00:00:00,370 --> 00:00:02,890
Welcome to From the Pulpit in Classic Sermons.

2
00:00:03,350 --> 00:00:04,910
Each week we bring you a different message

3
00:00:04,910 --> 00:00:06,970
from some of history's greatest speakers in the

4
00:00:06,970 --> 00:00:09,730
Christian faith, and powerful sermons from modern preachers

5
00:00:09,730 --> 00:00:09,990
too.

6
00:00:10,690 --> 00:00:12,770
This week we have William Blackburn with this

7
00:00:12,770 --> 00:00:14,770
message, God's Plan for the Family.

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,500
One out of every two marriages end in

9
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:23,040
divorce.

10
00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:26,740
In 1960 it was one out of ten

11
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:29,380
marriages ended in divorce, in 1860 it was

12
00:00:29,380 --> 00:00:30,180
one out of 36.

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,940
There are 30 million children in America living

14
00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:36,660
in a single parent home.

15
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,520
There are two and a half million people

16
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,940
living in marriage that would be literally hell

17
00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:42,580
on earth.

18
00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:45,580
Husbands and wives are cheating on each other

19
00:00:45,580 --> 00:00:48,200
with adultery, wife swapping, and all kinds of

20
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,080
sexual sins.

21
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,260
10% of our population is homosexual.

22
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:55,600
Child abuse is a national problem.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,640
Last year 50 million people fell victim to

24
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,120
a beating by somebody in their own family.

25
00:01:03,819 --> 00:01:07,020
Parents are abusing children, children are abusing parents,

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,420
young people are abusing older people.

27
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,440
The world is in a mess.

28
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,620
A 13-year-old teenager, by the time

29
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:20,280
he's 13, has witnessed 13,000 murders on

30
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:20,980
television.

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,840
Children are running away from home at astronomical

32
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,300
figures.

33
00:01:26,860 --> 00:01:29,480
60% of all the drugs sold in

34
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,640
the world are sold in the United States

35
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,420
of America.

36
00:01:34,070 --> 00:01:39,880
In America, $220 million is spent every single

37
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,620
day on illegal drugs.

38
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,000
$65 billion, fellas, that's with a B, $65

39
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,800
billion is spent on drug-related law enforcement

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,000
each year.

41
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,960
One million teenagers get pregnant every year.

42
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,260
50% of all high school seniors get

43
00:02:01,260 --> 00:02:03,080
drunk once a month.

44
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,680
500,000 teenagers run away from home each

45
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,100
year.

46
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,260
Our families are in a mess.

47
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,740
Our country is in a mess.

48
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,040
And the Bible says it doesn't have to

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,180
be that way because Jesus Christ said there

50
00:02:17,180 --> 00:02:18,500
are two kinds of homes.

51
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,200
There's a man who is a wise man.

52
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,540
He goes out and he builds his home

53
00:02:23,540 --> 00:02:24,580
on the rock.

54
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:26,260
That is, he builds it on the Word

55
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:26,860
of God.

56
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:29,280
He builds it on the Lord Jesus Christ.

57
00:02:29,420 --> 00:02:31,260
If he will build that home on the

58
00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:33,280
power of God, on the Word of God,

59
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,400
the Bible says when the wind blows and

60
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,060
the rain falls, it will stand because it

61
00:02:38,060 --> 00:02:39,260
is built on the rock.

62
00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:41,220
But the Bible says there's another kind of

63
00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:42,920
house, another kind of home.

64
00:02:43,060 --> 00:02:44,960
It is built by a foolish man.

65
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,640
It is built by a man and he

66
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:49,500
builds his home on temporal things, on temporal

67
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:50,080
values.

68
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:53,400
No God, no Holy Spirit, no Word of

69
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,900
God, and the Bible says this man is

70
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:56,980
foolish because he may have a big fancy

71
00:02:56,980 --> 00:02:59,280
house, he may have a big job, he

72
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,640
may think he's doing well, but because his

73
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:03,920
house is built on the sand, when the

74
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,500
rain comes, when the wind comes, the Bible

75
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:10,020
says that home will fail and great will

76
00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:11,680
be its fall.

77
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:13,880
Friend, the problem we have across America is

78
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,740
our families are falling apart.

79
00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:19,320
Our homes are disintegrating before our very eyes.

80
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,600
And I want to tell you, friends, that

81
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,860
is not God's plan.

82
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,720
God loves the home.

83
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,920
Before the church, before government, before any other

84
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,520
organization, God created the home.

85
00:03:29,660 --> 00:03:30,980
But there are a lot of enemies out

86
00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:32,340
there against the home.

87
00:03:32,740 --> 00:03:34,700
The devil is fighting against the home.

88
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,040
The devil is fighting against good godly homes.

89
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,000
And the first enemy we have of the

90
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,360
home is alcohol.

91
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,340
I want to tell you, dear friends, that

92
00:03:42,340 --> 00:03:43,800
is a tool of the devil.

93
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:47,300
In the Arkansas Baptist homes, 83% of

94
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:49,160
all the children that are in the Arkansas

95
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,140
Baptist home are there because of alcohol, either

96
00:03:52,140 --> 00:03:54,480
in their own lives or in the lives

97
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,540
of their family.

98
00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:58,020
Alcohol is destroying the world.

99
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,820
It is a tool of the devil.

100
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:01,820
Sir, don't come to me and talk about

101
00:04:01,820 --> 00:04:02,660
social drinking.

102
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,060
Don't talk to me about drinking in moderation.

103
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,600
I hate alcohol.

104
00:04:07,140 --> 00:04:08,720
I hate the work of the devil.

105
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:10,200
And I want to tell you, friends, I

106
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,300
will fight against it.

107
00:04:14,770 --> 00:04:17,529
Alcohol is the great destroyer.

108
00:04:17,550 --> 00:04:19,510
I have seen it destroy lives.

109
00:04:19,510 --> 00:04:21,550
I have been to the gospel rescue mission.

110
00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:24,130
I have seen men after men after men.

111
00:04:24,250 --> 00:04:26,250
I've seen men come through that place who

112
00:04:26,250 --> 00:04:29,470
had master's degrees in accounting, and they had

113
00:04:29,470 --> 00:04:32,030
lost their family, their friends, their home, their

114
00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:33,710
career because of alcohol.

115
00:04:33,870 --> 00:04:35,650
At the gospel rescue mission, I was there

116
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:38,270
one day when a former Dallas Cowboy football

117
00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:39,350
player came by.

118
00:04:39,610 --> 00:04:41,790
He had lost it all because of alcohol.

119
00:04:41,970 --> 00:04:43,490
Sir, don't tell me about alcohol.

120
00:04:43,890 --> 00:04:44,590
I hate it.

121
00:04:44,770 --> 00:04:46,150
It destroys the home.

122
00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:47,590
It destroys the life.

123
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:49,710
I will fight against it with every fiber

124
00:04:49,710 --> 00:04:50,430
of my being.

125
00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:52,350
As long as I have strength, I will

126
00:04:52,350 --> 00:04:52,850
fight it.

127
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:54,450
If I have a fist, I will hit

128
00:04:54,450 --> 00:04:54,590
it.

129
00:04:54,730 --> 00:04:55,910
As long as I have a foot, I

130
00:04:55,910 --> 00:04:56,530
will kick it.

131
00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:58,190
I will take my teeth and bite it.

132
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:59,490
When I get old and lose my teeth,

133
00:04:59,670 --> 00:05:00,430
I will gum it.

134
00:05:00,470 --> 00:05:02,410
But I will fight against alcohol.

135
00:05:02,610 --> 00:05:03,870
It is an enemy of the home.

136
00:05:05,890 --> 00:05:09,150
Another enemy of the home is divorce.

137
00:05:09,770 --> 00:05:11,470
We live in a day where folks think

138
00:05:11,470 --> 00:05:13,130
that getting married is like going steady.

139
00:05:13,850 --> 00:05:15,190
We go and we get together.

140
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:16,490
If it doesn't work out, we have a

141
00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:18,190
problem, then we break up and get somebody

142
00:05:18,190 --> 00:05:18,430
else.

143
00:05:18,470 --> 00:05:21,070
But God's plan is one man for one

144
00:05:21,070 --> 00:05:22,210
woman for one lifetime.

145
00:05:22,810 --> 00:05:23,990
And I want to tell you, friends, when

146
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:25,870
you make a commitment to that woman or

147
00:05:25,870 --> 00:05:27,630
you make a commitment to that man, you

148
00:05:27,630 --> 00:05:29,270
are committing before a holy God.

149
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:31,790
I give my life for better, for worse,

150
00:05:31,890 --> 00:05:33,030
forever, friends.

151
00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:34,270
And I want to tell you, a man

152
00:05:34,270 --> 00:05:36,530
needs to look hard into his heart before

153
00:05:36,530 --> 00:05:38,870
he makes that commitment because divorce is an

154
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:39,130
enemy.

155
00:05:39,330 --> 00:05:40,670
And also materialism.

156
00:05:40,670 --> 00:05:42,090
So we live in a day, buddy, if

157
00:05:42,090 --> 00:05:44,430
you don't have fancy clothes with name tags

158
00:05:44,430 --> 00:05:48,110
and fancy guys who created things to take

159
00:05:48,110 --> 00:05:50,330
the money out of your pocket, fancy sneakers

160
00:05:50,330 --> 00:05:52,710
that cost $100, we're so wrapped up in

161
00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:54,830
materialism, it is killing us.

162
00:05:54,970 --> 00:05:57,610
We have folks, friends, who their whole life

163
00:05:57,610 --> 00:05:58,970
is to make sure they've got the right

164
00:05:58,970 --> 00:05:59,770
kind of clothes.

165
00:06:00,470 --> 00:06:02,930
Materialism is killing the home right now.

166
00:06:03,210 --> 00:06:05,550
Guys go out there, they can barely buy

167
00:06:05,550 --> 00:06:07,830
groceries, but their kid has to have the

168
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:10,450
next fancy pair of shoes that cost $100.

169
00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:12,650
They can't go and buy a decent pair

170
00:06:12,650 --> 00:06:14,390
of pants, they've got to get name brand.

171
00:06:14,590 --> 00:06:15,630
It is killing us.

172
00:06:15,750 --> 00:06:18,790
The pride of secularism and materialism.

