Speaker:

Good Wednesday to everybody out

there listening to another episode

2

:

of the daily Bible podcast.

3

:

Yes.

4

:

Welcome to Wednesday.

5

:

Happy Bible day, happy Bible day.

6

:

National Bible day, every day, every day.

7

:

It's national, but I retweet it.

8

:

So I don't really tweet very

much or ex post, whatever,

9

:

but I saw something recent.

10

:

I'm like, well, that's good.

11

:

They said, nothing you read today

is going to be better than you

12

:

spending time in your Bible.

13

:

And I thought, you know what?

14

:

So I retweeted and then he closed it.

15

:

When I read my Bible.

16

:

That's a good call.

17

:

That's a good goal.

18

:

Not that I hadn't done it already,

but I felt like I needed more.

19

:

Yeah.

20

:

Yeah.

21

:

I stumbled across a guy who, uh, is

actually not a, not a believer, but

22

:

he's got an account on Instagram called

sick books or something like that.

23

:

The six book club.

24

:

Cool.

25

:

The, you know, the young people say,

I don't think they say that anymore.

26

:

This guy does.

27

:

Okay.

28

:

Um, anyways, he was talking about

me and my goal for the month

29

:

of may was reading 300 books.

30

:

I'm like three.

31

:

Hundred.

32

:

Books it's 10 books a day.

33

:

Yeah.

34

:

And so I was just flabbergasted by that.

35

:

There's 31 days.

36

:

Anyways Ruffin.

37

:

I mean, yeah.

38

:

So he said, one of the questions

that he gets often is how,

39

:

how do you do so much reading?

40

:

And he said he just doesn't doom.

41

:

Sqirl dooms girl.

42

:

And bologna.

43

:

So I'm sitting there

calling bologna on it.

44

:

I'm doom scrolling as he seeing

this well, nonetheless, whether he

45

:

does or not, it's challenged me.

46

:

And so I've been convicted every time I

go to pick up my phone to check Instagram

47

:

or to check Twitter or whatever like that.

48

:

I think to myself, man, I, I should

just, I should put this down.

49

:

I should read instead.

50

:

And I've been doing that more and

it's been, it's been productive.

51

:

It's been good.

52

:

Yeah.

53

:

Ever since I took, uh, some

of the big apps off my phone.

54

:

I've, uh, I've noticed this.

55

:

A great dip.

56

:

And my screen time for social

media, for some reason.

57

:

Well, I mean, I can't imagine why I know.

58

:

Yeah.

59

:

Yeah.

60

:

I.

61

:

I feel fine.

62

:

I still have it on my

website, like on the desktop.

63

:

So I'll go there and I'll take a look

at what's happening and you don't

64

:

feel like you're missing out on life.

65

:

I.

66

:

You know, I don't, I, I do on occasion.

67

:

I miss like, oh, I could post a picture.

68

:

But even then I typically just don't.

69

:

I just don't.

70

:

So.

71

:

Even, I never had a great

relationship with social media.

72

:

I'm kind of a private person.

73

:

I don't like putting stuff out there.

74

:

Uh, but I feel obligated.

75

:

Like I should put something, I

should say something I should

76

:

post a picture or something.

77

:

And there's occasion.

78

:

I think the last one I

posted for my Instagram.

79

:

Was our departure from compass

Bible church, Aliso Viejo.

80

:

Yeah.

81

:

So that's kind of the stuff that

reaches the level of this is

82

:

post worthy in my estimation.

83

:

Otherwise I don't find that most

of my life is worth posting about.

84

:

I've been sharing.

85

:

We're doing sermon reels on

the, from the weekend sermons.

86

:

And so I've been, you.

87

:

They invite me to be a collaborator

on that because it's whatever.

88

:

Okay.

89

:

So those are kind of

filling up my social media.

90

:

Uh, Instagram.

91

:

Page right now, but yeah.

92

:

Yeah.

93

:

That's a good use of it.

94

:

Yeah, that's a good use.

