1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,700
In the name of the Glorious 
Trinity. 

2
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:03,900
Father and Son and Holy Spirit 
forever. 

3
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:06,800
Amen. 
Glory be to the Everlasting 

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,200
mercies which sent you to us. 
Oh, Christ the light of the 

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:15,000
world and the life of all give 
us wisdom by a law and Enlighten

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,900
our impulses, by your knowledge 
sanctify, our souls by your 

7
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:22,800
truth and Grant that we may be 
obedient to your words and may 

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,800
fulfill your Commandments at 
every hour. 

9
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:29,000
O you who enlightens the 
rationale with the knowledge of 

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
your greatness? 
He's doin light O My Lord. 

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,400
Our thoughts that we made 
meditate upon your holy and 

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,900
divine scriptures at all times. 
Oh Lord of all Father and Son 

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,600
and Holy Spirit forever. 
Amen. 

14
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:08,200
In the gospel of our Lord and 
our Savior Jesus Christ. 

15
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,500
According to the proclamation of
the preaching of Matthew chapter

16
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:18,000
7 verse 26, Jesus our lord 
instructs and everyone who hears

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
these my words. 
That is the holy scriptures but 

18
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:27,900
does not practice them, put him 
in practice act upon them, do 

19
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:32,300
them will be likened to the 
foolish man and woe to the man 

20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,000
who he seemed foolish in the 
eyes of God Saint James. 

21
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:44,200
Simplifies it in chapter 1, 
verse 22, but be a doer of the 

22
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:50,300
word, a practicer of the word 
and not only or mere here. 

23
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:55,800
And do not deceive yourself. 
Let's put these into practice. 

24
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,700
Let's, let's have a look at some
of the examples. 

25
00:01:57,700 --> 00:01:59,400
As what have we talking about 
here? 

26
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,200
What are the scriptures? 
Instructing us? 

27
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:07,700
Jesus says, in Matthew 5:44, 
listen to this very carefully. 

28
00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:12,100
See, the reason why I tell you 
to listen because we are now 

29
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:17,800
hearing these words, but I say 
to you love your enemies. 

30
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:24,000
Yeah, right here we go. 
Well if we dare if we have so 

31
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,400
much courage to say that to the 
holy scriptures and this is our 

32
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,600
response and our reaction to the
holy scriptures. 

33
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,500
God help. 
But I say to you, love your 

34
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:38,700
enemies and bless the one who 
curses you and do. 

35
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:43,700
What is beautiful to the one who
hate you and pray over those or 

36
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:48,500
pray for those who take you by 
force and persecute you. 

37
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:55,900
Now, when we read these 
scriptures, face value, they are

38
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:57,900
not common. 
Obviously in this most wicked 

39
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:01,700
World, these are not common, 
common acts of man, be it 

40
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:04,400
Christian. 
Non-Christian what have you to 

41
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:08,200
love your enemies and to bless 
the ones who curse. 

42
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,400
You? 
Why is Jesus asking this? 

43
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,700
Why is instructing this? 
Because you know what, let's put

44
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:18,600
it very simply whatever. 
Our enemy Eminem is whatever our

45
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,600
enemies do to us. 
And the worst they can do is 

46
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,600
kill the body. 
We love them because when you 

47
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,800
die for Christ, you live with 
Christ in the Kingdom of Heaven.

48
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,600
If you die for Christ on Earth, 
you live for with Christ in the 

49
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:42,100
Kingdom of Heaven, So, hearing 
these words, we must put them in

50
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:48,100
practice if right now. 
Our reactionary response to this

51
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:52,500
verse is. 
Well that's not how I feel. 

52
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,600
That's not common. 
That's not realistic. 

53
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:59,000
Let me take you back to Matthew 
726. 

54
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,700
Hearing it. 
And not doing it. 