173
00:06:18,910 --> 00:06:20,290
I'm telling you, you can go out there,

174
00:06:20,310 --> 00:06:21,870
there are a lot of homes, dear friends.

175
00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:23,470
There are a lot of people in homes

176
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:25,730
that have cars, but they don't have compassion.

177
00:06:25,950 --> 00:06:27,890
They have luxury, but they don't have love.

178
00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:29,610
They have a lot of clothes, but they

179
00:06:29,610 --> 00:06:30,650
don't have a lot of Christianity.

180
00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:32,590
And many times when I look at home,

181
00:06:32,690 --> 00:06:34,410
a house, I will look at that fancy

182
00:06:34,410 --> 00:06:36,790
house and I'll think to myself, I wonder

183
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:39,030
if there's a home inside that house, because

184
00:06:39,030 --> 00:06:41,630
it takes more than paint and mortar and

185
00:06:41,630 --> 00:06:42,770
brick to make a home.

186
00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:45,190
It takes God in a house to make

187
00:06:45,190 --> 00:06:47,210
it a home and an enemy of the

188
00:06:47,210 --> 00:06:52,480
home is the new morality.

189
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,980
Now buddy, there's no such thing as a

190
00:06:54,980 --> 00:06:55,680
new morality.

191
00:06:56,180 --> 00:06:58,980
It's the old immorality just brought up to

192
00:06:58,980 --> 00:06:59,220
date.

193
00:06:59,660 --> 00:07:01,480
We live in a day where folks live

194
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,060
in sin and they're proud of it.

195
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,000
We have folks that think it sometimes builds

196
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,380
character, the more sinful they are.

197
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,360
Men take pride in their sin.

198
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,200
They cheat on their wives, they cheat on

199
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,540
their husbands, they drink, they smoke, they take

200
00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:16,760
alcohol and drugs, and they wonder why their

201
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,800
life is a mess.

202
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,680
Because God says this, God says, the soul

203
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,640
that sinneth, it shall surely die.

204
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,940
The Bible says, friend, the wages of sin

205
00:07:24,940 --> 00:07:25,560
is death.

206
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:27,500
And we need to wake up, friend, what

207
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:28,720
we need to do is to go back

208
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,520
to the old ways.

209
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,800
Somebody said, well, you're one of those old

210
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,500
fashioned preachers.

211
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:33,220
You want to take us back a hundred

212
00:07:33,220 --> 00:07:33,540
years.

213
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:34,780
I want to take us back about 2000

214
00:07:34,780 --> 00:07:35,480
years, buddy.

215
00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:37,240
I want to take us back to the

216
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,220
time of Jesus.

217
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,160
And we have enemies of the home.

218
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:42,560
And God says, listen, the home is important.

219
00:07:42,740 --> 00:07:43,800
And I want to talk to you about

220
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,280
the home.

221
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,280
And I want to talk about the responsibility

222
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:46,960
of the home.

223
00:07:47,060 --> 00:07:49,220
Number one, I want to talk about the

224
00:07:49,220 --> 00:07:49,540
men.

225
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,920
I want to talk about the men.

226
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,440
Men look at me, you're the key.

227
00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:56,380
I tell you what men, the reason we're

228
00:07:56,380 --> 00:07:57,820
in trouble is because of you and I,

229
00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:00,560
our families are in trouble because you and

230
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,160
I have dropped the ball.

231
00:08:02,540 --> 00:08:04,340
You see, the Bible says the man is

232
00:08:04,340 --> 00:08:06,440
to be the head of the home.

233
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,440
The Bible says in first Corinthians 11, three,

234
00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:10,260
but I would have, you know, that the

235
00:08:10,260 --> 00:08:11,740
head of every man is Christ.

236
00:08:11,820 --> 00:08:12,900
The head of the woman is the man

237
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:14,960
and the head of Christ is God in

238
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,460
Ephesians for the husband is head of the

239
00:08:16,460 --> 00:08:18,660
wife, even as Christ is head of the

240
00:08:18,660 --> 00:08:21,020
church and he is the savior of the

241
00:08:21,020 --> 00:08:21,360
body.

242
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,940
And listen to me, friend, you've got to

243
00:08:22,940 --> 00:08:23,520
be the man.

244
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,460
You've got to be the man, the leader,

245
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,400
the head of the house.

246
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,000
You've got to lead your wife.

247
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,220
You've got to point her in the right

248
00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:29,540
direction.

249
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:31,240
You've got to be God's man.

250
00:08:31,340 --> 00:08:33,080
You've got to be the leader of your

251
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:33,460
home.

252
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:36,120
You've got to be the leader and provider

253
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,159
of your home friend.

254
00:08:37,419 --> 00:08:39,539
I'm telling you men, the Bible says in

255
00:08:39,539 --> 00:08:42,280
first Timothy five, eight, if any man provide

256
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,660
not for his own and especially for those

257
00:08:44,660 --> 00:08:46,820
of his own whole house, he has denied

258
00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:49,460
the faith and it's worse than an infidel

259
00:08:49,460 --> 00:08:49,800
friends.

260
00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:51,340
I want to tell you what we have

261
00:08:51,340 --> 00:08:53,480
men today who have given up their responsibilities.

262
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,480
We have men who have gone out and

263
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,300
they think their main goal in life is

264
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:00,300
to work, put a big pile of money.

265
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,540
They take no responsibility for their home.

266
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:04,260
And I'm telling you the number one problem

267
00:09:04,260 --> 00:09:07,100
we have in America today is fatherless children.

268
00:09:07,420 --> 00:09:09,540
I'm telling you friends, the big problem we

269
00:09:09,540 --> 00:09:12,180
have today is we don't have men standing

270
00:09:12,180 --> 00:09:13,080
up for God.

271
00:09:13,260 --> 00:09:16,240
We don't have men shouldering their responsibility and

272
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,800
say, Hey, this is my family.

273
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,220
I'm going to lead them in the right

274
00:09:19,220 --> 00:09:19,720
direction.

275
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,080
Men, you must be the head of the

276
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,460
home.

277
00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:23,820
You must be the provider.

278
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:25,880
The Bible says, sir, if you don't provide

279
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,960
for your family, you're worse than an infidel.

280
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,840
I want to tell you the greatest thing

281
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,460
in the world is to see a man

282
00:09:31,460 --> 00:09:33,400
who loves his family, to see a man

283
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,640
who will give himself for his family, who

284
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,800
will work hard and provide for his family.

285
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:40,180
There's no greater honor men than to give

286
00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:42,740
your life that your family can live for

287
00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:43,220
God.

288
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,280
But men listen to me.

289
00:09:44,380 --> 00:09:46,460
The Bible says you're also to be the

290
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:49,260
priest of your family.

291
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:51,840
Now, man, this is where most of you

292
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:52,800
have missed the boat.

293
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,100
Most of you here tonight, you would work

294
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:55,460
hard.

295
00:09:55,580 --> 00:09:56,780
You would provide for your family.

296
00:09:56,980 --> 00:09:58,480
You would, you would take care of your

297
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,040
family financially and physically, but I, friend, the

298
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,120
Bible says you're to be the priest of

299
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:03,580
your family.

300
00:10:03,660 --> 00:10:06,500
Look at me, man, the priest, you can't

301
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:07,580
count on Sunday school.

302
00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:09,240
You can't count on the church.

303
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:11,220
You can't count on the world to lead

304
00:10:11,220 --> 00:10:12,360
your family to God.

305
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,060
It is your responsibility, man.

306
00:10:14,060 --> 00:10:16,760
It is your responsibility to be the priest

307
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,660
of your home, to be the leader of

308
00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:19,540
your home, buddy.

309
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,480
If you don't have a family altar in

310
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,700
your home to pray and read the Bible,

311
00:10:23,860 --> 00:10:25,180
you are failing your family.

312
00:10:25,460 --> 00:10:26,800
Man, I want to tell you, it's not

313
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,480
your wife's responsibility to pray with your children.

314
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,800
It is not your wife's responsibility to read

315
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,920
the Bible to your family.

316
00:10:33,180 --> 00:10:34,640
Man, it is your responsibility.

317
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,980
You are the man, you are the priest,

318
00:10:37,180 --> 00:10:38,480
you are God's representation.

319
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:40,560
You ought to get your family together and

320
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:42,240
you ought to read that Bible every single

321
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:42,880
night together.

322
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,060
You ought to pray together, teach your children

323
00:10:45,060 --> 00:10:47,280
how to praise God, show your kids some

324
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,860
passion for God, and then buddy, it's your

325
00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:51,760
responsibility to get them in God's house.

326
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,100
I'm telling you, friends, the Bible says that

327
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:56,520
we should never neglect coming to God's house

328
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,500
and man, on Sunday morning, you ought to

329
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:00,300
bounce up out of that bed and you

330
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:02,040
ought to be excited to go to God's

331
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,300
house.

332
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:04,020
You ought to be excited to go and

333
00:11:04,020 --> 00:11:04,520
serve God.

334
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,760
Your children ought to see that passion in

335
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,040
your life, and I want to tell you

336
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,000
the sorriest thing I've ever seen in my

337
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,020
life is for some old boy to come

338
00:11:12,020 --> 00:11:14,480
up to church, got his old t-shirt

339
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,600
on, hat and shave, he drops his wife

340
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,900
and children off to go to church and

341
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:18,920
he goes back home.

342
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,080
Sir, that's the sorriest thing a man could

343
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:21,380
do.

344
00:11:21,660 --> 00:11:23,560
I'm telling you, men, we must be the

345
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:24,440
head of our families.

346
00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:26,320
We must take charge of being the head

347
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:26,840
of your family.

348
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,420
Does not mean that you're bossy and ugly

349
00:11:29,420 --> 00:11:30,120
and disrespectful.

350
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,680
It means we give ourselves for our family.

351
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,300
We lay our life down for our family.

352
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:36,600
We provide the leadership.

353
00:11:36,940 --> 00:11:38,220
We provide the resources.

354
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:40,780
We provide the motivation for our family and

355
00:11:40,780 --> 00:11:41,020
men.

356
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,320
The Bible says we've got to take care

357
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,980
of our wife, and the Bible says, number

358
00:11:43,980 --> 00:11:46,880
one, we must love our wife.

