Speaker 1: You know, we really live in a world that's full
Speaker 1: of competing beliefs and values and choices, and what you
Speaker 1: believe shapes how you live and ultimately who you become.
Speaker 1: But the good news is God hasn't left us to
Speaker 1: figure it all out alone.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: In fact, today, on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, we're going
Speaker 1: to continue our series Reframing Your Worldview, where Rick Warren
Speaker 1: unpacks powerful truths from God's Word to help you see
Speaker 1: life clearly and live it with confidence and purpose. And
Speaker 1: now here's Pastor Rick with the final part of a
Speaker 1: message called how did the world get so messed Up?
Speaker 3: You know how a parent grieves when they see their
Speaker 3: child messing up, and they see their child really blowing
Speaker 3: their life. Multiply that a zillion times with God going,
Speaker 3: I created them, I love them, And they're walking away
Speaker 3: like they don't even know, and they're hurting each other,
Speaker 3: and they're abusing each other, and they're being mean to
Speaker 3: each other, and they're killing each.
Speaker 2: Other, and on and on.
Speaker 3: Somebody who finally came to Christ after putting up with
Speaker 3: a lot of pain, don't want you to hear her story?
Speaker 2: Would you give her a warm welcome?
Speaker 4: I was born three months premature with some physical deformities,
Speaker 4: so growing up I felt different than everyone else. My
Speaker 4: mom tried to make me feel special, but her actions
Speaker 4: instead made me feel inferior. Mom was always on a
Speaker 4: diet and continually took appetite suppressants. Since I wanted to
Speaker 4: be beautiful like my mom, I started taking them too.
Speaker 4: At the age of five, I was already controlling my
Speaker 4: food intake and headed for a life of anorexia. I
Speaker 4: would take the meat on my dinner plate and put
Speaker 4: it under my booster seat because it had fat on it.
Speaker 4: Growing up, I never got to see what healthy relationship
Speaker 4: look like. All my relationships were pretty much shallow and
Speaker 4: superficial and broken. I could give you plenty of evidence
Speaker 4: that we live in a fallen world. My parents fought
Speaker 4: a lot. Then my dad abandoned our family for another woman.
Speaker 4: After that, my mom would drink and take out her
Speaker 4: anger on us kids with violent behavior. Many times I
Speaker 4: felt helpless, abandoned, depressed, guilty, and scared. In school, my
Speaker 4: brother and I learned to stop, drop and roll during
Speaker 4: a fire, so we used that same technique at home
Speaker 4: to protect ourselves from our mother's blows. As mom's drinking worsened.
Speaker 4: I felt I needed to take control of our family.
Speaker 4: I would sneak change out of my mom's wallet, ride
Speaker 4: my bike to the corner store, buy dinner, and then
Speaker 4: sneak the change back into my mom's wallet before she
Speaker 4: would wake up. Eventually, my brother and I went to
Speaker 4: live with my dad's stepmom and three stepbrothers, but I
Speaker 4: didn't learn anything about healthy relationships there either. I became
Speaker 4: the object of my older stepbrother's abuse and meanness, with
Speaker 4: such pranks as flushing my hamster down the toilet and
Speaker 4: putting my cat in the freezer alive. I felt violated
Speaker 4: and angry. I became a prisoner in my own home,
Speaker 4: running as fast as I could to my bedroom when
Speaker 4: I got home from school and wouldn't come out except
Speaker 4: for dinner. When my mom remarried, I was finally able
Speaker 4: to move back in with her. In high school, I
Speaker 4: engaged in many shallow relationships based on physical appearance. It
Speaker 4: didn't matter if the boys were drug addicts, alcoholics, or
Speaker 4: only wanted sex. I dated them if they were cute.
Speaker 4: When my brother became very good looking, I noticed that
Speaker 4: girls befriended me to get to him and When the
Speaker 4: kids at school learned that we had some famous relatives,
Speaker 4: they all wanted to be our friends. These experiences confirmed
Speaker 4: my inner feelings that no one really liked me for me.
