00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,500
Thanks for checking out the 
anchor Faith, Message podcast 

2
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:08,900
from st. 
Augustine, Florida. 

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,600
Now, enjoy this message. 
You know, I love being able to 

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,400
speak in the homebody where God 
has called me in place me and 

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,700
put me in the vision that I'm 
connected to. 

6
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:24,900
So I always appreciate the 
opportunity to do that. 

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,800
And tonight I want to start an 
Exodus 20 verse 1. 

8
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:33,900
For those of you who follow me 
on Instagram, you probably have 

9
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:36,400
a decent idea of where this is 
going because my last couple 

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,600
posts have been about what I've 
been studying because that tends

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,700
to be how my creative stuff 
goes. 

12
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:44,400
So Exodus 21 through 6 says then
God spoke. 

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,400
All these words saying I am the 
Lord your God who brought you 

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,600
out of the land of Egypt out of 
the house of slavery and you 

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,900
shall have no other gods before 
me. 

16
00:00:55,900 --> 00:01:00,100
You shall not make for yourself 
an idol or any likeness Us of 

17
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:03,700
what is in heaven above or on 
the earth beneath or in the 

18
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:08,100
water under the Earth You shall 
not worship them or serve them 

19
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:10,800
for I the Lord your God am a 
jealous God. 

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,300
Visiting the iniquity of your 
father of the fathers of the 

21
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:18,400
children on the 3rd and the 4th 
generations of those who hate me

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,100
but showing loving, kindness to 
thousands to those who love me 

23
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:26,200
and keep my Commandments. 
All right, the first of the Ten 

24
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,800
Commandments was Thou shalt have
no other gods. 

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,100
Gods. 
Before me or no other Idols. 

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,700
So tonight, I want to talk about
stationary gods. 

27
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:41,400
Because, you know, coming off a 
couple weeks ago, Pastor spoke a

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,500
great message called drive it 
out, and he talked about the 

29
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:45,800
flesh, right? 
He talked about how you have to 

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,200
conquer our flesh and you know, 
obviously I think sometimes, you

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,400
know, we, we can think. 
Yeah, I got to conquer, my 

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,700
flesh, got to conquer my sand, 
but then we don't really look at

33
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,700
all the things in our life that 
really take our time. 

34
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,700
Right? 
We don't really sit down. 

35
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:08,300
It's easy to kind of sit down, 
and like, evaluate yourself a 

36
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:12,400
lot and like, look at, like, the
big sins, right finger quotes 

37
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:15,900
big sins, right? 
Things like everyone knows like,

38
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:18,200
you know, I'm not supposed to 
kill someone. 

39
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:21,800
Shouldn't it be murdering, like 
me, I'm sitting out like, man, I

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,400
gotta stop murdering people 
obviously you know like 

41
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,500
definitely you have to do that 
for sure. 

42
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:32,500
Right? 
And so we can get caught and we 

43
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,000
can sit and like oh I'm gonna 
evaluate my life and like well 

44
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,100
I'm not killing people so you 
know, like I'm doing. 

45
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:41,200
All right. 
All right, like I'm fine, I'm 

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,900
not killing people. 
But the first commandment God 

47
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:45,800
gave in the Ten Commandments was
not. 

48
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,800
It's not murder. 
Which means in the list of The 

49
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,300
Commandments he gave that wasn't
at the top. 

50
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,900
It was Thou shalt not put any 
gods or Idols before me. 

51
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,900
So what is an idol? 
Then write an idol. 

52
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:06,300
If get some definitions out here
is Extreme admiration. 

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,800
Love or reverence for something 
or someone. 

54
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,400
Extreme admiration love or 
reverence for something or 

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:26,200
someone. or when something in 
your life becomes more important

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:33,200
to you, than God, And I'll break
it down a little bit further. 

57
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,700
Because that statement along can
be like, oh well nothing's more 

58
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:38,700
important than God. 
But as we're going to see a lot 

59
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:41,500
of times, it's not that we 
instantly think these things are

60
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:43,900
more important than us. 
Then God. 

61
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:48,600
But it's the things that prove 
out to be more important to us 

62
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:54,200
than God, right. 
You know so we have to keep an 

63
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,900
eye on where we put our time. 
Where we put our talents and 

64
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:02,400
where we put our Treasures, 
right? 

65
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,400
Because where you put your time,
your talents and your treasure 

66
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,500
is where your heart truly is. 
Right. 

67
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:17,200
And it if we reduce God to 
Sunday and Wednesday, That I'm 

68
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,600
telling you. 
Now, you have an idol. 

69
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:23,500
If you only do God on Sunday and
Wednesday, there is no chance. 

70
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,800
He's getting all of your time 
talent and treasure. 

71
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:33,000
I mean just just mathematically,
no chance. 

72
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:38,400
Right. 
And when it comes to Idols, you 

73
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,200
know, because and this is what I
love to do, especially when I'm 

74
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,800
speaking with youth because, you
know, for me, one of the biggest

75
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,400
things when I was in Youth and 
eat, even something I do now is,

76
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,400
you know, the Bible, especially,
like, King James and all that 

77
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,600
can seem like so crazy. 
We think idols, and I was like, 

78
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,200
oh, you know, there's like an 
idol, right? 

79
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,400
Like Idols, obviously aren't 
just like literal things that 

80
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,300
you're putting up at shrines in 
your house and like bowing 

81
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:02,900
before, right? 
Like, that's obviously, the 

82
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:05,400
go-ahead was like, Idols, like, 
oh, I have no Idols in my house 

83
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,900
and I Pure vital as well. 
Obviously, you probably don't 

84
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:09,300
have. 
I mean, some of you might have 

85
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:11,000
like a statue and then get rid 
of it. 

86
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:14,100
But, you know, for most people 
like you read, Thou shalt not 

87
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:15,500
have an Idols jeans. 
Any kind of check out. 

88
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:18,600
Like, I'm good, right? 
I don't have anything, you know 

89
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:20,400
I love an idol in my house, 
right? 

90
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,400
But obviously Idols aren't just 
things that are silver or gold, 

91
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,800
right? 
They could be paper or they 

92
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,900
could be something that's just 
in your heart. 

93
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Right Ezekiel. 14 1 through 5 
says, then some Elders of 

94
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Israel. 
Came to me and set down before 

95
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,800
me and the word of the Lord came
to me saying, son of, man, these

96
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,900
men have set up their Idols in 
their hearts and have put right 

97
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:51,000
before their faces, the 
stumbling block of their 

98
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,400
iniquity. 
Should I be consulted by them at

99
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,600
all? 
Therefore, speak to them and 

100
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,600
tell them thus says the Lord 
God. 

101
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:03,600
Any Man Of The House of Israel 
who sets up his idols in his 

102
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,400
heart, and puts right before his
face, the stumbling block of his

103
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,700
iniquity, and then comes to the 
prophet. 

104
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:14,700
I the Lord will be brought to 
give him an answer in the metal 

105
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:18,200
matter in the view of the 
multitude of his idols. 

106
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:22,900
In order to lay, hold of the 
heart of the House of Israel, 

107
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:28,100
who estranged from me, through 
all of the idol of their Idols, 

108
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,600
right? 
So God saying, look, when they 

109
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,800
come to a prophet or they come 
to me, I'm going to address them

110
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:40,400
by the idols in their heart. 
Right? 

111
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:45,100
Idols are the things we put our 
time and value in, right? 

112
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,400
So when you put your time and 
value in all these things and 

113
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,000
then you come to God guys, like 
I'm going to address you by the 

114
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,500
idol, you have in your heart. 
Right. 

115
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:01,400
You know, I think this was 
timely because, you know, it had

116
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,100
me chewing on it, coming out of 
Pastor series on the route of 

117
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:06,600
love, right? 
And obviously phenomenal series 

118
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,000
for everyone in the house, he 
was here. 

119
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,600
If not go to guest relations, 
there's a QR code that you can 

120
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,600
scan to catch up on the whole 
series, right? 

121
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,600
But it also got me thinking, you
know, because we broke, you 

122
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,300
know, Pastor did such a 
phenomenal job, breaking down 

123
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:22,300
the route of the love of God, 
but then I was like well what is

124
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:26,100
the root of my love? 
Towards God. 

125
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:32,400
You know, where does my love for
God? 

126
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:38,200
Really lie. 
Because just, as we can turn the

127
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,200
love of God into this big 
flippant thing. 

128
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,100
We can also take how we express,
love towards God, and make it 

129
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:46,000
seem way, more than it really 
is. 

130
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,900
Right? 
Because it can be hard sometimes

131
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:55,800
to instantly equate, how we 
treat God to how we love, God to

132
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,100
how much we love God, when, when
you have like an actual physical

133
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:03,300
person here and like, me, and my
wife Alyssa, I can easily equate

134
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:05,300
my love for her. 
I can show it for her. 

135
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:06,600
She's here. 
She can see it. 

136
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,600
She can explain it. 
She can back it up. 

137
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,800
She can defend, how much I love 
her. 

