The recording has started so if you're going to resume let me just go back and share the screen PDF. All right so we are talking about the practical side you know how do we live sanctified in Christ first we said God instructs us he says I want you to possess your vessel in holiness and honor and what you hold yourself that way you know that means you're making your deliberate choices based on this that I'm holding my vessel in holiness and honor so the choices I make the yes and the no that I say to people to situations to temptations is based on this that I'm holding my vessel in holiness and honor secondly a very important key is to walk in love to walk in holiness first the Salon is 3 chapter 3 verses 12 and 13 could somebody read that these two verses for us please it's on the PDF verse the Salon in chapter 3 verse 12 and 13 please and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another to and to all just as we do to you so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints thank you now in the same episode where we just read from chapter 4 in that same episode Paul is writing to the same people it's giving men giving them another instruction he says I want you to increase in abound in love increase in abound love to one another to everybody and to walk in love so that that means why are you doing why are you walking in love so that you can be established blameless in holiness before God so I want you to see the connection you walk in love towards everybody so that you can be established as a holy person I'm blameless in holiness before God so these are connected God is love God is holy and he's saying I want you to walk in love so that you can walk in holiness how does this work well if I walk in love the Bible says you know in 1st Corinthians 13 love does not rejoice in sin love does not rejoice in iniquity so love itself is seeks for holiness it seeks for what is right or what is good before God what is pleasing to God so when we walk I was referencing 1st Corinthians 13 6 so when we walk in love towards people it enables us to walk in love in holiness before God all right so we have to think about this is what I'm doing out of love very simple question am I loving the person and you're loving the person you can be sure and when you're doing things out of love for the person you can be sure that you're gonna be walking in holiness before God because love leads us into holiness so love is forgiving love is patient love is kind all these things will cause us to walk in holiness before God now you know sometimes in some in some Christian circles the emphasis on so much on holiness there is no expression of love to the point where holiness then becomes a set of rules it becomes a set of do's and don'ts it's said becomes a set of this is right and this is wrong and there's no love for people and then you question are we emphasizing just an outward form or are we actually walking in holiness before God because if our emphasis is on you know do's and don'ts and standards but we're not loving people then we're not walking in holiness before God okay so understand the second key to walking in holiness just walk in love you will walk in holiness to what level do you will end up walking in holiness before God love is like we said first Corinthians 13 love is patient love is kind love is not boastful love is not irritable love does not keep a record of the wrongs that have been done love believes the best of every person love endures all things so this is love when you walk in love you are walking in holiness your rest being established your heart is being established in holiness before God right connected with that is that our standards choices are things that come out you know that are acceptable before God right so let's read Romans 12 verse one and two somebody could read this please for us Romans 12 one two number one I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God that you present in your bodies and live in sacrifice holy acceptable God which is your reasonable service verse two do not be conformed to this world but be transformed or that renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable imperfect will of God thank you so notice a policy present your body now we talked about holding our bodies and holiness and honor back on the same topic present your body as a living sacrifice holy pleasing to God which is your act of worship so a living sacrifice it seems you know what we say as two opposites it's living but it's a sacrifice usually a sacrifice is something you kill right but he says your body is a living sacrifice it's alive but it's offered as a sacrifice to God it's set apart it's holy it's pleasing to God so this body is a living sacrifice so part of you know this life of holiness living in sanctification is understanding that our body is a living sacrifice to God and it's part of our worship service or worship the word service could also be translated as worship so it's part of our worship toward God that this body is offered is kept as a living sacrifice a sacrifice is completely offered it's given to God and the way we do it is he says don't be conformed to this world let's don't follow the standards the values the patterns of this world don't be conformed to this world but be transformed have a change change of the way and the word transformed there many as many if you know it's the word metamorphosis just like how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly it's it's a transformation that takes place so he says don't be conformed to this world but you have a metamorphosis a supernatural change in your way of life your lifestyle your standards and values by the renewing of your mind by the renewing of your mind so the renewing of our minds that means we change the way we are thinking what does it mean to renew your mind so there are two levels at which we can think you can we can think according to the ways and the thoughts of man or we can think according to the ways and thoughts of God so renewing our minds means instead of thinking according to the ways and thoughts of man according to the ways and thoughts of the world we begin to think according to the ways and thoughts of God which are much higher so a renewed mind is a mind that is thinking according to the ways and thoughts of God and we do that by thinking and lying to the Word of God So when you and I start thinking in line with the Word of God, what's going to happen to us? We're going to go from being caterpillars to butterflies, transformation. Our standards and values are going to undergo such a metamorphosis. They're not going to be conformed to the world, but we're going to be transformed. We're going to be living at a much higher level, because now we've changed our thinking. We're thinking in line with the Word of God. We're thinking according to God's ways and God's thoughts. So part of our living holy offering our body as a living sacrifice, it's wholly acceptable to God, which is our act of worship, is renewing the mind. You choose to think in line with God's Word. So for