33
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>actually do a podcast in front of people like this.

34
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 2>We've had events, but no, we've done a Bible Guys live,

35
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.239

152
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 1>mean that's the reason why it's a stump the pastor question, right.

153
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I think you're asking it because the Apostles

154
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Creed said he went into Hell, right, So that's not

155
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.360
<v Speaker 2>in the Bible per se, but it is in the

156
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 2>Apostles Creed. And the idea was that Jesus would go

157
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 2>there and then take the captives and set them free.

158
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 2>And that's based on first Peter talks about that, Yeah,

159
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 2>talks about the idea that Jesus went to I think

160
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I have the verse. Let me let me see if

161
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.439
<v Speaker 2>I pulled it up just so that we didn't do

162
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>this specifically.

163
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Where is it, Yeah, where he says, yeah, we actually

164
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>uh set the cap.

165
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So the Apostles Creed says he descended into hell,

166
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 2>and on the third day he rose again. In First

167
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Peter chapter three, it says he was put to death

168
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>in the body, but made alive in the spirit, and

169
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.560
<v Speaker 2>after being made alive, he went and made proclamation to

170
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 2>the imprisoned spirits. Some translations say that he went and

171
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.040
<v Speaker 2>proclaimed his victory to the imprison spirits. So the question

172
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 2>would be who are the who are they? And where

173
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 2>was that?

174
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Where was it right?

175
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 2>So in the Apostles Creed they assumed that was in hell.

176
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Some people think that those imprison spirits are the fallen angels,

177
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>and that he, Jesus, just went and said I won, right,

178
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 2>So that's part of it. Other people think that maybe

179
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>it was the people that were in Remember when Jesus

180
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>tells the story of the rich Man, he dies and

181
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Lazarus dies, and there's the Abraham's bosom. It was this

182
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.839
<v Speaker 2>place paradise where the believers in God were kept. And

183
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>then Jesus had said, while he was still alive, I'm

184
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 2>going to go prepare a place for you, right, and

185
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.759
<v Speaker 2>then you're going to go be with me. And so

186
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.759
<v Speaker 2>some theologians believe that Jesus went and took the people

187
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.439
<v Speaker 2>out of Abraham's bosom or out of Paradise and took

188
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.439
<v Speaker 2>them to that, you know, in my father's house or

189
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:30.279
<v Speaker 2>many mansions places.

190
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>And let's not forget that Jesus also said to Mary,

191
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.639
<v Speaker 1>don't touch me, because I have not yet ascended to

192
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:36.080
<v Speaker 1>my father.

193
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Right, So he didn't go to heaven, So he didn't

194
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 2>go to heaven.

195
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>So we know that is true, right, And we know

196
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that he was dead, so he died because you know,

197
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>he breathed his last at three o'clock in the afternoon,

198
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 1>so we definitely know that he wasn't in heaven. So yeah,

199
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 1>the ultimate answer is we don't know, but that will

200
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.240
<v Speaker 1>be a great question based on these theories when we

201
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:56.799
<v Speaker 1>get to heaven.

202
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>I think he probably took the people from Paradise to

203
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.960
<v Speaker 2>you know that in my father's house many mansions Ephesians.

204
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Paul talks about it that Jesus took captivity captive, and

205
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 2>that seems to be in the time that he was

206
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 2>in the grave. That seems to be it. So there's

207
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.600
<v Speaker 2>a misunderstanding. To finalize that, there's a misunderstanding with the

208
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Apostles Creed where it says Jesus descended into hell. We're

209
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.039
<v Speaker 2>thinking of hell like Dante's Inferno kind of hell, right,

210
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're thinking. But the word hell is that shield,

211
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 2>which just means the place of the dead. Right, So

212
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 2>he descended into the place of the dead, and then

213
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.519
<v Speaker 2>three days later he ascended, and so that that's the

214
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Apostles Creed version. But because it has the word hell

215
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 2>in it, we kind of think of like flaming fire

216
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing. But I don't believe that's what it was.

217
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, oh, I just figured out you were answering

218
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.039
<v Speaker 1>him because he's right here.

219
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody else in the room

220
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.159
<v Speaker 2>knew that too. Yeah, that's Austin Blount. Hey, Chris, that's Austin.

221
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Austin I've met as Yeah.

222
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I was at first thought you were talking to Tom

223
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and then Liz and all that, but Austin's there as well.

224
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:05.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, he's like, what a jerk, He's ignoring everybody else,

225
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:06.519
<v Speaker 2>just talking to this guy.

226
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for real.

227
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So we have a question number two.

228
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 1>You want to read it?

229
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it says give me clarity. This is from Alex Jones. Hi,

230
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Alex Jones, Hey, Alex, Yeah, yeah, clarity on why John

231
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.360
<v Speaker 2>the Baptist called out Herod Antipas for marrying his brother's

232
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.639
<v Speaker 2>wife and the Gospels and for breaking God's law about marriage.

233
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>While Herod wasn't even a Jew. Why was John so

234
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:28.840
<v Speaker 2>concerned about this issue?

235
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.639
<v Speaker 1>Uh? Yeah, so I would say, uh, number one, he

236
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 1>was a prophet, and prophets preach against sin all the time.

237
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

238
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 1>And then number two, because Herod had actually made a

239
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>profession of faith. His his answer his parents.

240
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Did, right, Yeah, I think it was his great grandfather

241
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 2>became the first tetrarch, you know, overseeing Israel, and so

242
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 2>they converted to Judaism then, and so he wouldn't have

243
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 2>been full blown Jewish, but had was following the Jewish religion.

244
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.519
<v Speaker 2>And then his father is the one who built Herod's

245
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 2>temple and as a as a he commissioned it for

246
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the Jewish people. And then they lived publicly, they lived

247
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 2>by the Jewish law. The Herods did publicly. Privately they

248
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.480
<v Speaker 2>lived like a bunch of rascals, racals, Yeah yeah, yeah,

249
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.919
<v Speaker 2>So so it was it was pretty sketchy the way

250
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 2>that they lived. And so he's also calling out the

251
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.440
<v Speaker 2>fact that if you're claiming to be a Jew, you're

252
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be living by the law, and that John

253
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 2>the Baptist had said, you're breaking the law, and he's

254
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.799
<v Speaker 2>talking about the levitical law. You can't marry your brother's wife.