138
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:13,700
If I go around and telling her 
how much I loved it, you could 

139
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:15,300
ask Alyssa me. 
Like does Chase really love you 

140
00:08:15,308 --> 00:08:18,300
and she could tell, you know, he
doesn't he never shows me once 

141
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,000
right. 
There's like an instant thing 

142
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,700
there, I go around saying I love
God, all I love is God. 

143
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:27,500
Right. 
So it's a lot easier for us to 

144
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:30,000
just kind of like oh I love God 
but then if you kind of think if

145
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,200
the way my relationship with God
was with an actual person, would

146
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,900
that person still want to be 
around me? 

147
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:44,700
With what God In the Flesh. 
Right here in our relationship, 

148
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:47,700
actually amount to a real 
relationship. 

149
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,300
Or am I just the needy friend 
who approaches when I really 

150
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:58,900
need something? 
And I keep them around because 

151
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:03,400
when I need something I want to 
know they're there and so I'll 

152
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,300
show them enough attention to 
make it seem like we're really 

153
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:13,600
connected. 
So that when I do come I feel 

154
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,300
okay about it. 
All right. 

155
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:27,800
John 14:23 says, Jesus answered 
them and said, if anyone loves 

156
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:37,400
me, he will keep my word. 
If anyone loves me, he will keep

157
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,000
my word, which means I cannot 
say that I love God. 

158
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,800
But not put all of my Time 
treasure and talent in him 

159
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,700
first. 
Because if his word says look, 

160
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:51,900
you can't have other gods beside
me. 

161
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,500
You can't have stationary God's 
what are stationary guys there. 

162
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:59,100
Things that don't actually do 
anything but yet we think they 

163
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:02,600
do. 
Right? 

164
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,400
It's something you put on a 
pedestal and you think this 

165
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,100
thing affects you somehow, but 
it's really not doing anything 

166
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:12,500
for you. 
Right? 

167
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:15,900
And we can sit and try to hide 
that we've got something going 

168
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:18,900
on, but the truth is, God knows 
our heart. 

169
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,100
Right. 
Hebrews 4:13 says and there is 

170
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:25,800
no creature hidden from his 
sight but all things are open 

171
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:30,500
and laid bare to the eyes of him
with whom we have to do. 

172
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,600
Which means you can put on a 
show for everyone else around, 

173
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,900
but God knows where your time 
actually is. 

174
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,900
God knows where your time 
actually that, you know, I get 

175
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:49,000
to teach in Kingdom, astute. 
And I tell my students all the 

176
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,900
time the test is after this, 
right? 

177
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,200
You can show up here, you can 
check off. 

178
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,400
You read your Bible. 
Reading plan. 

179
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,100
You can tell me. 
You read the extra book for the 

180
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:00,900
class. 
You can give me an answer that I

181
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:02,700
want to hear. 
So that I can say, yes, they 

182
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:06,300
learn something, but if you 
don't actually go apply in life,

183
00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:13,000
after then you've really failed.
Right? 

184
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,500
And so if God knows our heart 
and it's laid bare before him, 

185
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:20,600
then you can go out and do 
whatever you want during church 

186
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,900
and Wednesday and at like you 
love them and be down here, 

187
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:23,700
praying. 
All you want. 

188
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:27,000
And worship and saying, Jesus, 
we love you and they not doing 

189
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,800
it again till the next service 
time. 

190
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,400
And then when someone asks how 
everything's going, you can say 

191
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,000
it's great. 
Oh yeah, you know, I'm all up to

192
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,800
dama by replaying. 
I've been, you know, doing all 

193
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,100
this kind of stuff and they 
won't be like all great. 

194
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:41,100
That's awesome. 
But you know, you're not 

195
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:49,400
actually putting time in it. 
You know, you're not actually 

196
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:54,400
putting time in it. 
Proverbs 4:23 says, watch over 

197
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,000
your heart with all diligence 
for from it flow. 

198
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,700
The Springs of Life, Idols in 
the Bible was one of. 

199
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:06,100
It's like one of the most talked
about things to watch out for. 

200
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,900
It's gone from Old Testament. 
We're going to show you in the 

201
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:15,200
New Testament but it just 
continually carried to not have 

202
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,500
Idols. 
Don't worship any God before me.

203
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:20,800
Don't Fall into idolatry. 
Don't let something be coming 

204
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,400
out. 
Why? 

205
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,600
Because we like, to think of it,
idles as these big things, but 

206
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,600
the truth is Idols can spread 
across so many categories. 

207
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:35,400
They can spread across so many 
categories, and here's some new.

208
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,500
Let's get some new testament 
stuff in here for you first 

209
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:41,300
John. 5:18 first John 5 18 
through 21. 

210
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:46,300
The Amplified version says, we 
know with confidence that anyone

211
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:49,300
born of God does not have 
habitually sin. 

212
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,400
But he Jesus, who has born, who 
has born of God, carefully keeps

213
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,600
and protects him and the evil. 
One does not touch him. 

214
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,200
We know for a fact that we are 
of God and the whole world 

215
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,800
around us lies in the power of 
the evil. 

216
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,800
One opposing God and His 
precepts. 

217
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,500
And we have seen and no by 
personal experience that the Son

218
00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:18,700
of God has actually come to this
world and has given us 

219
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:22,200
understanding and insight. 
So that we may progressively and

220
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,800
personally I know him who is 
true and we are in him. 

221
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,000
Who is true in his son? 
Jesus Christ. 

222
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000
This is the true God. 
And eternal life. 

223
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:39,200
Little children, Believers dear 
ones guard yourselves from 

224
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,000
Idols, false teaching, moral 
compromises and anything that 

225
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,400
would take God's place in your 
heart. 

226
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:54,100
I like how this starts with, we 
know with confidence that we are

227
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:58,900
born of God, do not habitually 
sin, but we who are of God, keep

228
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:01,200
protect over and we can't let 
the evil one touch us and it 

229
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:03,800
gives you all this confidence 
but then still at the end after 

230
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,400
all that it says, but Don't fall
into idolatry. 

231
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:12,300
Meaning, even with all of that, 
that you've got the ability to 

232
00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:15,400
fall inside Dollar, Tree is 
still right there. 

233
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:21,600
Why? 
Because time can be wasted so 

234
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,300
quickly. 
Right. 

235
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,000
You, I mean, how many people 
lose track have lost track of 

236
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,400
time in such a way that you're 
like, holy crap? 

237
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,200
It's so late. 
Now, I'm here. 

238
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,600
When I first got married, 
Alyssa, got pregnant with our 

239
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,900
first daughter, London. 
And she was going would come 

240
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:43,100
home from work and then be like 
tired at like 6:30 going to bed,

241
00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:45,800
right? 
Six six thirty in the afternoon 

242
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,200
going to bed. 
Obviously I'm not getting in bed

243
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,500
at 6:30, an afternoon. 
Like that's insane like this way

244
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:53,400
too early, like what? 
So I'm just like, okay well you 

245
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,700
know, good night. 
We got married at guess what? 

246
00:14:56,700 --> 00:15:00,400
18 had her at 19. 
So I was still really young, you

247
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,800
know, getting used to all the 
marriage stuff anyways, but she 

248
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,200
goes bad, I was like, you know, 
not great. 

249
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:09,800
I'm gonna play video games All 
right, I have some my own time. 

250
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:12,000
I can just sit here, I can play 
my game. 

251
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,400
She's asleep. 
She wakes up, we'll take care of

252
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,800
that but like she can't get mad.
I'm not losing family time. 

253
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,300
This is the perfect opportunity 
for me to jump into a game. 

254
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,700
Alright, so I start playing Been
playing for a while now. 

255
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:26,800
I know I've been playing for a 
while but I'm just in there 

256
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,800
playing, finally get to the 
point like, you know, I'm kind 

257
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,000
of hungry. 
I should probably go get 

258
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,900
something to eat, didn't eat 
dinner, I just started playing 

259
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:34,800
when she went to bed, like 
walk-in to the kitchen, you 

260
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,200
know, the time, the house we're 
living in. 

261
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,300
Had like, you know, one of the 
kitchens with the, with the 

262
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,300
window right above it. 
So you can see the backyard. 

263
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,600
And so I grab something out of 
the fridge. 

264
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,400
And I grab some water on the 
sink, and I look up and the sun 

265
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:54,600
is rising. 
Now, I was like, I remember, 

266
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,000
just, like quickly putting down 
my glass and like running to the

267
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,800
room. 
Like, I was going to get more 

268
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,600
sleep. 
So I like getting bed and like 

269
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,300
Alyssa is like, you just get a 
like, no, I just got up to get 

270
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:07,300
some water. 
My alarm goes off in like 30 

271
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:10,000
minutes. 
Ryan is like so quickly. 

272
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,500
It went from 6:30 at night to 
6:30, like in the morning and I 

273
00:16:14,508 --> 00:16:18,200
was just like, where did time 
go? 

274
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,500
Like I just lost time so 
quickly, right? 

