Class 6 from this series was used in GCT Episode 200<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,800 –> 00:00:06,700
\ngeneral theme of the way of
\nlife, which has been very <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:06,700 –> 00:00:08,100
\nuplifting.
\nI’m sure you agree. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:09,200 –> 00:00:12,700
\nOur fifth study is entitled,
\nservice is not an option. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:12,700 –> 00:00:14,600
\nAnd we thank your brother Bob
\nfor delivering that now. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:16,200 –> 00:00:19,000
\nWell, good afternoon, my beloved
\nbrothers and sisters, young <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:19,000 –> 00:00:26,700
\npeople and Friends.
\nAfter a meal is easy to go to <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:26,700 –> 00:00:28,900
\nsleep, is it?
\nI didn’t think you’d go so <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:28,900 –> 00:00:35,700
\nquickly, I think you’re feeling
\nlike a sister that I met in New <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:35,700 –> 00:00:40,500
\nJersey about 20 or 30 years ago,
\nI was invited to New Jersey for <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:40,500 –> 00:00:44,000
\nus study weekend like this,
\nexcept it was a heavier schedule<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:44,000 –> 00:00:46,900
\nthan this.
\nI spoke Friday night, and then I<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:46,900 –> 00:00:50,600
\nspoke five times on Saturday and
\nthree times on Sunday. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:51,400 –> 00:00:56,600
\nAnd I arrived on the Friday and
\nwe went to the hall and they had<\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:56,600 –> 00:01:01,100
\na basement and he served a
\nsupper in the basement and I <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:01,108 –> 00:01:03,900
\njust gotten my food and I was
\nlooking for a place to sit down <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:03,900 –> 00:01:07,200
\nto eat and its sister companies.
\nAre you brother Lloyd? <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:07,800 –> 00:01:09,200
\nAnd we never seen each other
\nbefore. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:09,200 –> 00:01:12,600
\nI said yes she said I’m sick and
\ntired of listening to you. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:16,900 –> 00:01:21,100
\nSo I think you would agree with
\nher now and then she starts <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:21,200 –> 00:01:24,000
\nLaughing.
\nNow what had happened is that <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:24,000 –> 00:01:28,100
\nshe lived in Florida and the
\nstudy weekend was in New Jersey <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:28,500 –> 00:01:32,200
\nand she was driving up for it
\nthat’s like driving maybe from <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:32,200 –> 00:01:35,800
\nMelbourne to Brisbane and it’s
\nup the east coast of From The <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:35,800 –> 00:01:41,500
\nBottom Of America up towards the
\ntop and her brother in the <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:41,500 –> 00:01:43,900
\nflesh.
\nAnd brother, and Truth to had <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:43,900 –> 00:01:46,300
\ngiven her a bunch of used
\ncassettes. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:46,300 –> 00:01:50,700
\nAnd we didn’t have these discs
\nand stuff, but he had given her <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:50,700 –> 00:01:55,500
\na Stack of my tapes, I didn’t
\nnever met the sister and she <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:55,500 –> 00:01:57,400
\nlistened to me.
\nShe said all the way from <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:57,400 –> 00:02:01,000
\nFlorida to New Jersey, but time
\nshe got there. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:02,800
\nShe was sick and tired of
\nlistening to me. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:08,900
\nSo I think you can sympathize
\nand relate to Earth because <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:08,900 –> 00:02:10,400
\nyou’ve been listening to me all
\nweekend. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:13,200
\nI want to thank you for your
\npatience and enduring. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:13,400 –> 00:02:15,500
\nThey talk about suffering the
\nword of exhortation. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:15,500 –> 00:02:17,000
\nI know sometimes it is
\nsuffering. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:18,600 –> 00:02:20,600
\nWell, this is our last time
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:21,200 –> 00:02:24,900
\nFor this for this weekend, be
\nseeing some of you again, <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:24,900 –> 00:02:27,900
\nbecause I’ll be in town for
\nanother week for other things. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:27,900 –> 00:02:30,800
\nBut for most of us, and a lot of
\nyou have to do some traveling <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:30,800 –> 00:02:32,500
\ntoday.
\nCould have bear brand is not <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:32,500 –> 00:02:35,400
\naround the corner.
\nSo the others of you going, <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:38,100
\nquite great distances, perhaps
\nthis afternoon. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:38,800 –> 00:02:45,700
\nSo this is our last subject.
\nIt will consider on the way of <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:45,700 –> 00:02:51,200
\nlife.
\nAnd there are a lot of people <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:51,200 –> 00:02:54,300
\nand some of them are
\nchristadelphians. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:55,600 –> 00:03:02,000
\nAnd they are not winners.
\nThey are winners wwhen, ners. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:02,800 –> 00:03:06,200
\nAnd this is how it goes, if
\nthey’re young person, they say, <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:06,200 –> 00:03:10,700
\nwhen I graduate, then I’ll do
\nsomething for the Lord. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:11,700 –> 00:03:17,000
\nAnd then I said, well, when,
\nwhen I get a job, I’ll begin to <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:17,000 –> 00:03:22,500
\ndo something for the lord.
\nWell when I get a car, when I <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:22,500 –> 00:03:29,100
\nget a car that will run When I
\nget married. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:31,000 –> 00:03:37,700
\nWhen we have children. when the
\nchildren are a little older, <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:38,900 –> 00:03:47,400
\nwhen the children are grown a
\nwhen I retire, And they’ve gone <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:47,400 –> 00:03:51,000
\nthrough their whole life, do not
\ngoing to do great things for the<\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:51,000 –> 00:03:54,700
\nLord.
\nWhen not, now, when something <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:54,700 –> 00:03:57,800
\nhappens and what do those old
\npeople say? <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:57,800 –> 00:04:04,200
\nAfter they retired, remember the
\ngood old days when and some <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:04,200 –> 00:04:08,100
\npeople never live in the moment,
\nthey’re always going to do <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:08,100 –> 00:04:11,300
\nsomething.
\nWhen something happens, the only<\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:11,300 –> 00:04:14,000
\nmoment you have to live is now
\nright now. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:14,600 –> 00:04:19,000
\nYou can’t live tomorrow and you
\ncan Live yesterday and so let’s <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:19,000 –> 00:04:22,800
\nstop being winners and begin
\nbeing doers. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:23,800 –> 00:04:27,000
\nAnd so we’re going to talk about
\ndoing and service is not an <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:27,000 –> 00:04:30,800
\noption and you have got to get
\nto work. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:31,000 –> 00:04:33,000
\nRather than sisters.
\nYoung people. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:36,900
\nThe time has now come for our
\nclasses to go to be over, and <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:36,900 –> 00:04:39,400
\nwe’ve got to get to work.
\nAnd what does that mean? <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:39,400 –> 00:04:42,400
\nThat means you’ve got to find a
\nwork to do and you need to do <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:42,400 –> 00:04:45,200
\nit.
\nSo, what talents do you have <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:45,700 –> 00:04:47,400
\nnow?
\nThere’s many answers to that <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:47,500 –> 00:04:50,100
\nquestion.
\nAs there are people, God has <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:50,100 –> 00:04:52,300
\nnever made another this kind of
\nblows me away. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:53,600 –> 00:04:55,800
\nBut God has never made of
\nanother person ever. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:55,800 –> 00:05:00,000
\nNot since Adam and Eve.
\nSo right now just like you now <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:00,000 –> 00:05:01,700
\nwe didn’t know about DNA when I
\nwas a boy. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:01,700 –> 00:05:05,700
\nBut we also knew then it.
\nNo two people are alike but now <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:05,700 –> 00:05:07,400
\nthere’s no two.
\nFingerprints are like, there’s <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:07,400 –> 00:05:10,600
\nno to DNA is alike.
\nYou are unique. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:10,600 –> 00:05:13,700
\nYou are special.
\nAnd you are God called. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:14,200 –> 00:05:19,500
\nAnd so you have a talent or
\ntalents and you’ve got to use <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:19,500 –> 00:05:22,100
\nthem for him.
\nIt’s this is not an option. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:22,100 –> 00:05:25,200
\nThis is not a choice.
\nDo you know that? <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:25,200 –> 00:05:28,200
\nGod did not give Moses the 10
\nsuggestions? <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:31,100 –> 00:05:36,600
\nThose were commands and we are
\ncommanded to go out and work for<\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:36,600 –> 00:05:40,200
\nthe Lord and don’t say it.
\nWell, I can’t do nothing. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:40,800 –> 00:05:43,700
\nThere’s no such thing as a
\nno-talent christadelphians, <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:44,200 –> 00:05:46,700
\nGod’s called you and it means
\nyou’ve got something to do and <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:46,700 –> 00:05:48,600
\nyou’ve got to find it and start
\ndoing it. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:49,100 –> 00:05:51,600
\nAnd so, we just read in Romans
\nchapter 12. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:52,200 –> 00:05:57,000
\nIn an NIV, it says verse 6, we
\nhave different gifts. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:57,600 –> 00:06:00,600
\nAccording to the grace given us.
\nIf a man’s gift is prophesying <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:00,600 –> 00:06:02,300
\nthat.
\nUse it in proportion to his <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:02,300 –> 00:06:04,500
\nfaith.
\nIf it is serving, let him serve.<\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:04,500 –> 00:06:06,300
\nIf it is teaching.
\nThey didn’t teach if it’s <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:06,300 –> 00:06:08,600
\nencouraging.
\nLet him encourage if it’s <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:08,600 –> 00:06:11,000
\ncontributing to the needs of
\nothers, let him give generously.<\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:11,300 –> 00:06:13,000
\nIf his leadership.
\nLet him govern different <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:13,000 –> 00:06:15,300
\ndiligently.
\nIf it’s showing Mercy, let him <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:15,300 –> 00:06:19,200
\ndo it.
\nCheerfully So you have a work to<\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:19,200 –> 00:06:21,600
\ndo and this afternoon, we’re
\ngoing to try to figure out what <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:21,600 –> 00:06:25,700
\nit is and when you go out those
\ndoors, you’re going to resolve. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:25,700 –> 00:06:28,500
\nI hope God willing you’re going
\nto get busy doing it. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:28,500 –> 00:06:31,700
\nWhatever it is.
\nYou decided to do for God. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:32,200 –> 00:06:36,200
\nNow there’s an old saying which
\nhas got a new modern twist and <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:36,200 –> 00:06:38,500
\nyou’ve all heard the old saying
\nmany times I’m going to give you<\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:38,500 –> 00:06:42,300
\nthe new modern twist and this is
\nthe way the new saying goes <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:42,500 –> 00:06:48,300
\nanything worth doing.
\nIs worth doing poorly until you <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:48,300 –> 00:06:52,100
\ncan learn to do it better.
\nNow, that’s not the saying that <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:52,100 –> 00:06:54,700
\nyou’ve heard all your life but
\nthis is the one we’re going to <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:54,700 –> 00:06:59,700
\ntalk about this afternoon for
\nare too many people hold back <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:59,700 –> 00:07:04,600
\ndoing nothing because they want
\nto do it perfect when they do it<\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:04,900 –> 00:07:06,500
\nand since they will never do it
\nperfect. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:06,600 –> 00:07:09,200
\nHey, have a good excuse for not
\ndoing it at all. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:10,100 –> 00:07:12,700
\nNow just imagine if you wanted
\nto learn to swim and you had <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:12,700 –> 00:07:16,200
\nnever swam and you went to a
\nswimming pool or the ocean and <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:16,200 –> 00:07:19,600
\nyou hired a swimming instructor.
\nAssume it’s a swimming pool <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:19,600 –> 00:07:21,500
\nbecause then you can stand on
\nthe edge and jump in. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:22,100 –> 00:07:24,100
\nAnd you painted the teacher,
\nyou’ve paid the money. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:24,100 –> 00:07:25,800
\nAnd yeah, he’s going to teach
\nyou to swim music. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:26,100 –> 00:07:29,000
\nI’m not going to get in that
\nwater until I swim perfectly. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:31,800 –> 00:07:34,600
\nYou ain’t never gonna learn to
\nswim. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:35,400 –> 00:07:38,300
\nYou have to jump in the water.
\nYou have to thrash around a <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:38,300 –> 00:07:40,000
\nlittle bit.
\nYou have to learn how to put <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:40,000 –> 00:07:45,300
\nyour head under and eventually
\nyou learn to swim poorly. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:46,300 –> 00:07:50,300
\nAnd if you keep practicing
\nslimming poorly eventually you <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:50,300 –> 00:07:55,400
\nwill swim expertly but you start
\noff doing it poorly. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:55,600 –> 00:07:58,700
\nSo don’t stop.
\nDon’t give yourself the excuse <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:58,700 –> 00:08:01,300
\nof of not starting to do
\nsomething because well I can’t <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:01,300 –> 00:08:03,500
\ndo that.
\nWell you can always find <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:03,500 –> 00:08:06,100
\nsomebody that can do whatever
\nyou could do better than you can<\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:06,100 –> 00:08:08,000
\ndo it.
\nNone of my talk was someone <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:08,000 –> 00:08:10,200
\nmentioned yesterday.
\nRemember my D and for bees and <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:10,200 –> 00:08:13,300
\nit fits doing, your best is
\nbetter than being the best. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:13,800 –> 00:08:15,600
\nNo matter what you’re asked to
\ndo for the Lord. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:15,600 –> 00:08:18,000
\nThere’s Body can do it better
\nthan you. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:19,100 –> 00:08:22,400
\nAnd so we’ll get them to do
\ninstead of me, that’s a cop-out.<\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:22,500 –> 00:08:24,200
\nIf you’re asked to do something,
\ndo it? <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:24,900 –> 00:08:26,100
\nWell somebody else can do it
\nbetter. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:26,100 –> 00:08:30,900
\nI’m not arguing that we’ve had
\nmany people playing the piano <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:30,900 –> 00:08:33,700
\nthis week.