Speaker 4: My fear of rejection made me feel very insecure and
Speaker 4: defensive in my search for an authentic relationship as a
Speaker 4: broken person in a broken world. I met my husband
Speaker 4: not long after graduating high school. He was tall, gorgeous, athletic,
Speaker 4: and very quiet. As we did Ken made derogatory comments
Speaker 4: about me. This reconfirmed my low self image and feelings
Speaker 4: of being different, deformed, and ugly, but I hid these
Speaker 4: fears beneath a mask of being fun, hilarious, and outgoing.
Speaker 4: I felt that I could earn his love this way
Speaker 4: since I had found conditional acceptance in the workplace as
Speaker 4: an overachiever and boss pleaser. So I tried my best
Speaker 4: to impress Ken. But three months after we moved in together,
Speaker 4: I caught Ken and a lie and he admitted he
Speaker 4: had cheated on me. I was heartbroken and furious, but
Speaker 4: I didn't end the relationship. We eventually got married, but
Speaker 4: we both wore masks to hide our weaknesses from each other.
Speaker 4: Our relationship was shallow and superficial. I controlled everything. One
Speaker 4: day I told Ken it was time to have children.
Speaker 4: I figured that was what was missing in our relationship.
Speaker 4: But during my pregnancy I gained a lot of weight
Speaker 4: and four of my teeth fell out. Ken became disgusted
Speaker 4: with my appearance and turned to pornographic videos that only
Speaker 4: made me feel more inferior, ugly, and unacceptable. Ken told
Speaker 4: me how unhappy he was and how it was all
Speaker 4: my fault, but he agreed to go to marriage counseling.
Speaker 4: After four months of counseling, Ken admitted he was having
Speaker 4: another affair. I hit bottom. I was in shock and
Speaker 4: lost all sense of reality. That depressing night, I was
Speaker 4: completely emptied of myself. I asked God to fill my
Speaker 4: empty body with himself and to show me where I
Speaker 4: could learn about Jesus. The following Sunday, I took Lauren,
Speaker 4: our daughter now too, to find Jesus. Right down the
Speaker 4: street from our home was a large church. As I
Speaker 4: made my way up the driveway, I kept yelling to God,
Speaker 4: are you sure this is where you want me to go?
Speaker 4: As I entered the worship center. Here at Saddleback, the
Speaker 4: music was beautiful. Pastor Rick had planned a message on
Speaker 4: building better relationships and sex and marriage. This service was
Speaker 4: just for me. I tried to write down everything being said,
Speaker 4: but there wasn't enough room on the bulletin. I saw
Speaker 4: there was a tape table and got that day's message.
Speaker 4: Ken listened to it at home, but said it was
Speaker 4: too late. He said, if only I had found out
Speaker 4: about this church sooner, things may have been different. I
Speaker 4: didn't agree. I knew i'd found a home at Saddleback.
Speaker 4: Ken and I did try counseling once more through a
Speaker 4: lay counselor here at Saddleback, but Ken said there was
Speaker 4: no hope of keeping our marriage together.
Speaker 5: He was in love with his girlfriend.
Speaker 4: He said that he had actually been with her for
Speaker 4: four of the six years we were married. A few
Speaker 4: days later, in Class one oh one here at Saddleback,
Speaker 4: I reflected on this and thought, I hate men, all men.
Speaker 4: I am never going to make myself vulnerable to another
Speaker 4: man again, and I am never going to trust another
Speaker 4: man as long as I live.
Speaker 5: But before I could finish.
Speaker 4: That thought, Pastor Brett said, everybody, look up here. Your
Speaker 4: father in Heaven loves you. He wants you to put
Speaker 4: all your trust in one man, Jesus Christ who died
Speaker 4: on the cross so you could live forever with him.
Speaker 4: I knew God had spoken to me At that very moment.
Speaker 4: I committed my life to Christ and I was baptized.
Speaker 4: The following weekend. At my baptism, Pastor Brett told me
Speaker 4: that Master John of celebrate Recovery would be baptizing me.