275
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:25,400
Like even, you know, I went 
through a season where I started

276
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,300
waking up super early to go to 
the gym, like five in the 

277
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:30,300
morning and then you get to a 
point where like, you know, it's

278
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:32,300
Saturday and you wake up at 8 
and you just feel like you've 

279
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:36,300
lost so much of the morning. 
Like my whole day is gone. 

280
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,600
Why? 
Because that time is really 

281
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,300
seems like it's amazing how much
more you can get done in just 

282
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:48,000
that short amount of time, 
right? 

283
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:50,800
Then obviously when you enjoy 
things, you know how much longer

284
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,100
like how quick they go by, you 
know, you get involved in like a

285
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:56,300
good movie and next thing you 
know she's like over but then 

286
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:58,400
when you watch like a kind of 
crappy movie, all of a sudden, 

287
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,800
it's just like man has only been
30 minutes. 

288
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,099
Like, I feel like I've been in 
this theater forever, how are we

289
00:17:04,099 --> 00:17:07,599
only 30 minutes into this thing?
You know, what is going on? 

290
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:13,099
All right, so time is this kind 
of funny thing but because of 

291
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:16,700
that, it's so easy to lose track
of where you're putting your 

292
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:18,900
time. 
When I was in high school, we 

293
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:21,800
did this kind of like silly 
little thing, but it stuck with 

294
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,400
me and we had to draw like a 
circle and then turn it into 

295
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,700
like a pie. 
Slices like 24 lines, there's 24

296
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:31,600
hours in a day and then like 
give you a crown like, okay? 

297
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:35,000
Now like how much how many 
slices worth of like TV? 

298
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,200
Do you watch, right? 
I mean, like, you color, and 

299
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,900
like the pizzas and you're like,
okay. 

300
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:43,200
Wow man. 6 hours is a big chunk 
of this 24-hour, you know thing,

301
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,600
right? 
You know, I won't do this in 

302
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,400
here because I don't think it 
would have the same effect. 

303
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,500
But, you know, every once in a 
while, I like to grab people's 

304
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:52,000
phones in the youth, especially 
and be like, let me see your 

305
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,400
screen time. 
Okay. 

306
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:01,100
I quiet people like wait. 
Hey yeah, it's amazing. 

307
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:03,400
How many people don't have the 
Bible app on their screen time? 

308
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,800
Like not even 10 minutes, not 
even enough to register. 

309
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,500
And then when you do it on a 
Wednesday night, it's even 

310
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:11,200
better because it starts on like
Monday. 

311
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,600
And I remember one time I opened
this one, one girl's phone and 

312
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:20,900
she had 48 Hours on tick tock. 
In three days, she spent two 

313
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:28,600
days worth of time, on Tick. 
Tock looks like, What? 

314
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:32,100
It's not like it's not you too 
but I don't just play in the 

315
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:33,700
background. 
Like what are you doing? 

316
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,700
How are you spending that much 
time, right? 

317
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:41,000
But time can go by so fast. 
And so that's why I think when 

318
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,500
it came to Idols, it was so 
important that they wanted to 

319
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:47,600
stress it because where your 
time is is where you value. 

320
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,500
And so you can so quickly start 
placing more time and other 

321
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:54,300
things, right? 
Because you always seem to have 

322
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:57,700
time to do the things you really
want to do, but you never really

323
00:18:57,700 --> 00:18:59,700
seem to have time to start that 
others. 

324
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,100
Spiritual book that you were 
supposed to be reading. 

325
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,300
You know, I mean, I've done it 
myself. 

326
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:09,400
I'm not a huge reader. 
Like I really wanted to be like,

327
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,500
I felt like it would fit like me
to be like a reader to like 

328
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:15,200
travel somewhere, like, read a 
book out in like, you know, like

329
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,400
in the land but that sure was 
like, I don't love it. 

330
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,900
Like I want to love it, but I'd 
rather just see the movie, you 

331
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:23,500
know? 
Like it was like the books way 

332
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:24,700
better than the movies. 
Like, you know what? 

333
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:28,500
But the movie can be seen, you 
know, when I have to just do it 

334
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:31,100
in my mind, like, it's fine, 
I've imagination. 

335
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:33,200
But, you know, I'd rather just 
actually see it. 

336
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:36,600
Right. 
But, you know, at the same time,

337
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:40,500
you know, I can start, you know,
like one of a book that I know I

338
00:19:40,508 --> 00:19:42,100
should read this gonna build me 
up spiritually and then it's 

339
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:44,500
like, within 15 minutes. 
I'm feeling like so tired no 

340
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:46,500
matter what's going on. 
I was like, I just finished a 

341
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:49,800
coffee, just had a Red Bull, 
like I'm ready to read. 

342
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:53,100
I've got the readings owned in, 
I got my glasses on and then 

343
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:56,800
it's like, goodbye, I'm asleep, 
right? 

344
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,100
But on the few occasions that 
I've read, like, just like 

345
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:00,900
random fiction books that I've 
enjoyed. 

346
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:03,400
It's like, you can get sucked 
into that thing, right? 

347
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,600
You find a good enough. 
Story. 

348
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,200
You can get sucked into 
something. 

349
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:08,400
I mean, I got like one book and 
I was like reading it and then I

350
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,000
can always just bug me some like
why can I not just get like this

351
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,300
with this other book? 
Like I need someone to just 

352
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:20,500
write really good fiction books 
that are actually spiritually 

353
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:23,500
built books so that I just 
tricked myself into reading it. 

354
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:27,300
You're like I feel like that 
would work but no, there is a 

355
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:33,400
discipline that comes with it. 
Because that discipline builds 

356
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,300
us up. 
Because just like, with anything

357
00:20:37,300 --> 00:20:42,000
else, as I start to then read 
and get in the habit of reading 

358
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,800
and make it an important part of
what I'm doing. 

359
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:47,500
Then, I actually start to look 
forward to it. 

360
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,700
I do feel like, man, this is a 
great book. 

361
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:51,700
I need to finish this. 
I'm learning so much from this 

362
00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:54,000
thing. 
Like I'm getting this thing 

363
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,400
down, right? 
And so builds up that moat that 

364
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,900
mode of Romans, 18 1:18 says 
this for the wrath of God is 

365
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:04,800
revealed from Heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness 

366
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,200
of men who suppress the truth in
unrighteousness, because that 

367
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,000
which is known about God is 
evident within them for God made

368
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,000
it evident to them for since the
creation of the world, his 

369
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,200
invisible attributes, his 
eternal power and divine nature.

370
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:26,700
Have been clearly seen being 
understood through what has been

371
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:31,100
made so that they are without 
excuse for. 

372
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:36,000
Even though they knew God, they 
did not honor him as God or 

373
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,100
give, thanks, but they become 
became futile in their 

374
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:43,600
speculations and they were 
foolish and their foolish heart 

375
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,800
was darkened. 
Professing to be wise, they 

376
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,100
became fools and exchanged, the 
glory of The Incorruptible, God 

377
00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:55,600
for an image in the form of 
corruptible, man, and of birds 

378
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,200
and four-footed animals crawling
creatures. 

379
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:02,700
Therefore, God gave them over in
the lusts of their hearts to 

380
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:06,400
impurity so that their bodies 
would be Dishonored among them 

381
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:10,900
for they exchanged the truth of 
God, for a lie and worshipped 

382
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:14,700
and served the creature rather 
than the Creator. 

383
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:21,500
Who is blessed forever? 
Amen. right, so if we're talking

384
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:26,900
about where we put our time, And
we're talking about where things

385
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:30,000
can become Idols. 
Like I said, I think it's always

386
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,600
easy for us to jump into like 
big things. 

387
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,500
You know, we're always like, oh 
well, you know, if I'm murdering

388
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:37,200
someone that's wrong, if I want 
to murder someone all the time 

389
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,600
and I think about it all the 
time, like I've got a murder 

390
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,300
Idol or whatever like, that's 
obviously wrong anything about. 

391
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:44,600
Like, obviously, I want to jump 
something like all the lust of 

392
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,000
money, right. 
Like just wanting money is so 

393
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,800
bad like it's greedy. 
You know you can't love God and 

394
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,400
Mammon, right? 
And those are like ones that 

395
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,100
just jump in big and that, you 
know, it's a bad one, right? 

396
00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:59,700
But you know, Idols can also be 
things that aren't, you know, 

397
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:05,500
bad of themselves. 
Right, success is great. 

398
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,400
Until it starts. 
Costing you services. 

399
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:13,900
Right. 
Success is great. 

400
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:20,300
Until all you do is drive for 
the next success and you let all

401
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:25,200
of your spiritual life fall 
behind chasing after worldly, 

402
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,500
success. 
Right. 

403
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,100
And we've seen this done time 
and time again. 

404
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:33,900
Someone gets a promotion like, 
oh, I got a new job is going to 

405
00:23:33,908 --> 00:23:37,100
take me, you know, but I've got 
to go to Wisconsin. 

406
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:40,600
You like okay, well you is there
a church over there is like no, 

407
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,500
I haven't found one but you know
it's jobs a blessing like it's 

408
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:47,100
huge. 
Like is it? 

