1
00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:04,900
I can't dive into a topic. 
Very deep or build a thought for

2
00:00:04,900 --> 00:00:08,000
very long when our sermons are 
going to be 10 or 15 minutes 

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,700
long. 
But I want to just talk about a 

4
00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:17,100
subject that is often discussed 
in the world and that is are you

5
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:22,200
spiritual religious or both? 
Maybe you've heard people say 

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,300
this. 
I have in my life where somebody

7
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:28,900
might say, I'm not religious, 
I'm just spiritual. 

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,500
Well, the question is, is it 
possible according to the word 

9
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:36,500
of God to be spiritual and not 
be religious? 

10
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:39,000
Are these Concepts found in the 
word of God. 

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,400
And what does all that mean? 
Well, first of all the mindset 

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,100
basically that says, I'm 
spiritual, I'm not religious. 

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,100
What people are saying, is this,
everything that is relating to 

14
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:57,800
religious practice, or organized
religion would be considered 

15
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:03,200
religious and In everything that
is associated with the mind or 

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,300
the attitude or the behavior is 
dealing with the spiritual. 

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,500
So here's the mindset. 
As long as I am preparing my 

18
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,500
mind and my mind is right on the
inside. 

19
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,600
I don't have to be part of any 
religious organization at all. 

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,400
I don't have to be a part of 
organized religion. 

21
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:26,000
Maybe you've also heard this 
where somebody might say, I 

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,200
believe in God. 
I'm a Believer in God but I 

23
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,400
don't believe in any kind of 
organized religion. 

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,900
Well, here's the point that I 
want to make. 

25
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,300
We want to notice, is it 
possible truly to be spiritual 

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,800
and not religious? 
Well, first of all, I want to 

27
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,400
ask two questions. 
Is this a distinction that ought

28
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,100
to be made? 
Should we be making a 

29
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:55,600
distinction between spiritual 
and religious? 

30
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,200
And secondly is God. 
Happy with such a distinction? 

31
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,600
Well, first of all, let's talk 
about the definition of 

32
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,800
spiritual according to the 
American Heritage dictionary and

33
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,699
there are four different 
definitions interesting. 

34
00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:13,400
I thought especially number for 
just a minute but here is how 

35
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:20,200
the dictionary defined spiritual
Relating to consisting of or 

36
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,300
having the nature of spirit. 
It is something not tangible or 

37
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:31,000
material second definition. 
It is concerned with or that, 

38
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,700
which is affecting the soul. 
Number three, it is from or 

39
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:39,400
relating to God. 
But then we get into number 4, 

40
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,800
and it says belonging to a 
church or religion. 

41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,500
It is that which is sacred You 
know what's interesting about 

42
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:51,800
this sometimes spiritual and the
definition of spiritual and 

43
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,100
religious are interchangeable. 
In fact, this is the definition 

44
00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:00,800
of what it means to be 
religious, you belong to a body,

45
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:03,500
you belong to a religious 
organization. 

46
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:07,600
Now it's also the same 
definition, definition number 

47
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,700
four, for the word, spiritual 
they run hand-in-hand. 

48
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,600
So I think that there are 
similarities and for Good 

49
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,300
reason. 
One scholar said it this way, he

50
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:22,300
said the reason that they're 
used interchangeably and there 

51
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,100
are similarities is because 
there are some things that are 

52
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:30,000
spiritual that are religious and
things that are religious and 

53
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,400
also spiritual we're going to 
get more into that in just a 

54
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,500
minute. 
So those that set up a contrast 

55
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:41,700
between spiritual and religious 
have a special definition for 

56
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:46,900
each Here's the special 
definition for Spiritual. 

57
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,300
They mean, specifically, 
religious Behavior relating to 

58
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:57,100
the mind like meditation. 
Like prayer like devotion. 

59
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,800
Let me ask you this. 
If meditation bad? 

60
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:05,000
No, the Bible says meditate on 
these things meditation is 

61
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
wonderful. 
If you're having a problem with 

62
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,500
your thinking in your mindset, 
you have to rid yourself of all 

63
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,600
the negative stuff. 
How do you do it by focusing on,

64
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,100
or meditating on that? 
Which is good, that which is, 

65
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:19,500
lovely, and on, and so on, and 
so forth of good report. 

