1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,080 In the name of the glorious Trinity, Father and Son and Holy 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:05,360 Spirit forever. Amen. 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,160 Glory be to the everlasting mercies which sent you to us, O 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,800 Christ, the light of the world and the life of all. 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,920 Give us wisdom by your law and enlighten our impulses by your 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,880 knowledge. Sanctify our souls by your 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,760 truth, and grant that we may be obedient to your words and may 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,720 fulfill your commandments at every hour. 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,010 Oh you who enlightens the rational with the knowledge of 10 00:00:30,010 --> 00:00:34,810 your greatness, do enlight, O my Lord, our thoughts that we may 11 00:00:34,850 --> 00:00:38,210 meditate upon your holy and divine scriptures at all times, 12 00:00:38,210 --> 00:00:42,340 O Lord of all, Father and Son and Holy Spirit forever. 13 00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:07,840 I recall a story or a joke I heard when I was young of a man 14 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,600 who was drowning in the ocean. And he cried out to the Lord and 15 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,880 said, oh Lord, please help me rescue me. 16 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,840 For my parents sake, for my friends and relatives sake, for 17 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,360 my wife's sake, for my children's sake. 18 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,760 And all of a sudden a hand rescues the man from the ocean, 19 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,040 pulls him out and brings him to the to the seashore. 20 00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:40,270 And as he is walking up the the the shore, his friends came and 21 00:01:40,270 --> 00:01:43,790 said to him and said, listen, we heard your cry. 22 00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:48,350 We understand that you know you ask God to save you for your 23 00:01:48,350 --> 00:01:52,030 parents sake and your relatives, but your wife and your children, 24 00:01:52,110 --> 00:01:54,230 you're not married, you don't have any children. 25 00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:57,710 And he said be quiet, I fooled God. 26 00:01:59,390 --> 00:02:02,390 Which goes against Galatians. Chapter 6, Verse seven. 27 00:02:03,310 --> 00:02:08,210 Do not err, not make a mistake. Don't be foolish. 28 00:02:08,970 --> 00:02:14,890 God is not mocked. God is not deceived for anything 29 00:02:14,890 --> 00:02:23,250 that a man sows, he reaps. When I speak to some of my 30 00:02:23,250 --> 00:02:26,010 brothers and sisters or some of my brothers, in particular some 31 00:02:26,010 --> 00:02:29,650 of my sons, my spiritual sons, and you know, I talk to them 32 00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:33,370 about marriage and that, you know, you should, you know, 33 00:02:33,370 --> 00:02:37,170 settle down and and think of taking holy matrimony, finding 34 00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:40,650 yourself a wife, pray about it and find a wife, take for 35 00:02:40,650 --> 00:02:44,850 yourself a partner in life. And I recommend that you know 36 00:02:45,170 --> 00:02:49,090 they they participate and they come to church. 37 00:02:49,290 --> 00:02:52,770 You know, there's a social gatherings to weddings and 38 00:02:52,770 --> 00:02:55,370 feasts and and parties and what have you. 39 00:02:55,370 --> 00:02:58,730 And you know, there you may find someone and you may be 40 00:02:58,730 --> 00:03:04,950 interested and da da da da, da da, But it really disappoints me 41 00:03:04,950 --> 00:03:08,070 and it breaks my heart to hear their reply. 42 00:03:09,310 --> 00:03:14,830 Robbie, you think those girls who come to church all dressed 43 00:03:14,830 --> 00:03:19,070 modestly and, you know, during the Assyrian weddings, they're 44 00:03:19,070 --> 00:03:23,630 with their parents and, you know, seated so well mannered 45 00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:26,990 and behaved. And, you know, we see them in 46 00:03:26,990 --> 00:03:30,470 many of our cultural and traditional gatherings. 47 00:03:31,180 --> 00:03:34,180 Do you think that they are angels come down from heaven? 48 00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:40,300 No, Robbie, you have no idea what we see them get up to in 49 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,380 night clubs and rave clubs and hook lounges. 50 00:03:44,420 --> 00:03:49,260 So when they come to these special events, don't be 51 00:03:49,260 --> 00:03:53,460 deceived, Robbie. That breaks my heart. 