NEC national conference, new Braunfels.
3
:We're here in new Braunfels, Texas.

:We have, uh, some different
things happening today.

:Today is basically what's going on here.
8
:So Saturday.

:Tustin, if you're not familiar
with Tustin is near Irvine.
14
:In California.
15
:So, yeah, he'll be preaching.

he'd go along more breakout sessions.
17
:I was told like, Hey, might be late.
18
:Really?
19
:Yeah.
20
:Yeah.
21
:I don't know where I read that,
but I'm confident I read it.
22
:I am preparing a shorter breakout
for just such an occasion.
23
:Cause you're going at 10 30.
24
:I tend to, yeah, that's right.
25
:That's right.
26
:We're going to talk about
the prosperity gospel.
27
:Yup.
28
:Yep.
29
:And, uh, actually another one that's
going at 10 30, pastor Josh Petrus.
30
:And the reason he's significant is.
31
:Compass Huntington beach, which was
our first plant that our sending
32
:church ever sent out is getting ready
to send out their own church plant.
33
:Wow.
34
:Kind of cool where too.
35
:Uh, long beach.
36
:Long beach.
37
:Josh Patrick.
38
:Lead that one.
39
:So we've got breakout sessions at 10 30
lunch at:
40
:again at one 30 with pastor Ben Blakey.
41
:He's the lead pastor of compass Bible
church, treasure valley in Idaho.
42
:There.
43
:So he's going to be preaching then.
44
:And then we got more breakouts at three.
45
:Uh, clock, I'll be doing
my second one there.
46
:Um, And then 4:00 PM.
47
:We've got a panel of all the
senior pastors, CBC senior pastor.
48
:Are you a senior pastor
or are you a lead pastor?
49
:I think I'm on our website as a
lead pastor lead senior pastor.
50
:Extraordinary.
51
:Yeah.
52
:All of that.
53
:Is there.
54
:Yeah, no.
55
:So, uh, we'll be doing a Q and
a session there and then we're
56
:heading back up because we've
got church on Sunday morning.
57
:That's right.
58
:Which is father's day.
59
:Oh yeah.
60
:Yeah.
61
:Tomorrow morning is
father's day or tomorrow.
62
:All day is father's day.
63
:Good morning.
64
:It's all day and we're doing hot dogs.
65
:We.
66
:Hello.
67
:Special event at church.
68
:Yeah.
69
:During the sermon, people are
going to be carrying the hot dot.
70
:Nah, dude, I would take a CJ.
71
:Yeah.
72
:During the worst of it during the
preacher, people are doing hot
73
:in and down with the condiments
down the aisles and stuff.
74
:Yeah.
75
:I would.
76
:That would be really funny.
77
:We are doing hot dogs
though, after the service.
78
:So men come hungry for, uh, everything
that's included in a hotdog.
79
:I think we should get Steve and Wendy
to dress up as the hotdog sellers.
80
:I talked to them earlier.
81
:I don't think they're on board with that.
82
:If we do, if we buy it.
83
:They'll have to wear it because it's.
84
:It's poor stewardship if they don't.
85
:Yeah.
86
:Also maybe poor leadership.
87
:If we made them.
88
:That might be brewing with a heavy hand.
89
:I think Steve wants to know.
90
:Well, have you asked him?
91
:I think he wants to do anyways.
92
:We're going to be grilling some hot dogs
afterwards, have some root beer and some
93
:water and things like that available.
94
:So it should be a great time
looking forward to that.
95
:That's tomorrow at campus Bible church.
96
:So don't miss it.
97
:Don't if you're at the NAC good
job by the mixer at NAC, but.
98
:But if you're not at NAC or you are.
99
:Please come back to judge.
100
:We need you.
101
:We, we, we need you there.
102
:We want you.
103
:Right.
104
:And we would fill your absence.
105
:That's true.
106
:PJ might cry.
107
:Yes, Lord.
108
:Amen.
109
:And this is the last Sunday you're gonna
be in the pulpit for like eight weeks.
110
:Right.
111
:False for, I I'm just missing one.
112
:Just missing one, I'm gone
for two weeks missing.
113
:One's gone for two weeks, but
you're going to be preaching, but
114
:what are you going to be doing?