359
00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:50,000
Four times the Bible commands, listen men, four

360
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,620
times the Bible commands the man to love

361
00:11:53,620 --> 00:11:57,120
his wife, but the Bible never commands the

362
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,600
wife to love her husband, did you know

363
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:58,900
that?

364
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:01,500
God commands, you know why God commands you

365
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:02,080
to love your wife?

366
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:04,460
Because God knows if a man will love

367
00:12:04,460 --> 00:12:05,960
his wife, and that word love is the

368
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,200
word agape, which means to sacrifice for his

369
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,180
wife, to put her needs ahead of his

370
00:12:11,180 --> 00:12:11,880
own needs.

371
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,840
When a man loves his wife with that

372
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,360
agape love, and a man loves God with

373
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,900
all of his heart, and a man has

374
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:19,740
a passion for God, I want to tell

375
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:21,260
you, friends, a woman wants to follow a

376
00:12:21,260 --> 00:12:22,020
man like that.

377
00:12:22,220 --> 00:12:24,040
She wants to honor a man like that.

378
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,700
You need to love your wife as Christ

379
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:30,200
loved the church and gave himself for it,

380
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,920
and men, you need to tell your wife

381
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,800
you love her every single day.

382
00:12:34,380 --> 00:12:35,560
You don't need to be like that old

383
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:35,880
boy.

384
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,600
His wife said, well, you never tell me

385
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,240
you love me.

386
00:12:38,420 --> 00:12:39,760
He said, I told you when we got

387
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,020
married, if I change my mind, I'll let

388
00:12:41,020 --> 00:12:41,400
you know.

389
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,340
You don't need to be like that.

390
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,820
Every day, you ought to tell your wife

391
00:12:45,820 --> 00:12:47,440
you love her, and you ought to show

392
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,860
her by sacrificing and giving yourself, and our

393
00:12:50,860 --> 00:12:52,500
Bible also says not only should you love

394
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:56,040
your wife, but you should lift your wife.

395
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,500
The Bible says husbands love your wives and

396
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:02,160
be not bitter against them.

397
00:13:02,620 --> 00:13:04,700
It does not please God when we are

398
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:05,960
hard to get along with.

399
00:13:06,340 --> 00:13:08,100
It does not please God when we have

400
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:08,940
the wrong attitude.

401
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,900
It does not please God when we are

402
00:13:11,900 --> 00:13:13,960
negative on our wives.

403
00:13:14,180 --> 00:13:16,320
The Bible says we're to encourage our wives.

404
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,820
We're to lift our wives up.

405
00:13:17,980 --> 00:13:19,180
We're to motivate our wives.

406
00:13:19,260 --> 00:13:20,960
We're to encourage them to be the very

407
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,740
best they can be for God.

408
00:13:22,940 --> 00:13:24,800
We need to lift our wives up, friends,

409
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,840
and not be so negative and narrow-minded.

410
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:28,320
You know, we don't need to be like

411
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,960
that old boy that when his wife wrote

412
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,100
some checks and those checks overdrew the account

413
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:34,840
and they bounced.

414
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,380
He came home.

415
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,880
He was fuming and fussing, and he said,

416
00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:39,140
I don't understand this.

417
00:13:39,220 --> 00:13:40,720
I don't know how God made you so

418
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,200
beautiful and yet so cotton-picking dumb.

419
00:13:44,580 --> 00:13:46,520
She said, well, he made me beautiful, so

420
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,320
you'd love me.

421
00:13:47,380 --> 00:13:49,060
He made me dumb, so I'd love you.

422
00:13:55,130 --> 00:13:57,310
Not only should you love your wife, not

423
00:13:57,310 --> 00:13:59,190
only should you lift your wife, but friend,

424
00:13:59,270 --> 00:14:01,890
you ought to lead your wife.

425
00:14:02,470 --> 00:14:03,490
Now, friend, I want to tell you the

426
00:14:03,490 --> 00:14:05,530
sad fact is that in most marriages, the

427
00:14:05,530 --> 00:14:08,930
wife wears the spiritual pants in that family.

428
00:14:09,550 --> 00:14:12,050
Men, God is sick and tired of that.

429
00:14:12,730 --> 00:14:14,330
He's sick and tired of it.

430
00:14:14,570 --> 00:14:15,830
Men, what God wants you to do is

431
00:14:15,830 --> 00:14:17,430
he wants you to be a real man.

432
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:19,130
He wants you to put on the whole

433
00:14:19,130 --> 00:14:20,070
armor of God.

434
00:14:20,270 --> 00:14:21,690
He wants you to get out into the

435
00:14:21,690 --> 00:14:22,030
battle.

436
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:23,710
He wants you to have a passion for

437
00:14:23,710 --> 00:14:23,910
him.

438
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:25,850
He wants you to get your family safe

439
00:14:25,850 --> 00:14:28,430
and secure, to love your wife, love your

440
00:14:28,430 --> 00:14:30,730
children, be an example to your kids, not

441
00:14:30,730 --> 00:14:32,310
just tell them how to live, but to

442
00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:33,570
live like they ought to live.

443
00:14:33,730 --> 00:14:35,050
So they'll have somebody to look at.

444
00:14:35,130 --> 00:14:36,530
Friend, you've got to be a man for

445
00:14:36,530 --> 00:14:38,550
God and God is looking for some men

446
00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:40,990
today to stand up for him, to be

447
00:14:40,990 --> 00:14:42,010
the head of the house.

448
00:14:42,190 --> 00:14:43,770
But friends, it's more than being the boss

449
00:14:43,770 --> 00:14:45,790
of the house is to be God's man,

450
00:14:45,830 --> 00:14:47,230
to love your family with all of your

451
00:14:47,230 --> 00:14:49,270
heart, to set an example, to be a

452
00:14:49,270 --> 00:14:51,950
provider, to be a priest, to love your

453
00:14:51,950 --> 00:14:54,070
wife, to lift your wife, to lead your

454
00:14:54,070 --> 00:14:55,690
wife, and to be an example to your

455
00:14:55,690 --> 00:14:57,570
kids of what a godly man ought to

456
00:14:57,570 --> 00:14:57,910
be.

457
00:14:57,910 --> 00:14:59,630
And my friend, the first thing you need

458
00:14:59,630 --> 00:15:01,630
to do in order to be God's man

459
00:15:01,630 --> 00:15:04,230
is you need to be born again by

460
00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:05,030
the spirit of God.

461
00:15:05,850 --> 00:15:07,810
There's some of you men here tonight, you've

462
00:15:07,810 --> 00:15:09,290
never had an experience with Christ.

463
00:15:09,410 --> 00:15:10,630
Oh, you've walked an hour and prayed a

464
00:15:10,630 --> 00:15:13,210
prayer, but in your heart, there's something missing.

465
00:15:13,790 --> 00:15:15,550
You've never been born again by the Holy

466
00:15:15,550 --> 00:15:16,070
Spirit.

467
00:15:16,410 --> 00:15:18,170
And you'd like for your family to come

468
00:15:18,170 --> 00:15:18,470
together.

469
00:15:18,570 --> 00:15:20,130
You'd like to have joy and peace.

470
00:15:20,270 --> 00:15:21,890
You'd like to have a passion for God,

471
00:15:21,950 --> 00:15:22,970
but first you've got to get God in

472
00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:23,670
your heart, sir.

473
00:15:24,210 --> 00:15:25,650
You've walked an hour, you've prayed a prayer,

474
00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:26,930
but you've not been born again.

475
00:15:27,290 --> 00:15:29,330
And tonight, God brought you here to save

476
00:15:29,330 --> 00:15:31,110
your soul so that you could build that

477
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:32,930
house on the solid rock, man.

478
00:15:33,050 --> 00:15:34,250
You've got to be the head of your

479
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:34,630
home.

480
00:15:34,810 --> 00:15:36,830
You've got to be God's man leading your

481
00:15:36,830 --> 00:15:38,650
family if you want your family and your

482
00:15:38,650 --> 00:15:39,730
home to be a success.

483
00:15:39,950 --> 00:15:41,670
The man is the head, but you know,

484
00:15:42,330 --> 00:15:45,490
the wife is the heart of the home.

485
00:15:46,530 --> 00:15:51,010
The Bible tells us in Proverbs 31, verse

486
00:15:51,010 --> 00:15:53,110
10, it says, who can find a virtuous

487
00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:53,610
woman?

488
00:15:53,610 --> 00:15:56,810
For her price is far above rubies.

489
00:15:57,470 --> 00:16:00,010
Her children rise up and call her blessed.

490
00:16:00,510 --> 00:16:04,490
Her husband also, and he praises her.

491
00:16:05,210 --> 00:16:07,470
Oh, the Bible says some wonderful thing about

492
00:16:07,470 --> 00:16:07,790
women.

493
00:16:08,450 --> 00:16:09,970
I'm telling you, women, you just don't understand

494
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:12,130
the influence you have on your husband.

495
00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:15,010
You don't understand the influence you have on

496
00:16:15,010 --> 00:16:15,710
your children.

497
00:16:16,190 --> 00:16:18,010
I'm telling you, it really is true that

498
00:16:18,010 --> 00:16:20,170
behind every successful man is a good woman.

499
00:16:20,210 --> 00:16:21,050
That's the truth, friend.

500
00:16:21,050 --> 00:16:23,750
And women, you don't understand what a powerful

501
00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:24,970
influence you have.

502
00:16:25,330 --> 00:16:26,990
And the world has lied to you and

503
00:16:26,990 --> 00:16:28,850
deceived you to tell you that you've got

504
00:16:28,850 --> 00:16:29,410
to go out there.

505
00:16:29,490 --> 00:16:30,110
You've got to work.

506
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:30,890
You've got to make money.

507
00:16:30,950 --> 00:16:32,050
You've got to be just like the world.

508
00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:33,570
You've come a long way, baby.

509
00:16:33,750 --> 00:16:34,950
That's a lie from the devil.

510
00:16:35,130 --> 00:16:36,430
What you ought to do is invest your

511
00:16:36,430 --> 00:16:37,530
life in your children.

512
00:16:37,810 --> 00:16:39,890
Invest your life supporting your husband.

513
00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:41,370
Let God use you.

514
00:16:41,410 --> 00:16:43,190
I'm telling you, there's nothing greater than being

515
00:16:43,190 --> 00:16:44,130
a woman in the home.