55
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,100
We are fools in the eyes of God.
We're only fooling ourselves to 

56
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:09,700
I mean St. 
James says, you're fooling 

57
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:12,300
yourselves. 
You think you have a 

58
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:16,100
relationship with God? 
You think you are a baying god 

59
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,899
you believe you love the Lord 
but we truly don't, we're 

60
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:24,900
fooling ourselves. 
In Mark chapter 11 verse 25 to 

61
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:27,400
26. 
Jesus again says and what 

62
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:33,900
whenever you stand to pray, 
forgive whatever you have 

63
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,200
against anyone. 
So that your father who is in 

64
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,700
heaven. 
May also forgive you your 

65
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:47,700
faults, but if you are not 
forgiving, neither will your 

66
00:04:47,700 --> 00:04:50,800
father in Heaven. 
Forgive you your faults or your 

67
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,300
sins? 
Let's do a little exercise. 

68
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,100
This is going to be a practical 
episode. 

69
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,400
Those who are sitting down and 
listening to this podcast at 

70
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,500
home in their office, in the 
park. 

71
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:10,200
Wherever Raise your hands. 
If you have no faults. 

72
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:16,300
Those who are driving their car.
If you're listening to this 

73
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:19,800
podcast and you're driving, honk
your horn, if you have no Faults

74
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,700
on those sins. 
If there are two or three 

75
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:28,400
amongst each other, listening to
this podcast, admit to one 

76
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,600
another confess to one another. 
If you believe that you have no 

77
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:45,500
Faults and you have no sense. 
Well I'm sure I'm I'm 99.9% 

78
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:50,400
confident that no one has raised
their hand or honk their horn or

79
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,100
has confessed that they are 
sinless or have no fault that 

80
00:05:55,100 --> 00:06:01,300
point 0 1 percent, you must be 
venerated to to the saintly 

81
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:04,300
orders because you have 
completed, your urine are 

82
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:09,500
complete in Christ. 
But then again, those who think 

83
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:12,200
that they are sinless and 
faultless, let me rain on your 

84
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,400
parade in the first Epistle of 
st. 

85
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:24,300
John the disciple, 1 John 1:8 
John tells us that if we shall 

86
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:28,600
say that, we do not have sin, we
deceive ourselves and the truth 

87
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:36,300
is not in US. 
So Jesus is telling us that we 

88
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:41,900
need to forgive the sins of 
those who have sinned against us

89
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,100
and of hurt us. 
We need to pray for them. 

90
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:51,600
Otherwise, when we who now we 
have ascertained that we too, we

91
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,800
are not faultless and sinless. 
We to have faults and sins when 

92
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:01,800
we go to the father and we ask 
the father to forgive Let me 

93
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,400
read the scripture again. 
Matthew Mark 11:25 26. 

94
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:09,700
This is how see right now we're 
pondering on. 

95
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:12,800
These villagers are not just 
reading and praising the Lord 

96
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,600
and agreeing with them. 
We want to see where we stand 

97
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,100
with these. 
If we, if we have fallen, let's 

98
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:22,000
stand and continue to stand in 
these scriptures. 

99
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,400
If we are standing in these 
scriptures, continue and praise 

100
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,400
God. 
And whenever you stand to pray, 

101
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,800
when we come to pray, this is 
what Jesus telling us. 

102
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,000
Give Whoever has sinned against 
you basically. 

103
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:37,400
So that your father in Heaven, 
shall do that because if you 

104
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,700
don't, and this is not a scare 
tactic beloved, this is not 

105
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:45,200
Kasha jernard or priest Jenner 
telling you that. 

106
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,000
Listen, if you don't come to 
church, I will not do this or 

107
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,800
not do that. 
And I will not Grant you this 

108
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,500
and then two months later, you 
know, I'm going to be, you know,

109
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:55,500
compromising. 
I'll compromise it. 

110
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:58,000
Because why? 
Because I'm a fool and I'm weak.

111
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,200
My judgment is weak, but God's 
judgment and righteousness. 

112
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,900
Righteousness is complete. 
It's perfect. 

113
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:08,700
So when Jesus says, but if you 
are not forgiving, neither will 

114
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,500
your father in Heaven? 
Forgive you, your faults, my 

115
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:15,500
God, I stand corrected, I stand 
condemned. 

116
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:18,500
Now, with this verse But what do
I do? 

117
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,500
It's not the end of the world 
and I've always said, I need to 

118
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:25,500
correct this I need to come to 
the Lord. 

