us67700:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000Go get a room67800:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,000Because he's just like67900:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000You're so beautiful68000:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000You're so beautiful68100:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000You're so funny68200:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000Hotness68300:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000So let's talk about68400:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000We were having a conversation yesterday68500:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000So we had our Sabbath on Monday68600:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000And so we go to the gym always68700:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000That's kind of one of our things, therapeutic68800:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000We're coming out of the gym68900:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000And you had listened to Pastor Robert Morris69000:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000I had listened to his message69100:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000His Sunday message69200:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000He just wrote a book called Grace Period69300:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000Which I haven't read69400:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000But he's preaching off of that book69500:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000And I started thinking about how many people69600:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000We know in our sphere of influence69700:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,000People that are Christians69800:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000People that are in the church69900:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000People that are listening on the broadcast70000:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,000Who don't have a real understanding of grace70100:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000There is a movement out there that I believe is off70200:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000That70300:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,000We agree on this70400:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000That grace says you can just do whatever you want70500:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000Why would I want to do whatever I want?70600:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000Why wouldn't I want to do what pleases my Father?70700:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,000And he really nails it in this first part70800:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000Of the series of four that he's preaching70900:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000And really talks about grace and what it means71000:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000And he said something interesting71100:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000He said most people when they first get saved71200:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000They know they got saved by grace71300:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000Because they're in the middle of their sin basically71400:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000They're sinful beings71500:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000And we ask Jesus to come into our life71600:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000Be our Lord and Savior71700:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000And we know it's the grace of God71800:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000That brought us to salvation71900:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000But it's later on in our walk with Jesus72000:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000When we began to mix law and grace72100:18:27,000 --> 00:18:33,000Where we can believe 99% of the time72200:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000We can believe that we're saved by grace72300:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000But there's something in us that turns to where we think72400:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000We have to earn something72500:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000And I lock in it to like for one like a birthday party72600:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000Like we go to a birthday party72700:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000And everybody brings you presents72800:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,000Okay72900:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000Now did you earn that present?73000:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000No they're giving it to you because they love you73100:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000And it's your birthday73200:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,000Right73300:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000He didn't use this analogy73400:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000I just kind of came up with it earlier73500:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000Way to go73600:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000Preach73700:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000But so much so many of us think that we73800:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000Yeah we received grace when we got saved73900:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000We received God74000:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,000God is full of grace74100:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,000That's who he is74200:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000But then later on we feel like okay74300:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000I got to do this because I got to please him74400:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000Or you can go the total opposite74500:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000I don't have to do anything because I'm saved74600:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000What does it matter?74700:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000You know I mean grace is there74800:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000There's always extremes on either end of the spectrum74900:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000There is75000:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,000That's the danger zone when you're so far one way75100:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000That you can't even see the other end of the spectrum75200:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000Right75300:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000Because you're so far off there75400:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000You're in an extreme and that's unhealthy75500:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,000Yes75600:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000And it's dangerous75700:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000Yes75800:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000So we've known people and I've been attacked online a lot75900:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000A lot76000:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000Even in church I've had people come to me and go76100:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000You're mixing law and grace76200:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000I'm like can you just define that for me because76300:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000No because what they're saying though is we don't have to do anything76400:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000Right76500:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000Well that's not true76600:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000That's the extreme76700:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000Because in the book of James it says be doers of the word76800:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000Not hearers only76900:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000But that doesn't mean I'm doing something to earn salvation77000:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,000Right77100:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000I've already earned that77200:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,000Right exactly77300:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000But they've totally missed it77400:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000You didn't earn it77500:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,000It was given to you as a gift77600:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,000I mean I've77700:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000I need to clarify that77800:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,000I didn't mean to say that77900:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000I've already received it as a gift78000:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000I never have had to earn anything with God78100:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,000Right78200:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000Period78300:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000Right78400:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000And I never will78500:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,000There's a duty I have as a minister of the gospel78600:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,000Which we all are once we become saved78700:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,000Right78800:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,000We're ministers of the gospel78900:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000Whether we go to school for it and become79000:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000A pastor or missionary or teacher or