\nThey all did their very best <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:34,000 –> 00:08:36,000
\ndoing.
\nYour best is better than being <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:36,000 –> 00:08:39,900
\nthe best.
\nNot one of the pianos sisters. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:40,700 –> 00:08:44,300
\nOur brothers that played this
\nweekend could play like maybe <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:44,300 –> 00:08:46,900
\nLiberace, can you don’t pay very
\ngood at all now, he’s dead. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:48,800 –> 00:08:51,400
\nBut but there are professional
\nphotographer. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:51,400 –> 00:08:56,000
\nA bit pianist that can play
\nbetter than anyone in this room <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:56,000 –> 00:08:57,900
\ncan play.
\nI mean, they are experts. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:58,300 –> 00:09:00,600
\nSo don’t you try it?
\nYou wait two years good as they <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:00,600 –> 00:09:02,300
\nare.
\nYou ain’t never going to do it. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:03,100 –> 00:09:06,500
\nSo if you’re asked to do
\nsomething you say, yes, and you <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:06,500 –> 00:09:10,400
\npractice and you do it the best
\nyou can do and doing your best <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:10,400 –> 00:09:12,600
\nis better than being the best.
\nYou’ll never be the best there <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:12,600 –> 00:09:16,500
\nis, but God doesn’t ask you,
\nyou’re not in competition with <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:16,500 –> 00:09:20,500
\nanybody in the world.
\nGod is only asking you to do <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:20,600 –> 00:09:24,900
\nyour best for him.
\nAnd so Peter has something to <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:24,900 –> 00:09:28,300
\nsay on this and first, Peter 4
\nverse 10, each one should use <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:28,300 –> 00:09:31,200
\nwhatever gift.
\nHe has received to serve others <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:31,200 –> 00:09:35,400
\nFaithfully administering God’s
\ngrace in all its various forms. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:36,000 –> 00:09:39,700
\nIf anyone speaks, he should do
\nit as one Speaking, the very <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:39,700 –> 00:09:42,600
\nwords of God, if anyone serves
\nyou should do it with the <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:42,600 –> 00:09:45,900
\nstrength, God provides.
\nSo that in all things, God may <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:45,900 –> 00:09:48,700
\nbe praised through.
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:49,000 –> 00:09:52,500
\nSo as we journey through our
\nlife on the way of life towards <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:52,500 –> 00:09:58,200
\nthe kingdom, you have to find
\nsomething to do and do it and <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:58,200 –> 00:10:01,800
\nthe fact that you don’t do it
\nwell is no excuse not to do it, <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:02,000 –> 00:10:04,900
\ndo it poorly until you get
\nbetter at it. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:05,500 –> 00:10:07,800
\nSo what are you going to do?
\nThat’s what we’re going to talk <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:07,800 –> 00:10:12,000
\nabout this afternoon you and I
\nhave got to find something to do<\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:12,500 –> 00:10:16,600
\nand then we have to get in the
\nbuilding jump in the water so to<\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:16,600 –> 00:10:19,600
\nspeak.
\nAnd get busy doing it so <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:19,600 –> 00:10:22,600
\nexperiment, a little bit, ask
\nyourself questions. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:22,600 –> 00:10:24,800
\nWhat can I do?
\nLook, look for a need and try to<\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:24,800 –> 00:10:27,700
\nfill it all around us.
\nThere are others who need our <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:27,700 –> 00:10:29,800
\nhelp.
\nAnd we’ll all we have to do is <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:30,600 –> 00:10:32,500
\nwe talked this morning about a
\ncup of cold water. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:32,600 –> 00:10:34,800
\nSo brother, Simon and I are
\ngoing to act out a little thing <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:34,800 –> 00:10:38,600
\nhere about a little story, which
\nteaches a lesson. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:38,800 –> 00:10:41,400
\nHow you better explain this
\nbefore we get him up to do it? <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:41,600 –> 00:10:43,400
\nBecause I’ve done this before
\nbut I did. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:43,600 –> 00:10:46,100
\nI used to do it years ago but
\nbefore I had what’s called <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:46,100 –> 00:10:50,000
\nneuropathy Neuropathy is when
\nyou can’t feel your feet. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:50,700 –> 00:10:52,700
\nAnd first my feet went dead and
\nthen my legs. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:52,700 –> 00:10:54,900
\nAnd then my rear, and now my
\nright hand. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:55,100 –> 00:10:57,700
\nSo I can’t even feel them on.
\nYou can’t hurt my feelings. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:57,700 –> 00:11:03,700
\nI don’t have anymore but when I
\ngo to the hierapolis in your <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:03,700 –> 00:11:07,700
\nneurologist, he always make me
\ntake off my shoes and you walk <\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:07,700 –> 00:11:13,300
\nlike this and I cannot do it.
\nI absolutely cannot do that. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:13,700 –> 00:11:16,600
\nAnd if I’ve ever pulled over by
\na police officer and given the <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:16,600 –> 00:11:23,200
\nsobriety I’ll flunk the sobriety
\ntest cold sober because I cannot<\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:23,200 –> 00:11:26,800
\ndo that.
\nSo Simon did we realize he’s got<\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:26,800 –> 00:11:29,000
\na bigger job on his hand.
\nThis afternoon then I used to <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:29,000 –> 00:11:32,500
\nhave, but the story we’re going
\nto act out, is this we’re all a <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:32,508 –> 00:11:34,800
\nbunch of just imagine, you’re
\nall a bunch of young kids, see <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:35,200 –> 00:11:39,000
\nyou just go back a few years for
\nthis money and we’re out playing<\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:39,000 –> 00:11:43,100
\nin a field and we want to cross
\nat abandoned railroad track in <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:43,100 –> 00:11:45,000
\nthis field, it was a Spur that
\nwent there. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:45,000 –> 00:11:47,300
\nOne time, it’s not being, it’s
\nall covered with weeds. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:47,400 –> 00:11:49,900
\nYes.
\nAnd so as kids do all this <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:49,900 –> 00:11:52,100
\nAmerica and we all start walking
\nthe rail. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:53,100 –> 00:11:57,500
\nBut because none of us are
\nHighway Highwire, experts, we <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:57,500 –> 00:12:02,700
\nwould walk a few steps and fall
\noff, but Simon and I, we are <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:02,700 –> 00:12:06,400
\nsmart kids.
\nI’ll tell you that and we get <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:08,900
\ntogether and we whisper in each
\nother’s ear. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:09,200 –> 00:12:13,400
\nAnd then we announce to all of
\nyou, we can walk the entire <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:13,400 –> 00:12:16,600
\nlength of this railroad track,
\nand not fall off. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:17,600 –> 00:12:22,700
\nAnd you being typical young
\nkids, you say, oh yeah, prove it<\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:22,900 –> 00:12:24,900
\nso Simon’s.
\nGoing to get on one real, and <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:24,900 –> 00:12:27,900
\nI’m going to get on the other
\nand this the it’s imagine his <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:27,900 –> 00:12:30,100
\nrailroad tracks here.
\nSee now you’re going to hear and<\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:30,100 –> 00:12:37,900
\nI have to really help me.
\nSo we walk the rail together. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:38,700 –> 00:12:40,600
\nNow, the question is, did I pick
\nSimon up? <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:40,600 –> 00:12:43,100
\nAnd I carry him?
\nNo I ain’t too big. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:43,100 –> 00:12:46,500
\nI can’t carry you.
\nSo, what’s happening? <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:46,700 –> 00:12:52,600
\nWe are Reaching Across The Rail
\nand holding hands together so <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:52,600 –> 00:12:57,400
\nthat together, each of us can do
\nwhat neither one of us can do <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:57,400 –> 00:13:00,600
\nwithout the other.
\nAnd did we carry each other? <\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:00,600 –> 00:13:05,600
\nNo, we just held hands.
\nWe just extended her hand to <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:05,600 –> 00:13:08,700
\nhelp somebody study study them
\nwhen they would have fallen and <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:08,700 –> 00:13:11,400
\nI would have fallen flat on my
\nface again, thank you very much.<\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:17,700 –> 00:13:23,200
\nThe lesson is worth remembering.
\nThere are some certain things <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:23,200 –> 00:13:29,300
\nthat none of us can do alone.
\nBut two can someone says two are<\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:29,300 –> 00:13:33,200
\nbetter than one?
\nWe need to team up. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:33,200 –> 00:13:36,600
\nEven the Lord Jesus when he sent
\nhis 12 Apostles out. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:36,600 –> 00:13:40,200
\nHe sent them out by twos.
\nHe instead him out by 112 <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:40,800 –> 00:13:43,900
\ndirections, he sent them out by
\ntwos and six directions. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:44,900 –> 00:13:49,200
\nAnd so we can help each other
\nbut you have to be conscious of <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:49,200 –> 00:13:52,500
\nthe others and you have to be
\nwilling to reach your hand out <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:52,600 –> 00:13:55,100
\nand hold.
\nThere’s in order to steady them <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:55,500 –> 00:13:58,200
\nas they steady week, help the
\nother one. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:58,800 –> 00:14:03,100
\nNow in Romans chapter 12 verse
\n4, we have we read. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:03,600 –> 00:14:07,500
\nEach of us have just one body
\nbut your body has many members, <\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:07,500 –> 00:14:10,300
\nyou know these, you heard read
\nthis many time now, in Christ, <\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:10,300 –> 00:14:12,400
\nyou see, we’re all different not
\nto what? <\/p>\n
236
\n00:14:12,400 –> 00:14:16,200
\nNo, no, two of us are alike.
\nBut we’re all one body. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:16,200 –> 00:14:18,600
\nThis is a body of the
\nchristadelphians and it takes <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:18,600 –> 00:14:23,200
\nall of us to make one body.
\nAnd Paul says, we have different<\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:23,200 –> 00:14:25,800
\ngifts, according to the grace
\ngiven us. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:25,800 –> 00:14:28,800
\nIf a man’s gift is prophesying,
\nthem used in proportion to his <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:28,800 –> 00:14:31,100
\nfaith.
\nIf it’s serving, let him serve <\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:31,200 –> 00:14:33,300
\nif it is teaching, let him teach
\nencouraging. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:33,300 –> 00:14:36,100
\nLet him encourage.
\nSee there’s all kinds of things <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:36,100 –> 00:14:40,600
\nyou can do, but there is
\nsomething you can do and we have<\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:40,600 –> 00:14:42,900
\nto find it and then we have to
\nbegin to do it. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:43,200 –> 00:14:44,600
\nThis is contributing to Needs of
\nothers. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:44,600 –> 00:14:46,700
\nLet him give it generously
\nleadership. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:46,700 –> 00:14:48,500
\nLet him govern diligently
\nshowing Mercy. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:48,500 –> 00:14:51,100
\nLet him do it.
\nCheerfully, sometimes we do <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:51,100 –> 00:14:52,500
\nsomething.
\nBut we spoil it. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:53,600 –> 00:14:57,900
\nBy not being cheerful about.
\nI got to go see old sister Jones<\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:57,900 –> 00:14:59,600
\nand arrest him for.
\nI hate to go there. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:00,000 –> 00:15:03,900
\nWell how are you today anyway?
\nI got to go. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:04,500 –> 00:15:07,700
\nI’m glad I got to see you.
\nSometimes we can leave people <\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:07,700 –> 00:15:11,700
\nworse off than we found him.
\nIf we don’t do it cheerfully. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:11,900 –> 00:15:15,200
\nSo if you have something to do
\ndecide that you’re going to do <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:15,200 –> 00:15:19,000
\nit with Vigor, you’re going to
\ndo it cheerfully. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:19,000 –> 00:15:22,000
\nYou’re going to care about
\npeople, and you’re going to <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:22,500 –> 00:15:27,200
\nthrow yourself into the work.
\nNow, I’m blessed to have owned a<\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:27,208 –> 00:15:31,300
\nlittle company.
\nAnd I people ask me if I’m <\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:31,300 –> 00:15:34,500
\nretired and I see, no, I’m just
\nsemi-retired. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:35,200 –> 00:15:39,200
\nI go to work three days a week,
\nbut I don’t do anything. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:41,000 –> 00:15:43,500
\nAnd they think it’s a joke, but
\nit’s pretty true. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:44,300 –> 00:15:49,600
\nI have no duties at work.
\nI have an office but I hardly <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:53,600
\never sit in it because I have no
\nnothing to do when I get there, <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:53,600 –> 00:15:59,500
\nexcept what I do.
\nWe have 32 employees and 10 of <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:59,500 –> 00:16:03,100
\nthem are christadelphians.
\nSo, we’re almost a third of our <\/p>\n
268
\n00:16:03,100 –> 00:16:07,900
\ncompany, our christadelphians.
\nBut I go around to each desks <\/p>\n
269
\n00:16:08,200 –> 00:16:12,300
\nand talk to the people that work
\nfor me and just encourage them. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:13,000 –> 00:16:16,300
\nI asked their supervisors each,
\nwe have a number of departments <\/p>\n
271
\n00:16:16,300 –> 00:16:19,200
\nand each department has a
\nsupervisor runs that department.<\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:19,600 –> 00:16:21,300
\nI asked.
\nHow is Jane doing? <\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:21,300 –> 00:16:24,200
\nHow’s Betty doing?
\nI was Sandra doing and they tell<\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:24,200 –> 00:16:26,200
\nme and then I go to San dresses.
\nGood. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:26,600 –> 00:16:28,800
\nThe boss just said you’re doing
\na fantastic job. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:28,800 –> 00:16:30,400
\nI don’t want to thank you for
\nthat. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:30,500 –> 00:16:32,600
\nReally did he?
\nI don’t know why. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:32,600 –> 00:16:36,400
\nPeople don’t tell people when
\nthey because I tell him you tell<\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:36,400 –> 00:16:40,300
\nhim but they don’t.