255
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 2>That's an incestuous, you know, relationship. And he had divorced

256
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.960
<v Speaker 2>his own wife, and then went and goes and uh

257
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 2>seduces Herodotus which is Herodius I think, which was his

258
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>sister in law, and she left her.

259
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 1>And ultimately he lost his head because of it.

260
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 2>John the Baptist did yes, yes, yeah.

261
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which is terrible.

262
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 2>So he was holding him to the standard that he

263
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.960
<v Speaker 2>was publicly claiming, but privately isn't living that way. That's

264
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.159
<v Speaker 2>that's why John the Baptist did that.

265
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Okay.

266
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.159
<v Speaker 2>And then finally, this one's so cool. Yeah, Logan, I

267
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:08.240
<v Speaker 2>read it like four times.

268
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Chillers.

269
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

270
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Says this in Matthew chapter seventeen, verses one through thirteen.

271
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Also in Luke nine twenty through thirty six, when Jesus

272
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.039
<v Speaker 1>goes up to the mountain to speak with God, Moses

273
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and Elijah are also there. Is it a possibility of

274
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 1>them being in their own times and being brought to

275
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.919
<v Speaker 1>some sort of place without time on the mountain where

276
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.639
<v Speaker 1>all three could be technically in their own time yet

277
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>be teleported to speak in one instant with everyone who

278
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.799
<v Speaker 1>had been brought together by God. Question mark Also, would

279
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:46.759
<v Speaker 1>this in a way have strengthened the processors Moses and

280
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Elijah to be even more confident in what they were

281
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>building towards by leading and prophesying. So basically, what it's

282
00:12:55.120 --> 00:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>saying is this, It's saying, what if during the Transfiguration,

283
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 1>what if God was able to pull Moses out of

284
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.679
<v Speaker 1>his time? So, like you know, back in Exodus, Moses

285
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 1>just sort of blipped out of his time and went

286
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.840
<v Speaker 1>back to his time and he experienced the Transfiguration while

287
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 1>he was alive on Earth in that timeframe, right, So

288
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.600
<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit of a movie kind of a thing, which,

289
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:20.519
<v Speaker 1>of course I'm all about.

290
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I knew you'd love this. You want to go to

291
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>lunch now.

292
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.919
<v Speaker 1>With Yeah, yeah, yeah Logan, I'd be like, what are

293
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the thoughts do you have? And then also with Elijah.

294
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, this sounds hilarious, but I've had

295
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>this thought before, thought this exact thought, because if it

296
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:38.120
<v Speaker 1>was during then.

297
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Hey, if something ever happens to Chris Logan, are you

298
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>looking for a job, because I'm going to need another

299
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Bible guy.

300
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Hey, we never said they were you know whatever. But

301
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:51.480
<v Speaker 1>if bottom line is is if that were true, then

302
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:56.080
<v Speaker 1>that would be super compelling. Right for Moses then to

303
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>have seen Jesus live and then you know, existed and

304
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.639
<v Speaker 1>and talk and saw everybody and then going back and

305
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.159
<v Speaker 1>he'd be like, man, talk about believing God is real.

306
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Right, So let's let's just catch everybody up. Just not

307
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 2>assuming everybody know stands the transfiguration. Jesus goes up on

308
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.159
<v Speaker 2>the mountain and he brings Peter, James and John with him,

309
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.519
<v Speaker 2>and it was during a very difficult time of ministry.

310
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 2>And he goes up to the top of the mountain

311
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 2>and Moses and Elijah meet him there. The Bible says,

312
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:29.759
<v Speaker 2>they minister to Jesus, they're giving this strength. When Jesus

313
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.879
<v Speaker 2>comes back down off the mountain, he glowed, right, There

314
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.960
<v Speaker 2>was this glow about him because of this interaction with

315
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Moses and Elijah, and it was a very deeply spiritual

316
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:42.320
<v Speaker 2>moment for Jesus. It was kind of now from that

317
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.799
<v Speaker 2>point on, Jesus is heading to Jerusalem to die. This

318
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.519
<v Speaker 2>is now, It's going to take a few months, but

319
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:51.559
<v Speaker 2>everything is going downhill from there, he's heading towards Jerusalem,

320
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 2>and Peter, James and John they wanted to build like

321
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>little little temples to all three, right, huts, Yeah, little huts,

322
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't do it. So the question that Logan

323
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.759
<v Speaker 2>is asking is is it possible that there was like

324
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:08.799
<v Speaker 2>this bubble over top of the hill where Jesus and

325
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Moses and Elijah were outside of time? Right, that this

326
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 2>was asking? And then there was no time for them,

327
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 2>and so Moses was just walking around in his regular

328
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:22.639
<v Speaker 2>time and suddenly he's standing there talking to Jesus, and

329
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Elijah's walking around his regular time, and he's standing there

330
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.679
<v Speaker 2>talking to Jesus during Jesus time.

331
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:29.879
<v Speaker 1>Here mind, which equals blown.

332
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which which is super cool, right, which means then

333
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.000
<v Speaker 2>that you've got this intersection of multiple times and so

334
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:38.000
<v Speaker 2>then you get multiple right, Yeah, it's like.

335
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>A flash when he was in that bubble.

336
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:45.879
<v Speaker 2>Super cool. I would say this theologically, I think it's

337
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.919
<v Speaker 2>fairly compelling for sure, right, because we know God is

338
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:52.480
<v Speaker 2>outside of time, that's right. God is the author of time.

339
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 2>There is no time for God. A day is a

340
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 2>thousand years, a thousand years as a day to God,

341
00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 2>So time is important to you and me. Time would

342
00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:02.080
<v Speaker 2>have important to Moses while he was alive and Elijah

343
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>while he was alive. And so the question was it

344
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:07.799
<v Speaker 2>really is, do you think that Moses and Elijah had

345
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:12.559
<v Speaker 2>already died and these were like resurrected bodies.

346
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Showing up, which I always assumed, right.

