Speaker 2: not only at the Manchurch dot com, but wherever books

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: are sold. It is my book about my dad and

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: some of the things that he taught me. There's a

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: lot of comedy in there, but there's also a lot

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: of biblical application and challenge as well, so if you

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: don't already have a copy of that, it's available wherever

47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: you get books in print or audio as well. So

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: today we'll be in Job chapter thirty two. Job chapter

49
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: thirty two will meet somebody brand new that we didn't

50
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: even know he was around. But we will hear from

51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: him today as he addresses Job and the three Friends.

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: So if you want to turn to that, do so now. Lord,

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: Thank you for this opportunity to study your Holy Word.

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: Thank you for the application that is available to us

55
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: every time we get together. Help us, Lord today to

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: apply this scripture to our lives, for us to interpret

57
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: it correctly through the power and discernment of the Holy Spirit. Lord,

58
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: and I pray that you'll continue to mold us into

59
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: the people that only you can accomplish and the power

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: provided in the transformation and the power of Jesus Christ

61
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: and your Holy Spirit, Lord, and your name, we pray Amen.

62
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: All right, So here's what's happening in Job thirty two.

63
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: Job is done. We'll hear from him again after God

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: addresses him, but not again until then, we're not going

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: to hear from the Three Friends anymore. John Wesley said

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: something interesting. John Wesley said When I was young, I

67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: was sure of everything. Now, having been mistaken a thousand times,

68
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: I'm not half sure of anything except what God has

69
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: revealed to me, sitting here at sixty years old, teaching

70
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: that I can relate to that big time. So we

71
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: do know though, that you know, just because you're young

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you don't have anything to bring to the table.

73
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Uh.

74
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: And we're gonna be introduced to a man and I've

75
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: I've done all kinds of research on how to correctly

76
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: say his name, and nobody agrees.

77
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Uh.

78
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: It's it's either Allahu, Alaiah, Hugh or ela who. So

79
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: nobody can agree which one's right. So so I think

80
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Elaihu. If y'all don't mind, I think.

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: I just I think that's what I'm gonna roll with

82
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: from what I can gather any of these three in

83
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: English works. I tell you what it means. It means

84
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: my God is he? That's what it means.

85
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: So where does he come from? Uh? Where where was he?

86
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Has he been here the whole time?

87
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: We we do think because of some of the things

88
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: that Job has said. Uh, theologians believe that Job was

89
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: on some to some degree, on public display. Uh. He

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: mentions being, you know, someone who was highly regarded at

91
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: the gate of the city. And there are some who

92
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: suggest that there were numbers of people that could see Joe.

93
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: He you know, think.

94
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: About when he talked about that he's being now mocked

95
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: by people that at one time, you know, were considered

96
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: to be the scourge of the community. Even they well,

97
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: how did they know him? How does when have they

98
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: been mocking him? When when was this taking place? So

99
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: there is some indication that he was on some kind

100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: of public display.

101
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: Uh.

102
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: He certainly had the three friends that showed up. So

103
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: is a lie who a fourth friend? Uh? Is a

104
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: lie who's someone who was just watching all this unfold?

105
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: H And we do know he makes this clear he's

106
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: had enough and he's been holding his tongue and we'll

107
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: find out why.

108
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: But anyway, we know.

109
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: That he's somehow he's privy because of the commentary he's

110
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: going to have. It's gonna be quite a long die

111
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: tribe we're going to hear from this young man. Uh. So,

112
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: the fact that he can talk about so much, it

113
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: means he's here the whole time. He's heard what the

114
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: friends have said, he's heard what Job has said, and

115
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: he's finally going to weigh in. We know that he's

116
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: the son of Baracal from buzz. Now what is buzz?

117
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 2: We know Job's from us, So what is buzz? Well,

118
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: if you will go to Genesis twenty two twenty one,

119
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: you'll you'll find out there this is two places named

120
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 2: after two brothers, and there seems to be a pretty

121
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: close proximity between the two.

122
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: Now tee one.

123
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: Thing we're going to find out pretty quick too, is

124
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: a lot of who's angry. He's mad, and he's mad

125
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: because he's watched these three friends and then he's heard

126
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: Job's response and he doesn't think these men have been

127
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: able to refute Job's claims. Now, Job, by all accounts,

128
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: seems to be righteous. Now, this is what he's not

129
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: gonna like about Job in his own eyes, and he

130
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: may have some wisdom there. He he he is now

131
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: done with standing on the sideline.

132
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Have you ever been there? Have you? Have you ever

133
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: been done? Been to this point?

134
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: Hey, I've set here and I have listened to this

135
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: as long as I'm gonna listen to it. I got

136
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: a way in, I got I got something to say,

137
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna say it. So, uh so that's kind

138
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: of where he is. He has heard enough. I've been there.

139
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: Have you ever made a commitment you weren't gonna say anything,

140
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: and but you didn't know what people were gonna say,

141
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: and you were like, well, I wasn't gonna say anything,

142
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: but I can't let that go, and so uh I

143
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: tend to my dad.

144
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: Speaking to my dad and the book The Men Don't

145
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Run in the Rain.

146
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: My dad had a standard move that everybody who went

147
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: to Sunday school with my dad, they would they would say,

148
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: you could always tell when your dad was gonna weigh

149
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: in or he didn't agree with something that was said.

150
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: He would start doing this and he started rubbing his

151
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: hands just like this. That was all always an indication

152
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: that my dad was about to weigh in. You really

153
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: didn't want to see him start rubbing his hands and

154
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: you hear those callouses, You're like, well.

155
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: Here we go.

156
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: And so this is a situation like that, he's going

157
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: to now, Lee, I'm not gonna stand here on the

158
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: sideline anymore. I'm going into the game. I'm going to

159
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: take center stage right now. And God's not gonna be angry.

160
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: If you want me to look ahead with Elai Who.

161
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: So when he gets when when God finally addresses everybody,

162
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: he doesn't have anything negative to say about this young man.

163
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: And a lot of the theologians believe the reason why

164
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: God never seems to correct ali Who when he finally

165
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: when God finally takes the stage, is that at no

166
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 2: point in everything he's saying, unlike the Three Friends, you

167
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: never hear allai who get God wrong. The three Friends

168
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 2: got God wrong in some of their diatribes, ali Who

169
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: did not, So he doesn't get any correction from God

170
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: when God comes along. And the message must be one

171
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: that we need because it takes a prominent place in

172
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: this entire drama.

173
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: So that's important.

174
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: So so he seems to care about Job's suffering something

175
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: the Friends didn't. Uh, He's gonna speak from revelation, not

176
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: from his age age. Remember this, and I've seen this

177
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: far too many times. Age does not automatically equate wisdom.

