Speaker 1: Hey everyone, thanks for joining us today on Pastor Rick's
Speaker 1: Daily Hope.
Speaker 2: This is the place.
Speaker 1: Where Rick Warren brings you uplifting messages from God's Word
Speaker 1: every day to help you grow deeper in faith and
Speaker 1: live a life with purpose. Today we're continuing in a
Speaker 1: powerful series called Toolbox for Life. In this series, Rick
Speaker 1: teaches us four essential skills that you need to succeed
Speaker 1: wherever God has placed you, whether it's at home, at work,
Speaker 1: at school, or in your community. These are tools that
Speaker 1: every follower of Jesus absolutely needs. And right now, here's
Speaker 1: Pastor Rick Warren with part one of a message called
Speaker 1: Learning to Be Both Fast and Slow.
Speaker 2: This weekend, I want us to look at the skill
Speaker 2: of timing.
Speaker 3: The title of the message is called learning to be
Speaker 3: Both Fast and Slow.
Speaker 2: And let me explain it a little bit.
Speaker 3: Every great acomplishment ever in history has an element of
Speaker 3: timing to it. When you're watching a football game and
Speaker 3: you see a football player catch a beautiful pass, it's
Speaker 3: only because they had worked out the timing between the
Speaker 3: quarterback and the wide receiver.
Speaker 2: And if that.
Speaker 3: Timing is off, there's no reception. It's all a matter
Speaker 3: of timing. Now, this is true in every area of life.
Speaker 3: It's true in business. Any business investor will tell you
Speaker 3: that timing is a large part of knowing when to buy,
Speaker 3: knowing when to sell, knowing when to make a deal,
Speaker 3: knowing when to merge, and knowing when not to merge,
Speaker 3: when to diversify. It's all a matter of timing. If
Speaker 3: you are a singer, you have to know how to
Speaker 3: sing the notes at the right time. If you're a musician,
Speaker 3: you know how to have to keep time in the beat.
Speaker 3: If you are a speaker, you have to know good
Speaker 3: timing in the way you deliver the words. The secret
Speaker 3: between a funny joke and a joke that bombs is
Speaker 3: often a matter of timing. And if you have comedic timing,
Speaker 3: you're just good at it, and if you don't, you
Speaker 3: suck at it. The key to being a great speaker
Speaker 3: and creating tension in UH in a speech is.
Speaker 2: Timing. Timing. Now uh, this is true in every area
Speaker 2: of life.
Speaker 3: This week, I was told that saddle Back once again
Speaker 3: was named the most influential American church, this time by
Speaker 3: news UH Newsmax magazine. It's We've been named it several
Speaker 3: times and to a large degree, Saddleback's influence around the
Speaker 3: world is simply because we're good at timing.
Speaker 2: We call it walking in the spirit.
Speaker 3: We watch what God is doing in the world and
Speaker 3: we say we're gonna get involved in that. I never
Speaker 3: never pray God bless what I'm doing. Never I pray God,
Speaker 3: help me to do what you're blessing. And I look
Speaker 3: around the world and I see, Oh, God's doing that,
Speaker 3: and God's doing that, and God's doing that.
Speaker 2: I'd like to get in on that.
Speaker 3: And then my prayer is, God, would you give me
Speaker 3: the privilege of just being a part of what you
Speaker 3: happen to be doing at this particular moment in history.
Speaker 3: And so being sensitive to how God works in the
Speaker 3: world is really a matter of timing. The Bible says
Speaker 3: it like this, they're on the top of your outline
Speaker 3: Ecclesiastes eight six. There is a right time, and there's
Speaker 3: a right way to do everything. But we know so
Speaker 3: little now that implies that timing. Doing the right time
Speaker 3: that's timing, and doing it in the right way that's execution.