example, if somebody comes in, does you harm? I mean, does something unfair and unjust? Now we have the choice. I can retaliate, or I can think in line with God. What did God say? Well, if I read in Romans 12, God says, don't repay evil for evil, but overcome evil with good. So I have a choice. I can repay evil for evil. Or God said, God's higher ways and higher thoughts are overcome evil with good. So even though that person may have done something bad, I do something good. So what's happening? We are operating out of a renewed mind or mind that is thinking in line to God's ways and God's thoughts, instead of man's ways and man's thoughts. Man's ways and man's thoughts are, hey, repay evil for evil. God's ways are overcome evil with good. So I'm renewing my mind. I'm choosing to think God's ways and God's thoughts. And the moment I'm doing that, my whole life is transformed. I'm no longer conformed to this world, but I'm transformed. We are metamorphosized. The caterpillar becomes a butterfly. You're transformed. And in the process, you have presented your body a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable to God in doing that. So our standards, our values, the way we live is a metamorphosized lifestyle that happens by the renewing of our mind with the word of God. Let me pause here. Is this clear so far? Is that okay? You understand that? Yes, Pastor. I just had a question. So keeping ourselves wholly sanctified. Like in the days that we live in, it is very subtle, right? How the evil is, it's kind of very subtle. So how do we keep God of the subtle things that the evil one brings in? Or to say, how do we discern? So there are some things that are very clear. God says, do this, don't do this. Very clear. But then there's also one more thing, the inner witness of the Holy Spirit. So if there is something wrong, the Holy Spirit will tell us. He will bear witness inside us. And when we are sensitive, when we are sensitive to the Holy Spirit, we will know something is wrong. And so the Bible says here, and I'm looking at Ephesians 4 and verse 30, it says, do not grieve the Holy Spirit. So that means when the Holy Spirit tells us something is wrong, then my responsibility is don't grieve Him. You say, yes, Holy Spirit. I will say no, because He's telling me in my spirit, hey, be careful. That's not right. Don't do that. So when I can't find something in the Bible, like you said, there are some things that are very, like, what should I do about this? Listen to the Holy Spirit. Now, the voice of your own spirit telling you what's right and wrong is called conscience. In Romans chapter 2, the Bible talks about this, that God has put a conscience. This is verse 15, Romans 2 verse 15. He says that the law is written in their hearts. Their conscience also bearing witness and their thoughts accusing or excusing.  It's the voice of your own spirit. It's going to excuse you or it's going to accuse you. It's going to tell you, hey, that's fine or that's not fine. So for all of us, there is the voice of our conscience and there's a voice of the Holy Spirit. So you listen, what do you feel inside? If your conscience says no, don't do it. Then don't go against your own conscience.  It'll say, yeah, that's okay or it'll say it's not okay.  Secondly, the Holy Spirit bears witness. The Holy Spirit will tell you yes or no. And so you've got to listen. So especially in these things, you can't find a chapter in verse, what is right, what's wrong, then you listen to your conscience. Listen to the Holy Spirit and guide you there. I'm looking at the question in the chat. John says, could you show some light on? Do not be conformed to the world practically. This is included saying for office parties and pubs or listening to secular music. Now, I don't want us to, when he says don't be conformed to the world, the most important thing is not to pattern ourselves, our lifestyle after this world. And there are these kinds of things, for example, okay, let's say going to the pub. Would you go or would you not go? Now, the Bible never says don't go to the pub. What the Bible does tell us is don't get drunk. So I'm not afraid to go into a pub or a place where they are drinking. I'm not afraid to do that.  I want to reach out to some people. I want to keep friendships with people. But even if I'm there, I'm following what the Bible says. I don't drink and I don't get drunk. So it's not about the pub. The instruction is avoid drunkenness. So I don't drink and I don't get drunk. But I could mingle with people in order to influence them for Jesus. Now, secular music, now in secular music, there's just a wide range of secular music. And I personally, you know, may listen to some classical music, which is not Christian. I may listen to Navanthen or instrumental, whatever. But I personally may not need to listen to secular music and I don't. I'm talking about general. But let's think about a musician. He may need to listen just to know what's happening, you know, in the music field and whatever. That's their choice, right? So the important thing is, you know, let me give the scripture here. Romans chapter 14, right?  And he gives us certain instructions, right? How do you make these decisions?  And I'm just going to highlight certain things here.  So Romans 14, he says, well, first of all, we know that verse 10, we're all going to give an account to things to God. Romans 14, 10, and verse, Romans 14, verse 12. And then second, verse 13, he says, don't cause another person to fall. So that's important in making that choice. What do you eat, what do you drink, et cetera. Don't make somebody else fall. Then understand verse 17 that the kingdom of God is not about eating, drinking, but it's about righteousness, peace and joy. And the Holy Spirit. Then verse 19, he says, do things that promote peace. Right? Do things that promote peace.  Where's this thing? I forgot this verse here. Yeah. Verse five, let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind. Romans 14, verse five, let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.  Somebody listens to secular music. Some people don't. Some people may go into a pub. Some people may not. So we don't judge each other on these things. You be persuaded in your own mind where you are going to draw the line.  They are a music teacher in a, you know, somewhere. And so they need to know what's happening in the secular world so they can then teach their course or whatever. And that's their profession. Now he's a believer. Now he may have to do it because of, you know, doing that of his profession.  The most important thing is we don't do things that are displeasing to God. Right. Yeah. The follow up question is also, you know, what if somebody's offering us food offered to idols, right? So, well, there are two sides to this. One, I know that I could pray over anything sanctify it and eat it. It will not affect me. Right. So that's first Timothy chapter four. You know, Paul tells Timothy, Timothy, you know, whatever is sold in the food places, you buy it.  