00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.559
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI A six forty on demand. John,

2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:07.879
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.

3
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey, thanks for having me on. I'd like to talk

4
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.359
<v Speaker 2>about rank apocrisy in.

5
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>The church or outside of the church.

6
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's what it's everywhere. It's not just the church,

7
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 2>it's our government, it's our cities, it's our whole world.

8
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's almost comedic in some senses. When you think

9
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 2>about it, you know, it's just absolutely sad.

10
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, hypocrisy is not new the word or the problem for.

11
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 2>The American life. There are differences that you can most

12
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>assuredly put your finger on. We had what we can

13
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 2>call honest leaders back in the fifties and sixties, and

14
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:05.040
<v Speaker 2>it seems like these days acubular the total of whether

15
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 2>it's a Republican or Democratic party has been trillion dollars

16
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>of debt on our children's shoulders.

17
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>John, John, do you really really think you had honest

18
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 1>leaders in the fifties and sixties?

19
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, I would say that more so than today, they

20
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>weren't perfectly okay?

21
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Now? Is that is that because that the systems that

22
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>exist today, for instance, the Internet and the type of

23
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>reporting that goes on, it's probably a little more gutsy

24
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 1>in some sense, has not just uncovered more. Nowadays, it's

25
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 1>easier to find things out, or it's harder to hide

26
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>them in the reverse than it was in the fifties

27
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and sixties.

28
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I would say that there's no doubt that in

29
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 2>the fifties and even in the sixties, there were good

30
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 2>conservative politicians who were willing to sacrifice up to fifty

31
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 2>seventy five, sometimes even ninety percent of their income to

32
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.719
<v Speaker 2>prove their belief and not burdening their children and paying

33
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 2>their bills and not putting it off onto their children's shoulders.

34
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 1>I see. So you're saying that the core of the

35
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>individual is different, that you've got people getting into politics

36
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>who are getting into politics for wrongs.

37
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Who have a millionaires, calling themselves Republican and even calling

38
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 2>themselves Christians, when you know, Jesus didn't go around with

39
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 2>a chest of gold and gold crops.

40
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but there's John there's a difference. That wasn't my purpose. However,

41
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 1>I did say that if you go into a town

42
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and they don't feed you, and they don't you know,

43
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 1>clothe you and put you up and all of this,

44
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that you're to kick the sand off your sandals and

45
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 1>never go back there again. I did say that there

46
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 1>if that there were things that people needed to travel

47
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>with most certainly there's. Money is not evil. The Bible

48
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.759
<v Speaker 1>does not say that money is the root of all evil.

49
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>It says that the love of money is the root

50
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>of all kinds of evil.

51
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.159
<v Speaker 2>A rich man I'm trying to get through heaven and

52
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 2>into God's good graces is like a camel going through

53
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 2>the eye of a needle.

54
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:20.879
<v Speaker 1>Why does everyone difficult? Difficult? Not impossible? Are you saying

55
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>that Solomon is not in.

56
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Heaven what I'm saying.

57
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>No. But you want to make a broad brush concept, John,

58
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>which is not fair. Money is only a tool. It's

59
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 1>when people see it as the end all that it

60
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 1>becomes a problem. But money is just a tool, and

61
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>it can do great things. You would agree with that,

62
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't you, John.

63
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Sure, But give me evidence of it to day.

64
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>Oh goodness, there's all kinds of charities that are doing

65
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>wonderful things with money.

66
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>Money can't denying that the trillion dollars of debt hanging

67
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 2>over our.

68
00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't have to do with money. That has to

69
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 1>do with the use of money. The improper use of

70
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 1>money debt.

71
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 2>For century reality. John, There our politicians are as corrupt

72
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 2>as our churches.

73
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, John, I know the entire world is going to

74
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>hell on a greased poll. I get it. But it's

75
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>no different than it was. It's no different than it

76
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 1>was two thousand years ago. I know that that that

77
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>frustrates people. I know it's easier for you to say

78
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>in my day it was better. But that's not the truth, John,

79
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>that's not.

80
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 2>It's a society of parasites. Why so, John, Because everything

81
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:42.079
<v Speaker 2>is geared towards maximum leveraged profitability. These days, we will

82
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>go to China to get cheap labor.