Speaker 4: I thought, I can't imagine being in recovery, let alone
Speaker 4: being able to celebrate it. There were just too many
Speaker 4: painful experiences in my life. The following week Ken decided
Speaker 4: to leave me and stay with his girlfriend. I felt helpless,
Speaker 4: completely rejected, and I fell into a very deep depression.
Speaker 4: In despair, I bought two bottles of sleeping pills to
Speaker 4: end it all. Relationships just weren't worth the pain, I thought.
Speaker 4: But then I got a call from the lay counselor
Speaker 4: whom Ken and I had seen a month before. He
Speaker 4: said he was following up on our visit at the
Speaker 4: lowest point in my life. He was like an angel
Speaker 4: sent from God to me. I told him I had
Speaker 4: been baptized and that Ken had moved out. I did
Speaker 4: not tell him I was going to kill myself right then.
Speaker 4: He said he was so sorry about Ken. And that
Speaker 4: he had been praying for us. I could not believe
Speaker 4: that this person we saw maybe two times was praying
Speaker 4: for us. God was reminding me that even though I'd
Speaker 4: been rejected by my husband, that God loved me, that
Speaker 4: my life does matter, and that God did not want
Speaker 4: me dead.
Speaker 5: He was not finished with my life.
Speaker 4: The next day, I decided to attend celebrate recovery here
Speaker 4: at Saddlebach for the first time. I cried all night
Speaker 4: that first night, but one lady, Debby, gave me a
Speaker 4: big hug and told me she was exactly where I
Speaker 4: was two years prior. Another woman, Lisa, gave me a
Speaker 4: hug and a phone list of our small group. She
Speaker 4: said I could call her any time. I taped my
Speaker 4: small group's phone list on my kitchen cabinet and thanked
Speaker 4: God for twenty women who knew exactly what I was feeling.
Speaker 4: I was no longer alone in my small group. I
Speaker 4: began to learn about what it takes to build a
Speaker 4: deep relationship with Jesus and healthy relationships with others. I
Speaker 4: learned about how our fears keep us from being authentic
Speaker 4: with each other, and how to break.
Speaker 5: Down the walls of isolation.
Speaker 4: Slowly, God began to replace unhealthy beliefs and reactions with
Speaker 4: healthy ones. For the first six months, I continued in
Speaker 4: a deep depression and a huge pity party, but everyone
Speaker 4: in my small group just kept loving me unconditionally. I
Speaker 4: had a difficult time understanding this because it was the
Speaker 4: first time that I had experienced unconditional love. Based on
Speaker 4: Pastor Rick's list of the results of living in a
Speaker 4: fallen world, I guess you could say that I was
Speaker 4: batting one thousand percent. I experienced them all. Disasters, deformities,
Speaker 4: decay and death, distress and disappointment, distance and discord in relationships,
Speaker 4: discontent with my life, and spiritual darkness. But I am
Speaker 4: so grateful to Jesus Christ for this church family and
Speaker 4: my recovery small group. My small group has been a
Speaker 4: safe place to develop healthy relationships and recover from the
Speaker 4: effects of sin in my past. As a result, I've
Speaker 4: seen so many of my broken relationships restored, including with
Speaker 4: my mom, my dad, my stepmom, one of my stepbrothers,
Speaker 4: and my own brother and sister in law. And God
Speaker 4: has used me to help them too. A few years ago,
Speaker 4: I gave my test ammonia at celebrate recovery. That very night,
Speaker 4: my stepdad had a heart attack. Two days later, my
Speaker 4: stepsister and I went to visit him, and I was
Speaker 4: able to pray with him and lead him to Christ.
Speaker 4: I know now that Jesus will never leave me or
Speaker 4: reject me. He loves me unconditionally, and with the security
Speaker 4: that comes from that kind of love, I would no
Speaker 4: longer run or hide from my feelings. Of course, I
Speaker 4: still struggle with issues, but I remember this is not heaven,
Speaker 4: which is perfect. It's Earth where we are getting ready
Speaker 4: for heaven. I'm grateful that God gave me a choice,
Speaker 4: showed me my need for a savior, and demonstrated his
Speaker 4: grace to me. Enclosing, I'd like to share three Bible
Speaker 4: verses that describe how Jesus Christ has transformed my life.