66
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:22,500
And when the Bible says think, 
on these things, it means 

67
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,500
meditate. 
So, meditates a great thing, 

68
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,000
What about this prayer prayer is
part of our life. 

69
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,600
It is everything that we do. 
And by the way, if the only time

70
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,800
you pray is, when you pray for 
your food or you pray at night, 

71
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,400
you're probably not praying 
enough. 

72
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:42,300
Your prayer life should be that,
which incorporates all that you 

73
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:44,000
do. 
What about devotion? 

74
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,100
Absolutely, but the special 
definition for those that are 

75
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:51,600
Advocates of spirituality 
without religion, say it is 

76
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,700
this. 
It is meditation. 

77
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,600
It is prayer. 
R and it's devotion. 

78
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,400
Only, here's the special 
definition that they give when 

79
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,700
they make a distinction between 
the two for the word religious, 

80
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:08,300
they mean behavior that is 
associated with activities of 

81
00:05:08,300 --> 00:05:13,700
religion, such as forms of 
worship and also Church. 

82
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:20,400
Attendance, you know, I tell 
you, I heard a guy say one time 

83
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:27,900
about spirituality and about 
being a spiritual person and he 

84
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:30,700
said it's better. 
And he quoted some author. 

85
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:36,200
He said it's better to be like I
am spiritually or be spiritual 

86
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,900
he said because it's better to 
be in the mountains. 

87
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,900
It's better to be in a mountains
thinking about God than it is to

88
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:45,000
be in a church building. 
Thinking about the mountains. 

89
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,600
Now, when we come together in 
the church building we don't 

90
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,900
think About the mountains, 
that's true. 

91
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:50,900
When we assemble his worship, we
don't think about the mountains,

92
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:53,500
and that's true. 
But the concept was this. 

93
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:59,300
I can have, I can be spiritual 
without worship and without 

94
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:04,700
attendance and without having a 
religious bond with anybody 

95
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:07,400
else, okay? 
So, is there really a 

96
00:06:07,407 --> 00:06:10,200
distinction between spiritual 
and religious? 

97
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:14,100
There is a distinction, it is 
much as there's a difference 

98
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:17,700
between the inward person, or 
the spirit and the ACT. 

99
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:20,400
Cities of the out were person. 
That is the body. 

100
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:24,000
Let's give some Bible for that. 
In 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 and

101
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,300
verse 16, where for we faint 
not. 

102
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:31,800
But though our outward man is 
decaying yet, our inward man is 

103
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,100
being renewed day by day. 
So there's a difference. 

104
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:39,300
There's a distinction between 
the outer man and the inner man 

105
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,700
in our worship though. 
There's also a distinction, 

106
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:47,200
Jesus talked about worship as 
being in spirit and in truth, 

107
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:50,500
when This was there and the 
woman at the well Jesus said, 

108
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:54,200
God is a spirit, and those that 
worship Him must worship him. 

109
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:59,800
We're going to get more to this 
at the end to in spirit. and in 

110
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,800
truth, I want to make this 
point. 

111
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,200
Please get this. 
It is not good enough to 

112
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,400
robotically, go through the 
mechanics of worship. 

113
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,300
We need to put our whole Spirit 
our whole heart behind it. 

114
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:20,700
In fact, when the Bible talks 
about from the deepest part of 

115
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:23,600
our heart or the bowels of our 
heart, it's talking about the 

116
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,900
deepest part of emotion. 
So what do we do? 

117
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:29,900
It has to be in truth. 
That is right but it also has to

118
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:32,200
be in spirit. 
It has to come from the heart, 

119
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,400
it has to be the right motive 
behind it. 

120
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,900
All in other words, spiritual is
in spirit. 

121
00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:40,400
Religious is the part that's in 
truth. 

122
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,700
So yes, there's a distinction 
between the two words. 

123
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:46,400
However, The biblical 
distinction between these two 

124
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,600
concepts is not nearly as great 
as some might think it is. 

125
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,600
So instead of promoting the idea
that you can have one without 

126
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,400
the other, the Bible teaches the
opposite being religious is 

127
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,700
dependent on being spiritual and
being spiritual is dependent 

128
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:07,900
upon being religious. 
Let's look at an example. 

129
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:13,300
In the Book of James James, 
chapter 1, And verse 26, and 27.

