We're going to die. But what about this? You just don't get it. I make $100,000 a week, and I count on that $100,000 a week. And in the evening, my toaster will finally be... We have come on men that are pastured, motivated by men and money. We have turned our money upon those, and rather motivated by love." Oh, Benedict, this makes me look sick, on a quote. Benedict, unlike other great monastic business of his time, did not found a monastic institution whose principal aim was the evangelization of the barbarian peoples. He points out to his followers the search for God as the monumental, and indeed, one and only aim of life, wherever they fail to defeat God.
[01:05]
He worked, however, to turn the delinear engine into a profound relationship with force. He carved in his heads the relationship with life, under the guise of a linearistic ethic and a superficial rejection theory. In this light, one is unyielding to such a distraction, that one needs to learn to shake things in and from up in his soul. the much program of life. We feel our most Christian, like Ponderay, prefer nothing to the love of Christ. Holiness consists of this, a sound proposal for every Christian that has become a real and urgent personal need in our times, when we feel the need to add life and history to sound spiritual references." End of quote. and that she was converted to 16th in an angiosarcoma presentation in July 2005.
[02:09]
Regarding the latest update, no one says there is a richest being or person in this which separates from God and leads to hell, but there is a good being or person which separates from evil and leads to God's everlasting life. explaining the good feel which longs for special inspiration. Norman explains his definition of feel. It would be a more supernatural feel, one in which the earnings provide the ghost's honor, leaving his tenuous and bold teeth interesting on. and that is one of the obstacles. And he develops this further. To be loyal is not merely to obey, but to obey with positive energy, ludicrously, is interested devotion to the God consequently. And lust is still a question to be entertained with that reverential feeling which is due from a creature and a sinner for wanting to make love.
[03:19]
towards give and load. It is the main principle in all religious service to love God above all things. Now here is to love Him above all men, above our dearest and most intimate friends. Know that it is the supremely important place that God should take in our lives. Loosening others with warm affections, perhaps for their families, with benevolent feelings towards their fellow men, yet stopping there, finishing their hearts on what is drawn to fail them, a theme perishable. Life passes, riches by way of emotions is becoming, the senses decay, the world changes, friends die, One alone is conscience.
[04:21]
One alone is true to us. One alone can be all things to us. No, to my ears, we are Christ, not by faith merely or by works merely, but by love. The Lord shall have us. Let them forsook nothing whatsoever to Christ, and may he bring us all together to everlasting life. I am not of love for God as individuals. All of us want to love God, and all of us want to love God more. And what I'd like to teach you that day, really, He tells us how we can do that, and doesn't just tell us academically, he tells us in practical ways. He recognises the real weakness of our humanity. Remember this type first.
[05:22]
I suppose the greater number of persons who try to live Christian life and who observe themselves with any care are disappointed by it with their own instinct on this point, that whatever their religious attainments may be, yet they feel that their notion is not a higher, that the love of God and of man for his sake is not their ruling principle. They make calls themselves as calls or hard-hearted, or fickle, or double-minded, or judging, or being spiteful, or weak in resolve, but they mean pretty much the same thing, that their affections do not rest on the most God as their great object. And this will be the chance to be the place of relief then among ourselves, not there in others. Their reason and their hearts not going together.
[06:25]
Their reason sinking head first, and their hearts earth first. We must know that the enabled help of God is not merely confined to us as individuals, but is also of evidence and humility. He then has this comment about purity, and knowledge and complete love is shown in our tenderness to the integral, chaining thirst with trifles. Why is it that we are so open to the power of the Christ-lovers? Why is it that we are looking out for normalcy? Why is it that we complain of events of violence in our religious life? Why is it that we can't bear to go in an ordinary round of duty near our career? Why is it that we use powerful preaching or interesting or touching books
[07:29]
in order to keep our thoughts and feelings of God. Clearly, because they are deficient in love. He, in his heart, cares little for anything else. The world may go as it wills, he thinks and fears it not, but his thoughts have drawn another way. He is beneficent mainly to be with God and to be found with God, and is in perfect peace because he stays in him. But how do we overcome our lack of love for God? Remember that God is detached from us, detached from the comforts of life. So we, in a certain sense, As soon as I rose from my body, our minds were locked in a state to refuse divine impressions and to exert heavenly aspirations.