He may have dedicated it to his God or God is before killing it. But in the end it's, you know, it's being sold in the market or it'll appear in the food table in a restaurant. We don't know. So it's being served to you.   You pray and it is sanctified by the word of God and pray. You're not afraid, right? But then there's the other side where I don't want to eat something that conveys a message, a wrong message. And you read about this in 1 Corinthians 8 and also in 1 Corinthians 10 that conveys a wrong message to people that as I'm believing in the idol or believing in their whatever they've done witchcraft. So suppose somebody comes and says, hey, eat this. It's going to give you spiritual power. I'll say, no, thank you. I'm not afraid of that food. It's just food, you know, whatever it may be a fruit or it may be something else. I'm not afraid of it. But I do not want to give them an understanding that, you know, oh, I'm going to receive that spiritual power big through that food. I don't need it. So I will say no. Right. Or if they come say, hey, this has been offered to an idol.  It's fine. Yeah. I'm sorry. No, no, I politely I refuse. Why? I don't want to give them a message that I am participating in the worship of that idol or participating in receiving that blessing, so-called blessing from the idol. So I refuse it. I saw that I'm afraid of the banana or I'm afraid of the food that has been made, but I am sending a message saying, I don't need the blessing of that idol. So that's what Paul teaches there in 1 Corinthians 8, chapter 8, verse 10. And if some other person is watching you, they will think you are engaging in the worship of that idol by receiving that food. They will be cost to stumble, especially if it's a young believer. They may also participate looking at you. Right. So, you know, they will, they will be cost to stumble. So therefore I refuse to participate in partaking of the idol. Right. So going back to the holy show of secular music. So you ask me, do I listen to secular music? My answer is no. Why? Simply because of the influence. I don't want that, you know, the words, the songs, the lyrics. I don't want it. I listened to a little bit of music and most of, and all of that is, you know, Christian music, worship music. That's me. So just answering that question there about secular music. So if you ask me, should, should, should we listen to secular music? I said, no, there's no need to. But I will not judge another person, another believer who may listen to secular music for whatever reason. Right. Sometimes you may, you may have special situations where, you know, somebody's a music teacher, a musician, and they may need to know what's happening in the music industry. So then they're exposing themselves to all the different things in their field. So I will not judge that person. That's their job. That's their profession. Of course he's a believer, but they engage in that. So I will not judge that person for that person. It's okay because that's part of their job. They need to know what's happening in their music industry or in their field. They may be teaching music or et cetera, et cetera. Or sometimes I don't haven't done this recently, but sometimes I may listen to instrumental music that's not necessarily Christian. Right. It's just play. I haven't done it for a long time. But so I don't see any, you know, harm with that. And I will not judge somebody who does that. It's their choice. So the main question is this. What is the impact of that music on your life? And we know that secular music, a lot of secular music, especially the words, the lyrics are not very positive. They don't have a good influence on our lives. Therefore we stay away from those kinds of things. Now if somebody wants to listen to some generic general secular music, I'll not judge that person. It's their choice as a believer. And I just, you know, follow the instructions. In Romans 14, which the Bible says that every person be fully persuaded in their own mind. If you ask me personally, should I be listening to secular music? My answer is no, there's no need. Because of the impact it has the lyrics have on us. Did I clarify that? Is that okay? Or is there a follow up question? You're welcome to ask. You clarified it. Thank you. All right. There's another question here about beard and moustache. Yeah, there is no, you know, we don't, there is no problem. You know, that's just the outward form. So you don't have to worry about beard and moustache.  Now, some people may quote from the Old Testament, but then you need to know and we will be seeing it in a later chapter that we are not under the Old Testament law. We are free from the law, which is the law of Moses. But we live by a higher law, which is the law of love and the law of the spirit. So when you're living by the New Testament, those things don't apply. We live by the law of the spirit and the law of love. We will cover that in an upcoming chapter. Okay. But a quick answer to your question is no, you don't have to be worried about it. It's your personal choice. Okay. All right. Interesting questions. Anything else? So what we were saying is, is it okay to hear news? So the answer is, is it okay to hear news? The answer is yes. You know, it's perfectly fine because, you know, as part of living on the earth, it's good to be informed of what's happening. It's good to know what's happening locally. That's in your part of the world. For instance, in my city, in my country, in the country, in the city, in the country where you are, it's good to know what's happening. Plus it's good to know what's happening globally. For many reasons, one is just for you to be aware, to be informed. Also, in terms of maybe if God wants you to pray, sometimes you may need to go on missions to certain places. Sometimes you may need to help people in certain areas. So for many number of reasons, it's good to be informed of what's happening in the world around us. Now, of course, you know, because of, you know, what is happening in the world today in the sense that there's an overload of information. There are so many channels and, you know, people producing news and a lot of the news could be false. And people are engaging in a lot of propaganda kind of thing. So you have to be careful where you get your news, right? So use reliable channels. Use channels that present facts as best as possible. So do that. So, you know, for me, of course, I read the local newspaper because I need to know what's going on in my own city. Also, look at a local newspaper, which is nation nationwide. So it gives me news of what's happening in the country. I also listen to BBC. So that gives me world news or global picture. So need to know what's happening in response to the world. And it's also interesting from a biblical perspective when you and in your second year and third year. Next semester, we'll be talking about. I'm not sure next semester, but in your second year and third year, we'll be talking about the end times. We'll be starting Revelation and Daniel. And so when we get into the details, then, you know, you