Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the
Speaker 1: Bible teaching ministry that's here to encourage and inspire you
Speaker 1: every day. And today we're continuing our series called Awesome Relationships.
Speaker 1: In it, Rick Warren shares practical ways to help you
Speaker 1: take your relationships with family, friends, co workers, and even
Speaker 1: God from ordinary to extraordinary. And this is a series
Speaker 1: you don't want to miss, all right, So let's get
Speaker 1: to Rick with part two of a message called fighting
Speaker 1: for an Awesome Family.
Speaker 2: Second skill you have to learn in the family is
Speaker 2: how to handle conflict. And if you don't learn how
Speaker 2: to handle conflict in your marriage or in your family,
Speaker 2: you're going to have problems in your marriage because you
Speaker 2: don't know. Nobody taught you the skills on how to
Speaker 2: resolve and clarify conflict. And if kids don't see their
Speaker 2: parents working problem them out in front of them and
Speaker 2: showing how this is how we deal when we have
Speaker 2: a difference, this is how we deal when we get hurt,
Speaker 2: how we deal with when we get mad.
Speaker 3: Then you have a problem with that. And what happens
Speaker 3: is most.
Speaker 2: People in conflict, they become either a mute and a martyr,
Speaker 2: or they become a maniac. They either hold it in
Speaker 2: or they explode it. Everybody, if you don't learn how
Speaker 2: to deal with conflict, you tend to become a skunk
Speaker 2: or a turtle. Now, Skunks, when they're upset, they let
Speaker 2: everybody know it. They just stink up the place and
Speaker 2: they spray, and everybody knows they're ticked off.
Speaker 3: A turtle pulls.
Speaker 2: Into their shell and isolates and pulls back out of
Speaker 2: fear of conflict. Now here's the interesting thing. Skunks always
Speaker 2: marry turtles. Don't look at them, but you know, one
Speaker 2: of you is a skunk and one of you is.
Speaker 3: A turtle in your marriage. All right, it's all. It's
Speaker 3: true in every single marriage. All right.
Speaker 2: One of you is the aggressor and one of you
Speaker 2: pulls back. And neither of these is the more godly approach.
Speaker 2: So neither of you get the higher upper ground morally.
Speaker 2: They're both ineffective ways to deal with conflict. A third thing,
Speaker 2: really big thing you have to learn in family is
Speaker 2: how to handle loss, because you're gonna have a lot
Speaker 2: of losses in life. You're gonna have big losses, you're
Speaker 2: gonna have small losses, and you've got to teach kids
Speaker 2: and even parents have to learn how to grieve a
Speaker 2: loss because nobody wins all the time. In fact, for
Speaker 2: a kid to have an unbroken string of wins in
Speaker 2: early life with no losses is actually detrimental to them.
Speaker 2: You don't want your kid to win all the time,
Speaker 2: because when they get out in the real world and
Speaker 2: they face the inevitable losses that they're not number one
Speaker 2: all the time, it's devastating if they haven't learned it.
Speaker 2: Failure won't kill you. Failure won't destroy you. A loss
Speaker 2: won't be the end of your life. You don't win everything.
Speaker 2: It's like in a if you're a professional baseball team,
Speaker 2: it's actually good to have a few losses in pre
Speaker 2: season because then the pressure's off. What you don't want
Speaker 2: to do is have an unbroken season of all perfect
Speaker 2: wins and then lose in the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: That's the painful.
Speaker 2: If you're going to lose, you might as well lose
Speaker 2: early in life and learn from it. And so we
Speaker 2: learn how to deal with losses, and we treat the
Speaker 2: losses of kids as big things so they can learn
Speaker 2: how to grieve. I remember when Matthew, my youngest, was
Speaker 2: quite young and he had a pet hamster named Wilson,
Speaker 2: and Wilson died. Now, we didn't treat it and say, oh,
Speaker 2: he's just a hamster. Come on, I mean, really, it's
Speaker 2: just a glorified rat.