516
00:16:44,290 --> 00:16:47,530
There's nothing greater than molding future presidents or

517
00:16:47,530 --> 00:16:48,970
future preachers or state.

518
00:16:48,970 --> 00:16:51,150
There's nothing more important than a woman who

519
00:16:51,150 --> 00:16:53,070
has an influence on her children and her

520
00:16:53,070 --> 00:16:53,430
husband.

521
00:16:54,390 --> 00:16:55,990
But the Bible also says a woman can

522
00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:56,690
be a curse.

523
00:16:57,730 --> 00:17:01,750
The Bible says in Proverbs 12, 4, a

524
00:17:01,750 --> 00:17:03,790
virtuous woman is a crown to her husband,

525
00:17:04,310 --> 00:17:08,030
but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness

526
00:17:08,030 --> 00:17:08,849
in his bones.

527
00:17:09,329 --> 00:17:10,970
That means, dear ladies, you may be a

528
00:17:10,970 --> 00:17:12,390
woman, you may have a fine family, but

529
00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:15,150
if Jesus Christ is not first place in

530
00:17:15,150 --> 00:17:17,329
your heart, you are not a blessing to

531
00:17:17,329 --> 00:17:17,829
your family.

532
00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:20,010
What we need is we need women sold

533
00:17:20,010 --> 00:17:20,829
out to Jesus.

534
00:17:20,990 --> 00:17:22,730
We need women who have a passion for

535
00:17:22,730 --> 00:17:23,089
God.

536
00:17:23,210 --> 00:17:24,790
Don't worry about that new car.

537
00:17:24,990 --> 00:17:26,690
Don't worry about that new home you're dreaming

538
00:17:26,690 --> 00:17:27,089
about.

539
00:17:27,290 --> 00:17:29,370
Don't worry about that fancy country club membership.

540
00:17:29,630 --> 00:17:31,210
What you need to understand is this.

541
00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:33,130
When you're out there and you're slaving for

542
00:17:33,130 --> 00:17:34,510
the world and working for the world and

543
00:17:34,510 --> 00:17:37,010
living for the world, you are substituting those

544
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:39,490
material things for the very life of your

545
00:17:39,490 --> 00:17:39,870
children.

546
00:17:40,270 --> 00:17:42,890
There's nothing more important than loving God with

547
00:17:42,890 --> 00:17:44,890
all of your heart and molding those little

548
00:17:44,890 --> 00:17:46,750
children to follow after Jesus.

549
00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:47,890
And I want to tell you ladies, the

550
00:17:47,890 --> 00:17:49,290
Bible says there are a lot of great

551
00:17:49,290 --> 00:17:50,110
women in the Bible.

552
00:17:50,850 --> 00:17:54,970
Mary, the mother of Jesus, Eunice and Lois,

553
00:17:55,050 --> 00:17:56,750
the mother and grandmother of preacher boys.

554
00:17:57,370 --> 00:17:59,710
It was a woman who anointed the head

555
00:17:59,710 --> 00:18:00,350
of Jesus.

556
00:18:01,030 --> 00:18:02,870
Hey, it was a bunch of women when

557
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:04,930
all the disciples got scared and ran off.

558
00:18:05,050 --> 00:18:06,310
It was a bunch of women that stood

559
00:18:06,310 --> 00:18:07,250
next to the cross.

560
00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:09,190
I want to tell you, friends, you give

561
00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:11,090
me a bunch of women who are really

562
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,550
in love with Jesus, who are on fire

563
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:15,570
for God, but you can change the world.

564
00:18:15,570 --> 00:18:17,550
Praise God for godly women.

565
00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:19,830
The Bible says something about women.

566
00:18:20,410 --> 00:18:22,270
The Bible says that the wife, the mother

567
00:18:22,270 --> 00:18:25,090
should be submissive in attitude to her husband.

568
00:18:25,970 --> 00:18:28,310
The Bible says, wives, submit yourselves unto your

569
00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:29,830
own husband as unto the Lord.

570
00:18:30,550 --> 00:18:34,050
Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ,

571
00:18:34,150 --> 00:18:35,970
so let the wives be unto their own

572
00:18:35,970 --> 00:18:36,310
husbands.

573
00:18:36,430 --> 00:18:38,870
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as

574
00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:40,770
it is fit in the Lord.

575
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:42,650
Now, I know what some of you national

576
00:18:42,650 --> 00:18:44,350
organization of women are thinking right now.

577
00:18:44,350 --> 00:18:47,250
You're saying, well, that lowers me, my standard.

578
00:18:47,390 --> 00:18:48,950
No, that elevates you, ladies.

579
00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:50,070
Listen to me.

580
00:18:50,210 --> 00:18:52,310
The world has lied to you and deceived

581
00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:52,730
you.

582
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:54,430
It's no blessing for you to get out

583
00:18:54,430 --> 00:18:55,990
there in a man's world and do men's

584
00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:56,190
things.

585
00:18:56,250 --> 00:18:56,630
Listen to me.

586
00:18:57,070 --> 00:18:59,030
A few years ago, you never heard of

587
00:18:59,030 --> 00:19:00,630
a woman getting lung cancer.

588
00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:03,750
And yet today, lung cancer kills more women

589
00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:05,610
than breast cancer does.

590
00:19:05,810 --> 00:19:08,390
There are 60,000 women that die every

591
00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:10,610
year from lung cancer because the women have

592
00:19:10,610 --> 00:19:13,290
believed a lie that, hey, hey, we go

593
00:19:13,290 --> 00:19:15,550
out here, we put those cigarettes in our

594
00:19:15,550 --> 00:19:17,470
mouth, it makes us cool, it makes us

595
00:19:17,470 --> 00:19:19,830
charming, while the devil is killing your very

596
00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:20,410
body.

597
00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:22,450
You see, friends, you've come a long way,

598
00:19:22,510 --> 00:19:23,510
but you've come a long way in the

599
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:24,170
wrong direction.

600
00:19:24,650 --> 00:19:26,230
And what we need is we need women

601
00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:28,510
who love Jesus, who love God.

602
00:19:28,530 --> 00:19:29,990
Listen, you're not below men.

603
00:19:30,650 --> 00:19:32,690
Just because God, what God wants is he

604
00:19:32,690 --> 00:19:34,230
wants a chain of command.

605
00:19:34,450 --> 00:19:36,290
Just like in school, you have a principal.

606
00:19:36,530 --> 00:19:37,910
Just like on a team, you have a

607
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:38,250
captain.

608
00:19:38,250 --> 00:19:40,870
Just like in any organization, you have a

609
00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:41,490
chain of command.

610
00:19:41,610 --> 00:19:42,950
It's not that you're below men.

611
00:19:43,030 --> 00:19:45,130
It's that God has set up an organization

612
00:19:45,130 --> 00:19:47,730
so that your home will not be in

613
00:19:47,730 --> 00:19:48,250
chaos.

614
00:19:48,830 --> 00:19:51,090
You show me anything that has two heads

615
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:53,050
and I'll show you a monster, friend.

616
00:19:53,330 --> 00:19:55,770
The woman must be in submission to her

617
00:19:55,770 --> 00:19:56,070
husband.

618
00:19:56,410 --> 00:19:57,870
But I want to tell you this, when

619
00:19:57,870 --> 00:19:59,850
a woman will love her husband and be

620
00:19:59,850 --> 00:20:01,750
in submission to her husband, she can make

621
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:03,950
him the kind of man that she wants

622
00:20:03,950 --> 00:20:04,270
him to be.

623
00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:04,770
You know why?

624
00:20:04,770 --> 00:20:07,630
Because men are born with something in their

625
00:20:07,630 --> 00:20:07,990
heart.

626
00:20:08,110 --> 00:20:09,530
They want to be a hero.

627
00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:11,990
And what men want more than anything else

628
00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:14,290
is for their wives to love them and

629
00:20:14,290 --> 00:20:16,510
admire them and respect them.

630
00:20:16,690 --> 00:20:17,770
And when men are out there and they've

631
00:20:17,770 --> 00:20:19,750
got a wife behind them, cheering them on

632
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:21,930
and loving them and encouraging them, I want

633
00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:23,310
to tell you, women, you can have an

634
00:20:23,310 --> 00:20:25,450
impact on that man that will turn his

635
00:20:25,450 --> 00:20:26,250
life around.

636
00:20:27,010 --> 00:20:28,690
In fact, the Bible says you can win

637
00:20:28,690 --> 00:20:31,870
a lost husband to Christ just by your

638
00:20:31,870 --> 00:20:34,670
very attitude at home.

639
00:20:35,410 --> 00:20:37,150
Oh, the Bible says you're also to be

640
00:20:37,150 --> 00:20:38,470
scripture in nature.

641
00:20:38,990 --> 00:20:39,770
You know what the Bible tells you to

642
00:20:39,770 --> 00:20:40,150
do, ladies?

643
00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:43,550
The Bible tells for the older ladies to

644
00:20:43,550 --> 00:20:44,750
teach the younger ladies.

645
00:20:45,290 --> 00:20:46,710
That's why we have so many divorces.

646
00:20:47,290 --> 00:20:48,490
Young ladies don't know how to live.

647
00:20:49,030 --> 00:20:50,230
Young ladies don't know how to love their

648
00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:50,590
husband.

649
00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:52,470
They don't know how to be chaste and

650
00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:53,410
pure and moral.

651
00:20:53,670 --> 00:20:55,350
They don't know how to live God alive

652
00:20:55,350 --> 00:20:56,590
because we're not teaching the young ladies.

653
00:20:56,830 --> 00:20:57,970
But ladies, that's your responsibility.

654
00:20:58,270 --> 00:21:00,230
If you've got daughters, you need to teach

655
00:21:00,230 --> 00:21:01,910
them how to love Jesus with all their

656
00:21:01,910 --> 00:21:02,250
heart.

657
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:04,230
And then the Bible says you're to be

658
00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:07,090
good, just good.

659
00:21:07,710 --> 00:21:09,830
First Peter 3 says, likewise, you wives be

660
00:21:09,830 --> 00:21:12,050
in subjection to your own husbands that if

661
00:21:12,050 --> 00:21:14,610
any obey not the word, they also may

662
00:21:14,610 --> 00:21:17,750
be without the word won by the conversation

663
00:21:17,750 --> 00:21:19,750
of the words of the wives.