really want to know what's happening with the nations that have been spoken off in the Bible. And how they are interacting because you're looking for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. So from that perspective, also very interesting to know what's happening in Europe and Asia and Turkey and Egypt and Syria, Russia, China. How are all these nations interacting? Because, you know, you want to know, you want to see the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. So from all those reasons, you know, I keep in touch with world news, keep in touch with what's happening from that perspective. So the answer to your question, is it okay to hear the news? I think every Christian needs to know what's happening for various, for all the reasons that I mentioned. But just be careful. Just use reliable sources for your news. Thank you. Okay. Rosalind, can I take this friendship for watching movies? Yeah. So even same thing for watching movies, right? We, there's nothing wrong in movies. We watch movies. A lot of good Christian movies are out there. And also, quote unquote, secular movies that are more in they could be documentaries, they could be biographies, they could be general in the sense without, you know, wrong things. We're going to filter violence all that is. So yeah, all that is fine. But the moment we start seeing evil or, you know, being those kinds of things, then you filter those out, you know, I'm not going to watch those things. Right. But there are good Christian movies, which, which have great value and which are having great influence for God. So there's nothing wrong with that. The film is just a medium. What's important is the message. What's coming across through that. So that's what we have to be careful. Zillatoli. There's a question on tattoos. Okay. I didn't know we're going to get into all this today. But we will answer those questions. Okay. What about tattoos? Now, as far as tattoos are concerned, the Bible is silent. The Bible doesn't say anything about tattoos. In the Old Testament, we have, I think, two references where two or three places where God tells us people in the Old Testament, don't mark yourself. Don't cut yourself like others. And so when you read the context, and I, you know, I can't remember the references off and but when you read those contacts. God is saying, don't do it like the other, the other tribes, because they do it as an act of worship to their God. So other tribes would mark themselves, would cut themselves up as an act of worship to their gods. And God says, don't do that. Now, some people quote those two or three references and say, don't have tattoos. But it's not talking about tattoos. It's talking about marking your body, cutting your own body as an act of worship. Okay. So, so basically the Bible is silent as far as tattoos are concerned. So what should our response be? First, don't judge somebody who has tattoos. If they want to mark their body and put tattoo on it, it's their choice. Right. Second, so we will not judge them. Second, we just have to look at the medical side of tattoos, meaning how is it going to affect your body? The body is a temple of God. How is it going to affect? Now, there are varying information on this. Some say, okay, today the way the whole tattoo industry works and how they do it is very safe. It doesn't harm your body, et cetera. But then I just look at it as, hey, you are unnecessarily putting some chemical in your body or on your skin and so on. I just look at it from that perspective. Why would you want to do it? So just, you know, avoid it. So if you ask me, this is my personal opinion, it's not a chapter and words. My personal opinion is it's unnecessary. Why do you want to do it? Will I judge somebody who has tattoos? I will not. It's their choice. Will I prevent somebody from getting a tattoo? I will not. That's their choice. I will just tell them personally, I don't need it. I don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's good.  It's not there in the Bible. So that's where, you know, we leave it. Okay. Okay. Matthew 15, 10, 11, or I'll be getting this. Okay. Okay.  So, you know, the whole issue was on, you know, Jesus finished feeding the 5,000 in Matthew 14. In Matthew 15, they complained to Jesus about the death of Matthew 15. Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 15, hey, there is something more important than just the washing, the physical washing of the hands. And then he says, you know, it's not what goes in, but it's what comes out because what comes out is an expression of what's in the heart, right? At the 15 verse 18 and 19, right? So these are the things. And it's these expressions that what comes out, which expresses the heart, these are things verse 20, which really affect the man, which defile the man.  And he says, that's the real danger which destroys our lives, not eating with unwashed hands. Is it okay? Yeah. So it is also about what you feed into your heart, right? What we listen to, what we watch, what we read. So it's also about what is going inside, right? Yeah. Yeah. So definitely that we have to be careful, you know, so I'll just give, you know, be two scripts on that, like, which tell us, you know, we have to be very careful of what we put into our heart. One is 1 Thessalonians chapter five, like it says, verse 22, you know, abstain from every form of evil. So stay away from every appearance of evil. I also like Psalm 100, where he says, I will verse three, Psalm 100 verse three, I will set nothing wicked before my eyes. So I'm not going to, you know, see anything evil. So because these things definitely influence us.  So God your heart, what goes in, you know, instead of tend to the word. So the answer to questions, yeah, we have to protect what goes into our being. So we keep all evil stuff out, whether it's through music, through movies, or, you know, whatever form, how meat, which were medium evil is presented to us, we keep it away, right? And so we filter those things out. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you best. Okay, welcome. All right, quickly we'll answer the remaining questions here. There's a question here about, about wearing gold, can you wear gold or not?  The answer is yes. Now, when you look at the passages in 1 Timothy chapter two and 1 Peter chapter three, where the Bible's, you know, people use that often to say, you know, don't wear, and they shouldn't wear gold, those other thing. But if you look at Sarah herself, in the first Peter three says, you know, Sarah, so when you go back to the Old Testament, look at Sarah, Sarah wore a lot of jewelry. So you can't use Sarah as a reference, not to wear gold. So the main thing there in 1 Peter three is not about not wearing gold, but it's about the hidden man of the heart that should stand out.  It's not nothing wrong with it. But our focus is not on the outward appearance, our focus is on, you know, having a pure heart before God. Okay. So let's see now. Last one is Genesis Leviticus 19 and verse 28. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So Leviticus 90 20, you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead nor tattoo any marks on you. I am the Lord. Okay. So this is one of those verses was 27 28, which I was just referring the context that is about respect for the dead or for, you know, the spiritism, the witchcraft, those kind of things. So that's, that's the reason why they're doing this. Right. So, so that's why I say, you know, we, we can't, we don't, we can't use these scriptures and say, don't tattoo or don't put marks. Otherwise, you know, for many reasons, we do mark our bodies in various ways. So I don't judge people. We don't judge people about the tattoos. And bless when you come into the New Testament, you understand, we're not subject to the law and we will talk about that later. Because if I use one or two verses from the mosaic law, I'll have to take every scripture in the mosaic law and keep it, which includes the 10 commandments, the sacrificial laws, the ceremonial laws, the community laws, we'll have to keep everything. Right. I can't take two scriptures and say, well, you follow this and, you know, from the mosaic law. Well, if you're going to follow it, Paul writes in Galatians, you've got to keep the whole thing, all of the law. But he says Galatians 216 by the law, nobody's justified. And we will see later on that the New Testament teaches us we've got something better than the mosaic law. Okay. We'll come to that in the future. Okay. Last question, maybe there's a church that doesn't believe in women wearing jewelry, cutting the hair, wearing makeup. Is this biblical? Under the law in the Old Testament. Okay. So, yeah, that's kind of just what we spoke about, Shani, that, you know, there are a lot of things in the Old Testament, which, you know, together we say is the mosaic law, the law of Moses, so many things. But we are not subject to that. Right. I'll just give you two quick references. If you go with me to Galatians 5. And Galatians 5, I think it's verse 18, Paul says, if you're led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Galatians 5 and verse 18, if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Galatians 5, 18. So the New Testament, the believer is led by the Spirit. So he's not under the law. We don't live by the law. So we are, first of all, as the New Testament believers, we are led by the Spirit. Second, Romans 13. If you walk in love, you fulfill the law. Romans 13 verse 10, I think it is Romans 13. Yeah. Romans 13 verse 10. Love is a fulfillment of the law. So if you walk in love, you've kept the law. So two things for New Testament, you're led by the Spirit, you're not under the law. You walk in love, you fulfill the law. So that's how we live in the New Testament. We are not subject to the Old Testament law. Just to quickly sum up, we have a full chapter coming up on that. Maybe we discuss these things. Hope that helps. Okay. All right. I know I tried to quickly answer several questions. Okay. So what we were talking about is this holiness thing. We are called to be holy, sanctified, which means in our standards, in our values, we are different, right? But and I think the reason all these questions came up is because many times holiness is evaluated based on these things. Okay. I'll just quickly close with a testimony. You know, when I was in college, I just moved to the US to go study in college. And so one year I was living with some Christian people.  So then after one year, the lease ended and so everybody was going out finding on their own. So I was looking for a place and then to go stay for my next year. And so I didn't put a notice in the church bulletin. I'm looking for a place to stay. And that particular Sunday, a guy walked in to the service. So they handed him the bulletin and he walked out. So he didn't even stay for the service. But then he saw my name that he called me. And he said, Hey, I saw your name in the bulletin. Are you looking for a place? And I said, Yeah. He said, come and see my place. Now I didn't have a car or anything. So I said, I don't, I don't know where you live. He said, No, I'll come and pick you up. So he came, he came in a red pickup truck. And the moment I got and he turned on the car and there was this heavy metal music going on. And I was like, Oh gosh, what am I getting myself into? And so he took me to his place. It was near the campus itself. And I saw the place. I liked the place. Then he asked me so many questions. He said, Do you drink? I said, No.  I said, No. He said, you know, what kind of music you listen to? He said gospel music. I said gospel music. So after he asked all these questions, he said, You know, I don't think we can be roommates because I drink, I listen to heavy metal music. I might bring some girls over all of that stuff. I said, I don't think we can be roommates. He told me then I went back, I was praying. And in my spirit, I felt I need to step in. I need to go live with him because I believe light is more powerful than darkness.  He said, Are you sure? I said, Yeah, I want to come and be there. Now, I'm not telling everybody to do this, but there I had a word from God. I knew God wanted me to be there. So I moved in with him. And, you know, like he said, he would, you know, when we grow grocery shopping, he would buy his six pack of beer and everything, all that stuff. And he had his music going on and everything. But in one and a half years that I lived with him, things changed. We used to, you know, sit down, we'll have our dinner together. Sometimes he will drink his beer. I'll drink my cup of milk and, you know, have dinner. He would ask me questions. I would explain things from the Bible. In one and a half years, his life changed so much, you know, he on his own, I didn't tell him to do it. First thing, he got rid of all his heavy metal music. He threw it out. He had a big collection. He stopped, you know, swearing, using all that. He stopped bringing girls over. Next thing I know, he stopped the, the buying even, even stop beer. I remember one day I came back from college, hey, go look in the free refrigerator. There was no beer. So what happened? He said, gone is gone. He gave his life to Christ. He became part of a church. And I never forced him. I just lived with him. I believed light is more powerful than darkness. And of course, after one and a half years, you know, we went our separate ways. Until today, in fact, I think last year, he called me. He's now in Arizona. He called me. He said, there's one person who's really impacted my life and it is you. And this happened way back, you know, in college, this is in the early 1990s. And here we are 30 years later. He still remembers.  And I saw in one and a half years his whole life change. You know, just that light is more powerful than darkness. And that's how we must live. Okay. I'll take it more time. If you're going to close. Okay. Okay. God bless you guys. It's time over now. I'll see you again. Okay. Please head to your, to your ticket break and get to your next class. Okay. See you again soon. God bless. God bless you. Bye now.