178
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,479
Speaker 2: I have met some pretty stupid old people, okay, And

179
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: and all I can think of.

180
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: Is that's that's a lot of wasted years.

181
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: So don't think that anybody in this room are out

182
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,599
Speaker 2: there just because of your birth date, you just automatically

183
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: have been given wisdom.

184
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: Wisdom is to be sought after. As we know, if.

185
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: You're an older person that's lived a long time but

186
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: you don't fear God, you're not much good to anybody.

187
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: And and I will say this, I h I look

188
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: back and I think to myself, I could see if

189
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: I didn't make some adjustments in my life and become

190
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: a follower of Jesus. I think I have very very

191
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: strong potential to be a very stupid sixty year old,

192
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: just based on how stupid I was at any age.

193
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 2: So I don't think sixty would have suddenly made me

194
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 2: wiser than I was. So age does not always equate wisdom,

195
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: and age does not doesn't always mean you don't have wisdom.

196
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: I have met some extremely impressive young people, extremely impressive

197
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: with with with a lot of wisdom. Now there's there's

198
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: some life lessons they don't know yet because they hadn't

199
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: lived them, but they they have, They've made They've made

200
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: a lot of wise decisions in their life for young people.

201
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 2: So I think that that's another thing that is infuriating sometimes.

202
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: If you've ever dealt with youth ministry, and I have,

203
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: I remember just being nauseated and shocked at how many

204
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: parents thought that youth just included sin, that their kids

205
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: were just going to do stupid things and they were

206
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: going to sow these oats and commit all this sin,

207
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: and that that was just part of being young. Always

208
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: found that to be infuriating because that somehow means, what

209
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: are you We're going to delay them getting serious about

210
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: their faith? Do we want them to end up? You know,

211
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: with all this regret that sin brings. What are we

212
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: talking about here? And so no, and I will tell you,

213
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: And I don't know how this fits into God's narrative

214
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: on the end of the earth and the end of

215
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: the church age and the end of the seventieth week.

216
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how this works.

217
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: But right now, and we've mentioned this before, but I

218
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: talked about it with somebody else just this week, there

219
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 2: is a younger generation right now that is actually returning

220
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: to the church and they're impressive. As I said, they

221
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: don't seem concern. Now this is general. There's exceptions, but

222
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: as far as A and I just had this discussion

223
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 2: this week because I was actually helping another ministry because

224
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: we were talking about the different generations and how they

225
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: would market to this generation. And I said, well speaking,

226
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: having people that I know and even in my family

227
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: in this generation, if you are trying to go after

228
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: them and get them to respond, what they respond to

229
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: is you must show them that what you're asking them

230
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 2: to do matters. Not it'll make them wealthy, it'll make

231
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: the popular. They really don't care about that, which is

232
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: a nice refreshing. Now again, i'm speaking in general. You

233
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: may know individuals in that generation that don't live that way.

234
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: I'm talking about in general. If you want them to

235
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 2: be interested or get on board, they want to know

236
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: that it matters. Is this part of my life making

237
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: a difference?

238
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: Now?

239
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: They love that, and that seems to be what churns them.

240
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: They don't care what neighborhood they live in, They don't

241
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: care what kind of house they live in, what kind

242
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: of car they drive. They don't consider success being that

243
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: I was wealthy. They consider success being did my life matter?

244
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: Well? What an opportunity? Because there's nothing that makes.

245
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: Your life matter more than advancing the kingdom of God.

246
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: And some of us are probably we didn't learn that

247
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: till we were much older than we should have been.

248
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: So let's talk about his introduction. Let's meet this young man.

249
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: So here we go in two. The first thing we're

250
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: gonna get is who he is, which I've kind of

251
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 2: covered this, but we're review it in scripture. So these

252
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: three men cease to answer Job because he was righteous

253
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: in his own eyes. Now what underline in his own eyes?

254
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: So does that mean that he was guilty of what

255
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: his friend said? Doesn't mean that, It just means he's

256
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: got something to learn from God. A little bit later on,

257
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: he's he's it's not quite clear to him yet how

258
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: sinful he really is, not that he has unrepented sin

259
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: or isn't blameless, just he's gonna get taught a lesson

260
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: through this difficulty about God that he doesn't know yet.

261
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: As I've said a thousand times, why God has used

262
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: pain and suffering.

263
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: Because it works. Uh.

264
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: And you're seeing that even in our modern society right

265
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: now at the time we're doing this Bible study, it's

266
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: happening again. So anyway, so in his own eyes, but

267
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: we also know that the Bible makes it clear. The

268
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: three other friends could never refute the case that Job

269
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: was making. Job was making a case that their theology

270
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: of God's retribution to the wicked and blessing the blameless

271
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: that that theology was flawed, that it's bigger than that God.

272
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: God's doing something more complicated than that, and they could

273
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: not refute the case he kept making. So we got

274
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: that then, Elihu, and then we we've already said all this,

275
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: who is the son of Baraco from buzz and from

276
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: the tribe of ram Uh. So so when we when

277
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: we see this, it says he burned with anger.

278
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: So he's furious.

279
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: He has heard this, he's watched this, and now look

280
00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: who's mad at first Job. He burned with anger at

281
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: Job because he justified himself.

282
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: Rather than God.

283
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: Young man showing up with a bold comment because Job

284
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: has been talking on and on about how well respected

285
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: he was and how really no one could accuse him

286
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: of being a sinful man. And I will tell you

287
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: what a lie who is saying right now. And those

288
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: of us in the New Covenant need to learn this too.

289
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: The only thing good about any of us that have

290
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: been redeemed and are blameless before God is Jesus. That's

291
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: all we bring to the table. If you remove Jesus

292
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: from every man in this room, and the man teaching,

293
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: and every man and woman this watching and listening, if

294
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: you're redeemed, and we take Jesus away.

295
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: You bring nothing to the table.

296
00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: We will stand before God, filthy, wretched, worthy of wrath.

297
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: And so apparently a lie who has heard job and

298
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: he's like I would have liked to send a little

299
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 2: more credit for God and a little less credit for

300
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: you. You talk about all these all these works you've done,

301
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: and all these things you've done, and we agreed those

302
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: are good.

303
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: But what's the source of you being this way? The

304
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: source is God.

305
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: Right when when people say to me, I knew you

306
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 2: before and I know you after and blankety blankety blankety blank,

307
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: the proper answer is, well, that's just the power of Jesus.

308
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: Why do you do this? And you used to do

309
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: that Jesus?

310
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean if it wasn't for Jesus, I mean

311
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 2: none of you should even remotely have anything to do

312
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: with me, because I promise you, if it wasn't for Jesus,

313
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: the only thing I would care about is me, And

314
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: if you could benefit me, then you can hang around.