[08:33]
A smooth and tingly life, an uninterrupted enjoyment of the books of Providence, Paul Mills, Scott Ravens, Martha E. Tones, The Tales of Templin, Her Stealing of Intuition, The Coggins of Netherworld, He and the Light, if they are not careful, Choked up all the aphidians of their home, Who in the light and red of Saturn might come to our aid. Our third lie is an act not a certain method of becoming spiritually minded, but it is one of the means by which Almighty God made us known. We must at least, at least, record our thoughts of nature if we would not be recorded by faith. If we attempt to forge our minds into a loving and devotional temper without this preparation, it is too late in what will follow.
[09:37]
The grossness and hoarseness, the apprehension, The unreality and trivulsion of tolerance in a world where the purport of hypocrisy is being seen around us. The extent of why we wish to reason, who, what we should do, and the conscience we join in it, and the hard thing I've beaten to it, far more unrepresentative makeup, my way of compromise, that can then say, Peter, Peter, when there is no Peter. I've given a number of quotes in the course when we say I was a selectional marketing group. So you will be soon hearing that not necessarily quite anything ordinary, but what we've just heard is actually the truth of it. Really I think our lives are too comfortable for us to not be interested in God. One of the ways in which we can actually be concentrating on God is when we have a hard life.
[10:41]
But the reality is that the lowest of life is life in the world. And that's what's proved by those religions. We know that in each and every one of these coven zones, we know that we're going to have teaching and rights, and we'll be cared for by our brothers, to our little dead, to our child. So it's not really a hard life. It's a hard life that's coming on the way. that loving-sounded material comforts, and that's one of the things that actually acts as a barrier to us being fully devoted to God. So it wasn't a mere distractionist step to help us breathe in and out of God, but a spiritual preparation of the heart while still kissing one another's forehead. Now the picture in the cellar, which otherwise was subdued from sense, a constant sense of the love of your Lord and Saviour in dying on the cross for you. The love of Christ, says the Apostle, could stay in us.
[11:46]
Not that Christ would leave us to die when there is no sympathy, but as all knows, we often reproach ourselves with not loving someone who has loved us. but where hearts are in their degree renewed after Christ's image, there only His grace, mercy due to Him, will increase our love of Him, and we shall be joyous in that procedure which has been made great for us. No significance. In this day, Christ has no implied intellect or reputation for philosophy, being a delusional voice in which Satan is now alluring. Many spirits are abhorred. More are issuing from the pit. The credentials that they display are the precious gifts of mind, beauty, richness, depth, originality. Christians look hard at them. and I will be the Prince of the Nails.
[12:48]
In other words, we're supposed to focus on the cross, but not on it. Not on the things that we surround the cross with. We have to have destruction in it, and we have to wear the envy, which will wear everything down. What we need to be trained for as well is, if we can cross, and we're likely to cross, we should receive the Prince of the Nails. We need to bear the cross, for I discern it in our sins, not in words, and we will be touched by the fullness of Christ far more by bearing it unto him than by glowing accounts in it. We need to think of the crucified. Think of the Christ when you rise and when you lie down, when you go out and when you come in, when you eat, other than his work, other than his concerns, whether he's by or within himself, whether he's able or in regret, only his patience and his feeling all are due to this one central question, the thought of the truth he finds.
[14:01]
How many of us actually put a piece of coin in the quarter as everything else? Keep quiet. Do not talk of it to others. Be silent like a tenacious woman who stores her love in deep, but curious acts. She stood at her feet behind him, weeping, and began to wipe his tears with a tear, and he'd wipe them with the tear of her head, and if his feet had anointed them with ointment, as Christ said of her, those things which are many are forgiven her, for she loves him much. But if you're a little bit fatigued, the pain is not as little. As often as it's hard, life actually takes the very same lesson which this world teaches to those who live long in it. There are much big spirits in it, who know it. The world is a sweeping mess, but good enough to live in. Reflecting on time in other people's family,
[15:09]
And further, this is a full offering upon those who have manifested to us and to our residents, which are the consequences of the returning of John Adams, the withdrawal of the Council, the longness of this race towards us, the age we have about to face, the absence we have accorded to our plan. Then to stop there, Living is fine, and one of the ways to learn to love God more is to think of his previous life. I'm going to remember the last time I got to tell my daily Christian news. Some of you will be able to say, oh yeah, this morning we just did that, did we not? Oh my God, we made it, did we not? But most of us forget. And I say that because I've come across two little boys. And in each case, the person needs to present their experience in the medical. And I'm going to give you, I'm going to give you some of the references for instance.