95

:

So.

96

:

Yeah.

97

:

Um, Hey, so let's get into Psalm 95.

98

:

All right.

99

:

Yeah.

100

:

Let's do it.

101

:

So I'm 95.

102

:

Uh, this song is not given an author

here, but the writer of Hebrews

103

:

seems to attribute it to David points

to it, to David and Hebrews four.

104

:

Uh, verse seven, which I know you,

all of you have memorized, but

105

:

in case you don't, it says this.

106

:

And again, he appoints a certain day today

saying through David so long afterwards

107

:

in the words already recorded, quoted.

108

:

So that's interesting because maybe

it's one of those things where it's

109

:

like, uh, the prophets say, because

David has written so many of them,

110

:

it could work to say, oh, this is by

David, even though it's not strictly

111

:

by David to our knowledge anyway, Or

he has insight that we don't have.

112

:

Yeah.

113

:

Yeah.

114

:

And that's where maybe this is tradition

being passed down, handed down.

115

:

And that's an, an interesting

thing because we have

116

:

tradition in church as well.

117

:

Of different things that have come

through that aren't necessarily

118

:

stated biblically, but things that

we suppose are that we rec in.

119

:

And even for example, Christmas, why we

celebrate Christmas around the time we

120

:

celebrate Christmas is not because there's

any chapter and verse that says, this

121

:

is the date that Jesus Christ was born.

122

:

Yep.

123

:

But because tradition holds

that it was around that time.

124

:

Uh, most people argue that it wasn't

exactly on the 25th of December,

125

:

but somewhere in the region.

126

:

And so we kind of celebrate, okay,

we're going to do it around then.

127

:

Same thing with Easter.

128

:

I mean, Easter floats

from, from year to year.

129

:

So it's just a general ballpark again,

based on tradition, not necessarily

130

:

based on chapter and verse, it's

not wrong, but pressed on it.

131

:

We're not going to go to the

stake for the date of Easter.

132

:

The date of Jesus' birth.

133

:

Or the death of the apostles.

134

:

That was another one that's kind

of church tradition, tradition.

135

:

Right.

136

:

We have nothing concrete

that says with certainty.

137

:

We know for a fact, Thomas died

in India and this is how he died.

138

:

Right.

139

:

Uh, but, but we, we.

140

:

We commonly accepted as, okay.

141

:

This is probably the way it happened.

142

:

There wouldn't be any good reason

for people to lie about it.

143

:

Uh, because most of them

died, ignominiously.

144

:

Yeah.

145

:

Ignominiously rather, that's it?

146

:

Yup.

147

:

Yup.

148

:

Yeah.

149

:

Well this, the, the content of this

Psalm is it's another one written

150

:

probably for the feast of Tabernacles.

151

:

Uh, remember the feast of Tabernacles

was there to commemorate the, uh,

152

:

deliverance of Israel from Egypt,

slavery, and God's preservation of the

153

:

people through the wilderness time.

154

:

And so there's, there's those

themes that we pick up here,

155

:

uh, verses one through seven.

156

:

There's a call to worship

the Lord just for who he is.

157

:

The Lord is a great God verse three,

and a great king above all gods.

158

:

Verse six, come let us worship and

bow down and kneel before the Lord.

159

:

Our maker for he is God.

160

:

Uh, there's something to that,

that, that God is worthy of worship.

161

:

Not for what he's done.

162

:

Even as much as just for who

he is, that he is the creator.

163

:

God.

164

:

Bye.

165

:

Bye.

166

:

His identity, he is

already worthy of worship.

167

:

And then when we consider all

that he's done, which is what

168

:

the rest of the Psalm encourages

and even warns us not to neglect.

169

:

He's, it's, it's even more reason for us

to worship and in verses seven, Be the

170

:

second half of verse seven through 11 of

the Psalm, you get the warning against

171

:

a hard-hearted disobedience that, that

disobedience to work failed to worship

172

:

God, um, as the Israelite generation did.