119
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:30,400
Beat my breast and say, Lord 
have mercy on me for I am, truly

120
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,799
a sinner. 
Help me to gain that. 

121
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,799
Courage, that love. 
Help me to gain that, eagerness 

122
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,200
to be obedient to your words 
that I may forgive those who 

123
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,600
have sinned against me. 
And I know it's not easy. 

124
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,500
We're going to talk about that. 
I'm not going to be a hypocrite 

125
00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:49,200
and tell you. 
Yes, it is. 

126
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,700
It is what it is. 
You need to do it, you know, 

127
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:58,200
Audrina apply it. 
Apply it Robbie will apply it in

128
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,300
1, John chapter 2 verse 24, he 
continues for. 

129
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:07,700
He who says, I know him and let 
me dare to add. 

130
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:10,800
I love him. 
I obey him, I praise him. 

131
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:14,300
I want to be with him. 
I want him to be Part of my life

132
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:17,500
to take my heart in his hands 
and and Lead me. 

133
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:21,200
And I want to offer my love my 
life to my Lord. 

134
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:25,300
For he who says, I know him and 
does not keep his Commandments 

135
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:28,800
is lying. 
There's a sin and the truth is 

136
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:34,800
not in him. 
So let me ask every one of us 

137
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:37,600
myself. 
First Stephen Adrena, the 

138
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,700
produces a new beloved 
listeners. 

139
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Do you love the Lord? 
Do you want to obey the Lord? 

140
00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:50,300
Do you feel the desire to obey 
the Lord and commit to the lord?

141
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:55,600
Well, we need to keep his 
Commandments Jesus said if you 

142
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:01,900
love me You don't need to do 
Dawn Ronnie. 

143
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,700
You don't need to pay your 
membership on time and be the 

144
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:12,100
first to pay your church 
subscriptions and you need to go

145
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:14,800
and help people and do your 
charitable Deeds. 

146
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:19,900
If you love me first obey, my 
Commandments and his 

147
00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:23,800
Commandments, everything that 
I've spoken about has been his 

148
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,600
entailed. 
St. 

149
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,900
Paul in his epistle to the 
Romans. 12:2 he's begging. 

150
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:35,200
You know when someone begs 
Audrina, when I say to you and 

151
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,900
I'm your priest. 
I'm your spiritual counselor, 

152
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,800
Audrina? 
I beg you. 

153
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,400
How important, how much am I 
trying to stress and emphasize 

154
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,600
that I want from you? 
This is truly a life and death 

155
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:53,700
matter and it is I beg you. 
Therefore, Paul says to the 

156
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:58,700
Romans the Gentiles My brethren.
So now they're not Gentiles. 

157
00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:02,400
Now they were the Gentiles who 
accepted Jesus Christ. 

158
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,200
Because when, when we read in 
the gospels or the Epistles 

159
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,400
Brethren, it is the the faithful
I beg you therefore my brethren 

160
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,800
by the mercies of God, that you 
present your bodies. 

161
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:24,800
Living sacrifices. 
Holy and acceptable to God by a 

162
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,500
logical service and do not 
imitate this world. 

163
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:33,700
These are the scriptures. 
These are the words of of Jesus 

164
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:35,700
Christ. 
These are the words of the holy 

165
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:38,500
spirit. 
Let me remind you again, Matthew

166
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:44,100
726, and everyone who hears. 
These, my words, you may say all

167
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:46,300
know these are the words of Mere
Men. 

168
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,900
Saint. 
Paul was not Jesus Christ, st. 

169
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:53,400
Paul was moved. 
By the Holy Spirit to write this

170
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:54,800
so st. 
Paul. 

171
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,400
So these words are the words of 
God. 

172
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,700
So, right now, we are hearing 
these words of God. 

173
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,900
By the mercies of God that you 
present or offer your bodies as 

174
00:12:05,908 --> 00:12:10,700
living sacrifices, holy and 
acceptable or pleasing to God 

175
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,200
biological service and do not 
imitate this world. 