\nSo I go and find out how good <\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:40,300 –> 00:16:42,400
\nthey’re doing and then I go and
\ntell them what the boss said. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:16:42,700 –> 00:16:47,900
\nAnd there are so thrilled that
\nsome it’s a, that’s one of the <\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:47,908 –> 00:16:51,500
\nthings.
\nWhen 2012 said to do, if it’s <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:51,500 –> 00:16:55,600
\nencouraging and encourage, you
\nknow, it doesn’t cost anything. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:55,700 –> 00:16:57,400
\nThing to pass somebody on the
\nback. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:58,000 –> 00:17:01,600
\nI mean, they I walk away from
\ntheir desks and they feel better<\/p>\n
286
\n00:17:01,600 –> 00:17:04,099
\nfor it.
\nIn fact, when I’m away on a trip<\/p>\n
287
\n00:17:04,099 –> 00:17:07,200
\nlike this, I, when I come back,
\nthey may be saying because I’m <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:07,200 –> 00:17:09,500
\nthe boss, but they all say,
\nwell, we missed you. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:10,000 –> 00:17:12,500
\nIn fact, sometimes the girls
\nsay, who is this strange man? <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:12,500 –> 00:17:16,099
\nThat just walked in because I’m
\ngone so much as sometimes they <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:16,200 –> 00:17:19,900
\npretend they don’t know who I
\nwas, but but we have a great <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:19,900 –> 00:17:23,300
\nlittle company and a wonderful
\ngroup of Christian delphine’s, <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:23,300 –> 00:17:29,000
\nwork there and Job is just
\nencouraging them. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:17:30,200 –> 00:17:32,500
\nI don’t do any of their work, I
\ndon’t even know how to do. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:17:32,800 –> 00:17:35,900
\nI started off this company 53
\nyears ago by myself, just a <\/p>\n
296
\n00:17:35,900 –> 00:17:39,400
\none-person company.
\nAnd now we have 32 employees. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:40,000 –> 00:17:43,300
\nAnd I am totally worthless in my
\nown company. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:45,200 –> 00:17:48,600
\nI have a computer on my desk but
\nI don’t know how to turn it on. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:51,000 –> 00:17:54,900
\nAnd what happens sometimes I go
\nin there and it’s missing <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:55,600 –> 00:17:58,100
\nbecause what happens with that
\nmany employees. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:58,100 –> 00:18:01,200
\nSometimes the computer goes down
\nor we’ll get Bob’s, he doesn’t <\/p>\n
302
\n00:18:01,200 –> 00:18:04,100
\nuse it anyway.
\nAnd so my computer will be gone <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:04,100 –> 00:18:05,400
\nfor a few days and then I come
\nback. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:05,400 –> 00:18:07,500
\nAnd what’s back again?
\nThey’ve got another thing. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:08,300 –> 00:18:16,900
\nSo they realize that I have no
\nContribution to make except to <\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:16,900 –> 00:18:20,600
\nencourage.
\nBut you cannot minimize how <\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:20,600 –> 00:18:26,200
\nimportant that is to people and
\nso this is the body of Christ <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:26,800 –> 00:18:30,000
\nand you need to be encouraging
\neach other. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:30,700 –> 00:18:36,200
\nSay think of something nice and
\nsay it call them up and say it <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:36,300 –> 00:18:41,900
\nwrite him a note and say it send
\nthem an email and say it but you<\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:41,900 –> 00:18:45,400
\nshould be telling somebody least
\none a day. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:18:45,900 –> 00:18:48,800
\nSomething encouraging.
\nI heard a nice thing about As <\/p>\n
313
\n00:18:48,800 –> 00:18:51,400
\nyou now, I just talked to my
\nwife this morning. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:51,400 –> 00:18:54,900
\nIt’s Saturday over there.
\nSo we’re so far ahead of her, <\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:55,700 –> 00:18:57,200
\nbut I’m going to go back in
\ntime. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:57,200 –> 00:19:00,500
\nAnd when I get home, I will be
\non the same schedule again shed.<\/p>\n
317
\n00:19:00,500 –> 00:19:06,000
\nYou’ll excuse me.
\nBut it’s a Saturday there, and I<\/p>\n
318
\n00:19:06,000 –> 00:19:08,000
\ngot up early to call her,
\nbecause she was going to a <\/p>\n
319
\n00:19:08,000 –> 00:19:09,800
\nwedding.
\nWe have a big wedding in our <\/p>\n
320
\n00:19:09,800 –> 00:19:12,300
\nHall, this afternoon, and the
\npeople that are getting married,<\/p>\n
321
\n00:19:12,300 –> 00:19:15,300
\nare people that I’m very fond of
\nand I’ve gone to their wedding <\/p>\n
322
\n00:19:15,300 –> 00:19:22,000
\nshowers and the brides Father
\nfather grandfather was my best <\/p>\n
323
\n00:19:22,000 –> 00:19:26,100
\nman in my wedding and so I know
\nall these people really well and<\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:26,100 –> 00:19:29,100
\nactually the groom is related to
\nme to marriage. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:29,100 –> 00:19:31,700
\nYou know, we could see, I was
\ngetting ready to everybody here <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:32,600 –> 00:19:33,900
\nand I would like to have been
\nthere. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:33,900 –> 00:19:37,400
\nIn fact, I had planned to come
\nand then I said to the bride and<\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:37,400 –> 00:19:41,600
\ngroom one Sunny guess what?
\nI’m on my way to Australia at <\/p>\n
329
\n00:19:41,600 –> 00:19:44,400
\nthe time of your wedding because
\nthe wedding is Saturday, go <\/p>\n
330
\n00:19:44,400 –> 00:19:48,000
\nlittle Saturdays.
\nYes, we’re the head of but it’s <\/p>\n
331
\n00:19:48,000 –> 00:19:50,100
\nSaturday over there right now
\nand the wedding is going on <\/p>\n
332
\n00:19:50,100 –> 00:19:56,600
\nright now. but we give them as
\nmuch encouragement as we could, <\/p>\n
333
\n00:19:57,200 –> 00:20:00,000
\nand I even kiss the bride before
\nI left, you know, I got a, I got<\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:11,000
\na preview but there is something
\nIs now is lots of things. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:20:11,300 –> 00:20:15,400
\nEach of us can do and thing is
\nwe don’t get as busy doing what <\/p>\n
336
\n00:20:15,400 –> 00:20:18,400
\nwe ought to be doing.
\nAnd so that that that that’s <\/p>\n
337
\n00:20:18,400 –> 00:20:22,800
\nwhat this class is all about our
\nlast class and service is not an<\/p>\n
338
\n00:20:22,800 –> 00:20:25,700
\noption.
\nSo you’ve got to figure out what<\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:25,700 –> 00:20:28,800
\nto do, and then if you do it
\npoorly, that’s okay. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:29,100 –> 00:20:32,200
\nJust keep on doing it poorly.
\nUntil you get better at it. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:32,500 –> 00:20:36,100
\nAnd if you practice it practice
\nmakes perfect and you will do it<\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:36,100 –> 00:20:38,300
\nbetter.
\nPaul said to the Galatians, make<\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:38,300 –> 00:20:41,900
\nit Explore exploration of Who
\nYou Are. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:43,500 –> 00:20:47,200
\nExplore yourself and the work
\nthat you have been given. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:48,500 –> 00:20:50,500
\nAnd then sink yourself into
\nthat. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:50,500 –> 00:20:54,000
\nAnd that’s a modern translation
\nbut it’s a lot of find out what <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:54,000 –> 00:20:56,900
\nyou can do and then start doing
\nit. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:56,900 –> 00:21:00,900
\nThat’s what Paul says.
\nSo we need a little <\/p>\n
349
\n00:21:00,900 –> 00:21:02,700
\nself-examination.
\nThis afternoon. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:21:03,200 –> 00:21:06,600
\nWhat do you enjoy doing most,
\nwhen do you feel most Fully <\/p>\n
351
\n00:21:06,600 –> 00:21:09,900
\nAlive?
\nWhat are you doing? <\/p>\n
352
\n00:21:09,900 –> 00:21:12,300
\nWhen you completely lose track
\nof yourself and lose track of <\/p>\n
353
\n00:21:12,300 –> 00:21:14,200
\ntime?
\nDo you like routine or do you <\/p>\n
354
\n00:21:14,200 –> 00:21:18,400
\nlike variety?
\nDo we prefer to serve others or <\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:18,400 –> 00:21:20,900
\nserve ourselves?
\nWell, you know the right answer <\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:20,900 –> 00:21:23,400
\nthat one.
\nAre we more introverted or <\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:23,400 –> 00:21:25,400
\nextroverted Agency on some of
\nthese? <\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:25,400 –> 00:21:26,900
\nThere’s no right and wrong
\nanswer. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:28,400 –> 00:21:31,400
\nI just got a letter from a
\nsister in Arctic because I’m <\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:31,400 –> 00:21:35,600
\ntrying to get them to all to
\nsend a card or a letter or two <\/p>\n
361
\n00:21:35,600 –> 00:21:39,300
\never remember once a week you
\nsaid wonders another member and <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:39,300 –> 00:21:41,400
\nso this sister writes me an
\nemail. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:41,500 –> 00:21:45,700
\nWell bomb is she says we’re not
\nall like you and you could tell <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:45,700 –> 00:21:53,600
\nshe was glad of that and she
\nsays I’m an ex I’m an introvert,<\/p>\n
365
\n00:21:53,600 –> 00:21:57,600
\nshe’s I just do not deal with
\nwell with people and I just <\/p>\n
366
\n00:21:58,100 –> 00:22:03,900
\nThink it’s crazy.
\nShe used word crazy to send a <\/p>\n
367
\n00:22:03,900 –> 00:22:07,300
\ncard to somebody and they’ll
\nknow that I did it because they <\/p>\n
368
\n00:22:07,300 –> 00:22:10,500
\ndon’t my list.
\nI’m getting cards from people. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:22:10,500 –> 00:22:13,100
\nI know I’m on their list, but
\nI’m so thrilled to see are from <\/p>\n
370
\n00:22:13,100 –> 00:22:17,500
\nhim, gee, she’s justifying doing
\nnothing because she’s an <\/p>\n
371
\n00:22:17,500 –> 00:22:19,900
\nintrovert.
\nWell, I don’t deny, she’s an <\/p>\n
372
\n00:22:19,900 –> 00:22:24,200
\nintrovert and that’s not a sin.
\nI do deny that being an <\/p>\n
373
\n00:22:24,200 –> 00:22:25,900
\nintrovert means you don’t do
\nanything. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:22:27,400 –> 00:22:31,300
\nIt may be hard for her to talk
\nto people in person, she could <\/p>\n
375
\n00:22:31,300 –> 00:22:35,800
\nwrite a know, she can do
\nsomething, and I keep saying to <\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:35,800 –> 00:22:38,700
\nthese people doing nothing can
\nnever be right. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:39,800 –> 00:22:43,500
\nSo I’m saying that to you this
\nafternoon, find out what it is, <\/p>\n
378
\n00:22:43,500 –> 00:22:46,200
\nyou can do and then begin to do
\nit. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:22:46,200 –> 00:22:49,000
\nOur goal is to stay within the
\nboundaries of God’s plan for us <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:49,000 –> 00:22:52,300
\nat Paul to the Corinthians, the
\nword boundaries refers to the <\/p>\n
381
\n00:22:52,300 –> 00:22:56,000
\nfact that God, assigns each of
\nus a field or sphere of <\/p>\n
382
\n00:22:56,000 –> 00:22:59,000
\nservants.
\nIf the service is a service <\/p>\n
383
\n00:22:59,000 –> 00:23:02,800
\nwhere best cut out to perform
\nand we’re to run with patience <\/p>\n
384
\n00:23:02,800 –> 00:23:04,700
\nthe race that God has set before
\nus. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:23:05,000 –> 00:23:08,300
\nNot everybody had could run the
\nsame race on a track team. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:23:08,400 –> 00:23:09,800
\nYou have the marathon.
\nOwners. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:23:09,800 –> 00:23:11,400
\nYou have the intermediate
\nRunners on. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:23:11,400 –> 00:23:13,600
\nYou have the dashes, you have
\npeople do the pole. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:23:13,600 –> 00:23:16,300
\nVault people do the broad jump.
\nThey’re all have different <\/p>\n
390
\n00:23:16,300 –> 00:23:19,300
\ntalents, but they’re all on the
\nsame team and they’re all <\/p>\n
391
\n00:23:19,300 –> 00:23:21,800
\ncontributing to the success of
\nthe team. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:23:22,600 –> 00:23:25,800
\nSo let every man learned to
\nassess property the value of his<\/p>\n
393
\n00:23:25,800 –> 00:23:26,800
\nown work.
\nThis is Paul. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:26,800 –> 00:23:29,400
\nNow, see, I’m this is not my
\nideas. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:29,400 –> 00:23:33,500
\nI am sharing to you inspired
\nwords ideas coming, right? <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:33,500 –> 00:23:36,700
\nFrom the God’s word.
\nLet every man learn to assess <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:36,700 –> 00:23:38,800
\nproperty.
\nThe value of his homework and he<\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:38,800 –> 00:23:41,400
\ncan then be glad Glad when he is
\ndone, something worth doing, <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:41,700 –> 00:23:43,500
\nwithout depending on the
\napproval of others. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:23:44,200 –> 00:23:46,900
\nNow, you should never compare
\nyourself to someone else. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:23:48,000 –> 00:23:52,800
\nReason is nobody else ever been
\njust like you so you will not be<\/p>\n
402
\n00:23:52,800 –> 00:23:58,000
\nlike anybody else and so it’s
\nimportant that we do not compare<\/p>\n
403
\n00:23:58,000 –> 00:23:59,900
\nours because there’s two
\nreasons, why not to compare <\/p>\n
404
\n00:23:59,900 –> 00:24:03,500
\nyourself to other people.
