00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.260
 Welcome to the Willow Ridge Sermons Podcast, where you can listen to audio from our most

00:00:09.260 --> 00:00:10.360
 recent sermons and more.

00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:15.120
 Thanks for listening, and be sure to add this show to your library if you'd like to automatically

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:16.860
 receive new episodes each week.

00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:28.880
 Well, good morning.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:30.680
 Welcome.

00:00:31.060 --> 00:00:33.800
 Just extend that welcome that Berger just shared with us.

00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:38.220
 I'll be standing back there in the back at our table back there, so if you're a guest today

00:00:38.220 --> 00:00:42.540
 and have questions about Willow Ridge Church or just would like to introduce yourself, I'd

00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:43.160
 love to meet you.

00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:47.560
 So at the conclusion of the service, I'll be standing back there to greet you.

00:00:48.020 --> 00:00:52.780
 We're going to be looking at Proverbs chapter 4, verse 23 this morning, so if you want to

00:00:52.780 --> 00:00:58.080
 go ahead and turn to that passage, we'll be kind of right in that area this morning.

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:02.880
 Also, I want to state again what Berger had just said.

00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:07.740
 Pastor Joel and Pastor Bo are going to be up in Black Mountain this week, so pray for them

00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:12.980
 and the students, as well as be praying for the adults who are with them all this week for

00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:18.520
 their safety and just their time together doing what God has led us to do over the last several

00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:22.080
 years, and that is partner with Black Mountain Children's Home.

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.860
 And then also, you notice there's a card in the seat close to you.

00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:31.200
 It's our first session of discipleship studies that we have this coming school year.

00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:35.240
 We kind of run, follow the school, so we have four sessions.

00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:39.260
 This session, number one, another one in the fall, winter, and then two at the beginning

00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:40.000
 of next year.

00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:41.620
 Some wonderful studies.

00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:47.360
 What we try to do is look for some felt knee type studies, but we also look for the biblical

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:50.120
 studies, so there's plenty of options that you have there.

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:51.680
 Please register.

00:01:51.940 --> 00:01:55.660
 That just helps me know where I need to establish that class.

00:01:55.800 --> 00:02:00.360
 So, if you would register for those classes as we get close to them, I think you'll see

00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:04.300
 a lot of different interests there for you to partake and be a part of.

00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:10.440
 If you're new this week, or you've come a couple of weeks, we're in our series where we're trying

00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:17.620
 to understand how scripture can be misused, or how scripture sometimes is misinterpreted.

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:20.380
 So, that's what we are looking at this morning.

00:02:20.940 --> 00:02:28.060
 Proverbs 4, verse 23 says, keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs

00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:28.940
 of life.

00:02:29.260 --> 00:02:30.200
 Would you pray with me?

00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:36.400
 Father, we thank you so much for the journey that we've been on together as a church, trying

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:43.960
 to understand more your word, and how sometimes we quote it out of context, sometimes we misunderstand

00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:50.740
 it, but Lord, you're gracious to continue to teach us your word, and guiding us in understanding

00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:52.160
 it, and in its application.

00:02:52.540 --> 00:02:53.460
 So, Lord, we thank you.

00:02:53.880 --> 00:02:56.340
 I thank you for each person that's in this auditorium.

00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:03.080
 Lord, as your word is spoken, I pray that we just have ears to hear, and eyes to see what

00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:04.740
 it is that you desire for our lives.

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.700
 Lord, we thank you, and we ask this prayer in your name.

00:03:08.940 --> 00:03:09.220
 Amen.

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.420
 Got a couple of questions for you this morning to think about.

00:03:14.660 --> 00:03:18.020
 Are you an extrovert, or are you an introvert?

00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:23.300
 Are you one of those persons that the best place for you to be is in a room by yourself,

00:03:23.380 --> 00:03:29.320
 or with a close friend, or out in the woods, walking on a trail, or one of your best spots

00:03:29.320 --> 00:03:31.300
 is to be in a room filled with people?

00:03:32.300 --> 00:03:36.820
 Do you get your energy with a room that is crowded with people and all that's going on

00:03:36.820 --> 00:03:42.140
 in that room, or do you get your energy just walking on a path all by yourself, experiencing

00:03:42.140 --> 00:03:43.460
 what that path has?

00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:46.320
 All of us are wired differently, aren't we?

00:03:47.100 --> 00:03:54.880
 God has created us to be very unique, but there's some times in our life where relationships

00:03:54.880 --> 00:03:56.120
 are going to happen.

00:03:56.320 --> 00:03:57.360
 They have to happen.

00:03:58.360 --> 00:03:59.420
 True or false?

00:04:00.420 --> 00:04:04.860
 You don't have to answer this out loud, but relationships are messy.

00:04:06.980 --> 00:04:08.120
 Relationships are messy.

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.060
 All of a sudden, a person has just jumped into your mind.

00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:13.560
 I apologize for that.

00:04:15.100 --> 00:04:20.700
 The video may be playing in your mind of what the situation is, what the person or who that

00:04:20.700 --> 00:04:24.680
 person is, but relationships can be messy.

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:28.300
 You take any relationship for that matter.

00:04:29.200 --> 00:04:34.260
 A marriage relationship, your relationship that you have with your children, maybe the relationship

00:04:34.260 --> 00:04:38.560
 that you have with your grown parents, maybe the relationship that you have with your

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:44.840
 siblings, whether that be young, or whether that be old in my case, the relationship that

00:04:44.840 --> 00:04:47.920
 you could have with neighbors, friends, co-workers.

00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:50.720
 That's a lot of relationships, isn't it?

00:04:51.940 --> 00:04:54.300
 There's bound to be some messy in there somewhere.

00:04:55.400 --> 00:04:57.140
 And sometimes it's a lot of messy.

00:04:59.380 --> 00:05:01.100
 Sometimes it's emotionally draining.

00:05:01.340 --> 00:05:02.420
 Sometimes it's challenging.

00:05:02.760 --> 00:05:03.940
 Sometimes there's confrontation.

00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:06.380
 But you get the idea.

00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:11.120
 But God has created you and I to be in relationships, right?

00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:16.180
 We see that in Genesis in the first three chapters where he creates life.

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.580
 And he creates life to be in relationship with one another.

00:05:20.660 --> 00:05:23.300
 And he creates life to be in relationship with him.

00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:25.080
 God is a God of relationships.

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:28.260
 And he desires for you and I to be in those relationships.

00:05:29.100 --> 00:05:34.580
 The Bible overflows with descriptions of relationships and stories about relationships.

00:05:34.580 --> 00:05:41.360
 One of my favorite is in Samuel, 1 and 2 Samuel, the relationship that David and Jonathan have

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:41.820
 together.

00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:43.480
 It's a beautiful story.

00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:45.120
 I would encourage you to go read it.

00:05:45.900 --> 00:05:50.360
 God's word is filled with insight on how to navigate relationships.

00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:52.040
 But they're messy.

00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.340
 And there's nothing wrong with messy until it moves to unhealthy.

00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.260
 Proverbs is a guidebook on how to navigate the messy in relationships.

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.080
 It's wisdom on how to manage relationships as a whole.

00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:12.320
 Before we examine our verse for this morning, I just wanted to go back and kind of share some

00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:13.320
 thoughts on Proverbs.

00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:18.560
 Because if you've never read Proverbs, maybe it's a little daunting for you.

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.720
 Or maybe it's kind of like, ah, the Proverbs is one of my favorite books of the Bible.