Speaker 3: You know, you know, you know we didn't. We didn't
Speaker 3: he just poop puts. Oh you could get another one.
Speaker 3: I'll get you another one tomorrow. No, we treated it
Speaker 3: very seriously.
Speaker 2: We had a family funeral for Wilson, and we went
Speaker 2: down into the canyon and we buried him in a
Speaker 2: little box, and we all stood around and we each
Speaker 2: had our little say of how much we loved Wilson,
Speaker 2: and well, how much he meant to our family, and
Speaker 2: things like that. And what I was doing is I
Speaker 2: was teaching the kids the theology of grief, that it's
Speaker 2: okay to express grief, it's okay to be sad. In fact,
Speaker 2: you're going to be sad many many times on life
Speaker 2: in much bigger ways. And so we don't demean it,
Speaker 2: we don't dismiss it. We deal with the losses of life.
Speaker 2: You know, there's another board game that we played a
Speaker 2: lot growing up. You know this one too. It's called
Speaker 2: Shoots and Ladders. How many remembers shoots and ladders. How
Speaker 2: many you have played shoots and ladders? Yeah, this is
Speaker 2: a metaphor for life, friends, because life is a matter
Speaker 2: of shoots and ladders. You roll the dice and when
Speaker 2: you hit a ladder, you get to go up, and
Speaker 2: you roll the dice, and when you hit a shoot,
Speaker 2: you go down. And that's the way life works. It's
Speaker 2: not all ups and downs. Now, one of the advantages
Speaker 2: of games like Shoots and ladders is because in games
Speaker 2: of chance, it puts adults on the exact same level
Speaker 2: as a kid. You don't have any advantage with your
Speaker 2: college degree in playing shoots and ladders. Okay, it's just
Speaker 2: the roll of the dice. So you're no better than
Speaker 2: a two year old at play in this game. And
Speaker 2: the fact is, in life, some things actually you take
Speaker 2: you up and you're gonna have some real successes in life.
Speaker 2: But don't get full of pride and don't get you know,
Speaker 2: full of ego, because on the next roll, you're gonna
Speaker 2: hit a shoot and you're going down. And sometimes you're
Speaker 2: ahead of everybody else in the family, but in two
Speaker 2: roles you may be behind everybody else in the family.
Speaker 3: That's life. That's life. That's the way life is.
Speaker 2: And it's teaching kids how to have ups and downs,
Speaker 2: ups and downs in life and not.
Speaker 3: Get upset about it.
Speaker 2: A game like this teaches things like take your turn,
Speaker 2: and some people never learn to take their turn. You
Speaker 2: can see them on the freeway. Okay, they're just cutting
Speaker 2: off everybody else. It's not like take your turn in
Speaker 2: getting into that lane.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: It teaches teamwork, but the main thing it teaches is
Speaker 2: how to win graciously and how losing won't destroy you.
Speaker 2: That is just a part of life. So that's one
Speaker 2: of the reasons the values of boards game is that
Speaker 2: teaches us how to handle losses. One of the verses
Speaker 2: you need to memorize. Whether you're a parent or not,
Speaker 2: every person should memorize this verse. Write it down. Proverbs
Speaker 2: twenty four to sixteen. You need to teach this verse
Speaker 2: to your children. Proverbs twenty four to sixteen. It's one
Speaker 2: of my life verses. It says this here on the screen,
Speaker 2: even if good people fall seven times, they'll get back
Speaker 2: up again. I love that verse says even good people fall.
Speaker 2: The word they're actually in Hebrew is the word righteous.
Speaker 2: It says, though a righteous man falls seven times, he
Speaker 2: rises again.
Speaker 3: Even when good people fall.
Speaker 2: You know what, even the best people, well intentioned people,
Speaker 2: they stumble, they mess up, they flub, they say the
Speaker 2: wrong thing, they do the wrong thing. We all fall,
Speaker 2: we all stumble, we all mess up, and when we fall,
Speaker 2: that's not the important thing.
Speaker 3: It says.
Speaker 2: Good people get back up again, even if they fall
Speaker 2: seven times. That's the difference between a success and a failure.