Speaker 4: Psalm one sixteen eight says you, O, Lord, have delivered
Speaker 4: my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my
Speaker 4: feet from stumbling. Zephaniah three seventeen says the Lord, your
Speaker 4: God is with you. He is mighty to save. He
Speaker 4: will take great delight in you. He will quiet you
Speaker 4: with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing
Speaker 4: and Psalm thirty one fourteen says Lord, I trust you.
Speaker 4: I have said you are my God, and my life
Speaker 4: is in your hands.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Yes, there is a lot of pain in this world.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of suffering in this world. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of grief in this world, and it's because of
Speaker 3: sin and evil. They are realities. But God is still
Speaker 3: in control and he's moving history because it's his story
Speaker 3: to where he wants to take it, and he's waiting
Speaker 3: for people to come to him.
Speaker 2: In the Bible, Jesus is often.
Speaker 3: Called the Lamb of God, the Lamb of God because
Speaker 3: in the Old Testament, the Jewish nation would sacrifice lambs
Speaker 3: to represent an atonement or a payment for the sins
Speaker 3: of people on the day of Atonement Yam Kapur, and
Speaker 3: they would sacrifice lambs to say, this is paying for
Speaker 3: the sins of our lives. And Jesus came to pay
Speaker 3: for the sins of everybody, so there's no need for
Speaker 3: animal sacrifice. And one day John is baptizing at the
Speaker 3: Jordan River and he sees Jesus coming and he says,
Speaker 3: behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin
Speaker 3: of the world, the sin that caused all that pain.
Speaker 3: The Lamb of God takes away that sin. There was
Speaker 3: a little church in the former Soviet Union that was
Speaker 3: given permission to meet in the building that they had
Speaker 3: been able to meet in for a long long time,
Speaker 3: because obviously, under communism, atheism.
Speaker 2: Was the rule.
Speaker 3: There is no God, there is no Jesus, and there
Speaker 3: is no heaven or hell or anything like that, and.
Speaker 2: They were allowed to start meeting.
Speaker 3: They'd been faithful believers all through all all that persecution
Speaker 3: and torture and pain, and they'd put up with enormous suffering.
Speaker 2: During the communist regime.
Speaker 3: And when they were finally allowed to put a nameplate
Speaker 3: on the building they had been secretly meeting in, they
Speaker 3: met one night and they said.
Speaker 2: What are we going to call our church? And what
Speaker 2: are we going to put on the sign that we
Speaker 2: survived all of this?
Speaker 3: And one man spoke up and he said, I'm an
Speaker 3: artist and I know what to do, and I will
Speaker 3: bring a sign tomorrow night. So the next day he
Speaker 3: returned with a sign and they nailed it above their
Speaker 3: little church, and the sign simply said this.
Speaker 2: The Lamb one, the Lamb one God is allowing.
Speaker 3: Everything to continue because he is the Lamb of God
Speaker 3: who takes away the sin of the world.
Speaker 2: So how should I respond? Write these down real quick?
Speaker 3: I'm just going to mention themnumber one, since God is
Speaker 3: delaying the end of this earth in order to show
Speaker 3: his grace. First, receive God's grace daily. Receive it daily.
Speaker 3: You don't need grace just to be saved and get
Speaker 3: into Heaven. You need grace every day to live God's
Speaker 3: grace in your life. And the Bible says this through
Speaker 3: the sin of one man, that's Adam. Death began to
Speaker 3: rule because of that one man. Because Adam blew it.
Speaker 3: Everybody else is in the same boat. But now how
Speaker 3: much greater is the result of what one other man,
Speaker 3: what has done by one other man? Jesus Christ, and
Speaker 3: all who receive God's abundant grace are freely put right
Speaker 3: with him and will rule in life through Christ. If
Speaker 3: you haven't received that grace, you do it before you
Speaker 3: leave today. Number two, Remember this place is temporary. This
Speaker 3: planet is not your permanent home. Don't get too caught
Speaker 3: up or enamored with the things of this world because
Speaker 3: none of it's gonna last.
Speaker 2: Nothing you see is gonna last.
