That's right.1000:00:52.880 --> 00:00:57.439It's focused on the Gospel, butin particular it's called the Gospel centered pro1100:00:57.600 --> 00:01:02.159life podcast. I've got that now. And we believe, as a Gospel1200:01:02.280 --> 00:01:08.829Centered Podcast, part of a GospelCentered Ministry Love Life, that the principles1300:01:08.909 --> 00:01:14.870that we that we share and thatwe base our ministry on, come from1400:01:15.390 --> 00:01:19.260the book. That's right, theBible, the word of God's matter of1500:01:19.299 --> 00:01:22.219fact, have my Bible right here, and what does it say on the1600:01:22.340 --> 00:01:27.019Front? Vicki Holy Bible. That'sright, it's a holy it's a Holy1700:01:27.099 --> 00:01:33.209Bible. Right. Amen. Amen. One time, I believe was my1800:01:33.290 --> 00:01:38.489brother was talking to a young she'sa young Christian and as a girl that1900:01:38.569 --> 00:01:42.290we went to churchious and asked herhe was trying to get at what version2000:01:42.329 --> 00:01:46.609of the Bible she was reading.Okay, because she wasn't exactly understanding scripture.2100:01:46.769 --> 00:01:48.920So he's like, so, whatBibe are you reading? She's like2200:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.079the Holy Bible, okay, theholy one. Well, well, we2300:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.920believe, but she knew the mostimportant thing, that most important part the2400:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.189word of God is holy. Yes, word of God is important. It's2500:02:01.230 --> 00:02:05.549important in the principles that we thatwe glean from the word of God and2600:02:05.590 --> 00:02:08.909that we apply in ministry, butalso in the midst of ministry it's important2700:02:08.949 --> 00:02:14.030that we use the word of God. If you guys listened to my podcast2800:02:14.069 --> 00:02:16.900about putting on the armor of God, there is a piece of that armor2900:02:17.020 --> 00:02:22.620that the Bible names, yeah,basically itself, right, the sword of3000:02:22.659 --> 00:02:25.460the spirit, which is the wordof God. Right. And so,3100:02:25.780 --> 00:02:30.689and I encourage you guys bring YourBible out to the sidewalk with you.3200:02:30.169 --> 00:02:35.770Don't I mean listen people's perceptions orwhat they are, and I could care3300:02:35.810 --> 00:02:38.689less what their perceptions are if,as long as what I'm doing is is3400:02:38.729 --> 00:02:44.360biblical, and I believe having theword of God with you is Biblical.3500:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.240This is our weapon. It's alway. It is our weapon out there.3600:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.199Now, I know you might justwant to say, even though you might3700:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.879think I don't want to appear tobe like a Bible thumber or whatever,3800:02:53.199 --> 00:02:54.479just don't thump it. Just haveit with you. Ain't got a thump3900:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.750it right, have it with youto read. Yeah, I think it's4000:02:58.750 --> 00:03:02.750powerful personally. Yeah, that ifyou can open up your Bible and show4100:03:02.870 --> 00:03:06.949somebody in the scripture what the Biblesays, open it up to some one4200:03:07.270 --> 00:03:09.789thirty nine versus thirteen and fourteen andshow them, here's what God says for4300:03:09.830 --> 00:03:14.740you, form my inward parts.Yep, rather than okay, I don't4400:03:14.740 --> 00:03:17.900want to discount this, but Ipersonally, this is a personal conviction of4500:03:17.939 --> 00:03:24.020mine, but I can't stand whenI see someone sharing from their iphone.4600:03:24.340 --> 00:03:28.569Yeah, I don't like it,like like your friend Vicki over here,4700:03:28.729 --> 00:03:30.849like my friend Vicki. Or I'lltell you what I hate even worse.4800:03:31.449 --> 00:03:34.889I maybe hates hates, a strongword. Okay, I don't hate the4900:03:34.930 --> 00:03:37.930people. Right, you hate this. Just an old fashioned guy, I5000:03:38.009 --> 00:03:42.159guess. I like just have aBible. What I see someone preach from5100:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.400their phone. I've seen people dothat, street preachers preaching from their phone.5200:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.360Yeah, or even like counselors onthe sidewalk. Please, guys,5300:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.759if you're listen, don't take thisas like criticism. For me, it's5400:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.280probably a just a personal issue Ineed to deal with. Read from your5500:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.389phone, that's fine, but justknow while you're reading from your phone,5600:03:58.389 --> 00:04:00.590I'm judging you for it. Yeah, exactly. Well. So to that5700:04:00.750 --> 00:04:04.069point, I will share a storythat happened on the sidewalk. Okay,5800:04:04.349 --> 00:04:06.949where I was out there? Ithink it was this pest. Well,5900:04:08.069 --> 00:04:11.539two Fridays to go, and oneof the pro abortion people claim to be6000:04:11.580 --> 00:04:15.539a pastor. She was do Inever seen her before and I was shocked6100:04:15.819 --> 00:04:17.699and said, well, what doyou do with the verse? Why do6200:04:17.740 --> 00:04:20.939you call me Lord Lord and notdo what I say, which was an6300:04:21.100 --> 00:04:29.009actually word for word, perfect recitationof that verse. But she said what6400:04:29.129 --> 00:04:31.810verse is that? And I didn'tknow off the top of my head.6500:04:32.089 --> 00:04:35.250I mean I knew it, Ihad recited it correctly, but I didn't6600:04:35.250 --> 00:04:40.839know the reference. I'm terrible atat memorizing the references, and then she6700:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.959said, where's your Bible, becauseI pull out my phone. I said,6800:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.279I'll find you the verse, Ican get you the reference. Said6900:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.360No, get your Bible. Where'sYour Bible? I'm afraid that was I7000:04:50.519 --> 00:04:55.550was ashamed. That was convicting forme. I but today I stood and7100:04:55.670 --> 00:04:59.750bring my Bible out there. Ihave, I have valid reasons. I7200:04:59.790 --> 00:05:03.269feel