whatever79100:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000Or we're just lay people who just79200:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000Love the Lord and we're Christians79300:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000We're to minister to people79400:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,000Right79500:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,000We go there for79600:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000Well here's another way to say it79700:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000So salvation is free79800:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000Yes79900:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000And some people will say but everything else cost you80000:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,000Well I don't agree with that80100:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000No nothing cost us80200:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000Salvation is free and now we work80300:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000From the posture of being saved80400:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,000Yes80500:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000Not we don't work for being saved80600:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000Exactly80700:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000We work because we're saved80800:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,000Yes80900:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000And so the work we do now is in cooperation81000:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000Where we co-labor with Christ81100:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000With Christ81200:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000But I don't have to do it to earn81300:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,000Because I've already received the gift81400:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000You don't get brownie points for doing stuff81500:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000I don't earn a birthday gift when someone brings it to me81600:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000I receive the gift81700:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,000Right81800:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000And then I take it in81900:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000And do with the gift what it's meant to do82000:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000And you enjoy it but I don't earn it82100:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,000I don't82200:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000Now this is something that I brought up earlier to you82300:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000That my older children always had a hard time82400:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,000With my ex-husband82500:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000Right82600:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000They lived in such fear82700:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,000Right82800:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,000Of him82900:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000He thought it was respect83000:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000He thought it was respect because I'm going to teach him the fear of God83100:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,000It was fear83200:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,000Well that's not God either83300:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,000Right83400:21:59,000 --> 00:22:05,000But see he even learned that as he was growing up in church83500:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000To fear God so you've got to put this83600:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000You've got to always be afraid83700:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000Well that's not what fear of God is either83800:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,000Is being afraid83900:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000It's being in reverential awe of God84000:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000Another way to say that is so that it would scare the hell out of you84100:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,000Literally84200:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,000Yes84300:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000Yeah that's that mentality of we've got to scare the hell out of them84400:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,000And that's wrong84500:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,000That's wrong84600:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000Oh it's sick84700:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,000It's abusive84800:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000But my kids always had this fear84900:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,000And I had a fear of my own father because I didn't know85000:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000You know from one minute to the next85100:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000How he would if he was going to you know blow steam off85200:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,000I had no idea85300:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,000That is not God85400:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,000No85500:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,000God loves us85600:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000Now does he correct us?85700:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000Absolutely85800:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,000That's what a parent does right?85900:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,000Exactly86000:22:53,000 --> 00:22:58,000But it's never in any way going to harm us at all86100:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000So the way to say that is it's redemptive in nature not punitive86200:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,000Exactly86300:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000And so whenever God corrects us he's not punishing us86400:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,000He's trying to help us86500:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,000He's trying to get us back on track86600:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000Get us back on the right course86700:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000Because we got off course somehow86800:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,000I have a Bible verse86900:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,000What?87000:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,000Because hold your thought87100:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,000No it's good87200:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000Because you're right in the flow of this87300:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,000So in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 this is one of those87400:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,000Tipping point verses that's just huge in every believer's life87500:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000Everyone who's a disciple of Jesus87600:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000Everyone who's an apprentice of Christ87700:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,000Not just I said yes, checked a card, got dipped in a hot tub87800:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000So now I think I'm going to heaven87900:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000But people who truly have a relationship with Jesus88000:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000Because not everybody who does that is going to heaven88100:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000Because they didn't internalize it88200:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,000A very scary verse along that exact line is88300:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000Many will say to me Lord, Lord88400:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000And I'll say depart from me88500:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000Didn't I prophesy in your name?88600:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,000Didn't I cast out demons?88700:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000Didn't I do all this in your name?88800:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000And he will say88900:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000He'll say depart from me89000:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000I never knew you89100:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000That's scary89200:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000It is scary89300:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000That means you can do all the stuff89400:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,000You can look religious89500:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,000You can act religious89600:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000You can speak Christianese89700:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000Speak the language, the vocabulary89800:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000And not be born again89900:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000That scares me90000:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000That's scary90100:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,000Is that a drill or something?90200:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,000That was a drill90300:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000Awesome90400:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000So verse 890500:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000For by grace90600:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000There's that word90700:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000For by grace you have been saved90800:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,000Through