83
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what that is, John? Do you know

84
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>what that comes from? It comes from success. No, it

85
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 1>comes it comes from success because people get soft when

86
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 1>there's success. Success is always the downfall of anything. It

87
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 1>was the debt fall of the Roman Empire, all that

88
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and lead in the water, but it's the downfall of

89
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 1>any corporation. Corporations stop producing a product and start managing

90
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 1>a piggy bank and they and it folds a country.

91
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 1>Uh starts with freedoms, focusing on the freedoms John, and liberties,

92
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>and then gets focused on what those how much money

93
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you can make from those liberties, and then seeing seizing

94
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 1>on those liberties and that can You know, liberty can

95
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.839
<v Speaker 1>can kill as well. But you do it because it's right,

96
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 1>not because people abuse it or don't abuse it. Liberty

97
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 1>is something that is God given and should be enforced,

98
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 1>should be allowed and enjoyed. However, it can be misused,

99
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 1>just like money. So what you're telling me is not

100
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 1>the use of or the existence of, it's the misuse of.

101
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.399
<v Speaker 1>It's taking something that is good. For instance, an knife

102
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 1>in the hand of a surgeon can heal, in the

103
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 1>hand of a mugger can take a life. But you

104
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>can't just all those things you're saying have existed forever, John,

105
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>You can hear, I mean, complain about them in scripture

106
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>when I turn over the tables of the money changers

107
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>in the temple and I say, you are making my

108
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>father's house out to be this den of money exchanging

109
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and a marketplace two thousand years ago, John, you could

110
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>read writings from Socrates talking about the way children are

111
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>in his day. You can read all kinds of things

112
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.160
<v Speaker 1>throughout history people complained about the same thing. What were

113
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 1>they complaining about in scripture two thousand years ago tax collectors.

114
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.399
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't change, because in order for it to change,

115
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 1>a heart needs to change. I was tongue firmly planted

116
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.639
<v Speaker 1>in cheek when I said that it is easier for

117
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 1>a camel to go through an eye of a needle

118
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 1>than it is for a rich man to get into heaven.

119
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I was telling people that it is difficult, but it's

120
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>not impossible. It's difficult because a rich man that only

121
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>cares about money has a hard time taking his eyes

122
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and his gaze off anything but money. And the only

123
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.759
<v Speaker 1>way to get in heaven is to know God. And

124
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 1>the only way to know God is to give God

125
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:49.480
<v Speaker 1>your attention. But make no mistake, John, if you think

126
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:53.519
<v Speaker 1>things were better back in the day, it was just

127
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 1>that it was harder to find out when people were

128
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 1>doing wrong. Unfortunately, what you're seeing now is although a

129
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.279
<v Speaker 1>gross exaggeration through reality shows and the like, because they're

130
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>cutting out every you know, they're editing it for the

131
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 1>most vulgar interactions in life, because that's what causes people

132
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>to be interested in watching it. But I will tell

133
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you this, people have always done these things. The Ten

134
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Commandments weren't written just in case people start murdering just

135
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 1>in case people start coveting, just in case people start

136
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>doing adultery. It's because people were doing it then, thousands

137
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of years ago. And the best thing to

138
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 1>do is not worry about everyone else, but to worry

139
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 1>about John. To start with yourself and where your heart is,

140
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 1>and not to live that way, and not to be

141
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>that person, and not to think that way, and then

142
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:02.879
<v Speaker 1>try and make it as contagious as possible. Ryan, Welcome

143
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 1>to the Jesus Christ Show.

144
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.919
<v Speaker 3>Hi, how are you sorry? I'm supposed to ask that.

145
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's okay, I am fine. How can I help you?

146
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.480
<v Speaker 3>I was born in Huntington Park, California, in nineteen fifty eight.

