28 00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:03.800 Have you ever heard of Him before, the rich young ruler? 29 00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:09.480 Now you have to read all of the gospels to get the understanding that He's rich, He's 30 00:02:09.480 --> 00:02:11.560 young, and He has authority. 31 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.480 There's not one gospel that says He's a rich young ruler. 32 00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:16.800 You got to read them all about the same guy. 33 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.760 This guy appears in three of the gospels. 34 00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:26.840 He's wealthy, listen girls, He's wealthy, He's young, and He has authority. 35 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.840 Oh, if I could just find one of those. 36 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.760 Well, this guy had no room in his heart for anyone else except what he wanted and that 37 00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:41.200 was his wealth, his youth, and his power. 38 00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:47.840 And he comes running to Jesus and he says, good master, good master, what must I do to inherit 39 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:48.840 eternal life? 40 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.960 And Jesus gives him elements of the law. 41 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:51.960 Remember that? 42 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.320 You need to do this, you need to do this, you need to do this. 43 00:02:54.320 --> 00:02:57.480 And Jesus has set him now, set him the guy up completely. 44 00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:04.440 As the guy counters Jesus and says, all these things you speak of, I've done since my youth. 45 00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:07.320 So clearly ladies, this is not the guy you want to meet. 46 00:03:07.320 --> 00:03:11.720 He's an idol in his own mind, he's a legend in his own mind, he's quite impressed with 47 00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:13.600 himself. 48 00:03:13.600 --> 00:03:19.520 Jesus then turns him and says, and he goes after his idols. 49 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:25.360 But Jesus qualifies and he says, why do you come to me and call me good? 50 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.560 Jesus is only one good and that is God. 51 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.280 Jesus was actually trying to provoke the man to confession. 52 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:37.600 What would have been awesome is for the young man to say, I called you good master because 53 00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:41.680 it's obvious that you alone are God in skin. 54 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.440 It's clear who you are. 55 00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:46.920 You're the manifest word of God, but he didn't do that. 56 00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:54.320 The Bible says he wound up leaving and walking away from Jesus because he loved what he had. 57 00:03:54.320 --> 00:03:56.280 The word good is reserved for God alone. 58 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.600 Now you and I live in a culture, we can't even relate to that. 59 00:03:59.600 --> 00:04:04.680 We say our tacos were good. 60 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.600 That's good, the other thing's good. 61 00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:14.560 The old English, by the way, remember how the old English used to spell like goodbye, 62 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.360 G-O-O-D-B-Y-E, right? 63 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.080 Things like that, spelling, old English, listen. 64 00:04:21.080 --> 00:04:24.720 And we say good morning, did anybody say good morning to you this morning? 65 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.800 Did you say good morning to anybody? 66 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:32.080 You know what you were saying, according to the ancients, God be with you this morning. 67 00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:34.160 That's what good morning means. 68 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:35.160 Good afternoon. 69 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.560 Good afternoon means God be with or God be in your afternoon. 70 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:45.200 Tonight when you lay down and you say good night to somebody, God be in your night. 71 00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:46.920 That's what it means. 72 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.160 But we've lost touch with that, right? 73 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:54.560 So when we say good morning, good night, good master, God is good. 74 00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:03.360 Technically, God is good because good is the manifestation of God's nature. 75 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:10.960 And the Bible says, just to make it clear, there is none good, no, not one. 76 00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:12.600 That's why we need Him. 77 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.840 So as we look to this church, mark it down if you would, verse four, we learn this, 78 00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:22.000 that we as believers, how are we to be regarding the goodness of God? 79 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.720 We're to be the opposite of the world. 80 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.480 And that means we are to be thankful believers. 81 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.120 Can you write that down? 82 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:32.720 Thinkful believers, Christians, thankful believers. 83 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:37.600 Now the opportunity is increasing every day for you and I to be thankful believers, 84 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.280 please hear me. 85 00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:45.600 You've been tempted this week, I know, we have been bombarded with people telling us 86 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:52.320 their story and what's happening with their schools, with their employment, 87 00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:58.200 in the military, medicine, union. 88 00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:03.800 And you're being told, if you don't take the shot, you're going to be fired. 