goes so we as Christians, wemust do the things that need to be

(00:44):
done, and if we haven't obeyedthe Gospel, we need to obey as
early as possible so we can goto work in the Lord's Kingdom. The
Church or Christ once again the lessonsby Joey Fox that he's bringing us a
wonderful lesson on time. We hopethat you enjoy listen and please like this

(02:22):
why my old child, my life, my saying out there you wi me

(03:09):
i'qui ma me, I know babysay I my time, Yeah, I

(03:50):
my my say I my loving mesame be broid place is why he scream

(04:56):
my line. I let us hearthe conclusion of the women. Fear God

(05:26):
and keep his commandments, for thisis the whole good in men. For
God shall bring every work in thegovernment with every secret fan, whether it
be good or whether it be evil. Now you can read this, and
I think I've heard the Creature prequelthe time about this being in the way

(05:47):
that the life is like our bodiesand the way that they do. But
I wanted to focus a little bitold what it talks about then, and
what vanity really means. It says, I look up. It says the

(06:09):
epiness, uselessness, worthlessness of things, especially in those that are not from
God or any courting to spend Hiswill. It also means excessive pride or
conceive of one's appearance abilities for achievementswith a contrary which is contrary to humanity

(06:32):
and love of quote others. Weall haven't vanity sometimes and we will look
for a certain ways, especially ifyou take a picture of yourself, and
you look at it for pretty long, and you want want things to look
different than what they really are.But this is all that there is is

(06:55):
I can't think it no difference.We about going with classic surgery it and
sculped in a certain way that Godgive us walk to God. That's all
there is too. But the otherthing that we wanted to look at was
time. It talks about the twothings that then shall the dust repairing to
earth as it it was, andthe spirit returned to God became our time,

(07:20):
our dad's safe maybe duty times overjust preachings that time is the second
most important thing that we possess besidesourselves, and it is the time that
we spend here. It says time, but simply is duration. It's the

(07:41):
time that we're here. But timeis also personal and checked by human actions
and decisions. And it has differentmeanings depending on the context and purpose.
When I lift up another definition,and that's said this and I put down

(08:01):
my notes, this is the wrongdefinition. The indefinite continue the progress of
existence and events in the past,credit and future, regarding regarded as a
hope. Well, if you willleave the Bible. Time is not indefinence.

(08:24):
Time only is going to last aslong as you'll learn. We as
human men to say that it's goingto be indefinite. In our minds,
we think that we're going in forever. But that's not so. You pick
up the newspaper and you read itfor very law, and you go to
the eventuary section, and you findthat the young guy as those owned,

(08:48):
and more times than not, theyare very much unprepared, the young ones
that die way before their time,so to speak. But it's their time.
God took him away with their cousin. He didn't get him really love
her. He didn't promised us anylove. Well, that's what we're going
to talk about now, is thetime this morning. If you turn into

(09:11):
Ecclesiasts there as well, chapter threeand merch one, it says, now
to everything there is a season anda time to ever purpose under head.
And he goes on there to say, and time to be born, and
a time to die, I tiedto play, and time to pick up

(09:31):
that which is played. A timeto heal, and a time to heal,
a time to break down and atime to build up, a time
to weep and a time to laugh, and a time to board, and
a time to dance, a timeto cast away, stoves and turned together
stoves together. I turned to raceand a time to refrain from racing,

(09:52):
a time to get and a timeto lose, a time to keep and
a time to cast away. I'mtied to then, and a time of
soul, and a time to keepsilent, and a time to speak,
a time to love and in terblehad a time of war and a time
of peace. What profit has hethat worketh in that queyam labor? Are

(10:18):
we laboring in the right things?Helen is swift to getting away from you?
I wrote, try my bets.But you know, yesterday was twenty
years we did was born. It'sbeen twenty years in just a short period

(10:41):
of time, and twenty years getsaway. I can remember that Copani.
The other night, I said,do you remember what she was ad about
this time on that the night beforewe was traveling to the hospital, and
then the next day while we wasdoing that day and then the things that