176
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:23,100
The trend, the norm, the 
philosophy, the ideology, The 

177
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:28,300
Hollywood dollar G. 
Do not imitate this world, but 

178
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:32,300
be transformed by the renovation
of your minds. 

179
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,500
And you should then shall 
distinguish, what is the good 

180
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,200
acceptable and perfect will of 
God. 

181
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,700
Here is scripture. 
Here is the word of God. 

182
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:49,600
Where do you my brother and most
importantly, my system ID system

183
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,200
where do you stand with this 
scripture? 

184
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:55,400
You just heard it. 
Now let's go back at to another 

185
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,300
exercise. 
Raise your hands if you're now 

186
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:02,300
agreeing and a mean and praise 
the Lord, honk your horn. 

187
00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:06,300
If you if you love this verse 
you know talk to one another oh 

188
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:09,000
I love this. 
Words are we do ours of the 

189
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,300
words? 
If not we're Hypocrites were 

190
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:16,300
fools in the eyes of God. 
Saint John chrysostom rights and

191
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:20,300
I love Saint John chrysostom. 
I think I've already proven that

192
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:28,000
because in every episode almost 
every episode I I comment or I 

193
00:13:28,008 --> 00:13:29,600
used in John chrysostom's 
comments. 

194
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,700
I refer to his commentaries, how
is the body to become as 

195
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:36,700
sacrifice here? 
It is Audrina, put it in 

196
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:39,800
practice. 
How is the body to become a 

197
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,800
sacrifice? 
Simple Matthew 5:29. 

198
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:47,600
He says he goes on to say, let 
the I look on no evil thing and 

199
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,500
he it has already become a 
sacrifice. 

200
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:55,800
What do you mean evil thing? 
Well, open your laptop. 

201
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,300
Get on your phone now. 
And you start scrolling you 

202
00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:02,300
start surfing the net, you start
scrolling the Instagrams and the

203
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:06,000
and the, and the Snapchats and 
Facebook's and you'll see that 

204
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,400
evil things that Saint John. 
Chrysostom is referring to Jesus

205
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,500
said in Matthew 5:29. 
This is his quote, by the way, 

206
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:18,900
this is this is his, his backup 
verse wish. 

207
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:22,900
If I may say, if your right eye 
causes you to sin, gouge, it 

208
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,000
Gadget out. 
It's best to enter the kingdom 

209
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:33,000
of heaven with Two eyes. 
No eyes then to enter into 

210
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,700
eternal, hell with the whole 
body intact. 

211
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,700
Let the tongue say nothing 
filthy and it has become an 

212
00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:44,100
offering Proverbs 10:31, the 
mouth of the righteous speaks 

213
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,300
wisdom and a perverted tongue 
will be cut out. 

214
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,800
Cussing is now the norm, but I 
told you, I went back, not the 

215
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,700
norm, where is it? 
Let me find that scripture 

216
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:57,600
again. 
If I could if I had here it is 

217
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:00,900
and do not imitate this. 
The Train, the known, the 

218
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:02,400
philosophy. 
Oh, you know what? 

219
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,800
It's cool too. 
Cause it's a long now. 

220
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,300
It's natural now. 
Well, this is imitating, the 

221
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:12,900
world and if we want to imitate 
the world, then we will end up 

222
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:16,000
where the world is ending up in 
Eternal fire. 

223
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,300
Where st. 
Paul says that every element of 

224
00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:21,100
this world will burn in Eternal 
fire. 

225
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:27,400
Let your hand do nothing evil 
and it has become a whole burnt 

226
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,300
offering. 
And he goes on to say, but even 

227
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:35,600
this is not enough for we must 
have good works. 

228
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:44,500
Also. 
Saint Paul writes to Timothy and

229
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,600
I think it goes hand in hand 
with this verse 2, Timothy 2:21.

230
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,300
If a man will purify himself 
from these things, the norm of 

231
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:56,600
the world, he is a pure vessel 
of for Honor suitable for the 

232
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,000
use of his Lord, and ready for 
every good works. 

233
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:06,700
And it all comes down to reading
the word, agreeing with the word

234
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,200
praising. 
God, for the word obeying. 