664
00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:21,410
You know how you win your husband to

665
00:21:21,410 --> 00:21:22,010
Jesus, ladies?

666
00:21:22,610 --> 00:21:24,050
Well, first of all, you don't go home

667
00:21:24,050 --> 00:21:25,210
and slap him over the head with your

668
00:21:25,210 --> 00:21:25,590
Bible.

669
00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:27,810
And you don't go home and whine and

670
00:21:27,810 --> 00:21:29,750
cry because he's not going to church.

671
00:21:30,150 --> 00:21:31,830
You want to win your husband to Jesus?

672
00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:33,470
What you need to do is number one,

673
00:21:33,790 --> 00:21:35,150
you go home and be the best wife

674
00:21:35,150 --> 00:21:35,750
you can be.

675
00:21:35,910 --> 00:21:38,610
You go home and you put yourself under

676
00:21:38,610 --> 00:21:41,870
his authority and you honor him with your

677
00:21:41,870 --> 00:21:42,230
life.

678
00:21:42,430 --> 00:21:43,930
And when he gives you bitterness, you give

679
00:21:43,930 --> 00:21:44,570
him sweetness.

680
00:21:44,670 --> 00:21:45,970
I'll tell you what, it'll bring the greatest

681
00:21:45,970 --> 00:21:47,790
conviction you can ever think in a man's

682
00:21:47,790 --> 00:21:48,030
heart.

683
00:21:48,270 --> 00:21:50,250
When a man acts like he's sorry so

684
00:21:50,250 --> 00:21:52,070
and so and is ugly to his wife

685
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:53,870
and his wife doesn't give back the same

686
00:21:53,870 --> 00:21:55,210
as she gives back sweetly, I want to

687
00:21:55,210 --> 00:21:56,670
tell you, man, that breaks his heart.

688
00:21:56,730 --> 00:21:57,570
That brings conviction.

689
00:21:57,770 --> 00:21:59,010
He can't stand that.

690
00:21:59,490 --> 00:22:00,650
I'm telling you, I've seen it happen many

691
00:22:00,650 --> 00:22:00,890
times.

692
00:22:00,890 --> 00:22:03,970
I preached a revival in Greenwood, Arkansas a

693
00:22:03,970 --> 00:22:06,030
few years ago, gave an invitation.

694
00:22:06,270 --> 00:22:07,910
Man, a guy came off the back row.

695
00:22:08,030 --> 00:22:09,470
He was crying, man.

696
00:22:09,530 --> 00:22:10,230
It was a mess.

697
00:22:10,290 --> 00:22:11,110
He was crying so hard.

698
00:22:11,290 --> 00:22:13,010
He was bouncing off both sides of the

699
00:22:13,010 --> 00:22:13,230
pew.

700
00:22:13,450 --> 00:22:14,110
He came down.

701
00:22:14,190 --> 00:22:15,250
I was thinking to myself, man, that must

702
00:22:15,250 --> 00:22:16,010
be good preaching.

703
00:22:16,130 --> 00:22:18,190
And he came down here, got saved.

704
00:22:18,250 --> 00:22:19,230
I found out it didn't have anything to

705
00:22:19,230 --> 00:22:20,130
do with preaching at all.

706
00:22:20,210 --> 00:22:22,050
What had happened is his wife had claimed

707
00:22:22,050 --> 00:22:22,850
him for the Lord.

708
00:22:23,070 --> 00:22:24,790
She had got six other Christian ladies.

709
00:22:24,970 --> 00:22:26,810
They came every day to the church and

710
00:22:26,810 --> 00:22:28,870
they cried out and called his name to

711
00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:29,310
God.

712
00:22:29,310 --> 00:22:30,550
I want to tell you that old boy

713
00:22:30,550 --> 00:22:31,650
didn't stand a chance.

714
00:22:31,810 --> 00:22:34,130
They prayed him in the kingdom of God.

715
00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:42,150
I have a good friend, Mike Corley.

716
00:22:42,730 --> 00:22:44,630
Mike Corley was an infidel.

717
00:22:45,050 --> 00:22:45,850
Good old boy.

718
00:22:45,950 --> 00:22:46,690
You know the kind.

719
00:22:47,010 --> 00:22:48,550
Buy him a case of beer every weekend,

720
00:22:48,630 --> 00:22:49,510
go home and drink it.

721
00:22:49,510 --> 00:22:50,450
Just a good old boy.

722
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:52,030
But he didn't know Jesus.

723
00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:53,550
His wife was a Christian.

724
00:22:53,650 --> 00:22:55,090
She wanted her husband to be saved.

725
00:22:55,370 --> 00:22:56,770
My wife used to go over there.

726
00:22:56,810 --> 00:22:58,210
He used to make Mike so mad.

727
00:22:58,450 --> 00:22:59,830
He said every time she'd come over, I'd

728
00:22:59,830 --> 00:23:00,930
get on such great conviction.

729
00:23:00,990 --> 00:23:01,730
I couldn't stand it.

730
00:23:01,890 --> 00:23:03,370
He'd take a six pack and go hide

731
00:23:03,370 --> 00:23:04,290
in the garage.

732
00:23:04,290 --> 00:23:05,670
So he wouldn't have to be around her.

733
00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:07,650
But my wife and his wife began to

734
00:23:07,650 --> 00:23:09,530
pray for all my and his wife.

735
00:23:09,610 --> 00:23:10,070
You know what she did?

736
00:23:10,330 --> 00:23:12,290
She started writing scriptures on little pieces of

737
00:23:12,290 --> 00:23:12,590
paper.

738
00:23:12,810 --> 00:23:14,730
Out of the Bible scriptures for all have

739
00:23:14,730 --> 00:23:16,270
sinned and come short of the glory of

740
00:23:16,270 --> 00:23:16,650
God.

741
00:23:16,850 --> 00:23:18,150
For the wages of sin is death, but

742
00:23:18,150 --> 00:23:19,630
the gift of God's eternal life.

743
00:23:19,950 --> 00:23:21,790
Oh, if we confess with our mouth, the

744
00:23:21,790 --> 00:23:23,150
Lord Jesus, believe in our heart that God

745
00:23:23,150 --> 00:23:24,030
has raised him from dead.

746
00:23:24,210 --> 00:23:26,310
We shall be safe or whosoever shall call

747
00:23:26,310 --> 00:23:27,590
upon the name of the Lord shall be

748
00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:27,870
saved.

749
00:23:28,010 --> 00:23:29,850
The soul that says it shall surely die.

750
00:23:30,030 --> 00:23:31,990
Everywhere he went, he'd open up his old

751
00:23:31,990 --> 00:23:32,610
liquor cabinet.

752
00:23:32,610 --> 00:23:33,970
There'd be a verse of scripture stuck on

753
00:23:33,970 --> 00:23:34,530
that liquor bottle.

754
00:23:35,030 --> 00:23:36,790
He'd go, he'd open up that refrigerator.

755
00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:38,950
There'd be a subscription on that old beer.

756
00:23:39,130 --> 00:23:40,190
He'd go to the bathroom to shave.

757
00:23:40,250 --> 00:23:41,770
There'd be some scripture stuck on them everywhere

758
00:23:41,770 --> 00:23:42,550
he turned.

759
00:23:42,770 --> 00:23:44,030
And I'm telling you, I knew him for

760
00:23:44,030 --> 00:23:44,770
five years.

761
00:23:44,950 --> 00:23:46,530
He never said, he never said more than

762
00:23:46,530 --> 00:23:48,550
two or three words to me in those

763
00:23:48,550 --> 00:23:49,370
four or five years.

764
00:23:49,490 --> 00:23:51,230
But one night I was at church.

765
00:23:51,910 --> 00:23:53,130
Somebody tapped me on the shoulder.

766
00:23:53,290 --> 00:23:54,070
I turned around.

767
00:23:54,130 --> 00:23:55,510
He grabbed me in a big bear hug,

768
00:23:55,570 --> 00:23:56,150
started hugging me.

769
00:23:56,190 --> 00:23:56,870
He said, man, I love you.

770
00:23:56,910 --> 00:23:57,230
I love you.

771
00:23:57,290 --> 00:23:57,530
I love you.

772
00:23:57,550 --> 00:23:58,010
I said, what happened?

773
00:23:58,090 --> 00:23:59,230
He said, I got saved.

774
00:23:59,810 --> 00:24:00,930
I got saved.

775
00:24:02,970 --> 00:24:09,030
And I'm saying, ladies, you can change the

776
00:24:09,030 --> 00:24:09,510
world.

777
00:24:11,010 --> 00:24:12,790
Don't let the world change you.

778
00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:15,050
You see, the men need to be the

779
00:24:15,050 --> 00:24:17,710
head because that's how God made them.

780
00:24:18,450 --> 00:24:20,270
That's why you have arguments in your family

781
00:24:20,270 --> 00:24:22,330
because you're trying to take over your husband's

782
00:24:22,330 --> 00:24:22,670
position.

783
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:24,870
And in his heart, God, he knows he

784
00:24:24,870 --> 00:24:25,890
ought to be the head of that family.

785
00:24:26,270 --> 00:24:27,690
But men, you got to be the head

786
00:24:27,690 --> 00:24:28,270
of that family.

787
00:24:28,810 --> 00:24:30,470
You've got to take responsibility.

788
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:32,670
Not just the boss and give orders, but

789
00:24:32,670 --> 00:24:33,890
you've got to be the provider.

790
00:24:34,010 --> 00:24:35,130
You've got to be the priest.

791
00:24:35,510 --> 00:24:37,330
You've got to love your wife, lift your

792
00:24:37,330 --> 00:24:38,630
wife, lead your wife.

793
00:24:38,850 --> 00:24:40,290
And I believe with all my heart, men,

794
00:24:40,330 --> 00:24:42,430
if you'll do that, I think your wife

795
00:24:42,430 --> 00:24:44,670
will find it much easier to come under

796
00:24:44,670 --> 00:24:45,410
your authority.

797
00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:47,570
She'll find it much easier to have the

798
00:24:47,570 --> 00:24:48,570
word of God in her heart.