173

:

And, and so this has picked

up and Hebrews chapter three,

174

:

verses seven through 11, the.

175

:

Th the, the writer of Hebrews

uses this Psalm to warn us and

176

:

to warn his original audience.

177

:

Those were believers that were tempted

to go back to Judaism against drifting

178

:

against hardening, against falling away.

179

:

Um, like the wilderness generation

data and suffered that consequences.

180

:

So this is a Psalm, that's a, a call

to worship, but also a warning that

181

:

we shouldn't neglect to worship God.

182

:

I want to make one more point too, in

Hebrews chapter three, verse seven.

183

:

I also want to make note that

even though we do recognize that

184

:

there's a, an attribution to David.

185

:

Verse seven says therefore, as the

holy spirit says, Which we should take.

186

:

Great note of, uh, the Jehovah's witnesses

will say that the holy spirit is just

187

:

God's impersonal and active force.

188

:

And yet scripture says that the

holy spirit is in fact, he person.

189

:

Yeah.

190

:

Sometimes we people get.

191

:

You know, they become, uh, they feel

weird about it because we say the

192

:

holy spirit, we put a, you know, Uh,

something in front of his name that

193

:

we wouldn't say the PJ, the rod.

194

:

Right.

195

:

But it makes sense in our

common vernacular, but we're

196

:

not trying to depersonalize him.

197

:

Whereas acknowledging that's

that, that that's who he is.

198

:

He is the holy spirit.

199

:

Uh, he doesn't have a name.

200

:

He doesn't call himself Galloway.

201

:

Uh, God, the father has

revealed himself as yo.

202

:

And I think that's pretty,

I think that's clear.

203

:

Ah, Jesus.

204

:

A second number of the

holy Trinity is Jesus.

205

:

That's his name that we understand the

holy spirit doesn't have one of those.

206

:

So we call them the holy

spirit, but make no mistake.

207

:

He is the third member of the Godhead.

208

:

He is a person and he's the one

in verse seven, according to

209

:

Hebrews chapter three, who spoke.

210

:

So I'm 95 and there's something

interesting for you, your Bible.

211

:

It's not the product of man.

212

:

It is the product of God.

213

:

So holy spirit, not a.

214

:

Not a name.

215

:

But a description description.

216

:

Okay.

217

:

Maybe a title.

218

:

So when we pray.

219

:

We talk about this in our partners.

220

:

Uh, discipleship manual.

221

:

Um, but even there there's worship

songs that have been written out there.

222

:

And I think this is a different

category, but let let's talk prayer.

223

:

All right.

224

:

Uh, addressing the holy spirit in prayer.

225

:

Yay.

226

:

Nay.

227

:

How do we address them?

228

:

If holy spirit is not his name?

229

:

I still refer to the holy spirit.

230

:

I'll say spirit and.

231

:

Uh, drop the wholly, although it's

no less his holiness, I'll still

232

:

refer to him and say, spirit, use me.

233

:

Yeah.

234

:

Spirit or spirit of Christ.

235

:

You know, I, I guess I use personal,

uh, different designations for who he

236

:

is, but I still address prayers to him.

237

:

I address prayers of Christ to, yeah.

238

:

Um, But I he's definitely included.

239

:

Um, spirit lead me, things like that.

240

:

How do you, how do you pray to him?

241

:

Or do you?

242

:

No, I agree.

243

:

I think it's right to do that.

244

:

We need to pray Trinitarian prayers.

245

:

Uh, So often we say prayer is to the

father, through the son, by the spirit.

246

:

And I think by and large, the majority

of the time that's that's right.

247

:

We, we are addressing the, the

father most of the time when we pray.

248

:

But it's not wrong to pray to Jesus.

249

:

It's not wrong to pray to

the spirit because they are

250

:

equally members of the Godhead.

251

:

They are fully got what

we need to do, though.

252

:

And why I say pray, Trinitarian

prayers is not just that we pray to

253

:

all three persons, but that we would

pray to them in accordance with their

254

:

roles and they have different roles.

