52:25,720
\nsign that that illustrates this
\none to me. <\/p>\n

777
\n00:52:25,720 –> 00:52:27,360
\nYou may have heard it before,
\nbut I want to hear it again. <\/p>\n

778
\n00:52:31,440 –> 00:52:35,720
\nYou’re driving down the street
\nand you come to a four way stop <\/p>\n

779
\n00:52:36,160 –> 00:52:38,640
\nand you make a good solid stop
\nand you’re just about to start <\/p>\n

780
\n00:52:38,640 –> 00:52:41,040
\nup and all of a sudden here’s
\ncomes a car and you can see he <\/p>\n

781
\n00:52:41,040 –> 00:52:46,440
\nis really barrelling and he goes
\nflatly and you turn to the <\/p>\n

782
\n00:52:46,440 –> 00:52:47,760
\npeople in your car.
\nYou know, we could have been <\/p>\n

783
\n00:52:47,760 –> 00:52:49,840
\nkilled.
\nI was there first. <\/p>\n

784
\n00:52:49,880 –> 00:52:52,800
\nIt was my turn to go.
\nAnd had I gone when I should <\/p>\n

785
\n00:52:52,800 –> 00:52:54,800
\nhave gone, he would have hit us
\nbroadside. <\/p>\n

786
\n00:52:54,960 –> 00:52:56,560
\nNobody.
\nWe could have all been killed. <\/p>\n

787
\n00:52:56,840 –> 00:52:58,720
\nI wish he was a copier to get
\nthat guy. <\/p>\n

788
\n00:52:58,720 –> 00:53:03,800
\nOh, he’s a Minnesota highway.
\nYou want justice for him? <\/p>\n

789
\n00:53:05,400 –> 00:53:09,080
\nYou’re same same, same car, same
\nday, same, same, same occupants.<\/p>\n

790
\n00:53:09,080 –> 00:53:12,480
\nYou’re driving along and you’re
\nnow in the neighborhood where <\/p>\n

791
\n00:53:12,480 –> 00:53:14,080
\nyou’re not.
\nDon’t normally drive. <\/p>\n

792
\n00:53:14,080 –> 00:53:16,560
\nAnd you’re, you’re driving along
\nand you’re having a really good <\/p>\n

793
\n00:53:16,560 –> 00:53:18,960
\nconversation on the truth.
\nAnd you, you go through an <\/p>\n

794
\n00:53:18,960 –> 00:53:21,200
\nintersection and as you get
\nthrough, everybody says, did you<\/p>\n

795
\n00:53:21,200 –> 00:53:22,440
\nknow there was a stop sign back
\nthere? <\/p>\n

796
\n00:53:22,560 –> 00:53:25,440
\nThere was, oh, I hope there’s no
\ncop around here. <\/p>\n

797
\n00:53:28,000 –> 00:53:31,240
\nYou see, we when we do something
\nwrong, we don’t want to get <\/p>\n

798
\n00:53:31,240 –> 00:53:33,440
\ncaught as somebody else does.
\nWe want them to pay. <\/p>\n

799
\n00:53:35,360 –> 00:53:40,280
\nSo if we’re like that, it’s a
\nspot, and we need to realize <\/p>\n

800
\n00:53:40,280 –> 00:53:47,200
\nit’s a spot and the more
\nmerciful of the other fellow and<\/p>\n

801
\n00:53:47,200 –> 00:53:52,600
\nperhaps be more hard on
\nourselves by being a friend of <\/p>\n

802
\n00:53:52,600 –> 00:53:58,280
\nthe world, we get spotted.
\nJames Ford, Ford, adulterers and<\/p>\n

803
\n00:53:58,280 –> 00:54:00,480
\nadulteresses.
\nDo you not know that friendship <\/p>\n

804
\n00:54:00,480 –> 00:54:02,080
\nwith the world is empathy with
\nGod? <\/p>\n

805
\n00:54:02,960 –> 00:54:05,320
\nWhosoever therefore wants to be
\na friend of the world makes <\/p>\n