[16:14]
For instance, the word inarticulate, for I know you all know a lot about this. And then what I'm going to tell you is, let's begin writing it. It's a health notebook, and write down at any time that you've got a history of a kind of racial, optimist, bad, amusement, or small, Even the time I need, I'll be at the door. And by the time I'm up, you've got one of the sun's out, and you've got the guardian angel to wake you up. Why is it all down? Because I can't sleep. I'm not going to remember anything. And the day will come when you'll sit back and think, Lord, what did you do to me? And you'll look back in that moment and say, what? I'm just raised to obey, by day, by day, in different ways. Let this end up with two miracles. When I first came into the arts community, one of the citizens was just ahead of me in the list yet. She'd been a missionary out in Kazakhstan a few years. She was always my student. he managed to get a call officially and he came to the first in Britain to work in Christian but he came in a group of faiths in terms of religious life and left the religion to go to a bench community which was in the early 50s and he joined the army militia or the late 40s, a bit older than most of us in the militia.
[17:32]
During the militia he was doing well and he ended up having hospital tests and at age 12 they found out that unfortunately he'd got advanced colon cancer And the result is for it, that she's been allergic to her colon, and she's had a colostomy. She was a nurse, she's been additionally led, but she may not be what was led. But just before she was actually led to hospital for these operations, she was acknowledged by the convicts' chapters. Our person was the then-convict, and by all chances, this woman approached to her, and she came and set the arranging. And that's what happened. It's all very noticeable. But she's wrong, because the thing in the shackle that they were trying to solve was part of the enlarging. She knew how big it was going to be, she just felt it. Very often, though, they do the shackle before the operation, and they can't find any tools that can help her. They don't know what's going to work. For this surgeon, there's nothing for me to operate on until I've got to help her. It discharges her, and it's going to come back in exactly the same time, so they need to just make sure that
[18:38]
he doesn't have the excitement to do it. And yes, no cancer. And that's how I've been home for 5 years. On the 6th year, he said, I'm going to just discharge him, because they're constantly carrying me home. I can't understand this. And I know you're in love, but I still don't understand it. But here you are, and it's all down to champagne, because I'll never come across this before, he said. So 5 years on, I'm sick here in Christchurch. I didn't even know what was going on, she didn't say anything, we just thought it was a miracle like that, we all know about it, but you know lots of women need to discover it sometimes. The second time I saw her, she did tell me something about it, she didn't tell me anything, she just thought it was odd to me. What you need to know is that she was very young, you know, 22. But as a youngster, as a child, she'd been born with congenital condition which meant that eventually she would have a hunchback. So they had to put fingers in her back and do various operations to straighten her back.
[19:42]
But it meant she was left with one leg shorter than the other. So literally one leg was significantly shorter than the other. And so they had to develop special shoes and thumbs which were built up. And it's quite noticeable that it wouldn't be legible in a habit. So whenever she needed to use two little handlers, she had to go across them to get rid of it. This is a method that these specialised artists found on their shoes, but otherwise looked to me like quite normal. One morning, after lunch, she comes to me with a bit of hope. I can't walk, my foot's gone. And I know that something seems to have come to my leg. It seems to have thrown in the light. And now I can't walk because my shoes have blocked from the fact that they're shorter, so it gives me a groin and it's almost like I'm going to tell a mistake. So I said, did you change? And she said, no. So I said, can we walk to the water system? She said, I'll give you something. So she went to the water system, we sent her to the doctor via the shop to get a pair of ordinary sandals, which initially now couldn't walk.
[20:43]
because like it fitted her. So she goes to the doctor and they have to apply it to her and they've got all her records. And they do more x-rays and they say there's something wrong with this machine. They then do it again. They do it all over again. And it's still something wrong with the machine because according to the machine it's now tearing her and having two legs exactly the same length. And according to the doctor who did it, that's impossible. It can't be thrown. They've got initiatives. locked into a unit and locked overnight and it's incredible. It can't happen. But that's what they're selling on the x-rays. So they have no choice but to discharge her, throw away all those shoes, and they have to dig around in to no where holding a set of sandals, shoes, all the new shoes. So she phoned this colleague, she's very young, she's in her twenties, she's very young, and she told her parents, you're not going to leave this, but I've got a miracle, my legs are now the same length. And her mother said, when did this happen?