Speaker 2: That Verse is talking about what psychologists call resilience. Resilience
Speaker 2: is the most important characteristic for a child if they're
Speaker 2: going to succeed in life, resilience, do they have the ability.
Speaker 3: To get back up again?
Speaker 2: They fall off the bike, see a lot of kids
Speaker 2: learn I'm not even going to try because I stumbled once,
Speaker 2: so I give up. I went to one practice at
Speaker 2: music and I didn't like it, so I'm just going
Speaker 2: to give up. I went to one game in soccer
Speaker 2: and I didn't like it. All right, I messed up.
Speaker 2: I embarrassed myself, So I'm going to give up. And
Speaker 2: so people learn to give up, and then they spend
Speaker 2: the rest of their lives facing challenges and giving up.
Speaker 2: But in teaching a child resilience to keep on getting
Speaker 2: back up. Are the leaders of the world are people
Speaker 2: who have the most resilience. They're not any more successful.
Speaker 2: They have just as many losses in life. It's just
Speaker 2: they don't give up and they are resilient.
Speaker 3: Shoots and ladders metaphor for life.
Speaker 2: Number four. Fourth thing we learn from our families is
Speaker 2: we learn what values matter most. What values matter most,
Speaker 2: and you have to just help your kids know this
Speaker 2: is important and this is not now. Would you agree
Speaker 2: that the world is teaching our kids' values that aren't
Speaker 2: very good?
Speaker 3: Ever? I agree with that one.
Speaker 2: All around us, the world is teaching our kids' values
Speaker 2: that we don't agree with. The world teaches that all
Speaker 2: that matters is how you look. That image is everything
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what your character is, it's how you look.
Speaker 2: The world teaches that the more money you have, the
Speaker 2: more important you are, the more successful, the more fulfilled
Speaker 2: you'll be, the more significant your life is.
Speaker 3: That's not true. The world teaches is that everything is
Speaker 3: about sex. It's not. It's not.
Speaker 2: The world teaches that the more you can get people
Speaker 2: to praise you, the more valuable you are.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 2: And our kids are learning a lot of values from movies,
Speaker 2: from video games, from songs, from their friends, from alive culture,
Speaker 2: all these things that aren't true. It's important to teach
Speaker 2: our kids the three basic temptations of life. The only
Speaker 2: good thing you can say about Satan is he is
Speaker 2: entirely predictable and he doesn't have any new temptations. There
Speaker 2: are only three temptations. The Bible calls them the lust
Speaker 2: of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the
Speaker 2: pride of life. It has to do with how I feel,
Speaker 2: what I do, and what I get in life. A
Speaker 2: secularist or philosophy would call them hedonism, materialism, and secularism,
Speaker 2: but basically it's sex, salary, and status. It's basically saying
Speaker 2: life is about three things. Getting all the good things
Speaker 2: you can possessions, having all of the pleasure you want
Speaker 2: regardless of how it hurts other people. Passion and becoming
Speaker 2: important and having status position. These are the three temptations
Speaker 2: that Jesus went through, that Moses went through, that Adam
Speaker 2: went through. I could take you through the whole Bible
Speaker 2: and teaching our kids what these are so they can
Speaker 2: recognize false values that what matters most in life is sex,
Speaker 2: what matters most in life is money, and what matters
Speaker 2: most in life is power, prestige, and popularity.
Speaker 3: They're just not true.
Speaker 2: And every single advertising ever created by anybody appeals to
Speaker 2: one of these three temptations, every single one, every print ad,
Speaker 2: broadcast ad, TV ad appeals to the lust of the flesh,
Speaker 2: the lust of the eyes, of pride, of life. And
Speaker 2: the product says, you get our product, you'll be sensual,
Speaker 2: you'll feel good, you just have all kinds of pleasure
Speaker 2: inside of you. Or if you get our product, you'll
Speaker 2: be envied'll your number one. We do what's best for you,
Speaker 2: look out for number one. And they got to do
Speaker 2: what's best for me. And it's all about you. You,
Speaker 2: you or materialism. You need this product because it'll make
Speaker 2: you significant, it'll make you important. You know, when my
Speaker 2: kids were little, I taught them these three values. I said,
Speaker 2: these are the three values you're going to be up against,
Speaker 2: and none of them are true. And we would stand
Speaker 2: in front of the TV and watch commercials and I
Speaker 2: would pay them a nickel for the one who could
Speaker 2: figure out which value was being promoted.