00:06:24.140 --> 00:06:29.600
 Proverbs is where I find my, one of my favorite verses, Proverbs 3, 5, and 6.

00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:37.160
 Proverbs is where we see a lot of what God had done through Solomon's life.

00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:41.840
 A couple of weeks ago when I talked about the verse in 2 Chronicles, it was Solomon having

00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:43.120
 a conversation with God.

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:47.940
 And as you continue to read through the Old Testament of Solomon's life, you just see

00:06:47.940 --> 00:06:49.080
 it continue to play out.

00:06:49.540 --> 00:06:55.300
 Solomon asked God for not riches, but Solomon asked God for wisdom to guide and govern his

00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:55.660
 people.

00:06:57.200 --> 00:07:02.860
 And so you and I then get to see the wisdom books in Scripture, and we get to see God respond

00:07:02.860 --> 00:07:04.580
 through Solomon in that.

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.560
 Biblical wisdom is this.

00:07:09.320 --> 00:07:13.240
 Wisdom is the ability to make godly choices in life.

00:07:14.020 --> 00:07:17.620
 So I'm not talking about earthly wisdom, the wisdom that you and I just kind of gained

00:07:17.620 --> 00:07:21.940
 through life, but I'm talking about biblical wisdom, wisdom that God gives us.

00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.960
 Fee and Stewart write in their book, How to Read the Bible for All It's Worth, one of the

00:07:28.960 --> 00:07:34.720
 books that we've taught in one of our discipleship studies, and probably will come back around

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:40.700
 again, says this, Hebrew wisdom is a category of literature that is unfamiliar to most modern

00:07:40.700 --> 00:07:41.220
 Christians.

00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.640
 Though a significant portion of the Bible is devoted to wisdom writings, Christians sometimes

00:07:46.640 --> 00:07:52.400
 either misunderstand or misapply this material, losing benefits that God intended for them.

00:07:53.460 --> 00:07:58.040
 When properly understood and used, however, wisdom is a helpful resource for Christian living.

00:07:59.100 --> 00:08:06.080
 When misused, it can provide a basis for selfish, materialistic, short-sighted behavior, just

00:08:06.080 --> 00:08:07.620
 the opposite of what God intended.

00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:12.600
 Then Ray Orthlin says in his commentary on Proverbs,

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.320
 Through the book of Proverbs, God coaches us in the wisdom we need throughout the long

00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:21.300
 and complicated path of everyday lives.

00:08:22.440 --> 00:08:27.800
 You see, the first seven verses in Proverbs gives you and I the theme of that entire book

00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:28.480
 of the Bible.

00:08:29.320 --> 00:08:33.700
 This helps you and I as readers to gain the context for the whole book of the Bible.

00:08:34.560 --> 00:08:39.680
 If you want to just flip over to chapter one of Proverbs, the first seven verses, this is

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:40.460
 what we read there.

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:49.440
 The Proverbs of Solomon, who was the king who asked God for wisdom, the son of David, king

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:56.080
 of Israel, to know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction

00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:02.340
 in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity, to give prudence to the simple knowledge

00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:08.260
 and discretion to the youth, let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who

00:09:08.260 --> 00:09:14.100
 understands obtain guidance, to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise

00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:14.880
 and their riddles.

00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.840
 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.

00:09:18.780 --> 00:09:21.200
 Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:27.360
 So right there, Solomon sets up for you and I what will happen through the rest of the book

00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.520
 of Proverbs, 31 chapters in all.

00:09:30.520 --> 00:09:35.320
 If you're looking for a reading plan of scripture to spend some time in personal devotion and

00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.400
 reading of God's word, I would encourage you to take the book of Proverbs and read it one

00:09:39.400 --> 00:09:40.660
 day for an entire month.

00:09:41.540 --> 00:09:43.740
 So if you're in a month of 30 days, you've got to double up.

00:09:44.500 --> 00:09:46.640
 But it fits perfectly for those months for 31.

00:09:47.540 --> 00:09:53.300
 And you will discover what God intends for you and I to know, the wisdom that God intends

00:09:53.300 --> 00:09:59.620
 for you and I to gain in our life as we walk through this life, as we experience relationships

00:09:59.620 --> 00:10:00.580
 along the way.

00:10:00.580 --> 00:10:06.660
 The first seven chapters in Proverbs are from the viewpoint of a father and a mother who

00:10:06.660 --> 00:10:08.700
 are sharing words of wisdom to their son.

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:15.320
 You see that phrase, my son, over and over again in these first seven chapters.

00:10:16.180 --> 00:10:18.540
 And this is where we find our verse for the day.

00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:26.140
 You see on the screen here in a second behind me, I wanted to use four different translations

00:10:26.140 --> 00:10:27.320
 of this verse.

00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:32.900
 Because within these four different translations, we just get to see the understanding a little

00:10:32.900 --> 00:10:33.300
 better.

00:10:33.540 --> 00:10:36.680
 We get to see how the words come alive for this verse.

00:10:36.780 --> 00:10:42.600
 In the ESV that I read just a little bit ago, keep your heart with all vigilance, for from

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.540
 it flows the springs of life.

00:10:45.280 --> 00:10:52.820
 Then in the NASB, watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of

00:10:52.820 --> 00:10:53.200
 life.

00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:59.980
 And then in the NIV, above all else, guard your heart for everything you do flows from it.

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:08.460
 And then in the NLT, guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your

00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:08.840
 life.

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.300
 So how does this verse get misused then?

00:11:14.020 --> 00:11:15.600
 It looks pretty simple, right?

00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:19.420
 Very much we get what we see.

00:11:22.160 --> 00:11:28.500
 Let's say I'm uncomfortable about sharing anything that reveals who I am, my past, my present.

00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:33.020
 I keep all my relationships at a surface level.

00:11:33.560 --> 00:11:37.660
 I talk about the weather, I talk about what I eat, which I do enjoy talking about what I

00:11:37.660 --> 00:11:37.860
 eat.

00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:43.040
 I talk about the things in life that just kind of seem right there.

00:11:44.780 --> 00:11:50.980
 But I never have those conversations that really go down deep, what I'm struggling with.

00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:56.360
 Maybe how my relationships are going, whether they're messy or not.

00:11:57.300 --> 00:12:00.480
 I just want to keep things at the surface level.

00:12:01.460 --> 00:12:05.540
 And when I do get close to somebody, I start to pull back.

00:12:06.900 --> 00:12:12.880
 I start to find reasons for why I can't spend time with that person or that small group of

00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:13.180
 people.

00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:16.420
 This is where that verse comes in.

00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:21.920
 Because I might say to you or I might say to the group of people, I might say to them,

00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:27.060
 I can't meet anymore or I can't spend time anymore because I need to guard my heart.

00:12:29.400 --> 00:12:31.400
 I need to keep myself at a distance.

00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:39.760
 So what I've done is I've taken God's word and I've made it an excuse for why I can't engage

00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:41.980
 in relationships that God has created.

00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:48.700
 There's one thing that I have learned about relationships in those moments where I prejudge

00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:55.080
 a person before I ever know their name is that God usually shows me that I was wrong.

00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:02.480
 That God usually shows me how much I would have missed out if I didn't extend that relationship

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.300
 days and months and years down the road.

00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:14.220
 You see, when we use scripture as an excuse for why we will not engage in relationships,

00:13:15.140 --> 00:13:20.980
 we miss out on what God would intend for us to gain within those relationships.

00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:27.740
 So it's important for you and I to make sure that we never use God's word as an excuse.

