The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Pure Sex | April 16, 2026
- Time away.
- 00:00:01.724 --> 00:00:04.661
- Yeah.
- 00:00:04.661 --> 00:00:06.296
- Cut out everything else.
- 00:00:06.296 --> 00:00:08.131
- Shut off computers and phones and activities
- 00:00:08.131 --> 00:00:11.501
- And times away with a husband and a wife.
- 00:00:11.501 --> 00:00:14.170
- Doesn't matter where you go, how you go.
- 00:00:14.170 --> 00:00:16.072
- Shut the door.
- 00:00:16.072 --> 00:00:16.806
- Get away!
- 00:00:16.806 --> 00:00:17.841
- Time away.
- 00:00:17.841 --> 00:00:20.610
- We're talking about sexual intimacy.
- 00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:22.912
- We're talking about a relationship
- 00:00:22.912 --> 00:00:24.581
- That is growing and developing sweeter and better.
- 00:00:24.581 --> 00:00:28.017
- Year by year.
- 00:00:28.017 --> 00:00:29.252
- By year by year.
- 00:00:29.252 --> 00:00:49.672
- What's the first command
- 00:00:50.206 --> 00:00:52.942
- God gave to human beings
- 00:00:53.476 --> 00:00:57.080
- In all of history?
- 00:00:57.514 --> 00:00:59.549
- What's the first command?
- 00:00:59.549 --> 00:01:01.284
- I'm going to read it to you.
- 00:01:01.284 --> 00:01:03.319
- Genesis chapter number one,
- 00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:06.256
- Verse 2728.
- 00:01:06.256 --> 00:01:09.592
- So god created man in his own image
- 00:01:10.326 --> 00:01:14.164
- And the image of god.
- 00:01:14.664 --> 00:01:16.099
- He created him male and female.
- 00:01:16.099 --> 00:01:19.936
- He created them.
- 00:01:19.936 --> 00:01:22.038
- Then god blessed them and said to them,
- 00:01:22.038 --> 00:01:24.974
- Have sex.
- 00:01:24.974 --> 00:01:28.811
- That's not in your translation.
- 00:01:29.445 --> 00:01:33.249
- You never read that before.
- 00:01:33.850 --> 00:01:37.020
- The first command god
- 00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:39.022
- Gave to human beings
- 00:01:39.022 --> 00:01:42.025
- Was to have sex,
- 00:01:42.025 --> 00:01:44.794
- Be fruitful,
- 00:01:45.128 --> 00:01:47.297
- And multiply.
- 00:01:47.297 --> 00:01:49.699
- Have sex.
- 00:01:49.699 --> 00:01:52.368
- And then in chapter
- 00:01:52.368 --> 00:01:53.536
- Number two, god performed
- 00:01:53.536 --> 00:01:56.272
- The first marriage ceremony
- 00:01:56.272 --> 00:01:59.609
- So that adam and eve
- 00:01:59.609 --> 00:02:02.445
- Would be in covenant with him and with one another.
- 00:02:02.445 --> 00:02:05.615
- We know the formula.
- 00:02:05.615 --> 00:02:07.951
- Leave, cleave one flesh.
- 00:02:07.951 --> 00:02:11.588
- You are, as we say, but naked.
- 00:02:11.588 --> 00:02:17.360
- With no shame.
- 00:02:17.694 --> 00:02:20.463
- Oh, you see, prudes
- 00:02:20.463 --> 00:02:24.234
- Do not like the bible.
- 00:02:24.701 --> 00:02:27.704
- The bible is very clear about human sexuality.
- 00:02:27.704 --> 00:02:32.041
- It is very open.
- 00:02:32.442 --> 00:02:33.576
- It is very plain.
- 00:02:33.576 --> 00:02:35.178
- It is very, very vivid.
- 00:02:35.178 --> 00:02:38.147
- And so we in our culture somehow
- 00:02:38.848 --> 00:02:41.618
- Have got this all confused because had you noticed
- 00:02:41.618 --> 00:02:45.121
- Something happen
- 00:02:45.121 --> 00:02:47.957
- In american culture on the way to the 21st century,
- 00:02:47.957 --> 00:02:51.160
- Did you notice it?