115
:It'd be good to know.
116
:Uh, we're going up to boys college
to check out boys with my oldest.
117
:Who's going to be a sophomore
next year, but for him.
118
:Yeah.
119
:So, uh, yeah, I thought, I thought about
telling him that it was for me showing.
120
:I'm here to get.
121
:Coming back.
122
:Uh, yeah, so we'll be there.
123
:We're going to go hit
the Ark encounter cold.
124
:Cool.
125
:Cool.
126
:I heard good things about that.
127
:And then we're going to go out to
Washington DC for a little while.
128
:So yeah.
129
:We're going to have to
hear more about a person.
130
:And a few more together
before you take off.
131
:Right.
132
:A couple of times.
133
:Yeah.
134
:People want to hear about this.
135
:They want to know what you're doing.
136
:Well, now they know what we're doing.
137
:What are you wearing today on Saturday?
138
:We're listening to a lot of preaching.
139
:That's true.
140
:Yeah.
141
:So, and that's okay.
142
:Well here, we're listening
to the word of God.
143
:So why don't you grab your
Bibles and open up to the Psalms?
144
:It's a songs to go to go through.
145
:We're not done with the solves for awhile.
146
:You may be thinking, Hey, you
know, we're done with David.
147
:So Psalms are probably down to Nope.
148
:Nope, Nope.
149
:Nope.
150
:Yep.
151
:Yep.
152
:Yeah.
153
:Uh, someone 34.
154
:If anybody saw him only three verses long.
155
:Like this one and it's a.
156
:It's another.
157
:Yep.
158
:He's already.
159
:He's ready to do it.
160
:It's another song of a sense.
161
:Yep.
162
:There it is.
163
:There it is.
164
:Oh, man.
165
:I will never be able to read
those again, without hearing
166
:you sniff into the microphone.
167
:It's a song of a said.
168
:Anyways.
169
:Yeah, it is.
170
:And it's the last of the songs of a sense.
171
:And it seems to be addressed to
the Levites that they should bless
172
:the Lord and serve him faithfully.
173
:So.
174
:It's a call to the servants of the Lord.
175
:Um, lift up your hands to the holy place.
176
:Bless the Lord.
177
:May the Lord bless you from Zion.
178
:You talked about Xylem last episode.
179
:I think.
180
:Who who made the heaven and the earth.
181
:So a short one, but, uh, the last of
the Psalms of ascent, which again were
182
:the songs that were sung on the way up
to worship the Lord there in Jerusalem.
183
:So the people as they were going
to worship were singing to the
184
:Levites, who were there to facilitate
the worship, encouraging them.
185
:Hey, do what the Lord calls you to do.
186
:So.
187
:That's an interesting concept.
188
:I read that perhaps this
might have been issued.
189
:Um, before they left.
190
:Like at the end of the feet or whatever,
whatever it was that they were there
191
:for, it was probably one of the feasts.
192
:That they might have.
193
:Saying this as a way to say, Hey, on your
way back, may the Lord bless you guys.
194
:Um, as I kind of a departure som of sorts.
195
:So I don't know, it could be, may not.
196
:Most to som have decent.
197
:Oh, which they didn't
have no songs of decent.
198
:No wonder what they saying
on the way home though.
199
:That's interesting.
200
:Yes, Lord.
201
:Yes, Lord.
202
:Yes.
203
:Yes.
204
:Yes.
205
:Yeah,
206
:which is, which is a totally
biblical song, right?
207
:So I'm 1 3600.
208
:So yes, Lord.
209
:Amen.
210
:Oh, you don't, I'm going to do it now.
211
:Now that you've made such a stink of it.
212
:When you come back from your
vacation and you're all rested and
213
:you're feeling like, ah, I can't
wait to get back in the pulpit.
214
:It might show up.
215
:No, no, we're not, it's not
even gonna be in the bulletin.
216
:It's going to be a surprise.
217
:It's gonna be one of those tags songs
that you do at the end of another song.
218
:Just throw it in there.
219
:Yeah.
220
:No.
221
:No, we're not going to do that.
222
:I'll say I'm the thirst.
223
:I've got the guitar I'm going to yeah.
224
:I'll throw something.
225
:I'll find something and throw it at you.