[21:45]
And she said, well I woke up on this day in the morning. And her mother said, We had the same life, we had the parents move over. They were asking Tony what was wrong with being a nun, and we were only having a few children together. And someone was trying to train you, and before they knew what was happening, they were having a conviction, training you on health, the net, and everything. And someone was just trying to say, Lord, you know, we know you should have this form of reservation, you're trained. Lord, play her, grow that leg, do, do, do, do. I mean, I've never thought anything more about shit than anything I'm telling you. Well, clearly, those prayers have been answered that early night, so the next morning when she came to me and said, oh my goodness, my leg's grown. Now, I've told you that, but that isn't clearly the moral at all. Now, once later, the same logic is then coming up to me, saying, oh, you know what, I'll do it myself, do not just care about me, care about everybody else, and then, oh, I'm not doing anything. And what are you talking about?
[22:47]
How do you not have a miracle that they can write books about, that's got all the medical documentation about? You haven't done a miracle! And how do you save yourselves from aging views? Oh dear. Oh dear, she said. It's so ridiculous that a person who's had such a dear miracle, can think that I don't mind. God does nothing for me. He doesn't care about me. He's so ignorant and lonely. He says, but not me. And that's a little attitude. And that's why I say, rush it down. Because it's funny that there are two people who've had real miracles. Heartbreak Lover. How are we, who have little, um, incidents in everyday things to be able to really, um, be grateful to God and accept that God does care about us, and does love us, um, and create that peace in us and help us under it? We are able to explore that as a little one.
[23:48]
This might not be typical. It's not as local as such, but it's extraordinary. One day, I was asked to preach on a Catholic Bennett TV programme. for a school, an evening service at a school. But I've always wanted to get away from Scotland and I've never been to that part of the country before. So I found a map, a little page before I got there. I found a map, but shortly before I leaved in the evening, I asked for my help with it. I went and helped her, looked at the camera, and ran off, jumped into the car and just rode. Just when I got to the top of that horse, I'm here to tell you I'm lost. I am lost. I'm lost over here. I'm going to get there in England, since I'm the only one on the road. I'm not sure if you've read this, perhaps you should have seen it, but I can't. I forgot it, and I rushed to get out.
[24:50]
I didn't see it, and now... Well, I mean, I knew I was down there, and I didn't know where I was going, but all I could do was keep going straight. I kept going straight, to the point where I reached, uh, at the heat of it, and then I said, Guide me. Please guide me. I don't know any different now, so I'm actually going to listen. I'm actually going to go either left or right. I'm going to try to. I'm trying. He says, Lorne, I have not done anything wrong in this box. I'm sure you can send me an angel. Thankfully, there was no traffic behind me. Okay, a bit harder because I was working on the day before his death. Lord, send me an angel! Where is that angel, Lord? Just then, a minibus drove past with the name of the Lord I'm just going to, I'm not even crying, but whatever. I'm not going to say hello to him, I'm going to say to. They said, thank you, Lord.
[25:51]
No, I asked, No launch, if it's going to launch the spawn, or I'm going to launch the spawn, and I literally did that, I thought, what am I doing? You page, you launch the launcher, the launcher's going to enter in the shape of a zebra, because it's red and not owl-red, to spawn the duck. Well it did, and it took me to the spawn. So when I got there, I changed my sermon, obviously you incorporate that in the sermon, and you had this pixel going, and I was like, I can't! No one got on the minibus, and there was this large following of us in a car, because every time the minibus came in, put a boat on it right now, I had to, because I didn't know where I was going, and I was following them. But that was an occasion where the Lord answered my prayers, but in a very low key, no personal access, but low key way. And the next time I sat down, the next day from Monday, I thought, gosh, answer our prayers, day in, day out.