147
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 3>On my seventh birthday, my dad and I were in

148
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.039
<v Speaker 3>the house all alone, and my mother had walked on

149
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.799
<v Speaker 3>my dad again. Last thing my dad said to me

150
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.480
<v Speaker 3>is happy birthday, sport. And I heard deafening roar. My

151
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.559
<v Speaker 3>dad shot himself and killed himself right there in front

152
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 3>of me. I ended up the boys Home in adel Georgia,

153
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 3>and they told me that, you know, I had blaspheen

154
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 3>the Holy Spirit and I was going to hell. I'm

155
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.960
<v Speaker 3>only marching my marking my time, so I went in

156
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.399
<v Speaker 3>the Marine Corps, spent two years and there, and then

157
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.039
<v Speaker 3>I went in the Seals because I found that I

158
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.039
<v Speaker 3>could be just as derogator. I figured, if I'm going

159
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.480
<v Speaker 3>to go to hell, then I'm gonna pay the way.

160
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.360
<v Speaker 3>It's already been written down. So I did that, and

161
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.879
<v Speaker 3>just seems that all in my life I ran in

162
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 3>the people that were just they wouldn't they based everything

163
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 3>off of a one time talking to you. I was

164
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 3>when I was in Iraq. I had a bad brain

165
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 3>injury and I've got shrapping off through my legs when

166
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 3>I was in Fallujah, and you know, I called your

167
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 3>show here a couple of weeks ago because I was

168
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.159
<v Speaker 3>really wondering, you know, if I if I had some

169
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:27.240
<v Speaker 3>way to repent and maybe get into heaven. Of course,

170
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.919
<v Speaker 3>the screener told me that I was drunk, and then

171
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 3>again today she hung up on me, and they just you.

172
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Know, well, you know what, there's a there's a policy

173
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>on the program. And this isn't personal against you, but

174
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:42.399
<v Speaker 1>there's a policy on the program because people do time

175
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>of day that we are alive and things like that

176
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:49.559
<v Speaker 1>that people do from time to time called drunk, and

177
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>and that there you know from dealing with people that

178
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 1>are drunk from time to time that there's not a

179
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.879
<v Speaker 1>whole lot you can do for them when they're in

180
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 1>that state. No, So so that does happen from time

181
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to time. But more importantly, you're on now, and I

182
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.440
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you that blasphemy the Holy Spirit, the

183
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:11.080
<v Speaker 1>only unpardonable sin uh is a continual sin. And you

184
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you can't be doing it right now. You wouldn't even

185
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 1>be calling or questioning if you were in that state.

186
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:17.279
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't care.

187
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know what I wonder is because it says

188
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:23.480
<v Speaker 3>in the battle you shall not commit murder. Well, that

189
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 3>was with my job. I mean, it wouldn't. I don't know.

190
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>You call it murder, Morris, You didn't murder, you killed.

191
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 1>There's a difference. There really is a deal.

192
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 3>So I beg the different with you a few times.

193
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:33.039
<v Speaker 4>And.

194
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>For that you will be accountable.

195
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.519
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I'm just wondering. I mean that, shall

196
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm not commit murder? Now? Shall I not? Thank the

197
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Lawd's name in a vain And it says anyone who

198
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 3>takes away from this book or whatever you know in

199
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 3>revelations and then comes down answer real specific anyone who

200
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.799
<v Speaker 3>speaks a word against the Sun of Man will be forgiven,

201
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.759
<v Speaker 3>and against God will be forgiven. But whoever speaks a

202
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.120
<v Speaker 3>way against the Holy Spirit won't be forgiven in this

203
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.480
<v Speaker 3>age or the age come something. It's real clear there.

204
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but I don't, okay, But now I need to

205
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>explain to you why, because you know time goes by quickly.

206
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.480
<v Speaker 1>So imagine if you were driving in a car and

207
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 1>you're driving down a road and there's a cliff at

208
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the end of the road, and your family and friends

209
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>are lined on that road and they're telling you, Ryan,

210
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>there is a cliff at the end of the road.

211
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 1>And you roll up the windows of the car and

212
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>they start screaming, Ryan, there's a cliff at the end

213
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>of the road. You go off it, you'll die. And

214
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.399
<v Speaker 1>you turn up the music and they start screaming and screaming, Ryan,

215
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>there is a cliff at the end of the road.

216
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:36.960
<v Speaker 1>You have to stop. If you don't stop, you'll go

217
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.480
<v Speaker 1>off the cliff and you will die. And you ignore

218
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 1>them and go off the cliff, you die, right, So

219
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 1>blasphemy the Holy Spirit is every time the Spirit woos you,

220
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 1>touches your heart, tries to get you to come to

221
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>me that takes you to the Father. So if you

222
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 1>don't go through that process, if you don't go you

223
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.919
<v Speaker 1>don't accept the Holy Spirit that brings you to Christ,

224
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.840
<v Speaker 1>that brings you to the Father, then you've rejected that.