315
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: If I don't see any benefit of you be with me,

316
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: then I don't want anything to do with it.

317
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: That's who I was. Now.

318
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: I see you as as a gift from God to

319
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 2: encourage me to challenge me. Are you've been given to

320
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: me as an opportunity to disciple with you. I see

321
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: you of a tremendous value. Not because I'm that way,

322
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: but because now I'm looking through the lens of the

323
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. I think different, I see things differently. My

324
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: priorities are completely different. And so that's credit to the

325
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: transformation power of Jesus, not my new commitment to be

326
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: a better man. And that's the reason why I want

327
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: you to do. All of us need to start being

328
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: a little bit leery. Watch out how these things you

329
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: know as we as Scripture tells us, weave even into

330
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: the church.

331
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: Be real careful when church. If you're in a church,

332
00:18:59,000 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: or you're.

333
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 2: In a Bible stiff, or you got somebody teaching you,

334
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: and before you know it, they begin to look more

335
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: like a life coach than they do a disciple of Jesus,

336
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 2: And before you know it, they're trying to help you

337
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: become your best you, as opposed to trying to be

338
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: sure that you're immersed and are a follower.

339
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: And under the authority of Jesus.

340
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: As the young man who was just killed said correctly,

341
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 2: the church is about correcting behavior. You come in there

342
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 2: for correction. You come in there to be taught. You

343
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 2: come in there to be held accountable. You're coming in

344
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: there to be convicted, to be refined, to be sanctified.

345
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: You're not coming in there for everybody to go you're awesome.

346
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: Well you better be coming there too. I want to

347
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: go to a place where they say God.

348
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: Is awesome, not I'm awesome. And you know, we want

349
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: you to be your best you.

350
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: There's nothing in the Bible that says, as a matter

351
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: of fact, I was taught by my former pastor who's here,

352
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna embarrass him. I'll never forget it.

353
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: And it's and it's become the focal verse of the

354
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 2: maanchurch dot com.

355
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: When Jesus says deny itself.

356
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: If you look at the original Greek, it does not

357
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: mean to become a better version of yourself. It means

358
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 2: you don't exist anymore. You become Rick in Christ.

359
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: Period.

360
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: And sometimes some of this stuff gets treated like, let's

361
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: just make you a better you now, let's let's do this.

362
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: Let's make you less you, that's what it is, and

363
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: let's make you more like him. That's what it's about.

364
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: That's what he's saying. And it's a very provocative statement,

365
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: and frankly, as we've learned, it's an offensive statement.

366
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: It's shocking, you.

367
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: Know, and you know because you know, we love to say,

368
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: hey Jesus, we're in He goes hell, let me tell

369
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: you this is gonna be deny yourself, meaning you don't

370
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: exist anymore.

371
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa?

372
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: I mean right there, it's kind of like what do

373
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 2: you oh, whoah, you know, and then he says, you're

374
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: gonna what you're gonna you can count the cost? Was

375
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: it gonna cost me? Uh well, let me tell what's

376
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: gonna coss all of you your sin?

377
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: Oh?

378
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: Like I said before, sometimes I think, especially as men,

379
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: we're more willing to die for Jesus than we are

380
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: to live for Jesus. Die for Jesus just means it's

381
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: over living for Jesus. That's day after day after day

382
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 2: after day of dying being refined, being sanctified. It's it's rough, okay.

383
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 2: And then of course he says, pick up your cross,

384
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: But that's not that. If I'm in marketing, I would

385
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: sit across Jesus and say, we'll never sell this product.

386
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: You want me to do a commercial.

387
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 2: That says, these people that want that want to submit

388
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 2: to you, and they want to repent and follow you.

389
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: Here's what you want me to tell them. When you

390
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: do that, you no longer exist. When you do that,

391
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: you can't you can't just do whatever you want to do, Okay, right?

392
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: And and and you want me to tell.

393
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: Them that they're going to possibly physically die, yes, and

394
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: that they're that they're they're they're like life is going

395
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: to be like toting across Jesus says, that's how we

396
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: market me. And I said, he ain't nobody gonna follow you.

397
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: I mean, so that and that's why he finally says

398
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: what he says. Now, a lot of people talk about me.

399
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 2: I heard somebody say today Jimmy Kimmel said he was

400
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: a believer in Jesus.

401
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: I said, well, so is Satan. I don't mean anything.

402
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: That means nothing. What you mean a believer? I don't

403
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: even like that term. You know what I mean? I

404
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: always was pebble to expand on it. Are you a believer?

405
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: Expand on that?

406
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 2: Now demons believe they got him right all the time, So.

407
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: It's are you a follower of Jesus? Are you under

408
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: the lordship of Jesus?

409
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: Have you repented and turned from your sin and left

410
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: faith in yourself and completely put yourself in Jesus. Have

411
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: you now become nothing while Jesus has become everything? You

412
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: preach that at least everybody knows what they're getting into

413
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 2: this thing of telling me I just need to believe

414
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 2: in Jesus. I need more to information. I've never not

415
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: believed in Jesus. But you couldn't tell nothing thing changed.

416
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: I was, like I said, I had a demonic faith.

417
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: And so this is.

418
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: Kind of where Ali who is saying I would have

419
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: liked to have seen job expand on. Where all this

420
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: the source of this righteousness as opposed to he somehow's

421
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: made himself righteous? Now is that fair? I just tell

422
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: you a lie who says it sounded like that sometimes.

423
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: But you know what this is.

424
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: This is a young man that's kind of uncomfortable holding

425
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: an older man accountable. But I will tell you I've

426
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: had young men hold me accountable, and I was thankful

427
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: for it.

428
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: I needed their eyesight, I needed some new eyes on it.

429
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: One of the things that we've done, even what I

430
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: do for a living, one of the things that I

431
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 2: have done after over forty years in radio, I am

432
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: working as much as I can. I want new eyes

433
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: on what we're doing. Well, how do you see how

434
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: we do it? You know, what are some things that

435
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: we could approve? I mean I went three nights in

436
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: a row just listening to people who've been listening to

437
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: the old show that I did, and had been listening

438
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: for the first sixty days or so maybe ninety days

439
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: of the new show, And I sat and listened on

440
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 2: how they saw it, not how I saw it, because

441
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 2: I'm delusional. I'm too close. You know, how are all

442
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 2: these new eyes seeing it? You know, I've talked to

443
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: a guy yesterday brand New, what do you think of

444
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 2: what we're doing? You know, if you don't have that,

445
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: and so I think a lot. Who's saying I know

446
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 2: what you were trying to say? You ever had that

447
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: happen to you? You ever had anybody pull you aside

448
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 2: going I know you didn't mean it to come across

449
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: this way, but let me tell you how we heard it.