I'm sure you've been asked about this. So apologize if this is a repeat. But what are you seeing from Tiair Tart? I know he was suspended for a game, but seemed to be pretty active on Sunday. What kind of progress do you think he's making? I think he's making good progress. Again, with all of those young players at all positions, it was a little bit of a struggle for him not having an off-season program and limited training camp, but I think he's come in and has done a good job for us. A big, strong guy with some athletic ability and wants to get better. So love working with him. And going up against a guy like Aaron Rodgers this coming week, what are the main focal points that you'll have your guys hone in on as to how you can affect him? Yeah, I mean, you can't trick him. Like, he's smart. He does a good job with heart counts. He does a good job with getting on the ball when guys are trying to substitute. So he's a great player and all a famed player and probably win the MVP this year. So that's going to be a challenge for all of us on defense. Jim White. And coach, one more on Tart. I know Mike was kidding yesterday about Tart, maybe lobbying to try to get that sack recorded for him on Sunday. Did he think he'd had it? Did you had to break the news to him that he didn't get recorded a sack and you think he deserves one there? Hell, hell, I was lobbying for him. We need as many sacks as we can get, right? So no, it was a great explosive play by him. And he did a good job of just attacking the line of scrimmage. And like I said, if he continues down the path that he's on, he'll have an opportunity to make more sacks that count. And I've got one on Daequan. He does certainly a lot of work. Doesn't get the attention that Jarrell did when he was with you last year. Probably didn't get the attention that Jeffrey does, but he continues to make plays. Had to force fumble Sunday. Had to block field goal the week before. What stands out about his work ethic and how happy are you when you see him make plays that get him recognition? You know what? The guy is what we would consider to be a gym rat. Like he's always studying tape, always asking questions. And anytime you got a guy that you know cares about the team and cares about football and learning and been in a league believe this is seventh or close to eighth year somewhere around there. And still trying to learn and do what's best for the team. You can't do anything but root for him. And I think he's having a really solid year for us. John. Hey coach Williams, question for you. I know you touched on sacks earlier. I wonder if, you know, as much as the team is in need of sacks, is it fair do you think to expect more from, you know, maybe Jeffrey in that regard? Or, you know, is the fact that he's so often double team kind of prevent him from getting after the passer? Well, I mean, you do have sacks and then you have pressures and hits and things like that. And I think when you look at Jeff, he's been pressuring the quarterback. And he's missed some opportunities and, you know, slept and different things. And so I think he's doing, I mean, everybody can do a little bit more. And I think he wants to do a little bit more but he's fighting and battling in there just like all of those guys. And I mean, I've been in this league long enough to know that sometimes sacks come in bunches. And as long as we're still playing, we're gonna continue to work and grind and do the things that we need to do to be successful with winning as a football team. Cause it ain't just about a stack, one stack that's for us here. And I know Mike preaches it, it's about winning. Like that's what we care about. And that's what our players care about. And maybe, you know, sort of a similar version of that same question, I guess, as he continues in his career, is that, you know, kind of the next level for him being able to, you know, pressure the passer even more than he is right now?   So again, it's, I think if you ask Jeff, could he have four sacks or us win the football game? I think I pretty much know the answer to that. And so he cares about winning and cares about the team. So that's what's important to us. Thank you. Buck. Yeah, a couple of follow-ups for your coach. Just going back to Dayquan, how much of a physical difference, talk about him being a gym rat, much of a physical difference do you see in him from the time that you first got here to where he kind of is now? You know what, he really is taking care of his body. He's leaned up, dropped some weight. And again, I think it shows and he's healthy right now and playing hard. Like I said earlier, I think he's having a heck of a year for us and we're gonna need him going forward here against Green Bay. And then on Jack, he seems to be asked to do a variety of different things. I mean, they all are, I guess, but to play a little more on the outside from time to time when the numbers with outside linebackers haven't necessarily been there. How has he kind of responded to the variety of different things that he's been asked to do within the defense? You know what, Jack's a smart player and he does whatever we ask him to do. And again, we wouldn't ask a guy to do something that we don't think they can physically or mentally handle. So he's done a really good job for us and we're gonna need him to continue to do a good job and even better job going forward. And then last one for me. The time to throw with quarterbacks seems to be so much quicker this year. At least it's progressing that way. Saul Rogers had had a really short time to throw last week as well. When they're doing things like that to help mitigate pressure, is it just as simple as get your hands up when the ball is released or any kind of help your guys be more effective in such a short span of time? Yeah, I mean, I think you can work on getting your hands up and ball disruption and those things. And I think when you look at quarterbacks that are generally getting sacked, everybody wants to point to the offensive line a lot of times and here I am defending the old line as a D-line coach but a lot of times when quarterbacks are getting sacked they're holding the ball generally.  