52 00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:57,420 It truly does. And I say, oh, what a wicked and 53 00:03:57,420 --> 00:04:02,440 perverse generation. Now my reply to them is, of 54 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,520 course, what are you doing in such places? 55 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,160 How are you conducting yourself? What is your manner in these 56 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,120 places? And their replies, well, I'm an 57 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:20,360 Orza. I'm a man giving themselves the 58 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:27,040 justifications, the right, the right to, you know, be engaged 59 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,600 on what they look down upon their sisters that are engaged 60 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,160 in such manner. Well, again, that goes against 61 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,320 the holy Scriptures. Galatians, chapter 3, verses 28 62 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,240 and 29. We read there is neither Jew nor 63 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:49,520 Armenian, There is neither slave nor free, There is neither male 64 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,560 nor female. For you are all one in Jesus 65 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,350 Christ. So if you belong to Christ, then 66 00:04:57,350 --> 00:05:02,670 you are descendants of Abraham and his heirs, according to the 67 00:05:02,670 --> 00:05:05,670 promise. I'm an Orza. 68 00:05:06,630 --> 00:05:11,870 Well my dear brother, when it comes to sin and sister when it 69 00:05:11,870 --> 00:05:18,350 comes to sin or holiness, there is no dispensation, there is no 70 00:05:18,350 --> 00:05:21,270 allowance, there is no partiality, there is no 71 00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:27,170 favoritism with God being an Orza, Being a man doesn't give 72 00:05:27,170 --> 00:05:32,210 you the right to sin, doesn't open the door on sexual 73 00:05:32,290 --> 00:05:38,090 immorality and or lack laxness. In faith. 74 00:05:39,690 --> 00:05:43,970 My dear sister, if there is truth, and I believe there is an 75 00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:53,000 element of truth in what your brothers are saying, well, who 76 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,280 are you trying to mock or fool or deceive? 77 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,440 Your parents? Your community members? 78 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,000 Your parish priest? Others. 79 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,080 You may do so. Yeah, you may fool those people 80 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,440 that I just mentioned, but you can certainly not mock or 81 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:20,280 deceive or fool God. You know what you sow is what 82 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:25,810 you reap. People may, according to Isaiah 83 00:06:25,810 --> 00:06:32,210 chapter 5 verses 20 to 23 say or call evil good and good. 84 00:06:32,250 --> 00:06:35,570 Evil people may do that and that is so evident. 85 00:06:35,930 --> 00:06:42,250 Truly in this wicked world good is seen as evil and evil is 86 00:06:42,250 --> 00:06:46,890 commanded as good people may do that. 87 00:06:46,890 --> 00:06:50,450 People may put light for darkness and darkness for light, 88 00:06:51,580 --> 00:06:55,740 put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter, according Isaiah 89 00:06:55,740 --> 00:07:01,260 5/20/23. But the scriptures ascribe and 90 00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:04,940 appoint woes to such people. You know what woes are. 91 00:07:04,980 --> 00:07:08,380 Why? Remember those words coming from 92 00:07:09,140 --> 00:07:13,500 mum when she would, you know she'd look at you really, really 93 00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:17,940 angry. Why Woe to you anguish grief. 94 00:07:18,830 --> 00:07:22,150 So the scriptures are saying, Woe to those people who call 95 00:07:22,270 --> 00:07:26,510 good evil and evil good. Woe to the world. 96 00:07:28,350 --> 00:07:33,550 Don't take heart from and be encouraged by those who applaud 97 00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:39,870 you, love or like your posts, your pictures, your your posts 98 00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:44,950 or comments, those that are attracted to your life or your 99 00:07:45,230 --> 00:07:49,990 manner or conduct or posts. Again, comments that are 100 00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:53,550 contrary to the precepts of the Holy Scriptures. 101 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:58,430 Don't take heart to those that are those those you know 102 00:07:58,430 --> 00:08:02,550 conducts that are contrary to the principles and instructions 103 00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:05,790 of the Church. And I will also go as far as the 104 00:08:05,950 --> 00:08:10,710 ethics and manners and etiquette of our Syrian culture and 105 00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:12,950 traditions. Don't take heart. 