00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:33.300
 To really get to know what God's word desires for us to know.

00:13:34.520 --> 00:13:38.420
 You see, we don't want to have a sign on our life that basically says,

00:13:38.620 --> 00:13:40.760
 no one allowed past this point.

00:13:42.260 --> 00:13:46.120
 Parents, do you ever see a sign like that on your child's door?

00:13:46.220 --> 00:13:48.900
 I think I'm back in the day, I think I even had that on my door.

00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:54.640
 It was a nice little red sign and I could take the plate off and put a different saying on there

00:13:54.640 --> 00:13:57.300
 and I think one of them said, do not go beyond this point.

00:13:58.880 --> 00:14:01.100
 And sometimes in life, you and I do the same thing.

00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:03.520
 Now I get it.

00:14:04.520 --> 00:14:07.420
 I understand why people can have their guard up.

00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.260
 There's times in my life where I've had my guard up.

00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.460
 People in our lives can go beyond messy and straight to mean.

00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:17.580
 They're just mean-spirited.

00:14:18.260 --> 00:14:21.940
 Or as I mentioned in Proverbs, they're foolish and they're evil.

00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:27.020
 If you've ever been hurt by one or several people in your relationship,

00:14:27.340 --> 00:14:32.160
 you've kind of built that system or that mechanism that you think is protecting you

00:14:32.160 --> 00:14:35.280
 and chances are may be protecting you in certain relationships.

00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.000
 You're in that protection mode for safety reasons.

00:14:39.280 --> 00:14:40.980
 And there is nothing wrong with that.

00:14:41.640 --> 00:14:42.760
 Nothing wrong with that.

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:49.960
 Because there can be people in your life that you need to protect yourself from for all kinds of reasons.

00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:56.920
 You and I just have to be careful not to make Scripture a place for finding excuses for our lives

00:14:56.920 --> 00:15:01.760
 when God wants to take us further into the relationships that He desires for our life.

00:15:03.040 --> 00:15:07.100
 One of the beauty that I get to hear as being kind of over adult ministry

00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:11.380
 is hearing stories of people who have engaged in small groups.

00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:16.400
 Especially when they say, you know, I really didn't want to go to a small group, you know.

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:18.160
 I'm fine being me.

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.020
 I don't need to really share what's going on in my life

00:15:22.020 --> 00:15:24.840
 and I don't really need to get to know anybody else.

00:15:26.420 --> 00:15:30.140
 I love it when I hear that story say, you know what, I wish I would have done this sooner.

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.980
 I wish I would have engaged in a small group a whole lot sooner

00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:39.660
 because my life has been enriched by their journey with the Lord

00:15:39.660 --> 00:15:44.320
 for what I have heard and heard from them in their experience.

00:15:46.380 --> 00:15:48.140
 You and I need relationships.

00:15:49.020 --> 00:15:52.040
 God has formed us to be in those relationships with others.

00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.740
 You will find the picture of what to do in relationships

00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:59.360
 and what not to do in relationships in God's Word.

00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:00.340
 It's there.

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:02.940
 A lot of times we just don't know

00:16:02.940 --> 00:16:05.000
 because we haven't taken the time to dive in

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:06.240
 and to read and to study

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:10.140
 and just soak up our lives in God's Word.

00:16:12.400 --> 00:16:14.340
 Keep your heart with all vigilance

00:16:14.340 --> 00:16:16.680
 for from it flow the springs of life.

00:16:16.680 --> 00:16:20.180
 So how should this verse be understood for you and I?

00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.840
 It's not talking about a way to get out of relationships.

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.080
 As good as that might sound at times,

00:16:27.260 --> 00:16:30.220
 it's not talking about how to keep people at a distance.

00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.340
 And letting them into our life.

00:16:34.180 --> 00:16:36.360
 But it is talking about the necessity

00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:40.260
 of protecting yourself from the foolishness of this world

00:16:40.260 --> 00:16:41.980
 and the evils of this world.

00:16:42.140 --> 00:16:45.280
 If you'll take time and to read all through Proverbs,

00:16:45.420 --> 00:16:47.640
 you're going to see those words,

00:16:47.760 --> 00:16:50.160
 those concepts of foolishness and evil.

00:16:51.520 --> 00:16:55.380
 And the intent here is for you and I to guard ourselves

00:16:55.380 --> 00:16:56.920
 from the things of this world.

00:16:59.040 --> 00:17:01.940
 Proverbs is also encouraging you and I

00:17:01.940 --> 00:17:05.880
 to choose the wise way which God intends for us to go.

00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.880
 You see, wise living has benefits

00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.880
 and foolish living has temporary satisfaction

00:17:12.520 --> 00:17:14.340
 but certain defeating outcomes.

00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:18.300
 Listen to some of these Proverbs.

00:17:19.340 --> 00:17:20.980
 Proverbs 3.35 says,

00:17:21.100 --> 00:17:22.520
 The wise will inherit honor,

00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:24.560
 but fools get disgrace.

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:27.360
 Proverbs 12.15 says,

00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:29.760
 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,

00:17:30.300 --> 00:17:32.580
 but a wise man listens to advice.

00:17:33.700 --> 00:17:35.000
 Proverbs 13.20,

00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:37.620
 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.980
 but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

00:17:42.420 --> 00:17:44.440
 And then Proverbs 14.16,

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:47.540
 One who is wise is cautious

00:17:47.540 --> 00:17:49.460
 and turns away from evil,

00:17:50.060 --> 00:17:52.620
 but a fool is reckless and careless.

00:17:53.740 --> 00:17:57.180
 So here's what we gain from Proverbs 4.23.

00:17:58.620 --> 00:18:00.800
 Protect your heart by standing guard.

00:18:02.260 --> 00:18:04.580
 Protect your heart by standing guard.

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:06.960
 It says in this verse,

00:18:07.100 --> 00:18:07.680
 Keep your heart.

00:18:08.780 --> 00:18:09.620
 Guard your heart.

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.680
 There used to be this slogan by athletic wearer,

00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:15.240
 Under Armour,

00:18:15.280 --> 00:18:16.580
 you may be familiar with it,

00:18:16.620 --> 00:18:18.480
 especially if you like college sports.

00:18:19.800 --> 00:18:20.720
 The same was,

00:18:20.840 --> 00:18:21.700
 Protect this house.

00:18:23.320 --> 00:18:26.500
 It was plastered all over stadiums and arenas.

00:18:26.500 --> 00:18:28.780
 It was a reminder to those athletes

00:18:28.780 --> 00:18:32.000
 that when an opposing team comes into our stadium

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:32.940
 or into our arena,

00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:35.180
 we're going to do all that we can do

00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:36.920
 to make sure we win.

00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.140
 We're going to play to the best of our abilities.

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.120
 And if we can get even more than 100%,

00:18:43.120 --> 00:18:44.820
 we're going to try our best to do that.

00:18:46.760 --> 00:18:48.600
 My wife and I love watching

00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:50.300
 women's college basketball

00:18:50.300 --> 00:18:53.200
 just because of what Carolina has done

00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.240
 over the last several years in that area.

00:18:56.060 --> 00:18:58.000
 I love Carolina football as well.

00:18:59.020 --> 00:19:00.560
 But if you're a Carolina fan,

00:19:00.620 --> 00:19:02.400
 you know what's in my mind at this moment.

00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.760
 But the women went for 71 games straight,

00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:10.000
 not losing a home game.

00:19:11.380 --> 00:19:12.240
 That's amazing.