409
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,200
Right. 
But when success becomes an 

410
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,800
idol, it becomes hard to see 
clearly. 

411
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,100
That it's actually not a 
blessing. 

412
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,800
And this is why I think Idol 
idolatry was talked about so 

413
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,600
much, because they can be 
positive things that you just 

414
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600
didn't start to Value more than 
God. 

415
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:12,000
Right. 
Family time is great. 

416
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,700
Why being with your family is 
great. 

417
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:21,700
But there's a lot of people 
who've made family and Idol in 

418
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:28,800
their life. 
You know, I love my family but 

419
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,400
my family raised me knowing that
we don't skip church. 

420
00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:38,400
It's amazing to me. 
How many parents just let their 

421
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,600
kids skip services. 
Oh well, they got practice, man.

422
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,400
I played football. 
And I came to service late and 

423
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,200
stinky, because my dad said, 
hey, if you want to play that's 

424
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:56,500
fine, but we still go to church,
because if you can make it 

425
00:24:56,500 --> 00:25:02,200
there, you can make it here. 
Why it was value that was 

426
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,800
instilled in me that said, you 
know, there is it's just as 

427
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,000
important and half, you know, 
half these kids ain't gonna make

428
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,800
it pro anyways, right? 
Like I don't even get it, I'm 

429
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,200
not gonna jump on it. 
That's fine, right? 

430
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,100
I know. 
It's a sensitive subject. 

431
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:20,100
Everyone loves their kid. 
Like, my kids, the most, I've 

432
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:23,100
never there's this real on 
Instagram and there's like, this

433
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:25,200
is Mom. 
And she's like that boy right 

434
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,700
there, he's gonna be an athlete,
he's gonna go pro and then the 

435
00:25:28,700 --> 00:25:30,000
guys like about swallowing 
throws a Time. 

436
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,200
It's the kid in the face. 
It's like completely misery like

437
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,200
that's mom's for you. 
You know, but we put our kids 

438
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,600
and all of this stuff and then 
we start letting a Miss service 

439
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,700
because of this stuff that 
requires it and then they don't 

440
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:47,700
come back to church after high 
school and we're like, oh man, 

441
00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:49,700
why don't why are you leaving 
the church? 

442
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:54,800
Because you showed them that 
success, in the world was more 

443
00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:01,100
valuable than the service time 
on Wednesday, you started the 

444
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:07,400
creation of an idol. 
And place it in front of them. 

445
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,800
Your health and fitness, right? 
Really important. 

446
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,000
Being healthy, being able to 
accomplish the things God has 

447
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,800
called you to, do is super 
important. 

448
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,400
You know, there be nothing worse
than the find out, God's called 

449
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,400
you to do something and you just
physically, couldn't do it 

450
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,800
because you didn't keep yourself
in shape. 

451
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:32,900
But when never Skip Leg Day 
doesn't carry over to never skip

452
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:40,800
service. 
Then we've made our fitness and 

453
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,100
Idol. 
And it's crazy. 

454
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:46,500
It's amazing. 
Like, you know I've never 

455
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:49,000
achieved just like a great 
Fitness level. 

456
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:52,000
I've just never gotten there 
yet. 

457
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:56,300
We're working on it, but I'm 
always Blown Away how dedicated 

458
00:26:56,300 --> 00:26:59,600
those people can become. 
And in your like if you just put

459
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,700
like half of that, turns towards
the world, the word you'd be 

460
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:07,400
doing great. 
Right. 

461
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,600
You know, you got that person 
who comes to the party and 

462
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,400
everyone's like eating cakes and
there's like birthday cakes 

463
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,900
everywhere and they just like 
stand there. 

464
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:18,000
They grab like a great and they 
eat the one grape me like I'm 

465
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:23,200
good and they Walker's like what
who does that? 

466
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,800
Like I'm ever so it was like so 
discipline and walk up and be 

467
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,500
like a cake and they take one by
the came back. 

468
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:29,300
That was good and not touch any 
more. 

469
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,500
Just like that's insane. 
At least finish the piece like 

470
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:38,300
how you just got to take one 
bite and be like, that's a great

471
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:40,200
cake. 
I don't need anymore. 

472
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,800
Like do I make a thing of 
brownies? 

473
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,100
If the kids don't finish the 
Browning, I'm finishing, the 

474
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,800
brother that fact we made 
brownies other day, all the kids

475
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,900
had a brownie. 
I had two brownies and then, 

476
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:52,800
like, the next day, there was 
one brownie left. 

477
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,300
I mean, are walked in from 
lunch, and I looked all the 

478
00:27:55,300 --> 00:27:58,700
girls because the whole surprise
said that brownie is my brownie.

479
00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:04,400
So don't even think about it. 
I know how these kids don't let 

480
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,300
me just have a bike for kids one
by I have no brownie left. 

481
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:14,000
Right, you got sometimes. 
You got to put the hammer down. 

482
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:20,400
Like I baked those by right of 
creation, that is mine. 

483
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,000
You know, the people who get in 
the fitness, man, it's amazing. 

484
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,100
They put their flesh down. 
To keep themselves in a certain 

485
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:36,200
look that they want. 
But then when they're feeling a 

486
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,900
little off, they pulled 
something in their back, they're

487
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:40,900
like oh you know back hurts. 
I could probably still do legs 

488
00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:44,100
though. 
But I'm going to need a rest it 

489
00:28:44,100 --> 00:28:45,700
so I can't go to service this 
morning. 

490
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,600
We're forming idols and we're 
not noticing it. 

491
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,700
Alright, friends are important. 
Until you find yourself going to

492
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:06,300
your friends for advice before. 
God see, I love having good 

493
00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:08,800
friends but I tell you this, 
when I go to friends for advice,

494
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,600
I'm looking for either 
confirmation on something. 

495
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,100
I've already heard and for them 
to give me worthy of us is going

496
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:16,900
to fact, the decision. 
I've already kind of got or for 

497
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:19,000
them to tell me. 
I'm stupid and what off, but 

498
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,700
it's not because I'm looking for
an answer from them. 

499
00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:24,500
It's because I'm, I think I have
something. 

500
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,700
From God and I need that support
of a friend with me. 

501
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,500
Right? 
But we can take friends and then

502
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:38,700
we start running to them so 
much. 

503
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:43,600
That they become our God. 
Now, you might not ever say that

504
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,300
oh I would never never. 
Oh no, never. 

505
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Then you text your prayer to 
them. 

506
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:55,500
Dear so-and-so. 
What should I do? 

507
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:03,200
As a friend. 
Give good advice if you're 

508
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,100
selling spraying Lake and you 
notice it. 

509
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:06,900
You should be like, you know 
what, have you gone to God 

510
00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:10,300
first? 
Be a good friend. 

511
00:30:12,300 --> 00:30:15,500
Culture. 
Can become an idol. 

512
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:19,900
There's nothing wrong with 
having cultural influences, 

513
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,000
right? 
You can all be in cult 

514
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:24,500
influenced by the culture around
you, the things you're into the 

515
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:27,300
the way you were raised, the 
places you were raised in and I 

516
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:29,700
think you should embrace where 
you were born but when the 

517
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:33,200
culture of where you are from is
so much more evident than the 

518
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:42,000
kingdom culture. 
Then we made the culture of 

519
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:49,200
something an idol. 
I mean it's crazy to me. 

520
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,700
How many people can keep up with
just like everything a 

521
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:59,000
celebrity's doing? 
You know it's like they just 

522
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000
know they like got this person's
agenda. 

523
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,400
Oh yeah. 
So and so they you know they 

524
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,500
started this company they wake 
up at 6 a.m. every day. 

525
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:10,800
You know, this is the thing 
about the new, the new wave of 

526
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,600
like social media. 
Everybody wants to know what 

527
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,300
someone else successful is doing
so that then they can do it 

528
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:18,400
right. 
It's like, oh, that person's 

529
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,600
really successful and they're 
going to tell you. 

530
00:31:19,608 --> 00:31:21,500
This is what I do every day, I 
wake up at six. 

531
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:29,700
Protein shake. 
Then I go take a cold ice bath. 

532
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,500
They say five minutes. 
I say no 15, I'm a 15-minute ice

533
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:39,500
bath guy. 
Then another protein shake. 

534
00:31:44,700 --> 00:31:46,800
It's 6:00. 
I've already had one day. 

535
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,200
You wake up at 2 days 
compounding math? 

536
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,700
Anyone seen that one? 
I don't even get it. 

537
00:31:56,900 --> 00:31:59,100
I've lived so many people now. 
Giving advice. 

538
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:01,900
You know, I've always thought it
was funny. 

539
00:32:01,900 --> 00:32:04,200
It's like this person 
successful, they doing, you'll 

540
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,000
never be successful. 
Someone I was just doing what 

541
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,200
they did. 
You only ever make it where they

542
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,700
made, if I want to be the 
greatest and have to do 

543
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:15,100
something different. 
Right? 