806
\n00:54:05,320 –> 00:54:10,520
\nhimself an enemy of God.
\nBut we want to be friendly with <\/p>\n

807
\n00:54:10,520 –> 00:54:13,200
\nthe world, don’t we?
\nWe like to have worldly friends.<\/p>\n

808
\n00:54:14,240 –> 00:54:19,080
\nIf all your friends are worldly,
\nyou go to a meeting on Sunday. <\/p>\n

809
\n00:54:19,720 –> 00:54:22,400
\nBut when you want to really have
\na good time, you you choose to <\/p>\n

810
\n00:54:22,720 –> 00:54:25,240
\nto spend your time with people
\nwho are not in the truth. <\/p>\n

811
\n00:54:26,840 –> 00:54:33,520
\nIt’s a spot.
\nRecognize it as a spot and <\/p>\n

812
\n00:54:33,520 –> 00:54:36,040
\nrealize that you can’t serve God
\nand mammon. <\/p>\n

813
\n00:54:36,760 –> 00:54:38,960
\nIf you’re trying to teach these
\npeople the truth, that’s one <\/p>\n

814
\n00:54:38,960 –> 00:54:41,640
\nthing.
\nBut if you’re doing the worldly <\/p>\n

815
\n00:54:41,640 –> 00:54:47,240
\nthings that they do with them,
\nthen you’re mixing too much with<\/p>\n

816
\n00:54:47,240 –> 00:54:49,960
\nthe world.
\nYou’re spending too much time <\/p>\n

817
\n00:54:49,960 –> 00:54:55,600
\nwith those who don’t love Jesus
\nand recognizes as that and do <\/p>\n

818
\n00:54:55,600 –> 00:55:00,720
\nsomething about it.
\nIf we speak evil of one another,<\/p>\n

819
\n00:55:01,520 –> 00:55:07,960
\nwe become spotted.
\nJames 411 Do not speak evil of <\/p>\n

820
\n00:55:07,960 –> 00:55:11,640
\none another, brethren.
\nHe who speaks evil of his <\/p>\n

821
\n00:55:11,640 –> 00:55:14,840
\nbrother and judges his brother
\nspeaks evil of the law and <\/p>\n

822
\n00:55:14,840 –> 00:55:17,800
\njudges the law.
\nBut if you judge the law, you’re<\/p>\n

823
\n00:55:17,800 –> 00:55:20,040
\nnot a doer of the law, but a
\njudge. <\/p>\n

824
\n00:55:21,440 –> 00:55:28,040
\nSo bite your tongue.
\nDon’t say anything bad about <\/p>\n

825
\n00:55:28,040 –> 00:55:31,120
\nanyone.
\nThat’s that’s a very good rule. <\/p>\n

826
\n00:55:31,240 –> 00:55:33,520
\nThere’s a saying, if I can’t say
\nsomething good about a person, I<\/p>\n

827
\n00:55:33,520 –> 00:55:34,760
\nwon’t say anything about him at
\nall. <\/p>\n

828
\n00:55:34,760 –> 00:55:37,200
\nAnd then somebody said, what do
\nyou think about him? <\/p>\n

829
\n00:55:37,200 –> 00:55:38,680
\nHe said, I have nothing to say
\nabout him. <\/p>\n

830
\n00:55:40,640 –> 00:55:46,360
\nSo you can you can even in a
\nroundabout way, try to say <\/p>\n

831
\n00:55:46,360 –> 00:55:48,560
\nsomething unkind without well, I
\ndidn’t say anything, did I? <\/p>\n

832
\n00:55:49,720 –> 00:55:52,680
\nBut you LED them to know what
\nyou feel. <\/p>\n

833
\n00:55:54,920 –> 00:55:58,080
\nWe there’s so much good in the
\nmy mother taught me this poem. <\/p>\n

834
\n00:55:58,080 –> 00:55:59,880
\nI hope I can get it out now.
\nThere’s so much good and the <\/p>\n

835
\n00:55:59,880 –> 00:56:01,560
\nworst of us and so much bad and
\nthe best of us. <\/p>\n