Speaker 3: The only thing that's gonna last on this planet are
Speaker 3: God's Word and people, and so the Bible says this,
Speaker 3: I'm here on earth for just a little while, thank God,
Speaker 3: with all the pain that's in it. And this world
Speaker 3: is not our home. We're looking forward to our everlasting
Speaker 3: home in heaven, where there is no injustice, there is
Speaker 3: no sorrow, there is no pain, there is no rape,
Speaker 3: there is no murder, there is no adultery, there is
Speaker 3: no abortion, there is no killing, there is no racial prejudice.
Speaker 3: God's taking us to a place a whole lot better.
Speaker 3: Now you look at the Word and think this is
Speaker 3: a pretty good place. Imagine what a perfect place is like.
Speaker 3: Number three, reject man made solutions.
Speaker 2: Reject man made solutions.
Speaker 3: You see it because you live in a fallen world.
Speaker 3: It has a very profound effect on you. And that
Speaker 3: effect is this, you have unmet needs because this is
Speaker 3: an imperfect place. You have unmet sexual needs. You have
Speaker 3: unmet financial needs. You have unmet personal needs. You have
Speaker 3: unmet relational needs, the need to be loved and cherished
Speaker 3: and understood completely. You have unmet emotional needs because you
Speaker 3: live in a fallen planet. You have unmet spiritual needs.
Speaker 3: You have unmet physical needs. Now the temptation is well
Speaker 3: I'll just go out and figure out a way to
Speaker 3: meet these needs in my own way. Do not give
Speaker 3: into that temptation man made solutions.
Speaker 2: My needs are not being met.
Speaker 3: So I'm just going to go out ignore what God says,
Speaker 3: and I'm going to do what I need to do
Speaker 3: to meet my needs. And God says, that's a major mistake.
Speaker 3: The Bible says this, my people have done two evil things.
Speaker 3: They have forsaken me the fountain of living water, and
Speaker 3: they have dug for themselves cracked cisterns that can hold
Speaker 3: no water at all.
Speaker 2: Do you know what a cistern is.
Speaker 3: You dig a hole in the ground in a clay
Speaker 3: area and you put water in it. It's not a well.
Speaker 3: A well has water bubbling up from the bottom of
Speaker 3: it a spring. A cistern is in a lot of
Speaker 3: desert areas. They just dig into the clay in the
Speaker 3: ground and then they carry water in and they pour
Speaker 3: it in there. And now water over time gets brackish
Speaker 3: and fetied, and you know, bacteria and stale. And God says,
Speaker 3: wait a minute, I am the source of living water.
Speaker 3: I'm the source of your life, and I'm here to
Speaker 3: fill you with all this.
Speaker 2: And you reject that, and you.
Speaker 3: Turn, you go after brackish cistern water which can't even
Speaker 3: hold anything, and it's cracked and it leaks out into
Speaker 3: the dirt. You say, reject man made solutions.
Speaker 2: Come to me now.
Speaker 3: If you have not released your needs to God, you
Speaker 3: need to do it right now.
Speaker 2: So I want us to bow our heads and we're
Speaker 2: going to pray. Dear God. I know there are all
Speaker 2: kinds of needs in our church.
Speaker 3: You know the heart of every person here, and you
Speaker 3: know the things that hurt.
Speaker 2: In our lives.
Speaker 3: You know the pain, You know the suffering, You know
Speaker 3: the lonely times, you know the fears and the insecurities.
Speaker 3: You know our worries. You know everything about us. You
Speaker 3: know the problems we have because we live in a
Speaker 3: fallen world.
Speaker 2: And you care.
Speaker 3: And so I pray that today many will open their
Speaker 3: hearts to Jesus Christ for the very first time and say, God,
Speaker 3: I want to be in your family before you shut
Speaker 3: down this planet and before we go into eternity. Now
Speaker 3: you pray, say, Dear God, I open my life to you.
Speaker 3: Thank you for loving me, thank you for creating me.
