A life that is so far superior that you can't hardly believe it.
00:00:44.734 --> 00:00:47.770

Except the good stuff. and when samuel confronted him about it,
00:01:29.712 --> 00:01:30.713

"i desire obedience, not sacrifice." and i think sometimes we don't
00:01:51.367 --> 00:01:52.969
Not sacrifice." and i think sometimes we don't obey god in something,
00:01:53.036 --> 00:01:54.437
And i think sometimes we don't obey god in something, and then we will
00:01:54.504 --> 00:01:55.205
Obey god in something, and then we will do something like give
00:01:55.271 --> 00:01:56.906

Wonder how happy it would make the lord if everybody that's
00:02:13.223 --> 00:02:14.724
Wonder how happy it would make the lord if everybody that's a christian never complained.

Yes, we need to be encouraged. there are times when we need to be rebuked.
00:05:02.258 --> 00:05:04.861
There are times when we need to be rebuked. there's times when the sermon

To be christians. and this other guy was living with his girlfriend,
00:06:39.055 --> 00:06:41.224
And this other guy was living with his girlfriend, had been for quite some time.
00:06:41.290 --> 00:06:43.292
Living with his girlfriend, had been for quite some time. and he says to the guy that
00:06:43.359 --> 00:06:44.460
Had been for quite some time. and he says to the guy that i know, "i've got a good idea.
00:06:44.527 --> 00:06:47.763
And he says to the guy that i know, "i've got a good idea. why don't we fast once a week
00:06:47.830 --> 00:06:52.134
I know, "i've got a good idea. why don't we fast once a week and pray together for god
00:06:52.201 --> 00:06:57.340
Why don't we fast once a week and pray together for god to do these certain things?"
00:06:57.406 --> 00:06:58.374
And pray together for god to do these certain things?" they wanted him to do.
00:06:58.441 --> 00:07:01.043
To do these certain things?" they wanted him to do. now, excuse me,
00:07:01.110 --> 00:07:02.144
They wanted him to do. now, excuse me, but that's just stupid.
00:07:02.211 --> 00:07:06.382
Now, excuse me, but that's just stupid. i mean, why,--why even bother?
00:07:06.449 --> 00:07:13.723
But that's just stupid. i mean, why,--why even bother? but you know, somehow
00:07:13.789 --> 00:07:14.557
I mean, why,--why even bother? but you know, somehow or another he had himself
00:07:14.624 --> 00:07:15.892
But you know, somehow or another he had himself convinced that what he was
00:07:15.958 --> 00:07:16.759
Or another he had himself convinced that what he was doing wasn't wrong.
00:07:16.826 --> 00:07:18.661
And that's the scary part.
00:07:19.595 --> 00:07:20.596
And that's the scary part. the bible says that "the heart
00:07:20.663 --> 00:07:22.265
And that's the scary part. the bible says that "the heart is deceitful above all things.
00:07:22.331 --> 00:07:24.901
The bible says that "the heart is deceitful above all things. who can know his own heart?"
00:07:24.967 --> 00:07:28.404
Is deceitful above all things. who can know his own heart?" that's why we gotta have some
00:07:28.471 --> 00:07:29.505
Who can know his own heart?" that's why we gotta have some meetings with ourself.
00:07:29.572 --> 00:07:33.609
I mean, at least once a week you
00:07:33.676 --> 00:07:35.411
I mean, at least once a week you should have a meeting with
00:07:35.478 --> 00:07:36.212
I mean, at least once a week you should have a meeting with yourself and just really ask
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.348
Should have a meeting with yourself and just really ask god, "am i doing okay here?
00:07:39.415 --> 00:07:41.250
Yourself and just really ask god, "am i doing okay here? is there something you
00:07:41.317 --> 00:07:43.319
God, "am i doing okay here? is there something you need to remind me of?
00:07:43.386 --> 00:07:45.221
Is there something you need to remind me of? do i need a little
00:07:45.288 --> 00:07:46.522
Need to remind me of? do i need a little kick in the rear?"
00:07:46.589 --> 00:07:52.495
Do i need a little kick in the rear?" and see, this doesn't mean that
00:07:52.562 --> 00:07:55.431
Kick in the rear?" and see, this doesn't mean that you have to live this rigid,
00:07:55.498 --> 00:07:56.732
And see, this doesn't mean that you have to live this rigid, legalistic life where you
00:07:56.799 --> 00:07:58.601
You have to live this rigid, legalistic life where you can never do any things
00:07:58.668 --> 00:07:59.902
Legalistic life where you can never do any things or never have any fun.
00:07:59.969 --> 00:08:03.239
Can never do any things or never have any fun. but how about
00:08:03.306 --> 00:08:03.706
Or never have any fun. but how about if i throw this out?
00:08:03.773 --> 00:08:04.607
But how about if i throw this out? what if you start listening
00:08:04.674 --> 00:08:05.841
If i throw this out? what if you start listening to your conscience?
00:08:05.908 --> 00:08:10.680
What if you start listening to your conscience? that's one of the best things
00:08:10.746 --> 00:08:11.814
To your conscience? that's one of the best things that god has given us,
00:08:11.881 --> 00:08:12.882
That's one of the best things that god has given us, is a conscience.
00:08:12.949 --> 00:08:14.817
That god has given us, is a conscience. it's part of our spirit.
00:08:14.884 --> 00:08:17.987
Is a conscience. it's part of our spirit. conscience comes from there,
00:08:18.054 --> 00:08:19.789
It's part of our spirit. conscience comes from there, intuition, revelation.
00:08:19.855 --> 00:08:23.926
Conscience comes from there, intuition, revelation. see, i can sit and talk
00:08:23.993 --> 00:08:24.827
Intuition, revelation. see, i can sit and talk to your head all day,