they're my Bible is small.That's all I can carry out there with7300:05:03.310 --> 00:05:06.180all the other stuff I carry.Okay, and the print is small and7400:05:06.300 --> 00:05:09.899I don't see it. Yeah,so what am I going to do?7500:05:10.019 --> 00:05:13.980I mean, I could wear myreading glasses, use your giant print Bible7600:05:14.100 --> 00:05:15.939and have it in a backpack.On expect though. Oh yeah, I7700:05:16.100 --> 00:05:20.449would, or maybe just like havea little wheelbarrow with all my supplies that7800:05:20.569 --> 00:05:25.089I drag around the hire me well, but you make it dislike this podcast7900:05:25.170 --> 00:05:29.410is not necessarily about that. Okay, that's again. That's a little side8000:05:29.490 --> 00:05:30.689track. Think it's the head.I think it's good to have your Bible8100:05:30.730 --> 00:05:34.290with you and I have a smallerBible than I kind of can slip in8200:05:34.410 --> 00:05:39.639my in my bag and whatever else. Yeah, I don't carry a man8300:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.079purse, but I guess I could, you could, or you could have8400:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.040their they make all kinds of suffsuzs of bibles you can slip in belly8500:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.839packs and all that stuff. Butthat's not the point of this podcast.8600:05:49.670 --> 00:05:55.149The point of this podcast is whetheryou read it from your phone or whether8700:05:55.189 --> 00:05:58.829you have it printed out, likeVicki does. She has several scriptures printed8800:05:58.949 --> 00:06:03.339out right, whether you have itmemorized or whether you have your physical Bible8900:06:03.500 --> 00:06:09.579there. We need to be usingscripture and in particular we're going to talk9000:06:09.579 --> 00:06:15.220about some convicting verses right, becausethere are certainly comforting verses and versus,9100:06:15.420 --> 00:06:17.379like I shared some one hundred andthirty nine that are really powerful verses that9200:06:17.459 --> 00:06:21.850need to be shared, but thereare also some convicting verses that need to9300:06:21.850 --> 00:06:26.889be shared, like we can shareJohn Sixteen. Great, okay, for9400:06:27.009 --> 00:06:30.730God, so love the world canprobably I'll quote that one. That's an9500:06:30.730 --> 00:06:34.399awesome passage and now I think it'svery appropriate at an abortion center. But9600:06:34.560 --> 00:06:40.279there's also some convicting versus that weneed to share, where Jesus talks about9700:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.319loving your neighbor as yourself and hetalks about why do you call me Lord,9800:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.269Lord and not do what I say? Yeah, and pin people down9900:06:48.350 --> 00:06:53.029with the scripture, because you getthem to agree to John Sixteen. Yeah,10000:06:53.550 --> 00:06:56.750and which they've agreed to John Sixteen, you could ask the question,10100:06:56.829 --> 00:07:00.550would you believe the whole Bible?Yeah, okay. Well, let's go10200:07:00.829 --> 00:07:03.939into Luke. Was it six sixhundred and forty six I will be never10300:07:04.100 --> 00:07:08.579forget that reference. Now let's seewhat Luke, six hundred and forty six10400:07:08.699 --> 00:07:12.699I says. Yeah, and so, anyway, we want to talk about10500:07:12.699 --> 00:07:15.259some of these convicting verses. Sowe're going to share them with you as10600:07:15.379 --> 00:07:18.930yeah, maybe you as right theseverse references down. Yeah, put these10700:07:19.050 --> 00:07:23.689on a sheet carried in your bellyback like Vicky does. Yeah, or10800:07:23.889 --> 00:07:26.810put them to memory, if youcan, holight them in your Bible.10900:07:27.250 --> 00:07:30.920But they're convicting versus that, Ithink, can bring the conviction the Holy11000:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.000Spirit, because God uses his wordto bring conviction. The Holy Spirit,11100:07:34.079 --> 00:07:39.120coupled with the word of God,brings conviction and God can open these people's11200:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.160eyes to the fact that what they'redoing is not right in God's sight.11300:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.750Yeah, turn their hearts right.So here's some convicting verses. We're going11400:07:45.790 --> 00:07:47.389to share them with you and thenwe're going to kind of talk around them,11500:07:47.430 --> 00:07:51.110how they apply, how you canapply them on the sidewalk and share11600:07:51.189 --> 00:07:55.550them with the women going into theabortion center and the oneonone conversations with the11700:07:55.629 --> 00:07:59.259men also going into the abortion center. There's one on one conversations when they11800:07:59.300 --> 00:08:03.180might be appropriate. Yeah, yousaid, because I just in general,11900:08:03.579 --> 00:08:07.660they're not what I lead with.Right. I actually just if I were12000:08:07.740 --> 00:08:13.569to characterize how I tend to counsel, I tend to lead with a positive12100:08:15.050 --> 00:08:20.250message. Not that these are notpositive, but they're they're more the warnings12200:08:20.410 --> 00:08:22.170there are. I guess that's whatthese are. More these verses, I12300:08:22.250 --> 00:08:28.360think the convicting verses in general havewarnings in them and that's not where I12400:08:28.519 --> 00:08:35.039lead. I start with just thekind of the inspiration for good behavior,12500:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.669following and trusting in God. Andif that gentle answer or that gentle beginning12600:08:43.110 --> 00:08:48.190is not sufficient for helping to changetheir heart, then I moved you for12700:08:48.269 --> 00:08:52.389the de Jugular. Then I gofor the Jugguler. I you know what12800:08:52.309 --> 00:08:58.820to put a little context behind thatbiblically, if you think about Elijah when12900:08:58.019 --> 00:09:05.860he runs from Jezebel and he's hidingout or reads, he's on the mound.13000:09:05.940 --> 00:09:09.980I forget where he ends up,but but he's just ready to give13100:09:09.009 --> 00:09:13.570it a give everything up. He'sin such despair. And when God appears13200:09:13.649 --> 00:09:20.049to him, that progression of Godwas not in the storm. God was13300:09:20.210 --> 00:09:28.039not in the heavy wind, Godwas