00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:15.620
 And then this team that we don't like talking about,

00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:16.220
 UConn,

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:17.660
 came in and messed that all up.

00:19:19.660 --> 00:19:22.340
 But the idea of protecting the house

00:19:22.340 --> 00:19:23.680
 is the idea of you and I

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.440
 standing guard and protecting our heart.

00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:31.400
 Do whatever it takes for you and I to do that.

00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:32.900
 You see,

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:34.400
 when we look back at those verses,

00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:36.860
 there are words that show up

00:19:36.860 --> 00:19:38.360
 that we read in those translations.

00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:39.020
 Keep,

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:39.560
 watch,

00:19:39.800 --> 00:19:40.160
 guard.

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:43.660
 You are protecting who you are in Jesus Christ.

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:45.560
 That's who you're protecting.

00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:48.140
 You're not protecting your image,

00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:52.540
 but you're protecting the image of Jesus Christ in you.

00:19:53.180 --> 00:19:54.460
 How God has created you

00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:56.000
 and how God has formed you.

00:19:56.340 --> 00:19:57.780
 That is what you're protecting.

00:19:58.780 --> 00:20:01.540
 You're protecting yourself from someone,

00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:03.620
 some habits,

00:20:04.540 --> 00:20:06.660
 or something in your life

00:20:06.660 --> 00:20:09.080
 that a scripture can talk about

00:20:09.080 --> 00:20:09.960
 will take root.

00:20:11.300 --> 00:20:13.040
 And when something takes root in your life

00:20:13.040 --> 00:20:14.160
 that is opposite of God,

00:20:14.260 --> 00:20:15.320
 that's not a good thing.

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:17.740
 When I read the words,

00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:18.120
 keep,

00:20:18.260 --> 00:20:18.520
 watch,

00:20:18.540 --> 00:20:18.960
 and guard,

00:20:19.020 --> 00:20:19.740
 I think about

00:20:19.740 --> 00:20:22.100
 the idea of watchmen

00:20:22.100 --> 00:20:23.240
 that appear in the Bible.

00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:26.660
 Some were on the walls of cities

00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:28.760
 as lookouts for surprise enemy attacks.

00:20:30.700 --> 00:20:32.080
 God appointed prophets

00:20:32.080 --> 00:20:33.240
 as spiritual watchmen

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.540
 over the souls of his people.

00:20:34.660 --> 00:20:36.180
 In Ezekiel 33, 7,

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:36.560
 he said,

00:20:37.100 --> 00:20:37.740
 Son of man,

00:20:37.840 --> 00:20:39.420
 I have made you a watchman

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:40.520
 for the people of Israel.

00:20:41.300 --> 00:20:42.740
 So hear the word I speak

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:44.560
 and give them warning from me.

00:20:45.780 --> 00:20:46.020
 You see,

00:20:46.080 --> 00:20:47.540
 the prophet's job as a watchman

00:20:47.540 --> 00:20:48.800
 was to urge God's people

00:20:48.800 --> 00:20:49.920
 to live faithfully

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:51.660
 and warn them

00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:52.780
 of the perils involved

00:20:52.780 --> 00:20:53.820
 in falling away

00:20:53.820 --> 00:20:54.960
 from the Lord

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:55.660
 and doing evil.

00:20:56.700 --> 00:20:57.400
 As watchmen,

00:20:57.460 --> 00:20:58.820
 the prophets were also called

00:20:58.820 --> 00:21:00.240
 to warn wicked people

00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.240
 of the judgment and destruction

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:03.560
 that would come their way

00:21:03.560 --> 00:21:04.620
 unless they turned

00:21:04.620 --> 00:21:05.620
 from their evil ways.

00:21:07.020 --> 00:21:08.580
 With everything in you,

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:09.880
 with everything in me,

00:21:10.520 --> 00:21:11.600
 watch over your heart.

00:21:13.120 --> 00:21:14.640
 And then we see in this verse

00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:15.340
 this phrase,

00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:16.640
 with all vigilance.

00:21:17.380 --> 00:21:18.640
 With all vigilance.

00:21:18.800 --> 00:21:19.740
 Protect your heart

00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:21.620
 by being on the ready.

00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:23.720
 Protect your heart

00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:25.340
 by being on the ready.

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:28.180
 A watchman is ineffective

00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:29.800
 if he or she is sleeping

00:21:29.800 --> 00:21:30.400
 at the wall.

00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:33.180
 A watchman is ineffective

00:21:33.180 --> 00:21:34.540
 if he or she,

00:21:35.300 --> 00:21:36.580
 their skills of protecting

00:21:36.580 --> 00:21:37.240
 and defending,

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:37.980
 are rusty.

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:41.020
 You can't stand back

00:21:41.020 --> 00:21:41.920
 and hope for the best

00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:43.460
 if you're a watchman

00:21:43.460 --> 00:21:43.980
 on the wall.

00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:46.000
 You could,

00:21:46.380 --> 00:21:46.960
 but that's not going

00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:47.860
 to go well for you

00:21:47.860 --> 00:21:48.960
 and it's not going

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:49.460
 to go well

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:50.700
 for those you're protecting.

00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:52.360
 When the things

00:21:52.360 --> 00:21:53.460
 in this life come

00:21:53.460 --> 00:21:55.200
 that are not of God,

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:56.620
 you have to know

00:21:56.620 --> 00:21:57.820
 how to recognize them

00:21:57.820 --> 00:21:59.840
 and know how to respond.

00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:02.960
 Listen to the words

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:03.660
 that are used

00:22:03.660 --> 00:22:05.940
 in this part of the verse

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:06.760
 from those verses.

00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:07.660
 Vigilance

00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:08.960
 is the action

00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:09.380
 or state

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:10.740
 of keeping careful watch

00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:12.400
 for possible danger

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.620
 or difficulties.

00:22:14.600 --> 00:22:15.120
 Diligence,

00:22:16.120 --> 00:22:17.100
 careful and persistent

00:22:17.100 --> 00:22:18.460
 work or effort.

00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:21.640
 Above all else,

00:22:22.580 --> 00:22:23.680
 it's got to be top priority.

00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:26.740
 It's got to be top priority.

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:28.680
 You see,

00:22:28.760 --> 00:22:29.720
 this is what vigilance

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:30.860
 looks like in your life

00:22:30.860 --> 00:22:31.740
 and what it looks like

00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:32.440
 in my life.

00:22:33.800 --> 00:22:34.720
 Vigilance is walking

00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:35.920
 with God every day.

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.920
 It's reading the Bible.

00:22:38.360 --> 00:22:39.140
 It's obeying

00:22:39.140 --> 00:22:40.260
 and applying the Bible.

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:41.400
 It's praying to God.

00:22:41.500 --> 00:22:42.560
 It's those conversations

00:22:42.560 --> 00:22:43.900
 we have with God

00:22:43.900 --> 00:22:44.940
 on a regular basis.

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:47.460
 It's confessing sin.

00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:49.680
 It's evaluating your life

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:50.600
 against the Bible

00:22:50.600 --> 00:22:52.560
 and then it's a repeat.

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:54.580
 It's all those things

00:22:54.580 --> 00:22:55.840
 over and over

00:22:55.840 --> 00:22:57.040
 and over again.

00:22:57.800 --> 00:22:58.920
 That's being vigilant

00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:00.380
 and guarding

00:23:00.380 --> 00:23:01.600
 and protecting your heart

00:23:01.600 --> 00:23:03.480
 from this world

00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:04.820
 and the foolishest things

00:23:04.820 --> 00:23:06.420
 that we run into.