faith90900:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000So I always say how are you saved?91000:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000Well you're saved by grace through faith91100:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000By grace through faith91200:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000You've been saved by grace91300:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000For by grace you've been saved91400:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,000Through faith91500:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000And that not of yourselves91600:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000It is the gift of God91700:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,000It's a gift91800:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000So when people say something to the effect of91900:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000Hey, salvation's free but everything else92000:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000Discipleship will cost you92100:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000I do not agree with that philosophy92200:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000There's a mentality there that says92300:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000Well there is a book called The Cost of Discipleship92400:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000But that's totally different92500:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000That's Dietrich Bonhoeffer92600:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,000Totally different92700:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,000And that has to do with persecution92800:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,000That has to do with World War I when Hitler rose92900:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000Totally different93000:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000And decimated93100:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000Yes93200:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,000Yeah, anyway93300:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000Totally different thing93400:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000But this idea that93500:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000Yeah, you get in for free but now you've got to pay for it93600:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000That's the mentality people have93700:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000It's not that at all93800:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000John's getting after it out there93900:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000But we're saved by grace94000:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000In other words we've been given this gift94100:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000And by the way the word grace doesn't mean94200:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000It's not passive94300:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000It's actually active and powerful94400:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000Yes94500:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000And by definition grace94600:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000Some will say oh well it just means unmerited favor94700:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000Well that's not actually accurate94800:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000I mean did Jesus need unmerited favor?94900:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000No, he was perfect95000:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,000He was perfect95100:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000He didn't need grace in that definition95200:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000But he did need grace in the actual definition of the word95300:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000Which hardly anyone talks about95400:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000And it's this95500:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000Grace is God's power95600:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000God's strength95700:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,000God's ability95800:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,000God's authority95900:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000And God's favor96000:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000To do what we cannot in and of ourselves do96100:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000Put that in your pop and smoke96200:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000Pop and smoke?96300:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000That is96400:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000Take that to the bank96500:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000However you want to say it96600:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000I'm just trying to emphasize96700:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000That was an exclamation point96800:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,000Oh, okay96900:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,000Yeah, a colloquialism97000:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000So anyway97100:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000Exclamation point high five, five stars97200:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000I mean that's what it means97300:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000Power, strength, ability, authority, and favor97400:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,000To do what you can't do in and of yourself97500:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,000That's grace97600:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000So we're saved by that power, strength, ability, favor97700:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000We're saved by that97800:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000Because we can't do it ourselves97900:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,000Why do you think so many people end up later on in life98000:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,000Than with the attitude of okay well then I've got to earn it98100:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,000I think that98200:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000You think it's erroneous teaching98300:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000It's a Puritan work ethic that we're raised with98400:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000You work eight hours, you get paid eight hours98500:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000Right?98600:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, right?98700:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000And so there's a mentality of that98800:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,000You don't get anything98900:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000There's nothing for free99000:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000You'll even hear people say that99100:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000Oh, nothing in life is free99200:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,000Well actually there is, salvation99300:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,000By grace, through faith, is a free gift of God99400:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000The word tells us right there99500:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,000It's a free gift99600:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000And we don't earn it, we receive it99700:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,000We just say yes, Lord99800:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000And then there's that other camp that says99900:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000We don't have to do anything100000:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000So because all my sins are covered100100:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,000I can really live however I want and be okay100200:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000Yeah, it's a small minority of people who say that100300:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000But there are groups out there that have taken it100400:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,000But they're a loud voice100500:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000Again, it's to the extreme100600:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000Where they think100700:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000And then if you even use the word work in a sentence100800:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000Like oh, you're mixing law and grace100900:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000I mean, I've had that stuff come down on me101000:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000I mean, especially on social media101100:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,000I'll be talking about something101200:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000And somebody will just riff on me101300:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,000That's a hyper-grace dude101400:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,000And they'll be like101500:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,000You're mixing law and grace101600:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,000And I'm like101700:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000Have you not read the book of Acts?101800:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,000Paul did at least three or four missionary journeys101900:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,000Probably more102000:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000Planted churches all over the known world at the time102100:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000Are you telling me that wasn't work?102200:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000Are you telling me that wasn't