836
\n00:56:01,560 –> 00:56:04,280
\nIt doesn’t behold any of us to
\nspeak I’ll of the rest of us. <\/p>\n

837
\n00:56:05,560 –> 00:56:08,320
\nAnd so when I point my finger at
\nyou through your pointing at me,<\/p>\n

838
\n00:56:08,320 –> 00:56:10,320
\nI’ve got so many problems.
\nI don’t have to be talking about<\/p>\n

839
\n00:56:10,320 –> 00:56:13,400
\nyours.
\nIf if it’s, if it’s a arranging <\/p>\n

840
\n00:56:13,400 –> 00:56:15,440
\nbrothers meeting, we’re we’re
\ndealing with the situation. <\/p>\n

841
\n00:56:15,640 –> 00:56:19,640
\nThat’s that’s not gossip, but
\ndon’t let it get outside that <\/p>\n

842
\n00:56:19,640 –> 00:56:22,840
\nmeeting either.
\nI mean, sometimes something <\/p>\n

843
\n00:56:22,840 –> 00:56:24,840
\ncomes up in a arranging brothers
\nmeeting and before you know it, <\/p>\n

844
\n00:56:24,840 –> 00:56:26,120
\nthe whole occasion is the word
\nof something. <\/p>\n

845
\n00:56:26,200 –> 00:56:28,880
\nYou thought only a few knew.
\nSomebody sinned. <\/p>\n

846
\n00:56:29,640 –> 00:56:31,240
\nThat kind of thing happened.
\nSomebody sinned. <\/p>\n

847
\n00:56:32,520 –> 00:56:34,280
\nWe have to be careful that
\nthat’s a spot. <\/p>\n

848
\n00:56:34,960 –> 00:56:36,280
\nSpots can keep you out of the
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n

849
\n00:56:37,560 –> 00:56:39,200
\nSo let’s don’t speak evil of
\neach other. <\/p>\n

850
\n00:56:39,680 –> 00:56:44,440
\nTry to only say good things.
\nWe get caught up too much in <\/p>\n

851
\n00:56:44,440 –> 00:56:47,960
\nthis world’s mad rush to get
\nthings. <\/p>\n

852
\n00:56:48,520 –> 00:56:54,840
\nWe get spotted.
\nJames 4 verse 13 Come now, you <\/p>\n

853
\n00:56:54,840 –> 00:56:57,680
\nwho say today or tomorrow we
\nwill go into such a city and <\/p>\n

854
\n00:56:57,680 –> 00:57:01,520
\nspend a year there and buy and
\nsell and get a profit, whereas <\/p>\n

855
\n00:57:01,520 –> 00:57:03,400
\nyou do not know what will happen
\ntomorrow. <\/p>\n

856
\n00:57:04,000 –> 00:57:06,360
\nFor what is your life?
\nIt is even a vapor that appears <\/p>\n

857
\n00:57:06,360 –> 00:57:08,480
\nfor a little time and then
\nvanishes away. <\/p>\n

858
\n00:57:09,000 –> 00:57:12,280
\nInstead, you ought to say if the
\nLord will we will do this or <\/p>\n

859
\n00:57:12,280 –> 00:57:15,280
\nthat.
\nYou, you put the Lord will in <\/p>\n

860
\n00:57:15,280 –> 00:57:16,920
\nfront of all the things you’re
\ngoing to do. <\/p>\n

861
\n00:57:18,080 –> 00:57:20,440
\nI think if and then do you do
\nsomething you don’t think the <\/p>\n

862
\n00:57:20,440 –> 00:57:23,920
\nLord would will you do?
\nYou can’t say Lord willing. <\/p>\n

863
\n00:57:23,920 –> 00:57:27,040
\nI’m going to go to the racetrack
\nand bet on Sleepy Sullivan on <\/p>\n

864
\n00:57:27,040 –> 00:57:30,680
\nthe fifth race.
\nThere’s no Lord willing in that <\/p>\n