Speaker 3: That both of those are skills, and we don't happen
Speaker 3: to know those skills. So we're not very good at it,
Speaker 3: but it means that you can learn these things. Years ago,
Speaker 3: when I wrote the book Purpose Driven Church back in
Speaker 3: the nineties, the first chapter was called Surfing Spiritual Waves,
Speaker 3: and I compared leadership to surfing because here in Southern California,
Speaker 3: of course, we got a lot of surfers. I used
Speaker 3: to have a board and it's very poor at surfing,
Speaker 3: but had a lot of fun doing that it falling
Speaker 3: off the board. But surfers don't create waves. Surfers only
Speaker 3: surf the waves that God makes. You've never seen a
Speaker 3: surfer who said, oh, let's go create a wave, because
Speaker 3: you can't create a wave. You just have to wait
Speaker 3: for God to send one in. And surfing involves a
Speaker 3: lot of patients and you paddle out and then you
Speaker 3: wait for that perfect wave to come. And then it's
Speaker 3: actually harder than it looks because you've got to learn
Speaker 3: how to surf the wave. You got to learn how
Speaker 3: to balance on the wave, you got to learn how
Speaker 3: to get off the wave without wiping out. And it's
Speaker 3: actually more skilled than a lot of people realize. But
Speaker 3: no surfer has ever tried to create a wave. He
Speaker 3: or she simply serfs the waves that God creates. And
Speaker 3: that's what we've tried to do it so saddleback for
Speaker 3: thirty five years. We don't try to create a waves
Speaker 3: of God's working. We just say what is God doing?
Speaker 3: And we move slow when God moves slow, and we
Speaker 3: move fast when God moves fast.
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about that.
Speaker 3: This weekend because it's a skill you must learn to
Speaker 3: succeed in your life. There is a rhythm to life.
Speaker 3: There is a rhythm to love, and there is a
Speaker 3: rhythm to leadership. And so sometimes you have to move
Speaker 3: fast and sometimes you.
Speaker 2: Have to move slow.
Speaker 3: Wise people know how to cooperate with those rhythms in life.
Speaker 3: And as I said, that's often called walking in the spirit,
Speaker 3: where you learn to sense when to go fast and
Speaker 3: when to go slow. I was laughing that last week
Speaker 3: when Pastor Tommy was teaching. Remember we talked about how
Speaker 3: he hates to run. Remember that, and you know Tommy
Speaker 3: don't run. And I laughed at all four services when
Speaker 3: he said that. But the Bible actually does have a
Speaker 3: lot to say about running. In fact, the Bible compares
Speaker 3: your life to a race. And the Bible tells us
Speaker 3: that Jesus had a sense of urgency about his life
Speaker 3: in his ministry. In fact, about fifteen times in the
Speaker 3: Bible the word Jesus and the word immediately are in
Speaker 3: the same verse, and it says, and Jesus immediately did this.
Speaker 3: Some people think Jesus was always slow, sometimes he was fast,
Speaker 3: sometimes he was very fast. And immediately Jesus did this.
Speaker 3: He me healed that person, and he went to this place,
Speaker 3: and he confronted that person on and on and on,
Speaker 3: and just as Jesus had a sense of urgency, so
Speaker 3: did Paul. Let me show you some verses here on
Speaker 3: the screen. The Bible says in one Timothy six', twelve
Speaker 3: run hard and fast in the. Faith god wants you
Speaker 3: to run. Hard god wants you to run fast in the.
Speaker 3: Faith that's the message prayer. Phrase then The bible, says
Speaker 3: Verse grinding nine twenty, four run in such a way
Speaker 3: as to get the. Prize AND i notice he doesn't say,
Speaker 3: Walk he says. Run sometimes you need to go. Fast
Speaker 3: and then the next verse says this Verse corinthians nine twenty,
Speaker 3: SIX i run straight to the goal with purpose in every.
Speaker 3: Step paul was purpose. Driven and then one more Verse
Speaker 3: philippians three, TWELVE i run to.
Speaker 2: WIN i run to. Win so, clearly.
Speaker 3: There's a many passages in scripture Where god, SAYS i
Speaker 3: want you to go. Fast but there are also many
Speaker 3: passages in scripture When god, SAYS i want you to go.
Speaker 3: SLOW i want you to, WAIT i want you to,
Speaker 3: DELAY i want you to not. MOVE i want you
Speaker 3: to stand still and see the salvation of The. Lord
Speaker 3: so learning the difference is a very important skill to
Speaker 3: being effective at, life effective at, love and effective at.
