I just want to remind us about something. See, 41 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 6: God has given us his grace. He's covered us all 42 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 6: of our failures and all of our mistakes. He's never 43 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 6: gonna He's always gonna love us. What a beautiful position 44 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 6: to be in, Such a secure position to be in. 45 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 6: In fact, when you think about that, it makes you 46 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 6: want to do better. It makes you want to rise higher. 47 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 6: In fact, the scripture says it's the goodness of God 48 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 6: that leads us to repentance. You could say it like this, 49 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 6: it's the goodness of God that works in us and 50 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 6: makes us better, makes us into the people He's called 51 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 6: us to be. See the same goodness, the same love, 52 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 6: the same unfailing love. It not only is for us, 53 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 6: but it's for those around us. It's for our family. 54 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 6: It's for our spouses, our children, our relatives, our neighbor. 55 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 6: You see, God blesses us and gives us this, not 56 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 6: to hold on to it for ourselves, not to say, oh, 57 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 6: this is so great God. No, he blesses us so 58 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 6: that we can spread the blessing, so that we can 59 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 6: give the favor, so. 60 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 7: That we can be that conduit on this earth. 61 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 6: It's called the hands and feet of Jesus. 62 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 7: And I want us. 63 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 6: To believe with all of our heart that we are 64 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 6: so covered and so loved that we are able to 65 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 6: do the same for other people. I want to talk 66 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 6: today about our families, making sure we are covering our families, 67 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 6: making sure we are loving them, considering them, not just 68 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 6: putting them on our to do list, but putting them 69 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 6: on our to love list every day? Are you loving 70 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 6: the gifts that God has giving you? You see, children, 71 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 6: the Bible says that they're a heritage, They're a gift 72 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 6: from God. See, we're not just supposed to work for them. 73 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 6: We're supposed to enjoy them. We're supposed to celebrate with them. 74 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 6: Our spouses, they are a gift from God. They are 75 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 6: someone to help us grow and learn and live life together. 76 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 6: Are we putting them on our love list every single day? 77 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 6: I've been married to Joel for thirty years, and I 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 6: got to tell you this. I still have to remind myself, 79 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 6: is he on my love list? 80 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 7: Because you know, it's fine. 81 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 6: At first, you can get all excited, you have a 82 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 6: little goosebumps. Everything is so wonderful. But as years go by, 83 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 6: you have to continue to stir up the love and 84 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 6: the excitement. I have to remind myself I cannot quit 85 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 6: being Joel's biggest cheerleader. I can't quit telling him how 86 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 6: proud I am of him. 87 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 4: How excited I am that I am his wife. 88 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 6: I can't quit being my very best so that I'll 89 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 6: reflect the very best on him. You see, one of 90 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 6: the greatest ways to love each other is to live 91 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 6: at our very best, to set the tone for the 92 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 6: life we want to live. You see, you set the 93 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 6: tone and the atmosphere for your life. 94 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 7: You're not a thermometer. 95 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 6: A thermometer measures the temperature, but a thermostat sets the temperature. 96 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 7: It sets the tone. 97 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 6: And God has empowered every one of us through his love, 98 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 6: his grace, his mercy, to set the tone and the 99 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 6: temperature for our life and for the lives of other 100 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 6: it says in Hebrews ten twenty four. Let us consider 101 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 6: how we may spur one another on towards love and 102 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 6: good deeds. 103 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 7: You see, if you can. 104 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 6: Spur someone on in God's love, listen, those good deeds 105 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 6: will follow. If you can strengthen them in God's love, 106 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 6: then their life will become better. 107 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 4: You see. It was the love that. 108 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 7: Raised Jesus from the dead. Love is powerful. Love covers all. 109 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 7: Love is the end all be all. 110 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 6: When you don't know what to do, God is saying, 111 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 6: love them anyway, Just love them anyway, because it's a 112 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 6: powerful force. He first loved us, so we can love others. 113 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 6: So I think about that scripture, and I think to myself, 114 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 6: how can I spur my family on. I have to 115 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 6: consider it. That means I have to meditate on it. 116 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 6: I have to think about it. I can't do it 117 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 6: the same way all the time. I don't put it 118 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 6: on an autopilot. I consider, I meditate, I dwell what 119 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 6: works best in this situation. You know, when I think 120 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 6: about how to spur or cheer someone on, I think 121 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 6: about the attitude. 122 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: Of a cheerleader. 123 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 6: Okay, I wasn't ever a cheerleader in high school, although 124 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 6: I wish I would have. I guess I missed my calling. 125 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 6: But I can be a cheerleader right here to my family. 126 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 6: I can share them on. And it's not so much 127 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 6: about raw raw raw. It's about an attitude. You think 128 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 6: about being at the high school game and there's the 129 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 6: cheerleader on the sidelines. What's the attitude of those cheerleaders? 130 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 6: The attitude is a winning attitude. You see when the 131 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 6: scoreboard is in their favor, Pom palms are up and 132 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 6: they are cheering their team on. When the scoreboard is 133 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 6: down and their team is fumbling the ball and they 134 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 6: don't seem to be able to get it together, their 135 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 6: tone never changes. 136 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 7: They have a winning tone. 137 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 4: Just a different chant. 138 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 6: That's when you'll hear defense, defense, but their tone is 139 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 6: still pointing the team towards winning. It's saying, hey, we 140 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 6: can score, let's keep our spirits high. I have never 141 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 6: ever seen the scoreboard down on the team that the 142 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 6: cheerleaders were rooting for. Man, the guys are fumbling the ball. 143 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 6: It doesn't look good. The cheerleader puts your palm, palms down, 144 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 6: shakes her head, says, I'm out of here. I've never 145 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 6: seen it. That's not the attitude of a cheerleader. A 146 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 6: cheerleader knows how to keep the spirits up, but may 147 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 6: chant a little different when need be, but always points 148 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 6: their team to the winning goal. 149 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 7: And that's what I want us to think about. 