865
\n00:57:30,680 –> 00:57:33,840
\nthing.
\nI mean, let’s be careful that we<\/p>\n

866
\n00:57:33,840 –> 00:57:37,240
\ndon’t say Lord willing to do
\nsomething that we think the Lord<\/p>\n

867
\n00:57:37,240 –> 00:57:41,920
\nwould not will us to do.
\nWe can simply be too interested <\/p>\n

868
\n00:57:41,920 –> 00:57:45,960
\nin having a good time.
\nAnd therefore I have no time for<\/p>\n

869
\n00:57:45,960 –> 00:57:48,960
\nGod.
\nThis is a real spot. <\/p>\n

870
\n00:57:50,880 –> 00:57:54,320
\nJames 55.
\nYou have lived on the earth in <\/p>\n

871
\n00:57:54,320 –> 00:57:57,960
\npleasure and luxury.
\nYou have fattened your hearts as<\/p>\n

872
\n00:57:57,960 –> 00:58:03,160
\nin the day of slaughter.
\nWe mustn’t spend our time just <\/p>\n

873
\n00:58:03,240 –> 00:58:06,840
\nhaving fun.
\nWe can begin to boast and to be <\/p>\n

874
\n00:58:06,880 –> 00:58:12,440
\ncuffed up and this is certainly
\na spot. 1st chapter 4 verse 16 <\/p>\n

875
\n00:58:13,120 –> 00:58:15,000
\nbut now you boast in your
\narrogance. <\/p>\n

876
\n00:58:15,000 –> 00:58:19,120
\nSuch boasting is evil.
\nWe should be humbling ourselves.<\/p>\n

877
\n00:58:19,120 –> 00:58:21,040
\nHumble yourselves in the sight
\nof the Lord. <\/p>\n

878
\n00:58:21,360 –> 00:58:26,560
\nHe will lift you up.
\nVerse 10 of chapter 4, all the <\/p>\n

879
\n00:58:26,560 –> 00:58:30,640
\nthings that the world considers
\nto be with pride and they, they <\/p>\n

880
\n00:58:30,640 –> 00:58:32,680
\nsay pride is a virtue and we
\nknow it’s a sin. <\/p>\n

881
\n00:58:33,720 –> 00:58:39,360
\nAnd so Jeremiah 923 God says,
\nlet not the wise man glory in <\/p>\n

882
\n00:58:39,360 –> 00:58:42,320
\nhis wisdom.
\nAnd yet people say, well, you <\/p>\n

883
\n00:58:42,320 –> 00:58:48,280
\nknow, I’m a PhD or call me
\ndoctor or whatever. <\/p>\n

884
\n00:58:48,280 –> 00:58:52,800
\nAnd, and I, I, you know, some
\nreal smart people who, who just <\/p>\n

885
\n00:58:52,800 –> 00:58:55,520
\nuse big words that I don’t
\nunderstand just to make me feel <\/p>\n

886
\n00:58:55,680 –> 00:58:57,960
\nstupid.
\nIt’s been too hard to make me <\/p>\n

887
\n00:58:57,960 –> 00:58:59,880
\nfeel stupid.
\nI already know I am. <\/p>\n

888
\n00:59:00,560 –> 00:59:06,800
\nBut if you have, if you’re wise,
\ndon’t flaunt it. <\/p>\n

889
\n00:59:06,880 –> 00:59:12,400
\nThis is what Jeremiah is saying.
\nNor let not the mighty man glory<\/p>\n

890
\n00:59:12,400 –> 00:59:15,680
\nin his might.
\nWe have a beach down our way, <\/p>\n

891
\n00:59:15,720 –> 00:59:18,040
\nSanta Monica, called Muscle
\nBeach. <\/p>\n

892
\n00:59:19,040 –> 00:59:21,760
\nAnd the people with big muscles
\ngo there and they flex them, you<\/p>\n

893
\n00:59:21,760 –> 00:59:24,040
\nknow, and, and the girls go, oh,
\nand all. <\/p>\n

894
\n00:59:25,440 –> 00:59:29,200
\nAnd he says, if you’re strong,
\nuse it for the Lord. <\/p>\n