[26:52]
The human ability to come into the spirit of love by reflecting on past lovings is by such deep and hot thoughts that our acquisitions, our intentions, our prayers, our iniquities of love, all become in synch with the spirit of love. Then we should evocate thankfully and joyfully to this image in us. We can dare not to look on the world's future, for we have no parts for it. We are not just servants at its crown, for we have not carried a smile on it. We rejoiced in the house of prayer, because we were there when my whole heart ached. We are patient in the reasons, adversities or pains, but they are time-consuming. Wonder and wonder, love clearly does not consist merely in great sacrifices. We can take no comfort merely on the grounds of great things or great sufferings.
[27:55]
The greatest sacrifices in our lives would be worth nothing, and that they are great does not necessarily prove that they are done with us. I was going to tell a particular story, but Robert, at the end, told me yesterday it was quite the different form. I'd like to share a different story. If you look at the notes and think, well, why does that not happen with what he said, that's alright. This one is especially for you. A young man who was very excited because he had just won a ticket to the Super Bowl. His excitement lessened as he realised his feet were at the back of the stadium. As he searched for those ahead of him for a better seat, he found an empty one right next to the field. He approached the man sitting next to the empty seat and asked if it would keep him. The man replied, no. Amazed! The young one asked, who would ever want to have a seat like this?
[29:02]
The older gentleman responded, that's my wife's seat. We've been to every Superbowl together since the day we were married. This is correct away. I was all sad, the man said. I'm sorry to hear that. But couldn't you find a friend or relative to come with you? No, Mr. Niner says. They're all not just humans. We need to fulfil our own human duties. Humans exchange the divine attributes with the human race, but they're all free with God. I am sure that an overruling project will turn all to dust if we act up to our own security and our global responsibilities which lie before us. No one has used a paternal explanation of things we voted to do good.
[30:05]
They watch and wait for their lord, who are tender and sensitive in their emotions towards them, to see the result of them, having understood, lived in this trial, and tries to dwell under his palace. They ask him to reveal his incaptured mind, promised by his owners. They see from the earth's end a spectre of him in another realm, and amidst all the thralls, the incest, and the vespers of this life, they will feel an awful joy. Would you have a purpose, they fear, that he was on the brink of coming? We will only trust in Jesus, who are you? The Master and the Father of the Church, Bishop Emmanuel Stockton, he can launch a new athletic competition, having lost one knee, and they're just two shows. I can't believe it. [...]
[31:09]
I can't believe it. [...] I can't believe it This is the first time I've ever been to one of these new facilities. It's hard for me to believe that we're actually opening a new facility. It's amazing. It's one of the first facilities I've ever been to. I know there's a thousand things that have been said so. It's hard for me to believe that we're actually opening a new facility. It's hard for me to believe that we're actually opening a new facility. Please help the victims. I'm not the killer. I'm just a boy. I'm an islander. I've been exposed to violence, [...] I'm going to be honest with you, this is completely intolerable. When this fire starts, I don't want you to talk about it. I can hardly hear you. Originally, this was meant to be violent, but you know, you will hear from me later, and I want you to get used to this violence, because it's finally finished.
[32:12]
Now I know that it's completely finished. This is the least I can do, and it's the last I will do. The most exciting and inspiring of the story we've done. The music is a classic work. The music is a harsh experiment. It's ready to be re-enacted and re-explored. Re-explored [...] and re- My dear friends, there's an interesting and interesting phenomenon that can often be confusing to many. It has to do with the movement of a region of time between anti-history, but now I think it's interesting, interesting, new information. I'll give you a quick start. We used to think of space as a huge planet, but we think of it as a small, tiny planet, and it's very strange.
[33:16]
It's very, very peculiar. lost his interest in what he was doing for his life. I'm saying it not as a joke here, but as a sign of his willingness to do the things he wants to do, doing what he wants, and he's done it, and he'll do it, and he'll do it. Things are off and going for him, and he's doing it, and he'll do it, and he's doing it, and he'll do [...] And this means this place is gone. There's no place for this place anymore. The walls are nearly top-level. I think the same thing is with the building that you've been at. I'm speechless for the rest of it. There is nothing more to write. What I think is the most remarkable thing about the building is that it's the highest building I've ever seen in a building. I've got the experience of being in a building where everyone knows what the building is like.
[34:18]
We're all living in the building. That's why I'm very, [...] very proud of it. Thank you.