not in the whatever the next progression13400:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.840was, I can't remember. Butthen there was a gentle breeze. Yeah,13500:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.639and yeah, and that's when hefirst heard God. And and so13600:09:35.799 --> 00:09:41.549I was thinking God came to himin his despair, not as a storm13700:09:41.669 --> 00:09:48.029but as a still quiet get withgentleness. Yeah, and and I think13800:09:48.110 --> 00:09:50.669God would have moved into all thoseother things had and that does happen.13900:09:50.870 --> 00:09:54.940God does do that throughout the Bible, where it gets worse and worse and14000:09:54.019 --> 00:09:56.539worse for you if you're not listeningto that still small voice. But if14100:09:56.539 --> 00:10:01.740we can get them with that stillsmall voice, that's probably best. Yeah,14200:10:01.740 --> 00:10:07.649yeah, you don't have to gofor the juggular. Enlist absolutely absolutely14300:10:07.690 --> 00:10:09.730need to. Yeah, right,I mean basically, at the end of14400:10:09.769 --> 00:10:16.049the day, you can try anythingand everything to get to a person's heart,14500:10:16.169 --> 00:10:20.409to soften their heart, to bringconviction and there's only so far we14600:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.799can go right. It's got tobe the Holy Spirit convicting them and they've14700:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.919got to open their hearts to theword of God, and so I think14800:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.480it is good for us to kindof throw it through. Everything we can14900:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.600Adam give them with the Bible saysabout comfort, about his love for them15000:10:35.750 --> 00:10:39.710and for their baby. Do thinkthat's where we start, but then get15100:10:39.750 --> 00:10:43.110into the conviction of the Holy Spiritas far as they're sin, the rebellion15200:10:43.149 --> 00:10:50.100against God. You know that thatactually played out for me just probably Saturday15300:10:50.100 --> 00:10:54.820before last, where I was talkingto a young lady and started out very15400:10:54.860 --> 00:11:00.259kind of like, I guess,comforting in the sense that God's with her,15500:11:00.620 --> 00:11:03.289with, you know, her andher baby. God has a love15600:11:03.370 --> 00:11:05.490for her and her baby. Buther heart was just hard and she was15700:11:05.529 --> 00:11:11.529trying to justify herself, and soI went into some convicting Scriptures and convicting15800:11:11.649 --> 00:11:15.490realities and really broke down for her. You know, if you believe that15900:11:15.610 --> 00:11:18.679God loved you, because I kindof went in that whole you know my16000:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.519fail proof probablife argument that, youknow, Does God love you? When16100:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.399did he begin to love you?Before I was born. And I pin16200:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.960her down, doesn't he also lovedthis baby, and I kind of really16300:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.480got into the idea that, youknow, because she said, well,16400:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.590God gives us all free will,so what you're using is you're using the16500:11:35.669 --> 00:11:41.669free will that God has given youas a justification to take someone else's free16600:11:41.710 --> 00:11:46.700will away from them. Yeah,and and the word of God will not16700:11:46.860 --> 00:11:50.779stand with that, like God's God'snot okay with that and you're going to16800:11:50.860 --> 00:11:56.100stand accountable before him for what you'redoing. Justifying yourself about God's love for16900:11:56.179 --> 00:12:00.139you and then saying basically, God'slove for this baby is not the same,17000:12:00.299 --> 00:12:03.370to use some other convicting verses andthings. Yeah, yeah, but,17100:12:03.490 --> 00:12:07.210yeah, I kind of went from, I guess, comforting to convicting.17200:12:07.970 --> 00:12:11.049Yeah, because I thought that wasappropriate in that situation. And I17300:12:11.169 --> 00:12:16.759think to your point, ultimately,every single person you have the opportunity for17400:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.600any kind of extended discussion, youcan't ignore the convicting verses of God,17500:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.120because the reason that they're there foran abortion is in all likelihood, they17600:12:26.159 --> 00:12:31.629are leading a life of sin.Yeah, and and unless they are convicted17700:12:31.710 --> 00:12:35.350that not only is abortion wrong,but so many of the choices that have17800:12:35.470 --> 00:12:39.990led them to that place need tobe addressed and ultimately they need to submit17900:12:39.029 --> 00:12:41.590their lives to the Lord, andyou're not going to get there if they're18000:12:41.590 --> 00:12:46.980not convicted of their sin, whichis a heart truth. So, but18100:12:46.179 --> 00:12:52.059we don't always have that opportunity inthose few minutes be in front of an18200:12:52.059 --> 00:12:56.179abortion center, but I do thinkwe usually, at least I usually do,18300:12:56.460 --> 00:13:01.450have the opportunity to introduce some ofthese convicting verses, even if I18400:13:01.490 --> 00:13:05.289can't go into the full gospel presentationor anything like that. Right, but18500:13:05.490 --> 00:13:09.409some of these were some of myfavorite, okay, favorites that that I18600:13:09.529 --> 00:13:13.919found that I've used, okay,frequently. Yeah, and so read a18700:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.639few of them. I kind oftalk random holy apply yeah, and how,18800:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.159you guess, can use them outthere on the sidewalk. So this18900:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.000the first one. You have here. A second Peter to Twenty three,19000:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.629twenty one, and it says forif, after they have escaped the pollutions19100:13:26.629 --> 00:13:30.909of the world through the knowledge ofthe Lord and Save Your Jesus Christ,19200:13:31.070 --> 00:13:35.710they are again entangled in them andovercome, the