>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: so, what about strife? what is strife?
00:01:12.462 --> 00:01:14.564
>> joyce: so, what about strife? what is strife? strife is bickering, arguing,
00:01:14.631 --> 00:01:16.399
What is strife? strife is bickering, arguing, heated disagreement,
00:01:16.466 --> 00:01:17.700
Strife is bickering, arguing, heated disagreement, and an angry undercurrent.
00:01:17.767 --> 00:01:21.204
Bickering, arguing, heated
00:01:21.704 --> 00:01:26.509
Bickering, arguing, heated disagreement, and an angry
00:01:26.576 --> 00:01:29.512
Bickering, arguing, heated disagreement, and an angry undercurrent.
00:01:29.579 --> 00:01:30.180
Disagreement, and an angry undercurrent. and i think the angry
00:01:30.246 --> 00:01:31.581
Undercurrent. and i think the angry undercurrent is the most
00:01:31.648 --> 00:01:32.916
And i think the angry undercurrent is the most dangerous because that's when
00:01:32.982 --> 00:01:35.618
Undercurrent is the most dangerous because that's when everybody kind of senses that
00:01:35.685 --> 00:01:37.921
Dangerous because that's when everybody kind of senses that something not good is going
00:01:37.987 --> 00:01:40.256
Everybody kind of senses that something not good is going on behind the scenes,
00:01:40.323 --> 00:01:45.061
Something not good is going on behind the scenes, but everybody's still smiling
00:01:45.128 --> 00:01:46.329
On behind the scenes, but everybody's still smiling at each other saying--
00:01:46.396 --> 00:01:49.132
But everybody's still smiling at each other saying-- especially in church,
00:01:49.199 --> 00:01:49.933
At each other saying-- especially in church, "praise the lord."
00:01:49.999 --> 00:01:50.900
Especially in church, "praise the lord." >> [audience applauding]

>> joyce: now, i actually have a real concern because there are so many
00:01:59.175 --> 00:01:59.943
Have a real concern because there are so many people in the body of christ
00:02:00.009 --> 00:02:03.246
Because there are so many people in the body of christ that are mad at somebody.
00:02:03.313 --> 00:02:07.217

I asked how many of them-- i did a little exhortation on it first, and i asked,

I did a little exhortation on it first, and i asked, "how many of you have
00:02:31.941 --> 00:02:34.377
On it first, and i asked, "how many of you have somebody in your life
00:02:34.444 --> 00:02:35.945
"how many of you have somebody in your life that you need to forgive?
00:02:36.012 --> 00:02:39.148
Somebody in your life that you need to forgive? will you stand up?"
00:02:39.215 --> 00:02:40.183
That you need to forgive? will you stand up?" and i was shocked.

Ninety percent of the 16,000 stood up. and if you were there,
00:02:44.087 --> 00:02:45.288
Of the 16,000 stood up. and if you were there, you saw it.
00:02:45.355 --> 00:02:47.123
And if you were there, you saw it. now, what are we gonna do--?