Speaker 3: By that ad.
Speaker 2: Lust the flash boom, here's a nickel. Now I realized
Speaker 2: that was a materialism, but at least they were learning
Speaker 2: to spot what most kids and even adults except without question.
Speaker 2: We teach our kids the values that matter most. And
Speaker 2: the fifth thing we learn from our families is good habits.
Speaker 2: Good habits habits are determine your character. In one of
Speaker 2: the interviews I did at Bloctober one, little kids, I said,
Speaker 2: what did you learn from your family? He said that
Speaker 2: manners make the man. He said, my dad tells me
Speaker 2: that all the time. Manners make the man. I thought, WHOA,
Speaker 2: I know CEOs who don't know that. They're mean, They're rude,
Speaker 2: they're bossy, they're pushy, their prima donnas.
Speaker 3: They don't know that manners make the man.
Speaker 2: I'm going that little kid knows more than that ceo
Speaker 2: does about the real issue of character. Now, if one
Speaker 2: of the marks of an awesome family is that we
Speaker 2: help each other grow, how do you do that? How
Speaker 2: do you help mom grow? How do you help dad grow?
Speaker 2: How do you help brother and sister grow? How do
Speaker 2: you help your nephews grow and nieces grow? Well, let
Speaker 2: me give you two ways that help people grow in
Speaker 2: two ways that don't. This applies in every area of life.
Speaker 2: Two ways that help people grow. Number one, we grow
Speaker 2: through example through example, Jesus did this and tea the
Speaker 2: disciples John thirteen. He says, since I have washed your feet,
Speaker 2: which was a model of humility and service, it's an
Speaker 2: act of service. Since I've washed your feet, you ought
Speaker 2: to wash each other's feet. I've given you an example
Speaker 2: to follow. Do as I've done to you. We learn
Speaker 2: best by example. Your kids don't want to hear a sermon,
Speaker 2: they want to see it. They want to see it
Speaker 2: in your life. And second way we help people grow
Speaker 2: is through conversations, critical conversations. If you're not having conversations
Speaker 2: with your kids about real issues, they're not growing. We
Speaker 2: grow through conversations. Unfortunately, most conversations we have with kids
Speaker 2: have to do with we need to get here by
Speaker 2: this time and get back to here by this time,
Speaker 2: and conversations are about schedule, eating, or homework, and no
Speaker 2: conversations about the stuff that.
Speaker 3: Really matters in life.
Speaker 2: Deuteronomy chapter six, verse seven is very specific and it
Speaker 2: says this to parents, you must teach God's commandment.
Speaker 3: That's not an option.
Speaker 2: You must teach God's commandments to your children and talk
Speaker 2: about them. Circle that talk about them. That means conversations.
Speaker 2: You're to have conversations with your kids about the Bible,
Speaker 2: talk about them. And then it gives us four places
Speaker 2: to do this when you are at home. You might
Speaker 2: circle these four things when you are at home, when
Speaker 2: you are.
Speaker 3: Out for a walk.
Speaker 2: The third time is at bedtime, and then number four
Speaker 2: the first thing in the morning breakfast. He's saying, these
Speaker 2: are the teachable moments of your family.
Speaker 3: When you're at home, when you're out for a walk.
Speaker 2: In other words, you're relaxing, recreation time, you're fishing, you're playing,
Speaker 2: at bedtime, and first thing in the morning, the four
Speaker 2: teachable moments. Now, friends, this is what God tells us
Speaker 2: to do, and this is why most families are not awesome.