Speaker 3: Leadership knowing when to go fast and knowing when to go.
Speaker 3: Slow and that's what we're going to look at this.
Speaker 3: Weekend let's look first at what Does god want me
Speaker 3: to do when he wants me to move? Fast when
Speaker 3: does he want me to move with? Speed and now
Speaker 3: this is not an exhaustive, list it's just a. REPRESENTATIVE
Speaker 3: i could have given you a very very long list
Speaker 3: many many, others but this is just representative of When
Speaker 3: god wants you to move. Fast and because it's, That
Speaker 3: i'm going to go through it very. Quickly so you
Speaker 3: have to write fast number. ONE i should move fast
Speaker 3: When god tells me to do. Something When god tells
Speaker 3: me to do, SOMETHING i should move fast to do. It,
Speaker 3: now The bible is filled with all kinds of life.
Speaker 3: Instructions they're called the commands Of, god the decrees Of.
Speaker 3: God they're called the precepts Of. God And god expects
Speaker 3: us to obey his.
Speaker 2: Commands how many of you are? Parents CAN i see your?
Speaker 3: Hands what if your child came to you and you,
Speaker 3: SAID i want you to do, this AND i want
Speaker 3: you to obey.
Speaker 2: Me the said i'll think about. It there would be.
Speaker 3: Consequences but we do that To god all the. Time god,
Speaker 3: SAYS i want you to Do i'll think about. It oh,
Speaker 3: really SO i have the authority to Tell god i'll
Speaker 3: think about. It that's as much rebellion as it is
Speaker 3: a child saying go to a. Parent when the creator
Speaker 3: comes up with an, idea he expects us to do.
Speaker 3: It every parent knows that delayed obedience is. Disobedience if
Speaker 3: a child, says, well i'll do it WHEN i get
Speaker 3: around to, it that's not.
Speaker 2: Obedience that's.
Speaker 3: Disobedience The bible Says god wants us to move fast
Speaker 3: when he tells us to do. SOMETHING a couple, Examples
Speaker 3: mark one seventeen and. Eighteen jesus said to, them come follow.
Speaker 3: Me So simon And andrew immediately left their.
Speaker 2: Nets not the next, day not the next. Week immediate
Speaker 2: left their nets and followed. Him what does it? Means
Speaker 2: they left their.
Speaker 3: Job they walked away from their job when a guy
Speaker 3: said to, them follow.
Speaker 2: Me that's immediate. Obedience immediate, obedience.
Speaker 3: The bible says In psalm one, nineteen verse, sixty without,
Speaker 3: DELAY i hurry to. Obey i'll hurry to obey your.
Speaker 3: Commands circle the word. Hurry we often think hurry in.
Speaker 2: A negative term.
Speaker 3: Today it reminds us of, stress, problems, pressures and the
Speaker 3: hurry and worry and. Bustle but hurry is always a
Speaker 3: good word when it comes to. Obedience The bible, SAYS
Speaker 3: i hurry to obey your.
Speaker 2: Commands so my.
Speaker 3: Question AS i start is to simply ask, you what
Speaker 3: is it that you Know god's told you to do
Speaker 3: and you haven't started doing it? Yet you know, it
Speaker 3: and you're not doing. It god, SAYS i want you
Speaker 3: to do it? Quickly what are you?
Speaker 2: Waiting? On number?
Speaker 3: TWO i should move fast not only When god tells
Speaker 3: me to do. SOMETHING i should move fast WHEN i
Speaker 3: need to ask or offer. Forgiveness now this is really
Speaker 3: for your own, benefit because your body was not designed
Speaker 3: to carry.
Speaker 2: Guilt and. RESENTMENT i should.
Speaker 3: Move quickly WHEN i need to ask forgiveness or offer.
Speaker 3: Forgiveness we spend much of our lives abusing our bodies
Speaker 3: because of guilt over something we've done to, others and
Speaker 3: over bitterness over something other people have done to. Us
Speaker 3: doctors say you could clear out about fifty percent of
Speaker 3: the people in hospitals today if they knew how to
Speaker 3: get rid of guilt and, bitterness guilt and.
Speaker 2: Resentment and what we.