450
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: Has that ever been beneficial for you? Uncomfortable at first

451
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 2: because you thought you had it? Now one of my

452
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: worst cases of that was, you know, people tell me

453
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 2: all the time. Tell me the commentaries you use, and

454
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 2: tell me the things you do, and when you teach,

455
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 2: tell me some of all these sources. I say, there's

456
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 2: one I can't give you. My wife, y'all can't have her.

457
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: And that's who's had the most influence on discipling me,

458
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: you know, especially early on, because she's an incredible researcher

459
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 2: and the resource and incredible study habits of the Word

460
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: of God, and the worst one ever as far as

461
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: just embarrassing, I come off.

462
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: You know. Let me just tell any of you.

463
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: If you ever teach and you public speak and your

464
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: wife goes with you, if you get in the car

465
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 2: and she hasn't commented on it yet, don't ask.

466
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: Don't ask, because if you.

467
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: Haven't already gotten some encouragement from her, and you have

468
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 2: to go looking for it, fishing for it, when you

469
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: set the hook, you can wish you hadn't brought that

470
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: fish in the boat. Okay, So we're riding, and I mean,

471
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: we're riding and it's and i'd like, I guess, I said, so,

472
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: what did you think.

473
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: It was a good presentation? It was? It was thank you, baby.

474
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question? Yes, you were doing

475
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: the message on Joshua. Weren't you. Yes, well, that's a

476
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: shame because you caught him Joseph the entire MAA uh

477
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: and uh. I said, why did you signally? She said,

478
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: I tried.

479
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: You wouldn't look at me. I was on the front

480
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 2: road going trying to get your attention. I don't know

481
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 2: how I was gonna get Joseph Joshua to you. And

482
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 2: she goes, So if people who knew what you were doing,

483
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: I think they were fine seekers. Today they think Joseph

484
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: took the people into Canaan. They think Joseph took the

485
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: place of Moses. They think Joseph was told to be

486
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: strong and courageous, and sadly, they probably think Joshua's brothers

487
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: sold him into slavery.

488
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. So I was like, oh,

489
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: go on it.

490
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: So so sometimes sometimes you get you need to hear

491
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: these things, and it's not always fun.

492
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: So so he says, he said, of.

493
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: His own righteousness. So he burned with anger about that,

494
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 2: and so now now look at this. He burned with

495
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: anger also at Job's three friends. Although they had declared

496
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: Job to be in the wrong, he said, they declared

497
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 2: that he was in the wrong, but I see that

498
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: they are as wrong as Job.

499
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: Maybe was a little too self righteous.

500
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you these friends who he's most

501
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: angry with. You guys didn't do any good either. You

502
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: declared that Job had done something wrong, and how many

503
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 2: more times did he have to show you that he

504
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: hadn't and y'all never would let that go? Now four

505
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 2: explains a little bit. You didn't make your case for

506
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: the accusations. Don't you sometimes wish some wom to step

507
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: in and say, somebody who was accusing you of something, say,

508
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 2: I wish somebody would just tell you just had made

509
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: this case.

510
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: So he said, I've been listening. Y'all didn't make the case, okay.

511
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: And then he goes on and he says in four

512
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 2: he's respecting his elders.

513
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: We could use some of that today.

514
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 2: Now, Elai who had waited to speak to Job, why

515
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: it tells you because they were older than him. What

516
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: a concept. Be respectful to the older men and wait

517
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: your turn to speak, give them their chance, let them finish,

518
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: and then you have the opportunity. I've been standing here.

519
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 2: I'm the younger dude. I've been letting all you older

520
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: guys talk. And then five, and when Ali Who saw

521
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 2: that there was no answer in the mouth of these

522
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 2: three men, he burned with anger. I gotta tell you.

523
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 2: I sat here, I listened to you. I've listened long enough.

524
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 2: I listened and I listened. I kept waiting on you

525
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 2: all to make the case. I gave you every opportunity

526
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: you could possibly have to make your case.

527
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: You didn't do it.

528
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 2: I can't hear it anymore. I finally got to call

529
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: y'all on this. He had had enough. So now you

530
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: got to watch a little bit here. You gotta watch

531
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: a lie who because he's got some confidence, and we

532
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: respect his confidence. But he borderlines a little bit here,

533
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: sometimes on being at a little full of himself as well,

534
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: but not bad. He's all right again. God never gets

535
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: on him about any this. So he walks a delicate

536
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: line here. So he says uh in six and then

537
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: alle who, the son of Barrockel of the Buzzight, answered

538
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: and said, I'm young in years, and you are aged.

539
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: Therefore I was timid and afraid to declare my opinion

540
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: to you. We're fine here. My age restrained me from speaking.

541
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: Sooner.

542
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: He explains that seven, I said, let days speak and

543
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: many years teach wisdom. What I thought is I'll just

544
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: sit here and be quiet. I was seeking wisdom. Now

545
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: this is important, okay, and listen, listen to this. I

546
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: was reading some of the commentaries on this and and

547
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: I love this one quote and it comes from Iban

548
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: and then it's gobbleral. But listen to this. This was

549
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: the quote the first when you're seeking wisdom. Step one,

550
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 2: shut up, be silent. Step two, listen, he's done both.

551
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: Step three remember remember what you're hearing. Have good recall

552
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: number four. Now practice the things that you've learned. And

553
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: then fifth, then you can teach. But what we have

554
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: a lot of times is somebody comes out with some

555
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: sort of platform, they make some declaration that they found Jesus.

556
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: You know, we all jump up and down, and before

557
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: we know it, we got them teaching and they don't

558
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 2: know anything. And I've said this before. I was pushed

559
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: into teaching too quick. Now, not teaching small groups. I'm

560
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: talking about speaking at events. I was very reluctant to

561
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: start teaching small groups because I knew the work it

562
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: would take and I wasn't willing to put the work in.

563
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: Now that all changed, and now I just eat it

564
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: up and love every minute of it. I love preparing

565
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: for this. I love preparing for my son's shoe class.

566
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 2: I enjoy that now. I never thought I was would,

567
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: and that's another supernatural change. But anyway, what he said

568
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: is I have kept my mouth shut. I've let the

569
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: older man speak. I've listened to what they said. So

570
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: if I want to refute something, right, you ever had

571
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: anybody refute you on something like WHOA? You didn't hear

572
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: what I said? I didn't say that. He let everybody

573
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: finish what they had to say. Then he remembered what

574
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: everybody had said, remember what job had said. Then he

575
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: began to examine himself to see does he have any

576
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: standing to do some correction.

577
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: And then he started teaching. And those are nice steps,

578
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: by the way, for us to take.

579
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: I remember when an older man came into my life

580
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: who told me to speak less and study and pray more.