Speaker 2: Those families aren't awesome, they're just average. And the reason
Speaker 2: they're average is because they don't do what God says.
Speaker 2: God says, you need to talk about the things.
Speaker 3: That are important at home, when you're.
Speaker 2: Relaxing, when you're on vacation, when you're having a walk.
Speaker 2: You need to do it, at bedtime conversations, you need
Speaker 2: to do breakfast conversations.
Speaker 3: He said.
Speaker 2: If you're not doing this, you're never gonna have an
Speaker 2: awesome family.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have an average family.
Speaker 2: So by example and by conversations are the two ways
Speaker 2: we help each other grow. You can help your wife
Speaker 2: your husband grow through by example and through conversation. Let
Speaker 2: me tell you two ways that don't work, and it's
Speaker 2: the ones we all use. Write these down not through criticism,
Speaker 2: not through criticizing. We think that being critical of someone
Speaker 2: will actually help them grow.
Speaker 3: It has never ever ever worked.
Speaker 2: Nagging doesn't work, condemning doesn't work. Criticizing and complaining doesn't work.
Speaker 2: It is totally ineffective in helping a person change. Why
Speaker 2: because when you criticize, your focusing on what you don't
Speaker 2: want rather than what you do want.
Speaker 3: For instance, if I'm.
Speaker 2: A professional pitching coach for the Angels or for any team,
Speaker 2: and I go out on an important game and I
Speaker 2: go out to the picture on the mountain, and I
Speaker 2: say the picture, whatever you do, don't throw a curveball.
Speaker 2: What have I just planted in his mind a picture
Speaker 2: of a curveball. I didn't give him a picture of
Speaker 2: the right thing to do. I gave him a picture
Speaker 2: of the wrong thing to do, and I told him
Speaker 2: to focus on the wrong thing. And that's pretty much
Speaker 2: guarantee he's not going to do the right thing. When
Speaker 2: you criticize a child, or your wife, or your husband
Speaker 2: or anybody else, they go, yeah, you're right. Criticizing just
Speaker 2: labels people. It reinforces negative It does not work. So
Speaker 2: why are you so critical? Why are you so rough?
Speaker 2: Why are you so tough on your kids? Why I
Speaker 2: want them to be tough. You're not making them tough.
Speaker 2: You're making them a failure. Through all your incessant criticizing,
Speaker 2: they never measure up. And at some point when it's
Speaker 2: criticism criticism, kid just goes, Okay, I give up. I
Speaker 2: can't please my dad, I can't please my mom. I
Speaker 2: just give up. And so let me just show you
Speaker 2: how lazy I can be. Let me show you how
Speaker 2: late I can be. Let me show you how irresponsible
Speaker 2: I can be. I'll show you. And so it doesn't
Speaker 2: work judging, criticizing, demean It didn't work on you. By
Speaker 2: the way, it doesn't work in preaching either, which is
Speaker 2: why I don't use it on you. I could get
Speaker 2: up here every week and say, okay, let's talk about
Speaker 2: your sins this week. That'll be a four hour sermon.
Speaker 2: And I could get up here every week and tell
Speaker 2: you everything you're doing wrong.
Speaker 3: It doesn't work.
Speaker 2: Why Number one, you know what you're doing wrong, and
Speaker 2: me telling you about it isn't going to change it.
Speaker 2: You have to promote the positive alternative that's called repentance.
Speaker 2: Change your mind. Every one of my sermons are preaching
Speaker 2: for repentance. Repentance doesn't mean stop doing bad. It means
Speaker 2: start doing good. And that's what it's all about. So
Speaker 2: not do criticism. Look at what the Bible says. Ephesian
Speaker 2: six 's four to parents, don't keep on scolding and
Speaker 2: nagging your children doesn't work making them angry and resentful. Instead,
Speaker 2: bring them up with the loving training and teaching of
Speaker 2: the Lord. Another verse in the Bible, Colossians, chapter three,
Speaker 2: it says specifically to dad, says, Dad, don't be so hard.
Speaker 3: On your kids, you drive them to resentment.