- 00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:53.229
- One of the main things is
- 00:02:53.796 --> 00:02:55.765
- A total misunderstanding of human sexuality.
- 00:02:55.765 --> 00:03:01.838
- Guess what?
- 00:03:02.171 --> 00:03:03.873
- As i recently read, they're not
- 00:03:03.873 --> 00:03:06.175
- 71 different genders.
- 00:03:06.175 --> 00:03:09.012
- Oh, yes.
- 00:03:09.012 --> 00:03:11.347
- There's only two.
- 00:03:11.347 --> 00:03:17.887
- And so we turn.
- 00:03:18.254 --> 00:03:20.390
- To the scripture to understand
- 00:03:20.390 --> 00:03:23.393
- This wonderful, beautiful, sacred gift
- 00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:28.231
- Of sex and sexuality.
- 00:03:28.731 --> 00:03:32.068
- God invented sex.
- 00:03:32.502 --> 00:03:34.804
- He gave it to us.
- 00:03:34.804 --> 00:03:37.040
- It is magnificent.
- 00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:38.508
- It is glorious.
- 00:03:38.508 --> 00:03:41.110
- And we need to understand this gift as we need
- 00:03:41.110 --> 00:03:45.882
- To understand all of his gifts
- 00:03:45.882 --> 00:03:48.618
- In the context of the church.
- 00:03:48.618 --> 00:03:52.055
- We made a serious mistake with our young people.
- 00:03:52.055 --> 00:03:54.857
- A tragic mistake with our young people.
- 00:03:55.658 --> 00:03:58.728
- We brought them up in a church and many times
- 00:03:58.728 --> 00:04:01.464
- With christian parents.
- 00:04:01.464 --> 00:04:03.166
- We talk to them about being pure and celibate
- 00:04:03.166 --> 00:04:07.103
- Before they get married,
- 00:04:07.103 --> 00:04:10.273
- And they accept that by and large,
- 00:04:10.273 --> 00:04:13.543
- They abstain.
- 00:04:13.910 --> 00:04:15.078
- By and large.
- 00:04:15.078 --> 00:04:17.180
- And then we spend 50 or $75,000 a year
- 00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:20.950
- And send in some college or university.
- 00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:24.721
- And while their their sex is
- 00:04:25.321 --> 00:04:27.657
- So dominant and sex is so accepted.
- 00:04:27.657 --> 00:04:30.460
- You think that something's wrong with you
- 00:04:30.460 --> 00:04:32.362
- If you have not had sex with the opposite sex?
- 00:04:32.362 --> 00:04:35.631
- And therefore they say, you know,
- 00:04:36.366 --> 00:04:39.736
- The bible was wrong.
- 00:04:40.203 --> 00:04:41.604
- Evidently, as i was taught, as my father and mother tried
- 00:04:41.604 --> 00:04:45.108
- To teach me about sex.
- 00:04:45.108 --> 00:04:46.509
- And it is a wonderful, fabulous thing.
- 00:04:46.509 --> 00:04:49.045
- And then they have to go and listen into a sacred
- 00:04:49.045 --> 00:04:53.850
- In the classroom and say, anthropology.
- 00:04:53.850 --> 00:04:57.420
- And the professor said, well, there's no way
- 00:04:58.321 --> 00:05:00.957
- They could be a god of love because of all the suffering.
- 00:05:00.957 --> 00:05:04.427
- And they say, oh, that's it.
- 00:05:04.427 --> 00:05:07.296
- When our kids no longer believe in god in church,
- 00:05:08.297 --> 00:05:11.567
- The way they were brought up to believe in god, in church,
- 00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:14.404
- We say, well, they're mixed up in their mind.
- 00:05:14.404 --> 00:05:16.639
- No. first of all, it came, that came sexual promiscuity.
- 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:21.277
- And then there was the theological problem.
- 00:05:21.277 --> 00:05:23.679
- I've got to get away.
- 00:05:23.679 --> 00:05:24.647
- The bible and that which i'm taught.
- 00:05:24.647 --> 00:05:27.950
- Aldous huxley, brilliant scholar.