00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:08.640
 Walking with God

00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:09.940
 puts you in ready.

00:23:11.620 --> 00:23:12.740
 So what's at stake?

00:23:13.520 --> 00:23:14.280
 What's at stake

00:23:14.280 --> 00:23:15.720
 is the makeup of your heart.

00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:18.920
 The ending of that verse says

00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:19.840
 for from it flow

00:23:19.840 --> 00:23:20.860
 the springs

00:23:20.860 --> 00:23:22.500
 of life.

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:25.480
 What would happen

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:26.960
 if you and I

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:27.560
 went into

00:23:27.560 --> 00:23:29.640
 and had an open heart surgery?

00:23:29.860 --> 00:23:30.680
 Not because we were

00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:31.200
 physically

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:33.060
 having an issue

00:23:33.060 --> 00:23:35.640
 but someone wanted to know

00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:36.340
 what was happening

00:23:36.340 --> 00:23:37.000
 in our life,

00:23:37.080 --> 00:23:37.360
 happening

00:23:37.360 --> 00:23:38.980
 in who we are.

00:23:40.260 --> 00:23:41.240
 What springs

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:41.900
 would be flowing

00:23:41.900 --> 00:23:42.720
 from your life?

00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:44.660
 Life-giving springs

00:23:44.660 --> 00:23:46.760
 or polluted

00:23:46.760 --> 00:23:47.720
 and tainted springs?

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:51.580
 Bonnerhoff says

00:23:51.580 --> 00:23:52.340
 in the book

00:23:52.340 --> 00:23:53.100
 we've gotten

00:23:53.100 --> 00:23:54.260
 these scriptures from

00:23:54.260 --> 00:23:55.380
 to teach this series

00:23:55.380 --> 00:23:55.960
 in the summer,

00:23:56.600 --> 00:23:57.020
 he says,

00:23:57.120 --> 00:23:57.980
 in Jewish literature

00:23:57.980 --> 00:23:59.080
 the word for heart

00:23:59.080 --> 00:24:01.560
 is an all-encompassing term

00:24:01.560 --> 00:24:02.340
 that includes

00:24:02.340 --> 00:24:02.940
 the mind,

00:24:03.580 --> 00:24:04.160
 the emotions,

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:05.140
 and the will.

00:24:05.140 --> 00:24:07.040
 It is the center

00:24:07.040 --> 00:24:08.020
 of one's being

00:24:08.020 --> 00:24:08.800
 and the source

00:24:08.800 --> 00:24:09.280
 from which

00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:10.100
 all actions

00:24:10.100 --> 00:24:10.900
 come.

00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:13.960
 God has placed

00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:14.820
 a lot of interest

00:24:14.820 --> 00:24:15.520
 in our heart.

00:24:17.040 --> 00:24:18.560
 God looks at our heart

00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:20.660
 to know who we are.

00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:23.420
 The heart is who you are

00:24:23.420 --> 00:24:24.920
 and from it flows your life.

00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.420
 From it flows

00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:27.360
 what God is doing.

00:24:28.320 --> 00:24:29.020
 And as a follower

00:24:29.020 --> 00:24:29.820
 of Jesus Christ

00:24:29.820 --> 00:24:30.640
 what should flow

00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:31.760
 is the very character

00:24:31.760 --> 00:24:33.620
 of Jesus Christ himself.

00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:37.460
 In Matthew chapter 12

00:24:37.460 --> 00:24:38.320
 verse 34

00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:41.280
 Jesus was saying

00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:42.420
 of the Pharisees

00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:43.620
 or said to the Pharisees

00:24:43.620 --> 00:24:43.960
 he said,

00:24:44.100 --> 00:24:45.380
 you broad of vipers

00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:47.720
 how can you speak good

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:49.460
 when you are evil?

00:24:50.540 --> 00:24:51.900
 For out of the abundance

00:24:51.900 --> 00:24:52.900
 of the heart

00:24:52.900 --> 00:24:53.920
 the mouth speaks.

00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:56.320
 So what is in our heart

00:24:56.320 --> 00:24:57.500
 comes forth

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:58.320
 from our lips.

00:24:59.980 --> 00:25:01.280
 You can't be passive

00:25:01.280 --> 00:25:02.180
 when it comes

00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:02.720
 to your heart.

00:25:03.620 --> 00:25:04.820
 You can't be okay

00:25:04.820 --> 00:25:06.160
 with the social norms.

00:25:07.120 --> 00:25:07.840
 If you and I

00:25:07.840 --> 00:25:08.940
 are going to protect it

00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:09.480
 if you and I

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:10.460
 are going to guard it

00:25:10.460 --> 00:25:11.180
 if you and I

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:12.840
 are going to stand ready

00:25:12.840 --> 00:25:15.000
 that may mean

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:15.600
 some difficult

00:25:15.600 --> 00:25:16.580
 conversations

00:25:16.580 --> 00:25:17.440
 that may mean

00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.600
 some difficult decisions.

00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:20.760
 It may mean

00:25:20.760 --> 00:25:21.240
 that you quit

00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:21.780
 hanging out

00:25:21.780 --> 00:25:22.680
 with a certain person.

00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:25.620
 Students

00:25:25.620 --> 00:25:26.240
 you might think

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:26.800
 that might be

00:25:26.800 --> 00:25:27.540
 addressed to you

00:25:27.540 --> 00:25:29.060
 but I hate to say it

00:25:29.060 --> 00:25:29.920
 even as we get

00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:30.640
 older in life

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:31.220
 there's people

00:25:31.220 --> 00:25:32.300
 sometimes we just

00:25:32.300 --> 00:25:33.380
 don't need to

00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:34.160
 spend time with.

00:25:35.020 --> 00:25:36.220
 We can be a godly

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:37.240
 example to them

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:40.300
 but if so much

00:25:40.300 --> 00:25:41.760
 time spent with them

00:25:41.760 --> 00:25:42.820
 affects who we are

00:25:42.820 --> 00:25:43.340
 in Christ

00:25:43.340 --> 00:25:44.900
 it's time to limit

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:45.920
 the time we spend

00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:46.280
 with them.

00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:48.280
 That may mean

00:25:48.280 --> 00:25:49.100
 you quit listening

00:25:49.100 --> 00:25:50.160
 to certain individuals

00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:51.140
 who want to speak

00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:51.860
 into your life

00:25:51.860 --> 00:25:53.040
 because they're not

00:25:53.040 --> 00:25:53.920
 speaking the things

00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:54.360
 of God.

00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:56.640
 they're speaking

00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:57.080
 the things

00:25:57.080 --> 00:25:57.680
 of the world

00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:59.560
 they're not

00:25:59.560 --> 00:26:00.260
 speaking the things

00:26:00.260 --> 00:26:00.680
 of God.