(11:01):
you and acknowledge. It's a memoryfor me. But you know, think
about things in our own lives,special things in our lives that are getting
winning that dun't be wig well it'sour time. Now is the day of
salvation. In Second Peter, chapterthree, in verse eight through twelve,

(11:26):
it says, but the Lood benot eigner of this one day, that
the day that one day is withthe Lord as a thousand years and a
thousand years of one day. TheLord is not slaightfulcering his promise, as
some men count slackness, but asLord suffering of us worth, not willing

(11:48):
that any should perish, but thatall should come to repents. But the
day of the Lord will come asa thief in the night, in the
which the heavens shall pass a waywith the great lords, and elements shall
melt with the further heat, andthe earth also, and the words said
that their edge shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall

(12:11):
be dissolved. What manner of personsought you to be? An awfully conversation
in Godleans, looking forward and hasteningunto the coming of the day of God,
wherever heavens, being on fire,shall be dissolved, and an elements
shall we shall melt with further heat. What should we be? How should

(12:33):
we be? How are we spendingin that time? You know he says
he's not slight concerned of his promiseas some men count slightness. He's long
suffering. That's why we have thetime that we have. He's moved,
suffering that we will come to him. In first figure, chapter one of
verse ten through thirteen, and says, off with salvation. The prophets,

(12:58):
having quiet and search difficuly, whoput side of the grace that should under
you? Searching what or what mannerof time? The spirit of Christ which
was in them did signified when ittestified beforehand the suffering of Christ and the

(13:20):
glory that should follow underhood. Itwas revealed that not unto them themselves,
but unto us, they did ministerthe things which are now reported unto you
by them that have preached the gospel, unto you, with the whole gost

(13:43):
sent from heaven, which stings angel'sdesire to look into. Wherefore, grey
of the wolls of your life,be sober and hope to end for the
grace that is to be brought underyou at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
He's talking here, He said.The puppets, they looked forward. They

(14:03):
bought side of it that Jesus wouldcome and he is suffered. But it
was meant for them, It wasmeant for us. It was meant for
us that we should have the salvationthat's in Christ. And because supping was
such that we would have that.That's why he be redeeming the times that
we had. And Joe chapter fourteen, verse one and two. It says,

(14:30):
man that is born of a womanis of a few days and full
of trouble. He come up forwardlike a flower and is cut down.
He flee them also as a shadow, and continue enne. You know when
you look the other not on wasburning, brushing, was sitting out in
the backyard, and then he gotreal bright the middle of shining all that.

(14:56):
The dog was sitting next to me. His shadow was there, and
he'd be for a minute and getsmall. He's scared the shadow. That's
the way it is. Our shadow. He comes and goes. You know,
we're here for a little while,and we were a little beyond what
we do with that pid. Joesaid, man is lord a woman.

(15:18):
There are a few days, ifthere are a lot, it's just a
few, and they're a little oftrouble, and then they're just lacking.
Flowery. It became ed and LittleChapter fourteen, verse sixteen through twenty says
then said he unto him, acertain man made a great supper and been

(15:39):
made, and sent his servant atsupper time to say to the end that
we're bidden come where all things arenow ready. And they, with they
always wanting to consent, begin tohave made excuse, and said to him,
I have bought at the grounds,and how us these don't and see

(16:02):
it? I prayed he hadn't excuse. And another said, I am five
ulk of boxing, and I goto prove them. I prayed he hadn't
exhu And another said, I ammarried a wife and I cannot come.
That's the way the world is.They always have made an excuse why they
can't come to the world. Thatthis I've heard this taught many many times.

(16:26):
Because one the mother teacher, he'dalready bought the ground by do you
need to go see it? Theother one he bought the five milk boxing
money need go look at him?You don't? And the one had a
bot by did you bring to workfor him? Bring brownly? But that's
the way of worth. But John'sgot all thing. Then all we gonna

(16:48):
do is on bay. But weevery time we made an excuse. All
we make that excuses today doubt thetimes thousands of times. John chapter sixteen,
verse twenty nine through thirty one.It says his disciples said to him,
love, now speakest thou playing andspeaks though progers. Now are we

(17:12):
sure that thou knowest all things andneedest not that any man should ask thee?
By this we believe that thou outcamest forth from God, and Jesus
answered them. Do you now believe? Do we now believe just because he
don't speaking, provert? He speaksat playing? It's playing, friends,