- 00:05:28.651 --> 00:05:31.521
- Theologian.
- 00:05:31.521 --> 00:05:32.388
- He's very honest about it.
- 00:05:32.388 --> 00:05:34.624
- He said i had to come to a posture that there is no god,
- 00:05:34.624 --> 00:05:38.428
- Because if there were a god, it would interfere
- 00:05:38.428 --> 00:05:41.264
- With my expression of my sexual life.
- 00:05:41.264 --> 00:05:45.535
- So this is where we are.
- 00:05:46.068 --> 00:05:48.704
- We have lost the purpose of sex and what sex is for.
- 00:05:48.704 --> 00:05:52.775
- Sex is given to human beings
- 00:05:52.775 --> 00:05:55.511
- To be exercise gloriously,
- 00:05:55.511 --> 00:05:58.781
- Creatively, dynamically
- 00:05:59.282 --> 00:06:02.518
- In the context of marriage.
- 00:06:02.518 --> 00:06:05.421
- Someone says, well, you know, sex is just like
- 00:06:06.389 --> 00:06:08.691
- A drive for food.
- 00:06:08.691 --> 00:06:09.725
- No, it's not
- 00:06:09.725 --> 00:06:11.627
- A drive for food has to have some parameters.
- 00:06:11.627 --> 00:06:14.530
- If we would eat and eat and eat and eat,
- 00:06:15.364 --> 00:06:17.767
- All of us would weigh 600 pounds and come forward.
- 00:06:17.767 --> 00:06:20.870
- I signed your death certificate.
- 00:06:20.870 --> 00:06:23.940
- Food has to have parameter
- 00:06:23.940 --> 00:06:26.209
- Sex more than food has to have parameters.
- 00:06:26.209 --> 00:06:29.645
- And the parameters for the expression of sex
- 00:06:29.645 --> 00:06:32.782
- Is within the sanctity
- 00:06:32.782 --> 00:06:36.319
- And the holiness of marriage.
- 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.156
- And then there's celebration.
- 00:06:40.790 --> 00:06:43.693
- What is the purpose of marriage?
- 00:06:43.693 --> 00:06:47.029
- Procreation.
- 00:06:47.363 --> 00:06:48.598
- We got that. have children.
- 00:06:48.598 --> 00:06:51.634
- Have children.
- 00:06:51.968 --> 00:06:53.703
- Number two, it is for pleasure.
- 00:06:53.703 --> 00:06:57.139
- Now, some of our church fathers got confused at this point,
- 00:06:57.139 --> 00:07:00.810
- Namely augustine.
- 00:07:01.244 --> 00:07:04.780
- Namely aquinas.
- 00:07:05.147 --> 00:07:07.517
- But he's also for pleasure.
- 00:07:07.517 --> 00:07:09.285
- I'll debate that.
- 00:07:09.285 --> 00:07:10.253
- That's pretty clear, isn't it?
- 00:07:10.253 --> 00:07:12.221
- Also, it is a a symbol,
- 00:07:12.221 --> 00:07:15.224
- A reenactment of the covenant.
- 00:07:15.224 --> 00:07:18.127
- If you're a christian that we have with god
- 00:07:18.127 --> 00:07:20.396
- And jesus christ, read the bible and all
- 00:07:20.396 --> 00:07:23.866
- The covenants are restated, restated, restated.
- 00:07:23.866 --> 00:07:27.069
- The covenant god has.
- 00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:28.204
- Abraham is stated over and over and over again.
- 00:07:28.204 --> 00:07:31.841
- The government, isaac and jacob.
- 00:07:31.841 --> 00:07:33.209
- All the covenants in the bible are restated
- 00:07:33.209 --> 00:07:36.045
- And restated to remind us
- 00:07:36.045 --> 00:07:39.248
- Of the relationship and the promises of god.
- 00:07:39.248 --> 00:07:42.919
- Every time a married couple has sex together,
- 00:07:42.919 --> 00:07:46.522
- They are restating and re establishing the covenant.
- 00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:50.927
- They have with god in christ.