544
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:19,200
And we can get so ingrained in 
trying to like, it's amazing how

545
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,400
many people will do, so much 
research and spend so much time 

546
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,300
in a subject and learn about 
what they need to know. 

547
00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:27,600
I need to get healthy in the 
watching YouTube videos and 

548
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,500
they're watching all this stuff 
and they're getting all this 

549
00:32:29,500 --> 00:32:32,500
information and then they don't 
apply a single bit of it. 

550
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,000
Well, we've all been around the 
person who has like the answer 

551
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,500
for everything, but has never 
actually done anything. 

552
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,800
Right. 
You're like oh yeah this is all 

553
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:47,900
you got to do it. 
This is what you're going to do 

554
00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:51,700
right here. 
And then they don't, they're 

555
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:53,300
just going to tell you they're 
not going to physically do it 

556
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:55,700
themselves because then they 
would have to like, actually try

557
00:32:55,700 --> 00:32:59,700
it. 
You know. 

558
00:33:01,300 --> 00:33:06,800
So if we're not careful, then we
can start making Idols of just 

559
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,200
culture and routine and and all 
these goals. 

560
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,000
You set are great. 
But when the goals just push you

561
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,900
further from God, then we start 
setting these worldly 

562
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:19,900
motivations at a higher place 
than our spiritual life. 

563
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:26,200
And see this, like I said, this 
is why I think Idols are so are 

564
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,600
so sneaky because they can be 
disguised as such positive 

565
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,500
things because like I said, you 
need to be healthy and fit. 

566
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,100
Right. 
You need to spend time with your

567
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:41,500
family, you need to have a good 
base of friends, you need to 

568
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,100
love your culture, you need to 
seek to be better than you are 

569
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:48,500
and have success in whatever 
you're doing because God called 

570
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:51,700
us to be successful. 
You shouldn't be staying in 

571
00:33:51,700 --> 00:33:55,800
settling for just garbage, 
right? 

572
00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:59,500
But at the same time, if we just
start pursuing any one of those 

573
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:03,100
individual things so much that 
it starts to pull us out. 

574
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:10,100
Of the source of our life. 
And being then you're going to 

575
00:34:10,108 --> 00:34:13,100
get tripped up and lost without 
even knowing it. 

576
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,900
Another one is yourself. 
I mean, self-esteem, super 

577
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:23,800
important believe in yourself, 
that's great. 

578
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:27,100
You should, you should be 
confident. 

579
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:30,300
You should be confident in 
yourself, but when you stop 

580
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:38,000
trying to see God's truth and 
you just have my truth, Right. 

581
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,600
Well, this is my truth. 
Still lie. 

582
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:53,699
Right now, we got to be firmly 
set in the word. 

583
00:34:57,300 --> 00:35:02,300
Matthew 6:33 says, but seek 
first, His kingdom and his 

584
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:06,400
righteousness. 
And all these things will be 

585
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:11,100
added to you having Idols in 
your life breaks, both of those.

586
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:17,700
Because an idol in your life. 
Takes your first seeking. 

587
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,600
And it gets you out of alignment
with God. 

588
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,400
So I can't say that I'm seeking 
first, the kingdom of God and 

589
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:32,300
his righteousness, but also be 
seeking first, something else. 

590
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,500
And the minute I start seeking 
first someone else. 

591
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,800
Now I'm breaking God's word to 
me. 

592
00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:46,600
Therefore, I'm no longer in 
alignment with his word, so now 

593
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:53,100
I'm not put that back up now. 
I don't have the right to have 

594
00:35:53,100 --> 00:35:57,600
all these things added to me. 
Because it says seek first, the 

595
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,500
kingdom of God, and his 
righteousness, and all these 

596
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:02,500
things, which means if I'm not 
seeking the kingdom and saying 

597
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:05,300
righteous, I don't qualify for 
the second half. 

598
00:36:12,500 --> 00:36:15,100
Right? 
And if we go back in Ezekiel, 

599
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:17,600
when they're talking about look 
it's of your heart. 

600
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,200
And God says, look when they 
come to me, I'm going to talk to

601
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:25,700
them based upon their idols. so 
that means every time we're 

602
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:33,400
going to God, when you have 
Idols in your life, you are 

603
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,300
cheating on God, and then 
bringing the partner to 

604
00:36:37,300 --> 00:36:42,600
everything you do. 
You're cheating on God. 

605
00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:46,700
And then bringing the person 
you're cheating on them to your 

606
00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:50,900
prayer. 
To your services to your events 

607
00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:54,900
to everywhere. 
You go rub it in his face. 

608
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:04,800
I mean there's real weight to 
that, like I said, I think 

609
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,900
sometimes, you know, we think 
God and is like, oh God, he's 

610
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,300
there. 
But if you were cheating on your

611
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:14,300
spouse and then bringing that 
person around with you, 

612
00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:29,100
everywhere you went. 
Why cuz First Corinthians 3:16 

613
00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:32,800
Says do you not know that you 
are a temple of God and that the

614
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:42,000
spirit of God dwells in you? 
so, when I have Idols in my 

615
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,500
life, I'm trying to bring 
something that's not of God's 

616
00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:52,900
nature. 
That's not of my nature. 

617
00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:04,900
It's no longer my nature. 
Right. 

618
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:06,900
We're like aw man. 
It seems like a lot. 

619
00:38:07,900 --> 00:38:12,300
Like I mean how can we really 
like honestly say like seek you 

620
00:38:12,300 --> 00:38:14,100
like, obviously I work eight 
hours a day. 

621
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:19,500
Like, that's a tower. 
I'm not telling you to boil this

622
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:23,100
down to Literal time hours 
because you have to work. 

623
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:27,000
All right, you got you. 
There's things that we have to 

624
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,300
do. 
But how do we spend then all the

625
00:38:30,300 --> 00:38:36,000
free time we have? 
But how do we also attack how 

626
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,600
we're working? 
Because do I go to work? 

627
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,800
And then just check out and it's
just like, oh, my buddies are 

628
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,000
here, and we're cussing. 
We're hanging out. 

629
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,100
We're doing all this kind of 
stuff. 

630
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:48,300
Or do I bring this new spirit 
and new nature with me everyday 

631
00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:54,700
to work. 
Right? 

632
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,300
Because if we're bringing these 
things around, you know, that's 

633
00:38:57,300 --> 00:39:03,100
how we stay in this. 
You know, simple things can can 

634
00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:05,300
change the trajectory of our 
lives so much. 

635
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,800
Now, I've told this story before
how, when we had our third 

636
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,200
daughter, Scottie, we were in a 
busy season at the church. 

637
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:18,100
And so, I started to pray that 
God would multiply my time with 

638
00:39:18,100 --> 00:39:22,700
my children and with my newborn 
baby that if I spent, you know, 

639
00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:25,900
30 minutes with her, it would be
like, I spent three hours and so

640
00:39:25,900 --> 00:39:28,000
on. 
Because I knew I wasn't going to

641
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,500
have as much time, but I knew I 
was doing what God told me to 

642
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:33,300
do. 
And so I held God, the look, if 

643
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:36,200
I'm doing what you call me to 
do, then you can't let this 

644
00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:39,600
Relationship fail. 
Right? 

645
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,400
Because if I'm in your purpose, 
doing what? 

646
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,500
Then you're not going to let 
this relationship fail. 

647
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:49,800
And I held him to that and for 
those who know me and have been 

648
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,200
around me, you know, Scotty is 
like my buddy. 

649
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,700
She is like, like the closest to
me, any of my daughters have 

650
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:00,300
ever been at. 
Such a young age. 

651
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,200
Right. 
Normally, when they're babies 

652
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,400
they want their mom, like 
they're all about their mom. 

653
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:06,700
And then it comes like a point 
that then I get to kind of swoop

654
00:40:06,700 --> 00:40:08,300
in and take that attention a 
little bit. 

655
00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:12,400
Right? 
But from the get-go, Scotty just

656
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,600
wanted to be with me, like, 
wanted me to hold her. 

657
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,400
Why? 
Because God honored, that prayer

658
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,900
and that time, and even though 
it wasn't as much time, as I did

659
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:25,900
spend with some other kids when 
they were newborn. 

660
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,400
He Amplified that it's those 
small moments. 

661
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,800
God can become so much more. 
Are you praying on your way to 

662
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,100
work? 
You know, what are you doing? 

663
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:43,900
When you have time start there? 
Start where you can. 

664
00:40:45,500 --> 00:40:49,000
I pray in the shower all the 
time, the majority of times. 

665
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,100
I speak, I get half of them in 
the shower. 

666
00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:55,000
You know I had read a quote from
this this Rider wants and he was

667
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,300
like look if you if you I set 
out to write, you know, one 

668
00:40:58,300 --> 00:41:00,200
chapter every day. 
He goes in, if I ever get stuck,

669
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,500
I should go take a shower, it 
was some days. 

670
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:05,600
I'll take 9 showers, he was, but
I always get a chapter. 