225
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Unto death. The moment you die, you can't go back

226
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the same way. Ryan, you know this that if a

227
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>bullet leaves the gun and enters a body and kills

228
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 1>that person, you can't say, oh no, now I see

229
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the consequences. I would like to take that back. You can't.

230
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 1>And it's the same with God. Unto death. When you die,

231
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>your decision is final. That's what blasphem me and the

232
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Holy Spirit is. That's the finality of it. Clara, Welcome

237
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:45.360

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 5>we drifted apart years ago. We were young. I was

239

00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry that I did it, but I didn't love

244

00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So your ex husband.

00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.240
<v Speaker 5>And the man that i'm now with asked me to

252
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 5>marry him. And first I want to know if I'll

253
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:33.559
<v Speaker 5>be forgiven for what I did.

254
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, yes, yes, you're You're forgiven. But God forgives those

255
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.759
<v Speaker 1>who reckon who truly repent and turn from the that

256
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 1>which they were a participant in.

257
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.080
<v Speaker 5>And I made my amends to him, you know. And

258
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:51.919
<v Speaker 5>he wanted to work out the marriage. He wanted a chance,

259
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 5>and I didn't. I didn't want to go to counsel,

260
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:57.879
<v Speaker 5>and I just why I didn't want to go back

261
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.440
<v Speaker 5>for when I was afraid I would dream again. Like

262
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 5>I said, I'm a recovering alcoholic.

263
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>But what does that have to do with your Was

264
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:05.360
<v Speaker 1>your ex husband a drinker?

265
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

266
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.200
<v Speaker 5>They all do, Yeah, the family all drinks and everything,

267
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.480
<v Speaker 5>But is he.

268
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Is he an alcoholic?

269
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.039
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so. I don't think he is, and

270
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:17.519
<v Speaker 5>then he wouldn't.

271
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Like he wouldn't have given it up for you and

272
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.120
<v Speaker 1>just not had it around the house.

273
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't think. So they still drink now, you know.

274
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm friends with him and talk to him, but I

275
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.399
<v Speaker 5>didn't love him the same. I didn't have that love.

276
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what, Clara, that's that's really it's garbage.

277
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I hear that all the time, and it's garbage. You're

278
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna the next guy. You're gonna wake up and he's

279
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna have bad breath in the morning too, and he's

280
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:46.919
<v Speaker 1>going to that. That whole falling in and out of

281
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>love thing is not real. It's just it's it's people

282
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.919
<v Speaker 1>not wanting to work towards the relationship anymore.

283
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 5>Maybe that wasn't.

284
00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:58.279
<v Speaker 4>Maybe, well, that.

285
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Can happen with anyone. And if you can't work it there,

286
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.039
<v Speaker 1>then I don't think you deserve another one. The whole

287
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:09.679
<v Speaker 1>point is is if it's not disposable, it's this concept

288
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:12.519
<v Speaker 1>of you know, breaking the china and going, well, yes,

289
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.360
<v Speaker 1>but that's because I didn't want that plate, but I

290
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>want a new piece of china, and I'm gonna eat

291
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.399
<v Speaker 1>off of this one. And it's gonna I'm gonna keep

292
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.840
<v Speaker 1>it cleaning. No, it's people. If you don't respect the

293
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.399
<v Speaker 1>relationship for what it is, and that is good and bad,

294
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.279
<v Speaker 1>for better, for worse and sickness and in health and

295
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>working towards it and giving the opportunity. God's always going

296
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to want you to reconcile, always unless they're beating you

297
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>or there's uh, there's any kind of abuse physical emotional.

298
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.080
<v Speaker 5>We did have that that it could have been for

299
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:41.960
<v Speaker 5>a number of reasons.

300
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's all kinds. But it depends if you

301
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.679
<v Speaker 1>are a participant in it. If you're a participant in

302
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>it and you and you're drinking and the like or

303
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 1>bringing that in.