255

:

And so we're not going to pray to

the father and thank the father for

256

:

dying on the cross for our sins.

257

:

The father didn't die on

the cross for our sin.

258

:

That'd be, yeah, that'd be a mistake.

259

:

Yeah.

260

:

A big one.

261

:

We're also not going to pray to the spirit

and think the spirit for interceding

262

:

for us at the right hand of the father.

263

:

That's not what the Spirit's doing.

264

:

That's what Jesus is doing.

265

:

Uh, but we can pray to Jesus

and thank him for his death and

266

:

thank him for his intercession.

267

:

We can pray to the spirit and pray

that the spirit would convict.

268

:

Uh, an unbeliever of their sin and

their need for Christ, because this

269

:

is in accordance with the roles

that scripture lays out for them.

270

:

So I, yeah, I'm with you.

271

:

We can pray Trinitarian prayers and we

need to pray them in accordance with

272

:

the roles of each member of the Trinity.

273

:

That's well said.

274

:

So I'm 97 Psalm 97.

275

:

This song focuses on God

as the king and the judge.

276

:

Uh, it has an eschatological

feel to it as it anticipates the

277

:

future judgment of God's enemies.

278

:

Uh, one of the takeaways that I found

in this is for the Saint or for the

279

:

believer, at least it's found in verse 10.

280

:

Oh, you who love the Lord?

281

:

Hate evil.

282

:

Uh, that's a continued

theme throughout the Bible.

283

:

That those who fear the

Lord should hate evil.

284

:

We're going to get into

the book of Proverbs.

285

:

The book of Proverbs is going to talk

about that multiple times, that the

286

:

fear of the Lord is the hatred of evil.

287

:

Uh, and so that, that

should be true for us.

288

:

We've talked about that.

289

:

Lately in our discussions

of the imprecatory Psalms.

290

:

And that's part of the reason why

we might pray in preparatory Psalms

291

:

today even is because we do hate evil.

292

:

We do hate the murder of the unborn.

293

:

We do hate, uh, the, the perversion

of God's design for, for husband

294

:

and wife and so forth and so on.

295

:

So.

296

:

Uh, I think that's one of the things that

we see here to, to kind of take away a

297

:

nugget to say, yeah, we should hate evil.

298

:

That's what the Psalm is calling us to do.

299

:

Uh, because our God is the king and the

judge who will ultimately judge the.

300

:

The good and the evil on the, that

day in the future, it's repeated by

301

:

the apostle Paul in the new Testament.

302

:

Romans 12, nine says it differently,

but you kind of get the same idea here.

303

:

It says, let love be genuine.

304

:

And abhor, we might say hate what is

evil and hold fast to what is good.

305

:

So even though it might be a bit

shocking jolting as you read this,

306

:

and certainly the word hate carries

a lot of negative connotations.

307

:

But for anyone who loves.

308

:

Uh, anything there's going to be a

hatred for that, which threatens or

309

:

hinders that love from being realized.

310

:

So as you love the Lord.

311

:

Hate evil that that's a good prayer

Lord, help me to hate evil more

312

:

and still at the same time to love

the sinner who requires to be saved

313

:

from their evil at the same time.

314

:

Yeah.

315

:

Yeah, Psalm 98 then is it a

response of God's people to the

316

:

impending judgment, which that

response should be joy and worship?

317

:

Seeing it to the Lord in Latin Cantata.

318

:

Domi.

319

:

No, it's, uh, a phrase that.

320

:

Uh, is, is used to

invite worship to invite.

321

:

Since you can talk to domino domino.

322

:

Yeah, Domino's pizza.

323

:

Yeah.

324

:

Uh, justice is going to be done.

325

:

Wrongs will be made, right?

326

:

The wicked will be punished.

327

:

These thoughts coupled with the knowledge

that God has saved us should produce

328

:

in us a response of joyful worship.