Speaker 2: Says, don't keep demeaning them, don't keep criticizing them, don't
Speaker 2: keep judging them, don't keep telling them everything they're doing
Speaker 2: wrong that makes them angry and bitter. He says, that's
Speaker 2: dumb for a dad to do. Not to criticize it.
Speaker 2: And then there's another one that we use, and this
Speaker 2: one doesn't work either. We don't help people grow this way,
Speaker 2: not through comparing. Anytime you compare anybody to anybody else,
Speaker 2: you've made.
Speaker 3: A major mistake in life.
Speaker 2: Why Because everybody's unique, everybody's different. There's nobody in the
Speaker 2: world like you, so you are incomparable, and the Bible
Speaker 2: tells us not to compare. You should never compare your
Speaker 2: wife to anybody else. You should never compare your husband
Speaker 2: anybody else. You should never compare your lawn or your house,
Speaker 2: your job to anybody else. You certainly should never compare
Speaker 2: your kids. Why can't you be more like your brother?
Speaker 2: Why can't you be more like your mom? Why can't
Speaker 2: you be.
Speaker 3: More like your dad?
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why, because I'm not them, and neither
Speaker 2: are you. Comparing never never works, and when you do it,
Speaker 2: it's unhelpful, it's unfair, and it's lethal to any relationship.
Speaker 2: You start comparing your wife with somebody else, you're headed.
Speaker 3: For divorce court. It's lethal. Just stop doing.
Speaker 2: The Bible says over and over again, you should never compare.
Speaker 2: Let me show you one verse Galatians six'. Four each
Speaker 2: person should judge his own. Actions let me be the
Speaker 2: judge of my own actions and not compare himself with.
Speaker 2: Others then he could be proud for what he himself has.
Speaker 2: Done he, said wait a, MINUTE i thought pride was a.
Speaker 2: Sin there's a good kind of pride and there's a
Speaker 2: bad kind of. Pride the good kind of pride, is,
Speaker 2: HEY i did the BEST i could with WHAT i.
Speaker 3: Had i'm proud of WHAT i.
Speaker 2: Did the bad kind of pride Is i'm better than
Speaker 2: so and so over.
Speaker 3: There that's.
Speaker 2: COMPARING i have a, justifiable legitimate pride in. YOU i
Speaker 2: Love Saddleback, church AND i love you BECAUSE i love
Speaker 2: What god has done doing through, you all the five
Speaker 2: hundred ministries in the, community all the things we're doing
Speaker 2: around the. World this church is unique in so many,
Speaker 2: ways in so many areas and giving in, commitment in,
Speaker 2: love in just the, things the.
Speaker 3: Impact that we. Make AND i am.
Speaker 2: Proud justifiably proud of, you and there's nothing wrong with.
Speaker 2: That what's wrong is IF i say we're better than another?
Speaker 3: Church does that make?
Speaker 2: Sense the MOMENT i, compare the pride becomes. Sin so
Speaker 2: you take pride in yourself for MAN i did with
Speaker 2: the Gifts god gave. ME i did the BEST i.
Speaker 2: COULD i feel pretty good about. That you can take
Speaker 2: pride in a job well. Done the moment you start comparing,
Speaker 2: yourself BUT i did better than that. Guy now it's
Speaker 2: fallen into. Sin so don't.
Speaker 3: Compare.
Speaker 2: Now let me give you a third symbol of an awesome.
Speaker 2: Family and the third symbol of an awesome family is.
Speaker 1: A.
Speaker 2: Raincoat and it's a. Raincoat what is a raincoat for
Speaker 2: a raincoat for? Protection you remember? These you remember you gonna.

Speaker 2: matthew five. P forty, Five jesus said, this it rains
Speaker 2: on both those who do right and those who do.
Speaker 2: Wrong what does that verse? Mean it means good things
Speaker 2: and bad things come into everybody's, life whether you're doing
Speaker 2: it right or doing it. Wrong so next time you
Speaker 2: think you got a problem with, Well god must be punishing.