- 00:07:50.927 --> 00:07:53.162
- It is a sacred covenant.
- 00:07:53.696 --> 00:07:55.231
- A man
- 00:07:55.231 --> 00:07:56.699
- Just like we go to the lord's table.
- 00:07:56.699 --> 00:07:58.935
- The bread and the wine. the cup.
- 00:07:58.935 --> 00:08:01.470
- It is a restatement of
- 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:04.640
- The covenant we have with god in jesus christ,
- 00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:07.510
- In our personal salvation
- 00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:09.312
- And his lordship over your life, in my life.
- 00:08:09.312 --> 00:08:12.214
- So it is with sexual intimacy.
- 00:08:12.214 --> 00:08:14.884
- You see how fabulous
- 00:08:14.884 --> 00:08:18.054
- This relationship is?
- 00:08:18.554 --> 00:08:21.223
- And we have totally got it
- 00:08:21.223 --> 00:08:23.359
- Confused on one extreme.
- 00:08:23.359 --> 00:08:26.529
- There is the playboy philosophy of anything goes.
- 00:08:26.529 --> 00:08:30.399
- Hey, anything goes.
- 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.502
- On the other extreme, there is
- 00:08:34.103 --> 00:08:37.373
- Plato's philosophy of sex is evil.
- 00:08:37.373 --> 00:08:40.509
- Doesn't matter. it's on the lower, lower level.
- 00:08:40.509 --> 00:08:43.045
- This thing about the body is nothing.
- 00:08:43.045 --> 00:08:45.815
- So one extreme anything
- 00:08:46.315 --> 00:08:48.250
- Goes, the other extreme nothing goes.
- 00:08:48.250 --> 00:08:51.087
- But what is the posture we have as christians?
- 00:08:51.988 --> 00:08:55.124
- It is that in marriage
- 00:08:55.591 --> 00:08:57.727
- There is an openness, and we've already said it.
- 00:08:57.727 --> 00:09:00.997
- There is a nakedness and there is no shame.
- 00:09:00.997 --> 00:09:04.634
- I heard someone say that sex in
- 00:09:05.267 --> 00:09:08.137
- Marriage is like oil in a machine.
- 00:09:08.137 --> 00:09:12.141
- It keeps all the parts working and there's no resting.
- 00:09:12.141 --> 00:09:18.114
- So how do we handle sex?
- 00:09:18.648 --> 00:09:21.717
- The secular world would tell you
- 00:09:21.717 --> 00:09:24.587
- That males
- 00:09:24.887 --> 00:09:27.356
- Give love in order to get sex.
- 00:09:27.356 --> 00:09:31.794
- I'm on the other side of the coin.
- 00:09:32.528 --> 00:09:35.564
- They say females give sex
- 00:09:35.564 --> 00:09:38.467
- In order to get love.
- 00:09:38.467 --> 00:09:41.671
- Totally inaccurate.
- 00:09:42.138 --> 00:09:46.509
- So we come to look to the bible
- 00:09:44.407 --> 00:09:48.644
- And get clear instructions
- 00:09:48.644 --> 00:09:51.981
- As to how this most sacred gift operates.
- 00:09:52.815 --> 00:09:56.118
- So we open the song of solomon or the song of psalms.
- 00:09:56.118 --> 00:10:00.523
- What does that mean?
- 00:10:00.523 --> 00:10:02.358
- It must mean that this book
- 00:10:02.358 --> 00:10:05.127
- Tells us how to sing
- 00:10:05.594 --> 00:10:07.697
- The number one song in life.
- 00:10:07.697 --> 00:10:10.866
- In the area of human sexuality.
- 00:10:10.866 --> 00:10:14.003
- It's the preeminent song,
- 00:10:14.570 --> 00:10:17.740
- The song of songs.
- 00:10:18.174 --> 00:10:20.910
- So we're talking about unashamedly
- 00:10:20.910 --> 00:10:23.746
- Sexual intimacy.
- 00:10:24.146 --> 00:10:28.084
- The operative word
- 00:10:28.517 --> 00:10:30.019
- For sexual intimacy is time.

- Choir all together.