(17:37):
If you are to live Bible,and we read his playing, what we
need to him to be saved?What we need to be become a child
of his? How we need tolive our lives day day meant the mening.
But do we now believe? Youbetter be believing in a vision?
Chapter five, verse six to eighty, it says, let no man deceive

(18:00):
you with vain words, For becauseof these things come at the wrath of
God, all the children of disodeensbe not. Ye therefore partaculars with them,
For ye where some kind of darkness, but now are light and the
Lord walk as children of life theto be walking as children of life,

(18:23):
do most things that he would hasto do, and not being deceived by
the world and the vain words thatthey would say. You know, that's
collective this week. You can bedeceived pretty easy. The only you.
And I'm not thinking a little moneyfor little money to think that I'm saying

(18:44):
anything. An istum renders in thisroom to deal in cars. But you
know, I bought a car andI got a boy with them, and
I believed to leave to my soulthat it would take lagger to figure out
what it says. And I thinkthat's some of how things go. They

(19:06):
kind of deceived you with the wordsthat they say. That's the way you
want to call them. They wantto be paying me up with the words
that they say. But those wordsare playing. That's why I'm getting at.
Those words are playing. I don'tneed somebody to interpret. It's like
we just calling me and Dad theother day about the listening to the president.
I don't much do that, orany other politician for that matter.

(19:30):
We'll get on the TV because usuallywhen they say something, I'm not sure
whether I can be legal or not. And then I'm not educated enough.
Apparently, to know what they aresaying, because act they're done, somebody
else has to interpret further. Well, I want to read and know what
I need to know all you.I don't need somebody to interpret further.

(19:53):
And Colossus, chapter three and verseeight and nine, it says, but
now he also put off all theseanger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,
filthy communications out of your mouth,lie not one to the other. Seeing
you have put off the old manwith his needs. Then you put off

(20:17):
that old mans who becoming the newman. And your supposed to be that
Christian that God would have us tobe and walk with him. And he
talks about a lot of other ship, anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,
filthy communication, out of health.You know, that's the thing in
the world to day. It's justfilthy communications everywhere, filthy communications everywhere in

(20:42):
relationship or two verse twenty and says, I am crucified with the Christ.
Nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ live for me and the
life which I now lived in theflesh. I live by the faith of
the Son of God, who lovedthee and gave himself for do we have

(21:06):
Christ shown in us? You knowthat's something that's really hard to see.
Sometimes in the Christians that become incontact quit they say they're Christians, but
are they truly Christians? And yousee christ thing? Then he says,
here but Christ end of thee neededand the life which I now live in

(21:26):
the flesh I lived by the faithof the Son of God. Do we
have faith that he's nire, thathe's with us whom we needed me most?
I dare say that's so and old, But we friends who need to
do that. In Second Caribbeans,Chapter six and verse one and two says
we then, as workers together withhim, and beseech you also that you

(21:51):
receive not the grace of God andman. For if he's saying, I
have hurt thee in a time acceptedand end the day of salvation, and
have our scourged day, behold nowas they accepted time, behold now as
the day of salvars. It's righthere, it's right now. If if
we don't grab hold of it now, I fear that something may come upon

(22:15):
us who are not looking and willbe in trouble. They need to reach
out to grant the plots of labelhe didn't give us any other other time
or say that we have an opportunity. You know, they used to be
a funny saying. I've heard Dadsaying if you how isn't how as he
says it that you may never havethis opportunity, but that this is the

(22:41):
opportunity. This isn't the time.I always thought that was funny how he
said it, But it's true.This is the time. There is no
other opportunity. You may not haveanother. Better nach onto it by you
can and songs Chapter thirty nine andverse soon and it says, and now

(23:02):
the Lord, what weight I forward, my hope is in me, delivered
me from all my transgressions, andmake him not the reproach of the foolish.
He says, what I waited forpart of my way, people,
I needed to be done it,and I must give hid it and good
Now now's the time and time's Chaptertwo, verse eleven three fifteen says for