304
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.440
<v Speaker 5>Okay, just that's the past. Though, what can I do?

305
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:55.159
<v Speaker 5>You know, I can't change it.

306
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, but I don't want you to relive it. I

307
00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.919
<v Speaker 1>realize that that that can't change. But you have to.

308
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>So you're in a different place now.

309
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:05.559
<v Speaker 5>Right, So do I marry again?

310
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.559
<v Speaker 1>But you bring the old you know, you bring the

311
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:14.119
<v Speaker 1>stuff into it. The marrying again is is your choice because.

312
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:16.279
<v Speaker 5>If I'm living in sin. You know, we went to church,

313
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.319
<v Speaker 5>we try to go to church together. We're both spiritual,

314
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.759
<v Speaker 5>and they frown, you know, they said, if you're living together,

315
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 5>we'll find out, and so we didn't. Never went back,

316
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, because we're living together. So what do you know?

317
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.839
<v Speaker 1>So you haven't really changed?

318
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:32.119
<v Speaker 5>What do you mean?

319
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, you're kind of doing things the way you want

320
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 1>to do them because it's convenient.

321
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:38.920
<v Speaker 5>I prayed about it. I pray about it.

322
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I pray you pray about living together.

323
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.079
<v Speaker 5>No, I pray about making the right choices.

324
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, while you're making the wrong choices. So which would

325
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>if you were? Have you been in the program at all?

326
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:51.480
<v Speaker 5>A yes?

327
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:51.799
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

328
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Are you going to sit there and tell them

329
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that you're you're praying about it while you're drinking? No, okay,

330
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:01.799
<v Speaker 1>but you're you're doing something, You're living a situation that

331
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:05.119
<v Speaker 1>doesn't glorify God, and then you're telling me you're praying

332
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 1>about it. My concern is this, and it's not the situations.

333
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.119
<v Speaker 1>They will change. We talk about that all the time.

334
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.359
<v Speaker 1>And I'll give you that the old relationship is gone.

335
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:18.440
<v Speaker 1>But all you're doing is bringing the same stink into

336
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:24.200
<v Speaker 1>a new relationship. You need to work on you, not

337
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a relationship.

338
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.799
<v Speaker 5>I think God. Okay, in my I think God brought

339
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.920
<v Speaker 5>us together. We've been together three and a half years.

340
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.279
<v Speaker 1>And there's people that think that God calls them to

341
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.480
<v Speaker 1>kill other people. In this particular case, you're saying that

342
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.640
<v Speaker 1>God brought you together. That may very well be, and

343
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.599
<v Speaker 1>then you abuse it by living together and going against

344
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.920
<v Speaker 1>God's desire for your relationship.

345
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:48.680
<v Speaker 5>So we definitely don't have his.

346
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Blessings, not in its current state. It doesn't mean that

347
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't love you, or doesn't mean that I don't

348
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:55.200
<v Speaker 1>want the best for you and that this can't work out.

349
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.920
<v Speaker 1>None of that's true. Of course, it can work out.

350
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:01.319
<v Speaker 1>It means it means that you're doing it your own way,

351
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 1>and you didn't do it right the first time, and

352
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it won't change this time. You and I will just

353
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:09.160
<v Speaker 1>be talking in a couple of years.

354
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:12.079
<v Speaker 5>From now and the current situation that I'm in, and

355
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.200
<v Speaker 5>am I to leave them? I love them?

356
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Love them separately? Or get married. Why don't you

357
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>guys get married?

358
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:21.039
<v Speaker 5>That's what I'm asking.

359
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, but in that context, why is it taken

360
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.759
<v Speaker 1>three years? Why did you move in first?

361
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:28.920
<v Speaker 5>I shouldn't have if I made a mistake.

362
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:31.839
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but but this is what I want to know, honey.

363
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't care about that The situation can come and go,

364
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.039
<v Speaker 1>the guys can come and go. I care about you,

365
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and you keep taking the same luggage with you and

366
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.799
<v Speaker 1>wondering why, wondering why every room you go to has

367
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 1>bed bugs. I'm saying they're in your luggage. You're bringing

368
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:47.359
<v Speaker 1>them to every room.

369
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.880
<v Speaker 5>And haven't been with many men. My husband was the

370
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.240
<v Speaker 5>first and this is the second. But I just want

371
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 5>to I know I did it wrong.

