19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. 26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this. Everyone
should be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to
become angry, because human anger does not produce righteousness that
God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral heelth and
(00:58):
the evil that is so prevalent in humbling and humbling,
except the word planted in you, which can save you.
Do not merely listen to the word and so deceived yourselves.
(01:20):
What it is, it says. Anyone who listens to the
word but does not do what it says, is like
someone who looks at the face in the mirror, and
after looking at himself, goes away immediately and forgets what
(01:42):
he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect
law and gives freedom and continues in it now only
forgetting what they have heard, but what they're doing, they
will be blessed in what they do. Those who consider
(02:08):
themselves religious and yet do not keep tight the rein
of the tongues of their tongues to see themselves and
their religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts
(02:30):
has pure and flawless. Is though, is this to look
after orphans and in widows in their distress and to
keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Now that's
(02:54):
a little bit of an interesting reading. There goes back
and forth a little bit. But in essence, if you're
going to speak the word of God, then you must
live by the word of God. But remember that the
(03:20):
word of God is one inclusive, does not exclude those
who may may or may not have sainned. That is
not for us to judge. It also means that you
(03:42):
offer love no matter what it isn't for us to judge.
And thus, while we're judging that we take love away
from someone and tell them and shun them from our community.
(04:04):
If someone falls, lift them up, help them back to
their feet, brush the dirt off of them, and help
them move forward. Again, leading back to this whole thing
of anger. I I've actually watched this brothers and sisters
(04:29):
pulled apart because they're angry over one event. You go
back and you ask them what the event was or
why it angered them, and sometimes they can't even remember why,
but they're still angry about it. Will he hurt me,
(04:49):
release the hurt. Welcome to forgiveness. Okay, there are going
to be some instances where it's going to be really
hard to you trust, so be careful about what you
do to people. These are the things that God wants
us to do. He wants us to by getting rid
(05:14):
of the moral filth. It doesn't mean you're always going
to do the right thing. It doesn't always mean that
you're going to succeed in doing the right thing, but
at least you're trying. And it isn't for us to
say as human beings that you did or didn't do
(05:36):
the right thing. It is us as human beings to
help you pick yourself back up again when you stumble.
God can judge rather you did or you didn't do
the right thing. It isn't for us to jug much.
(06:02):
So when we look at at religions or should we say,
religious organizations that condemn people and say that people are
(06:22):
going to hell, there's something wrong there. You need to
reassess what it is that they're saying. You need to
think about do you want to continue on with them
as a religious organization. Someone boasted on social media that
(06:50):
religious religion fails to stop fascism. No, I'm going to
disagree with that. Religion does not fail to stop fascism
because religion always in the end teaches us to love.
(07:15):
All religions say that it doesn't matter if you're following Christianity,
It doesn't matter that you're following Judaism or Islam or
whatever other phaiths are going to be in our world.
(07:37):
If they are true to what God wants us to do,
then they're going to teach us to love. So fascism
teaches us to hate. It is a whole system of hatred.
(08:03):
Stop those who aren't like you, and, at whatever cause
or means, because you're so afraid of them, bully those
to be conformative to what it is that you want.
That is fascism. Religions don't teach that. Religious organizations twist
(08:31):
the words, the words of love. They twist the words
that you're hearing here to cleanse ourselves of sin and
say that if that person over there doesn't cleanse themselves
as sin right away, well they're not one of us
and they need to be brushed aside. It goes a
(08:54):
step beyond that and starts telling us how we're supposed
to judge because you're not being like the rest of us.
True religion, true spirituality, truly following in the footsteps of Jesus,
following the word of God means that you see your brother,
(09:23):
your brother human, he took a wrong step. Now you're
helping him. You find yourself helping him back to the
right step. That's what this is all about. Fascism would
(09:47):
have you toss him over. The love of God would
have you help him back on board. Listen to the
word of God and it will always lead you to
the loving path. Listen to what they're saying, and you'll
(10:15):
fall over every time, every last one of us will
fall off into the depths of what they're saying. Hell
is some of the other things that I actually hear
on social media because you know, I'm posting things up
there trying to get people to love each other more
(10:37):
and more, trying to teach people that the Word of
God is about loving each other. The Word of God
is when it says righteousness, it means righteousness because love
has been delivered. God's love has been delivered. Okay, so
(11:08):
we see people posting up there, Well, if I do this,
do you think I'll look better? Do I become more desirable?
You only have to worry about being desirable to two
beings in this universe, one God, two yourself, God, wants
(11:44):
you to love yourself. He doesn't want you to worry
about everyone else around you loving you because his well one,
his directive is that we're supposed to love each other,
love and be kind to each other. That is that.
(12:07):
It is that simple. So when you see people who
or say, oh, well, am I too fat to be loved?
Or am I to this? Or am I to that?
Or am I not enough of this? Or am I
not enough of that? Reach out to them and say
(12:31):
God loves you. Tell them that God loves you just
the way you are, just the way you want to be.
It doesn't matter your size, it doesn't matter any of
(12:57):
any of those physical things. That's they're speaking. That's the
fascist corporation speaking, not God. God doesn't care about that.
He only cares about what is in your spirit. Now,
I'm going to end this with with one last thing,
(13:20):
and then we'll have a prayer. This is probably one
of the best things I've ever seen. It was a
meme and it said that there was two drawings, and
the first drawing says, oh where did you find that?
(13:44):
I've been looking for it all over the place, And
the second drawing says, I made it myself and The
second drawing is holding a jar that says happiness. For
(14:11):
those of you who who aren't actually catching on, what
the mem is saying is you can't search for happiness,
you can only make it yourself. One of the best
ways to start making your happiness yourself is to follow
(14:31):
the word of God. Listen to what he has to say,
and you will be able to make happiness yourself because
you are filled with his love. Lord, help us to
(14:58):
listen to your word, listen and act on your love.
Not just simply listen listen here emptily and do nothing.
Help us to open our souls, open our heart, open
our spirits to your love, so that we not only
(15:26):
see and hear your word, that we also act with
your word. That we act with the love that you
want us to have all the time, that you act
with the love that you want us to share around
the world. That we act in a way that we
become the instruments that that spreads your love around the universe,
(15:52):
around the what you have created, to all those that
you have created, no matter how big, no small, how
grand or humble, no matter color or no rather they
(16:18):
look exactly like us or not, that we reach out
to all those beings with your love, humbly offering it
to each other, so that your spirit can fill our hearts,
(16:42):
so we can make our lives happy with your love,
your spirit, your direction. Amen,
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this. Everyone
should be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to
become angry, because human anger does not produce righteousness that
God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral heelth and
(00:58):