Speaker 3: I want to receive your grace today. There are things
Speaker 3: in my life. I want to change, but I don't
Speaker 3: seem to have the power to do it. I need
Speaker 3: a savior. I need to be forgiven, and I ask
Speaker 3: you to forgive me. And I ask you to give
Speaker 3: me the power to change for good, to be a
Speaker 3: better person, not a bitter person. Help me to remember
Speaker 3: that this place is temporary and that you made me
Speaker 3: to last forever. I want to be a part of
Speaker 3: your family, and so, Jesus Christ, I put my trust
Speaker 3: and faith in you, not in myself, but in you
Speaker 3: to save me.
Speaker 2: In your name, I pray Amen. There's one other thing
Speaker 2: you need to do.
Speaker 3: You might want to write it down on this outline,
Speaker 3: and it's reach out.
Speaker 2: With God's love.
Speaker 3: In other words, once you know the meaning and purpose
Speaker 3: of life, and once you know the good news that
Speaker 3: we can be forgiven, God says, I want you to
Speaker 3: tell others.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm waiting.
Speaker 3: I'm waiting for your family to step across the line.
Speaker 3: I'm waiting for your friends to step across the line.
Speaker 3: I'm waiting for your neighbors to step across the line.
Speaker 3: And I'm waiting on you to tell them. The Bible
Speaker 3: says this, look up here on the screen. Go out
Speaker 3: into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in
Speaker 3: the squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse
Speaker 3: of good living and of the living God. Carry the
Speaker 3: light giving message into the night. That's why we're here,
Speaker 3: to carry the message into the night to people who
Speaker 3: haven't heard it yet.
Speaker 2: And one more verse on the screen.
Speaker 3: Talking about testifying of God's love. You'll sing God's praises
Speaker 3: to everyone you meet, testifying. I'm messed up my life
Speaker 3: and it wasn't worth I'll tell you. Let me tell
Speaker 3: you it wasn't worth it, but God stepped in and
Speaker 3: saved me, and I'm alive again. Hi everybody, this is
Speaker 3: Rick and I hope you enjoyed today's broadcast. You know,
Speaker 3: if you just prayed that prayer for the very first time,
Speaker 3: or you just recommitted your life to Jesus again today,
Speaker 3: would you let me know about it. There's something real
Speaker 3: about sharing your commitment. So write me Rick at pastor
Speaker 3: Rick dot com and say, Rick, I prayed that prayer
Speaker 3: of commitment, I gave my life to Christ. And I'll
Speaker 3: send you some material that will help you on your
Speaker 3: journey with Jesus. And I'll also pray for you. God
Speaker 3: bless you.
Speaker 1: What a great message from Pastor Rick today. There's something
Speaker 1: I always take away from his message. Now here's Rick
Speaker 1: with today's offer.
Speaker 3: You know, I've been a pastor for over three decades,
Speaker 3: and I've been teaching the Word of God for over
Speaker 3: four decades. And in all of that time, the number
Speaker 3: one question I've been asked by people is this, how
Speaker 3: can I change? Or why can't I change? I've talked
Speaker 3: to literally thousands and thousands of people who want to
Speaker 3: change but are just stuck and they can't figure out
Speaker 3: how to get unstuck. You know, the truth is you
Speaker 3: can't change on your own because will power alone isn't
Speaker 3: enough to make permanent changes. Sure, you can force yourself
Speaker 3: to change for a month or two months, but pretty
Speaker 3: soon you're going to go back to your old ways.
Speaker 3: Pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps is not enough.
Speaker 3: Talking yourself into a change by positive thinking is not enough.
Speaker 3: The Bible says, true transformational change only comes through the
Speaker 3: power of God inside you. So let me ask your
Speaker 3: personal question, how do you want to be different at
Speaker 3: the end of this year? What changes would you like
Speaker 3: to make in your life? What goals would you like
Speaker 3: to see accomplished in your life. Well, it isn't going
Speaker 3: to happen on your own. You're going to need God's
Speaker 3: power and I want you to understand how to plug
Speaker 3: in to God's power. That's why I'm sending out God's
Speaker 3: Power to Change your Life, a book that I've written.
Speaker 3: When you give a financial gift to support Daily Hope