372
00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>How long were you How long were you separated from

373
00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:57.960
<v Speaker 1>your ex husband?

374
00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:59.799
<v Speaker 5>Well, I went to Solber Living, so we were so

375
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.440
<v Speaker 5>worrited about two years.

376
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and you did you come across the uh, your

377
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:08.480
<v Speaker 1>new bo and so.

378
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:11.720
<v Speaker 4>I did.

379
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:14.279
<v Speaker 1>And they tend to frown upon that, don't they.

380
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:17.799
<v Speaker 5>It was suggested not to get in a relationship.

381
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:20.880
<v Speaker 1>It was suggested very strong. It was oh boy, that

382
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:22.759
<v Speaker 1>seems to be a running theme now, doesn't it.

383
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

384
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:24.000
<v Speaker 5>It does?

385
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So why why do you not follow directions? Everyone is.

386
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.160
<v Speaker 5>I just made wrong decisions? You know, I made wrong decisions,

387
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:34.880
<v Speaker 5>and I can't.

388
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.279
<v Speaker 1>I can't impact time, I know, but those But I'm

389
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.599
<v Speaker 1>not worried about the past. I'm worried about the present

390
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:42.359
<v Speaker 1>and the future. And if you continue down this path,

391
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:44.680
<v Speaker 1>You're going to continue to make bad decisions and they're

392
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>going to bite you in the fanny. And that's what

393
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't want. There's ways around this, and it doesn't

394
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:55.200
<v Speaker 1>mean people make these false dilemmas that it's either loneliness

395
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.440
<v Speaker 1>forever and ever and ever or make bad choices. That's

396
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:01.119
<v Speaker 1>just not right. That's, you know, like the thief who says, well,

397
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, ripping people off is all I know how

398
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to do. Are you? Are you kidding me? You're smarter

399
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:07.319
<v Speaker 1>than that.

400
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:12.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I just, you know, I just so bad about it.

401
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.240
<v Speaker 1>But I don't want you to feel bad. I don't

402
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.119
<v Speaker 1>want you to feel shame. I don't want you to

403
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:20.880
<v Speaker 1>feel anything that that that the you know, traditional church

404
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.079
<v Speaker 1>or attitude is going to make you feel. That's not

405
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:25.920
<v Speaker 1>my purpose. My purpose is for you to look at

406
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a decision pattern that you make that is against the

407
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:32.119
<v Speaker 1>will of God, the very God that you say that

408
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:33.839
<v Speaker 1>you love and you and that you worship and you

409
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.640
<v Speaker 1>want to guide you, and then you ignore how he

410
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.720
<v Speaker 1>guides you. And I'm saying, if you do that, will.

411
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.119
<v Speaker 5>You know I read on self when I make wrong

412
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:44.359
<v Speaker 5>choices and when I say I pray to him, I'm

413
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:46.440
<v Speaker 5>praying to him. But I'm not listen my guy.

414
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Nope, And you know right from wrong. You absolutely do.

415
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I can hear it in your voice. You're no dumby,

416
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and you call in and the very things you're saying

417
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:58.039
<v Speaker 1>you know are wrong as you're saying them, and you

418
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:00.920
<v Speaker 1>don't even need this is This is not new information.

419
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:03.599
<v Speaker 1>This is confirmation of things you knew when you called.

420
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:06.200
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not telling you anything new.

421
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.039
<v Speaker 5>No, you're not. Yep, you're not. So the right thing

422
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:11.480
<v Speaker 5>to do is to get married.

423
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, if this is, if this, if you're called to

424
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:15.640
<v Speaker 1>be with this man, nothing's going to keep you from

425
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.240
<v Speaker 1>this man, then at least do it right, marry him

426
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and be committed to one another. But you should decide

427
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:26.839
<v Speaker 1>these things beforehand. And people aren't gonna spiral into hell

428
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.119
<v Speaker 1>because they live together. It's not about that. And it's

429
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:31.799
<v Speaker 1>not just trying to be this big wet blanket in

430
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the sky telling you don't don't do things that you

431
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:36.839
<v Speaker 1>want to do. It's not what I'm trying to get across.