799
00:24:48,610 --> 00:24:50,810
She'll find it much easier to mold and

800
00:24:50,810 --> 00:24:51,650
shape those kids.

801
00:24:51,970 --> 00:24:53,050
Men, it's up to me and you.

802
00:24:53,490 --> 00:24:55,790
We are the key to the whole thing.

803
00:24:55,790 --> 00:24:58,710
If we'll get our lives with God, right

804
00:24:58,710 --> 00:25:00,930
with God, everything else will fall into place.

805
00:25:00,990 --> 00:25:02,310
And the kids, you know what your responsibility

806
00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:02,770
is?

807
00:25:03,170 --> 00:25:05,250
The dad is the head.

808
00:25:05,330 --> 00:25:06,450
The mom is the heart.

809
00:25:06,550 --> 00:25:07,250
You're the hub.

810
00:25:08,530 --> 00:25:10,390
Everything revolves around the kids.

811
00:25:10,550 --> 00:25:10,790
Amen.

812
00:25:12,050 --> 00:25:13,230
Man, you know what the Bible says?

813
00:25:13,250 --> 00:25:15,950
The Bible says kids are a blessing from

814
00:25:15,950 --> 00:25:16,770
the Lord.

815
00:25:17,230 --> 00:25:18,550
You know that they're a blessing from the

816
00:25:18,550 --> 00:25:18,870
Lord.

817
00:25:19,210 --> 00:25:20,550
Hey, but they don't even belong to you,

818
00:25:20,650 --> 00:25:20,810
sir.

819
00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:22,450
They belong to God.

820
00:25:22,990 --> 00:25:24,590
God's just loaned them to you.

821
00:25:24,590 --> 00:25:25,910
You know what God's expecting out of you?

822
00:25:26,330 --> 00:25:28,950
God's expecting you to mold them and shape

823
00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:31,810
them, not like the world, but shape them

824
00:25:31,810 --> 00:25:32,930
like Jesus Christ.

825
00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:34,670
But young people, God has given you some

826
00:25:34,670 --> 00:25:36,070
directions about the home.

827
00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:38,530
God has told young people what they must

828
00:25:38,530 --> 00:25:40,450
do if they want their home to be

829
00:25:40,450 --> 00:25:40,990
a success.

830
00:25:41,290 --> 00:25:44,650
Number one, the Bible says, honor your father

831
00:25:44,650 --> 00:25:45,770
and mother.

832
00:25:46,170 --> 00:25:48,770
Ephesians 6, 2, 3 says, honor thy father

833
00:25:48,770 --> 00:25:51,790
and mother, which is the first commandment with

834
00:25:51,790 --> 00:25:54,350
promise that it may be well with thee

835
00:25:54,350 --> 00:25:56,910
and thou mayest live long on the earth.

836
00:25:57,030 --> 00:25:58,070
God says, listen, you want to have a

837
00:25:58,070 --> 00:25:58,630
good life?

838
00:25:58,770 --> 00:26:00,170
You want to have a productive life?

839
00:26:00,290 --> 00:26:01,970
You want to live a long life?

840
00:26:02,390 --> 00:26:04,610
Honor your father and your mother.

841
00:26:04,750 --> 00:26:07,070
You say, my father doesn't deserve honor.

842
00:26:07,310 --> 00:26:08,830
The Bible doesn't say that, friend.

843
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:10,710
The Bible doesn't say, honor your father and

844
00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:11,670
mother if they deserve it.

845
00:26:11,810 --> 00:26:14,230
It says, honor them because they are your

846
00:26:14,230 --> 00:26:15,690
father and your mother.

847
00:26:15,850 --> 00:26:17,610
I will tell you, friends, that's what kids

848
00:26:17,610 --> 00:26:18,570
need to know today.

849
00:26:18,890 --> 00:26:20,750
You cannot serve God, young man.

850
00:26:20,750 --> 00:26:23,110
You cannot be God's man, teenage friend.

851
00:26:23,390 --> 00:26:25,370
You cannot have the blessings of God if

852
00:26:25,370 --> 00:26:27,570
you are in disobedience to your parents.

853
00:26:27,850 --> 00:26:29,130
You must honor your parents.

854
00:26:29,410 --> 00:26:31,550
How, if your parents are lost, how can

855
00:26:31,550 --> 00:26:34,470
you win your parents to Jesus if you

856
00:26:34,470 --> 00:26:35,790
are disobeying God?

857
00:26:36,130 --> 00:26:37,610
You see, how you win your parents to

858
00:26:37,610 --> 00:26:39,790
Jesus is you need to live like Jesus

859
00:26:39,790 --> 00:26:40,590
tells you to live.

860
00:26:40,790 --> 00:26:42,290
You need to honor your mother and your

861
00:26:42,290 --> 00:26:42,550
father.

862
00:26:42,750 --> 00:26:44,130
That means you need to help them around

863
00:26:44,130 --> 00:26:44,650
the house.

864
00:26:44,910 --> 00:26:46,410
That means you need to thank them for

865
00:26:46,410 --> 00:26:47,710
all they provide for you.

866
00:26:47,910 --> 00:26:49,430
You need to do good for them and

867
00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:49,970
love them.

868
00:26:49,970 --> 00:26:51,610
You need to honor your parents and then

869
00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:53,890
you need to obey your parents.

870
00:26:54,290 --> 00:26:56,590
The Bible says in Colossians 3, 20, children,

871
00:26:56,710 --> 00:26:59,030
obey your parents in all things, for this

872
00:26:59,030 --> 00:27:00,710
is well-pleasing unto the Lord.

873
00:27:01,110 --> 00:27:01,790
Listen to me, friend.

874
00:27:02,510 --> 00:27:04,150
You won't hear this kind of stuff in

875
00:27:04,150 --> 00:27:06,290
the music today or on television.

876
00:27:06,730 --> 00:27:08,690
The Bible says, hey, everybody do your own

877
00:27:08,690 --> 00:27:08,790
thing.

878
00:27:08,810 --> 00:27:10,330
I was watching one of these crazy shows

879
00:27:10,330 --> 00:27:10,890
one day.

880
00:27:11,230 --> 00:27:12,370
I can't remember what the name of it

881
00:27:12,370 --> 00:27:14,770
was, Sally Jessie Raphael or something like that.

882
00:27:14,970 --> 00:27:16,870
Had all these teenagers on there, boy.

883
00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:19,190
And the subject matter was these teenagers thought

884
00:27:19,190 --> 00:27:21,290
they had been so mistreated by their parents.

885
00:27:21,790 --> 00:27:23,490
Here's an old boy, he's about 14 years

886
00:27:23,490 --> 00:27:23,790
old.

887
00:27:23,830 --> 00:27:25,370
And he said, you know, I just don't

888
00:27:25,370 --> 00:27:26,690
like people telling me what to do.

889
00:27:27,470 --> 00:27:28,810
I just don't like telling me what to

890
00:27:28,810 --> 00:27:28,910
do.

891
00:27:28,970 --> 00:27:30,010
I think I'm going to join the Marine

892
00:27:30,010 --> 00:27:32,050
Corps so I can be my own boss.

893
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,660
We have these guys, they say, I don't

894
00:27:37,660 --> 00:27:37,880
listen.

895
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,780
That's because the world has lied to young

896
00:27:39,780 --> 00:27:39,960
people.

897
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:42,680
Listen, your responsibility as a young person is

898
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,900
to honor your parents.

899
00:27:44,180 --> 00:27:46,320
It's to honor your parents, do good for

900
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,400
your parents, be respectful to your parents.

901
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,200
Don't you dare let one of your friends

902
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,860
talk bad about your mom and dad.

903
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:52,920
You fight that boy.

904
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,420
Don't you let anybody talk bad about your

905
00:27:54,420 --> 00:27:54,800
parents.

906
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:56,920
You love your parents and honor your parents

907
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,300
and stand up for your dad.

908
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,220
Your mom almost gave her life giving you

909
00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:00,500
birth.

910
00:28:00,540 --> 00:28:02,500
You ought to praise her name and you

911
00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:03,640
ought to do what she tells you to

912
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,020
do.

913
00:28:04,540 --> 00:28:06,080
You see friends, that is what we're here

914
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,120
for, to obey God.

915
00:28:09,980 --> 00:28:11,720
But I want to tell you parents in

916
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,420
order for our kids to do right, what

917
00:28:14,420 --> 00:28:15,720
you've got to do is you've got to

918
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,360
be an example for them.

919
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:21,120
And I don't mean talk it, buddy.

920
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,200
I mean walk it.

921
00:28:24,180 --> 00:28:25,980
You see, we've got too many guys giving

922
00:28:25,980 --> 00:28:28,940
orders, not enough guys being an example.

923
00:28:29,660 --> 00:28:31,040
You want your boy to grow up to

924
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,520
be a godly man, you better be a

925
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,180
godly man.

926
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,420
You want your young girl to grow up

927
00:28:35,420 --> 00:28:37,400
with good morals, you better have good morals.

928
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,720
If you want your child to know, listen,

929
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,400
you know why so many girls marry the

930
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:42,360
wrong kind of guy?

931
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:45,180
Because their dad has not given them a

932
00:28:45,180 --> 00:28:47,140
good example of the right kind of guy.

933
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,560
You see, your daughter's going to marry somebody

934
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,320
just like you.

935
00:28:50,380 --> 00:28:51,680
That's pretty scary, isn't it fellas?

936
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,240
Your daughter's going to marry somebody just like

937
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:54,500
you.

938
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,160
You better make sure that the you that

939
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,900
you're showing her is a good one.

940
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,780
She's going to marry an old boy just

941
00:28:59,780 --> 00:29:01,160
like you and so you better get a

942
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,200
passion for God.

943
00:29:02,460 --> 00:29:03,600
You better love God.

944
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:05,140
You better be fearless for God.

945
00:29:05,340 --> 00:29:06,760
You need to memorize that scripture.

946
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,460
You need to go out and win people

947
00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:08,820
to Christ.

948
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,880
You need to point her toward God and

949
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:11,480
God's house.

950
00:29:11,620 --> 00:29:12,920
So when she marries an old boy, he'll

951
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:13,780
be just like that.

952
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,280
You need to be an example and you

953
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,940
need to learn to discipline your kids.

954
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,200
My friend, I'll tell you something.