\nYou can always find somebody and<\/p>\n
405
\n00:24:03,500 –> 00:24:06,300
\nyou say I could never do what
\nthey do. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:24:06,300 –> 00:24:08,600
\nThat’s going back to the dean
\nfor bees. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:24:09,400 –> 00:24:11,800
\nI could never play the piano
\nlike that and I couldn’t you’re <\/p>\n
408
\n00:24:11,800 –> 00:24:14,500
\nright about that and I cannot
\nsing like some of you can sing <\/p>\n
409
\n00:24:14,500 –> 00:24:17,500
\nand I admired that you when I
\nknow this. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:24:17,800 –> 00:24:20,300
\nThat I cannot do but just
\nsomething I can do. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:21,100 –> 00:24:24,500
\nBut so, but if you compare
\nyourself to someone else, you’ll<\/p>\n
412
\n00:24:24,500 –> 00:24:28,100
\nsay, well, I could never do as
\nwell as they do. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:24:28,100 –> 00:24:31,000
\nSo, therefore, I won’t accept
\nthe position. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:24:31,300 –> 00:24:33,900
\nThe all the ones that play the
\npiano today could have said <\/p>\n
415
\n00:24:33,900 –> 00:24:36,300
\nthere is somebody in this world
\nplays the piano better than me, <\/p>\n
416
\n00:24:36,300 –> 00:24:39,400
\nget them.
\nAnd then he didn’t mean any <\/p>\n
417
\n00:24:39,400 –> 00:24:44,200
\nchristadelphians, your been
\nasked to play it, get the hymns <\/p>\n
418
\n00:24:44,200 –> 00:24:46,700
\nand my wife plays, the organ for
\nour closure. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:24:49,200 –> 00:24:51,500
\nIf I tell you that you won’t
\ntell on me, will you? <\/p>\n
420
\n00:24:53,200 –> 00:24:56,700
\nShe’s not the greatest
\norientation player in the world.<\/p>\n
421
\n00:24:58,100 –> 00:25:00,900
\nShe works very hard at it.
\nShe gets very nervous. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:01,500 –> 00:25:05,900
\nShe asks the presiding brother a
\nweek in advance for the hims if <\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:05,900 –> 00:25:09,200
\nyou want to really throw my
\nwife, just come to our meeting <\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:09,200 –> 00:25:11,500
\nand exhort on a sunny.
\nShe’s going to play the organ <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:11,800 –> 00:25:13,500
\nand tell the presiding brother
\nwhen you get up there. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:25:13,500 –> 00:25:14,900
\nOh, I’d like to change the
\nhymns. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:25:16,300 –> 00:25:21,800
\nYou throw my wife in a real
\ntizzy, but she does the best she<\/p>\n
428
\n00:25:21,800 –> 00:25:23,800
\ncan.
\nWith what she has right, where <\/p>\n
429
\n00:25:23,800 –> 00:25:27,400
\nshe is.
\nAnd that’s all any of us can do.<\/p>\n
430
\n00:25:28,300 –> 00:25:32,700
\nSo, she practices those hymns
\nand then she plays them and <\/p>\n
431
\n00:25:32,700 –> 00:25:34,300
\nafterwards.
\nShe’ll say, oh, I made a <\/p>\n
432
\n00:25:34,300 –> 00:25:35,700
\nmistake.
\nDid you hear that mistake? <\/p>\n
433
\n00:25:35,700 –> 00:25:37,200
\nI made and I said, no, I didn’t
\nhear it. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:25:37,300 –> 00:25:40,000
\nIt’s not that musically.
\nNo, I said you did fine. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:25:40,200 –> 00:25:43,600
\nOh no, I meant well, Life Will
\nGo On the Grill. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:25:43,600 –> 00:25:46,200
\nKeep spinning around.
\nEven if he did make a mistake, <\/p>\n
437
\n00:25:46,400 –> 00:25:50,000
\nit’s okay to make mistakes and
\nnot that you plan on making him,<\/p>\n
438
\n00:25:50,200 –> 00:25:52,000
\nbut it’s better to do something
\nand make it. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:25:52,100 –> 00:25:55,200
\nMistake than to do nothing.
\nAnd the people who do nothing <\/p>\n
440
\n00:25:55,200 –> 00:25:56,300
\nthey want, I never made a
\nmistake. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:25:56,300 –> 00:25:58,100
\nWell, that’s right because I
\nnever did and the biggest <\/p>\n
442
\n00:25:58,100 –> 00:26:00,600
\nmistake you can make is a
\nmistake of not doing anything. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:01,000 –> 00:26:02,700
\nSo find something to do and
\nstart doing it. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:02,700 –> 00:26:05,400
\nIf you don’t do it right?
\nWe didn’t do it poorly and you <\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:05,408 –> 00:26:07,400
\nkeep on doing it poorly.
\nCan you get better at it? <\/p>\n
446
\n00:26:08,400 –> 00:26:12,400
\nSo Paul says, we do not dare to
\nclassify or compare ourselves <\/p>\n
447
\n00:26:12,700 –> 00:26:16,000
\nwith some who commend
\nthemselves, when they measure <\/p>\n
448
\n00:26:16,000 –> 00:26:18,200
\nthemselves by themselves and
\ncomparing themselves among <\/p>\n
449
\n00:26:18,200 –> 00:26:19,400
\nthemselves.
\nThey are not why. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:26:19,500 –> 00:26:21,800
\nSo two reasons not to compare
\nyourself. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:26:21,800 –> 00:26:23,700
\nNumber one, you can find
\nsomebody to do better than you. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:26:24,000 –> 00:26:26,100
\nSo therefore, you won’t try
\nbecause they do better. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:26:26,400 –> 00:26:28,600
\nAnd then the other reason you
\nshouldn’t compare yourself and <\/p>\n
454
\n00:26:30,000 –> 00:26:33,300
\ndo a lot better, hire him.
\nAnd then you get puffed, up <\/p>\n
455
\n00:26:33,300 –> 00:26:35,000
\nhome.
\nI don’t make too many mistakes <\/p>\n
456
\n00:26:35,000 –> 00:26:38,100
\nthat she made.
\nAnd both of those attitudes are <\/p>\n
457
\n00:26:38,100 –> 00:26:41,500
\nwrong.
\nYou see if we’re all doing the <\/p>\n
458
\n00:26:41,500 –> 00:26:43,700
\nbest we can do.
\nEven though we’re doing it <\/p>\n
459
\n00:26:43,700 –> 00:26:46,900
\npoorly, we could work at trying
\nto get better. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:26:46,900 –> 00:26:51,400
\nI don’t, I’m not saying that
\ndoing a poor job is is the best <\/p>\n
461
\n00:26:51,800 –> 00:26:55,100
\nthing to do but I’m saying it’s
\nbetter to do a poor job that do <\/p>\n
462
\n00:26:55,100 –> 00:26:59,600
\ndo no job and so whatever it is
\nyou’re asked to do, try it. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:26:59,600 –> 00:27:04,100
\nDo it, practice it.
\nIf you’re asked to exhort him <\/p>\n
464
\n00:27:05,200 –> 00:27:09,400
\nover in our way, when we have a
\nnew person baptized in our <\/p>\n
465
\n00:27:09,400 –> 00:27:14,500
\nEcclesia, they are assigned a
\nmentor for one year and every <\/p>\n
466
\n00:27:14,500 –> 00:27:18,600
\nweek for an entire year, the
\nmentor meets with the newly <\/p>\n
467
\n00:27:18,600 –> 00:27:22,100
\nbaptized person.
\nThey read a book together there,<\/p>\n
468
\n00:27:22,100 –> 00:27:23,900
\npick a book of the Bible and
\nthey both were reading, them <\/p>\n
469
\n00:27:23,900 –> 00:27:27,100
\ndiscuss chapters.
\nI was a mentor of not too long <\/p>\n
470
\n00:27:27,100 –> 00:27:33,000
\nago with a young brother who
\nVery shy and brother and I <\/p>\n
471
\n00:27:33,000 –> 00:27:36,000
\nfigured he needed to be
\nencouraged to learn how to <\/p>\n
472
\n00:27:36,000 –> 00:27:40,500
\nexhort.
\nSo every week I would give him a<\/p>\n
473
\n00:27:40,500 –> 00:27:45,100
\nlittle subject and I said this
\nweek prepare me a five-minute <\/p>\n
474
\n00:27:45,100 –> 00:27:49,200
\nexhortation on love joy.
\nPeace. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:27:49,200 –> 00:27:53,900
\nLong-suffering Whatever and that
\nweek, he would work on that <\/p>\n
476
\n00:27:53,900 –> 00:27:55,400
\ntalk.
\nAnd the next week, when we got <\/p>\n
477
\n00:27:55,400 –> 00:27:58,600
\ntogether, he would give me his
\nfive-minute exhortation on it. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:27:59,700 –> 00:28:03,500
\nI was trying to break the ice
\nfor him to get into so when he <\/p>\n
479
\n00:28:03,500 –> 00:28:08,400
\ngave his first exhortation, I
\npraised him for it because he’d <\/p>\n
480
\n00:28:08,400 –> 00:28:11,900
\nhe’d made a big effort, he was
\ndoing it poorly, but he was <\/p>\n
481
\n00:28:11,908 –> 00:28:13,300
\ndoing the best he could at the
\ntime. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:28:13,300 –> 00:28:17,300
\nHe and I told him how much I
\nappreciated his efforts. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:28:17,600 –> 00:28:19,800
\nHe’s well, you’ve heard all that
\nbefore, because things have <\/p>\n
484
\n00:28:20,200 –> 00:28:25,000
\nlittle things, I practiced on
\nyou, but the point is, you need <\/p>\n
485
\n00:28:25,000 –> 00:28:27,700
\nto have this caring attitude for
\neach other and encourage each <\/p>\n
486
\n00:28:27,700 –> 00:28:29,300
\nother in the work.
\nI don’t know. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:28:29,500 –> 00:28:33,900
\nYou have that roll over here or
\nnot, but you know, we made the <\/p>\n
488
\n00:28:33,900 –> 00:28:38,300
\nmistake in the early days of
\nwork, going to someone’s home <\/p>\n
489
\n00:28:38,300 –> 00:28:40,200
\nevery week to help them get Bad
\nTouch. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:28:40,400 –> 00:28:42,800
\nI always used to go to a home of
\na man and a woman. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:28:43,300 –> 00:28:45,000
\nThey’re both dead now.
\nLong dead. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:28:45,300 –> 00:28:47,600
\nThey were old enough to be my
\nparents, and I was just a young <\/p>\n
493
\n00:28:47,700 –> 00:28:50,700
\nyoung fellow with three little
\nchildren, but every week, I went<\/p>\n
494
\n00:28:50,700 –> 00:28:55,900
\nto their house and talked about
\nfirst principles for the <\/p>\n
495
\n00:28:55,900 –> 00:29:00,400
\npreparing them for baptism.
\nAnd finally, they were not quick<\/p>\n
496
\n00:29:00,400 –> 00:29:03,700
\nlearners.
\nThey were very nice people but <\/p>\n
497
\n00:29:03,700 –> 00:29:05,900
\nthey were definitely not quick
\nLearners. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:29:06,800 –> 00:29:11,900
\nAnd after two years they were
\nready to be baptized and we <\/p>\n
499
\n00:29:11,900 –> 00:29:18,900
\nbaptize them and I said And the
\nnext week I didn’t go and I <\/p>\n
500
\n00:29:18,900 –> 00:29:24,900
\nstopped going and they come in
\nthis is Bob we miss your visits.<\/p>\n
501
\n00:29:25,500 –> 00:29:27,900
\nOh well, you’re baptized now.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:29:28,400 –> 00:29:32,200
\nMission accomplished, you know,
\nget on with it and I didn’t say <\/p>\n
503
\n00:29:32,200 –> 00:29:39,200
\nthat but but you see we learn
\nfrom most kind of mistakes that <\/p>\n
504
\n00:29:39,200 –> 00:29:42,800
\na person wants her baptized
\nthey’re not they’re still a babe<\/p>\n
505
\n00:29:42,800 –> 00:29:45,100
\nin the truth.
\nWhat happens when you have a <\/p>\n
506
\n00:29:45,100 –> 00:29:46,800
\nbaby?
\nBorn in your household. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:29:47,200 –> 00:29:48,900
\nYou want how often do you feed
\nit? <\/p>\n
508
\n00:29:49,300 –> 00:29:52,900
\nEvery 4 hours night and day, 4
\no’clock, feeding. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:29:53,300 –> 00:29:56,000
\nI mean, father and mother want
\nto sleep or that babies. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:29:56,000 –> 00:29:58,500
\nCrying 4:00 in the morning.
\nGo back to sleep. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:29:59,300 –> 00:30:04,000
\nNo, it’s you got to get up and
\nfeed that baby because it needs <\/p>\n
512
\n00:30:04,000 –> 00:30:09,200
\nnourishment often because it’s a
\nbaby and when we baptize <\/p>\n
513
\n00:30:09,200 –> 00:30:14,000
\nsomebody, they are a babe in
\nChrist and they need to be fed <\/p>\n
514
\n00:30:14,300 –> 00:30:19,500
\nmaybe not a 4:00 In the morning,
\nbut don’t abandon your newly. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:30:19,500 –> 00:30:21,300
\nBaptized people say, well now
\nyou’re baptized. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:30:21,300 –> 00:30:24,600
\nI’ll go on to somebody else.