432
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.279
<v Speaker 1>It's that you sell yourself short on things. You sell

433
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>yourself short on those first moments, first time you guys

434
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.079
<v Speaker 1>wake up together in the same bed, the first time

435
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.119
<v Speaker 1>you have breakfast together, the first time you make love

436
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:50.119
<v Speaker 1>in that bed, in that home, and those things, all

437
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:53.079
<v Speaker 1>those things you cheat yourself. You've already spent them, and

438
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:55.519
<v Speaker 1>now you get married and it's like, oh, well, nothing's changed.

439
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Of course, nothing's changed. It's the same old, same ole,

440
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:01.359
<v Speaker 1>and you sell yourself short. And that's that's what I'm

441
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:09.519
<v Speaker 1>trying to get across. Elliott, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Hi,

442
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I am well, how can I help you?

443
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

444
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 4>I would like to say that share your message you

445
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:21.599
<v Speaker 4>know about spiritual growth and strength is very very good message.

446
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:26.079
<v Speaker 4>For a very long time for myself, I was going

447
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.640
<v Speaker 4>through a lot of those things and I'm slowly coming

448
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:32.680
<v Speaker 4>out of that situation where just the lack of education

449
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.680
<v Speaker 4>and the long term job that I had also went

450
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:38.960
<v Speaker 4>under me. So when you're in a position where you

451
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:43.680
<v Speaker 4>can't afford the fancy cars and the big house and

452
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:47.480
<v Speaker 4>not able to put out for your kids anymore, people

453
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:51.759
<v Speaker 4>do want to look upon down on you. But I

454
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 4>also feel that the spiritual growth that I have have

455
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.640
<v Speaker 4>gotten from just being off about it, not trying to

456
00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:02.839
<v Speaker 4>hide it. And that's where I agree on your point

457
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:03.920
<v Speaker 4>of view that you.

458
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Know, what's interesting, Elliott, is that you pointed out the

459
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.160
<v Speaker 1>difference between there are a lot of people that are

460
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.400
<v Speaker 1>accountable to the world and what the world thinks of

461
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:15.160
<v Speaker 1>them about the cars and the luxury and the things

462
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.319
<v Speaker 1>that they own, rather than being accountable just to their family,

463
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:20.519
<v Speaker 1>or being accountable to that which is true and good,

464
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:23.920
<v Speaker 1>making an honest living, rather than thinking, oh, well, this

465
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:25.559
<v Speaker 1>is what I have to do. And there is a

466
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:28.160
<v Speaker 1>major major difference between the two, wouldn't you say?

467
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, definitely, And some of the things that I was lacking,

468
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.839
<v Speaker 4>I'm actually I'm starting to gather those type of tools

469
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:40.240
<v Speaker 4>such as education and some of the things that I

470
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.240
<v Speaker 4>want to pursue now that will put me in a

471
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:43.079
<v Speaker 4>better position.

472
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:47.759
<v Speaker 1>So definitely, Well, excellent, what's going on today? Did you

473
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:48.319
<v Speaker 1>have a question?

474
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:54.039
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't. That was pretty much it. I think

475
00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:57.039
<v Speaker 4>everybody needs to really kind hear your message that you

476
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.519
<v Speaker 4>have because it's a very special thing. People need to know.

477
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:04.240
<v Speaker 4>Other scripture that talk about, you know, the stature of

478
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.160
<v Speaker 4>a person when they're going through a lot, and I

479
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:07.759
<v Speaker 4>think it's.

480
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Not well, I'm so glad that you called. I'm glad

481
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 1>that it hits home with It's important that you know,

482
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:18.440
<v Speaker 1>whenever we bring something up. We don't do sermons really

483
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:20.279
<v Speaker 1>or any of that type of thing on the show.