hard work?102300:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000And usually it's the work of it102400:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000The people who don't pastor, who have never pastored102500:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000Or they're bitter102600:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000Most of them have been hurt102700:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,000Bitter with the church102800:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000They've been hurt in a legalistic church102900:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000And I understand where that's coming from103000:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000Because there's some dark stuff out there103100:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,000That's hyper-legalism103200:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000There's another extreme where it's like103300:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000You know, it's all about don'ts and no-dos103400:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000I mean, you don't live, you just die103500:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,000And that's it103600:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000I mean, you don't do any103700:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000You don't do this, you don't do that103800:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000And they're pounding the pulpit103900:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000And they're beating people down104000:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000And that's spiritual abuse104100:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,000So a lot of people have come up through those kind of churches104200:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000Where it was all about the don'ts104300:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000But nothing about the dos104400:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000You do get to live104500:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000You do get to enjoy an abundant life104600:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000You do104700:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000The word blessed means happy104800:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000Man, and I've heard people get upset about that104900:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000Oh, Jesus, we're not supposed to be happy105000:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000We're supposed to be joyful105100:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,000All the pictures that were depicted of Jesus105200:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,000They're always him with this frown and just looking105300:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,000He looks macabre105400:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,000Yes105500:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000Weird105600:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000He looks like Ashen, like he's in a grave or something105700:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,000But the Bible says he was filled with the oil of joy105800:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,000More than all of his brethren105900:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000He was the happiest guy in the room106000:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000The word blessed means happy106100:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000We need to get over it106200:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000And say, okay, he did say I could have a happy life106300:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000Blessed are you when106400:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,000I love it106500:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,000Blessed to be a blessing106600:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000I can't wait to listen to the next one106700:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000I've listened to all of his first106800:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000And we're just doing a little snippet of it106900:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,000Because it got me thinking about the people that have been107000:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,000In our lives that struggle with the word grace107100:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,000And so I'm excited to get into this next one107200:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000I have a question for you, Daymanette107300:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,000What?107400:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000What would you tell somebody who's listening107500:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000And they have been in a church that has been very legalistic107600:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000And they just feel beat down107700:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,000I would say they need to move away from that church107800:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000Run, forest, run107900:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,000Because you need to get in a church that's actually108000:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000Preaching the word of God108100:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,000I mean, we've talked about this in the last few weeks108200:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000Just even at church how many pastors don't even preach108300:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000The whole countenance of the word108400:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,000Right, the whole council of the word108500:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,000Yeah, the council of the word108600:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000They actually pick and choose things108700:30:48,000 --> 00:30:54,000We've chosen to go the route of preaching all of the word108800:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,000Because we believe all of it108900:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000Yeah, last week was not fluffy109000:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000I mean, when I preached on Sunday I brought the heat109100:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000But it's because we need the whole council of God's word109200:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000We need the balance of it109300:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000So it wasn't fluffy109400:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000It was calling us out to get active109500:31:08,000

going to say who it's from121900:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000But she asked some really relevant questions in this122000:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000I'm wondering, do you believe it is biblical to wait on the Lord122100:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,000And let the Holy Spirit work in your spouse's heart?122200:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,000Or do you believe it is best to bring things up122300:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000That might be painful to hear122400:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,000But ultimately might shine light on something122500:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000That may need to be changed?122600:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,000Did you answer her?122700:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,000I did answer122800:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,000How did you answer?122900:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,000I said, you cannot just throw out a blanket statement123000:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000Because every relationship is unique123100:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000Every person is unique123200:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,000And every family dynamic is different123300:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,000And there's a timing123400:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,000Yeah, absolutely123500:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,000Yes123600:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000Yeah, I mean, and

timing124000:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000And you've got to know your relationship, what it can take124100:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,000Yes124200:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,000Because not everybody can handle124300:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,000Right124400:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,000Because if I was to say, hey, honey, you know I love you124500:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000But gosh, you are so prideful lately124600:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,000I've noticed you're just like over the top arrogant124700:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,000It would hurt my feelings124800:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000Or if I said, gosh, you were really mean to me124900:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,000I mean, I wish you wouldn't be so mean125000:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,000Well, you've done that before125100:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,000Well,

to approach125500:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,000Exactly, but not every relationship has the weight to bear125600:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000Like I came to you the other day and I said, you know125700:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000You kind of embarrassed me125800:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,000Yeah125900:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,000In a crowd126000:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000And I didn't mean