226
:I'll throw a water bottle at you.
227
:Okay.
228
:All right.
229
:Hey, uh, some 1 46.
230
:This song is bookended by, uh, the phrase,
praise the Lord, which is the Hebrew.
231
:Hallelujah.
232
:It's a helpful song to be
reminded of during the upcoming
233
:election season, especially.
234
:The first three, put not your
trust in princes in the son of
235
:man in whom there is no salvation.
236
:When his breath, the parts he
returns to the earth on that
237
:very day, his plans parish.
238
:Uh, and so I, I.
239
:Don't get me wrong.
240
:It's not wrong to care about the
upcoming elections we should.
241
:And as, as Christians.
242
:I think we have a duty even to
fulfill the, the civic duty that we
243
:have the obligation to fulfill the
civic duty that we have, that, that
244
:God has given us the privilege to
vote in the nation that we're in.
245
:And so I think we should do that and
we should care and we should vote with.
246
:Informed conscience that, uh,
that our votes should be informed
247
:by the word of God by scripture.
248
:Uh, more than anything else, it should
be informed by who's the leader.
249
:That's going to make it.
250
:Um, easiest for the church to be
the church and to do the work that
251
:the church is being called to do.
252
:Uh, who's the leader that's going to
lead closest to biblical principles.
253
:There is no.
254
:There's no good.
255
:Candidate.
256
:Right.
257
:And we know that no matter who
is going to run for office.
258
:Good from the definition
of God's word being good.
259
:And that's why this says
don't trust in princes.
260
:Um, Mortality death.
261
:Those, there are things that
are associate with sin and those
262
:are true of every single person
that's going to end up in office.
263
:Uh, and, and then on top of that, There's
really no Christian candidate to point to.
264
:Uh, and, and I think that's especially
true in the upcoming election, but
265
:there is a way for us to vote as.
266
:A lot of people have suggested according
to the lesser of two evils that you
267
:choose the one that's going to be most
closely aligned with biblical principles
268
:and, and do the most good when it comes
to the church in maintaining freedoms
269
:for the church and things like that.
270
:How would you talk about trusting?
271
:And people then, because.
272
:Uh, we read verses like this, which
seemed to be kind of all encompassing,
273
:like, Hey, don't trust people.
274
:Don't put your trust in people.
275
:And on the one hand you want to say,
well, yes, none in your undergrad.
276
:Ultimate trust, I suppose.
277
:When it comes to trusting like a pastors,
I mean, Should there be a trust in people.
278
:A some kind of trust that
maybe isn't an ultimate trust.
279
:How would you talk about that?
280
:Because, I mean, I think I
was thinking about Jeremiah.
281
:Uh, he says curse is the man who trusted
man, who makes flesh, flesh his strength.
282
:It seems like scripture is very strong
on, Hey, don't put your trust in people.
283
:They're going to let you down.
284
:Yeah, but that also feels like you're,
you're not saying the whole truth either
285
:because you, I mean, Paul's like follow me
as I follow Christ, but it's that second
286
:part there it's as I follow Christ, right.
287
:Well, I mean, Yes.
288
:Okay.
289
:So you would qualify it by
saying the kind of trust that
290
:he's admonishing us not to have.
291
:Is a trust that is absent from
our separated from Christ.
292
:Right.
293
:Because Paul is saying.
294
:I'm worthy of your, your confidence.
295
:Because in so far.
296
:Yeah, because as, as far as
I'm aware, I'm following Jesus.
297
:And so.
298
:As you see me follow Jesus, follow me.
299
:Right.
300
:Imitate that in me.
301
:Um, I think what's being, what's being
condemned in Psalm 1 46 is this idea
302
:of like all my hopes for security and
comfort and wellbeing are being put
303
:on a, uh, A person, a human being.
304
:And I think that's what
the prophets talk about.
305
:That's what the Psalm is talking about.
306
:Our hope is not in.
307
:Our guy being an oval office in
November or, well, in January, I guess.
308
:Th that's, that's not our hope.
309
:We may hope that that happens.
310
:But that is a subservient hope to
our greater hope, which is our hope
311
:and trust in God's sovereign plan.
312
:Which actually we talked
about last Sunday.
313
:Um, God's sovereign plan is the
plane that cannot be stopped.