895
\n00:59:29,200 –> 00:59:32,000
\nI mean, there’s too many people
\nwilling to carry the bench when <\/p>\n

896
\n00:59:32,000 –> 00:59:39,000
\na piano needs to be moved.
\nIf you’re strong, help us move <\/p>\n

897
\n00:59:39,000 –> 00:59:42,560
\nthe piano, but don’t wear tight
\nsleeves and let us know how <\/p>\n

898
\n00:59:42,560 –> 00:59:46,760
\nstrong you are.
\nAnd nor let the rich man glory <\/p>\n

899
\n00:59:46,760 –> 00:59:49,320
\nin his riches.
\nWell, what a rich is for if you <\/p>\n

900
\n00:59:49,320 –> 00:59:52,200
\ncan’t flaunt him, That’s what
\nthe world thinks. <\/p>\n

901
\n00:59:53,360 –> 00:59:55,200
\nBut let him get glory, says
\nJeremiah. <\/p>\n

902
\n00:59:55,200 –> 01:00:01,880
\nGlory in this, that He
\nunderstands me, that I am the <\/p>\n

903
\n01:00:01,880 –> 01:00:08,200
\nLord.
\nExercising loving kindness, <\/p>\n

904
\n01:00:09,360 –> 01:00:13,360
\njudgment and righteousness than
\nthe earth for in this I delight <\/p>\n

905
\n01:00:13,680 –> 01:00:19,480
\nsays the Lord.
\nSo there are all kinds of spots,<\/p>\n

906
\n01:00:19,520 –> 01:00:24,400
\nbrothers and sisters, that we
\ncan we can have and pure <\/p>\n

907
\n01:00:24,400 –> 01:00:26,880
\nreligion is to keep yourself
\nunspotted from the world. <\/p>\n

908
\n01:00:28,160 –> 01:00:33,720
\nAnd so let’s try to get rid of
\nour spots by first asking for <\/p>\n

909
\n01:00:33,720 –> 01:00:35,760
\nforgiveness and God will wipe
\nthem out. <\/p>\n

910
\n01:00:37,160 –> 01:00:41,720
\nAnd then by knowing how it’s so
\neasy to get them and what what <\/p>\n

911
\n01:00:41,720 –> 01:00:45,680
\nlittle things we do that end up
\nwith a spot on us that we <\/p>\n

912
\n01:00:45,680 –> 01:00:47,680
\nshouldn’t have.
\nSo we’re just going to close <\/p>\n

913
\n01:00:48,880 –> 01:00:52,480
\nwith some beautiful words from
\nIsaiah chapter one. <\/p>\n

914
\n01:00:54,880 –> 01:00:57,440
\nWash yourselves and make
\nyourselves clean. <\/p>\n

915
\n01:00:58,720 –> 01:01:01,520
\nPut away the evil of your doings
\nfrom before my eyes. <\/p>\n

916
\n01:01:02,000 –> 01:01:05,920
\nCease to do evil, Learn to do
\ngood. <\/p>\n

917
\n01:01:06,440 –> 01:01:09,600
\nSeek justice.
\nRebuke the oppressor, defend the<\/p>\n

918
\n01:01:09,600 –> 01:01:13,880
\nfatherless, plead for the widow.
\nCome now and let us reason <\/p>\n

919
\n01:01:13,880 –> 01:01:18,240
\ntogether, says the Lord.
\nThough your sins be like <\/p>\n

920
\n01:01:18,240 –> 01:01:22,560
\nscarlet, they shall be as white
\nas snow. <\/p>\n

921
\n01:01:23,800 –> 01:01:29,600
\nThough they be red like Crimson,
\nthey shall be as wool. <\/p>\n

922
\n01:01:45,840 –> 01:01:47,960
\nThank you for listening to the
\ngood ’cause Adelphian Talks <\/p>\n

\nWe hope this talk helped you in <\/p>\n

924
\n01:01:50,560 –> 01:01:52,040
\nyour walk and brightened your