Speaker 3: Do is we crucify ourselves between two, crosses guilt and
Speaker 3: resentment for the past and worry about the, future and
Speaker 3: we mess.
Speaker 2: Up today as a. Result god, says.
Speaker 3: You should never carry, guilt or you should never carry.
Speaker 3: Resentment it's like poison in your. Body you need to
Speaker 3: deal with it. IMMEDIATELY i move. Fast The bible says
Speaker 3: In matthew, five verse twenty two and twenty three is
Speaker 3: from The sermon on The, Mount jesus, says if you're
Speaker 3: giving an offering at worship and you suddenly remember that
Speaker 3: somebody is something against, you in other, words have got a.
Speaker 2: Grudge or something against.
Speaker 3: You leave your offering and go immediately circle that go
Speaker 3: immediately to that person and be, reconciled then you can
Speaker 3: come back to worship and offer your. Gift in other,
Speaker 3: words don't ever use worship as an excuse to procrastinate
Speaker 3: dealing with. Somebody now this is not rocket. Science WHEN
Speaker 3: i say who is it you need to get right?
Speaker 3: With you immediately know that person that you've had a
Speaker 3: grudge against or they've had a grudge against, you and
Speaker 3: there's been, strained there's been. Tension god, says why are
Speaker 3: you carrying? THAT i never meant for your body to
Speaker 3: carry that guilt OR i never meant for your body
Speaker 3: to carry that. Resentment who do you need to reconcile?
Speaker 3: With you need to do it quickly the. Law every
Speaker 3: day that you don't do, it you harm yourself, mentally,
Speaker 3: spiritually and even. Physically number, THREE i should move fast
Speaker 3: WHEN i feel. Tempted The bible says that when, UNTEMPTED
Speaker 3: i need to move quickly out of the tempting. Situation
Speaker 3: Now i've talked to you about this.
Speaker 2: Before in. Detail we've studied.
Speaker 3: Temptation that you need to have preventative strategies to keep
Speaker 3: you from being, tempted and you need emergency strategies which
Speaker 3: are kind of like the panic. Button when all of
Speaker 3: a sudden you're tempted in a situation you didn't realize
Speaker 3: was going to come, up and all of a, sudden
Speaker 3: you're there on a business, trip or there in front
Speaker 3: of the, television or there in a hundred other, places
Speaker 3: and you weren't expecting the. Temptation it came out of
Speaker 3: the left, field and all of a, sudden you're just
Speaker 3: overwhelmed with a desire to do something you know is
Speaker 3: neither good for you nor good for, others and not
Speaker 3: honoring To. God what do you do in those, Emergencies,
Speaker 3: well The bible, says real, quickly, run it says, run
Speaker 3: get away from the. Situation don't. Try when you are
Speaker 3: in the moment of, temptation you're being, tempted and it
Speaker 3: could be a financial temptation to, cheat it could be
Speaker 3: a sexual, temptation it could be any kind of Tempt
Speaker 3: there are thousands of temptations in that.
Speaker 2: Moment never argue with the. Temptation you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Lose you're gonna lose because emotions take, over and emotions aren't.
Speaker 3: Logical you can be logical all you, want and when you're.
Speaker 2: Emotional on, something it just takes. Over that's Why.
Speaker 3: WHEN i was a youth pastor many years, ago AND
Speaker 3: i used to tell, kids don't decide that you're going
Speaker 3: to be sexually pure and save yourself from marriage in
Speaker 3: the back seat of a. Car that's not when you,
Speaker 3: decide because you've got to decide long before, that so
Speaker 3: you don't end up. There because if you end up
Speaker 3: in the backseat of a, car you're gonna move by your,
Speaker 3: glands not your, plans and those hormones are gonna kick
Speaker 3: in and you're just. Overwhelmed so The bible, says listen
Speaker 3: when you are. Tempted it, says don't fight, it don't resist,
Speaker 3: it replace.
Speaker 2: It.
Speaker 3: Run that's the simplest turn the. Channel get out of the.
Speaker 3: Situation if you don't want to get, stung get away
Speaker 3: from the.
Speaker 2: Bees if you're trying trying to SAY i.