314
:And, and part of God's plan, let's remind
ourselves in the old Testament involved.
315
:Cyrus his servant.
316
:Involved Nebuchadnezzar as an
instrument of judgment, as he tells
317
:Habakkuk in Habakkuk chapter one.
318
:So I think sometimes when we grumble, we
need to be careful about grumbling against
319
:those that are in office as though.
320
:You know, this is the worst thing in the
world because God put that person there.
321
:Uh, it's, it's really
not about a democracy.
322
:God is the one that the
vote doesn't decide who's in
323
:office at the end of the day.
324
:God does.
325
:Um, Does it use the vote in,
in bringing that to light?
326
:Sure.
327
:But nobody gets in because at
the end of the day, oh, well
328
:the vote just went that way.
329
:And God's like, oh, look at that.
330
:I guess that guy is going to be the
president for the next four years.
331
:Now whoever's in office, come
January is going to be there
332
:because God puts them in there.
333
:Um, And so our trust is in him.
334
:Our trust is in God's unfolding,
sovereign plant, not in the man, not in
335
:the individual, not in the human being.
336
:But would you say there
is a kind of trust that?
337
:So, so again, coming back to leadership
in general, pastoral leadership, that
338
:specific, there is a kind of leadership
that's or a kind of trust rather,
339
:and leadership that's appropriate.
340
:Right.
341
:As that leadership is, is faithful to
the word of God and faithful to Christ.
342
:Right.
343
:I mean, even like, let's talk about
pastors, we we've heard about, and know of
344
:pastors that have fallen morally, right?
345
:Yeah.
346
:So, and that'll shake you.
347
:And that that will strike the
shepherd people scattered.
348
:Yeah.
349
:True for Christ.
350
:True for under shepherds too.
351
:And if you were confident in your
standing in Christ is because of
352
:your allegiance to your pastor.
353
:Then yeah, that's going to
undermine everything about you.
354
:You're going to be left going.
355
:Oh man, what do I do?
356
:But if your confidence is in Christ,
then as you often say, you know,
357
:the, the best of men are men at best.
358
:And that's important to, to remember.
359
:And so we have to guard against th
there's there's the two extremes.
360
:There's the one extreme of men.
361
:Nobody right.
362
:You're right.
363
:And, and to, to be skeptical of everyone.
364
:And cynical, right.
365
:And we want to avoid that as well as
the, the extreme that says, well, I
366
:trust everything this person says, right?
367
:Um, there's, there's
a middle ground there.
368
:And, uh, yeah, so we trust them as
long as what we're trusting you to do
369
:is somebody that's following the Lord.
370
:Like Paul said, trust me
because I follow Christ.
371
:Follow me as I follow Christ.
372
:I guess one of the things that you see
the contrast here in Psalm 1 46 is one of
373
:the reasons that we don't put our ultimate
trust in man is because man is temporary.
374
:Yeah, he's here for a moment.
375
:He's gone after 70, 80 years.
376
:Consequently, if you put your trust in
that, it's going to be a short term trust,
377
:but you're trusting God in verses five
through seven is the difference between
378
:temporary trust versus a permanent trust.
379
:You can permanently trust
God because he never fails.
380
:He never ends.
381
:He has no.
382
:At the beginning.
383
:No end.
384
:That's a better place to put your trust.
385
:Yeah.
386
:Notice also end.
387
:1 46, the last few verses here.
388
:There's some messianic overtones here.
389
:As when John the Baptist
sent his disciples to ask
390
:Jesus, Hey, are you the guy?
391
:Jesus said, go tell John what
you see and what you hear.
392
:And there's some themes here, though.
393
:This is not the direct
part that he was quoting.
394
:There's some themes here that, that just
picks up on, on setting the prisoners
395
:free opening the eyes of the blind.
396
:Uh, lifting those bowed
down, so forth and so on.
397
:So we see some messianic flavors
here in Psalm, 1 46 and delicious.
398
:So I'm 1 47 then, uh, this song
has the markers of being post
399
:exhibit could probably meaning
after the exile, as they return.
400
:We've been reading second
Chronicles again, probably written
401
:to a post exotic audience there.
402
:I am possibly, this was used in
connection to the rebuilding of the
403
:walls when the, the post exhilaration.