So generally when quarterbacks are getting sacked I watch every sack throughout the league every week and there's generally a trend guys are holding the ball or people are making mistakes. And then there's some that are just flat out beating people. So I mean, it's a combination of all those different things. Thanks very much. Paul, I saw you jump in, do you have anything? Yes, please, wondering about Jeffrey, is there any temptation at all to move him or do you think that's something that might come later in his career? Will you shift him out of that position to try to get him into, I don't know, more advantageous spots or make people account for him in different ways? Yeah, no, I mean, that's a good thought and trust me, every week we're game planning and moving different guys in different spots. And right now I think the position that he's playing he's doing a great job. And the stats don't always tell the story when you're playing a defensive tackle position. So we're going right now, we're just, I mean, honestly, we're just trying to win the football game every week and do whatever it takes. And I think Jeff's willing to do whatever it takes. So that's kind of where we are with that. I'm going to follow up on Jeffrey. Obviously last year it was a shortened season for him coming off the injury. This year he's played, you know, entire year and hopefully a lot more to come. How has he kind of managed that? How do you think his body's managed it and how maybe some of the time he's had off during the week kind of helped him stay in a good position here in late December? Yeah, you know what? He is a big, strong, young, athletic player and he also takes care of his body. So I think right now going in our last two weeks of the regular season, I mean, I think he's right exactly where we need him to be. I mean, anytime you play that position that he plays and play it at the level that he plays where he's going hard and playing a lot of snaps. And I mean, there's going to be a little bit of wear and tear but it's no different than any other defensive lineman across the league kind of has right now. So I mean, I'm happy with where he is right now. How is he from a diet standpoint or from what he puts in his body? And is that a part of it where you have to preach to him you got to eat right, you got to do things right. I'm sure you're seeing some guys come in that want to go to McDonald's or Wendy's every day. I mean, how does he keep his weight up and stay in looks like great shape? Yeah, I think, you know, with him, I don't, we don't allow him to eat in our room and we're not really around and to kind of watch him and monitor him but he takes care of his body.  So you can't look and move like he does eating McDonald's and Wendy's. So I think he's doing a good job of taking care of himself and kind of listening to what Frank and those guys in the weight room are kind of telling them what to do. And I got one more on the Friday, you know, you guys work hard during the course of the week and that individual appeared on Friday to have a little fun with those guys running routes. So I've seen Jeffrey catch passes. I've seen them throw passes. How much do you think those guys enjoy that small part of the practice week and do they try to show off a little bit? Yeah, you know what? We take about three minutes every, like you said, every Friday and kind of see and make sure we film it and those guys like that, we end up watching it on Saturday mornings and they like to kind of critique each other. So it's a good way to, one, to get them loose and moving, but two, it's also a good way to have fun and see who can catch some balls. Heck, you never know, they may be auditioning for an offensive spot one day. So.


Ukraine radar decoy fools Russia into missile strike. A company that makes decoys for the Ukrainian armed forces said Russia had been fooled by an elaborate fake radar array and had used up expensive ammunition to destroy it. According to Insider Media Outlet, it's the latest win claimed by MetInvest, a Ukrainian steel company that, among other things, manufactures detailed decoys for use by the country's armed forces in the Facebook post. The company said that Russian troops had struck a mock-up of a Ukrainian P-18 Malachite radar unable to tell the difference between a fake and the real thing. The company shared images of the decoy, which comes equipped with a rotating array and a camouflaged base just like the real thing, before and after the strike. Video of a missile strike began circulating on pro-Russian social media, described by one telegram group as being a successful strike on a P-18 radar in the direction of the district of Mariinsky. Insider Media Outlet Militani geolocated the site in the video with a distinctive triangular field to the Nipro-Petrovsk region bordering Donetsk, which is consistent with the telegram group's description. MetInvest did not give the date or location of the reported strike. MetInvest says it has made at least 250 fakes to lure the Russians into targeting them, including the fake M777 howitzers.

Hi, I'm Ashley from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. Today, we're going to learn about magnets and do some experiments to understand how and why they work. We'll learn about one of the most familiar tools involving magnetism, a compass. And finally, we'll build a simple electromagnet. You should come away with a better understanding of magnetism and the way we use electromagnetics in our everyday lives. We'll start by looking at these two simple bar magnets. What do you notice about them? First, you'll probably notice they're made of metal. Now look at the ends. Do you see the markings? Take these two bar magnets and bring the two ends marked with the letter N close together. Do you notice something? The two ends marked with the letter N tend to repel or push each other away. Try the same thing with the ends marked with the letter S. So, we now know that the ends of a magnet marked with the same letter repel each other. Now turn the magnets so that the letter N and the letter S point towards each other. They move together. Opposite ends of the magnet attract each other. Those N and S markings define the north and south poles of the magnet. The poles are where the magnetic field lines converge or come together. Just like our Earth, which has a north and a south pole, each and every magnet has at least two opposite poles. Did you know that if you were able to take your magnet and break it into two, new poles would appear on the cut ends? The new smaller magnets you made would have north and south poles just like the original magnet that you cut in half. You can't have a magnet with just one pole. Let's go back to the attraction of different poles. Did you notice if the magnetic force changed as you move the opposite poles nearer and further apart? As the opposite poles get closer, the pole forces get stronger until the two magnets are drawn together. Magnetic forces can be quite strong and can even act through other solid materials. Not every item has magnetic properties. Most magnets contain a mineral called iron, which gives the item its magnetic properties. Not all magnets are shaped like a bar magnet. Others