581
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: And he was one hundred percent right, and that was

582
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: great advice. So coming into verse eight, but it is

583
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty,

584
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: that makes him understand. Now that's a big line right there. Hey,

585
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: y'all may have all this age, and I know I

586
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 2: don't have that, But I tell what I do have.

587
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: I do have the Holy Spirit. I do have the.

588
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 2: Power of God. It's how much God that gives us understanding,

589
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: not how much us now, how many days we've been around,

590
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 2: how long we've been living. If we've lived all this

591
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: time and never goide ourselves right with God and we

592
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 2: don't have the wisdom of God, the wisdom of God

593
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: is true understanding. Well, we see that in the world,

594
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: don't we. Well, there's a lot of people, you know,

595
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: psycho babble, garbage, you know, philosophy this, and philosophy that

596
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: there's some value to that. But if you want true understanding,

597
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: it is what it is, the understanding and the teachings

598
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: that come from God and the power of the Holy Spirit.

599
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: And Ali who knows that age doesn't guarantee wisdom. He

600
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: goes on to say, now, listen, a lot who gets

601
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: really close in verse eight to saying what he's going

602
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 2: to say is God's words. He stops short of that,

603
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: and then he basically says, Okay, let me let me

604
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: say this better. My words are God inspired, they are

605
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: my words. I'm not acting like I got these words

606
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: exactly as a revelation. But when I speak, they're God inspired.

607
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: That's probably a better way to say it. I'm always

608
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: a little leiery of these people that say I got

609
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 2: a word from God, and this is exactly what he says.

610
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: I think it. I think that does happen.

611
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: Don't misunderstand me, but I think a lot of times

612
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: what I said was inspired by God, as opposed to

613
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 2: my mouth is open and God just spoke through it

614
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: with none of me there. So not that it doesn't

615
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 2: ever happen. I'm just saying I don't think it happens often.

616
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: Verse nine. It is not the old who are wise,

617
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: nor the aged who understand what is right.

618
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: He says.

619
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: Age doesn't guarantee wisdom. Gray hair does not does not

620
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: ensure understanding. Trust us, those of us that have the

621
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: graying in the hair, we earned it. It's sad when

622
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: we have all this gray hair and we haven't learned anything.

623
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: Verse ten.

624
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: Now he's going to talk about the how inadequate these

625
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: three friends were. Verse ten. Therefore, I say, listen to me.

629
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: love this kid.

630
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: But if you ever been like, let's get to it.

631
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: You've given us this grand introduction that you're now coming

632
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 2: on the scene.

633
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: What say you?

634
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: And that's now we're ready, he says. Everybody, get here

635
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 2: we go. I'm about to go into it. Now. Everybody listen,

636
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: Ali who has the platform, he says, Behold, I waited

637
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: for your words. I listened for your wise sayings while

638
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 2: you searched out what to say. So he didn't wait long.

639
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: He's going right in. I wasn't impatient. I kept quiet,

640
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: let everybody finish, kept waiting on you guys to come

641
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 2: around with something.

642
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: Didn't stop you short, didn't interrupt. I've been listening. Then

643
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: he goes to twelve.

644
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: I gave you my attention, and behold, there was none

645
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: among you.

646
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: Who refuted Job.

647
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: So really, if a lie who took the role of

648
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: a judge in a courtroom right now, he would be

649
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: looking at everybody and he would go So the prosecution

650
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: y'all rattled on and on and on. I never interrupted you.

651
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 2: I've heard the prosecution clearly, you did not make the

652
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: case against Job.

653
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule him guilty. You didn't make the.

654
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 2: Case, and he says, and I listened to every word

655
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 2: of it, and then he goes further, Not only did

656
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: you not make your case when he had his defense,

657
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: so means i've also heard the defense rest when he

658
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 2: defended himself self. You never refuted his defense. Not only

659
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 2: did you not make a case his defense of your

660
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 2: accusation when he stopped, y'all were, y'all were, y'all were silent.

661
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: You never he won this courtroom case. And and I've

662
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 2: been the one that's that's hurted you. You didn't answer

663
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 2: any Every time he questions these rhetorical questions back to you.

664
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 2: You never gave him an answer. When he said, looks

665
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 2: like to me, some of the wickeds doing great, you

666
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 2: never answered that. When he says, over here, I see

667
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 2: people who seem to be wonderful people, and they're not

668
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: doing good at all. You you didn't answer that. He

669
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: kept saying, it looks like to me, this is a

670
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 2: little more arbitrary than God punishes the wicked and he

671
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: blesses the righteous.

672
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't look that simple. You never gave an answer

673
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: to that.

674
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: So uh, I've watched every bit of this thirteen. Beware

675
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: lest you say we have found wisdom. God may vanquish him,

676
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 2: not a man. He says, I'm not sure. When I

677
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: first looked at this, I'm like, did they ever claim

678
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: they had wisdom? He seems to think they were trying

679
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: to insinuate that, But he said, really, your silence looks

680
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: like to me that you've admitted defeat. And he said,

681
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: and at this point, it sounds like to me, by

682
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 2: what I've watched and what I've heard, y'all have agreed

683
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 2: with job.

684
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: Let's let God decide.

685
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 2: It looks like you realize at this point we haven't

686
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: made the case against him.

687
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: If he's going to be vanquished, God's going to have to.

688
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: Judge against him. It looks like we're all in agreement

689
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: on that. Now nobody else is talking. Isn't this interesting

690
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: that Alaihu almost comes out like the MC that is

691
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 2: setting up God coming on the scene. He's like, all right,

692
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 2: so we're are we all to the point now we

693
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 2: all agree that God's going to have the final say,

694
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 2: And so he's making his point. And then he comes

695
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 2: back and he says, he has not directed his words

696
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: against me, and I will not answer him with your speeches.

697
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: You know, when when I was sitting here watching this.

698
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: I did I never I never said anything. The answer

699
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: here is no. They they don't have anything else to say,

700
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 2: he said, and this is what kind of led me

701
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 2: to wanting to say something. And he said, you guys,

702
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: you guys didn't direct anything toward me. I think he

703
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: outwitted you, all three of you. He's yet to address me.

704
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: This is kind of a little bit of a I mean,

705
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: he came right out with a y'all. But I'm speaking now.

706
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 2: We'll see if he outwits me. I'm I'm still I

707
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 2: haven't been defeated yet. This is my time to talk now.

708
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: He outwitted y'all.