Speaker 3: Don't want to drink alcohol, anymore then you don't go
Speaker 3: to bars for the. Pretzels you just don't put yourself
Speaker 3: in those. Situations now here's what The bible. Says One
Speaker 3: timothy six.' eleven run away from all evil Things one.
Speaker 3: Corinthians ten run away from the worship. Of idols, YOU
Speaker 3: say i don't worship. Any, idols oh you do all.
Speaker 3: The time you idolize all kinds. Of stuff what's? An
Speaker 3: idol i'm not talking about A little god sitting on a.
Speaker 3: Desk here an idol is anything you Put. Before god
Speaker 3: your boat could be, an idol your job could be,
Speaker 3: An idol your spouse could be, an idol your children
Speaker 3: could be. An idol anything that you put first place
Speaker 3: in your Life. Before god that's. Called idolatry they may,
Speaker 3: be good but they don't deserve To have god's role in.
Speaker 3: Your life anytime you take a person and you elevate
Speaker 3: Them above god and their opinion matters to you More,
Speaker 3: than god you've just made. An idol and so we
Speaker 3: idolize things all. The Time the, bible says run from worship.
Speaker 3: Of idols So the bible says In first, parenthieon six
Speaker 3: run away from. Sexual sin so he's, saying here WHEN
Speaker 3: do i move Fast when god tells me to, DO
Speaker 3: something i do? It immediately WHEN do i move FAST
Speaker 3: when i need to ask or? Offer forgiveness and WHEN
Speaker 3: do i move Fast when i'm? FEELING tempted i need
Speaker 3: to just get out of. The situation don't, fight it.
Speaker 3: Flee it don't, resist it run, from it, replace it
Speaker 3: turn your mind onto.
Speaker 2: Something else.
Speaker 3: Number Four the bible SAYS that i should move Fast
Speaker 3: when i've made a Promise. To God when i've made
Speaker 3: a Promise, To god god expects me to, keep it
Speaker 3: and sooner rather. Than later now we've all made Promises
Speaker 3: to god that we've forgotten or even gotten. Lazy About
Speaker 3: the bible says This in, ecclesiastes five.
Speaker 2: Verse four.
Speaker 3: When you make a Promise, to god keep it as quickly.
Speaker 3: As possible, notice that in, OTHER words i should, move
Speaker 3: fast keep.
Speaker 2: It as quickly. As possible god.
Speaker 3: Is not happy with, foolish people and he says it's
Speaker 3: foolish to make a promise and then not. Keep it
Speaker 3: do what you promised. To do, so question what promise
Speaker 3: do you need? To keep and you need to do it?
Speaker 3: This week you need to do. It now maybe you made.
Speaker 3: A promise some of you made a promise to read Through,
Speaker 3: the bible maybe even read it in, the ear and
Speaker 3: you got bogged down and you just. Gave up or
Speaker 3: you made a promise to invite somebody at church and
Speaker 3: then you just kind of got lazy and didn't. Do
Speaker 3: it he made a promise to yourself Or to god
Speaker 3: that you were going to start. Serving somewhere we've all
Speaker 3: made Promises. To god, god says if you make, A,
Speaker 3: promise god. Fulfill it immediately keep it as quickly. As
Speaker 3: Possible and i'll tell you a little Secret because i've
Speaker 3: learned this from. Personal experience when you make a Promise
Speaker 3: to god and then you fulfill it before you said
Speaker 3: you would, Fulfill it god goes crazy. With blessing god
Speaker 3: opens the floodgates of blessing in. Your life god says
Speaker 3: THAT guy i can, depend on that guy, Is responsible
Speaker 3: that guy is a person.
Speaker 2: Of integrity he she keeps, her word they keep.
Speaker 3: Their promise and there's almost Nothing that god won't do
Speaker 3: for the person who shows integrity. And responsibility AND so
Speaker 3: i would, encourage you whatever promise should Make, to god
Speaker 3: try to fulfill it before it's. Actually due now another
Speaker 3: Way that god wants. Another Time when god wants you
Speaker 3: to move fast, as this write. It DOWN when i
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to, DO good i should.