\nThat’s all right, to go onto <\/p>\n
517
\n00:30:24,600 –> 00:30:28,000
\nsomebody else, but don’t neglect
\nthe new ones in your Ecclesia <\/p>\n
518
\n00:30:28,000 –> 00:30:32,200
\nthat they, they need you, and
\nthey need your for a very long <\/p>\n
519
\n00:30:32,200 –> 00:30:36,200
\ntime.
\nSo, we don’t compare ourselves <\/p>\n
520
\n00:30:36,200 –> 00:30:45,200
\nto each other. and, We try to
\nhelp those who need a little <\/p>\n
521
\n00:30:45,200 –> 00:30:50,200
\nword of encouragement.
\nNow whenever you do anything, <\/p>\n
522
\n00:30:50,200 –> 00:30:52,400
\nthere’s always going to be
\nsomebody that’s going to <\/p>\n
523
\n00:30:52,400 –> 00:30:54,900
\ncriticize.
\nYou is lots of people who sit <\/p>\n
524
\n00:30:54,900 –> 00:30:57,000
\nback.
\nThey don’t do anything but they <\/p>\n
525
\n00:30:57,000 –> 00:30:59,200
\nsure criticize what everybody
\nelse is doing. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:31:00,000 –> 00:31:02,000
\nSo if John Bunyan’s, that
\nsomething was interesting. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:31:02,000 –> 00:31:06,200
\nHe says, if my life is
\nfruitless, it does not matter <\/p>\n
528
\n00:31:07,000 –> 00:31:11,700
\nwho praises me and if my life is
\nfruitful, it does not matter who<\/p>\n
529
\n00:31:11,800 –> 00:31:16,000
\ncriticizes me.
\nSo you sort of sometimes in the <\/p>\n
530
\n00:31:16,000 –> 00:31:19,800
\nchristadelphians body have to
\ndevelop what I call a thick <\/p>\n
531
\n00:31:19,800 –> 00:31:23,900
\nskin.
\nYou have to do the best you can.<\/p>\n
532
\n00:31:24,500 –> 00:31:27,700
\nAnd if somebody comes up and
\ncomputer, I mean if you want to <\/p>\n
533
\n00:31:27,700 –> 00:31:30,500
\nknow how to raise kids, just as
\nsomebody who doesn’t have any, <\/p>\n
534
\n00:31:32,000 –> 00:31:34,600
\nyou know, they can always tell
\npeople who have kids how to do <\/p>\n
535
\n00:31:34,600 –> 00:31:38,300
\nit till they get one their own
\nand wow, it’s a different story.<\/p>\n
536
\n00:31:38,300 –> 00:31:42,000
\nIs he we all seem to know how to
\ndo things we’ve never done <\/p>\n
537
\n00:31:42,000 –> 00:31:45,000
\nbefore.
\nOver our, we have a saying, hire<\/p>\n
538
\n00:31:45,000 –> 00:31:48,600
\na teenager while they’re still a
\nteenager know everything. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:31:51,000 –> 00:31:54,600
\nBecause overall way, we have
\nthis feeling, I’m sure it’s not <\/p>\n
540
\n00:31:54,600 –> 00:31:58,900
\ntrue that people in Australia,
\nbut they like that young cat <\/p>\n
541
\n00:31:58,900 –> 00:32:02,100
\nnamed the story this morning,
\nwent to cat college, and thought<\/p>\n
542
\n00:32:02,100 –> 00:32:06,300
\nthey knew everything.
\nAnd as you get older, you can’t <\/p>\n
543
\n00:32:06,300 –> 00:32:09,900
\nyou keep realizing how little
\nyou do know, Mark Twain ran away<\/p>\n
544
\n00:32:09,900 –> 00:32:13,000
\nfrom home when he was about 15
\nor 16? <\/p>\n
545
\n00:32:13,000 –> 00:32:15,900
\nHe thought his daddy was the
\nstupidest guy you’d ever met. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:32:17,300 –> 00:32:20,500
\nHe came back at 25 and he
\ncouldn’t realize couldn’t get <\/p>\n
547
\n00:32:20,500 –> 00:32:22,700
\nover how much his father had
\nlearned in that short time. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:32:25,700 –> 00:32:29,100
\nThen what happened is Mark,
\nTwain had grown up in the <\/p>\n
549
\n00:32:29,100 –> 00:32:32,400
\nmeantime and so that remember
\nthat first of all card you got, <\/p>\n
550
\n00:32:32,400 –> 00:32:35,300
\nplease be patient with me.
\nGod is not finished with me yet.<\/p>\n
551
\n00:32:35,700 –> 00:32:40,000
\nWe need to use those all the
\ntime because young people need <\/p>\n
552
\n00:32:40,000 –> 00:32:42,400
\nto ask older people be patient
\nwith me. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:32:42,400 –> 00:32:44,600
\nI’m God’s not finished with me
\nyet. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:32:45,200 –> 00:32:47,800
\nAnd the, you know, people need
\nto say to young people, you <\/p>\n
555
\n00:32:47,800 –> 00:32:50,900
\nknow, be patient with me and I
\ndon’t get around like I used to <\/p>\n
556
\n00:32:50,900 –> 00:32:54,500
\nbut God’s not finished with me
\nyet because you see, you’re all <\/p>\n
557
\n00:32:54,500 –> 00:32:56,600
\nare either.
\nDean and growing. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:32:57,700 –> 00:33:03,200
\nOr you’re ripe and rotting, I
\nmean what fruit finally gets <\/p>\n
559
\n00:33:03,600 –> 00:33:08,300
\nripe begins to rot and if you
\njust sit back and say, well I’ve<\/p>\n
560
\n00:33:08,300 –> 00:33:10,500
\nbeen baptized now, I don’t have
\nto do anything. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:33:10,900 –> 00:33:16,300
\nYou begin to rot.
\nSo no matter how old you are, we<\/p>\n
562
\n00:33:16,300 –> 00:33:19,600
\nall need to keep this attitude
\nthat we’re green and we’re <\/p>\n
563
\n00:33:19,600 –> 00:33:21,800
\ngrowing.
\nAnd God is not finished with us <\/p>\n
564
\n00:33:21,800 –> 00:33:27,700
\nyet and we’re trying to do
\nbetter. so Jesus told us stories<\/p>\n
565
\n00:33:27,700 –> 00:33:32,000
\nalong these lines, he talked
\nabout giving people talents He <\/p>\n
566
\n00:33:32,008 –> 00:33:36,000
\ngave 1\/10 Oz, 1511.
\nNobody got the same amount of <\/p>\n
567
\n00:33:36,008 –> 00:33:37,500
\ntimes.
\nThey were all different, so you <\/p>\n
568
\n00:33:37,500 –> 00:33:39,800
\nsee, that’s why you don’t
\ncompare yourself to somebody <\/p>\n
569
\n00:33:39,800 –> 00:33:42,200
\nelse.
\nEither their talent is not the <\/p>\n
570
\n00:33:42,200 –> 00:33:46,900
\nsame as yours and and what Simon
\ncould have done without my help <\/p>\n
571
\n00:33:46,900 –> 00:33:49,900
\nvery much was walk that rail.
\nI could not have possibly done <\/p>\n
572
\n00:33:49,900 –> 00:33:54,800
\nit without his help but you see
\nI didn’t help him and maybe I, <\/p>\n
573
\n00:33:55,700 –> 00:33:57,400
\nhe helped me.
\nI maybe I helped them a little <\/p>\n
574
\n00:33:57,400 –> 00:34:01,600
\nbit but you see we need to look
\naround the room. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:34:02,000 –> 00:34:06,300
\nThat people who need our help
\nand they can’t walk a rail, <\/p>\n
576
\n00:34:07,100 –> 00:34:10,100
\nlike, you can.
\nBut you can sit down with him <\/p>\n
577
\n00:34:10,100 –> 00:34:12,800
\nand they can, you can tell them
\na problem, you’re having at <\/p>\n
578
\n00:34:12,800 –> 00:34:15,900
\nschool.
\nAnd if they can remember back <\/p>\n
579
\n00:34:15,900 –> 00:34:19,699
\nthat far, he might be able to
\ngive you some advice on how to <\/p>\n
580
\n00:34:19,699 –> 00:34:22,500
\ncope with problems that you’re
\nhaving in school. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:34:22,600 –> 00:34:25,400
\nWe do people think the young
\npeople just don’t realize how <\/p>\n
582
\n00:34:25,400 –> 00:34:29,800
\neasy they have it and the old
\nyoung people don’t realize how <\/p>\n
583
\n00:34:29,800 –> 00:34:31,800
\nlucky off the are.
\nBut if you were a young Young <\/p>\n
584
\n00:34:31,800 –> 00:34:33,699
\nperson.
\nYou wouldn’t think it was so <\/p>\n
585
\n00:34:33,699 –> 00:34:36,100
\neasy.
\nYou got tons of homework. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:34:36,100 –> 00:34:37,800
\nYou got this.
\nThat you have peer pressure. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:34:37,800 –> 00:34:43,199
\nYou got problem.
\nSee, so each age Each stage of <\/p>\n
588
\n00:34:43,199 –> 00:34:48,400
\nour life is different.
\nBrother and sisters with little <\/p>\n
589
\n00:34:48,400 –> 00:34:52,300
\nchildren, have a different kind
\nof life in brothers and sisters <\/p>\n
590
\n00:34:52,300 –> 00:34:57,100
\nwith teenagers.
\nAnd those who teenagers are now <\/p>\n
591
\n00:34:57,100 –> 00:35:00,300
\ngrown and are married and they
\nhave different different <\/p>\n
592
\n00:35:00,300 –> 00:35:05,600
\nproblems again.
\nWhat I want you to do is this <\/p>\n
593
\n00:35:05,600 –> 00:35:10,700
\nafternoon, think, for yourself,
\nwhat you can do that? <\/p>\n
594
\n00:35:10,700 –> 00:35:16,000
\nYou haven’t been doing for God.
\nI hope you can think of <\/p>\n
595
\n00:35:16,000 –> 00:35:18,800
\nsomething, if you can’t.
\nIt’s going to tell you right <\/p>\n
596
\n00:35:18,800 –> 00:35:19,900
\nthere.
\nYou got a problem. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:35:20,400 –> 00:35:23,500
\nIf you can’t think of something
\nyou could be doing that, you’re <\/p>\n
598
\n00:35:23,500 –> 00:35:26,900
\nnot doing.
\nThen you thinking, right? <\/p>\n
599
\n00:35:27,600 –> 00:35:29,500
\nSo we ought to get a sheet of
\npaper out. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:35:29,500 –> 00:35:31,900
\nWe’re not asking you to do this
\nnow, but when you get home and <\/p>\n
601
\n00:35:31,900 –> 00:35:34,400
\nwhat can I do for?
\nGod service is not, what? <\/p>\n
602
\n00:35:34,400 –> 00:35:39,000
\nHow can I serve and figure out
\nwhat you can do and then start <\/p>\n
603
\n00:35:39,000 –> 00:35:42,800
\ndoing it and do it poorly until
\nyou’re able to do it better, <\/p>\n
604
\n00:35:42,900 –> 00:35:45,900
\ndon’t not do it at all because
\nCan’t do it, perfect. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:35:47,100 –> 00:35:49,600
\nDo your best.
\nAs Paul to Timothy. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:35:50,200 –> 00:35:54,100
\nDo your best to present yourself
\nto God as one approved. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:35:54,600 –> 00:35:57,300
\nA Workman that does not need to
\nbe ashamed. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:35:57,900 –> 00:36:00,000
\nWho correctly?
\nHandles the word of God. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:36:01,900 –> 00:36:07,100
\nSo find something you can do and
\nthen begin to do it, do what you<\/p>\n
610
\n00:36:07,100 –> 00:36:12,300
\ncan with what you have, right?
\nWhere you are. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:36:12,300 –> 00:36:16,500
\nNow not when I get out of
\nschool, not when I get a better <\/p>\n
612
\n00:36:16,500 –> 00:36:18,600
\njob.
\nNot when the children are not, <\/p>\n
613
\n00:36:18,600 –> 00:36:22,400
\nyou right now.
\nToday you go out this afternoon.<\/p>\n
614
\n00:36:22,500 –> 00:36:25,100
\nThis is a Sunday afternoon and
\nmost of you don’t have to be at <\/p>\n
615
\n00:36:25,100 –> 00:36:28,100
\nwork until Monday morning this
\nafternoon. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:36:28,100 –> 00:36:32,400
\nYou do something for God.
\nBy doing something for somebody <\/p>\n
617
\n00:36:32,400 –> 00:36:37,600
\nelse that you hadn’t thought of
\nuntil this class when you get <\/p>\n
618
\n00:36:37,600 –> 00:36:39,100
\nhome.
\nOr if you’re on the road, you me<\/p>\n
619
\n00:36:39,800 –> 00:36:41,800
\nall the time, you’re driving
\nhome, you can think about what <\/p>\n
620
\n00:36:41,800 –> 00:36:44,500
\nis it we can do.
\nWhen you get home, you have some<\/p>\n
621
\n00:36:44,500 –> 00:36:48,100
\nideas, you might call up.
\nSomebody says, oh sorry, you <\/p>\n
622
\n00:36:48,100 –> 00:36:50,600
\ncouldn’t go to the weekend.
\nWe had a good time and let me <\/p>\n
623
\n00:36:50,607 –> 00:36:53,400
\ntell you what happened and maybe
\nyou can remember something that <\/p>\n
624
\n00:36:53,400 –> 00:36:55,800
\nhappened that you can share with
\nsomebody who wasn’t able to <\/p>\n
625
\n00:36:55,800 –> 00:36:58,900
\ncome.
\nYou see, God works with weak <\/p>\n
626
\n00:36:58,900 –> 00:37:02,200
\npeople and that’s us.