106 00:08:14,670 --> 00:08:18,350 Don't be encouraged. Don't build your life upon those 107 00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:24,740 who call your evil good. You see learning the Assyrian 108 00:08:24,740 --> 00:08:28,180 language and the Assyrian history, the Assyrian culture, 109 00:08:28,180 --> 00:08:33,580 the Assyrian identity, the folklore, it's non beneficial to 110 00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:39,900 the Assyrian plight or existence if we do not adhere and live by 111 00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:44,820 them. The Assyrian etiquette Manners. 112 00:08:45,950 --> 00:08:50,190 I want to be a true Assyrian. Yes, learn the language, learn 113 00:08:50,190 --> 00:08:53,950 the history, be proud of it. But live it. 114 00:08:54,030 --> 00:08:56,950 Live the etiquettes. Live the manners as well. 115 00:08:57,190 --> 00:09:00,950 It's not multiple choice. I'm an Assyrian, but what is not 116 00:09:00,950 --> 00:09:07,230 deemed as etiquette and ethics, I will not adhere to. 117 00:09:07,230 --> 00:09:11,350 But I want to wrap the Assyrian flag around me. 118 00:09:12,610 --> 00:09:17,970 You know, we are in that actual fact, bringing disrepute rather 119 00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:20,850 than respect and value. That's a little hypocritical, 120 00:09:20,850 --> 00:09:27,650 right? So reading scripture, posting 121 00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:36,470 scripture, attending church, serving in the church, making 122 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:40,230 markings and tattoos of crosses and scripture verses on your 123 00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:46,470 body are really nonprofitable. Beloved, if we do not live the 124 00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:51,750 scripture, live the service that we are offering in the church, 125 00:09:52,510 --> 00:09:57,630 live the power of the cross that we tattoo or the verses that we 126 00:09:57,630 --> 00:10:01,670 post or tattoo on our bodies. James says these in chapter one, 127 00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:03,590 verse 22. Saint James right. 128 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:09,350 Be a doer of the word meaning a living example, and not only a 129 00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:14,430 hearer or a promoter. And do not deceive yourself. 130 00:10:14,430 --> 00:10:17,310 See you deceive yourself. You can't. 131 00:10:17,310 --> 00:10:21,630 You can deceive others as well, but you cannot deceive God. 132 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:27,310 Definitely you cannot deceive God, and most definitely those 133 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:34,070 who are witnesses and are aware of your lifestyle which is 134 00:10:34,070 --> 00:10:39,670 conducted outside of the scriptures, which are conducted 135 00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:44,950 not in a manner worthy of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. 136 00:10:44,950 --> 00:10:53,430 Philippians 127 Beloved, we are warned in Proverbs chapter 15, 137 00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:56,630 verse three. The eyes of the Lord God are in 138 00:10:56,870 --> 00:11:02,630 every place you know. It's not like God only knows 139 00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:09,590 what happens at church, at home. No God knows exactly what's 140 00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:11,990 happening. And I'll use these terms in the 141 00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:17,950 brothels, in the prisons, in the nightclubs, in the rave clubs. 142 00:11:17,950 --> 00:11:21,790 God knows exactly. The eyes of the Lord God are in 143 00:11:21,790 --> 00:11:28,390 every place gazing on the good and on the evil. 144 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,080 So what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. 145 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,280 Actually what happens in Vegas and every place will be 146 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,520 submitted as evidence at the feeful tribunal of the Lord when 147 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,080 he returns to judge the good and the evil. 148 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,960 Matthew chapter 16, verse 27 for the Son of Man Jesus is speaking 149 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,560 here. Listen intently, pull to one 150 00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:03,860 side, forget about the dishes. Don't worry about the, you know, 151 00:12:03,860 --> 00:12:06,860 stirring the part for cascasta, for Dolma. 