709
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 2: But but I'm new to the scene. A little bit

710
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: of boldness there from a young man. But but how

711
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 2: about this will allow it? So then he says in

712
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 2: verse fifteen, he says, they're there, they are dismays, they

713
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 2: are dismayed. They answer no more. They have not a

714
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: word to say. Your silence admits defeat. I'm not talking

715
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 2: to you now. I'm done with y'all. I'm not talking

716
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 2: to you. We're not conversing. I'm talking about you because

717
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 2: your your time's over. This is not gonna be a

718
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 2: give and take uh. This is the this is sit

719
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 2: there and let me finish. I've listened to you. Have

720
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 2: you ever noticed we've lost that in society?

721
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: Is that not? It?

722
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: Does it infuriate you when somebody goes on and on

723
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 2: and on and they finish and you go, okay, so

724
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: let me respond to that, and they interrupt you about

725
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: a quarter away in let me finish.

726
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: Have you ever been there?

727
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: Let me finish, Let me finish what I will say,

728
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: And he said, so this is not me calling for

729
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 2: you guys to go back and forth with me. And

730
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 2: then we get to sixteen and shall I wait because

731
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: they do not speak, because they stand there and answer

732
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: no more. Of course, the answer is no. It's rhetorical here.

733
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: They don't have any more to say. And this is

734
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: why I was.

735
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 2: Thinking, it's time now for me to speak, and that's

736
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 2: why I spoke. You don't have anything else to say,

737
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 2: so it's my turn. He doubles down on that in

738
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: seventeen to make sure we don't misunderstand him. I also

739
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: want answer with my share. I also would declare my opinion.

740
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: So this is the If you're there and you're in

741
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: the crowd, you're like, oh, well, this this kid's gonna

742
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: talk a while. He's letting us know. You know what,

743
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 2: he's saying, my turn, my turn to speak. Uh, let's

744
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: see if y'all can sit and listen to me the

745
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 2: way I've listened to you guys, go on and on

746
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: and on, and by the way, a lot of who

747
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 2: is gonna go on and on and on. It's just

748
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 2: not a This is not a short. We're not gonna

749
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 2: get into all of it today. We're setting it up today.

750
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 2: But he lets us know too, we're gonna be here

751
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,959
Speaker 2: a while. Watch Watch eighteen. Have you have you ever

752
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: ever sat down to hear somebody speak and they give

753
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: you a heads up that this is not gonna be short,

754
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: tough feeling. My first thought is also, I should have gone.

755
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: To the bathroom, you know what?

756
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 2: And uh so he says, for I am full of words,

757
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: the spirit within me can struy me. Now this does

758
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 2: mean he's got a lot to say. What else does

759
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: it mean? Well, y'all better be thinking. I think y'all

760
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: better be thankful I got the spirit in me, because

761
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: if it wasn't for the Holy Spirit, I'd be going

762
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 2: off on y'all right now.

763
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: I would launch like a.

764
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: Rocket and he says, but I got a lot of words.

765
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: The spirit has kept me silent. It's not going to

766
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 2: constrain me anymore, but it will keep me from losing it.

767
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: You know what he's saying. If you have you ever

768
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: wish you had waited just a minute.

769
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 2: You know, I've really learned as I've gotten older, just

770
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: give it a minute.

771
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: I can't. I can tell you even recently, because you

772
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: know I'm doing.

773
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 2: I told you guys we're praying about I'm going through

774
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 2: all these meetings right now about things we're going to

775
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 2: go through in the future. I had one yesterday, I

776
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 2: got another one today, and I can tell I'm learning.

777
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: There's been a couple of times where I thought, well,

778
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 2: you know what the old rick, you know, I'm just

779
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 2: about to turn this place upside down.

780
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: And I noticed as I've gotten older, it'll creep in

781
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: there that I'm like, well, you know, it ain't the

782
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: thing to do.

783
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: Just sit here and just just bide your time, just

784
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 2: let everything keep going, give it a few days, don't

785
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 2: make any kind of decision right now.

786
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: Just and can I tell you if.

787
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: You're if you haven't learned that yet, that's really really wise.

788
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: Counsel you know the old days.

789
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 2: If if I'll start feeling smoke coming out from under

790
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: my shoes, I was.

791
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: I was ready to launch like a rocket.

792
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 2: And uh and you know, as it was funny because

793
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 2: my wife always talked about this. She said, you and

794
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: your brother. Your brother gets a lot of bad pr

795
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: for being ill and the hot head. She said, but

796
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: you know what, he has a little bit shorter fused

797
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 2: than you do.

798
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: But he's harmless. He doesn't do anything. The difference is

799
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: when you go off, people need counseling.

800
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 2: And uh and and she said, so that's the difference,

801
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 2: you know, I you're you know, he gets a little ill,

802
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 2: he gets through it, he's done with it. He might

803
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: bark a little something off. She goes, you, when the

804
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: rocket leaves, there's no bringing it back. And when she said,

805
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 2: you're scorched earth when it's over, and I was that way,

806
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 2: and I still have potential for that. I just, by

807
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: the grace of God, don't do that anymore if I

808
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 2: can keep from it. Now, is there a time? Is

809
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 2: there a time to go scorched earth?

810
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

811
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 2: But it's not off not you know, but this this

812
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 2: is the kind of things about you know, there's a

813
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: righteous anger righteous anger is great. Even Jesus had righteous anger.

814
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 2: I love that I learned that from Steve Farr.

815
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: God rest his soul.

816
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: Oh, I just can't imagine how happy Steve is, can

817
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 2: I mean? Can you imagine Steve Farr as much as

818
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 2: he loved Jesus being with Jesus. Now, But he said that,

819
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 2: and he said, you know, Jesus taught us how to

820
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 2: do everything, including being angry. He said, it wasn't that

821
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: Jesus never got angry, He just never sinned in his anger.

822
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 2: So if you want to know how to be angry correctly,

823
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: watch Jesus.

824
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: Never.

825
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 2: You know, we always think about learning all these things

826
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 2: from Jesus. Have you ever really thought about learning anger

827
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: from Jesus? He got angry, but he didn't sin in

828
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 2: his anger.

829
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: Why was he angry?

830
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 2: What was it that prompted him to be angry? It

831
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 2: was what protecting the glory of God, defending the holiness

832
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 2: of God, dot letting people blaspheme his father.

833
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: Now, that's that's different.

834
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 2: That's worth fighting for, that's worth being bold about, that's

835
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 2: worth saying I'm immovable, right, But you know, just because

836
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 2: you're hungry and hot and tired, probably not and I've

837
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 2: been immovable with just from those things before. That's not

838
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 2: being immovable. And I've learned that God. God has has

839
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 2: corrected me on that. So he's ready to unleash his frustration,

840
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 2: but he says.

841
00:45:58,640 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: He's going to do it correctly.

842
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So he says in eighteen that he will be

843
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 2: constrained by the Holy Spirit, and he has been constrained

844
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: by God himself.

845
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: Nineteen.