484
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:22.559
<v Speaker 1>It's just not who we are. But there are a

485
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of truths that are in scripture that sometimes people

486
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:31.039
<v Speaker 1>don't know how to mine out or see. And often

487
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:34.039
<v Speaker 1>it's confirmation. You know, you feel a certain way, or

488
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.359
<v Speaker 1>you hear certain things or and you're not sure. And

489
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.960
<v Speaker 1>my hope is that on the program, when you hear

490
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:42.920
<v Speaker 1>them here, that it solidifies what you're going through and

491
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:48.079
<v Speaker 1>helps explain certain things and emboldens you to the truth

492
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.119
<v Speaker 1>because you can feel alone a lot of times when

493
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:55.200
<v Speaker 1>you're doing those things and you're kind of feeling like, oh, well,

494
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, is this the right path or is it's

495
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:01.519
<v Speaker 1>not about not having things, are not working hard or

496
00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:04.039
<v Speaker 1>any of that. Of course, God calls you to work hard.

497
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:08.400
<v Speaker 1>But the art of accountability is so wonderful because it's

498
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.519
<v Speaker 1>in every part of your life. It's so funny how

499
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:15.279
<v Speaker 1>how many people know how to be accountable in the workplace,

500
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the task at hand, it's in front of you at

501
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:21.359
<v Speaker 1>the time you're supposed to be there, what you're supposed

502
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:24.160
<v Speaker 1>to be doing. So it's a matter of oh, okay, well,

503
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.599
<v Speaker 1>this is what I do, this is the task at hand,

504
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:30.599
<v Speaker 1>and I'll be accountable to that. But on every day,

505
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.160
<v Speaker 1>on the everyday level, when you have to interact with

506
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:37.319
<v Speaker 1>God and the people around you, is when people get

507
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.480
<v Speaker 1>wishy washy, and it's very easy to try and be

508
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:46.519
<v Speaker 1>accountable to the world for the concepts of the world, money, fame, power,

509
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:50.839
<v Speaker 1>all these things, and forget about the bigger picture of accountability,

510
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:54.920
<v Speaker 1>that accountability is towards God and towards God's people and

511
00:26:54.960 --> 00:27:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to the things of God. This world today is an

512
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.839
<v Speaker 1>interesting one when you'll send your kids off to play

513
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.960
<v Speaker 1>soccer or baseball or Little League, any of these things,

514
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and everyone gets a trophy and no one really keeps score,

515
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:19.119
<v Speaker 1>and therefore there's no accountability. The frustration is that on

516
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 1>one side you've got a bureaucracy or a very wishy

517
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:28.480
<v Speaker 1>washy concept of well, every kid just for showing up

518
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:31.160
<v Speaker 1>gets an award. Now I get that, if you want

519
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:35.119
<v Speaker 1>to acknowledge everyone for playing during over a season is

520
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:37.440
<v Speaker 1>one thing. But there will be a team that is

521
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:39.680
<v Speaker 1>better than the other team. There will be a player

522
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:41.680
<v Speaker 1>that is better than other players. And if you don't

523
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:44.319
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge that, if you aren't accountable to them as they

524
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:47.359
<v Speaker 1>are accountable to the rules of the game, no one

525
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 1>learns and no one gets better, and so you end

526
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:58.400
<v Speaker 1>up pumping out a class of child that doesn't know

527
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:00.839
<v Speaker 1>whether they're good or bad at something and doesn't care,

528
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and therefore there's no accountability, not even to the simple

529
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:10.240
<v Speaker 1>rules of a game. And then when that child grows up,

530
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:18.480
<v Speaker 1>then you just get an adult who's not accountable. Well,

531
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do it that way. Or you

532
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:25.160
<v Speaker 1>see people jumping from job to job and not ever

533
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:31.440
<v Speaker 1>wanting to learn or to truly grow, that comes exactly

534
00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:37.720
<v Speaker 1>from this concept of not being accountable. And so I

535
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>was thinking over and praying over what I wanted to

536
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:44.359
<v Speaker 1>talk to you about today. I wanted to make sure

537
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:51.119
<v Speaker 1>that it wasn't just some sort of religious accountability, because

538
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>it's more than that. It plays a part in every

539
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:59.279
<v Speaker 1>nook and cranny of your life, your relationships. A lot

540
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:07.319
<v Speaker 1>of relationships break down because of accountability. Focus on the

541
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:13.200
<v Speaker 1>act of accountability in every part, every walk of your life.

542
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for joining me this Sunday, joining me next Sunday,

543
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:20.839
<v Speaker 1>And remember, more importantly than all the nuttiness in this world,

544
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I am with you always KFI AM six forty on

545
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:27.519
<v Speaker 1>demand