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:02.960
 You might need

00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:03.340
 to get off

00:26:03.340 --> 00:26:04.060
 social media

00:26:04.060 --> 00:26:05.340
 that might be

00:26:05.340 --> 00:26:06.020
 hard for some

00:26:06.020 --> 00:26:06.420
 of you

00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:09.140
 but if it's

00:26:09.140 --> 00:26:09.760
 things that are

00:26:09.760 --> 00:26:10.680
 filling your mind

00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:11.620
 filling your heart

00:26:11.620 --> 00:26:12.520
 and maybe the things

00:26:12.520 --> 00:26:13.220
 that God doesn't

00:26:13.220 --> 00:26:13.680
 want there

00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:16.800
 you find

00:26:16.800 --> 00:26:17.960
 something new

00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:18.820
 and better for you

00:26:18.820 --> 00:26:19.620
 sometimes you might

00:26:19.620 --> 00:26:20.120
 need to find

00:26:20.120 --> 00:26:20.620
 something new

00:26:20.620 --> 00:26:21.220
 and better for you

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:21.700
 to watch

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:22.200
 on TV

00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:22.940
 or your phone

00:26:22.940 --> 00:26:25.220
 I know I've

00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:26.120
 watched shows

00:26:26.120 --> 00:26:26.800
 and I've watched

00:26:26.800 --> 00:26:27.260
 news

00:26:27.260 --> 00:26:27.700
 and I'm like

00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:28.420
 I can feel

00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:28.920
 the anger

00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:29.680
 in my heart

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.220
 and I can feel

00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:30.980
 it in my spirit

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:31.480
 and I can feel

00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:31.960
 it in my mind

00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:32.320
 and I'm like

00:26:32.320 --> 00:26:33.040
 why are you

00:26:33.040 --> 00:26:34.040
 still watching it?

00:26:35.520 --> 00:26:36.080
 Why are you

00:26:36.080 --> 00:26:36.420
 listening?

00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:39.740
 Because the spirit

00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:40.520
 of God in me

00:26:40.520 --> 00:26:41.000
 is going

00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:42.240
 no, no, no

00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:44.680
 so it might

00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:45.320
 be those things

00:26:45.320 --> 00:26:45.820
 that we need

00:26:45.820 --> 00:26:46.440
 to make changes

00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:46.700
 you see

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.280
 any time

00:26:47.280 --> 00:26:47.820
 that God

00:26:47.820 --> 00:26:48.200
 is doing

00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:48.600
 a work

00:26:48.600 --> 00:26:49.060
 in our life

00:26:49.060 --> 00:26:49.580
 and desires

00:26:49.580 --> 00:26:49.840
 to do

00:26:49.840 --> 00:26:50.160
 a work

00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:50.580
 in our life

00:26:50.580 --> 00:26:51.540
 it may mean

00:26:51.540 --> 00:26:51.760
 that we're

00:26:51.760 --> 00:26:52.060
 going to have

00:26:52.060 --> 00:26:52.340
 to make

00:26:52.340 --> 00:26:52.760
 a tough

00:26:52.760 --> 00:26:53.340
 decision

00:26:53.340 --> 00:26:54.560
 it may mean

00:26:54.560 --> 00:26:54.840
 that we're

00:26:54.840 --> 00:26:55.080
 going to make

00:26:55.080 --> 00:26:55.800
 a decision

00:26:55.800 --> 00:26:56.260
 in our life

00:26:56.260 --> 00:26:57.160
 that I'm

00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:58.200
 no longer

00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:58.760
 going to do

00:26:58.760 --> 00:26:59.400
 what I'm doing

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:00.260
 say what I'm

00:27:00.260 --> 00:27:00.700
 saying

00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:01.940
 think what I'm

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.260
 thinking

00:27:02.260 --> 00:27:05.540
 your heart

00:27:05.540 --> 00:27:06.080
 is to reflect

00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:06.760
 the person

00:27:06.760 --> 00:27:07.800
 and character

00:27:07.800 --> 00:27:08.260
 of Jesus

00:27:08.260 --> 00:27:08.780
 Christ

00:27:08.780 --> 00:27:11.360
 your heart

00:27:11.360 --> 00:27:11.940
 and my heart

00:27:11.940 --> 00:27:12.440
 is to reflect

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:13.680
 the person

00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:14.220
 and character

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:14.640
 of Jesus

00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:15.120
 Christ

00:27:15.120 --> 00:27:17.580
 so I want

00:27:17.580 --> 00:27:17.940
 to wrap

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:18.200
 it up

00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:18.720
 by looking

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:19.080
 at the

00:27:19.080 --> 00:27:19.640
 surrounding

00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:20.160
 verses

00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:22.560
 of verse

00:27:22.560 --> 00:27:23.120
 23

00:27:23.120 --> 00:27:25.280
 because

00:27:25.280 --> 00:27:26.340
 that's the

00:27:26.340 --> 00:27:26.960
 context

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:27.440
 and that's

00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:27.720
 one of the

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:28.280
 things we've

00:27:28.280 --> 00:27:28.740
 been talking

00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:29.220
 about through

00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:29.740
 this series

00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:30.680
 context

00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.340
 yes you can

00:27:32.340 --> 00:27:32.800
 look at this

00:27:32.800 --> 00:27:33.340
 one verse

00:27:33.340 --> 00:27:34.240
 and gain a lot

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:34.760
 from it

00:27:34.760 --> 00:27:35.940
 but when you

00:27:35.940 --> 00:27:36.440
 look at the

00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:37.100
 context

00:27:37.100 --> 00:27:38.800
 of what Solomon

00:27:38.800 --> 00:27:39.760
 is saying here

00:27:39.760 --> 00:27:40.560
 what he's sharing

00:27:40.560 --> 00:27:41.380
 with his son

00:27:41.380 --> 00:27:44.840
 again God's word

00:27:44.840 --> 00:27:45.700
 is always amazing

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:47.560
 it never

00:27:47.560 --> 00:27:48.480
 surprises me

00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:50.420
 it corrects me

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:52.040
 it guides me

00:27:52.040 --> 00:27:54.120
 it enlightens me

00:27:54.120 --> 00:27:55.980
 helps me know

00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:56.620
 when I'm wrong

00:27:56.620 --> 00:27:58.500
 and it helps me

00:27:58.500 --> 00:27:59.240
 know where I

00:27:59.240 --> 00:27:59.720
 need to be on

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:00.440
 track with God

00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.060
 so wrapping it up

00:28:03.060 --> 00:28:04.180
 center your life

00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:05.300
 on the word of God

00:28:05.300 --> 00:28:06.880
 center your life

00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:07.720
 on the word of God

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:09.720
 proverbs 4

00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:10.340
 verse 20

00:28:10.340 --> 00:28:10.780
 says

00:28:10.780 --> 00:28:11.620
 my son

00:28:11.620 --> 00:28:13.460
 be attentive

00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:15.840
 to my words

00:28:15.840 --> 00:28:17.200
 attentive

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:18.120
 listen

00:28:18.120 --> 00:28:19.400
 focus on me

00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:20.020
 you ever done that

00:28:20.020 --> 00:28:20.440
 to anybody

00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:21.160
 I need you to look