671
00:41:06,700 --> 00:41:09,600
And I not that that made me do 
it but it clicked and I was 

672
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,700
like, you know, I'm kind of like
that for me like I just get 

673
00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:16,500
stuff when I'm in the shower. 
I just feel like, I don't know, 

674
00:41:16,508 --> 00:41:18,400
maybe it's the water. 
Maybe it's the lowness, 

675
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,800
whatever. 
It is things just start popping 

676
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,100
up. 
You know, I've written tons of 

677
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:25,800
songs in the shower. 
My voice sounds better in there,

678
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:31,700
anyways. 
But it's about taking any time I

679
00:41:31,700 --> 00:41:35,600
can and how can I now make it 
valuable? 

680
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,500
Because like we said, earlier 
time is so easily. 

681
00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:47,100
Lost Now, are we trying to 
actually be paying attention to 

682
00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:50,600
our time? 
Because I'm just never been a 

683
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,000
big fan of when people tell me 
like they don't have enough 

684
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:59,700
time. because you do, Like 
there's always more time, right?

685
00:41:59,700 --> 00:42:03,300
You can always sleep, a little 
less wake up a little bit 

686
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:06,300
earlier, stay up. 
I mean if you just woke up one 

687
00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:09,000
hour earlier and went to bed, 
one hour later, you've instantly

688
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,800
got two more hours a day which 
is 14 hours a week. 

689
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:17,300
I've given you an entire 
basically days worth of time by 

690
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:23,900
adding two extra hours. 
Right? 

691
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:27,200
But the truth is it's not that 
we don't have enough time, is 

692
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,100
that? 
We just really don't value it 

693
00:42:29,100 --> 00:42:39,100
enough to give it the time. 
Because when we truly value 

694
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:41,600
something, we will put time into
it. 

695
00:42:43,300 --> 00:42:46,400
You cannot say you love 
something but then spend no time

696
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,000
doing it. 
Do you love the idea of 

697
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,800
something? 
A lot of people love the idea of

698
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:57,900
God. 
They love the blessings of God. 

699
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,800
But they don't really love the 
relationship or they would build

700
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:11,300
it. 
They would build it. 

701
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,800
Like I said, when we have Idols 
in our lives, we're letting 

702
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,600
something that is no longer our 
nature. 

703
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:26,800
Try to take over our nature. 
We're letting something that's 

704
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,800
not a bar Kingdom culture. 
Try to take plant and Who We 

705
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,900
Are. 
Because where you spend your 

706
00:43:34,900 --> 00:43:38,000
time, you will start to identify
with that. 

707
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,800
Where you spend your time and 
where you spend investment? 

708
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:48,300
You're going to fight for those 
things. 

709
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,200
Why? 
Because you clearly care about 

710
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:59,800
it. 
And if we don't take that same 

711
00:44:00,900 --> 00:44:03,400
attitude into our relationship 
with God. 

712
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,000
Then it's no wonder some of our 
lives are such a mess. 

713
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,000
I mean sometimes it's just as 
simple as of sitting down and 

714
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,500
saying I'm going to evaluate the
time I spend with God. 

715
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,600
Because, you know, things 
because and you can tell, man, I

716
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:30,100
mean, you can really tell the 
more time you spend with God and

717
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:33,500
in his presence, and in his 
word, you can tell things. 

718
00:44:33,500 --> 00:44:37,100
Just start coming easier and 
quicker, answers, problems are 

719
00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:39,600
solved things. 
Just start running more smooth. 

720
00:44:42,100 --> 00:44:45,800
Right, when you're in it, you 
know, you're in it. and most 

721
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,500
times when you've gotten to a 
point that you're in it enough, 

722
00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:53,900
When you get out a little bit. 
That becomes so obvious to 

723
00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:56,000
something comes up and you like 
man. 

724
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,000
You know what I really haven't 
been in it enough, this 

725
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,700
shouldn't be a problem. 
It's not that we won't have 

726
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:05,600
problems but it's that we can 
solve them a lot quicker when 

727
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,100
we're in the word, right? 
The more we stay in the word and

728
00:45:09,100 --> 00:45:11,400
saying his friends were building
up defenses. 

729
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,000
To keep us from spending time on
things. 

730
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,500
We should because if I'm 
spending time in God's presence 

731
00:45:17,500 --> 00:45:21,900
and in his word, that I can't be
spending time, making Idols 

732
00:45:21,900 --> 00:45:25,300
because I'm here. 
So, I'm building defenses around

733
00:45:25,300 --> 00:45:28,600
them and then when I get out of 
spending time with him, 

734
00:45:28,700 --> 00:45:31,200
eventually my defenses will be 
depleted. 

735
00:45:31,500 --> 00:45:34,400
Yeah. 
And the only way to get him back

736
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:40,700
is to get back into the word. 
Right? 

737
00:45:40,700 --> 00:45:44,500
So we want to make sure that 
we're staying connected to the 

738
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:48,000
source. 
How do we stop Idols from 

739
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,100
creeping up in our lives? 
We evaluate our time. 

740
00:45:54,100 --> 00:45:57,700
We evaluate what we're spending 
our money on. 

741
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:07,100
We evaluate what we're showing 
our talents to Right, there's 

742
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:10,800
some real gifted people that 
spend their talents on 

743
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,500
themselves. 
It's all about getting me 

744
00:46:14,500 --> 00:46:16,500
somewhere better. 
I'm really good at these things.

745
00:46:16,500 --> 00:46:20,700
And I can continue to progress 
my career, my status, my 

746
00:46:20,700 --> 00:46:24,300
ability, and I'm willing to 
spend time on building myself 

747
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:34,100
and my kingdom. 
But then it's like all there's a

748
00:46:34,100 --> 00:46:35,400
project here at the church where
my God. 

749
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:36,000
You know. 
Sorry. 

750
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:44,300
Can't jump on, you know, it's a 
time, you know, you just like 

751
00:46:45,500 --> 00:46:49,200
the things, you know, there was 
a something that was it was 

752
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:54,900
here, rain check. 
That we start rain check and 

753
00:46:54,900 --> 00:46:58,900
God. 
Like you know, you should be at 

754
00:46:58,900 --> 00:47:00,600
prayer and you're like, oh, you 
know next time. 

755
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,300
Because it's not like the flesh,
doesn't obviously. 

756
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:07,800
So try to do his thing and it's 
easy for things to come off. 

757
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,100
I mean, you wake up, you come to
me, you know, Tuesday Morning, 

758
00:47:10,100 --> 00:47:12,800
Thursday morning prayer at 6 
a.m. you can do it for, you 

759
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,600
know, six months. 
It's still going to happen every

760
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,500
once in a while that you're 
going to wake up at like 5:30 

761
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:21,000
and be like I'd rather stay in 
bed today. 

762
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,200
Today would be a better day 
right here. 

763
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,000
Especially when it's cold 
outside. 

764
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,500
Like I gotta wake up, put on 
extra clothes. 

765
00:47:30,900 --> 00:47:33,900
I'm already trying to get it 
like as close to the last 

766
00:47:33,900 --> 00:47:36,000
second. 
I need to write takes me 32 

767
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:41,700
minutes to get to the building 
so I can wake up you know five 

768
00:47:41,700 --> 00:47:45,200
minutes to get dressed. 
Now it's colds up to add 5 

769
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,600
minutes. 
I mean I like to get my stuff 

770
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,600
out the night before and like 
throw it somewhere that way I 

771
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,000
can only have to think about it 
in the morning. 

772
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,300
Why? 
Cuz I want that time sleeping 

773
00:47:58,100 --> 00:48:00,000
but you know, I always reminded 
myself. 

774
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,300
Often, you know I'd wake up 
especially you know, when I was 

775
00:48:04,300 --> 00:48:07,400
going to the gym at 5:00, I'd 
wake up and my alarm would go 

776
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,300
off and I look over and be like 
just won't go back to sleep. 

777
00:48:10,500 --> 00:48:14,800
And then I just asked myself, is
one more hour of sleep really 

778
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,500
worth it. 
Is one more hours sleep really? 

779
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:23,500
Worth not obtaining. 
The goal I want to get to it was

780
00:48:23,500 --> 00:48:25,300
this one more hour really worth 
it. 

781
00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:28,300
Some of us are trying to get to 
a Next Level spiritually and we 

782
00:48:28,308 --> 00:48:33,000
need to take one more hour. 
Towards something else. 

783
00:48:34,500 --> 00:48:36,200
And when it comes up and you 
don't want to do it, you need to

784
00:48:36,208 --> 00:48:38,600
ask yourself. 
Is this one more hour really 

785
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,800
worth me? 
Not accomplishing what God wants

786
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:47,800
me to in this season. 
Because like I said, it's crazy 

787
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,800
how when you like are all about 
something, you'll jump on it, 

788
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,200
you'll spend time in it, you'll 
go, it's like nothing can stop 

789
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,100
you. 
You love this project. 

790
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,500
You want to keep doing this 
project. 