130
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:21,200
James says, if anyone thinks 
he's religious If anyone thinks 

131
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:27,300
he's religious and does not 
Bridle his tongue but deceives 

132
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:32,200
his own heart, this one's 
religion is useless. 

133
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,900
Pure and undefiled religion 
before God. 

134
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:39,400
And the father is this to visit 
the orphans and widows in their 

135
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,600
trouble and to keep oneself 
unspotted, from the world. 

136
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,300
Now we might think that 
controlling our speech, 

137
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:49,800
controlling our tongue is a 
spiritual thing. 

138
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
NG and James says, it's 
religious. 

139
00:08:55,700 --> 00:09:00,200
We might think visiting orphans 
and so forth and widows is an 

140
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,300
activity that we might consider 
spiritual because it's not 

141
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:09,700
worship and yet James calls it. 
Pure religion. 

142
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,800
Now, the point is, this, you 
can't be religious without being

143
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,100
spiritual. 
You can't the opposite. 

144
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:23,400
True is true as well. 
You can't be spiritual without 

145
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,200
being religious, it goes both 
ways. 

146
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,500
Galatians chapter 6. 
Notice what Paul says here, he 

147
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:34,500
said Brethren. 
If any man is overtaken in any 

148
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:39,100
trespass, You that are 
spiritual. 

149
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,700
Now first of all, who are they, 
who are the people that are 

150
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:47,000
spiritual some person that's 
reached a higher level of 

151
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000
perfection know some person 
that's reached a higher level of

152
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,400
spirituality know whose it 
talking about. 

153
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:56,600
It's talking about a faithful 
Christian. 

154
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,600
Someone that is walking by the 
dictates of the spirit, Guided 

155
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,100
by the word of God. 
Not a perfect person because 

156
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:06,500
there is no such thing. 
What it's talking about is if 

157
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,400
He's overtaken in a trespass. 
Somebody has to come to the 

158
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,700
rescue, who's the person that 
which is spiritual a Christian, 

159
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:20,600
has to come to the rescue. 
And restore such an one in the 

160
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,500
spirit of gentleness considering
yourself. 

161
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:29,400
Lest you also be tempted, that's
a very powerful Passage. 

162
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,600
When you go to try to help 
somebody interestingly, the word

163
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,200
restore means mend that which is
broken and sometimes were 

164
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,100
unsuccessful in doing that. 
But we need to try to do our 

165
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:44,700
best to do that. 
And the one that is spiritual 

166
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:47,500
goes and tries to restore such 
an one two men that which is 

167
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:49,300
broken. 
But do it in a spirit of 

168
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:52,900
gentleness, considering yourself
two things. 

169
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:55,800
One don't act like it could 
never happen to you. 

170
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,400
Don't ever act like it could 
never happen to you. 

171
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,900
That's number one. 
Number two, don't be tempted 

172
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:07,600
into thinking that it could 
never happen to you, therefore, 

173
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,200
you've never done anything that 
bad. 

174
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:12,900
You would never do what this 
person did and Elevate yourself 

175
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:14,700
with a haughty Spirit, don't do 
that. 

176
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Lest you also be tempted? 
I'm going to taste something 

177
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:24,200
anybody can fall. 
So do so with the spirit of 

178
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,000
gentleness consider yourself, 
lest you also be tempted but 

179
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,700
what about this? 
Bear one another's burdens. 

180
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:37,800
You know, one of the most 
powerful things that we have is 

181
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,800
each other. 
And it is true. 

182
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,200
It is true. 
That we bear one another's. 

183
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,200
Burdens in the word burdens 
means heavy. 

184
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,000
Loads, or heavy weights. 
That are hard to bear or carry. 

185
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,100
That's true. 
And it is true that in a general

186
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:55,700
sense. 
A Christian principle is to be 

187
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:57,800
there for each other and help 
each other get through stuff. 

188
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,200
That is true. 
But the context of this passage 

189
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,300
is specific and not General, 
it's talking about heavy burdens

190
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,300
that cause your brother, or your
sister to sin. 

191
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,500
That's what it's talking about. 
Help them through that. 

192
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,700
And really, that's exactly what 
the Bible is talking about. 

193
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:16,700
When it it says confess your 
trespasses or your sins to each 

194
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:20,300
other and pray one for another 
that you may be healed, the 

195
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:23,000
effective fervent prayer of a 
righteous man avails much. 