- 00:10:41.697 --> 00:10:43.966
- The operative word for sexual intimacy is time.
- 00:10:43.966 --> 00:10:49.605
- So we open the book of ecclesiastes.
- 00:10:50.406 --> 00:10:53.275
- And i wish we had the time
- 00:10:53.843 --> 00:10:57.213
- To read all these passages,
- 00:10:57.813 --> 00:10:59.582
- But i'm just going to make references to them,
- 00:10:59.582 --> 00:11:02.485

- We studying first corinthians.
- 00:11:08.290 --> 00:11:10.826
- You read in first corinthians chapter number seven.
- 00:11:10.826 --> 00:11:13.496
- A little verse how in married life
- 00:11:13.496 --> 00:11:15.898
- There are occasions when when sex is not
- 00:11:15.898 --> 00:11:19.101
- Participated in by the husband wife,
- 00:11:19.101 --> 00:11:21.771
- Because that happens only for a time.
- 00:11:21.771 --> 00:11:25.508
- Remember?
- 00:11:25.808 --> 00:11:28.077
- So we come to ecclesiastes
- 00:11:28.077 --> 00:11:31.213
- And we see that sexual intimacy takes time.
- 00:11:31.213 --> 00:11:35.084
- You read about solomon.
- 00:11:35.084 --> 00:11:38.287
- He's attracted to the suit of might.
- 00:11:39.088 --> 00:11:40.856

- Abbreviated names.
- 00:11:45.194 --> 00:11:47.296
- And solomon was attracted to her.
- 00:11:47.296 --> 00:11:49.598
- And in chapter number one he describes for us
- 00:11:49.598 --> 00:11:53.235
- How he saw her.
- 00:11:53.602 --> 00:11:55.471
- Chapter one in mind, in that day
- 00:11:55.471 --> 00:11:58.040
- The body was totally covered, and all he saw was her face.
- 00:11:58.040 --> 00:12:02.278
- And so in chapter one,
- 00:12:02.745 --> 00:12:04.213
- When he saw this kilobyte girl, he describes her face,
- 00:12:04.213 --> 00:12:09.251
- Man, her her eyes, her her cheeks, her lips, her neck.
- 00:12:09.251 --> 00:12:13.389
- That's all he could see.
- 00:12:13.389 --> 00:12:15.257
- That was the introductory part.
- 00:12:15.257 --> 00:12:18.360
- That was the first step in time with her.
- 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.131
- And then there's a little bit about courtship.
- 00:12:22.131 --> 00:12:25.634
- And then on that wedding night,
- 00:12:25.634 --> 00:12:28.971
- We move on to chapter number four.
- 00:12:28.971 --> 00:12:31.540
- He describes more of her body.
- 00:12:31.540 --> 00:12:34.877
- He describes her eyes, her neck.
- 00:12:34.877 --> 00:12:37.146
- He describes her breasts.
- 00:12:37.146 --> 00:12:38.614
- You see, there's a development there in intimacy
- 00:12:38.614 --> 00:12:41.951
- On the wedding night.
- 00:12:42.451 --> 00:12:44.854
- Everybody wants a happy home.
- 00:12:44.854 --> 00:12:47.857
- But let's be honest.
- 00:12:47.857 --> 00:12:49.358
- A happy home doesn't just happen.
- 00:12:49.358 --> 00:12:52.261
- It's built.
- 00:12:52.261 --> 00:12:53.529

- You'd probably get references to something in space
- 00:14:34.730 --> 00:14:38.067
- That doesn't work and has to come together.
- 00:14:38.067 --> 00:14:40.836
- Hey, that's what i thought. but you get in there.
- 00:14:40.836 --> 00:14:43.305

- It takes you to
- 00:14:43.739 --> 00:14:45.841
- A bmw.
- 00:14:45.841 --> 00:14:48.243
- A bmw, according
- 00:14:48.243 --> 00:14:49.678
- To ward's automotive magazine, which is preeminent, evidently
- 00:14:49.678 --> 00:14:54.183
- In the understanding of engines and magazines for 26 years.