See, i can sit and talk to your head all day, but i want it to fall from

To your head all day, but i want it to fall from your head to your spirit

But i want it to fall from your head to your spirit and become a revelation.
00:08:28.931 --> 00:08:30.499
Your head to your spirit and become a revelation. we have got so much
00:08:30.566 --> 00:08:31.634
And become a revelation. we have got so much information, but we need
00:08:31.701 --> 00:08:35.304
We have got so much information, but we need it to become revelation.
00:08:35.371 --> 00:08:36.706
Information, but we need it to become revelation. because when it's revelation,

It to become revelation. because when it's revelation, that's when you start

Get out there and-- you know, you don't really have to preach to everybody.

You know, you don't really have to preach to everybody. i forget the famous person that
00:12:01.143 --> 00:12:02.411
Have to preach to everybody. i forget the famous person that said it, but somebody said,
00:12:02.478 --> 00:12:03.512
I forget the famous person that said it, but somebody said, "preach at all times,

In a dark world? you know, i think a lot of people, they get real
00:12:10.886 --> 00:12:12.621
You know, i think a lot of people, they get real tense when somebody says,
00:12:12.688 --> 00:12:14.056
Of people, they get real tense when somebody says, "you need to witness."
00:12:14.123 --> 00:12:17.059
Tense when somebody says, "you need to witness." 'cause we automatically think
00:12:17.126 --> 00:12:17.960
"you need to witness." 'cause we automatically think that means we gotta back
00:12:18.027 --> 00:12:19.628
'cause we automatically think that means we gotta back somebody into a corner
00:12:19.695 --> 00:12:20.663
That means we gotta back somebody into a corner and preach to 'em.
00:12:20.729 --> 00:12:24.033
Somebody into a corner and preach to 'em. when i wanted to be used of god,

And preach to 'em. when i wanted to be used of god, i didn't know yet that

Anything they asked us to do at church, i tried it.
00:12:34.476 --> 00:12:35.077
Us to do at church, i tried it. and one of the first things
00:12:35.144 --> 00:12:36.779

And that doesn't make god mad for me to say that. it just--that didn't fit.

00:17:43.886 --> 00:17:45.120
It is to complain.

It is to complain. god does so much for us.
00:17:49.424 --> 00:17:53.128
It is to complain. god does so much for us. and you know,
00:17:53.195 --> 00:17:53.695
God does so much for us. and you know, part of the reason why there's
00:17:53.762 --> 00:17:55.864
And you know, part of the reason why there's so many divorces is people
00:17:55.931 --> 00:17:58.100
Part of the reason why there's so many divorces is people forget about the good stuff
00:17:58.167 --> 00:18:00.936
So many divorces is people forget about the good stuff and they laser in on the one
00:18:01.003 --> 00:18:05.174
Forget about the good stuff and they laser in on the one or two things that
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:06.441
And they laser in on the one or two things that aggravates 'em, and that's
00:18:06.508 --> 00:18:10.612
Or two things that aggravates 'em, and that's all they think about.
00:18:10.679 --> 00:18:13.515
Aggravates 'em, and that's all they think about. one time i was having a hard
00:18:13.582 --> 00:18:15.918
All they think about. one time i was having a hard time with dave over something,
00:18:15.984 --> 00:18:17.352
One time i was having a hard time with dave over something, and god put on my heart
00:18:17.419 --> 00:18:21.790
Time with dave over something, and god put on my heart to make two lists.
00:18:21.857 --> 00:18:22.758
And god put on my heart to make two lists. one, everything i liked
00:18:22.824 --> 00:18:23.992
To make two lists. one, everything i liked about him and everything
00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.826
One, everything i liked about him and everything i didn't like about him.
00:18:24.893 --> 00:18:27.963
About him and everything i didn't like about him. and the list of stuff
00:18:28.030 --> 00:18:28.964
I didn't like about him. and the list of stuff i liked was so much
00:18:29.031 --> 00:18:30.132
And the list of stuff i liked was so much longer than the list
00:18:30.199 --> 00:18:31.600
I liked was so much longer than the list of stuff that i didn't like.
00:18:31.667 --> 00:18:33.368
Longer than the list of stuff that i didn't like. and that's usually what
00:18:33.435 --> 00:18:34.169
Of stuff that i didn't like. and that's usually what it comes down to.
00:18:34.236 --> 00:18:35.170
And that's usually what it comes down to. people will get divorced over
00:18:35.237 --> 00:18:38.073
It comes down to. people will get divorced over a couple of little things that
00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:39.408
People will get divorced over a couple of little things that they don't like and forget
00:18:39.474 --> 00:18:41.109
A couple of little things that they don't like and forget about all the things that
00:18:41.176 --> 00:18:42.277
They don't like and forget about all the things that you love about 'em.
00:18:42.344 --> 00:18:44.112
The bible says that "love
00:18:46.982 --> 00:18:47.816
The bible says that "love covers a multitude of sins."
00:18:47.883 --> 00:18:49.818