196
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,100
In other words have helped in 
getting through those times and 

197
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:31,200
struggles that we go through 
that our burdens that are lead 

198
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,100
us to sin and help each other in
that. 

199
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,600
And the Bible says, you fulfill 
the law of Christ. 

200
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:45,500
So helping people that go astray
is a religious thing Helping 

201
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:48,100
each other. 
Those that are spiritual. 

202
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:50,200
Do a religious thing. 
Bearing one another's. 

203
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,300
Burdens is fulfilling the law of
Christ, which is the law of 

204
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:57,000
love. 
One more idea of though in First

205
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,700
Peter chapter 2 and verse 5. 
The church is a spiritual 

206
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:06,100
Institution. 
In First Peter 2 and 5. 

207
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:09,700
You also as living stones are 
built up a spiritual house. 

208
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:12,100
So we're talking about that 
which is religious. 

209
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:13,900
We're talking about organized 
religion. 

210
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:16,400
We're talking about the church, 
the body of Christ. 

211
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,100
What does Peter say? 
It is a spiritual house. 

212
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,300
What are we doing the spiritual 
house? 

213
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:27,500
Where a holy priesthood and we 
offer up spiritual sacrifices, 

214
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,100
they go hand-in-hand. 
In our service to God 

215
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,300
worshiping. 
God involves our self in 

216
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,800
religious activities. 
You cannot be spiritual without 

217
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,900
being religious as well going 
back to John chapter 4 and verse

218
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:47,200
24. 
Once More Jesus said, God is a 

219
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,100
spirit and they that worship Him
must worship Him in spirit. 

220
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:55,700
And in truth, the idea of in 
spirit is the very idea of being

221
00:13:55,700 --> 00:14:00,000
spiritual and in truth is 
talking about religious. 

222
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:04,600
SLI another words. 
What the internal is here 

223
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:09,800
manifest itself in the external 
and we talked about the heart, 

224
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,000
right? 
People struggle with things in 

225
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,300
their life, it's because they 
don't fix it on the inside. 

226
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:16,800
Everything is about that. 
It's about the inside and the 

227
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,500
outside, and they go together 
the internals and the externals 

228
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:23,400
and they're both there. 
What does God want them in? 

229
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,200
Conclusion. 
God wants us to be both 

230
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,000
spiritual. 
And also religious do you know 

231
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,900
why? 
Because you can't be one without

232
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:37,600
the other. 
Now I want to just say one final

233
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,900
thing. 
Sometimes people that profess 

234
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:49,100
Christianity. 
Hurt the cause of Christ because

235
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:53,900
they're not spiritual. 
What I mean by that, is this, 

236
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,600
sometimes people profess 
religious things or they call 

237
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,900
themself a religious person or 
they're a part of some religious

238
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:07,200
affiliation but their life is 
not demonstrated in that they 

239
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,700
don't profess that at all. 
I'm going to give you one 

240
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:12,500
example years ago. 
There was a general contractor 

241
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:17,100
and he told me this he said any 
time that somebody a 

242
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:19,700
subcontractor has on their 
business card. 

243
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,900
Anything at all that resembles 
that there are He said I take 

244
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:27,900
that business card and I throw 
it in the trash and I said, why 

245
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:31,400
he says, because everyone that I
have dealt with that professes 

246
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,400
to be religious. 
Has been untruthful has lied and

247
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,500
has not been what they said that
they were. 

248
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,800
That's the damage that happens 
when our life does not manifest.

249
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,300
What we profess to be, we are 
religious people members of the 

250
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:50,500
body of Christ, but we also live
a spiritual life and we 

251
00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:54,700
demonstrate our spirituality in 
the things in which we do every 

252
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:56,500
day. 
God wants us to be both. 

253
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,400
Both spiritual and religious. 
I'm through this morning. 

254
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:05,800
I hope that something was said 
in this little short little 

255
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,200
lesson about the subject. 
If somebody asked the question, 

256
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,000
are you spiritual religious? 
You say I'm both because it 

257
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,100
takes both and they go together 
and you can't have one without 

258
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:17,100
the other. 
Are you here today and you're 

259
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:20,900
not a child of God? 
If you're not a child of God, 

260
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:23,500
you can become one today. 
Come believing in Jesus. 

261
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:26,900
Repent of your sins confess, his
name as the Son of God and be 

262
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:29,800
baptized in water for the 
remission of your sins.