You saw it. now, what are we gonna do--? i mean, we're living
00:02:53.229 --> 00:02:53.930
Now, what are we gonna do--? i mean, we're living in very dangerous times.
00:02:53.997 --> 00:02:57.767
What are we gonna do
00:02:58.368 --> 00:03:00.370
What are we gonna do if we don't make a decision
00:03:00.436 --> 00:03:01.804
What are we gonna do if we don't make a decision that we're gonna stop it?
00:03:01.871 --> 00:03:05.642
If we don't make a decision that we're gonna stop it? jesus said, "i've left
00:03:05.708 --> 00:03:06.609
That we're gonna stop it? jesus said, "i've left you my peace.
00:03:06.676 --> 00:03:07.310
Jesus said, "i've left you my peace. now, you stop allowing
00:03:07.377 --> 00:03:08.745
You my peace. now, you stop allowing yourselves to get
00:03:08.811 --> 00:03:09.579
Now, you stop allowing yourselves to get upset and disturbed.
00:03:09.646 --> 00:03:10.980
Yourselves to get upset and disturbed. stop allowing yourselves
00:03:11.047 --> 00:03:12.482
Upset and disturbed. stop allowing yourselves to be fearful and intimidated."
00:03:12.548 --> 00:03:14.550
Stop allowing yourselves to be fearful and intimidated." i wanna be the kind of person
00:03:14.617 --> 00:03:16.152
To be fearful and intimidated." i wanna be the kind of person that before you get finished
00:03:16.219 --> 00:03:17.320
I wanna be the kind of person that before you get finished offending me, i've already
00:03:17.387 --> 00:03:18.588
That before you get finished offending me, i've already decided to forgive you.
00:03:18.655 --> 00:03:19.589
Offending me, i've already decided to forgive you. >> [audience applauding]
00:03:19.656 --> 00:03:25.328
Decided to forgive you. >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: and the only way that
00:03:25.395 --> 00:03:26.429
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: and the only way that can happen is yes, through
00:03:26.496 --> 00:03:27.497
>> joyce: and the only way that can happen is yes, through prayer, but also through
00:03:27.563 --> 00:03:30.767
Can happen is yes, through prayer, but also through special study.
00:03:30.833 --> 00:03:32.902
Prayer, but also through special study. you need to be familiar with
00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:34.437
Special study. you need to be familiar with every scripture in the bible
00:03:34.504 --> 00:03:36.839
You need to be familiar with every scripture in the bible that talks about anger.
00:03:36.906 --> 00:03:38.675
Every scripture in the bible that talks about anger. anger does not promote
00:03:38.741 --> 00:03:39.842
That talks about anger. anger does not promote the righteousness
00:03:39.909 --> 00:03:40.710
Anger does not promote the righteousness that god desires.
00:03:40.777 --> 00:03:41.678
The righteousness that god desires. you need to be familiar
00:03:41.744 --> 00:03:42.979
That god desires. you need to be familiar with mark 11 that says,
00:03:43.046 --> 00:03:46.149
You need to be familiar with mark 11 that says, "faith can move mountains."
00:03:46.215 --> 00:03:47.617
With mark 11 that says, "faith can move mountains." you can say to that mountain,
00:03:47.684 --> 00:03:48.651
"faith can move mountains." you can say to that mountain, "move" and it'll have to move.
00:03:48.718 --> 00:03:50.953
You can say to that mountain, "move" and it'll have to move. "whatever you pray for,
00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:53.389
"move" and it'll have to move. "whatever you pray for, believe that you receive it,
00:03:53.456 --> 00:03:54.657
"whatever you pray for, believe that you receive it, and you will get it."
00:03:54.724 --> 00:03:55.792
Believe that you receive it, and you will get it." it doesn't say when,
00:03:55.858 --> 00:03:57.060
And you will get it." it doesn't say when, but it says you'll get it.
00:03:57.126 --> 00:04:00.129
It doesn't say when, but it says you'll get it. and there's a waiting time,
00:04:00.196 --> 00:04:01.464
But it says you'll get it. and there's a waiting time, and that's the testing time.
00:04:01.531 --> 00:04:04.767
