"give yourself to humble tasks." so, it's like something we have to do on purpose.
00:05:15.438 --> 00:05:16.439
So, it's like something we have to do on purpose. we give ourselves

Use my hand lotion. well, my purse is like a bottomless pit,

A bottomless pit, and so i didn't feel like looking for that hand lotion,

00:10:52.541 --> 00:10:54.910
To get into pride. that's why the more you have, the more you need to give.
00:10:54.977 --> 00:10:57.747
That's why the more you have, the more you need to give. and the more powerful you are,
00:10:57.813 --> 00:11:00.483
The more you need to give. and the more powerful you are, the better you need
00:11:00.549 --> 00:11:01.383
And the more powerful you are, the better you need to treat other people.
00:11:01.450 --> 00:11:02.585
The better you need to treat other people. >> [audience applauding]

And i'll say it again. there's nothing to me that's more
00:11:10.092 --> 00:11:10.693
There's nothing to me that's more nauseating than a preacher
00:11:10.760 --> 00:11:14.930
To me that's more nauseating than a preacher who stands in front
00:11:14.997 --> 00:11:15.898
Nauseating than a preacher who stands in front of people and they're all
00:11:15.965 --> 00:11:18.534
Who stands in front of people and they're all sitting out there admiring
00:11:18.601 --> 00:11:19.835
Of people and they're all sitting out there admiring him, but behind the scenes
00:11:19.902 --> 00:11:21.670
Sitting out there admiring him, but behind the scenes he mistreats people.
00:11:21.737 --> 00:11:24.807
Him, but behind the scenes he mistreats people. and i've seen it.
00:11:24.874 --> 00:11:26.275
He mistreats people. and i've seen it. i've been in many churches,

And i've seen it. i've been in many churches, and i've seen it.

And i've seen it. i've seen people in these positions of power talk down
00:11:30.513 --> 00:11:32.281
I've seen people in these positions of power talk down to people that work for them,
00:11:32.348 --> 00:11:33.916
Positions of power talk down to people that work for them, talk to 'em like they
00:11:33.983 --> 00:11:34.750
To people that work for them, talk to 'em like they don't have any sense,

Talk to 'em like they don't have any sense, not show any appreciation,
00:11:36.085 --> 00:11:37.820
Don't have any sense, not show any appreciation, and i absolutely hate it.

Not show any appreciation, and i absolutely hate it. and eventually those

Be good to people, especially people that maybe would be seen as unimportant.

People that maybe would be seen as unimportant. i know i said this last night,

Make a habit out of talking to people when you're out
00:12:07.817 --> 00:12:08.951
Make a habit out of talking to people when you're out and about that, like when you
00:12:09.018 --> 00:12:11.453
To people when you're out and about that, like when you go in a restroom in a department
00:12:11.520 --> 00:12:12.988
Store and somebody's in there

With their cleaning cart cleaning the restroom, don't ignore them.

Cleaning the restroom, don't ignore them. say hello.
00:12:20.896 --> 00:12:21.530
Don't ignore them. say hello. "how are you today?
00:12:21.597 --> 00:12:23.432
Say hello. "how are you today? thank you for doing this job,"
00:12:23.499 --> 00:12:25.534
"how are you today? thank you for doing this job," because people like that
00:12:25.601 --> 00:12:26.569
Thank you for doing this job," because people like that get very little appreciation.
00:12:26.635 --> 00:12:28.204
Because people like that get very little appreciation. and the bible says--
00:12:28.270 --> 00:12:30.873
Get very little appreciation. and the bible says-- >> [audience applauding]

My goodness! think about that. jesus is saying, "however

Think about that. jesus is saying, "however you treat people,

Jesus is saying, "however you treat people, that's how you're treating me."
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.663
You treat people, that's how you're treating me." i read a story about
00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:56.565
That's how you're treating me." i read a story about a man who'd worked
00:12:56.632 --> 00:12:57.433
I read a story about a man who'd worked at a place for 31 years
00:12:57.499 --> 00:13:00.169
A man who'd worked at a place for 31 years and he was the janitor.
00:13:00.236 --> 00:13:02.004
At a place for 31 years and he was the janitor. he cleaned the building.
00:13:02.071 --> 00:13:03.172
And he was the janitor. he cleaned the building. and not one time in 31 years
00:13:03.239 --> 00:13:06.642
He cleaned the building. and not one time in 31 years had anybody ever thanked him.
00:13:06.709 --> 00:13:10.546
And not one time in 31 years had anybody ever thanked him. the owners of the company
00:13:10.613 --> 00:13:11.480
Had anybody ever thanked him. the owners of the company had never thanked him,
00:13:11.547 --> 00:13:12.681
The owners of the company had never thanked him, and he just was,
00:13:12.748 --> 00:13:14.850
Had never thanked him, and he just was, you know, worn out.
00:13:14.917 --> 00:13:15.818
And he just was, you know, worn out. i mean, people--
00:13:15.885 --> 00:13:21.523
You know, worn out. i mean, people-- it takes their strength.
00:13:21.590 --> 00:13:22.958
I mean, people-- it takes their strength. it takes their desire
00:13:23.025 --> 00:13:24.226
It takes their strength. it takes their desire to want to--
00:13:24.293 --> 00:13:25.828
It takes their desire to want to-- it hurts people when
00:13:25.895 --> 00:13:27.162
To want to-- it hurts people when nobody ever shows them
00:13:27.229 --> 00:13:28.764
It hurts people when nobody ever shows them appreciation for what they do.
00:13:28.831 --> 00:13:31.634
And so he had his letter
00:13:32.601 --> 00:13:33.569
And so he had his letter of resignation written
00:13:33.636 --> 00:13:35.104
And so he had his letter of resignation written and was gonna turn it in,

And it went to his head. well, what about the fall of man?