347
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Or were they alive God just transported them to the

348
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.919
<v Speaker 2>mountain for a second and then sent them back. And

349
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 2>if so, how much more confident would they be about

350
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.720
<v Speaker 2>their ministry knowing that they saw one Moses got to

351
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.320
<v Speaker 2>be in the promised Land. He got to see the

352
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 2>promised one, Elijah being the prophet, right, and they summarized

353
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:34.879
<v Speaker 2>the law and the prophets. That's why they did. It's

354
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.399
<v Speaker 2>a cool idea. It's not in the Bible, but it's

355
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:38.480
<v Speaker 2>not against the Bible.

356
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, and it's just fun to think about. So the

357
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>ultimate answer is we don't know, Logan, thanks for asking.

358
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, that's really it. That's it, Okay. So I

359
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.679
<v Speaker 2>typed it into AI. I asked AI, Oh really yeah,

360
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:54.279
<v Speaker 2>because I was having a hard time tracking with the question.

361
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 2>My mind was blown like five times. Uh huh. So

362
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:03.080
<v Speaker 2>it says this one, Logan, you'd be so proud it said, Logan,

363
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.519
<v Speaker 2>that's a deep and thoughtful question, and you're tapping into

364
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.880
<v Speaker 2>some rich theology and mystery around the transfiguration. That's it.

365
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.400
<v Speaker 2>So even AI was what, Yeah, that's the only thing

366
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:16.759
<v Speaker 2>I went on. No, So, first of all, is it

367
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:18.759
<v Speaker 2>possible that Moses and Elijah were in their own times

368
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.680
<v Speaker 2>God brought them into a timeless moment to meet with Jesus.

369
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Short answer, Yes, it's a very plausible idea and even

370
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.599
<v Speaker 2>quite beautiful. Then it goes on and impacts all these

371
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.880
<v Speaker 2>so at least, and I.

372
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Thought I thought you were saying. All I said was like.

373
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:33.880
<v Speaker 2>It was very complimentary. You got the biggest brain on

374
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.400
<v Speaker 2>the planet saying, good job. You're thinking really good logan.

375
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Right.

376
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.160
<v Speaker 2>And then the other one was could this moment have

377
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.799
<v Speaker 2>strengthened Moses and Elijah in their own missions? And it

378
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.720
<v Speaker 2>said that's an incredible thought and very possible. And then

379
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:47.880
<v Speaker 2>it went on and gave some really good stuff. I thought,

380
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, speaking of and you can trust everything, and

381
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:54.400
<v Speaker 2>the speaking of deep thoughts, you have some deep thoughts.

382
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:59.440
<v Speaker 2>You know who else had deep thoughts? Oh, Micah? Micah? Yes,

383
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Micah had deep thoughts?

384
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, Jack Candy and Micah.

385
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, So if you don't know, we're always trying

386
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:09.119
<v Speaker 2>to find the worst possible transition from the silly stuff

387
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:10.119
<v Speaker 2>into the now.

388
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:12.279
<v Speaker 1>The reason why we're in Micah at y'all is because

389
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:14.759
<v Speaker 1>in the podcast studio.

390
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:15.799
<v Speaker 2>We're Bible guys. We're big fans.

391
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're big fans. We are in that time frame

392
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:23.039
<v Speaker 1>where it's Isaiah, it's Micah. Hezekiah's right there in that timeframe.

393
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>So we sort of said, hey, for the live Bible

394
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.359
<v Speaker 1>guys event, we're gonna do Michael chapter six, versus one

395
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 1>through eight. Yes, so it's all you.

396
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So it says here we're just gonna read eight

397
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.480
<v Speaker 2>verses in Michael Chapter six is listen to what the

398
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Lord is saying. Stand up and state your case against me.

399
00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Let the mountains and hills be called the witness your complaints,

400
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.480
<v Speaker 2>and now old mountains. Listen to the Lord's complaint. He

401
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:48.559
<v Speaker 2>has a case against his people, and he will bring

402
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.599
<v Speaker 2>charges against Israel. Oh my people, what have I done

403
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 2>to you? What have I done to make you tired

404
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>of me? Answer me? Before I brought you out of

405
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Egypt and redeemed you from slavery, and I sent Moses

406
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and Aaron and Miriam to help you. Don't remember, my people,

407
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.160
<v Speaker 2>how King Bailak a moeb tried to have you cursed,

408
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:06.359
<v Speaker 2>and how Baalam's son of be you or blessed you. Instead,

409
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:09.519
<v Speaker 2>remember your journey from Acacia Grove to Gilgal, when I

410
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:11.839
<v Speaker 2>the Lord did everything I could to teach you about

411
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 2>my faithfulness. What can we bring to the Lord? Should

412
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.359
<v Speaker 2>we bring him burnt offerings? Should we bow before the

413
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Most High God with offerings and yearling calves? Should we

414
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 2>offer him thousands of rams and ten thousand rivers of

415
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:28.720
<v Speaker 2>olive oil? Should we sacrifice our firstborn children to pay

416
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:32.079
<v Speaker 2>for our sins? No, o, people, the Lord has told

417
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:34.559
<v Speaker 2>you what is good, and this is what he requires

418
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.440
<v Speaker 2>of you. To do what is right, to love mercy,

419
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.960
<v Speaker 2>and to walk humbly with your God. Well, there you go,

420
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.880
<v Speaker 2>there you go. Yep.

421
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:46.839
<v Speaker 1>So there it is eight verses. And by the way, I'm.

422
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Very free, and I'm really grateful because there weren't any

423
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.119
<v Speaker 2>hard names to read. Yes, yes, that's super glad.

424
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.039
<v Speaker 1>You know I'm familiar with Micah six eight. We used

425
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:58.559
<v Speaker 1>to sing it as kids. But the first seven verses

426
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.920
<v Speaker 1>as I was listening that sometimes you hear things like that,

427
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:04.359
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, what are they referring to? I was

428
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.599
<v Speaker 1>looking at the Life application study Bible. And for those

429
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.519
<v Speaker 1>of us in the room who don't have a good

430
00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.599
<v Speaker 1>study Bible, we always promote the life application one. Get

431
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:16.039
<v Speaker 1>this one, Yep, it's really good, not that one. Oh yeah,

432
00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:17.160
<v Speaker 1>this is a chronological. Yeah.