- 00:14:54.183 --> 00:14:58.387
- That said, the bmw
- 00:14:58.387 --> 00:15:01.090
- Makes the best engine
- 00:15:01.090 --> 00:15:03.692
- Of any manufacturer of automobiles.
- 00:15:03.692 --> 00:15:06.362
- Bmw in 26 years,
- 00:15:06.362 --> 00:15:09.365
- Bmw engine has finished number one.
- 00:15:09.365 --> 00:15:12.668
- Only two years they finished number two.
- 00:15:12.668 --> 00:15:15.070
- It is the most delicate,
- 00:15:15.070 --> 00:15:18.107
- Tuned engine of anything that's made on the planet,
- 00:15:18.107 --> 00:15:21.477
- According to this
- 00:15:21.477 --> 00:15:22.711
- Automotive magazine, which is considered to be definitive.
- 00:15:22.711 --> 00:15:26.281
- And so you look up and you
- 00:15:26.849 --> 00:15:28.217
- Talk about the danger of poor timing,
- 00:15:28.217 --> 00:15:31.220
- And you read there about how when somebody takers
- 00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:35.190
- With a motor the slightest bit the engine of a bmw,
- 00:15:35.190 --> 00:15:39.561
- You have to go back and get the ignition adjusted
- 00:15:39.561 --> 00:15:45.067
- And it has to be re timed.
- 00:15:45.634 --> 00:15:50.806
- And if this body is the engine god has given to you
- 00:15:51.807 --> 00:15:55.110
- And me for sexual expression in marriage.
- 00:15:55.110 --> 00:15:58.680
- Timing is very important because it's more intricate
- 00:15:58.680 --> 00:16:02.518
- Than even a bmw engine.
- 00:16:02.518 --> 00:16:06.288
- What are we saying, folks?
- 00:16:06.855 --> 00:16:09.058
- With symbol and metaphor.
- 00:16:09.058 --> 00:16:11.326
- We understand a finely tuned engine.
- 00:16:11.326 --> 00:16:14.563
- There has to be timing there at the ignition.
- 00:16:14.563 --> 00:16:17.199
- And that's true in all the lovemaking
- 00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:19.568
- We have in a marriage relationship.
- 00:16:19.568 --> 00:16:22.171
- Am i going too fast for anybody
- 00:16:22.171 --> 00:16:25.174
- Applied to yourself?
- 00:16:25.641 --> 00:16:27.443
- Applied to your own life.
- 00:16:28.010 --> 00:16:31.146
- And so we understand
- 00:16:31.146 --> 00:16:33.315
- The operative word in sexual intimacy is.
- 00:16:33.315 --> 00:16:37.886
- And it takes time
- 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.688
- And it takes timing
- 00:16:39.688 --> 00:16:43.325
- Also.
- 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:44.159
- It takes something else.
- 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.162
- Sexual intimacy requires.
- 00:16:47.162 --> 00:16:52.401
- Timely
- 00:16:52.601 --> 00:16:54.803
- Communication.
- 00:16:54.803 --> 00:16:57.039
- Read this book
- 00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:58.941
- And you'll see that solomon
- 00:16:58.941 --> 00:17:01.977
- And the shooter. mike.
- 00:17:02.444 --> 00:17:03.345
- They talked all the time.
- 00:17:03.345 --> 00:17:05.280
- It's just full of talking and conversation.
- 00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:07.649
- They talk, they talk, they talk.
- 00:17:07.649 --> 00:17:10.052
- When they were making love.
- 00:17:10.052 --> 00:17:11.153
- Before they made love. while they made love.
- 00:17:11.153 --> 00:17:13.155
- Read it all in between.
- 00:17:13.155 --> 00:17:14.289
- They're talking. they're communicating.
- 00:17:14.289 --> 00:17:16.758
- It's important that we communicate.
- 00:17:16.758 --> 00:17:20.762
- That we
- 00:17:20.996 --> 00:17:22.164
- Do not let things build up in a marriage relationship.
- 00:17:22.164 --> 00:17:25.400
- And we haven't dealt with this
- 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:26.768
- And we haven't dealt with this. we haven't dealt with this.