846
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 2: Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent,

847
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 2: like new wine skins ready to burst. I'm Baptist. So

848
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 2: I have no idea what this analogy mans? No, but

849
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 2: but no, what what?

850
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: What? Now? What he's talking about? Here's what I'm about

851
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: to explode.

852
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 2: I Am about to explode, you know, I'm I'm Have

853
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 2: you ever gotten to that point where you're like, Okay,

854
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 2: if I don't speak now, I'm gonna I'm just gonna.

855
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna explode. I have to say something. I must

856
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: say something. And and this is where he is. He said, honestly,

857
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 2: if I don't speak now, I'm going to explode. And uh,

858
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 2: and then he gets into twenty. I must speak that

859
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 2: I may find relief. I must open my lips and answer.

860
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: He picture this.

861
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: He's really just if you look at the original language

862
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 2: here have you have you ever like had something that

863
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 2: had too much air in it? And you you have

864
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 2: that safety of app he said, My mouth is that

865
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 2: safety valve. I gotta let something out, it's we gotta

866
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 2: let some pressure off. I have got to get this out.

867
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 2: I've got if I can. If I can, I'll never

868
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 2: have relief if I don't vent this stress. It has

869
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 2: created so much stress, this unresolved case. It has frustrated

870
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 2: me so much. But but I will release it in

871
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: a controlled manner. Right, we don't lose control, even if

872
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 2: we're righteous in what we have to say, we don't

873
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 2: lose control. You keep control. You don't let people pull

874
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 2: you into some screaming and yelling. You make your point.

875
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 2: You can even be firm. But we need to always

876
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 2: be in control because we're under the authority of Jesus.

877
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: We don't lose control. That leads to chaos, and chaos

878
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 2: is not of God. Right, You've heard me say many times,

879
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 2: and I promise I'm not going on that speech.

880
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: God is not reckless, God is not chaotic. God is

881
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: a God of order. Now does God does he have anger? Yes?

882
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 2: But he does, He's not out of his mind like

883
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 2: freaking out. Okay, you ever try to deal with people

884
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 2: that can't handle this, They just come in glued. The

885
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: unglued are difficult to deal with, you know, because you're like,

886
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 2: you know before you know it, and it almost seems

887
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 2: like it builds. You know that if you notice the

888
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 2: more they get angry, didn't they start coming with stuff?

889
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't it make sense anymore? You know?

890
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 2: So they bring something out from like ninety four, you know,

891
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 2: you're like what you know? And you remember that time,

892
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 2: and like, I don'd I don't even remember ninety four?

893
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 2: You know, it's uh, and so I didn't get saved

894
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 2: to ninety six. I can't remember not four. I don't

895
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 2: remember eighty four to ninety six so much of it.

896
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 2: So so anyway, stay in control, what stay on the point.

897
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 2: Don't start going after people for things you should have

898
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 2: said a long time ago. Stick with what we're here

899
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 2: to talk about, and deal with what's in front of you,

900
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: and do it in a controlled manner. And anger is

901
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 2: okay as long as it's correct and it's righteous.

902
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: Okay.

903
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 2: So so so twenty one here, he's gonna make sure

904
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,439
Speaker 2: we know this. I will show no partiality to any

905
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 2: man or used flattery toward any person. I'm not gonna

906
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 2: patronize anybody. I'm gonna tell the truth. I'm not gonna

907
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: pick sides. I'm honestly gonna look at this argument going

908
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 2: back and forth, and I'm gonna tell you how I

909
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: see it. I'll be even handed. I'm not gonna I

910
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 2: don't have a favorite in this. And also I'm also

911
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 2: not going to be upset about something and pretend I'm not.

912
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 2: I also won't be flattering anyone in this. I'm gonna

913
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 2: tell it like it is. Here's the way I see it.

914
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 2: And I've already told you what I'm gonna say. I

915
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 2: believe has been inspired by God. So I believe what

916
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say. No matter how young I may be,

917
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: it's still gonna be correct. I'll give you an example.

918
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 2: It wasn't anger, but talking about you know, don't ever

919
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 2: discount people just because they're young. We know Paul told

920
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: this to Timothy. Don't let your youth be an issue here.

921
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 2: You go ahead to be an example to the men

922
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:38,760
Speaker 2: of the church. What now not when you get older now?

923
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: And so we were planning themanchurch dot Com and of

924
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 2: course I was frustrated, you know, trying to reach and

925
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 2: disciple men.

926
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all know this, but men can

927
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: be very frustrated.

928
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 2: And I'm and so finally I got so, I got

929
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: so put out that nobody could teach. Nobody was willing

930
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 2: to teach. No one seemed to have any confidence in

931
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 2: teaching the Word of God. We didn't have curriculum at

932
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: this time, so we start building curriculum. Well here I was,

933
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 2: of course, I that's it. I'm doing the whole video.

934
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 2: And I said, I'm not. I'm on the videos. I'm

935
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 2: just gonna teach the whole thing. Just put me on video,

936
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 2: send me out to all these places, and I'm gonna

937
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 2: be on the video. I'll start it, I'll do the middle,

938
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 2: I'll do the end and and and that'll be it.

939
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 2: It'll be completely done. And the younger person on the team,

940
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 2: youngest guy on the team, said I have to disagree

941
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,240
Speaker 2: with that, And of course I thought, what My first reaction,

942
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 2: you know, under the power of the Holy Spirit, is

943
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 2: who you talking to?

944
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: How much older am I than you?

945
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 2: No, I really didn't. I looked over and I said, okay, yeah,

946
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 2: tell me. He goes, they're never gonna learn to teach.

947
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 2: Then he goes, My suggestion would be, do a little

948
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 2: short video and set them up. You can give them

949
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 2: encouragement and give them, give them something that can start

950
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 2: the small group, but then they have to teach it.

951
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 2: We can provide the questions, we can provide the scripture,

952
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 2: but you should start the small groups. You should not

953
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 2: teach the whole group. If you do that, no one

954
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 2: learns to teach. And he was right, that was wisdom.

955
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 2: And I said, you are one hundred percent right.

956
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: That's exactly that. Thank you for That's what we need

957
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: to do. And that's what we did.

958
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 2: And it has turned out that God gave that young

959
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 2: man wisdom at the time, and what he said has

960
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 2: worked perfectly. And what I had would not have. What

961
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 2: I had, those kind of things already existed. I just

962
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 2: got frustrated and just tried to do the you know,

963
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 2: that's it. And he was wise enough to let me

964
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 2: get that out and say, I would have to respectfully

965
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 2: disagree with that. But let me tell you why. He

966
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 2: didn't just disagree, like because he just didn't like the

967
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 2: way it sounded, or it upset him. He disagreed because

968
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 2: what he had was a better plan. And I had

969
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 2: to also be humble enough to let a younger man

970
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 2: teach me something. And but I'm glad I did so

971
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 2: so verse verse twenty one. I will not show while

972
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 2: were it not? Twenty two so twenty two for I

973
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 2: do not know how to flatter. Apparently this tells us

974
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 2: something about his personality, Right, I've known those people. You know.