And there's a waiting time, and that's the testing time. and then it says, "and if you
00:04:04.834 --> 00:04:06.202
And that's the testing time. and then it says, "and if you have anything against anyone,
00:04:06.269 --> 00:04:09.906
And then it says, "and if you have anything against anyone, anything against anyone,
00:04:09.972 --> 00:04:12.775
Have anything against anyone, anything against anyone, forgive them, leave it,
00:04:12.842 --> 00:04:14.243
Anything against anyone, forgive them, leave it, let it go, drop it."
00:04:14.310 --> 00:04:18.314
Forgive them, leave it, let it go, drop it." >> [audience applauding]
00:04:18.381 --> 00:04:18.881
Let it go, drop it." >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: "because if you don't
00:04:18.948 --> 00:04:20.016
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: "because if you don't forgive, neither will your
00:04:20.083 --> 00:04:21.284
>> joyce: "because if you don't forgive, neither will your heavenly father forgive you."
00:04:21.351 --> 00:04:24.020
Forgive, neither will your heavenly father forgive you." now that--
00:04:24.087 --> 00:04:26.489
Heavenly father forgive you." now that-- i mean, if we're really
00:04:26.556 --> 00:04:27.590
Now that-- i mean, if we're really gonna believe the bible,
00:04:27.657 --> 00:04:29.125
I mean, if we're really gonna believe the bible, then we can't just pull
00:04:29.192 --> 00:04:30.126
Gonna believe the bible, then we can't just pull out the "i'll bless you
00:04:30.193 --> 00:04:31.160
Then we can't just pull out the "i'll bless you and prosper you" ones.
00:04:31.227 --> 00:04:32.995
Out the "i'll bless you and prosper you" ones. we can't just keep only wanting
00:04:33.062 --> 00:04:35.498
And prosper you" ones. we can't just keep only wanting to hear "god loves you.
00:04:35.565 --> 00:04:37.700
We can't just keep only wanting to hear "god loves you. he forgives you.
00:04:37.767 --> 00:04:40.403
To hear "god loves you. he forgives you. you're precious.
00:04:40.470 --> 00:04:41.504
He forgives you. you're precious. you're created with his hand.
00:04:41.571 --> 00:04:43.873
You're precious. you're created with his hand. he's got an awesome future
00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:45.041
You're created with his hand. he's got an awesome future planned for you."
00:04:45.108 --> 00:04:46.042
He's got an awesome future planned for you." all of that's true,
00:04:46.109 --> 00:04:46.809
Planned for you." all of that's true, and we need to hear all that.
00:04:46.876 --> 00:04:48.144
All of that's true, and we need to hear all that. but we also need to hear some
00:04:48.211 --> 00:04:50.079
And we need to hear all that. but we also need to hear some of these other things
00:04:50.146 --> 00:04:54.917
But we also need to hear some of these other things because the bible says,
00:04:54.984 --> 00:04:59.389
1 corinthians 1:9-11,
00:05:04.761 --> 00:05:08.331
1 corinthians 1:9-11, "god is faithful
00:05:08.398 --> 00:05:09.932
1 corinthians 1:9-11, "god is faithful (reliable, trustworthy,
00:05:09.999 --> 00:05:13.736
"god is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true
00:05:13.803 --> 00:05:15.238
(reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to his promise, and he can
00:05:15.304 --> 00:05:17.140
And therefore ever true to his promise, and he can be depended on)."
00:05:17.206 --> 00:05:18.641
To his promise, and he can be depended on)." boy, how many of you
00:05:18.708 --> 00:05:19.409
Be depended on)." boy, how many of you are glad about that?
00:05:19.475 --> 00:05:21.978
Boy, how many of you are glad about that? he's faithful.
00:05:22.044 --> 00:05:22.912
Are glad about that? he's faithful. you can depend on him.
00:05:22.979 --> 00:05:25.014
He's faithful. you can depend on him. he's always gonna keep his word.
00:05:25.081 --> 00:05:27.950
You can depend on him. he's always gonna keep his word. verse 10, "but--"
00:05:28.017 --> 00:05:29.819
He's always gonna keep his word. verse 10, "but--" [chuckling]
00:05:29.886 --> 00:05:33.623