\nWe’re all week. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:37:02,200 –> 00:37:06,500
\nWe’re a bundle of flies and God
\nknows every flaw you have. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:37:06,500 –> 00:37:08,800
\nSo you can’t hide it from his
\nknow you saying, well, you know,<\/p>\n
629
\n00:37:09,400 –> 00:37:13,700
\nhe knows but he wants you to
\novercome that was a point of the<\/p>\n
630
\n00:37:13,700 –> 00:37:15,900
\nhurdles.
\nYou have hurdles to jump and you<\/p>\n
631
\n00:37:15,900 –> 00:37:20,300
\nneed to jump them So Paul says
\nto the Corinthians and second <\/p>\n
632
\n00:37:20,300 –> 00:37:25,300
\nCorinthians 4:7, but we have
\nthis treasure in Jars of Clay to<\/p>\n
633
\n00:37:25,300 –> 00:37:28,300
\nshow that all this.
\nAll surpassing power is from God<\/p>\n
634
\n00:37:28,300 –> 00:37:31,500
\nand not from us.
\nWe are hard pressed on every <\/p>\n
635
\n00:37:31,500 –> 00:37:37,800
\nside, not crushed perplexed, but
\nnot in despair. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:37:38,300 –> 00:37:44,500
\nPersecuted, not abandoned struck
\ndown but not destroyed. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:37:45,200 –> 00:37:49,900
\nSo God here is Telling us to
\nPaul that you’re going to be <\/p>\n
638
\n00:37:50,600 –> 00:37:52,800
\npressed on every side, you’re
\ngoing to be perplexed. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:37:52,800 –> 00:37:54,900
\nYou’re going to be in despair,
\nyou’re going to be persecuted, <\/p>\n
640
\n00:37:54,900 –> 00:37:57,500
\nyou’re going to be sure, but you
\ngot to keep getting up. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:37:57,700 –> 00:38:00,200
\nSo I’m talking about a man who
\nfalls out of six time, but he <\/p>\n
642
\n00:38:00,207 –> 00:38:04,400
\ngets up every time to seventh.
\nDon’t just lie down to Old Wars,<\/p>\n
643
\n00:38:04,400 –> 00:38:08,400
\nbe, I got knocked down.
\nGet up and get going again. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:38:09,200 –> 00:38:12,000
\nPaul knew what it was to be
\ndiscouraged. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:38:12,600 –> 00:38:14,100
\nBut what did he do when he was
\ndiscouraged? <\/p>\n
646
\n00:38:14,100 –> 00:38:17,500
\nHe tried to encourage others.
\nHe had a thorn in his flesh and <\/p>\n
647
\n00:38:17,500 –> 00:38:19,900
\nhe didn’t like it, he asked God
\nto remove and God said no. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:38:20,800 –> 00:38:25,200
\nSo he says, I take pleasure,
\nthen in my infirmities you see <\/p>\n
649
\n00:38:25,200 –> 00:38:27,300
\nGod can work around your
\ninfirmities. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:38:28,000 –> 00:38:30,500
\nI don’t race people.
\nLike I did Stephen egerton <\/p>\n
651
\n00:38:30,500 –> 00:38:33,200
\nanymore.
\nI realize that I’ve outgrown <\/p>\n
652
\n00:38:33,200 –> 00:38:38,100
\nthat but because I can’t race
\nSteve anymore. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:38:38,100 –> 00:38:40,700
\nDoes that mean I can’t do
\nanything anymore? <\/p>\n
654
\n00:38:41,400 –> 00:38:44,300
\nNo, there’s something I can do
\nwhatever it is. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:38:44,300 –> 00:38:48,500
\nGet busy doing it.
\nAnd when you love people you <\/p>\n
656
\n00:38:48,500 –> 00:38:51,800
\nyou’ve tried to think what can I
\ndo for that? <\/p>\n
657
\n00:38:51,800 –> 00:38:56,200
\nBut you see sometimes this
\nbackfires this is a this is a <\/p>\n
658
\n00:38:56,300 –> 00:38:59,700
\ncase of a sister who had young
\nchildren and down the street, <\/p>\n
659
\n00:38:59,700 –> 00:39:04,400
\nthere was an old sister Jones.
\nAnd and so, one day the mother <\/p>\n
660
\n00:39:04,400 –> 00:39:07,100
\nthought we should find out how
\nshe is. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:39:07,800 –> 00:39:11,300
\nSo she said to the children,
\nwould you go down the street and<\/p>\n
662
\n00:39:11,300 –> 00:39:13,200
\nsee how old sister Jones is
\ntoday? <\/p>\n
663
\n00:39:14,400 –> 00:39:16,900
\nSo the kitties ran off and came
\nback and he made a few minutes <\/p>\n
664
\n00:39:16,900 –> 00:39:18,600
\nago, she said, it’s none of your
\nbusiness. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:39:18,600 –> 00:39:26,600
\nHow old she is today?
\nNow, you see, she said, go see <\/p>\n
666
\n00:39:26,600 –> 00:39:29,800
\nhow old sister Jones is?
\nHe meant she was describing her,<\/p>\n
667
\n00:39:29,800 –> 00:39:36,000
\nnot asking for her age.
\nSo so what happens when this <\/p>\n
668
\n00:39:36,000 –> 00:39:39,000
\nbackfires you could I’m never
\ngoing to ask her again. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:39:39,300 –> 00:39:41,500
\nYou see, you have to be patient
\nwith people. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:39:42,700 –> 00:39:46,200
\nHer little children,
\nmisunderstood the mother and <\/p>\n
671
\n00:39:46,200 –> 00:39:49,500
\nthe, and the certainly, the old
\nsister, misunderstood the kids. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:39:50,200 –> 00:39:53,000
\nAnd so she and need to go down
\nthere and patch things up. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:39:53,600 –> 00:39:55,500
\nAnd see I didn’t really ask my
\nchildren. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:39:55,500 –> 00:39:57,700
\nHow old you were?
\nI want to know how you are. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:39:59,300 –> 00:40:03,700
\nAnd all the trouble would go
\naway but sometimes when we try <\/p>\n
676
\n00:40:03,700 –> 00:40:06,200
\nto do something nice for
\nsomebody, it doesn’t backfire as<\/p>\n
677
\n00:40:06,200 –> 00:40:07,100
\nwell.
\nThat’s the last time I heard <\/p>\n
678
\n00:40:07,100 –> 00:40:09,800
\nanything for you.
\nAnd that’s not the attitude <\/p>\n
679
\n00:40:09,800 –> 00:40:11,600
\neither.
\nYou do things for people who <\/p>\n
680
\n00:40:11,600 –> 00:40:15,300
\ndon’t even say thank you.
\nThey don’t show any appreciation<\/p>\n
681
\n00:40:15,300 –> 00:40:17,600
\nfor what you and you keep on
\ndoing it. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:40:18,500 –> 00:40:22,400
\nAnd you keep on keeping on
\nbecause you’re doing it not just<\/p>\n
683
\n00:40:22,400 –> 00:40:25,800
\nfor them, it’s your service to
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:40:26,600 –> 00:40:29,200
\nSo you need to keep pressing on
\nfor the mark, for the prize of <\/p>\n
685
\n00:40:29,200 –> 00:40:34,000
\nthe high calling in Christ.
\nJesus we need to just keep on <\/p>\n
686
\n00:40:34,300 –> 00:40:38,200
\nbut if you don’t have a plan and
\nyou don’t work your plan, then <\/p>\n
687
\n00:40:38,200 –> 00:40:42,900
\nnothing will happen.
\nI’ve come a long ways to spend <\/p>\n
688
\n00:40:42,900 –> 00:40:47,100
\nsome time with you, and I’m
\nthankful that you invited me and<\/p>\n
689
\n00:40:47,100 –> 00:40:51,200
\nI’m glad I came.
\nBut I want to tell you this <\/p>\n
690
\n00:40:51,200 –> 00:40:56,000
\nright now.
\nIf you leave this place, And you<\/p>\n
691
\n00:40:56,000 –> 00:40:58,500
\ngo out and go back to where you
\ncame from. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:40:59,800 –> 00:41:02,800
\nAnd everything is going to be
\nthe same as it was before you <\/p>\n
693
\n00:41:02,800 –> 00:41:06,000
\ncame here.
\nI should have stayed home. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:41:07,500 –> 00:41:11,300
\nI wasted my time.
\nI wish that your time I should <\/p>\n
695
\n00:41:11,300 –> 00:41:17,000
\nnever have bothered you.
\nBecause the whole purpose of <\/p>\n
696
\n00:41:17,008 –> 00:41:21,800
\nthese classes on the way of life
\nis to help all of us change and <\/p>\n
697
\n00:41:21,800 –> 00:41:24,000
\ndo something better than we were
\ndoing it. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:41:25,300 –> 00:41:30,000
\nAnd so I pray that that will be
\ntrue and I won’t know it, it’s <\/p>\n
699
\n00:41:30,000 –> 00:41:33,800
\nnone of my business.
\nI know I’m not prying But I do <\/p>\n
700
\n00:41:33,800 –> 00:41:37,300
\npray.
\nThe thoughts which were not <\/p>\n
701
\n00:41:37,300 –> 00:41:39,700
\nmine.
\nThey were God’s thoughts. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:41:39,700 –> 00:41:45,000
\nHe used me as his tool.
\nI hope that they find fertile <\/p>\n
703
\n00:41:45,500 –> 00:41:51,100
\nground in your heart and bring
\nforth glory and honor to your <\/p>\n
704
\n00:41:51,100 –> 00:41:56,300
\nheavenly father.
\nWhy did God? <\/p>\n
705
\n00:41:57,500 –> 00:42:02,400
\nCause Jesus to go through
\neverything that he endured. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:42:04,800 –> 00:42:08,400
\nFor us, he was tempted in all
\npoints. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:42:09,100 –> 00:42:13,100
\nJust like we are yet without
\nsin. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:42:14,200 –> 00:42:16,900
\nAnd that’s such a beautiful
\nthought and the doctrine of the <\/p>\n
709
\n00:42:16,900 –> 00:42:19,900
\nTrinity, destroy you, because
\nyou have a God who can’t sin <\/p>\n
710
\n00:42:20,000 –> 00:42:23,600
\nbeing tempted.
\nIt was meaningless, but you see,<\/p>\n
711
\n00:42:24,200 –> 00:42:30,100
\nyou are having problems.
\nLiterally, God is helping solve <\/p>\n
712
\n00:42:30,100 –> 00:42:33,400
\nother people’s problems.
\nBy giving you yours, you think <\/p>\n
713
\n00:42:33,400 –> 00:42:36,000
\nabout Job.
\nWhy did you all have all his <\/p>\n
714
\n00:42:36,000 –> 00:42:37,800
\nproblems?
\nHe was trying to convert three <\/p>\n
715
\n00:42:37,800 –> 00:42:41,700
\nfriends, his suffering was for
\ntheir benefit. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:42:42,400 –> 00:42:46,300
\nSometimes your suffering is not
\nfor you, it’s for their benefit,<\/p>\n
717
\n00:42:46,600 –> 00:42:48,300
\nPaul suffered all kinds of
\nthings. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:42:48,700 –> 00:42:51,400
\nThe Lord Jesus learned obedience
\nby the things, which he <\/p>\n
719
\n00:42:51,400 –> 00:42:55,500
\nsuffered, because he suffered
\nthese things, he understands <\/p>\n
720
\n00:42:55,500 –> 00:42:57,800
\nwhat you’re going through.
\nAnd when you go to your heavenly<\/p>\n
721
\n00:42:57,800 –> 00:43:01,100
\nfather in prayer and pray
\nthrough Jesus lead us not into <\/p>\n
722
\n00:43:01,100 –> 00:43:02,600
\ntemptation, but Deliver Us from
\nEvil. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:43:02,600 –> 00:43:04,000
\nHe says, I know.
\nI’ve been there. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:43:04,000 –> 00:43:09,700
\nI’ve done that.
\nSo if you are a former alcoholic<\/p>\n
725
\n00:43:10,100 –> 00:43:13,100
\nalcoholic sir told never to use
\nthe word, former, I am an <\/p>\n
726
\n00:43:13,100 –> 00:43:16,500
\nalcoholic, they may not have had
\na drink for 20 or 30 years. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:43:16,500 –> 00:43:19,300
\nThere’s still an alcoholic.
\nI don’t know if you’ve ever been<\/p>\n
728
\n00:43:19,300 –> 00:43:22,000
\nto an AA meeting in your life,
\nbut I have been the one. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:43:22,500 –> 00:43:24,100
\nI was working with a young
\nbrother. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:43:24,100 –> 00:43:26,300
\nHere we are, man, he was not a
\nbrother. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:43:26,400 –> 00:43:29,700
\nYou studying the truth.
\nHe was actually a doctor, he was<\/p>\n
732
\n00:43:29,700 –> 00:43:31,700
\na medical doctor.
\nHe had been a naval doctor. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:43:31,700 –> 00:43:39,400
\nDid you know, they specialize
\nthat for He had been a doctor in<\/p>\n
734
\n00:43:39,400 –> 00:43:43,200
\nthe Navy.
\nAnd he used to come to my house <\/p>\n
735
\n00:43:43,200 –> 00:43:46,600
\nonce a week to study and when he
\nstarted, he couldn’t spell <\/p>\n
736
\n00:43:46,600 –> 00:43:49,200
\nBible.
\nI mean, he could have been mean,<\/p>\n
737
\n00:43:49,200 –> 00:43:53,200
\nhe knew nothing about the Bible
\nso we started really Ground Zero<\/p>\n
738
\n00:43:53,600 –> 00:44:00,200
\nbut after a few many sessions he
\nsaid to me one day, Bob, he <\/p>\n
739
\n00:44:00,200 –> 00:44:03,700
\nbelieved that he needed to keep
\ngoing to AA, meetings to keep <\/p>\n
740
\n00:44:03,700 –> 00:44:06,900
\nhimself dry.