00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:21.560
 right here

00:28:21.560 --> 00:28:22.120
 right here

00:28:22.120 --> 00:28:24.920
 incline your ear

00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:26.900
 to my sayings

00:28:26.900 --> 00:28:29.660
 verse 21

00:28:29.660 --> 00:28:31.680
 let them

00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:32.600
 the words

00:28:32.600 --> 00:28:34.000
 not escape

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.940
 from your sight

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:37.380
 keep them

00:28:37.380 --> 00:28:38.160
 within your heart

00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:42.860
 I remember

00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:43.320
 several

00:28:43.320 --> 00:28:44.520
 different passages

00:28:44.520 --> 00:28:45.120
 I think

00:28:45.120 --> 00:28:45.340
 it's

00:28:45.340 --> 00:28:46.000
 forgive me

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:46.700
 it just ran

00:28:46.700 --> 00:28:47.160
 into my head

00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:47.520
 in the

00:28:47.520 --> 00:28:48.720
 in the Old Testament

00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:49.480
 where it talks

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:49.860
 about

00:28:49.860 --> 00:28:52.220
 they have

00:28:52.220 --> 00:28:53.160
 ears to hear

00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:54.220
 but do not hear

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:55.800
 eyes to see

00:28:55.800 --> 00:28:56.800
 but do not see

00:28:56.800 --> 00:28:58.360
 I don't want

00:28:58.360 --> 00:28:59.140
 to be that person

00:28:59.140 --> 00:29:01.940
 verse 22

00:29:01.940 --> 00:29:03.400
 for they

00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:04.240
 speaking of

00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:05.380
 words of God

00:29:05.380 --> 00:29:05.820
 they are

00:29:05.820 --> 00:29:06.560
 they are

00:29:06.560 --> 00:29:07.080
 life

00:29:07.080 --> 00:29:09.720
 God's word

00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:10.400
 gives you

00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:10.760
 and I

00:29:10.760 --> 00:29:11.540

00:29:14.020 --> 00:29:14.560
 who find

00:29:14.560 --> 00:29:14.860
 them

00:29:14.860 --> 00:29:15.980
 and get

00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:32.740
 says to his

00:29:44.540 --> 00:29:45.140
 again

00:29:45.140 --> 00:29:45.420
 if you

 read

00:29:45.860 --> 00:29:46.700
 throughout

00:29:52.800 --> 00:29:53.740
 vigilance

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:54.380

00:29:54.380 --> 00:29:54.800
 flow the

00:29:54.800 --> 00:29:55.240
 springs

 of life

00:29:55.940 --> 00:29:58.860
 third thing

00:29:58.860 --> 00:29:59.420

 people's

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:00.840
 ungodly

00:30:00.840 --> 00:30:01.280
 talk

00:30:01.280 --> 00:30:02.040
 get inside

00:30:02.040 --> 00:30:02.560
 your head

00:30:02.560 --> 00:30:04.080
 it can

00:30:04.080 --> 00:30:04.480
 happen

00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:06.880
 back in

00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:07.320
 college I

00:30:07.320 --> 00:30:07.620
 had a

00:30:07.620 --> 00:30:08.380
 close friend

00:30:08.380 --> 00:30:08.780
 man we

00:30:08.780 --> 00:30:09.160
 just we

00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:09.740
 spent all

00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:10.460
 time together

00:30:10.460 --> 00:30:11.460
 he was

00:30:11.460 --> 00:30:12.960
 the reason

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:14.400
 for after

00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:15.160
 football

00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:15.940
 continuing to

00:30:15.940 --> 00:30:16.420
 work out

00:30:16.420 --> 00:30:17.080
 during college

00:30:17.080 --> 00:30:17.900
 because he

00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:18.220
 and his

00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:19.140
 brothers I

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:19.480
 looked at

00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:20.000
 them physically

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:20.700
 and said I

00:30:20.700 --> 00:30:21.100
 want to look

00:30:21.100 --> 00:30:21.600
 like that

00:30:21.600 --> 00:30:22.960
 well I

00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:23.320
 didn't stay

00:30:23.320 --> 00:30:23.680
 that way

00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:24.240
 very long

00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:25.640
 but anyways

00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:26.880
 I remember

00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:27.620
 spending a

00:30:27.620 --> 00:30:28.440
 spring break

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:28.940
 with him

00:30:28.940 --> 00:30:29.840
 it was just

00:30:29.840 --> 00:30:30.440
 he and I

00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:31.460
 and I

00:30:31.460 --> 00:30:31.820
 remember

00:30:31.820 --> 00:30:32.280
 during that

00:30:32.280 --> 00:30:33.020
 entire week

00:30:33.020 --> 00:30:34.400
 my language

00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:35.180
 changed

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:36.480
 he would

00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:37.060
 always use

00:30:37.060 --> 00:30:37.340
 a few

00:30:37.340 --> 00:30:38.100
 choice words

00:30:38.100 --> 00:30:39.660
 and my

00:30:39.660 --> 00:30:40.720
 language changed

00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:41.400
 all through

00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:41.680
 the week

00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:42.660
 and as a

00:30:42.660 --> 00:30:43.040
 believer

00:30:43.040 --> 00:30:44.260
 even after I

00:30:44.260 --> 00:30:44.680
 would say

00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:45.120
 something out of

00:30:45.120 --> 00:30:45.540
 my own mouth

00:30:45.540 --> 00:30:46.580
 like dude

00:30:46.580 --> 00:30:47.320
 that is not

00:30:47.320 --> 00:30:48.360
 who you are

00:30:48.360 --> 00:30:50.220
 why are you

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:52.120
 allowing yourself

00:30:52.120 --> 00:30:53.260
 in the companionship

00:30:53.260 --> 00:30:53.880
 of a friend

00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:54.800
 that you love

00:30:54.800 --> 00:30:55.380
 and like

00:30:55.380 --> 00:30:56.500
 but even though

00:30:56.500 --> 00:30:57.100
 he's not

00:30:57.100 --> 00:30:57.780
 following the Lord

00:30:57.780 --> 00:30:58.900
 why would you

00:30:58.900 --> 00:30:59.720
 allow that

00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:00.440
 to happen

00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.640
 because I

00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:03.780
 placed myself

00:31:03.780 --> 00:31:04.400
 in that

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:05.180
 moment

00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:05.560
 in that

00:31:05.560 --> 00:31:06.220
 relationship

00:31:06.220 --> 00:31:08.460
 and allowed

00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:09.280
 that ungodly

00:31:09.280 --> 00:31:09.600
 talk

00:31:09.600 --> 00:31:09.880
 to get

00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:10.200
 inside

00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:10.720
 my head

00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:13.380
 verse 24

00:31:13.380 --> 00:31:13.900
 says

00:31:13.900 --> 00:31:14.520
 put away

00:31:14.520 --> 00:31:15.000
 from you

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:15.380
 crooked

00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:15.940
 speech

00:31:15.940 --> 00:31:17.480
 and put

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:17.940
 devious

00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:18.380
 talk

00:31:18.380 --> 00:31:18.840
 far

00:31:18.840 --> 00:31:19.580
 from you

00:31:19.580 --> 00:31:21.360
 there's

00:31:21.360 --> 00:31:21.520
 that

00:31:21.520 --> 00:31:21.980
 barrier

00:31:21.980 --> 00:31:22.360
 there's

00:31:22.360 --> 00:31:22.500
 that

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:23.000
 protection

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:23.360
 there's