975
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 2: You just don't have the ability to flatter, do you.

976
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 2: I'm not really, I just don't have it. Uh, you know,

977
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 2: it's the you know, let's try some encouragement, you know.

978
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 2: But he says no, I kind of like that, you

979
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 2: know what he's saying here, because I will say this.

980
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 2: I have people in my life. My wife is one

981
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 2: of them. If you hear a compliment from her.

982
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: You earned it.

983
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 2: It's not patronizing, it's not flattering you. She even told me.

984
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 2: You know, I told you, I've told you all this.

985
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 2: Be careful of these people that flatter all the time.

986
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: You know, they're not They're not genuine.

987
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 2: Now, if you want to have someone give you a

988
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 2: true encouragement, something that is from the heart, something that's

989
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 2: that's accurate. Meaning I didn't say this until I thought

990
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 2: it was something exceptional. And I will tell you this

991
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 2: because I know her, and I have men in my

992
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 2: life just like her. Because I know her, I honestly

993
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 2: can be at something with her if I'm teaching or

994
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 2: doing whatever, or even doing what I do for a living,

995
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,439
Speaker 2: and people can be coming by patting me on this back.

996
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Some people may say something negative. I

997
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,760
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to it. I really don't. I'm looking

998
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: to her.

999
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 2: And if she looks at me and she said, now

1000
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 2: that was good, then really what everybody else says really

1001
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, because I know that was I know that's accurate.

1002
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 2: And so I think that's all he's saying there. I

1003
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: don't think he's trying to be mean. I think he's

1004
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 2: just saying, I promise you what I say will just

1005
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 2: be straight. I have no you know, ulterior motives. I'm

1006
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 2: not sure do anything but get to the bottom of this, okay,

1007
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: And so and then he says, else, my maker, see

1008
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 2: there would soon take me away if I wasn't gonna

1009
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 2: be genuine, if I had some motive in this or

1010
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 2: some self serving reason for doing this. I'm trying to

1011
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 2: get up here and be some young man that sets

1012
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,959
Speaker 2: a bunch of old men straight. You know, if that's

1013
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 2: my motivation, God's not gonna allow that. He's gonna strike

1014
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 2: me down.

1015
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: I fear God.

1016
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: See he's showing you again. I fear God. I want

1017
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,760
Speaker 2: to do this because I think it's God inspired. Only

1018
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 2: I'm telling you what I think God's told me to

1019
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 2: tell y'all, not what I.

1020
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: Want to tell y'all. I think that's crucial, I think.

1021
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 2: And I'm also not gonna patronize if I think that

1022
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 2: we need to say something tough. Y'all can be that friend,

1023
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 2: can't you. You don't have to be a jerk, and

1024
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 2: you don't have to be someone that's constantly tearing somebody down. However,

1025
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 2: you need to make the commitment, and we need to

1026
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 2: make the commitment to each other that we're not gonna

1027
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 2: patronize each other. If there's something we need to hear

1028
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 2: for our own good or anything, y'all need to tell

1029
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 2: me from our own good, tell me. You know, I

1030
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 2: don't need you to. It's not gonna help me for

1031
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 2: you to give me a false sense of confidence. Something

1032
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 2: really wasn't what it should have been, but you just

1033
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 2: didn't want to tell me that. And you said, hey,

1034
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 2: that was really good today, when really inside your like,

1035
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:20,919
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that was right.

1036
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: And I'll make the case.

1037
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes some of you brought stuff to my attention before

1038
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 2: and I went back and looked and realized I skipped

1039
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 2: a line. I was in the wrong verse what I

1040
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 2: said about that, I was off on my notes.

1041
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 1: That's okay. That helps me, That doesn't bother me.

1042
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 2: I know that I'm a flawed person, and you know,

1043
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 2: the only thing good about my teaching is the word

1044
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 2: of God. I'm not even a great teacher. I realize

1045
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 2: that there's people that are much more eloquent than me,

1046
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 2: and they roll it out better than me. I'm doing

1047
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 2: what God's told me to do the way He's made

1048
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 2: me to do it, so I haven't arright. So you

1049
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 2: guys helping me out welcome that. It only does me good.

1050
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 2: And and if you bring something to me that I

1051
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 2: think you're wrong, and I'm still think that what I

1052
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 2: said was right, I'll defend it. I won't be a

1053
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 2: jerk about it. I'll just show you why I disagree

1054
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 2: with that. But most of the time, y'all see things

1055
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 2: I don't see, and it's always helpful. It really is

1056
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 2: and so I think that's the point that he was making,

1057
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 2: and and I think he has set the stage now

1058
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 2: and then from here we roll on and he's going

1059
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 2: to start out his first order of business.

1060
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: Is to go after Job.

1061
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 2: And some of you like, what, Yeah, he's going to

1062
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 2: rebuke Job and say, here's some things I.

1063
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: Think you got.

1064
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 2: You drifted a little bit on some of this. Now,

1065
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 2: he never has done anything that you know would have

1066
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 2: given Satan his victory.

1067
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: It's not that.

1068
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 2: But the bottom line is, as we know, Job is

1069
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 2: a great man and he's of high character, but he's

1070
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 2: not perfect. And we say blameless, remember that just means

1071
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 2: any secret sin. It's sin that he has not repented

1072
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 2: of sin he's never recognized. But even when we're saying

1073
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 2: yes I'm redeemed, yes I have repented. As long as

1074
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 2: we have flesh Job included, we all still can be corrected.

1075
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 2: And I think the people that are in trouble are

1076
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 2: people that think that you can't never be corrected. Don't

1077
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 2: never take on that attitude, because if you take on

1078
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 2: that attitude, you sound a lot more like the devil

1079
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 2: than you do a disciple of Jesus. Because if you

1080
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 2: are redeemed by Jesus. Guess what the first thing we

1081
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 2: had to admit I'm in need of redemption. Let's pray, Lord,

1082
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 2: thank you for today. Thank you for these men, and

1083
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 2: thank you for the gift they are to me. Thank

1084
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 2: you for the men and women that join us all

1085
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 2: over the world through the incredible technologies, technology that you

1086
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 2: allowed to be created. May your Holy Word go forward.

1087
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 2: Thank you for this continued study in the Book of Job,

1088
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 2: and Lord you go with us as we step out

1089
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 2: now to apply it to our lives and maybe even

1090
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 2: use it to help others.

1091
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: In your name, we pray Amen. Thank you very much.