latter end is worse for19300:13:35.789 --> 00:13:39.309them than the beginning, for itwould have been better for them not to19400:13:39.389 --> 00:13:43.220have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn from19500:13:43.220 --> 00:13:46.379the holy commandment delivered to them.That's pretty powerful statement. It's yeah,19600:13:46.379 --> 00:13:50.059yeah, because that is what's happeningout there, isn't it? Yeah.19700:13:50.100 --> 00:13:54.620Well, you encounter so many ofthese people that go into the abortion centers,19800:13:54.659 --> 00:13:56.450that claim to be Christians, thatclaim to love God. Yeah,19900:13:58.330 --> 00:14:01.730in this verse speaks just to that. When you've okay, you claim to20000:14:01.809 --> 00:14:05.610be to haven't had some kind ofencounter with the Lord, have some kind20100:14:05.610 --> 00:14:07.730of relationship with Jesus, you askJesus into your heart or something like that,20200:14:09.929 --> 00:14:13.039and by that you've escaped the pollutionsof the world through the knowledge of20300:14:13.120 --> 00:14:18.679Jesus, then you're entangling yourself againinto sin. Yeah, like you bring20400:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.590yourself under greater condemnation and judgment.Now you can get into all the theological20500:14:24.669 --> 00:14:28.429implications of that, and there's debatesout there about once saved, always saved20600:14:28.590 --> 00:14:31.309and all these other things. That'snot really what you're getting to in front20700:14:31.350 --> 00:14:35.710of the abortion center. You're justbringing to bear the word of God.20800:14:35.950 --> 00:14:39.419What, what do you believe aboutthis? Because the Bible says if you've20900:14:39.259 --> 00:14:43.700escaped the blutions of the world throughthe knowledge of Jesus and you're going to21000:14:43.740 --> 00:14:48.899go back into that stuff, backinto unrighteousness. You murdering your own child.21100:14:50.500 --> 00:14:54.929Yeah, then it would be betterhave do you have not even really21200:14:56.409 --> 00:15:00.049connected yourself with Jesus? Yeah,claim to be connected with Jesus and being21300:15:00.129 --> 00:15:03.769rebellion to him. Yes, yourjudgment is going to be worse. Well,21400:15:03.009 --> 00:15:07.759that part that you just said aboutrighteousness, that you're, you know,21500:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.240piggyback in off of that phrase.It would be better not to have21600:15:11.360 --> 00:15:15.919known the way of righteousness. Went. Before I introduce this first, I'll21700:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.919I'll often say, do you believethis is a human being? Yes.21800:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.830Do you believe it a living humanbeing? Yes. Do you believe that21900:15:26.990 --> 00:15:31.190we should not murder innocent living humanbeings? Yes, and then you say22000:15:31.309 --> 00:15:35.269so. And does God say anythingabout that? Well, yes, the22100:15:35.389 --> 00:15:37.820sixth commandment that shall not murder.Yeah. Is that the way of righteousness?22200:15:39.019 --> 00:15:43.100Well, yes, what would youmake of this verse? And then,22300:15:43.139 --> 00:15:46.740because they do know, they knowthe way of righteousness. Sure,22400:15:46.940 --> 00:15:50.490yeah, if they, if theyand if they claim to and have any22500:15:50.570 --> 00:15:54.850knowledge of Jesus Christ, they knowthe way of righteousness. You can't ignore22600:15:54.929 --> 00:15:58.169them. What that verse is saying. Yeah, absolutely so I think it's22700:15:58.169 --> 00:16:03.679powerful if you build on one ofthe things that I think you do well22800:16:04.200 --> 00:16:10.679and and I think it's really important, is to take a passage and break22900:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.840it down and pull out the differentpieces one at a time and build to23000:16:17.159 --> 00:16:18.230you agree with this, you agreewith this, you agree with this.23100:16:18.389 --> 00:16:23.629Well, what do you say withRussa? Then? Yeah, you can't,23200:16:23.789 --> 00:16:26.870and one of the points I'll tryto get to with people. You23300:16:26.950 --> 00:16:32.029can't affirm portions of the word ofGod that you agree with and reject other23400:16:32.149 --> 00:16:34.659portions that you disagree with. Right, if you believe that John Sixteen is23500:16:34.779 --> 00:16:38.740true, then you also need tobelieve that Second Peter to Twenty three,23600:16:38.860 --> 00:16:42.019twenty one is true. And ifnot, why do you decide? Why23700:16:42.059 --> 00:16:45.419do you reject one and accept theother? I'll sometimes ask that and there's23800:16:45.500 --> 00:16:49.889no real good answer, sure forthat. Yeah, another verse is He23900:16:49.970 --> 00:16:55.450Brews Ten, twenty six through absolutelyone of my very favorites. I quote,24000:16:55.529 --> 00:16:59.289I have this one memorized, whichis hard for me to do,24100:16:59.529 --> 00:17:04.079but this one was so important insharing the Gospel. I actually do use24200:17:04.079 --> 00:17:10.039this verse when I share the Gospelbecause I think the danger of this verse24300:17:10.319 --> 00:17:15.640is to take it before you actuallydwell on and know this verse after Hearing24400:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.309The Gospel, is to just think, well, I'm saved, I ask24500:17:19.390 --> 00:17:25.470forgiveness, Jesus forgives me so Ican go in and have the abortion,24600:17:25.789 --> 00:17:29.750because I know that Jesus will forgiveme and I want to get rid of24700:17:29.829 --> 00:17:33.059that misconception right away. Right.Yeah, yeah, so Hebrews Ten,24800:17:33.180 --> 00:17:37.579twenty six through twenty seven, forif we sin willfully after we have received24900:17:37.579 --> 00:17:41.660the knowledge of the truth, they'relong no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,25000:17:42.259 --> 00:17:48.730but a certain fearful expectation of judgmentand fiery indignation which will devour the25100:17:48.849 --> 00:17:52.410adversaries. Wow, that's heavy.I will often say when I finish this25200:17:53.170 --> 00:17:56.089that's a pretty frightening verse, isn'tit? Yeah, and just let it25300:17:56.250 --> 00:18:00.960sit with them. I don't evenneed to really explain it because it says.25400:18:02.000 --> 00:18:07.039It