are cylindrical. Some are disc shaped and some shaped like a horseshoe. We saw where the poles were in the bar magnet, but where would they be on this horseshoe magnet? First, let's start with the familiar bar magnet we've worked with. We'll pull the bar magnet behind a sheet of paper and add some iron filings on the surface of the paper. Do you think you'll be able to identify the poles of the magnets? The poles are where the field lines converge or come together. Doing the same experiment with other types of magnets show us where their magnetic poles are located. Does a disc magnet remind you of something you've probably seen before? It reminds us of the magnetic poles of our own Earth. We're not talking about geographic north and south poles. The Earth rotates once each day around an axis, and at the end of the axis are those geographic poles. The magnetic north and south poles are slightly different than the geographic poles, but we can use a compass to point toward the northern magnetic pole, giving us a general northerly direction. Those magnetic poles are very strong and can aid us in finding directions of travel. Take a look at a magnetic compass.  Making sure any other magnets are not close by, move the compass around to get the needle to rotate freely. Rotate one way, then another. The needle will return to the same northerly direction. Turning the compass to correspond to the direction in which the needle points shows us the direction of the northern magnetic pole of the Earth. If you don't have a magnetic compass, you can make one with a magnet and some string. All you have to do is hang the magnet on a string. The magnet will eventually align itself with the magnetic poles of the Earth just like the compass we saw. So far, everything we've been talking about has to do with natural magnetism. The bar magnet was made of a kind of iron that is ferromagnetic or naturally magnetic. Some materials, like those making up this nail, aren't naturally magnetic, but the nail can become temporarily magnetic. Try this experiment. Rub the nail along the length of the magnet and try picking up the paperclip. The magnetic properties we've given the nail with the magnet will weaken after a while, but it shows that some materials can take on magnetic properties with a little help. There's another way to make the nail magnetic. We'll do it by sending electrical current through a wire. First, let's begin with an observation. Try to pick up the paperclips with the wire wrapped nail. What happens? Next, take a wire wrapped nail and using the alligator clips, attach a battery pack. Now, we'll try picking up the paperclips. What do you think might happen if the electrical current stops? Do you think the nail would hold onto its magnetic properties? Let's disconnect the battery and see. As before, the nail kept some of the magnetic properties after it was wrapped with the wire and an electrical current was run through it. This makes what is known as an electromagnet. Electromagnets can be very powerful and can have lots of uses. Now, let's put what we learned to use. We're going to make a motor. If you want to make one too, you'll need a D-sized battery, two large paperclips bent like this, a button magnet, and a coil of wire like this one. We place the magnet on the battery and the paperclips in this position. The coil is placed in the paperclip supports. With a bit of finesse, the coil will start rotating, making a simple electric motor. Electrical energy and magnetic energy work together. The magnet pushes on the current and the wire to make it rotate. The energy of this rotation can be harnessed to do work for us. You can harness the power of electric motors like this to make all sorts of things work, like blenders, canopiders, and vacuum cleaners, anything that rotates and uses electricity. They're bigger and more powerful than the one we made today. Today, we learned about natural magnets. We learned about the natural magnetic properties of the Earth and about magnetic poles and how a compass works. We also learned about electromagnets, how they work, and how to make them. I hope you have a better understanding of magnetism and go on to learn more about the many ways magnets can work for us in our everyday lives. Thanks for watching!


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com coming at you with a 2020-2021 Panini Select basketball blaster box. Random team break number one with nine of those basketball mixer spots being given away at the end of the break. But first, the break itself, big thanks to this group for making it happen. Thanks for putting in the work, everybody. All teams are in. Let's roll it, randomize it. Snake Eyes, two times. There are names and teams. Different dice roll for the giveaway part, as always, one and two. Snake Eyes again for the teams, one and two. All right, here's the first half of the list right here. And the next half of the list right over here. And let's just print and rip. Retail debut. What are we looking for here? Exclusive inserts, turbo charge, rookie revolution and more. Let's see what we got. Rest of the packs. Security sticker. Here's the final printout, hot off the presses. Thanks for hanging with me on a Thursday night, everybody. I appreciate it. Half time on this game, I can switch over to the other basketball game on TNT. This is the Warriors at Denver. Oh, commercial. All right. Good luck, everybody. Let me get off with Isaac O'Coro, there's LeBron, Ben Simmons might make a return here, Duncan Robinson, Campazo, Isaiah Stewart, Tyrell Terry, Desmond Bain, rookie card and select company Pascal Siakham. Desmond Bain, Grizzlies coming back, I think twice from like 20 point deficits. Just a second before I give away the mixer spots, but I just want to hit you with the box score here. Game three, Grizzlies beat the T-Wolves, 104 to 95. Grizzlies outscored the T-Wolves in the fourth quarter, 37 to 12. Desmond Bain right here, very big team effort. Desmond Bain, 26 points, six rebounds, two assists, a steal, two blocks. So a lot of great rookies that we've been pulling from the Grizzlies over the years, so hey, take a look at some of those cards. All right. Now let's gather everybody here. Zach, Dana Bryan and everyone in between. New dice, new list and it'll be the top nine after, top nine after four. We'll get into that basketball mixer that we have on the site. I think it's the 11, 10 or 11 box quick hit basketball mixer. So for the hard way, one, two, three and fourth and final time. Good luck everybody. Once again, top nine after four, there's four right there. So from 10 on down, sorry Kevin, sorry Kevin and everybody else from 10 to 30, appreciate you giving it a shot. Thank you.