Well, what about the fall of man? you know, the same thing

The fall of man? you know, the same thing really happened to eve.

I don't have time to go

I don't have time to go through this whole thing,
00:14:45.841 --> 00:14:46.442
I don't have time to go through this whole thing, but satan said to her,
00:14:46.508 --> 00:14:48.777
Through this whole thing, but satan said to her, "did god really say to you?"

All these things they could do, but this one thing they couldn't do.

Anything that god asks us to give up, it's something that's hurting us anyway, see?
00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:40.863
And so, then he said to eve,

Allowing things in our life that hurt us a little bit, but he intends to bring
00:17:05.614 --> 00:17:09.651
Life that hurt us a little bit, but he intends to bring something out of us that's
00:17:09.718 --> 00:17:10.919
Bit, but he intends to bring something out of us that's actually hurting us worse.
00:17:10.986 --> 00:17:13.455
You know, in james 1:13-15
00:17:14.089 --> 00:17:15.824
You know, in james 1:13-15 it says, "let nobody say,
00:17:15.891 --> 00:17:16.859
You know, in james 1:13-15 it says, "let nobody say, when he's tempted,
00:17:16.925 --> 00:17:17.559
It says, "let nobody say, when he's tempted, 'i'm tempted from god,'
00:17:17.626 --> 00:17:18.594
When he's tempted, 'i'm tempted from god,' for god is incapable
00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:19.962
'i'm tempted from god,' for god is incapable of being tempted by evil.
00:17:20.028 --> 00:17:25.100
For god is incapable of being tempted by evil. but every person is tempted
00:17:25.167 --> 00:17:26.535
Of being tempted by evil. but every person is tempted when he's drawn away, enticed,
00:17:26.602 --> 00:17:28.036
But every person is tempted when he's drawn away, enticed, and baited by his own evil
00:17:28.103 --> 00:17:29.738
When he's drawn away, enticed, and baited by his own evil desire and (passions)."

And baited by his own evil desire and (passions)." do you know, i'm never
00:17:34.676 --> 00:17:37.112
Desire and (passions)." do you know, i'm never tempted to rob a bank?
00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:41.083
Do you know, i'm never tempted to rob a bank? that's not anything
00:17:41.150 --> 00:17:41.884
Tempted to rob a bank? that's not anything that even enters my mind.
00:17:41.950 --> 00:17:44.119
That's not anything that even enters my mind. but i am tempted to be jealous
00:17:44.186 --> 00:17:47.523
That even enters my mind. but i am tempted to be jealous or tempted not to forgive
00:17:47.589 --> 00:17:49.024
But i am tempted to be jealous or tempted not to forgive or tempted to take revenge.
00:17:49.091 --> 00:17:53.428
Or tempted not to forgive or tempted to take revenge. and god goes after the things
00:17:53.495 --> 00:17:55.097
Or tempted to take revenge. and god goes after the things that are weaknesses for

And god goes after the things that are weaknesses for us because he wants us to admit
00:17:56.398 --> 00:17:59.268
That are weaknesses for us because he wants us to admit their weaknesses so we can
00:17:59.334 --> 00:18:01.103
Us because he wants us to admit their weaknesses so we can lean on him for the strength
00:18:01.170 --> 00:18:03.972
Their weaknesses so we can lean on him for the strength that we need in those areas.
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:06.208
Lean on him for the strength that we need in those areas. so, one time i had something

That we need in those areas. so, one time i had something happen that taught me a lesson.
00:18:08.644 --> 00:18:11.313
So, one time i had something happen that taught me a lesson. i was believing god for

Out of scripture. the mission is rooted
00:25:34.522 --> 00:25:35.423
The mission is rooted in is 2 corinthians 8:21,
00:25:35.490 --> 00:25:37.993
In is 2 corinthians 8:21, which says, "for we are
00:25:38.059 --> 00:25:39.928
Which says, "for we are taking great pains
00:25:39.995 --> 00:25:40.929
Taking great pains to do what is right,
00:25:40.996 --> 00:25:43.331
To do what is right, not only in the eyes of god,

Not only in the eyes of god, but also, in the eyes of man."

But also, in the eyes of man." and that's really what
00:25:47.168 --> 00:25:48.269
And that's really what ecfa is all about,
00:25:48.336 --> 00:25:49.504
Ecfa is all about, is to help set those high
00:25:49.571 --> 00:25:50.772

Each year, all of those ministries who are
00:25:59.080 --> 00:25:59.681
Ministries who are accredited by ecfa have
00:25:59.748 --> 00:26:01.216
Accredited by ecfa have to go through an annual
00:26:01.282 --> 00:26:02.951