89 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.680 And so we're talking to attorneys and we have an exemption form. 90 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.960 I don't know if you know that or not, but we have a religious exemption form 91 00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:13.520 on our website that you can download and print out and people are doing that. 92 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.720 We have two different versions of that and I don't know, call me dumb, 93 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:25.040 but I thought religious exemption, you should be able to get from a church. 94 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:30.160 But some churches don't think that they should issue religious exemptions. 95 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.040 So what? 96 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:37.560 It is our First Amendment right as Americans, you should know that. 97 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:42.000 And Paul the Apostle, if he lived today, he would exercise his First Amendment right? 98 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:47.240 How do we know? Because he exercised his Roman rights to advance the gospel. 99 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.640 But in this case, your livelihood is at stake. 100 00:06:49.640 --> 00:06:56.080 I had somebody to tell me this weekend, two days ago, that 33 years of working for a certain 101 00:06:56.080 --> 00:07:00.200 global corporation, they were threatened by that corporation that they were going to lose 102 00:07:00.200 --> 00:07:04.600 so much percentage in pay and that their pension was going to be reduced. 103 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.600 The retirement was going to be punished if they didn't comply. 104 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.560 Now that is against the law on anybody's book. 105 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.720 So I reached out to an attorney and I said, hey, this guy I know is being attacked. 106 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.040 What do you say about this? And he said, you know where we're at? 107 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.920 This is where we're at. 108 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.360 He said, in any other world, this would be completely illegal. 109 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:34.320 But now it appears we have no rights any longer as we once enjoyed. 110 00:07:34.320 --> 00:07:40.120 You say, how does that relate to this message this way? 111 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.640 We need to be thankful believers. 112 00:07:43.640 --> 00:07:46.120 The reason, listen, the Bible tells us to be thankful, why? 113 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.480 Because there's the temptation to be unthankful. 114 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:55.240 Listen, to be a thankful believer is to look around at the world that's imploding in 115 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.200 every direction, which way you look around it doesn't matter. 116 00:07:58.200 --> 00:08:02.400 And we need to choose to be thankful. 117 00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:07.280 The moment you and I start to grumble and gripe and complain, we are literally grumbling 118 00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:09.880 and gripping and complaining against God. 119 00:08:09.880 --> 00:08:11.080 And you're not going to want to do that. 120 00:08:11.080 --> 00:08:18.440 You'll see in a while in a moment, thankful, thankful to be thankful as a choice. 121 00:08:18.440 --> 00:08:20.160 You have to choose to do that. 122 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.640 God is good, when is God good, all the time. 123 00:08:23.640 --> 00:08:26.240 Then when should I be thankful, always? 124 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.560 The Bible says that we're to be thankful in every situation. 125 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.840 But my mother died or my son died or my dog died. 126 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:33.840 We understand this. 127 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.720 Life, and it hurts. 128 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.800 But because God is on his throne and he knows what he's doing, we don't. 129 00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:46.440 We lean on him and we give him thanks because he knows and he cares. 130 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:51.600 He's the one that is unpacking all of this in life. 131 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.200 And let me tell you something. 132 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.640 You're not going to get this on media, you're not going to get this on Wikipedia, and you're 133 00:08:56.640 --> 00:08:58.880 not going to get this on a snowsurf. 134 00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:00.720 Fact checkers. 135 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.680 There's people, I watched it, I watched it. 136 00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:10.640 There's people, the Christians are being exterminated in Afghanistan. 137 00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:12.720 And they're going to their death, the reporter. 138 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:17.280 I believe the reporter was from India reading the subtitles, video going. 139 00:09:17.280 --> 00:09:21.880 These Christians this week in Afghanistan, these are not Americans. 140 00:09:21.880 --> 00:09:27.920 These are Afghan-born-again believers who are quietly with grandma, grandpa, child, 141 00:09:27.920 --> 00:09:33.280 mom and dad, quietly walking to their slaughter. 142 00:09:33.280 --> 00:09:37.360 No, they're not screaming, freaking out and running around. 143 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:44.360 And the woman reporter in the subtitles and she says, and they're singing songs to their 144 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.840 death. 145 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.080 And you look, and you look up in American media, this is not true, it's not true, of course 146 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.080 it's not true. 147 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.800 It makes certain political leaders in power and not look good. 148 00:09:54.800 --> 00:10:01.720 My point is this, if they can be singing songs as families marching to their death like 149 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:09.880 it's Auschwitz, 21st century, then the loudest praise and worship ought to be coming from 150 00:10:09.880 --> 00:10:15.280 a free people who sit in comfort in Southern California. 151 00:10:15.280 --> 00:10:22.200 We have no excuse, God is so good to us. 152 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.440 All that's going on in this state and all the things that are happening and the incredible 153 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:33.680 homelessness and all the filth and the ugliness, we should be thankful, because I'll tell you 154 00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:34.680 what, be thankful. 155 00:10:34.680 --> 00:10:41.520 Heaven doesn't look like the 405 freeway. 