\nHe’s Bob, would you go to a <\/p>\n
741
\n00:44:06,900 –> 00:44:10,200
\nmeeting with me?
\nWell, I didn’t really want to go<\/p>\n
742
\n00:44:10,200 –> 00:44:12,200
\nto an AA meeting.
\nBut I said, if you want me to <\/p>\n
743
\n00:44:12,200 –> 00:44:15,000
\nhis, yes, I want you to call us
\nand we’ll go. <\/p>\n
744
\n00:44:15,600 –> 00:44:19,100
\nNow, they have a big book, like
\nyou have an ALS diary. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:44:19,400 –> 00:44:23,500
\nWell, they have a book of all
\nthe AA meetings in the world and<\/p>\n
746
\n00:44:23,500 –> 00:44:25,800
\nthey haven’t by sections
\nbecause, you know, and he had <\/p>\n
747
\n00:44:25,800 –> 00:44:29,300
\none for our area.
\nNow, he went to an AA meeting <\/p>\n
748
\n00:44:29,300 –> 00:44:32,500
\nbecause he lived across the Town
\nWest, Los Angeles used to drive <\/p>\n
749
\n00:44:32,500 –> 00:44:34,200
\na long ways to my house every
\nweek. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:44:36,300 –> 00:44:39,800
\nI assume that this week, I would
\ngo, I was willing to drive to <\/p>\n
751
\n00:44:39,800 –> 00:44:42,500
\nhis area to go to his AA meeting
\nwith me. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:44:43,100 –> 00:44:47,700
\nOh no, he’s so thoughtful of me.
\nHe looked up in his book. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:44:48,400 –> 00:44:51,700
\nHe found an AA meeting about
\neight blocks from my house. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:44:53,400 –> 00:44:56,300
\nI’ve lived in my home for 43
\nyears, hadn’t lived, there that <\/p>\n
755
\n00:44:56,300 –> 00:45:01,200
\nlong, then about 30 Maybe.
\nAnd our kids had gone through <\/p>\n
756
\n00:45:01,200 –> 00:45:05,700
\nall the schools I had been a
\ncoach of a little league team. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:45:06,300 –> 00:45:09,000
\nI mean I knew a lot of people I
\ndidn’t want to go to an AA <\/p>\n
758
\n00:45:09,000 –> 00:45:10,700
\nmeeting eight blocks from my
\nhouse. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:45:14,500 –> 00:45:17,000
\nYou know I’m going to walk over
\nBob what are you doing here? <\/p>\n
760
\n00:45:17,000 –> 00:45:22,700
\nYou know but he wanted me to and
\nso I did. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:45:24,000 –> 00:45:25,800
\nAnd we walked in and I didn’t
\nknow. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:45:25,800 –> 00:45:30,500
\nSo there I was so relieved.
\nBut I was quite impressed. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:45:31,800 –> 00:45:36,600
\nBy the quality, none of my
\nChristie Devon’s except he and I<\/p>\n
764
\n00:45:37,400 –> 00:45:39,500
\nand they never had a Christian
\nbefore and I probably never on <\/p>\n
765
\n00:45:39,500 –> 00:45:42,700
\nsins.
\nBut the reason I’m telling you <\/p>\n
766
\n00:45:42,700 –> 00:45:47,000
\nthis story is that brother is
\nnow active in Southern <\/p>\n
767
\n00:45:47,000 –> 00:45:52,100
\nCalifornia, helping people who
\nare trying to break the drink <\/p>\n
768
\n00:45:52,100 –> 00:45:55,200
\nhabit.
\nHe knows the problems are going <\/p>\n
769
\n00:45:55,200 –> 00:45:57,600
\nthrough because he went through
\nhimself. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:45:57,900 –> 00:46:04,100
\nHe is far more qualified to I
\nsympathize with an alcoholic. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:46:04,100 –> 00:46:07,300
\nThen me I’m not bragging but I
\nnever been one. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:46:08,600 –> 00:46:12,100
\nCan’t really understand what
\nit’s like because I never was <\/p>\n
773
\n00:46:12,100 –> 00:46:17,900
\nwhy he understands he can help
\nyou take a person who used to <\/p>\n
774
\n00:46:17,900 –> 00:46:20,700
\nsmoke and there’s a person
\ntrying to stop smoking. <\/p>\n
775
\n00:46:21,500 –> 00:46:26,300
\nThat person who was a smoker is
\nmore able to help the person. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:46:26,300 –> 00:46:28,600
\nKick the habit.
\nThen I am what you never did <\/p>\n
777
\n00:46:28,600 –> 00:46:33,500
\nsmoke.
\nSo you see, even the problems, <\/p>\n
778
\n00:46:33,500 –> 00:46:36,500
\neven the addictions, even the
\nthe things that you’ve done, <\/p>\n
779
\n00:46:36,500 –> 00:46:40,900
\nwhich were wrong in the past,
\nwell, our fitting you to help <\/p>\n
780
\n00:46:40,900 –> 00:46:44,200
\nsomebody today, who is facing
\nthe problem that you have <\/p>\n
781
\n00:46:44,200 –> 00:46:49,900
\nconquered.
\nA mother with a colicky baby <\/p>\n
782
\n00:46:50,400 –> 00:46:54,100
\ncries all night.
\nShe said her wits in another <\/p>\n
783
\n00:46:54,100 –> 00:46:59,100
\nmother with teenaged kids who
\nremembers when they were ecology<\/p>\n
784
\n00:46:59,600 –> 00:47:03,900
\nis able to help that sister for
\nmore than I can. <\/p>\n
785
\n00:47:06,300 –> 00:47:11,500
\nA cancer survivor.
\nWho’s gone through chemo and <\/p>\n
786
\n00:47:11,500 –> 00:47:14,500
\nradiation and they’re now in
\nremission. <\/p>\n
787
\n00:47:15,600 –> 00:47:18,600
\nAnd they just find out that one
\nof the sisters in the meeting <\/p>\n
788
\n00:47:18,600 –> 00:47:21,800
\nwas told yesterday she has
\ncancer. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:47:23,600 –> 00:47:28,500
\nNow I can go see her but I don’t
\nif the size the same as that <\/p>\n
790
\n00:47:28,500 –> 00:47:33,900
\nperson who’s gone through it can
\nso you see even the things that <\/p>\n
791
\n00:47:33,900 –> 00:47:37,400
\nhave happened in your life,
\nwhich could have been bad things<\/p>\n
792
\n00:47:37,800 –> 00:47:42,900
\nand you have conquered them now,
\nGod has prepared you to look <\/p>\n
793
\n00:47:42,900 –> 00:47:46,800
\naround and find somebody else
\nwho’s facing the same kind of <\/p>\n
794
\n00:47:46,800 –> 00:47:50,100
\nproblem and you can step in and
\nhelp them. <\/p>\n
795
\n00:47:51,100 –> 00:47:54,400
\nSo everything that’s happening
\nin our life is preparing us for <\/p>\n
796
\n00:47:54,400 –> 00:47:58,400
\nthe kingdom.
\nEven the bad things is so use <\/p>\n
797
\n00:47:58,400 –> 00:48:03,100
\nthe experience that you’ve had
\nto help someone who is not yet <\/p>\n
798
\n00:48:03,600 –> 00:48:06,200
\nconquered.
\nThe thing that you have been <\/p>\n
799
\n00:48:06,200 –> 00:48:13,300
\nable to overcome and so, Service
\nis not an option. <\/p>\n
800
\n00:48:14,400 –> 00:48:17,500
\nIt’s not a suggestion.
\nIt’s a command. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:48:18,400 –> 00:48:22,400
\nSo I want you this afternoon,
\nGod willing, I can’t make you do<\/p>\n
802
\n00:48:22,400 –> 00:48:24,500
\nthis, you know.
\nIt’d be wrong if I could make <\/p>\n
803
\n00:48:24,500 –> 00:48:27,900
\nyou be wrong too.
\nBut I’m pleading with you to <\/p>\n
804
\n00:48:27,900 –> 00:48:33,900
\ndecide this afternoon for a
\npiece of paper, some things that<\/p>\n
805
\n00:48:33,900 –> 00:48:37,800
\nyou can do for God by helping
\nothers. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:48:39,100 –> 00:48:40,500
\nThat you may not have been
\ndoing. <\/p>\n
807
\n00:48:42,000 –> 00:48:47,100
\nEvery one of us could preach
\njust know, you don’t have to <\/p>\n
808
\n00:48:47,100 –> 00:48:48,700
\nknow, all the answers.
\nI will, I don’t tell you about <\/p>\n
809
\n00:48:48,700 –> 00:48:51,100
\nhave a Christian because I don’t
\nknow how to answer the questions<\/p>\n
810
\n00:48:51,100 –> 00:48:53,900
\non the devil and The Trinity
\nImmortal Soul or they just say <\/p>\n
811
\n00:48:53,900 –> 00:48:57,300
\nyou’re a Christian delphian.
\nWe had a man who came into the <\/p>\n
812
\n00:48:57,300 –> 00:49:01,500
\ntruth from the radio program, we
\nhad radio program has it and he <\/p>\n
813
\n00:49:01,600 –> 00:49:04,400
\nhad no nothing.
\nHe was so alive for the truth. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:49:04,400 –> 00:49:06,800
\nHe never ever exhorted his
\nentire life. <\/p>\n
815
\n00:49:07,400 –> 00:49:10,400
\nHe was so full of the truth.
\nHe used to say, I don’t talk <\/p>\n
816
\n00:49:10,400 –> 00:49:13,300
\ngood.
\nBut he used to have a big Tipper<\/p>\n
817
\n00:49:13,300 –> 00:49:16,800
\nquarters, those great, big
\nthings will reel to reels and he<\/p>\n
818
\n00:49:16,800 –> 00:49:20,300
\nwould take that carry that big
\nthing over to somebody’s house <\/p>\n
819
\n00:49:20,300 –> 00:49:23,000
\nwith a tape on it by
\nchristadelphians who he said <\/p>\n
820
\n00:49:23,000 –> 00:49:26,300
\ntalk good and he say, I want to
\nplay you something. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:49:27,300 –> 00:49:29,800
\nAnd then they’d ask a question.
\nI don’t know, but he said, I’ll <\/p>\n
822
\n00:49:29,808 –> 00:49:33,000
\nget an Alkali find out.
\nHe was always coming back to <\/p>\n
823
\n00:49:33,000 –> 00:49:35,100
\nour, the rest of us saying, how
\ndo you answer this question, <\/p>\n
824
\n00:49:35,100 –> 00:49:37,500
\nhoney?
\nBut you saw, so he started off <\/p>\n
825
\n00:49:37,800 –> 00:49:42,700
\ndoing something poorly but doing
\nit and he got better at it. <\/p>\n
826
\n00:49:43,100 –> 00:49:46,000
\nHe never is.
\nOh my ever got good. <\/p>\n
827
\n00:49:46,100 –> 00:49:50,000
\nHe’s in the hospital in a
\ndouble, in a room with two beds <\/p>\n
828
\n00:49:50,000 –> 00:49:52,700
\nand the guy in the other bed is
\na Marine. <\/p>\n
829
\n00:49:53,900 –> 00:49:55,700
\nAnd he started talking to him
\nabout the truth. <\/p>\n
830
\n00:49:57,000 –> 00:50:00,300
\nMake a long story short, the
\nMarine got baptized and quit the<\/p>\n
831
\n00:50:00,300 –> 00:50:04,000
\nMarines.
\nBut this man didn’t do it alone.<\/p>\n
832
\n00:50:04,000 –> 00:50:07,200
\nHe says, I don’t talk to it.
\nHe couldn’t, he couldn’t, he <\/p>\n
833
\n00:50:07,200 –> 00:50:10,500
\ncouldn’t explain away the devil
\nor the Trinity really difficult <\/p>\n
834
\n00:50:10,500 –> 00:50:12,500
\nsubject.
\nMy father’s house are many <\/p>\n
835
\n00:50:12,500 –> 00:50:14,000
\nmansions.
\nYou know, I go to prayer. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:50:14,000 –> 00:50:15,500
\nHe will, you know, how to answer
\nthat. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:50:15,900 –> 00:50:17,800
\nBut verily, I say to you today,
\nyou shall be with me in <\/p>\n
838
\n00:50:17,800 –> 00:50:19,200
\nParadise, he did not answer
\nthat. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:50:19,400 –> 00:50:21,500
\nHe knew that you didn’t go to
\nparadise that day. <\/p>\n
840
\n00:50:21,500 –> 00:50:24,400
\nHe knew that heaven was not a
\nreward of the righteous, but <\/p>\n
841
\n00:50:24,400 –> 00:50:25,900
\nhe’s not, I’ll get some answers
\nfor you. <\/p>\n
842
\n00:50:26,000 –> 00:50:27,800
\nHe came to me, you something to
\nread. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:50:27,800 –> 00:50:31,200
\nLet me pay you this tape.
\nYou see each one of you, one of <\/p>\n
844
\n00:50:31,207 –> 00:50:32,900
\nthese.
\nYou all have do is become a <\/p>\n
845
\n00:50:32,900 –> 00:50:36,700
\npreacher because God has nobody
\nelse in this world to do it <\/p>\n
846
\n00:50:36,700 –> 00:50:40,600
\nexcept you We can’t hire the
\nJehovah’s Witnesses. <\/p>\n
847
\n00:50:40,600 –> 00:50:44,200
\nDo it.
\nThey put us to shame in the <\/p>\n
848
\n00:50:44,200 –> 00:50:47,700
\nworld and the way that they got
\nknocking on doors and we don’t <\/p>\n
849
\n00:50:47,700 –> 00:50:50,500
\ndo that very much and they get
\nconverts from him. <\/p>\n
850
\n00:50:50,800 –> 00:50:54,100
\nThey can rely to projections,
\nbut they get converts, we’re <\/p>\n
851
\n00:50:54,100 –> 00:50:57,900
\nfinding in the mission field.