404
:Uh, company came back.
405
:And rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem there.
406
:So verse two, the Lord builds up Jerusalem
and gathers the outcast of Israel.
407
:That's one of the reasons that we
make decisions like that heals the
408
:broken hearted, binds up their wounds.
409
:This is the idea of restoring the nation.
410
:Uh, those that were broken hearted
over the exile, those were broken
411
:hearted over being away from Jerusalem.
412
:So he's bringing people back here.
413
:And that's causing them
to praise the Lord.
414
:I think it was really
interesting here in verse four.
415
:Uh, that he says he determines
a number of the stars and he
416
:gives all of them their names.
417
:Again, w it was recently that I was
preaching in what is now true north.
418
:And telling them God, God, numbers of
stars, any names, he just, he names 200
419
:billion trillion stars, which is the
estimation of how many stars there are.
420
:That's a lot of stars,
200 billion trillion.
421
:I don't know how much that
actually works out to, but
422
:it's, it's, it's mind boggling.
423
:You'll never be able to wrap your mind
around that, but that shows the extent of
424
:God's intimate knowledge of his creation.
425
:And if, of course, if he knows
that for the stars, then as
426
:Jesus points out later on.
427
:Well, he not care for you, right?
428
:I'm really encouraged by verses
like this because it shows me
429
:God's mag like magnificent nature.
430
:He's large.
431
:He's impressive.
432
:He's bigger than I can comprehend.
433
:And he cares about little
old, you know, little old me.
434
:I find that so comforting
and so encouraging.
435
:So for those men out there
who bought the star for their
436
:wife and named the Starfleet.
437
:Got already named buddy.
438
:Oh, man.
439
:Okay.
440
:Well waste of money then
I guess don't do that.
441
:All right.
442
:Psalm 1 48.
443
:Some 1 48.
444
:This Psalm is a called a praise,
the Lord, a call for all of
445
:creation to praise the Lord.
446
:Um, praise him, praise him, praise him.
447
:So repetitive again.
448
:There.
449
:Uh, praise the Lord from the earth.
450
:Praise the Lord.
451
:You great CRI.
452
:Sea creatures and all deeps.
453
:I like it.
454
:When scripture addresses God's creation.
455
:And commands his creation to
praise him and worship him.
456
:It's it's just a cool.
457
:Uh, it's a, it's a cool image there
that, uh, that we find from the, the
458
:writers of scripture multiple times.
459
:And this one is just a universal
call on creation to praise God.
460
:And you might notice too, as you
read through this, that he starts
461
:from the greatest to the smallest
or the greatest to this small.
462
:To the least, he starts from the
heavens, the Heights of heavens.
463
:And then he goes into the highest
heavens that is above the earth.
464
:And then he goes into the,
the, the earth itself.
465
:And then he goes into the sea.
466
:And that the big creatures there.
467
:And then he goes into the
children of man, like mankind.
468
:We ended up being some of the very last
people that he mentioned here, those
469
:Kings and all the, all the peoples of
the earth, young men, old man children.
470
:He says, let everybody
great and small, essentially
471
:everybody and everything great.
472
:And small praise the Lord.
473
:And that's exactly what's going to happen.
474
:God is going to bring this to fruition.
475
:All of the earth.
476
:Newly created in Christ
will praise him perfectly.
477
:And, and, and beautifully, I.
478
:I think I can't, I can't wait for that.
479
:This song will be fulfilled.
480
:Yeah.
481
:Yeah in.
482
:Yeah, Philippians two,
every knee will bow.
483
:Every tongue will confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord of the glory of.
484
:And broken creation will be restored.
485
:Yeah.
486
:Amazing.
487
:Yeah.
488
:Yeah, someone 49.
489
:Some one forty nine, a call for
Israel to praise the Lord and to
490
:execute vengeance on his behalf.
491
:So this is interesting because
this is a call to worship.
492
:But then also, uh, look at verse six,
let the high praises of God be in their
493
:throats and two edged sword in their
hands to execute vengeance on the nations
494
:and punishments on the peoples to bind
their Kings with chains and their Nobles
495
:with fetters of iron to execute on them.
496
:The judgment written, this is
the honor for all his godly ones.