955
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,820
The big mistake we have today is there

956
00:29:20,820 --> 00:29:21,760
are a lot of dads that think they

957
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,900
want to be their child's best friend.

958
00:29:24,580 --> 00:29:25,380
That's nonsense.

959
00:29:26,180 --> 00:29:28,420
Your child can get his own best friend.

960
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:29,680
What he needs is a daddy.

961
00:29:30,020 --> 00:29:31,020
He needs a father.

962
00:29:31,260 --> 00:29:33,160
He needs a man to stand up and

963
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:33,980
point an example.

964
00:29:34,300 --> 00:29:36,120
Don't try to be your child's best friend.

965
00:29:36,580 --> 00:29:37,900
Your child needs parents.

966
00:29:38,220 --> 00:29:39,900
He needs somebody to show him how to

967
00:29:39,900 --> 00:29:41,300
live, to be an example.

968
00:29:41,380 --> 00:29:43,980
Somebody to set guidelines and restrictions and somebody

969
00:29:43,980 --> 00:29:45,220
to point the right way.

970
00:29:45,220 --> 00:29:46,620
He's got plenty of people he can have

971
00:29:46,620 --> 00:29:47,060
for friends.

972
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,780
He'll be a friend after he grows up

973
00:29:48,780 --> 00:29:50,320
and becomes a man and looks back on

974
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,500
your life to say that you showed him

975
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:52,000
the right way.

976
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,140
You discipline that child and you point out

977
00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:54,820
the right direction.

978
00:29:56,140 --> 00:30:00,820
And then you need to love your children.

979
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,000
You need to love your children.

980
00:30:03,860 --> 00:30:05,560
Daddy, you need to hug that boy.

981
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,160
You need to show that boy it's all

982
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,100
right for a man to hug his son.

983
00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:12,380
You need to love that girl.

984
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:13,020
You know what?

985
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:15,800
If you don't love that daughter and if

986
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,840
you don't hug that daughter and if you

987
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,080
don't give that daughter some affection at home,

988
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,680
she'll find somebody who will, buddy.

989
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:24,380
You need to love that daughter and show

990
00:30:24,380 --> 00:30:26,280
her that her dad is a man she

991
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,820
can look to for strength.

992
00:30:28,220 --> 00:30:30,200
Her dad is a man she can count

993
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:30,520
on.

994
00:30:30,780 --> 00:30:32,300
I tell you what, when my daughter was

995
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:34,180
dating, those old boys would show up at

996
00:30:34,180 --> 00:30:35,300
my front doorstep.

997
00:30:35,420 --> 00:30:36,700
Man, I'd walk to the door.

998
00:30:36,780 --> 00:30:37,800
I'd say, what do you want?

999
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,940
They'd say, we want to, I'm here for

1000
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:42,300
Brittany.

1001
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:43,700
Brittany who, son?

1002
00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:45,040
I'd thank him.

1003
00:30:45,100 --> 00:30:46,600
I'd say, if you pencil neck thing, what

1004
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,900
are you doing coming in my daughter?

1005
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,820
I'd set him down and I'd say, listen

1006
00:30:52,820 --> 00:30:53,300
to me, son.

1007
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,240
I want to tell you something.

1008
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,480
I love my daughter more than life itself.

1009
00:30:58,220 --> 00:31:00,360
I'm entrusting something to you that's more valuable

1010
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,900
than my car or my home.

1011
00:31:02,260 --> 00:31:03,500
And I want to tell you if you

1012
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:06,240
ever harm her or hurt her or damage

1013
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,740
her, I'll come after you.

1014
00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:09,700
I'm telling you, friends, you need to put

1015
00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:11,280
the fear of God in those old boys

1016
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,660
when they come and date your daughter.

1017
00:31:15,380 --> 00:31:16,500
Now think about it.

1018
00:31:17,340 --> 00:31:19,680
You're letting, you're letting somebody come over and

1019
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,600
date the most valuable thing in your life.

1020
00:31:23,580 --> 00:31:25,260
You need to lay down the law of

1021
00:31:25,260 --> 00:31:25,940
how it's going to be.

1022
00:31:26,020 --> 00:31:27,400
You know why young men don't know how

1023
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,360
to treat young women?

1024
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,420
It's because of what they learn as they

1025
00:31:30,420 --> 00:31:33,480
learn on television and television teaches you the

1026
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,580
quickest thing you do is try to get

1027
00:31:34,580 --> 00:31:35,820
her in bed as quick as you can.

1028
00:31:36,220 --> 00:31:38,260
You teach that boy, you set him down.

1029
00:31:38,380 --> 00:31:39,600
You know, don't come to my house, son.

1030
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:40,900
Be honking that horn outside.

1031
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:42,260
My daughter's not going to run out there.

1032
00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:43,580
You come inside.

1033
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,220
You sit down.

1034
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:44,700
You know what you do?

1035
00:31:44,700 --> 00:31:45,000
You sit down.

1036
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,880
You talk to my wife and I, we

1037
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,320
want to find out where you are with

1038
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:48,780
Jesus.

1039
00:31:48,860 --> 00:31:49,140
Amen.

1040
00:31:49,580 --> 00:31:50,380
You talk to me.

1041
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,380
My daughter used to say, oh, daddy, please.

1042
00:31:52,460 --> 00:31:54,140
You just embarrassed me so bad.

1043
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,280
I said, honey, that's my job.

1044
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:57,760
That's my job.

1045
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,760
I'm just saying that God has a plan

1046
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,500
for the family.

1047
00:32:04,780 --> 00:32:06,480
Young friend, many of you over here, your

1048
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:07,940
mom and dad aren't even saved.

1049
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:09,680
It's time we want them to the Lord.

1050
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,320
And the way we went into the Lord

1051
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,360
is we got to be godly young people.

1052
00:32:13,620 --> 00:32:15,100
It's great to come to church and lift

1053
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:16,160
our hands and praise God.

1054
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:16,620
That's wonderful.

1055
00:32:16,820 --> 00:32:18,220
I praise God for you, but we've got

1056
00:32:18,220 --> 00:32:19,200
to take it outside the church.

1057
00:32:19,260 --> 00:32:20,040
We've got to take it home.

1058
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:20,340
Amen.

1059
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,380
We've got to go home and we've got

1060
00:32:22,380 --> 00:32:24,540
to be God's young people in front of

1061
00:32:24,540 --> 00:32:25,300
our parents.

1062
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,980
That means we've got to have a godly

1063
00:32:26,980 --> 00:32:27,380
heart.

1064
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:29,080
That means to honor our mom and dad,

1065
00:32:29,180 --> 00:32:30,280
even though they do us wrong.

1066
00:32:30,340 --> 00:32:32,000
You think, even though they may not be

1067
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,560
Christians, even though you may think they don't

1068
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,200
deserve honor, you honor them because Jesus said

1069
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:36,940
to honor them.

1070
00:32:36,940 --> 00:32:38,960
He said, it'll give you a good life

1071
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,260
and a long life.

1072
00:32:40,420 --> 00:32:42,540
If you honor your parents and obey your

1073
00:32:42,540 --> 00:32:43,400
parents, you know why?

1074
00:32:43,820 --> 00:32:45,680
Because they are looking out for your best.

1075
00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:47,400
If you'll never have anybody in your life

1076
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,640
that loves you like your parents loved you.

1077
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,920
And ladies, I want to encourage you to

1078
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,900
live for God.

1079
00:32:53,380 --> 00:32:56,740
If there's any way possible to get your

1080
00:32:56,740 --> 00:33:00,180
finances straightened out, so you can live on

1081
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:02,620
your husband's salary alone, you need to do

1082
00:33:02,620 --> 00:33:02,900
it.

1083
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:04,820
And you need to get home with those

1084
00:33:04,820 --> 00:33:08,560
children and raise them in the admonition of

1085
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,060
the Lord.

1086
00:33:09,660 --> 00:33:11,380
And man, it all comes back to you.

1087
00:33:12,060 --> 00:33:14,040
We can preach and we can run around

1088
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,520
and we can say all these things about

1089
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,020
women and children, but I want to tell

1090
00:33:17,020 --> 00:33:19,240
you what, the ball is in our court,

1091
00:33:19,300 --> 00:33:19,540
man.

1092
00:33:20,380 --> 00:33:21,460
It's our responsibility.

1093
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,540
The home's in a mess because we have

1094
00:33:23,540 --> 00:33:24,720
not done our job.

1095
00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:26,880
We have not done our job.

1096
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,140
We have not done our job.

1097
00:33:29,140 --> 00:33:31,220
And it is time for men to get

1098
00:33:31,220 --> 00:33:33,020
serious about serving God.

1099
00:33:33,420 --> 00:33:35,080
Number one, men, you need to get saved

1100
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,340
and you need to get saved tonight.

1101
00:33:36,660 --> 00:33:37,820
And then you need to get a passion

1102
00:33:37,820 --> 00:33:38,380
for God.

1103
00:33:38,460 --> 00:33:40,340
You need to read your Bible and love

1104
00:33:40,340 --> 00:33:41,880
Jesus with all of your heart because you

1105
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,820
can't love your family until you love Jesus.

1106
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,880
Then you need to lead your family and

1107
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,520
guide your family, provide for your family, love

1108
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,500
your wife, lift your wife, lead your wife.

1109
00:33:50,540 --> 00:33:52,420
And ladies, if you get a man like

1110
00:33:52,420 --> 00:33:54,320
that, I promise you, you'll have a heart

1111
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,860
to follow him and follow his leadership and

1112
00:33:56,860 --> 00:33:58,160
be the kind of wife that he wants

1113
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:58,420
you to be.

1114
00:33:58,420 --> 00:34:00,420
You say you need that because your family

1115
00:34:00,420 --> 00:34:02,260
is on the verge of collapse right now.

1116
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,980
You don't know how shaky the ground is

1117
00:34:04,980 --> 00:34:06,480
under your home right now.

1118
00:34:06,860 --> 00:34:08,400
You don't know how close you are to

1119
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,120
losing your children or losing your home right

1120
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:11,260
now.

1121
00:34:11,340 --> 00:34:13,560
You don't know how wicked the world is

1122
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,760
and how many arrows the devil is shooting

1123
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:16,480
at your home.