(23:30):
the grance of God, that brandsalvation hath appeared to all men, teaching
us that denied godless and more ofthe lust, we should live soberly,
righteously and godly in this present world, looking forward that blessed home and the
Lord's appearing of the Great God andour sacred of Jesus Christ, who gave

(23:52):
himself for us, that he mightredeemed us from all iniquity and purified to
him, sell peculiar people, andsell us of good births. To these
sayings, speed and exhort and reviewedwith all authority, let no man despised
it. He says, we needto be looking for that blessed heart four

(24:15):
and the Lord's appearing of our greatGod and saving Jesus Christ. Looking for
are we even looking for? Dowe open books? Book of Bobby and
me? You know, uh Barbin, Sister Barbara gave thing of books to
uh deal and I think it waslast week and I've been going through.

(24:40):
One of them books was fifty ShortServants and I got to reading killed and
you know in that book, Iguess it was awful Toss Bohn Thomas who
it might have been books. Butthanks little notes on all the side of
places that that them lessons have beentaught over and over again, over and

(25:03):
over again, the same same salvationand courage from all those lessons. You
know that they were taught at differentplaces, that they were taught the same
way, and they received the samemessage and it must have been that they
needed to be taught over and overagain because there's many, many different things
in them. Well, then makesanother book that they gave me, and

(25:26):
I was reading in it, it'ssomething about the code of the Bible.
Yeah, these are all sorts ofpeople looking for a code in the Bible
of what the future might hold.But if you'll go and you'll read in
Revelations the codes die. It maynot tell me who who special is going

(25:48):
to die and be one of menthat's going to happen in the future.
No, but it does tell meof that one of the end that's going
to happen, the judge of death. It talks about that in Revelations,
and then I also talks down ina bottle. So when we're gonna talk
about this mortible, he rooted nineverse twenty seventeen as an appointment for alls,

(26:12):
So we're gonna talk out that alittle bit too. Him in second
Saying, chapter fourteen and verse fourteen, it says, before we must needs
die and are as waters still dona grid which cannot begether. Do again,
neither doth God respect any person?Yet does he despised? Means that

(26:38):
his bandage be not expelled from him. Now you think about that verse it
says, it's like we're quote,we're caught out water on a ground I
poured out. I ain't gonna beable together back ever, the just thain't
going out. Now. He'll goback up into the sky and will come
back his water. That's true,but I can't get it back that good.

(27:04):
And it says, O God respectin person. He says that expressly
in several places in the bibble.That's what I was looking up on my
phone as worn another. I forgot it if you look at ast.
Chapter ten says in chapter ten andverse thirty four says Peter opened his mouth

(27:26):
and said, I'm a truth.I perceive that God has no respect of
persons, and that in Romans chaptertwo, in verse eleven, it says,
for there is no respect of personswith God, and that it causes
chapter three, in verse twenty fivethat says, but he that doeth grow
shall receive for the grow which hehath done. There is no respect of

(27:51):
persons. He doesn't respect the personof me. He doesn't. He doesn't
look for me as it's special person, just because I can preach. He
doesn't look at me as a specialperson because I have a little money,
or I may have something different thansomebody else. No, he expects me
to do exactly what he told meto doing the word of God. If

(28:15):
I do that, and do itnow at this time, I'm accepted to
him. No one will know this, and not only will it will be
the same as everybody Else's no differentthan anybody else. And I'm not no
big e or a little news wetalk about. But he expects the same

(28:36):
thing for every lords obedience. InFirst Peter chapter one, in verse twenty
two through twenty tho and says,seeing me ever purifies your souls and obeys
the truth through the spirit an unfamedlove of the brother. See that you

(28:56):
love one doesn't with the pure heart. Furtherly being born end of incorruptible seed,
but of incorrounible by the word ofGod, which liveth and about it
forever for all flashes us grass andthe glory our man as the flower of
grass, the grass that it andthe flower of our own falls away.

(29:18):
But the word of the Lord,and do it forever. And this is
the word which by the Gospel ispreached on the ed that we talked about
that being as the flower of thegrass. It says here in the New
Testament, just like it didn't thehold that the flower of glass, it
fades away with f a fade away. But he says the word of love incorrect.