433
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 2>The chronological is hard to follow unless you're on purpose

434
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:21.839
<v Speaker 2>doing it chronologically, which is what we're doing. This is

435
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:24.319
<v Speaker 2>the standard uh yeah, yeah yeah, Life Appication study Bible.

436
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.200
<v Speaker 2>But they have great notes twenty bucks online.

437
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:29.079
<v Speaker 1>They have great notes. And this one says the story

438
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.640
<v Speaker 1>of Bayluck and Baalam, which is referenced in verse number

439
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.039
<v Speaker 1>What was that? Verse number five is found in numbers

440
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>chapter twenty two and twenty four. And a Kia Grove

441
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:43.240
<v Speaker 1>was the Israelites campsite by the Jordan River just before

442
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:46.400
<v Speaker 1>they entered the Promised Land in Joshua chapter two. There

443
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the people received many of God's instructions about how to live.

444
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Gilgal their first campsite after crossing the Jordan, and Joshua

445
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:58.160
<v Speaker 1>four was where the people renewed their covenant with God

446
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:03.079
<v Speaker 1>in Joshua five. These two places represent God's loving care

447
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.160
<v Speaker 1>for his people, his willingness both to protect them and

448
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:09.359
<v Speaker 1>to warn them about potential troubles. So in Micah's day,

449
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:13.079
<v Speaker 1>the people had forgotten this covenant and its benefits, and

450
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:18.000
<v Speaker 1>it turned away from God. So those seemingly random things

451
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.200
<v Speaker 1>that he's mentioning, he's recalling. Don't you remember, Don't you

452
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.839
<v Speaker 1>remember right before you cross the Jordan River. Don't you

453
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:27.559
<v Speaker 1>remember right after you cross the Jordan River? Don't you

454
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 1>remember how God met with you, gave you instructions, how

455
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:32.319
<v Speaker 1>he ministered to you, that he made a covenant with

456
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you and in you as a people have forgotten this covenant.

457
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:36.599
<v Speaker 1>You've forgotten God.

458
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I've been there. I've been to a Kasha grove, oh

459
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.279
<v Speaker 2>for there. Yeah. Yeah. So what's really amazing is this

460
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:50.559
<v Speaker 2>is where the Israelites crossed the Jordan River. Yeah, right there.

461
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:54.480
<v Speaker 2>This is where Elijah ascended back to Heaven. The plains

462
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:56.519
<v Speaker 2>right above it. So you go down to the river.

463
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:58.640
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of flat right there. It comes down off

464
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:01.279
<v Speaker 2>these hills and there's a a little plane right here.

465
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:04.319
<v Speaker 2>You're less than a mile away, two miles away. And

466
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:08.680
<v Speaker 2>then that's also where Jesus was baptized. It all happened

467
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 2>in the same ye, same exact spots.

468
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Basically, Well, then I've been there because I knew that.

469
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I was on the Jordan side of the river, not

470
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:16.480
<v Speaker 2>the Israel side.

471
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 1>So I did you do baptisms where Jesus was baptized?

472
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

473
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Yah, that's what we did too.

474
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So we parked on the Jordan side and we

475
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:27.759
<v Speaker 2>got this. It was remember when Iran was shooting rockets

476
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:31.240
<v Speaker 2>into Israel. So we landed in Amman, Jordan, like three

477
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:36.079
<v Speaker 2>hours after the airport reopened, and so then we got

478
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a pass from the head of intelligence for Jordan to

479
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:42.400
<v Speaker 2>go down and visit the baptism site. And we keep

480
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:44.400
<v Speaker 2>getting stopped by military people the whole time, and there

481
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.880
<v Speaker 2>were no tourists anywhere around, and so as we're driving around,

482
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 2>they gave us like this thing we could figure out

483
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:51.440
<v Speaker 2>where all this stuff was. It was really really cool. Yeah,

484
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker 2>well and then we almost got arrested.

485
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:54.519
<v Speaker 1>Now is this one you went two years ago with

486
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the missions?

487
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.599
<v Speaker 2>No? No, this was like last summer, okay, okayeah, Yeah.

488
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.240
<v Speaker 1>When I went, I was nine, So I'm sure, which

489
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:02.400
<v Speaker 1>is quite a while back. I'm sure they probably told

490
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.240
<v Speaker 1>me this is where they crossed the Jordan River. I

491
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:06.039
<v Speaker 1>just probably forgot that was the same spot.

492
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, except when you're on the Israel side, they're usually

493
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:13.559
<v Speaker 2>highlighting the fact that you just rate there's Jericho. Yeah yeah,

494
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:15.799
<v Speaker 2>yeah right, so yeah, but on the Jordan's side, they

495
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 2>don't have Jericho, so they got to tell you this

496
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:18.519
<v Speaker 2>is where gotcha. Yeah.

497
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:20.799
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, on verse number one, I also

498
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I know I'm referring to these notes here, but I

499
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.839
<v Speaker 1>also love the note where it says, stand up and

500
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>state your case against me. Let the mountains and the

501
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:33.519
<v Speaker 1>hills be called to witness your complaints, and it basically

502
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.880
<v Speaker 1>says here it is. It says God called to the

503
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:40.720
<v Speaker 1>mountains to confirm the people's guilt. The mountains would serve

504
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:44.000
<v Speaker 1>as excellent witnesses, for it was in the high places

505
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:47.799
<v Speaker 1>that the people had built pagan altars and sacrifice to

506
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:51.440
<v Speaker 1>false gods. And then it lists different places one Kings fourteen,

507
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:56.720
<v Speaker 1>e Zeko, chapter twenty, Jeremiah seventeen. And so that's very

508
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:57.599
<v Speaker 1>interesting as well.