791
00:48:56,500 --> 00:48:58,500
You want to see it all the way 
through you're putting in crazy 

792
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:01,100
hours but you're excited about a
times flying by, there's no 

793
00:49:01,100 --> 00:49:02,900
problem. 
But then it's like, God tells 

794
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:06,700
you something like, you know, 
I'm just it was I was it was a 

795
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:15,900
long day already. but if you 
really valued it, then we would 

796
00:49:15,900 --> 00:49:20,400
do it Colossians 3 1 through 17 
says, therefore if you have been

797
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:25,100
raised with Christ to a new 
life, sharing his resurrection 

798
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,500
from the dead, keep seeking the 
things that are above where 

799
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:32,000
Christ is seated, at the right 
hand of God set your mind and 

800
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,500
keep focused habitually on 
things above the Heavenly 

801
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:36,400
things. 
Not on things that are of their 

802
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:41,200
Earth which are only temporal 
value for you died to this world

803
00:49:41,500 --> 00:49:45,200
and your new real life is hidden
with Christ in God. 

804
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:50,500
Christ, who is our life appears?
Then you also will appear with 

805
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:53,600
him in glory. 
So put to death and deprived of 

806
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,500
power. 
Deprived of power, the evil. 

807
00:49:56,500 --> 00:50:00,300
Longings of your Earthly body 
with its sensual, self-centered 

808
00:50:00,300 --> 00:50:04,100
instincts, immorality impurity, 
sinful past, and evil desires 

809
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:07,500
and greed which is a kind of 
Dollar Tree because it replaces 

810
00:50:07,500 --> 00:50:11,700
your Devotion to God because of 
the sinful things, the Divine 

811
00:50:11,700 --> 00:50:14,900
wrath of God is coming on the 
sons of disobedience. 

812
00:50:15,300 --> 00:50:19,700
Those who fail to listen and who
routinely and, you know, 

813
00:50:19,700 --> 00:50:22,400
District, disregard God's 
precepts. 

814
00:50:22,700 --> 00:50:27,000
And in the sinful things, you 
also once walked when you were 

815
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,100
habitually living in them 
without the knowledge of Christ,

816
00:50:30,100 --> 00:50:33,300
but now read yourselves, 
completely of all these things, 

817
00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:38,500
anger, rage malice slander and 
obscene, abusive filthy vulgar 

818
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:42,500
language from your mouth. 
Do not lie to one another for 

819
00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:46,400
you have stripped off the old 
self with its evil practices and

820
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,400
have put on the new spiritual 
self who is being continually 

821
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,800
renewed in truth and true 
knowledge in the image of him 

822
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,800
who created the new self and 
renewal in which there is no 

823
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,900
distinction between Greek and 
and Jew circumcised and 

824
00:51:01,900 --> 00:51:05,500
uncircumcised nor between 
nations rather Barbarian or this

825
00:51:05,500 --> 00:51:09,600
other place, nor in status, 
whether slave or free, but 

826
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,100
Christ is all and in all, so 
believers, Equal in Christ 

827
00:51:13,100 --> 00:51:16,000
without distinction. 
So as God's Own chosen, people 

828
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,100
who are holy set apart 
Sanctified for his purpose and 

829
00:51:20,100 --> 00:51:24,400
well-beloved by God himself. 
Put on a heart of compassion, 

830
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,000
kindness, humility gentleness 
and patience which has the power

831
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,300
to endure, whatever Injustice or
unpleasantness comes with good 

832
00:51:32,300 --> 00:51:34,500
temper. 
Bearing graciously with one 

833
00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:37,200
another and willing forgiveness 
of each other. 

834
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,400
If one has a cause for complaint
against another, just as the 

835
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,700
Lord has forgiven, you, you 
should So you should forgive 

836
00:51:43,700 --> 00:51:48,300
beyond all these things put on. 
I lost my spot. 

837
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,100
We're here. 
Yep. 

838
00:51:56,100 --> 00:51:58,200
And above all these things put 
on love and enfold yourselves 

839
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,100
with a bond of perfectness which
binds everything together 

840
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:05,100
completely and ideal Harmony and
let the peaceful Harmony which 

841
00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:09,600
continues from Christ's rule act
as umpire continually in our 

842
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,700
hearts deciding and settling 
with finality. 

843
00:52:12,700 --> 00:52:16,500
All the questions that arise in 
your mind's, in the peaceful 

844
00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:20,700
state to which, as members of 
Christ's one body, you are also 

845
00:52:20,700 --> 00:52:24,300
called to live and be thankful. 
Appreciative giving praise to 

846
00:52:24,300 --> 00:52:27,000
God, always let the word spoken 
by Christ. 

847
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,900
The Messiah have its home in 
your hearts and minds and dwell 

848
00:52:30,900 --> 00:52:34,900
in you all its richness as you 
teach and admonish and train 

849
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:37,900
one, another and all insight, 
and intelligence and wisdom, and

850
00:52:37,900 --> 00:52:40,200
spiritual things. 
And as you sing Psalms, and 

851
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,900
hymns, and spiritual songs 
making Melody to God with his 

852
00:52:42,900 --> 00:52:48,400
grace, in your hearts. 
And whatever you do, no matter 

853
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,000
what it is, in word or deed. 
Do everything in the name of the

854
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:56,100
Lord, Jesus and Independence 
upon his person, giving praise 

855
00:52:56,100 --> 00:53:06,800
to God the Father through him. 
You've been given a new nature 

856
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:12,600
called out of all of those 
things that were listed and 

857
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,000
placed with the ability to 
overcome at all. 

858
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,300
Just like Pastor talked about a 
couple Sundays on driving it out

859
00:53:21,300 --> 00:53:26,000
and driving out the flesh. 
You have the same ability to 

860
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,800
drive out the things that are 
sucking your time. 

861
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,800
Because if we all believe we're 
drawing, even closer to the end.

862
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,900
Then how much more valuable is 
our time now than it was before?

863
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,800
How much more valuable has our 
time in this day and age become?

864
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:56,700
Because the truth is we have one
shot at life. 

865
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,800
And we will only be judged by 
where we put our time. 

866
00:54:06,900 --> 00:54:08,000
Right? 
Because he called us to 

867
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,000
something, he wants us to 
accomplish something, which 

868
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,900
means I'm gonna have to put my 
time to accomplish it, which 

869
00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:15,700
means in the end, he's going to 
look and say I called you to 

870
00:54:15,700 --> 00:54:19,500
attain this, you got here 
because this was the time you 

871
00:54:19,500 --> 00:54:28,800
gave me Right. 
So we've been called to 

872
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,800
something greater we've been 
pushed in our hearts that we can

873
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,200
accomplish these things, which 
means we have to value our time 

874
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,900
and we have to place our time 
and things that are going to 

875
00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:41,600
continue to push us to our 
purpose. 

876
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:49,500
Right, I seek after things that 
will push me to my purpose and 

877
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:54,100
are valuable to my time. 
You know, there are things I 

878
00:54:54,100 --> 00:54:56,300
used to do. 
You know, I used to do tons of 

879
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,500
side photography because I 
enjoyed it and it was like good 

880
00:54:59,500 --> 00:55:01,600
extra money and I just kind of 
liked it and grew it. 

881
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,800
Now I like never do side 
photography. 

882
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,900
Why a I don't really love it as 
much anymore. 

883
00:55:05,900 --> 00:55:07,400
I just want to do my own thing. 
I don't have to deal with 

884
00:55:07,408 --> 00:55:10,600
families it's not as fun as it 
used to be you know it's like 

885
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,800
you know I don't like the way 
this picture looks like it's 

886
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:17,200
your face. 
My picture is great. 

887
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,400
Like like is there just one 
where the whole family Smiles, 

888
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,800
like know your Kid was screaming
and crying the whole time. 

889
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:32,200
Like, can't Photoshop that. 
And I was like so much work. 

890
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,500
Like man, I just take pictures 
of Nature's easy. 

891
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,100
People always look happy when 
they're staring at a mountain, 

892
00:55:39,100 --> 00:55:41,400
you know, it's like, let's just 
travel, I'll take pictures of 

893
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,800
people there. 
But also I realized that I 

894
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,800
didn't want to spend time doing 
it anymore. 

895
00:55:48,300 --> 00:55:51,300
Because it wasn't just that time
of the photo shoot, it was the 

896
00:55:51,300 --> 00:55:54,900
time of the editing, it was the 
time of the getting better. 

897
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:57,000
It was the time of finding new 
locations. 

898
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,500
It was the time of doing all 
this stuff and just for me, I 

899
00:56:00,508 --> 00:56:02,700
was like, I don't like this, 
it's something I don't want to 

900
00:56:02,700 --> 00:56:06,400
spend time on anymore, 
especially continually. 

901
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,300
I got still sobbing like my 
wife. 

902
00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:11,100
Does she's a better photographer
than me. 

903
00:56:11,100 --> 00:56:15,000
Anyways, people always smiling 
her photos so you know like but 

904
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,900
everyone's mom she's like hand 
and you kind of shoot like fine.

905
00:56:16,900 --> 00:56:19,100
I can take it right. 
It's like it's not but I don't 

906
00:56:19,100 --> 00:56:21,100
have to edit them. 
That's the best part. 