- 00:17:26.768 --> 00:17:29.371
- And there's a verse there in the second chapter of
- 00:17:29.371 --> 00:17:32.574
- Song of solomon,
- 00:17:32.574 --> 00:17:35.010
- Catch the
- 00:17:35.310 --> 00:17:36.245
- Little foxes because they spoil the vines.
- 00:17:36.245 --> 00:17:39.882
- Great little verse.
- 00:17:39.882 --> 00:17:41.583
- I thought about that term communication.
- 00:17:41.583 --> 00:17:43.919
- It's a little bitty irritating things.
- 00:17:43.919 --> 00:17:47.756
- He just keeps on criticizing.
- 00:17:48.390 --> 00:17:50.526
- She just keeps on harping.
- 00:17:50.526 --> 00:17:52.461
- She just keeps on dodging.
- 00:17:52.461 --> 00:17:54.296
- And the little bitty foxes.
- 00:17:54.296 --> 00:17:57.299
- And that day in the vineyard, the little foxes would go in
- 00:17:57.299 --> 00:18:00.502
- And they would go and attack the very roots
- 00:18:00.502 --> 00:18:03.572
- Of the vine that was to produce fruit.
- 00:18:03.572 --> 00:18:06.742
- They'd attack the roots,
- 00:18:06.742 --> 00:18:07.943
- And they know there would not be any fruit.
- 00:18:07.943 --> 00:18:09.645
- There would not be any production.
- 00:18:09.645 --> 00:18:11.246
- That's what happens, ladies and gentlemen,
- 00:18:11.246 --> 00:18:13.448
- In marriage, relationships and families,
- 00:18:13.448 --> 00:18:15.884
- When there's little beep beep, beep beep, well, no big thing.
- 00:18:15.884 --> 00:18:19.521
- Beep beep beep.
- 00:18:19.521 --> 00:18:20.822
- And suddenly the roots are attacked
- 00:18:20.822 --> 00:18:24.092
- And there's no joy and fruition and growth and development
- 00:18:24.092 --> 00:18:27.896
- In the marriage relationship.
- 00:18:27.896 --> 00:18:29.531
- Check those living for it takes communication.
- 00:18:29.531 --> 00:18:33.235
- Communication is very important.
- 00:18:33.969 --> 00:18:37.139
- What is communication about?
- 00:18:37.139 --> 00:18:40.242
- How do we communicate?
- 00:18:40.242 --> 00:18:42.511
- Most of us would say with words, right?
- 00:18:42.511 --> 00:18:46.915
- We communicate with words
- 00:18:46.915 --> 00:18:49.218
- Not really.
- 00:18:49.218 --> 00:18:51.186
- Only 7%
- 00:18:51.186 --> 00:18:54.189
- Of communication
- 00:18:54.590 --> 00:18:56.725
- Has to do with words.
- 00:18:56.725 --> 00:18:59.394
- But when i read that and realize it was true,
- 00:18:59.394 --> 00:19:02.397
- I said, you know, i spent a lot of time with words.
- 00:19:02.397 --> 00:19:05.767
- I'm a semi wordsmith.
- 00:19:06.268 --> 00:19:08.971
- Every week i write out a manuscript
- 00:19:08.971 --> 00:19:12.541
- 3252 pages.
- 00:19:12.541 --> 00:19:15.010
- You hope it will be 32.
- 00:19:15.010 --> 00:19:17.980
- Is it possible to preach a bad short sermon?
- 00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:21.650
- People keep reminding me,
- 00:19:21.650 --> 00:19:24.386
- But i work at words i do not memorize particularly.
- 00:19:24.386 --> 00:19:28.290
- It's just the overflow of what i've gotten and what i wear.
- 00:19:28.290 --> 00:19:31.493
- Every thursday i write out a manuscript.
- 00:19:31.493 --> 00:19:34.796
- What do i do? words.
- 00:19:35.264 --> 00:19:36.231
- But words are not big.
- 00:19:36.231 --> 00:19:38.400
- Only 7% of when we communicate, one of the
- 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.403
- Has to do with words.
- 00:19:41.403 --> 00:19:42.971
- Oh, well, that's kind of strange.