497
:So here God is in involving his people
in executing vengeance on his enemies.
498
:This is an interesting.
499
:I had to, I had to think about
this in a little bit, but.
500
:Here's here's.
501
:What's interesting too, in addition
to this Psalm being interesting.
502
:Christians will rule
and reign with Christ.
503
:No, we will judge.
504
:People and angels will judge the nations.
505
:We're going to have a role with
Christ to judge, which I don't know.
506
:I don't know how many people
think about this with any degree
507
:of regularity, but this is a
fascinating part of our salvation.
508
:We are not going to feel like, oh man,
I feel bad about judging this person
509
:who am I to judge while Christ says you
are, because he's going to give you.
510
:Uh, rulership, he's going to
give you co air ruling reigning.
511
:Determinative at judging among the
nations, which is a fascinating
512
:thought what an incredible thought.
513
:And I think scripture speaks clearly.
514
:This is an honor for all his godly ones.
515
:Now the, the honor here is it looks like.
516
:The, the judgment of the nations
through Israel, but for us, the honor
517
:that we're going to share with Christ
is that we get to rule and reign with
518
:him and that's gonna include judging.
519
:Um, I often think about the afterlife and
people that will be judged for their sin.
520
:And I tremble at that thought.
521
:'cause I don't like that.
522
:I don't, I, I chafe against that.
523
:I it's hard for me to swallow that.
524
:This tells me that in the new
heavens and the new earth.
525
:Christians will have a proper view
of God's justice and they will not,
526
:we will not struggle with that.
527
:We will say, this is right.
528
:God has vindicated.
529
:God has justified in doing this.
530
:And we will.
531
:Enjoy and celebrate his justice
being laid out like this.
532
:Yeah, it seems that this is, I mean,
certainly eschatological and view.
533
:Uh, I think for this particular Psalm
probably has the millennial kingdom
534
:in view, um, when Israel will be
this, uh, rod of justice for God.
535
:Uh, with the nations because
the nations will be there.
536
:And you think about a thousand years.
537
:Uh, this is not a time
where everybody is sinless.
538
:People are being born in.
539
:They're being born with a sin nature
still during this thousand year reign.
540
:Now Satan is bound fascinating.
541
:So it's not as, uh, Perhaps rampant
as it is when we look around our
542
:society and culture, and yet people
will still rebel just naturally
543
:because of their fallen nature.
544
:And so Israel will be used
by God during that time.
545
:To execute adventure.
546
:It's the reason I say that and that I
don't think this applies to the final
547
:battle for example, is when you read
about the final battle in revelation,
548
:which we'll get to at the end of the year.
549
:There there's no, there's
no bullets flying.
550
:There's there's no swords clashing there.
551
:This is the one little
word shall fell him.
552
:Like the song says, I mean,
that, that's what happens.
553
:The tongue.
554
:The two edged sword that emerges
from the, from the mouth of Christ.
555
:That's all that's needed to defeat
Satan and his armies and everybody
556
:else gets the word and is done.
557
:Right.
558
:So.
559
:I think this is more millennial kingdom.
560
:They're kind of the, the military force
for DOD during the millennial kingdom.
561
:Judgment is good.
562
:It's an honor for the
saints to engage in that.
563
:Right.
564
:Right.
565
:So I'm one 50, then someone 50, the last
Psalm of the book of Psalms assaulter.
566
:So if you have a trivia question,
how many songs are there?
567
:150.
568
:This one's like, again short,
not long, uh, six verses.
569
:And I just love the way that it ends.
570
:I think it's so appropriate.
571
:Let everything that has breath.
572
:Praise the Lord.
573
:Praise the Lord that's.
574
:A fitting end of the book of Psalms that
so much of what the Psalms are about.
575
:And I would also point out too,
in this particular Psalm, you
576
:have justification for the use
of a multiplicity of instruments.
577
:It's almost as if whoever's
writing, this is saying, look,
578
:whatever you got, bring it.
579
:Let's let's use, let's use this.
580
:Let's use that.
581
:Now granted for a worship band, we have
a pretty set number of we're not using a
582
:whole lot of different entry on the loot.
583
:No Lutes this time.
584
:Uh, but, but this is justification
for the, the utility of instruments.