907
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:23,000
Like I just like boom. 
There you go. 

908
00:56:24,100 --> 00:56:29,000
You make them look happy. 
You know, like I don't have to 

909
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,000
spend all that time in it. 
Now I got to spend the 4th I can

910
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,300
on Pinterest and fine poses and 
then try to get someone who 

911
00:56:34,300 --> 00:56:36,900
doesn't like to pose pose 
because he never fails that. 

912
00:56:36,900 --> 00:56:39,800
At some point, you're going to 
take photos of some like dude 

913
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,000
who doesn't really want to be 
there because he hates pictures 

914
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:49,200
and just like stands there. 
You like haha, you know do 

915
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:53,900
something funny. 
Trying to make someone laughing.

916
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:02,200
I'm already in my mind going 
like okay, so they're going to 

917
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,300
hate these. 
This is great. 

918
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,200
How good is my Photoshop skills?
Could I make him smile? 

919
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,600
Will he know that he never 
smiled and call me on it or will

920
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,200
he just be happy that there was 
one and they think that maybe he

921
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:19,000
did at some point? 
Right. 

922
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,100
Like it was just work and so I 
was like, man, I'd rather put 

923
00:57:21,100 --> 00:57:26,200
that time somewhere else. 
Better than that. 

924
00:57:29,700 --> 00:57:32,100
And so, I did I'm put time 
towards things, I grew up with 

925
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:34,300
and I put times the things I 
actually found more enjoyable 

926
00:57:34,300 --> 00:57:36,200
now. 
So like, if I needed a break 

927
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,300
like, this is now I have this 
time because I'm not booked 

928
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,700
because like photo shoots are 
always like early morning, 

929
00:57:41,700 --> 00:57:44,200
anyways on the weekends. 
And so then I'm like it's 

930
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:45,900
Saturday and now I have to wake 
up to go. 

931
00:57:45,900 --> 00:57:49,000
Take pictures of people who are 
tired and I like we're doing in 

932
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,300
Six, Clock is high because the 
lighting is the best. 

933
00:57:51,300 --> 00:57:53,500
You just gotta do it. 
If you want family photos, wake 

934
00:57:53,500 --> 00:57:57,500
up early, you need to wake up 
extra early so that you look 

935
00:57:57,500 --> 00:58:00,800
awake in the photos. 
Don't blame your photographer 

936
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,300
because you woke up five minutes
before you needed to and like 

937
00:58:04,300 --> 00:58:06,700
Rush there in like a luxu 
sweeping all the photos. 

938
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,700
You'll woke up five minutes ago,
wake up 30, 40 minutes, early 

939
00:58:11,700 --> 00:58:14,300
get some coffee, get look happy.
And then ask someone to take 

940
00:58:14,300 --> 00:58:17,100
some photos of you gonna make 
your family photos better? 

941
00:58:17,100 --> 00:58:23,400
You're welcome. 
Matthew 22:37 through 38 says, 

942
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,000
and then he said to them. 
You shall love the Lord, your 

943
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,500
God with all your heart and with
all your soul and when all your 

944
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:33,000
mind, this is the great and 
foremost commandment. 

945
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,200
You shall love the Lord, your 
God with all your heart, all 

946
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:43,800
your soul, and all your mind. 
The Creator who died for you, 

947
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:49,500
who loves you, who gave you 
life, who gave you purpose? 

948
00:58:50,300 --> 00:58:56,300
Who blesses you and Lead. 
You just wants you to spend time

949
00:58:56,300 --> 00:59:03,000
with him. 
And like I said earlier as a 

950
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,600
father, I looked at the brownies
and I was like I created these, 

951
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,700
I have every right to them. 
God created each and every one 

952
00:59:09,700 --> 00:59:12,000
of us and has every right to 
demand that. 

953
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,800
We give him our heart. 
Because in return, is it really 

954
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:20,100
that much? 
To say man. 

955
00:59:20,100 --> 00:59:27,200
Look at all God did all he wants
is for me to spend time with him

956
00:59:27,700 --> 00:59:30,900
and do his word. 
Right? 

957
00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:33,600
And as parents, we look at our 
kids and we're like, just spend 

958
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:37,900
time with me and obey me, right?
For all the parents out there, 

959
00:59:37,900 --> 00:59:40,200
you can probably relate, there's
nothing sweeter than like, when 

960
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,600
your kid just comes up just 
completely out of the blue. 

961
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,100
And they're like, I love you and
they give you a hug and then 

962
00:59:45,100 --> 00:59:48,100
they just like go back to doing,
you know, there's been multiple 

963
00:59:48,100 --> 00:59:49,500
times where like I've had one of
my daughter's. 

964
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:51,300
They are saying out playing 
especially Luna. 

965
00:59:51,300 --> 00:59:53,800
She's a lot more like 
affectionate but should just 

966
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,300
like be playing and doing 
something, you know talking to 

967
00:59:56,300 --> 00:59:57,800
herself. 
Probably and singing Because she

968
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,300
can just like play with a tree 
and have a great time. 

969
01:00:00,500 --> 01:00:03,200
And then she'll just like run up
to me she's like hey I love you 

970
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,300
and not give me a hug and then 
just like run back out and just 

971
01:00:06,300 --> 01:00:09,700
like you literally stop what you
were doing because at some point

972
01:00:09,700 --> 01:00:12,000
you have this thought in your 
mind that you loved me and felt 

973
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,500
like you needed me to know and 
there's nothing more special 

974
01:00:16,500 --> 01:00:20,100
than that moment. 
And some of us just need to give

975
01:00:20,100 --> 01:00:23,200
God that moment. 
We need to take the time and 

976
01:00:23,208 --> 01:00:25,400
work to just stop so you gotta 
love you, thank you for all 

977
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,400
you're doing my life. 
I thank you that you continue to

978
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,100
lead and guide me and push me 
somewhere else. 

979
01:00:29,100 --> 01:00:31,100
I thank you for your loving, 
kindness your faithfulness to 

980
01:00:31,100 --> 01:00:34,800
always be there because you are 
a good father and then go back 

981
01:00:37,100 --> 01:00:39,400
That's how we increase value in 
time. 

982
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,300
That's how we get ourselves out 
of positions. 

983
01:00:42,300 --> 01:00:45,700
Being you can come up. 
That's how we get ourselves out 

984
01:00:45,700 --> 01:00:50,400
of of just the mundane, the, 
we're down, right? 

985
01:00:50,500 --> 01:00:52,800
Most people get so worn out at 
what they're doing because 

986
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,900
they're really just not building
themselves up with God. 

987
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:02,900
Right Colossians 1 3 will 113 
last one for. 

988
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:05,500
He rescued us from the Dominion 
of darkness and transferred us 

989
01:01:05,500 --> 01:01:07,700
to the kingdom of his beloved 
Son. 

990
01:01:07,700 --> 01:01:11,000
In whom we have Redemption, the 
forgiveness of sin. 

991
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,400
He is the image of the 
invisible. 

992
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,100
God, the firstborn of all 
creation for by him. 

993
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:18,300
All things were created both in 
the heavens and on Earth, 

994
01:01:18,300 --> 01:01:21,300
visible and invisible, whether 
Thrones, or dominions or rulers 

995
01:01:21,300 --> 01:01:23,200
or authorities. 
All things have been created 

996
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:27,000
through him. 
And for him, he is before all 

997
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,400
things. 
And in him all things, hold 

998
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:31,700
together. 
He is also the head of the body,

999
01:01:31,700 --> 01:01:34,400
the church and he is the 
beginning, the firstborn from 

1000
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,100
the dead so that he himself will
come to have. 

1001
01:01:37,100 --> 01:01:40,300
First place in everything for he
is the Father's good pleasure 

1002
01:01:40,300 --> 01:01:44,200
for all the fullness to dwell in
him. 

1003
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:47,900
So, I just want to encourage 
everyone tonight. 

1004
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:52,800
As I wrap this up, To just take 
time. 

1005
01:01:56,200 --> 01:02:01,300
To evaluate your time. 
Some of you are going through 

1006
01:02:01,300 --> 01:02:06,300
situations or trying to get to 
the next level and really all 

1007
01:02:06,300 --> 01:02:13,300
you need to do Is start putting 
time where it needs to be put. 

1008
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,400
And I think we can always look 
and try to find something big 

1009
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:25,500
and drastic to change, but the 
truth is for most people. 

1010
01:02:25,500 --> 01:02:30,700
If you just arrange your time, 
you'll find yourself somewhere. 

1011
01:02:31,500 --> 01:02:37,100
If find yourself in a way better
position, if you just rearrange 

1012
01:02:37,100 --> 01:02:42,200
your time and start putting the 
your valuable time in the things

1013
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:45,300
of the spirit, and being in the 
word, and being in prayer and 

1014
01:02:45,300 --> 01:02:50,900
being in his presence. 
You'll also find that you have 

1015
01:02:50,900 --> 01:02:53,900
to spend less time dealing with 
other problems.