329

:

And so that's where Psalm 98 is it's

causing us to think and into be.

330

:

Joyful about this and, uh, to be even,

you know, happy in, in a, in an odd

331

:

way, but, but to be happy in these

things, Um, The justice has done.

332

:

I was talking with somebody recently

about that, that, that the sense of God's

333

:

justice is, is as much as, for example,

the doctrine of hell is uncomfortable.

334

:

The sense of God's justice is comforting.

335

:

Because you know that there are

there's there's justice that will

336

:

be done to somebody who is proof,

horrifically, wicked, somebody

337

:

who does awful things to a person.

338

:

And, uh, there's a limit to which our,

our human justice system can satisfy

339

:

our desire that the wrong be righted.

340

:

But if we understand this idea

of God's judgment, there's

341

:

a comfort that comes to us.

342

:

Knowing that justice will be done.

343

:

That's right.

344

:

I think at the beginning of

this Psalm is also important.

345

:

And I want to point this out to

you because as a worship leader,

346

:

it's very important to me.

347

:

He says here Psalm 98, verse one.

348

:

Oh, sings to the Lord, a new song.

349

:

There you go.

350

:

There's justification to introduce

new songs to the congregation.

351

:

Not that there's anything wrong

with the old songs, but a new song.

352

:

And notice the reason why

second half of verse one for

353

:

he has done marvelous things.

354

:

And I put it in my Bible.

355

:

New marvels.

356

:

Uh, new marvels, equal new music.

357

:

If there's new reasons to glorify

God, there's a new reason to sing

358

:

to him with the, in a fresh way.

359

:

Again, not that there's anything

wrong with the old music.

360

:

And certainly the church is always going

to be evolving and hopefully carrying over

361

:

a Canon of music that she's sung for ages,

but again, nothing wrong with new songs.

362

:

In fact, it should be something that's

quite natural to the church because

363

:

God is constantly doing new things.

364

:

To preserve her to work salvation

on her behalf to magnify himself.

365

:

And so we do new songs we do.

366

:

And yet we're, we're always mindful

of the content of what we're seeing.

367

:

Absolutely.

368

:

We're not going to sing things

that are unbiblical or wrong.

369

:

Uh, and this is a, probably a whole

episode in and of itself, but just

370

:

the whole can of worms that comes to

a worship music and the worship wars

371

:

that are out there and everything else.

372

:

And even just the fact that, that,

that phrase exists, worship wars is

373

:

tragic, but it's indicative of the fact

that there's some things that are out

374

:

there that aren't, that aren't good.

375

:

Even, we were just talking

about holy spirit, right?

376

:

There's a song.

377

:

I remember that it was holy spirit.

378

:

You are welcome here.

379

:

Come flood this place

and fill the atmosphere.

380

:

Right.

381

:

No, that one.

382

:

Yeah.

383

:

It's like it.

384

:

That's, it's not our job to invite God's

spirit into the, into our presence.

385

:

Nor is it, the focus of worship

meant to be the holy spirit.

386

:

The focus of worship

is meant to be Christ.

387

:

The exaltation of Jesus.

388

:

And the spirit is there

to, to facilitate that.

389

:

Um, and so we, we've got to be

careful and intentional, even

390

:

with those things as well.

391

:

Absolutely.

392

:

And one of the things, I guess

I want to commend our church.

393

:

I, you know, being a worship leader,

you, you can understand that there are

394

:

some hazards that come with the job.

395

:

You know, people could

say, I didn't like this.

396

:

I'd love that.

397

:

Please stop doing this.

398

:

Please do this more of that.

399

:

Um, our church does a really good job.

400

:

I.

401

:

I've gotten encouragement and people

have been really gracious in saying,

402

:

oh, you know, they understand

that worship is not about them.

403

:

And I think that's the

point here where we were.

404

:

Uh, in my mind.

405

:

Uh, for me and those on the stage.

406

:

And even those in the back, our goal

is to help facilitate the worship.