235
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,000
The Good and doing the word 
putting it in practice. 

236
00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:19,200
St. 
John goes on to say the hand. 

237
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,300
Must do arms. 
The mouth must bless those who 

238
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:25,500
curse it. 
And the he's must find time to 

239
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:29,900
listen to the readings of the 
scriptures and st. 

240
00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:35,300
John chrysostom quotes, 2. 
Timothy 3:16, every writing, 

241
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:42,200
meaning every scripture which is
written by the spirit and who 

242
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,500
determines the scriptures that 
are being being inspired by the 

243
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:47,100
spirit, that's the church that 
Determines. 

244
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:51,700
This is proud of profitable for 
teaching for correction for this

245
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:58,200
direction and For A Cause in 
righteousness, This is the 

246
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,500
scripture. 
What are we going to do about 

247
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:05,200
this? 
I'm going to add this. 

248
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:10,500
Our social medias and I always 
touch up on this. 

249
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,099
We just heard we just read, we 
just agreed. 

250
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:17,099
I believe everyone raised their 
hand and honk the their horn 

251
00:17:17,099 --> 00:17:19,599
and, and discussed amongst one 
another that. 

252
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,700
Yes, that is scripture that is 
the word of God. 

253
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:25,400
And the word of God is 
commanding us that we do not 

254
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,500
conform, or do not imitate 
imitate this world. 

255
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:36,500
Social media posts, social media
pictures, social media comments,

256
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:37,800
what's that? 
Is it a? 

257
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:42,400
What is it called, guys? 
It's on Tick-Tock, I think, and 

258
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,400
you sit there and there's a song
playing in the background and 

259
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,200
you sing that song, is it sing 
along or something, Mary had a 

260
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,900
little lamb or them and the ball
bounces, is it? 

261
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:53,800
No it's not, but it's like that,
okay? 

262
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,600
You know, and it it never ceases
to amaze me. 

263
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,100
For me to sit there with my 
cross hanging out of my outside 

264
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:07,200
of my shirt, and I'm singing 
along to a song, every third or 

265
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,200
fourth word is a cuss song. 
So how do I claim that I am a 

266
00:18:11,208 --> 00:18:14,300
Christian? 
Then how can I claim that? 

267
00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:18,800
I am a doer of the word when the
word is telling me that I should

268
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,800
not imitate this world, who 
cares, the owner of tick, tock 

269
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,400
has given you this application. 
And we are permitted. 

270
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,400
Who cares about that? 
My Lord teaches me mice. 

271
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:33,100
Scripture teaches, teachers me 
the holy scriptures, teach me 

272
00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:35,500
that. 
This is what the world. 

273
00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:37,200
This is the pattern of the 
world. 

274
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:39,800
We should not confirm who should
not imitate. 

275
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:44,000
So yeah, you know what, if you 
have one of those post going 

276
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,400
deleted now, right now you're 
going to leave and say thank 

277
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,100
you. 
Lord! 

278
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:50,800
Thank you. 
Jesus Christ. 

279
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:53,600
Thank you, Father. 
Son and Holy Spirit. 

280
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,800
Praise with your name. 
I did not know. 

281
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,100
But this is how far I need to 
go. 

282
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:02,300
This is how serious we need to 
be with our faith. 

283
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:10,600
Otherwise remain in the era that
the world is leading us to and 

284
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:16,600
we will continue to go to where 
the world will end up. the 

285
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:23,100
sides, the pages, we engage in 
the site's, the pages, the 

286
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:28,300
Instagrams, the, the snapchats 
that we agree, with, with light,

287
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:31,700
we like, So now you're we've 
heard it. 

288
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:38,500
Now we know that the scriptures 
are quite clear of our social 

289
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:40,800
media living. 
What are we going to do about 

290
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,900
that? 
Beloved, then onus is on you. 

291
00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:46,700
Now, the onus is on you to 
expand and understand and 

292
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:51,300
comprehend and put in action. 
Yes, I'm serious. 

293
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,900
If, you know, if right now, York
on your conscious, it's 

294
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:59,600
convicting you. 
Because the post that you have 

295
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,700
there, the Sure that you have 
there is, is now convicting. 