152 00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:14,700 Just listen intently, Jesus, our God Incarnate, warns. 153 00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:18,780 For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father 154 00:12:18,940 --> 00:12:22,620 because he is God, the glory meaning the divinity by his 155 00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:24,940 nature. Praise me to his name with the 156 00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:27,460 holy angels, and then He will repay. 157 00:12:28,830 --> 00:12:33,070 He will not ask what were you doing in that place? 158 00:12:33,070 --> 00:12:37,270 It was so much loud music and drugs and alcohol and 159 00:12:37,270 --> 00:12:38,430 debauchery. No, no, no. 160 00:12:38,670 --> 00:12:43,230 He will repay each man according to his works. 161 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,280 Second Corinthians, chapter 5, verse 10. 162 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,240 Saint Paul writes For we are all going to stand before the 163 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,120 judgment seat of the Messiah, that each man will be paid in 164 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,720 his bodily, in sorry, in his body, anything that was done by 165 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,920 him, whether of good or of evil, meaning, deeds, they're 166 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,400 important. Don't let people fool you. 167 00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:12,390 Those who try to fool me, I know those who don't want to work the 168 00:13:12,390 --> 00:13:13,990 good deeds. They just want to give lip 169 00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:15,910 service to God. Oh Jesus, I believe in you. 170 00:13:16,110 --> 00:13:19,550 You are my Lord and Savior and I am saved because I just said you 171 00:13:19,550 --> 00:13:22,710 are my Lord and Savior. Was the chaos wasn't saved When 172 00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:28,710 he said Lord, before he began to tell Jesus what he was going to 173 00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:32,830 do, he said, Lord Jesus didn't stop him and say Hallelujah, 174 00:13:32,990 --> 00:13:34,510 there is salvation in this house. 175 00:13:34,510 --> 00:13:37,710 He said no, Lord, this is what I'm going to do. 176 00:13:38,430 --> 00:13:42,830 And then Jesus says today there is life, not salvation, actually 177 00:13:42,950 --> 00:13:49,750 life in this house. What is being spoken in Vegas 178 00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:54,950 and at every place will also be presented as evidence for the 179 00:13:54,950 --> 00:14:01,290 accountability of he or she who spoke it, Jesus warns again in 180 00:14:01,290 --> 00:14:04,210 Matthew chapter 12, verses 36 to 37. 181 00:14:04,410 --> 00:14:08,570 For I say to you that every idle, empty, meaningless, 182 00:14:08,690 --> 00:14:15,290 derogative, rude, filthy, lying, blaspheming, parasitical word 183 00:14:16,130 --> 00:14:21,020 that people will speak. They will give an answer for it 184 00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:24,420 in the day of Judgment. For by your words you will be 185 00:14:24,420 --> 00:14:28,260 justified, and by your words you will be condemned. 186 00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:32,220 Oh, justified by words. I thought it was only justified 187 00:14:32,220 --> 00:14:35,300 by faith. Well, there's another topic we 188 00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:39,360 need to discuss.

I've had this so from the same 221 00:17:07,589 --> 00:17:12,990 mouth, beloved, on a Saturday evening that we utter those 222 00:17:14,069 --> 00:17:17,190 disrespectful filthy mouth words. 223 00:17:17,190 --> 00:17:22,150 We come back on a Sunday and we sing La Humara to la Mo then. 224 00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:25,270 And James chapter 3, verses 10 to 12. 225 00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:28,720 God cannot be marked praise between his name from the mouth, 226 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,240 precedes blessings and cursing, my brethren. 227 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,640 These things ought not to be done. 228 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,720 Is it possible that from 1 spring sweet and bitter waters 229 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,640 go out? Or can a fig tree, my brethren, 230 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,480 produce olives or a vine figs. So neither can salt water be 231 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:52,000 made sweet. That's why we pray aka Maria, 232 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,200 not oral form or not oral supply. 233 00:17:54,200 --> 00:18:02,130 That's in the Aramaic language.

We have hope, we sing, and it's 252 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,360 a shame.