150 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 6: What is your attitude towards those difficult situations when maybe 151 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 6: your husband, your wife, your children, they don't seem to 152 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 6: be able to get it together. 153 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 7: Man, they keep fumbling the ball all what's going on? 154 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 4: What do you do? 155 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 7: What do you do when they do score? 156 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 6: Do you take time to celebrate, to shout, to tell them. 157 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 7: How proud you are of them? 158 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 6: You see, you got to keep this attitude in the 159 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 6: good times and in the bad times. It's called consistency. 160 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 6: And if we're gonna set the tone for our family, 161 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 6: and we're gonna create the life that we want to 162 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 6: live with our family. We're gonna have to be consistent. 163 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 6: We're gonna have to keep the tone of a winner. Listen, 164 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 6: the last thing I want to hear when I'm fumbling 165 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 6: the ball. 166 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 7: Is what you do that for loser. 167 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 6: I know that I'm fumbling the ball. I know that 168 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 6: I haven't done well. I'm trying. I need someone to 169 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 6: support me, to prop me up, to direct me towards 170 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 6: the goal. 171 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 4: I need to know that I can and score. 172 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 6: I don't need to be told that I'm fumbling the ball. 173 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 7: I need someone there for me. 174 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 6: It's interesting because the Bible says give to other people 175 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 6: what you want. 176 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 4: That's a good way to keep it all into. 177 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 6: Perspective when you're facing difficulties, when you're facing difficult situations 178 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 6: with family members. And I know there are some family 179 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 6: members that seem to never be able to get it right. 180 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 6: But can I tell you, if you get it wrong, 181 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 6: it's not going to change a thing. If you decide 182 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 6: to tell them how bad they are, that's not gonna 183 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 6: change a thing. But if you'll get this tone, this 184 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 6: winning tone right, you have a better chance of propping 185 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 6: them up and helping them. 186 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 7: You see, it's our response. 187 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 6: Are we walking in a place of peace? Where do 188 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 6: we get that peace? We get it from God. You 189 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 6: know what I said before, we get everything from God. 190 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 6: We can only live this life in victory by getting 191 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 6: it from God. 192 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 4: You see, He's giving it to us so that. 193 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 7: We can give it to others. 194 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 6: I realized when my daughter was about eight years old 195 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 6: how important my response was that it set the tone. 196 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 7: For what would go on. 197 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 6: Joel I think it was maybe his first book or 198 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 6: second book, and we were as a family traveling all 199 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 6: over the country. The publisher had set all of these 200 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 6: books signings up in different dates, and so they had 201 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 6: chartered us a little plane, and we were going all 202 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 6: over the country. Sometimes we would be in three different 203 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 6: states in one day, and so we have always done 204 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 6: this ministry as a family. So we had I had 205 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 6: my little eight year old girl in my little my 206 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 6: probably about eleven year old son, and so we'd probably 207 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 6: go into our second state. And it was the middle 208 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 6: of the day and we were going in this little 209 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 6: plane and my eight year old daughter, Alexander, was sitting 210 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 6: across from me, and we were just kind of hanging 211 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 6: chilling a little bit, when all of a sudden, the 212 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 6: oxygen masks falls from the ceiling. I just panicked, big 213 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 6: old eyes, huge gasp. 214 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 4: I was like, we're dead. 215 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 6: Mother, light year old girl didn't know what was going on, 216 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 6: but the tone setter was panicking. The mom and the 217 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 6: bunch was freaking out, so she immediately began to cry, 218 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 6: just ball. All of a sudden she saw me and 219 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 6: it just let go of an emotion of this is 220 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 6: a bad situation. And I realized, Wow, I just set 221 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 6: the tone for her. She was looking at me, and 222 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 6: I set the tone for panic, for fear, for difficulty, 223 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 6: for doubt, for unbelief. If I would have sat there 224 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 6: and kept my cool and thought, you know what, if 225 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 6: I scream, it's not gonna keep this plane in the air. 226 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 6: If I freak out, it's not gonna change anything, I 227 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 6: could have just realized that my response made all the 228 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 6: difference in the world. 229 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: Now. 230 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 6: Needless to say, the pilot came up and said, sorry, 231 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 6: a little bit of a malfunction. As he crammed the 232 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 6: thing back up in the ceiling, thanked God in heaven. 233 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 6: I was like, oh, but it showed me my response 234 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 6: is powerful. And I tell that little story to say, 235 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 6: your response is powerful. Whether your child is eight years old, 236 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 6: eighteen years old, or thirty eight years old, your. 237 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 4: Response you set the tone. It's powerful. 238 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 6: When I call my mom on the phone to this day, 239 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 6: she literally has the power to set the tone for me, 240 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 6: whether I like it or not. There's a powerful thing 241 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 6: because it's called the anointing of being a parent. 242 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 7: It's just the way God made it. 243 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 6: So I want to remind you today and myself, are 244 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 6: we going to celebrate in the good times and are 245 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 6: we going to keep that winning spirit in the difficult times.

And I believe if 248 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 6: we will do that and we get that from God, 249 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 6: we're gonna set the tone and have a great life, 250 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 6: not only for ourselves but for our families.