509
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Right yeah, yeah, So well he's calling in his witnesses

510
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 2>against the people because God goes on. He says, so

511
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to testify against you. I got some trouble

512
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:06.799
<v Speaker 2>with you, right, I've got an issue with you people,

513
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:09.279
<v Speaker 2>and he goes, what do I have to do? I

514
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:12.359
<v Speaker 2>led you out of slavery. I sent you Moses and

515
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Aaron and Miriam, and they were great leaders. And I

516
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:19.240
<v Speaker 2>proved my faithfulness to you. When the king of Moab

517
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:21.400
<v Speaker 2>was trying to get you cursed, I talked the prophet

518
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:24.119
<v Speaker 2>into blessing you instead. He's like, I just don't even

519
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:25.799
<v Speaker 2>know what I need to do to make you guys

520
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.720
<v Speaker 2>believe that I'm faithful to you. And you know, one

521
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:31.799
<v Speaker 2>of his accusations through all of the minor prophets is

522
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:35.519
<v Speaker 2>you're always cheating on me. God is always accusing them

523
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:40.000
<v Speaker 2>of committing spiritual adultery against God, always cheating with other gods.

524
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:41.920
<v Speaker 2>And God's saying, but I've always been faithful. I can

525
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:43.680
<v Speaker 2>prove it over and over and over again. And so

526
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:46.799
<v Speaker 2>pointing out those mountains where they were doing all their

527
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:50.200
<v Speaker 2>illicit worship was one of those things like, hey, I

528
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.359
<v Speaker 2>know you've been naughty, but I haven't been well.

529
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:55.039
<v Speaker 1>He asked the question, he says, and what a great question,

530
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh people, What have I done to you? What have

531
00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I done to make you tired of me? Then he says,

532
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.200
<v Speaker 1>answer me, Well, they can't come up with an answer, right,

533
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:04.960
<v Speaker 1>So God has you know, He's basically asking them, and

534
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:07.400
<v Speaker 1>he's like, hey, if I've been unfaithful one time, if

535
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I have if I've been unfair, if I've been unjust,

536
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:13.359
<v Speaker 1>if I've been unloving, you know, without justification. We know

537
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:16.559
<v Speaker 1>that God has judgment. We know that God recalls us

538
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.359
<v Speaker 1>to righteousness. We know that God sets laws and motion.

539
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:22.799
<v Speaker 1>We know that God demands glory for himself. Right, all

540
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>those things are in place. But what he's really saying

541
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.039
<v Speaker 1>is he's saying, name me one thing that's been out

542
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 1>of place, that has gone against my character, you know,

543
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:32.319
<v Speaker 1>name me an offense. And of course they're without answer.

544
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.160
<v Speaker 2>It's really amazing because he's talking about his faithfulness. You

545
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:38.000
<v Speaker 2>can see him kind of pleading with them. It's on

546
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.799
<v Speaker 2>a relational level. God's clearly coming and going, I wanted

547
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.519
<v Speaker 2>a relationship with you. You keep rejecting it, and they

548
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>pivot from relationship to religion in verse six. Their response

549
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:51.599
<v Speaker 2>was not oh God, we've broken your heart and we

550
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:53.519
<v Speaker 2>want things to be right between us. That wasn't it.

551
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Their thing was, Okay, what sacrifices do you want now?

552
00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Right?

553
00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Right? That's what they pivot to. Can we bring some

554
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:01.359
<v Speaker 2>burn off rings.

555
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Or thousand rams.

556
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we'll bring a thousand rams. You want us to

557
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:07.599
<v Speaker 2>sacrifice our firstborn? Right, So they're just looking for some

558
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of a religious solution to what God was saying

559
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Speaker 2>was a relational problem, right right, Well, because you want

560
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:16.519
<v Speaker 2>to jump through the hoops, check the boxes.

561
00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:18.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, anybody's really saying is he's saying, Hey, I don't

562
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:20.880
<v Speaker 1>want the rams. I don't want the sacrifices. I don't

563
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:24.200
<v Speaker 1>want ten thousand rivers of olive oil or sacrifice of

564
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:27.559
<v Speaker 1>your burn you know, firstborn children. He says no. The

565
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.440
<v Speaker 1>answer clearly is no. O people, the Lord has told

566
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you what is good. And then, of course this is

567
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:34.799
<v Speaker 1>the famous verse that I grew up singing.

568
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember the song only vaguely? Yeah, so it's

569
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:39.559
<v Speaker 2>not singing in almost NonStop.

570
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, because we chose this, and so all day I've

571
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:45.000
<v Speaker 1>been singing, and I learned it in the King James version. Right,

572
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:47.319
<v Speaker 1>And it goes, and you're supposed to echo. Do you

573
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:47.799
<v Speaker 1>want to echo?

574
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I will or not.

575
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, so it goes.

576
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm taken a stand against singing.

577
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, well it goes. He goes, he has

578
00:26:55.200 --> 00:27:01.240
<v Speaker 1>shown thee. He has shown thee. Oh man, oh man,

579
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:05.079
<v Speaker 1>what is good and what the Lord requires of the

580
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:08.599
<v Speaker 1>And then it does it again, and then the ending says,

581
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.880
<v Speaker 1>but to do justly, But to do justly, and to

582
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.119
<v Speaker 1>love mercy, and to love mercy, and to walk home

583
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.200
<v Speaker 1>blee with God.

584
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:20.440
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, very snappy tune.

585
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:21.759
<v Speaker 1>It is not a good tune at all.

586
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Very snappy tune. That's really just not a good dude.

587
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:25.359
<v Speaker 1>It's not a catch tune at all.

588
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:31.079
<v Speaker 2>You imposed that on these people. I tried you saw me,

589
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 2>try not to saw me.

590
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:34.920
<v Speaker 1>It's really not a great tune.

591
00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker 2>It really is very very snappy.

592
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why we sang it that way. I mean,

593
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:41.880
<v Speaker 1>come up with a better tune. AI could have written

594
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.440
<v Speaker 1>something way better. Yeah, but it's a little treat. Yeah.

595
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.119
<v Speaker 1>But but but obviously, when you put words to music,

596
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:51.240
<v Speaker 1>it helps you remember the lyrics and in this case,

597
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Bible verse to music.

598
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:56.160
<v Speaker 2>You use the different side of your brain. Yes, so

599
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:57.599
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times when youre trying to memorize things,

600
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.079
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to memorize it logically, and it's in and

601
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:01.599
<v Speaker 2>if that's not the side of your brain, you're always

602
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:04.079
<v Speaker 2>exercising it may be very difficult, but with music, you're

603
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:05.079
<v Speaker 2>used on the other side of your brain.