1124
00:34:16,659 --> 00:34:18,360
If you could see right now the danger

1125
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,480
your home was in, you'd run to Jesus,

1126
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,440
you'd run and beg him to save you.

1127
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,460
You'd beg him to provide for your family.

1128
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:26,260
Friend, I want to tell you, the devil

1129
00:34:26,260 --> 00:34:27,940
is alive and well and he's after you

1130
00:34:27,940 --> 00:34:28,520
and your home.

1131
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,120
Dr. Truett of First Baptist Church in Dallas,

1132
00:34:31,380 --> 00:34:32,659
several years ago, told the story.

1133
00:34:32,739 --> 00:34:34,560
A man came after preaching a sermon on

1134
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:34,980
the home.

1135
00:34:35,300 --> 00:34:36,620
He said, pastor, I'm just broken.

1136
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,600
I want you to pray with me about

1137
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:39,219
my son.

1138
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:41,600
I want my teenage boy to get saved.

1139
00:34:41,900 --> 00:34:43,820
The next day, Dr. Truett saw the teenage

1140
00:34:43,820 --> 00:34:44,179
boy.

1141
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,780
He was all aglow.

1142
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:46,900
He came to pastor.

1143
00:34:46,940 --> 00:34:49,420
He said, pastor, I got saved last night.

1144
00:34:49,540 --> 00:34:51,080
Dr. Truett said, well, tell me about it.

1145
00:34:51,219 --> 00:34:52,699
He said, well, I was out partying with

1146
00:34:52,699 --> 00:34:53,280
my friends.

1147
00:34:53,580 --> 00:34:54,679
I came home late.

1148
00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:56,139
I expected my dad to meet me at

1149
00:34:56,139 --> 00:34:58,120
the front door, to be angry and to

1150
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,840
curse me and to be bitter against me.

1151
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:00,940
He said, but when I got home, even

1152
00:35:00,940 --> 00:35:02,620
though I was late, my dad wasn't there.

1153
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:05,380
And so I went to my bedroom and

1154
00:35:05,380 --> 00:35:09,000
I went past my daddy's bedroom and I

1155
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,560
heard my dad in there on his knees

1156
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,280
and he was praying for me to get

1157
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:13,900
saved.

1158
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,960
He said, I never heard my daddy pray

1159
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,020
for me before.

1160
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,540
And he said, preacher, I went in and

1161
00:35:21,540 --> 00:35:23,500
knelt beside my daddy and I got saved.

1162
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:25,720
But we need some daddies.

1163
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:26,880
You know why we need daddies?

1164
00:35:27,580 --> 00:35:28,560
You know why we need daddies?

1165
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:29,820
To really sell out for God.

1166
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,380
You know why you need to be born

1167
00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:31,720
again?

1168
00:35:32,980 --> 00:35:34,980
A few years ago, I was in Eldorado,

1169
00:35:35,140 --> 00:35:36,820
Arkansas preaching a revival.

1170
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,340
I told the teenagers this story a few

1171
00:35:39,340 --> 00:35:41,940
weeks ago, but I was there doing a

1172
00:35:41,940 --> 00:35:46,180
revival and I heard the most remarkable story.

1173
00:35:46,660 --> 00:35:48,660
There's a man in Eldorado, Arkansas, a very

1174
00:35:48,660 --> 00:35:50,720
affluent man, a very successful man.

1175
00:35:50,940 --> 00:35:53,400
He owns an insurance agency.

1176
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,480
He's a young man in his mid forties.

1177
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:57,700
He's made a lot of money.

1178
00:35:57,860 --> 00:36:00,680
He's very respected in the community in all

1179
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,580
the right clubs, all the right activities.

1180
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:03,780
He's in the country club.

1181
00:36:03,980 --> 00:36:05,480
Everybody looks up and admires him.

1182
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,460
There was even talk that he might run

1183
00:36:07,460 --> 00:36:08,640
for political office.

1184
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,960
He had a big house, three or $400

1185
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:12,620
,000.

1186
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,260
And he had everything the world says it

1187
00:36:15,260 --> 00:36:16,040
takes to be happy.

1188
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:17,700
He was an athlete.

1189
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,080
He ran these marathons in shape, man.

1190
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,560
It seemed like he had everything going for

1191
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:23,800
him.

1192
00:36:24,260 --> 00:36:26,180
He had a 16-year-old daughter that

1193
00:36:26,180 --> 00:36:28,380
he loved more than anything else in the

1194
00:36:28,380 --> 00:36:28,760
world.

1195
00:36:29,460 --> 00:36:32,080
When I was down in Eldorado, she turned

1196
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,820
16 on Thursday and her daddy, who loved

1197
00:36:35,820 --> 00:36:39,620
her, bought her a brand new car, a

1198
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:40,700
red sports car.

1199
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:43,640
The next day on Friday, she went down

1200
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,260
and took her driver's test and got her

1201
00:36:45,260 --> 00:36:45,700
license.

1202
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:48,900
On Saturday, she was out showing everybody her

1203
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:50,960
new car, riding around with her best friend.

1204
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,740
As kids do, she was driving at a

1205
00:36:53,740 --> 00:36:54,800
rate that was higher than she should have

1206
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,240
been driving.

1207
00:36:55,380 --> 00:36:58,060
She left the road and crashed, and she

1208
00:36:58,060 --> 00:36:59,060
was killed on impact.

1209
00:37:00,020 --> 00:37:01,640
Her best friend, who was riding in the

1210
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,160
passenger seat, was paralyzed.

1211
00:37:03,700 --> 00:37:04,960
I was there two years ago.

1212
00:37:05,060 --> 00:37:05,960
She's still in a wheelchair.

1213
00:37:07,660 --> 00:37:11,040
And that daddy was so crushed and so

1214
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,220
defeated by the death of his daughter that

1215
00:37:14,220 --> 00:37:16,200
he was unable to go on working.

1216
00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:19,900
He took disability in early retirement.

1217
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,900
He sold his insurance agency.

1218
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,700
He was totally defeated.

1219
00:37:23,980 --> 00:37:25,960
He couldn't even go on living hardly.

1220
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,580
It was all he could do just to

1221
00:37:27,580 --> 00:37:28,460
get through the day.

1222
00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:30,140
He'd always been an athlete.

1223
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,500
He'd take his lunch break at the job

1224
00:37:32,500 --> 00:37:33,660
and he'd go to the local high school

1225
00:37:33,660 --> 00:37:35,120
and they'd see him every day running around

1226
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,600
the track, staying in shape.

1227
00:37:37,260 --> 00:37:39,320
After his daughter was killed, though the reports

1228
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,980
around town were, he would go out there

1229
00:37:40,980 --> 00:37:42,740
many times to run around the track.

1230
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,320
And when he'd get on the far side

1231
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,420
where the stands were, he would just disappear.

1232
00:37:47,260 --> 00:37:49,340
And many times friends would find him over

1233
00:37:49,340 --> 00:37:50,620
behind the stands.

1234
00:37:50,780 --> 00:37:53,240
He would be lying face down in the

1235
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:57,340
grass crying about that little girl.

1236
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:02,680
Oh, he still has his $300,000, $400

1237
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,620
,000 house.

1238
00:38:04,740 --> 00:38:06,520
He's still got a million dollars in the

1239
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:06,860
bank.

1240
00:38:08,060 --> 00:38:10,420
He's still respected in the community.

1241
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,200
But I'm here to tell you, he would

1242
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,940
give that house up and he would give

1243
00:38:17,940 --> 00:38:18,900
that money away.

1244
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,580
And he would give away his reputation.

1245
00:38:23,260 --> 00:38:24,800
And he would take a job at the

1246
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,460
7-Eleven at midnight if he could just

1247
00:38:29,460 --> 00:38:30,400
have that girl back.

1248
00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:37,260
And there's coming a day, there's coming a

1249
00:38:37,260 --> 00:38:41,300
day when you will stand before God and

1250
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:45,500
your family will drop into a devil's hell

1251
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:47,680
because you have not lived for God.

1252
00:38:48,580 --> 00:38:50,160
And you will look at God and you'll

1253
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,000
say, God, I'll do anything if I could

1254
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,440
just have my family back.

1255
00:38:57,260 --> 00:38:58,900
But it'll be too late.

1256
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,640
You see, if you're gonna turn it around,

1257
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:02,900
you need to do it now, sir.

1258
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:05,580
And it starts by being born again.

1259
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,540
Some of you here tonight, you know all

1260
00:39:08,540 --> 00:39:09,500
about Jesus.

1261
00:39:10,340 --> 00:39:12,160
But you don't know him personally.

1262
00:39:13,180 --> 00:39:14,740
Oh, you go to the youth activities, you

1263
00:39:14,740 --> 00:39:16,580
go to the programs, you've read your Bible,

1264
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,940
you know all the stuff.

1265
00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:21,000
But you don't have Jesus in your heart.

1266
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:22,580
You know how you entail?

1267
00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:24,440
You don't have a passion for God.

1268
00:39:24,980 --> 00:39:26,860
Have you ever won anybody to the Lord?

1269
00:39:28,060 --> 00:39:30,180
Do you live for God when nobody else

1270
00:39:30,180 --> 00:39:30,700
is watching?

1271
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,480
Do you have a righteousness about your life?

1272
00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:38,380
Do you know for sure that if you

1273
00:39:38,380 --> 00:39:41,780
were to die tonight, that you'd go to

1274
00:39:41,780 --> 00:39:42,100
heaven?

1275
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:44,940
Because if you don't know that, you need

1276
00:39:44,940 --> 00:39:45,600
to know that.

1277
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,260
And in a few moments, you're going to

1278
00:39:48,260 --> 00:39:52,000
have the greatest opportunity you will ever have

1279
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,800
to come and give your life to Christ,

1280
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,820
to be born again, to start building that

1281
00:39:58,820 --> 00:40:02,640
home on that solid rock foundation.

1282
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,120
You've been listening to the From the Pulpit

1283
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,300
and Classic Sermon series.

1284
00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:10,220
This week, you heard William Blackburn.

1285
00:40:10,220 --> 00:40:12,780
With this message, God's plan for the family.

1286
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:14,960
Tune in next week to hear Hans Waldvogel

1287
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,600
talk about ye shall be as God's was

1288
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:18,560
not Christ's ambition.

1289
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,960
On From the Pulpit and Classic Sermons.