296
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:08,800
You go now and remove it, then 
you truly become a doer of the 

297
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:14,900
word if you are now nodding your
head in agreement, But do not do

298
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:17,900
it. 
You are the sun. 

299
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,700
According To Jesus, parable in 
Matthew 21:13 who said to his 

300
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:25,600
father, he will go to the 
vineyard and work, but he didn't

301
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:33,400
go, if you are now somehow 
convinced convicted, maybe 

302
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,100
somehow right now, sorry not 
convinced. 

303
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:39,900
And not convicted maybe somehow.
Right? 

304
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:42,800
At this moment, you don't see 
the point I'm trying to make you

305
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,500
not agree. 
Do not comprehend fully at this 

306
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:48,300
very moment. 
However, you're not totally 

307
00:20:48,300 --> 00:20:52,900
writing off this episode and 
later on through prayer and 

308
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:58,200
consultation, you take baby 
steps and even if you do not 

309
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,400
master or you do not complete, 
you come to that conclusion but 

310
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,800
you're striving now you know you
want to delete but you feel 

311
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:08,100
well. 
I don't see anything wrong with 

312
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,400
that but I'll be everyone else 
is doing it. 

313
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,500
So shall I shan't I but you know
you're striving. 

314
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,600
Saying you're trying to get to 
that point where you say no, for

315
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,500
Christ's sake. 
I am a Christian. 

316
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:21,900
I represent Jesus Christ. 
I need to live a Godly life. 

317
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,700
I'm going to delete And 
eventually you get to that point

318
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:31,100
notice I said strive, Jesus said
strive to enter the narrow 

319
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:34,500
narrow gate. 
This is your challenge now and 

320
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:38,600
eventually you do it then you 
are that son that said, no. 

321
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:44,800
Father, I do not care to go but 
then felt remorse and repented 

322
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,500
and went to the vineyard and 
work there. 

323
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:55,400
You know, our feelings, our 
faith, our emotions I can, I can

324
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,600
comfortably say that they are in
one way or another a Sacrament, 

325
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:03,100
you know, when we believe in 
Jesus Christ, we have faith in 

326
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:07,400
Jesus Christ. 
And then we come to church 

327
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,200
partake in the Holy Eucharist or
we actually read the scriptures.

328
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,200
Right now we're listening to 
these words, you know, there's a

329
00:22:14,208 --> 00:22:17,600
Sacrament at work. 
Now it is the outward 

330
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,700
expression. 
Now, the outward expression is, 

331
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,100
I'm going to switch on this 
podcast, I'm going to listen to 

332
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:27,200
it because I believe in Jesus 
Christ, there's an expression of

333
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,800
the offer, you know, when I walk
into the to my daughter's home 

334
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,900
soon, my own home because 
they're moving in, Abel. 

335
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:36,900
My grandson. 
Are you clapping? 

336
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,500
As soon as he sees me an 
innocent child looks at me and 

337
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:47,400
goes wow that means sour which 
means Grandpa actually, Sowell 

338
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,800
means old men. 
What's up old man? 

339
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,700
Yeah exactly. 
Wow, any comes out innocently 

340
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:59,600
with his arms, open runs to me. 
He's probably saying, oh I was 

341
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,100
gonna give me something. 
We don't know if if there's 

342
00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:06,600
truly an emotion of love a 
feeling of love for his wow. 

343
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,200
And I'm sure there is, is an 
innocent child, but when I 

344
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:15,600
embrace him and I hug him, there
is my expression of my love for 

345
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,100
my grandchild. 
That I can't just walk in and 

346
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:20,200
say hi. 
Wow. 

347
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,200
And then just go and do my own 
sighs. 

348
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,900
I need to go and hug and kiss 
her you clap. 

349
00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:26,500
I love you. 
Give me Bachi. 

350
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:27,200
Baba. 
Watch. 

351
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,900
And then, and he wants me to get
on the ground and start singing 

352
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,300
the ends. 
Go marching one by one.hoorah. 

353
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,100
He loves it, right? 
This is my expression of care 

354
00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:39,400
and love to see him joyful. 
That's how I express it. 