604
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:07.079
<v Speaker 1>And so that's that's how I remember all the books

605
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:09.200
<v Speaker 1>of the Bible. I told you remember that really? Yeah,

606
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:11.319
<v Speaker 1>when when I when I started at Bible College, doctor

607
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Sewell said, Okay, your Homer for tomorrow has come in

608
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:16.559
<v Speaker 1>and quote all sixty six books in the Bible in order.

609
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:18.559
<v Speaker 1>And and everybody you know I growing up in church,

610
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:21.079
<v Speaker 1>their whole lives like easy, we already know it. But

611
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:23.200
<v Speaker 1>here I am. I'm only a Christian a couple of years.

612
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:27.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm a rascal, as you said before, rascal. And

613
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:28.640
<v Speaker 1>so I'm like, how am I going to do this?

614
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:32.079
<v Speaker 1>And so I chose for some reason one little, two little,

615
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:36.680
<v Speaker 1>three little Indians. I don't know why. Big Yeah, I

616
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:39.960
<v Speaker 1>got I got Genesis xless, Viticus, numbers drawing me, Joshua, Judges,

617
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Ruth first, second, Samuel first second, Kings, first and second, Chronicles,

618
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Ezra Esther, Joe, Psalms, Proverbs, Eccles, Yes, he's miss Alomon, Isaiah, Jeremy, Lamentations,

619
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Ezekiel Dan who was a Joel. And I just kept

620
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:53.759
<v Speaker 1>on going all the way down, and I go all

621
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the way through and that's how I learned it. And

622
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, dude, and so now I'm here. It is

623
00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:00.799
<v Speaker 1>thirty something years later, I could still sing that and

624
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and and so literally, when you said help me find Michah,

625
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:04.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yeah, I know it is.

626
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:08.119
<v Speaker 2>But when when we were when we were getting ready,

627
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.039
<v Speaker 2>they had us do a sound check, and then I

628
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.599
<v Speaker 2>was Chris was talking to somebody and I was like, hey,

629
00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:15.480
<v Speaker 2>what what are we doing today? He goes Michael six eight.

630
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I was like, all right, can you help me find Micah? Right,

631
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.079
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, ooh, sure, I can find it, Like

632
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't find Michael.

633
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I'm gonna sing my little song. That's how

634
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.119
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'm gonna find it. But all of that

635
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to say, when you put the Bible verses to music, uh,

636
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's exactly why we believe worship music is powerful. Right. So,

637
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:40.960
<v Speaker 1>so most of the worship music, if not almost exclusively,

638
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:42.759
<v Speaker 1>all of it that we sing here at Heritage Church

639
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:46.920
<v Speaker 1>is based on either directly a Bible verse verse directly

640
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 1>out of there, or it'll come from a biblical principle, right,

641
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:53.319
<v Speaker 1>It'll it'll be something that is true about God. And

642
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:57.599
<v Speaker 1>so When we sing, we remind ourselves of what is true, right,

643
00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:59.839
<v Speaker 1>and so and so sometimes we walk into a church

644
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.759
<v Speaker 1>and we start with worship, you know, singing worship. It's

645
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:05.960
<v Speaker 1>all worship, but singing worship. And uh. And sometimes we're

646
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:07.720
<v Speaker 1>not in the mood. We're not in the mood to hear.

647
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:09.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're crabby. We just got in a fight

648
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:12.000
<v Speaker 1>in the parking lot with our family whatever it is.

649
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Right, Wow, what are you doing on Sunday mornings?

650
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Not not me, but I'm talking about Joe Smail.

651
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Liz is here. She's sitting right there. Yeah, which

652
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:24.559
<v Speaker 2>is awesome. I wish Liz came to every ing Yeah,

653
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:27.920
<v Speaker 2>because you step in it a lot and just imagining

654
00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:33.079
<v Speaker 2>what is Yeah, I hear about it later, but nice way,

655
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:35.160
<v Speaker 2>in only the nicest way. Yes, you hear, but.

656
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Of course she's always super nice. Okay, yeah, so uh,

657
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:43.599
<v Speaker 1>anyway back to my thought that I had, which is

658
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>which is when you walk into a church and you

659
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:48.839
<v Speaker 1>start to sing worship, what it does is it tunes

660
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.079
<v Speaker 1>your brain into what is true. And sometimes we have

661
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:53.759
<v Speaker 1>to sing it and I hate say it this way,

662
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:56.119
<v Speaker 1>but sing it until we believe it right, over and

663
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:58.519
<v Speaker 1>over again. We're just saying the words out loud, and

664
00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:01.759
<v Speaker 1>finally we just let go of our bitterness or anger

665
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.599
<v Speaker 1>or our doubt, or maybe we shift our mindset or

666
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.519
<v Speaker 1>we stop worrying. We you know, our mind just sort

667
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of focuses on what is true, and especially if we

668
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:13.920
<v Speaker 1>choose a song that is relevant to the subject of

669
00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the day. Yeah, right, And so all of that to

670
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:19.119
<v Speaker 1>say this. So I said all that to say it's

671
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:24.200
<v Speaker 1>amazing how we can listen to different podcasts, we can

672
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:26.720
<v Speaker 1>listen to different worship music, and there are so many

673
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.599
<v Speaker 1>resources available to all of us that can help us

674
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:32.960
<v Speaker 1>along the way, both in our Christian walk on a

675
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.119
<v Speaker 1>daily basis, but then also you know, just to help

676
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:39.640
<v Speaker 1>us get through sometimes the hardest of struggles.

677
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:42.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I didn't realize we were going this direction

678
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:44.440
<v Speaker 2>tonight with the thing. So if you don't know what

679
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the Bible, guys, we start with the premise that we're

680
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:50.079
<v Speaker 2>just two guys who like to talk about the Bible

681
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:53.279
<v Speaker 2>in past practical ways, and we show up and we

682
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>believe that you can just understand the words on the

683
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:58.480
<v Speaker 2>page by asking a few key questions. Right, what's to

684
00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:00.440
<v Speaker 2>say about God? What's to say about people? Is there

685
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Commando bay, Is there a Sindo void? Is there a

686
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:04.680
<v Speaker 2>promise to claim? And what should I do about it? Right?