00:31:23.360 --> 00:31:23.520
 that

00:31:23.520 --> 00:31:23.920
 pushing

00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:24.280
 off

00:31:24.280 --> 00:31:27.260
 and then

00:31:27.260 --> 00:31:27.680
 finally

00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:29.380
 keep your

00:31:29.380 --> 00:31:29.900
 eyes

00:31:29.900 --> 00:31:30.580
 and your

00:31:30.580 --> 00:31:30.900
 feet

00:31:30.900 --> 00:31:31.380
 down the

00:31:31.380 --> 00:31:31.820
 path

00:31:31.820 --> 00:31:32.980
 that goes

00:31:32.980 --> 00:31:34.020
 with God

00:31:34.020 --> 00:31:35.420
 keep

00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:35.440
 keep

00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:35.580
 your

00:31:35.580 --> 00:31:36.120
 eyes

00:31:36.120 --> 00:31:37.340
 and your

00:31:37.340 --> 00:31:37.660
 feet

00:31:37.660 --> 00:31:37.900
 down

00:31:37.900 --> 00:31:38.080
 the

00:31:38.080 --> 00:31:38.580
 path

00:31:38.580 --> 00:31:40.140
 that goes

00:31:40.140 --> 00:31:40.660
 with God

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:42.320
 we see

00:31:42.320 --> 00:31:43.040
 that all

00:31:43.040 --> 00:31:43.600
 through scripture

00:31:43.600 --> 00:31:44.320
 this idea

00:31:44.320 --> 00:31:44.980
 of a journey

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.620
 this idea

00:31:45.620 --> 00:31:47.080
 of a path

00:31:47.080 --> 00:31:47.620
 this idea

00:31:47.620 --> 00:31:48.080
 of going

00:31:48.080 --> 00:31:48.540
 through a

00:31:48.540 --> 00:31:48.880
 gate

00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:51.460
 verse 25

00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:51.940
 says

00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:52.400
 let your

00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:53.140
 eyes look

00:31:53.140 --> 00:31:53.640
 directly

00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:54.280
 forward

00:31:54.280 --> 00:31:56.140
 and your

00:31:56.140 --> 00:31:56.800
 gaze be

00:31:56.800 --> 00:31:57.140
 straight

00:31:57.140 --> 00:31:58.020
 before you

00:31:58.020 --> 00:32:00.200
 if that's

00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:00.840
 not enough

00:32:00.840 --> 00:32:01.560
 he says

00:32:01.560 --> 00:32:02.020
 ponder

00:32:02.020 --> 00:32:02.740
 the path

00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:03.100
 of your

00:32:03.100 --> 00:32:03.600
 feet

00:32:03.600 --> 00:32:05.620
 I'm looking

00:32:05.620 --> 00:32:05.980
 down

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:06.400
 where I'm

00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:06.840
 going

00:32:06.840 --> 00:32:08.980
 then all

00:32:08.980 --> 00:32:09.580
 your ways

00:32:09.580 --> 00:32:09.940
 will be

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:10.320
 sure

00:32:10.320 --> 00:32:12.100
 I'm

00:32:12.100 --> 00:32:13.020
 pondering

00:32:13.020 --> 00:32:13.560
 the path

00:32:13.560 --> 00:32:13.860
 of my

00:32:13.860 --> 00:32:14.260
 feet

00:32:14.260 --> 00:32:15.020
 God

00:32:15.020 --> 00:32:15.360
 am I

00:32:15.360 --> 00:32:15.740
 going

00:32:15.740 --> 00:32:15.940
 the

00:32:15.940 --> 00:32:16.360
 direction

00:32:16.360 --> 00:32:16.760
 you want

00:32:16.760 --> 00:32:17.040
 me to

00:32:17.040 --> 00:32:17.320
 go

00:32:17.320 --> 00:32:19.600
 and then

00:32:19.600 --> 00:32:20.000
 he says

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:20.320
 in verse

00:32:20.320 --> 00:32:20.940
 27

00:32:20.940 --> 00:32:21.300
 he says

00:32:21.300 --> 00:32:21.760
 do not

00:32:21.760 --> 00:32:22.500
 swerve

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:23.560
 to the

00:32:23.560 --> 00:32:24.000
 right

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:24.580
 and to

00:32:24.580 --> 00:32:24.740
 the

00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:25.140
 left

00:32:25.140 --> 00:32:28.320
 turn

00:32:28.320 --> 00:32:28.500
 your

00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:28.680
 foot

00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:29.140
 away

00:32:29.140 --> 00:32:29.560
 from

00:32:29.560 --> 00:32:29.840
 evil

00:32:29.840 --> 00:32:32.300
 so in

00:32:32.300 --> 00:32:32.460
 that

00:32:32.460 --> 00:32:32.880
 moment

00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:33.320
 Solomon

00:32:33.320 --> 00:32:34.000
 lays out

00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:34.200
 some

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:34.560
 great

00:32:34.560 --> 00:32:35.100
 instructions

00:32:35.100 --> 00:32:35.660
 for his

00:32:35.660 --> 00:32:36.000
 son

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.960
 Solomon

00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:38.400
 God

00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:38.940
 lays out

00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:39.260
 for you

00:32:39.260 --> 00:32:39.620
 and I

00:32:39.620 --> 00:32:39.800
 some

00:32:39.800 --> 00:32:40.100
 great

00:32:40.100 --> 00:32:40.580
 instruction

00:32:40.580 --> 00:32:41.000
 for our

00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:41.340
 life

00:32:41.340 --> 00:32:43.460
 as we

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:44.600
 navigate

00:32:44.600 --> 00:32:45.680
 relationships

00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:46.200
 as we

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:46.740
 navigate

00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:47.260
 our

00:32:47.260 --> 00:32:47.760
 life

00:32:47.760 --> 00:32:48.880
 God's

00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:49.160
 word

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:49.680
 is there

00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:50.260
 to guide

00:32:50.260 --> 00:32:50.640
 us

00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.380
 and to

00:32:52.380 --> 00:32:52.640
 be in

00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:52.760
 the

00:32:52.760 --> 00:32:53.200
 places

00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:53.640
 to be

00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:53.900
 in the

00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:54.240
 moment

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:54.620
 to be

00:32:54.620 --> 00:32:54.840
 in the

00:32:54.840 --> 00:32:55.540
 relationships

00:32:55.540 --> 00:32:56.920
 that God

00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:57.420
 would intend

00:32:57.420 --> 00:32:57.780
 for you

00:32:57.780 --> 00:32:58.040
 and I

00:32:58.040 --> 00:32:58.420
 to be

00:32:58.420 --> 00:33:00.280
 let's

00:33:00.280 --> 00:33:00.460
 pray

00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:00.800
 together

00:33:00.800 --> 00:33:05.680
 Father God

00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:06.220
 your word

00:33:06.220 --> 00:33:06.620
 does not

00:33:06.620 --> 00:33:07.020
 return

00:33:07.020 --> 00:33:07.460
 void

00:33:07.460 --> 00:33:08.480
 so even

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:08.860
 in the

00:33:08.860 --> 00:33:09.200
 reading

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:09.560
 and the

00:33:09.560 --> 00:33:09.800
 hearing

00:33:09.800 --> 00:33:10.140
 of your

00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:10.540
 word

00:33:10.540 --> 00:33:11.840
 you speak

00:33:11.840 --> 00:33:12.300
 to us

00:33:12.300 --> 00:33:12.660
 wherever

00:33:12.660 --> 00:33:13.060
 it is

00:33:13.060 --> 00:33:13.380
 that we

00:33:13.380 --> 00:33:13.720
 are

00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:14.140
 in that

00:33:14.140 --> 00:33:14.560
 moment

00:33:14.560 --> 00:33:15.600
 and so

00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:15.800
 Lord

00:33:15.800 --> 00:33:16.300
 I thank

00:33:16.300 --> 00:33:16.500
 you

00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:18.020
 I thank

00:33:18.020 --> 00:33:18.320
 you so

00:33:18.320 --> 00:33:18.540
 much

00:33:18.540 --> 00:33:18.840
 Lord

00:33:18.840 --> 00:33:19.760
 for who

00:33:19.760 --> 00:33:20.140
 you are

00:33:20.140 --> 00:33:20.400
 and what

00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:20.680
 you do

00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:20.900
 in our

00:33:20.900 --> 00:33:21.260
 life

00:33:21.260 --> 00:33:23.340
 I pray

00:33:23.340 --> 00:33:23.680
 Father

00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:24.020
 if we