355
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:45,000
Husband and wife. 
The feelings of love for one 

356
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
another. 
Sometimes it's portrayed through

357
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,300
flowers. 
Teddy bears. 

358
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,400
Boxes of chocolate long-stem 
roses Honey. 

359
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,700
Hi babe. 
My love my soul. 

360
00:23:57,700 --> 00:24:01,600
You know, these are expressions 
of Love, even further the 

361
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:08,000
intimacy, the intimacy and her 
husband and wife have is an 

362
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,500
expression of their love. 
It's an output expression. 

363
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:17,400
Act of an Would desire beloved. 
This is exactly the same with 

364
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,500
our Lord and our Savior. 
Jesus Christ. 

365
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,600
Our Heavenly bridegroom, will 
you read his instructions? 

366
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,100
We hear his instructions. 
He's instructions are preached 

367
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:32,300
to us. 
He's instructions are you know 

368
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:35,200
taught us and have been 
interpreted to us. 

369
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:38,300
What do we do? 
Just by nodding our heads and 

370
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:41,100
saying, praise God, I believe 
that is not enough. 

371
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:45,200
That's a head service. 
We give or just a little lip 

372
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:50,300
service but to actually put it 
in practice or I will go on to 

373
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:54,900
say, to begin to put it in 
practice, I'm going to quote, 

374
00:24:54,900 --> 00:25:00,700
you send Augustine. 
He rides, neither. 

375
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:04,700
I nor any other preacher can see
into your hearts. 

376
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,600
Here I am preaching right now. 
I don't know. 

377
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,000
Who's listening, thank you for 
your comments and God bless you.

378
00:25:11,008 --> 00:25:15,800
And please always glorify God, 
always, give glory to God, I 

379
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,100
don't know what's in your heart.
Now you put, you could be 

380
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:23,700
mocking the word of God now, You
could maybe well if you switched

381
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:26,000
off you can hear this and your 
but you know, you could be 

382
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,700
totally in agreeance or totally 
in disagreements. 

383
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:31,600
Neither. 
I nor any other preacher can see

384
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,700
into your heart but God is 
looking for, nothing can be 

385
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:39,400
hidden from him, do not deceive 
yourselves by coming, eagerly to

386
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,400
hear the word and then failing 
to do it. 

387
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:45,800
People ask for Bible studies 
left right and Center sometimes 

388
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,400
and the church must always 
without any reductant real. 

389
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,900
Students, without any delay, 
preach the word of God. 

390
00:25:57,100 --> 00:25:59,400
St. 
Augustine says do not deceive 

391
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,000
yourselves and becoming eagerly 
to hear the word and then 

392
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,300
failing to do it. 
If it is a good thing to hear, 

393
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,500
it is as much better thing to 
do. 

394
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,800
If you do not hear you cannot do
and therefore you will build 

395
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:17,000
nothing. 
But if you here and do not do 

396
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,700
then, what are you building? 
Whatever your building will be 

397
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:24,500
ruined. 
It is good to hear the word of 

398
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:25,800
God. 
It's comforting to you. 

399
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,000
The word of God. 
But is it comforting only for a 

400
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,400
small period of time? 
Is that the seed that fell among

401
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,600
the rocks? 
It sprouted but because there 

402
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:41,800
was no root it, dyed it with it.
How do we keep the word of God 

403
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,700
alive in our lives, in our 
hearts, in our everyday, coming 

404
00:26:46,700 --> 00:26:49,800
and going is to do the word of 
God. 

405
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:56,800
And again, please do not think 
that we need our horns to be 

406
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:02,100
immediately changed into Halos. 
It takes time it takes a 

407
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:07,200
process, but when we're ready to
put the first step to take that 

408
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,400
first step and we rely on God 
and we truly want to obey the 

409
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,000
Lord Jesus Christ. 
He assured Lee has granted us 

410
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:19,000
and assured us that he is there 
for us. 

411
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:22,700
He will never leave us nor 
forsake us, praise and glory. 

412
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:26,400
Be to His holy name now in at 
all times and forever. 

413
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,300
One last thing.