687
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:06.279
<v Speaker 2>What should I do? As the rest? Well, you ask

688
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.200
<v Speaker 2>those six questions, you can read almost any passages in

689
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:10.839
<v Speaker 2>the Bible and get something from it. And right, So

690
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:14.440
<v Speaker 2>we normally don't we don't put together a script like tonight.

691
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Obviously we obviously we didn't put together a script.

692
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Right.

693
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:21.119
<v Speaker 2>You gotta like, why am I here? But we just

694
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:23.160
<v Speaker 2>like to talk about what comes to us in the moment,

695
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:25.039
<v Speaker 2>as if we were sitting here talking, drinking a cup

696
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:27.119
<v Speaker 2>of coffee, just talk about the Bible. And so it's

697
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:28.920
<v Speaker 2>really interesting that you brought that up and that you

698
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:31.039
<v Speaker 2>moved into this worship side of this for a minute.

699
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Tune well, and because the people were like they wanted

700
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:36.359
<v Speaker 2>to check a religious box. How do we get you

701
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:38.720
<v Speaker 2>to leave us alone? What religious things should we do?

702
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to make us, you know, give a

703
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:42.759
<v Speaker 2>thousand rams? Or how about if we sacrifice the kid?

704
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Will you leave us alone? Quick? Complain in God? Right?

705
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:47.759
<v Speaker 2>And God's talking to them on a relational level, and

706
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:51.119
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to argue on a religious level. And so

707
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:52.920
<v Speaker 2>that's a big part of what you were talking about

708
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.599
<v Speaker 2>bringing up the music side, because the art reflects the heart, right,

709
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and so God's trying to get not just the mental side,

710
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:03.680
<v Speaker 2>but He's also trying to get the heart side. And

711
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:07.640
<v Speaker 2>tonight Judy asked me to sign her Bible. She asked

712
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:09.680
<v Speaker 2>you to sign your her Bible. Two I did.

713
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we both signed it.

714
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:13.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, you took up a big chunk by

715
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:14.599
<v Speaker 2>the way. Yeah, well, it's a lot.

716
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:18.200
<v Speaker 1>It's relevant to you know, like the importance of the

717
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:19.400
<v Speaker 1>signature and this one.

718
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh so so you just wanted to give her a

719
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:22.039
<v Speaker 2>big chunkin Yeah, well, you know.

720
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so there were other signatures on there that were

721
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>less important, that were smaller.

722
00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, so so my small one, I wrote,

723
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:33.519
<v Speaker 2>I sign my name, and then I just wrote underneath

724
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:36.039
<v Speaker 2>it Psalm forty one through three, And those are like

725
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:39.200
<v Speaker 2>my favorite, some of my favorite verses, probably the verses

726
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:41.640
<v Speaker 2>that have directed my life more than any other. And

727
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:44.359
<v Speaker 2>it says I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,

728
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:47.000
<v Speaker 2>and he turned to me and heard my cry. He

729
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:48.839
<v Speaker 2>lifted me out of the pit of despair and out

730
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:50.680
<v Speaker 2>of the mud and the mire, and he set my

731
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.960
<v Speaker 2>feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along,

732
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:56.920
<v Speaker 2>and He's given me a new song to sing of him,

733
00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.480
<v Speaker 2>a praise to our God. And many will see what

734
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:01.759
<v Speaker 2>he's done and be amazed, and they'll put their trust

735
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:03.920
<v Speaker 2>in the Lord. And so big part of that, that's

736
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:05.559
<v Speaker 2>my story. God pulled me out of the muck and

737
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:07.599
<v Speaker 2>the mire and he set my feet on solid rock.

738
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:10.159
<v Speaker 2>That's great. But then he put a new song, right,

739
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:12.280
<v Speaker 2>he changed the song. The song's not what the world sings,

740
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:14.480
<v Speaker 2>the songs, you know, songs that point me to him.

741
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:17.679
<v Speaker 2>But the Bible says that God that the world sees

742
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:21.960
<v Speaker 2>the song coming from our life right right, And then

743
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.360
<v Speaker 2>it says many will see it and we'll fear, and

744
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:27.800
<v Speaker 2>we'll put their trust in the Lord. And so the

745
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.880
<v Speaker 2>song in our heart really does reflect what's going on

746
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:32.719
<v Speaker 2>in our heart, who we are. And it's amazing to me.

747
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Some many people say they want to honor the Lord,

748
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.239
<v Speaker 2>they want to make God first, and yet getting their

749
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.360
<v Speaker 2>pickup truck, and you're gonna hear what they're really honoring,

750
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:41.440
<v Speaker 2>right and whether and so we wonder why there's this

751
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:44.679
<v Speaker 2>tension all the time, and it's because we're feeding our

752
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:47.599
<v Speaker 2>hearts and our minds with something apart from God. And

753
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:49.400
<v Speaker 2>then we're claiming we want to follow God and have

754
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:51.920
<v Speaker 2>all the blessings, and so there's always this tension there,

755
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:54.159
<v Speaker 2>and I think that that land's kind of in this

756
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:56.519
<v Speaker 2>place where they're like, Hey, what are the religious rituals.

757
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Let me do a Sunday morning. I'll go to Sunday morning.

758
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you want me to write a check, I'll write check.

759
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Do you want me to serve on the usher team,

760
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:03.719
<v Speaker 2>I'll serve on the user team. Right, That's kind of

761
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:07.039
<v Speaker 2>what I feel like he's and God's like, no, that's

762
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.320
<v Speaker 2>not what I'm trying to get out out of you. Instead,

763
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:11.840
<v Speaker 2>he says, the Lord's told you what is good and

764
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:15.760
<v Speaker 2>what he requires, not what he desires, what he requires

765
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:19.000
<v Speaker 2>of you to do what's right, to love mercy, and

766
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:21.039
<v Speaker 2>to walk humbly with your God. That's pretty powerful.

767
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:24.360
<v Speaker 1>That's really powerful. Hey, just to piggyback off of you

768
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:26.000
<v Speaker 1>said you put your life.