585
:I.
586
:I don't have a.
587
:Well, I guess we haven't, we
haven't talked about this yet.
588
:Have we talked about the
relative regulative versus the
589
:normative principle of worship?
590
:From the Psalms.
591
:So there are churches.
592
:I don't think we have right now.
593
:Regular.
594
:So there are churches that believe.
595
:That the worship in the
scriptures regulate.
596
:What you're able to do.
597
:That God's exacting worship demands
that you use his worship song book.
598
:So there are some churches
that will only sing the Psalms.
599
:They will only sing Psalm 1
49 and it's all in one 15.
600
:It's on 1 47.
601
:Uh, and they believe that because
God is so precise and, and his
602
:demands for what his worship is that.
603
:It would be an error to stray from that.
604
:Now you've probably not
been to a church like that.
605
:Most of us who are listening
don't know that experience.
606
:Uh, because we would follow
churches that understand the
607
:normative principle that is.
608
:Scripture norms, our worship expectations.
609
:It provides a guide and it calibrates our
understanding of what worship should be.
610
:So it doesn't.
611
:Restrain us or constrain us
into a certain reg regularly.
612
:It doesn't sir.
613
:Norma in a certain regulations.
614
:But it allows us to say within
this bounds, within these
615
:constraints do worship like this.
616
:And so we would look at someone 50 and
say, this gives us a justification to
617
:use instruments, not just these here.
618
:But all instruments.
619
:Uh, all instruments that we have access
to David invented instruments for the sake
620
:of worship, and we should be okay with
utilizing the tools that God gives us.
621
:So there you go.
622
:Normative versus regulative.
623
:Regulative means scripture regulates
constraints or worship normative
624
:means scripture, norm norms it and.
625
:It gives us expectations
about how to approach worship.
626
:Yeah.
627
:Yeah, that's helpful.
628
:And that's, that's actually that view
of the Psalms only is kind of gaining
629
:some steam in some circles today.
630
:And pushing back against
the current culture and some
631
:of the trite stuff that we.
632
:Here in churches.
633
:Yes Lord.
634
:Yes, Lord.
635
:Yes.
636
:Yes.
637
:That's a classic.
638
:Not trite.
639
:Yeah, so that's, uh, that's helpful.
640
:To help you guys understand
where we're coming from.
641
:Where are you going to
get a baseline like that?
642
:Well there's dude, there's some
churches they don't use the base.
643
:Do.
644
:Well, this Psalm one 50 says
we should use the banks back.
645
:The church of Christ says
no instruments at all.
646
:That's true.
647
:That's true.
648
:And I would wonder how they would
have, I mean, they have other
649
:issues besides that, but I wonder
how they would look at someone 50.
650
:But, I mean, I think the
argument is this is Israel.
651
:This is not the church.
652
:And so that's why the differences there.
653
:It's funny, not funny.
654
:I would.
655
:I would be curious to see how they look
at the rest of scripture because that
656
:kind of hermeneutic is really hard to
be consistent with across the board.
657
:You could apply just to the
solid, but they understand well,
658
:Is that just to Israel then?
659
:Should you only the 10 commandments
only for Israel, right?
660
:Um, yeah.
661
:Anyway.
662
:Yep.
663
:Well, I think the Lord is
pleased with instruments.
664
:I think he's pleased with.
665
:Worship voices.
666
:Exuberant voices.
667
:Yeah, which.
668
:We have talking about exuberance.
669
:God wants our exhibit.
670
:He doesn't want our
stale and flacid worship.
671
:He wants joy.
672
:He wants gladness.
673
:Yeah.
674
:And sometimes it's hard.
675
:Cause sometimes you walk
in on a Sunday morning.
676
:You don't feel that it's really hard.
677
:Yeah.
678
:I think most Sunday mornings, I
would say people aren't feeling
679
:that they're not ready for that.
680
:Right.
681
:We're not ready for that.
682
:Right.
683
:Which goes into preparing our
hearts for worship beforehand.
684
:That's right.
685
:Yeah.
686
:Hey, keep it in your Bibles.
687
:Tune it again tomorrow father's day.
688
:For another episode of the daily Bible
podcast, the father's day edition.
689
:See you then.
690
:Bye.