Speaker 2: Move fast Every.
Speaker 3: Day god gives you little opportunities to show kindness to people,
Speaker 3: around you and he's watching to see if you're going
Speaker 3: to be self centered and oblivious to the people who are, around
Speaker 3: you or you're actually going to notice the people who
Speaker 3: need a word. OF encouragement i need a pat on,
Speaker 3: the back maybe need an errand or, a loan or
Speaker 3: a babysitter or some practical means. Of Help and, god
Speaker 3: says this is.
Speaker 2: A test and.
Speaker 3: If you want to learn how to move in the Spirit,
Speaker 3: of god you've got to learn how to move fast
Speaker 3: when you have an opportunity to. Do good here's What
Speaker 3: the Bible says proverbs three. Twenty seven do not withhold
Speaker 3: good from those who deserve it while it is in
Speaker 3: your power. To act you're not going to have that,
Speaker 3: Opportunity forever so, just nike just. Do it you know
Speaker 3: there are people in your life that you've. Thought, About
Speaker 3: oh i'd like to do that for, my Neighbors or
Speaker 3: i'd like to do something kind for that person, at
Speaker 3: Work or i'd like to help that person down, the
Speaker 3: Street or i'd like and you you have all of the,
Speaker 3: best intentions but you don't do anything.
Speaker 2: About.
Speaker 3: It now we make all kinds, of excuses and one
Speaker 3: of the most famous ones, is this when things.
Speaker 2: Settled down you ever heard?
Speaker 3: That one when things, settle Down then i'm gonna do.
Speaker 2: THIS thing i hate to tell. You this it's not gonna.
Speaker 2: Settle down.
Speaker 3: Your life is never going to. Settle down it's. A
Speaker 3: myth it's never gonna. Settle down if you're gonna do
Speaker 3: any good with, your life you better do it now
Speaker 3: while you got, the chance because you're not gonna get
Speaker 3: a better chance than. Right now look at this verse
Speaker 3: on The screen ecclesiastes eleven. To four if you wait for,
Speaker 3: perfect conditions you will never get. Anything done anybody agree with?
Speaker 3: THAT verse i wanna give. A, testimony yeah if you
Speaker 3: wait for, perfect conditions you never get. Anything done everything
Speaker 3: that's done in life that's good has to be done in.
Speaker 3: Imperfect conditions making that meal for, a neighbor or doing
Speaker 3: something kind for. Somebody else we make all these. Excuses
Speaker 3: now the reason for doing, it now The reason god
Speaker 3: says to do, it fast is because you're not. Guaranteed
Speaker 3: tomorrow i'm not and. You're not jesus said it like
Speaker 3: This in. John nine all of us must quickly carry
Speaker 3: out the tasks circle the. Word quickly all of us
Speaker 3: must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us By the
Speaker 3: father who sent me he's Talking, About, god God. The
Speaker 3: father we miss quickly carry out. The task god has
Speaker 3: some assigned task for you to do with, your life
Speaker 3: and your life is, ticking away and if you're not
Speaker 3: going to get it, done now you may not.
Speaker 2: Get the opportunity to.
Speaker 3: Do it so whatever you're going to do with, your
Speaker 3: life you better get on with. It now, he said
Speaker 3: we must carry out quickly the tasks assigned us By
Speaker 3: the father because there is little time left before the
Speaker 3: night falls and all work comes to. An, end question
Speaker 3: what kind act have you been intending? To do, You,
Speaker 3: Thought oh i'd really like to do this for, that
Speaker 3: person but you still haven't done.

Speaker 3: your husband or, your wife or a friend or neighbor
Speaker 3: or a relative or boyfriend, or girlfriend and you. Like

Speaker 3: end of, the day if you haven't done. That now
Speaker 3: not everything, in, life though is to be done at.
Speaker 3: High Speed the bible also has a lot of verses

Speaker 3: Is everything there's a rhythm. To Life the, bible says
Speaker 3: there's a time to plant and a time. To Harvest
Speaker 3: the bible says there's a time to weep and a time.
Speaker 3: To rejoice there's a time to, go fast there's a
Speaker 3: time to. Go slow life is a series, of rhythms