says if we after we receivethe knowledge, tooth, there no25500:18:07.279 --> 00:18:15.190longer remains a sacrifice for sins.That's heavy. Yeah, that is they're25600:18:15.269 --> 00:18:19.349no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, and I'm one of the reasons I25700:18:19.430 --> 00:18:23.789don't explain it is because I havea hard time explaining it to myself.25800:18:23.829 --> 00:18:32.299Yeah, but if a heart hasbecome so hardened that they are willfully continuing25900:18:32.539 --> 00:18:37.660down a path that God has clearlytold them not to go, then is26000:18:37.900 --> 00:18:42.769any repentance sincere? Right? Yeah, maybe that's what it's saying. Whatever26100:18:42.849 --> 00:18:47.529it's saying, it's scary. Yeah, well, it is scary and I26200:18:47.650 --> 00:18:52.490could try to get into it andbreak it down hermonoustically and exogetically and every26300:18:52.569 --> 00:18:55.759other way. It's big, weird. Ill, I won't try to do26400:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.079that because I think we'd have toget into the larger context of the entire26500:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.920book of Hebrews, especially in particular. I mean the context of the ten26600:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.720chapter of Hebrews. I won't getinto that, but I think just kind26700:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.029of let it be out there atface value. And, like you said,26800:19:11.750 --> 00:19:17.309don't you believe that's a scary verse? And if anybody reads that verse26900:19:17.390 --> 00:19:22.549and doesn't think it's kind of ascary verse, ends with the fiery judgment27000:19:22.589 --> 00:19:26.420it speaks, you know that thelast part of it is and fiery indignation27100:19:27.099 --> 00:19:32.779which will devour the adversaries, theadversaries of the Lord. Yeah, right,27200:19:32.859 --> 00:19:37.460that's pretty that's how pretty good?That's it. That's definitely describing hell27300:19:37.660 --> 00:19:42.890of and if you willfully continue insin, that's what's going to be awaiting27400:19:42.970 --> 00:19:47.609you. And what does it meanto willfully continue in sin? Well,27500:19:47.730 --> 00:19:51.369you got to have knowledge. Theydo have knowledge. They will. They27600:19:51.690 --> 00:19:53.839have expressed that, usually in aconversation where at when I come to this27700:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.559verse, they have expressed an understanding. They have knowledge that what they're about27800:19:57.559 --> 00:20:03.640to do is s in. Manyof them have continued that. That that's27900:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.470an important part of it. Having, you know, while willfully, if28000:20:07.509 --> 00:20:11.789we go on sending my version,I think says continue in sin. So28100:20:11.910 --> 00:20:15.910if you're continuing and sin willfully,and for many of these women this is28200:20:15.109 --> 00:20:19.750the third, fourth, Fifth AbortionShun, that to me is a wilful28300:20:21.349 --> 00:20:26.619continuation, continuing and sin. Soso if you start talking with them about28400:20:26.660 --> 00:20:33.579that and then what God says awaitsthem and just let them ponder, is28500:20:33.700 --> 00:20:40.690what you're about to do worth this? Right? Yeah, yeah, without28600:20:40.730 --> 00:20:44.130again, without getting into the theologicalimplications of it. And you know,28700:20:44.809 --> 00:20:48.170what could that mean for the Christianand what does it mean to continue willfully28800:20:48.210 --> 00:20:52.039own and sin? Fact is there'sa stern warning here, right, there28900:20:52.160 --> 00:20:57.119is judgment and you don't want torisk it. Yeah, right, yeah,29000:20:57.160 --> 00:21:02.440and so, to be specific,I would I will often use this,29100:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.549like I said, after sharing theGospel, but also if someone says,29200:21:07.109 --> 00:21:11.549well, God is a forgiving God, and so I've already said I'm29300:21:11.549 --> 00:21:15.710sorry. Sometimes I'll say that moreI'm just going to go in there and29400:21:15.789 --> 00:21:18.619do this, but it's the lasttime and then I'll then I'll repent.29500:21:18.700 --> 00:21:21.980Then I'll tell him I'm sorry.That's a that's a good time for trotting29600:21:22.019 --> 00:21:26.019out this verse, in my opinion. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, well,29700:21:26.059 --> 00:21:30.140another verse that thinks, a powerfulverse, maybe even one of the29800:21:30.420 --> 00:21:33.769most powerful verses to share, andyou share this often, even in just29900:21:33.890 --> 00:21:37.369breaking down the Gospel. Yeah,and sharing about the Lordship of Jesus,30000:21:37.410 --> 00:21:41.690because we're sharing the gospel. We'renot saying just just ask Jesus into your30100:21:41.730 --> 00:21:44.450heart and going your life, goingwith your life right. We're yeah,30200:21:44.609 --> 00:21:48.880we want them them ask Jesus intotheir life as Lord Right now. We30300:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.960do just so you guys know,we do try to pin them down with30400:21:53.359 --> 00:21:56.960really surrendering their life to Jesus rightthen and there. We're not doing the30500:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.240you know whole says, say thesinner's prayer thing, necessarily kind of want30600:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.630them to articulate a prayer themselves.Yep, we shared the Gospel along the30700:22:03.750 --> 00:22:07.630lines of what Ray Comfort does,sharing the law and then the grace of30800:22:07.710 --> 00:22:14.910God in light of the law andour guilt before him. But to some,30900:22:15.150 --> 00:22:17.660some, what I'm trying to sayis we talk about Lordship. We31000:22:17.740 --> 00:22:21.420talked about Jesus becoming not just yoursavior, right, but your Lord.31100:22:21.460 --> 00:22:23.259And Yeah, what does that mean? What does that mean? And they31200:22:23.299 --> 00:22:29.420can't answer that. And I'm notsure Ray Comfort goes heavily into Lordship in31300:22:29.619 --> 00:22:33.650the he may, but in thethe Youtube presentations that I've watched, I31400:22:33.730 --> 00:22:37.970don't think he does so much.I do because I have found in all31500:22:38.009 --> 00:22:42.569the years being out there sharing theGospel, it is a huge issue.31600:22:42.650 --> 00:22:47.880Yeah for it, because so manypeople, they're on the virtual and their31700:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.599baby, claim Jesus is their Lordand they really have no idea what young31800:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.400chip means. So lukendred and fortysix says, but why do you call31900:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.509me Lord, Lord, and donot do the things which I say?32000:23:00.549 --> 00:23:07.470Yeah, and the word Lord MeansMaster. Yeah, it's what a servant32100:23:07.509 --> 00:23:11.940calls his master. So Jesus issaying, why do you call Me Lord?32200:23:12.299 --> 00:23:15.099Why do you say that you're myservant when you're not doing what I32300:23:15.180 --> 00:23:19.859say. Yeah, and in thecontext of the abortion center, of course,32400:23:21.019 --> 00:23:22.900when you've kind of pinned them downwith the truth that's a baby that32500:23:22.940 --> 00:23:26.059they carry, that their struggles arereal, yes, but their baby doesn't32600:23:26.059 --> 00:23:30.690deserve to die. And yet theyclaim to be a Christian. What does32700:23:30.730 --> 00:23:33.250Jesus say? So why do youcall me Lord Lord and do not do32800:23:33.369 --> 00:23:37.930the things which I say? Youcan get a woman to agree that abortion32900:23:37.049 --> 00:23:41.759is wrong, you can get themto agree that their baby is loved by33000:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.400God, that it to abort theirchild is sin. But it's not just33100:23:45.559 --> 00:23:51.480the agreement, it's the doing right, and that's what Jesus is talking about33200:23:51.480 --> 00:23:56.509here. Yeah, and after thatfirst the next one that that we wrote33300:23:56.549 --> 00:24:00.789down, and maybe you could readthat, is the Matthew Seven Twenty hundred33400:24:00.789 --> 00:24:03.750twenty three, because it piggybacks offof that. It takes it even a33500:24:03.109 --> 00:24:07.150step further, which is obvious whenyou read it. Yeah, sure,33600:24:07.470 --> 00:24:11.460and this is a scary verse here. It is, yes, because it33700:24:11.579 --> 00:24:15.539speaks of judgment, it speaks of, you know, Jesus being fed up33800:24:15.619 --> 00:24:21.099with with people hypocritically proclaiming him tobe Lord and so this is Matthew Seven,33900:24:21.500 --> 00:24:23.849twenty one through twenty three, rightsays. Not everyone who says to34000:24:23.890 --> 00:24:27.450me, Lord Lord shall enter theKingdom of Heaven, but he who does34100:24:27.529 --> 00:24:32.130the will of my father in heaven. Many will say to me in that34200:24:32.250 --> 00:24:34.250day, Lord, Lord, havewe not prophesied in your name and cast34300:24:34.250 --> 00:24:38.039out demons in your name and donemany mighty are many wonders in your name?34400:24:38.319 --> 00:24:42.000And then I will declare to them, I never knew you, depart34500:24:42.039 --> 00:24:47.799from me, you who practice lawlessness, depart from me. I never knew34600:24:47.839 --> 00:24:51.839you. Here they are, they'redoing these apparent miracles and they are certainly34700:24:51.960 --> 00:24:57.430calling him Lord, but he's sayingI never knew you, depart from me.34800:24:57.950 --> 00:25:04.549That is that's a huge warning topeople saying Jesus as Lord. Yeah,34900:25:04.589 --> 00:25:07.660and being if I'm sharing the scripturewith someone out in front of the35000:25:07.660 --> 00:25:11.299abortion center, sharing it with amom or with a dad breaking this down,35100:25:11.859 --> 00:25:15.259I'll ask them pointedly, are youone of those people that are calling35200:25:15.299 --> 00:25:22.809Jesus Lord Lord, and yet you'renot willing to obey him? That's hypocrisy.35300:25:22.849 --> 00:25:26.130Yeah, just because you, andI'll use the term talk is cheap.35400:25:26.490 --> 00:25:30.930God's not after just your words,God's not after you, just saying35500:25:30.009 --> 00:25:36.599he's Lord. God is after you. You actually letting him be Lord in35600:25:36.799 --> 00:25:38.720your life, right, but ifyou continue to do what you want to35700:25:38.799 --> 00:25:42.759do in contrast to what he wantsyou to do, he's not the Lord35800:25:42.799 --> 00:25:47.480of your life. You are theLord of your own life's guess what that's35900:25:47.480 --> 00:25:49.349going to lead you, exactly,and look where it has let you,36000:25:49.509 --> 00:25:52.789where it has led you, lookwhere it's going to continue to lead you.36100:25:52.829 --> 00:25:56.509It's ultimately going to lead you tohell. Yeah, yeah. The36200:25:56.190 --> 00:26:03.470one I think thing to be careful, excuse me of with with these verses,36300:26:03.509 --> 00:26:06.579is I have had people say,well, it's by fair faith,36400:26:06.740 --> 00:26:11.940not works, that that you're saved, and and so here Jesus is saying,36500:26:12.500 --> 00:26:18.019but your works will reflect your faith. Yeah, exactly, and to36600:26:18.140 --> 00:26:22.329make that distinction clear. Yeah,absolutely. It's not the works that save36700:26:22.450 --> 00:26:25.609you, right, but the worksare the outflow of the fact that you36800:26:25.730 --> 00:26:30.769are saved. Right, that's that'sthe evidence. That's like the fruit does36900:26:30.849 --> 00:26:33.359not what makes the tree what itis, but it is the evidence of37000:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.440what kind of truth that it is. Yeah, right, and he could37100:26:37.480 --> 00:26:40.799not make it any clearer. Don'tcall me Lord unless you're doing what I37200:26:40.839 --> 00:26:44.440say. Yeah, or I amnot your Lord. Yeah, you're the37300:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.710Lord of your life. Yeah,absolutely. Yeah, very good verse.37400:26:48.349 --> 00:26:52.589So another verse. This is John, the gospel of John, Chapter Fourteen,37500:26:52.630 --> 00:26:56.869Verses Twenty three through twenty four,says Jesus answered and said to him,37600:26:57.589 --> 00:27:00.859if anyone loves me, he willkeep my word, and my father37700:27:00.980 --> 00:27:04.460will love him and we will cometo him and make our home with him.37800:27:06.220 --> 00:27:08.660He who does not love me doesnot keep my words, and the37900:27:08.819 --> 00:27:12.579word which you hear is not mine, but the fathers