407

:

Of the congregation not worshiping

the congregation, but the

408

:

congregation worshiping God.

409

:

And I think they, I think

our church gets that.

410

:

And I'm really thankful for that

because we don't have a lot of those

411

:

infighting or, oh, we should do more

of this people and not less than.

412

:

I'm thankful for that.

413

:

I don't take that for granted.

414

:

Yeah.

415

:

Yeah.

416

:

That's uh, that's hugely

encouraging for sure.

417

:

Uh, sometime United w one of our

distinctives as a church is we seek

418

:

to maintain a high view of God.

419

:

And I think Psalm 99 is an example of what

a high view of God looks like in worship.

420

:

Uh, the judgment of God reminds us

in the Psalm of the holiness of God,

421

:

which is the theme of the Psalm itself.

422

:

And yet another reason

for us to worship him.

423

:

After establishing that we should

worship him for his holiness.

424

:

The Psalmus here gives some examples

of that holiness in action in the

425

:

lives of Moses and Aaron and Samuel.

426

:

But God's holiness is

his otherness that he is.

427

:

Separate and distinct from all that we

are in the best way possible, because

428

:

he is the paradigm of perfection.

429

:

Uh, his reason to worship him.

430

:

And it's that idea of

maintaining a high view of God.

431

:

Uh, blasts for me is to bring God down,

to bring that which is elevated down.

432

:

And so we want to be

careful not to do that.

433

:

In our worship.

434

:

We want to maintain a focus on him

as exalted as high and as holy and

435

:

that certainly what Psalm 99 does.

436

:

Yeah.

437

:

Amen man.

438

:

There was a song that we did

at my, one of my old churches.

439

:

Uh, based on this song, exalt the Lord,

our God worshiped that his footstool,

440

:

holy is he was really cool song.

441

:

I think it was like, Maranatha

one of those publishers.

442

:

But anyhow, all of this is say.

443

:

Now, this is one of the areas where

most Christians get God wrong.

444

:

And we talk about this all the

time, because it's so evergreen

445

:

people, people attribute to God

things that they should not.

446

:

If God were like, if I were God,

I would do this, this and this.

447

:

I mean, there was that

movie, Bruce almighty.

448

:

You're having all my, whatever.

449

:

I mean, they took God and

they made him into Jim Carey.

450

:

Yeah.

451

:

Or whoever the other guy was.

452

:

I just think that w what, uh,

As a Christian, I struggled.

453

:

I shouldn't even watch this movie

because this is going to be blasphemous.

454

:

I know it's because it's taken God

and make it and making him like, man.

455

:

I think that's the problem.

456

:

We as humans naturally just

want to bring God down to our

457

:

level and make him like us.

458

:

Because if he's like us, he's safe and he

can not be, he's not going to be a threat.

459

:

But the reality is God is a threat.

460

:

Yeah, I see a chapter six, really

helpfully kind of encompasses

461

:

all 99 to realize God is holy.

462

:

He is holy he's other.

463

:

And I guess let's, let's be quick.

464

:

Quickly, what does it mean

that God is holy pastor PG.

465

:

I see that you got Bible

doctrine here on your desk.

466

:

Clearly been studying some theology.

467

:

What does it mean that God is holy?

468

:

I mean, then we can unpack the whole

thing, but enough to give them a sense.

469

:

Right?

470

:

Well, The most often thing that

comes to mind when we talk about

471

:

holiness is moral perfection.

472

:

And certainly God is that.

473

:

Uh, that there is no sin, perfectly

righteous, perfectly righteous, but it

474

:

really is the idea that of distinction

of set apart in, in, in otherness.

475

:

Uh, the word consecrated is the

idea that you, you would consecrate

476

:

something for use in service to the

Lord and you're declaring it to be holy

477

:

it's not to be used for anything else

other than God is set apart for that.

478

:

We as believers are consecrated as we

are positionally sanctified set apart

479

:

for the Lord and the Lord only, but

God is in his own unique category of

480

:

holiness in that, that there's nothing

else that you can compare him to.