And foolish controversies and genealogies and dissensions and wrangling--"
00:09:47.543 --> 00:09:48.878
And genealogies and dissensions and wrangling--" which is strife,

Unprofitable and futile." now, these are new testament christians that had at one

Now, these are new testament christians that had at one time lived under the law,
00:09:56.419 --> 00:09:59.355
Christians that had at one time lived under the law, and so they spent a lot of time
00:09:59.422 --> 00:10:01.957
Time lived under the law, and so they spent a lot of time arguing about the difference
00:10:02.024 --> 00:10:05.127
And so they spent a lot of time arguing about the difference between law and grace.
00:10:05.194 --> 00:10:07.229
Arguing about the difference between law and grace. i think we still kind of have
00:10:07.296 --> 00:10:08.364
Between law and grace. i think we still kind of have that argument today sometimes.
00:10:08.431 --> 00:10:12.468
I think we still kind of have that argument today sometimes. so, he said, "stop arguing

That argument today sometimes. so, he said, "stop arguing about stupid stuff that doesn't

So, he said, "stop arguing about stupid stuff that doesn't make any sense."

About stupid stuff that doesn't make any sense." verse 10, "[as for] the man--"

Now, you know what we would say today? "well, that's not being loving."
00:10:47.870 --> 00:10:54.777
There was another man
00:10:54.844 --> 00:10:55.711
There was another man that paul talked about who
00:10:55.778 --> 00:10:57.012
There was another man that paul talked about who was had committed incest
00:10:57.079 --> 00:10:58.881
That paul talked about who was had committed incest and he was not repentant.
00:10:58.948 --> 00:11:01.383
Was had committed incest and he was not repentant. if a person's repentant
00:11:01.450 --> 00:11:02.485
And he was not repentant. if a person's repentant and willing to change,
00:11:02.551 --> 00:11:03.719
If a person's repentant and willing to change, then i believe god wants
00:11:03.786 --> 00:11:04.854
And willing to change, then i believe god wants us to go to the mat with them
00:11:04.920 --> 00:11:06.288
Then i believe god wants us to go to the mat with them and work with them forever.
00:11:06.355 --> 00:11:09.158
Us to go to the mat with them and work with them forever. but if they're not repentant
00:11:09.225 --> 00:11:10.993
And work with them forever. but if they're not repentant and they're not gonna change,
00:11:11.060 --> 00:11:12.828
But if they're not repentant and they're not gonna change, and we let 'em just sit
00:11:12.895 --> 00:11:14.463
And they're not gonna change, and we let 'em just sit in our midst--

Maybe i got the wrong crowd for this. i don't know.

Crowd for this. i don't know. >> [audience applauding]
00:11:25.341 --> 00:11:29.111

>> joyce: you know what paul said about that man? he said, "put him
00:11:34.884 --> 00:11:36.519

00:11:36.585 --> 00:11:37.553
He said, "put him out of the church, turn him over to the devil."
00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:41.524
Out of the church, turn him over to the devil." but that's not all he said.
00:11:41.590 --> 00:11:42.424
Turn him over to the devil." but that's not all he said. he said, "so that perhaps
00:11:42.491 --> 00:11:45.494
But that's not all he said. he said, "so that perhaps his soul might be saved,
00:11:45.561 --> 00:11:48.664
He said, "so that perhaps his soul might be saved, and he won't end up in hell."
00:11:48.731 --> 00:11:52.835
So, if i understand paul
00:11:52.902 --> 00:11:55.037
So, if i understand paul correctly, the church was
00:11:55.104 --> 00:11:57.673
So, if i understand paul correctly, the church was such a holy and an awesome
00:11:57.740 --> 00:12:00.342
Correctly, the church was such a holy and an awesome and a powerful place that

Of a conversation that's getting ready to go in the wrong

That's getting ready to go in the wrong direction, at least,
00:19:48.343 --> 00:19:50.846

About saying, "i think i'm right, but i may be wrong"?
00:20:12.768 --> 00:20:15.637

I mean, could you just open your mind to the possibility that you might be wrong?

00:20:33.989 --> 00:20:36.124
Things like, we'd be going somewhere and maybe there were two ways to get there.
00:20:36.191 --> 00:20:39.428
Somewhere and maybe there were two ways to get there. and he'd go to the entrance
00:20:39.494 --> 00:20:40.495
Were two ways to get there. and he'd go to the entrance of the subdivision
00:20:40.562 --> 00:20:41.063
And he'd go to the entrance of the subdivision and turn right,
00:20:41.129 --> 00:20:41.596
Of the subdivision and turn right, and i'd say, "whaddya goin'

And turn right, and i'd say, "whaddya goin' that way for?

And there's so many more important things to be doing than that.