who sent me.38000:27:14.539 --> 00:27:18.609So this is Jesus talking about hisword, talking about his commands. If38100:27:18.690 --> 00:27:22.450anyone loves me, he's going tokeep my word. And you know,38200:27:22.690 --> 00:27:25.769I think this is appropriate to shareas well. Out there on the sidewalk38300:27:25.849 --> 00:27:30.200or whatever context, you're counseling awoman WHO's trying to justify her abortion by38400:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.319saying that God loves her and sheloves God and all this. But Jesus38500:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.519this is saying, if you loveme, you're going to keep my word.38600:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.039Yeah, and Boarding your child isnot keeping Jesus word. Right.38700:27:40.279 --> 00:27:44.119And and a way to introduce thisverse might be to say do you love38800:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.349God? Yeah, I asked thata lot out on the side. Wrek.38900:27:47.390 --> 00:27:51.589Do you love God? They almostalways say yes. And then this39000:27:51.710 --> 00:27:56.470would be a great verse to sayat that point. Yeah, because if39100:27:56.910 --> 00:28:00.140again, God is very clear.Okay, if you love him, keep39200:28:00.220 --> 00:28:06.059his word. And what is hisword say about killing innocent people? That39300:28:06.180 --> 00:28:10.140shall not murder? His whird isclear. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.39400:28:10.220 --> 00:28:15.490Yeah. So another verse. Itactually the whole book of First John Is39500:28:15.609 --> 00:28:18.089Powerful. Let me just tell you. First John is probably one of my39600:28:18.130 --> 00:28:22.450favorite books outside of Hebrews. Ireally like Hebrews as well. Keep who's39700:28:22.450 --> 00:28:25.930a lot too, but first Johnis really practical, really kind of pins39800:28:25.970 --> 00:28:32.440people down, because we do havethis kind of false notion that that almost39900:28:32.480 --> 00:28:37.000got owes us something and that theway we live is kind of irrelevant to40000:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.509God and that our words are actuallywhat's important. Well, John's cutting through40100:28:41.549 --> 00:28:44.910that garbage. It's not just yourwords, yes, it's not. Let's40200:28:44.950 --> 00:28:47.470not love or his he says this. And First John, let's not love40300:28:48.109 --> 00:28:52.269our brethren only in word, butalso in word. And indeed, so40400:28:52.390 --> 00:28:57.380here's what he says in this firstJohn. Three, three, right,40500:28:57.420 --> 00:29:00.180yeah, versus four through six,and then I think you kind of broken40600:29:00.220 --> 00:29:03.420it up in verses eight through tenhere. Yeah, so i's going to40700:29:03.460 --> 00:29:08.539read. It says everyone who practicessin also practices lawlessness, and sin is40800:29:08.740 --> 00:29:12.690lawlessness. You know that he appearedin order to take away sins, and40900:29:12.769 --> 00:29:17.410in him there is no sin.No one who abides in him sins.41000:29:17.609 --> 00:29:22.809No one who sins has seen himor knows him. The one who practices41100:29:22.970 --> 00:29:25.799sin is of the devil, forthe devil as sinned from the beginning.41200:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.599The son of God appeared for thispurpose to destroy the works of the devil.41300:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.599No one who was born of Godpractices sin, because his seat abides41400:29:33.640 --> 00:29:38.509in him, and he cannot sinbecause he is born of God. By41500:29:38.630 --> 00:29:41.069this, the children of God andthe children of the devil are obvious.41600:29:41.109 --> 00:29:45.470Anyone who does not practice righteousness isnot of God, nor the one who41700:29:45.789 --> 00:29:49.670does not love his brother. Wow, that is chock full, yeah,41800:29:49.710 --> 00:29:55.819of convicting. Yeah, and I'lljust be be really candid, convicting for41900:29:55.980 --> 00:29:59.339me as well. Yeah, notjust for the people I'm ministering tight right42000:29:59.539 --> 00:30:03.180now again. I've let me there'sone point in there. It says he42100:30:03.380 --> 00:30:08.089who is born of God or whowho no one who is born of God42200:30:08.210 --> 00:30:12.289practices sin, because he sees,abides in him and he cannot sin.42300:30:12.569 --> 00:30:18.609Wow, no one who sees him, I'm sorry, no one who sins42400:30:18.009 --> 00:30:23.000has seen him or knows you.Wow, have you sinned? Not In42500:30:23.079 --> 00:30:27.559the past five minutes. Okay,I mean I would say this is a42600:30:27.680 --> 00:30:33.240verse where conviction should be there andwe need to examine our own hearts first.42700:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.470Yeah, I do think, though, if you share this verse,42800:30:37.829 --> 00:30:40.430the question is going to be asked. Well, if this is true,42900:30:40.470 --> 00:30:42.869then then we're all doomed, right, because I've sinned, and then they'll43000:30:42.869 --> 00:30:47.269ask you, have you sinned also, which they do, by the way.43100:30:47.349 --> 00:30:51.619This happens all the time. Thatis the response exactly. Yeah,43200:30:51.660 --> 00:30:53.019I get when I read this verse. Yeah, and so what is your43300:30:53.220 --> 00:30:56.180what is your reply? Well,it's an opportunity, then, to share43400:30:56.220 --> 00:31:00.099the Gospel, the truth of theGospel, that that all have sinned and43500:31:00.180 --> 00:31:03.059fall short of the glory of Godand there is a penalty for sin,43600:31:03.180 --> 00:31:07.170but there is also an answer.Yeah, and and then go on to43700:31:07.329 --> 00:31:11.529share the full Gospel as well,as well as I can, but I43800:31:11.730 --> 00:31:17.130will focus on taking the heat offof me. Yeah, since I'm not43900:31:17.170 --> 00:31:19.200about to kill a baby right thenand there, and they are so at44000:31:19.279 --> 00:31:23.079the moment, that is the morepressing issue, and then when I go44100:31:23.240 --> 00:31:27.079home I can deal with my ownmy own issues. But but I'll focus44200:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.839on things like the one who practicessin is of the devil. Yeah,44300:31:30.920 --> 00:31:37.950and no one who is born ofGod practices sin, and that the those44400:31:37.029 --> 00:31:41.269who are the children of God andthe children of the devil. They're obvious.44500:31:41.390 --> 00:31:45.750than ask them. which do youthink, looking here at this abortion44600:31:45.950 --> 00:31:51.700center and your choice is before you? which is the choice that shows you44700:31:51.779 --> 00:31:55.299are a child of God and whichshows you the Cho Voice, or which44800:31:55.339 --> 00:31:59.980choice shows you that you are achild of God or of Satan? Yeah,44900:32:00.259 --> 00:32:02.930and the answer is obvious, justlike this first says. It is45000:32:04.250 --> 00:32:08.730obvious. So at least I thinkwhat we're kind of trying to get them45100:32:08.930 --> 00:32:13.930to is a point of acknowledging,right, that what they're about to do45200:32:14.490 --> 00:32:17.519is a grievous sin, yeah,against God, and that there are going45300:32:17.599 --> 00:32:22.480to be SEF severe constantly. Yes. So we're not sharing this verse from45400:32:22.480 --> 00:32:27.759a perspective of we're not sinners,you are right. This is not like45500:32:28.279 --> 00:32:30.950condemning them and showing them how muchbetter we are than they are. Right,45600:32:31.390 --> 00:32:35.789but this is showing them that sendsa big deal to God. Yes,45700:32:36.109 --> 00:32:38.109and then it incurs wrath and judgmentfrom God and we need to examine45800:32:38.150 --> 00:32:43.509our own hearts. Now I'll justsay generally what's being conveyed in this scripture45900:32:44.269 --> 00:32:47.140is the pattern of our life.If the pattern of your life is one46000:32:47.180 --> 00:32:52.980of sin and rebellion to God,don't pretend to be his child. If46100:32:52.059 --> 00:32:59.410the pattern of your life is righteousnessand you seek to please God, then46200:32:59.490 --> 00:33:02.769you're his child. Right. That'sthat's evident. So at that point where46300:33:02.849 --> 00:33:07.130says he cannot sin, obviously weknow that we can. And their scripture46400:33:07.170 --> 00:33:09.769versus. It tells even John Himself. John's not saying a Christian can never46500:33:09.809 --> 00:33:13.960sin. He's saying that it shouldnot be the pattern of her life.46600:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.200And if you go back in thefirst chapter of First John where he talks46700:33:16.240 --> 00:33:21.039about this, he says I writeyou these things, little children. I46800:33:21.079 --> 00:33:23.039think it's actually in the second chapter. Write these these things you little children,46900:33:23.359 --> 00:33:27.430so that you will so that youwould not sin. But if you47000:33:27.509 --> 00:33:30.630do sin, you have an advocatewith the father. So he's saying I47100:33:30.990 --> 00:33:32.390don't want you to sin, butif you do, and so he's not47200:33:32.509 --> 00:33:37.990refuting himself in his same letter.Right he's he is saying that Christians,47300:33:37.430 --> 00:33:42.299yes, they do sin, butit's not the pattern of their life.47400:33:42.539 --> 00:33:45.740And I think laying that out andhelping helping a person at the abortions that47500:33:45.740 --> 00:33:49.339are to understand that what he's talkingabout. Now you don't always have time47600:33:49.420 --> 00:33:52.819to lay all that out. Ithink the most important thing is like what47700:33:52.940 --> 00:33:57.730you mentioned, that contrast between lightsand darkness. Yeah, between the Devil47800:33:58.170 --> 00:34:00.049and the Lord. Yeah, whoseside are you? All Right? That's47900:34:00.049 --> 00:34:04.049the most helpful thing. Things.First, I probably wouldn't go to the48000:34:04.170 --> 00:34:07.210part about the advocate, that wehave an advocate, he who sins,48100:34:07.289 --> 00:34:12.440because again, they're just waiting tograsp it. Anything you offer that allows48200:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.639them to justify what they're about todo. And if you're in if they're48300:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.079thinking, oh well, I've gotan advocate and when I do sin,48400:34:19.199 --> 00:34:22.599then and then it's fine for me, for me to go sind. So48500:34:22.599 --> 00:34:30.110so the contrast is really critical becauseeven they see it, and I've rarely48600:34:30.269 --> 00:34:35.989had someone that will say that theyhave not had a pattern of sin.48700:34:36.349 --> 00:34:39.340Yeah, and that that is whathas led them there. Very few of48800:34:39.500 --> 00:34:45.059them will say, well, I'mI'm really mostly good. This is like48900:34:45.179 --> 00:34:47.219the only really bad thing I've everdone. Right, most of them,49000:34:47.219 --> 00:34:52.809see, there's been a progression ofbad, sinful choices that have led them49100:34:52.929 --> 00:34:59.130to now this really serious yeah,sinful choice now t takes the life of49200:34:59.170 --> 00:35:01.730an innocent human being. Yeah,and I think sometimes we can get into49300:35:01.769 --> 00:35:06.769the mount the mindset and sharing thesescriptures that we somehow have to explain them49400:35:06.809 --> 00:35:08.199all thoroughly and there's going to bequestions, like you said, and you49500:35:08.320 --> 00:35:12.039share this scripture, there's questions.Or what about this? It says he49600:35:12.079 --> 00:35:15.039cannot say in it all. Okay, there's can be questions, but certainly49700:35:15.639 --> 00:35:19.679the Holy Spirit needs to do awork in their hearts and just to share49800:35:19.719 --> 00:35:22.110the words. And if they askme a question, and I don't want49900:35:22.110 --> 00:35:28.829to get in depth and try toexplain some theological exegetical breakdown with that scripture50000:35:28.869 --> 00:35:34.230means, I'll just say think aboutthat verse, think about where you stand50100:35:34.269 --> 00:35:37.940in light of that verse and letthe Lord speak it to your heart.50200:35:37.940 --> 00:35:40.179And I even pray over them andthat that sort of thing. Ultimately,50300:35:40.219 --> 00:35:45.099I'm trust in the word of Godto do it's work. Yeah, and50400:35:45.219 --> 00:35:46.980so these are just some scriptures andwe're actually going to put an article out50500:35:47.099 --> 00:35:50.530right and I think we'll have allof the scriptures. We get in touch50600:35:50.610 --> 00:35:52.929on all of them, but there'sthere's quite a few more and I'm sure50700:35:52.969 --> 00:35:57.849you guys know many more verses thatyou can share.