\nIf you just dissed plant seeds, <\/p>\n
852
\n00:50:57,900 –> 00:51:01,600
\nwhen you get home this weekend,
\ntill people, hope you can say <\/p>\n
853
\n00:51:01,600 –> 00:51:05,300
\nthis, I had a great weekend.
\nWhat’d you do? <\/p>\n
854
\n00:51:05,600 –> 00:51:09,300
\nOh, I went through some Bible
\ntalks about what church of <\/p>\n
855
\n00:51:09,300 –> 00:51:11,600
\nchristadelphians crispy oven
\nover our way. <\/p>\n
856
\n00:51:11,600 –> 00:51:14,300
\nNobody’s ever heard of Chris, I
\ngot a little story about <\/p>\n
857
\n00:51:14,300 –> 00:51:16,100
\nchristadelphians.
\nI do this with everybody. <\/p>\n
858
\n00:51:16,100 –> 00:51:20,400
\nI meet you’re playing, were
\nbecause most people have never <\/p>\n
859
\n00:51:20,400 –> 00:51:22,200
\nheard of the word Christian
\nAmerica. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:51:22,500 –> 00:51:25,800
\nWe got we’re not that good at
\npreaching we should be in <\/p>\n
861
\n00:51:25,800 –> 00:51:27,700
\nAustralia.
\nIt’s better but it’s not perfect<\/p>\n
862
\n00:51:27,700 –> 00:51:30,400
\nhere either and I’ve been
\ntalking to some people were not <\/p>\n
863
\n00:51:30,400 –> 00:51:32,800
\nChristian friends and I mention
\nI’m coming to a Christian thing <\/p>\n
864
\n00:51:32,800 –> 00:51:34,000
\nand they never heard of you
\neither. <\/p>\n
865
\n00:51:34,900 –> 00:51:38,100
\nSo it isn’t universally known
\nlike Catholics are the <\/p>\n
866
\n00:51:38,100 –> 00:51:41,300
\nPresbyterians or something?
\nBut I say it’s where the word <\/p>\n
867
\n00:51:41,300 –> 00:51:45,700
\nChrist and Adelphia in Adelphia
\nis a Greek word. <\/p>\n
868
\n00:51:45,700 –> 00:51:50,000
\nIt simply means brother.
\nHave you think Philadelphia is a<\/p>\n
869
\n00:51:50,000 –> 00:51:51,600
\nfunny word?
\nI always ask. <\/p>\n
870
\n00:51:51,700 –> 00:51:54,200
\nIf you ask people questions they
\nhave to answer you. <\/p>\n
871
\n00:51:54,300 –> 00:51:56,900
\nIf you start preaching and
\ntalking and talking, they just <\/p>\n
872
\n00:51:56,900 –> 00:51:58,300
\nturn you off their eyes glaze
\nover. <\/p>\n
873
\n00:51:58,300 –> 00:51:59,500
\nAnd you know you’re not getting
\nthrough. <\/p>\n
874
\n00:52:00,400 –> 00:52:03,300
\nBut if you ask him a question,
\ndo you think Philadelphia is a <\/p>\n
875
\n00:52:03,300 –> 00:52:06,200
\nfunny name?
\nNo, I say Philadelphia. <\/p>\n
876
\n00:52:06,200 –> 00:52:09,100
\nYou don’t start laughing.
\nWell, Philadelphia is actually <\/p>\n
877
\n00:52:09,400 –> 00:52:11,700
\ntwo Greek words.
\nIt’s the word phileo. <\/p>\n
878
\n00:52:12,500 –> 00:52:16,300
\nAnd that’s the Greek words.
\nThat means love and Adelphia is <\/p>\n
879
\n00:52:16,300 –> 00:52:18,100
\na Greek word.
\nWhich means brother, when you <\/p>\n
880
\n00:52:18,100 –> 00:52:22,400
\nsay phileo, Adelphia, you’re
\nsaying love brother. <\/p>\n
881
\n00:52:22,800 –> 00:52:26,600
\nNow, we are Christ’s Adelphia
\nthe word Christ. <\/p>\n
882
\n00:52:26,600 –> 00:52:29,400
\nThat’s not a funny word,
\neverybody’s heard Christ and the<\/p>\n
883
\n00:52:29,400 –> 00:52:33,800
\nword, Adelphia nests or name.
\nAnd I go through this everybody <\/p>\n
884
\n00:52:33,800 –> 00:52:38,200
\nI meet So I had talked to truth
\nto a man about thirty years <\/p>\n
885
\n00:52:38,200 –> 00:52:43,600
\nbefore and he had moved away and
\nhe was came back to Pasadena as <\/p>\n
886
\n00:52:43,600 –> 00:52:48,600
\na manager of a new bank and we
\nwere going to buy a piece of <\/p>\n
887
\n00:52:48,600 –> 00:52:52,500
\nproperty for an office building
\nand I we needed to borrow some <\/p>\n
888
\n00:52:52,500 –> 00:52:55,100
\nmoney and I thought, well, you
\nremember me. <\/p>\n
889
\n00:52:55,100 –> 00:52:58,300
\nHe was a manager of a bank in
\nPasadena and he moved to Texas <\/p>\n
890
\n00:52:58,300 –> 00:53:01,600
\nand he’s back again.
\nSo I walked into his new bank <\/p>\n
891
\n00:53:01,800 –> 00:53:04,300
\nand he’s sitting there and he’s
\nbig corner office with all glass<\/p>\n
892
\n00:53:04,300 –> 00:53:07,300
\naround.
\nHe is on the telephone and I <\/p>\n
893
\n00:53:07,300 –> 00:53:10,300
\ntalked to his secretary outside
\nas I’d like to see mr. <\/p>\n
894
\n00:53:10,300 –> 00:53:13,100
\nGaston, when he gets off the
\nphone, she sure, I’ll tell me <\/p>\n
895
\n00:53:13,100 –> 00:53:16,300
\nyou’re here.
\nSo I stand outside. <\/p>\n
896
\n00:53:16,700 –> 00:53:19,200
\nShe goes in and she says,
\nthere’s a man here to see you. <\/p>\n
897
\n00:53:19,200 –> 00:53:23,600
\nHis name is Bob Lloyd.
\nSo, I walk into the office and <\/p>\n
898
\n00:53:23,600 –> 00:53:27,200
\nyoga is Joe Gaslight.
\nYou’ll just goes to show, how <\/p>\n
899
\n00:53:27,200 –> 00:53:29,500
\nare you Joe?
\nAnd he says, hi Bob, are you <\/p>\n
900
\n00:53:29,500 –> 00:53:38,600
\nstill a Philadelphian?
\nSo, you know, he remembered <\/p>\n
901
\n00:53:38,600 –> 00:53:42,300
\nsomething, even he kind of
\nbotched it up a little bit, but <\/p>\n
902
\n00:53:42,300 –> 00:53:47,400
\nthe point is all of us.
\nOne of the things you can do, is<\/p>\n
903
\n00:53:47,400 –> 00:53:51,500
\nyou go out and tell other people
\nyou are cuz delphian, and if <\/p>\n
904
\n00:53:51,500 –> 00:53:56,500
\nthey don’t want to listen, it’s
\nnot your problem. but Ezekiel <\/p>\n
905
\n00:53:56,500 –> 00:54:00,100
\nsays, if you don’t tell them,
\nIt’s your problem. <\/p>\n
906
\n00:54:00,900 –> 00:54:04,200
\nIf you tell them and they won’t
\nlisten, it’s their problem. <\/p>\n
907
\n00:54:04,600 –> 00:54:06,700
\nYou don’t have to be a rocket
\nscientist to figure out, it’s <\/p>\n
908
\n00:54:06,700 –> 00:54:08,400
\nbetter to be their problem than
\nyours. <\/p>\n
909
\n00:54:09,900 –> 00:54:13,800
\nSo one of the things we want to
\ndo when you leave here today is <\/p>\n
910
\n00:54:13,800 –> 00:54:18,800
\ndecide you’re going to be more
\nPersistent and sharing your hope<\/p>\n
911
\n00:54:18,800 –> 00:54:20,700
\nwith others.
\nYou don’t have to do it. <\/p>\n
912
\n00:54:20,707 –> 00:54:24,300
\nWell do it poorly till you get
\nbetter at it but believe me the <\/p>\n
913
\n00:54:24,300 –> 00:54:26,300
\nmore you preach, the better
\nyou’ll get at. <\/p>\n
914
\n00:54:26,300 –> 00:54:30,300
\nAnd so there’s a lots lots of
\nhomework for us to do when we <\/p>\n
915
\n00:54:30,300 –> 00:54:32,700
\nleave here because this was a
\nworkshop. <\/p>\n
916
\n00:54:32,700 –> 00:54:38,500
\nThis was this was not just to
\nentertain, this was to say, this<\/p>\n
917
\n00:54:38,500 –> 00:54:42,600
\nis a life-changing weekend and
\nwe’re going to leave this place <\/p>\n
918
\n00:54:42,600 –> 00:54:47,200
\nand try to be more faithful in
\nserving God, we’re Thank God for<\/p>\n
919
\n00:54:47,200 –> 00:54:49,200
\nour hurdles were going to stop
\ncomplaining when we have <\/p>\n
920
\n00:54:49,200 –> 00:54:53,100
\nproblems, we’re going to realize
\nlife is a test were being tested<\/p>\n
921
\n00:54:53,600 –> 00:54:57,500
\nand we life is Services is not
\nan option. <\/p>\n
922
\n00:54:58,100 –> 00:55:03,400
\nWe, you got things to do and so
\nyesterday you got around to it. <\/p>\n
923
\n00:55:04,300 –> 00:55:05,400

\nYou know, it was around to it <\/p>\n
924
\n00:55:05,400 –> 00:55:08,100
\nbecause it said it was a to it.
\nIf I think since it’s a to it <\/p>\n
925
\n00:55:08,100 –> 00:55:12,100
\nit’s a to it.
\nNow, I happen to be round, so it<\/p>\n
926
\n00:55:12,100 –> 00:55:14,700
\nwas around to it.
\nAnd people say, I’ll do <\/p>\n
927
\n00:55:14,700 –> 00:55:16,700
\nsomething when I get around to
\nit, you can’t use this in any <\/p>\n
928
\n00:55:16,700 –> 00:55:19,200
\nother countries except I’m
\nEnglish-speaking, doesn’t work. <\/p>\n

\nGood guy said, he’s a, you know
\nit’s a play on words. <\/p>\n
930
\n00:55:25,000 –> 00:55:27,000

\nnew one. <\/p>\n
931
\n00:55:29,100 –> 00:55:32,200
\nIt says it’s a to it.
\nSo it’s a two. <\/p>\n
932
\n00:55:32,200 –> 00:55:36,300
\nIt says he isn’t it, but the
\nlittle piece of wood now, will <\/p>\n
933
\n00:55:36,300 –> 00:55:38,300
\nyou call little pieces of wood
\nsticks? <\/p>\n
934
\n00:55:39,300 –> 00:55:47,600
\nSo this is a stick to it.
\nAnd you are now to get around to<\/p>\n
935
\n00:55:47,600 –> 00:55:51,000
\nit and seek first, the kingdom
\nof God, and now you are to stick<\/p>\n

\n00:55:51,000 –> 00:55:55,400
\nto it and be steadfast
\nimmovable, always abounding in <\/p>\n
937
\n00:55:55,400 –> 00:55:59,700
\nthe work of the Lord.
\nSo each of you now is we’re <\/p>\n
938
\n00:55:59,700 –> 00:56:03,900
\ngoing to pass these out in just
\na moment and take them home. <\/p>\n
939
\n00:56:03,900 –> 00:56:08,900
\nAs reminders of what we talked
\nabout, you do have to get around<\/p>\n
940
\n00:56:09,200 –> 00:56:11,700
\nto it and seeking first God’s
\nkingdom, you want to be in the <\/p>\n
941
\n00:56:11,700 –> 00:56:13,300
\nKingdom, more than your house.
\nAll the world. <\/p>\n
942
\n00:56:13,300 –> 00:56:15,800
\nI know that.
\nAnd now you have to keep on <\/p>\n
943
\n00:56:15,800 –> 00:56:20,000

\nAnd so I want to thank you for <\/p>\n
944
\n00:56:20,000 –> 00:56:23,000
\nthe patience that you’ve given
\nto me and these classes over the<\/p>\n
945
\n00:56:23,000 –> 00:56:26,200
\nlast two days and I’m going to
\nborrow some words from Paul. <\/p>\n
946
\n00:56:29,300 –> 00:56:31,600
\nHe said your bike to people, he
\nwould never see it again. <\/p>\n
947
\n00:56:34,200 –> 00:56:36,800
\nThey lived in Ephesus.
\nIt where did FSA travel down to <\/p>\n
948
\n00:56:36,800 –> 00:56:40,500
\nsee Paul but when they got
\nthere, he says, you will never <\/p>\n
949
\n00:56:40,500 –> 00:56:44,200
\nsee my face again.
\nAnd so they walked to the boat <\/p>\n
950
\n00:56:45,100 –> 00:56:50,500
\nand he said goodbye.
\nAnd they felt sad and his words <\/p>\n
951
\n00:56:51,200 –> 00:56:58,800
\nto them are by words to you.
\nI commend you to God and to the <\/p>\n
952
\n00:56:58,800 –> 00:57:03,800
\nword of his grace, which is able
\nto build you up and to give you <\/p>\n
953
\n00:57:03,800 –> 00:57:07,500
\nan inheritance, among all them
\nthat are sanctified.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