156 00:10:41.520 --> 00:10:45.640 Heaven doesn't look like South Central. 157 00:10:45.640 --> 00:10:52.080 Heaven doesn't look like downtown LA or San Francisco, you got to be thankful for that. 158 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.000 And God, this world is not our home, but we're here for now, and we need to be a thankful 159 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.000 people. 160 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.200 The world might sit up and ask us, what's with you, you're thankful, you just, you 161 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.760 bowed your head there and you guys prayed over your meal, what do you like thankful about, 162 00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:09.040 thankful for our meal, thankful for our ability to eat it. 163 00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:11.200 Yeah, but you wear what's going on in the world? 164 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.640 Of course I am, that's why we're thankful. 165 00:11:14.640 --> 00:11:16.720 Right, think about that. 166 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:22.240 If they can be thankful, marching into heaven, we can be thankful, sitting down and comfort. 167 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.080 But we need to be a thankful group of believers. 168 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:29.680 And he warns us here, look at verse four, you circle the word despise. 169 00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:34.800 It says in verse four, or do you despise the riches of his goodness? 170 00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:38.840 The word despise means to think little of or lightly of. 171 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:42.800 This is a tough one for us to swallow everybody, listen carefully, this hurts. 172 00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:48.400 It means to dismiss or to be disrespectful regarding something that has been bestowed upon 173 00:11:48.400 --> 00:11:50.880 us as good. 174 00:11:50.880 --> 00:11:54.040 It means to take things for granted. 175 00:11:54.040 --> 00:11:55.520 How many of you have children hang on? 176 00:11:55.520 --> 00:12:04.360 Let me think now, how many of us have children over 13, over 12, over 13, raise your hand? 177 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:11.160 I think that's fair, over 12 or 13, maybe, over 12 or 12, by the way, Mark Twain said, when 178 00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:16.120 you have teenagers, when they reach the age of 13, he said, put your teenager into 55 179 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:23.240 gallon barrel and put a lid on it, but there's a hole in the barrel and he said, feed your 180 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.880 teenager through the hole. 181 00:12:25.880 --> 00:12:33.880 And then he said, when that teenager reaches the age of 21, seal up the hole. 182 00:12:33.880 --> 00:12:39.840 That's Mark Twain's parental book 101. 183 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:47.920 But a kid reaches a certain age when they begin to think that money falls from the sky. 184 00:12:47.920 --> 00:12:51.280 And they think there's this machine, just pull out that piece of plastic and stick it 185 00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:55.080 in the machine and the money comes out, why can't I have more money? 186 00:12:55.080 --> 00:13:01.360 And then when you try to tell them about life, they don't like you anymore. 187 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:07.440 And there's a lot that you can do, but there's one thing you cannot do anything about. 188 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:13.040 And that is when your child becomes unthinkful for what you've poured into them. 189 00:13:13.040 --> 00:13:16.480 It's the number one pain to a parent. 190 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.680 It's when that child can no longer not even think about saying thank you. 191 00:13:20.680 --> 00:13:23.580 It doesn't even enter their mind. 192 00:13:23.580 --> 00:13:24.580 What happens? 193 00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:25.580 They expect it. 194 00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:26.580 They didn't think about it. 195 00:13:26.580 --> 00:13:28.380 It's automatic. 196 00:13:28.380 --> 00:13:32.340 And for the Christian, when we have that kind of an attitude toward God, when we are 197 00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:42.500 not thankful by actual verb action, to go through the movement of thankfulness. 198 00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:47.500 Then what happens is we are actually despising the goodness of God. 199 00:13:47.500 --> 00:13:52.300 And there's not one of us in this house that would say, I don't despise his goodness. 200 00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:56.100 Let me ask you this, how thankful are you? 201 00:13:56.100 --> 00:14:00.300 Are you profusely thankful of his goodness? 202 00:14:00.300 --> 00:14:07.380 I think if we were, we'd look like a bunch of crazies. 203 00:14:07.380 --> 00:14:14.140 For service, before service, one of the security detail guys, it was so sweet. 204 00:14:14.140 --> 00:14:18.060 He's just so turned on for Jesus and he said, you know what, you know what, it's all fired 205 00:14:18.060 --> 00:14:19.060 up. 206 00:14:19.060 --> 00:14:25.100 You know what, I've noticed lately, the birds are singing louder. 207 00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:27.100 They're louder. 208 00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:28.100 So I wake up. 209 00:14:28.100 --> 00:14:30.540 They're louder at my house. 210 00:14:30.540 --> 00:14:34.700 And he said, it seems to me everything's greener. 211 00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:37.300 You know what's happening to him? 212 00:14:37.300 --> 00:14:39.800 What's happening to him is what's happening to him. 213 00:14:39.800 --> 00:14:41.620 The trees aren't greener. 214 00:14:41.620 --> 00:14:47.180 Those birds didn't say, hey, can you guys, let's turn it up. 215 00:14:47.180 --> 00:14:51.780 This guy needs a little boost. 216 00:14:51.780 --> 00:14:53.820 His heart's changing. 217 00:14:53.820 --> 00:14:56.940 Listen, that's walking with Christ. 218 00:14:56.940 --> 00:15:00.720 You get closer, the sky's bluer. 219 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.820 You get closer, the trees are greener. 220 00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:04.900 The things about God are more wonderful. 221 00:15:04.900 --> 00:15:12.100 And the things about this world from man against us, it doesn't all matter that much. 222 00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:16.060 It's remarkable, thankful believers. 223 00:15:16.060 --> 00:15:18.780 We need to be careful, we do not despise. 224 00:15:18.780 --> 00:15:23.580 Listen to Isaiah 51, this is an awesome passage and I'm wondering, you know what, are those 225 00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:27.780 Christians in Afghanistan reading this today or tonight?