481

:

He will always be above and

beyond and distinct from

482

:

anything else in all creation.

483

:

It's not like a three leaf Clover.

484

:

Uh, no, he's not like water.

485

:

Nope.

486

:

He's not like an egg.

487

:

Nope.

488

:

None of those things.

489

:

I'm obviously alluding to somebody, a

TriNet Trinitarian, metaphors, metaphors.

490

:

Is that, or do you use, but not,

it should not be used because

491

:

there's not a good explanation.

492

:

They don't work.

493

:

They actually teach heresy.

494

:

So please don't use those.

495

:

It's good, good reason.

496

:

Not to use good reason

not to use them, but yeah.

497

:

How does holding he tr.

498

:

Perfectly righteous and

transcended and his being.

499

:

It's hard to use human language,

to capture, to capture all of it,

500

:

but that's something important.

501

:

That's what important.

502

:

You should always exalt the Lord.

503

:

Your God, keep him high

in your estimation.

504

:

That's a safer place than to

try to pull him down to human.

505

:

Human terms.

506

:

Absolutely.

507

:

Absolutely.

508

:

Uh, that reminded me,

um, when you brought up.

509

:

Bruce almighty Evan almighty.

510

:

Uh, there's that movie, the shack to

where they worked out was this woman.

511

:

And large black woman.

512

:

Exactly.

513

:

Did your mama or something like that,

which came to mind because I was

514

:

watching with my family recently, uh,

not the shack, but, uh, Uh, resource

515

:

on something that I want to recommend

to our listeners in our church.

516

:

And that is HGTV.

517

:

So.

518

:

American gospel America's got talent.

519

:

Nope.

520

:

Nope, not that, but a HGTV American

gospel TV, you can go to their website.

521

:

They've got an app.

522

:

You can get it right.

523

:

Get the app on your streaming services

on apple TV or anything like that.

524

:

I think it's like a $7

a month subscription.

525

:

It's.

526

:

It's way better than the Netflix

or anything else like that.

527

:

You're going to get a lot of really good.

528

:

Uh, vetted resources on browse.

529

:

And see what options there are

American gospel that the movies,

530

:

American gospel Christ, crucified,

and American gospel Christ alone,

531

:

both of those movies are on there.

532

:

Super helpful.

533

:

Cessationists cessationist is on there.

534

:

That's another one,

spiritual and warfare truth.

535

:

Or territory.

536

:

Yeah, I see that they've got a Paul

washer on their body Bochum on there.

537

:

They've got some things by, uh, Todd

Friel on their attributes of God by

538

:

Lawson, by Steve Lawson survey of

church history by, oh, I know this one.

539

:

Uh, I don't know who did it.

540

:

Charlie's is on there.

541

:

Oh, Godfrey.

542

:

That's who that is.

543

:

Yeah.

544

:

Yeah.

545

:

So a lot of really,

really good resources and.

546

:

Behind this.

547

:

There's a conglomerate behind it.

548

:

I don't.

549

:

Everybody that that is.

550

:

I'm not seeing any jewelry,

Spire, I'm not seeing any Joel.

551

:

Olsteen.

552

:

And that's the thing, like there's other

resources out there, like right now,

553

:

media is another one that's out there, but

this one is unique in that by and large.

554

:

I think it's, it's, it's all going to

be really good and helpful material for.

555

:

There's one on the Enneagram.

556

:

Yeah, it looks, Hey.

557

:

Here's why you should

use the Enneagram tool.

558

:

Steve Lawson.

559

:

I don't think Arthur.

560

:

I don't think it's positive on.

561

:

The Enneagram is my guest.

562

:

Yeah.

563

:

Oh no.

564

:

Yeah.

565

580

:

581

:

This is all leading up to a referral link.

582

:

No, no, no, no.

583

:

I get nothing out of this.

584

:

I just we've been watching some of this.

what they were doing and what that

599

:

We were tracking.

600