769
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:28.440
<v Speaker 2>He does this in his ministry all the time, just

770
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:29.440
<v Speaker 2>piggybacks off of me.

771
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's what it is. I am so grateful to

772
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:38.360
<v Speaker 1>follow in the wake of your greatness. I'm just lucky

773
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:40.519
<v Speaker 1>to be there. I'm treading water in the wake of

774
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:45.559
<v Speaker 1>your greatness. That's great, that's wonderful. So I also put

775
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:51.679
<v Speaker 1>my life verse. I also put my life verse in

776
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Judy's Bible, which is First Corinthians fifteen fifty eight. And

777
00:35:56.320 --> 00:36:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading it because I know it. But but this

778
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:02.199
<v Speaker 1>is the n I'll see. I know it the King James.

779
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:04.480
<v Speaker 1>But it says, so my dear brothers and sisters, be

780
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:08.960
<v Speaker 1>strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for

781
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:11.400
<v Speaker 1>you know that nothing you do for the Lord is

782
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:14.480
<v Speaker 1>ever useless. And and and by the way, this has

783
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.199
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with anything. This is a bonus material. Again,

784
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:24.239
<v Speaker 1>But Judy had listened to the Bible, guys and faithfully.

785
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:26.760
<v Speaker 1>And we had mentioned. I had mentioned that I named

786
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:27.599
<v Speaker 1>my cars. Remember that.

787
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:31.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so cars or.

788
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Her family, Well, it interchanges. So it's John Doe, but

789
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.119
<v Speaker 1>my son's my son's name is his. His truck's name

790
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:43.079
<v Speaker 1>is Roscoe. Uh, Liz's Liz's uh Ford Bronco is Caroline,

791
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:47.280
<v Speaker 1>uh uh, Torries is Izzy. She has a Ford focus.

792
00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:50.559
<v Speaker 1>And then I think that's it, right, So oh, then

793
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:51.920
<v Speaker 1>we have one in the in the car and in

794
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the driveway. Fernando. Yeah, yeah, the red one. Okay. So anyway,

795
00:36:57.719 --> 00:37:01.000
<v Speaker 1>so Tom just bought Judy a car, and it is

796
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:03.679
<v Speaker 1>a jeep and it is a is a is a

797
00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:05.840
<v Speaker 1>cool looking thing. And I had to decide whether it

798
00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:07.760
<v Speaker 1>was male or female. I decided it was male. It's

799
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:10.039
<v Speaker 1>black on black, it's got a sun roof. I thought,

800
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.039
<v Speaker 1>it's got to be a slick name that like is

801
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.400
<v Speaker 1>like black, and it's like, it's a really cool name.

802
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:16.960
<v Speaker 1>But it can't be like too slick, and it's got

803
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:19.199
<v Speaker 1>to be sort of be compact. And so I decided

804
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:21.960
<v Speaker 1>that her car is named Nick.

805
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Nick.

806
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:25.199
<v Speaker 1>It's a good name. Now that could that could be

807
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:27.719
<v Speaker 1>short for Nicodemus, It could be short for Nicholas Cage,

808
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:31.400
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to call it. But but Nick Nick.

809
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Is you call it if you want full name. If

810
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:36.599
<v Speaker 2>I want full name, full name, what would you call Nick?

811
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like Nicholas Cage. Man, I kind of

812
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:39.559
<v Speaker 1>like it.

813
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No it doesn't.

814
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:46.119
<v Speaker 1>I just I just think it's cool. You know, Nicholas Cage.

815
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:49.280
<v Speaker 1>He's pretty cool, Nick Cage. But Nick Nick is your buddy.

816
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Nick is your pal, right, Nick wears sunglasses, right, and

817
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:54.960
<v Speaker 1>he's a guy you could depend on. And that's what

818
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:55.320
<v Speaker 1>it is.

819
00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:58.679
<v Speaker 2>So again, like you said, that was nothing about.

820
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:01.239
<v Speaker 1>Nothing nothing about nothing, but it is our time.

821
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.320
<v Speaker 2>But it was important. So if you're asking, so what

822
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:06.000
<v Speaker 2>am I supposed to do with my life?

823
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Right?

824
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:08.639
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people go, oh, I'm not a preacher,

825
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a singer, you know so, and God's going listen,

826
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:15.360
<v Speaker 2>this isn't complex. It's not like it's rocket science. Right.

827
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Your daughter just got engaged to a rocket scientist. She did, yes,

828
00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:20.440
<v Speaker 2>full on honest goodness, rockets.

829
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, his degree, he's literally a rocket scientist.

830
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Wow, you can have like smart grandbabies. Yes, finally, finally

831
00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:33.440
<v Speaker 2>I have yeah. Yeah. Anyways, God says it's not rocket science.

832
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:36.360
<v Speaker 2>He just goes, listen, do what's right. That's not complex.

833
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:41.199
<v Speaker 2>I told you what's right. Do the right thing, love mercy. Right,

834
00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:43.480
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of times people who focus their life

835
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.400
<v Speaker 2>living for the right thing tend to be really harsh

836
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:49.039
<v Speaker 2>towards people who don't do the right thing. Yes, right,

837
00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:51.920
<v Speaker 2>And so He's like, hey, you do the right thing,

838
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:53.719
<v Speaker 2>but you can also love mercy.

839
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Stop typing.

840
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:58.280
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to punish everybody all the time. Love

841
00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:02.519
<v Speaker 2>mercy and then walk humbling with your God. And this humility.

842
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:06.239
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says that God opposes the proud, but He

843
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:09.360
<v Speaker 2>gives grace in his favor to the humble, And so

844
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:11.840
<v Speaker 2>this is all God is asking. It's not rocket science.

845
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:15.719
<v Speaker 2>We can do those. All of the people listening can

846
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:17.880
<v Speaker 2>do those three things. And all three of those are

847
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:20.039
<v Speaker 2>a choice. That's right, All three of them are a choice.

848
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, hey, that sounds like a great place to end.

849
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.719
<v Speaker 1>That's certainly our time. We thank you for sticking with us,

850
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully we will see you tomorrow on the Bible.

851
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Guys. Wow,
